## Story

### Night 24

The tribe comes back to camp talking about the Hidden Immunity Idol Daughtry played, saving him from going home. Some of the tribe congratulate Daughtry on his move while others are hurt from the vote.

Daughtry and Novak walk off together and start celebrating together after getting another day out here.

Bree finally confronts Daughtry about his comments made during tribal council. Daughtry tells Bree that it was just gameplay, but Bree feels as though Daughtry made it a personal attack. Daughtry tells Bree that he's on the bottom, and he needs to do whatever he can to stay. An annoyed Bree walks away.

### Day 25

The tribe goes to the Reward Challenge and they are divided in teams of five. The purple team of Bree, Daughtry, Darion, Eleos and Foley win reward! The five of them will go to a luxury resort where they will eat dinner and stay the night. They will return the following day. The five of them must decide who they will send to Exile Island. Not wanting to send someone new to Exile Island or someone they feel close with they choose Novak to go to Exile Island.

The five players are flown in from a helicopter to the resort. The helicopter lands on the dock and are greeted by Thai natives.

One of the Thai natives hands the five of them drinks. They continue walking until they reach the beautiful resort and swimming pool area. They look around and finally find the meal. They all sit down at the table and begin eating.

The group continues to eat and talk to each other with the exception of Daughtry who is mostly eating his food.

On Exile Island, Novak stands in front of the urns contemplating which urn he should choose.

Novak crosses his fingers and kisses it before choosing Urn 1. He opens the urn and reveals the clue to the key that unlocks the hidden immunity idol.

### Day 26

The five return from their reward in the morning. The other four greet them at the camp while they're sitting around cooking rice for each other. The four ask how their reward went, and the five begin to tell their experience to them.

A boat motor grows louder as it reaches the shore. Novak hops out of the boat. Everyone greets Novak, but Novak takes the spotlight off of him who asks about the reward.

Later in the day, Bree and Freya are laying in the sun together along the shore. Freya decides to open up to Bree about her life journey.

Alessia and Eleos find alone time together while they're walking along the beach. Alessia tells Eleos that she feels like he is true to his word, and she feels like she can trust him all the way to the end. Eleos tells Alessia that he feels the exact same way. Eleos asks Alessia if she would like to form a final two alliance and promise to protect each other. Alessia agrees and they shake on it.

As the sun goes down, Bree decides to pull Alessia aways from everyone else.

Bree tells Alessia that Novak has been scrambling and trying to get everyone to work with him. Bree warns Alessia that Novak might be using her to get farther in the game. Alessia thanks Bree for warning her.

### Day 27

The following day at the Immunity Challenge, the Immunity Necklace is taken back from Bree. The challenge: Keep On Your Toes. Each contestant would balance on their toes on a narrow platform, wedging a block between their head and a frame above them. If the block dropped, that person would be eliminated. The last person standing would win Immunity.

Almost immediately after the challenge began, Rico dropped out. He was followed by Alessia, Daughtry, Eleos, Helen, Bree, and Darion. Leaving Foley, Freya and Novak remaining in the competition. After time passes, Freya drops out of the competition leading Foley vs. Novak. In the end, Novak was second best again leading to Foley's first individual immunity win.

Back at camp, the tribe congratulates Foley on winning the immunity challenge. Already feeling in trouble, Daughtry and Novak head off into the woods. Daughtry asks Novak if he found the clue, and Novak plays it off cool before pulling the clue out of his underwear. Daughtry and Novak fist bump and cheer each other up. Novak suggests that they spread out around the island to try to find it.

Daughtry and Novak spread out across the island searching for the hidden immunity idol.

Meanwhile, Foley takes advantage of the game shifting. Foley suggests to Alessia, Eleos and Rico that they form a core alliance within their original Phayao. Everyone agrees. They are undecided on who to vote. Foley asks the question on whether they should take a chance on voting Daughtry, switch it up and vote Novak, or possibly split the vote. Alessia in attempt to save both of them throws out Darion's name, but is quickly thrown aside. The group decides that Daughtry having two idols would be absurd, and they wouldn't expect them to vote him again.

Back with Daughtry and Novak who meet up in the spot they said they were going to. Novak asks Daughtry if he found the key, but he replies with No. Daughtry says that if he didn't find it and Novak didn't find it then it's over. Novak burts into laughter as he pulls the key out from his back pocket. Novak makes a remark saying "at least it wasn't the underwear this time." Daughtry playfully hits Novak on the arm. Novak hands over the key to Daughtry. Novak tells him that they have to use it correctly. Daughtry tells Novak that they could both play the idol, but Novak tells Daughtry he doesn't want to if he doesn't have to. Daughtry understands and also debate who they should vote out of the game. Novak tells Daughtry that they should get out another Phayao member. Daughtry agrees.

The tribes grabs their torches and heads off to tribal council.

At tribal council, Daughtry is asked about his idol play having an effect on the vote tonight. Daughtry says that the idol play made him an even bigger target, but he wanted to stay in the game, so he had no choice. Rico was questioned about being in the top tier of Phayao, but Rico simply says he wants "tribe unity." Bree was also questioned about being labeled as a higher class. Bree is confused by Daughtry's comment because he doesn't feel like he is. Novak is asked about whether he feels worried that they might try to switch the vote up onto him. Novak says he was nervous, but he has heard that he has nothing to be worried about tonight. Helen is asked if she's included in any plans for tonight. She responds by saying she has heard things back from some of her old tribe members and close friends, but she doesn't know who to really trust. With that the voting commenced. The votes were tallied and idols were called for. Everyone stares at Daughtry who gives everyone a big grin as he stands up with the idol in his hand. Rico stares at Eleos and Foley with a "I told you" look. Daughtry plays his hidden immunity idol for himself.
The votes are read and seven votes were cast against Daughtry rather than eight. With three votes left, the rest of the votes were cast for Bree. Bree rolls her eyes and still tells Daughtry and Novak that she didn't have as much power as they thought. Bree's torch was snuffed and she became the 11th person voted out and the second member of the jury.
