Your skin's looking really good.

- Oh, thanks.
- I think it's, like,
the humidity and stuff.

I can tell
when somebody thinks I'm stupid.

Oh, man.

But the reality is, I'm a wolf,
baby. I'm ready to eat her.

Previously on Survivor...

I don't have a vote
until our tribe loses.

I can get my idol
and my vote back.

It's like, ♪ Ah! ♪

♪ Ah! ♪

I would bet money
that Rizo has an idol.

Okay.

She does.
Has she told any of you?

- No.
- No.

A war.

We vote out Jason,
it's going to be

an all-out war.

Sixth person voted out
of Survivor 49--

Jason.

- The tribe has spoken.
- They sure have.

Yeah. Good job.

Tonight we pulled off
another blindside.

We got both
original Hina members.

First Matt, now Jason.

This is definitely an Uli
versus Hina war right now.

The Matt shot
was a warning shot.

This is like a dagger.

I'm not trying to gas us up,

but we could be strongest five
in the game.

- Absolutely.
- Five strong

till the end of the game, hopefully.

We're hoping that we're
about to enter into the merge.

But if we do have to go
to another Tribal Council,

we'd be crazy
not to look at Sophi.

She's not
an original Uli member,

so she's kind of expendable,

which I feel bad for saying,
but that's the truth.

I have to protect my own.

I pray we merge tomorrow.

- I do, too.
- I know.

I can't believe
we made it this far.

- It's pretty good.
- I know.

Tribal couldn't have
gone any better, but, honestly,

Jawan's very lucky
that it wasn't him

because I love Jawan,

but he has been
driving me insane.

He's been using my bag
to put dirty sticks in.

He's listening into
my conversations, and he thinks

there's no way
I would ever go for him.

- I'm gonna go to bed.
- Sleep tight.

Good night. Good night.

- Jawan, we love you.
- Aw.

- Thank you.
- Yeah.

Love y'all.

Jawan really
doesn't have a clue,

but if we go
to Tribal Council again,

he's got to go.

Come on in!

Here they come-- Kele.

Kristina once again
leading the pack.

We're digging deep, Uncle J.

I don't doubt it.

Kele, getting your first look
at the new Hina tribe.

Jason voted out
at the last Tribal Council.

All right.

Let me just check in.

Alex, how we doing on day 11

of what even I will attest is

maybe the most difficult
first 11 days

simply due to the heat?

And it is crispy
once again today.

Yeah, Jeff,
I am beyond exhausted.

I'm normally the type who's
pepping up my entire office,

always have a smile on my face,
but I'm dragging today.

And this is after
we had a chicken-chicken dinner

last night.

You know,
winner, winner, chicken dinner.

And so, I mean,
never in my wildest dreams

would I have imagined yesterday
that I'd be killing a chicken.

But, I mean,
we were just that hungry.

- And we ate last night.
- All right.

So, Nate,
where are we in the game

- right now, 11 days in?
- I mean, look,

you have one tribe that I think
is doing pretty well,

or as well
as you can do out here,

and one tribe
that's struggling, you know?

And I know
all we're hoping for is a merge

or something to shake up
the game a little bit

because two or three more days
on our beach

with just the five of us,
I'm not sure

who's walking out of there.

So you're hoping
for a merge right now?

- Oh, baby.
- Yeah.

I got to say,
merging at 12 players

is a good number.

We've done it before.

And you could be looking

at a brand-new Survivor
Earn the Merge Challenge.

But the other thing about 12...

...is it's really fun

when you think about
redividing the tribes,

especially into three.

Like, you could have
four members on each tribe,

and given
that we have a challenge

that we built and designed
for four members on each tribe,

I think we're going
to stick with the plan.

Everybody drop your Buffs.

- Oh, my God.
- Oh, God.

- Oh, my God.
- Whoo!

The game is about to change.

There they are.

Your fate in the game

is right here in this tray.

I don't know
if I like that slow walk, Jeff.

I know. I'm really
enjoying this moment.

Uncle Jeff, stop talking.

Jawan wants me to stop talking.

All right.

Everybody open your Buffs

and find your new tribemates.

- Yeah, yellow.
- Yellow.
- Yellow.

- Three for three.
- It's red.

- Oh, no, it's red.
I can't even see...
- It's red.

Alex is now red.

- Shannon is blue.
- Blue.

If you're blue, go to this
little blue mat in front.

If you're red, in the middle,

yellow, on the side.

How are you? Oh, my God.

Wow, the game
just changed again.

Oh!

- So sorry.
- You all right? You all right?

- My knee. Yeah.
- How are you?

- Kristina.
- It's all right.

- Sorry.
- You're good. You're good.

Do you need to sit?

- No, I'm good.
- All right.

Let's look
at the new Kele tribe.

We have Steven, Shannon,
Sage and Jawan.

In the middle, wearing red, Uli.

We have Alex, Sophie, Nate

and Kristina.

Wearing yellow-- Hina.

We have MC, Sophi--

still swaying...

...Rizo and Savannah.

Nate, what does this mean
for the game?

You were expecting a merge.

It's not a merge.
It's another tribe switch.

I think by meeting new people,

it actually unlocks
different dynamics in the game

because you don't know
who's gonna hit it off.

And you don't know
who's gonna hate each other.

So it's scary because
just switching the tribes up

does sort of repopulate the game

and make it a whole new game,
to be quite honest.

Well, the thing about Survivor

that gets overlooked is...

You all good?

A big, big breath in.

Hey, Kristina, what's going on?

My whole body is...
My whole body is...

- It's okay.
- No. I just need some water.

Just take your time.
Take your time.

Hey, there's no rush.
There's no rush.

- Deep breaths, Kristina.
- Hey, Dr. Barry.

Can you just pop in?

Kristina,
this is not you asking.

This is just me
wanting to make sure.

Sorry.

All right?

Okay?

One, two, three, four.

Hey, Barry,

can you update me
on what's happening?

What are you working
with Kristina with now?

How you feeling, Kristina?

I feel better.

All right, I'll let you
get back to Kristina.

Kristina, we're going
to give you a moment

- and then we're going
to resume Survivor.
- Okay.

- Sounds good, Jeff.
- All right.
- Okay.

All right, Kristina,
you're back up on your feet.

Medical feels you're okay.

How do you feel?

It's just been a lot today,
Uncle J.

I really miss my kids.

I miss my husband.

And then it's like
everything just hits at once.

You ready to keep going?

- I will be.
- Okay.

All right, let's get
to your first reward challenge.

- Ah.
- Ooh.
- Hey.

Jeff, thank God.
Jeff, I need food, I need food.

- I need food.
- All right.

I need food. Food.

Now we're interested.

- More chicken.
- 11 days, Jeff.

Let's get to your first
challenge as new tribes.

Here's how it works.

On my go, you'll work together

to push a very heavy cart
along a bumpy track,

collecting sandbags
along the way.

When you reach
the first station,

one tribe member will go
up a ladder and use a pole

to knock off two wooden discs.

You'll add those sandbags
to your cart

and continue to the next stage,

where the same player
will use the same stick

and knock off
two more wooden discs.

Once you reach the finish,
you'll use one of those discs

to knock over
four bamboo targets.

First two tribes
to finish win reward.

Want to know
what you're playing for?

I sure do, Jeff.

Waiting for you back at camp
for the first-place group,

grilled cheese sandwiches.

Oh, God.

- Salty potato chips.
- Oh.

- Chips.
- And iced tea.

- Oh, my God.
- Thank you, God.

- Oh, my God.
- Second tribe to finish,

grilled cheese.

You don't get the chips,
you don't get the iced tea.

- Oh, my God. Grilled cheese.
- Not finished.

For the first tribe to finish,
and only the first tribe,

- you also get dessert...
- Ooh.

...in the form of

chocolate brownies.

Oh... my... God.

All right,
so you know the stakes.

Last tribe to finish, nothing

but another hot,
hungry afternoon back at camp.

All right, I'll give you
a minute to strategize,

then we'll get it on.
Here we go.

All right, here we go.

For reward.

Ooh, we got this.
Grilled cheese.

- Yes, we do.
- Chips.

Survivors ready.

Go!

New tribe, day 11.

Big reward on the line.

Nice, nice, nice.

There is a lot more hip in
the hop of everybody right now.

I like it. We got a new game.

Get back.

- You got it, you got it.
- Back, back, back. Okay.

You're good.
Get somebody up that ladder.

- You got to untie that pole.
- Let's go, Steven.

You got it, Steven.
You got it, Steven.

Once you have the pole free,

then you go up the ladder
and use that pole

to knock off
your two wooden discs.

Yes. Like that, like that.

Here goes Steven for Kele.

- You got it?
- Alex is up for Uli,

making fast work
of that first disc.

MC up first for Hina.

Yeah, just like that, yup.

MC's got one for Hina.

Alex working on that second.

Steven's still working
on the first for Kele.

Oh, yeah.
Come on, bro. You got this.

Steven swinging wildly,
can't get that first.

- You're good, bro.
- Alex almost
has his second.

And he does for Uli.

Get down. Load the sandbags.

Those sandbags are gonna make
that cart heavier.

Go. Go and hit that bottom.

- You got it, bro.
- Hit that bottom.

- There you go.
- There's the first

for Steven for Kele.

- You got it.
- Bottom, top.
There you go.

- Money. Money. Get down.
- You're good, Hina.

Get down.

Let me get in the middle.
Let me get in the middle.

Uli has their sandbags.

Three, two, one. Go! Aah!

- All right.
- Okay.

- Do a running jump.
Do a running.
- Wait. One, two, three.

It is Uli in the lead.

Here comes Hina.

Hey, guys, let's go!

Oh, my God!

Almost there, Steven. Let's go!

Let's go!

Steven has the second disc
for Kele.

Start loading those bags.

- Stop.
- Stop. Stop.

You're good.
Same person. It's Alex.

- Great job, you guys.
- We got time.

It is Uli, then Hina,

then Kele.

Let's go! Let's go!
Let's go!

Another big effort
from Kele right now.

Good job, let's keep it
nice and straight.

It's Alex back up.

Come on, Alex, almost done,
babe, you got it.

Alex with one, one disc left.

You got it, girl. You got it.

- Yeah!
- MC has one for Hina.

- Nice, Steven!
- Let's go, Steven!

Steven much faster this time.

We're right back in it, bro.

It is Steven, Alex and MC

all working
on that second and final disc.

Let's go, Steven!

It is now Steven
in the lead for Kele.

Come on, Steven. Let's go.

Steven's got it.

You're good. Grab the disc.

What a comeback
in this second stage.

You got this, MC.

- Nice.
- MC has

their second disc.
You're good.

- Good?
- Kele was in dead last.

They are now in first.

Steven just misses.

Got to chase it down
and fire again.

- Take a breath. You're...
- Take your time.

Breathe. Breathe.

Rizo just misses.

Alex still working
on that second disc.

All right, come on, Alex.

You got two big rewards.

Yeah, Steven!

Steven knocks off the first
for Kele.

Rizo knocks one off for Hina.

You got it, babe!
Take your time. You got this.

- You have it. Yes.
- Go! Let's go!

Rizo with a second hit.
Now it's Hina in the lead.

Dude, you're a freaking athlete.

Rizo knocks
over the third target.

- Okay. You got it.
You're so close.
- Go.

Alex has his second disc
for Uli.

- Okay, go, go, go.
- Sorry, guys.

Let's go, Uli!

- Oh, let's go!
- Steven has the second
for Kele.

- I love you, Steven. Let's go!
- Let's go, bro.

Come on, come on. You got it.

Rizo down to one target left.

- Grilled cheese. Chips.
- You're an athlete.

Rizo wins it for Hina!

We're looking for second place.

Oh, my God.

Oh, my God.

Alex.

And Jawan is now in.

Question is,
who will get the grilled cheese?

And who will go back
to camp with nothing?

So close.

Hell yeah!

Jawan, with a nice toss,
knocks off the third.

Nate with the first for Uli.

Uli has a lot
of ground to catch up.

They've got
to get a target quickly.

- All you, baby.
- Patience.

Jawan can win it right here.

So close. One more time, buddy.

- Want me to go?
- Yeah.

Alex, you got this.

Good job.
That's the second for Uli.

Great work.
Hey, great work, dude.

Here comes Steven
trying to win it for Kele.

No. Uli's got a shot.

- Alex, you're doing so good.
- Alex needs

to get that third target
to make this a showdown.

- Yes!
- And he does.

- We got a showdown now.
- Come on, Alex.

Alex gets back first.

Can he win it?
No, just misses.

- Good, bro.
- Steven to win.

Superhero.

No.

- All good, bro.
- Fatigue now

starting to set in.

Here goes Alex again
for the win.

And he's got it.

Uli pulls it out,

leaving Kele empty-handed

in the first reward challenge
of the season.

That was amazing.

I'm sorry, guys.

It's no joke, man.

Welcome to Survivor.

Wow.

Huge effort by everybody.

Let's start with Hina.

Sophi, your first meal
waiting for you back at camp.

- Grilled cheese...
- Thank you guys.

...salty potato chips,

- iced tea and brownies.
- Wow.

Uli, waiting
for you back at camp--

- grilled cheese sandwiches.
- Yeah.

All right, Hina, Uli,
grab your stuff, head out.

Enjoy your new tribes and
your grilled cheese sandwiches.

- Oh, thank you, Alex.
- Of course.

- Oh, my God.
- Wow.

- Oh, wow.
- All right, Kele,

I got nothing for you.
Grab your stuff.

Head back to your new camp,
new tribe, new game.

I'm going back to Kele.

Not sad about it
'cause of the chicken.

The problem is, don't love
going there with Shannon.

Shannon's already
thrown out my name.

She simply cannot be trusted, so

this could either work out
really great for me

or it could work out
really badly.

Oh, this beach is so
much better than the other one.

- I told you guys.
- I'm glad to be here.

- Guys.
- Oh, my God.
- Whoo!

This is amazing.
Oh, my God, I see the chips.

Oh, my God.

- Um, let's dig in, y'all.
- Yeah.

Y'all, I'm so excited. Carbs.

- Your first meal.
- Oh, my God. Thank you, God.

Oh, my goodness.
How does it feel

to have your first bite
of real food?

You don't understand, MC.
Like, this is...

I feel like this is, is a dream.

Oh, my God. I feel like
a different person right now.

Without food for 11 days,
my brain just didn't work.

And now

it's reenergized.

Now it's charged up
and ready to go,

and I'm ready
to play this game, baby.

- Oh, my goodness.
- It's so good.

I have transcended.

Being in a tribe of four now,

there really is nowhere to hide.

But I ended up

with two
of my other closest allies--

Rizo and Savannah.

So I genuinely feel safe
in this situation right now.

I think MC is in trouble.

I know, like, y'all have been,
like, bonding with each other,

so I'm kind of,
like, the odd one out.

Like, y'all were here
at Hina, but

- we can still be besties.
- Yeah, that's true.

I think this is the most
dangerous position that I have

been in since
I've started this game.

All three of these people

have already been
on a tribe, bonding.

Then, on top of that,

my current tribe doesn't know

that I have
a Beware Advantage, and

I have no vote right now.
I have no vote

until I find that idol.

And it's a scary place to be.

But if I find the idol,
then I'm 100% safe.

You know,
once that merge hits, like...

It's going to be cinema.

Yeah. It's going to be a movie.

- Yeah.
- Right?

If we lose,

I have to find that idol,
no matter what it takes.

But Rizo has no idea that

I know that he has
a Beware Advantage or an idol.

I'm hoping to use that
to my advantage,

create some bonds with him.

I need to do whatever it takes

to get me to that next step,
which is the merge.

I wanted to pull you aside

- away from them.
- Yeah. Yeah.

I mean, I think Savannah knows,

but I wasn't sure about Sophi.

- Okay.
- But Sage did tell us

that you have an idol.

So I feel like it's important
for us to stick together.

- Yeah.
- 'Cause, like,
everyone knows now.

- Yeah. Which is...
- Just want to let you know.

- I expected it.
- Yeah.

But I actually appreciate you
telling me that, by the way.

- Yeah. Sure, yeah.
- Um, I'm a very open book.

MC hit me
with the big breaking news that

literally everybody in the game

knows I have an idol.

I am not naive.

I expected this to happen
because Survivor is like

a middle school lunch table
when they are gossiping

about who's the hottest girl
or who's the hottest guy.

Like, that information's going
to spread.

I will say, I don't know
who from your tribe has it.

- So I'm assuming
nobody found it, then.
- Okay.

The fact that everyone knows

I have an idol does scare me.

But on the other side
of the coin, it does not.

Because a man
with a lot of power

does strike fear in people.

And I want to instill

fear in these people's hearts.

-ALEX: Grilled cheese.
- Our grilled cheeses.

I don't know what my last piece
of bread was, yo.

- And a little cheddar.
- Is it even cheddar?

- What is this?
- I don't... I don't know.

I don't even care.

Survivor is harder
than it looks.

You really don't get sleep,
you don't eat.

And then Uncle J said,
"Drop the Buffs."

I start shaking, and then

everything really
just goes black.

That's never happened before.
I think it was just the heat.

It was

all these different emotions

that I had about missing the
family and, like, anticipation

of a tribe swap.

- Are you done?
- Yeah, I'm done.

I eat... I eat so fast.

But this new Uli tribe
worked out perfectly.

I have Sophie, who's been with
me since the very beginning.

There's Alex, who I made
an amazing connection with.

And then there's Nate,
who I haven't had a chance

to meet yet.

So I'm ready to rock and roll,
and it's all thumbs up.

I am Nate. I am 47 years old.

And I am currently
a stay-at-home dad.

- That's awesome.
- Oh, cool.

I have two young girls.

All of a sudden, on a game

that I've been pretty much

at the top of
for the first 11 days,

I am now on the bottom
of this new tribe.

And it really seems
like I'm at risk.

This couldn't have gone worse
for me.

I have about a day

to really ingratiate myself
to these new people

so they're not going
to vote me out.

How much does Tribal suck?

They were just two
very different Tribals.

- Yeah.
- Because one was--

to be quite honest--
an easy decision.

An easy decision.

Was that Matt? Yeah.

And honestly, I found out

he was targeting me, and I was
like, "Well, that's over."

I let them know
that Matt was an easy vote.

And that says,

"Hey, Nate's being honest."

And I wanted
to establish a baseline

of "I'm a truthful narrator"
because my next story was a lie.

Last night was a tough vote...

- Yeah.
- ...'cause I really
do like Jason.

- Yeah, he's a good guy.
- Yeah.

And we kind of hit it off,

and we were trying
to work together.

I was bummed, but...

My story to them is

that I was working
with Jason because,

gosh, he's just the coolest guy.

The truth is,
I love my former Uli members.

We unanimously voted Jason out
of the game.

But I have to show this tribe
I am not Uli strong,

that I am willing
to work with Hina,

and I think they bought it.

Who is he working with?

I don't understand
who he's working with.

- I know.
- It just doesn't add up.

- It doesn't add up.
- Right.

It could all be lies

that Nate was going
to vote with Jason.

- Yeah.
- He is not going

to flip on red until he has to.

- Yeah.
- Yeah.

I think Nate is
telling me what I want to hear,

feeding me all sorts of lies,

because the truth is,

he's not ready
to turn on old Uli.

For all I know,
they are all best friends,

he loves all of them.

And I don't trust him.

This is old Hina versus old Uli.

And if we end up at Tribal,
Nate is going home.

- Welcome... to Kele.
- Ah.

You know, it's actually
better than I thought.

- Yeah?
- I was expecting, like...

It's big.

- No.
- It's not that bad.

- Oh.
- Yeah.

Yeah, we need to try.

Oh, my gosh. Already.
What's up, bud?

Fast as lightning.

First order of business
is corralling chickens.

It was chickens pandemonium, dude.

It was a jailbreak.
It was Chicken Run.

They were all out.
All the chickens were loose.

- He's over there.
He's over there.
- Here he is. Here he is.

Okay, you got him? Great.

I snatched that chicken
so fast, and

if I could sacrifice one chicken
for an alliance,

I would do that in a heartbeat.

Before the swap,
I felt really solid, and now,

if you're doing the math,
you see three red, one yellow.

I'm the easy person out.

I think we handled that
all really well. Thank you.

- I think we did, too.
- Yeah, yeah. Yeah.
- Teamwork, guys.

So the odds just
dramatically shifted against me.

I've known Shannon and Sage,
but Jawan is someone

I've been dying to meet,
and I was ecstatic to finally

just have a one-on-one,
genuine connection with him.

You're the person that

I've been looking forward
to meeting the most.

I'm kind of a cheesy dude,

- so just be warned.
- I'm the same way.

I tell a lot of dad jokes,
so I'm cheesy, too, man.

- I love dad jokes.
- I hope
you're not lactose intolerant.

Ah! I love it.

All right, I got one.

What do you call a bear
without teeth?

- A gummy bear?
- Damn.

That was good.

How did the, um,
hamburger introduce his wife?

"Meet Patty."

Ah. That's good.

First conversation
with Jawan went brilliantly.

He just genuinely seems
like a good dude.

I think they're going to be
a lot of nerdy conversations.

Yeah, for sure.

I'm a Marvel nerd.
Are you into Marvel stuff

- or not really?
- I'm super into Marvel.

- I...
- Ah, let's go.

- Yeah.
- Three, two, one.

- Nice. Whoo!
- Oh...!

- Oh, snap. Let's go, brother.
- Let's go, bruh!

- Let's go. Jump.
- Go.

- Ooh.
- Jump, chest bump.
Wait. One, two, three.

We vibe,
we get along really well.

And you know who needs

a number?

This guy.

Come on in, buddy.

- Yeah.
- Like, that's...

Is that
how you're still feeling?

Do you still feel like,
you know,

us three are pretty...
you know?

- I definitely think so,
yeah, you know.
- Okay, cool.

- I got you.
- I think it's smart
to even just, you know...

- And make him feel
comfortable, too...
- Yeah. That's why...

Yeah, hopefully
it doesn't spook you.

I'm just trying to, like,
hang out with him one-on-one.

No, just keep playing
that entirely.

I really like Steven.

I feel like me and him
are cut from the same cloth.

But Steven is on the outs

because he's an original
Hina member.

And it sucks,
but I'm in a great spot.

The Uli tribe has the majority
to the Hina members.

There is this war,
and we're winning.

So it's an easy vote--
us three versus Steven.

There's a crab right there.

You see a crab?

Oh, my God.

Oh, I wish I could do it.

I wish I could do it.

- Oh, my God. Oh, my God.
- You got it.

- You did it?
- Yeah.

- Oh, my gosh.
- Oh, my God.

- That was epic.
- That's insane.

Survivor is just
this insane experience.

You got to do
what you got to do.

- Got to do what you got to do.
- That was epic.

Going, looking for fish,

trying to catch crabs--
most people

will never have an opportunity
to do something like Survivor.

I'm taking advantage
of this beautiful

tropical wildlife
we have here in Fiji.

So much
of my life back home is work.

This has just been
an out-of-body experience.

This is going to work wonders
for my life back home.

And I know it's going to impact

the rest of my life.

I do feel good about us.

And obviously,
I really would love us to

not have to go to a Tribal,
but, like,

if we lose,

the reality of the situation is,
it's got to be Nate.

I think
if I get him comfortable enough?

- Yeah.
- Yeah.

And maybe you can, like,
bro it out

- a little bit and get him
comfortable enough.
- Right.

So that he doesn't
play his Shot in the Dark.

I just think
that's the easiest way.

Kristina's saying, in order to
make sure that Nate feels safe,

she's going to throw my name out
as the decoy.

I'm livid, I'm scared.

And it just kind of confirms,

Kristina views me
as an expendable number.

I'm tired of being at the bottom
of all these alliances.

- Like, very early on in Hina...
- Mm-hmm.

- ...Kristina had thrown
my name out.
- Right.

Alex has nobody.

His closest person out here
is the other Sophi.

I could be his new Sophie.

Screw other Sophi.
I am the new Sophie.

When Kristina's like,

"Sophie, we'll use your name
as the decoy,"

like, that obviously gave me,

- like, a huge amount of pause.
- Right.

And because of that, like,

I'm kind of worried that she's
going to use this to get me out.

Is there a chance that you would
want Kristina to go home now?

Yeah, I'll take Kristina out.

Like, I think

- us going forward together...
- Yeah.

...would be stronger
for both of us.

- I think so, too. Yeah.
- Yeah.

- The Alex and Sophie Show.
- Yeah.

I genuinely do want
to work with Sophie.

She's a tough cookie,
and I respect that.

We need to make sure
that it's us

who aren't going home, and so,

unfortunately,
Kristina and Nate's necks are

on the line.

I missed you, too, dude.
- I missed you so much.

I just have so much faith

in God, and I believe
God put us here

on this tribe together
for a reason.

Do I feel more confident

with this tribe than I did
in the last Kele tribe?

Absolutely.

I'm decently connected with
a good amount of people here,

so I am

the luckiest person because
I believe I'm lucky, you know?

I think
I have lucky girl syndrome.

I believe
good things happen to me.

But, yo, I think us three,
lock, lock, lock.

- Yeah. Yeah.
- Absolutely.

If we lose, we kind of

- know what direction
we want to go with.
- Yeah.

- But either way...
- We're sitting good.

Totally.

There's just definitely
going to be

some work to do and
some communication to be had.

How was the little Uli reunion?
- Good.

I want to make sure
that I'm good

strategically with everyone,
so I have

full 100% control
of this situation.

I will say it is,
like, a little bit scary

- to be the one...
- Hey, I get it.

- One odd person out.
- I get it.

Steven has to trust me a lot

because when you look
at the tribe,

it seems like
he's the obvious one to go.

But Steven's someone
I really want

to work with moving forward.

- I trust you 100%.
- Cool.

Yeah. Do you trust me?

- I trust you as well, yes.
- Okay.

Okay.

Reconnecting with Sage
is super important

because, you know, I love Sage

and she feels like someone
I can trust,

but we haven't proven that
to each other yet.

I'm so sorry,
this past couple days

I feel like
you and I just, like...

It was impossible
for us to talk this way.

I don't think
it was smart for us to talk.

- Yeah. Okay. I'm glad
you felt the same way.
- Yeah.

I feel like I was able
to actually hang out with Sage,

actually have my friendship
with Sage,

which felt really good because
I was kind of toning that down

when it felt like
it was me and her on the bottom.

I know. It's weird, right?

Yeah, yeah.

Like, that's
really beautiful to me.

- You know?
- It-- Yeah.

And I think it's for a reason.

And, uh...

I think-- Yeah, I think
we're playing it really...

I think we're playing it good.

Shannon's been
throwing me under the bus

for the last couple days.

And now, 24 hours later,

we have Shannon's
new turned leaf of,

"I want to,
I want to work with you, Sage.

There's a reason
we keep ending up together."

Ah, that'd be nice.

And the reality is,

is that
Shannon didn't have my back.

Shannon's been playing
a dirty game.

Me and you, obviously,

were at the bottom
of that last tribe.

- Yeah.
- Now we're not.

I just want you to know
how excited I am

to prove that me and you
are on the same page.

Same. Yeah. Okay.

- I'd hug you if I could,
but I think I would stab you.
- Yeah. Yeah.

She is very snaky.

She's very disingenuous

but tries to lead
with this front of authenticity.

And I'm
the only one that sees it.

You want to know
one of my fun facts?

I remember being in the womb.

What?

I was conceptualizing
sight and vision in the womb.

- That is freaking crazy.
- Yeah.

She shot herself in the foot
at this point,

and I-I think that she'll be
familiar with the term "karma,"

given her spiritual practices,

and it feels like
that's on the horizon.

For now,
I know that this is the time

where I'm gonna have
to put the schmooze on.

I hate the schmooze,

but you got to do it
in a game like Survivor.

Mwah. I'll see you down there.

Mwah.

Mwah.

Okay, sweetie.
See you down there.

Bye.

Yo, you want
to try catching something?

I might change,
and I'll try the spear.

Cool.

I wouldn't mind trying
to have my Ozzy moment.

We'll see what happens.

Cool beans. Let's do it...

If it's too scary,
though, I'm not gonna do it.

I'm a good-- I mean, yeah.

I think.

Growing up watching Survivor,

there's so many Survivor legends

that go out into the Fijian sea
and catch fish.

Here's the flippers.

If I come back with a fish,
I'm gonna feel like Poseidon.

With all this fishing gear,
I feel like the god of water.

I feel like

someone that can go out there

and just slay all of these fish.

I call myself a god.

Let me see
if I can live up to it.

♪ Waddle, waddle, waddle,
waddle, waddle, waddle. ♪

All right,
this is actually hilarious.

Ugh. How do
you walk in this thing?

These things, these things
are the devil's shoes.

Putting these things on
not only hurt my feet...

Ow.

...I don't know how
people walk in these things.

I'm like a toddler
learning how to walk.

I feel like
I'm watching Survivor right now.

Water. A lot.

Oh. I'm kind of good at this.

I'm so close to water,
and I'm like, "I'm gonna do it.

I'm gonna swim like Aquaman."

Ah!

Are you okay?

Nobody saw this.

I'll be okay.

But I don't even think I make it
20 feet past the shoreline,

and I'm just like, "Screw this.

I'm just gonna weep for
how unsuccessful this try was."

Man, that thing
tasted like garbage.

No, no, no...

Okay.

Come here.
Why do you think it's out there?

Intuition.

So I'm gonna
go check all of tree mail.

Okay, let's go.
Put on your shoes.

So, here's what
I know right now on Hina.

We have myself, Rizo and Sophi
in a three-way alliance.

The only thing that could get

in the way of us
holding all the power here

is if MC finds some sort
of advantage or idol.

And after a tribe swap,
who knows?

Anything could be out here.

So maybe we check
by that broken tree?

There are so many spiders.

I have walked into so many webs.

After the switch, there could be

other advantages
on all of the beaches right now.

You never know.

But looking for an advantage
is my worst nightmare.

There's spiderwebs everywhere.

There's animals and lizards
I've never seen in my life.

Dude, I'm so scared

of getting a spider on me.

I mean, there's already been
one snake bite

in this game. I don't need
another one out here.

So I'm being extra careful...

...looking through trees,

poking through holes,
and finally

I see, within the crack
of this enormous tree,

is this little advantage.

I found something on Survivor.
Are you kidding me?

I put it in my underwear

because I don't want
to tell Savannah and Rizo

that I found this. Even though

they're my allies right now,

who knows what they'll be for me
in a couple of days?

So, the Knowledge Is Power
means that,

at a Tribal Council,

I can basically
ask any single player

in this game

if they have an advantage
or if they have an idol.

And if they do, it becomes mine.

I kind of know what to look for,
and I didn't see anything, so...

Yeah, he's an expert at looking.

- Yeah.
- Right now

I do know who has the idol,
and it's Rizo.

But it's also a little difficult
because he's an ally of mine.

But who's to say
I'm not gonna find out

who else has an idol
on the other beaches?

I seem to have
that little superpower,

where people like
to tell me things.

So I feel
kind of great right now.

You know, I feel powerful.

Come on in!

And there's that smile.
She's back.

Hey, Uncle J.

All right, shall we get
to today's immunity challenge?

- Let's do it.
- Yeah.

First things first, Sage,
got to take it back.

- Goodbye.
- Thank you.

Once again,
immunity is back up for grabs.

For today's challenge,
you're gonna race up and over

a hinged cargo net.

You'll then move
a pile of heavy sandbags...

...where one player will climb
to the top of those sandbags

to retrieve a bag
containing sticks and string.

Then another tribe member
will use those sticks and string

to build a pole long enough
to retrieve a key.

That key will release a ball.

The two remaining tribe members
will work together

to maneuver that ball
through a table maze.

The first two tribes

- to finish
- Okay.

are safe from the vote.

You're not going home.

Losers, Tribal Council,

where somebody will be
the seventh person

voted out of Survivor 49.

And as a penalty for losing,
I will keep your flint.

Hina, you are
working to earn yours back.

With tribes
of only four players,

Tribal Council
should be terrifying right now.

Whatever you have in the tank,
you need it right now.

Give you a minute to strategize.
We'll get it on.

Here we go.

All right, here we go.

For immunity. Survivors ready?

Go!

First, you got to get
up and over that cargo net.

It's got a hinge.

So it's gonna flip
at a certain point

and send you tumbling.

Go!

Next step is move
all the sandbags

from one platform to another.

- You're gonna use those to help
- Nice! You got it?

a tribe member climb up on them

to retrieve
your sticks and strings.

Go, drop it, go.
Go get another one.

So you are
building a staircase...

On top, on top.

...using those sandbags.

That's it.

Uli really stacking them.

Hina just
throwing their sandbags.

You got it.

Kele somewhere in between.

What do you think?
I don't want her to fall.

MC is up for Hina.

She doesn't need much.

Good job, MC.

You got it, girl. Don't worry.

Maybe I try this.

Here goes Alex.

All right, come on, Alex.

- Oh.
- Uli's stack drops.

They got to go back in.

You got it?

PROBST
Shannon trying for Kele.

Their stack falls.

They've got to restack.

Nice, girl. You got it.

Let's go.

MC has it for Hina.

Hina in the lead.

You go, you got it, girl.

Start untying that bag.

Gonna be Sophi
building that pole for Hina.

Yes, Sophi. Great job.

Alex working
on those knots for Uli.

Alex takes a big fall,

does not have the bag.

Shannon just barely

able to reach those knots.

- I got it!
- Shannon has it

for Kele. Hands off to Steven.

Okay, let's go.

Alex has it for Uli.

It's gonna be Kristina
building the pole for Uli.

Steven building
the pole for Kele.

Let's go, Steven!

You got this, Kristina.

You have to build a pole that
is long enough and strong enough

to get that key
and get it back to you.

- This is just
like tying your kid's hair.
- ...

Yeah.
... it's the wrong way.

- It's okay. It's okay.
- Take your time.
- Take your time.

Calm down. We've got time.

Tribes of four, so small.

Nowhere to hide.

- All right. Get on the mat.
- Here goes Sophi.

- Oh, that's beautiful.
- You got it. There you go.
You got it, girl.

Will it be enough?

- You can do a little.
- Can't get off

- that platform.
Sophi a little short.
- You're good.

- How many does she have?
How many does she have?
- Two, three,

- four. She has five.
- Five.

We're in a great spot, bro.

It's gonna
come down to that puzzle.

Sophi reaching again,
getting closer.

Can she hook it?

- Yeah, Soph.
- Calm, calm.

Sophi very close.

She has the key.

She's got the ring.

- Will it stay on?
- Yeah, Sophi's on fire!

- She's on fire, Jeff!
- Oh, my God.

- That's how
you do it right there.
- Drop it, drop it, drop, it,

- drop it...
- Yeah!

She's got it.

- Head on, Hina.
- Let's go, baby.

- Whoo!
- Sophi with a nice job.

Here we go, Sophi.

Two people now on the maze.

Gonna be Rizo and Savannah.

Wow, Hina with a big lead now.

Kristina, you got it.

Kristina and Steven
still working.

Rizo has the ball for Hina.

Maneuvering that ball
through that maze,

trying to land it
in the center hole.

Steven now has a long pole.

He's gonna stick it out now
to see if he can get it.

Steven reaching out. Very close.

Nice and slow.

That pole is holding strong.

Steven has the ring.

He's got the key.

And Kele's good.

- Head on to the maze.
- Let's go, bro,

let's go, bro, let's go, bro.

It's now Kristina
feeling the pressure.

That stick is not gonna hold.

It's already falling apart.

You got to go back.
You got to choke...

- Need one more?
- Yeah, uh...

Yeah.

Gonna be Jawan and Sage
for Kele.

- It's Savannah and Rizo
- Careful. Careful.

for Hina.

This is all about
talking to each other.

So we just got
to get through and go up.

"Little more you,
little less me.

Hang on tight.
Let's think through this."

Another drop from Hina.

I'm gonna try
to hook it on that corner.

Every time it drops,
you got to restart,

but you're learning.

Guys, I'm so sorry.

Breathe, Kristina.
You're fine. You're fine.

Kristina's still working
on her pole.

Uli in dead last.

Try-- Tighten the front.

Tighten the front.

Kristina, literally,
just launching her pole,

hoping to hook it.

- We both pull it. Okay.
- It's me, it's me, it's me.

Savannah and Rizo
making a little bit of progress.

- Okay.
- Okay, good.

Jawan and Sage working.

- Pull down. Pull down.
- Oh.

We're cool. That was nice.

Kristina strengthening it again.

One of the great things
about Survivor,

you will find yourself in
a spot in which you cannot hide.

Today is that day.

Kristina giving it another go.

Is this enough?

You got this.

- Yeah.
- There we go.
Pull it back.

- You got to pull it back.
- Kristina has the key,

but you got
to get it with the pole.

There you go.

- There you go, baby.
- Okay.

There we go.

- Kristina's got it.
Uli can move on now.
- Okay.

Uli trying
to make up a lot of time

that they lost
during the course.

It seems an impossible comeback,

but stranger things
have happened.

How fast can Sophie and Nate
figure out how this maze works?

Can they gain
on the learning curve of time

that Hina and Kele have had?

- Oh, okay.
- Oh, my God.

- Hey, hey, that's okay.
- Oh, ah.

- Okay, we're getting there.
- That was right.

Good. Okay.

Nice. Level.

Jawan and Sage

- making nice work on this.
- Nope, nope, nope.

- Yeah, beautiful. Good job.
- Right there? Okay.

Yep. We're about
to get to the center.

Great communication
by Savannah and Rizo.

We have to go this way.

Yes.

If you're not
in sync with your partner,

this is gonna
be a tough one to finish.

- And we're gonna go...
- If you are in sync,

- you can learn it quickly.
- ...down.

- Good. Good.
- Good, good, good.

All right. Let's do it.
Come on, baby.

- All right.
- All right...

Jawan and Sage
have been slow and steady.

And it is paying off.

Great patience, loves.

Great patience.

Hina getting closer and closer.

No, drop, drop, drop, drop.

All right, we're right there.

Okay, we're good. Yup.

Hina inside
the inner circle now.

They are very close.

Tiny little movements
to get that ball

- in that center hole.
- Take your time.

- Yeah, I know.
- Secure immunity.

This is me. This is all me.

They are three inches away.

You got it.
This is you. This is you.

Like a putt
to win the Masters.

Can they sink it?

- They've got it.
Hina wins immunity.
- I'm proud of you.

- I'm proud of you.
- We did it.

We're looking for one more.

- Oh, God.
- Hina is safe tonight.

Will it be Uli or Kele
going to Tribal Council?

- You guys all killed it.
That's what I'm talking about.
- You-you guys...

Now we need
to go here to here, right?

Jawan and Sage,

they're getting closer to that
inner circle and immunity.

Okay. It's okay. It's okay.

- Sorry. I got scared.
I got scared.
- Just, uh... just-just...

- Yeah, just take a deep breath.
- I got scared.

Nate and Sophie
getting a little progress.

Ah. Oh...

- Stay, stay, stay.
- Okay. Okay, stay.

- Nate's making big moves.
- Whoo!

- Oh, baby.
- Big swings.

- Can they pull off the comeback?
- Now you pull up. Uh, uh...

You guys got it.

Now Jawan and Sage

have to feel the pressure.

Right. Okay.

It's okay. It's okay.

Kele very close

to that inner circle.

Trying to get through
that tiny little chamber,

that little passageway.

Right. Okay. It's okay.

- It's all right. We're good.
- It's okay.

And with all that progress,
Kele drops.

They are starting over.

- It's okay. It's okay.
- It's that freaking hole.

- Whoo. Here we go, baby.
- Here we go.

It would be
a gigantic comeback for Uli.

Sophie and Nate
have done an amazing job

making up a ton of lost time.

Slow, slow,
slow, slow, slow, slow, slow.

- Ooh, ooh.
- It's okay. Oh.

Oh, oh. Okay, uh... Oh, oh.

Oh, oh, oh.

- Oh, my bad.
- And Kele drops again.

It is now Sophie and Nate's
to win right here.

Uli is now in the inner circle.

Very close
to victory and security.

You a little more.

Little more.
Little me, little me, little me.

Little you, little you.

- And they have it!
- Yeah!

Uli pulls it out.

Immunity for Uli.

Whoo, baby!

Sending Kele to Tribal Council,

where Shannon, Steven,
Jawan or Sage

will be the seventh person
voted out of Survivor 49.

Wow.

All right, Hina, congratulations.

- Immunity and you get
your flint back.
- Yeah.

- Thank you, Jeff.
- You got it, Rizo.

- Well-earned.
- Thank you, Jeff.

Everyone touch. Everyone touch.

Uli, what a come from behind.

Huge victory.

Sophie and Nate.

Kristina didn't give up.

Hina, Uli, nobody
going home from your tribe.

Grab your stuff, head out.

No Tribal Council tonight.

Good luck.

Steven, that little moment
right there.

What is that?

For three out of the four of us,

we have not yet
even been to Tribal.

I'm scared.

I'm feeling it.
I'm feeling the exhaustion.

It's hard.

I know I'm, like,
Mr. Positive out here,

but it's-it's brutal.

Kele, all you can give
is all you got.

Unfortunately, sometimes
all you got is not enough.

That's the case.
Tribal Council tonight.

Somebody will be the seventh
person voted out of Survivor 49.

And as a penalty for losing,

it's gonna get worse,
'cause I'm taking your flint.

Do you have to?

I do. Sorry for you.
This is mine.

Have a chance to earn it back,
but for now, no flint.

Grab your stuff, head out.
See you tonight at Tribal.

Going to Tribal,
things look pretty bad.

I'm the one yellow member
in a sea of red.

It's terrifying--

whether my game's
gonna continue launching

on a very awesome trajectory

or if it's gonna burn up

before it even
lifts off the launchpad.

It is another
sweltering hot day in Fiji,

which, if you're on vacation,
is awesome.

But playing Survivor--
that's a whole nother story.

If that sparks your fire,
apply to be on Survivor.

All right, guys.

-SHANNON: Oh, man.
- Can I just get

-a cheesy hug real quick?
- Yeah.

- Totally. It's okay.
- I'm so sorry.

- Dude,
no worries, y'all.
- Yeah.

- We were right there, too.
- Hey, like,

you were kind to each other.

- You kept communicating, so...
- Yeah.

- I know it might be
a little crazy and wild tonight.
- Yeah.

- I just want to say,
- Yeah.

- I love you guys.
- I love you, too.
- I love you, too.

We lost. We lost
at the challenge.

Uh, I do think Jawan
maybe got a little anxious

and fumbled the bag,
didn't get the W.

But I am mentally ready to face

my first Tribal at day 12.

I do feel nervous, but, like,

I'm going to Tribal Council,
like, on Survivor.

Like, that's also really cool
and a dream come true.

Oh, yeah.

I think it was just
meant to happen

- that we would
come back together.
- Yeah. Uh, totally.

So I'm locked with you and Sage.

- Okay.
- It's just,
what do we tell Steven?

I think Jawan feels confident
in the plan of me, him

and Sage voting out Steven.

But right now,

strategically, it makes sense

for me to move forward
with Steven

more than it does for me
to move forward with Jawan.

Jawan believes me, him
and Sage are very tight.

Because Jawan,
he can be a little sus.

I don't fully, fully,
100% trust him.

But I trust you more.

- Yeah. Yeah.
- I hope you know that.

So, Jawan.

Jawan. Easy.

You know,
with the merge coming up,

I need people to work with.

Like, I need numbers.

Steven's got those connects
that I'm trying to get,

because he has relationships
with the original Hina.

We'll be able
to pull in the numbers to, like,

literally, run this game.

I can see that, for sure.

Jawan has no new connections
for me that I don't already have

because Jawan has always
been on the bottom on Uli.

- Hundred percent, dude. Yeah.
- Yeah.

- I got your back.
- So...

- Totally. Awesome.
- Yeah.

All right.

I was feeling
very, very at risk.

All of a sudden--

bam-- Shark Shannon is out,

and she is swimming around
like a shark.

She wants to get Jawan out

because she doesn't
feel comfortable with him.

And I love Jawan.

We have a lot in common,
but I'm kind of

in a situation right now
where I don't have a choice.

I'm a little bit
at the mercy of the Uli tribe.

Okay.

We got
to start thinking next steps.

- Who are we gonna connect with
once we're at the merge?
- Yes. Yes.

I'm gonna come out and say,

my only fear is if we

vote out Steven...

With Jawan, Jawan...

has kind of given us

not the most trustworthy vibes,
from the jump.

- I hate... I hate
to admit you're right,
- No, I...

- I do too. No, I love him.
- 'cause I love Jawan.

But it's a game.

Agreed.

Shannon loves to be the leader,

and I love
to let her be the leader.

Oh, Shannon. Sisters.

We're good. We're gonna be okay.
We've made it.

I feel-- Oh, my God, dude.

- I feel...
- And just, like...

My first move is

I got to make Shannon
feel really comfortable because

my plan for tonight
is to get out Shannon.

And I'm going for Shannon

because she's
playing both sides very hard,

and revenge feels sweet,
and I can taste it

on the tip of my tongue.

- Lock, lock, lock, lock, lock.
- Yeah. Yes, yes, yes.

But the problem is,

it's a risky move
gunning for Shannon because

the Uli-Hina war
is absolutely still going.

So when the other Uli members
see that Shannon's gone,

that absolutely
could blow up my spot.

And they could be like,

"Wait, Sage might be a bigger
threat than we thought."

- I want to go first,
just so I can continue
- Yes.

- solidifying trust with you.
- Yes.

She's-she's-- It's you.

She wants it to be you.

- Oh, like, she, like, seriously,
she wants it to be me?
- Yes.

- Like, she wants
to vote with Steven to be me?
- Yes.

- Oh, wow.
- I know.

So she really wants me out.

- She really wants you out.
- Dang.

She's throwing you
under the bus, hardcore.

Okay.

Shannon's voting for me tonight,

and it definitely feels a little
bit icky because I've had hugs

with Shannon, when she's like,
"Oh, we're good. We're good."

Obviously, it's not all paradise
with the original Uli members.

We're, like, talking.

We're doing our "sister time."

- Yeah. Yes.
- However...

Day one, she started throwing
out my name to everybody.

Over here?

Oh, my gosh.

She has to go.

Really? Is it that bad?

Sage, you are a blessing.

- I love you so much.
- I love you so much.

Thank you for having my back,
and this changes everything.

But they...

they love Shannon.

Freaking Nate and S--
uh, Savannah love Shannon.

By taking out Shannon tonight,

my original Uli tribe would lose
trust in me completely.

And Uli's
been kicking some butt.

We still have our original six.

We're the top dogs,
so it's easy to be like,

"Uli Strong"
and take out Steven.

The fact that knowing
that she brought up my name,

like, yeah, I would love
to shake things up, but not yet.

Jawan's feeling super hesitant

about turning
on the original Uli tribe.

And he's just this

very loyal,
like, "Uli Strong" person.

Come on, man.

Shannon's throwing
some shade at you.

All I can say is,
we have to get her out.

Um, and Jawan is cut from the
same exact cloth as you and I.

- Okay.
- Um, I think
we can get him on board.

I just, you just never know.

My trust in Shannon
definitely went down,

but I can still use her,
even though

she is dangerous.

Shannon thinks
that she's steering this ship,

but in actuality,

me and Sage are the ones

deciding who goes home.

We can keep it simple--
Uli versus Hina--

and vote Steven,

or we take out Shannon and...

blow this game up tonight.

If this is your first time
at Tribal,

grab a torch,
dip it in and get fire.

This is part of the ritual
at Tribal Council because,

in this game,
fire represents your life.

When your fire's gone,
so are you.

That is gonna
be the case tonight.

And with only four of you...

...really nowhere to hide.

Shannon, you're beaming.

I mean, this is so scary,
but so cool.

As a fan, as a player,
as a human

who loves new experiences,

this is heart-opening

beyond what I ever
could have expected.

So, does that
kind of describe you?

Would you say, "That's who I am,

I'm sort of openhearted"?

Yeah, it's definitely
who I aim to be.

You know, I've guided a couple
meditations for the group,

and we're constantly working
on keeping our heart open,

because, you know, beyond the
scary aspects of the strategy,

when we keep our hearts open,

we're able to embrace that
versus kind of be afraid of it.

Steven, you were
nodding your head.

Yeah, I lead
with my heart as well.

And I think
that's why, as a tribe,

we really seem to click and vibe

in a way that I never expected,

which is what
makes it so much harder

to be sitting here at Tribal

knowing that
one of us has to go home.

Sage, how about for you?

I'm an open person, Jeff,

hence why I'm on Survivor.

I'm always down
to try something new.

And actually coming into
this experience, I was like,

"It'd be kind of cool
if we had, like, a yogi,

"like, meditation guide

on the opening tribe."

I don't know how,
it just happened, but, uh...

She manifested it.

Jawan, let's see
if we can make it unanimous.

Are you openhearted?

Um, I'm kind of open, too.

I-I feel like
my door is always open,

until you give me a reason
that made me shut that door.

Steven, that was a cagey answer.

Could be 'cause it's day 12,
and he's exhausted.

Could be he doesn't
want to say any more.

Yeah.

It's like being
at an awkward high school dance.

There's only
four people to talk to.

That's very few data points.

That's very few
conversations to have.

And it's a little harder to tell

are people being truthful,
are people being deceitful?

And the funny thing
about being on a tribe

of just four people--

when two people go off,

odds are they're not talking
about voting each other out.

There's a 50/50 chance
your name is in the mix.

- Wow.
- So every conversation matters,

especially when we're about
to enter act two in this game.

No one wants
to go home pre-merge.

So, yeah, the game
is being played every second.

Sage,

there's nothing wrong
with playing Survivor hard,

as long as you're playing well.

Totally, totally.

In a Tribal Council
of four people, like,

you have to play hard,
to an extent,

but, also, you don't
want to play too hard,

'cause then the target
shifts to your back, so,

it's-it's hard to find

that balance
in-in a situation like this.

So, Shannon,
how do you navigate that?

Because you can
play hard and covert,

and that's fine
'cause nobody knows,

but if you're playing hard
and everybody sees it,

- Right.
- then you're playing poorly,

- and that's a problem.
- Totally.

Yeah, and I think with

three of us here
haven't been to a Tribal,

so you may think
you're playing a great game,

you may think you're going hard
and you're being strategic,

but it's a game of action
over words and conversations.

And I think
we're gonna see, tonight,

how those actions align with
where the trust really lies.

Steven, how big a factor
is the talk of the merge?

It's the entire talk.

It's driving everything.

We're so close
that everyone can taste it,

everyone can smell it,

and you can
feel it in your bones.

Getting this close to the merge

and falling short
is heartbreaking.

And it looks like
I might be the one on the outs,

if you're looking at
a yellow member in a sea of red.

- Shannon, Steven
brought up the tribe divide.
- Yeah.

Does it still exist 12 days in?

Is it three Uli
and one former Hina,

and maybe Steven should
be worried because of that?

Well, I mean, when you look
at the way the other Tribals

have been going,
it's been clear that

original tribes
have been playing a role.

But to me, I think

tonight's vote is so much more
about who do I want

to move forward with
going into something

as big as the merge.

So, going into
your first vote, Steven,

how comfortable are you
that the vote's gonna go

the way you think it's gonna go?

I feel pretty comfortable
that it's gonna go

the way I think
it's going to go.

And if it's not,
then it's an indication

that I was drawing dead
to begin with.

That's what's so scary about
making it this far into the game

without having been to a Tribal.

I've never had a chance to test

"Have people been
telling me the truth?"

So this is a huge leap of faith.

I'm looking down

this giant abyss
that's the distance

between this crazy,
cavernous ship

that's been cut into two,

which is awesome, by the way.

And, hopefully,
the bonds I've made are true,

and that I'm gonna
be here tomorrow.

All right.

It is time to vote.

Shannon, you're up.

Focus, Jawan, focus.

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: Jawan.

Shannon.

One vote Jawan,
one vote Shannon.

Shannon.

That's two votes Shannon,
one vote Jawan.

Seventh person
voted out of Survivor 49:

Shannon.

Need to bring me your torch.

Hey, guys, that's totally okay.

I love you guys. Hugs.

Hugs, hugs.

Hugs.

No worries.

Thank you for
a great experience, you guys.

No stress.

No stress at all.

I love you guys.

I'm gonna give you a handshake

'cause
I want the hug to be genuine,

- and I don't think I can
give that to you right now.
- That's okay.

- That's okay. I love you, too.
- But I look forward to hugging
you in the future, okay?

- I love you.
- Take care.

- I'll see you soon, okay?
- Yeah.

Thank you, guys.

So fun.

So surreal.

Blessed, blessed, blessed.

Thank you, guys.

Whoo.

What a time.

Nothing but grateful.

Shannon,

- Jeff.
- the tribe has spoken.

Thank you.
Thank you for the opportunity.

And thank you, guys.
Nothing but love.

- Thank you so much.
- Time for you to go.

Grab your torches,
head back to camp.

Good night.

Yeah!

Next time on Survivor...

This is the merge.

Like, we have to go hard.

We can flip the script.

All hell is gonna break loose.

Going home is obviously
disappointing.

I think I connected a little
too hard with too many people

too quick,
but that's who I am.

So props to them. I wish
them nothing but the best.

This has been a dream come true.

I am completely grateful
and fulfilled with my experience

and, you know, trusting that it
happened as it was supposed to.
