We started tonight’s episode off with Nick finding out from Michelle and Tony that his name was mentioned with Adam’s name. Adam and Michelle talk later about how he saw a fleur-de-lis in Jeff’s podium, much like the one in Denise’s idol. He wonders if there is a live idol right in front of their faces at Tribal Council.

Meanwhile, on EOE, the castaways get a clue that says “as a winner and a fan, you step back and assess. Sometimes when history repeats, it can lead to success.” They all think that it has to do with the past clues, but then Danni and Amber realize that it might be about the past season. They remember when Aubrey last season stepped back and looked at the stairs and they did just that and found what they were looking for. It’s a coin that has safe and not safe on it, someone inside the game can use it to get safety. Amber and Danni think they should sell it to Michelle because she has the most fire tokens. They plan to use the fire tokens to buy food.

Back in the game, the castaways are competing in a reward challenge. The castaways are broken down into two teams, with on castaway sitting out. The winning team will win Chinese food. Denise ends up sitting out after a schoolhouse draw for teams. In the end, Sarah, Sophie, Ben, Kim, and Michelle win the reward of Chinese food. Sarah decides that she wants to give her reward to someone else. Jeff tells her she can do that and she gives it to Nick for his birthday.

Jeremy, Denise, and Adam think that Sarah is doing this as a strategic move, but Sarah was just trying to be kind to someone who just had a birthday and got blindsided at the last tribal council which happened to be on his birthday. Michelle finds the 50/50 coin advantage in her bag when she got back to camp. They are asking for four fire tokens for this advantage and she does end up buying it for all her fire tokens.

It is time for tonight’s Immunity Challenge! The castaways will be standing on triangular platforms in the water, with their feet on very narrow footholds. In even intervals, they will move up these platforms making it harder to balance. The last person standing will win immunity and a fire token. Michelle is first down and Denise is right behind her in round one. Jeremy was struggling, but lucky for him it was time to move so he was able to sit. Tyson falls at the start of the second round, Jeremy is down right after, Tony was down not too long after that. Going into the third round, we have Adam, Nick, Ben, Sophie, Sarah, and Kim. Nick, Sophie, Adam, and Sarah are down at the start of the third round leaving just Kim and Ben. Ben falls making Kim the winner of tonight’s Immunity Challenge.

Back at the beach, it looks like they are talking about splitting the vote between Nick and Adam. Then it was mentioned splitting the vote between Nick and Michelle and leave Adam out of it. Nick then throws Sophie under the bus with Tyson, but when he goes to Adam and Jeremy, but this makes Tyson think that Adam is more dangerous because he was able to turn them on Sarah. Now the thought is to take Adam out, but there are so many names being thrown around that it really could be anyone.

It is time for Tribal Council! There is talk about how chaotic things got at camp about who they were voting for. While Nick is talking about his name being put out there and how everyone is afraid to say what they want to say. There is a ton of side conversations going on and whispers. Everyone is whispering at this point but Ben and Adam are going back and forth and it gets a little heated. Jeff tells them it’s time to vote! Meanwhile, Adam is eye-balling that fleur-de-lis on the podium.

Jeff tallies the votes and comes back to tell the castaways that if anyone has a hidden immunity idol, now is the time to play it. Adam tried to play the fleur-de-lis on the podium, but it isn’t an idol. Here are the votes:

  • Sarah
  • Adam
  • Nick
  • Adam
  • Nick
  • Adam
  • Adam
  • Adam
  • Adam

With 6 votes, Adam is sent to EOE and he leaves his fire token to Denise.
