JONATHAN LaPAGLIA: Previously on Australian Survivor...

Slip, slip, duck...

..at the Brawn camp, Simon made a big mistake trusting Chelsea and Danny.

I have two idols.

DANI: He's got everything he needs to win this competition.

Simon needs to go.

At the immunity challenge...

Step one, throw a challenge.

..Dani put her plan in action.

Come on, guys, you're doing great.

And just like that...

Brains win immunity!

Brawn was off to tribal.

Back at camp...

If we pull this off, it's going to be the biggest blindside

in Survivor history. 100%.

I need everyone to be on board.

..Dani was calling the shots.

But Hayley wasn't falling in line.

I'm all happy for Simon to go home.

But if Simon plays his idol, his one vote on Flick

could mean that Flick is the one who will go home.

And I don't want that.

At tribal council...

Cara, you and George cannot receive any votes,

but you can certainly cast a couple.

Dani's plan wasn't quite as brilliant as she thought.

And though she got her blindside...

Simon.

Did you know it was coming? Yes.

..she was far from happy...

..as Simon left the game with two idols in his pocket

Say it, mate.

Simon, the tribe has spoken.

13 are left who will be going home tonight?

There we go.

Let's get this fire going, eh? Wow.

Let's get back into it. Indeed.

Oh, what a night.

At least we had the plan and we followed through.

Exactly. Yeah. That's amazing.

Well, one of us didn't quite follow through.

Yes...one of us. Hayley?

I think that...

The Blindside played out as I wanted. Simon got sent home.

However, three votes for Dani came out.

If Simon had actually played his idol,

I would been the one going home.

What were you thinking?

I was thinking that I kind of want to hang with Flick.

That's how I was thinking. But I saved Flick today.

How did you save her?

Because I could have written her name down.

But we were all...

Flick flipped on our first alliance.

Oh, I'm just curious, you didn't have the numbers, that's all.

That was interesting. To get you out?

Yeah.

I think that what my thoughts were...

You just want to throw the scent off.

I just wanted, if he played his idol

I didn't want Flick to go home.

OK. Alright.

The next one in line is Hayley.

She's way too smart and way too cunning.

And now I know where she stands...

..I'm out for revenge.

Come on in, guys.

Morning. Morning.

ALL: Morning. Hi.

Hello. Hi.

Yeah. Oh, yeah.

Brains, as I'm sure you already know,

Simon was voted out at last night's tribal council.

Emmett, what do you think about Simon being sent home?

I think a lot of people have been wanting him gone

for quite a while.

Flick, is that correct?

Very much so.

I have wanted that move for about the last two and a half weeks.

He's an amazing player in the game, both physically,

and he just revealed he's amazing in puzzles as well.

But I think in the end, his ego maybe got the best of him.

He got a bit complacent and didn't play his idols.

Went home with one of the biggest blindsides ever.

So, Dani, how would you characterise

how Brawn has played this game so far?

Everyone played a role last night

and it just united us even further.

We all wanted it. And I think Brains wanted it as well.

And I think, you know, you're welcome. That's all I've got to say.

So, George, how would you characterise

how Brains have played in this game so far?

I think the Brains tribe has been evolving on a journey

and it's been getting better and better

as the days have gone by here in the outback.

I think this tribe is going to be peaking at the right moment,

which is in the second half of the game.

Well, I'm glad that both tribes have found their groove

because after 26 long days,

that no longer matters.

Brains and Brawn...

You're kidding.

..are no more.

(ALL SHRIEK)

How are you? Good. Good.

Now we can finally talk. Yes.

Guys, drop your buffs, we are merging.

(CHEERING)

It's so pretty!

Up until now, you guys have played as Brains and Brawn.

And you've put your minds and your bodies to the test

and you've survived some of the harshest conditions

we've ever had on Australian Survivor.

But now, as individuals,

you're going to need both physical strength and mental prowess

to make it to day 48,

because only the strongest player

with the smartest strategy

will win the title of sole survivor

and become a half million dollars richer.

(CHEERING)

Dani, what would you say

to the 12 other people standing between you

and the title of Sole Survivor?

Well, I think there's only one thing to say. Game on.

(LAUGHTER) That's it?

That's it.

Game on.

Wai, what would winning mean to you?

Oh, look, I am really grateful to be here.

It would be epic to think about winning.

But right now I'm focused on what's ahead right now, right this moment.

And I'm stoked. I'm ready for it. So let's go.

George, I think it's no secret you've had some pretty close calls.

How does it feel to have made merge?

Great to make the merge.

I mean, it's a key target

of everyone that comes and plays Survivor.

And now it's a real test of character

who is worthy of being here and who isn't.

I guess we'll find out in 22 days.

You guys ready to get to your first individual reward challenge?

ALL: Yes!

Alright.

For today's challenge,

on my go, you're going to dig up a bag of sandbags

and then use a catapult to attempt to land them atop a series of poles.

When you land a sandbag on two of your poles,

your challenge is over

and you get to choose one item from the merge buffet table.

Oh.

Now, there's some really juicy items, OK?

Like a steak, a burger.

There's some less appetising things and a few hidden surprises,

and there's even a phone call home.

But it's first come, first served.

So I suggest you get on it, that you get the challenge done.

GEORGE: There you go.

Worth playing for? ALL: Yeah

Alright. We'll draw for spots and get to it.

(CHEERING)

Alright. Here we go.

For reward.

Survivors, ready?

Go.

First thing you need to do is dig up that bag of sandbags

dust going everywhere.

It contains 10 sandbags.

Gerald has his.

Baden has his.

Emmett has his.

Laura is in it now. Dani's in it.

Gerald making an adjustment to his catapult.

Gerald starts firing. Close.

Definitely a learning curve to that catapult.

Kez is in it.

Emmett lands one. He just needs one more.

Andrew's in it now.

Hayley's in it.

George is in it. Flick is in it.

You have to land a bag on two different poles.

Two bags on one pole does not count.

The sooner you land two bags,

the better your choices will be at the table.

Chelsea and Wai...

.. (BLEEP) find it.

..are the last to find their bags, huh?

Oh, George, he lands one.

Finally Wai has her bag.

Chelsea is still struggling.

No-one said Survivor was easy.

Yes!

George has two!

George's first to pick.

Now, there's some really juicy items

and a few hidden surprises.

Burger, please. Burger?

Alright.

There you go. Oh, thank you very much.

George has taken the burger.

Alright. Nice choice.

Hayley has one.

Hey, George, how's that burger?

Mmm. Really good, thanks.

Still lots of good things on that table.

Next person to land two sandbags gets the next choice.

Baden gets one.

Everyone picking up their pace now.

We got a lot of people with one sandbag on the board.

Oh, yes! And Hayley does it.

Yay! Come on up, Hayley.

Hayley coming up for the second choice. You got the cheeseburger?

I got the burger.

So, what is it? Like, a steak?

And a beer. Oh, my God.

What are these ones?

Oh, well, you know, they're mystery. They could be bad.

They could be good.

Oh, my gosh.

You're gonna go for the steak? Oh, yeah. Wow.

Yee-ha!

Steak and beer for Hayley. Nicely done.

Cheers.

Now we can actually talk.

Chelsea starts firing.

Yeah!

Chelsea finally lands one also.

Everyone except Gerald has one on the board.

Still some very delicious items up for grabs.

And of course, there's that phone call home.

Yay!

Oh, Chelsea does it. She lands her second one.

Coming up for third choice. Good job, girl.

As much as I'm hungry...

I'm going to take the phone. The phone is yours.

Thank you. OK.

We're going to get to it after the challenge. Yep. Yep.

Yes! Dani does it.

She gets the second one to stick.

Baked potato and all the trimmings.

There you go. Enjoy.

Oh, and Wai. She gets her second one to stick.

She gets pancakes! Oh, yeah. Come here to mama.

Whoo!

Cara, working on that second.

Yay! Cara. She does it.

There is a pizza here somewhere.

OK. I'm gonna try my luck.

Very nice. Doughnuts. (ALL SHOUT)

(CHUCKLES)

Oh, my goodness!

Seven people left.

Emmett, Laura, Kez, Gerald, Flick,

Andrew and Baden.

Seven items left on the table.

Yay, Emmett!

Finally. Finally Emmett does it.

Risk it for the biscuit.

Under this one.

(ALL SHRIEK)

Whoo!

Now we're all getting lollies. Lollies for everyone.

Six people left.

Baden does it.

ALL: Aww...

Baden wins one boiled egg.

Oh, Baden... Always going for the big one.

(BLEEP) At least it's protein.

Sorry, Baden. I feel bad for you.

L!

And that's it. She does it. She gets her second one to stick.

Laura wins...

..a pizza! (SHRIEKING)

And a nice glass of red wine to wash it down.

And finally Andrew gets it to stick.

Avocado smash for Andrew. Enjoy.

Wow, Hayley, you're determined not to leave anything.

There'll be nothing left on this bone.

Oh, wow. That looks fantastic.

Laura, how good's that pizza?

Delicious. (CHUCKLES)

Now we're down to three -

Kez, Gerald and Flick.

Finally Flick lands her second bag.

(ALL CHEER)

Wow, Flick takes the rice.

Something's better than nothing.

A banana and a bottle of milk left.

Which one do you want?

Uh...the banana?

There you go. Well done.

Go guys!

Yes!

GEORGE: Three litres of milk a day.

Alright. Now that the challenge is done,

I hope you all got what you wanted.

There's one important thing left to do.

Chelsea, you're going to call your boyfriend Jake.

Yes. Alright. Go ahead.

Oh, my God.

I've been waiting to talk to Jake for so long.

I miss him so much.

Jake and I are inseparable.

So it's so hard to be apart from him.

I'm the biggest foodie there is.

And I still chose the call home

because I know that I needed that to keep going.

Hello? It's me. It's me, babe.

Oh, my God.

It's so good to hear your voice.

I've honestly been a hot mess for the last two weeks.

Babe, me too. Me too.

Just wandering around. I miss you so much.

I know. I miss you too. We all miss you heaps.

We're all so proud of you. Chel.

Your mum, dad, me.

We're all super proud.

Thanks, babe.

I hope you've made some good friends out there you can trust.

Yeah.

Hi, Jimmy.

I love you so much.

I love you. Love you.

Bye, Jimmy.

ALL: Bye, Jimmy.

Hi, everyone!

A call from home

has just given me so much more drive and determination

to win this game.

It filled my heart.

I'm glad I could actually speak and not just cry.

Alright. Well, congratulations, everyone.

You guys can head back to camp.

Thank you. Thank you.

Enjoy your new digs.

Oh, my God, that burger and chips,

it's everything I wanted.

And now I've gotten to day 26 because I've worked my butt off

with what matters here on Survivor,

talking to people to plant seeds that are finally sprouting.

I want to be in control.

I started from the bottom, I crept my way up through the middle.

And now this is the final race for the goal.

And I'm starting the race in front

and that's where I'm going to finish.

Merge is finally here.

Yeah.

Back with my girls.

We've been separated so long now and we're finally back together.

Day of remembrance! Day of remembrance.

(ALL LAUGH AND CHATTER) Welcome, welcome!

Our new home! Hey, wow.

How exciting. I've missed you.

Come and hug me.

Oh, my God!

Careful of his hugs. Emmett's had all of it.

He cracked my sternum. What?!

It feels crazy to have so many people again.

I know! It's like, "What? Are we back at the start again? What?"

I know.

I didn't think I'd make it this far.

You know, after day two I was gonna go home at any moment.

Here I am, I'm in the top 13 in one single tribe.

Oh, it's good to see you, George. I missed you.

Look, it's just like you left it. I know, it's beautiful.

I don't know where your black blanket has gone.

It's gone on the roof. It went on the roof.

Oh, OK. There you go.

Go find another blanket. We'll wake up to this hole.

It's so good to be back together.

Seeds you love. The Love Tribe.

I feel just at peace, man. It's, like, absolute bliss out here -

coming back, hanging with my old crew.

There's six of us - myself, Gerald,

Kez, Flick, Dani and Chelsea.

And there's seven original Brains - George and Cara,

Hayley, Andrew, Baden, Laura and Wai.

So there's seven Brains, and six Brawn.

I'm just so overwhelmed by the reset.

OTHERS: Same.

But, lucky, I still have a majority alliance...

..because up my sleeve we have my old friends George and Cara.

Hello, I'm George. Chelsea.

Nice to meet you. I'm 31, I'm from Bankstown.

I'm Kez.

They've been working with me, and I trust them.

I used to be a political staffer. Yeah.

My first 26 days of camp in my life were here.

I don't make fire, I don't do things like that.

They don't come to me naturally. I've been trying.

We have the majority, we have the numbers.

We're going head-to-head and I'm gonna take one of them down.

I wanna go down as the Brains killer.

Just destroying all of the Brains out here to become Brawn-strong,

to go into the jury with a bunch of beautiful Brawn sitting there,

voting me to win sole survivor.

(ALL CHATTER)

So, what are we gonna call ourselves now?

Yeah.

What happens when Brains and Brawn gets together?

Love. (GUFFAWS)

Oh. Tinder.

The Love Tribe.

Well, the Love Tribe sounds like something else, eh?

Yeah. George, what have you got for names of the tribe?

Well, I have a great suggestion. Ooh, please tell me what it is.

Let's call the tribe Queen Elizabeth.

Let's not. (LAUGHS)

Could we go with something like Unity, or that's too cheesy?

Yeah. No, that's not going to fly either.

(LAUGHS) Uh...

Making it to merge is such a milestone

because it means that you've played hard.

I've made it this far and pulled off two of the biggest moves ever.

I'm pretty stoked with myself actually.

Why don't we go elemental, like Fire Tribe?

Fire Tribe. Fire Tribe.

I like it.

Now I've got some of my old allies with me,

plus the two ring-ins George and Cara.

We have the majority at the moment.

OK, we are now the Fire Tribe!

(ALL CHEER)

Whoo!

But in the game of Survivor, the moment you feel comfortable

is when you're gonna get knocked out.

Hayley is super sneaky, super smart.

She took my brilliant plan and flipped it on myself.

If it messed up, I was going home.

They all voted for me last night,

so if he had played it, I would have gone home.

Yeah, Dani would have gone home. Yeah, right.

Hayley's a snake in the grass and has an idol.

Hayley's a massive player. She is so smart.

Huge.

We've got to get rid of her.

Yeah.

No, no.

Hickory dickory dock, three mice ran up the clock.

The clock struck and the Workers' Trade Union come out in force.

Oh. (GERALD LAUGHS)

HAYLEY: Dani's not happy that she was the split vote last night.

She thought we were working with her,

and Dani's someone that you don't really wanna cross.

And I'm nervous because right now, after merge, I'm in a minority.

Yeah. Yeah, I need some of what you've got,

just that quiet confidence.

I know that I have the four Brains that I went to tribe swap with -

Andrew, Baden, Wai and myself.

We're gonna bring on Laura,

but it looks very clear to me that it is gonna be

five of us Brains in a minority and everyone else is gonna be against us.

We are up against eight other people.

Yeah.

We need to find a way to take control.

Dani has to be our next target and we need to get the numbers to do it.

That means we need two people to flip and come with us.

So...

I showed my trust to Flick by making Dani the split vote last night.

And Flick and Gerald are two peas in a pod, if you get one, you get both.

Um...I know that you guys probably don't wanna

stick your head up too high,

but we're, like, an open book for whatever you wanna do.

My proposal is that the two of you come and join us.

I feel a bit like we went out on a limb to save you,

because what Dani wanted was you to be the back bump.

Yeah.

So if you wanna jump on board, chuck a vote down...

The whole group that you're with have already got amazing resumes.

Dani's got that claim on Simon, Emmett's been running the show.

George is amazing that he's lasted this long,

and he looks impressive for having done it.

I feel like if you're gonna stick with them and ride that to the end

you're just gonna be the goat who doesn't have a name for yourself.

Like, you have to do something. Mm-hm.

I know we're pretty desperate, but, yeah,

desperate people are the greatest people to use.

Yeah. We are, like, pawns for you now.

Mm-hm. Mm-hm.

The next tribal, it's absolutely crucial that you get your vote right

and you get your alliance right

because lines are gonna be drawn in the sand.

And from then on in, it's gonna be very hard to move across that line.

Like, what have the chats been like with Hayley?

Yeah, yeah, on the Brains side.

Yeah, definitely.

But, obviously, I'm gonna with Brawn.

Exactly.

I knew she was trying to pull you over and I was like, "Yeah,

"but she's gonna do that and then completely blindside you."

Yeah, I know. You know what I mean?

Oh, yeah, I know. This is gonna be freezing.

OK.

Three, two, one.

You're nice and bronze. Oh, really? I think it's just dirt.

Ooh.

I'm gonna find it really hard to sway tonight.

OK. At the moment it's a no.

OK, yeah.

Because I wanna work with you... Yes.

..it's just scary for me to pull away right now.

I understand, I totally get that. OK.

And I promise you, I wanna work with you. Yeah, I believe you.

It's just a little bit too soon for me right now.

Yeah, I totally get that. Thank you for telling me. OK, yeah, yeah.

We've tried to bring on Flick and Gerald,

but they're not working with us.

Our backs are against the wall.

We're gonna need a miracle to get out of this.

At the moment it's a no. OK.

And I promise you, I wanna work with you. Yeah, I believe you.

It's just a little bit too soon for me.

I totally get that. Thank you for telling me.

OK, yeah, yeah. Alright, I'm going to the well.

It seems like there's no way in.

We've tried to bring on Flick and Gerald,

but they're not working with us.

It's really frustrating for me that we have this

five-person Brains minority coming in to merge.

I worked really hard after tribe swap to get rid of Brawn, so that we

would have more Brains come merge, but the other group didn't do that.

My earwax feels terrible, people. Good to know.

The five of us are left thinking, "What are we gonna do?"

Um...see, us as a tight five is our best way of getting through.

If any one us split away, they'll split the vote

and we can't do anything.

GERALD: And they know you've got an idol.

All eight of this majority alliance, they're just this solid unit.

Let me go join my party.

(ALL LAUGH)

And we're left on the bottom. Yeah.

I'm hoping that people slip their tongue during the rest of the day,

we learn a little bit about what they're going to do.

But if we get a consistent story and we know where they're gonna vote,

I'm happy to chuck the idol in that pot.

I feel like I have to use my idol.

I need to either use it to save myself or play it on the one person

that they're trying to target, so we can take out one of the Brawn.

And then I think we all need to play a part in this.

There's no point us sitting around camp.

Yeah. Alright.

Alright. Let's do it.

I'm starting to panic because I have a one-in-five chance of using

my hidden immunity idol correctly, and that's not very good odds.

If I get it wrong, I lose one of my only five alliance members.

Or be going home tonight.

I'm in a strong position. I'm a Brawn on paper.

Actually, can you start cooking dinner tonight? Thank you.

(ALL LAUGH)

There's a Brawn majority on this tribe.

But now it's not about tribe against tribe.

I know what's important at this stage of the game.

The only thing that matters is information.

Let's just...just go over here. Let's go this way.

Are you sure?

OK.

People give me information and I use that information for my benefit!

I'm at my best when I can execute plans to precision.

When I can work my skills as a political operative.

Well, thanks for showing me the well, guys.

I'm gonna be as brief and as quickly and as direct as possible.

Yeah, go on.

Because on paper, I'm one of the Brawns.

We know. But is your heart still with us?

I'll explain very quickly. (WOMEN LAUGH)

I've been planning to act as a double agent.

The time is now.

I'm willing to tell Hayley when and how to play her idol

to get rid of some of the Brawn on this tribe.

So this is how it works.

The unit of Brawns, they invited me in very, very quickly.

Yeah.

The Brawn plus Cara have been very good to me, and I do favour loyalty.

But the thing is this, Hayley, I promise you on my dog

if you have my back, I'll have yours.

Yep.

We just have to vote together, OK?

I can still be loyal and vote in a certain way and you play your idol

and then one of the actual threats go out.

I would love to play it correctly, so, like, if you can tell me

when to play the big game.

Like, off the record, I'm willing to do that for you.

OK? Alright, I'm gonna head back.

So let's head back. OK, cool.

That's where it's all at.

Just when I thought our back was against the wall and there was no way

out of this minority, George comes in, our guardian angel.

He is planning to be a double agent.

And we're gonna have to trust in George if we wanna save our necks.

Come on in, guys.

So, Cara, do you guys have a name for your new tribe?

We do. Fire tribe.

Fire tribe. Yeah.

How did you arrive at that?

We thought that was most appropriate fire, obviously,

means life out here.

And we're all trying to survive for our lives.

Sounds perfect.

So, Emmett, how's the Fire tribe getting along so far?

Life is so good back at the old Brawn camp.

It's just been amazing to get back into the old digs

and I feel like I'm at home.

Alright.

You guys ready to get your first individual immunity challenge?

Yes, bring it.

Chelsea, I need that back.

Thank you. Thank you.

Tribal immunity is no more.

Whoa. Hey, hey, hey.

From now on...

..this is what you seek...

(ALL CHEER)

..individual immunity.

With this around your neck, you are safe,

you cannot be voted out at tribal council.

Without it, you're vulnerable.

Alright. For today's challenge...

..you're going to hold a bar over your head

to keep a ball from rolling out of a chute.

If at any point your ball drops, you're out of the challenge.

Last person left standing wins immunity

and is safe from the vote.

Losers, tribal council,

where somebody is going to become the 12th person voted out of this game.

Alright. We're going to draw for spots.

Let's get this thing rolling.

Alright. Here we go.

Everyone assume the position.

Push up to release the mechanism.

(CHUTES CLICK)

For immunity,

this challenge is now on.

Pretty simple challenge,

just need to apply enough upward pressure to keep that chute level

prevent your ball from rolling out.

But as is often the case in Survivor,

the simplest challenges turn out to be the hardest.

You need to keep both hands on that bar at all times.

Going to get tiring

keeping your arms above your head for an extended period.

There's no relief, you can't shake out one arm,

give the other arm a rest.

Very quickly, your arms and your shoulders are screaming at you.

It starts off all about physical strength

and it ends up being about mental strength.

Who can push through that pain the longest?

One lapse in concentration,

relax a little bit,

that chute will tilt,

and your ball will roll out.

No shot at immunity.

First tribal council since merge.

Can be a tricky one.

Dani.

How nice would it be to rock up to tribal tonight,

feeling completely safe, not having to worry about any of that?

It would be pretty sweet, Jonathan,

you know, coming into merge, it's dog eat dog out here.

And I'm walking away with that necklace.

Another day in the game.

Slipping. (GRUNTS)

Gerald's not happy.

I'm out.

Bad luck, Gerald.

Gerald drops the bar, first one to drop out of the challenge.

Oh...nuh.

Wai way right behind him.

This is a very unnatural position.

It's difficult holding it for an extended period of time.

The fly gets in your eye, nothing you can do about it.

Hayley struggling.

Hayley, she drops also.

Wow. Did not expect that.

Dani decides she's had enough. She drops out.

The strain starting to show on Laura's face now.

Arms shaking, really trying to push through.

Oh, I'm done. My shoulder.

And just like that, Laura out of the challenge,

no shot at immunity.

(STRAINS) Don't think I can last much longer.

Nuh.

Cara drops out. She's out of the challenge.

10 minutes in, we're down to seven,

Chelsea, Baden, Flick,

George, Emmett, Andrew

and Kez.

Someone is going home tonight.

If you're worried about your safety in this game,

you're gonna want to dig deep.

Lots of movement from everyone.

Oh, my God...

This is the first endurance challenge as individuals,

first time to get to scope out your competition

to see who has what it takes.

Big wobble from Kez, trying to shake out a leg.

Wait. No. No. No.

Kez cannot hang any longer. She's out.

Goodbye. Flick has had enough.

Baden, right behind her.

Now we're down to four,

Chelsea,

Emmett,

Andrew

and George.

George looking pretty good.

I've learned the hard way

that anything can happen at tribal council.

Yes. (LAUGHS)

If you want immunity tonight,

you've just got to outlast three other people.

15 minutes in.

Lots of movement from Chelsea's ball.

I'm just doing some shoulder presses.

Chelsea turning this challenge into a workout.

Some movement from George now.

Employing Chelsea's strategy, doing an occasional press.

Chelsea, you don't want to go too deep with that press.

George Ball's on the run.

Shoulders got to be on fire about now.

Big effort from George.

But after almost 20 minutes, George is out.

My left hand went numb.

Now we're down to three.

Chelsea, Emmett

and Andrew.

One original Brain

taking on two original Brawn.

Three different strategies.

Andrew, locked and loaded, solid like a statue,

Emmett doing an occasional press, trying to get some relief.

It's all mental now.

You just need to push through that pain.

Who has enough left in the tank?

Lots of movement from Chelsea's ball.

I'm still doing my presses.

Risky strategy. We'll see if it pays off.

Oh...

Chelse!

Oh, no.

Chelsea just goes a little too deep with that press,

a little too much momentum on that ball and it drops.

Good luck, guys.

We're down to two.

We have a showdown between Emmett and Andrew.

Both fighting it out for the first individual immunity of the season.

Anyone got their money on Andrew?

Baden you're in on Andrew?

Old tribe mates sticking by their old tribe mates.

Trying to get some blood pumping through my body, man.

It is a miserable position to hold for this long.

Where are you feeling it, Emmett?

I can't feel anything at the moment, actually.

You mean you've gone numb?

Yeah. Just can't feel a thing, mate.

Just... I'm just hanging out.

How much longer do you think you can keep this up?

My goal is an hour.

Emmet trying to do a deal.

What do you think about that, Andrew?

I'll go till that sun goes down.

(CHUCKLES) Oh. Wow.

You guys been at this for 40 minutes.

And the showdown continues

between Emmett and Andrew.

Andrew is tiring.

You have this, Emmett.

Emmett has his ball on the run for the first time.

Emmett really straining to have a look at that ball.

Emmett trying to push it back.

Emmett really trying to stretch.

ALL: Ohh.... Emmett.

Big save from Emmett.

God job, Andrew. Lift it up.

Lift it up. Up, up, up, up, up, up, up. Lift it. Lift it.

Oh, Andrew's in trouble now.

Lift, Andrew. Lift it.

Again. Again. On his tippy toes.

He's digging deep, giving it everything.

He's alright.

Andrew trying to march through the pain.

That's it.

Andrew, really in trouble now.

It's there now. Keep it up.

Lift it. Lift it.

The ball is moving all over the place.

Oh...

Lift. Lift. You've got this.

Andrew, doing everything he can.

That ball is getting precariously close.

Andrew continues to fight.

Right on the edge...of his chute.

How much longer can he do this?

Lift it. Up, up, up, up.

ALL: Aww...

That's it!

After 42 minutes, Andrew drops out

and Emmett wins first individual immunity.

I tried.

Emmett, come on over.

This one's for my Swedish goddess back in Margaret River, brother.

Alright. Alright.

Congratulations.

First individual immunity for the season. How's that feel?

It feels fantastic, man.

You are safe tonight, cannot be voted out.

As for the rest of you,

tribal council, where one of you will become

the 12th person voted out of this game.

It will not be you, mate. Thanks, brother.

Grab your gear. Head back to camp. I'll see you guys tonight.

Thanks, guys. Good job.

How do you shoulders feel, Kezza?

Emmett's won individual immunity, and that suits me to a tee,

if Hayley's desperate, I can make them do what I want.

I'm here as a political operative to show you how it's done.

EMMETT: The first individual immunity challenge,

finally I unleash the Plant-Based Superman.

In my lime-green speedos.

This is why I came to Survivor.

Amazing effort.

(ALL CHATTER)

Champion. Thanks, mate.

Well done. Thanks, brother.

From here to sole survivor, my plan is to win every single one.

Congratulations. Thanks, mate.

You deserved it.

And to be rewarded with this super chunky-ass necklace.

Fashion? Fashion. Very fashion.

I'm looking forward to tribal tonight,

knowing that it won't be me going home.

How are you going? FLICK: Good, good.

Chilled? Chilled.

Ha! Yeah, exactly.

The first vote after merge is super important for our alliance

because it's an opportunity to bond together the eight of us,

including six OG original gangsta Brawns

plus me old friends George and Cara.

In the minority,

we have five people - Andrew, Hayley,

Laura, Baden, Wai.

Dani wants to take down Hayley.

But Hayley has an idol.

Yeah.

Again, we voted off her two best friends, but...

Yeah. We've got experience.

(LAUGHS)

So, we've already been slipping in some words that Hayley's a threat

and that we're gonna be voting for Hayley, so that she uses her idol,

but we're gonna actually vote for Laura.

That's my plan. Yeah.

I'm in.

Laura, I love you as a human and everything you do

for the environment, but out here you're indestructible.

She's been on my OG Brains hit list since I got tribe swapped,

and tonight she's going home.

Alright.

OK.

Oh, I've got one sock in my hand.

Hey, yeah. (ALL CHEER)

Have a small handful. We'll try and make it last the next 20 days.

Oh, where's the lift?

GERALD: I can't get my fingers in!

Caucus, can we convene the meeting?

Yes. Am I the convenor of this meeting?

Who wants to move a motion for the elimination of a player?

Aye. OK, Gerald.

I move the motion that Laura goes home today.

Who wants to second that? I second that.

OK. The ayes have it. Done.

(ALL LAUGH) Caucus meeting.

This is what Labor Party branch meetings are like.

Convene...convene the meeting.

And I would just like to say that

I am giving my trust and loyalty to all of you.

Uh-huh. Each of you guys.

Yeah.

So as long as we keep it cool and we're smart about it

and we stay strong, getting rid of all the old Brains,

that's all I wanted to say.

So let's go tear it up tonight. Cheers to that.

Yeah, gum ball! ALL: Cheers.

Well, what a plan I've cooked up for tonight's tribal council.

The old Brawns have banded together to vote off Laura.

But I am going to act as a double agent.

I'll tell Hayley when and how to play her idol

to get rid of a target that I choose.

I've worked my butt off to get to this stage.

The cockroach of Bankstown, George.

These Brawn idiots aren't gonna suspect a thing.

The Brains, half of those people have stabbed me in the back before,

or weren't willing to work with me, but I'm willing to help them.

They're my people, at the end of the day.

But I can only help the Brains...

Hello. Hayley.

How are you feeling? I'm feeling alright.

..if my cover doesn't get blown.

I've got an idol that will be out of my pocket tonight,

and then tomorrow I'm exposed.

It's best we don't talk right now.

I'm gonna explain everything in about 10 minutes, OK?

And then I'll speak to you and I'll tell you

what actually has to happen, but it has to be executed with precision.

Alright. Now...

It feels really scary knowing that

we are all putting all our trust into George.

He is not really telling us anything.

There's always a chance that George is trying to play me.

But we don't have any other options at this stage.

She was like, "I just wanna make the jury."

When she came to me and Cara at the water, just "Please do anything.

"I'm gonna play the idol for me tonight."

I go, "Well, you should, Hayley,

"because you're gonna be copping some votes tonight."

I think her idol will be flushed and they're targeting Dani.

That's who they're shopping.

Yeah, in that case we stick to the plan. It's that simple.

Dani, everyone's starting to shop names around.

Yeah.

And it's you who's being shopped around by Hayley, OK?

The white rock? Yeah.

Who's that? Hey, Kez.

I'm saying that to you because you could be a future ally.

Which white rock?

It looks suss.

Are you gonna go for a swim?

(BLEEP) beauty. You dirty dog!

Yeah!

Kez starts screaming, "I have an idol!"

And I'm going, "Oh, my God, I can't believe this."

Go, you good thing.

That was a great spot for it.

Is it actually an idol or a clue?

Well done, Kez.

"Congratulations, you've found a hidden immunity idol."

This is great.

I don't want Kez having an idol.

Again.

You dirty dog!

Hey. Yeah!

Whoo! I found an idol again!

Again.

I feel like I'm a queen.

I've got an idol, I'm in the majority.

What's happening? I don't know what's happening.

Found it. Nice.

And I've merged.

Who's gonna stop me now?

It's like the ring. It's like the ring!

(IMITATES GOLLUM UNINTELLIGIBLY) ...my precious.

It does something to people.

(LAUGHS)

GEORGE: This is a tricky situation for me.

I don't want any idols in play moving forward.

Hayley, with the idol in her back pocket,

is relying on me leaking to the Brains

who the target of the Brawn alliance is.

She's been thinking Dani.

But the right target is Kez

because she has a hidden immunity idol

and I need her out before my cover's blown.

This is my critical chance to strike.

I saw Hayley scurry back to the old Brains members.

GEORGE:

Listen very closely.

I have 45 seconds before I'm spotted.

Kez found a hidden immunity idol.

You guys are voting for Kez

but you guys need to pitch Dani.

We've got it. Don't talk anymore.

Only pitch Dani. Vote for Kez.

HAYLEY: Yep. OK.

Play the idol to Laura. That's all I'll say.

OK.

Run, run, run, run, run, run, run. Start scrambling.

"Hayley, play your idol for Laura

"or Laura goes home."

Old Brawn will think that Dani's getting the Brains' vote,

but really it's gonna be Kez.

Two birds with one stone.

Kez to go home with an idol,

pincer movement on Hayley

and my cover isn't blown.

I'm going for a swim.

I crowned Hayley the first queen of the Brains tribe.

She can rule by my side as the queen of the Brains.

But there's only one king of the Fire tribe, and that's me.

He wants us to put all our votes on Kez because she has an idol.

George, he'll have my back if I have his.

And I want to trust George,

but I don't want to lose this hidden immunity idol

if this is all a lie.

There is a part of me that's very nervous

because all that has to be wrong

is a little bit about that plan could be wrong

and I could be using my...

It will be his plan, so that's why it will be true.

In the real world I manage pain,

and that's all about manipulating threat.

And I brought that into this game.

I kept my threat level low at the start.

And then I poked up and made some big moves.

But now we've made it to merge, it's a minefield.

I think...

..we have to trust George.

That's the thing that I'm not sure.

It's just to get rid of someone else with an idol.

It feels very George focused. Mm.

And my options tonight are to either lose an idol

or lose an alliance member.

Laura.

If he can act as a double agent, that's great for his...

And so I just want to make sure this plan makes sense in his brain,

therefore it makes sense for me.

All of it relies on me trusting George...

..someone who a lot of people within this small alliance

have tried to vote out before.

But we can always blow George's game up if we need to.

Yeah.

Yeah. Yeah.

Truth is, I'm still gonna be thinking about this

all the way up to tribal.

EMMETT: I feel sorry for the minority.

They're going to be fighting tooth and nail to try and sway us,

but...Laura will be going home.

So the Fire tribe is gonna be seeing some fireworks tonight.

I didn't come on Survivor to be the cockroach of Bankstown.

I came to rule this tribe.

And when I pull this off tonight,

blast out the two idols...

..it'll be the start of King George's dynasty.

JONATHAN: Join People's Champ Luke Toki,

ex-Survivors and super fans as they unpack the week that was

on Australian Survivor: Brains versus Brawn on 10Play.

Emmett, you're clearly not in danger tonight.

You've got the safety of that necklace.

Oh, yeah. Just what I want after an hour under a bloody bar, mate,

this thing hanging off my neck.

A little too heavy for you?

(LAUGHTER)

I'm happy sitting here with my necklace on.

I've got my homies. I'm feeling at peace.

I'm feeling great, man.

Baden, on the surface,

we've still got seven old Brains and six old Brawn.

Is that still a possibility or is that dead?

I think we've lost a couple to the other side.

But, you know, when the tribe swap happened,

they had to fend for themselves and make an alliance with the Brawn.

And they've decided to move forward with that.

But us five are out in the cold.

George, I mean, clearly there's a lot of different relationships

between these 13 people.

How would you describe this tribe now?

I think it's a very diverse mix.

I don't think it's a case of the original Brains and Brawns.

Relationships and bonds have been formed.

And from my perspective, they've embedded.

And that's a good thing.

And now we're going to see how strong those relationships are.

But from my perspective, they are genuine and they're strong.

And that's what I'm focusing on.

Kez, is tonight's vote

just going to be the result of two alliances fighting it out?

There's definitely a split in the tribe at the moment.

I'm just here for trust and sticking to my word with my alliance.

What about you, Dani?

How strong do you think your relationships are in this tribe.

Jonathan, I'm always confident when I come to tribal council.

I put my loyalty down and tonight is just proof of where I stand.

Emmett, what do you think makes you a target at this stage of the game?

I think the biggest target or threat is the crew down the end there

who I haven't worked with in the past.

Mmm. Interesting. Hayley...

..that doesn't seem to worry you.

Oh, look. Look everybody knows I have my public immunity idol.

(LAUGHTER)

I have been holding on to. Wear it. Wear it like I did.

It goes good with the yellow.

(LAUGHTER)

So, there is some form of hope

sitting at the end of this line of people tonight,

and that hope sits in this.

So, George, with an idol in play,

how important is it that the majority alliance picks the right target?

I think it's very important

and I think what's even more important than that

is not deviating from what's been agreed to.

If you stick to your guns,

and that's what I think tonight is about, sticking to the plan,

there's nothing to stress about.

Kez, are you sticking to your guns tonight

like George is sticking to his?

Always. You got to stick to your guns and remain fully loaded.

Emmett, do you think that your alliance is solid tonight?

100%, man?

I think that tribal is a place where forging your alliance is the key.

You know, I can trust the people that I've worked with

and the people that have backed me up.

So you trust that everyone in your alliance

is on the same page tonight? 100%.

Confident. I like that. Yeah.

(LAUGHTER)

Flick. Do you value loyalty the same way that Emmett does?

I do.

It's so hard in this game

because this game is based on deceit.

But to succeed, you have to trust.

I mean, that's what I'm doing tonight.

You have to put your trust in the people that you're aligned with.

What about you, Laura?

Hayley said there was some hope tonight.

Are you feeling any hope?

There's always a little bit of hope in an idol,

but you've got to play it right.

And I've been in that situation where I was lucky.

I, you know, had a 33% chance of playing it right.

And I managed to do it.

But who knows?

Hayley, if that alliance does stay strong,

how do they pick a target?

I have no idea how they pick,

and it might just be that, to try to make it as random as possible,

so we have absolutely no idea.

So you just have to... you have to take a risk.

Kez, what do you think's going to be the consequence

of tonight's vote?

You always hope when you come to these things

that everyone stays strong, sticks to their word,

and there's no-one slipping over to the other side

and you've got to stay confident.

So, how confident are you that everyone's going to stay strong?

Trust is a big thing for me. So I...

I believe that everyone's going to stay strong tonight.

Hayley, how do you think this vote will define the game moving forward?

It seems like we have some pretty clear divisions in this tribe,

and all I have to say is that one person is going to win this.

There won't be eight people winning this,

you're not going to win this amazing game

by just picking people off at the bottom.

So, if that's the game you want to play,

good luck to you for the very end.

(LAUGHS)

Well, I think it's time to vote.

I think it's time to vote.

Dani, you're up.

Laura, I've tried getting rid of you once.

Hopefully tonight you will be going home.

Every time I vote for you, Laura, I don't actually want you to go home.

See you in camp tomorrow.

I'll got to count the votes.

If anyone has a hidden immunity idol and you want to play it,

now would be the time to do so.

Time to put this idol to use.

I have a one-in-five shot of getting this right.

I'm going to use this idol...

..for Laura.

This is a hidden immunity idol...

..and any votes cast for Laura will not count.

I'll read the votes.

First vote...

Does not count.

Laura. Does not count.

Laura, does not count.

Laura, does not count.

Laura, does not count.

(WHISTLES)

Laura, does not count.

Laura, does not count.

(LAUGHS)

Dani.

That's one vote Dani.

Kez.

Kez. Two votes Kez, one vote, Dani.

12th person voted out of Survivor: Brains versus Brawn...

Kez.

You did it. You guys got me.

That's three votes. That's enough.

Oh, my God, Kez. I know.

Oh, my God.

Yes. Yes. Thank you. I love you.

So, Wai...

All the best.

You need to bring me your torch.

Oh, did she get pants?

Rachelle's pants. Oh, that's so sweet.

Kez, the tribe has spoken.

I love you all. See ya!

See you.

See ya. Bye.

Well, if an idol means hope in this game,

it looks like hope springs eternal.

Grab your torches, head back to camp. Goodnight.

Tomorrow night on Australian Survivor...

King George of the Fire tribe has arrived.

..George is on top of his game.

But with no idol to protect her...

I might be here with enemies all around me.

..will Hailey's paranoia...

You have a mole?

..be George's downfall?

I am desperate enough right now,

that I'm willing to blow this game apart to try to save myself.

I have no idea what just happened.

I'm in shock.

There was a one in five chance

that she could have picked the right person to play it on.

That was just crazy odds.

I applaud you, but I'm not sure why they picked me.

I passed my immunity idol to Flick.

So I hope she can do some damage with it

and get Hayley out, hopefully.
