The third episode of season 23 had the first dual of the season between Semhar from the Savaii tribe and Christine, who was voted out in .

After a brief into to Upolu, we head over to Redemption Island where after some poetry from Semhar, the two ladies participate in a duel that involves balancing tikis on a pole that they have to add sections to over time. Long story short Christine wins and Semhar is sent home.

Back at Savaii there’s a name game going on as Brandon reveals his connection with Uncle Russell from season 1 and they start calling Mark “Papa Bear.”

In the immunity challenge the tribes have to race across a floating bridge to retrieve flag pieces which are then assembled like a puzzle, but the catch is they’re tied up with a bungee cord the other tribal members have to unspool and then rewind to pull them back. It wasn’t even a contest as Upolu gets all their banners up before Savaii has one thanks to a few falls from Dawn and Ozzy.

At Tribal Council the choice is between Cochran and Papa Bear, who outs the alliance of five, which of course works out and off goes Papa Bear.
