Ahead of the first challenge, Bravolebrities Ryan, Brandi, and Kate formed an alliance with the latter, confessing to being good at the game. Meanwhile, Rachel insinuated that Cody was a traitor as she knew him well enough to figure it out. The two teams of reality personalities and civilians eventually added $30K to the prize pot in their challenge.
That night, the traitors gathered and revealed their identities to each other. They now had to eliminate one of the faithfuls. They decided to break off the Bravo alliance and eliminated Reza. While at breakfast the other day, the remaining faithfuls found out about the Shahs of Sunset member's exit from the competition.
For the next challenge, contestants Bam, Shelbe, Amanda, Arie, Stephanie, and Kyle were buried alive.

The latter group had to guide them through the challenge and into finding clues and saving them to earn the cash prize.
Throughout the challenge, Michael thought fellow contestant Geraldine was a traitor. However, Kate and Kyle felt that Michael was a traitor, considering he was only trying to vote out Geraldine instead of playing the game. Rachel correctly suspects Cirie and Cody as the traitors, however, chose to go with the group judgment. Geraldine received the maximum votes but revealed she was a part of the faithfuls, shocking everyone.
