It's Time for a Hail Mary is the fifth episode of Survivor South Africa: Island of Secrets.

Challenges

• Reward
• Immunity

Challenge: Concentration
In this Survivor version of "Concentration", the tribes will memorize a series of symbols scattered in a game field. Each round, one tribe member will flip over two symbols. If the two symbols match, their tribe scores a point. The first two tribes to score seven points win.
Reward: A trip to the Bio-Strath smoothie bar (1st place); fruit platter and a bottle of Bio-Strath (2nd place)
Winners (in order of finish): Ta'alo (sent Geoffrey Cooke-Tonnesen to the Island of Secrets) and Laumei

Challenge: Smash and Grab
One at a time, tribe members will swim out to a tower and climb up a ramp to the top of the tower before jumping off, knocking a hanging puzzle bag on their way down. They will then swim back to shore with their puzzle bag, at which point the next tribe member will proceed. When a tribe has collected all five puzzle bags, they will have to solve five slide puzzles. Each slide puzzle will release another puzzle piece needed for the final puzzle. The first tribe to solve their last slide puzzle win.
Winners (in order of finish): Ta'alo and Sa'ula

Voting Confessionals

No voting confessionals were shown during the episode.

	Seipei	“	(voting against Felix) Felix, buddy, it's a principle move. Um- for me, what you did at the challenge, um- is something that you just don't do, not when you're a part of a team. We all have alliances everywhere else, um- but you stick with the people in your team and you build dignity around the people that you have, you take care of them first. Um- yeah, I do hope you do understand that, and I'm sorry.	”

	Durao	“	(voting against Felix) I guess now's the time to tell you that I don't have the idol.	”

	Tania	“	(voting against Felix) Dude, ever since you kicked me out into the rain I've been gunning for you. Tonight it's one for Tania, zero for the pro-ohs.	”

	Jacques	“	(voting against Felix) This one is for Ting Ting. Three to go.	”

	Felix	“	(voting against Durão) Purely a numbers game, bud. Sorry.	”

Final Words

	Felix	“	Exiting at this stage of the game, I'm really disappointed. Honestly I didn't see it coming, but while I was sitting at Tribal and was hearing Seipei's answer and knew that she most likely turned on me. Yeah, she was the person I trusted the most. The only thing I would change is try to restrain myself, but clearly, y'know- it's not very possible. And it just goes to show, no second chances in Survivor.	”
