The Immunity Idol

Rachel reads the note that was hidden in her fries at the auction. The note tells Rachel the location of an immunity idol hidden at the corner of the tarp at camp. Rachel inspects the tarp and tries to figure out the best way to go about retrieving the idol.

Sierra discusses with some former Lavo tribe members about targeting former Tuku, specifically Kyle as the first target. Viewing him as the biggest competition threat. Genevive, however, wants to get rid of a former Gata member and discusses it with Sue and Caroline, hoping to target Rachel.

We then cut back to Rachel, who in the middle of the day, with everyone at their shelter, takes a risk to get the immunity idol from the tarp and is successful in doing so without being detected.

The Immunity Challenge

For this week's immunity challenge, everyone must hold onto a handle that is connected to a bucket containing 25 percent of their starting body weight, with the longest to hold on being the winner. One woman and one man will win immunity.

Sue is the first to win immunity, defeating all of her female tribemates. This leaves just Andy and Kyle from the men, Kyle eventually wins and takes home his third straight individual immunity.

With Kyle and Sue now safe, the tribe discusses the remaining former Tuku available to be voted out, which is now only Gabe and Caroline. They come to the decision that Gabe is now going to be the target.

Andy feels like he is being used by Sierra and Sam and wants to part ways with them and starts making moves in an attempt to oust his former Gata tribemates. This results in discussions of flipping the vote away from Gabe and onto Sierra. Teeny, however, would prefer Sam to be voted out over Sierra and pushes for that instead.

Tribal Council: Sierra is voted out this week

Jeff asks the group by a show of hands who feels uncomfortable that they can be completely wrong about how the vote goes. Everyone raises their hand. The votes are cast and tallied, before the vote is revealed, Jeff asks, as per usual, if anyone has an advantage or idol they would like to play. Rachel plays her "shot in the dark" advantage, however, it does not go her way as she is marked as "not safe," and any votes against Rachel will count.

The votes are revealed. Four votes for Sam, four votes for Sierra, and one vote for Gabe. On the revote, Sam still cannot cast a vote, and neither can Rachel due to playing her "shot in the dark." Everyone votes again for either Sam or Sierra and the re-vote is revealed. With five votes for Sierra and one vote for Sam, Sierra is voted out of the game, making her the first member of the Survivor season 47 jury. It is shown post-credits that the re-vote was 8-1 to vote Sierra out of the game.
