Challenges

• Reentry Duel
• Immunity
• Reward

Challenge: Last Man Standing
The castaways will balance on a narrow post. At regular intervals, they will move to taller and narrower posts. If they fall off, they are out of the game for good. The last two people left standing return to the game.
Winners: Mzi Tyhokolo and Vanessa Marawa

Challenge: Bungee Running
Attached to a bungee cord, each contestant will race out and place a stake as far from the start line as they can. The two people who place their stakes the furthest will proceed to the final round. In the final round, the two finalists will race out and attempt to grab three stakes, each further out than the last, and place them in their stands. Once they have retrieved three stakes, they will race out for a final stake. The first person to grab that stake wins.
Winner: Mzi Tyhokolo

Challenge: What Do You Make Of This? / The Hook
The contestants will have until a sand timer runs out to form as many words as they can, using the letters on a board. For each correct word they create, they will receive a ring in the next stage of the challenge. In the second stage, the contestants will toss rings onto one of three hooks; each hook is worth either one, three, or five points. The contestants will go in ascending order of the number of words they formed, and the person who scores the most points wins.
Reward: A brand new 2006 Hyundai Sonata GLS V6
Winner: Zayn Nabbi

Final Words

Lezel and Brigitte's final words, delivered as jury members, were shown at the end of the episode.

	Lezel	“	It's inevitable that we would have a little bit of conflict and conflict hasn't really ever scared me, and I think we did it in the most respectful way possible, albeit somewhat fiery, um, but I- I wouldn't change anything. I fought the good fight to the end, and I'm happy that I did.	”

	Brigitte	“	I entered Survivor because I wanted to be more than I was, and I definitely think I achieved that. I'm a much stronger person now, and I think I'll be able to appreciate the smaller things in life much more.	”

Final Words

	Gareth	“	Out here you have nothing; you're basically surviving, and whether you wear the same pair of underwear for 27 days, you're still alive at the end of it, and you're okay. At the end of the day, the experiences have been worth a million bucks, so I'm leaving a richer person, even if my bank doesn't show it.	”
