Josh
“
I mean, this game is all about trust and making alliances and never fully trusted the alliance that I had going into tonight. I think I just revealed just a little too much of who I was out here and that sent me packing so I'm thankful that I got this far in this game and got this experience. It's been awesome.

Episode Title
The title of the episode was said by Missy about Julie's quit messing up everyone's plans.

Survivor: San Juan del Sur, also known as Survivor: San Juan del Sur — Blood vs. Water, is the twenty-ninth season of Survivor. This season revived the format of Survivor: Blood vs. Water, in which pairs of loved ones were split to create the initial tribes. However, San Juan del Sur departed from the precedent set by Blood vs. Water in one respect, as it featured only new contestants. The season saw one quit and has to date produced four returning players for subsequent seasons.
Early drama revolved around inflammatory former baseball player John Rocker and his girlfriend Julie McGee. After the former was blindsided and the latter quit the game, strategic threats Josh Canfield and Jeremy Collins were eliminated. The game then developed into a rather shapeless affair in which no one player was understood to exercise clear control. However, The Amazing Race 21 alumnus Natalie Anderson distinguished herself with her subtle strategy, manifested in such moves as her nearly unilateral elimination of Alec Christy, her long-premeditated vengeance on Jon Misch and her use of a Hidden Immunity Idol on Jaclyn Schultz to consolidate late-game control. She would go on to win the title of Sole Survivor in a 5-2-1 jury vote over Jaclyn and Missy Payne.

Production
The theme and name of the season were announced at the Reunion Show of Survivor: Cagayan. The production flew back to San Juan del Sur, Nicaragua, the same location where Survivor: Nicaragua and Survivor: Redemption Island were filmed.[1] Filming began June 2, 2014, and was completed on July 10. After filming wrapped, it was confirmed that the two upcoming seasons will have an all-new cast.[2][3]

Originally, the season was set to have a 20-player cast. However, 48 hours prior to the start of filming, a member of a pair of sisters failed one of the final medical examination. Unable to find a replacement pair of the same gender composition in time, production was forced to start the game with the remaining nine pairs, despite this leaving an uneven 10:8 ratio in favor of the men.[4] The healthier of the sisters, So Kim, was brought back for the next season. A similar case occurred back in Survivor: Fiji, where Mellisa McNulty was pulled from the game due to last-minute panic attacks.[5] Former contestant and Survivor After Show host Parvati Shallow went to the production site as part of the press who conducted interviews to the contestants and wrote an online journal about her experience.[6]

In an interview with Dalton Ross from Entertainment Weekly after the Cagayan finale, Jeff Probst initially stated that Redemption Island was slated to be in play. However, after the interview, last minute changes were discussed by Jeff and the production crew to further innovate the upcoming season. In a more recent interview with Ross for EW Morning Live, which was held live on set, Probst revealed that they decided to shelve Redemption Island, which potentially misled the contestants, who were yet to be flown on location and listened to the prior interview. The set that was supposed to be the Redemption Island Arena would be rehashed for Exile Island, a twist long-unused since...
