Liana, I'm sorry.

Let me know when you
want to chop it up.

- I hope you'll understand.
- All right, let's go.

At Tribal Council, I was blindsided.

We had this plan for Shan, me,

Danny and Deshawn
for final four.

But that exploded
in my face tonight.

How is it that we talked
about final four,

this trust, trust,
trust, trust, trust,

and I'm completely left
out of the vote tonight?

- So...
- Somebody explain that to me.

- That's all I'm interested in.
- The thing is...the thing is...

...it wasn't our plan.

- Whose plan was it?
- This is Ricard's plan.

We were in the minority.

They all turned on us.

- And we kind of...
- How did they all turn on us?

- They were going to vote...
- Yo.

We cannibalized ourselves,
y'all by doing this!

- Now look at what's over there.
- But...

Did we just move from the bottom...

to absolutely the top?

After all this fighting
and kicking and crawling

to try and get out of the bottom,

I actually pulled off a move.

I was a part of the plan.

I took out Shan with Ricard,
and I'm left with an alliance?

What is this?

And furthermore, ___ Xander
still has the ___ idol.

- I agree.
- All for this?

- I agree.
- That's ___ stupid.

Are we really sticking together?

- Yeah.
- Yeah.

Whatever twist comes...

we still have an extra vote and an idol.

It's true.

I'll do whatever because...

this four is the four
I want to be in.

I agree.

I'm just letting y'all know,
it's gonna get real.

She's having a rough night.

There's nothing like that sting of
realizing you're on the bottom...

and coming back to the shelter
and just going to sleep.

Oh my gosh, Xander's, like...

This is a first for me.

- I know.
- This is kind of nice.

All of a sudden, I'm in charge

with a group of people
that I actually trust

and that I can work with,
and we're saying final four?

Oh, my God, this is
too good to be true.

Well, I don't think she meant that
she was trying to leave us.

She was just saying it's gonna get crazy...

with people coming against us, which is fine.

And I hear her.
I would be pissed, too.

My question to you now is:

why is it that every
time I do something,

it's on the front page
of the freaking newspaper,

and I did not come up
with the idea?

We blindsided Shan, which is
something that I was fully

on board with after she had
thrown my name out.

But before she leaves,
she drops a little bomb

on the group, and she
says that I'm a snake.

Ricard, you have my vote
for a million dollars.

Deshawn, you're a snake.

So I was kind of pissed
at Ricard because it's like,

you were even
more close with Shan.

You were her number one ally.

And you backstabbed her as well,

but she didn't
call you a snake.

She said: "Ricard, you get
a million dollars."

"Even though you were my ally
and you orchestrated this,

but, Deshawn, you voted
that way and you're a snake."

Like: huh?

From where I'm standing, Shan and I

we knew we were
gunning for each other.

Like, we had such
a honest relationship

and conversation about that.

And I think the fact
that there was the plan

to get me out today,
I think she knows

that is what rushed
me to get rid of her.

Because clearly, everybody
wanted us separate,

so it had to happen.

Like, that's the only way
for me to save my game.

Because if I did not
win immunity today,

- I would be gone.
- Yeah.

As Shan left after
being voted out,

knowing that I planned it,

you know, participated in it,
she must know.

She said I have her vote
for a million dollars,

and she called Deshawn a snake.

And so, he's taking a lot of
heat off of me, which is great.

And it's like I'm fighting
every day for my life

for things that I am
not doing in this game,

and it's freaking
irritating, dude.

Like, I voted out Shan
because she told me

that she was gunning for me.
That's it.

- Which is true.
- Now I'm the snake, yeah.

So it's, like, congrats on
having that million-dollar vote.

Congrats on, like,
making the big move.

You're the top dog right now,
but at the end of the day,

I'm a snake, so now I got
to deal with being a snake.

Deshawn's game is confusing to me.

He's very emotional
and blames a lot of people.

And so, in his eyes,
Shan's at fault

for calling him a snake
and ruining his game.

He can't take ownership of the fact

that he's all over the place,

can't commit to any one person,

and doesn't really know
what direction to go

to have a good game.

Your energy right now at camp...

it's coming off very, very
paranoid, and I think the...

I really think the thing that
can help you is to chill out.

If it sounded like I was,
like, coming at you

or ranting at you, I actually
was not angry at you.

I was trying to process, like,
why did she only call me a snake

when there was, like,
two other people

who also wrote her name down
that she was really close with?

You know, it just
didn't make sense,

so I was just trying
to process it.

A lot of things
happening at once, but

but this is where I'm
at right now, so...

I thought that if I
came back to camp

and I basically exposed
Ricard for his move,

that the group would want
to take him out next.

The issue is, though,

that I guess I came off
a little bit accusatory,

and it just didn't
end up working out.

But thank you for that advice.
I'm, like...

I'm Zen, I'm back to Zen Deshawn.
You know what I'm saying?

It's tough because if I
could go back and redo

after the last Tribal Council,

I would probably just
go back and shut up.

It sounded like a good plan,

but if I can change
the hands of time,

I would probably just
not say anything.

Go in the shelter
and go to sleep.

- I know last night was a mess.
- Yes.

But...

we cant still work.
And Liana...

...I would never
write your name down.

I haven't thus far,
and I never would.

- I appreciate that.
- If I can help you, just let me know.

People are gonna lie
to you in this game.

I know that 100%.

But it hurts most from the
people that you think you can trust.

I will not write Liana. I don't even...

Don't even tell me how to spell your name.

And Deshawn last night

it was kind of like I have
this beautiful picture

of me and Shan, and he
just smashed it over

and over and over
with a mallet.

And so, last night absolutely hurt.

Of course I want revenge.
Of course I want Deshawn out.

I mean, I agree with
what Shan said last night.

Like, that was a snake move.

If you're a snake,
then I'm gonna bite back,

and I hope you're gone tomorrow.

I'm absolutely open
to revenge right now.

Yum!

These last few days
have been kind of heavy.

Today marks 25 years to the
day of the passing of my father.

He died in a car accident
when I was eight years old.

It's a very hard day,
and I always try

to keep myself really,
really busy, and,

here, I don't know.
You just can't do it.

You can't hide from it.

Today's just a really,
really rough day for me.

So, if I seem off,

it really ain't nothing
about the game.

It's the 25th anniversary
of my dad passing.

It's just like...

I don't know.

My entire life, I think

I was angry at him.

You know, you want
your dad to be Superman.

You hear about other people
getting into accidents

and them surviving,
and you wonder why he didn't.

And then you're jealous
and mad every Father's Day,

every football game
where your dad's not there

that you see other kids
with their fathers and all this.

Every time I wanted to say...

I want to make my mom
proud or my family proud,

I was really leaving
him out of it.

I was really, really upset.

And being able to sit
still here has let me focus

and really understand
how I was thinking

and how I can change the way
that I think moving forward.

So today is more like,

trying to get rid of
the shame that I feel

for being angry for so long

for something that my
father couldn't control.

From now on,
I'm gonna make sure

I go visit his grave
as much as I should,

talk to my mom about him more,

and just try to let him know
that I apologize and I was wrong

and I'm a man now
and I understand that.

And I think, moving forward, my thoughts

and how I deal with
stuff back at home

will change greatly.

So I'm going to try to
move forward, being happy

and try to live the rest of
my life of making him proud.

It's day 21.
Seven players left in the game,

and today they're going to face
another very dangerous twist,

and it's going to force them
to make a big decision based

on where they think
they stand in the game,

because even choosing
to participate

in today's immunity
challenge comes

with potentially deadly risk.

Fun one to play along with.

Ask yourself:
what would you do?

Come on in!

Hi, Jeff.

Well, thanks for another
"good morning," Erika.

- Good morning.
- Wow, Heather, too.

All right, ready to get to
today's immunity challenge?

- Yeah.
- Let's do it.

First things first, Ricard,
got to take back the necklace.

Thank you.

Once again, immunity is
back up for grabs.

For today's challenge,
you're going to use handles

to balance a ball
on a wooden cylinder.

At regular intervals, we'll add
more sections of cylinder,

making it more
difficult to balance.

If at any point your ball drops,

you're out.

Last person left
standing wins immunity,

guaranteed a spot
in the final six.

There is a twist to
today's challenge.

And it's a dangerous one.

The first person to drop out of
this challenge will be forced

to participate in a new
game called Survivor: Do or Die.

Here's how it works.

Tonight at Tribal Council,
that person

and only that person
will participate

in a potentially
deadly game of chance.

If you survive, you're safe
and you're in the six,

and we vote somebody out.

If you die, you're gone
and there is no vote.

No one can save you,
no idol can save you,

nothing can save you.
You either live or you die.

So you have a very big
decision to make right now.

You don't have to participate
in this challenge.

That's your choice.

If you don't, obviously
you can't win immunity.

But if you participate
and you're first out,

you could be gone...
without a vote.

I'm gonna give you two rocks.

It's going to be a private
decision, take one rock each.

Gray means...

"I'm going to sit out."

"I think I'm good, and I don't
want to play Do or Die."

Red means:
"I can't risk it."

"I'm in trouble in this game,
and I have to participate."

All right, everybody,
take a look at your two rocks.

Make sure you know
where gray is, red is.

Gray says: "I'm sitting
out of this challenge."

Red says: "I'm competing."

You're gonna show me one rock,
and that is your decision.

Is everybody ready?

Palms out.

And everybody reveal.

All right, so we
have two gray rocks.

Heather is gonna sit out,
Liana's gonna sit out,

not risk Do or Die.

Erika, Ricard,
Deshawn, Xander and Danny

are going to participate.

One of those five
will be first out,

and you're the one playing Do
or Die tonight at Tribal Council.

Sit-outs take a
spot on the bench.

Everybody else, we'll draw
for spots and we'll get started.

Wow.

Here we go.

Everybody get ready for
the first stage of this game.

You have three
sections of cylinder,

your ball in the middle.

Deep breath, here we go.
I'm gonna count you in.

Five, four,

three, two, one.

And this challenge is on.

Everybody looks very good.

We'll go in this
section for five minutes.

And just like that, Deshawn
is out, seconds into this.

And Deshawn will be playing
Do or Die tonight,

where a game of chance
will determine

whether he lives
to see another day

or whether final seven
is as far as he goes.

Wow, that drama was over quick.

Not even three seconds.

And it's now Erika, Xander,
Ricard and Danny.

You go five minutes here,
and then we will add two more

sections of cylinder.

All right, you can set it down.
You survived this round.

We add two more sections.

All right, I'm gonna count you in.

Five, four,

three, two, one.

Everybody is up, and
everybody looking good.

Challenge is back on.

Five minutes in this round, as well.

15 seconds left in this round.

Five, four, three...

Erika drops, she's out.
One.

Everybody else is safe.

Xander, Ricard
and Danny are safe.

Good luck, guys.

Danny started to
wobble but made it.

Erika wobbled and did not.

Erika is now out,
no shot at immunity.

We'll move into this final section

with only three players left:

Xander, Ricard and Danny.
Here we go.

The last two sections
have been added.

I'm gonna count you in.

Five, four, three,

two,

one.

Everybody is up cleanly.
Very nice job.

And we got a challenge right now.

We go until we have a winner.

You're going to have
to really dig here

because this is going to go
until two people drop.

There is no relief.

There are no more
sections to add.

This is it.

We just go.

Been in this round six minutes,
longer than any other round,

and it's the most
difficult of any round.

An impressive showing
Xander, Ricard and Danny.

And here comes some wind.

Usually we love
the wind out here

in Fiji 'cause it feels nice.

But anything that moves
that ball even a little...

is an enemy.

Different strategies.

People changing grips.

You're all three
looking really good.

Whatever strategy you are
doing, it is working for you,

so keep doing it.

Question is:
how long can you do this?

Hang in there, do not lapse.
Don't start to drift.

Ricard drops, Xander drops
at the same time.

Danny wins his first
individual immunity,

safe tonight at Tribal Council,

guaranteed a spot
in the final six.

Clearly a huge moment for Danny.

Wow.
What a finish.

Two drops within a half
a second of each other.

- Wow.
- Danny, come on over.

Yeah, Coach Danny.

First individual immunity win,

guarantees you a spot
in the final six.

You will not be voted out
tonight no matter what happens.

Well done, congratulations.
Take your spot back over there.

- Good job.
- Congrats, Danny.

Thank you.
I appreciate it, appreciate it.

All right, so, tonight,

if Deshawn lives,
then we have a normal vote

and somebody goes home.

If Deshawn dies, then he's out

and there is no vote,
which means

you have to prepare
for Tribal Council

as though there might be a
vote because there could be.

Grab your stuff, head back to
camp, see you tonight at Tribal.

- Thanks, Jeff.
- Thanks, Jeff.

Congrats, seriously.

The person that was likely
going to be going home today,

Deshawn, he'll be participating
in the Do or Die twist.

He either will go
home with no votes

or he will be safe
and cannot be voted on

by any of us who want
to send him home.

And I hope it's
"die" for Deshawn.

- Challenge beast.
- Good job.

- Good job.
- Congrats, Danny.

- That was good.
- You earned it.

Are you...
you kind of excited?

You're the first person
ever in Survivor history

to do this Do or Die.

- Yeah, spin the wheel.
- Yeah, honestly...

when it first happened,
I was so mad.

But as the more
I thought about it, like...

- I'm content with this.
- Yeah.

I feel like I could be safe,
but then also,

if I go out, y'all can never
say y'all voted me out.

Hey, it is what it is, man.

Damn, this could be my
last day on the island.

I went out of the
challenge first, and now

I have to play
the Do or Die twist.

Where either I'm gonna win
immunity or I'm going home.

But I'm trying to keep positive
because after voting out Shan,

I had a huge
target on my back.

So this way, at least
I have a fighting chance.

You just said yesterday we gotta step it up...

and you go out in thirty seconds?

But it ended up working out, though, bro.

- Way to go, brother, like, come on, bro.
- Listen, and this is no lie.

I had let go of a whole bunch
of stuff yesterday...

and I literally just started saying:

- "I want to make my dad proud."
- Yeah.

- I'm gonna make him proud.
- Come on.

And that's why I cried
at the end, I swear to God.

- That's a major accomplishment, bro.
- Yeah, it is.

Individual immunity against the
two dudes who is winning 'em.

Bro, that's major.

I didn't think that it would
bring me this much joy

to win an individual immunity,
but being out here

on Survivor has made me
realize some of those

negative emotions that I had
around my father passing

and not being here to
take care of the family.

And this experience
helped me to let it go.

And I'm really grateful
for that, but now

we got Tribal Council coming up.

And if Deshawn wins
the Do or Die,

we'll be voting somebody out.

Listen.

If you are safe...

we need to pull whatever
we can to get rid of Ricard.

- Yeah, he's got to go.
- Yeah.

'Cause if you keep him,
he's gonna beat you

in the next competit...
Like, come on.

I got to... I got to talk to...
I'm gonna talk to Xander.

All right.

It's about to get crazy.

I don't know how you
feel about it, but...

but the smart move is Ricard.

Do you feel like you
could do it today?

So, you're saying Ricard now.

Do you believe that he's
the biggest threat?

- Yeah, Ricard? Are you kidding me?
- Okay.

- He's the only one who's made a move.
- Yeah, that's what I'm saying.

Like, a successful move.

And he's won two immunities...

one reward...

-...and he's super likable.
- Yeah.

Deshawn was the number one target,

and now that he's possibly immune,

everybody's preparing
their backup plans.

Danny for sure wants
to vote out Ricard.

But Ricard's one of my own,
so I don't want to see him go,

because once Ricard's gone, I'm
the number one target around.

I'm the one that
people are talking about

as the guy who has a résumé

and the guy who's
good at challenges.

So they're going to get
me out if I get Ricard out.

I mean, like, what's the
alternative? Liana?

Yeah, which I don't
think makes sense.

What has she done?

And you might not get another chance
to get Ricard out of the game.

It's true.

But, we're gonna look like
the biggest idiots...

if he makes it to the end of
the game and beats us.

It's true.

This is our resume.

Yeah, it would be a big move.

I'm acting as if I'm
going along with it, but

I trust Ricard way more
than I trust Liana.

I mean, Liana's lied to my face

more times than I can count.

So if Deshawn wins
the Do or Die,

my alliance of Ricard,
Erika and Heather

still has the majority.

And to break that up
would be a stupid move.

I wanted to see, like,
what you're thinking.

Yeah.

There's the plan where it's,
like, just vote out Liana.

And then there's
another plan that, like,

do we take the clear
shot at Ricard today?

Yeah.

I say we keep Ricard around because...

it keeps a target bigger
than you and me around.

I know. But, like...

...the only thing is,
he would beat all of us.

- He is really good at stuff.
- Yeah.

- He's, like, good at everything.
- Yeah.

It's a tough choice.
Like, with Liana,

it makes sense to get
rid of her because

she's someone who voted
for me the last Tribal Council

and who really doesn't have,
like, any allegiance to me

and will likely be sneaky.

But the problem
with keeping Ricard

is, he's by far the biggest
threat to win the game.

Really love him
and I really trust him.

It's just, like,
I'm scared that, like,

we won't get a chance again.
Like, I don't know.

- I know.
- I'm like...

so all over the place and so unsure.

As much as I know I can
trust him, if I don't

take the shot now, Ricard
could run away with the game,

and I have no chance.

So my head is spinning
a little bit on this one.

Which way do you think
they're actually going?

Danny and Deshawn...

they're going for you.

Your name's out there big-time.

I mean, you and I
are not going home

as long as Erika and
Heather stick with us.

Like, we're good.

- Okay, perfect, perfect, perfect.
- Yeah.

I really hope we can trust
Heather and Erika.

Heather 100%.

- Erika...
- Erika's shady.

Erika's getting a little squirmish.

So many voices that
are in her head

that she doesn't know if
it's going to cost her game.

Damn, Erika.

If Deshawn is safe tonight,

Danny, Deshawn and Liana
will be voting for me.

But it shouldn't really matter

because I have a
four-person alliance.

But Erika,

she's really, like,
unsure of what to do.

- I'm gonna keep this real brief.
- Okay.

Don't matter what you hear.

I 1,000% would never
write your name down.

If I'm safe tonight,
it's not gonna happen.

Thank you.

- And what does D...
- He's... he...

- Danny?
- Who does he want?

He wants Ricard.
Everybody... everybody

with a brain between
their ears wants Ricard.

Thank you.

And I'm wishing you all the
best, thousand percent.

Thank you, thank you.

I am worried tonight
because with both Danny

and possibly Deshawn
being safe tonight,

I'm kind of like an easy vote.

So my only, really, life in
this game right now is hoping

that people realize Ricard
is a much bigger threat.

If not, I might have to
play the Shot in the Dark,

but then I lose my vote.

How are you feeling about tonight?

Scared ___,

honestly.

Somehow I'm the swing vote,

and it's one of those moves where

you're watching at home,
and you think,

"Oh, my God, it's so obvious.

You have to take the big
threat out of the game."

But, like, when you're in the
game, you see how important it is

to have people you can trust.

I'm sorry, Deshawn.

That's okay.
Don't be sorry.

He's gonna make history today.

- Either way.
- Either way?

Either way.

I'm rolling the dice
just like Deshawn is,

and whatever decision I
make, I just have to own it.

All right, let's start with
today's immunity challenge.

Danny wins the necklace
for the first time.

You are safe tonight.
Today's challenge also came

with a twist that if
you were first out,

your fate would be determined
by a game of chance

in a new game called
Survivor: Do or Die.

Deshawn, you were first out,
and in a few minutes

we're going to play Do or Die,
and that will determine

whether or not you live or die
and whether or not we have a vote.

So before we get to that, Liana,

today's twist was all
about relationships.

If you didn't think you needed
immunity, you could sit out.

Yeah, Jeff, I do not
feel comfortable

in my relationships, and I don't
want to give that impression at all.

The fact of the matter was,
in terms of Liana statistics

in individual immunity
challenges hasn't been so hot.

So that means in no way
that I'm comfortable tonight.

That was my argument,
as well, is the people

that I have outlasted in the
challenges were already gone.

And then, so it didn't
make sense for me

to stay there and risk that.

especially not knowing
what I'm risking.

And so, Xander, there's
always uncertainty,

but tonight there
truly is uncertainty.

We might not even
vote somebody out.

Deshawn might be
in the final six,

and we do vote somebody out.
We don't know.

I mean, you want to
believe that every Tribal

is determined simply by relationships.

But it's not only relationships

that you're worrying
about now, but about

this advantage
and this twist, and

I like that this season

kind of throws out all the
expectations we have of Survivor.

You know, now it's
high-risk, high-reward,

so you really have to
gamble a little bit.

Danny, how'd it feel for you

having certainty
with that necklace?

It felt pretty good, but,

Deshawn's my friend here.

The fact that he has no
idea what's gonna happen

with him tonight
is kind of crazy.

We were trying
to figure out a plan,

and not really sure we're
gonna execute the plan.

But I'm more of the "put
your name on it," right?

If you're gonna put your plan
out there, go ahead and say that

you said it, and that's
what you wanted to do,

and you have
to face the consequences

if it doesn't work out.

Erika, there's also
another factor tonight.

It's the last night you can
take your Shot in the Dark.

One-in-six shot at safety.

Yeah, I don't know what the
odds are for the Do or Die,

but if Deshawn, like, doesn't die...

But I... I don't want you
to, like, die, right?

And someone plays
the Shot in the Dark,

and someone else gets knocked
out, like, there's no certainty

for what's going to happen tonight.

How's that feel?

Oh, it sucks.

Jeff, I have a love-hate
with this game.

Some days I love it,
some days I hate it.

Today I hate it.

That is a great answer to hear

because if the game
isn't doing that to you,

then it's not pushing you.

If this is the adventure of a lifetime,

then you have to have that
low to have that high.

You have to have the
anger to feel the joy.

It's part of it.

So, Deshawn, was it
different for you because

you're the one that's going
to have to play Do or Die,

but you're still the one
hoping there is a vote,

and you want it to go your way.

Yeah, Jeff so if I can back
it up just a little bit

to my decision to actually play.

After the Last Tribal
when Shan went home,

there was a bit of a discussion
between Ricard and I

just because, in this game,
morals and gameplay intersect,

and I felt very passionate
about the Shan vote

for a lot of different reasons,
and so I just wanted the truth.

And I think me confronting
Ricard made it seem like

I was some aggressive
guy that I'm not.

And I think that could
have put me in trouble.

So that's why I went
ahead and played.

Ricard, you obviously know

what Deshawn is referring to.
Do you want to elaborate?

Yeah, so...

there was a lot of talk

that I was the one who was
going to be voted out last time.

I was told by Shan

that the plan was
Deshawn's, and so

we were going to try and flip
the vote and get Deshawn out.

And just to confirm, you said

that Shan told you that,
to vote me out, right?

She was the one that
came up with that plan?

Yes.

And so our conversation
was him not fully knowing

if I was creating a
lie to divide them,

which I was not.

- Okay.
- And I stand by that.

I believe you.

And, Deshawn, for you,
why is it important?

When you talk
about your integrity,

what are you worried
about your integrity?

It's hard, Jeff.
It's hard to put it into words.

I'm so passionate about this game.

I'm passionate about the decision

that we had to make
at the last Tribal,

and I don't know what's
gonna happen to me.

But it's not even about that.

You know, a lot of minority
players put in a lot of work

to diversify this cast.

And when I came into it,
I wanted to make sure

that I represented,
like, the Black community

as well as possible, and so...

And so it just hurt...

to even have to write
her name down 'cause

that really is my sister, but, like,

the gameplay and morals
intersected, and it was so hard.

You're all right, bro.

And it's hard, bro.
Like, it's really hard.

'Cause this is a game that I love,

and I came here to play it.

But people don't understand
the extra baggage

that you bring into this game.

And it's a blessing to
have such a diverse cast,

but, like, I didn't think
this decision, this moment...

voting her out,
would be this hard.

So it's really tough.

I was just playing the game with
the information that I was given,

and I had to make
that hard decision,

and it was the toughest
thing I've ever had to do.

So here I am.

Liana, do you feel that as well,

that you and Deshawn
and Shan and Danny

have this other thing

that really doesn't have
anything to do with the gameplay,

but it has to do with
where we are in the culture?

Absolutely.

Everywhere I go as a Black woman,

I'm a Black woman first.

It doesn't matter that
I'm a student at Georgetown.

It doesn't matter that I have this
amazing internship next summer.

When people look at me,
they see a Black woman,

and I take that with
me wherever I go.

And there is no question that
we're coming out of a year,

like 2020, where people are
just now becoming conscious

of the fact that being Black
actually means something.

It has this kind of
currency that can kill you,

literally kill you.

And doesn't mean that Black
death is like this new thing.

Like, Emmett Till happened
so many years ago,

and nobody really, like,
seemed to care then.

And now it's become
this thing, right?

And so, coming here
to play this is about

about uplifting other Black
people and giving Black people

something to root for
besides everything else

that's out there
that's killing us.

And then, not only that.

How beautiful is it that
we're starting out with a cast

with 50% POC, right?

There's another Black woman
right there that looks like me

who's also playing
this game with me.

Another piece of that
is that the fan base

that is watching this, for them
to meet a Liana or a Shan

or a Danny or a
Deshawn, like, they get

to understand that Blackness
is not, you know, this monolith,

this one thing.
Like, we're all types of Black.

We're Black in different ways.

And to Deshawn's point, it's, like,

we love this game, too.
We don't just want to have

this all-Black alliance and
throw strategy out the window.

Like, we want to play.
We want to, you know, like,

let's get Shan out because
she is a huge threat.

Like, we want to
do both, but how

do we do it at the same time?

And of course that's a factor

when we're playing this game.

Like, I'm Black wherever I go.
That's just it.

Danny, it's a huge responsibility

inside a game that is
already impossible to play.

How are you managing with it?

Yeah, I mean, it's a little
tough. I mean, like,

Liana said it perfectly,
and I understand Deshawn

and how he feels
about it because

coming into the game,
it wasn't about

taking this, and all Black
people get to the end.

It was more about showing those
connections and that diversity.

And hopefully,
when people see that,

they'll be able to talk to each
other the same way that we are.

So, I just want to tell you that

I really appreciate
the explanation.

I think Shan and
you will be able

to have a very in-depth conversation,

and maybe we all will,

and we can show
that we'll be able

to kind of come to understanding,

and move forward
from this, as well,

and I hope that's
what happens from this.

Xander, what's the emotion?

I mean, I'm out here
playing a game, and then

you take it out, and you
make it this real-world thing,

and it's so powerful.

I mean, I don't represent a people.

I don't carry that
burden with me.

I don't think about
those kinds of things

because I have the privilege

of not having to
think about that.

So I have so much respect
for the people out here

who are representing people
and trying to show

that there are positive ways to
be represented in the culture.

And that's powerful.
That goes beyond this game.

Jeff.

I just want to
say I think that's

really important because the
main thing in the outside world

is to show that we have allies.

We have people that care about

what's happening to us,
how we feel,

and the justice
that we want, and,

Xander, you're a part of that.

Like, I really respect you as a man.

Same thing with everybody
else sitting up here,

and I really feel like,
back in the real world

when all this is over,

if we call on this cast to be
allies for any type of cause,

I feel like we have a good
group to help push that.

Heather, what's your
perspective on what's happening

right here as a
reflection of our culture?

We're growing, we're learning.

I had no idea that this was
a conflict that was going on,

and it breaks my heart to know

that you are
carrying this with you,

and it's something
I don't understand.

I'm grateful that you
shared this because

it just shows me
I have a lot more...

to learn and more
questions to ask.

Um...

I'm sorry.

It's fine, thank you for
your words, I appreciate it.

We're all learning.
We're all growing.

Thank you, Heather.

And can I also
just add something?

I think, also, you know,
something hard perhaps

for viewers back home is,
like, you know:

"I just want to watch Survivor.
Like, why is this...

you know, all this, like,
kind of real-life elements

kind of have to
jump into the game

when it's suddenly super diverse?"

To those people, I understand,
but, you know, it just means that

we're human beings, and the game
is a little bit more complex,

and we're a microcosm
of the real world, too.

So, I'm sorry if some
people feel that way from,

you know, this kind
of moment, but

that's... I think that's
important to note, too.

Well, I would just offer, I'm sure

lots of people watch Survivor
for lots of different reasons.

To me, it's about this.

What happens when you
put a group of people

and force them to
live together in a jungle,

a real jungle,
and rely on each other?

It's amazing, and there's
no doubt in my mind

this is a special group

for all the reasons
you're talking about.

It's beautiful of you to share
it, and I think it's going to be

powerful for a lot
of people to hear it.

Thank you, guys.
Everybody.

- Thank you guys for the support.
- Thank you.

All right.

No, don't do it.

Let's just talk some more, Jeff.

Before we get to the vote,

we have to see if
there is a vote.

It's the looming suspense
of Survivor: Do or Die.

Let me get it set up.

Lord, have mercy.
I'm sweating.

Oh, my God.
I'm sweating.

Jeff.

All right, Deshawn.
Come on up.

All right.

So let me lay it out
for you, okay?

- We have three Do or Die boxes.
- Yes.

Inside one of these
boxes is a fire symbol.

That represents life.

That means you are safe,

guaranteed a spot
in the final six,

- and we vote somebody out.
- Okay.

Inside two of these
boxes is a skull symbol.

That represents death in the game.

- Okay.
- And that means you are gone,

- and there is no vote.
- Okay.

Thirty-three percent.

- Three boxes.
- Yes, sir.

Deshawn, choose one box.

Jeff, my heart is telling
me to choose this box,

- so I'm gonna choose this box.
- All right, this is yours.

Okay.

All right, before we open your box,

I'm gonna open...

- What?
- ...one of these.

Okay, okay.

A skull.

So there is now one
skull and one flame.

Do you want to keep
the box you have?

- Or...
- What the heck?

...do you want to
trade for this box?

Monty Hall problem.

Jeff, I have to go with my gut.

Something was telling me this box,
so I'm gonna keep this box.

- For better or for worse.
- All right.

If it is flame,
you're in the final six,

and we immediately go
into the vote.

If it is a skull, you're
gone and your game ends.

Let's reveal your box.

Oh, my God!

Deshawn got flame.

- You are safe, my friend.
- Oh, my God.

No way.

- Oh, my God.
- Oh, my gosh.

Oh, my God.

Welcome back.

Welcome back.

Had you traded, Deshawn,
you would have gotten the skull.

- Wow.
- Go with your gut.

Oh, my gosh.

Wow.

And now, despite the celebration,

we are back into the game again.

It is time to vote.
Ricard, you're up.

Who do you think they're voting?

This sucks.
Oh, God.

I'll go tally the votes.

All right, if anybody has
an advantage or an idol,

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

Okay, I'll read the votes.

First vote...

Ricard.

Liana.

Ricard.
Two votes Ricard.

Liana, tied again,
two votes each.

Ricard.

That's three votes Ricard,
two votes Liana.

Liana, we're tied again
at three votes each.

That's four votes Liana,
three votes Ricard, one vote left.

12th person voted out and
fifth member of our jury:

Liana, you need to
bring me your torch.

Good game, guys.

- Good job, Liana.
- Good job, Liana.

Good job, Li.

I really liked playing with all of you.

Liana, the tribe has spoken.

Thank you.
Bye, y'all.

- Play hard.
- Bye, Li.

Bye, Liana.

Grab your torches,
head back to camp, good night.

Stay tuned from scenes from our next episode.

Me and Deshawn are on the bottom.

If there is an idol on
this island, I hope I find it.

There was just something
about his vibe that shifted.

That scares me.

We want to keep you.

New plans are put on the table.

You and Erika that would
be a good final three.

We'll see who comes out on top.

All I can do is fight.

It was really cool to be
a part of that Tribal.

I'm just so happy to have been
a part of this season, and

just, like, so blessed to have
been able to play this game.

This was just the best
experience of my life,

and I've learned so
much about myself.

I didn't want to have
any regrets walking out,

and I feel like I played
as hard as I could.

So I'm happy with that.

I'm ready to eat!
