When one member from the losing Tribe is invited to the winning Tribe's Reward Challenge treat of croissants and sweet things, it's a long-overdue reunion for one cute pair.

In another epic Immunity Challenge, two Castaways push themselves to their limits, leading to potentially dire consequences for their Tribes. Then, one Castaway breaks ranks and warns a friend.

7. Sun, Feb 13

It's Tribe Swap time! As the game heats up, the time has come for the castaways to truly play their own game, even if it means turning on a loved one.

8. Mon, Feb 14

The previous night's Tribal Council plays on the minds of quite a few castaways. In true Tribe Swap fashion, not everything is rosy, as strong personalities struggle to navigate a new environment.

9. Tue, Feb 15

The game is well and truly underway, with one castaway deciding the time is right to start playing alliances off one another.

One castaway moves heaven and Earth to try to get their Tribe to love them once more. At Tribal Council, an epic playbook blindside is executed to the letter.

12. Tue, Feb 22

It's no surprise that it's always the quiet ones you need to watch for, and this episode someone's game really begins to heat up.

13. Sun, Feb 27

Another testing Immunity Challenge, with the last two standing being the most unexpected. With secrets exposed and alliances rocked, the vote at Tribal Council is a total surprise for one Castaway.

14. Mon, Feb 28

In a puzzle-making Immunity Challenge, a challenge beast is exposed. Will this place a huge target on their back and get them eliminated from the game?

15. Sun, March 06

After winning everyone's favourite finger-licking good reward, one of the Castaways snaffles an Idol clue for themselves, but has the lucky find been spotted by their alliance?

16. Mon, March 07

It's all fun and games until an Idol comes between a couple of Castaways. After one of the toughest Immunity Challenges yet, could new alliances lead to a voting tug of war at Tribal Council?

Backlash from the most devious move in program history hits camp. Desperate to win the Immunity Challenge, one castaway is looking strong, but will they be able to hold out?

19. Sun, March 20

As castaways return to camp from Purgatory, alliances are seemingly reformed, A tribemate selflessly gives up their reward, and the game is flipped once more as Tribal Council sees an advantage played.

20. Mon, March 21

Fallout from last night's Tribal Council divides the remaining tribemates. From playing in the middle to striking from the top, one Castaway proves they were merely biding their time to make big moves.

21. Sun, March 27

Reeling after the latest Tribal Council, the remaining castaways take stock of what's occurred and where it leaves them in the game. A Reward Challenge side deal leaves some tribemates on the outer.

22. Mon, March 28

A puzzle Immunity Challenge separates the muscles from the strategic, but will the result upset an alliance? At Tribal Council, nothing goes to plan as unwelcome surprises leave everyone on edge.

23. Sun, April 03

The end is nigh as five Castaways are whittled down to four. At the Immunity Challenge, everyone digs deep but one tribemate pulls out all the stops, giving them a great shot at being Sole Survivor.

24. Mon, April 04, 2022 (finale)

After 47 days in the Queensland wilderness, it all comes down to this. An epic challenge weeds out the weak from the strong, and one castaway is crowned Sole Survivor, walking away with $500,000.
