Day 34[]
Day 35[]
Challenges[]
Challenge: Teeter Tower
The castaways would use one hand to hold on to a rope to steady a balancing board. With the other hand, they would build a house of cards with wooden tiles on one end of the balancing board. The first castaway to build a tall enough house of cards to reach the finish mark would win.
Winner: Aubry Bracco
Challenge: Vertigo
The castaways start on a tall perch where they have to gather water with a bucket and a long rope. Then, the water must be poured into a chute, which causes a pole with a key at the top to rise. Once the castaway is able to reach the key, they must head over to shore and work on a block puzzle. The first person to complete the puzzle wins.
Winner: Brad Culpepper

Final Words[]

“ | I'm kinda bummed, but I'm excited that I made it to Day 35. Like, it's been a wild experience. You know, it's a compliment to be voted off because people think that they can't beat you, like, don't hurt my feelings. I wanted to win a million dollars–maybe I have to come back and play a third time to get to the end. (laughs) | ” |

Trivia[]
Secret Scene[]
Michaela Ruffles Feathers: Following a tense conversation between Brad and Michaela, the latter returns to the Maku Maku camp, annoyed and ranting about Michaela's behavior. Brad continues to talk about Michaela's perceived laziness to ally Troyzan, saying that he would never associate with Michaela after the season. Meanwhile, Michaela explains her interactions with Brad with her alliance members Andrea, Aubry, Cirie, and Sarah. Whilst Michaela cites how she feels she could see through Brad's attempt to catch food as a guise for searching for a Hidden Immunity Idol, Cirie voices her concern about Michaela's method of confronting Brad and how it may impact the tribe moving forward.[3]
