Challenges

• Reward
• Immunity

Challenge: Water Tower
In teams of four, the castaways must take six individually shaped pieces of scaffolding into the water one at a time and assemble them to make a climbable tower. The members must then retrieve a pennant and swim back to shore.
Reward: Feast at village with the local chief.
Winners: Light Green Team (Caryn Groedel, Gregg Carey, Janu Tornell and Tom Westman)

Challenge: Last Gasp
The castaways are inside the water under a set of bars. As the tide rises, it will become more difficult to breathe, and they must start actively fighting their fear of drowning. Last person left wins immunity.
Additional Stipulation: The first person to bail out of the challenge will be banished to another island for one night.
Winner: Tom Westman (Janu Tornell sent to Exile Island)

Final Words

	Janu	“	I asked them to please let me go home and it didn't work, so I made the last move, and I decided to take myself out of the game. I guess I did make a major power play and I guess I did ruin their plans. Even though I laid down my torch, no one will ever be able to take away this most unforgettable experience. No one.	”

Trivia

• This episode marks the first appearance of Exile Island. However, it would not become a season-long Survivor twist until Survivor: Panama.
• Janu became the first contestant to be sent to Exile Island.
• Janu became the first contestant to quit and be on the jury.
  • Due to the precedent set by this episode, she would be followed by NaOnka Mixon and Kelly Shinn of Survivor: Nicaragua. The Survivor Rulebook has since been amended to allow the producers to deny jury rights to quitters.
• Janu became the first contestant to quit and still give a final speech during the credits.
