Challenges

• Reward
• Immunity

Challenge: Dirty Water Dog
The tribe will divide into two teams. A member from each team will dive into the water and swim to a platform. They will then climb up the platform and jump off it, while grabbing a key. Once they are back in the water, they will collect puzzle pieces and swim them back to their team's platform. Then the next person goes. Once each team has collected all their keys and puzzle pieces, they will use them to build a puzzle statue. The first team to get it right wins.
Reward: Delivering baseball gear to kids and baseball snacks
Winner: Yellow Team (Alec Christy, Jaclyn Schultz, Jon Misch, and Reed Kelly) (Reed Kelly gave up his reward to Missy Payne; exiled Wes Nale)

Challenge: Uncomfortably Numb
Each person will balance their feet on a very narrow perch while holding a handle above their head. If at any point, they let go of the handle or a foot comes off the perch, they are out of the challenge. The last person left standing wins immunity
Additional Stipulation: While the challenge is in progress, Jeff Probst would also tempt castaways to forfeit the challenge in exchange for food.
Winner: Reed Kelly

Final Words

	Wes	“	I hope my dad goes far. I hope he gets to the Final 3 and I hope he wins a million bucks. This is the experience of a lifetime and I'm glad I got to experience with him. Those wings were definitely not a million dollars. I do regret that decision on stepping off but, you know, you gotta wing it sometimes and take risks and you gotta risk it to get the biscuit.	”
