Ep.1 RC: Cube-Bert Sea

Ep.1 RC: Cube-Bert Sea

Ep.1 RC: Cube-Bert Sea

Two contestants (Jake, Annie; MC, Matt; Jawan, Rizo) must run out to untie and bring back two large crates. Two more people (Steven, Sophie; Shannon, Savannah; Alex, Jeremiah) then swim out to a boat (containing more crates) unclip it, and pull it back to shore. Then the entire tribe unloads the remaining crates, and two people (Jason, Kristina; Nate, Sage; Sophi, Nicole) use the crates to build a cube puzzle. Finally, one person (MC, ?, ?) stands on top of the finished puzzle and retrieves a mallet from a pole, then jumps off the cube to hit a bell with the mallet. First tribe to ring their bell wins flint and camp supplies. Results: Kele lags badly on the boat task, Jason and Kristina take a huge lead on the puzzle, and Hina wins easily.

Ep1 RC: "Cube-Bert Sea" - Hina wins.

Ep.1 journey: Fight for Supplies

Ep.1 journey: Fight for Supplies

Alex and Rizo attend. They must race out the peninsula to gather 10 coconuts with their tribe logo. When they have all 10, they open them, releasing puzzle pieces. The puzzle is a map, and reveals the location of a ship's wheel, which they then retrieve, put it on their flagpole, and turn to raise a flag. First to do so wins supplies. Results: Alex is first to finish the puzzle. Alex digs forever, never finds it, giving Rizo time to catch up. Rizo wins!

Ep.1 IC: Baby Snakes

Ep.1 RC/IC: Baby Snakes

Ep.1 IC: Baby Snakes

In pairs, contestants must go through a rope tunnel, through a mud pit under a net, then run into the jungle to untie and haul back a 200-lb serpent, bring it back through the rope tunnel, and put it on a frame. Once all three are back, three people (Sophie, Matt, Jason; Sage, Nate, Rizo; Alex, Nicole, Annie) must maneuever a ball through a horizontal snake track, avoiding obstacles.First tribe to finish wins immunity plus a large tool kit. Second place also wins immunity, plus a hammer and rope. Results: Kele is last to the snake but soon catches up ... but then drops right at the end, as they race Uli for second. Hina wins, Uli is second. Kele loses.

Ep1 RC/IC: "Baby Snakes" - Hina wins, Uli 2nd.

Day 4
(Apr. 23)

Ep.2 journey: Matt, Jake, Jawan

Ep.2 journey: Matt, Jake, Jawan

Ep.2 journey: Matt, Jake, Jawan

Jawan, Matt, Jake attend. Upon arrival, the contestants learn they must throw coconuts into baskets, each marked with one of their names (as in "Nut Bucket"). Once enough coconuts have landed, the basket will be sufficiently heavy to sink, then drop. The goal is to be the person whose basket is last still up. After that, the two losers will leave while the winner will remain to receive an unspecified advantage. Results: Pretty even all around, but Matt's basket drops first, then Jake's. They leave, Jawan opens the bag to find a choice: "Help yourself" (steal either Matt's or Jake's next vote, giving Jawan an extra one) or "Help your tribe" (give a disadvantage to one of the other tribes in the next challenge). We are not shown his choice (tribal disadvantage) until he returns to camp.

← Previous: Ep.1 RC/IC Next: Ep.2 RC/IC →

Ep2 journey: (3-way solo Nut Bucket) - Jawan wins advantage.
Day 5
(Apr. 24)

Ep.2 RC/IC: Mona Lisas and Mad Ladders

Ep.2 RC/IC: Mona Lisas and Mad Ladders

Ep.2 RC/IC: Mona Lisas and Mad Ladders

Sage, Kristina sit out, Contestants must cross an elevated net crawl, a long-step ramp, then dig up a ladder, one person (Sophi, Jason, Savannah) climbs it to retrieve a bag with a key from an overhead bar. Then one person (Jake, Matt, Nate) uses the key(s) to unlock a rope gate, and finally, all must help each other up a steep ramp. Once all are up, two people (Sophi, Alex; Sophie, Jason; Savannah, Nate) must build a two-sided block puzzle. Jawan plays his disadvantage: Every person on that tribe has to cross the course carrying 20 lbs of coconuts on their back, plus they have 10 keys to open a gate. Results: Kele is first by a mile to the puzzle, but the other tribes catch up, and pass Kele easily. Hina wins, gets immunity and large fishing gear kit, Uli is second, gets immunity and less fishing gear.

Ep2 RC/IC: "Mona Lisas and Mad Ladders" - Hina wins, Uli 2nd.

Ep.2 idol: Alex

Ep.2 idol: Alex

Ep.2 idol: Alex

While searching with Jake, Alex finds the Beware advantage package, and they decide to open it. Alex learns he has lost his vote until the idol is recovered, and he can't start the search until his tribe has lost an immunity challenge. (Presumably, this happened Day 4-5). After losing the IC on Day 5, Alex and Jake dig by the well to initiate the search (as instructed), bring in Sophi on the search, and eventually (after Sophi initially finds and re-hides the box) Alex finds the idol box. He opens it, and retrieves a fully powered idol, good until five are left.
