New contestants begin the game, dividing into tribes and facing their first challenges, based on local custom in Gabon, which involves the eldest people in the tribe making decisions.

Returning players are pitted against newcomers on the exotic Caramoan Islands. The returning players include Cochran, Brandon Hantz, Phillip Sheppard and Dawn Meehan.

Two castaways are sent packing, leaving three to plead their case at the final tribal council; the winner is revealed.

After the first elimination, Dawn is targeted; Phillip gives undercover identities to his alliance.

As Bikal and Gota merge, reunited castaways form a plan; the contestants must eat beetle larvae and brains.

Malcolm and Corinne's special bond leads to a discovery that livens up the game; unrest ensues after alliances shift.
