Original subtitles

JONATHAN LAPAGLIA: Previously on Australian Survivor...

GEORGE: Has anyone seen my Villain hat?

The white one? Yeah.

..Simon continued to believe

he had the protection of a real immunity idol.

The thing that's so powerful about this

is that no-one knows, apart from the Joker.

Oh! Not what I expected. Not what I expected.

It's not a necklace. There's no rope.

At the immunity challenge...

I'm not gonna last long, I don't reckon.

..with the Heroes dropping like flies...

WOMAN: Gerry's down.

..Hayley saw an opportunity to make a bold move.

Villains win their first immunity!

Ahhh!

After throwing the challenge,

Hayley was determined to break the winner's curse...

Rogue.

..and her plan to split the votes on Rogue and Gerry seemed solid.

Us three and Matt just do Gerry. And Matt.

Yep. And then everybody else does Rogue.

Yeah.

But while Sam and Dave were struggling

to figure out their idol clue...

"A secretive knoll"... Far out.

..Shaun snuck in and secured it for himself.

SHAUN: Oh, my God.

With the idol safely in his hands,

he took aim at Hayley.

I'd be lying if I said I wasn't tempted to try blindside the Queen.

But at Tribal Council...

Do you feel like you're on tribe of real heroes?

No, I'm not.

..Rogue went rogue...

I thought there would be very different types of people here.

I'd like to be voted off.

It's mind-boggling.

..sealing her own fate.

Rogue.

..leaving Hayley safe from the winner's curse.

The tribe has spoken.

19 are left. Who will be going home tonight?

It's good to get some peace and quiet...

It's nice, isn't it? ..every now and again.

The chaos gets a bit much sometimes, eh?

Yeah. It's exhausting.

Yeah. Being your best self for 47 days.

Yeah. You know?

Yeah.

I just want to be an arsehole every now and then.

Yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

"No, I don't want to leave you enough food." Know what I mean?

"I just want to eat what I want to eat," you know?

Yeah.

"I'm gonna eat all the beans."

Yeah. "I'll pour out the beans if I want."

(LAUGHS) "I might overcook 'em."

"We'll cook them just in seawater."

"I'm gonna tip my drink bottle on the fire."

I love Jordie. We get on famously.

We get each other's sense of humour.

"I'm gonna fart in bed." Yeah.

"I'm not going to collect firewood. No, I don't want to."

Yeah. "The shelter needs fixing? You do it."

FRASER: And as much as we try to hide it, we are Villains, after all.

"I'm gonna piss as close to camp as I want."

(LAUGHS)

Could we start a construction business

where we just use natural bamboo and...?

Palm fronds.

We'll call it Samoa Construction.

JORDIE: Since day one,

Simon has been my best mate in here.

And obviously, Simon has an axe to grind with George.

And that's great for me 'cause I also want George gone.

Yeah. And we just need to get 'em on...on here.

And if you wanted to give it another crack

at actually, like, matching them, that'd be helpful.

I think I'm just gonna thread them through.

However, at times, I think Simon's ego...

Yeah.

I know.

..gets in the way of him seeing how bossy he is.

Huh?

If you say you're gonna help, like, come help,

or if not, like, just don't like swan in, pick up a palm frond and then not do it.

It's just, like, that's just what kinda gets me annoyed.

Can I help you? I've got a free time.

Oh, it's alright.

Like, no, 'cause George is...

George said he was helping us.

Alright, George, you're helping him.

No, I just... I do get a little bit frustrated,

when you say, "Oh, yeah, I'll come in and help,"

and then you grab a palm frond and then you don't.

Yeah, so I would appreciate it if you're gonna, like,

say you're gonna help, you just help me.

Alright. I'll leave you two to it, then.

JORDIE: I can see it's rubbing people the wrong way.

It's not ideal.

You've got to keep your options open early.

So, right now, we've got a strong four,

with myself, Simon, Fraser,

Stevie on the outside of that.

However, Georgie's tight with the girls -

tighter than I am.

Do you know how?

And that's a real problem.

This is like the palm fronds.

What I'm realising is, rather than fighting against him...

You go like...this.

..if I can keep both Simon and George on my side...

..that's good for me.

Here...oh, no...

Yeah, that's right.

The thing that I'm weighing up here

is the King and the Joker joining together

could be a perfect coupling to cause some beautiful chaos.

It makes me excited.

I think we can, too.

But it's a risky move.

I have the potential to get burnt working with George.

Hopefully I get my timing right.

It's day 10 and the winner's curse is gone.

I think we should get a tribe dance going.

Tribe choreography.

And after Rogue left, we could have all got up

and started doing the celebratory dance.

I'm feeling amazing.

I have survived my first tribal council.

Morale is really high in this camp.

Thank you, Survivor gods, for sending me Rogue.

Two pots of water. Oh, my God.

You are amazing. Good job. Amazing.

Right now, our tribe is extremely strong.

Everything feels like it's in its right place.

The shelter is holding up.

Bellies are full. I'm loving it.

I was going to do some laundry for the plates and cutlery.

Good on you. I'll join you.

One of the things I'm really enjoying

is connecting with people

that I ostensibly don't have that much in common with.

We're good. We're good peoples. Yeah. We try.

You've got to be good people. Some might say we're heroes.

(LAUGHS)

On the outside world, I'm a writer, broadcaster, journalist.

I don't necessarily see myself as a hero,

but I'm known for being passionate about LGBTQIA+ issues.

I'm someone who stands up for minorities,

stands up for the little guy.

As a writer I know how to get information -

gaining trust, asking the right questions.

Writers are always selling someone out.

Is it close by?

My game strategy is to be a loyal,

open hearted, transparent human being with a lot of integrity.

I know that we can build on the idol

and get all of us collaborating and working on it.

I don't want to make this a secret project necessarily

because it's team building, right?

I don't know exactly what Benji is planning with this fake idol.

Yeah.

No.

He's a shifty man, I'm telling you.

He's...something shifty about Benji.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Dave, Sam and I, it's been a fair few days

since we found the idol clue now,

But...

..I've got the idol in my bag and I haven't told them.

Come down here.

People always think that I'm the nice guy and I am.

But last time I played as a Hero.

And I think it ultimately hurt me.

No-one's down here.

This time, I'm going to be more villainous.

Sam and Dave are going to know about that this idol

when I pull it out and play it for myself.

Maybe that's it. What about the other side?

I sort of feel bad.

But at the same time, this is kind of fun.

I'm sure this is the tropical gateway.

Where else could it be?

Come on in.

Good morning. Morning.

We're here first for a change. For a change.

See if you can keep that going. Hope so.

Villains getting your first look at the new Heroes tribe.

Rogue voted out at the last tribal council.

No. No.

We didn't guess. Gosh. Shock. Horror.

(LAUGHTER)

Approval.

(LAUGHTER)

You're welcome.

Liz, are you surprised to see Rogue gone?

Absolutely not.

I'm actually quite glad I don't have to cross paths with her.

What about you, Shonee? Are you disappointed she's gone?

No. I was so petrified of her, so...

Thank you, guys.

(LAUGHTER)

You're welcome.

Alright. Are you ready to get to today's reward challenge?

Absolutely.

For today's challenge,

two members from each tribe are going to face off

in a coconut-throwing competition,

attempting to knock barrels off a deck.

The first pair to knock over the most barrels

scores a point for their tribe.

First tribe to three wins reward.

Want to know what you're playing for?

ALL: Yes.

A bakery bonanza.

(ALL EXCLAIM)

Holy shit.

Wow.

Doughnuts, cupcakes, lamingtons, sausage rolls.

Oh, my God! There's sausage rolls.

Meat pies, even a whole chocolate cake waiting for you back at camp.

A chocolate cake. A whole chocolate cake.

Jordie, worth playing for?

Oh, mate, absolutely.

There's no way we're losing this one.

Is that a ciabatta or a sourdough.

Does it come with a balsamic glaze and olive oil?

This is Survivor. You get what you get, you don't get upset.

If that's a Vegemite scroll, then I'll cry.

Alright, Heroes, you have three extra.

You need to sit out three people today.

Cannot be the same people in back-to-back challenges.

Who are they going to be?

OK. Nina.

Sharni, Flick, you're on the bench.

Everyone else, a minute to strategise.

Let's get it on.

Alright, here we go.

Villains, you have first pick. Who are you putting up?

Should be Stevie and I go first?

Yeah. Yeah.

Stevie, you pass me the coconuts.

Oh, OK. OK.

We can't throw it together? No. No.

Who's it going to be?

Simon and Stevie for the Villains.

Me and Ben? Yep.

Me and Benny.

Shaun and Ben. Alright. Everyone, come up.

Go, boys.

Let's go.

GEORGE: It'll take less than half a second to pick up a coconut.

You can pick one up to start with.

We're better off throwing two at once than having a delay.

You know what I mean?

Alright, here we go.

First match up, we have Simon and Stevie for the Villains,

taking on Shaun and Ben for the Heroes.

Go, guys, let's go.

For reward - Survivors, ready?

Go!

Go!

Oh, right out of the gate, Heroes score the first point.

(ALL SHOUT ENCOURAGEMENT)

Stevie, throw as well. Throw!

Yes!

It's a good hit, Steve.

Oh, and another point for the Heroes.

You need three for the win.

One more, Shaun.

Whoo-hoo! Yes.

Ooh, it's on the edge.

Next one, Shaun.

That's still anybody's barrel.

Come on, Villains.

Get it in the guts! Ready for you, Shaun.

Ready for you, Shaun.

Oh, that's it!

Yeah, Shaunie! Ohh...

Heroes take the first round. Yeah.

Beautiful work.

Wow. So much (BLEEP) power.

It's Shaun.

I mean, he's nine metres high.

Yes!

Alright, Heroes, you lead, one-zip.

Who are you going to put up?

Sam and Hayley. Let's go.

Let's go.

Do you want to go same - male/female?

Otherwise, I'd love to go against Hayley.

Oh, you want to go? Well, if it's against Hayley, yes.

Yeah, go for it, mate. You're up.

Alright, here we go. Come on, heroes.

Survivors, ready?

Come on, Villains.

Go!

Let's go!

Hayley lands one inside the barrel.

George hits one.

It was very sweet.

Arrgh!

George firing furiously.

Yeah.

Good job, Jordie! Go, Jordie. Come on!

You got it, Sam.

And Heroes get one back.

We're tied. One, one.

Nice, Sam. Nice, Sam.

Villains counter.

Oh, (BLEEP). It's so close.

That barrel wobbling back and forth.

Now Heroes have that barrel on the edge.

That's it. Heroes lead two-one.

Come on. Keep going. Keep going.

Yeah.

Villains tie it up, 2-2.

It's all going to come down to that last barrel.

Villains have it on the edge.

Go on, Georgie.

Arrgh!

Yeah.

That's it.

Yes.

Oh, my God.

George bringing it home for the Villains

and putting them on the board.

We are tied, one-one.

Well done. Oh, I got one.

I don't believe it. Yeah, you got one.

Good job, George.

Alright, next match up,

we have Shonee and Fraser for the Villains

taking on Gerry and Matthew for the Heroes.

Survivors, ready?

Go!

Come on, boys. Go, Villains.

Oh. Heroes.

And Heroes get the first point.

Yes!

Go, Villains.

Nice hit from Fraser.

Yes, Fraser. You got it. Smack it!

Yes.

Shot. (CHUCKLES)

Keep going, Shonee.

Gosh, nowhere near.

Yeah, Shonee.

Oh, my God.

Go. Get the second one.

The Heroes get another one.

One left, Heroes, just one left.

They need one more barrel to take it.

Almost there. Almost there.

Big hit from Matthew.

Taking it for the Heroes.

Heroes lead, 2-1.

Good job. Great job.

Really good throwing.

Here we go.

Next round, we have Paige and David for the Heroes.

Yeah, let's go.

Taking on Sarah and Liz for the Villains.

They look strong, those two girls.

Heroes lead 2-1. Villains need to win this round to stay in it.

Let's go, girls.

Survivors, ready? Go.

Go!

Yes, girls. Well done.

Beautiful.

Big hit from the Heroes right out of the gate.

Let's go. Go on. Come on.

Go. Hard as you can.

Yes. Come on.

And the Heroes get another one.

Yay!

They would love to close it out.

Nice.

Villains are on the ropes.

It's alright, girls. Keep going.

Keep going. You've got it.

Well done, Liz.

Olympian versus AFL legend.

Good job, guys.

David working on that final barrel.

Good stuff. Nice. Keep going.

You almost got it.

And another big hit. Oh, it's on the edge for the Heroes.

It's still on. It's still on.

One more. One more. Go, guys.

Go! Keep hitting it, Dave.

And that is it.

Heroes win reward.

(CHEERING)

Good effort, girl.

That's a hard one to lose.

Heroes, congratulations.

Your bakery bonanza will be waiting for you back at camp.

Head on out. Enjoy.

Thank you.

Well done. Enjoy it. Bye.

Ouch.

That one hurt.

We don't need it. Remember we got taro.

We've got heaps of taro.

And beans. Yeah.

Don't forget.

It's so beautiful. Meat pies.

That's yours. Oh, no.

Mate, that's...

It's a loaf of bread.

Oh, no.

Whoever gets that cake...

Ohh... Stop.

Scroll. Scroll.

Oh, no...

That's not cool.

(READS) "Congratulations on winning the spread of bakery treats.

"However, the decision of who gets what is not up to the tribe.

"The person reading this scroll..."

"must decide... (SCREAMS)

Be very careful, mate. I'm going to get evicted.

This is a nightmare.

How am I going to do it?

Who should get the small meat pie as opposed to the bigger meat pie

or who should get the big cake?

Oh, my goodness gracious.

This is the hardest thing I've ever done in my entire life.

OK.

Hayley, croissant. Yes.

Oh, Hayley.

Oh, it's good.

I know Paige likes a meat pie. Let's go, Paige.

Oh, Ben.

Yes. Cheers.

I got the big meat pie and that was just, like, so good.

I miss meat so much. Oh, my God.

Alright, So, um... Oh, this is so hard.

Calories. Calories.

It's so tough.

All that was going through my mind

was anything from the cream doughnut up...

..that'll work for me.

A loaf of bread.

Sharni.

Yeah, Sharni.

It's huge.

I would not eat that.

Oh, my God.

Thank you, Sam.

Gerry, sausage roll.

I'm, like, drooling, like...

Oh, I want that cake.

I was losing it.

I have no idea what I'm going to do

because all I know is that David loves chocolate cakes,

but I am a chocolate addict.

I know how much I'd love that chocolate cake right now.

David, cake.

(CHEERING) Oh, my God.

Cake? Are you sure?

You love chocolate. Let's go.

Thank you, brother.

Smash it. Oh, my God.

Oh, David!

Oh, my God. It's amazing.

Oh, my God.

Sam giving Dave the chocolate cake today

sums up exactly what Sam is like as a person and as a player.

He is loyal to a fault.

Cup cake...Flick.

Thank you.

Cream doughnut...

..Nina. Yeah.

Benji, mini meat pie.

Sam!

That was an obvious move

to give somebody who probably does feel like they're on the outer

one of the worst items.

Matty, Lamington. I love a lamington.

Sam's just so naive.

This is the easiest choice here.

Similar to how I was the first time around.

Shaun.

You take the big dog, big fella.

Sponge log. Sponge log.

Good on you, Sam.

He's got no idea I've flipped over to the dark side.

Watch it. Watch it.

(INDISTINCT CONVERSATION)

I see Hayley snooping around for an idol.

I don't need to. I've already got one.

But I still need to throw the boys off the scent.

Who better to pin it on than Hayley?

She's already got a huge target on her back.

Making it bigger isn't going to hurt, right?

Yeah.

Yeah. Yeah, OK.

How are you going? Yeah. I'm good.

I'm OK.

I felt a bit of a simmer down in the chats between us

and so I just wanted to revisit them,

check everything's OK.

I feel like I've tripped up a little bit

in my making it look like I'm looking for an idol

and I don't want to lose trust.

My very big intention right now is just sit in camp,

do minimal tasks, do them with someone.

If I'm doing it so that no one's scared of me,

I don't...I don't want that.

I just want trust and stability.

Hayley's coming up with her tail between her legs,

and I don't feel that bad.

I think it can really work to my advantage.

I just want to feel confident

and just move forward with a good group.

Let's get to further in this game before we do anything silly.

So I've really got to weigh up how I can best use Hayley.

Look, look, I've played this game before.

I've already won it. I don't want to draw attention to myself.

I'm feeling very, like, scared.

I'm realising I don't want to be the biggest target out here.

Thinking I can protect Hayley, take her through

as the biggest threat in the game, and hide behind her as a shield.

So this is perfect.

Hope we don't have to go to tribal again, but should we go,

as long as it's not me I don't really care.

At the end of the day, Hayley has already got

half a million dollars in the bank.

She's not getting it again this time.

I want to be the one collecting that cheque.

It's going to be a hot one today.

Sure is.

Sam, I bet the Villains are dying to know all about those baked goods.

Well, what happened? Tell us.

It wasn't the greatest bonanza. I was expecting a feast.

I got a scroll. Oh.

And I had to give one item to each of the tribe mates.

ALL: Ohh...

Started with a big triple decker choc cake,

and it ended with a single slice of gluten-free toast.

Who got the cake?

(LAUGHTER)

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

Yeah. Come on, Simon. Give it up.

Always a pleasure.

Once again, immunity is back up for grabs.

For today's challenge...

..you're going to push a very heavy cart through a course

collecting firewood and coconut husk as you go.

You will then use those materials to build a bonfire.

First tribe to burn through the rope, drop the sack of coconuts

wins immunity, safe from the vote.

Losers, tribal council

where somebody's going to become the fifth person voted out.

Heroes, you have three extra players.

Going to need to sit out three people today.

Who are they going to be?

Ben, Gerry, Hayley, you're on the bench.

Everyone else, a minute to strategise.

Let's get to it.

Alright. Here we go.

For immunity.

Survivors, ready?

Go!

Are we all ready?

That cart is heavy.

Keep going. Keep going.

It's going to take all of you working together

to get it moving.

Jesus, that looks heavy.

Wait. Wait. Wait.

The villains, they are digging deep. What a great effort.

Keep going. Keep going.

Yes. We're beating them. Let's go.

Drive those quads.

Drive!

This is why we came to Survivor.

To push heavy shit.

Wow.

Did not expect this.

Heroes have a lot of muscle, but none of the momentum.

Go, Heroes! Push!

Go, go, go, go, go.

Big drive. Big drive. Big drive.

You need to get all the way across that line before you can load it on.

You're good, Villains. Start loading up.

Tell us when it's over, back wheel.

One, two, three. Now.

You're good, Heroes.

Go, go, go. Be careful. Careful.

Wow. There is a scramble for that wood.

Come on, Stevie! Yes!

Stevie on the top of the pile.

Watch your eyes. Watch your eyes. Everyone, watch your eyes.

Chaos.

Don't need to grab all the wood

but you need enough to build a bonfire

that will reach that rope at the end.

Simon has a huge armful.

Shaun, not so much.

Villains have a good mixture of big and small pieces.

Heroes deploying a slightly different strategy.

We're better off getting more.

Heroes really loading up.

Remember, we're going to have to push it as well, guys.

Keep going. Keep going.

I reckon we're good.

It's enough. Let's go.

Villains think they have enough.

Time will tell.

Three, two, one.

(ALL GRUNT)

Keep going. Keep going.

If you thought that cart was heavy before,

once it's loaded up with wood, it is almost impossible.

Arrgh! Driving it. Driving.

Villains have some momentum.

Heroes falling behind in this challenge.

Come on, Heroes. Yeah, Heroes. Come on.

It's alright. It's alright. It's a long game. We're good.

Yes. Backed over.

Alright. Go, go. You're good, Villains.

Now you've got to untie four bags of husk.

I will spot at the front. Nice and easy.

Go on to my shoulders.

It's Liz going up for the Villains.

There we go. Hold my legs.

Split that between... That's it.

So solid, Liz.

The Olympic pole vaulter no stranger to heights,

making quick work of those knots.

Next.

Three, two, one. Push.

Push. Drive.

Meanwhile...

That's good. That's good.

..Heroes are moving on.

Strong legs. Strong legs.

Go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go.

Keep going. Keep going. Hard push.

You're good.

Go, go, go. Go, go, go, Sharni.

I've got this. Jump up here.

It's Sharni going up for the Heroes.

We got you. Just trust it.

Villains have a nice lead.

Next. Last one. Left. Left.

Villains working on their last bag.

Jump on my back.

Nina going up now

Heroes desperate to catch up.

Watch it. We've got you.

Sharni and Nina working at the same time.

I'm too short. I can't reach it.

Villains have all their bags.

Got it. Well done, Villains.

Moving on.

Go!

Keep screaming, George. Keep screaming.

And go up this hill. Yea, yea.

Heroes have three bags.

You've got this, Sharni.

Sharni really struggling with those knots,

costing the Heroes some precious time.

Yeah. Yeah. I got you. Finally she does it.

Heroes have all their bags.

That's it. You're good, Villains.

Start unloading your cart.

Go, Stevie.

Stevie goes straight to the fire making.

Slide it off.

Good work, Stevie.

Stevie scraping the magnesium

while the rest of the tribe get to work on the bonfire.

Maybe a little, little pyramid around that.

Yeah. We'll start in this corner. The wind's coming this way.

(ALL GRUNT)

That's it, Heroes.

You've got this. Come on, strong legs.

Strong legs. Use your core.

One more push.

One, two, three. Go.

Everything.

Push. Keep going.

Go, go, go, go, go.

You're good, Heroes. Start unloading your cart.

Stevie going for a spark.

Not waiting for that bonfire to be built.

Timing is important.

If you have your torch lit too early,

it might go out before the rest of the tribe builds their structure.

Come on, Stevie. Yes!

Grab the torch, Stevie! Stevie, torch. Quick.

Is it enough to light the torch?

Put it up.

Put it down. Put it there. Let's build.

They're going to need to work quickly now...

Use all these small ones.

..before that torch goes out.

Let's go, Villains.

Come on, guys. We need this.

Villains putting some of that husk high inside the structure.

We'll see if that helps.

Let's get full on, building a pyramid around that. Yeah?

Meanwhile, the Heroes are picking up the pace.

It's Sam.

And the Heroes working on the fire now.

You've got it, Sam. Light it.

Yeah. We got fire. We got fire.

Alright. Come and help build.

The Heroes are catching up fast.

But is it too little, too late?

Yeah. Let's give it a go. Light her up, Stevie.

Stevie going for it for the Villains.

Come on. Get it right in there, mate.

Right in.

Heroes haven't even noticed

that the Villains have their bonfire alight already.

That second layer of husk really working for them.

They're on fire. Light it up, Heroes.

Alright. It's all about the height here.

Sam barking orders, convinced he knows the best strategy.

It's not the density. It's about the height.

Come on, let's light it up. Fire, guys.

Let's light it up, Heroes.

Immunity is on the line. Somebody is going home tonight.

Yeah. Burn!

Burn!

Villains standing back.

They have a legitimate blaze going on there now.

It's licking the rope already.

Finally, Flick coming forward with the Heroes' torch now.

Get all the shit out of there

because we don't want this lighting if we don't move. But it's too late.

Burn!

Burn! Burn! Burn!

Come on!

Burn!

Burn, baby! Burn!

And that is it! Villains win immunity...

..sending Heroes back to tribal council.

That's not good.

Villains, well done.

Whew.

Immunity is yours.

ALL: Whoo! Look at it, guys.

Look at it.

You are safe. Nobody going home.

Grab your gear. Head on out. Enjoy your night off.

Good luck tonight, everyone.

Alright, Heroes, tribal council again

where one of you will become the fifth person voted out.

Grab your gear. Head on out. I'll see you tonight.

Tonight, the easy vote will probably be, like, Ben.

He's a shifty man, I'm telling you.

In terms of physical strength, Gerry's got an injury

which is persisting.

Or maybe there's something bigger coming up.

I think a storm's brewing out here in Samoa.

Maybe Hayley.

Maybe Hayley.

Rough day at the office. Yeah, very rough day.

We gave it our all.

Need some water, anyone? Bottles?

Yeah. I'll be there in a tick. OK.

I'm not putting my trust in any single person

when it comes to this vote.

What I'm doing is putting my trust in the tribe

that we present a unified front.

Do you want to do the beans first? Sure. Yeah.

Thoughts?

Has anybody got any idea what to do?

I don't. I don't either.

Because the first one was incredibly easy. Yeah.

This one's going to be a lot more difficult.

This one's going to be tricky.

Um...

I can't even like...

I mean, obviously you don't want to go throwing names out there.

I am a little bit concerned for Gerry because I love the guy.

I don't want to see him go home.

At the same time, he has an injury.

But it's important that we're all on the same page

and that we remain Heroes strong.

I know he didn't want to sit out today.

Yeah.

What's your thought on that, Sharni?

I know you guys are probably the closest.

Um...

The only way I would feel good about him going home

is knowing that we potentially saved him

long-term injury getting worse. Agree. Agree. Yeah.

Like, if I got injured, I do action movies.

I'm absolutely screwed... You need your body.

..if I have not got a fully functioning body.

Yeah. Yeah.

He won't leave this game until he is forced out.

Agreed. OK. Alright.

I'm going to get these beans on.

Good, team.

So...

I don't want to get rid of Gerry.

Nothing inside of me wants to get rid of Gerry.

It sucks that that's what everyone wants to do.

And if that's what everyone wants to do,

that's probably what's going to happen.

Majority rules.

They left one of the water bottles. I'll bring it.

Um...

Are you OK?

Yeah, because I'm not going to write Gerry's name. Yeah, yeah.

It's just not going to happen. If he goes home, he goes home.

And what I just said there completely stands true. Yes.

That's why I was kind of like, "Shit" when he walked up.

Everybody was uncomfortable. Nobody wanted to say a name.

So I'm like, "Come on, let's just say something."

The intention is to have Ben think it's Gerry,

because it makes the most sense.

When Nina tells me that it was a fake conversation

to vote Gerry out in order to actually vote Ben out,

I'm all for it.

I'm relieved because

Gerry's the only person on this tribe that I trust wholeheartedly.

So, obviously we went to the well, Ben came up.

So all we did was talk about Gerry.

But I don't think that that's the actual intention.

I think the intention has been... Yeah.

Ben is on the chopping block tonight

because he is showing his cards way too much.

I mean, he literally made a fake idol.

Most people don't make fake idols

unless they're worried or they have a trick up their sleeve.

Yeah. So, you can't do that.

And you've got to be genuine. Yeah.

Have you seen an idol?

I haven't seen an idol, but he's making a green one.

That's so weird.

I wonder why he's thinking that. Maybe he's seen one.

We don't want Gerry to go.

But if Ben has an idol, a real one...

..we're going to have to split votes.

So basically...we're voting Ben.

And we're going to split the vote with Gerry.

Love it. Us three are voting Gerry.

Oh, OK. Great.

Sharni was like, "I refuse to do that."

So we were like, "You don't have to."

OK. Peas in a pod. Perfect.

Gerry? Gerry.

Something. Yeah.

This wouldn't be my first choice, this plan,

because I get along really well with Ben.

But I've tried to keep it very under the radar.

The tribe is getting very spooked by me thinking I'm a big player,

so the majority has told me where to vote

and I'm just going to do that

and get them to forget that I am a player in this game.

OK. Good. Cool.

What are you thinking?

Benji's name has been tossed around camp.

Gerry's name has been tossed around camp

And Hayley's always been tossed around camp.

Yeah. I still think we can make a massive move.

I'm down for it.

Yeah. Are you down for it?

Trust me, we can do it. This is my plan, right?

Yeah.

Yeah. Right?

I reckon we could easily get Paige on board. So we have four.

We wouldn't even need six.

We could have five because it's split between three people.

Yeah. Yeah.

It means one of Shaun, Nina.

Yeah. But we have to be careful that this is smooth

because she's so smart.

If she has an idol, we have to do it tonight.

I feel like having Hayley around isn't really a benefit to my game.

And the longer she's here, the more entrenched she'll be.

I'm telling you. Now, we just need to get one more person.

To me, it doesn't make any sense

holding on to someone like a Hayley until the merge.

It doesn't. There's nothing positive that comes from that

unless you're trying to use her as a block.

You tell me which one and I'm fine with either.

I think they should probably be the next two.

Yes. Alright. We're on the same page.

I think a storm's brewing out here on Samoa, especially on our island.

Maybe Hayley will go sooner rather than later.

DAVE: We're, um...

Those two boys are pretty keen on potentially making a big move.

They're still thinking Hayley.

Unfortunately, my plan in convincing Sam and Dave

that Hayley's found the idol has worked almost too well.

I, um...

You do as well. Yeah.

Because, like, you're going to be a huge target.

Yeah. Yeah. Agree.

Yes. So do I.

Myself and Flick, we're on the same page.

We want Hayley around.

We need her around for our games.

What were you going to say?

You guys are, like, staring at me like I'm at a job interview.

Tell us about yourself.

Basically, I just...

..just really feel like it's not the time for Hayley.

I hear you when you say she's a bloody threat.

I'm like, I know. I played with her.

I know. She's a huge threat.

And I'm not saying we have to take her through to merge. No way.

It needs to happen just before merge.

Boom. Done. See you later.

Yeah.

I feel like the plan Flick and Shaun are feeding me

is probably to benefit their own particular game individually,

not collectively.

But I want to be able to make those calls.

Tonight's vote at tribal council

is a lot more complicated than our last tribal council.

I think fireworks are going to erupt.

JONATHAN: So, David...

..from the outside, this tribe

is bigger and stronger than the Villains.

Why do you think you're back here again?

(LAUGHING) Yeah. Yeah, I don't know.

They just, um, had a lot of strength today.

They...they clearly got a jump-start on us.

Yeah, they were too good.

Alright, well, Flick, last time you were here,

it seemed like it was a pretty easy decision

about who was going to go home.

Yeah, that's right.

Is that the case again tonight? Definitely not.

We've had so many days together, united,

and had so much time to get to know each other.

And I feel like tonight's gonna be

really, really difficult for us

because we all get along like a house on fire.

Ben, do you think everyone's on the same page tonight?

I would hope so.

Um, at the same time, you can never guess where everyone's head is at.

You have to take people at face value

and assume that conversations are being had in good faith.

It's not an easy decision.

I don't want to be too Pollyanna about it,

but morale has been high after the last time we were here

because we do feel probably more unified than ever.

And I think tonight's gonna hurt

because it's literally gonna cost us.

So, Hayley, do you think tonight's vote will make it crystal clear

where everyone stands in this tribe?

Oh...um...

..not necessarily.

We are one big group still,

and the last time we were here, it was a bit of an easier vote.

But I think we're still coming together as one big group

to make these decisions.

Gerry, last time you were here, you copped some votes.

Do you think the same could happen again tonight?

Jonathan, for sure.

Um, nobody can be safe,

especially with just getting over this injury here.

You know, it's, uh...

..that's put a bit of a target on my back.

Um, so...

..it is what it is.

Do you think, because of the injury,

you're gonna get some more votes again tonight?

I think some of the tribe are still a bit gun-shy about that.

So, um, of course, you know?

It's a... You'd be a fool not to think that.

Ben, is Gerry right to be concerned

that votes are coming his way tonight?

I think everyone should be concerned in our own way, shape or form.

I think we'd be naive

to think that any of us are safe,

and I think Gerry's right in feeling like he might be under threat, too.

OK, well, let me ask everyone that.

Who thinks, tonight, that they're gonna cop some votes?

Only Gerry. Yep.

(LAUGHS)

They're obviously very confident, aren't they?

Um, so, yeah.

And, hey, I've lived my life on the back foot,

so this...this doesn't faze me.

That's right, Gerry.

So, Gerry, what can you do?

Hang on to their shirt-tails and go for a ride.

Yeah. (LAUGHTER)

And, uh, just keep doing what I'm doing.

Try to be a, uh...a good asset.

I'm good around the camp, and, um...

..I'm showing my strength in the challenges.

So, Shaun, if Gerry has proved his worth in the challenges and at camp,

why does his name still keep coming up?

Well, that's it, mate. He's done...

Everybody would agree that he's done all that he can do.

I mean, he almost single-handedly

designed and built the shelter.

He's very capable in challenges for a man in his 60s.

The simple fact is that Gerry's copped an injury,

and you really have to think about that, going forward.

Well, Hayley, Gerry can't vote for himself,

so he's gonna vote for someone else.

Yeah, please don't vote for me. (LAUGHTER)

Well, tonight is a little different.

You will be voting.

But you won't be voting to send someone home.

Oh! What?!

You'll be voting to send someone to the Villains tribe.

(EXCLAMATIONS)

However...

..if that person survives the next two days in the game...

..they'll be coming right back.

to the Heroes tribe.

Oh, wow.

JONATHAN: Watch Heroes and Villains collide

in the ultimate battle for survival

with full episodes over on 10 play.

Tonight, you won't be voting to send someone home.

Oh!

You'll be voting to send someone to the Villains tribe.

(EXCLAMATIONS)

However...

..if that person survives the next two days in the game...

..they'll be coming right back to the Heroes tribe.

What?!

SAM: So, it's like a little bit of a staycation.

A little bit of a staycation.

It's a recce. Yeah.

Do a recce on the Villains camp.

Yeah. Scoping them out.

So, Shaun, that's a lot to take in,

but what's going through your mind right now?

It IS a lot to take in. Um...

You've got to start thinking about whether the group decision

is going to be the best one for the new implications,

or do we all have to start whispering now

and see if we need to change it?

(LAUGHTER)

Hayley, what are your initial thoughts on this?

Um, my thoughts are that if we want to be Heroes strong,

we could send someone

who will come back,

tell them nothing and tell us everything.

Yeah? Yeah.

HAYLEY: Whoever that is.

BENJAMIN: There's a perverse part of me

that just wants to send over the person who'd be most entertaining.

But I don't think that's the smartest choice.

Are...are you looking at me?

Oh, look, there's a lot of...

..there are a lot of candidates amongst us.

It's so different now, isn't it? It's, um...

GERRY: Yeah.

BENJAMIN: Makes logical sense to me.

GERRY: You have to send an asset.

You're saying send an asset?

Well, somebody that...that...

..an asset that you know that's gonna be covert...

..loyal...

..and be strong enough within the game

and, um...and know enough about it

to duck and weave to come back.

Nina, what's your take on it?

(LAUGHTER)

I will say what I just whispered. I don't know.

Um...

Ideally, we would send somebody

who can come back and provide information.

A spy. A spy.

And who wouldn't be upset by it.

Um...

But then, depending on how strong the Villains are,

we also have to consider who we're sending.

That could just be the end of their game.

And then, is that person also going over there

to then share information about us with the Villains?

HAYLEY: Will they know that that person is there for two days

and then comes back here?

They'll know as much as you choose to reveal.

NINA: We'll stick with it?

No, no, no. Yeah, yeah.

Shaun, would you volunteer for this mission?

Oh, preferably not.

(LAUGHTER)

I think anybody here, maybe besides Paige, from what I'm hearing,

is a bit reluctant to go.

Paige, you put your hand up for this mission.

If they thought it was appropriate for me,

I think we gotta play it smart.

Um, I know I'm very loyal to my tribe.

That's what I live on. Loyalty.

Do you think you could survive a Villains tribal?

As long as Showpony Simon is willing to keep me warm at night,

I think I'll survive.

(LAUGHTER)

But, yeah, look, it's up to the tribe.

I can win 'em over. You know you guys can trust me.

Yeah, and the loyalty's 100%.

It's not a question of trust at all.

I just think we need to play really smart.

Like, anyone that's been in this game previously

is obviously gonna have a huge target on their back,

so we can't send anyone that's been previously in the game.

We just want you to come back. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

So, David, you've played the same number of days as Paige,

same threat level over there.

You could go.

PAIGE: No, Dave's strong. I don't...

I think it's super important for our team, as a tribe,

to have that muscle behind us

because we need to win those challenges.

Sharni, the thing about spies is that, in the end,

you don't really know which side they work for.

Yeah, you do when it's Paige.

I'm a bit charismatic. As people say, I can charm them around.

On the flip side of that, 'cause you're so good at that,

I think they're smart enough to think,

"Well, what the hell did they vote her out for?

"We've seen how tight she is" with us at the challenges.

There is a lot of smart players over there

that have played the game twi... more...more than once, right?

There's a red flag here already. I'm telling you.

There's a red flag with you.

So, Sam, where are you sitting on this right now?

I'm sitting right on the pointy edge of a fence, but...

..I think what is really important for this...this next move is...

..to send someone...

..we'd be willing to lose...

..at worst-case scenario, and not getting them back...

..as opposed to sending someone that...

..we need to come back.

I think that's where... that's where I'm sitting right now.

That...that's the type of person you want to send?

If it comes down to it for me, I mean,

I'd prefer probably to send someone

who may not come back.

GERRY: So, who do you guys think should go?

PAIGE: Yeah.

So, Gerry...

..your name had come up a lot before I introduced this twist.

Does that concern you?

Yes, it's always concerning.

but as I said, it's...it is what it is.

You're still quite excited about going over there.

Oh, I've got a bit of an adrenaline kick. Yeah. Hell, yeah.

I love it.

Alright.

It is time to vote.

It is time to vote.

Flick, you're up.

Not the name I was planning to write tonight,

but it's the lowest-risk option for us, mate.

Good luck.

I think it's incredibly noble of you to put your name forward.

I trust you and know you are loyal to our tribe.

I'll go count the votes.

If anyone has a hidden immunity idol and they'd like to play it,

now would be the time to do so.

Alright.

Whoever has the highest number of votes tonight

will be joining the Villains tribe.

I'll read the votes.

First vote - Gerry.

Gerry. That's two votes Gerry.

Paige.

Paige.

We're tied. Two votes Gerry, two votes Paige.

Ben.

That's two votes Gerry,

two votes Paige, one vote Ben.

Gerry.

Gerry.

That's four votes Gerry,

two votes Paige, one vote Ben.

Gerry.

That's five votes Gerry, two votes Paige, one vote Ben.

Person joining the Villains tonight...

..Gerry.

Yay! Six votes. That's enough.

You got this, mate. You got this, Gez.

Alright, Gerry, grab your torch. Come on up.

Righto. See you, lads. SHARNI: See you in two days, Gerry.

Thanks, mate. Cheers.

See you in two, days, Gerry We believe in ya.

Oh, I'm just a widdly old man.

You got this, big fella.

Let's go and do this.

Alright, Gerry, you are officially a Villain,

so you're gonna need this,

and I'm gonna need that back - your old buff.

You'll get it back in two days if you survive.

Righto. Alright?

SAM: You got this, mate. Yeah, you got this, Gerry.

Grab your torch.

Head on out. Join the Villains. Wow.

Good luck. Righto. Thank you, sir.

You got us, Gerry. You get that, mate.

BENJAMIN: See you really soon, Gerry.

We believe in ya. Don't forget us.

Infiltrate.

Well, you just sent one of your own on a mission.

But you better hope, for his sake,

that it's not mission impossible.

Grab your torches and back to camp.

Goodnight.

Next time on Australian Survivor...

..Gerry enters the Villains' lair.

Having Gerry join our camp, I think we're going to get along pretty well.

And when the immunity challenge goes down to the wire...

Ben, throw them to me!

Another one! Another!

..could sign language be the key

What's this?!

..to win the closest race

Down!

..in Australian Survivor history?!
