Overview

  • Host Jeff Probst executed a full tribe swap in the episode titled "Go Kick Rocks, Bro," dissolving the original Kele lineup.
  • All 14 remaining players drew new buffs to form Yellow/Hina (Rizo, Jawan, Nate, Savanah, Matt, Jason, Sophi) and Blue/Kele (Steven, Christina, MC, Sophie, Shannon, Sage, Alex).
  • In the post-swap challenge, the reconstituted Kele won immunity, leaving Hina to face Tribal Council.
  • The swap reset living conditions as the new Hina inherited a stocked camp while the new Kele started over on the bare former Kele beach.
  • The shake-up followed Jake Latimer’s precautionary medical evacuation for a confirmed dry sea krait bite; he recovered and returned home, affecting tribe numbers heading into the swap.
