Previously on

Both tribes were

hammered hard by wind and rain.

I have never in my life been

this cold, had my hands this

destroyed, and my feet look so

miserable.

We're freezing.

But with their huge

lead in numbers and rewards--

That looks so good.

Galu still had plenty

of reason to celebrate.

After I finish this, I'll

take the whole team by myself.

The only storm Galu

couldn't weather was Shambo.

Escaped chicken, escaped

chicken.

9-1-1.

Shambo is just a complete

Gilligan who just messes things

up all the time.

On her second visit

to the Foa Foa tribe, it became

clear these were Shambo's real

friends.

I am really, really happy to

be over here with Foa Foa.

Russell, on the

other hand, had no friends,

only targets.

Marisa threatened me, Betsy

threatened me-- each time

somebody threatened me, they're

going home.

and when Liz

confronted Russell.

You are lying to me.

I'm telling you the truth.

Are you telling me I'm not

honest?

She became next on

his hit list.

But after Liz's strong effort

in another loss-- Galu wins

immunity.

Russell put his vendetta

against her on the back burner

in order to jettison the

tribe's weakest member, Ashley.

It's because of me you're

going home.

I'm out here playing for

$1 million.

Never trust me.

With only five Foa

Foa left, Liz needs a miracle

to save herself from Russell's

cruel intentions, assuming they

can all survive the conditions.

14 are left.

Who will be voted out tonight?

Are you shaking?

Yeah.

You're that cold?

I mean, I'm cold, too, but

geez.

okay, Mick's having a

seizure over here.

He's epileptic.

Since day ten, this is day

15 now, we're getting soaked at

night.

It's cold.

So, it's been pretty bad for

the last several nights.

I'll be honest, like there was

some envy last night when

Ashley went home.

There was a little tinge of

jealousy there.

I was like, "Oh, man," you know?

I really think we got

another two days of this, three

days, something.

I used to watch this cartoon

when I was growing up called

Captain Planet, and there was

always that one guy with the

ring, heart, and we always make

fun of him.

Like, "What is heart?"

Everybody else gets a real

element and you get heart."

And I really wish I had that

heart ring right now.

Because I'm tired, I'm really

hungry, and I'm sitting here

trying to battle what seems to

be a battle that fate just

doesn't want us to win.

What do you think?

Yeah.

It's not bad.

This is the man test.

If it takes seven days and

seven nights of rain for one

person to quit, I'll take it.

Hell, yeah, I'm having fun.

I'm out in the rain.

This is how I want it to be.

That sunny days we had for nine

days, I was like, "Man, this is

too pretty.

I'd take my family here."

I want to be somewhere where I

can't take my family, where

it's miserable.

What's wrong, man?

I'm so freaking cold right

now, it's ridiculous.

So silly.

I'm freezing!

Come on, man.

You can take this.

It's just a little water.

Man.

This isn't even right.

They're going to be soaking

wet, whether it stops raining

or not stops raining.

Tonight, they're going to be

wet, so this is really no big

deal.

As a matter of fact, this makes

me stronger.

A what?

It's raining.

People are miserable.

Spirits are down.

And it could all be alleviated

had Russell gotten us that tarp.

But it's just the way the game

goes sometimes.

You know, one person is elected

to make decisions for the group.

Sometimes, it puts you in a

worse position than you would

have been if you were making

those decisions for yourself.

Welcome to Samoa, brother.

Rain doesn't stop.

Russell's an animal.

Where is he?

Right there.

Oh, yeah.

Russell was out working on

the fire while every single one

of us was huddled up trying to

stay warm, just trying to keep

sane, and he's out there just

busting his butt.

For me to see that, you know,

it's awesome to see him push

himself, but, also, like, you

know, it's great that you're

out there doing it, but at the

same time, it's like, no one

expects you to do that.

You know, it might have been to

a point where it was a bit

unnecessary and went a little

bit too far.

You know what?

There's no reason to be

sitting out here right now.

I'd rather be in the

shelter, but sometimes you have

to make some deposits in case

you need any withdrawals later

on.

You know, the chief thing

counter-balances to the

negative, so just trying to

keep the fire burning.

This is buying stock low.

Hopefully I'll be able to sell

high later.

Fire looks good though, huh?

I just got a chill.

Hold on.

Careful, careful, careful!

Are you okay?

Just hand me my jacket.

Here you go.

Goodness!

Oh, that sucked.

That sucked.

Russell's definitely got

this, like, stubborn

determination to do everything.

But truth is, like, the

elements out here, like, it's

going to break you down.

He's just pushing himself too

hard and it's going to take its

toll, you know.

I can go back out there.

I just got to get my body

temperature back up.

I probably look like some

crazy person, but basically,

this spot actually is a pretty

good cover.

I can kind of-- with my body

heat, kind of keep this corner

a little bit warm.

The shelter has so many gaps in

it, that when it rains this

hard, it just pours right

through.

I can't wear my clothes because

they're all soaking wet.

So I'm just doing the best I

can at just trying to stay

semi-warm and out of the rain

and...

Just trying to get through this.

It's wet.

They don't want to get out.

Where are they all from, New

York City?

"Got to stay dry.

Can't get my hair wet."

Man, this is crazy.

You never know, man, they

might also sucking each other's

thumbs because they're just a

bunch of babies.

That's why we lose the

challenges because they're lazy.

They give up.

They start walking, they start,

"I'm too tired."

Don't stop until you throw up,

you pass out, something.

If you don't throw up after

every frickin' challenge, you

didn't do your job.

That's how I think of it.

Now, it was freezing last night,

wet, cold.

It's time to do something about

it today, but they don't want

to.

They want to sit there and suck

on their thumbs.

So I don't know how to help

them.

I don't think it's going to

stop raining.

I had been in my hole for, you

know, almost 26 straight hours

of rain, and I was laying in

the hole and I was, like, "Okay,

I give in. We give in.

We understand your greatness.

We understand your power.

And if you are kind to us, I

promise we will speak of your

mercy."

And less than 12 hours later, I

wake up from my hole, and not

only is it blue skies, but the

most beautiful rainbow you have

ever seen.

It's as if Samoa said, "That's

all I wanted to hear, Erik.

Just know I'm the man, you're

not.

Now that we got that clear,

enjoy yourself for the next 24

days."

I'm so happy.

That's a nice sign, isn't it?

That's a real nice sign.

I don't think they have a

rainbow on Foa Foa's side of

the island.

A rainbow.

That is really, really nice to

wake up to.

I mean, getting a ray of

sunshine today was like-- you

talk about lifting spirits.

You know, winning challenges

and rewards-- nothing beat this

morning.

Look at that!

I feel like we just got off

of Noah's Ark.

There actually is a sky out

there other than just clouds.

Can you believe it?

Look!

There's blue sky out there!

I think going through a storm

like this, I think it

definitely brings the tribe

together, 'cause we weathered

it all together.

Now that we're out, we know

we've got a task at hand, and

we're stronger than ever.

I mean, we really are.

Come on in, guys.

Galu, getting your first look at

the new Foa Foa tribe.

Ashley voted out at the last

Tribal Council.

All right, you guys ready to

get to today's challenge?

Yes.

For today's

challenge, one person from each

tribe will be strapped into a

large sphere.

That person will then guide two

blindfolded tribe mates as they

push the sphere through a long

course to a table maze.

The person inside the sphere

will then guide the rest of

their blindfolded tribe mates

as they navigate a ball through

a table maze to a finish hole.

First tribe to get it right

wins reward.

Want to know what you're

playing for?

Yes!

Pizza!

Hot, piping pizza.

You guys have been enduring a

lot of rain.

A nice, hot pizza will go down

really good, right?

Yes, sir.

There's one twist--

win or lose, both tribes going

to Tribal Council.

Both tribes will vote somebody

out tonight.

You'll enjoy the pizza tonight

when the winning tribe sits in

on the losing tribe's Tribal

Council.

Oh, yeah, yeah.

So, not only will

you see what is going on within

the tribe, you will do it by

enjoying pizza in front of them.

All right, Galu, you have four

extra members, sitting four

people out.

Who's going to sit out this

challenge?

You know, I feel weaker as

the days go on, but I'm the

leader.

I got to go forward.

I can't look back.

And I'm playing the game.

Monica, Kelly, Shambo, Dave.

All right, you four

take a spot on the bench.

Everybody else, give you a

minute to strategize.

We'll get started.

For Foa Foa, navigating in the

ball is Liz; pushing, Russell

and Jaison.

For Galu, it's Laura in the

ball; Russell and Erik doing

the pushing.

Here we go!

Survivors ready?

Go!

Straight, straight.

Go, go, go.

Keep going. Keep going.

Galu off to a good

start.

Okay, left, left, left.

To your left!

Good, good, good.

Keep going.

They're behind us.

Straight, straight, straight.

Right, right, go!

Foa Foa pushing

their ball right into Erik.

They're on top of Erik.

Straight, straight.

Foa Foa trying to

sneak around the right.

Liz does it.

Foa Foa now in the lead.

To your right, to your right.

To your right.

Foa Foa now off

course.

Galu now back in the lead.

Forward, forward, forward!

Laura has Russell and

Erik doing a great job.

Forward, forward, forward.

Galu right into the

tree.

Foa Foa now trying to go around

them again.

Hold it. Now forward.

They are side by

side.

Go, straight ahead.

Straight ahead.

Foa Foa now in the

lead.

Russell, push!

Under the side, Russell!

This way?

Russell, no, no.

Erik, stop.

Hold on, hold on.

One short turn.

Perfect, now bring it home.

We're almost there.

Foa Foa very close.

Galu stuck.

Come on, Galu!

Laura, direct them, Laura, we

can't hear you!

Russell, go, go, push, push.

Russell is exhausted.

Russell, push.

I'm pushing.

There you go, one more.

Okay, now--

Foa Foa.

You're good.

Now you've got to orient Liz so

she can see.

Upright.

Yeah, pull up. Pull up

Towards me!

Russ, Russ, harder, push harder.

Russell, Erik, and

Laura still struggling to get to

the finish.

Okay, now, get into your

positions.

Liz, happy where she

is.

Go, go, go.

Keep going, come on, Russ!

Galu getting very

close now.

Galu has their ball in the

right spot.

Erik gets crushed in the end.

Get to your spots!

Mick, go...

Galu put Laura in

great position.

No extra orientation needed.

Left, left, left, to your

left, left, left, left.

Left, Russ, left.

Hold on. Stop.

Russell.

Russell!

Laura trying to get

Russell on the course.

He is exhausted.

Don't fall.

He has no idea where

he's at right now.

Lean down, lean down.

Go to your right, go to your

right, go to your right.

Grab the handle!

Jaison, push your hands down.

Straight down, Mick, straight

down.

Straight down.

Foa Foa now has a bit

of a lead on the table maze.

Brett, down.

Brett down!

John, up.

The ball is right in the middle.

Don't move. Don't move.

Don't move!

Stop moving. Stop moving!

Russell, get off the table.

Russell.

Whoa?

Russell, you with me?

Hold up, hold up, hold up.

Everybody hold up.

Medical!

Hold where you are.

Everybody, hold where you are.

Hold it, hold it, Galu.

Hold it right here.

Hold right where you

are.

Yeah, yeah.

I'm good.

He-- he was out.

He was definitely out.

Yeah, I saw that.

Russell, can you sit down

for a moment?

Yeah, yeah, take

over.

Russell, sit down.

Russell.

Lie him down.

Can you get the last pack?

Russell, can you hear me?

Come on, Russ.

Russ?

Russ, talk to me.

Can someone get me that life

pack?

Danielle, can you get the

life pack?

Russell passed out during

the challenge.

I mean, I saw him stumbling

around, staggering.

And I figured it was because he

was blindfolded.

I couldn't figure out exactly

what was going on.

I should have guessed he passed

out.

Russell, you can hear me?

I'm good.

Let's go.

You passed out for a

minute.

You weren't with us for a

second.

Just relax and let them do what

they're doing.

Everybody, you can take off

your blindfolds.

Your blood pressure is really

low too, Russ.

I'm just going to have a listen

to your heart there.

I'm cool.

I mean, I was a little winded

from pushing the ball, but I'm

good.

You just need to relax just

for a little while, okay?

Ramona, what's the

update?

His blood pressure is even

lower than Mike's was.

If we stood him up now, he'd

just black out and collapse

again.

All right, here's--

here's what's going to happen.

I'm going to make a call right

now, which is this challenge is

over.

Neither tribe wins reward.

Both tribes will go to Tribal

Council tonight.

Both tribes will vote somebody

out tonight.

You're going to both head back

to camp.

We'll stay here and monitor

Russell.

If he's able to return to the

game, you'll see him at Tribal

Council.

Foa Foa, grab your stuff, head

on out.

Feel better, Russell.

All right, Galu,

grab your stuff.

Head back to camp.

We'll be waiting for you,

Russ. Get better.

We'll see you back there.

Either way, we'll

see you tonight at Tribal

Council.

Hang tight, chief.

If he comes back, I will be

shocked.

I'll be happy, but I'll be

shocked.

You think Russ is okay?

No.

You don't think he's coming

back?

No.

But I'm not a doctor, I don't

know.

Everyone's concerned about

Russell.

For Russell to go down the way

he did today, it shows you how

tough this game is.

No one has any experience with

this level of dehydration.

No one has any experience with

the level of malnutrition that

we go through.

And a guy like Russell gives

you everything he's got and

more every single time, and

then he comes back and he's a

workhorse.

And his body failed him today.

And it's so unfortunate.

I'm about to make a break

for the shelter.

I'm so sick of the rain.

Yeah, me, too.

Our leader's not here.

And that's a big hit to take.

It's kind of surreal.

We're kind of just not really

knowing really what to do.

We're used to, we're used to

rallying and saying, "Okay,

give us our game plan."

Uh, but you can't let these

emotional things distract you

too much out of the game.

You have to keep your focus.

Uh, we still are playing

the game.

We're still thinking about the

next person that, that's

going to go.

But I know my heart is really

heavy for Russell.

I just hope that he's okay.

All right, we'll try and sit

him up.

Sounds good.

All right.

I just want you to sit up

from where you are.

Just to there.

Any head spins there?

A little light-headed.

A little light-headed? Okay.

Stay exactly like that.

I'm gonna take your blood

pressure again straight away

and see what change we got.

Russ, are you okay?

Russ?

Russ? Russ? Just lie down.

Come on, Russ. Russ?

Russ? Russ, are you with us?

Lie down. Russ?

Russell.

Russ, talk to me.

Russell, Russell,

wake up, mate.

Wake up.

You there? Mm-hmm?

Do you remember what

just happened?

Huh?

His heart rate was 97 when we

sat him up, and now it's 68.

Okay?

And it dropped

like that.

It dropped really

quickly.

Just so you're clear

on what's happening is,

is we're going to have to pull

you out of the game.

There's no question to all of

us watching, brother, that, that

you are not okay.

Come on, come on.

Russell, we've hung

in there as long as we can.

You are not doing well.

I just watched your, your heart

rate plummet.

My family depends on me to

be the strong one.

Is this how you want this

to end?

No, no.

It's frustrating to be pulled

out of a game you wanted to be

a part of for so long.

You were in great shape.

You were the leader of a tribe

that was dominating.

You heard no sign that you were

going home any time soon.

You pushed and pushed and

pushed your body until your

body said, "Enough."

There's nothing about that that

is a quitter, nothing.

But I'm just dehydrated.

I'm not...

But you're not

recovering fast enough.

You need help, and if you

don't, you're gonna be worse.

Russell, I watched you black

out in front of me two times.

There's no way you could have

stayed in this game.

I'm gonna leave you alone

and stop talking.

I feel bittersweet because

we were close to winning, and

then big Russell had his

medical accident.

But when Jeff said that we

still had to go to Tribal

Council, regardless of who won

the challenge, it was

surprising, and, you know, a

little upsetting because none

of us want to go back there.

We were just there.

I'm packing my bags.

I'm for sure packing mine.

I have a fair sense of

what's going on.

There's five of us.

We're, again, one big family.

Natalie and I, we both looked

at each other and said it's

gonna be one of us.

And it will be.

I mean, at this point, we need

to continue to win, and it

doesn't make sense to vote out

one of the guys.

My gut tells me maybe I'll

stick around because I'm just

competitively stronger, but my

fate and Natalie's fate rest in

the three guys in our tribe.

Your vote's very simple

tonight.

What is it?

It's Liz. And then, uh...

She and I talked about it.

And I'm... I'm trying my

best right now.

Because you know you and Liz

are the two names, of course.

For sure. We knew that.

So, uh, 'cause I'm putting

Liz, you putting Liz.

I know I can talk Mick into

putting Liz no matter what.

I mean, no, she and I

already talked.

We know that it's pretty simple;

I'm voting for her, and she's

voting for me.

Yeah.

How what?

I'd like to stay if it's

possible.

Every time that we come

close to something good, it

kind of gets taken away.

So, winning today would have

been our revenge, you know.

They would have had to watch us

eat and, you know, understand

how we felt.

And we were winning.

I think what's the most

disheartening is not

necessarily the losses, but

just the random things that

keep happening every time you

think you have something good

to go bad.

And, you know, I really hope

Russell's okay.

I mean, that, clearly, is the

primary concern.

I agree with the decision to

cancel the challenge and all

that stuff.

It just, uh, it just kind of

sucks that when you finally

feel like you're getting in a

groove and going someplace,

it's like, "No, sorry."

Do you think we would have

won that?

I think we were winning

by a lot.

I'm just wondering, with all

the stars seeming to be aligned

against us, how many of us

actually have a shot at getting

real far, you know?

Well, I mean, look at...

This tribe could be done by

day 21, the rate we're going.

I think it could be done.

I think it can be done.

They'll have people flip

over there.

I have a feeling that

Shambo's going to be gunning

for me, and so I want to be

sure that you have my back.

Hold on, hold on.

Shh! Shh! Don't talk!

Don't talk!

They were all over, and

they're probably up here,

my crabs.

Yeah.

If we were going to Tribal

Council, right now, Shambo is

going, 100%.

Here's a medium.

From day one, she's never

really jelled with the tribe,

and she's been over to the

other tribe.

None of us have.

And so when we merge, she could

very easily flop sides.

So what's, what's the

skinny, baby?

We're voting somebody off

tonight.

I don't know, honestly, who

should go home.

I don't know.

I didn't, like, I honestly

didn't think we'd come to like

a second Tribal.

I don't know.

Ever?

I mean, I thought we would

go to the merge first.

See, I'm just asking you guys

to not write my name down today.

Mm-hmm.

I mean, I started the fire the

first eight days we were here.

Yeah.

Chief and I collected 100% of

the firewood the first eight

days we were here.

I have been a good competitor,

an honest competitor,

a fair competitor.

I have not lied to anyone in

this game.

That's fine, but despite the

fact, my name got written

down twice.

The only person here who wrote

it down last Tribal was you.

So, you're writing my name

down tonight?

I don't know if I'm writing

your name down.

I can't guarantee you anything.

Who-who made fire for you the

first eight days you were

here, Monica?

Who kept you warm and dry

and safe?

Who didn't write my

name down?

Everyone else in this tribe

except for you!

The number one reason for

voting off Shambo, for me, is

the fact she wrote my name down

last time.

And you got to take your enemy

out the minute you can, and

right now seems like an

opportune moment.

As far as the weak girls go,

who's the weakest girl?

Monica.

Totally!

Right?

Bar none.

Yeah.

And I'm sorry, as much as

people like to talk Shambo, we

would not have won the fishing

gear in that first immunity and

started this whole ball rolling

without her.

And she poses no threat

to anybody.

Exactly, exactly.

No threat.

Exactly. None.

Post-merge, she does not

have the power, the

manipulative power that a

Laura-Monica tag team or a

Laura or a Monica sole have.

Voting Shambo off doesn't do

anything beneficial for

any of us.

Monica needs to go for

several reasons:

one, Monica and Laura have this

mother-daughter/sister-sister

relationship.

Post-merge, that's gonna

be dangerous.

One of the two of them needs to

go while we still have a

chance to get 'em.

Laura will be severely weakened

without Monica.

And Monica, I think, is the

clear move because Monica

doesn't help us win challenges

at all.

Is there a better move than

than that?

'Cause I can't think of any.

This is not a bad plan.

So it's me, you, Brett, Dave

makes four.

Either Coach or Shambo come

back, we have numbers;

game over.

No one flips.

Who else out here hasn't

lied but me?

No one.

Don't vote me off tonight.

Yeah, I know that about you,

Sham, but I know... I know that

your effort speaks for itself.

Obviously, it doesn't if

you're not telling me you're

not writing my name down.

Just 'cause I'm not telling

you I'm not writing your name

down doesn't mean I'm not

writing your name down.

Okay.

Shambo is on a very

need-to-know basis.

Us four guys-- Dave, Brett, and

John-- we're pretty good about

keeping the plan within the

four of us.

We're not gonna be telling

her anything more than what she

needs to know.

So where you at tonight?

What are your thoughts?

Erik, if you were Shambo,

who would you vote for tonight?

Yeah.

Not me.

Not you.

If I was Shambo, I would

probably stay consistent.

Who?

Consistent.

I'd stay consistent.

Meaning who you voted for

last time is probably your

best bet?

You would stay consistent.

If I was Shambo.

What if you were John?

Um, I would follow

the leader; as in Shambo's

the leader.

Really?

And if you were Erik, who would

you vote for?

I'd vote for Monica.

Really?

Who are you voting

for, Shambo?

Do you get what this is

about yet?

Yeah, I do.

Mm-hmm.

Brett's down with it.

He is? Okay, good.

Dave's down with it.

And that's a wrap.

Okay, cool.

Sham, you got to lock it up.

Lock it up.

No worries.

If that's what you want from

me, that's what you've got.

And don't even-- Hounding at

this is not locking it up.

Well, this is a

first-- 13 people at Tribal

Council.

All right, let me give

everybody an update.

Russell was pulled from the

game.

After you guys left, the

doctors continued to monitor

his blood pressure, blood

pressure was steady.

Two, three minutes in, out of

nowhere, his heart rate dropped

like that.

He blacked out again, went down

on his back.

At that point, there was no

question he needed to be pulled

from the game.

It was the scariest moment I've

ever had on this show.

19 seasons, I have never been

more afraid in my life of how

bad things were.

Russell was in terrible shape.

So, the update now is that he

is in very good hands, being

monitored, doing fine.

There was no way he could have

come back into the game.

Shambo, what's your reaction to

hearing that he's no longer in

the game?

I feel really sad that

that's how he went out, because

you see this guy with this

amazing heart and spirit bigger

than life.

So, I mean, it's-- it's

terribly sad.

Russell, on one

hand, it's a break for Foa Foa.

Yeah, he was definitely the

strongest on their tribe.

But I just don't like the fact

that that's how he went out,

you know?

I mean, if I was going to beat

him, I don't want to beat him

like that.

Dave, what does it

say about this game, when

you're watching not only

somebody you're on a tribe

with, and you're also competing

against, but just another human

being, going through this

crisis?

Well, you know, it's

definitely an eye-opener for me.

I mean, you get out here and

it's like a whole different

level that I did not expect.

It's been raining for days.

We haven't been dry for more

than an hour.

It's pretty intense, easily the

hardest thing I've ever done,

and I've done a couple of hard

things in my life.

Erik, this has been

15 of the toughest days I've

seen any group go through.

I spent 22 hours in the

bottom of a tree trunk, and

with 22 hours, the inability to

sleep, you prayed about

anything that you could think

of.

Are you literally

praying?

I prayed to God.

I prayed to Samoa.

I prayed to... I don't know.

I feel like I'm in solitary

confinement for a crime I

didn't commit, and that is not

anything that was advertised.

Shambo, what is it

that keeps you from saying,

"I'm going to quit?"

I'm the 45-year-old lady

here that-- that will not quit.

And I have been, like Erik,

shivering and praying-- "Dear,

God, this is Shannon from

Renton.

Please, please, please let the

sun shine."

And as we sit here,

it is starting to pour once

again.

Yup.

You know, it's not just the

misery that the rain brings,

but it's the constant fear, the

constant torture that it's not

going to stop.

And every minute, you're

terrified.

Dave, first time

we've had everybody here

together.

What's the status of the game

right now?

Right now, it appears, you

know, just based on numbers,

that Galu is ahead.

And I don't know how their

spirits are, but they haven't

had quite the sustenance that

we have.

And I know that our spirits, in

spite of the rain, are pretty

high.

Russell, Dave thinks

Galu is winning right now.

Not so good over here at Foa

Foa?

Attitude at Foa Foa is-- is

fine.

And I think they're going to be

shocked in the next couple of

challenges because we can come

back.

We can even up them numbers,

and then it will be a different

story then.

Mick, does today's

challenge, even though we

didn't finish it, feel like a

moral victory for Foa Foa?

Yeah, absolutely.

I mean, we have to take this as

a win.

We feel like, at that point, we

were ahead, and so we'd like to

think that it would have played

out and we would have won.

Erik, it's got to

concern you a little bit.

This group of five believes

they won today's challenge.

well, they had a big win a

few challenges ago.

We came back and we brought it

again.

And now today, they got a tie,

and that's supposed to make us

nervous about a momentum shift?

I don't think so.

All right, let's get

to the topic of the vote.

Due to the unprecedented nature

of today's events, in which,

for the first time ever, we did

not complete a challenge, there

will be no Tribal Council vote

tonight.

Nobody going home.

Galu, you're not voting anybody

out.

Foa Foa, you will not vote

anybody out.

I'm seeing a lot of mixed

reactions.

Some happy people.

And some jaws that are hitting

the floor.

Erik, is this good news?

We lost a guy today.

So, whether we're voting or not

voting, we're down already.

So let's stop the bleeding at

one.

Russell, you guys

would be down to four if you

voted someone out tonight.

Yeah, I think it's the best

news I heard all day, because

right now, us five, we're the

strongest that we've ever been

this whole game.

So now, if they beat us fair and

square, then we'll send

somebody home.

But I really believe that the

table's about to turn and I'll

give 110% that it does, so I'm

going to go all out.

Erik, with every

comment from Foa Foa about

"bring it," you're getting more

and more forward.

Let's line it up and let's

do a challenge right now.

You know, because that's what

Russell would do.

He'd be saying, "Are you

kidding me?

There's five of them over there

and there are eight of us over

here."

I don't know if there's emotion

in me that comes up, but every

bead of sweat that he put into

everything he ever did, we're

bringing that to you.

We will bring that every day,

every challenge.

We welcome it.

Well, it is clear

that the events of today have

only intensified the rivalry

between these two tribes.

Foa Foa believes they've got a

moral victory today, and now

they can turn this game around.

And Galu believing, "Even

though we lost Russell, his

spirit is still with us and we

will continue to dominate this

game."

We're in store for a great

finish.

There is one order of

business-- Galu, you are now

without a leader.

Somebody come grab this.

When you get back to camp,

assign a new leader.

That concludes things for

tonight.

Foa Foa, grab your torches head

back to camp.

Galu, grab your torches.

Head back to camp.

Good night.

Being taken out of the game

for medical reasons is the worst

thing I've ever felt in my life.

One, two, three, lift.

I played every minute to win

this game.

And to have my body fail me is

utterly demoralizing.

But even though it pains me to

not be in it, to do it and fail

is better than to never try.

Stay tuned for

scenes from our next episode.

Next time on

At Galu, the guys

make Shambo one of their own.

Only strategic drawback is

that Shambo is so dim that she

could screw up our plan.

And a Russell seed

gets planted in the other tribe.

What I have to do now is

work my Houdini magic.

What are we going to do?

Go to the final two, the two of

us?

Final two.

I'm really ashamed that, you

know, I'm not in the game

anymore.

And I'm angry, because I'm a

fighter.

But at the same time, I have to

be realistic because I have to

get well, because I have an

even bigger job to do, one that

I love, one they cherish every

day.

And that's being a husband to

my wife a father to my child.
