JONATHAN LAPAGLIA: Previously...

Max, he screwed over his own allies.

..on Australian Survivor...

Laura is actually quite rational.

..Myles talked his way to the bottom of the Brain Tribe again.

Can you go easy on the strat chat?

And Mad Max was faring no better...

All hope is lost.

..until an Idol changed his fortune.

Celebratory drink, anybody?

At the Immunity Challenge, Brains 2.0 continued to dominate.

If you guys are just going to vote out a Brain,

shouldn't you just throw?

And no-one could convince them...

(CHEERING) Yeah, Paulie!

..to give up the win.

Ah! Oh!

(CHEERING)

AJ came up with a devious plan to take control of the game...

I call this plan Take Hostages.

The other tribe better throw the next challenge

or these hostages are going home.

..but not everyone agreed with his hostile tactics.

These are my hostages.

I'm completely against taking hostages.

It's terrible.

You never want to back someone into a corner

to make them work with you.

You want them to come of their own accord.

Sign me up. (LAUGHTER)

Beautiful! Volunteers.

With the captives now secured...

I don't think that they will throw challenges.

..it was time to send a message to the OG Brawn.

Ursula, that's five votes. That's enough.

The tribe has spoken. OTHERS: Aw!

16 are left.

Who will be going home tonight?

(INSECTS BUZZ)

(BACKGROUND CHATTER)

Man, I'm so happy.

Everything worked out really well.

LOGAN: I'm pissed.

There was a reason that I decided not to work with AJ

at the OG Brains tribe.

Because he's an idiot.

Guys, sorry,

just as a collective,

can we rein AJ in a little bit?

Please?

Is he freaking you out, as well?

Always. KARIN: A little. Always.

This is why I didn't work with him on the Brains tribe,

because he does this.

AJ deciding to ask the other tribe to throw the challenges is insane

because they're going to vote out one of our allies.

And that puts Laura,

who is my number one ally, in danger.

He literally just said,

"I don't care about your life in the game," about our allies.

Did anyone...?

Yeah, but he was making dumb moves that affect us.

Yeah.

He's...

The AJ plan right now is so individual to his game.

And that's so frustrating because there's three more of us

in your alliance right now that you need to take care of.

And we also need to take care of the other four Brains

on the other side.

How are you feeling?

Yeah.

Shall we go for a little walksies? Yeah.

I think once he gets an idea, it's like monkey symbols in his head

and he doesn't hear a single thing.

I'm over it.

Firstly, do you trust AJ?

No. No. OK, cool.

I don't trust AJ.

And I'm halfway there with Karin right now

because I think she's been controlled by AJ.

OK. So, that's...

I'm glad to hear that because... Yeah.

..like, after AJ's...

What he did yesterday, like, he gave me the whole pitch -

that, oh, he wants to work with me and do all this.

And then, his move is to get rid of my closest ally...

Yeah. ..and then make me a hostage.

"I get to choose who goes home out of my hostages."

Yeah. Oh, my God.

And then, even his, like, whole game is, like,

he literally burnt all the four Brains.

It was just... You do not care for any of the allies

you're working with on this tribe or that tribe.

Yeah. Like, and you've openly said it!

Like, that's crazy! Yeah.

Yeah.

Anyway, so we just need to keep this quiet from them

because he'll freak out. 100%.

AJ is playing AJ's game.

Yeah.

Lie. Manipulate.

And I don't want to play along with it

because, as a firefighter, I play with respect.

I really have learned to trust my gut,

to trust my instinct,

and I don't trust him at all.

(LAUGHS)

(LAUGHS)

No?

Yeah.

I'm just going to play along with AJ,

make him think that I'm still...

"Oh, yes, AJ, you're playing such a great game.

"What would you like to do? "I'll do whatever you want to do."

But...

..I don't like what he did.

And I want to get rid of him instantly.

(CLUCK!)

MYLES: Yeah, because, obviously, I've been kind of on the bottom

the whole time, so it's like...

Besides AJ, I'm close with AJ, but besides...

JESSE: Why do you think you ended up on the bottom so...?

Well, here's the thing - I'm a big fan,

and I also love talking about it, as well.

And there were a lot of people that, like, came out, like, chatting

and got really... (FADES OUT)

Also, to be fair, part of it was my own fault.

I came out really hot, as well, and I was like running around.

I think I got... Like, I was on no sleep.

I was running around like,

"Oh, here's an idea of this person, this person."

If that makes sense? Big time.

Um, so, yeah, like, I get along with all of them.

Like, there were no, like, dramas with that, in that...

To be honest, the last couple of days have been really hard.

I have not felt like I've been making strong social connections

with these ex-Brawns.

Very interesting, all of that.

Yeah.

I've spent a lot of time in this game on the bottom.

And then, even once I started gaining

a little bit of traction on Brains 1.0,

I got shunted in the swap to the bottom of Brains 2.0.

(INDISTINCT AMIABLE CHATTER)

Can the OG Brawns go look for some wood together?

It's making me really nervous.

I love this game more than anything.

I'd love to be out there chatting to people,

understanding the dynamics, making plans.

The OG Brains, we're on a 5-4 minority.

Us four Brains are probably in a spot of trouble

if we were to go to Tribal Council.

And it's even worse than that because I'm there with my nemesis,

Mad Max, the jungle cat.

Except you guys.

Big trouble.

And I suspect he's out for my blood.

The new Brain tribe is magical.

Whoa! Way-ya!

(LAUGHS)

Before this tribe swap, I had a target on my back.

Myles and his newly found posse were coming after me.

But now,

things are going my way.

Oh, isn't our new tribe just beautiful?

WOMAN: (LAUGHS)

I'm working my way into these ex-Brawns' tribe.

And I am... I am a very genuine person.

(LAUGHS) Trust me, I swear!

(LAUGHS) Trust...

(IN A SILLY VOICE) Trust me, I swear I am. Yeah.

I've got an Immunity Idol in my pocket.

And I feel like the ex-Brawns really have taken a liking to me.

Yeah.

So I'm feeling good about my position in the game.

OK, so...

..Myles is the next vote, you reckon?

Well, are you alright with that?

Oh, yeah, for sure. Yeah?

In fact, if you can promise me that,

I'll be very happy.

This is music to my damn ears.

This was everything I've ever wanted.

I will. Yeah, yeah.

I want to see Max time.

You will see Max time.

Especially when that little...

Hey!

They're wanting Myles first vote.

Yeah. That doesn't surprise me.

(CHUCKLES) Yeah. Yeah, yeah.

Yeah. Bye!

(BOTH LAUGH)

Been waiting and waiting and waiting.

Tried before to get him out.

But now is the perfect time to strike

because I have a damn army behind me.

Come on in.

ZARA: Oh, my gosh!

JESSE: Sandbags, canoes.

Oh, my God. Where's the canoe going to go?

Oh, no!

LAURA: And there are balls there.

They have our names on them.

Brains, get your first look at the new Brawn tribe.

Urs.

Ursula voted out at last night's Tribal Council.

JESSE: Ursula! Crazy!

Oh, my God!

You took out all the muscle.

ZARA: None of us thought that.

PD: Damn!

MORGAN AND ZARA: Wow!

JESSE: Oh, God.

Morgan, are you surprised to see Ursula gone?

I am, to be honest.

We all had a few bets last night as to what we thought.

And none of us picked Urs.

Who did you pick?

That's a secret, guys.

(LAUGHTER)

So, AJ, would you like to provide some context

around Ursula's departure?

So, last night, I sat in Tribal

and I said, "I have four hostages...

"..and if this other tribe doesn't start throwing...

"..I'm going to walk one off the plank

"every single tribal immunity."

So, you guys can throw or...

..we can just lose, and Brawn can go home

and see you guys at Merge.

Wow.

That was a pitch. That's the pitch?

That's the pitch.

Three Brawn hostages.

What about us?

ZARA: You don't care about your originals?

Thanks, AJ.

Just hanging us out to dry.

KRISTIN: Just so you know, that pitch is just coming from AJ.

Yeah, this is an AJ exclusive.

What..? This guy's delusional.

I didn't know he had so many gonads in those board shorts, mate.

Look at him go.

He is tough after all.

(LAUGHS)

See how it pans out.

Wow. A lot going on.

Are you ready to get to today's Immunity Challenge?

ALL: Yeah.

Jesse. See you, buddy!

Thank you.

Once again, immunity is back up for grabs.

For today's challenge,

you're going to race to unload heavy sandbags

from a canoe loaded with puzzle pieces.

You'll then drag the canoe up the shore

and use those pieces to solve a puzzle.

When you get it right, you'll each attempt to land a ball

in a high gutter.

First tribe to land all their balls wins immunity

and is safe from the vote.

Losers, Tribal Council, where somebody is going to become

the eighth person voted out.

Brains, you've got two extra.

You're going to need to sit out two today.

Cannot be the same in back-to-back challenges.

Who's it going to be?

What? Yeah, I'm thinking me.

Provided that you guys are going to try and win it for us!

LAURA: Yeah! We trust you.

Let's try and win, please.

MORGAN: Yeah.

MAX: (INAUDIBLE)

Yeah. Let's not let not let him get into our heads.

Let's just win, OK?

OK.

Kate and Zara.

Alright, Kate and Zara, you're on the bench.

Everyone else, a minute to strategise,

and we will get to it.

Alright, here we go. For immunity.

Survivors, ready?

Go!

ZARA AND KATE: Come on, Brains!

This first part of the challenge is just pure grunt work.

You need to unload 50 very heavy sandbags

from your canoe before you can move on.

Grab that one, Myles.

Brawn wasting no time.

They do not want to go back to Tribal tonight.

KATE: Let's go, Brains!

Myles digging in, giving it everything.

MAX: Come on, boys.

(GRUNTING WITH EFFORT)

OK, lifting on the sides and...

Brawn quickly get it done.

You're good, Brawn.

It's Kaelan and Kristin at the front.

Everyone else pushing on that canoe.

We lift at the front, you guys push in the back.

That canoe is heavy and it is awkward.

Finally, Brains have their canoe unloaded.

Wait, push.

You going to push or pull?

I don't know. Lift it up.

Brawn showing what they're made of.

Picking up the whole thing.

Just going to carry it.

KRISTIN: Nearly there.

LOGAN: Go, go, go!

It has to hit...

KAELAN: Yeah, that's it.

Get it in position. There it is. You're good.

That's it. We got it.

Unload your puzzle pieces.

Alright, they slide out.

Brawn have a very nice lead in this challenge.

Can they keep it going?

KATE: You got this, Brains! Come on!

Ready? Three. Two. One. Go!

Up! Oh, just digging in, PD.

Struggling to get it moving.

Question is, after AJ's proposal,

are they really having that much trouble with their canoe?

ALL: Ready? Three. Two. One. Go!

Three. Two. One. BEN: Go back, go back!

Come on, guys.

See if you can lift it from here or not.

MYLES: Three. Two. One. Go!

Three. Two. One.

AJ: (LAUGHS)

Brawn... KAELAN: Flip 'em, flip 'em all.

..just powering ahead.

They have all their puzzle pieces.

15 slats,

need to slide them into the frame.

PAULIE: We got to find the bottom.

Is it that one there?

Looking to solve a five-word phrase.

The bottom piece is either here or here, but...

Oh, no, it could be either. OK, it could be this one.

AJ taking charge for Brawn.

ZARA: I cannot believe AJ just did that.

Yeah.

Yeah, that's really silly to do at this stage, I think.

Noonan sliding in the first piece.

Yeah, AJ, you straighten up. Yeah.

Brawn are a well-oiled machine today.

Yeah. Beautiful. Just powering through.

LAURA: Three. Two. One. Push.

(GRUNTING WITH EFFORT)

Brains finally have their canoe on the move...

Oh, my God! (BLEEP!)

..but it's painful to watch.

It's inch by inch.

How is this so heavy?

Three. Two. One. Go!

Brains are nowhere in this challenge.

JESSE: Alright, let's go four points of contact.

PAULIE: Good job, guys, we're doing so well.

They're still... Ah!

Oh! Sorry, babes! Impaled! I'm impaled!

MYLES: Oi! Come on, let's go!

Finally, Brains are getting some pace,

slowly working their way up the beach.

Oh!

Come on, Brains, you need to pick it up.

Right back in!

Three. Two. One. Go!

LAURA: Keep going, keep going, keep going, keep going, keep going!

Oh!

OK. You're good. Start unloading your pieces. Come on, Brains!

Myles, go and have a look.

KARIN: Yes, yes. There's a curve. That's a C.

Brawn have half their puzzle done.

KRISTIN: What is it? In goes the next piece.

LOGAN: Has an Idol. Ooh!

MORGAN: Whoa! Shit!

Brawn have it worked out

that the puzzle is actually a message.

KATE: It says, "One of the sandbags contains an Idol."

ZARA: Go find it, Laura!

Quick, go look for it.

MYLES: Wait!

MAX: There is no Idol. Get back here!

Oi! Come on, let's go!

LAURA: Come on, guys! (BLEEP!) Far out.

Get back!

What is it?

Brawn have over half of their puzzle done.

They have it worked out that the puzzle...

PAULIE: "Sandbag."

..is actually a message.

Guys, guys, it is,

"One of your sandbags contains an Idol."

LAURA: Oh, my God!

Idol! Should we go look for the idol?

KATE: Oh, shit! It says,

"One of the sandbags contains an Idol."

Quick, go look for it.

ZARA: Go find it, Laura.

Laura and Jesse head back to the sandbags.

MYLES: Oh, shit! Someone help me push...

50 sandbags, that's a lot to search through.

Who's going to find it?

Ben going back now.

Wait, Ben!

JESSE: In them!

Laura, Ben and Jesse searching through sandbags.

Morgan breaks away.

She's going to go for the Idol.

OG Brawn abandoning the challenge.

Oh, my God.

(BLEEP!) Far out.

Get back!

I'm staying.

MAX: There is no Idol. Get back here!

Well, I mean, if it says it on the paint.

All that OG Brawn,

no help for Brains today.

BEN: May as well keep looking, guys. We're not helping them on that.

They don't seem too fazed

about joining me at Tribal Council tonight.

PD: Yeah, no, we need to put... That! That!

KRISTIN: Help straighten up. AJ: Just make sure it's straight.

Brawn down to their last two pieces.

Yep! KARIN: One more.

Then they can move on.

Last one.

Good! You're good, Brawn!

PAULIE: Help her! Hey, come help her!

Sorry about your shoulders. KAELAN: It's OK!

Well done, well done.

Now you each have a ball.

You each need to land it on the gutter.

Uh!

AJ: Whoever lands it, just go look for the Idol.

NOONAN: Ah! Everyone have one go.

Nice, Lo!

Logan lands her ball.

She's going back.

Meanwhile, it's still Ben, Morgan, Laura and Jesse

searching for Brains.

MYLES: Yep. OK.

"Sandbag."

Here's our middle of "sandbags". We need bottom of "sandbags".

MAX: I'm getting middle ready.

Yep, there we go. Swap out, swap out.

AJ gets one.

LOGAN: AJ has been an absolute menace.

BEN: He's blowing shit up, huh?

He's blowing up everyone's game. JESSE: (LAUGHS)

Well, why is everyone listening to him?

KRISTIN: Nice. KAELAN: There we go.

Kaelan lands the next one.

He's going to join Logan for that Idol search.

(GIGGLES) This is...

This is crazy.

Ben! Ben, we need your height, bro!

Brains yelling at Ben to come back and help with that puzzle.

He's ignoring them... Ben!

..desperate to find that Idol.

OK, Maxie, put me on your shoulders. You ready?

KATE: Go, Brains, you're still in this!

Yeah!

AJ: Nice and high. The higher, the better.

There we go! That's a throw.

PAULIE: Going in to get the Idol.

Noonan, she lands her ball. She's heading out.

Hey, guys, get anyone who's finished to come help

Noonan, yell out to them to come. NOONAN: Yeah.

PD: Keep going! Go on, Give it a push!

Ah! There we go, there we go, there we go!

Finally, Brains finished their puzzle.

They can move on.

Oi! We've done the puzzle!

Ben! Je...!

We got the puzzle done.

Oh, my God. Far out.

We've got the puzzle done, just get to the mat

so we can bloody throw it and just win.

LAURA: Win?

PD, Max and Myles give up on the challenge

and just head out for the Idol.

We can win this challenge.

Far out.

KATE: No-one even cares about the challenge.

MAN: I don't even want an Idol.

There you go! Go search.

It's up to Karin now.

Do you want to just stop and look for the Idol?

We've won this no matter what. You search, I'll keep going.

OK. (LAUGHS)

These all been searched? Yeah, yeah.

Come here, and they're so easy to untie. Untie them and lift.

Brawn down to one ball.

Come on!

What do they do? It's a real dilemma.

KRISTIN: I'm tired of looking.

Yeah. We need this Idol to come out, guys!

LAURA: Come on. Come on, Idol.

PAULIE: This is wild, guys.

I've opened so many frigging sandbags.

Stop!

Kristin's got it. Let's go!

Oh, you got it?

Kristin finds the Idol for Brawn.

Oh!

KARIN: Jesus.

Karin working that last ball by herself.

Here she goes. Going for the win!

In and out.

Jesus.

Brains still searching through sandbags.

KATE: Cor, it's like Christmas without the presents.

Oi, let's just win the challenge and we can all be safe.

Oi! I got the Idol. Let's go, pricks!

Myles finds the Idol for Brains.

I've got it! Let's just go.

Let's just win this challenge. It doesn't matter.

(JESSE CHUCKLES)

LAURA: What now? Myles got the Idol, so...

(BLEEP!) Great.

Oi! Come on, let's go.

Is it actually the idol? Show me. Yeah, it's actually the idol.

Far out. It was just floating around.

Brains coming back.

They're going to continue with the challenge now.

Will it be too little, too late?

BRAINS: Oh!

Can Karin do it on this shot?

No. (BLEEP!)

(BRAINS CHEER)

Jesse gets the first one to stick for Brains.

KATE: Go, Jesse! LAURA: Go, PD!

(BRAINS CHEER) PD lands one, right behind him.

(CHEERING)

Brawn had a huge lead.

Brains closing that gap.

MORGAN: Hey... Oh!

(BLEEP!)

Come on!

Karin's starting to feel the pressure now.

She needs to close it out.

LOGAN: Come on, Kazzie!

Brains are getting close.

AJ: Let's go, Kaz!

Ah! And there it is! Karin does it!

Brawn wins immunity,

sending Brains to Tribal Council.

Well done.

AJ: Nice, Kristin.

Myles...

Good luck.

So, Myles,

Brains lost but successful challenge for you.

Yeah, I guess you could say that.

Ideally, I would have loved to win the challenge and get the Idol.

But, you know, a little bit of safety tonight makes it alright.

And, Kristin, I see you got a little bonus also.

Yes. Very exciting.

I was trying to keep it a secret, but Noonan threw me under the bus,

so it's out there.

Alright. Well, congratulations, Brawn.

Thank you.

Immunity is yours. You are safe. Beautiful. Thank you so much.

Not going home tonight. Yes!

Good job, guys. Yes!

Alright, you can head on out. Enjoy your night off.

Good luck, guys.

See you later.

Alright, Brains, Tribal Council tonight,

where one of you will become the eighth person voted out.

Head on out.

I'll see you tonight. See you there.

This is the worst possible thing that could have happened.

Myles has found himself an Idol.

It was going to be a very simple vote.

We were going to get rid of this jungle rat once and for all.

You just had to complicate things, didn't you, Myles?

KATE: Good try, guys.

ZARA: Such a great effort, guys.

That was super hard. WOMAN: Yeah, that was hard.

Thanks for giving it your all.

That was incredibly frustrating.

I know the OG Brawns threw the challenge.

Basically, they were just, like, not trying at all.

And that caused us to lose.

And now we have to go to Tribal Council.

I don't think the boat was that heavy.

I don't think they were pulling that hard.

Yeah. Yeah.

What should we do?

Should we all go for a chat or chat to these guys?

AJ's move at the challenge was completely nuts.

Just openly declaring that he's going to sacrifice

one of our players every time he goes to Tribal Council.

So we decided as a collective to throw the challenge.

We're protecting our OG Brawns in Paulie, Noonan and Kristin.

We realise we're so close to Merge, and if we can go in Brawn-strong,

it's going to be huge for all our games.

But Myles having an Idol

has really put a spanner in the works.

I've got a few ideas. Let's all just float our ideas.

This was a simple, simple vote until he found that Idol.

KATE: So, I have an idea.

I think we have to put majority on Max...

..and then flush the Idol with Myles.

Yeah.

Flush the idol. Flush the idol.

Yeah. We've got five votes.

So, we have to have four of us on Max.

Is there a chance that Myles could play the Idol for Max?

Because he's got this colourful past with him,

and then, he could be, like, playing some crazy move?

Ah, he still could.

He definitely could do that.

If Myles plays that Idol correctly, one of us could be in trouble.

So we now need to really put some confusion

amongst the OG Brains.

We can just fluster them all.

PD: Can I say I reckon there'll be one standard response

because they'll all ask the question, right?

So if there's one answer that just says, "You're good..."

Or...

"..we're voting on one of the other three."

Just make Myles nervous.

And if he's nervous, he'll play it for himself.

And then we can take Max out.

I am disappointed that we're going to Tribal Council tonight.

But Myles has an Idol.

Myles has an Idol...

..which is amazing

because the OG Brains are in a minority.

But with Myles's Idol, I think we can finally make a move.

OK.

They are going to flush Myles's Idol.

I think they're going to split on Myles and someone else.

So I need to make sure that Max is definitely with us

because we need him as a number to get rid of these Brawns.

MYLES: OK. Yeah, let's hear it, Laurs.

Are we all staying together? We're all staying together.

Yeah, we're all staying. OK.

We need a game plan. Yeah, I want to hear the plan.

You saw them throw that challenge today, right?

Here's what I said to Max.

They are thinking right now

what the splits are going to be on you.

They will split. Yeah.

And if Myles plays the Idol for the right person,

we come in with four, we're done.

A Brawn's going to go home.

I think they think that I'm just too selfish,

that I'm not going to play it.

That's what I mean. I think they're going to split it.

So, I think our plan is to play the Idol correctly,

which I think is one of you two.

If I was them, I would dump it on me.

Yeah. That's I would do.

What we're trying to do right now is, as a four, is keep you here.

That's what we're trying to do.

Then who do we want out? Who do we vote for?

Yeah, I reckon Kate.

Yeah. Mm.

And the only reason why is because she's very social and outgoing.

And then also, Kate's going to be a real beast

late game in those challenges.

What if I...?

You hang and...

You just need to make sure that you vote with us, Maxie.

And Max, you're in the circle of trust now,

so if you do anything to us, I will kill you.

(LAUGHS) Um...

Just don't flip. It's just not smart.

(EXHALES SHARPLY) Yeah.

This is where we're coming from.

Yeah. This is where...

Yeah, this is where the shit goes down.

I need you to look me in the eye, Max,

and say that you're with us.

Yeah. Yeah.

It's going to be a party, that's for sure.

KATE: It's already open? MAX: Yeah, isn't it open?

Oh, yeah. No.

# Coconut party. #

Yes. Thank you, sir.

Tonight, the plan being dictated to me

is to stick with the Brains.

So, myself, Myles, Zara and Laura...

..will vote Kate.

Explains your mood. (LAUGHS)

What?

But, baby, that doesn't work for me.

Zara and Myles,

I don't trust them at all.

Zero.

The Brains are annoying.

They were just trying to manipulate me.

JESSE: Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Because I want to ride with you guys.

Now, I don't mind...

BEN: Do you reckon he's going to play that Idol tonight?

Yes.

But I do feel...

I actually genuinely feel

he's probably not going to play it for himself.

OK.

Yeah, but, so, if we... We could get him, then.

We could get him. Yeah.

I don't hate that idea.

I'd really... I'd buy into that idea.

That means I want to be brought in on the strat chats.

Yeah. ..and I want to be part of it then.

Yeah.

Because they want me to try and lie to you guys...

Yeah.

..and get, like, information from you.

But I'm kind of...

I don't trust Myles. I don't trust Zara.

Zara just said, "If you flip, I'll kill you."

I like Laura. She's a friend.

But Myles...

..he's my mortal enemy.

A lying little jungle rat.

And Zara, she just threatened me.

So, I need to concoct a plan with my new friends.

This will burn my bridge with Laura, which I'm a bit worried about,

but I'd prefer to roll into Merge with you guys.

Oh...(BLEEP)..yeah!

Yeah, let's shake some things up.

I would love... I would love for Myles to play

his Idol for somebody else and go home.

Yeah. So, what...

That would be amazing. Let's look at the split.

They've got three votes. Yeah.

So, what have we got? Six votes. Yeah.

We go, three Myles, three Zara.

It'll be a revote.

And then...

Yeah.

Zara goes home. Yeah, I'm happy with that.

Does that make sense? BOTH: Yeah.

Bang! Three-three-three split.

And then, it's win-win either way.

Revote, we can't lose, so...

This is it. Like, this is where...

..where I can cement myself... Yeah.

..with you guys.

This is the perfect plan.

I'm working with the five Brawns.

This is it. I am voting for Myles.

OK.

Plus...

..let's not forget about my little sweetheart...

..Jezebel.

This, here, my lady,

my girlfriend on this island,

she's going to get me to the end...

OK, I'm going to go now.

..because I want to take control of this game.

I want to be in power.

I don't know if you know this about me,

but I love power.

So, tonight, it's going to be awesome.

I've decided to roll with the Brawns.

Yeah. So, yeah,

I want to work with you guys. Yeah.

I love that you guys are loyal and good, and...

Yeah. ..I feel good about that.

Yeah.

The other Brains, I can't trust them

for a bar of soap, man. Yeah.

But, yeah, if I come with you tonight, which I will...

Yeah.

Yeah, yeah, they're... they're on it.

And then, who do you think the other crew's going to vote for?

Don't know. Who cares? It doesn't matter.

Who cares? Yeah.

I'm looking you in the eye, I'm 100% with you.

I swear on my life. Let's do it. Let's go Merge...

I really want to play with you guys.

It's smarter. It's easier.

It's people I really like. Yeah.

And then, we could just go to the Promised Land.

Just go to the Promised Land.

This is an integral move for my game.

Because if Myles plays his Idol for himself,

Zara goes home.

If Myles plays his Idol for Zara,

Myles goes home.

Oh, it's exciting!

Yeah, I can't wait. Ah!

It's a win-win situation for me, baby.

(LAUGHS)

But I'm thinking we can make this even better.

I need to talk to my pal Laura.

If we can get Laura on board, Zara and Myles will only have

two votes to throw our way,

meaning we can't lose.

That's why we're going to stick together.

I want to go with them.

You want to go with them?

(SIGHS)

In fact, I would much rather go to Merge

and work with these Brawns.

No. I like them a lot.

Yeah.

I'm worried.

Currently there is a plan, but for it to actually happen,

I need Max to vote with me.

I just don't... Why do you want to work with them?

Because we have the numbers.

If they're going to split, we could finally do it.

We could just break the Brawn.

Yeah, but I've wanted Myles gone for so long.

And I want Zara gone.

I can't work with them.

Zara's got awful bedside manner.

She's rude to me. She's rude to everyone.

She's negative.

Myles, I just can't wait to get him out because it's fun.

I do.

I can't wait to send Myles and Zara packing.

It's like my dream.

Yeah, but, like, that's not smart.

When we get to Merge,

you're going to be at the bottom of their alliance.

Not necessarily.

I'm a people's person. I'm actually not too worried about that

if I'm being completely honest with you.

Trust me. This is...

We're building trust right now.

I know, I know.

We're going to be involved in their chats.

OK. We're pirates, baby.

OK. We're pirates.

This is a very, very risky move.

But Max is sure.

And because Max is not going to stick with us Brains,

I need to save my own skin and flip, too.

ZARA: What's the update?

OK. Um...

Um...

I'm going to be honest. Mm-hm.

I-I, I can't...

..we are next.

How do you know that?

He told you that he's with them? Yeah.

I'm telling you this because I think

that it is dumb of us to not vote with them.

Mm.

I know that I came in guns blazing

saying that we need to stick together

but because Max is categorically not -

I know that... Mm.

Yeah.

Otherwise, we're easy pickings.

And then he goes home?

(BLEEP) Yeah.

I don't know what to say.

I feel awful.

Myles is in my core alliance,

and even though he's irritating Laura and I,

I think he is a good person

and he's extremely loyal.

But I don't have a move.

There's nothing that I can...

We are keeping our heads afloat until Merge.

OK.

Look, the only thing that I can do is vote for Myles...

..which is pretty brutal, but that's my only option right now.

Hi. I'm just saying...I'm saying...

Yeah, I think that we're in a bit of strife.

Ah, it's me, apparently.

Let's just keep reading the room.

Hello. Hi. How are you doing?

Well, Max. Max's idea was for us to vote on Zara...

Zara. And?

Myles.

He wants to come with us, and he wants to see...

He made a bargain. He's like,

"I want to solidify my bond with you guys.

"I want to be brought in on strat chats.

"I want to be a part of this in the Merge."

Hm. Mm.

Yeah, of course it does... He's a good actor, though.

Yeah. He is a good actor.

But that doesn't mean he won't work with us now, I'm not saying that.

So, let's talk about this one more time.

Do we keep saying Max?

If we're scared of an Idol, if Max has an Idol.

Max doesn't have an have an Idol. He seems desperate.

Is the three-three-three thing a bad idea?

I don't trust him enough.

He's getting in your head. Yeah.

If there's three of them staying strong...

We stick to the plan, I think.

OK. Yeah, cool.

Who else...?

Oh, yeah. For sure.

Yeah, we love...we love having you around.

Yeah, it's all good.

MYLES: To be honest, I've got no idea who to play the Idol for.

I could just play it safe and use it for myself.

But Zara has been one of my closest allies

throughout this game,

and I need allies if I am able to make it to Merge.

So, I'm willing to play my Idol for Zara,

but I'm still going to have to be on full alert tonight.

(GIGGLES)

(CHUCKLES) How did he...?

MAX: A lot is going down tonight.

I'm rolling with the Brawns

to either get out Myles or Zara,

depending on where Myles plays his Idol.

And if Tribal Council blows up

and they all start talking about me,

sweet Jezebel,

my lovely little immunity Idol,

is going to come to my side

and drag me out of the mud.

JESSE: I'm starving, eh?

I'm hungry...

..hungry for some Tribal Council. Yeah, baby!

Experience the game like never before,

with extended Tribal Councils, unseen moments, interviews

and more over on 10Play.

JONATHAN: So, Ben. Yeah.

Do you find it incredible that it's day 19

and you've barely come to Tribal Council?

I mean, it was a couple times at the start, and that's it, really.

Yeah, I've missed you!

(LAUGHS) I've missed you!

(LAUGHS) Yeah, it's been a while.

We haven't been here since the Nash vote,

so, yeah, it's kind of good to be back.

Really? Yeah, it's game on now.

But Max, as you know, trouble can get a little hectic sometimes.

Trouble can get pretty gnarly.

Sometimes the adrenaline's pumping through the blood.

Everyone's a bit excited.

You think you know what's going on.

Some people know what's going on, some people don't.

Are you worried about being back here again?

No, I'm feeling pretty good.

I've met some really good people.

I think tonight, for me, is going to be about...

..building trust.

What about for you, Myles?

Has avoiding Tribal affected your game in any way?

Well, considering I spent a lot of this game

on the bottom of the tribe,

it's been nice to, obviously, avoid Tribal a little bit.

That being said, uh, moving through into this new tribe,

I'm not sure I'm feeling any better

about my position in the tribe.

Additionally, everyone here knows that AJ is probably the only person

that I'm particularly close with on the OG Brains,

and AJ did a very big hand-wavy declaration of war today

against the Brawn, so I'm really nervous about my spot.

Alright, Ben,

well, look, in every tribe there's a hierarchy.

Who do you think is on the top of this tribe?

Oh, look, we've got five OG Brawns here,

so four OG Brains.

You know, this vote should be pretty simple,

but it's not because old mate Myles over here

found a little floating Idol today,

and now everyone's in trouble.

Jesse, has Myles's Idol made you guys reconsider what the plan is tonight?

Yes.

We had a few plans in mind prior to the Idol being discovered,

and the Idol did throw a spanner in the works,

so we've had to move a few players on the chessboard

and things like that.

So, hopefully, it all works out in our favour tonight.

But, Laura, is one of those choices four of you sticking together

and wisely playing Myles's Idol and taking out one of the OG Brawn?

It's definitely a choice on the table, for sure.

Myles's Idol has changed a lot,

and so we have to figure out how best to move forward with it.

What's your take, Myles?

Uh, my take is that an Idol will keep you safe for one Tribal.

If we find ourselves back at Tribal,

then I'm potentially in trouble again.

Like, an ally is worth far more than an Idol is.

So, Zara, clearly the OG Brains are in the minority on this tribe.

And with Myles safe,

does that mean you potentially could be a target tonight?

Uh, it does potentially mean I could be a target tonight.

Um, going back to AJ's declaration of war,

I came into this tribe as a lover, not a fighter.

I wanted to build bridges and make connections

because I think, come Merge, we're all going to need each other.

So, that was my way of going about it -

building bridges, not bombing them.

But, Max, it seems like AJ might have painted you into a corner.

Um, I'm in this position of power. I could...

A little swing vote.

So I'm choosing who I vote for tonight

based on who do I see moving forward to Merge with

and, uh, I think the people I'm choosing tonight,

we're going to be a goddamn steam train, Jonathan.

Wow, Laura, Max has just been completely open about it.

He says, "I'm going to be a swing vote tonight."

Yeah, well, I think he is.

All of us Brains have a choice to make.

And I think any way forward, we can be a steam train.

Um, but, yeah, we've got a big choice to make.

I mean, Max, is Merge too far away to let it affect your vote tonight.

I mean, some of you won't even make Merge.

Uh, I think you've got to start thinking ahead.

You've got to pick who you're going to go to war with.

If you just sit there in cruise control,

you're going to get to the Merge, whenever it may be,

and you're not going to be on the right side of the numbers.

So, Max, you think you're on the right side

of the numbers tonight?

I think, after tonight, yes.

How about you, Myles?

Do you think you're on the right side of the numbers?

I've got no idea, Jonathan.

You have no idea?

I have no idea whether I'm on the right side of the numbers.

Obviously, I'm hoping I am.

And I've put trust in certain people.

Uh, but, yeah, I don't know.

Well, there's only one way to find out.

It is time to vote.

It is time to vote.

Myles, you're up.

Finally.

Farewell, you jungle rat.

Ha-ha-ha!

I'll go count the votes.

If anyone has an Idol and you'd like to play it,

now would be the time to do so.

(SIGHS)

It's heavy.

I'm going to play it for myself. Alright.

One more day in the game.

This is an Idol,

and any votes cast for Myles will not count.

I'll read the votes.

First vote...

..Myles.

Does not count.

Myles. Does not count.

Myles. Does not count.

Myles. Does not count.

Kate.

That's one vote Kate.

Max.

One vote Kate. One vote Max.

Max.

Oh! (LAUGHS)

One vote Kate.

Two votes Max.

Eighth person voted out of Brains versus Brawn...

..Max.

Oh! (CHUCKLES)

That's three votes. That's enough.

You need to bring me your torch.

Oh, no!

See you, mate!

Ah!

Max, the tribe has spoken.

PD: See you, Maxie. Farewell.

JESSE: Righto. See you, guys.

ALL: Bye! Bye!

WOMAN: Bye, Max!

Well, you might have spent the last 19 days in cruise control,

but tonight, you definitely pumped the gas.

Grab your torches.

Head back to camp. Good night.

PD: Thanks, Jonathan.

Sunday night...

..with Merge in sight...

..Immunity has never been more important.

MYLES: Oi! Come on, let's go!

But a challenge deadlock...

Wow. Goes long.

Are you throwing?

Yeah. You?

Yeah.

..would mean double trouble.

AJ, mate!

I just got blindsided.

The chats that I had with Jesse felt really genuine.

You're a great person,

but I've got to stick strong with my alliance.

They definitely made a mistake voting me out today.

I was ready to go into battle with that Brawns alliance.

I've tried to squash the jungle rat over and over again,

and I've come to the conclusion

that you actually can't get rid of him.

But if he didn't find that Idol today,

I reckon I would still be here.

(CHUCKLES)
