Challenges

• Reward
• Immunity

Challenge: For-Word Progress
The teams would race through a series of obstacles and then untie knots to release a drawbridge. They would then use a hatchet to chop a rope, which would release puzzle pieces. Once they have all the puzzle pieces, they would use them to solve a word puzzle (A REWARD WITH ALL THE FIXIN'S). The first team to get it right wins reward.
Reward: A helicopter tour of Nicaragua and a surf and turf meal with wine.
Winners: Red Team (Carolyn Rivera, Mike Holloway, and Will Sims II)

Challenge: Puppet Master
The castaways would each use a grappling hook to retrieve three bags. Each bag contains a ball. Once they have all three bags, they would use one of those balls to solve a table maze. The first person to finish wins Immunity.
Winner: Mike Holloway

Final Words

	Dan	“	I came out here with three things to do: number one, have fun; number two, be remembered; number three, hopefully win this game. But as long as I made the first two, I'm still okay with that. That's just the way it goes. Every day I was here was a dream come true for me. I played a good game. I played a respectable game. I got no regrets.	”
