Challenges[]
Challenge: Full Tilt Boogey
Competing in threes, each team would be tethered to each other. They would make their way across a series of obstacles in the water back to shore. Then, they will dig their way under a log in the sand before unbraiding ropes to release a key that unlocks a chest of sandbags. They will then use the sandbags to knock over a pyramid of blocks. The first team to knock all their blocks off the table wins.
Reward: American barbecue with their loved ones
Winner: Orange Team (Andrea Boehlke, Aubry Bracco, and Brad Culpepper) (shared with Cirie Fields and Sarah Lacina)
Challenge: Can't Buoy Me Love
The castaways must balance on a small perch while holding a buoy with two handles. The last person holding their buoy and still on the perch wins immunity.
Winner: Brad Culpepper

Final Words[]
|
“ | I thought I was a part of the 'we', and it looks like I was not. I think what got me in the end was being a little bit too comfortable. But I came in with guns blazin', gave it hell, and I made it further than I thought I could. Of course I wanted to go further, but I couldn't be more proud of myself right now. | ” |
