After receiving tree mail, the two tribes meet host Jeff Probst at what they thought would be their next Reward Challenge. However, they soon discover that their lives are about to be turned upside down. Jeff instructs them to each stand on one of 13 wooden discs placed randomly in front of them. He then begins the Survivor Switch. As jaws drop and tears swell in the eyes of the Rotu tribe members, they realize what is taking place. Underneath each disk is a colored buff, blue representing Rotu, and yellow representing Maraamu. As each person steps off their disc and turns it over, the color of their buff reveals to which tribe the castaway would now belong. When it is all over, Sean, Rob and Vecepia find themselves the new members of Rotu, while Neleh, Paschal and Kathy switch over to Maraamu. The new faces don't help Maraamu stop its losing streak, and they vote out Sarah.
