Challenges

• Reward
• Immunity

Challenge: Boulder Dash
Both tribes will have nine members maneuver a large boulder through a series of gates and then on top of a bridge. Afterwards, two tribe members will then get on top of the boulder to get from one high platform to another. On the second platform, they will then throw rings onto pegs in order to release a ramp. The first tribe to get their boulder up the ramp and into the holes wins.
Reward: Chairs, a hammock, sheets, lanterns, candles, and a tarp.
Winner: Samatau

Challenge: Raft and the Furious
Each tribe will paddle a raft out past a series of crates to a moor. They will have one member swim out and dive down and untie a series of knots to get a key. They will then need to paddle back to shore and use the key to unlock a chest containing bamboo. Using the bamboo, they will construct a tower around a pole. The first tribe to build a tower higher than their pole and stays up for five seconds wins.
Winner: Asaga

Voting Confessionals

Tessa and Tara's confessionals were shown in the episode. Mark H. did not say anything when he voted. AK's confessional was shown at the end of the episode. Full transcripts retrieved from Tenplay.

	Jarrad	“	(voting against Kate) Sorry, Kate. I love you, but you're backing the wrong horse this time.	”

	Tessa	“	(voting against Tara) Try telling Adam you didn't flip.	”

	Locky	“	(voting against Kate) I guess Tarzan is a miracle worker.	”

	Kate	“	(voting against Tara) Tara, you're a great girl but I'm showing my alliance to Tessa tonight.	”

	Anneliese	“	(voting against Tessa) I really like you, but you never once tried to work with me.	”

	AK	“	(voting against Kate) I don't trust you the second you said "I don't eat fast food".	”

	Ziggy	“	(voting against Tessa) In case I didn't make it clear enough last time with my vote, I'm definitely not in your alliance anymore. So I'm splitting with you and Kate.	”

	Tara	“	(voting against Tessa) I didn't flip.	”

	Aimee	“	(voting against Tessa) Tessa, sorry babe but it's just who I'm voting.	”

	Peter	“	(voting against Kate) This is just to keep the core alliance strong.	”

Final Words

	Kate	“	How am I feeling now? Um- oh, disappointed. My ambition on Survivor was top three, not bottom three. I was surprised Tess came out so strongly, but I think she did that because she honestly believed she was going home and I wasn't. I think Tessa will be the Sole Survivor, I think she is physically strong, mentally strong, so I- I think she's really one to watch.	”
