Previously on Survivor, four days without fire or water took its toll.

Dehydration may be our biggest concern.

A mystery box with three locks was discovered at Tree Mail.

Uh, we see a big crate. We have no idea what's inside.

It looks like something substantial, whatever it is.

At the reward challenge, Ethan led Saboga to a comeback.

Saboga wins the reward!

The reward was a choice between blankets or flint to make fire and a clue to the

first key of their lockbox, which they learned contained rice.

There's a rub. If you choose the flint, Mogamogo gets it, as well as Shapiro.

Saboga chose the flint and gave all three tribes fire.

Fire!

At Suboga, my foot sort of makes me limp a little. Rudy's not doing okay. His

feet, we did something to the bone inside.

At the immunity challenge, Suboga faced another setback. Suboga still bailing

water. When they finished a distant third. For the second straight time,

going to tribal council.

Rudy's injury and Ethan's status as a previous winner put both of them on the

chopping block.

But when the votes came in, it was Rudy who took the fall. Rudy, the tribe has

spoken.

16 are left. Who will be voted out tonight?

Bug bites are bad, and my problem is that I couldn't resist the urge to

them. It was more than I could bear, and now I'm definitely paying for it

because I think that they get way, way worse when you scratch them. They raise

up, and they become kind of like little open sores, open wounds.

And then the salt water gets into them, and it just feels like fire. It's

horrible.

I'm not scratching, I'm just rubbing.

Ugh. This is bad.

I mean, look, they're like bug bites on top of bug bites on top of... We look

like freaks.

Bigger freaks than we already are.

Oh, you cannot be itching yourself, girl. We talked about that. I couldn't

myself. You just have to, like, endure about half an hour of... Itchiness?

Itchiness, and then it won't itch anymore. Yeah, this is, like, the

thing I've ever done to not itch right now. Your arms are messed up now.

I hate everything right now. Not you guys, but I want to go home.

Jenna's hurting.

Jenna wants to go home.

First of all, Jenna's not eating. I don't know what that's all about.

You know, I think that first four days where he had no water and no food really

put her body into a tailspin where she's feeling it today.

And now she's not even drinking enough. I have to push her to drink. She won't

go in the water to cool her body down.

She's just not taking direction. She's kind of a wandering zombie.

It seems to be tough for her this time around.

Yeah, it's tough.

Especially mentally.

I don't think she's happy.

She's really not. She's really not happy.

We're going to dig some holes and bury these like this.

We're going to set that on top.

I don't know exactly what has got into the tribe. This morning, they want to do

stuff. It's a little bit of missing Rudy, a little bit of guilt, a little of

everything. There's a lot of nervous energy.

It's getting everybody going.

Without being overconfident or cocky, I'm feeling really good about where

at.

Yay! How cute.

The four of us left in this tribe.

We're family, and we work really well together.

Oh, another little one. Little guy.

Better than eating them damn snails.

Where'd you find that guy?

Right there. He was right there.

All right.

Try this. Oh.

As soon as I brought the fish back, he was grabbing a spear and running out

there.

I tried to tell him it's not a competition.

It's really not.

I hope he catches something. That would be good for his ego.

I mean, those figure fish swim into a nut. You just got to jab them.

You jab them.

But he can do it.

We'll get better.

I like being the fisherman.

I know he wants to be too, but it can't be a competition between he and I.

It will just hurt his emotions.

It will hurt the whole camp.

That's what beat us at the challenge yesterday. We weren't working together.

If we can keep this harmony up, we will be a strong little tribe.

Even though we're little, we are going to be mighty.

It was low tide early enough in the morning, and I figured, here's my shot.

going to go get something for breakfast. I really want to get one of these rays.

There are some enormous stingrays out there.

And I saw a couple, but I couldn't get to them in time. I have no fins, and

very, very difficult.

Never mind a spear that's as blunt as you can imagine.

But I was determined to get some good food and roast.

You bring in a fish, you get some smiles.

Eventually found a shark under a ledge and, oh, I wanted him. So I said,

screw it.

Let the spirits float.

Look at it.

Gauge the situation.

Just kept thinking, how am I going to do this? How am I going to do this?

Screw it.

I'm not leaving the thing there. I'm going home with food.

He starts thrashing right up against the rock. As long as he was trying to stay

lodged in there and I didn't move my hand but wouldn't let him go, I felt

I kept breathing, going up, breathing, holding on, breathing, trying to get

enough energy to think what I'm going to do. So I grabbed my spear and figured

I'd try to get through his belly.

I let the head part go for a second.

Shark bite!

And I poke him in the eye. He takes another chunk deeper. There was no way.

was not letting go. He was never letting go.

I spent the next, I don't know, half hour like that trying to figure out what

I going to do to get this thing off. So I swim. No fins, nothing. Just kind of

backwards swimming as close as I can to shore to get onto a rock. Get onto a

rock and pound the side of his head with a rock.

Until he lets go.

Oh, my God.

Right there.

He's got me. Pull it.

I let go a little bit. He goes, boom, for the second bite. Bites in further

harder. So what do I do? I bite him.

Oh, my God.

Can you see the bite mark?

Is it possible to call a gay man a stud?

Yeah. I think you're a stud. Hell, if you're going to stay on my arm, it's

this.

No way anybody else is catching fish like that. Richard Hatch is a fishing

He bit a shark that bit him. I mean, it's just so, it's like man versus

It's so Hemingway -esque. I love it. He's impressive.

He's very impressive.

I mean, he may not be impressive downstairs, but he's very impressive in

ways.

You know, you're at the point without food for whatever it's been seven days.

People are ready to eat.

I need to be the provider. They are just loving me right now, and it's good.

He bit me.

I ate him.

Oh, mama mia, we are having a summer good.

I've reached my daily limit of giving thanks to Richard Hatch. And they go on

and on and on. Thanks, Richard. Thanks, Richard. Thanks, Richard.

Yeah, baby. Bye -bye. Each of you soon.

Want

to

go check the email?

Okay.

Home Depot box.

Okay, ready?

Drum roll.

Oh, my God!

Holy shit!

Okay,

hold on, hold on.

Dream it, design it, do it.

Remodel your home in just one day. How perfect.

Basically, it's a contest to see who can build the best home for themselves in a

24 -hour period.

Make it bigger.

Stronger, better.

Creativity and structure come in play. These tools should come in handy. Use

driftwood, palm or kelp. Only four tribe mates can participate.

You can do it. We can help.

Tomorrow you will be judged by a professional to keep it fair from bush

A much better night's sleep for the winners will be dropped down from the

Mattresses, mosquito nets.

Ours is going to be a disaster, I can tell you that right now.

Now, see, there we go.

We've got a good rip. You know what we need? Take that tree out in the middle.

No, the tree comes out in the middle. Why? Why? I'm taking it out.

After we fight, you will.

Sue, she's a hag from hell.

Where do I have a beam? In the middle of my house. You've got it. You've got it

in every corner. Yeah, connect it to a wall.

How I made the .48 without Sue's help leading me by the hand is a mystery.

You do your high five, I'll do my high five. The tree's coming down, Tom.

You can do it, Sam. I will.

I'll set out if y 'all want me to. No.

She's the bossiest woman I've ever been around.

There ain't no doubt in my mind her elevator don't go to the top floor.

Why you act fast now?

What?

First place, reward, and key clue number two.

Second place, only key clue number two. Only four people are allowed to work on

this, though. This is what I do. Yeah, this is what you do. We need you to. You

have to do that. Yeah, this is your job.

I'm going to sit up.

Actually, it's not hard for me to sit on the sideline and bite my tongue because

just in my head I just keep repeating, these are really stupid people I'm with.

They are. They're so stupid.

I hope they don't get jacked off of this challenge just to bring them down a

notch. Who else is sitting up? I'll sit up.

Amber's sitting up. Okay.

You guys trust me enough to give you guys a plan, and we go by it, and just

it. This is all about you. I'm in construction. I love to build things. If

have tools, I'll ride up and at it. And I was pumped. I was like, yeah, this is

for me. This is my challenge.

We'll win.

How high do you want the floor up?

A foot.

To be honest with you, I was so into what we were doing, we had a basic floor

plan, and then got going, it clicked.

And we never slowed down.

We've got to get a creative aspect to this. If you guys want to try to make a

deck here, or something, a flower garden.

When I signed up to take part in the reward challenge, I thought that I'd

being a big help to Boston Rob and Big Tom.

But the guys delegated me to go work with Alicia.

I didn't even try to get in there on that one.

I knew that was going to happen. That's the story of my survivor life, that the

big boys don't let me play.

We got five foot and three quarter.

So that got to come out easy.

That's square right there.

In the beginning, the flirting with Boston Rob was complete strategy for me.

And on the other end, I thought it was a complete strategy for him, too.

And I'll admit, when I saw him building that shelter, he was pretty hot building

that shelter.

He's good at doing what he does. It's getting much easier and easier to flirt

with Boston Rob, for sure.

Alicia thinks she's this architect for some zen company or something.

Her vision is about as deep as...

Yeah, that's about how deep it is.

Where's Sestranino?

You know what? He's strolling. I don't know.

Sestranino, I think, is useless all around.

Seems like he's on a never -ending coffee break.

Where have you been? I went to go grab something, but it was too heavy to get

all the way back.

Yeah, and I got lost in the jungle.

Sorry, I didn't mean to disappear like that.

It gets frustrating because Rob Sestranino does the minimal to get by.

And you know what?

Everybody noticed it. You want to go get more rocks, or you want to hammer it?

You want to get more rocks. Okay.

That heat is excruciating, and I've been making, like, 20 trips to get those

rocks here. So have at it, sweetie pie.

I wonder what they're planning on making. I

can't get a gist of it from looking.

It's long. That's all I hear.

I'm a rehabber by trade, and that's what I do is work on houses.

So I told my tribe we're building a log cabin.

We're going to dig down into the sand a couple feet to add to our height so you

walk into it and you'll be able to stand up.

That's what I want.

Personally, I don't feel digging into the ground is a good idea.

Okay. So you want to build the thing all out of the ground? We need...

Yeah, I think it makes more sense because if we get it moist, kind of

underground, we're totally... Do we want to be an eye -catcher, a pop -em, oh my

God, or do we want to be like everybody else?

What I want is a place I can actually sleep in. Sounds to me like you're

concerned about something standing out, and I love that, but... None of them are

going to make a structure as creative as ours. They're going to make huts. I

hear you. We're going to make a log cabin.

Rupert's a complete control freak. He has to have everything his way, and he

thinks he's the only one who can do it right.

But you know what? All we need is rain rushing down the side of that hill right

into our shelter, and we're screwed.

The other thing is, it's going to take longer to dig three feet in the ground.

How do you have any idea? I know what I can do. I'm 40 years old. I've done

my... for years.

I've built houses for 20 years. I hear you. Can we vote on it? Does anyone else

have any concerns?

Okay. All right. Then we should... Then let's do it.

Let's just do it.

Let's just do it.

Jerry and Rupert got in a fight.

Perfect. Just what I wanted.

She had very valid points.

You know, I don't want to dig down three feet and live under the ground, but I'm

not going to say that. If you piss someone off, you know, you'll be going

We're going to make the most amazing tree house you've ever seen.

That's right.

As far as the floor plan and building scheme, we've got it up

here.

It's all about location, location, location.

So basically, we're doing an elevated floor plan, probably have a little

out front, a kitchen area over on the left. A nap area down below.

And perhaps a little crow's nest up top to kind of go up there and think and zen

out. Crow's nest, as we like to refer to it.

The love nest.

The love nest, indeed. And when you've got Richard Hatch on your team, there's

lots of love.

Too much love. Yeah. Rock garden. Swing. What else is in a regular house?

TV.

We're not making a TV.

There are six members of our tribe because we've never lost anything yet.

had to sit out two people.

And I happily sat out of that one because that's a lot of work.

So we've got Lex and Colby building the shelter, and Sheehan and Jenna are

helping build the shelter.

We've been writing some creative things, but we thought we'd just join you. This

is all non -structural stuff that I thought would be fun to add.

Rope ladder, a hammock, to chisel our names or the Mogo Mogo icon in through

A dumbwaiter, if we do a bi -level, we could have like a pulley.

um some sort of door or a rock garden um a coconut phone that would go from the

top floor to down downstairs phone this is all stuff that we have in like palm

beds let's see i mean that's not all of the all those touches yeah that's fine

that's all most important thing is the structure itself

it was as if when we

spoke they couldn't hear it they had like their transmitters tuned to each

only. We have to build this thing extra tough just because we've got a 250

-pound shark -catching gay fisherman. Shark wrangler.

That's right.

There's a lot of other factors that come into my game that may not come into

anybody else's game.

I mean, people have family that they know when this is over that they're

to be there. You know, that's not a question mark for me.

I have a lot to lose being here, like my mom.

That's a constant issue with me. I'm wondering if I should have left again.

We need to make rope.

Yeah, I'll get to that. I'm busy right now lashing this thing down. I'm all

busy. She's had cancer for a long time, and she's not better.

And I'm just afraid that she might pass away while I'm here.

I can't tell if I like the front or the back better. That's curb appeal, babe.

Yeah.

Oh, my God. Yeah, this is getting dangerous.

Can't see anymore.

Rupert's idea was a little ambitious.

We ended up working all through the night. We were trying to nail nails in a

pitch black.

And then in the middle of the night, Rupert had dug half the trench, and I

this giant tree trunk down there.

And you can't chop it out.

My God, I could not believe.

The stupidity. We played strong, but we played stupid.

And that is what infuriates me.

Not good.

I don't think they're going to disqualify us. If you just want to be

stop and be done, and let me do.

I have a hard time standing back and listening to a bunch of people say, it's

too much work, it can't get done.

Everybody can't do it. Everybody.

Everybody. All three of them. What are we going to do for bed?

They're going to want to see something. Of course. We'll make beds in here. Of

course. We'll take it as a bed.

We've crumbled.

In a single day, we went from a happy group of four working together to three

people not knowing what the hell's going on and one going completely mad.

This is Rupert gone mad.

Looks good, you guys.

Yeah, put the welcome mat out.

What's going on, Mogo Mogo?

Hello. How about that curb appeal?

It's nice, although this is the guy you want to impress.

Hi. Brought along with me, Rafa, licensed contractor, expert in

right here from Panama.

He's going to visit each camp, and he will decide who has the best shelter.

So, take a look.

Kitchen area.

Where we like to hang out, have our fireside chat.

There's an outdoor balcony up up there.

This is our balcony. That's the balcony.

You have an ocean view.

Rafa, he starts going around the shelter, and the first thing he does is

grabbing onto things and jerking them to rip them down.

I don't know that Rafa realized we've got to live in this shelter.

Yeah, we know

Richard

Hatch can now lay on it and walk on it.

Sure enough, he got his level out and he actually gave me one of those.

And that's a compliment coming from Rafa.

I think you like it.

I think you love it. Yes, love.

Thank you. Thank you.

No bribe. He's half bribery.

What's going on, Shapira?

I'm breaking out.

Wow. Get my remote, Jeff, and let's watch out.

I brought along Rafa.

Take a tour.

Okay.

Okay, I want to show you something.

These are all undermined doggies. And square.

You're not moving this. These are three -fifths of ground, and all this is

square.

Forte?

Storm. It's storm. Time to hop up on the swing. Come on, buddy.

It's not going anywhere.

Want a swing?

Thank you.

That's okay. All right.

We will try to sway you. Get all these rocks, just like Zen.

Checkerboard. I like it. You ready? Ready enough? Good? Anything else? Yeah,

problem. Cool.

Thanks, guys. Thank you. All right. Thank you. Thank you, Ryan.

Welcome to Chez Taboga.

The first thing you see is our gutter system where our rain collects.

So all our bamboo that turns up gives us water down into our pan.

Right? For the water?

Yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Okay.

As you come in, we have a little table.

Two beds made.

All logs steady and sturdy.

He walked around, and everything that was loose, he touched.

And I saw it in his face when we walked down into the hut. He didn't like down.

Little footrest log.

I couldn't get it out of the sand, so it stays.

Just climb on this sucker.

Dirty.

We want water to be able to hit our bamboo, so there is space in between the

bamboo to funnel down, so our water can get to our water.

I'm trying like crazy to talk to him.

He doesn't really have anything to do with us. And he's ready to go. If you

receive a gift from the sky and a clue to your right from your tree mail, it

means that Rafa thought you had the best shelter.

If you receive only a clue in your tree mail, it means you thought you had the

second best shelter.

If you don't hear from us at all...

I hope it keeps you dry.

Thank you. Thanks, Kim.

Thanks for coming.

No, no,

no. You would not want to live here. Oh, no.

No.

You're shaking your head no.

It's very, very dangerous.

It's dangerous? Yes, it's the water.

And then I see him tell Jeff, water go

down in.

I don't think he likes it. No, he doesn't.

Our work is done.

Thank you. Let's get out of here. Okay.

Rafa's made his decision. Make the drop of the housewarming gift at... You're

the winner.

Oh, God, drop something. Oh, God, drop something.

Come on, circle back.

All right, tomorrow's what really matters. Sorry, guys.

The

plane!

It's the plane!

Oh, God!

He's coming. No way. Yeah, it's ours. It's ours. It's ours. Look.

Dump it.

Right here in Casbah.

Right there.

Right there.

Come on now. Come on. Drop it.

Dump it. Dump it.

You're going to dump. No way. Yeah, it's ours. It's ours. It's ours. Look.

He's not over our beach, you guys. Yes, he is. Yes, he is over our beach. Yes,

he is. I think we got it. No, we don't. Yes, we do. No, there's no way.

Come on.

Oh, come on now.

Is it ours or is it theirs?

It's theirs.

That's terrible.

That's such a bummer.

It better be a damn mansion.

It better have three stories.

We've never been so excited in our lives. That was just a pinnacle moment

since we've been here. It was the happiest moment ever, ever.

Let's go.

You guys, we won first place.

Woo!

All right. Get it up.

We wouldn't lose. We haven't lost a thing yet.

My arm's up, so I'm assuming.

Good mail.

Yeah, baby.

That'd be a clue.

I'm not waiting to open it.

Oh, it's a map.

And it's clue two.

Yeah, baby.

Clue two for right. That's so much more important than anything else.

Drunk on day eight.

I got my chest all burning.

Everything is all happening. Burning.

This is awesome.

Can't have two anymore.

Ruffalo never had so much fun going for a little ride on the swing. There was a

swing.

Two. Hey, man, I don't drink. She doesn't drink.

Not at all.

That's too bad.

That's going to be the best thing I've heard from Sue.

Have you felt these pills are a little rough? I'm getting drunker and drunker.

Give me a kiss.

The wine hit Amber a little bit strong. She wanted to start kissing me in front

of everybody.

If you're going to kiss me, kiss me now because I'm not kissing you with nasty

breath later on. Now you got wine breath.

Whoa. Here's the thing.

Amber and I have been flirting with each other since we got out here. We have an

alliance together.

She probably thinks she's playing me. I probably think I'm playing her. Who

knows how it's going to turn out.

One thing's for sure, though.

There'll only be one winner in this game.

Last night was an absolute nightmare.

Just the queen mother of all storms rolled through.

Our shelter was not really quite prepared for that kind of storm, and I

imagine that any shelter would be.

All of us kind of dressed in all of what we've got, which for most of us is just

a pair of shorts and a T -shirt or a tank top. We were just... I've never

so cold in my life.

I'd get in the shelter.

You're in the rain.

So if I were you, I would sit up there, and I'm going to hand you this.

Unless you want to stay out here in the rain, what do you want to do?

Well, I just want to let you guys know that there's a lot of things I thought I

would be able to overcome here.

It's missing family, missing home, but my mom is really ill. And I think I need

to be with my family. I think family is the number one thing right now, and I

think that they need me. And as much as I don't want to do it, it's a wise

decision for me to walk at this point in time.

God,

Jenna.

It frightens me that my mom...

Something horrible might happen to my mom while I'm here, and it plagues me

every day. It follows me around like a dark cloud, and I don't think I'd ever

forgive myself if I knew that I was here playing a game and something happened

to her.

This is too much horror.

Jenna was just a quivering, shaking little leaf, and she's finally

Her mom is in a cancer rehab home.

And I didn't realize that. She shouldn't be here, actually, in my opinion.

She should not be here.

And I just finally heard about it. She finally came up to me and told me that.

And I said, you know what, Jenna?

You have every right to be in the doldrums.

Every right.

Your life is so short.

You blink and you're gone.

We're a tribe that has not lost one challenge since this game began.

And the reason for that is because of output by all six players. Losing any

of those six would be a detriment. It would hurt a lot.

It would hurt morale.

It would hurt our performance.

You know, I don't even like to think about the possibilities or the what -if

scenarios if Jenna exits.

You're a good person, and you won this sucker, man.

It's all good. The thing is, you need to know something, because this is real.

It's becoming a bit of a cancer eating away at us.

and so that's why if you can just hold that down to help us out because we need

more positive attitudes right now i i completely agree with you you probably

know what you're going through but let's just wait to see what happens

getting

your first look at the new saboga tribe rudy voted out at the last tribal

council oh my rudy He's gone, Richard.

First things first.

Give it up, Kathy.

Mariano.

Once again, immunity.

Back up for grabs.

So, nine days in.

Starting to get into it now.

You guys have a lot of bug bites. How are you holding up, Jenna?

Bitten. That's about the worst of it.

Emotionally, though, all right? Oh, yeah. Emotionally, we feel pretty good.

Plenty of water, plenty of food.

Shelter's working out pretty good. How about you, Shapira?

Amber, how you doing?

Bugs like me, but it's all right.

What's going on at Mogamogo?

You got a couple of issues, a couple of emotional things going on.

What's going on?

Okay.

Wait.

Due to someone who's very ill at home right now, that's getting worse.

I need to pull myself out of the game and be there.

I love this game so much, but my priority is my family.

And it just doesn't make any sense for me to be here anymore.

So I need to take myself out of the game.

So are you talking about your mom?

Yeah, yeah. She's just not any better, and things have gotten a little worse

quickly. You're talking as though you're getting information, updates.

on your mom in the last nine days. No, she's my mother, and I'm the only child.

I got a vibe. I got a feeling that he needs me there.

My dad needs me there.

Everybody needs me there.

I made a bad judgment call.

I shouldn't have came. I thought that I could do it, and he would want me to,

and I was wrong. I should be there in case something happens.

I'll never forgive myself.

You've got to weigh out your options. I love this game, but it's my family.

Alicia, what are you thinking? I think family is the most important thing in

world. There's nothing you can ever put above family. I wouldn't have come out

here to begin with.

No matter whether my mother said, I want you to go, I would have never came.

Ever. Jenna admits her mistake.

No, I know she does. Everybody makes it. She admits her mistake. But I wouldn't

have come.

How about you, Amber?

I feel really bad for her.

Can I give her a hug? Of course.

That's the last thing I wanted to do.

It really is. I really wanted to play this game.

And I give all these people more credit than ever because it's hard.

So that's one of my questions. I just want to understand exactly why you're

leaving. If you're leaving because you can't handle it? No, I can handle it. I

handled it last time. This is time I need with my mother.

I need to know that I had this time with her while I could.

Boston Rob.

I don't think it's right to even question her motive.

We don't know what she's thinking or how she's feeling.

I'm not one to get emotional, and I know inside right now I feel butterflies.

So I say we just support her decision and go come here.

Rupert, I feel bad for her, but, you know, to quit,

it's a hard decision.

Before I left, I told my family.

I made a commitment.

I was coming here, not staying home.

If y 'all got killed in a car wreck, don't call me.

I'll be there after it's over.

But now I made that decision for Big Tom.

And a lot of people are different than Big Tom.

You know, we all have different values we place on different things.

And I don't get the sense that anybody here is saying, I'm right, she's wrong.

But you guys are being pretty honest and saying, here's what I would have done.

This is a big action with big consequences.

And it could have a big impact on this game.

We had an immunity challenge that we don't need to run now.

Shapira to Bogut, you get off easy in a sense. You get a free pass today.

Nothing at stake.

You're going back to camp.

Mogo Mogo, from a game point of view, it hurts you. This is a game that

increases your chances of being voted out at the next tribal council.

We won't run the immunity challenge. We won't have an official tribal council.

But we do have the formality of you going home.

Can you make it to tribal council?

Well, I can't. I'm sorry.

I've pushed too far.

I don't think I can do it.

Fair enough.

Let's bring in a boat.

Jenna, we're thinking about you.

Stay tuned for scenes from our next episode.

Next time on Survivor. Rob and Amber heat things up.

Boston Rob and Amber are going to do it.

A storm wreaks havoc.

And the challenge gets physical.

When Jenna announced that she was going home, there was this mood that swung

through everybody and everybody's shoulders went down and their head hung

and it all brought back the reality that it's difficult out here and even though

it's a game, there's a whole lot more happening here.
