Reward: Option to chose between comfort items and campfire food. (Hunahpu chose comfort items)
Winner: Hunahpu (Jon Misch chose Drew Christy to accompany Jaclyn Schultz to Exile Island)

Challenge: The Cruel Sea
One person from each tribe will swim out, then race up a platform, dive into the water and retrieve a ring and bring it back. The next person from the tribe will then do the same. Once a tribe has collected all four rings, the two remaining tribe members will attempt to land those rings on posts. The first tribe to finish wins Immunity.

Final Words

	Drew	“	I knew all along those girls wanted me outta there 'cause I'm obviously a physical and social threat to them. Congrats to 'em, they did a great job by getting me out because in the long run I definitely would've beat them. I just wish I would've been a little bit more chill and kind of roll with the girls rather than kinda gone against them right away because [it] turned out to bite me in my butt.	”
