Day 1 (March 30) 
Ep.1 arrival: Marooning
As is often done, tribes are brought in by boat, and have one minute to gather as many items as they can, and board a raft. Much splashing and tossing ensues. |
Day 2 (March 31) |
Day 3 (April 1) 
Ep.1 RC/IC: Wooden Ships
Tribes must jump off a dock, swim to and climb into a boat, then one person at a time (Neal, Aubry; Darnell, Jennifer, Jason; Michele, Tai) must dive down and untie four paddles. Once all 4 paddles are retrieved, the tribe paddles to shore, then hauls the boat onto a cradle. After clipping in to a rope, they attach wheels to the boat and push/pull it up the hill, to the puzzle station, where they choose between a puzzle or dexterity test (all choose puzzle). Aubry and Liz solve the puzzle first for Brains, winning immunity and a fire-making kit. Despite a huge initial Beauty lead, Julia and Anna barely finish one piece ahead of Jennifer/Scot for Brawn. Beauty wins immunity and flint. TC1 - Darnell voted out (3-3 [4-0]), 17 left. |
Day 4 (April 2) 
Ep.2 idol (partial)
While his tribe is in the water, Tai finds a hidden idol clue tucked in a tree, which directs him to dig up the actual idol at the base of the tree. Unfortunately, it's in a locked box, and the instructions tell him to find the key in another tree. After injuring himself attempting to climb up, he gives up. |
Day 5 (April 3) |
Day 6 (April 4) 
Ep.2 RC/IC: Dragging the River
Julia and Debbie sit out. Five tribe members must carry a 300-lb log along a river/lagoon, under and/or through various obstacles, until finally reaching a cradle. There, they unwind a string and ball from it, and one person (Scot, Caleb, Peter) must use a slingshot to knock down two distant targets. All three tribes are tied at one target each, then Beauty wins, Brains finish second. In addition to immunity, Beauty wins a massive fishing kit and boat, Brains a smaller fishing kit. TC2 - Jennifer voted out (3-2), 16 left. |
| Ep3: "Circle of Life" | Ep4: "Signed, Sealed and Delivered" | Ep5: "The Devils We Know" | ||||
| Day 7 (April 5) 
Ep.3 Beauty idol
Tai apparently finally gets around to reading the tool instructions, and heads back into the jungle with a long stick. While he can't find the tool any more, he still releases the key, unlocks the idol, and learns about its potential superidol properties. 
Ep.3 Brawn idol
Alecia finds an idol clue while searching with Cydney. Jason catches them, but doesn't interrupt. Cydney locates the idol box (and tool instructions), but doesn't tell Alecia. She does, however, tell Scot and Jason, who race back to where Jason saw them, where Jason finds the tool instructions. Scot then uses the tool to release the key. Jason and Alecia scramble to grab it, Jason does so. They then open the idol box, remove the idol, and read the instructions. Jason keeps the idol. |
Day 8 (April 6) 
Ep.3 RC/IC: Rice Race
Aubry and Joe, Anna and Michele sit out. Tribes swim to a canoe, where one person climbs in and hands off three bags of rice to their tribemates. The tribe must pass the bags through a small hole in a gate, then carry them over a balance beam to the beach. There, they cut the bags open and retrieve three balls, all of which must be maneuvered to the top the 'swiss cheese' board from Worlds Apart. Julia, Tai, and Caleb place all three balls for Beauty, which finishes first, chooses comfort items for reward. Liz and Peter place a ball each for Brains, Jason and Scot for Brawn. The final immunity slot comes down to a split-second race between Cydney and Debbie. Cydney wins second place for Brawn, which gets 'emotional items' for their reward. TC3 - Liz voted out (2-2-2 [3-0]), 15 left. |
Day 9 (April 7) 
Ep.4 RC: Dig It
Neal, Anna, Julia sit out. Contestants must cross obstacles, then dig up three bags from a large sand pit. The digging takes ~45 minutes in full, 120-degree sun. Brains (Peter, Debbie, Aubry-1 bag each) get their bags first, complete the final stage (place 6 balls in a skee-ball course: Aubry-2, Peter-3, Debbie-1) before the other tribes get their third bag. Beauty gets their third bag next (Nick-2, Caleb-1). Caleb is shooting as Debbie passes out from heat exhaustion. Caleb (4+) & Nick (1+) switch off, place five balls. Then Brawn gets their third bag (Scot-2, Jason-1), place three balls (Jason-1, Scot-2) making it 5-3. Caleb sinks final ball for Beauty, winning second place. Brains get coffee/kitchen items reward, Beauty gets spices. 
Ep.4 medevac
After the Brains win the challenge, Debbie gets medical attention for heat exhaustion. The challenge continues, as Caleb secures second place for Beauty. Then Caleb collapses. As Caleb is getting tended to, Cydney collapses, too. The entire crew helps tend to the fallen contestants. Eventually, Debbie and Cydney return to normal temperature, but Caleb is pulled from the game and helicoptered out to a hospital. |

Then two more people must use the pieces to complete a snake puzzle: Anna, Julia; Cydney, Alecia; Neal, Debbie. Peter swaps for Debbie, Brains first. Nick swaps for Anna. Beauty second. Brawn loses again. TC4 - Alecia voted out (3-1), 13 left. |
