We start tonight’s episode off with a look at Dean and Chelsea snuggling up and becoming closer and closer. Missy and Aaron are talking about how they might need to get rid of Dean if they end up at the next Tribal Council. They also talk about how Karishma will go with whatever they want her to just to make sure that she isn’t their target.

Meanwhile, on Vokai, Jamal has a gut feeling that he might need to start looking for an idol and while his tribemates are enjoying the beach and swimming, he goes to look for one. He’s having a hard time being left out of things like last week’s vote to get Molly out. Sure enough, Jamal finds a Hidden Immunity Idol tucked away in a tree.

Vokai now gets a note that they have to send one of their tribemates and it has to be a unanimous decision. They ask if anyone wants to go and Noura volunteers herself. She gets there and she is excited to meet Boston Rob and Sandra and Rob offers her watermelon and she is so excited. Rob fills her in while she enjoys her watermelon. Rob tells her that her lesson is going to be on the power of persuasion.

Rob tells her the different ways to persuade people. Rob tells Noura that he has some insight on the Immunity Challenge and tells her to listen up. He tells her that in the next challenge, the castaways will be blindfolded and one person will be the “caller.” He tells her that if she can persuade her tribemates to put her in the “caller” spot, she will be able to block one vote at the next Tribal Council, but if she doesn’t then she will lose her vote. She jumps at the opportunity and Rob tells us that she is the last person anyone should want in the ‘caller” position because she can’t relay information coherently to anyone.

Noura is telling her tribe that in order for her to be able to give them the information on the challenge that they have to agree to give her the position that she wants. They agreed and she told them. She tells them that in this challenge she would be the “caller” but everyone is wondering why she should be the caller. Kellee couldn’t be happier about this lie that Noura has concocted because she knows that she can’t go back and tell anyone what the Island of the Idols really is.

Meanwhile, Vokai does a trial run of Noura as a “caller” and she is failing miserably. This is not going to go well for her at all!

It is time for the Immunity Challenge, the caller will have to guide their blindfolded tribemates through an obstacle course to get three keys. They will then have to call out how to put together a puzzle that the keys unlock. Vokai has an extra person so someone has to sit out and they sit Noura out. It looks like she lost her vote at the next Tribal Council.

Jason is the caller for Vokai and Elizabeth is the caller for Lairo. Vokai takes a huge lead during this challenge and they get all their keys and start their puzzle before Lairo even gets their keys. Jason is very calmly telling Kellee how to put the puzzle together and Elizabeth gets her tribe to the puzzle. Elizabeth and Lairo get all their pieces in the puzzle, but a couple of pieces were wrong so they had to fix that. While they were fixing their puzzle, Vokai placed their final piece.

Elizabeth apologizes to her tribe, but they tell her that she did a great job and that they put her in that position. Karishma knows that she is the target, but plans to go out swinging and tells Chelsea this. Chelsea knows that Karishma doesn’t have an idol because she does, but Aaron tells Elizabeth that he really wants Dean out and Missy is on board with this idea. However, Elizabeth doesn’t think that Karishma should stay over Dean who has actually been helping out around camp while Karishma takes a nap. Elizabeth doesn’t think that Dean going is a good move for her.

Elizabeth goes to Elaine about Aaron’s plan and how he is a sneaky bastard. Elizabeth goes to Aaron and tells her that Elaine is not on board with the plan to vote out Dean. She tells Missy the same thing and she goes to talk to Elaine. Missy tells Elaine that maybe if they can’t get rid of Dean, then Chelsea should maybe go because pairs need to be split up. However, Elaine isn’t on board with that either and make sure that Elizabeth knows that Chelsea’s name is being thrown around too. Chelsea has an idol though.

It is time for this week’s Tribal Council! They talk about how Karishma is still feeling on the outside and is pretty worried about being the one going this week. After all the talks, it really could be anyone going this week. Chelsea did not play her idol. It’s time for the votes to be revealed and here is how they fell:

  • Karishma
  • Karishma
  • Chelsea
  • Chelsea
  • Chelsea
  • Chelsea
  • Chelsea

With five votes, Chelsea is voted out with an idol in her pocket!
