Challenges
Reward Challenge: Knock-Out Competing in pairs, the Survivors would have to race in a four-stage obstacle course. Each stage was designed to eliminate players. In the first stage, the castaways had to pair up, with the remaining player instantly eliminated. Then the pairs had to negotiate their way across towers using two wooden planks to bridge the gaps. The first two pairs to successfully make it across would move on to the next stage, a belly crawl under a bamboo course. The first three Survivors to finish the belly crawl would move on to the third stage, a wall climb in which they had to use the aid of another competitor to help each other over. First two to climb over the wall would move on to the final stage, a race along a bamboo balance beam. First person to complete the balance beam and cross the finish line would win.

Reward:A trip to the mainland for an elephant trek through the Thai jungle, along with an authentic Thai lunch. Winner: Brian

Immunity Challenge: Snuff It This Challenge tested the Survivors' knowledge of Thai culture, as each castaway had to answer a multiple-choice or true-or-false question. Each tribe member who answered a question correctly was permitted to snuff out a competitor's torch. The Survivor left with a lit torch would win.

Winner: Helen

- Well, I guess I wasn't ready to leave the game but I guess in a weird sort of way it was a nice compliment to see that I was seen as a threat. I came out here knowing I was one of sixteen and just wanted to see how far I could get in the game. To know that I was able to accomplish that really does sit well with me. I am very proud of myself.

Trivia

 * The torches used in the Immunity Challenge were actually the contestants' torches that they bring every Tribal Council.
