Challenges[]
Challenge: Caged Tigers
Divided into two teams of five, two members of each team will start in a canoe in the water, while the remaining three members are locked in a cage on a floating platform. The two paddlers will have to rescue each teammate, who each have a key. Once all three caged members are rescued, they will return to shore. Using the keys the teams have collected, they will unlock a large circus net that is holding puzzle pieces. They will then have to carry the puzzle pieces to a frame, where they will solve the puzzle. The first team to finish their puzzle wins.
Reward: A helicopter flight to a bluff overlooking the islands and a picnic lunch
Winner: Orange Team (Chelsea Townsend, Jenna Bowman, Kellyn Bechtold, Michael Yerger, and Sebastian Noel) (Angela Perkins sent to Ghost Island via rock draw)
Challenge: Take the Reins
Each person must balance a ball on a disc, which is attached to ropes. At regular intervals, they will each move their hands farther back on the rope, making it more difficult to balance. If at any point a ball drops, that person is out of the challenge. The last person left standing wins immunity.
Winner: Chelsea Townsend

Final Words[]
|
“ | They could tell I was lying? Oh man. I gave it my all. I tried to act as real as possible and it's such a shame cause that was I there like Kellyn was just the first. I had plans baby. I had plans and Laurel messed it all up. So hey, I trusted the wrong person I guess. | ” |
