Challenges
Immunity Challenge: Master Mind

The tribes are given two identical giant-sized puzzles made up of several wooden squares that slide within a bigger square. The object is to slide the giant puzzle pieces around the game board to reveal a map leading to the reward. The first tribe to complete their puzzle wins.

Reward: Live chickens  Winner: Kucha

Immunity Challenge: True or Falls

The tribes meet at a large flat rock overlooking Herbert Falls, across from Tribal Council, where they play against each other in a quiz game testing their knowledge of the environment. The first tribe to answer the most questions correctly wins.

Winner: Kucha

Day 10
As Day 10 begins, Keith and Tina talk strategy. They are concerned about Jerri's comments at the last tribal council, in which she named Amber, Colby, and Mitchell as her closest friends on the tribe. Keith and Tina worry that they are the outsiders, and that it's time to shake things up. "I didn't come up here to be pushed around by a bartender wannabe actress," says a miffed Keith.

Day 11
The reward challenge, a jigsaw puzzle, promises three chickens and a rooster for the winning tribe. The Ogakors argue with each other and can't seem to get much done, while Kucha works together more smoothly and wins the reward. Most of the Kucha tribe is glad to have the chickens, but Kimmi, a vegetarian, is repulsed. Mike, too, is worried because his food-catching skills are no longer as important with the chickens around, making him less valuable to the tribe. Meanwhile, a mini-forest fire has broken out near Ogakor camp, worrying the tribe. Fortunately, the fire can't cross the river, so the camp remains safe. Tina talks to Colby about Jerri. She calls Jerri "the most bossy, domineering person I've ever met." Colby agrees with Tina's concerns. He doesn't like Jerri's decision to boot Keith next, because he feels the tribe needs Keith. Tina says she and Keith may be able to strike an alliance with Colby. Jerri chats with Amber and Mitchell. She is a little worried that Colby might jump ship on their alliance, but that she'll make sure it doesn't happen. Later, she makes sure Colby is still tight with her. "It's not like you're making a deal with the devil here," she reassures him.

At Kucha, the tribe agrees to eat their first chicken. Kimmi makes it a point to leave camp before the killing. The rest of the tribe chows down on the chicken. Mike, though, is still determined to make himself useful. Suddenly he sees a pig race past camp, and he's quickly on the hunt. Mike traps the pig and kills it with the spear. Mike feels victorious. The rest of the tribe is impressed with Mike's hunting skill, but a little grossed out at the bloody scene. Kimmi, in particular, is disgusted. Later, the tribe happily feasts on the pig.

Day 12
For the immunity challenge, castaways are quizzed one by one on facts about Australia. The tribe with the most correct answers wins. Kucha's Alicia, after missing her first three questions, finally beats Mitchell in the tiebreaker. Kucha wins its third straight immunity. A demoralized Ogakor goes back to Tribal Council. Jerri, Amber, and Mitchell think it's a foregone conclusion that Keith will be going home. But a Tribal Council shocker throws them for a loop. The three of them vote for Keith, only to find that Colby, Keith, and Tina have teamed up to vote for Mitchell. It's a 3-3 tie. Everyone but Keith and Mitchell vote again, but the result is another tie. Jeff announces the deadlock tiebreaker rule: whoever has the most votes from previous tribal councils will be booted. Keith has zero votes. Mitchell has one (from Keith at the previous tribal council). That vote makes all the difference, and a stunned Mitchell has his torch snuffed.

Voting Confessionals (first vote)
''Keith and Colby's confessionals are only available on DVD. Amber and Jerri's first confessionals are currently unavailable.'' "ogakor"

- Keith. You add tension at times.

"ogakor"

- This is not my original intention to vote. Let the games begin.

Voting Confessionals (revote)
''Colby did not have a second confessional. Amber's second confessional is currently unavailable.'' "ogakor"

- Mitchell, I promised you from the very beginning that I would not vote for you and I'll stay true to that promise.

"ogakor"

- This game isn't easy. I didn't come out here to starve myself and face the elements to keep the weakest person.
