Day 20

Day 21

Challenges

Challenge: Air Raid
Divided into two teams of five, castaways must race to the top of a tower. At the top of the tower, they will have to use a slingshot and sandbags to hit five targets. The first team to hit all five targets, indicated by a flag being released, wins.
Reward: A spaghetti dinner on a private island.
Additional Stipulation: Each member of the winning team will eat their meal alone, taking as much as they want from a shared portion of food. The order will be determined by the person who drew the white rock and consequently sat out of the challenge.

Winners: Blue Team (Chrissy Hofbeck, Cole Medders, Devon Pinto, JP Hilsabeck, and Ryan Ulrich) (joined by Joe Mena)

Challenge: Ten Foot Pole
Standing on a narrow beam, and using a long pole, castaways must balance a statue. At regular intervals, they will move further away from the statue. If at any point, they fall from the beam or drop their statue, they are out of the challenge. The last person left standing wins.

Winner: Cole Medders

(using voting advantage) I hope using this works for me somehow, someway.

Final Words

(tearfully) It didn't go as I had hoped or-or planned. It's truly heartbreaking. And I'm certainly not used to losing. It's not part of what I typically do, but, I guess, in this game I wasn't part of anybody's plan moving forward, so I have to just realize that's part of the game and somebody has to go home. And I don't think I have anything else to say.

Episode Title

Other

  • The first five castaways voted out from this season, Katrina Radke, Simone Nguyen, Patrick Bolton, Alan Ball, and Roark Luskin, were invited back to help test run this episode's Reward Challenge along with the Dream Team.[6]
  • At the end of this episode, all females from the original Soko tribe have been eliminated.
  • It should be noted that Jeff did not read all the votes to conceal the fact that Lauren invoked her advantage, thus reading only ten votes instead of eleven. Jeff explains that longtime fans know that he does not read all the votes once a contestant receives enough votes to be eliminated (i.e. the remaining unread votes would not have mattered regardless).[7]
