Author's Notes

 * This is the first time all season where there is no reward challenge.
 * The immunity challenge for this episode was originally meant to be used as the Redemption Island Duel between Byron and Kimberly. However, for storyline purposes, it was moved to this episode.
 * This episode will cover the days between 21 and 24. However, no footage from Day 23 will be shown, meaning there will be a skip from Day 22 straight to Day 24. The reason for this is time constraints and lack of material. The original show also does this occasionally.
