Welcome to one of the most beautiful and exotic locations

in the world, the Philippines.

Thousands of islands connected by Pacific waters, each one home

to bays and forests teeming with all kinds of creatures,

both beautiful and dangerous.

It is here where 18 South Africans have begun the adventure

of a lifetime.

Welcome to Survivor South Africa Philippines.

In this basket, individually wrapped parcels.

Grab one the one with your name on it.

If your buff is red, your tribe name is Luzon.

Luzon.

Blue buffs? You're Mindanao.

Red tribe on the side.

Blue Tribe on this side.

In case you were wondering, this is it.

We are game on.

Take a good look around.

These are your new tribe mates, for better or worse.

Blonde lady in the front. What's your name?

Chane. How you feeling, Chane?

Very excited.

I just want to jump right in.

My nerves are shattered.

What am I thinking doing this?

Can I do it?

Guy in the suit. Marthunis.

Marthunis.

Being a member of Mensa was something

that changed my life completely.

It was one of the first steps towards me

finding out that I'm different from everybody else.

It's nothing for me to be under pressure because I've been under

it my whole life.

Behind you, the gentleman, the glasses. What's your name?

My name is Werner, or Weris.

OK, Weris. How you feeling?

What's going on in my heart at this moment.

It's about to explode.

What about the lady in front of you? What's your name?

Murishca. Murishca? Murishca.

You look nervous.

Do I? Mm-hmm.

I'm just more nervous that you wouldn't be able

to pronounce my name back to me.

But I'm not nervous. Not at all.

Can you pronounce my name?

Yeah. Nico.

No, the other part. Panagiotopoulos.

Oh!

I'm giving away the fact that I'm a major fan.

Fortunately, I've got a difficult name, so I'm relying on that for

people not to remember my name when it comes to Tribal Council

and think, "Er, how do you spell it? Oh, leave it."

"Go for the easy person."

At the back with the hat. What's your name?

Tom.

What are you thinking, Tom?

Excited that I'm not the only bald elk on my team.

That's what's important.

I don't have the speed but I think I've got the strength

and the stamina to outlast the youngsters.

Being older, at 55, I think I have a little bit of wisdom

to actually out-think some of them.

You guys ready to get to your first challenge?

Here's how it's going to work. On this boat, referred

to by the Filipino people as a Bangka

we've stashed some valuable items, things that'll help you get

by over the next 39 days.

Some of them have short term value.

Others will be more useful in the long run.

In addition, you have two stations, one for each tribe where

you have to choose between two sets of items.

You pick one.

You leave the other.

You have two minutes to gather up as much as you can

and get it onto your rafts.

One thing you will not find on this boat is, possibly the most

important of all, rice,

a very precious commodity.

There are two bags of that on the island, perched perfectly on top

of two wooden structures, one for each tribe.

Here's the thing.

Only one tribe gets to keep their rice.

Of course, that would be the tribe that gets there first,

the tribe that wins this challenge.

So, Mindanao, Luzon playing for reward.

- Survivors ready? - Yeah.

Your two minutes starts...

OK.

Coming through!

Whoa, whoa, whoa! Spear gun, spear gun.

The first thing that I grabbed was a pair of fins,

a mask and a spear gun.

Tom! Tom, Tom, Tom!

And I think I can provide, if I get the opportunity to.

Right. Come on. We're nearly there! Let's go, let's go.

Luzon making quick work of getting stash on the boat.

We've got bread rolls, which will last about 30 seconds in this game.

Watch your head!

Everyone was just grabbing. Everyone was throwing.

Someone else got into the wrong raft.

It was just a little bit of mayhem.

I'm on the wrong bloody boat! But, hey, you're in the wrong boat, baby.

Oh! I jumped on their raft and then

had to ninja jump over to my raft.

Crazy moments.

30 seconds left

and then you need to make your way.

Is that fishing gear?

Marthunis, check the fishing.

Fishing gear. Fishing gear.

I was thinking definitely the chickens, but my tribe went

for the fishing gear, so I had to comply.

Just start rowing.

2 minutes off.

Go, go, go!

Yeah, she's got it! Go!

One... You're amazing!..two... Go! Go! Go!

..three...

Go, Neil! Go, Neil!

I've come here to try and be as competitive as I can be,

physically, as a woman.

I'm definitely not intimidated by a male.

Elbow grease. Elbow grease.

And row, and row. You've got to row from the front! And row...

It's working.

It's time to turn it, boss.

..and row. And row...

Marthunis, I'll do it in the water once we get there.

Mindanao, first tribe on the beach!

Make sure that your raft is thethered

and your whole tribe is on the mat before you move.

Go! Go! Go!

You've got to keep making your way up.

A human pyramid.

I've got the food. I've got the food.

Luzon is on now, making their way to the beach.

Telling your raft.

Make sure you're all on the mat before you move, Luzon.

You are still in this game.

Move, hustle, hustle!

Mindanao making short work of that bag.

Katinka, fast finger work there,

trying to get that rice off before Luzon.

Katinka struggling with those knots.

Luzon, now, on their bag.

Chane, now, untying the knot for Luzon.

Undo it, Katinka.

We've got you, don't worry, we've got you.

I've got it, I've got this one, I've got this one.

Wait, stay stable! Stable!

Mindanao getting close.

Mindanao wins the challenge and wins the reward.

Yes! Well done.

We're good. We're good.

Mindanao, you win this challenge.

That means you get the reward, the rice.

Let's see if you can make a fire to cook it.

The maps to your camps.

Here we go.

And for you.

Grab your stash and head on back to your camps.

Guys, our new home!

Yeah.

Let's go have a look around and find a...

Guys, we need to do shelter.

We don't have time.

I won't be able to hide the fact that I am loud and outspoken,

so I'll probably move up into the leadership role very quickly.

Look, guys, we've got water!

Who is this brother in suits

What is he doing?

Look, you're what? Tevin, what do you do?

Doctor. Doctor? You're a doctor? Wow!

I am a 24-year-old medical doctor.

My thing is to never expose my actual gameplay to anyone.

I will not tell anyone the truth about what I'm actually thinking

or what I really want to do within this game.

Who's an architect? Jeanne?

Any architects around here?

I study form.

We need somebody who can analyse houses.

I'm a Biokineticist.

I studied to be a Biokineticist

but I am a full time Pastor at a church.

Biokinetics. I can help with muscles that are stiff and stuff.OK.

I will not disclose that to the contestants

because that will butcher me.

It's as simple as that.

Snake!

Snake! Where? Snake.

Where?

In the tree.

I'm going to kill it. No!

It'll go away. You don't have to kill it.

No, no, no.

I love snakes, but I'm not sitting on an island and dying.

I've got a family at home.

Could you kill it? That colour is the one that kills you colour.

Stop talking about it.

Look away if you don't want to see it.

He's taking the limelight so...

Right off the bat, Marthunis makes me very suspicious.

This could either be the way he's playing the game strategically.

Maybe he thinks if he pisses us off, we'll keep him till the end.

Or maybe he just doesn't interact well with others.

So, I told every single member of this tribe that Marthunis did find

something and put it into his back pocket.

When I got to the top, I saw him do something with his pocket.

Then he immediately turned around and told me,

"There's nothing here. It's fine."

And then he ran off...

Ladies dinner in an hour.

..but he left all the food, which means, he went up there

for one thing only, to find the clue in the leaves.

So you think he found something? Yeah.

That's a lie. I didn't see him put anything into his back pocket.

No, it was even those things that he left.

Good to know. Good to know.

Thank you.

I need them to be as suspicious, if not more.

He needs go home with the fricking clue in his pocket.

They all really think he's got a clue or an idol, right?

So it's working very well.

Probably need to carry some of the things that way

so that they can see what we...

..what we have here.

The boys are taking charge

of building the shelter.

That's absolutely no problem.

We'll focus on other stuff.

Yeah, we'll see.

My boyfriend watches this thing all day, so he must know.

I can't do a lot of stuff, but I can do this.

Where do you want this?

No, no, no.

The guys don't have to tell you anything.

You just can make decisions, right?

Alpha males do not run this place.

I am, literally, going to come across

as a man-hater on this show.

Oh, well!

Less talking and more doing, please.

A bunch of personalities, I'm feeling yeah.

Because a rectangle is going to pull it this way so it can't pull.

It can't... I hear you... once we've got a rectangle.

I mean, at the moment we need guys.

Any time a guy wants to convince you to vote off a woman,

let's just try and divert it rather than...

Yeah, cos they might want a camp with all boys.

We have enough guys on production yeah, can I go gather?

Can I go together?

I want to get stuff so I can see if there should be

something on the island, like an idol or a clue.

Can I explain to you guys what we're going to do?

So everyone knows what's happening.

Ladies. Let's call everyone.

Just... Just come on, quickly.

No, no, that's fine.

I don't know what they're doing, but no-one is following me

and I've got carte blanche.

So I started digging around one tree, another tree...

And these ones are going to go like this.

Got it? OK.

From here...

The third tree I dig, there, in a leather pouch,

there's some kind of letter.

Congratulations.

Found a clue to a hidden immunity idol, but to find that,

you need to be daring.

There's a picture of a platform, and underneath there

will be an idol given.

If tree mail comes with a message that says, "Balance", then I know

that that is a challenge where I need to be awake.

Awesome. I'll decide if I have to hang on to this.

But for now, I'll just put it where it's safe.

I'm just elated.

I wish I could just phone my wife and say,

"Baby, you will not believe where I am!"

It's insane.

First day on Survivor is a lot like

losing your virginity.

A hell of a nervous, but mostly excited,

and the only thing on your mind is you hope you last longer

than you thought.

Go, Seamus! Yeah.

You know what? Let's map where we're going to build. Right?

I think this is where we're building. We need to find out

where the water is, as well.Yeah.

We went straight to planning.

Everybody's scared of being the boss because the boss is always

the first oke to go.

Top dog? Well, he thinks he's top dog.

Definitely, Tom.

I suppose you done this before?

Yeah, once or twice.

Let's roll him over.

I just see alpha males and I'm like... you know?

But it's fine.

Dynamite comes in small packages.

I think we should be facing happy.

You just want the ocean...

Ocean view while you're doing this. ..ocean view.

Ace is a total misfit in the game.

I don't know what skills he brings.

I haven't seen anything yet.

So, what can I do? Cos I'm just...

You must take them back.

Well, I'm chopping them. You can take them back.

OK. It's good.

Tom is definitely taking charge because he knows more

and everyone is looking to him for his advice.

Where are you from, Tom?

Port Elizabeth.

And yourself?

Bloemfontein. Oh, yes, you're the Bloem girl.

Yeah, I know.

I just turned left.

I am pretty happy to go with you to the merge and beyond.

I've got a really, really good vibe from you.

What I like about Ace is that he just seems

like he's a really down-to-earth guy.

And I think I'm quite a good judge of character.

I think for you, you are someone that I know your word means a lot

to you, and I'll just get a really, really good vibe with you.

And I can tell that you're loyal... Yes... and I'm telling you now,

like, I won't lie to you... OK. 100%.

The both of us are the only people that we've both said.

You are the person that is my number one ally.

I have honestly haven't really spoken alliance to anybody.

And Josie, 100%, I'm with you.

Yeah. Right till the end.

He's got huge potential to make it to the merge if he can just get

on top of the nerves and sort out his emotions.

I'm telling you now, I honestly trust you to the end 150%,

because I can see that you're that kind of person as well.

And that's a big thing. That's all.

I feel very confident in what we have. OK.

You are safe, I promise you.

This is going to take forever, Tom.

Seamus for me, is playing an individual game already.

He's moving aside.

There is some heavy lifting to be done and he should play

his part instead of just constantly disappearing.

I live just outside of Cape Town in Somerset West, but I was born

in Durban, so we go...

I'll tell you nothing's changed. Is it?

I really like his energy.

I think he's a good guy, both from Durban originally,

so him and I bonded,

but it's early days.

I work in media as a travel copywriter.

I'm not here to make friends.

I don't care about what they do for a living

or how many kids they have.

I don't give a rat's whatever.

Sorry I didn't get your name. Annalize.Seamus.Seamus.

Where's Josie and Seamus?

I don't know where they went.

You think for the first vote, strength would be the right way to go?

Yeah, definitely. I think so, too.

I think before we get too deep into strategy,

let's get the shelter done.

Let's get that done and then see how it all pans out.

I don't trust Seamus, but saying that,

I'm definitely his friend...

..for now.

What's your feelings for her?

She likes getting on my nerves, but we'll see how that goes.

Yeah, yeah. Same here.

What about the Indian guy? Ace?

Yeah, I haven't quite figured him out, yet.

You know, the first vote's going to be on strength, and I think

no-one's going to align with Ace necessarily.

So if you want to take control of the game early,

you might need to bring them in and blindside someone

on the opposing alliance and then take them out next.

Then if he does have his neck on the chopping block and I manage

to blindside someone else and save him, then

I'm guaranteed his votes at the next tribal.

Jeez, bro! Yeah, but doing that will give us control.

I think every villain needs a minion, and I think Ace

is going to be the first one.

I'm feeling very anxious because this is too early.

It's the first day!

I think me could... Yeah, man, let's do it!..and that's it.

See, I think we're wasting the bamboo.

No, no, no. The bamboo is the last thing.

You stop putting that stuff up here, the whole thing's going to come.

Why is everyone arguing so much about, like...?

I'm just focussing on that roof over there.

People are just a bit worried that it's getting late and we don't have

our shelter up yet.

Dude, my bed at home is this size.

But I think I want to make it too big for now.

Yeah, it's way too deep.

You guys, the way things look right now, you're looking,

sleeping on rats.

That's how it looks.

I think we'll make it.

How many people fit in this space?

I'm not cuddling with anyone.

If we all do a little spooning, we'll be fine.

I will hold until it's tomorrow morning,

but I'm not sleeping with anyone.

We are going to snuggle tonight!

Mommy's going to snuggle with you, boy.

Hold them back, ladies.

Hold them back.

You guys are all jokes.

I actually cannot explain to you how dark

it is when night falls.

We don't have a fire.

We weren't prepared. We didn't have our stuff around.

There was stuff everywhere.

We were tripping over things. Should have noticed.

This place was an accident waiting to happen.

So the worst night of my life is starting to happen.

This headache is not going away.

I'll start vomiting.

Poor Marthunis.

I really think he's living in pretty bad shape.

Oh.

If I have to make it to the next night,

they're going to find my corpse here.

If Marthunis was a patient in the hospital right now,

we'd triage him as a green code patient because he's stable.

There's nothing wrong with him.

Marthunis, how you doing? He's bad.

The problem is, is that because he's so dehydrated,

he's got no energy.

Right now, he's stable, he's fine,

but he's dramatic.

At this moment, I'm not even thinking about winning anymore.

Let me just survive this day.

Hopefully, there's no challenge because I'm going to be stuffed.

The whole time he's been looking fine.

Like he's been staring wide eyed.

And then when I go to examine his eyes, he does this...

Once we told him, he's fine,

he snapped back to normal in an instant.

Suspicious.

As we're coming up for water I'm going to check for tree mail.

I don't know if I want it to be or not? Ya-ha!

No, I know, but it's gone skewed so I'm just going to do that.

Guys! We have tree mail!

Oh, no, that means we're going to have to do something.

Yeah! Our first mail.

This is so exciting.

Super exciting.

Ropes and sticks is what you'll need.

The key is locked away.

To win immunity add some speed make some fire to stay.

Argh! Add some speed.Immunity. We'll need stick and rock.

I think it's one of those where you have to make that long

stick and hook, hook through the thing.

Go in and make a fire.

I'm very shocked about the amount of knowledge other

castaways have got.

I think I'm probably last with the amount

of knowledge of Survivor.

We can make this fire.

You made it in 90 seconds.

I see.

I'm quoting you right, guys.

I'm at fire.

I promised myself that when I got to Survivor,

I would never put my hand up

to be that person who's going to end the challenge.

But I did that challenge.

We're burning through the string.

It took me four minutes.

From... From magnesium, flint,

go, make the fire burn through the string.

Took me four minutes.

And surprise, surprise, Jeanne and I are the only one that's

really practised making fire with the flint.

Look, these two people have practised this,

so they rather do it.

I'll do it.

Add some speed, make some fire to stay. Fire-making challenge.

Immunity, guys!

The games begin.

The fire has to go up enough to actually burn a rope.

There are two fire-makers right there.

Tom and Ace we are allowing you guys as our fire-making people.

This is an ideal opportunity for me to prove myself to

my tribe members because, up until now, they've seen me as

the underdog, the weakest guy in the in the team.

I've got a good feeling we're going to win this.

The people we chose for the fire-making challenge

was no mistake.

If we lose the challenge, the tribe will always turn to those people

and go, "You messed it up."

Which is great for me because it's not me.

Ace is totally unprepared for this game.

Fire is one of the most difficult things to do,

but he confidently says, "I can make fire."

So go ahead, expose yourself.

Being a survivalist adds a hell of a lot of pressure in this game.

If you're the person that believes he knows, then show us.

Come on in, guys.

Luzon, how did you guys enjoy your first night on Survivor Island?

We didn't sleep.

There wasn't enough space for all of us, so we all laid,

squished and then it started raining.

Mindanao, what about your tribe?

How was your first night?

It was fun. We had a lot of time to bond

and get to know one another, but it was rough.

None of us were surprised that we didn't have a fully built shelter.

We didn't have fire.

Well, that makes sense.

Fire is one of the most important elements. We take it for granted.

That's what this challenge is all about.

You guys ready to get to your first tribal immunity challenge?

Yes.

Here's how it's going to work. On my "Go!" four tribe members

from each tribe, two at a time, will make your way out

to the structures in the water to retrieve bags and sticks,

which the next two tribe members will use to construct a pole.

One of you will take that pole, move to the cage where you'll retrieve

a key, unlock the padlock that gives you access to the cage

and the flint inside.

You take that flint and make your way to the last station

where you're two fire makers will come and build a fire

which needs to burn high and hot enough to break the twine.

Releasing a torch.

You take that torch, light it in the fire.

The first tribe to set the Survivor logo alight,

wins this challenge and tribal immunity.

This is what you're playing for.

Immunity.

If you have this, you are safe from Tribal Council.

In addition to this, you're playing for fire in the form

of a fire making kit.

So you win this you are safe from Tribal Council.

Losers?

You have a date with me there where one of you will be the first

person voted out of this game.

You guys ready to get to this? Yeah.

Luzon, Mindanao playing for tribal immunity and fire.

Survivors ready?

Yep.

Go!

Marthunis sprinting, Seamus sprinting.

Seamus the first one to pull up.

Marthunis hot on his tracks.

They're making their way up that structure.

The two ladies, now, on the structure as well.

Seamus, in the water for Luzon.

Marthunis, close behind.

Keep it dry!

Go, baby!

Come on, Josie!

Go, Vusi!

Vusi, now, on the structure for Luzon looking on that last bag.

Werner's untying his bag for Mindanao.

Annalize, making her way up for the last parcel, the sticks.

Annalize making her way up to the beach.

Luzon taking a definite lead in this challenge.

Werner's struggling with the knot on that last bag, that final bag.

And the string? You got the string?

We need the string. We need the string. Rope?

Go, go, go! Go back for the string.

Annalize, left the string behind on the platform.

She has to go back.

Go, go, go, girl!

Werner losing time for his tribe.

Both of them. Both. Both of them.

Annalize now bringing back the string for her tribe.

Wernie's still struggling with these bags.

He had a chance to catch up the lead and he is gone.

The rain is coming down and they have to make fire.

Mindanao have the bag!

Get in the water.

Get over here, Wernie.

Come on! Come on! Run, run, run.

He's coming. He's coming.

{n1}THEY SHOUT ENCOURAGEMENT

Luzon now working on constructing the pole.

Mindanao, waiting in anticipation for that last bag.

Come, buddy, come, come, come.

Go, go, go! It doesn't have to be that far.

Tony starting to assemble for Mindanao.

Come on, guys! Come on, guys!

Only two people constructing on those poles.

Join them. Join them. Join them.

Luzon, only two people at your station.

The other person standing by to go with the bowl to the cage.

Good job, ladies. Good teamwork.

Take your time and build a sturdy pole.

It'll work when you're trying to retrieve that key.

If it's too flimsy, it'll break, you'll waste time.

Make sure it's sturdy and strong.

Guys, look, they're going to go like that.

They're going to go with that because he's got a long arm.

Just take it. Just take it.

You guys are doing well.

Is this enough, do you think?

Get back. Get back. Neil, get back

Neil! Get back.

Leave it. It's fine, it's fine.

You got this, guys.

Go, go, go, go, go.

Go, Neil, go, go, go!

PK and Neil making their way to the cages.

PK slow.

Make love to the cage, like, be nice and everything.

Neil has the key for Luzon.

PK struggling with a flimsy pole.

Open the lock.

PK has his keys.

Neck and neck in this challenge.

Neil is in the cage.

Go, fire-makers!

Oh, yeah.

Come on.

Come on.

The flame again.

Come on.

Where's the flint? It's on the table.

Don't move stuff. Don't move stuff.

You guys can make fire.

This is a tough task for both tribes

who have to make fire in the rain.

It's lit. It's lit, babe.

Magnesium. More Magnesium.

Keep the tinder as dry as possible.

Don't tell them what to do, they've got this. More magnesium.

Slow and steady.

Don't panic. Go ahead and do it.

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

Here we go. Here we go.

There's smoke! Mindanao has smoke.

Luzon, still struggling.

He's watching by carefully.

Guys, Tom is not that good at making fires.

Stay calm. Keep going. Keep going.

Very good, Tom, very good.

We have fire at Mindanao.

Mindanao now are in the lead.

Go, go, go, go.

Come on, guys. Their fire isn't high enough, yet.

We can still do it.

You can still do it.

No, no, no. Don't feed it, don't get like that.

Not doing it.

Mindanao are moments away.

Yes. They're not quite there, yet.

There we go, there we go.

They're getting wet. They are done, bros, they are wet.

Tom, frustrated.

There we go. There we go.

Remember, you never stop in this game.

You never give up.

Anything can happen.

Keep that spark going.

Keep that spark going.

Blow, yes, yes.

Smoke coming from Luzon's fire-making station.

Let's have fire! Let's have fire!

We need this. Nice one. That's it. That's how we do it.

That's how we do it. Keep it like that.

Oh, we're eating rice tonight, ladies. Keep going.

Keep the fire going. Ace, it doesn't help if you just stare at the fire.

It's not going to happen.

Ace! Empty the bag.

Ace, come again.

Blow it.

Keep your hands out of the way. It's going.

Mindanao, wins the challenge, wins the tribal immunity.

Mindanao, congratulations.

You win this challenge.

That means this is yours.

Jeanne, I bet you can't wait to get your hands on that.

Tribal immunity,

that means you are safe from Tribal Council.

In addition, reward in the form of a fire making kit.

Here we go, PK.

Eating today.

Mindanao, grab your stuff.

Head off to your camp.

Luzon, I've got nothing for you except a date with me

at Tribal Council.

One of you will be the first to be voted out of,

Survivor South Africa, Philippines.

Grab your stuff. Head back to your camp.

On the count of three,

Mindanao.

One, two, three...

Mindanao!

I don't think I've ever been more ecstatic

with anything in my life.

That was intense, guys.

That pressure almost made me vomit today.

I'm going to sleep with this under my head at night.

And you like religion?

I think Jeanne is starting to really think

she controls this tribe.

But I'm saying, in terms of how we played today, there was no flaw

and we got into little hitches along the way,

but we didn't... we didn't... We could do it again, hey!

We did well, guys.

I think did the excitement, the ego can really get fed.

It just went even higher, like literally shot up to the roof.

It was amazing. But that was not an easy challenge.

And I love that we beat Tom, who we like to joke

about him being a mountain man

and I looked at their fire at the end and I was like,

"What a... what a hump of mess!"

Keep going. Add the stuff.

Nice one.Yeah.We did it again.

Again! Now we just have to keep it going for 39 days.

No pressure. No pressure.

No pressure. Yeah.

From the beginning, Ace hasn't really shown

he's actually in the game.

And, actually, he's got the capability to win the game

and it showed today.

Not really making much of a contribution.

So he's the target for tonight's Tribal Council.

Yeah.

What ***ed me off was the fact that he was watching.

Ace didn't make much of a contribution today, and I think

it's actually part of the reason why we lost the challenge.

So I'm thinking that Ace should be the guy.

Well, Ace was the first name that came up.OK.

Done. Thank god, it's done.

After discussing with everybody

our plan forward is, erm, tonight at Tribal Council,

it'll be Ace that gets voted off.

And then this team needs to build itself again.

That Tribal coming up soon,

it's interesting how everything's sort of just initiated.

I've had a couple of conversations myself.

Yes... which is a huge thing for me,

he's not someone who's going to flip.

..cos I mean, not all the challenges are physical.

I mean, fire making... Yeah... you know.

I'm thinking, Tom.

Hit Tom with a blind side.

He's a strong competitor.

He's a very likeable guy.

Socially, he's the best in our tribe.

And I want to execute that as soon as possible.

I don't think this is the time.

You think it's too soon? Yes.

I mean, between myself, Vusi and Neil... OK.

..we can finish that structure.

We can get food.

So that's automatically five, we've got a majority.

But I think we tell him, we listen to him, we chat,

he's going to approach us and say, "What are you thinking?"

I think we say, "Logically, Ace."

We go along with it.Yeah.

Let's keep that story going.

And then we hit him with a blindside.

It stops us going public. I love it.

I'm in an alliance currently with Seamus and Annalize

and Josie and we're voting for Tom.

I see Tom as a friend and I don't feel it his time at all.

I spoke with Tom.

He said he spoke with you and you said, "Ace."

Yeah, we're all good.

But I think we sat with the girls and that we've come

up with a better idea.

What? We need to go for Tom tonight.

It's going to be a blind side.

Strength isn't really a factor.

It's more about trust and a name that came from Tom

and Neil was yours.

But I've chatted to the girls.

We're not happy with that.

We'd rather take Tom out.

Yeah, I was thinking Tom already.

Maybe Tom could be getting a slight blindside if he really believes

we'll be voting Ace.

In this alliance, I'm giving you my word.

You have my word and we'll see after the votes that we're both right.

Seamus, he assured me that he was with Palesa, Vusi,

as well as Annalize, Chane

and Josie against Tom, seven against two.

Tom and Neil being the two.

Do you all want to taste some of the coconut milk?

Yeah. There you go.

Remember, this game is so unpredictable that you might think

you know what's going on, but something else might be brewing.

And so it begins.

Hey, imagine other tribes face this.

This is your first chance

looking at a new tribe.

Tom you're deducted after last night's trial.

Guys in a few days time, we're going to be really good at fishing.Yeah.

Before we leave this island, we have to catch a fish.

At least something small.

Make fire, catch a fish.

Treat yourself.

And then win Survivor.

All the tribe is good, but it's like water heating up

and at some stage it's going to start to fizzle and boil.

Guys, let me help you out.

Yeah. That's why we put them here this morning.

I want to sleep warm tonight.

Like, seriously?

We could have easily done this in the first place.

That's why we decided to just use these sticks.

Guys, the rate you're going at there.

You guys spent, like, two hours doing that this morning.

Why did I waste my time doing all that?

If you're going to be using this. We're not wasting time.

PK!

Let's just keep going.

I'm trying to help so we can get all of this going. That's it.

PK throws his toys out the cot,

literally throws the hammer away,

storms off, and it looks like he goes and cries behind the tree.

I spent about two hours this morning doing that.

I know you've been working really hard on the shelter.

He's not the mayor here.

I don't know why he's acting like he's the mayor.

Part of me actually wishes that we'd lost this challenge so

we could send him home, you know,

because none of us would have to deal with him.

There's his bag. Let's just make sure.

Although I fabricated that story that Marthunis did find something,

I still thought he may have a clue.

So I wanted to make sure.

I'll keep an eye out.

So I'm going to check his swimming.

So it's fine.

We found a typed-up speech for when he is in the final three.

Survivor is the same as real life.

It's not necessary going through life, deceiving people, lying

to them and backstabbing them to get to where you want to be.

My wife and son is the most important thing in my life to me.

I'm feeling a bit bad now.

Well, this is a waste of time, it's not why we're here.

I immediately felt bad about that.

But this is the thing,

the fact that he's making us do this means he's done enough to

..to drive us crazy.

Put his speech away. Put his speech where you found it.

I do feel bad for going through his property only

because we didn't find anything.

Would I do it again? Yes, I would.

When I got back to the camp,

I realized that my bag

wasn't in the same position it was and the lid was off.

So I went to the guys and making the joke, I said,

"Look, if you're going to move my bag, at least put the bag"

"and the shoes the same place they were."

How do you know if someone went into your bag?

Because I can see you guys moved it, man.

Like, I'm not stupid.

Are you happy now to know that I don't have the idol.

Cos I knew you guys would do it.

Did you come in the game thinking that I'm not going to do it?

I had a shock, because if they were going through my bag,

they would find the clue.

I have to say, I misread you completely from day one.

To protect myself from a bomb exploding here,

I'm going to get rid of that clue.

If I have to eat it, I'll eat it.

I'm not going back to the camp, with that clue.

That clue does not exist.

Seamus craves a blindside, right? Yes.

He loves the game so much.

I'm just thinking, because if we're going to eventually throw him out

listen, this will be genius.Yes.

Because, just listen.

then we have Neil... You've got big balls, girl... we have Neil, we have Tom.

Yeah.

Then if you are on board... Definitely... and then me.

Yes. We need a fifth one.

Look, I have no loyalty after...

Just look around.

So Annalize is with me on this blindside.

If she gets Ace to come with us, we are five.

And then we get Seamus out.

And that's the blindside he was craving and bragging about

the whole time.

If we pull this off, it'll be amazing.

Love your work, girl.

Thank you.

Basically, right now, first, find out if Annalize could convince

Ace to come join us to vote Seamus off.

Where's Ace Ventura Pet Detective?

Pet Detective!

Ace Ventura.

If she did, I need to go out to Neil and Tom and tell them the plan,

because I don't know when Tribal Council begins.

He's drawing lines at the moment.

I spoke to Seamus. He approached me.

The problem with that is that I'm a bit sceptical about Seamus.

Yes, baby!

So, so let's pull a blindside tonight on 91.

This is damn awesome.

Why don't we do that?

He wants to play the game.

He wants to be the hero of Survivor.

But you can't be that ruthless, so,

Chane and I, Tom and Neil and you

we select Seamus.

So just know that if I give you my word.

That's my word.

What do they do?

Annalize wants Seamus gone.

Just because he is a strategic threat in the game.

Remember, timing is everything.

And if you give your moves away too soon, you will be falling

for a blindside.

Seamus is on my case.

So... On your case?..because he

I think he knows what's up.

So, listen, he formed an alliance with us and he said,

"No, we need to vote for you to go out."

And everyone was on board.

But I wasn't.

Er, no, that was a lie.

Just you and your fault.

That's the way we're going.

Look for fish, please.

But I got your back.

So it's you and Neil voting for Seamus.

I want to vote for Ace.

No, Seamus, we need to get him out.

That guy is a dodgy.

My name became the stronger candidate,

than, what, Ace's?

I didn't see that coming.

But that's Survivor.

You never see it coming.

And if you do, you're stupid to just sit around and do

nothing about it.

This was what we had shook on was that it was going to be Ace.

Yeah.

But a handshake is a handshake and this is the game.

Who do you have absolutely that you'd like to leave

I'd say, Neil,

Bloemi and Annie.

Tom approached me.

It turns out that two of my alliance members,

Chane and Annalize flipped on me.

Because if you got pulled on that many people, and so do I,

we're in a good place.

Honestly, I think we should have stuck with Ace.

I trust him, though, man. I really do.

Do you? I trust him and I want to take

an oke that I trust as far as I can.

As soon as I realized that Tom knew.

It sunk in.

And that first feeling of betrayal came about.

OK, well, let's go speak to our respective people.

Now that Tom knows that I'm going for him, I have to completely

change my plan.

So they're going for me tonight.

Who? We don't have enough numbers. Who knows?

If we've got Vusi, we've got the numbers.

Let's stick to it.

It's four of us so far.

I'm cool with it.

I think one thing we have to accept is that

Chane and Annalize have flipped. We can't let them back now.

Tom, I'm annoyed with him right now because he blabbed

my plan to Seamus.

This was, like, top secret.

And now it's a storm.

The four of us here are voting for Seamus.

Four? Oh, you are, as well.

Ace? I don't think Ace is going to swing, really.

We want Ace.

Ace, yeah, definitely.Yeah.

Obviously, you two and Vusi he seems to be in with us.

Ace, we need to get him out. Now.

No, no definitely.

Our first Tribal Council,

the first person voted out,

which initially was supposed to be me,

which shifted to Tom and now shifted to Seamus.

You can be the kingpin in this whole thing.

So you move from being almost like the person that was voted out.

You now actually become the kingpin.

You're actually the swing vote right now.

You are going to shake on this, right?

No, no, no, somebody's coming.

There's an alliance that's formed Annalize, Neil,

Tom and Chane.

But I could be in either of the two alliances at this moment.

I'll be broken if I'm voted out the first day.

I'll hide under a rock for a month.

I highly doubt it.

I highly doubt it.

I woke up early hours in the morning and everybody else

was sleeping except for Ace.

The man was in tears.

He was so torn between what he had said to Seamus and

what he said to me.

In a tough position, eh?

If he was just here to play a cunning and devious game,

that wouldn't have got to him so much.

That got to him because he's a decent man.

Do what you feel is in your heart.

Come here, bro.

Thank you.Yeah.

It's just a game.

People come. People go.

It's just a game.

Tom's a good guy and

voting him out is going to be difficult.

Last night.

I was a bit worried.

Felt vulnerable.

Yesterday was a hectic day because everyone is trying

to get the early alliance and all that stuff.

Right now, our tribe is divided into two alliances

and Ace is in the middle.

Seamus! I've got a clam here to give you. Really?

What you could do is squeeze some of that pineapple onto it

instead of lemon. Zero lemon.

And it's probably going to be something so lekker.

There we go. Great protein. Go!

Just tastes of pineapple

and salt.

Literally, the Ace that I don't have

up my sleeve is Ace.

But they needed a Seamus.

Reaching.

Anybody else want a piece?

When I vote for Tom tonight, it's pure strategy.

You didn't give me the guts, did you

No.

He's a threat. He's got to go. First one out.

I'm determined to make it tonight to Tribal Council.

I think I've got a lot more to show and a lot more to give.

All I need is a few more days.

When, and if, Tom stays in, he is unpredictable and he's coming

back with more power than he has at the moment.

With Seamus, we are 150%.

We know his exact plan of who he wants to get out,

and it doesn't involve you and me until the merge.

He thinks that you and I aren't his biggest opposition.

He thinks the big guys are.

I just think that he's someone that we know what's happening.

He's predictable, yeah.

Yeah. I think Ace is someone who's in a bit of a moral dilemma.

I'm hoping that I can help him stay with the plan

for my own game, but also for his.

I think it's a silly move if he goes over to Tom's side because.

He's going to be at the bottom of that alliance.

Up until now, I was certain who I was voting out

and now, all of a sudden,

the calm ship is not so calm anymore.

I'm going to go with the person who I think is the biggest threat

to my game at this moment.

Unfortunately, it is going to hurt a few people.

It is going to maybe separate people from me.

But it's a choice and a chance I'm willing to take.

Grab a torch, come light it in the fire.

As you know, in this game, fire represents your life.

As long as you have it, you are in the game.

Your flame goes out.

So do you.

Luzon.

Welcome to Tribal Council.

Palesa, we throw all kinds of things that you in this game.

Loads of challenges, sleep deprivation, hunger, lack of fire.

And, then, of course, you come to this place, Tribal Council.

Which of those is toughest for you?

The elements are really rough.

The mosquitoes are having me for all three meals of the day.

And I have bumps in places where bumps shouldn't be.

For what it's worth, I've been eaten by them as well.

Tom, how have you experienced things thus far?

I mean, you're used to roughing it, right?

Didn't think I'd be roughing it this much.

You know, you hear a lot of stories.

Don't believe any of them.

It's tough out there.

Much tougher than anyone believes until they get here.

Hell, yeah!

Chane.

How are you guys feeling right now?

What's the morale of the tribe?

We're all certainly anxious and nervous.

It's put a damper on our Kumbaya spirits.

We definitely didn't expect to be here this early in the game.

Seamus?

Big smile from you on the Kumbaya spirit.

Is it gone?

Yeah, I think so.

And as a matter of time, you know, as soon as we lost that immunity

challenge, you know, people started to have discussions.

And, I think, having that conversation, sooner rather than

later, boded well for an individual game.

There's only one survivor at the end of this.

And your game starts when you step on the island.

It is an individual game.

It certainly is.

But in stages.

Well, let's talk about tribal unity.

Annalize, a wry smile from you there.

It was a happy, happy family until we realized we had to come

here and unfortunately, someone has to go.

And it was a very, very tough decision.

Well, how do we get to that decision?

So we just kind of chatted and here and there and...

When you say we, who are we talking about?

Me and a few of the other tribe members.

So a few people have come to an agreement

that means that some are not part of that agreement. Josie?

Up until this point, I think we've all been hoping sneaky

that we were playing Friend Island and tonight it got really real

with it actually being Survivor and day one of playing the game.

Ace?

Yes.

How have things been for you on Friend Island?

The past day has been quite rough.

I've been tossed around.

Pushed around.

I honestly felt really nervous.

And as things progressed paranoia took effect.

Before I knew it, I was completely, completely confused.

That's what Survivor does to a person.

The fact is, when you have to go to Tribal Council, there's nothing

friendly about it.

We're all aware of that, right?

Neil?

The priority for me getting into play the game, the priority was

try to keep the tribe as strong as possible.

But out of that, I could see that a division was being created.

And when I found out how the division was being created,

I thought that was a negative for the tribe.

So a division has been created and you know

who created the division?

Well, from hearsay I know who created the division.

And that's just based on hearsay.

Hearsay is such a dangerous thing.

Well, Seamus' name has been bandied about

as somebody who's been approaching people.

I felt it was too early.

But the great thing about what Seamus has done,

he's brought people's characters forward so quickly.

And I will be the first one to say my original perceptions

of people have been absolutely wrong.

Even people I didn't perceive to be physical.

But now they're talking to me.

And right now I know so much more about this tribe

than I did when we sang Kumbaya.

Seamus, back home it takes us years to surround

ourselves with people that we trust.

You don't have that luxury here.

You need to get through that process very quickly.

How do you go about doing that?

At this stage in the game, trust is earned, and the only way

to earn that is to put pen to paper and place your vote.

Being the first Tribal Council for this tribe,

the way you vote is going to establish

the alliances going forward.

But the people I've confided in and have made plans with,

I entirely trust at this stage.

Tom, what are your criteria tonight when you cast your vote?

I think trust and honour is very important to me,

and I believe a man is only as good as his word is.

So I'm carrying on with the word I made

and that was set right from the beginning.

I won't budge from it.

Ace, do you know right now where you sit?

In this game, a lot of things can change very quickly.

Blindsides can happen at any time, and no-one is safe

from that tonight.

Well, as if there wasn't enough, we have the rain coming down

to add to the discomfort.

It is time to vote.

Josie, you're up first.

You crossed the line, but let the chips fall where they may.

Your social game was just too good.

I'll get the votes.

If anyone's in possession of a hidden immunity idol

and you'd like to play it, now would be the time to do so.

Once the votes are in, the decision is final and the person voted out

must leave the Tribal Council area immediately.

I'll read the votes.

Tom.

That's two votes, Tom.

Two votes, Tom. One vote, Seamus.

Two votes, Seamus. Two votes, Tom.

Three votes, Seamus.

Three votes, Tom.

That's four votes, Tom.

Three votes, Seamus.

Seamus.

That's four votes, Tom.

Four votes, Seamus.

One vote left.

First person voted out of Survivor, South Africa, Philippines.

Seamus, you need to bring me your torch.

Seamus, the tribe has spoken.

You were a tribe divided before the vote.

If you want to go forward and win, you need to be a tribe unified.

One good thing about coming to Tribal Council is you leave

with fire in the form of flint.

Grab your torches head on out.

I'm a huge fan of the show

and to go out first is, obviously, heartbreaking.

I think I just I came in

a little bit too hard

played the game a bit too strongly.

I should have pulled the reins back

from the beginning and realized,

you know, these people don't

want to play the game hard.

You came out running instead of

crawling and then walking.

I was outplayed, outwitted

and, obviously, outlasted.
