[thunder crashes]

JEFF PROBST: previously on

Survivor: after 15 days, the

biggest threat to both tribes

was the weather.

The Foa Foa tribe was hit

the hardest.

I have never in my life been

this cold, had my hands this

destroyed, and my feet look

so miserable.

PROBST: And while the

constant rain and cold sucked

the life out of most of them,

Russell thrived.

They're just a bunch

of babies.

This is really no big deal.

As a matter of fact, this makes

me stronger.

PROBST: At Galu, a brief

break in the rain along with

their huge 9-to-5 numbers

advantage made things a lot

more bearable.

But at the immunity challenge,

both tribes got some

shocking news:

Both tribes going to

Tribal Council.

Both tribes will vote somebody

out tonight.

[thunder crashes]

Then the brutal conditions

caught up to Russell, the

captain of Galu, who passed out

due to a combination of

dehydration and exhaustion.

There's no question to all of

us watching, brother, that, that

you are not okay.

For his own safety, Russell was

taken out of the game, leaving

his tribe without a leader.

Prior to Tribal Council, the

majority of the Foa Foa tribe

decided to send Liz home.

I'm putting Liz,

you putting Liz.

I know I can talk Mick into

putting Liz no matter what.

PROBST: While the majority

of Galu decided to send

Monica home.

Monica doesn't help us win

challenges at all.

PROBST: At Tribal Council,

everyone's plans were put on

hold when out of respect for

Russell's traumatic medical

evacuation, the vote

was canceled.

Nobody will be voted out

tonight.

The loss of Russell re-ignited

the rivalry between the

two tribes.

Every bead of sweat that he

put into everything he ever

did, we're bringing that to you.

We welcome it.

PROBST: But it also provided

Foa Foa with a growing glimmer

of hope.

I really believe that the

tables are about to turn.

PROBST: 13 are left.

Who will be voted out tonight?

Losing Russell affects

the game tremendously.

You know, losing our chief.

Losing probably the guy who I

had the most confidence in

personally in this game.

He played the game like he

was 35, and he's not.

Yeah.

With Russell here, we had a



but now with Russell gone, it's

just 4-4, and it's anybody's

ball game.

Exactly.

Exactly.

Even though she's a chick,

Shambo doesn't fit in with the

other girls.

So we have to pull Shambo back

over to our side and make sure

that Shambo is like one of

the dudes.

The only way that plan

unravels is if the girls lock

in Shambo.

Bros before hoes, period.

Dude.

[theme song playing]

♪ ♪

Here we go again. Day 16.

Wake up, McDreamy.

Let's do it.

Tribal was real nice.

When Jeff said we wasn't going

to eliminate anybody, and I

knew Galu just lost big

Russell, man, I was stoked.

I was, like, "Oh, we have a shot

at this."

You know, it's 5 to 8 now, it's

pretty damn close.

Liz wasn't voted out, but it

keeps the tribe stronger by

keeping her.

So I'd rather just win three in

a row and then get rid of her.

It could be a new day.

The tides have turned.

That's right.

It is a new day. That's right.

Start with this one.

I'm so excited!

So am I.

[yawns]

So I was thinking

about it, thinking about it,

thinking about it, and the way

we're going to lock Shambo in

is not only to, you know, to

tell her, "Hey, we're cool with

you," but us four guys are

gonna nominate Shambo our new

new chief.

And she's gonna feel so

so important and so flattered

that she'll be as deep in my

pocket as the lint at the

very bottom.

You know, this tribe does need

a new leader.

And I think you're the best

for the job.

Okay.

We've got to put it to a vote,

though.

Yeah.

Yeah, we need to do that.

Okay. Okay.

Ready? One...

...two...

...three...

...four...

...five...

...six...

...seven...

...eight.

Okay.

So, at the count of three,

you just put up the number.

Okay.

One...

...two...

...three.

Okay, so wait.

How many threes?

Four threes.

Four, four.

So that's...

Four votes for Sham.

Four votes for Sham.

Sham's the leader.

Congratulations.

[man laughs]

I thought the way to elect

the new leader was stupid.

It went by so quickly that no

one even really realized

what happened.

Um, I don't know how Shambo got

elected leader.

And they're supposed to be

sending Shambo home last night.

I'm wondering if there was a

vote last night, would I have

been one of the people

voted for?

Okay, I would like my first

act of... to be one of

motivation and kindness.

I, obviously, did not ask

for this.

I will do the best I can by

you guys.

My leadership style is night

and day from Russ, and I will

honestly, honestly, honestly

do my due diligence to not be

bossy 'cause you can't really

be a sergeant in the United

States Marine Corps and not

have an expectation when you

say something, things

will happen.

I think us four guys plus

using Shambo as a wedge is a

good plan.

I mean, the only strategic

drawbacks I could think of is

that Shambo is just so dim that

she could screw up our plans if

we tell her anything.

PROBST: Come on in, guys!

How's everybody doing?

The sun is out.

Very thankful.

Happy, happy, happy.

PROBST: Shambo, you're

wearing the leadership necklace.

You're the leader of Galu?

Yes, sir.

PROBST: Surprised?

Not so much.

I've had a lifetime of

leadership skills through

just the way I was raised;

second-generation Marine, so

I just gotta keep things in

perspective and be calm.

PROBST: All right, we're

going to put your leadership

skills to test today.

You guys ready to get to

today's challenge?

Yep.

Definitely.

PROBST: Today's challenge

will test your memory and will

force to you make decisions

between wants and needs.

Here's how it works:

scattered out in the field

there are 13 pairs of matching

survival items.

One tribe member at a time will

walk out and uncover two items.

If they match, you score a

point for your tribe.

If at any point along the way,

the leader of your tribe

decides they would like to keep

the items you just matched, you

can do so, but you forfeit the

point in the challenge.

To make things more difficult,

four of the items are dummy

items that do not have a match.

The tribe who has the most

points at the end of challenge

wins reward.

Want to know what you're

playing for?

Yes, sir.

Yeah.

PROBST: Winning tribe

will leave from here and board

a beautiful sailboat.

Oh, my gosh. Oh, my gosh.

PROBST: You'll enjoy an

afternoon out on the water and

a nice lunch.

Oh!

PROBST: In addition, the

winning tribe will send one

person from their tribe to the

losing tribe to do a little

spying until the next

immunity challenge.

You guys ready to get to it?

Yes.

Yes, sir.

PROBST: Galu you're sitting

out three people this challenge.

This is a new cycle.

You can sit out whoever you

you want.

Kelly, Dave, and myself will

sit out.

PROBST: Kelly, Dave, and

Shambo.

You guys take a spot on

the bench.

Everybody else, give you a

minute to strategize.

We'll get started.

All right, Shambo, since you

are the new leader and you are

not participating, who do you

want to assign to make

decisions for Galu

in this challenge?

Erik.

No, no, Brett, Brett, Brett.

I stand corrected; Brett.

PROBST: Brett will be the

fill-in leader for this

challenge.

All right, head out.

Russell goes out first for Foa

Foa, who won the rock,

paper, scissor.

That is a fire-starting kit.

That is representative of what

the real kit looks like.

It is much larger.

And rope, no match.

Cover 'em back up.

Galu. John heads out for his

first shot at this challenge.

John finds the cleaver.

Right next door, mosquito net.

No match for Galu.

Should get interesting now.

Jaison heading out for Foa Foa.

A lantern and oil.

That has not been revealed

anywhere else so it's a wild

guess, shot in the dark.

Fire starting kit.

No match.

That's a big break.

Big break.

I got it.

PROBST: Galu.

Go get it, Laura.

PROBST: Laura going out now.

Looking for that first match.

Laura finds one fire starting

kit.

Jaison just uncovered one.

Can Laura remember where it was?

And she does.

Laura scores the first match

for Galu.

As I said, that is merely

representative.

This is the kit.

Everything you need to get fire

started all wrapped in a tarp.

We'll keep it.

Thank God.

PROBST: Brett's going to

keep this one.

Good job, Galu.

Good job, team.

That tarp's gonna keep us

dry, right? Right?

PROBST: Galu scores the

first match but forfeits the

point in exchange for keeping

the item.

We're still at 0-0.

Foa Foa, head out.

Liz with her first time out on

the course would love to get

lucky.

Liz finds the cleaver.

Oh, gosh, Liz, come on.

PROBST: Can Liz remember

where the other cleaver was?

She guesses wrong, she could

reveal an item that helps Galu.

Liz reveals a mosquito net.

Not a match.

Opening the door for Galu.

Brett out on the course.

Wasted no time.

Brett finds the mosquito

netting.

Now he's got to pair it up.

And he does.

Good job.

PROBST: Galu with a match.

Brett, you're keeping that item

or are you keeping the point?

Point.

PROBST: Galu with their

first point.

Galu now leads one-zip.

Shh!

Liz, I gotta talk if I'm

gonna figure out where this

stuff is.

But we need to whisper.

PROBST: Foa Foa, you're up.

Do you know where the other

cleaver was?

it was right over here.

PROBST: Natalie, first time

out on the course.

Foa Foa needs a match.

I'm trying to decide.

PROBST: You're on your own

when you're out here.

You cannot get help from your

tribe.

Natalie reveals a hammock.

Natalie finds a pot.

Does not match.

This challenge not as easy as

it seems.

Lot of items out here.

It gets hard to remember.

John matches for Galu.

Galu leads 2-zip.

Russell pairs up for Foa Foa.

Laura reveals rope and matching

rope.

It is now 3-1.

Jaison reveals hammer and nails.

No match for Foa Foa.

[humming tune]

PROBST: Erik has a c*ck

swagger.

Not a match.

Nick reveals the blanket...

Another match for Foa Foa.

No match for Galu...

Erik chooses wrong...

Brett out on the course.

And Brett matches it up.

Yes!

Yes!

PROBST: For Galu.

Good job, B. Good job, B.

PROBST: Mask, snorkel and a

spear goes along with that.

Brett is that an item you're

considering keeping?

Point.

PROBST: Everybody choosing

points over items.

That reward looking good.

Galu now leads six-three.

There are only three items left

out here.

The rest are dummy items that

do not have a match.

Do the math, Foa Foa.

All Galu needs to do is match

one more pair, and they win this

challenge.

Foa Foa, head out.

Natalie out on the course.

Natalie finds the pot.

She'd like to match that up,

score a point for her tribe.

Let's see.

Let's see.

Oh, my word.

PROBST: Foa Foa needs to

match this up.

Yay!

PROBST: Natalie matches up

the pots.

[indistinct chatter]

Foa Foa staying in it.

It's now six-four.

If Galu matches on this turn,

they win the challenge.

Monica out on the course and on

her own now.

Monica reveals the eating

utensils.

If she can match this up, Galu

wins.

And she does with confidence.

Yeah!

PROBST: Galu wins reward.

[screaming]: Yes!

PROBST: Galu, under the new

leadership of Shambo, you

continue to do very well in this

game.

Not only do you win a beautiful

reward and a nice afternoon,

you're taking back with you a

fire-making kit and a tarp.

All right, Shambo, you now have

another big decision to make.

You have to now send somebody

from your tribe over to Foa Foa,

which means they will not go on

the sailboat.

They will not have an afternoon

lunch.

They will not get a break from

camp.

Who are you going to send over

to Foa Foa?

I'm going to send Laura over

to Foa Foa because I need to

keep my guys strong for our

challenge tomorrow, and I'm not

sending myself for a third time.

PROBST: Laura, how does that

sound to you?

I'll take it for the team.

Now that Shambo's chief,

it's like she was raised in a

trailer park, married a rich

guy, and now she's driving

around in a Jaguar treating

everyone like crap, you know?

She sent Laura over to the other

tribe, and Laura's one of our

strongest females.

I don't know if she has a

strategy, I don't know if she's

just pulling it out of her a*s,

I don't know.

PROBST: Laura will return to

Galu at the next immunity

challenge.

Galu, grab your tarp, head out.

Yeah!

PROBST: Boat's waiting for

you.

Got it? All right.

PROBST: Foa Foa, got nothing

for you.

Grab your stuff.

Head back to camp.

It's just like, we just walk

away losing again, but we do

have a pox or a hex or some kind

of curse on Foa Foa.

I don't know.

I'm starting to get

superstitious at this point, you

know?

Hello. I'm Natalie.

I'm Laura. Nice to meet you.

Nice to meet you, Laura.

Finally.

Hey, Laura. Mick.

Hi, Mick.

Good to formally meet you,

finally.

Good to formally meet you.

Pleasure.

I'm Liz.

Hi, Liz. Good to meet you.

Hi. How are you?

Good. Hi, Russell.

Good to meet you.

Nice to meet you.

Welcome.

This is home, huh?

At Foa Foa camp, everybody is

really friendly.

Um, they're doing their very

best to make me feel

comfortable, and I sincerely

appreciate it.

Yeah...

I figured Shambo would send me.

Oh, really?

Yeah, I figured she would

send me over.

Hmm.

So... it's all right, though.

Yeah.

There's definitely an

undercurrent why Sham sent me

over to the Foa Foa tribe.

I mean... I mean, clearly, she

doesn't like me.

Oh, thank you!

That's for you.

Thank you!

You want to come with me and

find some crabs, show you how to

do this?

Yes! Absolutely.

Okay, so you have twins.

Mm-hmm.

I have twin girls that's nine.

My dad's a preacher.

He is?

I'm a theology student.

Really?

Mm-hmm.

I got my degree in women's

ministries.

Really?

I don't want to be a pastor

of men.

I don't believe that, um...

Mm-hmm.

...that's the women's role.

Yeah, but anyway, I'm glad

you came here...

Wow.

...and if you want to listen,

I'll have something that I can

bring to the table.

I'll totally listen.

Uh, I think, eventually, your

butt's going to be on the

chopping block.

Totally.

It might not be as fast as

mine, but eventually, it will.

But if we can get together, you

could protect me at the merge,

and I can protect you.

You know, when it comes down to

it, I hope it's final three,

'cause you know what I hope?

I would hope it would be me,

you and Natalie in the final

three.

Well, I was happy when they

decided to send Laura to our

camp, because it doesn't look

like we're going to go with

numbers into a merge, so what I

have to do now is work my

Houdini magic on Laura.

I can spot a good Christian any

time.

It's easy.

So I'm starting to really like

you now.

[Laura laughs]

Brother from another mother.

So, I'm going to start

working her, working her,

working her like a fine tool.

You know, until she's sharpened

enough just where I want her.

I swear to you, you can trust

me.

What are we going to do, go

to the final two, the two of us

together?

Final two.

Russell came to me and was

conspiring to have this secret

alliance that, clearly, nobody

would ever suspect.

And, you know, that's another

card that I stick in my pocket

that I might want to play.

I mean, you know, it's just food

for thought.

And by the way, that clue you

have?

Yeah.

You might as well throw it

away.

There's no immunity idol here.

Did you find it?

Ben found it and didn't play

it.

Hid it somewhere in the camp.

[indistinct chatter]

Oh, my gosh!

[indistinct chatter]

Awesome.

Wow!

The reward was phenomenal.

We're on this rowboat, headed

toward a pirate ship in the

middle of the islands of Samoa,

and honestly, I just felt like I

don't even deserve that, you

know?

Like, what have I ever done in

life that has been so great that

deserves that kind of an

opportunity?

[applause, indistinct chatter]

Are we helping, or are we

watching?

Uh, you're doing both.

Excellent.

Yay!

Yay!

Haul away!

Haul away, come on!

[whooping, indistinct chatter]

Yeah, get it E!

Use your youthful exuberance

of the purple team.

That's the spirit!

[laughter, indistinct chatter]

Ahoy, matey!

Ahoy, matey!

Come on!

[whooping]

You have to turn the wheel

to the right.

Okay.

Yeah.

Wait!

[screams and whoops]

[whooping]

I'm a sailor!

A pirate ship!

You're, like, the captain of

a pirate ship ready to go rob

some booty.

[laughter]

A little gold, a little

wenchin', a little groggin'.

A little more wenchin'.

Uh-oh, look what's coming out.

Oh, baby.

Oh!

Mm-hmm.

Yay!

Yes!

They fed us this beef stew that

was delicious.

It was almost all meat and a big

chunk of handmade bread and

these amazing scones.

They were delicious.

I was having a good time, man.

This is so beautiful.

What a nice change after 16

days of hell.

My God! Thank you, Lord.

And I appreciate you

not sending me.

Shambo ended up sending Laura

to the other camp.

I think it just was her own

little way of saying, "I'mn

"leader now, and what

I say goes."

I mean, she'd never admit that.

I didn't relish the thought

of sending anybody over there,

but I'm also not gonna feel

bad about it because I think

that I did the right thing by

the tribe, I really do.

♪ ♪

I would've never guessed

that in a million years.

That's cool.

As long as we have

a flame...

And I was just, like, "Yeah."

You know, I understand we

have a guest.

You know, Laura's come here to

hang out with us until the next

immunity challenge, but I don't

really need to hear her and

Natalie talking about the

spiritual book of, you know,

spiritual book of the month,

like, behind my back, when I'm

trying to get a fire started so

that we can eat and drink.

Whoo! I'm going get my hands

washed.

Do you need to do any kind of

laundry or anything?

Oh, gosh.

It's just really infuriating

because they're not helping.

It's time to start a fire.

All they're doing is sitting

there picking their toes and,

like, catching up on good times.

So it was really, really

frustrating, disappointing, and

at times, rather infuriating.

This is like a crisis, and

they're talking about their

faith and books.

Russell, I understand we have a

guest, but they're talking about

book-of-the-month club.

Yeah.

Damn!

Liz is so stupid.

I don't even see how she can

walk without falling down.

It's just ridiculous.

If we merge, we need somebody

on the inside, and Natalie's

doing a good job talking to

Laura around the camp.

So I have to keep Natalie for

my little toy.

You know, she has to be there

for me so I can manipulate her

little mind and do what I want

her to do.

When it comes to this game, you

better be street smart, and Liz

has a mouth on her, and I don't

think she knows when to shut up

so I'm going to keep my eye

on her.

PROBST: Come on in, guys!

All right, Laura,

you can now rejoin Galu.

Galu is back intact.

You guys ready to get to

today's challenge?

Yep.

PROBST: First things first,

Brett, take back immunity.

Thank you.

Mm-hmm.

PROBST: Once again, immunity

is back up for grabs.

For today's challenge, both

tribes will paddle out to

retrieve fish-shaped

puzzle pieces.

Once you've collected all six

sets, you'll then paddle back

where three tribe members will

use those pieces to solve

a puzzle.

First tribe to get it right

wins immunity;

safe from the vote.

Losers... Tribal Council;

somebody going home.

Galu, last challenge it was

Shambo, Kelly, and Dave Ball

who sat out, so you three have

to participate.

Who are going to be the

sit-outs, Shambo?

It's gonna be, uh, John,

Monica, and Laura.

PROBST: All right, before

you go, though, Mick, where's

the leadership necklace?

Uh, well, we left it back,

actually.

We were, uh, halfway wondering

if maybe it was bad luck.

PROBST: But you still have

a leader?

Yes, absolutely.

PROBST: All right.

As long as you have a leader,

the necklace is merely symbolic.

we will see if that is the

difference.

Laura, Monica, John, take a

spot on the bench.

Everybody else, give you a

minute to strategize,

we'll get started.

Here we go.

Galu hoping to continue

their dominance.

Foa Foa hoping that necklace

was, indeed, bad luck.

Survivors ready?

Go!

Three people paddling,

two people fishing.

Hop in, Erik.

PROBST: Foa Foa using

the height of Jaison to

still push their boat.

Foa Foa starting to pull

away now.

Dave, hop out!

Guide us, guide us!

I'm up an out!

PROBST: Galu now getting in

the water trying to push

their boat as well.

Natalie has one for Foa Foa.

Here you go, here you go.

Right there!

Bring it to you.

PROBST: Dave Ball has the

first one for Galu.

Right here.

Come on, Liz.

There you go.

Pull it up.

PROBST: Liz has one for

Foa Foa.

Foa Foa moving on to the second

station.

Come on, you b*tch!

Come on! Oh!

Nice job, Liz!

PROBST: Liz hooks the third

set of puzzle pieces for

Foa Foa.

There you go. There you go.

All right, Natalie.

PROBST: Natalie has the

fourth set!

Foa Foa off to an early lead!

Come on, Dave, you can do it.

Yeah, yeah.

You got it right here, Dave.

PROBST: Dave has the second

set for Galu.

I got it! I got it!

You just push! You just push!

PROBST: Liz snags the fifth

fifth set.

Foa Foa has one set left!

All right.

I need to concentrate.

I need silence, please.

You can do it, Dave.

Be quiet!

Come on, baby.

Yeah, I got it.

I gotcha. I gotcha.

PROBST: Dave has the third

set, Kelly has the fourth set

for Galu.

All right, we're going.

Move it!

PROBST: Liz and Natalie

circling that last set of

puzzle pieces.

That last string of puzzle

pieces.

Get it! Get it!

PROBST: Liz has the last

string of puzzle pieces for

Foa Foa!

Push! Y'all push!

PROBST: Better start

heading back!

Push!

Get on it, both of you!

Quiet!

Got it.

PROBST: Kelly has the fifth

set for Galu.

Good job. You got it.

Right here, babe.

PROBST: Dave has the sixth

set for Galu!

Galu now heading back.

All right, Galu!

PROBST: Foa Foa has one

paddler and two swimmers.

Good job, good job.

PROBST: Galu trying to push

their boat as well.

A lot more work to swim it than

it is to paddle it.

Brett, get in the boat now!

PROBST: Galu now getting

the boat.

Everybody paddling.

Full paddle forward!

Paddle!

Paddle!

PROBST: Galu now using all

their paddlers and they are

gaining on Foa Foa.

Stroke! Stroke!

PROBST: Foa Foa getting it

done without Jaison!

Foa Foa's hooked in.

Get back to your mat.

Galu's hooked in.

Get back to your mat!

[groaning]

Set up time!

Come on. Come on, push, push.

PROBST: You can start

working on the puzzle any time

you like while other

people untie.

Liz working on the puzzle for

Foa Foa.

Dave, Kelly, Brett, working the

puzzle for Galu.

Jaison, Mick, and Liz working

it for Foa Foa.

Here's the last one.

They're going to make a

line, yeah?

Shh!

Liz, I gotta talk to

somebody, all right?

Stop shushing me.

PROBST: Look for

the patterns.

Something to help make

sense of it.

Look at the colors.

Match the colors.

We are, we have! Look. See?

Yeah, that's...

PROBST: Jaison frustrated.

You can't give up.

Can they fit like this?

Like this?

Yeah.

PROBST: Every single inch of

this may not be filled

with fish.

There may be gaps in

this puzzle.

That may be part of the pattern.

PROBST: Foa Foa thinks

they're on to it.

Galu starting to get a pattern

pattern going.

Follow that pattern.

If you've got it, follow it.

Here you go, good job.

PROBST: Galu starting to

pull away now.

Jaison, Liz, and Mick

struggling to keep in this.

Goes like this.

Yeah, like that.

PROBST: Galu thinks they have

have it.

Galu wins immunity!

[all cheering]

Yeah, baby!

Right on!

Whoo!

PROBST: Galu, once again

immunity is yours.

Well, Mick, it looks

looks like it wasn't

the necklace.

We had the pattern, I think,

before they did.

We just couldn't get the pieces

together quick enough.

You know, again, it's

frustrating.

PROBST: All right, Foa Foa,

once again Tribal Council

tonight where one of the five

of you are going home.

Grab your stuff.

Head back to camp.

These idiots are probably

gonna cost me

a million dollars.

I planned on having a lot of

fun with the money,

a lot of fun.

Maybe we need to get rid of

Jaison because he gave up

out there.

He's just standing there

looking at the puzzle like it's

gonna move itself.

We gotta mix something up, so

what happens, happens.

♪ ♪

This whole time I wanted to

get rid of Liz, get rid of Liz.

But you know what?

Jaison gave up when we were

pushing the boat, and then he

was so tired, he couldn't even

get up there and do a puzzle.

It's amazing to me that he

can't, you know, get these

puzzles down.

I don't know.

He's sure not going to be my

attorney.

How in the world are they

beating us in puzzles, Mick?

I don't know.

Jaison went...

You went to medical school,

Jaison when to freakin' Oxford,

Stanford.

I know. I know. I know.

I know.

Gee!

I can't explain it, my

friend.

I cannot explain it.

Agreed.

You know, like, when you lose

so much, all you want to do is,

like, go into, like... crawl

into a hole, fetal position?

That's how I feel.

Quite embarrassed.

I don't get it.

We were ahead, too.

I just don't know what... how

we... why we always lose our

lead.

I have no idea what's going

to happen in this vote tonight.

I did not perform well in the

puzzle, I don't think.

You know, I couldn't get with

the program.

I kind of felt like dead weight

to the team.

So, for all I know, they could

be voting me out.

Well, sorry about my performance

on the puzzle.

I couldn't figure that thing out

to save my life today.

Yeah.

I'm trying to concentrate on

putting it behind me.

Hope tomorrow's a brighter day.

Okay.

Okay, these are the two

options.

Now, I've been thinking about

this.

Natalie, for sure... or...

Yeah?

...Jaison.

I know.

Now listen why.

He's been dragging his feet

lately.

Yeah.

Yeah, go back.

With tonight's Tribal

Council, my survivor stock has

gone up because I certainly

thought the vote would be

between me and Natalie, just

because we're physically, you

know, smaller, weaker, than the

three guys, but I guess,

strategically, you know, it may

make more sense for Jaison to

go, and I'm actually quite

thrilled because I never would

have anticipated that.

You know, I got a decision

to make.

It's going to have to be either

Liz or Jaison.

The thing is, with Liz, I don't

know if we can trust her once

the merge happens.

But the thing is with Jaison, I

still think I can trust the

guy, but, you know, we still

got to think about winning in

challenges.

We're losing with the team we

have.

We've got to find some way to

win.

Something has to give.

PROBST: Well, there's no use

going over the dismal facts.

Losing eight out of ten

challenges, or the fact that

after tonight, you'll be down to

four members, while Galu holds

strong at eight.

One of the worst overall

performances of any tribe in

the history of the game.

Natalie, what I want to know is,

where is the attitude on this

tribe?

Still hanging in there?

Absolutely.

It doesn't do any good, uh, to

get negative, so we have to go

in to any challenge with our

heads up, because if we don't,

then we're done, so...

PROBST: Russell, do you still

wake up every morning and think,

today's the day?

Yup, every morning.

All we really can do is hope for

the merge 'cause they outplayed

us.

They're outlasting us.

But one thing I promise you--

them kids over there-- there's

no way in hell that they can

outwit me.

PROBST: Liz, if you get to a

merge, do you trust these guys?

Absolutely.

There is no doubt.

After all these Tribal

Councils, I absolutely trust

each and every one of these

people up here with me 100%.

PROBST: Mick, any doubt in

your mind about the

trustworthiness of this group

of people?

Honestly, Jeff, none.

The performance aspect-- we

haven't done great, obviously.

But there's still a social game

to be played, and that trust is

at the absolute core of our

survival, and we all know that.

PROBST: So, Russell, being

this tight, got to be hard to

vote somebody out again tonight.

It is very hard.

You know, five people down to

four people.

You know, it almost seems

hopeless, but if we can just

keep that four together, then

you'll see.

You'll see exactly...

The whole thing's gonna change.

PROBST: Jaison, since we got

here, you've been like this all

night.

Occasionally popping your head

up.

What's the hardest part about

this for you?

I am frustrated with losing,

is really what I'm frustrated

about.

And I actually do feel like I

have some large responsibility

in these losses.

You know, today in the puzzle.

You know, I feel like Mick did

a really good job figuring out

what the pattern was.

I think Liz had the pattern

going, but I just couldn't

figure out how to see the

pattern at my end, and so, I

don't feel like I performed at

a level at which I should have.

PROBST: So if you're voted

out tonight based on today's

performance, would it be fair?

If they decide that, you

know, my performance today

warrants me to walk away, I hope

that that is what is necessary

for them to win tomorrow.

PROBST: All right, it is

time to vote.

Mick, you're up.

This is totally strategic

and not at all personal.

Sorry.

PROBST: I'll go tally the

votes.

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-- Jaison.

Liz.

One vote-- Jaison, one vote--

Liz.

Liz.

That's two votes Liz, one vote

Jaison.

Sixth person voted out of

Survivor: Samoa-- Liz.

That's three. That's enough.

You need to bring me your

torch.

Good luck, guys.

PROBST: Liz, the tribe has

spoken.

Time for you to go.

Well, you haven't been very

successful at challenges, but

you're getting really good at

blindsides.

Grab your torches, head back to

camp.

Good night.

PROBST: Stay tuned for scenes

from our next episode.

PROBST: Next time on

Survivor.

[indistinct chatter, cheering]

To our new tribe.

New tribe.

[whooping]

All of a sudden, all hell

breaks loose.

Monica needs to go home

tonight.

It's Erik 100%.

I got to do what I got to do.

Things are going to get crazy

tomorrow out here.

This experience was...

It was nothing but intense.

My tribe mates outwitted me.

It was a very strategic move,

and the tables turned so quickly

that, you know, it's a little

bit surprising, but kudos to

them.

I really, really hope that they

make it to the end.

And this is one hell of a game,

so I'm glad I made it as far as

I did.
