18x04 - The Strongest Man Alive

Post by bunniefuu »

PROBST: Previously on

Survivor:

This game is on.

Timbira had the early advantage

when they outmaneuvered Jalapao

in the game's opening moments.

We got all the water, we got

all the beans, everything we

needed.

PROBST: And Timbira

continued to dominate when they

won the first immunity

challenge.

Carolina, the tribe has spoken.

At Exile Island, Taj and

Brendan formed a secret

cross-tribal alliance...

[Taj laughs]

...with plans to include Taj's

Jalapao tribe mate Stephen and

Brendan's Timbira tribe mate

Sierra.

[thunder rumbles]

[cheering]

Jalapao won the next immunity

challenge, sending Timbira to

Tribal Council.

Candace, the tribe has spoken.

Jalapao wins immunity!

Jalapao then went on to gain a

clear advantage.

Timbira, another tribe member

going home.

Timbira tried to solve their

problems by choosing a leader.

I think it should be Brendan.

PROBST: Which angered Coach,

who thought he was in charge.

I love to be the leader.

That's what I'm used to doing.

PROBST: Erinn disagreed.

I think it's a role that

Coach is used to, but it's

something that Brendan does

better.

PROBST: Erinn.

Erinn's conflict with Coach

almost got her voted out.

Third person voted out of

Survivor: Tocantins: Jerry.

But Jerry was sent home for

being weakened by his illness...

The tribe has spoken.

...putting Timbira at six

members to Jalapao's seven.

Can Timbira put aside their

differences to make a comeback?



Who will be voted out tonight?

[Debbie sighs]

Uh, so at Tribal Council

tonight, Erinn and I got into an

argument about the leadership

on the tribe.

And she said Brendan is a

better leader.

But she doesn't know what she's

talking about.

It pissed me off, and it made me

think Erinn's got to go because

she is the cancer of the tribe.

She would have been voted out

tonight, almost unanimously,

had it not been for Jerry

coming down sick.

You guys, you want to do a

powwow?

I thought it was actually

great last night that, like,

Jeff brought it up.

I mean, we could have a

general leader.

If we all decide that Coach

wants to do it or Tyson wants

to do it, I'm totally on board.

So I think we just kind of

all, just as a group, kind

of decide what we think works

best, and then just make that

decision and be done with it.

Right.

We need it.

It's crazy.

It's crazy not to have it.

Last night at Tribal, we

established a leader, kind of.

So I guess Brendan or Coach is

the leader.

I don't know.

It's, uh... I wasn't paying

attention.

I don't really care.

I think that... as much as I

like leading, and, you know, if

you were voted off tomorrow,

yeah, I'd gladly step into that

role.

But I think that, at the

moment, everybody, including

myself, trusts you as being the

leader.

And as much as I would enjoy

that role, we just have that one

person.

Yeah.

It's more productive.

Yeah.

You know, if Brendan got

voted off and I was the leader,

I think this tribe would be

better.

But I don't want to vote

Brendan off because that's my

M.O.

I want iron that sharpens iron.

And I didn't mean to sound

last night like I was saying I

don't think that you would be a

good leader.

I think you would be a great

leader.

There's only one experienced

person out here as far as being

out in the outdoors, and that

would be me.

These people here are new kids

on the block.

What they've been doing is

not succeeding, not thriving,

but existing.

If you look at me, you look at

Brendan, who looks stronger?

I do.

We need to thrive in the wild

and not just exist.

And I think the difference is

is that I've been here, and they

haven't.

When Taj goes to Exile, I

think we're all concerned with

how she's holding up.

It's definitely worn her down

to be out there and to be out

in the elements with no food,

no water, nobody to trust.

So we're all concerned with

the toll this is going to take

on her in the long run.

I am.

Brendan and I have our

secret Exile alliance.

So now I need to talk to

Stephen because I know I can

trust him.

He's kind of like the nerdy,

shy guy who just wants to help

everybody, and I know that I can

depend on him in the long run.

How you feeling?

This hammock feels lovely.

Yeah?

Yeah.

You look quite relaxed in

there.

Thank you.

When you get a second, I want

to talk to you by yourself,

okay?

Yeah, absolutely.

[hooting]

All right, this is the deal.

This is going to change your

life, okay?

Do you want to be a part of the

biggest upset on Survivor

history?

Yes, I do.

Okay.

He's in an alliance with

Sierra, and I told him about

you.

So the next...

Taj apparently is aligned

with Brendan and Sierra in the

other tribe.

They made a pact on Exile

Island to stick with each

other, stay in the game as long

as we can, and look out for each

other once we get to the merge.

So I might have just stumbled

a*s-backwards into a huge

alliance.

So the next time we go to a

challenge, if we win, we choose

Sierra.

Okay.

Sierra's going to choose you.

You're selling me Exile

Island, isn't that tough?

It's not bad at all.

[laughter]

I'm telling you...

I will protect you.

I will make sure you're fine.

I just need you to roll with us.

We got tree mail.

It's a sandbag.

Oh, gosh!

"As time ticks away,

supplies start to dwindle.

Your spirits may begin to

corrode.

For a boost in morale and

improvements at camp, you must

know who can shoulder the load."

[Coach laughs]

That means someone's going

to Exile for two days.

I just want to win the

reward.

Yeah.

Who do you want us to pick

if we win?

You want us to go with Taj

again?

I think we go Taj.

And then she's going to get

to say you.

When Taj and I were on

Exile, we set up the Exile

alliance-- me with Sierra, and

Taj with Stephen.

But I didn't communicate that I

had the alliance yet because I

hadn't had a chance to talk to

Sierra yet.

So she doesn't know about the

plan, and it could be a pretty

heinous situation.

PROBST: Come on in, guys!

Jalapao getting your first look

at the new Timbira tribe.

Jerry voted out at the last

Tribal Council.

Guys ready to get to today's

challenge?

Yeah!

PROBST: For today's

challenge, three members of

each tribe will have a pole

across their shoulders.

Each round, weight will be

added to that pole.

The decision about which tribe

member gets the weight will be

made by two members of the

other tribe.

When the weight becomes too

much, you'll drop your pole,

you're out of the challenge.

Last person left standing wins

reward for their tribe.

Only rule in this challenge:

you must put two men and one

woman as your weight bearers--

those holding the pole.

Want to know what you're

playing for?

Yeah!

PROBST: Today, the reward is

a camp raid.

The winning tribe will send two

members over to the camp of the

losing tribe, where you will be

allowed to steal two items.

Oh, my God.

PROBST: In addition, the

winning tribe will choose one

member from the losing tribe to

go to Exile Island.

That person will in turn select

somebody from the winning tribe

to join them.

Worth playing for?

Yeah!

PROBST: Because today's

challenge only requires five

people, each tribe will sit

people out.

Timbira, you have one extra

member.

Who you going to sit out?

Sierra.

PROBST: Jalapao, you're

sitting out two people.

Steve and I are sitting out.

PROBST: Stephen, Spencer,

Sierra, take a spot on the

sit-out bench.

Everybody else, give you a

minute to strategize, and we'll

get started.

All right, the weight bearers

for Jalapao: Joe, Taj, J.T.

For Timbira: Debra, Brendan, and

Tyson.

Last person left standing wins

reward for their tribe.

Let's get started.

Jalapao, who you want to put

the weight on first?

Brendan.

Brendan.

PROBST: Timbira?

Joe.

PROBST: Put the weight on.

Each tribe will put the weight

on their own tribe member to

make sure it is placed evenly,

but the other tribe decides who

actually gets it.

Here we go.

Three, two, one.

Put the weight on.

Each bag weighs ten pounds.

So each round, you are adding



Next round.

Timbira, who you want on?

J.T.

PROBST: J.T. getting some

weight.

Tyson.

PROBST: Tyson.

Put it on.

Spreading the weight around.

Here we go.

Three, two, one.

Release.

Jalapao, who you want to put it

on?

Brendan.

PROBST: Brendan getting more

weight.

Taj.

PROBST: Taj getting some

weight. Put it on.

Brendan getting two more bags.

That'll put him up to 40 pounds.

Taj getting into on the action

with her first 20 pounds.

This is about endurance and

strategy.

How long can you stand the

weight?

Who do you give it to?

♪ ♪

Brendan now at 180 pounds.

J.T. at 160, Tyson at 120.

Joe at 140.

Taj and Debra both holding

strong at 80 pounds.

Next round.

Brendan.

PROBST: Brendan getting more

weight.

J.T.

PROBST: Puts J.T. at 180.

This will put Brendan up to 200.

Come on, man, come on.

PROBST: The record in this

challenge: 220 pounds.

Survivor: Pearl Islands:

a man with a beard, Rupert.

Brendan is two bags away from

that.

Next round.

J.T.

Brendan.

PROBST: Do it.

J.T. and Brendan both getting

more weight.

Brendan's wobbling.

PROBST: This'll put Brendan

up to 220.

He's wobbling.

Whoo!

PROBST: Brendan drops out

just as the weight goes on.

Brendan out of the challenge.

Whoa!

You got this.

You got it, buddy. You got it.

Yes, J.T.

Come on, J.T.

PROBST: J.T. now at 200

pounds for Jalapao.

Timbira now down to Tyson and

Debra to win it for them.

Jalapao holding strong with all

three tribe members still in it.

Attaboy, Jet.

You got this.

PROBST: Next round.

J.T.

Tyson.

PROBST: This will put Tyson

at 140 pounds.

J.T. at 220 pounds.

Damn, J.T., this is it.

Hold it, buddy, hold it.

This is a record, man.

PROBST: Three, two, one,

drop.

Attaboy.

Attaboy, Jet.

Yeah! Whoo!

Yeah, J.T.!

Strongest man alive!

PROBST: Tyson drops out at



As long as you can, Jet.

PROBST: Jalapao's strategy is

working.

They've eliminated both men.

Debra, the last remaining member

of Timbira in this challenge.

Yeah, J.T.

PROBST: J.T. drops out after

holding 220 pounds, tying

Rupert's record from the Pearl

Islands.

Joe at 140.

Taj at 80.

Joe drops out right behind J.T.!

Taj, hang in there, baby.

Yeah!

PROBST: Suddenly, this

challenge has come down to the

women.

All right, little mommy.

PROBST: Wow, just like that,

this challenge has flipped on

its head.

Jalapao had a huge lead and is

now down to Taj for Jalapao...

It's all you, girl.

PROBST: ...Debra for Timbira.

Both women at 80 pounds.

Let's put on some more weight.

No choices to be made.

You know who's getting it.

That's just what we wanted

to happen.

You and her.

PROBST: This will put both

women at a hundred pounds.

Here we go.

Three, two, one.

Drop.

Deborah at a hundred pounds.

Taj at a hundred pounds.

Taj, you are solid, baby.

We need you, T.

PROBST: Last person left

standing wins reward, which is

a camp raid.

Let's put on some more weight.

Both women at a hundred pounds.

Going to move it up to 120.

Come on, Tajie.

Stay firm, T.

It's sliding. It's sliding.

Yeah!

[cheering]

PROBST: Debra drops out.

Jalapao wins reward!

[cheering]

That's all right, Debra.

You did a hell of a job, girl.

You did a hell of a job.

You did a hell of a job.

Thank you.

Hey, that's all hard, baby.

Good job.

PROBST: Jalapao with your

fourth straight win in a row.

Yeah.

PROBST: Nice job.

Decision: who from Timbira

are you going to send to Exile

Island?

Let's send Sierra.

Let's see how she likes it.

Good 'cause I'm taking you.

Oh, you witch!

PROBST: Sierra's picking Taj.

All right.

That's all right.

I'm used to it now.

Today, I didn't have a chance

to speak with Sierra before the

challenge, so I'm glad she just

picked Taj, which was good.

I hope Taj will be able to

explain enough about the

situation to hopefully work

things out.

We love you, Taj.

PROBST: Both Sierra and Taj

will be back in time for the

next immunity challenge.

Timbira, nothing for you.

Head back to camp.

Two members from Jalapao will

be showing up to do a little

shopping.

Good job, you guys.

Good job.

Good job.

You did awesome.

Nice.

Nice.

Good job.

PROBST: Jalapao on your way

back, choose two members to

raid Timbira.

Grab your stuff.

Head out.

Good job, baby.

My biggest concern when we

lost the challenge today is

they're going to clean out our

food supply, and then we're

going to go downhill.

We're going to be nothing as

a tribe in another three, four

days with these people only

eating rice.

You guys did a great job

today.

Yeah, you guys did so good.

Yeah, totally.

Do you think they're going

to take both bean bags or just

one and one rice?

But if they can take two

things, we really don't have

anything here of value besides

the beans.

Yes, we do.

We have the water cans.

We get back to camp and we know

that there's two people on

their way over from Jalapao

to raid our camp, take whatever

they want.

And we know they're after the

beans.

So all we're thinking is what

else could we convince them

that they should take?

[applause]

Welcome to our abode.

Y'all got a pretty place

here.

Nice.

Hey!

Tyson, good job.

You, too, man.

Good game, man.

It felt a little weird

having those two guys from the

other tribe come in.

Could we get you a c*ck?

Yeah, if you don't mind.

You want to be on good terms

with them 'cause you're probably

going to be living with them in

the future, but in the back of

your mind, you're like, "I want

to punch these guys in the

head."

Well, maybe we could, uh, use

a little way around the store,

tell us which aisle it's on

or something.

All right.

Oh, no, you go find it.

We know y'all got some extra

food.

We've been living on rice.

I'd be careful what you take.

Just remember, you may end up

over here sometime.

Oh, I know.

We're not going to leave you

without food.

You know we have watering

cans over here.

We hear you're boiling water.

We might as well just take

a sack of beans and something

else.

That's what I'm thinking.

Take that sack; leave this.

Thanks.

We're not going to take the

rest of their beans, so we might

as well just take this.

I think it's a very smart idea

not to take both sacks of beans

because you have to look forward

in this game.

There could be a switch at any

time.

And if I was to end up over

there on the Timbira Tribe with

no beans 'cause I just stole

both sacks, I'd be pissed.

Okay.

All right, y'all.

Bye, Santa Claus.

We'll see you guys.

See you guys.

Thanks a lot.

Thank you.

Whoa! Hello!

Oh, my God! Oh, my God!

Welcome back.

It's good to be back, y'all.

Who wants some beans?

Oh, my God!

What do you got?

All right, so the real deal,

though, is they had two bags of

beans.

Yeah.

One smaller bag...

One, this is the bigger one.

You left their bag of beans?

We left a bag of beans.

We left their smaller bag.

But why do you want to leave

them food?

In case we switch or

anything.

Yeah.

They're probably thankful to

you all that you just took a bag

of beans.

Oh, yeah.

We didn't take nothing from

them.

They still got beans, and they

still got water containers.

But, you know, there was nothing

else to take.

You know, if they're thinking

strategy, I don't think it's the

right strategy.

You know, it's just, it's like

you've got a hundred g*ns, let's

take 75 of them.

You can have 25, oh, and maybe

be able to take a shot at us.

Oh, my God.

This is the happiest day of

my life.

Yeah.

Let's just pig out.

What are they, pinto beans?

Mixture.

Yeah.

Oh, beans, just beans?

Black beans? White beans?

And pinto, I think.

They are farting beans.

[Sandy laughing]

They are farting beans, honey.

Sandy's kind of starting to

get on my nerves, as crazy as

she is.

She repeats everything at least

three times.

And it's starting to, I think,

wear on everybody, and not just

me.

I did! You are always...

I'm going to smack you.

No, isn't that true?

It's always, I'm the one that's

like, "Oh, no," this, that and

the other, and there you go.

But, anyway, y'all just do

whatever you want.

Oh, wow.

Look at this.

Thank the Lord for the beans.

If I were choosing who was

leaving this tribe next...

it would be Sydney.

Sydney is using everything she

has from head to toe to enchant

every one of the boys.

She runs around in their boxers

and then, you know, doesn't

sleep in her bra at night.

And she is, like, up against

the boys 24/7.

Trust me, she's playing this

game hard and, uh, it's working.

Oh, they love her to death.

I still think they can see

through it, but they still like

the package, you know?

They're going to put your name

down there, you better do

something.

You better be pulling off more

than a bra.

You better be pulling some

panties off or something.

[laughing]

Oh, you know, so I might have to

trick her that way.

[laughs]

If I can't outwit her with the

body, I'll outwit her with the

brain.

All right, choose an urn.

See if it has anything in it.

Usually, one of them does;

one of them doesn't.

Nothing's in there?

Yup, I got the clue.

Open in private.

All right, I'll be right back.

"Every day or two, you get mail

from this place.

If you find it round here,

you'll ask, 'Why the long

face?'"

Tree mail, I knew it.

I knew it was the tree mail.

Once Sierra and I arrived at

Exile, we chose urns, and I got

lucky and chose the one with

the clue in it.

It's exactly where I thought it

would be.

It's back at my home camp at

tree mail.

When Brendan got back, he didn't

didn't talk to you about himself

at all?

No.

Not one second?

Hmm... okay.

I was kind of talking to Sierra

down the road, trying to see

where her head was at, and,

apparently, Brendan had never

had a chance to fill her in on

the plan.

So I'll have to fill her in on

everything.

Okay, well, here's the deal.

No one knows that you and

Brendan are cool on your side,

and no one knows that Steve and

I are cool on my side.

Once we get the two idols, we

basically have security through

the merge.

And once we get to the merge,

we'll have a secret four-way

alliance that no one knows about

and can't break up.

This way, we can watch each

others' backs when somebody's

trying to blindside one of us.

We can warn them.

We can take other people out

without them even knowing it.

This is awesome.

This is an absolutely amazing

plan.

It just feels great that I built

an alliance with Brendan,

that I chose the right person

who was smart enough to form an

alliance to create this awesome

foursome, ruling all the idols.

I started at the bottom of the

food chain.

I climbed my way to the middle,

and now I'm at the top, baby.

Our concern is getting to

the final four, which will be

you, me, Steve, and Brendan.

Are you game?

I'm game, game.

Rock on.

I'm game.

All right.

Team Secret is in place.

It's amazing.

Is there anything that we

should do today?

Hmm... rest?

Eat, drink, and be merry.

That sounds great.

Yeah.

I'd love to do that.

I've been laying in the

water.

Today is just a relaxation,

fun day.

We're just kind of enjoying not

having a lot of work to do.

We needed to play, laugh, and

have a little bit of fun

because if you start getting

down out here, all the different

doors start opening: I miss my

family; I miss my husband;

I miss my children.

You know, and so we've got to

keep each other up.

I'm going tribal all over

everybody's asses.

Dude, this is insane, man.

Oh, my God!

This is insane!

Look at how ripe a tan I'm

going to get on my a*s cheeks

now.

I made this myself.

You are the man.

This is hilarious.

Imagine if I single-handedly

bring the loincloth back to

civilized society.

[laughing]

I can't breathe!

I can't breathe.

I said a-bunga, unga-bunga,

unga-bunga, unga-bunga.

[laughing]

Oh, my God!

I don't know what it is, but

I'm having a tough time finding

a connection with these people.

Before I came out here, I went

through a really terrible

breakup.

I can't even carry on normal

conversations with people

anymore.

It makes it hard to talk about

everything because it's going

to come up, and I don't...

[voice breaking]: This is what

happens when it comes up.

And I don't want to do this out

here.

For the most part, I've

written Erinn off.

I mean, I haven't really talked

to her one-on-one about

anything.

And she doesn't hang out with

the tribe a lot.

Plus, I think she'll be really,

really upset when she gets

voted off, and I'd like to see

a freak-out at Tribal.

I think that'll be fun.

PROBST: Come on in, guys!

We'll now bring in Taj and

Sierra, returning from Exile

Island.

Come on in, girl.

We missed you, sweetie.

Missed you.

Thank you.

PROBST: You guys ready to get

to today's challenge?

Yeah!

PROBST: All right, first

things first.

Give it up, Sydney.

All right, all right.

PROBST: Let's get to today's

challenge.

One tribe member at a time will

race out, retrieve a puzzle

piece... race back.

Then, the next person goes.

Once you've collected all eight

pieces, you must place them in

their correct spot in the frame

and rotate them to reveal the

winning phrase.

First tribe to get it right

wins immunity, is safe at least

one more day in this game.

Losers go to Tribal Council.

Another person will be voted

out.

Jalapao, you have one extra

member for this challenge.

Who's sitting out this one?

I can't run.

You can't run.

Let her sit out.

Taj is sitting out.

PROBST: Taj will take a spot

on the bench.

Everybody else, we'll get

started.

Here we go.

For immunity, survivors ready?

Go!

You must untie.

Then, the piece will drop; then

you unclip it and race back.

Yeah, Joe!

Come on!

Whoo!

Good, Joe! Nice!

Joe-Joe!

PROBST: J.T. on the course

for Jalapao.

Erinn now on the course for

Timbira.

Come on, J.T.!

PROBST: J.T. whips through

those knots.

He's heading back now with

Jalapao's second puzzle piece.

Erinn has hers down quickly.

Spencer on the course.

Take your time, Erinn!

PROBST: Brendan now out on

the course for Timbira.

Spencer has the third piece.

Yeah, Spencer!

PROBST: Brendan heading back

for Timbira.

Come on, Brendan!

Let's go, Spence!

Yeah, Spence.

PROBST: Stephen now out on

the course for Jalapao.

Good job, Brendan!

Good job, Brendan.

PROBST: Tyson out on the

course.

Let's go, Steve-o!

Yeah, Stephen!

PROBST: Stephen has the

fourth piece for Jalapao.

He's heading back, rope and all.

Tyson makes very fast work of

his knots.

Sandy now out on the course for

Jalapao.

Sierra now out on the course.

Both tribes are halfway there.

Four pieces left.

Go, Sandy!

Go, Sandy! Whoo!

Go, Sandy!

PROBST: Jalapao still with

a slight advantage over Timbira.

Go, Sandy!

PROBST: Sydney out on the

course for Jalapao.

Debra out on the course for

Timbira.

Three pieces left.

All right, Syd, k*ll this!

Good job, Debbie!

PROBST: Sydney really

struggling with her knots.

She's making me nauseous.

Sydney, come on.

PROBST: Timbira now in the

lead.

Brendan back out on the course

for Timbira.

Sydney sprinting back.

Joe back out on the course

again.

Come on, Joe-Joe!

Come on, Joe-Joe!

PROBST: Brendan through his

knots quickly.

All right, Joe!

PROBST: Joe unclips.

Go get them.

PROBST: Tyson heading out

for the final piece for Timbira.

Yeah, Joe. Good job.

PROBST: J.T. on the course

for final piece for Jalapao.

Tyson has the last puzzle piece

for Timbira.

Good job, Tyson!

PROBST: J.T. made up a lot of

time.

J.T. has the last piece for

Jalapao.

J.T.! Whoo!

PROBST: Timbira, start

working on your puzzle.

Jalapao, start working on your

puzzle.

Look out. Look out.

PROBST: There are two

elements to this puzzle.

You have to make sure each

piece is in the correct spot.

Then, you have to rotate it to

the correct side...

to find the winning phrase.

Second chance you guys have had

to work together on a word

puzzle.

Oh, okay, guys.

PROBST: Timbira froze the

last time we did this.

No, I think "win" or

"immunity" is wrong.

It's to confuse us.

It doesn't make any sense to

have a freakin' phrase that ends

with "win" or "immunity."

Right, you're right.

You're right.

PROBST: There are lots of

phrases that are almost right.

...your tribe wins.

Your tribe wins...

PROBST: Only one that is

absolutely right.

Do we see "Timbira" anywhere?

"Escaped."

"Jalapao."

"Tribal."

"Council."

"Immunity."

Yes.

That's it!

No, it's not.

"Escape the vote."

Let's get it. Go back.

"Escape the vote."

This one, this one, this one.

Grab it.

This one right here.

Oh, my God!

Switch this one!

[cheering]

We need somebody.

PROBST: Timbira thinks they

have it.

"Escape the vote.

Timbira wins immunity."

Timbira does win immunity.

[cheering]

Yeah!

PROBST: Timbira,

congratulations.

Yes!

Yes!

PROBST: No Tribal Council

tonight.

Nobody else from your tribe

going home.

Grab your stuff.

Head back to camp.

Enjoy the night off.

Thank you.

PROBST: Tough Tribal tonight,

J.T.?

Very tough, Jeff.

We've become one group here,

one tribe.

Nobody wants to go home.

Nobody wants to vote anybody

else home, so it's going to be

real tough.

PROBST: Unfortunately,

somebody is going home.

And after tonight's vote, both

tribes will be even again.

I will see you at Tribal.

The challenge was something

that we took as our big

opportunity to gain numbers in

this game, and hold them for a

long time.

But right now, we're going to

go back to six on six.

So it was just, overall, very

frustrating.

We see all these words, but

it's just like there is no rhyme

or reason.

God, it was just so random.

I think it's the curse of

the beans.

I was not surprised that we

lost because we went on a

four-challenge winning streak,

so I definitely thought that it

was coming.

I just need to cool off.

I'm so dehydrated.

Sierra and I found the last

clue for the idol.

I know exactly where it is.

I'll talk to Stephen as soon as

I get a second, but right now,

we need to focus on Tribal

Council.

I mean, honestly, I'm kind

of glad, though.

Not someone, but...

Someone... her names rhymes

with "Andy."

[Sydney laughs]

Oh, Lord.

So what are we going to do

tonight, y'all?

What do y'all think?

Oh, God...

I don't know.

I know I don't want to go home.

I don't want to go home.

I'd also like not to go home.

Honestly, I'm going to put

this out there.

I think Sandy was stronger than

Sydney in the last two

competitions, honestly.

The problem if we eliminate

Sydney, Spencer and Joe both

are going to be...

They're going to turn on us.

Has she been really, like,

the catalyst in the challenges?

You know, she's strong.

She's not that strong in

challenges, you're right.

I mean, she's, you know, a nice

presence around camp.

She works hard.

She works hard around camp.

Yeah, yeah, we do.

I've got mixed emotions.

I don't feel bad and I don't

feel good, you know?

Taj is leaning towards Sydney,

and she said I'm doing better

in the challenges, actually,

than Sydney, but we'll see.

I think maybe J.T. and them are

telling me the truth and I'm

going to be here tomorrow.

It's up to y'all.

Just let me and know I'll do

whatever y'all want me to do.

I will.

The important thing is now is

figuring out am I going to send

Sandy home or am I going to

send Sydney home?

I have a big dilemma right now.

I'm not sure what I want to do.

I was excited to meet other

people who I would never get a

chance to meet.

And also just to see how I

would like, fare.

I like the sneakiness of it,

too, 'cause I'm not very sneaky

back home, you know?

So you get to be sneaky in a

new environment.

Oh, really?

So you're being sneaky?

That's interesting.

Yeah, I'm glad you told me

that.

That's good information.

All of y'all are sneaky, too,

so don't even start with me.

Sydney's good looks make a

positive first impression, but

that could be, you know, part

of her devious personality.

If there's a merge coming up,

we need strong members, but we

also need loyal members, so

getting rid of Sydney could

make a lot of sense.

As far I know, the vote's

going to be going on to Sandy K.

tonight.

I feel like I've tried to get

on the good sides of people,

so, hopefully, it's not me.

But then again, it's Survivor.

So, you know, everyone wants to

win.

So we'll see.

PROBST: Sandy, going back to

day one, you were out of this

game.

Here we are on day 12, you're

still sitting pretty.

Have you recovered from that

first impression?

I believe I did recover.

I fit in with this g*ng quite

well, given the fact that, uh,

you know, I'm the older woman.

So, yeah, it makes me feel good.

Believe me.

PROBST: J.T., how did Sandy

recover from such an awful

start?

Well, Sandy's kind of the

mother of the crowd.

She takes care of us and frees

us up to do the hard work.

PROBST: Sandy, do you spend

any time at all reflecting on

your age when you're spending

so much time with people that

are considerably younger and

relatively speaking,

a good-looking group of people?

Yes, the old age factor

plays a part in that, but, you

know, I bring them a lot of

laughs and so forth.

But I think people might use

their, maybe, a little bit of

their beauty or their body, you

know?

I've seen a little bit of

flirting going on as far as

Sydney is concerned, you know?

Maybe wearing the boxer shorts

of J.T., you know.

PROBST: J.T., is she wearing

your boxers?

Yeah, Jeff, she's wearing my

boxers.

It's hot out there.

I don't have shorts.

I'm wearing jeans.

PROBST: Nobody asked you to

defend.

I know, that's all I'm

saying though.

PROBST: Joe, do you see that

going on?

Yeah.

Yeah, I see flirting going on.

PROBST: Stephen, fair part

of the game?

If you're a young, beautiful

woman, why not try to use it

to influence the guys?

First of all, I should say

that the big flirting

relationship has not been

mentioned yet, which is between

Sydney and Joe.

They flirt maybe a little more

than J.T. and Sydney flirt.

PROBST: Sydney, you were

nodding your head and smiling.

Yeah, I mean, I have a

flirtatious personality.

I flirt with women.

I definitely flirt with Joe.

He's a great guy.

I get along with him really

well.

It's just inevitable for me,

I think.

PROBST: Taj, how's that sit

with you?

First of all, let's just say

Sydney is gorgeous.

So men are definitely going to

be attracted to her,

regardless.

They can't help themselves.

So if there's an alliance, it

would be with her and not me

because she probably what they

want to align with anyway.

And that's okay because I'll

make my way through the game

regardless.

PROBST: Hold on.

"That's okay"?

It's okay with me, oh, yeah.

PROBST: I don't buy that for

a second.

I have to accept the fact

that they are attracted to her.

They're not attracted to me.

That's okay with me.

I'll be all right with or

without their attraction.

PROBST: Sydney, does this

happen to you a lot?

Conversations end up revolving

around your looks?

Yeah, it happens a lot.

My profession is a model, you

know?

So people stereotype me as the

blonde girl who doesn't have a

lot to stay and sits there and

be pretty.

But, that doesn't mean, like...

I don't know.

It's hard to explain.

PROBST: Stephen, could that

work against Sydney?

Definitely.

I mean, someone could think,

"Oh, she's just a flirt; she's

nothing," and just undervalue

her throughout the game.

PROBST: Sandy, how will this

tribe be different tomorrow?

I think there might be a

person or two upset, depending

on the outcome.

I imagine there'll be a couple

of real upsets.

So tomorrow will tell the story.

PROBST: Okay, it is time to

vote.

Joe, you're up.

It's just your time to go.

PROBST: I'll go tally the

votes.

If anybody has the hidden

immunity idol and you want to

play it, now would be the time

to do so.

Okay, once the votes are read,

the decision is final.

The person voted out will be

asked to leave Tribal Council

area immediately.

I'll read the votes.

First vote: Sandy.

Sydney.

One vote Sandy; one vote Sydney.

Joe.

One vote Sandy;

one vote Sydney;

one vote Joe.

Sandy.

That's two votes Sandy;

one vote Sydney; one vote Joe.

Sandy.

Oh, boy.

PROBST: That's three votes

Sandy; one vote Sydney;

one vote Joe.

Fourth person voted out of

Survivor: Tocantins: Sandy.

That's four.

That's enough.

You need to bring me your torch.

Sandy, the tribe has spoken.

Time for you to go.

Well, after tonight's vote,

both tribes are even: six-six.

Brand-new game.

Grab your torches.

Head back to camp.

Good night.

PROBST: Stay tuned for scenes

from our next episode.

PROBST: Next time on

Survivor:

Once we make it to the

merge, it's smooth sailing.

PROBST: The secret

cross-Tribal alliance

might not be so secret.

And I'm sick of this game.

PROBST: And Taj acts out.

Everybody can kiss my a*s.

Moves like that will get you

voted off.

I'm hot today.

I was slung out, you know,

right off the bat, the first

day without anybody knowing me

or anything.

And then I kind of got in with

them.

I was like the mother, uh,

mother hen over all these little

ducks.

And I stayed around a lot

longer than I thought I was

going to.

And, uh, I didn't quit.

So I'm real proud of myself.
