Goliath tribe gets to choose their strongest man and
woman (John and Alison), and the Davids' weakest man
and woman (Christian, Lyrsa) to compete. The Davids
then get to pick which tasks each pair must perform in
a multi-stage challenge. Stage 1: Balance. Davids
select a beam over water for themselves, a plank
bridge for Goliaths. Stage 2: Davids select net crawl
for themselves, tube net for Goliaths. Stage 3:
Brains/brawn. Davids select 8-piece slide puzzle for
themselves, 15-piece block puzzle for Goliaths. Stage
4: First to crawl out on a pole and release the
shelter-making kit wins it. Results: Roughly even
through to the third stage, but Christian solves the
slide puzzle in seconds, giving the Davids an
insurmountable lead. Davids win.
Ep1 Hero RC: (Choices) - Lyrsa,
Christian win shelter kit.
Day 2
(March 30)
Ep.1 idol
As the entire Goliath tribe apparently searches for
idols instead of building their shelter, Dan, Natalia
and Kara are searching together when Dan notices a
rock with purple string around it. He realizes it
marks the Goliath idol, which he keeps (after sharing
the news of his find with Kara and Natalia).

through to the third stage, but Christian solves the
slide puzzle in seconds, giving the Davids an
insurmountable lead. Davids win. After the challenge,
as the tribe is being transported by boat back to
camp, the boat hits a wave, injuring Pat's back, and
he has to be medically evacuated.
While out wandering, ostensibly finding food, Davie
comes across a string tied around a stick. Upon
investigating, he discovers it's attached to the David
tribe's idol, which he quickly pockets.
Natalie sits out. One person (Alec, Bi) must use two
removable rungs to climb a ladder and release a key
that unlocks a raft. Five people then paddle out to a
platform, collect five bags of puzzle pieces, and
bring them back to the beach. Then five people must
balance five wobbly tables and build a wall-like
puzzle on top of them. If a table drops its pieces,
that person has to start over. The puzzle takes over
an hour, multiple people swap in and out. Eventually,
Goliath wins immunity plus fishing gear.
Ep2 RC/IC: "Another Brick in the Wall" -
Goliaths win.
TC1 - Jessica voted out (5-4), 18 left.
Day 7
(April 4)
Day 8
(April 5)
Day 9
(April 6)
Ep.3 RC/IC: Tangled Up in Blue
Natalia, Angelina sit out. As (mostly) seen in the
HvHvH Ep4 RC. Reward is comfort items. One person
(Alec, Bi) must navigate a rope around an obstacle,
pull the rope out of a harness, then three more people
(Lyrsa, Davie, Nick; Kara, Jeremy, Mike) unwind more
ropes. Then two more people toss a rope with a loop to
hook a sled (Dan, John; Carl, Elizabeth). The Goliaths
hook their sled first. Then the final two people
(Natalie, Alison; Christian, Gabby) do a 4-piece
pyramid puzzle. The Davids quickly see the solution
(as does Angelina on the sidelines) and the Davids
win! Bi injures her knee.
After Bi leaves for medical reasons (sprained MCL),
Probst tells the tribes to drop their buffs. All draw
wrapped buffs from two trays, then unwrap them
together. Three new tribes have been formed: Tiva
(green), Vuku (orange), and Jabeni (purple). Carl's
package contains no buff; he is sent to Exile Island
until after the next Tribal Council, where he will
join the IC-losing tribe after they vote someone out.
Sent to Exile Island, Carl finds a clue directing him
to a new advantage. The island hints it will be in a
coconut, down on the beach. Carl discovers many
coconuts floating in the surf, eventually finds the
one tied up with blue string. He opens it, and finds
the idol nullifier.
One person (Gabby, Angelina, Kara) rides in a
wheelbarrow, guiding two blindfolded teammates who
move the cart (John, Dan; Davie, Alec; Natalie, Nick).
They cross multiple obstacles, and untie a ball. The
cart rider removes the ball, and directs the last two
tribemates at moving the ball through a table maze.
Tiva wins, Jabini second. Tiva also wins brownies and
pastries as reward. Vuku loses, but gets Carl after
Tribal.
Tropical Cyclone Keni forces all three camps to be
evacuated, starting early on Day 12 (April 9th).
Contestants don't return to camp for two days, coming
back early on Day 14 (April 11th), to debris-strewn
camps and shattered shelters.
All tribes evacuated due to Tropical Cyclone Keni.
Day 13
(April 10)
Day 14
(April 11)
Ep.5 RC: Ball-istic Missiles
Held on Day 14, shortly after contestants return from
evacuation. Two people (Dan, John; Mike, Nick; Alec,
Davie) use poles to knock sandbags off of an overhead
net (as in Kaoh Rong), then one person (Dan, Lyrsa,
Carl) unties the slingshot. Two more people (Dan,
John; Angelina, Nick; Alec, Elizabeth) use a giant
slingshot to hit two targets. Results: Alec-1
(Vuku-1), Angelina-1 (Jabeni-1), Elizabeth-1 (Vuku
wins!), Dan-1 (Tiva-1), Nick-1 (Jabeni second). Vuku
wins, gets egg-laying chickens; Jabeni second, gets a
dozen eggs.
Tribes must cross a set of obstacles, then one person
(Carl, Gabby, Lyrsa) climbs ahead, tosses down a rope.
The remaining tribemates pull on the rope, lowering a
bridge. Then they all cross, and one person (Alec,
Gabby, Lyrsa) unties a ball bag, then one other person
(Alec; John/Christian; Nick) works the ball through a
vertical snake maze. Alec finishes first for Vuku,
Christian second for Tiva.
Ep5 IC: "A Bridge You Must Cross" - Vuku
wins, Tiva 2nd.
Dan finds second idol.
TC4 - Natalie voted out (3-2), 14 left.
Day 16
(April 13)
Ep.6 RC: Carry On
Alison, Kara sit out. One person (Alec, Gabby, Lyrsa)
is clipped to a bag of coconuts that the other three
have to carry. That allows the leader to climb over an
obstacle, walk along a balance beam, and retrieve four
rings. Once all four are retrieved, the leader
unclips, and one person (Alec/Davie/Carl,
Dan/John/Dan, Nick) tosses the rings onto pegs. First
to finish gets cooking utensils, herbs and spices, and
10 vegetable kabobs. Second gets two kabobs. Results:
Jabeni very slow at the start, Vuku first to ring
toss. Alec misses, swaps out for Davie. Hits: Dan-3,
John-1; Davie-2; Nick-4. Tiva wins, Jabeni second.
Elizabeth, Gabby sit out. Challenge is a variation on
"Dear Liza" from One World and Worlds
Apart. Four people must fill a heavy saucer
with water, cross obstacles, and pour it into a well.
Filling the well releases puzzle pieces, and two
people (Christian, Alison; Kara, Alec; ?,?) use the
saucer as a frame in which to work a circular puzzle.
Tiva first to puzzle, then Vuku, then Jabeni. Tiva
wins before Jabeni fills their well. After multiple
trips, Jabeni still hasn't filled their well, and Vuku
finishes second.
Contestants must stand on a ledge, and swing a
pendulum in circles through a frame, using a hook,
while avoiding knocking off a statue on a wobby
platform in the middle. If the pendulum stops or the
statue falls, they're out. Order of elimination: 13.
Mike, 12. Christian, 11. Carl, 10. Gabby (all getting
pendulum stuck on frame), 9. Kara, 8. Nick (circa 10
min). [15 min: switch hands while maintaining
momentum] 7. Davie (on transition), 6. Angelina, 5.
Alec, 4. John (accidentally steps off), 3. Dan (statue
falls), 2. Elizabeth, 1. Alison wins!
Nick and Davie are looking for idols, when Nick finds
a clue wrapped in blue string. It's the logo from the
merge feast, showing the beachfront location of an
advantage. They figure out the location, then as Davie
distracts onlookers, Nick collects the advantage,
which turns out to be the vote steal advantage.
Schoolyard pick for two teams of six: Orange (Gabby
picks Christian, John, Alison, Alec, Nick) and Purple
(Mike picks Carl, Kara, Davie, Dan, Angelina). Teams
must hold eight 10-lb sandbags over their heads, each
person must hold at least one. At 15-minute intervals,
one person must drop out, handing off their weight to
someone else. Last team standing wins. Results: [15
min.] Gabby, Angelina drop out. [30 min.] Christian,
Carl out (all now have two bags). Dan stacks three
bags on one hand, one falls. Orange team wins a dozen
pizzas (Back at camp).
Ep8 RC: "Raise the Roof" - Orange
team wins pizza.
Day 22
(April 19)
Ep.8 IC: Can't Buoy Me Love
As Probst repeatedly tells the contestants, Brad
Culpepper won this challenge in Game Changers.
Contestant must balance on a narrow perch while
holding a buoy between two handles. Last to drop wins.
Results: 12. Kara, 11. Christian, 10. Alison, 9.
Davie, 8. John, 7. Gabby, 6. Carl, 5. Alec, 4. Mike,
3. Nick, 2. Angelina, 1. Dan wins!
Random draw for teams of five (Carl not on a team,
ineligible for reward). Orange = Alec, Dan, Mike,
Davie, Kara; Purple = Gabby, Alison, Christian,
Angelina, Nick. Contestants must cross obstacles, lift
up one person (Alec; Gabby) to release a bag of number
tiles, then go under a net crawl. One person(Mike;
Christian) uses those tiles to solve a combination
lock. The lock releases puzzle pieces, which two
people (Alec, Kara; Alison, Christian) use to solve a
snake puzzle (from Philippines). Orange has
a lead heading into puzzle, and eventually they win a
trip to the Bula Burger Bar.
Ep9 RC: "All Mixed Up" - Orange
team wins burgers.
Day 24
(April 21)
Ep.9 idol
As a group, the original Davids wake up early and
search the island for Davie's sure-to-be-rehidden
idol. Christian stays out slightly longer, divides the
island into sectors, and searches key spots,
eventually finding an idol.
Contestants must go over a high-step obstacle, then
carry a ball on a disc over a see-saw, then a balance
beam, repeating the process for three total balls.
Then they must maneuver the balls through a snake
table maze, placing each ball at bends along the
snake. Alec wins easily, although multiple people are
tied with one ball placed. Order to table maze: Dan,
Alec, Kara, Carl, Angelina, Alison. Balls placed:
Dan-1, Alec-1, Carl-1, Angelina-1, Alec-2, Alec-3.
Mike, Nick, Christian, Gabby, Davie all still
gathering balls when Alec wins.
Two teams: Purple (Nick, Kara, Davie, Carl, Angelina)
and Orange (Alec, Christian, Gabby, Alison, Mike). One
at a time, contestants must cross a slack line (with
ropes dangling as hand holds), then one person (Alec;
Nick, Davie) must toss three rungs onto a ladder
target. Purple has a lead on the final stage, and Nick
lands the first rung. But then Alec lands 2 for
orange. Davie swaps in for Nick, lands one more, but
Alec finishes the job, orange team wins a Survivor
picnic (3-2).
Ep10 RC: "Back in Slack" - Orange
team wins wraps.
Ep.10 idol
Once again up early, Nick and Davie search the island
for Dan's sure-to-be-rehidden idol. They find a clue,
again. It states that the holder (Nick) must retrieve
the idol from a secluded location at the end of the
island, late that night. Long after dark, with Davie
on lookout duty, Nick gets his idol.
Angelina, Carl, Nick opt out, choose to eat nachos
instead. Contestants must stand on a narrow perch and
hold onto a handle behind their heads. All last 11
minutes. Order out: 7. Mike, 6. Davie, (1 hr.) 5.
Kara, (1 hr, 35 min.) 4. Alison, (2 hrs) 3. Gabby.
[Christian starts a 2-hr monologue.] After 5 hrs, 30
min., 2. Alec steps off, and 1. Christian wins!
Schoolyard pick for two teams. Orange team: Kara
(captain), Carl, Davie, Mike; Purple: Angelina
(captain), Nick, Gabby, Alison. Christian not chosen,
can't participate in reward. Contestants must jump off
a high ladder into the water, then swim out to a ring.
Once all four reach it, one person at a time (Kara,
Davie; Nick, Angelina, Alison) must dive down and
release two lines of buoys from two cages. Then they
swim the buoy lines over to a platform, untie the five
solid-color buoys, then take turns trying to dunk them
in each of five baskets. Scoring = Orange: Carl 2,
Davie 3; Purple: Nick 2. Orange wins reward: Speed
boat cruise with chicken, beer, and cheesecake.
Ep11 RC: "Beastie Buoys" - Orange
team wins chicken and beer.
Day 30
(April 27)
Ep.11 IC: Word Forward
Angelina sits out in exchange for more rice for the
tribe. Contestants must cross an obstacle, twist
around a post (to make them dizzy), then navigate a
balance beam, collecting three bundles of puzzle
pieces along the way. Then solve a one-word puzzle: 11
letter solution, but using 13 total letters (two
extra). Carl tries PERCEPTIONS, but it's wrong. Alison
and Davie race to put in the right word, Davie wins
with PERSPECTIVE.
Loved ones visit, begins with introduction of the
loved ones: Davie's mom Hazel, Alison's mom Willa,
Kara's brother Erik, Nick's dad Jim, Gabby's mom
Carnita, Angelina's mom Anna, Mike's boyfriend Josh,
Christian's girlfriend Emily. Actual challenge is run
in pairs: Christian/Gabby, Davie/Mike, Angelina/Nick,
Alison/Kara. Pairs must run in to the beach, go under
a crawl obstacle, dig up a ring of keys from a sand
pit, unlock two balls, then land each ball on top of a
high gutter. Alison/Kara first to tossing balls,
Davie/Mike next, Angelina/Nick, Christian/Gabby.
Scoring: Davie-1, Nick-1, Angelina-1. Nick and
Angelina win! They pick Mike and Davie (and their
loved ones) to join them for a barbecue on a barge.
Ep14: "With
Great Power Comes Great Responsibility"
Day 32
(April 29)
Ep.12 IC: A Hand Out
Contestants must stand on a narrow beam, holding a
pole in the palm of one hand, holding up a bucket. If
they move too much, the bucket drops, and they're out.
8. Mike, (5 min, move front foot behind back foot) 7.
Gabby (on transition),6. Alison, 5. Angelina, (15
min., move front foot behind back foot again) 4. Nick,
3. Christian, 2. Davie, 1. Kara wins!
Contestants are each attached to a rope. They must
unwrap the rope from around the poles of a hexagonal
pen, gathering enough rope to enable them to cross
several obstacles, then toss sandbags to knock blocks
off a table. First to knock off all their blocks wins.
Winner gets a helicopter ride to a spa getaway.
Results: Davie first to sandbags, then Alison,
Angelina, Nick, Kara. Davie, Nick have two blocks
left, then one. (Rest tied for third.) Davie wins,
picks Nick, Kara to join him.
Davie is out searching the camp early in the morning,
following Christian's idol play. He eventually finds a
wrapped package, but it's just a clue, directing him
to the site of the merge feast (at the other end of
the island) for an "advantage". Davie arrives, and
learns he's won an idol that only works at the next
tribal council. He can extend its life by two more
Tribals, if he selects the correct urn from two each
of two pairs of urns. If he guesses wrong, he loses
his vote. Davie wisely elects to just keep the
single-use idol, and not risk his vote.
As in Redemption Island, One World, etc.
Contestants must stand on a narrow perch, holding a
disc. They must balance a ball on the disc. If they or
the ball fall, they're out. All make it through the
first round (one ball). Round 2 = 2 balls. Elimination
order: 7. Kara, 6. Angelina, 5. Davie, 4. Christian,
3. Nick. Round 3 (3 balls): 2. Alison, 1. Mike wins!
Contestants must hop over obstacles, use a ball on a
rope to hook a circular target, then pull the rope to
release a stair puzzle (as in Redemption Island).
Then climb those stairs and solve a massive 63-piece
Survivor logo puzzle. Order to start the final puzzle:
Kara, Davie, Mike, Angelina, Nick, Alison. Kara,
Angelina lead on final puzzle, but Nick makes a huge
comeback, and wins! He picks Angelina and Nick to join
him for a reward spaghetti feast in camp.
Early in the morning, before the RC/IC, Angelina
finds an idol clue, which directs her to dig up a
ladder, take it over to the water well area, then
climb the ladder to retrieve the idol. In all the
commotion, she drops the clue, and ends up going to
the well without explicit directions, climbing the
cliff behind the well, and coming up empty-handed.
Later at the reward feast, she tells Nick and Mike
about the clue, and collectively, the find the idol,
after Mike re-discovers the lost clue. Angelina
retrieves the idol.
As seen in Cagayan. Contestants must stand
on top of a high pole over water, drop a hole-filled
bucket into the water, and use it to fill a tube,
lifting a key. Then jump in, swim the key to the
shore, and unlock puzzle pieces, finally working a
vertical puzzle. Alison is first to shore and has a
big lead, but Nick again comes from behind on the
puzzle, and wins.
As seen in Tocantins. Contestants have one
hand tied behind their back, and must drop a ball onto
a twisty metal track with two possible outlets (left
and right). They must catch the ball, and return it to
the top of the track. After a certain amount of time,
additional balls are added, making the task more
difficult. If the ball drops on the ground they're
out. Last person standing wins. All reach the
three-ball stage. Order of elimination: 4. Angelina,
3. Mike, 2. Kara (on transition to 4 balls), 1. Nick
wins his third and final immunity!
TC15 - Mike wins, Kara
out by fire-making, 3 left.
Ep14: "With Great Power
..."
Game over
Day 39
(May 6)
Final Tribal Council
The final three contestants (Nick, Mike, and
Angelina) face the jury, defending their respective
games. In the end, the jury votes for Nick to win,
giving him 7 votes to Mike's 3. Angelina receives zero
votes.
