Challenge: Mayan Pizza
The castaways would compete to finish a multi-stage puzzle. The castaways will start by running around a post in order to spin off a disk that would be used as a puzzle base. They would then solve a puzzle that would fit within the base. The first six castaways to finish their puzzle will move on to the next round. In the final round, the completed base will be used as the center of a second puzzle which, when completed, will depict a sundial. The first castaway to finish their second puzzle would win.

Final Words[]
David |
“ | I saw Redemption Island as a chance to further myself in the game. Unfortunately, uh, my plan didn't work, uh, as well as I would like for it to have. I think this has given me a really fresh outlook and determination to tackle everything I want to do and just, uh, very appreciative for that. | ” |
