Previously on Australian Survivor...

Both tribes went head-to-head in a brutal challenge.

Go, Nina!

But a serious injury...

Ohhh!

..put an end to Nina's game.

I can't decide if this is worse than being blindsided.

I know that I'll be remembered for being determined.

I was just so proud that I went further than the Queen of Survivor.

We love you.

And at the immunity challenge...

Up you get, up you get!

..the pain of losing Nina

gave Red the strength to push through.

Winning it for Red!

At camp...

..Jesse and Sam had a bold plan to blindside Ben.

Where does Croc sit on it?

He's close to Benny but...

They were confident they had the numbers.

But with his secret idol still in his pocket,

Croc was not following orders.

OK, yep, yep.

Yeah, nah, totally.

At tribal council, Ben was blindsided...

That's five votes Ben, two votes Khanh, one vote KJ.

..until a shocking twist...

"This advantage allows you to steal one player from the other tribe

"who has received at least one vote tonight."

..gave the Red tribe the ultimate choice.

You guys know where my heart lies on this decision.

But in the end...

..KJ became the newest member of Red.

Bye!

15 are left.

Who will be going home tonight?

I was pretty upset that they didn't want to bring over Ben.

Yeah, it really hurt.

But I'm just dealing with it and trying to not show how sad I am.

It's definitely good to have some more female power

after the boys club was getting stronger when Nina left,

and the girls are just waiting to be picked off.

I need to put my focus back in the game

and deal with whatever's in front of me.

I could be going home. Who knows?

Oh, yeah, that's not good.

Thought they were gone. Tucked my shirt in.

Laid back down, like, they're still in there.

Last night's plan was a blindside on Benny.

And up until Jonathan spoke, we blindsided Benny.

And then boom, Jonathan blindsided us.

I'm just a bit nervous.

Croc's built bonds with Benny here.

He was happy that Benny didn't go.

But for me, you know, debacle.

Benny is at breakfast today.

And now we all have to get up and be happy families.

So refreshing.

Benny, I just think, dude, it's a new day.

Oh, no stress, man.

No stress.

Part of the game.

Like I said, I'm comfortable as, so...

No, man, honestly, no hard feelings...

Oh, cheers.

Part of the game.

Oh, it's so awkward.

He's saying, "No hard feelings, love you, Aunty, we're all good."

That's not the truth. He's livid.

At tribal, Ben looked at me and said,

"I know you haven't looked at me all afternoon, Aunty."

And then he said, "So, you voted for me."

You know, like, I can't lie. I went, "Yes."

It... it's not great because he's going to be playing twice as hard.

And I think he wants my blood.

Nah, Jess. You wouldn't want to. I'd ground you for life.

But, the good thing I've got on that is. The boys over there.

If we could just get to merge, I'm... sweet.

Yeah. OK.

We've got to throw the next immunity challenge

because we've got to get back to tribal

and finish the job while we've got the numbers.

I'm ready for a big move.

What are you two whispering about over there, Kid?

We're chatting about potential lolly shop options.

Good cover.

Ben still being in this game really complicates things.

But thankfully he seems to be putting a lot of heat on Chrissy

and he doesn't realise that I orchestrated that blindside.

Yeah. Good.

- That's a fair response. - Yeah.

Nah. Feel good.

I feel I received votes last night because I am a threat in this game.

People are just starting to cotton on now.

Hopefully...

..you all see me as an asset, not a threat,

but if you don't, best not go to tribal then.

What I'm going to do in this situation

is don't get angry, get even.

Chrissy wanted me gone, she wrote my name down

and I'm going to send her home.

I didn't come out here to spend days in the bush, doing nothing,

having a kumbaya tribe and having singalongs at night-time.

That is cute. I'd love that in togs.

I'm all in now. My goal is to get to merge and play this game with Shay

and be Sole Survivor.

I need to lie, cheat and steal

to flip any burger pattie of a tribemate that I can

to get them on my side.

I am stoked. I am so happy.

I was basically sitting there, like, with puppy dog eyes staring at them,

pleading for them to take me.

And I'm now on the Red tribe.

- It's just a nicer lifestyle. - Yeah.

- How are you feeling from last night? - Rapt.

I'm ecstatic that the Red tribe stole me.

I've got those relationships with Jordie, Mark and especially Josh.

I am really close to Mel also,

so going forward, yeah, I would hope I'm in the majority.

- No. - I'm in with you guys.

Yeah. And we knew that. That's why we did it.

OK. Yeah.

From my conversation with Jordie,

it's really him, Josh, Dave, Mark and Jordan at the top.

And then you've got Mel and Shay on the bottom.

It's funny 'cause that was happening before we heard about Benny.

Yeah.

- I don't to be here just as a number. - Yeah.

Like, I want to play with you. I'm really dedicated.

Yeah. Cool, babe.

- That was the best-case scenario. - Yes.

Oh, did she?

What did she say?

She was complaining that it's a boys club.

Mmm.

Right now, I could take a picture

it's the front page of the Survivor Men's Calendar.

Here it is.

I do love my husband,

but the boys on Red 2.0, they're just parading around,

so it's a bit hard not to have a sneaky glance.

You give credit where credit's due.

A couple of good-looking roosters.

Yeah.

Boys club might need a female presence.

I'm happy with that.

It is a boys club,

but that boys club needs a female to shake it up a little bit.

We need an iron lady.

A real Margaret Thatcher style.

So here I am. Mamma Bear's here to play with them.

It really hurts that my tribe didn't choose to save Ben.

People are welcoming KJ, listening to her stories,

it was a bit of a kick in the guts just watching that.

I think the reason we brought KJ is because she's another easy number

whereas Ben and I together

might just look like a super powerful couple.

My head is going in so many circles I can't even capture one thought

and figure it out.

I feel on the outs as per usual,

but this time even more so because I don't have Nina now.

If we don't win immunity,

there's a huge chance I could be the one going home.

I have to fight for my place in the game

No matter what.

But if we win today,

that could potentially put Ben on the chopping block.

So it's a win-lose situation in this game of Blood V Water.

You winning, means your loved one losing.

Come on in.

Ben,

not only did Blue try to vote you out,

but Red chose not to steal you.

How do you feel about that?

I'm fine with it, Jonathan.

I'm fine with all of it actually.

Red tribe, I know it would have been a silly move

as I currently am a danger in this game.

Pity it didn't pull off.

Chrissy,

you and Ben buried the hatchet?

We're fine.

We'll be fine.

So, you went from "we are fine" to "we will be fine".

- We're OK. - We're fine, Aunty.

We're fine.

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

Yeah.

Immunity challenge.

First things first.

Thank you.

Once again, immunity is back up for grabs.

For today's challenge, you're going to work together

to move balls through a series of mazes.

On my go, you're going to use a paddle to manoeuvre your ball

through a maze and then pass it to your next tribemate.

If at any point your ball drops, you need to start again.

First tribe to transfer all three balls to the finish

wins immunity, safe from the vote.

Losers, tribal council,

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

Red, you have an extra player.

You're gonna need to sit someone out.

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

Who's it going to be?

Jordan, you're on the bench.

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

Alright. Here we go. For immunity...

Survivors, ready?

Go!

Ben first up for Blue.

Ben drops the first ball.

Mark for Red.

Drop the ball and you'll need to start over again.

That's just part of this challenge.

There's definitely a learning curve here.

Ben taking his time...

..to prove to his tribe

he has what it takes.

Wants to prove them wrong, voting him out last night.

Mark, working his way through that maze with military precision.

Mark, trying to transfer that first ball to Jordie.

This could be the trickiest part of the challenge.

Jordie on the second maze for Red,

Ben coming up to the transfer.

Nicely done with Khanh.

He's now moving on to the second maze for Blue.

Khanh, working quickly now, wasting no time.

Meanwhile, Mark drops the second ball.

Jordie,

trying to transfer that first ball to KJ.

Khanh,

nice transfer to Sam.

She's moving on.

Ben working on the second ball now for Blue.

No-one wants to make a mistake at this stage.

Jesse coming through with that first ball,

transferring it to Chrissy.

Oh, it's looking wobbly.

Oh no, that means that he needs

to go all the way back to the start of his maze,

costing Blue some precious time.

Meanwhile, Mark, working on the third ball for Red.

KJ is close to getting through her maze.

Stay there until he gets it, KJ.

Transferring it to Josh. Nicely done.

Red had the lead.

They have all their balls in the maze.

Ben waiting with the last ball for Blue.

Lots of pressure on Sam to figure this out.

Alright, guys. Take your time.

Jesse. Put yours up, OK?

- Turn, tilt. - Tilt.

- Turn, turn, turn, tilt. - Level it out. Tilt. Good.

Nice handover to Jesse.

He's moving on.

As Red continues to pull away.

You need to get all three balls to the end.

Anything could happen.

Immunity on the line, somebody is going home tonight.

Juicy gets through with that first ball.

Very careful.

Nice transfer.

Shay moving on now.

Red continue to extend their lead.

Ben, trying to coach all his tribemates through this maze.

He does not want to go back to tribal council tonight.

Slowly go.

- Yes. - Croc gets through.

- Yes. - Wobbly transfer to Michelle.

But she saves it.

Push through. Push through. Push through.

Traffic jam over at Red,

waiting for Shay

to get her ball through her maze.

Slowly.

Shay hands it over to Mark,

coming up the rear.

Michelle fumbling around with her maze.

No... no frustration, it's all G.

Mark working his way through with that first ball.

Michelle, holding up progress at Blue...

Tilt your back arm. Tilt your back arm.

..creating the traffic jam.

Mark really focusing.

Doesn't want to screw it up for them now.

Mark, military precision.

Ye... yes, Marky.

Yes, Mark!

Mark finally drops the first ball for Red.

Red is leading, one ball in the chute,

two more to go.

Finally, Michelle is through.

Successful handoff to Ben.

Ben trying to work quickly now.

Meanwhile, Shay coming through with the second ball.

Ben desperate to bank the first ball for Blue.

Drops it in the chute, putting them on the board.

We are tied, one each.

Mark has the second ball now.

Michelle feeling the pressure.

Almost through,

carefully handing it off to Ben.

He's good.

Ben with the second ball now trying to hunt down Mark.

Mark's right there. He drops the second ball for Red.

Ben drops the second ball for Blue.

Shay, with the last ball for Red.

Almost through her maze.

Chrissy, working quickly trying to catch her.

You can feel the pressure.

No-one wants to make a mistake at this stage.

- Pass the bloody thing, - Chrissy gets through.

Oh, wobbly transfer, they lose it.

- She's going to need to start again. - Go. Go. Go.

Grrr...!

Opening the door for Red, taking the pressure off them.

Ohh...

If Shay drops here, she's going to need to go back and start again.

Nice transfer to Mark.

It's all on Mark's shoulders now.

Blue hoping for a mistake from Red.

That will be the only way they could catch them.

Croc, he's handing off to Michelle.

A lot of pressure on Michelle now.

Mark, getting very close.

He does not want to screw it up at this stage.

And that's it!

Mark drops the ball.

Red wins immunity, sending Blue to tribal council.

Better not be *** me again.

Red, congratulations.

Once again, immunity is yours.

Cool. Thanks. Cheers.

Thanks, guys.

Alright. You are safe. Nobody going home.

Grab your gear, head on out. Enjoy your night off.

See ya.

Alright, Blue, tribal council tonight, where one of you will become

the ninth person voted out of Blood V Water.

Head on out. I'll see you tonight.

We lost the immunity challenge,

but I'm super stoked about it.

That means we get to go to tribal tonight

and absolutely finish the job and send Benny home.

So, we've lost the challenge, but Ben is the obvious vote tonight.

He got five votes last night at tribal council.

he should have been going home.

And so it makes sense to finish, you know, unfinished business.

What are you thinking?

I just said that my head's at Benny

- because he said me and you, and I find that hard to get over. - Yeah.

- Let's just all go on, Benny. - OK. I'm happy...

My thought is that everyone on the other side

already knows that he's dangerous.

Ben goes to merge,

we have no idea what kind of chaos he's going to create.

It was emotional for me yesterday.

The last couple of days was hard.

Guys, we've been strong

from the beginning.

I've seen us as a four.

We already have the numbers to get rid of him.

So we just need to finish the job.

- OK. - Cool.

Between Croc, Chrissy, Jesse and I, we have a majority on Ben.

- Take care of business. - Yep.

Sounds good.

This is our time to strike.

I'm weighing up whether I stay loyal to my loved one, Chrissy,

and join her little band of merry men

and the allegiances that she's made...

..or play my own game and then dictate my terms come merge.

Ben and I have been tight since day one.

I didn't vote for him last night.

Obviously, he was luckily saved at the last minute.

I don't want to see him sent home.

I've got an idol as well.

That gives me the power to take the bull by the horns,

steer this in the direction I wanted to steer in,

go for a much bigger threat in this game.

Would you like to vote with me?

Flip this game on its head.

I think he's more of a threat.

If Jesse and Jordie get to merge, they are both challenge beasts,

both really smart, strategic, great social games,

it's gonna be really hard to beat them together.

If we go to merge now, right?

You guys are on the minority,

Chrissy and I will be at the bottom of the majority.

And they'll just use us to vote off whoever they want

until they're ready to pick us off.

The reality of what's going to happen.

Just go five on Jesse.

One, two, three four... and Ben.

As long as we've got a majority of four, we're good.

Yeah, it definitely makes sense,

but it's not who I want to play with over there.

It's a big move. And it's risky.

Jesse, his alliance,

who he's been with, his OG,

it's just blowing my mind...

..that I've literally adopted the Kid.

And for some reason, Croc's throwing him under the bus.

This is not going to be good for me.

- Yeah. - Gonna flip this ***.

OK.

Yeah?

- Are you down? - On who?

- Jesse. - Jesse.

- That makes sense? - Makes sense. Yeah.

And then we control the game.

Alright.

- Are you down or not? - Yeah. Down.

After presenting my plan to Ben,

I do feel comfortable that he realises

that this is the best option.

I've said I've got his back.

He reassured me that he's got mine

and fingers crossed all goes to plan.

I guess our game starts now.

- Mine started last night. - Yeah.

I actually thought about it.

What are we gonna do, Khanhy? Let's get some rice on.

Yeah.

- Are you genuine? - Genuine.

Asked me if you trust me and I said, sure.

He wants to save me, but he wants to blindside you.

I could quite easily go over Croc's plan and play it safe.

But right now, after being blindsided last night,

I don't want to play it safe anymore.

He just said, "We'll get the Kid."

- I was like, whoa. - That's rough.

It sucks, doesn't it?

Croc's going to flip this and blindside you tonight.

There you go. How's that feel?

- Are you Genuine? - Genuine.

He just said, "We'll get the Kid."

- I was like... - Jeez. That's rough.

And I just said, "Sure, no worries."

- Just tell me what to write down. - Yeah.

But I'm with you two.

I'm showing my loyalty here as well.

If I didn't say that, you would have had whoever is over there,

voting for you tonight.

That really shocked me.

I felt close with Croc.

I don't know what's happened between Croc and I.

The plan was to absolutely finish the job and send Benny home.

But right now, if Croc's throwing my name out,

I might actually want to work with him.

- Okay, this is now the new three. - Yeah.

- Yeah. - Happy to send the big guy home.

I'm happy to do that.

Let's switch this around and say, "Bye-bye, Croc."

You reckon you can get Michelle on board?

Yeah. It'll be us three, plus Michelle, so that's four on Croc.

Alright.

Make sure you just tell Chrissy that it's on me,

same as what it was.

- That sounds good, bro. - Yeah.

I'll talk to Michelle.

The plan tonight involves myself, Sammy, Jesse,

and then we've got to get Michelle on board

so we've got majority of four to vote the big guy Croc out tonight.

We'll just need to make sure that Croc and Chrissy don't find out.

Grab a couple more sticks of timber.

I have very big loyalty to yourself

- and I know you have my back because I have yours. - Yeah.

- We're going to get Croc. - OK.

I never promised him I wouldn't put his name down.

I mean, it's like a part of the game, right?

But then we also have to think, like, long-term,

what will be the best thing going forward?

So...

It's tough.

She wasn't happy about it,

but I have a strong connection with Michelle from Old Red,

so I believe she's got my back.

- OK. - It's going to be us four.

- Yeah. - Yeah.

I'm 1,000% confident that we have the numbers.

Yeah.

Very different pages.

Well, what am I going to do? Go by myself or go with Croc?

- I'm in a shit position. It's as simple as that. - Yeah.

The plan was to finish the job on Benny.

Now Croc wants Jesse to go tonight,

which is just an absolute mic drop for me.

He's like my kid. I don't know if I can protect him.

I feel sick.

The hardest thing for me tonight is heart versus head.

Do I go with Croc because I know he's got the head?

Or do I head into tribal using my heart?

I just don't want to vote for Jesse.

So...

This is no different to last night.

Yeah. I know. But it just feels a bit shady.

Yeah.

I'm not going to change my vote. Simple as that.

Yeah.

Cool.

That's all, like, yeah, that's right,

I think it's pretty much everyone's just doing

- the same thing as last night. - Last night.

And then simple.

Benny goes, take two.

How you feeling, Aunty?

It's not poker. It's no clue.

The whole reason I'm here, my social game,

which is to make friends with everybody and know what's happening.

Croc is basically like, "No, we're going to go with the strategy side."

What a debacle.

If I was to go with Croc's plan and vote for Jesse tonight,

that makes me nauseous.

Jesse's like my kid.

This is a hideous Blood V Water.

Right this second, it's not looking good.

This is a really difficult position for Chrissy to be in.

I hope she's on board.

But I've cut the emotional attachment.

I'm thinking now of what's going to be best

for me and Chrissy come merge.

Right now, there's really three plans.

The original plan to get Ben out.

Croc's plan for throwing my name out to blindside me.

And there's the plan to blindside Croc himself.

I'm really nervous because I'm not sure where the votes will go.

Alright.

Chrissy.

Fill me in.

The tribe blindsides Ben,

but you end up going back to camp with him.

What happened next?

Benny was a good sport.

He didn't have a tantrum like I would have.

We debriefed. We all went to sleep. Today's another day.

So, Ben, last night you said that if you went back to camp with Blue

that it would be a fresh start for you.

Has that been the case?

Yeah, I mean, waters were rough yesterday, obviously.

So I feel that Water has found its natural level.

So, Chrissy, Ben says, "Hey, we're all good,"

but are you concerned that he might be out for blood now?

Maybe he can forgive us, but not forget.

We'll have to wait and see. I don't know.

I don't know if I'd be as cool as he's been.

So, Sam, Ben says he's OK, but if we're honest,

he took a couple of arrows last night.

I mean, he's like a wounded beast on the tundra, right?

So what are you going to do?

Are you going to finish him off

or are you going to let him limp on

knowing that eventually he's going to bleed out?

Ben is a very worthy and fierce competitor in this game.

You know, blindsiding him last night

was respect to what his potential game could be.

But, you know, perhaps yesterday was too early to do that.

So, Ben, do you believe what Sam is saying

or do you think she's just telling you what you want to hear?

No, I believe it,

and it is an honour to be called a threat in this game.

So, you're wearing it as a badge of honour.

A little badge of honour. Yeah.

So, Jesse, when a plan fails, do you simply just try again?

Or is it an opportunity to explore other options?

I think no day in Survivor is the same,

and things change really quickly around here.

So, if you're not open to options, then you might be left behind.

- Great news for you, Ben. - Fantastic news for me.

Last night, Jonathan, I thought

there were some definitive lines in the sand,

but going back to camp and dusting those lines aside,

we unpacked a lot.

Did it make it clear for you who you can work with

and who you can't work with?

It definitely made it clear.

So, Khanh, last time we were here, you received two votes.

Are you expecting to receive votes again tonight?

I've heard a couple of names thrown around today

and mine wasn't one of them.

So that kind of scares me a bit because if you don't hear your name,

does that mean that you are part of that plan,

that it's a blindside and you are the one going?

Croc, Khanh brings up a good point,

if you don't hear your name in the scramble,

maybe it's you going home?

Absolutely.

And it's hard, even though our numbers are shorter now

it's hard to be a part of every little conversation that happens.

So, it's all about who's had the conversations,

what we've said and then trying to have that faith and belief

in your tribe members.

So, Jesse, we've been playing the game for 23 days,

is it fair to assume that alliances have started to form?

You would assume after 23 days there are very strong alliances,

but we've really been one tribe for a lot of this game so far

and have taken a really unanimous approach to a lot of our votes.

Ben, as the wounded beast of the tribe,

I know I can rely on you for some truth.

Would you say that some people in the tribe

are calling the shots more than others?

I'd say most definitely, yes.

But in that being said, nobody here goes without a voice.

So, Michelle, everyone may have an equal say,

but there's always going to be someone on the bottom of a tribe.

How do you make sure that's not you?

You always have to leverage yourself more than the next person.

You have to show yourself that you're an asset to the tribe.

And that's probably the only way that you can get from the bottom up.

So, Chrissy, what's the vote about tonight for you?

Tonight, I'm going to vote definitely with my heart

and hopefully reiterate

that I'm playing this game a little bit differently

to maybe some other people.

Yeah, let's say that.

Jesse, is that a little too cryptic for you?

No, I know, Chrissy well enough.

I don't call her 'Mum' around camp for nothing, so I get the message.

So, Croc, what's guiding your vote tonight?

There's a couple of things in play, Jonathan.

For those thinking strategically,

it's about what connections we've got here,

what connections our loved ones have on the other side

and what loved ones we're going to work with.

So the vote for you tonight

is about what's going to happen after merge.

Absolutely.

We don't know how long till merge.

We could be battling it out together against the other Red tribe

for more time to come.

So it's kind of like you want to have one foot in the present

and one foot in the future,

and it's a delicate dance between the two feet.

Jesse, how do you think this tribe will be different

after tonight's vote?

Relationships are constantly changing.

And I think a few will be getting much stronger tonight.

So how confident are you

that the plan you think is in place tonight is going to happen?

I'm going to say I'm very confident, Jonathan.

Croc, we saw a blindside last night.

Is it possible we could see a blindside again tonight?

Absolutely, something could happen.

However, in the conversations we've had

all sort of on the same page

and hopefully solid run into merge in a good position.

How confident are you that your plan is going to happen?

I'm confident.

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

I think it is time to vote. Ben, you're up.

This is one of the hardest names I had to write.

But for you to ask me the blindside the Kid, sorry, mate.

Sorry, Kid, I love you,

but I don't want to go to merge at the bottom of the majority.

I'll go count the votes.

If anyone has a hidden immunity idol,

and you'd like to play it, now would be the time to do so.

Alright. I'll read the votes.

First vote,

Ben.

Jesse. One vote, Ben, one vote, Jesse.

Ben.

Two votes Ben, one vote, Jesse.

Croc.

Two votes, Ben, one vote, Jesse, one vote, Croc.

Croc.

We're tied. Two votes, Ben, two votes, Croc, one vote, Jesse.

Croc. Three votes Croc, two votes Ben, one vote, Jesse.

One vote left.

Ninth person voted out of Blood V Water.

Croc.

You need to bring me your torch.

Well played, guys.

Been a pleasure to play with you.

- Croc, the tribe has spoken. - It has.

Peace out. Thank you.

I'm OK.

She's allowed to be upset.

Well, tonight you let the wounded beast walk and you took out a titan.

No doubt there will be tears.

Then there will be blood.

Grab your torches, head back to camp. Good night.

Tomorrow night, on Australian Survivor...

Survivor 101 - trust no-one.

..a storm is coming.

Yes, got him. Idiot!

Who will be the first to strike?

You don't bring a knife to a gunfight. You bring a tank.

- This thing is my tank. - And...

Croc's whole game revolved around defending Ben.

That is what a blindside feels like.

Hurricane Chrissy...

He has a lot of explaining to do.

..is unleashed...

Game on.

Sam and Jesse voted my loved one out. Brace yourself.

I should have clicked on to some of the body language around me,

no-one was looking at me.

I should have played the idol, but well played to them.

I didn't want to play it safe.

I wanted to go all in and... um...

..didn't have the cards to lay on the table, apparently.

Croc's going to be so mad at me.

However, Chrissy is still in the game at this point in time.

I think she can actually win this game.
