Kristina.

Dude.

I finally found something.

No way.

Previously on survivor...

We're going to randomly
divide into two groups of five.

The losing five, nobody has immunity.

That group will go to tribal council.

Whoa. That's crazy.

We have a showdown.

Savannah, stay.

Sophie's out.

- Savannah wins - for her group.
- Whoo!

- I'll be honest.
- I'm putting my money on Sophie, too.

Sophie just looks like the biggest threat.

- You think? - Yeah.
- Yeah.

My god.

It's a boat.

Is that Savannah?

I'm coming over here,

ready, honestly, to cause some chaos.

My number one ally has an opportunity

to bank her vote.

It's almost like a Christmas
miracle at this point.

That's fine.

Why are we going to target
someone that other people

want out?

Why are we doing their dirty work?

I'm gonna flip the script

and put a target on mc's back.

Mc's gonna have three
people. You get what I'm saying?

Why would you keep someone

who showed that they didn't trust you?

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

now would be the time to do so.

Ninth person voted out and
the second member of our jury:

- The tribe has spoken.
- Thank you so much.

Any final speculation?

I think rizo played his
idol, Sophie went home.

It's Sophie or rizo.

If it's anyone else,
I'm gonna be shocked.

I'm gonna be like, "what happened?"

I'm definitely thinking about tribal.

There's so many unknowns.

Best-case scenario,
rizo had to play his idol,

and then, potentially, Sophie is voted out,

because she's just
so great at challenges.

As soon as she is vulnerable,

you have to take advantage of it.

And it's even better
that she's in my alliance,

because I wouldn't get
any dirt on my hands.

- Hey, everybody.
- Hey.

Hi.

Yeah, mc was voted out.

- Wow.
- What? What?

Are e... wait, what?

The group that went to
tribal council walk in, and

mc is not anywhere to be found.

It's honestly like a punch in the gut.

- Yeah.
- Yeah.

Mc is someone that I was
taking to the final three,

and there's clearly this just shock

amongst the whole group,

and we're just, like, processing, "what?"

To be honest, it was a
unanimous vote for mc to go,

and mc voted Sophie.

And by the way, the
idol is still with rizo. Like,

how do you lose an alliance member

and still have the idol in the game?

It was literally the worst-case scenario.

From my perspective,

it was very obvious, early in the day,

that it was me or mc,

and I fought like hell to stay in.

- Yeah.
- And she threw me under the bus.

Yeah.

And... Yeah, that really sucks.

When I got back to camp,
there was a lot of like,

"my god, mc's gone?

And why is Sophie here?"

So does this mean you would
rather have me sent home?

Seems like there was a
lot of, also, surprise that

I was not the one voted home,

which is not making
me feel too hot right now,

I'm gonna be honest.

So, my intention is to figure out who

can I still trust. Can I trust Kristina?

I don't think so.

Can I trust Steven?

Maybe, but...

I'm definitely playing
free agent right now.

Savannah filled me in
that she got an extra vote,

which is great because

we're at nine people,
right now, in this game,

and that extra vote

can basically be another number for us.

From the outside looking in,

me, rizo, and Savannah look like

we're next on the chopping block,

but we actually have a lot of power here.

Rizo has his idol,
Savannah has her extra vote,

and I have

my knowledge is power
advantage that nobody knows about.

Today, I put on an absolute

master class of a performance.

It was absolutely cinematic.

I not only got out mc,

I not only gained a potential
ally in Sophie, but then

I did not have to play
my hidden immunity idol.

Yeah.

I know.

I know.

So from someone that was
digging his ass out the dirt

to climbing to the rooftops of Fiji,

I feel on cloud nine
after that tribal council.

My god.

Now that mc is gone,
I'm feeling a little bit alone.

And I'm finding myself
having to find new lifelines.

Who's gonna be my new person

that I place all my trust in?

At the moment, that
person feels like sage.

I really like the bottoms up alliance

that I formed with her and jaw an.

I think they're sitting very safely

in the power position,
right now, in the game.

So I want to do

what is gonna continue
cementing trust with sage.

I just want you to know -yeah.

We went idol hunting.

And guess who finds the... idol?

- Who?
- Kristina.

So don't tell anybody.

I'm putting a ton of...
So much trust in you,

but she's like, "this
idol's for the three of us."

"I'm not even gonna
tell anyone else." Like...

Okay.

So, like, if it gets out,
they're gonna know it's me

- that leaked it.
- I-I won't even tell jaw an.

Yeah. So she's got it.

I needed you to know that because

you, me and jaw an, like,
are the tightest thing I have.

Yeah. Yeah.

Steven confided in me
that Kristina has the idol.

But as much as I want to
tell jaw an about the idol,

I cannot risk blowing
up my spot with Steven,

'cause I really need to have as
many people who have my back

as far as we can go into this game.

Last night, everyone back at camp

thought it was gonna be Sophie.

And for her to not even know

that her name was the
number one out there

and for her to be shocked
that we were shocked

- that she came back...
- Yeah.

Just shows how, like, little
game awareness she had.

The tides are changing
right now at camp and I think

Sophie is a very good example

of what happens to a survivor player

when they don't see the tides are turning

before it's too late.

- How are you doing?
- Well,

when I came back, it did really feel like...

Dude, that was wild.

It was really weird. Like,
the energy was really weird.

It felt almost like people
were mad that I was still here.

And, like, how am I
supposed to respond to that?

It was wild. It was wild.

Like, "yeah, sorry."

You know, like, it kind of, like,
"" -opened your eyes a little bit?

It opened my eyes a little bit -yeah.

Because those were,
like, genuine reactions

- yeah.
- And not responses.

Exactly.

I feel like I just got Lasik.

I went from, like, fully
blurred vision, seeing, like,

my yellow blobs,

and being like, "yay,
they're my yellow friends."

To, all of a sudden, crystal clear.

And I'm questioning

my relationship with Steven and Kristina.

Now I'm questioning everything.

Honestly, yes, this hurts.

And, like, okay, so whatever.

Like, my freshman floor
friends are not my friends.

Yeah.

But I'm just gonna make
new friends, you know? Like...

Talking to soph and Savannah, my goal

is to build those relationships
with people that I have

not trusted, but I'm about to start playing

Sophie segreti survivor.

I'm looking out for the one
and only, and that's myself,

from here on out.

I'm not gonna run back and tell them

everything that you're telling
me. I'm not gonna run back

and try to vote with
them, -Savannah: Right.

Because I-I was at the bottom of that.

Sophie is completely isolated now.

And so it's an opportunity
for me, Savannah and rizo

to kind of pick her up and be like,

"hey, we're all at the bottom here.

We can work together and
get one of these big players out."

Maybe we're just Sophie
squared now. Maybe there

is room for two sophies on this island.

What are you thinking?

'Cause I feel like

you've got an opportunity to, like, sit with

a lot of, like, different
types of people -yeah.

A lot more the last couple of days.

So, like, who do you think
would make the most sense

to target next?

Well, I think either rizo or Savannah.

- Like, but then... - Yeah.
- If we, if we want

to get out yellow Sophie,
that's fine with me, too.

Yeah.

There's nine people left.

And, this whole game,
I've been playing the middle.

People have thought
they've been using me,

so they're sharing information with me,

and I know exactly what's gonna happen.

But we're at this point now

where there's basically
two sides... jaw an and sage,

who are the power group in this game...

and then there's soph,
rizo and Savannah,

desperate and at the bottom.

But I need to find the group
who wants to work with me

and stick with that group fully.

I think there's a clear target of Sophie.

- Yeah.
- But they want to get out one of you two.

No, I know. It's, like, I don't think...

It's, like, they don't want
to work with you guys.

I know.

It takes a very savvy player like myself

to see what Alex is doing.

He is trying to create lines in the sand,

while he's stuck in the middle.

Well, where do you stand?

I want to work with all of you, you know?

Like, I am a number for...

You guys, and if we all stick together...

Buddy, you can't work with everyone.

If you're loyal to all, you're loyal to none.

It wouldn't be beneficial for me to strike

at one of you, you know?
We can work together.

He might think that he's in the clear,

but I see your tricks, Alex.

And this is not your game, this is mine.

Come on in.

Here they come.

The nine remaining
players from survivor49.

All right.

Kristina, did the last vote...

given that there were five people

that didn't even have
anything to do with it...

did it change the game
because of that dynamic?

It absolutely did, uncle j.

It really, like, opened
my eyes, in particular, to

this is a very fluid game.

And you might be in
the majority on one vote

and you think you know
what's gonna happen,

you know, at the next vote,
and then it doesn't happen at all.

And so it really is just,
like, it's changing every day.

And you just got to, like, work to keep up.

Sixteen days in, and the game is fluid.

I like it.

All right, shall we get to
today's reward challenge?

- Absolutely, Jeff.
- Yeah. - Yes.

Here's how it works.

We're gonna divide
into two teams of four.

On my go, you're gonna race

to roll a very heavy metal cube.

You'll use it to retrieve a sandbag.

You'll crawl under a net,

and then use that sandbag to knock off

three rings from a very tall pole.

Once you have those three rings,

you will race to land
those same three rings

on that same very tall pole.

First team to finish wins reward.

Want to know what you're playing for?

- Yeah.
- Yes, sir.

Waiting for you back
at camp... fried chicken.

My god.

French fries.

My god.

- Soft drinks.
- My god.

Lemonade.

And for dessert,
cheesecake and blueberries.

- I love cheesecake.
- Ooh.

How big is this, jaw an?

This would be your first food,

- your first meal.
- Yeah.

I'm trying not to think about the food,

'cause every time I thought
about the food, I came up short.

So I'm trying to lock in.

I'm trying to make sure I'm not the curse.

But I have a feeling
today is gonna be different.

A little prediction.

All right, we'll do a schoolyard pick,

and we'll get this going.

Here we go. Game's changing again.

All right, we did a schoolyard pick.

Kristina was a captain.

She chose Sophie, Alex and Savannah.

Rizo was a captain.

He chose sage, Steven and jaw an.

Soph was not chosen.

Instead, she gets to wager on a group.

She's decided to go
with yellow, rizo's group.

She will win or lose with you.

All right, here we go.

For reward of fried
chicken back at camp.

Survivors ready?

Go!

First thing you got to do is work together

to free this heavy metal cube.

Got to get all the knots done,

then you start pulling on the bigger rope.

You got this, guys.

- Done.
- Yeah, good.

- Okay, I'm...
- No, you're getting...

Okay.

I'm getting out the rope in different spots.

Once you get all that rope clear,

you can start trying to move that cube.

- We're good.
- Hold on.

Who's gonna be out first, yellow or blue?

We're very close.

On the count of three.

One, two, three.

It's gonna be yellow out first.

Let's go!

One, two, three!

- Here comes blue, right on their tail.
- Three!

This is a very heavy cube.

Come on!

- Here we go.
- Good job. Take your time.

Let's go!

- You got to get it to this line.
- Slow.

It takes everything you've got.

That's how you do it.

Let's go!

You guys got it. One more.

Come on. Let's go.

You're good, yellow.

- We'll get up there.
- You got it.

- I might need help up.
- Gonna be rizo going up.

We have to get the line.

You're good, blue.

Somebody get up there.

You got it, Alex.

You're good, buddy.

Good job.

You got it, rizo.

You're good. You're good. You're stable.

Good job.

Gonna be Alex for blue.

Rizo for yellow.

Rizo whipping through this.

He's got the bag free. You're good.

Now you got to get under
the net with that sandbag.

Go, go, go. You got it, guys.

Alex getting through it quickly, too.

That did it. You're good.

- You got it?
- Yep.

Big food reward on day 16.

Fried chicken, French fries, cheesecake.

Got to get everybody to that mat.

You're good, Steven. Go.

Go, go, go, go.

You're good, blue. Go.

You got it, soph.

Steven has the sandbag free.

- Sophie has it free for blue.
- You got it, Sophie.

Now you're trying to
knock those rings off.

- You got it.
- Good hit, good hit.

Gonna take a little more pop.

Hard, straight up.

- Yeah.
- Sophie hits it, but not enough.

Steven hits it, but not enough.

Hard as you can, Sophie.

You're doing so good.

- You got it.
- You got it, Steven.

You're trying to free those rings.

Yeah!

Steven's done it. You're good, Steven.

- Go, go, go.
- Now it's rizo.

Take all the rings back.

Now you got to land the
rings back on that same pole

you just knocked them off of.

It's rizo now with that first ring.

Just short.

Hey, two-hand granny.

Yeah.

- Just like that.
- That looks hard.

Rizo's starting to
Gauge the distance now.

- Sophie's still trying to free her rings.
- There you go. Almost.

One more.

- One more like that.
- Rizo short again.

Sophie in a tough spot.

You start feeling that panic.

- Will this do it?
- Yes. Yes.

- Yeah! Whoo!
- That does it.

You're good, Sophie.

Get the rings back.

It's gonna be Alex now
with that first ring for blue.

We're back even now.

Someone go. Jawan, go quick.

- Give me a minute.
- Okay.

Jawan now heading in
to give the ring toss a try.

- And look at that.
- Let's go.

- He's got it with his first toss.
- I keep going?

Okay, let's get it.

Jawan has not had
anything to eat in 16 days.

Would like to change that right now.

Alex with a toss.

- There you go.
- Yes!

Alex lands the first for blue.

- We are tied one ring each.
- You got it, Alex.

- Three rings total.
- So good.

- Need a break?
- Yeah.

You got it, rizo.

- Now you know how it works.
- Here comes rizo.

Back in for yellow.

Just misses.

Keep going. You got it.

You got it.

Alex with another toss.

Alex with the second for blue.

Alex gonna stay in there,

try to win it for blue right now.

- Can I try, bro?
- Go.

Here comes jaw an.

Wants to take control
of his own fate again.

Jawan trying to tie it up.

Just misses.

Jawan, get back.

Alex for the win.

- There it is!
- Yes!

It's over.

Alex does it.

Alex, Savannah, Sophie and Kristina

will enjoy fried chicken, French fries,

dessert and soft drinks back at camp.

- I'm sorry. I'm sorry.
- It's okay. I didn't make any.

- I'm sorry. I'm sorry.
- Hey, dude, no worries.

- I'm sorry. I'm sorry.
- I didn't make any. - Soph,

come on in. Join the group you bet on.

Unfortunately, it was the losing group.

It's okay, guys.

Pardon me.

All right, Savannah,
Alex, Kristina... Uncle j?

What's up, Kristina?

Can I trade with
jaw an? Is that an option?

No.

It's okay.

I would like, if you let it,
I want to trade with him.

You are in charge of your reward.

If you want to give up your spot,

but it-it has to be agreed upon... I...

by the person who you're giving it to.

You got to eat, baby.

I want to earn it.

So, let's walk through this.

So, jaw an, Kristina is offering

to give up her spot at
the food reward for you,

but you're reluctant.

Yeah, uncle Jeff, I
struggle with receiving stuff.

I feel like I-I wanted to earn it,

and it's hard receiving stuff, you know?

Kristina, what's your emotion about?

Why are you so invested in jaw an?

It's just, I mean...

he's been fighting.

He has never complained
that he hasn't eaten,

like, at all.

He's still the one opening
coconuts this morning,

even though all of us
have had something.

And I just, like,

I just want him to know that
there's someone else out here

that's still looking out for him.

All right, so, jaw an, now the decision.

Kristina's been very clear.

She wants to do this.

It's her choice, but you got to accept it.

Otherwise, we don't have a deal.

- Take it. - Come on, please.
- Do it, please.

- Do it. Do it. -Please.
- Do it.

I think I'm gonna eat
the chicken, uncle Jeff.

All right, make the swap.

Love you, fam.

Thank you so much. Appreciate you.

Another unexpected moment.

Survivor49.

For the first time in 16 days, jaw an,

you're gonna have some food.

- Yeah.
- Can you already taste it?

Yeah.

Yeah, I'm-I'm starting
to think about it a little bit.

All right, Savannah,
Alex, jaw an and Sophie,

you're gonna head back to camp

and have an afternoon
of food and bonding.

Grab your stuff, head out, enjoy it.

Thank you, guys.

All right, soph, sage,
Steven, Kristina, rizo,

got nothing for you.

Grab your stuff, head back to camp.

I might be hungry, and I
might be having to drink

coconut water for a
few days, but jaw an has

the struggle of always feeling

like he needs to be the provider.

And, honestly, I don't know if
that's the mother side in me,

I don't know if it's the
natural nurturer in me,

but it was just something
in me that was like,

"no, let me take care of you."

Right?

I'm not going to be limited

- by the waistband of my other shorts.
- My god. Yeah.

So this is for us, right?

- Yes.
- All of it?

- All for it.
- This is for us.

My goodness.

My first reward.

- Should we do -a fry toast?
- Yeah. -Yeah, yeah.

- Yeah, yeah, yeah.
- Let's do

- a fry toast.
- Let's do a fry toast.

Cheers to the final nine.

- Yes, you guys. Cheers.
- Cheers to the final nine.

- Cheers.
- Cheers.

It was everything I wanted and more.

Get that chicken.

I can feel my superpowers
coming back a little bit.

I'm like, "okay, the player is back."

Thank you, guys, for
coaching me into it 'cause yeah.

- I was not gonna accept it.
- Yeah.

I mean, you are just
so deserving to be here

because it's like,

everything that you're
doing is, like, helping people

when they're down.

You're cutting coconuts
when you're exhausted.

You know? Giving
juice and all this stuff, like

you don't have to,
like, get this, like, award

to be deserving.

I'm, like, so used to, like, I
guess, helping other people.

And for me, not to get too deep, but, like,

growing up without my dad, you know,

I kind of struggle with,
like, acceptance and stuff.

- Yeah.
- So I'm so used to trying to, like,

make sure everyone's okay

- to kind of get that acceptance thing.
- Yeah.

I definitely feel like

I'm a provider in my everyday life

back at home with my siblings...

breah, destiny, Isaiah and jae'onnah.

You know, those are my
little knuckleheads at home.

And with me growing up without a dad,

I felt like I needed to be Superman.

But I find it really beautiful, the fact that

people out here like me for me.

And it shows that I don't
need to, like, put on a mask

and try to pretend to be
anything else but myself.

This is kind of cool.

Like, just to break bread with y'all.

- You know?
- Yeah.

Especially after last night,

- I'm like, "who? Hina, uli, kele who?"
- Yeah.

- I have no clue. No clue.
- Exactly. - You know? Like...

Kristina really hurt my feelings.

And even today, like, the mat chat

just kept being about like,

"my god. It was crazy
that mc went home."

But the subtext there is that

you thought it was inevitable
that I was gonna go home. And,

so, what, you would
have been happy with that?

Honestly, though, it's
a blessing, you know?

- That's true.
- Yeah.

- True colors. Yeah.
- At least I know. Yeah, yeah.

Sophie s. Feels like
she's been at the bottom

of the hina tribe.

She feels like she's been stuck.

I feel like we have so many parallels.

We both feel like we're at the bottom.

So, yeah, Sophie, that's
why you have to work with me,

'cause we can be at the bottom together

and help each other out.

You know, just to let you guys know,

I'm, like, I'm very open to anything, so...

- Yeah.
- Me too. I'm literally at the bottom.

I certainly am open for
business after yesterday.

My thing is trying to figure out, like,

all right, what's next
for all of us, you know?

Right.

Yeah.

- So I'm open -to anything, you know?
- Yeah.

So everyone's open. Yeah.

They think that this game is wide-open,

but ever since the merge,

all roads lead back to me and sage.

We're the top dogs, so...
I'm sharpening my blades.

And now I got some energy.

I got a little taste of blood.

I feel like your boy is
the king shark out here.

When I look around at my next targets,

I kind of hear thejaws music a little bit.

And, man, I'm ready
to tear this game up.

That was the one reward I'd actually, like,

probably enjoy, too.

I think everybody felt bad

about not bringing
home the food reward,

because, at this point,

every little thing that you get matters.

But for me, personally,

having killed two chickens already,

I'm okay not having the chicken.

I can't look at them the same way.

I'm having some weird
dreams about chickens, man.

I do feel a little bit of chicken guilt.

The two survivors are circling the camp,

and they're clucking as if they're like,

"we know what you did."

I could be okay not eating
chicken for a little while.

Well, I just want to jump in.

Yeah.

'Cause, like, I think this is our last time

to confidently get one of them out,

- when we have the numbers.
- Yeah.

We got to get rid of rizo's idol.

But, like, in reality, I want
Savannah to go home.

Sage really wants her to go home.

She is kind of public enemy number one,

because, I'm sorry, Savannah,

you give off mean girl energy.

Ooh, I love that.

Yeah.

Yeah.

So, of course, I love this plan,

because Savannah and
I have definitely had, like,

a rocky relationship out
here, and I can get pretty petty.

I enjoy collecting blackheads in jars.

Savannah very well could be

a blackhead that I just
pop out of this game.

Yeah.

I don't think rizo's
gonna play for Savannah.

I don't think he's playing it for her.

I don't think he would play it for her.

Rizo and Savannah...
one of 'em have to go.

But no matter what,

we are getting that idol out of this game.

Okay?

Point-blank, period, the
next time we go to tribal.

So we just need the numbers right now.

I have no idea where, like,
this next vote is gonna go.

I think we're just gonna..

- Rizo?
- Rizo?

- Yeah. That's what I think...
- And try to get this idol out, but...

I've not been with soph at all,

and I don't fully trust her at this point,

but I really do think that

she does really want
to be on the right side

of the votes.

And so she almost just
becomes, like, this easy number

that you always have

once rizo and Savannah
are out the game.

My thing is, like, he plays it, he's safe.

- Yeah.
- What's the actual target, then?

Yeah.

To be honest.

Kristina proposed doing,
like, this split vote plan

on rizo and Savannah.

And I'm just saying, "yeah,

I'm down to be a part of this."

He has the idol, so I
think we should definitely

- go for that.
- Like, we got to flush it.

But the truth is, I'm working
with rizo and Savannah.

I think it's

in my best interest to play all the sides,

because people are actually

telling me what they're thinking.

And I can use that to protect

my real allies in this game.

I feel close to Savannah
in, like, a personal way.

- Yeah.
- But, like,

on a game level, like, I don't know.

I'm trying to make, like, logical decisions.

Rizo has the idol,
Savannah has an extra vote,

and I have the knowledge
is power advantage.

So, right now, even though it seems like

we're the three at the bottom,

we actually have the most
power of anybody in this camp.

Hey, hey.

- Hey, what's up, guys?
- Wow. Welcome back.

During the reward,

I was biding my time
with all of these people

before I can have a
conversation with Savannah.

I know... But as soon as
Savannah comes back,

I fill her in on what the
other side is thinking

of doing at the next tribal council.

And I want her to know because

I do have her back out here.

And I think that in this game,
there is something to be said

about being loyal.

I still want to be with you guys.

I want to work with
you so much, and, like,

even if it's just me and rizo,

I feel like you should feel, like,

- safe in that, you know?
- I know.

- I don't know.
- Literally, since the Nate vote,

it's felt like no one has
wanted to play with me.

No one, like, wants to
give me the time of the day.

- Yeah.
- And, like,

it brought me back to a place, like,

a few years ago where, like,

I thought I had, like,
recovered from, like, this trauma.

And, like, it's still, like, very much there.

And it's, like, there's
something about survivor that,

like, brings back, like, all those emotions.

Brings back those, yeah.

- Yeah.
- Yeah.

And I get that.

I wasn't gonna tell anyone this.

- Okay.
- Okay, so you can't tell anyone.

- I'm not gonna tell anyone.
- I'm not even telling rizo.

Okay, go.

Okay, so I tell people I
used to work in marketing.

- Okay.
- I used to work in news.

- So I used to be a news anchor.
- No way.

Yeah.

- That's cool, Savannah.
- Yeah, yeah, so...

I told soph that I used to be a reporter.

I feel like she's not gonna vote me out

because I used to be
someone who talks on TV

and who might be good
at speaking to other people.

Like, honestly, it just felt right.

No, but that's good. Thank
you for telling me that -yeah.

For trusting me. Like, I'm
not gonna... tell anybody that.

Don't worry. Like, I have your back.

If it means anything, you
know that you, you have me.

Like, in and outside of this game.

- Yeah.
- Like, a million percent.

- I really have your back.
- Yeah.

I do feel special that
Savannah did trust me

with that information.

It really solidifies where
we are in this game

and where we are personally, as allies.

- I want us to be the three at the end.
- I know.

There is a path for Savannah, rizo and I

to get to the end, if
we play our cards right.

And we do have a lot of cards.

But, yeah, don't tell anyone about my...

- Past life.
- I will never.

But now it's time to play
and get back to work.

But everyone's gonna put
their votes on you this next tribal.

They want to split it between you two.

I don't think so.

Soph's told me there's a
conversation about having

a split vote plan

between Savannah and
I, which... it's no surprise.

I'd rather get Alex out
this vote, because...

I just don't trust sage
and jaw an at all. Like...

To get Alex out?

Yes.

- They're so erratic.
- We'll have to Gauge it. I know.

Alex, to me, is someone
that has his hand

in a lot of cookie jars.

And what I'm trying to do
is build a common enemy.

And right now, my
targets are set on Alex.

Alex. He goes, "why'd you
guys keep yellow Sophie?"

He was like, "that's all right.
We'll get her out tomorrow."

- He's playing the middle hard.
- He's playing the middle hard.

And he wants you out hard.

Any small, minute detail that Alex

has given me in this game, I'm trying to

use these words against him.

I want him out next.

And then, you know,

you kind of throw some more dirt on it

and just put extra details
that never happened.

- I don't trust Alex.
- I don't trust him.

- And I think he's playing the hardest.
- Yeah.

He's... like, he's trying to play the middle.

Yes.

I don't even know if it's true or not.

Wow. Very interesting.

But I'm willing to go to that extent

and do what I got to do

to create a bigger target on his back.

And I was like, "all right, dude. Like, I..."

When did he pull up on
you and say this? Today?

- Last night. Last night.
- Wow.

Alex is being way too messy.

It made me think twice on whether

I can trust Alex with information or not.

Why the hell would he say
that? And that makes no sense.

But is rizo someone I can trust?

I had my hit list,

and Savannah and rizo have
been on my radar for a long time.

So, I think I need Alex moving forward.

I think there's bigger fish to fry than Alex.

And right now, Savannah's
at the top of the list.

Come on in.

Hi, Jeff.

Still smiling.

Always.

Uncle Jeff.

- Uncle j.
- What's up, Jeff?

Hey, hey.

All right, shall we get to
today's immunity challenge?

First things first.

Savannah, got to take it back.

Thank you.

Once again, immunity
is back up for grabs.

For today's challenge, it's very simple.

You're gonna use your
feet to press against a disc.

As your legs get tired
and that fatigue sets in,

that disc will begin to slip.

If it drops, you're out.

Last woman... Wow.

And the last man standing win immunity,

safe from the vote, guaranteed a spot

in the final eight.

Losers... tribal council, where somebody

will be the tenth person voted out,

become the third member of our jury.

Stakes couldn't get any bigger.

Take your spots. We'll
get it on. Here we go.

All right.

Everybody, put your
feet up against that disc.

All right, I'm gonna count you in

on a three, two, one.

And you're gonna press with your heels.

That's gonna release your
disc, and now it's on you.

You're holding it.

Here we go.

Three, two, one.

Press with your heels.

Everybody is good,
and this challenge is on.

It's already a little uncomfortable.

It doesn't take much for
that disc to start to slip.

Slipping's okay.

That's gonna happen.

Dropping is no good, you're out.

For the first ten minutes,

you can hold onto your structure,

you can grab your legs if that helps.

You're free to roam.

After ten minutes,

you will no longer be able
to hold onto the structure

or your legs.

And that will get a lot more difficult.

Little bit of movement
with rizo on the end.

You start to feel it slipping.

That's obviously an indicator...

Something's not going well.

Rizo cannot regain control.

Rizo first out.

Right behind rizo, Kristina drops.

She's out.

One man out, one woman out.

We now have four women
left competing for a necklace,

and three men left
competing for a necklace.

Right now, everybody
that's left looks very solid.

Doesn't mean it's not
chaos inside the mind.

Steven, we need the space facts.

- You want some space facts?
- Hit us.

We need the space facts.

All right, all right.

You could fit every single planet

in our solar system...

I'm talking Mercury all the way to pluto...

side by side, in the distance between

the earth and the moon,

and you still got room to spare.

That is how vast space is.

It blows my mind every time.

Well done, Steven.

Love it, Steven.

- Keep going?
- More, more, more.

All right.

On the lunar south pole,
they've discovered water ice.

You can crack the
hydrogen from the oxygen.

If we're considering pluto a planet still...

To get to space, you need
safe, clean, reliable energy

that won't explode.

So if you can design a nuclear
thermal propulsion system,

you can create propellant.

Being in the moon or
being in deep space,

then, dude, you've got
basically clean energy

that you can now safely...
Sage can't take it anymore.

Sage drops out of the challenge.

- Keep going. Please.
- Sage drops.

No shot at immunity. Thank you, Steven.

I'm gonna get back to the challenge.

Much appreciate all the insight.

- I mean it.
- I love that you shared.

- Now we got to get back to this.
- Yup.

All right. In a moment, we're gonna move

to the next phase of this challenge

where you can no longer
hold on to the structure.

You can also not hold on to your legs.

Those are the two things

you're gonna really wish
you could, but you can't.

Here we go.

Dig in, everybody.

Three, two, one.

Let go of the structure.

You can't hold on to your legs.

It's gonna get a lot
more difficult really fast.

What the hell?

We're now down to Steven,
jaw an, Alex for the men,

and soph, Sophie and
Savannah for the women.

There's one necklace for the women,

one necklace for the men.

Who's gonna be wearing
it tonight at tribal council?

Seventeen days on survivor49.

You want to get to day 18.

Desperately.

Been doing this for 13 minutes.

Everybody looking really good right now.

Whatever internal monologue
you are using, it is working.

Little movement from Alex, but not a lot.

Soph with a little bit of movement.

Jawan's been hanging
in there for a long time.

- Jawan continues -to fight.
- Des. Jae'onnah.

Isaiah. Breahjna.

Alex is out.

No shot at immunity.

We are down to five... three women,

- two men.
- Great job, guys.

Great job.

Soph drops,

and we have another
showdown -sage: Good job, soph.

Between Savannah and Sophie.

A repeat from the last
immunity challenge.

Both have won individual immunity.

It will be the first win
for jaw an or Steven.

Jawan's struggling, but that disc

is still up there, and that is

- all that matters.
- You got it, jaw an.

You have no idea when
the people on either side

of you are gonna drop.

You keep digging in.

Jawan is out. Steven, you're good.

Steven wins individual immunity.

- Yay.
- But with jaw an, huge effort,

went as far as he could go.

Toes, legs ultimately gave out.

Toes are probably numb.

Everything hurts.

Steven did what he had to do,

which is outlast all the other men.

He has won his necklace.

And we are left with
Savannah and Sophie.

Two challenges in, both
women showing themselves

to be very strong competitors.

We know you're feeling it.

We know you're digging
into those reserves.

The real question is how
deep does that tank go?

When's the last time
you ever tested it like this?

- Two days ago.
- I was gonna say, yeah.

Host corrected again.

- Been up there 30 minutes.
- You both got it.

- You're killing it.
- Good job, guys.

For a very long time,

Savannah and Sophie have not moved

this entire challenge.

Probably going to end
quickly without much warning

when somebody just
cannot take it anymore.

I'm not dropping.

Okay.

I'm not just gonna give it to you.

- No, I know.
- You're making me work.

Smack talk is full on now.

I expect nothing less

when you're fighting for a million dollars.

But I'm not dropping.

My god, this is crazy.

- Been up there - 40 minutes now.
- God.

This repeat showdown
between Savannah and Sophie.

Seventeen days into survivor.

You never know when
you're the one in trouble.

I need it, dude.

I'm not dropping.

I'm not even close.

Sophie drops.

This challenge is over.

Savannah wins her
second individual immunity,

back to back.

What a battle.

Stellar performance,
guys, you're amazing.

Good job. Good job.

Huge effort.

Good job. Good job.

Steven, come on over.

- Yes, Steven.
- We got an astronomy lesson,

you got individual immunity.

Congratulations.

Thanks. So, what is this feeling?

Because everybody knows when
you dream of playing survivor,

part of that dream is, "could I
wear the necklace one day?"

You are. You are safe.

You've got a spot in the final eight.

What's the feeling right now?

It's incredible. I mean,
I came into the game

with a ton of imposter syndrome,

not feeling like I deserve to be here.

This kind of helps

relieve a lot of that that I've been feeling.

And I'd like to think that, out there,

there's a shark wearing a
necklace full of human teeth

that I would just like to say,

"keep on swimming, keep on
going, because if you don't...

"I'm pretty sure sharks
need to move to breathe...

so you might die."

But I think that it's just...

- I don't know.
- Do you know what you're saying right now?

No. Can you play me off?

Congratulations. You are safe tonight.

Head back over there.

- I love you, man.
- Savannah,

- come on over.
- Yeah, Savannah.

- Way to go, girl.
- Yeah.

Your second.

Back-to-back individual immunity win.

What is this feeling,

having this necklace on,
knowing you are guaranteed a spot

in the final eight?

The whole time up there, like,

I'm just thinking, like, "one in eight shot",

"one in eight shot, one in
eight shot," like, on repeat.

Like, I feel like if I dropped,

my name's getting written down, so,

it's not gonna get written down tonight.

- It is not. You are safe.
- Congratulations.

- Appreciate it.
- Head back over.

All right, as for the rest
of you, somebody will be

the tenth person voted out of survivor49,

become the third member of our jury.

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

The challenge went great for me

because my closest ally,
Savannah, pulled out immunity.

So with these rumblings of
being a potential split vote,

knowing that Savannah is safe,

the tides will have to change

for the other people in the majority.

And I've done so much work

to throw Alex under this big bus,

so, I'm hoping that will work

and give me another day in this game.

Epic challenges, hidden immunity idols,

blindsides, and it all takes place in Fiji?

Sounds like a fun summer
to me. Apply to be on survivor.

- Congrats, Savannah.
- Congratulations, guys. Great job.

- Yeah.
- That was amazing.

- It was.
- Congrats.

- It was awesome.
- Good job, guys.

- And you're awesome, too, seriously.
- Thank you.

It's exciting, obviously, to win,

but, like, it also feels like
this is more of a necessity

than anything.

I know that there are people
out here gunning for me.

They're freaking obsessed with me.

And so, honestly, like, if I
want to stay in this game

and ensure that I'm here and
not part of that crazy scramble,

like, I need to have this necklace.

So now that I'm safe,

I'm going with what I know to
be true, which is rizo and soph.

Those are my people.

They've been my people from

close to the very beginning.

And right now my alliance
plans to vote out Alex.

I know.

I'm voting rizo, 100%.

- Okay.
- He's not gonna play his idol.

If we can get him to not play it,

- and then there's four on him, he's gone.
- Yeah. And he's gone.

- He's been cocky, dude.
- Yeah, he's been cocky.

The last two rounds, he hasn't played it.

He hasn't played it.

Plans change, and
Savannah ends up winning.

So, the plan is, rizo tonight. We just need

to flush the idol.

Like, he continues to get by

week after week after week,

not having to play this idol.

So, if he's cocky, he's going home.

If he realizes he needs to
play his idol, then he's safe.

But if he does play his idol,
you have to have a backup plan.

Sage and jaw an have voted with us

- to get Nate out.
- Yeah. I agree.

I feel like we can trust them.

- They are, like, proven.
- Yup. Yeah. Proven, yes.

So we could split between,

I don't know. How do
you feel about soph?

- We can. I mean...
- I like soph, but...

Unfortunately, soph is collateral damage

for Savannah winning today.

We have - us three, Alex, -Kristina:

- Sage and jaw an.
- And jaw an. Yes.

Okay.

So it's been decided that

soph is gonna have to be the backup.

- Okay. Okay.
- I think he's gonna be very comfortable.

- Yeah.
- And I think he's going... The drivers

of the split vote plan
are Kristina and Steven.

And the pros of going with them is that

we either guarantee that
rizo is going home or if he

plays his idol, we flush the idol

and blue soph goes home.

Okay. Okay.

But I am now playing my own game.

And what I'm trying
to do is be a free agent.

So now, everybody is
telling me all the information,

and then I can make an
informed decision from that.

If we get Alex out, we'll be fine.

My question is...

I don't know.

Hopefully,

in the last 24 hours, I
have blown up Alex's game.

- So, all of us want Alex?
- Yup.

- Yeah. No worries.
- Yeah. I know.

- All good.
- I was gonna say... Cool. Cool.

And I've somehow been
able to shift a potential vote

on me to flush my idol

to possibly there being a majority vote

on Alex going home at tribal.

Yeah.

True.

So I'm hoping my plan works

so we don't have to play
the idol or the extra vote.

If throwing Alex under
the bus somehow worked,

- like, there's a path for us.
- Yup.

If we can get through this,
we're a guaranteed seven.

Yeah, yeah.

That's crazy.

I just need to scrape
past this vote with my idol.

- Wow.
- Crazy.

- Remain calm.
- Yeah.

'Cause if I do that, Savannah, soph and I

can control the game at eight

with Savannah's extra vote and my idol.

- I just want to make it through tonight.
- Yeah.

- You will.
- Do you think so?

But if I can't convince jaw an and sage

that Alex is bad for their game

and I'm good for their game,

I'm gonna have to play my idol.

- Yeah, yeah, definitely.
- I still want to work with you.

- You do, too, yeah, bro?
- I do, too.

Yes. Yes. I mean...

- I still feel really good about you.
- Yeah.

I want to take out rizo
because that's the plan

I've been really thinking
about for a long time.

But there's this dude named Alex

who's making it very hard for me

to actually do that plan.

Yeah. We're getting
down to the nitty-gritty.

Right.

I got to catch up with sage.

I'm like, "bro, just relax."

"Stop causing trouble.

I'm trying to focus on the big targets."

But he can't help himself.

And he's falling right into the firing line

because of rizo.

I want to be straight up with you, bro.

Rizo... he's coming for you, bro.

- He is?
- And... yeah.

Whatever happened, bro,
that's why I'm coming to you.

Yeah. Yeah. No, I... No, I appreciate it.

Like, you're the person
I want to work with.

- Yeah. I'm a loyal dude.
- Yeah, exactly. Yeah.

I'm, like... I'm down to rock with you,

- and I think sage is, too.
- Yeah.

Jawan mentioned that rizo's
throwing around my name.

It's, like, I'm scared, you
know? People are starting

to figure me out, and I can't have that.

- I appreciate you sharing that.
- Yeah. Yeah.

Like, I trust you fully.

This is where the game heats up,

and so, I need to figure
out how to work my magic

and get rizo out. Rizo,
you've got to go now.

Rizo was throwing my name around

- to, jaw an and sage.
- I heard, yeah. I heard.

And it was just like, ""

like, I just wanted to
ask around, you know?

Right, right. Yeah.

I want to feel comfortable again,

and so now I have to
rely on my relationships.

I mean, the ideal situation

- would be just rizo going home.
- Yeah.

And my relationships have
gotten me this far in the game,

and so I'm going to
hope that I can recover.

I love you and jaw an, and, like, -yeah.

- So I would... Why would I burn you guys?
- Yeah.

I want rizo out.

But who are jaw an and
sage going to believe?

Are they going to believe me
or are they going to believe rizo,

someone who's
desperate and at the bottom

and scrambling to get to the top?

Look, jaw an told me that...
that rizo said was that I was like,

"you better watch them,"
which is not what I said.

Okay.

I think Alex has definitely

been playing in the middle
and spilling a lot of information.

Yeah.

So, at this point, it
might make more sense

to get Alex out now versus later.

There's this thing brewing
between rizo and Alex.

I still haven't made up my mind.

My number one is sage, and
me and sage are a power duo.

She's the one person I trust the most.

We just got to make sure
me and you get out alive.

- I know. I know.
- Me and you to the end.

- Absolutely.
- I promise you.

So we're, like, in the middle.

We're, like, really the
core of the final nine.

- Thank you, fam.
- All right, yeah.

Me and jaw an easily could
go with the split vote plan,

and, like, try to pull a big move

on rizo, or we could go with Alex,

who is getting super messy and who

once never had a target on his back,

now has an enormous
target on his back.

This definitely is quite
the dilemma. I have

to weigh the scales a little bit.

This vote tonight is about

who is the bigger threat for my game.

Is it Alex?

He's causing so much chaos.

Or is it rizo with his idol?

This man can't be trusted.

These guys both need to go.

But which one needs to go first?

We'll now bring in the
members of our jury.

Snap.

- All right, so, soph?
- Yeah.

Catch me up. We leave today.

Two people have immunity:

Savannah, Steven.

Go back to camp.

- Yeah.
- What happens?

You know, it's a typical scramble, Jeff.

We got back to camp,
and we started talking.

You know, someone has to go home, so,

you have to have conversations.

You got to crack a couple
eggs to make an omelet,

- and so that's what we did.
- Alex, it sounds

like this decision

that somebody's got to
go was made pretty quickly.

You got the omelet
going, and then what?

Yeah, I think that
there were a lot of chefs

in the kitchen today,

and some people are
making eggs on the beach,

some people are making
eggs by the water well,

but eggs are being made.

Jawan, I had no idea
survivor could be this simple.

Yeah. That's it, you know?

Eggs, people.

That's it.

- What is wrong with you all?
- I don't know.

- We're hungry.
- Our chickens are not laying eggs.

- Our chickens are not.
- No. - We're hungry, Jeff.

We're really hungry.

- Shall we vote? - No.
- No.

No. Okay.

- So it's not quite that simple?
- No, no, no.

Okay. Rizo, what went
on at the beach today?

Yeah. In terms of game play,

fluidity is starting to become
a thing with this group.

People that might have
not been working together

in previous votes are
coming together tonight,

and I'm curious to see
the fireworks happen

at tribal council tonight.

Savannah, what do you
read into rizo's answer?

Yeah, I think rizo's answer is spot-on.

And I'm just going to
take a little credit here.

I'm happy to be the catalyst

of some of this cross-pollinization

that we're seeing tonight,

because I know that,
originally, the plan was

to put my name out there.

And I'm glad to have
disrupted this game a little bit

and encouraged organic conversations.

I think it's really great
of me that I could do that.

So your victory today

was as much philanthropic as anything.

I'm happy to take one
for the team any day, Jeff.

Soph, you've been at
more tribals than anybody.

Does that give you a different viewpoint?

Yeah, I do feel like going

to a lot of tribal councils has
given me an edge because

I've been awake this entire game.

And I've been kind of
waiting for some people

to wake up, too, because
it's easier to play with people

who are not asleep at the wheel

and are ready to make these moves

and kind of have a good read
on the game, like I feel like I do.

Rizo, soph didn't say,

"I'd rather play with
people who are asleep

at the wheel so I can take advantage."

She's saying, "I need
people who know how to play.

Wake up."

Yeah, Jeff. Strategically, you want to play

with people that think like you.

And I think for me, I'm starting
to find myself in the spotlight

due to my hidden immunity.
Well, it's not really hidden anymore.

So let me rephrase it. I think

I would be foolish to
think that these people,

even though they say

I might not be the one
getting votes tonight,

that votes are gonna be coming my way

'cause they want to flush this thing.

Sophie, if rizo has an idol,

and it's okay for my game
that he keeps that idol tonight,

then I'm fine with him keeping it.

If rizo has an idol and I need him

to get rid of it, then
that is a different thing.

What does that say about
the level of sophistication

it takes to play survivor,

to be able to dissect like that?

We have, like, surpassed
high school level survivor.

We are in the toughest
grad school class out here.

Because back in the day, it was simple.

You have an idol, you flush it.

But we know that he has an idol,

which means is the devil you know

better than the devil you don't?

Like, it's a strange game of chicken.

I don't want to keep
bringing it back to the chicken.

But we're all playing a
strange game of chicken.

Everyone is trying to figure out

what their risk tolerance is for

keeping it or flushing it.

Steven, are you noticing

the level of sophistication
that's starting to come up

in terms of everybody's
social game play?

Absolutely. Can I give
you a space metaphor

or a kangaroo metaphor?

- We have an option?
- Yeah, choose one.

Let's go kangaroo.

I wasn't expecting you to say that.

I only have a space one.

So, I liken it to kind of a space mission

where you're sending crew

way, way beyond low earth orbit.

And there's gonna be
communication blackouts

during those time frames.

And during that time,

you have to trust that mission control,

which are your allies, have your back.

Because you just have to trust

that when you are able to down link

and uplink information,

you're actually getting truthful data.

Sage, can you tell if
somebody's starting to stumble,

just based on what you've
learned about them already?

- Totally.
- It's kind of interesting, like,

when somebody is in
a calm state, and then,

when they maybe get, like,
a little bit more animated,

"you notice,"

"when they're talking to me this way,

their words usually don't
align when I cross-reference."

So, yes, you can tell, but then,

I've learned the hard way

that there's a lot of bluffers out here,

so it kind of depends on
who you're talking about.

Kristina, are you good at
sensing when you're stumbling

and able to recover, maybe in real time?

I don't know if I'm good at that or not.

Or is this my poker face?

There it is.

"I don't know if I'm
good unless I'm great."

Alex, everybody's got their own criteria.

They've got their own way of
looking at somebody and saying,

"-I don't buy it," or, "100% I do buy it."

How do you determine that?

It's just, like, my gosh, like,

you can't get through even a day

without not telling
someone the full information

or deceiving someone.

And so, you have to find a
way around things in this game.

And so that's your relationships.

It's going back to kind of

what you built when
you came into this game,

the connections you
made from different swaps.

Jawan, will tonight's vote draw any kind

of a line in the sand,

or is it truly going to be
another fluid game tomorrow?

I think for me, the past couple votes

have been about building trust.

I think tonight's slightly different.

I think for me, this is taking a shot

at a potential threat for my
game and my allies' game.

Sophie, jaw an is
saying, "I'm taking a shot

to get somebody out of this game."

That's when survivor starts...
Really kicking in.

Absolutely.

There is no such thing
as a easy vote anymore.

Nobody is throwaway.
Nobody is expendable.

And if you think that, then I think maybe,

like soph said, "you're asleep
and you got to wake up."

All right, it is time to vote.

Soph, you're up.

I really don't want you to go home.

Man, I hope that rizo is
cocky and doesn't use that idol.

But we had to have a plan b.

I just hope it's you, not me.

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...

Soph.

Rizo. One vote soph, one vote rizo.

Alex. That's one vote rizo, one vote soph,

one vote Alex.

Soph. That's two votes soph,

one vote rizo, one vote Alex.

Alex. Tied again. Two votes soph,

two votes Alex, one vote rizo.

Alex.

That's three votes Alex,
two votes soph, one vote rizo.

Alex.

Four votes Alex, two
votes soph, one vote rizo.

Tenth person voted out

and the third member of our jury: Alex.

That's five, that's enough.
Need to bring me your torch.

Aw, Alex.

- It's all right.
- Love you, Alex.

- Good game, Alex.
- No, I had a feeling, guys.

This is what I get for playing both sides.

At least you knew it.

- I love that, bro. That's dope.
- You guys all talk?

What is this?

Bye, Alex.

Jeff.

Thanks so much for the opportunity.

There we go.

Alex, the tribe has spoken.

Yeah.

- Time for you to go.
- Thanks.

Good luck, everyone.

- Bye, Alex.
- See you, buddy.

Grab your torches. Head back to camp.

Good night.

I don't want to be around these people.

Next time on survivor...

We're about to blow up the game.

It's done, and nobody
would see it coming.

They're gonna flip.

This is where players live or die.

We have to get her out.

- What?!
- What?!

I can't say I'm surprised, honestly.

I was a little too loose at the lips,

and that's why I'm sitting here.

I just am extremely grateful for this,

and I know that everyone
at home calls me a softie,

but I killed two chickens,

I brought home four fish for my tribe,

and so, I'm a lot tougher
than I might think I am,

and I know I'm a stronger
person because of being out here.
