Survivor: Cook Islands

Contestants were given two minutes to salvage whatever they could from a boat before having to paddle to their shore. As the castaways frantically scoured the ship for supplies, Puka Puka's Yul grabbed a chicken but got distracted by the commotion, and the chicken escaped and got into the hands of Rarotonga's Jonathan. At Aitutaki, Billy haplessly created shelter, but Ozzy's survival skills duped him. In Rarotonga, Jonathan's stolen chicken escaped when Jessica accidentally freed it, angering Jonathan. At Manihiki, the women complained as their leader Sekou took a lot of breaks.

• Reward/Immunity Challenge: The tribes must race to assemble a puzzle boat using seven braces, then paddle the boat out and retrieve fire from a bonfire floating on a raft in the ocean. Then they must paddle back to shore and carry the boat braces and fire with them. After putting together yet another puzzle, they must use the braces as ladder rungs, climb to the top of a platform and light their tribe fire bale. The first three tribes to the top win flint and immunity, and the first-placing tribe will also receive a crate full of fire-making essentials, including kerosene and waterproof matches. This challenge would later appear in Survivor: Heroes vs. Villains.

In a combined Reward/Immunity Challenge, all tribes, except for Manihiki, won flint and immunity. In addition, Puka Puka, who came in first, received the fire-making kit. Sekou and Nate, the men of Manihiki, sent Jonathan from Rarotonga to Exile Island in return for Puka Puka's lost chicken. This decision alienated Manihiki's female majority, for they felt isolated as the boys took the responsibility of sending someone to Exile Island for themselves. In the end, Stephannie, Sundra and Rebecca banded together to get rid of their overbearing but weak leader Sekou in a 3–2 decision. After the vote, they received their flint so they could make fire.

Day 4 started well for Manihiki when the tribe managed to start a fire. Jonathan returned from Exile Island to Rarotonga, and was disappointed that nothing much had changed since he had left. At Puka Puka, tribe members rapidly became fed up with Cao Boi's jokes and never-ending stories. At Aitutaki, feeling like his tribe could do better, Ozzy forced his tribe to throw the next immunity challenge to get rid of Billy, who had not been putting in much effort at camp.

• Reward/Immunity Challenge: Before the challenge starts, host Jeff Probst will tell a story about the voyage of James Cook. Each tribe must remember a historical story of Captain James Cook. Tied together as a group, the tribe must make their way over and under logs and through a field of poles, gathering seven answer flags. Once they cross a two-line rope bridge over a pit of water, they must use the seven answer flags collected to solve five questions about the story. If a tribe misses a part of the storyline, they may consult from their copy of the story; but they must go back through the course to reread it. The first tribes to complete the challenge will receive tarps, and the three top finishers win Immunity.

At the challenge, Puka Puka and Rarotonga tied for first place, so they each received two large tarps as reward and immunity. Manihiki finished third and was also safe from Tribal Council. The losing tribe, Aitutaki, sent Yul from Puka Puka to Exile Island, where he successfully deciphered the clues to discover the hidden immunity idol in the sand. At Tribal Council, Billy gushed about finding love with Rarotonga's Candice, which was later found to be his taking her comments to him wildly out of context. Candice said "we love you" to him in order to lift his spirits after he admitted his vulnerability post-challenge loss, but he misunderstood and claimed that she said "I love you" to him. Sticking to Ozzy's plan, Billy was voted out 4–1.

Instead of a reward challenge, the four ethnically-divided tribes will be merged as two new ones. Manihiki and Puka Puka were dissolved, and the supplies that were left at those camps were equally divided by the newly rehashed Aitutaki and Rarotonga tribes. At the new Aitutaki, Cecilia told Candice of what happened during the previous Tribal Council (Billy's "I love you" incident), leaving a bewildered Candice laughing as she made alliances with Yul, Becky and Jonathan. Yul also told Becky that he found the Hidden Immunity Idol.

• Immunity Challenge: The tribes will be clipped together by a rope, with each member carrying a 15-pound sandbag. They will start on opposite sides of the course, racing through knee-deep water to catch the other tribe. If a tribe member drops out they must give their 15 pounds to someone from their tribe, doubling that person's weight. The first tribe to tackle a member from the other tribe to the ground wins Immunity.

During the Immunity Challenge, the Aitutaki men tried to fend off the fronting Rarotonga men (Adam, Brad, J.P., and Nate), but to no avail as Rarotonga tackled them, securing Immunity for their team. Rarotonga banished Candice to Exile Island, thus throwing the Becky-Candice-Jonathan-Yul alliance plans into disarray, as she would be immune from the vote and would not need to go to Tribal Council. Cao Boi, Cecilia, Jessica, Ozzy, and Sundra banded together to try to vote out Becky. After strong lobbying by Jonathan and Yul, Cao Boi and Jessica switched their vote to Cecilia, who was voted out 5–3.

At Aitutaki, Ozzy became furious about the elimination of his only remaining fellow Aitutaki tribemate Cecilia, but his tribemates comforted him. At Rarotonga, the women complained about the men's growing egotism, specifically J.P.'s bossiness.

• Reward Challenge: Each tribe will have two tribe members attached by belt to a rope, which snakes over, under and around a series of obstacles. The rest of the tribe will push and pull their two tribe members, attached to the rope, through the course. Once the entire tribe reaches the end of the rope, one person from each tribe will swim out to a barrel where they will retrieve a decoding wheel, bring it back to the tribe mat and use that decoder wheel to decipher one phrase. The tribe that solves the phrase first wins three blankets, two pillows and one hammock.

Aitutaki won the reward and chose Adam to be Exiled. After the Reward Challenge, Cao Boi went egg hunting, but instead knocked down a chick from a nest, which disturbed Jonathan. However, Cao Boi successfully returned the chick to the nest.

• Immunity Challenge: Members from each tribe will assemble a stretcher puzzle and race through the jungle with the stretcher to the beach. Once there, one tribe member will swim out to rescue another tribe member shackled to the top of a mast. Both members will swim back to the beach while holding onto a life ring, place the rescued tribe member on the stretcher and race back through the jungle to their starting mat. There, the remaining three tribe members must build a fire tall and strong enough to burn through a rope and raise the tribe's flag. First tribe to unfold their flag wins.

Cao Boi's tactics, albeit unorthodox — such as dancing crazily with a smoking coconut husk — carried Aitutaki past Rarotonga at the fire-making Immunity Challenge. Out of frustration, Stephannie accepted blame for the defeat and put herself up to be voted out. However, later on, she retracted the offer to the other women, who then used the opportunity to vote J.P. out. Adam and Brad secretly decided to betray J.P. and Nate, sending J.P. home by a vote of 7–2.

At Aitutaki, Cao Boi complained about Becky, Candice, and Sundra being lazy.

• Reward Challenge: Both the tribes will split into three pairs, each of whom will stand on a platform. Each person on the platform will use one arm to hold onto a hook. Every two minutes members from the opposing tribe will load one of those pairs with five-pound bags. The more weight added, the harder it will be to hold onto the hook. The last pair holding their hooks and weight for their tribe wins a reward of fishing gear, spices and some wine.

At the modified weight-holding Reward Challenge, the tribes began trash-talking each other, but Rarotonga's Nate and Adam came in victorious. Rarotonga sent Jonathan back to Exile Island since he had been there before. Back at camp, Cristina's tribemates complained about her being bossy like J. P. Cao Boi, Jessica, and Ozzy went exploring around the bay and accidentally ended up at Rarotonga's camp. Their unexpected visit did not sit well with Rarotonga. Meanwhile, back at Aitutaki, Becky, Candice, and Yul tried to pull Sundra into their alliance with Jonathan.

• Immunity Challenge: The tribes must assemble stepping poles which they will use to transport two tribe members from one platform above water to another platform a short length away. Once both tribe members are across, all eight tribe members will climb up and over the platform, swimming out to a smaller tower. The first tribe to climb the last tower and get all eight tribe members on or above the top deck wins Immunity.

Aitutaki came from behind to win the Immunity Challenge. That afternoon, Rarotonga collectively decided that Cristina would be voted off next. But when Stephannie and Nate gathered water from the well, Stephannie told Nate that she "wanted mashed potatoes and gravy". Nate took this as a sign of weakness, and relayed it to the tribe. Even though Cristina spilled their octopus lunch earlier and continued to irritate others, the vote swung against Stephannie 7–1.

Back at Rarotonga's camp after Tribal Council, Cristina again clashed with her tribemates after being pointed out as being annoying. At Aitutaki, Jonathan argued over bringing the Immunity Idol to the next Reward Challenge. Jonathan believed that unnecessarily taking the Immunity Idol in Reward Challenges and Tribal Councils was tantamount to gloating over the other tribe, but Cao Boi claimed he had 'spiritual reasons' for bringing the idol along. At the Reward Challenge, it was revealed that regardless of who won, both tribes would have to vote a member out.

• Reward Challenge: The warring tribes will battle it out in a sand pit. Each tribe will select three people to be stationed at a post. Two members from the opposing tribe will try to physically remove them from their posts, drag them through the sand and over the finish line. First tribe to get all three opposing tribe members across their finish line wins a feast consisting of lamb shanks, bread and apple cider, to be eaten at Tribal Council.

Aitutaki won the Reward Challenge, and had to go to Tribal Council first. Before Tribal Council, Cao Boi awoke from a strange dream that spawned a strategy he called "Plan Voodoo." Its purpose was to reveal the hidden Immunity Idol by splitting a 3-3 vote between Jonathan and Candice. He chose these two in particular for two reasons: 1) He believed Jonathan had the immunity idol, and 2) Even if he did not, one of the two people from the original tribe of whites would be eliminated. Unfortunately, his ally Yul possessed the idol. Yul did not want to reveal his idol; furthermore, he was fed up with Cao Boi's eccentric behavior, and so he decided to remove the threat. "Plan Voodoo" backfired as Cao Boi was voted out 6–1–1. Aitutaki then enjoyed a feast as they got to listen in on Rarotonga's Tribal Council. Just before Rarotonga's vote, Aitutaki was given the opportunity to "kidnap" one member of Rarotonga who would be ineligible to vote, immune from the vote, given a share of Aitutaki's reward and would be staying at Aitutaki's camp until the next Reward Challenge. Aitutaki selected Nate. Though Cristina made amends with her tribe, her lobbying still failed and she was sent packing in a 4–2 decision.

At Aitutaki, Jessica felt blindsided by the previous Tribal Council where Cao Boi was voted out. She confronted the rest of the tribe with Nate watching after being "kidnapped." Becky, Candice and Yul plotted their preferred order of elimination: Ozzy, Jessica, Sundra, Jonathan.

• Reward Challenge: Each tribe will select three swimmers and two puzzle makers. The swimmers will grab a club, swim to a platform, climb to the top and leap off. While in midair, they will smash a plaster box releasing a key, retrieve the key and swim back to shore. After retrieving six keys, the two puzzle makers will use those keys to unlock a chest filled with puzzle pieces. The first tribe to solve the puzzle wins two items chosen from a catalogue before the challenge. The Aitutaki tribe chose a sack of potatoes and peanut butter, while Rarotonga chose bread and peanut butter.

At the Reward Challenge, Aitutaki were given a chance to make Nate perform at the challenge for their tribe or just sit out. After much deliberation, they chose Nate to sit out in the challenge. Nate got helplessly irked as his team fell apart as Aitutaki easily won in the Reward Challenge. They selected Adam to go to Exile Island for a second time. After the Reward Challenge, Brad's tribemates were upset at him for not performing the swimming portion of the Reward Challenge, claiming that "he's better at puzzles." They considered him as one of their strongest swimmers and the swimming part of the challenge was where they fell behind.

• Immunity Challenge: Each tribe will race to arrange a series of logs, building a staircase to the top of a tower. Once the entire tribe is on the tower, three tribe members will sail down a zip line into the water, retrieve a bag of puzzle pieces and swim back. Once all three are back, they must climb a rope ladder to the top of the tower, where the three remaining tribe members will solve the puzzle. First tribe to solve the puzzle wins Immunity.

Despite losing morale as well as challenges, Rarotonga finally ended their losing streak by winning the immunity challenge. Jessica lobbied hard to have Jonathan voted out, but her efforts failed, and she was the first White American to be eliminated, being voted out 6–1.

At Aitutaki, Candice and Jonathan plotted for the impending merge. At Rarotonga, Brad revealed that he didn't trust his tribemates at all, speaking about his fate if he made it to the merge in a speech which turned his tribe against him. At the Reward Challenge, a "mutiny" offer was presented where anybody could change tribe affiliations. Candice and Jonathan decided to jump back to Rarotonga to rejoin their original tribemates, decimating Aitutaki with four members to Rarotonga's eight.

• Reward Challenge: Two tribe members will squeeze into a barrel together and remain in the barrel while two other tribe members push, pull and roll the barrel through a series of obstacles in order to retrieve four buoys. Next, they must float the barrel through a final water obstacle, where they will collect four flags anchored underwater. Once the flags have been collected, the tribe must paddle back to shore, hang their flags on a flagpole, recover a buried axe and chop a rope in order to hoist their flags. The first tribe to raise their flags wins a trip to a local coffee shop with muffins, danishes and letters from home.

Undeterred, Aitutaki regrouped and made a comeback victory at the reward challenge. Aitutaki quickly selected Candice to go to Exile Island as revenge for mutinying. With Candice at Exile Island, Jonathan tried to form an alliance of the remaining original Rarotonga members, Adam and Parvati.

• Immunity Challenge: The four tribe members have to paddle out in glass-bottom boats in search of three targets on the ocean floor. They must line up the targets with cross hairs on their glasses, drop a cannonball and release two buoys. Once all six buoys have been collected the tribe must paddle back to shore. Reading a clue from one of the buoys, the tribe must use all six buoys to spell out the answer. The first tribe to assemble the mystery word ("bounty") wins Immunity.

At the Immunity Challenge, Rarotonga took a sizeable lead, but Jonathan became infuriated about the painstaking task, even yelling at Jeff Probst to stop narrating the challenge, bringing the patient Aitutaki the victory. Jonathan was an easy target for elimination due to his willingness to leave his old tribe, and Adam became infuriated after learning that Jonathan decided he should go to Exile Island on previous instances. Ultimately, Brad's "every man for himself" speech cost him dearly and he was unanimously voted out. Unexpectedly, Brad was announced as the first member of the Jury despite placing twelfth.

At Rarotonga, Jenny and Parvati were alarmed over Candice and Adam's closeness.

• Reward Challenge: Two tribe members, armed with a compass and a coordinate, will race out to a large sixteen-point compass rose to locate treasure chests buried under the sand. Each chest has the next coordinates painted on the top. When tribe members find a chest, they must race back to their mat. The next two tribe members will take the compass and the new coordinates to retrieve another chest. Once the tribe has all four chests, they will remove seven nautical flags, remembering that each flag represents a letter from the alphabet. The first team to complete the task wins a feast prepared by locals.

The tiny tribe of Aitutaki crushed the over-populated Rarotonga at the Reward Challenge and sent Candice back to Exile Island as continued revenge of her betrayal.

• Immunity Challenge: Each tribe will swim out one at a time to a platform. Each member will dive down and unclip a bundle of island names and swim back to shore. Then the next person goes, until all four tribe members have had a turn. After all of the members are back, they must identify ten islands at an answer table. The first tribe to correctly identify all ten islands wins Immunity.

Aitutaki took their fourth straight win by winning the Immunity Challenge. A sealed bottle with a note inside was given to Rarotonga after they lost the Immunity Challenge. The bottle was to be opened after the vote at Tribal Council. At Tribal Council, Rebecca was seen as the weakest link, and she was voted out 6–1, and the mysterious bottle was subsequently opened. While the tribe initially assumed that the note contained instructions about the impending merger, the tribe was shocked to discover that they were to vote out another tribemate. While Jonathan was the intended next target, the four original members of Rarotonga banded together to vote Jenny out out of fear that she would rejoin her original Puka Puka tribemates, Yul and Becky, after the merger. Showing complete disappointment over the surprise 4-2 vote, an angry Jenny stormed away as her torch was snuffed.

Expecting a challenge, the tribes arrived to receive announcement of the merge. The castaways chose to live on Rarotonga beach and decided to call themselves "Aitutonga." The former Aitutaki merged in the minority, four to Rarotonga's five. Yul and Becky agreed that Jonathan was the best bet to flip. Yul informed Sundra and Ozzy about the hidden Immunity Idol and his plan to bring Jonathan over.

• Immunity Challenge: Each individual must hang onto a pole for as long as they can. When they fall off of the pole, they are out of the challenge. Last person left hanging on their pole wins Immunity. Originally from Survivor: Vanuatu, this challenge would later reappear in Survivor: Tocantins , Survivor: Heroes vs. Villains and Survivor: Worlds Apart

After 2 hours and 15 minutes,[7] Ozzy outlasted Candice to win the first individual Immunity Challenge. Yul decided to show the hidden Immunity Idol to Jonathan to sway him back to his side: if Jonathan did not vote with Yul and Aitutaki, they would vote for Jonathan, and Yul's idol would negate the former Rarotonga members' votes to send Jonathan home. Jonathan requested that Yul vote for Nate in exchange for him flipping to their side, which Yul readily agreed to. Jonathan blindsided his old Rarotonga tribemates and joined the former Aitutaki members in voting out Nate 5–4.

Instead of a Reward Challenge, a Survivor Auction was held.

• Survivor Auction Each contestant will be given $500 and can only bid with $20 increments. Highest bidder gets the item. Survivors may share money, but not with the item. The auction included food and drink items, a bubble bath, health care products, and the power to send another castaway to Exile Island.

Becky, teaming up with Yul, outbid Candice and Adam to win a note that was advertised as "the power to change the game." The note said that she would select somebody to immediately go to Exile Island and therefore forfeit all of their remaining money to her. Upon being told that Candice and Adam had not yet spent any of their money, Becky selected Candice. Just before Candice left for Exile Island while commenting that she'd figure out where the idol was, Yul revealed to everybody that he had the Immunity Idol stunning everyone, even Jeff, for revealing the idol to everyone. After the Survivor Auction, everybody was annoyed at Jonathan due to his arrogant behavior after sweeping a lot of items during the auction while Candice on Exile Island broke down emotionally after Yul's immunity idol reveal.

• Immunity Challenge: The castaways will be quizzed on how well they recollect the events of the last 30 days. First, each tribe member will answer four questions which will have numeric answers. Then, each tribe member will add, subtract or divide the numeric answers to come up with a final number. Then they must untie a corresponding box, searching for a key. That key opens a lock and raises a flag. The first three to raise their flag move on to a final round. In the final round, the remaining contenders will use the key to unlock a timber tunnel, crawl through the tunnel and go over a series of floating pontoons to raise one final flag. First to complete the course wins Immunity.

Adam's worries about being voted out next were quelled after he won the Immunity Challenge. Back at camp, Adam, Candice, and Parvati were taking a "snuggling session" in the shelter while the majority alliance downed a handful of fish that Jonathan caught. But Candice, seeing all the action, started confronting Jonathan about his arrogance and told him that the whole tribe hated him. In a heated Tribal Council, the three continued their crusade against Jonathan, but ultimately failed as Candice was voted out 5–3.

Upon returning from Tribal Council, Jonathan felt uneasy after being called a "rat" and "cancer", but he declared that he would not let Adam and Parvati ruin his gameplan. Meanwhile, assuming that they were doomed, Adam and Parvati asked a favor of Yul, that if he helped them vote Jonathan out before them, they would give him their jury votes in return. Parvati accidentally hit her thumbnail with a machete while cutting open a coconut, which required medical attention, but not removal from the game. At the Reward Challenge, the castaways were surprised by the arrival of their loved ones, who partnered up with the castaways in the challenge.

• Reward Challenge: The survivors, while blindfolded, must scoop water using a bucket and must pass it to their loved ones. The loved ones will now transport the bucket to another bucket which is elevated from the ground. When there is enough water in that bucket, the weight of the water will lower the bucket, raising a flag. The first person to raise their flag wins a picnic that consists of fried chicken, meatloaf, and apple pie and will enjoy it with their loved ones.

An injured Parvati was able to work through her injury and win the Reward Challenge. Her reward was a picnic with her dad and the right to send somebody to Exile Island. Parvati selected Jonathan to make sweet revenge for his deception. Parvati's dad was allowed to select two other castaways to join in the picnic without any input from Parvati. He selected Sundra and her mom and Adam and his dad. While the challenge winners and invitees were enjoying the picnic, Ozzy, Yul, and Becky decided that they would agree to hide food from Parvati, Adam, and Jonathan, but the plan was foiled after Parvati and Adam brought back some leftovers from the picnic.

• Immunity Challenge: The castaways will have to race out into the water and maneuver across a series of obstacles. When a tribe member reaches the end, he or she will retrieve a bundle of sticks and race back. Then each tribe member must repeat the process for a second bundle of sticks. Once a person has both bundles back, they'll untie the sticks and use the rope and the sticks build one long pole. The tribe member will then use the pole to collect two rings. The first person to retrieve both rings wins Immunity.

Ozzy easily won the Immunity Challenge. Despite single-handedly saving the Aitutaki alliance from decimation, Jonathan was betrayed by them and sent to the jury by a vote of 6-1.

Threatened by the presence of the impenetrable Aitutaki alliance, Parvati and Adam tried to figure a way to befriend one of the four to swing the vote.

• Reward Challenge: Under a time pressure of ten minutes, tribe members are going to dive into a mud pit and cover their body with as much mud as they can, then race back and scrape it off into a bucket. They may not carry mud in their arms or in their hands; they can only use their body. Then Jeff Probst will weigh each bucket. The three castaways that own the heaviest buckets win a trip to a local spa.

Ozzy won the mud-carrying reward challenge and sent Adam to Exile Island. Parvati and Yul, for placing second and third in the challenge, also got to partake in the reward. During this reward, Parvati tried to get closer to Ozzy in order to secure his vote, even with Yul around. Meanwhile, Becky and Sundra discussed the possibility of voting challenge dominator Ozzy off. When Yul returned from the reward, Becky informed him of her plan, but Yul believed it would be best to wait at least until after the next Immunity Challenge to determine if this was necessary.

• Immunity Challenge: Tribe members will each carry four bundles of puzzle pieces one at a time across balance beams to a mat. Once all four bundles have been collected, tribe members will use those pieces to create a table maze. Then they'll use the maze to maneuver one cannonball past the decoy holes into each of the two corner pockets. The first person to complete the puzzle and sink the balls into the correct holes wins immunity.

For the second time in a row, Ozzy handily won the Immunity Challenge. Adam, with very little time left, talked to Yul about keeping him on the island over Parvati, which Yul agreed to as long as Adam didn't try to sway the other Aitutaki members. However, Adam and Parvati were later caught trying to gain Ozzy's vote. Prior to Tribal Council, Yul decided to bring Jonathan's hat, which he had left at camp prior to being voted off, to return it to him as requested. While Jonathan was happy at Yul's anonymous good deed, Jeff Probst decided to let everyone know that Yul brought back the hat and editorialize on how this was an example of Yul's politicking and efforts to sway the jury to his side. In the end, the Aitutaki alliance held together, voting off the crafty Parvati over the physical threat Adam by a vote of 4–2.

• Immunity Challenge: The castaways will race around a ropes course to eight different stations, collecting a bag of puzzle pieces at each station. Each time a tribe member gets a bag, he or she will have to come back to his or her table before he or she can go back out on the course. Once a tribe member has all eight bags, he or she will use the puzzle pieces to construct an eight point compass rose puzzle. Once the puzzle is assembled correctly a flag will be raised. First to raise his/her flag wins Immunity.

In the most difficult puzzle challenge ever in Survivor, according to Jeff Probst, Ozzy won Immunity for the third straight time. Back at camp, Adam tried to stir up the vote by trying to get Ozzy and Sundra to vote for Yul, for the sole purpose of making Yul use the Hidden immunity Idol and making the game more interesting after he was gone. However, Adam's plot failed and the Aitutaki alliance voted out Adam 4–1.

In a twist, the Aitutaki Four were told that they would be competing in the final Immunity Challenge and memory walk together, meaning that the final vote would have three people eligible to win.

• Immunity Challenge: The remaining castaways will be standing on a small steel perch situated in the water. Each perch has been individually proportioned to each tribe member's foot size, making the game as fair as possible. Every 15 minutes tribe members will remove a section of the perch, making it smaller and more difficult to stand on. The last piece of the perch will be a section that is less than half the size of a postcard. If a castaway fell off the perch, he would be eliminated from the challenge. The last person left standing wins Immunity.

Ozzy outlasted Sundra to win the final Immunity Challenge. Initially, Yul offered Becky his Hidden Immunity Idol to try to save her, but Becky declined because she felt it wasn't fair to blindside Sundra, as the foursome had gone through so much together. The alliance of four decided to let the third spot in the final Tribal Council be decided in a fair manner, with Ozzy and Sundra voting for Becky and Becky and Yul voting for Sundra; the tie was to be resolved via firemaking challenge, with the first castaway to make a fire advancing to the final Tribal Council. Neither Becky nor Sundra could get her fire started with flint and machete after one hour, and the jury became bored and restless. As an alternative, matches were given to Becky and Sundra, but both had trouble again maintaining a fire long enough to burn the rope. In the end, Sundra ran out of matches after half an hour, whereas Becky finally kept a fire long and high enough to burn the rope to secure her spot in the final three.

At the final Tribal Council, the jury saw Becky as riding Ozzy and Yul's coattails. Despite her attempts to convince the jury that she had played the game with much integrity as possible and had helped Yul devise voting strategies, she received no votes. Between Yul and Ozzy, the jury was split on the importance of Yul's masterminding of the social game versus Ozzy's impressive physical challenge performance, and which contributed more to the Aitutaki alliance's success.
