The three tribes were tasked to designate a tribe leader. Cobus, Paul, and Rocco were chosen for Ta'alo, Sa'ula, and Laumei respectively. The leaders had to pick their tribe's weakest player (Jacques, Seipei, and Laetitia were respectively chosen). However, the three leaders were informed they were being exiled to the Island of Secrets for the first night of the game immediately, while their tribe's weakest players were assigned to crucial roles for the reward challenge. Once at the Island of Secrets, the three leaders were given tribal dilemmas: a clue to a hidden immunity idol at their camps, or flint. While Rocco was the only one to choose flint for his tribe, he dug through Paul's jeans to have a look at the hidden immunity idol clue when he was alone.

Jacques found the hidden immunity idol from under Cobus' nose and hid it with his secret advantage. Meanwhile Ta'alo's patience with Tania was wearing thin, as Felix and Tania clashed during the rain for space in the shelter. Rocco tried to lead the Laumei men to consider voting out Mmaba at the first opportunity, while Mike and Geoffrey initially targeted Laetitia for her age. However, once they noticed that Rocco was defending Laetitia, Mike rallied Geoffrey, Mmaba, and Rose-Lee against Rocco.
