Hiding in Plain Sight is the eleventh episode of Survivor 43.

Challenges

Immunity Challenge: Last Gasp
The players must swim under a steel grate and stay above the water. As the tide rises, players will run out of breathing room. If the fear of drowning is too much, that person can bail out. The last person still under the grate wins the challenge.
Additional Stipulation: For finding the Choose Your Champion advantage, Cody had the opportunity to bet on one person whom he thought would win; if he was correct, Cody would also win immunity.
Winners: Karla Cruz Godoy and Owen Knight (since Cody Assenmacher bet on Owen, he also won immunity)

Voting Confessionals

No voting confessionals were aired in this episode. Karla's confessional was aired in the next episode.

	Karla	“	(voting against Sami) All you had to do was vote the right way, and your ass would still be here.	”

Final Words

	Sami	“	The dominoes started to tumble after the last vote. I started to lose control of my fate in the game, so I played my Shot in the Dark cause I felt like I'd rather go out swinging for the fences and sometimes those moves don't work out, but I'm happy with the way I played. A million dollars for a nineteen-year-old kid probably wouldn't have gotten the best of things anyways. I was starting to like Teslas a lot and my mom doesn't really like electric cars, so I think this works out better for us both.	”
