The contestants must find and retrieve the
Medallion of Power for their tribe. Brenda finds it,
then discovers the tribes at arrival are not
accurate, and are in fact divided by age:
40-and-over (Espada) versus 30-and-under (La Flor).
La Flor chooses to give the MoP to Espada in
exchange for flint and a box of fishing gear.
Ep1 RC: "Medallion of Power" - Brenda/
La Flor wins, gives MoP to Espada.
Day 2

Day 3
(June 16)
Ep.1 IC: Getting Tanked
Espada elects not to play the Medallion of Power.
One contestant (NaOnka, Holly) must pour water
through a series of gutters held by contestants (all
the guys) to fill a bucket. Once full, it releases a
bag of puzzle pieces, which the remaining
contestants must solve. La Flor wins.
NaOnka sits out. Espada plays the Medallion of
Power, getting a one-ball advantage, and allowing
Dan to sit out. Contestants (Brenda, KellyB, PKelly,
Alina; JimmyJ, Jane, Holly) must cross a mud pit,
retrieve a ball from a pile of hay. Once all four
balls are retrieved, tribes must pass them from
person to person (Chase-Sash-Fabio-Benry,
Jill-Marty-JimmyT-Tyrone), catching and flinging
with shields, into a barrel. Shannon & Yve
retrieve dropped balls. Espada wins, chooses fishing
gear for reward.
Getting Barreled. La Flor chooses to not to use the
Medallion of Power. Contestants must retrieve ten
barrels and place them on stands. Then one or two
people per tribe (Tyrone, JimmyT; Chase, Benry) toss
sandbags until one has landed on each barrel. La
Flor wins, despite eschewing the two-barrel
advantage the MoP would have offered. La Flor gets
immunity plus a vegetable/spice garden, including a
hidden idol clue, which Kelly B and NaOnka fight
over.
Using the clue NaOnka mugged Kelly B to obtain,
Brenda deciphers the exact location of the La Flor
hidden immunity idol. NaOnka walks over to the spot,
turns over a rock, picks up the idol, and keeps it.
Thanks, Brenda! (She doesn't actually say thanks,
that would be silly.)
Brenda and NaOnka find
La Flor's hidden immunity idol.

Ep.4 RC/IC: Sears and Doers
Kelly B, Purple Kelly and Dan sit out of a massive
product placement for Sears. One contestant per

pairs of blindfolded tribemates to collect 10 Sears
outdoor items from an obstacle-strewn field, and
return them to the tribe mat. Once all 10 are
retrieved, they must get a key, unlock a chest, and
bring the chest to the mat. La Flor uses the
Medallion of Power, starting off with 2 items
already on their mat. La Flor wins, gets immunity,
and chooses fishing gear, a tarp, and kitchen
utensils for reward.

& Benry, Jane & Fabio) then smash five

competing for reward at the end. Contestants must

tiles. Espada wins: Espada 5 (Benry 3, Alina 2), La
Flor 2 (PK 2, Brenda 0).
