Challenges[]

Challenge: You Shook Me
Each castaway will have to traverse over a high-step obstacle to stack blocks on a wobbly shelf to spell out "RETURN OF THE OUTCASTS". If the blocks fall off of the shelf, the castaway must start over. The first castaway to stack their blocks correctly and return to the start wins.
Reward: Chicken schnitzel meal, a video call back home, and an advantage at the next Immunity Challenge.
Additional Stipulation: The winner may choose to keep their full reward, or forfeit their meal and advantage and share the video call with two tribemates.
Winner: Phil Dickson (Tejan Pillay used Reward Send Token)

Challenge: Keep on Your Toes
Standing within a wooden frame, castaways must keep a block on top of their head while they stand on their toes. If a castaway drops their block or steps out of the frame, they will be eliminated from the challenge. The last castaway left standing wins.
Additional Stipulation: For holding the Challenge Advantage, Phil and Tejan started the challenge 5 minutes after the rest of the tribe.
Winner: Outcome revealed next episode.
