Broaden your attention to...

your surroundings

and slowly...

start to focus on the breath

and just really tune into that breath.

Last night,

Claire was voted out.

Claire, the tribe has spoken.

So I'm feeling great because I feel like I am

close with Matt and Frannie.

As we start to wrap up here...

I'm also close with Danny and Heidi.

...take one last big cleansing breath in.

So now I'm in the perfect position

where I'm in the middle between

two different, opposing alliances

that both trust me, and that makes me feel good.

Yeah.

Are you comfortable voting Josh?

- No, that's what we're doing. - That's the plan.

That's the plan. Okay.

I think Josh seems to think

he's playing everyone,

but all four of us are united at the moment.

We are trying to blindside Josh now,

and I don't think he sees it coming.

What?

What?

This morning we walk by the birdcage

and see that there have been two red sticks kind of woven

into the birdcage with an "X."

Does that mean it's empty?

And we go like, "What? Is this still alive?"

Like, we were, like, giving up on the fact

that there was something in there,

but who put that "X" in there?

I think it's one of us.

Just, like, having fun?

So we all are thinking different things.

It could... it could be one of us who planted it,

but the truth is, it was me.

Why an "X"?

Like, that makes no sense for anything.

I found the idol, but inside that bag,

there was also this fake idol.

So I knew I need to do something with it.

And my brain kept saying, like, "'X.'

"Like, 'X' marks the spot of a treasure.

Now go look for this similar 'X' somewhere else."

So yesterday I just found red sticks,

made two Xs,

and then I waited for it to get dark.

And then I put one on the cage,

came back to camp, and I just stuffed the fake idol in a log

and put the other "X" right underneath it.

I'm worried that it looks so fake.

But part of me thinks it's not as

unbelievable because there are so many twists.

There are, like...

Why is a birdcage in the middle of a jungle?

"Look for the, like..."

So I-I don't feel like this is too far off left field

to have an "X."

That got everybody

paranoid again.

An "X." Where's the "X"?

What do you think?

I don't know 'cause I was looking at red stuff,

and there's nothing red around here.

But there may be something red at the challenge. I don't know.

We're all sitting around the campfire just thinking

what the "X" is,

where the "X" is, what the "X" might mean,

when suddenly

I spot these two matching red sticks

sitting underneath our bench log.

So I immediately start digging where I see the "X,"

just kind of, like, casually

wringing my hands through the sand,

and I'm feeling nothing.

You want me to open... y'all want me to open

- some coconut water for us? Okay. - Yeah, you open it.

And then I look down,

and in a little crevice there is

a piece of cloth wrapped up with a pretty purple bow.

And I grab it with my underwear

without anyone seeing.

I know I'm at the bottom, so finding this means

I have life in this game, I am moving forward,

and I know none of them have the idol,

and I will make it past tonight.

I don't know who took it, but all of a sudden,

I see the fake idol is gone.

So my plan worked.

Somebody has a fake idol,

and they don't know that it's a fake idol.

Come on in!

Oh, my gosh.

- Looks like a slingshot. - Mm-hmm.

Good times.

Whoa.

Tika, Ratu, getting your first look

at the new Soka tribe.

Claire voted out at the last Tribal Council.

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

For today's challenge,

one player at a time is going to climb up the ladder,

across the cargo net to the top of the tower

where you will launch the sandbags

at a series of targets.

Each player on your tribe must hit at least one target.

First two tribes to get all five targets win reward.

Want to know what you're playing for?

Yes.

Tarps.

First tribe to finish-- a large tarp.

Second tribe to finish-- smaller but just as effective.

In addition, at the end of this challenge,

one player from each tribe is going to go on a journey.

The winning tribe will decide who goes from each tribe.

That's important because journeys can change the game.

So having even a little power

in who you send to go on that journey is power worth having.

Ratu, Soka, you have one extra person. Gonna sit somebody out.

- Cool. - Who's it going to be?

- Me. - Frannie gonna sit it out.

- I'll sit out. - Kane going to sit out.

Sit-outs, take a spot on the bench.

Everybody else, give you a minute to strategize.

Get it on! Let's do it!

All right, here we go.

For reward. Survivors ready?

Go! First you got to get

- everybody to the mat. - Yeah, Soka!

- Then one person goes up. - Go, go!

Yeah, Danny! Attaboy! Okay, go!

Okay, go!

Carson, you got it.

Danny's up first, then Carson. Go, Brandon.

Here comes Brandon.

You got it, Danny. You got it.

You got it, Carson! Now you got

to start the learning curve

of a giant slingshot.

Brandon launches.

Just misses!

You got to untangle, buddy.

Got sandbags in the air.

There's a hit for green! Yeah! Yeah, Danny!

Danny hits for Soka, and he heads back down.

Oh, be careful, though.

Carson in here. There's a hit for Tika.

Carson's going to head down.

Go, go, go. Here comes Heidi.

Here goes Brandon again.

Will that do it? Yes, it does! Brandon connects.

We are tied one each.

Here goes Heidi with a big launch.

There it is for Heidi!

That's the second one for Soka.

Here comes Josh.

It is Lauren up top for Ratu.

Here goes Carolyn for Tika.

And that's not going to do it.

Ah! There goes Josh for Soka.

And he's got it.

Soka now with three.

- Go! - Here comes Matt.

Aah!

Carolyn continues to struggle.

Don't give up. Don't give up! - I'm not!

Lauren connects.

She's got it for Ratu!

Aah! Carolyn has got to connect.

Get somebody else up here. That will not do it.

He got it. - There goes Matt.

And he's got it for Soka!

That is four for Soka.

Everybody has gone for Soka.

Now they're going to send somebody back up.

Go! It's going to be Danny coming back up.

Yeah, Danny!

Aah! And another poor toss from Carolyn.

I like it. Danny launches.

Oh, yes!

Danny launches and wins it for Soka.

Soka's won reward. We're looking for one more.

Pull! Pull! Keep pulling!

- Aah! Aah! - Keep pulling! Keep pulling!

Carolyn trying to get maximum velocity.

And she's done it! Carolyn hits for Tika.

We are tied two-two.

Here goes Jaime.

That looks good. And it is. Jaime hits for Ratu.

It is Ratu with three, Tika with two.

Here goes Sarah. Sarah all the way off.

Nice, Sarah... Just misses.

Here comes Matthew.

Took his arm out of the sling,

but still holding it as if there's a sling there.

Will he be able to even pull it back?

Matthew, with his first shot,

hits it. That is four for Ratu,

two for Tika.

There goes Sarah, trying to keep Tika in it.

Nice! Sarah connects for Tika.

It's four-three.

She's got to get down quickly.

Tika trying to stay in this.

Here comes Yam Yam.

Brandon for Ratu. Is this the one?

Yes, it is!

Ratu wins reward.

All right, Soka, nice victory.

Large tarp waiting for you back at camp.

Ratu, nice victory.

Smaller tarp waiting for you back at camp.

Now to the other part of this reward.

Soka, you're in charge

of the three people that are going to go on a journey.

Heidi, who's it going to be from Soka that's going to go

- on this journey? - It's going to be Josh.

Who's going to go from Tika?

We decided to be Carson.

All right, who's going to go from Ratu

to join Josh and Carson?

We decided that we're going to send Jaime to the trek.

All right, Jaime,

Carson and Josh, grab your stuff,

head out this way. Boat's gonna pick you up.

We'll miss you. - Thank you.

All right, grab your stuff, head back to camp.

I'm so excited to get chosen.

I literally was sitting there like,

"Jaime, Jaime, Jaime, Jaime."

Bling! It happened. I have a magic wand.

And so, when I go, "Ding,"

things happen.

And I wanted to go on the journey

because this is a huge opportunity to get an advantage.

I am really, really pumped to go on the journey.

I want

the entire Survivor experience.

We're here, guys.

Yay! We made it!

I see that Josh and Carson are also chosen,

and I'm super excited because I kind of had my eyes on them

during challenges as people

that I could possibly work with in the future.

So, the fact that they were chosen was just

beautiful for me.

- You guys, we're here! - I know!

This is the coolest thing ever.

All right, let's see what's going on here.

- Ooh. - Yay. - Yay.

- You guys ready to do this? - Yes! Let's do it.

All right, here we go.

Being on this journey is kind of the pinnacle

of my Survivor experience.

So amazing.

I haven't really gotten to find

a idol or an advantage or a clue.

So, finally, I'm able to get something of value.

But I will not risk,

because when there's only four people left,

if I lose my vote, I lose a lot of leverage in my tribe.

Okay.

- See you at merge. - Do it.

- Okay. Bye. - Bye-bye.

What is this?

Ah!

"Congratulations. You have an immunity idol."

Immunity idol.

I'm just so happy.

This is amazing. Okay.

"Oh, one more thing.

You will not be returning..." What?!

"Oh, one more thing.

You will not be returning to your tribe."

Oh, my gosh.

Okay. Well, at least I have immunity.

Let's see what tribe I'm going to.

I'm going to have to switch tribes.

I was in a great position at Soka.

Now I'm going to a tribe that I have to start all over.

This has changed the game completely.

The game just changed.

Even though I'm going to a new tribe,

I have a second immunity idol.

Can you believe two idols coming into the game?

Who would have known? I can't wait

to see everyone's faces today.

I'm just kind of nervous.

This is so crazy.

I'm not on Tika, like, the tribe

that's been losing the whole time.

But then, also,

my emotions change from excitement

to anxiety because I'm gonna be at the bottom of a new tribe.

Oh, he's coming home.

Ooh! - Ah!

Carson!

Is that him?

That's Joshua.

What?!

When I see Josh, my heart sank.

Like, I had no breath in me. Like, I was like...

It means all this relationship I've been building

with Carson is no more.

Welcome to Tika!

- You're gonna love it here. - Hey.

I pull up to the Tika camp,

and they greet me with open arms,

but the truth is, I'm walking into

a lion's den, you know?

Like, I'm a lamb and they're all lions

and they're ready to pounce.

All right, so, we see this scroll.

It basically says, "You are now a part of a new tribe.

"Reach in..."

Oh!

So I unwrapped it, and it was your buff.

So here I am.

Wait. Are you a surgeon?

No. No, no, no, no. I am a physical trainer.

I'm not telling anybody that I am a surgeon.

I just want people to think

that, you know, I'm a happy-go-lucky,

uh, jock that likes to work out

and, you know, isn't really strategic

or "smart," as you will,

because that could blow up my game.

So, after college I wanted to go to med school, right?

But I couldn't really pass the MCAT,

so I moved away from Pittsburgh to Atlanta

in 2020, and, um, I got into personal training, well,

because I like working out.

We thought we'd heard at the snake puzzle

that Josh wanted to take on the puzzle because

he had to have steady hands with his job or something like that.

And so I immediately asked him, "Oh, are you a surgeon?"

And then he says that he's a physical trainer, which,

we're like, "How steady do your hands have to be for that?"

His timeline... Let's add this up.

Unless he graduated college late...

He's a year or younger than me.

I know, he's 34. So he said,

"Right after college, I took two years

"trying to get into med school.

"It didn't work.

That was in 2020."

That timeline is...

Yeah.

I love strong people, and I love strength, and I love everything.

I hate your lying to me.

Josh makes me very nervous.

So, if it comes down to voting him off,

I'm down with it.

Like, I would be the first one writing his name down.

- Carson's over here. - What?

- Why is it Carson? - Oh, my gosh. - Carson's here?

Young man!

I guess we have a story to hear from you.

- We haven't officially met. Brandon. - Brandon.

I'm taken back. I'm thinking, "Is he here

for a couple hours? Is this permanent?"

What is he going to tell us? Is he gonna tell us the truth?

And I go to, like,

this, like, platform, and it says, "Switch tribes."

I was like, "That's not really a congratulations."

Picking up a new buff

and realizing I'm gonna be on Ratu--

I'm kind of nervous.

So I really want to paint a perception

of Tika being led by Yam Yam and downplay

how strategic I am

so that they're going to see me

as a number that they can pull in.

When I saw that I was switching, I was actually

very excited because I was pretty sure I was next.

You know, Carolyn and Yam Yam-- I kind of saw them as a pair.

- Yeah. - We were thinking that Yam Yam was running the show.

Running the show over there.

Well, he kind of is. I think... I think so.

My heart sank when I found out

that Carson was going to be our new tribe member

because I had put so much

legwork into getting Jaime to my alliance.

Now I have to put in some groundwork

with Carson because information in this game

is power, and I am ready to load him up

on some powerful information.

I just wanted to, like, build some trust with you

- and give you some knowledge. - Yeah.

Like, Brandon played the idol on the first night,

and he already opened the birdcage.

- What? - Yeah.

That's crazy.

And after the idol was played, it goes back into rotation.

Yeah.

I think me and Carson

have the ability to have a good connection,

and so I planted a seed

by telling him that Jaime had a hidden immunity idol,

which is fake, but he doesn't know that.

So... you're...

I know, earlier, you shared that Jaime had an idol,

so I definitely trust you.

That information helped

build that bridge of trust with Carson,

and that is a very satisfying

and reassuring feeling to have because

I need personal numbers to go far in this game.

Oh, my God. What?!

- Oh, my God. It's Jaime. - Oh, Jaime's coming... - What?

This is a huge opportunity, coming over to Soka

and starting fresh.

I came, I saw, I conquered.

I did what I needed to do at Ratu,

and now my plan is to do it here.

Hi, family!

Well, welcome to our home!

I'm super nervous. I don't know what to expect.

But I have two idols, so coming into a new tribe,

that is a lot of power.

- So I am the new Josh. - New Josh.

I'm Jaime, but I am the new member

- of Soka tribe officially. - Wow. Cool. Welcome.

Okay. - Welcome.

Yes. So happy to be here.

My first impression of Jaime

is that she's really open and kind and friendly with everyone.

But the bad news is that the one person

that we really didn't trust is the person

who she swapped out with.

So that gives us an easy position

to just vote Jaime out right away.

The only thing that throws a real wrench is

if Jaime has a hidden immunity idol.

I don't know. - Can she prevent us from voting her out?

What if she found the idol and brought it here?

Danny, if you're...

- If that's your... If you're willing, I'll watch. - Sure.

I think that

if Jaime has nothing, and we can vote her out,

if we went to Tribal, it would be a clear-cut vote.

But the fact that Jaime might have something is a problem.

So I took the liberty of going through her bag

to see if there's anything there.

You certainly feel very low

going through a person's goods, but

we're on Survivor, and

the rules of normal,

ethical actions don't apply here,

at least not in my book.

And we're reading my book.

I gave it a fairly diligent search.

Like, I just bent everything. Well, definitely...

She definitely doesn't have an idol.

I'm not convinced that Jaime

doesn't have some sort of advantage.

And even if she does,

everyone is so committed to staying Soka strong

that Jaime has pretty much no shot

in the next few days.

Good morning.

Oh, Ratu coming strong with the sword.

Ah!

That is a battle cry.

Yes. You got the new Ratu tribe.

They're letting you know, "Here we are."

All right.

Shall we get to your first immunity challenge

as new tribes?

All right.

First things first. Got to take back

the sword, Lauren.

- Thank you. - Yes.

Once again, immunity is back up for grabs.

For today's challenge, you're going to dive

into the ocean, one person at a time,

climb to the top of a tall tower,

then leap off it while grabbing a key.

You'll then cross a floating balance beam

and race to the finish.

Then the next person goes.

Once all four players are at the end,

two players will use the keys to unlock your pieces

and solve a manta ray puzzle.

First two tribes to finish win immunity,

safe from Tribal Council.

Losers-- Tribal Council,

where somebody will be the fifth person voted out.

In addition, as a penalty for losing,

I will take your flint. Soka, you are

working to get yours back. All right, sit-outs.

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

Jaime's going to sit this one out.

Ratu, same thing. Who's going to sit out?

- I will. - Matthew's going to sit out.

All right, Jaime, Matthew, take a spot

on the sit-out benches. Everybody else,

we'll give you a minute to strategize. Let's get it on.

Let's do it!

All right, here we go. For immunity.

Survivors, ready?

Go!

It's Josh in the water for Tika.

Attaboy, Danny!

Danny for Soka. Yeah, you got it.

Brandon for Ratu.

Josh gets up that ladder quickly.

Now you got to leap. Josh has his!

Danny has one. Brandon has one.

Now comes the tricky part-- the balance beam.

Josh doesn't hesitate.

Danny's on it. Here goes Brandon.

Yeah, Brandon. You got this! Brandon's good!

Come on, Brandon!

Danny drops. You got to go back to the start, Danny.

Yeah, Josh! - Josh is good for Tika.

Brandon's back. You're good.

Go, Ratu!

Carson has a key! Yeah!

Thataway, Danny. Danny's across the balance beam.

Here comes Josh. You're good! Go!

Sarah going to go for a key.

Sarah's got one. Go, Sarah!

Carson across the balance beam.

Danny's back for Soka. You're good, Soka.

Here goes Matt. Yeah, Matt, you got it.

Matt jumps and has his key.

Yes, Matt!

Carson back. - All right, let's go.

Go, Ratu! Here goes Lauren. Let's go, Lauren!

Come on, Lauren! That's a big jump.

If you've never done it, it can be scary.

Come on! Come on!

Lauren taking time.

There she goes.

Oh! She misses it and does a big belly flop.

She is not going to go back, which means

somebody else will have to do the entire run.

Sarah's... Go! Tika, you're good.

Yam Yam jumps.

Yam Yam has the key.

Go, go, go, go, go. Here comes Matt for Soka.

You're good, Soka.

Here goes Heidi.

She's got a key.

Yes, Heidi!

There you go. Yes!

All right, you're good.

One of you two got to go. One of you two.

Brandon now has to swim back out

to get another key to recover for Lauren.

It is a big setback for Ratu.

Heidi's across the balance beam.

Here goes Yam Yam. You got it, Yam Yam!

Brandon's got a long swim now.

Heidi's back. You're good, Soka.

Here goes Frannie.

She's got a key easily.

Frannie!

Here goes Brandon, gathering his energy.

You got it, Brandon! Good job.

He's got the key.

Now he's got to swim it back.

Ratu is still in there.

- Aah! - Yes! - And Yam Yam drops.

- Hustle back! - Big setback for Tika.

That opens the door for Ratu. We are looking for two tribes.

Frannie made that beam look easy.

Yam Yam's got to start over.

It is Yam Yam and Brandon side by side.

Brandon has caught Yam Yam now. Good job, Brandon!

Good job. You're good, Soka.

Two people on the puzzle.

Yes. Brandon's across the beam.

It is now Tika dead last. Keep going, Yam Yam!

Yam Yam on that beam.

You got it, Yam Yam!

It is Heidi and Matt doing the puzzle for Soka,

with a big time advantage.

Brandon still working to get up. Exhausted.

Go, Ratu! Here goes Kane.

Kane has a key.

Carolyn waiting on Yam Yam to get to the end of the course.

Yam Yam, you're close.

Nice. You're almost there, buddy. Yes!

Yam Yam's across. You're good.

Nice belly flop. Yes!

Kane drops. He's got to go back.

You're good, Tika. Go, Carolyn.

Go, Carolyn!

Carolyn has her key. That's half of it.

Do it, Kane.

Kane trying it again. Punched.

Carolyn could catch Kane

and put Tika back in this

because Kane is going to drop again.

Go, Carolyn!

Heidi and Matt with a big time advantage for Soka.

Carolyn step by step.

Carolyn can put Tika back in the lead right here.

Carolyn has it easily.

And it is Tika back in the lead now as Kane

feels the pressure of that beam.

Let's go, Kane, get across.

Get it in here, Carolyn, before you can start working.

Let's go. You're good, Tika. Go!

It's going to be Sarah and Josh on the puzzle for Tika.

Kane is almost there.

Let's go, Kane, let's go.

- Yes! - Nice, Kane! Let's go!

Here comes Kane for Ratu.

Now they're going to get a shot at the puzzle.

You're good! Go, Ratu!

Now Ratu on the puzzle.

Going to be Carson and Lauren.

It would be a gigantic comeback for Ratu,

given their setbacks. This one goes here.

- And then a side piece might... - Soka looking very good

in a commanding lead right now,

with Ratu and Tika vying for second place.

Josh joining a new tribe, trying to make

a good first impression.

Carson also on a new tribe,

trying to make a good first impression.

It's all over for Soka. They've got the victory.

You've got it, Heidi and Matt.

Down to their last couple of pieces.

- Yeah! - Yeah! - There it is for Soka!

Soka wins immunity. Nobody going home.

Jaime heads over.

Now the race is on. We are very close.

Too close to call right now.

This one. Ratu's made up a lot of time.

Good job, Lauren! They got a shot!

Josh with another for Tika.

Another piece by Lauren for Ratu.

- Come on, guys. Come on. - We are neck and neck,

side by side.

Next to the tail. To the left. To the left. There.

You got it! You got it! You guys are so close!

We are within one or two pieces. Carson with another for Ratu.

There's one for Tika. You got it! You got it! You got it!

And another for Tika! - Oh.

We are neck and neck,

coming down to the last few pieces.

Yup. There you go. - Six pieces for Tika.

Come on, guys. Come on, guys.

Over there, Josh. Josh. - There's another for Ratu.

And another. Ratu down to two pieces.

Tika falling out of it.

Come here, Lauren! Come here, Lauren! Come here!

There it is! Ratu pulls off

a huge comeback,

sending Tika to Tribal Council.

That was an epic finish.

Wow.

Soka, huge victory.

Nice job. Immunity is yours.

Nobody going home.

Look what your mama did. - Yes!

Soka, in addition, you've earned back your flint.

- Thank you. - Yes. - Yeah.

Ratu, great example of why you never give up in a challenge.

I know you want that, Lauren.

All right, Ratu, Soka, no Tribal Council.

Nobody going home. Swim on out.

Enjoy the night off.

Wow. I give that an 11.

Tika, Tribal Council tonight.

Somebody will be the fifth person voted out of Survivor 44,

and as a penalty for losing, gonna take your flint.

Sorry for you.

All right, Tika, swim out. See you tonight at Tribal.

Heading back to camp, I still don't feel 100%

with this group.

I just met them yesterday, and I do have an immunity idol,

and having that in my back pocket will be beneficial.

But I'm nervous.

This is the biggest moment of Survivor for me.

If you think you have what it takes to come out here and play

this game, what are you waiting on? Apply to be on Survivor.

Watching them do that puzzle

and not making any progress...

I'm gonna take a dip in the pool.

But I'm thinking, game on, you know?

It's either me or you, baby.

And it's not going to be me.

We need to keep three of us strong.

Yeah. He goes first-- Josh.

I think it's in our best interest

to make the merge with four Tikas,

but Josh is not Tika, so...

we need to vote out Josh.

So don't get offended by that.

It's all good, man.

It's not like the first time you've ever said that.

And that's what we're doing. Yeah.

I'm always the decoy vote. "Here, Carolyn.

"Here's your plan.

"Here's how you're going to stay safe another day.

"You're gonna vote with us,

and we're going to go and we'll vote out Josh."

"But we got to make Josh feel comfortable,

so you just keep doing your thing."

I'm done with that. I'm done.

I understand completely why you're scared,

but, like...

we want to play with you. Yeah.

- We do. - Right.

Yeah.

I-I want that for us. Yeah.

And I-I hope I can trust you guys tonight.

Yeah. Yeah.

My main goal is to make Josh feel comfortable

that we're voting out Carolyn,

but if he has an idol, he's probably going to play it.

In that case, I would immediately play my idol,

but I want to see Josh go home,

I don't want him to play an idol,

and that would be a magical happy ending.

I don't feel like that. They're acting like...

- I know that that's not true. - Right.

I can't really trust Yam Yam and Sarah.

They've been together for eight-plus days,

and I'm just coming in new.

I was in a good position with Soka.

So my goal now is to get back to Soka and

continue on to merge.

- Sound good? - Yeah. Yeah.

Carolyn is on the outs.

They don't really mesh well with her.

So I'm dropping seeds in Carolyn's head

that Yam Yam and Sarah

are trying to vote you out.

Yeah. Yeah.

I need her to trust me

so that we can get Sarah out because she is a big threat.

Want to see what it look...

Carolyn can be voted out later,

and I don't think Yam Yam

and Carolyn really get along, so I think

it's my best option at this point.

- Let's do this. Okay? - Yeah. Yeah.

I'm shocked because I have an immunity idol,

and Josh also has a hidden immunity idol, and he wants

to play his idol on me.

But I just know I'm gonna lose Yam Yam's trust.

But, like, they don't do a great job

of making me feel like I'm in with them.

So why would I have any loyalty to them is how I feel right now.

We are telling him it's you.

You feel good?

Yeah, we have to be solid.

I did not come out here to be told

what every plan was.

Like, that's not going to get me anywhere.

I'm trying to weigh this out.

Do I let Josh play this idol

for me, and then Josh goes home, or

do I tell Josh, "Hey, play that idol on yourself.

"Me and you vote Sarah,

and she is gone"?

I'm battling in my head.

"Be logical, don't be emotional.

You don't need to be in control right now," versus

"No, stand up and do something for yourself."

I'm doing what I am confident in my heart, in my gut is

the best for me.

All right, let's start with the obvious.

Josh, did you consider when you went on the journey

that "maybe I won't come back"?

Honestly, I was completely shocked.

Um, I went from a really good position at Soka

to the bottom of the barrel here.

So I'm extremely nervous at this Tribal Council.

So, Sarah, this could be simple.

"We just vote out Josh. We don't even know him.

We don't owe him anything."

Right, but then he's got four BFFs

on the other tribe right now, and come merge time,

that could be valuable

if we were to move forward with him.

Yam Yam, how about for you?

Yeah, he's like the new kid in the classroom.

You know? Like, maybe I had a friend

in the classroom that we were really good friends with,

but I don't want to be her friend anymore.

Um, and I want... that's...

Well, what are you trying to say?

Are you...? Like, the new kid

- in the classroom... - But the new kid

in the classroom isn't a her.

No, no, no, I'm just saying it, like, as an idea.

I'm not saying that Yam Yam is saying,

"Bye, Felicia." You know?

- I'm just saying. - Who's Felicia?

So, Carolyn, your face right now.

I'm Felicia. Oh, you're Felicia?

And you think he's talking about you?

I think he made a slip that he regrets making.

- When he said "her"? - Yeah.

It's normal

for this to happen with us.

I say some things that I'm thinking

they're going to sound all cute and funny, and I-I...

I hit the wall and I offended her again.

- You know? - Sarah, you were nodding.

Yes. There is occasional misunderstanding,

I would say, in the words

that Yam Yam uses and how Carolyn perceives them.

I disagree. I think that that was a slip

that you didn't want to make.

I disagree to your disagreement.

- Okay. - This is great news for me. I like chaos.

I'm just doing what I can just to not have the focus on me,

but on their previous issues.

Yeah, he can pick up on this. In a game

where you're supposed to hide, like,

fighting, or if you're not getting along,

we don't care, we put it out there.

But even with that, maybe this whole thing

was just a charade, you know, just to knock me off my game.

And yet you have to find somebody to trust in.

Yeah, and there are certain people

that I feel like I can trust

and others that I can't trust.

Sarah, we're only nine days in.

Is it even possible to trust anybody?

All you have is what you're telling people

and hoping that they trust it and they go in on the plan.

Carolyn, I'm sensing some uneasiness.

You pull your eye... Your-your eyes go back in your head.

It's so hard. It's so hard.

And so what's your pitch

as to why you should stay?

I've been with this tribe a lot longer.

They-they know me. We have those connections.

Um, he is the new guy.

Yam Yam, that's a legitimate pitch.

"I'm loyal, I'm here,

I wear purple." Yeah.

That has a lot of value, what she's saying.

But like Sarah said, the connections that Josh has

on the other tribe of people that I want to know and meet

are very powerful.

Yeah. Well, who's left?

Felicia.

So it, like...

Is this all an act? Like, I don't know.

So, Josh, as we get ready to vote,

do you feel that you've said everything you need to say?

I think I've said everything I need to say.

I've had my conversations that I need to have,

and the information that was said back and forth,

I think, is pretty honest

and open and ready to go.

Is everybody ready to vote?

Is there any other questions?

Oh.

Just, yeah, put me out of my misery.

You sure?

All right, it is

time to vote. Josh, you're up.

If anybody has an advantage or an idol,

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

Jeff?

I don't want to take any chances,

so I'm going to play my hidden immunity idol.

For myself.

Okay. Thank you.

This is a hidden immunity idol.

Any votes cast for Josh will not count.

All right, I'll read the votes.

First vote-- Josh. Does not count.

Josh. Wow.

- Does not count. - Wow. Knew it.

Sarah. One vote-- Sarah.

Fifth person voted out of Survivor 44...

...Sarah. Need to bring me your torch.

Sarah, the tribe has spoken.

Time for you to go. Thank you.

Pick up your torches, head back to camp.

Good night.

I've literally been training to be here

for, like, eight years, but I wake up in so much pain.

Next time on Survivor...

She doesn't know that Matt and I are really close.

Everyone is sharing with me,

and it gives me a lot of power.

Those two-- oh!

Dude, what's up with the bitch face?

I kept trying to tell myself not to worry and held onto the idol.

I didn't think he was going to vote for me, and it was stupid.

It's miserable going home with the idol in your pocket.

I join a special club of sad, sad people

because I had the ticket to keep going, and I didn't use it.

I got played.
