Challenges[]

Immunity Challenge: Wrist Assured
Castaways hold on to a handle with a rope wrapped around it. At the end of the rope is a bucket that contains 25% of their body weight. As the challenge goes on, the rope will begin to unspool, making it harder to keep the bucket in the air. The last man and woman remaining in the challenge will win individual immunity.
Winners: Carter Williams and Denise Stapley

Final Words[]

S25 rc bw
RC
That's the name of the game, and the name of the game is blindside. And, you know, um, it was such an amazing, wonderful experience. I can't believe I actually got to do this. I lasted rain, and no food, and all these things. It was difficult, but I got to play Survivor. How many people actually get to do this? And I made it pretty far so I am very proud of myself.

Trivia[]

Behind The Scenes[]

  • As a play on how the castaways got battered by two weeks of rain, the new tribe calls themselves "Dangrayne" ("Dang, rain"). Before coming up with the tribe name, the castaways coin several name ideas. While RC leads the charge in painting the flag, their new tribe name does not sit well with her. While the castaways are given paints that resemble the colors of the three original tribes, the Dangrayne tribe mixes up the colors.

Life at Ponderosa[]

After leaving Tribal Council, RC undergoes a medical evaluation where she learns she lost 5 lbs in 19 days. RC is disbelief that she lost not as much weight as she expected as she purposely gained weight prior to the game. She arrives at Ponderosa where she binges on junk food and local sweets while being debriefed by Dr. Tara, the on-site psychologist. RC vents how dysfunctional Tandang was, despite their perfect immunity streak.

The next day, RC takes a trip around the municipality of Caramoan. Alone at Ponderosa, RC takes the movie room and pool area for herself and jokingly says she is reluctant to share the amenities to anyone who voted her out. RC also expresses excitement in the prospect of seeing Abi-Maria and Artis voted out, particularly Abi-Maria, whom RC looks forward to unload on.

Other[]

  • This episode marks the first time that members of the original Tandang tribe attend Tribal Council.
  • This week's Tribal Council marks the first non-unanimous vote of the season.
  • On her Facebook fan page, Denise reveals the merged tribe relocated to the old Matsing camp.
  • With the start of the jury phase, Denise will attend Tribal Council in every episode that she is in, becoming the second person to do so, the first being Stephenie LaGrossa in Survivor: Palau.
    • Unlike Stephenie, Denise is present at every Tribal Council as a contestant instead of as a jury member.
  • The eventual final five castaways of this season voted against Jonathan Penner during this episode's Tribal Council.
  • This is the first and only time Denise is immune from being voted out.
  • Despite being conceived twelve seasons prior as a method to "flush" the Hidden Immunity Idol, this is the first split vote at which the primary target actually used an idol and the secondary target was eliminated.
    • Ironically, Jonathan Penner, who played the idol in this episode, is targeted at the original split vote in "Plan Voodoo".
  • This is the second episode to air on Halloween, following "Assumptions". It would be followed by "Aren't Brochachos Just Adorable?".
