Previously on Survivor, Michael provided fish and took his leadership role to new

heights. Dear God, thanks for making me the leader of the troops.

Mike, thanks God for making him the leader of the tribe. I don't know when

he was anointed, but apparently my back was turned.

At Ogacore, Kel, the loner, was the one serious about fishing.

We do need to get some fish. Our plan for getting food is...

We don't really have a good plan, actually. And Jerry muscled in on Chef

Keith's domain.

There's a bunch more things we can have than rice, and I'm ready to start making

some of them. She wants to cook some tortillas for birthday. It's fantastic.

No worries, mate.

Roger struggled with the reward challenge.

Water is not my finest point.

Come on, Roger!

At the immunity challenge, Kimmy, the vegetarian, secured a victory for Kucha

by swallowing a mangrove worm.

Sending Ogakor to tribal council where Kel was voted out. Kel, the tribe has

spoken. 14 people are left.

Tonight, one more will go.

Ultimately, this game is about the million dollars, but you need to take

small steps along the way to get there.

And some of the small steps along the way to get there are eating because none

of us are going to win the million dollars if we don't have protein in our

bodies and we can win the challenges.

You guys, there's more food to be had that we haven't explored yet. We still

don't have food as a priority in this camp.

What's your chances of catching a pig?

Pig hunting, since we haven't seen like an abundance of them, you know, it's

like there's one out there, you know what I mean? We just walk around and

hope that during the day we run into this big pig the size of a table.

Mike wants to go out four hours a day and look for food because Mike is

hungry.

Nobody else is up for that.

I'm going to find something that's alive that we are going to kill.

I am very, very determined to get a pig.

They got to drink sometime and there's got to be tracks somewhere.

And I'm going to ambush one.

Hey, Jeff, where's that spear you made?

I didn't finish it.

But if you're going to use it for a spear, then... Once I see a fig, it's

going to be an incredible act of exertion to try and get it. But I'm

going to build a spear.

with the knife on the end. And then I'm going to run one down, and I'm going to

get as close as I can, and I'm just going to kind of, you know, figure it

out from there.

This isn't about running out looking for a hardcore hunter. This is about doing

something that's realistic.

That is not realistic.

Mike, I'm a little worried you're going to lose that knife. And I'm glad you

brought that to my attention, and I will absolutely, positively not lose this

knife. I hope he loses our knife, just to give a valuable reason to go off on

the bathroom.

We have one knife, and that one knife, it might as well be food. And he wants

to go and spear a pig.

Really? Have we seen a pig?

We haven't seen a pig. I haven't seen a pig. Believe me, if I see a pig, I'll

want to eat it. But to just go spear just because you want to come back with

one on your stick and be like, rah, rah?

I don't know.

This is a pig killer.

The spear.

The spear.

The stupid spear.

I'm going to go catch pigs.

And he takes our knife and our rope. That's classic Mike. He's an idiot.

I want to see your pig.

Go get me a pig.

To be honest, I didn't expect this.

adventure to be this hard.

I find myself just craving food.

Doritos. I want a bag of Doritos more than anything in the world.

We haven't had any meat in a week now. And the lack of protein hasn't taken its

toll yet, but it's going to.

I think I'm going to go check for messages.

Great Aboriginal fathers, be kind to us. I haven't opened it yet.

It's time to rise to the top or make a big flop. On your shoulders will rest

the tribe's fate.

For the food you've been wishing, you only dare to go fishing.

So try not to get crushed.

by the way sure as hell could use a fishy line oh my god i think the main

thing that's been keeping us from getting fish is a fishy line so this is

a huge reward today i'm worried about running out of food and running out of

rice and we've been trying to eat it sparingly but

It's going to run out sooner or later. I would love to catch a fish out there or

something. It's going to be physical, no matter how you look at it. What we're

trying to decide is whether it's a group effort or if it ends up falling on one

person. And if we have to choose one person, well, it makes no sense not to

choose Colby. He's the strongest. My gosh.

He's the strongest.

Yeah, I just thought you'd throw that one up real quick. 20 years, I mean.

Cowboy can handle any challenge.

Oh, yeah. He would die before he would fail us.

I would like to think that.

Win or lose on this deal, my stock wouldn't fluctuate at all. And people

can say, Colby, don't worry about it. We don't want to put any pressure on you.

If you don't pull through, it's no big deal.

But internally, I don't think that's the case.

Come on in, guys.

Today, we've got a great challenge. Before we get to it, though, I want to

show you the reward.

It's an outback fishing package, complete with line, hooks, lures, and a

net. Got your nylon.

Now we know what we're playing for. Here's the challenge.

It tests your strength, balance, and endurance.

The object is for both tribes to get all these buckets of water loaded onto the

shoulders of the other tribe's strongest member.

The one who holds the buckets the longest without falling or quitting

wins.

Each tribe is going to select one person to be the water bearer.

It should be your strongest person.

You're also going to have a person who is your loader. This person is going to

be loading the buckets of water onto the shoulders of your water bearer. So when

you get out there, Ogakor will take the water from Kucha and vice versa, and you

will load it onto your water bearer.

The rest of the people are going to transport the water out there. You're

going to do so with one of the beams across your shoulders, a bucket full of

water on either side, and you'll make your way across the bouncing beams.

If you fall, you've got to start over. You want as much water in your buckets

as you can handle because your water is going on the opposing tribe's water

bearer.

Ogakor, you've chosen Colby to be your water bearer.

Kucha, you've chosen Michael.

Survivors ready!

Go. Oh, God. Oh, God. Oh, God. Yeah.

Hang on, Liz.

Get your balance.

Good job, Amber. No worries.

Take your time do you think?

All right. Way to go.

Keep it going. Good job.

Right away, Marilyn.

Good job.

Come

on,

Jeffrey. You got it, buddy.

You guys run out of buckets, it's endurance.

We'll take good care of you tonight, cowboy.

This sucks.

This sucks.

Colby and Michael, you guys now have all the buckets.

That means you're each holding more than 400 pounds of water.

Whoever holds on the longest wins.

66 buckets both these guys took on their shoulders.

Michael's pole broke before anybody quit. That means there's no winner. So

now you guys are going to do a runoff.

We're going to do a five-minute time race.

The tribe that gets the most buckets on the other tribe's water bearer's

shoulders wins this.

Survivors ready?

Go!

Nicely done.

Got four minutes.

Eight buckets, Ogercore. Six buckets, Kucha.

We're all even at ten.

Two minutes.

Kucha, 14. Ogercore, 12.

20 seconds.

Ogercore up by two.

Hang tough!

There's no way to get the food. You don't have to work your butt off so hard

to get.

I mean, we have done fantastic on a small amount of food. You get food in

us, we're going to be unstoppable.

There you go.

Winning this competition means a lot more to us than just bringing home a bag

of fishing supplies.

These are the days when it comes down to morale and the mental edge going into

this. And we're 3-1 now. The stats are pretty good for us.

I certainly don't think this answers everything.

We've still got to catch the fish. The fish aren't going to jump into our camp.

At the time, I didn't think that reward challenge was very important because

something told me there really wasn't a lot of fish out here, and it sucks that

they didn't give us the fish. They give us the means to catch the fish.

I couldn't stop smiling. Keith said there were no fish.

There's no fish out there.

Him and Kel both were saying that for days and days.

They were practically jumping in the boat.

you're gonna be proud of us here we go now we need the fish gutted and scaled

When they came back with fish, they immediately said, oh, where's the chef?

The chef word's never been used before.

As a chef, my strategy was to come in here and create just spectacular dinners

and meals. And until now, we've had zero luck at doing anything from the rivers

or from the floor, for that matter. Today is day seven, and we've caught our

first fish. So actually, that's not too bad. It did take us a week, but hey,

it's better than two weeks.

How did I know that once the fish was caught, I'd be the guy playing these?

he did do that really well especially with a dull knife he's doing

exceptionally well yeah really i think right now everybody's pretty happy that

keith is there to cook the fish that we've been catching i know sometimes he

says things to other people that kind of rub them the wrong way but i'm probably

the one who gets irritated with him the most i'm aware of that there you go wow

we'll just bread those to that flour and crush it to solid put the salt on it and

bread it with the flour

I used to have oil, but it'd be okay.

It's like we don't waste the flour.

The most tension in the tribe seems to be between Jerry and Keith. With the

cooking and everyone responding well to her cooking, that put them on a level

playing field there. And so there's not really a power struggle yet, but it

could definitely come to that point.

Keith, we're all hovering over you like a bunch of greedy sharks.

Like I'm doing a cooking class.

Even when Keith was over filleting the fish, I noticed there were several eyes

paying attention.

And what that tells me is that his stock didn't go up at all. All he did was

basically play the role of instructor on how to cook fish.

Ooh, looks a little bit like fish fry. I can't wait to try

it. Marilyn?

Oh, wow.

Thank you.

Oh, yes.

I am so excited. That's good.

You like that? Yeah.

The fish that Keith made was excellent.

That was like a blessing because we were starving. We were so hungry.

So his first meal wasn't that great, but his first meal of fish was fantastic.

Oh, my God.

It is so good.

Tonight's dinner was definitely a success.

Isn't it good? Oh, my God.

Since cooking the fish, I think my stock's gone up a good amount.

I think the team has been pretty excited about what I've been able to do for

them. It is so good.

I've never had such a great meal. But you know what? Jerry could do that. I

could even do that. So having a chef out here isn't as crucial as he may think

because we don't have a lot to work with.

I'm usually on top of water.

I filled up eight jugs this morning and now I refilled up. This is the second

one. So now I've done 10 jugs of water.

You all right, Kimmy?

It's a lot of work because you got to boil this Crocodile Creek water before

you can drink it.

You got to go down and fill the big jug and then go up, boil the water, let the

water cool, put it in the big container.

I mean, it doesn't seem like you're contributing a lot because it's gone.

As soon as it's there, it's gone.

I got to go turn to the water.

I have noticed the amount of work that Kimmy has been doing. It seems to be a

whole lot more than really just about anybody else. She's really worried that

she's going to be the next one to go.

I sometimes feel vulnerable because I don't have a tight, tight bond with

somebody that could be pulling for me in my corner.

You know, that might be a bad thing because I might just be like, oh, easy

target, pick Kimmy off.

All right.

This means that I've boiled everything in this jug.

Really? Every job and task that Kimmy takes on in this camp can be taken over

by somebody else, for sure.

Jackie? Yes, ma'am, what? Do you have lotion? You're good?

Well, there's sort of a little battle between Kentucky Joe and Kimmy.

Some of the people in the tribe feel that we will be stronger without

Kentucky Joe.

I know in the beginning there was talk of voting Roger off, and I tried really

hard to rally people not to do it just because I feel strongly for him.

Kentucky Joe, although he's not a strong member of this tribe as far as

challenges are concerned, he knows what he's doing outside.

Back to the drawing board. Maybe we'll catch one this time.

Always heard that the best place to catch them is where a stream runs into a

river.

Well, I was out here looking for sinkers to make a new fishing pole with, and I

found a little rock out here about that tall, shaped like a heart. He said, here

you go. What's that look like? And I said, a heart. He said, you take that

with you.

Give it to your boyfriend and you give back.

And he said, you just know I care.

And it just touched me.

You will.

Me and her just sing like we hit it off right off the bat here.

You're so good.

Well, thank you. You're a sweet little gal too. I'm telling you what, your

parents got a lot to be proud of you.

Elizabeth said she won't vote off Kentucky Joe and she protects him.

It matters so much to me that he's around, so I'm not writing his name

down. I will not spell that man's name.

Marilyn, she's kind of like our little songbird and our little cheerleader in

our camp.

So Marilyn and I have bonded more so than I have with any of the other

people. It might be our ages. It might be that we just kind of took up for one

another. You know me.

Mad dog. Nothing hurts a mad dog. Tina is a fabulous woman. She is a star.

I trust Tina the most.

Um, I do not trust Jerry.

You like crunchy peanut butter or cream?

Crunchy. Gotta add crunchy. Yeah.

Black coffee or cream and sugar? Cream and sugar.

There could be something going on between Jerry and Colby. I mean, from

the very first day, she told me how cute she thought he was.

And at first, she didn't think that...

He liked her.

And I was like, Jerry, it's only the second day.

I'd really like it if Colby and I got together. He's exactly my type. Plus,

he's a cowboy, and I'm such a sucker for cowboys.

Cake or ice cream?

Oh, cake.

Oh, big ice cream.

Oh, Jerry.

Jerry and I are getting along great. Every day, we have more fun flirting

with each other and seeing how far we can kind of push it.

Chocolate chip cookie or oatmeal raisin? Chocolate chip.

That wasn't really a fair competition.

Oatmeal raisin never stood a chance in that battle.

Well, I think Jerry is legitimately attracted to Colby, but I'm sure that

strategic play comes in, is involved.

There's no question.

I think Jerry's approach is just a lot of, she

wants to really feel important.

She's already got Colby on her side, but she gets, you know, on her side rubbing

his back and, you know, nuzzling at night, you know, that whole thing,

sharing the blanket, all that kind of stuff.

So it's natural for Colby just to gravitate, and a little smoke screen

goes up, and so he doesn't necessarily see certain things. Or maybe he does,

and I'm just not aware of it.

At this point, I'm not sure if Jerry has ulterior motives. Jerry is very capable

of deceiving me or anyone else in the tribe. And maybe she's not. Maybe I'm

wrong. But I still can't let my guard down.

I'm going to relax.

If it came down to me having to vote for Colby, I would.

This is speargrass. See how tall that is? Yeah, that's definitely speargrass.

That is speargrass.

Alicia and I, we went for that foraging walk together intentionally.

I've thought a lot about the voting, and I wanted to be able to get away with her

and just have her think about the future and who would be the most valuable to

have with us in a Final Four that we could beat.

You and I are committed to each other for that Final Four. Right.

Because the truth of the matter is, I feel like you're the only one that I

really trust at this point.

Wow, look at the size of that one. That is a major spider.

Jeff and I are constantly scheming and planning about how this thing should go.

Elizabeth can't be in the final four. She can't be because she'll make it to

the end. And I don't think Nick can be either.

We talked about, you know, who we're going to vote for now, who we're going

to vote for next time, who we trust, who we don't trust.

Nick flies under the radar.

Nick flies very much under the radar, and Nick is a total player.

I don't trust him as far as I can spit.

I mean, I feel Nick would screw all of us.

Nick is very lazy.

Don't let me take the fire with me as I drag this through here.

He won't pick up anything. He won't lift anything. If you ask him to help you,

he'll act like he doesn't hear you.

Thanks. All right. I didn't even hear what you said.

That's okay.

I'm zoning out.

You know what? He's too secure in his position right now.

He's done our kitchen, which is lovely, and he's built a lovely little outdoor

chair, and he's built a lovely little patio, but only because he doesn't want

to do anything else.

Mentally, you need to feel like you're comfortable where you are, and that's

why I built the kitchen. I mean, the kitchen serves, you know, little

purpose, but it looks good. It makes you feel comfortable.

It's noticeable that you're doing work, which makes you feel happy.

Hey! Hey!

You get that done where I can sleep in.

I just don't see the necessity in making benches when we need firewood. I think

that that's not a priority. I think that's a luxury.

Unfortunately, we need him, so what can we do? He's one of our stronger people,

but when we get to a point where somebody in our group has to go, he's

going to be the first.

When it rains, it's a scary moment.

If the fire goes out, everything around us is wet, and we only have a couple

matches.

It was at the point where it was almost out, and there was hardly any light

coming off of it, and no heat at all.

It was really raining hard. We were not going to let the rain win over our

fire. This wasn't going to happen.

Tired. That was a rough one.

Cold.

Rainy.

Pretty miserable.

My side of the tent was all wet.

So I'd sleep in wet clothes with a wet blanket and sand.

I can't recall sleeping even a full hour.

Last night was a hard night.

It poured.

I mean, not just a little jizzle. It just poured.

People fight. Sometimes we put the fire out.

We're up all night trying to keep that fire going.

I think the hardest thing for me so far has just been trying to catch up enough

sleep so the body's ready to go into combat in our challenges.

Everybody's kind of getting a little lethargic. The fish definitely helped.

That was a big morale booster.

But I sense we're kind of on a downslide right now.

And it kind of scares me a little bit.

When you think about how low you are on nutrition and how hungry you are, being

tired just quadruples it.

Getting mail is always an exciting thing, but I was so weak.

Walking up that hill to get the mail was treacherous for me, and I knew.

I knew that inside there would be a challenge that I may not be able to do,

and that was a depressing thought for me.

We got mail.

I don't think that you'll find that your tribe's in a bind. You're between a hard

place and a rock.

But if you work as a team, it's not as hard as it seems. Pull together and your

win is a lot.

Ropes. Maybe tug of war.

Bind. Bind in here, which means maybe something's bound.

Maybe we're all going to be tied up or something. Rock in a hard place.

Probably going to have to do with rocks.

I'm a little weak for climbing rocks.

It's not the time to be weak, brother.

I know.

I'm dragging. This is the most tired I've been.

Personally, I'm a little worried about myself. I know I'm not going to be as

strong going into this one as I have been in the past.

Come on down, guys.

Welcome to your toughest challenge yet on Survivor.

Let me get that immunity idle.

Today's challenge is very simple in concept.

and very tough in execution.

It's an obstacle course.

You're going to start by racing through a log chute.

Then you'll go down a steep sand slide into the river.

On the other side, you go through a series of obstacles.

Then finally, you're going to sprint across the sand to the finish line. It's

going to require a lot of physical endurance, flexibility, and teamwork,

because here's the twist.

You're going to go tethered as a team.

You're only as fast as your slowest member.

If somewhere along the way a tribe member can't go any longer, you can

carry them, but they have to finish. The first tribe to get all their members

across the finish line wins immunity.

Here we go, guys.

Survivors ready?

Go!

Come on, come on, come on. Good, good, good.

Good, good.

Come on, come on back there. Come on, come on.

Good, good.

Go, go, go.

Come on,

come on, come on.

Go, pick it up, pick it up.

Come on.

Come on! Come on!

Good job guys.

Oh my god, good job, good job.

We did it.

We did it. Oh my god. We did it!

Yeah!

You guys know what I'm here to tell you.

Tribal Council, one of you guys will be going home.

Our last immunity challenge was a real tough one. Mad Dog Marilyn, you know,

she had a difficult time.

Had we voted for Marilyn last week and not Cal, I can almost guarantee you we'd

have immunity right now.

She's ready.

She'll be very understanding.

The mood in the camp is a sad mood, but it's also a very strategic mood.

Everybody's thinking, who's thinking what?

There's been five of us, myself, Colby, Mitchell, Amber, and Tina, who've kind

of decided to all vote the same.

My vote's not going towards Marilyn.

We've had a lot of physical challenges up until now, but I'm sure some of them

are going to be mental. And I think Marilyn could prove to be an asset.

Why should we lose her? For what? Because she fell a few times? Because

she's older?

Why?

What kind of team is that?

She works my ass off. She's the first one up every morning with me doing it.

You and me and her.

Mitchell does all right, but he struggles, and he doesn't do a lot of

work. When's the last time you ever seen him go up in the hill and get wood?

Never.

Mitchell's the weakest of our strength of getting a lot of heavy work done.

And when it comes to the challenges, he's not... Marilyn, I think, is

stronger than he is in the challenges.

All we need is just the four of us.

No pressure.

Thanks, Keith.

And I could be cutting my own throat doing this, but at least with Colby, we

can discuss it, probably disagree upon it, and it'll stay with us.

Keith's wanted to put you on the chopping block tonight.

And he's got Marilyn with him, and he came to me and Tina.

Strategies are starting to develop more and go in different directions. And the

more we learn about each other, the more you start to second-guess what you've

done. Keith is trying to pull around a swing boat and try to get me out.

Why do we want to kick off our fun Maryland and then keep the pessimist and

the backstabber? You guys ready? At this point, Keith and Mitchell and Maryland

are neck and neck for tribal council tonight.

So let's talk about the fact that you guys have been here nine days.

Yes. You're in the honeymoon stage.

Hasn't even begun yet.

So I just want to talk about a couple of big topics.

Trust. Colby, is there anybody here that you don't trust, that you wouldn't

trust? Sure. Tell me about that.

Well, I think that's part of the game. It's way too early to tell exactly who

you can trust, I think.

What about you, Mitchell?

Trust everybody here for 42 days?

I think the motto is trust no one.

I have a lot of faith in a good number of these people, but I couldn't give 100

% of my trust.

What about you, Mad Dog?

These all your buddies?

Yes.

Yes. And Jeff, I trust with my heart.

Jerry, who here would you say you're closest to so far?

I've been very fortunate in my ability to bond with Amber and

Mitchell and Colby in particular.

I think friendship does enter into it at some point, but it's very important to

keep that separate from the game. It's two totally different things, and that's

where it gets tricky.

Keith, who have you bonded with?

Several individuals.

You know, and I guess I equate the bonding different than friendship. I

think it's more of a camaraderie for me than it is actual friendship.

Jeff, I'm conjoined with Tina.

Really?

She is a constellation.

And the cowboy.

Oh, the poor cowboy has dragged me around so many times.

I'd do it again.

You betcha. I'd do it again.

I'd do it again.

Colby, sad at all tonight?

Yeah. Yeah, I am.

Because any way the vote goes on this, the seven of us are really tied.

So the inevitable is here. We're broken up after tonight.

And that's tough.

No matter which way it goes.

It's time to vote. Mad Dog, you're up first.

Mitchell, it just seems like you're tired.

This is probably one of the most difficult things for me to do right now.

It's purely strategic.

It's nothing personal. I am going to miss you dearly.

Mad Dog, I love you. I value your friendship more than anything.

This vote has everything to do with the promise I made. It has nothing to do

with you. I hope you'll understand.

I'm going to tally the votes.

Once the votes are tallied, the decision is final and the person will be asked to

leave the tribal council area immediately.

I'll read the votes.

First vote.

Jerry.

Marilyn.

Mitchell. Mad Dog.

Three votes for Mad Dog.

And a very sad Mad Dog.

You need to bring me a torch, Mad Dog.

Mad Dog, the tribe has spoken.

It's time for you to go.

Well, I don't think I have to ask how you guys are feeling tonight. I think

the last vote probably says it all. Grab your torches and back to camp.

Stay tuned for scenes from next time in Maryland's Final Words.

I cannot thank you enough for selecting me, and this experience has meant so

much to me.

At 52, I can feel myself really coming alive.

Oh, hell, I'm tired.

Did this all really happen?

Did I do this?
