All language subtitles for Survivor.S49E01.en

En el primer acto de la pel�cula,
s�lo tratas de sobrevivir.

Tratas de sobrevivir d�a tras d�a.

Corres de los monstruos.

Pero el acto dos?

Ah� es cuando puedes cambiar el gui�n.

Y ahora...

...tu eres el monstruo.

Es momento de romper el juego.

Fui uno de los m�s j�venes

directores de comunicaciones
en la historia del Capitolio.

Y mi pasatiempo favorito

es besar traseros.

Har� lo necesario

para hacer sonre�r a alguien

porque eso te lleva lejos.

It's basically a huge social
game, when you're a reporter.

It's about who you know

and what they're gonna
be able to tell you

before they tell
their competition.

Very similar to Survivor.

So this is destiny for me.

This is gonna be the easiest
million I will ever make.

It's, uh, basically
Chippendales of Australia.

Oh, it's terrible.

You know, you got a thousand
women screaming your name

every single night
when you're on stage.

It's just...
you don't want that.

I can charm a woman.
I know how they work.

I know what to say,
what not to say.

And it could help me out
on Survivor.

Real-life Magic Mike.

I've accomplished a lot.

When I was 14 years old,

I helped my parents
file their taxes.

I was the first one
in my entire family

to attend and graduate college.

And now,

I am the first person
of Albanian descent

to ever play Survivor
in 49 seasons.

I'm the first one.

R-I-Z-G-O-D,

RizGod, baby, is here.

And I want
to stamp myself as one of

the best players
to ever play this game.

abandoned in the islands of Fiji.

and we just got
to let this rocket burn, baby.

Usually
I'm flying business class,

I'm staying in five-star hotels,
I'm maxing out my credit cards.

Like, I have no outdoor skills.

only one will remain to claim
the million-dollar prize.

The manipulation,
the blindsides,

the lying, the backstabbing--

that's what I want
to bring to this game.

And I'm excited to do it.

Who will have what it takes

to outwit, outplay
and outlast all the rest?

This is Survivor 49.

Ha-ha!

Welcome.

Come join me.

Aah!

What am I about
to get myself into?

But I was so excited
to get the game going.

And I'm, like,
sizing up my tribe.

I'm thinking,

"Okay, are they the loud one?

"Do they want
to be the strongest one?

Like, do they think
they're the funny one?"

Let's go!

Electric. Fire.

unleash all the anxieties,

all the fears.

Like, we're here.

That's a tribe entrance
right there.

All right, I like the energy.

Let me officially say

welcome to Survivor 49.

All right, let me understand
this excitement.

Woman in the middle,
in the front.

You were so excited.

How do you describe
that energy you're feeling now?

My name's Kristina. I am...

Kristina!

Um, this is just
a very long time in the making,

and it just feels like
we can finally just, like,

explode and say,
"Aah! We're here!"

Let's go.

Guy in the front left,
what's your name?

- Front left?
-Yeah, you.

Oh, that's me. I'm Jason.

- Hello.
- Hello, Jason.

Yeah. Yeah.

Talk to me about the excitement,

because you ran up
with a lot of energy.

Jeff, I...

I don't know if I'm allowed

to peel the curtain back
a little bit,

but I'm, like, the male
alternate for this season.

- I didn't know...
- Mm.

I was gonna be on this show

till 30 minutes before
I went to bed last night.

So the thing about
being the alternate is,

you have to be ready
for anything.

I packed three shirts--

a red one, a blue one
and a yellow one.

So I'm adjusting,

and I am on Survivor 49
with all of you.

Yeah, you are, bro. Let's go.

Let's go over here.

In the middle, in the back,
in the purple.

- Yeah.
- Uh, no.

What's your name?

I'm Sage.

Tell me about
the feeling you have right now,

that it's finally happening.

You are literally
in the sand in Fiji.

Yeah, uh, something happens
when I'm excited and nervous.

I pee a lot.

I've peed three times
just trying

to get here today
off the back of the boat.

So I apologize for anyone
who saw a full moon today.

It's more of a half-moon.

I've got my mom's hips, but...

- Guy in the back,
what's your name?
-Hey, Jeff, I'm Jake.

I'm from, uh,
your northern friend, Canada,

uh, from a place
called Edmonton.

So, how long have
you been watching Survivor?

Uh, since season one, Jeff.

When I was a kid, um,

Mom and Dad would
put me and my brother down

on a Wednesday night
before we had to go to bed.

We'd watch the show.

Survivor's been
a staple of the family.

We still talk about it
to this day.

But now, fast-forward
into season 49, um...

Sorry. Um...

My dad's got diagnosed with
a condition called glaucoma.

And he's gonna be completely
blind by the end of this year.

So this is
the last season of Survivor

he'll-- he's gonna
be able to see.

And I just want to make my dad
proud one more time, visually,

so... Sorry.

Sorry to hear that.

Sorry.

Guy in the middle, in the back.

Introduce yourself.

My name's Steven.
I'm from Denver, Colorado.

And I am excited to be here.

Okay, this is not
The Price Is Right.

That would be
a great answer for that show.

Steven, talk to me
about the moment you decided,

"I'm gonna dedicate myself
to getting on Survivor."

A hundred percent.

So, my journey began
with the Pearl Islands.

When I first saw all
of the different contestants

from all different
walks of life,

and they were so vulnerable.

And I think as you get older,

you kind of run out
of first-time experiences,

and Survivor is just jam-packed

of first-time experiences.

They're gonna help you
get outside your comfort zone

and give you a chance
to be vulnerable.

Yes.

Never heard it put that way.
Great answer.

All right.

Well, if there's one thing
that's very clear

over 24 years and 48 seasons,
it's this.

Survivor is always evolving.

And it's not because
of the twists or advantages.

Survivor evolves

because of you, the player.

Everybody who has
played this game before you

has impacted the game
in some way.

And in doing so,

they've elevated the game.

Their pursuit of greatness
laid the foundation

that you're
standing on right now.

And each of you have your own
reasons for being here--

your own drive, your own dreams,

your own story to write.

What complicates Survivor is,
the minute the game starts,

all of your
individual ideas collide,

because Survivor
is a zero-sum game.

Only one of you will win.

But...

it is your 18 individual

pursuits of that victory,

the decisions you each make,

the risks you each take,

that will define your season.

And underneath all of this

is the heart
of the paradox of Survivor.

You must and will
rely on each other

in order to survive
in a real jungle,

and you must and will vote
each other out in order to win.

That is the beautiful

contradiction that makes
Survivor so compelling,

because without
that constant push and pull,

without alliances
being formed and then broken,

without trust being built
and then shattered,

there is no
pursuit of greatness.

This is your moment.

This is your season,

and it begins right now.

Let's get to tribe names.

We'll start with yellow.

Your tribe name is Hina.

- Hina.
- Hina!

In the middle,
wearing red: Uli.

Uli!

And on the end, wearing blue,

Kele.

- Kele!
- Kele!

All right,

are you ready to get
to your first test as tribes?

Let's get it!

Oh, my God.

Let's get
to the marooning challenge.

Here's how it's gonna work.

On my go,
one pair is gonna race

into the jungle

to retrieve
and bring back two heavy crates.

Then the next pair
is gonna swim out

to a boat with more crates

and swim that boat back.

Then when
you have all your crates,

the remaining pair
will use those crates

to build a cube puzzle.

Then one person will
climb on top of that puzzle,

retrieve a mallet,

leap off the cube
and use that mallet

to ring a bell.

First tribe to ring their bell

earns their tribe's supplies--

pot, machete, flint.

That's it.

Out here, that's a lot.

The losing tribes will have
to try and earn it another way.

Make sense?

- Yeah.
- All right.

All right,
I'm gonna give you a minute

to make your first
very big decision--

who's gonna run
what part of this challenge--

and then we will go.

All right.

How about this
for a starting line?

Tell me,
does this work for you all?

Beautiful.

Survivor style?

All right, first pairs,
come up to the starting line.

- Let's work together.
- Let's go.

Let's go.

Let's go. Let's go.

All right.

It is the first challenge
of Survivor 49,

for your tribe supplies.

Here we go. Survivors ready?

Go!

Go, Canada!

It's Annie and Jake,

Rizo and Jawan,

MC and Matt.

Those are the first three pairs.

Yeah, Canada!

Did you expect anything less?

I mean, I don't know.

This stage is about effort,

strength, speed.

You got it, Annie.

Each tribe has two crates.

All right, we're good.
Work on the left.

You got to untie 'em,

and you got
to get 'em both back.

Jake and Annie working.

Doing great...

Jawan and Rizo working.

Come on. Right there.

Matt and MC making fast work.

- Here we go.
- Yeah, got it.

- MC takes one on her own.
-We're good. We got it.

Matt gonna take one.

Team out of the gate first.

There goes Jake.

Annie gonna try to grab one.

Those crates are heavy.

We good.

Let's go!

Jake coming back
with the first for Kele.

Do it for Canada!

Yeah!

Yes!

MC for Hina,
and Matt right behind for Hina.

Hina doing a nice job.

Here comes
Rizo and Jawan for Uli.

-You got it, Annie.
- Thanks.

Oh, wow.

Ay-ay-ay.

You're good. Go, Hina!

It's now Steven and Sophie
into the water.

There's one.

Get it over there, Jawan.

You're good! Go!

It's now Shannon,
Savannah into the water.

Come on, Shannon!
Go, Savannah!

Here comes Jake and Annie
with that second.

Come on, let's go.

Go, Kele!

Gonna be Jeremiah and
Alex into the water for Kele.

Come on!

Come on, Kele!

This is no joke.

That's a real swim.

Then you got
to pull that boat back.

Get it, Hina!

First you got to
unclip your boat.

Hina has their boat first.

Uli now at their boat.

Here we go, guys! Here we go!

Kele trying
to get to their boat.

You got it, Kele!

Tribe supplies on the line.

Hina now swimming it back.

Uli swimming it back.

Kele's been in dead last
this entire challenge.

- You got it, Kele!
- Come on, Kele!

It is Uli in the lead now.

Shannon and Savannah,
nice job in the water.

You got to get it back
and hit your buoy.

That is the mark.

-Great job!
-You're good.

Let's go, Uli!

Come on, let's go.

You guys killed it. Great job.

Got to get all those crates.

Let's go, Hina!

Sophie and Steven
doing a nice job.

- You're good!
- Let's go.

Everybody helping now.

You cannot start
till you get 'em all back.

Doing great!

Kele, you got to hit that buoy.

You're good!

Everybody now
retrieving their crates.

It is Uli in the lead.

- Then Hina.
- Let's go.

Oh, my God.

Kele dead last.

Come on, Sage. Let's do it.

All right, you're good.

Gonna be Nate and Sage
on the puzzle for Uli.

- Can we go one sideways?
- Yeah.

Hina, you're good.

It's gonna be
Jason and Kristina for Hina.

All right.

Okay.

Kele still working.

- Now you're good, Kele.
- Start. Go.

Holy...

It's gonna be
Sophi and Nicole on the puzzle.

You are building a cube puzzle.

This is the spot
where it is won or lost.

Jason didn't know he was playing
the game until hours ago,

and now here he is,
day one Survivor 49,

in the pressure position
of solving the puzzle.

Slide it in, and then this one
has to go in here somewhere.

Look, look, guys, guys.

Push that,
then lay that h-horizontally.

- Then lay that one flat on top.
- Yeah, nice, nice, nice, nice.

You've got Sage and Nate.
They barely know each other.

They've got to work together.

Oh, never mind.
It's short, never mind.

All right, I lied. I'm sorry.

- Start putting 'em in.
- Yeah.

And Sophi and Nicole trying
to figure this puzzle out.

Sometimes fast
is not the answer.

It's not working.

Keep thinking, keep thinking.

- You got it?
- Yeah.

- Got it?
- Yep.

-Slide it in.
-All right.

Beautiful. I love it.

Jason now, he's got an idea.

That one like this, right?

Yep.

- I think you're right.
- Yes.

Is that right?

It looks right. No.

- Because then what goes here?
- Oh, my...

Nicole gonna reevaluate now.

Something's not right.

Oh, my God.

Upsy-daisy.

Here we go.

Hina moving quickly now.

- Yeah.
- Yes.

Very good, very good. I like it.

- Okay, put that one here flat.
- Yep.

Okay, okay, okay, okay.

I think we're onto something.

- Yep.
- I like it.

There we go. Put yours there.

Hina thinks they have it.

Out of nowhere.

- We need help on this one, okay?
- Okay.

Kick it in, and then you've
got to put in the top, remember.

It's got to fit. There you go.

Help me with it.

Kick in this right. Wait, Jason.

- The one on your right.
- Hurry, let's go.

You got it. You got it.

Push. Let's go, Hina.

They got it.

-Go, go, go...
-Who's going up?

It's gonna be MC
untying the stick.

MC, you got this.

This is a hero moment for MC.

Come on, MC!

On the morning of day one
of Survivor 49.

Get that stick.

Get up on top of the cube.

Go, MC!

Now you got to get
that mallet off using the stick.

Get the touch, get the touch.

Slow and steady.

Look at that.

Big flick.

Gonna flick it.

MC making it look easy.

Here comes
the victory bang of the bell.

- Ring it!
- Yes!

For tribe supplies!

Hina wins
the marooning challenge!

Pot, machete, flint

for their tribe.

- I'm sorry, Sage.
-No, no.

I'm sorry.
Dude, I blacked out.

That is it. It's over.

Hina, Hina, Hina, Hina!

All right, Hina, congratulations.

Tribe supplies
waiting for you back at camp.

Got a map to your new home.

Boat'll pick you up.

Get to camp and get to work.

Start building your new world.

All right, Uli, Kele,
not the start you wanted.

As a result, you're now
gonna have to try again

to earn your tribe supplies.

Here's how it's gonna work.

Each tribe's
gonna pick one person.

They will compete
against each other

in the fight for supplies.

Who's it gonna be?

Any volunteers?
I don't want to.

I don't want to go, either.

I mean, if someone
has to go, I'll go.

But if it's a puzzle,
we're cooked.

- I mean...
- We've got to go with...

One of you two guys.

- Yeah.
- You want to go?

Yeah, I'll go.

All right, Uli,
who's it gonna be?

It's gonna be me, Jeff.

All right, Kele,
who's it gonna be?

I'm taking on Rizo, Jeff.

All right,
Rizo, Alex, head out.

- Boat'll pick you up.
-Go get 'em, man.

- You got this.
-You'll return to camp
after you compete

in your fight for supplies.

Uli, map to your new home.

- Good luck.
- Thanks, Uncle Jeff.

Head out.

Kele, map to your new home.

Good luck.

- Thank you, Jeff.
- Survivor 49 is underway.

This is the real deal.

I was completely gassed.

Alex was gassed.
We were all gassed.

But when Alex said, "I'll go
and do this one," right away,

I knew that was gonna be my guy.

It shows he wants to take care

of his peers and partners,
right?

And that's exactly what I'm
looking for in a person here,

because this is a lot harder
than you think it is.

And I'm learning that
very quickly.

We won
the first challenge, and

I was struck
by a bolt of lightning.

Hina.

and now I am

on Survivor.

I am in the TV.

So I think morale
couldn't have been higher.

And then you get to,
like, the brass tacks,

which are, like, we have flint,

we have a machete,
and we have a pot.

I'm a big social person,

and now
we get to come to our beach,

scope out the place, and...

get to know each other.

- I work at YouTube.
- Wow. Awesome.

I throw bags at the airport.

I actually am a program manager
at a space engineering company.

And, uh...

I appreciate that.

I actually, uh...

This is, like, the greatest
compliment I've ever gotten,

but people have called me, like,
a discount Ryan Reynolds before.

- Like, so...
-I do see it. Not discount.

You're never a discount.

- That's what I say.
I appreciate you.
- Yeah.

He's a discount Steven.

Oh, man.
I love you guys so much already.

It's day one, and everybody

has seen my hearing aids.

And of course, there's
a stigma behind wearing them.

It's a sign of old age,

or it's a sign
that something's wrong with you.

Yeah. I'm super happy

- to talk about it.
- Okay.

So basically, I went, like,
two decades of my entire life

without even realizing
that I had hearing loss.

It was so nice that
my tribe immediately asked,

"Looks like
you have hearing aids.

Do you want to
tell us about that?"

I was dating someone
at the time, and she was like,

"You never listen to me."

And I was like, "I'm trying."

And so I was like, "I'll get
a hearing test to humor it."

And it came back.

They were like, "You should
probably get hearing aids."

And I just remember putting 'em
on for the first time.

And my first thought

was like, "Wow, the world sounds
so vibrant and rich."

And my second thought was like,

how many farts
did I think I got away with

that, like,

I literally did not?

Steven is

a social nerd,
just like myself.

We thrive on relationships,

and I appreciate that

just because I bring
absolutely zero skills

to surviving out here.

Okay, that was so fun.

I am a very adventurous person.

However,

I'm definitely a city girl.

Never been camping,
and I don't like all the things

that comes with being outdoors.

Oh, my God.

I'm definitely...

I'm definitely a city girl.

The animals
are already freaking me out.

Oh! I thought that--

Also,

I have a intense,
an intense phobia of birds.

Oh, my God,
it's one of the birds.

Okay, this is not
a good time to tell you guys

that I have a phobia of birds.

There's a list of things
that I probably

would be
complaining about right now

that I am really,
really internalizing.

And I think that is growth.

No!

I will try to be brave,
but not on day one, okay?

Home sweet home.

Yeah!

Let's go!

I have a really big
passion for astrology,

so I want to be the first male
Taurus to ever win Survivor.

Are you serious?

Let's go.

with Tauruses are we love

luxury things,

so this is, like,
so outside of my element.

Well, I guess
this is home base, guys.

Real cozy.

I don't really want
to come across as, like,

you know...

Actually, I want
to come across as really ditzy.

I'm so glad there's
some colorful representation

- on this tribe.
- Yeah.

Oh, thank you.

Looking at my tribe
and I'm thinking,

"This is going to be
a handful, this bunch."

Is this outside
of your comfort zone?

Living in the jungle?

I'm a New Yorker.

Yes.

Losing the first challenge,
we don't get flint.

We also don't get a machete.

So we, definitely,
pulling up into our new home,

we're feeling like...

Oh. Oh.

I heard a crash.

- Is everything okay?
- Yeah.

because when you're building a shelter,

a machete is essential

for collecting bamboo,
chopping off

palm fronds.

Oh!

I just fell on my ass.

Even eating. You can't

eat without a machete.
It's impossible.

You're using so much energy
to rip open a coconut.

It took me, like, 35 minutes
to open a coconut.

Whereas with the machete,

it might have
taken me 3.5 minutes.

Yeah. What's up?

I've... Like, you're one of the
only people here that I'm like,

I've had good vibes from,
from the second,

- like, I saw you.
- Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. 100%.

of high school. You know,
you're a little nervous.

You're a little excited.

And then it kind of hits you.

Like, not everybody here is
gonna make it to graduation.

Okay, pivot.

And I just have
to make sure that one

of those people is not me.

- No, but...
- I'm a big astrology person.

- Okay, but I'd love
to hear about it.
- Okay.

I don't know. I feel, like,
good energy from you.

- I just wanted to tell you that.
- Yeah, just wanted to say same.

as I possibly can.

This definitely isn't Canada.
I can say that.

Nope. Not Miami, either.

But coming out here, I knew

I wanted to have a meat shield.

And so when I saw Jake

on my mat, I was like,

"Thank you, God!"

I want you to be my number one.

Well, you know what?
Me and Alex--

Okay.

So, if we want
to do a three of us?

- Yeah.
- Right to the final three?

- Final three it is.
- All right.

He is the mother
of all meat shields.

He's the filet mignon
at a Michelin star steakhouse.

-We made it.
-Made it.

- Jawan.
- Jawan.

- Savannah.
- Savannah?

- Vibes, guys.
- Yeah, I know. I lov...

- I'm not just,
like, saying this.
- Yeah.

Like, I seriously feel like
we have such a dope tribe.

- Yeah.
- Yeah. The vibes are...
- Everybody's energy

- is just, like, up here.
-Yup.

this tribe is the vibe tribe.

We are the feel-good tribe.

We're the let's-go-have-fun
tribe, which is cool.

I'll buy into it for a minute,
but, like,

honestly, we've already
lost one challenge.

So immediately,

I'm trying
to suss out everybody.

Hi. I'm Savannah,
and I'm from Atlanta, Georgia.

As a former reporter,
I think the number one skill

I have that
is gonna be so useful

to me out here is my ability to
build trust with other people.

What do you do?

- I'm in marketing.
- Okay, awesome.

But I'm not telling
anyone out here

that I used
to work in news because

I don't want to be perceived
as someone

who is good with their words.

My goal out here is
to just focus

on these one-on-one
relationships

and hope that
that serves me well.

Uh, my name's Nate.
I am from Los Angeles. I am 47.

Uh, right now,
I'm a stay-at-home dad,

and I used to do, like, film
and television production. Uh...

Can we ask what you,
like, worked on?

It's, like, my first PA job

was on Sam Raimi's Spider-Man 2.

What?

Yeah, I've done
a lot of stuff like that.

I don't know why I'm so excited.

He thinks I was just
a production assistant.

And the truth is,

I produce films, including films
for Marvel Studios,

like the Black Panther
and Captain America franchises.

But my goal is to minimize
as much as I can

what I do.

What do you guys know
about building the shelter?

- So little.
-Because

people will think of any reason
to vote you out on this show.

That might spell
the end of my game.

Here I go, folks.
My first bamboo.

Okay.

Everybody going
into Survivor,

like, dreams of getting

those supplies up front because

it's such an advantage.

And we know Rizo's, like, trying

to pull one through
for the team, but, like,

those first bonding moments
are so crucial.

Can you pull it that way, Jawan?

- Nice.
- Yay! Good job, guys.

I'm trying to suss out
who is somebody that

I can be--

oh, God-- 100% honest with.

Oh, I'm good.
I just had to burp.

Yeah.

that I'm really getting
that vibe from

is Shannon.

- Yeah.
- I feel likewise with you.

- Like, soul sister vibes.
- The signs are there.

Yeah.

The huge part of my game
is being adaptable

and feeling into people.

I run high-vibe women's events
in Boston,

but I didn't grow up
with any spirituality.

It was, like,
Fenway Park as church.

- You're doing great.
- Yeah?

- And you're here for a reason.
- You're so sweet.

that's kind of like Boston,
Donnie Wahlberg,

and this other side that's
kind of like Stevie Nicks,

and you mix the two.

And I have
this spiritual connection,

which guides everything
that I do in my life.

Thank you, ocean,
for welcoming me.

May I respect you and love you,

and may I receive love
and respect back.

- I love that.
- Yeah.

and I do, and they feel that.

But I also am recognizing

that I am going to have
to cut them at some point.

I just need to figure out
when is it time to attack,

and who am I attacking?

We lost,

and Jeff says,
"Choose one person

to battle for supplies."

"A one-on-one battle
to prove your worth."

So, I stepped up to the plate.

- How's it going, man?
- Rizo. Alex. Nice to meet you.

Pleasure.

"Give me the ball.
I want the last shot."

I was ready for the challenge,
and I was ready

to prove my individual worth.

"It's day one of Survivor 49,

"and both your tribes
have already

"suffered their first defeat.

"Here's your chance
to prove your individual worth.

"Each player must race
onto the peninsula

"to find ten coconuts
marked with your emblem.

"Bring them back one at a time.

"Once you have all ten,
open the coconuts

"and use the pieces inside
to solve a puzzle,

"revealing the location
of a ship's wheel.

"Retrieve the wheel and use it
to crank your flagpole.

"The first player
to raise their flag to the top

earns their tribe supplies."

- All right, good luck.
Let's see what happens.
- Yeah.

I told my tribemates,
"If it's a puzzle,

we are cooked."

And in big bold letters,

it says "puzzle pieces."

And in my mind, I was like,

"Damn it, Rizo.

Why did I do this?"

One, two, three. Go.

with our tribe colors on 'em

in this huge field.

And honestly,

I'm really good at cardio.

I do the elliptical every day.

So being able to do this, like,

distance type of running
was not a problem.

It was exhausting,
but I was able to,

like, get into a groove.

I look over at Rizo.

He's struggling.

One, two, three. Nine, ten.

And he's already opening up
his pieces to the puzzle

while I'm still there

huffing and puffing,
trying to find my coconuts.

No.

And I'm already feeling
down in the dumps 'cause I know

my puzzle abilities.

On a scale of zero to 100,

it's negative 100.

And all I see

is Alex
flying through this puzzle.

love jigsaw puzzles.

That's right. That's right.

Okay, let's go.

at what Rizo's doing,
but I have a lead

and it's a pretty comfortable lead.

All right, let's cook.

Oh, boy. Damn.

That's there.
Treasure map.

- Let's go.
- Oh, he's cooking.

I look over,
and Alex is two pieces away

from being complete.

Let's go... Okay.

Okay.

Treasure. White log.

X marks the spot.

I finished the puzzle,
and there's an X marks the spot.

I feel good.

I had this puzzle done, and Rizo

is just starting?
Are you kidding me?

I know it's looking bleak.

Alex is still digging,
so I'm saying to myself,

"You got a chance."

But I can't
figure out the puzzle.

I don't know which piece

goes in which area.

And I was like, "Screw it."

We're on Survivor.

I'm going to go see his puzzle.

Sorry, Alex.
Don't hate me, but...

And I still can't figure it out.

I suck at puzzles.

All right, you know what?
We're doing it that way.

So, I brought all of my pieces,

stacked them
on top of Alex's pieces,

and then just come one by one,
bringing it to my board

and fitting the pieces
to the puzzle.

Ooh.

Hey, buddy. Sorry, buddy.

Give it...
All right, good boy.

Yeah.

Alex actually

plopped his body
on top of the table

so I wouldn't see.

And I'm like,
"Dang it. I almost had it."

But he proceeds to leave again,

and then my joy comes out again.

All right, I'm back.

Hi, friends. Missed you.

I'm like, "Oh, my God.

He didn't break it.
I'm going to cheat again."

Oh, yes.
Oh, my God, I'm a genius.

What am I missing?

Dude, he still
has not found it yet.

Am I not going deep enough?

I'm digging, digging.

Nothing.

So I start digging
in multiple spots.

Nothing.

And now, I'm starting
to get exhausted.

The elliptical
did not prepare me for this.

Where the hell?

And I see Rizo's over at my
puzzle, looking at the pieces.

There's an X marks the spot,

and luckily,
Rizo's spot is different.

But still, how can he not

get the pieces together
when he's literally

putting them piece for piece
exactly over mine?

What am I missing? Hmm.

Looking at this puzzle board,

something doesn't seem right.

Something is missing.

Hmm.

This is where we run
into a little bit of a problem.

'Cause
I'm either missing pieces...

Am I missing...
Oh, my God, guys.

You want...
you want to see that?

Rizo!

I'm like,

you goofball.
Why did you not

open all of them?

And now I kind of

finally see the picture.

Oh, my God.
Don't call it a comeback.

This one's for you, Mom.

What the hell?

crapping my pants.

Am I seriously about to lose

with a monster head start?

Rizo, come on!

This is all me, and you know it.

"dig the fastest you can dig.

"No matter how
you dig this hole,

"whether it's your feet,
your arms,

or your damn face."

"Dig this hole
and find this ship wheel."

And as I'm digging,

I strike something hard.

It felt
like winning the lottery.

I felt like, "Oh, my God.

I found the ship wheel."

And with everything
I had inside...

...I pulled the ship wheel
out of the sand.

Oh, my God!

of raising the flag

from the bottom to the top

meant everything to me.

Oh. Oh, my God.

I did it.

and it hurt my pride.

- Great job.
- No. I appreciate it.

I wish you the best of luck,
all right?

I wasn't supposed
to win this challenge,

but I never quit.

I thought about

everybody I was doing it for.

My girlfriend, and, like,

just doing everything
for my parents and

for everybody in Albania.

And I'm so proud of myself, man.

Like, wow.

Wow. Wow.

I wish I could hug myself,
but that's weird.

I'm so proud

that I stepped up to the plate.

This is up there
for the best moment of my life.

I cannot wait for an aqua dump.

If anyone does have
an official aqua dump,

and you want to describe it

to me in detail...

...please know that I would love
nothing more than that.

Yeah.

She is somebody who says
exactly what's on her mind.

And what's on her mind
is usually fun

and really entertaining,
but it's also clear that

we're in a game
that requires secrecy.

And I'm not sure
that's a great quality

for this particular game.

the machete.
I'm like, "Let's go! Rizo!"

- Thank you so much.
-You killed this. Yes.

so beautiful in my life.

And that freaking pot
and our flint and our machete.

I'll tell you this much.

My boyfriend,
when he sees how happy I am

about the pot, flint
and machete, he's gonna be like,

"I've been spending
how much on our dinners? What?"

I don't even believe
I'm here right now anyway.

-Badass moment.
- I like, I actually
don't want to cry, but like...

- Please cry.
-You go, go.

I think... I think about,

like, my family
immigrated from Albania.

My parents were both arranged,
they literally didn't

- know each other, they both
moved to this country,
- Wow.

got married, had me,

and I'm from Yonkers, New York.

Grew up in a 500-square-foot
apartment with one bedroom.

My parents both custodians,
they clean for a living.

Uh, my mom does it
for a high school

and my dad does it
for, like, a hotel.

And they always told me,
"Rizo, like,

"we came to this country
and we want you to live

- your American dream."
- Wow.

I just thought about it,
and I thought

about making you guys proud.

I thought about making
my brother, my mom and dad

and everybody at home proud.

So I didn't want
to let you guys down.

I know.

day one of Survivor--

it's something you dream about.

And now it's stamped that
the man, the myth, the legend,

R-I-Z-G-O-D, RizGod, baby,

was here to play Survivor.

What do you think
the other tribes are doing?

Ah!

Coming back
into camp empty-handed,

I am thinking to myself,

"What's going to happen?

What are people
gonna think of me?"

Alex is back.

so pissed that
they don't have supplies

that I'm the next target?

What?

Nothing?

Sorry, guys.

That's all right, buddy.
Welcome home.

I work on Capitol Hill.

And I know
it's all about the image

when I come back, so,

my mind is just racing.

How do I spin this?

Basically, a loss is a loss, but

he had no idea
how to do a puzzle.

I smoked him on that.

And I was digging
for 15 minutes.

And I guess I missed it
by a little m--

a little bit, you know?

Welcome home, buddy.
It's all good.

-Thanks for trying, man.
- No, no, I mean,

- I feel so bad, you know?
-Don't feel bad.

You took one for the team.
Like, honestly, thank you.

- Do not feel bad.
- Yeah. Yeah.

I need a tour of the place.

with any supplies,
which is a bummer.

I mean, it means everything.
We have nothing now.

We've got a whole pile
of those things, which we can't

weave together yet
until we have a machete.

We have a machete to cut 'em.

but Jake was the one
who kind of came up to me

and told me that
he saw something in Alex,

and that he trusts him
for whatever reason.

Are they saying
anything about me?

- Like, are people talking ...?
- No, no, no.
- No, no.

I told them,
I can just look at this guy,

and they can laugh with him
without even saying a word

- to him, right?
- Yeah. No, I know.

We're a bromance.
-Okay. Okay.

So, us three.

I'm... Yeah, I'm-I'm down.

We need to bring Alex
on straightaway.

It is...
It's a gut feeling, man.

I don't know if it's a sign
from God, just telling me

to trust Alex.

One of my motivations about why
I want you guys on my team.

-Yeah.
- Okay.

So me and my wife were trying
to get pregnant

for four and a half years.
Couldn't get pregnant.

So she went
and had a procedure done.

After I got the show,
she got pregnant.

No way.

So she's giving birth
to my kid while I'm here.

- No!
- No, you're not!

- Dude.
- I know, man.
- Are you serious?

- Oh, my God.
- So...
- Are you serious?

That's really going
to make me cry.

- Yeah, so...
- When is that happening?

Next week.
Yeah, it's a little boy.

Oh, my God.

while I'm here on the island,
so it's a...

It's a little bit bittersweet.

To be honest, it's, uh...

I gave her the opportunity
to tell me not to go.

Um, but she said, "Go and make
some money for our family."

- That's a piece of my life...
- Yeah.
- Wow.

that I'm gonna obviously
trust you guys with.

And I'm going
to keep you guys safe.

-Yeah.
-You have my, like...

- I will shake it out.
-No, I know.

I think, like, honestly,
you two are people

that I, like, definitely
would get along with

- in the outside world.
- So, us three?

he could be having a child
at any moment.

It showed just how much
he's fighting for his family.

I came back with nothing,
and within an hour,

we just got very deep.

This is something
that is gonna bond

the three of us together
for a long time.

Yeah, I mean,

I competed, and I've won money,
but I'm not...

Ah! There you go!

The definition.

What's your game of choice?

I play Super Smash Brothers.

Dude, that's my favorite game.

Like, okay,
GameCube or, like, Wii?

So, I love Melee,
but I play Project M,

which is a mod of Brawl
to make it play like Melee.

-Nerd talk, I love it.
-I was like...

There's definitely
a generational thing there.

Like, I don't even know
what you're talking about, man.

I've never heard of it.

So is what
you do called streaming?

Well, it was just, like,
playing, right? So, but...

that nobody else here has.

We want enough in there
that we can just

- slide the fire into it,
and it'll catch.
- Okay.

And build it up like a teepee.

My favorite thing

growing up was Boy Scouts.

So, the outdoors--
I've got that in the bag,

but it's gonna be so hard

to bite my tongue.

Okay. This way.

have never slept outside.

Nothing's happening.

It's on my Survivor
bucket list to start a fire.

- Here, here, here. Hold it.
-But it's a little

harder than I thought.

- Here we go.
- Okay.

but it started getting so dark.

And I could tell Matt knew

a hundred ways we could be
doing everything better,

and it was killing him inside.

Matt, I know
you know how to do this.

You know
you know how to do this.

- Okay.
- There it goes.

Yeah, hell, yeah.

I'm not just some

old guy with a funny beard.

- Wow.
- Nice.

I know my stuff when it comes
to what we need to do out here.

And I think this is gonna
give me an opportunity

to become invaluable
to the tribe.

Are these the problem shoes?

- My other shoe, just,
- You lost your shoe?

I would love it.

-It matches that one?
- It's the same exact shoe.

It's my left shoe.
I can't find it.

I lost my shoe,

and I'm a type A
eldest daughter.

Like, I have my stuff in check.

- We'll find it.
-We'll find it.

- We'll find it.
- Left shoe? Right shoe?

- Left white.
- All right.

My name's Jake,

also known as...
the shoe bandit.

Yesterday, I seen a shoe.

I'm like,
"I'm gonna hide that shoe."

So I hid it five, ten meters
away, just under a log.

So I've just decided
that every day, I'm gonna hide

a left shoe.

-Wait. That's weird.
- Someone throw it?

Yeah, that was a throw.

That's crazy.

one percent chaos.

- I'm glad you found it.
- No, I am, too.

This is just the start
of the famous

shoe bandit on Survivor 49.

You know?

We're gonna have the most
energy today that we have.

You know, it's gonna
keep steadily going down

- until we have a food source.
- Yeah.

- So might as well take
advantage of our energy.
- Yeah.

You're gonna do laundry.

- Yeah.
- And a couple of us
can go look for bamboo

and palm fronds before, like,

everything gets super hot.
So...

I'm an entrepreneur,
and I'm the front person

in a band, and so,

as part of running a company
and running a band,

I tend to want
to boss people around.

You got it all figured out, girlfriend.

Yeah.

I'm 49 years old, and so,

people are gonna think
certain things about me,

because I'm old, you know,

compared to the 20-year-olds out there.

But I've done a ton

of really physically demanding
things in my life.

You know,
I've done mountaineering.

I've done Ironmans.

I've done
multiday adventure races.

I've never done a competition

that involves
a social component before.

Annie, come with us.

I'm just gonna go get
the couple that I saw,

- and then I'll-I'll...
- Okay. Okay.

Yeah, that sounds good.

I just think
it's dumb to isolate yourself.

I think she's, like,
a kind person.

But when
you're spending time alone,

perception is... is that
you're looking for an idol.

And

if you're not building
those relationships with people,

you're kind of putting a target
on yourself.

Yeah.

No one wants to
throw a name out, but, like,

she's doing it to herself.

Okay, you go, girl.

really is creating a bond
between us.

We have something to talk about.

We all don't want to be
the first person voted out.

And so, I'd rather
it be her and not me.

- Yes, I definitely want
to talk you.
- Okay, so...

Yes. Can I say what I came
into this game wanting?

- I would love.
- I wanted someone like you,

because I have always

had a special relationship,

- not with...
- Don't say your mom
or I'm gonna kick you in the...

No, no, no, no,
I'm not gonna say my mom.

- Just like... my teacher...
- Your big sister.

- ...my teachers.
- Yeah. Yeah.

My-my boss is a female,

- and, like, we're best friends.
- Yeah. Yeah.

And so, it's, like,
I look for this, like...

- this woman figure
in my life, basically.
- I love it.

I'm a communications director
on Capitol Hill

for a congresswoman.

My boss is an awesome,
grandmother-like figure.

And so,
I want this mother figure,

and who
I see this mother figure in

is Annie.

What we need is for the tribe
to kind of not know

- that we're working
together, right?
- Yeah.

- Well, I want it
to be a secret, you know?
- Totally.

Annie is someone that
I actually could see myself

going far in this game with.

I really wanted to work with
someone who no one would expect.

And so, I feel like

I'm in a good spot

because I also have this solid
alliance with Jake and Sophi.

So, I need

to be thinking in my head,

who is gonna be the
most loyal to me down the road.

Yeah. No, I mean, honestly,

- this is what I wanted.
- Okay. This is our thing.

- This is what I came...
- Pinky swears are binding

- in a court of law.
- No, I mean seriously,

let me sign the paperwork
right now.

I work in D.C.

Taking a moment
to be here right now.

And then, as we settle in

to this present moment,
focusing in on your breath.

Ah!

leading all of us through

yoga, meditation, breath work.

Ah!

We can't just be
feel-good vibes all the time.

Like, this is gonna
get real at some point.

Any time your mind
starts to wander,

just come back to the breath
with a lot of love.

of feel-good meditation,
she's smart.

I know she's out here
playing a game.

And with that,
I feel like we're ready

to have a really,
really great day.

- Thank you, though.
- Thank you for sitting with me.

because we both
do have big hearts,

but we also aren't afraid
to be killers.

- This is my first time
doing this, so I may take a lot.
- Ooh.

- I'm so sorry.
- No, that's okay. You're good.
- You're doing great.

It's nice to be

- here at the water well today.
- Yeah. Yeah.
- Yeah.

Based off
of where we're at in the game,

I'm feeling grateful
for the experiences I'm having

and the connections I'm making.

But I need to create

a powerful alliance
moving forward.

- Hey, I care about you guys.
-I care about you, too.

I care about everybody,

- but obviously, you know.
-Yeah.

I love Jawan.

And now,

I'm really connecting with
Savannah. We're just kind of

naturally gravitating
towards each other.

Yeah.

Yeah.

And I think we're probably gonna

be the most dangerous people.

Knock on wood.

"This three is a vibe."

- Good work. Good work, team.
- Cool. Yeah.

-Awesome.
- Cool.

We got a good thing,
us three right now.

We just need one more,
because in a tribe of six,

you need a majority of four.

But we just have
to choose the right person.

I'm definitely having
a open casting call.

Who wants to join

the Uli Four?

Is it gonna be Sage,

the wacky social worker?

Do you like video games
and stuff?

- I... I like Roblox.
- Okay.

She could be, like,
a smoke screen character.

Is it gonna be
the young blood, the hero,

Rizo?

Yeah.

a JT and Stephen thing. Or

is it gonna be Nate,
the dad from L.A.?

You have, like,
a favorite movie?

- The Goonies?
- Yeah.

I love The Goonies.

When I see Nate,
he does seem like a great ally.

He seems calm, cool, collected.

Nice.

Who I choose for this four

will dictate the game.

So the casting auditions

are still wide open
at this point.

This is going to be difficult,

I'm not going to lie.

Oh, my God!

We are happy to keep

this camaraderie,
this all-for-one mentality.

And that, honestly, is a huge

mental lift.
I'm not questioning

things that I say to people
because I'm not worried

that they're about
to stab me in the back.

everyone's happy,
everything's optimistic,

we won our first challenge, but

that's all gonna come
crashing down at some point.

All right.

I'm trying not to have
my hand in too many cookie jars,

but I do think it's important

to start forming
some of these connections.

I knew I'd like you from, like,
the moment I saw you.

Yeah, I do.
I have that effect on people.

Yeah. You just... I don't know.

You just give me,
like, a really good feeling.

Right out of the gate,
Steven and I

made the strongest connection.

I really think
we've got a good beginning

of a strong relationship.

I was so excited to see
that you were on my tribe.

- Yeah.
- And so, I just

would really like
to work together.

I agree.
I think that you would be

a really good guy
to bounce ideas off of.

I've been feeling really good
about Steven.

There's just something
so charming about him.

There's something
so immediately vulnerable.

And hopefully he's not telling

everybody that he loves them.

- I, I really like you.
- Yeah.

- It goes without saying.
- Yeah, for sure.

- I-I'm...
- So I got your back.

I got your back, too.
It's funny.

My first impression of you,
I wasn't sure

how I would feel about you,
if I'm being honest.

Yeah, but getting to know you,
I'm like, "Oh, wait. He's funny.

- He's goofy. I like..."
I like your vibe.
- Nice.

I'm just doing
everything I can right now,

getting to know all
these people, and...

But at the same time, it's like,
"Do you actually like me?

"Do you actually want
to keep working with me?

Um, do you have
some side hustle going?"

but it might
just be social anxiety

because I was always
the smallest kid.

I was four-11
until I hit my growth spurt,

which was halfway
through high school.

So I grew up being bullied,
being picked on,

not feeling
like I 100% always belong.

And so I carry a lot
of imposter syndrome,

and that's, like, the fear
that's kind of

bubbling up inside of me.

What if I'm the first person
that they all, when I'm gone,

are like,
"We got to get rid of Steven"?

And, uh,

that's really tough.

How are we gonna decide if we
have to vote someone out? Like,

- who would we even do?
- It's too early to pick.

- Yeah.
- Let's just make sure
it's not me or you.

Exactly.

I'm gonna be honest,
there's a part of me

that's still back
in that high school

feeling like I don't belong.

I just want to feel accepted.

I'm bad with this, so
I probably just screwed it up.

- Thank you.
- I'm sorry.

As a dude,

you know
when another dude looks at you

in the eyes, and you're like,
it's a bromance.

My man...

Alex reminds me of me, just

a half-black me
that lives in the States, right?

Looks good. Big flower guy.

Big flower guy. Yeah.

Yeah.

in a nonsexual way.

Like, I don't know
why I'm doing this.

We're not doing that.
We're good.

We're just two dudes
just chilling.

Whenever you see
two gay couples, they always

- kind of look like each other.
-Oh.

Yeah. Like, the bears
stay together, then you have,

like, clean-cut, then you have,
like, your muscle jocks.

But Jake and Alex

are having this bromance,
and honestly

I'm getting kind of jealous,
I don't like it.

It's the Latina in me, you know?

You tell me I'm your number one,

I don't want to see you go flirt
with somebody else.

- How you doing, by the way?
- Good.

I'm just like, this is, like,
adding, like, a layer of anxiety

to the game
that, like, is scary.

and I already know
that Jake and Alex are together.

Like, let's face it. Like,
they're like the alpha male.

Like, they're bros,
they're super strong,

two straight guys,
they're athletic.

They just have so much
in common,

but it does not scare me for
alpha males to work together.

In fact, I actually want

to work with those alpha males

because they're shielding me
and they're never gonna

see me as a threat,
even though I am a threat.

They just don't know it yet.

Would anyone ever suspect

that you'd be aligning
with a gay guy?

- Like, I feel like...
- Nobody. I'm good with it.

It's not even 'cause you're gay.

No, no, no. But, no, no.
Just think of, like,

- would people suspect
that we were, like...?
- No.

- So, then...
- Do you want to do,
like, a secret?

Or do we want to come up
with, like, strong four?

- Yeah, so I'm gonna pull...
Me and Alex.
- Of course.

- It's a bromance.
- Okay, okay.

Right away,
I'm telling you that right now.

- Uh, as you should.
- I'm more than ha...

I'm going
to work on Soph, I think?

-
Okay. I want Sophi, too.
- All right? Yeah.

-You want to do that?
- Okay. Yeah.

Okay, I'll talk to Alex.
He'll be fine with it.

- Okay. Yes.
- He'll be fine with it.

- Keep that under wraps.
- Okay.

Back at home in Canada,

Jake and I would never
cross paths.

And, like, I would be
so fearful of him at the gym.

But, like, out here

I have connected
with Jake strategically.

At the moment there's four of us

coming together--

Alex, Jake, Sophi and I.

And he's just like,
"Yeah, get Soph."

So, who's the fourth?

Me, you, and Jake and Alex.

Oh, and Alex, too?

- Are you good with that?
- Yeah.

No, I know.

Aw.

So, before I left, my wife
wanted to give me a special pair

of socks to wear on the island,

and they happen to say Rad Dad.

But when my tribe called me Dad
for the first time,

the only thing
I saw was a big, flashing

red alert that you are older
than these people,

and they know it.

We should try to get coconuts
and maybe a couple papaya

- and get some calories.
- Yes, 100%.

And I got to figure out how to
build relationships with people

who aren't going to gravitate
towards me naturally,

especially knowing I'm already

the oldest person here.

Nate, how are you feeling
about everything?

Feeling pretty good.
How you feeling?

Good. Is there anything,

like, in particular
on your mind?

The rubber's gonna hit the road
at some point.

It sucks
'cause I do like everybody,

but at some point
we got to go, "Okay, but

- who do you want
to go into battle with?"
- Yeah.

I've seen teams being formed,

and those best teams
are the teams

that bring different things
to the table.

You don't want two Captain
Americas in the same team.

You want Captain America
and Iron Man

because they're gonna do things
that complement each other.

And that's a little bit
how I'm looking at this game.

- I know that you're thinking
about the game, too.
- Yeah.

And I would want
to work with you moving forward.

Have you been able
to gauge anyone else's?

100%.

And we're gonna need that.

- Yeah. Mm-hmm.
-And we will.

I think Rizo's very strong.
I think he's stronger

- than he thinks he is.
-I agree 100%.

That would be the four
that I would say

- we have to keep.
- I love that.

And for me,
that is music to my ears.

I don't want to jinx anything,
but I genuinely feel like

me and Shannon are gonna be
making the decisions

about who is the fourth person
that we need

in order
to have majority in this tribe.

Did you practice fire

- before coming here?
- Yeah.

Back home,
I've made fire for the past

year and a half,
practicing for this moment.

And I just want
to show my squad that, like,

I got them.

So I start striking
and striking.

But nothing is

catching the flame.

Being the oldest
of five kids, growing up

in a single-parent household,

I'm so used
to being someone that provides.

And out here on the island...

I'm having trouble doing it.

It's just frustrating
letting people down.

I see this frustration,
and I'm like, "Okay,

"this is feeling a little bit,

um, extreme
for just starting a fire."

That's extremely concerning
to me

if I'm looking at you,
who could be someone

who I want to align with.

Now I am starting to feel
pretty good towards Nate.

Jawan trying to make fire?

Two words-- red flag.

Come on in!

Hina! Hina! Hina! Hina! Hina!

Hina! Hina! Hina!
Hina! Hina!

I don't know, Alex.
I didn't hear anything from Kele

or Uli when you walked in.

Hey, it's gonna be all
on the court here, Jeff.

-Okay.
- We're not worried.

Okay.

All right, are you ready
to get to your first

immunity challenge?

Whoo!

All right, here's how it works.

On my go,
one pair from each tribe

will first navigate
a rope tunnel

and crawl through a muddy pit.

You'll then race into the jungle

to retrieve a spectacular

Survivor serpent.

Then you bring it back,
then the next pair goes.

Once you have
all three serpents,

three players must work together
to navigate a ball

and maneuver it along

the winding snake track.

First two tribes to finish...

win immunity.

This is what you covet
in this game right here--

the immunity idols.

In addition,

you're playing for a reward.

Want to know
what you're playing for?

What?

First tribe to finish--

this should help with shelter.

A massive Survivor tool kit.

Second tribe to finish--

smaller,
but will make a difference.

Yeah. Yeah, let's go.

Last tribe to finish--

Tribal Council tonight,

where somebody will be
the first person

voted out of Survivor 49.

And as a penalty for losing,
I will keep your flint.

Kele, you are still working

- to earn yours.
- Yep.

All right,
give you a minute to strategize.

We'll get it on. Here we go.

Here we go.

For immunity and reward,

Survivors ready.

Go!

Jake and Annie,

Rizo and Sage,

Sophie and Matt,
first through the rope tunnel.

I think you're good,
you're good. Come on.

-Oh, Annie, you got it.
You guys go.
- Yep. Okay.

You're good! You're good!

Everybody through the mud now.

Jake coming out first for Kele.

Here comes Annie.

You got to wait on everybody.
You're good. Go!

Sophie and Matt into the jungle.

Annie's through.
You're good, Kele.

You're good, Rizo. Go!

Matt heading up first for Hina.

Gonna be Rizo going up for Uli,

Jake for Kele.

You got
to free that 200-pound serpent

and get it back.

Hina has their serpent.

Hina out first.

- Why are you so quick?
- Hina! Hina! Hina!

Hina working through now

on their way back
with that serpent.

- You got it. Good.
-You got to go back

through that rope tunnel.

Here comes Jake and Annie.

Here comes Uli.

- You guys got it...
- Hold on. Get it in there.

- You're good! Go, Hina!
-Go, go, go.

- You got it.
- It's Steven and Jason now.

Good job, dawg. Good job.

Jake and Annie for Kele.

- Jake doing all the work.
- Come on, come on.

Get the tail end! Let's go!

- Get the middle.
- Get the middle in.

You're good! Go, Kele!

It is Nicole and Jeremiah.

- Sage and Rizo...
- Lift.

...taking forever to get back!

-You're good. You're good.
-Guys, let's go!

You're doing so good, guys!
Let's go!

You're good!
Get out there, Uli!

It's Nate and Savannah.

Let's go!
You got to get back in this!

Okay, yeah. Doing great.

You got it.
You got it. You got it.

Jason and Steven
have done a nice job for Hina,

keeping them in the lead.

You're good! Go, Hina!

Kristina and MC now,
the last pair out for Hina.

You got it.

It is Nicole and Jeremiah
slowing down now.

They're hung up in that rope.

Push it through here.

Oh, God.

I hope
Red isn't making up for that.

Savannah and Nate
have passed Kele.

- Let's go!
- Go!

Let's go!

A stupendous effort
for the behemoth serpent

to get them back in this.

Here comes Jeremiah and Nicole.

They have blown
the little lead they had.

Savannah and Nate
have made up a ton of time.

Drop it. Good!

Go!

Shannon and Jawan
now out on the course.

Through the rope tunnel.

Jeremiah and Nicole
are still struggling.

This is Survivor.

You want a picnic, go to a park.

Let's go. Pull it up.

You got it?

You've got
to get it in its cradle.

Now you're good.

Sophi, Alex onto the course.

We need fire. We need food.

- Let's go.
-Kele's in dead last.

Let's go, guys.
Come on. Make up.

Keep going.

Come on. Let's go, Kristina.

You've got this, MC.

MC and Kristina

- are blistering this course up.
- Keep going. Keep going.

Use those legs.

With that third
and final serpent for Hina.

You got it. You got it.

You're good, Hina!

On to the next stage.

Untie it.

Jawan and Shannon
have it for Uli.

Hina's now on the snake track.

You've got to maneuver
that ball through the obstacles

with three ropes.

Keep it slow and steady.

I'm just gonna
say left or right. Okay.

Sophie guiding Matt
and guiding Jason.

Left.

Okay, stop.

Let's go, Kele! Let's go!

Here comes Kele.

Here comes Uli with
that third and final serpent.

You're good!

Uli can start on the maze.

Kele still waiting
on their last pair to get back.

Guys, we're all tied up.

Once again,
Kele dead last in the challenge.

Go, go, go.

- All right, one...
-Uli in on it.

We've got Sage,
Nate and Rizo for Uli.

Okay, so let's-let's go right.

Looking for two.

Two tribes will be safe.

- Come on.
-Hina drops.

- Loses all that progress.
- Go.

- You're good.
-All right.

Kele, now you're in it.

Everybody is now
on the snake track.

You've got to maneuver
that ball through the obstacles.

- Here we go.
- All right, Nicky.

Come on.

Pull up towards your top left.

The question is,
which group of strangers

can communicate together
the best?

All good, guys.

Are we in sync?

Take your time now.

Go really slow.
Real slow, real slow.

This is about touch,
patience and listening.

I'm gonna go forward.
We need a little more slack

- on the left...
-Sophie doing
a really nice job for Hina.

They are past the halfway point.

Less right, less right.

Be very gentle.

Okay.

So you have to pull,
and I'm gonna let up.

-You got it.
-All right.

- Yes!
- Yeah!

- Baby!
- Stop.

Nice move by Kele.

- Kele was dead last.
-Slow.

You're back in this, Kele.

We are tied right now
with Kele and Hina.

Both past the halfway point.

We are literally
at the same spot...

on this snake track.

Let me go forward.

But Uli is gaining.

Go. Keep doing
what you're doing.

They're figuring this out.

Can you pull left?
Can you reach out to the left?

Yes.

Ball obstacle for Hina.

Got to get
around that ball drop.

Calm.

- Calm.
-And they did.

Nice job. Hina in the lead.

Then Kele. Then Uli.

Annie, pull it more to you.

- Can you?
- This is all...

This is as far
as it goes for me.

- If there's anything...
- Are you pulling it
with everything you have?

- Yeah, it's everything I got.
- More.

- More.
- Let's get it. Let's settle it.

Hina is as close
as they have been to victory.

They've got
one ball drop left to avoid.

Immunity is theirs.

And they're past it.

Okay, a little to the right.
A little to the right, Matt.

And for the victory.

Forward, forward.

There it is!

Hina wins immunity.

Safe from Tribal Council.

We're looking for one more.

It is now Uli in the lead
for that second spot.

Then Kele.

I just don't have any more...

I don't know what you mean.
Pull it.

Pull it as taut as you can

- and not move.
- This is as taut as it'll go.

A lot of communication
frustration

- from Nicole and Annie.
- Stay where you are.

When you put yourself
in this position,

being the caller...

...you are either saying

"I'm gonna win it for us"

or "I'm part
of the reason we lost."

-Get in there, guys.
- I'm gonna pull it.

Stop, stop.

Oh, my God.

Just like that, Kele drops.

Uli is very close to winning

this immunity challenge.

Pass this ball drop,
and you are home free.

And they are past the ball drop.

And there it is!

For immunity.

Let's go! Let's go!

Uli is safe.

No Tribal Council tonight.

Sending Kele to Tribal Council,

where one of the six

will be the first person
voted out

of Survivor 49.

Been a rough three days
for Kele.

Hina, congratulations.

Immunity win is yours.

Oh.

Uli, immunity is yours as well.

Nobody going home from Uli.

All right, Kele.

Tonight, Tribal Council.

Somebody will be
the first person

voted out of Survivor 49.

And as a penalty for losing,

I will continue
to keep your flint.

You'll have
a shot to earn it back

at the next immunity challenge.

Grab your stuff, head out.
See you tonight at Tribal.

- Thanks, Jeff.
- Thank you.

There's a reason
why we're losing.

And it seems like
it's because of either

Annie or Nicole.

Both of them did terrible.

And I'm just trying
to pick my poison here.

Which one is worse?

Because we do not
want to lose again.

Yeah. Before everyone...

After the loss
of the challenge today, it was

a little bit awkward because,
like, we're all

looking at each other and we're
kind of sussing out, like,

who is gonna be
the first person to, like,

name somebody
or pull off into, like,

a different group
to start strategizing.

We all know that we have
to go to Tribal tonight,

and to have
to send somebody home first,

there's just, like,
a knot in my stomach.

Just got real.

Yeah, do what
you need to do, guys.

Game plan coming back is,
we got to get rid of the weak.

We have to be a better team.

We have to start
winning challenges.

And I have to write down

a weak player's name tonight.

They have to.

I'm leaning towards one way.

We want to win games.

- I think we have
a better chance with Annie.
-Yes.

So I have Sophi,

I have Alex, I have Jeremiah.

And we decide that
it's Nicole's turn

to go tonight.

Because if we get rid of Nicole,
you know,

we're gonna get rid of someone
who does try hard,

but she just
couldn't figure out the puzzle.

And she is just kind of
slowing us down when it comes

to her physical abilities
for running

and athleticism
and cardio and stuff like that.

So getting rid of her is gonna
make our team a lot stronger.

How do we make sure
Nicole feels comfortable?

- Can't.
- How do we do that?

T-Today's the day.
This is Nicole's day, buddy.

We got to keep
telling her that she's good.

- Give her little fist pumps
every time you see her, right?
- No, I know.

Honestly,
the plan is to get Annie out.

Okay.

And so we just have to...

- You're not messing with me?
- No, no.

I mean, it's like,
she is just bringing us down.

I agree.
I don't want to, like...

- No one wants
to be the first one going home.
- No.

- I sure as hell don't.
- I mean, no. Of course not.

As a money laundering
investigator,

my job is to pick up on

suspicious activities
and red flags

that are indicative
of suspicious activity.

My vote is for Annie.

- Perfect.
- I won't forget

how strong you are with,
like, the puzzles.

Yeah, but, like,
I botched that completely.

- It didn't happen.
- You are so strong.

- Mm.
- Like, you are muscles.

I appreciate you saying that.

- You are muscles.
- Um...

I'm looking for if someone's
statement doesn't check out

with what I just heard from
the person I talked to prior.

I was trying
so hard on that puzzle.

- It was, like...
- I know,
and it was super obvious, too.

- You're not ... with me?
- I mean...

- You're not ... with me?
- Dude, I'm not ... with you.

- Dude, I don't know you.
We just met.
- I know. I know, that's true.

who is telling the truth
and who isn't.

If they're not
telling me the truth,

then I'm the one
that's going home.

I'm looking for: why are they

not making eye contact with me?

If I get any indication at all

that they are

insinuating a vote on me,

I'm playing
that Shot in the Dark.

No questions asked.

So it's nerve-racking.
It's unnerving.

It's absolutely terrifying.

Yeah?

Oh! Are you okay?

Mm-hmm.

Let's go. Let's go over here.

Sorry.

Want me to bring your water?

Uh, yes. Please, thank you.

I love Nicole.
I think she's great.

I genuinely think
we'd be friends outside of here.

Whereas Annie,
she's cool, but...

she's not talking to anybody.

She's isolating herself a lot.

But the overall consensus is,
Nicole's the vote.

- Yeah.
- Yeah.

- Oh, God. Okay.
- Okay?

- Yeah.
- Yeah.

-Okay?
- We're all with you.

- I know.
I'm not worried about that.
-We're worried about,

like, strength,
and, like, she can't compete

- in the competitions, you know?
-Yeah.

Yeah.

Tonight the plan is to vote out Nicole

and use me as a decoy.

But my personal mindset--
let's say

we vote Nicole off
and everything goes fine

and all is well,
and we lose again tomorrow.

Where does that put me?

So I need to make sure that

my name doesn't end up
at the next

Tribal Council
on that piece of paper.

We're easy to pick off.
We're the girls.

- We are easy to pick off.
I know.
- Like, we might be

the ones in conversation next.

If it was the three--
if it was you, me and Jeremiah,

and we picked off
one of those boys,

- then we're down to four.
- Yeah.

The merge
is happening soon after that.

If we got to that point,
where would your head be?

I don't know.

Annie came up to me

and said that, after tonight,

she wants
to get Jake or Alex out

and team up
with me and Jeremiah.

And so I had
to go along with it.

And then Nic goes home,
and then we get Jeremiah in.

Yeah. This is good.

playing the game, but it kind of

opened my eyes today
that she is.

So, Annie comes up to me
and she goes,

me, him and her...

She did?

- Oh.
-She's being...

- Time to go, baby.
- I know. I know.

- Time to go.
-So, isn't this crazy, though?

- Like...
-Paranoia.

I thought she wasn't, like,
thinking at all, but she is.

No, she's really thinking deep.

To Sophi, Annie's pitch is,
"Let's stick together

and eventually get out
some of these bigger targets,"

like me and Jake.

That really concerns me
about Annie right now.

All right, let's just play the
devil's advocate, like if we...

Okay.

because I thought Annie

was most closely aligned
with me.

But with Annie
throwing my name around,

I really don't know
if I can trust her.

And so, honestly,

I think it could be very
possible I have to vote her out.

Wait, hold on. It might--

Now I'm getting,
like, is that crazy?

Like, are we just gonna
give it all up with her?

This should be so simple.
We should be able to just

go in strong
and vote out Nicole and be done

and be back at camp tonight.

But I don't know,
at this point, who goes home--

Annie or Nicole.

Who is gonna help us
get the victory that we need

and make sure that, moving
forward, they stay true to us?

So you better believe that

I'm taking
tonight's Tribal Council

extremely seriously.

Behind each of you is a torch.

Go ahead and grab a torch.

Dip it in the fire
and get flame.

This is part of the ritual
at Tribal Council

because in this game
fire represents your life.

And when your fire's gone,
so are you.

That will be the case

for one of the six
of you tonight.

Wow.

Jeremiah, your legs are shaking.

Are you cold
or nervous or excited?

What is it?

Jeff, I feel like I've
been, like, living in this dream

for, like, the past 48 hours,
but it's now a nightmare.

Like, for a superfan

and being at Tribal,

like, the 14-year-old boy right
now is literally, like, in awe

and just can't believe that,
like, I'm actually here.

And what is the adult version
of you thinking?

I just want to be
that 14-year-old boy, okay?

So let's get into
these first few days.

Jake, you start
this game with strangers.

You don't know if
anything they're gonna tell you

about themselves
is even the truth,

but you immediately
head off into a jungle

and begin to build your life.

What is that like?

It's an absolute crazy concept,
Jeff.

And you're right,
we are strangers,

but we turn
into a family instantly

when we get to the island.

And it's working for us.

We absolutely love each other.

Eh.

Eh. Some of us.

We'll get into that.

So, Sophi,
is it just human nature to say,

"Okay,
this is literally my tribe.

- I must make this work"?
-Yeah.

And actually getting
to the camp for the first time

kind of felt like this
weird speed-dating situation.

Like, you're trying
to find these

connections with everybody.

But you never know.
It's Survivor.

So you might think
you're somebody's number one,

and you're working with people,

but you're actually
just their side chick.

And I...

I've been there,
done that, Jeff.

I'm not interested here.

So I'm trying my best
to really rely on those people

that I feel like
I did connect with,

but there are people who have
those closer connections

than others,
and someone has to go tonight.

And I'm just hoping
that that's not me.

Nicole, one thing
that typically happens

when you have a new group is,
people take on roles.

Sophi clearly can bring
a sense of humor.

Did you notice that happening?

100%.

So you have,
like, Mr. Happy-Go-Lucky.

He's just, like, good vibes,

just, like, a nice person.

You want him there.

You have Thor/Dad.

And then you have
rock star, glitter glam,

"I'm gonna build a shelter
in, like, ten minutes."

Wow.

You have pool service by J,

who does your laundry,

who brings you
food by the beach.

And pobrecita,
who is, like, our Latina mom.

So...

Jake, Nicole just gave her
assessment of everybody's role.

-Yeah.
-Now, what is her role?

She's-she's a hard worker.
She's a friendly person.

And she's
always giving her best.

And that's what
we love about Nicole.

Oh.

Honored.

- Thanks, Jake.
- You're welcome.

- Thanks for calling me Thor.
- I appreciate it.

I wanted to thank you, too,
Jeff, for putting the two most

contagious laughs
together on one tribe.

Literally.

- Like, with...
-Oh, my God.
It's never-ending.

When they get going, Jeff,

I'm pretty sure
North Queensland, Australia

can hear them, so...

This is a sound machine.

So it's a mess.

It's a mess.

Wow.

If you'd never watched Survivor

and you dropped in right there,
you would never know

you were about to vote
somebody out of this game.

- 100%.
- Yeah.
- Yeah.

-100%.
-Yeah.

So, Sophi, what is that about?

Because as a tribe,
you're 0 for 3.

Rough start.

Yeah, I mean, we're on a boat
right now that has a leak.

And in here, too, look at this.

But... and...

No, let's be clear.
This is not a leak.

Yeah, this is a boat crash.

- Shipwreck.
- A shipwreck.

This is where you're heading

if you don't plug your leak.

Yeah, and there's no way

to sail away
to the end of this game

with that leak.

And hopefully today
we can patch that up

and come out with a win
in the next challenge.

Jeremiah, what is
the criteria for tonight's vote?

Our biggest focus is,
we don't want to lose again.

And we need to be strong.

And we've agreed
to vote out the weakest player.

And so how do you compare

two weaknesses
amongst two people?

And, like, how do you determine

which one
is weaker than the other?

So you're saying that you've
got it down to two people?

Yes.

And the person
who is going to be voted out,

they have no idea

because they also think that
they're part of the majority.

So, Jake, what do you make
about what's happening tonight?

I do know whose name
I'm writing down tonight.

Like, we are a tribe,
so we got to get past this point

and start winning
to get to the merge,

then a whole
different game starts.

- Alex,
you're shaking your head.
-Yeah.

100%. I-I can appreciate that.

I think that we're focused
on the Tribal Council

right at hand,

but this is a long game, Jeff.

And so you need
to be thinking about,

"Oh, who at the merge is going
to be able to stick with us

and stay loyal and be
that person that we rely on?"

And so, yes,

we don't want to see you again
in the immediate future,

'cause we don't want
to be back at Tribal Council.

But it's also
what's gonna get me to the end

and what's gonna get me
sitting at Final Tribal Council.

All right, it is time to vote.

Nicole, you're up.

I'll go tally the votes.

If anybody has an advantage or
an idol and you want to play it,

now would be the time to do so.

All right, I'll read the votes.

First vote: Nicole.

Annie.

One vote Nicole, one vote Annie.

Nicole.

Two votes Nicole,
one vote Annie.

Nicole.

- That's three votes Nicole,
one vote Annie.
- Whoa.

Wow.

First person voted out
of Survivor 49:

Nicole.
That's four. That's enough.

Need to bring me your torch.

Wow.

Wow.

Nicole, la Tribu ha hablado.

Hora de irte.

Tomen sus antorchas,
vuelvan al campamento.

Buenas noches
