Challenges
Edit
Reward Challenge: Know Your Loved One
Tribe members were to be asked a series of personal questions which their family had previously been asked on videotape. If each tribe member's answer matched the answer their family gave, they would score a point.
Reward: An exclusive resort in the Masai Mara, go on safari to see the migrating wildebeest, sleep in a real bed, and a feast, all charged to Jeff's own VISA credit card.
Winner: Lex (Shared with Tom)
Immunity Challenge: Pot Shots
Eighteen clay pots hung on a line. Each Survivor's name was marked on three pots. Using an African weapon known as a Ringa, the group had to throw the wooden sticks at their opponents' pots, trying to break the ones that didn't bear their own name. The last person left with an unbroken pot would win Immunity.
Winner: Tom
StoryEdit
Day 31Edit
For the next challenge, Jeff revealed greetings from videos sent by the Survivors' loved ones, leaving the castaways in tears. Jeff revealed that their loved ones will be an integral part of the challenge (see above). Knowing her wife so well and vice versa, Lex's answers were almost identical down to the letter, winning an all-expense luxury hotel accommodation, using Jeff's own credit card. Jeff then revealed that Lex can bring one tribemate to join him, in which he invited Tom. After Jeff jokingly begged to go easy on his Visa card, the two immediately boarded the airplane as the four other castaways went back to camp.
Upon reaching the hotel, Tom expressed his delight after seeing a bed and a toilet after a month. While enjoying the reward, tho agreed to not divulge too much on how their reward went to their tribemates. Back at camp, the girls killed time by creating a deck of cards. At night while Lex and Tom are eating a heavy meal, the other four survivors have no choice but to eat their usual corn mush for dinner.
Day 32Edit
Lex and Tom (albeit hungover) were awakened by hotel doormen, telling them that they would have a hot air balloon ride as their last order of business. Upon seeing the picturesque Kenyan landscape, Big Tom declared, "This game brought me new life." After the trip, the plane brought the two guys back to camp. Despite being happy when Tom and Lex returned, a distraught Ethan felt threatened that the two's full bellies will energize them for the upcoming Immunity Challenge. Teresa on the other hand became nervous about her and Kim P.'s fate, since they are the only two remaining members of the original Samburu tribe.
Day 33Edit
At the Immunity Challenge, Kim J. accidentally broke her own pot, while Tom was unstoppable after hitting several of her tribemates' pots. After a close a close match between Tom and Kim J., Kim J. hit Tom's second pot, but Tom hit the latter's last pot, earning him immunity.
Back at camp, tribal lines were now questioned and an idea of a gender-based vote was considered. Meanwhile, Lex felt concerned about Teresa, stating the the woman has "fire in her belly." "There's nothing more dangerous than a desperate animal," he added. Teresa on the other hand was trying to persuade Kim J. to vote challenge threat Lex out. Despite taking him after the last Reward Challenge, Tom still felt bitter of Lex for trying to save Brandon six days ago. "I'm still irritated with Lex," Tom said. "I feel like Lex betrayed me," Tom said.
But at Tribal Council, the old Boran alliance still held strong, and Kim P. was next to go in a 4-2 vote. This left Teresa as the last remaining member of the original Samburu tribe.

Voting ConfessionalsEdit
| “ | This is the part of the game I hate, having to vote someone out of the tribe that you really care about. I'm stoked you've made it this far though, really stoked. | ” |
| –Lex | ||
| “ | A strong competitor, this is why I'm giving you my vote. Still crazy about you though. | ” |
| –Teresa | ||
Final WordsEdit
| “ | It was a heck of a game. It was something that I'll never ever be able to describe in enough detail to get anybody who wasn't here any idea of what it was actually like to be out here. I've gained some courage and gained some inner strength and I'm very, very thankful for that. It's been something that will probably have changed me for the good, I hope. | ” |
