Day 34[]
At the Reward Challenge, Yau-Man wins a 2008 Ford Super Duty truck. He makes a deal with Dreamz that if he gives the truck, Dreamz must give up the Immunity Necklace to Yau-Man if Dreamz wins the Immunity Challenge at the final four. Because of this, Dreamz wants to get rid of Yau-Man before the Immunity Challenge. Yau-Man then sends himself to Exile Island. Back at camp, Dreamz tells everyone to vote Yau-Man, which everyone except Earl, Yau-Man's long-time ally, agrees to.

Day 36[]
After Boo won the Immunity Challenge, the tribe returns to camp where Yau-Man shares the clue to the Hidden Immunity Idol to Earl. Earl uses the clue to find the Hidden Immunity Idol in a hollow pine tree. At Tribal Council, Yau-Man plays the Hidden Immunity Idol, resulting in everyone's votes against him to not count, and instead, Stacy is sent home due to Yau-Man and Earl voting against her.
Challenges[]
Challenge: Keep On Truckin/An Axe to Grind
The challenge consisted of two parts:
- Team Reward: Harnessed together in teams of three, the final six must cross three individual seesaws (with each team member going over the three different-sized seesaws in a different order) without falling, crawl through a net maze, dig up a hatchet buried somewhere in a sandpit, unwrap it, and chop through a rope.
- Individual Reward: The winning team must throw hatchets at a wall to break two crisscrossing ropes, making a set of truck keys catapult into the air.
Winners: Orange Team (Boo Bernis, Stacy Kimball, and Yau-Man Chan) (Yau-Man also won a new truck, then gave his reward to Dreamz Herd, and exiled himself)
Challenge: Grapple Perch
Castaways use a rope-and-ball to snag a hoop and pull it to lower the balance beam in each round. First four move on to the second round, where it will happen all over again, first two move on to the final. For the final, they must cross the final beam, stand on a tiny perch, and use a grappling hook to retrieve a buoy, making a second buoy float.
Winner: Boo Bernis

Final Words[]
|
“ | Tonight I gambled, hoping that Yau-Man wouldn't pull out the Hidden Immunity Idol, which he did, and I was out-voted. I don't think I've ever been tested in so many different ways. Making it 36 days is a big accomplishment, and I hope that I've made my friends and my family proud. I did my personal best and definitely walk away with a big smile. | ” |
