Challenge:Free Will The castaways will each have two handles that they will pull on to keep tension on a steel bar. If at any point, they release the tension, the bar will drop and break a tile below them, which puts them out of the challenge. The last person left standing wins their chosen reward. Additional Stipulation: There would be three different winners in this challenge, where the castaways would be categorized based on which type of reward they chose. Reward: A choice between "Food" (steak with mashed potatoes, vegetables, and wine), "Love" (a letter from home), or an advantage (revealed on the Island of Secrets to be an advantage in the next Immunity Challenge). Winners (in order of competition):Nicole Capper("Food"), Steffi Brink("Love"), Rob Bentele(Advantage)
Challenge:Roll Away the Dew Each castaway will have to balance a ball on a bow while traversing several obstacles. After getting through the obstacles and reaching a snake-shaped table maze, they will place their ball down before returning to the start to retrieve another ball. Once a castaway has all three of their balls, they will use a steering wheel to control their maze and land their balls in three slots along the maze. The first castaway to land all their balls wins. Reward: The winner also gets a Mahindra XUV300 car for a month back in South Africa. Winner:Rob Bentele
(voting against Steffi) If this works, as you say, we're going for a blindside. If it doesn't, I'm going down as one of the worst players in Survivor history.
(voting against Cobus) This plan has been lying in the wait since we were in Sa'ula. You are a strategic player and you're very strong. But, you just couldn't make it on, man, and this is the way it ends. Cheers.
(voting against Cobus) If you vote for me I vote for you. I've heard it that you and Jacques are gunning for me. So, it's either you or me, bru. Sorry.
(voting against Cobus) Cobus, this is a horrible but necessary strategy right now. Thank you for letting me into your heart. I look forward to catching up on the promenade soon.
At this moment I'm a bit bummed, I don't know what happened. Once again another Tribal Council where I'm not sure what was coming down. WTF? I had to jump ship which I did and it got me here. I'm not regretting one single thing, this was an amazing journey. Sad that it ended nine days to go, you don't always get what you want, but I'm grateful.
All three remaining original Sa'ula members won reward. This mirrors the outcome the previous time the "Free Will" challenge concept was used back in Survivor: Kaôh Rōng.
After Cobus' elimination, Jacques is the only original member of the Ta'alo tribe remaining.
The episode title is said by Laetitia as a description of the high-pressure environment of Tribal Council.
