While exploring the islands around their camp, some Aitu tribe members unknowingly land on Raro's island and walk into their camp. The awkward encounter makes the Raro tribe testy when one Aitu tribe member asks for some of Raro's coconuts and spices. Adam catches a large octopus, but Christina, whose bossy attitude is already annoying her tribe, accidentally lets the octopus escape while rinsing it off in the ocean. Trust and individual work ethic becomes a big issue with both tribes. As the Raro tribe continues to be split by gender, will the men of the tribe prove their worth or will they be picked off one by one?
Challenge:Never Tear Us Apart Three pairs stand on individual platforms, harnessed together at the waist and with each member holding a hook in the air. In two-minute intervals, the remaining members of the other tribe load up one pair with a five-pound weight on each hook. If a pair drops a hook, they are out. The last pair standing wins for their tribe. Reward: Spices, wine, and other efficient supplies. Winner:Rarotonga(exiled Jonathan Penner)
Challenge:United We Stand The two tribes must assemble interlocking pieces to form two poles with small podiums on top, then use them to transfer two tribe members from one platform to another. Finally, all eight tribe members must swim out to a much smaller platform and stand on top. Winner:Aitutaki
(voting against Stephannie) Stephannie, you're a beautiful woman inside and out. Thank you for your spiritual guidance that you've bestowed upon our tribe.
(voting against Stephannie) You are a beautiful, beautiful person inside and out, and I thank you for all that you have done and all that you continue to do. God bless.
I would have loved to have stayed in the game a little while longer. But if your mind's not completely there 100%, then your tribe is going to feel that, and you don't want to be a weak link to your tribe. I had wonderful tribemates, I was thankful to have been a part of the experience and I wouldn't trade it for the world. Thanks.
