The rest of the tribe will then cross the bridge and go down via a slide.

They will then pour the water from their bucket into a larger bucket. Once the larger bucket is full, it will lower a gate.

Divided into two teams of five, each castaway will stand on a narrow balance beam while holding up a boom pole over their head with a ball balancing on a disc at the end of the pole. At regular intervals, the castaways will step forward to a narrower part of the beam. If they fall off the beam or their ball drops, they are out of the challenge. The last person standing for each group wins immunity. In addition, the overall winner of the challenge wins reward and will exempt their whole tribe from the vote.

Eve 5
The format: Eve 6
Before the challenge, the ten castaways paired themselves up into five teams. One at a time, each team member would traverse through a twisted net crawl. They will then dig up a bundle of planks. The first four pairs to retrieve their planks and plant a flag at their mat would proceed to the next stage. At the next stage, each team will carry their planks and race up a cargo net to a platform. Once there, they will use their planks to cross a rope bridge. The first two pairs to cross the rope bridge with their planks will proceed to the final stage. In the final stage, the pairs disbanded and each player competed individually. They would brace themselves with their arms between two walls while standing barefoot on two footholds. Every 15 minutes, the castaways would move down to smaller footholds. When the castaways reached the fourth set of footholds, they would try to remain on them as long as they could. The last castaway to remain on their pegs would win. The last castaway still standing on the footholds wins.

Take the Reins

They will toss the monkey's paw, hooking it in a stand before pulling it to release a ladder. They will then race up the ladder to their puzzle station. The first person to finish building their vertical jigsaw puzzle wins.
Reward: Spaghetti, wine, and cake to be enjoyed at the Survivor Sanctuary.
Won by Carson
- Immunity
Each castaway must drop a ball into a metal chute. The ball will travel down a spiraling metal track and exits out of one of two points, with a turnstile gate in the middle of the track causing the balls to alternate between exits. Castaways must catch the ball, then drop it back into the chute at the top. At designated intervals, an additional ball is added to the track until seven balls are simultaneously in play. If a castaway's ball falls to the ground at any time, they are eliminated from the challenge. The last person standing wins.
