Challenges

Reward/Immunity Challenge: A Bridge You Must Cross
Each tribe must first climb up and over a hill obstacle. One member will then dig up a ball from a sand pit, following which the tribe will pull down a ladder. Then, using a rope, four of the five tribe members will hold up a drawbridge while the last member runs across the bridge and pulls a lever that will prop up the bridge. The rest of the tribe will then cross the bridge and go down via a slide. One member will then untie a series of knots, before one member gets on a balance beam and negotiates a maze in the shape of a snake. The first two tribes to get their balls into the hole at the top of the maze win.
Reward: Fishing gear
Additional Stipulation: The losing tribe must forfeit their flint, though they can win it back if they win the next Immunity Challenge.
Winners (in order of finish): Ratu and Soka

Tribal Council

Tribal Council 2: Tika
Voted Against	Voter (Sarah ineligible to vote)
Helen (3 votes)	Carolyn, Carson, Yam Yam
Carolyn (1 vote)	Helen
VOTED OUT: Helen Li

Voting Confessionals

After losing her vote at the summit on Day 2, Sarah was shown reading that she had no vote at this Tribal Council. Helen was shown voting against Carolyn. Carolyn's vote was not shown during her confessional.

	Carolyn	“	(voting against Helen) Oh my God, why are there so many pieces up here, like, just put one! […] This is like a horror movie up here, like a haunted house!	”

Final Words

	Helen	“	I've dreamed of being on this show for so long and to be the third person voted out is not how I wanted it to end. I feel like I'm second-guessing every connection that I made, but you know it's a game so, I respect the move. Every single person played their part very, very well. I had no idea they were protecting their own game, so kudos to them. They did a great job.	”
