Tribal Council
This was Tangaroa's first time going to Tribal Council

The vote resulted in a tie between Brandon and Emmy - 2-2-1-1-1-1. They had to answer a 2 part question. The 1st to do so correctly remained in the game. Brandon answered correctly first, eliminating Emmy from play.

Immunity Challenge
For this challenge a member from each tribe was paired with a member of the opposing tribe. They competed in a game of Rock, Paper, Scissors. The team who lost the most won immunity. Losing was 0 points, Tieing was 1 point, and Winning was 2 points. The team with the least amount of points won immunity. With a score of 7-5, Haumia won immunity for the third time in a row.

Since the teams were uneven (8-6 Haumia) 2 members of Haumia had to sit out. Nick and Rikku sat out - this was chosen by random.org.

Haumia won immunity, 3 large baskets of fruit and vegetables, 2 pillows, and the ability to send one member of Tangaroa to Exile Island.

Since Ryan received the most points for his tribe he was given the power to send someone to Exile Island.

Exile Island
After the 1st episode, castways were sent to Exile Island in hopes to receive the hidden immunity idol. They were given a list of possible idols. They chose one and if they chose correctly than they received the idol. If they chose incorrectly they did not. The item on the list that was the hidden immunity idol was chosen randomly on random.org.

At Exile Island, castaways were still allowed to vote in Tribal Councils and received Immunity from being sent home.
