Challenge: Catch of the Day

Reward: A river cruise lunch.
Winners: Yellow Team (Denise Stapley, Jeff Kent, Jonathan Penner, Lisa Whelchel, and Malcolm Freberg)

Challenge: Snake in the Grass
Each castaway must traverse a series of hurdles to retrieve bags of puzzle pieces. The first three to cross the finish line will move on to the final round, where they must use the puzzle pieces to solve a snake puzzle. The first person to finish their snake puzzle wins immunity.

Voting Confessionals

	Lisa	“	(voting against Jeff) Well, I said you were Plan B, but I think this was actually Plan D or E.	”

	Denise	“	(voting against Pete) Pete, it was fantastic to watch your little alliance just kind of implode on itself.	”

Final Words

	Jeff	“	You know what pisses me off? 'Cause I think I've made about 60 million dollars playing baseball, and I want this frickin' million dollars in this game. And it's not even a million bucks! It's 600 grand by the time Obama takes it! I'm a Game 7 World Series loser. You know, I've played in the biggest games in the world and the worst games in the world, but this just sucks!	”

Trivia

Life at Ponderosa

Jeff is warmly welcomed by RC after which Jeff apologizes to her for not listening to him nor Michael. Jeff learns that he lost 22.5 lbs. in the 22 days he was in the game. The medics confirm that Jeff's MCL was torn as he speculated when he got injured during the marooning. Jeff reveals that he is happy when nobody recognized him as a former baseball player and is delighted to see rainfall coming down, wanting the remaining castaways to suffer more.
