The 18 new castaways began their adventure. Reward Challenge: Tribes had to race out into the jungle, two members at a time, to retrieve heavy puzzle pieces. They then worked together to assemble a 3D puzzle. The first tribe to solve their puzzle won a pot, machete, and flint. Gata won the challenge. Aysha from Lavo and TK from Tuku were appointed to earn supplies a different way, which was to find four keys scattered across the island; TK earned the supplies for Tuku. At Gata, Andy's aggressive attempts to bond with Jon and Rachel were met with skepticism, leaving him feeling alienated, while Jon worried the age gap between himself and the rest of the tribe made him a target. At Lavo, Rome immediately searched for an advantage, but the time away from his tribemates aroused suspicion, though he was able to find the Beware Advantage clue. At Tuku, Gabe likewise found a Beware Advantage and followed the clues to an idol good for his next three Tribals. He also approached Sue for an alliance, and she in turn bonded with Caroline. Reward/Immunity Challenge: Tribes paddled a boat to shore, collecting three heavy chests along the way. They then pushed their chests across a track and used the puzzle pieces inside to assemble a large Survivor logo puzzle. The first two tribes to finish won immunity plus a large shelter-building kit for first place and a smaller toolkit for second place. Lavo cruised to first place and Tuku placed second. Andy needed medical for heat exhaustion, then had a paranoia-induced meltdown. This made him a quick target, but Jon targeted Anika, wanting to make a bigger move. He relayed this to Sam, who felt threatened by Jon's strategic chops. The women debated if Andy's physical advantage over Jon outweighed his erratic personality. At Tribal Council, the vote went unanimously against Jon, and he became the first person voted out.

At Gata, the tribe made a point of coddling Andy to stop him searching for an idol. Accidentally left alone, Andy found the Beware Advantage but chose to leave it. A worried Sam and Anika found it on their own; Sam waited to dig up the idol box with Sierra and kept the idol good for only one Tribal. Realizing the Advantage was gone, a panicking Andy confided in Sam, who let him think one of the women had found it. Sierra was surprised by Sam's wanting to keep Andy around, but kept silent. At Lavo, Rome's arrogance got on his tribe's nerves, particularly Sol's. Rome found the Beware Advantage and shared with Teeny, who divulged it to Kishan. Rome caught them holding the idol box, but Teeny managed to talk her way out and Rome kept the idol good for a single Tribal. At Tuku, TK aligned with Kyle and Tiyana, but earned Sue's ire for talking nonstop while she was trying to nap on the beach. Reward/Immunity Challenge: Tribes had to work together to bring a heavy bag of rice from an ocean platform to a locked gate on the beach. One tribe member had to maneuver the key through a blind maze, then cut open the bag of rice to retrieve a ball. Three tribe members then worked together to get the ball across a snake-shaped track. The first two tribes to land their ball in the target won immunity plus a large fishing kit for first place and a smaller fishing kit for second place. Gata and Lavo won the challenge, though Rachel was caught pocketing some of the rice. TK's disgust with Tuku's attitude regarding losing struck a nerve with Tiyana and Sue, and Gabe recruited Sue and Caroline to blindside TK. Despite her anger Tiyana was conflicted about blindsiding Kyle, but at Tribal Council, she joined Caroline, Gabe, and Sue in voting out TK, while Gabe wasted his idol on himself.

Gabe attempted to turn Kyle against Tiyana, leaving him uneasy; he told the girls that Gabe planned to take Sue and Caroline to the end as goats, but Sue, furious at Kyle for voting against her, ignored him. At Gata, Sam and Anika clashed over shelter improvements, and Andy loaned his Shot in the Dark to Sierra to build trust and a majority. At Lavo, Rome caught fish but, feeling unappreciated, ate most of them himself, to the tribe's chagrin. Anika, Kyle, and Rome went on a journey where they all divulged tribe dynamics. Each had to take a 1-in-3 chance for an advantage with two scrolls saying "lose your vote"; Kyle and Anika each lost one vote and chose not to risk further, but Rome won a steal-a-vote. Reward/Immunity Challenge: One tribe member climbed two high obstacles in the ocean and dove down to release a key from a buoy before crossing a balance beam. The two remaining pairs ran the same course, and each retrieved one of the two remaining buoys from the balance beam. The keys unlocked puzzle pieces to a large vertical seahorse puzzle. The first two tribes to complete the puzzle won immunity plus a large comfort kit and tarp for first place and smaller kit for second place. Gata and Tuku won the challenge. Teeny and Kishan found themselves stuck between the pairings of Genevieve-Rome and Aysha-Sol. Aysha's refusal to vote for anyone other than Genevieve convinced Teeny and Kishan to turn against her. At Tribal Council, Rome played his idol to negate one vote, and Aysha was voted out.

With Sol on the bottom of Lavo, Rome considered using his steal-a-vote to cancel out Sol's Shot in the Dark. He later followed Sol around camp to prevent him from searching for an idol, much to the latter's chagrin. At Gata, Sierra was caught between the alliances of Anika-Rachel and Andy-Sam, although Andy's clumsiness continued to annoy her. At Tuku, Sue found an idol but the resulting mess of red paint made Tiyana suspicious. Reward/Immunity Challenge: Tribemates worked together to push a heavy cube down a path, and one person climbed the cube to retrieve bags One person then assembled a hollow square and tossed the bags through onto a barrel. Two tribemates then assembled a vertical flame-shaped puzzle. The first two tribes to finish won immunity plus chickens for first place and six eggs for second place. Despite a huge early lead, Lavo completely failed the puzzle and lost the challenge. Andy, Caroline, and Teeny were chosen for a journey, where they had to agree within a time limit on one person sacrificing their vote to earn a shared advantage, otherwise all three would lose their vote. Teeny did so, and the three earned an amulet idol, which could only be used when all three were part of the same tribe. At Lavo, Rome gave Sol an "ultimatum": give up his Shot in the Dark or Rome would use his steal-a-vote against Sol and vote him out; Sol angrily refused to be threatened. However, Genevieve learned that Kishan had thrown her name out as a decoy to Rome, hoping to vote him out instead, and convinced Rome and Sol to form a truce. At Tribal Council, Rome stole Kishan's vote, and Genevieve, Rome, and Sol joined forces to blindside Kishan, much to Teeny's shock.

Rome expressed his distrust of Teeny, knowing she'd kept quiet about Kishan’s attempt to blindside him. Reward Challenge: Randomly divided into two cross-tribal teams of seven, teammates worked together to free a ladder and take it across an obstacle course. One person climbed the ladder held by their teammates and freed bags containing balls that one player at a time had to shoot into five targets. The first team to finish won an afternoon at the Survivor social hour with hot dogs and soda, allowing them to form new bonds and gain information about the other tribes. Caroline, Kyle, Rachel, Sam, Sue, Teeny, and Tiyana won the challenge. While on reward, Tiyana sowed suspicion about Gabe amongst the other tribes, while Sam denied he and Sierra were in an alliance. At Lavo, Rome worked to turn Sol and Genevieve against Teeny, not expecting them to discuss his conflicting stories. Genevieve realized Rome's scheming made him too chaotic to trust, and when Teeny returned she admitted to wanting Rome gone. At Gata, a hungry Andy, Anika, and Sierra freed the chickens and made a futile attempt at fishing. At Tuku, Sue told Gabe that Tiyana threw him under the bus. Wanting to keep the peace, Caroline urged Tiyana to confess, but Gabe knew she hadn't told him the whole truth and vowed to see her voted off. Immunity Challenge: One tribe member used a long-handled saw to cut a high rope and free sandbags and coconuts to place in a net. They then dragged the heavy sandbag and coconut laden net across a course picking up more coconuts along the way. Upon reaching their final mat, they emptied the net and tossed the sandbags at a puzzle to knock it down. Once the puzzle was completely off the table, tribes raced to put it back together. The first two tribes to finish won immunity. Beforehand, Gata proposed trading their chickens to Jeff for 24 eggs, who negotiated them down to 18. Tuku cruised to first place and Lavo barely came in second, regaining their flint for the first time in days. Despite his frustration with Andy's poor performance during challenges, Sam targeted Anika; Sierra was conflicted, knowing that keeping Andy benefited Sam more than her. Meanwhile, Anika and Rachel targeted Andy (despite Anika losing her vote on the last journey), but he anticipated their attempt to trick him into voting for Sam. At Tribal Council, all except Rachel blindsided a stunned Anika, and Sam chose to let his immunity idol expire rather than reveal it to Andy.

On Day 11, the three tribes began the individual stage of the game at Tuku's beach and castaways were tasked with finding an advantage in the upcoming challenge, which Genevieve found attached to a buoy. Rome goaded Kyle into revealing which tribemates he considered threats, then told them skewed versions of what Kyle had said. A skeptical Tiyana spoke with Sol, who urged everyone to fact-check, and Kyle emphatically targeted Rome once it circled back to him, with most castaways following suit. Reward/Immunity Challenge: Divided into two teams of six via schoolyard pick, castaways ran a course and two would maneuver a ball through a table maze. The first team to land their ball in the center target won a food reward as well as the chance to compete for individual immunity. For immunity, castaways had to balance on a beam while keeping a ball on a curved bow; if a player or ball dropped, they were out. The last one standing won immunity. Genevieve's advantage allowed her to skip the immunity challenge and be part of the reward. Kyle, Rachel, Sam, Sierra, Sue, and Teeny won reward; Kyle also won individual immunity. At reward, Sue suggested targeting Andy as a backup in case Rome played an idol, which Sam reluctantly agreed to. With his initial target of Kyle foiled, Rome planted seeds to get Sol out by portraying him as a bully. Though he felt confident Sol would go, the others knew Rome was untrustworthy. Sam mentioned the backup plan to Sol, who agreed to throw his vote at Andy. At Tribal Council, Jeff humored Rome by letting him take his seat and explain why the amulet was a bad advantage. Andy, Caroline, and Teeny used their amulets on Teeny, and most of the tribe voted out a dumbfounded Rome. Afterwards, the remaining 12 castaways were officially merged.

Sol informed a rattled Andy that Sam had discussed using him as the decoy vote, and Andy aligned with Genevieve, mulling turning against Gata. Reward/Immunity Challenge: Divided into two teams of six via random draw, castaways held a long pole over their heads to balance a ball on a small disc while balancing themselves on a beam. At regular intervals, castaways moved further down the beam to narrower sections. If they fell off or their ball dropped, they were eliminated. The last person left standing overall won a food reward as well as group immunity, but would not vote at Tribal Council. The last person left standing from the losing group won individual immunity. The entire Tuku tribe plus Rachel made up one group, while the Lavo three and the rest of Gata made up the other group. Kyle won immunity but was unable to outlast Genevieve and Teeny from the other group. While enjoying reward, Andy and Sol surmised an advantage would be hidden; Sol found it and discovered he could give someone from the other group either a vote blocker or safety without power. Meanwhile, Rachel pled her case to the old Tuku members, some of whom were ready to turn on each other (Tiyana and Gabe especially). At Tribal Council, Rachel played the safety without power that Sol had anonymously gifted her; Sol feigned shock to keep from being exposed. Following some last-minute strategizing, a devastated Tiyana was voted out.
682	8	"He's All That"	0.7/8	November 6, 2024 (2024-11-06)	4.64
Sol privately told Rachel he gave her the safety without power, and they aligned. The next morning, everyone was tasked with finding bamboo tubes containing money for the upcoming auction; Andy wound up with zero tubes. An item Rachel bought included a note, and Sam lost his vote due to having the most money left at the end of the auction. Rachel's note was a clue to an idol hidden in the shelter's tarp; she was able to retrieve it without being caught. Gata and Lavo agreed to align against Tuku, but Caroline tried to convince Lavo to work with her alliance against Gata instead, believing the Gata members to be more dangerous. Immunity Challenge: Castaways held on to a bar attached to an overhead bucket containing 25% of their pre-game body weight. If their bucket dropped, they were out. The last man and woman left standing each won immunity. Sue won immunity for the women, and Kyle won his third straight necklace for the men. Lavo sided with Tuku but were unsure on who to vote out; Sol tried to save Rachel and break up the stronger pair of Sam and Sierra. Andy sided with the majority, feeling like the Gata members had been taking him for granted. At Tribal Council, Rachel played her Shot in the Dark, which was unsuccessful, and the vote was tied between Sam and Sierra. Since Sam already lost his vote, Sierra could vote in the tiebreaker but only for Sam; ultimately, Sierra was sent to the jury by everyone else that could vote.
