The rice went in the fire. The whole pot. The Brains were the brainy tribe and they kept losing, kept turning on each other instead of pulling together, and J'Tia Taylor — a nuclear engineer, no less — knew she was dead last on the totem with zero numbers to save her. So she dumped the tribe's entire food supply into the flames out of pure spite, torching her own camp's rice for exactly nothing, because the vote was coming for her no matter what she did. The Brains snuffed her fifteenth, leaving Spencer and Tasha to pick through the ashes she made. It remains one of the all-time pre-merge self-detonations, and the cruel joke is that the smartest tribe's smartest member lit the match herself.
