Story

“	One castaway breaks out their arts and crafts skills to create a fake idol and makes a plan to prevent being eliminated.	”
—Episode Synopsis

Challenges

• Reward
• Immunity

Challenge: O-Black Water
One at a time, the castaways have to go though a water obstacle course. Once all members made it across, they have to toss a grappling hook to grab a ring. The first team to snag all five rings wins reward.
Reward: Chocolate hut provided by Mars Chocolate.
Winner: Blue Team (Dan Foley, Mike Holloway, Shirin Oskooi, Sierra Dawn Thomas, and Tyler Fredrickson)

Challenge: Keep on Your Toes
Castaways would each stand on a small wooden perch in a rectangular frame, adjusted to their height. They would brace a wooden block on their head and keep it in place using the wooden board above them. The structure would force the contestants to stand on their toes slightly, increasing the difficulty. If they fall off the frame, drop their block, or touch either the structure or their block, they would be out of the challenge. The last person left standing wins.
Winner: Tyler Fredrickson

Voting Confessionals

Sierra was shown writing down the letter 'J' on the parchment.

	Tyler	“	(voting against Jenn) I have no idea what's going on.	”

	Rodney	“	(voting against Joe) I have no idea what is going to happen tonight.	”

	Joe	“	(voting against Jenn) Jenn girl, hopefully my Idol play bought me one more vote and it's you and not me.	”

Final Words

	Joe	“	I tried to stay in this game as long as humanly possible. It's hard to leave the game when I feel like I had so much game left to play. But, uh, it is a game and, you know, I guess it's, uh, a little bit of an indirect compliment that everyone wanted me out. It's bittersweet but every single second was worth it out here and, uh, I would-- I would do it again in a heartbeat.	”

Trivia

Behind the Scenes

• As Will slides down the ramp during the reward challenge, a Wilhelm scream sound effect can be heard.

Other

• This episode marks the last time that Mike Holloway would be vulnerable at Tribal Council, as he would win five of the last six Immunity Challenges, and he played a Hidden Immunity Idol to save him the one time he did not win immunity.
