—Episode Synopsis

Challenges

Reward/Immunity Challenge: Scramble On
Castaways must race to balance a ball on the top of a pole while maneuvering through a series of obstacles. Along the way, they would add another section of the pole, making it harder to balance the ball as they make their way through the course. After they got past the balance beam, they would use a long spoon to maneuver two balls through a windy maze, dropping them in two targets along the maze. The first castaway to land one ball in each target wins.
Reward: Pizza
Winner: Maria Shrime Gonzalez (shared with Ben Katzman and Q Burdette)

Final Words

	Venus	“	I went home with an idol, but I'm proud of the journey I've gone on. I hope that I have made the women of Iran proud. I have three words that I want to say, which is "women, life, freedom". I hope that I was one voice that helped uplift those who are voiceless. This was a wild ride and I wouldn't take it back for a single thing.	”
