Notes: ^1 This Reward Challenge saw an individual of each tribe battle for a reward item. The winner of each battle kept the reward for their tribe. ^2 As part of the reward, the Champions were told to pick a Contender to join them. They selected Paige. ^3 A Hidden Immunity Idol was played successfully, negating the votes against its user. ^4 Instead of being permanently being eliminated from the game, these two castaways would compete in a duel to determine who would be eliminated, with the other reentering the game.
