18x05 - You're Going to Want that Tooth

Post by bunniefuu »

PROBST: Previously on

Survivor:

In the highlands of Brazil...

Pow! [grunting]

PROBST: ...two tough tribes,

Jalapao and Timbira, battled it

out.

The winning tribe at each

reward challenge got to send

someone from the losing tribe

to Exile Island.

PROBST: But in a new twist...

Brendan, choose one member of

the winning tribe to join you

at Exile Island.

PROBST: This gave the Exiles

an opportunity to form a

cross-tribal alliance.

We got another clue.

We got another clue!

[laughing]

Perfect!

PROBST: Which they did,

sharing clues to immunity idols

hidden at each of their camps.

PROBST: They made plans to

strengthen their alliance by

bringing in Brendan's tribemate,

Sierra, and Taj's tribemate,

Stephen.

Do you want to be a part of

the biggest upset on Survivor

history?

Yes, I do.

Okay.

PROBST: But Brendan never had

a chance to inform Sierra,

leaving Taj to do it the next

time at Exile Island.

Once we get to the merge,

we'll have a four-way alliance

that no one knows about and

can't break up.

Awesome.

PROBST: Taj zeroed in on the

whereabouts of the hidden

immunity idol at Jalapao.

It's back at my home camp at

tree mail.

PROBST: But she didn't have a

chance to look for it.

However...

Yes!

PROBST: Brendan made the

discovery at Timbira.

At the last immunity

challenge...

Oh, my God!

PROBST: Timbira does win

immunity!

Timbira evened things up when

they forced Jalapao to lose

another member.

Sandy, the tribe has spoken.

With the tribes dead even at

six apiece, it's anyone's game.



Who will be voted out tonight?

[Taj moaning]

Just...

[grunting]

Yes, right there!

Yes, yes!

Itchy, ooh!

Ahh, yes!

Oh, my God.

You're doing it, baby.

You are doing it.

We got rid of Sandy last night.

I only wrote Joe's name down on

the paper at, uh, Tribal Council

because I didn't want to put

Sandy's name down.

I need to get some more water.

I'm out of water.

I'll go with you.

Yeah, we can go fill up the

bottles together.

Right now, everything with

Brendan, Sierra, and Stephen is

in place.

We have the Exile Island

alliance intact.

Our main focus right now is to

find the idol.

We're just set with the four

people in place.

Now, all we need is the extra

ammunition and then it's on.

Something has to be...

Something must be something.

'Cause it says, "Why the sad

frown?"

That's what it is: "Why the

sad frown?"

That was the last clue.

"You get your mail from it

every day," and, uh, something

"round, and you'll ask it why

the sad frown."

I swear to you... Oh, my God!

Oh, my God!

I found the immunity idol,

and I felt a very huge sense of

relief because everything is

complete now.

We have the foursome in place.

We have both the idols in place.

All we have to do now is make

it to the merge with everybody

intact.

"If you intend to use the

idol, you must reveal it or

give it away to someone else...

the votes have been cast... "

All right.

I just love it when a perfect

plan comes together.

It's so much fun!

[laughing]

Okay, stuff this in your pocket.

Do something with it.

Hide it.

Should we bury it or do you

think I should put it in my

pants?

Um, I think we should

keep it.

They won't suspect you.

They're looking at me.

Right.

So, keep it on you.

Keep it on you close.

Um, you know, if you bend down,

be cognizant that something will

show, the shape of your pockets

will show, so always protect

yourself.

Grab the bottle.

Let's get back.

Taj and I found the idol

together and she immediately

handed it off to me because

I was the one with pockets so I

could better conceal it.

Ooh, I'm sweating.

Oh, my God!

We got it, girl!

I know, I know, I told you

it was going to work out.

I'm telling you, once we make

it to the merge, it's smooth

sailing.

I mean, I'm delighted to

have it but, you know, as long

as it's in my possession, I'm

going to try to keep it in my

possession.

Theoretically and ostensibly,

it is mine.

I'm the one wearing the idol

around my neck.

Ready to get cranking?

Yeah, want me to put the

beans on, get a fire going?

Yeah.

I gotta go down to the river

and wash pots and get water and

all that good stuff, so...

Yeah, might as well get

going.

Okay.

Are you coming, Brendan?

He's working on the fire.

Yeah, I'm going to get the

fire going.

Hey, Deb!

Who's all down there?

Coach and Tyson.

Okay, I wanted to know if

you need any extra hands.

We got it, I think.

Thanks. You rest.

Okay.

So...

Dude, you didn't tell me.

I was standing there and I walk

in and she's like, "I gotta

tell you about this four-way

alliance."

And I was like...

[laughing]

I'm gonna k*ll you.

Dude, but it works.

All right, so...

Were you going to tell me?

You b*stard.

Yes!

I didn't have a chance to speak

with Sierra before the

challenge, so, I didn't tell her

about the plan with Taj.

It could have been disaster.

It could have blown the whole

thing up.

And then she got the clue.

Yeah.

She turned around to me and

she showed it to me.

Yep.

Yep, I have it.

Every single kind of stage

that we've set has worked and

every time we've layered more

people into the plan, you know,

we've gotten more and more

powerful.

Good, right?

That four-way alliance is

insane.

Perfect.

We're going down to the end

no matter what.

Yeah, perfect.

Uh-huh.

It's over.

Hallelujah, praise the Lord.

Amen, Jesus!

After three days of being a

loser when I first got here,

I'm proud of myself.

I formed an amazing alliance.

It's really quite brilliant.

We're going to take over the

whole world.

That's right.

PROBST: Come on in, guys!

Timbira getting your first look

at the new Jalapao tribe.

Sandy voted out at the last

Tribal Council.

Only a matter of time.

PROBST: You guys ready to get

to today's challenge?

Yeah!

PROBST: Today's challenge

will be played in rounds.

Each round, one tribe member

will be seated on a spinning

platform.

On my "go," another tribe

member will race while pulling

a rope attached to that

platform, causing the tribe

member to get dizzy.

The dizzy tribe member must

then make their way across the

balance beam to the finish line.

Each time you win a round for

your tribe, you score a point.

First tribe to three points

wins a reward.

Want to know what you're

playing for?

Yeah!

PROBST: For today's reward,

you will be taken to the Charmin

Café...

Oh!

Oh, my God!

PROBST: ...where you will

enjoy some nice, strong coffee,

pastries.

You'll also have a modern toilet

and plenty of Charmin.

Worth playing for?

Yes!

PROBST: In addition, the

winning tribe will choose one

member of the losing tribe to

go to Exile.

That person will select

somebody from the winning tribe

to join them, which means one

person from the winning tribe

will not enjoy the Charmin Café.

Oh!

PROBST: Big stakes.

I'll give you a minute to

strategize.

Then we'll get started.

Here we go.

First round, for Jalapao, Joe

will be pulling Taj.

For Timbira, Brendan will be

pulling Tyson.

Survivors ready?

Go!

Come on, Joe!

Joe, you got this, Joe.

PROBST: Here they go!

Taj getting a spin.

Tyson getting a spin.

Come on, Brendan!

You got it, Joe.

You got it, Joe!

Hold on, Tyson, hold on.

PROBST: Joe and Brendan very

even.

Gotta get up and off while

you're dizzy.

Whoo, whoo!

PROBST: Taj giving it a go.

Whoa!

Come on, Taj!

Come on, Taj!

Taj, come on!

I'm coming!

Hey, relax, Taj, relax.

Come on, Tyson.

Come on, baby.

PROBST: Tyson taking his

time.

If you fall off, you have to go

back.

Slow down, Taj, slow down,

Taj, slow down.

Oh, come on, Taj!

She's back at the start,

Tyson.

Take your time.

Hurry, hurry, hurry!

PROBST: We are neck and neck.

Tyson and Taj, both very close.

Tyson's across.

Yeah, baby!

Yeah, baby!

PROBST: Tyson wins for

Timbira!

Timbira up 1-zip.

Playing to three.

Next round, Stephen will be

pulling Spencer.

Coach will be pulling Erinn.

Survivors ready?

Go!

You got this, boy!

Go, Stephen!

Get it down there!

PROBST: Coach pulling Erinn.

Erinn really spinning.

Stephen pulling Spencer.

Oh!

Go, Erinn!

Erinn, off, off!

Go, Stephen, go, go!

Here we go.

Take your time, Erinn, take

your time.

Breathe, breathe.

Take your time.

Take a second.

Let it get off you.

Let it get off you.

That's a boy, Spence.

Yeah, Spence!

Keep going, baby!

Take your time, Erinn, take

your time.

He's off! He's off!

PROBST: Erinn with a big lead

if she can hang on.

She doesn't.

She's off.

Come on, Spencer!

PROBST: Spencer now with a

shot.

Come on, Spence!

Look at those steady little

legs!

Whoa!

PROBST: Spencer's across!

PROBST: Jalapao wins!

Jalapao evens it up, 1-1.

That was like beer goggles,

man.

PROBST: Next round, Joe will

be spinning J.T.

Brendan will be spinning Sierra.

Survivors ready?

Go.

Joe and Brendan dead even.

Big sprints.

Hold on, Sierra.

Hold on.

Atta boy, Joe.

PROBST: J.T. spinning.

Sierra is flying.

Hold on, hold on, hold on,

hold on.

You got it, Joe.

You got it, Joe.

Good job.

Sierra!

Breathe, breathe, breathe.

Breathe.

You're okay. You're okay.

Focus, J.!

PROBST: J.T. trying to get

rid of that dizziness.

Like the end of a bad Friday

night for J.T.

Sierra struggling with the

dizziness.

Take your time, girl.

You got it, J.T.

Give it a go, J.T.

Give it a go.

Come on, girl.

You got this.

Take your time, Sierra.

PROBST: J.T. falls off

quickly, Sierra with the early

lead.

He's way back.

Take your time.

He's not even on it.

Relax, J.T., relax.

Use your arms to balance.

PROBST: She can't hang on.

Sierra's off.

J.T. nearly across.

J.T. is across.

Jalapao wins round three.

Jalapao leads 2-1.

Playing to three.

Next round, Stephen pulling

Sydney.

Coach pulling Debra.

Timbira, got to win this round

to stay alive.

Jalapao wins, you win reward.

Survivors ready?

Go.

Let's go, Stephen!

PROBST: This is it, Timbira's

last chance.

Coach, you got this!

Go, Steve-o, go, Steve-o, go!

Atta boy, Steve-o!

Come on!

Stephen, you're beating him,

baby!

Atta boy, Stephen!

Come on!

PROBST: This is it.

Both women are free.

Come on, Syd.

Take a breather.

Come you, you little

ballerina.

PROBST: Debbie up on the

balance beam first.

Come on, Debbie!

PROBST: Sydney making quick

work of the first half of the

balance beam.

Come on, Syd.

PROBST: Sydney almost, but

not enough.

Debbie can tie things up for

Timbira if she hangs on.

Sydney hustling to catch Debbie.

Hurry, Deb.

Go, Deb!

You got this, Sydney.

Come on, Syd.

Go, go go, go, go!

PROBST: Sydney is across!

Jalapao wins reward at The

Charmin Café.

Jalapao, congratulations.

Nice afternoon awaiting you

guys.

Let's get down to the business

at hand.

Who are you going to choose

from Timbira to go to Exile

Island?

We're going to send Brendan

again.

Brendan going back to Exile

Island for Timbira.

You're smiling.

It's evil to be able to pick

somebody that just won a reward

and take them out of it.

PROBST: All right, Brendan,

who are you choosing from

Jalapao to go with you?

Stephen.

What?

I love you.

Oh...

Brendan, that was a classy

move, man.

That was classy, dude.

I don't know what's going on

in Brendan's head, but, uh, he's

made a lot of contact with the

other tribe.

Whether he's built up

friendships or alliances,

I don't know.

But, uh, he definitely seems to

have some of their respect, and

it could get dangerous.

PROBST: Jalapao,

congratulations.

Grab your stuff.

Head out.

Enjoy.

Have some for us.

PROBST: You guys have a fun

afternoon in store.

The Charmin Café is waiting.

The Charmin Café.

Charmin.

Yay!

I like Charmin.

That's awesome.

Aww.

Oh, my God!

We can lay down after we eat.

Oh, my God!

What are these?

Oh, my God!

Oh, my God, y'all.

Who wants one of these?

I want one of everything.

I want everything.

This is so good.

I was very excited to go on a

reward because every time we

win the reward challenge, I end

up going to Exile, every time.

I'm going to eat until I hurt.

Mm-hmm.

All that food.

All the coffee and the juice

and the fresh water.

I didn't know what to do.

I forgot my name.

I was just going crazy.

I was so happy.

Look over there.

A potty!

With soap.

There's soap over there!

I'll take this over fishing

gear any day.

Oh, yeah.

It's cool getting to know my

tribe because every time you

go to Exile, you just separate

yourself from the tribe.

But I'm not really worried

about that because there's a

whole 'nother story going on

with the secret alliance that no

one even knows about.

So, since I do have a plan B,

I don't feel so nervous.

You spun me around like a damn

tornado.

I think Taj being gone all

this time really hurts her.

All the rest of us, we've been

able to really kind of gain

some trust with each other, and

even talk strategy, and she

hasn't had the opportunity to

create a tighter bond.

Hey, you guys!

What's over there?

Oh, cool!

What is it?

What is it?

I don't know what it is.

Is that a menu?

Maybe it's a gift

certificate.

Oh, my God!

Oh, my God.

What is this?

No way, dude.

Oh, it is a letter.

Oh, my God!

From my family.

Oh!

Yeah!

No way!

[squeals]

I'm so happy!

No way!

"Everybody misses you like

crazy."

My mom would write two pages.

J.T. found letters from home,

and it was not something that we

expected.

And it was definitely the most

important reward we've had so

far, as far as just for mental

strength.

Aw...

To have that reminder that,

hey, your family is at home

waiting for you.

There is something outside the

game.

Oh, man.

All my nieces gave me

something.

Oh, this is good, man.

[crying]

Oh, my gosh.

I know, y'all.

Sorry.

Tears of joy.

It's the first time my dad's

ever said something like,

"Be careful and be safe."

She said it there?

She told me at the end.

I almost started crying.

Yeah, I almost lost it there

for...

Oh, God.

Being out here for so long, you

almost forget what home is like

and what the people are like

that you love and to get a

letter, and to just hear them

tell you that they miss you and

they're proud of you and they

just...

Oh!

That was just the icing on the

cake.

I would have been sick if I had

to go to Exile and miss that.

This is not much for us to

eat, you know.

Out of all the challenges so

far, I wanted that one the most.

Mm-hmm.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Brendan right now, the way he's

going to Exile, and the people

that he's choosing for Exile,

is making strong allies.

If we merge, he has control of

the game, and I'm a bystander.

And I certainly don't want that

to happen.

Feel the breeze shift?

I've noticed that the wind

blows this way predominantly.

But when there's a storm

coming, it switches directions.

It turns this way.

But it doesn't look too crazy

because it looks like the

clouds are breaking up on the

horizon.

[thunder rumbles]

Oh, my gosh.

Coach is kind of a jackass.

He's been running his mouth

about the weather at camp.

I think Coach really, truly

wants to be this, like,

"Survivor Man."

I would not be surprised if,

when this game is all said and

done, Coach said, "Gotcha!

I'm an accountant.

I've never left Nebraska."

So, uh, this is your

Brazilian hideaway?

This is my vacation pad.

It's-it's quite stunning.

Yeah.

Okay, cool.

So this will be fun.

Yeah.

Awesome.

Awesome, awesome, awesome.

I picked Stephen to go to Exile

in order to put the final piece

of the puzzle in place.

He didn't know me, didn't know

Sierra, so I'm really excited

to catch up with him about,

you know, how we could work

together, just to make him feel

comfortable with that alliance.

So this is the view from the

top.

Oh, man.

Oh, wow.

It's pretty, right?

It is.

It's crazy.

It's like an oasis.

We've got the hidden immunity

idol.

You brought it with you?

Yeah.

Oh, nice.

You guys actually have it.

Yeah.

I was concerned she didn't

have it.

No. We got it this morning.

You did?

Yeah.

When Stephen and I first

arrived, we started talking

immediately, and he told me that

he had the hidden immunity idol.

I told him I had also had found

the idol, so now this

four-person alliance has both

immunity idols, which is great

because it's going to put us in

a powerful spot.

Yeah.

So, there's more wood.

We should probably just go grab

more big trunks like that and

load up for tonight.

Cool.

Brendan.

My first impression of him is

positive, but wary.

He's obviously an extremely

strong player.

He's mentally strong and he's

clearly strategically strong.

But, you know, it's hard to

trust someone who...

You know, I've known him for

five minutes.

I can't place my entire faith in

the game on him.

So, I might keep this two-tribe

alliance in the back of my head

as something that might be

there, but I can't place my

entire faith on this

four-person alliance.

I had a crazy dream last

night.

About what?

My boyfriend, Kelly.

He had, like, a salsa...

a, like, chips and salsa thing

in his hand as this earthquake

was going on.

It was just really strange.

But it was nice to see Kelly.

Right.

I woke up.

I'm like, "I have to marry this

guy."

I can't live without this guy."

So, no girls to whet your

appetite?

No one does it for you?

None, uh...

None right now.

There are a lot of cute girls at

U.F., though.

Yeah?

A lot of them, yeah.

I'm not in a rush.

There's, there are those people

who just need to be in a

relationship.

They just need to have that

person.

I'm like, I'm not one of those

people.

Yeah.

So I don't know.

It's nice to be free.

Yeah.

Especially at your age.

Feel like that's pretty cool.

My tribe mates are not aware

that I'm g*y.

I haven't told them, only

because I feel like, in the

culture that we live in,

there's nothing really to gain,

or not much to gain, by people

finding out that you are g*y.

I figure, I've got time in the

future.

I'm not getting married anytime

soon.

Gosh, all you have is time.

I know, so...

I don't like hiding it, though.

I would like to be able to have

those conversations.

When we're talking about girls,

I-I wouldn't mind, you know,

making like, "Spencer, what type

of guy do you like?" or

something.

But I know that that's not the

best option for me in the game

at this point, so...

Tree mail!

"Connecting with your tribe

will keep you alive.

Battling the others is part of

the game.

The meek and the slow will lose

one more.

The aggressive protect their

flame."

"Connecting with your tribe."

"Connecting with your tribe."

Guys like J.T., typical

Southerners, you know, people

who are generally not quite as

accepting of h*m*, and

I don't know if he's one of

those guys, but they are maybe

inclined to get rid of somebody

like me just based on fact that

I am g*y.

This is definitely my kind

of game right here.

I can catch and throw anything.

And that's disappointing.

And it's one of the reasons why

I keep it a secret.

PROBST: Come on in, guys!

We'll now bring in Brendan and

Stephen, returning from Exile

Island.

Welcome back.

What's up, Stevie?

Hello.

Oh.

You need some water?

Awesome.

PROBST: Guys ready to get to

today's challenge?

Yeah.

PROBST: First things

first; Debbie, give it up.

I missed you guys.

PROBST: Once again, immunity

is back up for grabs.

For today's challenge, two

members of each tribe will

alternate launching ba*ls out

onto the course, where the

remaining tribe members will

catch the ball.

It doesn't matter what color

the ball is.

You catch a ball from either

tribe, you score a point for

your tribe.

First tribe to five wins

immunity.

Losing tribe, Tribal Council,

where somebody will be voted out

of this game.

Worth playing for?

Yeah!

PROBST: All right, give you

a minute to strategize.

We'll get started.

Here we go.

The launchers for Jalapao:

Sydney and Stephen.

For Timbira: Erinn and Debbie.

Guarding each other:

Brendan and Taj;

Coach and Joe;

Spencer and Tyson;

Sierra and J.T.

It's first to five.

Survivors ready?

Three, two, one, launch!

Erinn goes short over to

Brendan, who just misses.

J.T.!

PROBST: Sydney goes deep to

J.T.

J.T. with a great snag for

Jalapao!

J.T.!

Yeah!

PROBST: Jalapao on the board

with their first point.

Okay, here we go.

Next round.

Three, two, one, launch.

Debbie goes deep.

Stephen goes deep.

Wow!

PROBST: J.T. with another

great catch!

Joe!

In his hand.

PROBST: In and out, in and

out.

Does not count.

Got to catch it in the net.

J.T. snags one for Jalapao.

We are now at 2-zip.

Oh, boy.

PROBST: Here we go.

Three, two, one, launch.

Erinn and Sydney both release

their ba*ls.

Brendan with a nice stab.

J.T. just misses.

Timbira on the board now with

their first point.

All right, Brendan!

PROBST: Jalapao leads 2-1.

Let's go, guys.

PROBST: Three, two, one,

launch.

Both ba*ls in the air.

Brendan with a great snag for

Timbira.

We are now at 2-2.

Taj, come on, baby.

Hey, I am doing my best.

PROBST: Taj is wearing down.

That's giving Brendan a big

opening.

Here we go.

Three, two, one, launch.

Both ba*ls in the air.

J.T. snags another one for

Jalapao!

Oh, he knocked a tooth.

We've got a tooth out.

He just lost a tooth.

PROBST: Ah.

J.T. has lost a tooth.

J.T.!

PROBST: Wait, J.T., did you

just throw it?

PROBST: Let's find the tooth.

Let's find the tooth.

You're going to want that tooth.

It's only half of it.

I-I didn't see him get hit.

Is that it?

You want this back, J.T.?

No, it-it don't matter.

PROBST: Here, I'll hold it.

Give it to me.

[Taj groans]

Oh, my God.

[Sydney exhales sharply]

Are you bleeding, J.T.?

You all right, man?

PROBST: For the first time

ever in the history of

Survivor, a point was scored

while losing a tooth.

We are now at 3-2.

Jalapao leads.

Here we go.

Three, two, one, launch.

Both ba*ls in the air.

Tyson almost snags it for

Timbira.

Yeah, J.T.!

PROBST: J.T., unbelievable!

Another catch for Jalapao!

Yeah, J.T.!

PROBST: We are now at 4-2.

Jalapao needs just one more

point to win.

Yeah!

We got this.

PROBST: Three, two, one,

launch.

Get it, Spencer!

Come on, Spence!

PROBST: Tyson, nice grab for

Timbira.

Tyson!

Come on, Spence.

PROBST: Tyson keeps Timbira

alive.

Yeah, Tyson!

PROBST: Jalapao leads 4-3.

Let it go, Spence.

Let's do this.

PROBST: Three, two, one,

launch.

Debbie short, Stephen long.

Get it, Spence!

PROBST: Tyson right there!

Tyson snags another one for

Timbira!

Let's go, Tyson.

PROBST: Jalapao's lead has

evaporated.

We're now tied 4-4, playing to

five.

Whoever scores the next point

wins immunity.

They want them shorter, yeah.

Here we go, guys.

Here we go, guys.

PROBST: Three...

Short, short!

PROBST: ...two, one, launch.

Erinn goes short.

Sydney goes deep.

Tyson scores for Timbira!

J.T. just misses for Jalapao.

Timbira wins immunity!

[women shrieking]

[J.T. grunts]

Good job, guys.

Good job.

My man!

Mwah!

PROBST: Timbira,

congratulations, immunity again.

Thank you.

Thank you.

PROBST: No Tribal Council,

nobody going home.

Grab your stuff.

Head back camp.

Have a good night.

Good job, y'all.

Great job, J.T.

PROBST: J.T., amazing effort,

almost single-handedly won that

challenge for Jalapao.

Instead, you came up short.

The only thing I have for you

is your tooth.

Tribal Council tonight, Jalapao.

Somebody going home.

You have the afternoon to

figure out who it's going to be.

Grab your stuff.

Head back to camp.

See you at Tribal.

I'm doing everything I can

to win.

Broke the back half of my front

tooth off, but it just seemed

like some people wasn't giving

it all.

I don't want to get rid of

anyone, but it's got to be

Spencer.

[birds chirping]

I was hot today.

I was so hot, I was exhausted.

And I was hot meaning angry.

Today's challenge frustrated me

to no end.

I just, I'm telling you, I just

really felt like it was brutal.

No, it's already scabbed up

a little bit.

Oh, yeah, it is swollen up

around it.

Yeah.

Joe and J.T. got beat up bad.

And I was angry because I fell

short today.

I think I'm a target, but I

completely believe that they're

crazy to keep Spencer over me

if they're trying to keep the

tribe strong because I think,

uh, Spencer, his play today was

far worse than anybody else's.

We're only down one.

I think whatever we need to do

next needs to be the best

chance to make it even, 5-5 at

the merge.

That means everybody needs to

leave their little emotions out

of it and think for the team.

Everybody.

You, him, everybody.

I'm-I'm hot today.

So I don't give a ... what

nobody thinks about me today.

Everybody can kiss my a*s.

Can we talk through this

thing?

We can talk, but I just

want it to be...

I'm not going to sit here and

talk bull.

I'm not going to sit here and

talk stuff, and then we do

something different at Tribal

Council.

Do what's going to be best for

the team.

If it makes you feel any

better, Taj, I trust you more

than I do other people in the

tribe.

Well, thank you.

Me, too.

I trust you, for sure.

You trust me?

I trust everybody here.

Why haven't you never come to

me for an-an ally?

Why have you never come to me

like that?

No, you've never come to me like

that.

You've never said to me and

said, "Let's do this together"

or "Let's try to..."

You've never...

It's a two-way road, right?

Hey, I've tried to talk to

you.

I'm not attacking you.

I'm just pissed today, and I'm

sick of this game, sick of it.

Taj was-was hot at me.

I-I really don't know why.

She can bat every eyelash and

raise every feather that she

has, but, you know, I think

moves like that out here will

get you voted off, bottom line.

And if Taj has the idol, I

think it's the best decision.

I think she's just scared.

I mean, you know, at least...

she has an emotional outburst,

but it's totally honest.

What do you think?

I have a really tough choice

ahead tonight because,

theoretically, I am better

served by Taj going home

without the idol because that

means it's mine to keep,

but right now, Taj, she's my

real connection with the

Timbira side of the Exile

alliance, Brendan and Sierra.

So I'm not totally clear what

I'm going to do.

I'm just pissed off, man.

I'm so pissed off.

I feel like we just let that

one go.

It could very well possibly be

it for me tonight, but I still

have the immunity idol.

And I have Steve kind of

keeping an ear out for

everything that's going on.

He'll let me know if I really

need to pull it out or not.

They're down there

whispering, so if you all want

to get a piece, go ahead.

Today's challenge was very

frustrating because I'm a

competitive person.

And I hate not only to lose,

but also to perform badly.

And I knew that J.T.

was probably going to be

frustrated with me.

I don't have any problem

writing his name down because

Spencer try and guess where it

was going.

That was obvious.

He's not going to listen to

what you tell him.

He's going to do it his way.

He wants everybody to do it

his way.

His way... you know.

Whatever.

I just want to win, man.

We have to win now.

Yeah, I hate losing.

It's rough around camp.

It's very, very tense.

And it's scary for sure

because things switch so

quickly in this game.

What do you think, Spencer?

I figured you'd come back

pissed at me, so...

I was pissed at you,

especially the challenge.

You think I wasn't giving my

effort?

It didn't look like you

tackled him.

I said, "Tackle him."

I knew I was probably going

to be on the chopping block,

so...

I can't speak for the whole

team.

I'm just telling you how I

feel, you know.

I know, but, obviously, you

have pull in the tribe, and...

I feel like it would be

beneficial to the tribe to keep

me for the next immunity

challenge.

I feel... obviously, I want to

stay, but I feel like I'm not

the worst person to keep around.

But that's...

obviously up to the other five

people who are voting, not just

me.

Who do you think should go?

I don't know.

You can tell me.

I think you or Taj.

PROBST: Let's talk about

today's challenge.

Spencer, how did you feel about

your performance today?

My performance today was

pretty pathetic.

I definitely felt like I let my

guys down, and I was just very

upset with myself just the whole

time.

PROBST: Taj, do you feel

this tribe is still staying

together well or, after a loss,

can you feel the effect of

losing?

We can definitely feel the

the effect of losing.

And, of course, everybody's

frustrated, so we're just

trying to believe that the next

challenge we'll be able to tie

it up and go into the merge

even, at least.

PROBST: So how does that

manifest itself back at camp?

Well, initially, we all kind

of blew up.

Well, I won't say we all...

I kind of blew up because I

just felt like it was so

mismatched that... I don't know,

I just felt like we could have

definitely done a better job,

and I got upset.

PROBST: Joe, what does it

feel like to have somebody walk

up and start attacking you?

You don't ever like to walk

into a room and have fingers

pointed at you, especially when

it's not necessarily

even warranted.

PROBST: Taj, does it worry

you that you could have an

outburst that could cost you in

this game?

Anything you do could cost

you this game.

So an outburst is just another

form of anything that can

happen to get you out of this

game.

And at that point, I felt like I

was on my way out the door.

PROBST: And what made feel

that, your performance?

You know what, I don't know,

it's just a feeling you get that

your head is next.

And I was pissed off because,

at every challenge, I do give



win, and to even have the idea

that you're going to go out, and

I'm trying to figure out why.

I was hot.

So whoever was there was going

to get it, and I didn't care

who.

PROBST: Spencer, do you know

what she's talking about in

terms of just a gut: "People

aren't talking to me the same

way, or they're avoiding me."

Absolutely.

It definitely changes when you

get back to camp, and you know

that your head could be on the

chopping block.

Today, I had the same feeling

because of my performance in

the challenge and the

frustration with J.T.

during the challenge.

I came back knowing that I

could very well be going home

tonight.

It's not a feeling that is

enjoyable, for sure.

But I know what she's talking

about, and I definitely felt it

a bit today, too.

PROBST: Taj, you've spent a

lot of time out on Exile Island.

That I have.

PROBST: That can work two

ways: you're gone so much,

they don't have any reason to

get rid of you; you're gone so

much they don't know you, might

as well get rid of her.

Yeah, and, I mean, what can

I do about it?

I don't ask to go to Exile, so

it's not like I had a choice.

There's nothing I can do about

it except for fit in when I

come back.

PROBST: Do you feel the

target on your back, spending so

much time away from the tribe?

I didn't start feeling that

until maybe this week, just

because we're down to no more

expendable people.

I'm, like, that person, I

guess, if they thought I had

the idol, they didn't think I'd

need to be here because,

obviously, I would be a threat.

PROBST: Joe, how do you deal

with Taj, knowing she's been

out there three times, a lot of

opportunities to find the

hidden immunity idol.

You can't ever be certain.

She could definitely have it.

I haven't actually heard her

say the words, "I do not have

the immunity idol."

Would you like me to say it

now?

No, you don't have to.

Okay.

See, so stuff like that

makes you think that she's

really being aggressive about

hiding this thing or lying

about it if she does have it.

If I did say something,

would it mean I did had it.

No, I'm just saying, little

indicators like that,

I can't win.

So she hasn't slipped once,

so I believe her.

PROBST: And yet she still

has not said she doesn't have

it.

You want to say it for me?

I do not have the idol.

Okay, see, I believe her.

Should I say it to everyone

here?

I believe her.

PROBST: And that is what it

comes down to: whether or not

you believe what the people in

your tribe are telling you.

Somebody is about to find out

the truth.

It is time to vote.

Joe, you're up.

I'm pretty sure it's either

me or you tonight.

You played a hell of a game

and I'm sorry it came down to

this.

PROBST: I'll go tally the

votes.

If anybody has the hidden

immunity idol and you want to

play it, now would the time to

do so.

All right, once the votes are

read, the decision is final.

Person voted out will be asked

to leave the Tribal Council

area immediately.

I'll read the votes.

First vote: Spencer.

Taj.

One vote Spencer; one vote Taj.

Spencer.

Two votes Spencer; one vote Taj.

Spencer.

That's three votes Spencer;

one vote Taj.

Fifth person voted out of

Survivor: Tocantins: Spencer.

That's four votes.

That's enough.

You need to bring me your torch.

Spencer, the tribe has spoken.

Time for you to go.

Bye, guys.

PROBST: Well, you've lost two

immunity challenges in a row,

two tribe members in a row.

Worse than that, you lost

momentum.

Grab your torches.

Head back to camp.

Good night.

Who is this jackass?

Well, I just got voted out.

I lasted 15 days, but

definitely could have lasted a

lot longer.

I definitely made some friends

when I was out there and I hope

they feel the same way.

It's just frustrating that they

feel like I wasn't useful enough

in challenges.

It was just a really bad

challenge for me today, and I

feel like as far as my attitude

in tense situations.

I'm going to work on that.
