Challenges

• Reward
• Immunity

Challenge: Tiers of Heaven
Two at a time, members of each tribe will race out to crawl under a net and retrieve heavy puzzle blocks. Once each tribe member has collected a puzzle piece, two members will piece together the blocks to form a podium. Once the puzzle is completed, one tribe member will climb the podium and use a long stick to release a ring from a tall pole. The first tribe to finish wins.
Reward: Pot, machete, and flint
Additional Stipulation: The two losing tribes will have to earn their supplies in a penalty challenge waiting for them at camp. Furthermore, the second tribe to finish the challenge will get to choose their preferred task, leaving the last-place tribe with the other task.
Winner: Nami

Challenge: Lizard King
The castaways must race up a ramp and untie a 15-foot, 500-lb. dummy gecko. They will then work together to pull it down another ramp, up and over a wall, through a tunnel of ropes, and finally up a ramp to the finish platform. Once the gecko is clipped in, two members will work to solve a jigsaw puzzle. The first two tribes to solve their puzzle win.
Additional Stipulation: The losing tribe must forfeit their flint, though they can win it back if they win the next Immunity Challenge.
Winners (in order of finish): Nami and Siga

Voting Confessionals

After losing the game at the summit, Jelinsky found that he had lost his vote for this Tribal Council. No voting confessionals were aired. A transcript of the confessionals was posted by Mike Bloom on Twitter.

Jelinsky “ (shows no vote) If I somehow make it out of this vote tonight, I'll know where I stand. And I stand somewhere really good. (searches voting booth for idols) ” Kenzie “ (voting against Jelinsky) You can't stop talking. It's too early to be blabber mouthing everything. ” Bhanu “ (voting against Jelinsky) Love you, man, but I have to stick with the tribe. ” Q “ (voting against Jelinsky) I hope you take this experience and you understand. You're a good kid, but you can't give up so much. ” Tiffany “ (voting against Jelinsky) First I hope I didn't butcher your last name. I hope you can still come to Jersey. I can't be on a tribe with someone who I can't trust with my secrets. ” Jess “ (voting against Jelinsky) At the time he was supposed to be a team player, he wasn't. If there's a universe where the tribe keeps him over me, I'd really like to know where that is. Thank you. ”

Final Words

	Jelinsky	“	This was a huge blindside. I thought with every ounce in my body that Jess was going home tonight. I was the first one voted out, but sometimes that's just how the cards fall and I didn't even get to cast a vote this season, that's horrible. You know, when you're comfortable in this game, that's when you go home and that's exactly what happened to me.	”
