So Smart They're Dumb is the eleventh episode of Survivor: David vs. Goliath.

Story[]

Emotions are sparked when loved ones visit the castaways. Also, a tribal blindside could create a crack in the Mason-Dixon alliance, and one castaway could break the game wide open by targeting their #1 ally.

Challenges[]

Challenge: Ringo Starz
Tethered to another castaway, each pair will need to race through the water and crawl under an obstacle. Once on shore, each pair must dig for a ring of keys to release a pair of balls. The first pair to each get one ball on a narrow perch wins.
Reward: A barbecue with their loved one.
Winner: Green Team (Angelina Keeley and Nick Wilson) (shared with Davie Rickenbacker and Mike White)

Challenge: A Hand Out
Castaways must balance on a narrow perch, while balancing a pole in their palm connected to a bucket of water. If their bucket falls or they step off the perch, they are out of the challenge. The last person left standing wins.
Winner: Kara Kay

Voting Confessionals[]

Gabby
(voting against Christian) If this works, then I'm losing my closest ally and my best friend in this game. But it's something I need to do for my game.

Final Words[]

Gabby
I started this game as an underdog. I still feel like I was kind of an underdog, but for me, it was a personal triumph to do something with confidence and not seek reassurance from all over. But if people saw something in me that they wanted to take out, then maybe I'm more of a Goliath than I thought.
