Previously on Australian Survivor...

Chapter two of Australia's greatest grudge match starts right now.

..12 Champions...

There's no room for failure.

..12 Contenders...

It's time for one of us underdogs to take it out.

..here to outplay...

I'm willing to do what needs to be done to win.

..outwit...

You need to make your move at the right moment.

..outlast.

Champions, we're coming for you.

Go!

The first challenge...

..saw the Champions reap the reward...

Champions win!

..while the Contenders were left out in the cold.

Baden is the weakest physical player in this game.

But they weren't giving up.

- Come on! - Let's go, guys!

And suddenly...

..the Champions were the ones in the eye of the storm.

It is the end of the road for someone.

People's champion Luke gathered the social players.

I'm happy to work together.

But seven champion athletes formed what seem like an unbeatable team...

Someone's gotta go.

..setting their sights on actress Pia.

But Olympian Nova turned politician with her own agenda.

Susie's not going. Pia's not going.

I'm gonna change the vote.

And, at tribal council...

First person voted out of Australian Survivor,

Anastasia.

..Nova proved she's a force to be reckoned with.

- The tribe has spoken. - They have.

23 are left.

Who will be going home tonight?

Once everything's wet, that's it.

I'm excited to be on a tribe full of champions.

Alright.

Don't keep pulling if it won't go, 'cause it'll break.

There's a lot of personalities,

and people that I probably looked up to at some stage, you know.

They're really old.

So, breathe in.

Breathe out.

Juicy Janine is actually a really nice lady.

She's surprised me on how social she is.

Upward dog.

She's extremely strong.

We did a yoga class with her.

You could do more of a breath and a groan, Luke.

I'm shit at it, to be honest.

It's all about traction.

But there's a certain things that I'm pretty good at.

Like creepin'!

Last time, I made a spy shack,

and I've been thinking,

it'd be rude for me not to build another one.

Alright, so, this is what I'm gonna do.

I decided to have a bit of a geez,

and I was looking at the well, and I looked around,

I looked, and there's just, like, a spot

that it was... it felt like it was made for me.

No-one will know. Everyone's gonna be here.

I'm legit just gonna sit there and hold a little leaf like that.

There is nothing that I am not willing to do to win this game.

No-one's safe.

I'm the king of the jungle, and I've come back to get my title.

Spy shack 2.0, baby!

Right here.

Oh...

Yeah!

- Good on ya. - Oh, my God!

Well done.

So, things are pretty good at the moment.

Good job.

We're all sitting there, enjoying our beans,

enjoying the light of the flame on the fire.

When you get them, it's like, "Mmm. These are so good."

Oh, it's so amazing to have our first hot meal.

I mean, how many people can say they've woken up on a beach in Fiji,

brushed their teeth with some charcoal,

and just put on their one pair of clothes that they have?

I must have touched your foot, and you went... bang, and kicked me.

- I didn't mean to! - And then you looked at me...

Oh!

So, we went to the final of the local Brazilian league...

They're nuts over there, the fans, aren't they?

Mate...

- Are you excited for today's... challenge? - Yeah, I am.

It's terrifying, but it's so exciting.

It is, yeah.

Waking up this morning,

and I'm feeling a bit worried, to be honest.

Survivor is, by definition, a social game.

And right now,

I feel like I don't yet have, like, a best friend in this game,

like, a one person who I'd go to above everyone else.

I think my Survivor social game could use a bit of work.

But, hopefully, settling into the game slowly.

I'm Baden, a 23-year-old student from Adelaide,

and I am now halfway through my PhD.

I'm studying the top of the atmosphere, called the ionosphere.

Growing up, I was always a bit of a social outsider,

particularly at school.

I'm definitely not super fit.

Not exactly socially mainstream, by any means.

But I'm here to prove to myself

that I can do things that I wouldn't have thought possible.

I want to try one at some point, so...

- OK. - If you're OK with it.

- Just go... like, bang... - Yep.

..that way, and then we turn it over, and the same.

- OK. - And that gives us the knot.

I'm not just playing for me.

I am also playing for all people who feel introverted or shy.

- OK. - I know what you mean.

The people who have felt like they don't fit.

You could probably do that in one shot, hey?

Oh, nah.

I think that I can win,

because my mental strength and intelligence

will definitely keep me above the rest.

Close enough. Andy?

- Champion. - Days of practice, mate.

Baden is clearly a smart guy.

And I'm sure he has a lot of skills in life.

Unfortunately, none of them

appear to have any relevance to the game of Survivor.

One of the things I have been surprised about on this tribe was,

I thought there'd be, like, a few people

who were, like, absolute super fan, like all over it.

The thing is, there's a lot of seasons of Survivor,

if you include the American ones and all the other ones.

Like, that's a lot of stuff to watch.

Someone who would be a super fan and has watched all of them

would've had to have been watching over like a decade or more.

Yeah.

The last two days, I have not been able to talk strategy at all.

And for someone who's waited 20 years to be out here,

that has been excruciating.

Have you had a chat to... to John at all?

- No, not yet. - Me neither.

I haven't had a one-on-one with Johnno yet.

I haven't either.

Is an ultra fan of this game, I can't wait to play it.

But my strategy in this tribe is to be the wolf in sheep's clothing.

My game plan is to get to know my tribemates,

to build working relationships with each of them.

- It's pretty good! - I haven't had this much fun

since I was, like, building cubbies with my brothers.

When the timing is optimal to make a strike...

I'm all itchy.

..I will be the most memorable and dominant player they have ever seen.

- I feel so skanky. - I feel so gross.

I've got so much dirt all over me.

Waking up this morning was cool, because I'd survived tribal council.

I felt proud of myself that I used all my acting skills to help me stay.

Thanks.

This guy here.

Gotta earn your nickname.

Yeah, got a new nickname. Palmy. Look at him.

Yeah. I'll catch you.

Look at Palmy go! Look at him!

At the moment,

there's seven of us in our sporting alliance.

We've got myself, Nova, Steve, ET, Abbey...

At least I know that the seven are strong.

..Simon, and Ross.

We're the majority.

We're all elite athletes.

And we're pretty confident.

My strength is in the water,

and my strength is to last,

to hang in there and not give up.

I'm a swimmer.

I guess I best known for someone

with a swimming hat and goggles and Vaseline all over me.

I was the youngest and fastest to swim the English Channel,

at the age of 15.

I went and did the Cuba to America, Mexico to Cuba, then Jamaica to Cuba.

Those long, tough, hard swims,

your cossie, you know, ripping into your skin,

vomiting because the water was choppy,

fractured wrists from pulling the water.

You need to know what it feels like to go through pain, to work hard.

And that's why we created this super seven.

Because we've all had to have those aspects in our elite careers

to get to the top.

You can see the senior citizen alliance.

I can live off coconuts, I reckon.

- I'm gonna try. - Yeah. The coconut diet.

They're just banding together.

Oh.

Bad coconut.

Ugh.

And that's where the majority is.

We really just need to, like...

Just, really, what it is, brother, is stay in the game.

As alliances go, pretty much myself, David, Janine and Pia,

I'd like to think, are pretty tight.

We're all sitting very much on the bottom.

Ugh! Oh!

But, if I know this game, it can turn.

You can be on the bottom one day, and you're on the top the next.

- Like, they're playing. - Oh, man.

But they're just gonna do a different style of game.

Yeah, they're doing a different style of game.

So, after talking to Luke, I kind of realised

we needed to pull at least two more people over,

and I'm really keen to play with Abbey and Ross.

If we can get those two across,

then we're gonna be in a really, really good position.

I'll try to keep Ross close.

I genuinely think I can pull Abs over to our side.

After all, I am a supermodel,

it is my job to work on the ladies.

There's models, and then there's supermodels.

I'm trying to show people what the 'super' is in the model.

Fashion, in general, is a pretty cutthroat business.

If they don't like you as a person,

then there's no way you're getting the job.

You have two work some flirting into it.

And I think flirting is a great way to make personal connections.

And I think, in Survivor, being able

to make instant connections and make relationships feel real

is gonna be a real advantage.

People like to be around things that are attractive,

and you gotta use all the weapons you have at your disposal.

And if that's walking around without a shirt on, then, yeah, why not?

I suppose we go for it.

I mean, I'll do anything to win.

I'm gonna get that money.

You've gotta work that flirting magic.

And I feel like I'm pulling off a pretty good job right now.

There was only, like, one point in time where I, like...

I think you were, like, in my ear, like...

I could feel your breathing.

Nah, nah, nah, it wasn't bad at all.

Haven't brushed our teeth in three days.

"This is great."

"What was the hardest thing about Survivor?"

- "Dave's breath." - Dave's breath.

We've gotta talk some shop one of these days, Rosco.

So, Luke and I really need to put a dent in this sporting alliance.

And for me, that's gonna be

knocking out these Australian treasures as quick as I can.

Unfortunately not.

Ross definitely needs to come over to the dark side.

He is gonna be so happy there.

He's gonna be like a pig in mud.

Have you got someone that's, like... that you're, like...

..do you reckon that you're super close with, or something?

Everyone.

- Oh, really? - Yeah.

No-one's been panicking, have they?

- Nah, not yet. - Nah, not yet.

- Not yet. - Not yet.

- But you know what will happen? - Yeah?

Luke and I, hey, we're the dream team.

I don't think anyone's panicking yet.

We're gonna cause some serious damage.

Come on in, guys.

Hm.

Contenders, getting your first look at the new Champions tribe.

Anastasia voted out at the first tribal council.

Casey, why do you think they sent her home?

I don't know, 'cause she looked really fit to me.

John, you guys took home flint the last challenge.

Did you put it to good use?

Yeah, mate, we had the fire going. Cooked up a few good meals.

Mate, it's all rosy over our side. Don't worry about that.

Did you manage to keep it going through the weather?

Bloody oath.

David, you know,

it looked like you guys had it in the bag last challenge,

but the Contenders came along and just snatched victory from you.

Yeah, we couldn't put it away in the fourth quarter,

but that's what makes you a champion,

is being able to come back from a loss

and just crush 'em on the next round.

Harry, do you think the Champions might be out for blood this time?

Uh, that might be the case,

but I don't think it's gonna happen, to be honest.

We went without sleep, we went without food

and we still let 'em have it.

So, as my good friend Biggie Smalls once said,

if you don't know, now you know.

And...

..if they don't know by now, then there's no hope in them.

Alright, are you guys ready to get to today's reward challenge?

Yes.

For today's challenge, two members from each tribe will face off,

pushing against each other on a giant turnstile.

First pair to cross the finish line scores a point for their tribe.

First tribe to three wins reward.

- Want to know what you're playing for? - Yes.

Winning tribe will get...

Oh, yeah. Whoo!

..a tarp, a fishing kit,

and material to build your own raft will be waiting for you back at camp.

- Yes. - Worth playing for?

Contenders, you have an extra player,

you're gonna need to sit someone out today.

Cannot be the same person in back-to-back challenges.

Someone make a call.

Who's it gonna be?

- Me. - Laura?

OK, Laura, you're on the bench.

Everyone else, a minute to strategise.

Let's get to it.

Alright, here we go. First round is boy versus boys.

- Contenders, who are you putting up? - Matt and I.

Matt and Shaun.

- Whatever you say, I'm in, OK? - Yeah.

- Champions? - Me and you?

We have Matt and Shaun for the Contenders...

You've got this.

..taking on ET and Luke for the Champions.

Survivors, ready?

Get ready, Luke, and get down low, mate.

Go. Ooh, both tribes really digging in.

The strain on Shaun's face.

No-one wants to concede this one.

Come on, push.

Stay down!

This is just brute force.

- Let's go. Let's go. - Let's go. Come on.

And it looks like the Contenders are gonna do it! They have some momentum!

They're digging in deep! Losing it. They're losing it.

Champions on the run, and that's it!

Contenders win the first point.

Matt!

Contenders lead 1-zip.

This shit is fun, right?

It's fun though, every time.

Whew!

Alright, next round we have Steve and Ross for the Champions...

- Get up, big fella. - Come on, Champions.

..taking on John and Andy for the Contenders.

Outside, mate.

Oh, mother...

Survivors, ready?

Gold miner versus gold medallist.

John really digging in.

You're locked in! You're locked in! You've got it!

Steven and Ross not gonna concede.

One, two, three.

Both tribes really dug in at this stage.

One, two, three.

Go.

Wait. We'll get our breath back.

Wait. Just wait.

Steven giving instructions to Ross.

Call me in, Shauno!

Hold. Hold. They're pushing. Hold.

- It's all good? You got this, yeah? - Go, go, go, go, go! Push! Push!

- Push! - One, two, three. Go!

Go! Push!

Oh, and just like that...

..Champions look like they have some momentum.

They were waiting.

They've woken up the beast.

John is angry!

One, two, three. Go.

Steven looking quite cool over there.

- Ready? - Both feet, go. One, two, three.

Both feet over, that's it!

Go, go, go!

- Go, go. Go, go, go, go, go! - Go, go, go!

- Hey, what are you doing? - Go, go, go!

- What are you doing? - They had both feet over.

Sorry, boys.

Rosco. Awesome, mate, awesome.

Next round...

..we have ET and Janine for the Champions...

You got this, youse two.

..taking on Baden and Hannah for the Contenders.

Survivors, ready?

Go!

Keep going, we got it.

Champions are using the strategy to overpower them right out of the gate.

- Hold it! Hold it! - Ah!

- They have some momentum. - Hold it!

Contenders are really struggling to hold on here.

Keep going, we've got it.

- Keep going. - And over the line!

- Move! Both, both, both! - That's it! Champions take the point.

Whoo!

Champions lead 2-1.

My legs were straight, it was just I couldn't get them in the dirt.

Yeah, it's alright.

Next round, we have Casey and Sarah for the Contenders

taking on Pia and Susie for the Champions.

Contenders would really like to win this one.

- Survivors, ready? - Go! Go, Pia!

Go!

Sarah really digging deep.

Susie looking a little unsteady over there.

Contenders have a slight lead, but... there's not much in it.

- We're at a standstill. - Just work to get your next foot.

Work to get your next foot.

Nah, it's alright. We don't need it. We don't need it.

Contenders waiting for the Champions to wear themselves out.

Stay low. Stay low.

Two, three.

- Go! They're going now! - Go, go, go, go!

- Go, Pia! - No. No!

That's everything they have! Everything they have!

You're not moving! They gave everything.

- Let's take it now! - We're not tired.

Nah, we're good.

Susie is no stranger to endurance.

- We could be here all day. - That's it, Sarah!

You look so strong! You can do this!

What about me?! What about me, Daisy?!

You look...

- That's it! - Casey wants some love.

I mean you too, Casey!

Ooh, Contenders digging in!

Getting momentum.

Yeah! All day! All day!

Yeah!

Lots of repositioning from the Champions.

And that's an opportunity for the Contenders. They're on the move!

Really have some momentum now. They are six feet from the finish line.

- Told you we got this! - Yeah!

Champions know they're in trouble.

Push. Push.

Yes! Yes! Go!

Sudden burst of energy from the Champions.

They gain a couple of inches back.

Oh, they're going for their final attack.

And they've got the Champions on the run.

That's it! Contenders take the next point!

Take a pew. You guys were awesome.

Next round...

- Yes? - Yep.

..we have Janine and Abbey for the Champions.

They win this round, they win the reward.

Get low, Janine. Get low.

For the Contenders, we have Sam and Daisy.

Chest in. Chest in.

Survivors, ready?

Go!

- Champions are digging in early. - One, two, three. Push.

Trying to overcome the Contenders.

But they are not giving up.

- Hey? - Just let them tire out.

This isn't the technique we need though. Chest in.

We've gotta go chest in.

Champions have a slight upper hand at this stage.

Oh, Daisy falls over, but she gets back up.

Ah! Go, Daisy, go! Daisy, go!

- Come on, Daisy! Keep pushing! - Go. Go.

Nah, don't give it to them. Nah.

Three, two, one. Push!

Contenders are slowly losing ground here.

Keep low.

OK, they're resting. Go.

The Champions are closing in on that line. They have some momentum.

They're slipping, guys.

Daisy. Breathe. Breathe.

Go, go, go! Just a little bit.

Janine trying to feel for across the line for the win.

It's very close.

Take your other foot. We're there.

And that's it! Champions win reward!

Oh, mate, you're incredible.

Well done. Good girl. So proud of you.

Heads up. Keep our heads up.

Amazing!

Champions, congratulations. Reward is yours, come grab it.

All the building material for the raft

will be waiting for you back at camp.

Alright, head on out.

Start working on it.

No, no, you don't get the table.

- Nice try. - No tables?

Head on out, Champions. Start working on that raft.

Yeah, look, we won the challenge, which was super-duper

because now I get to go out with ET, king of the jungle.

Fishing with ET, baby! Yeah!

Winning that reward meant so much to all of us.

- Whoo. - Especially this one.

Well done, folks.

And I think ET, his little eyes just went bong!

when he saw what we won.

Check that out.

It was the fishing apparatus.

But the big one for me was the tarp.

You know, that's a game-changer.

No-one cared about the raft.

Are we gonna... Will we build a raft?

- I dunno. - Yeah.

- Yeah? - Not tonight, though.

From my experience, I feel like with rewards,

there's always a clue so I'm gonna keep my eyes peeled.

But everyone was quite busy so I decided to just maybe wait.

You know?

Doesn't mean I can't go there later.

See those fish there, moving in the shallows there?

- See the fish, see that? - Where, where, where?

Right there. See that movement in the water.

- Oh, just there? - Yeah, right there.

- That's fish. - Oh, wow.

We've won fishing gear. How amazing!

Just exactly what we were after.

Oh...

There we go.

Lot of people over, probably, the age of 30

may know me from my football days,

but all the youngsters out there

probably know me for the Escape Fishing With ET show.

That's been a big thrill, travel around Australia and the Pacific

catching some big fish.

I've got a good understanding of where fish move

and where the best places are to catch them.

Have you always been into fishing? Or is that...?

Yeah, yeah. Just as a kid.

I was real keen for a go.

I'll be bringing something home pretty special.

I think everyone's gonna be super happy.

No pressure for ET.

- Oh, I know. - I mean, seriously.

- Yeah, he is the... - King.

- Yeah, king of fish. - Kingfish.

If I don't catch the fish, what's the use of ET?

Oh!

A lot of hard work's gotta go into these fishing outings

and we'll find the fish.

What if us girls built it?

Couldn't be hard.

Hey...

I dunno. I think you have to...

Looking through the raft was definitely on my mind.

If all of a sudden someone's got in and looked at it

and got something...

..that'll kill me.

I have to wait till it's dark, search the raft.

That's the plan.

Anything there?

We're hungry.

Hey!

It doesn't have to be me.

Doing a fishing show, for me,

is I don't care who on the boat catches the fish,

that's good for the show.

A big one. Yay!

Is it big? They got a goldfish.

Ah, we could have gone out. Very underwhelming.

I think it was that big.

So funny.

Coming back to the camp

with the Champions having just won another reward,

you know, it's a disappointing feeling.

Everybody's a bit down,

I think some people are a bit disappointed with their performance.

Yeah, bad luck, guys.

- Good effort. - Our time will come.

You know, everybody was looking forward to winning that fishing kit.

I'm so hanging for when we get the challenges

we can actually...

Dexterity, agility, speed, balance, puzzles!

Can we have something a bit more than just pushing or, like...

Being the one that sat out the reward challenge is pretty brutal,

I'm not gonna lie.

I don't like to be overlooked or walked over.

Definitely not walked over.

You'd be a fool to underestimate me.

I'm Laura. I'm 4'9" tall.

My partner, Kev, he's a 6'3"-ish,

very tall blond Irishman with a big red beard.

What I lack in height, I definitely make up for in bite.

People often refer to me as bossy 'cause I am quite a confident person.

I'm not afraid to say what I think.

Guys, we've got these targets we need to meet.

You need to stick to your priorities.

Being my size, I do always have a point to prove to people.

And even I think that comes back

to then having a point to prove to myself.

It's been this inner drive within me for as long as I can remember

to just prove people wrong.

That I can be louder, that I can be more determined,

that I can achieve something that someone's told me that I can't do.

So if someone tells me that I can't achieve something...

..hell hath no fury.

- Um, Laura, you need more rope? - Amazing!

I've spent my entire life being underestimated and overlooked.

The fact that I was the one that sat out

means that my tribe think I'm one of the weaker ones. So... I...

..I think it's time to try and pull out some serious moves

and start moving those chess pieces around

and really start to play my game.

Yeah, like, how are you sitting with, like, have you had any chats

with, like, Daisy and Shaun or anything?

Oh, look, I just spoke to Daisy really briefly then,

but I think I could probably get her onside.

Especially, it's more the people who potentially feel that they are...

..you know, they know that they are slightly weaker.

- It's you, me... And Hannah. - Hannah.

- ..on the chopping block. - I reckon.

Yeah, it's like almost the Not Wanting To Go alliance.

Yep! I love the Not Wanting To Go alliance!

So my gameplay at the moment, I am definitely trying to feel people out

and see who I feel I can work with.

And was that just wandering out there?

- No, that was further back. - Right.

So...

So not gonna lie, out of all the people,

I really just don't trust Laura.

She seems way too smart for my liking.

She's having a lot of chats with everyone.

His conversations he's having, at least with me, are not consistent.

She's got that hat that just screams mob boss

and so at this point, she's the biggest threat to my game.

And I'm sorry, I'm just gonna vote you out.

My name's Harry. I'm from Perth.

I'm 30 years old and I'm an ice-cream maker.

I love ice-cream. Pure sweetness.

But I'm basically the exact opposite,

I'm a hustler and I am a huge fan of this game.

I'm happy to backstab, I'm happy to lie, I'm happy to frame people.

I might have a little bit of a dopey voice, dopey smile.

In reality, I'm actually gonna be the guy that's running this game.

All while secretly having this...

..nice-guy persona.

I figured out that my idol could be in the raft.

I've decided to wait for everybody to finally hit the sack

before I go searching.

Ehh...

I run around at night while everyone's sleeping.

That's when Survivor's played!

And I've started just untying the rope of the raft

and having a bit of a play, trying to see if there's holes in that.

I was just playing with it...

And I was like, what the hell is that there, boy?

Argh! I've got a clue!

Here it is, baby.

This opens the game up, you know?

I'm gonna just blindside the shit out of somebody!

Yalla-yalla-yalla-yalla!

The good thing is my clue says the idol's buried underground.

So it's not in a tree, it's not easy to be seen.

Um, so, I've got a bit of time now to go out there and go get it.

It gives me so much power in this game.

I'm the champion of Survivor, boy!

Ehh...

Come on in, guys.

You stuck?

There's gonna be plenty of that today.

- So, Andy... - Jonathan.

..Champions have won all the rewards so far.

They have!

Is it starting to look a little bare at camp?

Our camp's looking pretty good, I've gotta say.

We've got a lot of palm frond action going on, on our shelter,

and I reckon we were pleasantly surprised.

ET, were you happy about winning that fishing kit yesterday?

It put a lot of excitement in the camp

and we got out there and, uh, caught a fish, which was good.

- Yoo! - So, we had fish on the table.

But, uh, it was a, uh... yeah, a really cool thing to win.

Janine, it's great winning all the rewards,

but it doesn't keep you out of tribal council.

Nah. Nah, this is the big one.

They're nice to have, but this is the one we have to have.

- John? - Yeah, mate.

What would you say to that?

Mate, they've got their work cut out, eh?

We're a staunch unit. We're not goin' nowhere.

OK, you guys ready to get to today's immunity challenge?

- Yeah. - First things first.

Ohh!

Should have just let you come.

Once again, immunity is back up for grabs.

For today's challenge...

..one by one, you'll slide down into a mud pit.

Four of you will then race over two walls...

..before pulling them down to clear a path.

From there, the whole tribe will drag

a heavy box of puzzle pieces to the end.

You'll then use the pieces inside to solve a giant puzzle.

The first tribe that gets it right wins immunity, safe from the vote.

The losing tribe, at tribal council,

someone's gonna be the second person voted out of this game.

Contenders, you've got an extra player.

You're gonna need to sit someone out today.

It cannot be the same person in back-to-back challenges. Who's it gonna be?

I'm happy to sit out, guys, if you want me to.

Yeah, yeah. I'll sit out this one.

- Hannah, you're on the bench. - Yeah.

Everyone else, a minute to strategise,

then we're gonna get to it.

Alright, here we go!

For immunity.

Survivors ready?

Go!

That is a big drop!

Fast out of the gate.

One at a time.

Gotta wait for the person to get to the deck before you can go.

Go, go, go, go!

Oh! A hard hit for Shaun!

We are neck and neck at this stage!

Nice pin-drop from Luke and Andy.

Oh! A hard hit for Abbey.

Go, Abs!

- Come on! - Go Sam!

- Go, go, go, go! - Gotta run, gotta run, gotta run!

- Nice drop from Sam. - Up! Up!

Neck and neck. Nothin' in it at this stage.

Go, Nova! Go, Nova! Dig deep!

Go, Janine, get up, get up, get up, come on!

Go!

Nice, Susie, girl! Come on!

- Go, Susie! Come on! Run, run! - Come on!

- Susie, no! - Susie swimming through the mud.

- Get up, Susie! - Laura gets there first.

Baden trying to correct.

And we're down to the last pair.

And he's used to that.

To the board, to the board, to the board!

Alright, go! On to the wall!

ET, Simon, David and Luke for the Champions.

Oh!

Four people need to get over that wall before you can pull it down.

Go, go!

For the Contenders, we have John, Andy, Matt and Shaun on the wall.

The Contenders have two over.

Champions are over. They can start pulling on the wall.

Go, boys!

- Come on! - Yes!

Champions have the first wall.

Contenders have theirs. You can move on to the next!

Tribes making quick work of this.

Use the last step on the side!

Great work!

Contenders... struggling to get Matt over.

Champions have a lead. They have both walls down.

Need to get back to your box and start pulling.

Contenders have their wall down.

Three, two, one! Pull!

This box is unbelievably heavy.

Three, two, one...

400 kilograms, to be exact.

Three, two, one...

Champions starting to pull that box.

Three, two, one, pull!

Not only are you trying to lift this box,

but the puzzle pieces inside.

Three, two, one, pull!

You need to pull the box all the way to the end.

It's gonna take everyone giving it everything they've got.

We are neck and neck.

You gotta lift out and up!

Out and up!

Three, two, one...

Both tribes struggling to get the box out of the mud.

That mud is acting like a suction cup.

Aagh!

Oh, God.

This is clearly one of the toughest challenges

we've ever had on Survivor.

But the champions get their box up on top of the wall.

- Yes! - Yes!

Contenders get it on the edge.

Everyone's really exhausted.

You gotta lift! You gotta lift up!

Three, two, one!

Aaagh!

Matt very frustrated.

Three, two, one...

Yahh!

Yes!

Contenders have lifted up that leading edge onto the deck.

Three, two, one...

Now they both have some momentum.

Ross goes down in the mud.

Everyone heaving, giving it everything they've got.

Aaagh!

Both tribes are neck and neck.

Three, two, one...

Yes! Three, two, one...

Get the mud out, quick!

Everyone's really exhausted.

No-one, at this stage, can get a lead.

Who's gonna get it up on the second ramp first?

Someone is going home tonight.

Yeah, just have a rest.

Listen, listen, have a rest for a sec.

Get a good grip on our rope. Let's not stress out.

- Slow and steady, eh? - Yep.

Gotta break that seal first. Gotta drag.

A lot of ideas flying around,

but none of them gaining traction.

Let's get everybody on Johnno's corner, alright?

The mud has just sucked that box to the ground.

Three, two, one...

And you've gotta pull as it goes up.

We need a proper pull. We need someone to call this for everyone.

Strength and strategy is the key to success here.

And just like that, the Champions get the box up on the ramp.

Champions have won all the rewards so far.

Is that gonna help them today?

It's so close! So close!

It moved.

Has everybody got a good grip?

- Up. - We're going up.

Three, two, one...

Heave!

Champions advance a little further on the deck.

Champions really getting some momentum.

This is what Survivor is about.

Never giving up.

- Go, go, go! - Three, two...

ET goes down in the mud.

Pull!

Champions really moving now.

Very close to getting it into that end zone.

- Three... - Two, one, go!

Alright, Champions, you're good. Start unpacking your pieces.

Let's go, puzzle!

Need to get all the pieces on the deck.

Just get 'em there, and come back, get 'em.

You just gotta get 'em there before you can start.

Steven and Ross on the puzzle for the Champions.

Guys, three, two, one...

Come on, Contenders. It ain't over till it's over!

They're taking their time. We got this.

Let's go! Let's get that box on top of the deck!

Come on, Contenders!

Three, two, one...

Aaah!

Yes, guys, come on!

Come on, guys!

Last piece for the Champions.

Alright.

Now they're kicking into gear.

Steven thinks he has the first piece.

- Left. Left. - Left! The one you just dropped.

Too many voices! Too many voices!

- Guys, guys, guys... - Other way.

- Guys, just let Pia talk. - Other way. Turn it around.

Ross slips one in.

Pushes it in with his feet.

Whatever it takes to get the job done.

OK, everyone reset, reset!

Come on, Contenders!

Champions' puzzle is coming together. You need to pick it up.

- Guys, just... - Alright, let's do it!

Lift, guys, lift.

You need to dig deep.

Three, two, one...

Come on!

Contenders, they are still stuck in the mud.

That's it!

OK, put one up the top and you're almost done.

Champions can feel that they have it.

Steven really thinks he has something going now.

That's it! Yes!

Ross has a piece in.

One more piece to go.

Go, Champs.

Both Steven and Ross are gonna do the honours together.

And that's done!

The Champions win immunity,

sending Contenders to tribal council.

Yeah!

Good hustle, guys.

Wow, well, that might be the toughest challenge

we have ever had on Survivor.

Well, Champions, congratulations. You got it done.

Immunity is yours.

Who wants it?

You do realise this is early in the season.

You're in trouble.

Grab your gear, head back to camp

before I change my mind about the immunity.

Go.

Well, Contenders, that was tough,

but it's only gonna get tougher at tribal council.

One of you is gonna become the second person voted out of this game.

Grab your gear, head on out. I'll see you guys tonight at tribal.

We lost today,

but I don't mind going to tribal council.

As a fan, as a super-fan, as an ultra-fan,

I've been dreaming of visiting tribal council for almost 20 years.

Now the battle begins.

This is what I'm here to do.

Today's immunity challenge was pretty brutal.

We just could not get that thing out of the mud.

It was not going anywhere.

Literally stuck in the mud.

That thing did not move. It made me feel, like, so weak.

In my head, the only option... to vote out is Baden.

At the challenge today, Baden got steamrolled.

He's our weakest performer.

He needs to go first.

We need strength 'cause we wanna win.

And we wanna win challenges.

OK, guys, we're gonna go through the Out of Africa theory,

how we actually got here to Australia.

Focus here on the map.

By day, I'm a high school history teacher.

I kind of always wanted to be a history teacher.

It's just these really interesting stories

about incredible times in life that don't exist anymore.

But by night...

..I am a professional wrestler...

..better known as Matty Wahlberg.

As a wrestler, you've gotta be supremely confident.

The moment I step through the curtain,

in my head, I am the best wrestler in the world.

No-one can touch me. Doesn't matter who I'm facing.

if they're bigger, if they're stronger, if they look scary,

you've gotta do whatever it takes

to make sure you're the winner at the end.

It is definitely time to raise the bar when it comes to the Contenders.

That's why I'm here. I want a Contender to win this game.

The simple choice is Baden.

The simple choice for all of us is Baden.

- From there on... - Then we worry about it then.

..we'll work it out. Yeah.

Numbers are everything here on Survivor,

and right now, we have the numbers.

So Baden needs to go.

- They'd be stupid not to vote him. - Yeah.

He's clearly the weakest.

Survivor has...

..a whole bunch of different aspects,

but the one that gets me excited is the strategy.

Figuring out how we decide who goes home

and then how we execute it.

That's exactly why I'm here.

We're gonna need to get some people together.

Yeah.

And that is just music to my ears.

I feel like it's just good, us having really good options.

With, like, safety nets all everywhere.

There's no doubt Baden's the primary target for this evening.

He's not strong enough physically

and he hasn't really been engaging with many people in the tribe.

But I don't want people targeting someone who is a safe number.

For me, Baden feels like someone I could potentially work with,

someone who's very easy to influence.

Laura clearly loves the game

and she's actually been building relationships

with as many people as possible.

And that combination is very dangerous.

If the girls were to ever try and pull something,

- like, they would need Laura. - I know.

So it makes a lot more sense strategically to get her out first.

Laura is absolutely going home tonight.

I'm gonna let Harry take the lead on this.

Take the lead, take the bullets.

- We might as well just talk about it quickly. - Yeah, go.

Like, people are throwing out either Laura or Baden.

I'm just gonna be completely transparent here.

I'm, like, gonna try and keep as much strength in the team as possible.

Yeah.

'Cause at the moment, us going into challenges, it will be a joke.

I think, to be honest, though,

- like, the guys are probably gonna go for Laura. - Laura.

So it pretty much just needs to come to a consensus.

Laura is 100% my target,

but I'm gonna try and convince some of these people

the right move right now is just getting rid of her.

This is Survivor, time to get your hands dirty.

Yeah, it doesn't matter to me, but...

Like, at this point, like, I think Laura,

- not having her around will be better for morale. - Really?

'Cause like any time she talks to me, Laura just gets like,

- "I wanna do this, then I wanna do this..." - Yeah, yeah.

Like, I reckon there'd be some people that just value strength.

- And only strength. - And only strength.

Yep.

I get a weird vibe from Laura occasionally.

Definitely.

She's causing some waves.

You reckon? OK.

Yep.

Tonight, we're going to try and split the votes

between Baden and Laura.

All we need is seven people to vote for Laura

and she'll be going home first.

- Hey! - Yeah, boys.

The fact that Harry's having conversations with everyone

is definitely putting him on my radar.

He hasn't had conversations with me yet.

So...

..I need to find out what's been going on.

It's just been the same plan since day one.

When it just became so obvious how outmatched he is in a lot of stuff.

So has anyone given a name to Baden?

- Baden? - Yeah.

- Yeah. - Yeah.

- He said it's Sarah. - Right.

As soon as Harry said to me

that Baden will be writing down Sarah as the other name,

it was this immediate feeling of just feeling off.

Just doesn't make sense to me to have Sarah down on there. So...

..I think it could be me actually going home.

Harry's dangerous.

I don't think I could trust him as far as I could throw him

and I don't even think I could pick him up.

I know at the moment that Laura's name...

..is out there.

But personally, I'm not onboard with this idea at all.

You've always gotta be wary.

That's why I'm a little bit... You know?

- I think now would be a bit silly. - Yep.

So obviously I think a lot of people would notice

the same thing with Laura is her size.

That's the first thing you notice,

but I think she's like that little dog that's got a lot fight

and a lot of bark in her.

And I respect that.

If we don't all stick together,

and we start all running off and talking individually,

then we get more paranoid 'cause everyone's off.

And, like, what's the reason you wanna put Laura up?

You're putting yourself...

- Yeah, target on your back. - ..in the firing line too.

- Especially now. - Yeah.

We didn't come here to lose to the Champions again.

We came here to beat them and beat them in everything.

The only option to vote out is Baden.

We should've had that win today.

I feel like haven't had enough agility challenges

to show what I'm made of.

- Yes! - That's exactly what I feel like.

- I'm not done. - Yeah.

Honestly, I'm feeling super nervous about tonight's vote.

I know that I haven't made enough friends to keep me safe tonight.

And...

..that's a little scary.

Mm-hm.

Yep.

My plan coming in wasn't to be on the chopping block

at the very first tribal I go to.

I don't wanna be the first one voted out of this tribe. Like, come on!

Tonight, I'm gonna give it absolutely everything I can

to fight for my life and stay in the game.

Paranoia is taking over, but tonight should be simple.

If we get rid of strong players now, the Champions are gonna run over us.

The only option, Baden.

Control in this game is built slowly.

It's built piece by piece.

But tonight should be the first step

in the foundations of what could be complete control of this game.

Behind each of you is a torch.

Go ahead and grab one.

Come forward, dip it in the flame and get fire.

This is part of the ritual at tribal council,

because in this game, fire represents your life.

Once your fire's gone, so are you.

Alright, Contenders.

On day one, you said

that you guys were the younger, stronger, better-looking tribe.

And, Matt, while it might be true that you're a good-looking bunch,

the Champions have beat you guys three out of four challenges.

They have, and...

..while we know we're very strong, they are also very strong,

and they are Champions for a reason,

and I think thus far, they have shown that.

Why do you think they keep beating you?

I think at the moment, as strong as we are...

..as a group of 12, we do have...

..a few little areas where certain people are letting us down.

Well, Daisy,

the challenges so far have really demanded a lot of physical strength.

Do you think everyone is pulling their weight in that department?

Um...

That's a good question, Jonathan.

It's hard to say. I mean...

Some days... When we won, I would have definitely said yes.

I would not agree.

You would not agree.

I think it's been... evident so far

that we have lacked some physical strength

from certain members of our team.

That's not their strong suit,

and I think we're kind of beating around the bush on that.

Shaun, where do you sit on this issue about strength in the tribe?

Yeah, I think, um... in these early stages of the game,

it's... it's so important to keep your tribe as strong as possible.

We've gotta be smart about this vote for the team.

Well, Baden,

when you hear all the big boys talk about strength in this tribe

and you're, like, half their size, is that a concern for you?

Absolutely.

Like, as has been said, three of the four challenges so far,

the pure brawn

has been what's been the difference between us and the Champions.

And I...

..I wish I had the chance to demonstrate my strengths,

like agility and swimming in the water and puzzles.

Like, I would have loved to have tackled that puzzle

in the immunity challenge today,

but we just didn't get the chance to get there.

Well, in a game that prioritises strength,

particularly in the early stages,

how do you prove your worth to the tribe?

You've just got to keep reminding your tribe mates

that there is more to it than just muscle.

There is a much more important part of it than that.

You do need to remember

that there is... yeah, more than one type of strength.

Well, Laura, as the smallest person on the tribe,

are you feeling the heat tonight?

Yeah, absolutely. I'd be silly not to be a bit worried.

I am physically not as strong definitely,

so I think there's a few of us

that kind of go into that group of people within the tribe.

I can be an asset to this team.

But... I don't think that I have formed a strong enough bond

with a lot of the tribe members

in order to try and save myself at this stage of the game

if my name is up.

So, Andy, more often than not, the first vote is about personality.

How important is it to make a good first impression in this game?

I think it's really important.

I mean, we've spent the last five days on a beach

in a hand-built shelter...

..living on rice and beans as complete strangers.

And... we have 12 incredible people here

with backgrounds that frankly kind of blow my mind.

So... making a first impression is... is critical,

because we're gonna be making decisions

about who gets to keep playing this game...

..in 10 minutes' time!

And... so if you don't bring your story to life

in a way that, you know, other people wanna connect with you

and wanna play this game with you for 50 days,

then... yeah, it could be you that... that is sitting at the bottom.

Laura, Andy brings up a good point.

Connections are everything.

Is there such a thing as having too many friends on Survivor?

Not if you can trust them.

Although, can you really ever trust anyone on Survivor? Let's be honest.

Um... you're probably definitely in a better place

if you've got a lot of friends.

Andy... you gave Laura a long, hard look then.

What's going through your head?

Well, I'm agreeing that more friends is definitely better than few,

and I think was also agreeing with the fact that...

Can you ever trust anyone 100% in this game?

Well, let me ask you this,

if someone is friends with everyone,

can you really trust them?

Yeah. This is... this is the beauty of this game.

It's the most delicate balancing act, I think.

Because, yes, you need connections.

You can't be successful in this game

without being connected to other people and playing with them.

But if you're friends with everyone,

then are you really friends with anyone?

That's a great point.

Well, Laura, how do you know if you're really in the majority?

Oh, you can get a bit of a sense around tribe, definitely,

just with the way people go up and chat and do certain things.

There are definitely little groups starting to form.

But that's not to say that things won't change at some point.

This game can throw a lot of curveballs.

Baden, earlier you said you don't have the strength.

But do you have more to show this tribe?

I think I've got plenty more to show you guys. Honestly.

Like, I know that these first few challenges

haven't been in my... area of expertise,

but I have plenty that I can bring to this game.

This is so different from my everyday life.

I'm not a person who runs round in the mud and jumps over things

and lives in bamboo shelters all the time.

This is a completely far cry from sitting at a desk working on my PhD.

I'm here to show not just myself,

but anyone who knows me

and might have assumed that this would be beyond me...

..that it isn't,

and I can take on challenges and do well at them.

And not just for me as well, anyone.

I think there's plenty of people like me

who feel that they're a bit introverted or shy

or bit scared to just try something

that they feel that they might not succeed at.

To get the reward, you have to take the risk.

I'm playing for people who... who don't feel that they can achieve,

but they can achieve.

Andy, what are your criteria for tonight's vote?

I mean, strength is obviously... important.

We're up against Olympic athletes and rugby league legends

and distance swimmers...

..and guys wearing leather jackets in the jungle for some reason.

Who is that guy?

I don't know, but he looks strong.

So strength is a huge part of it, of course.

But is it everything?

We wanna be cohesive as well.

Matt, if you could sum up tonight's vote in one word, what would that be?

Simple.

Alright, well, it is time to vote.

Alright. It is time to vote. Sarah, you're up.

Matt.

I didn't think you had to go.

You got a lot of heart.

You probably deserve to be here, but...

..majority rules.

I meant to ask how to spell your name,

but I thought that might be a little awkward.

This is just an insurance policy, buddy.

I'll go count the votes.

If anyone has a hidden immunity idol and you want to play it,

now would be the time to do so.

OK. Once the votes are read, the decision is final.

Person voted out

will be asked to leave the tribal council area immediately.

I'll read the votes.

First vote...

Laura.

That's two votes Laura.

Laura.

That's four votes Laura.

Baden.

That's four votes Laura, one vote Baden.

Baden.

We're tied.

Four votes Laura, four votes Baden.

Laura.

That's five votes Laura, four votes Baden.

Laura.

That's six votes Laura, four votes Baden.

Second person voted out of Australian Survivor...

..Laura.

That's seven votes. That's enough.

Need to bring me your torch.

Seriously no hard feelings at all, guys.

Make sure there is a Contender at the end.

Laura, the tribe has spoken.

They sure have.

- Time for you to go. - Thanks.

Well, tonight it became clear this tribe is after two things,

strength and cohesion.

Question is, in this game, can you truly ever have both?

Grab your torches. Head back to camp.

Goodnight.

Next week, on Australian Survivor...

Go!

..the most gruelling challenges yet...

Oh!

..will test them physically...

Guys, you gotta help him!

Go on, Baden!

..and emotionally.

No, I can't.

Yes, you can.

I know what you've been through! I know how strong you are!

Champions.

Contenders.

Who will rise?

Big moves like this are how people win.

Who will fall?

Every single person on this tribe

is gonna be trying to take the Champions down.

And who will claim the biggest move...

Something I have been dreaming of for two seasons.

..in Survivor history?

I've done some big deals in my life,

but this could be one of the biggest.

Oh, I'm definitely devastated to be the first Contender out,

without a doubt.

It's embarrassing, the first person voted off your tribe.

I've been lied to,

and it's definitely Harry, I think, that started it.

I was 90% sure that it was Baden going home.

I was the best to boot

because long term,

I'm probably a bigger threat than some of the other weaker ones.

There are certain challenges that are gonna come up shortly

where they're gonna want someone with really good balance

or someone who can climb really bloody quickly.

They'll miss me then.
