There are two rings and battles will be held on each side at the same time. Whoever causes a ball to break first will win a point, first tribe with three points will win a helicopter ride to a beautiful location and enjoy a huge picnic lunch.

- Crystal wants to blindside Ace, Kenny is on board.
- At the Kota picnic, a stranger presents letters from home to everyone in the tribe. Everyone is in tears, but Bob is breaking my heart. He's breaking down as he walks away with his letters. His so distraught he can't even get through the first few lines of the letter.
- At exile, Sugar is back to the Sugar Shack, eating fruit and kicking back. She says she's not sticking with Ace because she's naive, she's with him because he's a strong player.
- The tribes meet for the immunity challenge. Sugar returns to Fang.

- They are all three kicking major butt. Sugar is the first to fall. It's Ace vs Marcus for individual immunity. Ace falls next.
- Marcus wins individual immunity.
- The twist is revealed, Marcus must assign immunity to one member of the other tribe! That's so not fair!

- Kenny goes back and tells Crystal that Sugar will vote Ace out with them.
- Ace asks Sugar for the idol again because he can feel a double-cross coming. Sugar tells him that they only have two votes and that Ace has everyone wrapped around his finger. She tells him that she has to think about it.
- Fang is at tribal council.
- Jeff wants to know from Sugar about camp life. Sugar tells everyone about Crystal spilling rice and that Crystal wouldn't eat because of her accident. Matty says that no one confronted her, Crystal pipes up and says that it was an accident. Ace says that Crystal made a mistake but that everyone is not mad at her for it. Crystal says that she's not delusional and is getting snotty, believing they should have saved her some even if she refused it. Sugar believes this is why they are not winning, they can't work for a team. Time to vote, Sugar has kept her individual immunity.
- Crystal votes out Ace.
- Matty votes out Crystal.
- No one plays the hidden immunity idol.

- At Kota, Dan is worried that he's leaving. Marcus tells him that he believes everyone is voting for Susie.
- Randy wants Bob out of the final four and wants to be in. Randy believes Bob is loyal. Marcus thinks Dan and Susie are both vulnerable tonight. Corrine tells Susie that she won't write her name down and believes that it will be Dan. Susie tells Corrine that she will remain loyal to the tribe as long as they keep her in the loop. Susie admits that she was going to vote out Corrine. (Corrine now hates her for saying that and wants her gone.)
- Corrine goes back and tells Randy about what Susie said, Randy wants her out now instead of Dan. Marcus says that Dan could have the immunity and Susie should go.
- It's Kota's turn at tribal council. Finally.
- Marcus says that the tribe needs to surround itself with the most powerful players. Susie says she's not the weakest, upper-strength wise she believes she's stronger than Corrine. Corrine disagrees, but remains respectful of Susie.
- Randy thinks that he doesn't hold things in, but that can be good or bad.
- Dan says that he's a worry-wart and it's inhibited him from being himself.
- Charlie says that trust is huge because they want to go to the merge with all the numbers.
- Marcus will keep the immunity necklace.
- Susie votes for Dan.
- Dan votes for Susie.
- Marcus votes for Susie.
- Dan has been voted off of Survivor.
- On the next episode of Survivor we will see Randy believing he is king of Gabon and that everyone on both tribes should know it. Oh, and he's holding a glass of beer, so Kota must have won yet another challenge.
