Challenge: Pool Party
The castaways would throw rocks at a tile which would cause a bundle of puzzle pieces to drop to the ground. The first four castaways who broke their tiles would move on to the second round of digging up a key that would unlock the puzzle pieces. The puzzle pieces would then be assembled into a wheel that would be used to crank a pulley, which would lower two wooden planks. The first two castaways who completed the second round would move on the final round. The planks would be used to cross a rope bridge. The castaway would then race across a series of disks suspended on ropes. First to cross the disks would win Individual Immunity.
Winner: Erik Reichenbach

Voting Confessionals
James's confessional and an edited version of Jason's confessional were shown in the episode.
 Amanda | “ | (voting against Jason) I think you're a great person, this is a purely strategic move tonight and I wish you the best of luck in everything you do, and you were playing a better social game towards the end... except for all the clams, I found them all. But yeah you did step up your game. Good job. | ” |
 Alexis | “ | (voting against James) Sorry James, you're the biggest threat out here right now, it's not personal. | ” |
 Jason | “ | (voting against James) James, you've played a good game; unfortunately, Parvati got you in the end. Yeah, take care. | ” |
 Cirie | “ | (voting against Jason) People don't change overnight, sorry. | ” |
 James | “ | (voting against Parvati) You couldn't just frolic naked and enjoy the heavens. You had to eat the damn apple. | ” |
 Parvati | “ | (voting against Jason) You should really chew with your mouth closed. Seriously, it's bad. | ” |
 Erik | “ | (voting against Jason) See ya, wouldn't want to be ya. | ” |
 Natalie | “ | (voting against James) This doesn't necessarily mean that you're going home tonight, and this is not what that vote is for, hopefully it's a voided vote because I love ya, you'll still be here. | ” |
Final Words
 Jason | “ | I was definitely played today by Natalie and the rest of the girls. They did the same thing in voting out Ozzy. I should have been a little more wary of what they were telling me. What they did tonight will definitely come back to haunt them as I'm sitting up there on the jury. I just wish I would have been a little smarter and played the Hidden Immunity Idol when I had the chance. | ” |

Trivia
- Everyone who voted for James Clement stayed on Airai for its entire existence. Also, none of them returned for a subsequent season. Parvati Shallow, Amanda Kimmel, Cirie Fields, and James returned for Heroes vs. Villains, while Erik Reichenbach returned for Survivor: Caramoan.
- In this episode, there is a goof: Amanda can be seen in the background of the auction eating the sandwich that she hasn't purchased yet.
- Day 30 was Erik's birthday. Appropriately, he won immunity.
- The title was said by Natalie Bolton describing her vicious gameplay.
- After this episode, Erik is the the last male fan standing.
