-Yeah.
-Uli tribe

versus the Hina tribe.

Hina! Hina! Hina! Hina!

- Hina! Hina! Hina! Hina!
- This is embarrassing.

They're just picking us off,
one by one.

Previously on Survivor...

Yo, I think us three,
lock, lock, lock.

- Yeah. Yeah.
-Absolutely.

and she thinks I'm stupid.

Mwah.

But I'm a wolf, baby.

I'm ready to eat her.

and vote Steven,

or we take out Shannon and...

blow this game up.

Seventh person
voted out of Survivor 49:

Shannon.

The tribe has spoken.

Thank you.
Thank you for the opportunity.

And thank you, guys.

-SAGE: Whoo.
-Guys...

- Friggin' did it.
- I love y'all.

- I love you so much.
- Oh, my gosh.

- I love y'all.
- Bring it in.

- Yeah.
- Let's bring it in.
- Oh, my gosh.

I was able to solidify trust
with Jawan

and Steven.

And I was able
to get out Shannon,

who was proving to be a pretty
big threat in this game.

Absolutely.

Dude, I feel amazing.

- Tonight solidified, uh...
-Yeah.

- Make some
really good stuff happen.
-Yeah.

The feeling at camp is--

to put it in Shannon's words--
pure bliss,

because we've now confirmed
that we trust each other,

that we can work together,

and that we're legit.

And there's no more doubt.

We made a big move, guys.

There's a lot of luck
involved in Survivor.

- Yes.
-And I think
we got a really good roll

-Yeah.
- that we ended up
finding each other

pre-merge,

because now
we have a solid connection,

and, like, we can just keep...
keep this going.

- Moving through this game.
-Yeah.

Like I said, y'all can go be,
like, double agents.

I think we can
ride that middle line.

So far,

the story's been
Uli versus Hina.

Uli's been winning.

Now we're flipping the script.

We are destroying
the status quo.

Uli is gonna
be shooken to their core,

'cause they think it was Steven.

They're gonna
think it's you, bro.

We're praying that
we're about to enter act two

into this game: the merge.
And

my mission is

I want to, basically, blend in
to the Uli tribe.

If we can put on
our best acting hats,

- Yeah.
- I'm telling you,

- we change the game.
-Yeah.

- Us three.
- Totally.

take out the top dogs
on the Uli tribe.

I'm nervous,
but I came here to play.

Nate!

Sophie!

- Thank you so much.
- Thank you.

Yeah!

Yeah!

It's the one thing you always
want to hear on Survivor

as a fan, is that you've made it
to the second half of the game.

Boom!

have survived a Tribal Council
in this tribe.

Now I get to meet back up
with my former Uli members.

So I have new life in this game.

Bye, Uli!

"It's day 13,

and the game
is about to change"!

Yeah!

This is the moment
that you wait for.

I'm on cloud nine right now.

All right,
drop your Buffs, y'all.

Like, I...

I want to start
playing the game of Survivor.

And heading into
the next stage of the game,

I know that Rizo has an idol.

And no one knows that I also
have my own Beware Advantage.

But...

I still don't have a vote.

So, like, that part
is what makes me nervous.

But the note said

that after the first
individual immunity challenge,

the next step of my Beware
Advantage will become active.

So I'm gonna have to get to work

and find that idol
and get my vote back.

Heading to the merge,

I'm in a good position
with the numbers,

because I know I have

connections
with the old Uli tribe.

It really feels like my game
is flipping around on its head.

And to top it off,
I have a Knowledge Is Power,

and nobody knows about it.

"It's day 13,

"and the game
is about to change.

"Drop your Buffs.

Your fellow castaways
will be joining you soon."

What?!

No.

Joining here?

-No way.
- No.

Last night, Sage and Jawan
voted against tribal lines.

So there's gonna be

a lot of people on the Uli tribe

that are shocked
to see Shannon gone

and seeing Steven
sitting right there.

I was thinking of a cool name
for the three of us.

What do y'all
think about "Bottoms Up"?

-Bottoms Up.
-Bottoms Up.

- Love it.
-That's fire.

We've got to get
our story straight,

so that the Bottoms Up alliance,

that includes me,
Jawan and Sage,

stays under the radar.

Should I hide in the back?
You guys

go out and greet them,
and then I...

- peep out from the back.
- Yeah.

Yes.

We are spinning so hard, we're
overthinking every small detail.

arrived.

And it's scary.

Welcome to Kele!

Do we wait up at camp?

Whoa!

SAVANNAH
What's up? How are you?

Oh, God.

This is crazy!

celebrating,
and cheering and hugging.

And we're like...

Should we go greet them,
or we want to wait?

They're all hugging each other.

Sophi!

They're gonna know we hear 'em.

and they're gonna start asking
questions if we don't come down.

And I hear someone say...

Where is everybody?

we decide the gig is up.

Oh!

When we land on Kele,
who walks out from the shelter

but Sage, Jawan and Steven?

And, immediately,
my alarm goes off because

I thought Shannon
was a number for me.

- It's so good
to see you, brother.
-Good to see you.

I can't wait
to catch up about...

Yes.

figure out whether or not Jawan
and Sage are still with us,

because the game has changed.

So we have
our work cut out for us today.

-SOPHIE: Should we sit?
-Do a little...

Yeah, what happened
at Tribal Council yesterday?

Okay. I'm gonna
take a drink of water,

and then
I'll take you guys on a ride.

Jawan, Steven and I,
we immediately are like,

"We got
to get our story straight

about the Shannon situation."

So I'm gonna be fake as hell
with former Uli.

Like, we want to convince them

this was best for everyone's
game to get Shannon out.

Listen, I'm not doubting that
she's, like, a genuine person,

but where, like,
Shannon, who's normally like,

"Hey, guys, peace and love,
like, we're all family here."

All of a sudden, she starts
getting really snappy.

She starts, like...

Spiraling.

- It was like a different person.
-She starts...

Within two seconds
of Jawan getting here,

she's like,
"We got to get Jawan out."

- And I was like, "I'm confused."
-Yeah.

She made sure she was,
like, looking for idols,

she was scrambling,
and it just was weird.

The hope is that
they really trust

in our facade.

Right now, it feels like we're
putting on a musical, you know?

If we pull this off,

we can flip the script.

And I'm excited.

I think that
that paranoia set in,

and things just got
a little bit too chaotic.

It's crazy how much paranoia can
really, like, change someone.

- Yeah.
- Yeah.

So, Sage, Jawan
and Steven all let us know

that Shannon had
sort of lost her mind a bit,

in her final hours on the beach.

So I think there's a chance that

we can go back to Jawan and Sage

and form an old Uli alliance.

So it was a total blindside?

She-- How was actual Tribal?

She voted for me.

Wow.

- I think she just got cocky.
-Yeah.

Oh, my gosh.

Um, I'm so sorry because...

It's okay. I don't care.

Sage, I love you.

- Thank you.
- You're good.

- Thank you.
- Trust me.

Like, you're good.

- I appreciate you.
I appreciate you.
- I love you, okay?

And I want to work with you.

- Thank you. I do, too.
- I want to work with you.

Back at the original Uli camp,

I was really annoyed
with Sage for a while.

And...

I've had moments
where I've wanted

to throw Jawan
off of the side of a cliff.

Now I see

Shannon as this driver of chaos.

And I need Sage and Jawan.

I don't need
to be everybody's best friend.

As long as they are

on my side,
that's enough for me right now.

We were so nervous about, like,

we don't want
you guys to feel like...

- No.
- Yeah.

And I feel like I was...

for the sake of having numbers.

I don't think that Savannah
wants to work with me

genuinely because she likes me
or sees value in me as a player.

So when Savannah's looking
deep in my soul and saying,

"Sage, it's okay.

I want to work with you. Don't
worry about it. We are good."

And I'm like...

"Savannah, thank you so much.
That makes me feel so good."

Meanwhile, I'm like,

"You're the next to go,
the second I get the chance."

Hey, there's a boat.

-There's a boat.
-Oh.

No, it's not.

-Oh.
-For us?

We're sitting around camp,
and, all of a sudden,

we hear another boat.

What could this friggin' be?

We already had a boat today.

-Is it food,
or are we about to do something?
-Please.

Make it food. Please.

Please be food, Uncle J.

We see a boat pull up,
and I just don't even know

what to think at this point.

Like, has this happened?
I don't even know.

Uncle J just keeps, like,
coming with the surprises.

"Read
with all tribemates together."

All right.

"Tomorrow, you will
compete in a grueling challenge.

"Locked in this chest
is an advantage to help.

"There are keys
scattered in the jungle.

"One of them opens the chest.

"Each time you find a key,

"you must race
to the chest and try it.

"If it doesn't work,
then you can search for another.

"First person to open the chest
gets the advantage inside.

Go!"

Whoo!

I guess I'm putting on my shoes.

Whoo!

We haven't even
gotten settled in,

and now we're
sprinting through the jungle,

looking
for these damn little keys

that are tiny as hell.

Some of them
are tied super tight.

The stakes are high
because the first person

to unlock this treasure chest
wins an advantage

for tomorrow's
immunity challenge.

And...

that is like a golden ticket.

Ah.

Oh, I got one.

Ha-ha!

Wait...

So everybody wants this thing.

It's... it's the hot girl
at the party.

Everyone wants to dance
with the hot girl at the party.

Here we go.

Yeah, it's definitely not it.

Yeah, I just think it's cooked.

All right.

No bueno.

Did somebody get it?

No, not yet.
Did you find another one?

Yeah.

Right now,
we need to stay Hina strong.

And so...

I got to make sure somebody
in my alliance gets that key.

I want that key.
I want that advantage.

Is that it?

- Oh, you might've gotten it.
- Oh.

Did I get it?

It's a trick key.

Not opening.

Oh.

Oh. Oh, my God.

Sage got it!

Get it, girl.

And this is gonna sound
really hippie-dippie woo-woo,

but, like, I knew in my gut
that key was gonna work.

And what's waiting for me

inside this chest
happens to be in my chest,

and it's an advantage.

"Congratulations.
You have earned an advantage

"in tomorrow's challenge.

"Present this to Jeff
at the challenge

where your advantage
will be revealed."

And it was like
the heaven gates just opened.

I was like, "This is my moment.

"This is what
I've been waiting for,

to finally have some control

in this game."
And so I'm

really, really proud of myself.

All right. Nice work, Sage.

Thanks, guys.

they all head
to the beach to see the sunrise

and to socialize.

But I'm here to play this game,

and so I get
straight to business.

And that's what it is for me
in this part of the game.

It's straight to business.

- Hey, squad. Yeah, come sit.
- Yes. Please do.

I feel like it's been, like,
forever since I got to

- I know.
- see my-my squad.

obviously, the social part
is a big part of it,

but the strategic maneuvering
is another big part of it.

And that's something
that I feel like

I'm pretty good at this game.

I actually don't care,

- Okay. I'm in that vote, too.
- but I think... I-I...

- Yeah.
- Uh-huh.

even though Shannon did
her best nuclear bomb impression

to blow up OG Uli.

But at this point,
it's very clear we can all

come together as one,

because with five OG Uli

and Sophi B--

who we kind of
adopted at this point--

makes six, which is the majority

in an 11-person tribe.

Yeah.

She's a strong player.
Like, she's a powerhouse.

- Like, I respect it,
but she's-she's a powerhouse.
-Yeah, for sure.

Yeah.

The original Uli

think that
they have me and Sage, but...

guess what?

You're about to get played.

Our goal
is to take these guys out,

and I'm ready to make a move.

I got good vibes

- from Alex.
- I am. I am. I am.

Yeah.

-Right.
-Yeah.

but I need to connect with Alex
because I want to work with him.

We went through so much in the
first eight days of this game.

But the thing is,

I have new allies
that I would even consider

I'm more loyal to than Alex.

So I'm wondering if he's in the
same place with other people.

I think we're

directly in the middle.

And I-I think people are
gonna try and, like, work us

- Yeah.
- and try and get us
on their side.

Now, what side do we want?

I know, that's the hard thing.

So I think...

I mean, you might...

- Since you spent more time
with Hina...
- I know.

- I feel like it's gonna be...
- You're gonna say Hina.

I'm gonna say Uli.

Alex is one of the people
in this game

that I have more trust with
than anyone else.

But at the same time,

I've spent a lot of my time
with the original Uli.

He's spent a lot of
his time with the original Hina.

I think he wants
to work with me,

but he also sees
where the numbers are.

And I think it would be dumb
if he went with the old Hina.

I'm pretty good with Uli.

Yeah, yeah.

Yeah.

- And we could be their numbers.
- Right, right.

At this point,
it seems like Blue Sophi

is gonna stick it out
with Savannah and Rizo, but...

I feel like
I'm really well-positioned

in the middle here.

I think me and you

are gonna
flourish more with Uli.

- Okay.
- Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

Sophi has no idea

that, truly,
I am playing both sides,

but that's what I'm used to.

In D.C.,

I'm used to kind of
having all this information

and using it to put myself
in a better position.

She might be
blindsided with what I do,

but I just want to be
on the right side of the vote.

Oh, my God.
There's that chicken.

- Teriyaki.
- No, I know.

Teriyaki's
looking nice and ready.

No, stop. She said "teriyaki."

Kentucky Fried, Teriyaki,
General Tso.

I'm serious. Yes.
Yeah.

Dude, I'm down.
Our first night together.

I knew that chicken was a goner

the second I saw it
at that reward challenge.

It just took a little while
to get my hands on it.

Soon as I stepped
on this beach, I'm like,

"Yo, that chicken is mine."

Sage wanted
to keep the chickens,

but, like, let's be real, like,
I'm friggin' hungry out here.

- Got it.
-Nice.

All right.

Savannah, of course,
is like, "I'm in,"

'cause holy crap,
she's friggin' nuts.

Like, she even
made a comment of, like,

"Oh, that's Teriyaki
and that's General Tso."

Just started feeling,
like, too much.

One, two...

Dude, I'm really worried.

- Don't-don't worry.
- Okay.

Do not worry.

- Seriously, like...
- Yeah.

Because...

at the end of the day,
we still have the numbers.

Sage says to me

my name
is being thrown out there,

and they're staying Uli strong

and coming up
with a plot to get me out.

And so I need
to get all the intel I can

from Sage and plan my defense.

Yeah. No.

Okay.

- I hope this, like,
confirms with you guys,
- I'm great.

- like, I'm in with you.
- Yes. I knew it. I knew it.

- I knew it.
- I'm tired of the fake ...

What-what about Jawan,
is my question?

He's good. He's good. He's good.

Okay.

Sage is down to work with us.

And maybe we got Jawan, but...

this season, we've had
way more cross-pollination

because of all
the various tribe swaps.

And so it's hard
to really trust anybody.

Raise your chicken if
you got a chicken in your hand.

-Yeah.
-This is the group
that's probably

gonna be the jury
and the final three.

We have a ... millionaire
who's sitting in this group now.

Oh, wow.

you start to see where
people's lines actually are.

And I got to make sure that
I'm, like,

clocking everything
because I think

it's gonna be really hard

to walk into that first Tribal
as 11 feeling confident,

unless you got that necklace on.

Survivor
is about a lot of things,

but ultimately
it comes down to relationships.

If you think that's
something you're good at,

come give it a go.

Apply to be on Survivor.

Come on in.

Good morning.

- Good morning, Jeff.
- Good morning, Jeff.

Eleven people,

day 14, Survivor 49.

Look at this.

First time, everybody together.

All right, let me deal with
one logistics question for me.

I'm sure you've
figured out we have two Sophies.

Yeah.

Have you all come up with
a system for calling each other?

Yellow Sophie, Blue Sophi.

Or Soph and Sophie.

Okay, what do you want?

Why don't we go
with Soph and Sophie?

- Perfect.
-Okay.

All right, shall we get into it?

- Let's do it.
- First things first,

let me take back
those tribal immunity idols.

- Jeff.
- We don't need these anymore.

Tribal immunity is no more.

You are 11 people

entering the next phase
of the game--

the individual phase.

And that means you're merged.

Congratulations.

Soph, take a Buff.

Take a Buff.

- Take a Buff.
- Oh, my God.

-Everybody's happy.
-Yo.

Yo, it's black! Rizo!

Rizo, it's black, yo!

Let's go!

Let's go.

That's what's up.

Bro, this is fire.

Oh...

All right, congratulations.

You have made the merge.

That does not mean
everyone will participate

in the merge meal.

- You are gonna earn that.
- We knew.

Here's how it works.

We're gonna divide
into two groups of five.

On my go,
you're gonna work together

to dig out a massive boulder

and push it
through a series of obstacles.

You'll collect a machete
along the way.

You'll use
that machete to chop a rope

and continue pushing
your large boulder

to a very tall platform,
where you must

work together to climb
to the top of that platform.

Once you're there,

two members from your team
will work together

to solve
a Survivor word puzzle.

First team to finish
earns the merge meal,

your first proper food

in 14 days.

In addition, you earn the right

to move on
to a second challenge,

where you will compete
for individual immunity.

This is the necklace
for Survivor 49.

Nice. That's nice.

Shark boy.

Like Jurassic Park. Yeah.

- I like it.
- That is fire.

With this around your neck,
you are safe.

You cannot be voted out.

That will be the case
for one of you tonight.

Everybody else, Tribal Council,

where somebody will be
the eighth person voted out

and become
the first member of our jury.

Wow.

Wow. Congrats, guys.

When you talk
about Survivor greats,

and you think
about writing your legacy,

it starts
at this phase of the game--

the merge.

And just so you know,

there are spots on Survivor 50
that are still up for grabs.

Ooh.

Let's go.

You want to be on Survivor 50?

It happens here.

This is where
you make your career

or somebody makes
their career off your back.

Jeff starts talking about

season 50 and how,

you know,
it's kind of wide open.

And, like, this
is where you write your story.

This is where you can
end up one of the greats,

and you can be on the Mount
Rushmore of Survivor after this.

And so it's time

to really start
playing the game at this point.

All right.

Yesterday, there was
a scramble for an advantage.

How did that go?

Swimmingly.

Swimmingly? Sage, you got it?

- I did.
-Okay, congratulations.

Let me tell you
what your advantage earns you.

Thank you.

You do not have to compete

- in this grueling challenge.
-Wow.

- Sweet.
-You do not have to
compete to earn the merge meal.

- You've already got it.
-Wow.

-That's what
your effort got you.
- Thanks, guys.

And you also have
a spot at that second challenge,

where you
will be fresh as a daisy...

Wow.

...trying to earn
individual immunity.

All right, we're
gonna divide into tribes.

We'll get it on. Let's do it.

Whoo!

All right,
we have our two teams.

Running in yellow,

we have Nate, Steven,

Sophie, Rizo and Soph.

Sophie was the captain.
This is her choosing.

Running in blue,

we have Jawan, Alex,

Kristina, Savannah and MC.

Kristina was captain.

She chose this group.

Sage does not have to compete.

Here we go.

For the merge meal and a shot
at individual immunity.

Survivors ready?

Go!

This ball is very heavy.

You're gonna have to dig
with everything you've got

on day 14.

It starts with being
the first to free that ball.

Very, very heavy.

Giant boulder.

Get right underneath it.

Who will be out
of the sand first?

You want to eat, you are
definitely gonna earn it.

You also don't want
your competitors to eat.

This is a big advantage.

Want to try? We're good.

Yellow gonna give it a go.

Rizo, Steven,
Sophie trying to push it.

Here goes Blue.

-Okay.
-Go, go, go, go...

Both got a little momentum.

And just like that,
Yellow is out of their hole.

And here comes Blue.

Right on their tail.

Great job, guys.

Now you're gonna crisscross.

Come on, three, two, one.

Now you're up
and over that first obstacle.

Let's go! Let's go!

It's gonna be
Blue getting through first.

They're through.

Come on!

So close.

Yellow now slowing down.

And Yellow is through.

Come on, come on, come on.

Blue expanding
their lead right now.

Three, two, one.

-Start back. Start back.
-Stop.

Here comes Yellow.

Three,

- two, one.
-Big effort from Blue.

-Come on. Come on.
-Alex underneath.
MC getting in there.

- Kristina in there.
-You're good.
You're good.

You're good. Come on.

- Let's go.
-Blue is over.

Blue continues their lead.

- Yellow struggling.
-Up to your right.

- Ah!
-Here we go. Okay.

-Here we go.
-Here we go.

- Go, go, go. Push.
- It's okay.

Here comes Yellow.

They're through.

I am so stoked
I don't have to do that.

Push it this way.

Now you got
to get one person up, Blue.

Is it on?

Who's gonna go up?

Here comes Yellow gaining now.

You got to send one person
up to get the machete.

It's gonna be MC for Blue.

It's gonna be
Rizo going up for Yellow.

He's now gonna
work on that machete.

All right, guys.

- Get it, get it.
-MC has the machete
for Blue.

Somebody go chop the rope.

Go, go, go, go.

It's gonna be Alex for Blue.

Got to chop that rope
and drop that gate.

Rizo has the machete for Yellow.

Alex does it with one chop.

Nate's got
to untie that machete.

Blue back out on the course now
for another series of obstacles.

- That'll do it.
-He got it, he got it...

Ready?

-Here comes Yellow now.
-Three, two, one.

Got to maneuver now

through another series
of big barrels.

Blue still in the lead.

Yellow on their tail.

Every move takes a lot of effort

just to get that ball
up and over again.

I got it. I got it.

Everybody already exhausted.

Now we're at the toughest part
of this challenge.

How quickly and efficiently can
you climb up on top of the ball

- to get
to the top of the platform?
-You're good. You're good.

MC is up quickly.

Here comes Yellow.

-Let's go. Let's go.
-Trying to stay in this.

Huge reward on the line--

the merge meal
and a shot at immunity.

Kristina's up.

We're here, guys.

Here goes Yellow.
It's gonna be Nate.

- I need your other foot.
- All right.

Savannah's now up.

- Nate is up for Yellow.
-Go.

Help.

Jawan is up.

Sophie's now up.

Here goes Soph.

Let's go, I got you.

Jawan and MC
now gonna help Alex.

Good job, Alex.

- Let's go, baby.
-Alex does it.

That's how
you do it on Survivor!

She thinks she knows what it is.

- Come on, guys. You got it.
-Here comes Sophie

Back to the mat!
-Get to your mat!

Wow! Last second.

Yellow pulls it out.

Let's go!

By about a second and a half.

-I'm sorry.
I'm sorry. I'm sorry.
-Man.

- Huge effort.
-I'm sorry.

Way to go.
Way to catch the puzzle,

- so Soph got the puzzle.
- Yeah.

- Yes. Yes.
-All right.

Sophie, Soph, Steven,

Rizo, Nate-- you have earned
the merge meal.

You and Sage will have
a nice afternoon back at camp,

your first proper meal
in 14 days.

Equally important, you now all

have a shot at competing
for individual immunity.

It'll be the five of you
plus Sage.

Head down and we'll set up.

MC, Alex, Savannah, Jawan,

Kristina,
you'll join us and watch.

No shot at immunity.

Yeah.

Hey, that looked brutal,
you guys.

All right.

Well, we had a very close

first stage of this challenge,

but as with all things
on Survivor,

close is not enough,
so here's where we stand.

We are now moving on to the
second phase of this challenge.

Soph, Steven, Nate,

Sophie and Rizo
won the first stage.

Sage, you earned it yesterday
at the scramble.

The six of you have already
earned the merge meal.

That'll be waiting for you
back at camp.

All you're worried about
right now is individual immunity

'cause if you have
that necklace,

while you're enjoying
that merge meal,

it will taste
all that much better.

Here's how it works.

You're gonna stand
on a very narrow beam,

balancing a ball on a disc.

At regular intervals,

you will move your feet
farther down the narrow beam,

your hands
farther down the pole,

both of which
will make it more difficult.

If at any point you fall off

or your ball drops, you're out.

Last person left standing
wins immunity.

You cannot be voted out
of this game.

For everybody else,
Tribal Council,

where somebody will be
the eighth person voted out,

become the first member
of our jury.

All right, everybody
take your spots at the top.

Get up on that first widest part

of this beam.

Oh, my God.

All right.

How's everybody feeling?

- Exhausted.
- Hot.

Like a million bucks, Jeff.

All right, here we go.

Everybody's in first position.

Place your ball on the disc,
and I will count you in.

And when I get to zero,
you've got to let go.

Five, four, three,

two, one.

This challenge is on.

Everybody good out of the gate.

We will be in this section
for five minutes.

Your pole or your ball
cannot touch your body.

If your ball drops

or you fall off, you're out.

Soph with a little bit
of movement, but a nice save.

No breeze,

dead still means
another hot day in Fiji.

A lot of movement by Nate,
and a really

- nice save.
- Wow.

It's the first
individual immunity challenge

of Survivor 49.

You would be the first
to wear that necklace.

Fourteen days,
you have survived.

Now the game
gets really interesting.

Rizo with some movement
for the first time.

Got to really anticipate
where that ball is going

and sort of meet it there.

Rizo cannot recover. Rizo's out.

No shot at individual immunity.

Fortunately, he's still got

the merge meal to enjoy.

We are down to five.

Everybody looking really good.

All right, I'm gonna
count you out of it.

And then we will
move farther down the beam

and farther down the pole.

Five, four,

three, two,

one. Everybody put your hand
on your ball.

You've all moved on
to the next round.

- Good job, guys.
- Good job, guys.

Everybody now is gonna move down

one more section on this beam.

Aah. It's hot.

The beam is now more narrow.

You're also
gonna move your hands

down to the middle part
of that pole.

This challenge just got
a lot more difficult.

Everybody place your balls,
and I will count you in.

Five, four, three,

two, one.

Everybody's good.

This challenge is back on.

Nice job
navigating another start.

We will be here
for five minutes.

Sage drops, cannot recover.

Sage is out,
and we are down to four.

It is Soph,

Steven, Nate and Sophie

competing for immunity

on day 14, Survivor 49.

Nate with a nice touch.

This is all
about tiny movements,

keeping that ball
on a very small disc

while balancing
on a very narrow beam.

Aah.

Nate drops.

Nate is out.

We are down to three.

Who will have what it takes
in this challenge

to wear that necklace tonight
at Tribal Council?

Soph can't recover.

Soph is out.

And we are down to two.

We got a showdown.

Steven with a lot
of movement right now.

And Sophie, on the other end,
very steady at the moment.

For individual immunity,
guaranteed safety tonight,

let's get to that third
and final round.

Let's make this
a legit showdown. Hang in there.

Ten, nine.

Eight.

Seven, six, five,

four, three,

two, one.

Steven and Sophie are safe.

Great job.

We will move on
to that final section,

the most narrow part of the beam

and the most difficult part
of holding onto the pole

at the very bottom.

We got a real showdown here.

Here we go.

For a winner,

put your hands on the ball.

Five, four,

three, two, one,

and we are on.

The most difficult part
of this challenge.

We will stay here
until we have a winner.

Steven immediately
with some movement.

-Oh, wow.
-Wow.

Wow.

Movement by Sophie.

Steven with more movement,
eyeballing it.

Cannot recover. This is over.

Sophie wins first
individual immunity challenge

of Survivor 49.

Look at that.

Go, Sophie.

So proud of you. So proud
of you. So proud of you.

Sophie, come on over.

Wow. You are beaming.

I'm so happy, Jeff.

This win is...
I'm giving this to my mom.

She is the most
competitive person I know,

and she does not quit,
and so, my feet were burning.

I was so tired, and I think
I just was channeling her,

and so, this is for my mom.

-All right, Sophie.
-Yeah.

You are safe tonight.

You cannot be voted out
of this game.

- You will live to see day 15.
- Oh.

As for the rest of you,

after 14 difficult days,
tonight at Tribal Council,

somebody will be the eighth
person voted out of Survivor 49.

You will become the first member
of the jury.

Everybody's heading back
to camp together.

Six of you will feast.

Five of you will not.

I'll see everybody tonight
at Tribal Council.

Congrats. All right,
grab your stuff. Head out.

Thanks, guys. Oh.

And on top of that,

I've had my Beware Advantage
for over a week, and

I know that
the first immunity challenge

after the merge,
I have to go back to camp

and find my next steps
to finding my idol.

So, I'm feeling nervous

because I just need this idol
in my hands,

and I need my vote back.

Congratulations, guys.

We did it.

-Cheers, guys.
-Cheers.

Big-time win.

we get our Buffs,

which means we make the merge.

-Oh, my God.
- Oh, my God.
Oh, my God, and there's dessert!

I didn't even see the dessert.

I won that last challenge,

which was the
individual immunity, which means

I am not going home.

And the best part
of all of this:

we think Sage and Jawan

are fully flipped.
I got to be honest.

It doesn't get better
than this on Survivor.

How you guys liking it
on that side?

- I'm really liking it.
- Oh, my God, it's so good, guys.

I might toot, guys.

How do you think
they're doing back at camp?

I could see
Savannah was not happy.

I know. I felt so bad.

- She's a competitor.
-Yeah.

and run the table for a while.

Not only do we have Rizo,
Savannah, Sage and Jawan,

but we have pulled in

Blue Sophi.

So on paper, we have a majority.

And I think
it's pretty universal

that everyone would prefer
Yellow Sophie

to no longer be in this game.

When I saw that necklace,
I was like, "Oh, my God." Yeah.

That necklace was badass.

And so now we have
to figure out what to do next,

because our choices are between

Steven, Kristina and MC.

However, strategically,
this is a very mixed group,

so there's no point
in talking about the vote.

I know.

Awkward.

I'm trying
to savor the food while I can,

'cause once
we all head back to camp,

all hell is gonna break loose.

I'm trying
to make a big move, and

my plan going
into Tribal Council tonight is

to team up with old Hina
and take out one of former Uli.

Nate, Savannah and Rizo think

that I am just this, like,

easy-to-manipulate thing.

So, I'm looking forward
to getting a taste of revenge.

Got our merge flag.

Oh, nice.

- Chicken?
- Food.

and it's, like, nerve-racking

because I had to wait until
the first immunity challenge

to get my vote back.

So, now that we are back
on our beach, I have

to go to the boat,

dig under the bow of the boat,
and then I'll get

my next steps
on how to find my idol.

- You good, MC?
- I'm good on water.

But I am gonna
take some alone time.

Yes, definitely.

I don't want people to know

that I have to find this idol.

I don't want them
to see me digging for this idol.

I'm looking behind my back,

looking to the left,
looking to the right,

making sure
no one's looking at me,

and then I just start
doing a little digging.

And then
I find a treasure chest.

And attached
to the treasure chest

is a note.

"Use this map to find the key.

"Use the key to unlock the idol
and claim it for yourself.

"If you don't secure the idol
by the time

"you go to Tribal Council,
the idol is dead,

"and you cannot participate
in the vote

at tonight's Tribal Council."

I think everyone's
still distracted.

But I'm not the best
at following directions.

And I'm like,
"Where would this key be?

Where would this key be?"

I'm just at a point
of desperation.

Oh, MC.

- Looking for a key.
- Oh, nice.

Do you know there's one here?

There might be.

When someone walks in on you
clearly looking

for something,
to lie would be stupid.

So I tell her
I'm looking for a key.

- Do you want some help?
- Um, sure.

- What's everyone else doing?
- Well, I wanted to let the guys

have, like, alone time.

Jawan is, like,
just super emotional.

And, like, also,
he's, like, the only one

who hasn't won a reward.

Savannah's scary, man.

Like, she's trying
to get that key first.

She doesn't even know
what the key goes to.

But now, imagine

my surprise and my anger

when I see a ring of keys,

a hundred keys or more.

And I have to figure out
which key fits

into the treasure chest
with Savannah breathing,

huffing and puffing
over my shoulder

the entire time.

I figured

y'all were probably
gonna go for me

since Sophie got immunity.

Honestly, MC, like,
I'm down to work with you.

I don't know if I believe that.

Okay.

I stay as long as I can
to make it

as awkward as possible.

But then I'm like, "Wait.
Okay, let's not be a psycho."

Like, maybe I can use this chest
as almost like

an olive branch between us.

Look, I know
you're trying to do this.

Can I have, like,
literally, 60 seconds?

- For sure. Of course.
- Can you look at me?

- What's up?
- Watch.

When we were
on the old Uli tribe...

- Mm-hmm.
- the guys were more of a thing.

- Mm-hmm.
- And me and Sophi were
on our own

- for a lot of the time.
- Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm.

So when you got
brought into the mix,

- Mm-hmm.
- I was genuinely...

make sure
I don't try a key twice.

Savannah is just talking in my
ear, trying to talk strategies.

But I don't trust Savannah.

She is so intense.

There's a gleam in her eyes.

It's a little evil, like...

Like, eyes wide.

I don't believe her at all,

but I do want her

to feel like I'm on her side.

I'm willing to work with y'all.

-All right.
- For sure.

Nobody knows about this. Nobody.

- I won't say anything.
- I appreciate that.

just saying
whatever she needs to say

to make me feel at ease,
and I'm like, "All right."

I let her have her moment,

and I go back to camp.

See you in a little bit.

All right, see you later.

MC could be vulnerable tonight.

But she's not vulnerable,
which sucks.

Yeah. Oh, my God.

Thank you, Lord.

Get this out of here.

"Congratulations! You have found
a hidden immunity idol.

And your ability to participate
in the vote is restored."

I have my

first immunity idol,

another thing to check
off my Survivor bucket list.

So it's finally in my hands.

I have my vote back.

Thank you.

Savannah knows I have an idol.

So I assume
everyone's gonna know.

And now it's just,

when do I use this?

- Sup?
- Sup, sup, sup.

- How you doing?
- I'm good.

One of the worst things
in Survivor

has to be, like, going home
with an idol in your pocket.

And I don't want that fate

to be mine.

-Oh. Welcome back.
-Welcome back.

Oh. How we doing?

Great. How was it?

It was, uh, charcuterie.

- Oh, wow.
-Big charcuterie board.

When we got back to camp,

the first thing
I see is Rizo sit down

and start whispering
with Savannah.

They're both
playing really hard.

And so,

ideally, I would love
for Rizo or Savannah to go home.

But Rizo has an idol.

He potentially could play it
for himself, or he could

play his idol for Savannah,

because they are very close.

Rizo's gonna play it for
Savannah,

so we just have to make sure.

Uh, it's too risky to s...

split it, though.

It's too risky to split it.

Do we just all go Nate?

-That's, um...
-That's what we do.

- that one at all.
-Yeah.

- We have to do Nate.
- We just have to do that. Yeah.

- And we have to keep it
as down-low as possible.
- Mm.

And if Rizo plays it for anyone,
it's gonna be Savannah.

And we don't want to risk
losing one of our numbers

because we didn't
read the situation correctly.

It's just too big of a gamble,

so we need to go with
the sure thing, and that's Nate.

You really don't?

I know. I know.

Like, do you really think
he's gonna...

This might be our only shot,
though,

- 'cause right now,
- Mm-hmm.

Rizo thinks Jawan and I
are locked in with him.

I feel better
about blowing it up

- with Nate still here
versus Savannah,
- Uh-huh.

'cause Savannah's so good

at damage control and so sneaky.

The group is saying that
Nate would be a better option,

but I want Savannah gone.

She's a phenomenal gameplayer.

Like, look out for Savannah.

Like, what are we doing here?

I know she has it.
I just saw her,

and I don't think she trusts me

that I'm gonna keep her idol
a secret,

which is honestly
kind of smart, 'cause I'm not.

Savannah confided in me

that she saw MC find an idol.

This is beneficial to me
because I have

the Knowledge Is Power
Advantage.

So now I know
where the two idols are,

and I can take it from anyone.

But it's crucial
that nobody finds out

that I have this advantage

because it could
really hurt my game.

MC, I think,
will play something tonight.

It's really just a question
about who.

Like, I know
everybody likes Steven,

but why?
Why not... Why save Steven?

Because I...

Well, I thought she was gonna
play it on Steven.

She's gonna play that crap
on herself.

We're being stupid.
Jeff literally said it today.

Like, why are we gonna do
the easy thing?

Jeff gave us a talk today
about season 50.

And so, I really want
to make a big move.

I think we have to go hard.

Let's go for
a big competitor, someone...

somebody that we can't beat.

We need to do everything
in our power

- to make her paranoid.
- Yeah.

And all of us stack a vote
on someone.

I ... care who it is.

What name are we feeling?

What's the safest for us?

We figure out
between Kristina and Steven,

- whichever is the best option.
-Yeah.

There's a reason

- you guys like Steven.
-Yeah.

- That makes him a threat
in itself.
-Yeah.

I could. Yeah.

He definitely saved me
with the Shannon vote.

So I feel like my heart,
you know, me empathetic.

- Yeah.
-Yeah.
-But also,

yeah, seeing him
in the challenge

- spooked me a little bit.
-Yeah.

'Cause he can lock in.

Yeah.

- Okay. Let's lock it in.
-Easy play.

The old Uli squad is targeting

Steven because
they are worried MC

might have an idol,

but I'm not voting for Steven.

He's in the Bottoms Up Alliance
with me and Sage.

Are you good? Are you gonna

- play anything tonight, are
you... Because it's public?
- I...

I don't think you need to.

The fact that we know
where the idol is

is so important,

because if I play it,

it goes back in the jungle...

Yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.

I'd rather us just have the idol

- so we know who has it.
-Have it. Exactly.

- You know what I'm saying?
- I think that's
a great idea, bro.

Listen, if you guys got me,
I won't play it.

- You know what I mean?
- Mm.

Like, I trust you guys
wholeheartedly.

- I've done that the whole game.
- Yeah, you're straight-up.

- And it's worked every time.
- We've come this far, bro.

I know. I know.

Rizo's not playing his idol.
He thinks

he has a majority.

So, I'm thinking,
as much as I love Rizo,

we need
to take him out of this game.

And that would also put his idol

back in play.

So I've kind of
picked up on that read.

Like, I just did the math
in my head

before you even said anything.

I was like,
"I know it's gonna be me."

- It makes sense.
- Yup.

Now that Sophie
has individual immunity,

and MC has the idol,

I'm the next obvious target.

They would be

stupid to get Kristina out

over me. I'm a much better
physical threat.

Whoa!

today at the immunity challenge.

I would vote me out.

I know my boy Rizo
isn't playing the idol.

We can take out the idol,

and it will be right in rotation
again for us.

- Okay.
- But honestly, you already
saved me with Shannon.

- Yeah.
- So, you tell me the vote,
I'll write it down.

- Totally.
- Right?

- Dude, I appreciate you so much.
- Totally.

Hina members, and I've also
got my Bottoms Up Alliance.

So presumably,
we have the majority.

We would

like to target either

Rizo, who has an idol,

Nate, who is the safest option,

or Savannah,
because she's a big threat.

Mm-hmm.

three, four, five times
in the last two hours.

It's changing
every single moment,

and you're playing
this extremely complicated game

of telephone, and you're just
praying that the name

you get at the very end
is the same name

everyone else
is gonna write down,

because if we're not
on the same page,

we don't have
the majority number of votes,

and I'm going home.

If this is your first time
at Tribal, grab a torch,

dip it in and get fire.

This is part of the ritual
at Tribal Council,

because in this game,
fire represents your life.

And when your fire is gone,

sadly, so are you.

As always at Tribal,

that's gonna be the case
for somebody.

So let's just dig into it.

We know the merge means we're in
the individual part of the game.

Steven, what does that mean

in terms
of how it changes the game?

Yeah, you know, I think
that this is an opportunity

for a lot of us
to form new relationships,

but I do think that we all sense

that there is
some sort of camaraderie

with the people
that you started the game with.

What's interesting is

that we've had
three different swaps already,

so we've had a lot
of cross-pollination

with people
from different tribes.

Alex, it's really interesting

what Steven's bringing up
because

it's the definition
of what is a tribe.

If you just go with original
color, that's one thing.

But with two swaps this season,

who knows
where the real lines fall?

Yeah, I think
this is a new start.

But the fact is that

people might still be sticking
with their tribemates

from the original tribes.

And so, you think
you have the numbers

and you have it all lined up,

but you can't be so sure.

I think some of us are just
gonna be shocked

at the end of the night,
you know?

It's blindside after blindside
after blindside

out here on Survivor.

So, Jawan, given
there are so many

different ways
you could approach tonight,

how did you approach
this afternoon?

For me, personally,
I like scary movies.

Do you like scary movies?

- Sure.
- Yeah.

For me, I feel like this merge,
it's kind of

like a horror film, you know?
It's like, "Anybody but me."

So you're checking in
on different relationships,

making sure your name

isn't the first one
on that kill list.

-Sage.
- Oh, God.

What do think about Jawan's idea

of trying to survive
a horror movie?

The monster's loose,

and you don't want the monster
to eat you.

Yeah, honestly,
big groups are my version

of a horror movie in general.

And it's hard because

there's been three tribe swaps
at this point.

And so,
I think tonight is really,

like, everyone trying
to get clarity and reassurance

on, like, "Where are the lines?"

And I think tonight
will definitely

shake up the game
moving forward, I think.

Rizo, what I'm gathering is

that there are tons of different
stories and opportunities.

Yeah, Jeff. And for me,

I feel like I was
the talk of the town today,

Jeff, because
I have a hidden immunity idol.

So it is common knowledge
for everybody at this point,

and I'm willing to share it
and embrace it.

Sophie, Rizo talks about

this idol that he has
that everybody knows about.

How much talk is there right now

about either idols or advantages
that can be in the game?

I think there's a lot of talk.

We know that Rizo has an idol.

We also know that maybe
there is one still on Kele.

Maybe there was one
found on Hina.

So, if you don't
have the numbers,

you've got to pray you have
an advantage or an idol.

Jeff, you know,

I actually kind of
always wanted this moment.

So we'll play a little
show-and-tell.

So, I do have it with me.

Uh, I'm gonna be
truthfully honest

with my approach.

I want to live another day
in this game.

Whether I'm the vote or not
tonight,

I do plan on playing it.

Whether it's for myself or not,
who knows?

We'll have to wait and find out.

But I think

I'm wearing red
for the sentiment

- that blood will be drawn
tonight.
- Whoa.

I just don't know who the hell
is gonna go home.

And I just hope it's not me.

So, we'll see
what happens tonight.

Jawan, suddenly, Tribal got

very cagey.

Oh, yeah. Eerie, spooky.

- Horror movie.
- Horror movie.

Like Rizo said,
blood will be shed tonight.

And, uh, I wish I had popcorn.

Nate,

how will this group be different
after tonight's vote?

Y'all go back to camp,
and what's gonna go down?

I think people who felt

uncertain will feel
a little bit more certain

in their place in the game,
and I think

people who are
outside of the vote

will kind of know
where they stand.

Until you put pen to paper,

you really don't know
who your allies are.

Wow. MC, you will
know where you stand

- if you're on the wrong side
of the vote.
-Yeah.

Yeah, I think this vote

is going to definitely
let you know

or at least let me know

who I can trust going forward.

Savannah,

the merge really is
where you forge a career.

If you're gonna be
a great player, it happens now.

It doesn't happen pre-merge.

I think so, and you alluded

to Survivor 50
and what that could mean.

I would be lying if I said
that wasn't in my head.

This is definitely a point

where any of us can feel
empowered to make a big move,

and the next day
is never guaranteed.

People who you trusted
on day one,

day two, that can easily change,

as all of us are gonna have
different agendas going forward.

All right, it is time to vote.

Soph, you're up.

I'm either very right tonight,

or very wrong and going home.

It's gonna get messy.

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 vote--
-Jeff.

I'm not sure

I need to use it,

but I'd rather secure my spot
for tomorrow.

Okay.

This is a hidden immunity idol.

Any votes cast
for MC will not count.

All right, I'll read the votes.

First vote: Nate.

Steven. One vote Nate,
one vote Steven.

Nate. That's two votes Nate,
one vote Steven.

Steven. We're tied again.

Two votes Nate,
two vote Steven.

Nate.

That's three votes Nate,
two votes Steven.

Steven. Tied again.
Three votes Nate,

three votes Steven.

Nate. That's four votes Nate,
three votes Steven.

Steven. We're tied again.

Four votes Nate,
four votes Steven.

Nate.

That's five votes Nate,
four votes Steven.

Eighth person voted out and
the first member of our jury:

Nate, that's six.

That's enough.
Need to bring me your torch.

Yes, sir.

Good game, guys.

Good game, bro.

Nate, the tribe has spoken.

Yes, sir.

Time for you to go.

- Good game, guys.
- Good game, Nate.

Good game, Nate.

Bummer.

Grab your torches,
head back to camp.

Good night.

I can't trust any
of these friggin' people.

- I know.
-They have no idea

what's in store for them.
I'm coming with a vengeance.

I can be a mean girl, too.

and is doing all the stabbing.

My worst nightmare.

Friggin' Savannah the Savage.

I got blindsided, which is
probably how you want to go

if you're gonna go
from this game of Survivor.

But I'm surprised that I got
as many votes as I did,

which means that Sage and Jawan
voted with Old Hina,

but that's the game.

I'm incredibly proud
with how I played.

It was harder than I expected.

I made it farther
than I expected,

and I'm excited
to be part of this jury.
