Challenges

• Reward
• Immunity

Challenge: Wound Out
Split into two teams of five, each member will slide down into the water and race to maneuver one ring each through a rope and across an obstacle course. Members will then aim to land their rings on a ring toss. The first team to land all five rings wins.
Reward: Letters from home, as well as tea to share at camp.
Additional Stipulation: The odd player out will choose one of the teams to root for at the challenge, and if that team wins, they would also win reward.
Winner: Yellow Team (El Rowland, Kylie Evans, Lee Carseldine, Nick Iadanza, and Sam Webb) (since Kristie Bennett guessed the winning team correctly, she joined on the reward; El and Kristie gave up their reward to Flick Egginton and Matt Tarrant)

Challenge: Get a Grip
The castaways must hold onto their poles for as long as possible. If they touch the ground at any point in time, they are out of the challenge. As an additional stipulation, the final three castaways remaining were asked to drop to the final rung of the pole before continuing the challenge.
Winner: Kylie Evans

Voting Confessionals

	Sam	“	(voting against Nick) You're a snake in every aspect of the word, and I'm very, very happy that you're leaving the game and not me.	”

	Nick	“	(voting against Sue) (loudly) Suey, I'm voting for you for old time's sake!	”

Final Words

	Nick	“	This game is so brutal. It's so brutal. I cannot believe I'm the first member of the jury. A huge milestone that everyone wants to achieve, I get to set the tone for what the jury is like, and don't worry, I will be setting the tone. You can't get rid of me this easy, I will be on that bench, and I will be holding them accountable. Not only at the end, but every single Tribal.	”
