We started tonight’s episode off with a look at the Vokai tribe after Molly was blindsided and voted out last week. Jack and Jamal are upset that they were blindsided though, however, Jack tells Kellee and Tommy that he respects the game move. Jamal tells Tommy that he is upset that he wasn’t included in this vote.

On Lairo, Aaron and the rest of the guys are a little worried that there are more women in their tribe and they can be picked off. They ask Vince if the women come to him with anything involving getting one of them out, then what. He tells them that he will talk to them all, however, he tells us that he would work with the women instead.

Back on Vokai, Dan is talking to everyone about the next Tribal Council if they end up going. Dan is pushing Noura on them and everyone seems to be on board with this, but Jamal tells Dan that he is skeptical about this because that’s what the plan was supposed to be before. Jamal tells us that he is thinking that he might try and turn some of the castaways into targeting Dan. Jamal goes to Janet who then goes to Tommy, but Tommy doesn’t think that Dan is the best move for their game, Janet wonders if Jamal might be the best bet for their game.

On Lairo, Karishma cuts her hand pretty badly and no one seems to be that concerned. She tells us how much it hurt her feelings that not a single one of them came to check on her and just went about their conversations like she didn’t matter. She tells us that every single one of her tribemates are dead to her now.

Someone comes to the Lairo tribe on a boat and starts yelling to get their attention. Vince is told to get on the boat and he heads to Island of the Idols! He gets to the island and meets Boston Rob and Sandra and is instantly overcome with emotions. He is told by Boston Rob that Vince’s task is going to be to go into the Vokai camp and light a torch to prove that he made it there without being caught. Boston Rob tells him that if he gets caught, he will lose his vote at the next Tribal Council, but if he wins, he will get an immunity idol good for the next two Tribal Councils. 

Vince tells them that he will do it and Boston Rob and Sandra start giving Vince advice on how not to be caught. They know it’s not going to be easy for him especially with nine members still left on the tribe. Vince is dropped off at the Vokai beach and he heads over to their camp. When he gets there, there is no fire, so his next best plan is to try and gather enough ash from their fire pit. A couple of the members of the tribe wake up during this, but they don’t see Vince and he is able to scurry off without being caught.

When he gets back to Sandra and Rob, they consider him bringing ash from their pit good enough and he gets an immunity idol good for the next two Tribal Councils. 

It is time for the Immunity and Reward Challenge for tonight! The castaways will be competing for a comfort reward in the form of cushions, blankets, a hammock, and a tarp. One castaway will have to swim out to get a key, which will open up a box with puzzle pieces in it. The rest of the castaways then have to get onto a seesaw and the last person up needs to retrieve another key from a bag. Lairo is the first to get there, but Vokai is able to make up some time.

Lairo gets both their bags down from the seesaw part of the challenge and starts putting together their puzzle, but Vokai is right behind them. Vokai takes a huge lead while putting their puzzle together, while Lairo is having a hard time finding the pieces that fit together. Vokai does manage to get their puzzle put together faster than Lairo and they win immunity and reward. Meanwhile, Lairo will be heading to Tribal Council tonight.

Lairo wants to see Karishma or Vince go. They think that Vince has an idol so they want to flush out the idol they think he has. The guys are talking about the girls voting out Vince and the guys voting out Karishma, but the girls know that Vince is on their side. They decide that they are going to vote out Tom instead because they need Karishma for numbers.

It is time for Tribal Council! The Tribal Council starts off with Tom saying that it’s frustrating that they have worked well as a team but then whenever they get a puzzle, they fail. Aaron chimes in and they both seem to be pointing their fingers at her for their loss. Karishma says that she doesn’t understand why they are pointing their fingers at her because she hasn’t had a chance to show her strengths. She also talks about how she feels like she is on the outs with the people she thought were on her side for a few different reasons.

Karishma gets up and starts talking to some of the other girls at Tribal and Tom seems to feel a little uneasy, but says that he thinks this is all for show. The castaways vote and they are tallied. Before reading them off, the castaways are asked if there is a hidden immunity idol to be played, now would be the time and no one stands. Here are the votes:

  • Tom
  • Karishma
  • Karishma
  • Karishma
  • Vince
  • Vince
  • Vince
  • Vince
  • Vince

With five votes and an idol in his pocket, Vince is voted off Survivor this week.
