Story

“	Hunger and dehydration take their toll on the Ravu tribe, leaving one castaway barely able to stand.	”
—Episode Synopsis

Day 4

Moto is enjoying their reward and each other's company.

	Lisi	“	This so vicious, it's delicious.	”

But Boo kept eating and eating, so much that he was too full to eat.

At Ravu, the tribe is struggling to move along. They can't make fire and they had no food nor water. All they do is rub sticks hoping that a spark will come. But Yau-Man attempted to hydrate the tribe by filling up all of the canteens with coconut water. The tribe all helps, hydrating them, but then they fall asleep.

	Rocky	“	...nobody has the energy to chop anything open, you chop up like five coconuts and nap for an hour. I'm telling ya right now, nobody has a clue. We're walking around into the walks of the trees. None of us can't even stand up for like an hour and a half. I just...just never experienced dehydration like this so much. I was eating clams off the ground. I don't do that! I eat clams, too; I don't eat them off the ground. Hun! No! It's crazy, we're starving here, bro.	”

Over at Moto, Boo has something in his eye. It's severely red and has an indent on it. Alex flushes it out. But after he gets back up, Boo cuts his hand and it is covered in blood. It goes through Boo's finger and hits his knee.

	Dreamz	“	...Boo will hurt himself out of the game.	”

But then, all of a sudden, Boo's hammock falls and Boo hits the ground, taking up his injuries to four.

Challenges

Reward/Immunity Challenge: Supply Ships
Eight players row a catamaran to a floating crate and back, over four crates on the way back while the other player attaches each crate to a rope. Those players will then pull them to shore, carry them to the tribe mat, and untie them to find pieces for a puzzle pole and a flag. After that, they must assemble the pole, put the flag in the top, and place the pole in its holder.
Reward: Fishing gear
Winner: Moto (exiled Earl Cole)

Voting Confessionals

Edited versions of Rocky's and Anthony's confessionals were aired. Erica was shown writing Sylvia's name on the parchment. Her voting confessional is currently unavailable.

	Yau-Man	“	(voting against Erica) Sorry, you're too compulsive, you're too impulsive, and you panic easily. I'm sorry.	”

	Rocky	“	(voting against Erica) The person I'm voting for tonight is Erica. I just can't read you anymore, and quite frankly, you're the biggest threat right now. Sorry, baby.	”

	Sylvia	“	(voting against Erica) Erica, I'm sorry to do this, but you just can't panic in a survival situation.	”

	Rita	“	(voting against Erica) I heard and noticed that you are aligned with Earl. I don't think Earl likes me, and that scared me, and that's why my vote tonight is for you.	”

	Anthony	“	(voting against Sylvia) I'm voting for you 'cause you've been a little bit pushy for me. I can't vote my girl. Sorry.	”

	Mookie	“	(voting against Erica) Sorry sweetie, but you're a threat to my alliance.	”

	Michelle	“	(voting against Erica) Girl, you are not who I wanted to vote for tonight.	”

Final Words

	Erica	“	I was very, very shocked by the vote tonight. It kinda hurts to get blindsided like that. I don't think it was a smart move to vote off somebody who was strong. When the next challenge comes around, I hope you guys win, but if you don't, I want you to think about voting me off and think about who you kept; and if you go home empty-handed, maybe you should think about the decision that you made.	”
