Reward Challenge
'''For this reward challenge, each tribe must stack blocks one on top of another, until a 10ft goal is met. Then, they must take coconuts and, from 30 yards away, try to knock them all over. Once the stack has been knocked over, the tribe must run to get a key, race back, unlock a latch, which releases a bag of puzzle pieces. The tribes must then grab it, and bring it to the start, and solve the puzzle. First tribe to solve the puzzle wins ice cream. '''

Winner: Bieque

Immunity Challenge
'''For this immunity challenge, a muddy field covers the course. Each tribe must send one person at a time to a designated spot to dig for a small cube. Once they retrieve the cube, they must bring it back to the start. Each six-sided cube has a letter on every side. Once all nine letters are brought back, they all must work on forming a nine letter phrase to complete the puzzle, and win the challenge. First tribe to finish wins immunity. (Spelling T-O-P-E-L-E-V-E-N) '''

Winner: Bieque

The New Tribes
'Note: When the tribes arrived at the reward challenge, Jeff surprised the remaining castaways by once again demanding them with a great grin to drop their buffs. Now, they immediately thought merge. No, it was another tribe switch. With Yaureibo and Bieque mixing up again, this was definitely going to shake things up. As each castaway revealed a rock in their hand, the ones holding a red rock joined Yaureibo and the ones holding yellow joined Bieque.'

Yaureibo
The new Yaureibo tribe returned to their new camp, having lost the reward challenge. Cameron, who was now the only original Yaureibo member left on Yaureibo, was worried about his standing in the game. He approached Andrew once more, making sure he was safe. Andrew honestly assured him that while they are still a tribe, Cameron, who is a natural born leader, is safe. Devan, who also felt vulnerable, wanted to rely on his physical asetts. He wanted to show his new teammates, mostly comprised of former Cacimar members, that they still needed him.

Although they lost the reward, they were far more concerned with getting acquainted. Paul believed the Cacimar four were going to stick together, and the other three agreed. Andrew, however, wanted to keep Cameron around as long as possible, so he made sure the other members of the old Cacimar were okay with it.

Bieque
At the new Bieque tribe, the members enjoyed a day with vast amounts of ice cream and all the toppings you could dream of. They all were very happy with the new tribe, except for Jessie, the only member of the old Cacimar not on the new Yaureibo tribe. She felt very alone, and she knew Mackenzie and Cynthia would either approach her, or the other three for an alliance.

"bieque"

- I'm alone over here, and I am not sure was my options are, other than winning. I guess we will have to wait and see, but it makes me nervous.

Mackenzie and Cynthia got together to discuss their options. While they weren't sure what they should do, they questioned eachother secretly, as they both didn't trust one another, but felt forced together.

"bieque"

- Me and Cynthia definitely are not on the same page. I don't know if I can trust her, and she definitely can't trust me. But she doesn't have to know that.

Yaureibo
The tribe awoke with much on their mind. Individually, the original Cacimar members felt secure as they held a majority, but Devan and Cameron both felt on the outs. Andrew assured Cameron that they weren't an alliance of four.

Bieque
Bieque wasn't a happy tribe, as they were a mix of all three past tribes. It was discomforting for each and every member, because they weren't sure what their options were. The three former Yaureibo members were confiding in each other to form an alliance until the merge, in which they would hopefully be able to figure it our from their. Cassie and Malik, who were already in an alliance with Cameron, had to pull in Jessie. They feared that she would not hear them out.

"bieque"

- Jessie has a swing vote, and she'll need to stick with us, I think. I am in such a shaken state of mind right now I can't think without getting a headache. Ughhh, this is remarkably difficult.

Yaureibo
Losing an immunity challenge meant almost certain disaster for Devan or Cameron. They were both on the outs. However, Andrew talked to Paul about the possibility of using Devan and Cameron to their advantage. They both knew that Jason and Colleen were tight with Bieque, and to confirm it, they confronted Devan. Devan told them about how they formed an alliance with Mackenzie to eliminate Connor. Paul agreed with Andrew that they were a dangerous duo and needed to be ousted. They weren't sure which of the two to eliminate, however.

Bieque
Bieque won immunity, and enjoyed a day away from Jeff and his sanctuary.
