Challenge: Draw the Line
Castaways moved a buoy through obstacles in the water. Upon reaching shore, they transported puzzle pieces across a teeter totter and then used the pieces to solve a word puzzle. The first person to spell "You Cannot Hide in a Dangerous Game" wins.
Additional Stipulation: For finding a Challenge Advantage at camp, Karla had 10 blocks already on her platform.
Reward: Steak with veggies, bread and wine.
Winner: Owen Knight (shared with Cassidy Clark)

Challenge: Operation Balance Build
The castaways have to attach a small wooden bowl to a prong at the end of a long pole to maneuver it through a metal structure. The structure is mounted on a spring in order to increase the difficulty. Once they have maneuvered the bowl through the structure, they have to sit it at the top. The first castaway to stack all fifteen bowls on top each other wins.
Winner: Cassidy Clark
