Challenges[]

Immunity Challenge: Nut Cracker
The castaways would play a variation of Tee-ball with the men competing against the men and the women against the women. The playing field would be divided into sections with different point values. Each castaway would take one swing at the ball. Wherever the ball comes to a stop would be that castaway's score. The two castaways, one man and one woman, with the highest score would win immunity.
Winners: John Fincher and Laura Morett

Voting Confessionals[]

No voting confessionals were shown in the episode. Russell H. was shown writing Erik's name on the parchment. Jaison did not give a confessional.

Dave
(voting against Erik) Erik, I'm voting for you because you are aggressive, you are unpredictable and I don't know whether I can trust you or not.
Monica
(voting against Erik) You are arrogant, cocky, machismo and bossy. I couldn't have planned a better and more timely exit for you myself. I can't believe I considered even trusting you. The fact that you think that I am the female version of you is insulting and disgusts me. I have no respect for you. Goodbye, Erik.
John
(voting against Erik) As far as I'm concerned, this vote doesn't count. This happened at the last literally ten minutes and I didn't have the power to stop it. Everyone else is voting for you and so I have to too, but I think you did your job just like you said you would.
Laura
(voting against Erik) Sorry, E. But your own paranoia was your demise. The minute you turned against Galu and went against the girls, you had to go.
Natalie
(voting against Erik) Erik, I'm voting for you and I really hope everybody does what they say they're gonna do.
Mick
(voting against Erik) You're a hell of a competitor man and, uh, a slightly more decent guy than I gave credit for initially. But almost your entire tribe asked us to do this. And at this point, we kind of have to go with the flow in order for us to stay in the game. So, sayonara.
Russell H.
(voting against Erik) Don't think I know what the-don't think I don't know what y'all doing. This is the best blindside that ever happened.
Erik
(voting against Jaison) J-gone! I didn't say anything to say about that.
Shambo
(voting against Jaison) Jaison...
Brett
(voting against Erik) Erik, you're an insane competitor and unfortunately, it sounds like the entire tribe has decided to vote you out. It's nothing personal. I saw you and I going to the end together and, you know, wish you the best.
Kelly
(voting against Erik) I wanted to trust you, but I think you had us all fooled. Sorry.


Final Words[]

Erik
Wow. Wow. Wow. I'm disappointed, but I said playing Survivor would be looking into a mirror and I'm pretty proud of the face I see. I don't regret going home with the idol, 'cause you can't defend against something that's invisible, and this blindside was invisible to me. But I gave 100% of my heart, and I can hang my hat on that.
