JAWAN:
Oh, yeah.

That was my fault.

I'm so sorry.

SAVANNAH:
I'm internally fuming,

like, actually full of rage.

PROBST:
Previously on Survivor...

(chanting):
Hina! Hina! Hina! Hina!

Hina! Hina! Hina!

-Hina! Hina! Hina! Hina!
-This is embarrassing.

Hina!

Everybody, drop your Buffs.

-Oh.
-We're switching tribes.

Oh, my God, yes.

-You know, it's really nice
to see some new faces.
-Yeah. Totally.

-OTHERS: Yeah.
-For sure.

STEVEN:
I'm looking around and
I'm seeing four Hina members,

including myself,
on this new tribe.

Hi, guys. I'm Shannon.

STEVEN:
The two people that seem
to be on the bottom of the tribe

are, obviously,
the two Uli members.

And when the time comes,
are we gonna go with Sage

or are we gonna go with Shannon?

SAVANNAH:
Yeah.

RIZO:
There's a war
between Hina and Uli brewing.

And the fact
that Uli has majority

in this tribe,

we have the opportunity
to strike first.

♪ ♪

Jason.

That's two votes Jason,
two votes Matt.

Fifth person voted out
of Survivor 49:

Matt.

The tribe has spoken.

♪ ♪

JASON:
Yeah.

But yeah.

I'm, like, so thankful
to still be here.

I, like, hope that we kick ass

-at the next couple
of challenges.
-Yeah.

-Absolutely.
-For sure.
-Because...

I really like all y'all.

And I'm hoping
to get to know you more,

'cause I've only known you
for so little, right? So...

I'm really excited

that I get to live another day
in this game.

But the truth of the matter is,

Matt's name was written down

and my name was written down.

So no matter how much
Uli wants to say tribal lines

have dissolved,
they clearly haven't,

because the only people
that got votes

were old Hina.

So I have a lot of work to do.

Congrats, Jason. I know...

-I know it's tough
to see your name, but...
-Yeah.

Listen,
it's a new beginning now.

Thanks, guys.

-Can we give you a hug?
-JASON: Yeah.

SAVANNAH:
It's our first Tribal tonight.

Dude, seriously,
like, I feel freaking good.

My alliance is solid.

We are in the majority
big-time here on this beach.

And we got to get rid
of one of the old Hina.

I have nothing to worry about.

I'm living the Survivor dream.

It does not get
better than this right now.

-NATE: Make it to the merge.
-SAVANNAH: Duh.

-Got to make it
to the merge, right?
-That's right.

-Yeah.
-I like this six.
-Good stuff. All right.

We did not start a war tonight.

You know who started the war
was the old Hina tribe

every time they did that stupid

"Hina, Hina" chant.

-See you in the morning?
-Yeah, have fun, man.

SAVANNAH:
Like, how are we expected

to work with people
who are so tightly bonded?

You literally gave us no choice.

What else were
we supposed to do?

So, if we end up going
to another Tribal Council,

from my point of view,
Jason's got to go.

SHANNON:
I'm laying under the stars,

and I'm just doing my best

to not overthink the situation.

Naturally, being on the bottom

of this new Kele tribe,

I'm in this
self-preservation mode.

And this idea
kind of comes to me of sorts.

We go into a merge, right?

-Mm-hmm.
-Two yellow, two red, two blue.

Mm.

SHANNON:
Super unexpected.

What I came up with was

this idea of

two Uli, two Hina,

and two Kele--

a core six to work together

to keep each other's names

out of the rotation.

I feel you.

Naturally, Steven likes this
idea because it's a great idea.

And I could see us
just taking out the big threats.

STEVEN:
Shannon rolls over
and starts spitting game at me.

And I'm like, "Dude,
I know we don't have coffee,

but could I get some coffee
before we start doing this?"

Of course I'm gonna say yes.

You don't say no
to an alliance, but...

it just was so early.

And she's playing so hard.

Right now I'm excited
that the game is starting,

but I just wasn't expecting it
to slap me in the face

as soon as I woke up.

-We're in a really good spot.
-Yeah.

-We can grab our ones,
come together, and kind of...
-Yeah.

You're ready to play...

I am.
No, I want us to survive this.

ALEX:
No, I know.

SHANNON: The love language in
Survivor is talking strategy.

And so, as I'm starting
to talk to these players,

I'm recognizing, "Oh, like,
you've been waiting for this.

"You've been wanting,
like, a juicy

piece of steak
to get a part of, right?"

And that feels good in the game.

'Cause I think if you...

-Even if
we get rid of Sage first.
-Yeah.

-I mean, you have to do
what you have to do to stay in.
-Exactly, no, and...

Yeah.

-No, I know.
I feel the same way.
-Because even...

Right now, I'm doing my best
to have conversations

and connecting with people

in a really authentic way.

-(whispering): I know. Yeah.
-It's nice to connect with you.

-Yeah, no, I love you guys.
-Yeah.

And, um...

(whispers):
Okay, good.

Thanks.

While also

doing my best
to keep my strategic pants on.

I'm definitely down

to vote out Sage if that's,
if that's necessary,

because I love her,
but just, strategically,

she's never really
given that much to me.

I definitely would say

we're making progress.

this morning sketched me out.

STEVEN:
I was like,
"Shannon, like, I just woke up."

Right?

STEVEN:
And she's, like,
scheming so hard.

And, like, she even opened up.
She's like, "I don't want it

-to sound like I'm scheming
too hard."
-Yeah.

She said, "But I get really,
really good vibes from you."

-Mm-hmm.
-I feel like that's something
she'd say to everybody.

Yeah.
She's talking to everybody.

-She's talking to everybody.
-Yeah.

conversations in a way

that's so, like, disarming
with all the spirituality stuff.

-Yeah, yeah, yeah. It is.
-And I'm like, "Girl."

-(chuckles)
-Like, she's a good talker.

-She is...
-She's-she's strategizing.

-She's thinking so far ahead.
-Yeah.

I do get that vibe
from her, too.

Shannon-- it seems like
she's a good game player.

I actually admire it
a little bit

'cause it's kind of like
how I want to play.

But that's not someone

that I want to have
against me in the future.

I just wanted to see, like,
how you're feeling about things.

-And...
-I'm feeling good. Um...

STEVEN:
Are you getting good vibes from,
like, anyone in particular?

Yeah, I mean, obviously,
Shannon and Alex

have been really good.

But the only person
that's, like,

-talked game to me
so far has been Shannon.
-MC: Yeah.

-STEVEN: She's been
talking game.
-Hard.

-Yeah.
-She's been playing hard.

Okay.
We got to look out for that.

-MC: Yeah, for sure.
-Okay.

You don't want
that scheming hard

to bite us in the butt later,
you know?

KRISTINA:
Yeah, that's true.

Emotionally, I really connect

with Shannon.

I do think she's being

so genuine with me.

And I really like her.

But I'm also realizing,
with talking

with my alliance, that Shannon
is playing the game hard.

And people are starting to maybe
question it a little bit.

I want to fight for her so much.

But at the same time,

I really need to take inventory

of my gut versus my emotions.

Oh, this is so hard.

JASON:
Tribal Council
was a wake-up call to me.

Right now my torch

is the only yellow torch

on this beach
that is supposed to be yellow.

So, as the one person

on the outs,

the ball's in my court

to change the game.

Because I'm between
a rock and a hard place

and another rock and another
hard place and another rock.

It's hard
to build bonds with people

who you've just met, you know?

JASON:
It feels like the first vote--

it's more about, like,

-like, what you are,
not who you are.
-SOPHI: Yeah.

JASON:
My plan

is to erase Tribal lines

in order to break

the us-versus-them mentality
of Hina versus Uli.

I want to start making
personal connections to see

which ones stick.

-So, Jason...
-What's up?

That's my guy.

Yeah.

And you have, like, the guy
that looks like the duck.

-Oh, yeah.
-Uh...

I called him Justin Bieber,

'cause he had, like,
the hair flip thing.

Uh-huh.

I really get along with Jawan.

And I think,

who's the nerdiest nerd
of them all?

Me and Jawan are
kind of neck and neck up there.

I'm-I'm glad you're here,
and, um...

you're someone I can
definitely see myself

continuing
to work through this game.

Jason is in trouble

only because
he got dealt a bad hand.

But I'm not
ruling Jason out because

if this Uli-Hina war ends,

I want to have
potential allies moving forward.

I'm kind of like the easy next

if people
don't want to do anything.

-Yeah.
-But...

I really just want
to work forward

with, like,
people that I can trust.

JAWAN:
Let's, like, open this thing up.

-Yeah, like...
-You know? Let's make it
more fluid, you know?

But, like, right now,
on this current tribe,

we are a solid five.

And with that, unfortunately,
leaves my boy

Jason on the bottom.

It's always awkward, though,

on your face when they're,
when they're bent.

Yeah. Uh-oh.

JAWAN:
I am the bandit. Every time.

That's so weird.
-JAWAN: I don't know.

(overlapping chatter)

I forgot. It's in my... (laughs)

Honestly, at this point,
it's, like, funny.

It's just agitating
at this point, because

over at the old Uli camp,

Jawan was using my clean bag

with my clean clothes

to collect firewood,
aka look for idols.

So, yeah, I have
a little bit of beef with Jawan.

-You know, you know
I like to have my stuff.
-(Jawan laughs)

-You know I like
to have your stuff, too.
-SAVANNAH: I know you do.

-JAWAN: I can't help it.

For the past, like, week or so,

I've been, like,
taking her bag by accident.

-Water bottle.
-JAWAN: Took her water bottle.

JASON:
Just her?

-Yeah, it's just me.
-JAWAN: Yeah...

-I don't know what it is.

SAVANNAH:
He's using my stuff.
He's using my bag.

He's using my water bottle.

It's agitating.

Jawan was at the bottom.

He might still be at the bottom.

-Good.

I just want you to know,

you're the exact kind of person
I wanted to work with.

ALEX:
No, like, literally, same.

-Like, I feel like we...
-I can literally see
their mouths moving

from a mile away.

And that's exactly how

she talks to everybody else.

Shannon very much
has an approach of finding

something you value

and then going hard
into that thing

in every conversation with you.

-You can get high
off of anything, right?
-Mm-hmm.

Goats get high off of hay.

-Jesus got high off God, right?
-Yeah.

"You give oldest daughter."

-give oldest daughter.

the old Parvati with Alex.

Stop.

She's kissing his hand.
She's holding his hand.

I'm like, "Alex,

you can't be buying this, man,"
but he is.

No, I didn't.

SAGE:
It could just be
her being genuine,

but for me, my gut says, like,

she's definitely
that shark that, like,

starts off as, like,
maybe a cute seal.

And then
the seal rips its mask off,

and it's a giant shark that's,
like, going to eat your head.

Like, it's not a seal.

Everybody else sees a seal,
and I'm trying to be like,

"Guys, it's a freaking shark.

Do you see the fin on the back?"

but try and play
the long game here.

Dude, I just want to say,
I like you a lot.

I like you, too.

-Yeah.

Shannon said
she feels really good with you.

The first person who started

talking strategy to me
was Shannon.

And, honestly,
it was very appreciated.

And as the only

original Kele member
on the new Kele tribe,

if someone wants
to talk strategy with me,

I'm completely open.

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

I trusted Shannon

and was willing
to work with her,

Here's what I'll say,
'cause I...

Like, I'm not one

-Let's do it.
-Good luck. Let's find it.

I don't want the advantage.

I know that advantages

come with
having targets on your back.

But I certainly don't want
MC to have it, either.

I realize I'm not

gonna find it, and I know

the longer she's out there,
the better

her odds are of finding it.

♪ ♪

There's a lot
of sand left in that timer,

but I want this to be over.

What?

We're running out of time!

Okay. I'm coming!

When Nate calls me back,
I look at the hourglass timer.

NATE:
If you want to keep looking,

I can stay and watch.
I just didn't want to risk it.

Looks like there's still

a good amount of time to search.

So I'm thinking, "Does Nate have

some ulterior motive?"

It's hard to tell,
but my brain is not working.

So...

let's just end this

right here.

At the very least,
I still have my vote,

-and Nate still has his vote.
-Bam!

(sighs) Good job.

Good job. (sniffles)

MC:
I look back at the sandbags,
and I'm like,

"I just did that.

Like, I just did that."

And that's what I came here
to do, to do hard things.

And when I was younger, I was so

self-conscious
about my body image.

Like, I was too muscular.

Kids, like, bullied me and
teased me when I was younger.

Like, I felt
I should make myself smaller.

I should

wear long sleeves,
so that people can't see, like,

my biceps, and...

I look back on how I felt,
and I'm so glad

of how far I've come now

to be proud of my muscles

and be proud of how strong I am.

And I just think, like,

in the end, I didn't give up.

And I'm glad

that I didn't let those bullies

take that life
and that fight out of me.

-She looks exhausted.
-SOPHIE: She looks tired.

-Oh!
-Welcome back.

-That was quite horrible.
-SHANNON: Oh, my gosh.

-Yeah, lay down.
-ALEX: Oh, my God. You have sand

on you and everything.

At least I still have a vote.
Thank God.

-Good stuff.
-SOPHIE: Thank God.

Nice work.

MC:
All right,
so it was Nate on the journey.

Uh, Matt went home.

-Ah.
-Ah. Yeah.
-Yeah.

So we pull up to this beach,

and there's a bunch of sandbags.

-Oh...
-Oh, my God.

-I'm triggered, y'all.
-(laughing)

SHANNON:
Ew.

So, MC comes back
and tells us about the journey.

MC:
So we finished right on time,

-and I'm so tired.
-SOPHIE: Thank God.

SAGE:
But when Shannon was off
doing something, it was just

me and the other five.

Now is the time to strike.

If you're looking
at the numbers here,

it's former Hina strong,

and I'm really hoping
to work with former Hina.

So I want
to use this opportunity

to continue building
that rapport and trust,

so they'll take me
further in the game.

Now that I have you all here,

a shot has been taken at Hina
at last Tribal Council.

-Yeah.
-SAGE: And I think,

obviously, it would
be smart to take a shot at Uli.

-OTHERS: Yeah.
-SAGE: And so this is me

trying to, like, prove to you

that, like, I'm with you,

-and I want to work with you.
-SOPHIE: Yeah.

Rizo has the advantage.

-Rizo has the advantage.
-STEVEN: Mm.

-He got it on y'all's beach.
-SAGE: Mm-hmm.

Basically, you lose your vote
until you lose a challenge.

So since he lost
his challenge last night,

I would bet money
that Rizo has an idol.

SOPHIE:
Okay.

-That's huge.
-MC: And Shannon
knows this, too.

She does.
Has she told any of you?

-SOPHIE: No.
-No.
-Yeah.

-STEVEN: She's been
a little sketchy.
-Yeah.

MC:
Sage tells us that

Rizo found the Beware Advantage
on the Uli camp.

The task is similar
to the task that I have

for my own Beware Advantage.

So I know this girl
is telling the truth.

-I'm out for revenge now.
Like...
-OTHERS: Yeah. Yeah.

SAGE:
Like, you can cut me out,
but, like,

-I'm gonna cut back.
-OTHERS: Yeah. Yeah.

MC:
This definitely
tips the scale towards Sage

when it comes to
if we need to vote someone off.

I'd rather keep Sage
than Shannon.

And it sounds like Sage
wants to truly work with us,

so I want to work with her.

SHANNON:
Have you felt

any cracks or anything?

I-I have felt zero cracks.

Okay.

-SAGE: Which is scary.
-SHANNON: Right.

With Matt going today, too.

-You know? Right.
-Yes. It would make sense

-for them
to be out for Uli blood.
-Right.

If we do lose,

it might be obvious to Sage
that it's either me or her.

But when it comes to Sage,

it seems like
she's really just not

talking strategy with anybody.

-How are you? Yeah, come here.
-I haven't got
to hug you in forever.

-Here's a big one. Yeah.
-Yeah.

-Oh, man.
-Are you okay?

Yes. Are you?

In terms of where
Shannon and I stand,

I still feel like

there's a part of her that
sees me as this wounded puppy

that just needs encouragement
and needs reassurance

so that I won't
suspect anything,

and I won't play
my Shot in the Dark.

Like, your skin's
looking really good.

-I think just, like, the
humidity and stuff just, like...
-Oh, thanks.

I got a couple zits
that I'm like,

"If I had a mirror right now,

-you'd be..."
-Oh, you look great.

My relationship with Sage

doesn't feel
that different from Uli.

It's a lot of fun conversations.

You know,
it can be about pooping,

or pimples

or how she was the Easter Bunny.

All I know
is that when I talk to her,

it's not super strategic.

Sage, like, this is a game.

-Yeah.
-And it's fun.

-Yeah. Oh,
I'm having a great time, like...
-Yeah, you know?

First and foremost, it's...

-it's fun.
-If you're ever feeling
any other way, let me know,

-because I will remind you
that it's unnecessary.
-Yeah.

I can tell when
somebody thinks I'm stupid.

But the reality
is I'm a wolf, baby.

I'm ready to eat her.

And I think
I'm getting that opportunity.

-SHANNON: Okay.
-SAGE: Can I have another hug?

-Of course you can.
-Thank you so much.

-I love you a lot.
-I love you.

We pull up, and we get out
and greet each other.

And we see
table with an hourglass

and-- I'm not kidding--

at least a hundred sandbags.

-JAWAN: No.
-(laughs)

So I quickly get
into the story of what happened.

There's no advantage.
It literally was just, like,

-you either both keep your vote
-What?!

or you both lose your vote.

-It was no upside?
-NATE: No.

It was only downside.

And the good news is, it seems
like everybody believes it.

That's crazy, man.

So, ultimately, I do think
the journey was a success.

And the other part

that was the success
from the beginning, as soon

as I got on that boat,

was that Jason didn't
have a chance to get anything.

cannot stomach coconut anymore.

"merge," that's a game-changer.

We have the majority,

and we can kind of dictate
where this game goes.

-I really like you,
Jawan, and...
-I like you too, bro.

-Yeah.
-And every conversation
we've had has been

-100% genuine.
-Yeah.

-I'm for real about it.
-Yeah, me too.

Honestly, I like the kid.

I don't want it to be a war,

but these are the hands
that we were dealt.

I don't want this game
to be black and white, you know?

'Cause, like, honestly,
I feel like...

That's sort of, like, where
my head is at, and maybe we can

-pull it off.
-Yeah.

JAWAN: So my goal is to continue
to make him feel comfortable

so he doesn't play
that Shot in the Dark.

-Okay, so we got
to get a game plan
-All right.

-because the merge is about
to happen, most likely.
-Yes.

SAVANNAH:
This is, honestly,
almost good news

-for us at the merge.
-Yeah.

RIZO: Hundred percent.

SAVANNAH:
On paper, Jason
is the obvious vote tonight.

It would be numbers,

former Uli versus Hina.

Worst case scenario,
he plays the Shot in the Dark.

NATE: Yeah.

I...

Yes.

RIZO: A war. Yeah.

-Exactly.
-RIZO: Yeah.

SAVANNAH:
I am seriously considering

writing Jawan's name down.

Because if we get rid of Jason,

I fear that the former Hina

are gonna think that we are
targeting their whole tribe.

They're gonna worry
that we are starting this war.

And that's not what I want,
because ultimately, I think

we do have to work
with the former Hina tribe

in order to make it far
and to the end of this game.

JASON:
I mean, how do you feel

about where the game is at
right now?

I do not want this to be
a tribe-versus-tribe thing,

-'cause that's stupid.
-Yes.

-And I'm open
to working with you.
-Oh, yeah?

I didn't come out here to play
a freaking six v. six game.

If I wanted to do that,
I would have stayed home

-and played freaking basketball.
-Right.

-You know what I mean?
-Yeah.

I think you're honestly
in a great position,

and I think you might have
more power than you realize.

So in talking to Jason,
I want him to feel like

I actually am willing to work
with him, because, honestly,

I am willing to work with him.

You have so much power because

you're in a totally
different position.

None of us have any connection
with the Hina tribe.

You are the only one
who has that.

-Yes.
-So, I'm just gonna
be real with you

'cause I'm trying to show
I'm trying to work with you.

-Yeah.
-You need to pitch that

-to people.
-Yeah.

SAVANNAH: I could see my game
opening up if I work with Jason.

But I do not want to be

steering this vehicle,
even though

Jawan's ultimately
the one I want out.

I just want to make sure

that I can be sort of,
like, the bridge

-to communicate
to old Hina after the merge.
-Yeah.

JASON: What Savannah made me
realize is that I am

the sole thread that connects

new Hina with old Hina.

I'm kind of, like,
the thread that connects

-y'all to old Hina.
-Mm-hmm.

JASON:
My position is key

to everyone moving forward
in this game.

Whatever it is you want
to happen,

like, I'll-I'll help you.

Yeah. No, that's good to know,
'cause I do--

I think there's-there's
something to be done.

I want to talk to Savannah.

JASON:
The ball is in Savannah's court,

so, I have to hope

that Savannah has my back

and that I'm able
to live the night.

Jason's like,
"Look, for tonight,

"I don't want
to step out of bounds.

Like, I'll do
whatever you guys tell me..."

SAVANNAH:
The good news is
that Nate's very open

to working with Jason,
which is perfect because

I didn't want to choose
this moment to take control.

I'd rather have Nate
make the decision on this.

Okay.

-So today, how do you want
to handle today?
-Hmm.

NATE:
The easy vote tonight is Jason.

But the other question mark
is Jawan,

who, since day one
on the Uli Beach,

we always wondered
how loyal he could be.

Yeah. Are you gonna be okay
to write his name down?

-I'll... I'm...
-Okay.

I don't know.
I don't want you to...

-Are you delusional?
-(laughs)

Are you insane?

Just want to make sure
you're good.

(both laughing)

NATE:
If we took out Jawan tonight

and kept Jason, it might say,
"Hey, this game is

"wide open. We don't have to
vote on tribal lines anymore."

When I grow up, I want
to be just like you, Savannah.

SAVANNAH:
Right now,

it's all about keeping
my options open because

I don't really know for sure if
I'm gonna go vote for Jason

or maybe eat one of my own
and vote for Jawan.

Appreciate you, fam.

Appreciate you more.

He's been bugging me
since day two.

I think he's a liability,
I think he's frantic,

and I think
he's the most likely to flip

on our former Uli
after the merge.

But if we choose
to eat one of our own,

I'm also worried that
we're gonna set ourselves up

for failure
against the old Hina.

This is not going to be
a simple numbers vote.

This vote tonight could impact
the rest of the game.

PROBST:
All right.

I want to pick up where
we left off

at the challenge.

'Cause here's what I thought
as you all were leaving.

"There is no way
everybody can go back to camp

"and immediately
start strategizing.

It's just too exhausting
right now."

Savannah, could you describe

what you're all feeling

to your best friend in a way
that they might understand?

Absolutely not.

It is this level of exhaustion

that normal people will never,
ever have to experience.

Most people don't operate
on an empty stomach.

Most people aren't operating
with very little sleep.

Most people are not operating
from a state of paranoia.

And it's hard because
you know that you have

to have these
important conversations,

but how can you even
think about strategizing

when your brain
is literally just mush?

PROBST:
Jason, what do you say
to somebody that says,

"The 26-day game? Eh.

"It's not tough enough, man.

That's not Survivor"?

Anyone who says that,
I want to know

how many days
they have done this.

If it's zero,
then shut up, dude.

Like, I want
to see your receipts,

because until you're here,
you, like,

don't know what this is.

PROBST:
Jawan, it sounds like,
right now, on day ten,

-it is hour by hour.
-JAWAN: Yeah.

We're gassed,
but the game moves on.

And...

Can I say something
random, Uncle Jeff?

-I'm sorry.
-Always.

Yeah, I feel like
I'm a nervous guy,

and I feel like
I do better one-on-one.

So, being in this situation

with everybody
in a group scenario,

I apologize if I get nervous
or if I stutter

or if I mumble, and, um,
try not to overthink it.

-Um...
-What prompted you to say that

right now at Tribal?

JAWAN:
I think sometimes
when I hear other people talk,

I'm like,
"Yo, they're so well-spoken."

And I just feel like

sometimes I'm hard on myself.

-Hmm.
-JAWAN: Yeah, I'm working on it.

And, uh, thank you for being
patient with me, Uncle Jeff.

Rizo, Survivor is not
designed to break you,

but it's designed
to get you at that point

where Jawan is now questioning,
"Am I even a good communicator?

I don't know anymore."

RIZO:
You know, Jeff, I'm not

this great communicator myself,

but you kind of play
compare and contrast sometimes.

And it's not only in the game.

It's personally.
It's like, "Wow, like,

"this person is making
that person laugh a lot.

Like, am I not funny?"

"Like, wow, this person
is providing for people.

Am I not doing that?"
So, Survivor does

this weird thing
to your brain where it's like,

"I might not be playing
the best game,

but, like,
I might not be the best person."

So just kind of segueing back
to Jawan...

You always say,
"Apply, get out of the couch."

The first thing you have to do
is have confidence to apply,

let alone be here,

because this is not easy,
coming out here.

-Well said.
-SOPHI: Beautiful.

-Man, Uncle Jeff, that was fire.
-Beautiful.

Jawan, maybe you should question
if you're well-spoken.

-(laughing)
-That's...
-That's pretty good.

Now you see
what I'm talking about?

How... What do I even say?

That's it.

PROBST:
Jason, one of the things

about Survivor,
for everybody who plays,

there are gonna
be highs and lows.

You think you're in charge.
You're not.

You think you're in trouble.
You are.

So what are you proud of?

Jeff, there are so many ways
that, like,

Survivor tests you
as a person.

Like, physically,
at the challenge today.

Like, emotionally,

like, spiritually.

I'm, like, so proud

that I haven't given up
in, like,

any of those situations.

And I want to make sure that

if it is me tonight,
that I go home fighting.

PROBST:
So, does that mean
you're still feeling

that you are on the out
because of the yellow Buff

you started this game with?

JASON:
As much as I can trust

the people that
I've made these bonds with,

it's naive

to feel safe in this game, ever.

PROBST:
Savannah, every time
you have a vote,

especially when we're still
in the tribe stage,

it's about value.

What do the people that remain

have of value?

Did you have those discussions?

Of course, and it would be silly
not to have those discussions

and consider
every potential outcome

of tonight's vote, right?

So, Jason's pitch, so to speak,

going into this is,
he is a former Hina.

He knows people who are
on the other side, so to speak.

He can actually
help us down the line.

Jawan, did you
have any discussions

with Jason
about what he might offer?

JAWAN:
Yeah, man.
When I look at Jason,

it's like we're
cut from the same cloth.

You know, we got the glasses,
we talk about Pokémon.

So it's hard not to want
to talk to my guy, you know?

So even though
he's on "the bottom,"

there's moments,
if I'm being honest,

where I felt like
I was on the bottom.

So when I see him,
I see a mirror of me.

PROBST:
What makes you feel like

you're on the bottom?

Day two, I had an emotional day,

and I was struggling
to make fire.

Something about the pressure
of being in this environment

with new people,
it's just that paranoia

and kind of, you know,
that small doubt

that sometimes creeps
into everybody's head.

And that made me feel like
I was on the bottom, you know?

It's crept into your head twice,
just tonight at Tribal Council.

Yeah. Thank you for
reminding me, Uncle Jeff. Yeah.

But yeah, that happened
legit eight days ago,

and I'm still
holding on to that.

And I'm trying to let go,

but it's something that
eats away at me a little bit.

Well, maybe this will
help you let go. Nate,

when somebody talks
about self-doubt too much,

does it become something
that the other tribe members

listen to and say,
"Maybe he's right,

maybe he's who
we should get rid of"?

It certainly can.
I mean, I think

when you want to build
an alliance with anybody,

you want that person
in your alliance

to be as confident as you are
in the relationship.

But I also know Jawan
well enough now, ten days in,

to go, "He's a sweet kid.
That was one moment."

Like, none of us
are perfect people.

I think we've all
had these moments.

And if you can't
be honest out here,

you're toast.

PROBST:
So, Sophi,

is it possible that what's
happening with this group--

and maybe it's happening

with the other tribe, as well--
is that

when you start revealing your
vulnerabilities to each other,

then you say, "Look, I'm open.
You're getting to know me"?

That can be very bonding.

For sure. I mean, we've all
bonded in just two days.

I can't imagine
what they're doing over there.

And I think the phases

in Survivor are
kind of like waves.

You know, rough for some,
calm for others.

But for every Survivor player,

there's a certain point
where a tsunami comes.

And I think the stronger
players-- they... they swim.

They swim to the shore,
and, you know,

they get a piña colada
and a beach party.

And the weaker players--
they drown.

And I think when this war comes,

the stronger players
will survive.

And so, we'll see
what happens today--

who drowns and who survives.

All right, it is

time to vote.
Sophi, you're up.

Still smiling.

Ten days

Jason, the tribe has spoken.

They sure have.

-Love y'all.

All the best, man.

Adios.

Love you guys.

Sisters. Mwah.

RIZO:
I want to instill fear
in these people's hearts.

Aah!

I'll be okay.

Oh, man.

I thought that things were
gonna go my way tonight,

but Uli stayed Uli strong,
and I'm a casualty of that.

But I would do it
all over again.

I was the alternate this season,

so every single moment
I was out here,

I was soaking it in.

I felt like
I was living on borrowed time,

but when it's your time,
it's your time.

And what a journey
it's been for me.
