Challenges

Immunity Challenge: The Game is Afoot
Using only their feet, castaways must unwind a rope to release blocks that they will use to assemble a three-tiered tower. However, they may use their hands to return fallen blocks to the basket. Once the tower is assembled, they must place a flag in the middle of the tower. The first person to do so wins.
Additional Stipulation: Because Erika broke the hourglass on Exile Island to reverse the results of the previous challenge, the winning team from that challenge will have the immunity part of their win revoked and be transferred to the losing team and Erika herself, forcing the winning team to compete for individual immunity.
Winner: Ricard Foyé

Tribal Council

Tribal Council 7: Merge

Sydney (5 votes)	Erika, Heather, Liana, Naseer, Shan
Evvie (4 votes)	Danny, Deshawn (x2), Ricard
Deshawn (3 votes)	Evvie, Tiffany, Xander

Voting Confessionals

For choosing to risk his vote at the journey on Day 5, Deshawn found the Extra Vote advantage when he was called to vote. Tiffany was shown writing down Deshawn's name. Ricard was shown writing down Evvie's name. Erika was shown writing down Sydney's name. No voting confessionals were aired.

Final Words

	Sydney	“	The worst case scenario happened. Had I not played the Shot in the Dark, things would've gone differently. But it shows me my instinct was right. I like to believe I'm not on the jury so that I don't see their faces ever again, and I'm just glad I'm leaving because whatever I have outside of this game is five hundred-kajillion times better. So that makes me feel good, even if it's super immature.	”

This week's Survivor GWG: "Idol in my pocket!"

• This is the first episode since "It's Like the Worst Cocktail Party Ever" to include a "Previously on Survivor" segment at the start of the episode.
• This episode broke the record previously set in "No Good Deed Goes Unpunished" for most castaways with individual immunity at the same Tribal Council, with 7. This record would be tied the next season in "The Devil You Do or the Devil You Don't" and in "Mergatory".
• The answer to this week's Survivor GWG puzzle is "Idol in my pocket", a line said by Sophie Clarke upon being voted out in "This Is Extortion" in Survivor: Winners at War with an unused Hidden Immunity Idol. The puzzle was hidden at the Reward Challenge.
