Sixteen Americans marooned for 39 days in the middle of the South China Sea.

Separated into two tribes, Tagi and Pagong, they competed against each other

remain on the island.

But now the tribes have merged into one. Ratana is the name, and it is everyone

for themselves.

Every third night, the entire tribe will hike deep into the jungle to take part

in the tribal council, where they must vote one of their own off the island.

In the end, one will remain and will leave the island with $1 million in

Last week on Survivor.

The stakes were raised for the castaways as the two tribes merged into one.

There was a lot of baggage that we left on that Pagong beach.

The members of Pagong were upbeat as they paddled to their new home at Tagi

Beach. I'm excited to go to their camp and meet new people.

Rich came out and was like, hey, how are you? You know, he spread him out, which

was really nice. They welcomed us with open arms.

But the Tagi Alliance was a wolf in sheep's clothing.

I don't need to deal with that.

Who, after Gretch?

Jenna. I was thinking Sean.

Rudy wasn't happy with the new Ratana tribe.

All of a sudden, we doubled our population.

Personally, it's a pain in the ass.

Greg won the first immunity talisman, ensuring that only he could not be voted

off at tribal council.

Sean began his alphabet voting strategy, and to the surprise of many, it was

Gretchen who was ousted. Oh, my God.

It's me.

Nine members of Ritana are left. Tonight, one more will go.

Today is like day 22.

We had a vote last night, which is always pretty beat up. It puts us in a

dumb mood.

Last night was a very strange vote.

Last night it looks like there was a conspiracy.

And maybe I'm being paranoid and I didn't want to believe it, but four

from Tagi voted for Gretchen, I think.

You know, the bloodbath has begun. People have started taking it a

because there's really no good reason.

other than strategy, to vote Gretchen off.

Gretchen distinctly disliked this part of the game.

This was her hardest thing, was voting people off. And the part that she liked

the most was the survival aspect.

I really don't know what happened last night. At first sight, it looks like

just picked Gretchen off.

I think that my former team, Coggy, probably formed an alliance against what

they perceived as her.

as their strongest member of Pagan, which is Gretchen.

It was my idea to get rid of Gretchen because I thought that she was going to

the next leader.

She had to go because she is bright and is strong, and

she was a threat.

The duplicity of the whole thing is pretty bad because I think that people

out of their way to befriend her.

And those are the people who subsequently voted against it. Yeah,

game. That's it.

Yeah. If you want to play that one. This is a game. Don't take it personally.

You know, people came here to make, you know, boys and buddies and, you know,

lifelong friends. They should have gone to summer camp.

I think really if it happens again, then you can say for sure there's an

alliance. But if it does, I'm more determined than ever to bust that plan

still kill them all and win, you know.

As far as Pagong, we are now four.

They are now five.

They do have a voting block on us, whether we see it or not. And they can

us up one by one.

Cool. My best strategy is to bond with the women and try to hold on

to the women's vote as long as I can.

I'm so excited, guys. I don't care if you vote me off now.

Because I made it to my cutoff point. I made my cutoff point. There ain't no

girls going for a while, you guys. Thank you. That makes me feel better.

Yeah, the women seem to be getting along well because the women are all workers.

Actually, I like Jenna better than I thought I would. I thought she would

me wild, and she doesn't.

Don't worry. The guys' days are numbered. They are numbered. Us girls

here for a while. Trust me.

We'll be up at the end.

I do see the woman versus man vote continuing on in Montana.

As far as my three votes, top, they're all men.

Oh, God, you guys.

I see the women go out and get the crab traps. The women fix the hut. We're

carrying the weight of the team. Maybe that's unfair, but that's how I see it.

As far as the women becoming an alliance, there's a chance that the

want to have an alliance after there's a few more guys knocked off.

If they do, I'll just lead on with them like, yeah, that's a good idea. But as

far as the women forming an alliance and making one, no, it ain't going to

happen. I already got mine. I like mine.

We're all hungry, and we're low on energy, and there's still no one else

providing any food except for Rich.

And we're having to ration the rice.

You don't have to put both bowls on right now, Rudy. That's what I'm saying.

You're stubborn.

I ain't stubborn. I'm going to eat. If everybody's going to eat, I'll eat. I

ain't above eating.

Having nine people, everything gets smaller again. The rice pot got smaller.

The sleeping quarters got smaller.

Four or five bags, so it's four bags there, so we've got eight meals there.

So that's four days.

Oh, no, that's only two days.

So a can's only going to last us two days?

We're eating that much.

We have to ration it then.

I don't care.

We should make three pots tonight. We should make two pots twice a day. When

go over there to eat, like the majority of us. Yeah, two pots a night.

I wish some of the other people would start conserving a little more, the

that are being pigs.

And I've come, I said, I'll only eat one ball at a sitting. I'm planning on

staying to the end, so I really want to have something for the last couple days.

We have our fisherman, it's Rich.

That's Rich's job.

Oh, wow, two?

Four. Four?

What a catch. A ray, a parrotfish, a catfish, and a nice little nurse shark.

Baby's going to have some protein today.

Craig, Sean have gone out to try the spearfish. They've got nothing.

I'm not going to do any better than they will. You know, and I think Rich is in

a great position.

If we vote Rich, we don't eat.

Get the torches going.

Get everything happening.

This is big time, guys.

Fritz! Fritz! Fritz!

Fritz! Fritz! Fritz!

Which one of you sons of bitches wrote my name on a card last night?

The bastard didn't get a fist. He's out of here. I'm starving.

As far as who voted for me at the tribal council last night, and I'm not certain

who it is, but I'm thinking it was probably Greg who felt threatened by me.

who could have been any of them?

i've only been with them a day or two and i've not brought in any fish today

the other hand i brought in a huge cat three rays they just left that up that

one's pretty meaty yeah well let's make them dead soon so they can stop

suffocating yeah ah you don't i mean there's no other humane way to do that

yeah it seems pretty humane to me right through its brain i could eat rice for

17 more days i could eat rice the whole time but they're loving the fish and it

seems to make people feel great and i squeeze every ounce of credit out of it

that i can suzy kill look at that please i know they look i said they look

beautiful dang rich those rays look really good

Watch Susie perk up. She just gets a little protein and she's back in the

Rich is playing a big game. I think Rich thinks he's very clever. He has a lot

of things going on in his mind that he selectively decides what he will share

and with whom.

Fear comes from... It's useless. I think religion is what destroys our society.

Whoa. I think it's the reason people treat other people as if they're lower

them. So, rich.

That's ground shaking.

I'm not sure how Greg sees me. I'm trying to figure out whether or not he's

trying to build an alliance or pull me in or make me like him in some way. It's

kind of weird. It's good and bad.

At least we'll give it a go.

Good, thank you, buddy.

Don't give that stuff to me with those funny faces.

I'm seeing Greg in a much more devious way than I've ever seen him before.

Since we moved, I saw him change so much and so transparently, to me anyway,

that I've changed my whole attitude towards Greg.

This game is interesting in that you make friends with people, you make

alliances, and then you're going to have to cut them loose at some point.

Greg is working just about everybody in the group. I think he's always had

Colleen wrapped around his little finger. It's not like that. I mean,

if there was a girl here who I got along with really, really well, it would be

the same thing that way. I feel like I have a friend and I have somebody who's

my equal that I can actually have a conversation with.

Yesterday night was not fun. No. I'm voting for you next.

Fine. See what happens.

You're voting for me.

This is the game.

You bring this little kitty along.

You have your little kitten, and you pet your kitten, and you enjoy this kitten,

and the kitten sleeps with you every night, and then you're hungry, man. You

look right in the kitten's eye and snap its neck. It's nothing personal. You're

hungry. The kitten has to give its life for the next level.

What is it about your pet cat?

My pet kitten.

Your pet kitten.

It's you, kitty.

I see him as being a chameleon, changing his colors to fit whoever he's around.

He's certainly interacted with me in an incredibly interesting way that suggests

to me that he's trying something that I'm very, very wary of, and that's

Rich finds Greg attractive.

So Rich throws these little innuendos out there, and Greg will just pick right

up on him, sit right real close to Rich, and he's playing.

Orgy, Greg? Orgy? Yeah. Sure.

You have? Oh, not right now.

Greg and Rich have joked around a lot. We were talking one night and Rich was

getting real personal about his business and Greg was all in it. You guys have

never been with another guy?

No.

I think

Rich likes to flirt with everybody

and instead of directly shutting him down, I only played.

his game back.

He's the shy one on tape. I didn't expect that.

He's manipulative. He's trying to win me over in some way. He's just not going

about it in a bright enough way for me.

I would like to spend more time with him and get to know him, but I would also

rather have the million dollars than to have somebody like him around to worry

about.

What the hell is that?

Oh, boy.

Oh, boy.

It's a skill to carve the arc. Man your aim, be true, and find its mark.

Archery is the sport of kings. A reward from home is what victory brings.

Oh, my, my.

I'm never going to win anything around here.

Got a little bit of a clue.

You know, if it has anything to do with something from home.

I'd like Jenna to win it. Thank you, Sean. I hope it's my picture.

We might have our family send a care package or something, everybody, and

they'll just give you the care package. The reward is going to be something from

home, and Jenna's thinking it's our pictures that we got to bring, and she

really misses her daughters terribly.

Aren't you excited?

I love this stuff. I'm going to go home and be like, oh, I get to do both now.

Wow. Okay, Jenna, way over.

And it's guys against girls because it's very even because he's bowing arrows,

and these arrows are none of them are straight.

Go, Kelly.

Keep your finger over it. I'm in.

Okay, burp three times.

Not four.

Even if you want to, keep it at an angle.

Nice.

I think it's Jeff.

Bringing news of the competition, I bet.

Hi, Jeff.

Better be something really good.

Hold on. I'd rather have food than ice cream. I would so much rather have food.

Probably is a refrigerator, but what are we going to refrigerate our rice?

Maybe it's got some food already.

Ice cream, Sam?

Perfect.

Okay, now before we begin today's reward challenge, I'm going to show you some

short clips of videos sent from home.

The winner of the archery contest gets to watch their entire video.

With that, I give you this, a little something from home. Okay, a little

something from home. That's cool.

Hey, Dad, I hope you're doing very well.

That's my kid.

Hey, Dad, I'm doing pretty well.

I hope.

You come back with a million, like I said in my letter.

I just wish you lots of luck.

How cool.

Yeah, that's really cool.

Okay.

Hi, Kelly.

I know you're doing good. You're probably going to win, but I miss you

I'm ready for you to come home, so eat your rice, keep smiling, and come home

and let's go kayaking.

I'm ready to go. I don't know.

Maybe everybody in the room, anybody who's watching this right now, could

join in. You make Mama real proud.

Don't go shaming the family.

Leave her with everybody on the island.

Just remember who loves you. Just what she's thinking of.

Now,

I'm doing this out of the top of my head. That's all.

Oh,

my God.

You are me.

Together we make it through eternity.

Not bad, eh? You know, here's Stinky.

He's going to come up and give you a big kiss.

Here he comes.

is our sign -off now. Have fun.

Good luck.

So cute.

Hi, Louie. I bet you're surprised to see me on the island with you. I just

wanted to let you know how much we missed you.

Look at Grandpa.

Hey, who is that?

And whether you win or not, I'm proud of you for having been selected.

I hope you're enjoying yourself because I know you like the challenge.

Take care. I love you very much.

That's a love letter.

Yeah. All right.

Nice.

Everything we do.

Shouldn't have told me that, man.

Well, it breaks my heart to say this, Jenna.

Oh, don't.

We never received a tape back.

And I'm really sorry.

Oh, man.

Are we going to do the archery now?

Well, there is.

An upside to this that still includes you, the reward for today's challenge is

two parts.

One is a private screening for the full tape. The winner also gets to make their

own video postcard and send it home.

And that one, Jen, I can guarantee you will get there, and I'll put it in the

overnight myself tomorrow.

So one person's going to get the whole getting caboodled tonight, and the

are going to get nothing else.

Okay, so you're going to get one arrow. That's it.

Remember, the one who shoots their arrow closest to the bullseye gets to see

their entire video and make one of their own.

You guys comfortable?

Nice.

Greg is on the mark.

Okay. I'll let you know.

What?

Oh, yeah.

Go, Rudy. Make it count.

Greg's still looking good right now.

Close.

Tim's waiting to hear.

Waiting to hear from you.

Nope.

Not that one. Good try.

Nice try.

Tom and Dad would love to hear from you.

All right, Jared, no big deal, Jared.

Hi, Eric.

Billy.

Nice try, Jared.

Nice try.

Go, Richie.

Did I, Rich? Here we go.

So Greg is going to go back up there and watch his tape.

You can include these guys if you want. You can do whatever you want with it. Of

course. If it's going to be funny, which I figured it would, I thought other

people might get a kick out of it. Like, at least she could provide

entertainment for other people.

How are you?

I miss you very much.

That's right, Ping -Ping.

I didn't think Greg's tape was unusual.

I expected that and was excited by it. You could tell she was having fun and

knew that he would laugh at what she was doing. And I was laughing. I loved it.

Any circumstance you find yourself in, you're not sure what to do.

You're in a quandary. You're in a pickle.

You're in a bind.

Think what Billy Joel would do. Think about it.

Let's talk about who's probably sleeping on the island right now. I'll bet all

the giant, scary spiders are sleeping.

That's how mom used to put it. All the animals are sleeping.

You make mom proud.

You make mom real proud.

Just remember who loves you.

I definitely see Greg differently now that I've seen his video and attaching a

little bit of a family with him. At least we know he's not the only

his family. Maybe it's a genetic trait over there.

You're on, buddy. Okay.

Hi, Julie.

I just want to say, you know, it was really special for you to send me and

everybody here what you did. We feel like we could feel you and we felt you.

Some of us felt you and others just imagine what it's like to feel you.

I can't understand a guy talking to his sister that way. It sounded like Greg

was talking maybe incest.

That's the way it sounded to me.

Why not make illusions? It crosses all those borders.

God, what are people going to think? And then sexual illusions for my sister?

What's going to happen?

Julie, we've got to put up with this for about two more weeks, and then we might

kill him.

Is that doing you a favor?

Good work, Rudy. Good job, Rudy.

Yeah.

I can't imagine anybody missing me more than I do every night.

This is my beauty.

This is my beauty.

I can't imagine my mom not getting the deep out.

I would have done wonders to see that my kids were okay.

Hear their voices.

Hear I love you, mommy.

Yesterday was cool. We had that reward challenge with the bow and arrow, and

reward was the videotapes from home.

And for me, that was way better than food. Now, seeing those videos of

everybody's family, it's like, even if you didn't like somebody before, you see

that somebody cares and loves this person. So it makes it harder for me to

somebody off now.

I felt so bad for Jenna. She practiced all morning on that stupid bow and

and then it was just like, why bother for her?

My bruises from the bow and arrow.

This is from the bow and arrow.

I don't know what her feeling is, because now it seems like she wants to

the island to see her girl.

This is going to make a dumb excuse when I do get this done.

I'm going to probably cry, but you know what? Then I'm going to get off and go,

what an adventure.

So, and then I get to go home to my kids, so. Jenna is a threat to me

she has kids. And I have kids, so we're like single parents.

And if people feel for single parents, she's tugging on people's emotions right

there. And that can sway somebody not to vote for Jenna. And that's a threat for

me. Jervis, I don't see him doing very much.

The fact you have more people here now and we're having to forage for more food

and... There's a lot more slackers on this other team.

Nice guys. I don't like feeding people like that. You know what I mean?

That's where I'm coming from now.

My work philosophy is this. Rich is like the resident fisherman.

Rudy's the cook.

Sean is hauling in wood every day.

It seems like everybody has a role here.

And I'm just sitting back relaxing.

Watch me. I'm going to work that boy until he's gone now.

Bugs me.

Jervis is honest. He's not playing anybody else's game. I've said over and

that he was an example for people thrown out of their element to really succeed

and have a great time, which Jervis has.

I got a king.

How have I survived this whole?

I always said when I came here, I was going to be the entertainer. God, man.

Glad you brought them.

I'm not trying to do anything shifty or shady. I'm just being me.

And people like me because that's who I am.

Jerv is not that charming.

Trust me. He's just blacker. That's all.

He won't be around long.

Look at that mouth.

Hey, what's new?

Holy.

Oh, look at this.

Want to win immunity at the next challenge, just slip onto the right rope

run. Beware of dead ends.

The prize you seek is waiting at the end of the line.

Wow, that sounds awesome.

Fishing! There's a significant amount of luck with this one.

Oh, you've got to love that.

At least this way I have a chance.

Day 24 on the island.

Since the merger...

Nothing has been more important than voting strategy.

The gears are churning. Nobody is safe.

The only way to stay in this game, win today's immunity challenge.

Here we are. Immunity time again.

Into the line is a rope course designed to be confusing.

It's a jungle rope maze with five checkpoints along the way.

Your job is to collect the colored carabiners at every checkpoint.

Here's the only hiccup.

You have to be attached to the rope course at all times with your carabiner.

have two of them.

At certain points, you're going to come to a junction, these trees.

You can't get past it. You have to take your other carabiner, reattach, then you

can untatch, spin around, maneuver, however you want to do it. The only

you have to keep in mind is one of these at least has to be on at all times.

Also at each checkpoint are several ropes that lead directly to the next

checkpoint. But there are also several ropes that lead to dead ends.

If you hit a dead end, you've got to backtrack to your last checkpoint and

choose a new line. First person to reach the end of the course with five

carabiners gets an interview.

The tighter the better? The tighter the better for you.

Survivors ready?

Go!

Oh, Carl.

What's happening, guys?

Brilliant. Whoa, dude.

Yeah.

Nice work, man. Wow. Congratulations.

Very good. Very good.

Yes. Well learned.

Yes.

I knew coming here that we'd have to vote people off.

What I didn't bank on was the feelings that you'd have towards these people.

I feel like I feel every tribal council, only it gets worse every time. I feel

like a backstabber. I feel like a liar.

God, some people are so nervous. It's sick. It's sick how nervous some people

are.

People are looking around a little more because it's starting to get down to the

wire. And evidently we're the only ones who had a plan right now. Yeah, once it

passed the next, we're invincible.

Right now we're not invincible.

The voting now should get very interesting.

If people are fear and self -preservation motivated, they'll band

they'll form alliances, they'll start beating people out. But fear -motivated

self -preservation is the worst game I could imagine.

How do you, you know, stay true to yourself and maintain integrity and

play this game?

And you know what? You can't.

Yeah, I think I would look better.

Yeah, tell Rudy that. I will. But then it's their team, one by one by one.

It's cut and dried that we can eliminate somebody every time.

And if we don't, I'll have to break somebody's kneecap or something.

So as long as everybody can keep their mouth shut now, Kelly's a little freaky.

She gets a little going. I'm like, just shut up.

Just vote this and shut up.

I keep telling myself, oh, I have enough friends, I didn't come here to make

friends, and, you know, da -da -da, and the truth is, I like these people.

To me, that's too different. This is a game. You're allowed to do this in a

game.

Alliances are a fair game.

My thing is, we should always have the upper hand. We should have voted for

at first, and then vote, next vote, vote your conscience.

Always keep the upper hand, though, because if they try something, you can

it.

As far as there being a counter -strategy from the other side, yeah,

some fear about that because we haven't gotten enough of them voted off yet. We

have the upper hand right now.

Easy. We have four people that we can come together, have a vote, and get the

next person off.

Welcome to Tribal Council number eight.

You guys are now the final core group of nine.

Two of you will make it, survive long enough to get to the final vote. The

seven of you will return to be the jury that delivers that vote. So no matter

who gets voted off from this point forward, when they get voted off, we'll

be back here in 15 days to determine who leaves with $1 million.

So Richard, bearing that in mind.

How do you balance the ruthlessness required to get to the final two with

likability needed to get the final vote?

Good question. I'm not even exactly sure what my strategy is going to be as to

who I'm going to vote for from week to week. I'm just going to keep getting

fish, feeding people.

Hope they're happy.

How about you, Jervis? You're wearing immunity tonight. You're fine.

Same thing applies to you. How do you find that balance?

I'm winging it.

Every day out here, I'm just winging it. I like everybody here.

After seeing their videos of their families, I can put faces with them now.

see they have loved ones like I do, caring about them, rooting for them.

So it makes it a lot harder.

Jenna, how surprised were you last week to see Gretchen get voted off?

I was very surprised.

I would have thought she would have made it to the final two.

But when we merged, strategies had to shift.

and looked like they were getting rid of leaders.

So from here on out, if I get voted off, I'll wear it like a badge of honor when

I walk down there.

Susan, straight up, is there an alliance?

No.

Not that I vote people off that I don't care for. You know, that really would

irritate me if I was working with them at a job or something like that.

And here, I got a chance to vote them off. I can get rid of them.

Kelly,

same question.

So I have to answer? No, I'm just kidding.

Has your voting strategy changed now or will it change tonight?

I vote for who I don't particularly like.

I vote for who I don't want to spend the next 15 days with.

Colleen, would you do whatever it takes to get this money? Would you play sides

against each other?

No. Just not important enough?

Right.

What brought you here, if it's not the money? I mean, I'm here for the money,

too. I mean, give me a break, of course. But the thing is that everybody's here

for the money. You know, I mean, I'm not going to listen to everybody's sob

stories and then weigh them. That's ridiculous.

Everybody wants the money.

All right, Jervis, time to vote.

I voted for Jenna. I think she's really missing her kids now. She didn't get the

videotape. There's not a letter for her. So, you know, I think it's really

hurting her. So this is her ticket.

In keeping with my strategy of alphabetical order,

I'm voting for Greg tonight because it would have been Jervis' turn.

But he won immunity, so I had to skip him. Next person in order is Greg. I

think this was going to mean very much.

First time for paranoia.

Second time for irritation.

And third time because my ear infection is clearing up.

Good night, sweetheart.

It's time to go.

No more competition.

Talk to you later, Craig. Bye -bye.

As always, I'd like to remind you that once the votes are tallied, the decision

is final, and the person will be asked to leave the island immediately.

I'll read the vote.

Jenna.

Genre. Right.

Right. Right.

Three votes for Greg, three votes for Jenna.

Greg.

Take care, Greg.

Greg,

the tribe has spoken.

It's time for you to go.

I believed him for a minute.

You believed him, Rudy?

For a minute there.

Look at the tears back there.

That's it for tonight's tribal council.

I'll see you guys tomorrow.

Next week on Survivor.

I'm just being honest with you. I know. You can't take the honesty. Cracks begin

to appear in the alliance.

I'm hoping that Kelly hasn't joined forces with somebody else.

Someone will win a letter in the reward challenge.

Will Jenna finally hear from her children?

I want the letter from home that I haven't seen or heard anything from my

A twist of fate that maybe some didn't expect and some,

well, some did.

An excellent game, well manufactured.

I harbor no resentment for any of you who voted for me, against me, or

otherwise. I feel like it's probably a pretty darn good time.

Thanks, guys.
