♪

[crickets chirping]

TONY: Well, good news is that
there's stars out tonight.

-ADAM: Yeah, and a lot.
-So, sky's clear.

MICHELE:
I'm really, really annoyed.

I hate getting blindsided,

to be perfectly honest.

And the fact is is that

I wanted Wendell out.

I wanted him out
since the beginning.

I've told these people that I
was on board with that, and yet

here we are, me blindsided,

on the wrong side
of the votes again.

I feel like déjà vu
from day two.

NICK:
I do, too.

These people are all, like,
bumbling, fumbling idiots.

I can't stand them.
I don't...

-I can't either.
-I-I am over...

Nobody will say a name.
I'm over it.

Do you think
that they want me next?

Your name was
on the block today.

-It was?
-It was between you and Adam.

It could've--
It was probably all a facade.

Every single person
probably knew

-except us.
-Yeah.

I think I'm just
gonna let 'em have it.

-Don't even do that. Don't...
-I'm next anyways.

-What's it matter?
-No, you're not. No, you're not.

Don't sink your own game.

NICK: I feel like Wendell
was kind of the first shot.

This is ruthless and cutthroat,
and...

there's gonna be bloodshed.

And I'm gonna like it.

I'm-I'm gonna get
on that train now,

to where I love blood.

-TONY: Nick, you all right?
-It is what it is, you know?

-Yeah, yeah.
-I'm the only person
that didn't know, man.

-What am I supposed to think?
-MICHELE: I didn't know.

-TONY: Michele didn't know
either, but...
-Well, Michele, but...

But you-you know-- you know--

Sit down, man.
Nick, come on.

You know how
to play the game, man.

You can't--
you can't act like that.

Nobody's coming after you
because we got rid of Wendell.

-All's fair...
-No, but everybody's coming
after me always.

-Always. Every vote.
-No. No.

NICK:
I feel like

it is now my duty to take

every one of these people out
that have double-crossed me.

I'm ready for some revenge.

MICHELE:
I'm okay.

I'm a little pissed,
but I'm okay.

ADAM:
Oh, man.

Tribal Council tonight,

my heart was beating sofast.

[chuckles]: Literally,
like, out of my chest.

It was outrageous.

I was so incredibly nervous.

But I'm here.

I'm here.

I'll smile to their face.
I'll tell them it's all kumbaya.

Meanwhile, I think
they're all dingbats.

ADAM:
Right now, Michele is feeling

incredibly low.

But I see it as an opportunity.

I'm not telling
a single other solitary person.

The little thing--

There's a little thing at--
A little sword.

Mm-hmm.

-A little thing like this.
-Mm-hmm.

...but I'm--

I feel very confident
that it is.

I think
that there may be an idol

in Jeff Probst's podium.

I recognize
the fleur-de-lis symbol from

the idol that Denise found,
so the fact that

there is a fleur-de-lis

right in front of us
at Tribal Council

makes me think that that
might actually be a live idol.

In the chance that I'm right,

it'd be a pretty epic way
to save myself.

♪

YUL:
Whoa.

What do we have here?

"Open when everyone is present."

Anyone order pizza?

-Yes!
-Yeah!
-Kind of small for a pizza box,

-but...
-PARVATI: Is there a token
in there?

-I don't know. It's...
-Cool. Wendell.

-WENDELL: Thank you, sir.
-ROB: What does it say, Yul?

ETHAN:
History?

-So, basically, this means...
-There's something
on top of the mountain.

PARVATI:
When there's something
hidden somewhere.

AMBER:
There's something hidden
somewhere.

So, we got a clue
that said something about

history repeats itself.

So we're all thinking,
"Oh, it's all the past clues

that we've been given
while we're here on the Edge."

It's maybe
the combination boxes,

you know,
maybe it's the trails.

ROB:
Yo, yo, we got to go! The tide!

Step back and assess.

AMBER:
Let's step back and assess
once we get up here.

NATALIE:
We could break off into twos

-or threes, too, guys.
-Yeah.

-NATALIE: What do you think?
-ETHAN: I'm going this trail

-up to the left.
-I'll go with you, Ethan.

NATALIE:
Let's break off.
I'll go with the boys.

WENDELL:
I need to come with somebody.

AMBER:
Yul's got ya.

NATALIE:
You go with Yul.
I'll go with Rob.

WENDELL:
All right.

NATALIE:
Once we were at the top
of the mountain,

I was like, "Let's go
split off into groups,"

because if we find tokens,

I want to spend it
to buy food.

Wendell just had a merge feast,
so he's good.

And Yul just got here.

He hasn't been suffering
like the rest of us.

And so I just wanted
to make sure that Wendell

and Yul are completely left out
of this advantage.

Did you guys check out
this tree?

DANNI:
"History repeats itself."
Would it be something

from the last time
they had Edge of Extinction?

PARVATI:
Oh, maybe.
Where did they find it?

Aubry found one at the steps.

"Step back, assess, 'cause
history will repeat itself."

-Yep.
-'Cause that's what Aubry did.

That's exactly what it is,
isn't it?

-Yeah.
-Let's go.

DANNI: As a fan, the wheels
started turning, and I thought,

"Maybe this is something from
a past season on Extinction"--

when Aubry stepped back

and looked up at the steps
and found where the clue was.

This is mine.

So, it's, like--

See these little holes here?

Oh, got it.
I got it, I got it,

-I got it, I got it.
-Oh, yes. Yes. Yes.

Okay, come over here.

Yes.

Oh, my God! I did something!

Survivor--
I'm playing the game!

-Here, open the clue.
-Yes.

PARVATI:
I feel like a mouse

trapped on
this mouse experiment.

And finding the prize

was, like, my piece of cheese.

-Oh!
-Oh! Now you go.

Wow.

It was, like,
a safe or unsafe coin.

And if you flip and it lands
on "safe," you have immunity.

That's huge.

-Okay, what do you think?
-Should we sell it to Michele?

-She has the most fire tokens.
-And get money

-to buy our food?
-Yeah, that's what I'm thinking.

-Like, should we sell it
for four tokens?
-Okay.

Somebody's coming down.

Oh, here they come.
Shh, shh.

PARVATI:
For a moment, I was thinking

we could keep this
just between us

and then we could have
a jar of peanut butter

just for me and Danni.
[chuckles]

Did you guys find anything?

AMBER:
No!

ROB:
You guys have it?

-PARVATI: All right,
let's tell 'em.
-Okay.

PARVATI:
But then I was thinking...

-ROB: They got it.
-...I've got people out here

who I trust,
and a lot of people

have been here
way longer than me.

So I'm like--
My heart just can't

not want them in on the secret.

They could win immunity.

-At Tribal Council.
-But we-we have to

-sell it to someone.
-Now we have to sell it

to someone in the game.

I know that you can buy
peanut butter with fire tokens,

and we have six people
in our group

who are looking
to eat something.

For today's challenge, you'll be

You'll untie those fish,

to solve a puzzle.

First team to finish

It's Michele and Sophie working
on the puzzle for Blue.

Jeremy and Nick for Red.

All these pieces
will fit in flush.

You will know when you have it,

and you'll know
when it's not right.

This is a puzzle
that will come together quickly,

and, out of nowhere,
you will have it.

Nice job.
Fit just like this one.

PROBST:
Two teams picked by two people,
Jeremy and Kim.

That's good.

-That's good. No.
-This one fit somewhere?

PROBST:
Red thinks they're getting
somewhere close.

One piece left to fit.

Where does it go?

Nick moves another piece around.

Is this the right combination?

-[groans]
-That's not right.

Yep.

Nick and Jeremy are gonna swap
pieces out now.

Sophie liking
what she's seeing over here.

Michele trying
to put in another piece.

Will it fit?

Is it right?

Another swap.

I don't know
what we were doing wrong, dude.

All right,
Sarah, Kim, Ben, Michele,

Sophie, waiting for you back
at camp, Chinese takeout.

-Grab your stuff,
head out, enjoy.
-Jeff.

Can I give up my reward
to someone?

-Really?
-Yeah.

Sure.

-Thank you so much.
-Happy birthday, Nick.
-KIM: That's sweet, Sarah.

-Oh, thank you.
-[applause]
-KIM: Welcome.

PROBST:
So, Sarah, you're fighting

for $2 million in this game,

and you gave this up to Nick
because it's his birthday?

I'm giving it up, but
I'd rather see him happy than...

me miserable,
'cause I'll eat too much.

So, I hope you feel miserable.

-[chuckling]
-I'll do my best.

-SOPHIE: Good job, Sarah.
-PROBST: All right.

Grab your stuff.
Head back to camp.

Denise, you can join 'em.

ADAM:
Sarah made a mistake
by switching out with Nick.

Look, Sarah came

into this game
with quite a reputation.

The way she played
Game Changers,

she blindsided friends
left and right.

So if Sarah's move puts
a bigger target

on her back, fine with me.

I don't trust her
as far as I can throw her.

And I can't throw very far.

♪

♪

NICK:
I'm so sorry, Sarah.

-I will pay you back.
-No, no. It's--

-I didn't do it to be paid back.
-I know you didn't.

SARAH:
I gave Nick my reward

as a human being
to human being. There was--

No gameplay was in it.

It was
a complete genuine decision.

We're gonna go out where we ate
the merge feast, guys.

SARAH:
Nick's birthday was yesterday.

Nick got completely blindsided
yesterday.

-Bye, guys.
-SARAH: This game
is very tough.

We're all away from our loved
ones. He just got engaged.

So I hope
it taught everybody a lesson.

Just as a world,

we can be nicer to each other.

What did you do, man?

What? It's okay.

-No, Sarah.
-Yes.

-I'm not-- I'm not scolding you
or preaching to you.
-Yeah. No.

-I'm just giving you my opinion.
-I-I personally think

-it was the right move.
-Okay.

TONY: Wow. Sarah got caught up
in the moment,

and that one moment on Survivor

is what costs you the game
sometimes,

when you can't get out
of that emotional,

realistic, humane moment

to be that barbaric survivor
that you need to be.

You won, you were happy,
and you became human.

-You know what I mean?
And that's what, you know...
-Yeah, I know.

And then everybody's
probably saying,

-"That was a strategic move
on Sarah's part."
-No.

-"Sarah's playing a great game."
-That's fine. That's fine.

"Sarah's got to go."

Because I gave up a reward?

That's how it happens.

ADAM:
Why were you help...

-Of course, of course.
-Right?

Of course, of course.

-Of course, of course.
-Yeah. For real.
-Like, yeah.

A horse is a horse, of course.

JEREMY:
Sarah gives up her reward

and gives it to Nick,
one of the main guys

I want to talk to
because he's on the outs.

I'm like, "Come on, Sarah."

And I've done that before.

I've given up reward.

And you know what they did?
They voted me out.

After that move,
what she just did right there...

-Yeah.
-...I think that's the move.

BEN:
Kim, thank you for picking me.

Thank you for picking me.

BEN:
Look at this.

NICK:
Sarah gives me the reward.

And I appreciated it, but...

I don't feel like
I owe her anything.

I don't trust her
any more than I already did,

and it wasn't much,

because I know
the game Sarah plays.

And if Sarah was told to write
down my name tonight, she would.

KIM:
You just, like...

NICK:
But, hopefully, there are
some clues hidden somewhere

for a hidden immunity idol

or a Steal a Vote advantage
or something.

And hopefully I can find it.

Should we, like,
open all the fortune cookies?

-BEN: Oh, yeah.
-We should.
-[Michele chuckles]

-BEN: Here we go.
-KIM: Well, this is it.

Yeah.

Everyone can go around.

"Your skill will accomplish

what the force
of many others cannot."

NICK:
Mm. [chuckles]

"You will make changes
for the better."

[chuckles]

MICHELE:
Okay.

Aw.

MICHELE:
This game has been such
an emotional roller coaster.

Last night was a seriously
low point in the game for me.

And then, this morning, I
received Wendell's fire token,

which puts me
at four fire tokens.

And I think that makes me
the richest person out here.

So, I get back to camp

and I notice something
in my bag.

So I scurry off

and I pull out...

♪ Dun, dun, dun♪

This beautiful
50/50 coin advantage. [chuckles]

Okay.

Oh, my God.

That's all my fire tokens.

This coin is 50/50,

and I truly feel 50/50
on whether or not

I should take the advantage.

Let's see what happens.

[laughs] I want to see
how many times I can get "safe."

"Not safe." 50/50.

[laughs]
Living up to its name.

But...

at the reward today,
we had fortune cookies.

And two of mine were,

"As the purse is emptied,
the heart is filled."

And the other is, "Don't be
afraid of taking that big step."

All right, well,
since you're not gonna help,

I'm gonna have to do it alone.

So now I feel like

the Survivorgods came down

and put these fortunes
in my fortune cookie to say,

"Michele, jump on this

"and get yourself
some god-darn power

in this game ofSurvivor."

So I'm gonna

trade in my four fire tokens
for this beautiful advantage.

Wow.

My big concern from day one was

that the lower-profile players,

as I would call
the hyenas of the game,

will all start coming after
the higher-profile players

and pick us off one by one.

So right now I want to try
to get rid of the hyenas

because they're gonna wait
for the lions to go at it,

and then they're gonna come in
and clean up shop.

♪

KIM: Feels amazing to have
the immunity necklace

walking into Tribal tonight.

-So much respect.
-Yeah, buddy.

-I got lucky.
-No.

KIM:
But really, tonight's vote

is not, like, a huge, crazy vote

unless something goes down
and an idol gets played.

Do we try and split the votes?

Do we have enough
to split votes?

KIM:
We have enough, and it seems

that the easy vote
would be between Nick and Adam

and that we would split
the vote.

-We got to find out
how Jeremy's feeling.
-Okay.

KIM:
What appears to be
the easy vote tonight would be

sticking with
this larger group of people,

and then
you've kind of got Nick,

Adam and Michele that are
a bit outcasted from the group.

And I think
if that large group of people

were to stick together
and vote out one of those,

everybody makes it
through the night.

What about Nick and Michele?

Why not split it between
those two because they were in

with Wendell. Yeah.

Okay, so make Michele
the backup vote?

-BEN: Yeah.
-Okay.

KIM:
I think Nick's just

not to be trusted,
from my perspective.

I don't have a relationship
with him. I think he's also

a-a challenge threat
moving forward.

So Nick would be

my preference tonight.

-Your name is out there again.
-Really?

-Mm-hmm.
-Who's putting it out there?

I think Sophie.

NICK: I'm gonna take this game
over. I'm tired of being

told what to do,
and I'm tired of my name

getting thrown out
as a easy vote.

NICK:
If there's gonna be

tons of chaos,
that's good for me.

I want more and more names
thrown around.

I want more and more people

to turn on each other.

You don't want to do Sophie?

I know. I know that.

ADAM:
What do you think?

-Yes.
-NICK: Sarah
gave me the reward,

but she's tighter
to a lot of people

than she is to me.

-MICHELE: Good luck.
-Yeah. Yeah.

NICK:
So I don't feel bad

if I can send Sarah home.

-Anything new?
-Um, yeah.

So, there's basically
one group saying...

saying the Nick or Michele.

Then a different group
that wants to go Sarah.

Oh, my God.

-Would you go Sarah?
-Wow.

-I'm just mind-blown.
-I know.

-Okay. I'm fine with it
if that's the plan.
-Okay.

-Okay.
-Right?

They came to me.

Adam was the only one
that could convince everybody

to go with the Sarah direction.

So I'm thinking Adam,
if he has that type of power

to be able to control people
like that and say--

put his foot down
and people listen,

we should plop it all on him.

We agree to Sarah,

but I think Adam's
more dangerous as a player.

So I think,

"Okay, I have to do something."

Huh? Are you?

-[laughing]:
What the hell is going on?
-That's what I think.

TYSON:
I've never loved

confusion
in the game of Survivor.

I've always wanted it
to be straightforward.

-Adam.
-Adam?

Adam. He was trying
to turn it all on Sarah.

-So... Yeah, so here's the deal.
-What?

-We're all voting Adam.
-We're all voting Adam.

TYSON:
But I'm learning that
if you create enough confusion,

people start forgetting
about you a little bit.

Adam tried to rally everybody
against you,

-and Kim told...
-Against me?

TYSON:
Shh. Yes.

So now we're voting Adam.
All of us are.

SARAH:
Literally, a b*mb went off

when my name came out
of someone's mouth,

and now I'm like, "Hold up."

This is not happening.

Adam, you threw my name out.

Mistake, brother.

You don't throw my name out,
okay?

And you're gonna learn
the hard way,

and you're gonna learn why
you don't throw my name out,

because your a*s
is gonna go home.

-Really?
-Yeah. So...

BEN:
It's hard to rope
a bunch of winners

into a single direction.

The group's decision
has changed today.

I think the group's decision
will change more times today.

I think the group's decision

will probably change
at Tribal tonight, too.

So...

I just hope the target
doesn't end up on me tonight.

Who said that me and Sarah
were too close?

-A lot of people have said that.
-Like who?

-Like, everybody.
-Like who?

-Like...
-Did you say it?

-I-I've been in part...
-You did say that?

No, I didn't say it,
but I've been...

-I've heard people say it.
-Who?

Ben, it doesn't matter.

-It does matter.
-Why does it matter?

-Because people are telling me
it was you. Cool.
-No.

-Ben. Ben, it doesn't matter.
-No, fine. All I needed to know.

-That's fine. It does matter.
-It doesn't matter.

It matters to me, okay?
So, that's all I need to know.

If you don't want to tell me it,
that's your prerogative.

I'm glad we had
this conversation.

Okay? But if you don't want

-to tell me, that's fine.
-You're gonna f...

-force me to tell you.
-No, I'm not forcing you
to do anything.

You... I just...
That's why I'm walking away.

'Cause I'm not gonna stay here
and, like, try to force you.

If you don't want to tell me,
that's fine.

-I'll tell. I'll tell.
-No.

-I'll tell you.
-I don't need to know.

ADAM:
Ben talks to me
like I'm a child

that needs to be scolded.

You know, he plays
a lot more like Boston Rob

than he would ever
want to admit.

This is madness.

This conversation
pisses me off more than

any other conversation
I've ever had on Survivor.

Then all hell breaks loose.

Have you heard
my name at all yet today?

-Yes.
-Really?

I've heard so many plans today.

-Do you know what I heard, Tony?
-TONY: What?

Is that you're the one
that said...

-threw my name under the bus.
-No!

-Who told you that?
-Michele.

What's going on?

Same plan. Sarah.

-Who are we voting for?
-Adam.

-Who are we doing?
-[laughs]

Huh?

Yeah.

-TYSON: Yeah.
-Sarah?

-Yeah. Sarah.
-Okay.

I feel like every time
we decide something,

I see everybody go off
and talk more.

Tyson told Sarah it was her?

Yeah.

I'm afraid he's going for me

because he keeps telling
everybody different ....

I wouldn't mind writing Tyson.

She just told me to write Tyson.

They're saying Nick.

-Huh?
-Tyson?

-Let's do Sarah.
-Sarah.

-I honestly don't know.
-Oh, my God.

My plan right now
is to vote Sarah unless

these guys are coming up with
a new plan at camp as we speak.

So, then that means that

I need to go for
what I think might be an idol.

I don't even know
if it's anything.

I could be completely wrong.

[groans]:
Oh, my God.

I am imagining

myself watching myself,
and I'm going like this.

[groans]
"He's playing with so much fire.

Please, don't let it burn him."

[laughs]:
This is a high stakes game,

and I'm playing it

on the edge.

I just don't want to be
on the other Edge.

♪

Now bring in the members
of our jury.

All right.

Sarah, this has been,
thus far, a very cagey game

of cat and mouse,
where nobody says anything

and then there's
another blindside.

What did you see
happening today?

Um, it's definitely
not cagey anymore.

It was chaotic.

Everybody's name
seems to appear.

People that you're working with,
they're throwing your name out.

I mean, it's kind of like
a solo game right now.

Tyson, I was gonna go
down the road thinking you guys

weren't gonna talk
about anything.

And Sarah says, "Oh, no, it was
the Wild, Wild West today."

TYSON:
Yeah. It was a game

of running in circles,
meeting back around,

meeting in camp,
pulling people aside.

-Really?
-For sure.

JEREMY:
Jeff, it was like

on one side of the highway,
you see a fire.

And then the wind picks it up,
whips it across the other side

of the highway
and explodes. Boom.

It was crazy. I played this game
three times, Jeff.

I've never seen it
like this today.

PROBST:
Denise, what was your take?

DENISE:
Jeff, oh, my God. It's like

so many names are getting
thrown out, and so you're saying

yes to this plan and yes to that
plan and yes to another plan.

And you can't
keep them straight.

And all I can tell you is
I aged a few years today.

PROBST:
Nick, day 23.

Why this Tribal
does it break open?

I think what's happened is there
are some "easy" votes here.

I guess it's me or Tyson
or Adam, and now today,

other names come up,
and then all of a sudden,

all hell breaks loose.

But I'm tired
of my name coming up.

I was blindsided last time.

I feel like
I'm not being treated

like a player in this game,
and I'm ready to join somebody.

Make a push.
If this is Winners at w*r,

this is the saddest w*r
I've ever seen.

Everybody's afraid
to say anything.

Everybody's afraid to
say a name,

and everybody's afraid
to go after anybody, so...

Let's fight. I'm ready.

PROBST:
So, Adam,

if you believe
that in this moment in the game,

you are an "easy" vote,
that means you have to be

in some sort of
constant state of

assessing and trying
to make sure

where the vote's going.
What do you do?

ADAM:
Sorry.

-Yeah.
-I'm just trying
to pay attention

-to everything that's...
-Do your thing, man.

...that's going on.

[whispering]

-No.
-Okay.

I'm good.

-Everything's good.
-I'm good.

Let's do it. I'm good.
I'm good. I'm good.

I'm good.

What's going on, man?

Whispers at Tribal
get attention, Ben.

BEN:
As they should.

It's kind of like what happened
at camp today.

Everyone whispered,
and someone heard a name,

and then it was like,
"Oh, heck no!"

There was feuds
that were brought up

and then extinguished
and then brought up

and then extinguished
and things that were addressed.

And it's still happening
right now as we speak, Jeff.

ADAM:
Look, all I know is,

when we left camp,
Ben would not talk to me

or look me in the eye,
and I'm concerned...

Did I ask you a question?

I'm concerned that maybe
you're voting for me.

I-I asked him a question,
and he chose not to answer it.

And that was on him.
And so I turned and walked away,

because a fair
and honest question

by an alliance member
should be answered.

-So I was concerned...
-Not if it means

having to throw somebody else
under the bus.

When you were
throwing me under the bus.

-I was not.
-Okay.

So, see, Jeff, this is how
this roundabout has gone.

ADAM:
I have had Ben's back

-in this game since the get-go.
-I have had your back

-in this game from the get-go.
-Have you? Have you?

-Yes. Have you gone home?
-Why did Wendell vote for me

at the last Tribal Council?

Why did Nick vote for me
at the last Tribal Council?

Is it maybe because you said

I was causing chaos
at the Yara camp?

That I'm not to be trusted?

You havebeen causing chaos
from day one.

ADAM:
And I still was not
coming after...

BEN: You created chaos
this whole time.

-I speculated
that Sarah might have an idol.
-We said that...

How many times
have you said sorry?

How many times have you
said sorry for...

-Because you're
so sensitive, Ben.
-Okay, Adam.

-[laughter]
-ADAM: Because...

Because you get angry at me.

I'm sorry that I speculated
that she had an idol.

I'm playing Survivor,Ben.

-BEN: Okay. Adam.
-ADAM: And I wanted

to go very, very far
in this game with you.

-I hear you.
-But if I feel like

you're the reason
that votes are coming my way...

BEN:
If you got to tell yourself
that I'm the reason for that,

-that's fine.
-I stillwasn't
coming after you.

-What'd you do at Sele?
-ADAM: What I did

-at Sele was I told Rob...
-Rob.

...what was gonna happen
because I was loyal to Rob.

Rob said he would never
write my name down.

-And you had an alliance
with Jeremy and I, too.
-I've explained this many times.

-Right?
-And have I written
your name down?

-And have I ever caused anybody
to write your name down?
-And have...

Have I written your name down?

-Okay.
-No, you have not,
but I'm worried

that it might happen tonight,
and so I'm doing

wh-what I think
I need to do maybe

-in order to make sure
that that doesn't happen.
-Okay.

Are you writing my name down
tonight?

No.

[sighs]

-Are you guys voting for me?
-Who are you writing down?

Who are youwriting down?
My vote doesn't matter.

-It's all yours that do.
-JEREMY: It does matter.

-It does matter.
-ADAM: Does it matter? Why?

-Yes, it matters.
-We already talked
about it, man.

ADAM:
Well, then-then
what's all the...

Then what's all...
Then what's the whispering?

TONY:
Should we not go up and vote?

Just say it out loud?
Adam, what do you want us to do?

That's the game.
We got to go up there,

we got to write the name down
and then come back down,

and then he reads the votes.

[chuckles]:
I-I know that's how it works.

But I'm concerned that-that
my name is coming up tonight.

PROBST:
So, Nick,

-that felt like w*r.
-NICK: Yeah, I mean,

now I trust my place better,
and I can see where I stand.

So, yeah,
I feel like this is better.

ADAM:
I mean, if...

if Nick feels better
and he was told to vote for me,

I don't feel better.

And I'm trying to figure out

is it me, is it him,
or is it somebody else?

Anybody?

Okay.

PROBST:
All right.

It is time to vote.

Nick, you're up.

♪

Most chaotic day ever.

I'll go tally the votes.

♪

If anybody has
a hidden immunity idol

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

♪

Damn.

Nothing, huh?

Not anything?

Looked like maybe
it was something.

Worth a shot.

-[laughs]
-What are you doing?

ADAM:
I don't know.

But maybe that was an idol.
I don't know.

You're convinced it's not?

Is it? Can I play it?

I want to play that.

-You want to play this?
-Yeah. Can I play that?

PROBST:
This thing that you can't get

-off of the voting podium?
-Yeah.

I... Yeah.
I want to play that.

PROBST:
So, if that is an idol,

it would be historic.

-Yeah.
-The first idol

ever hidden at Tribal Council
in plain view of all players,

selected by you
and played for you.

Exactly.

That is...

-...not a hidden immunity idol.
-Oh, God.

-Worth a shot.
-PROBST: That is just

part of the voting podium.

-[laughs]
-Any votes cast

for Adam will still count.

First vote:

Sarah.

Adam.

Nick. One vote Adam,
one vote Nick,

one vote Sarah.

Adam.

Nick. Two votes Adam,

two votes Nick, one vote Sarah.

Adam.

That's three votes Adam,
two votes Nick, one vote Sarah.

Adam. That's four votes Adam.

Five votes Adam.

11th person voted out of
Survivor: Winners at w*r:

Adam. That's six. That's enough.

Need to bring me your torch.

Really thought it might be
something. [chuckles]

It was worth a shot.

The w*r is happening tonight,

Who's gonna be dead
in the trenches?

Tonight, there will be blood.

I'm ready to go to the Edge

This is a crucial decision.

This is going to end badly.

There he is. Welcome to

-Aw, man.
-DANNI: Welcome to the Edge.
-PARVATI: Nice try

-on that immunity idol
at the end there.
-Yeah.

ADAM:
I made one too many mistakes.

Three strikes and you're out
in this game, and, uh,

the thought that there was
an idol at Tribal

allowed me to play

more aggressively
than I should have.

And it cost me.
