Story

“	It is day 16 and castaways are getting to know their new tribe post merge. Also, hunger pangs are starting to take a toll and castaways must decide who will strike a deal with Jeff Probst to earn rice for their tribe.	”
—Episode Synopsis

Challenges

Immunity Challenge: Over-Extended
Castaways must place a big ball upon a platform connected to the pole which they are holding. At regular intervals, they will add another section of pole, making it harder to balance. If the ball falls off, that person is eliminated. The last person with their ball on top of the pole wins.
Additional Stipulation: If five castaways agreed to forfeit their chance at immunity, the tribe would receive four days' worth of rice. The tribe complied with the terms of negotiation and received the bag of rice.
Winner: Owen Knight

Final Words

	Jeanine	“	Dwight leaving with my idol had a major impact on my game, but I can't look back on any of it and not smile. I truly do feel like I've learned more about myself these last 16 days and I've challenged myself physically and mentally in every possible way. I can't describe it any more than gratitude and contentment.	”
