The 18 new castaways arrived in Fiji by boat to begin their Survivor journey.
Hina won the reward challenge. Uli sent Rizo to complete the challenge, while Kele sent Alex.
Rizo completed the challenge first, winning supplies for Uli.
Hina and Uli won the challenge. At Kele, the majority alliance of Alex, Jake, Jeremiah, and Sophi targeted outsiders Annie and Nicole, considering them the weakest members of the tribe physically, Nicole in particular. Annie attempted to form an alliance with Sophi, saying that she wanted to target Alex and Jake in the future. Sophi notified the majority alliance of Annie's proposal, and they considered voting Annie off over Nicole because of this. However, at Tribal Council, they ultimately chose to vote off Nicole. | ||||||
