Finally, everyone who passes is loaded onto the back of a pickup truck and taken to an unspecified location. They are blindfolded and ambushed, and upon looking down, discover that all their shoes have been stolen.

Tragically, this, among a head wound and several knife cuts to his hands and fingers, was not just a slew of AmusingInjuries-- Michael's casual attitude toward his injuries and constant carelessness finally resulted in ''serious'' injuries when he fell in his tribe's camp fire and got his hands badly burnt, resulting in the first-ever evacuation in the show's history and an everlasting reminder to fans of the show that this is not a joke to play the game and you can get hurt.
