No.
Sean said on the way out, "I didn't vote for you."
-He said that to you? -Mm-hmm.
I feel sick.
Who knew
that Sean's parting words
would be like, "Didn't write your name down."
Why is he trying to throw a grenade on us?
We were nothing but nice. We were gonna save him.
So, if Sifu believes Sean, then that means
one of us wrote Sifu's name down.
We all think Sifu has an idol.
So next Tribal, we all vote for Sifu,
he plays an idol, Whoever he names is going home.
Yeah. It was bad.
No one here wrote Sifu?
I did not.
Did you write Sean?
I wrote Sean.
Well, there it is. [chuckles]
Maybe Sean voted Sifu.

Immunity is yours, as well as the return of your flint.
Lulu, once again, immunity is yours.
Nobody going home from your tribe, Kellie.
In addition, reward waiting for you back at camp.
Reba, ten freshly-caught fish.
Lulu, five freshly-caught fish.
Before we go, there is one more twist today.
We're gonna take a journey. Reba, because
you finished first, you are in charge of who goes.
You're gonna choose one person
from each of the three tribes to go on a journey.
You will return back to your camp before Tribal Council.
Take a moment, figure out who you're gonna send
and then I want to hear why.
I'm sorry.
PROBST: All right, let's start there.
From Reba, who won the rock, paper, scissor?
-I did, Jeff. -And that means you're going?
-That does. -All right, J. going from Reba.
Now as a group, you're deciding who's gonna go from Lulu.
-Kellie. -PROBST: Kellie. Why Kellie?
We just saw her face when she sat out...
-Oh. -Yup.
Thanks, guys. That's very sweet.
All right, one decision left, Reba.
Who from Belo?
Knowing they're gonna vote somebody out tonight,
this could have big impact on what happens.
Who did you decide and why?
We picked Austin, Jeff.
PROBST: Austin. Why Austin?
Um, well, well, we know Austin,
and I'm curious to see what information
he can give us from the other side.
PROBST: So that's about getting information in the game?
-[Austin scoffs] -J.: It's about many things, Jeff,
-but maybe that's one of them. -PROBST: All right.
J., Kellie, Austin, grab your stuff. You're heading out now.
Boat's gonna take you on your journey.
-See y'all. -PROBST: Austin will be back
in time for Tribal Council.

Reba, Lulu, grab your stuff, head out.
No Tribal Council tonight.
Nobody going home.
SIFU: Watch your head. Watch.
KALEB: Best of luck, you guys.
JAKE: Good luck, guys.
All right, Belo, as a penalty for losing--
sorry for you--
I got to take your flint.
Thank you, Emily. All right, Belo,
grab your stuff, head out. See you tonight a Tribal Council,
where somebody will be the fifth person voted out of Survivor45.
EMILY: Wow. Feels like
it's par for the course for me now
that we lose the immunity challenge.
I've been to every single Tribal Council except for one so far,

And now I have to make a really, really tough decision.
♪ ♪
♪ I don't like this part of the game, hey!♪
-This is the whole reason we're here. -I know.
This first time for me going to Tribal Council--
it's almost unreal
that I could be leaving this game tonight.
So we're gonna do chaotic scrambling
or organized scrambling?
DREW: I got a lot of respect for you guys.
We could do it in, like, an orderly way.
-Yes. -That would be less stressful.
BRANDO: We take turns. Everybody gets to talk to everybody.
Yeah, maybe.
Let's get ready to scramble.
KENDRA: While Austin's off on a journey,
we decide that we're gonna take a very, uh,
respectful scramble.
-I truly think me, you, and Brando are the three. -Okay.
Well, I feel the most secure
about us three voting through tonight.
Okay. Awesome. Then let's do it.
And, like, I don't want to get rid of Austin.
-Yeah. -God forbid there's physical challenges.
I don't want to be the worm, but Drew's the worm tonight.
He's got to go.
He's not that big of an asset.
He's tall, he's lanky,
and he's running out of steam really quickly.
So how-how sure do you feel that, like,
we can get Brando in on this three for this vote?
-Yeah. -You really think so?
Like, 100%? He's not gonna, like, turn on us for...
-I really don't think so. -Okay.
It's gonna be you, Austin, and Emily versus me and Kendra.
And so, my proposal to you...
...is that I will give you my Shot in the Dark
if you are willing to keep me instead of Kendra,
and... on my side...
-There's no need. -Okay.
-There's no need. -Really?
-There's no need. -Okay.
BRANDO: When I tell Drew that I'm open
with voting for Kendra, it's a flat-out lie.
I'm just hoping that he'll trust me and
maybe keep my name off his parchment tonight.
But I do think she's gonna be a much bigger threat
-come merge. -I agree.
BRANDO: The truth is, Kendra is someone
that I definitely want to work with.
You know, working with her will help
keep my old Belo alliances intact.
And I'm feeling really good about working with Emily, but
I'm gonna do anything that it takes.
I'm gonna lie to people
in order to get to day 12.
-Shake on it? -All right. Yeah. Absolutely. Absolutely.
[laughs]
I really like you, man.
DREW: Brando was interesting
because the guy did not even put a fight.
Immediately, he says, "Let it be Kendra."
Hello!
Are you gonna take a break or do we want
to do the next round of speed dating?
DREW: So right off the bat, my suspicions are raised
because you got to give up a little more fight.
And so, I'm thinking, "Okay,
he's playing me."
Kendra pitched me on you.
I mean, Brando and I just had a very interesting conversation.
Oh, really? What did he say?
Brando said that he wants to work with,
um, us four and take out Kendra.
Interesting.
Drew said that Brando approached him and said,
"Why don't the four of us
work together to vote out Kendra?"
-Okay. Whatever. -All right.
EMILY: I'm so confused because I thought Kendra
and Brando were like that.
Yeah.
-makes me kind of afraid that, like... -Uh-uh.
That's funny. That's what he told me.
So I guess he's trying to say that it was my move.
-Interesting. -Yeah.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
EMILY: According to Brando, voting Kendra was Drew's idea.
According to Drew, that's Brando's idea, and it makes
a lot more sense to me that Drew
would be the one pitching it as opposed to Brando
since Brando and Kendra are obviously so tight.
So, Drew is not off to a great start with me
if he's already
lying to me about who is pitching which ideas.
But what did he say to you?
He said that, uh, Brando had approached him,
and Brando had suggested
the four of us work together to vote you out.
He made it seem like it was Brando's idea.
... for throwing my name out there so hard.
It flat-out just doesn't make sense.
KENDRA: Man, that makes me so mad.
I have, like, a rage burning inside me.
When I heard my name, I just wanted to...
[hisses]
...reach out like a cat in a trash bag.
[imitates yowling, hissing]
[yowling]
Aah!
I feel like a little pit bull terrier.
[growls, barks]
Ah. I need a mantra.
Oh, I remember my mantra. Whatever, man.
But it's all good 'cause I'm gonna put my trust
in Brando and Emily this evening to vote Drew out.

"Bye-bye. You thought you tricked me, but I tricked you."

Did Kendra and Brando somehow win over Emily?
And not only that.
How am I gonna keep my story straight?
Here's what happened. So, you have two options.
-DREW: Okay. -One is sustenance.
Everybody gets a sandwich.
And the other one is this, like,
sweat strategy where you work together to bring up
ten bags of coconuts within an hour, and if you do that,
you get some sort of advantage.
So I was like, "I want the sandwiches."
-But it was majority vote. -Yeah?
AUSTIN: What I lied to them about
was the whole idea that we had to carry coconuts
up and down this hill and that we failed at that,
and we didn't get any advantage.
-It was just a miserable experience, overall. -Oh, Austin.
AUSTIN: Lying to my tribe--
it's not ideal, but
my best buddy in this game, Drew,
is someone I can totally trust.
-Drew, I wasn't entirely truthful. -What does it say?

have to combine, and we get one extra vote.
Well, we just basically have to vote them out.

Should I tell Emily? I was leaning towards "yes"
to telling her, but what do you think?
They're coming for me right now.
Brando and Kendra with Emily in the middle.
And she was like, "I don't think you're being honest with me."
I was like, "What are you talking about?"
AUSTIN: Drew's a little bit nervous
that maybe he's gonna go home because
Emily might not be as 100% as we originally thought.
So I should tell her about this?
I think you should tell her.
AUSTIN: So right now, in Drew's pocket,
he has a Safety without Power.
So if things get wacky,
he could use it, dip out at Tribal Council
and not have to worry about getting voted out.
On the other hand, I have a one-time use idol
which I can extend the power of
by sacrificing my vote, while at the same time
using my second advantage,
which is a Goodwill Advantage, which restores the vote.
Dude, it would be a breaking of a potentially epic duo.
We're gonna win over Emily.
I do not want to use these advantages yet.
But the big question tonight is do we trust Emily
to work with us or do we need to use
all of our advantages out of our pockets
to ensure our safety?
Like, I had a moment of doubt with Drew because
-Brando was, like, telling me some lies. -Uh-huh.
And I thought that the lies were coming from Drew,
-but they're coming from Brando. -Drew mentioned that.
Yeah, and so, I didn't know who to believe.
Brando's, like, playing.
I want this Tribal Council to go away.
I'm extremely torn right now
between voting out Brando or Drew tonight.
I'm worried it's gonna be me tonight, but, uh...
I'm worried it's gonna be me tonight,
so we're in the same boat.
EMILY: I want to position myself well for a potential merge,
but seems like no matter which direction I go,
I am burning some bridges, either with the old Reba tribe
or the old Belo tribe.
-Battle of the nerds out here. -Yeah.
EMILY: I'm worried that if I vote out an old Belo member,
that the Belo tribe will easily turn against me.
So, the journey-- I was 90% truthful.
There was a choice. It's a very underwhelming one, but if
-we had to vote all together -I've seen this before.
-Yeah, they had this in the past. -to get one extra vote.
Yeah.
But on the flip side, I genuinely do feel a connection,
especially with Austin,
even though he got some sort of advantage.
But Drew seems to be more of a game player.
So I'm really torn right now
between the part of my brain that's like,
"Go with the numbers," and the part of brain
that's like, "Go with your gut."
Now it's about who actually has my best interest at heart.
I keep flip-flopping in my mind,
and I'm scared the sun is going down, and I still don't know.
♪ ♪
If this is your first time at Tribal Council,
grab a torch,
dip it in the flame and get fire.
This is part of the ritual
of Tribal Council because, in this game,
fire represents your life.
And when your fire is gone, so are you.
Brando, you're nodding.
When you hear those words,
do they sound different when it's you sitting on that stool?
You know, as a player, you never want to be here.
But as a self-proclaimed superfan,
when I hear you saying those words,
and when I'm looking at the, you know,
beautiful ambiance of Tribal Council,
it's really hard not to be in awe.
PROBST: Austin, what is that?
Because I hear it a lot, and I do get it.
It's the thrill of playing Survivor.
But this ambiance,
this fire that can be romantic and kind of cool,
is death until somebody is crowned a winner.
AUSTIN: Every cycle,
it ends right here.
This is the ultimate moment
where everyone puts their pen to the paper
and decides what exactly happens.
PROBST: And Emily, does
having been to Tribal Council give you a leg up,
just generally speaking?
To some extent, I think I'm calloused from it.
And heading into the ringer again,
you've mentally prepared yourself for the battering cage
that is Tribal Council. But I'll tell you,
at this point, Jeff, I'm over it.
Clearly, I'm on tribes--
I might be the problem-- where I keep losing. [laughs]
Brando, let's go back to the switch.
Part of the design of the new era is
to constantly make you check and assess and adapt all the time.
So when you see a tribe swap, and how do you handle that?
Um, you know, it was heartbreaking to know
that I wouldn't be with that many of my old Belo members,
but I think new Belo is honestly
where the focus of everybody else was pointed,
and we're the only tribe that has relationships
that span to everyone else in the game.
And I think having those relationships and having
that experience with old Belo, for example,
is something that makes me pretty valuable.
Drew, that's a pitch.
DREW: Yeah, it definitely is, Jeff. If somebody's
very well-connected, that could be useful
for me as a guy trying to make my way through
a very complicated merge.
But it also could be threatening
because they're so established that
I have no room going forward with them.
BRANDO: It does also mean that I have knowledge of the cracks.
It's having that knowledge of those relationships
that I think is valuable, not just that they exist.
Kendra, the other, obviously, tricky part about Tribal is
sometimes players send a message with what they're saying.
Sometimes they're distracting with what they say.
You don't know until you get to the very end,
and all the secrets are revealed.
I hate it. [laughs]
I'm a pretty independent person.
I don't often trust people that heavily in my own life.
So, where my fire, my life,
my passion in this game relies on people here
who I've had conversations with
is absolutely terrifying to me.
Drew, when you hear somebody tell you something
that's very vulnerable,
does that change how you would treat Kendra
or could you still lie to Kendra
because this is not our real life,
we come here to play a game?
Yeah, absolutely, and I came into this tribe
not expecting to get along with Kendra,
and we kind of bonded
over being open about who we were.
And so, that level of personal investment
kind of steeps the decision I've got to make today
because, like, I'm not betraying a chess piece.
I'm betraying, like, a real person
who I have had a tremendous, unexpected bond with.
And that is a tough thing to do and it's not something
that I'm accustomed to doing in my real life, either.
Emily, how about for you? When you hear that,
any impact on you? Why do you laugh when I ask you?
Oh, 'cause I hate to be the contrarian,
but I... I, of course, am, and, you know,
we come into this game acknowledging the fact
that we're gonna get to know people
for the genuine people that they are
and then backstab them.
In the game of Survivor,
it's about survival.
PROBST: So, Austin, are we past
the part of tribe strength?
Have you already started shifting
into relationships when we merge?
Oh, definitely. I mean, we know that there's cracks both
in original Belo and original Reba.
And what we have to do is figure out
what group we can move forward into the merge with
that's gonna work with us not just for one vote
or two vote, but for the long haul.
And that's ultimately what my vote is coming down to.
So, Drew, tonight's vote is about what for you?
DREW: Oh, it's tough. I look down
the periscope, and I see this big battle ahead.
Tribes coming together and colliding
and ripping each other apart.
And my vote right now is based
on best positioning myself for that.
Not for, like, going forward as a group of five or four,
but on surviving this coming onslaught.
PROBST: Emily, are you in the middle of this?
Because I hear talk of Reba and talk of Belo.
I don't hear talk of this five.
It's odd, Jeff, because when I'm doing that calculation about
where I'm going to be, look,
I haven't had an alliance in this game.
I'm sitting here at Tribal Council for how many times now?
For me, it's kind of like when you analyze stocks.
There's this qualitative and quantitative component
where you're doing the numbers on it, right?
Who has the majority, who has whom, and you're trying
to calculate who could vote where.
But there's also this qualitative component
of who can I trust? And that's kind of what I need.
That nice mix between the qualitative
and the quantitative, moving into a potential merge.
Um, this is the only opportunity where
we really get to put our money where our mouth is
in the game of Survivor,so I actually look forward to proving
-that loyalty. -All right, with all that said,
it is time to vote. Brando, you're up.
♪ ♪
Wow.
[sighs] This is my idol,
and I'm going to sacrifice my vote
in order to extend the lifespan of this idol.
But...
with this... bad boy right here...
[sniffs, sighs]
...Goodwill Advantage, I'm gonna restore my vote.
I'll go tally the votes.

All right, I'll read the votes.

SIFU: It's crazy. With 13 people, this is
psychological warfare.
[yelling]
PROBST: Next time onSurvivor...
Yeah.
We've entered a new stage of the game,
and we could just squash them.
KALEB: I'm not Batman. I'm the Canadian. You know?
Playing Survivor is absolutely unbelievable.
And I got to meet all of these amazing people
and learn so much about myself.
I can push myself to limits
that I never thought that I could.
And as someone who, you know,
wasn't the most social kid growing up,
being out here with a bunch of strangers,
learning about them and just being vulnerable
is something that, you know, I wouldn't trade for anything.
