PROBST: Previously onSurvivor...

What I have for an advantage is essentially done.

He's literally instructing us on how to play the game.

So a little contradictory.

DREW: Myself, Julie, Austin and Dee.

This is gonna be the solid group.

-So... -Do y'all want amulets? -I'm down with that, too.

AUSTIN: They're gonna get my revenge

for getting in between

me and that friggin' sandwich.

I think we have Emily in a good spot.

EMILY: There's been lobbying from both Belo and Reba.

The pressure is on to make the right decision.

Fifth person voted out of Survivor ...

Brando.

The tribe has spoken.

KENDRA: We survived.

DREW: We did.

Yeah.

No, for sure.

-EMILY: I'm sorry. -No hard feelings.

KENDRA: No, it's all good.

No.

Like, I want to work with you guys.

EMILY: I'm feeling good.

I voted with Drew and Austin

to get rid of Brando, because

that's the first time in this game

that I felt like I was being brought in on a team

as opposed to just being manipulated or dragged along.

But my heart goes out for Kendra.

She took it very kindly.

I expected her to be a bit more upset.

No hard feelings.

Like, my biggest hope is that we can, us four,

can, like, come into this game

and, like, really, really, really, like, ... up.

-[laughs] -Yeah, totally. -Totally.

KENDRA: I seem cool, calm, collected. But really,

I'm devastated.

I was blindsided.

This is messed up. Emily flipped on me. And so

I want to get revenge on Emily.

I don't want you to feel like I don't trust you

-at all. -Yeah. -Please don't read this as you--

-"Oh, you're on the bottom." That's not what it is at all. -Mm-hmm.

-Okay. -At all.

KENDRA: There's this little petty part

that lives inside me that I can't use

in my day-to-day life because I live in karma.

ButSurvivorseems like the perfect place

to let this little, petty Kendra out,

and I'm coming for them.

BRUCE: Is that a leaf?

Oh, that looked like a piece of parchment.

KALEB: Since the swap,

I've been building some goodwill with these people.

Now my number one focus is to find the idol.

But if I can't have the idol, I'd rather know who has it.

So I want the rest

of my tribe to also be looking.

JAKE: Ooh, there's a snake over here.

-KELLIE: Really? -Yeah.

-KELLIE: Where? -It's right here.

Hidden immunity idols. Like, what the hell?

Where are they? I mean,

I'm running into snakes.

I've taken so many spiderwebs right to the face,

which is disgusting.

JAKE: Just be careful. When we were looking earlier, Bruce,

there were snakes in these trees.

Hey.

Uncle Bruce.

-We have something. -KALEB: Totally.

-Now... -Let's find out what it is.

-Doesn't say "Beware." [gasps] -What-what is it?

We do it right now. Open it.

BRUCE: When I see "Beware," at this

point in time, I don't care.

I don't.

I'm just happy that I found, you know,

potentially, a hidden immunity idol.

I just now lost my vote. I...

That's-that's in there. Boop. I lost my vote.

I got to try like the dickens to find this idol.

-Ready? -JAKE: Run.

-Let's go. Go, Bruce. -[chuckles]

BRUCE: It's up for grabs. So I took off running.

Took off running. [trilling]

[laughs]

We get back to camp, and Katurah's not there.

Perfect.

In this game, I'm not seeing eye to eye with Katurah.

Our relationship is fractured.

So I want Katurah to be left out.

And I just start digging in the middle of the shelter.

I'm doggy-paddling through it.

I'm back of my hand, front of my hand.

I'm moving dirt as much as possible, and I can't find

a thing. Kellie, she's my lookout.

When is Katurah coming back?

Then all of a sudden, like, "Oh, no, she's coming."

[Katurah scoffs]

How's things over here?

-KATURAH: Oh. -BRUCE: All that's on my mind

is "How the hell can we get her out of here

so I can start digging again to find this damn idol?"

[whoops] Ready for today.

JAKE: Little halt on the plan right there.

And if Bruce can't find it, he doesn't have a vote,

he's a sitting duck.

So I have to help him out.

InSurvivor, you got to get creative.

You got to think of different strategies.

Dude, I lost one of my rings, man.

-BRUCE: What? -I lost one of my rings, bro.

I give Kaleb a wink right away.

He knows what I'm doing. And then, you know,

I give Bruce a wink right away. He knows what I'm doing.

Dude, it's got to, it's got to be in here somewhere, dude.

My ring is a decoy, and we don't want to tell Katurah

because we've been trying to vote her out a little bit.

And I got to put on the performance of a lifetime.

I'm looking for my rings, and I'm so upset.

I'm cursing to the high heavens of how upset I am.

fresh blood in the game this morning--

I can't even tell you how

excited I am.

To get to this place in the game,

I feel like is a huge triumph for me.

And if this adventure was a song,

I would say that everything up until this point

Holy crap. We're gonna be leaving soon.

So, clock's ticking, and now my heart's racing,

knowing that I don't have a vote.

So I'm looking at the center, where it could very well be,

Boom. There it is.

Seconds before leaving this beach.

Ah! I have a hidden immunity idol, baby, in my hand.

This is friggin' fantastic.

I don't know what's crazier, being here

EMILY: What's up?

I have some apologizing to do.

KALEB: I can't believe that Emily made it this far.

She was so bad to start the game,

but I can see she's really come into her own.

-Should we go see what we're working with? -Let's go check it out...

KALEB: She is an ally that I can truly trust in

to be able to navigate the rest of this game

when we're the only two people

on Lulu left. And hopefully

we get to be the swing votes

that are pulled into either Belo or Reba.

-We have a surprise for everyone. -Oh, yeah.

KENDRA: What?

[cheering]

And we got a big-a*s fish, man.

-[excited chatter] -So, like, there's enough. There's a lot to eat.

DREW: If you haven't eaten, I think...

KENDRA: I am so hungry. I start

absolutely losing my mind.

DREW: Oh.

KENDRA: Besides all the fish,

this is a big moment right here.

We finally get to be at the beach

with everyone left in the game

for the first time.

I'm so happy to, like, meet everyone,

just to, like, be at this point.

KENDRA: But it's a lot coming in here. Everyone's overwhelmed.

Everyone's trying to, like, meet each other.

I'm trying to find my footing.

Luckily, my people know that I'm an old

"Belo strong" person. So,

I'm already close with Jake. I'm already close with Katurah.

I'm already close with Kellie. Me and Bruce are cool.

It starts raining, we're screwed.

So let's get to work and get some stuff done.

-That's Bruce Brucin'. -[laughing]

KENDRA: So I'm just connecting with old Belo

and giving them information.

Information is huge in this game.

Emily flipped on me and voted Brando out with the boys.

So she's playing the game, which is good.

It's good to know.

EMILY: I think my position right now is relatively precarious.

Day one, I called Bruce out.

I didn't think twice about the comments I made.

Um, these comments have taken on a life of their own,

almost pitted Bruce and I against each other.

There was the conversation that we had at the marooning, right?

EMILY: Yes. I...

For what it's worth, I-I... at my job a lot,

but in general, I love to play devil's advocate a little bit.

-You don't need to apologize. -Thank you.

I'm dead serious, like, it's just...

I-I look at this as the game. This is the game.

What you were saying made sense to you.

-That's what you wanted to say. -Exactly.

BRUCE: She apologized. On the surface, I'm like,

"Oh, my God, you're so fine. Everything is good."

Underneath, I'm like, "I'm-a get you.

Your time's coming."

So what happened last night with Brando?

Yeah.

So Brando was a tough vote.

Um, I'm sorry. I know that you guys were close.

I think both Bruce and I can move forward.

But just because we can move forward

from the comments on the barge

doesn't mean we can move forward in an alliance.

You know, we hug and we move on,

but in the game ofSurvivor, it's about understanding

if we can trust one another moving forward,

and we don't hold grudges.

There was an option to choose food or strategy.

-I wanted food so friggin' bad. I was going for food. -Yeah, we figured...

And J. was the one who wanted strategy the most.

-Really? -Basically we each have an amulet.

Ever since losing that sandwich at the journey,

I've been just wanting revenge.

Like, I wanted only those sandwiches

and nothing else in this world.

But J. was adamant on these amulets.

I need people to know

that I'm pissed at those two, that I want

them two out. If they're out, it's better for me

and I finally get revenge

on losing my sandwiches.

The only issue is it can upgrade.

So if one of the three gets voted out,

it gets turned into a Steal a Vote.

-Then if there's one left, -DEE: How can we flush that out?

-Uh-huh. -then it's a full idol.

Not only do I have my amulet in my pocket,

I have an idol that expires after this first Tribal Council

unless I sacrifice my vote again.

[whispers]: Okay. Run!

I would like to sacrifice my vote,

but in order to do that,

we need to bring in the numbers,

and we need to find a common enemy

that people are willing to vote out.

Okay, at what point are we getting J. out?

DEE: Dude, she needs to go.

For me, it's J. For sure.

-Me too. -It has to be J. -J. first?

J. could be a good option, because we can get

Belo on board. We can get Reba on board.

-We can get Lulu on board. -DEE: Yeah.

JULIE: It should be so simple that Reba has six,

but I think that we're not six strong.

I think that J. has been on the bottom,

and J. is gonna cut us the minute she can.

-We are. -Yes. Yeah.

Absolutely.

DREW: This is a core four. So,

I'm in a good position right now, because

I like to be in charge. I like to be the leader.

And we have the numbers to kind of whittle down

some of our first targets in the merge.

We could just squash them.

KENDRA: Oh, look at that little stick bug.

Hello.

Aw.

Like, I want to get going right now.

I don't want this, like, this, like, meet and greet.

"Oh, I'm super nice.

-[gasps] [laughing] -I'm just messing with you guys.

We're just talking about Tribal.

Or they're like, "I have some information."

I see divisions on the Reba tribe

that I didn't necessarily see on the old Belo tribe.

-Uh-huh. -And so I was like,

I think that gives us a better shot to...

-Exactly. -Yeah.

%. I trust you.

I... Me too.

I know

Emily is somebody who's trustworthy to me.

So that makes her the most valuable person to me right now.

And Emily's already in with Reba.

She's already worked with them on a vote.

And I've been with Belo since the swap.

So, there's a lot of opportunity for us

to get information and play both sides,

hopefully without getting caught in the middle.

-Reba doesn't care about the lines. -Yeah.

But then it's, like, who do we pick off?

-Do you know what I mean? -Oh, yeah.

I just don't know how close things are at Reba, still.

AUSTIN: Things have been getting fractured.

This last Tribal Council,

both Sifu and Dee's name came up.

At this point, I'm in Belo's ear.

-You know what I mean? -Okay, good.

And so I can hopefully use that to help

-kind of triangulate what... what's going on. -EMILY: Okay.

KALEB: My focus at this point is to present

the most trustworthy and likable version of Kaleb.

So I'm selling myself, and what I want people to see

is not this monster

who's coming to destroy all the players in the game--

which is true, by the way.

-Know what I mean? -Mm-hmm.

KALEB: I've been able to work the whole group. We're vibing.

but they should never let me in their home.

-All you have to do is win, then. Yeah. -Yeah.

Nobody's having a conversation with me.

Nobody's talking strategy with me.

No one's having even

a-a personal, one-on-one

relationship conversation with me.

Someone that's kind of just lurking around

and, you know, not a part of what's going on.

Nobody's, like, nobody's talked to you?

-No. I have not had a single convers... -Besides, like, to Belo?

Not even to Belo.

-So... -Oh...

What's Kaleb doing?

He is trying to run this using his slickness.

I'm seeing Kaleb,

literally, floating around around between everybody.

And I'm standing there like

the last kid being picked for a game in the playground,

twiddling my thumbs,

waiting for someone to come talk to me and... nothing.

What do you mean?

Belo. Why haven't we gotten together and talked yet?

I think people are nervous to talk right now.

But that's the thing-- like, what-what...

Maybe your leadership will be,

you know, enough to wrangle people.

'Cause Kaleb's doing it. He's bouncing around to everybody.

Yeah.

BRUCE: If we're running a race, the starting g*n goes off,

Reba's ahead.

Belo hasn't even started.

We're going around in circles.

Kaleb is masterminding this, and we are losing.

Belo is losing. For that fact.

-Okay? -All right.

BRUCE: My game plan was to sit back and just chill.

Well, now I got to shift gears a little bit.

Nobody's talking to me.

Not a single soul is talking to me.

-I had no conversation. -We're completely open with you.

-Dude... -You are powerful right now. You just might not realize it.

-Yeah. -I can't take my leadership role that I had over on Belo

and bring it here and say, "Let's all get together."

I can't do that here now because everybody doesn't want to talk.

It leaves Belo in a bad situation,

puts you in a great situation.

You get to walk around and talk to whoever it is

that you want to, because it's just you and Emily.

KALEB: Bruce is mad at me

for having conversations with people who aren't Belo.

It was like

I was a guy who got pulled over by a cop,

getting shaken down for every piece of information

and telling me how wrong I was, when I didn't even do anything.

If you want the original Belo to do their thing

together with you, then

you have to seriously do some damage control.

-Okay. -And that's gonna help me, it's gonna help you,

it's gonna help Belo, and we're gonna go from there.

We're gonna pull one person in.

KALEB: He has a very archaic way of looking at the game.

He wants us to not talk to the enemy.

And I think that's the stupidest thing ever, you know?

I appreciate what you're saying.

Please, obviously keep it, as much as you can, on the low.

-Oh, of course. -Now I'm gonna try and just...

Who would I talk to? Nobody's talking to me.

So we're good, dude. [chuckles] %.

I don't trust Bruce. It's that simple.

Yeah. He's, like, not happy with you.

Basically saying you're talking to too many people.

Which it's, like, what am I supposed to do?

I know. I know.

He was like, "You're not hearing me.

Like, we have to be Belo strong."

I'm like, "What? What are we gonna tell the other side?"

-He's like, "It doesn't matter." -Yes, it does.

I know. But that's, like...

-He's impossible to play with. -I know.

KELLIE: Bruce I have been working with this whole game,

but he's a liability to play with.

It seems like he really, truly cannot help himself.

And everyone on Belo is annoyed with him. He has an idol,

which makes him scary.

I'm, like, so done with him. I'm gonna be honest.

He's really pissing me off.

KALEB: I think he'll be so confident.

It'll be the perfect time to do something.

or anyone what to do. At this point, I would be fine

with blindsiding Bruce and getting him out of the game.

-Go, Bruce! -KALEB: You're right there, Jake.

You're right there, you're right there.

KATURAH: Let's go, Blue.

-Go, Red! -KATURAH: Let's go, baby.

-PROBST: Here comes Dee. -You got it.

Bruce working his way through.

JAKE: Here we go, Dee. Here we go.

You're good, Blue. Here goes Drew.

Let's go, Blue.

JAKE: Here we go.

Go, Red.

Here comes Kellie.

Right here, right here. My voice, my voice.

Go, Blue. Here goes Kendra.

KATURAH: Let's go, Kendra.

Go, Red.

Here comes J.

-SIFU: Push, right now. -AUSTIN: There you go...

PROBST: Kendra's through.

Here goes Julie, the last person for Blue.

J. is really struggling for Red.

-KALEB: It's all right. -[overlapping shouting]

PROBST: That rope has a lot of resistance.

-KELLIE: You got to get lower. -She cannot get through it.

Julie now passes J.

-Blue, you're good. -Come on. Let's go.

Blue is moving on to the next stage.

They're at the cart.

That's it, Sifu.

-Right here, right here. -All right, sandbag.

PROBST: All the bags in the center section.

This is a turning point right now,

because Blue is in the lead,

and J. continues to struggle.

She's got to get to the mat.

Go!

Here goes Emily, the last person for Red.

BRUCE: One, two, three. Hard push.

-Hard push. -Watch your legs.

PROBST: Blue is on the move.

They've got their first set of sandbags.

Blue extending their lead.

Get to the mat.

JAKE: Let's go.

You're good, Red.

Red now at the cart phase.

-AUSTIN: Push. -JULIE: We got it.

PROBST: Whatever it takes to get momentum with that cart.

Kaleb's gonna try to pull it a little.

JULIE: Go, go, go.

Blue continues to move ahead.

These bags are heavy. Kellie trying to do one herself.

-JAKE: Oh, yeah, baby. -That's how much they weigh.

[grunts loudly]

Let's go, Blue. Let's go.

PROBST: This last section's so heavy,

but Blue has got it.

-Into the cart. All the way. -KATURAH: Yes! Yes, Blue, yes!

PROBST: You're good.

KENDRA: Okay.

Those last sandbags now are strategic.

You're gonna use them to build a pile

-to help you get up to the top of the tower. -KENDRA: Pile it up.

-JAKE: Go! -[straining]

PROBST: Here goes Red. Can they do it?

They're over one.

Get that momentum.

-JAKE: Keep going! Go! -PROBST: They're over two.

-Wow. Nice work by Red. -JAKE: Yeah, baby!

PROBST: Small tribe in stature,

clearly big in effort.

KATURAH: Don't give up that lead!

PROBST: It is Blue, still with a sizable lead.

Now you got to work together to get to the top of the tower.

Everybody's got to get to the top

before you can release your keys.

[grunting]

PROBST: Red has closed the lead.

They are gaining on Blue now.

Blue, one by one,

moving up to the top of the tower.

-Yes. -BRUCE: Come on, baby.

PROBST: Austin last to the top. Good!

You can untie your bag of keys.

AUSTIN: What order? Who's up first?

-JAKE: Go! -PROBST: Red has all their bags.

One more big push.

-Let's go, let's go, let's go! -Go.

PROBST: Here goes Sifu, down with the keys.

-On his butt. -[grunting]

Look at that. That's how you do it onSurvivor!

[whoops]

-Organize them. -Yeah.

-PROBST: Let's go, Red. Keep digging. -DEE: I'll help over here.

I got wedgied myself. Ugh.

Drew, you're good. Here comes Austin.

-Blue extending the lead again. -KATURAH: There we go.

PROBST: Well done, Blue. Everybody to the globe.

-Let's go. -You are amazing.

Get a couple up, and then we'll get Sifu.

PROBST: Still got a two-part puzzle left to solve.

-Yeah, yeah, yeah. -One, two, three, up.

PROBST: That mud makes it so difficult.

-Next one. -DEE: Guys, we got it.

They're still getting up the ball.

-We got it, okay? -PROBST: If you want to get to the merge,

you got to dig in right here.

[grunting]

Kendra now pulling Sifu. He's up.

A lot of teamwork with people you're competing against.

Right now, hold your life in the game in their hands,

or in this case, their foot.

Austin hanging on through the slippery mud.

-Yes! -PROBST: Nice job by Blue.

I think Austin and I are gonna go first.

KELLIE: Okay. You're good. Go.

There's Kaleb. Let's go. Untie the keys.

Let's go. We got to go, go, go.

PROBST: You're good, Red. Here goes Jake.

[groans, grunts]

PROBST: He takes a big tumble.

Aah!

-Through the piles. -PROBST: Drew and Austin

with a huge time advantage on this first part of the puzzle.

BRUCE: Piece this together, guys.

We got to do everything together.

[overlapping chatter]

Ow!

PROBST: Kellie took a big hit.

JAKE: Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, I'm good.

You're good, Red. Hit the globe.

-KELLIE: Who's going up first? -Me.

-Everybody got to get up. -[indistinct chatter]

You are still in this, Red, but you got to move.

[grunting]

KALEB: You got it?

Beautiful work right there.

PROBST: It is Drew and Austin with a big puzzle to solve.

This is part one. It will indicate

what part two is when you get there.

-BRUCE: Okay, okay. -AUSTIN: Okay.

KELLIE: You got it. You got it, baby. Let's go.

PROBST: Red has made up a ton of time right here.

Kaleb digging.

Kaleb's up for Red! Let's go, Red, to the puzzle.

You're on the platform now.

-DEE: Stay calm, okay? -PROBST: Now Jake and Kellie doing

part one for Red. Could they make up the time here?

-Yup, yup, yup. -PROBST: Katurah put all of her faith in Blue.

Right now, Blue is in the lead.

Drew with another piece.

-Come on, guys. -DREW: Austin with another piece.

-All right. -Blue thinks they have it, and they do.

Next two moving on to the next puzzle.

It is now Julie and Kendra

trying to solve the rebus puzzle

that Drew and Austin just put together.

What is the phrase you're looking for now?

JULIE: All right, guys, you got it.

Get your puzzle!

Hey, move that one.

PROBST: This is it. Winners move on to the merge,

will have a merge meal and get that Buff,

immunity at tonight's Tribal Council.

Kendra ripping through it quickly

with another piece and another.

She thinks she knows the phrase.

Red is gonna have to get something going fast.

Jake, this one. This one. Jake, this one.

DREW: Wait. "Safe."

PROBST: Kendra gonna take pieces out, start again.

-The door is open for Red. -DREW: Safely.

PROBST: You got to keep digging.

-Come on, come on, come on. -PROBST: Red with another piece.

Kellie hefting another piece.

Julie and Kendra are gonna try something different.

-Okay. -PROBST: Say it.

-And you are. -[yelling]

Katurah picked the right six.

Safe tonight at Tribal Council.

They will move on and enjoy it with a merge meal.

Different result at the other end.

Big effort, came up short. Somebody going home tonight.

No food, no Buff, no security.

-Blue, congratulations. -KENDRA: Thank you so much.

Here are your Buffs. Katurah, here's yours.

Open it up and put 'em on.

-You earned 'em. -KENDRA: Yes.

Sifu, Bruce, Kendra, Drew, Julie,

Katurah and Austin, you have successfully transitioned

into the next phase of the game.

You are now part of the merged tribe.

It's awesome.

PROBST: All right, here's what's gonna happen.

Tonight at Tribal Council, you can't be voted out.

You will still cast a vote and decide who goes home.

This afternoon, you're gonna head to the sanctuary,

where good things happen.

Your first real proper food in days.

Well earned.

On the other end, look at the difference,

these faces.

Kaleb, what do you do in a situation like this,

where there isn't anything to do other than accept it?

Yeah, I'm actually weirdly at peace.

We lost, and it sucks.

But I've been losing a lot out here, as well, along with Emily.

We fought as hard as we could,

and so, we go back, and we play the game.

-That's all you can do at this point. -PROBST: All right,

Kaleb, J., Jake, Kellie, Emily,

and Dee, you're gonna go back to camp,

try to figure out what you need to do

to make sure it's not you

who is the sixth person voted out ofSurvivor.

Grab your stuff, head out.

See you tonight at Tribal Council.

-Good effort, guys. -You guys rock. -PROBST: All right,

-head out, head to the sanctuary. -[yelling]

-Yes! -PROBST: Enjoy your well-earned meal.

You rock, man.

-Yourock. You literally just rocked it. -[Sifu laughs]

Yeah.

JULIE: I feel terrible

that six are starving and not safe, but

being safe tonight... is huge.

If you do the numbers,

the seven at the feast can decide who goes home.

Who's gonna risk throwing out a name?

KENDRA: To making the merge,

Survivor, let's get it!

[whooping]

[shouting]: Blue.

-[whooping, cheering] -Let's go!

KATURAH: We're eating for the first time

in days. What the hell?

DREW: The challenge today was the singular

most important challenge in this game, because not only

do you win a Buff, you have made the merge, officially,

and you are then awarded a feast.

-Oh, my God. Butter. -KENDRA: I friggin' love butter.

-I would make love to it. -[laughs]

DREW: That food empowered me

physically and strategically,

because when you go to that merge feast,

everyone's guard is on the floor.

-Ah. [whoops] -KATURAH: Yeah.

DREW: Everyone wants to talk to one another.

Everyone is open to working with another.

We all know we're safe. None of us can be targets.

We should talk a little bit about the vote tonight.

Open the floor. What do you got?

SIFU: I will put this out there.

J. is top of my list right now.

KATURAH: J.? Okay.

DREW: There is no love for J. here, and

I think I would be fine with that decision.

So y'all don't have, like, a deep connection to J.?

JULIE: She wrote Sifu's name down.

KATURAH: Oh, really?

I think she's literally just trying to slither up

and trying to cut people's throats.

JULIE: Sifu thinks that J. wrote his name down,

so he's, for sure, ready to let her go.

What he doesn't know is that Dee wrote his name down.

But I'm fine with J. going home tonight,

because I do feel like she'd cut me if she had the chance.

Here's just a thought.

Kaleb and Emily are the only two left from Lulu, right?

-AUSTIN: Yeah. -KENDRA: In my mind,

Kaleb is a dangerous player,

and from the beginning, I've had my eye on him.

That's just where I stand.

KATURAH: The only thing I'm thinking is

Emily is kind of not connected to Reba,

not really connected to Belo.

She's a safe vote in the middle.

He's a threat in this game. Like, he's talking to everyone.

Like, he's great at challenges.

Yes. I've seen a lot of gameplay by Kaleb.

Being, like, social, Kaleb, you know, it's time.

KENDRA: I % agree with you.

-Really? Okay. -SIFU: He's a player.

I thought all Belo is working with Kaleb.

So why the heck are Kendra and Bruce over there saying,

"Oh, yeah, Kaleb's got to go"?

I like the guy, but I see it. I see it.

KATURAH: We like him. We trust him. We want him.

He's a clear number for us.

So I don't want to get rid of Kaleb.

They're just blowing up the whole game.

Their strategy is all messed up.

-[whooping] -KATURAH: Happy merge, baby!

EMILY: Oh, my God. I am so disgusting!

KALEB: Yeah. You got dirt on your, like, neck and stuff.

KELLIE: Oh, my God.

JAKE: That immunity challenge was tough, man.

That kicked my a*s.

I am freaking out.

I haven't been to Tribal yet, so,

if I could describe the feeling right now in one utterance,

it's, "Aah!" [laughs]

No. You got to teach me your ways, man.

-You survived a couple of these. -Yeah.

-I need to take some lessons. -Yeah.

JAKE: Yeah, I'm scared.

I need to save my a*s tonight.

I'm gonna be here tomorrow, J. I want you to be here tomorrow.

-You know what I mean? -I want you to be...

I want us both to be here tomorrow.

-Yeah, yeah. -And so,

I think a Lulu should go home tonight.

It's either Emily or Kaleb.

I-I do like Kaleb.

-Kaleb, would... -I like him a lot, but he's a physical threat.

-He is. -He's a social threat.

Physical, social. Yeah. No, he is.

J. MAYA: Kaleb has been the smile-iest guy onSurvivor.

He's working really hard

to charm everyone that he speaks to.

That kind of puts you on high alert.

So I bring up

Kaleb's name, because in my head,

I think that he's a good, safe vote.

-I think it's good to project Reba strong right now. -Yeah.

Because people are scared of us.

-Yeah. -And they should be.

Obviously, I do know that my Reba Tribemates have my back.

We have the numbers on Reba, so, that's how tonight's gonna go.

If you had to choose someone, who would you choose?

My trepidation-- and, like, I don't know

-if you feel the same way-- is throwing out a name. -Yeah.

Can't give all, like, the cards away, and, like,

-I know you get that, you know? -Right, right. Okay, look,

I'm a bit more open, I think, than you are.

I'll tell you the name that I want.

-Okay. -J.

-Like, I'm, like, shocked by that, but, um... -Yeah.

-I know, 'cause it's Reba, but... -What you...

What you tell me to do, I'm down with, man.

DEE: Voting off J.-- it's not gonna burn bridges

between Reba, Belo and Lulu, and J. wasn't really part of

our Reba alliance with the four of us.

So, sorry, J., but

whatever. It's gonna be over,

and we're gonna forgive each other.

I wouldn't mind writing her name down.

KALEB: I'm a little bit surprised.

-Yeah. -'Cause I just thought, like,

it sounded like the girls were so close.

I mean, she'll be surprised, too.

-Yeah. -Yeah.

-Dee told me she wants J. gone. -KELLIE: What?

No.

She said I didn't, like...

-So there's a lot of animosity with J. -So... Yes.

KELLIE: This is perfect for me, because if you take out J.,

you're knocking down these sort of traditional Reba numbers.

And the other benefit is if we do vote her out, now

me and Austin have upgraded the level of our amulet.

EMILY: I feel really bad for her because

-I think she's so lovely, and she's so kind. -She's lovely.

But it's survival right now. Yeah, that's how I feel.

But at this stage of the game, there are so many people.

It's very difficult to say,

"This is where everybody stands."

Because people had a decision

at the merge feast among people

who would probably never work together.

Like, it was a hodgepodgey group.

Oh, look at these full bellies

-coming up here! Geez. -They're back!

KELLIE: Would they ever have really

all gotten together-- all seven of them--

and come to some consensus decision? No friggin' way.

How the heck do I know what's really gonna happen?

[whooping]

Some good waves right now.

[indistinct chatter]

We're like, "Hey, come on back up.

-Let's get you talking." -"We're just waiting." Exactly.

JAKE: Yeah, yeah. No, we're just waiting. ♪ Sitting around ♪

-♪ Couple of sitting ducks, quacking. ♪ -I am ready.

I hate them. [laughing]

[laughing]

KALEB: Loserville-- population six.

As they go wash off their mud,

we're sitting there in the shelter

like cattle, just wondering which one of us is gonna

get picked next.

They have all of this power.

They want, from that seven of us,

-J. and Kaleb. -KELLIE: Okay. Yeah.

-So who are y'all thinking? -J.

-Okay, so we're all good on J.? -Yeah. -Yeah.

And the good news is, the Reba folks are fine with J.

-Okay. Yeah. -Yeah.

KATURAH: The only other name that they want is Kaleb.

He's been on my radar from the beginning.

I don't want us to lose Kaleb just yet.

Kaleb is, like, Belo strong right now.

What we need is a Reba girl to go home.

I actually... I do agree with that.

-KATURAH: Yeah. -KENDRA: Okay.

Well, Bruce made it seem different

-to me. -Yeah, that's it.

-We can't, like... It... -I'm not.

-Okay. Right. -As part of the plan, I'm voting J.

-My vote will say J. tonight, %. -Okay.

Katurah doesn't want to vote Kaleb.

Kaleb-- he's dangerous.

I see little butterflies flying around.

That's what he's doing.

With his smile, his little, you know?

Kaleb can bounce around like little butterflies.

We got to watch out for this dude because he's conniving.

Over J.?

BRUCE: Kaleb is bouncing back and forth.

I don't want that in my way.

Sorry. You got to go.

Reba, Belo, Lulu. [blows raspberry] I don't care.

Tribal lines are gone.

Oh, all day. All day.

-Yeah, I'm sure you know. -Yup.

And I think that makes a lot of sense.

-All right, there you go. -Okay.

DREW: Bruce opens and says,

"Kaleb is the right pick." I am elated

because my fear in voting Kaleb was

you could be kicking the Belo hornet's nest,

and they could all come right after you stinging.

But now,

I can kick the hornet's nest all day.

They're out to lunch.

You know, they're with me. They don't care.

Right now, Bruce is feeling very vulnerable.

I want J. gone. [laughs, mumbles]

AUSTIN: She took my sandwich, so I don't mind her going.

DREW: If we can keep the Rebas,

especially one who has nowhere else to go, that helps us

in the long run. It's numbers. Okay.

-I feel like we shouldn't split. -No, I don't think so.

I think we go in there, and we vote % on Kaleb.

AUSTIN: I absolutely want J. out.

She prevented me from getting a sandwich,

and ever since then, I've had it out for her.

But getting rid of J., we are kind of sacrificing a number.

I got all your backs.

AUSTIN: I think what makes sense most

is to get rid of Kaleb.

Yeah.

AUSTIN: We need the blindside of Kaleb, and the more votes

that are going to him, the easier it is for me

to sacrifice my vote again to upgrade my idol.

Uh, so we're kind of thinking Kaleb.

DEE: Are we splitting it?

AUSTIN: No. So we have to all vote Kaleb.

EMILY: The moment I heard

that all the votes are basically switching to Kaleb,

my heart sunk.

I don't want to send out Kaleb.

That is me

sacrificing a significant portion of my game,

because moving forward,

I've lost what is effectively my number one ally.

AUSTIN: I do feel like there's enough momentum

-behind it at this point. -DEE: Yeah. Yeah, I do, too.

EMILY: I'm between a rock and a hard place.

I need to keep up my relationships

with the old Reba tribe.

So if I fight too hard, then they see me

as showing my true alliances to Kaleb as opposed to them.

It is exactly the way Survivorworks.

Kaleb has saved my butt in the past, so, I just...

I need him here. I need him here,

and I need to convince people that they need him here, too.

But it might be out of my control, when voting against

what the majority is doing puts a target on my back

even more so than I already have.

-AUSTIN: Yeah? -Shot in the Dark,

actually, I didn't think about.

We just have to convince him that it's not him.

Yeah, just reiterate like, it's okay. Yeah.

-J. MAYA: Yeah. Yeah. -AUSTIN: Cool.

Pretty, pretty strongly against you.

Like, Shot-in-the-Dark level against you.

I want you to have the chance to try to save yourself somehow.

-So what about Bruce? -Bruce is voting for you, %.

-He doesn't like you at all. Sorry. -Yeah.

I came out here to play a strategic game.

I was gonna try and lower my threat level.

And they're coming after me. Of course they're coming after me.

And I'm doing everything I can to stop it.

JAKE: Yeah.

-JAKE: Okay. -Yeah, yeah.

Bruce does have an idol.

-You're kidding. -Yeah, he has it.

KALEB: So what do I do?

"Guess what? Bruce has an idol,

"and I'm not working with him.

"I'm not working with any of Belo.

I want to work with you guys."

And I'm trying to rally Rebas to get rid of J.

-Will you guys do this with me? -Yeah. -[overlapping chatter]

And I swear to you guys, I'm ten toes down at this.

-This is exciting! -KALEB: Okay.

What we had back at that Lulu beach-- it's done.

You go with the masses.

We have to vote for Kaleb.

Is there anything else you feel like

would really work with these people?

Selling myself and selling my case

is not something I'm unfamiliar with in sales.

However,

people can sense desperation,

and I am bleeding at this point with it.

I feel like I'm about to throw up.

[babbles]

KALEB: My life is completely on the line.

We'll see what happens.

Gonna be okay.

KALEB: I have to hope that the numbers go my way.

I need a group to work with.

You can't run through this game by yourself

like a vigilante. That's--

I'm not Batman, you know. I'm Kaleb.

I'm-I'm the Canadian. [laughs]

♪ ♪

If this is your first time at Tribal Council,

grab a torch that does not have fire,

dip it in and get fire.

♪ ♪

This is part of the ritual of Tribal Council, because,

in this game, fire does represent your life.

And it is crazy to be saying that on day .

So let's talk about it.

Drew, let's go back to yesterday.

people together for the first time.

What goes down? Is there a lot of sharing of stories?

Sharing of any and all kind, Jeff.

It's too much sharing for my taste.

I mean, I felt like the nerd

who accidentally walked into the frat party.

Like, everyone is so extroverted.

Everyone's so outgoing.

But you have to straddle a line, because

am I still, you know, Belo? Am I still Reba?

Am I still Lulu? It's not quite clear.

And so, that uncertainty is a big thing to chew off.

PROBST: Emily, what about first impressions?

Now, I'm thinking specifically of you and Bruce

on the first day.

-Anything change? -EMILY: Oh, yeah. No,

we had an opportunity to talk about it.

-I think we squashed any beef. -Amen.

Uh, we'll see if he writes my name down tonight.

[laughing]

J., is it hard to separate,

"Oh, my gosh, I want to get to know these people,"

versus, "Oh, my gosh, I need

to get to know these people in a certain way"?

A hundred percent. I mean, yesterday was overwhelming.

I've been with Reba members, essentially, from the beginning

of this game, and then suddenly, you have to decide

quickly who you vibe with,

who you read well, and then you have

a ton of time, and then suddenly,

you have no time at all.

Sifu, did you find that same thing-- that you were

quickly running out of time and starting to scramble?

Yeah, I don't know who coined it,

but we had office hours today,

where we're checking in. You might be

: to :, you might be : to :.

KENDRA: Oh, yeah.

I had to close my office hours

because you have voices.

I have my own voices in my head.

They're like, "We're having a party over here."

JULIE: However,

-there were a lot of non-office hours. -Mm-hmm.

-"So, hey." -People knocking. -I'm...

KATURAH: I want overtime. I want overtime.

-Yeah. -EMILY: Can I build off of that?

Because I don't feel like

that paints the full picture, right?

The six of us have been sitting there

for a couple hours at this point, thinking,

"What can we do to save our tushies?"

Katurah, where's your empathy for the six

who are desperate to join you in the next phase of the game?

I mean, it's inevitable

that all of our names will be written down,

and I cannot think about that moment

without my heart dropping.

Even the concept of someone saying,

"Let me write Katurah's name down."

The other day, Sifu asked me how to spell my name,

and I was like, "Wh-Wh-Wh-Why?

You don't need to know about how to spell my name."

You know what I mean? He was joking.

But, like, that's where we are.

And I got lucky today.

-Yes. -It very well could be me sitting right over there,

and I will not act like that's not a possibility.

PROBST: So, Kaleb, let's get down to it now.

There are only six possibilities tonight.

What was your thought process of how you want to approach it?

I'm an optimist,

so I do want to work with people.

However, when your name gets thrown out enough times,

then you start to think, "How can I just be safe?

"Like, who do I need to talk to be able

"to make clear that I might be a big threat here,

but I'm not the biggest strategic threat here,"

and I think that's the big difference.

So you heard your name today?

It's like, wouldn't be Tribal Council

if I didn't hear my name at this point.

-Oh. -I get it every single time. I don't know what to do.

It's, like, when you reach that kind

of low, you just get this happiness

for every day that you do get, every person

that you do get to connect with, right? And so,

this Lulu curse has not lifted off of Emily and I,

but knowing that we gave our best effort--

that's where you can be at peace.

PROBST: Emily, is it really a Lulu curse, or is it just

the way it went, or am I wrong, and you feel like...

Are you sure about that? Because I think the numbers

are saying something else, Jeff.

-No, really, I mean... -Let's go with that for a minute.

EMILY: Yeah. You know, whether or not

it's a curse, I don't know. But now, on the flip side, look,

seven of us are wearing orange Buffs right now.

The tribe dynamics are no longer relevant in this scenario.

It's becoming an individual game.

And, um, if there's a Lulu curse, it ends tonight.

PROBST: J., was there a point today

where you shifted from, "Hey, what are we trying to do?" to

"I just got to make sure it is not J.

that gets written down tonight"?

J. MAYA: I think you have to kind of go with the people

that you know you've built connections with,

because, you know, tomorrow, you might still be here,

but you've burned those bridges in the process

of trying to get to the next day.

And then, you know, where are you left?

Kaleb?

KALEB: As one final thing I'll say,

you know, 'cause it might come down to just a few votes.

Like, I might be the biggest threat here,

but I still don't think I'm the biggest strategic threat

to everybody here.

-Who comes to mind? -Yeah.

I think it makes sense for everybody here to write down J.

That's very interesting, Kaleb.

Um, well, I'm curious what you mean

-by, you're the biggest threat. -Ooh.

KALEB: I think that

a lot of people have talked about me

as a physical threat and a social threat,

but I think that the most dangerous thing is

the fact that there's a block of three Reba women

who've been together for days.

And I think for Dee and for Julie,

there's an opportunity, if you guys let go of J.,

that it lowers your guys' threat level a lot.

J. MAYA: Lowers the women of Reba--

their threat level?

-Yes. -Okay.

-That's interesting. -And then, in addition

to everybody else, if we're moving into a tribe of ,

that's three votes that they would already have,

and anybody can go home, and then,

you really lost a lot of power in the game, right?

You want to mention some other threats while you're at it?

I'm comfortable with what I said.

I mean, do you guys see what he's doing right now

before we're about to cast votes?

I mean, he's a self-admitted biggest threat in this game.

Like, no one else said that. He said that right now.

Not strategically. I'm by myself.

If I go into the next round,

literally, who... what do I have?

I can't do anything

to change the course of this game right now.

DEE: So how would we trust you

if you're saying you're by yourself,

and you're trying to find a home? Who's the home?

-KALEB: Yeah. -DEE: Nobody knows. And of course,

I feel strongly about it because I heard my name,

and I'm Cuban, so I got to push and fight.

But do I want to work with you now that you threw my name out

in Tribal Council? I understand and respect it.

I did hear that you were throwing my name out first.

-I respect... -That you were planning on voting for me.

-So, to be fair. -Okay.

J. MAYA: I just want to remind everyone

that this is now an individual game,

and this is a player that was

losing and losing and losing and is still sitting here.

If you don't think that he will be a threat to your game,

that is so... I just... I can't imagine that, and...

KALEB: To be fair,

yes, I said J.'s name. I have to say someone's name, right?

DREW: I mean, Jeff, you know,

we all love the game,

and there's been some big swings here,

and I think I and everyone else am excited to see

if they were home runs or strikeouts.

KENDRA: Ooh, that's a good one.

-Hit it. -Damn.

-There he is. -Drew.

PROBST: On that note, it is

time to vote. Jake, you're up.

Thanks, Jeff.

Whew.

[clears throat]

J.!

[laughing]

Kaleb. [laughs]

Ooh, yeah, that was a wild Tribal,

but I'm not gonna vote

'cause... um...

Instead of voting, I'm gonna be sacrificing it

in order to extend this to a fully-fledged idol.

I'll go tally the votes.

If anybody has an advantage

or an idol and you want to play it,

now would be the time to do so.

All right, Jeff.

I do have one last thing I'm gonna try.

It's my last punch.

-Bring it up to me. -Yeah.

-Thank you. -I'm gonna buy a lotto ticket if this works.

So, fingers crossed.

Kaleb played his Shot in the Dark, which means

there is not a vote in here from Kaleb.

Has a one-in-six shot at safety in the game.

Kaleb, if this says you are safe,

any votes cast against you will not count.

If it says you are not safe,

any votes cast against you will count.

I'll open the scroll.

Kaleb, you are...

-No way! -Oh! -Whoa!

Oh.

Wow.

So, Kaleb is safe.

Any votes cast against him

PROBST: I'll read the votes.

KENDRA: Aah!

Kaleb. Does not count.

Kaleb. Does not count.

Kaleb. Does not count.

KALEB: Oh, man.

That's crazy.

One vote left.

Kaleb.

-Does not count. -[gasping]

Oh, my God.

So, all the votes were for Kaleb.

Kaleb is safe.

So we're going to revote.

Here's how it will work.

Kaleb, you won't vote because you played the Shot in the Dark.

You can't vote. And just to remind you,

you can't play a Shot in the Dark on a revote.

There will be no more Shot in the Darks played.

Do you need to take a moment?

-J. MAYA: Yeah, we need a moment, please. -Yes. Yes.

-Oh, that's crazy. -Yeah, appreciate it.

Oh, man.

Finally, for once,

this game goes in my direction.

[laughing]

PROBST: All right, time to revote.

Jake, if you would, come grab the urn.

Oh, I'm a little honored.

I couldn't be more thrilled that Kaleb's Shot in the Dark worked.

You've been throwing my name out.

I just hope this vote sticks.

Oh, my God.

Crazy, this is crazy, this is crazy.

No words.

Really is you or me.

I'll read the votes.

First vote: J.

Emily.

One vote J, one vote Emily.

J. Two votes J., one vote Emily.

J. Three votes, J.

J. Four votes, J.

J. That's five votes, J.

Sixth person voted out ofSurvivor: J.

That's six. That's enough.

-Need to bring me your torch. -Okay.

EMILY: Good job, J.

-Miss you guys, seriously. -Bye, J.

-Good luck. -KENDRA: Love you, J. -Bye.

[sighs] I'm grateful I got to play, Jeff.

Glad you were here. J., the tribe has spoken.

Oh, my God.

PROBST: Time for you to go.

Peace.

Congratulations. You are merged.

-KELLIE: I forgot what clean smells like. -KENDRA: Yes.

KENDRA: Survivor, baby.

-No way. -Yeah. -Let's go.

Grab your torches, head back to camp.

JAKE: I see the Reba-Belo w*r coming.

I need to take control of the game.

PROBST: Next time onSurvivor...

Two people will be going home.

Oh. What?

This is a do-or-die moment.

That is it.

KELLIE: All your cards on the table.

KELLIE: All the marbles are in.

Boy, bye. [laughs]

It was a unanimous vote for Kaleb.

He got saved through a Shot in the Dark.

I guess I was the collateral damage on the revote.

However upsetting it is, it is pretty freaking wild.

This was the greatest adventure of my entire life.

There are no regrets here, and now it's just smiles.

So I'm just happy that I got

to come out here and play a great friggin' game.
