Immunity Challenge — "Tribal Knowledge"
Immunity Challenge · Day 12
Tribal Knowledge
A trivia-based challenge testing castaways' knowledge of Fijian culture, local geography, and facts about their fellow tribemates gathered during the first two weeks. Each tribe answers questions as a unit — a correct answer earns a point, an incorrect answer earns nothing. The first two tribes to reach seven points win immunity. The episode title "Brainiacs" is a nod to this format.
1st PlaceTribe Vanua — Immunity
2nd PlaceTribe Yasawa — Immunity

Trivia
- Trevor Holt becomes the fifth castaway sent to Extinction Island. Extinction Island now holds five residents — its largest population yet.
- The episode title "Brainiacs" references the trivia-based immunity challenge, which several castaways described as the most mentally demanding challenge so far.
- Tribe Kadavu is now down to just three members — Lorraine Chu, Nadine Kowalski, and Tammy Ostrowski — the smallest tribe in the game.
- Tribe Vanua has now won three consecutive immunity challenges after losing their first three, a dramatic reversal of fortunes.
- Tribe Yasawa extends their unbeaten immunity record to 5–0, remaining the only tribe to have never attended Tribal Council.
- With Trevor gone, every remaining Kadavu member is female — making Kadavu the first all-women tribe of the season.
