1 Yo, we got to freaking day ten!

Yay! Yay! Did you think

we'd be here-- us three?

You know what I really hoped? I-I'm serious.

I wanted you, and I wanted you.

- Sure. - I felt that, too. I felt that.

It's-it's weird how that happens, but I did.

I did honestly.

Tribal went really well.

I went with my instincts to trust

that Shan and Ricard were voting JD

because, the last Tribal, I was on the wrong side

of the vote on a blindside.

And usually that means you're on the bottom of the tribe.

But I was reassured that's not the case, and now

I-I feel very, very solid with the three of us.

Do you want me just to go get water, and...?

Yeah.

So, two Tribals ago,

Brad left with an immunity idol in his pocket.

"Congratulations.

You have found a three-way shared immunity idol."

So now we're assuming that the same

Beware Idol, the three-way idol,

was going to go back into play.

Right now, at this moment, we got to fend for ourselves.

We-we are the fewest number of people at any tribe.

We got three.

So we need every arsenal and every tool we can have.

Ooh-hoo! What?!

I found an immunity idol?

Ricard! Shan!

What?

If it is what I think it is, you lose your power to vote

until that idol can get turned on, or until the merge.

We know Yase tribe has found their idol,

but Luvu has not found theirs.

That is terrifying, especially with only three of us left.

I have a feeling it's the same thing that Brad had.

Okay, if we open it, do we think that Luvu went and got the idol?

See, I don't think Luvu went to look for the idol.

If they didn't get it, this doesn't matter

- and we've lost our vote. - Right, but then we get our...

No, we get our vote back, don't we?

But at the merge. At the merge. Here's the thing.

Our vote is our voice,

and it's the most powerful thing you have in the game.

So maybe I'm thinking we don't touch it.

And the truth is, I don't want Genie to open it because

I don't want anyone having any more potential power

in this game than me.

So I just said, "Let's...

let's just leave it here for now and come back to it."

We'll leave it right there, and we know where to come back.

Cool.

- Nobody betrays anybody and grabs it. - All right.

Nobody, please, take it.

I don't know what it is.

I... There's just something I don't trust about her.

- She might have opened it. - Yeah.

So, we... we could look at the packaging really quick

- to see if it's been opened. - We should go check that.

There's a part of me that's like,

"Just kill it. Just kill it.

Nothing good can come from it."

And then, on the other hand, I'm like,

"I've got this extra vote in my back pocket."

So I'm thinking...

why not open it? Maybe I'm gonna open it.

- Well, I'd rather give you the vote. - Yes.

And have you write her name 'cause I told her

- I'd never write her name down. - Yes.

- It works? - Sure.

But what's the argument to Genie to let me open it?

It's like Pandora's box.

I don't know what I'd be unleashing.

And yet, the Survivor player in me can't help

but want to take a risk.

Let's do it now. Let's do it now. Let's do it now.

She's, like, right there.

Okay, remember how it was tied like a Christmas present.

See, it's a three-way.

Um, phrase... Um...

-"I didn't realize until now." - Wait, wait, wait.

- Hey, come on. Okay.

It's the same exact advantage that Brad had, so,

if nothing is said by the merge, this becomes a souvenir.

Which... That's trash.

Now that Shan has opened the Beware Advantage,

and she doesn't have a vote,

she has to give me her extra vote.

It's just the only thing that makes sense.

- If we don't need it, you'll give it back, right? - Yes.

Now, I've been trying to come up

with different scenarios of how to navigate

Shan actually needing to say the phrase

for the idol to be active.

And so, I'm going to tell Genie

that we want to say the phrase out loud, maybe,

just to see if Luvu has the idol or not.

But just out of curiosity, I was like,

"Well, maybe, Shan-- maybe you say it,

just to see if the Luvu person says it."

Even though it won't really do anything, but...

Yeah.

That's some boss stuff right there.

Right now, Shan and I together--

we are a solid duo controlling the game.

And Genie--

she's a spare tire that we're about

to just put on the side of the road

when we don't need her anymore.

We haven't actually eaten fish up until this point,

but I consider myself to be a mermaid,

and I've always known that I feel in my element in the water.

♪ Hey, hey, hey, hey...♪

Everyone's like, "Wow. Like, women catching fish."

And I'm like, "Whatever."

I never saw myself as any different

as men, but it is cool to get that accolade.

- Oh, no. - I got to throw my-my... my age-old idea out there.

You look at the other tribes.

The men are leaving the game,

and they're leaving the game very quickly.

So I'm absolutely nervous, uh,

that the women will have more numbers than us

at a switch or a merge.

I'm realizing that

Naseer's probably not somebody that I want to play with,

specifically because he doesn't want to throw the challenge.

But he's somebody that's gonna be necessary

if I want to move forward in this game.

- I agree. I agree. - Yeah. I agree. I agree.

I'm feeling great here.

It seems like my tribe is

including me in many conversations.

Yeah.

So...

- So... Danny and Deshawn

agreed before the challenge,

do not throw... just throw away the challenge.

And now I am feeling great

because these guys want to work with me.

- I'll bring some up. - Let me know.

I'm like, "Yeah, that's amazing. That's music to my song."

Yes.

I would love to go to the end with people that, like,

if they won, I wouldn't hate myself. You know what I mean?

- Exactly. - Yeah, and I think as long

- as you and me stay tight... - Yeah.

...no matter what happens to this tribe, we're good.

- Yeah? Yeah. - Exactly.

I think

Xander thinks of me as his number one.

And the three women-- we know we're the three,

and Xander's on the outs, so it's all

about making sure Xander feels like he has all the power.

- Right? - Yeah.

She has something going with him,

- and it's beyond me. - I know.

I think Evvie's alliance with Xander

is a much tighter alliance than she wants

to let on to me.

Yeah.

Okay. Thank you.

That-- I don't think it's crazy.

Yeah, I know.

- Oh, it's in my bag. - Oh, it's in your bag.

- But I just sleep on my bag. - Yeah, I think it's fine.

He has an extra vote.

Yeah. Yeah.

- It says, "You have found a hidden immunity idol." - Okay.

But it doesn't activate unless all three other players

at the same challenge repeat the phrase.

And you can't vote until it's activated.

So until the merge, he's worthless.

Another way to throw him under the bus.

Get him out.

Done.

Yeah. Should we just tell Tiffany?

'Cause I'm, like, sure of you, me, and Tiff.

- Yeah. Yeah. - But I'm not sure of Liana.

I'm fine with that. I think that would lock her in with us.

- Don't you? - Yeah, yeah, I think so, too.

I don't have a vote.

I have my Beware Idol that hasn't been activated yet.

And so I have no power.

I'm completely stuck.

I'm at the mercy of my tribemates.

And I feel like Tiffany's someone who is in the middle.

So I really want to cement that trust.

Let me see what a real one looks like. - Yeah.

It's so exciting. - Right?

- It's pretty freaking cool. - I know.

Okay, where's the thing that goes with it?

The letter? - Yeah, right?

No? Or you don't have that?

I mean, I've got the... the congratulations one.

He's being very, very giving.

And as he's showing me this stuff, there's papers

coming out of his bag, and there's other papers that say

the phrases thing that you need to activate.

But what about the butterfly and stuff like that?

- Didn't you say something like "Crazy"? - Yeah, yeah, yeah.

And he starts stumbling

and realizes that he's already said one of the phrases

during the last challenge.

- And Brad also said one of those statements.

Now, Xander told me he only found this today.

So I didn't find it this morning. I just told... like...

- Wait. I'm so confused. - Yeah.

So I was worried about you guys, like, getting nervous...

Okay, okay, okay.

I lied a little bit.

But she works with kids

who are delinquents--

kids who have made mistakes.

It's her job to forgive them, so I'm hoping

that she'll take pity on me,

and we'll work together.

I am used to being on 24-7. It's what I do.

It's my job, so with Xander,

I'm on to him.

Come on in.

Luvu and Yase getting your first look

at the new Ua tribe.

JD voted out at the last Tribal Council.

This is the hottest spot

in all of Fiji, if not the Earth.

It is day 11. I am already drenched.

I cannot imagine how you're doing.

I'm hot, I'm tired. She's vegan.

- She's losing her mind. She thinks everything's food. - Yes.

Yes, I was, like, losing my mind. I didn't realize it

until just now, but broccoli are just small trees.

We're a little rough. I think,

you know, we're all just trying our best.

- We have no rice. No calories.

He was talking about ladybugs being his dead relatives

- or something. Actually, I said

I truly believe

that butterflies are dead relatives saying hi.

Oh, my goodness. So, you know...

We're all going crazy.

Well, you are... off.

- All right. - Jeff?

I am as confused as a goat on... Astroturf.

Oh, my God.

Oh, my gosh.

Oh, my gosh. Oh, my gosh.

Oh, my goodness. What is this?

I was looking early morning,

and all of a sudden, I saw something right on a branch.

I'm like, "Whoa!"

I can see my daughter right front of me

when I found that idol.

She created her own idols and hid in our backyard.

Then she made me find those idols on a daily basis.

It's amazing. But noth...

You know what? I love this game.

This is the reason I love this game.

Always something new, and it's never easy.

You have to work hard to get it, but that is why I'm here.

My daughter's going to be so proud of her daddy

because that training worked out.

This is for you, my love. Raya, I love you.

Yeah.

All right, let's get to today's immunity challenge.

First things first-- got to take 'em back.

- Thank you, Naseer. - You're welcome. Thank you, sir.

Once again, immunity is back up for grabs.

For today's challenge, you're gonna go up and over a net ramp,

release a key, unlock a machete,

use that machete to drop your sandbags.

You will then fire your sandbags at two targets.

First two tribes to finish win immunity,

safe from the vote.

You're also playing for a reward.

Want to know what you're playing for?

- Yes. - Yeah. - Yes, sir.

Wow. All right.

Okay, all right.

First tribe to finish--

a giant tarp. I don't care how many people you have,

it will keep you dry. Second tribe to finish--

not as big. Still offers a little protection and comfort.

- Man. Losers--

Tribal Council, where somebody will be the sixth person

voted out of this game, and I'll keep your flint.

All right, Luvu, you have three extra people.

You can sit out anybody.

Who's it gonna be? Erika, Heather

and Deshawn gonna sit out.

Yase, you have one extra person. Who are you gonna sit out?

Tiffany gonna take a spot on the sit-out bench. Everybody else,

give you a minute to strategize, and we'll get started.

Let's do it!

All right, here we go.

For immunity and reward.

Survivors ready.

- Go! Go, Yase! - Come on, Luvu!

First part of this, you got to get all three people up

and over this net. It's not easy.

No shortcuts, you just got to work together.

- My back. - Genie is on.

Good job, Xander! Let's go.

Xander getting up there. - Good job.

Nice job, Danny. - Luvu getting through it quickly.

- Danny's now up there.

You got to get everybody on the other side.

Good job, Naseer. - You're good, Luvu. One person.

- Good work, Naseer. - You got it.

It's Naseer trying to untangle the knots.

Here comes Xander, going hard.

There goes Ricard for Ua.

Waiting on Evvie. That's a big jump.

- Let's go. You're good. Good job, girl.

Liana now. You've got Liana,

Ricard and Naseer trying to get that key to drop.

You have to untangle all of the ropes.

Then that key will drop, and you can unclip it.

Nice!

Naseer's very close. He's got it. Release that key.

You're good. Now unlock the machete.

Yes. Machete man.

Luvu in the lead!

- Naseer has a lot of time.

You're looking to take down two targets.

Naseer gonna fire.

Ooh. Just misses.

Take your time. Get a feel for it.

Liana has the key for Yase.

- Yes, yes, there it is. - Ricard has the key for Ua.

- Now unlock the machete. - Go, go.

- There you go. - One, two, three, four.

Liana, you're a rock star.

Go, hack that bad boy.

That's how you do it!

- Nice. Ua's in it, Yase's in it.

- You got it. - Naseer looking to hit that first target,

take advantage of this time lead.

- Yeah! Yeah! - And he does! There's one for Luvu.

It's going to be Ricard firing for Ua.

- Get the feel for it. - You got this, Ricard.

- Oh. Ricard just short.

- Go, go. - Another learning curve to figuring out

the slingshot, but you'll get it quickly.

Xander knocks down the first target for Yase.

It is now Yase with one and Luvu with one,

and Ua in dead last again.

There we go. Hey, that's good.

- That was good, though. Naseer for the win.

- Just misses. - Oh, so close.

Here comes Danny in for Luvu.

Ricard trying to get immunity.

Oh, it hits the post. Not enough.

Oh, my gosh.

- Oh! Xander just misses. Oh!

Oh! Danny just clips

the bottom of the post.

Here's Xander. Can he win it for Yase?

- There it is!

Yase wins immunity!

- Yes! - Yeah! - Yeah, man.

- Oh, my God. - Wow.

Let's go! Take your time. It's all good.

Go! Go! Jump!

We're looking for one more.

Losers-- Tribal Council.

Oh, you were right there.

Naseer coming back in.

Come on, you got this. You got this.

Put your body weight into it.

We got Ricard and Naseer in a showdown.

Ricard misses by just an inch.

Oh, my gosh. Oh, my gosh.

Naseer for the win for Luvu.

- There it is!

- Oh, no! - Naseer does it for Luvu...

Yes! -...sending Ua

back to Tribal Council,

where the tribe of three will become

- a tribe of two. - Good job, Ua.

- Good job, you guys. That was so hard.

- Good job, both of you guys. - Oh.

You all right? It was fun.

Yase, congratulations.

Immunity once again.

Come grab your giant tarp and rope to assemble it.

Well earned.

Luvu, another immunity.

Thanks, Jeff.

Come grab your tarp.

All right, before I send you on your way,

Yase, you're going to send two people on a journey.

- Ooh. Oh.

They will make a decision. Pick somebody

from the losing tribe-- Ua.

Who are you going to send? Anybody can go.

Nobody of the three has been on a journey yet.

- Who are you gonna send? - Shan.

- Really? - Okay, Shan will be going

on the journey from Ua.

One more person's gonna go. It can be

from Luvu, or it can be from your tribe.

- I'm gonna go. All right.

Liana gonna go for Yase.

So Liana and Shan will take a journey together.

Yase, nobody going home. You guys can head back to camp.

Liana will stay.

Luvu, once again, nobody going home from your tribe.

Grab your stuff, head back to camp, enjoy the night off.

Thanks, Jeff.

All right, Ua, Tribal Council tonight.

Somebody will be voted out.

I will continue to hold onto your flint

as a punishment for losing.

Genie, Ricard, head back to camp.

See you tonight at Tribal. Shan, Liana,

you two are going to take a journey together.

Head out, boat'll pick you up.

You'll both return back to your camp before Tribal Council.

I'm concerned about Camp Ua.

You know, being away for so long, I just know

they're gonna come up with a plan to blindside me.

It's inevitable. They have to talk about that reality, right?

But I'm also super excited because Liana is somebody

that I've wanted to meet, so,

you know, hopefully, it all comes together.

I am super excited

because Liana is somebody I've wanted to meet

and wanted to connect with for a while.

And so, I want to cultivate trust because

you cannot play this game without trusting someone.

You can't trust anyone, and yet you have to trust someone,

because nobody gets to the end without trust.

So, how old are you? - I'm 34.

No freaking way. - Yes.

You look so young and kick-ass.

Oh, that's so sweet. - That's awesome.

- I'm super psyched that they chose us both to go. - Okay,

they're gonna be thinking we're gonna work together

- as two Black women. - Yeah, yeah, yeah.

- We have to be super careful. - I know. Oh, I know.

Do you feel under pressure tonight?

- But know I have the idol. - Okay.

So, Xander has an extra vote,

- and he has the third... the now... that immunity idol. - Yeah.

I think it's an advantage

to be playing with two women of color

because if I am here, you know, going into the merge,

then I'll have another ally on the other side.

So that's kind of what the situation is, and so,

when we get back, obviously, I'm not going to say

that I know anything about the idol. I'm gonna play dumb.

- Yeah. Yeah. - That's good. I think that's good. Oh, my goodness.

But I'm definitely gonna play down us.

Us. Yeah, all the way through, even when we merge.

All the way, even when we merge.

Liana, I told you my game, okay?

- I know. I know. I... - Okay, so...

- I will take you with me. - If your name's out there,

I'll tell you. If your name's out there, you'll tell me.

- Yes. Yes. - We'll cross communicate, 100%.

- All the way, okay? - Seriously.

Seriously. I'm... listen.

- Yes. - If by any chance, I am not here on day 12,

- Ricard cannot be trusted because he's my number one. - Okay.

Wow. This is really beautiful.

My mom would love this.

Oh my God. I'm so sorry. Well, how old were you?

Um, just... I was... I was thirty... two.

- Still. Still. - So she was...

It was, like... It was May 22.

So Mother's Day is that, you know, May,

- and then she passed, so... - I'm so sorry.

Oh, my God, I can't imagine not having a mom.

- Oh. So many hugs in here.

When I look out at the ocean, I think about my mom.

When I was little, she was my everything,

but she was battling with the demons of addiction,

and because of that, I was put in foster care.

I got mixed up in the wrong crowd

and became affiliated with a gang.

It was a really, really dark time in my life.

I felt completely abandoned,

and I didn't even want to live anymore.

I remember a girl at school inviting me to church.

That was where I found my higher power

and became a pastor.

My mom and I hadn't spoken in years,

but the last five years of her life we got really close

and really connected, and

I just miss her so much.

You're the first person that, when I told that,

you're like, "Sorry." I think people don't know what to say.

No. Like, there's nothing like your mom.

I've spent days with Ricard and Genie,

and I don't think I've had moments with them like that.

- It's okay. It's okay. And then I meet Liana, and

I have this moment with her after, what, three hours

of taking a trek up a hill?

That tells you that connections are so much bigger

than just, like, the time you spend with someone.

Oh, boy.

Do what you need to do.

- I could risk it. - You need something.

I need something, so I think I'm going to lean that way probably.

Okay, I won't risk it. I want you to have it.

- Okay? - Okay. Okay.

I choose not to risk my vote. One-- because

I need my vote for tonight because of Tribal,

and two-- because

genuine trust is so rare in this game.

I just wept on top of the mountain with this girl.

I trust that that is something that's going to be stuck

in her mind 'cause I know it's stuck in mine.

- I'll see you on the other side. - See you on the other side.

- The merge. - The merge.

And I want Liana to have something

in her pocket going back to Yase.

- You got this? Good luck. - Okay.

And it's not about who you trust in this game.

It's about who trusts you.

From the moment my feet hit the sand on this beach,

I've been playing an individual game,

but I see something in Shan, and it was mutual, so

my individual game changes going into the merge.

I'm going to risk it.

Thank you, Shan!

Yes, this is what I need.

This is what I need.

Oh, my God.

This advantage is so valuable.

Essentially, how it works is

asking the right person the right question means that

I can steal either an idol or an advantage. I can literally

say the word and take someone's idol at Tribal.

Like, that's insane.

I should hide it.

Shan said to me,

"I'm giving you 100% right now."

And now I have this advantage where I needed it most.

As long as I keep telling myself I'm not

that hungry, I don't actually feel hunger.

Xander's absolutely not someone I can trust,

but Knowledge Is Power gives me

everything I need to potentially snuff his torch.

She has not talked to me at all.

I don't know if I'm being paranoid.

I feel like Shan is going to vote me out tonight.

Shan getting chosen for the journey hurt a little bit, but

me having this time to really

let this fake story with Genie sink in--

it's really perfect.

My game plan is, throw Shan under the bus,

make her sound awful, and create a story for Genie

of why she needs to vote with me to take out Shan,

when in reality, Shan and I

take out Genie.

Every move I've made, she has taken credit for,

and is in a way more powerful position

- than me. - Oh, my God, the fire. Let me check the fire.

Ricard is very strategic,

but he does kind of come off a little bit

distrustful.

You would... you would be willing to write down her name?

I'm willing to write down her name 'cause it would...

Otherwise, it would be my name.

My game plan coming into camp was,

I need Ricard

to talk to me to vote Shan out, and sure enough, he did.

It has been a huge concern of mine-- her and me in the game.

This is just an idea I'm throwing out.

Yeah, I'd like to hear it.

If it was the two of us together,

I feel like it would be so unexpected

that we would be tight. People would be like,

-"Oh, it was clear Shan and him were tight." - Right.

And we could be way more stealth than her.

Ricard, that's what I'm feeling right now.

If you think you can work better with me from now on...

'Cause I'm definitely at the bond right now.

- Oh, my God, yes. - Yeah?

Come on, let's put some...

He thinks getting rid of her might be the better idea,

and keeping me.

But I didn't tell him, "Well, me and Shan-- we're voting you."

- Hello! - How'd it go?

Can I just say...?

Heading back to camp, I'm so nervous

because I haven't been there

all afternoon, and so I know

they've been strategizing about me,

so I know that I want to tell them what's happened,

share everything that I can with them about the journey.

- Want to sit out here on the beach? Yeah, yeah.

And then I want to start

pitching to them 'cause I know the sun is going down,

and Tribal is coming.

So, Liana and I go to this, like,

island, and we see this sign that says, like,

"You've got to make this journey, this trek

"all the way up to the top of the hill.

And then you're going to have to make a decision."

Right? So, basically, um, I told her, I said,

"I value my vote in this game

- because we're going to Tribal tonight." - Yeah.

And I said, "You should risk your vote and just know

"that I'm not going to risk mine,

and you'll definitely get the advantage."

Okay. So what was the advantage they offered you?

- I don't know. They don't tell you until you play. - Oh.

And I just turned the big... the big steering wheel

to the right and protected my vote.

Wow.

I know you guys have been strategizing

all afternoon, and I would appreciate just a moment

- to pitch my... - Well, I need to pitch myself, too, so...

I need to pitch myself, too.

Can I go first? Is that cool?

- Can I talk to Shan first? Sure.

I have an idol in my pocket that's been activated,

but I'm feeling very nervous, very anxious.

I am an option. You know, it is very possible

that they could blindside me and vote me out, so I need

my one-on-one with Genie and my one-on-one with Ricard

'cause I don't know if they're both with me.

I've got to figure that out.

What I want to do is I want to stick with you.

I want to stick with you, too.

Okay. Um...

Did Ricard pitch me?

- He did pitch... - As a blindside?

As a blindside, yes.

- Okay, okay. - But I'm still...

- I'm still with you. - We're locked in here?

- I-I promise you. I promise you you're fine. - Okay. Okay.

- On your faith and whatever faith I still have... - Okay.

-...I promise you I'm with you. - Okay. Okay.

I trust Genie. I believe Genie.

She's an honest player, so when Genie tells me

that Ricard is coming after me, there's a part of me

that's thinking I have to get the extra vote back from Ricard

as, like, insurance. I want him to know that if

he votes me out, the extra vote goes

with me and so does the idol.

I don't want this to set off any alarms,

but could you give me my advantage that I got from JD,

just so that you keep me in the game

so you know that we have all the things come merge?

But then you have no reason to keep me.

I'm keeping you, Ricard.

I gave it to you because, you know,

we thought I wouldn't have a vote

because I took the idol.

It sounds like you're trying to get it so you can blindside me.

No, I'm not. I'm not. I just want...

Okay, one-- to be honest-- one-- I want what I...

I-I... I did the legwork for with JD.

That's what I want, but it's ours.

I just want insurance so that, like, you're-you're like,

"Shan has the idol, Shan has the advantage.

"I'm not going to vote her out because she's got these things,

and they work for us." That's how I feel.

But there's no insurance for you to keep me. Like, I...

There would literally be no reason to keep me.

You said you would give it back.

- Yes. - Okay.

- You really don't believe me? - I just have a fear.

You're a master strategist. I just have...

Then play the idol tonight.

Waste it for the merge for us?

If you don't believe me, then play the idol.

- I'm not doing... - So...

I am not voting you out. I am not voting you out.

Okay, so you're not gonna give me back the advantage?

I feel like this is a weird conversation

'cause this is literally what I told you to tell JD.

I know. That's what...

You don't think I feel stupid having this conversation

with you, knowing that this is what...?

It doesn't seem you're feeling stupid

-'cause you're still doing it. - I do feel stupid, but I want...

I still want the advantage back 'cause I don't want...

- So you'll have two advantages. - Yes.

You'll have the credit for all the advantages.

You'll get the choice between the two of us,

'cause she's going to write down my name.

How do I know you're not gonna blindside me?

'Cause I'm not.

So are you saying you're not giving it back to me?

Is that what you're telling me?

- Are you threatening to vote me out if I don't? - No, I'm not.

- Did I say that? I did not say that. - Well, I don't...

- Well, I'm just trying to... - I did not say that.

I just don't want to do this back-and-forth.

You said you'd give it back to me.

If you're saying you're not going to, then...

I am going to give it back to you tomorrow.

- I-I just got to trust you. - Yes, you have to.

I... It's Survivor. You can't be upset or be tripping with me

- just because I'm... I'm not... - I'm not upset at all.

Ricard and I

work very well together,

but that moment he refused to give back something

that rightfully belonged to me was a hard moment for us.

And I could easily vote his behind out.

I believe that I can fully trust Genie

because Genie is an extremely honest person,

and I-I love that about her, but

in this game, it's just that that's a liability.

I have to make choices for my own game,

so it does come down to, do I bring the strategist,

or do I bring the loyalist?

All right.

So, Genie, you lose the challenge today,

and you have to go back to camp, but Shan doesn't go with you.

This is a perfect Survivor storm because

there's two of you, she's gone,

you two can talk. What happened

between you and Ricard?

Oh, yeah, absolutely. I mean, of course

I'm gonna do my best to pitch to Ricard,

you know, why he should keep me. And it's hard, because

these two have been a good pair since the beginning,

and they are still tight, but you have to think,

who do you want to go into the merge with?

Do you want to go into the merge with somebody else

that's, like, you know, you know,

honest and-and can completely be loyal to you,

or do you want to take somebody

to the merge who can make friends

with every single person, and maybe

they don't need you anymore after a couple of days?

And, Ricard, while Shan's away,

this is a game. You would be a fool

- to not listen to her pitch. I mean, I feel like

I come up with phenomenal strategy

on how to get people out,

on figuring out the blindsides, on giving advice

on how to do something properly. She's like the closer.

She figures out how to do it. She does the talking.

She's such an honest human being,

she's gonna tell me if she's gonna vote for me, except today.

I'm trying to figure out who's more beneficial

for me-- the honest person,

or the one that closes what I have come up with?

It-It's really difficult to figure out.

So, Shan, what are you thinking,

while you're doing whatever you're doing,

about what they're doing back at camp?

Yeah, I'm definitely...

Like, when they select me to go onto the journey,

I was like, "Oh, shoot." Like,

you don't want to be absent because

anything could happen when you're not around.

So I just said to both of them

when I got back, "I-I want to pitch to you why I think,

"Genie, you should vote with me, and I want to pitch to Ricard

why I feel like, Ricard, you should vote with me."

And you know, we-we all took turns at doing that.

Genie, what's interesting about that is

that Shan is saying to both of you,

"I'm going to both pitch you,

then I'm going to pitch you against the other person."

That... Exactly. Shan's the master at that.

You know, I think she's in the power position.

Well, I-I mean, they also could be blindsiding me.

Like, they spent so much time together this afternoon.

Like, it... I'm sure

Ricard pitched really good reasons for why,

and Genie pitched really good reasons for why, and, like,

I don't know. I don't know that I'm completely

in the driver's seat tonight.

Tribal is a really good indication

of how trustworthy another person can be.

And I'll say at least to you,

we have been together every single vote.

And, Shan, right now, you don't know

if that's genuine or a well-rehearsed script

that they both said, "Let's play this thing. We have a history.

It's not going to work for us."

- You just don't know.

Yeah, Season 41--

like, you got to be looking and reading

and watching, and you can't... you can't rest for a minute.

You're always thinking. There's no pause

in this... in this game, and...

And so, I'm listening to them, and I'm like,

"Mm, I don't know."

Ricard, tonight's vote is unique in that,

historically, there is no invoice.

If the person's not in the jury,

they don't have a say in the end.

So whoever goes home tonight,

unless the jury starts tonight, they're of no consequence.

- There's no blood. There is consequence

because the two people that are left standing

are clearly experienced enough already in this game

that they were able to navigate

getting rid of their entire tribe.

The reality is, everybody else

that's been playing this game-- they are not at our caliber yet

because they haven't had this experience.

They don't even know who to trust,

they don't know who's going to lie to them,

and they don't know what to expect, and so,

whoever it leaves here is going to be a massive target,

because everyone's going to vote for us.

So where are we at? I mean, we can vote anytime.

What's the...?

What's the blood pressure right now?

- Oh. - Where you at, Ricard? You calm?

What's happening inside?

I'm typically really calm, but my heart is racing.

And all three of us are genuinely concerned and scared,

which means we're all doing a really good job.

Shan, what are the chances that either a Shot in the Dark

or some kind of advantage comes into play tonight?

You know, the Shot in the Dark

is this Hail Mary kind of pass, right?

And you just really want to save that

for a moment when you're absolutely...

You know, you know you're at the bottom, and there's just...

there's no way out of this thing,

and-and you've got nothing left,

you've got no other cards to pull out.

And that might be how some of us are feeling tonight.

But I also think that the power of the vote tonight is probably

more important than maybe taking a Shot in the Dark

because advantages-- they come, and they go, but the trust

is what carries you, ultimately, to the end.

And so, that's what this vote is about, for me, tonight is

the individual that I can trust going with to the end.

All right, it is time to vote. Ricard, you're up.

I'll go tally the votes.

If anybody has an advantage or hidden immunity idol

and they want to play it, now would be the time to do so.

Okay, I'll read the votes.

First vote-- Genie.

Ricard. We're tied. One vote-- Genie,

one vote-- Ricard, one vote left.

Sixth person voted out of Survivor 41...

Genie.

Want to bring me your torch?

Hey, seriously, good luck, you guys.

- We love you. - We love you, Genie.

Genie, the tribe has spoken.

Time for you to go.

Bye, guys.

Wow.

Grab your torches, head back to camp.

Good night.

- Everybody drop your Buffs.

- You are... Merged!

- Ah... not exactly.

Damn it. There has never been anything

-like this. - Oh, my God.

It kind of busts your possibilities wide open.

I had a feeling that this was going to happen, and I...

I almost played my Shot in the Dark.

But I feel like I did play a pretty honest game,

and I should have listened to my instinct

instead of trusting other people. Man.

I actually kind of hope it rains on them tonight,

'cause I know nobody's gonna tend that fire.
