In pairs, contestants run out, dive under a muddy net, retrieve a chest, and haul it back. Once all three chest are back, three people go back out to climb a ramp and retrieve a key. The keys unlock the chests, one of which has has three sandbags, which one person at a time (Thomas/Star/Shauhin ; ?; ?) must land on three overhead platforms. Purple (Lagi) lands all three before the other tribes get their chests open, win camp supplies (pot, flint).
Head-to-head race for supplies, as in Survivor 47. Kyle and Kevin volunteer. They must follow a rope in a path to a machete (and a coconut with a key). They must get the key out, run to the beach, get a pot down from a bamboo log, fill the pot with water, and use it to fill a glass jar, raising the water level to float a second key up to the top, which they use to unlock the camp supplies. It's close, but Kyle accidentally breaks his glass jug. He decides to help Kevin with the rest. Kevin wins for Vula.
Ep1 journey: "Fight for Supplies" - Kevin wins supplies for Vula.
Day 2
(June 28)
Ep.1 idol: Sai
Hunting with Justin on Day 1, Sai found the Beware Advantage package, which contained a cylindrical puzzle box unlocked with a 6-letter code, which contains an idol. The box came with a clue, which was a series of six colored numbers. On Day 2, Sai recruited help from Justin, Kevin, and Cedrek to try to open the box. Eventually, Sai realizes the colors on the numbers match the colors of animals painted on various spots around the camp. The matching numbers are for the letter in that position. Writing out the six letters, Cedrek immediately sees the answer: LISTEN. Sai uses that, opens the box, and removes a fully powered idol, good until final five.
Contestants must cross a net obstacle and tunnel, then one person (Joe, David, Kevin) will smash through a mask using a Fijian war club. Doing so releases a key, which they use to unlock a sled. They must drag the sled to the end of the course, over sandbags, and up a ramp, where finally, two people (Charity, Kamilla; Bianca, Thomas; Kevin, Stephanie) remove the puzzle pieces inside to build a logo puzzle. First and second tribes to finish receive Survivor tool kits and immunity. Results: Lagi has a huge lead, wins easily. Vula is last to the puzzle, but catches up, and is in a tight race on the puzzle. Civa takes second, Vula loses. In addition to the tool kit, Civa wins their flint & tribe supplies.
Mary, Mitch, Thomas attend, after being given specific instructions at each camp about picking the attendee (throwing 1-5 fingers, with lowest unique number winning). Three separate paths, each has a puzzle. Slide puzzle with numbers 1 to 15 in three rows. Standard rules: Advantage if they finish in time, lost vote if they don't. Mitch does it! Thomas does it! Mary does not. Thomas gets a steal-a-vote. Mitch gets a block-a-vote. Mary loses her vote.
Ep2 journey: Mitch, Thomas win advantages; Mary loses vote.
Kyle gets Civa idol.
Day 5

Ep.2 RC/IC: Looks that Keel
Star, Kamilla sit out. One person (Mary, David, Shauhin) jumps off a high platform, swims under a dock, releases two buoys, then cross a net obstacle, go to the final dock. In pairs, remaining four must carry the buoys with two poles while crossing floating balance beams, then transport it to the final dock. Finally, someone (Joe, Eva; Kyle, Mitch; ?) must shoot five buoys into a floating basket. Winning tribes get fishing gear + immunity. Results: Cedrek has trouble on the balance beam. Shots made: Eva-3, Mitch-5 - Civa wins!, Joe-4,5. Cedrek and Kevin never are able to move their buoy across. Sai/Justin left waiting at the end.

Ep.3 RC/IC: Blind Melon
Bianca, Eva; Kyle, Charity sit out. One person (Shauhin, Cedrek, Kamilla) is the caller, remaining three tribemates (one solo - Joe, Mary, David; the other two tethered) are blindfolded, and must collect three keys from a set of obstacles (under a dunking tank, in a pile of sawdust, on a spool of rope). Once all three keys are retrieved, the caller leads the three to a slide puzzle, which one blindfolded person (Mitch, Thomas, Mary) works, after the caller unlocks it with the keys. Results: Civa leads, Lagi second heading into the puzzle. Lagi wins (also gets tarp and hammocks)! Civa is second, gets smaller tarp. Vula is last again.
Kamilla, Bianca, Justin attend. Players must roll seven dice. Dice can show skulls, flames, or neutral designs. There are four slots for skulls, four for flames, and any dice that show either of those must be placed in the slots, Players keep rolling until they get four of either skulls or flames. Kamilla earns an extra vote. Bianca and Justin lose theirs.

Day 8
(July 4)
Ep.4 tribe swap
Contestants are told to drop their buffs and select new ones from a single tray of wrapped buffs. New tribes are as follows. Vula: Joe, Kamilla, Kyle, Shauhin, Thomas. Civa: Bianca, Cedrek, Chrissy, Mitch, Sai. Lagi: Charity, David, Eva, Mary, Star. No challenge or journey, they just head off to their respective camps.
First challenge with new tribes. Tribes must unload heavy sandbags from a large cube, pile them on a platform, then roll the cube so that one person (Kyle, Mitch, Eva) can climb and release two sandbags from an overhead frame. One person (Shauhin, David/Eva/David, MItch) must toss the sandbags through a wooden frame (without knocking it over) to land on a barrel. Once complete, the tribe must dig up a large puzzle piece from a sand pit, and three people (Kyle, Joe, Thomas; Eva, Charity, David; Sai, Bianca, Mitch) must complete a three-layer temple puzzle. First two tribes to do so win immunity + fresh fruit. Results: New Lagi struggles on the sandbag toss, but eventually completes it, as Vula gets out to a big lead, starts the puzzle first. They think they've won, then notice some pieces are out of place. As they try to recover, Lagi finishes their puzzle, then Civa. With all new people, Vula loses again.
Charity; Sai sit out. Contestants must take turns tossing sandbags at a spinning target, lowering it, eventually releasing three balls, which must be bounced off a trampoiline into a small basket. (Bounces landed: Mary, Shauhin, Kamilla, Star, David, Mitch, Shauhin, Mitch, Mitch. Once all three are landed, they must be rolled on a flat skee-ball track to land in three separate raised targets. Winners get pastries at the Sanctuary (1st place) or in camp (2nd). Rolls placed: Eva, Shauhin, David, David - Lagi wins! Shauhin, Kyle - Vula second! Civa loses.
Star, Cedrek sit out. Contestants start on dock, swim to shore while pulling a boat. Once to shore, they lift a heavy chrst out of it, haul it to a platform. There they must unbraid three ropes attached to sandbags to release a key, the key unlocks the chest, releasing a bag of balls. They must take the balls, dig under a log, then each person must roll a ball through a table maze and place it at the end. Results: Lagi first to maze, then Vula and Civa, but nobody has any balls placed once all are on the maze. Vula lands four balls to Civa's one (Lagi zero), so Vula wins! Eva places the last ball for Lagi, Lagi second. Civa loses again.
After their IC non-loss, Eva discusses her autism with her tribe, prompting Star (who also has family members on the spectrum) to want to work with Eva. So Star tells the new Lagi members about her Beware idol, and they go around the camp decoding all the clues. They eventually assemble the correct letters (LISTEN), and Eva tries various combinations, until eventually finding the right one (SILENT). Star lets Eva keep the idol, because she opened it.
