DREW: I am one of the smartest people you've ever had on Survivor.

I say it factually.
But the show is very different than the Ivy League.
There's a level of sophistication

KATURAH: I studied this game
and I already know that if you come off
really intelligent or strategic,
you're getting voted out early.
And so I can't tell that I'm a lawyer,
I can't tell that I'm strategic,
until I can, like, show my true colors

happy to have the experience.
I don't really care. I'm a goal-driven person.

PROBST: Wow.
All right, so let's get into this.
We've been doing this for 23 years.
And certainly, over the years, there have been
new advantages and twists and themes.
But at its core, Survivor is essentially
the same game it was in season one.
A group of strangers are forced to rely on each other,
while voting each other out.
And in the end, the people who were voted out
get the final say, 'cause they decide who wins the game.
Guy right here with the long hair, what's your name?
-Brandon. -PROBST: Brandon.
Lot of emotion when you were getting up here.
(crying)
Yeah, a lot of it. Yeah.
Some... Too much.
Some would say too much. Yeah.
(whooping)
PROBST: Okay, is that emotion
or is it just energy that's just trying to get out?
It's emotion, baby.
This is my dream since I was 11,
to be on this boat with you, right here.
I am beside myself that I'm here right now,
and I'm with my new family.
What's better than this, man?
This is the best.
Okay, well, there's one face here
that should be familiar to everybody.
-(laughter) -Bruce is back.
(cheering)
Back, back, back, back.
-What's up, baby? -(laughter)
Bruce was here in Survivor 44,
at this exact same moment in the show,
the opening challenge.
Suffered a very serious injury.
Everybody, stop!
Had to be evacuated 12 hours later. So, first of all,
so happy that you are back and healthy.
You come into this game now in a different vantage point,
because people already have an impression of you.
What's the advantage for you
of coming in with everybody knowing that about you?
BRUCE: There are gonna be questions. People are gonna be,
"Oh, Bruce had an advantage. Bruce was already here.
"Bruce, you know, he already had his shot."
And I really didn't.
What I have for an advantage on all of you guys
is essentially done.
We are all on the same beach.
If there's anything I can ever say is whenever you look at me,
I want you to do one thing and one thing only.
Just know that your dream is a frigging reality,
and this is awesome.
-It's absolutely awesome. -(laughter)
Yeah.
Jeff, I'll push back against Bruce a little bit.
You know, I think it's really in his advantage to come out here
and say, "Look, I'm just like you. I'm like everyone."
But we've all been looking at him. We recognize his face.
He's had the experience leading up to this.
He is in some way more mentally prepared-- even if he hasn't
physically experienced it-- than we are right now.
And, Bruce, you were prepared for that answer?
Oh, of course.
The thing is is that
if there's anything that we need to really, really narrow down
is that any advantage that you bring to the game is you.
And if you can utilize that, utilize it.
If not, it's gonna eat you up...
But-but you see this? He's already talking with authority.
He's already giving us instruction.
And then coming out here and saying,
"Well, I don't have an advantage."
So it's a little contradictory.
Wow. I love it.

-Hey, I do, too. -KELLIE: Me, too.
All right, let's get into it. Let's start with tribe names.
Wearing red, you are Reba.

I'm just watching.
Reba!

In yellow, you are Lulu.
-(cheering, whooping) -Lulu!
And wearing blue, Belo.
-Belo! -(cheering)
(whoops)
All right. You are in the first stage
of this game, the tribe stage,
where you don't know each other
and yet you're about to compete against
two other groups who also don't know each other.
So your first challenge is designed to test who should be
in what role, who works together the best.
That's who's gonna win this challenge. Let's get into it.
For today's challenge, two players from each tribe
will race to empty a massive crate
filled with very heavy rope and sandbags.
You'll retrieve a key.
Then the next pair will leap off of this barge...
...swim out to a boat, where there is another key.
You'll get in the boat and paddle back.
The remaining pair will take those two keys
and use them to unlock two pols that you will then use
to try to retrieve your flint.
The first tribe to get their hands
on their flint earns their camp supplies.
Not much-- pot, machete and the flint.
That's it. The losing tribes
will have to try to earn it another way.
All right, so take a moment and figure out your three pairs.
Who's gonna run which leg?

I went back to school when I was 40 years old.
But as far as my teammates,
I feel like they don't need to know I'm an attorney.
Who wants to give a million dollars to an attorney?
My name is Drew, Drew Basile.
I am from Metro Detroit.
I'm 22, college student, last semester, and...
I think that's it. I think that's everything to say.
My name is Drew Basile,

There is Drew.
Drew is kind of moody and introspective.
He writes poetry.
J. MAYA: I didn't really, like, get along with other kids growing up.

I want to-I want to just give one tidbit of advice.
-Remember, I've made it this far. -Oh, boy. Okay.
Biggest waste of time is weaving palm fronds.
-Oh, okay. -Really?
Great.
First thing that Bruce says is,
"I'm not the dad of the tribe.
I'm the fun uncle."

He still is giving advice.

Before we get into, you know, all of this,
I just want to say, I don't know when the other members
of our tribe are gonna get back,
but to me, it's, like, way more suspicious.
Both of them volunteered. Nobody else raised their hand.
They're saying, "I can do Savvy,"
but if anybody comes back without anything...
-Makes you wonder. Yeah, so... -Yeah.
-No, that's a good point. -(groans)

for the Sweat and Savvy challenge,
-I wasn't overly happy with it. -Okay.
Oh, I'm just like, "Oh, they're gonna go, like,
-work their asses off for a flint and machete." -Right.
-"This is so great for us." -And they may.
As somebody who proclaims themselves
to be a little bit of a pessimist,
anytime we're sending anybody off
to do anything by themselves,
it makes me very, very nervous.
Let's have fun. Let's have fun.
-Yeah, let's explore. Let's see our camp. -Okay.
EMILY: You always have to assume that there's
some other type of gameplay element
that's going to become involve.
Um, and in this case, we knew
that our flint and our machete was on the line,
so I have nothing but suspicion now.
I was literally just gonna say that.

I wanted this for so long, and I'm the guy who,

Bad. No, I feel fine.
Everybody welcomed me
with open arms, but
I'm very shaken up about my future challenge performance.
Uh, what's the last thing you remember?
-I don't remember getting onto the boat. -Okay.
I remember just being on the land.
My biggest fear is that I'm gonna
have to be on the ground after each challenge.
-It was, like, a panic attack. -Oh, it was definitely panic... Yeah.
Everything here is so anxiety-ridden for me.
I really want to, like, know everything about you all,
-but should we do shelter stuff? -OTHERS: Yeah.
-HANNAH: Because I don't know what to do. (laughs) -Yes. Yes.
Who is a shelter person?
SEAN: It's so exciting to be here.
And then reality sets in, and I'm thinking,
"Oh, where are we gonna build our shelter?
Where are our shelter supplies?"
I'm trying to think of anything useful
that we can do without-without a machete.
-I'm gonna sit on this bench for a second. -HANNAH: Yeah.
SEAN: Brandon is essentially out for the count,
and Hannah was like, "I'll sweep the ground."
And I'm like, "Girl, let's do that later."

Kaleb and Sabiyah are not back yet.
I hope they come back soon and come back
with the materials that we need.

This is Sweat and Savvy.
It's a competition, at that.
You got one hour to move 40 los

And at least one tribe is leaving with nothing.
I'm winning.

These logs are big. This is the real deal.
Oh, yeah.
And this is a race.
This isn't "take your time."
This is "haul ass."
BRANDO: In the new era of Survivor,
we've had Sweat versus Savvy four times.
There has never been a tribe that failed Sweat versus Savvy.
And so it could be the nail in the coffin
for somebody who isn't able
to get what they need for their tribe.
SABIYAH: I am scared, and at this point,
the whole team's on our shoulders.

Lord, help me.

Hey.
This is not an easy challenge.

So I just start talking to myself.
I felt my dad just saying, "You got more."
I hear you, Dad.
Way to go. Mad respect.
I'm gonna give you everything I got right here.
KALEB: Sabiyah--
I'm honestly, like, so impressed with her.
Like, she was talking me up.
Make me chase you.
We need to win.
KALEB: We're winning this thing.
BRANDO: I can easily say
that that is the hardest thing
that I've ever had to do in my life. I felt like
there were at least four opportunities
where I was on the verge of passing out.
(exhales heavily)
JAKE: Yeah.
But there's sort of this unspoken agreement
when you've got the buff dude and you've got the scrawny guy,
that he might carry us through Sweat,
and I might carry us through Savvy.
Let's go.
JAKE: They get to the puzzle first,
but we're close, so I'm not
really worried about that.
I'm looking over at Sabiyah and Kaleb.
They're not getting anywhere with it.
Dude, we got this. We got this.
This is what I think it is.
So when we get to the Savvy portion,
there's, like, this crazy, intricate
sculpture-looking thing, where we've got the flint tied aroun,
and we've got to get it unlooped all the way off.
And so there's some sort of trick
to this challenge that-- I'm gonna be honest--
I don't think I know how to do it.
That did not work.
JAKE: He's some wicked smart, like,
computer engineering kid and I'm a lawyer.
We're supposed to be the savvy people here. Apparently not.
BRANDO: Oh, my God.
At this point, the panic starts to set in.
The clock is running down,
and we can see it on each other's faces,
like, we're in trouble.
This is crazy.
We got, like, 20 seconds.
KATURAH: Damn.
This coconut is hitting. I'm not even gonna lie.
Like, I was like, "I'll take a bite."
-I was, I... You were right. -Ain't that what she said?
KATURAH: We're, like, anxiously waiting for Brando and Jake to get bac.
And we don't have a machete.
So we're just kind of improvising.
(whistles)
-Are they back? -Oh. Oh.
Nobody got it.
No one got it.
-KATURAH: Oh, my God. -Thinking about you
-this entire time. -How-- What happened?
JAKE: So when we get back, we have to
break the news to the tribe that,
for the first time in the new era, we lost
Sweat versus Savvy. We don't have a pot.
We don't have a machete.
We don't have flint.
That puts us out of luck on a lot of things
moving forward right now.
But the good thing is, too,
they don't have anything either.
-BRANDO: Yeah. Yeah. -KATURAH: Okay.
Please, tell me you did it.
We didn't get it.
Yeah. Both of us failed the challenge.
BRANDON: Yeah.
EMILY: Kaleb and Sabiyah have
no machete for us,
and, oh, my anger was palpable.
-Let's all sit down, and... -Okay, let's sit. Let's sit. Let's chat.
In my mind, they
took an advantage as opposed to helping the tribe out.
We had these logs.
We finished that part first, so we beat them...
-And you didn't get anything for beating them? -SABIYAH: No.
EMILY: They're insistent that nothing nefarious happened.
"We just weren't able to complete the challenge."
That's BS.
-(whispering): Emily. -(whispering): Yes.
-She was... I-I like her... -Yeah.
-She, when we got here, she was very just... -Yeah.
-I know that she's very skeptical about things. -Mm.
-She's like, "What if they don't come back with anything?" -Mm.
"Do you think that means they got an advantage?"
Mm.
I want to just do this quick, and then lay down.
-I know. -I-I'm just in, like,
-a lay-down mood, you know? -Same.
Which is, like, again, not what we can do or should do.
-I know. I hit a wall. -Or will do.
I hit a wall.
I hit a... What's that?
-All I want to do is, like, lay down in the shelter. -Yeah.
But we don't have one!
The moment that I realize we don't have flint, machete, pot,
it's hard to not be emotional.
I think I'm just, like, stressed about sleep.
-I am so upset with all of today's events... -(laughs)
but I'm having so much fun.
-Like, this is... -Okay, I need to remember that.
-Yeah. -Like, even though my feet are really wet in my s...
-They're so wet. Oh, my God. -(laughs)
-I feel disgusting. I know. -I'm, like, so upset about my wet feet.
-I know. -HANNAH: There's dirt
and bugs and sweat everywhere. And I'm
so hangry it's unreal.
-Hard. It's really hard. -It's really hard.
-It's literally day one. -Yeah.
And this is the hardest thing I've ever done so far.
-And I've done hard things. -Yeah.
Listen, I'm gonna cry with you.
Hannah's having this meltdown,
I had a meltdown a couple hours earlier,
and this is day one.
-We weren't supposed to get this ... machete. -I know.
That's what happened. We got to deal with it, you know?
Day one is hard.
You watch this at home, you see people crying,
and you're like, "Oh, my God, it's day one."
I-- Tell-- Go out and do this. Come do this.
I had no idea how hard it is, and I am
as big of a fan as they come.
I really wanted to give up earlier, you know,
and I didn't because we got to see this-this through.
-We're good. -This is temporary.
-Temporary. -We can do hard things.
We can do hard things.
I know what it's like to be anxious.
And I feel better, as an anxious person,
being able to comfort somebody else.
-We're good. -You're very grounding.
If I can make somebody else feel better, good.
-It definitely made me feel better. -Yeah. We're good.
I think suffering bonds folks together.
HANNAH: Oh, you know why I'm crying?
It's probably the nicotine withdrawal.
BRANDON: Right now, we are all
hungry. We're all tired.
Oh! I can do hard things.
BRANDON: But we're all gonna figure out this thing together,
because that's the only shot we have of succeeding at this.
-EMILY: Oh, my gosh. -SEAN: Wow.
-Look at you. -(chanting): Hard thing,
hard thing,
Hannah and I are doing a hard thing.

KENDRA: I feel like I've connected
with you guys the most.
-Me too, yeah. -KENDRA: Like, I want to go
to the final three with, like,
-people who I would feel good about winning. -KELLIE: Yeah.
-KENDRA: I want to win. -We could all support each other.
-And then, may the best one win. -Yeah.
KENDRA: In the last few season, women have gone first,
and, like, I'm trying to change the status quo there.
And all three women here are all September birthdays.
This is, like, written in the stars
for us to, like, be in this alliance together.
People that I respect and, like...
Jake? Yeah.
No?
KATURAH: Kendra says Jake
'cause he's a lawyer!
This is why I told my tribe
I'm an office manager at a nonprofit.
I don't want people to know I'm a lawyer because
I know it's gonna put a target on my back.
People are gonna be like, "Damn, you're a lawyer?
"How'd that happen?
You're really strategic. You're really smart."
Hell, no. I'm not letting them know I'm a lawyer.
So what's it like being a lawyer?
Scary.
-Is it? -Yeah.
KATURAH: Nothing better
to sell my lie
that I'm not a lawyer
than putting all the attention on another lawyer,
and Jake's a baby lawyer. You just passed the bar?
You're excited to tell people you're a lawyer.
I-I'm a public defender, so, like...
The ADAs are, like, the state,
-so, like, they're like, "You've been charged with this..." -Oh.
-District attorney. Okay. Okay. -Yeah, district attorney.
Yeah, assistant district attorneys.
-So... -Oh, assistant district attorney.
-Yeah. -KATURAH: I don't really get
super strategic, threatening vibes from Jake,
but if you want to come in and say you're a lawyer,
this is the consequence. Like,
I knew better than to say it, Jake.
Should've-- You should have known better.
-This is cool to know. Like... -It's like...
-I'm not around lawyers that much. -Yeah.
Oh, I'm sor... Oh, don't let me.
-Yeah, don't let me... I'm sorry. -Y'all be careful.
Make, like, a little hut type thing.
I'm in workhorse mode. We have, barely, a shelter.
You know, we're working on it today, but
all of the structural ideas have been mine.
It's not much 'cause you don't have a machete.
-But, I mean, that's something. -Yeah, this is hard,
-but I'm just... This is hard. -However, it's something.
SABIYAH: We can't chop palm fronds down from the tree.
You know, we can't cut bamboo.
But I feel like everybody is
really making an effort.
Whoa. Sorry, sorry, sorry.
-We can do hard things. -That's right.
SABIYAH: Everybody has a good attitude.
Wait.
SABIYAH: Um, everybody, except for Emil.
We're just trying something out.
Emily is a glass-half-empty
kind of person.
It's smaller. It's not level.
Right. That's part of why I like it.
EMILY: It's not that I don't want to.
I want to just be thoughtful about it.
KALEB: Emily has a lot of pessimism. She's not the person
who's like, "This is how we're gonna do this and fix this."
She's like, "Well, this is why we can't do this
and can't do that," without bringing a single idea.
HANNAH: I can't be around,
-like, negativity. -Yeah. Yeah.
I feel like our tribe would be stronger
-and more cohesive without her. -Yeah. Yeah.
That sounds bad, but it's just really
just because she is so negative.
-It's looking like a camp. -It's looking like a camp.
-Yeah. Love it. -Yeah, right?
EMILY: They're patting themselves on the back
for the world's worst Survivor shelter.
And I know that I have this personality
that is so different than the people
that I'm around, and I can't even
pretend to be, you know, the same as them.
-SABIYAH: Aliens. -Aliens. -HANNAH: Aliens.
-KALEB: We're all on the same page? -SABIYAH: Yes.
There's, like, a theory that they were batteries
'cause, like, the chambers make more sense for, like,
-energy harvesting... -HANNAH: What?
than... tombs.
HANNAH (laughing): Yeah.
EMILY: "Oh, my God. The pyramids--
they're giant batteries."
I can't.
There were no mummies in there.
EMILY: I feel like I've been isolated with crazy people.
-What do you think? -Um, I have genuinely
never given any thought
to the pyramids before this exact moment.
I don't know what to say to these people.
I'm not this person
that jives with the mood of the tribe.
And I'm an easy person to say, "Well, you know,
"Emily's kind of hard to get along with right now.
-Let's just vote her out." -SABIYAH: Exactly!
-the biggest cover-up ever. I just -Yeah, yeah.
don't know what they're trying to cover up.
Coming into this game, I'm willing
to make my Survivor experience like it's my second time.
I'm looking for idols, baby.
I'm looking for advantages
every chance I get, and I think they don't notice that,
and that is a part of my strategy.
-Anyone know what Sifu's up to? -J. MAYA: I don't.
Yeah.
DREW: Do you want to come and see what's going on?
SIFU: I'm giving this game everything
because I want to play fearlessly.
I'm willing to put it all on the line.
-My... -AUSTIN: Oh, oh.
I forget I'm carrying, like, a bamboo.
SIFU: I'm going stealth mode. I'm going
like Tony Vlachos times five.
I feel like he's playing a Tony game
'cause, like, he's, like, everywhere.
He has if not more than one
advantage or idol.
-I would agree with that. -Because of all the times
he's been by himself.
Oh, my God. What are you doing?
DEE: Oh! (laughs)
-He was spying on us. -(Sifu laughs)
-This is your shack. -No, no.
I'm like, "There's no freaking way."
Like, we just look, and he's right there just...
-I was messing with you guys. -Wow. It's a great spot.
Oh, yeah. Do you think...
How about you? So, you're going to get water.
Back home, my mom says I'm a little fireball,
and if this was the real world, I would not hold back, but
if he's going around spying on us like that
so early on in the game, he can't be trusted.
If only I was really spying on you.
(laughing)
That's a...
AUSTIN: I think right now, the only person
who has at least been caught searching is Sifu.
But, I mean, whenever I'm doing anything,
I've always got my eyes looking in trees,
looking on the ground, seeing anything
that could point me to any sort of advantage
or clue.
I'm just like, "No flipping way." Like,
I didn't even look at it.
I was like, "Oh, my gosh, is this an idol?
Is this a clue? What is this?"
(sputters)
"If you take it, it's yours, and you must do what it says."
So I thought about it for, like, three seconds.
Then I was like, "Screw it. Let's do this."
Playing too safe--
that is so lame.
I mean, like, if I left it there,
Sifu is gonna open it and get it.
I like tasks.
This sounds good.
"Until you've taken possession of the idol,
"you cannot vote at Tribal Council.
That's why it says 'Beware.' Your first task..."
Oh, my goodness.
My first... A series of tasks? My first task?
And inside of it
is this. And immediately, I know.
On our tribe flag, we have a bunch of random symbols.
Getting this idol is gonna be pretty difficult.
And if there's one thing I've learned about being on Survivor,
is it's gonna be even
more difficult than I expected.
So I'm really hoping
we can win immunity
so I don't have to worry about not having a vote.

Come on in.
All right, are you ready to get to your first
-immunity challenge? -(all voicing assent)
-(cheering and whooping) -We are ready! -Go, baby.
(whooping)
Let's get into it.
On my go, one player at a time will race up and over a ramp
into a mud pit.
Then the next person goes.
Once everybody's through, you'll drag a very heavy bag
of coconuts to a net basket
where two players will race to shoot their coconuts
into the basket until it's heay enough to release a set of key.
You'll then work together to get everybody
to the top of a very tall tower
where two different players will use those keys
to unlock and then solve a massive Survivor puzzle.
First two tribes to finish win immunity.
This is what you covet in the game.
(cheering, whooping, exclaiming)
I like it.
Two pieces... for two tribes.
You have this at your camp, it means you are not going home.
Losers, Tribal Council
where somebody will be the first person
voted out of Survivor 45, and as a penalty
for losing, I will take your flint.
Now, in the case of Belo and Lulu,
because you failed in your second attempt
at earning your camp supplies, you still don't have them.
They'll be waiting for you back at camp after this challenge.
But if either of you lose,
I'll still be taking that flint as penalty.
All right, give you a minute to strategize. Get it on.

I will take your flint. All right.
Let's head back to camp. See you tonight at Tribal Council.
BRANDON: I wasn't contributing
really much of anything in this challenge,
and I know that people have to think that.
And what I'm having this struggle with is
that I'm gonna vote for somebody
who performed better than me in this challenge,
and I feel bad.
All right.
You guys down to maybe just, like, hit the water first
before we do any, like, real strategizing?
-Oh, 100%. Yeah. -Yeah. -SEAN: Yup.
HANNAH: I hate to admit this, but the moment that we lost,
I felt relief because I was like,
"Maybe they'll vote me out and I can go home."
Now we have a machete and a pot--
like, it's a completely different game.
-That's true. -BRANDON: I agree.
HANNAH: And then we got into the water to wash off,
and it was really nice, and for a second,
I forgot about how hungry and kind of miserable I am.
And so, it's just like this constant
back and forth, and, like,
it's exhausting in a way I've never experienced.
Someone from our tribe has to go anyway.
Every single person except me really wants to be here.
But, like, everyone wants Emily out.
My concern is, like, how can I get them to write my name?
I want to sleep in a bed tonight.
Maybe I like my comfort, and that's okay.
-You're-you're... -I want nicotine and I want food.
I know, but you're fine. You are good.
-You want to be here. -Ugh!
Ugh. Do I have to?
-I don't want to. -You have to. You literally have to.
Okay, fine.
BRANDON: Hannah is going on this diatribe.
She wants to quit 'cause she's hungry, but I dont
necessarily want to be here without Hannah.
I'm gonna cry. Um...
I've felt a zero for a while now.
It's heartburn, it's reflux, it's...
A lot of it could be stress-induced,
but it just is uncomfortable. You know,
-it's just... Geez.
BRANDON: Last night,
I woke up with the worst chest pain
I've ever felt in my life right around
the here area, and it didn't go away.
I have reflux.
I take medication for reflux at home.
But just being in literal physical pain--
it is genuinely one of the worst feelings
I've ever had in my life.
I-I would love to do this without...
Like, it ... hurts, dude. It hurts.
-It's still there? -Yeah.
-What's going on? -Just in a lot of pain.
Like, a lot of physical pain.
And I don't want to, like, look weak or whatever.
-I'm just ... in so much pain. -Oh. What happened to you?
-KALEB: It's still your chest? -Yeah. ...
My chest for, like, 20 hours. Like, can't ... focus, man.
So, what are you saying?
I'm playing my Shot in the Dark tonight.
Why?
Because I feel like I'm a liability, I'm gonna
continue to be a liability.
Why? We already know what's going on.
Emily's who we were assuming we were gonna vote for,
but Brandon--
he straight-up told me and Kaleb,
"I'm playing my Shot in the Dark today."
-This is just... I don't know what this is, and I... -SABIYAH: Anxiety?
You know, he deals with panic attacks and stuff like that,
which I empathize with, but it's just
getting to the point where it's like,
can Brandon do it?
He's so down on himself.
SABIYAH: Yeah.
Well, it means that he could be Plan A and Emily be plan B?
Yeah.
That's a solidified alliance, right?
But I-I'm concerned. They're obviously very close.
It's kind of my perspective that the two of them have been
so strong for so long,
haven't given a ... about running off together,
and they will systematically pick us off one by one.
The only chance we have is breaking apart
that really strong duo because every single day that passes,
they get stronger and stronger and stronger.
-HANNAH: Yeah. -Yeah.
EMILY: Tonight's vote is about survival
'cause I feel like my days here are limited.
And the relationship that Sabiyah and Kaleb have built
is a massive liability to my game.
So, I need to break up that du.
We would not have even
gotten halfway through today's challenge
if it hadn't been for Kaleb.
But this is me trying to think three steps ahead.
And I think Sabiyah without Kaleb by her side
will be much less of a threat to my game, long-term.
-The three of us write Kaleb's name down? -100%.
-EMILY: We have to do it. -And then we just roll down
-until we merge. -Exactly.
It's clear to me that if I dont play this vote right tonight,
then my game is kaput.
So I'm willing
to risk it for the biscuit in this scenario.
Um, don't-don't look too conspicuous.
Emily thinks we're... She wanted to vote you.
I think she thinks she successfully got me.
Good, man. It's just stressful to hear.
Emily is throwing my name out there.
Her gameplay is just... it's crazy to me.
I'm at the point now
that my trust level for her is less than zero,
but a vote for Brandon is very possible.
He's been so bad in challenges.
That is an easy vote
that I'm still kind of tempted, if I'm not gonna lie.
I said it to Sabiyah.
If everyone wants to do Brandon, we could do Brandon.
But Emily, I feel like, if we take her
-to a swap or a merge, I think she's gonna... -She's bouncing.
She is not loyal.
KALEB: But the most important part
when you're facing a challengig decision is to make a decision.
-So I'm on board either way. -Yeah. -Yeah.
-I'm really either way. -There's pros and cons to each.
So if we want to just go Brandon, I'm on board.
KALEB: We have been the Lulu losers
so far. We haven't won jack,
and so my goal with this vote
is to not only come back stronger for the next challeng,
but to also make sure that I build the strongest coalition
that I take into the next part of the game.
♪ ♪
Behind each of you is a torch.
Go ahead and grab a torch, dip it in and get fire.
This is part of the ritual at Tribal Council because,
in this game, fire represents your life,
and when your fire's gone, so are you.
So before we get into the tribal politics, let's just talk.
Let's have a little jungle talk,
starting with the idea of how
you are as a person when you are
so out of your element.
Sean, have you noticed
anything about yourself
that's different than you would behave back home?
Oh, coming into this game, I was like,
"I'm pretty sure of myself, who I am,
my capacities," and now I'm, like,
this jungle rat sleeping on the floor with palm fronds
carving into my back, and I'm like,
"Who am I?"
(laughing)
-Emily, how about you? -I actually feel like
I'm just a more extreme version of myself.
I feel like this weird, aggressive Emily
that is, um, palpable at camp.
"Weird, aggressive Emily."
-That is what I said. Is that what I said? -Yeah.
-EMILY: That's what I said. -PROBST: Hannah,
can that be healthy to say up front,
-"Here are my liabilities"? -Hundred percent.
But I think sometimes we can lean out of that
instead of embrace it as identity.
Right? Like, the identity that I came in here with
is not at all what I'm experiencing out here.
Like, I am the most emotionally-wrecked
out of anyone here.
I'm crying every other, like, 30 minutes,
and I'm in a constant battle in my head of
where my heart is in this game.
PROBST: Sabiyah, that could be
the siren call of "Just vote her out."
Right, but there's still a lot of politics
to discuss, and if you want to go later,
that might be a better decision. You know what I'm saying?
For us, we need the best possible team, and honestly,
we have to vote you out unless you're gonna quit.
And I doubt Hannah will quit.
Emily, Sabiyah just made a tribe-oriented statement
centered around strength of tribe in the moment.
Yeah. I mean, I think it's easy
for Sabiyah to talk about strength
because it doesn't take a genius to look at this group
of people and pull out the two people
who are the strongest on this tribe,
and they have made no attempt
to hide their alliance in this game.
-Who are we talking about? -Well, Sabiyah and Kaleb.
And it's annoying because you feel shut out
because two people have already
made up their mind about something.
I mean, Sabiyah was like, "Okay, yeah,
"let's get somebody else out 'cause I know that when,
you know, we lose again, Hannah's an easy vote."
And that's literally the thought process.
I mean, Sabiyah literally just said it.
And I'll-I'll stop you there because
I feel like I'm taking kind of a whupping.
But me and Kaleb
have not once begged to be in a strength role.
-Let's just get that straight, all right? -Yeah.
Y'all have slapped us together
since day one, and it hasn't been our decision.
I feel like, because you look at us that way,
you have kind of isolated yourself.
Well, you know, there's obviously one person
who has really struggled the most out of here.
That's how every single conversation has been.
-And whenever... -Talking about me?
No, I-I... Actually. (laughs)
-Oh. -KALEB: Brandon's, actually, by the way,
-for a guy who passed out on day one, -To be... to be...
doing pretty well today, right?
I'd love to talk about it if I get a chance to talk about it.
-I'll love to chat about it. -PROBST: All right, Brandon,
let's talk about you, because
you struggled in the opening moments quite a bit.
Yeah, I made a sizably large first impression, for sure.
But when I got back to the camp, my immediate line was,
"Oh, he's not dead, he's here."
You know, I wanted to alleviate with a joke.
You know, to talk about a strong tribe.
I can't pretend that I'm gonna be able
to lift a thing or swim a far distance.
I'm very good at comforting people, right?
And that's what I can bring to these people
that I'm here with right now,
and I'm gonna see how long that gets me here.
So, Hannah, when you have you on the end saying,
(whistles) "H-A-double-N-A-H,"
and you have Emily saying, "Well, I don't know.
I can't get on with Kaleb and Sabiyah right now,"
and then you have Brandon saying, "I know I had
a bad start, but, hey, I'm really funny..."
So, give me the tribe dynamic here.
HANNAH: I mean, I think it's amazing.
And I just keep thinking I'd love to watch it unfold...
from the comfort of my home.
-(laughter) -I'm not kidding. I'm having a really hard time.
I was thinking about food while they were all talking, and I see
five people who want to be here more than anything,
and I love them, but, like,
everything in my body is like,
"I'm not going back to that camp.
Please don't make me go back to that camp."
And, like, I'm just gonna be really honest.
Like, I don't need to be voted out to go home.
PROBST: Okay, wait.
I want to be clear that I'm hearing it.
Did you just imply that maybe you're just going
to quit anyway and not have them vote?
I don't know how much more forthright I can be.
I'm not bringing heart to this. I'm not.
I'm not mentally here.
Emily, is this changing your opinion about the vote?
Yeah, it is.
I don't want to...
keep somebody here who doesn't want to be here.
-Yeah. Yeah. -Um, and I can say, you know,
as much as we've just outlied all this drama or something,
I have no doubt,
Kaleb, Sabiyah, Sean, Brandon-- we want to be here.
BRANDON: I want to very quickly say, that you know, I,
-Hannah, love you. -I know. (laughs)
-I've had so much fun with you. -HANNAH: I love you so much.
BRANDON: But we all love the game. We all respect the game.
Why boot somebody else out?
PROBST: So let me ask the group.
The question is
is everybody here on the same page?
I'm gonna vote Hannah out tonight.
I really hate this, but, yeah.
-Yeah, me too. -I mean...
-I'm making you guys do this. -PROBST: How about you, Sean?
Yeah, I mean, if that's what Hannah
-really wants. -(laughing): Stop. I know.
-PROBST: How about you, Emily? -EMILY: Yeah.
-I'll vote Hannah out if that's what she wants. -Sabiyah?
-Yeah. She's gonna go today. -I love you guys.
-I love you, too. -HANNAH: And... (sniffles)
But all I care about right now is how I feel
and how these five people feel, and I know
one of them was going home who wanted to be here more than me,
and that's not fair.
All right, Hannah. Grab your torch.
(mouthing)
-I love you guys. -We love you.
I love you so much.
We love you.
Hannah, the tribe has spoken.
-Time for you to go. -Okay. I love you guys so much.
-SEAN: Love you so much, Hannah. -BRANDON: See you soon, Hannah.
-(Hannah whoops) -(laughs)
What was that?
Oh, my God. Is this Edge of Extinction?
Because I'm not going.
PROBST: Grab your torches.
Head back to camp.
Good night.

BRANDON: Emily is desperate. She is now
public enemy number one.
PROBST: Next time on Survivor...
DREW: This is gonna be the solid group, and I'm so excited.
There are explosions in my head.
-Yeah! -Yes!
Aah!
KATURAH: Bruce does a lot of stupid stuff.
I'm just like,
"Who is this guy?"
I feel fear and anticipation that, like,
the world is going to hate me.
Here I am in front of millions of people
being like, "I have to bow out"
I've read so many articles and books,
and I've researched this, and nothing can prepare you
for what it's like to be completely at zero.
I have nothing in the tank.
I have so much more respect for every single
Survivor player that has ever played.
