For the challenge, three people (Ben, Cole, Lauren; Ryan, Roark, JP; Joe, Alan, Ashley) must untangle a twisted rope, including around obstacles. Alan/Ashley/Joe bring up the rear. One person (JP, Ben, Joe/Alan) then tosses the rope to hook a heavy sled containing pieces for a vertical puzzle. After hauling it, the remaining two people work the puzzle. Yawa leads (Mike, Jessica), then Soko (Chrissy, Ali). Yawa wins, before Levue even hooks their sled. They win a PB&J feast, no prize for second place. 
Ep.4 advantage
As the Yawa tribe enjoys their peanut butter and jelly feast, they also have individual chip bags. Inside the one she randomly picks, Jessica finds a Secret Advantage. It's a vote blocking advantage, that must be used at that episode's Tribal Council. Jessica can block someone at Yawa from voting, or must play it on someone on the tribe attending Tribal, if Yawa is immune. She tells Cole and Mike, Cole promptly tells Ben and Lauren. Then the drama is for naught, as Jessica plays it on Devon. |
