Original subtitles

Welcome to a special two-hour penultimate episode

of Survivor 47.

Like any season of Survivor, this one's been unique,

and it's really centered around two big themes.

Number one: a constant shift of power.

Every player in the game has been on the bottom and the top.

The other theme is some very savvy social gameplay,

which has made it very hard to know

who's telling the truth and who's lying.

And it's led to some big moments,

like last week's Operation Italy,

a beautifully-executed charade

that took Caroline out of the game

and left us with six players.

A final six that nobody would have predicted on day one,

starting with Andy.

Got off to one of the worst starts

in the history of Survivor.

But instead of giving in, he dug in

and he found his footing, and he's still here.

Sam: he had power early in the game,

but since the merge, he's been on the bottom

and has had to play scrappy every day just to alive.

Genevieve: she is social, she's strategic,

she is cutthroat, and everybody knows it.

And that's why she has a very big target on her back.

Sue: she's got an idol. Nobody knows about it.

But her real strength in the game has come from loyalty.

And with the Caroline vote-out, she lost her last ally.

And for the first time this season,

Sue is alone in the game.

Teeny: she's been very open.

She's an emotional player.

It's worked for her, it's worked against her.

But what has kept her in the game are her social skills.

Finally, Rachel.

She's already won two individual immunity challenges.

She has a Block a Vote and an idol that nobody knows about.

That is a lot of power with only six players left in the game

and she's gonna need it because right now,

Rachel is the biggest threat in the game.

All right, tonight we're gonna have two challenges,

two Tribal Councils.

We'll go from six to five to four,

and if you can get to four, then at the very least,

you are guaranteed a shot to make fire

and you got a shot to win this game.

But all it takes is just one mistake

and your game is done.

That's why Survivor is so difficult to win

and so fun to watch.

All right, here we go.

♪ ♪

Previously on Survivor...

ANDY: This is the defining night

for the rest of this game.

ANDY: The goal is build suspicion

that one of you has an idol.

If we do that,

they will be compelled to split the vote.

I'm most afraid of the idol.

CAROLINE: So then, we would need

- to then split the vote. - Yeah.

Thank you, Andy.

This is the biggest heist

of Survivor.

Yeah.

ANDY: And we're calling it

Operation Italy.

PROBST: If anybody has an advantage

or an idol and you want to play it,

now would be the time to do so.

All right, I'll read the votes.

Twelfth person voted out of Survivor 47

and the fifth member of our jury:

- Caroline. - Okay.

The tribe has spoken.

♪ ♪

SUE: Tribal really sucked tonight.

Caroline was blindsided, so,

I lost my only Tuku member left.

I'm just so bummed.

Thank God that I have an idol,

because I'm in trouble.

Andy was supposed to be working with myself, Rachel,

Caroline and Teeny, but

Andy freakin' flipped.

So right now, I want to rip Andy's head off his shoulders.

Ugh!

So frustrated. So frustrated.

[laughing]

Oh, my God.

ANDY: Tribal was incredible.

Operation Italy.

It went off to perfection.

And to sit here

having pulled off the biggest move of the season,

this is the feeling you want when you come out here.

Like, I'm playing Survivor for real.

I'm actually doing it, and... [laughs]

I love... It's-it's...

Okay, can I say, I'm so happy to hear that?

I-I feel the love tonight.

- No. - No.

GENEVIEVE: Tonight, Sam and I were both

on the chopping block, so,

by all accounts, I should not be sitting here today

to speak about the success of Operation Italy.

It was such a long shot, but

it worked. [laughs]

Andy-- he is...

better at this game than we all thought

or... we're all worse than we thought.

SUE: I've never seen someone flip-flop so much in my life.

Just... I have no respect for people

that just flip-flop, but whatever.

I'm so pissed at him.

It is safe to say that not one single thing went the way

I thought it was going to go at Tribal Council.

Me, Rachel and Sue all look like idiots

because we had a plan.

And Andy flipped on us. And so, we need to talk right now.

Because what the hell, Andy?

That was insane to do.

Why don't we run this back first and let's explain

- what just happened. - Well, I-I thought of this

on the way to Tribal Council.

I was like, "This is better in pretty much every way."

So, we spilt up Caroline, Sue

and Rachel.

TEENY: It seemed like

Genevieve and Sam knew

you were going to do this all along.

No. [laughs]

I know I need to do damage control.

Teeny is feeling like I have

joined Genevieve and Sam

in a grand conspiracy to take over the game.

That is true.

But no, no, no, we can't let her believe that.

Those are, like...

SAM: Yeah.

Right now,

there's six of us left in the game.

That makes it extra important for us

to recruit Teeny as a majority vote.

Fortunately, Teeny's kind of, like,

confused about what happened.

And so,

we play it off like

it was this happy accident.

The fact is, you lied to me, thinking I was going home.

- Yes. - Andy wanted to vote me home,

but then changed his mind to save me.

So I told Genevieve to play the idol, which was best

for her, but she didn't trust me on my gut,

- so then she didn't play it. - [laughing]

And then somehow, we came out with the idol

- and Caroline went home. - [laughing]

SAM: I think Teeny, right now, is in panic mode,

and she's very vulnerable, and so,

Teeny bought it every single step of the way.

So, it was...

chef's kiss.

I walked out of that Tribal Council

just, like, smiling, looking at the stars.

- I smiled and shook my head. - And I... I was just like,

"How the ... did that happen?"

TEENY: At this point, I have no idea

what my way to the end is anymore.

I don't trust anybody anymore.

And with six people left, there's really nowhere to hide.

At this point, this is...

- Yeah. Yeah. - Yeah.

- This is who it's gonna be. - Yeah. - Yeah.

If we get Rachel out, this is who it's gonna be.

Even though me and Rachel were working together,

she is the biggest challenge threat at this point,

and she's the biggest fire threat at the final four.

So,

my brain does make a switch. I do want to work

with Sam and Genevieve and Andy to get Rachel out of this game.

This is really a moment

of having to jump ship and adapt in Survivor.

SUE: Did Teeny go down with them?

So, when we got back from Tribal,

Andy, Teeny, Sam and Genevieve

take off.

And I just felt like, in that moment,

I needed to know what was going on,

and I followed them.

I think one of the things that you can't grasp at home,

because you always see the, like, infrared camera,

and, you know, it feels like

there's got to be a flashlight somewhere,

but you can't see anything.

It's dark. It's pitch black.

- [laughing] - GENEVIEVE: I don't appreciate it...

RACHEL: I mean, I couldn't see them. I could only hear them.

- So I'm following their voices. - [Genevieve laughing]

And I basically crawl on my belly

underneath a bush

right next to them,

and I just listen to their entire conversation.

SAM: Sol saved her, she took out Kyle

- with beating him the necklace, she became the challenge champ - Yeah.

- after him. - She's incredible at challenges.

And I think she has a really close relationship

with Caroline.

- So... she cannot win. - She can't win.

- She cannot win. - I think everything is kind of

crystallized, and we just have to gun

for the immunity necklace.

So I find out so much.

I learn that they're all gunning for me.

I hear my name.

I hear, "She cannot win tomorrow,"

"Anybody but her."

- [laughing]: That's so bad. - Genevieve, I told you

you do have nerves of steel. When you didn't play that thing,

I was like, "Wait a minute."

RACHEL: I found out

Genevieve does have an idol,

and that she has balls of steel to have not played it yet.

Do you know what she's got? Does she have an idol?

She does not have an idol. She has a Block a Vote.

She can block somebody's vote.

RACHEL: And finally,

when Teeny told Sam and Genevieve about my advantage,

that's when I knew that I didn't have Teeny.

But the good news is that they don't know I have an idol,

which is brilliant in the sense

that they will never see an idol coming from me.

I...

Okay.

RACHEL: And so, with this information,

I have more legs in this game

than anybody at camp realizes, and I can

hopefully turn this game around.

SUE: In the early morning, I woke up, and

I'm feeling a little broken. I'm just like,

"Oh, my God. Like, put me out of my misery."

Oh, my poor Caroline.

I lost my girl.

It freakin' sucks

to lose my last number one.

I'm devastated, but in the same breath,

it's something else I just got to suck up

and just stand up and start playing the game hard.

I have an idol, but I want to find another idol.

I want to find an advantage. I want to still keep searching.

I just have to believe

that there's one more thing out there.

I'm looking for a miracle. Yeah, on Survivor.

Is that possible?

Is it possible to find a miracle on Survivor?

Are you okay?

I want to dig around this. I want to dig--

Can we please dig around this?

- Hey. - I don't care if that something's happened here.

I have an idol.

I found it day after the auction,

and I haven't told a single person.

I'm sorry. You've been digging up everything?

Mm-hmm.

- ...you don't have to dig here, okay? - Okay.

Rachel shows up. She says, "Don't worry.

I have the idol."

And I'm like, "Oh, my God."

So now I know her secret.

She has a Block a Vote Advantage

and she has an idol.

I feel I've-I've built

a good alliance with Rachel.

I trust her. She's shared so much with me.

You cannot tell anybody, okay?

I'm not. We cannot tell anybody, okay?

SUE: But I'm not sharing that I have an idol, too,

because everybody wants her out, so,

I might be able to hold it one more day.

If I don't win today, I'm getting all the votes

because now that I've won two immunities,

- I'm this huge threat. - Mm-hmm.

- So I think that we can trick them. - Okay. Okay.

- I think we can do this. - Yeah.

I think we have... we have... We're not dead.

- Okay. - Okay?

RACHEL: It was scary to tell Sue about the idol, but

at this point, I need Sue.

I have nobody else in this game,

and if I'm gonna pull off anything, I need her trust.

We have to pretend because Genevieve has an idol.

And so, I tell her my plan.

We have to pretend like Teeny is still with us.

We have to act like we have no idea that she has flipped.

I just want to make them feel comfortable

so they don't know I have an idol,

and I would kind of just be able to, like, smoke 'em.

TEENY: Tree mail!

All right. Day 23, immunity challenge. Let's hear it.

RACHEL: I need immunity

today so badly.

RACHEL: Oh, God.

GENEVIEVE: Oh, no.

RACHEL: If I win today,

I think I can get to the end of this game

because then I can use my idol at the final five.

People, like, assume that I would be down and upset

about my place in this game, and yet, I am sitting here

with a grin on my face, so excited

to just see if I am able to, like,

just shift these pieces into place

to get the result I want.

And so, I'm either gonna

smash this out of the water

or I'm gonna, like, flail in the water

and drown trying.

Bob and weave.

in the jungles of Fiji,

- Oh, boy. - I know.

Best kind of Survivor entrance right there.

So, day 23,

the final six. Let's get to today's

immunity challenge. First things first.

Got to take it back, Rachel.

Second time.

Thank you.

Once again, immunity is back up for grabs.

For today's challenge, you're gonna leap into the ocean

and then swim to a platform

where you will find a buoy attached to a rope.

You're gonna maneuver that buoy through a series

of obstacles until you reach the finish,

where you will race to solve a Survivor logo puzzle.

GENEVIEVE: I know you do, Rachel.

PROBST: First person to finish

wins immunity, guaranteed a spot in the final five.

In addition, you're playing for reward.

Want to know what you're playing for?

- Yeah. - Yes, badly. - You'll be taken to...

...the sanctuary.

Where good things happen.

- Steak. - Oh. Okay.

PROBST: Baked potato,

wine, juice

and cheesecake for dessert.

PROBST: You talk about fuel to get you to the end?

This will do it. Losers,

Tribal Council, where somebody will be

the 13th person voted out,

become the sixth member of our jury.

Big enough "steaks"?

- Yeah. - [mock-laughs]

We'll draw for spots, and we'll get it on. Here we go.

All right, here we go.

For immunity and reward,

guaranteed spot in the final five.

Survivors ready?

Go! First you got to leap.

[Survivors grunting, shrieking]

That's how you do it.

Now it's a swim to that platform,

and immediately start working with that buoy.

You're maneuvering it through a series of obstacles

as fast as you can.

Sam is ripping through it.

Sam is over quickly, out to an early lead.

Here comes Genevieve right on his tail.

Here comes Rachel.

Teeny with a sloppy fall, but it's okay.

Sue's in the water.

It is Sam in the lead.

Now you're gonna be putting that buoy over and under.

If this puzzle is close, every second's gonna count.

Now it's Genevieve in the lead.

Genevieve moved quickly through that second stage

with the buoy and she's in the lead.

Sam right on her tail.

Here comes Rachel and Andy.

Genevieve's out of the water.

You're good. Get up, Genevieve.

Start working on the puzzle.

Here comes Rachel gaining on Sam now.

Andy gaining on Rachel. Teeny gaining on Andy.

And here comes Sue.

Everybody's gonna be in this.

You got to get up on the platform and start working.

There are all kinds of puzzles on Survivor.

Some puzzles come easier to others.

Sometimes you walk up, and you go,

"Oh, this puzzle's all mine."

Everybody now working on this logo puzzle.

You've been wearing it on your Buff all season long.

You'll never forget this logo, you win this puzzle.

It is Rachel out to a very fast start.

Genevieve on her tail.

Genevieve with another piece.

Rachel with another piece.

Andy just gonna look next door.

"I'm gonna let Rachel do the work.

I'll just see what she's doing." Teeny gonna get in on that.

All that means is you're behind.

This is turning out to be a showdown

quickly between Rachel and Genevieve.

Genevieve with another piece.

Rachel with another piece.

Right now, if you were Genevieve or Rachel, you got to keep

busting it, 'cause you got somebody right on your tail.

Genevieve and Rachel

are ripping through this puzzle.

And another piece from Rachel.

Dude.

Genevieve with another piece.

Now it's Rachel who feels the pressure.

It is Genevieve clearly in the lead now.

Genevieve can feel that momentum.

Rachel trying to catch up.

Nobody else even close.

You might have more fun just watching like I'm doing.

Genevieve down to six pieces.

Rachel about double that.

Rachel with another piece.

Oh, my God, come on... [muttering]

Guaranteed spot in the final five on the line.

Genevieve down to two pieces now.

Rachel with another piece.

Genevieve down to one piece left.

And it's over. Genevieve wins individual immunity,

guaranteed a spot in the final five

of Survivor 47.

Wow. That was the fastest I've ever seen

a logo puzzle put together.

Genevieve, come on over.

First individual immunity win

guarantees you a spot in the final five.

- Yeah. - In addition,

you've won an afternoon at the sanctuary, where you are going

to fuel your body for that final push to the end.

Choose one person to join you.

Already Sam is shaking his head

- saying, "Don't choose me"? - SAM: Yeah.

My stomach is in absolute shambles,

so, do not waste a spot

on me on the reward.

Let somebody who hasn't eaten eat.

Um, so in that case, I... I'm gonna take Sue.

PROBST: Come on over, Sue.

All right, Genevieve, you have one more spot.

- Teeny. - Teeny, come on over. - Yeah.

- Yeah, come on. - Oh, my God.

PROBST: Here's what's gonna happen.

Three of you are going to the sanctuary,

three of you going back to camp.

Tonight, Tribal Council.

somebody will be the 13th person voted out,

become the sixth member of our jury.

It won't be you. Bring in the boat.

[squeals]

Limo service.

- Fiji limo service. - TEENY: Yeah!

All right, head over, board your Survivor limo.

- Yeah. [laughing] - Enjoy your afternoon at the sanctuary.

- Thank you. - Have fun.

GENEVIEVE: Desserts!

PROBST: Enjoy.

PROBST: Andy, Rachel, Sam, got nothing for you.

Swim out. See you tonight at Tribal Council.

RACHEL: Genevieve beat me.

So, the majority of the votes are going to fall on me tonight.

But I have a Block a Vote, and

if I play my idol, Sue and I

get to decide who goes home.

There is, like, a pleasure in the fact

that Sue and I

have this power over this larger group today.

♪ ♪

- TEENY: Oh, my goodness. - Oh, my God.

- SUE: Oh, my gosh. TEENY: Wine. - GENEVIEVE: Oh, my.

- Run, Genevieve. - Go, Genevieve!

Oh, my God.

Wow.

I'm going to inhale every last bite of this.

- Oh, my God! - Genevieve,

- thank you. - [Genevieve shrieks]

I win this immunity challenge,

which I am thrilled about.

Never doubted myself.

JK. Doubted myself the whole time,

but pulled it out, and I'm very proud.

- Wow. I'll start by pouring us. - SUE: Okay.

- GENEVIEVE: Thank you. - Let's not waste a single second.

- GENEVIEVE: Pass me the juice, please. - Yes.

TEENY: I'll pass on the juice for now.

I got.. I got my juice.

- Let me know when anybody wants a refill. - SUE: Okay.

GENEVIEVE: My main objective is,

have a nice time with these two women that I have had

up-and-down relationships with throughout the game.

I need to convince them

that Rachel's the biggest target to everyone,

and I don't want to push too aggressively

at this point.

I'm voting for Rachel.

I see her as the-the biggest sort of obstacle

for me getting to the end.

What are you thinking, Teeny?

TEENY: I will never beat her in a puzzle.

I will never beat her in fire,

and I kind of want to eliminate that option.

SUE: Genevieve and Teeny are going for Rachel,

but I know she has an idol. She's playing her idol.

So whoever Rachel and I decide to vote for

will go home tonight.

- GENEVIEVE: Um, I'm gonna die. - Let Teeny fill up.

GENEVIEVE: I'm not filling up anymore.

- Did you put more wine in our glasses? - Yes.

[laughing]

GENEVIEVE: Yeah.

Okay, so when we get back to camp, what do I tell Rachel?

- Oh, yeah. - I think she knows.

That's something I also wanted to say to you is that, like,

when you didn't play that idol, I was...

[laughing]: I have a secret idol that no one...

Oh! Hmm.

The hypothetical idol that I don't know exists.

Because I had a little red wine in my system,

I told Sue

that Genevieve has an idol.

And instantly,

I'm just face-palming myself.

And I just started to be

in good with Genevieve again. So,

I know I made a mistake.

The red wine's talking now.

I've revealed myself as the 23-year-old I am

in that I can't get a few drinks in me

without spilling the secrets

that are really, really important

to people in this game.

You did good, girl.

- Good job. - Thank you.

Teeny has now let

my idol secret spill to Sue.

I don't care.

It's not an idol.

But the more people

that think it is, the better

for my game. I mean,

I should be thanking you. This is amazing

for my game. Great job.

Keep it up. I'll give you a refill here.

Tell her more about how real this fake idol is. Go for it.

- [burps] Sorry. - [laughs] Oh, my...

There's an undeniable amount

of good fortune hitting me on day 23.

RACHEL: Think you can beat Genevieve, Sam?

No.

Why'd you guys all hand her the ... game?

'Cause I think you both could have beat me

more... better than you could have beaten Genevieve.

And I don't understand.

- How do you feel about your big move, Andy? - [weak chuckle]

SAM: It's three Gata members-- me, Andy and Rachel--

sitting on a beach, day 23.

We've all kind of been on this roller coaster of a game,

weaving in and out of one another,

coming after one another, trying to work in harmony.

And so, this is an opportunity with Rachel

to clear the air, to lay out all my cards.

Like, I feel like I laid a lot of my cards out for you

because I was looking for,

like, who wanted to play the game with me.

I feel like you heard me,

but wanted to play with Sue and Caroline

and Teeny and Andy,

and I wasn't really part of your plans.

So, I had to find another way

to move forward in the game,

so...

I do think you would win the game if you got there.

It might be difficult for you to see, being you, but...

It is difficult for me to see.

SAM: Today was the first time in the game

that I've been very direct with somebody

about where my vote was gonna go.

And you're always hesitant in Survivor

to, like, let your target know that they're your target.

That could backfire on you.

But in the moment, it just kind of felt right to me.

It felt like

the closing of the book of Gata.

It's hard decisions, man.

I know. I don't... None of it's personal.

Like, just know that, like,

I'm pissed, but I'm pissed because I'm just like,

"God, this is close." You know?

- Yeah. - Sucks to get this close.

It sucks to... Yeah, you're right.

RACHEL: Just sitting there

with these two guys

who I've been with since day one--

it's a little bittersweet.

Genuinely, this is a game to me,

and it always has been.

So... like, I love you guys.

We will hang out after this.

- [laughs] - Yeah.

And I'm not mad at you. I'm mad at myself.

Today was my ... challenge to lose, and I'm so mad.

I'm so mad that I lost it.

I knew everything was riding on it.

There's, like, a brotherly sense to them, right?

We've been here for 23 days, but it genuinely

feels like I've known these guys for, like,

at least a year or two at this point.

And so, I think today, it just kind of all hit.

These challenges are wildly unpredictable.

RACHEL: I know, but it's a puzzle, man.

But at the same time, it's just kind of this really

funny dynamic where I'm kind of,

like, playing into

my, you know, "imminent death."

And yet,

I know I'm not dying tonight.

I'm gonna be waking up here tomorrow

and one of them won't be.

[sniffles]

[laughs]

But if I do not have to play this idol tonight,

I get to play it tomorrow and guarantee myself fire,

which is even better for me.

And so, I want to connect with Andy.

I want to be real with Andy, and...

I want him to kind of try and see my perspective and see why

Sam is a better vote than me tonight.

From what I've heard when people chatter about Andy...

Mm-hmm.

...it's never been in the sense of, like, you're a threat.

- Mm-hmm. - And so, I think you do have an uphill battle.

- Yeah. - And I think

if you and Sam sat there tonight,

- Yeah. - as the final two, he would win, hands down.

Mm-hmm. Yeah.

I just think right now,

- the perception of you with the jury is relatively low. - Mm-hmm.

- It's not, like, bad. - Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah.

But it's also not good.

And I think Sam has...

...better relationships,

and I think that I would lose votes to him,

- even if I sat next to him. - Yeah.

ANDY: It's very clear

that the conventional long-running narrative is

that I am not a threat, and Sam is a threat, and Sam is a threat

because he is someone who can definitely garner

a lot of jury votes in the end of the game.

Your superpower is that the way

you move around the world is, like,

a little careless, genuinely.

And.... because of that,

- people underestimate you. - Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm.

I'm sick of it.

I'm sick of being underestimated in this game,

because you just want to be out here,

and you want to be known as a capable player.

I think you do have a better story

against me than you do against Sam.

You've deceived me multiple times.

ANDY: I've gained a lot of confidence

in my decision-making, but I can

kind of maybe feel the pressure of

how important this vote is for my game.

I'm-I'm pretty sick of lying to you, though. I don't like it.

So, I don't have an answer right now.

Yeah, no rush.

ANDY: At this point,

I need my perception to turn. So,

I'm closing zero doors right now.

Absolutely zero doors, and I don't know what I'm gonna do.

[laughs]

♪ ♪

SAM: Hi.

Hi.

- ANDY: How was it? - Good.

- Hello, Beka. - SAM: Hello.

TEENY: Full.

GENEVIEVE: Coming back to camp,

I need to make sure that the obvious, easy vote

of Rachel stays the vote.

And the thing that worries me is

when things feel obvious and easy,

that's when players

think "maybe now is a good time

to do something," you know?

And I want to make sure everyone knows,

"Tonight, let's not do something crazy.

Let's just do Rachel."

- What do you mean? - You mean she yelled at you?

She's like, "I hope you enjoyed your move last night."

- Oh, I'm sorry, Andy. - ANDY: That's okay.

It was literally, like, we sat there

and acknowledged the fact that we were voting her out.

- Did you? - Yeah.

SAM: Right now, I feel very uneasy.

I think I'm Rachel's target tonight.

I think Rachel's coming after me.

She doesn't realize how big of a threat Andy is right now,

and Genevieve is immune, so,

I think if there's a hiccup tonight,

I'm in a lot of trouble.

Andy, what are you thinking?

- Truth-Truthfully? - SUE: Yeah.

This is the endgame. I'm weighing my options.

Would we be, like, a final three if I were to vote with you?

- Yes. - We'd be a final three?

I mean, we don't have loyalty to any of those other people.

- Right. - Yeah.

And no one else has given us a bone.

Yeah.

RACHEL: I would not vote you out

tomorrow if you saved me today.

- Mm-hmm. - I promise you that.

You promise?

I promise. Do you promise him that?

I promise that I will not vote you out tomorrow.

ANDY: The logistics of Rachel's pitch are pretty clear.

With her Block a Vote Advantage, you do the numbers,

it's not hard to see that

Rachel just needs two people on her side,

and she believes she has Sue already.

So if she could

just swing just me, just little old me, over to her,

then we can become the majority on a final five.

Now... that's interesting.

- Yeah. - RACHEL: I think that it was clear that

you're in dead last because Genevieve would have taken Sam.

She didn't. She then took Teeny and Sue

- and not you. - Yeah.

If I look at this game so far,

I've been on a real hot streak,

and I've been pulling off really cool moves

that I could sell to a jury.

And so, what if I go with Rachel and Sue?

What if I knock someone out

that I've been working with very recently?

I mean, that's a pretty bold move.

- Yeah, it's a big decision for me, for sure. - Yeah.

ANDY: This decision is, like, it's game-breaking

if it's not correct.

And if I make the right decision,

I think I'm ready to just

keep hitting my stride, and... and go on to win this game.

SUE: You have to.

You have to play your idol.

I was hoping...

- You're not swaying them. - Okay.

- They're all against you. Teeny's against you, too. - I believe you.

- I promise you. - I know she is.

I was hoping... Andy's a very rational player.

I was hoping by appealing...

No, he ratted you out.

He just told everybody what you said to him.

Everything.

- Don't trust him. - Okay.

SUE: My loyalty to Rachel is real,

and so, I'm gonna go with what she wants to do.

Every single person

thinks that Rachel is

absolutely going home.

Yes.

- It'll be announced before the vote? - No, it'll be when he goes

- up to the booth, it will just say he can't vote. - Okay.

Yeah. Yeah.

Okay.

SUE: Meanwhile,

I know she has an idol,

and I know she's gonna freakin'

burn them so bad.

My brain's been going nuts all day,

'cause I'm thinking, weighing my options.

Um, but...

it's best for me to vote you out tonight.

Okay.

And I want to say a couple things about that.

In terms of

my move last night,

I do feel like I have

maybe some more information

that is influencing these decisions

- Okay. - than it appears now.

And so, I would ask you,

as a friend,

to keep a little bit of an open mind

to some of the decisions I'm making, and...

Yeah, you'll be on the jury, but I want...

I actually care more about you respecting me

- because I... because of how much I respect you. - Okay.

RACHEL: I know I'm not going home tonight, but

clearly, everyone thinks I don't have anything, and so,

uh, I allow Andy

to tell me all about his game

and how he's been playing.

I think that there's a lot that I've done

on purpose in this game

in which a final Tribal Council would be a really good venue

- to talk about. - Mm-hmm.

I would guess that this approach from Andy is coming

from a place of jury management.

He thinks that I'm heading to the jury next.

And hearing Andy kind of talk about himself--

it does give me pause.

I started seeing him

as more of a threat than I was giving him credit for.

And I wanted to just

- say goodbye to you. - Mm.

Andy is trying to win me over,

but instead it actually just made me question

whether Andy was a better option

to go home tonight than Sam.

On the one hand, Sam has played a good game.

He's also the half of this

Genevieve-Sam impenetrable duo,

and that's dangerous for my endgame.

On the other hand, I think Andy

is playing a much better game

than anyone is giving him credit for.

Andy has pulled the wool over my eyes three times in this game,

and I've fallen for it every time.

So he is doing something right.

This vote is very important because

I'm choosing the second to last member of the jury.

And the fun part of this is that I know

I'm not actually going home tonight

and that they don't know

that one of them is going home.

I have the most power that I could possibly have

in this game right now.

♪ ♪

Now bring in the members of our jury.

PROBST: All right, let's start

with the last Tribal Council.

Clearly, a massive blindside.

Teeny, did anybody ever get to the bottom of what happened?

TEENY: Well, there's been quite a handful

of votes in this game

where I haven't known exactly what was going on.

And yesterday, I felt in a state of delirium

because I truly did not understand

how Caroline went home

in accordance to the plans that I had made yesterday.

And I feel like

it was almost an accidental sort of situation

that happened. And I know that's hard to explain

and put a finger on, but that's

- how I feel it happened. - PROBST: Sam, do you concur with that--

- it was kind of an accident? - SAM: Yeah, I mean,

it feels like there was a lot of people sort of disconnected on

what their role in a particular plan was.

So, like, even those of us that ended up with our plan

coming to fruition were a bit surprised

- at how it came to fruition. - RACHEL: Jeff,

can I call ...? [laughs]

- PROBST: Yeah. - Andy flipped.

- Like, that's what happened. - Yeah.

Like, I don't know why we're pretending like we don't know

what happened. Like...

But I had no idea that Andy was gonna do it.

I'm not saying you knew that that was the vote,

but I'm saying that, like, you guys

were targeting Caroline

and Andy was supposed to vote Genevieve,

and he voted Caroline. So,

I don't understand where the confusion is coming from.

Does that line up for you, Andy?

I think what the confusion

that people are talking about is that there are plans,

and then there's layers within other plans.

- But Rachel was very direct and simplified it. - Yeah. Oh,

did I flip? Yes.

PROBST: So, Rachel,

what was the fallout in the context of the community,

the tribe dynamic?

Ah. What a question, Jeff.

Um, maybe if you would ask me

a different day, I would have a different answer.

But today was my do-or-die day,

and without winning that necklace,

everybody that's sitting here except Sue

looked me in the eye and said, "I'm voting for you tonight."

"Like, we have to vote you out because this and this and this."

And, like, you know, we kind of

had a funeral today for me.

PROBST: Andy, is that how it went down for you?

Everybody just told Rachel, "It's you tonight"?

ANDY: That did happen

and, from my perspective...

...I've lied to Rachel a lot.

I've lied to Rachel a lot in this game.

I blindsided her three times.

We've had such up-and-down strategic relationship,

mostly down, but a really powerful personal connection.

And I look at Rachel and I see

an all-around superb Survivor player.

So, I was just kind of sick of lying to her,

even though it's part of the game.

PROBST: Genevieve, did you share

your personal feelings about Rachel

- and why you're voting for her tonight as well? - Yeah.

And it's because-- and jump in if you disagree--

like, Rachel and I know

we are on opposite sides of the tribe,

and neither of us were going to bend

and neither of us wanted to BS the other.

Like, we're like Voldemort and Harry Potter.

We just, like, can't...

We're weirdly intertwined,

but one of us has to die, you know?

GENEVIEVE: But I'm not sitting here counting Rachel out

because Rachel's an amazing player,

and something may still happen tonight.

So while we had her funeral,

she may rise from the dead and-and come back, so,

- I need to vote for Rachel. - Sam, how about for you?

SAM: Yeah. Um, I adore Rachel.

We've tried to get our games to align multiple times,

and that hasn't happened.

And so at some point, you'd say,

"I don't know if I can work with you,

so I have to vote for you."

PROBST: So, Teeny, was there any other layer

this afternoon at camp

or was it just this: "We're gonna all tell Rachel

"she's too good, she's going home, and then

the community will decide what's gonna happen tomorrow"?

I think a big part of this decision

is having awareness of your own game

and your own strengths going into this end portion.

You know, we have one more vote

before it comes down to fire-making.

I know my own skill set. I know Rachel's.

Rachel is going to beat me in fire if we get there.

So, it would be foolish for me

to sit next to her in that position.

Sue, did you partake in this?

SUE: Well, I'm-I'm the opposite end of the spectrum.

Just like with Gabe and Caroline,

I am not voting for Rachel.

Everybody else knows that as well.

So, Rachel, if this is true, and it's you tonight,

you spent 23 days

in the jungles of Fiji.

- What do you take from this? - RACHEL: I mean,

this is something that I've been dreaming about

for years, and...

it's been everything I ever wanted it to be.

And I think the coolest part about, like,

turning that corner where I was just

allowing myself the freedom to really play

is that I started to actually have fun.

There was, like, a levity to it,

talking and laughing and just slowing down.

And as I had a better time,

everyone else seemed to respond to me a little bit better, too.

And so, maybe I don't need

to pack so much into my life back at home,

and it will be just as fulfilling, if not more,

is really what I've taken away from this experience.

All right, it is time to vote. Teeny,

you're up.

♪ ♪

Uh, you're an incredible all-around player,

entirely deserving of your threat level.

[reading aloud]

"...return to your seat."

I'll go tally the votes.

If anybody has an advantage or an idol

and you want to play it, now would be the time to do so.

You know, Jeff...

Think the only thing better than

attending your own funeral

is knowing that you're gonna wake up alive the next morning.

[laughing]

I'd like to play it for myself, please.

Thank you.

This is a hidden immunity idol.

I'll read the votes.

First vote: Rachel. Does not count.

Rachel. Does not count.

Rachel. Does not count.

It's all good. I'm-I'm honored. I'm honored.

Andy, the tribe has spoken.

- Time for you to go. - Good game. Good game, y'all.

- Good game. Good game. - Bye. - Bye, Andy. Good job, Andy.

Grab your torches. Head back to camp.

Good night.

[laughing]

I got idoled out in Survivor.

But after the start I had in this game,

I have my head held high.

It's just an unbelievable transformation

that I've had over these

23 days.

And I'm gonna take it with me, you know,

for the rest of my life, and definitely for the better.

♪ ♪

RACHEL: That was a huge Tribal for me.

I finally was the one

that knew what was going on,

and basically, no one else did.

And it was fun. Like, I had a blast with it.

- That was a great job. - Great job, Rachel.

TEENY: Rachel with the first idol play

of the post-jury phase of the game.

Great job, Rachel.

- Rachel... - How long have you had that?

TEENY: Shut up.

- Oh. - Can you explain, though. - I would love to share,

but I also...

RACHEL: The emotion during that Tribal was

mostly just, like, glee.

We had my funeral procession

and little did they know that

I had an idol in my pocket, and

I would wake up on this beach tomorrow.

My clue

was in my French fries at the auction.

- That is amazing. - RACHEL: Um,

I'm very curious where you got yours.

- SUE: What? What?! - You're frick... No, you're lying.

- SUE: No frickin' way. - Oh, my God.

GENEVIEVE: So...

So my idol is totally fake,

and only Sam is left in the game that knows it is fake.

So,

I guess the age-old advice of "fake it till you make it" can

even work in Survivor.

You just have to fan those flames a little bit,

and before you know it,

everyone's believing you've got an idol.

RACHEL: I wanted to have the necklace today so that I could

play my idol tomorrow.

You winning today was my worst-case scenario.

- [laughs] - GENEVIEVE: Well, I'm sorry, Rachel,

but I'm gonna have to try and win tomorrow now, too,

- Um, yeah, samesies. - because I still have a Rachel problem in this game.

RACHEL: Genevieve and I have kind of been

dancing around each other.

We both recognized each other the second we merged.

I never trusted her

and she never trusted me because I think

like just recognized like,

and we just knew

that we were gonna be adversaries in this game.

I should not care about getting firewood.

I know.

GENEVIEVE: Rachel and I don't bother

hiding the fact that

we want each other out.

I definitely look at her

as someone who I don't want to sit next to.

I think she will win the game,

and it sounds like she may feel similarly about me.

And so, it really is one of those situations where

this island isn't big enough for the both of us.

And so, it's Genevieve vs. Rachel.

♪ ♪

What time do you think she went out?

- I mean... - I mean...

Yeah, she might already have it.

Let's find out.

Day 24. It's about time

we search someone's bag for stuff.

- TEENY: Check the pockets. - Yeah.

Nothing there.

Nothing there.

As happy as I am to have made it through Tribal Council,

I am so irritated

that Rachel is still in this game.

I have been targeting her

for days and days now,

and she's still here.

Got to make sure there's no surprises.

Last night was not fun.

Because Rachel played an idol,

I have to think there is one out here somewhere.

And I know, for me,

I can't let Rachel get it.

GENEVIEVE: I don't think it would be in her bag.

SUE: Everyone is thinking that there is another idol out there,

and I'm, like, the smart one, keeping my mouth shut that

I have a hidden immunity idol.

- Yeah. - She's got it, it'll be on her.

SUE: This has been my theme this whole time from day one.

I know everyone's gonna

freakin' underestimate me.

And none of 'em would even think

that I would have an idol.

I freakin' made it to the final five

with an idol in my pocket.

Isn't it crazy? Isn't this freakin' crazy?

She's had a lot of good luck in this game.

- SAM: Yeah. - She has.

If she wins today, it's, like, damn.

I genuinely love this battle with Rachel.

To have Rachel and I as, like,

two sort of similar professional women

in their 30s going against each other--

it makes me feel really good about

season 47 of Survivor.

I can't see anything.

GENEVIEVE: It's a little awkward when I have to kind of

follow her around camp because

if she finds an idol, it's gonna be a problem for me.

So, babysitting Rachel feels a little icky.

I hate having to do it to her,

but I'm pretty open about the fact that,

"I'm sorry, Rachel. I have to follow you everywhere

and make sure you lose today and vote you out."

If you find a second idol...

I swear to God, Genevieve...

It's a fun relationship we have in this game.

The best frenemy I could have asked for.

[laughs] Mm. Agreed.

RACHEL: Genevieve and I will be going head-to-head,

but I'm happy to have somebody

that I feel like I really genuinely respect

to, like, showdown with in this game.

We are going

to clash, and we're gonna see who comes out alive.

Here's my question. If neither of us

make it to the end, who wins?

Sam.

I'm so proud of us.

- Final five. Like... - Twenty-four. 24.

I will never get over it in my life.

- Like, this is just insane. - Crazy.

Twenty-four.

SAM: Tonight's the last time we vote.

SUE: Okay. So, what bothers me

is that, last night,

- when they both came back, they're just - The two-- the two of them

- coming back here talking about how great each other are... - TEENY: Oh!

- Dude! - SUE: To me, that's-- I can't stand showboating.

SAM: Like, sitting in front of the other three people

being like, "One of us is gonna win."

- Like they're so confident. - Like, I was like,

"You're really, like, that sure that we all suck?"

- Yeah. - SUE: That's exactly how I felt.

"Do you see that we're sitting here with you?"

I'm very annoyed at Rachel and Genevieve

literally thinking they're the big threats,

they're the big dogs.

How they've done this, how they've done that, and they're

just ready to duke it out together.

There's three other people

still in existence here.

Like, what about us?

They think

it's only now a game between the two of them.

- Yes. - And whichever one of them gets to the end wins.

- SAM: Yeah. - And I actually just don't think that's true.

Me too.

Yeah, it kind of made me mad.

Genevieve and Rachel have been talking about how

they're the two best players,

one of them is surely gonna win the season.

Okay, we'll see about that.

Come on in!

There they are.

Final five.

What's left of the community.

[chuckles]

So, here we are, day 24.

In your final five challenge, arguably

the biggest and most important challenge of the season,

because if you win this challenge,

you can't be voted out tonight,

which means you can't be voted out of this game.

At the very least,

you got a shot at making fire.

So, no matter what happens in the final four challenge,

you have that certainty. Big stakes.

- Shall we get to it? - [all voice assent]

All right, first things first, Genevieve.

- Got to take back the necklace. - Yes, sir.

Thank you.

Mm...

Once again, immunity is back up for grabs.

For today's challenge, you're gonna race in

from the ocean,

dig through a massive pile of sand

to get under a log.

You're then gonna balance on a wobbly beam while using

a long pole to stack balls on stands.

If your stack drops, got to start again.

First player to stack six balls...

...wins immunity,

is guaranteed a spot in the final four.

Losers, Tribal Council, where somebody will be

the 14th person voted out,

become the seventh member of our jury.

Let's do it. We'll get it on. Here we go.

All right, here we go.

For immunity and a spot

in the final four

of Survivor 47.

Survivors ready?

Go!

First it is a sprint,

which on day 24 is more difficult than it sounds.

Look at that-- Teeny and Sam.

Here comes Sue, then Rachel, then Genevieve.

Now you got to dig through that sand.

It's a big pile of sand,

and you want to get through it quickly.

You know how these challenges go.

Sometimes it comes down to a few seconds,

so every handful of sand you get matters.

Sue is through first.

Here comes Sam.

- Here comes Teeny. - [grunts]

[grunting]

Rachel's through.

Genevieve in dead last through the sand.

Now you're gonna stack balls on stands.

You got to approach from the back,

- Whoa, ... - walk up that wobbly stand,

and then gently

place a ball and then a stand.

- Here comes Genevieve. - Hate the sand.

[grunting] ...

PROBST: Sue has one ball and one stand.

Rachel with her first ball and stand.

Here comes Genevieve with her first ball.

- Oh, ... - These early ones are easy.

You got to use these early balls

and stands to train yourself

to learn, "How do I want to stack them?"

Anticipate what's coming,

which is six balls total.

And just like this game,

the longer you get into this challenge,

the higher that becomes, the more precarious.

Sue drops, got to start again.

- Oh. - PROBST: Sam loses everything.

Got to clear the whole deck.

If you drop, everything comes off.

Genevieve places another ball.

Rachel places another ball.

Damn. No.

PROBST: It is Genevieve gonna lose everything.

It's now Rachel in the lead.

Rachel loses everything. Now it's Teeny in the lead.

Teeny drops. We're virtually starting again.

This is one of those challenges that's gonna be maddening.

- Oh. - PROBST: You're gonna make progress, it's gonna drop.

But if you're playing smart,

you're paying attention to what you did wrong.

Everybody's gonna drop.

This is about learning how to get better

at this specific,

weird Survivor challenge.

Genevieve...

places her fourth ball.

It's Genevieve in the lead,

by a bit, over Rachel.

Genevieve on one end, Rachel on the other.

Right now, in a battle for immunity.

Rachel places her fourth ball.

Genevieve has her fourth ball and a stand.

So it's Genevieve in the lead, Rachel trying to catch her.

It's another familiar situation.

Do you want to press it, try to catch,

or you're gonna wait for them to fall and just keep

with your game?

Genevieve placing her fifth ball.

There are only six total. You've got a fifth ball,

- Let go. - then a stand and a final ball,

if you can get it to stay.

Rachel places her fifth ball.

Rachel loses everything.

The smallest vibration on that platform can do it.

- No. I... - PROBST: Genevieve drops.

It's now Sam.

Sam drops.

We're starting again. Everybody is in this.

You cannot give up. You got to dig in again.

Ugh!

Nope.

Ah...

Oh.

Rachel back out with her fifth ball.

Here comes Genevieve with her fifth.

There are only six total.

We're back to a duel on the corners.

Rachel and Genevieve

have been making more and more progress every round.

That's encouraging, but it doesn't get you the win.

You've got to finish.

It is Rachel right now coming back with her last stand.

Then one more ball,

and immunity is hers.

Genevieve one ball behind.

Genevieve continuing to dig,

hoping for a drop from Rachel.

Here comes Rachel with the sixth and final ball,

guaranteeing her a spot

in the final four.

Genevieve trying to catch her, hoping for disaster.

It's happened before. Can it happen again?

It would be Rachel's

third individual immunity win.

PROBST: Here comes Genevieve.

She's got two things left: one stand and one ball.

Rachel placing that ball.

It's dancing around.

Genevieve places her final stand.

She has one ball left.

Rachel's placed the sixth ball.

Now she's trying to get that pole out of there

without touching anything.

Then she has to get off the stand

and back to the platform.

Genevieve right on her tail.

Rachel trying to keep that ball

- Don't worry. - and stack in place.

Can she do it?

Genevieve drops and loses everything!

It is now Rachel's challenge to win.

All eyes on Rachel right now.

Does she have it?

- You go, girl. - And she does. It's over!

- Rachel has won her third individual immunity, - So proud of you.

- guaranteeing herself a spot - You did it, you did it, you did it.

- in the final four. - You did it.

Wow, what a challenge.

Well done.

Good job.

Well done, Rachel.

Good job.

[sighs]

Rachel, come on over.

Good job, Rachel.

Beka woman.

For the third time, individual immunity is yours.

Means you are safe tonight,

guaranteed a spot in the final four.

You cannot be voted out of this game.

- Thank God, Jeff. - At the very least,

- Thanks, Jeff. Can I have a hug? - Of course.

Well done.

that Rachel has won the challenge.

Had anyone else won,

she would have been going home tonight.

So the best thing I can think of is

I've got this fake idol that everyone is afraid is real.

- Thank you. - Go, Rachel!

RACHEL: Oh, my God.

I won immunity when I needed it so badly.

- SUE: That was a tough one. - I needed it. I knew I needed it.

Great for you. Great for you, Rachel.

Genevieve, you're playing your idol for yourself tonight?

We shall see.

RACHEL: The last couple days,

I've been carrying around this rivalry

between Genevieve and me.

And knowing that she's secure tonight with her idol

and knowing that I was backed completely into a corner,

drove me today to get it done.

Never in a million years thought that that would be the case.

SAM: I tried to tell 'em at, like, the final nine,

but nobody wanted to listen to little old Sam.

- [Genevieve chuckles] - That I was gonna do well?

That you were gonna win the game if we didn't vote you out.

RACHEL: What?!

- Yeah. - You did not.

SAM: Swear.

Rachel wins immunity, her third win.

The most defeating of them all to this point.

Rachel's got her ticket to the final four,

and my path to winning this game got a lot more complicated.

If everybody believes Genevieve is safe,

I'm probably the most likely target.

But I know Genevieve's idol is fake,

because I helped her make it.

And so, as close as I am with Genevieve,

with Rachel immune,

Genevieve has to go tonight.

I might be making

a million-dollar mistake right now,

but I'm gonna do it anyway.

And you might not believe me.

Genevieve's idol is fake.

- Seriously? - I-I made it with her.

- Seriously? - At the final seven.

We made it on the reward.

- Wow. - So...

- So she has... - She doesn't have an idol?

Genevieve does not have an idol tonight.

- A hundred percent confirmed? - One million percent.

I made that thing with her, and Andy knew that.

We showed it to him on the reward, which got him to flip.

That make-that makes everything make so much more sense.

Everything makes so much more-- Thank you for that.

SAM: I can tell Teeny's mind is melting.

I see her realize

in real time, "Oh, crap.

I've known nothing about what's actually going on in this game."

I see confusion,

I see betrayal, I see fear.

And that's kind of the exact reaction I'm hoping for.

I'm hoping that Teeny will feel

so betrayed by Genevieve,

so thankful to me for finally coming clean that

there will be no doubt in her mind what has to happen.

Genevieve has to go home.

TEENY: So, we could get Genevieve tonight?

We probably would have to convince Rachel and Sue

that it really is a fake idol.

And then get them to vote on Genevieve.

TEENY: Wow!

I actually can't even get myself to think straight.

My brain can't catch up

to all the things that I need

to unlearn about what I thought was going on.

TEENY: There was no clue under a pizza slice.

Genevieve's idol

is fake.

It was never real.

I'm literally rewinding the tapes

on every conversation that I've had...

TEENY: ...and every opportunity

that I've let Genevieve trick me and trick me.

Me and Genevieve are voting...

TEENY: And it goes all the way back to...

Survivor 47: Kishan.

TEENY: ...Genevieve voting out Kishan.

TEENY: I don't understand

how they got the numbers to do you.

No. What is happening?

TEENY: Then Genevieve decided to get Sol out.

The tribe has spoken.

Why?

TEENY: Then Sam, Andy and Genevieve

concocted one of the most intricate

missions of this game:

Operation Italy...

Twelfth person voted out of Survivor 47:

Caroline.

TEENY: ...fooling me and getting Caroline out.

PROBST: The tribe has spoken.

TEENY: And I fell into

every single trap.

How could I have been so stupid?

If her idol is fake,

and I've been granted the knowledge of that,

I would be a fool not to eliminate Genevieve

and end this chapter of her fooling me

with me getting the last word.

What if I told you Genevieve wasn't safe?

The idol's fake.

Sam told me that Andy, him and Genevieve made the idol.

SUE: You think she told him to tell you that?

- 'Cause they're scamming something. - RACHEL: Yeah.

It's just a little bit fishy.

If Genevieve's idol is fake

and Sam wants us to load our votes

onto Genevieve, that would leave

Sue, myself and Teeny voting for Genevieve.

Which means that

if the idol is actually real,

and Genevieve plays her idol on herself,

now whoever Genevieve and Sam voted for

is voted out.

So I should take her, or...

Um, let-let's not make any decisions yet.

- I know. I know. - Let's-let's...

- Let's breathe. - get more information. Mm-hmm.

- Let's breathe. - Yeah.

I don't believe it. There's a big chance

this whole thing is a ruse,

and Genevieve's idol is real.

But I'm protected tonight. I have my idol.

So myself, Rachel and Teeny will make the decision.

Genevieve or Sam go home tonight.

TEENY: Rachel and Sue didn't buy it.

It's hard for any of us to feel confident

in making the call that we're gonna

put all of our votes on Genevieve.

The only thing I can think of to do to get

to the bottom of it is approach Genevieve

with all the information I have and give her the chance

to tell me if the idol is real or if it's fake.

- I feel very confused. - GENEVIEVE: Okay.

I feel like I've, like,

really been duped in this game,

and how wrong my gut was in so many ways.

- Okay. - Sam told me the idol is fake,

and it was in a pitch to take you out.

Okay.

And I wanted to bring it to you to hear what you have to say.

It is fake and I am a sitting duck.

Dang it.

I really trusted him.

I'm incredibly bummed that Teeny knows

that my idol is fake,

but perception is reality.

And so, if Sue and Rachel

do genuinely believe I have an idol

and they believe I'll play it for myself,

which means they will put votes on Sam.

I have to write down Sam,

and he'll write down me.

Or if you want Sam gone,

you can tell them you don't believe him,

and then we pile on Sam.

TEENY: Genevieve confirms it. I've got her.

I'm gonna be able to take her out tonight

if that's what I choose to do.

SUE: What's going on, Teeny?

TEENY: But there is a possibility

she could have another trick up her sleeve,

and they've worked out this, too,

and it's actually a real idol.

- It's ... - She was calculating out.

- There has to be something else. - She's gonna put one on me.

- They want to split our votes. - Like, you think it's a real idol?

I think it's a real idol.

So what do you guys want to do-- vote for him?

RACHEL: Do we just load on Sam?

SUE: I'd like to load on her,

and she's either got it or she doesn't.

TEENY: Oh, my God. I just have no idea

- what we should do. - RACHEL: I don't, either.

SUE: I believe Genevieve's

idol is fake.

She's been playing us all along.

She's conniving.

She's actually brilliant, and she's gonna do

everything under the sun to win this.

RACHEL: Something's going on.

They are bluffing us.

The fact that Sam is pushing this makes me think

the idol's actually real.

And so, it would be a gamble

to vote Genevieve.

TEENY: We've been duped so many times

by these people

that I don't know whether we vote Sam or Genevieve.

My brain

is like scrambled eggs at this point.

And that's not necessarily the best state of mind to be in

when making a decision that's as important

as the final five boot on Survivor.

♪ ♪

Now bring in the members of our jury.

[mouths]

All right, let's start with the challenge.

We had another showdown between Rachel and Genevieve.

Rachel, you pulled it out

for your third individual immunity win,

which means you cannot be voted out of this game.

You are safe tonight. You have made it to the final four.

At the very least, you'll be back here making fire.

So, congratulations.

Thank you. It feels amazing. [chuckles]

- It should. - RACHEL: Um, yeah.

I mean, today, I knew that if I did not win,

I would be out of this game tonight.

PROBST: Genevieve, you had many chances yourself to win it,

but close doesn't matter.

You don't have the necklace. You're vulnerable tonight.

GENEVIEVE: That I am.

And I was trying so hard to beat Rachel because

I view her as such a threat in this game,

and my, like, heart was crushed when she won.

And so, back to the drawing board,

because Rachel cannot be voted out tonight.

Teeny, the last couple of Tribal Councils

have been bananas.

Shocking blindsides, blocked vote, idol plays.

And this is the last vote.

So, what was it like this afternoon?

TEENY: I'd actually like to take it back.

Last Tribal, we were all evidently surprised,

besides Sue, by Rachel's idol play,

because before that, the belief

that I was under was that Genevieve

was the only person in the game who had an idol.

And I gained a whole new perspective

on this game, and learned

some information from Sam

that Genevieve's idol is not real.

So, I think there is so much uncertainty, and the fact

that I ever believed the idol was real makes me question

if I should even believe it's not.

Wow. So, Rachel, this is what happens

when you get this deep into Survivor, and there have been

a lot of truths and untruths spread.

You no longer know which is which.

RACHEL: Yeah. Today, we were

spinning with conspiracy theories.

Like, "Genevieve has an idol."

"Is the idol real?"

"Are Genevieve and Sam working together

"to try and get the three of our votes

"on to the wrong person

"so that they control what happens

if the idol is real?"

And trying to get to the bottom of

what the truth is

was the topic of the afternoon.

PROBST: Sam, one of the interesting parts of this is

Teeny says, "I got all this information from Sam.

I mean, I think I got information."

SAM: Yeah. I felt

it was in the best interest of my game

to let that information get out there.

And as I've learned in this game,

if you want information out there,

tell Teeny. It'll get out there.

- Wow. - TEENY: That's a reputation

I think I've had for a majority of my life,

and I don't think any of my friends would be surprised

to hear it, but that's also the way

that I've chosen to play this game.

And it's gotten me a seat in the final five.

All I can do is trust my gut tonight.

And right now, I've never felt more confident

that I'm less confident in what's going to happen.

But I'm also sure that what I do tonight

will either lose me the game or possibly win it for me.

PROBST: So you're certain

that you're completely uncertain?

Absolutely.

PROBST: And you are certain that

it will either be good or bad?

You got it.

Genevieve just spun me around in circles today,

like she has many times in this game

and I'm sick of it and I just want

to survive it one last time, and that's where I'm at.

So vote for her.

I gave the blueprint. I said, "Genevieve's idol is fake.

We can all vote for Genevieve."

And they don't want to believe it.

- I don't-I don't really know what the problem is. - TEENY: Sam, me

and you haven't talked. I didn't say I wasn't voting for her.

I'm just... Well,

I'm just saying, if everybody's got a problem

with how Genevieve's playing the game, vote for Genevieve.

And that's what I've been told is happening.

- Everyone's voting for me. - But it's also hard to trust Sam

because Sam and Genevieve work together, and, you know,

- come up with crazy plans, so... - RACHEL: I mean, if her idol

is real, and their two votes vote out whoever they want,

- because we all piled our votes on her. - Get the picture?

Yeah. It's Survivor.

I am sorry people don't appreciate the spin

and they don't appreciate the stories, but

what am I supposed to do? Just go,

"Okay, game over. You got me"?

I don't blame you for doing it.

It's not a lack of appreciation, Genevieve.

It's that I also want to survive in this game.

And that's my response to it,

is feeling spun around, but trying to...

advocate for myself and make the best move for me.

It's not a lack of appreciation.

- Don't take offense. - Okay.

Sam, from the standpoint of

the five of you looking to win this season of Survivor,

is tonight's vote the biggest vote of the season?

SAM: I think they all get bigger.

The final three is not really, like, a future plan.

It's, like, reality because you're forming it.

So, yes, each one's bigger

than the last.

- Concerning? - No.

I'm voting for Genevieve. Everybody knows.

PROBST: And, Sue, you seem very confident.

You're not concerned about this conversation, either.

I... They know where I'm going.

And I, so far, have always stuck to my word.

Are we ready to vote?

- I'm ready. - I'm ready. - I'm ready.

Are you ready, Teeny?

Couldn't be more ready.

I don't know what else I need to hear.

All right, it is

time to vote. Rachel, you're up.

♪ ♪

[sighs]

♪ ♪

I'll go tally the votes.

If anybody has an advantage or an idol and you want to play it,

tonight is the last night you can do so.

I told you it was fake.

Aw.

- All right, I'll read the votes. - SUE: Jeff?

I'd like to say something.

I found this immunity idol

that I would like to play tonight for myself.

[mouths]

- Thank you. - You're welcome.

This is a hidden immunity idol.

Any votes cast for Sue will not count.

I'll read the votes.

First vote:

Genevieve.

Sam. That's one vote Genevieve, one vote Sam.

Sam. That's two votes Sam, one vote Genevieve.

Genevieve.

We're tied. Two votes Genevieve,

two votes Sam, one vote left.

Fourteenth person voted out

and the seventh member of our jury:

Genevieve.

Need to bring me your torch.

SUE: Good playing, Genevieve.

- RACHEL: Good game, Genevieve. - Hugs.

Come on, give me one.

Sorry for all the spinning.

[Teeny mutters]

Nice.

Genevieve, the tribe has spoken.

They have.

Thank you for the opportunity.

- I had the time of my life. - Thanks for being here.

- Time for you to go. - TEENY: Bye, Genevieve.

- Good luck. - SUE: Bye, Genevieve.

Congratulations on surviving another stage of this game.

You can no longer be voted out.

Tomorrow you'll compete in your final immunity challenge.

The winner earns a spot in the final three.

For the other three, at the very least,

you'll be making fire, which means,

Teeny, Rachel, Sue, Sam,

any one of you could win this game.

Grab your torches. Head back to camp. Good night.

Thank you.

RACHEL: This is the last stand,

the final battle.

PROBST: Next time

on the season finale of Survivor...

You want it, this is where you step up and grab it!

- [grunts] - SUE: I want to

scream! I'm so pumped!

SAM: You don't want to play 25 days

and come up that short.

TEENY: This is gonna be a bloodbath.

RACHEL: My only option

is to kick ass.

I just got voted out.

Five is as far as I get to go in this game.

But I am so proud of how I played out here.

I exceeded my expectations,

and my expectations were high.

I wanted the million. I didn't get there, but I did better.

And I'm more proud of myself than

I imagined that I could be.
