Challenge: Race to Black Pearl Island
Starting at the airfield where they were marooned, the tribes will race into a Panamanian village. There, they will search a fire station for two jerry cans, which they will fill with fuel. They will then bring the jerry cans to a local boat to bring them to their tribe camp. The first tribe to place their flag on their camp lays claim to the camp and wins the challenge.
Reward: The winning tribe will claim the Black Pearl Island as their home for the season, and a chest full of supplies to help build their shelter.
Winner: Aguila

Challenge: Lock Step
The tribes will be tethered to a mast. While holding the mast, the tribe will run into a mangrove swamp and race back out to their raft. There, the tribe will untie knots on a rope and raise their mast. The first tribe to do so wins.
Winner: Aguila

Final Words

	Don	“	I actually saw it coming, I wasn't surprised at all. For the last two days, there's been a tremendous power play going on at camp. Considering I've only had six hours of sleep in the last three days, I was physically not able to lobby and form alliances.	”
