Story[]

A tempting offer has some Survivors opting out of the Immunity Challenge. Who feels safe enough to sit out, and who won't risk a loss? Terry and Sally continue to lobby the remaining Casayas to join forces with them. Will their efforts to form a new alliance finally pay off? Terry shares Navy stories with his tribemates, and the former Casaya women worry he is unbeatable. After winning individual Immunity two weeks in a row, can Terry keep his streak going? One male Survivor becomes one of the girls. Has he lost his mind, or does he have a valid reason to be walking around in a skirt?

—Episode Synopsis[2]

Day 22[]

In the morning, Terry Deitz talks about his pilot training, while Courtney Marit and Cirie Fields talked about how they were supposed to beat Terry in the Immunity Challenge. Terry asks how does he fit into the six, but he is told he is not in the six. Terry talks about the day before and Tribal Council. Danielle DiLorenzo wants the former La Mina gone, followed by Aras. The women agree Terry is gone as soon as he is vulnerable. Danielle, in a confessional, talks about whether the idol Terry has was real or not. Aras talks to the women and asked to be sent to Exile Island. He reveals he did so he can find the idol.

At the Reward Challenge, the reward was to watch the complete videos from home, along with milk and PB&J. After everyone finished watching the videos, Jeff Probst explained the rules and divided the teams. Although the challenge was a close race, the team of Courtney, Bruce Kanegai, Sally Schumann, and Terry won due to the other team knocking out flags. The winning team exiled Aras Baskauskas.

Cirie, Danielle, and Shane Powers walk back to camp, dejected after losing. Shane tries to cheer up Danielle and Cirie by saying the challenge was not that big of a challenge to lose. Shane also reveals he is having problems with his genitalia and insists that Cirie, a registered nurse, take a look, which she reluctantly agrees to. On Exile Island, Aras deduces that the Immunity Idol has already been found.

Shane spots the boat with the winning team returning from reward. The winning team also returns with their luxury items.

Day 23[]

No footage was shown from Day 23.

Day 24[]

Sally talks to Terry about their options and how to take over the game. Shane tells Terry that he would be voted out if he is vulnerable. The castaways arrive for the challenge and Aras is welcomed from exile. Jeff hands everyone a shell and a nut. After explaining the challenge rules, Jeff revealed that the castaways could feast on burgers if they feel safe. The shell means they would compete, the nut means they want to eat. All castaways with the exception of Sally, Terry, and Aras choose to eat. Aras seems annoyed that he is the only one from his alliance to compete. After five minutes, Terry wins immunity for the third time.

At Tribal Council, the events of the challenge along with Terry's winning streak are discussed. Terry did not give Sally her idol, nor did anyone flip. Sally was voted out in a 6-2 vote.

Challenges[]

Challenge: Get Hooked
One player lies on a "cradle" supported by bungee ropes. The other three members of their team use ropes to pull them around a boxlike structure to grab 15 numbered flags, one at a time, and place them into the corresponding holders.
Reward: A full screening of the winning team's videos from home, along with peanut butter and jelly sandwiches with milk. The winners will also receive their luxury items.
Winners: White Team (Bruce Kanegai, Courtney Marit, Sally Schumann, and Terry Deitz) (exiled Aras Baskauskas)

Challenge: Marine Memory
The castaways must swim out to a pair of floating life rings, dive down to find a long plank and memorize the seven symbols shown on it in order. They must then return to the beach and use three-sided puzzle pieces to recreate the sequence in a solving station.
Additional Stipulation: Castaways were given the choice to sit out of the challenge and eat hamburgers instead of competing.
Winner: Terry Deitz

Voting Confessionals[]

Cirie and Terry's confessionals and an edited version of Sally's confessional were shown in the episode. Courtney's vote was not shown during her confessional.

Sally
(voting against Aras) I know you're rich and this will work tonight. We'll see what happens. Um, kind of sick of the six of you, so one at a time.
Terry
(voting against Aras) Still the number one threat, buddy.
Danielle
(voting against Sally) I just don't trust you around camp. Sorry.
Shane
(voting against Sally) We're gonna see each other real soon, have a pizza. I miss you, Mama. Best socks in the history of Survivor.
Cirie
(voting against Sally) Just strategy, nothing personal. Hope you have the Idol.
Aras
(voting against Sally) Sally, this was nothing but a numbers thing. I wish you could still be here.
Courtney
(voting against Sally) You're a great player in this game and too much of a threat. So sorry.
Bruce
(voting against Sally) My most memorable moment so far in this game so far is breakfast in bed in the rain with sweet rolls and coffee and breakfast. I'll always remember that. But right now, this is a group strategy for a million dollars.


Final Words[]

Sally
I am not disappointed that Terry didn't give me the Hidden Immunity Idol. He's got a huge uphill battle ahead of him. I'm disappointed that I can't be there fighting in the trenches beside him, but I found so much inner strength, and I'll take that with me, and I learned a lot about myself in all this. You know, I fought hard and I feel great and I have no regrets.
