Challenges

• Reward
• Immunity

Challenge: Ferryman
From a platform out at sea, four tribe members will board a raft and pull themselves to another platform near shore. They must then climb the structure, untie a key, and slide down a bamboo pole to shore; where they must then hook their key onto a post. Once all four keys are back on shore, the other four tribe members proceed one at a time to unlock cages containing colored cubes. They must then stack the cubes so that there are no repeating colors on any side. The first tribe to finish wins.
Reward: A choice between chickens or a bag of rice.
Winner: Mindanao (chose chickens)

Challenge: Styx
Each tribe will use a set of stilts to build a staircase to the entrance of a bamboo maze. Once every member of the tribe has gotten through the maze, one member of each tribe will have to maneuver a key through a rope tangled around another maze, which would be used to unlock a machete. Once the key is freed, the rest of the tribe will race through the maze. One tribe member will then unlock the machete and use it to cut through a piece of wood covering a rope; once the rope is severed, a set of puzzle pieces will drop for two tribe members to arrange and solve a vertical puzzle. When the puzzle is complete, they will find three double-digit numbers which they will input into a combination lock and release a flag. The first tribe to release their flag wins.
Winner: Mindanao

Voting Confessionals

• First Vote
• Revote

Neil's voting confessional was aired during his final words.

Chane “ (voting against Josie) Sorry, Josie. You were just second in line. ” Annalize “ (voting against Josie) Sorry, Josie. But I hope we can have a drink back in Cape Town. ” Neil “ (voting against Josie) This game is cruel, and I'll miss you. ” Tom “ (voting against Josie) Tonight, Josie, I am voting for you. I am so sorry, I didn't want it to be this way, but I think there's an idol in play. If not, I'll eat my words. ” Vusi “ (voting against Annalize) Annalize, I am voting for you because you say you can swim but so can we, so... not much of a talent. ” Josie “ (voting against Annalize) This may be the last chance that I get to break up the four. But I believe we are playing more for merge than they are for the benefit of the tribe. ” Palesa “ (voting against Annalize) Annalize, removing a few bananas from the boxes and giving it to people is not cooking or feeding people. You've made us slower in a few challenges, and maybe you are dead weight and you need to go. ” Ace “ (voting against Annalize) Sorry, Annalize. You're a wonderful person, but the four-headed general is just becoming a little bit too strong. Specifically, the two heads of you and Chané, so one of the heads needed to be chopped off. All the best. ”

No voting confessionals were shown for the revote.

Final Words

	Neil	“	I laugh at the irony of it. The whole team unanimously saying to me that 'you lead us', and then having to choose a rock that says 'no, you're going home'. […] I trusted the four people I built an alliance with. The fifth was always going to be skittish, and tonight just proved that percentage was actually right.	”
