Challenges

Duel

Challenge: Simmotion
The castaways would drop a ball into a metal chute. The ball would travel down a spiraling metal track and exit out of one of two points. The castaway would have to catch the ball and drop the ball back into the chute at the top. Every few minutes, an additional ball would be added to the track until six balls were simultaneously going around the track. A turnstile gate in the middle of the track would rotate, causing the balls to alternate exiting out of the two exits. If a ball exits the track and is not caught, the castaway would be eliminated from the challenge.
Winner: Christine Shields Markoski

Trivia

In this episode, Coach revealed that he does not like being called "Benjamin", and that his parents also address him as "Coach."
In this episode, Christine wins her third Redemption Island duel, which breaks the record for most duels won by a female player (she previously shared the distinction with Andrea Boehlke with two wins). Christine's third victory gives her the third-most overall duals won, behind Mike Chiesl and Matt Elrod.
This episode marks the first time a member of Upolu is eliminated from the game.
This episode's Redemption Island duel is a throwback of the final Immunity Challenge from Survivor: Tocantins.
This is the second time this season where someone is voted out despite receiving less than 50% of the votes after Christine's elimination three episodes earlier in He Has Demons.
This episode is named by Coach after his tribe won immunity.
This is the first time that John Cochran and Dawn Meehan were involved in a Tribal Council where someone was voted out by a 3-2-2 plurality. It would be followed by the second Tribal Council of The Beginning of the End in Survivor: Caramoan.
