Original subtitles

16 Americans forced to abandon ship in the middle of the South China Sea.

Marooned for 39 days.

They must work together to build shelter, find food, and survive the

island. But ultimately, it is everyone for themselves.

Every third night, they will hike deep into the jungle to take part in the

tribal council where they must vote one of their own off the island.

In the end, only one will remain.

and will leave the island with $1 million in cash.

Last week on Survivor, tensions at Tagi Tribe were on the rise.

You guys wasted three days fishing during the day. I don't think it was a

waste. Did you catch anything?

No, ma'am. It was a waste of time then.

It's expected to get on each other's nerves.

While at Pagan, the mood was downcast.

I think the camp looks trashy. Something's going to have to happen to

make... Everybody decided to pitch in. But at the reward challenge, Pagong

rebounded by winning a special food prize.

Chicken! Are you chickens?

So awesome, we got chickens.

And a romance began to bloom.

Colleen has joined me in the forest to sleep.

I noticed they seem to be spending their nights out in the stars, and it gets a

little romance going on.

It's all about sex.

Back at Tagi, Dirk was running on empty.

You're lurking like hell.

I definitely lost a lot of muscle mass, a lot of strength.

And his tribe thought they had the immunity challenge wrapped up.

Apparently we need one rower and the rest of us swimming.

I'm a commercial whitewater raft guide. I know Jervis can't swim.

My guess is that they're going to put him in the boat rowing. I could beat him

any day of the week. But their overconfidence cost them dearly.

I got beat by a guy who can't even swim.

Their loss sent them back to tribal council where the voting alliance reared

its ugly head. Dirk, tribe has spoken.

Eleven castaways remain.

Who will be voted off tonight?

Stay 16 on the island the survivors are starting to plan for their future until

now the two tribes have been adversaries They built

separate societies and have established their own routines But in the game of

survivor everything must change Three days from now the two tribes will be

forced to merge into a single new tribe Will they continue to vote along old

tribal lines after the merger, or will it be everyone for themselves?

This week's episode finds the impending merger on everyone's mind.

We're having a paganda.

We're laying around doing nothing.

This is an interesting point in the game right here, right on the verge of the

merge.

Two nights before we merge.

It's an interesting time.

Change is coming, as they say.

I think it'll be cool when we merge.

I think they're nice people. I don't think they're taking this.

Seriously.

They're playing Island 90210.

They think that they're going to go to their little mud volcano and give each

other facials and they don't need to really do anything because they're just

here to look cute on TV. I don't know.

They better send them with some supplies.

That's all I can say.

There's three of them that we need out of here. Right.

Greg, definitely.

He's just way too psychotic.

The other one is Speedball.

Jenna. She can get old pretty quickly.

Yeah, she's going to grow old real fast on us.

Jarvis. He's a pervert.

He's gone.

And the chickens all better be dead because they're going to be dead when

they get here.

One hour to chicken time. T-minus one hour.

We're going to wait until about another hour, and then we're going to chop their

head off.

We'll take the little nasty one first.

And pull out all their feathers.

I think not everybody wants to participate in the chopping of the head.

I can't. I mean, come on. It's a little good.

There's not going to be a trace of that thing on Earth.

I don't have any emotional attachment. From the moment I saw them, they were

food. They never were pets to me. I don't enjoy killing things. It's not

like a thrill to kill something, but anybody who eats meat has to realize

that somebody killed that. Someone's killing it for you.

I don't want to watch it die.

I want to have it put on my plate and put in front of me.

I'm missing food the most. I mean, I could go for some chicken right now. Any

kind. Bait, fry, I don't care.

Food. Go ahead.

One, two, three.

I didn't like to ignore that whole aspect of the food chain.

The whole death part.

If you're going to be upset about this, then you should be a vegetarian, because

this is how every animal starts out.

Oh, we're going to eat three chickens in three days, because we want to eat them

before we merge tribes.

We don't want them getting any of our chickens.

Besides, one of them was pecking the hell out of me. It is the one that was

pecking me?

Sweet justice.

I've interacted with the chickens as little as possible. I'm not petting

them, putting them on leashes, taking them for walks, naming them, and, you

know, calling them my very own. It does no good to befriend dinner.

I've never gone through the process of feeding a chicken, watering a chicken,

then butchering a chicken.

Yum.

I can smell the grease and it's going to fry and it's going to bubble.

Mmm,

dinner.

Chicken!

Yeah, we're lucky now.

Very, very good.

Oh my God.

Got my greasy flavor back in my mouth.

People were happy before I know that the nutrition hit their bodies. It was, I

think, the first really recognizable piece of protein that people have had

that, you know, everybody kind of knew what it was and make you feel like you

chewed on something.

I think

mentally the chicken was more important than it was

physically. I mean, we have three chickens.

After we're done eating those, we're back on track.

It's funny when I hear, how come you're naked all the time? I'm naked less than

1% of the time. I'd like to be naked all the time. That would be smarter in this

100-degree weather.

Rich is naked.

Is he naked?

He walks around naked quite a bit. I think it probably bugs some of the guys.

Seems kind of childish and immature to me and kind of grandstanding and walking

around on national TV.

Your life, my life, different things. Who cares? Something like that.

He runs around pretty often with clothes on and he don't think nothing of it.

Peachy. I couldn't care less whether guys or girls are around. It doesn't

make any difference.

There's any horny gay man out there that want a horny guy in return. I know one.

Naked isn't sexual to me and it doesn't.

I don't think of it that way. It doesn't faze me that way. So, no, I'm pretty

comfortable naked.

I don't agree with his lifestyle, and I told him that, and he probably don't

agree with mine.

But anyway, we got to work together up until this merger anyway.

There's money at stake. We're all trying to win the pot.

I finally went along with this alliance, and if I didn't, I'd be out of here

probably the next vote or the one after.

I think with an alliance that we establish here, we can do very, very

well. If you don't, you're out. Exactly. Tell me what option you have, Rudy.

I've been trying to support keeping Rudy from day one.

I want to bring him along to the next round where he won't care much and

probably will get voted off before winning.

You think they wouldn't do it to us? No, of course they wouldn't. I don't think

somebody's in control of our group in particular.

I think...

I'm in control of who's being voted off.

And I think that's all that matters to me.

It's a beautiful day in the neighborhood.

A beautiful day for a neighbor.

Would you be mine?

Would you be mine?

Morning, Greg.

Morning, Gretchen.

I made a totally dumb statement now that I regret.

You know, it was kind of just a poke at the girls.

Give him a little shot. He sets it up first with, don't take offense to this,

but women are the stupidest things on the planet next to cows.

Girls are the stupidest thing on the planet next to cows, was the remark.

You called us stupid.

Not me. Don't get me in this.

The whole context of the story was, we were talking about relationships and how

God and girls will do stupid things if you like the person.

I never got around to the stupid things guys do. If you like somebody that much,

you'll do something stupid for them that you should maybe not do.

We're not as stupid as that.

We're a step above.

Well, I said, you know, Jervis, I told those girls that all they had to do was,

like, when they write your name on that piece of paper and hold it up to the

camera, they can look straight into the lens and go, no.

And his mouth dropped open like he had never considered that maybe that was not

the best thing to say to a woman who had that much power over him.

No, I'm being very apologetic because it was stupid. I mean, after I said it, you

know, after I said it.

He's like in this box with no freaking way out.

Blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.

If you let him talk long enough, they'll probably get you out of the box.

They're good for that.

Jervis is, he's on a free ride, man.

He's untouchable.

I don't know how he gets through.

He calls the women cows.

He doesn't do stuff half the time.

I haven't done a thing out here since I've been here, it seems like.

And that's cool.

Joel does the fishing. He does the paddling.

I'm just out there hanging on the raft with him.

The expert fisherman that I am.

When they built that hut on the beach, I was nowhere near there.

I was in the shade somewhere, you know, I was looking for a coconut or

something.

I think everybody is done cooking rice at one point in time. I have yet to cook

anything.

I didn't see him do anything yesterday.

But that is nothing new, and that surprises me that I still haven't voted

for Jervis.

He doesn't seem to pull his own weight, and I know for a fact that he voted

against me. So why the hell have I voted for him? I don't know.

I knew coming here was all about charm and personality.

That will get me through.

His charm does get him through, you know?

But he hasn't been so charming today, so maybe he's going to get the vote.

The Tagi tribe has lost the last two reward challenges, and they're growing

more hungry each day.

But tonight, there is another reward challenge for food.

My guess is this is a clue.

There once was a base on this island where the soldiers were known for

stockpiling. The armies left town, but their stuff's still around.

Move fast, and you may go home smiling.

Oh, there's food in here.

We'll be able to eat it for dinner. Come on. It's still dinner time.

Never know. What do you think it is? Yeah. Smell anything yet?

I can't sleep.

Stewed tomatoes. That'll suck.

Looks like dog food. Looks like dog food.

Dog food.

That's what I said right away.

Smells good, dog food. That is definitely dog food. Let me see.

And it's orange dog food. Come on, dog food. Yeah, it smells like meat stew.

Come on, just taste it.

Just taste a little bit.

You don't want some? No.

Ew. Yeah. Go, Red.

Ew.

Wow. All right.

Yeah.

It might be ravioli.

Could be some natural thing to the island, man.

Larvae and tomato sauce. Nice. I know.

We don't know if it's even his food. Maybe it's water.

I think it's chili.

I mean, I could think it would be dog food.

I think it might be dog food. We've just eaten good chicken. I'm not going to

ruin that chicken with damn dog food.

Go for it.

You're eating a chow chow.

No, I would say elbow.

Make your coat nice and shiny.

Yeah, your hair will look good. Take a taste. Be a man.

Put your finger in there and eat it.

Are you going to eat it with me?

Oh, cool.

That's gravy, actually.

You'll want to cook it the whole way.

It's just dog food. What if it's dog?

I choose my preservatives and chemicals wisely, and that really would have

thrown everything off balance.

I just don't recognize most of it. I don't recognize any of it, actually.

Over saltines, it's like pate.

It's fatty.

Your standards definitely, definitely take a dive when you come to a situation

like this. When you get hungry, you'll eat anything.

I took a good four or five bites, and I'm good.

You? Yeah, I'm done. You're done.

At tonight's reward challenge, we're going to find out just how motivated our

hungry tribes are.

During World War II, this area was a hotspot of military activity.

So, the premise of this challenge?

Fleeing troops have just abandoned their barracks and left behind some very

useful items.

Two can openers, two pocket knives, and two army helmets.

One member from each tribe will go in together. You'll have a flashlight.

You'll look for these items. You can only find one item per person.

You come back out, you hand off the flashlight, which sort of acts like a

baton, to the next person, and they go in.

Be careful. If you bring back a duplicate item, your tribe will be

disqualified.

There's a little bit about what you're playing for tonight.

We've got some good canned food.

Peas, some tuna, a little dessert.

Is that chocolate? That is chocolate.

First try back with all the items on the list wins.

You guys ready?

All right, we're ready.

Go!

All right, all right. Hey, don't knock her down.

I got the army home.

What do I do?

Take a left. I got the army home.

One can opener.

Pocket knife.

I got the pocket knife. Okay. I can't open her. I can't open

her. I can't open her.

Tough break.

You thought you had the can opener. You actually had the second knife, Pagong's

knife. It goes to them. That's your three items. Victory for Pagong. Yeah!

It's over.

Yeah!

Yeah! Yeah!

Chocolate!

Not for you!

Come on, 49.

Zoggy, sorry, once again, it's a winner take all.

Pagong? Once again, you're taking all.

Some MREs, some canned food, and this, which you might want to keep away from

the fire because it will melt very fast.

There goes the midnight snack.

We are so close right now to being in the final six. People here, it's right

there. Now it's looking like this is actually going to happen.

One of us can actually walk away with a million dollars out of our team.

One more win, and it's in the bag.

When they do merge these tribes, if we're not sticking together as a team,

they're just going to pick us off one by one. I just know it's going to happen.

Tomorrow, all of us have to say either yes, we're going to stick together, or

no, we're not.

We have to win the next immunity challenge bad.

We have to really concentrate and win.

We need six and they need four so we can vote them off. We can stick together

really as Pagans still and just wipe them out. Just pick them off one by one.

Helene, she says that she does not want to vote anybody in our team off until

all of their team is gone. We want to stick together. Jenna also has said that

she is not going to vote anybody in our team off.

Greg said openly that he's not going to vote anybody in the team off.

Jervis has said it openly.

I've said it numerous times openly.

I've never heard Gretchen say, I want to keep this team together.

What do you think, Gretchen?

I don't see myself joining a voting alliance. But if it's somebody that I'm

thinking of voting off, that would be great.

I'll vote along with everybody else.

If we win and we go in with an advantage, we just all got to stick

together, stay as a team like we've been doing all the while.

Joel seems to be ignoring the fact that...

We have one more immunity challenge before we combine the tribes, and if we

lose it, somebody's being voted off.

And he talks way too much about what he's going to do when the tribes are

combined, the strategy, the combination.

What if he doesn't make it to the combining of the tribes?

I know that ladies' man has irritated every woman in those tribes.

I'm not a chauvinist. I believe that a woman can do anything a man can do.

Joel thinks he's the all-American, and all of these physical challenges are

just feeding his ego.

Go ahead. If you want to compete with me, I'm fine with it.

I haven't wrecked anything. I haven't broken anything. I haven't lost any

competitions. You know, he's Golden Boy. He's Mr. January. He's going to have a

calendar.

He's Captain America, really.

I can't really think of anything that I've done that's bad.

Towards those ladies, he seems to be pretty condescending, like...

He has to explain everything so thoroughly that we just couldn't

understand it without Joel. Throw it over there and then kind of tie it to

one of these things. Yeah.

Let's just try it like this first. I know that gamey taste is going to be

pretty harsh.

I don't see why he feels the need to treat us like we're children. I wouldn't

pry with that. I wouldn't pry with the tip of that thing.

Do we have a butter knife over there?

He is.

Full of, don't do this, put it here, do that, watch out, da-da-da. Well, then

get up and do it.

You can't be a woman who's strong enough to volunteer to come here and take what

comes. You want me to get that for you?

And then overlook a comment like he doesn't trust you to cook the rice.

Have we been throwing the water and the rice in there all at one time?

Yeah. Why?

I just want to use it at home. I boil the water and then I fill the rice.

A woman just is not capable of doing the things as good as he is.

We'll go without some rice for a little while and it'll be okay.

And it took us a while to even bring it up to each other, but once we did, it's

like, oh, you feel that way too? And I know that, you know, all three of us are

feeling that.

All right, I said what I said.

I'm totally square with everything across the board, whatever anybody

thinks. But no, I indefinitely am not a chauvinist.

For the last immunity challenge before the merger, an official U.S. Army

obstacle course has been constructed by the Green Berets.

Hey, Rudy.

Look what I did.

I was surprised when I seen the two special forces guys come down the beach.

At first I thought they were British Marines, but they were American.

Good evening, ladies and gentlemen.

Your orders here. Mission statement.

Should answer all the questions.

Oh, it's a baby, Rudy.

It's Operation, man.

Snake Island obstacle course. Come on, Rudy, this is you.

I can do the obstacle course, but not as fast as I used to.

And it's only going to be, the winner's going to be as fast as your slowest

person.

So maybe I can be one of the girls.

Appreciate you. Thank you.

I have the orders for tomorrow's challenge.

I want you to read through them. Make sure you understand exactly what's

expected of you tomorrow.

I wish you all the best of luck.

Go in there with a good positive frame of mind, good attitude.

Thank you.

We're all going to be excited, hyped up. I want them to challenge us and push us.

You know, make us work hard for this victory.

Because, I mean, we're coming full steam ahead at it.

Day 18 on the island.

For the past few days, the tribes have had their minds on just one thing, the

merger. Tomorrow, the two tribes become one.

Nobody can predict the impact of unification.

As new alliances will form, strategies will change.

That makes today's immunity challenge critical.

If Tagi loses, they enter the merger outnumbered by Pagong six to four and

could then be eliminated by a Pagong voting alliance.

We're thinking we can do this.

On the other hand, if Pagong loses, the tribes will merge even at five members

each.

Joel and Jenna will run the first half of the course for Pagong, Sean and Kelly

for Tagi.

They will meet their two fellow tribe members, Rich and Susan for Tagi, and

Gretchen and Greg for Pagong at an obstacle called Blown Bridge.

All four will negotiate this obstacle.

and then race to the finish line where the tribe members who are not

participating in the race, Rudy for Toggy and Colleen and Jervis for Pagong,

are waiting to cheer them on.

Survivors ready?

Go!

Come on, Joel, pick up the paint, baby.

The blown bridge requires them to now stop and think because this obstacle

involves strategy.

The runners are carrying the instructions on how to proceed.

Each tribe is given four boards of various lengths.

The object?

Use the boards to move all four tribe members across the pylons without

touching the sand.

We're still shifting boards around.

Guys, too short, too short.

It doesn't matter if they're ahead of you, just take your time.

Watch your hands.

Okay, go ahead now. Get up, get up, get up.

It's what, killing?

Okay.

You guys, give me something else. Come on, come on. Pick it up and hand it this

way, quick.

One more to go. Never panic, never panic, never panic.

Don't worry about it. You don't worry about it.

We possibly could be ahead.

Toggy has won and must now paddle out to Snake Island to retrieve the immunity

idol. Look for the snakes, you'll find the idol. The snakes will find the idol.

Yes.

Who counted the chickens?

Well, the thing is, we're coming back after the challenge. You know, I'm sore.

You know, we lost, tired, beat up. Coming back here, thinking, right, we're

going to have some chicken.

Coming up the trail, and what do I see? I come around the box.

And that little one was still there.

Had his head stuck in the side of the box.

Just pulling, and I yelled, and he took off.

The monitor got the biggest meal of the day. I mean, that monitor ate twice as

much at one meal that I've eaten since I've been to this island, man. Totally

ate my chicken.

They are vicious, vicious, vicious animals. I mean, they look so docile,

but wow.

We're not throwing away.

That's half the chickens there.

I guess.

Poor,

poor dinner.

It's all right, though, guys. It's okay.

If you boil it long enough, you can eat anything.

And it's already been tenderized and gutted and decapitated. So half the work

is done.

I don't like going to tribal council.

Really?

Really.

The tribal council is a necessary part of the game, but it's the nasty part of

the game. It's the part that I enjoy the least and that I could do without.

I don't know who's going to go. It could be anybody.

I've seen how Jenna acted the last couple of times when she voted against

somebody. She really didn't want to look at him or talk to him. She shows guilt,

and she's really been avoiding me the last couple of days.

I know who my vote is, and it would be Joel.

But I can't speak for the rest of the tribe. I got a vote last time, so maybe

I'll be off.

Oh, there's our three aces.

Jervis, he's just as chauvinistic as Joel is. God, he just hides it better.

Oh, are you joking?

Gotcha.

I want to vote for him at the next tribal council because he voted for me,

and I'm starting to just have these little conflicts with him.

Oh, my God.

This game is much too vicious for my blood.

I'm going to be back at home and be like, God, it's so easy.

It doesn't feel like we're going to go to tribal council and vote one person

off. It feels like this is the end of our survivor run here, and we're all

about to go back to our lives, and I won't talk to these guys.

I think this stuff is going to pass by us.

Okay, another night of reckoning at Tribal Council.

So tonight's agenda is the same as always at Tribal Council. You guys will

have to vote off one member.

So before we get to that, Joel, were you surprised to lose today?

You know, I don't know if we were really surprised. I mean, I knew that we were

physically stronger and faster. We pushed as hard as we could today and

came up a little bit short this time.

It's no big secret about the...

comments that were made regarding women in comparison to an animal.

God, those cows.

What was your take on that, Gretchen? It's being made light of here, but from

what I gathered, it wasn't necessarily taken all that lightly.

I wasn't there for the initial conversation.

They were storytelling at night, I think, and I don't really believe that

Jervis... Oh, were we not supposed to say this?

Come on!

What do you mean, come on? You didn't say it?

You know, Jeff, I do not even recall saying these words.

Oh, my God. And you know what? You know what, Jervis? Right now is when they're

going to play you saying the words.

It sounds so much like Joel, though. When I listen to it, it sounds so much

like Joel. Don't let me offend you or anything, but women are the stupidest

things. Well, to clear it up, from your guys' take on it, Jenna,

Did you link Joel in that group also? I got linked into this somehow. I have no

idea. It was this thing.

It kind of linked him. I don't know. It's all right.

Whatever.

Jervis, last time I asked you if anybody here felt invincible, you were the first

one to pipe up. You said, I'm not going anywhere.

Still feel that way tonight?

I refuse to answer that question on the ground.

My invincibility may be affected by that.

So that's a yes.

Yes!

I'm feeling real good tonight.

Why?

Just because, man.

I don't know what it is. I mean, it might just be me, but I'm feeling good.

Anybody here want to own up to feeling a little uncertain about their future in

the next five to ten minutes?

It's time to vote.

Joel?

I just, uh, had a vote.

I picked Joel for two reasons, both small ones. He seems a bit condescending

to women, and it makes it difficult to work with. And two, he seems to have the

most money of anybody, so I think he needs to win less.

There's no good reason why, but it's got to be for somebody, and that's what I'm

going with for now.

And he's a little too condescending towards us ladies.

Moo.

Just a step above a cow.

On the island, fire represents life here at Tribal Council. Your torches

represent your life, your identity.

Directly across from you are the five torches from the first five people voted

off. Tonight, one of your torches will be added to that group.

I'll go tally the votes.

Let's read the votes.

First vote.

Joel.

Jenna.

Joel.

Jenna.

Two votes for Joel, two votes for Jenna.

Joel.

Last vote.

Joel.

The tribe has spoken.

It's time for you to go.

Goodbye.

To the rest of you guys, a whole new ballgame tomorrow.

Two tribes will merge into one. You can head back to your camp.

We'll talk tomorrow.

Goodnight.

Next week on Survivor, the two tribes merge into one. I think it'll be

interesting. I think it'll set up a whole nother set of interpersonal

dynamics. This group is going to work out so well, the whole ten. This new

group is like, it's like a banquet.

Personally, it's a pain in the ass. If you want to win this money, you got to

get a little dirty.

I wish I could have made it a little longer.

I think maybe the girls on the team maybe had a little inferiority complex

that they took some of these remarks wrong.

They think I'm a chauvinist. I'm definitely not. I mean, so that is my

main regret, that I'm going to leave here and I got, you know, four people

that think I'm a chauvinist.
