Previously on Survivor, Michael provided fifth and took his leadership role to

new heights. Dear God, thanks for making me the leader of the troops.

Mike, thanks God for making him the leader of the tribe. I don't know when

was anointed, but apparently my back was turned.

At Ogacore, Kel, the loner, was the one serious about fishing.

But we do need to get some fish. Our plan for getting food is, uh, we don't

really have a good plan, actually.

And Jerry muffled in on Chef Keith's domain.

There's a bunch more things we can have than rice, and I'm ready to start making

some of them. She wants to cook some tortillas or brussels eggs. It's

No worries, mate.

Roger struggled with the reward challenge.

Water is not my finest point.

At the immunity challenge, Kimmy, the vegetarian, secured a victory for Kucha

swallowing a mangrove worm.

Sending Ogakor to tribal council where Kel was voted out. Kel, the tribe has

spoken.

Fourteen people are left. Tonight, one more will go.

Ultimately, this game is about the million dollars, but you need to take

steps along the way to get there.

And some of the small steps along the way to get there are eating because none

of us are going to win the million dollars if we don't have protein in our

bodies and we can win the challenges.

You guys, there's more food to be had than we haven't explored yet.

We still don't have food as a priority in this camp.

What's your chances of catching a pig?

Pig hunting, because we haven't seen like an abundance of them. You know,

like there's one out there. You know what I mean? We just walk around and

that during the day we run into this big pig the size of the table.

Mike wants to go out four hours a day and look for food because Mike is

Nobody else is up for that.

I'm going to find something that's alive that we are going to kill.

I am very, very determined to get a pig.

They got to drink sometime and there's got to be tracks somewhere.

and I'm going to ambush one.

Hey, Jeff, where's that spear you made?

I didn't finish it.

But if you're going to use it for a spear, then... Once I see a pig, it's

to be an incredible act of exertion to try and get it. But I'm going to build a

spear with the knife on the end.

And then I'm going to run one down and I'm going to get as close as I can. And

I'm just going to kind of, you know, figure it out from there.

Mike,

I'm a little worried you're going to lose that night. And I'm glad you

that to my attention. And I will absolutely positively not lose this

I hope he loses our night.

Just to give a valuable reason to go off on the bathroom.

We have one night.

And that one knife, it might as well be food. And he wants to go spear a pig.

Really? Have we seen a pig?

We haven't seen a pig. I haven't seen a pig. Believe me, if I see a pig, I'll

want to eat it. But to just go spear just because you want to come back with

on your stick and be like, rah, rah?

I don't know.

This is the pig killer.

The spear.

The spear.

The stupid spear.

I'm going to go catch pigs.

And he takes our knife and our rope.

That's Plastic Mike. He's an idiot.

I want to see your pig.

Go get me a pig.

Be honest. I didn't expect this adventure to be this

hard.

I find myself just craving food.

Doritos. I want a bag of Doritos more than anything in the world.

We haven't had any meat in a week now. And the lack of protein hasn't taken its

toll yet, but it's going to.

I think I'm going to go check for messages.

There it is.

Oh,

great aboriginal father.

Be kind to us. I haven't opened it yet.

It's time to rise to the top or make a big flop. On your shoulders will rest

tribe's fate.

For the food you've been wishing, you only get to go fishing.

So try not to get crushed by the weight.

Sure as hell could use a fishing line. Oh, my God.

I think the main thing that's been keeping us from getting fish is the

line. So this is a huge reward today.

I'm worried about running out of food and running out of rice.

We've been trying to eat sparingly, but it's going to run out sooner or later. I

would love to catch a fish out there or something.

It's going to be physical no matter how you look at it. What we're trying to say

is whether it's a group effort or if it ends up falling on one person. If they

choose one person, well.

Makes no sense that this is Colby. He's the strongest. My God. He's the

strongest. Yeah, I'd love you to throw that one up real quick. In 20 years,

be something bad.

Cowboy can handle any challenge.

Oh, yeah. He would die before he would fail us.

I would like to think that win or lose on this deal, my stock wouldn't

at all. And people can say, Colby, don't worry about it. We don't want to put

any pressure on you. If you don't pull through, it's no big deal.

But internally, I don't think that's the case.

Today, we've got a great challenge. Before we get to it, though, I want to

you the reward.

It's an outback fishing package, complete with line, hook, lure, and a

You got your nylon.

Now we know what we're playing for. Here's the challenge. It tests your

strength, balance, and endurance.

The object is for both tribes to get all these buckets of water loaded onto the

shoulders of the other tribe's strongest member.

The one who holds the bucket the longest without falling or quitting wins.

Each tribe is going to select one person to be the water bearer.

It should be your strongest person.

You're also going to have a person who is your loader.

This person is going to be loading the buckets of water onto the shoulders of

your water bearer. So when you get out there, Ogakor will take the water from

Kucha and vice versa, and you will load it onto your water bearer. The rest of

the people are going to transport the water out there, and you're going to do

with one of the beams across your shoulders, a bucket full of water on

side, and you'll make your way across the bouncing beams. If you fall, you've

got to start over.

You want as much water in your bucket as you can handle because your water is

going on the opposing tribe's water bearer.

Ogakor, you've chosen Colby to be your water bearer.

Kucha, you've chosen Michael.

Survivors ready?

Go!

Get your balance.

Good job, Amber.

No worries.

Take your time. Do your time.

Come on, Jeffrey. You got it, buddy.

You guys run out of buckets, it's endurance.

You guys now have all the buckets.

That means you're each holding more than 400 pounds of water.

Whoever holds on the longest wins.

66 buckets both these guys took on their shoulders.

Michael's pole broke before anybody quit. That means there's no winner, so

you guys are going to do a runoff.

We're going to do a five -minute time race.

The tribe that gets the most buckets on the other tribe's water bearer's

shoulders wins this.

Survivors ready!

Nice, we're done.

We've got four minutes.

Eight buckets Ogacore, six buckets Kucha.

We're all even at ten.

Two minutes.

Kucha 14, Ogacore 12.

Twenty -

so hard to get.

I mean, we have done fantastic on a small amount of food.

You get food in us, and we're going to be unstoppable.

We will.

Winning this competition means a lot more to us than just bringing home a bag

fishing supplies.

These are the days when it comes down to morale and the mental edge going into

this, and we're 3 -1 now. The stats are pretty good for us.

I certainly don't think this answers everything. We've still got to catch the

fish. The fish aren't going to jump into our camp.

I didn't think that reward challenge was very important because something told

me there really wasn't a lot of fish out here.

And it sucks that they didn't give us the fish. They give us the means to

the fish.

You have one.

Yes, I did. Yes, I think I have one.

That is awesome. I don't know what part we can cut, but you won't slide that.

All right.

I'm proud of you. I got it off the hook. I couldn't stop smiling.

Keith said there were no fish.

There's no fish out there.

Him and Kel both were saying that for days and days.

Holy crap.

They were practically jumping in the boat.

Chef Keith, you're going to be proud of us.

Here we go now.

We need the fish gutted and scaled.

When they came back with fish, they immediately said, oh, where's the chef?

chef word's never been used before.

As a chef, my strategy would have come in here and create just spectacular

dinners and meals. And until now, we've had zero luck at doing anything from the

rivers or from the floor, for that matter. Today is day seven, and we've

our first fish. So actually, that's not too bad. It did take us a week, but hey,

it's better than two weeks.

How did I know that once the fish was caught, I'd be the guy playing these?

You're doing that really well.

Especially with a dull knock, he's been exceptional.

Yeah, really.

I think right now everybody's pretty happy that Keith is there to cook the

that we've been catching.

I know sometimes he says things to other people that kind of rub them the wrong

way, but I'm probably the one who gets irritated with him the most.

I'm aware of that.

Wow. We'll just bread those today with flour and crust with the salt. We'll put

the salt on it and bread it with the flour.

We used to have oil, but it'll be okay.

Hopefully we don't waste the flour.

The most tension in the tribe seems to be between Jerry and Keith. With the

cooking and everyone responding well to her cooking, that put them on a level

playing field there. And so there's not really a power struggle yet, but it

could definitely come to that point.

Keith, we're all hovering over you like a bunch of greedy sharks. Like I'm doing

a cooking class.

Even when Keith was over filleting the fish, I noticed there were several eyes

paying attention. And what that tells me is...

then his stock didn't go up at all. All he did was basically play the role of

instructor on how to cook fish.

Ooh, looks a little bit like fish pie. Oh, no.

I can't wait to try it. Marilyn?

Oh, wow.

Thank you.

Oh, yeah.

Keith, I am so excited. That's good.

You like that? Yeah.

The fish that Keith made was excellent.

That was like a blessing because we were starving. We were so hungry.

Mmm.

So his first meal wasn't that great, but his first meal of fish was fantastic.

Oh, my God.

It is so good.

Tonight's dinner was definitely a success.

Oh, my God.

Since cooking the fish, I think my stock's gone up a good amount. I think

team has been pretty excited about what I've been able to do for them.

It is so good. I've never had such a great meal.

You know what? Jerry could do that. I could even do that. So having a chef out

here isn't as crucial as he may think because we don't have a lot to work

I'm usually on top of water.

I filled up eight jugs this morning, and now I refilled up to the second one. So

now I've done ten jugs of water.

You all right, Kimmy?

Yeah.

It's a lot of work. You've got to boil this Crocodile Creek water before you

drink it.

You've got to go down and fill up the big jug and then go up, boil the water,

let the water cool, put it in the big container.

I mean, it doesn't seem like you're contributing a lot because it's gone.

As soon as it's there, it's gone.

I have noticed the amount of work that Kimmy has been doing. It seems to be a

whole lot more than really just about anybody else. She's really worried that

she's going to be the next one to go.

I sometimes feel vulnerable because I don't have a tight, tight bond with

somebody that could be pulling for me in my corner.

You know, that might be a bad thing because I might just be like, oh, easy

target, pick Kimmy off.

This means that I've boiled everything in this jug.

Really? Every job and task that Kimmy takes on in this camp can be taken over

somebody else, for sure.

Jackie? Yes, ma 'am. You have lotion? You're good?

Yeah, I just put some on. Well,

there's sort of a little battle between Kentucky Joe and Kimmy.

Some of the people in the tribe feel that we will be stronger without

Joe. We'll try to catch some fish this morning, make a new line.

I know in the beginning there was talk of voting Roger off, and I tried really

hard to rally people not to do it, just because I feel strongly for him.

Kentucky Joe, although he's not a strong member of this tribe as far as

challenges are concerned, he knows what he's doing outside.

Back to the drawing board, maybe we'll catch one.

Always heard that the best place to catch them is where a crane runs into a

river.

Well, I was out here looking for sinkers to make a new fishing pole with, and I

found a little rock out here about that tall. It's shaped like a heart. He said,

here you go. What's that look like? And I said, a heart. He said, you take that

with you.

Give it to your boyfriend when you get back.

And he said, you just know I care.

And it just touched me.

You will.

Me and her just thing like we hit it right off the bat here.

You're so good at this.

Well, thank you. You're a sweet little gal. I'm telling you what, your parents

got a lot to be proud of you.

Elizabeth said she won't vote off Kentucky Joe, and he protects him.

It matters so much to me that he's around, so I'm not writing his name

Uh -uh.

I will not spell that man's name.

Marilyn, she's kind of like our little songbird and our little cheerleader in

our camp. So Marilyn and I have bonded more so than I have with any of the

people. It might be our ages. It might be that we just kind of took up for one

another.

Tina is a fabulous woman. She is a star.

I trust Tina the most.

I do not trust Jerry.

Is that crunchy peanut butter or cream?

Crunch. That had crunchy.

Yeah. Black coffee or cream and sugar?

Cream and sugar.

There could be something going on between Jerry and Colby. I mean, from

first day, she told me how cute she thought he was.

And at first, she didn't think that he liked her.

And I was like, Jerry, it's only the second day.

I'd really like it if Colby and I got together.

He's exactly my type.

He's a cowboy, and I'm such a sucker for cowboy.

Cake or ice cream?

Oh, cake.

Oh, dang,

ice cream.

Oh, Jerry.

Jerry and I are getting along great.

Every day we have more fun flirting with each other and seeing how far we can

kind of push it. Chocolate chip cookie or...

Oatmeal race.

That wasn't really a fair competition.

Oatmeal race never stood a chance in that battle.

Well, I think Jerry is legitimately attracted to Colby, but I'm sure that

strategic play comes in, is involved.

There's no question.

It's all right, though. I really, I don't mind.

I think Jerry's approach is just a lot of, she

wants to really feel important.

She's already got Colby on her side, but she gets, you know, on her side rubbing

his back and, you know, nuzzling at night, you know, that whole thing,

the blanket, all that kind of stuff.

So it's natural for Colby just to gravitate, and a little smoke screen

and so he doesn't have to feast or anything. So maybe he does, and I'm just

aware of it.

At this point, I'm not sure if Jerry has ulterior motives. Jerry is very capable

of defeating me or anyone else in the tribe.

And maybe she's not. Maybe I'm wrong. But I still can't let my guard down.

If it came down to me having to vote for Colby, I would.

This is speargrass. See how tall that is? Yeah, that's definitely speargrass.

That is speargrass.

Alicia and I, we went for that foraging walk together intentionally.

I've thought a lot about the voting, and I wanted to be able to get away with

her and just have her think about the future and who would be the most

to have with us in a Final Four that we could beat.

You and I are committed to each other for that Final Four. Right.

Because the truth of the matter is, I feel like you're the only one that I

really trust at this point.

Look at the size of that one. That is a major spider.

Jeff and I are constantly scheming and planning about how this thing should go.

Elizabeth can't be in the final four. She can't be because she'll make it to

end. And I don't think Nick can be either.

We talked about, you know, who we're going to vote for now, who we're going

vote for next time, who we trust, who we don't trust.

Nick flies under the radar.

Nick flies very much under the radar, and Nick is a total player. I don't

him as far as I can spit.

I mean, I feel Nick would screw all of us.

Nick is very lazy.

Don't let me take the fire with me as I drag this through here.

He won't pick up anything. He won't lift anything. If you ask him to help you,

he'll act like he doesn't hear you.

Thanks. All right. I didn't hear what you said.

That's okay.

I'm zoning out.

You know what? He's too secure in his position right now.

He's done our kitchen, which is lovely, and he's built a lovely little outdoor

chair, and he's built a lovely little patio, but only because he doesn't want

do anything else.

Mentally, you need to feel like you're comfortable where you are, and that's

I built the kitchen. I mean, the kitchen serves, you know, little purpose, but

it looks good. It makes you feel comfortable.

It's noticeable that you're doing work, which makes people happy.

Hey! Hey!

You get that done where I can sleep in.

I just don't see the necessity in making benches when we need firewood. I think

that that's not a priority. I think that's a luxury.

Unfortunately, we need him. So, you know, what can we do? He's one of our

stronger people. But when we get to a point where somebody in our group has to

go, he's going to be the first.

When it rains, it's a scary moment.

If the fire goes out, everything around us is wet, and we only have a couple

matches.

It was at the point where it was almost out, and there was hardly any light

coming off of it, and no heat at all.

It was really raining hard. We were not going to let the rain win over our

fire. It wasn't going to happen.

That was a rough one.

Cold, rainy, pretty miserable.

My side of the tent was all wet.

So I'd sleep in wet clothes with a wet blanket and sand.

I can't recall sleeping even a full hour.

Last night was a hard night.

It poured.

I mean, not just a little drizzle, it just poured.

People fight sometimes. We put the fire out.

We're up all night trying to keep that fire going.

I think the hardest thing for me so far has just been trying to catch up enough

sleep so the body's ready to go into combat in our challenges.

Everybody's kind of getting a little lethargic. The fish definitely helped.

was a big morale booster.

But I sense we're kind of on a downslide right now.

And it kind of scares me a little bit.

When you think about how low you are on nutrition and how hungry you are, being

tired just quadruples it.

Getting mail is always an exciting thing, but I was so weak.

Walking up that hill to get the mail was treacherous for me, and I knew.

I knew that inside there would be a challenge that I may not be able to do,

that was a depressing thought for me.

We got mail.

I think that you'll find that your tribe's in a bind between a hard place

rock. But if you work as a team, it's not as hard as it seems. Pull together

your win is a lot.

Rope. Maybe tug of war.

Bind. Bind.

Bind in here, which means maybe something's bound.

Maybe we're all going to be tied up or something. Rock in a hard place.

going to have to do with rocks.

We're a little weak for climbing rocks.

Not the time to be weak, brother.

I know.

I'm dragging. This is the most tired I've been.

Personally, I'm a little worried about myself.

I know I'm not going to be as strong going into this one as I have been in

past.

Come on down, guys.

Welcome to your toughest challenge yet on Survivor.

Let me get that immunity idle.

Today's challenge is very simple in concept and very tough in execution.

It's an obstacle course.

You're going to start by racing through a log chute.

Then you'll go down a steep sand slide into the river.

On the other side, you'll go through a series of obstacles.

Then finally, you're going to sprint across the sand to the finish line.

It's going to require a lot of physical endurance, flexibility, and teamwork

because here's the twist.

You're going to go tethered as a team.

You're only as fast as your slowest member.

If somewhere along the way a tribe member can't go any longer, you can

them, but they have to finish. The first tribe to get all their members across

the finish line wins immunity.

Here we go, guys.

Survivors ready?

Go!

Go! Go! Go! Go!

Go! Go!

Go, go,

go! Get down.

Come on, come on. Go, go.

Pick deep, pick deep, pick deep.

Go, pick it up, pick it up.

Come on, come on.

Come on.

Come on, guys.

This is yours.

You guys

know what I'm here to tell you.

Tribal Council.

One of you guys will be going home.

Our last immunity challenge was a real tough one. Mad Dog Marilyn, you know,

had a difficult time.

Had we voted for Marilyn last week and not Cal, I can almost guarantee you we'd

have immunity right now.

She's ready.

She'll be very understanding.

The mood in the camp is a sad mood, but it's also a very strategic

mood. Everybody's thinking, who's thinking what?

There's been five of us, myself, Colby, Mitchell, Amber, and Tina, who've kind

of decided to all vote the same.

My vote's not going towards Marilyn.

We've had a lot of physical challenges up until now, but I'm sure some of them

are going to be mental. And I think Marilyn could prove to be an asset.

Why should we lose her? For what? Because she fell a few times? Because

older? Why?

What kind of team is that?

She works my ass off. She's the first one up every morning with me doing it.

and me and her.

Mitchell does all right, but he struggles.

And, you know, he doesn't do a lot of work.

When's the last time you ever seen him go up in the hill and get wood?

Never.

Mitchell's the weakest of our strength in getting a lot of heavy work done.

And when it comes to the challenges, he's not, Marilyn, I think, stronger

he is in the challenges.

And all we need is just the four of us.

No pressure.

Yeah, thanks, Keith.

And I could be cutting my own throat doing this, but at least with Colby.

We can discuss it, probably disagree upon it, and it'll stay with us.

Keith's wanting to put you on the chopping block tonight.

And he's got Marilyn with him, and he came to me and Tina.

Strategies are starting to develop more and go in different directions. And the

more we learn about each other, the more you start to second -guess what you've

done. Keith is trying to pull around a swing boat and try to get me out.

Why do we want to kick off R?

Find Marilyn and then keep the pessimist and the backstabber. You guys ready? At

this point, Keith and Mitchell and Marilyn are neck and neck for Travel

tonight.

So let's talk about the fact that you guys have been here nine days?

Yes. You're in the honeymoon stage.

It hasn't even begun yet.

But I just want to talk about a couple of big topics.

Trust. Colby, is there anybody here that you don't trust, that you wouldn't

trust? Sure. Tell me about that.

Well, I think that's part of the game. It's way too early to tell exactly who

you can trust, I think.

What about you, Mitchell?

Trust everybody here for 42 days?

I think the motto is trust no one.

I have a lot of faith in a good number of these people, but I couldn't give 100

% of my trust.

What about you, Mad Dog?

Are these all your buddies?

Yes.

Yes. And Jeff, I trust with my heart.

Jerry, who here would you say you're closest to so far?

I've been very fortunate in my ability to bond with Amber and

Mitchell and Colby in particular.

I think friendship does enter into it at some point, but it's very important to

keep that separate from the game. Two totally different things, and that's

it gets tricky.

Keith, who have you bonded with?

Several individuals.

You know, and I guess I equate the bonding different than friendship. I

it's more of a camaraderie for me than it is actual friendship.

Jeff, I'm conjoined with Tina. Really?

She is a constellation.

And the cowboy.

Oh, the poor cowboy has dragged me around so many times.

I'd do it again.

You betcha. I'd do it again.

I'd do it again.

Colby, sad at all tonight?

Yeah. Yeah, I am.

Because any way the vote goes on this, the seven of us are really tight.

So the inevitable is here. We're broken up after tonight.

And that's tough.

No matter which way it goes.

Time to vote. Mad Dog, you're up first.

Mitchell, it just seems like you're tired.

This is probably one of the most difficult things for me to do right now.

purely strategic, nothing personal. I am going to miss you dearly.

Mad Dog, I love you. I value your friendship more than anything.

This vote has everything to do with the promise I made. It has nothing to do

with you. I hope you'll understand.

I'm going to tally the votes.

Once the votes are tallied, the decision is final and the person will be asked

to leave the tribal council area immediately.

I'll read the votes.

First vote.

Jerry.

Carolyn.

Mitchell.

Mad Dog.

Three votes for Mad Dog.

And a very sad Mad Dog.

You can bring me a torch, Mad Dog.

Mad Dog, the tribe has spoken.

Well, I don't think I have to ask how you guys are feeling tonight. I think

last vote probably says it all. Grab your torches and back to camp.

Stay tuned for scenes from next time in Maryland. Final words.

Next time on Survivor. Will Keith and Tina wage war against Jerry.

I had to come out here to be pushed around by a bartender wannabe actress.

And at Kucha.

Has Michael's bloodlust gone too far?

We've reached a new level.

I go out, I'm going out full.

I cannot thank you enough for selecting me, and this experience has meant so

much to me.

At 52, I can feel myself really coming alive.

Oh, hell, I'm tired.

Did this all really happen?

Did I do this?
