This is done in two heats of five, the first two players in each to finish two laps move on. For the final round, the same thing is done, but players must do five laps, and move a medallion to the front each lap. First to move all five medallions to the front wins.

Ryan S. “ (voting for Burton) This vote is for Burton. He is beyond deserving. He brought the challenge home for us today. I know he'll represent us well. (voting for Lillian) Lill, I would never put your name down unless it was for something good. If it's not me, I hope it's you. ” Trish “ (voting for Lillian) Lill, I'm voting you back into the game because you, more than anybody, have something major to prove. I know this is extremely important to you, and I know you'll work with Burton to get down to the final 2. You'll do whatever it takes, and I hope you and Burton will get to be the final 2. Good luck. (voting for Burton) Burton, I'm voting you back in because I know you can win the individual immunities, and I think you have a real shot of winning. If I can't win, I want another Outcast member to win this thing. So good luck, buddy. I hope you can do it, and I hope you get back in the game. ” Burton “ (voting for Michelle) You're the only person in this game that I've talked to and trusted. And you're the only person that never lied to me. I hope you get a chance to go back in. (voting for Nicole) You're a really strong athlete. They never gave you a chance at the beginning. I hope this is your second chance. ” Lillian “ (voting for Trish) You've known me for very few hours, but the instant you came out, you were talking to me and the respect I get from you. I know I'm older than you, but it was nice having someone close to my age to talk to. I hope you get to go back in. (voting for Ryan S.) Ryan, you were my friend from the very beginning. You were my only friend this whole entire time. You accepted me no matter what. And I want you in almost as much as I want to be in. I hope we can be together. Thank you. ” Nicole “ (voting for Ryan S.) Ryan S., I'm voting for you because I honestly think you can win this game. I hope that you do. (voting for Lillian) Lill, my vote's for you. Quite honestly, because I don't want you complaining anymore that you're not in the game. That's why I'm voting for you. ” Michelle “ (voting for Burton) Obviously, out of the 16 people here, the most deserving person and the most capable. I think he can go all the way. Good luck, Burton. (voting for Nicole) Nicole, this is for the underdogs. I know you're one bad bitch, and I know you'll go and get 'em. Good luck. ”

Day 21

Tribal Council 10: Balboa
Voted Against	Voter
Andrew (6 votes)	Burton, Christa, Jon, Lillian, Rupert, Sandra
Jon (4 votes)	Andrew, Darrah, Ryan O., Tijuana
VOTED OUT: Andrew Savage

Voting Confessionals

Andrew and Jon's confessionals, as well as edited versions of Christa and Tijuana's confessionals, were shown in the episode.

Andrew “ (voting against Jon) Little Jon, you talk too much smack. ” Burton “ (voting against Andrew) Purely a strategic move to keep my alliance strong and tear your tribe apart. ” Rupert “ (voting against Andrew) After the feast, I tried to offer you a deal. It would have got you to six easy, and maybe more. Your three and my three. You tell me 'no.' And you come back two minutes before this damn council and say, 'yeah, it's a deal.' I can't change everything after that. Your own team started turning on you after that. You're gone man, I'm sorry. ” Jon “ (voting against Andrew) Ooh, yeah, Mr. Macho, Mr. Savage, going down. Dig it? ” Darrah “ (voting against Jon) I'm voting against you tonight, Jon, because of my alliance. Otherwise, you're a pretty cool guy, but I haven't gotten to know you well. ” Ryan O. “ (voting against Jon) It's not because I don't like you, I just don't know you. It's too early in the game. I don't know, you're the only one I could vote for. Alright man, see ya around. ” Christa “ (voting against Andrew) You're our biggest threat out here. You're such a smooth talker, dude. Bye. ” Sandra “ (voting against Andrew) I really didn't know you so there's not much I can say about you. Usually I say ugly things, but my alliance wants you gone so it's time for you to go, ya know? Adios. ” Tijuana “ (voting against Jon) Jonny Fairplay, this message goes for you. You came to our camp and you stirred things up at the Morgan tribe. Thereafter were some things coming from your tribe, that you're a troublemaker and that you're very manipulative. And when it comes down to it, my tribe thought that you were the person to go. I know it might not affect you tonight, but it may sometime in the future. ” Lillian “ (voting against Andrew) It's time I stood up for myself. I'm so happy we learned from each other, but now I have a new family to depend on. I would have been gone anyway. This is for me standing up. This is for my friend Nicole, and this is for Ryan Shoulders. And he does have 110 percent heart. ”

Final Words

	Andrew	“	I am unbelievably proud to be part of the Morgan tribe. We went through hell. And, to rally from losing the first three immunities, to even the score to five Morgan to five Drake, is a phenomenal accomplishment. Cheers to Morgan. Ryno, D, and T, stick it to Drake. Show them what we're made of and continue to make all of us proud.	”

Trivia

• Burton and Lillian became the first castaways to be voted out and re-enter the game.
• Neither Burton nor Lillian voted for each other to re-enter.
• Burton became the second person to win the Immunity Necklace and pass it to somebody else, following Jenna Morasca, and the first man to do so.
  • Burton is the first and so far only person to pass the Immunity Necklace to somebody else and still be immune from the vote.
  • This season's Immunity Necklace is not actually a necklace. The token for individual immunity is a cutlass in a scabbard to be worn on one shoulder.
• This episode marked the first time an episode began at Tribal Council. In a continuation of the previous episode, The Outcasts voted two people back into the game.
• The Outcasts' Tribal Council was the first time, other than the Final Tribal Council, that there was a Tribal Council in which people cast their votes for someone rather than against someone.
  • This is also the first Tribal Council where castaways are voting people back into the game.
• Jon Dalton's voting confessional against Andrew Savage is a reference to pro-wrestler Randy Savage, who went by the nickname "Macho Man".
• The second half of the episode aired on Christa Hastie's 25th birthday.
• This is the first non-finale episode to feature Tribal Councils on two different days.
• The name of the Immunity Challenge, Keel Hauling, likely references the concept of keelhauling, a form of punishment where sailors would be tied to a rope looped around a ship, thrown overboard, and then dragged under the ship's keel, either from port to starboard or bow to stern.
