Day 0 (May 29) Pre-game press interviews? |
Day 1 (May 30) Filming begins. 
Ep.1 advantage menu
During the marooning, Ron finds an envelope labeled "Secret Advantage." After getting to camp, he opens it, and follows the directions to the actual advantage (near the water well). It's a three-episode advantage "menu": Could be a (1) reward steal, (2) extra vote, or (3) hidden immunity idol, and it expires after the third Tribal Council. |
Day 2 (May 31) |
Day 3 (June 1) 
Ep.1 IC: Social Network
The entire tribe must maneuver through a rope obstacle, then one person (Joe, Chris) must climb a rope and ring a bell. Then as many people as possible must cross a 3-tier balance beam, and untie a bar that releases an easier-to-cross beam for the rest of the tribe. Kelley injures her forehead during the balance beam. One person (Eric, Lauren) then climbs a crow's nest, pulls a lever to drop a slide, then six players (all but Ron, Julia, Victoria; all but Wendy, Reem, Rick) work together to solve a giant slide puzzle (as first seen in South Pacific). Results: Kama wins, after taking a huge lead on the balance beam. TC1 - Reem voted out (4-3-1-1), sent to EoE, 17 left. |
Day 4 (June 2) 
Ep.2 idol: Lauren
While the entire Manu tribe is off on an officially sanctioned idol hunt, Lauren finds a tree that has been knocked down. Placed within the trunk is a blue package, which contains the Manu idol. Lauren buries it elsewhere, doesn't tell anyone about it. |

| Day 5 (June 3) |
Day 6 (June 4) 
Ep.2 IC: Serpent Turf
Julie sits out. Challenge: As (mostly) seen in Game Changers. Eight people must jump off a dock and swim in to cage, untie a giant 400-lb snake, lift it over the cage, carry it to the beach, then under a crawl obstacle, and finally, lift the snake onto a table. There, they untie knots and remove six number tiles from the snake. Number tiles are used to solve a combo lock (Ron, David). This releases eight rings, and someone (Joe, Eric; Chris, Keith) must toss the rings to land them, flip canoe paddles and spell IMMUNITY. Kama takes a huge lead on the swimming/snake portion, but by the ring toss, Chris catches them up at 1-1. But Keith misses his tosses, and Kama wins, 8-4 (with Joe, Eric, and Chris each flipping four paddles). Kama selects fishing gear for their reward, over spices and a knife set. TC2 - Keith voted out (6-1-1), sent to EoE, 16 left. |
Day 7 (June 5) 
Ep.3 RC: Losing Face
Ron, Aubry sit out. As seen in the South Pacific Ep6 IC. Three contestants (Eric, Julie, Joe; David, Rick, Wardog) must assemble a wheelbarrow, then move it through a series of obstacles, collecting sandbags. Then they dump out the sandbags, and four more people (Gavin, Julia, Aurora, Victoria; Wendy, Kelley, Lauren, Chris) disassemble the wheelbarrow, and use the pieces to build a giant slingshot. Then they (Gavin, Julia; Chris) use that to knock down 4 targets. Shooting results: Chris-4, Julia-1, Gavin-0. Manu wins! Chooses chickens over comfort items. 
Ep.3 idol: Aubry
Feeling like she needs the protection, and also wanting to check "find an idol" off of her Survivor bucket list, Aubry resumes searching for idols, and eventually finds one in a tree near camp. T.ears. |
Day 8 (June 6) 
Ep.3 IC: Beyond the Wheel
Julie, Victoria sit out. Three tribe members (Gavin, Julia, Aubry; David, Kelley, Lauren) are in a boat, the other four are tethered to it, and will swim to pull it through the water. First to a tower where the three jump off, grabbing keys, then to a platform, where the keys unlock puzzle bags. The three then do a three-part ship's wheel puzzle (as lastseen in Game Changers) to raise a tribe flag. Kama lags on the final key, but comes back and beats Manu on the puzzle. TC3 - Chris voted out (5-2), sent to EoE, 15 left. |
Day 9 (June 7) 
Ep.4 tribal swap
After giving Kama time to gasp at Chris's boot, Probst tells everyone to drop their buffs. Three new tribes are formed: Kama (all original Kamas), Manu (all original Kamas plus Wendy), and a third tribe, Lesu (the remaining original Manus). |
Day 10 (June 8) |
Day 11 (June 9) 
Ep.4 IC: Yank Yer Hank
As seen in Cambodia. Tribes must cross three (slippery) A-frame barriers, carrying rope, then tie those ropes together, and use the rope to haul a heavy crate along a bumpy track. Once the crate has been hauled, they untie knots to open the crates, then untie puzzle slats. Then two people (Joe, Ron; Kelley, David; Eric, Aubry/Wendy) use the slats to solve a vertical puzzle. Kama solves the puzzle first. Manu second. Lesu loses. TC4 - Rick voted out (3-2), sent to EoE, 14 left. |

Winner gets PB&J feast, second place gets a plate. Results: Gavin (Manu-1), Eric (Manu-2), Ron (Kama-1), Joe (Kama-2), Wendy (Manu-3), Aurora (Kama-3), Julie (Kama wins!), Kelley (Lesu-1), Wardog (Lesu-2), Victoria (Manu-4). Kama first, Manu second. |
Day 13 (June 11) 
Ep.5 Extinction twists
Chris finds a crate buried in the sand. Inside, there are four maps, one for each Extinction resident. Rick figures out that the maps fold in to reveal the (top of the island) locations of two trees, each with an advantage. After Keith sneaks off while everyone's eating, the remaining three race to catch him. Chris tackles Keith right as he's reaching the tree, and grabs the advantage tube: it contains bamboo, string, and message saying "Practice." Meanwhile, Rick heads to the other tree, and finds its advantage: An extra vote they can give to one person at the next Tribal Council. Aubry receives it later in the episode. 
Ep.5 IC: A Bit Dinghy
Julie, Victoria sit out. Contestants must swim out, climb up a ramp, dive off and retrieve two buoy puzzle pieces, and take it to a pontoon. Eric, Gavin (Manu), Joe, Julie (Kama) get their pieces, and pull themselves to a dock to build a four-piece pyramid puzzle. Lesu fails to get buoys while both other tribes are working on puzzle. Eventually Wardog and Lauren them. Kama wins, and Lesu makes a surprise comeback, and places second. TC5 - Aubry voted out (4-1), sent to EoE, 13 left. |
Day 14 (June 12) 
Ep.6 RC: Rod Screw It
Aurora sits out. Contestants must cross tables, then one person (Lauren, Julia, Victoria) unties knots to release a lever, dumping sandbags. Everyone must then transfer sandbags to a collecting basket. Then one person (Joe, Gavin, Wardog/Lauren) tosses sandbags at a spinning wheel to lower flags (as in Ghost island). Scoring: Joe-1, Gavin-1, Joe-2. Kama wins pastry feast. Gavin-2 Manu second, gets cookies and iced coffee. Lesu loses again. |
Day 15 (June 13) |
Day 16 (June 14) 
Ep.6 IC: In Through the Out Door
Ron sits out. Contestants must climb a ladder and maneuver a bag attached to a rope through a bamboo frame. They then toss a ball inside the bag (on a string) through a hoop, and use it to pull down a frame, which they cross, then two people (David, Kelley; Eric, Victoria; Julia, Julie/Joe) work a table maze. Joe swaps in, solves the table maze for Kama, and Kama wins! Last two teams (Lesu, Manu) have to attend Tribal together. 
Ep.6 idol: Kelley
In the lead-up to their joint Tribal Council with Manu, Lesu realizes Wardog has disappeared, and (rightly) conclude he's off looking for idols. So Kelley, David, and Lauren all search themselves. Kelley eventually spots it, in a tree right behind Wardog. He wanders off and she grabs it. She later tells Lauren she found it, and Lauren responds that she has the Manu one, too. TC6 - Wendy voted out (4-4 [6-0]), sent to EoE, 12 left. |
Day 17 (June 15) 
Ep.7 merge
The three tribes come together at a challenge site, and ... surprise! It's a merge instead. Oh yeah, and then the booted players from Edge of Extinction all come in, too. After numerous gasps, Probst explains how Edge of Extinction works, and that the bootees are here for a chance to re-enter the game. 
Ep.7 RC: Back in the Saddle
Re-entry challenge, featuring the six people voted out thus far: Reem, Keith, Chris, Rick, Aubry, and Wendy. Contestants must climb over a cargo net and untie a bag of sticks. Then tie the sticks together, retrieve a key to unlock a gate (as in "Jail Break"). Then maneuver a ball along the vertical snake track from DvsG. Aubry is first to the snake maze, then Rick, Reem, Wendy, Chris, Keith. Wendy makes slow, steady progress, Rick, Chris just behind her. Wendy drops at the very top. Chris does too. Rick wins! Rick re-enters the game, joining the new merged Vata tribe. After they leave, the others learn they can go back to Extinction if they want to. All do. 
Ep.7 Extinction
After returning to Edge of Extinction, Wendy and Keith each decide they've gotten as much out of the experience as they're likely to, and raise the sail. They leave in a boat. Later, the three remaining inhabitants (Reem, Chris, Aubry) show up at Tribal as the jury. |
Day 18 (June 16) 
Ep.7 idol: Rick
Apparently concerned that Rick could be voted right back out, production just puts an idol in his bag. Except it doesn't stop him from being voted right back out, because it has to be split in half and shared with someone else (he picks David), and then it only becomes fully powered if both are still there during the Ep8 Tribal Council. Yay? |
