ROB: I feel bad. I feel bad for Ethan.

Good move.

Well played. Adam, sorry buddy.

ADAM: Oh, man.

Tribal Council was tough.

I thought Parvati was going home.

But I revealed...

my alliance's plan to Boston Rob.

And he betrayed me.

Adam told me the plan to vote you off

and I blew it up to everybody, 'cause I told them

that Adam was a rat, playing both sides.

-Well, thanks for having my back. -Yeah.

ADAM: I got left out of the vote

by the people that I was supposed to be aligned with.

I just did everything that you're

not supposed to do in Survivor

and I had the hubris to think that I could get away with it.

Right, it was stupid.

It was really stupid.

Now you see what happens if you leak information...

-Right. Right. -...from our alliance.

I was just castrated in front of everybody.

I was playing all sides.

And, unfortunately, everybody knows it.

And I'm lucky to be here.

I pooped my pants tonight.

I survived by one vote.

Now I feel like everything has completely changed.

So I need to make an apology tour.

I hope you feel like you can trust me.

And I deserved every vote that I got tonight.

I'm certainly not gonna go back with Rob and Parvati.

I will not work with them. I will not work with Parv.

-You know what I mean. -Yeah.

BEN: Adam is that little weasel

that's sneaking through the bushes,

and whispering in everybody's ear. You know?

And that's not good for my game.

However, he's very lucky that the biggest threats

in the tribe are Boston Rob and Parvati.

Well, they're gonna try to do some stuff.

All we got to do is... I don't know.

Rob and Parv. It's Rob and Parv.

BEN: They're good at what they do.

And if you give them too much rope,

they're gonna grab a loop and put it

around your neck and hang ya.

We'll figure a way out of it, you know what I mean?

YUL: In the game of Survivor, these happy times

are just as important as the war times.

We're getting food, we're bonding with one another,

we're winning the challenges.

All of that just kind of builds

Well, that sucks.

SOPHIE: I remember in high school,

they thought it would be a good idea to take our class

on a trip to the prison,

and have us see what it looks like

when you're a prisoner.

And it scared the crap out of us.

And I think looking at Edge of Extinction, you know,

it really scares me, because I imagine

people are miserable. And so, it's kind of like

a daily reminder that the good times here are a facade.

-They got the numbers. -Now they've got the numbers.

They are way-- Whichever way they go.

Which is a little bit, uh... (chuckles) concerning.

TONY: So far, it's been real smooth for me.

And that's why I'm in a tricky situation right now.

If it was up to me, I would rather get rid of Nick,

'cause Nick is really not a threat.

He's my number, but he's not a shield.

Tyson is a shield, and he can be a number.

When one of us goes, it's just gonna be a frenzy

-to get all the targets out. -Yep.

Tyson is more of a target than I am.

I'm just hiding behind him.

And-and I don't want to lose him.

I don't want to lose him.

...where does that leave us? Me, you and Sandra.

Our only shield in this tribe right now

-is Tyson. That's it. -Is Tyson.

Anyone who's connected is gonna go sit

-at Extinction. -Yeah.

-I'm for sure locked with you, -Okay.

-me, Tony and Tyson. -Okay.

-Are you good with that? -Yes.

Yeah.

SARAH: I talked to Kim. She is solid with this.

Tony's right.

The big threats.

We need to band together

'cause we're being bamboozled.

Kim and I are 100% on board.

The problem is

it all hinges on Sandra.

If Sandra's not on board, the plan doesn't work.

-TONY: Anything to talk about, Sandra? -SANDRA: No.

I'm just trying to think what's better for us.

Okay, but I'm nervous about that,

because if we wipe out somebody like Tyson,

the next one could probably be me,

or it could be you, or it could be Sarah.

I...

I think... Yes.

If we don't swap, you think they're gonna say,

"Let's get rid of Kim"? No way.

They're gonna break one of us up.

SANDRA: Tony's right. We'd be stupid

to let Tyson go because he's a bigger target

than we are. But I don't trust Tyson.

I think he's ... dangerous.

Oh, man, he is.

But if he goes, I think they'll target us.

We got to think, okay?

That's all I'm asking. Just think about what I'm saying.

SANDRA: I've had issues with Tyson

since he threw my name out there,

but I've never allowed emotion

to control my game.

I like revenge,

but at the end of the day,

I love $2 million even more.

♪ ♪

PROBST: All right. Tony,

what's the state of this tribe

-right now? -TONY: Jeff, I know

it's hard for you to believe anything we say

over here in Tribal Council,

but, uh, believe this tonight

that the bonds that we all form together on a personal level

by far surpasses anything on a game level.

So tonight, as hard as it is

to vote somebody off,

it's a little bit more clear-cut on a game level.

PROBST: Yul, one of the hallmarks

of your season was your approach:

number crunching and laying things out.

And the game was very early.

You were an architect way back when.

But with only one Tribal under your belt,

it can't be as simple

as, "Let me just do some quick math here

and figure out where the vote's gonna go."

(chuckles): Yeah, I haven't been doing a lot of math lately.

(all laugh)

Um, look, at any moment in time, there'll be

various groups of people who feel closer to other

than other groups of people.

That's absolutely true. And the problem is

if you expose them in a hard vote,

they cement those lines, and they limit your options

because we haven't had to, like, take that Instamatic photo

that shows what the lines are at that point in time,

because those lines can change.

And we want them to be able to change.

PROBST: So, Sophie, Yul is saying,

"What we'd like to do is avoid

revealing that there are groups within the group."

That makes the vote critical because you have to keep

this facade going.

SOPHIE: And not only that,

but eight of us have to be accurate in choosing

the one person who is not gonna stay in that facade

at the time of a swap or a merge.

Who's the person that we can all unite against

to make that facade, however unreal it is,

as real as possible

-when we get to that swap? -NICK: And I'll tell you

right now, if I end up with you on another tribe,

I'm with you. Just know that.

-Me, too. (laughs) -Me, too.

-Me, too. -Me, too. -Same.

-Me, three. -See?

-Me, too. -For sure. -PROBST: Sandra,

it's a great pitch so long as you're in the group of eight.

SANDRA: Jeff, some people have plans,

and some might just say, "Hey." Like me.

I'm gonna do what everybody else wants to do,

because at the end of the day, when we go back to camp,

I want us to be back happy again.

PROBST: Tyson, Sandra's saying,

"I'm pretty much good with anything

"as long as it doesn't involve the letters

-S-A-N-D-R-A." -(laughs)

Yeah. That's definitely something

you can count on, and Sandra is the most solid person

in Survivor history at that strategy.

I mean, what, this is her fourth time?

And that's the way it works out.

PROBST: It is interesting, Yul,

that you've watched these people play.

Does that impact

how you relate with each other?

YUL: The one thing that's really struck me is, like,

the reality of who they actually are

is very different from what I thought

coming into the game. I mean, like, Tony

-I thought was gonna be an ... -(all laugh)

-Oh, wow. -YUL: Tony's actually a really caring person.

Like, people like him.

PROBST: Kim, is there a little bit

of idolatry that can happen in a season

not only with returning players, returning winners?

KIM: Yeah, for sure. Like,

I'm starstruck with certain people that I've

watched on TV, having been a huge fan of the game

since I was in high school.

(all laugh)

And you're one of them.

PROBST: Sophie,

how does that shift when it's time

to vote somebody out?

I think it's a... it's a real problem.

Like, I am starstruck by half of our tribe.

Like, what is, you know, the glossy headline

that you've read about Tyson,

about who Tyson is? Or, like, "Well,

Sandra wouldn't want to talk to me. Like, she's the queen."

And I think that it is critical

that we become less starstruck

by each other and see each other

for who we are here at this moment.

TYSON: I think that could also work the other way.

Maybe there's people here who say,

"That's my idol, and I'm gonna take him out of this game,

"and now I'm gonna show everybody at home

that I voted my Survivor idol out of Survivor."

PROBST: Sarah, that's the other side.

You can so focus in on the kill that you get credit for

that you can have your game thrown off.

SARAH: Right.

You are excited to take down, you know, the trophy.

Someone like the queen.

-And... -Which you've done before.

(all laugh)

SARAH: Yeah, I mean,

that one's hanging in my living room. (laughs)

PROBST: Sandra,

do you ever get starstruck?

-No. With this group? -(all laugh)

-No. -PROBST: Nick,

as a newer winner,

-ever starstruck? -NICK: Absolutely.

I mean, Parvati was my crush in high school, and, like...

(laughs) I still haven't met her, but I hear

her giggle over on the other mat.

I'm like, "No, she's married now.

Like, focus on the game." (chuckles)

(all laugh)

But, like Sophie said, that's something

that we have to control because it's almost, like, leading

to a lack of confidence

in myself as a player in this game.

And the other thing that makes me uneasy is

that I feel responsible for the loss,

so I feel like I'm the reason we're here tonight.

So, what do you try to do to make sure it's not you?

NICK: Very good question. Um,

I was told a plan, and that's what I want to do,

and I hope that's the way it goes tonight.

Who else would agree that they were told the plan?

-(laughs) -SOPHIE: Is everybody's

-hand raised? -TYSON: Yeah.

PROBST: Tyson, all this trust

and loyalty and invisible lines...

We're all on exactly the same page, and that makes us

all on different pages, maybe.
