Challenges

• Reward
• Immunity

Challenge: Head and Shoulders
Two members of each tribe would be on platforms, and the other six members had to alternatively place steps in the air to move them from one to the next, which had to be untied first. When they reached the last platform, they had to swim to the last short platform.  Each of the eight members had to be on or above the tallest step to win.
Reward: A visit from a local bushman named Tata, who would teach the winning tribe how to improve their island life using the resources found on the island.
Winner: Bikal

Challenge: Smash and Grab
The survivors had to cross planks in the water and then swim from a pontoon to a bigger platform. From there they had to break tiles to get keys. They then had to unlock a crate with sand bags in them. They had to throw the bags at blocks. The first tribe to have knocked all the blocks off a big platform, which raises their tribe flag, wins.
Winner: Bikal

	Laura	“	(voting against Reynold) The idol's too dangerous.	”

Final Words

	Laura	“	As a viewer from the couch, you really only get to see one side. You don't feel the hunger, you don't feel the thirst in your mouth. It's very real. I knew coming in here that my muscles weren't my biggest asset, and I used everything else I had. I think a lot of my plans were left unresolved, but good luck to the rest of them, they really got me.	”

Trivia

Other

• This episode features an appearance from Tata the Bushman who Jeff Probst has stated he would like to appear again in the future.
• Tata, the native Filipino who was the reward for Bikal, previously appeared as a reward on Survivor: Srbija in 2010, when they shot a season in Caramoan.
• While it would seem that Tata said, "no bitching in the jungle" as he left Bikal camp, he actually meant vetsin (spoken in a heavy Filipino accent), the local term for monosodium glutamate (MSG), referring to most island foods being bland.
• This marks the only time that a vote was held on the same day following an evacuation.
  • This is also one of only two pre-merge instances where a tribe lost two members on the same day; it would be followed by Solana losing two members on Night 14 in Cagayan.
