Story

Day 8

The three tribes met Nico Panagio, expecting a Reward Challenge. However, Nico instructed the castaways to drop their buffs and draw new buffs, announcing a tribe switch. After the castaways had reshuffled to their new tribe mats, Tania returned from the Island of Secrets. She was given a choice to join any of the three tribes, and if she chose to join a tribe which already had six members, she could select one of their members to shift to another tribe. Tania chose to join the five-person Laumei tribe, evening the numbers at six apiece.

Durão Laumei	Felix Laumei	Jacques Laumei	Rose-Lee Laumei	Seipei Laumei	Tania Laumei
Cobus Sa'ula	Geoffrey Sa'ula	Mike Sa'ula	Mmaba Sa'ula	Nathan Sa'ula	Steffi Sa'ula
Danté Ta'alo	Laetitia Ta'alo	Meryl Ta'alo	Nicole Ta'alo	Rob Ta'alo	Rocco Ta'alo

Day 9

After the challenge, Ta'alo were asked to send a member of Laumei to the Island of Secrets, and were also told that the person they chose would not attend Tribal Council and thus become immune. Ta'alo chose Seipei.

Challenges

Reward/Immunity Challenge: Great Escape Run
Four members of each tribes make their way through an obstacle course using planks on their feet, which they will control with ropes attached to the planks. The challenge starts with one member on the planks, then at each station, another castaway clips their planks to the end of the previous ones, until all four members walk together on two large planks. Once they reach a pole marker, they will retrieve a key from the pole before proceeding to a staircase. There, the last two tribe members will use the planks to complete a puzzle staircase, allowing them to climb up the tower and throw sandbags, attempting to land them on crates out on the field. The first two tribes to land a sandbag on all five of their crates win.
Reward: A Steers barbecue with ribs, condiments, and spices (1st place); two ribs to share (2nd place)
Winners (in order of finish): Ta'alo (sent Seipei Mashugane to the Island of Secrets) and Sa'ula

Voting Confessionals

Tania “ (voting against Rose-Lee) Sorry. You're a much stronger player than I am, but tonight is not your night. ” Jacques “ (voting against Rose-Lee) See you at the reunion show. ” Felix “ (voting against Rose-Lee) Just numbers, Rose. Sorry. ” Durao “ (voting against Tania) No hard feelings, just a logical choice. ” Rose-Lee “ (voting against Tania) I'm voting for who I think should go home, but, again you are lucky with numbers. ”

Final Words

	Rose-Lee	“	I spent nine days in wet clothes in the pouring rain, it was, um- it was quite an adventure. It really was an incredible experience overall. It was very tough, very emotionally taxing. It allows for lots of introspection, and um- that can be a dangerous thing as far as emotions are concerned. I've definitely changed for the better and I would hope that other people, uh- feel the same way.	”
