Challenges

Immunity Challenge: Rusty Gates
Each castaway will start behind a gate with a peg maze; without the ability to see the maze, they must maneuver the peg out of the maze in order to unlock the gate. Once their gate is unlocked, the castaways will stack four blocks so that there are no repeating colors on any side. The first castaway to solve their block tower wins.
Winner: Marian de Vos (gave immunity to Shane Hattingh)

Final Words

	Meryl	“	I've had the most amazing time. I had advantages, I played them incorrectly, I still have one in my bag. I'm happy and I'm proud, like that's what's really going through my head. I'm really excited the guys made that move and so, here it is. It would've given me a 50% chance of immunity and let's see what it lands on. (flips 50/50 Coin) SAFE!	”
