Challenges

• Reward
• Immunity

Challenge: Boats, Brains & Brawn
The tribes will hop on a raft and paddle out to two pontoons, collecting three rings at each pontoon. They will paddle back to shore and one member will attempt to land six rings on targets that are situated progressively further from the contestants. The rings, when hooked, will eventually spell out "REWARD". The first tribe to spell out "REWARD" wins.
Reward: A trip to the Survivor candy shop
Additional Stipulation: Each member of the winning tribe will enter the candy shop alone, taking as much as they want from a shared portion of candy. The tribe must unanimously decide amongst themselves the order in which each member will eat.
Winner: Brains

Challenge: Discy Business
Standing on their own balance beam, all members of the tribe will pull on a rope to hold up a disc. They will each stack a ball on poles of progressively taller heights on the disc. If anybody falls off their balance beam or any ball falls off the pole, they must start over. The first tribe to stack six balls wins.
Additional Stipulation: After finding the VIP Ticket advantage at the reward, Cara was allowed to select two members of the winning tribe to attend and vote at the losers' Tribal Council, without being eligible to receive votes themselves.
Winner: Brains

Voting Confessionals

Andrew was shown writing down Dani's name. Chelsea's confessional was aired during Simon's final words.

	Simon	“	(voting against Flick) Flick, in this game, you cannot afford to make mistakes, and whether it was your mistake or my mistake to trust you in the first place, I guess we'll never find out. But I hope this is the nail in your coffin.	”

	Chelsea	“	(voting against Simon) Sorry Sim, you're too much of a threat.	”

	Flick	“	(voting against Simon) So, I'm voting for you Simon. I even put two X's next to the name so you know who it's from.	”

	Hayley	“	(voting against Dani) Dani, thanks for doing all the legwork on this blindside against Simon. I'll take the reins now.	”

Final Words

	Simon	“	Oh, that is absolutely heartbreaking to be the first person in Australian Survivor to go home with not one, but two idols in my pocket. That one really hurts. Dani and Chelsea flipping on me, maybe they did throw the challenge today and they made the most of the opportunity to get rid of a massive threat when the time was right. Unfortunately, you can't trust anyone in the game of Survivor. Take it from me.	”
