Then they must build a fire tall enough to burn through a rope, dropping a set of camp supplies. First tribe to do so wins the supplies, plus what's on their raft.

She hands off to Nathan, he and Shai hand the extra weight back and forth between them for the rest of the challenge. Rachel drops out at 43 minutes, leaving Caleton with just 7 people in.

There, they must use the keys to unlock the crates, releasing pieces of bamboo, which they must stack around a pole, building a tower. First tribe to build a tower higher than the colored line on the pole wins. Results: It's even up to the diving portion. Lee/Pegleg and Matthew/Tinuke return the first crates well, but Sabrina/Rach struggle with their knots, and Laurence/Jess and Shai/Matthew pass them, giving Caletón a massive lead. Eventually Sabrina swaps out for Christopher, and Pegleg/Doug retrieve the third crate, but Caletón has their tower all but finished. La Nena makes decent progress once on the beach, but Caletón wins. TC2 - Sabrina voted out (5-2-2), 16 left. |

Each arrives at the Outpost separately, and faces a dilemma: Choose one of (1) A large fish for the tribe, (2) a smaller fish, plus a clue to an idol they must share with one other person, or (3) a tiny baked potato, plus an idol clue they can keep for themselves. Laurence thinks for a few seconds, takes the large fish. He tells his tribe exactly what the choices were. Ren thinks about it more carefully, takes option (2), shares the clue with Doug, while not telling the whole truth about the choices. Later at the IC, Christopher asks Laurence about the choices, and gets the correct story. |

Results: Per a a pre-game La Nena strategy, Pegleg, then Ren, then Ashleigh drop out fairly quickly, leaving La Nena with 5 people. Leilani then drops for Caleton, then Rach for La Nena (all 4 still in now carrying two packs). Eventually Hannah drops, too. Caleton eventually catches the three overburdened La Nenas.

Day 28 (July 20) 
Ep.13 idol: Nathan
The tribe awakens on Day 21 to find a lobster trap on their beach, with a scroll attached telling them to find a (hidden) key, which will open it. Several people set off searching, but Christopher and Matthew find it. Technically it's Christopher's, but he hands the key to Matty to open the cage and see what's in it, then retrieve it (because Matthew is under lower suspicion). Matthew does so, finds it's an idol, then decides to put it back in the trap so that people keep searching, safe in the knowledge that he has the key. Unfortunately, he neglects to close the trap's lock mechanism properly, and after the IC, Nathan wanders over to check it, opens the trap, and takes the idol. Sigh.

Ep.15 IC: Pinball Wizard
As seen in Millennials vs. Gen X. Contestants must build a block puzzle, but there's a catch: They can only do so after rolling a ball up a table, where it hits various pins (nails) on its way back down. They can work on the puzzle while the ball is rolling down, but they must catch it and roll it back up the table before it drops into a trough. If they don't, they have to wait for it to come out of a long series of ramps, which is a time penalty, during which they can't work on their puzzle. Results: Everyone gets multiple time penalties. Hannah finishes first, but has pieces incorrect. Christopher wins. TC15 - Pegleg voted out (4-1), 4 left. |
Day 33 (July 25) 
Ep.16 IC: Hand on the Idol
Final (four) immunity challenge, as seen in Borneo and AU: 2016, etc. Contestants must stand barefoot on narrow pegs, one hand on an idol, the other holding on to a ring.

Matt slips off (circa 3 hrs). At 4 hrs, Chris & Leilani have to lift their front leg, leaving them standing on their back foot. 2. Leilani passes out at some point after 5 hrs, so 1. Chris wins. TC16 - Hannah voted out (3-1), 3 left. |
Day 34 (July 26) 
Final Tribal Council
The final three - Christopher, Matthew, and Leilani - give opening statements, then field questions from the jury. Tinuke is still mad at Matthew for flipping on Caletón, Lee is still mad at Christopher for unknown reasons, and several Caletóns (Nathan, Laurence) seem skeptical that Leilani did anything memorable during the game, apart from reach the end. In the end, Matthew wins in a 6-1-1 vote. |
