    Due to a deadlocked tie after two rounds of voting and the non-tied contestants being unable to come up with a unanimous decision to vote out either Hannah or Zeke, the non-tied and non-immune contestants — Adam, Bret, David, Jessica, Sunday and Will — drew rocks to resolve the vote; Jessica picked the black rock and was therefore eliminated.
