All language subtitles for Survivor.S50E01.1080p.x264-mSD[EZTVx.to]_1

From this tiny Malaysian fishing village,

these 16 Americans are beginning
the adventure of a lifetime.

Are we getting two of these?

Go!

Woo-hoo!

Rich is naked.

Just hold my calls.

I don't even know
what MTV means, you know?

I'm a redneck.

The corporate world
ain't gonna work out here

in the bush.

It's been a quarter century

since a fledgling prime-time show

revolutionized television

and added phrases like...

The tribe has spoken.

To our national lexicon.

Let it be in the end

the way Mother Nature intended it to be,

for the snake to eat the rat.

The winner of the first
Survivorcompetition is...

Rich.

This plane will land
in the Australian Outback.

You're the man!

Woo-hoo!

Through the scorching desert of Kenya.

Making our way
through the South Pacific.

39 days, 20 people, one Survivor.

Come on, Ozzy!

Steph whipping through this.

Don't wave your finger in my face.

I will always wave my finger in your face.

I can get loud, too. What the ...?

It's a... stick.

You think so?

It was either gonna be my buddy
or my grandmother coming,

and, my grandmother's
not here for a reason.

My grandmother's sitting home,

watching Jerry Springer right now.

I want to give
individual immunity to Natalie.

I have two idols.

I guess I should have played 'em.

- Colby. - Jerri.
- Rupert.

Cannot believe that.

My God.

- It's just you.
- It's just me now.

What do you think
tonight's gonna be like?

It's gonna be scary.

We're going
to evacuate you from this beach.

You wanted adventure,

you got it.

All right,
we're gonna have an evacuation.

Call for the chopper.

People ask me ifSurvivor's fun.

Hell no.

Survivorain't fun.
Going on a cruise is fun.

Watch out!

I'm pissed!

I'm gonna kick a little ass around here.

I'm building a spy shack,
and I'm gonna hear everything.

Bing!

InSurvivor, how many people

found the idol without a clue?

Booyah.

You know what, Jeff?

Sandra, that's for you.

Jerri, that one's for you, too.

Damn it.

Natalie, is there any way
I could have your jacket?

Natalie? Natalie?

This is a historic Tribal Council.

Most idols ever played at a Tribal.

Cirie, you've become
the first person to be voted out

simply because there literally
is no other choice.

Wow.

This has been one of the most

grand experiences of my life.

It changed me.

I would've never met
so many different people.

Will you marry me?

I would've never had
so many amazing experiences.

It was a day I will never,

ever forget.

Dee is hanging on.

I feel like I've won so much.

I found out who I am and
who I have the potential to be.

And that is what I've gotten
from playingSurvivor.

The winner of Survivor:

Maryanne.

Yam Yam.

Dee.

Kyle.

The winner of Survivor 49:

Savannah.

I guess the biggest question
to ask you, Jeff, is:

where do you go from here?

Well, you mean 50?

For the first time ever,

the producers will not be
in charge of the game design.

You will.

What?

In the Hands of the Fans.

The twist in the hands of the fans

is gonna open up Pandora's box.

I think whatSurvivor fans love the most

is that we don't know
what's gonna happen.

The unknown is the great equalizer.

I'll start with a quote from Magellan.

"Life is for the bold

"to seize the opportunity when it comes,

not those poor intrepid souls
that stay close to shore."

"But it is the person
that goes out in the storm

that reap the high rewards."

Whoo!

This is an iconic season,
and you're going against icons.

24 people across 49 seasons.

This is like the Super Bowl.

Everyone is coming in guns blazing.

I love this game,

and I'm excited to come back and play it.

And I will play to win.

This is my chance to become

a legend of this game.

It's gonna be a bloodbath.

Let's go!

Wow!

- Here we go!
- Whoo!

Who will have what it takes
to outlast all the rest?

This is Survivor 50:
In the Hands of the Fans.

Let's go!

Come on, Survivor 50.

Get it on. Come on, join me.

I'm back.

It's just surreal, and,

you know, I played
this game 30 seasons ago.

So to be asked back for season 50,

maybe I am one of the greats,
and I'm gonna prove it.

I might win this thing this time.

Here we go!

You look around, and it's freaking Ozzy,

it's freaking Coach and Aubry
and all of these people

you've watched play,
kind of these mythic characters.

It's hilarious, scary.

Feels a little like high school reunion

meets, like, a... like, a, a massacre.

Welcome to Survivor 50.

Whoo!

Let's go! Come on.

This is historic.

I mean, take a look around.

You all represent 25 years

and 49 seasons

of the greatest adventure on television.

A social experiment like no other.

751 people...

- Wow.
- Have played this game.

We chose you to represent Survivor 50.

It's a big honor.

And I'll tell you, it comes
with equally big expectations.

Because, sure, we've done
returning player seasons before.

We've never done this.

For 50, we wanted
to represent our entire history,

taste the complete tapestry
of everything that got us here...

types of game play, types of personality,

all the eras all smashed together...

so we have 24 players.

Record number for Survivor.

And we have
somebody from our first season,

25 years ago.

You and I started this.

We started this.

And we have up to our most
recent season, Survivor 49.

Yeah, let's go!

Whoo!

So that's how you all got here.

But we're also doing
something else this season

we've never done before.

We turned the entire show
over to the fans.

They decided what type of game

they want you all to play.

Please let there be rice.

But you all have no idea

what you're going to encounter.

So there's a lot going on.

You got the responsibility

and you've got this massive uncertainty.

It could be a little overwhelming.

It could be a little terrifying.

But what it should be is freeing.

Because it leaves you
with only one choice

that makes any sense at all.

That is to play your game on your terms.

Play the game that works
for you today in this moment.

And for what it's worth,

that's why we chose you...

for your unique point of view

that each of you bring to this game.

24 different approaches

spanning 25 years.

This is it. You are it.

And the only thing we want

in exchange for giving you this spot...

is everything.

We want your blood.

You got it, Mr. Jeff.

We want your sweat.

Hell yeah.

We want your tears.

We want it all.

And when this is over,

every single one of you should be able

to look at yourselves and say,

"Whether I'm first out or I got to the end,

I gave everything to this game."

- Yeah!
- That's how you make history.

That's how you create a legacy.

Yeah!

Now let's catch up,

'cause I haven't spoken with some of you

for a very long time.

- Jenna.
- Yeah?

But before anybody even knew
what Survivorwas gonna be,

you were on the cover of Time magazine

25 years ago.

72 million people watched your finale.

We're gonna have,
like, some little rat meat

with the rice that we're eating.

That would be delicious.

- Yeah.
- And then you played

- in our first returning season All-Stars.
- Yeah.

21 years it's been.

Why did you say yes
to coming back to this?

Who would say no to this, Jeff?

I mean, have you lost in
the 25 years any of that wonder?

Any of that sense of adventure?

- Not a bit.
- Neither have I.

During those two Survivors,
I learned the most about myself,

and now I'm thinking,
what else do I have to learn?

It's like another shift in my life.

Mike White,
with the success of White Lotus,

that you write and direct,

you could be anywhere right now,
but you're here with us.

What is it about Survivor

that brings you out here to do
it again when you don't need to?

I have major FOMO issues.

And I knew this
was gonna be an epic party,

and I didn't want to hear about it

from Angelina and Christian

in a month from now.

And I was like, "If you guys
are gonna be down there,

I'm gonna be down there, too."

And I, yeah, I want a front row seat.

I'm stoked to be here.

Thanks for the invite.

Glad you said yes.

Devens,

in your season,

some of your game play
surrounded idols.

That was one of the things
the fans could vote on.

While everyone else is sleeping,
I'm working.

This is my salvation in the game.

Another idol

found.

So, did you vote?

And if so, did you vote
to have idols in the game?

Or is there a part of you that might like

to play without idols this time?

Of course I voted. I'm a fan
of the show. It was in my hands.

And I voted no idols

because I have no interest...

- Yeah, right, bull...
- in idols

in any way.

Probably one under his feet right now.

Cirie, you are really
synonymous with Survivor.

You really are.

You really were the first woman
who vocalized this idea of,

"I'm gonna get up off the couch

"and I'm gonna go try to play this game

that I don't know if I can do or not."

You've had some
of the most historic moments

in the history of Survivor.

What is most significantly
different about you today?

Survivoris like home for me.

And there's no place like home.

I grew up on Survivor.

Survivorhas given me...

Geez.

You got it.

It's given me...

courage that I couldn't find by myself

on the couch.

Even with the failures,

I-I've, had epic ones

in front of the entire world, but...

what brings me back is knowing
that it could give me more

and that it always gives me more
every time I come.

I'm glad to have you here.

Thank you, Jeff.

Colby, you played in our second season.

You were so popular,

people named their dogs,

people named their kids after you.

And you've had a big Survivorcareer.

The last time you played
was Heroes vs. Villains

15 years ago.

So what's different
from the Colby then to now?

Well, in my 50s,

I'm definitely in a period
of reflection on my whole life.

And half of my life
has transpired... like Jenna...

since the first time I played.

It has represented something so big,

I think it's taken this amount
of time to really reflect back

and understand the gravity of it.

I am completely honored to be here.

All right, Coach.

I need a Coach-ism

- to set up...
- I need one.

What we're about to experience

- over the next 26 days.
- Man.

You know, regret... it's
the strongest emotion we have.

It gnaws around our subconscious,

whispering little lies to us.

What could you have done?
What should you have done?

I think all of us are here
because we knew if we said no,

we would regret it the rest of our lives.

So everybody that's on this beach,

the worthy adversaries
that are on this sand,

let's go out and slay some dragons.

Yeah!

All right, on that note,

shall we get to our tribe divisions?

Man.

Wow.

Find your name.

Don't open it yet. Wait for me.

There's so many.

- There we go.
- I'm right next to you.

Good luck, brother.

Who are you gonna be
starting alongside,

and who's gonna be your adversaries?

Thank you.

- Come on.
- Thank you.

- It's happening, Q, right here.
- One letter, baby.

I'm terrified.

You got this.

Wait for me.

Here we go.

All right, everybody open your Buffs.

- Okay, okay.
- My God.

If you have orange, you're on the end.

What is up, brother?

What is up, sister?

If you have teal, you're in the middle.

Let's go!

If you have purple, you're down here.

Here we go.

All right.

Let's look at our tribes.

Wearing purple, you are Vatu.

- Vatu.
- Vatu.

In the middle, wearing teal, Kalo.

Whoo!

Down on the end, wearing orange, Cila.

- Yay.
- Yeah.

All right, the fans voted on two things

that impact the start of this game.

One was rice.

Please.

The question was binary.

Should you start with rice
or should you have to earn rice?

The results were pretty close.

53 to 47%.

- Wow.
- Sheesh.

But the majority rules.

And when it comes to rice...

Please, rice.

The fans decided to give you...

Yeah!

- What?!
- I can eat.

Whoo!

The chance to show
what badasses you are...

Wait.

By earning your rice.

Wait, no. No.

You will not start the game with rice.

The other thing the fans
voted on was tribe supplies.

Give us the supplies.

Do you get to start the game
with your supplies or not?

What's interesting about this one is,

the vote was almost exactly the same.

60 to 40%.

And in this case the fans
decided to do the same thing

and have you earn your tribe supplies.

You're gonna be earning everything.

Sounds about right.

So, shall we get to your first challenge,

- the marooning challenge for Survivor 50?
- Let's do it, Jeff.

Here's how it works.

One person's gonna get a key.

One person's gonna
use that key to release paddles.

Two players are gonna unload
all the rope out of the boat.

Two other players
are gonna get in that boat,

get out and get your torch
out in the ocean.

The last two players
are gonna get another key

and use it to unlock their torch.

Then it becomes a race to the finish

to light your torch with fire.

The first tribe to get fire wins fire

in the form of flint...

I love fire.

And a massive bonfire
waiting for you back at camp.

- What?
- Wow.

- It is a huge head start.
- Yeah!

- Worth playing for?
- Yeah!

Hell yeah!

All right, I'm gonna give you
a minute to strategize,

and we'll get Survivor 50on.

Yeah!

All right.

Here we go.

The marooning challenge
for Survivor 50.

- Whoo!
- We do everything together.

For flint.

We got it.

- Survivors ready.
- Get it, girl.

- Yeah, Stephenie.
- Go!

Stephenie, Kamilla
and Savannah out of the gate.

Gonna be doing this first job
in this challenge,

which is to dig under a log.

Takes a lot of effort.

- Come on, Savannah!
- Come on, Savannah!

- My goodness. Look at that.
- Yes. Dig it.

- Dig it. Go, go...
- She's a regular excavator right there.

Once you think
you've got a hole big enough,

you can try to get through it.

Come on, Kamilla! Keep going.

Keep going.

Stephenie trying to get through for Vatu.

You got it, girl!

Stephenie's first through!

She's working on her key.

Come on, Steph!

It's been 15 years
since Stephenie played.

You wouldn't know it.

Stephenie back first.

Gonna give the key to Aubry.

Let's go!

Yep, yep. Take your
time. Slow and steady.

- Good job, Aubry.
- Hey, you got this.

It's Aubry now working on the puzzle,

trying to free up these paddles.

- Use your legs!
- There you go, Kamilla.

Kamilla gonna give it a go.

Savannah's nearly through.

- You're killing it!
- You're killing it.

Aubry with a big time lead for Vatu.

Savannah's through!

Get to work on that key.

Let's go, Kamilla!

- Kamilla, you got it.
- Keep fighting.

Yes! Yes!

It's Savannah heading back now.

Give it to me.

Who's it gonna be?

It's gonna be
Christian working on the puzzle.

Christian taking a different strategy.

Wow. He is setting up the puzzle.

Yes, Aubry!

Great job, Aubry!

Aubry's heading back with the paddles.

- Wait, wait, here we go.
- Okay, go.

- You're good, you're good, you're good.
- Go, go.

You're good.

It's gonna be Q and Angelina
unloading all that rope.

It's Vatu in the lead.

Hubicki trying to close that gap.

Kamilla just trying to get her tribe in this.

Kamilla's through. Let's go!

- Kamilla quickly gets the key.
- Good job, girl. Good job, girl.

There's a lot of time to
be made up by Chrissy right now.

You're doing great.

Christian is working very fast
to free up those paddles.

Q and Angelina working
on all the rope for Vatu.

Once it's empty, head back.

Yes, good job! Come on!

Yeah!

Christian's made up a lot of time for Cila.

You're good.

It's gonna be Jenna and Cirie
unloading the boat.

Angelina and Q are back.

Here goes Kyle and Colby with
a big lead right now for Vatu.

Go, Kyle! Go, Colby!

Go, Kyle! Go, Colby!

Once you're in the water,
start pulling on that rope.

Pull yourself out, and you paddle back.

That water is rough today.

All right, let's go.

- Let's go.
- All right, baby, we're good.

Kyle and Colby now have it going.

Get that! Get that one!

- Pull it.
- Jenna and Cirie still working on that rope.

- You're good.
- Go!

It's now Ozzy and Joe

for Cila, trying to catch Colby and Kyle.

Christian made up a lot
of time in that paddle element.

Can Joe and Ozzy
make up even more time?

Right here.

Kyle and Colby have their torch.

They can start paddling back now.

But that is gonna be a rough paddle.

That's right. Let's go.

Whoo!

Good job, Chrissy.

Chrissy has the paddle.

- Hell yeah. - Good job.
- Go, go, go...

Now it's gonna be Tiff and Mike

unloading the boat for Kalo.

They ain't going nowhere, Joe!

Joe and Ozzy are whipping through it.

And we got a collision.

Joe and Ozzy quickly gaining on Vatu.

They've got to get their torch
quickly and get back.

Yeah, boys. Come on!

Joe and Ozzy have their torch.

Mike and Tiff working, trying
to keep them in this challenge.

Good job!

Good job!

- Let's go.
- That's what I'm talking about.

You're good! Let's go!

It's Jonathan and Coach now.

Look at them go.

Can they make up
an incredible amount of time?

Wow. That is how you do it quickly.

Kyle and Colby
trying to get back to shore.

Here we go.

All right. Good.

- You're good.
- Grab the torch.

- Come on, Kyle!
- Let's go, Kyle!

- Let's go!
- It's Kyle and Colby back first.

Hustle! Go!

You're good.

It's Genevieve and Rizo.

Vatu's been in the lead
the entire challenge,

starting with Stephenie, getting
them off to a very fast start.

- Let's go...
- Let's go, Rizo...

No, no, the other way.

It's got to go this...

Wait.

- It's heavy.
- Yeah, it's heavy.

Here goes Coach and Jonathan.

And here comes Ozzy and Joe.

Cila has made up a ton of time.

Coach and Jonathan trying to stay in it.

Hurry, hurry, hurry.

You're good. Let's go.

It is now Emily and Devens

trying to make up the last bit of time

and pull out a come-from-behind victory.

Come on, Devens! Come on!

We got a challenge now.

Come on, guys!

- Ready?
- Let's go.

They're coming back.
They're coming back.

Coach and Jonathan

whipping through the water.

- There you go. There you go.
- That's it! Yes!

Genevieve and Rizo now starting
to get the hang of it.

Let's go!

Jonathan and Coach made up
a ton of time in the water.

Let's go, you got it!

We got everybody in this.

It's now Charlie and Dee.

They're gonna be working
on this final bit.

Come on! Let's go!

Everybody's in it now.

Rizo and Genevieve very close.

There you go!

But now they're stuck.

Rizo trying to knock it off.

But it is stuck.

That opens the door.

Dee and Charlie trying to get in it.

Emily and Devens trying to stay in it.

- You're still in it!
- You're still in it, Devens!

Do it together!

- Do it together!
- Yeah!

They have freed it up.

One more!

Yeah!

There it is!
Rizo and Genevieve have the key.

- Go, go!
- My God.

We're gonna win.

What the hell?

- You've got the key.
- Unlock it, Q.

Free up your torch.

All right. Let's go.

- Everybody, for the win.
- Yeah!

First win of the season.

Yeah!

One, two, three, Vatu!

Vatu wins fire in the form of flint.

Off to a fast start this season.

Let's go.

Wow, what an epic effort by everybody.

I'm glad we have you...

All right, nice victory
out of the gate for you, Vatu.

Yeah!

Fire in the form of flint is yours.

Yeah!

In addition,
you will have a massive bonfire

waiting for you back at camp.

Should be a big head start
and a symbolic reminder

of what matters most in this game,

which is your fire.

As for the rest of your tribe supplies,

and for all of
your tribe supplies over here,

you're gonna have
to earn those another way.

You're gonna make one big
decision toward that right now.

Each tribe is gonna choose one person.

They will leave here

and go compete in the fight for supplies.

Kalo, who's gonna go compete
and fight for supplies

for the Kalo tribe?

You want to go, Coach?

- What's that?
- You want to go?

They're sending me.

Here we go.

- Thanks, Tiffany.
- I-I believe in you.

The hero or the goat.

All right, we've got Coach.

Down here on Cila,
who are you putting up?

I mean, I guess it's only fair that I go.

Wow.

We have the makings of a battle.

Give the fans what they want.

Yeah!

All right, so we've got Coach,
we've got Ozzy.

And now from Vatu...

All right.

So we have Q, Coach and Ozzy

battling in the fight for supplies.

- Head out that way.
- Come on, Q.

- Come on, baby.
- Boats are gonna take you.

Show 'em what a jungle man you are.

- Whoo!
- Bring back the bacon, baby.

You got it. You got it.

- That's awesome.
- All right.

Vatu, Kalo, Cila, head out.

- Boat will pick you up.
- Okay.

Survivor 50 is officially underway.

The fact that I'm playingSurvivor 50,

the most anticipated season of all time,

with players I idolized,
is a dream come true.

But as a super fan, I know
everyone here is very dangerous.

In the Hands of the Fans

is gonna be more like.

Welcome to the Bloodbath.

I couldn't help but smile

because I'm playingSurvivor again.

And we won the biggest bonfire

I've ever seen in my life.

My gosh.

It's like Burning Man

on this beach, okay?

- That's fine.
- My God.

Hi, Colby.

It's been seven years,
and I've become a mom.

And this is a chance
to show them the new Angelina

that isn't, like, trying
to steal jackets and stuff

and whatever else I did.

You guys know I haven't
seen Colby in 16 years.

- 16 years? - Yeah.
- Yes.

Yes.

You're still kicking ass,
just like you always did, man.

Seeing Colby is so comforting

because we played together
on Heroes/Villains.

Rupert's over there talking

- to JT now.
- Yeah.

- They're all...
- Right, right.

He looks great.

He was in his 30s last time I saw him.

I was in my 20s.

Like, we're older now.

Okay, so we're going fire
and we're going shelter.

- Okay.
- I don't know

a lot of the new era people,

but Colby I know I can really trust.

The bond is unspoken.

We have a lot of history.

Let's do this.

He's hardworking.

- He's loyal.
- I think we can transfer...

This is my pace.

He's got integrity.

Like, he's just
the perfect person I would want

- to play this game with.
- Good to be back?

Why don't we find an idol
and then come...

- come down here?
- How you doing?

- I'm good. How are you?
- Good...

- I like... Kyle.
- Kyle,

- Genevieve.
- Yeah.

Colby, I got to say,

I'm super... happy that you're here.

My first impression of Rizo is,

he's loud, he likes to talk a lot.

I didn't come to play Survivor
for second or third.

I came to win.

Rizo did more talking
and more dodging of work.

I just don't know if eight of us
are gonna fit here.

We're not done yet.

I believe he's 25.

I know a lot of 25-year-olds

with incredible work ethic.

I'm not sure Rizo is
one of those 25-year-olds.

- My advice is that...
- Yeah.

If you need help, please speak up,

'cause nobody looks
and, like, "You know",

"Colby carries 50 bamboo sticks.
Like, we got to keep him..."

Like, that's just not
how it's played nowadays.

This guy's

gonna be a liability.

He's gonna be a danger to my game

- and Stephenie's game...
- It'll be a team effort.

And to us as a tribe.

Season 50, baby.

I can't believe it.

Yeah!

- My gosh.
- Let's go, team.

- Whoo!
- That was a warm-up.

My thighs were too big for that log.

Dude, it feels so good to be here.

I'm a Survivorgirl through and through.

I love being on the island.

I love playing the mind games.

I love having fun.

Even this that we wipe our asses with.

Like, everything is so beautiful.

Do y'all want to do something
that holds us

- off the ground?
- I mean, the dirt's not that bad.

My reputation onSurvivor is that

I am the most dominant winner
in the new era,

and I'm cutthroat.

If they thought I was cutthroat then,

they have no idea what's coming for 50.

But my overall assessment
of this tribe, I'm ecstatic.

We have old era players
and new era players.

We got Coach away from camp
trying to earn the supplies.

He's old, but he got muscles on him.

We also have the people
that are smart for the puzzles.

On the other hand,

we have strength, for sure.

The Jonathan Goliath,

he's a freaking animal.

Are you a giant?

Fee-fi-fo-fum.

We got Jonathan, baby.

We got the man mountain.

We got our extra tribe member.

We got nine players.

Maybe like ten and 11 if
you count each one of his limbs.

Like, this dude's a mountain.

Dude, you look great.

My God, Mike is ripped.

Does anybody want to talk about Mike?

This guy's got abs.

And also,

let's not gloss over the fact

that Mike White has,

like, a bulging six-pack,

which I was not expecting to see.

I guess he's ripped now.

I'm not a great strategist,

so can you just be my strategist

- for me?
- Yes.

You know, at the beginning ofSurvivor,

I think it's good to take the back seat.

After doing White Lotus,

I really feel like I need
to, like, lower my threat level

and be more of the goofball,

you know, that needs
to be led around the camp.

Will you keep Grandpa from
having food in his teeth and...?

- Yes.
- Your teeth are amazing, by the way.

Thank you.

I'm here to have fun.

So, like, if you're stressing me out

or, like, you're irritating me,
like, that's going

to be the person that I target.

I'm here to, like, enjoy my time here.

Like, don't get on Daddy's nerves, okay?

Mike, your show is absolutely brilliant.

I missed the third season
'cause I don't have HBO Max,

but I saw the first two.

Honestly, there's times in White Lotus

where I'm, like, so fried

and I'm like, "Can-can I do this?"

Like, it's, like, a 129-day shoot.

But I look back

on my Survivorexperience.

And I'm like, "Dude, I did that."

"I can do this," you know?

I got so much out of

my lastSurvivor experience, and

there were lessons that I learned

that I didn't know I needed to learn.

So I'm very excited
to be back for this epic season.

My life philosophy is, like,

if you get some crazy,
amazing opportunity

and it just lands in your lap,

like, you're a fool not to take it.

We made it.

Yeah. What's everybody thinking?

- Shelter's not a terrible idea.
- Yeah.

Let's figure out where
we want to have a shelter...

Do you guys want the shelter here?

I love my tribe. I really do.

I see all these all-stars, and it's like,

"What a well-rounded crew."

I know.

You got Cirie. She's a legend.

This is her fifth time playing the game.

And has a ton of knowledge.

How are you feeling?

As soon as I saw, like, a flag on a beach,

I almost peed myself.

Jenna's absolutely awesome.

I mean, season one,

she ate a rat

and talked about how
to take out parts of the rat

that we could eat.

It just tasted like dirty meat.

And there's people on my team
that are brilliant.

Not just smart, they're brilliant.

You got Emily and Christian,
too. He's the man.

And then there's Rick Devens.

We're back, baby.

I love it.

And then you have
Ozzy missing the party.

But the only unknown

was Savannah,
but I'm like, "If you're here,

you seem like
you're going to be awesome."

I don't think we're losing
any immunity challenges,

so you don't have to worry about us.

Savannah, tell us all the 49 tea.

Yeah, I totally can.

The crazy thing aboutSurvivor 50 is

that we are filming this just
two weeks after Survivor 49.

That means that none of these people

know anything about me.
That worries me

because I feel like
I would be an easy vote.

Does anyone have any guesses
about how I did?

- I won.
- Yeah.

Yay!

- Congratulations.
- I think this is

the first step in showing my tribe

that, hey, I'm an open book.

Maybe I'll leave out some of the parts

where I won four individual immunities,

but overall, like,

I'm trying to basically
make people trust me.

- That's awesome. - Yeah.
- Thanks for sharing.

- Thanks. Thank you.
- Aw.

I knew that Savannah had to have done

something big in order to get here.

Survivor 50is not gen pop.

This is death row.

So, like, you got here
doing some major...

You've got blood on your hands.

- I'm not here to play old-school.
- Yeah.

- I am here to win.
- Yes.

- This is a returning season.
- It becomes

very bloody very fast and very emotional

when you already know people.

I'm a little bit worried about Cirie's story.

- She has a... great story.
- Yeah.

- I... Yeah.
- And she...

if you've watched all five seasons...

I know. I know.

I love my tribe, I love

- that you guys are a part of it.
- Yeah.

I mean, if that's what
the majority wants to do.

I would love to target Cirie.

She's played five times.
She's a threat no matter what.

She, she's like the queen
who doesn't call herself queen.

You know what I mean?

I would like to work
with you and Savannah,

and I would like to get Cirie out.

I want you and me,
Savannah and Joe right now...

- Okay, sure.
- To take out Cirie.

- So let's do that.
- That's good.

I think a lot of people are looking at me.

They're like,
"She hasn't played in 21 years.

She doesn't know what's going on."

But I've always been cutthroat enough

to play this new fast-paced game.

I am here to cut people, and Cirie is such

a lovely lady. I love you,

but if I let you get an inch in this game,

you'll take a mile.

The fans voted against us having

supplies from the beginning, and so

one person from each tribe

must fight for it.

Man.

I'm going to go against
two younger gentlemen

than myself, including

my nemesis Ozzy, on day one.

I thought that was going
to be later on in the season,

not on the first day.

- Coach.
- How are you, sir?

I'm good, man. It's been,

what, 27 seasons?

Geez, man, that's crazy.

Ozzy and I have major history. I mean,

we were pitted against
each other in South Pacific.

So, Coach, you got to be honest.

Your game philosophy
has been a certain thing.

The honor, all of that.

We all know it's a bunch of bull,

because if you really believe that,

it would be me and you sitting up there.

- It would be.
- Yeah.

He cost me a million dollars, so

this is a conversation
15 years in the making.

I feel like I should have done a lot more

to help you win that season.

I think you should have won that season.

I really do think you should have.

I appreciate that. I mean, really,

your job on the jury is

to get that pound of flesh.

I was a horrible loser.

I think it's more on me than you.

Honestly, I-I apologize, man.
I should've...

I should've handled it more graciously.

My hopes coming into the season

is that Coach and I are going to be able

to squash whatever beef we have

and we're going to be able
to work together in a way

that's going to be beneficial

to our games

and not repeat the same mistakes
that we had in the past.

And whoever wins wins

in a fair and just way.

"Welcome to your fight for supplies.

"You will race out
to collect bundles of materials.

"Retrieve your first bundle
from atop a pole.

"Unbury a second bundle
from inside the roped circle.

Then swim out to the buoy
to collect your final bundle."

"Use these materials
to build a stick long enough

to retrieve a single key
from behind a wall."

"First to collect the key earns

their tribe supplies."

My friggin' gosh.

- Yeah.
- Okay.

Sounds like a...

That sounds like
a challenge made for Ozzy.

- There's gonna be a fight.
- I don't think so.

This is gonna be a fight.

Let's go. Let's go.

I've done every

single part
of this challenge so many times.

I got this.

- All right, are we ready?
- Yup.

Okay. On your mark.

- Get set.
- Go.

I'm watching Ozzy, and I'm thinking,

"boy,

I might be in trouble."

This guy

is better than I thought.

Good gracious.

At this point, I've got a huge lead.

So I feel like I'm back.

I feel like I'm, like,
at the end of the game almost.

Because, you know, it's like the
individual immunity challenge.

Like, it's up to me to win this.

There's no one else I have to
depend on. My tribe's not here.

It's got to be me.

So I said, "No matter what happens",

"Keep going, persevere,

get to the end, and you have a chance."

Because the twist is,
we're fighting for the same key.

So it doesn't matter
who knocks the key off.

It matters

who drags it over the finish line.

The lead is crucial
in this challenge because

your fellow competitors
can steal the key from you.

So it's up to me to just
close the deal at this point.

It should be easy.

Little did I know that
the weight of the pole itself,

once you finally got it
out there, it was so bent.

It was like a wet noodle,
so you kind of have

to, like, whip it towards the key.

- I looked over at Ozzy's pole.
- Rickety as heck.

I said, if I can make the first
four pieces of wood strong...

Because if Ozzy got it,

that's going
to give me a chance to steal it.

Once I saw how difficult
it was going to be,

with the distance
from the fence and the wind,

my heart just sinks.

I know that this is going to be a struggle.

Aah!

, my thing broke.

We all realized this is going
to be so difficult.

I'm like, "I just got to keep trying."

I am not going to give up this challenge.

35

Minutes later, still no key.

Fudge.

It's been, like, 45 minutes now.

And I'm like, "You know what?"

"Whoever can knock the key off,

"you deserve to win.
It's like I'm giving it to you.

Just go for it."

I immediately thought,

"I'm keeping my mouth shut. I will make

no such deal."

It's every man for himself out here.

Nice job, dude.

Sorry, man, I'm sorry, I'm sorry.

Coach stole the key
right out from under me.

I just hoped in my heart of hearts

that after the moment
that Coach and I had

when we talked about sportsmanship

and honor and all of that,

that Coach was going to do
what I think is the right thing.

But Coach decided that he was
going to be cutthroat.

To slay the dragon that is Ozzy,

one of the greatest
challenge beasts of all time,

on day one,
and my hopefully former rival,

it felt euphoric.

I have friggin'

started this season off with a W.

"Use your key to unlock your supplies

"and head back to camp a hero.

"Once the winner has departed,

"the two losers will flip this cover

and read the next note together."

That's cool.

That's a, that's a cool twist.

Peekaboo.

Get your pot and your machete
and your flint.

All right, boys.

- Congrats.
- Enjoy that. That's really cool.

- All right, bro.
- That's really cool.

We'll let you know next time we see you.

How sweet it is, the victory.

I got to say, I'm a little sour.

I feel like Coach is proving

he is going to play a cutthroat game.

He's going to win at all costs,

and his word really doesn't mean
too much.

I will be, when I need to be, ruthless,

I will be cutthroat,

and I will be honorable.

But this is Coach 4.0 here,

I'm gonna tell you right now
from the jump.

- Ready to open this thing, man?
- Yeah. Hell yeah.

- Let's do it.
- Let's do it.

Q and I are looking
at each other, and we're like,

"man, we maybe are going
to get something really cool.

"Maybe there's an idol under there.

You know, there's going
to be something good."

"Welcome to Exile Island.

"As a penalty for losing,

"you will not return to camp today.

"You will spend the night here on Exile

"and rejoin your tribe tomorrow morning.

"It's a massive setback

but maybe the start
of something unexpected."

Well, Ozzy, I'm Q.

- Hey, what's up?
- Looks like we're spending the night tonight.

Hell yeah.

Boy.

This is not good news.

I have to stay here with Ozzy,

who's mad that Coach stole his key.

This is not going to be fun.

- Well, come on, old pal.
- Let's do it.

- Is that a boat?
- Yes.

- No way.
- My God!

No way, dude!

Hey, you!

Lo and behold,

our main man Coach
comes back with gifts in hand.

And he beat Ozzy.

Coach! Coach!

Coach! Coach! Coach! Coach! Coach!

Coach! Coach! Coach!

Coach! Coach! Coach!
Coach! Coach! Coach!

- Coach! Coach!
- Whoo!

And Coach likes to be the hero,

so by all means
I want Coach to be the hero.

- Well, after that welcome, ..., I feel great.
- Yeah!

I mean, like, for real,
I felt, I felt... I mean...

- Welcome.
- How cool.

Coach, I like your toenail color.

Thank you. I did that
with my daughter before we left.

I knew it. I knew it.

This one has been on since 1988.

- What?
- Are you serious?

Yes.

No.

Charlie, let me put this on you
for a second.

Ew.

Forget boredom. Like, we got.

Coach "The Dragon Slayer"
Benjamin Wade,

and I'm putting on his toe ring.

It's like this is nuts.

Yeah, point those toes.

As a fan, it's an honor

to dangle my toes up
and accept Coach's ring.

And who knows what that means?

Maybe we're-we're blood brothers
out here.

You feel like you've got
a little bit more power

- in your wheelhouse?
- Yeah.

I do. I feel strong.

I feel naked without it, actually.

Everyone is seriously amazing.

Like, we're having fun, but, I love

the strategy. I know it's a microcosm

of society and relationships of people,

but truthfully,

I love the strategy.

What do I do today
so I can still be here tomorrow

and make the move the day after that?

So, here's the thing, Coach.

We need to stick together
until we get the numbers.

Coach, we're going to have
to come up with any reason

to, like, vote anybody out.

And I like Dee, but she won the money.

And that, to me, is a red flag.

Dee is a prior winner.

Like, she's won this game already.

So Dee is actually a real threat to me,

even though I think she's, like, amazing.

Are you okay with all this?

Yeah, I'm just, like, processing.

- I'm-I'm okay with all of it, yeah.
- Okay.

I mean, the main thing is, is that...

You and me are tight, right? Like...

Yes, we're good, yeah.

So, the person
who's going to win this season

has to be adaptable, thinking constantly,

and never take their foot off the gas.

I want to be diabolical

and laugh while I'm doing it.

- Okay.
- Okay, but...

She's like, just like,
"Who can you pull in on her?"

Yeah.

No. I thought it was a scroll.

I was like...

"my God!" I was gonna do a little dance.

Damn it.

Season 50 being in the hands

of the fans means

that they shape the game
that we're playing.

The fans voted on whether
or not there will be idols.

And we don't know how they voted.

We don't even know if they're out here.

It's all right, yeah, cool, please, dude,

just keep doing,
keep doing your thing, dude.

Thankfully,

I got my buddy Rick Devens.

He's an idol hound.

If there's an idol
still out here, he will find it.

We should get back.

I'm known as the idol guy.

But I'm really counting
on building relationships early.

And that way,
if there aren't idols, I'm okay.

So Christian Hubicki

is the person I wanted to play with.

And I just hoped

that he wanted to play with me.

And I'm trying to feel him out,
not come on too strong,

because you're kind of going, "my gosh",

"I hope he wants to play with me

as much as I want to play with him."

I felt like a middle schooler.

Like, I want to hand him a note, like,

"Really want to play with you.

Do you want to play with me?
Check yes, check no."

Is it possible to say more
nice things about Rick Devens?

The-the great newscaster
of Macon, Georgia?

I love Rick Devens.
Who doesn't love Rick Devens?

Aw!

I'm constantly noticing that.

I'm so happy you're here with me.

I think this is going
to be a beautiful thing.

It's going to be great.

I think you're the ideal man
of action for what we need.

You are Captain Kirk. I'm Mr. Spock.

Yeah, bro.

- Yes, you got to do the thing.
- Yeah.

- No, I got to do the thing.
- Is-is the thumb out or in?

- Out. That's it.
- Out. Yeah.

Sorry, I'm a Star Warsguy.

Strategically, we're compatible.

He's like Captain Kirk,
and I am like Mr. Spock.

I'm the one plotting the torpedo
trajectories from the bridge,

and he's beaming down on away
missions, fighting the Gorn.

- I think Emily really wants to work with me.
- Yeah.

And her and I are trying to find
a time to have this talk.

You, me, Christian...

- Yes.
- Yeah. My God, Emily.

- I can't believe this.
- I can't believe this either.

- I can't believe this. This is perfect.
- This was incredibly lucky.

No, no, I-I want to play
the whole game with you.

I came into the Cila tribe
preparing to be on the bottom.

But, like,

people want to work with me.

I think people genuinely want
to work with me.

I haven't really had that before.

On season 45, I felt like I was
the bottom-of-the-barrel choice

that somebody would work with.

I don't know why you implicitly trust me.

- I don't know either. I just do.
- But you should.

But the more I talk to people,

the more I'm realizing,

I do feel like I need to rewire
my brain to conceptualize,

maybe they're being real
and honest when they say,

"Yeah, we want to work with you."

Are you kidding me?

Can I give you a hug? Geez.

My God, this is good.

So far, season 50 is already

leaps and bounds above season 45.

And while I think
I've made a lot of progress,

and I want to give myself
credit, as I should,

for the progress that I've made,

it's a little too early
for me to take full victory.

Dude, I want to run. Let's run, right?

- I like... I like Genevieve.
- I like her, too.

- I-I like her, too.
- So, I think she's good.

- Stephenie's good to go.
- So let's lock that four.

And then we'll figure out who our fifth...

And we got to figure out who the fifth is,

- 'cause we need the majority.
- Okay. Okay.

Coming off of a win, I know that

the game moves quick.
I've played the 26, new era,

fast-paced game.

I love that. I want to work with you.

I want to build relationships.

That's always my mantra.

Build relationships first.

This is not chess. This is not poker.

This is people.

You build a relationship,
then you play the game.

Genevieve is somebody that strategically,

I can tell that she's a gamer.

She's intelligent,
and she could be devious.

And even though I think she's probably

the scariest person on this beach,

I'm excited to play with scary.

Congrats on the win. I don't think

I've seen you in person
to congratulate you.

I just played 48 with the
scariest player on my season.

Her name was Kamilla.
She was an intelligent woman.

She liked to play games,
and she wanted to play with me.

So I'm hoping that's the same
situation with Genevieve.

It seems like things are, like,
happening quickly. I...

Genevieve, yes,
thank you for saying that.

I'm so glad.

I totally get how Kyle won his season.

He is so charismatic.

This tight connection with Kyle

is new to me.

The first time I played,

I didn't connect with people.

So Genevieve 2.0 is trying
to be laying foundation

and making friends
with absolutely everybody.

- We are here.
- If we're going to play together,

- you need to know this real quick.
- Yup.

- My left ear is bad.
- Okay.

So, if we're talking quiet, and
I favor you with my right ear,

- it's because I can hear better out of this one, okay?
- Okay.

Like...

- Of course.
- Then how are you...?

Okay, I can read it perfect from here.

- Okay, perfect.
- That's great.

I think I've got my

group of four...

Stephenie, Colby,

Kyle and myself.

I can't believe

it's going so well with people
that I want to work with.

Like, when is the other shoe
going to drop?

I think you're an amazing player.

So you're open for business?

I'm open for business, but,

like, what's your perception of me?

I think you're very dangerous.

But if I had danger on my side,
I would love that.

A dangerous duo can do a lot of damage.

- We could do, we could do great things.
- Yes.

But I'm just trying to suss out what kind

of game you're actually trying to play.

- Yes.
- Like, I just don't know.

There's a weird vibe
between me and Genevieve.

We have this unspoken tension.

Like, "I see you, you see me" kind of

standoff thing going on.

We have to communicate with
one another, or I just, like,

- the vibe goes funny for me.
- Okay.

I do not trust Genevieve whatsoever.

I think Genevieve is calculating
and an exceptional liar,

but she also seems to look at the game

in some of the same ways I do.

So I feel like
Genevieve is someone where

I'm gonna have to cut
your throat before you cut mine.

- Did you get another one?
- Gross.

Just swallow it. It's a little protein.

Exile Island

is tough.

It's cold. The wind is blowing like crazy.

And there's

a lot of bugs.

Aah! Jeff, why did you do this?

Man, I had something

crawling on me last night.

I thought
I had something crawling on me.

- And I kind of, like, flicked real quick.
- Yeah. Yeah.

Something pretty big.

Being on Exile is
a massive setback for my game.

There's alliances that get made day one.

People are walking through,
collecting bamboo.

They're like,
"Let's go to the end together."

And, you know, if you miss out
on that, you might

miss out on a chance
to be in a great alliance.

You know, we don't have a machete.

We don't have anything.

We have our water bottles. That's it.

But my back is totally just toasted.

And I'm hoping I can get back to my tribe

as quickly as possible.

And I hope I don't see you again.

I don't think we will.

All right, man, you be good.

Now we get it.

My God...

This is a huge moment for me.

The old Ozzy wants

to be the provider,
make fire, open coconuts.

But I'm not the old Ozzy.

I'm playing as Oscar this time,

and Oscar's a quick-talking negotiator.

You guys have a stronger tribe.

I think you guys are going to be fine.

So, I think I need the extra vote.

- And I got the pot and machete?
- Yeah.

But we have fire right now. Y'all don't.

I don't care about camp supplies.

Zero. With this many crazy
players, you need real power

in the game.

Real power in the game is an extra vote.

I mean, bro, I think I need the extra vote.

You're just gonna show up
empty-handed, though.

That's all right.

It's only one Tribal.

Okay.

Somehow

I convinced Q to give me the extra vote.

This, to me, is showing me
I'm on the right path,

I'm playing the right kind of game.

It can't be about just winning
challenges and hunting fish.

So this means everything to me.

I couldn't be happier.

I feel good about the decision because

I think I have the better end of the deal

to get the supplies.

It's better to be the hero than the zero.

Better to be me than Ozzy.

Come on, guys! Q's here!

- Q!
- Whoo!

Look, he's got... he's got a pot.

- Q!
- He's got a pot.

He's got a pot.

I see Q with the pot and machete.

He's got his hero moment.

And I'm like,

"Yes, Q. Always be closing."

So, after about 35 minutes,

Ozzy had reached through to get
a key, and he knocked it off.

Coach stole it.

- Wow.
- Wow.

Ozzy was pissed.

I have to tell them
where these supplies come from.

But I cannot tell everybody I lost my vote.

Well, I didn't lose it. I sold it.

So now I have to come up with a lie.

Exile sucks.

This morning,

there was 50 coconuts, both of us had.

We had to go 20 yards in between.

- So, did Ozzy earn it, as well?
- No.

- He didn't get it?
- I felt so bad for him.

- Wow.
- So...

Q stepped up, and he went
and won supplies for us.

But he also missed
an entire day on this beach.

I want to talk to him pretty quickly

because if there's anybody
who can change a tribe dynamic,

it's that man right there.

- We're-we're good.
- No, we're solid.

100%. You ain't got to worry about that.

I'm just trying to make sure
the pieces around us

- is also... solid.
- Yeah.

- Talk-talk to Genevieve and tell me what you think.
- Okay.

So the only thing
that I left out in that story...

I don't have a vote
for the very first Tribal.

Swear to God.

Q mentions to me that he's lost his vote.

And it shows me
that he wants to play with me.

And I think he's going to fit in perfectly

with the foursome that we have with me,

Colby, Stephenie and Genevieve.

But I think I'm in the best spot
in this game,

and that's exactly what I wanted.

My goodness, it is quite sunny.

- It is. It is.
- That's...

Ozzy comes back, got no supplies,

got nothing for us.

That can be demoralizing.

These other two tribes...

they have machetes and pots and flint.

They can make fire.
They can cut bamboo.

They can cut coconuts.

Having supplies just makes everything

easier, it's better for morale.

Back in the classic era,

it was a thing that was done.

What if I could use everyone's glasses

and the sun to make fire?

I'm sure there's a way to do it.

Yeah, we can science this stuff.
This isn't that hard.

This is like high school physics, I think.

My glasses... they're concave.

If you're nearsighted,
you need to see far.

Your lenses are shaped like a bowl.

And that diffuses light and
doesn't-doesn't condense it.

Science is cool, kids.

It is cool, kids. Anyway, all right, so...

- Ooh.
- That actually looks real good, by the way.

Yeah, it does. Hold the top one.

Yeah, I got it. You got it.
So hold the top one.

Aim it down. Aim it down here.

You're leaning on me, right, Jenna?

- Yup.
- Fantastic.

You got it. You got it. Look at that.

I think we have an ember.

A lot of smoke. Keep going.

Come on.

Come on. Come on.

We have this. We have this.
We have an ember. Come on.

Yes, sir. Hey.

Hey, get-get him some more...

Get a fire! Fire, fire, fire, fire!

Yeah, baby!

Nice work, Christian.

We did it. We got fire.

- Yeah!
- Is that not crazy?

- Whoo!
- We just did that.

Fire!

I've never made fire with glasses.

I never looked up
how to make fire with glasses.

But six weeks before I came
here, my baby boy was born.

And nobody here knows I have a child.

My son is my secret weapon.

Good job, guys.

It was amazing.

I want to set an example for my son.

That's the true north.

You must be riding such a high
right now.

- Yes.
- My God.

Not to take it too deep, but, like,

someday my son will see this.

Someday he will.

- I like Christian.
- Do you like Christian?

- I like Christian. I-I...
- I like Christian a lot.

- I think he's solid.
- I do, too.

- Yeah.
- I do, too.

No.

She's got your name in her mouth.

Like, why are we putting...

- Why are we even bringing people's names up?
- Wow.

- Whoa, now.
- I'm sorry. I didn't mean to throw that...

That's crazy.

We haven't even gone to the
first immunity challenge yet,

and my name is being
thrown around by Jenna.

I think, in Jenna's mind,

she was the first season,

so she is the queen.

And I can't help it

if I give off queen vibes.

Man.

So I need to form
good enough relationships

that people'd rather
keep me around than Jenna.

Jenna...

clutch my pearls if I had some on...

I know.

They are the only ones that...

while we have a second...

Yeah.

- I know, I thought about that, too.
- Twice.

But I am the most loyal
person you can find, Ozzy.

I know.

I'm not stupid.

You have such a much better
skill set with people than me.

- Cirie, I'm 100% with you.
- Same. Same.

And I'm ready to play some cutthroat.

I'm trying to play a different game,

but I'm still kind of new
at this, like, strategic game.

So I need somebody

to help me.

And Cirie, I think, has
a great mind for strategy.

Yeah, so...

That's excellent.

If you want to rock with me,

- I'll rock with you to the end.
- That's why I just told you,

'cause I'm not gonna tell anyone else.

That's awesome. That's awesome.

Cirie is my number one alliance.

The one person

that I'm gonna trust
with my life in this game.

And hopefully, if I can
pull in one or two other people,

I've got control of this tribe,

with Cirie's help.

All right, are you guys ready?

- Let's do this!
- The Vatu

fashion show will start.

- Well done.
- Whoo!

Here we have Genevieve

- from Canada with her...
- Whoo! Come on.

Red, iconic jacket.

Ready to kill. Wow.

- Wow. - Wow.
- That's so great.

- It's the lawyer.
- Wow.

Working with the Buff shirt

- half shirt, Kyle Fraser.
- What in the Wide, Wide World of Sports is going on here?

Let 'em have it, Mr. Fraser.

What in the world? This is unreal.

I can't unsee that.

Let's give it a round of applause.

I judged Rizo pretty harsh
and pretty quickly,

but this kid is fun.

The young man has,

to a degree, won me over.

And she's raising hell.

And it doesn't escape me

that he's the same age I was

when I first played this game.

And I see that same exuberance,

that same excitement, that same energy.

And the finale, Q...

So how can I help him?

Not in the game but as a guy

that's been around the sun
a few more times than he has.

Good job, everybody. Well done.

And I can't believe
I'm here with you, like...

I'm glad you're here.

Look, I fear for you.

- One, because you're young.
- Yeah.

Two, because you just turned
around and came back out here.

Right.

If you're ever feeling down and
you need somebody to talk to,

come talk to me.

Thank you, man.

Just hearing this from you, like...

My dad's 47, and...

and my parents mean
everything to me, man.

And you coming to talk to me like this...

And it means a lot more than you know.

Well, I'm glad you're here, brother.

Colby's giving me advice,

and I'm all ears, whether it's about life,

whether it's about
hisSurvivor experience.

I take all that in because, listen,

the only way you gain knowledge

is from people who went through it.

And Colby's gone through it three times.

How old were you on season two?

25, I think.

As a super fan,

I still get that
butterfly feeling in my stomach,

where it's like, my God,

I'm playing with true icons of this game.

But I am confident

in the player that I am
as well as in the person.

I heard this quote ever since I was a kid,

and it stuck with me.

"If you dream big, dream bigger."

- Yeah.
- So,

I need to go from Rizo the fan
to Rizo the player,

because I'm playing season 50
to cement my legacy.

I want to be remembered

as one of the great players
to ever play this game.

Yeah, dude.

Born ready.

Last time I played as
the protector, as the provider.

People have told me
that I was the most physical,

dominant player in Survivor.

For season 50,

I'm gonna see the game
in a different way.

I'm gonna be fluid.

I'm gonna be way more flexible,

'cause I know I have

to be more strategic.

How you feeling, Mike?

Feel good.

Can I throw something at you?

Yeah.

I feel like Dee's really, really smart.

- Yeah.
- And I feel like she won.

- Yeah.
- And, Mike, bro, she's one of the best new era winners.

- Like...
- Yeah.

- And rightfully so.
- Yeah, all-around player.

I agree.

I'm setting up alliances

real early, working
with the old-school players.

I'm more like an old-school player

because I am honest, I'm more genuine.

I will never,
never betray you in this game.

- Same, Coach.
- Right? And I'm telling you.

I hope to God
I make it to the end with you.

Frigging awesome, dude.

It'd give me chills.

I don't think

there's anything wrong
with being genuine

and playing the game a little harder.

It's gonna be Jonathan 2.0, I promise.

- I'm so happy we're on the same tribe.
- Girl.

Girl, girl, girl, girl, girl.

Like, you have no idea.

- I'm like, please put me with a game player.
- God, dude.

- Like, honestly, this was, like, best-case scenario.
- So crazy.

I love Dee because she's so charismatic.

You know, I love that energy.

I'm a Chatty Patty. I'm an energy girl.

I'm like, "I love you, too."

Like, "You love me?

Let's love on each other."

Also, I like Kamilla a lot.

I think she's so sweet and smart as hell.

This could be a fun little three.

If I'm being totally honest, the
only person who I haven't been,

like, really chatting it up with is Chrissy.

Okay.

If I had my pick,
honestly, it would be her.

I have no strong opinion.

If someone says a name
that's not my name,

and that's what the group wants, I'll do it.

- Like...
- Yeah, yeah.

But rest assured, we're aligned.

There are so many smart
and strong new era women

ready to play, and I love it.

I had a whole season of honor

and integrity in 48, and I'm so sick of it.

I trust both of y'all.

- Like, for real.
- That's crazy.

Me, Tiff and Dee

all want to have

a little bit of fun
and then slaughter someone.

And a little bit of fun and then

slaughter someone.

So people have no idea what's coming.

Well, this season we have
players that have played three,

four, even five times.

Do you think you have what it takes

to become a Survivorlegend?

Only one way to find out.

Apply to be on Survivor.

Come on in.

Hi, Jeff.

A lot of smiles.

My God.

Vatu arrives.

Hello.

Good morning.

Good morning.

All right, shall we get
to your first immunity challenge

for Survivor 50?

All right.

For today's challenge,

you're gonna race up
and over a steep ramp.

You will then crawl
through a muddy net tunnel.

Once everybody's through,

two players will roll a big metal cage

filled with coconuts.

Once you reach the platform,
two other tribe members

will empty those coconuts.

Then one tribe member will
toss those coconuts into a net

until it's heavy enough to drop
the crate releasing a rope.

Another tribe member will
use that rope to drop a ramp.

Then you work together to get everybody

to the top of the platform,

where two remaining
tribe members will race to solve

a 50-pieceSurvivor 50 puzzle.

Sound good?

- Yes.
- Yes.

Whoo!

First two tribes to finish...

- Two tribes? That's really good news.
- Earn immunity.

This is what you covet this season.

- My! - Yeah!
- Whoo!

A rooster.

In addition, playing for reward.

Want to know what you're playing for?

What? What you got?

First tribe to finish,

a beautiful Survivorfishing kit.

- Yeah!
- Come on, baby.

Everything you need.

Second tribe to finish,
smaller but still effective.

Yeah.

Losers, Tribal Council,

where somebody will be the first person

voted out of Survivor 50.

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

Cila, you're still working
to try to get yours.

All right, I'll give you
a minute to strategize.

We'll get it on. Here we go.

Nice!

All right, here we go.

For immunity and reward.

Survivors ready.

Go!

First immunity challenge of the season.

Everybody's up and over the ramp.

Okay, me and Aubry go...

Got to get everybody to the mat.

- Come on.
- Come on, come on, come on, come on...

Now you're working on the mud in pairs.

Everybody got to get through the mud.

Good job, Aubry. Nice work.

This is your birth
into this game right here.

Sorry.

You're good. Let's go.

You're good! You're good!

You're good!

Ozzy working with Cirie.

There goes Q with Genevieve.

Ozzy getting through.

Mike White getting through.

Q is through. You're good!

Now it's gonna be Steph and Rizo.

You're good, Tiff. Go.

It's Coach now and Chrissy.

Vatu, you're good!

Start rolling.

- Go, go, go, go, go...
- Colby, Colby...

It's Vatu in the lead.

Okay. One, two, three, go.

One, two, three, go.

All right. Drag it forward.

Go, Cila. You're good.

It is Joe and Devens,

Kyle and Colby.

- Jonathan and Dee now...
- There you go.

- For Kalo.
- You got it.

You got to get it seated inside.

Get it up top, guys. Good.
Pull it back. I got it, I got it...

We're good, we're good...

You're good. Go, go!

You're good. Come in.

You got to get that seated,
Jonathan and Dee.

You're good. Let's go!

One person in, one person catching.

Nice. Great work, you guys.

Rizo and Steph now
in the lead quickly for Vatu.

It is Cila now has their cage undone.

- Good job.
- Okay.

Here goes Mike and Tiff now.

There you go.

You got coconuts,
and you got bags of coconuts.

You're catching up here.

- We're catching up.
- Let's go, Mike.

Yeah.

You got to get everything out...

- Rizo, get out. Go.
- And everything in the bin.

Nice, Rizo.

- Get to the mat.
- You're good. One person.

Everybody back.

Q, let's go.

Q gonna be throwing coconuts now.

There you go. Easy.

Q with the first.

It is Vatu still in the lead.

Vatu was in the lead
the entire first challenge.

Back on the mat.

It's gonna be Charlie now
throwing coconuts for Kalo.

It's gonna be Ozzy now for Cila.

Nice.

Q, that might do it.

Getting closer.

There it is.

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

One person now. One.

- All right, Aubry.
- You got it, Aubry.

- Here we go.
- It's gonna be Aubry on the rope.

- Charlie, you're crushing it.
- One more...

This could do it for Charlie.

- And it does.
- Go!

Okay, let's go.

This could do it for Ozzy.

- One more.
- One more, one more...

That's it.

Ozzy drops for Cila.

You're good, Cila.

It's gonna be Cirie now

- with the monkey's fist.
- All right, Cirie.

It is Aubry
with the monkey's fist for Vatu.

- Coach with the monkey's fist for Kalo.
- Come on, Coach.

- Let's go.
- This is a critical role.

You have got to latch it on
so you can drop the ramp.

That's how you do it. Pull it.

You're good. Everybody up the wall.

It's Kalo now through first,
extending their lead.

Come on.

I got it, I got it.

Cirie giving it a go.

Fifth time out here,
it never gets any easier.

- I got it. - Got it?
- Yeah!

Cirie launching high
but not nearly far enough.

Kalo has a big lead right now.

Let's go!

Jonathan continues
to be a human ladder.

One by one, player after player.

- Aubry has it.
- You got it, girl.

- Good job.
- Go.

You're good! Let's go!

It's now Vatu on the wall.

One at a time?

Everybody at once, you're good!

It is now just Cirie
trying to drop that ramp.

Let's go, Cirie!

Find it!

Kalo's got Charlie to the top.

Two people on the puzzle.

Let's go.

We've got Chrissy and Kamilla
on the puzzle for Kalo.

Hey, come on. I got you.

I'll lift you up.

Jump right here.

Kyle going for it right here.

Kyle, you need help?

Get back. Get back.

- Whoa.
- You got it, Kyle...

Inches away.

Hey, this is, this is the dry side.

Hey.

Kyle, just, come on, get to me.

Kyle.

You all right?

- You guys...
- Kyle is hurt.

Kyle, you all right, though?

Stop! Stop! Stop!

Everyone, stop! Everyone, stop!

Stop! Medical!

No.

- Kyle, I love you, buddy.
- We're with you, Kyle.

Hey, hey, hey. It'll work out.

- It'll work out.
- Okay.

- Hey, I'm coming down here.
- I'm good.

- I'm good. I'm not in pain.
- You got this, Kyle. It's okay.

- Kyle, I love you, buddy.
- You're good.

- What's happened?
- I just can't put

- really a lot of pressure on it.
- Okay.

- No.
- No. Okay.

Just let go of that for me.

No.

- Is that painful there?
- No.

Fine. Can you just stand up?

Let's see how you are
putting some weight on it.

Joe, what are you looking for right now?

So, what we just,
we just tested with Kyle...

Okay, have a seat back down, Kyle.

Is I'm just pressing on the...

the bits of the ankle that are tender,

if it might be fractured.

And, now, this could just be a sprain.

And it could be something more.

And so what Kyle needs to do

is try not to put too much weight on it.

That's cool with me. I'll figure it out.

Okay, so he's good to continue.

Yeah.

The obvious caveat is,

you and your tribe
are gonna have to figure out

how to get you up this ramp without you

running on it. You can't run on that.

We'll figure it out. We'll
figure it out. Okay. Okay.

All right. Okay.

- Let's do it.
- All right.

- Yeah, we got this, Kyle.
- Go, Kyle!

Let's go, buddy.

You got it, Kyle.

You got it, buddy.

- I'm coming down to get you.
- All right, everybody ready?

This challenge is back on. Let's go.

- Gonna have to climb up...
- Yeah.

Here comes Q.

- He's gonna come down to try to help Kyle...
- Come on. Come on.

But Kyle has only
got one leg he can use.

- Yes.
- Right there.

Cirie, you got to nail this.

I pulled it.

Damn, that was it. That was it.

- I can do this. I got it. I got it.
- Step on me, step on me...

- I got it. I'm good, I'm good.
- I can get myself up.

They've gotten Kyle to the top.

Amazing work by Vatu.

Cirie still struggling.

I keep hitting the rope.

Like, that was it.

- Now I got it.
- Yeah, I think so...

Cirie has been here a long time.

She is feeling that pressure.

Yep.

It is Chrissy and Kamilla in the lead

for Kalo.

Good idea.

It's Angelina and Genevieve.

- It doesn't work there.
- Right there.

And it is Cirie in the hot seat.

There it is!

Slow, slow, slow, slow...

Cirie, who never
gives up in this game, ever.

You're good, Cila. Up the wall.

It's now Cila trying to close the gap.

Joe gonna give Ozzy some help.

Chrissy and Kamilla continue
to dominate on the puzzle...

over Genevieve and Angelina,

but Cila's gonna be in this.

Here comes Jenna.

First time in 21 years.

Making it look easy.

Now it's up to Joe.

All right, Joe.

It is so difficult to do this alone.

When you're muddy, the wall
is muddy, you're exhausted.

Yes!

But Joe just did it!

Cila's in this!

Let's go!

Just like that, we got a challenge now.

- Flip it.
- Watch out, move, move, move.

It is Emily and Hubicki for Cila.

Two tribes will be safe.

One tribe going to Tribal.

Somebody going home tonight.

First person, Survivor 50.

You just don't want to be last.

Kamilla with another piece for Kalo.

Kalo's running away with it.

- Try that.
- The story is,

can Emily and Christian
catch Genevieve and Angelina?

Like this one.

Kalo looking very good as
that 50 starts to come together.

Hell yeah.

Hold it, hold it. You got this.

Yeah!

That's it.

Kalo wins the first
individual immunity challenge

of Survivor 50.

We're looking for one more.

Put it in!

Angelina and Genevieve...

Be careful.

Trying to make sure they keep this lead.

Hubicki and Emily
trying to close the lead.

Cila's got to keep the engines going.

All the momentum
has slowed down now.

Angelina and Genevieve

now starting to put that 50 together.

This one is in the deep freeze.

The last piece for the win.

- Yeah!
- You got it.

- Vatu wins immunity.
- Yeah!

Safe tonight from Tribal.

Sending Cila to Tribal Council.

Genevieve, great job.

Somebody will be the first
person voted out of Survivor 50.

All right.

Kalo, first immunity challenge.

Yeah.

Victory for your tribe.

Whoo!

Nobody going home from the Kalo tribe.

This is crazy.

Vatu, also victory for you.

Nobody going home from your tribe.

- Good job, girl.
- Kalo, grab your stuff.

Head out. No Tribal Council tonight.

- Thanks, Jeff.
- Fishing gear waiting for you back at camp.

I hope you put it to good use.

Are we really gonna eat fish?

Vatu, smaller fishing gear
waiting for you back at camp.

Grab your stuff, head out.
No Tribal Council tonight.

- Thank you.
- Yeah.

- See you tomorrow, Jeff.
- Yep...

All right, Cila, Tribal Council
tonight, where one of you

will be the first person

voted out of Survivor 50.

As a penalty for losing,

I'll hold on to your flint.

Grab your stuff, head out.

- See you tonight at Tribal Council.
- Thanks.

- Thanks, Jeff.
- Thanks, Jeff.

Dude, I'm not trying to be dramatic,

but Cirie totally blew the challenge today.

It was honestly, like,
the most painful thing

I've ever seen inSurvivor.

Ultimately, I feel
like it cost us the challenge.

So this can be a serious death sentence

for Cirie.

I will say,

okay, I'm not sure,
I'm not the football guy.

I don't know how to give this talk.

But I guess I'll give it a shot.

- Come on, Lombardi.
- Okay, look.

I mean, listen, look.

We got out there,

we made a lot of good decisions,

but we also made
some important mistakes.

That monkey paw toss

was a bottleneck
for the whole challenge.

Right?

It's just those little decisions
we can't miss.

That's it. That's all we need.

And guess what else we got to
do. We got to win the next one.

So, next order of business,
this freakin' mud

needs to go. Blech.

Did you guys win
the first in your seasons?

No.

You lost the first one?

- No, sorry, we didn't.
- I'm sorry.

We did another one last season

where you had to balance on one foot.

Yeah, and they do the balancing
ones in the ocean.

Whoa.

My God.

I don't ever want to be
the one to let anybody down.

I'm a people pleaser.

So to let my entire tribe down

for the first immunity challenge
on season 50 is...

I'm-I'm...

I'm trying to keep it together.

And we have to go
to our first Tribal Council.

I know that you got a lot of other skills.

- Of course.
- A lot of other skills.

But still,

- it just sucks to be the...
- Yeah.

Weak link, so to speak.

I'm gonna have bad days.

I know that.

Today was one of 'em.
But my good days,

- by far, outweigh the bad ones, so...
- Totally.

I know that Jenna
was throwing my name around,

but I can't

vote for Jenna five times myself,

so I'm putting my faith, my game, really,

in the hands of my alliance.

Damn.

So, today, it cemented it for me
that we would have won.

We would have actually had a shot

of winning and how quick
we got up that wall.

I know.

That was embarrassing.

Cirie pretty much tanked
the entire challenge.

Like, there's no other way to put it.

I'm not even trying to be mean.

She just botched it.

We're mentioning only the challenge.

Let's talk about the fact that
she is amazingly kind and sweet,

- and I want to be around her.
- Yeah.

- And even my heart hurts saying her name, and I've watched her.
- I know.

Tonight, for me,
is about getting Cirie out.

I've wanted to take this swing

from the second I stepped on this sand,

day one, because I think she's
one of the biggest threats.

I think, if you look at dynamics,

we have one person that's 55
and can't swim and can't run.

Yeah.

All right, well, let's...

- I got some more...
- See, this is where my gut tells me

I don't know if I can trust you
when it comes to Cirie.

Jenna's amped up,
ready to go, coming in hot,

ready to play the game hard.

But Cirie, right now, is my number one.

Okay.

I don't want to have to use my extra vote

on first Tribal to save Cirie,

but I'm gonna do everything
that I can to protect her

because I'm ride-or-die with her.

I really am.

We can find places for Cirie
in the challenges.

She has a lot of talents,
and Jenna also does.

But going forward in the game,

I think that Jenna's gonna be

more of a liability than an asset,

because of the hard game play.

That just, for me,
is a danger, danger game.

I agree. I agree
with this conversation, too.

My concern is that if-if...
that if Jenna's still around,

we're all gonna be
playing around her game

- for the next however many games.
- For sure.

And whose name
is she gonna throw out next?

She's gonna drive the vote.

- And so...
- Okay.

Jenna... I see someone who,
out of the gate,

playing too hard, too fast.

She has this ferocity

to the point where
I'm actually a little scared.

Cirie's a little bit more
emotional and open.

And that's what I'm looking for.

I'm looking for people I can connect with,

so we can build something for the future.

- Joe, what are you thinking right now?
- Yeah.

You know, I was conflicted just because

I don't want to lose
the challenges, 'cause I don't

- want to be back here.
- For sure. For sure. - Yeah.

Do you feel good about the plan,
then? Is the plan okay?

Yeah, I mean, I-I...

I think it should be, like, at this point,

we should all be on the same page.

The plan is Jenna,
and Ozzy was pushing that.

That made me

step back a little bit,

'cause it was
an immediate "Jenna's out."

I was like, "Well, well, why?
That's so definitive."

Jenna's better at challenges than Cirie.

And at the end of the day,

you don't lose challenges,

you don't go home.

We can't be back here again.

- Dude, I... listen to me.
- We cannot.

So, here's the thing.

With Jenna, I feel like
we kind of know her game.

- With Cirie and Ozzy...
- I agree.

I feel like they're a little more slick.

I agree.

My worry is that Ozzy and Cirie

are working together behind the scenes,

because, on my season,

I got duped by Kyle and Kamilla.

They 100% played me.

And now I see the Ozzy and Cirie.

So immediately

I think, "What? What?

Something's cooking here."

Jenna's aggressive behavior,
although annoying,

is not as threatening

- as the masterful game play that might be going on right now.
- That's true.

I'm really nervous about Ozzy and Cirie

because they are good.

That's the terrifying part.

They're two of the most impactful players

to ever play this game.

I will say, it's giving me pause.

I mean, Ozzy did come out hard
initially in defense of Cirie.

- He's really, like...
- Really.

- And...
- It's not like he's like, "you know, I'd rather."

It's like, no, he's fighting.

Yeah, and that makes me nervous.

- That...
- Should we do Ozzy?

That would be wild.

That would be a chaotic-as-hell choice.

Joe's, like, very concerned
about it. Like, he...

They'll want to vote out Cirie over Ozzy.

I think Joe might vote out Ozzy tonight.

- I think he might...
- Joe would vote Ozzy tonight?

- That was the vibe I got.
- He was all about physical strength, though.

I actually think that the tribe without Ozzy

is stronger for me, in particular.

Weaker physically,
weaker in the challenges,

but I think keeping Jenna

and Cirie, who right now
hate each other...

they're voting for each other,

they do not want to work together at all...

having that dynamic there

automatically distracts
and keeps focus elsewhere.

J-Jenna would vote for Ozzy, though.

- Do you think so? Okay.
- I think so,

because she's definitely anti-Cirie,

but I think she sees
Ozzy and Cirie as a pair.

Yes.

- I don't think any of us like that.
- No.

People are realizing that
Ozzy's connected with Cirie.

That's really scary.

But, honestly, I want Cirie to go home.

She's literally the reason

why we are in this predicament
right now.

And my, and my thinking is that,

if you go anywhere other than Jenna,

then it's gonna be a dirty vote.

And we're gonna send
someone back to camp pissed off.

We're getting rid
of someone huge tonight,

and it is gonna set the tone.

I mean, Jenna's
the season one representative.

We're gonna get her out first?

Ozzy... he's a challenge beast.

No one would ever expect to go out first.

Cirie... this is her fifth time.

No one would ever expect
to go out first, so...

It's season 50.
You don't know what to expect.

I just want a consensus.
That's what I want.

- That's all I want.
- I would like that, too.

I-I just want a consensus.

This just into the Survivornewsroom,

Cila, see ya later tonight

at Tribal Council.

Jenna, Cirie or Ozzy...

it could be any of the three,

but at least it's not me.

Stay tuned.

- Wow.
- Holy cow.

- My God. Wow.
- Yeah.

Behind each of you is a torch.

Grab a torch, dip it in and get fire.

This is part of the ritual at Tribal Council,

because even 50 seasons in,

fire represents your life in the game.

When your fire's gone,
so are you. You know the drill.

That's going to be the case
for one of you tonight,

in our 50th season, to be
the first person voted out.

So, Jenna, take me back

to your very first Tribal Council,

which, at this point,
was over 25 years ago.

Wow.

What do you remember about it?

I remember banging a gong

as we went in.

It was tiny compared to this.

I remember we took it
kind of lightly at first.

B.B., the tribe has spoken.

But it was embedded
in us how serious it was

when we had to send someone home

and you had to go back to camp
without them.

And now you're back at Tribal
two decades later.

What is different?

I think there are
much longer discussions,

which I think is great.

People really getting their voice heard.

Also, I mean,
this is humongous and beautiful.

It's really sadly beautiful.

So, Joe, when you look
at a group like this,

and you literally have somebody
from the very first season

and literally somebody
from our most recent season,

how do you assess
what is an advantage,

in terms of previous relationships,

versus what is baggage?

I feel like I'm taking a lot of baggage

into this with me
from my season, you know?

- In what way?
- Well, you know, I feel

with Kyle and Kamilla, you know,

they gave me a wedgie
on national television,

and I'm still recovering,
and it's pretty fresh.

Explain what you mean by that...
they gave you a wedgie.

Well, it's like, you share
these intimate connections.

You say things that are so real,

but then it was encased
in some deception,

and I carry that baggage,
and then it clouds my vision.

But what I know for sure is,

I think the best thing we can do

is come in this with a clean slate.

Give everybody a fair shot.

Christian, what's the likelihood

of 24 Survivorplayers saying,

"Let's all come in with a clean slate"?

How many zeros are there after
a decimal point that you can fit

in a percentage? I think the
answer is technically infinite.

So, no, it's not going to happen.

It's not going to happen. There's no way

that everything is
a completely clean slate.

There's just too much history.

Ozzy, it's an obvious question.

Past relationships can help or hurt.

What do you do when you are
a player who has played

as many times as you have?

You have to examine the games
that you have played.

I went back and I looked
and I saw the person that I was,

the kid that I was,

and I realized I wanted
to play a different game

that was more mature,
that was more about really

just getting to know everybody,

because if you have
the solid connections

with every single person,
coming to Tribal Council

goes from being a really easy choice

to something that's super
complicated, very complex,

but hopefully
we can grow from it somehow.

Cirie, we've been on
two and a half decades,

so what do you do
when there's no hiding the fact,

you know people in this game,
you've played with some of them?

What you do, Jeff, is try to be
as transparent as possible.

Yeah, I knew Ozzy,
but Ozzy and I weren't friends.

I actually voted Ozzy out
in our first season,

and I hope that the people that
were selected for 50 because

they are great at reading people
and playing this game

can tell that I'm being truthful.

Devens, you play your first time,

and then you start waiting for the call

to play a second time.

What do you do to study the game?

I mean, first of all, you watch.

You know, every Wednesday
I'm tuned in and I'm watching.

And you just kind of study the
new things you add to the game.

First it was Sweat vs. Savvy.

Then there are journeys,
Beware Advantages.

And on top of that, this season
is full of the unknown

because we don't know
what the fans voted for.

All right, let's get into

today's challenge.

Cirie, I've watched you

in situations like this
many times, where it looks like

we may just be here all day with
Cirie and then you pull it out.

What I also saw was, you might
be the reason your tribe lost.

That was a long time you took.

There's no getting around that, right?

That is absolutely true, Jeff.

Today wasn't my best day.

And I've been on Survivor a lot of days.

So, yeah, there's no place to hide.

But, Jeff, if I wanted to hide,
I would stay on my couch.

I got off the couch 20 years ago
because of the experience.

And that's why I'm here, because

I'm looking for the new experience

and how it's going
to make me better this time.

Savannah, how about for you?

What value do you put
on somebody's ability

in challenges?

That's not an easy question to answer

because it depends so much

on different relationships
that exist in the game.

If I look at someone who is not
very good at challenges,

but they're someone
who I can go to the end with,

then that might be different

than if that person is awful at challenges

and we have no working
relationship and I hate them.

- You know what I mean?
- Yeah.

So it depends on that person as a whole.

And so, Emily,
when you get back to camp today,

were you able to get a sense of
what the criteria is going to be

for how you're going
to make this decision?

Opposite.

- Really?
- You know, there isn't

an obvious, easy vote.

Everybody on this tribe has merits.

They also have faults.

So even the same person
who would say, "Hey,

we should vote out this person
because of this criteria"

could say,
"We should vote out this person"

because of
the complete opposite criteria.

And that makes
strategic decision-making

- virtually impossible.
- Hubicki,

what would be the best outcome
for this group

when you go back to camp tonight?

What should
the conversation center around?

I think this conversation should center

around the story we want to
tell ourselves moving forward.

'Cause I think
that Survivoris about stories

and sort of stories
within the stories, you know.

But as a tribe, there's just
some chemistry here.

I mean, no, it's possible

that Coach is really vibing
very well with everyone.

That is certainly possible.

But, I mean, I just feel like we got

to write the story where
we ascend back into dominance.

That we're not the disaster.

We're going to get back in the saddle

and show these other people
what we're made of.

All right, it is time to vote.

Jenna, you're up.

I am just seriously hoping

that I'm on the right side of the votes.

Cirie, you're wonderful.

I'm so sorry.

You decided to come for me
when I had zero intentions

of sending for you,

and I respectfully hope
it comes back to bite you.

I'll go tally the votes.

If anybody has an advantage or an idol,

and you want to play it,
now would be the time to do so.

All right, I'll read the votes.

First vote.

Cirie.

Jenna. One vote... Cirie,
one vote... Jenna.

Jenna. That's two votes... Jenna,
one vote... Cirie.

Jenna. That's three votes...
Jenna, one vote... Cirie.

Jenna. That's four votes...
Jenna, one vote... Cirie.

First person voted out
of Survivor 50... Jenna.

That's five. That's enough.
You need to bring me your torch.

First in, first out.

Jenna. No.

Standing.

Thanks, guys.

Jenna, the tribe has spoken.

Thanks, Jeff.

Good luck, guys.

- Thank you.
- Thank you, Jenna.

Grab your torches, head back to camp.

Good night.

Yes, this absolutely sucks.

First being voted out is always the worst.

Not that I've experienced that,
but it's got to be somebody.

I did come out and play my game.
I played aggressive.

But I think you also have
to play aggressively

with the right people.

So I'm hoping that they lose

every challenge now.

I woke up this morning,

and I've been seeing how I can move.

Things that I couldn't even
think about doing yesterday

after that, that, that injury, I'm doing.

I'm so glad you're doing better.

Yeah, I'm doing significantly better.

I think about the other players
on this island, some of which

I think I'm still better than physically

on one leg. Fortunately,
I don't think I'm on one leg.

I think I'm on a healing one.

So I'm going to play this game
hard, and I'm not giving up,

especially when I'm playing
the perfect game right now.

Looking at these holes and...

Not the bird holes
but, like, the tree holes.

I have been. Just from the...

Yeah, you're not going
to see it from the path.

Then you got to go up on it,

- and there's all those...
- It's so hard to find.

The fans voted on idols or no idols.

So we don't know
if there's going to be idols.

But at the same time, like,
I want to look for an idol.

Because who knows
what season 50 has in store?

In the Hands of the Fans.
Stay on your toes, literally.

Like, it's usually a package wrapped.

Package or a scroll.

It looks so easy on TV.

"It's right there." "my God. I found it."

It's like a needle in a haystack.

I mean, this is a huge jungle

and beach area.

It could be anywhere.

No, no. Stephenie,
get over here, Stephenie.

Stop. I literally never find anything.

- Act normal.
- Okay.

We've had our moment of excitement.

Of course, the moment
that I found it, Rizo walks up.

So Stephenie puts it in my backpack

for me very discreetly.

When you find something,

you want to be intentional about

how you message it out to people.

And Kyle is my guy.

He has been helping me so much.

I want to loop him in on this.

- Too risky or just do it?
- Do it. Do it.

It's perfect. I'll just whistle.

My gosh.

That's the first sentence.

"It's Billie Eilish."

This is the first letter

Billie Eilish has ever written me,

And I love it.

"First, I want to let you in on a secret.

"80% of the fans voted yes
to having idols.

"So I figured,
why not have one of my own?

"And you just found it.

"It's the Billie Eilish Boomerang Idol.

"It comes with a twist.

"You must send it to someone
on another tribe.

"But here's the fun part
that only you will know.

"If they're voted out while still holding it,

"it boomerangs back to you.

"So, do you send it to someone you trust,

"hoping you can work together later?

"Or do you send it to someone
you want to sabotage,

"hoping they are voted out and
the idol circles back to you?

Good luck. I'll be watching. Billie."

Yeah. You should show Colby.

This is amazing.

It's a twist that can change the game

because from a strategic perspective,

who you want to send it to depends on

how you want this boomerang
to play out.

Is it meant to be a bridge with someone,

or are you hoping

they're blindsided with an idol
in their pocket?

Okay.

Wow. I am totally shocked.

But it's really cool that
Billie Eilish is a part of this.

She must be a bigSurvivor fan.

But now we have to figure out
what to do with the idol

because there's multiple ways
we can kind of use it.

I want it to come back to me.

- So who's most likely to get voted out?
- Yeah.

Like an Ozzy or something.

But I think
Jonathan's actually a good idea.

So, like, I don't think he's in any risk.

- That's true.
- What about Devens?

No.

Or...

I don't know anything about her.

I'm torn on who I want to send it to.

Who should this go to?

What about Jonathan?

What about Rick Devens?

What about Tiffany?

Who's going to be

blindsided with an idol
in their pocket in Survivor 50?

The safest bet is Ozzy,
because he's done it before.

This is the perfect time to get
rid of Ozzy and that idol.

Tenth person voted out of
Survivor: Fans vs. Favorites

and the second member
of our jury... Ozzy.

The beneficiary of
my Billie Eilish Boomerang Idol

is going to be Ozzy.

And if he catches votes

and he doesn't play my boomerang,

my boomerang boomerangs
and I get it back.

Something big here.

So it might be yuca.

- Boom. Yes, it is.
- Whoa! - Dude,

- that's crazy.
- Dude!

- Wow.
- We are eating good.

Ozzy is playing

a very old-school game,

thinking that "if I'm the provider,

I'm indispensable."

- It's so delicious right now.
- That is fire.

It's incredible how much he's provided,

but you're dispensable, bro.

Like, this is

the new era game.

You don't fit in my plans, so long

and thanks for all the fish.

All right, I'm going
to walk over to the well

and try and look for some papayas.

So I'm looking through
my bag, and I notice something

that is obviously
not supposed to be there.

And I know I need
to go and check out what

on earth this could possibly be.

What is this?

"Congratulations.

"Someone wanted you to have this idol.

"It comes with two rules.

"You cannot give it to anyone else.

"You can only play it for yourself.

"The last time this can be used

is when there are five players
left in the game."

I have an extra vote, and then

somebody gifted me an idol.

Having two advantages
is the most massive

amount of power that I've ever had

playingSurvivor.

And now I just got to keep the old brain

on target and not do anything stupid.

This robe is awesome.

- This is so iconic.
- So, like, if you had...

You look like dojo master.

Dude, this is awesome, man.

It's like, what is in the front?

Is that somebody whistling,
or is that a bird?

Is it a boat?

My God.

The boat pulls up.

If we assume it's the same from the 40s,

someone's going to hop on this boat

and they risk their vote
for some type of advantage.

"One person must get on this boat.

If you participated in Fight
for Supplies, it cannot be you."

Sorry, Coach.

I'm ready to go on a journey.

I've never been on a journey.

There were no journeys my season.

Let's go on a journey.

Go.

It's definitely a big risk, but

I'm here to have fun,
I'm here to play the game.

Okay, we have a number.

- 35.
- 23.

16.

- Me? What was it? - 18.
- 18.

All right.

Hey, do we want to vote,
or do we want to...?

I'll-I'll go. I'll go.

Q, why are you trying to
get me off this beach so fast?

That's what I want to know.

You're like, "Get in that boat!"

Not a lot of detail in this note.

No one wanted to go.

So I decided to fall on the sword.

But I wasn't real excited
about it, because

I don't have the mental capacity, right,

to keep up with everything

that's in play with the new era.

Have fun.

But at the end of the day,

I like the idea of getting on a
boat and going to a competition.

I am here to have fun.

Yeah!

I'm in the middle of the ocean.

Two boats pull up to me,
and it's Savannah and Colby.

And we all pull in in unison.

It just felt like I was, like,
in an action movie. It was cool.

- It's such a beautiful day.
- Good to see you.

- I'm Savannah...
- Nice to meet you, Savannah. Mike.

- Mike. Colby Donaldson.
- Colby, awesome, right.

Good to see you.

So I'm excited to get this opportunity.

But first there was

a little gossip session.

Yeah. Yeah.

- What did you hear?
- What we heard...

Ozzy threw out there. What do we say?

The next guy to grab the key,

the other guys don't knock it off his thing.

And what does Coach do?
Rob it from him.

I find out that Coach is not exactly

playingSurvivor with honor and integrity.

But I don't care.
I mean, personally, I was like,

"Thank you, Coach."

I mean, it didn't bother me at all.

"Survivoris about risk,
and today is no exception.

"Three came, but only two can play.

Decide who plays or draw rocks."

Wow.

Only two of us get to play.

And I think all of us
are very eager to do this.

We didn't just come out to the beach

to go all the way back home.

Ready?

Man, I'm bummed, I don't get to play.

- Aw.
- Well.

You guys, good luck, man. I hope...

Colby and I got the lucky rocks.

And immediately I'm like,

"Dang, dude, I wish this was Mike,"

because I don't know if I can beat Colby.

But at the same time,
like, I am one of the fiercest,

most challenge-winning females

inSurvivor history.

"One player at a time,
you will place a piece

"on top of the structure.

"Players will continue to place pieces,

making the tower higher and
higher until the tower falls."

"If the tower falls
during your turn, you lose.

"The stakes are simple.

"You either keep your vote

or lose your vote
at the next Tribal Council."

Damn. There's not even a reward
or advantage

out of this.

This game that we're playing is all based

on the winner keeping their vote

and the loser losing their vote
at the next Tribal Council.

And that is really scary.

Hopefully, I can out-stack Colby

and pull this thing off.

Good luck.

All right.

Very nice.

What are we going to do over there?

It's about to get precarious.

Come on.

That was...

That was close.

- Nice save.
- I'm very nervous.

This is a stacking challenge, and

I'm a whole foot shorter than Colby.

So my strategy here is to try
to make this structure

as wide as possible

so it doesn't get higher.

But Colby kind of

figures out that strategy.

And he pretty quickly just starts

to go higher and higher and higher.

Damn.

And so I'm worried he's just
going to make this structure

super tall

so I can't even reach

and he would
automatically win by default.

This is not feeling good, Savannah.

It's okay. You got this.

You got it.

Dude, good job.

- Seriously.
- Nice work.

- Congratulations.
- Thanks.

I lost my vote.

But the positive takeaway for me

in that situation with Savannah
is that I did leave

with the feeling that she might
be somebody I could play with.

I grew up watching you.

You have brought so much joy, like,

not only to me but, like, my family.-

I'm serious.

Really, it means a lot. I've-I've...

This game has done a lot for me.

I'm happy to keep my vote,

but I'm more excited to just beat Colby.

I seriously looked up to Colby

for so much as a kid, and, like,

now not only am I playing
with my heroes

but I kicked his butt.

Is this for me?

Wow.

Shoot.

"Shh.

"You risked,
and now you will be rewarded.

"This season, fans voted for how
powerful advantages should be...

"minimal, strategic or dynamic...

"and they chose dynamic.

The boldest option meant
to shake up the game."

My God.

"And right now only you know that.

"That's not all.

"You also earned one
of those dynamic advantages

"in the form of a secret Block a Vote.

You can thank the fans. Good luck."

Fans, I freaking love you! Let's go!

I've earned a secret Block a Vote.

This is gold because Colby has no idea

that I have any sort of advantage,

let alone a Block a Vote.

If I can hold on to this thing

until I actually need it
without anyone knowing about it,

sounds pretty good to me.

Coach, both guys reported back

that you...

Like, something about the way
you won pissed off Ozzy,

and that Colby spoke about it
in some kind of...

in some... negative light.

What, they're trying to say
he cheated or something?

That it's... it was what you told us,

that they'd made an agreement
or something and that they...

When I told Coach about
what happened at the journey,

he seemed a little, like, freaked out.

He was kind of like
non compos mentis for a moment.

Like, he was just a little, like...

His eyes were rolling around
in his head, and he was like...

- Thank you. Thank you.
- Yeah.

I feel like, you know, I needed

to tell him, but he,

he took it harder than I thought.

For the record,

Ozzy said to Q, "Q, if you get it,

I promise I won't snake it from you."

And I just kept my mouth shut.
I didn't say boo diddly.

To hear Ozzy throw me
under the bus like that,

against my honor, it really bothered me.

It took me all the way back

to Final Tribal Council in South Pacific

when Ozzy politicked to the jury

that I wouldn't get the million dollars.

I felt like, you know, here we go again.

He can freaking eat my shorts.
You want beef, pal?

You want beef? I'll give you
some friggin' beef.

People have different currency
coming into this game. I have

the currency of being a man of my word.

So my fear is that my currency
has been devalued

and people are going to think

that I'm playing a dishonest game.

Welcome to Survivor 50, baby.

There's always going
to be stumbling blocks.

How you handle those challenges

is going to really determine
your longevity in the game.

Martin Luther King said,
"The greatest measure of a man

"is not how he stands in times of comfort

but how he rises up in times
of controversy and change."

And so,

this setback actually fueled me

and reminded me that this game
is going to be a battle.

It's season 50,
and everybody's going to take

the gloves off and go for it.

Let's go ahead and cut to the end.

There wasn't much up for grabs.

It was either
winner gets to keep their vote

at the next Tribal Council,
loser loses their vote.

We'd hoped there would be
an advantage or something there.

So then we played the game,
and she won,

so I lost my vote.

And, look...

- No, she just kept it.
- She just kept hers.

That's crazy.

Yeah, so it just... It stinks.

- This is bad.
- Within this core five,

we're down two votes.

When you don't have a vote,

you're worthless in the decision-making,

in who goes home,
but also you're an easy target.

It's gonna be trouble in paradise.

This structure is
already, like, starting to sway.

So Colby grabs a block,

gets, like, right up there, and it falls.

I kept my vote. I kept my vote.

So, coming back to camp,

I do want to be honest.

I want to tell them that,
yeah, I kept my vote

and Colby lost his vote.

But I'm not going to tell them

about my secret Block a Vote 'cause

I don't trust any of these people,

and I know the minute I tell one person,

everybody's gonna find out about it.

- So, yeah, Colby has lost his vote.
- And you didn't get anything?

I didn't get anything.

There are so many people here

who are so good at reading
people that I could be, like,

the best liar in the world

and they would still suss me out, so

I'm not sure if my tribe bought it.

Yeah.

I think that she absolutely
has an advantage.

Come on, man.

Savannah tells us, "No advantage, guys.

I won keeping my vote."

Like, like,

I'm sorry, I don't believe that.

Agree with you, we should be concerned.

My gut reaction, like the second
she said it, I was like, "Pfft."

Savannah's super savvy, clearly.

She's such a player in this game.

So Savannah's becoming a bigger
and bigger target now because

she can't hide what a good player she is.

And now she's gone on this journey

and might have come home
with an advantage.

You know blackjack?

Do you go against the book
when you're at third base?

- What?
- What's that mean?

- Do you hit 16?
- I do.

- It depends on what the dealer shows.
- Wait.

He's throwing a ten. Do you hit 16?

- Yes. - Yes.
- Okay.

Y'all want to hear the logic
why you don't hit 16?

There's one card

in the deck, if you hit 16,
that makes you win.

Every other card, you lose or you push.

But it's a team sport.

- Any other card, if he has...
- It's a team sport.

You follow the probability,

- you take the card...
- A team?!

The only damn team in the casino is me!

- I would not want to play with you.
- My money.

I can't play with you if you hit 16.

We're not playing blackjack.

What? Bro.

- How we doing? - Yeah...
- I'll get out of here.

Yeah.

- Okay.
- We'll just give him a little check.

Give him some privacy.

When Jeff comes to camp,

it's usually not good.

And Jeff says to us, "Can
you guys give us some privacy?

Go sit down on the beach."

And I'm thinking to myself, that's odd.

I don't know why they need privacy

unless they need
to do, like, another evaluation.

So now I'm nervous.

Let's recap.

Joe, at the challenge,

you weren't as concerned

at that point
because you're not sure, right?

Yeah, it's often difficult to tell

immediately after an injury.

It needs a little bit of time to settle down,

and it gives you a bit more information.

Now that the immediate pain has settled,

Kyle's able to localize where the pain is

a bit better, aren't you? And you're saying

it's not really the ankle joint,
but it's behind the leg.

- Yes.
- Where the Achilles tendon is.

Yes. And the Achilles...
that's what attaches the calf

to the heel?

Yes, it's the biggest tendon in the body,

and it takes a lot of force

when you sprint or when you jump
like you did in the challenge.

You can't walk
without an Achilles tendon.

- Exactly.
- Okay.

So what is the test you want to do today

to help determine even more
of what's happening?

One of the things
we can do is have a look

at the Achilles tendon
with an ultrasound machine

to see if that gives us
any more information, and we can

do that here on the beach.
Now, if we can

have you lay on your front
facing that way,

and we'll have a quick look.

So we've got the muscles
of your calf here,

and they come down to the tendon,

to your Achilles tendon here,
and this is where you're tender.

Is that all right if I squeeze just there?

- Yeah, it's not that bad right now, actually.
- Okay.

That's not me lying, I'm telling the truth.

- I believe you.
- We'll have a quick...

a quick look if I hold it up that way.

What we're looking for is any dark areas

that might indicate damage
to the tendon,

which indicates blood
or swelling within the tendon.

Now, it can be difficult
to tell with the ultrasound.

- Sometimes you can't get a true picture.
- Okay.

But there are some other tests
we can do as well.

Okay. All right, you good with that, Kyle?

- Yeah, whatever you guys say.
- Okay. - Okay.

My hope is that they're just like,

"You can stay, but, like, you have to...

"Like, you have a risk, if staying,

of, like, hurting it more,"
or something like that.

And let him choose rather
than them choose for him.

- That's what I was hoping.
- Whether they're

your, like, ally or enemy, it's
just not a fair way. Like...

It's not.

He's too good of a dude.

What we're looking for, Jeff,

is when we squeeze
a normal calf muscle,

it tightens up the Achilles tendon...

- Right.
- If you just relax your leg, Kyle.

You can see as you squeeze the
Achilles, the toes point down.

That tells me
this Achilles tendon is intact,

and the muscles are connected,
and it's all working.

- Okay.
- So if we try it on Kyle's bad leg now,

just keep an eye on the toes here.

- Yeah.
- There's a tiny flicker.

- Yeah.
- But you can see the difference.

Yeah, yeah.

All right, walk me through

where we're at
and what you think is happening.

That test tells me
that it's likely that there is

severe damage to your Achilles tendon,

and it may be completely ruptured.

You may have completely
snapped your Achilles tendon.

Often it will need an operation.

Sometimes it can be treated
without an operation.

It will need a minimum of three
months physiotherapy either way.

Can...? Like, what is the harm, I guess,

in allowing me to stay where...?

I-I can speak to that.

We do have a duty of care out here.

And it's not always just a question

of if it's life-threatening.

Risk of real damage is real.

- Because I...
- We're barely into this game.

Is that what it is? That this...

If this doesn't get treated
immediately, then I'm done for?

Your Achilles tendon...

the tendon ends need
to be together to heal.

And you need to be wearing
a special boot for that.

And without that,
you do risk long-term damage,

which-which could be permanent.

I mean, look,
we're in the middle of a jungle.

- Yeah.
- If we let you stay out here

and then something worse happened,

and now you've got a limp

or a hobble the rest
of your life, it's not worth it.

Yeah, I understand.

Man, I'm sorry, Kyle.

It breaks my heart for you.

It really does. The last 36 hours,

everybody's been worried about you

and hoping that it wouldn't come to this.

All right, let me go get the
rest of your tribe, all right?

Okay.

When things take too long,

it's generally not a good sign.

I have a horrible feeling
in the pit of my stomach.

I know that there's some news
to be delivered.

It just feels really unfair.

We've all worked so hard to get here.

All right, Kyle, you want to share?

Yeah. Dr. Joe,

he did a specific test to Achilles tendons,

and he's pretty much concluded
that it's probably ruptured.

And,

living out here and... and not
putting enough, care into it

right now could be irreparable
moving forward.

So I, I'm getting pulled.

My God.

Like, listen, I... I get it.

You know, I-I just got married.

You know, I got so many things
going for me.

I wouldn't trade these moments

with you guys for anything, though.

I thought... I didn't think

that I could have
a better experience than...

Come on. Don't make me cry.

I did not think
I could have a better experience

than what I had last time,
but meeting you guys

and hanging out with you

and making new friends
and seeing you guys has...

has really meant a lot to me.

Even... it was before this happened

and after this happened.

You guys mean the world to me.

The fact that you were even
willing to let me

hop around here like an idiot.

I care a lot about you guys
and thank you.

Angelina, what Kyle was just expressing

is something that's hard to convey,

but you see it in moments like this when

you're just a group of people
trying to make it out here.

When you're out here,

and you're stripped of everything,

you form bonds on a hyper speed.

And Kyle's the heart of this camp.

And it's a loss to us,
it's a loss to the season,

that he didn't get to play more.

It's just... I'm really sorry.

I'm really, really sorry.

Thank you.

Kyle, I know a lot of people

are going to be disappointed
and heartbroken.

And this is Survivor.

The thing that makes
Survivorunique are the stakes.

Whether it's a vote at Tribal Council

or whether it's the risk of getting hurt,

that's what makes Survivor Survivor.

But the result is, we've got
to pull you from the game.

Your dream on 50 comes
to an end way too short.

And for no reason other

than giving 100% effort for your group.

Do you have anything you want to say

before we get you off
and get you looked at?

I just hope that one of you guys
take this freakin' thing, man.

I really do. Love you guys.

Can I have hugs?

Yeah.

Kyle going home is...

like, such a gut punch.

There's differences
between working relationships

and personal relationships,

and Kyle was both.

And I'm not very quick to make
personal connections out here,

so it hits extra hard because

it's so much more
than losing an ally for me.

Kyle was a big part of my plans.

So now I have to revamp.
I have to start over.

With Kyle leaving,
it shows that in season 50,

In the Hands of the Fans, just
like the theme of the season,

you never know what's going to happen.

And now my head is turning.

'Cause Kyle said
he wants one of us to win.

And I want to honor that.

Ozzy, this is the same old Coach
that you've always seen.

Next time onSurvivor...

You're not going to want to see this.

My wife is going to divorce me.

Wow!

Coach, are you okay?

This could go sideways.
We could get sniped.

I'm so grateful for this experience.

Even though I got injured,

I wouldn't trade this for the world.

I gave it my all from a social perspective.

I played hard.
I schemed behind their back

to the best of my ability.

But I think that I was
in a pretty good spot.

I think that this game is just
representative

of everything that I've wanted in life.

So this experience, even though

it's not as long as I wanted it to be,

it means the world to me.
