Castaways are split up into two teams of four for this challenge. In 3 circles are two drums (one red, one yellow). Each team must attempt to flip over 3 of their drums at the same time, while preventing the other team from doing so. The first team to score 3 points wins.
Reward: A day at the spa, feast.
Winner: Red Team (Abi-Maria Gomes, Carter Williams, Malcolm Freberg, and Pete Yurkowski)

The first five to complete the course advances to the 2nd course, where they must navigate the buoy through a rope maze while moving across a balance beam.

Final Words

	Pete	“	I felt bad for Abi. Uh, she's crying and everybody ripped her apart. Uh, I've kind of learned to deal with her, but, I mean, I needed to for my game. Malcolm has a lot of power right now, he's definitely someone that they needed to get rid of, but they didn't want to do anything with it. I have a ton of regrets, but I feel good about how I left the island. I'm not happy I left it, but I did what I could.	”

Trivia

Life at Ponderosa

Pete undergoes a medical evaluation and learn he lost 20 lbs. He arrives at Ponderosa, where RC asks him if he regrets not trusting her. Pete says it does not matter. Artis arrives and warmly greets Pete.

The next day, while the men are doing separate activities, RC lounges in the movie room by herself.

Behind The Scenes

• In an interview with Dalton Ross, Jeff Probst explained that during the test run of the Reward Challenge, the Dream Team initially had a more physical approach to the challenge compared to the actual survivors. The Dream Team wrestled each other to hinder the other team from flipping their drums.
• Pete tries to convince Abi to let him use her Hidden Immunity Idol. Abi refuses to do so because she does not want to come across as "stupid". Pete dismisses the argument, saying that Brandon Hantz giving up his Immunity Necklace (and was promptly voted out) in "Then There Were Five" befits "stupid" more.

Other

• This is the first non-recap episode to air the week of Thanksgiving Day since "Why Would You Trust Me?", six years prior.
  • Coincidentally, these two episodes contain the only two post-merge rounds in which Jonathan is eligible to receive votes, but does not.
• With Pete's elimination, Michael Skupin is the last man from Tandang left in the game.
