Day 1 (Sep. 20) 
Ep.1 RC: Slide, scramble
Held immediately upon arrival. In head-to-head matchups, players must slide down a water slide, scramble under a net, then throw sandbags at a bell. First to ring the bell wins the chance to select a camp item for their tribe (so both tribes can theoretically win) - tarps, food, flint, champagne, and a mysterious locked box. Rd.1: Rob d. David (picks box). Rd.2: George d. Tommi (flint). Rd.3: Kirby d. Parvati (fruit basket). Rd.4: Luke d. Tony (tarp). Rd.5: Cirie d. Sarah (comfort items). Rd.6: Kass d. Janine (coffee & tea). Rd.7: Lisa d. Shonee (champagne). World technically wins, 4-3. (But in reality, both tribes won.) |
Day 2 (Sep. 21) 
Ep.1 IC: Stairs, blocks, slingshots
Tribe must work together to haul a heavy staircase along the course, then use it to climb over a wall. Then they must roll six heavy boxes to build a second staircase, and finally two people (David, Luke; Rob, Tony) must climb that to shoot a slingshot from a tower, to break eight tiles. Results: World leads until they bicker about how to get the sixth block into place. Aussie passes them, with David almost lifting the final block himself. Tiles broken: Luke-1,2, Tony-1,2, David-1, Luke-3, Tony-3, David-2,3, Tony-4, Luke-4, David-4. Australia wins! (8-4) TC1 - Rob voted out (6-1), 13 left. |

| Day 3 (Sep. 22) 
Ep.2 idol: Luke
Luke is one of many people looking for the Aussie idol (individually), but on Morning 3, he actually finds it. After celebrating, he decides to tell nobody else about it, to preserve its power. |
Day 4 (Sep. 23) 
Ep.2 IC: Battering ram, blocks
Shonee sits out. Tribes must use a heavy battering ram to smash through a wall of blocks, pass through a keyhole, then transport blocks across a bridge and up to a high shelf. Then one person at a time (Tony/Tommi/Tony; David) will toss sandbags to knock them off. First tribe to knock off all their blocks wins immunity. Results: World has a lead heading into the brigde segment, and extends it as Aussie drops a pair of blocks. World has around half their blocks down before Aussie starts throwing, but Luke gets on a hot streak, and they're tied with 5 blocks each left. Then Tony gets hot, and pulls it out for World. World wins. TC2 - David voted out (3-3-1; 3-2), 12 left. |
