Challenges

• Reward
• Immunity

Challenge: Flags
Castaways will have to race out to grab an idol. The catch is there is one less idol than the number of castaways per round and the person who does not grab an idol is eliminated. This will repeat until two remain, where the first person to grab the idol and return to the start line wins.
Reward: Ultimate Survivor spa
Winner: Mat Rogers (shared with Fenella McGowan and Sharn Coombes)

Challenge: Last Gasp
The players must swim under a steel grate and stay above the water. As the tide rises, player will run out of breathing room. If the fear of drowning is too much, that person can bail out. The last person still under the grate wins the challenge.
Winner: Mat Rogers

Voting Confessionals

	Benji	“	(voting against Samuel) I wanted to go far with you bro, but you gotta make the big move, man. I would've been down if you didn't throw my name under the bus, so... have fun at Jury Villa.	”

	Mat	“	(voting against Samuel) Sam, it's the hardest vote I've had to cast. If Lydia stayed in the game, it would've killed all of us. And- um, I just- I can't believe that you didn't see that. You gave that information away when you shouldn't have. And, sorry man, I can't bring you to that in this game. But I'll see you on the flip side.	”

Final Words

	Samuel	“	Obviously it's a blow to leave the game, but- uh, I'm happy with how I played. I made one small mistake and it came back to bite me real hard. People are definitely scared that Mat will go all the way and steamroll any opposition. Mat's super strong, super quick, he's got all these solid alliances. But y'know, hats off to Mat, he's playing it really well. And y'know, I really want to see him in the finals.	”
