Previously on Australian Survivor...

I'd love to be in the majority alliance.

..tensions rose between Laura, Zara and Myles...

Logan, obviously she's tight with Laura, Zara, Karin.

..and the five-strong Brawn alliance...

..made their intentions clear.

Are you throwing? Yeah.

Are you? Yeah.

But with AJ doing the same thing...

Let's try and get it in. ..Brains took the win.

Yeah! What the hell, man? Ow.

After giving it her all at the challenge,

Noonan went on the attack...

You're trying to convince us you did them a favour,

but you said multiple times you don't care if Logan goes home.

Ouch.

Noonan's mud-slinging has definitely hurt my reputation.

Yeah, yeah.

..and in a moment of panic...

This is an idol. Any votes cast for Paulie will not count.

..AJ played his secret Immunity Idol.

Great.

But his Idol went to waste...

Noonan.

..as Paulie saved himself.

You need any help?

Ah, you could have by, like, voting with me.

14 are left.

Who will be going home tonight?

Yeah.

Oh, come on, Paulie.

On the first day of the beach,

you're saying I came to you and threw out Logan's name?

Thank you.

This is what... It's called a hidden Immunity Idol.

Serious? Like, seriously?

OK, I think we are as well.

I feel awful, I feel embarrassed.

How often do people tell?

(THEME MUSIC PLAYS)

I think AJ playing his idol last night

and not having told any of the ex-Brains about it,

potentially blew up this alliance completely.

This isn't the first time that AJ's judgement hasn't been that great.

And to be honest, I've had enough of his hostile takeovers,

and how he knows where the vote is going

and how we shouldn't trust anyone but him

and his hostage plan is the only plan.

It's giving me the ick.

Last night, he lied to all of us.

He's now got his back against the corner.

Frankly, I had a very emotional reaction because I was like,

"Oh, someone's best mate just got thrown under the bus with an Idol."

You gonna do that to me? Yeah.

But it's so funny, that whole vault thing, he's done that to me.

"You are a vault." Yeah.

And Paulie and Noonan... Did he do it to you guys?

I haven't been... "This is a vault."

He'll tell you something to make you feel special that you...

"Vault."

It's like a robot Googled how to be human.

Yes.

"ChatGPT, tell me how to be human."

Right now, the tribe is suspicious of AJ, and I can understand why.

He's got a heart that's pumping polluted blood.

I want to use this opportunity to swoop in and take the reigns.

While I've got you all here,

I just thought I would pitch to you guys today

is just to start thinking about

what going to Merge with me would look like with you?

Strategically, what do you think your advantages would be

keeping AJ around instead of replacing him with me?

I mean, look, all I have to go on

is the person I've known for the last 22 days.

But then, apparently that's not a lot to go on.

So... Yeah.

Yeah. Yeah.

I feel like I know you all well enough to know now

that you are players I want to play with...

..and I want you to work with me

because I think my integrity speaks tenfold,

especially compared to someone like AJ.

He's a manipulator.

He's lying to everyone

and he's scheming every way to get forward.

And if that's what you guys can trust and value, great.

But if you want someone on your side

that is going to do what they say they're going to do, it's me.

I believe that, strategically,

your odds of getting further in the game are much better with me.

Let's make our own moves and let's just get him out.

Let's blind-side him and get him over and done with before Merge.

Maybe.

George better watch out.

To be honest, after that performance,

I'm a little bit conflicted.

AJ has always been a part of my alliance,

but have I come to fully trust him?

Probably not.

Paulie, on the other hand, is a snake-oil salesman.

But when Paulie makes those pitches,

I know there's a bit of truth to them.

And I kind of want to buy the snake oil as well.

Part of me wants to work with Paulie.

Day 22 out here in Samoa,

I'm feeling pretty good, to be honest.

Look at those little hermit crabs in a row.

Yeah, we're chilling...

They were literally in a line.

..because I do feel like we control these original Brains tribe members,

and we can pick them off, one by one.

So I'm living a very easy life on this island. Sun's great.

Sit on the rocks and fish for a bit. Yeah.

In saying that, though, I feel like on this tribe,

the boys are calling the shots and, as we get closer to Merge,

Kate and I realise that remaining Brawn-strong makes no sense.

So it's kind of time to make new friends.

Somebody. Oh, thank you.

Alright, so we've got everyone here? Yeah.

Alright. I want to say something to the group.

In the early days, the OG Brawns made a pact

that we were gonna stick together as much as we could

to keep us out of Tribal Council,

to maintain the size of the group and to maintain our alliance and bond.

Why can't we do the same plan now?

Why can't we all unite as one, make a new alliance

so we could potentially come into a Merge with eight people?

Why can't we be the mega alliance?

And that way, we're all going to be having a bloody margarita

together in the jury villa.

So, Jesse has proposed a mega alliance

with every single person on this tribe.

Jesse's an absolute goose.

I mean, it's going to suck

because we're going to have to push away some of our OG Brawns,

and you're going to have to push away some of the OG brains.

Absolutely not. He doesn't want to work with the Brains.

I think someone wants to be the boss.

No, I want to have a little birdbath.

I think he wants to be the strongest player

and he loves to be in charge.

I think it's more his way or the highway,

which is going to stop from now.

Oh, my... Can we talk about that?

I know.

It's not even gonna work past the next vote.

Really...

Jesse and the boys love to be really macho and say the final say.

I'm sick of it. I want to have a say in things.

In the real world, I'm a DJ and a dancer.

A big part of me is really glamorous.

I love dressing up, I love being in outfits.

I love to party and get wild.

But you shouldn't judge a book by its cover.

Very often, people look at me like the ditzy little DJ girl.

But they don't know I'm ready to take control.

From here on out, I'm making the big shots on my own.

Hello, ladies. Come, come.

It's time to make my own alliance.

That's what's gonna get me through to Merge.

I think, guys...

I'm truly saying that.

But I don't want to save you both... Mm-hm.

..and then be dumped to the side when we get there.

You guys have a really big alliance on that side.

We're going to protect you here, so we want the same protection.

Yeah.

They are well on board, obviously.

I mean, they're in the minority. They want to work with us girls.

Can we come up with a name? Yeah.

I've got... I've got a name. I've got a name.

Let's call it Girls Gone Wild.

Oh, I love that.

I love Girls Gone Wild. Yeah. OK, good.

The boys have no idea what's coming for them.

Come on in.

Oh, no. What?

Endurance.

An Endurance Challenge. Interesting.

Oh.

Here they come. Here they come.

Brain's getting your first look at the new Brawn tribe.

Paulie...

Noonan voted out last Tribal Council.

Oh. Interesting.

Morning. Morning.

Oh, thanks so much.

Good morning. Hi.

How are you? Good.

How are you guys? Good, right.

Yeah. We're still in.

True. That's the way.

Karin, that was quite the Tribal.

Yeah, quite the surprising Tribal.

Tell us. Do tell, do tell.

Um, look, um, everyone's sort of licking our wounds,

getting used to the information that was dropped,

um, but look, we're here, we're together, we're united.

We're going to move forwards. "Information that was dropped"?

What about you, Paulie? How are you after that Tribal?

Oh, you know what? Tribal is Tribal, it's never a fun time,

um, but I think we're good at recognising liabilities.

We're good at recognising how to move forward, post the tribal,

and everybody seems to make good decisions based on that.

Alright. Shall we get to today's Immunity Challenge?

ALL: Yeah.

Jesse, thank you. Here, mate.

Once again, Immunity is back up for grabs.

For today's challenge,

you will each use a pole to hold up a trough above your head.

If you tire, you can drop out of the challenge,

making it more difficult for the rest of the tribe.

When your tribe can no longer hold on, the trough will dump

and your shot at Immunity will be washed away.

Last tribe still standing wins Immunity and is safe from the vote.

Losers, Tribal Council,

where somebody is going to become the 10th person voted out.

Brains, you have two extra today, you need to sit out two people.

Cannot be the same at back-to-back challenges.

Who's it going to be?

Zara and I will sit out.

Alright, Kate and Zara, you're on the bench.

Everyone else, a minute to strategise. Let's get to it.

Alright, here we go.

Everyone, grab your pole. Get it in position.

Oh, jeez. That's high.

Oh, are you kidding me? Jeez.

Get it in the slot there, take the weight.

Push it up, that will release the mechanism.

There you go.

Game on.

Everyone is in position.

This challenge is now on.

Oh, this is gonna be rough.

We've got this, Brains.

You go, Brains.

Very early stages of what will become difficult.

You alright, Laura? Yeah, yeah.

If I can feel it flowing, the water...

Yeah.

Oh.

This is not a good spot for me.

If it gets too much for you, you can drop out.

But once you're out, you're out.

You can't come back in.

And you cannot hand off your pole to someone else.

That means the rest of the tribe will need to take up the slack.

I'm getting pins and needles.

They've only got one hand on over the other side.

That just got a lot heavier. What was that?

Because I'm pushing? Oh, my God, that was a lot heavier.

Hey, hey, what's going on here? That's heavy. Lift it up.

Very early in the challenge, Brains are struggling.

Whoa, whoa, whoa. What's happening, guys?

What's going on?

Really starting to lose it.

Oh, no.

The first five minutes...

What is happening?

That is it. Brains dump and Brawn win Immunity.

We won. Run away!

What happened? I have no clue.

It got so heavy.

It got so heavy all of a sudden.

I was actually in real trouble then. Yeah.

What the hell? You were all pushing, guys.

Everyone was pushing, pushing. I was pushing, pushing hard.

Every one of you were pushing. Oh.

I was getting comfy. You were fine?

Yeah, I was totally fine. I was fine.

Wow. I found a straight arm. Lock it in.

Made it heaps easier, didn't it? Yeah.

I have no idea what just happened.

Morgan, you don't look happy.

I'm just confused. You're confused?

I was just pushing and then red stuff fell from the sky.

It rained blood. Red stuff fell from the sky.

AJ, I've never seen this challenge end that quickly.

Is something else maybe going on here?

It could be, but they all say that it isn't, so, you know,

you've just gotta believe people in the game of Survivor.

And, yeah, maybe it was an accident,

maybe somebody slipped and it became heavy for everyone.

But it is what it is.

And I guess they all seemed quite happy with the result.

What about you? Are you happy with it?

We're not going to Tribal. That's great.

Yeah. Yeah?

True that.

Congratulations, Brawn. Immunity is yours.

You are all safe tonight. No-one going home.

Yes. Thank you. A win is a win.

It is a win. Alright, head on out. Enjoy your night off.

Bye, guys. Bye.

See you, guys. See ya.

Alright, Brains, Tribal Council tonight,

where one of you will become the 10th person voted out.

Head on out. I'll see you tonight.

They say they didn't throw it. I call bullshit.

Very.

Yeah.

I don't know what happened in that challenge, eh.

Going back to Tribal tonight means someone's gotta go home.

I guess our mega alliance was just a pipe dream, but, oh, well.

I have full trust in my alliance, the OG beautiful Brawn alliance.

So I'm not worried at all.

How about Zara, Laura and I do a well run?

We're gonna head down there now. We'll see you in a sec.

We'll be back. We'll be back.

Look at that. Yeah, I know they seem solid.

Yeah.

Kate and Morgan have promised to keep Zara and I safe.

I'm just hoping that'll stay true.

We just have to have faith in the process.

Let's find an Idol, just in case.

Around the... Round table.

So I think I would like to vote on Laura.

Yeah, me too. I would, I would...

Just the power she has over there.

I think Laura reuniting with Logan

is more dangerous than Miles reuniting with AJ.

Yeah, totally.

So we've got four on Laura, yeah? And then three on Myles.

You're Myles? Yeah.

Then Laura and Zara are Myles, too. Yeah.

Laura, Laura, Laura, Laura.

Myles. And then they're Myles.

Then Myles is just dead, like, wherever he goes.

Yeah, exactly.

So we still have to obviously tell Zara and...

We're dumping on Myles. ..Laura, we're going on Myles.

We can talk to Laura.

So you guys go...

You gotta go and do it to Laura now.

Yeah, we've gotta speak to Laura and Zara.

Jessie thinks he's running the show.

I love you guys.

Till death do us part.

Alright. Bye-bye.

But he has no idea what's about to hit him.

Me?

OK.

Yeah.

Yeah.

It's gonna happen but... Kate took it on the chin.

..we're strong, we flip that, there's only two votes.

There's actually no other way we can do it.

100%.

Yep, yep, yep.

Yeah.

Yeah.

OK. Yeah.

OK.

..and you've explained to me

that you're going to help me with your big alliance and Morgan.

Yeah.

Trust me. I know it's scary and everything...

He said, "Death till part."

I am terrified.

I have to trust in people I've known only for a couple of days.

Yeah, cool. Let's do it.

Where's Myles? I don't know.

But I don't think I have a choice right now.

Myles, can we talk to you? Yeah.

They're splitting on me.

My name is going to get pulled out. Is my name getting pulled out too?

Yes.

They're splitting between you and I? Yes.

But there is a plan in place.

You need to vote for Jesse. For who?

Jesse.

And if the plan works, then you are not going to be the person going.

OK.

So act like it's you going home.

OK, yeah.

If we don't deliver this... Yeah.

..we are...

Oi.

The girls are chatting heaps.

I'm feeling something weird's going on.

We could always pull Myles in and us four guys go on...

..Laura.

It's safer. I trust him.

And then we change PD to Laura.

I trust him. Myles.

Go on.

Yeah, sure.

We want... We want to work... We're a bit suss with girls...

Yeah. ..because we don't want you out now.

OK. I appreciate that.

We're a bit suss the girls may go with the other two girls

and make a four and switch their votes.

Yeah?

What would you feel like writing Laura?

I'd be happy to write Laura.

Yeah? Yeah.

Yeah?

But it like guarantees your safety... Yeah.

..and it guarantees...

If it guarantees my safety, I'll do it, yeah.

It may... If...if worse happens, it'll be four-four.

If it goes four-four draw,

I'll be able to convince Morgan on the stool to flip.

If we do this, are we going to jeopardise our five alliance?

Are the girls just gonna flip on us and we don't have that anymore?

Well...

Well, even if we just get Myles, that's five.

Yeah. We still have five majority.

No. Because me...

Yeah? No.

..you. But if the girls switch...

I understand.

Yeah, OK, I see.

Jessie and Ben have absolutely no clue.

Mmm.

Like, this is the most bizarre move imaginable.

At the end of the day, Laura is someone I do like working with,

but they don't need to know that.

So I just nod and go, "Sure, Jesse, we got this."

You're not going to leave us for the girls?

No, no, no, no.

Yeah, yeah.

I appreciate you guys like... Thanks, man. You're in.

We'll keep this on the down low.

We're gonna need a name.

The Hunks. Yeah, we can be the Hunks.

Yeah. I like that.

We could be the Hunks. Yeah, I could be a Hunk.

I think the Hunks is good. Yeah.

Me... Me, you... Yeah, I like it.

..PD. Yeah, we're the Hunks.

OK. Cool, cool, cool, cool. With...

..uh, Z. Hunkz with a 'Z'.

Yeah, Hunkz with a 'Z'. Yeah.

OK, I'm down with that. Yeah, OK.

100%. Alright.

The Hunkz. I like it.

Oh, there's PD.

(BOTH WHISTLE)

We've had a thought.

You know, the girls are chummy with the girls,

and they're off in fours for a long time?

Yeah.

All we wanna do is change your vote to Laura

and not say anything to the girls.

Because Myles is going on Laura, too.

It protects us against a girl gang slowly happening.

This just gives the boys a bit more power.

Yeah.

We've gotta start thinking a bit outside the square.

OK. Yep.

Yeah, and we're called the Hunkz.

Yeah? Fair enough.

Yeah. Just in case you forget just have a look at his chest.

Alright, let's get back, let's get back and babysit.

If I don't get bugs coming out of my bum,

then you guys will wish you ate the bug rice.

Part of the game. Yeah, exactly. Part of the game.

It's all part of the game. All part of the game.

Currently there is a plan.

Kate and Morgan say that they have me.

They say they're gonna prove it to me but I can't know for sure.

Can I talk to you?

Yeah.

I'm trusting you to tell me if any part of you

is thinking to vote for me...

No.

..then I'm saying you can't, you can trust me.

I see you and Morgan at the end, with me.

Yeah, for sure. I trust you.

I'm freaking out. But I trust you.

I know. I trust you, I trust you.

OK, you go back, so people don't think...

But anyway, I trust you.

Oh, my gosh.

I have been searching high and low,

but this afternoon, I knew that I needed to go again.

I have manifested my entire life.

Everything that happens for me, I have chosen.

I knew that I would find information right when I needed it.

I need to make sure that this advantage, this knowledge,

is used correctly.

All I'm thinking when I'm reading the scroll is,

"How is this going to save me?"

It's going to feel so good to finally be at the top again.

(TWIG SNAPS)

I'm gonna do something - ultimate sign of trust.

Trust forever. Trust for life. Trust forever. Trust for life.

Yeah.

You found it? What is it?

Oh... (BLEEP)

Experience the game like never before,

with extended Tribal Councils,

unseen moments, interviews and more over on 10 Play.

Oh, my God.

(TWIG SNAPS)

I need to tell Zara about this knowledge

because if I didn't, I would be enemy number one.

I'm gonna do something - ultimate sign of trust.

Trust forever. Trust for life. Trust forever. Trust for life.

Yeah. You found it?

Oh. What is it?

Oh... (BLEEP)

When did you find that?

I wanted to show you, to show you that everything that I have,

I'm being completely honest with you.

That's why I wanted to show it to you.

We're doing this together. Mm-hm.

I cannot catch a break in this game. It is so frustrating.

There's no good-case scenario for me with having this information.

I have been scrounging and working and clawing my way to get somewhere

and then something like this comes along

and throws a spanner in the works.

We'll see how we play it.

I want you to know that I am showing you that

because I wanna try and protect you too.

No, I'm just upset.

Zara is so angry.

I want to minimise the hurt of my allies around me.

But I found this advantage. This is a solo game, I'm going to use it.

Sorry.

Oh, OK. I'm sorry, Zars.

This is the ultimate disaster coming to fruition.

I'm kind of backed into a corner right now.

Laura has her own agenda, but so do I.

Sure she found the advantage, but I am here to win,

and I'm going to take matters into my own hands.

So, tonight,

I think I'll have to tell everyone this piece of information.

Alright, so, Jesse, I've seen a lot of challenges over the years,

but rarely one that is over that quickly.

What happened today?

Yeah, honestly, I don't think we communicated well enough

with our pole-handling,

and we cooked it, pretty much.

We're not good with the poles.

Myles, AJ admitted openly that he threw the last challenge.

Is this potentially an eye for an eye?

It's definitely a possibility that some of these ex-Brawns

could be throwing challenges to try and do eye for an eye.

(MUTED) ..integrity, and they've given us our word

that they're gonna put it out.

So, Zara, you have a lot going on tonight?

I'll tell you... I'll tell you what happened.

OK.

This afternoon, I found a clue.

And the clue was that the person you vote out will not go home...

..they will go to the Brawns.

Mmm. Mmm.

Right.

So we have a decision to make.

Oh. It's beautiful.

What a clue. Wow.

Wasn't going to tell everyone, but I thought, "Why not?"

Wow. Interesting.

Yes. Yes, definitely.

So, Morgan, does this change the calculus for you?

I think it has. We have a lot to think about now.

I'm obviously not going to discuss it as a group...

..um... Why not?

I think it would be great if it got open to group discussion

and all together, as a tribe,

we can select the best person to go over.

OK, well, who would like to start?

Well, let's just narrow it. Like, who actually wants to go, right?

I'd be very keen to go.

I'd also be very keen to go.

Unless one of the Brawns wanted to go home.

Question.

What should the goal of the person who's sent over there be?

Interesting question. That's a good question.

Do you have a view on that? I do.

Wouldn't it be to foster pre-Merge relationships?

Absolutely, Zara. Yes.

That's exactly what I was thinking when I found it,

that I've said to you guys that I want to work with you.

I've showed you that.

That's exactly what I thought when I found it.

I'll go over and start new relationships...

..for you guys.

Yeah.

Ben, is there a little bit of a contradiction there

where Laura is saying,

"I want to work with you, but I also want to go."

Well, yeah, I mean, we can say it openly,

we know Laura's best friend forever over there, Logan's there, and...

Zara's best friend forever, Karin, is also over there.

I know Karin is working with Kristin over there at the moment as well.

It's a chance for Zara to go and, you know, meet up with Karin,

but also make friendships with Kristin, who...

Were also tight. ..were tight with as well.

I don't want to go because whoever is over there is over there.

I want to go to gain all the correct information, to read people,

and get the right information and then bring it back.

That's the only reason that I want to go.

And I just wanna go because I think

it's the next building block before Merge.

Would you consider going over

and, if AJ is causing a ruckus, trying to get AJ out?

Yeah, I have said over and over, we do not like chaotic players.

So, Myles, I think you'd be the first to admit

that you've been playing from the bottom this entire game.

Why didn't you put your hand up?

MYLES: (MUTED) I'm here to show my new dawn.

I want to play with them.

What about for you, Kate? What's this vote about for you?

Um, this vote is important

because, yeah, it's just about getting the numbers at Merge.

And trying to stay safest as possible. Do you know what I mean?

That's like, it's something to think about.

It's kind of like a puzzle in your head.

Whoever that person on the other side is has to have our back.

Mmm.

If you guys think I have these amazing relationships,

let me go over and figure out what's actually happened,

and I'll be completely honest with it.

It would be kind of ideal for me if neither of us were sent over

and we both stayed behind together,

but it seems like we don't have another volunteer.

Alright, anyone else got anything else to say?

To be honest, I wasn't going to handle this like this.

I was just strong-armed... Mm.

..because I told Zara.

Um, I just think if you guys think

that I have these amazing connections over there,

let me prove that they can be of use to you guys.

That's all.

Alright, well, I think it is time to vote.

Tonight, you won't be voting someone out of the game,

you will be voting someone to join Brawn.

Alright, well, I think it is time to vote.

Zara, you're up.

I believe, by voting for you,

this tips the balance of votes in my favour to go.

This is going to be the last time that Zara strong-arms me.

This is not the way that I wanted to play it.

I'll go count the votes.

If anyone has an Idol and you'd like to play,

now will be the time to do so.

OK, whoever has the highest number of votes in here tonight

will be joining Brawn.

I'll read the votes.

First vote...

..Myles.

..Zara...

..Laura.

That's one vote, Myles, one vote, Zara, one vote, Laura.

Myles.

Two votes, Myles, one vote, Zara, one vote, Laura.

Zara.

We're tied two votes, Myles, two votes, Zara, one vote, Laura.

Laura.

We're tied again.

Two votes, Myles, two votes, Zara, two votes, Laura.

Zara.

Three votes, Zara, two votes, Myles, two votes, Laura.

One vote left.

Person joining Brawn tribe tonight...

..Zara.

Come on. Thank you, guys.

Good luck.

Can I give everyone a hug?

Let me see if I...

You got your gear?

Can I go back for it? Put this down.

Sorry.

OK. Yes.

I'm going to need your old buff. Oh.

You're no longer a Brain, you are now officially a Brawn.

Teal. There you go.

Grab your torch, head out to the Brawn camp, and good luck.

Thank you. I'll see you guys soon. Bye.

Well, information is power in this game,

but in the end, it's what you do with it that matters.

Grab your torches, head back to camp. Goodnight.

Tomorrow night...

..Zara's betrayal.

I did what I did, and I don't regret it.

..has Laura on a witch hunt.

Go!

And the desperate race to make Merge...

Go, Kaelan.

..has each player fighting for their life.

Yes. Oh!
