Deep in the

heart of the South Pacific lies

one of the most mysterious and

isolated islands in the world,

Samoa.

A land that's steep, volcanic

mountains, towering waterfalls,

fierce rainstorms.

Rugged coastlines, virtually

untouched by civilization.

And surrounded by an ocean

that's home to a diverse marine

life.

Here's where these 20 Americans

are beginning the adventure

of a lifetime.

Though they've not yet spoken,

first impressions are already

forming.

This lady with her free-

flowing mullet, she's probably

some super outdoors woman that

will naturally step forward as

our leader.

Dude, I'm a people magnet.

People have gravitated to me my

entire life.

It's like, "Ooh, my God!

This chick rocks!

We love her."

There's a guy who looks as

tough as nails.

He looks like a pit bull.

He's like...

I wouldn't want to mess with

him, that's for sure.

I plan on making it as

miserable as possible, making

it hell for everybody to get

what I want.

When I first started being a

police officer, I believed

every single person I met.

But now, I don't believe

anybody anymore.

20 strangers forced

to work together while battling

the elements and each other.

They must learn to adapt or

they'll be voted out.

In the end, only one will

remain to claim the

remain to claim the million-dollar prize.

million-dollar prize.

survivor.

Welcome to Survivor:

Samoa.

You guys have already been

divided into two tribes--

wearing purple, you are Galu;

wearing yellow, you are Foa Foa.

You are now going to make your

first tribe decision.

You are going to elect a leader

for your tribe.

Out here in Samoa, the leaders,

or matais as they're called,

are held in very high esteem

because they're called upon to

protect the interests of their

tribe.

Whoever you elect is going to

do that for your tribe.

It's going to be based on body

language, observations.

A piece of parchment and a pen

for each of you.

Do your best to describe who

looks like they could lead your

tribe.

It's like, "Ah!

Kind of like a deer in

headlights."

Taking on a leadership role in

a game like Survivor is a

death wish.

Once you have it,

you can head back to your mat.

I do have leadership

qualities.

Being in the operating room,

you have to make snap decisions.

It takes more than a note from

Mom to get through med school

and residency.

All right, Galu, who

looks like they could lead your

tribe?

I voted for the guy in the

gray shirt with the very short

cut.

What's your name?

Erik.

First vote is for

Erik.

Guy in the back.

I voted for the lady with

the purple bandanna.

What's your name?

Shambo.

Shambo?

Yup.

My nickname has been Shambo

since '86.

I was in the United States

Marine Corps, and Rambo had the

same bandanna I had.

So everybody was like,

Shannon, Shambo, Rambo, Shambo,

so that's my game name, and

that's what I'm here to do,

is play.

All right, woman in

front with the blond hair.

Black jacket and dreads

right here.

What's your name?

Russell.

That's one vote for Russell.

In the back.

I voted for the guy with the

dreadlocks-- Russell.

Two votes for Russell

Handsome man in the suit.

All right, that's

three votes Russell.

Russell, who did you vote for?

Shambo.

Shambo.

So Russell has three votes,

Shambo has two.

Woman here in front in gray.

Shambo.

Guy in the back?

Russell.

That's four for

Russell, Three for Shambo.

Erik.

Yeah, better looking Lennox

Lewis.

That's five for

Russell, that will do it.

Shambo has the last vote.

This fellow.

All right.

Russell is the leader of Galu.

All right.

Foa Foa, your turn.

Red shirt, jeans, khaki

jacket.

What's your name?

Mick.

Tall guy in the back.

Mick.

Mick.

That's two for Mick.

Right up here in the front with

the cap.

Girl in the orange shirt

with white flowers.

What's your name?

Marisa.

Brought a smile to

your face.

That's two for Mick, one for

Marisa.

Mick.

The yellow shirt and vest.

What's your name?

Jaison.

All right.

Right here in the front, in the

yellow dress.

The guy in the khaki jacket

and orange shirt.

That's three

for Mick.

Jaison, who'd you vote for?

The girl with the dark hair,

Asian.

The name is Liz.

All right, Marisa,

who did you vote for?

Short, strong guy with the

hat.

Short, strong guy--

what's your name?

Russell.

Woman in front.

Male, gray vest, yellow

button up-- Jaison.

Down here on the end.

The tall, nicely dressed,

Yale-type black man.

All right, we have a

tie, now.

We have Mick with three votes,

Jaison with three votes.

Jaison with three votes. One vote left.

One vote left.

Last vote, hold it up.

Guy with green jacket, red

shirt, Mick.

That's it.

We have a leader for Foa Foa.

It is Mick.

I really wasn't surprised I

wasn't written down as the

leader, but I don't really see

anybody else that's a country

boy.

I've shot and killed and

cleaned about everything you're

allowed to in Missouri, and

probably a few things

you're not.

So I've done all this stuff

before, and I think a lot of

these people are kind of candy

asses.

All right, leaders,

now, you're going to make your

first big decision.

And it will test your

leadership skills right from

the start.

I'm scared.

This leadership thing can go

south real quick.

The highest nail definitely

gets pounded down in this game.

And right now, I'm, like, sky

And right now, I'm, like, sky high.

high.

All right, you're now

going to make your first big

decisions as leaders.

You're going to decide who's

going to participate in our

opening challenge.

Mick, I want you to choose from

your tribe who you think is

your best swimmer.

your best swimmer. Okay.

Okay.

Jaison.

He looks like a swimmer.

Everybody assumes that tall,

black guy can't swim, so I

didn't think in a hundred years

that Mick would choose me for

the swimming.

But I played water polo through

college and the national team,

so I would like to claim I'm a

pretty good swimmer.

Russell, who do you

think is your best swimmer?

I'm choosing the young,

Brazilian-looking guy.

John, head on over.

Mick, pick the strongest

person on your tribe.

I'm choosing Russell.

Russell.

All right, for Galu.

I'm going to choose the

younger guy with the short-

cropped haircut.

Erik?

Erik.

Mick, pick who you

think is your most agile person.

I'm choosing Marissa?

Marisa.

All right, Russell.

I'm choosing my African

queen with braids.

All right, Yasmin,

come on over.

Yasmin wearing nice heels.

All right, Mick, last choice.

Pick the smartest person on

this tribe.

This is tough.

I am choosing the woman on

the end.

I'm sorry, I lost your name.

Liz.

I forgot.

Liz.

I think Mick chose me

because I'm Asian, and while I

certainly don't take offense to

the positive attributes of

being an Asian, because they're

smart, they're supposed to be

studious.

Come on over.

Join your tribe.

There are also negative

attributes like sneaky,

conniving, and I just don't

want people attributing all the

negative attributes to me.

All right, Russell,

who do you think is the

smartest?

I'm choosing Shambo!

Oh, my God!

I am smart in the ways of life,

but as far as book smart, dear,

God, please, help me here.

Come on over.

Okay.

You guys ready to get

to the first challenge?

Here's how it's going to work.

On my "go," the designated

swimmer will swim out, retrieve

a key, and swim back.

The designated strong person

will use that key to unlock a

chain, freeing up two very

heavy bundles of logs.

You'll then carry those logs

back to the mat where the most

agile person will use those

logs to get up to a balance

beam.

You must maneuver across the

balance beam while navigating

another key through a rope maze.

The designated smart person

will use that key to unlock a

bag of puzzle pieces, using the

pieces to solve the puzzle.

First tribe to solve the puzzle

wins reward.

Want to know what you're

playing for?

Yeah.

Fire, in the form of

flint.

Let's get it, guys.

Huge advantage to

start this game.

Take your spots, we'll get

Take your spots, we'll get started.

started.

All right, here we go.

All right, here we go. Survivors ready?

Survivors ready?

Go!

The first leg is a swimming

leg.

Wow, two sprinters through the

water.

Got to swim all the way out,

retrieve the key, and get back.

Jaison starting to pull away

from John.

Mick feeling very good about

his choice for a swimmer.

Jaison, he surprised the

out of me.

Afro-Americans aren't known to

be... swimmers, you know.

Jaison!

All right, come on, baby!

Come on, get it done!

Get it done!

John now at his key.

Jaison has his key

and he's heading back.

John has his key.

He's heading back.

We've got a race.

Push it!

Come on, John!

Come on, John! Keep going!

Keep going!

Jaison first back for Foa

Foa, passes off the key to

Russell.

Now the strong guy going to

work.

Got to unlock that chain.

That is a long swim.

John shanked that swim so

bad I was ready to vote him off

right there.

Come on, keep going!

Erik has the key.

Erik now getting to work.

Russell having no problem with

that first bundle of logs.

Erik trying to make up some

time.

Come on, Erik!

Erik now has that

first bundle.

Adrenaline coursing through that

body!

Push it, baby!

You got it!

All right, get back that other

one.

Look at him-- he's strong but

he's tired!

He's out of shape!

Russell having a

little trouble with that second

one.

These are heavy bundles of logs.

Erik carrying it.

Come on, Erik!

Come on, Erik, come on!

Erik down.

Russell has it.

Marisa's on the balance beam

now.

Got to make your way across the

beam while maneuvering that key

through the rope maze.

There you go.

Erik still working

with that second log.

Step by step.

Dig it in, baby, dig it in!

Erik not giving up!

Finish it, finish it!

Finish it!

Erik has it!

Look at how Erik carried that

weight.

He made me so proud.

He had the heart of a tiger.

Yasmin making up a

lot of ground for Galu.

That's what I'm talking

about.

You got it, girl, you got it.

Marisa very close for

Foa Foa.

Good job!

Get to that bit!

Marisa finishes.

Liz now unlocks the lock.

Don't quit.

Take your time.

Liz working on the

puzzle for Foa Foa.

Come on.

Bring it to me, baby, bring

it to me.

There you go.

There it is.

Yasmin has it.

Shambo now unlocking the puzzle

pieces.

Come on, Shambo.

You can still take it, baby.

You're in it.

It ain't over.

Liz has had a nice

head start.

Shambo is right in it.

She was worried if she was going

to be smart enough.

Come on, come on!

Shambo making up a

lot of time.

Shambo making up a ton of time

for Galu.

Liz very close.

Foa Foa wins reward!

Foa Foa wins reward!

We won the challenge because

Mick made a very good choice on

all legs.

That was amazing.

You owned it.

Foa Foa, your reward.

Fire and a map to your new home.

Russell, at all frustrated?

No, Jeff.

I'm proud of this team.

I am not frustrated in the

least.

Everybody loves an underdog,

Jeff.

That's right.

You are definitely

the underdogs.

Here's your map to your new

home.

Grab your stuff.

Head out.

You've got a camp to build.

Pretty boy.

Maybe he couldn't swim, but get

your ass off the mat.

Stand up.

Unbelievable.

Unbelievable. He doesn't deserve to be here.

He doesn't deserve to be here.

He doesn't deserve to be here. ♪

Oh!

I'm Betsy.

Mike.

How you doing?

Leader.

What do we do now?

Well, does anybody have any,

like, practical, real world

experience?

I'm a hillbilly, man.

Really?

I've done this lots of times.

The bathroom should definitely

not be up from camp.

It should be away.

Ben's an interesting cat.

You know, he shows up to camp

and, I mean, the guy is just,

like, "All eyes to me."

We just need four holes that

are, like, equidistant apart,

like...

I can dig, I can dig holes.

...ten by ten, 12 by 12,

whatever it is.

I think the leadership thing

is difficult and I'm still

trying to sort out exactly how

to run it.

Put that other piece of

bamboo that way.

If he wants to step up and

take control of things, you know

what?

Have at it, my friend, because

Have at it, my friend, because he'll paint his own target.

he'll paint his own target.

I didn't come here to work, I

came here to play.

You got to talk about alliance

as soon as you step on this

island, so my strategy is to be

able to have a secret alliance

with each one of these dumb

girls.

We can have something like a

secret alliance.

Okay.

Hmm?

So we can be strong from the

beginning.

We can look back at this moment

right now...

...and say, "We did it from the

beginning, from day one."

Right.

It is day one now.

I've got an alliance with the

dumb, short-haired blonde.

This is what I wanted.

Pinky swear?

I wanted someone to approach

me.

And the even dumber long-

haired blonde.

I'll trust you.

So do I have that same trust

with you?

Yes.

And the dark-haired girl...

You've got my word.

You have mine.

I like to call it my dumb-

ass girl alliance.

It's just gonna be me and you.

All right.

I told them exactly the same

thing.

This is real.

I believe you.

Not joking.

And I believe they're just

gullible enough to believe it.

I know this ... before I even

got here.

Align with the old lady.

You suck.

To make sure that I win this

game, my fourth alliance is with

the old lady.

I know she's a lot smarter than

my dumb-ass girl alliance, so

I've got to be real careful with

that one.

Should we shake?

Should we let people see us

shake or what?

That is fun, Russell.

As a police officer, I usually

can get a pretty good read on

somebody by talking to them,

looking in their eyes, their

body language.

I just have a feeling that I

don't trust Russell because he

came to me too quick in the

game.

I did make an alliance with him,

I did make an alliance with him, but I don't trust him.

but I don't trust him.

Galu!

Welcome home, guys!

Home, sweet home.

Oh, my God.

So, listen to this.

Let's make our structure.

I've been elected leader of the

Galu tribe.

It is a heavy, heavy liability.

Who's the one that you always

want to get when you don't know

who you want to get?

Get the leader.

This is almost like we're

building a raft.

Let's think about a raft, right,

on the ground, right, and then

we're going to raise the raft

up.

That sounds great.

So, make sense?

Let's get it done.

When we first landed on the

beach, I saw Russell, our tribe

leader, begin to actually take

charge.

It was really cool.

I felt, "Yay, we do have a

leader."

I just want to do some

building.

Ow.

You're going to make this

load bearing?

The tree isn't vertical, so it

isn't compressed through the

core.

Oh, my God.

They're still discussing it.

My only problem right now is we

have some really strong, male,

dominant personalities that

aren't hearing one another.

I mean, can we go higher than

this potentially?

I mean...

Yeah, there is no limitation.

This isn't necessarily like a

hard stop line...

No, no.

There's no reason we

couldn't...

Yeah, exactly.

I'm just sweeping this...

...go up here and then two

stacks, like five and then five.

They got all hung up on

exactly what should be done,

how, when, where.

If we're going to sleep here,

right, and then build a

trench... and all the drain--

all the water that runs off this

hill, which was part of the

initial rationale for picking

this spot, right, gets diverted

around us.

In my life experience, a little

bit of planning has taught me

don't always be so quick to

start spinning the wheels.

Raw destruction.

Everyone's in a hurry right now.

I know.

We've got all day.

This isn't your typical

construction job.

You can't push your schedule to

the right, come in late, and

deliver over budget, because

guess what.

Your budget is coconuts.

Should we start...?

I think we-- it might be

suited to take, like, a five-

minute break and just really

think about what we're doing

here.

Oh, my God, these guys are

killing me.

John is very much all talk, no

business.

I think he's an engineer or

something.

He's, he's too technical.

I think wind needs to be

addressed.

I think rain is your biggest

adversary.

All he's doing is running

his mouth.

I'm trying to kind of get an,

get an inventory of all the

actions that we need to have

completed or at least try.

I think we ought to just act

and quit freaking thinking.

Okay.

Ooh, Lord have mercy.

I'm tired.

I'm going to go get wet.

Yeah, yeah, let's go.

Yeah, because I'm vile.

Oh, these young kids.

I didn't want to go in the damn

water.

It's crazy, because I have to

constantly remind myself, this

is not the Marine Corps, and all

these people are in their mid-

20s, so the way that the rest of

the tribe does things is going

to be way different than the way

that I do things.

So Russell as leader-- I-I'm

struggling with it.

He's not being assertive.

He's not leading right now, in

my opinion.

He needs to open a can of whoop-

ass and lay some laws down.

That's what I would have done.

That would have been my game

That would have been my game plan.

plan.

I lived in New Orleans, in

St. Bernard Parish, right by the

levee.

The storm was a category 5.

When it hit, it broke the levee.

I was in my house.

Me-- I have a German shepherd.

His name was Rocky.

And I tried to get out of the

house, and I realized I wasn't

going to make it.

So I grabbed my ax, because as a

fireman, one thing you learn is

when you go in something, you

have to be able to get out.

By the time I got upstairs, the

water was rushing in, like...

Oh, my God.

I look at Rocky.

You know, I couldn't even see

him.

It was muddy water.

He was gone.

I can't even find him.

Oh, my God.

Oh, my God, oh.

So sad.

I never lived in New Orleans

and I'm not a fireman.

I never even had a German

shepherd.

You know, I really ain't got

that close to another dog yet.

I had him for, like, nine years.

Really?

I'm such an animal lover.

That was so hard for me to hear,

and, I don't know, it just kind

of gets to you.

And when I got on the roof, I

stayed there for two days.

Really?

Two days.

And it's crazy how you can break

their hearts by telling them a

lie.

Russell is an interesting

character because I really

trusted him off the start, but

he's really been scrambling with

everyone, and he was trying to

get people's sympathy about

Katrina, which is probably very

true, and his dog, and I don't

want to diminish that story, but

I just think that it was-- he

was angling at stuff, and I'm

starting to feel like he's

starting to feel like he's pretty slimy.

pretty slimy.

I figure I'll make it a

little interesting for

everybody when they wake up.

I emptied all the water out of

all the canteens.

I plan on weeding out the weak

I plan on weeding out the weak right off the bat.

right off the bat.

I plan on making it as

miserable as possible for

miserable as possible for everybody.

everybody.

Little stuff like taking a sock,

I done burn it in the fire.

I think if I can control how

they feel, I can control how

they think.

I'm really a multi-millionaire.

I own an oil company in Houston.

I'm not here for the money.

I'm only here to show people

how easy it is to win this game.

Another accomplishment complete.

I'm the worst one to trust out

here.

I should be the first one to go.

But I'm going to do everything

But I'm going to do everything it takes to win this game.

it takes to win this game.

There's no more water.

None whatsoever?

No.

Yeah, they're all empty.

Oh, you know, I haven't been

drinking.

Somebody drank my whole

canteen.

Really?

Really? Yeah.

Yeah.

I'm looking for my socks,

which I can't seem to find.

Gone, disappeared.

Me feet are starting to hurt.

They're a little blistered, and

I'd really like to find some

I'd really like to find some socks and to be warm, finally.

socks and to be warm, finally.

I don't mean to be, like,

pressing, but we have to hurry.

Because we have to fill the

canteens, cook some crab up.

Will you just relax?

No, I don't want to relax.

It's way too hot to touch.

it's not that hot.

We can start pouring it.

With the coconut husk?

Here.

I'll do everything.

No, Liz, Liz, you want to

fill the canteen.

It's hot.

We can blow on it.

You can blow on it and in a

smaller portion it will cool it

faster.

Use a little common sense.

My strategy is working like

a dream.

We have not had sleep.

Just...

I slept fine.

Congratulations.

And they're hollering at

each other right now.

And I'm going to just sit back

and watch them, you know, watch

it happen.

I just need to keep some

serenity.

I'll leave you alone.

Right now, I think I am running

the whole show.

They don't even know it, but I

They don't even know it, but I know I am.

know I am.

know I am. Come on in, guys.

Come on in, guys.

How you guys doing?

Good.

Great.

Russell, how you

feeling about your tribe?

Best group of people I could

ever meet.

Everybody's pulling their

weight.

Everybody tough as nails.

Jeff, I've never read that

book.

"Things Losers Say."

That was really good.

That was good.

Can we start this, Jeff,

because I'm ready to open some

cans of whoop-ass.

All right, for

today's immunity challenge, six

members of each tribe will race

across a series of A-frames

while carrying three coils of

rope.

You will then use that rope to

pull a heavy crate to the

finish platform, where the four

remaining tribe members will

disassemble the crate and use

the pieces to solve a puzzle.

First tribe to finish wins

immunity.

Hmm...

This is the immunity

idol.

When you have this at your camp,

you cannot go home.

Tonight the losing tribe goes to

Tribal Council.

Tonight somebody will be the

first person voted out of this

game.

All right, everybody, take your

All right, everybody, take your spots, we'll get started.

spots, we'll get started.

For immunity.

Survivors ready?

Survivors ready? Go!

Go!

Galu over in one fell swoop.

Galu off to a huge lead.

Galu off to a huge lead. Foa Foa quickly behind.

Foa Foa quickly behind.

Get a running start!

Yasmin trying to get

over for Galu.

Russell now coming down to help.

You got to climb, you got to

climb.

Foa Foa now working

Foa Foa now working together to get over.

together to get over.

Galu has all their members over

the second A-frame.

Go, go!

Galu now working

together, building a human

pyramid.

Great strategy!

Foa Foa is over the second A-

frame.

Go.

Go, Foa Foa!

Russell, grab that rope!

You can do it!

This last A-frame--

much more difficult because

there is no momentum.

Galu is up and Galu is over.

Oh!

Some skin coming off

on that one.

Foa Foa still working.

Mick using his entire body to

support Jaison.

Come on, Galu!

You can do it!

Come on, Galu, let's go!

Foa Foa is over.

Come on, Foa Foa!

You got this, guys.

Both tribes now

stretching out that rope.

You've got to tie all three

ropes to the heavy crate.

Galu still in the lead.

Go, go, go, go, go!

Come on, guys!

Heave-ho, heave-ho!

Foa Foa is back in

it.

It's a tug-of-war now.

You got it, you got it!

Go, go, go, go, go!

Russell grunting it

out.

Galu working well together.

Very heavy crates.

Pull!

Go!

Puzzle makers, start working for

Galu.

Let's go!

Go!

Puzzle makers, start working for

Foa Foa.

Galu getting a quick, early

start on putting this puzzle

together.

All right, you guys, what we

need to do is we need to find

writing on the top only.

"Survival," "survival."

Everybody grab a piece and

find your match.

Yes.

S-U...

U-- here we go.

Foa Foa making some

progress.

Galu absolutely nowhere on this

puzzle.

It's like they just started.

This says "there..."

Okay, come on, we get it now.

We have it, we have it.

Here, here, here, here...

Here's a "V," here's a "V."

Galu thinks they have

something going now.

Got it, got it, got it!

That's it.

Come on, guys, we have it.

Now it's Foa Foa who

seems lost.

That's not it.

Drop it down, slide it down.

Galu making a big

move now on their puzzle.

They think they have it.

Are they right?

Yeah!

Galu, Galu, Galu is in the

Galu,

congratulations.

Immunity, safe tonight at Tribal

Council.

Monica, I will give you this--

fire.

fire.

Foa Foa, I got nothing for you

except a date with me tonight

at Tribal Council where one of

you will be the first person

voted out of this game.

Grab your stuff, head back to

camp.

camp. See you at Tribal.

See you at Tribal.

Everybody, listen.

That's only like the first

quarter in a seven-game series.

Oh, yeah.

You know?

It's a long way to go.

Today at the challenge, we

lost, and that sucks.

I don't know whose fault it was.

I feel like, you know, we all

contributed.

I need to go in.

You got to make a decision

now for real.

We got to go in.

I don't know, I think we have a

lot to think about, but I don't

want to be the one to bring it

up because then I'm gonna have a

target on my back.

I think right now it's a

matter of strength.

I do, too.

I think, I think the weakest

should go.

You know?

So what do you think?

Well, weakest-wise, I think

it's Ashley, just based purely

on physical strength.

Yeah, I second Ashley.

I'm 62.

I'm the oldest one out here and,

you know, I do not want to be

the first one out, you know, so

I'm talking to a few people and

saying that I think right now we

should work on strength.

Ashley.

I'm going based on strength,

weakest.

There's going to be hard

challenges ahead of us, so I

think we should vote off the

weakest, and I am not the

weakest, and I am not the physically weakest.

physically weakest.

Okay, but... but you've been,

like, talking to everybody.

I know.

So I don't know why you've

been doing that, and it makes me

a little wary.

Does it?

It makes me wary, yeah,

because I've seen you talking

individually, like, to everyone.

So you think...

I'm just not sure...

If I'm talking individually,

it doesn't mean I'm trying to be

strategizing with them.

I'd rather keep it pretty

low-key.

I mean, what have you been

talking about?

Everything.

We're out here on Survivor.

Talking about having a good

time, talking to some of them

about what they think and who

they think the weakest...

How do you come to me and

threaten me and telling me

you're feeling uncomfortable.

Are you kidding me?

Marisa is the dumbest player

I've ever seen.

It is a game, you know.

Yeah.

I'm running the show here.

You come up to me and threaten

me, you got to go, and she's

gone.

She just completely threatened

me, saying, "You're not making

me comfortable."

I said, "Why is she telling me

this right now?"

What is that going to make me

think?

That makes me think I got to get

rid of her.

Okay, who?

Marisa.

No, you think so?

I know so.

She's going first.

Okay.

If you stay with me, then

you're going to be fine for a

long time.

Vote Marisa.

Really?

All right.

My tribe will believe

anything I tell them at any

point because they're just

stupid.

I'm starting to make her

nervous.

Why would you say that?

Still don't know if Marisa...

All right, good, because I can't

stand that bitch.

Mick's the leader of the

tribe, but I'm the one in charge

of the camp.

You can call me the puppet

master.

They can be my little puppets.

They'll run when I tell them to

run, they'll walk when I tell

them to walk.

When I'm finished with them,

just throw them in the trash.

I wouldn't trust Russ.

Why do you say that?

Oh, I just wouldn't.

Well, tell me why.

Well, tell me why. Give me a reason.

Give me a reason.

Oh, I don't know why.

Oh, I don't know why. A woman's intuition.

A woman's intuition.

A woman's intuition. ♪

Behind each of you is

a torch.

Go ahead and grab a torch,

approach the flame, dip it in,

approach the flame, dip it in, and get fire.

and get fire.

In this game, fire represents

your life.

As long as you have fire, you

are still in the game.

When your fire's gone, so are

you.

Unfortunately, for one of you,

that will be the case tonight.

How's that feel, Ashley, hearing

that, that one of the ten of you

going home in just a few

minutes?

You know, it's really sad,

but that's just the way the game

works.

You know, whatever.

It is what it is.

It is what it is.

Russell, why not just vote her

out now if it's not that big a

deal.

Let's get out of here.

I don't know how to answer

that question.

Well, I think tonight we all

realize that this is a dog eat

dog game, and we're all wearing

Milk Bone underwear.

So the honeymoon's over and we

have to get serious, so...

Ashley, regretting

that comment at all?

No. It's a game.

You have to vote people out.

I think we all did our best

today.

And unfortunately, they beat us.

I disagree.

I thought they were lucky with

the puzzle.

Lucky?

With the puzzle, yeah.

Borassi, we'd still

be there.

You guys were nowhere close.

Liz, you were designated "the

smart person."

Was that luck today?

No, I don't think it was luck

on their part.

I think that we could have been

a little bit more unified.

Um, we're only as strong as our

weakest link.

Betsy, who do you

think is the weak link?

Um...

I think Ashley's the weakest.

Ashley.

I find it very entertaining

that she thinks I'm the weakest

link, when I am like,

cardio-wise, physically fit.

I work out tons at home.

I mean, I was climbing those

walls today.

That should have shown that

I'm fit and I don't understand

how I'm the weakest link at all.

I don't-- I don't understand

that.

Marisa, who would you

say it is?

There's different levels of

weakness, Jeff.

So I-- I'm not...

The weakest link is not...

I mean, I'm just saying.

That wasn't what he asked

you.

He said who do you think it is.

Who do you think the weakest

link is?

I-- I don't...

Assert yourself and answer

the question.

It's not that hard.

See, they don't like each

other.

That's quite clear.

I like Ben.

I like everybody, but Marisa.

You voted for Marisa

to be the leader.

And she could be the leader.

She has a very strong mind.

She knows what she's talking

about, she knows how to say it.

Clearly Marisa must

have told you what to do at some

point.

She just at one point told me

that she's starting to worry

about me, you know.

I'm walking around with

everybody in the tribe.

Well, yeah.

Doesn't mean I make an alliance

with everybody in the tribe, or

trying to stab you in the back.

But she just came right at

me, so...

Well, he did say to me

honesty is the most important

thing in this game.

So if I felt worried about him,

I wanted to be honest with him

and share that with him.

Well, as soon as she came at

me telling me that she doesn't

trust me--

I didn't say I didn't trust

you...

then immediately I can't

trust her-- immediately.

I said I was worried

about you.

Well, that's not how I

took it.

She's concerned for your

welfare, Russell.

I know.

Obviously in this game you're

not safe no matter what.

I would hate to go home right

now, but if I did something to

put a mark on my back, well,

then that was really dumb of me,

and I need to fix it.

And I can guarantee you it won't

happen again.

Okay, it is time to

vote.

Well, I know you don't need me

Hopefully, tonight's vote solved

some of the dysfunction.

Otherwise you're going to be

seeing a lot of me at Tribal

Council.

Grab your torches, head back to

Stay tuned for scenes from our

next episode.

Next time on Survivor:

An epic battle fuels bad blood

between the tribes.

Listen, ignorant, why would a

dude tackle me?

Stop!

Out of the challenge!

And Russell goes on the warpath.

She's full of crap.

She's going to pay for that

She's going to pay for that statement, I promise you.

statement, I promise you.

Tonight's really difficult

for me to swallow.

I trusted Russell initially, but

it was a mistake to say

something to him.

Because he makes trouble, and so

he made it around me.

And I'm really sad to be going

home.

I don't hold any animosity

towards anyone and I'm grateful

to have had the experience

to have had the experience however short it may have been.
