Challenges

• Reward
• Immunity

Challenge: Elephant Eggs
In two roped off squares, three members of a tribe would toss a breakable ball back and forth. An opposing tribe member would attempt to smash or knock the ball to the ground. The first tribe to break the opposing tribe's ball would score a point for the round. The first tribe to score three points would win.
Reward: An afternoon picnic
Winner: Kota (exiled Sugar Kiper)

Challenge: Lake Log Jam
The castaways would compete in a head-to-head logrolling contest in a single-elimination tournament. The final round would have three castaways rolling the log at the same time, with the last person standing winning individual immunity and the opportunity to give individual immunity to one member of the opposing tribe.
Winner: Marcus Lehman (gave additional individual immunity to Sugar Kiper)
