Everyone's alliances started to crack.
The new rivalry between Teresa and Taylor seemed to have overshadowed everything else.
After Teresa tricked Taylor into using her hidden immunity idol, Trust became the fourth member of the jury, which leaves both Teresa and Sagar untouchable in the upcoming tribal council.
At the Mezzy tribe, Taylor seemed annoyed at the result of the tribal council, as Teresa was left standing and untouchable for the next tribal council. People started scrambling a little bit as there would soon be a split between the big alliance since all the rest were gone and Teresa couldn't be voted out.
It seemed like David, Andy and Taylor were still sticking with each other, and Mike and Kenya were still inseparable. Both Diva and Sagar were still kind of wavering between those two teams. Teresa seemed to have nowhere to lean on but she was relieved that she would get to at least catch a breath for this round of elimination.
Diva: (To camera) At this point, only six of us are eligible for elimination and there will be an immunity challenge that will give two of us immunity. There are not really a lot of choices left to choose and the big alliance has to break down. I need to see what I can do to make sure I stay.

(Theme Song)
---------
In the morning, Taylor lashed out on Teresa for her still being in the game. Teresa ignored her and continued to socialize with everybody. Taylor was not happy that everyone was trying to be nicer to her because now she might hold an important vote for the next tribal council.
David was not so pleased either. He was still trying to figure out who was the third vote for him at the last tribal, but nobody fessed up to it.
---------
Charlie:
Good morning everyone. After the very intense last few weeks, we feel like it is time for you to enjoy a little bit. Today's reward challenge is all about the rewards, but you'll have to fight for them individually. This is the auction challenge.
Everyone gets $500 to bid, and the smallest bid has to be $10. We have several items and the auction can stop at any moment. If you end up with some money left, you're welcome to keep those. So it's really about how much you want the reward and what you are willing to give up. Do we understand the rules? Let's get started...
---
---
---
First item: Pizza and Garlic Bread
Taylor: $190!
Sagar: $420!
Sold! *Sagar enjoyed the pizza and bread and everybody else was staring.*
---------
Second item: Hidden Item
Kenya: $350!
Sold! *The item turned out to be a freshly made cold drinks. Kenya sipped away.*
---------
Third item: Hidden Item
Kenya: $130!
Sold! *The item turned out to be a fish eyeball. Kenya frowned and poked at it, but didn't take the eyeball.*
---------
Fourth item: A Chicken Leg
Taylor: $310!
Teresa: $490! *Taylor mouthed, dafuq? Teresa said, well you can go for $500.*
Sold! *Teresa got the chicken leg and enjoyed it away while looking at Taylor's face.*
---------
Fifth item: Hidden Item that Comes with a Twist
Sagar: $10! *Nobody else responded.*
Sold! *The item turned out to be rice and fresh water for everyone in the tribe. Crowd cheered and thanked Sagar.*
---------
Sixth item: A Clue to the Hidden Immunity Idol and Immediate Trip to Exile Island
Charlie:
This is actually the last item. You can all go ahead and keep the money that you still have. This item is won by Mike, and I'd like to congratulate Mike, because...
---
---
---
Mike, with $420, you've won the Immunity Idol! *Everyone looked extremely surprised.*
There will still be an immunity challenge, but Mike has won an Immunity Idol in this auction and will be safe for tomorrow's night's tribal council. The rest of you, take one more minute to finish your food or drink, and go back to your camp. I'll see y'all tomorrow.
---------
Back at the camp, everybody was congratulating Mike on his surprise Immunity Idol. But the tension soon went up as people realized that now only Kenya, Andy, David, Diva and Taylor were up for elimination. Since Taylor was not there, Kenya, Andy, David and Diva were all worried about their own safety but they were still willing to talk through it a little bit. They thought about going for Taylor since she had been an immunity threat and that not only had she used a hidden immunity idol before, but she's also likely to get another one again. But they also agreed that it could be risky as she might play the idol at tribal.
Sagar, Mike and Teresa gathered as they knew they were all safe and their votes could really count for something. They agreed that it might be best to vote out Taylor but it would all be up to the circumstances. They couldn't really come to a conclusion to whom to vote out, so they decided to make the decision after the immunity challenge.
---------
At Exile island, Taylor opened up the scroll she got from Charlie and it reads:
Don't be scared, as this will be fair.
Follow the shell, you may be amazed yourself.
Taylor was confused to see the same message on the scroll as the last time she got the clues. Instead of the long riddle like before, the clue only contained the first two sentences of the original riddle. Taylor carefully examined the scroll and made sure that she didn't miss anything. She remembered the last time she was here, she was looking through the seashells on the beach, but she wasn't able to find anything.
After a lot of thinking, she realized that the shell here may mean different things. She walked back to the forest and found a couple of coconut trees around the apple trees. She scouted around the trees and found a lot of coconut shells on the ground. She started going through them and she was determined to find what she came here for.

Charlie:
Welcome back everyone! And welcome back Taylor from Exile island. From this point forward, Exile island is no more. You will all have to depend on yourself rather than clues to hidden immunity idols to survive. First thing first, Kenya, I will need your idol back. *Kenya handed back the idol.* Once again, immunity is back up for grab. Mike, Teresa and Sagar, since you all have immunity, you will not be competing in this challenge.
Here is what today's immunity challenge will look like:
Basically, you'll have to have one hand backward, while using fish hooks to collect three bags of puzzle pieces that you will need to solve a three-part fishbone puzzle. The first person to finish this challenge will win immunity for his or her pair. Understood? Let's get started...
---
---
---
Everybody started using fishhooks to collect the first bag of puzzle pieces, and they were all successful in bringing in the first bag. Andy and Diva were the fastest to start on the puzzle, with Kenya and Taylor close behind, while David was slowly falling out of the game.
As soon as they were finished with the first part of the puzzle, both Kenya and Andy accidentally moved the puzzle and the fishbones fell apart, allowing David to catch up. Taylor caught up with Diva and they were both neck and neck in the challenge.
Andy and Kenya fell out of the challenge and David was trying his best to keep up. He was finally done with the second part of the puzzle when both Taylor and Diva started on their third. Andy stopped working on his puzzle and started cheering for Diva to win as he knew that's the only way he could be safe. David was catching up really quick, while Diva and Taylor were still solving the puzzle in a stead pace. At the end, one of them finished the puzzle and reached the finish line just seconds before David does...
---
---
---
Charlie: DIVA wins individual immunity! This means that Andy, as her partner, you will have immunity for tonight's tribal council as well. *Diva received the idol, Andy cheered on.* For the rest of you, good luck and I'll see you tonight. One of you will be eliminated from the game.
---
---
---
Back at the Mezzy tribe, Kenya and David went into panic mode for a bit as they were two of the only three people eligible for elimination. Taylor still looked calm as she fiddled in her jeans pocket a lot.
Everyone was talking about getting rid of Taylor, but they were all afraid that she already had the hidden immunity idol and that she would play it tonight. The discussion shifted to how close Kenya and Mike were, and how close David and Taylor were as well. Everyone realized that a power couple would be split up tonight and that could be a good thing for the tribe whatsoever.
Mike was campaigning for people to save Kenya, but he couldn't nail down who to target, David or Taylor. David was campaigning for people to vote out Kenya, since he wanted both him and Taylor to stay. It seemed clear that Andy, David and Taylor would all vote for Kenya to leave, and Mike and Kenya would vote to save Kenya. It was really unclear what Sagar, Diva and Teresa would do at this point of the game.
Kenya: (To camera) I feel really unsafe right now. I think I will have Mike's vote and Teresa's vote to save me. Tonight's really going to be a touch-and-go for me. I just wish that there's a way to make sure I'll stay. But all I can do is to just wish for the best and I hope that I can still stay in the game with Mike. Mikenya forever!

Tribal Council:
Charlie: So tonight's unlike any other nights, is it? Normally there are several of you that could be eliminated, but tonight, only Kenya, Taylor and David can be voted out of the game. What do y'all think about that? Let's start with David.
David: I feel super nervous because I have no idea how the votes will go down tonight.
Charlie: Kenya?
Kenya: I feel the same way. This is nerve-racking and I don't feel ready to leave the game yet.
Charlie: What about you, Taylor?
Taylor: Give me a minute. *took out a necklace from her pocket and wore it around her neck* Yeah so I actually feel completely safe tonight, because I have the hidden immunity idol. *Crowd gasped.*
Charlie: Interesting tactic. Do you think it's smart to just let everybody see that you have the hidden immunity idol? Are you going to play it tonight?
Taylor: Oh yeah, I'm definitely playing it tonight. So if y'all want to vote for me, be careful, because my vote will be the only vote that counts.
Charlie: Blunt move! Mike, what do you think about that?
Mike: Well, she could also be lying about using the idol so that nobody would vote for her and she would still get to keep the idol.
Diva: Yeah I agree that could happen.
Charlie: Well, before we vote, do you all want to say something?
Kenya: Yeah, I just really wanna be here because I feel like I made some great connections with y'all and I'm not ready to go. Please vote to save me.
Charlie: Anybody else?
Mike: Yes, save Kenya please.
Charlie: Sagar, do you have anything to say?
Sagar: Just good luck to all of you, and I hope the right person get voted out.
Charlie: And with that, it's time to vote. The only people you can vote for is either Taylor, David, or Kenya. Sagar, you're up first...
---------
Sagar: *writing on the sheet* (Vote not shown)
Mike: I hope Kenya gets to stay. (Vote not shown)
David: Kenya, you're a great player but you are my only choice.
Taylor: Kenya, congratulations for making it this far in the game. Best of luck to you.
Diva: *writing on the sheet* (Vote not shown)
Andy: *writing on the sheet* (Vote not shown)
Kenya: Please, please, please be voted out so that I can stay. (Vote not shown)
Teresa: Taylor, because you suck.

Charlie:
If anybody has a hidden immunity idol and wants to play it, now it would be the time to do so. *Everyone looked directly at Taylor. Taylor looked at Charlie and stood up.*
(Is something amazing going to happen like this?)
Taylor: So um... *played with her necklace* I decided not to use this, so let's see what happens. *Crowd was shocked, Teresa was smiling.*
Charlie:
Okay then, once the votes are read, the decision is final. The person voted out will have to leave the tribal council immediately. I'll read the votes.
First vote, Taylor. One vote Taylor.
Second vote, Taylor. Two votes Taylor.
Third vote, Kenya. Two votes Taylor, one vote Kenya.
Fourth vote, Kenya. Two votes Taylor, two votes Kenya.
Fifth vote, Kenya. Three votes Kenya, two votes Taylor.
---------
Sixth vote, David. Three votes Kenya, two votes Taylor, one vote David.
Seventh vote, David. Three votes Kenya, two votes Taylor, two votes David.
Eighth vote...
---------
We have a TIE. Three votes each for Kenya and David. *Jury was excited to see another tie. Trust gave Teresa a thumb up.*
David, Kenya, you two cannot vote. For the rest of you, you can only vote for either David or Kenya. As a reminder, if this comes down to another tie-vote, we will have to draw rocks. I hope you all make your decisions wisely. Sagar, you're up again...
---------
Sagar: *writing on the sheet.* (Vote not shown)
Mike: *writing David on the sheet.*
Andy: Kenya, I'm sorry, but there's no other way.
Diva: *writing on the sheet.* (Vote not shown)
Taylor: *writing Kenya on the sheet.*
Teresa: David, I'll settle with the second best.
---

Charlie:
Once the votes are read, the decision is final. The person with the most votes will be voted out immediately. I'll read the votes.
First vote, David. One vote David.
Second vote, David. Two votes David.
Third vote, Kenya. Two votes David, one vote Kenya.
Fourth vote, Kenya. Two votes Kenya, two votes David.
Fifth vote, David. Three votes David, two votes Kenya.
Sixth vote...
---------
The ninth person voted out of Survivor: Trend vs. Stars, and the fifth member of our jury, is, David. Please bring me your torch.
*David gave Taylor and Andy each a hug.*
*Sagar tried to hug David, but David refused.*
*Teresa looked really happy about the result.*
Charlie: David, the tribe has spoken. (Torch Snuffed.) Time for you to go to Ponderosa.
David: See ya!
Charlie:
I swear, every tribal there're some surprises. That was a good one. Now, here's another surprise for y'all.
Tonight's tribal council is NOT over. Everyone sit back at your seat, we will have another immunity challenge right away...
*Everybody looked around and was frightened by the news. Jury looked extremely excited to see what would go on.*
To Be Continued...*
Next time on, Charlie's Survivor:
Everybody fought for their lives in the immunity challenge at tribal council.
People were surprised at the reward challenge with something quite pleasant.
Two people in total would be voted out of the game by the next tribal council.
