The want to write your wrongs.

The need to make your mark.

And to turn your greatest failures

into your greatest success.

24 people have answered the call.

To take to the beaches of Samoa...

...with something to prove.

To play the world's greatest game.

They're not just playing for the title of Sole Survivor,

they're playing to rewrite the story of who they are.

This is Australian Survivor: Redemption.

To me, redemption is something that you can earn

and you can take.

We've all got something to show

and we've all got something to prove.

Like I've always, my whole life,

I've searched for something greater and something better.

And I've always felt like I've come short.

Because I'm stuck in a truck all day. I'm stuck...

...staring at the white lines.

And then I come home and I go to bed

and I wake up and I'm staring at the white lines

like, this is what I need. This is my redemption.

This is what I've been waiting for.

They're here to show they're more than meets the eye.

We all know that there's a stereotype around models.

Hi. Hello.

How are you? Do the big reveal.

Ta-da! Whoo!

You're not as switched on. That you're full of yourself.

Super vain. "Why don't you get a real job?"

But I'm not just a pretty face.

When I sit at that poker table,

I, like, switch into another character.

Swindle.

When Swindle has her game face on,

like, everyone's a target.

They're driven to walk their own path.

I've lived in the shadows of legends my whole life.

I've always been Steve's son

and brother of Mat Rogers, the Godfather.

He played a great game twice

but he didn't take out the title.

So I love you, Mat, but I want that title of Sole Survivor.

You've met the Godfather. Now you're about to meet the Don.

They're ready to take a leap of faith.

Pastors can't play brutal savage game like Survivor.

They're meant to be the nice guys.

But I feel sorry for the people playing against me

'cause I got... I got God.

So these other guys, sorry!

With this epic rain, what's God trying to say?

It's a baptism.

A baptism of water preparing me for this game.

Because I'm here to win.

With all their might and courage,

they're determined to become unbreakable.

The aspect of my life that's prepared me for Survivor

is, I would say, losing my brother to suicide.

Grief completely shatters your life.

It means so much to be out here, to have the opportunity

to redeem my brother's story

and my parents' story.

They lost their child

and I want to show them that...

...they've raised an amazing, resilient, strong daughter...

...that can achieve anything.

And that's what I'm here to do.

I'm here to do it for Mum and Dad.

It's time to turn this story of victimhood

into something about victory.

And here to finish what they started...

...are four returning players.

Back to reclaim their Survivor legacies.

Statistically, I'm one of the worst players

to ever play Australian Survivor.

But we all know that act three is the greatest redemption arc

for any main character.

We get a chance to see them rise from the ashes,

rise to the occasion and...

...to overcome all evil...

...and win.

And that is what I'm here to do.

This will be my great trilogy.

From outsiders to those who have fallen short...

Survivor is my third mid-life crisis.

This one's very different

because it's on a national scale.

...these everyday competitors

are fighting for something greater.

This is for all the other little black girls

who've ever felt like me.

I'm here, girl. I'm ready.

So bring it on, bitches.

And with so much to prove

and only one winner

to make it to the end,

they'll need to let go of regrets,

push through the impossible

and rise from ordinary...

...to legendary.

Who will find redemption

and who will walk away with one more regret?

45 days, 24 players,

one survivor.

Come on in.

Whoa! We actually made it, everybody.

This is crazy.

What's up?

So good.

Wow, few old faces, hey?

Hey!

Fancy seeing you here. Fancy seeing you here.

Well, welcome to Australian Redemption.

Yeah, the Golden God!

For the first time, all 24 of you are entering the game

with a personal mission.

Something to prove or past ills to rectify.

Am I right? Yeah.

Yep.

Flannel right here. What's your name?

GG, I'm Caleb. How are you?

Good, Caleb. I'm really good.

Now, look, the people who need redeeming,

are they always underdogs?

Not necessarily.

They're people who have something to prove.

You really feeling that? You got something to prove?

Oh, hell yeah. I got something to prove to younger Caleb.

This is gonna be a journey.

What would you tell him?

Tell him that we made it this far. This far.

But we haven't gone over that finish line yet,

so that's what we're doing.

Well, it's a big achievement to be here, I can promise you that.

You all earned your place.

That's a nice blazer, mate.

Someone's got to bring some professionalism to the game.

Why are you here?

Everyone's got struggles in their life.

Everyone's a prisoner of their past.

And I think redemption is about buying back your freedom.

And I'm out here to collect the receipts.

Ooh. OK.

Brookey.

Nice of you to give someone else a chance

to get some money this time.

Oh, boy.

The game of Survivor has a way of making you think

about redemption when you torch is stuffed.

Is that the way you feel? Yes, definitely.

I think I've relived a certain challenge

over and over in my head for the last few years.

So I'm here to get rid of that PTSD and just have a fresh mind.

Alright. Woman in the brown hat. How you doing?

I'm good. My name's Faith.

Ah, gotta have faith.

You do. You gotta have me.

How do you feel about playing with returning players?

Um, I'm pretty sure most of them lost

all the seasons that they played, so I'm actually...

...I'm doing great.

Shots fired. Fair call.

Well, it doesn't matter if you played before

or if this is your first time,

with so much on the line,

you're gonna need to play hard, take risks and make your mark...

...if you want to outwit, outplay and outlast all the others...

...and take that title of Sole Survivor...

...and the half a million dollars that goes with it.

And on my side of things,

it's an absolute honour to be here in front of you guys.

I've never been happier to have a front row seat

to what I know is gonna be a great game.

So make it worthwhile.

Let's see some fireworks.

You ready to get to it? Yeah.

Alright. We're gonna need two tribes.

So everyone from Mark

take a step left.

Everyone else take a step right.

And you're gonna need these.

Green tribe.

Purple tribe.

Not a good start. Not a great start.

Oh, my God, I'm actually putting on a buff.

OK, we have a purple tribe and a green tribe

but we've got no names.

That's fun.

'Cause this season

you're gonna have to earn it.

Right now.

Let's go.

Guys, ready? Yeah!

Let's get to your very first reward challenge.

Let's go. Yeah.

For today's challenge,

you're gonna use very heavy blocks

to build a giant pyramid.

Then push it along a track,

allowing one of you to grab a hanging key.

That person will race out and unlock a torch.

When the pyramid is at the end of the track,

your torch bearer will race back,

light a fireball which will ignite a cauldron.

First tribe to ignite that cauldron

wins reward.

You wanna know what you're playing for?

Yeah! Show us.

The winners of today's challenge will become the Bounty Tribe.

Ooh!

OK. Oh, we need this.

You'll live on beautiful bounty beach.

Oh! No way. No way!

Decked out with all the survivor mod cons.

Fruit and veg, a hammock. Oh, my God.

A fully stocked fire pit.

We need this.

And an all-important flint.

And to top it all off, a fully built shelter.

What?!

We got this, we got this.

So, guys, that is a huge first-day advantage

and a big step towards redemption.

Wow, wow. Wow.

The losers will become the Barren Tribe.

And you will get zip. Zero. Nada.

And as our returning players know,

that's not a good place to start.

No.

Worth playing for? Yes!

Let's go.

Alright. I'll give you a minute to strategise

and then we'll fire it up.

Alright, let's go. Let's do this.

For reward...

We got this. Let's go. Come on, come on, guys. Big energy.

Survivors ready?

Yes, sir.

Go! Let's go. Come on.

You have to get those heavy blocks onto your platform

to build a three-level pyramid.

One, two, three. Go, go.

Mark and Johnson pushing it together.

Push, push, push. And lift.

Yes, cowboy.

Don doing it by himself.

He's strong. Big effort.

Got another big one here.

Clearly some good strategy by green.

Bring that one this side. Left.

Get on there as well.

Lot of good teamwork from purple.

Lovely, lovely, girls. Good job, Cameron!

Really good. Alright, flip it around.

180.

Harry taking charge on the puzzle.

They only go together in one way.

Those colours and patterns need to line up.

It's not right. This needs to go in this corner.

That needs to be flipped around.

Green, they've got the speed

but they don't have the communication.

Now, this looks right.

You reckon? This needs to go there.

You need to have all your pieces locked in on that first level

before you can move the second level up.

Purple onto the second level!

You're doing so well, guys. Good job.

Just right up here, guys.

Guys, pivot to the back.

To the back, to the back. Get it neat, get it neat!

Green had a huge lead early. Quick, quick.

And now purple's taking over this challenge.

Let's go. Let's go!

Purple getting a big lead here.

Guys, you're doing so well.

You're falling behind, green. Let's go.

Lift, Keeley, lift! Quick, get it up there.

Everyone down to the bottom.

Get ready to push, guys. Breathe, breathe.

Good job. Down, down, down.

You're good, purple. Start pushing.

Puuuush!

Shit!

Oh, that is a heavy platform.

Three, two, one, push! Push!

Holy moly.

You have to push it along the track so you can reach your key.

Swap with me! Daniel, you go on the rail.

Three, two, one, push!

Three, two, one.

Purple heaving.

Three, two, one, push.

Greens almost got their top level done.

Oh, you're wrong. You gotta fix something.

Not right. It's not right. Yellows go in the middle!

You're good, green. Let's go!

You've got so much ground to catch up.

Three, two, one, push!

You do not want to be Barren!

Push!

Almost there.

Three, two, one!

Use the footing, guys. Use the wooden footing.

Push! Purple almost at the key.

One more, one more. Go!

You're good, purple. Go, go, go!

Guys, we're so far ahead.

Aisha's got the key.

Run, Lyndl, Lyndl.

Run! Run, Lyndl!

And Lyndl's off! Heading for the torch.

You got this! Keep pushing.

Green is struggling right now.

Need one person. One person count to three.

You do it, go. Three, two, one, push!

That's it!

Green, finally getting some momentum.

Three, two, one...

Push!

Lyndl can't bring back that torch

until you guys are at the end of the track.

Three, two, one, push!

Whoa! Keep going, keep going!

Wow. Purple getting a big lead here.

Go!

Purple all the way at the end.

Lyndl lights her torch.

C'mon, guys, don't give up. Let's go.

Three, two, one!

Get up there.

Drink it in. Drink it in!

Yeah.

Ben, why aren't you pushing?

Nice.

That's it. Purple tribe wins Bounty.

Sending green to Barren.

Wow. That is so good.

What?

This is amazing.

Bounty! Let's go!

Bounty Tribe is where it's at.

We have a shelter already built.

There's fruit. Big old fire pit.

Bounty till I die.

Well done, everyone.

Bounty! Bounty! Bounty!

Bounty! Bounty!

It worries me a little bit

that we got some returnees in the tribe, but it's like...

...big dog's in the house.

Like it's gonna be fine.

Me? Yeah.

I'm Jackson, I'm 24, and I'm a pro wrestler.

Hi, I'm Eliza. I'm 34 years old from Sydney

and I'm a comedy writer and a historian.

Oh, sick.

I'm Paula. Hello. I'm from Perth, WA.

I'm an emergency and critical care vet nurse.

I'm Lauren, but my mates call me Loz.

Yeah, Loz. Loz.

Got two kids. And at the moment, I'm mum life.

So Indigo is nearly 12. Isabel's 14.

I'm Richard, I'm 46, from Sydney.

I've got two teenage daughters.

I campaigned for healthcare reform in Australia.

I'm Lottie.

I'm the girl from the bush.

Everyone underestimates the people from the bush.

I started painting 14 months ago, completely self-taught.

I actually failed art in high school.

But the paintings are selling in like, seconds.

Sold a painting to Gigi Hadid

and she gifted it to her sister, Bella Hadid.

So I kind of got the Hadid sandwich, which was fun.

People think it's all luck

but I want to prove to me

that you're not just a simpleton from the bush.

You're not a girl that's just lucky all the time.

I've got mongrel in me

and that's what makes me dangerous.

I'm Harry. I'm 36.

I think some of you might know me.

The way people were talking.

I am a little bit worried.

'Dirty Harry'. I'm the only person with an actual moniker.

I think the other players will be screaming in their heads

They'll be going, "Oh, no. He's here."

So right now, I'm trying to downplay the threat level.

You're here with your favourite Australian Survivor.

I'm not gonna vote you out.

Everyone seems really nice. I know.

Like, it's gonna make it really hard to actually like...

for someone...

I know!

And then we vote them out.

Because there's things that I need to fix from six years ago.

Champions vs Contenders II.

It was the top three final challenge,

the longest challenge in Australian Survivor history.

I was the loser of that.

I tried.

Was voted out right before I got a chance

to pitch to the final jury.

So redemption for me

is bulldozing my way through this game.

Final Tribal Council, win half a million dollars.

Do you reckon it's an advantage or a disadvantage

being a second timer?

I reckon they'll have a target on their back.

Yeah, I reckon disadvantage 100%.

Like they'll know stuff that we don't know.

I absolutely want to target Harry and Simon.

I don't want to take them to the end.

Yeah. Yeah, that's not too bad.

Yeah.

Returning players are absolutely dangerous

and we don't need both.

I'm moments from falling out.

Oh, my God. Smooth move.

Do you have, like, a slogan as like a pro wrestler?

Yeah. What is it?

I run this jungle.

I run this joint.

It's good having you on our tribe.

Well, you got a bundle of joy. Haven't you.

I'm here.

My prayers have been answered.

I'm here in Samoa playing the greatest game.

Thank you, Lord.

You're from France originally?

France? No. Where'd you get that?

You sound French. That's why!

England?! You have a baguette tattooed on you.

Everyone just seems so lovely. Like, so beautiful.

Uh... Um...

Um, I've already forgotten your name again.

My name's Eliza. Eliza!

Yeah. I was, like, trying to go over everyone's names.

Eliza, Daniel, Lyndl.

I'm so bad with names.

So we're just getting some coconuts.

Hey.

Me and Simon are both two-time players

and we've got ten other people here who've never played before.

We're targets here.

Pretty much, if we just never are in the same conversations...

Just need to divide and conquer, man.

So that they can't talk about us without

at least there being like a reasonable likelihood

that we're gonna be there.

Also, don't ever share this with anyone.

Yep. You can just use code.

Something's not going OK.

If you tell me that the rice is great, tastes...

Fantastic. I'm down for that.

...then strategically we're going well.

Yeah. Sounds good.

Simon's valuable to me. I need a shield.

And I need other people who are gonna be threats.

There's no way that I can survive

with just the little tiny mouses scurrying around.

I've got people that stand out as players

like you will because you're a big dude.

Yeah.

And so for anyone who's a big player,

it's really, really good to have a couple of returnees.

I want an alliance, basically,

and it would be nice to have one with intelligent people.

Yep.

That are also willing to, like, disagree.

I'm happy for that.

You're gonna have a target on your back a little bit,

but I think it's awesome that you've done this before,

because, yeah, you know the tricks, I wanna learn from you.

And I can be your eyes and your ears.

Let's do it.

Do I wanna work with Harry? Do I not wanna work with Harry?

I feel like I wanna work with Harry.

It's gonna be a big decision.

But right now, what's banging around in my head,

what have I found about the challenge today?

I don't know what this scroll says.

"Congratulations. You found a clue to a hidden immunity idol.

"But to get it, you'll need to be bold.

"The idol is buried under the tribe flag

"in plain view of the camp."

Crap! OK.

How am I gonna get it?! Oh, no.

Oh, my God.

The camp has absolutely nothing in it.

It needs more than a little. Needs a lot.

It absolutely sucks to be called Barren.

It's like you're the chewing gum on the bottom of your thong.

It's that bad. It's the... It's the worst.

Alright.

I'm so excited!

My name is Ben Nabea Davis.

I am a proud Sabai and Waiben Islander man

from the Torres Strait.

Used to play footy. Was at Adelaide for six years

on their list and played a massive 20 games. 11 as subs.

It definitely didn't get the flick because I was terrible.

Hi, everyone. I'm Keeley.

I work in fraud prevention and anti-financial crime.

I'm Faith. I am a chef

and I run a catering company with my husband who's a chef.

And fun fact, I have five kids and I homeschool them all.

Yeah. That's what I do.

Hi, everyone. My name is Johnson.

I work in construction. I'm a consultant/contractor.

My name is Eleftherios but you can call me Tez.

I'm 1 in 6, massive Greek family.

And my oldest sister is like, 21 years older than me.

You're the baby baby.

Yeah, she could be my mum. Everybody. Oldest brother.

My name's Don. I'm a country music artist.

Looking around the tribe, you know, I do see good people.

But the first rule about being Mat's brother

is we don't say we're Mat's brother.

Mat played an awesome game of Survivor

so that'll just paint a target on my back.

So should we, uh, build a home?

Well, you know what? We might be Barren,

but the only thing the other Bounty tribe got

that we don't have is a roof and some fruit.

And a flint and a rope. Shut up, shut up!

I've been called worse.

I think right now my game play is to take a leadership role

in establishing a base camp.

OK, let's do that. Let's get some fronds.

Whoa, brother.

It's not that bad! I don't know why we're calling it Barren!

We've got everything.

We should crack a coconut.

Have something to drink?

Watch your head, watch your head, watch your head.

The thing is, starting with nothing is like actual survivor.

It's actual surviving.

We have to make our own fire.

We have to make our own shelter.

And I love it.

Standing on its own which is good.

Oh, my God.

Can we talk about Don? Because this shelter.

I'm like, I've made a shelter before.

This isn't my first rodeo.

Should we dig it in, just to be safe?

Why don't we lash it on the floor.

It won't fall.

So I want to stay dry.

I want a nice shelter.

But also, I don't want to get in trouble with old Donskey.

There we go. Now we're talking.

Are you?

Hold on. Well, I'm clean skin. I love tattoos.

I'm obsessed. Do you?

But I'm just like, I don't know.

A whole lot of people doing a whole lot of nothing.

Oh, my God!

Are you serious? I call him roo boy.

I am not wasting a drop of sweat on the shelter.

I'm here for the people.

I feel like...

Cool.

Cool.

I am here for redemption and vengeance.

This place is haunted.

Come on.

I look around the jungle and I see ghosts.

I see ghosts of dead allies.

People who were working with me.

People who put their trust in me.

My dead allies got cut because I wasn't cutthroat enough.

I've learned my lesson.

This time I am throwing the rule book out.

I ain't making those mistakes again.

I'm evil this time.

And if you're against me, you better bloody be careful.

Do you wanna jump on my shoulders. Can you tie?

Jump on.

Are you good? Yep.

Has to be really strong, if you can make it waterproof as well

while you're up there, that'd be really good.

Tez. Tez, hold that hat, Tez.

If you can't tie knots, tie lots, hey?

Don't crush that hat. Hey, Tez. Whoa, whoa, buddy, buddy.

That's the first and last time you ever hold my hat.

Can you put my hat down over there somewhere.

On its crown, please, not on its brim.

Maybe here. Anyway.

You're just never holding it again.

How you act today is really important.

It's your first impression.

Ooh! Get you a snack.

Can't hear anything in this one.

I'm really good at reading people. I go on my gut instinct.

I've always trusted it.

So I really just got a vibe.

Like, who will accept me and who will be threatened by me?

Five children! I can't believe that.

I know we were just gobsmacked. Oh, my God.

No-one likes me. I had to make them.

I know when I meet people, people already have a picture.

Mum of five. Homeschooled.

But it's gonna work in my favour

'cause no-one is gonna see me coming.

Spent my life living a really rebellious sort of life.

And with that has come a lot of judgement towards my parents

and then towards me.

I grew up playing music

in a travelling country music family band.

So when you're ten years old

and you have to play another two hours

and you're tired as hell,

you know I'm gonna put on my happy face and you do it.

There is no limit to how far I can push myself

when things are hard.

So I'm here to prove there is not one path to live your life.

And there's not one way to win this game.

I'm here to tell my redemption story

and I'm here to be the Sole Survivor.

It's gonna be a tough night tonight, but I'm just happy

we've got some sort of semblance of a structure,

you know what I'm saying?

I just wanna make sure it's not gonna fall over in the night.

That's solid, mate.

I've had enough.

Ah, good night.

This time round, I want to move extremely fast...

...to find the people that I want to work with.

And I'm gonna grab them by the scruff of the neck

and I'm gonna say, "You are with me.

I've been dying to talk to you. I know you were.

Everyone wants a piece of Mark.

And something about Faith is just screaming at me.

You are like, I really want you to know,

like how much I want to work with you.

Yeah. I'm keen. It's strong.

Yeah. I'm keen.

You know, I really want to play a fun, fun, fun game.

Yes, yes. A rebel game. With a bit of, like, chaos.

Yeah.

Cool. Yeah.

Faith and I share an interesting taste

in punk rock music.

Yeah? Love it. Yeah, let's do it.

Yeah. The Ruby Soho alliance.

It's an iconic punk song.

It's bold, it's brash, it's awesome.

That is the perfect alliance.

Ruby Soho for the win! Ruby Soho.

This is the start of something powerful.

Nice little alliance with some tough women -

that'll do me well.

It's so good. This is so relaxing.

It is good.

If I get a clue about something hidden, like an idol,

I am going to find it. Whatever I have to do.

It's not here.

Going to have to get some help, I think.

Deep inside me, I really don't want to tell anyone.

I feel like that is always the safest.

But it's gonna be very difficult

to find this idol on my own.

Loz and I had been kind of getting closer.

She's such a sweetheart.

Yes!

This is sick.

OK. What does it say?

"Congratulations.

"You have found a hidden immunity idol

"but its power is limited.

"This idol only holds power when played by a Barren tribe mate

"at Barren tribal council." Holy smokes!

OK. "However, there is a Bounty idol at the Barren beach

"in the exact same spot."

How am I gonna do this?!

I don't know anyone in the other tribe.

But at the challenge today,

I really want to try and make some kind of connection.

I got to get a bit clever. I can do clever.

Oh, are you? Yeah.

What?! How does that even...?

No! Someone call...

Mine was just I can make a noise with my hands.

Oh, that's fun. That's cool.

My party trick - reciting lines of Shakespeare.

Oh!

A play there is, my lord,

some ten words long,

which is as brief as I have known to make.

But by ten words, my Lord, it is too long,

which makes it tedious.

For all the play there is not one word apt,

not one player fitted.

That's awesome.

If we lose the immunity challenge today,

I've got problems.

If I'm a new player and I'm looking for a big scalp,

the first thing that I'm doing is voting out Dirty Harry.

Little chit chat? Little chit chat.

The challenge doesn't go favourably today,

we don't really know where to go or what to do.

Yeah.

Might just end up being who's the least socially connected

so that we can come back and not have like a massive blow up

or something.

What a nerd.

Come on in.

This looks tough.

Oh, no. Hell.

Look how high this thing is.

Oh, it's mud.

We get dirty today, boys.

David, what have you done?!

What have you cooked up for us today?

And here comes Barren.

Let's go.

This looks fun.

OK. We're literally back for redemption this time.

Guys, game faces, huh?

Tell them we built a shelter.

Good morning! Morning.

How are we? Good, good.

You guys are fresh as a daisy.

Yeah.

So, Simon, the last time you played Survivor,

it looked a little bit different to your first 24 hours.

This time, you've come into a fully built camp.

How does that feel? It's actually a game-changer.

Um, I think the last time I was here on Villains Beach,

we had three hot meals in ten days.

And yeah, I've already had two meals in less than 24 hours.

So...

I actually don't think these guys know how good they have it.

Um, we bought some, actually.

We did. Oh, I forgot.

I forgot about this.

A little bit of snacking. A little pre challenge.

Just pre... Some pre workout

for the big obstacle course ahead.

Oh, some bananas. Oh.

That is cold blooded!

Certainly one to remember.

It's your birthday!

Oh, that is a offering.

Caleb, it's your birthday?

Happy birthday, man. Thank you, Dave.

Happy birthday!

Alright,

you guys ready to get to your first immunity challenge?

Yes! Let's do it.

For today's challenge...

...you'll work together to lift three heavy wheels

up and over high poles.

You'll then transport those wheels over a ramp,

under a net and up into the tower.

Finally, you'll roll those wheels down a steep ramp

into three narrow gates.

First tribe to land all their wheels into those gates...

...wins immunity.

Light work.

And this... Let's see it.

...the tribal idol.

The tree of life. Wow!

The tree of life.

This is what you want. Gorgeous.

Because when it's in your possession,

you are guaranteed safety in this game.

Without it,

you'll join me tonight at Tribal Council,

where one of you will become the first person voted out

of Australian Survivor: Redemption.

An honour nobody wants.

Trust me.

Alright, I'll give you a moment to strategise

and then let's roll.

Alright, here we go.

For immunity.

Let's go, guys.

Survivors ready?

Go!

You have to get those three wheels up over the pole.

Up, up, up!

Over. Lift, lift, lift.

Straight to the front. Straight to the front.

Front. Let's go. Let's go. Drop, drop. Move.

Easy. Easy.

Bounty out to a quick lead.

There we go. Get the first one ready.

Barren... Go, go, go.

...falling behind early.

Drop, drop, drop. Let's go.

Bounty has all three wheels.

That's alright. Put it down, Harry.

You're good, Bounty!

Gotta move all of your wheels up and over the ramp.

Go. Push! Push!

Go, go, go.

Barren moving their first wheel up.

Both sides. We need people. People.

Let's go! Come on!

Push. Momentum. Momentum.

Keep it moving! Keep it moving!

Keep your legs moving. Keep moving up the ramp. Up the ramp!

Push!

Barren, desperate to prove themselves.

Go, push it.

Drop.

And the wheels are coming down. First one.

Let's go!

Three, two, one.

Bounty with their second wheel.

Go again. Go again.

Don't worry. Don't panic. Don't panic. Don't panic.

Push. Push!

You're good, Bounty.

Go. Take a breath.

All three wheels. They need to get them under the net.

I'm pushing it in three, two, one.

Let's go, everyone. You're good, Barren!

Go, go. One, two, three, pull!

C'mon, we're on. We're on.

Barren, already under the net.

Johnson pulling.

Pull! Don pulling.

It's neck and neck. This is so tight!

Let's go. Pull.

Go back round? Yeah, let's go back.

Oh!

You right? Yeah.

Lift it up. Get it out of the mud.

Yeah, out of the mud. Pull.

One, two, three.

Ben, Ben, use the stump for leverage.

Lift it. Don't drag. Lift!

Bit of strategy there from Bounty.

Bounty lifting instead of dragging.

Lift it! Lift!

You're good, Bounty. Go!

You're good, Barren.

We need someone up top.

We need people up there! Need people up there. Let's go.

Bounty, moving their first wheel up.

Ready? One, two, three.

Next one ready!

Get up there. Go.

One, two, three, lift.

You need all of your tribe mates to the top of the tower

and all of your wheels.

Bounty has their first.

Mark, focusing on getting members up first.

Caleb's up.

Let's go! Three, two, one.

Bounty has their second on the second level.

Barren falling behind now.

Go, go, go.

That's it. Next one.

One, two, three.

Wait, wait, wait.

Blanche taking charge.

One, two, three, lift.

Bounty with their third wheel.

Three, two, one!

They're up. You're good. Bounty, you need your tribe up the top.

Good job.

One, two, three.

Barren, you lost reward, you do not want to lose immunity.

Jonson at the bottom.

Jackson with an arm on him.

All those people have to be on top of the tower

before you can start rolling!

You're good, Bounty. Let's go!

Make sure it's flush. Let's go! Push.

It's no good.

Go, go, next one.

Go. Go.

That's in!

Bounty miss their second.

Next one, straightaway. Line it up well.

Barren are lining it up.

Have a look at the back.

They can make up for lost ground right here.

Go, Benny.

Yes!

No, it's not.

Nice and quick.

Hold on. Line it up. Line it up. Take your time.

Listen, guys, stop, stop.

I've done this before.

Mark taking control of Barren tribe now.

Get the point right to the edge.

Line it up. Line it up. Right on the edge.

Go, go, go. Quick, quick, quick.

Come on.

No!

Two people to retrieve the wheels.

Two people. Stay up. Stay up.

Opens the door for Barren to get back in here.

Let me pull it. I've got it.

Go, go, go. I'm waiting.

Take your time. He can take his time.

Take your time, mate. We got time.

That's it, baby. Nice, nice, nice.

It's good! Barren has one!

Just here, just here.

No, that's good.

Everyone, get ready. Get a bit of rope back here.

Pull! Pull!

Harry, beast mode, pulling that wheel back up.

Harry! You're a tank!

Mark, lining it up.

You got it, Marky.

You got this.

Come on, Mark. You got it, buddy.

Barren hits their second!

Go, go, go.

Barren lead 2-0.

It's OK. It's OK. It's OK.

C'mon, Bounty, you gotta keep moving.

What's it caught on?

There's a lot of confusion up on Bounty.

They cannot get the rope off.

Hey, just tie it once next time.

Once.

This is a big mistake.

Go, go, go, boys.

The door is wide open for Barren now.

They need to hit one more shot.

Get it in line. Get it in line.

No, turn it.

Lay it front. Lay it front.

Don putting in that work!

Hand over hand. Nice.

Go, go, go!

Pull!

Pull! Go, go, go.

Pull!

This could be it.

They'll miss. They'll miss. We have time.

Don't give up, guys. Yeah, don't give up, guys.

Bit more. Bit more. Bit more.

Barren can close it out right now.

Pull! Pull!

You got it, Marky.

Yeah!

Barren wins immunity,

sending Bounty to Tribal Council tonight.

Enjoy your bananas!

Very well done. Nice to meet you anyway.

Nice to meet you too. I know.

Barren, who needs reward when you've got immunity?

Come and grab the idol.

Well done. Thank you.

I should have put some candles in it for you.

Caleb's birthday and all. Caleb, where is he?

Happy birthday, buddy!

All of you are safe tonight. Well done.

Head back to camp.

Alright, Bounty. See you tonight at Tribal Council,

where one of you will become the first person

voted out of this game.

Grab your gear. See you tonight.

That feels great. Doesn't it?

There's two directions from rock bottom.

You can dig further down, it just gets worse.

Or you can lift yourself up.

And that's what the Barren Tribe did.

We've lifted ourselves up and we smoked 'em.

And that is redeeming in itself.

We smoked them all the way up to the...

I know, up to eight...

Like, they honestly just got lucky.

Yeah.

How the table turns.

Yesterday, everyone at camp thinking we were the big dogs,

winning the reward.

But now, obviously, we've lost the challenge

it is a totally different vibe now.

I don't know. But I'm open to any idea.

I haven't got a name yet but I've got who I wanna work with.

I've got the flint.

We'll just go fill up at the well.

Can I come with you to the well with y'all?

Yeah. Let's go.

At this early stage,

it is so hard to figure out

where people are actually sitting.

Alright, so, uh, we need a name.

Um, no-one wants to be the person to pull the trigger

for the first name.

Well, someone's gonna have to. Yeah.

I'm personally wanting to keep the two previous players around

for longer.

I agree. Really good help.

Like... I'm keen for that!

He's right here, guys.

Sorry. I said the name in front of him. No.

OK.

Anyone want to offer up a name? Anyone?

Anyone thinking of anybody?

Anyone on anyone's radar?

No-one's on my radar. It's just kind of...

Going off who I've spoken to the least, which sucks.

Um...

...I guess I haven't spoken to Rich much.

OK.

Are we agreeing on Rich? For now, yeah.

Yeah, I think it's a great, solid start.

Do you know what I think happened?

This morning, Harry said Richard's name

and he was just putting it out there, I guess,

planting the seed in people's minds.

And it worked because I was like, "What about Richard?"

I don't know, is that like a Dirty Harry move?

Yeah.

Yeah.

But it was just because we love everyone.

It's hard. It's hard. Everyone loves everyone.

So it's really difficult.

Oh, no, no. No way, no way, no way.

This series of Survivor is about redemption.

If you want to redeem yourself,

you don't redeem yourself by following somebody else.

How's your water looking?

Probably needs a top up.

You redeem yourself by reinventing yourself.

And I've never met someone that wants to reinvent themself

as a sheep.

How are you feeling?

Um, it's hard to have reasons for people right now.

I'm thinking Jackson.

He's strong. He's strong...

You gotta think long. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Big move like this at the start then we can settle a bit.

Yeah. I'm good with that. Alright. I'm cool too.

Sweet.

I want to go for the big boys.

'Cause me, I'm a big boy in a medium-sized boy's body.

Yeah. So there's no room for all us big boys around there.

Redemption for me is a must.

I am an MMA fighter with a negative record.

I have two wins and four losses.

I need to win the ultimate fight.

The hardest fight there is - the title of Sole Survivor.

So I'm here to make big moves.

Really? Jackson, big boy early,

big move.

Get what I'm saying? But that's the plan.

OK. OK.

One hit. Look out.

Pot is here. Oh.

At this Tribal, I'm excited.

I signed up to play Survivor.

I didn't sign up to get a tan on a glorious beach.

People have been, like, trying to say some names and...

But everyone's been, like, dancing. I'm just like...

I think Survivor guys...

But the reality is we lost.

And so Richard's going home.

Um, so...

I...I vocalised like

I really wanna keep Simon and Harry around.

'Cause not only are you guys awesome...

Um...

But also like, yeah, we want to learn from you.

Um, yeah. Thank you.

Daniel wants to keep the returning boys.

I don't want to do that.

OK.

What are you doing?

He's too excited.

He needs to simmer.

Some names that I heard thrown out...

Yep. ...um, was Jackson.

Sorry. Not Jackson, the other... I always say the wrong name!

Jesus Christ!

What's the guy...? Richard.

Now I feel like a jerk.

Jesus take the wheel for Daniel.

Earlier, I pointed to him to you.

Yeah. Pointed to the right person.

Something has to happen here.

We gotta do something about Daniel.

Oh. Yeah.

What's going on, bro?

Oh, it's just the scramble time. Apparently.

Yeah. This is, this is, this is it.

I just think... I dunno.

I reckon Daniel's a liability, man.

Um...

Where is my water bottle?

Daniel told

Simon and Jackson and I that it was Richard

was the vote at the fire with Richard there.

And he was like...

Oh, God.

So do you think he's more of a liability?

100%. OK.

Loose lips and just... Not chill.

Nup.

I was hell bent on getting Harry out

but Daniel just made himself such an easy target.

He's too excited. Love him. Yeah.

He's sweet as pie. Genuinely. He is so excited.

But he's too excited that he wants to play with everyone.

Yeah, OK.

OK.

Daniel is gonna need

the heavens to literally open...

...and save him.

Because everyone now has Daniel on the radar.

Simon will probably put down whoever he gets told.

I'm putting down whoever I get told.

Yep.

You wanna run a split?

What is it?

It'll have to be a very small split.

It would probably be like two on, like, Loz or something,

'cause she would be the less likely to flip out.

She would be understanding when we get back to camp

and be like, "I know why you did that."

Yeah.

So it was gonna be on Richard but now,

there's just a certainty in the air.

People are just saying Daniel.

Yeah, we have a name. Yeah.

Yep.

It's not a name that I threw out

but I'm absolutely happy to write down the name Daniel

if it keeps my hands clean and it's not me.

Um, guys are saying... Now I'm gonna get the name wrong. Um...

I went and said the wrong name.

The guy. The older guy. What's his name? It is...

Rich? Richard.

Well, we've heard names floating around.

There was, like, Loz and Richie.

Oh.

Obviously, we couldn't pitch Loz's name early at the well

because she was with us. Yes.

Um, so... Is that who you want, though?

Um, I would rather Loz. Yeah, OK.

Honestly? Yeah.

Yeah.

I am, I'm genuinely open.

I think it's just what's the most important thing is to me

is that there's, like a unity.

Yep. Yeah.

Really? Daniel?

That sucks. Yeah.

Really? Mm.

OK.

Jackson is the plan.

But right now, there are a couple of names circling

so I need to get a couple more people

to be hearing what I'm saying

and hopefully make a move with me.

You think?

Let me know what Lyndl says?

Yeah. Yeah. How are you feeling?

Yeah, it just sucks. I like everyone so much.

Yeah, I know. It sucks.

It's OK. It'll be OK.

Jackson's like a pretty juicy target.

There's potential to do something semi big

and I wanted to see where your head would be at.

I'm always open to ideas.

I want Simon to work with me

because he has been on the bad side of blindsides many times

and I think he's hungry to be on the right side of a blindside.

You feel like doing something a bit crazy?

You do? A little bit, yeah.

OK. but, who are we talking?

Man, can I trust ya? 100%.

Yes. That's what I'm saying.

Like, it's like the last... You know?

Sucks because this is people's dream

to be on the show and we're just, like,

throwing someone's dream, like, in the fire.

So it's just like... It's pretty rough.

Yeah. First gone is the worst

and it's always over the dumbest reasons as well.

I know that Daniel's name is getting thrown out,

but I'm confident that Jackson's on the chopping block.

If Jackson was watching this right now...

...I'll hit him with one of those crazy wrestling promos.

Let him know that he's not safe.

You can run, but you can't hide!

I'm coming for you, man.

Alright, behind each of you is a torch.

Go ahead and grab one.

Come forward. Dip it in and get fire.

This is part of the ritual of Tribal Council

where fire represents your life in the game.

Once it's gone,

so are you.

Alright.

So, Lyndl,

welcome to everyone's first Tribal Council.

How does it feel to be here for the first time?

It's bittersweet, David.

You know, day one, we came in red-hot

and we won that challenge.

Had a beautiful tribe home set up for us when we got there.

We're on cloud nine.

And then to lose the challenge today was gut-wrenching.

We didn't want to end up here.

Harry, not your first Tribal Council.

No, not my first time here.

How does it compare this time to your last time playing Survivor?

I mean, we're looking at...

I mean, it's the elephant in the room, right?

It's like you've got two returnees

and you've got other people, and it's their first time here.

I don't really see it as being this gigantic difference

because there's only two of us.

Like, how are we gonna make a majority, right?

I'm really looking to just find my people

and try and just sort of play

the way that I just want to play, basically.

Um...

...you know, I was really surprised at how,

uh, Simon and Harry really wanted

to give us our best first Survivor experience.

I'm really grateful that we have them.

Oh, that's really nice.

Daniel, was this one big family?

Um, it sure seems to be at the moment.

Like one big church, one big family,

this congregation in my little eyes.

Everyone here deserves to be here.

Everyone here is epic.

And we all deserve a shot at redemption.

We've all got a story to tell.

But someone's story is stopping tonight.

Jackson, when he said everyone here is epic,

you gave me a big nod.

Bro, everyone here is mad!

Like, I've been popping with everyone.

But we're not just here to have fun and pop at Survivor.

We're not just here for like, the 500,000 other reasons.

We're here for our own personal redemption

and that feels really, really special.

And it's upsetting that we have to sit here.

And 'cause if I went home tonight,

I'm not feeling redeemed at all.

And to send someone on that journey

to go look for it elsewhere and not get it here, it...

...feels a little... bad.

Well, there's 12 people here all wanting redemption.

So how do you decide

whose redemption is more important than someone else's?

I think at this stage, we're all trying to...

...get to know each other better.

It's been less than 48 hours

and you can't ever truly get to know someone

in that short space of time.

It takes a lot more. And so right now,

we're all acting on instinct.

And instincts can sometimes be wrong.

Jackson,

did you hear any names going around this afternoon?

I did hear my name said to my face.

To your face? Straight to my face. Yeah.

Who was that? It was...

Oh, I get...

I'm so bad with names.

Like, so bad with names.

And I just like intending to say

a completely different human being's name

and just said his.

What name were you gonna say?

I can't say that here.

Just checking.

I'm not that... Well, I am a bit sloppy, obviously.

But I'm not this sloppy to do it here.

Alright, so Cameron, season about redemption.

Yes. Talk to me. How important is it

that you can make your mark on this vote?

Oh, I think it's super important to make your mark.

I wouldn't go too crazy too early,

but, yeah, definitely wanna make a mark.

Lottie, do you agree with that?

I think this early in the game,

everyone's a bit scared to pull the trigger on anything crazy.

So I feel like, honestly,

you, you go with the mob and you try and suss out

what everyone's feeling.

I think there's a huge difference between

a big move and the right move.

And that timing has got to be perfect

to pull it off.

And tonight, for me, I don't think that's it.

The timing's not it for a big move?

No. Not right. I don't think we need it now.

And I'm still not sure what a big move looks like in this.

I mean, that's a good question.

Simon, what is a big move look like?

I don't like the sound of that.

People talk about big moves on day two.

No, mate, I've only been on the receiving end of big moves.

So, um... Read it as you would.

I mean, I'm looking at Simon and me as being, like, the big move.

I mean, I don't really see it as being this big scalp,

to be honest. Like, we're still just two guys

that have the same amount of votes as anyone else here.

Aisha, what are you basing your vote on tonight?

Um...

...I guess my vote tonight is about

further into my game

about who I feel like I can trust properly.

Harry, how do you think this tribe will be different

after tonight's vote?

Well, I'm hoping we'll be more unified.

Um, but judging from some of the comments, I don't know.

We'll have to see how it actually plays out.

Alright.

Let's find out how unified this tribe is.

It's time to vote.

Alright.

Let's find out how unified this tribe is.

It's time to vote.

Jackson. You're up.

Sorry, bro.

You had to go.

Daniel, you're up.

Today I'm voting Loz. Sorry.

Lyndl.

Alright, I'll count the votes.

If anyone has a hidden immunity idol

and would like to play it,

now would be the time to do so.

Alright. I'll read the votes.

First vote...

Daniel.

That's one vote Daniel. One vote Loz.

Daniel.

Daniel.

Daniel.

Daniel.

That's five votes Daniel. One vote Loz.

Daniel.

First person voted out of Australian Survivor: Redemption

Daniel.

Seven votes. That's enough.

You need to bring me your torch.

That's me. All good.

Think you'd be able to leave your jacket

to keep us warm?

Oh!

I'll get you a new one.

Screw it. Let's do it.

Yeah! I'll wear it proudly.

Thank you.

Class act, Daniel.

Yeah. Remember me by that jacket, guys.

I'll do you proud, mate. I promise.

Daniel, the tribe has spoken.

Yes. They have.

It's time for you to go. Thanks, guys.

You're amazing. See ya, mate.

That's rough, hey? It's horrible.

Well, you think you'll find redemption

by following the crowd,

your journey might already be over.

Grab your torches. Head on out.

This season...

I came out here to win this goddamn game.

...the road to redemption...

Being brother of the Godfather, Mat Rogers,

that's where I get that competitive drive.

...is paved with blood, sweat...

Ben, giving it everything!

...and blindsides.

Gah!

Exactly what I wanted! A big player, out.

In this game...

I've got this urge to do terrible things.

...glory waits for no-one.

Yes. I'm driving the bus.

I'm not buying that at all.

Who will rise?

Just one moment, David.

...and become Sole Survivor?

The jungles of Samoa are haunted.

I'm not underestimating this tribe.

I'm gutted.

I think I was doing really well until the scramble.

And I'm so forgetful with names,

I just blurted out...

I can't even remember his name now. Is it Richard or is it...?

Nup. It's gone.

It's just... Your lips are too loose.

Sorry.

I felt awful writing Loz's name down.

I just knew it was gonna get harder and harder and harder.

Half of me is like I just got saved from a world of pain.

But the other half of me is like

I'm missing out on this adventure!

Did I find redemption? Well, thing is,

I'm already redeemed through Christ.
