## Story

### Night 14

The Phayao returns to camp after tribal council, Daughtry is confused with Novak after the vote. Daughtry talks with Novak about not telling him the plan was to vote Jelia. Novak tells Daughtry that he didn't want to make him choose because he knows how much he valued his relationship with Jelia.

### Day 15

The contestants arrived to the beach under the impression that they were able to participate in their next immunity challenge. The contestants was asked to stand on a disk of their choosing. When everyone was on a disk they were asked to flip over the disks one-by-one. Underneath each disk was a buff. Whoever uncovered a orange buff was placed on Kalasin and whoever uncovered a purple buff was placed on Phayao. Everyone was surprised to see a second tribe swap. After the tribe switch, the new tribes were as follows:

The new tribes are put to the test again as they compete match-up style in bowling. For the first match-up Bree vs. Daughtry in which Bree knocked down 8 pins over Daughtry's three giving the win for Kalasin. In the second round, Rico scored a second point for Kalasin in a 5-3 point round against Freya. Tati scored for Phayao when she beat Eleos in a 6-4 round. Darion earned Kalasin's third point when he beat Novak after a tie of 10-10 then 9-3 round. Helen earned the final point for Kalasin after she beat Espen in a 10-8 round. Kalasin won an all-you-can-eat feast courtesy of Outback Steakhouse. Kalasin would be delivered their meal at camp, and Phayao left to their camp with nothing.

A upset Phayao returns to camp, and through their upset, they greet themselves. Afterwards, they decide to get their own food, and they spread out through the camp.

Alessia and Novak find themselves walking in the woods together. Alessia tells Novak how much she still wants to work together. Novak says the same back to Alessia. Novak questions why they haven't made it official. Novak properly asks Alessia to be in a final two with him. Alessia accepts.

Alessia and Novak hug and make it official. Alessia jokes about him asking was like being asked to be his girlfriend. Alessia and Novak make their way to the beach where the two sit in the ocean together talking and laughing with each other.

Alessia playfully splashes Novak with water which causes a whole war between the both of them. They both end up laughing and tired, so they both get out of the water and head to the shelter.

On Kalasin Tribe, the tribe celebrates and cheers as they reach their beach and see their reward from the challenge waiting for them. Everyone takes a seat at the table placed with the feast on top. Before they start eating, they go around in a circle introducing themselves.

People start to scatter around the island after their feast. Bree and Serene are seen laying in shelter trying to whisper to each other about staying Phayao strong. Bree likes the idea of staying strong, and Serene tells Bree that it might be best for the both of them.

Serene and Bree both promise to protect each other, they both pinky swear to each other. They laugh and giggle in the shelter together.

### Day 16

On Phayao, Bree and Darion are spending their time around camp. Darion is chopping open coconuts and handing them to members of his tribe. Bree stands back and watches in amazement. Darion asks Bree if she wants to try, but Bree refuses. Bree confesses that she has never used a machete before. Darion tells her that she will help him.

Bree shyly walks over to the machete. Darion instructs Bree how to hold the machete, the coconut and how to hit the coconut. Darion lets Bree try on her. Bree slams the machete into the coconut and opens it. Bree grins wide while Darion congratulates her. The tribe starts clapping at Bree's accomplishment.

### Day 17

The next day, the tribes met for the Immunity Challenge, Shoulder the Load. Three members of each tribe (two men, one woman) would bear the weight of sandbags that could be strategically distributed by the other tribe, with the last person still standing winning immunity for their tribe. Foley, Helen and Rico represented Kalasin, whilst Daughtry, Freya and Novak bore the weight for Phayao. Both tribes adopted similar strategies early on, distributing the weight against one person. Novak was the first person to drop out of the challenge when he lost his balance, at which point he had been holding 20 pounds. As the next round of sandbags were added, Freya could bear to hold the bags and dropped, at 80 pounds. Leaving three load-bearers for Kalasin and Daughtry holding on for Phayao. Despite holding the record of 100 pounds, Foley outlasted Daughtry who was only holding 60 pounds. All members of Kalasin held their end in the challenge earning Kalasin an immunity win, and sending Phayao to tribal council.

As the defeated Phayao tribe returned to camp, Novak is worried that his head could be on the chopping block and immediately tries to walk with Daughtry to mend fences.

Novak asks Daughtry what he is thinking about the vote tonight. Daughtry jokes around with Novak saying it won't matter he'll get blindsided again. Novak tells Daughtry that was the only time that he will do that.

Daughtry gives a real answer and throws out Nasir's name out. Novak questions the decision and asks Daughtry what he thinks about Tati. Daughtry remains firm on Nasir, and tells Novak that voting with him would rebuild any broken trust left. Novak tells Daughtry that he will try to get Alessia on board.

Daughtry and Novak approaches Alessia, Freya and Espen in the woods together. Novak openly asks the three of them if they would consider voting out Nasir at tribal council. Espen is taken back by Nasir's name being dropped.

Espen says that Nasir has helped in challenges, so he would be valuable to keep around. Alessia questions whether they should vote out Tati then. Daughtry tells them that they should just stick with Nasir because with the merge coming up he has no idea where his loyalty lies. Espen tells the group that they should separate so it's not suspicious. Espen leaves the group and finds Nasir and Tati. He informs the three of them that they are considering voting the both of them. Nasir and Tati question Alessia's loyalty. Espen says that he will talk to her before tribal.

Alessia finally walks away from the Kalasin group, and she's confronted by her original tribe and alliance about what she's actually doing tonight. Espen, Nasir and Tati say that they should just vote out Freya. Alessia tells her original tribe that she will vote with them, and that they shouldn't be worried.

At Tribal Council, the tribe dynamics are pointed out immediately: 3 original kalasin, and 4 phayao members. Alessia is asked if the first tribe swap mattered because she's the only original phayao member to be on a tribe with the original kalasin member. Alessia answers simply that being on a tribe with Kalasin has given her more a chance to know the members more. Alessia brings up that she has spent the same amount of time with everyone at tribal. Espen is questioned about losing two challenges which Espen responds saying that losing sucks, so his objective tonight is to not only keep Phayao strong, but keep the tribe strong. Freya is asked if she's worried about the vote tonight, which she responds saying she's worried, but a lot has happened at camp and how she has tried to shake up the game. She makes a statement saying *"At Noon, We Stir the Pot." With that, the tribe cast their votes.*
In the end, Alessia decided to betray her former tribe and alliance to work with a group she trusts and likes. Alessia's vote cost Nasir the game when he was voted off in a 4-3 vote against Freya.
