Challenges

• Reward/Immunity
• Immunity

Challenge: Born to Rung
The castaways retrieved rope rungs which they then used to create a rope ladder. On the second level of the tower, they had to maneuver a bag of puzzle pieces on a ladder puzzle and climb up to the top level. Once at the top, they had to solve a giant puzzle.
Additional Stipulation: For finding a Challenge Advantage at camp, the first four steps of both of Erika's ladders were completed for her.
Reward: Steak with veggies, bread and wine.
Winner: Erika Casupanan (shared with Heather Aldret)

Challenge: Let There Be Rock
Walking on a rocking walkway, castaways must stack letter blocks on a shaky platform, stabilized by a rope held by the castaway. The first castaway to correctly spell "FINAL 3" with no upside-down letters and return to the start line wins.
Winner: Xander Hastings

Final Words

	Ricard	“	I think this experience was pretty kick-ass. Like, I did a phenomenal job, I made really good friends, and I am not leaving with any regrets. And I don't have to walk out of this wishing I had done something differently. It's going to be great watching this with my husband and my two kids. It really hasn't even sunk in that I'm about to have another baby and the fact that I'm just gonna be a Survivor dad. And that's just really, really amazing and great.	”

I hope I inspire some people to try something new and outside their comfort zone because the reward is so great. It's so great; it's indescribable. Thanks for having me.	”
