AUSTIN: Dee and I-- we've become so close during this.
We don't even have to say it.
We know we have each other's back through everything.
PROBST: Previously onSurvivor...
-You do? -DREW: I'm ready to take some shots,
but we have to keep Dee out of the loop.
DEE: Austin is trusting me, but Julie's my other number one.
If I choose to vote Julie out,
then my game is blown.
Yep.
Okay.
-Okay. Got you. -Okay?
If anybody has an advantage or an idol
-and you want to play it... -Jeff?
I want to play it for myself.
Julie. Does not count.

Emily.

-DREW: The fire's still going. -KATURAH: That was a great save, Mama J.
-That was... -Julie packing heat.
-[laughs] -That was a fantastic play.
JULIE: What a crazy night.
They all turned on me, but I played an idol
that Austin gave to me. I'm safe.
Emily went home.
[vocalizes]
[laughs]
I don't blame you guys.
I know you're just playing a game.
Dee's the one that told me everybody
was gonna blindside me,
but we want to keep that cover
that Dee and I are working together.
So in order to hide that,
we're acting totally pissed at each other, but in reality,
we still got to keep that friggin' alliance.
So that's kind of exciting.
-Oh... [chuckles] -[Jake laughs]
AUSTIN: Tonight was an absolute disaster.
This is the one thing that we did not want to happen.
But even though Julie played her idol,
I thought Julie would either
vote for Jake or for Emily. So I kept
holding on to my amulet instead of playing it,
and I'm glad that I did.
Because my amulet that I have is a full idol,
but it's only good until the final six Tribal,
meaning this next Tribal Council, I need to play it.
So this amulet is very important right now.
Plus, everyone's eyes are focused on Julie.
-Whoa. -JAKE: Whoa.
DEE: I basically had to act when Julie played her idol.
I had to be so surprised and look at everyone
like... [gasps]
Even though I knew what was gonna happen
because I told her what to do. [laughs]
I had to automatically become awkward in front of everyone.
I got to be the best actress
that I've been in my entire life.
It's a game. We're almost done.
We can act for a few more days.
It was so nerve-wracking because I knew that there was
a possibility that they thought I told her. So I have to
pretend now that I am in trouble,
because I wrote Julie's name down.
She's gonna come after me.
She's not gonna come after you.
I think this is actually the best-case scenario for our game.
-Everyone's trying to get rid of Julie... -You're right.
And then Emily... and Emily...
-Yeah. Emily and Drew separate is a good thing. -Exactly.
Yeah, obviously. Who?
I don't know, because they know how close you all are.
-DREW: Hey. -Hey. -Hey.
-DREW: Can I join? -DEE: Yeah, you can sit. -Yeah.
-DEE: Have you talked to Julie? -DREW: No.
-She's gonna come for me. -Julie?
-Yes. -Did you tell her?
-No, of course I didn't tell her. -Oh.
I think if this group showed one thing,
it's that we are not gonna win an Oscar, you know?
There are some bad actors in this tribe.
All we had to do was just lie to Julie
for one vote, and we failed.
-She's smart. She's a very good social player. -She's not under...
...underestimated.
DEE: I have no idea how I sold it.
I just pretended to be stupid. [laughs]
I don't think I'm a good actress. That's the crazy thing.
Like, in my day-to-day life,
there's no point for me to lie to anybody.
But out here, it's a game.
It's almost just as important
as finding an idol and keeping it to yourself,
at this point-- the acting.
AUSTIN: I actually think this is better for our game.
Everyone's eyes are gonna look onto Julie.
-DREW: Yeah. -This keeps us safe.
So she has to go next.
-DREW: She has to go next. -Or the next.
AUSTIN: We're safe.
This is the final three.
-Yeah, I think. -Okay.
-AUSTIN: Julie. -You remember the good old days?
-DREW: Oh, my God, Julie. -[Austin laughs]
-You remember the good old days? -[soft laughter]
I don't know, Julie, do you remember the good old days, man?
-AUSTIN: Oh, my gosh. -What's been going on?
Dee, Austin and myself are sitting on the beach,
and Julie, like, throws herself on top of me.
Like, "Remember when we were the Reba four?"
Like, "Get off me. Get off me."
Like, "I don't know... We're not friends right now."
We all wanted Julie to go home, but she didn't, you know?
She's like the guest who shows up
uninvited at the party, like the ex-girlfriend at the wedding.
I was for real.
-I was Reba four strong. -AUSTIN: I said... Julie, okay.

I just don't know if I could trust the Reba four again.
I mean, Drew pretty much just blew it up.

KATURAH: Last night,
Julie played an idol at Tribal,
and that blew up the vote.
I do know that once an idol is played,
historically, inSurvivor,
it's planted back on the island the very next day.
Now, I haven't had the best luck with finding idols.
It's been 22 days. I found literally nothing.
I'm hoping that changes.
I'm still gonna be looking,
because I don't want Julie to find it.
DEE: This morning, I wake up,
and I count the people that are in the bed.
I'm like, "Who's here?" Katurah wasn't in the bed.
I'm like, "Girl, you don't wake up that early.
You've never woken up that early."
And it's clear that she's up early idol hunting
because she's scared and she
wants to find something. So me and Austin
look at each other. We're like, "We got to go."
KATURAH: I'm getting nervous as heck.
I 1,000% need to add to my résumé,
because I'm afraid I might
get to the final three and I may not
have as compelling of a speech.
I want to win and I need to be able to show
that I've had an evolution in this game,
that I haven't been a passive player.
And finding an idol-- that would be huge.
So I'm searching and digging and looking on trees. What else
can I do but try in this game?
I have to give it my all.

There's no trees down there.
-Good morning. How you doing? -Nervous.
Yeah. That-that is a good point.

JULIE: I did not sleep last night.
I just couldn't sleep.
Last Tribal's vote showed that
this is not a "Kumbaya, let's get to the end with friends."
JAKE: Ooh!
JULIE: This is, "Who do I want
to sit with?" and "I want to take out people
that I don't think I can beat at the end."
Do you want to have our talk in a little?
-JULIE: Yes, I do. -Okay, great.
-Whenever you're ready. -JULIE: Yeah. Yeah, I'm ready.
I think it'd be smart if the four Rebas were at the end,
but I don't know if that's a possible thing.
-Good morning. -Good morning.
I think we're in agreement who cannot win.
-[laughter] -Yeah.
So, when we said, "100% final four Reba..."
-Yeah. I'm still, I'm still fine to go with Reba. -...I meant that 100%.
Yeah. I-I think there are still plenty of routes forward
for Reba, and, uh, most of them start with, uh, voting out Jake.
-[laughs] So... -Yeah, see,
-my insecurity is I don't want to be an idiot -Yeah.
-and y'all tell me that again. -And getting it the second time?
-Yeah, I mean... -Like, I don't know how to build this back.
Like, I want to 100%, because if I...
I think for both of our games...
Yeah.
-...there should be Reba there. -Yeah.
After I stomach and I swallow the rage
of-of this-this blown-up plan,
my first play is to kind of,
you know, coddle Julie and to say,
"No, there is a route forward.
No, Reba needs to stick together."
But realistically, she is on an island alone. There really is
no getting around the fact that Julie is a perennial outsider,
like, now and for the rest of the game.
I don't think the Reba four is a dead and buried thing.
-I'd be more than happy to... -I'd love to bring the band back together.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
We can go on a reunion tour after a break...
a short breakup.
-No, we-we didn't... We-we weren't ready. -Short difference of opinions.
We weren't ready for our solo careers yet.
JULIE: We're like, "Yeah, we're getting the band back together," but
I just feel like it's...
...lies.
Band's getting back together for a reunion tour.
JULIE: Drew organized this entire blindside against me,
and he now says he wants to work with me.
I think he's just feeding me what he thinks
I want to hear or what I will believe.
So, at this point, there's only one person
that I trust 100%.
I don't think
that people are onto the fact
that Dee and I are as close as we are
and are working together.
But there's six people left,
and Dee's the only one that I trust.
'Cause she's proved it.
She saved my life.
So we need numbers.
It's even harder to act back at camp.
When you orchestrate such a big blindside,
you cannot tell anybody,
because the moment that that comes out of my mouth--
even if it's to Austin, who's my other number one--
I am risking a million dollars.
At one point, they came up me, and they're like,
"Did you tell her?"
And I was like, "No, I did not tell her.
-I swear on my mom." -Right.
-I had to swear, like, on them. -Yeah.
-I know. -Because Austin came up to me,
-and he's like, "Dude, people think you told her." -Right.
-So I had to swear on my parents. -Yeah. Yeah.
DEE: Out here, I'm gonna swear on everybody.
I'm gonna swear on my dogs.
I'm gonna swear on my mom, on my dad,
and they're gonna still be alive when I leave here,
and they're gonna be happy when I win
and that I swore for them.
You're my only in, because, like, I swear Drew wants me out.
-Drew is the master... Drew-Drew is... -He is.
Drew is the one that had said your name before.
-I swear. I swear. -I know.

about searching for this idol in my underwear.

it was a show. I was in college. Uh...

[vocalizes]
Ta-da!
It's my hidden immunity idol.
Yeah, my idol... is now my crotch idol.
"Congratulations. You have found a hidden immunity idol."
Let's put that back, make it look good as new.
No one's gonna know a thing.
I would like to get innovative with this.
I need to play this and have it do more
than just save me in this game for another vote.
I need this to earn me votes in Final Tribal.
That's what this is right here.
And I need to figure out how to best implement it.
I'm coming back. I'm not out of this game.
I'm still in it. I'm still a threat.
I'm a wolf in goat's clothing.

PROBST: Jake, Julie, Dee,
Austin, Drew and Katurah.
How you feeling today? I feel like
now there's more energy today.
Jake, you're talking to your buddies,
and you're telling them about this moment right here.
"Probst is asking what it's like.
You know what I told him? I told him..."
I told him it's no-holds-barred right now.
This is every man and woman for themselves, you know?
Two whole tribes have been eliminated.
Six? That's a starting tribe.
This is what we started on, kind of.
-[Julie squeaks] -So now...
we're cannibalizing ourselves, and, you know,
we're gonna have a fun time doing it, right, guys?
-Yup, for sure. -Yeah. -JULIE: Right, right.
All right, shall we get to today's immunity challenge?

Got to take it back.
-DEE: He kneels down. He goes down. -KATURAH: He kneels.
Thank you.
Appreciate the kneel.
Just a little bit. [laughs]
Once again, immunity is back up for grabs.
For today's challenge,
you're gonna put one foot
on one end of a hinged beam.
At the other end is a ball.
Your job: keep that ball up there as long as you can.
When your ball drops,
you're out.
-Last person left standing wins immunity. -[whooping]
Safe tonight at Tribal Council,
guaranteed a spot in the final five.
Losers, Tribal Council where somebody will be
the thirteenth person voted out
of Survivor45 and become the sixth member
of our jury. Big enough stakes?
-Heck, yeah. -Of course. -All right, let's draw
for spots. We'll get it on. Here we go.
All right, here we go.
I'm gonna count you in.
When I get to zero, you need to have a foot up there,
release your gate,
challenge is on.
Five, four,
three,
two, one.
Everybody release.
Everybody's good. This challenge is on.
And balls are moving right away.
Your job: steady it out.
If you're at the far end of the beam,
that's the safest spot, because you've got a little lip.
Katurah's ball right where it started.
Little movement by Austin.
Dee nice and steady.
Jake looking good.
Drew, nice balance work.
Julie very steady.
That ball has not moved from where it started.
It's a brand-new Survivorchallenge.
You are the first to do it.
Whoever wins it will be in five.
You'll have that necklace tonight at Tribal Council.
It's hard to balance on a day when you're feeling 100%,
much less day 23 of Survivor.
-Julie's ball moves. -No, no, no!
Julie's the first casualty.
-Julie is out. -JULIE: Son of a gun!
PROBST: And now we have Jake, arms flapping
to get his balance in control.
Jake drops. Jake is out.
We are down to four, just like that.
Drew, then Dee,
Katurah and Austin
fighting for immunity.
You are only two minutes into this challenge
and you're already hurting.
You're gonna feel it on that down leg
as much as anything.
-More. -More.
Katurah's ball slowly on the move.
And a nice adjustment by Katurah.
Katurah the only person left in this challenge
-who hasn't won immunity. -Aw, no. No, no, no, no.
-JAKE: Don't. Relax. -PROBST: Can she save it right there?
-JAKE: Relax. -PROBST: Katurah in a dangerous spot,
but she's held it.
But she can't anymore. Katurah's out.
We're down to three.
It is Drew,
Dee and Austin.
All three have won individual immunity.
It will be the second win for one of them,
and it will guarantee you a spot in the final five.
Question is who will it be?
How are you feeling, Austin?
Uh... I don't know.
How about you?
-I feel good. -AUSTIN: All right.
I feel how I felt minute one.
[Austin and Dee laugh]
PROBST: Been up there seven minutes now.
Right now, all you're thinking about is eye on that ball.
Keep that ball at the far end of this beam.
You just don't want any erratic movements.
You can see how just a tiny twitch is all it takes.
A lot of movement from Drew, but he's hanging in there.
Another nice save by Drew.
And another.
DEE: Nice job, Drew.
PROBST: And another.
-AUSTIN: Oh, my gosh. -PROBST: Drew continues to fight
in this challenge to stay in it.
DEE: Keep fighting, Drew. Keep fighting.
What the heck is happening over there?
PROBST: Look at that. Hopping around,
trying to keep it going.
-Oh... -Oh, my gosh. -PROBST: Drew's ball
-is all over the place, but he continues -All right, easy,
-to save it. -easy, easy, easy.
-JULIE: Wow. -KATURAH: Wow. -JAKE: Wow.
JULIE: Drew, that was amazing.
PROBST: Drew back in that safe spot

JULIE: Looking good, Drew.

KATURAH: You guys are killing it.
PROBST: Keep digging.
You never know when two people are gonna drop
and it's you that wins.
-JULIE: Oh... -PROBST: Drew drops.
Drew is out. We're down to two.
-KATURAH: Great effort, Drew. -It is Dee and Austin
fighting for immunity.
Here we go. Day 23.
-Drew, that was awesome. -That was incredible.
Dee and Austin have been very steady.
Austin, little bit of movement with that ball,
but he's in the safe zone.
Why are you moving so much?
I'm getting bored.

PROBST: Balls in two very different spots.
Austin is safe right now,

But her ball has not moved in a long time.
Little bit of movement from Austin.
What's going on, Austin?
I just want to get a little movement in.
-Why? It hurts a little bit? -No.
Smack talk at an all-time high on day 23.
You've been up there 21 minutes now.
-Ooh. Good job, guys. -Well done.
Nobody cares about a record.
You want the necklace.
Austin's ball on the move again.
Yeah, don't worry, don't worry.
PROBST: Making its way around that safe zone and back in.
-Not worried? -No. Why would I be worried?

PROBST: Dee, come on over.
-Yeah. -There you go, Dee.
For the second time in Survivor45,
immunity is yours.
Well earned.
Safe tonight at Tribal Council.
Cannot be voted out of this game, which means
you are guaranteed a spot in the final five.
Let that sink in and share.
I feel so grateful. Like, I don't know.
I was just thinking of the million dollars in that ball.
I'm like, "I can't drop that ball."
And I just feel grateful that it was a showdown, too.
I feel like it means more when it's a showdown
'cause you really have to dig deep.
PROBST: Well earned. Dee safe tonight.
Cannot be voted out, guaranteed a spotted at five.
As for the rest of you, 23 days is a long time in Survivor.
It's not enough.
Somebody voted out tonight.
Thirteenth person voted out will become
the sixth member of our jury. You have the afternoon
to figure out who that's gonna be.
Grab your stuff, head back to camp.
-See you tonight of Tribal. Congrats. -Thank you, Jeff.
DREW: I have a plan.
It's in place. I don't want to have to retool it.
There's no editing. I don't take notes.
Julie's existence at camp is a reminder that we failed,
we were outsmarted, we were beaten.
It's certainly not a reminder I like having around.
I'd like Julie to go at this point.
♪ ♪
-Dee, Dee, Dee, Dee, Dee, Dee. -[whoops] Let's go. -Thank you, guys.
It feels so damn good to win.
This guarantees me a spot at the final five,
which is absolutely insane.
But even more than wearing this necklace, as pretty as it is--
you know, I want to go out partying with it--
it makes me feel good 'cause I'm a woman.
And, like, I'm going against these men, and it's like,
"I'm gonna give you a run for your money,
whether you like it or not."
I'm gonna beat you next time.
No, you're not.
-I'm gonna beat you next time. -No, you're not.
AUSTIN: One hundred percent.
Honestly, there wasn't anyone else I'd love to go head...
-I know. That was awesome. -head-to-head at it with them.
You gave me a rough time. Uh, damn.
[scoffs] Didn't look like it. What the heck?
I was like, "This guy's not gonna freaking quit."
AUSTIN: That immunity challenge went
almost as well as I could have hoped.
Obviously, if I won, that would have been the cherry on top.
It definitely makes it easier
losing to someone that I care about,
someone who is very close to me,
both strategically and personally.
But immediately, Julie goes down.
That's who we needed to be out.
That way, we can finish what we started last Tribal Council.
It took one time to knock out my idol,
and this is the time we finish the job.
So, I think we all know what, uh...
JAKE: Yeah.
DREW: Where our heads are at.
-JAKE: No, we're good. -AUSTIN: Yeah, um...
'Cause in my book it's, like, it's a sure thing, so...
JAKE: It would be very easy for me to say,
"Yup, we're going on Julie again.
We're putting all the votes on Julie."
But...
that doesn't help Jake's résumé.
That doesn't help Jake's résumé one bit, so...
Julie and I don't have the best history, but
Julie playing in desperation is a great thing for Jake.
-Yup. -Right?
-Right. -What would I be doing
if I decided to dogpile on you again?
-Yeah. -Like, I don't think that helps my game at all.
-It doesn't... It'd be... -So, I don't... I would be...
-It'd be following somebody else's. -Yes. Yes.
So, are you open to anything this next round?
-Yes. Yes. -Okay, so here's what I want to do.
-Ooh. Interesting. -Because
anyone sits next to him in final three, it's over.
-Yeah. -It's over because he's one
-of the best speakers I've ever met in my life. -You're right.
JULIE: Since the entire tribe tried to vote me out,
this is my only play.
So, he's saying the words, and I'm just,
"You're right, you're right, you're right."
What he doesn't know is that I'm working with Dee,
and that she is down for writing Drew's name.
But I can't let Jake know that.
Oh.
If it all goes well, there will be actually four names on Drew.
-That's how I'm looking at it right now. -Okay.
Are you opposed to that?
-I'm not. -Okay.
Right now, every move I make
is absolutely crucial.
I need to take ownership of every person
who gets voted out of this game up until Final Tribal.
I need to be in absolute control.
If we go on Julie tonight,
where's the move in Jake and Katurah?
-Exactly. -It doesn't look like we're the boss.
-You know what I mean? -Exactly.
-They're three, we're two. -I was thinking the same thing.
-It might be time to blindside somebody. -I agree.
JAKE: You want to put three on Drew?
-KATURAH: I'm 100% down with that. -JAKE: Okay.
Julie is 100% in. Julie would be fine.
I was like, "Julie would be 100% in."
I think I can get Dee.
I wouldn't even pull Dee.
Dee might ruin it. Because if it leaks
and he plays an idol, we don't get a move.
The way that this is supposed to work
is myself, Julie, and Katurah-- that's three votes.
That's 50%.
We put them all on Drew. We put three votes on Drew.
Now, if Drew, Dee and Austin put three votes on Julie,
we run into a tie.
If I get the votes to be a tie,
I believe I can get Dee or Austin to flip at a revote.
Now, this is very similar to the move
that I tried to pull with Kaleb,
and to save Kaleb and pull Julie out.
So, in a way, I'm hoping to get some redemption tonight.
-It's 100% a move for us. -Okay.
Dee can't take credit for it, and we have something over Dee
-in final three if she's there with us. -Yeah. Yeah.
Okay, okay, okay.
Damn, that makes sense. I didn't think of it that way.
JAKE: Now, some people might think it's ludicrous
for me to rely on Katurah twice in a similar manner, but
I believe our interests align.
Katurah needs some moves.
If I can make her feel like it's her thing, too--
even though it's not--
my winner potential goes up, so I don't want her telling Dee.
-KATURAH: One, two, -DEE: Two,
-three. Drew. -three. Drew. [laughing]
That's exactly what I was thinking.
-Yeah, they're coming for us for sure. -Yeah. Exactly.
So here's what I'm thinking.
DEE: At this point in the game,
Drew needs to go.
Drew is the mastermind behind a lot of moves in this game.
-Ooh, he's very smart, though. -I know.
-We got to be careful. He... -He's extremely smart.
And that's why I'm, like, we have to be so good
-at making him believe it's Julie. -Yeah.
DEE: I think the fact that I voted
for Julie last Tribal Council--
thank friggin' God that I did that because it showed
that I was still with them in this game.
Drew trusts me right now and he won't see it coming.
However, then that puts me in a position where Austin might
feel like I betrayed him.
It's gonna suck because I'm worried about lying to Austin.
But when it comes to lying to Drew,
I could care less. [laughs]
DEE: It's crazy.
I know. It's right there.
-It's in our hands. -It's right there.
DREW: Up to pretty much today,
everything has gone to plan,
and that's an amazing thing,
because it really doesn't happen in Survivor.
You know, maybe I'm full of hot air on this accomplishment,
but I really did control the merge to this point.
The only true hiccup was Julie's idol play.
But even that-- there was some convenience for that.
Emily got out of the way with no blood on my hands.
And I think that with Julie headed home tonight,
I'm cruising into probably a cleaner final five
than I would have if Julie had gone home in the first place.
My thought is that tonight,
she's gonna try and, like, spike somebody's name out there,
and it probably will be me.
-But Austin could also play his amulet on me. -Yeah. Okay.
So we're set. This is the plan.
-I'm locked in. -Chill.
DREW: I do think that
if I was really in danger,
Austin would play that amulet on me and he would protect me.
And maybe that is tremendous complacency on my part,
but I do think that he's sincere wanting to go to the end with me
and that he would protect me if push came to shove.
-It's not over yet, but, I mean... -It's looking promising.
AUSTIN: It almost feels like it's been too easy, you know?
It was, like, day two, I was with Drew,
and we kind of had been talking about working together,
and, you know, by day seven, we had this final two alliance,
and we knew we can take over this game.
And we figured out a way as soon as the merge hit
how we can knock each person out to finish this game,
and we've been able to get it done.
We have not had any single breach of trust,
-Nope. Never. -ever, which is crazy.
This could go down as the greatest duo
-in Survivorhistory. -It could go down as an all-time.
I think it's an all-time.
-I do too. -It's just cool.
Oh, I love it.
DREW: If you look at the greats, you look at J.T. and Stephen,
you look at Gervase and Tyson,
when things came down to it, especially,
you know, at this point in the game,
they had each other's backs.
Now I'm seeing visions of me at the final three.
Maybe I'm counting my chickens before they hatch,
but at the same time, how could you not?
It all seems so tangible.
Just staying in the moment-- it's hard.
I'm speeding ahead, but I have to stay grounded
in this vote tonight.
Otherwise, I might find myself on the way out.
That sucks, lying to Julie, but at the same time, it's part
of the game, but we're so freaking close.
-No, we're so close. -I know.
I'm so happy you lost. [laughs]
You're not gonna let me forget that, are you?
Never. Never.
I'm going back and forth
with whether I should or should not tell Austin
about blindsiding Drew.
He trusted me so much to come and tell me about Julie
because he didn't want to blindside me.
So I feel like I don't want to blindside him either.
But there is a possibility
that he might use his amulet on Drew
and then blindside Julie.
It would basically be the same situation that I was in.
Um, you know, so...
I don't know. It's getting tough.
Like, this... Oh, man.
I mean, it's kind of crazy, you know?
I think after tonight, we're gonna have to have a...
-Heart-to-heart? -Heart-to-heart, long hangout
-I agree. -at the beach.
-Well, let's do it. -But, uh, I mean, at that point,
-it's game over. -Yep.
It is hard because, like,
my morals are coming in the way, you know?
And... But then, I also told myself, coming in here like,
"Dee, you cannot let your emotions get in the way."
Who are you voting for tonight? Are you...
DEE: I don't know.
Should I tell Austin or should I not tell Austin?
Out here, you're forced to make tough decisions.
And I told myself, coming in here,
I made a promise to myself.
I knew what was gonna be my weakness. I knew it.
I didn't know who was gonna be in this game,
I didn't know who I was gonna meet,
but I knew that my weakness was my emotions getting involved.
And trying to balance my morals in the real world
with my morals onSurvivor...
[sighs] It's hard. It's hard.
♪ ♪
All right.
[Survivors laughing]
Let's start with the reward challenge. Austin,
you won that. Came with a big reward.
A helicopter trip to a sandspit, a nice picnic.
One of the things that I noticed is when I asked you
who you were gonna bring with you,
first, you chose Dee.
But with your second choice, you said, "Now it's about
"who I leave behind to kind of look out,
make sure nothing happens."
Did you get any kickback from people
saying, "What does that mean-- you don't trust us?"
AUSTIN: A little bit. You know, not too much.
But, you know, the helicopter went
in front of the camp, we all screamed.
So, like, I'm just thinking, "Oh, my gosh.
If they didn't already hate me, they're gonna hate me now."
But people were really respectful
of the decision, and, uh,
you know, that's all I could ask for.
PROBST: Julie, what's your take on this?
Yeah, I'm pretty sure he just wanted me
to keep an eye on Drew and Jake.
No. No.
So, my suspicion is
-I was to be babysat. -PROBST: But you're the mom.
-You're the one who babysits. -JULIE: Right?
-My kids are turning on me, Jeff. -[laughing]
JAKE: Well, you know, we let Julie stay up late.
We let her eat ice cream past bedtime.
And you know, she was, uh... I thought
-she had a fun time. Yeah. -Got to jump on the bed.
-You know what I mean? Like... -We were cool babysitters.
-Yeah, we were cool babysitters. -Yeah, yeah, yeah.
PROBST: Katurah, we just literally talked about
Austin making a strategic move,
and it's one big joke, but it's not a joke.
That's a move in a million-dollar game.
I think that we're trying to separate
as best as we can, Jeff.
Yes, we recognize this is a game
and there are gonna be tough moves
that must be made, no matter how difficult they are.
But at the same time, we really like each other.
We enjoy each other's company. I mean, dare I even say
we throw the word "love" out around here.
PROBST: So then, Drew, how do you separate
voting somebody out but spending all day with them,
being friendly?
So, the separation is a complicated task--
and I'll be blunt-- that some people can do it
and other people can't.
Uh, and it's to different degrees for everybody.
-PROBST: Which one are you? -DREW: At first,
I was really caught up in the relationships, and now,
as we get closer to the end, I start to get a clearer vision
for that, you know, million-dollar check,
and I'm sure that a lot of us are starting to feel that way.
I know Julie is. You know, I know some other people are.
All of us have families at home, we have friends.
A million dollars is going to mean the world,
not just in my life, but in their lives, as well.
And that brings you back to reality pretty quickly.
Dee, how do these relationships complicate a vote so much?
Oh, man.
Honestly, like, I think
we all respect each other enough to know that
we enjoy each other's company, but at the same time,
we know we're all lying to each other,
and someone's gonna go home tonight
and everyone knows except that person.
PROBST: So does that mean that alliances
are locked in and you're lying to who you're lying to
or does that mean the opposite:
that alliances are not locked in?
That's why everybody's lying to everybody.
Yeah. I think it's more
that alliances are not locked in at this point.
We're getting to the stage that you're starting to think of
the game versus your personal relationships.
That's just the way it is and we all accept it.
Drew, do you agree alliances are not locked in?
Maybe I'm the country bumpkin here,
but I feel like there are people
out here who I'm 100% honest with.
I feel like I have alliances I've locked in.
PROBST: Drew, that's a very confident statement.
So then, do you feel
like you're able to look a little further ahead,
or is everything about tonight?
Um...
I think if I get through tonight,
I have a clear vision to the end.
Wow.
-Julie, that's a big statement. -JULIE: Yeah.
PROBST: Drew's saying, "I get through tonight,
I see the end."
I'm jealous.
I-I'm in a different spot.
I mean, I'm in final six and I might not make final five.
I hope I do.
But if I let my mind go to final three,
I feel like I might lose focus on just getting there.
PROBST: Drew, it's really interesting hearing that,
because if you survive tonight, you just need to survive
one more Tribal, and no one can vote you out.
And yet Julie can't even see that far ahead.
That's how big the game feels right now.
Yeah, I mean, there's a sense
in which Survivor is like limbo, and the bar
is a different height for everybody at every vote.
And so, we obviously could tell
Julie's feeling the squeeze here,
and she's feeling like the bar is so low that she'd have to
get on her hands and knees just to see under it
-past this vote. -PROBST: Julie.
Drew was very clear
-with his beautiful analogy -JULIE: Yes. Yes.
that for you today, limbo's difficult
-'cause the bar is way down here. -Right? Right?
And I'm hoping that's not the case.
-Drew clearly thinks it is. -JULIE: Right.
So I got to go into trust mode. I have to.
It's almost like that first day of high school
that you're hoping your middle school friends
will be there for you or your summer camp friends will be.
So I'm hopeful, but, like,
there's-there's bigger threats than me.
I'm like, are you kidding me? Like,
there-there's better play out there.
There's got to be. So that's kind of my plea.
Austin, what do you make of Drew's analogy?
AUSTIN: Yeah, I think he's absolutely spot on.
Like, when you're worried about where you are
in a given Tribal Council, it's impossible to really think
far ahead, because you're just trying to survive that one.
And once you do that, then maybe things start opening up.
Whereas for Dee, obviously,
it's much, much, much easier for her
to see, "Okay, one more and I'm four,
and then that means I'm very close to three."
So, 100%.
-Just another solid analogy by Drew. -[laughing]
Jake, Julie talks about having a hard time seeing
past this vote. How about you?
JAKE: I mean, in this game, you got to fight.
And I sympathize with Julie
'cause, you know, I've been in that spot.
That's a tough spot to be in.
But look, Jeff,
the game is in overdrive right now.
Like, we're looking at the end, we're looking at each other
thinking like, "All right, three people
"are gonna be on the jury.
"Three people are gonna be sitting in final three.
How do we want that to play out?"
Dee, has everybody got their final three?
I think everyone has their final three, yes.
However, I don't think that the final three
that we all have in mind-- even my own--
will play out like that.
So you got to be prepared
for multiple options, for sure.

Oh, man. I got totally blindsided.
It's a tragic, time-old story of a young guy
who goes intoSurvivor with a lot of brainpower
and a little bit of too much confidence.
I'd love to tell you that, like,
Survivor totally transformed me,
but it's a deeply ambiguous experience that breaks you down,
and I'm hopeful that I'll be given the opportunity
to grow, building off this.
