All language subtitles for Survivor.s20e15

I came for one reason and one reason
only, for another million dollars.

Sandra, undead sugar talk.

I'm not a physical person. I didn't hide
behind no immunity necklace.

I've been soul surviving since my
alliance was wiped out.

You know how some people forgive but
don't forget? Well, I don't forgive and

don't forget.

You want Russell gone?

Yeah. Russell's gone. She's weak in
challenges.

She's easy to beat for the vote.

Russell's keeping me around because I'll
never get a single vote. But I don't

know about that.

I can't believe it. If anybody has the
hidden immunity idol. Should I let you

finish? I had to take care of myself.

I want the title of sole survivor.

I think I deserve it.

Welcome to the survivor heroes versus
villains live reunion show in New York

City where we have just crowned our
first.

Two -time winner.

So, Sandra, does the fact that you're
the only person who has won twice, does

that make you best player ever?

It makes me the queen.

The best ever, yes.

Without question? Without question. I
mean, I have two titles.

What else can you ask for? I always, I
go out there and my goal is to make it

the end and I make it to the end and I
win.

You can't beat that.

Is Sandra the best ever?

Sandra is extremely logical and her
argument makes perfect sense.

However, I mean, I have to argue because
I've played three times and I've lasted

the most amount of days and I'm She's
kind of a challenge dominator, so...

Let's arm

wrestle. Russell,

third person in this trifecta. Best
player ever, Sandra?

Do you really want me to explain this to
you?

In 30 seconds or less. Okay.

Social player.

No. She's lippy and she knows it.

And she loves it, and that's okay.

But social game, no.

Physical game, maybe the worst physical
player to ever play the game.

That's actually strategy.

That is actually a strategy. It is true
that in... Wait, wait.

And... You have the floor. Let me
finish.

Strategic game.

Her strategic game from day one.

Get rid of Russell.

And you know what?

It never paid out for her. So let's
award her for her failures.

That's right. You know what? Because
after a certain point, there was no use

getting rid of Westbrook. Let me tell
her.

Give your finish. You got 10 seconds.
The problem is the game.

I think there is a flaw in the game.

A flaw in the game of survival. Yes.
Okay. If she can win the game twice,

is a flaw in the game. What's the flaw?

What's the flaw?

Let me tell you what needs to happen.
Let me tell you what needs to happen.

on. Hold on. Russell. Russell. What
needs to happen. Stop.

You've had 78 days to talk. I'll give
you 10 seconds to tell me the flaw. What

needs to happen is America needs to have
a percentage of the vote. Yeah.

Brother. I'm just saying.

I'm just saying.

You still wouldn't win if they had a
percentage of the vote. I would have won

last season. You still would not win.

right there that's it you're pointing to
his family one two three four five

sandra let me ask you this but this this
is a debate that will go on for the

record that's obviously not yes our show
is not that our show is very clearly

defined in that you take a group of
people you put them in one situation you

vote out people and in the end the last
group that jury decides who they think

deserves it this isn't a game in which
you include america that's a different

game So you haven't won this game. Maybe
you would win that game.

Sandra, what was your key move? Was
there one move that you look back on and

say, if this hadn't happened, might not
have gotten there?

I have a ton of moves, Jeff. Like I've
always said, I was a fan first before I

became a survivor.

When I go out there, I take a little bit
of every season and use it to my

knowledge and to my ability.

And I learn from every season what
mistakes not to make and how to proceed

the game. So I take it day by day.

Tom Westman.

What does it say, as one of our favorite
winners, clearly?

What does it say?

On one hand, Sandra has only played two
times, and she has won both times. She

has never been voted out of this game.

On the other hand, in all the times
she's played, she's never won a single

challenge. Even beloved Courtney has won
a challenge.

So, Tom, what does that say about what
the elements are required to win this

game? I've always said that the game is
a third physical, it's a third strategic

and social, and it's a third luck. A lot
of luck comes into it.

The one thing I've always maintained is
whoever won that season deserves to win

that season. That's the way it plays
out. That's the hand you have. It's the

people that you're surrounded with.

If you win it, it's your game, yours.

Sorry, Russell.

Congratulations, Andrew.

Russell, are you surprised you didn't
win?

Didn't get a vote?

You know what? I didn't play twice. I
played once.

But a long time.

Referring to the fact that you played
back -to -back without a break. Let me

tell you how good I am.

Back -to -back means nothing.

When I can make a winner, a winner, JT,
you're referring to, look like

the dumbest player in history.

Then that means I'm good, right?

Well... No!

Let me

just say... All right, Russell, plan

it. Let me just say for those of you who
are with us here in Letterman's Theater

and those of you watching with us at
home, I'm not exaggerating when I say

this... is what it was like every single
day out there.

All right, we're going to take a break.
When we come back, we will still hear

more from Russell because I have a
feeling he's just getting started. And

in the show, ironically, Russell, you
tipped off something we're going to do.

are actually going to crown the winner
of the dumbest move in Survivor history.

And JT, you're in the running.

But first, let's relive some of the
toughest challenges from this season.

Get that ball. Big battle.

Trying to get back with that. Ow.

Colby goes strong.

Tom not messing around.

Candace now takes poverty out.

You've already proven yourself to be a
disgusting human being who can swear on

your kid's life.

Great, powerful Rupert. The good guy.
You know.

The second coming of Christ.

You're such a dumbass, Rupert.

Welcome back to the Survivor Heroes vs.
Villains reunion show in New York City.

Sandra, one of the storylines that came
out with you this year was your husband

being in Afghanistan.

As you said, this is what I, he's over
there, this is what I do. I hustle on

Survivor. Where is your husband? There
he is.

He's dead.

And he's just back for two weeks.

He's back for two weeks. To be a part of
this? Yes. And then he's heading back

to Afghanistan? Right back.

Well, we thank you for your service.

What did he say to you?

When you guys hugged down there, what
did your husband say?

He said, good job. Don't let Russell get
to me.

I'm the queen.

Parvin, do you think that when it came
time for the jury to vote, do you think

teaming up with Russell worked against
you?

Yeah, I think so, because Russell was so
hated by everyone on the jury that

everyone just lumped me in with him and
was like, oh, you were riding his

coattails, you were his sad little, you
know, pathetic, like, coattail rider,

which was obviously not true.

You know, but no one in this game
believed anything that I was saying, so

to just win challenges.

Well, I have to say, it's worth pointing
out your stats.

114 days in this game, the record.
Nobody has played this game longer than

And...

Also worth noting, tied for second in
terms of most individual challenge wins.

Harvey Donaldson holds the record for
seven.

Russell,

what happened? Did you know what
happened with the hat at the time when

back and it was gone?

No, I didn't know what happened with the
hat. I figured somebody did something,

but there was three people left.

what strategic move would that be? So
I'm like, where's my hat?

I don't know where my hat is. So is the
first time you saw it happen just

watching it tonight?

Reaction when Miss Sandra said... I
think, you know what?

I think it was a good move. It was
dirty, it was funky, so I threw it in

fire. You know what?

I give credit where credit is due.

And I felt bad after I did it because he
said he wore it for two seasons, but

then when he started acting crazy, then
I was like, I'm glad I did it.

Really? Too cheesy?

No. I give credit where credit's due.
And you know what? By burning my hat can

fluster me at tribal council.

But, you know, at the end of the day,
poverty.

What? She probably should have won.

Well, again, Russell, that's a different
game. That's called Russell decides who

wins tonight.

Pitch that to Mark Burnett. He may
actually like it.

I think he would.

Let me ask you. Are you aware, though,
when you're playing this game, are you

aware of your... I don't care about
that.

I play as hard as I can. You know what?
Russell, stop.

Take a deep breath with me. Russell, you
and me right here. Okay.

And you.

Breathe. Yeah. Okay.

Just trying to get some information
here. Okay.

Are you aware during the game, like when
you get into an argument with Rupert,

that vicious, we just saw a clip of it
coming in, you're not going to get his

vote. When you betray Jerry, probably
not going to get it. Are you thinking,

you think, well, that's two votes, but
I've got others?

You know what? After I played the first
time and played right again, I

played one time.

And I was whipped. That's not the
question.

Are you aware of the jury? This is a
fundamental... Let me explain something

before you answer. I hear what you're
saying.

You haven't answered what I've asked, so
I'll ask you again.

He doesn't understand.

Do you... What's that mean?

Do you think about the fact that the
social game is something you're missing?

don't care about that fact.

I play the game as hard as I can. I do
what I have to do.

I do what I can do. And you know what? I
make it to the end every time.

Boston Rob.

Boston Rob,

quick question.

If you and Russell had teamed up, how
might that have gone?

It would have gone pretty good. The
problem with Russell, and I think what

trying to say to you, is that he doesn't
play the game to win.

And it's clear in his strategy. He plays
a good game to get to the end.

But he doesn't play a game to win the
game.

And that's where he and I differ.

Among other things as well.

If we had teamed up, we could have done
pretty well together, I think. And you

play the game to win?

I do play the game to win. When have you
won?

I haven't.

But I guarantee, given the opportunity,
I'll gladly go back and kick your ass

all over the place.

That could be a future season, Rob
versus Russell.

All right. I want to talk about
something else that I found very, I

impactful this season. A couple of dumb
moves, starting with you, Tyson.

It's a little hard to set up, but if you
watch the season, there came a time at

Tribal Council where Boston Rob had laid
it out. Here's what we do, and we get

rid of either Parvati or Russell by the
end of the night.

Inexplicably, you change your vote.

Not only were you voted out, you changed
the entire course of the game.

Do you think about that? Does that haunt
you? All the time, yeah.

But you know what? You have to take
risky moves in the game to get far.

Was that risky or dumb?

If it would have worked out, I would
have looked like a genius, Jeff.

Like, Parvati knows, like, she's played
the game with, like, 85 people in

Survivor history, and half of them are
here.

And so, and I knew everybody hated
Russell, so to keep him around. You were

playing the odd.

Right, and I knew that there was a
chance. I knew he had the idol, because

coach told me. And I knew that he could
give it to Parvati. So you've got a

strategy behind it. Yeah, definitely.

JT, the other dumb move this season.
We've already talked about it. But my

question for you is, I saw that move as
a...

A pretty decent strategic idea. If you
were right and he needed you, it could

have been a brilliant move. Do you have
any regrets about that?

Not at all. I would have never done it
if I thought I was safe to begin with.

I was at a point where I felt like I was
going home in the next couple of votes

no matter what.

The odds were against me. I was hoping
to play with Coach, Rob, Courtney, or

Tyson. And one by one, they got picked
off.

So I was like, well, you know, I know
I'm not going to be able to play with

poverty. So you again, you play. My bag
was against the wall. You know, I

reached out to somebody, but I didn't
know he was not playing the game. Well,

we've been conducting a poll online to
see money if we win this thing.

No, actually, you the winner of this
actually has to give some money back.

We've been conducting a poll to see who
the audience thinks has made the dumbest

move over the past 20 seasons of
Survivor. There are five nominees.

Tyson is one.

JT is another.

James, the guy with two idols that got
voted out back in China.

Colby Donaldson is one. Four, people say
you took the wrong person back in

Australia. You could have won if you'd
taken the chef, Keith.

And even Eric. Where is Eric?

Eric, wow, with the new haircut.

Oh, my gosh.

We don't recognize him anymore, the ice
cream scooper. All right, here are the

dumbest moves. Take a look at this.
Flashback.

I'm not going anywhere.

I want the power with two idols.

Tenth person voted out in the fourth
member of our jury, James.

I want to give individual immunity to
Natalie.

Thirteenth person voted out in the sixth
member of our jury, Eric.

Well, so play the idol tonight and save
yourself.

You don't hand the enemy the idol.

JT. I'm going to vote for Parvati. I
thought it was an opportunity to flop my

vote to Parvati.

Tyson. I don't even know that I have a
50 -50 shot against Tina.

However, I'm choosing to go into the
finals with Tina.

All right.

In typical Survivor fashion, we took
some tiki thing and turned it into a

trophy. And your name will be on here.
I'm proud to say that of the five, the

winner comes.

from this season.

And Tyson, it is not you. JT,
congratulations on making the dumbest

Survivor history.

Thank you.

All right, feel the thumb.

Sprint is going to award $100 ,000 to
one of this season's passways based on

your votes.

Up next, some of this season's
contestants surprised us. Others were

disappointments. We're live.

Heroes vs. Villains reading show. We'll
be right back.

Somebody push this toward me.

Shut up. Shut up. I don't care who you
are. You just don't talk to people like

that. Shut up and listen to the guy
who's trying to tell you. A little less

cursing off your tribe might help.

Keep your mouth shut.

Welcome back to Survivor Heroes vs.
Villains. It's our reunion show. This

we had a lot of surprises and
disappointments. James, I think it's

you might have been both in that
disappointing to see you get injured and

again. But the surprise for me was your
attitude.

You just didn't seem like you were
having fun from day one. What was going

I mean, I really was kind of having fun.
It just kind of didn't seem that way.

To nobody.

We had...

Yeah, this seemed to catch me in my
moments of the worst times ever. I love

I mean, it hurt my mom's feelings. I'm
sorry, Mama.

But I really had like a... So you're
telling me, James, there was nothing

on because I've seen you play now three
times. And I even from the beginning

thought, man, this dude's in a bad mood.

It was just... Because I was with a
great team.

I mean, I was with the greatest... Are
you disappointed in yourself?

I'm disappointed in my knee. I'm getting
old, but... But you like how... So

you're all right with it? Yes, sir. All
right.

Rupert, tough start for you. A few
minutes into the game, you have a broken

How did this compare for you in season's
pass?

See, and it wasn't just one toe. It was
two bones and one toe, and the toe we

taped it off to was broken also.

Didn't know that till I got out and you
know it put me in I thought I was gonna

be out the first day when they set me
out thinking I was weak on that first

challenge What do you make of the whole
good versus evil here? What do you take

from this?

It was tough You know the lines are
always blurred like tell people all the

I stole I lied I manipulated and I was
one of the heroes, you know I mean the

game is the game is what the game is. I
like going out though and being called

one of the heroes

Colby, you were brought back because you
represent, you embody the qualities of

a hero on Survivor.

This season, a horrible start, moments
into the show, did you know, did

you have a feeling this is not going to
go well right away?

Well, physically I did, yeah. Yeah,
losing to Coach in the first challenge,

physically I knew things were different.
They were going to be very different.

He's still behind you. Let me do it
again.

But, you know, we're looking at some of
it now. But you also, though, you didn't

seem to be enjoying yourself out there.
I had more fun watching the season than

I did playing it. I really did. Is that
because it's your third time?

Well, I think there was some adventure
lost with this. And that is a big part

it for me. And part of that was...

The inability to really go in the water,
whether it was fish, swim, all that.

You know, we were really quarantined. We
couldn't explore in the jungle. And

that's a lot of what I enjoyed from the
previous season. Even in Panama, when we

weren't winning, you know, Lex and Ethan
and I would go out and free dive every

day. There was a lot of fun. There was a
lot of adventure.

And I couldn't find that this time. So
you couple that with my poor

and challenges.

It was a rough season.

Amanda.

You played this game a lot. You're
second to Parvati, I think, in days

Obviously, you've done very well. You
are one of only four people to make it

the end twice. You, Sandra, Parvati, and
Russell are the only four people who've

done that. And yet, there's this one
quality that seems to elude you, and

that killer instinct.

Does this haunt you in life as well,
where you just can't tell?

Wow! No, Amanda, I'm not picking on you.
It's what everyone on the street says,

is she's such a good player.

But then you back off.

You come to James' rescue.

You know what I'm saying.

Yeah, I don't know what that is. It
happens.

When it comes down to the cut time where
I have to perform, it just doesn't

happen. I don't know what it is. It's
just something in me. I feel bad or

something.

I feel bad about voting people out. It's
like the game is really emotional for

me. Still, today.

Yeah?

Not as much.

Stephanie, you, kind of like Colby came
in, in terms of women, you represented

this ideal of great competitor,
physical, shoulder halfway

out of your body on day one. You never
really got up to speed.

No, I mean, I was very grateful to come
back a third time.

And I knew that there was a good chance
I was going to go very early in this

game. I mean, there's like probably
three of us here that really doesn't.

out with any of these other people.

So then the shoulder dislocation was
extremely unfortunate.

Did you have fun?

I mean, I was there like six days.

I tried to have fun, but I was on the
out before the game even began.

But Jeff, I'll tell you this.

It's nothing that a Flamin' Down pizza
can't cure at my restaurant.

GG Restaurant and Lounge. Jeff, what
else do I have? Come on.

Okay, good.

Congratulations to you. I'm glad you
have a restaurant going. Thank you.

Is there anything you can do in this
game when you come into it with the kind

target you had on your back? Is it just
that's just the way it went this season?

Jeff, I don't think there's anything I
could have done different besides, I

don't know, maybe pay Tom a million
dollars. I mean, I did everything I

When people have a perception of who you
are and what you are, it's hard to

break that. And if you're not given the
opportunity to break it, then you get

what you get.

I want to see if we have this video.
Coach, you supplied a moment this year

Tyson that was one of the most
interesting and touching and funny

If we have this, I want to roll it. Now
we'll just talk about it. Do we have it?

Has anybody ever said anything good
about me?

Am I that bad of a person, man?

If you want to stick it out, I'll help
you through it.

Thanks for coming out here, man. No
problem, dude.

Now, coach.

Coach, just one question.

We don't have a lot of time. Oh, geez,
you've got to preface it with that.

Well, because you will tell the story.
All right, yes.

I found that a very endearing moment.
You truly were trying to say, what is it

about me? Have you learned anything
about how people perceive you on this

I think, you know, the first time I came
into it, I came in as coach, where you

can never be wrong. You've always got
to, you know, keep a stiff upper lip.

I saw myself on television, and I said,
that guy's an arrogant ass. And I got to

change about that. And so I learned from
the game, and I came into the next

game. I wanted redemption so bad.

And early on, the reason why I broke
down is because all these thoughts were,

can I change it?

You know, can I change that perception?
I'm trying my best. And at that point at

Tribal, when Sandra said that, I thought
maybe I can't change it. Tyson gave me

a great empowering speech. Change who
you are. And I woke up the next day and

just thought, you know what? Are you a
different guy?

I think so. I definitely think I'm more
humble, down to earth, chivalrous to all

the ladies.

All right. Come on. As we go to break, I
have to share something. We have our

first survivor baby.

Boston Rob and Amber have given birth.

Let's see. There she is.

Lucia. And that's Amber, who won
Survivor All -Stars, a very successful

reunion. All right. Up next, one of
these players is going to win $100 ,000

courtesy of Sprint. But first, taking us
to the break are Survivor composers who

write all of our music in every episode.
Russ Landau, David Vanacore.

I've been texting and voting online for
the sprint player of the season. The

honor comes with a $100 ,000 cash prize.
The votes are in, and it has come down

to, fittingly, a two -person race
between good and evil.

On one side, we have Rupert, one of the
two finalists.

And on the other side, look at Russell
already shaking his hand like he knows

it's him. It is Russell.

So, America.

decided between good versus evil, and
much like the game went, evil is won

again. Russell is the sprint player of
the season.

And the winner of $100 ,000.

And you will say, I'll say it more
succinctly because we're out of time,

will say that's proof to your point that
America, yes. They make the decision.

They should.

Jerry.

I have to say, having watched you play
this game three times, it seems like

season it all came together.

Are you happy with how you played
physically, competitively,

spiritually?

Jeff, I am so excited to be here again
for a third time, and I have to say that

watching this show, I mean, I was really
proud of the way I played the game the

entire time out there, and watching it,
I just felt that same way times a

thousand. And I feel like the irony of
my situation is that,

The first time I played this, people
hated me so bad they wanted me gone.

This time they liked me too much to keep
me around.

Nicely done.

Danielle.

Danielle, you played a mighty game.

You were in it.

Danielle, you were in it until the end,
and then you had this breakdown at

Tribal. You talked about how exhausted
you were. Did you feel it coming on, or

was it in retrospect that you were able
to see what happened?

No, I felt it coming on. That day was
just so stressful for me. I was, you

Russell was trying to get me voted off
all day.

And, you know, I'm human. I have
emotions. I have feelings. I have heart.

just proved at the end of the day that
I'm not a villain.

So what can I say? I mean, I look back
on it and it kills me because I'm just

like, oh, if I just kept it together, I
was going to the end. But it is what it

is. And, you know, I have to move on.
And Russell, damn you.

Courtney, one thing about you, Courtney,
is you always seem to be having fun,

even when it's miserable. Did you have
as much fun this season?

I had a lot of fun. I came in, I came
back, and I had to, like, put myself in

the space of, like, really? Are you
going to go do this? And I was like, you

know what? I'm going to go and have the
best time that I possibly can and just

enjoy it more than I did the first time.
And I did.

Randy, on the flip side.

I knew that was coming. Yeah, you rarely
seem to be having any fun. Did you have

any fun at all this time?

No, not at all.

And sugar on the corner. You go to the
end the first time, and then you're

out the second.

Both sides of the rainbow.

Yeah. Is it still an enjoyable
experience when you only play three

I was not having fun because it rained
so much, and I just didn't feel like I

had a decent alliance.

And one other thing I want to point out,
another celebration, much like Rob and

Amber. Candace delayed, actually
postponed your wedding to do this show.

you came home. I'm looking at a ring.
Did you guys get married? We got

Hold that up. Hold that up. We got
married May 1st.

My husband, John, he's the best.

All right.

Well, for over 20 seasons of Survivor,
we've had...

306 episodes, and we've seen them. We've
done a lot on this show. Take a look at

some of these stats. Listen to this. We
visited 15 countries.

We've had over 300 people play this
game. We've had nearly 500 challenges.

Winners, we've had 11 men, 9 women,
average age 32.

Twice as many single people win as
married, and we're almost dead even when

comes to men and women and how long they
last in the game. So we thought it

might be fun to create the Survivor
prototype.

So we combined all of the people who've
won Survivor.

And we came up with the ultimate player.

And we put all these things together. We
used a little bit from all of the

winners. And take a look at this guy.
That is Richard Hatch's left eyebrow.

That's Sandra's right eyebrow.

That's the earlobes of Parvati. The
dimples of JT. The bottom lip of Tom

Westman. We've got Ethan and Amber's in
there in the nose.

Anyway, if you know this guy, or if you
are this guy, come on to Survivor

because you could win. When we come
back.

and we're still going strong.

Our 21st season begins shooting soon.
Take a look at where Survivor's headed

next.

For the past decade, Survivor has taken
you to the furthest corners of the

planet and subjected over 300
contestants to the harshest environment

the most exhausting conditions.

Join us now.

as we enter a new decade of survival.

This is Nicaragua.

It is a land of impenetrable terrain,
smoldering volcanoes, and

savage wildlife.

Christopher Columbus discovered its
shores over 500 years ago, and for

centuries, Spanish conquistadors set out
to tame this exotic land.

Only to be stopped at every turn by the
expansive rainforest of this Central

American landmark.

A brand new set of survivors, exciting
and innovative challenges, and something

that may surprise them all.

Who will have what it takes to outwit,
outplay, and outlast all the others?

Find out this fall as the adventure
continues on Survivor Nicaragua.

Tomorrow morning, Sandra, Carver, and
Russell will all appear on the early

on CBS, and Sandra will get a check for
a million dollars. If you want to own a

piece of Survivor, the website is on the
screen. The proceeds benefit my

charity, the Serpentine Project.

We'll see you back for the next edition
of Survivor, Nicaragua. Good night.
