out March 7. Come back and

out March 7. Come back and play!

JONATHAN LAPAGLIA: Four years ago,
the heart of the outback was witness

to one of Australian Survivor's
most iconic battles...

..Brains versus Brawn.

Go, push it!

But while they physically
dominated...

(CHEERING)
Come on!

..in the end, Brawn were crushed
into the red dust...

..and a Brain stood victorious.

The battle was won,
but the war rages on.

And this time, Samoa bears witness.

A breathtaking paradise
meets nature's full force.

Here, the next generation of
Brains and Brawn take up the fight...

..and the rematch starts now.

As an Olympic athlete, we understand
what it takes to fight

and never give up.

It's something I do every day.

COMMENTATOR: Morgan Mitchell
kicks it up another one

and will power to the line.

I'm a three-time national champion.

I've made three world championship
teams, two Commonwealth Games,

and two Olympic Games.

I'm definitely very sweet
on the outside,

but just don't poke this bear,
'cause you'll regret it.

(LAUGHS) Don't try me.

I'm not scared to be physical.
I'm a tackler.

Nothing feels better than
laying someone on the ground.

While football is a big part
of my life,

I've always been in the shadows
of my family.

When people think of the Noonans,

they think of my dad
and my three older brothers.

And then there's me,
and nobody knows who I am.

Being on Survivor is carving out
my own identity,

and I'm excited
to shove it in their face

that this is the only Noonan
everyone else will remember now.

JONATHAN: Their raw physical power...

..is matched only by
their extreme passion to win.

Representing Brawn has always been
something that I'm about.

Being physically strong,
being in shape,

being fit and
not just painted-on muscles.

The muscles work.

# Yeah
Real talk... #

So, my biggest misconception
would be

that people wouldn't see
the intelligence.

# Facts... #

Most people would hear 'rapper',
they hear "hip-hop artist",

they would think rappers
as being dumb.

But as soon as I start talking,
they're like, "Ah, shit."

That's why a few said,

"Hey, you could've been
on the Brains tribe."

And I very well could have been.

# Look at me, I'm bad. #
Morning, everyone.

Nice to meet you.

Every single day apply
to two words a day. Learning.

So today I learned acumen.
So sales and business acumen.

And then the other one was sublime.

Look, being out here, we won't have
access to new words and reading.

I will have access to push-ups
and pull-ups.

So, being able to go up
against the Brains

and also having brains myself,
it's game over, baby.

JONATHAN: This generation of Brawn
are here to settle the score.

But to take the crown...

..they'll need to dethrone...

..the Brains.

A tribe of intelligent
social players...

..strategically cunning...

..they are the masters
of their craft.

I knew I needed to be a doctor,
probably in utero,

because brown parents.

Done about eight years of university
to get to where I am.

I'm on the Brains tribe
because I'm a doctor.

I'm smart. I know that.

But I work in orthopaedic surgery.

It's the brawniest speciality
you could get.

Which means I'm the full package.

This island's got drama, thrill,
and action, just like a film.

And all those elements
are cooking here.

As a director, I'm an ideas man.

And action.

And just like the island,
when you have an idea,

you have to pitch it to the
right people to get it across.

That's how I've nailed jobs
and I've got green lit.

Just like my last film
had Antonio Banderas,

I think that's how
I'll win this game.

I'm here to have fun.
I'm here to create drama.

Back in the day, it was called
shit-stirring.

My fiancee thinks
I'm the world's best gaslighter.

It's something I hold true,
I think. I'm a title holder.

JONATHAN: Their insight
is their greatest asset,

where every move is calculated.

When I found out
it was Brains versus Brawn,

I was absolutely stoked

because I'm right at home
on the Brains tribe

and I'm ready to kick
some Brawn ass.

I'm a financial analyst
dealing with big-money clients.

Some would say I'm
a bit of a freak in the sheets.

I use a lot of spreadsheets.

I love working with numbers,
both, like, in work and in life.

I also pole-dance.

It's one of my hobbies I like to do.

I love competition.

I have had to learn how to
tone down my competitiveness

at board game nights.

I'm a strategy nerd.

I love the game of Survivor.

I think it's the ultimate
strategy game.

And I'm here to prove
that I can play

the best game in the world
and play the best at it.

JONATHAN: The age-old rivalry will
once again be put to the test.

When people see me, they see muscle.

I mean, who doesn't love
being strong?

Bring on the rematch.

JONATHAN: Two tribes,
two opposing game plans.

Being a Brain means we aren't
relying on veins in our arms,

we're relying on veins in our head.

And this primary school teacher
is going to be using his brain

to teach those Brawn a lesson.

I even wore my trusty
playground duty hat,

so they're all gonna know
exactly who I am...

Oh!

..on the island.

JONATHAN: Only one will outwit,

outplay,

and outlast all the others

to take home
the half-million dollar prize.

47 days, 24 people, one Survivor.

Let's go, Brains.

Come on in.

Oh, my God!
Oh, my God!

(EXCITED CHATTER)

There he is.
There he is.

There he is.
The man, the myth, the legend.

Oh.

Loving the hat.
Thanks, JLP.

I'll swap you.

Ready, Brawn? Oosh!

Come on, Brawns.
(ENTHUSIASTIC SHOUTING)

Let's make some noise. Whoo!

OK. Look at this.
Hello.

This is crazy.

Ah!

Hello.

JLP!

Welcome to the rematch of

Australian Survivor:
Brains Versus Brawn.

Over in the red corner,
we have the Brains.

Whip smart and strategically savvy,

your mind is your greatest weapon
out here.

And over in the blue corner,
we have the Brawn tribe.

(ALL CHEER)

Physical beasts
and pillars of power,

getting the job done
is what you're all about.

(SQUEALS)

Woman in the front here with
the blue vest, what's your name?

I'm Noonan.
Noonan?

Oh, it sounds so good
to hear him say it.

Really?
(ALL LAUGH)

Noonan.

It actually rolls off the tongue.
I actually quite like it.

Thank you. Yeah.

So, Noonan, the Brawn tribe
comes into this season

with something to prove.

Is that intimidating?
No, not at all.

I think we've all practised
our baking skills at home

and ready to serve some humble pie
to those people over there.

Gentlemen in the back with
the brown hat, what's your name?

Hi, I'm AJ.

AJ, if we could run this
Brain versus Brawn experiment,

I don't know, say, like, 100 times,

what do you think the outcome
would be?

Uh, if I ran the numbers, I'd say...

If I'm going to be honest,
I'd say 50/50.

50/50?
AJ!

(ALL PROTEST)

Hey, hey, hey, hey.
You don't want to...

You don't want to say you're 100%,
you look bad.

Woman in the front here
with the green and white dress,

what's your name?
Indy.

Indy, there's a lot of biceps on
display over on the Brawn tribe.

So, how do you think the Brains
are going to deal with that?

Can I just say I expected everyone
on the Brawn side to be, like,

way fitter and faster
and stronger than me.

I did expect that. That's OK.

She's brutal.

Gentleman with the black baseball
cap backwards, what's your name?

Me?
Yes.

Nash.

Last time we had this match-up
between Brains and Brawn,

Brains dominated.

So should Brawn just pack up
their gear and go home?

Nah. It's a whole different team
out here, mate.

And we're about to kick some butt.
We're ready to go hard.

Bring her on. Let's go.

Alright. Look, it's only day one,

but I am loving the competitive
spirit between the two tribes.

But this is Survivor,
and there is only one crown.

That means only one of you will
walk out of here with the title

and the half-million dollars
that goes with it.

Will it be a Brain?
Will it be a Brawn?

We'll find out in 47 days.

Whoo! Whoo-hoo.

Now, before we get started,
you're gonna need one of these.

(ALL CHEER)

Oh, shit!
Oh, yes.

(ALL SHOUT AND EXCLAIM)

Buffs on, boys! Yeah!

Start it up, baby.
Let's go!

Whoo! Whoo!

Look at us!
Look at US!

Alright, let's go.

Alright, now, are you ready to get
to your first reward challenge?

(ALL CHEER)

Bring it on.

OK, today's challenge
is very simple.

The goal is to retrieve a key
from the top of a very high pole.

But all you will have
at your disposal

is a pile of sandbags
and a bunch of palm fronds.

So, it's going to take both brains
and brawn to get the job done.

First tribe to retrieve their key
wins reward.

Alright, now, just because
I'm feeling generous,

this season, both tribes
are going to start the game

with their fire lit back at camp.

(ALL CHEER)

However, you will not be starting
this season with a flint,

so if your fire goes out...

Oh.
..it's on you.

Wanna know what you're playing for?
ALL: Yeah.

Winning tribe will use their key
back at camp to unlock...

..the ultimate construction kit...

..with a saw, an axe, a hammer,
nails, a machete...

We can do this.
Guys, we've got this.

..rope, a hammock...

(ALL EXCLAIM)

..a tarp to keep you dry.

And we needed that.
We need that tarp.

Worth playing for?
ALL: Yeah.

Alright, I'll give you a minute
to strategise. Let's get to it.

Whoo!

Alright, here we go.

For reward. Survivors, ready?

Go!

Let's go, guys.
I'm gonna take these palm fronds.

Move the ferns, move the ferns.

The objective of this challenge
is very simple...

Let's go, team. Come on.
..retrieve a key.

Let's get it done.

The execution not so simple...

Let's go, let's go. Come on!

..because that key is 6.5m
from the ground.

Let's go, let's go, Brains!

All you have is 100 sandbags...

Let's go. Come on.
..and four palm fronds.

So, two groups of two
working on the ferns.

How you use them is up to you.

Get it going, girls.
You're killing it.

Brains to try and build up
their pile of sandbags.

Come on, Brawn.

Meanwhile, Brawn have put
their best assets to work.

Ah!

Sandbags are heavy.

More sandbags.

Here comes Zen with two.

We've got this, Brawn.

Ursula with two.

No more, no more.
Support the base.

They're going. They're going!

Paulie goes up.

Brawn have their pole together.
He's going to test it.

Let's go, Paulie!

You got it, Paulie.
Hold the bag.

Oh, it's long enough.

The wind, bro. The wind.
Come on, you've got it.

Wind playing a factor now...
Move closer.

..pushing that pole around.

No, no. Let's bring it...
Bring it down. Bring it down.

We're gonna have to make it thicker.

Alright, it needs
to be thicker on the end.

Come on, let's go,
let's go, let's go.

AJ going up for Brains now.

Try that.

They have three palm fronds
lashed together.

He's going to test it.

Go! Come on.
Get that first one, bro.

Stand tall, stand tall,
stand tall, stand tall.

Hold on, hold on.
Oh.

No. Now they're in trouble.

Do you wanna get on my shoulders?

Guys, look what they're doing.

And you guys...
This is the moment, Kate.

Come on.
Yeah.

Brawn abandoning their sandbags,

and going
for the human pyramid method.

I can do it all day, mate.

You've got this, girl.
You've got this.

Kate on the shoulders of Ben,
trying to reach the key.

(INDISTINCT CONVERSATIONS)

One more. One more.

Cowboy, cowboy, come here.

Rich...
Get ready to catch these.

..thinks he's on to something.

Oh!
Yeah.

OK, let's go.
Ah! Oh.

Brains rethinking their strategy.

I'll give it a shot.

Oh, shit. Oh, shit.

No, no.

Oh, no.
They get it caught on the coil.

That is a disaster for the Brains.

Oh, my (BLEEP) God.

That opens the window for Brawn.

Oh, my God.
Come on.

Kate gets it. One full loop.

Come on, Brawn. Let's go.

Yes!

Kate successful again.

One more. Come on.

Brawn on the last loop.

This is a debacle.

Nah, you're not gonna
reach it there, bro.

No, it's not strong enough.
Not strong enough. Not even a...

Complete disaster for Brains.

Guys, let's just keep
working on it.

Come on, bro.

Come on, Kate. Come on, Kate.

Kate going for the win.

(BRAWN TRIBE CHEER)

That is it!

Brawn wins reward.
And this game is on!

Oh!
Come on.

Oh, yes.

We were born to be Brawn.
We were born to be Brawn.

Let's go. Come on.

Whoo!

ZEN: Of course we won.
We're the Brawns.

Strong of body, strong of mind,
strong of spirit.

We showed up and we got it done.

Congratulations, everyone. Yes.
Whoo-hoo!

Ah, beautiful.

Everything about survivor hit me
as soon as I walked into camp.

We're on a beautiful beach.

There was the torch rack
for the torches.

There was the fire.

I was speechless. For the first
time, a Noonan was speechless.

We smashed it today.
We did, we did.

How was the Brains? They, they...
Idiots.

Oh, they didn't... They had
no brains, I'll tell you that.

Yeah.
Yeah.

I will just introduce myself.
Yeah. Yes.

So, my name is Paul.
I'm 30-something, from Sydney.

I'm a paramedic.

Oh, man.
That's so cool.

My name's Ursula. I'm 35,
and I'm a stay-at-home mum.

Yeah.
That's pretty strong.

My name's Jesse.
I'm a professional skateboarder.

And I also have a bun in the oven
with my partner.

My name is Candy.
I'm 26 and I'm a model.

And I'm also a country girl from WA.

Oh, yes. Excellent.

Kristin, I'm from Sydney.
I'm an aviation firefighter,

hence why I like tying knots.

Oh!
Professionalism in those knots.

My name's Zen and I'm a hip-hop
artist from the Gold Coast.

Write some rhymes for us.
Oh.

If it's not profit or progress,
I pay it. No focus.

We're here for 47 days.
So when do we start?

How do we outlast?

Nice.

I love it.

Part of me cringed, and another
part of me was like a proud mum.

I was like, "Go, Zen.
Rap for me harder."

Alright, let's open up that box.
Yeah!

Whoa!
Yahoo!

After winning that first reward
of pumpkin, bananas, a building kit,

we're pumped.

These are good.
Cheers.

Cheers.

Oh, that's a sweet banana.
Yeah, right.

It tastes a bit like honey.
It's delicious.

Oh. That's good.
Good victory, team. Well done.

It's starting to get dark very soon,
so I think we need to...

Fire?
Yeah, we need to...

We really need to think about
how we're going to build.

Alright, let's get this tarp up.

So, we've got a massive tarp.

What are we thinking, guys?
How high do we want it?

Because are we going to build
a floor up eventually?

I think that'd be cool.

Myself and Ben have taken the lead
on building our shelter.

We're calling the shots.

We're putting a plan in place,
and we're getting it done.

They will call me LeBrawn James

because I will be the king
of the Brawns.

And I can slam dunk. No, I can't.

But everyone's more interested
in socialising at this point.

So, you coach soccer?
Yeah. Ex-player.

Yeah, stonemason.
I've been a landscaper.

Alison Wonderland.
I love her.

It's a funny tribe we have.
You have followers...

Yeah.

And you have a mix
of wannabe leaders.

Where's all our friends at?
We need some help.

What do you need?

Yeah, we need some hands
over here, pronto.

Why don't you ask Nash?

And then you have me.

Hey, Zen.
Yeah?

Slow it. Slow it down.

I think you need to make moves
very early.

You got to play the game
straightaway,

and I will use every single
advantage that I can.

They're different to Australian
bananas. How thin the skin is.

Mmm. I'm gonna try eat the skin.
Someone's gotta do it.

Have a go.

Like, don't sit back.
You're here to play, so let's play.

Alright. Nah, nah,
don't eat the skin. Oh, nah.

You're not...
Why'd you do that?

I found an idol...

..five minutes into the game.

How exciting.

Ah, I've dreamt of you. Mwah.

I found an idol...

..five minutes into the game.

Oh, I've dreamt of you. Mwah!

(ZEN LAUGHS)

Yeah. You baby.

Boom.
Boom.

Thanks, bro.

Game on.

He found an idol,
which is actually spectacular.

We need to make a solid team.
Of course.

It's exactly what we need.

We need, we need, we need brothers
that are actually gonna...

..when we say, "This is what
we're doing," follow the plan.

I'm perspicacious enough to go,

"He's obviously a phenomenal player.

"Why would I not try to
work with him?"

I got you, bro.

I gotta figure out,
do I show them all?

You know what?
I'm walking in with it.

I don't care if people find out
if I have an idol.

I say flaunt it.

Having a dad bod,
I've got the size for the game.

I'm a big bloke,
but I'm not here for size,

I'm here for my mouth,
because I can use it.

I've been in sales my whole life.
I can sell anything to anyone.

With my confidence
and with my charm,

you're going to believe
everything I say.

I'm curious to see these guys' faces.

With this idol around my neck,

gotta go in there like I've got
something I'm going to sell

and they've gotta buy it off me.

I'm selling them working with me.

For that overhang, what do you
reckon? That's pretty good here.

It gives us a fair bit of cover.

My mum's Greek
and my dad's Lebanese.

It's a nice job there.
Good, good.

That's sturdy.
Let's do the end one.

What's going on?

It's a fun job.

It'd be nice to, like, wake up
and look at the ocean.

Like, hello! Wakey-wakey.
Are youse blind?

Benny...

Should we nail it to something?
What's going on?

Did you get it out?
Nail it in.

Seriously? Where'd you get that?

(LAUGHS)

Oh, what? What?
You already found one.

Over there, three o'clock.
Oh, he's actually wearing...

He's actually wearing it?
Literally.

I mean, gotta be happy for people,
I guess, I don't know.

Or at least be happy
for your bestie's successes.

Nash has already found an idol.
What?!

Hold the tarp.

Yeah. Let's go, let's go.

How? How have
you even had the time?

Just put my hands in the tree
and found it,

and just opened it up and read it.

This piece here.
Got another piece here. Hey.

Game on, game on.

KATE: He's walking around,
flaunting it.

Grr, hey?

That thing is his, like,
ice, his jewellery.

It's never too early to
form an alliance...

I think so.
..playing Survivor.

Like, day one. Are you serious?

I mean, good on him.
That's exciting.

But he's just put a big target
on his chest, literally.

(ALL CHEER)

Whoo!

Did I lose us the challenge?
Yes.

And we get a fire.

I think we should push on.

And that's exactly what we're doing
at the Brains tribe,

we're pushing on.

That challenge.

Oh.

It was so windy.

I think, honestly, if we didn't have
that wind, there was a high chance,

and, I mean, if we didn't have Max,
there's also a high chance...

We just need to make sure
we learn from our mistakes.

Yeah.

The stupidest thing was throwing
that whole sack in the air.

It was ridiculous.

Yeah.

Should we, uh, introduce ourselves?
Yeah.

Hey, guys. I am Max.
I'm a primary school teacher.

Pretty fun job.

My name's Ali.

I am an international artificial
intelligence programmer

and education expert.

Wow. That sounds nice.

I'm Zara. I'm 43.
I'm from Brisbane.

I used to be a lawyer,
so I've got three degrees,

which is the brainy part
of me being out here.

Oh, wow.
There you go.

Oh, well, clearly the elder
statesman of the group.

My name is Kent. I'm 53.

I'm a consultant specialising
in supply chain logistics.

And fun fact,
I'm also a helicopter pilot.

Ah.

I'm Laura, I'm 25.
I'm from Melbourne. I'm a witch.

Wow.
Yeah.

An evil one?
I don't do anything bad, I promise.

All my powers are good.
I am a good white witch.

Being a witch came to me
rather than me finding it.

It was a feeling that
I could harness something

that not everyone can.

People question my abilities
every single day.

They either get really scared,

and then the other side
is people are fascinated.

But if they do get scared,

that kind of means that part of them
believes me.

My spiritual intelligence

will definitely be my strongest
advantage in the game.

It will help me read people,

it will help me understand
what they're going to do

before they even know
that they're going to do it.

Oh, sorry, babe.

Survivor is all about making
friends quick.

So I was immediately
reading people's auras.

What grade do you teach, Max?
Usually little ones. One, two.

Yeah.
Kindy.

I see little colours
above people's heads

and it tells me who I can work with
in the future and who I can't.

Listen, where you're
actually cutting it,

you're actually cutting it
in the worst spot possible

because that's basically
the hardest part.

You wanna be cutting it
in the middle.

It's already done.
Yeah, you've done that one.

Kent's aura was...

..bizarre.

He is fascinating.

Colours I've never seen in a human...

..making me think Kent might be
a little bit dangerous.

Big swing.
You guys done with the machete?

Out of the way.
Yeah. Yeah, yeah. Sorry.

I've been looking at you like,
yeah, I want to work with you.

Me too.
Yeah. OK, cool, cool, cool, cool.

There's some big boys, right?

If we go into swap
and we end up on a minority,

we are the more obvious targets
who are the weakness

the Brawn will potentially cull
if we're in the minority?

Yeah.

Myles, his aura was full of
polka dots. To me, he's strategic.

Yeah, plenty.

Well, that's great.
Yeah.

Fantastic. That's what you want.
Yeah. Yeah, yeah.

OK, let's go make new friends.

You know what's so funny?

Literally two weeks ago,
I went and got my aura read.

Oh, my God. Really?
Yeah.

And now I'm getting
interesting vibes

from a really strong group of girls.

Logan...

..Zara...

Oh.

And Karin.
We're sticking to the witchy vibes.

I'm happy with witchy vibes.

You'll see us all
around the camp fire at night,

like holding hands and chanting.

I'm not calling it, like, a coven,

but if all the women gang up
together, then, I mean...

I mean, call it what you will.

OK, I see it, I see it.
I like you, I want to work with you.

I love an all-girl alliance.

A block of four is quite
strong in this.

You might go, "Oh, girl alliance,
predictable. Hate it."

But, like, if we can mobilise
this really good group of girls,

you've got the start of something.

I think we just need to really,
really keep an eye on these boys

and not, like, make sure
that they're not too strong.

Are we gonna say that this is
our foundational block, then,

and build around it?

Yeah, yeah.

A little coven?
ALL: Coven.

Oh, yeah. Love a little witchy
coven. Oh, yay! That's so fun.

KARIN: With everything, once you put
a name to it, it has so much power.

The coven stays strong.

(ALL LAUGH)

Oh, look at the light on Zen.
He looks magnificent.

Oh, he does. He's like,
"Stop! Don't look at me."

Yeah.
Yeah.

Look at him.
(LAUGHTER)

Probably the hardest part
of the game for me personally,

is having to hide
the testosterone levels

and kind of simmer down
the level of intelligence.

Do a back-flip.

And play not dumb...

..but play under and allow someone
to take the leadership position,

someone like Nash.

Wanna gonna go for a beach walk?

Calm down. Calm down.

Hey, look, the prince is here,
alright? Where's my red carpet?

Nash, he has an idol. He, at this
point in time, has the most power.

You just don't know what he's
going to do, and he's so full-on.

So let's just keep him happy
for now,

because the dude kind of scares me.

Nash threw us into the game
straightaway.

He forced us to play, and some of us
don't appreciate the arrogance.

I don't want to play his game.

Nash the rash.

He just spreads like one.

Not that we all want to admit
when we have a rash,

but he is the rash.

We need to stop the Nash rash
from spreading.

(ALL TALK AT ONCE)

Max is there all the time, though.
He goes like that.

I'm like, "Mate..."

I love the Brains tribe.

There's a lot of really quirky
characters.

I've gotten along super well
with all of them.

Everyone other than Kent.

He's running around like a madman
with his machete chopping at stuff.

It does make all of us nervous.

Hey, guys, our floor plan is
going to be that tree, that tree,

that tree, that tree, and a stump.

I just thought, because we're
going to need some length...

I'm talking about the floor plan.

Oh.

Day one, I can see a whole lot of

what I define as people settling
for personal mediocrity.

Whoa!

It was terrible losing
the challenge.

Max...
Don't put that in.

(LAUGHS)

..mate, it was your fault.

Honestly, it was pathetic.

Where did that cowboy hat come from?

That's my teaching hat.
That's your alter ego?

I'm not cut from the same cloth
as everybody else.

I am a multimillionaire.

And Survivor is the only thing
on my bucket list that I can't buy.

In my business,
I don't take no for an answer.

I'm the guy that'll beat down
the door and throw the hand grenade.

I'll beat the shit out of you,
but it'll be gentle.

Yeah.

I think I have an innate ability
to be able to read the room

and ultimately manipulate.

That's been really
the key to my success.

Goodnight, guys.
Goodnight.

Freedom!

The boardroom is no different
to the beach.

It's time to throw the hand grenade.

They've got no idea
what's going to hit 'em.

WOMAN: Max, where did you leave it?

Guys...no-one's seen
Max's cowboy hat?

Yeah, it's gone.
No, that's mine.

I can tell you, my hat this morning
was in the forest.

My hat's gone.

I looked high, I've looked low.

I've looked over. I've looked under.

I don't know where it is.

We should probably help him
look for it.

I've looked. I'm happy...
I'm happy to help.

(LAUGHS)

I am a Komodo dragon.

You know how a Komodo dragon works,

a Komodo dragon,
it'll just give you a little bite,

and then it just
chaperones you around

till the toxins that it's
put inside you take effect,

and you just slowly die of toxicity.

I don't think...
The wind's blowing this way.

It was an onshore breeze
all night.

Oh, well, then someone's burnt it.

Who's the number one suspect?
That's the real question.

Who is the burning hat kind of dude?

I looked at Myles and thought,

"He is the kind of person that
is going to be the first target."

So I'm going to throw him
under the bus.

Absolutely.

Because the poison's already in,
remember? Yeah.

Come on in.

Let's do it.
Whoa!

Oh, my God.

That's a lot of climbing. Wow.

Let's go.

Oh, here they are.

Go, team! Come on.

Ooh.
Oh, my God!

Oh.

Wow.
Wow.

It's nice, isn't it?

Bang!
So public.

Very public.
Interesting strategy.

Whoo!
JONATHAN: Wow.

Laura, what do you make of that?

That's a statement.
That's a statement. It looks great.

Thank you.
Suits you.

I wonder what everyone else thinks.

So, Noonan, how do you feel
about Nash's discovery?

There's a fine line between
confidence and arrogance.

I appreciated it on all levels.

And I'll keep the rest of
my opinion to myself.

You can use it tonight, mate.

Oh.
(LAUGHTER)

Flush it out.
Oh.

Alright, are you ready to get
to your first immunity challenge?

ALL: Yeah.
Alright.

For today's challenge...

..you're going to work together to
lift a heavy, coconut-filled snake

out of a cage, under a net,
and up to a high tower.

You will then use those coconuts
to fill a drum, releasing a gate...

..allowing two of you to race
forward and solve a puzzle.

First tribe gets it right,
wins immunity.

And this...

..is the immunity idol.

With this back at camp,
you are safe,

guaranteed another day in the game.

Without it, you're going
to be seeing me at tribal council,

where one of you will become
the first person

voted out of Australian Survivor:
Brains Versus Brawn.

Nobody wants to be that person.

Alright, I'll give you a minute
to strategise.

We'll get it on.

OK.
Puzzle makers.

Alright, Indy?
Yeah.

Yes.

I've gotta do the puzzle
because this time...

Are you good?
Yeah. With puzzles, I'm good.

One. And?

I believe in you.
Yeah, I'll be fine.

Fine. Alright, guys, we got this.
We got this.

Alright, on the puzzle for Brains,
we have Indy and Laura,

Noonan and Nash for Brawn.

For immunity - Survivors, ready?

Go!

Go. Come on.

Two at a time, climbing the cage,
PD and Zen for Brawn.

Oh, go, go, go. Go.

Got AJ and Kaelan for Brains.

Go, AJ.
Good work. Good work.

Go, go, go.

Both tribes neck and neck.

Good girl, Morgan. Good girl.

Want me to go up first?
You go up.

JONATHAN: Now you gotta haul
that snake over the top.

Oh.

Yep.
Let's go.

Keep going, boys.

That snake is heavy.

Over 170 kilos of coconuts
right there.

Keep doing it. It's almost there.
Let's go.

Brains wasting no time.

Good.
You got it. You got it.

Zen and PD
hauling it over the edge for Brawn.

Go, go, go.

Finally, they have their snake over.

Here you go.
Someone hold this.

Now you got to get that snake
all the way under the net.

Ah!
Keep pulling!

Three, two, one, heave.

If that wasn't difficult enough,
you gotta navigate those obstacles.

Wait, Maxy, you hold up
that second one.

I think we're good.
Pull it through.

It's Max and Myles leading
the charge through the net.

Brains have a slight lead,
but Brawn are closing the gap.

Keep going, team.
Yeah.

Go.
Again.

Go, guys.

They're nearly out. Nearly out!
Pull this way.

One, two, three, pull!

Let's go.

One, two, three, pull.

Urgh.

Brains are almost through.

You're good.

Let's go. Let's go, Brains.
Let's get it up the tower.

Come on.
Go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go!

Come on.
Go, Brawn.

AJ, Max and Kaelan
up the top there for Brains.

One, two, three.

Paulie and Zen at the top
of the tower for Brawn.

Pull it up.

One, two, three.

Come on, guys. Push!

We need someone else up the top.

Brawn are stuck! Meanwhile, Brains...

We're nearly there. Come on.
Let's go.

One, two, three.

..working well together as a team.

One, two, three.

You're good, Brains. Start untying.

Start dumping it!

Now you need to dump those coconuts
into the drum.

That's it. That's it.
Let's go!

One more, one more.

Brawn have their snake
on top of the tower.

Go, go.

Untie your snake. Let's go, Brawn!

Go, go, go!
Untie it.

You need to get enough coconuts
in there to drop the drum...

Here come the coconuts, baby.
..and release that gate.

Go! Go, go, go, go!

(ALL CHEER)

You're good, Brains!
Whoo!

Go, puzzle makers.

It's Laura and Indy on the puzzle
for Brains.

Go, girls.
Settle down, settle down.

That's it. More, more, more.
Let's go! One more.

Go, go, go!
Yahoo!

You're good.
Let's go, Nash!

Go, puzzle makers!

Big trip from Nash,
trying to get over the gate.

Oh, shit.
Go, Nashy!

It's Nash and Noonan on the puzzle
for Brawn.

Green on the bottom,
green on the bottom.

56 pieces, all the same size.

So your only clue on this puzzle
is the design on the front.

We're assuming that it ends with...

Is that beginning of, like?

This could be the beginning
of an S like this.

Slow and methodical
on the Brain puzzle.

Brains working their way through it.

Good job. Good job, girls.
Go!

Meanwhile, Nash completely lost.

Come on, guys.

First immunity challenge
for the season,

someone is going home tonight.

Yes.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Indy finds another piece.

(ALL SHOUT ENCOURAGEMENT)

Every piece that goes in,
the easier it gets.

Hang on.

There.
There you go. There you go, guys.

Oh.

Is it that corner? Give me that.
Is it that corner?

No, it needs to be green, eh?

Oh, this is driving me nuts, eh?

Brawn really stuck at
that trial-and-error stage.

Does it not connect like that?

He keeps piling them up.

No, that's not gonna sit like that.

Go, Noonan.
Go, Noonan.

There, there, there.

Brains have more than half
the puzzle completed.

Yeah.
Go, go, go.

Go, Brawn.

Yeah, yeah.
Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, yeah.

Yep, good. Awesome.

Brains getting excited now.
Working quickly.

There. That one. That one. Done.

Another piece goes in for Brains.

Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes.

OK, spiky.

Noonan and Nash getting
a clue from the buff.

Can you see it?

You got it?
Yeah. This is the flick.

I'm trying to find the flick
of the A.

Go, Noonan. Come on, Noony.

Nope. Oh, my God, this is hard.
There.

Couple more pieces going in
for Brains.

Go, girls! So close.

There, there, there.
Oh!

Oh, looking so good, girls.

And another piece.
Whoo-hoo!

Down to four pieces.

Yes!
Go!

Oh, my God.
They're gonna close it out.

Whoo!

Come on. Go, go!

Turn it, turn it. Turn it.

Turn it!
Yes.

And that is it.

Brains wins immunity,
sending Brawn to tribal council.

Well done. Well done.
You guys are unbelievable.

Alright, Brains, congratulations,
immunity is yours.

(ALL CHEER)

Yay!
Good job. Good job.

Alright, Brains, you are safe.
Nobody going home.

You can grab your gear, head on back
to camp. Enjoy your night off.

(ALL CHEER)

Good luck, Nash.

Oh, it's gonna be a show.

Alright, Brawn,
tribal council tonight

where one of you will be the first
person voted out of this game.

Grab your gear, head on out.
I will see you tonight.

See you tonight.

We've lost the challenge, and
I don't think it had to be lost.

Nash was doing the worst
puzzle making

I've ever seen in my whole life.

We need to put that guy
on the bench permanently.

Nash is to blame for today's loss.

Yeah, there's
some embers under there.

Alright, it's going.

So, I have no idea what's
going to happen at tribal council.

We haven't even had enough time

to work out who we like,
who we don't like.

It's day two, come on.

Zen, Zen.

Zenny, let's go.

I was thinking the same.

I'm just gonna fill up my bottle.

No, no.
No?

Just say it now.

And what's the reason?
Just strength, challenges?

Just social.

NASH: I put Candy's name
out straightaway.

I haven't connected with her,

and I just don't feel
like she's going to be anyone

that I can align with,
moving forward.

It's going to be strength of
the team, challenge strong...

Let's do it.
..don't go back to tribal council.

That's the one, yeah? It's
just gotta to be kept quiet. OK.

Done.
Done.

Nash has just formed this 'alliance'
with PD, Ursula, and myself.

He's also saying Zen,
but we don't know.

But it's been a forced alliance.

I feel that Nash is playing wild,
unpredictable.

He's like a caged animal.

What do you think?

Ursula's good, Kristin's good,
PD is good.

OK? Yeah?

Yeah.

I love this.
Look what's happening at camp.

I am controlling the tribe.

It is so exciting.

Why?

And we just want to, like...

It's always scary when you don't
know who someone would want out.

Like, I actually don't know
who you'd want out.

Who do you think I want out?
I don't know.

Every single person, including me,
will be voting for Candy.

I'm good all around.

There is a chance that Nash is
cocky enough to not play his idol.

Bring this on.

And if he doesn't use it,
he's going home.

Are ya?

Nash flashing his idol

forced all of us to play
the game of Survivor

pretty quickly, too quickly.

If we're going to flush,
we have to split it.

Nash's idol needs to be flushed,
or he needs to go home.

And we need to be smart
about how we split those votes.

Do we have five people willing to
be, like, "Done. Voting for Nash"?

Big-time.
Yeah.

Totally.

Plan number one
is to flush the idol,

so Nash needs
some numbers on him.

But then after that,
who's going to go home?

It's so tricky.

No, Neither do I.

And that she's the only one
that doesn't reply

whenever we ask a group question.

For me, Ursula is a huge threat.

She's quiet, she listens,
and she's in Nash's back pocket.

We're solid. That's what we're...
100%.

Yeah.

If we can't get rid of Nash,
we need to weaken him somehow.

And I think Ursula is a weak spot.

Yeah.

I like the confident,
borderline arrogant Nash

that really gets out there

and is loud and proud on the
moves that he wants to make.

Then if they ask, what do we say?
It is what it is.

But to flush an idol on Survivor
is absolutely critical,

because if it gives another player
an advantage over you,

I think there's no other
sensible option ahead of

flushing that idol out.

We'll just keep our heads down
and stay quiet.

My purpose is simple -
make sure that it's played.

Beyond that, Ursula's name's come up
for the split vote.

OK.

So, PD and Zen...

..they're both really smart players.

They don't wanna go with
the minority.

The numbers are on this side.

Nash is so arrogant, he has no idea.
It'll hit him hard.

So, PD and Zen flipped.

The numbers are on this side.

We are splitting the votes
tonight on Nash and Ursula.

Nash has no idea. It'll hit him hard.

No. No way. What?
No!

No, no, no, no, no, no.

Oh! No chance.

Why?

Where the (BLEEP) did that name
come from?

More water?

I saw her.

That's got me angry.

Urs. Ursula.

Ursula.

Ursula is part of my team.
She's part of my alliance.

I have to keep her safe.

Your name's been thrown around.
I just found out.

No, because they think
that you and I are tied.

I know that, so I've got
to look for an idol.

Let's... I'll look for you.
Let's go.

Trust me, I've got your back.
You don't need to worry.

It's all well and good for him
to run around and say that

while he's got an idol
around his neck.

There's nothing, hey?

But I need to keep myself
safe from the votes.

I will always go in fighting.

Thanks for that.

I know the name that Nash
is putting out there.

Who is it?

Oh, no, no.

Don't panic, Candy.
Don't panic.

Don't panic.
Do not panic.

Yes.

I'm pretty sure.

If he does, then he goes.

I have no idea what Nash
is going to do with his idol.

I think that he might just
be arrogant enough not to play it.

Don't panic. Don't panic.
I don't know.

If you feel yourself start to panic,
pull us away and we'll chat.

We've got the numbers,

but if Nash goes home
with his idol, mwah.

NASH: Ursula's on the chopping block,
but I need Candy out.

I'll use every single thing
I've learned the last 20 years

to make sure Candy goes home.

I've been in sales, so I know
how to close a big deal.

Yes.

Are you happy? Candice?
Are you happy?

Yeah?

I'm trusting you.
I need your number.

Candice? Yeah?

Knowing it's the first vote,

my anxiety levels
are through the roof.

The plan was always to
flush Nash's idol,

and then the split vote
will go on Ursula,

and she'll be collateral damage.

But he is dangerous.

Yes.

I don't want to be aligning
with someone like Nash,

as I don't like his morals.

And I really want to keep
playing with Ben and Noonan,

Paulie and Jesse.

But Nash did imply that I would be
next if I didn't vote with him,

which absolutely scared me.

Just have to make a decision
as to whether to go for Candy...

..or Ursula.

Yeah.

One, two, three, four.
Everybody else...

Is on Nash.
..on Nash.

Nash, Nash, Nash.

Mm-hm. OK.

Locked in Nash.

It really feels like over the first
few days I was hit by a bus

and Nash was driving it.

Are you enjoying this chaos
you created?

Oh, it's so much fun.

I don't want to play the Nash
over-the-top chaotic game.

I've got my alliance. We're tight.

Yeah.

So, our plan is to get rid of Nash
or get rid of his idol.

The Nash rash be gone.

NASH: First tribal council,
it's going to be an easy vote out.

There will be no ifs and buts.

People are just going to run
with the Candy vote and move on.

There's no-one else.

I'm sure Ursula's safe,
and I know I'm safe tonight.

Nothing's going to happen to me.

I can sell anything to anyone,
so I'm not playing my idol tonight.

Look at this.

Evening.

JLP.

Behind each of you is a torch.

Go ahead, grab one.

Come forward, dip it in
and get fire.

This is part of the ritual
of tribal council,

because in this game,
fire represents your life.

Once it's gone, so are you.

Alright, so, Nash, barely
24 hours into the game,

you walk into the challenge today
wearing your idol.

And from where I was standing,
that was a big move.

Was that the intention?

You gotta make big moves
in this game.

I'm not here to hide it.
That's it, it's out there.

It's certainly out there.

It's out there, alright.

So, did everyone else know
about it before you arrived?

Or was that the first time
the tribe had seen it?

No. I found it within the first
five minutes we walked into camp.

That's got to be a record.
It is a record.

We knew six minutes in.

You knew six minutes in?
Yeah.

I wore it proud. Zen was
with me with me when I found it.

Whether he was going to tell
everyone or not, I didn't know.

Noonan, if you happened
to stumble across an idol,

would you be so open with it,
like Nash has been?

Ah, I think I'd keep my tongue
a little bit tighter than Nash.

But I think Nash's intentions
from the get-go

were to force us
to play straightaway.

So, we were on our toes.
We played the little Nash game.

He was the star,
and we were all like puppets.

He started the engine
and we had to take off.

So, Candy, typically in this game,
if you find an idol,

you're going to keep it to yourself.

You know, maybe you'll share it
with some close allies,

rarely are you going to show
the rest of the tribe.

You're certainly not going
to show the OTHER tribe.

Do you think Nash
has overplayed his hand?

It's a bold move. I wonder if you
regret it now. Do you regret it now?

No, I don't regret nothing.
No, OK.

You don't?
Nah. No chance.

No regrets?
Nuh.

So, Paulie, Nash has just punched
the accelerator, day one.

Do you think he's got enough gas
in the tank to make it to day 47?

No.
No?

No.
That's it.

Like, I'm struggling to understand
what the move was.

Like, now you've put it out there

for everyone to see,
all we're gonna do is flush it.

When you walk into a game like this,
you got to expect you're a target.

You know what?

If you don't play from day one,
you shouldn't be here, to be honest.

So, Zen, you were there
when Nash found the idol.

What do you make
of this grand gesture?

When we were there, he showed me
straightaway.

"Look. Found this."

And then and there,
that builds trust.

But it's also like, "Why are you
showing me within five minutes,

"ten minutes of meeting each other?"

To me, I was like, "I don't
know if it's a smart play."

So, Zen, what do you think Nash
is going to do with it tonight?

We really don't know, Jonathan.

OK, so, Nash,
if you're into big moves,

then the bolder move here is
not playing it at all tonight.

What do you think
I should do with it?

It's not up to me. You don't have
to tell me what you're gonna do.

I've told them,
"I'm going to use it tonight."

You're gonna use it?

You just don't know.

The vote's going one way.

It's going one way.
It's simple as that.

Care to tell us which way
it is going?

The same way that everyone knows.
It's going to be sweet and easy.

So, Nash, everyone knows
what's going on?

About 90%.

I do know that my name
was on the chopping block,

so I can't be the 10%
that doesn't know.

I told Ursula she was on
the chopping block, too.

Wow, Ursula, you're on
the chopping block, too.

I am.
Heard her name.

So, Morgan, do you know
what's going on tonight?

I got two names,

and I'm still trying to figure out
what's going on. (LAUGHS)

So the two names you have
are Candy and Ursula?

Yeah.

OK, so, Ursula, why have you two
ended up on the chopping block?

Potentially because Candy
may not be able

to bring the best to challenges.

Oh.

And for myself,
I think it might be...

..relationships haven't been built
with certain people in the tribe.

OK, so, Candy, Ursula's saying
that you're not really an asset

in challenges moving forward.

How would you respond to that?

There's so many different kinds
of challenges in this game.

There's going to be challenges
where even being little can help.

I can also bring quite a lot
to challenges as well.

I mean, I can throw a bit
of weight around.

I can probably throw a little
bit more than most men, actually.

So...I mean, they should keep me
because I'm strong.

I definitely think I can give a lot
more to challenges physically,

and some of the votes
that were going on Nash

could potentially go on Candy,

and I could potentially stay
and help you win.

So it's not too late
to change your vote.

Don't waste a vote on me.

It's as simple as that.

Alright, well, it is time to vote.

Alright, it is time to vote.

Nash, you're up.

Sorry but your social game
was just too slow for me.

You're a great person. You're just
a casualty of Nash's arrogance.

I'll go count the votes.

Alright, if anyone has an idol
and they'd like to play it,

now would be the time to do so.

Oh.

Let's use this bad boy.

For me, please.

For you?

I can confirm this is an idol,

and any votes cast for Nash
will not count.

I'll read the votes.

First vote...

..Nash, does not count.

Nash. Does not count.

Nash. Does not count.

Candy.
That's one vote Candy.

Candy.

Candy.

Ursula.

Three votes Candy, one vote Ursula.

Ursula.

Three votes Candy, two votes Ursula.

Ursula.

We're tied.

Three votes Candy,
three votes Ursula.

Ursula.

Candy.

Oh!
What?

We're tied again.

Four votes Candy, four votes Ursula.

One vote left.

First person voted out of Australian
Survivor: Brains Versus Brawn...

..Candy.

Oh.

You need to bring me your torch.

Candy, the tribe has spoken.

That's it. Time for you to go.

Bye, everyone.
See you, Candy.

There's gonna be some chats
on the way. Hmm.

Well, this tribe
has really set the tone

of big moves, bold plays,
and pure chaos.

Grab your torches, head back to camp.
Goodnight.

This season...

Go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go.

..strength...

..and strategy...

How did Nash get in there?

..will go head-to-head.

Can these powerful players...

Oh! Hard hit in the middle.

..survive against the
most cunning adversaries?

You (BLEEP) me over,
I will come and find you.

In the ultimate rematch...

I can cry pretty easily.

..who will be...

Can I just say one thing?
Stop talking.

..sole survivor?

I am the praying mantis.
My plan is to slowly eat him alive.

It's definitely not
how I wanted it to go.

Everyone's worst Survivor dream
is, like, going home first.

I'm sad that it was me.
I'm still a bit confused.

My first thought was that Nash
had gone around and plotted

and people listened to Nash,
which is crazy.

I was not expecting things to get
so crazy this early on in the game.

Nash is a wild card.

Game on, baby.
