Immunity Challenge – “Dishwalla”
- There was an unaired reward challenge on Day 17 that was seen in press photos.

Ratings
- The seventh episode received 8.1 million viewers and 1.7 in the Adults 18-49 demo. This is Survivor’s highest amount of viewers since Episode 7 of Ghost Island, most likely a result of the lack of competition from live sports and other programming amid the covid-19 pandemic.
Episode Title
- Boston Rob said the episode title “We’re in the Majors” during a confessional when he was talking about his fire token search on the Edge of Extinction.

Are we absolutely sure Mana wasn’t orange?
Mana is red.
I think you mean Yul had the most confessionals this episode, Wendell only had 2.
You’re right, I was looking in the wrong column on my chart!
Well done, thank you!
