Both castaways sent to the Island of Secrets will play a game of Connect Four. They will take turns placing discs into a board with the objective of connecting four discs in a row, column, or diagonal. The first castaway to win three rounds wins the challenge.
Reward: Clue to a Hidden Immunity Idol hidden in the voting urn.
Winner: Mmaba Molefe

Challenge: TBA
Each castaway must swim out to a bamboo cage in the ocean to retrieve a key. After retrieving the key, they will race back to shore to unlock a box, which will release a pair of ropes. By shaking the ropes battle-ropes style, they will unknot the rope to release a second key, which they will use to unlock a box containing puzzle pieces. The first castaway to solve their three-dimensional octopus puzzle wins.

Voting Confessionals

Mmaba was shown writing down Jacques' name and taking the Hidden Immunity Idol from the lid of the voting urn. No voting confessionals were aired.

Jacques “ (voting against Rob) You're a true warrior, man. Lot of respect. ” Laetitia “ (voting against Mmaba) It's either you or me tonight. ” Steffi “ (voting against Mmaba) It was amazing to spend time with you, but you've got an advantage in this game, and you're on the opposite side of the enemy line. So, I'm sorry, but you gotta go. ” Durao “ (voting against Mmaba) You have a lot more fight in you, but now it's too late. ” Rob “ (voting against Mmaba) I don't like advantages, so I'm sending you home with an advantage. ” Nicole “ (voting against Mmaba) Mmaba, nothing but mad love for you girl. This is purely strategy. See you. ” Mike “ (voting against Jacques) I've been already done for voting someone who just played an idol, but if I keep trust for just one more vote some sparks might just fly. ” Mmaba “ (voting against Jacques) I'm hoping third time's the charm. ”

Final Words

	Mmaba	“	(tearfully) For some stupid reason I felt safe, even though I should've known better. And it's stupid because I was at the bottom and the only chance I had to do something about it, I did not. This is my regret. (shows her Hidden Immunity Idol) This right here. Not trusting myself. And I'll take that lesson going forward into the future, or at least pin it in my heart.	”
