Oh, there’s been dumber. (The Australian Outback survivors running out of rice, the Maraamu tribe voting out Hunter, the Morgan tribe at the Panamanian village, etc.)

People always feel this way at the beginning of every season. We don’t really know the contestants yet, so it’s hard to root for anyone or connect to the show at this point. But things will get more interesting once we get to know the contestants better.

Episode 4 title: "This Camp Is Cursed"

The Fang tribe gets up close and personal with nature when an elephant visits their camp. GC goes missing...right before a challenge. After a grueling fifteen days with sparse supplies of food, both tribes engage in a close race that results in a sweet taste of victory for one. After winning reward, one tribe makes a surprising decision on who to send to Exile.

Overwhelming hunger and homesickness puts one Castaway’s entire alliance in jeopardy. One of the strongest bonds in the game finds itself on shaky ground after a frustrating performance in an intense Immunity Challenge. Snooping pays off for a group of Castaways when they find the hidden immunity idol in their tribemate’s belongings.

Reward Challenge: The contestants launch pieces of fruit at a net, while the opposing tribe tries to block them.

Immunity Challenge: The contestants throw giant wicker balls down a hill, while the opposing tribe tries to block the balls with shields. The blockers are blindfolded.
