Day 1 (May 22) Filming begins. 
Ep.1 F20 IC: Water Slaughter
Held immediately after arrival and tribe assignments. As seen in Caramoan's game-opening RC. Two people from the tribe race out through the water to grab a ring, then try to touch the tribe's pole while also holding the ring, while two people from the other tribe try to stop them. First tribe to 3 points wins. Results: Rd.1: Yul, Tyson d. Jeremy, Ethan (Dakal-1, Sele-0). Rd.2: Kim, Sarah d. Natalie, Parvati (D2, S0). Rd.3: Rob, Ben d. Tony, Wendell (D2, S1). Rd.4: Sarah, Amber d. Natalie, Denise (D3, S1). Dakal wins! (They also get flint.) |
Day 2 (May 23) TC1 - Natalie voted out (7-2-1), 19 left. |
Day 3 (May 24) 
Ep.1 F19 IC: Blue Lagoon Bustle
Sandra sits out. Mostly as seen in Blood vs. Water. Tribes must push a boat into the water, paddle out to a floating station, where one person (Sarah, Rob) jumps off and unties a bag. They then paddle to a series of water obstacles, where everyone disembarks and must cross the obstacles (crates, roller, net), and go to the beach. One person (Yul, Adam) opens the bag, removing three discs with numbers on them, and uses them to solve a combo lock. Once open one person (Tyson/Wendell; Jeremy) tosses rings at three paddles. First tribe to land all three wins. Dakal has a huge lead, but blows it, and Sele wins, thanks to Jeremy's ring tossing skills. 
Ep.1 idol: Sandra
In her first day on Edge of Extinction, Natalie receives a quest, directing her to the last place she can see the sunset, in order to earn a fire token. She climbs to the top of the island, and finds an idol (good for 3 Tribals) she must "sell" to someone on the IC-losing tribe, for the low, low price of 1 fire token. She offers it to Sandra, who happily accepts. TC2 - Amber voted out (6-3-1), 18 left. |
Day 4 (May 25) 
Ep.2 Sele idol: Denise
While collecting wood together, Ben offers Denise advice for finding idols. They both look, and Denise finds one. It turns out to be a split idol, where Denise has to give someone else half of it by sundown, or else it loses its power. After Ben suggest they could use that half to build an alliance with someone, Denise gives Adam the second half. 
Ep.2 Dakal idol: Kim
While also collecting wood at Dakal camp, Kim finds their split idol. Lacking allies, she offers half to Sophie, who questions Kim's decision-making in confessional. |
| Ep2: "It's Like a Survivor Economy" | Ep3: "Out for Blood" | Ep4: "I Like Revenge" | ||||
| Day 5 (May 26) 
Ep.2 advantage: Safety without power
Natalie and Amber find a clue on Edge that talks about reflection. They wander aimlessly all over the island before giving up. Natalie then goes to the water well (hinted at in the clue) and finds the advantage: It allows someone to leave Tribal and return to camp right before the voting. She sells it Jeremy (of course) for one fire token. |
Day 6 (May 27) 
Ep.2 IC: Draggin' the Dragon
As originally seen in Cagayan's Ep1 RC/IC. Seven people must push a heavy cart along a twisty track, stopping at three stations where one person (Tyson; Ben) knocks a key off a high pole, which unlocks a heavy crate of puzzle pieces. Once all three crates are on the cart, it must be disassembled, pushed through a barrier, then reassembled and pushed to the puzzle station. There, two people (Sandra/Sophie; Rob/Denise) must solve a three-part, vertical circular dragon puzzle. Dakal takes a huge lead heading into the puzzle. Rob forces Denise to organize the pieces before starting on the second part of the puzzle, making Sele fall even further behind. Dakal wins easily, also gets a spice rack. TC2 - Danni voted out (8-1), 17 left. |
Day 7 (May 28) |
Day 8 (May 29) 
Ep.3 advantage: Steal-a-vote
Natalie, Amber, and Danni receive notes wrapped in bamboo with "pretty shells." The note just shows a distinctive tree Natalie and Amber recognize from the top of the island. The three go up there and find a combination lock, and a note telling them they've already received all the info they need. Amber tries numbers from the crates, but Natalie realizes the shells were in groups separated by knots. She counts them, enters the combo, and gets an advantage to sell: A chance to go to the other tribe's camp and grab a vote steal advantage at night. She sells it to Sarah, who (with Tony's camouflaging assistance) sneaks into Sele and gets the advantage from their torches. For this chance, Sarah gives Natalie her one fire token. |
Day 9 (May 30) 
Ep.3 IC: Along the Watch Tower
Sandra sits out. Tribe must cross obstacles, dig up a ladder, then one person (Tony; Jeremy) climbs that ladder to unwind a rope/monkey's paw from a high bar. Then someone (Wendell; Rob/Ben) must land that in a hook, and the tribe uses it to scale a tower. Finally, two people (Sarah, Sophie; Rob, Michele) must solve a tree puzzle. Dakal gets a huge lead thanks to Wendell and Tony, barely hold on with the puzzle. Dakal wins immunity and chicken kabobs. TC3 - Ethan voted out (4-3-1), 16 left. |
Day 10 (May 31) 
Ep.4 Edge of Extinction
At Edge of Extinction, Amber returns with news of the episode's task: The Edge denizens must hike up the mountain, retrieve one log, bring it back down to the camp, then repeat, for a total of 20 logs, total. Everyone who finishes by sundown will receive one fire token. Natalie sets a speedy pace, and the others try to keep up, except Danni, who opts for a slow-and-steady approach. Ethan faints and requires medical attention, but all four eventually finish. Natalie, Amber, and Danni accompany Ethan on his final trip up and down, in a show of solidarity. |
Day 11 (June 1) 
Ep.4 IC: Beyond the Wheel
Tony, Sandra sit out. Four people swim out from a dock, pulling a boat, carrying the three key grabbers (Nick, Kim, Sophie; Adam, Parvati, Denise), as seen in the Edge of Extinction Ep3 IC. Keys grabbed: Denise-0, Sophie-0, Nick-2, Adam-3, Parvati-0, Kim-1. Once all three keys are grabbed, they swim the boat to a final dock, where two people (Nick/Sarah; Rob/Kim) work a vertical ship's compass puzzle (as seen in the Cagayan F4 IC and David vs. Goliath Ep5 IC, which Nick won). Sele struggles mightily on the key stage, but Adam perseveres. Then Sele comes back on the puzzle, wins immunity and chickens. TC4 - Tyson voted out (7-1-1), 15 left. |
| Ep5: "The Buddy System on Steroids" | Ep6: "Quick on the Draw" | Ep7: "We're in the Majors" | ||||
| Day 12 (June 2) 
Ep.5 swap
The tribes arrive at the sand spit where the first challenge took place, see that Tyson was voted out, then promptly drop their buffs. They're divided into three new tribes: Yara (Adam, Ben, Rob, Sarah, Sophie), Dakal (Denise, Jeremy, Kim, Sandra, Tony) and Sele (Michele, Nick, Parvati, Wendell, Yul). 
Ep.5 idol: Sophie
Placed in a brand-new camp, the five members of Yara quickly realize there's probably a new idol hidden somewhere near camp, and everyone starts looking. Sophie quickly finds it, and it's another split idol, as were the first two. She shares half with Sarah. Sarah gives Sophie back the half-idol before they attend Tribal Council, two days later. |
Day 13 (June 3) |
Day 14 (June 4) 
Ep.5 IC: Block in a Hard Place
Tribes must cross a series of obstacles. Then 2-3 people (Nick, Yul, Wendell; Rob, Ben; Kim, Tony, Jeremy) toss sandbags to knock four large blocks off a ledge, then two people (Wendell, Parvati; Adam, Sophie; Jeremy, Sandra) must use those blocks to solve the four-block puzzle from "Sea Crates" in Samoa. Yara has a huge lead heading into the puzzle, Dakal way behind. But new Sele finishes first, followed by Dakal. Somehow, Yara loses. TC5 - Rob voted out (4-1), 14 left. |
Day 15 (June 5) 
Ep.6 Edge: Idol nullifier for peanut butter
The Edge of Extinction people learn a new trinket is hidden somewhere on the island. While the others immediately race to the top of the mountain, Tyson discerns from the clue that it's probably near the tide line. He spots it, pretends to pee as cover, and grabs an idol nullifier. He sells it back to Parvati for a fire token, then immediately spends that token on a giant tub of peanut butter (for himself). |
Day 16 (June 6) 
Ep.6 IC: Rice Race
Sandra, Michele sit out. Four people must swim to a boat, transport 3 sacks of rice to a gate with a narrow hole, push the bags through the hole, climb over the gate, and transport the rice back to shore. They (Yul/Wendell, Tony, Ben) then cut the bags open with a knife, looking for a ball. Then all three balls must be moved through a maze. Balls placed: Nick-1 (S1), Jeremy drops, Sophie-1 (Y1), Wendell drops, Adam-1 (Y2), Kim drops 2x, Wendell-1 (S2), Sophie-2 (Yara 3!) in a race with Nick. Yara wins, gets PB&J sandwiches, and Sele and Dakal each have to attend Tribal. TC6 - Parvati voted out (3-2), 13 left. TC7 - Sandra idoled out ([0]-1), 12 left. |
Day 17 (June 7) Sandra leaves EoE (Night 16). 
Ep.7 Edge of Extinction
After Sandra departed immediately upon arrival the night before, the Edge residents are told there are four fire tokens scattered around the island, where the trail ends. Tyson finds one (wrapped) just sitting on a rock. After consulting with the others, the remaining three appear to still be unfound. But it turns out Boston Rob found all three, before Tyson even found his first. Ep7 RC: "Ball-istic Missiles" [unaired] - Yara wins, Sele 2nd. |
Day 18 (June 8) 
Ep.7 IC: Dishwalla
As seen in David vs. Goliath (where Nick's Jabeni tribe lost, massively). Contestants must carry a giant dish across obstacles to a water tank, put water in it, carry the dish and water back across the obstacles, and pour the remaining water into a tank. When the tank is full enough, a bag of puzzle pieces drops, and two people (Ben, Sophie; Wendell, Michele; Denise, Jeremy) must complete a circular logo puzzle in the dish. Yara takes only one very slow trip with the dish, and has a slight lead heading into the puzzle. They finish it first. Sele and Dakal are neck-and-neck throughout, and complete the puzzle within seconds of each other. Dakal finishes second, sending Sele to Tribal. TC8 - Yul voted out (3-1), 11 left. |

Then tie sticks together to retrieve a key from behind a gate. (Rob is first through this). Final stage: Snake maze. Order to maze: Rob, Tyson, Nat, Parv, Danni, Yul, Ethan, Amber. (Allegedly) ends up being a tight race between Tyson and Rob. Tyson wins, rejoins the game.

Sarah swaps out of her reward spot for Nick, because it was his birthday the day before. 
Ep.9 advantage: Michele
Upon leaving the reward feast, Michele notices something in her bag. It's a 50-50 coin flip advantage, sent to her by Danni and Parvati at EoE (who found it in the same spot Aubry found an advantage in S38). Free to ask any price for this advantage, Parvati goes for FOUR fire tokens (Michele's entire stash). Michele reluctantly agrees.

Day 27 (June 17) 
Ep.11 Edge of Extinction: Extortion advantage
While gathering wood, Natalie finds a bottle with a note inside on Edge of Extinction. She reads the note with Parvati, it gives them a riddle. For some reason, they climb to the top of the island, before realizing the last line in the riddle refers to their shelter. After waiting all day to retrieve the advantage from under the shelter, Parvati convinces the last stragglers to look at the sunset, while Natalie retrieves the advantage. It's an Extortion advantage: The person they play it against must pay them as many tokens as they ask for (six), or else that person can't compete in the IC or vote at Tribal. They pick Tony, who miraculously meets their price, with help from Jeremy, Nick, and Ben. |
Day 28 (June 18)

Tony talks about controlling the votes throughout the game, winning challenges, finding an idol, and his Spy Nest. Michele touts her ability to stay in the game while working from the bottom the entire game. In the end, the jury awards Tony the $2 million prize, in a 12-4-0 vote, over Natalie and Michele, respectively. Tony wins, 12-4-0. |
