"It's day 13, and the game is about to change"!

Yeah!

Previously on Survivor...

Congratulations.

You have made the merge.

Let's go!

This is over.

Sophie wins first individual immunity challenge

of Survivor 49.

It's been, like, forever since I got to...

- I know. - ...see my, my squad.

The original Uli think that they have me and Sage,

but our goal is

to take these guys out.

You tell me to vote, I'll write it down.

I appreciate you so much.

At the moment, I've got the original

Hina members, and I've also got Sage and Jawan.

So...

we have the majority.

I'm getting a taste of revenge.

All hell is gonna break loose.

Jeff,

we'll play a little show-and-tell.

So, I do have it with me.

Uh, I'm-a be honest.

I do plan on playing it.

If anybody has an advantage or an idol and you want to play it,

now would be the time to do so.

Jeff.

I'm not sure I need to use it, but I'd rather secure my spot.

Okay.

Eighth person voted out and the first member of our jury:

Nate.

- The tribe has spoken. - Yes, sir.

Tribal Council went perfectly.

We pulled off the biggest move of Survivor 49,

and it feels amazing.

This is sweet because I started out this game

kind of on the bottom, and...

nothing is sweeter than a little bit of revenge.

- Yeah. -Top ten.

-Top ten. -That's crazy.

- Ten percent chance. - Top ten.

Tribal Council solidified where the lines were

and in such a sweet way.

The group that's in control right now

is the Hina members with Sage, Jawan and Alex.

We have seven members that are working together,

and we have the majority.

This is so awkward.

It's so interesting how people's personalities

and dynamic change when they're on the top

and when they're on the bottom.

I feel like Savannah, Rizo, Nate

and Soph felt like they were running the show.

Now it's a totally shifted dynamic,

and they're spooked.

It's about time they feel what it's like to be on the bottom.

I just want to tell you that...

And I was like, "Okay, I haven't really talked game with Steven."

- Like... So... -Yeah.

- No, I-I totally get it. - Yeah.

Oh, my God.

I was completely bamboozled today.

And, God, was I wrong, you know?

Oh, my God. There's something...

Aah! Sorry.

God, was I wrong.

So I'm kind of freaking out right now.

Where do I go from here?

No one is mad at you at all.

But I wrote down Steven's name,

and he's still in the game. That's the problem, but...

I mean, Steven's going for Savannah and Rizo.

Like, they're gonna get broken up the next vote.

As emotionally attached as I feel to Rizo and Savannah

at this moment,

it's very clear that

they're gonna anchor me down in this game.

And so, if me going forward means having

to cut Savannah and Rizo,

unfortunately I have to do that.

- I know. - I know.

I know. There's a lot of up in the air.

- Does she have it? Does she not? -No...

I played my idol at Tribal.

I didn't need it, but...

I needed just one Tribal Council to see who's really on my side,

and then I can know who I can trust in the future.

I know. I know...

And some people felt a little bit more hurt,

but that's the game of Survivor.

You can't show everyone your cards.

So people got to get over it.

I understand.

I told MC the plan.

I told her that she had me and Sage,

and we had the majority of votes.

She still played her idol, so that means she doesn't trust us.

So...

I want to keep my options open.

- You're still my boy. - Yeah.

- I still care about you. - 100%.

- I'm sorry. - I'm telling you right now,

you don't have to apologize.

So when we got back to camp,

I tried to do my best "damage control."

It was better Nate than me, so...

I appreciate that.

I promise you, it wasn't gonna ever be you.

But...

next on the hit list is Savannah and Rizo.

So I want them to think

that they're still able to work with me,

but I have no intention

on working with them moving forward.

- L-Look at me. - Yeah.

- I-I'm-- Game aside... - Yeah.

...I told you, from the bottom of my heart...

- Yeah. - ...you don't have to, like, you don't have to defend yourself.

- Yeah. - This is what you thought was the best.

And I'm still here.

Forget the past.

You don't have to do damage control with me.

The fact that Jawan and Sage blindsided me is not ideal,

but there's a lot of pros to what just happened.

I kept my idol, and I did not go home.

And now,

with Nate leaving,

it makes the opportunity for me to play a more fluid game.

- Yeah, yeah. - I mean it from the bottom of my heart, bro.

- There's no hard feelings. Love you, dawg. - Appreciate you.

I would love to work with Sage and Jawan for the time being.

And I can't wait

to see what this game has in store,

'cause even though I might be on the bottom,

don't count your boy out just yet.

We are now the minority.

Right.

But we cannot be bitter.

- I'm not... No. - We cannot be mad.

Tribal Council

was really a huge wake-up call

that I have no idea what's going on.

I know.

I don't have any allegiances anymore

other than Rizo and Soph right now.

This has been maybe the hardest part of my game so far,

but there's a way out.

So, right now

I got a lot of repairing to do with these people.

I thought my butt was on the line,

and so I apologize.

I want to say thank you

for keeping me here, and I'm so proud of you.

Congrats on the first official blindside.

Yay.

I feel very grateful because I know that

it could have been me tonight, and it wasn't.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Right now I do have a lot of self-doubt,

because I'm in a place where I know people don't trust me.

So I'm just kind of in self-preservation mode,

and it makes me really scared for my game moving forward.

Are we gonna have

the coolest banner ever?

Dang, that shark is crazy.

You seriously nailed it.

Sophie, that looks amazing.

Okay, artist.

Now I'm gonna pimp it out

with the yellow.

Oh, yeah.

I've always loved makeup,

and in college, there was a makeup class.

- I took it as an elective. -That's cool.

I thought I was gonna be learning how to,

like, contour. No.

It was makeup for the stage.

I was learning how to, like, age myself.

It was so crazy.

I love that.

Once I had to make myself into, like, a bird.

I had to, like, glue feathers to my face. It was a blast.

I'm sure MC is kicking herself in the butt right now,

because she played her immunity idol last night.

And...

when an idol is played, it goes back into the jungle.

On old Kele, I had an idol.

Right now I have no coverage,

and I want to feel comfortable again.

So...

if you can get a good group to say,

"Let's just go look together,"

that's better.

I looked over by the water well already.

And I looked over here.

I feel like maybe let's go this way.

Hindsight, it would have been great

if MC didn't play her idol,

because now we have an idol

that's out in the jungle.

This is not an offensive idol search.

This is a defensive idol search.

We are trying to block Soph,

Savannah and Rizo from finding that idol.

It's like, could it be tangled up in branches?

I don't know.

Ow.

I always hurt myself.

It's legit been 15 days of idol searching,

and it is the most exhausting thing of my life.

It's very tiring.

There's a lot

of bugs involved.

And it really just feels like you're looking for

a needle in a haystack.

Truly, it's like, where in this big old jungle

could this little piece of parchment be?

No way.

Wait, you found it?

No way. Kristina.

Dude.

I finally found something.

I'm so excited.

Wow.

No way.

I didn't have to do a Beware Advantage.

I didn't have to risk anything.

Like, it's just a certified idol right there.

"Congratulations.

"You have found a hidden immunity idol.

"When played at Tribal Council,

"any votes cast against you will not count.

"The last time this can be used

is when there are five players left in the game."

Okay.

My best-case scenario was to find an idol by myself.

But if I was gonna find it

with anyone,

then I'm really happy that it was Alex and with Steven.

-Phew. - Please keep it a secret.

- Yes, of course. - Yeah, just us three.

'Cause I-I will for sure use it

- for one of y'all if I can. -No, no.

I know, I know.

Of course I'm bummed

that I wasn't the one to find the immunity idol,

but Kristina just said she'll play it for us.

And I'm eating it up because I want the power.

I have this information,

and now if I'm in dire need at some point,

maybe I can convince her to use it for me

or, if I have to, throw her under the bus by sharing

this information about Kristina's idol

with everyone else.

And so knowing that Kristina has an immunity idol

is gonna help me so much down the road.

I'm so glad you're here, bro.

Me, too, buddy.

I think we're sitting in a good spot.

- Like... - Yeah.

I think there are, like, obvious targets ahead of us that,

- like... So... - Yes.

Now I feel like

- the games are really gonna begin. - Yep.

At the last Tribal Council,

I trusted in mission control

that we had the right flight plan

and that we were gonna hit the launch window

and be smooth sailing.

And, thankfully, that's exactly what happened,

because this is the first time

this crew has come together for a mission.

And now Savannah, Soph and Rizo are on the bottom.

Out of all of those three,

I would love to see Savannah go next.

She's rubbing some people the wrong way.

That's good for me.

Maybe I will just let her continue doing that.

I think Savannah is interesting.

She's very friendly, but deep down I'm like,

"Oh, man."

I kind of want her out sooner rather than later, bro.

I think sh-she... her... she would be my next pick,

if I had to, so...

Last night we turned on our original Uli members

and put them in a minority, right?

But now

my worst nightmare

is freaking Savannah the Savage.

She's so fierce in this game.

I'm afraid of her.

So I want to make sure, whatever happens next,

Savannah doesn't come for my neck.

- Really beautiful. - It is.

After the Nate vote, I'm trying to still do damage control

and not put too much of a target on my back.

And I really like Soph.

She's someone I would absolutely love to have by my side,

at least for the time being.

So this is me trying to rebuild trust with you.

And I don't know if it's intentional,

I don't know if it's unintentional,

but Savannah, this whole time,

has just, like, continuously made, like, digs at me.

- Really? - Has been kind of condescending.

So, like, for example, her and Rizo were saying, like,

"Oh, God, if Sage gets the chicken, she's gonna bug out."

And she's, like, naming it General Tso.

Oh, wow.

And she just keeps doing stuff like that of, like...

She's, like, picking on you.

- ...trying to get a reaction out of me. - Yeah.

I feel for you. And that's why I'm, like,

I don't-- I'm not attached to her.

- Yeah. - It was just, like, a circumstantial thing.

Like, I didn't know anybody else.

- You know? - Totally, totally, totally.

But, like, this is a different part of the game.

And, like, I'm ready to shift.

- I met you. - Yeah.

And, like, if you're willing to, like,

- put that trust into me, too, I'm down. - Yeah.

Like, we could take control of this game.

The first merge vote, like, I was advocating

for Savannah to go first,

but the group felt that Nate would be a better option.

And I'm not gonna, like-- I can only push back so much

before the target turns on me,

but I would love Savannah gone

because she's definitely not seeing me

as, like, a potential friend.

She's seeing me as a game piece,

so, like, now I will see you as a pawn.

And you can continue being a mean girl.

I'm not gonna let it affect me anymore.

And I can be a mean girl, too.

Oh, how you feeling?

Honestly, like...

I'm cool with everything. Like, I get it,

but I do feel awkward this morning.

- Not with you. - Yeah.

- Well... - Like, you know...

No.

No, we're good.

Uh...

Do you know what you and Jawan might do, like, next?

Genuinely, no idea,

because, like, yes, the numbers were with Uli,

- but now it's kind of even field. -Yeah.

And, like, I don't necessarily feel like I'm on the top, so...

- Uh-huh. Okay. - ...like, I genuinely don't know what I'm gonna do.

- But once I do, I'll tell you. - Okay.

- Thanks. -What about you?

- I literally have no idea. - Yeah.

Like, for the first time in this game, I can be like,

"I have no idea what's going on."

Yeah.

- Well, welcome to the club. -I know.

I feel like I finally, like-- was, like-- felt I got included

- in something, so... - Yeah.

I don't think Sage really knows how good she has it out here.

Everybody wants to work with Sage or include her in the vote.

Everybody's constantly asking her to go down to the beach.

And it's really hurtful

that she's painting me out to be this person

who is so conniving, and has all this power

and is this strategic mastermind.

It feels almost like

she's painting herself as a victim here.

But, like, you can't

paint yourself as a victim

if you're the one who actually has that knife

and is doing all the stabbing.

It doesn't work like that.

-Ready? -Yes.

I know that these people probably do, genuinely,

not want to see someone sad,

so, like, I'm trying not to, like, let it show, but...

right now, like, I am feeling left out,

and I'm feeling like

no one wants to have anything to do with me.

And I'm feeling like the pariah of this group

and like I'm just like, like, a loser.

And...

...like, it brings up a lot of really tough emotions for me,

because I've felt like this before.

Did I tell you about my, like, traumatic work situation?

- No. - Um...

I was brought onto this team,

and, essentially, like,

the team thought that I took someone's job

and that I didn't deserve to be there.

So they, like, iced me out.

And, like, it was so bad.

Like, they wouldn't talk to me

unless we were, like, in a group setting,

and, like, it was, like, for show.

God, but, yeah, it's like, it was a lot.

It was a job where I was on camera, so, you know,

when the cameras are on, they would talk to me.

And we would laugh and we would make jokes

and everything would be good.

And as soon as it was commercial break, nothing.

When we weren't on-air, there was nothing.

They wouldn't talk to me.

They wouldn't even look at me.

They would all get in their group,

and I could hear them, like,

even from, like, literally six feet away,

just talking about me.

And so, like, I went through that for, like, two years.

Two years?

Yeah, I was under contract there,

so, like, I literally could not leave.

And I'm like, "Oh, my God, this sucks."

And then, uh, it-it was so stressful

that it messed up all my hormones.

So my body was basically in flux.

I stopped getting a period.

I can't have kids naturally.

Like, it was so stressful,

it literally impacted, like, the rest of my life.

- Whoa. - Isn't that nuts?

- That's insane. - Yeah.

So, like, that's why, like,

being on the outs here, I'm like, "Oh, my God."

Like...

You know, it...

...it brings up a lot of trauma that, like,

you almost, like, forget about, right?

It's part of the reason why I am who I am,

and I'm-I'm grateful for it, in a weird way, but...

It's crazy what stress can do.

So...

That's heavy.

Yeah.

Being out here, like,

I knew it was gonna be stressful.

I knew it was gonna be hard.

I knew I was gonna probably cry a lot.

But, like, I had no idea it was gonna be this trigger

for this wave of emotions that I thought I had buried.

But trying to put my head down and do whatever I need to do

in order to survive, and I'm ready.

This is what I'm here for.

Come on in.

Ten people ready for battle.

Yes.

Oh, yeah.

Day 15, Survivor 49.

We're still here, Jeff.

- Still here. Still kicking. -Looking good, Probst.

A lot of people wish they were.

Yep.

They're a distant memory.

Savage.

Savannah, where are we now?

15 days in, now it starts to shift.

You can sort of see day 26.

Everybody is playing to win.

I'm nervous as hell.

I thought Tribal Council was gonna go one way,

and it went totally the opposite.

I was in a severe minority.

It was a good play. I respect it.

And I'm ready to hopefully make some amends

and see what we can do going forward.

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

- Do it. - Let's do it.

First things first, Sophie.

Got to take back the necklace.

- Thank you. - Thank you.

- Are you good? - You ready?

Yeah.

It's about to go down.

Once again, immunity is back up for grabs.

For today's challenge, you're gonna use

your hands and arms to brace against two walls

while your feet balance on very narrow footholds.

At regular intervals, we'll move down

to even smaller footholds, making it more difficult.

If at any point you drop, you're out.

There is a twist

- to today's challenge. -Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm.

-Classic. -Of course.

You're going to randomly divide into two groups of five.

You will compete against each other as groups.

Here's how it works.

The winning group, everybody earns immunity.

Everybody's safe.

- Oh. -Oh.

That group will not go to Tribal Council.

- Wow. - Oh...

That's crazy.

- Jeff coming out with the punches. - No.

Losing five, nobody's safe.

- Nobody has immunity. -Wow.

That group will go to Tribal Council.

- Oh. - Wow. Wow.

In addition,

the person who lasts the longest overall

earns an advantage.

-Wow. - Oh, my God.

And if that wasn't enough,

you're also playing for a reward.

I-- Oh, my God. Please...

Want to know what you're playing for?

-Yeah. -Yeah.

The winning five will go back to camp

and enjoy a do-it-yourself day of deli sandwiches.

Oh.

Ham, roasted chicken, pepperoni.

Pork, pork, pork.

And for dessert, chocolate chip cookies.

Oh, my God.

Warm, hopefully.

Worth playing for?

Losers, Tribal Council,

where somebody will be the ninth person

voted out of Survivor 49, become the second member of our jury.

Could be a million-dollar pivot right here.

Shall we?

- Yeah. - Let's get it rolling.

Wow. The game changes all the time.

-Oh. - Don't look. You know I like

to be in on the surprise, Sage.

There you go, Jawan.

Do you like me, Uncle Jeff?

- Yes, I like you all. -Just making sure.

Giving you the adventure you seek.

- This is it, Savannah. Right here. - Right? There it is. All right.

All right, everybody, palms up and reveal.

Let's see what we got.

If you are blue, come down on this side.

If you're yellow, go to that side.

- Five blue, five yellow. -Stand next to me.

I'm cool, guys. Come on.

All right.

Let's take a look at our division.

Blue, we have Sage, Rizo,

MC, Jawan and Sophie.

You are going to win or lose together as a group.

You will be competing against Steven, Kristina,

Soph, Alex and Savannah.

You will win or lose as a group.

All right, everybody take your spots.

We'll get it on.

Whew.

All right. Everybody's in first position.

Everybody looks good.

This challenge is on.

Five of you will lose together.

The first color to have no players in it anymore,

you're the losers.

No immunity.

You'll go to Tribal Council.

If you win, you'll go back to camp,

- have food. - I got this. I got this. I got this.

You don't even have to go to Tribal.

Going back to celebrate with a small group--

bonding.

Going to Tribal Council with a small group--

terrifying.

All right, you're gonna move down to that second foothold.

Five, four, three,

two, one.

Everybody successfully navigated the transition

to the second phase of this challenge.

It just got a whole lot harder.

You had a very wide-- for Survivor standards-- foothold.

It was cut in half.

It's only gonna get smaller the longer you last.

All right.

In a moment, you're gonna move down

to an even more narrow foothold.

This will get much more difficult.

So think about this transition.

You have 15 seconds.

If you drop during the transition, you are out.

All right, everybody start making your move.

No.

Kristina can't do it. Kristina's out.

You have nine seconds left to make this transition.

Eight, seven, six,

five, four, three,

two, one.

- Hands inside, Soph. - Sorry.

Alex is out.

Yellow is now down to three.

It's Savannah, Steven and Soph.

Anybody can still win it for the group.

It doesn't mean yellow's out.

It just means your shots are getting reduced,

- 'cause blue still has all five. -Oh, God.

But you can see the struggle in lots of faces.

Rizo drops.

He's out. First from blue.

Take a spot on the bench.

Oh, God.

Oh, man.

MC drops.

We are tied now.

It is Soph, Steven and Savannah for yellow.

Steven is out. We're down to two in yellow.

- It is Savannah and Soph. -Come on, Savannah. Come on, Soph.

Sophie, Jawan and Sage for blue.

You got this, Jawan.

Keep digging.

You never know when that person next to you is gonna say,

"I can't do it anymore."

Let them drop.

Looking strong, blue.

How much more is in that tank?

It's untested.

Let's find out.

Hail Mary, full of grace,

the Lord is with thee. Blessed art thou amongst women...

Let's go.

- Come on. Come on. -This is what I like to see, day 15.

Fighting for it.

Hail Mary, full of grace...

Fighting for your spot. Fighting for immunity.

Fighting for reward.

- Come on. - Fighting for advantage.

Come on.

All right, everybody.

You're now gonna move to the most narrow foothold.

- You have 15 seconds to do it. -Take your time.

- You got it. -If you drop right now, you're out.

Jawan can't do it. He's out.

Spot on the bench, Jawan.

We're down to four.

You've got ten seconds left.

-Sophie, Sage, you got this, girls. -Eight, seven.

- Six. - You're killing it, Soph and Savannah.

-Five. -Soph, you got it.

-You got it, Soph. -Four.

- You got it, Soph. -Three.

-You got it. -Two.

One.

Hands inside, Soph.

- Everybody's done it. Look at that. -Great job, Soph.

We're in the final stage of this challenge.

Great job, everyone.

Everybody looking good.

That pain is intense.

-Soph can't do it. She's out. - It's all right, Soph.

It's down to Savannah on yellow.

She said she was terrified of any group she's in.

- You got it, Savannah. -Savannah's fate is in her hands.

Can she outlast Sophie and Sage...

Sage, we got this.

...and secure immunity for herself

and the rest of yellow?

Sophie, Sage, y'all got this.

-You're good. You're good. -Doing great, Savannah.

Sage drops out of nowhere.

We have a showdown on Survivor 49.

Think of your mom, Sophie.

It is Savannah for yellow.

Think about that necklace.

Sophie for blue.

This is for all the marbles.

One woman is gonna win for her group...

- You got it. - You're-you're amazing. - ...safety, food

and an advantage for themselves.

The other will lose,

go to Tribal Council with no safety, no reward,

no advantage.

You've been at this for 23 minutes.

That's insane.

-You're amazing. -Wow.

That is a long time.

What's the record?

Savannah's so confident, she's asking about records.

You're good.

You're gonna break the record, Sophie. Let's go.

It seems to annoy Sophie.

Stay humble.

Sophie won the first individual immunity.

This would be back-to-back wins for her.

It would be Savannah's first win, and from the sounds of it,

it couldn't come at a better time.

This would be everything for you today.

We go here until we're done.

There is no more narrow foothold.

You are on the thinnest piece of wood.

You're good, Sophie.

-Sophie with a nice save. - You got it, girl.

You got it.

Think about your mom.

Yes.

-The pain is real right now. - Try to forget the pain.

Savannah with a slight reposition.

You're good. You're good, Sophie.

Sophie struggling again.

You're good.

Good job.

Wow.

Sophie fighting through a lot of obvious pain.

Way to dig deep.

As Savannah starts to smile.

-That's for your mom. -For your mom. Let's go.

For Brandon.

You got this. You got it.

Now Sophie digging back in, shaking that head.

As Savannah starts to struggle.

Think of Brandon.

Savannah's feeling it, too.

Hold it, Savannah. You're so good.

Oh, my...

Facial expressions don't mean anything.

Internal combustion is happening right now.

Everything in your body is fighting to stay on this.

Come on.

Come on.

Savannah, stay. Stay, stay, Savannah.

Come on.

Come on. Come on.

Sophie drops. Sophie's out.

Savannah wins the entire thing

for her group.

And Savannah has earned an individual advantage.

Whoo!

Savannah, Soph, Kristina,

Alex and Steven.

Immunity tonight.

- No Tribal Council. -You did it.

I'm so happy for you.

Meanwhile, Jawan, Rizo, Sage, MC and Sophie,

Tribal Council tonight.

Nobody's safe.

Somebody going home.

What a challenge.

Man.

- Huge effort. - I could hear you guys

- the whole time. Thank you. - You were amazing.

First of all, let me just say, that was a great showdown.

Sophie, I know you're disappointed,

but that's all you can give out here is all you got.

You clearly did.

The result is victory for Savannah.

- Well done, Savannah. - Thanks.

Great job, Savannah.

- Amazing job. - Amazing job, dude.

Here's what's gonna happen.

Savannah, Soph,

Kristina, Steven, Alex,

you're gonna go back to camp,

where you will have an afternoon of do-it-yourself sandwiches.

When the reward is over,

Savannah, you'll go to tree mail for your advantage

and no Tribal Council tonight.

What's that feeling right now for you, Savannah,

given that you said, before we went,

you were terrified of Tribal tonight?

Honestly, Jeff, the way that things went last night,

I thought that, if I didn't win today,

I would be the one who was going home.

And, like, I feel like I just needed this.

Also, like,

this is my one-year anniversary with my boyfriend today.

And, like, the whole time,

I was just thinking about him up there, and I could hear

people down here just saying, "Do it for Brandon."

And it just feels like I've always wanted to win immunity,

and it couldn't have come at a better time.

Great work, dude.

All right, Savannah, Soph, Kristina, Steven, Alex,

grab your stuff, head out.

Enjoy the afternoon.

-Guys, sandwiches? -And the cookies.

I forgot about the chocolate chip cookies.

Me, too.

All right, Sophie, Jawan, Sage, Rizo, MC,

you're going to leave here, and you're going

to go to the old Uli beach.

That means no communication

with the other five,

no eye signals, no checking in, nothing.

Sophie, what's going to happen this afternoon--

you are literally going to be on an island

with these four other people and then head to Tribal.

You know, this is a five that hasn't all ever been together

as a fivesome before.

And we're missing the other half of our tribe.

Right now my world has shrunk.

I have gone from a beach of ten. I'm just on a beach of five.

If you don't make it out of the beach of five,

it doesn't matter what plans you had

for those other five folks up there.

So, right now this is all I'm looking at.

All right, you're going to go to the old Uli camp.

I'll see you tonight at Tribal Council,

where somebody will be the ninth person voted out

and the second member of our jury.

Grab your stuff, head out.

I walked into the immunity challenge,

and I knew I had to win this.

The whole time, I'm just like,

"This is my day.

I'm going to turn my luck around today."

And coming from the bottom at the last Tribal Council,

I'm like, "This could not have happened to a better person.

I am so deserving of this."

Great job, guys.

That was a freaking tough challenge.

I'm sorry. Really.

Hey, you literally don't need to apologize.

Today is not my best day on Survivor.

I do not like to lose, but I especially

didn't want to lose today

because I didn't want to lose to Savannah,

and I felt so much pressure to win for my team.

Damn.

One person is going home tonight, and

it could be anyone because none of us are safe.

But, look, I'm down, but I'm not down and out.

I can bring in MC, Sage and Jawan,

and then we'll all vote Rizo.

But it gets complicated

because Rizo has an idol.

You guys need to tell him it's me.

Like, "This might be the only chance you can get Sophie out."

But, like, I don't want us to seem, like, way too, like,

"Oh, let's all get Sophie," like, 'cause it'll seem fake.

But, like, the reality is, I got second.

"What if she wins again?"

I feel like there's a case to be made here,

- and we'll all just vote Rizo. - Okay.

I mean, I am putting my game in your hands,

but I think it makes sense.

This plan could work. Him and Savannah--

- they are both dangerous. -Yeah.

So this is gonna be a big move.

Yeah. I think this could work.

So everybody vote Rizo.

Coming back to my old stomping grounds

with basically a one-in-five shot

of going home-- it sucks.

One in five is scary.

But we have myself,

Sage, Sophie and MC.

So you would think, "Hey,

easy breezy, Rizo's out of here."

The kicker is, my man still has his idol.

So our goal is

to make Rizo feel safe so he doesn't play his idol.

This is an opportunity to kind of rebuild trust again.

- Yeah. - If we come up with a name

and we stick to it, that would make me feel good

'cause I love both of you guys.

Are we thinking of leaning towards MC

- or Yellow Sophie? - I don't care.

Genuinely, whatever you want, I'll do.

Because either-or...

Here's where I stand.

MC hurt my feelings by not telling me information.

- Yeah. - So part of me feels like

- I can't trust her moving forward. - Yeah.

- On the other hand, Yellow Sophie's a badass. - Yeah.

She's going to be in every freaking challenge.

But she's going to come close.

My gut is telling us to do Yellow Sophie tonight.

Thank God that I rebuilt trust with Jawan

because I don't have to play my idol.

Here's the thing.

Nobody wants to go home with an idol in their pocket.

But being in tenth

or being in fourth makes no difference for me.

I'm here to win this game.

So if this is another risk

that I need to take to further myself in this game,

that's something I'm willing to do.

So, okay, here's the deal.

It will hopefully be the three of you on Rizo.

Ideally, he does not play his idol.

One asterisk is--

and I'm only telling this to you--

I will just throw one vote on Jawan.

If he plays his idol,

then it'll be a tie between me and Jawan.

And then it would be, we have to vote for you or Jawan?

- Yeah. - Okay, got it.

- I see. - Yeah.

Sophie mentioned to me she's putting a vote on Jawan,

just in case Rizo uses his idol.

But I also don't necessarily want to send Jawan home.

Because I played my idol last Tribal Council,

Jawan felt a little bit hurt that I didn't trust him,

but I do have that trust in him now,

so now it's my turn to show him that he can actually trust me.

Yesterday

- you showed me that I can trust you. - Mm-hmm. Yeah.

- So I'm going to tell you something... - Okay.

...to show you, like, you can trust me,

but it cannot go anywhere.

- Locked in. - Okay.

Goal is for Rizo to not play his idol.

- Yeah. Yes. - That's the primary goal.

- And we all vote him, right? - Yep.

And then he will probably put one vote on Sophie,

but Sophie is going to put a vote on you.

Hmm.

Gotcha.

That shook me to my core.

That made me realize

Sophie's here to play.

I saw my name written down one time.

I don't want to see it

written down again.

- After the tie... - Yeah.

...it would be us four having to choose

- between you or her. - Gotcha. Yeah.

- I don't want to send you home. - I appreciate that.

I don't want to send her home either.

- Yeah. - And I...

Like, this is... Like, literally,

like, me telling you this could blow up everything.

- I just wanted to let you know... - Yeah.

...there could be numbers on you.

- Thank you so much. I appreciate you. - Mm-hmm.

Sophie is up there

with the most dangerous people in this game.

Not only is she a physical threat.

Now she's throwing my name out.

I don't know if I want to play

with people that are on that speed.

She is a problem.

-Can we do a toast? -Oh, yeah.

Wait. Final nine, you guys.

Winning immunity and being safe

could not have come at a better time.

I feel so much relief.

For the first time, I can actually just breathe.

Plus,

Jeff told me that there is going

to be an advantage waiting for me at tree mail,

and I'm so excited.

But I'm also a little nervous, depending on what it could be.

Can you imagine having to scramble now?

- Oh, my God. - No. I know.

- It's going to be a mad dash. Like... -Yeah.

...are they going to go back to the Uli roots,

you know, of just, like, "Let's just stick together

for this one, like, and get on the same page"?

Half of our tribe-- they are going to Tribal Council tonight.

We don't know what to expect at this point.

And if they put all the votes on Rizo

and he plays his idol,

he can decide who goes home tonight.

- I wish we could go watch. -I wish we could see.

-I know. -Yeah.

I'll be honest.

I think it's going to be Sophie, too.

- Really? -Yeah.

I think Sophie just looks like the biggest threat.

- You think? -Yeah. -Yeah.

Sophie has been killing challenge after challenge,

and getting her out tonight

opens up immunity challenges for the rest of us.

She's a tough cookie.

Sophie going home tonight means better luck

for me moving forward, but people have to strike.

This is the chance to play Survivor.

And, hey, if I don't have to get any blood on my hands,

even better.

All right, well, I'm gonna go

- check tree mail. -Whoo! -Have fun.

Thinking about what this advantage could be.

Maybe it'll be a Steal a Vote, a Block a Vote, maybe

send someone an advantage at Tribal or something like that.

I have no idea what this could be.

Love this.

Oh, my gosh.

Been dying for some jewelry out here.

And I know it looks good.

All right.

Let's read this.

"Your advantage gives you the power

"at tonight's Tribal Council in the form of a vote.

"You will now join the losing tribe at their camp,

"where you may participate

in as many conversations as you want."

Oh, my gosh.

So, tonight I'm going over to the other group

that's going to Tribal Council,

and I'm going to join them with my immunity necklace.

And then I'll actually

have the opportunity to cast a vote.

"Then, when it's time to vote,

"you will enter the voting confessional

"with an important decision.

"Use this vote tonight to ensure the result you want,

or secretly save this vote for use at a future Tribal Council."

Dude, this is insane.

Tonight I have the option to either vote

or just pass it up

and save up this extra vote for a later date.

"The boat is waiting.

Get on it now."

This is exactly what I needed to turn my game around.

I deserve it.

Not only is it cool that I get to go

to the other Tribal Council.

It is especially satisfying with this group,

because after what they put me through

at the last Tribal Council,

this is my revenge.

This was a really great reward.

Like, it was filling and, like...

- This guy is, like, a lot. - Wait. Why is there a yellow...?

Wait.

- What? - Is she there? That's her, no?

- Wait. I'm confused. - That is Savannah.

Oh, that is her.

Wait. What?

Wait. Is she going to...?

- Where is she going? -Wait.

This is a huge night for me.

This is going to be so funny.

They have no idea what is in store for them.

They have no idea I'm coming

and that I'm coming with a vengeance.

What is going on, Savannah?

She'll put one vote on me.

She was trying to get me out.

Plan "A" was: take out Rizo.

But then MC told me that Sophie had a secret plan.

If Rizo played an idol,

she would have wrote my name down as a little

hinky vote to protect herself.

Her and Rizo are sharks.

I'm afraid of both of them.

And if we keep the wrong dangerous player,

they could really be the reason

why me and Sage will be in trouble in the future.

I don't think anybody's going to be mad

by seeing us take out Yellow Sophie.

They'll be like, "Oh, that makes sense.

She was so close to winning and everything."

And then we can double back on Savannah and Rizo

'cause they'll earn our trust.

We'll get them next time.

So that's where my gut is right now.

Jawan is just flipping all over the place.

I'm thinking we're still on the same page,

and he goes, "Think we need to keep Rizo."

And I'm like, "Crap, man, what do you mean?"

And if Jawan's not on board,

the plan doesn't work.

But I would much rather

stick with the original plan and get Rizo out.

I think Jawan's out.

MC told Jawan

that you were putting a vote on Jawan.

And so that made Jawan want to back out of the Rizo vote

and go you instead because he got spooked.

MC has blown up this whole freaking game.

I had the most perfect plan.

We were going to get rid of an idol

and somebody that we all don't want to work with.

I don't know if she's out to get me.

I don't know if it's her own paranoia.

But what I'm learning

is that I guess I can't trust MC.

I... I want to apologize for throwing your name out,

and I hope you can understand that.

Like, I-I do trust you and Sage.

- Yeah. - I have been as honest as I...

- Like, when you get me one-on-one... - Yeah.

...I'm not, I'm not bull... you. I'm telling you all the truth.

I, like... I'm coming clean

that, like, yes, my plan was like,

if ... goes sideways,

I want to, like...

- I want... I want insurance. - Honestly, I was like, "Damn."

I was like, "Hey, that sucks," you know?

- I thought MC really had my back. - Yeah.

And I'm just learning more and more that she maybe doesn't.

This is my darkest day on Survivor, but you can't

play a perfect game.

Everyone makes mistakes, and this is my biggest mistake,

and I'm just hoping it doesn't cost me my torch.

Oh, my God, it's a boat.

Really? You're joking.

- No. Like... -What?

No, no, nah, nah.

-Oh, my God. -Is that...? Who...?

Is that someone on the boat?

- That is... - Is that Savannah?

No.

I'm coming over like the Grim Reaper.

But like a hot Grim Reaper, you know?

Well, this is a Survivor first.

I'm coming over here,

ready, honestly, to cause some chaos.

What's up?

Hi.

- Yeah. - Welcome.

I'm happy to see you guys.

Do you mind if I join you for the night?

- Yeah. - Thank you.

A boat pulls up, and

who else is on it other than Savannah,

um, looking as lovely as ever?

And she's got this beautiful immunity necklace

around her neck.

If blindsiding Rizo was still an option before she got here,

it sure does make things more complicated,

'cause those two are, like, thick as thieves.

Towards the end of the meal, I went to go check tree mail,

and I saw the necklace there.

-Nice. -Nice. -I was thinking, I was like,

why didn't Jeff give you that earlier?

I know. I was thinking the same thing.

- Okay, I'm glad that you got it. - I know. Me, too.

- But it was just waiting up there, hanging out. - Okay, nice.

And then there was a note attached to it that said

I'm basically joining you guys for Tribal Council.

-Oh, my God. -You're voting, too? - Full stop.

- You're just a player with...? - I'm a player with you.

-Wow. -Oh. - Yeah.

- Oh, my God. -Yeah.

- Yeah. Mm-hmm. -My God.

-Nice. -Wow.

- Spicy. - I know.

This is horrible. Like, the two people

that I was literally gunning for yesterday--

one has an immunity necklace.

The other one has a hidden immunity idol.

And

I'm still not convinced

that Savannah doesn't have more advantage

than just simply showing up to Tribal.

Anything happen at the reward?

No, but I have the chance to vote tonight,

or I can save my vote.

Come on. Okay.

It just keeps on getting

better and better.

The fact that I don't have to use the idol.

And now the fact that my number one ally has an opportunity

to bank her vote.

It's almost like a Christmas miracle at this point.

And it almost feels surreal.

But I got to humble myself,

'cause tomorrow isn't promised.

Mm-hmm. That's fine.

Yep, exactly.

Everybody's common target is Sophie,

so why are we going to target someone

that other people want out?

Why are we doing their dirty work?

I'm going to flip the script

and put a target on MC's back.

If we took out Yellow Sophie now, who's next?

MC's going to have three people. You get what I'm saying?

But if we don't take out Yellow Sophie now,

she's a challenge beast.

She's not gonna win every single one, though.

I don't know, man. I do see what you're saying.

Yeah.

I feel like the biggest argument

to getting rid of Sophie is the fact

that she's this competition threat.

And to me, that's poor strategy.

Anybody can win a competition.

Savannah's won it.

Sophie is not the Terminator, okay?

Sage is telling me that she thinks

it's better for you and Sage's game to keep MC.

- Yep. - To me,

MC proved that she did not trust you and Sage

because she played her idol.

So,

in a game of trust, why would you keep someone

- who showed that they didn't trust you? - Yeah.

I think what you're saying makes a lot of sense.

I'm legit 50-50 on it now.

I need MC to be the vote tonight because

when I look at MC and I look at Sophie,

I look at their spiderweb of connections.

MC-- her web extends pretty wide.

Sophie's web of connections is genuinely nobody.

So what better way for me to get an ally in the next vote

than pick up Sophie

and just blindside MC?

- I'm gonna be honest. - Yeah.

Like, I want to vote with Jawan and Sage.

I'm gonna try to get them to vote MC out.

I hope we point at that direction.

Point at something in the future.

- And then you survive another day. - Yeah.

All of a sudden, Rizo,

who, in theory, should have been going home tonight,

is trying to take control of the vote.

So that's insane.

- This is me now saying to you, like... - Yeah.

...are you willing to work with me? - In the future.

- And then you survive another day. - Yeah.

He wants to be fluid

and work with different people.

Okay, sure, but his number one people

he wants to work with are all his old tribe.

So, like, whatever, taking that with a grain of salt.

If you all are writing MC's name down, I will go MC.

What I need to weigh is,

do I go with Rizo's plan to vote out MC,

or do I stick with the original plan

to all vote Rizo?

And then...

- Yeah, I would say that. - Okay. Okay.

And then, if he does play his idol, though,

then that falls on probably you or me, though.

Yeah. I know.

It's such a gamble.

Um, which is just...

I'm feeling weird energy, I'm not gonna lie.

I'm feeling weird energy.

- From you. - From me?

Yes.

I feel like you're gonna put my name down tonight.

Be real with me, girl.

I'm doing my best to

make sure I'm on the right side of the vote, but

the vibe around camp-- it's weird.

I feel like there's something going on,

and I don't think Sophie's telling me the truth.

I don't think it matters what I vote tonight.

- I mean, I... - Because I think

that they are... they are picking between us.

I don't... That's why I don't understand

why we're not sticking with the original plan.

Rizo is overly cocky, overly confident,

so I wouldn't be surprised if he doesn't play his idol, but

people could get spooked by that idol.

People could change their vote last minute.

Everyone wants to be here tomorrow.

Everyone has their own agenda.

We're in the individual game now.

It sounds like Rizo's going MC.

I think so, too...

And I want nothing more than to get Rizo out.

Me, too.

But with Savannah here now...

- Yeah. - ...you have to look at every little thing.

Tonight's vote

becomes a debate of: is it

Rizo, Sophie or MC?

If I could take matters into my own hands,

I would say, let's just put all the votes on Rizo

and hope that we get him and an idol out.

But Sophie-- she is a huge challenge threat,

and voting for her would do the least damage going back to camp

'cause everyone can see that Sophie's such a beast.

And then there's MC.

Last Tribal, she plays this idol that she didn't need to play.

So, to me, I'm seeing MC does not

trust me consistently.

You would think that having less numbers,

it would be easier to get on the same page,

but it seems like

everyone's on a totally different page right now.

And I don't even know

if I'm reading the same book as everyone.

And now bring in the first member

of our jury.

Wow.

Okay, let's start with today's immunity challenge.

The big twist was,

you're divided into two groups of five,

and only the losing five will go to Tribal.

Savannah, you have a completely different story.

You won the challenge today for your five.

You also won it for yourself.

Part of it was, you had an advantage.

- Explain to me how you ended up joining this group. - Right.

So, after I win our reward, our group eats.

I get... I go over to tree mail, and I see

this fantastic immunity necklace,

which honestly couldn't have come at a better time,

because I was previously in the minority.

And I get to basically be here for Tribal Council.

I get to have a say in this vote.

It's a big decision.

So, Sophie, what was this afternoon like?

Ooh. What a difference a day makes.

I went from sitting like Savannah,

I was on the right side of the votes,

I had just eaten.

Now I do not have safety at Tribal Council,

and I'm now at a beach without

a lot of the people who were in my alliance.

Now there's just this group of five.

We have three old Uli

plus Savannah, so it's tough.

So, Jawan, what happened

this afternoon when you all went back to the old Uli camp?

It's been a little bit rocky,

and today's been a little bit chaotic.

So I'm trying to stay cool and collected,

but just because I'm in the "majority," I...

I'm just gonna call a spade a spade.

I blindsided Rizo and Savannah.

Savannah isn't even supposed to be here.

So, even though we might have the majority,

I have to rebuild some relationships.

Rizo,

how'd you see this afternoon?

For me, truthfully,

and I mean this wholeheartedly,

even though Jawan, Sage and I didn't vote together last round,

I wanted to repair that.

So I was very open with everybody here,

and I said my intention tonight is to stick with them.

Sage, everybody's talking about the last Tribal,

- but that's a lifetime ago. -Totally.

This afternoon was tough, I'm not going to lie.

Like, Sophie and MC, like, they welcomed me with open arms.

You know, Rizo really seems like

he wants to do some repair and like,

"Hey, like, how can we all,

like, scratch each other's backs?"

And so, you get out here

and you form bonds,

and it freaking sucks, if I'm being honest.

So, Sophie, is it talked about as a group?

Do we have tribal lines or not?

Or is that something that's just never spoken about?

When originally

it was just the five of us,

there was maybe some room to maneuver.

We were trying some things, we were trying to wiggle around.

But with Savannah here now, it's feeling again

like this is a Hina-Uli vote.

And I'm a gambler,

but looking at those numbers-- it's scary.

MC, where do you sit on this?

- Do you agree with that? - Well, it kind of seems that way.

I know that, like,

me and Sophie started on Hina from day one.

And then we had a tribe swap,

and then we had another tribe swap.

And then I was with Savannah and Rizo.

And so I feel more in the middle,

and I've been trying to make sure

that I'm on the same page

as the majority of the people here.

But you also don't know who is lying to your face.

And sometimes energy changes, and you can tell

that someone's a little bit off,

and then you're like, "Okay, I'm in danger."

Rizo, Sophie talked about gambles.

You flaunted, at the last Tribal Council,

- having an idol. -Yeah.

Said you might play it, didn't play it.

Did anybody bring that up today?

Oddly, no, which,

for someone that has an idol, is scary,

because when people "blindside" people,

it's like, "Oh, my God, like,

"are they going to have a revenge arc against me?

"Like, do they just want me to feel comfortable

"and not play it,

and blindside it with me in my pocket?"

We've seen that so many times in the new era.

Jawan, Rizo just said,

"Maybe this is all one big snow job..."

- Yeah. - "...to get me out with my idol."

It could be.

And that would be super juicy.

As a fan, a giant blindside

with someone with an idol in his pocket would be crazy.

But I don't think that's gonna happen tonight.

Rizo, also something

somebody would say if this was theater.

Bro, no. No, don't listen to him.

Don't listen to Uncle Jeff.

Jeff, I will

just cut right to the chase.

Tonight, it's me or MC.

And I don't want to go home.

I want to make it to tomorrow. I'm not ready to give up yet.

I want to live to see another day.

Wow, MC.

- Sophie was just really clear. - Yeah.

From her viewpoint, it is

her or you.

Well, I'd like to say that

if you save Sophie,

Sophie is going to go back to the same people

that she voted with last Tribal.

And there's going to be another day

that you're like, "Damn. I wish we went ahead and did that,

because she keeps winning individual immunity."

So right now I'm really trying to just

trust in the people that told me to trust in them,

and I want them to know that they can trust me as well.

All right, Sophie,

what's your last pitch before people go up to vote?

It's funny because part

of my pitch is that I am a threat.

You will never have trouble getting people

to vote my name down.

I have seen it and I have heard it

basically since I started this game.

So use me. Use that to your advantage.

Let me play with you,

and we can work on the next vote together.

I want to work with all of you,

and I think I've been truthful with all of you.

I haven't lied to any of you.

This is not just me Hail Mary-ing

and then flipping back immediately tomorrow.

This is me putting my flag in the sand

that I intend to move forward with the four of you

after tonight's vote.

All right,

- it is... -Jeff.

Hey, guys. Um...

- Let me talk to y'all real quick. - Okay.

Sophie, how are you feeling right now, given

nobody's talking to you?

It doesn't feel great.

- Yeah. - Okay.

It feels like I am

the last person picked up from school.

But...

Apparently, my mom is here.

So I just want to...

First live Tribal, season 49.

Dude, I'm so glad I have this.

All right. It is

time to vote. Sophie, you're up.

Psych. I'm not voting tonight.

I'm going to save this vote for when I actually need it

and when my butt's on the line.

Okay, this is hard.

What a night.

And, mother of pearl, what the ... just happened?

Whoa.

Dude, what the hell?

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-- MC.

Sophie. We're tied. One vote-- MC, one vote-- Sophie.

MC.

That's two votes-- MC, one vote-- Sophie.

Ninth person voted out and the second member of our jury--

MC. That's three. That's enough.

Need to bring me your torch.

-Good game, MC. - Good game, MC.

There's no way we could beat you.

Thanks, y'all.

- Good game. Good game. -Good game.

- Good game. -You went out swinging.

- MC, the tribe has spoken. - Thank you so much.

- Time for you to go. - Thank you.

- Bye, guys. -Good game.

- Good game. - Bye, MC. - Bye.

Wow.

Grab your torches, head back to camp.

Good night.

Next time on Survivor...

Wow. What a battle.

These people are literally obsessed with me.

He's coming for you, bro.

Hard.

This is not your game, this is mine.

This experience has been absolutely everything.

Although I wish I had more of a chance

to try those individual challenges

just to see how I would do,

I know people saw me as a physical threat

and that made them want to vote me out.

I just proved to myself that I'm able to do hard things.
