Lauren is crying after tribal, saying she feels lied to by Missy. Elaine knows her side are in charge now after she used her advantage, and the other side are scrambling. Lairo lose their fire in the night and Jamal tries to restart it. Jack suggests letting Kellee try, but Jamal doesn't let her, which really pisses her off. Noura is also annoyed at Jamal for rice policing, and suggests that the women band together to take him out.

| You cannot lose if you don't play |
A boat pulls up at Lairo to take the next person to Island of the Idols, and it's Janet who receives he summon. Janet cries as she's worried it'll put a target on her back. She ends up starstruck when she meets Rob and Sandra (who has a bandaged hand for some reason), and they're here to teach her about "calculated risk". Rob tells Janet she has a chance to win a safety advantage, which would allow her to leave tribal and be safe. Janet weighs up whether to take it or not and decides to decline, since it would just put a target on her. Rob smiles and say it was a good decision. As Janet goes back, Sandra seems very high on Janet's chances of winning, and tells Rob she wants to bet a woman is taking it this season.

| Back to the chicken analogies |
Dan is groping people in the night, and Tommy and Lauren decide they need to stick together and make sure Dan is the next to go, fully throwing him under the bus. Missy sees through it and decides Tommy is the best target.

| Gonna be a photo finish |
The immunity challenge (oh, so we're back to only one challenge again?) is to throw coconuts into a net until you have enough to tip over your puzzle pieces, the solve a large puzzle. Missy, Tommy and Elizabeth are the shooters for Vokai. Dean, Jack and Janet are the shooters for Lairo. Jack scores a lot early on, but the collective effort of Vokai gives them a bit of a lead. Lauren starts directing the puzzle, and they have a bit of a premature celebration when they put it together without realizing their sides need switching. Both tribes make a mad scramble to get their last pieces in place and Vokai end up winning by seconds.

| Moment of inspiration: Kellee's wheels are turning |
Jamal says the vote is Dean, and feels like nobody has any reason to do anything else. Jack makes Dean feel comfortable by telling him the guys need to stick together and that it's Noura. Kellee still has her idol that she has to play this vote and we see her wheels turning as she realizes she should give the idol to Dean. Kellee tells Dean he's getting played and everybody is voting for him, but she has an idol that can save him. She also tries to get Noura's vote. There's a lot of moving pieces here, can she pull it all together?
At tribal council, Kellee says the people who have been together longer are staying together. Jamal is worried Noura is coming after him. Noura explain that she hates Jamal, but is indifferent to Dean, which is even worse...ok then. Jamal talks about his fear of a women's alliance, which Kellee objects to and says is sexist and unfounded. Jeff opens up a passionate discussion about gender, but we still have a vote to get to afterwards.

| Shocks galore as the first idols are played |
As Karishma gloats about Dean missing three shots at her, it seems Dean has a trick up his sleeve after all when he produces the idol and plays it, to some shocked faces. Jamal gets up to play his too...for Noura. WHAT? Oh my God, did he just idol himself out? Nope, but it ends up being Jack going home which isn't much better. And he's on the jury for some reason...I guess they just start it whenever they want now.
Wow, now that was a crazy tribal to end a pretty strong pre-merge...and ice cold from Noura since it turns out she was the second vote for Jack. And what's remarkable is we currently have no idols or advantages in play...on a season called Island of the Idols, no less. We end with an "In Memoriam" card for Rudy Boesch, who we lost this week. And now it's onward to the merge, which always shakes things up.
STAR OF THE WEEK: KELLEE KIM
Kellee walked a delicate tightrope this week but she got out who she wanted and also has no direct blood on her hands. She's calculating and smart, and could be a top contender for the crown.
