Challenges

Immunity

Challenge: Big Oar Deal
The tribes would play a lacrosse-like game on the water. Each tribe member would be on a raft and have a paddle. Each round, Probst would toss a ball into the water. The castaways would paddle around the playing field, using the paddle to pass the ball from one tribemate to another. The first tribe to throw the ball three times into their opponents' goal would win.

Voting Confessionals

Jacquie did not say anything when she voted.

“	(votes for Jacquie) Jacquie, this wasn't my decision and sorry I had to do this, but, uh, good luck.	”
—Matty Whitmore

“	(votes for Jacquie) Sorry.	”
—Kelly Czarnecki

“	(votes for Jacquie) It was great knowing you, but you gotta go.	”
—Crystal Cox

“	(votes for Jacquie) Jacquie, I'm really sorry, but it's so hard to trust anyone right now, especially if they just came to our tribe. I wish I got to know you a lot sooner.	”
—Ken Hoang

“	(votes for Kelly) You know you voted for me last time, there's nothing like returning the favor.	”
—Ace Gordon

“	(votes for Jacquie) My vote is for Jacquie, I don't really want to cast this vote, but unfortunately, this is how my girl wants to vote tonight. I think you are a strong player and it would have been smarter to keep you but unfortunately, that's just how it is.	”
—G.C. Brown

Final Words

“	So, I just got voted out of Survivor, and I'm so upset. I'm… I… kind of thought I saw that coming, if I would have stayed in one more round, I feel like I could have made it all the way in this game. So they were probably smart in saving their own butts. But I'll be waiting for when they get kicked off.	”
—Jacquie Berg
