Mergatory is the sixth episode of Survivor 43.
Story[]
Day 12[]
Day 13[]
The castaways drew rocks to determine their team during the Immunity Challenge. Since there was an odd number of players, Noelle Lambert drew the odd grey rock and sat out of the challenge. Jeff Probst gave her the opportunity to bet on one of the teams; if her chosen team won, she would also win reward and immunity. She chose to back the blue team.

Challenges[]
Reward/Immunity Challenge: No Quarter
Each team will remove debris to uncover a sled. They will drag this sled to two stations to retrieve a total of six wooden crates. They will then use these crates to build a staircase, which one member will climb to retrieve a key. The members will then race up a warped wall. At the top, the team will use a key to unlock a set of puzzle pieces, which they will use to solve a jigsaw puzzle to spell the phrase "EARNING YOUR SPOT AT EVERY STAGE". The first team to finish their puzzle wins.
Reward: Merge feast
Additional Stipulation: The odd player out will choose one of the teams to root for at the challenge, and if that team wins, they will also win reward and immunity.
Winners: Blue Team (Dwight Moore, Jeanine Zheng, Jesse Lopez, Karla Cruz Godoy, Mike Gabler, and Ryan Medrano) (since Noelle Lambert guessed the winning team correctly, she also won reward and immunity)

Final Words[]
Elie |
“ | They got me. I think it was a good move, I had a lot more game to play. Gabler really threw me under the bus. I think he's the reason I'm here today. I'm sure I came out of the gate playing a little too hard, but I don't have any hard feelings and I had so much fun. This is an opportunity of a lifetime. I will never, ever forget the people that I met and the best time of my life. | ” |
