ERIC: Meeting Kilby was a dream come true.

I'm gushing. I mean,

it's just special.

PROBST: Previously on Survivor...

- Oh. She's smart. - And Mike--

he wants to ride someone's coattails.

On the new Toka tribe,

Mike and Kristin-- they're on the bottom.

Both losing tribes will go to Tribal Council.

- [Survivors groan] - Two people will be going home.

ORI: I got the heli alliance, so we're gonna eliminate Alexis.

I'm gonna have to pull

the trigger, and it's gonna hurt.

ERIC: The plan is still

- Lewis. - Yes.

LEWIS: I'm on the chopping block,

so...

there'd have to be a miracle

sent to me.

Hello!

- LINNEA: Maggie? - What in the world?

I'm gonna give you the extra vote, and I'll give you

my other extra vote. It will give you four.

It would be a four-four split.

This could be epic.

PROBST: Sixth person voted out

of Survivor 51: Alexis.

Linnea. We're deadlocked.

- What? - Here's what happens now.

If you cannot come to a unanimous agreement,

the four of you will draw rocks.

This has been your dream.

Part of a dream is, like, standing up on business.

- Yes. - Like, I stand by my friends.

Yeah, same here, Kilby.

Kilby, is there any chance you could be persuaded

to send Lewis home?

No.

- SHARONDA: I'm sorry, Linnea. - ERIC: I'm so sorry, Linnea.

I'm so sorry.

Linnea, you've become the seventh person

voted out of Survivor 51.

Wow.

The tribe has spoken.

♪ ♪

Sorry that was stressful.

CRISTIAN: I don't think I've ever come back to, to camp

and it's been so quiet.

LEWIS: Survivor is a lot of luck.

And if anyone has luck, it's me.

Tonight they came for me, full shots fired.

I got eight votes.

I almost ran out on my lucky piggy bank, right?

And then everyone goes into utter calamity and chaos.

And I just stuck to the plan.

- Is that Lewis right there? - KILBY: Yeah.

LEWIS: Those former Savu members did not have a backbone tonight.

They cowered

down, they backed out.

You came for me, but I'm not, I'm not mad.

And I survived

by the skin of my teeth.

I-I can't even believe I'm, I'm here.

I should be, I should be packed up at home.

- ERIC: It was a big move. - LEWIS: Kilby has

a lot of cojones, huh?

ERIC: Chaos Kilby.

Oh, my God.

Tribal Council did not go the way I expected it to go.

You know, I was in my feelings.

I just want to get my feelings out in the open because

that's how I've been playing the game the whole time is, like,

just, like, have my heart out there, man.

- LEWIS: Yeah. - And...

and I guess that's something

I'm gonna have to process with Kilby.

Lewis, I was fine with.

His back was up against the wall.

I completely understand his perspective.

Kilby, I did not.

It angered me so much because, you know,

I thought me and Kilby were good.

We had this, like, kinship.

We had this brotherhood thing going, man.

You know,

if he voted with us, we were gonna protect him,

we were gonna take care of him.

- Tell me your rationale. - Sure.

I want to understand.

Here is my genuine thought.

I'm sitting there at Tribal Council,

and I'm thinking, what happens if I go home voting Lewis?

I've betrayed a friend, and I care a lot

- about my friends. - So do I.

No, and that's, that's what I see in you, dude.

ERIC: This felt like the biggest betrayal I had ever felt.

I opened my heart and soul to this guy.

I told him straight up, "I want to be your friend."

Not an alliance mate, not just someone to work with,

not just a number, a friend.

I genuinely feel very hurt.

- I know. - From my perspective,

you chose Lewis over me.

After this,

it changed the dynamic of how I view Kilby.

What I realized in that moment--

he is the most dangerous player in this game.

This hurt.

I'm not saying you're a disloyal person.

I felt that was a disloyal move.

KILBY: So Eric comes.

He is

emotional after this Tribal Council.

He's really feeling it.

ERIC: Maybe I overestimated how close we were.

Like, and-and I'm not, you know, like...

I just-- I want to build the game with you.

- I get it. - Like, and, honestly, with Lewis.

He's a good guy.

That's part of what I mean by...

And I get that. That's what sucks about it.

[crying]: It's like, I do understand that, man.

KILBY: Like, Eric's gonna be going to sleep

maybe a little bit upset with me,

but I think I can bring him over to my side because

we dropped an earthquake on this game.

Okay, can I be fully transparent?

I trust you more than I trust Lewis.

I'm playing Survivor

51 like it's my last time on Earth.

I'm going full throttle every single day

because I want to win this game

in a fun, exciting way,

'cause this is all I've ever dreamed of.

ORI: Tribal Council was super tough.

Waking up today,

I don't feel much better, honestly.

Oh, God.

JELLY: Last night was tough.

Sadly, we had to get rid of Alexis,

who was with me since day one.

But I was willing to sacrifice her

in the hopes of this day 11 three going far in this game.

If this could be the day 25 or day 26 three,

it would be amazing.

I'm-I'm here till the wheels fall off, guys.

DEVIN: Same.

JELLY: [sighs] Then there was three.

ORI: Myself, Jelly and Dev-- we're a really,

really good team right now, man.

If there's an immunity challenge with us three, it is absolutely

pivotal that we win.

If you don't win,

a tough, tough, tough decision has to be made.

JELLY: Looking good, like a professional.

ORI: I'm true to this, not new to this, you hear?

- Coconut, my lady? - [laughs]

[Jelly sighs]

JELLY: I don't think there's ever been a group of three

who needs to win an immunity challenge more than us.

The thought of us going to a Tribal Council

as just three is terrifying because I love Ori and Devin.

DEVIN: Mr. Muscles, Ori over there.

If I had a body like that, you--

good luck putting clothes on me.

He never frees the nipple.

Everybody else do.

We had so much fun.

And it, just being us three, really opened it up.

We don't have to do any sneaking around or scheming.

We really can just kind of have a good time together.

- Oh, oh. - ORI: Now coming to the stage...

[both shouting]

...Chocolate Fantasy!

- [Ori laughs] - DEVIN: Yeah!

[Devin vocalizing]

Okay, give us some poses.

DEVIN: Ori-- he's just abs, pecs, like, just Herculean.

And so I decide

it's time to teach him how to model walk.

So, listen, on a runway,

girls walk on one line,

men walk on two,

and you're just chest up, face out, you walk like that.

- And you get to the end... - JELLY: You got to get that...

No. You get to the end, you stop,

and then the last thing that turns back is your face.

Secretly, I've modeled

for some of the biggest brands out there.

Glaze your eyes over. Like, you know, just...

- Just-just... just straight face? - Mm-hmm.

Like someone's been talking at you for an hour,

- and you just... - [exhales sharply]

See, I'm giving Ori the real deal.

When Ori leaves this place, he is runway-ready.

And walk.

BOTH: And walk. And walk.

- Good. - And walk.

And pose.

Yes.

- Hey! - Hey!

- [shouting playfully] - [laughter]

We're laughing, we're playing.

So I'm really hoping

that the three of us sit back and enjoy,

because tomorrow can bring anything.

- KRISTIN: Mm. Makes sense. - Yeah, I would really

- like to just win until the merge, 'cause I... - Yeah.

...I actually think that you and I are both

- in precarious spots. - Yeah.

MIKE: In theory, I'm working with the Toka majority,

which is me, Brady, Carter, Maggie and Thien An,

but I'm really starting to feel that I could be on the outs.

I get the sense that there are

people just sort of pointing their arrows at me.

I feel like there's got to be idols on those beaches.

- What do you think? - I agree.

MIKE: Then you have Kristin,

the one floater from Savu,

who is outnumbered five to one, so

I think that we are both in trouble here.

Can you imagine?

MIKE: You know, she's the first person I've done a real,

authentic idol hunt with.

And I think she could be a much better ally

than some of the people I've had to work with so far

just by necessity.

CARTER: I don't know, dude.

- He's starting to work it. - 100%.

He's just making sure he's fine.

Yeah, but that's BS. He's making sure he's fine.

It's a three thing. 'Cause guess what.

We could say "Screw you" and take care of us.

That'd be easy.

The more I look at Mike's game,

the more I kind of realize, Mike is

a self-agenda player, you know?

He's about himself, and that's why he has no allies.

I still have yet to feel

like Mike's really giving us something.

Right now, yeah, I'm down on Mike's game

because Mike's playing for himself, not for us.

Like, I know he's looking for idols this morning.

It's annoying. [laughs]

MIKE: I went with Kristin to look for food,

and I looked along the way, but nothing.

You hear a lot of ... about me, huh?

- I do. - I don't know why.

You see me ... sitting here.

BRADY: Yeah, no, but that's, you know, like I say to you,

when you stick your neck out for someone,

you put your neck out, you know,

- so that's what I'm saying. - 100%, bro. 100%.

No doubt.

- You know? - Got you.

At this point in the game,

the Brady relationship

is uber-high-maintenance,

and it's getting worse.

Brady wants to know the contents of all of my conversations

that I have with anybody.

If he sees me leave camp with someone,

he wants the full download on what we talked about.

I am so done with this.

BRADY: You always think I'm trying to interrogate you.

I'm like, "No, dude, I'm just trying to make sure

I'm not gonna look like an idiot."

- Yeah. - I don't. I don't. And that's why

I'm honest with you back. Like, yeah, I was looking.

It's such a game liability

to have a theoretical ally that you're reliant on

who's like, you know, watching over you

like a hawk all the time.

- We're still good, yeah? - Yes, Mike.

You don't-- Stop asking me.

- All right. - Because you asking me almost bothers me

'cause it scares me. Like, when we made

- our little pact... - Yeah, we're good.

I don't need to ask Carter. He don't need to ask me.

- All right. - You don't need to ask Carter.

- You don't need to ask me. We're good. - Very good.

Honestly, I've had enough

of this being bossed around.

I am so ready to flip.

And so the big thing I'm trying to do right now is really

get in good with Kristin.

Kristin has something she can offer me.

Come merge time, if I make it there,

she's got connections with original Savu.

So I'm thinking, thinking, thinking,

"What do I have that I can offer Kristin in exchange?"

- I have a trade proposal for you. - Oh.

If we have at least one more, like, pre-merge Tribal,

you help me survive it, I will give you my word

- on a blank check vote of mine for the following vote. - Hmm.

Whether it's still here

- or if it's merged or wherever. - Mm-hmm.

Mike's an interesting character.

It seems like Mike is on the bottom.

So why he thinks in any world

I would be interested in aligning with him,

I don't know what he's thinking.

But that does not mean that

I'm interested in burning a bridge.

I hear your offer.

- I'm not opposed to it. - Cool.

- Let me noodle on it for a second. - Perfect.

KRISTIN: In the open era, there is so much uncertainty

about what might happen.

So I'm going to keep as many relationships going as possible.

- Does it feel okay? I know you're, like... - 100%.

...a bit, like, trying to make sure everything's okay.

- I just... - And I'm the same, you know, so...

- I just want to make it to the merge. Yeah. - I totally understand.

MIKE: I really, really need to make sure I have Kristin solid.

Kristin is the big linchpin to this whole thing.

I feel like there's this big juncture in my game right now

of, like, either I'm going home next

or I'm gonna win this damn thing, you know?

I just have to get through it.

♪ ♪

[Kilby laughs, snorts]

- This is funny. - Wow, you're a legend, though. And listen.

- Yo, I... - I'm in this game 'cause of you, dude.

- Hey. - You freakin',

you know, you scratch my back, I scratch your back.

LEWIS: After last night's Tribal Council, I'm buzzing.

If Kilby, as one, didn't outbluff three people--

Sharonda, Eric and Cristian--

I would have been sent home, I would have been packing.

But they wrote my name down once,

they'll do it again.

My life is flashing before my eyes right now.

Kilby and I are absolutely in trouble on this tribe.

We're in the minority, we have nothing,

it's three-two.

[sighs] It's gonna take another miracle.

I hope I see Mags pop over on that boat again today.

[Sharonda groans]

When you're right now sitting in the calm.

And you're thinking about the storm?

- And you're here? [laughs] - Yeah.

ERIC: And I got to say this out loud.

Last night was rough.

I got a lot of tears to shed, you know?

It's like, when you're-- when you're

a young Italian man, you're taught you can't cry.

I don't give a crap.

I... I love crying.

ERIC: One of the core things

I teach every client I meet

is to own your feelings.

My frustration and anger and hurt are real.

Kilby played us last night.

That's a stink that doesn't come off, dude.

Well, because if I don't cry, it leads to, like, headaches.

And it leads me to, like, feel built up. Like...

Yeah, I just get it out.

SHARONDA: Eric is a very emotional being.

And I know that if he feels backstabbed, hurt,

he's, like, on the floor, kicking and screaming,

and that's exactly who Eric is.

But if he feels loved, connected,

and brought in, that's where he's gonna go.

ERIC: I did talk to Kilby briefly.

He was talking about, like, wanting to work with me.

Yeah, but, you know, dude, he's great at lying.

- Yeah, he is. - He is.

- He's magnificent, so... - Mm-hmm. - I know.

And, um, old dude Lewis is very sneaky.

- CRISTIAN: Mm-hmm. - ERIC: He's sly.

SHARONDA: Yeah. Who's scarier?

CRISTIAN: I honestly think

Kilby is probably the scariest person.

- Me, too. - You know, just in general.

ERIC: Despite Linnea leaving,

we still have the majority in the tribe.

It's still three Savu and two Toka.

So I got my sights set on Kilby and Lewis.

I don't trust them each one iota,

and right now we know they're weaponless.

Right now they are vulnerable,

and I am not gonna allow any rats in my game.

I feel these are

devils we have to keep close at some level.

If those two think we're gonna take that lying down,

in the words of Judas Priest, you got another thing coming.

CRISTIAN: Right now the easy target

would be Kilby or Lewis

because we have three original Savu

and they're original Toka.

But I'm realizing the original Savu numbers dwindling

definitely changes things.

I need Kilby and Lewis's relationships on original Toka

in order to move my own game forward.

And I'm thinking also,

us three can enter this merge as, like, a Tika three,

as a Yanu three. We could go in

as, you know...

Trios do really well

- in these games. - Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm.

The original Savu really needs to stop saying "we."

I need to start speaking about it in "I"s, in "me,"

and play it as if it's an individual game.

[sighs]

Um, I am being so genuine when I say

that I want to work with you and Kilby.

- Hey, dude. - Like, genuinely.

Yeah, yeah, I love it. You know what I mean? Like,

I'm also not the type of person who's gonna burn someone

for voting me. You know what I mean?

- Mm-hmm. - Because, hey, this is just...

- Just a part of the game. - Yeah, it's part of the game.

- Yeah. - And I'm not-- You know, I survived.

CRISTIAN: Last night's Tribal really showed,

you can't just rely on the original tribe lines.

You have to bring

chaotic fun into the mix.

I mean, we could do really cool things.

We could do some damage. You know what I mean?

- Uh-huh. - It would actually be fun.

I think it would be, too.

I'm so excited

to let my chaotic side out,

because it's gonna make me have a lot more fun.

And so

that's what I plan to do going forward.

SHARONDA: We got tree mail!

- [gasps] - Oh!

- Ah! - Ooh!

Oh, my God, it's like waiting to open up a Christmas present.

SHARONDA: Oh, my gosh.

"A summit has been called."

Oh.

"Send one player as your tribe's representative."

- I wouldn't mind going. - KILBY: I...

I want to put my hat in the ring, 'cause I...

Well, why don't we do Shot in the Darks?

We have to choose

one tribe member to be the representative for a summit.

I don't even know what that means.

But I'm not trying

to just sit back.

I'll wiggle my hand around.

CRISTIAN: I did something

a little sneaky. [laughs]

I had my thumb on Lewis's and Kilby's Shot in the Dark

to make sure that Lewis does not pick them.

Sharonda.

- OTHERS: Sharonda. - Wow.

CRISTIAN: Sharonda going on this summit

is really, really good for me because I get to sit back,

build more connections with Kilby and Lewis,

which is really important

right now if we go back to Tribal.

You got it, Sharonda!

DEVIN: Right.

All right, all right. Not looking,

not looking, not looking.

Reaching in.

Ori.

- Ori's going. - Okay.

JELLY: I want to go to the summit,

to be honest. I'm not even thinking,

"Oh, I should go

because I'm the best representative for us three."

I'm thinking,

"I want to be there."

I want to know what it is.

DEVIN: I know, I really was hoping to pull "Devin."

A summit.

MIKE: "A summit has been called.

Send one player as your tribe's representative."

BRADY: Is that, like, a challenge?

- Like, a summit is a challenge? - Or a negotiation.

KRISTIN: No, it's gonna be, like, a journey.

MAGGIE: Oh, man, Kristin's good at negotiating.

I'm, like, down for that. We did it day one.

- MAGGIE: Yeah, she did. - KRISTIN: It went well.

I have some interest, too, since I didn't get to do yesterday's.

- It went well. - It went well.

- I mean... - KRISTIN: You feel okay about this? Like,

I'm willing to do it for the tribe.

No, I think it's better

because you know both tribes.

I'll throw my hat in, too.

THIEN AN: Somebody's gonna have to get sent off to summit.

Whoever goes might get an advantage.

And we do not want Mike to have any opportunity whatsoever.

And so I was, like, let's not even give him a chance.

- Okay, so then we'll draw... - Rocks?

- No. Well... - I feel like this is more of, like, a...

A team vote?

I feel like that might be good, 'cause we want someone

who's, like, gonna be good with the negotiations.

MIKE: The summit was huge for me, 'cause there's a chance

of getting an advantage, and, boy, could I use one right now.

But Maggie and Thien An immediately say,

"Kristin should do it."

It's so transparent to me.

Like, they're just trying to keep advantages out of my hands.

- Bye, Kristin. - MIKE: Bye.

I'm just waiting for the day

I can run wild and play my actual game.

KRISTIN: It could not be better.

ORI: I mean, it's been like three, four days,

but in Survivor three, four days,

is like three, four months, so it's like

those friends you ain't seen in years,

that had moved to a different state, different country.

So when you link back up, it's like, "What's going on?"

How are you two? What's happening with you?

I want to know what happened last night.

Maggie blew us up.

- What happened? - She got with Kilby,

gave him an extra vote.

Four on Lewis, four on Linnea.

- Jeff was like, "You guys..." - Yo.

"...if you don't choose now, we're pulling rocks."

- You went to rocks? - We almost did.

Eric was like, "Absolutely not.

I don't want to go to rocks right now."

- Yeah. - So Linnea went home.

- KRISTIN: Linnea went home? - Yo.

This is crazy. I'm like, yo,

their Tribal Council was so spicy, so fire.

So I'm excited she's still there, you know.

Sharonda's my girl.

That's my ace. That's the fourth of the heli gang.

SHARONDA: Oh.

- ORI: Well, I see food. - KRISTIN: Oh, man.

Why are there two things?

SHARONDA: Oh, my gosh, there's meat there.

- KRISTIN: Brisket? - SHARONDA: Ribs?

- Oh. - Oh, my God.

Do the honors, Kristin.

"You have a decision to make.

"Two of you will take food back to your tribes,

"returning to camp as heroes.

"The third will not return to camp.

"You will walk around the point

and spend the night alone on Exile Island."

SHARONDA: I'm a Survivor, but I ain't trying

to go to Exile right now.

Definitely when there's a plate of food

sitting in front of me, no, absolutely not.

"But that sacrifice comes with a reward:

the tethered idol."

"This idol is good

until the final five, but it comes with a twist."

Of course.

"This idol is tethered

"to the two other players with you right now.

"That means

"it can only be played by you and you can

only play it for one of them."

- Ooh. - ORI: Ooh.

"Two leave with a meal, one stays with power.

Make your decision now."

Wow. This is crazy.

SHARONDA: This idol can only

be played by the person that goes to Exile

and only for the two individuals

that are walking away with plates of food.

That smells like my dad's ribs.

- ORI: Oh. - Mmm, I'm gonna cry.

SHARONDA: I don't want to go to Exile,

but I couldn't say that out loud,

because these are my number ones. They trust me.

Now, Kristin is very predictable.

She likes to be a provider.

So I have to wait for her to make

a suggestion to make it seem like

it was her idea to take the idol for herself and stay on Exile.

- This is crazy. - Crazy.

- This is a huge decision. - KRISTIN: This is wild.

Tell us your thoughts.

I mean, I will straight up say that I know that I can survive.

Like, I've been doing the survival thing,

- so I know I can do it. - Yeah.

I would be willing to go to Exile.

SHARONDA: It was perfect.

I don't know

much about poker, but I think I had,

like, a flush or something. Is that good?

I don't know. It was something good.

Whatever it was, I won.

ORI: We need each other, 'cause it's getting spooky right now.

- I know. I know. - We got each other.

Let's do it. Savu on three.

ALL: One, two, three. Savu!

ORI: Kristin-- she knows that she could do well on Exile,

so she decided to take one for the team,

and it was amazing.

Kristin has a free idol to protect me,

and I have nice barbecue ribs.

It was Christmas in the summer on Fiji.

KRISTIN: So I pull the idol off and start my trek to Exile.

I like having this idol because it gives me

control in this wild, chaotic game.

This setup seems pretty primo for me.

I've got two people that I would actually want

to save in the game

with an idol that I could use to save them.

I wish I could play it for myself.

That would be a better situation.

But Sharonda and Ori should want to keep me in the game

so that I can play it for one of them.

Because I'll never play it for anybody else.

I can't do anything else with it.

"Welcome to Exile Island."

♪ There's a note. ♪

What is it? What is it? What is it?

"Given it's the open era, there's one more twist.

"The tethered idol has a breaking point.

"If the two other players are both voted out of the game,

"it becomes a fully powered idol,

"free of any restrictions, good until the final five.

Enjoy your night on Exile Island."

This has changed some things, potentially.

If the other two people that I'm tethered to get voted out,

my idol becomes a full-fledged idol.

So I'm going to think about that later,

but my first order of business--

it's time to get to work.

I mean, Exile's not that bad, really.

I was really pleased

that all of the at-home training that I've been doing

came together.

[spits] Best one yet.

And nobody to share it with.

This foot feels better on Exile.

Can I stay here for the rest of the game?

I'm having a lot of fun on Exile.

I think part of that is because

I know what I'm doing.

I have done

as much preparing as I possibly could

because Survivor is a decades-long obsession.

I have been applying for 25 years.

[grunts] I did it!

- Yeah! - Shut up!

You're a man.

Oh, I'm bringing home dinner to my lady.

JELLY: It was just Devin

and Jelly in Fiji, not Devin and Jelly trying

to survive in Survivor.

Today, with us two frolicking around the jungle and the beach,

it's gonna go down as probably one of my

top memories of life,

like, not even just in this game, but of life.

All right, so, talk to me about your boy Ori.

Uh, he's not my type.

I'm a little too wild for him.

I can see that.

It's okay. I'm not disappointed,

'cause the banter will continue.

- Oh, no, it's fine. - It's only day 11, so...

It's fine. I'll be giving him a hard time.

I'll see what happens on day 26.

In a game that is super stressful, and, like, paranoia

runs rampant, it's so rare that you can sit down with somebody

like Jelly and simply just laugh and play.

He's gonna get so much love from this.

He don't need me.

But I need it, y'all.

- Um... - It's my game within a game.

My dating sim.

But I've been scared we're gonna be branded

as a tight two. That's not good.

So I know, at some point,

I'm gonna have to separate my game from Jelly.

But I really do appreciate one human day

outside of a game that is so cutthroat.

♪ ♪

- Hey! - Yeah. Oh, come on.

- That's Ori. - Oh.

Yes!

Jelly and I are walking back from our date, and

I see this beautiful chocolate man

getting up from a boat,

holding a plate

of baby back ribs,

barbecue ribs and corn!

Yo, this is exactly what I was wanting.

I must be seeing things.

Ain't no way Survivor just gave me this blessing.

Okay, so, talk to us.

- Who else was there? - Mmm.

Kristin and Sharonda was there.

- Mmm. - JELLY: Hmm.

Kristin was like, "Since it's just us Savu,

I'll tell you everything."

They blew it up.

- JELLY: Mmm. - Linnea went home.

Wow.

Coming home, I bring a lot, a lot of spicy information.

I bring a lot of tea.

The food was good, but the tea was even better.

There was two plates of food, and somebody had to go to Exile.

And Kristin ends up volunteering.

So, Kristin's on Exile. She will get something.

ORI: Mm-hmm. For sure. And how do you...

JELLY: And also, how's Sharonda feeling?

Sharonda's playing it cool. Like I said, we-we didn't get

to talk much, but she wants to work with Savu.

ORI: In between picking

ribs out of our teeth and licking barbecue sauce

off our fingers, I tell them

the helicopter alliance is still strong.

But some information

doesn't need to be divulged with any and everybody.

So, I definitely plan on keeping Kristin's idol secret.

Like, we're in a really good spot.

I don't know how we got, I mean, this upper hand,

but we got to take it and run, guys.

We're a strong three, and the helicopter alliance

is still in play.

We're in such a good place, but

at the end of the day, I want to win.

I want to be the one of us to win.

SHARONDA: We start reading this note, and this note specifically

says, "Two of you will walk away as heroes,

and one will spend the night on Exile Island."

- CRISTIAN: Oh, my gosh! - ERIC: Oh, no.

SHARONDA: So we took out our-our Shot in the Dark,

and we pulled it, and Kristin pulled her name.

- CRISTIAN: Wow. - LEWIS: Wow.

- So Ori went back with ribs? - Ori went back with ribs.

Knowing that I have a idol-- at least

Kristin does-- that can be played on me,

it's way sweeter than these ribs.

But I don't

want them to know that we have an idol.

I can only imagine what Lewis

and Kilby would do to turn

Cristian and Eric against me.

It would be heinous.

SHARONDA: Well, only who's gonna be walking away.

- Right. - Two get the food, and one has to stay the night.

And I think it's only one night.

KILBY: Usually stuff's, like, earned, you know, like,

- got to battle. - Yeah.

There really wasn't, like, another, like...

- I don't know what you want me to tell you. - No, I believe you.

Oh. That's all I know.

LEWIS: Sharonda tells us that two of them got ribs

and one of them had to go off to Exile.

Jeff never gives you a free meal,

so, I don't trust her.

Sharonda keeps her cards close to her chest,

keeps her thoughts in.

She has her goal, and whatever

it takes to get to that goal, she will execute it,

and that might mean executing me.

♪ ♪

BRADY: All right.

CARTER: I'm thinking we need, like, a big T-shirt,

fill it with just a bunch of stuff, tie it,

so there's our bag.

And then what do we do with it?

Attach it to a tree, and then we can swing.

Growing up, we always had a sack swing.

And so, the boys had a little bit of free time this afternoon.

And so I thought, what better way

to connect with them than to build a sack swing?

Coming at you.

BRADY: Keep pulling it,

keep pulling it, keep pulling it.

Yeah, that looks like it's gonna work good.

CARTER: Look like we're playing for the Savannah Bananas.

- [laughs] - MIKE: That's right, dude.

CARTER: Sometimes in life, farmers get maybe a bad rep.

They might, you know, be overlooked

that we're just a dumb farmer.

And I'm not saying I'm not a dumb farmer,

but at-at the end of the day, farmers are still crafty.

- [Mike laughs] - BRADY: Oh, my God.

[laughs]

We can still make something with nothing.

Oh. Whoa.

Yeah.

Oh. Push me.

[laughing]

Oh, yeah! [laughing]

CARTER: I felt at home. It was like, finally,

just something on Survivor that feels like

we can just take a deep breath, forget about the game

for a few seconds, and just

have some fun doing it.

BRADY: Oh, yo, have you used the swing yet?

MAGGIE: I don't really feel like

- sitting on a bag of balls. - All right.

MAGGIE: Listen, you do whatever you want.

I'm going to the beach to look for fish.

Mom's upset we were messing around.

MAGGIE: I can't wait for the individual gameplay

because I feel like my tribe is, like, gosh,

they're-they're starting to get on my nerves.

I'm, like, you're prioritizing building a swing,

but we don't have food, we don't have fire.

Is someone planning on sleeping in the hammock?

'Cause if not, I'm gonna take it.

BRADY: That is gonna be epic

if you catch a fish with that thing.

- We're gonna catch fish with it. - THIEN AN: I think we will.

MIKE: It's ludicrous to me

to bring the hammock out to go fishing.

I mean, the chances of catching these fish

are, like, a million to one.

Like, they... It's not gonna happen.

Come on, give us a fish!

Whoo!

MIKE [laughing]: It's kind of, like,

in what world?

Like, it's banana land to me.

Aah!

MIKE: But I kind of go along with it

because I need to go along to get along right now.

CARTER: Any luck?

MAGGIE: Mike's holding it there,

and it's just pulling it out of my hands.

'Cause it's a hammock, it's not one of them nets, you know?

Maggie is trying to reinvent the wheel.

There's been 50 seasons of Survivor, and

I can't recall anybody ever catching a fish with a hammock.

I'm thinking calorie expenditure right now. I think out here

in the beating sun, I think

we're burning a lot more than we're replacing.

BRADY: Unfortunately, I don't trust her to listen to me.

She's tunnel vision.

One lens, she doesn't see anything else

other than what she's thinking.

And now she wants all of us to go

to one of them banana plants.

So, sure, Maggie, we'll get it.

THIEN AN: I don't know how much higher I can get up.

- Just catch me if I die. - Is it that high?

BRADY: First words out of her mouth are,

"Is it really that high?"

- I mean, dude... - Oh...!

BRADY: No, Maggie, uh, Thien An just wanted

to climb this bamboo to see if she could break her neck.

If she asks me one more question,

I'm gonna beat my face off a palm tree

- until Jeff says I can't play anymore. - [Mike laughs]

BRADY: I'm fired up, I'm...

I'm... I'm pissed off, I'm annoyed, I'm bothered.

You think, like, hey, man, maybe I just take a good nap,

a good night's sleep, I can chill out.

Well, guess what? The best place

you get a good night's sleep around our camp

is the hammock, and it's absolutely out of commission.

Stinky, smelly, sandy, wet, it's-it's crap.

It's... [speaking high-pitched gibberish]

...every time.

[laughs]

BRADY: The more Maggie digs herself a hole,

it's making a case to make Mike stay.

And I'm not questioning her intelligence.

It's just that, like,

the self-awareness scale is zero.

Come on in!

What's going on, Toka?

You tell me, big brody.

Survivor 51.

- Pretty cool. - PROBST: That's it. - My favorite.

First time in my life I've only had to do one thing.

PROBST: Getting your first official look

at the new Savu tribe.

Alexis voted out at the last Tribal Council.

Both tribes getting your first look

at the new Dina tribe.

- Linnea voted out... - Linnea voted out.

...at the last Tribal Council.

Big reaction from Toka.

And returning to the game

from Exile Island: Kristin.

- Yeah. - KRISTIN: I made it.

I'm here. It's no joke, right?

Yeah. Savage.

Hi, friends.

- CARTER: Hey. Welcome back. - It's good to see you.

- Missed you. - Yeah, same.

PROBST: Kilby, talk to me about where we're at.

I know we're in the tribe stage of the game,

but where are we

in this run of Survivor 51?

I think that this game is blowing up.

I think a lot of people thought I was going home last night, and

I think that this open era is about

don't count the underdogs out,

because you never know what's gonna happen, and if you are

locked in

to an idea, that's where you're blinded.

PROBST: All right,

shall we get to today's immunity challenge?

- [all voicing assent] - First things first.

Can we all touch it again?

Got to take it back, Thien An.

- Touch it. - See you soon, love.

Thank you.

Once again, immunity is back up for grabs.

For today's challenge, you're gonna race to untangle yourself

from braided ropes.

You'll then use those ropes to pull a sled of sandbags to you.

Then one at a time, you'll use the sandbags

to knock off every piece of your puzzle

from that platform.

And then you will work together to use all those pieces

to build a large Survivor puzzle.

First tribe to finish wins immunity.

[Devin gasps]

- Second tribe to finish... - [all exclaiming]

...wins immunity.

The last tribe to finish, otherwise known

as the losers--

Tribal Council, where somebody

- will be the eighth person - Harsh.

voted out of Survivor 51.

Let's get to the sit-outs. Toka, you have three.

Cannot sit out the same people in back-to-back challenges.

Kristin, Maggie must run in this.

It's gonna be Carter, Thien An and Mike.

Dina, you have two sit-outs.

It cannot be Kilby and Cristian.

Who's gonna sit out? Sharonda and Eric will sit out.

All right, sit-outs, take a spot on the bench.

Everybody else, give you a minute to strategize.

We'll get it on. Here we go.

It's day 12!

All right, here we go.

For immunity.

Survivors ready.

Go! First, you got to work together...

- MAGGIE: You come over me. - ...to figure out how

to untangle this rope that is braided.

ERIC: Come on, boys! You're doing great!

PROBST: Requires a lot of communication.

- Over. - Yup. - Yup.

KRISTIN: Okay, I'm gonna go through this loop with you.

- I'm going under Mag, over you. - PROBST: Who has to go over,

- who has to go under. - You need to be collecting rope.

Yeah, that's right! Good job, boys! Keep it going!

PROBST: Once you get to that first hurdle,

- you got to go over it. - Oh, my gosh, that's hard.

- [grunts] - [Cristian laughs]

Okay, we got to go,

keep the rope.

PROBST: Everybody going over that first hurdle.

- BRADY: Help her over. Help her over. - ERIC: Yes, Dina!

PROBST: Once you're over, that rope is braided again,

so you're gonna have to do the same thing.

- BRADY: Am I good? - KRISTIN: I can't tell

if I'm good, guys. Help me out here.

- BRADY: Okay. - KRISTIN: Am I good or am I tangled?

No, you're tangled.

Okay, go, go. Go, go, go!

PROBST: A lot of rope management.

You don't want to get all tangled up.

Here we go. Go ahead.

You got to get all three people

to the mat, no matter how you slice it

- or how you do it. - KRISTIN: Yup.

- Inside, inside. - Okay.

Guys, I got to keep the rope.

Get to the... get to the mat, get to the mat.

PROBST: You're good, Savu.

Unclip. It is Savu in the early lead.

That is a new experience for Savu.

Now you're gonna use one of those ropes

to try to hook your sandbags.

[overlapping chatter]

ERIC: All right, boys!

- Let's do it! - PROBST: You're good, Dina.

You can unclip. Toka's here, and Toka's back in it.

- BRADY: Come on, flip. - ERIC: Go, Cristian!

PROBST: Cristian has it.

[grunting]

Pull, pull, pull! Pull, pull, pull, pull!

Cristian's hooked it. Cristian's gonna make that work.

You're good, Dina.

Dina, one at a time. Kilby launching it.

- Nice toss by Cristian. - Yes!

PROBST: Starting to get their rhythm.

ERIC: Yes! That's right! Keep it going!

Kilby with a nice hit.

Come on, Dina Divas!

Yes, yes. Yes.

PROBST: Devin has hooked it for Savu.

Pull, pull, let's go. Grab.

- Pull! Pull. - One, two, three. Pull.

The underdogs at this point looking to pull off an upset.

- Not too hard! Take your time. - No, we got it. We got it.

- Take your time! - PROBST: You are in this right now.

- You're good. - Grab a bag. Good job, babe.

- Knock 'em out. - PROBST: Savu has their sandbags.

Here comes Ori.

It is Dina now with a big early lead.

Another nice toss by Lewis.

Kilby gonna throw.

- Kilby with the arm today. - ERIC: That's right, Kilby!

PROBST: Brady has it.

Can he make this one work?

Got to keep it taut enough to move that sled.

- That's gonna do it. - MIKE: Good job!

Yeah, keep pulling, keep pulling.

- PROBST: Toka's good! - Way to work!

You don't got those muscles for no reason.

Ori now starting to make up a lot of time for Savu.

- Ori firing away. - Yes! This is your moment!

- PROBST: Knocking piece after piece. - Let's go!

That's right, that's right.

Duck, and it's out of the hand.

Nice rotation happening for Toka.

Ori-- shot after shot, knocking pieces off.

There's another.

- Brady coming in. - Come on.

We got a challenge now.

Ori continues to eat this challenge up.

- Yes! One more! - Yes! One more!

Dina down to their last piece.

Yes, last piece.

Savu down to their last piece. And there it is.

Come on, come on.

Ori made up a lot of time.

That was impressive.

It is now Savu in the lead.

Dina trying to get that last piece.

- ERIC: Yes! - PROBST: And Lewis has it.

PROBST: Dina's in it now.

Toka down to two pieces.

Make it one!

- MIKE: Good job, Brady. - Here it is.

Kristin, to get them back into this.

And that does it! You're good!

MIKE: Do your thing, y'all. You got this.

PROBST: Everybody working on their puzzle now.

It's the bottom piece for sure. We'll move it.

PROBST: It is basically your logo

on your Buff.

You know it. Survivor 51,

with that great whale.

This is right here, too.

Yeah, perfect. Right there, Lewis. Yes, perfect.

PROBST: First two tribes to finish,

safe from the vote.

- See, that's gonna go with that. Hold on. - What about this?

- We got to move this one. Move this one. - Move that one,

- Ori. - Ori, that one does not go there.

PROBST: Dina off to a fast start on this puzzle.

BRADY: Okay, just don't talk... don't talk nonsense.

- Just talk to me. - This is at the bottom.

This is at the bottom.

- It's right... - PROBST: This is where somebody

who knows how to do a puzzle is invaluable.

And if you don't know how to do a puzzle,

you are worthless.

BRADY: Have all the yellow facing us.

- KRISTIN: That goes on top of this. - BRADY: All the yellow...

PROBST: Maggie, Brady and Kristin--

they got to the puzzle last.

But they are making quick work of getting back into this.

Dina still in the lead.

KRISTIN: Flip-flop. We did that.

DEVIN: We need the one. Look for the one.

PROBST: Savu got to the puzzle first,

and they are now

- in dead last. - ORI: We're fine, baby.

PROBST: You've got to be able

- to do it all on Survivor. - We're fine, we're fine.

Stop looking over there! Lock in.

PROBST: And that includes puzzles.

It is now a two-tribe race right now

between Dina in the middle,

Toka on the end,

and Savu absolutely nowhere.

JELLY: Purples are on top right now.

PROBST: A disaster in the making for Savu,

who is already down to three tribe members.

Where's one? Survivor 51.

Yeah, right here, right here.

PROBST: Dina edging closer

to the end and the win.

Toka getting closer.

It don't matter if you're first or second.

It's not... It needs to go this way. Pull.

- Jeff! - Jeff, Jeff, Jeff, Jeff!

- PROBST: Wow! - ERIC: Let's go!

Toka has it. Dina has the second victory.

- No. We're here, we're here. - Oh, they did it.

Yeah!

PROBST: And I'm gonna be seeing Savu again

tonight at Tribal Council,

where Devin, Jelly or Ori

will be voted out of this game.

Got to say, I-I've seen a lot of puzzles.

Fortunately, it didn't matter who was first or second.

It was so close.

I'm gonna give the call to Toka,

so you get the bigger whale.

Aah! [laughs]

Fortunately, both whales have the same power.

Whoo! Yeah, get it, Kilby.

I love you, whaley.

- Whoo! - Whoo!

PROBST: All right, Toka, grab your stuff, head out.

No Tribal Council tonight. Nobody going home.

[Kilby sputtering]

Dina, no Tribal Council tonight.

Nobody from your tribe going home.

- Grab your stuff, head out. - Thanks, Jeff.

PROBST: Enjoy the night off. Well earned.

- Thanks, Jeff. See you later, dude. - PROBST: See ya.

Everybody's gone.

So now let's talk.

Jelly, where's your head at right now?

I... I have a lot of emotions.

I don't... I can't talk.

I wouldn't even let myself come into this challenge

and imagine this outcome

because it was so important to me

and to us. And, like...

...for it not to go the way we want it is, like, devastating.

And these are, like, incredible men.

I don't want to vote anyone out. I...

So I'm just, like, feeling all the emotions

of the reality that is setting in right now.

PROBST: All right, Savu, Tribal Council tonight,

where either Ori, Devin or Jelly

will be the eighth person voted out of Survivor 51.

Grab your stuff, head out. See you tonight at Tribal.

JELLY: That loss hurt worse than

anything I've experienced

in this game so far.

I mean, it's heartbreaking. We wanted

to make sure we got all of us as far as we could, and

to have to do this before the merge is, like,

the last thing any of us wanted.

So the vote is going to be very difficult for me.

♪ ♪

I don't want to do this.

Should we talk about our options?

[sniffles] Mm-hmm.

DEVIN: Tonight's gonna be really hard.

It'll probably be the hardest vote

I have to face this entire game

because there's nobody in this game

I care about more than the two of them.

We share the same vision of seeing people like us,

people of color,

make it to the end together,

having not cannibalized one another.

So,

the feeling of having to turn on one another

after that being the one thing

we did not want to do is...

It's soul-crushing.

Oh. This is the worst-case scenario.

Yeah, but we... we can find a way.

Well, listen, I'm willing to play my Shot in the Dark.

If we're willing to try to do something, let me know,

because I'm willing to throw my Shot in the Dark in there, also.

And y'all play y'all Shot in the Dark,

and if it hits, it hits, someone is safe.

And then, if the three of us are not safe,

I guess we would go into another vote, you know?

Um, or something

that we've never seen on Survivor would happen.

You know, a challenge, a game, like, something

where we could fight to stay.

JELLY: Devin suggests that we all play

our Shot in the Dark,

and just kind of let fate decide.

If I didn't have a hidden immunity idol,

I'd be game for that.

But I do,

and I'm not willing to go home in this game

with an idol in my pocket.

I have to be honest with y'all.

I do have a hidden immunity idol.

So I'm not willing to play my Shot in the Dark

- when I know that I can be safe no matter what. - Mm-hmm.

JELLY: For me,

sharing that I have an idol is me letting them know

that I'm not going anywhere.

Whether I play my idol or not,

you know, we'll see how the night goes.

But it's me taking ownership of my game,

letting them know that as important

as our alliance is to me,

my individual game is more important to me.

And I'm not willing to sacrifice that for anything.

So who are you voting for,

if you're willing to share that?

JELLY: I said I was gonna come in here and

be as loyal as I can be.

ORI: Mm-hmm.

And... I've rode with Devin since day one.

I don't think I can write Devin's name down.

Jelly drops a bombshell on both of us that we had no idea.

She has a idol,

so she knows she's gonna be safe tonight.

So she knows it's not gonna be her.

And then she, said, "I can't write Devin's name down."

It's my worst nightmare. I'm in the worst position.

Um, I got to try to find an idol, or pull

either Jelly or Devin to my side and split them.

It's gonna be a tall task.

They've been together since day one, so,

that's a tall, tall task.

How are you looking at it right now?

I'm looking at it like

there's no way I'm willing to go home

with, um, an idol in my pocket.

So you-so you-- so, you refuse to write Devin's name down.

My question is

d-do you want to win or do you just want to say,

"I was loy-I was loyal to Dev, and hopefully, it rewards me"?

JELLY: Ori wants to stay

in this game.

He's a hustler. He's a fighter.

So he's trying to pitch to me

why I might consider voting Devin instead of him.

In Toka, you and Dev are still seen together as a pair.

And in Savu, I'm like, "Damn,

they just wiped out all of Savu."

- Like, we got to look at that. - Oh, I'm very aware.

I know that, long-term,

bringing Devin anywhere is not good for my game.

I'm aware of that.

I respect Ori, but

it's me and Devin to the end, and there's nothing

that's gonna change my mind on that.

ORI: I've been trying to talk to Jelly,

trying to plead my case, but she was steadfast about it.

She said

they're emotionally and honor bound

to each other, which makes me sick.

So, I have to approach Devin about voting out Jelly.

So is it where we were together? We voting?

We-we Shot in the Dark? Like, what are you doing?

[Devin sighs]

What-what would you do if you were in my shoes?

I told you from the jump, like, you was my dude

between you two, who I was choosing from jump.

So, I think you have an idea what might be the best move,

- but it's up to you right now. - Mm-hmm.

- 'Cause I know Jelly's voting for me. - Mm-hmm.

ORI: Jelly

has no worries in the world right now.

So she's definitely not gonna

pull out her immunity idol.

And right now, it's time to make a big move.

It's about really making Devin think about his game.

Look at your options.

Keeping Jelly here is not best for his game. Keeping me here

is best for his game. I'm leading them to water,

hoping they drink.

It's a tough fight,

but I'm-a keep fighting. I'm-a keep fighting.

[sighs] I know with... with Jelly,

she and I will be viewed as... as a two.

They're going to do that. I know that

I can help protect her by

using myself as a distraction.

Sounds like you're sacrificing a lot for Jelly.

- When do you... when do you put yourself first? - Mm-hmm.

It's like you just said, like, "I can protect her.

I can sacrifice for her."

Well, when do you... when do you value your game?

When do you put your game first?

DEVIN: Ori telling me,

"When are you gonna start playing this game for you?"

flipped a switch from my emotional brain

to my logical brain.

This is Survivor.

You're here to play.

There can only be one winner

of, potentially, $2 million.

And now I'm like, "Oh, Jelly looks secure."

She doesn't seem very worried

because she believes that we will never,

at this point in the game, write each other's name down.

So she won't play her immunity idol.

And I'm sitting here with an extra vote in my pocket.

So I can control the game today.

I could go with

the simple choice and write Ori's name down,

or I could make a big move

and vote for Jelly.

This game is not over yet for anyone.

It's not over yet for anyone.

I absolutely

did not know about Jelly's hidden immunity idol,

but Jelly's my day one.

She is my number one.

Like, turning on that is devastating for me.

And ultimately, I'm doing my best

to play this game the way

I want to play-- with heart and with honesty,

and not abandoning

my soul in the process.

♪ ♪

Wow.

Jelly, your face says everything.

So let's start with you.

You go back to camp after a devastating loss.

And what happens?

There's only two other people to talk to.

JELLY: You know, Jeff, we all

respect one another, admire one another.

These are men I would be honored to play the game with.

And I let them know that I have an idol.

We know that seven women have been eliminated

from this game.

They needed to know I wasn't willing to be the eighth.

PROBST: Devin, how about for you?

What was your take this afternoon?

Well, Jelly, now that we know that she's safe

with her immunity idol, do I play my Shot in the Dark

next to Ori and see whoever hits, hits?

But it was my conversation with Ori that really

opened my eyes to the way I've been playing this game.

He asked me a simple question.

"When are you gonna start playing this game for you?"

It reminded me that I have to start

living and playing this game for me.

And so, if I'm so lucky to make it to tomorrow,

there's gonna be a Dev 2.0

that you'll be introduced to.

PROBST: So, Ori, when you tell Devin, "Start playing the game

for yourself," what does that mean?

That's telling Devin, strategically,

his best decision is to go with me.

Because him and Jelly intertwined together,

they're already seen as a couple.

And the relationships I have are new relationships.

It opens the doors for a whole new group of people,

a whole new, different game,

which I feel would benefit him more.

PROBST: So, Jelly, Ori's basically saying

to come in as a known pair

- is not good. - JELLY: Yeah.

Me and Devin are very aware.

We've been paired together from the beginning,

and that has caused, kind of, tension

with us in our old tribe.

But at the same time, having

an ally like Devin,

for me, is irreplaceable.

You yourself, Jeff Probst, could tell me

that Devin wanted to throw me out

and he had a blindside, and I would not believe you, Jeff.

- Hmm. - Because that is how solid

I feel in the trust that me and Devin have built.

And in this game of paranoia,

that is a weapon like no other,

and I'm willing to ride with it.

PROBST: Devin, that's got to feel pretty powerful

to hear somebody say, "I don't care

what anybody says to me. I will never doubt you."

It's, like, the best feeling in the world out here.

You know? And it's exactly how I feel as well.

Like, she's my ride or die,

and it's as simple as that.

PROBST: Ori, if they're telling the truth, it sounds like

that Jelly and Devin are so tight

that nothing will break them up, which leaves you alone.

ORI: You can look at it that way.

But they say they're this locked in.

For now. What about two days from now?

What about three days from now? What about four days from now?

Will they still be this locked in is the question.

- And what... - Well, we hope to find out.

Sure do.

At the same time, Jeff, I don't count Ori out

- for a second. - Me either.

He could play his Shot in the Dark

and be safe, for all we know.

I was gonna play it anyway.

I didn't care what they told me, 'cause at the end of the day,

I have a one in six shot of being here tomorrow,

point blank, period.

It makes me excited. It's an opportunity

to keep fighting, man. I'm a fighter,

so, I still have one more punch left, man.

And I can't wait to see what happens.

So, Jelly, I'm getting a pretty good picture that

the two of you are together, Ori's on the outside.

What's your story

with Ori, if this is his last night?

My story with Ori is one of

love and respect.

This man is everything he says he is and more.

There's no bluff.

He is consistent. He is stable.

He's level-headed.

And the best part is, somehow, the two of us were able

to crack this nut, loosen him up,

get some dancing, some runway shows.

Yesterday, with Ori and Devin,

was probably one of the best days of my life.

PROBST: Devin, how about for you,

if this is it for Ori?

DEVIN: If this is it for Ori, I will never forget.

Us coming together is like... This helicopter alliance--

when we made the alliance, a helicopter was flying

- Wow. Huh. - over our heads, and now

we go, "Blah, blah, blah."

- It's a "choppa"! - It's a "choppa"!

DEVIN: You know? Like,

my story with him is one of inspiration.

And I'm-I'm just really proud to get to...

to sit next to him right now.

PROBST: Ori, if this is it-- and you

play the Shot in the Dark and it doesn't hit--

tell me about your time on Survivor.

The experience out here was amazing.

It's everything I asked for and more.

Made real relationships.

But...

This was a chance, um...

...to retire my mother.

This was a chance to...

...change my family's life.

And I failed, period.

It was a great experience.

Everyone will tell you a million things.

But...

life...

...is, at the end of the day, result-based.

That's been my life a long time.

You either get the first down or you don't.

You either win or you don't.

Everything counts, you know?

PROBST: I always find it interesting when

people label getting voted out as failure.

That's not how Survivor works. You've already

lost the minute you show up on Survivor.

Almost everybody "loses."

It's how you play the game

that is the measure of success or failure.

And I'm just saying, if you were to use that

and listen to these two,

you're a bona fide success.

- A legend. - Legend.

ORI: Absolutely, but I came out here for a reason.

That's why-that's why I keep telling myself

the Shot in the Dark...

...is gonna hit

right here, right now.

PROBST: All right.

It is time to vote.

Ori, you're up.

Can't wait for this to say "safe."

Right here.

This is the one. Wish me luck.

I'll go tally the votes.

If anybody has an advantage or an idol

and you want to play it,

now would be the time to do so.

Ah.

Ah.

Can't wait to see you tomorrow, Jeff.

And we're gonna remember this conversation

when I'm sitting in the final three, I promise.

Okay.

This is a Shot in the Dark, which means

there is no vote in here from Ori.

If this scroll says you're safe,

then any votes cast against you will not count.

If it says "not safe,"

then any votes cast against you will count.

Ori, you are...

...not safe.

- Ah. - PROBST: Any votes

cast against you will count.

I'll read the votes.

First vote:

Ori.

Eighth person voted out of Survivor 51:

Ori. You need to bring me your torch.

Ah. [sighs]

- JELLY: Sorry, Ori. - ORI: You guys, uh...

Oh, man, this is brutal, Jeff.

Ori, the tribe has spoken.

Time for you to go.

It's a what?

It's a "choppa"!

- It's a "choppa"! - It's a "choppa"!

- Oh... - Love you, man.

Grab your torches. Head back to camp.

Good night.

Everybody drop your Buffs. You are merged.

- [cheering, shouting] - Oh, my God!

PROBST: Next time on Survivor...

BRADY: We can't keep a plan straight.

... that guy.

Things just hit the fan.

Played my Shot in the Dark. It said "not safe."

And that was all she wrote. Got eliminated tonight.

Heartbroken right now.

And I was playing with people that I really

genuinely care for and enjoyed being around.

When you go through the fire together,

and when you starve together, it bonds you.

It's an experience that

I wouldn't trade it for nothing. It's indescribable, honestly.
