Challenges
Reward/Immunity Challenge: Tow The Line

Each tribe must remember a historical story of Captain James Cook. Tied together as a group, the tribe must make their way over and under logs and through a field of poles, gathering seven answer flags. Once they cross a two-line rope bridge over a pit of water, they must use the seven answer flags collected to solve five questions about the story. The first tribe to answer the five questions correctly wins Immunity and two large tarps as a Reward. The first three tribes to finish win Immunity. If a tribe misses a part of the story, they can go back to the starting line, where a copy of the story was placed there.

Reward: Tribal Immunity and flint for the first three tribes to finish. In addition, the first-placing tribe would win a create full of fire making essentials (firewood, husks, kerosene etc.)

Winners (according to finish): Puka Puka and Rarotonga tied for first, while Manihiki placed third.
