Borneo

 * "Quest For Fire" - Tagi took an early lead, but while approaching to shore, Sonja slipped and caused her tribe's raft to stumble and Pagong took home the victory.
 * "Buried Treasure"
 * "Shipwrecked"
 * "Abandoned Barracks"
 * "Out on a Limb"
 * "Walk the Plank"

Australian Outback

 * "Bridging the Gap"
 * "Butch Cassidy" - Both tribes were even as one by one each tribe member took a leap of faith from the cliff to the water with no problem. But Kucha fell behind when Rodger stood for a long time having a fear of heights. After some encouragement from his tribe mates, Rodger finally jumped off the cliff and dove to the water, but then had trouble swimming fast. Rodger's struggles gave the reward to Ogakor.
 * "Tucker'd Out" - The first round between Maralyn and Michael involves mangrove worm. Maralyn and Michael finished it. The next round between Kimmi and Keith involves cow brains. Keith did it with ease, but Kimmi, being a vegetarian for 14 years, refused to eat it and Kucha's down by a point. The next round between Jerri and Nick involved shellfish. Nick finished with no problem and Jerri swallowed it with time to spare. The next round was no contest when Elisabeth and Kel earned the apple. The next round between Jeff and Mitchell involved witchetty grub. Mitchell and Jeff finished it at the same time. The next round between Alicia and Amber involved brown grasshoppers. Alicia and Amber finished it with no problems. The next round was no contest when Rodger and Colby earned the candy bar. In the final round, Michael was up again, this time facing Tina. The final round involved tripe (cow stomach). Michael was able to swallow it down, but Tina had serious trouble swallowing it. Finally, Tina threw up resulting in a tie-breaker round. Kucha chose Tina and Ogakor chose Kimmi. Their challenge is to take a whole mangrove worm. Kimmi's spirits were high as she redeemed herself by swallowing the mangrove worm before Tina, winning immunity for Kucha.
 * "Lock Step" - Both tribes found themselves even through the frist two obstacles beofre Kucha took the lead. With Kucha heading down the final stretch, it soon became clear that how fast their oldest tribemember could go affected how fast the entire tribe can go. Rodger faltered prompting his tribe mates to help him up, giving Ogakor a chance to close the gap. But it was all for naught when Maralyn stumbled costing her tribe the challenge.
 * "Triage"
 * "The Maze"
 * "Blind Leading The Blind" - The tribe found themselves neck-and-neck through the first two stations. Ogakor took the lead after their wine barrel overflowed. But a blindfolded Amber veered off track struggling to hear Jerri and Kucha passed Amber and won reward.
 * "Fire and Water"
 * "End of the Line"
 * "Fugitives" - When Keith answered all five questions correctly, he carried five unlocked locks back to start. But when he arrived, he discovered that he only had four. It turns out that dropped a lock while running back. As Keith ran to find his lost lock (ran past it), Colby arrived at the last minute and won his third immunity challenge in a row.

Africa

 * "Trail Blazer"
 * "Stairway to the Stars" - Both tribes were even throughout the whole challenge, until during the final stretch, Samburu pulled away from Boran when Kim J. tripped and fell to the ground costing Boran dearly.
 * "Caught in the Web"
 * "Spear-it Hunt" - Samburu took an early lead and each time Boran tied up the score, Samburu would regain the lead. With the score tied at 3, Big Tom nailed the fourth target leaving Samburu one target away from Immunity. But one round later, Kim P.'s shot fell short of reaching the final target opening the door for Boran, yet Teresa missed the fourth target. But Kim J. nailed the fourth target tying the score up yet again. Lindsey had a chance to win it for Samburu, but her shot came up short. It all came down to Brandon and Ethan. The next target hit would win immunity. Brandon's shot came inches short of reaching the final target. Taking a precise aim, Ethan fired his arrow and it was a direct hit, giving Boran a come-from-behind win.
 * "Light it Up" - Frank made a fatal error when his branch accidentally touched the string which only the fire would burn, thus disqualifying him.

Marquesas

 * "Outrigger Fire Quest"
 * "Marquesan Menu"
 * "Coconut Maze Race"
 * "Tiki Towers"
 * "Jungle Relay"
 * "The Maze"
 * "Second Chance" - Paschal got completely stuck dealing with tiki pieces.
 * "Marquesan Folklore" - Kathy and Neleh arrived back to the start at the same time, but Probst told them they dropped a piece somewhere. Kathy found her lost piece first while Neleh couldn't find hers allowing Kathy to grab Immunity.

Thailand

 * "Flying Your Flag" - Chuay Gahn took an early lead right from the start with great paddling rhythm while Sook Jai's younger members got anxious slowing their boat down. Chuay Gahn increased their lead when Penny kept hitting dead ends at the rope maze. Chuay Gahn kept their lead large after Brian unhooked the second flag from underwater. It appeared to be a blowout when Chuay Gahn arrived at the final station and Sook Jai only arrived at the second station. But just when it looked like that Chuay Gahn would never look back, disaster struck. Ghandia had major troubles with the sliding puzzle as she struggled to slide the pieces around to get the largest piece with a knife through the slot, allowing Sook Jai to close the gap. With Chuay Gahn's lead dwindling fast, Sook Jai finally arrived and Jed caught up to Ghandia. With Ghandia still stuck, Jed easily solved the sliding puzzle and got the knife to cut the rope releasing Sook Jai's third and final flag, giving Sook Jai their first lead while Ghandia continued to flounder. Ghandia finally completed the puzzle, but it was too little, too late as Sook Jai made a dramatic come-from-behind win to win Immunity.
