Challenges

Reward/Immunity Challenge: Chimney Sweeps
With the castaways divided into two teams of five, they would brace themselves with their arms between two walls while standing barefoot on two footholds. Every 15 minutes, the castaways would move down to smaller footholds. When the castaways reached the fourth set of footholds, they would try to remain on them as long as they could. The last castaway still standing on the footholds won immunity and reward for both themselves and their team.
Reward: Deli sandwiches and an advantage for the last person standing.
Additional Stipulation: The winning team will not attend Tribal Council.
Winners: Yellow Team (Alex Moore, Kristina Mills, Savannah Louie, Sophi Balerdi, and Steven Ramm) (Savannah Louie won the advantage)

Voting Confessionals

MC, Jawan and Rizo's votes were not shown during their confessionals.

	Savannah	“	(using voting advantage) Psych! I'm not voting tonight, I'm gonna save this vote for when I actually need it, and when my butt's on the line.	”

	MC	“	(voting against Sophie) Okay, this is hard.	”

	Jawan	“	(voting against MC) What a night.	”

	Rizo	“	(voting against MC) Holy mother of pearl, what the f*** just happened. Woah. Dude. What the hell.	”

Final Words

	MC	“	This experience has been absolutely everything. Although I wish I had more of a chance to try those individual challenges just to see how I would do, I know people saw me as a physical threat and that made them want to vote me out. I found out that I'm stronger than what I thought I was. I just proved to myself that I'm able to do hard things.	”

Trivia

Other

• The title of the episode was said by Savannah Louie when she was arriving at the old Uli camp, getting ready to discuss the vote with the Blue Team.
• Sophi Balerdi's name was changed to "Soph" in the opening credits and her confessionals to differentiate her from Sophie Segreti. This lasts until The Die Is Cast.
• Lewatu became the first merged tribe name to reveal late as one player already voted out from the previous episode.
