## Story

### Day 8

Kalasin and Phayao both walk onto the beach where they saw Malany had been voted out. Once, both tribes stood on their mats, they were asked to drop their buffs. They were surprised considering the odd even numbered of players left.

The castaways were asked to choose one rock from a bag. One player from both tribes would become the leader by drawing a purple rock. They would alternate between choosing one player from the opposing tribe then their original tribe until both tribes were even at 8. Alessia and Darion both drew the purple rock.

They alternated picking their tribes until they each had 8 members each. Foley was not chosen and was sent to Exile Island alone.

Once Foley has gotten onto the boat, the new tribes were put to the test in their first reward challenge as new tribes. They competed in "Water Slaughter" with the first matchup being Darion and Rico for Kalasin vs. Freya and Jelia for Phayao. In a shocking round, the ladies were able to score for Phayao, earning them one point. The second match-up was Espen and Nasir for Kalasin vs. Alessia and Daughtry for Phayao which led to Phayao earning their second point. Phayao needed only one more point. In the third match-up was a battle between Allan and Helen for Kalasin vs. Novak and Serene for Phayao. Novak and Serene prevailed and won reward for the new Phayao tribe. Phayao received a reward of a herb garden, salt, oil, and chili sauce. Kalasin left the beach empty-handed.

At the Kalasin camp, the new tribes greet each other, some of the old Phayao members notice that the tribe isn't as great as the Phayao camp.

Nasir asks the old Kalasin tribe where the actual camp is located, and in response he gets an awkward silence and some irritated faces.

Kaiti walks up to the Espen, Rico, and Tati who are sitting around camp socializing.

Kaiti tells the three Phayao members that Nasir tried to get in good with the Kalasin members, so if they were to lose a challenge he would be off their radar. Kaiti warns them of Nasir.

Kaiti and Rico are walking up to the well to refill their water canteen. Kaiti asks Rico where his mind is after the swap. Rico gives an honest answer of saying that he's open to anything.

On the Phayao tribe, everyone greets each other, and the old Kalasin is amazed by the set up of Phayao tribe.

Having the opportunity to be alone with Bree and Novak, Daughtry asks Bree what are the chances that she'd be willing to work with the two of them. Bree says she's always keeping her options open.

Jelia approaches Eleos about possibly working with Daughtry and Novak in a four person alliance. Eleos says that he wouldn't mind working with the three of them. Eleos tells him to meet back up with him near a future tribal they might attend.

Foley stands in front of the two urns and the sign that reads for him to choose between one of the two urns.

Foley chooses Urn 2, but when he opens the urn it reveals nothing inside.

### Day 10

The tribes arrive at their next Immunity Challenge and explained the mechanics of the challenge. In the challenge, Phayao ends up winning the challenge sending Kalasin to tribal council. Phayao heads back to camp, but before Kalasin goes back to camp, they are told that whoever gets voted out tonight will be replaced by Foley.

The Kalasin tribe returns back to camp after their loss with eight members awkwardly standing around camp.

Rico confronts Allan in front of everyone about hearing that he threw his name out to target.

Allan declines all of the accusations that Rico has made against him. Allan gets up and walks away from the camp. The entire tribe excluding Darion and Tati follow Allan and comfort him. Allan sits on the beach with the Espen, Helen, Kaiti & Nasir and tells them that he wasn't going after Rico, but now he is.

Espen, Nasir and Tati meet up before tribal questioning who they should vote out of the game tonight. Tati throws out Rico's name, and if they should vote for him tonight. The other two feel hesitant, and then throw out Kaiti's name. Espen and Nasir don't want to lose the numbers, and state that if they vote out a Kalasin then Foley will join them. They bring up then they will have a five person majority.

Rico meets up with Nasir telling him that he thinks Allan going tonight would be the best move for the tribe. Nasir questions that vote, and tells Rico that Allan is good in challenges. The two are both torn on who to vote.

Rico meets up with Darion and Helen. Rico asks the two of them if they're willing to work with him to vote out Allan tonight. Darion immediately agrees and brings up their past from the old Kalasin tribe. Helen is a little hesitant. Rico also mentions that the old Phayao tribe will try to vote for Kaiti. Helen says that she will let Kaiti know.

Espen and Nasir both let Tati know that they are leaning towards voting Kaiti out of the game. Tati is clearly annoyed by the decision. The tribe gets ready to leave for tribal council.

At Tribal Council, they were asked about how the swap affected the tribe. Rico answers by saying that the tribe seemed divided at first, but after a while their guards went down and it's more of a mixed tribe. They discuss the challenge performance and if that will weigh tonight's vote. Allan says that challenge performance has nothing to do with the vote, but he says based on what happened at camp. They were asked about what happened at camp life. Rico admits that he heard Allan coming for him, which Allan says he didn't. Espen says that he wants to get rid of someone who hasn't been good for him game. They narrowed the vote down to either Allan or Kaiti.
In the end, Rico's plan to save Kaiti prevailed when Tati flipped in Kaiti's favor to send home Allan in a 5-3 vote, leaving Espen and Nasir blindsided. They were informed that Foley would join their tribe in the morning.
