Original subtitles

We went idol hunting,

and guess who finds, I don't know,

Christina.

So don't tell anybody,

I'm putting so much trust in you.

Previously on Survivor.

I need it, dude.

I'm not dropping.

Sophie drops, Savannah wins,

her second individual immunity.

I'd rather get Alex out,

at this point.

Alex, to me, is someone that has his hand in a lot of cookie jars.

I don't trust Alex.

Alex is trying to, like,

play the middle.

He's playing the middle hard.

So, my targets are set on Alex.

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

now would be the time to do so.

Tenth person voted out,

and the third member of our jury,

Alex.

The tribe has spoken.

Yeah.

Aye.

Congratulations on final eight,

everyone.

That was a sick answer.

He was like, that's what I get for playing in the middle.

And we're like, aw, Alex.

Alex, very visibly, was playing the middle.

I did not like that.

I want to be in the best position in the game,

so if I see somebody in a better position than me,

I make sure that I get them out of this game.

I didn't tell Steven and Christina about the Alex vote.

Genuinely, I would have told you.

Yeah, no pressure, man.

I get it.

It sucks, but my trio,

Savannah, Soph, and I were able to make it out of Tribal Council alive while still

pocketing my immunity idol,

and that's the reason why I call myself Riz God.

Hey.

You were home?

No.

I had no idea.

Outside of Steven, I literally do not trust a single person left at this camp.

The two of us went from the top,

knowing everything, to the bottom,

not knowing anything.

But, like, you have an idol.

Yeah.

And if they don't have me,

I'll play it.

Okay.

Yeah.

Part of me is scared,

but I have an idol.

They can't send me home next because I can have protection.

Sophie, come here.

Soph, come here.

What are you guys thinking now?

The easiest answer for me is Christina,

but I don't think that's the most smart.

Stupid.

I'm gonna leave Steven now.

He's very dangerous.

I know.

It's good because she's gonna be with me.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Christina and Steven are on the outs of everybody right now.

But I think the logical move is to have Steven go,

because he's good at this game,

he wants to play the middle,

he's very likable, and he can also win challenges.

And on top of that, he wrote my name at Tribal Council,

so, like, that's a threat to me.

So I just wanted you to know that,

like, I was writing your name down.

Don't even, like, worry about it.

Like, I'm a good sport.

Like, I don't take it to heart at all.

You know, if anything,

we're even, Steven.

I'm telling him, oh, it's okay that you wrote my name down.

We're even, Steven.

I wrote your name down.

But in reality, I'm ready to stab him in the back the second I get the chance to.

How'd you sleep?

I slept pretty good.

I slept really good.

Yes and no.

I just was cold.

So, I want to check in with you.

I did want to look for an idol this morning and just say I was going to the bathroom,

but I don't know if that's too aggressive at the final eight.

If I tell you something?

Yeah.

It cannot leave us.

I promise.

It'll never leave.

Because it'll blow up our games.

Christina has it.

She's an idol?

That's... So, here's what I'm trying to... But you cannot let Steven...

Because Steven's the one that told me this information.

So, I've been holding on to some pretty big information for a couple days now.

Steven let me know that Christina has an idol.

I promised Steven I would tell no one,

but I would like it out of Christina's hands sooner rather than later.

So, something in my gut told me this morning it was time to share that information with

Jawan.

He's been my number one pretty much since day one,

and I don't plan on changing that now.

Just don't tell anybody about that.

Oh, 100%.

100%.

You can tell them I have terrible gas and just farting,

but it's just the bad kind,

and so I just want to give everybody space.

Are you farting land now?

Nope.

That's all a lie.

But we're just going to go with that.

Everyone's looking when you're talking,

and everyone knows that we are close,

but I'm trying to make sure people don't know that we're gaming as hard as we are.

Like, does it look like they're talking game,

or does it look like they're talking farts?

And hopefully, I gave the impression that I was talking farts.

I got you.

So, you're just doing okay?

Yeah.

She has bad gas.

Christina having an idol,

that's dangerous.

If we were to stack votes on her,

and she play her idol,

anybody's up for grabs.

But my major red flag?

Steven knows she had an idol,

and only told Sage.

That doesn't sit right with your boy.

So, I just wanted to check in with you to make sure that we're all good.

Yeah.

I trust you.

The only person I don't trust is Christina.

Like, my only fear is Christina having something,

you know?

She's more shifty than anybody on this island.

I wouldn't be too worried about it.

I keep trying to gauge if Christina has it or not.

I don't think she does,

because she, like, never leaves camp.

I test the waters to see if he would fill me in.

Nothing.

This man's lips are sealed.

That just shows that in this game,

you can't underestimate anybody.

I'll check in with her again after the immunity challenge and just double-check.

The biggest secret to keep is the fact that Christina has the hidden immunity idol.

So, I'm going straight to his face,

because after a tribal last night,

I don't trust Juwan.

You have a good pulse on her and the game,

so I'm proud of you, and I'm glad you're here.

And I'm gonna keep you here a lot longer,

buddy.

Thanks.

I'm looking at him dead in his soul,

and I know that he's lying to me.

This is my first time having some doubts in Steven.

And maybe, just maybe,

I wouldn't mind seeing him go.

Like, I know it's a game,

and I'm trying to remember that.

And I'm having a really hard time discovering,

separating, like, game betrayal versus,

like, it feels like personal betrayal a little bit.

Who do you feel most betrayed by?

For sure, Sophie, Juwan,

and Sage.

It's because you're humorous.

I mean, that's why I love you,

is because you, like,

you feel things.

You empathize, and, like,

you've made genuine connections with people.

Dude, I feel it, too.

It sucks to feel like you used.

Yeah.

I'm trying to, like, remember that it's a game,

but I'm having a very low,

low today.

I am too trusting, and in this game,

you really can't trust anyone.

It's like, I don't want to be around these people.

Yeah, totally.

I'm not gonna lie, part of me today was like,

I want to go home.

Really?

Aw.

Back at home, when I felt this low,

it was my mom who I went to.

Come here.

She passed away three years ago.

I don't want you to go home.

She was literally my best friend,

and my mom would say,

get it together, do what you need to do,

and figure out what the next move is.

The good news is, nobody knows that you have an item.

Nobody suspects.

Keep that thing on you.

I'm wearing it now.

Because I do think this next vote,

it's gonna be either me or you.

Right now, it's not looking good for your boy Steve or Christina.

Christina can't win challenges.

She's not a challenge threat.

I have proven that I can win an immunity necklace,

so I think the obvious vote right now is me.

To be honest, I feel like it's gonna be me.

I think it's gonna be you too.

And I can play it on you.

Her idol is a huge asset for me.

That is the key to our diabolical plan.

My thought is we need to get Savannah out.

The key is figuring out where those votes are gonna go.

Then you and I can vote for Savannah.

And then it's done.

And nobody would see it coming.

And then as soon as that's done,

the game's wide open.

If we can play the idol,

catch them all by surprise,

Christina and I throw two votes on Savannah,

and that's who goes home.

It's all about the element of surprise,

with a huge dose of bamboozle,

leading right into the ultimate blindside.

I win!

Bring

in the vote!

I mean, what are we talking about?

Is there any better way to get to a challenge than that?

That is a rock star approach.

Come join me for Day 18,

Surviving 49.

Thanks, buddy.

Of course, dude.

What the hell's that?

All right, how's everybody doing today?

Stephen, how you doing?

I'm feeling rough, dude.

I'm not gonna lie.

I'm hitting the wall super hard right now.

Like the Kool-Aid man just smashed his head up against it,

and I need to power through.

Christina, I can see the wear and tear.

You wanna smile, you just don't have the energy to smile.

What's going on, Christina?

I'm just trying to keep it together,

Uncle Jay.

Christina, is part of what's difficult about Survivor maybe the most obvious?

Is that right now you don't have anybody to talk to that you know with certainty you can

trust?

Jeff, I want my mom.

I want my mom so bad right now.

My mom was my best friend at any time I was struggling.

She knew how to make it better.

You don't have anyone out here,

and I don't even have my mom anymore,

and it's not fair.

It's not fair.

And I'm just really struggling today,

and I'm really trying to be really grateful.

I'm really trying to dig deep,

but I don't know if I have it today.

Tell me about your mom.

Just her energy.

Everybody wanted to be around her.

We ordered 500 programs for her funeral and ran out.

It was balcony seating only because you just touched that many people.

So she left quite a legacy.

Part of which is you.

If your mom were here and she could give you a hug,

what would she whisper in your ear?

She'd say, keep going,

baby girl.

There you go.

Something I say all the time,

but only people who play can ever really understand is,

the game of Survivor is the lure.

That's what gets you here.

But the experience you get while playing the game is the real prize.

Years from now, you may not remember what you did on Day 7,

but Christina will never forget the moment she connected with her mom on Day 18.

Nothing to do with the game.

But you gotta play the game to have the experience.

That's what's happening out here.

You're transforming, Christina.

You're stronger now than you were five minutes ago for sharing that.

Yeah, absolutely.

Part of the reason I came out here was for the transformation and the journey.

I mean, I definitely feel it.

Christina, you ready to get to today's challenge?

We love you, Christina.

Seriously.

You got this.

You're still here.

Yeah.

Alright, let's get to today's reward challenge.

We will divide into two teams of four.

Here's how it works.

On my go, one pair is going to leap off a very tall platform into the ocean.

You'll make your way across a series of obstacles and retrieve a buoy.

Once you're at the finish,

the next pair goes does the same thing.

When everybody's at the end,

you will then swing those buoys and attempt to land them into very tall targets.

The first team to land three buoys in their three targets wins reward.

Want to know what you're playing for?

For the first time this season,

you'll be taken to the sanctuary.

Say it, Christina.

Where good things happen.

Absolutely, they do.

You will have a backyard picnic,

hamburgers, hot dogs,

all the fixings, and for dessert,

chocolate cake.

Worth playing for?

Yeah.

All right, here we go.

We're going to do a schoolyard pick.

All right, once again,

a schoolyard pick.

Soap was a captain.

She chose Sophie, Sage,

and Steven.

Juwan was a captain.

He chose Christina, Rizzo,

and Savannah.

Here we go.

Afternoon at the sanctuary.

Survivors ready?

Go!

It's going to be Sophie and Soap for blue,

Rizzo and Juwan for yellow.

The challenge is on.

You got to swim to that first platform.

Juwan going to take on the beam first.

Here goes Sophie.

Juwan making it look easy.

That's how you do it.

Here comes Rizzo.

Sophie midway.

Rizzo going to go back.

Rizzo with a hard fall.

Sophie's across.

Here goes Soap now.

You can touch it, just can't fall in.

Soap going to take a slower approach.

She's going to shitty across.

What's Rizzo going to do?

Same thing.

You got this, girl.

Rizzo making his way across.

You're so close.

You got it, Rizzo.

Rizzo falls off.

Got to go back to the start.

He was one step away from the platform.

Soap, you're good.

Make your way across the plank.

It's now blue in the lead.

Sophie and Soap.

Sophie gets there first.

Soap is good.

You're good.

Sophie now going to dive down and release a buoy.

Sophie got up very fast.

You're good, Soap.

It's blue now extending their lead.

Rizzo once again close.

He's at that same spot and he's good.

You're good.

Let's go, boys.

You want to cross the plank.

Go, Rizzo.

Get across that plank.

Go!

Stephen's up.

Sage is up.

You're good, Juwan.

Go!

Juwan's got to unclip that buoy and he does so very fast.

You're good, Rizzo.

Yellow's trying to make up some time here.

You got to get back up on the deck.

Go, Yellow!

It's Christina up.

Savannah up.

Stephen working on that beam now.

Can Yellow make up the time?

It's Christina and Savannah.

Get up there, Christina.

Let's go!

Go, Blue!

Stephen can head across the plank now.

Savannah doing a nice job on that beam.

That's how you do it.

You're good, Christina.

It's you.

Let's go, Christina.

You're good.

It doesn't matter how you do it,

Christina.

Hug that beam!

Stephen has the buoy.

You're good, Sage.

Jump!

Stay on that, Christina.

Let's go.

You're good, Blue.

A brand new element, Survivor.

Three of you have got to land a buoy.

Phil's going to be first up.

Good job!

Keep going, Christina!

Hang on!

You're still on!

Christina's hanging on.

Christina, you are still on that beam!

You're right there!

You're right there!

Pull yourself up!

You got it!

You can do it!

You can do anything, Christina!

You got this!

You got this!

Unbelievable!

Never seen anything like that!

Look at Christina go!

Christina, you are fighting for this reward!

So, once again, shorter...

Somebody else can come in.

Now, Stephen...

Savannah has the buoy for Yellow.

Come on, Stephen.

Christina, up and over!

Yellow is back in this!

You're good!

Let's go, Juwan!

Can Yellow pull it out?

It's Juwan now trying to land that first buoy for Yellow.

Stephen for Blue.

Stephen nails the first for Blue!

He's out!

Now it's Sophie in with that second buoy.

Juwan for Yellow.

This is all about touch.

Let's go on.

Sophie lands the second for Blue!

Here comes Sage.

You got it!

Good!

Perfect!

Juwan lands the first buoy for Yellow!

Take a breath if you need,

girl.

Sage could win it for Blue right here.

Sage on and off!

Almost pulls it out!

Savannah to tie it!

Savannah up and on!

Sage for the win!

Yes!

Sage pulls it out!

This is over!

Huge reward!

Soph, Sage, Sophie, and Stephen.

Afternoon at the Sanctuary.

Alright, Sophie, Stephen,

Soph, and Sage.

You're heading to the Sanctuary for a fun afternoon.

Grab your stuff, hop on.

Enjoy your backyard picnic,

which you earned and deserve.

Have fun.

Bye, love you guys.

Love you guys.

Alright, Juwan, Christina,

Rizzo, Savannah.

Got nothing for you.

Swim out.

We didn't win any food,

but like, I'm really proud of myself for making it through to the end.

I was able to just channel all that spirit that my mom had and like,

was fighting and fighting and fighting.

Like, I just kind of heard her cheer me on.

And I know that she's so proud and I'm back.

I'm ready to play.

Let's do it.

Christina, that was so much strength from you.

I hear that they're all inspiring.

Sorry, Rizzo.

No, I'm okay.

No, you don't.

Sit up.

Can't be too hard on yourself.

You okay, Riz?

Survivor will bring you down to your knees.

This game is not easy.

And I think it's really taking a toll on everyone in this game.

You alright, big dog?

Yeah.

Do you want to talk about it?

I'm okay.

Thanks.

When you have no food,

this game is hard.

This hunger, this like,

this soreness, I'm scratched up all over the place.

But I gotta push through.

Like, I'm gonna itch and claw my way to the end.

And I'm keeping my head in the game.

I'm good.

I'm just having a moment.

Okay.

Everyone has their own breaking point.

And we're hungry.

We're tired.

It's a funeral.

It's like someone's cat just died.

But I do like to make people feel good,

you know?

Just want to make sure we get some food,

you know?

Yeah.

We got fishing gear.

I know.

I can try to take a shot at it.

So, if we were back at home with my friends and they were sad,

I would bust open some snacks.

We don't got snacks out here.

What I do have is the Hawaiian sling.

So, why not try to catch some fish?

I'm no Aussie.

I'm just this small, black nerd from South Jersey.

I feel like a fish out of water.

This is new territory for me.

The fish, the colors.

It's like entering a new world.

Oh, he's like way out in the ocean.

Oh, that's awesome.

It is not easy.

Uh-uh.

It's like miss, miss.

But finally, your boy snags one.

I take it out the water and it's a baby fish.

Hey, not bad for a city boy.

But it feels really cool to come back with a little fish for the people that didn't win

the reward.

That's so crazy.

Oh, my God.

He's so cute.

Even though it's not that big,

I think they're proud of me because Survivor is all about the little things.

Sanctuary.

Wow.

Look at the burgers, guys.

Oh, my God.

It's a double bacon cheeseburger.

Oh, my God.

Those are fat.

This is insane.

Hope y'all don't mind if I just dig in.

Do it.

This reward means everything because I'm going to be honest,

the little barometer of my gas tank was actually below the E,

so this could not have come at a better time for me.

Look at the size of that.

I literally want to cry right now.

We won the biggest burger.

There was also hot dogs.

Bro, I freaking love hot dogs.

I want to cut it up into a bunch of little pieces and I'm eating a big old hot dog bowl.

I literally have never been this hungry in my entire life.

Me either.

I genuinely feel for Christina today.

Yeah.

Same.

To see someone down like that is horrible for anyone,

you know?

Yeah.

I feel bad for Rizzo,

too, because I know he's also been really struggling,

but it's like, I don't know.

It's an individual game,

guys.

That's what we have to keep reminding ourselves.

Like, this could be the energy you need to win an immunity challenge,

which could be bringing closer to a million dollars.

Yeah.

Million dollar burger.

Yeah.

Million dollar burger.

I feel so badly for everybody at camp.

But at the same time,

this is a million dollar game.

And I want that money for myself.

And what if this is the fuel I need to win the next immunity challenge?

That's what makes the sanctuary invaluable.

Wow, guys.

This hammock is so much softer than the ones at camp.

If anybody wants to join.

Nope.

I got you.

This is where you can get intel and get some one-on-one time and figure out,

are we on the same page?

We need to talk.

Okay.

I have a plan.

What are you thinking?

Give me a little hint.

Savannah.

Okay.

I'm down for Savannah.

The plan has always, for me,

been Savannah.

However, she has saved her literal butt by winning immunity time and time again.

I really hope Savannah doesn't win immunity.

I know.

That's the only thing.

We are getting down to really critical numbers.

And if we don't break up this trio,

the trio being Soph, Savannah,

and Rizzo, we are screwed.

I think I know how to do it.

I trust you.

Savannah seems comfortable right now.

And when Savannah is comfortable is when she is most vulnerable.

So now is the time to strike and get her out of this game.

We got to get her out.

All right.

If you are watching right now and talking to your family about how good you do in this

game, I officially invite you.

Apply to be on Savannah.

What else can we do today?

We just hanging out?

Let's write an actual song and perform it in front of everyone.

I'm down to actually do a boy band after this.

That would be hilarious.

Then you better start working on something.

Three boys on a bench.

Three boys on a bench.

Three boys on a bench.

Sitting here, you throw me a wrench.

I don't know how to rhyme,

so I just start talking in beats.

Here we go.

I'm going to pass the beat over to DuJuan.

Please don't kick me out of the boy band,

because I suck.

Here we go.

Three boys on a bench.

Three boys on a bench.

Three boys on a bench.

Three boys on a bench.

When you have downtime on Survivor,

the only logical thing to do is to obviously start a boy band.

Three boys on a bench.

Three boys on a bench.

Here we are.

We are on this bench.

It's me and DuJuan.

It's me with the stench.

I think Rizzo is the leader of this boy band,

man.

He's just got that soprano voice that gets real high.

Standing by the campfire and we're going to sing a song.

That was beautiful.

Three boys on a bench.

We already got three hit singles.

First one is, don't blindside me,

baby.

Second one is, you drive me coconuts.

And third one is, I got sand in all the wrong places.

Three boys on a bench.

Three boys on a bench.

Three boys on a bench.

Three boys on a bench.

Honestly, like, Steven is a really likable dude.

I really, really like him.

I'm getting that too.

I feel really, really bad,

but it's a game.

And, like, we got to do what we got to do.

If we're doing Steven,

I'm cool with it.

If it protects us.

I'm team us.

Yeah, I'm the same way too.

I like Steven a lot, but I feel like he's my biggest competition in these challenges.

And that's exactly why I need to get him out of this game.

I think that's, like,

the best for all.

I just genuinely want us to all feel a part of everything.

Yeah, I love that.

I love that.

This game is so fluid.

And so, me, Rizzo, and Soap are all aligned.

And I personally have my extra vote.

Rizzo has an immunity idol.

Plus, I have Sage and Johan.

Two people who, yeah,

we've had our ups and downs,

but I feel like they have my best interests at heart.

And I feel like right now we all have the same agenda.

No.

Rizzo, Soap, and Savannah think the votes are going to be on Steven.

But, you know who's a really good liar?

Sage.

I'm putting on the Oscar-worthy performance because if Savannah gets any wind that she's

under attack, she comes back full-fledged.

We're going to go for Savannah.

Are you okay with that?

Yeah, I'm with you 100%.

This is all dependent on immunity going our way.

Playing the middle has the most risk,

but it also has the most reward.

And if I could pull this off,

it's a huge resume move,

and Savannah would be out of the game.

How are you feeling?

I'm at the point right now where I know it's probably coming down to the wire and,

like, I'm an easy target.

Here's what I'm thinking,

though.

We still have the numbers to get Savannah out.

Like, we could easily do me,

you, Christina, Yellow,

Sophie, and Jawan and have five on Savannah.

Yeah, we need to get something out.

Sage's master plan is to get rid of Savannah.

And, dude, I love it.

It would be shaking up the current hierarchy,

which really does not favor me at all.

Are you and I still good?

Yeah.

Oh, my God, yeah.

I'm still feeling pretty uneasy about my spot in the tribe,

but because of my connection with Sage,

the light at the end of the tunnel is that much brighter.

That would be such a badass plan if we pulled it off,

but, like...

You're confident that you can get to Yellow,

Sophie, but I'm just...

That's why I'm back to Yellow,

Sophie.

And she's down.

I don't know.

I feel like she'll do it,

but, like...

You just never know.

I'm down to get Savannah out,

but tell me, what's your plan?

Nothing's really changed.

Okay.

But Steven and the Pope are Savannah.

We have the numbers.

Like, literally have the numbers.

Yeah.

Full throttle ahead.

Sage's goal is to get Savannah out.

You'd think I'm chafing.

But there are essentially two factions right now.

There is the faction that wants Savannah out,

led by Sage and Jawan.

Then there is the faction that wants Steven out,

which is Rizzo, Soph,

and Savannah, which means I am in the middle between these two groups.

But I'm not sure who I should go with at this point.

I honestly don't know how close you and Steven are,

so I feel even bad bringing this up.

Are you sure you're close to Steven?

Yes.

Okay.

I just don't want to make you do anything like...

No, no, no.

He is a threat.

He is a huge social threat.

It is crazy how I went from feeling like I had no power in this game to... I don't want to

say picking who goes home,

but it kind of feels like that.

She sounds like she's down to vote Steven.

100%?

Yes.

I'm going to piss off some of these people,

but I need to remind myself,

this is a game for a million dollars.

Be ruthless, be strategic,

and make nice when you're a millionaire back home.

Come on in!

I can see the smile from here.

This is what I came here for,

Jeff.

This is a good challenge,

I can tell.

That's what I love to hear.

Months and months of planning for this moment right here for you all to run it.

For one of you, it'll give you certainty tonight.

For somebody else, losing this will be the end.

Shall we get to it?

Yeah!

All right, first things first,

got to take back the necklaces.

Why are you both coming to me?

Thank you.

You're making your job easier.

Thank you.

Thank you.

Just need one today.

Once again, immunity is back up for grabs.

For today's challenge,

you're going to race into a survivor teeter tunnel.

Once you're through, you're going to maneuver discs around an obstacle until you release a

handle.

You'll then use the handle to transport puzzle pieces across a hinged balance beam.

Once you have all the pieces at the end,

you will use them to assemble a logo puzzle.

First person to finish wins immunity,

guaranteed a spot in the final seven.

Let that sink in.

Losers, tribal council,

where somebody will be the 11th person voted out and become the fourth member of our jury.

One more layer to today's challenge.

It's day 19.

Got a long time without food.

We've only got seven days left,

so here's your dilemma.

Oh God, the rice.

The rice.

Enough rice for everybody for the rest of the game.

All it requires is three people to sit out of this challenge and give up your shot at

immunity.

Christina, you're already saying no.

No.

Rizzo, what's your take on this?

Walk me through the dilemma of why this is even a consideration.

Not to burst your bubble,

Jeff, but for me it's not even a consideration.

And what's pushing me is the fact that I'm a one in eight shot of being a millionaire.

I can get rice seven days from now.

I can't get a one in eight shot of being a millionaire.

Joanne, you've been contemplating.

What are you thinking right now,

my friend?

I was going to say half the bag for two.

No.

I thought this was a negotiation,

no?

It is a negotiation.

Doesn't mean I have to say yes.

What's your counter?

The counter is...

Quarter.

What?

No.

No, no, no.

Let's not give away our power here.

In a way, you've already given away a lot of power.

Because you've already answered really the central,

dramatic question of this moment,

which is, you all want to fight.

You all came to play.

It seems very clear.

Don't waffle now.

Finish strong.

Damn.

Hell yeah.

All right.

Shall we draw for spots?

Let's do it.

Here we go.

It'll be fun.

All right.

Here we go.

For immunity and a guaranteed spot in the final seven.

Survivors are ready.

Go!

First thing, you're going to sprint through that teeter tunnel.

Brand new element on Survivor.

Just crawl through it.

It'll tip and throw you at the upside.

That's how you do it.

Let's go, Christina.

Come on, Soph.

Everybody's through.

Now you're going to maneuver these discs around the obstacle.

You're trying to get to the handle that is underneath the discs.

Christina is whipping through this.

Everybody moving very fast.

You want to stay in this game right now.

This is it.

Sophie has her fourth.

She's working on the handle.

Christina has her fourth.

Steven now has his fourth working on the handle.

Savannah's working on her handle.

We got a lot of people in this.

Sophie's first out.

She's going to now start on this next phase.

There's Christina right on her tail.

You can take as many pieces at a time as you want.

Sophie going with two.

Christina going to go with one.

Steven now going to go to the puzzle section.

Here comes Savannah and Rizzo.

Now you've got to navigate a beam without dropping the pieces.

Here comes Christina.

She's across the beam.

You've got to cross that line.

You're good, Christina.

Christina with one piece heading back.

Sophie has two navigating that beam.

Steven has three.

He's across.

You're good.

Sophie's across.

Here comes Savannah with just one.

Lots of different strategies here about how many pieces you think you can handle.

Christina goes to three and drops.

Jawan drops.

He's got to go back.

Rizzo's good with two.

Here comes Sage with one.

Steven not messing around.

He took three the first time.

He's taking four the second time.

And that's all there is.

Steven has all of his pieces.

He can start working on the puzzle.

Everybody else trying to catch up.

Savannah with two more.

Sophie's across.

Steven took a big risk by taking a lot of pieces and it worked.

He is the only one working on the puzzle.

Here comes Savannah with two more pieces.

Rizzo with a big fall.

He's got to go back.

People trying to make up some time.

Sophie going for broke with all her remaining pieces.

Can she keep it together?

You're good.

Start working on your puzzle.

Sophie going for broke with all her pieces.

You're good, Sophie.

Sage is across.

She can start working on the puzzle.

Christina drops again.

Savannah has her final pieces.

Savannah can start working on the puzzle.

Let's go, Juwan.

Right there.

Juwan, you're good.

Start working on your puzzle.

Down to Christina and Rizzo.

The last two.

Rizzo, got to get across that line.

Rizzo, you're good.

Start on your puzzle.

You got this, Christina.

Christina, you're good.

Start working on your puzzle.

Everybody's on the puzzle now.

Survivor 49, Day 19.

Eight people in the game.

One going home tonight.

Right now it's Steven in the lead.

Then Savannah.

Then Sophie.

Everybody desperate to get this puzzle together.

You get on a roll.

Suddenly you get piece after piece and now you're in the lead.

You just keep fighting.

Look for the colors you need.

Try to find the letter.

Part of the logo.

You've been wearing it on your head,

your arm, your chest.

For 19 days you know this inside out.

Now you just got to build the puzzle.

Steven with another piece.

Sophie quickly gaining on everybody.

Sophie with another piece.

It's now Sophie on the run.

Sophie is on a tear right now.

One piece after another.

Steven had the early lead but he's squandered it now.

Come on, don't tell me that.

It's now Sophie in the lead.

Then Steven.

Then Savannah.

Sage, Rizzo, no shot right now.

Christina, no shot right now.

No trying to stay in it.

Juwan trying to stay in it.

Sophie with another piece.

Steven with another piece.

It's now Savannah who's slowing down.

Sophie with another piece.

She can taste it.

Down to two pieces.

Steven trying to catch her.

It's not going to happen.

This challenge is over.

Sophie wins.

Individual immunity guaranteed a spot in the final seven.

Cannot be voted out of this game tonight.

Huge effort.

Sophie, come on over.

For the second time this season,

individual immunity is yours.

You are guaranteed a spot in the final seven.

As for the rest of you,

after 19 very difficult days,

tonight, Tribal Council,

somebody will be the 11th person voted out of this game to become the fourth member of our

jury.

Grab your stuff, head back to camp.

See you tonight at Tribal.

Congrats.

With eight people left,

the power of this necklace feels even greater than the first time I won it when there were

still 11 of us.

Tonight, I'm not worried about myself going home.

I can just think about the future of my game.

Because I have a future of my game.

I'm guaranteed to be here tomorrow.

We're about to blow up the game,

right?

Yeah.

We're about to take out Savannah,

right?

Yeah.

We have to get her out.

I have been saying since freaking day one,

we have to get out Savannah.

This is probably our last.

She was right behind them on the puzzle.

Yeah.

Finally, Savannah doesn't win immunity.

And so I can finally get Savannah out of this game.

I think it's really important that we take this shot while we have the chance.

Because I don't know,

I've been saying this almost every Tribal,

guys, I don't think we're going to get another shot.

Savannah, Rizzo, and Glusow are locked tight.

We have to break them up.

We have to.

This is our way to the end.

Our goal is to blindside Savannah.

But we've got to be careful.

We know that Rizzo has an idol.

He could use it on her.

So I feel like I'm trying to put on my best facade to keep this plan under wraps.

Stephen, yeah.

Yeah, we're locked in.

Yeah, I'm not worried.

I feel good.

Yeah, I just got to talk with Sage,

but she's locked in.

Yeah.

Tonight, three boys on the bench sadly has to eliminate one of our boy band members.

And it's going to be Stephen.

So in a group of eight,

the majority is five.

And I have my solid three of Savannah,

Soph, and I.

And right now, Sage and Juwan,

they're with us.

So we are golden.

I just don't want to be too confident.

I know.

I know.

It's hard not to be, though,

you know.

Okay, so we're just going all on Savannah.

Yeah.

As long as he doesn't bring Savannah.

Wait, wait.

Savannah or Christina?

Christina.

I just want to be straight up with you.

My gut says Christina might have the idol.

Okay.

I'm telling Sophie about Christina's idol because I have three things I want to happen

tonight.

I want Savannah to go home.

I want Christina to play her idol so it's flushed.

And then I want Rizzo to get spooked and finally play his freaking idol.

I'm going for throat tonight because this could be the most game-changing tribal of the

season for me personally.

Congratulations, by the way.

I'm so happy.

I'm definitely talking about Stephen getting close.

I'm like, damn it, no.

I have been playing the middle.

I got to pick a side.

Sage and Jawan want Savannah out.

But I kind of need Savannah because she is a challenge shield for me.

Sage, we're pumping.

I think Rizzo needs to play his idol on you.

Sage and Jawan have been playing the middle and flip-flopping back and forth for a while.

They have been calling the shots too long.

So today is the day for me to take more control moving forward.

They're going to flip.

I think so.

They are trying to get Savannah out.

And what I'm trying to do is make sure that Savannah doesn't go home and Stephen does.

He was the only other person close to me in that challenge.

But the only thing that could blow up this plan is if somebody else has an idol.

I'm pretty sure Christina hasn't right now.

Why not?

Because...

They're coming back.

They're coming back.

Okay.

Sophie has proven her value as an ally.

She's telling us about this potential idol.

The fact that she's telling us that Jawan and Sage is going to flip is all I need in a

crucial vote like this.

And if Christina does have an immunity idol,

worst case scenario, I will play my idol tonight.

If anything, I'll play the idol.

I think you need to play the idol.

For you or me?

Probably you.

You just ask for a vote,

Stephen, and we're fine.

I promise you guys.

Yeah, I'm locked in.

I'm locked in too.

Now how do we backstab them and do the best blindside ever?

I know, dude.

That's what I wanted to sync up with you on.

I think there is enough momentum to get Savannah.

If everything goes according to plan,

we're going to throw all the votes on Savannah.

And as a backup, in case everything goes wrong,

Christina will play her idol for me.

I think we should put one vote on Rizzo in case he gets wind of it and plays it for

Savannah.

And then obviously I play it for you because that's where their votes would be going for.

And then if there's one vote on Rizzo,

he goes home.

I can play my idol to save Stephen and I vote for Rizzo because if Rizzo gets spooked,

he's either going to play the idol for himself and Savannah goes home.

Or he's going to try to be a stand-up guy thinking we're putting our votes on Savannah and

then he goes home.

I'm very scared that I'm going to play it for you and then be the one that goes home.

You will not be the one going home.

You won't.

But I can feel my family saying,

don't play the idol.

Don't use it, like save it for yourself.

Get further in this game.

There's so much that can go wrong,

but I'm trying to play this part.

You know, the whole I'm at the bottom,

I'm a number, use me.

So that it kind of gets people off my scent.

Today I'm literally like,

people, use me how you want to use me.

I'm telling you that right now,

to your face, point blank.

Who am I voting for?

Wow.

What?

Like, I'm curious.

I know Christina wants me gone.

It's so bad.

So I'll just be real.

Like, I am someone who's very direct.

If I want to know who you're voting for,

I'm going to ask you,

who are you voting for?

Who else are you considering?

Like, who else are you considering?

This is very just like,

I know it's just, I...

This is how I talk game.

Okay.

Give me two seconds.

Okay.

I'm sorry.

Give me two seconds.

Yeah.

I don't like that.

I feel like I'm literally back in the newsroom,

trying to, you know, fact check,

see what's real, see what's not,

reading their body language.

You don't think I have anything to worry about,

do you?

No, of course not.

I know that Sage and Joanne are planning to go against me.

And so honestly, like,

I kind of like mess with Joanne a little bit too,

just to like kind of get in his head a little bit.

This is kind of a big one for me because it's the first time where I've like been

vulnerable.

Yeah, yeah.

This would be like a good test of trust for us.

Yeah, definitely.

Joanne lied to my face too.

I know I'm going to get votes.

I've been at the bottom of this tribe since it literally became a tribe at the merge.

Like, every vote for me is about survival.

And so I feel like I don't even have a choice of using my extra vote or not.

Like, this is a must play.

If I want to stay in this game,

it's got to be played tonight and it's got to be played correctly.

Oh my god, I love this extra vote.

Alright, if they have an idol,

and if they think we're winning,

see them.

Then let's just put it on the flip-floppers.

Sage, will you use my extra vote?

You want to just put five?

Yeah, let's do it.

Let's freaking do it.

And then they have no idea.

Sage and Joanne are very flip-floppy.

They go with the wind.

Why don't we just use Savannah's extra vote and vote one of Joanne and Sage out?

We let them think it's either Steven or whatever.

They can play the idol on them.

I wish we could just steal it.

There's also a worry that Christina has an idol,

but nobody knows that I have the Knowledge is Power advantage right now,

so if Christina has an idol,

I could snatch that from her tonight.

But if Christina doesn't have an idol,

I'm just going to look like a clown.

We have to tell her it's over for you.

They're going to be so bummed.

Joanne is so dumb.

He could have just gotten Steven out and now he might go home.

Sage is the better option to go home,

though, I'm telling you.

I think we should ask Sophie.

Joanne and Sage got caught,

and I'm ready to vote these suckers out,

but at the same time,

I actually think we should go with what Sophie wants because we need her to just ensure

that we have five votes.

We're good.

Honestly, I got this.

Long story short, I have an extra vote,

so it's going to be 5-4.

We just have to figure out who it's going to be on.

Joanne or Sage?

The flip-floppers.

The vengeance part of me wants Sage out now.

I guess I would rather do Joanne,

but I know you would rather do Sage.

I just think Sage is a bigger threat.

Both Sage and Joanne are dangerous.

Joanne is a good player,

he is extremely likable,

and I don't think I want to sit at the end with him.

I don't know.

Sage might be better at challenges?

What do you think?

Sage is also dangerous because she is doing so much lying and manipulation.

That's scary to me.

It was so easy when it was just Steven.

I know, I know.

Well, I think if we wanted,

we could still just go Steven.

I don't think she's going to play her idol for him.

I still think Steven could go home.

Steven is extremely well-liked by everybody on the jury,

he is great at making relationships,

and he's brilliant.

And so there are so many different possibilities.

This tribal tonight could go down as one of the craziest in history.

We have potentially two idols.

We have an extra vote.

We have Sage's name, Joanne's name,

Steven's name, all being thrown out there.

Can it get more crazy than this?

I don't know if it can.

Now bringing the members of our jury.

So Rizzo, even as you were walking in to tribal council where death happens,

you were smiling.

What is that a sign of?

I don't know why people are so scared to come talk to you.

I feel like for me just coming out here,

it's almost like I'm kind of here to put on a show and just kind of showcase what I'm here

to do on Survivor.

I feel like this is genuinely where the game is played,

and this is where the game's won and lost.

Savannah, Rizzo's saying this is where the game lives and dies,

and that's why I'm here to live or die,

whichever it may be.

Honestly, I totally resonate with that statement because it's the first time in a while I

haven't been immune, so I am one of the targets.

This is where players come to live or die,

and there's something weirdly exciting about that,

even though your dream is kind of at risk.

Sophie, you're smiling.

You agree too?

I agree.

This is your opportunity to change something,

to make bold statements,

to shake up the game,

and to use a sports analogy,

this is all practice for hopefully the Super Bowl,

which will be a final tribal council.

Wow.

Now, Sage, that's a really interesting comment because she's already seen the final three,

and she's making her speech to a jury,

which might include you.

So, I know nothing about sports.

I think I'm following,

though.

Super Bowl is the big football thing,

and so I would agree that that's what tribal council is for a lot of these relationships

that are being built and the trust that's trying to be built.

As much trust as you can in a game like Survivor when there's eight people left.

Christina, how about for you?

Uncle Jay, I know the rest of them are excited to be here,

but if you could feel my heart right now,

I am terrified.

I hate to read people,

but all of y'all are great liars,

apparently, so I actually really don't know what the plan is at this point.

Rizzo, what was the afternoon like for you?

Interesting with eight people.

Lots of ways it could go.

Jeff, I'm gonna be honest with you.

For someone that's been playing this game for 19 days,

you think to yourself,

like, all right, there's two people that were left out of the vote that's still in the

game.

Who?

Stephen and Christina.

Some might say, oh, my God,

it's easy pickings.

Choose whichever one you want.

So it almost seems too good to be true.

And I want the answer to that.

I want to know if I'm the one being beemboozled or if I'm the one that's in the know.

So, Stephen, what's it like to have Rizzo so clearly say,

look, there were two people on the outs.

If we want to just make this easy and get to seven,

just pick one.

I think it's all a matter of perspective.

I mean, for Rizzo, he's got the hidden immunity idol that,

you know, makes it a little more comfortable when you're sitting with a little ace in your

sleeve.

And I'm here fighting for like every single day just to make it to the next one.

This game, it's like a fight in the mud for a knife.

And you're hoping that you come away with the knife in your hand and you're not the one

getting stabbed in the back.

So, one of the reasons Tribal is so fun is because you don't know if what somebody is

saying is to test you or to reassure you,

to send a signal to you or to mislead somebody else.

Yeah, and even the chaos between Christina and Stephen,

like, is that also like smoke and mirrors?

Are they pretending to be worried and they're actually not at all?

Who knows?

Like, there's advantages in this game.

Who knows if like they're going to play one and then they're actually safe in this game?

Who knows?

You can't take anything at face value in this game.

You have to read into everything because it could all be a lie.

Savannah, so what are you forced to rely on?

Oh my gosh, you're forced to rely on,

I think, first of all,

your own gut instinct and then also your own past experiences with different people.

So, for example, if I'm talking to someone and I see maybe they're shifting their eyes a

little bit or they're talking even faster than usual or using their hands more,

those little intricacies can tell you so much about a person and not only that,

but that person's intentions going forward.

Juwan, try to explain how many different ways could this Tribal go in terms of criteria

for what the move is about?

This is hard, Uncle Jeff,

because everyone here is a threat.

I think I'm a threat too.

So I think you got to constantly look at what's best for you.

And if being loyal to the people that you said you were going to be loyal to got you this

far and you think it's going to be good for you the next vote,

do that.

But if you think you want to shake it up,

shake it up because stakes are raised,

you know?

And unfortunately, the person that goes home today might not see it coming,

but it's nothing personal.

And I feel like this person is charming and witty and a threat to my alliance.

Rizzo, is tonight going to be a blindside?

Jeff, I'm going to be honest with you.

I love this game because this is all just hoopla to me.

It's just everybody going out there saying whatever they want to say.

The truth will come out at the vote.

So kind of to answer your question,

is tonight going to be a blindside?

Absolutely.

I think if you make it this far in the game,

you should expect a blindside.

And that's what I'm saying to myself,

like, if everything is too good to be true,

am I the one getting blindsided?

And so far, I don't even know how I've been dodging these bullets.

And is today going to be another day for me to dodge a bullet or I'm going to have to

stand there and hand you my immunity idol.

So it's going to be a game time decision for me again.

And I know I'm like the boy who cries wolf,

but there's a point in time where the boy who actually cries wolf is crying wolf or not.

I don't know.

We'll see.

This is really fun.

And I actually really love being here.

All right, it is time to vote.

So you're up.

Oh, man, I love this game.

Today, I realized what an incredible strategic threat you are in this game.

I am so sorry to see you go,

but I would never beat you in a final trial.

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.

Uncle Jay, I have a little too many beads in my hair,

so I think it's time to take one out.

And this is either going to be the dumbest move ever,

or it'll shake up the game a little bit.

So we'll see what happens.

I'm playing this for Steven.

She's playing for Steven.

This is a hidden immunity idol.

Any votes cast for Steven will not count.

There's Rizzo.

Let's have a little bit of fun here.

So do I have a couple of words that I can say to the class?

Of course.

Thank you.

All right.

So I feel like a lot has happened,

and I feel like this vote is truly going to show who's with me or who's not.

And I have to do what's best to protect myself in this game,

and for that very reason,

I'm playing it for Savannah.

This is not a hidden immunity idol.

Rizzo.

Bro!

What the heck?

What?

Are you serious?

Bro!

Riz!

Are you kidding me, bro?

Any votes cast for Savannah will still count.

What?

Hold up, play her?

Play the real thing!

I'm good, Jeff.

I'll read the votes.

First vote.

Savannah.

Juwan.

One vote Savannah, one vote Juwan.

Rizzo.

One vote Savannah, one vote Juwan,

one vote Rizzo.

Savannah.

That's two votes Savannah.

Juwan.

We're tied.

Two votes Juwan, two votes Savannah,

one vote Rizzo.

Savannah.

Three votes Savannah,

two votes Juwan.

Juwan.

We're tied again.

Three votes Juwan, three votes Savannah,

one vote Rizzo.

Juwan.

That's four votes Juwan,

three votes Savannah,

one vote Rizzo, one vote left.

Eleventh person voted out and the fourth member of our jury,

Juwan.

You need to bring me your torch.

Juwan.

Sorry, buddy.

Raise your hand if you did it.

You got us.

We got you.

We love you.

Listen, buddy.

Show me some love.

You flipped on me once.

I wasn't going to let it happen again.

I love you, too.

I love you, bro.

Good job.

Good game.

I love you.

Wow.

It's OK.

Hey, it's OK.

It's OK.

Hey, you're good.

We tried and we made the wrong decision.

It's OK.

Good job.

It's going to be OK.

Do I grab my stuff?

What do I do, Uncle Jeff?

What do I...

Right here, buddy.

Thank you.

Good job.

Uncle Jeff, you win some,

you lose some.

Oh, I'm short.

Juwan, the tribe has spoken.

Much love.

I love y'all.

Love you, too.

Good game, bro.

Good game, buddy.

Love you, too, bro.

They got your boy.

Damn.

Grab your torches and head back to camp.

Good night.

Dude, he took my torch.

He said we're not a wizard.

I'm going to go for them,

too.

Next time on Survivor...

This is so brutal.

Sometimes you do have to get revenge.

Who let the biggest smile on your face?

I'm not going to apologize for that.

When you piss me off,

you go home.

They got your boy.

Oh, I thought I was like the silent killer,

taking them out left and right.

And then look at me.

I'm the victim.

I guess I was on somebody else's hit list.

But, hey, I made it pretty far.

I wasn't the first boot.

This has been my dream since 13 years old,

and I'm just living proof that anything is possible,

man.

Thanks for watching.
