“	Castaways oil themselves up for a wet and wild immunity challenge. While the lucky winners enjoy a picnic vacation, Tikiano's sore losers strike at the chance to powwow at camp.	”
—Episode Synopsis

Challenges

• Reward
• Immunity

Challenge: Touchy Subjects
Prior to the challenge, the tribe answered questions pertaining to a different subject and castaway. The challenge was to guess what the majority answered for each question. If a castaway was correct and guessed the majority answer, they could cut another castaway's rope. If all three ropes were cut, the castaway's ragdoll would be burned up, and they would be eliminated. The last player standing wins.
Reward: Helicopter ride to an remote island, where the winner will enjoy a picnic.
Winner: Kim Spradlin (shared with Alicia Rosa and Chelsea Meissner)

Challenge: Slip Slidin' Away
The castaways would face off in 1-on-1 battles, where they would oil themselves up and slide down a slippery surface, collecting rings as they went. Once they got to the end, they must toss the ring onto a hook at the end. Last player left standing would win immunity.
Winner: Kim Spradlin

Final Words

	Troyzan	“	For the last eleven years, I've been thinking, "I'm gonna get on Survivor," and my only objective is to be the winner, and I am a bit sad that I didn't reach my goal. Definitely, odds were against me, it was seven on one, but I did what I could do. I played exactly who I am. The fans out there, I know are gonna love my game and hopefully they'll appreciate it.	”

Trivia

Life at Ponderosa

In his post-game medical, Troyzan learns he lost 14 lbs., dropping from 167 lbs. to 153 lbs. He arrives at Ponderosa where he is warmly welcomed by the jury. The men agree than Tarzan is a major factor why an all-male alliance was an impossibility. Jay, Jonas and Leif talk with Troyzan, while Michael just observes them.

The next day, Troyzan shaves his beard to imitate Tarzan's. Later, the 5 jurors go out shopping. While the others shop for giveaways for their loved ones back home, Jonas buys himself ingredients for dinner. Troyzan purchases an axe-like ornament which he jokingly says he would use to take Kim out.

Day 33 at Ponderosa, Jonas lifts weights using water containers, with Jay as his spotter. Later, Troyzan weighs again and learns he gained 8 lbs. since arriving at Ponderosa.

Other

• This is the third consecutive Tribal Council at which the Salani Alliance splits the vote.
  • This record would later be broken by Stealth R Us in Survivor: Caramoan with four consecutive split votes.
• This sets a record for most males eliminated consecutively with 6 males after Troyzan's elimination.
  • This record would later be tied in Survivor: San Juan del Sur from "Wrinkle in the Plan" to "Let's Make a Move", where six men were eliminated from Josh Canfield to Jon Misch.
• With Troyzan's elimination, Tarzan is the last man and original Manono member standing.
• The name of the Immunity Challenge, Slip Slidin' Away, references the Paul Simon song of the same name.
