Challenge: Watch Your Step
One at a time, players make a move on the giant multi-level playing board. Flip a tile to the red side, and step onto it. Once a tile has been flipped and stepped on, it cannot be used again. In addition, the top level is a spinning platform to be used for strategic repositioning on the board. If a player is completely surrounded by flipped tiles, they are eliminated from the challenge. The last person standing wins.
Additional Stipulation: For purchasing the Challenge Advantage during the auction, Danni Boatwright is allowed to switch positions with any remaining player on the board once in the challenge.
Winner: Danni Boatwright

Voting Confessionals[]
Rafe |
“ | (voting against Judd) Judd, I'm pretty sure it's one of us tonight. I hope it's you, but if it's not, then good job. | ” |
Lydia |
“ | (voting against Judd) You told me today that there was only one sure way to avoid being voted off, and that was to have an Immunity Necklace. But you also forgot that there's also an alliance that I tried to form with you, but I think you chose your own destiny. | ” |
Danni |
“ | (voting against Judd) You always say we're a bunch of squirrels trying to get a nut. Well, sorry I had to write your name down, but I had to do what I had to do today. | ” |
Stephenie |
“ | (voting against Judd) I really did not want to do this, but some conversations have come up that you were turning on our alliance, and I've heard a number of things, so I feel that I can't trust you, and if I don't get rid of you, then I won't go to the end. I'm so sorry. I love you like a brother, and I hope you'll forgive me. | ” |
Judd |
“ | (voting against Lydia) Hey, Lydia, you sang and you danced your way right out of the jungle. Adiós. | ” |
Cindy |
“ | (voting against Lydia) Lydia, being who you are makes you a threat in this game. People love you, and you're so dang smiley. Like your recipes, you always bring a smile to my face, and I'll never forget any of 'em. Thanks a lot. | ” |
Final Words[]
Judd |
“ | I'm really pissed off. I mean I feel I'm, I was pissed on and pissed off, lied to, and betrayed. It doesn't feel good being blindsided and it sucks being lied to, man, because one thing I didn't do was lie to anybody, man. But hey, get rid of the biggest target? And that's what they did, man. So I really believe that you're all a bunch of scumbags and I can't wait until the Final Two, man. I'll have a lot more to say than that, man. | ” |
