The 18 new castaways began their adventure. Reward Challenge: Tribes had to race out into the jungle, two members at a time, to retrieve heavy puzzle pieces. They then worked together to assemble a 3D puzzle. The first tribe to solve their puzzle won a pot, machete, and flint. Gata won the challenge. Aysha from Lavo and TK from Tuku were appointed to earn supplies a different way, which was to find four keys scattered across the island; TK earned the supplies for Tuku. At Gata, Andy tried to bond with Jon and Rachel but later felt on the bottom of the tribe. At Lavo, Rome immediately searched for an advantage, but the time away from his tribemates aroused suspicion, though he was able to find the Beware Advantage. At Tuku, Gabe likewise found a Beware Advantage and ultimately followed the clues to an idol good for his next three Tribals. Reward/Immunity Challenge: Tribes paddled a boat to shore, collecting three heavy chests along the way. They then pushed their chests across a track and used the puzzle pieces inside to assemble a large Survivor logo puzzle. The first two tribes to finish won immunity plus a large shelter-building kit for first place and a smaller toolkit for second place. Lavo cruised to first place and Tuku placed second. Andy needed medical for heat exhaustion, then had a paranoia-induced meltdown. This made him a quick target, but Jon targeted Anika, wanting to make a bigger move. He relayed this to Sam, who felt threatened by Jon's strategic chops. At Tribal Council, the vote went unanimously against Jon, and he became the first person voted out.

At Gata, Andy found the Beware Advantage but chose to leave it; Sam and Anika retrieved it, the former sharing with Sierra and choosing to stick with the idol good for only one Tribal, as did Rome on Lavo. Rome shared with Teeny, who divulged it to Kishan. At Tuku, TK aligned with Kyle and Tiyana, but earned Sue's ire for talking nonstop while she was trying to nap on the beach. Reward/Immunity Challenge: Tribes had to work together to bring a heavy bag of rice from an ocean platform to a locked gate on the beach. One tribe member had to maneuver the key through a blind maze, then cut open the bag of rice to retrieve a ball. Three tribe members then worked together to get the ball across a snake-shaped track. The first two tribes to land their ball in the target won immunity plus a large fishing kit for first place and a smaller fishing kit for second place. Gata and Lavo won the challenge. TK's comments about Tuku's attitude regarding losing struck a nerve with Tiyana and Sue, and Gabe recruited Sue and Caroline to blindside TK. Tiyana was conflicted, but at Tribal Council, she joined Caroline, Gabe, and Sue in voting out TK, while Gabe wasted his idol on himself.

Sue was set against Kyle for voting against her and further distrusted him when he told her that Gabe planned to take her to the end as a goat. At Gata, Sam and Anika clashed over shelter improvements, and Andy loaned his Shot in the Dark to Sierra to build trust and a majority. At Lavo, Rome caught some fish but ate most of them for himself, to the tribe's chagrin. Anika, Kyle, and Rome went on a journey where they all divulged tribe dynamics. Each had to take a 1-in-3 chance for an advantage with two scrolls saying "lose your vote"; Kyle and Anika each lost one vote and chose not to risk further, but Rome won a steal-a-vote. Reward/Immunity Challenge: One tribe member climbed two high obstacles in the ocean and dove down to release a key from a buoy before crossing a balance beam. The two remaining pairs ran the same course, and each retrieved one of the two remaining buoys from the balance beam. The keys unlocked puzzle pieces to a large vertical seahorse puzzle. The first two tribes to complete the puzzle won immunity plus a large comfort kit and tarp for first place and smaller kit for second place. Gata and Tuku won the challenge. Teeny and Kishan found themselves in the middle between the pairs of Genevieve-Rome and Aysha-Sol, but Aysha's insistence that Rome be separated from his ally drew Teeny and Kishan's distrust. At Tribal Council, Rome played his idol to negate one vote, and Aysha was voted out.

With Sol on the bottom of Lavo, Rome considered using his steal-a-vote against him so that he couldn't play his Shot in the Dark. He later followed Sol around camp to prevent him from searching for an idol, much to the latter's chagrin. At Gata, Sierra was in the middle between the alliances of Anika-Rachel and Andy-Sam. At Tuku, Sue found an idol but the resulting mess of red paint made Tiyana suspicious. Reward/Immunity Challenge: Tribemates worked together to push a heavy cube down a path, and one person climbed the cube to retrieve bags One person then assembled a hollow square and tossed the bags through onto a barrel. Two tribemates then assembled a vertical flame-shaped puzzle. The first two tribes to finish won immunity plus chickens for first place and six eggs for second place. Lavo faltered in the puzzle and lost the challenge. Andy, Caroline, and Teeny were chosen for the journey, where they had to agree within a time limit on one person sacrificing their vote to earn a shared advantage. Teeny did so, and the three earned an amulet idol. At Lavo, Rome gave Sol an "ultimatum" to give him his Shot in the Dark or else he would use his steal-a-vote against Sol and vote him out; an irate Sol refused. However, Genevieve learned that Kishan had thrown her name out as a decoy to Rome, and convinced Rome and Sol to form a truce. At Tribal Council, Rome stole Kishan's vote, and Genevieve, Rome, and Sol joined forces to blindside Kishan.
