"It's day 12, and the
game is about to change.

- "- Drop your buffs."
- Drop your buffs!

- Yes!
- Let's go!

We did it!

Previously on survivor...

Eva's idol, Mitch's block a vote

that was two big pieces of information.

David and I connected, like, immediately.

- Perfect.
- So I told him that we're tight.

Our plan is to start building a team

myself, Eva, shauhin, David and Kyle.

- Okay.
- We're getting all

the strong people
together, and we are winning

survivor 48.

I don't trust sai, and
I don't really like sai.

To me, that is the smartest move.

I say we write charity.

I feel like that is rock-solid.

Charity is my target. Let's
get her out of this game.

I don't even want her on the jury.

Let's send her home.

Cedrek.

Sai.

Sixth person voted out of survivor 48:

Charity.

The tribe has spoken.

Whoo-ee.

Not at all.

I'm probably not the one to talk to.

Tonight I thought the vote
was gonna be 12 to one

for sai to go home, and instead

charity was voted off.

Charity and I

have been playing this game together

pretty closely from day one, so it hurts,

and no one wanted to tell me.

I'm gonna tell you the truth.

I voted charity tonight

'cause people had told me that
she was throwing my name around.

Like, that's the truth.

- I didn't want to write sai's name down...
- Yeah.

And then I felt like I had to.

And now I'm questioning,

is every conversation
I've had up to this point...

Genuine at all?

It just hurts that people

that you thought you trusted in this game

weren't being honest with you.

I think we were afraid because
you guys seemed like this.

Well, yeah, totally,

but I wouldn't have, like, you know,

put my whole game on the line for her.

At this point, I don't know where I stand.

And on top of that,

I need to talk with the person
whose name I put down tonight,

'cause I don't want that
to blow up my game.

I'm just more frustrated in this moment,

'cause I didn't want
to put your name down.

Yeah.

I'm the cat with nine lives.

Going into tribal council, I felt like

I might see my name once
or twice but not five times.

That was a little dramatic.

These people are
absolutely obsessed with me.

I tried to fight for it not to go that way.

And everyone looked
me in the face and said,

"no, this is the way it's gonna go."

Mitch told me

that he was trying to advocate for me,

but he's voted for me twice,

so I didn't really believe him.

I was so glad you were
even willing to talk to me.

No...

So, moving forward, I'd like to see

Mitch go.

Same. I don't know where the... I don't...

So, I received one vote at tribal council.

I didn't expect to see my
name written down, however,

which makes me a little bit concerned.

The handwriting was beautiful,

and it didn't look like
a guy's handwriting.

So I thought, could it be sai?

But I had been to tribals before with sai

and had never seen that penmanship.

And unless she was
saving this penmanship

for writing my name down, who knows?

But that's definitely been
sai's type of game play.

Honestly, I think it was charity.

Me, too. I said the same thing.

There was a random vote on cedrek,

I have no idea where that came from.

But, no, it was me. I
needed to get my lick back.

I did it just because
he voted for me twice.

Do not take that personal.

No, I didn't, I didn't
take... I was just confused.

I purposely wrote it in cursive

so nobody would know
it was my handwriting.

And it did exactly what
it was supposed to do,

'cause I wanted to spook him a little bit.

He literally is panicking over one vote,

and I needed him to
feel a little bit of the heat,

see what it feels like to
have your name written down,

especially by somebody
you really thought you trusted.

Look at this purple.

Yeah.

Middle of the sky.

What a morning.

You know, it's gonna
be a good day, guys.

Yeah.

Coming into this game, I knew that

I was gonna have a
hard time emotionally,

if I was hurt or lied to.

Mitch, how you doing?

Good.

We need to talk. Let's chat.

Yesterday,

I got blindsided by people
who I love and trusted.

And it was just a lot to...

To-to-to... to take in.

I knew that charity's
name was on the block

and was told specifically not to tell you

- because you're close to charity.
- Yeah.

I think being blindsided

was just a rude awakening, but...

Like, I can't sit here and be frustrated.

I'm playing a game.

So I got to put

a smile on my face and move forward

and pick up wherever I can.

I totally get how come
people didn't tell me.

It's, like, totally fine.

To me, I didn't know
you guys were besties.

- Yeah.
- I'm looking at it like,

"why does it matter which one goes?"

I know I have a lot of
work to do, but I'm just

happy I'm still here in this game.

How many kids do you
have in your classes?

It's, like, almost 50.

They're gonna be so excited.

The best way to connect
with people is to share stories

outside of this game.

Do you coach the tennis
team as well, or no?

- You do. Okay, cool...
- Yeah.

But before I was doing that,

I was, like, a, a, postman.

- Letter carrier.
- What? - Yeah.

- I was m...
- Letter carrier.

I was mailman Mitch.

Super good money, good benefits...

- Right? Benefits and all that.
- Why'd you bail?

Because I just felt super conflicted

that I, like, wasn't just doing enough

with this story, that I have.

So I took a massive pay
cut and decided to go...

Try and teach.

I just had a heartfelt conversation

with Joe and shauhin.

That's so awesome.

If I can build some trust there,

then I'm hopeful I can
make it another 24 hours

out here.

Do you ever do, like, survivor
games with your pe classes?

I haven't yet.

- But you're gonna have to now.
- Like, yeah.

Mitch seems like a wonderful person.

And we're really starting to bond,

but we're getting
pretty deep in the game.

And Mitch is super
talented. I respect him.

And he's just a competitor.

I watch him.

And keeping him around,
he could win this thing easily.

I mean, that's a guy,

because of his social game, his story,

and that awesome feat that he has done

to perform very well in these challenges.

Who wouldn't vote for him, right?

I think shauhin, for sure.

Eva. Mitch, for sure.

It's weird.

My name has been
written down so many times.

I've been playing a game

where lots of people have not liked me.

And every time I have
my name written down,

it feels like I shouldn't be here.

So that can feel like a lot,

but I've always been
shown that life is tough.

It's just about what
you do moving forward.

So I'm going to socialize

with the people with a
position of power in this game.

Glad to actually meet you now.

Yeah.

Like, I hadn't spoken to y'all,
and I don't want to be fake,

but it's really hard for me
to build genuine connections

and then turn around
and be like, "you got to go."

It's just not in me.

I genuine just cannot do surface level.

Sai came over to talk to me,

which was a little surprising

because we've never really connected.

And what it came down to
is, if sai knows that you don't

like her or you're, like, not her people,

and then you're like,
"hey, come sit with us."

She's gonna be like, "Jack
that. You don't like me.

Why are you doing that?"

She views it as fake.

As opposed to, if you
go to sai and you go,

"hey, we have a problem.
We need to figure it out."

I think she'll respect that.

I mean, obviously, you know I
wrote down your name last night.

- Yeah.
- All right.

I don't take any of it personally.

I appreciate you being like,
"I wrote your name down."

I do feel you are someone
that I could work with.

Yes, for sure.

In another universe, like,

if we would have started
on the same tribes,

I think sai and I actually
would have worked together,

because she's the type of person

that I wanted to work
with coming out here

someone who's strategic, smart,

and came to play this game hard.

- This was cool. I respect it.
- It was cool.

- Same. Yeah.
- Thanks. Appreciate it.

But at the end of the day,

sai is in a lot of danger right now.

And she's not the only person

running around and talking to everybody.

We're here, day number
14. So what's the word?

- What are we doing?
- I don't know.

One thing that I'm not doing,
I'm not flipping anywhere.

- I'm not trying to start an insurrection.
- Yeah, of course.

You know, I just want
to, like, play the game.

And then, obviously, it
gets a little bit more messy

when you get down to eight, seven, six.

Yeah, this game's getting crazy?

It's crazy.

This morning,

cedrek, sai and Mitch
each came and talked to me.

Those are the three people on the outs.

And this is what they should be doing.

They should be having those
conversations with people

like me right now.

I don't think anyone
else would join them.

- No.
- So close to the jury.

They would be blowing up their game.

I'm kind of in the middle

of absolutely everything,

and I think any move
that needs to be made

would have to be made using me.

I feel like I am in pretty
good control of the tribe.

And if I can maintain that control,

I will win this game.

Come on in.

Boy.

What's up, Jeff?

What's up?

Survivor 48.

- What's up, Jeff?
- Hey, Jeff.

Morning, Jeff.

Down to 12.

All right.

Shall we get to today's
immunity challenge?

- Whoo-ee!
- Whoo!

First things first, Kyle.

Got to take back the necklace.

So purty.

- Thank you.
- Looked good on you, brother...

Looks good on you, man.

Good job. Good job.

Once again, immunity
is back up for grabs.

For today's challenge,

you're gonna hold on to a handle

connected to a bucket containing 25%

of your pregame body weight.

As your hands start to fatigue,

that bucket's gonna lower.

When it finally drops, smashes your tile,

you're out.

Last person left standing wins immunity.

There is a twist to today's challenge.

Of course.

You're gonna be randomly
divided into two groups of six.

The person who lasts
the longest for each group

will earn immunity.

Let's go.

So two people will be safe tonight,

and that matters because

both groups are going to tribal council.

Both groups are gonna
vote somebody out.

You're also playing for a reward.

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

The person who lasts the
longest out of everybody

earns for their group

a do-it-yourself peanut
butter and jelly afternoon.

With chips and juice,

and you earn the right to
go to tribal council second.

And that matters because
the person voted out

at the first tribal council
won't make the jury.

You won't even have a
say in who wins this game.

Big enough stakes?

Yes.

Should we draw for teams?

Yes.

- Please, Jeff.
- Let's do it.

Here we go. Game is turning right here.

All right, so let's review our two teams.

We have, on orange, star, Joe, Mitch,

Chrissy, Eva and sai.

On purple, we have Kyle, shauhin,

cedrek, Mary, David and kamilla.

One person from each
group's gonna have immunity.

Whoever lasts the longest
will earn for your group

those two big rewards

food and going to tribal council second.

All right, we're gonna draw for spots.

We'll get it on. Here we go.

- Let's do it.
- Let's go.

- Let's freaking go.
- It's gonna be good.

All right, everybody put
your hands on your handle

and click it back.

Yep, that click is what you want.

All right, everybody
has clicked into position,

and this challenge is on.

25% of your pregame body weight.

You're gonna have to dig in
to what is left in your reserve.

Cedrek is out after about 20 seconds.

Cedrek gonna be first on the bench.

No shot at immunity,

but that doesn't mean he
won't be eating this afternoon.

The two players who last the longest,

one on orange, one on
purple, will each earn immunity,

but the person who
lasts the longest overall

also earns for their group reward.

Keep digging.

You never know what the
other players are feeling.

Star drops. Star is out for orange.

We're down to five for
orange and five for purple.

I don't care who you
are. You are feeling it.

Everybody fighting for this.

Chrissy with a little bit more of a drop.

Come on, Chris.

Chrissy getting closer. Chrissy's out.

We're down to four on orange.

Sai drops. Sai is out. We're
down to three on orange.

Peanut butter.

Kamilla drops for purple.

We're down to four on purple.

You now got a shot at
immunity and reward.

Mary's bucket is about halfway down.

That is not good.

She's gonna try to wrench it back up.

- But she's losing the battle.
- Come on.

Mary very close to dropping.

Mary's out.

We're down to three on each color.

It is Eva, Joe and Mitch
battling for immunity.

It is David, Kyle, and
shauhin battling for purple.

Shauhin wrenching that bucket back up.

- Get it, shauhin.
- Yeah, shauhin.

It's what you got to do out here.

You got to fight.

Come on, orange. You got it.

Eva has not budged in this challenge.

- Beast mode, Eva. Beast. Beast.
- Come on, girl. That's my girl.

- Yes, Eva.
- Peanut butter.

Joe now going to the seated position.

Mitch in a bit of a squat.

Shauhin losing his bucket again.

But shauhin, once again,
trying to wrench it back.

Fight for it. Fight for it, brother.

- Can he get it?
- You can do it, shauhin.

- Come on, man.
- Starting to tear that skin now.

This is where you really are
reminded you're on survivor.

There's no cushion on that handle.

Good job. Good job.

- Good job.
- Now Mitch starting to lower.

- Mitch now going to pull it back up.
- He's crazy.

- That's how you do it, Mitch.
- Good effort.

Mitch, you want this

Joe now gonna wrench his back up.

- Good effort.
- We want this, guys.

Good effort.

We want this, guys. We want this.

Come on.

- Shauhin can't hold on any longer.
- Hey, that's a good fight.

Shauhin is out. We got
a showdown on purple.

David versus Kyle.

And on orange, we have
Eva versus Joe versus Mitch.

- You got this, Mitch.
- You got it, Mitch.

Mitch digging in again.

- Anguish on the face.
- You're doing amazing, Mitch.

Does not want to drop.

Come on.

Mitch drops.

- He's out.
- Good job, Mitch.

We got a showdown now on both sides.

It is Eva versus Joe.

It is David versus Kyle.

Two immunities on the
line and a big reward.

I love competing against you boys.

- This is fun.
- I love it, Eva.

That's right. Show 'em
how, Eva. Show 'em.

Yeah, let's go, Eva.

Show 'em women power, baby.

You're incredible.

You can't tell what Eva's feeling,

but what she's showing is very clear.

Solid.

This is what it's all about, guys.

Kyle's already won that necklace.

It looked good on him.

He's imagining wearing it again.

Yeah, I look good in everything, Jeff.

There you go.

- Yeah, you got me?
- Yeah.

All right, I'll try and
make it interesting for you.

Survivor smack talk.

I can do this all day, buddy.

Man. I'm-a see.

Montage of smack talk.

It's time. Cue the music.

- Nice.
- I got you.

Give me a little more of that, shauhin.

You don't want to go up to the top?

I haven't moved, this is where it started.

I don't know, I think you had
to start up there where I was.

Nah, just start it right here.

Yeah, come join us, David.

- Mine's higher than yours.
- Bop to the top, buddy.

You...

Yeah, how's second place look on you?

Whoa, the smack talk is
going to another level now.

- Is Eva talking over there?
- Yeah.

Don't wear yourself out, man, seriously.

Eva, you're on a lake
in Michigan skiing, baby.

Minnesota, baby.

I'm sorry. God.

It's like you guys don't know me at all.

Yeah, bro.

It's pretty good.

Thanks.

Here all day.

Coming up on 15
minutes in this challenge.

Wow.

That's awesome, y'all.

Let's go, here. Let's go.

- Fifteen minutes.
- Fifteen minutes.

You guys can do this.

With respect, cedrek, he
lasted about 15 seconds, so...

It's okay. I'm here.

- Yep.
- I'm here.

Thank you, Jeff, for
this. This... this is fun.

You're welcome, David.
Thanks for being out here.

Appreciate you.

This is my job.

- We get this for free.
- It's true.

Body by Jeff.

Body by Jeff.

Yeah, p90 who?

Working on grip strength. Holy...

Welcome to the show.

Today, we're working on biceps.

They're the reason I don't
take my shirt off on this show.

Hey, man, you can't be all things.

- Yeah, you can't be all things.
- Whoa.

Thanks, Jeff.

It is a bit of a fitness
magazine cover shoot.

Kyle wrenching it back up once again,

right to the top.

Good job, Kyle.

- You good, man?
- Yeah, I'm good.

I just ripped some skin open.

- Did you say you ripped some skin?
- Yeah, yeah.

It's fine. I'm good.

It's a callus.

Yeah, it's a wart. It's a wart.

It's a wart.

Y'all are haters, man.

Haters in the building, Kyle.

A lot of haters on the benches, too.

Good job, guys.

Eva, for the first time, showing

a little bit of slippage.

You're doing amazing.

- You're gonna have to dig in, Eva.
- You go, Eva.

- You got this.
- Eva dropping more and more.

This is not looking good.

Don't you quit now. You hear me?

Yep.

Don't you quit now.

Eva has held it off now for a long time.

Don't you quit now.

Eva fighting to stay in it.

Fight it. Pull it back.

Pull it back.

Eva drops. Joe has
won individual immunity.

Eva.

- Eva, you're amazing.
- Hey, let's go here, Joe. Let's go here.

Joe, hang in there.

We got a showdown now between Joe,

who's already won immunity,
and David versus Kyle.

Kyle gonna wrench his back up.

He didn't want to risk it.

You got it?

I got this.

Kyle drops.

David wins individual immunity.

Here we go. This is what you want.

Come on, Joe.

It is Joe versus David.

Both have won individual immunity.

Now you're fighting for
reward back at camp.

Peanut butter. Jelly.

Plus, you go to tribal council last.

And the silver lining is,
even for the person voted out,

they're part of the jury.

- They get to decide who wins this game.
- Hey, Joe.

I'll let you know right now, man.

I'm doing all right.

Okay, man.

So is he, David.

So is he.

I know he is.

He's actually feeling amazing.

I know he is.

Been up there 22 minutes.

Wow.

38 minutes is the current record.

Gabler, in that legendary challenge

where he was shouting out

to everybody from his past.

We could be here a while.

You have set a new
record now at 39 minutes,

- longest anyone has lasted.
- What? -Wow.

- Good job, Joe.
- Yes.

- Good job, Joe!
- Yeah!

- We want some more. We want some more.
- Well done, boys.

Well done.

When you're breaking
records in the 48th season

of survivor, something's going right.

We got the rock versus captain america.

I know.

We got this, Joe.

That's right, Joe.

That's right, baby.

There ain't no running
out of this fire, Joe.

You're staying in and putting it out.

Thank you.

- Forty-four minutes you've been up there.
- Wow.

You're doing great, Joe.

Thank you.

David's moving.

- My god. David.
- David.

Right after this challenge,
you can see the commercial.

"Survivor's not easy. Apply now."

I'm gonna do that.

Let's do it right now.

Survivor's not easy.

Get off the couch and apply.

There you go.

This is what we wanted, baby.

For sure, brother.

I think we need to go an hour, Jeff.

- Let's go.
- My god.

I got nothing but time.

Us neither.

- Yeah.
- Yeah, what are we gonna do?

Fifty-two minutes now.

- Wow. - My god.
- Wow.

Incredible.

That is a long time,
and that is a lot of pain.

I know.

I got a lot of respect for Joe here.

I mean, he's a father...
something I hope to be one day.

And I know he's fighting
for them right now,

and I can see it in his eyes.

- Joe now gonna get back into it.
- There you go, Joe.

- Good job. Good job.
- Hell yeah, baby.

Another surge of energy.

Wrenching that bucket back up top.

You're a warrior, man.

Wow.

- Not giving up.
- Unreal.

- Bro, mad respect, man. Mad respect.
- You, too, brother.

Bro.

- Seriously, you, too, man.
- Seriously.

I mean it.

I mean that.

Joe drops!

This is over.

Joe wins individual immunity.

David wins individual immunity

and David earns, for his
group, - bro, come here.

Food reward and going
to tribal council last.

Incredible.

Wow.

- Huge effort by David and Joe.
- Wow.

Set a new record.

Lasted nearly an hour.

- Good job.
- Good job.

Every part of their bodies
has to be hurting right now.

Bro, that was incredible.

Good job.

Joe, come on over.

Yeah.

Yeah, Joe!

Huge effort.

Season 48, we are still setting records.

You are safe tonight.

Cannot be voted out of this game.

You will live to see another day.

What's the feeling right now?

Because I could tell both you and David

had some inner drive
beyond survivor going.

'Cause that is a very
long time to sit up there.

My kids.

Just trying to show 'em when
you don't think you can, and...

Just try to fight.

And just make sure
when pain's in your face,

you just lean into it.

So, when you're thinking
of your kids, are you literally

just imagining them and
imagining them watch this?

What is it?

I'm just saying their name,

like j-a-y-d-e and Joseph
over and over again.

And just them cheering for me.

All right, Joe. Congrats.
You're safe tonight.

Thank you.

- Yeah, Joe.
- Good job, Joe.

- Yeah, Joe.
- Yeah, Joe.

David, come on over.

Yeah, David.

Congratulations.

Immunity is yours.

You two safe tonight at tribal council.

In addition, you've won a big reward.

You win the food.

You're all gonna go back to your camp.

Peanut butter and jelly afternoon.

Chips, juice. In addition,

you will go to tribal council second.

And as I said, that matters.

Because, at the very least,

the person voted out from
your group will make the jury.

You will have some say
in who wins this game.

Grab your stuff, head back
to camp, where you will enjoy

- an afternoon of food...
- Enjoy it, guys.

Yes. Yes. Come on.

And going to tribal council last.

Enjoy.

- Enjoy, enjoy, enjoy.
- Enjoy.

Good job, guys. Good job, David.

Killed it, man.

All right, Joe, star,

Chrissy, Mitch, sai,
Eva, got nothing for you.

Grab your stuff. You are heading
back to the old civa camp...

My god.

Where you will spend the afternoon

and go to tribal directly from there,

where somebody will
be the seventh person

voted out of survivor 48.

Grab your stuff, head out.

I'm mentally and emotionally drained.

I'm the only one left who hasn't

had an opportunity to
eat something on a reward.

And to make matters worse,

the person going home tonight is

one spot away from being on the jur...

On the jury.

Peanut butter and chips? My god.

- Thank... David, thank you so much, dude.
- All right, man.

- David, thank you so much.
- Thank you, David.

We saw a battle royale

that will go down in the
history books of survivor.

Dude, we got to see a
record set on survivor.

Sick.

Thank you.

David and Joe.

Like, captain america versus the rock.

Like, come on. And I'm
front row. It was awesome.

I'll tell you what, man.
You look pretty good.

- This is amazingly good.
- How's it feel

- to set a record, David?
- Man.

Can I tell you, from a fan perspective?

That was one of the
coolest things to see.

- My god.
- Yeah.

- Got right front seat to it.
- Two titans.

- That was incredible.
- Thank you.

I won that challenge, my
first immunity challenge.

All this muscle mass.

I never had any doubt whatsoever.

- Peanut butter?
- I got some, thank you.

Going into tonight,

ced is the only person I really
want to see going home tonight.

I have a strong alliance.

We have an abundance of food.

And getting the win at
the immunity challenge?

I'm feeling good. I feel like

I am in the number one spot,

the best position I could ever be in.

And we made the jury.

- We made the jury.
- Yeah. - Wow.

- We made the jury.
- That's it.

- None of us are going home early.
- Wait, guys.

- Do you know what this means?
- What's that?

Sai's not gonna make the jury.

- You think she's the one?
- I think so. - Yeah.

I have some concern about

my position in this group.

- Cheers, y'all.
- Cheers.

Because I have no
alliances in this group.

And I got a vote at
last night's tribal council.

So, the initial thought
was, "the target's me.

I'm gonna be the one
that goes home tonight."

Do we know who gets voted out?

They'll go first, we'll go second.

We won't know what happened.

It looks like cedrek is probably gonna

be the one going home today because

he doesn't have any sort

of preexisting alliances with anybody.

But with only six people on this island,

maybe there's an
opportunity to make a move.

Shauhin is a part of a strong

majority that I've been working with,

but I don't trust shauhin
because shauhin went

through my bag, and is a good liar.

I sat there and watched
him lie to my face.

I know that I would be
somebody that he takes a shot at.

I just don't know when that is, and

at some point, I want to
stop looking over my shoulder.

You know, tonight,

even though, you know,
I have the immunity,

we got to go to tribal first,

we don't get to eat anything,

and we're going back to civa.

And why that matters,
civa... we don't even have flint,

we don't have a machete,
we don't have a pot.

Welcome to civa, guys.

Yeah, home sweet home.

And on top of it,

whoever gets voted out
does not make the jury.

So who do we not want on the jury

is really the question.

You guys have, papayas, you said?

We can go check and
see if there's any ripe ones,

but this tree right here... underneath it

tons of freaking almonds.

But right now, I think the people overall

that are on the outs are Mitch and sai.

Should we talk or no?

That's on you. If you want to.

I mean, we can talk.

But we haven't talked strategy, ever.

Nope.

But I'm pretty much,
like, the easiest vote here,

so I don't really feel like I have much...

Pull, you know?

Simply because of the votes

that happened last night at tribal council,

I knew I was on the bottom,

I know I'm on the top of people's minds.

That is very scary.
So, I need to make sure

it's not my torch that's being snuffed.

I don't know where
anybody's here head is at.

I have no idea. I genuinely have no clue.

Joe, I haven't spoken to at all,

but I think he's the old-school type,

where he's locked in with
his people and he's good to go.

So, he wasn't saying anything,

but I'm not gonna give up.

I could wallow

in all of those times that
people wrote my name down,

but I get back up.

- Can I steal you?
- Yeah.

I'm gonna work the room
and get through another vote.

I'm literally the cat with
nine lives at this point.

- Okay.
- Okay.

And because you voted
for me twice, I have no...

- Yeah.
- Qualms with it.

Okay. I'm not working with him.

- Okay, cool.
- That works for me.

I just want to make sure
you knew where I am now.

Mitch has voted for me twice.

That was my last straw, really.

So, my plan is I need to plant seeds

that Mitch is dangerous.

I've had no good connection
with Mitch or Chrissy.

I'm afraid to strike at Mitch, though,

because of the block a vote.

I just learned about the
block a vote at the merge feast.

Sai could definitely be
the vote tonight because

she creates chaos and it really
rubs people the wrong way.

We wanted to get her out before,

and we split votes with her and charity.

I would have been happy
with either of them going home.

Charity went home, and so,

now, logically, the next person is sai.

That's who I want, too.

That's who we voted for yesterday.

- Yeah.
- Me too.

Mitch, on the other hand

I just haven't really
connected with him very much.

He's a person who
could be a danger later

'cause he's very good at all these

funky little challenges,

and he's very much a social threat

'cause people like him.

So, it's a lot to weigh out
between those two choices.

This is a really important vote

that can have, like, a
huge impact on your game,

because whoever goes
home will not be on the jury.

Man.

- All right, let's... Let's talk.
- So...

What are you thinking, big dog?

You know it's pretty
easy, unfortunately. Yeah.

The only part that's hard
is what do we tell him?

Who would he find most believable?

Which scares me,
'cause if he gets spooked

and plays his shot in
the dark, that's my game.

- God.
- If he plays his shot in the dark,

he doesn't have a vote.

- Right. - True.
- Yeah, so we just...

Right. Okay.

- So we're all good.
- Right. Right.

- Okay, good, man.
- Yeah.

Everyone we're working with is loyal.

I think so, too.

There's so many seasons.
Just manipulation and back stabs

- and all this...
- And that's part of the game, but...

It is part of the game, but it
doesn't have to be so early.

Yeah.

Finding out that I'm being used

as a smokescreen is concerning.

If survivor is a game of trust,

tonight's the night where I
have to bank on that trust.

My torch absolutely
could get snuffed tonight.

But I think David means it.

I think he really does
want to battle it out

with the big boys at the end.

I think that means a lot to him.

And I don't mind that.

Because I think what
ends up happening is,

the freak athletes
want to go at each other.

At some point, they're gonna wake up.

And they're not gonna
wake up and look at me.

Mary and David want to pitch cedrek me.

I'm not panicked or
anything, but it's certainly,

- like, it's not ideal.
- Yeah.

Shauhin is the decoy vote.

This is perfect. This could
be an opportunity, because

I have had my eyes on
shauhin for quite some time.

In my mind,

I'm kind of working
with the devil you know.

- Listen, I think shauhin makes no sense.
- Yeah.

Cedrek would definitely be on board.

That's who's actually going home tonight.

So, if we were to take out shauhin,

maybe I have a little bit
less fear in this game about

whether he's gonna take a shot at me.

So, shauhin's gonna vote you.

So I'll probably have one for me

- and five would be for shauhin.
- Yeah.

There's clearly an
opportunity to vote shauhin out,

as opposed to voting me out.

I think that

Kyle is somebody that I've come to find

that I could potentially
trust in this game.

I will connect with kamilla
to make sure that she's on.

But I still think there's
a lot of scrambling

and conversations happening.

How are you feeling?

Like, I feel even when we get to talk,

I have to, like, say,
like, 19 words to you.

Yeah. I am just so glad

that we both have somehow
managed to escape everything.

And we just keep ending
up in, like, insane positions

- where we're, like, really safe.
- Yeah.

Kamilla and I are the
most undercover duo

I think this game has ever seen.

We went through some stuff at vula.

We really had to pull some tricks.

And I think that we
could really maneuver

in a way that would allow
us to go deep into this game.

We're, like, super-insulated right now.

- Yeah.
- But I'm just scared of, like,

how things might end up down the line.

- With, like, Joe, - you think?
- Not Joe. Shauhin.

He has been the person
who has scared me most

- since we played this game.
- Yeah.

Bianca/tom scared me,
but I'm... they're gone.

- Yeah.
- David, I think.

David is with us, and I
think he would ride with us.

- You get what I'm saying?
- Yeah.

Or even a rumor or something.

If we can brainstorm something

that gets into David's head,

then we can do whatever we want.

But David's got to believe it.

If we decided to take shauhin out,

we'd probably have to lie to David,

and we'd have to tell him
that shauhin did something

that threatened our games.

So if we can get David on board tonight,

we could make a move against shauhin.

Yes.

- This is crazy.
- This is crazy.

- This is crazy.
- This is insane.

The only thing I'm a little
scared about: There's idols.

- Eva's?
- Eva has an idol.

Then, the morning after Kyle played his,

we all went to the water well together.

Someone hung back a little bit.

Who?

You think shauhin has the idol?

I have a feeling that shauhin has an idol.

Dude.

We're gonna frame shauhin.

So, what I try and do
is spin this story of how

shauhin has an idol and he
wants to make a big move.

And I need something
super-incriminating

for David to flip on shauhin.

- He is a smart player.
- Yeah.

You know, we suspect shauhin.

- Yeah.
- I think we have to be skeptical of him,

- but I do trust him.
- Yeah.

Did you sign your name?

- No.
- If I vote out cedrek,

I keep the strong five intact.

The strong five

is me, Kyle, Joe, Eva and shauhin.

Those are the five that
I actually want to see

in the final five because I
want a strong competitor

to win season 48 of survivor.

However, shauhin's smart.

And shauhin also might have an idol.

I think he's looking to make a move.

And there is concern with shauhin

flipping on the strong five.

I think that's something
we need to be worried about.

But cedrek wants to be a number so bad

that he's willing to do
anything, and that's dangerous.

So voting out ced

and voting out shauhin
both have consequences.

So I have to ask myself, "which
relationships do I want to keep"

"moving forward, and which ones

is it time to cut?"

And yesterday.

And the day before.

Like, can... Can I catch a break?

I was devastated when we lost.

I just... keep falling short.

Sai and Mitch are on the
bottom of my alliances.

So even though

I don't trust sai, Mitch
is all over the place.

I don't know if it's because
he hasn't eaten or whatnot.

I know he's hungry,
and this game is starting

to mentally and physically get to him.

And here's another thing.

A strong competitor. I
mean, challenges, wow.

He's got a great story.

So all these things combined

that's where it's scaring me now.

Yup.

Mitch is friggin'... he's

I don't know. He's been
scaring me. I don't know

- where his head's at. Like...
- Yeah. Well, that would

be a smart move because
he's so good at challenges.

- True, true.
- You know what I'm saying?

That's, like, if we're
keeping all the strong,

- he's skinny, but he's strong.
- Yeah. Yeah.

We need to take out the strong people

in order to give anybody a
fighting chance at this game,

or even making it to
final seven, final five.

And Mitch definitely
is a strong competitor.

- There's a lot of strong people.
- Yes, exactly.

It's gonna be strong
against the weaker people.

Basically.

In this game of survivor,

I'm plotting to get rid
of the physical threats

because here's the thing.

I understand some
people out here are looking

and have goals for the jury.

I personally have goals beyond the jury.

I don't want to decide who's
gonna get my million dollars.

I want to be on the top three,

deciding where my million
dollars will be coming from,

from whoever will be voting for me.

I don't want to make the
jury. That's them suckers.

I want to make final three.

You, I, star are not a threat.

- Yes.
- Mitch-Mitch is a threat.

- I agree.
- Mitch is good.

- But you're not... now.
- I am not. I am not.

- I am not...
- I am not.

He has... me through twice.

I already knew that I
wanted to get Mitch out.

And I don't want to jinx it.

But Chrissy approached me,

and she hasn't not done what
she said she was going to do.

She voted for Bianca when she said

she was gonna vote for Bianca.

She voted for charity when she said

she was gonna vote for charity.

- Don't think he'll use the block a vote?
- No, no.

Even if he does, as long as
our names aren't down there.

That's true.

She's been a woman
of her word, and so I feel

a little bit more confident since

this strategy is coming from somebody

who has proven that
they're actually gonna

do what they say they will.

- I wouldn't do you dirty.
- No, no.

We're good, we're good, we're good.

I think things are
falling in place for Mitch.

The problem I have is I don't
one million percent trust sai.

She's chaos, she's-she's...
She's a pain in the butt,

you know, at camp, and
this, tribal council means a lot.

So it's really important

to get the right people
out before the jury,

and to get, like, the
right people on the jury.

I got her thinking that you
guys are gonna go Mitch.

Okay.

Yeah.

Is that because... a little birdie told me

you had a block the vote.

- Yes.
- Okay.

And if she doesn't have
a vote, she can't play

her shot in the dark.

I've been thinking about what to do

with my secret block a vote.

I think I'm going to use it

against sai tonight, and I hope this

builds trust with Joe.

At this point in the game,

I don't know who I can trust at all, Joe.

- Okay.
- I'm saying this

because I want to work
with you moving forward.

- Okay.
- Okay?

I think the safe move tonight

is sai because everyone wants sai out,

and we don't want her on the jury.

But the smartest game
play move would be Mitch.

He's honestly, probably, the
biggest threat in this game.

He knows how to do
individual challenges,

his social game, his story.

I mean, he's one of those
ones that sneaks in and wins it.

Chrissy, who do you
think they'll get rid of?

Well, if they're playing dumb, then yes.

But if they're playing smart,

they'd get rid of somebody
that was, like, scarier.

If they were smart, they go shauhin.

I think shauhin makes
the most sense because

I've been worried
about him since day one.

- Yeah.
- And shauhin, like...

Yeah.

Going into tribal council tonight,

I've heard my name,

and I've also heard shauhin's name, but

after having the conversations
with David and Kyle,

I'm hoping that it's gonna be shauhin

as opposed to me tonight.

Tonight, at least for
me, is about cashing in

on some trust that I've built between me,

Kyle, kamilla and David.

I get to put my trust in their hands,

and hopefully... I'm not a sucker.

Getting to the jury...
this is a pivotal moment.

The objective is to just
make it one more day,

and just make sure that
whatever name is said last

is not Mitch.

I have butted heads with a lot of people.

It does not scare me when
I see my name anymore.

I don't panic.

There's a lot of fallen soldiers,

and I'm not one of 'em.

What's up, Jeff?

Hey, Joe.

Good evening.

Good evening, Chrissy.

Let's start with the challenge.

Joe, you and David crushed a record.

It was a great performance,
an epic challenge,

and when I asked you what
drove you to last so long,

you said, "my kids."

And now with this jury question,

where the person voted
out will not make the jury,

are we at a point in the game

where you're really
starting to see the end

and remember why you're out here?

Yeah, Jeff, I think that, at this point,

you're missing home,

you're missing your
family, your loved ones,

and you look at the
numbers, and you can

kind of see the finish
line for the first time.

That's why tonight is
gonna be so interesting,

'cause the end is right there.

Star, what did you see

play out after the challenge?

You all go back to the old civa camp.

How'd that go?

We all go back to the old civa camp

and you just kind of basically have to see

where is everyone head,
what is everybody thinking

and, for the life of god, is it me?

Eva, that's the question. "Is it me?"

And there's so many ways to slice this.

Last tribal, we talked about relationships

and how they can become emotional.

Well, that can become an asset.

That can also be seen
as very threatening.

Yeah, definitely. All of us have

different types of
relationships with each other.

We've been on tribes

with different combinations of people.

There's people here that I only
met a couple days ago because

I'd never been on a tribe with them.

And it is really crazy how

a random rock draw can pull all that out.

So, Chrissy,

what do you do when
you get back to camp,

another new group, some
of whom you just met?

Well, we all said

we're all gonna talk to each other,

and it was no big, "hee, hee, hee.

This is a secret. I'm gonna
run off and talk to somebody."

Everybody knew that everybody

was gonna talk to each
other. And that's basically

what we did. We all, like,

just kept switching partners.

Like, what would you
call that... the tango,

- yeah.
- Or what kind of dance would that be?

We know I dance... this is it.

Club condo is the
same every night for me.

Sai, how would you
describe this vote in terms

of others? You've been to tribal a lot.

Yeah, you keep reminding me of that.

I was ready to tango.

I was really excited because

these are two people
that I hadn't spoken to,

and I was afraid it
would bite me in the butt

and be my detriment tonight,

but I felt like I had honest conversations.

I really did, and that's one
of the things that I look for

when I'm talking to people
is they're honest and genuine.

Chrissy, why are you smiling?

Sai and I have always had
a pretty good relationship

and I love her to death,
but I do find it funny

that people use the
word "honest" and "loyalty"

in this game, and we're playing survivor.

If you play honest, it's just not the game.

I don't think honest and loyal is gonna

win you a million dollars.
So, sooner or later,

we have to break this honest loyalty thing

and start going at each other.

But you know, Jeff,

everybody plays this game differently.

There are players that
have made it to the end

with a tight alliance that didn't get crazy

and lying and cheating and stealing.

It can happen.

But, to me, you got to

make moves and you
got to have that résumé

at the end of the game.

And if we're all honest
and loyal to each other,

who's gonna have the résumé?

We're just all gonna be
Kumbaya walking in there,

and the best guy with
the best story wins?

I don't like that, 'cause
guys like Joe, guys like David

are-are beasts. You know, they're...

And they got great
story. I want to give them

the million dollars right now.

So, the little guys like
me, the older person,

not so great in challenges... I
have to somehow find my way

and-and figure out
how I can get to the top,

but it's not gonna be
by loyal and honesty.

At some point... I'm not saying
right now... but at some point,

- it's gonna have to happen.
- Mitch,

and there's the rub. Chrissy was quick

to add, "I'm not saying tonight."

- Right.
- "At some point, but not right now.

But I will lie soon, but not today,"

is what I got out of that testament.

Yes, Jeff.

What's so hard is, at some point,

you've got to start making moves.

But sometimes

the best move to make is the smart one.

What did you notice this afternoon

with tribal on the line?

Well, the past two tribal councils,

I've been on the wrong side of the vote.

Like, I had zero clue

who was telling me the truth.

So, I want to show people
that they can trust me,

I'm going to do what I
said I was going to do,

and that's it.

There's two sides to look
at Mitch's argument, Joe.

One is that he's vulnerable.

He was on the wrong side of the vote.

He might not know
what's happening today.

Let's take him out. The other side is,

he was on the wrong side of the vote.

There's an opportunity.
He needs, as he said,

- to start over.
- Yeah, Jeff.

When somebody says,
"hey, you know what?"

"I had a rough tribal, and I'm trying

to get back on my
feet and move forward,"

I feel that that's a perfect opportunity

to build relationships,
because you never know

who you're gonna need or
who needs you and vice versa.

This game changes so quickly.

So I feel it's truly, more
of an asset to say, "hey",

"well, let's talk about that.

How do you want to move forward?"

And hopefully those games align.

And on that note, it is time to vote.

Chrissy, you're up.

All right.

I'll go tally the votes.

If anybody has an advantage

or an idol and you want to play it,

now would be the time to do so.

All right. I'll read the votes.

First vote:

Sai.

Sai. That's two votes sai.

Seventh person voted out of survivor 48:

Sai. That's three. That's enough.

Need to bring me your torch.

Thanks for the ride.

Glad you came out.

Sai, the tribe has spoken.

Bye, sai.

Bye. Good luck

- to everybody, seriously.
- Time for you to go.

Love you, sai.

Thank you.

Grab your torches. Head back to camp.

We'll bring in the next group.

I got voted out, but that's
probably because I'm a threat.

I think that they are
obsessed with me, first of all.

And these hoochies are lucky

that they got me out when they did.

If they let me get any
further in this game,

they would have been out of the game

as soon as I got the chance.

All right, let's start by talking

about the fundamental
difference between the first

tribal council tonight
and this tribal council,

which is obvious.

The person you vote out tonight
will be a member of the jury.

They will have a million-dollar vote.

So, kamilla, was that one
of the central topics today

when discussing who to vote out?

Yeah. Like, you want

to make sure that the
people who are sitting

on the jury are people
that are cool with you,

are people that respect the
way you played this game.

They are gonna be one
out of the nine people

who decide whether or not
you get that million dollars.

Then, shauhin, every player is looking

through their own lens

at that construction of the jury because

not all of you are gonna see
each other in the same way.

I'll be honest, I think the time

for planning, like, who's
gonna be on the jury

and who's gonna stay, and

I think that might be
a little tiny bit early.

Whereas right now, we still
are trying to figure out exactly

where the alliances are

because the longevity
of our game also requires

that we get to play with people that

we think we can trust, that
we think we can count on.

And in order to get to the thing

that we all want, which
is final tribal council,

we have to prove it tonight.

Cedrek, do you agree
with shauhin that right now

it's about firming up alliances and still

making sure "I have a
group that can go deeper"?

Well, it's like this, Jeff.

Game recognizes game.

Iron sharpens iron.

We've all seen the brilliant game play

of the people sitting around us,

and that undoubtedly, regardless
how much you say it's early,

it's ultimately about
respecting the great game play

that we're sitting next to.

Kyle, that sounds to me like

maybe tonight is an opportunity
to take out a great player,

not solidify an alliance.

Yeah, Jeff, I think tonight is about

the difference between
short-term versus long-term,

but it's still difficult to tell exactly

where those lines are, and
a lot of the conversations

that I've heard have
kind of talked about that.

You know, we want to solidify
something more solid long-term,

show that we can work
together in this game,

and I think that's
ultimately what this is about.

David, how about for you?

What did you see happening today

with the luxury of that necklace?

You know, you do feel like you
have power. You have safety.

You sort of run the vote, in a way.

And people are coming to you to wonder,

"what are you gonna do?
What are y... what is your move?"

And I think at this point in the game,

as long as you're playing with respect,

and you respect others, I
think, hopefully, whoever goes

on the jury today will respect
your game no matter what.

Shauhin, how was it
for you this afternoon?

Right now, in the position

that I'm in, if you show panic,

that might be the reason you go home,

because as soon as you
do that, they think, "all right,

well, then why don't you trust me?"

And so, instead,

you got to take a bunch of deep breaths

and close your eyes for a second,

open 'em back up, and it's back to work.

Mary, it's a little bit like

the ultimate trust fall.

Everybody says, "no,
no, no, we got you,"

and you won't know until
your head hits the ground

- yeah.
- That they were lying.

Last tribal,

each of these people did what
they said they were gonna do.

And so, yeah, it's a trust fall,

but I trusted everyone last
time and they caught me

and I caught them, so
maybe we can do it again.

But somebody will be voted out,

and it's clear it's gonna be a blindside

because all of you are
saying you trust each other.

So what's the message
for the person who's about

- to be blindsided?
- Yeah.

Is it cliché to say it's nothing personal?

I feel like,

with you out, my
alliances will be stronger.

David, how about for you?
What would you say, given

that you're telling everybody
"we can all trust each other"?

I would say that, under
different circumstances,

it would obviously be different, right?

If you grabbed a different-color rock,

you might be sticking
around for a very long time.

But some people here, you
know, they are from different tribes.

You know, they-they haven't
had the time to get to know

as many people here as others, right?

So they haven't had the time
to form those relationships

or earn that trust. You know, sometimes,

luck plays a factor in
survivor, and unfortunately,

- maybe that's all it is today.
- Shauhin,

- what do you read into that?
- I mean,

it's hard to tell what's
smoke and mirrors here

and what's just a mirror.

Like, where is the smoke?

Is it clearing and are you the
target when the smoke clears?

All right.

It is time to vote. Mary, you're up.

I'll go tally the votes.

If anybody has an advantage or an idol

and you want to play it, now
would be the time to do so.

All right, I'll read the votes.

Shauhin.

Next time on survivor...

Go for the head, man. Go for Joe.

This guy is the biggest
idiot on this beach.

That is the move.

I got another experience with survivor.

I got my torch snuffed by Jeff Probst,

which was surprising.

I had more game in me to play,

but being the first jury member

that's gonna mean I have some say

in who actually gets the ultimate prize.

It's still a great responsibility,

and, it's the one that I'm gonna probably

give a lot of thought to
over the next few days.
