We started this episode off with the loved ones visit! Lauren’s husband Matt, Tommy’s girlfriend Nicole, Karishma’s husband Drew, Noura’s sister Lana, Janet’s husband John, Dean’s mom Laurie, Dan’s son Ryan (who is the youngest person to ever be on Survivor at just 13 years old), and Elaine’s girlfriend Tanya.

For today’s reward challenge, the castaways will be tethered together in pairs and they will have to work together to get through an obstacle course and the castaways that win will get more time with their loved ones. Lana, Noura’s sister, is visually impaired. Jeff brings her closer to the beach so she can see her sister compete.

Tommy and Janet win this challenge by being the first pair to toss their beanbag onto a small platform. They are able to pick two people to go with them and they choose Dan and Lauren to go with them. Karishma is really upset, as is everyone else left standing on the beach. At the meal with their loved ones, they start talking about strategy. Everyone talks about Elaine being next, but then wonder if they should split the vote between Elaine and Karishma.

Back at camp, Noura is furious that she is clearly on the bottom of her alliance with the others because she didn’t get picked to go spend time with her sister. Noura goes on a rant and even offers to work with them to get someone out on the other side. Dean brings up how Lauren and Tommy are attached at the hip and they talk about voting Lauren out. They decide that they need to go out and look for an idol and while out searching, Elaine finds an idol!

It is time for the Immunity Challenge for tonight. The castaways are standing on one foot on a small block of wood. They will be stabilizing a small ball up against an overhanging piece of wood. The last castaway standing will win immunity! The first castaway to drop is Dean, second out is Tommy, Noura is out third. Janet is down, Karishma is down, Dan drops leaving Lauren and Elaine. In the end, Elaine falls giving Lauren immunity at tonight’s Tribal Council!

Back at camp, the castaways are talking about voting Karishma out. Janet goes to Noura with the vote plan and Noura tells Elaine that the plan is for the other side to do two and two. Elaine tells them that the four of them need to vote Tommy out since Lauren has Immunity. Dean is worried that Noura might be a loose cannon, but the other side is also worried that Noura isn’t with them which means that Karishma won’t be going home after all.

It is time for Tribal Council! Things blow up as soon as Dean whispered something to Tommy about them (Elaine, Karishma, and Dean) wanting Tommy out and then Noura tells them all that Elaine has an idol. Now, Noura is caught in a lie because Elaine, Karishma, and Dean told the other side she was going to vote Tommy out too. After everyone finally sits down, Jeff tells them all it’s time to vote!

Elaine plays her idol to be on the safe side. The votes are:

  • Karishma
  • Noura
  • Noura
  • Noura
  • Karishma
  • Karishma
  • Karishma
  • Karishma

With five votes, Karishma is the next member of the jury!
