Pulling Your Own Weight

**Pulling Your Own Weight** is the fifth episode of *Survivor: Borneo*.

## Story

### Day 13

After Camilla's elimination at Tribal Council, Pagong was in positive spirits, having all voted unanimously as an unit. Despite losing the past Immunity challenge, the tribe was feeling optimistic.

Later, Tagi sees host Jeff Probst nailing the instructions for their next Reward Challenge, a target-shooting competition to be held the next day. They are given the challenge materials to practice. After Jeff leaves, Tagi immediately goes to target practice, using coconuts.

With regards to the Reward Challenge, each tribe is required to select three people to compete in a blowgun, slingshot and spear target rounds. Pagong's representatives are Viktor, Erika, and Keinan while Tagi's representatives are Lois, Julienne, and Iskra for the first, second, and third rounds, respectively.

### Day 14

At the Reward Challenge, Lois wins the first round for Tagi, but Pagong rebounds when Erika wins the second round. But in the final round, Iskra's hit is two inches short from Keinan's closer hit, making Pagong the victors of the challenge, winning them fresh fruit and a surprise additional prize of three live chickens.

### Day 15

Before the Immunity Challenge, Tree Mail instructs both tribes to produce one rower. Michael is chosen by Tagi, while Pagong chooses Erika.

At the Immunity Challenge, Erika was able to lead the team to victory with her rowing, thus, sending Tagi back to Tribal Council.

Back at the Pagong camp, Gabrielle's work ethic was impressing her fellow tribemates, improving her relationships with the other castaways. However, despite the tribe's high spirits, Viktor and Anne got into a fight with one another over a conversation about camp life, with the pair disputing about responsibilities. Unconnected to this fight, Stephan made the decision to leave *The Four*, reducing it to a three-person alliance.

At the Tagi tribe, Iskra and Nikolas strengthened their connections together. However, Nikolas and Michael later had a minor disagreement with one another, leading Iskra and Michael to form a Final Two alliance. Given Nikolas' blow-up and changing relationships on the tribe, targets were divided.

Despite the numerous targets heading into Tribal Council, the tribe was able to come to some consensus. At Tribal Council, Nikolas was the sole vote against Lois, with the rest of the tribe voting him out in a 5-1 vote.

Only three members from both tribe would compete for this challenge, one person per round. The first tribe to win two rounds wins.

* For the first round, representatives will use blowguns. In two minutes, shooters must knock down as many fruits as they can. Then, the knocked fruits will be weighed. The tribe with the heavier load wins the first round.
* For the second round, representatives will use a slingshot. Players must knock down hanging fruits from a wall. Then, the knocked fruits will be weighed. The owner of the heavier load wins this round for their tribe.
* For the final round, the contestants will use spears. Both tribe representatives will be given three shots. The shot closest to the bull's eye wins.

**Reward:** All the fruits knocked down during the challenge, and three live chickens.
**Winner:** Pagong
**Challenge:** *Shipwrecked*
Both tribes must select one rower before they convene for the challenge. The rest of the tribe will then be sent to the ocean, wearing life vests.

The first tribe to rescue all their tribemates and return to shore wins immunity.
