Challenges
Reward=Challenge: Race for Fire Tribe members will race at sea to a platform full of supplies ranging from food to survival items. The tribes then have to decide which items to take with them to camp and place them in their canoe. Once they have picked their items, the tribes will paddle their way to a farther platform where a torch is waiting. The dilemma is if whether or not tribes will stay at the first platform gathering as much items as they can or race to get fire. The first tribe to take hold of the torch wins it. Reward: A lit torch to make fire with. Winner: |-|Immunity=Challenge: Yank Your Hank Six members from each tribe would race across a series of three wooden A-frames and a series of stumps which they will have to use planks to traverse. At the end of the course, the six would use the rope to pull a heavy wooden crate containing puzzle pieces to a finish platform. The two remaining tribe members would collect the puzzle pieces to assemble it. The first two tribes to solve the puzzle ("Outwit, Outplay, Outlast") would win immunity and reward. Additional Stipulation: If Vavau and/or Aganoa wins the challenge, they will receive flint. Winners (in order of finish): and
