Day 1 (June 23) 
Ep.1 marooning
Under the guise of heading to a publicity photo shoot, the cast are marooned in their street clothes, with no supplies, by jumping off a sailing ship and paddling to a nearby fishing village, where they must barter for supplies, plus a boat trip to their camps. With Sandra somehow being the only Spanish speaker on a 16-person cast, the Drake tribe amasses a huge amount of supplies and food, while Morgan struggles. |
Day 2 (June 24) |
Day 3 (June 25) 
Ep.1 IC: Cannon Carry
Tribes must transport a cannon through a series of obstacles. First take it apart to move it through a vertical gate, then reassemble it, then move it across a rocky field, then through a mud pit blocked by wooden barriers. Finally, they must race along the shoreline to the finish platform. One person (Christa, Nicole) carries the tribe flag, one person (Sandra, Darrah) carries the torch. First tribe to do so wins immunity. Results: Drake leads throughout the obstacle portion of the challenge, largely because it's impossible for Morgan to pass them. Once on the beach, Morgan passes Drake, but then gets stuck, and Drake ekes out a narrow win. TC1 - Nicole voted out (7-1), 15 players left. |

Once all five pieces are in the chest, the entire tribe must swim out and return the chest to the shore. First tribe to do so wins reward: A piece of the map that will lead each tribe to a treasure chest buried at their beach. (Both receive a shovel and a key.) Winning tribe also gets to send someone to loot one item from the other tribe. Results: Both Ryans struggle somewhat, but especially Ryan S. Drake takes a huge lead, has their chest on the beach before Morgan gets their fourth item into the chest. Sandra raids Morgan camp, takes their tarp. |

They then dig under a second cage, moving the flag along with them, to release two more. Then they must tie sticks together to retrieve two keys, one unlocking the third cage, the other releasing the rest of the tribe. Then they must use the pole again to retrieve one final key, to escape the final cell. First tribe to do all this, and have their entire tribe across the finish line with their flag, wins.

They have to vote for two people, and can't vote for themselves. In the end, the vote comes down to a four-way (2-2-2-2-1-1) tie with two votes remaining to be read (with Michelle and Trish the only two with just one vote). The next vote is for Burton (3, he's in), then Lill (3, she's in). After the rest leave, Lill draws a buff from a tube to select which tribe she and Burton will join. She picks a Morgan buff (to her chagrin), so she's headed there, while Burton goes to Drake. |
