Challenges

Challenge: Bocce In A Box
Three castaways from each tribe would play a game similar to bocce. A flag would be placed in the center of a circle. The castaways would take turns tossing three balls each at the flag. The tribe who throws a ball closest to the flag would win.
Reward: Three chickens.
Winner: Galu

Challenge: Well Stacked
The castaways would race across a net run carrying wooden blocks to a platform. When all of the blocks were at the platform, they would need to be stacked into a tower. The castways would then cross a rope bridge to a second platform where two nets would be tied together holding more wooden blocks. After the nets were untied, the blocks would have to be stacked into another tower. The first tribe to stack both towers would win.
Winner: Foa Foa

Final Words

	Yasmin	“	I personally feel like I'm such a strong competitor that, had I made it to the end, it would have been really hard not to vote for me. These people are going to start to scramble because they're not being true to themselves. They're tiptoeing around each other. They're full of crap. It's just crazy, but you know what? If that's the type of company I have to keep, I'm happy to be going.	”
