Challenges[]

Challenge: Get Smashed Q & A
The nine contestants must answer questions about their fellow castaways, and guess the most common answer. For a correct answer, they will use a war club to smash one of three tile towers belonging to another player. Last one with a tile tower intact wins.
Reward: Spending the night on a 70-foot yacht, where they will get a feast.
Winner: Cassandra Franklin (shared with Boo Bernis, Dreamz Herd, and Yau-Man Chan, exiled Mookie Lee)

Challenge: Chimney Sweep
The castaways must brace themselves between two walls while standing on tiny footholds above the ground. After 30 minutes, they will step down to smaller footholds. After one hour, they must step down to the smallest footholds, less than a quarter of an inch wide. Only their arms and feet can touch the wall. Last one left wins.
Winner: Yau-Man Chan

Voting Confessionals[]

Dreamz's and Edgardo's confessionals were aired.

Alex
(voting against Cassandra) Nothing personal, Cassandra. For me, it's best if you go.
Dreamz
(voting against Mookie) A strategic move. Let's still be friends.
Boo
(voting against Edgardo) Ed, I'm sorry; it was a last-minute switch. I got a coupla blondes to hook you up, though, if you'll forgive me.
Cassandra
(voting against Edgardo) I've enjoyed you during the game.
Edgardo
(voting against Cassandra) Nothing against you, but better you than me. Let's see if this works.
Yau-Man
(voting against Edgardo) It wasn't really your turn yet, but your boss has the Immunity Idol, so you have to go. Sorry.
Earl
(voting against Edgardo) Nothing personal, just business. I look forward to hanging out with you later.
Mookie
(voting against Cassandra) Let's just call it revenge.
Stacy
(voting against Edgardo) In order for me to stay in this game, I had to go with the majority this time.

Final Words[]

Edgardo
I'm a little bit disappointed that Dreamz messed me up in that vote. My plan was an all or nothing, and it didn't work out. But I tried my best, and uh, to the guys that voted me off, best of luck. There's a couple of people that don't deserve the million dollars, but there's a couple that do, and uh, Cassandra, hopefully you will get voted off next, because I don't like you very much.
