Original subtitles

Sixteen Americans marooned for 39 days in the middle of the South China Sea.

Separated into two tribes, Tagi and Pagong, they competed against each other

to remain on the island.

But now the tribes have merged into one.

Rotana is the name, and it is everyone for themselves.

Every third night, the entire tribe 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, one will remain and will leave the island with $1 million in

cash.

Last week on Survivor.

The stakes were raised for the castaways as the two tribes merged into one.

There was a lot of baggage that we left on that Pagong beach.

The members of Pagong were upbeat as they paddled to their new home at Tagi

Beach. I'm excited to go to their camp.

meet new people rich came out and was like hey how are you you know he swam

out which was really nice they welcomed us with open arms but the toggy alliance

was a wolf in sheep's clothing after gretch jenna i was thinking sean

rudy wasn't happy with the new ratana tribe all of a sudden we doubled our

population personally it's a pain in the ass greg won the first immunity talisman

ensuring that only he could not be voted off at tribal council

Sean began his alphabet voting strategy, and to the surprise of many, it was

Gretchen who was ousted. Oh, my God.

It's me.

Nine members of Ritana are left. Tonight, one more will go.

Today is like day 22.

We had a vote last night, which is always pretty beat. I always put this in

a pretty somber mood.

Last night was a very strange vote.

Last night it looks like there was a conspiracy.

And maybe I'm being paranoid and I didn't want to believe it, but four

people from Tagi voted for Gretchen, I think.

You know, the bloodbath has begun. You know, people have started taking it.

a different way, because there's really no good reason other than strategy to

vote Gretchen off.

Gretchen distinctly disliked this part of the game.

This was her hardest thing, was voting people off.

And the part that she liked the most was the survival aspect.

I really don't know what happened last night. At first sight, it looks like

they just picked Gretchen off.

I think that my former team, Coggy, probably formed an alliance against what

they perceived as their strongest member of Pagan, which is Gretchen.

It was my idea to get rid of Gretchen because I thought that she was going to

be the next leader.

She had to go because she is bright and is strong, and

she was a threat.

The duplicity of the whole thing is pretty bad because I think that people

went out of their way to befriend her.

And those are the people who subsequently voted against it. Yeah,

that's the game. Yeah.

If you want to play that one. This is a game. Don't take it personally.

You know, people came here to make, you know, bosom buddies and, you know,

lifelong friends. They should have gone to summer camp.

I think really if it happens again, then you can say for sure there's an

alliance. But if it does, I'm more determined than ever to bust that plan

up and still kill them all and win, you know.

As far as Pagong, we are now four.

They are now five.

They do have a voting block on us, whether we see it or not. And they can

pick us up one by one.

Cool. My best strategy is to bond with the women and try to hold on

to the women's vote as long as I can.

I'm so excited, guys. I don't care if you vote me off, though.

Because I made it to my cut-off point. I made my cut-off point. There ain't no

girls going for a while, you guys.

Thanks, Sue. That makes me feel better.

The women seem to be getting along well because the women are all workers.

Actually, I like Jenna better than I thought I would. I thought she would

drive me wild, and she doesn't.

Don't worry.

The guys' days are numbered. They are numbered. Us girls are here

for a while. Trust me. We'll be up at the end.

i do see the woman versus man vote continuing on in matana as far as my

three votes top they're all men oh god you guys

i see the women go out get the crab traps the woman fix the hut we're

carrying the weight of the team maybe that's unfair but that's how i see it

As far as the women becoming an alliance, there's a chance that the

girls might want to have an alliance after there's a few more guys knocked

off. If they do, I'll just lead on with them like, yeah, that's a good idea. But

as far as the women forming an alliance and making one, no, it ain't going to

happen. I already got mine. I like mine.

We're all hungry, and we're low on energy, and there's still no one else

providing any food except for Rich.

And we're having to ration the rice.

You don't have to put both bowls on right now, Rudy. That's what I'm saying.

He's stubborn.

I ain't stubborn.

I'm going to eat if everybody's going to eat. Okay, okay. I ain't above eating.

And having nine people, everything gets smaller again. The rice pot got smaller.

The sleeping quarters got smaller.

So four or five bags. So it's four bags there, so we got eight meals there.

So that's four days.

Oh, no, that's only two days. Two days.

So a can's only going to last us two days?

We're eating that much.

Oh. We have to ration it then.

Give me that. I don't care. We should make three pots tonight. We should make

two pots twice a day. When we go over there to eat, I think the majority will.

Yeah, two pots a night.

I wish some of the other people would start conserving a little more, the

people that are being pigs.

And I've come, I said, I'll only eat one ball at a sitting. I'm planning on

staying to the end, so I really want to have something for the last couple days.

We have our fisherman, it's Rich.

That's Rich's job.

Oh, wow, two?

Four. Four?

What a catch. A ray, a parrotfish, a catfish, and a nice little nurse shark.

Baby's going to have some protein today.

Yes.

Craig, Sean have gone out to try the spearfish. They've got nothing.

I'm not going to do any better than they will. You know, and I think Rich is in a

great position.

We don't eat.

As

far

as who voted for me at the Tribal Council last night,

and I'm not certain who it is, I'm thinking it was probably Greg, who felt

threatened by me.

Could have been any of them.

I've only been with them a day or two, and I've not brought in any fish.

Next one.

Today, on the other hand, I brought in a huge catch.

Three rays. They just lapped that up.

That one's pretty mean. Yeah. Well, let's make them dead soon so they can

stop suffocating. Yeah.

Ah!

You don't? I mean, there's no other humane way to do that?

Yeah, you can. That seems pretty humane to me right through its brain.

I could eat rice for 17 more days. I could eat rice the whole time, but

they're loving the fish, and it seems to make people feel great, and I squeeze

every ounce of credit out of it that I can.

Susie Koo, look at that, please. I know. I said they look beautiful.

Dang, Rich, those rays look really good.

Well, very proud of you, Richie.

That's the most fish we've had. Go ahead.

You're going to like that.

Watch Susie perk up. She just gets a little protein and she's back in the

race.

Rich is playing a big game. I think Rich thinks he's very clever. He has a lot of

things going on in his mind that he selectively decides what he will share

and with whom.

Fear comes from... It's useless. I think religion is what destroys our society.

Whoa. I think it's the reason people treat other people as if they're lower

than them. So, Rich, that's ground shaking.

I'm not sure how Greg sees me. I'm trying to figure out whether or not he's

trying to build an alliance or pull me in or make me like him in some way. It's

kind of weird. It's good and bad.

You should give it a go.

Good, thank you, buddy.

Don't give that stuff to me with those funny faces.

I'm seeing Greg in a much more devious way than I've ever seen him before.

Since we moved, I saw him change so much and so transparently, to me

anyway, that I've changed my whole attitude towards Greg.

This game is interesting in that you make friends with people, you make

alliances, and then you're going to have to cut them loose at some point.

Greg is working just about everybody in the group. I think he's always had

Colleen wrapped around his little finger. It's not like that. I mean,

honestly, if there was a girl here who I got along with really, really well, it

would be the same thing that way.

I feel like I have a friend and I have somebody who's my equal that I can

actually have a conversation with.

Yesterday night was not fun. No. I'm voting for you next time.

Fine. See what happens.

You're voting for me.

This is the game.

You bring this little kitty along.

You have your little kitten. And you pet your kitten. And you enjoy this kitten.

And the kitten sleeps with you every night. And then you're hungry, man. You

look right in the kitten's eye and snap its neck. It's nothing personal. You're

hungry. The kitten has to give its life for the next level.

What is it about your pet cat?

My pet kitten.

Your pet kitten.

It's you, kitty.

I see him as being a chameleon.

changing his colors to fit whoever he's around.

He's certainly interacted with me in an incredibly interesting way that suggests

to me that he's trying something that I'm very, very wary of, and that's

great.

Rich finds Greg attractive.

So Rich, there would be little innuendos out there, and Greg will just pick right

up on him, sit right real close to Rich, and he's playing.

Orgy, Greg?

Orgy? Yeah. Sure.

You have? Oh, not right now? You thought it was an offer?

Greg and Rich have joked around a lot. We were talking one night, and Rich was

getting real personal about his business, and Greg was all in it. You

guys have never been with another guy?

No.

I mean,

just, you know, that's what freaks me out about the whole Orgy situation.

There's so many names you can say.

I think Rich likes to flirt with everybody, and instead of directly

shutting him down, I only played his game back.

He's the shy one on tape. I didn't expect that.

Too many guys in it.

He's manipulative. He's trying to win me over in some way. He's just not going

about it in a bright enough way for me.

I would like to spend more time with him and get to know him, but I would also

rather have the million dollars than to have somebody like him around to worry

about.

What the hell is that?

Oh, boy.

Oh, wait.

With a skill to carve the arc, man your aim, be true, and find its mark.

Archery is the sport of kings. A reward from home is what victory brings.

Oh, my, my.

I'm never going to win anything around here.

Got a little bit of a clue.

You know, if it has anything to do with something from home.

I'd like Jenna to win it. Thank you, Sean. I hope it's my pictures.

They might have our family send a care package or something, everybody, and

they'll just give you the care package. The reward is going to be something from

home, and Jenna's thinking it's our pictures that we got to bring, and she

really, really, she misses her daughters terribly.

Aren't you excited?

I love this stuff.

I'm going to go home and be like, oh, I got to do clothes now.

Wow. Okay, Jenna, way over.

And it's guys against girls because this is very even because these bow and

arrows and these arrows are, none of them are straight.

Keep your finger over it.

Okay, put it straight up.

Even if you want to, keep it at an angle.

I think it's Jeff. I think it's Jeff. Bringing news of the competition, I bet.

All right, Jeff.

It better be something really good.

Hold on, we'll see. I'd rather have food than anything. I would so much rather

have food.

Probably is a refrigerator, but what are we going to refrigerate? Our rice?

Maybe it's got food already.

Ice cream sandwich?

Perfect.

Okay, now before we begin today's reward challenge, I'm going to show you some

short clips of videos sent from home.

The winner of the archery contest gets to watch their entire video.

With that, I give you this, a little something from home.

Okay, a little something from home. That's cool.

Hey, Dad, I hope you're doing very well.

That's my kid.

I'm doing pretty well.

I hope.

You come back with a million, like I said in my letter.

I just wish you lots of luck.

That's sweet.

How cool.

Yeah, that's really cool. It is cool.

Okay.

Hi, Kelly.

I know you're doing good. You're probably going to win, but I miss you

anyway. I'm ready for you to come home, so eat your rice, keep smiling, and...

Come home, let's go kayaking. I'm ready to go.

Peace.

I don't know.

Maybe everybody in the room, anybody who's watching this right now, could

just join in. You make Mama real proud.

Don't go shaming the family.

Sleep over with everybody on the island.

Just remember who loves you.

Sisseth, what she's thinking of.

Now I'm doing this off the top of my head, Saul.

You are me.

I am you.

And you are me.

Together we make it through eternity.

Not bad, eh?

You know, here's Stinky.

He's going to come up and give you a big kiss.

Here he comes.

This is our sign-off now. Have fun.

Good luck.

So cute.

Hi,

Marie. I bet you're surprised to see me on the island with you. I just wanted to

let you know how much we missed you.

Look at Grandpa.

Hey, who is that?

And whether you win or not, I'm proud of you for having been selected.

I hope you're enjoying yourself because I know you like the challenge.

Take care.

I love you very much.

That's a love letter.

Yeah. All right.

Nice.

Do you think he'll notice?

That's my heart my soul Everything we do. Mom's beautiful, too. You shouldn't

have shown me that, man.

Well, it breaks my heart to say this, Jenna.

Oh, don't.

We never received a tape back.

And I'm really sorry.

Oh, man.

Are we going to do the archery now?

Well, there is.

An upside to this, it still includes you. The reward for today's challenge is

two parts.

One is a private screening for the full tape. The winner also gets to make their

own video postcard and send it home.

And that one, Jen, I can guarantee you will get there, as I'll put it in the

overnight myself tomorrow.

So one person's going to get the whole kitten caboodle tonight, and the others

are going to get nothing else.

Okay, so you're going to get one arrow. That's it.

Remember, the one who shoots their arrow closest to the bullseye gets to see

their entire video and make one of their own.

You guys comfortable?

Nice.

Greg is on the mark.

Okay, I'll let you know.

Split?

Oh, yeah, I was worried about that.

Oh, I wanted to see my daughter.

Go, Rudy. Make it count.

Greg's still looking good right now.

Close.

No cigar.

Come on, Sue.

You guys.

Tim's waiting to hear waiting to hear from you

No

Mom

and

dad would love to hear

All right, Jared. No big deal, Jared.

Billy.

Nice try, Jared.

Nice try.

Go, Richie.

Did I, Rich? Here we go. Last shot.

Up to you.

So Greg is gonna go back up there and watch his tape You can include these

guys if you want you can do whatever you want with it If it's gonna be funny,

which I figured it would I thought other people might get a kick out of it Like

at least she could provide entertainment for other people

That's right, ping-ping.

How's your fancy?

Well, I didn't think Greg's tape was unusual.

I expected that and was excited by it. You could tell she was having fun and

knew that he would laugh at what she was doing, and I was laughing. I loved it.

Any circumstance you find yourself in, you're not sure what to do.

You're in a quandary. You're in a pickle. You're in a bind.

Think what Billy Joel would do. Think about it.

Let's talk about who's probably sleeping on the island right now. I'll bet all

the giant scary spiders are sleeping.

That's how mom used to put us to sleep, mom.

All the animals are sleeping.

You make mom proud.

You make mom real proud.

Just remember who loves you. Sisseth.

I definitely see Greg differently now after seeing his video and attaching a

little bit of a family with him. At least we know he's not the only

screwball in his family. Maybe there's a genetic trait over there. You're on,

buddy. Okay.

Hi, Julie.

I just want to say, you know, it was really special for you to send me and

everybody here what you did. We feel like we could feel you and we felt you.

Some of us felt you and others just imagine what it's like to feel you. I

can't understand a guy talking to his sister that way. It sounded like Greg

was talking maybe incest.

That's the way it sounded to me.

Why not make illusions?

It crosses all those borders.

God, what are people going to think? And then sexual illusions for my sister?

What's going to happen?

Julie, we got to put up with this for about two more weeks and then we might

kill him.

Is that doing you a favor?

Good work, Rudy. Good job, Rudy.

I

can't

imagine anybody missing their kids more than I do every night.

Miss my beauties.

Miss Sadie and Sabrina.

I can't imagine my mom not getting the tape out.

I would have done wonders to see that my kids were okay.

To hear their voices.

To hear, I love you, mommy.

Yesterday was cool. We had that reward challenge with the bow and arrow, and

the reward was the videotapes from home.

And for me, that was way better than food.

Now, seeing those videos of everybody's family, it's like, even if you didn't

like somebody before, you see that somebody cares and loves this person. So

it makes it harder for me to vote somebody off now.

I felt so bad for Jenna. She practiced all morning on that stupid bow and

arrow, and then it was just like, why bother for her?

This is from the bow and arrow.

This is from the bow and arrow.

I don't know what her feeling is, because now it seems like she wants to

leave the island to see her girls.

This is going to make it that much easier when I do get hooked up.

I'm going to probably cry, but you know what? Then I'm going to get up and go,

what an adventure.

So, and then I get to go home to my kids, so. Jenna is a threat to me

because she has kids.

And I have kids, so we're like single parents.

And if people feel for single parents, she's tugging on people's emotions right

there. And that can sway somebody not to vote for Jenna. And that's a threat for

me. Jervis, I don't see him doing very much.

The fact that you have more people here now and we're having to forage for more

food and...

There's a lot more slackers on this other team.

He's a nice guy. I don't like feeding people like that. You know what I mean?

That's where I'm coming from now.

Our work philosophy is this. Rich is like the resident fisherman.

Rudy's the cook.

Sean is hauling in wood every day. It seems like everybody has a role here.

And I'm just sitting back, relaxing.

Watch me. I'm going to work that boy till he's gone now.

Bugs me.

Jervis is honest. He's not playing anybody else's game.

I've said over and over that he was an example for people thrown out of their

element to really succeed and have a great time, which Jervis has.

I got a king.

How have I survived this long?

I always said when I came here, I was going to be the entertainer. God, man.

Glad you brought them.

It adds a new dimension to item life.

I'm not trying to do anything shifty or shady. I'm just being me.

And people like me because that's who I am.

Jerv is not that charming.

Trust me. He's a slacker, so he won't be around long.

We got mail.

Hey, this is new.

Hold it.

Hold it.

If you want to win immunity at the next challenge, just slip onto the right rope

and run. Beware of dead ends.

The prize you seek is waiting at the end of the line. Wow, that sounds hot.

Fishing! There's a significant amount of luck with this one.

Oh, you've got to love that.

At least this way I have a chance.

Day 24 on the island.

Since the merger, nothing has been more important than voting strategy.

The gears are churning. Nobody is safe.

The only way to stay in this game, win today's immunity challenge.

Here we are. Immunity time again.

Into the line is a rope course designed to be confusing.

It's a jungle rope maze with five checkpoints along the way. Your job is

to collect the colored carabiners at every checkpoint.

Here's the only hiccup.

You have to be attached to the rope course at all times with your carabiner.

You have two of them.

At certain points, you're going to come to a junction, these trees.

You can't get past it. You have to take your other carabiner, reattach, then you

can untatch, spin around, maneuver, however you want to do it. The only

thing you have to keep in mind is one of these at least has to be on at all

times. Also at each checkpoint are several ropes that lead directly to the

next checkpoint, but there are also several ropes that lead to dead ends.

If you hit a dead end, you've got to backtrack to your last checkpoint and

choose a new line. First person to reach the end of the course with five

carabiners, get to the end of it.

Survivors ready?

Go!

Nice work, man.

Very good. Very good.

Yes. Well learned.

Yes.

I knew coming here that we'd have to vote people off. What I didn't bank on

was the feelings that you'd have towards these people.

I feel like I feel every tribal council, only it gets worse every time. I feel

like a backstabber. I feel like a liar.

God, some people are so nervous. It's sick. It's sick how nervous some people

are.

People are looking around a little more because it's starting to get down to the

wire. And evidently we're the only ones with a plan right now. Yeah, once it's

past the next one, we're invincible.

Right now, we're not invincible.

The voting now should get very interesting.

If people are fear and self-preservation motivated, they'll band together,

they'll form alliances, they'll start beating people out. But fear-motivated

self-preservation is the worst game I could imagine.

How do you, you know, stay true to yourself and maintain integrity and

still play this game?

And you know what? You can't.

Yeah, I think I would look better.

Yeah, tell Judy that. I will, but then it's their team one by one by one.

It's cut and dried that we can eliminate somebody every time.

And if we don't, I'll have to break somebody's kneecap or something.

So as long as everybody can keep their mouth shut now, Kelly's a little freaky.

She gets a little going. I'm like, just shut up.

Just vote this and shut up.

I keep telling myself, well, I have enough friends. I didn't come here to

make friends. And, you know, da, da, da. And the truth is, I like these people.

This is a game. You're allowed to do this in a game.

Alliances are a fair game.

My thing is, we should always have the upper hand. We should have voted Rudy.

We should have voted for Rudy at first.

And then vote, next vote, vote your conscience.

Always keep the upper hand, though, because if they try something, you can

stop it.

As far as there being a counter strategy from the other side, yeah, there is some

fear about that because we haven't gotten enough of them boarded off yet.

We have the upper hand right now.

Easy. We have four people that we can come together, have a vote, and get the

next person off.

Welcome to Tribal Council number eight.

You guys are now the final core group of nine.

Two of you will make it, survive long enough to get to the final vote. The

other seven of you will return to be the jury that delivers that vote. So no

matter who gets voted off from this point forward, when they get voted off,

we'll all be back here in 15 days to determine who leaves with $1 million.

So Richard, bearing that in mind.

How do you balance the ruthlessness required to get to the final two with

the likability needed to get the final vote?

Good question. I'm not even exactly sure what my strategy is going to be as to

who I'm going to vote for from week to week. I'm just going to keep getting

fish, feeding people.

Hope they're happy.

How about you, Jervis? You're wearing immunity tonight. You're fine.

Same thing applies to you. How do you find that balance?

it's i'm winging it every day out here i'm just winging it i like everybody

here you know and after seeing their videos or their families i could put

faces with it now i see they have loved ones like i do caring about them rooting

for them so it makes a lot harder jenna how surprised were you last week to see

gretchen get voted off i was very surprised uh i would have thought she

would have made it to the final two

But when we merged, strategies had to shift and looked like they were getting

rid of leaders. So from here on out, if I get voted off, I'll wear it like a

badge of honor when I walk down there.

Susan, straight up, is there an alliance?

No.

Not that I vote people off that I don't care for. You know, that really would

irritate me if I was working with them at a job or something like that.

And I hear I got a chance to vote him off. I can get rid of him.

It's like, yeah.

Kelly, same question.

Do I have to answer? No, I'm just kidding.

Has your voting strategy changed now or will it change tonight?

I vote for who I don't particularly like.

I vote for who I don't want to spend the next 15 days with.

Colleen, would you do whatever it takes to get this money? Would you play sides

against each other? No.

just not not important enough right what brought you here if it's not the money i

mean i'm here for the money too i mean i mean give me a break of course but the

thing is is that everybody's here for the money you know i mean i'm not going

to listen to everybody's sob stories and then weigh them that's ridiculous

everybody wants the money all right jervis it's time to vote

My vote is for Jenna. I think she's really missing her kids now. She didn't

get the videotape.

There's not a letter for her. So, you know, I think it's really hurting her.

So this is her ticket.

In keeping with my strategy of alphabetical order,

I'm voting for Greg tonight because it would have been Jervis' turn.

But he won immunity, so I had to skip him. Next person in order is Greg. I

don't think this vote's going to mean very much.

First time for paranoia.

Second time for irritation.

And third time because my ear infection is clearing up.

Good night, sweetheart.

It's time to go.

No more competition.

Talk to you later, Craig. Bye-bye.

As always, I'd like to remind you that once the votes are tallied, the decision

is final, and the person will be asked to leave the island immediately.

I'll read the votes.

Jenna.

Jenna. Greg.

Greg.

Greg.

Three votes for Greg, three votes for Jenna.

Greg. Greg.

Take care, Greg.

Greg, the tribe has spoken.

It's time for you to go.

I believed him for a minute.

You believed him, Rudy?

For a minute there.

When the tears fell.

Look at the tears back there.

That's it for tonight's tribal council.

I'll see you guys tomorrow. Good night.

Next week on Survivor. I'm just being honest with you. You can't take the

honesty. Cracks begin to appear in the alliance.

I'm hoping that Kelly hasn't joined forces with somebody else.

Someone will win a letter in the reward challenge.

Will Jenna finally hear from her children?

I want the letter from home that I haven't seen or heard anything from my

kids.

A twist of fate that maybe some didn't expect and some...

Well, some did.

An excellent game, well manufactured.

I harbor no resentment for any of you who voted for me, against me, or

otherwise. I feel like it's probably a pretty darn good time.

Thanks, guys.
