Challenges

Reward

Challenge: Survivor Auction

Immunity

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

“	You couldn't just frolic naked and enjoy the heavens. You had to eat the damn apple.	”
—James

“	See you, wouldn't want to be you.	”
—Erik

“	James, you've played a good game; unfortunately, Parvati got you.	”
—Jason

Final Words

“	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.	”
—Jason Siska

Trivia

• This is the only post-merge Tribal Council of the season where more than 2 people get votes.
• Everyone who voted for James stayed on Airai for its entire existence. Also, none of them returned for a subsequent season. Parvati, Amanda, Cirie, and James returned for Heroes vs Villains, while Erik returned for 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.
