Episode Recap
The swap scrambled everything. The game split into three tribes: brand-new Dina (Kilby, Sharonda, Lewis, Eric, Linnea, Cristian), Toka (Mike, Carter, Brady, Thien An, Kristin, Maggie), and a five-person Savu (Jenna, Ori, Devin, Alexis, Jelly). In the combined reward/immunity challenge, Dina finished first and Toka second — both earned immunity. Savu finished last and went to Tribal Council. Episode 4 reward points are pending a Presidential ruling (O-004) and are not included in any total on this page.
On Savu, the Helicopter Alliance — Devin, Jelly, and Ori — reunited and held together, with Alexis voting alongside them. Jenna Doore was voted out 4-1; Alexis took Jenna's lone vote and survived it. No idols or advantages were found or played, and no Shot in the Dark was played: Carter's and Jelly's idols and Devin's and Maggie's extra votes all stay in place. Around the other camps, Kristin is the lone original Savu in a fractured Toka's swing seat, Thien An and Carter are a ride-or-die pair, Mike is scrambling, and Kilby and Eric bonded fast on Dina under the watch of Sharonda and Linnea. Sixteen castaways remain.
