Episode Recap
Toka came out swinging. A dominant immunity win — hauling a 500-pound whale through heavy rain — topped off with the season's first reward challenge, a blindfolded pairs obstacle course that earned the tribe a tarp, pillows, mats, and a hammock. Savu lost both events and faced its first Tribal Council as a tribe.
The rest of the episode had everything. Brady Booker partially severed his thumb with a machete (treated by the medical team and cleared to stay) while Kristin Flickinger fell from a cargo net and hurt her foot (treated with a medicinal herb she researched before the game, and stayed in). Jelly Loblack found a hidden immunity idol on Toka, and Tribal Council went sideways when Rob Antonson tried to write his own name down — production stopped him — in a wild bid to save Eric Macksoud. The women's alliance (Alexis, Sharonda, Linnea) flipped the vote, and Ana Sani was blindsided out, 6-4. After Exile Island, Lewis Kelly joined Toka.
