Challenges

• Reward
• Immunity

Challenge: Boats Tug of War
Competing in teams of four, groups of opposing tribe members will be tethered to each other by their rowboats. Each team will paddle their boat in an attempt to pull themselves and their opponents' boat close enough so that they can grab their tribe flag, scoring a point. The first tribe to score three points wins.
Reward: A hotdog cart with toppings, condiments, and beverages
Winner: Water

Challenge: Puppet Master
One tribe member will cut a rope to release a cargo net, allowing their tribe to climb up to a platform. They will race down a slope to a series of balance beams; as each tribe makes its way across the balance beams, the members will collect boxes, which they will bring atop a tower and drop onto the ground, breaking them to release a ball. Four tribe members will slide down a fireman's pole to control a table maze from the ground, while the remaining members guide them to control the table such that the ball lands in the finishing hole. The first tribe to land their ball wins.
Winner: Water

Voting Confessionals

Mark was shown writing Sandra's name on the parchment. Nina's confessional was shown at the end of the episode.

	Jordie	“	(voting against Sandra) Queen Sandra, it's been an honour to play with you and an honour to take you out.	”

	Sandra	“	(voting against David) Adiós, mate.	”

	Nina	“	(voting against Sandra) You always tell me to stick with the majority, and unfortunately, it looks like the majority's coming after you. I wish we could have played together longer.	”

Final Words

	Sandra	“	I was actually taken by surprise because, all of a sudden, my daughter is looking at me funny and saying things, and I'm like, 'Oh, damn, her alliance is gonna get me', and that's exactly what happened. I can't critique her game because she's an athlete. She can play a strategic game, a physical game, and a social game, so she has all three components, so I wish her a ton of luck. I hope she comes home with the big cash money prize.	”
