Scot and Jason thought they were in control of the game, but that all changed in Survivor: Kaoh Rong Episode 10 when Tai refused to play along with their super idol plan and ejected Scot and Jason’s idol from the game.
Michele and Julia were out of the loop and realize that puts them on the bottom with Jason.
Tai feels bad for what he did, but he realizes it’s a game in which he now has all the advantages.
For the reward challenge, they will retrieve rings from an obstacle course and then toss them. Reward is a helicopter ride to a picnic. They are tethered together in pairs: Joe and Tai, Julia and Aubry, and Michele and Cydney. By random draw, Jason will not participate. They are pretty close as they get to the ring toss. Joe and Cydney are the only ones having any success. After scoring for a third time, Cydney wins reward for herself and Michele. They choose Aubry to go with them, giving the reason that she hasn’t eaten.
While eating, Aubry and Cydney agree that they still trust Michele. Cydney would rather keep her around a lot more than Tai, who they can’t beat. This is Tai’s problem. None of his alliances actually want to keep him for very long. He’s a challenge threat, a social threat, and has both a hidden immunity idol and an extra vote.
Meanwhile, back at camp, Jason and Julia are plotting to get rid of Tai. They tell cydney when she gets back. As soon as he’s gone, they’re eating Mark the chicken.
For the immunity challenge, they will race out to a platform in the water to memorize symbols and corresponding numbers, which they will use to solve a puzzle on the beach. It doesn’t seem likely that they would do it on the first try, but Julia and Michele both do that and open their boxes with letters to unscramble. It’s even more unexpected that the Beauty tribe members are winning while the Brains fall apart around them. Joe decides to just quit, but by this point it doesn’t matter anyway. Michele wins immunity.
Jason’s the easy vote, but Julia wouldn’t be such a bad choice either after coming so close at the challenge. Michele was fine with the Jason vote, but she doesn’t want to get rid of Julia.
Before the votes are read, Tai asks Aubry if he should play his idol. She thinks he’s fine.
