Bianca (confessional): Talk about dodging a bullet! Damn! It could have easily been me walking out of tribal with my fire out, but it is still on, and I plan to keep it that way.
-Day 23-
JB: Come on in, guys!
*Castaways enter*
JB: Are you guys ready for today's reward challenge?
All: Yes!
JB: You will all compete in a round-robin obstacle course tournament. The last person standing wins reward. Do you want to know what you are playing for?
All: Yes!
JB: You and two other people will take part in a Maldivian tradition, with a dance, a ceremony, and a feast.
*Everyone cheers*
JB: The winner will also send one person to Exile Island, where they will receive a clue to the hidden immunity idol. Is that worth playing for?
All: Yes!
JB: OK, we will draw for matchups and get started.
*Castaways prepare*
Round One
-----------
Nina v. Juliet (Juliet wins)
Kevin v. Sam (Kevin wins)
Bianca v. Ronald (Bianca wins)
Thomas v. Rowena (Thomas wins)
Round Two
-----------
Juliet v. Kevin (Kevin wins)
Bianca v. Thomas (Bianca wins)
Round Three
------------
Kevin v. Bianca (Kevin wins)
JB: Kevin wins reward!
*Kevin celebrates*
JB: OK Kevin. You must now send someone to Exile Island. Who will that person be?
Kevin: I'm sending Thomas.
Kevin (confessional): Thomas is the only one I trust with the idol in his hands.
JB: OK Thomas, here is a map. Head out to Exile Island. You will return in time for your next immunity challenge.
*Thomas exits*
JB: Kevin, now you get to pick two people to go on the reward with you. Who will those two people be?
Kevin: Ronald & Rowena.
JB: Ronald & Rowena, come on over. You are going on reward with Kevin. For the rest of you, I have got nothing for you. Head back to camp. You three, get in the chopper!
-Day 24, Exile Island-
Thomas (confessional): Kevin sent me here to find the hidden immunity idol. This might be my only chance, so I better find it.
Clue #1
---------
In the ocean is where you seek
For the coveted possession
Only you get this peek.
Clue #2
---------
It lies under the place
Of your temporary home
And if you get it,
Security is yours.
Thomas (confessional): Well, here goes nothing.
-Day 25-
JB: Come on in, guys!
*Castaways enter*
JB: We will now bring in Thomas, returning from Exile Island.
*Thomas enters*
JB: Are you guys ready for today's immunity challenge?
All: Yes!
JB: First, I will take immunity from you Kevin.
*JB takes immunity*
JB: Playing in rounds and facing off in pairs, the castaways would slide across a slippery surface to retrieve a rope ring. They would then toss the ring onto a pole. The first castaway to toss their ring onto the pole would move on to the next round. In the second round, there would be two rings to retrieve and toss onto the pole. In the final round, there would be three rings to retrieve and toss onto the pole. Last person standing wins immunity. Does everyone understand?
All: Yes!
JB: We will draw for matchups and get started!
*Castaways prepare*
Round One
-----------
Bianca v. Nina (Bianca wins)
Kevin v. Rowena (Kevin wins)
Ronald v. Juliet (Ronald wins)
Sam v. Thomas (Sam wins)
Round Two
-----------
Bianca v. Kevin (Kevin wins)
Ronald v. Sam (Ronald wins)
Round Three
-----------
Kevin v. Ronald (Kevin wins)
JB: Kevin wins his third straight challenge!
*Kevin celebrates*
JB: Kevin, congrats, you are safe from tribal council tonight. For the rest of you, after 25 days, one of you is gone. See you at tribal.
-Day 25, Thaana-
Sam (confessional): Today, Kevin won immunity, which means Thomas should go, but Thomas is the most recent person to have been on Exile. So, he could surprise us tonight with his idol. Who knows?
Sam: Who are we voting out?
Juliet: Thomas.
Nina: What if Thomas has the idol?
Rowena: Yes. We are going to need a Plan B.
Ronald: I don't know guys. I don't think he has it. I have a gut feeling that he doesn't have it. We don't need to make things complicated. We all vote out Thomas. End of story. I want to take a risk tonight. I think I am due for a risk moment, and I am ready. Either he has it, or he doesn't. We are about to find out.
-TRIBAL COUNCIL-
*Castaways enter*
JB: We will now bring in our jury. Sam, and Keith, voted out at the last tribal council.
*Jury enters*
JB: Kevin, how does it feel to have immunity?
Kevin: It's always a great feeling to win. I love winning, and I hope this streak continues for a long time. Hopefully, until the very end of the game.
JB: Kevin, Ronald, Rowena, how was the reward?
All: Great!
JB: Thomas, how was Exile?
Thomas: It was nice & peaceful. I got to search for the idol for a long time.
JB: Nina, is Rowena treated like the former All-Star that she is, or is she treated like everyone else, just the same?
Nina: Just the same. Rowena is a player in this game, just like everyone else.
JB: Juliet, is tonight's vote planning for now, or planning for the future?
Juliet: Planning mainly for now, but also a bit of the future as well. Every decision in this game can come back to haunt you.
JB: Bianca, are you nervous it could be you tonight?
Bianca: JB, I never feel safe at tribal. It's impossible to feel safe unless you have the necklace.
JB: Sam, what are you basing your vote off of tonight?
Sam: I am basing my vote on what will get me to the end of this game.
JB: OK, Kevin has immunity. Everyone else is fair game. It is time to vote. Bianca, you are up.
*Everyone votes*
JB: If anyone has a hidden immunity idol and you want to play it, now would be the time to do so.

...........Thomas. You need to bring me your torch.
*Thomas brings torch*
JB: Thomas, the tribe has spoken.
*snuffs torch*
JB: It is time for you to go.
*Thomas exits TC*
JB: Well, tonight, you proved that you are never safe unless you have immunity. Grab your torches. Head back to camp. Good night.
Thomas (exit interview): My only regret was not finding the idol. Had I found it, I would have probably gone to the end. I have a good feeling that it would have happened. But, it didn't, and everything happens for a reason.
