Original subtitles

Previously on Survivor. What is your most embarrassing moment?

The members of Motomaji competed for a reward with the help of their loved ones

on videotape. I threw up in the middle of my human sexuality class. And he

up all over another student.

Lex won and picked Tom to join him on a trip to the Maasai Mara to watch the

wildebeest migration.

They're crazy as hell. They're ugly. They're ugly as a girl I used to date

home.

The safari was amazing.

Oh, look at that. Look, look, look, a hunt. I'm seeing stuff that I had never

seen. It's just like a dream come true. Survivors ready.

At the challenge.

Go.

Tom won immunity. There we go. And Lex was on shaky ground.

Even after we went on our safari, I'm still irritated at Lex. I don't think he

did me right.

At tribal council, Lex expressed his vulnerability. I know what it's like to

almost be taking that walk of shame.

But when the votes were tallied, Lex received two, and Kim Powers received

the rest.

Tribe has spoken. It was her time to go.

Five are left.

Tonight, the members of Motomaji will make a play for the final four as they

vote one more of their own out of the tribe.

We have five people left here in Africa, in Kenya, in Motomaji Camp.

Five people. That's it.

Started with 16, now we're down to five.

Amazing. Morning, T -Bird.

Morning. Morning, T -Bird. Morning.

How are you doing?

Good. How are y 'all doing? Good, good, good. Every little thing we do now is a

huge effort.

We're beginning to talk more in terms now of when we're going home, we're

counting the days. I think it's starting to take a toll on our bodies. Every

night my arms go to sleep. No damn arm. It's not just my arm, it's my ass goes

to sleep, my shoulder goes to sleep, my hand. I never thought it was going to be

this hard, physically, mentally, psychologically, emotionally.

And now that we're so close to the end, I'm exhausted.

But up until just the last few days, I have really tried hard not to think

it. My kids and my wife. Two buckets, two gourds.

But I can't allow myself to give in to any of that until I'm finished.

You can't afford out here to be a sissy.

It has been pretty funny that we take our drinking water basically out of an

elephant's toilet.

We've got an elephant disrespecting our spring.

Oh, how disgusting is that?

Right where we do our laundry.

I mean, he could have picked anywhere.

Might as well just put his butt right over the spring.

That's a monster of a herd.

That's a trap, Bob. Yeah, and it's already covered in gnats.

Finding the waterhole in relaxation.

We love this spot. We come here all the time.

And today we were visited by someone just prior to our getting here that left

a big, giant gift.

Very fresh.

Very smelly.

Very large, and we're getting used to it.

You got to drink, and you got to pull your water, and you got to wash, but

mackerel, that elephant, he couldn't have picked a better spot to relieve

himself, and it looked like he hadn't done his business in a couple weeks.

I want to be in harmony with all the animals and all the people.

That's hard to do, especially here down to the end. I wonder if you drowned

yourself. Now you're so quiet. I'm in deep thought.

Kim Johnson washes in elephants every day.

And I've told her, I said, Kim, down there at the bottom of that creek, I

you're washing where the elephant has pooped in the water.

You're washing in that, washing your clothes, washing your face, washing your

hind end. She has yet to understand that.

And I quit telling her, and I let her wash in it every day.

I keep thinking, I try to smell it, see if she smells like an elephant, but

really she don't. But she's washed in it every day, and I quit telling her.

Okay.

One foot in front of the other.

At this stage of the game, boredom is something that has definitely become a

reality. Plus, I mean, frankly, we've been out here 35 days. We're running out

of things to talk about and things to do.

I've probably gotten to know the four other people that are left here better

than some people that I've known for five, ten years.

Well, Tom, you've got to put those things far away.

Yeah, you've got to put them maybe in the fire.

No, I'm serious. I think it would be good for us if we burned those.

Tom's feet.

I stink perhaps the worst I've ever smelled of anyone's feet on the planet

Earth. And they smell so bad.

He's got some funk down there that I've never smelled before.

I don't like being so close to you.

Everybody complains. Ethan's terrible.

He hates them. He raises hell. He wants me to move my shoes.

He told me to throw my shoes away.

He gusts the wind. The smell's going in my nose.

I can't stand it.

Just throw them away.

I can't take my boots off.

Don't put him near my head. Put him over near the water.

They're bad. He's got a problem. I think he's got a problem.

In water there?

Yeah. Yeah, we're sitting there. enjoying our popcorn and tom's like hey

hail farm big red's out oh my god i'll get him i'll get him i'll get him we're

buddies buddies hail a lot of people saw a chicken out i saw my dinner out

walking around it might get out of that bone

They were panicking a little bit, wanting to run the chicken.

Worst thing you could do is run that chicken. So I just laid there and didn't

want to panic that chicken. Just bring her to me. Bring her over to me. Don't

pull her right in front of you.

That chicken kind of walked by Tom. He's laying down, half asleep.

Got both legs.

The chicken's like, got it.

It was pretty impressive.

We just pretended to wrestle and have a little fun, a little excitement in the

day. You know, maybe we'll let it out some more and try to catch it. Let's

some fun.

We went to TreeMail expecting that it was going to be challenge time.

Something big.

Oh, I like big.

This was a completely different kind of TreeMail because it opened up the

mailbox and it was an instant reward.

Wow, well there's something for each and every one of us here.

Mail call.

Carissa, Tim, and Lex.

From Allie!

A letter?

A letter?

I got a whole mess of letters.

I had letters from my wife, from my two sons, from my mother, my father.

It doesn't get any better than that.

It gave me what I need to get through the next few days. It fed my body and my

soul.

It seems like the first one I probably grabbed was from my dad because his

health's not very good.

Before I left, I remember telling him, you better be here when I get back.

So I think his letter probably touched me the most because I worry the most

about him.

Don't forget the pressure zone.

So if you feel like giving up and being a puss, just remember that you have to

be tough and uphold my reputation now that I'm the big dog.

Now, is that some way to talk to your dad?

It's really good to hear from them because they put their ink on this

know, they touch this paper and, you know, we can touch them. So it's really

nice.

It was just the best. Just to hear from home was unbelievable.

It was great.

My husband wrote me a poem and he's not a poem writer.

Kippy's my nickname.

And actually, even before I came on this, he's always called me Survivor

with a girl named kippy grant who never said the words i can't friends all say

she's not like most names and now she's gone in kenya you know it's hard to

cover for kippy's no show for a mom and a wife who really loves living we're

lucky indeed you're always so giving this

experience would be nothing

if i didn't have somebody to go back and share it with it definitely brought a

calm and a reality to me that, you know, the game's almost over and that's where

I'm going back to.

You guys ready?

Yes. Reward Haiku a surprise visit for one whose brain is sharpest but who will

claim it.

I cannot believe that as far out in the middle of nowhere we are

that there's actually the possibility of a visit. A surprise visit maybe for us

to go see something.

It doesn't say a surprise visitor. Interesting.

Brain is sharpest.

Oh, maybe we have to write a haiku or something. Tell me what a haiku is

It's a Japanese poem. That's a haiku.

Oh, my God. I can't say haiku.

All right.

Today's reward challenge is not physical, doesn't require endurance,

mental. It's a word scramble. You'll have a list of 12 Swahili words.

Each time you find a word, circle it, mark it off your list.

Each word will intersect with at least one other word, and that is the key to

solving this puzzle. Once you've found all 12 words, take the intersecting

letters, unscramble them, and make one final English word. To help you out,

there's a clue tacked to the bottom of your board for the final word. First

person to get the final word correct wins a reward.

There's two parts to your reward today.

The answer to your puzzle will explain the first part. Second part, I'll tell

you about later. It's going to be a great reward.

Shall we get it on?

Yes. Let's go. Pick a board.

Here we go, guys. Survivors ready.

Go.

Black test two.

Look carefully. They're all there.

Lex now has four.

KJ, I got one.

You're on the board.

Tom got his first one.

Lex in the early lead with five.

Kim Johnson has two.

Ethan with three.

Big Tom has two.

Lex with six, still in the lead.

Keber with two.

Ethan with three.

Reese is still with three.

Lex with nine.

Only three more to go.

Lex has 12. He's working on his clue.

Ethan's at six.

KJ, up to four.

Lex is spelling out his final word.

Winner, Lex.

Congratulations, my friend. Thank you. It's going to be a great day.

Hey, guys.

We're going to take a little walk.

Oh, I see a wheel.

Some chrome. I see some chrome.

Get out of town.

Chevy Avalanche. It's all yours.

Oh, yeah.

When I walked around that bush and saw that big blue Chevy truck and knew it

wasn't mine, I was so, like, jealous.

So I was annoyed and a little pissed off and trying to be happy for Lex, but

deep down inside I wasn't that happy for him. It's tough. It's annoying, you

know. I just don't want him to win anymore.

Now let's get to the special visit part of this reward.

You're going to have a great honor. You're going to be an ambassador of

because, as you guys certainly know, AIDS in Africa, huge problem.

So we've loaded up some really special cargo.

Hop off and I'll show you what it is.

Oh, nice.

This plus another truckload is a year's worth of medical supplies.

We're taking it to Wamba Hospital.

It's the coolest place. This guy started it in 1961, 40 years.

only on charitable donations.

When they opened up the back of the truck, I saw HIV. It was very emotional

me because my brother passed away of AIDS. So right away when I saw that, it

just brought back all the emotions of everything. Unfortunately, 11 years ago,

there was so little known about AIDS. It made me very happy.

Fantastic.

Get out of here. You're driving.

truck, Jeff explained to me kind of what the visit part of the reward was, and

it was actually visiting a hospital in a village here in Kenya called Wamba, and

our visit was going to be to deliver a year's worth of supplies, especially for

all of their AIDS testing.

I'm out here spending all this time playing this game, Survivor, focusing on

nothing but without...

realizing now that i haven't even really thought about ironically what the what

the word survivor and what the word survive means and this is the perfect

situation to just remind me of that this little hospital

in this little village in the middle of kenya people come from all over

this

is cool what a cool place

There's the doctor, straight ahead.

This

old

Italian gentleman, this doctor, has dedicated his entire lifetime to helping

people here in Africa. This guy does it simply out of the goodness of his own

heart and has...

single -handedly mobilized and inspired enough people to create a completely

self -sufficient hospital in the middle of nowhere.

We've got the test kits and verapine, which I know you need. Thank you. You're

so welcome.

It's our honor.

Thank you. Our pleasure.

Here comes the rest of it now.

Come on back here.

We were delivering all these medical supplies that they're in desperate need

I mean, they're running on fumes at that hospital as it is. And we were also

going to provide them with a new drug that allows pregnant women who have HIV

have children, and the children have a better than 50 % chance of being born

without HIV, whereas if they didn't get this medication, they would probably be

born HIV positive.

we got a tour of the pediatric ward which was both heartbreaking and just

inspirational you've got these these little kids most all of them orphans

i got to actually pass out toys which you know is always a good time

i got to play with these kids uh they made me miss the hell out of my kids

you walk out of there

After spending a day checking out the hospital, talking to the doctor, seeing

all of this stuff face -to -face, I walked away a changed person. Doctor, it

a great pleasure. Thank you again.

See you.

The gift I take away from here is he's planted a small seed in me, and I'm

to take that home with me.

Today, there's a little bit of animosity towards the lakes.

I'm winning that truck.

I had a lot of people asking me about my alliance and trying to change

things.

The second day, three of us had an alliance, and then they never told me,

nobody else was there.

Anybody that was good, and it was good to me, I tried to take care of. And I

tried to use my personal judgment on how far I thought they ought to go.

absolutely trying to work a deal with that in mind I know all these guys don't

really want to come down to the threesome they're all skeptical of each

dilemma then at this point with my immunity at stake is to figure out which

the guys is feeling the most vulnerable which one is the best one to try to

approach with with some type of scenario

Kim approached me and she's like, you gotta get Lex off.

She's like, if you don't get Lex off, you're shooting yourself in the foot.

Hello?

We thought maybe you had gone out for steak dinner in addition.

No.

I was gone most of the day. When I got back, the vibe was thick at camp.

How was it? It was heavy.

It was really heavy.

And, uh... So we, uh...

Everyone else in the tribe was bummed about the fact that they lost and didn't

win. They've got patients from Ethiopia, Somalia, Mogadishu.

Everyone was nervous, and no one really wanted to talk about anything.

So anyway, we got there, and there's this old doctor there.

There was some strange stuff going down. The mojo was just funky.

He's healthy. He's been eating normally. He's been out of camp like five more

days than I have. You know, he's riding on confidence.

It's tough to be at the top of your game when someone else has all those added

ingredients.

Tommy,

on

several occasions,

has tried to get Lex voted off. He actually told Teresa that Lex should be

next one to go, unbeknownst to Lex or Ethan.

And he came to me and said that if I have an opportunity, it would be a good

thing to vote off Lex, but he didn't want to know anything about it.

You know what?

We made our lines.

We got to stick with it.

What will be, will be.

And I don't know no other way.

Well, the other way is what we said. We got Lex off.

He's going to be hard to beat in the end.

Oh, yeah.

Because he's strong.

I mean, doesn't the thought of him winning again piss you off?

I came into this game with the attitude of winning the whole thing and to do it

in a fair way and to do it...

beating the best people and going against the best head -to -head.

Till today, I don't think either of them realized how much of a threat he was.

Nathan included. Nathan's like pissed now, you know.

All of you want him gone, but nobody wants to do it.

Kim said today that she knows that, you know, the guys have got such a strong

alliance that she's the next to go. And I'm thinking to myself, good for you.

Good for you. You're finally thinking.

He's going to rather go against Tom.

She's always going to get away. She's going to do it. And I said, what if Lex

doesn't get immunity and I can get Tom to vote Lex off?

And she said, did she do that? She said, it's not too early now to do that. And

I'm thinking, well, hey, she's waking up a little bit.

I found something in the basket.

And look what you found. And look what I found.

Pretty little basket.

Okay.

Things are always easier the second time around.

You're about to find out if it's as true as it sounds.

With the Final Four pending, you don't want to lose or have the tribal council.

It could be you that they choose.

This was in there.

I don't know if that has anything to do with it. I thought it was a damn snake.

What are those?

They're seeds.

This immunity challenge coming up is certainly going to be the most important

for me.

What's that got to do with it?

I don't know.

I'm the last Sambro left, so it would be easy for them right now just to go

ahead and move me out.

Or maybe it's something totally different, and you've got to run through

something twice. Whatever it is, I've got to give it all I've got.

You guys can go ahead and fall in.

All right, first things first, Big Tom.

Give it up, baby.

I hate to.

Uh -oh, my nose is a little large. You want another button that way? I'll hook

that for you. Thank you. All right. I hate to see it go.

Immunity is back up for grabs.

Today's challenge, obviously a big one. One of the qualities required to do well

in this game of Survivor is the ability to learn from past mistakes.

Today you're going to get a second chance at elements from previous

Some are physical, some are mental. To win it, you'll have to do well at all of

them. It starts with a puzzle ladder.

Assemble the puzzle, use it to make your way up to the net. Go up one side of

the net, down the other. You'll find a cart that contains pieces to a puzzle.

Drag the cart over to your puzzle platform and assemble the puzzle.

You'll then make your way under the ladder crawl to your bow and arrows.

First person to hit their target with an arrow wins immunity.

Obviously, this is a big challenge. Win this, you're in the final four. You guys

are all strong competitors. This is game day. Take your positions. Wait for my

start.

Here we go. Immunity at stake.

Survivors ready.

You guys are all pretty even.

All four pins in.

Ten minutes.

That way, Big Tom. You're in it. You're in it.

You guys are doing great. You're all very even.

Playing smart, you're thinking.

Stop panicking.

Out of the way, Kim.

Lex is done.

Lex is on his last leg.

There it is!

Nice shot.

Congratulations.

After a temporary vacation, evidently, it likes this home a little better.

Congratulations. Thank you, Jeff. Immunity tonight. You are safe.

The other four,

somebody's going home.

Give you guys the afternoon to think about it. I'll see you at tribal

close enough to that I know we're going to see each other more, we're going to

talk. T -Bird approached me before tribal council and obviously needed to

heart -to -heart.

She's the odd person out at this point. She's the only person that's left that's

from the original Samburu.

She's a mess of hurt.

Somehow we worked it out to where everyone that's left is a sweet person.

For me, it's, I guess, kind of bittersweet. I know that I'm going to be

one to go unless I can think of something real quick.

Just watch yourself, because even with a lion, people have their own

agenda. I know, I know.

I had thought of every different way I could play it, and unfortunately, with

Lex getting immunity, that cut down a lot of my options, and I really only had

one option to go, and that was with trying to get Lex.

and Kim Johnson to vote off Tom. When I came over this tribe, a little birdie

whispered something in my ear.

T -Bird was obviously struggling with something, and so she said, you know, I

need you guys to sit down. I have something I need to confess to you. I

something before we go to tribal council I need to tell you. Right.

Knowing I'm pretty sure I was gone, I thought I don't have anything to lose

anyway. I'll go ahead and let them know that I was the one that put the vote

against Lex.

And she said, you know, when you got that one mystery vote, who at the time I

thought might be Kelly, I was the one that cast that vote for you.

The reason I changed my vote was because before we left for tribal council when

we were in here, somebody came up and whispered to me, watch out for legs.

Who told you to watch out for me? I can't tell you.

No, I sincerely hope it was Kelly.

And I said, well, there's not more than a couple people that it could be because

you're telling me to watch my back.

Did Tom tell you not to trust me?

I mean, that's the only person I can think of that just at all fits.

And she just looked at me and, you know, went like this.

Why? Just so I don't understand.

In telling her that, Tom was basically giving her a green light that I was the

right person to vote for.

I just don't get it.

And I also found out, you know, at that point, Mama Cat told me that she'd also

been approached by Tom on more than one occasion.

He said, you know, if you vote Rex off, you know, it would be great if you did

it. But don't let me know anything about it. I don't want to know about it. It

would be a good thing to do. And I said, if you want to watch it, then let him

vote him off. That's a pity.

Tom wants Lex off, but he says I can't vote him. So he wants everybody else to

do the dirty work for him.

So he still looks like the good guy. How many people in the jury know that side

of him?

Nobody. No.

No, that's a problem.

That's why I have a hard time going up against him.

Well, I appreciate you telling me. Thanks for telling me.

Well,

it just got way more sinister.

Tommy's sort of insular in his thinking.

Tommy's looking after Tommy most of the time. Whatever Tommy wants to do, Tommy

does, regardless of its effect on other people.

Ultimately, I'm responsible for myself and nobody else. It's completely gone to

cutthroat mode.

And if I think that Tom, if I think that he's in a situation where he's about to

screw me over and stab me in the back, I'll cut his throat.

We'll now bring in our jury.

Up to four members now.

Well, I got to call attention to something I just noticed when the jury

in, which is the shirt that Kelly's wearing.

Shameless, which I can only imagine is referring back to last...

tribal council when the whole notion of the walk of shame came up is that what

you guys feel as a group is it a walk of shame that well that was actually a

term that was coined a long time ago and was kind of the common term that we all

used around the camp anyway it has nothing to do with that being a shameful

place to be that there be there being any shame and being voted off or being

of the tribe it was just a term we all kind of coined and used freely without

really thinking about what somebody might interpret it as.

Big Tom, does it make you more aware of what you're saying, knowing the jury is

listening, or was that just, that's not a big deal and we should be blown away?

I mean, it probably ought to be a big deal, but every one of them on that jury

knows me, and they know if it comes through my brain, it'll come out my

and I'm too old to change now, and I'm not going to change for them or these or

you.

I'm who I am, and that's it.

No, I...

I'm going to say whatever comes out, and I'll stand by it. Ethan, how acute are

your senses now after being out with no distractions for over a month in Africa?

Well, you're just not as sharp.

Mentally, you're not as sharp. And you trip over things that you weren't

tripping over before.

Now that I'm laying on the ground, I'm thin. You feel the ground more than

Your ribs are sticking into the earth.

So in terms of that, you know.

But mentally, I'm not sharp, as sharp anymore.

I'm just, you know, it's tough. You know, it wears on you. You know, you're

tired all the time. You're hungry all the time. You know, so in that sense, I

think some of my cuteness has gone far away.

Teresa, I've got to bring up, you're the last of the original Samburu.

I was hoping you wouldn't notice that.

Actually, I was hoping they wouldn't notice that.

Well, do you think they haven't? Yeah, they've noticed it.

I feel like I was lucky to be brought into the old Buran tribe earlier than

the merge, so I got to know especially Ethan and Kim.

I never thought I'd get to this point. I never thought I'd make the final five.

All right, we're going to vote in a minute. Before we do, one final

Tom, know who you're voting for tonight, and do you have a game plan from here

on out?

I might be that one to get the vote off tonight, so you can't make a game plan

after this thing's over.

I've got my bags packed like everybody else, and you don't know in this game

when you're going or when you're coming. So I'm going.

I'll just wait until it gets closer and see what happens. Okay, it's time to

vote. KJ, you're up first.

Hey, Bird, you've been a good friend, and it's been my pleasure to keep that

wonderful smile off of your ear.

It's with a heavy heart that I cast this vote for you, a really heavy heart.

I can tally the votes.

Once the votes have been read, the decision is final. The person will be

to leave the Tribal Council area immediately.

I'll read the votes.

First vote.

T -Bird.

It's you, Teresa.

T -Bird.

It's two for Teresa.

Three votes.

That's enough. No need to read the other two.

You can bring me your torch.

Is that what he's saying?

Teresa, the tribe has spoken.

It's time for you to go.

Bye.

Well, here's what this game has come down to.

Four people, three days, two immunity challenges, one survivor.

You guys can head back to camp.

I will see you tomorrow.

of a lifetime.

I never dreamed I'd make it to be one of the 16 survivors, much less be one of

the five remaining survivors.

It's something I'll of course never forget.

I appreciate having the opportunity to be here and to experience everything

in Africa.

Thank you for a wonderful experience.
