JONATHAN LAPAGLIA: It is time to drop your bombs.

Previously on Australian Survivor...

We are switching things up.

Tribe swap threw alliances into chaos.

A lot of my allies have ended up over at Le Brawn.

We may be in a bit of a spot of bother.

With a tribe stacked with OG Brawn...

Yeah, he does. Yeah.

..the new Brain tribe delivered a standout performance.

On the new intellectual Brawn tribe...

I'm down for a lot, bro.

If you vote Logan, I'm on your side.

..AJ convinced Rich to turn on his own.

I find that really exciting.

But Ursula and Noonan's ongoing feud...

I can't trust you.

..saw a last-minute change of plan.

The Brawns don't have the numbers.

I'm going to have to throw Rich under the bus and change the vote.

We're now going to go with them to go with Rich.

Boo!

At tribal council...

Let's forget tribal lines.

Forget tribal lines?

Yeah.

..Ursula fired her warning shot...

This is for writing my name down.

..while the rest of the tribe...

Sixth person voted out of Brains versus Brawn...

..Rich.

Oh!

..blindsided Rich.

The tribe has spoken. It's been a journey, mate.

17 are left.

Who will be going home tonight?

Oh, last night was the pits.

(RAIN PATTERS)

The rain came hard, and the roof does not do anything.

How the hell these Brains have been living in this shelter,

I'm dumbfounded.

A drip would hit you in the eyeball,

you'd roll your head this way to escape that drip,

and another one would hit you.

And then, a whole bucketful would fall on me and...

It was so shit.

I am not having another night like that.

Right, moving the shelter.

Where are we doing it? What are we doing?

Here. We're gonna put two posts in the front.

Going to have a roof sloping up like that.

Block that whole windy side.

I'm building a new shelter.

But we'll need heaps of rope.

We're going to make a proper shelter, and we're going

to have some good night's sleep.

And they're going to learn a good night's sleep equals energy.

Energy equals wins in challenges.

And then, that means life in this game.

Yeah.

Yeah, Myles loves a chart.

Loves a chat. Big time. About anything, too.

Especially about his old Brains tribemates.

I may have a misread on the dynamics, but that last vote

was where it became really apparent when Max didn't vote

for one of the girls - he voted for me instead.

Alright, we got to work. Yeah, OK. Get to work.

Anyway, yeah, that's the summary. Cool, thank you.

Yeah. All good, all good.

What Max did at Tribal the other night,

it is impossible to understate

how chaotic it was.

He screwed over his own allies.

And that's why I'm here, right? So dangerous.

Yeah, yeah.

And so, Zara was feeling a bit annoyed by the power structure.

Myles is clueless.

He thinks that he's faring extremely well, bonding with these people.

Laura is actually quite rational.

But we are sorely outnumbered.

Jesse and all the others have blatantly said to my face,

"We are sticking together as a five.

"It was always our intention to be Brawn strong."

Myles, can you go easy on the strat chat

and the disseminating of info to them?

Sure. You need to chill.

OK, thanks. It's too much.

We need them to know as little as possible because we don't know

which angle we want to work yet.

Yeah.

But I cannot get him to stop talking strategy.

Laura's got connections with everybody on the Brains tribe.

He's absolutely shooting himself in the foot.

And Max was down for that plan.

I cannot...

I can't school that kid.

It means that I reckon the Brains have probably got to stay strong.

He did this exact same thing when we hit the beach, 17 days ago.

I said, "Myles, please, you've got to pump on the brakes

"of the strat chat, and he just can't help himself."

I'm very open to any new relationships that actually form.

I am bi-tribal.

Bi-racial, bisexual, bi-tribal. There you go.

About what? OTHERS: Myles.

Basically, he's digging his own grave.

(MIMICS CHOKING)

Oh, no! (LAUGHS)

You're so strong!

KAELAN: The new Brawn camp is luxury.

I've gone from a one-star motel to the best resort you can imagine.

How nice was the rice last night?

I've never cooked rice like that in my life.

I'm a culinary genius.

We have the best shelter -

the floor off the ground and a tarp.

We've got a little pickaxe. We've got a tomahawk.

We've got a saw.

We have infinite coconuts.

It's so nice. Yeah.

It's so nice.

It's...it's heaven here.

To celebrate my clean legs. Do the clean leg dance.

It goes like this.

Everyone walk into Tribal like this. Yeah.

"So, Noonan, who are you voting for tonight?"

"Well, JLP..." Do these legs.

Last night went absolutely on point to plan.

Actually, it exceeded plan.

I threw my very big, juicy shield, Rich, right under the bus.

And now everybody loves me.

I'm so curious what happens if they lose immunity?

The other tribe?

They must be just taking out the Brains, right?

They've got a majority.

Right now, the breakdown of the tribe is four OG Brain

and four OG Brawn.

But Brawn have a massive crack in their alliance,

and that is Ursula.

Ursula is not happy with the Brawns.

She hates that they used her name in the first two Tribal Councils,

and she is ready to flip instantly.

She flipped last tribal, and Noonan's name wasn't even up.

And then, Noonan, like, what's the revenge scheme?

Yeah, I know, right?

I find an find an advantage with seven extra votes

and just vote everyone out.

(LAUGHTER) (CACKLES)

With the OG Brawn, the alliances are kind of all over the place,

but I can use all this to my advantage.

Oh, let's go!

Last night went very well.

You orchestrated that very well.

It was... You know, I... Just talk to everyone,

make sure everyone's on the same page...

Yep.

..and you just compromise, right in the middle.

I know you, Noonan and Paulie are on, like, a different alliance

to you, but what are your actual thoughts about them?

Like, do you want them out? Do you want them in?

Are you indifferent?

After all that scramble last night,

Paulie's true colours kind of came out.

I think Noonan and Paulie...

Yeah.

Ursula and I, I think, still need to act

as if we're in with Paulie and Noonan.

But my end vote, each time, will be decided with you.

Stay close to them, pretend to be four-strong.

You can trust me 100%.

I'm on the same page. OK.

Cool. (GIGGLES)

I can work with absolutely everyone.

And that's my charm.

But some people are shields and some people are strategic alliances.

Lovely new Brawn point two.

2.0, yeah.

Kristin is very open to voting for ex-Brawn.

For now, she's in my pocket.

As long as you're prepared for the...

Yeah, because they're the eating ones.

Yet. Might hit you in four days' time.

(LAUGHS)

Between myself and Ursula, it feels very cold.

Ursula looks at me like I am dirt beneath her shoe...

and then complains that I roll my eyes occasionally.

I'm a grown adult. I can roll my eyes at whoever I want.

It's been on the bottom, and there has only been one

other person who was voted.

Like, don't have a go at me at the well

when you were rolling your eyes, yesterday, when I said

I was at the bottom.

Everyone's told me that you were rolling your eyes.

Because I didn't...I didn't want them to know.

So, if you want to... If you want respect,

I'm happy to give you respect. But you roll your eyes, too, Ursula.

I don't... At you?

Yeah, I just don't take it personally.

"Did you eye-roll me?" Yes, I did.

I did eye-roll, and I'll do it again.

(COUGHS) Me and AJ are, like...

Oh.

Paulie and I are still thick as thieves.

But Ursula will never stop gunning for me.

She doesn't want to be Brawn-strong.

Oh!

So, I need to build trust with the ex-Brains and vote Ursula.

I just want to know, like...

Because, obviously, if we lose tomorrow

and we go into another scramble... Mm-hm.

Are you still...?

AJ: I just want to get rid of the person

who is least likely to work with us going forward.

Yeah.

I genuinely don't see tribal lines.

Yeah. Like, I see relationships.

I see you and Paulie, which is people I can talk to...

Yeah, yeah. ..I can communicate with.

By the time we merge, I think you, me and Paulie are going

to be really close.

Yeah.

I've just learned that I have more power in this game

than I could have possibly imagined.

I don't make promises I can't keep,

but my promise is that I want to work with you and fully

for as long as I can. Yep.

I've got the OG Brains in my pocket,

and now the Brawn are also in my pocket.

For every alliance, I'm working with them.

This tribe is squarely in my hands.

If you... Let's do it.

I'm in. I'm so...

I'm really in. I'm so down. Let's do it.

As a poker player, it's my job to read people.

The more I play poker with someone,

the more likely I am to take all their money.

And in Survivor, it's exactly the same -

the longer you play with me, the more likely you are to lose.

Come on in.

Pegs. Oh, pegs.

Oh, no, not pegs.

This is funky, eh?

No way!

Brains, get your first look at the new Brawn tribe.

Rich voted out at last night's Tribal Council.

(CHEERING)

Oh, baby!

So, Jesse, not disappointed that Rich is gone?

No, I'm tickled pink that Big Rich is gone.

You know? Really?

He was a bit of a troublemaker, you know?

He ruffled the feathers

and, you know, he's gone back to Australia.

Thank God for that. Bye, Rich.

Later, Richie boy!

Zara, not disappointed?

Cannot wipe the smile off my face today, JLP.

So, Ursula...

..would another loss for Brawn today

put you at a disadvantage in the game?

Um, I don't think so.

I think I've built quite a good connection with the...

..um, the original Brains, so I don't think so, no.

Alright. Shall we get to today's immunity challenge?

Yeah! Yeah, baby!

First things first.

There you go. Thank you.

Alright, once again, immunity is back up for grabs.

For today's challenge, you're going to attempt to hold on to a wall

using a series of numbered pegs,

while two members from the other tribe

will use sandbags to hit numbered coconuts.

When they hit a coconut, they'll remove the corresponding peg,

making it more difficult to hold on.

Last person still hanging on...

..wins immunity for their tribe.

Losers, Tribal Council, where somebody is going to become

the seventh person voted out.

Brains, you got an extra player. You're going to need

to sit someone out - who's it going to be?

Alright, Laura, you're on the bench.

Everyone else, a minute to strategise.

Let's get to it.

Alright, here we go.

Everyone is in position.

Oh, this is gonna hurt.

We have AJ and Noonan throwing for Brawn,

and PD and Ben throwing for Brains.

Alright, Brains, you won the rock draw.

Away you go.

BEN: Oi.

Four sandbags per round.

OTHERS: Ooh.

Each shooter gets two shots.

Want to knock out as many coconuts as you can.

(CHEERING) PD takes out 17.

Toss him out.

Paulie loses 17.

TEAMS: Oh!

JESSE: Oh, yeah, baby!

And 11.

Karin takes out 11.

It's over to the Brawn.

Boo!

OTHERS: Ooh! Damn! Take 'em all out.

AJ trying to take out the frame,

trying to take out a whole bunch all at once.

Oh! Come on! Clips 20. Not enough.

Let's go, Noonan. Yeah, Noonan!

You got this, Noons!

Comes up short.

Bit more mustard. Strong throw, Noons.

Oh! Yeah.

Nothing for Brawn.

Back over to Brains.

Ooh! Ooh!

Let's go, Benny.

Ben takes out 13.

Karin tosses it out.

Shot! PD taking out 20.

Oh! And another one - takes out 18.

18 and 20.

There we go.

Oh, both for Paulie.

PD! Inappropriate.

Sorry, Paulie. (LAUGHS)

Now over to Brawn.

Ooh.

Brawn having trouble connecting with those coconuts.

Come on, Noons. Let's get one.

Oh! Oh, no. What the hell?

Nothing for Brawn.

That's it. Good one.

27 coming out.

Thanks, Kaelan.

Be gentle, PD.

OTHERS: Oh!

PD just clipping number three.

Oh. Well done.

Determined to take out number three.

It's now over to Brawn.

I'm sure they'd love to get on the board.

I want to go for 12 first, I think.

12 is the bottom peg, there, that Zara is on.

Oh. AJ keeps hitting that frame.

Yes, AJ! Woo! Finally.

Brawn get one. There we go.

Yeah, it's your foot, Zars.

Oh, 12. That's a good one.

That's a foot peg.

Zara is in a spot.

Nice. Good work.

Noonan taking out 24.

Brains have taken out more pegs,

but Brawn have been effective just with two pegs.

16 and nine.

PD, slow down. (LAUGHS)

Noonan takes out 17.

Yeah, Noonan!

25.

(BLEEP)

AJ takes out lucky 13. Beautiful!

And seven!

Seven is where your feet is, Zars. Yeah.

Zara's out.

First one out for Brains.

Now it's getting interesting.

Yes! 12.

Karin is out.

15.

Oh, that's my hand hold.

I'm not in a great spot.

Oh, no! Dammit!

Brawn take out Myles.

We have four left on the wall for Brains and five for Brawn.

Nice! Yes!

Come on. I'll do it.

Yes, AJ!

Takes out 24.

I need to come over here.

Brains are making things really difficult for Kaelan now.

Kaelan can't hang any longer.

He's out. We're down to four each.

AJ: If you guys lose, who will you vote out?

I mean, we're four-four, so anything can happen.

But if you guys are just going to vote out a Brain,

shouldn't you just throw it?

19 and 23.

Paulie is really in trouble now.

(CHUCKLES) 19 is on your left foot.

Nice move from Paulie.

Nice move, Paulie!

Nice. Oh, yes, Noonan!

Brawn take out 19. That's a good one.

That makes it really tough.

I'm gonna knock you off if I stay up here. I'm gonna go.

Oh. Jesse is out.

(CHEERING AND APPLAUSE)

There it is. That takes out Ursula.

Takes out number two.

Takes out five. (CHEERING AND APPLAUSE)

Kristin's out.

(SCREAMS)

And Logan is out.

It's all up to Paulie now.

Paulie...

..on the crucifix.

Pressure is on AJ and Noonan now to even it up.

Almost.

(LAUGHS)

Nothing.

Brawn are really struggling to connect with those coconuts.

Nothing again for Brawn.

Brains just targeting that crucial peg.

(CHEERING AND APPLAUSE)

Brains could win it right here.

(CHEERING AND APPLAUSE) They take out 14.

Yeah, Paulie!

Paulie hanging on by a thread.

This is Survivor.

It's not over until it's over.

Will you get 15?

Paulie is still in it!

OK, come on, Brawn, let's go, let's go!

They connect, taking out five.

Noonan takes out 16.

And 22.

Last person hanging on wins immunity.

It's over to Ben and PD.

Targeting 10.

Oh!

Paulie still in it.

What a remarkable effort.

Boys, take your time.

Slow it down.

Yes, Paulie.

Hang out. One more throw, Paulie.

One more.

OK. You got it, AJ.

Yeah! AJ takes out six.

Yes, AJ! Ah!

And eight.

One more round, Paulie! And 18.

Ah, I'm slipping!

Paulie is on the tips of his fingers. Argh!

He's out! (APPLAUSE)

And that is it. Paulie is out.

And Brains win immunity.

(CHEERING)

Brains, congrats.

Immunity is yours.

Nicely done.

Alright, brains, you are safe.

No-one going home.

Head back to camp. Enjoy your night off.

Thanks, JLP. OTHERS: Thanks.

Well done. Good luck, guys.

Alright, Brawn,

Tribal Council again tonight, where one of you will become

the seventh person voted out.

Head back to camp. I'll see you tonight.

NOONAN: I'm scared, after losing this immunity,

that it is going to be me.

But oddly enough, I'm, like, ready for this storm

that's about to hit me.

This is what you play Survivor for.

You play to be under pressure.

And my name is going to be out there,

and I've just got to...

..throw the hat and run.

And I'm excited.

Sorry. No.

20 years of netball and nothing to show for it!

So, we're going into Tribal tonight, and I am buzzing.

Same.

Tonight, I'm working with the OG Brains,

and this is my grand plan.

We don't need to win challenges.

We just need to make the other tribe lose them.

We're on the same page 198% of the time,

so I'm really curious if you're thinking the same thing.

Paulie and Noonan, where do you stand with those two?

I think Paulie is a snake oil salesman.

Thank you. Don't trust him at all.

Perfect.

That they...they're...

Yeah.

My vote tonight is about hostages.

I'm going to show the other tribe that I have hostages,

and you guys better throw the next challenge

or these hostages are going home.

Noonan and Paula are not only very good shields,

but they are very loud squealers.

Noons?

Yeah.

I want Noonan and Paulie to really let out

that great cry of pain...

..when they're squealing for their lives

because they could be next.

I am 100% with you.

So, tonight, us three, minimum one Brain.

Yeah.

Even though she's a number...

..she's a liability today,

so she's a liability tomorrow. No, I agree.

(CHUCKLES)

KARIN: OK.

We hold all the power because of this OG Brawn divide.

But AJ's wrong.

Yeah, she might be a bit erratic when she votes, but...

Paulie should be the next to go.

He's a sneaky guy.

Get rid of him.

Do youse just wanna eat now?

I'm starving.

LOGAN: Let's do this, guys. Let's do it, mate.

NOONAN: Has everyone had a bite of this?

I've had some. OK.

Ugh!

What? What? No, no.

Ugh.

What is it? Where?

The thing that's wiggling!

Oh, OK. Just relax.

What is it?

Yeah. Why don't we just forget about that?

What was it?

It looked like a tiny, tiny, tiny maggot.

Ugh! Like a really thin one.

Disgusting.

No, no, no, no, no, no. Uh-uh.

I got it out.

Ugh, I already ate out of this.

PAULIE: So, my plan tonight is to vote for Ursula.

Or the worst-case scenario tonight is that I play my Idol.

And I'm just...I'm really wishing it didn't have to be like this.

So sorry it's come to this, Ursula.

I wish it didn't have to be like this.

Do you wish it had to be like this? No.

What if she does? She won't.

She won't. I don't think she will.

OK, but what if I can guarantee you she will?

Alright, then.

I know we can. Sure.

We can keep playing this game.

But she did it first. I just did the...

It doesn't matter. But both of you were doing it.

It doesn't matter who did it first or why. It's happening.

Yeah.

We have the reins here.

Yes. Yeah.

KRISTIN: Oh.

Yeah, probably.

And I'd be happy to. Yeah, same.

But only if you're happy to. I'm happy to.

I'm happy to.

NOONAN: I think if we work together, it'd be unexpected.

Yeah. And I'd be happy to. Yeah, same.

But only if you're happy to. I'm happy to.

I am happy to.

Yeah.

(CHUCKLES)

Noonan approached me with a plan to keep the OG Brawn strong

and reunite as an alliance to potentially vote out Karin.

Both Paulie and Noonan are untrustworthy,

but, for me, nothing's off the table.

This is something we could do.

We do have the numbers to pull it off.

Um...

She...she wants us to go four-strong - Brawn.

She's pitching it, I listened.

And she thinks it will be super unexpected

for her and I to work together.

Do you want me to tell you who she wants out?

She wants you.

KARIN: You think? Yeah.

Hm. She wants you out.

She thinks you're deadly. Deadly?

Deadly, am I?

The sea witch is lurking her tentacles,

and she's coming after me.

So I've got to expose Ursula for who she is.

Interesting. Interesting.

Interesting.

I just hope people realise that that's the bigger threat

in this game.

She threw my name out.

What?

Ursula? Mm.

No, she didn't. Yeah. Yes, she did.

No, she didn't. Yes, she did.

To you? To Noon.

LOGAN: Can you confirm, Paulie? Who?

Was Karin's name thrown out? When?

Just before.

When? I haven't heard it.

No. She would never.

I haven't heard it. That's just it.

I'm just saying. Not panicking.

I'm just saying.

Doesn't bode well for her future.

I know that Paulie came up with this plan. I'm not stupid.

Like, the person who would've thrown Karin's name out there is Paulie.

And then, what would have actually happened is Ursula ran with it.

Noonan said, "Oh, Ursula said you're deadly."

And I was like, "Oh, interesting."

She's not gonna say that. Not gonna say that?

She doesn't move like that. Wouldn't say that.

Right. Yeah. Kaz - she just came then,

and she said Noonan said that you've thrown her name out.

URSULA: I don't know where to begin with Noonan.

She's a dog.

She is conniving.

She is...

She is something else.

Alright, I'll go and talk to her.

You need to go and talk to Kaz.

To be honest, I would have worked with Noonan.

But that is dead.

Yeah, it's game on.

Hello.

I'm just letting you know that I didn't do that.

OK. (LAUGHS)

I didn't believe it, anyway. I didn't believe it.

I just wanted to get it corroborated.

Yeah.

But did Paulie say it? But why? Who said it?

It was just open for discussion.

He asked me if I'd end up working with him.

Ah. OK. Yeah.

OK. Yeah.

Yeah. OK.

I'll let you talk for a bit.

Yep.

Are we on board? Are we...?

(SIGHS)

Names?

We're still thinking. Like, we're literally debating it.

Yeah.

Oh, sorry, sorry. Sorry, everyone.

You and your damn coconut. It's OK, Kaz.

Yeah. Um...

We have come to, literally, no conclusion.

Give us, like, five minutes if that's OK?

Yeah, sure. Sorry, sorry, sorry.

OK. Is that cool? URSULA: Yeah, yeah, yeah.

I feel like I'm the most popular kid in school

because these ex-Brawns keep coming to me.

Guys, one at a time. Please!

I'm waiting for my turn to chat.

KRISTIN: To?

Anyone.

We have to vote together tonight.

OK, so who are we going for?

We're either going Paulie or Ursula.

I feel like I can't trust either of them now.

Yeah. I agree.

Look, I really don't think we can trust Ursula.

Look at her emotional outbreak two votes ago.

Yeah.

No.

We are literally talking about you not being worried.

Yeah.

We're just in a domestic.

Yeah.

Um, so...

So, what are we...?

I was 100% on board doing the other way until this happened.

And then that... Yeah, me too.

And Ursula?

OK. This is what we do. Mm?

Well, we can't be honest. No.

Why don't we just say we're going to decide at Tribals?

I want to create hostages out of these Brawns.

And I want to get the Brains to throw challenges.

I have a clear path forward,

and I know exactly what to say to them.

When we go to Tribal tonight,

everything's gonna go exactly the way I want it.

Can I be honest with you?

Oh, OK.

It's either gonna be Paulie or you.

Oh, OK.

OK.

So, while I'm telling Ursula that the vote is split

and you may or may not go home...

Do you guys wanna chat?

Yeah, sure.

..I'm telling Noonan and Paulie the same thing.

So, I am pushing for Ursula.

Other people are pushing for you.

Yeah.

I think it's gonna be Ursula.

Why are they going for me now?

Because they think that the plan was yours.

Right. Yeah.

I don't think it's you. It's definitely not you, Noon.

Yeah, but I'm still... I don't wanna...

I don't wanna trade one soul for another.

No, no, no, no, no. Don't panic.

Do I look panicked? Mm, you look a little bit worried.

I'm a little bit anxious, but I'm not gonna do anything crazy.

Good. (BLEEP)

Yeah. (CHUCKLES)

Um... Can I also...? This is just my theory.

Yeah.

And you guys can tell me I'm wrong or right.

You don't even have to tell me the truth.

I think one of you has an Idol. Like, I believe it.

I frickin' wish. I wish. I wish I had an Idol.

If you do have an Idol, you don't need to play it.

But if you do have one and you...

And I think the vote is changing,

I will signal you to play it.

Yeah. Alright. Alright.

Yeah. Done.

I absolutely love going to Tribal Council,

especially when I'm at the top of the tribe

and I get to dictate who's going home.

One person shouldn't have this much power.

It's just not fair.

Maybe it's strategy. Maybe it's charm.

Maybe I'm just playing with people that don't know how to play the game.

For whatever reason, all this power is in my hands...

..and I plan to abuse it.

JONATHAN: Watch Brains tackle Brawn in the ultimate battle for survival,

with full episodes over on 10Play.

MAN: Back again.

Indeed.

(SIGHS)

So, AJ. With Rich gone we have a nice even split,

with four OG Brain, four OG Brawn.

Do you think the vote will fall down old tribal lines

or have we moved on from that?

I think we've definitely moved on from that.

Tonight, the vote, for me, is about hostages.

I want really nice, fancy hostages to show the other tribe

and make them throw challenges.

If you look at the Brains tribe right now,

there's five OG Brawn and four Brain.

OK.

So, they have the numbers. The Brawn have the numbers.

But if we keep losing, we're gonna keep voting out Brawns.

Then, when merge happens, they're not gonna have the numbers.

So, what do they need to do?

They need to lose some challenges and get rid of some Brains.

Hence, these are my hostages.

And all these guys have to do is play along.

In my opinion,

I prefer to free the hostages and just win some challenges.

Kaelan, you're saying you're not really on board

with this hostage plan?

Man, I'm completely against taking hostages.

It's terrible. That's AJ's wording. I don't want a part of that.

I think holding them at gunpoint may not help.

We don't actually have a gun. It's a fake gun. This is a ploy.

It's a figurative gun.

But, yeah, you know, you never want to back someone into a corner

to make them work with you.

You want them to come of their own accord.

Wow, Paulie, this Tribal has taken an early turn.

Quite the revelation.

I can see where AJ's coming from.

I think it's very obvious

that the new Brains tribe holds a lot of muscle.

There is a majority of the original Brawn tribe over there.

If we have to become hostages in order to win some challenges...

..sign me up.

Beautiful. Volunteers.

(CHUCKLES) Yeah.

Yeah. But, Ursula, in this plan, one of the Brawn have to go tonight.

Yeah. I don't know how that plan's going to work.

I mean, I think the original Brawns on the Brain tribe...

..they're thick as thieves.

I don't think that they will be willing to throw challenges.

And, Karin, what's your opinion?

Do you think the other tribe will actually come into this?

I mean, it's a big gamble.

We've already seen that the Brawns are competitors.

They like winning, and they like to keep it that way.

But on the flip side, do you want to protect your own?

Do you want to ensure that you actually do have a majority

going into merge?

But, Paulie, am I missing something here? Because it's a 4-4 split.

How can the OG Brains take the OG Brawn hostage

when they don't really have the numbers?

Well, it's not really a 4-4 split anymore

because there are some factions within the group.

There's tension.

So, Noonan, is Paulie referring to some tension within the OG Brawn

that the ex-Brains are trying to exploit?

Yeah, let's not beat around the bush.

There's definitely tension.

And I think the Brains are super smart.

They can see a crack,

and they're trying to make it bigger, minute by minute.

And I don't think they actually have to do much.

I think we're doing most of that on our own.

So, Kaelan, where is this rift in this tribe?

I think the seating here might be pretty poignant

in this case. So, yeah.

I think Ursula has this idea in her head

that we have some sort of rivalry.

Mm.

She thinks I am the dirt beneath her shoe

and treats me as such.

I mean, that's pretty big

for someone who tried to throw me under the bus this afternoon.

Paulie came to me and said, "Let's stick together

"as the four original Brawns and vote out one of the Brains."

I just said, "Sure.

"Whose name are we going to throw out there?"

And they decided to throw out a name.

Pray, tell. What was the name?

There was your name.

And who said her name?

It was actually Paulie who said it to begin with.

I think that's a slight exaggeration.

Oooh. OK.

NOONAN: I agree. I didn't throw any names out there.

Ursula said wouldn't it be so unexpected

for her and I to collaborate on an idea.

And I agreed with her. I said, "No-one would expect it, Ursula.

"Who are you thinking?"

She threw out a name that I clearly didn't want.

Which was?

Yours. Yours.

(LAUGHS) Oh, wow.

And that was the end of the conversation.

JONATHAN: I mean, Paulie, this seems like a reasonable plan.

Is it important to be flexible in this game?

Well, yeah, absolutely.

But I don't see myself as somebody who's inflexible.

I think I'm somebody who has proven themself to be quite flexible,

and someone who is willing to change things

and go in different directions.

I mean, it's upsetting that my name has become sort of collateral damage

in this feud between the two of them,

and I would hate for you guys to put me or smash me under the bus

for a conversation that's been misconstrued

out of panic and paranoia.

What I will say, that Paulie did not say,

is that I can actually offer trust and honesty moving forward.

So, yeah. I hope that's beneficial for your game.

And I just want to point out

we had this decision last Tribal about tribal lines.

And I'm not speaking for Paulie, but I will.

We straightaway knew

that this was an opportunity to build trust with you guys,

and there was no hesitation on our part to put Rich's name down.

And we did it because we hoped actions spoke louder than words.

And I hope these actions are speaking volumes.

I want to get rid of someone who is a liability.

Because I know that, if they're a liability right now,

they're going to be a liability tomorrow.

If they can flip now, they can flip tomorrow.

So, I think I'm giving a bit more certainty.

So, Karin, how can you be sure that someone who's of value now

will still be of value come merge?

Oh, it's very hard to say.

This game evolves with every stage we go through.

But you have to deal with the cards you've been dealt right now.

And right now, if we're looking at who is a liability,

that's what we're gonna vote against.

Well, I think it is time to find out.

It is time to vote.

(EXHALES SLOWLY)

It is time to vote. Ursula, you're up.

I'll go count the votes.

If anyone has an Idol and you want to play it,

now would be the time to do so.

I'll read the votes.

First vote...

..Noonan.

Ursula.

One vote, Noonan. One vote, Ursula.

Ursula.

One vote, Noonan. Two votes, Ursula.

Noonan.

We're tied. Two votes, Noonan. Two votes, Ursula.

Ursula.

That's three votes, Ursula. Two votes, Noonan.

Ursula.

(SIGHS)

Four votes, Ursula. Two votes, Noonan.

The seventh person voted out of Brains versus Brawn...

..Ursula. That's five votes, that's enough.

KAELAN: Well done, Ursula. Great game.

(CLAPPING)

Thanks so much.

WOMAN: Give those babies a kiss.

Ursula, the tribe has spoken.

ALL: Aw!

Peace. Take care, Urs.

Thanks so much.

(SIGHS)

Well, tonight you might have released some tension

but, in this game, there's always more to come.

(ALL LAUGH)

Grab your torches, head back to camp.

Goodnight.

JONATHAN: Tomorrow night...

I have hostages.

..AJ makes his demands...

You guys can throw,

or I'm gonna walk one off the plank very single Tribal Immunity.

What about us? Just hanging us out to dry?

Go!

Will the Brains pay his ransom...

WOMAN: Let's go, Brains!

..or will his prisoners find their own way to freedom?

WOMAN: One of the sandbags contains an Idol!

Seeing my name on the chopping block tonight was nothing new.

I have been at the bottom pretty much from the start.

I've had to plead my case to everyone.

But Noonan got me in the end.

Third time's the charm.

But everyone's true colours will always come out.

They'll see that Noonan is not who Noonan says she is.

They'll see that Paulie is not who Paulie says he is.

And they'll see AJ's pulling the reins.
