The Tribe voted unanimously for Ariela, then in a Tocantins inspired twist, Ariela got a private helicopter ride to the beach, along with a clue to look for the hidden immunity idol. Max got dehydrated and was evacuated during the first night and therefore did not participate in the immunity challenge. Ariela could not get to the immunity idol so she asked Guy to join in an alliance with her and get it for her.
