Ep.1 RC - Fire or supplies

Ep.1 RC - Fire or supplies

Ep.1 RC - Fire or supplies

Held immediately upon arrival, after tribal divisions are announced. Contestants must race out into the water to a floating dock, where there's one torch and a fire. First person to light the torch wins fire for their tribe. But there's a dilemma: Halfway there is another dock loaded with supplies. How much do they take before going for fire? All eight tribemembers must be on their raft before they can leave. Blue tribe (Saanapu) is first to leave, followed by yellow (Vavau), while one of red (Aganoa) tribe's canoes fills with water. Peter, Sam, Craig, Kate swim ahead of the rafts. Sam gets to the raft first, Saanapu wins.

Ep1 RC: (Fire or supplies) - Saanapu wins.
Day 2
(May 24)

Ep.1 IC: Obstacles, puzzle

Ep.1 IC: Obstacles, cubes, tiki puzzle

Ep.1 IC: Obstacles, puzzle

Six runners per tribe cross two A-frames and a net, then release a rope, then maneuver three planks on posts to make a plank bridge. Then they must haul the rope to pull a heavy chest across the course. Two puzzle makers (Des, Kat; Andrew, Sue; Matt, Flick) then open the chest and use the pieces inside to solve a puzzle (which spells OUTWIT, OUTPLAY, OUTLAST). Results: Vavau first, Aganoa last to the puzzle. Saanapu wins immunity + flint. Vavau is second, also gets immunity + flint. Aganoa loses.

Ep.2 RC/IC: Sacrificial lambs

Ep.2 RC/IC: Sacrificial lambs

Ep.2 RC/IC: Sacrificial lambs

Sue, Peter sit out. Two members from each tribe (Brooke, Conner; Kate, Tegan; El, Lee) are shackled and tethered to a rope, as sacrificial lambs. One at a time, their tribe must carry them through, over, and under an obstacle course. Once both are at the end, they are untied, then they use a key to unlock clubs to smash through a hitching post, releasing a box of sandbags, which they must throw to knock down a group of blocks on a table. First two tribes to do so win immunity and reward: fishing gear kit (1st) or lines and hooks (2nd). Results: Order to sandbag tossing: Saanapu, Vavau, Aganoa, all three tribes switch to one person throwing (Lee, Kate, Conner). Kate wins it for Vavau, Lee secures second for Aganoa, barely ahead of Saanapu.

Ep.3 dilemma: Honesty vs. Deceit

Ep.3 dilemma: Honesty vs. Deceit

Ep.3 dilemma: Honesty vs. Deceit

Each tribe is told to select their "wisest" player (who then selects another) to make a decision for the tribe. Saanapu picks Peter (who takes Kylie). They must choose between "Honesty" - a large bag of beans for the tribe - or "Deceit," a small bag plus an idol clue. They choose Deceit. Aganoa sends Rohan + Phoebe, they choose Deceit. Nick & Tegan also do so. Rohan drops his clue, Evan finds it in camp.

← Previous: Ep.2 RC/IC Next: Ep.3 RC →

Ep3 dilemma: (Honesty v. Deceit) - Three idol clues handed out.

Ep.3 RC: Canoes, block tower

Ep.3 RC: Canoes, block tower

Ep.3 RC: Canoes, block tower

Tegan sits out. Tribes must paddle a canoe out past four buoys, then on the way back, attach a rope to each one. Once back to the beach, they must haul in the rope, bringing in the buoys with bags of blocks attached to them. They must then use the blocks to build a tall tower. First tribe to do so wins comfort items (chairs, tarp, hammock, pillows, blanket). Second wins a tarp. Results: Saanapu, Vavau race for first, with Aganoa a distant third. Vavau wins, and Aganoa starts catching up to Saanapu, Sam knocks the top of Saanapu's tower over. Rohan places Aganoa's last block, their tower wobbles and falls. Eventually, Saanapu is second.

Andrew sits out. As seen in S3: Africa. Each tribe has five runners and two puzzle-makers (Kat, Evan; Nick, Sue; Matt, Peter). Runners must race, relay-style, across a ramp and net, then climb to untie a bag containing a puzzle piece, then race back. Once all 8 bags are retrieved, puzzle makers must solve the (vertical) puzzle. Results: Order to puzzle - Vavau, Saanapu, Aganoa. Vavau wins, Saanapu 2nd.
