Both Phillip and CK expressed their intentions to eliminate Parvati should they win their confrontations against the banker. However, in a surprising twist, David opted to eliminate Phillip, aiming to safeguard Parvati, his closest ally, from being sent home. Parvati, seeking autonomy, urged David to permit her to face the banker directly.

Overview of the Episode’s Challenge
Hosted by Joe Manganiello, the challenge in this episode featured a single money bag suspended by five ropes, with each player required to hold onto a rope.
