Challenges[]

Challenge: Air Raid
Divided into two teams of five, castaways must race to the top of a tower. At the top of the tower, they will have to use a slingshot and sandbags to hit five targets. The first team to hit all five targets, indicated by a flag being released, wins.
Reward: A spaghetti dinner on a private island.
Additional Stipulation: Each member of the winning team will eat their meal alone, taking as much as they want from a shared portion of food. The order will be determined by the person who drew the white rock and consequently sat out of the challenge.
Winner: Blue Team (Chrissy Hofbeck, Cole Medders, Devon Pinto, JP Hilsabeck, and Ryan Ulrich) (joined by Joe Mena)

Challenge: Ten Foot Pole
Standing on a narrow beam, and using a long pole, castaways must balance a statue. At regular intervals, they will move further away from the statue. If at any point, they fall from the beam or drop their statue, they are out of the challenge. The last person left standing wins.
Winner: Cole Medders

Lauren
(using voting advantage) I hope using this works for me somehow, someway.

Final Words[]

S35 desi bw
Desi
(tearfully) It didn't go as I had hoped or-or planned. It's truly heartbreaking. And I'm certainly not used to losing. It's not part of what I typically do, but, I guess, in this game I wasn't part of anybody's plan moving forward, so I have to just realize that's part of the game and somebody has to go home. And I don't think I have anything else to say.
