Reward
Challenge: Styx

Teams have to place poles of varying lengths into their holders to form a staircase, and then run up it. Then, they would then make their way through a multistory wooden maze. Once every team member had made it through the maze, one member would have to retrieve a key and use it to unlock a box of puzzle pieces. Two other team members would then have to use the puzzle pieces to solve a puzzle, which displayed three numbers. They then have to use the three numbers to unlock a combination that would enable them to raise their flag. The first team to raise their flag wins.

Reward: Trip to a Survivor spa

Winner:

Immunity
Challenge: Bermuda Triangles

The castaways would stand on slanted slats on a podium over the water. At regular intervals, they would move up to a higher set of slats, making it harder to balance. After 30 minutes, the castaways would move to the top of the podium. After another 20 minutes, any remaining castaways will have to balance on one foot, where the last person left standing wins immunity.

Additional Stipulation: At some point during the challenge, castaways will have the opportunity to have an advantage in the game, by forfeiting the challenge and jumping off their pedestals in order to race to their buoys. First to reach their buoy gets the advantage, which is secret (later revealed as the ability to "steal a vote" at any Tribal Council).

Winner: ( won the advantage)

Voting Confessionals
"orkun"

- (voting for Ciera) I’m voting for you because it’s part of the plan. I just hope it works.

"orkun"

- (voting for Kelley) Sorry, girl.

"orkun"

- (voting for Kelly) I really hope this plan works. There’s only room for one Kell(e)y on this island.

Final Words
"orkun"

- I didn’t hope to go out this early. I know I was voted out because I’m a threat. I mean, I figured the three girls were gonna vote for me. It’s the two other votes that I kind of suspect. I hope it wasn’t Joe. It’s a much different game this time than it was last time. It’s not really my style, so… they can have at it. (chuckles)

Life at Ponderosa
Kelly gets her customary post-game weigh-in where she lost 15 lbs. While on her way to Ponderosa, she says just like in her first season, she came for the experience and not to win the money. When she arrives to Ponderosa, Kass McQuillen and Andrew Savage warmly welcome her with open arms. She takes a shower and than sits down to eat a bacon cheeseburger and fries. She reveals to Kass and Andrew that her birthday will be tomorrow. Kelly states she is glad that Kass and Andrew are speaking to each other.

The next day, on her birthday, Kelly relaxes on the beach and does some jogging and yoga.
