| Day 1 (Apr. 20) 
Ep.1 RC: Cube-Bert Sea
Two contestants (Jake, Annie; MC, Matt; Jawan, Rizo) must run out to untie and bring back two large crates. Two more people (Steven, Sophie; Shannon, Savannah; Alex, Jeremiah) then swim out to a boat (containing more crates) unclip it, and pull it back to shore. Then the entire tribe unloads the remaining crates, and two people (Jason, Kristina; Nate, Sage; Sophi, Nicole) use the crates to build a cube puzzle. Finally, one person (MC, ?, ?) stands on top of the finished puzzle and retrieves a mallet from a pole, then jumps off the cube to hit a bell with the mallet. First tribe to ring their bell wins flint and camp supplies. Results: Kele lags badly on the boat task, Jason and Kristina take a huge lead on the puzzle, and Hina wins easily. 
Ep.1 journey: Fight for Supplies
Alex and Rizo attend. They must race out the peninsula to gather 10 coconuts with their tribe logo. When they have all 10, they open them, releasing puzzle pieces. The puzzle is a map, and reveals the location of a ship's wheel, which they then retrieve, put it on their flagpole, and turn to raise a flag. First to do so wins supplies. Results: Alex is first to finish the puzzle. Alex digs forever, never finds it, giving Rizo time to catch up. Rizo wins! |
Day 2 (Apr. 21) |
Day 3 (Apr. 22) 
Ep.1 RC/IC: Baby Snakes
In pairs, contestants must go through a rope tunnel, through a mud pit under a net, then run into the jungle to untie and haul back a 200-lb serpent, bring it back through the rope tunnel, and put it on a frame. Once all three are back, three people (Sophie, Matt, Jason; Sage, Nate, Rizo; Alex, Nicole, Annie) must maneuever a ball through a horizontal snake track, avoiding obstacles.First tribe to finish wins immunity plus a large tool kit. Second place also wins immunity, plus a hammer and rope. Results: Kele is last to the snake but soon catches up ... but then drops right at the end, as they race Uli for second. Hina wins, Uli is second. Kele loses. TC1 - Nicole voted out (5-1), 17 left. |
Day 4 (Apr. 23) 
Ep.2 journey: Matt, Jake, Jawan
Jawan, Matt, Jake attend. Upon arrival, the contestants learn they must throw coconuts into baskets, each marked with one of their names (as in "Nut Bucket"). Once enough coconuts have landed, the basket will be sufficiently heavy to sink, then drop. The goal is to be the person whose basket is last still up. After that, the two losers will leave while the winner will remain to receive an unspecified advantage. Results: Pretty even all around, but Matt's basket drops first, then Jake's. They leave, Jawan opens the bag to find a choice: "Help yourself" (steal either Matt's or Jake's next vote, giving Jawan an extra one) or "Help your tribe" (give a disadvantage to one of the other tribes in the next challenge). We are not shown his choice (tribal disadvantage) until he returns to camp. |
Day 5 (Apr. 24) 
Ep.2 RC/IC: Mona Lisas and Mad Ladders
Sage, Kristina sit out, Contestants must cross an elevated net crawl, a long-step ramp, then dig up a ladder, one person (Sophi, Jason, Savannah) climbs it to retrieve a bag with a key from an overhead bar. Then one person (Jake, Matt, Nate) uses the key(s) to unlock a rope gate, and finally, all must help each other up a steep ramp. Once all are up, two people (Sophi, Alex; Sophie, Jason; Savannah, Nate) must build a two-sided block puzzle. Jawan plays his disadvantage: Every person on that tribe has to cross the course carrying 20 lbs of coconuts on their back, plus they have 10 keys to open a gate. Results: Kele is first by a mile to the puzzle, but the other tribes catch up, and pass Kele easily. Hina wins, gets immunity and large fishing gear kit, Uli is second, gets immunity and less fishing gear. 
Ep.2 idol: Alex
While searching with Jake, Alex finds the Beware advantage package, and they decide to open it. Alex learns he has lost his vote until the idol is recovered, and he can't start the search until his tribe has lost an immunity challenge. (Presumably, this happened Day 4-5). After losing the IC on Day 5, Alex and Jake dig by the well to initiate the search (as instructed), bring in Sophi on the search, and eventually (after Sophi initially finds and re-hides the box) Alex finds the idol box. He opens it, and retrieves a fully powered idol, good until five are left. TC2 - Annie voted out (4-1), 16 left. |
Day 6 (Apr. 25) 
Ep.3 medevac: Jake
Jake is relaxing on the beach, and discovers a sea krait - a highly venomous snake - "latched on" to his foot. Producers check on him, and he's whisked away by boat to base camp, where the full medical team treats him. They conclude it's probably a "dry bite," meaning no venom was delivered, but they can't be sure, so he's pulled from the game and sent to a hospital in Fiji, then Australia, for complete testing. Jake then is sent home to Canada, where he returns in time for the birth of his son. 
Ep.3 RC/IC: Sea of Love
(Jake officially removed prior to IC,) Shannon, Jawan, Rizo; Sophie, Matt, MC sit out. Contestants must cross a series of obstacles in the water (two story platform jump, teeter-totter with untying a key, wobbly platforms. Finally, two players (Alex, Jeremiah; Sage, Nate; Jason, Steven) must use the keys to unlock puzzle pieces and solve a vertical turtle puzzle. Winner gets immunity plus a large tarp & two hammocks, second place gets immunity plus a small tarp. Results: Hina wins again, Uli second. TC3 - Jeremiah voted out (2-[0]), 14 left. |
Day 7 (Apr. 26) 
Ep.4 tribe swap
The tribes arrive at what appears to be a challenge set up for three tribes with two people each (to accomodate Kele's two remaining players), but Probst quickly tells them they're swapping instead ... and it's to two tribes! New Hina is Jawan. Jason, Matt, Nate, Rizo, Savannah, and Sophie. The second tribe is new ... Kele, and they (Alex, Kristina, MC, Sage, Shannon, Sophie, Steven) get sent back to the camp with no supplies, instead of to Uli. Yay? |

| Day 8 (Apr. 27) 
Ep.4 RC/IC: Stackie Robinson
Five people from each tribe must jump off a dock and swim, pulling two more tribe members (Rizo, Sophi; Shannon, Sophie) in a boat, towards shore. Along the way, they collect 10 small cubes. Once they reach the shore, one person (Matt, MC) must carry the smaller blocks across a multi-level balance beam. Then the rest must carry 10 bigger blocks on a board hanging from ropes. Once all the blocks are across the balance beam, they must then stack them to make a 20-block tower. Results: Kele has a lead heading into the stacking, The top blocks require readjustment of the human ladder to reach the top for both teams, but eventually Kele wins. They also get a fruit basket. 
Ep.4 idol: Rizo
After the IC, Savannah, Jawan, and Nate decide to dig up the idol clue/key at the well, to give to Rizo. They hand the clue and key over to Rizo, and he retrieves the idol fairly easily, from a small underwater treasure chest in an area behind the rock formation near camp. It's a fully powered idol, good to final five. TC4 - Matt voted out (4-2-1), 13 left. |
Day 9 (Apr. 28) 
Ep.5 journey: Sandbags
MC and Nate arrive, and learn they have both lost their votes … unless they can transfer a pile of heavy sandbags from a pile to a spot much further down the beach, all in the alotted time. Luckily, MC is "a machine" according to Nate. Midway through the effort, MC uncovers a second message that tells them an advantage awaits in the jungle, and whoever finds it gets the advantage plus their vote, but the other person has to finish the task alone if they want their vote back. Nate convinces MC they should move all but the final bag, then go look. They do, but Nate also reveals he doesn't want the advantage himself, and doesn't want MC to get it, so he calls her back well before time runs out. Together they decide that's fine, and don't want to risk their votes, so they complete the task. |
