==Story==
===Day 27 (Night)===
The final seven return to camp having just experienced their first tribal council after the merge, in which Ricardo became the second member of the jury. Kanda and Karen look around at the others, knowing that Phillip flipped to join Chuay Gahn, leaving the pair in the minority.
Several conversations begin to take place, all straying away from the topic of the tribal council vote, not wanting to spend too long dwelling on an event that will likely cause arguments. 
===Day 28===
Salma and Karen spend the morning checking the tribes fishing nets, noticing that they remain empty, and have done since the tide has risen and made it more difficult for the group to catch fish. 
Back at the caves, the others sit around waiting for their next reward challenge, hoping to win some sort of food in order to fix the hunger sweeping over the tribe. Julius seems distant during the conversation, with his mind still on the last tribal council.
===Reward===
Upon reaching the challenge, Jeff informs the players that they will be taking part in a challenge that requires them to work together in order to win. The rules are explained, with the group realising that as soon as the challenge begins, the individual who fails to pair up will automatically be eliminated, and that the two quickest pairs to move themselves successfully across the wooden planks will move onto the next stage of the challenge. The remaining four will then race under a course, with the three fastest moving onto a wall in which two must work together to get over. The final two will then race one another, with the first to get across a balance beam earning themselves a trip to mainland Thailand where they will enjoy an elephant trek and a large feast. 
On Jeff's "go", the group rush to pair up and get going on the wooden plank course, with the pairs predictably being Aaron & Phillip, Julius & Vince and Kanda & Karen, leaving Salma as the automatic elimination in the challenge. Kanda and Karen make quick work of the course, having good balance, with their smaller physiques allowing them to pass from post to post more easily than their competition. The two male pairs struggle, with Phillip often falling off the planks, causing his pair to fall behind and ultimately fail to cross the first section of the course, eliminating them from the challenge. The final four of Julius, Kanda, Karen and Vince then take part in the belly crawl under the bamboo course, which both boys complete first due to their speed, with Kanda finishing close behind, leaving Karen struggling in the middle of the course. Unsurprising, the two boys work together to get over the wall, completely ignoring Kanda as she stands next to them, knowing she isn't someone the tribe would welcome winning the reward. During the final section of the challenge, Vince proves to be the better at moving with speed, finishing the challenge and winning himself the reward. The tribe congratulate Vince, who is then given the task of bringing one other person along with him.
Challenge: Knock-Out
Competing in pairs, the Survivors would have to race in a four-stage obstacle course. Each stage was designed to eliminate players. In the first stage, the castaways had to pair up, with the remaining player instantly eliminated. Then the pairs had to negotiate their way across towers using two wooden planks to bridge the gaps. The first two pairs to successfully make it across would move on to the next stage, a belly crawl under a bamboo course. The first three Survivors to finish the belly crawl would move on to the third stage, a wall climb in which they had to use the aid of another competitor to help each other over. First two to climb over the wall would move on to the final stage, a race along a bamboo balance beam. First person to complete the balance beam and cross the finish line would win.
Reward: A trip to the mainland for an elephant trek through the Thai jungle, along with an authentic Thai lunch.
Winner: Vince (shared with Julius)

===Chuay Jai===
The group return to camp, some feeling bitter about the challenge, particularly Salma, who noted that when it came to pairing up, she was left alone. 
Kanda also seems annoyed by the result, feeling that Julius and Vince ignoring her at the wall portion of the challenge showed a weakness in their own games. The three girls end up together by the fire, discussing their annoyance at some of the results.
The three girls laugh by the fire, all somewhat excited at the prospect that Julius or Vince may be voted out at the next tribal council, viewing it as a fitting event to repay them for what the others see as a disregard to the others around camp. Off checking the nets, the men of the tribe discuss the reward, feeling it'll be a nice break of the game for Julius and Vince. 
===Day 29===
The group get up in order to see both Julius and Vince off on their reward, not wanting to put negative impressions on them before they leave for the day. They see a boat approaching to pick the boys up, all gathering as it draws closer to the beach.
Julius and Vince climb aboard the boat waving goodbye to their tribe mates as they go off for their reward, leaving five individuals envious back at camp.
===Reward===
The pair head off for their reward, eager to put their minds at ease in order to enjoy the day, but somewhat cautious that their leave may entice others to plot against them. They arrive at the helicopter that will fly them to the mainland, with the ride quickly distracting them from the paranoia of the game.
Eventually the private bus pulls up to a small area of the jungle, with both the men being ushered out towards an elephant and guide, waiting for them to begin the jungle trek.
The duo get on the elephant, sitting on the seat places on its back, before heading off along the path for their jungle trek towards the feast. Both men laugh constantly throughout the journey, whilst also enjoying the beauty of the landscape around them. Julius admits he isn't a huge animal person due to their "unreliability", which Vince jokes can be extended to "half the people back at camp". They finally reach their destination, sitting around a small table where they are brought an array of authentic Thai dishes.
===Chuay Jai===
Back at camp, the others get on with chores around camp, with Aaron and Salma going off to collect water for the tribe. The other three ex-Sook Jai members sit around the fire, not saying much until Phillip proposes that they eat the last remaining chicken.
Later on in the day, the five sit around the cave, with the girls sitting close together to discuss Phillip's actions that took place earlier.
At sundown, the boat bringing Julius and Vince back to camp arrives on Chuay Jai's beach. The two men walk through the shallow water to their tribe members who greet them upon their return. The two men reveal that they have brought back a small pot of shrimp soup for the entire tribe, much to everyone's delight.
Karen and Kanda are picked to reheat the food for the five that stayed behind, giving both Julius and Vince a chance to carry out their plan of giving 'individual' food/drink for those they want to keep within their alliance, attempting to win it through bribery. Vince gets Salma to help him with his things, at which point he quietly passes her a flask with some beer, telling her that he snuck it back specifically for her.
Simultaneously, Aaron and Phillip are pulled aside by Julius, who takes the boys for a walk down the beach, where he presents them with dumplings taken from the reward. He tells both boys that they are just for them, and that the girls can't know as it will "remind them that they are the next three to go". 
The group sit down to enjoy the meal brought back by Julius and Vince, who abstain from eating any more, feeling as though it would be unwise to do so given the soup was meant for the five that didn't go on the reward.
===Day 30===
After a day of waiting around, the group eventually receive tree mail informing them that they must head to their next individual immunity challenge, knowing that it will take place in the evening, giving them very little time to strategize once the challenge is over.
The tribe arrive at the next immunity challenge, being told that it will involve the group answering questions on Thailand and its culture, with those answering questions correctly being given the right to snuff another's players torch.
For the first question, all seven get the question right, giving them each the chance to snuff someone else's torch. Karen goes first, snuffing one of Phillip's three torches, causing him to laugh and promise payback. Salma follows suit, also snuffing one of Phillip's torches, claiming it is "nothing personal".
Phillip decides to give payback to Salma, clearly more annoyed that she snuffed one of his torches than he is with Karen, having expected it from his consistent nemesis. Kanda is the next to snuff her first torch, deciding to knock Phillip out of the challenge.
Aaron snuffs one of Kanda's torches, whilst Vince snuffs Karen's second torch, leaving her with just one remaining. The second question is then asked, with everyone but Julius getting the question right. Karen snuffs one of Aaron's torches, which Salma also does, saying she is just trying to "share the love". Kanda then copies the other two girls, knocking Aaron out of the challenge, with Aaron using his final snuff to take a hit at Salma, much to both of their amusement.
The third round then takes place, with only Salma and Kanda getting the answers correct. Kanda tells Salma if she doesn't snuff her torch, she'll promise to do the same, which Salma swiftly agrees to. Salma does however snuff Karen's torch, knocking her out of the challenge, whilst Kanda concentrates on bringing Julius down to one torch remaining. 
After the fourth question, everyone but Kanda is shown to be right, causing her to look nervous, feeling as though she's about to be put out of the challenge. Salma and Julius follow through with their 'plan', snuffing two of Vince's three torches, whilst Vince decides to snuff one of Kanda's, bringing all their totals equally down to one. 
Only Kanda and Vince get the question correct, leading Kanda to request that Vince spare her torch and she'll spare his, instead recommending that they both take out Salma and Julius and then "battle it out" between themselves. Vince agrees, much to the concerns of his tribe members. Kanda walks over and snuffs Julius' torch, apologising as she does so, knocking him out of the challenge. 
After two questions where both answer correctly, Salma eventually answers one right whilst Vince gets it wrong, granting her immunity, much to her delight after being automatically eliminated in the last reward challenge. The group congratulate Salma, before heading back to camp in the dead of night, being told they have just thirty minutes to talk before they are needed at tribal council.
Challenge: Snuff It
This challenge tested the Survivors' knowledge of Thai culture, as each castaway had to answer a multiple-choice or true-or-false question. Each tribe member who answered a question correctly was permitted to snuff out a competitor's torch. The last Survivor left with a lit torch wins Immunity.
Winner: Salma

Upon reaching camp, the group find themselves packing their things, trying to quickly get ready for tribal council. Kanda and Karen panic due to the little time they have to try and turn the vote on Phillip, speaking with Salma quickly in order to try and solidify her vote so that she can convince the others to follow.
As time goes on, the group all line up ready to leave, with Salma spotted trying to whisper to Vince moments before setting off the tribal council. 
At tribal council, the group look over at newest jury member Ricardo, who seems in good spirits despite his recent elimination. Karen and Kanda speak about their position as outsiders in the tribe, feeling as though they would be the easy vote offs if the tribe want to play safe, eventually claiming that such a path would lead to certain individuals being easily picked off. Karen decides to illuminate what she's saying by claiming that both Julius and Vince will likely be ousted by the other three should they reach the final five, with Aaron and Phillip probably becoming the final two. Aaron and Phillip deny such an event would unfold, with the latter claiming that the girls are just looking for a way to shift attention off themselves, and that anyone would be unwise to help out underdogs, as "underdogs will always win". Jeff gives the group a final opportunity to speak, knowing that they had little chance to do so after the challenge. Kanda and Karen individually give a plea to vote out Phillip, feeling his disloyalty has been shown, and that eventually he will be utilised to end some of their games should they allow him to stick around. Phillip is given the chance to respond, simply saying that his vote remains with Chuay Gahn, and that he will not write any of their names down until both Karen and Kanda have left the game. After the vote, Karen looks over at Salma, Julius and Vince, trying to read their facial expressions to work out if they've made the move against Phillip.
Kanda looks over at her friend, knowing that it will now either be her final moments in the game, or a blindside against Phillip, knowing the former is the more likely outcome.
Kanda nods before giving Karen a hug goodbye, as she grabs her torch, the Chuay Gahn members go to give her a reassuring touch, but she swiftly moves past them, clearly disappointed that none of them made the move against Phillip. Now alone in the tribe, Karen heads back to camp with the tribe, frightened that with Kanda's elimination there are no more potential shields to hide behind, and that her safety can only be found in immunity or the break up of the dominant alliance.
