Challenges

• Redemption Island Duel
• Reward/Immunity

Challenge: Domino Effect
Each castaway will stack a series of blocks on a multi-leveled platform while avoiding trip wires, which could cause their blocks to tip and force them to start over. The goal is to arrange the blocks so they will fall like dominoes. Ultimately, this releases a ball, which will smash a tile. The winner of the duel will live to see another day on Redemption Island.
Winner: Matt Elrod

Challenge: Toolin' Around
On Day 1, both tribes were given a Craftsman tool kit. Today's challenge will test how adept they've become at using those tools. Both tribes will make their way over a balance beam where they will use a crow bar to open a crate and retrieve a shovel. The shovel will be then be used to dig to find an axe, which will be used to chop a log that will release a rope holding two saws. The saws will be used to cut through a wall releasing planks. The planks will be used to complete a ramp that will get the entire tribe to the top of a platform where they must hammer three nails to break three tiles. The final step is to put the toolbox containing all the tools used in the challenge on top of the table on the platform. First tribe to complete all tasks would win the challenge.
Reward: A barbecue feast (that consists of steak, sausages, vegetables, bread, condiments, and a barbecue grill)
Winner: Zapatera

Final Words

	Russell	“	It's just terrible when you play with people that didn't really come here to play the game. They just came here maybe for fame or just for the money. This is my last time playing this game. That's it. I have nothing else to prove to myself or to my family. Matt, I give him props [for] beating me, and I hope he goes all the way.	”
