Episode Overview

Immunity Challenge - Flying Your Flag

• On Jeff's go, the tribes would paddle past the wooden buoys to the first station. One tribe member would solve the rope maze to release the flag. The tribes would then paddle to the next station where a different tribe member would dive down ten feet to release the second flag. The tribes would then paddle to the last station where one more tribe member would try to solve the Thai puzzle by sliding the pieces around until after a large piece that has a knife on it can slide through the slot. He/she would take the knife out of the sheath and cut the rope that releases the tribe's last flag. First tribe to paddle back to the starting platform with all of their flags wins immunity. Chuay Gahn took an early lead when Sook Jai's panicking affected their rowing. Chuay Gahn kept their lead after Jan solved the rope maze while Penny had the rope hit dead ends. Chuay Gahn kept their huge lead over Sook Jai after Brian quickly got the second flag underwater. It seemed all but over for Sook Jai when Chuay Gahn arrived at the final station while Sook Jai were already at the second station. But Sook Jai caught a miraculous break when Ghandia of Chuay Gahn struggled to solve the sliding puzzle. Sook Jai closed the gap and Jed took on the puzzle. Chuay Gahn's lead vanished when Jed solved the puzzle first and released the last flag giving Sook Jai their first lead. A come from behind win gave Sook Jai immunity.
