|-|Immunity=Challenge: The Domino EffectIn the first round, the castaways would race across a series of balance beams carrying a bag of puzzle blocks. The first two castaways to bring all three of their bags would go to the final round in which each player must stack all of their pieces like a line of domino tiles while avoiding ropes that would topple the tiles that were already stacked. Once all of the blocks were properly stacked, the castaway would start a chain reaction which would release a flag. The first castaway to raise their flag would win.Additional Stipulation: For purchasing the Challenge Advantage during the auction, Corinne Kaplan is allowed to forgo the first part of the challenge, skipping directly to the finals.Winner: </tabber>

* Through an email conversation with Mario Lanza, the author of "The Funny 115" and host of the Survivor Historians podcast, Randy revealed that his blindside was heavily edited to make it seem that he was surprised to find out that the idol Bob gave him was fake. Randy explained that he knew Bob's idol was fake, and his stunned reaction was taken from the previous week's episode.http://funny115.com/v2/6.htm
