Challenges
Challenge: Water Slaughter
Two members from each tribe would battle for a life ring. The tribe that gets one of their members to have a hand on the ring and one on their tribe's flagpole scores a point. The first tribe that scores three wins reward.
Reward: Peanut butter and jelly sandwiches with ice cold milk
Winner: Naviti (Kellyn Bechtold sent to Ghost Island via rock draw)
Challenge: Cell Block Sea
Each tribe will have to swim out to a bamboo cage, hop over, and dive in the cage to release a door underwater. They will then need to take a chest in the cage ashore, and race it across a track. On the track, the tribes will need to use a grappling hook to connect a missing piece of the track allowing them to get the chest to a perch. Using the balls in the chest, they will need to get all five of them on top of a narrow perch. The first tribe to do so wins.
Winner: Naviti

Final Words
|
“ | I'm clearly disappointed. The outcome wasn't what we wanted as a group of four. You know that happens in life—sometimes the ball bounces your way, sometimes not, but we went out swinging. After 16 years trying to get here, it's a pretty tough pill to swallow, but it's rare in life an experience lives up to expectations, and this one did. It's been a thrill, and I'm just so thankful for every minute I spent out here. | ” |
