Previously on Survivor, Lex embarked on a witch hunt to find out who voted

against him at tribal council. I will not live with a snake.

I will cut the head off of whoever it is that did this.

It was me, and I'm going to keep quiet for a while longer.

Ethan won the reward challenge and chose Lex to join him on an excursion to

barter goats for food and gifts. As a life experience, it was a day I will

never, ever forget.

for the rest of my life. Back at camp, Lex condemned Kelly for a vote she never

cast. There is absolutely no doubt in my mind now that she's the right. Kelly

tried to save herself by joining forces with the ex-members of Samburu, Teresa,

Frank, Kim, and Brandon.

I feel like my only real strategy is to try to defect.

But at tribal council, Brandon turned on the ex-Samburus and joined Lex to vote

off Kelly.

Kelly.

Eight are left.

Who will be the next to go?

The mood in camp this morning is pretty grim.

We had an emotion-packed tribal council last night.

And the mood is heavy. There's definitely two kind of divisions here.

You know, people that voted for Lex, people that voted for Kelly.

And we're waiting for the smoke and ash to settle before we can figure out kind

of what's going on. But the biggest issue in the game right now is trust and

who do you trust.

Who do you believe?

And, you know, that's kind of the... When you think about it in life, that's

kind of the foundation that you base everything on.

I mean, I'm going to be honest with you.

I don't really trust Brandon.

And if he's willing to turn like that on those people and on Kim and on his

friends... Then there's no reason. That's what they say.

That's what they say.

It was so shocking to me because I've trusted Brandon for 24 straight days.

He's been my friend, so I thought, and I thought what he said was, you know,

going to be true. And I'm really burnt up today for sure. I mean, I can't

understand it. I was set up by somebody who I thought was my friend.

Lex has made a bond, a supposedly strong bond with Brandon.

I mean, let's say you get immunity.

He has no loyalty to me. He has no loyalty to Tom. He has no loyalty to

Kim. He only has loyalty to you. Brandon saved our skin.

I know, but... And I won't forget that. And if I think that both Brandon and

Frank are sure bets to vote for each other, I'll go for the guy that did me a

favor. Not for the guy that's been trying to screw me.

Last night we had to do something to save our ass. Kelly was not going to be

the one to do that. Someone had to act. I acted and I'm regretting it now. I do

not want to make that decision anymore. It's a position I didn't ask for in the

first place. And I've been putting it and I don't like it. There's nothing but

doubt and lack of trust. And you guys need to help me figure this one out. I'm

not going to do it by myself.

Now the major issue here is Lex is 100% confident in Brandon.

However, I'm not 100% and Tom isn't 100% convinced that Brandon will be loyal to

us till the end.

I said, waiting on these women is the same all the time. It don't matter if

you're in Africa, in Virginia, in New York, you still got to wait on them.

It's a good thing there isn't a mirror around or it'd be twice the wait. Right?

And how many we got in there? Three?

Too many.

Got three damn women, and it's still 30 men.

Here we are in Africa. I ain't got a damn thing. There ain't nothing to do in

there.

This morning things are a little bit tense.

I went against my group last night and I voted Kelly off.

And so the old Samburo tribe is not very happy with me.

I wasn't going to align myself with Frank. That wasn't going to happen and

they should have known better than that. So that's pretty much my main

motivation. I would rather be out of here, you know, in three days than for

anybody back home to say that I had aligned with Frank in any way.

Frank just decided, I'm going to be a jerk about this thing, and it set the

tone for probably the next three days.

He approached me a few days ago and asked me to make an alliance with him,

and I said, you know, I've got my alliances already set. I don't feel

comfortable making an agreement with you. I mean, I was fully straight up

with him, and he's probably pissed off about the fact that I made some sort of

agreement with Brandon, who happens to be public enemy number one to Frank.

At this point now, I feel it's his time to go, because I'm having a hard time

dealing with that guy anymore. The guy has just become a...

pain in my butt and just having him around brings morale down the guy's

always in a sour mood it's just not good for tribe morale and i'm ready to get

rid of them

The flies are so rampant and so brazen, you're waving your hand and touching

them and they still stay there.

At home, you have one fly in the kitchen and you go ballistic.

I feel like the baboons, you're like picking, picking, picking. When we go

back home, we'll probably look like nervous wrecks, just picking at

ourselves all the time.

Between picking at the insects and picking at the scabs, we'll be...

Tom's got a massive boil, and I just can't stop looking at that thing. It's

like third eye, extra brain.

I don't know. I can't look it in the eyes. I'm like looking at the side of

his neck, and I mean, it's big. I've never seen a boil that big.

I have seen all these animals out here in Africa, and most of the animals that

are fit and strong usually has a horn.

Take the rhino.

So I'm growing a horn to fight off the beast that comes, and mainly it's coming

from inside the tank.

Oh, Lord, Big Tom.

Tom Boyle is making him crazy.

Misery loves company.

When you got something like this, they just can't keep their hands off of it.

Two weeks ago, he had one under his arm.

He squeezed it, and it hurt real bad, and it just popped, and oh, my goodness.

Tons of stuff seeped out. It would have filled up a shot glass.

Oh, my golly gee.

I think it's too deep.

Yeah. Women like to squeeze and cause pain to men, and that's one way they can

get back at you.

Some things you want them to touch, they won't. Some things you don't want them

to touch, they will. It's a typical beast.

Two little people.

Aren't they adorable?

You ready?

You'll need strength and agility and brains to contend. You can't do

it alone, so you each choose a friend.

The reward is for two, and evenings get away, so pair up and prepare to outwit,

outlast, and outplay.

So it's pairs, and there's eight of us.

I don't know what the fairest way to do it is.

I think if we start choosing up, it's going to be... It's going to get uglier

than it already is. Yeah, it's going to be difficult, I think, you know? We can

kill each other before we get to the... Well, we can put eight numbers in a hat.

Two ones, two twos, two threes, two fours.

It's our number four.

Yeah.

It's a good prize. Two, three.

Big Bear and Little Bear.

Who are you?

Big Bear.

Big Bear.

And Brandon and Frank.

Let the games begin. Let the games begin.

Believe me, I did not pick Brandon. Brandon would be the last person on

earth I would pick. I cringed because I saw everyone pairing up. And big old Tom

got a big belly full on this one, you know.

I better get away from him.

Frank is a man that's disposition is about 80 years old, setting his way.

And for them two to get together and go to reward, I swear, if I was playing a

dirty trick on him, I couldn't have thought of a better thing to do to

Frank.

And it was so funny, of all people, Frank and I partnered up. I mean, we are

polar opposites of each other. We could live next door to each other and never

say words to each other because our lives are so very different.

Me and Kim Powers, we're partners, and really it's the first time we've ever

been thrown together in anything.

Everybody's kept us apart.

Look at us.

Yeah,

look at us.

If it's physical, we're going to win, but if it's anything mental, we're

screwed. Come on now, follow my lead. Let's go.

You can tell yourself it's just a game a million times, but it's hard for me to

differentiate between playing the game very strategically versus playing the

game and bonding with people and building relationships.

Big Tom is just such a good, good person and I was totally excited to be paired

up with him and plus he's big and strong so we figured we might have a chance.

Big game here. Frank, listen, you and Brandon, you are a team. You are as one.

It's just funny seeing people that are matched up.

Everyone's got a partner now and everyone's happy.

And what do I think about my partner?

My camping trip just went to hell, that's all.

Okay, for today's reward challenge, we've assembled a good old-fashioned

survivor obstacle course.

You'll start by making your way over the cargo net and across the timber tumble.

You'll then go up the rope climb by using either the rope or the rope ladder

and ring the bell.

Next stage is the belly crawl.

You'll then go over a series of three walls.

That'll bring you to a ladder. You're going to assemble the ladder and use

that to get over the final 10-foot wall.

First team finished wins.

The winning team will leave camp, be under the African sky, and you'll have

your own private outdoor movie experience, complete with popcorn,

candy, hot dogs, and all the Mountain Dew you can drink.

We've randomly selected in what order you're going to run.

Brandon and Frank, you're up first against Tom and Kim.

Here we go, guys. This is heat one.

Winners move on to the next round.

Survivors ready.

Go!

Hold up, Brandon.

Nope, nope, nope. Now you're good. Now you're good. Go, go, go.

Oh, boy.

Tight race.

You guys are dead even.

You can go to the ladder, but don't start working on it without your

teammate.

If it's not fitting, it ain't working. This does. This wants to fit there.

That's the only place.

There's a square right here and right there.

Move your foot. It's got a flip-flop, man.

It looks like Brandon and they're up. It's theirs.

God, bitch!

Brandon and Frank win the first team.

Moving on to the finals, guys. Take a rest.

Here we go. Heat two.

Ethan and Kim, you're up against Lex and Teresa.

Winners, move on to the final.

Drivers ready?

Go!

You're great, Bieber.

Get that butt down.

Get that butt down.

Can't start on the ladder without her, though. Take your time.

You will use all your pieces.

Last one.

Ethan and Cam, moving on to the finals.

All right.

This is the final heat.

Winners are going to the movies survivor style.

Survivors ready?

Go!

Go,

Frank, go!

Go!

Come on, dude, let's go!

Combinational square round. Square round.

Hold on.

All right, this is your Mecca Here's your setup. You've got your own 35

millimeter projector with a movie that happens to be out of Africa Of course.

Behind you, a couple of chairs, and of course... Oh, my God.

Hot dogs, some chips, gorge, feast. You can do whatever you want. When the sun

comes down, we'll start the movie.

This is tough.

This is tough. I just feel guilty as hell eating it. Yeah, me too. Can't you

tell? He assumed his position well, I thought.

I think it's the beginning of something really big and permanent. I do, too.

I really do. It's a night to remember.

I hope it's a good moonlight night.

The key to success on this one with Frank and Brandon is working together

closely. Hands-on participation.

They definitely found their rhythm together. There's no doubt that they did

harmonize.

You could hear him back there cracking the whip on her. Well, you know what?

And it worked. And if you go to that movie tonight, you might hear that whip

again.

Hey,

I'd look for Frank to walk home any minute. When they drive Brandon home,

Frank would be walking.

I ain't riding with him.

This is a crazy movie.

It ain't even an army movie. They didn't kill nobody in this movie.

To see out of Africa, in Africa, was unbelievable.

Brandon's a competitor, and yes, I high-fived him in the spirit of victory.

Still doesn't mean that I'd go to coffee with him.

As far as the sharing of the movie with him and the reward challenge, has it

really changed my mind? No, it hasn't. I'm still old-fashioned, you know. I

don't even go there.

Frank is somebody that in my real life I would never be around. Frank is very

abrasive, you know, kind of cold, and he doesn't have that kind of warm side to

offset his less than charming personality.

Take the cards that I'm dealt with and make the best of them. It was difficult

enough for me personally, but hey, it's a movie. Be quiet and watch the damn

movie. Yeah, the company could have been better, but we simply had popcorn, we

had pop, we watched a movie, it's history, it's over with, let's move

forward.

Quit eating all the white meat.

Are there really no more?

Yep, they're all gone. You ate them all.

Liar. I saw you eat some.

Where does Brandon fit in now? That's what's become very complicated because

Brandon helped save our skins.

Brandon did us a favor. However, Tom and Ethan are not in agreement and they

still don't trust him. And they're actually talking about wanting to vote

Brandon out next, which I have a hard time understanding.

I don't think I'm going to be able to do that if this is one situation where I

may have to vote outside my fray.

You know, is your word just your word or does your word have a different level of

words? Like, is your word...

Brandon, just as important as your word with us?

No, it's, I mean, my word with you guys goes to the end of the game.

But, so when does your word with Brandon go?

When, I guess, if Brandon, you guys get rid of Brandon.

The big boy's been smelling a little rat.

How did Lex and Brandon get so tight all of a sudden?

I give you my word of honor, Brandon is going down before you.

I heard that since Lex says no, I've got to go across tribal boundaries and

get me more votes.

Presuming he's got an axe to grind with me tomorrow night.

Yeah. That's what I thought.

Huh? That's what I thought.

I like Tom. Tom reminds me of back home. You know, when things are slow, firm,

things get done.

You know, there's no political correctness. We're just men of action,

and we just do our job and get it done on that. Should have met Tom from day

one, you know.

Anyone down low?

I respect his original alliance, you know, with the Moran members.

But I sense he's growing uneasy with that. He sees some changes, obviously,

with Lex's recruitment of Brandon right next to his side. You know, he doesn't

like that.

People are changing their mind like they're changing their underwear.

Here's the thing.

The more I thought about it, the more I thought, you know, I just wanted to get

with Kelly because she was so, because she was like double talking.

And I would have never voted for Lex. I know, but there was no way in the line

that, I mean, I didn't know what to say in the line with them watching us. You

could have just pulled me aside for two seconds and I don't care if Lex was

watching you because you owed it to me because you were my friend. I do. I'm

still your friend.

It didn't have anything to do with that.

Matches. Something to do with fire.

Well.

Just vote for me next time or whatever, because I can't take hearing you say

stuff about me. You know what I mean? I don't want to hear that anymore. It just

hurts me.

Because you're the only person I care about. I can't take that.

Because you're still my friend, and you're going to be my friend forever.

I appreciate that.

Okay.

Y'all go ahead and read it. It says,

Earth, wind, and fire, elements to win this game. The object, pretty simple, be

the first to make a flame.

It's done here every day, but it may cause some strife, and with tribal

council pending, fire represents your life.

Oh.

Oh.

The immunity challenge feels very important to me personally.

I mean, I am now in the most vulnerable position of anyone in...

in our tribe. I have the most, as far as I know, I've got the most votes against

me. So I'm going to do everything I can to win immunity.

Depending on who wins immunity is going to put a whole spin on this game. And

it'll be very interesting to see who gets voted off next.

I mean, it could very well be me.

I know a lot of people want to vote Brandon off.

I know Teresa still thinks that we might be able to vote Lex out.

So it's going to be very interesting, and whoever wins immunity, it will be

hugely important this time. I mean, it always is, but this is, like, another

really crucial move to win immunity.

guys like falling into formation first things first Ethan got to

take back the immunity necklace once again immunity back up for grabs well if

there's one thing you guys had to have learned by now it is how important fire

is for survival and after 26 days all eight of you should know how to make

fire today we're going to find out who's the best here's how it's going to work

on my go you'll gather as much brush as many sticks, elephant dung, whatever you

want, bring it back, put it in your fire circle. Then, using a magnifying glass,

the bright light of the sun, you'll attempt to create fire.

The goal is get your flame high enough to light the wick, which will drop the

bag and raise the flag.

First person to raise their flag wins immunity, guarantees themselves three

more days in Africa, and a one in seven shot at a million bucks.

Only one rule.

None of the material you gather can touch any part of your structure,

including the wick. Only the flame can touch your wick. Anything other than the

fire, you'll be disqualified. Take your positions. Wait for my go.

This is for immunity.

Survivors ready.

There you go.

Human legs have fire.

Frank has fire.

Come on. Come on. Burn.

Burn. Burn.

Come on. Come on. Burn.

Burn.

Frank, you're branched. Touch the string. I'm sorry. You're out.

Everybody keep going.

Keep going.

Kim, keep going. It's not over.

Keep going you guys cannot have anything hit the way I understand keep going

Come on

Wins immunity.

Lex was first done. It was a clean hit. Immunity.

Had four votes at last tribal council. I'm thinking you might need this. I'm

thinking this is good. Congratulations.

Nice job.

I've been out here for 24, 25 days now.

I have a lot invested, and the longer you're out here, the more you want to go

all the way. I mean, it has a strange way, psychologically, of working out

that way. You just, it becomes less and less an option to take that long walk,

you know, out of the game. You want to stay.

Sweet fiesta.

That's right.

Amen.

Sweet, sweet fiesta.

I think the next couple of days are going to be really difficult.

We've got to make a decision. Tom, Ethan, Kim and I have to make a decision

about what we're going to do at Tribal Council and how we're going to vote.

I've already indicated to them that if they decide that Brandon's the mark,

that I can't vote that way and they better be able to figure out a way to

get extra votes or else our coalition, our alliance is going to go down and

they're going to be able to pick us off one by one.

If he doesn't make a deal with us, he's going to make a deal with them. And then

all bets are off and you're screwed.

Because Frank will vote for you. Don't get me wrong. He's going to vote for you

in a heartbeat if he thinks he can win.

If he gets Brandon on board, he's voting for you. And then Brandon's next.

Guaranteed. Think about that. Don't take too long. Because if you take too long,

you're going.

Oh, I know. I know.

I know.

Lex has done said he will not vote against Brandon.

So.

But that's fine.

But that, you know, it's kind of like going to dance. If you dance with my old

lady, I'll dance with yours.

Yeah.

Well,

I'm telling you, if I shake your hand on something, you can count on me.

I'm tired. I really want to run.

You see something around right in there moving?

See, it just went to the right of it. That may just be another gazelle right

there.

Frank hates Brandon enough to say he wants Brandon gone.

I know the way Frank thinks, and Frank wants to get as far as possible. And

that's the American way. We all do. And so he will do anything, even make...

friends with Brandon again to get further in the game. He will compromise

his whatever it is to make friends with Brandon. I still feel safer getting it

done that way than the other way. Than trusting Brandon to go to hell. Hell

yeah.

ready for day after tomorrow.

From what I've been able to see, anybody who either tried to manipulate people,

jump ship, come up with a plan B, too soon got gooned.

These are smart people, and if they see the writing on the wall that you lack

confidence and you're looking to come up with an ulterior plan, you shoot

yourself in the foot.

with the people that you have somewhat of an original alliance with.

So I've been pretty steadfast in trying to keep with my original alliance.

I really have not faltered from that, and for me, that's worked. At least it's

gotten me this far.

Yeah, exactly.

Hey, Big Tom got himself in between a crack and a hard spot.

I'm still going to hold to my guns, but after his folks tonight, and Lex don't

help me.

We may not have such marriages we won't stay

The

tribal council tonight little Kim is a big question

mark. I know she has a bond with Brandon However, he screwed her over big time.

So I don't know if she's resentful They said they'd never vote for each other,

but I can't count on that 100% I know Frank doesn't love Lex, you know, and

they see him as a leader, and they don't like the way he leads, and if they get

him off, you know, they thought, you know, they'd have a better chance of

getting into the Final Four. They smell the Final Four, those guys. And that's

the one thing that makes me a little nervous about Frank and about Teresa, is

they could be so close to the Final Four if they side with Brandon.

We'll now bring in the first member of our jury.

Kelly returns tonight.

Kelly will be with us for each tribal council.

And each week, one of you will join her.

Jury is always here only to observe. You're not to speak to the jury.

Ultimately, the jury will have the last say as they will make the final vote to

determine who gets the million dollars and the title of survivor.

So before we get to tonight's vote, let's talk about the past few days.

Ethan. Can you capture in one word what this game is about?

What's the overriding quality that it takes to get this far?

I'd say confidence.

Confidence in yourself, confidence in your friends that you make, confidence

in your decisions, confidence in winning the challenges.

Brandon, do you look at this in terms of morality and ethics or do you look at

this in terms of what are the rules and how far can I push them?

Yeah, you know what I do?

I wouldn't do anything like amoral or, you know, disgusting or anything like

that. But as far as just playing the game goes, yeah, it's a game. And I came

to have a really good time, and I have.

Big Tom, is this an adventure that tests your morality and integrity, or is this

a game that is about rules and how can I exploit them? Morality doesn't play.

All of the above.

You know, you've got to hold all of them before you get through the day, and

you've got to check yourself.

And then you look in the eyes of your compadres and say, well, is he the same

kind of man I came in here with?

How's his value changed or what? But I can't dwell that much because whatever

happened will happen, and I can't change that. And out here, there's other things

to do.

What is there to do out here other than think about the game?

Well, Lord have mercy.

I've had to wash these women.

I've got responsibility.

Dang, they got a sink.

Well, it's a pretty lively bunch.

Frank, how big an issue is trust at this point?

Trust is a big factor because it could be the shield that takes you all the way

up there.

How much there is, it's hard to tell. You know, it's very limited in some

respects, you know, or a little broken here or there. But when you do find it,

it means an awful lot.

Lex, what do you base your votes on? How well you trust somebody?

Trust plays a huge part.

And probably the single biggest factor I take into consideration when voting is

my gut.

It's how I make decisions in life.

But your gut out here is influenced based on a certain set of experiences,

facts, assumptions.

Fair? Fair, but my gut still doesn't lie, and my gut is still pretty damn

accurate.

Kim, how about you? When you vote for somebody, is it based...

Strategy, got to get rid of them. They're too strong. They could win it.

Or is it, you know what, they're just not nice, and I want them to go?

I would say it's the latter.

But I go on, who am I comfortable with? Who will I respect in the final three,

the final two?

If it's not me, who do I want to win?

And again, I'm a little bit like Lex. I go on a gut feeling of who I respect and

who I'm comfortable with.

Kim, think you've made any wrong judgments?

Sure. Yeah, I definitely think that. I think my biggest weakness is that I

build relationships with people and trust them and

foolishly think that some of that is part of the game when really the game is

much more about strategy. And I think my biggest weakness is being naive.

Okay, it's time to vote. Tom, you're up first.

Frank, you have been nothing but rude, grouchy, and a poor sport, and the last

few days with you have been insufferable.

Bottom line, you've been a real downer, and I can't wait to see you gone.

Bye-bye.

I don't even really know what to say. It's such a shame that I came to this,

but I just don't trust you.

I don't know, even if we had friendship, I'm not even sure of that anymore, but

I'm sorry that I came down to this.

I'll go tally the votes.

Once the votes have been counted, the decision is final. The person will be

asked to leave the tribal council area immediately.

I'll read the votes.

First vote.

Brandon.

Brandon.

Frank.

Brandon.

Frank, that's four votes Brandon, two votes Frank.

The ninth person voted out, the second member of our jury, Brandon.

You need to bring me your torch. Guys, it's only 12 more days. Have a lot of

fun.

Brandon, the tribe has spoken.

It's time for you to go. See you, Sugar Bear.

with two members on the jury now and a one in seven shot at winning this whole

thing. This game is getting very tricky.

You guys can head back to camp. Good night.

Stay tuned for scenes from our next episode.

Next time on Survivor, Lex is in the hot seat. All he was worried about was Lex.

Now he's got to thinking about me and you.

Tom takes up shower duty. Tom gets away with murder.

Frank shows his sensitive side. This little liberal special interest group

that the media give open market to instead of the average working class

American that founded this country.

I cannot believe I made it 27 days. I had never gone camping, never slept on

the ground.

I don't have any hard feelings for those guys for voting me off because,

honestly, I stirred up some trouble. I do regret, however, that Kim feels like

I somehow betrayed her. I think she is such a great person. I should be saying,

damn, I didn't win, but you know what?

I feel like I won.
