Survivor Cambodia: Second Chance's merged Orkun tribe snuffed Ciera Eastin and Stephen Fishbach's torches during Season 31's back-to-back episodes Wednesday night on CBS.

Ciera, who previously competed on Survivor: Blood vs. Water, and Stephen Fishbach, who had appeared on Survivor: Tocantins, became the tenth and eleventh castaways voted out of the game and the season's fourth and fifth jury members.

Ciera was first ousted with only three votes cast against her on Night 26 because Jeremy Collins opted to play his hidden Immunity Idol to save the tribe's main target Fishbach. At the end of the second episode, Fishbach was blindsided on Night 29 with four votes even though he had used his advantage in the game.

The special double episode began on Night 24 with Fishbach, Spencer Bledsoe and Jeremy trying to jump back into the majority alliance after joining Ciera, Abi-Maria Gomes and Kelley Wentworth for the Kelly Wiglesworth vote-off.

Jeremy talked things out with Tasha Fox and insisted he couldn't tell her the plan. Tasha was okay with it because everyone had been operating with voting blocks, however, she wasn't going to give the guys another break. Jeremy told his alliance that Wiglesworth was "too much" because she was in "everyone's business."

Joe Anglim, who was Wiglesworth's closest ally, was pissed off about the betrayal but tried not to lose his cool.

The next day, the rain was pouring down and it was freezing. Ciera said the weather ruined her strategy because she was stuck in the shelter all day and couldn't go off and have individual conversations with anyone. Keith Nale admitted Survivor is not fun but the cold really didn't bother him because he wanted to win a million dollars.

The tribe then met Survivor host Jeff Probst for a Reward Challenge.

The castaways were divided into two teams of five, and the winners would be taken somewhere where they'd have a roof over their heads, warmth, blankets, food and circus entertainment.

For the challenge, three people from each team had to battle for a ball and then work together to get that ball into a basket while the other team played tough defense with no rules. One ball in the basket equaled one point, and the first team to obtain three points won Reward.

The teams were Wentworth, Fishbach, Jeremy, Kimmi Kappenberg and Keith vs. Spencer, Tasha, Abi, Joe and Ciera.

Probst explained this challenge was a repeat from Season 18, when Fishbach scored the winning basket.

In the end, Spencer's group won. He said it felt almost as important as winning Individual Immunity because he'd have a chance to bond with these players.

While enjoying Reward, Ciera pointed out they only needed six people, and Spencer agreed, saying Fishbach was dangerous because of his advantage. Joe wanted Fishbach out for awhile, so he also thought it was a good plan. Joe just didn't want to bank on anything because he knew he was one of the biggest targets left.

Joe was correct because back at camp, everyone talked about going after him. Keith wanted him gone, as did Wentworth and Fishbach. The rain made everyone miserable, and Fishbach was having terrible stomach issues. He cried in fear his body was giving out on him, but there was no way he was going to quit.

On Day 26, Jeremy felt bad for Fishbach because his feet were swollen and pretty destroyed. He hoped Fishbach was okay because he's an honest and loyal guy. Jeremy wanted to keep him until the end.

It then became time for the Individual Immunity Challenge. Before it commenced, Probst asked everyone to grab one white rock and one black rock. After explaining the players must balance a ball on an overhanging piece of wood while standing on one foot -- a challenge from Keith's previous season that he lost -- Probst explained a twist.

Probst offered the tribe a brand new shelter that would be constructed for them, including a fire pit in the center. But there was a catch. The players had to show a white rock, meaning they'd surrender and drop out of the Immunity Challenge, or a black rock, meaning they'd want to play. Probst said five players had to show a white rock in order to receive the new shelter.

It all came down to trust, and everyone showed a white rock except for Joe, who needed to play or else he thought he'd be going home, and Keith, who simply wanted to beat Joe "the golden boy." The challenge was therefore between only two competitors and Joe ended up winning for the fourth time.

Once Orkun returned to camp, Fishbach wanted to take out Ciera because she was "obsessed with aggressive gameplay." He told Kimmi his plan and thought it could work by potentially involving Wentworth or Abi.

Joe then promised Ciera, Abi, Tasha and Spencer that Fishbach was next to go. Ciera wanted to flush the advantage, and so she and Wentworth planned to write Kimmi's name down while everyone else wrote Fishbach -- just because of Fishbach's advantage or the possibility he had a hidden Immunity Idol in his possession.

Afterwards, Tasha told Spencer it was "The Ciera Show." Tasha wanted to "unhinge Ciera's crew," but Spencer thought it was in his best interest to get Fishbach out first.

The decision came down to Jeremy's alliance with Joe, Tasha and Spencer, who were all tight. Joe acknowledged Ciera was a liar but Fishbach was a huge strategic threat. They finally agreed to all vote Fishbach because of his advantage, but Jeremy didn't like the plan because he needed Fishbach around. Jeremy and Fishbach had each other's backs.

The decision became an issue because Spencer thought the smart choice was blindsiding and getting rid of Fishbach. Spencer didn't want Fishbach to go forward in the game with Kimmi at his side, but Jeremy didn't want Ciera to gain traction.

At Tribal Council that night, Joe announced he only played in the Immunity Challenge because he thought he was next to go. Fishbach said there were many clusters of power and he had no idea what was going to happen. Ciera noted lines hadn't been established yet, and so Probst was expecting someone to get blindsided.

The white or black rock could potentially be a million-dollar mistake for someone.

Before Probst read the votes, Jeremy played his idol for Fishbach, who was incredibly shocked and grateful. Spencer and Joe looked frustrated, and Fishbach promised Jeremy he'd stick with him until the very end.

Probst then revealed Fishbach got five votes, Ciera received three votes, and Kimmi earned herself two. Ciera was therefore eliminated and said "well played" to Jeremy on her way out.

The episode's closing credits later showed that Wentworth and Ciera voted for Kimmi, while Fishbach, Kimmi and Jeremy voted for Ciera.

After Tribal Council, Fishbach felt he really owed Jeremy big time. Jeremy was glad Fishbach would take him to the end even though his risky move ultimately put a new target on his back. Spencer questioned jumping ship because he felt lied to.

On Day 27, Fishbach's feet looked more infected than ever, and he was very overwhelmed.

That night, the tribemates participated in a "Survivor Folklore" Reward Challenge in which they were told a long story about Cambodian history and had to answer multiple choice questions to determine how well they swallowed all the information.

During the challenge, Wentworth stumbled across a clue to a hidden Immunity Idol. Spencer and Fishbach were neck and neck towards the end, and Fishbach ended up winning a helicopter ride to a resort with a spa. Fishbach would be feasting on steak, chicken wings and cocktails.

Fishbach got to choose one person to accompany him on the Reward, and he picked Tasha as a way to mend their bond and solidify their alliance. When he got to choose someone else, Fishbach selected Jeremy, his best buddy.

Spencer said Fishbach's decision was questionable and it was clear he was tighter with Tasha and Jeremy, so he needed to do something about that. Fishbach told his two allies on Reward that his advantage allowed him to steal someone's vote and then vote twice. The threesome agreed that if Joe lost immunity, he was going next.

Later that night, Wentworth grabbed her hidden Immunity idol under the shelter while everyone was off finding food or relaxing in a hammock.

On Day 28 back at camp, Keith said everyone had to be blind not to see Jeremy, Fishbach and Tasha as a dangerous group.

Although Joe was a serious threat, Spencer told the tribe they should get rid of Fishbach because of his advantage. Abi called Spencer and Joe sketchy, so she didn't really know whom to work with. The group agreed Tasha would be their backup vote if Fishbach won immunity.

On Day 29, the Orkun tribe met Probst again for another Individual Immunity Challenge. Using only their feet, the players had to stack blocks and place a flag in the center of the structure. Keith and Jeremy both participated in this challenge before and both lost. To make matters worse, Jeremy got eliminated the night he lost this challenge.

It came down to Spencer and Joe, and Spencer ended up winning immunity. Joe felt vulnerable and nervous for the first time since the merge.

Fishbach was thrilled Joe finally wasn't safe. He wanted Joe out since Day 1 and finally had his shot.

The tribe worried Joe might keep winning every challenge, so their initial plan was to get him out and tell Joe they were going after Abi.

Kimmi, Fishbach, Jeremy and Tasha planned to target Joe, but Wentworth told the cameras she intended to blindside Fishbach with Spencer, Joe, Abi and Keith.

Fishbach worried Abi was suspicious of him, but Abi more so thought Joe was shady and she didn't trust him. Wentworth then told Abi that Joe wasn't playing them and they needed to stick with the plan of eliminating Fishbach. Spencer also feared Abi might ruin the plan because she was "on the war path."

Jeremy -- who was dead set on getting Joe out -- suggested he might have an idol, so Fishbach planned to use his advantage and also cast votes for Abi in case Joe played one. Fishbach revealed to Spencer he wanted to split the vote and explained what his advantage was.

Spencer realized it was going to be a risky move to target Fishbach considering idols could be thrown around and he also had his advantage. On top of that, Abi was unreliable.

At Tribal Council that night, Wentworth confirmed permanent alliances were being built. Likewise, Tasha believed the voting-blocks method was out the window going forward. Fishbach pointed out the chance of a blindside was 33%, while Tasha noted a shift was happening.

It turned out Fishbach played his advantage, stealing Joe's vote and casting one vote for Joe and one vote for Abi. Joe announced it sucked but it was all part of the game. Joe shook his head repeating "powerful" when Fishbach voted.

Probst then revealed the votes. Two people voted for Joe, three castaways voted for Abi, and four players voted for Fishbach.

Fishbach admitted it was a great blindside, and he complimented his tribemates on his way out.

The second episode's closing credits later showed that Fishbach and Jeremy voted for Joe; Fishbach, Kimmi and Tasha voted for Abi; and Spencer, Wentworth, Abi and Keith voted for Fishbach. Joe's vote was stolen.
