## Story

### Night 29

The tribe returns from their third consecutive blindsiding tribal council. Rico applauds Daughtry and Novak for finding the hidden immunity idols.

Alessia, Daughtry, Freya and Novak head off as a group to celebrate the successful tribal. Novak says that the four of them need to stop messing around and stick together or else they'll be picked off one by one. Everyone agrees.

While the four of them are off in their groups, Eleos, Foley and Rico meet up and discuss the plan for the next tribal council. Rico appreciates that the three of them are still there. Eleos and Foley worry that they will find another idol and use it to save themselves. Rico puts their doubts to ease when he tells them that he has the merge hidden immunity idol. Rico doesn't want to make it super obvious, so he suggests that they send one of them to Exile Island.

### Day 30

At the Reward Challenge, The tribe was welcomed in and the challenge was revealed to be Rove, Rove, Rove Your Boat. In teams of four, the contestants would navigate a boat out around a buoy, and on the way back, collect eight paddles tied to floating crates. Two members of the team would then use those paddles to solve a word-scramble. The first team to solve the phrase would win the challenge and a trip to a temple, complete with a barbecue lunch. The teams were randomly divided: the Orange Team (Alessia, Eleos, Foley and Daughtry) and the Purple Team (Darion, Foley, Novak and Rico). In the end, Alessia, Eleos, Foley and Daughtry were the winners and decided to send Novak to Exile Island. Novak headed off to Exile Island while the winners headed off to their reward, whilst the losing Purple Team returned to camp.

At the Reward, the winners of the challenge were led into the temple by a tour guide. They marveled at the beauty of the temple.

After seeing the beauty of the temple, they smelled the barbecue meal awaiting them inside and ran to eat. Quickly, however, the conversation turned to strategy as Daughtry tried to find any cracks within the majority. Eleos hadn't given much thought about turning on the four back at camp. Foley was a little more receptive to the idea.

On Exile Island, Novak stands in front of the two urns, presented with the same two choices.

Novak chooses Urn 2 and opens the urn. He reveals a note which he easily takes the easy route to find the Hidden Immunity Idol.

Back at camp, Freya and Rico sat and chatted around camp while Darion collects wood to start a fire for the tribe when they return for camp.

The four return from their reward and tell their experience about the reward challenge. Shortly after, the seven on the island spread out to start talking game. Daughtry and Foley walk around the shore with Daughtry hoping to get any information out of him. Daughtry asks Foley if there was any chance that he would go after Freya instead of him. Foley tells Daughtry he doesn't think Freya is a threat. He mentions Alessia's name to go. Daughtry questions the target, but says if it will save him then he has no choice.

Darion finds Daughtry and Foley walking on the beach and joins them. He thinks that the three of them plus Novak should stick together for a vote. Foley is a little shocked, but plays along with it. He mentions Alessia being the target. Darion doesn't disagree. Daughtry says whatever gives them a majority.

### Day 31

At the Immunity Challenge, Jeff took back the Immunity Necklace from Spencer, and then revealed the challenge: Living Color. In a memory challenge, the contestants would be shown a sequence of colored tiles, and would have to repeat the sequence back. An incorrect answer would expel them from the challenge until only one remained, who would win Immunity.

The first sequence was: Yellow, Blue, Red, Green. All contestants correctly answered the first tile, but on the second tile, Rico incorrectly answered Red, eliminating him from the challenge. Darion followed him on the next tile where he incorrectly answered Green. The remaining six contestants correctly finished the sequence.

The second sequence was: Red, Green, Purple, Black, Blue, Green, Blue. All seven castaways correctly answered the first five tiles. However, on the sixth tile, Freya and Novak answered Yellow, eliminating them from the challenge. This left four: Alessia, Daughtry, Eleos and Foley. For the last color of the sequence, Alessia and Foley answered blue while Daughtry and Eleos answered red, but the answer was blue, meaning that Daughtry and Eleos were both eliminated from the competition.

The third sequence was: Purple, Black, Green, Red, Blue, Black, Purple, Green. Alessia and Foley both answered the first four tiles correctly, but on the fifth tile Alessia answered blue and Foley answered black. The correct answer was blue meaning that Alessia won her second individual immunity!

Back at camp, the original Phayao tribe came together and agreed that Daughtry would be the next person to go. The alliance questioned whether they should split the votes in case of an alliance, but Rico advised that they shouldn't.

Alessia and Rico separate from the rest of the group and talk about the plan to vote Daughtry out of the game and following the boot list. Alessia tells Rico that she really doesn't trust Darion and would like him to go before Freya and Novak. Rico says that he could possibly make it happen. Alessia says she's down with the vote for tonight.

Meanwhile, Freya is talking with Darion and Foley and now Rico who has walked over to join their conversation. Freya suggests that the four of them work together to make it to the top four. The others won't see it coming. Darion and Foley jump at the opportunity, but Rico is a little hesitant.

Meanwhile, Daughtry is talking with Eleos and Novak trying to form some sort of vote pact for tonight's tribal council. Rico stumbles into the conversation. Daughtry tells the group that they should vote for Freya tonight. Eleos and Rico just listen into the conversation.

Before tribal, Novak tries to convince Daughtry to go after Eleos, but he refuses to target someone who could help him.

Everyone grabs their torches and get ready to head to tribal council.

At Tribal Council, the jury was welcomed in: Serene, Bree and Helen. Daughtry's immunity run has seemed to come to an end. Daughtry is asked if he is in for another surprised tonight. Daughtry says that you never know that this game changes constantly. Alessia is asked if she needed to win tonight, and Alessia says no, but she looks pretty in it. They are asked if the vote is clear tonight as it has been in the past tribals. Rico just answers by saying yes.

The players head up to vote. After all the votes are cast and tallied. The players are asked if anyone would like to play a hidden immunity idol. Everyone looks at Daughtry and Novak, who for once, don't move at all. The votes are read, and Daughtry's name is brought up. With one vote for Freya, but the rest of the votes are for Daughtry. Daughtry becomes the 13th person voted out and the 4th member of the jury. Novak fist bumps Daughtry before he grabs his torch and puts it in the slot. His torch is snuff, and he walks off to the jury.
