21 days ago, 16 Americans began the adventure of a lifetime.

Abandoned in the heart of wild Africa, they have battled the elements.

The water is disgusting.

You get water mixed with crud. They have battled each other. You guys were gone.

It don't matter. We're all making it. You can't make the decision. Tommy,

Tommy, I had to open it for her. And they have faced new twists.

to the game. Silas, Teresa, Frank, you guys are now members of Buran. Kelly,

Lex, Tom, you guys are now members of Samburu.

Smokes. Last week, the Buran and Samburu tribes merged into one and the game

changed once again.

Tonight, in a special episode, through highlights and never-before-seen

footage, we'll take a closer look at the adventure that has gotten them to this

point. Clarence and his war pain is just a testament to his selfishness. He's a

tribe's warrior.

What?

Frank, after your antlers, he goes over to the Zamburu sign and freaks out with

them. Are you gay?

Uh-huh. First thing I had to do was just ask him straight up, get the burden out.

Forward march!

Left, right, left, right, left, right. Soccer players too.

Day one found 16 strangers abandoned in the untouched, scorching desert of

Eastern Africa, where water is scarce and the dangers are real.

Down, down, faster, hurry up, hurry up. Faster, faster, faster, down.

Have a nice day.

Bye-bye. As two separate tribes, Samburu and Buran, they gathered whatever

supplies they could carry and set out for the abandoned Minyata dwellings that

would be their homes for the next 39 days.

Frank is like a big, strong ex-army guy, and when we were hiking, he was like a

block away from us, just trooping on all by himself.

And he would, like, stop and wait for us, and you'd just tell he was really

put out.

The number one thing killing us right now is daylight, okay?

If you're not alive, you don't have to worry about drinking, eating, or doing

anything. Okay? This is my proposed plan. Let's discuss it. Drop everything

but the essentials of water and our backpacks. Leave the man-made objects

other than the food. It's not too much farther.

Let's get there. Let's get some security around us. Let's do it, man. Frank,

let's do it. All right, guys.

You want to grab check up there, guys? Just grab it and go. We're taking way

too long for them to figure it all out.

Yes, right there. Oh, my God.

Upon their arrival, both tribes found that water would be a serious

issue. It's so sick.

The water is disgusting.

It's this deep.

So you get water mixed with crud.

All right, let me explain to you. Okay. That is the spring, see, underneath the

ground. Yeah. Okay, that is our water source. Okay.

I'm going to move that thing and clean that spring out.

I'm going to get there to watch, make sure no animals come down and get us

because there's dangerous animals here.

Just got to keep clapping, hope they don't come down here.

I thought I heard something like a lion.

For real? For real.

I'm serious.

Diane was worried she heard a lion.

I was shoveling a spring out. You know, it was the most important thing we had

to do.

We had to have water.

But she heard a lion and we had to go.

Come on, let's get going.

Let's go, go.

I'm serious.

Right up over there.

I didn't see or hear your lion.

I heard it. See, we got to realize that this spring is the most important thing

right now. Right, I know. I understand.

I know.

You know, I know you don't see them, but, you know, they could be just laying

there. Yeah, I think you're on high instinct right now.

We got to go. We got to go.

I'm getting bit up by mosquitoes, and I hope none of them have malaria.

You're just having jungle paranoia.

Lions, mosquitoes, aliens, it's all coming at you right now.

Diane is a crybaby titty sucker.

She's weak. I knew that coming into the game.

I knew she'd be weak.

For Buran and Samburu, gathering the water was only half the battle.

Anybody knows that you don't just belly up to the stream that you're camping

next to, drop your canteen in it and drink the water. You don't boil your

water out here, you end up with dysentery, which basically has you

puking and crapping your guts out.

With no fire to boil the water, both tribes spent the first night thirsty and

in the dark.

What happened? Broke, broke, broke.

On day two, Buran continued to struggle with fire, but

Samburu had success thanks to a lens from a telescope.

I unscrewed the telescope, pulled out the lens, and I was like, Silas, isn't

there something we can do with this?

Oh, my God.

You guys, come here. We got fire.

Put the hay on it. Put the hay on it. The

first

immunity challenge proved to be more difficult than anyone expected.

It

was

especially hard on Diane from Buran.

Samburu won immunity.

On day three, as tribal council loomed for Buran, Clarence made a political

blunder. He opened a can of beans to share with Diane while the others were

away. It ain't no big deal.

It's a big deal to me. It's a big deal to me, too. The judgment call I made. It

was a bad day in the judgment.

Today's a hard day for us. We have to kick one of us out. Today was not a good

day to do this.

But at the first tribal council, it was Diane who paid the price for faltering

at the challenge.

She was the first person voted out of the tribe.

Can you imagine if you had a girl here that spent time looking in the mirror,

putting on makeup? I mean, you just... That's true. That's just unbelievable.

She would be so... The first one voted off.

The war paint was my luxury item. It's something that puts me in that frame of

mind for what I have to do for this tribe, which is be a warrior, be an

instrument of our decisions.

Clarence in his war paint is just a testament to his selfishness, and that

doesn't fly out here. He's the tribe's warrior.

What?

No. No, you're not.

If I, like, started putting my socks in my boobs, you know, wouldn't you guys

think I was weird?

Yeah, like it really mattered out here. Right.

He painted his abs, you know, with his makeup. He put black in between his ab

marks to make them stand out. I mean, that's stupid. I think it's a little bit

silly. It's obviously not cool to laugh at your fellow tribe members, but the

makeup.

He's always looking in the mirror. He's so vain.

I was in a sorority, and I've never seen any girl as vain as Clarence.

Whatever, though. Who am I to talk? It's his luxury item. Have fun. Paint

yourself up like a little clown. That's fine.

You do that at home? Huh? You do that at home? For paintballing. I just got into

paintballing with some people that I met.

But I guess I meant the war paint part of it.

I'm not sure I understand how that fits in with it. When I got the paint on, I

just, it's time to go to war. Time to...

Feel stronger.

I mean, look at where we are.

It's just, it doesn't get any more ridiculous than that. If nothing else,

having Clarence around, it's good for humor.

While Varan was dealing with questions of vanity, Samburu was dealing with

questions of trust.

The older members approached Silas to join their alliance.

We want you on our side. We're in a frigging game.

It's not a nice game at times. No, I know what you mean. Nobody's going to

hate anybody.

I know. It's a chess match. It is, man. I know.

Strongest survivor. I know the damn game.

Do you guys know Linda's for sure?

Linda's sold concrete. She's buried in the bottom of the Hoover Dam.

Lindsay was immediately suspicious.

You better not get me voted out of here. Trust me.

We have got to knock the other people out. Are you telling this to everyone?

No, I'm serious.

It's funny. I mean, we're here to win a million dollars.

So now I'm going to do what it takes to win.

At the first reward challenge, the tribes were neck and neck until Kim from

Buran took a fall.

Two feet at the top.

Samburu won their second challenge in a row.

Samburu!

Nice job, guys.

Day five found Jessie sick.

Unable to drink the water, she was dehydrating quickly.

Do you have an appetite at all?

No. The guys are being really good.

They said it's okay.

I mean, I don't know at this point.

I don't know.

At Samburu, with the second immunity challenge imminent, Frank decided to

prepare in his own special way.

Before we head off to immunity challenges, I make it a point to go over

there, and I grab this set of deer antlers I brought as a luxury item, and

I begin striking them together.

And it's like two mature white-tailed North American bucks fighting.

Frank has, I think, their deer antlers.

And he goes over to our sign, our Samburu sign, and

freaks out with them.

Oh, are you talking about the antennas? The antlers? The antennas. You know, the

antlers. They fight before the... Yeah.

It's quite a scene. It is something to see. Frank has these.

deer antlers that were his luxury item that he brought here as his luxury item

such a redneck and he like bangs them together like two

something fighting you know like it's two horns clashing like he's like this

big testosterone stud

It's just that they're driven, and I want them to see that. You know, what is

he doing?

And the hitting on the ground is their paws on the ground and their bodies

hitting, you know, and smashing. And I want them to see it and say, Frank's

getting in the mood. Look at him. He's getting in the mood. And they should be

thinking, maybe we should be getting in the mood. Come on. Yes, we want to win.

Oh, look at him. Look at him. Is he intense?

What's he doing? It's his deer, Owen, man. That's when deer fight for

supremacy.

Two deer get together, they buck heads.

I heard Doc saying that that's like the two bucks ramming at each other and

who's more powerful and that's Frank's way of expressing his enthusiasm for the

next challenge.

More power to him.

Do you want me to do it again?

Oh, my God.

That's the tree we went to yesterday.

Remember yesterday?

Oh, my God.

Awesome.

Oh, my God.

On day six, Teresa gave the Samburu tribe a little pep talk.

We've got to come together as a team.

We're too divided.

I mean, the tension and the friction between all of us. Oh, we're together.

That's not what I've been hearing, as you know. I have very perceptive ears.

Well, what did we say?

Oh, the whole thing.

I mean, I've heard rumors that I'm going first, Kim's going first, Lindsey's

going first, Bradford's going first. Come on. Brandon. Brandon, I'm sorry.

Hey, I'm serious.

Let's get it back what we had.

We don't know what's going to happen with any of us down the road.

None of us know, but we know that we're going to all one by one be gone if we

don't win these challenges. I mean, guys, we are all competitors. That's why

we're on the team. We're going to win. Every day we've got to win.

The note for the second immunity challenge arrived on day six.

It's a food one. Oh, it's the gross food challenge. That's all right. I like

that. Bring it on.

There's nothing I won't eat. You know, it could be beef brain, goat testicles.

But when it came to drinking pure cow blood in the tradition of the East

African tribes, Kelly lost to Linda in a tie-breaking round, giving Samburu their

third straight victory.

So it was back to tribal council for Buran, where Clarence, Kim, Jesse, and

Kelly were all feeling vulnerable.

But the final vote revealed that Jesse's illness had caught up with her. She was

the second person voted out of the tribe.

Buran couldn't seem to get a break.

That night, lions stalked their camp.

Go away!

I mean, it made my blood run cold. We went into this thing knowing, yeah, it's

going to be tough, it's going to be real, but I don't think any of us really

considered that it was going to be quite that real.

My mind said stay, but my feet said go.

I mean, it's all I could do to keep from just running somewhere, but there's

nowhere to run.

That was real. It's still real.

This is probably going to happen every night.

Survivors ready?

Go! At the reward challenge, Baran finally got the ball rolling.

They had their first taste of victory.

Baran!

Along with it came 100 gallons of fresh water.

On day eight, Silas ended all speculation about his

loyalties. when he sided with the younger people of his tribe.

The younger people, I think we've realized that if we don't stick

together, we're going to lose this. They're going to pick us off.

And I'm not going out that way.

They're immature.

They're trying to get under their skin, and it's working.

The third immunity challenge required the tribes to build a distress signal to

be seen from a plane passing overhead.

Muster all your resources and don't stop to gloat. Fail to get our attention,

you'll be facing the vote.

Let's do our SOS like we're doing, accentuate it. They're going to see

that. Frankly, the four of us would like to possibly see an older person have a

little weak moment in a competition so they can all open their eyes because

they keep coming down saying the weak people need to go to stick with me and

we'll weed the weak ones out.

At Buran, the plan was to show lots of color. I had brought some acrylic paints

with me as my luxury item.

and a lot of skin. We got a black man with white tighties on.

Got a big fat man with a flag waving.

Got two little skinny men with flags running around.

Women in their thong there.

If that one stopped flying, I won't talk to the pilot.

Back at Samburu, Lindsay dehydrated under the hot sun.

The next thing I know, I looked over, and she was sitting underneath the shade

of a tree, and it's just not like her personality to sit down.

Before challenge was over, I sat with her for quite a while trying to get her

to drink, but she kept spitting it up.

One of the things that Lindsay likes to say on a regular basis is how strong she

is. Yeah, she's not so strong.

When the plane passed over, it was Buran's distress signal that best caught

the attention of the pilot and drop master.

They finally won immunity.

At Samburu's first tribal council, the young old split caused a deadlock tie

between Lindsay and Carl. We have a tie.

With no previous votes between them, a sudden death competition determined that

Carl was the first Samburu member to be ousted.

Correct answer?

True.

Carl, you need to bring me your torch. Sorry, guys. With Carl gone, the young

were now in control of Samburu.

It's time for you to go.

That night back at camp, Lindsay couldn't hide her frustration with the

four votes she had just received.

Seriously pumped.

And trust me, when I'm pumped, you don't want to with me. By the time I got back

to camp, I felt really angry, just like it all hit me, just like, oh, my God,

they picked me.

bastards the thing about lindsay of course she handled it wrong we needed

their support and we needed to be kind to them but boy she really just kind of

flew off you know the the deep end on day 10 when tree mail arrived linda let

off a little steam of her own it's over we're coming together now it's over

thank you i've been dying to be on this team let's just let me on the team

linda really came unglued She has two very, very different sides.

It's like this sweet little New England mom.

And then there's this, I don't know, crazy woman side too.

I'm ready to be on the team.

Ready to be on the team, honey. Can I have a hug? You see, you're even

hesitating. Give me a hug.

You know, why can't you hug me? When I went to motion for a hug and she

literally froze like this and her eyes were just, she'd like panic, like don't

come near me. Like she was frightened.

Did your mama never hug you?

There you go. And I said, oh, did your mama didn't hug you?

That was inappropriate.

That was low. That was wrong. And that was bad.

Bad. And I totally apologized at the first opportunity.

Two seconds after I said that, I said, man, I'm sorry.

I shouldn't have used that language. But I totally apologized for that. That was

totally uncalled for. Don't ever fuck with my family. Yeah. I would never say

that about your kids. Will you forgive me for that comment?

Come here, baby.

Just forgive me for that comment, because that was totally on my part. I

will never say anything like that again.

I promise. It's emotions.

This is an emotional game.

Yeah, but they're people.

I mean, I understand. It terrified me. I heard a side, too, that I don't even

have that kind of side.

Honey, honey, it's okay.

So let's go in. Thank you. Let's do this, babe. Let's do it. We will.

I say we get it out. Let's go.

All right, we're ready.

Survivors ready?

After reward challenge, Kim cost Baran another victory.

Back at camp, her vulnerability

was on everyone's mind. We lost the challenge.

Unfortunately, you know, it came down to Kim went really slow. We all say, you

know, good job. You did the best you could. But, you know, really, she's

like, I suck. You suck.

At Samburu, the mood was upbeat and the tribe finally came together, at least

for a while.

We really pulled together today and we won some food. And all in all, it was an

unbelievable victory today.

So it boosted up morale, boosted spirits, boosted everything, confidence.

It was a good thing.

Golden chicken blend nice to put in the mush The

basket we won was just amazing we want soup mix, you know rice one like jelly

to put on stuff I mean we want an ostrich egg We

had won 12 different items so one

of those items was an ostrich egg

Huge. And I think they said it was like 24 chicken eggs. And that was real

interesting as far as cracking it, watching them shell it. You want to be

able to, like, pour it? Yep. It's going to have a few shells in it. Okay, let's

try to dust those off.

It's like porcelain. So if you get any shell, watch out. It's sharp.

It's the first time I've ever seen an ostrich egg or ate one.

No difference to me. I'd hate to carry a dozen of them home, but...

How would you like your eggs? You and T, you want to share this?

I'm going to do this slowly so we don't ruin anything here.

Mmm, delicioso.

Hey, Lynn and Cam, these are excellent.

And we had a beautiful breakfast. That humongous ostrich egg just was

delicious. I think it's really picked everyone's spirits up. You know, as a

group, you know, more comfortable in the tribe. People have stuff in their

stomach now.

It was a great morning.

Oh my gosh, you guys, this is excellent.

Excellent.

On day 12, the power shifted again when Buran won the immunity challenge.

Because they were

outnumbered, the three older members of Samburu knew one of them was about to

go.

It's one of us. Wouldn't you rather know if it's going to be you? We're not going

to tell you. It doesn't matter.

Even though the Young refused to show their cards, Silas had a proposal for

the older members.

He wanted them to throw all their votes to Lindsay in order to keep everyone

else vote-free for the anticipated merge.

None of us have one vote against us, except for Lindsay.

I never thought I'd say, vote for me three times tonight. Come on.

But it'll help us. It'll help us in the end, as long as I don't get voted for.

you know, once the merger happens.

Well, they wouldn't say who's going tonight, but they had a plan they wanted

us to follow.

You know, us.

Now, it's just, it's funny.

At the fourth tribal council, the older members showed Silas just what they

thought of his plan.

They all voted for him.

But the four younger members all voted for Linda.

Linda, you need to bring me your torch.

Travis Spoker.

Things were not looking good for Teresa and Frank.

We got mail, and it's probably the strangest mail we've ever gotten.

On day 13, a note arrived that changed everything.

Pick three from your tribe to go on a quest.

You get to decide who you feel would be the best.

Both tribes made their choices.

Silas, Frank, and Teresa from Samburu, and Tom, Lex, and Kelly from Buran.

hiked back to the original drop point.

What happened next was a bombshell.

Silas, Teresa, Frank, you guys are now members of Baran. Oh, my God.

Kelly, Lex, Tom, you guys are now members of Samburu.

Smokes.

Oh, my God. I think the other team is coming here.

Hi. Hi. What the hell?

I'm Baran.

Silas. Yeah?

Everything I'd worked for, all the bonds I'd made, two closest friends on the

team are now gone.

And I was like, I'm going to have to start over.

Oh, man.

At Samburu, the new members were not impressed with what they saw.

How's the firewood running? Do you guys have a lot of wood? No.

It was obvious that these people were napping all day and that they weren't

doing squat.

We've worked really hard and suffered a lot with no food and no water and stuff

like that. And just to see people out here who just don't take it seriously

and be stuck with them, it's painful.

At Buran, Frank and Teresa suddenly had renewed hope.

You know, all this happening today, Frank and I looked at each other and

thought, you know, we're alive again.

And Silas was desperate.

Look at me right now.

What?

Let's go get some firewood.

Frank and Dee are going to bribe up for me.

Well, I thought they were. You said they were with you this morning. You were

going to get their vote.

Well, then which one do you want to take?

That's what I'm saying. Well, let's decide, damn it. He may be a real nice

guy in real life. In our tribe, I don't buy his schmooziness.

I'm definitely on the other side right now. I was on the good side. Now I'm on

the bad side.

At sunset.

the new Samburu tribe got ready for their night watch.

Why don't we each take a new partner? Yeah. Why don't we each take somebody

from so we can get to know each other? Good idea.

And then I would like to go first tonight.

I'm going to be the bad guy. I'll do first.

First with me.

Yeah. This whole atmosphere, being in Africa, everything's tough.

The weather, animals, anything you go.

to do in Africa's tough.

And then here you are in camp with a powder put.

Hang on, let me pop some corn.

The first thing I had to do was just ask him straight up and get it off my

shoulders and get the burden out.

Well, you'll have to tell me a little bit more about your lifestyle.

I got a lot of questions.

About what?

Well, are you... About me being gay?

Well, are you gay?

Uh-huh.

Okay. I am.

See, when I saw you, you know, we didn't know each other. I said, hell, I think

he's gay.

Yeah. And I said, gay? I said, yeah, I think he is. I said, he's pretty.

I wish I still was. I will be honest with you.

I can't say as I've ever known a gay man. If I did, he'd be still in the

closet. You know what I'm saying? You know that's probably it right there. A

lot of people know him, they just don't know him. I got in trouble in college at

a gay bar.

I went in, didn't know it was gay.

Oh. And he was talking about something, and he had gone to a gay bar or

something. I don't even know. I really wasn't paying that much attention to

him. But, you know, with Big T, you can't get mad about anything he says

because he says it with a smile.

he's very funny that's his life and i guess if that's the way you want to live

have it but it sure ain't mine and what's really funny it's probably more

gotten more in common with me than you do with them since i grew up on a farm

and that's what i'm saying that uh at least we can talk about food and iced

tea and country fried chicken cornbread and beans oh you know what i was

thinking about the other night Cornbread dipped in buttermilk. Do you ever eat

that? Yeah. I love cornbread soaked in buttermilk. My grandparents ate that all

the time, but I never did really acquire the taste of it.

On day 14, Tremell brought a clue for the next reward challenge.

Will you be the guy to show them the way?

Keep them together, don't let them stray.

They're fakes in your hands, so keep them on track.

Lock them first and bring new friends back.

It said something about someone was going to be the guide and we'd have to

do something together and follow the leader type of thing or whatever.

I think we're going to be blindfolded.

I think we're going to be blindfolded and somebody's going to move everybody

together. We thought that it might be like trying to round up your group and

kind of get them to do certain tasks blindfolded.

Don't ask me how I got this idea.

One person is going to have to navigate all the rest of us through a course and

have to get us all into like one area like we were cows.

Suddenly my name came up as a volunteer.

Why don't you try it? So we just basically blindfolded them and just

moved them around inside the bow mine. Forward march.

Left, right, left, right, left, left,

left,

right, left, left, right, left.

Right, soccer players too.

Left, right, left, right.

It was like an army cadence deal, trying to keep us in unison and get us to do

different commands and tasks and stuff as a unit.

Side step, right, go.

One, two, one, two. My brother will be critiquing me. He's a first sergeant in

82nd Airborne, so he'll be critiquing me because there's a lot of stuff I'm

brushed up on.

Moran, side step, march.

Which way?

To the right, sorry.

I would say within...

10 minutes, we were, you know, a uniform line going around there.

Moran, forward.

Mark. Your left.

Your left. Your left. Bottom left.

Your left. Your left. Your left. Bottom left.

Moran, stop.

Left face.

Very good. Open your eyes. Okay, everybody. Good job.

You got it.

Come here, Daddy-O.

But when the tribes arrived for the challenge, Buran found that the

blindfold exercise wasn't going to be much help. First tribe to get their 20

goats into their own pen at the finish line wins a reward.

Nonetheless, Buran came through, winning three egg-laying chickens and a rooster

as their reward.

But when it was time for immunity, some members of Buran...

considered a drastic plan.

I'm like, Kim, this may sound crazy, and I've never done this in my life. I'm an

athlete. I go out to win. I've never fixed anything.

I'm like, what would you think if we lost this next challenge on purpose?

It's going to be very tough for me not to win this. I mean, I'll be honest with

you. I talked with Kim and also with Ethan that if we didn't win this one,

that was okay.

The immunity challenge is a win-win situation.

We win the challenge.

Great. We don't have to go to tribal council.

We lose, and I get to vote off my biggest threat.

That's it. That's it. Let's go. Come on. Let's go.

That's exactly what happened.

It's over, Varan.

Varan lost, sending them back to tribal council.

Without his former alliance to protect him, Silas was voted out of the tribe.

Well, there's been a lot of assumptions made by you guys so far in this game.

One of them is that in three days, there'll be a merge.

You can head back to camp. I'll see you tomorrow.

At the reward challenge on day 16.

the young members of Samburu realized their old ally was no longer in the

game. Silas is gone. Silas is gone. But that didn't stop Samburu from winning a

picnic lunch.

Bon appetit, Samburu.

Back at camp,

strategies were once again at full throttle.

Because Lindsay had previous votes which could be used against her to break a

deadlock tie at Tribal Council, Brandon hoped to shelter her by attracting the

votes of Kelly, Tom, and Lex.

I mean, I told the girls this is what we would do.

I'll have to just take a bullet for her.

But on day 18, Kelly caught wind of the plot.

We were talking about going to Tribal Council.

And Kelly was standing on the other side of the hut, and we didn't realize it.

So now Lindsay thinks that they know she has votes.

I can't believe that Brandon didn't whisper and she was standing right

there. That may have just made... There's nothing we can do.

Yeah, there is something we can do.

What?

Vote with them.

Vote with them.

Lindsay considered turning on Brandon to save her own skin.

I'm kind of in a no-win situation.

I mean, do I go against my personal morals and values and vote against

Brandon, or do I vote with Brandon and Kim and risk being the next one voted

out of here?

But at Tribal Council, Lindsey stuck with her alliance and voted against Tom.

The 3-3 tie the young members had been fearing materialized.

That's three votes Lindsey, three votes Tom.

We're going to vote again. When a re-vote failed to break the tie,

Lindsay's previous votes finally came back to haunt her. Lindsay, the tribe

has spoken.

On day 19, Samburu was anxious to merge.

Well, we shouldn't ask today, kids.

I hope so. Maybe we may not.

Should we pack?

I think that's probably a very good idea. Good point.

Anything we think we need to put in that basket in case we have to haul ice, we

just grab the basket.

There's only so much you can put in the backpack. Yeah, these backpacks are very

limited.

We definitely was packed and ready to go. I thought it was like waiting on the

bus and the bus didn't come.

Over at Buran, the tribe couldn't sit still any longer.

Here we are!

A lot of visitors since we were last here.

Yeah, you can tell, huh?

A lot of visitors.

And I thought that was just mud.

Laundry day at the old stream.

Good thing is with only two pair of underwear, you don't have a lot of

laundry to do.

Ethan is holding guard for us over there. The other day we saw a water

buffalo maybe 30 yards away, which scared us all.

And so Ethan is holding his spear up there.

And if he sees anything within any kind of distance, he starts making noise and

letting us know.

I'm definitely more on guard than before.

Lots of activity now, lots of elephants and giraffes, because all the trees are

seeding, so you never know where any of them will be.

We thought we were going to have some sort of reward challenge today. Maybe

the merge is going to be today.

Looks like it's just another day, and we're going to have to wait it out, see

what happens.

On day 20, a clue finally arrived.

Raise your hand if you know how to do it.

You'll need lots of patience to make it through it. The weight on your head

lasts as long as your power.

If you let your arm drop, it may be your last shower.

That's something nasty.

But there was still no mention of a merge.

When the tribes arrived for the challenge, they finally got the news

they were waiting for. The 10 of you have now merged into one tribe.

Congratulations.

Pick a spot. Let's do it.

Drivers ready and begin.

In the first individual immunity challenge, endurance was the name of the

game. Drop an arm and lose immunity.

Clarence and Teresa outlasted all the rest.

Feeling he was vulnerable, Clarence tried to bargain his way to immunity.

That's compromise.

They want me gone.

Trying to trick me. I don't like it.

After more than six hours, it came down to a simple game of rock, paper,

scissors. Paper covers rock.

Teresa took possession of the immunity necklace and promised Clarence she

wouldn't vote for him at tribal council.

Make a new flag, decide on a name, one that you'll keep for the rest of the

game. Reach into the basket to give your spirits a lift with this housewarming

gift.

Back at Camp Baran, the new tribe shared wine and personal stories.

I've never had sex in an airplane.

I have.

Frank had a problem meshing with his new

tribe. It was fun, but I wanted to get it over with, though, too.

It's still daylight. We've got time to go get wood.

Let's get wood. Let's get wood.

But he had no trouble bonding with nature.

Frank, is it open?

Coming this way.

Give this guy room.

The elephant just seemed to be swaying and wagging his tail and looking over.

And I don't know, at times it seemed like he might have acknowledged, stopped

and looked over, you know.

There's a few humans here I wouldn't interact with, you know, but the

animals, yes.

On day 21, Teresa kept her word and didn't vote for Clarence at tribal

council. But the others saw him as too much of a physical threat to keep

around. Clarence, the tribe has spoken.

But Lex walked away with two votes against him.

Nine are left.

Seven of them will make up the jury that ultimately decides who will be the sole

survivor. Over the next 18 days, the members of the new Motomachi tribe will

experience the land, the culture, and the game in

ways unlike any survivors before them. Join us as the adventure continues.

Stay tuned for scenes from our next episode.

Next time on Survivor, the tribe competes for an unusual reward.

Lex embarks on a witch hunt to find out who voted against him. I need to smoke

that person out in the next three days and cut their heads off. And the XM Brew

members concoct a plan.

If we're going to make a move, it has to be this child.

It has to be.

I got the hiccups again.

It is funny.

What? I can't even talk for hiccuping. Can I stop hiccuping now?

Listen, it's synchronized now.
