CIRIE: And who'd you send it to?
-Aubry. -Oh!
CHRISTIAN: We're telling them
that Rick found the Billie Eilish
Boomerang idol instead of me.
JEFF PROBST: Previously onSurvivor...
Both losing tribes will go to Tribal,

this should be an easy vote.

KAMILLA [laughing]: Yeah.
RIZO: Last night,
I got to show these icons
my strategic chops and why I was chosen
to play season 50.
I did everything I set out to do.
I got my number one target out of the game,
pocketed my idol, and I gained three allies,
being Dee, Kamilla and Cirie.
So, all in all, Operation Bad Blood
was a success.
DEE: I'm sorry,
and thank you for taking it so well, too.
Like, I'm actually shocked.
-Yeah. -At the way you took it.
I don't know.
I am
distraught. I have never had this happen
to me in Survivor,ever.
I've never been blindsided.
But season 50 is so crazy
that I didn't even catch
that they were voting Charlie, my own alliance.
DEE: We were just all scared
that maybe you would tell Charlie.
-Yeah. -So we couldn't take that risk.
-You know what I mean? -Yeah.
Do you think that y'all would still want
to try to work together?
DEE: We need each other.
That's what I thought.
I hope that
you and Kamilla really would work with me,
-'cause I... I'm loyal. -100%. 100%.
JONATHAN: I think there's room
for me to get back in the game.
If I can work with Dee and Kamilla
and get them to trust me, maybe I can stay alive.
It's a slim shot, but it's a shot.
-Here comes a boat. -Well, from here on out,
-I think... -There's a boat.

OZZY: "Your fellow castaways
will be joining you soon."
-What the... -Come on.

STEPHENIE We're gonna have visitors.
There's literally 17 people in the game with 14 days left.
That means this game
is about to go crazy.
-Oh, my God. -Oh, my gosh.
-Hey. -This is the largest merge ever.
-Seventeen people? -Seventeen.
OZZY: It's unknown what's gonna happen next.
So I need to get to Emily
and tell her about this secret
that I've been holding so she feels good
with me, we can go forward
as a... as a strong and tight alliance.
-We made it. -We made it. Oh, my God.
-I know. -Oh, crazy.
-And... -Against all odds.
-Yeah.
And I just want to say, like, I did have a problem
trusting you in the beginning, and it's taken...
-Same. I understand. -it's taken a long... You know?
-Yeah. -But going to all the Tribals and all the things
-that we've been through, -It builds trust, right?
and everything.
-And I have an idol. -I-I went...
... yes.
I will not tell anybody.
OZZY: I'm using this valuable piece of information
that I have an idol to really solidify some trust
with Emily and Christian.
-I think this is a pivotal moment. -Yes.
We went through it, you gave me your Shot in the Dark,
you built the trust back.
Look, I'm really
-solidifying me, you and-and, uh, Emily. -Yeah.
-Yup. -And I want to tell you...
Holy ... Dude.
My relationship with Ozzy's been complicated.
I have been working my tail off to earn his trust back
before anything big like this happens.
I even gave him my Shot in the Dark
as a gesture of trust.
And then he gives it back to me.
And him telling me he has an idol shows
he does trust me enough.
I'm thankful for that, 'cause we need an army,
'cause the... the enemies are at the gates now.
-Is that a boat? -Oh.
-Look over there. -OZZY: I think they're coming.
-STEPHENIE: Is that them? -That is them.
-Hey. -Oh!
-Yeah! -Oh, my God.
OZZY: Welcome.
JOE: When you get to this island and you see 17 legends,
you got to think, you have people
from 25 years of gameplay.
It's almost too much to manage. There's no rulebook.
No one's ever seen this. You're kind of like,
"Hello. Nice to meet you." It's just...
Whoa.
Whoo!
CHRISTIAN: There has never been
a grouping of Survivors like this.
And it's not just
normal Survivors.
This is the cream of the crop across all 49 prior seasons.
All together.
Nah, I'm just kidding.
Oh, hey, Coach, nice to meet you.
Chrissy. Yes, you almost won.
Jonathan Young. The man is large.
Did you know this? He's a large man.
It's crazy. All these people
that you've seen on TV, and you can talk to them.
I'm talking to Colby.
Look at me, Mom.
But I'm happiest to see Rick Devens.
Oh, Captain, my Captain.
Rizo! Welcome back, brother.
RIZO: Oh, my God.
My fever dream is finally coming true.
I'm finally gonna meet Ozzy.
I'm finally gonna meet Christian Hubicki.
Nice to meet you. Christian. Yeah.
And the eight-year-old Rizo is finally gonna have his moment
with Benjamin "Coach" Wade.
Rizo. Pleasure, brother.
RIZO: All of these players from 50 seasons ofSurvivor

I wish I could tell you I know what to expect,
but I really don't.
But I'm here for the ride, baby,
so I'm buckled in.
OZZY: All right, everybody.
-CHRISSY: Oh, here it is. -OZZY: We'll just go around

RICK: Seventeen people.
Is that too many for one island?
Don't worry. They won't all
be here very long.
You're gonna want to stay tuned for what happens next.
-CHRISTIAN: Hey, there. -AUBRY: Hi.
-CIRIE: Bula. -CHRISTIAN: Hey, guys.
Christian. I know we had a big falling out, and said
we never wanted to see each other again.
Yeah, but now we're here. And should we hash it out?
No. I-I stand by it. I stand by it. -[mutters]
RICK: Christian and I were so tight on original Cila,
and that's who I was having the most fun with.
So now we can get the gang back together. This is awesome.
-Dude, it's so good to have you back. -This is top...
I can't believe all five of us made it.
Oh, Captain, my Captain.
RICK: Everything I know about the idols
and advantages is
Christian found the Billie Eilish Boomerang idol,
which he sent to Aubry, and I'm taking credit for.
-Thank you. -No, absolutely. Absolutely.
-Truly. I'm like, "Rick." -[laughs]
RICK: Christian and I planted the fake idol
at Tribal, which is just sitting there
ready to be used. I can't wait.
But outside of that, I don't really know what's out there.
But that's enough.
Like, that's enough to know that there's something out there.
How you doing, lady?
-I'm good. -I like your glasses.
Oh, thank you.
Really? Yeah.
Ah! Yes!
The most exciting thing I learned today.
Aubry has an idol.
And who woulda thunk it?
This girl.
Early on. So, roll the tape back
to day whatever, when I said it.
I am convinced
Aubry has a Boomerang idol.
Yes.
Aubry is someone that I wanted to get out
since the beginning of this game, so,
number one item on my agenda:
discredit Aubry.
-Aubry has an idol. -I love it.
-Aubry has an idol. -Aubry has an idol.
Aubry does have an idol.
You know Aubry has a idol, right?
Yeah, I heard that.
Devens said he found the Billie Eilish Boomerang idol
and sent it to Aubry.
Apparently, Rick... There's some kind of idol
called a Boomerang idol.
And he allegedly has that?
He allegedly
-sent it to Aubry. -He didn't tell you that?
-Uh, yeah, he told me you do. -Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Yeah. So, yeah.
It was nice to know everybody knows about it.
Yeah.
AUBRY: Man, I wish people didn't know I had the idol,
but everyone is connected five ways to Sunday.
Cool.
How did you find out about Aubry?
-Cirie just told me. -Okay, then.
GENEVIEVE: Information is
flowing on this beach,
so I decided
to share my own information
and let Ozzy know his idol--
it came from me.
You know I found
-the Boomerang idol. -Yes.
Rizo was part of the decision to send it to you.
Is Ozzy supposed to know
that I know that you gave it to him?
Yeah, I think you're good.
So Genevieve sent Ozzy an idol.
It's a Boomerang idol. It's called
the Billie Eilish Boomerang idol.
GENEVIEVE: Everybody else is whispering
about all the other things
that are out there, but no one knows
about my second Billie Eilish Boomerang idol
that I gave to Rizo.
Yes.
-I thought you gave it to me. -No.
GENEVIEVE: I want an idol out there
that if it does boomerang back to me,
people don't know about it. So,
no one knows I gave it to Rizo,
and no one ever will.
I never told you this, but I have an idol.
But it sounded like it was common knowledge.
OZZY: I'm starting to find out that
everybody, pretty much, knows about my idol,
and that's a... that's a big bummer.
I thought it was gonna be a secret, and it's not, so...
-[laughs] It never is, dude. -Good...
good for me.
The amount of information
that's floating around between these 17
castaways is astronomical.
You just have to collect as much of it as you possibly can
from every single person.
Then Rizo tells me
somebody sent him a Boomerang idol.
So Rizo has one, I have one,
-Yup. -and Aubry has one.
-Yup. -All right.
But once he told me that,
and he was like, "I want to lock in with you and Ozzy,"
-I did tell him about the extra vote. -Yeah.
-So only... only... -Only us three know.
Only us three know.
CIRIE: Rizo and Ozzy share the same place in my heart.
I'm in a poly relationship now
with Rizo and Ozzy.
I talked to Genevieve, and I said,
"Who were your people in Kalo?"
She told me the people that she was
working with were her, Colby and Joe.
And Colby is tight with Coach.
And I think Stephenie is in with them.
-Old school. -All old school.
The new era mindset is,
"I can vote with my archenemy
"for one vote, for
two votes, and then I can get them out.
I just want to advance in this game."
The old era style is, "I stick with
the people I said I was gonna stick with, and that's it."
And I think that's where
the old-era thinking
is gonna have a problem.
COACH: Ooh, wait. One,
two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight.
You got an eight pack.
You are everything I wanted to be
-on my first Survivor. -Dude, that means a lot, Coach.
And I just could not make it happen.
JONATHAN: I've been waiting
for this moment where we can all get together,
and we can talk.
JONATHAN: I've been wanting to talk to all
these people, these legends
that I've been seeing at these challenges.
I will be solid with you if you're being solid with me.
-Yes. -Well, and that's...
And I know Colby is solid.
-Uh, yup. -Colby is super solid.
JONATHAN: A lot of the old-schoolers
want to work with me
just because of what they saw in season 42.
They know that I'm a loyal player.
I'm gonna be what I was,
but I'm not gonna stop there.
I'm gonna make relationships
that I wouldn't have normally made.
How are you feeling?
-In the game? -Yeah.
On my first tribe, I think I didn't really have a bead
on what was going on.
Well, the good thing about this is it's a new start.
-It is. -For both of us.
-Like, the whole thing is... -Yeah. It really is.
It's all up in the air.
There's 17 killers, right?
You have to be open
to 17 different perspectives all the time.
Just know that nothing has changed
-with you and me and Kamilla. -Oh, same with you.
JONATHAN: I'm getting ready 'cause I know
this next half of the game
is gonna be so extreme.
-You got me. -You too.
And when I hear anything...
I am.
-Let's go, Dee. -All right.
-Let's go all the way. -Yeah.
It's almost like a rebirth
ofSurvivor, this season 50, because
no one knows what to expect.
It's so... mysterious.
Season 50's no joke.
♪ ♪
-[overlapping chatter] -What? -A boat.
TIFFANY: So this morning, a boat pulls up,
and I was hoping that a merge feast is on the way.
And then we pull out. It's just a regular boat
with one man on it, no food, no plates, nothing.
And he got an envelope in his hand.
"Read with all tribemates together."
-We're all here. -Ooh! -Yeah.
"Hidden in the jungle is a twist that could change everything.
First to find it claims it."
AUBRY: There's a twist, and it could change
the trajectory of everything.
We're in the most dangerous part of the game because
everyone's kind of at a standoff.
What kind of move is everyone gonna make first?
This could throw a wrench in the whole darn thing.
Ready? Go.
CIRIE: The sharks were out.
This just set them loose. There was, like, a little piece
of mesh holding them back.
And the second that clue was read, the mesh
just popped, and the sharks were all loose at one time.
And I'm just trying not to get bitten.
RICK: It's a scramble, and I'm at a mad dash, man.
I was out of there quicker than anybody.
I'm like Usain Bolt.
And then I find Aubry, like a mountain goat,
up to a place that I didn't think she can get to.
I'm waiting for her to go, "Baa!"
RIZO: Everybody's jogging into the woods.
People are running to the beach.
And I'm thinking, "God, everybody's running
"so hard for this. Like, I'm gonna just chill and relax,
"'cause the odds of me finding it
are very slim."
COLBY: We have no idea what to look for or what's out there.
We just know that
it's somewhere in this vast jungle.
Unfortunately, back on day nine,
I hyperextended my foot, and I can't hobble fast,
let alone run, but I'm not giving up.
CHRISTIAN: My strategy is just
to maximize my chances of finding this thing.
That way
I have some control over whatever this giant twist is.
So keep moving. You don't stop long,
and you identify landmarks.
Landmark, tree. No.
Landmark, tree.
No. Landmark, tree. No.
Just keep going, going, going.
Landmark, tree. No.
No. Just keep going, going, going.
I have so little energy, but just keep going,

I'm looking all over the place, and I am not finding anything.

take it easy, and I'm just
walking along the trail, and...
Oh, my God. Oh, my God.
Voilà.
Oh, yes. [laughs]
Ozzy's lucky day.
Did I finally find something on the show
after ten frigging years?
Wow. No way.
This is so cool.
Hopefully it's not, "You're going to Exile."
"It's the largest merge
"in Survivorhistory.
"So many relationships to manage.
"But today, you'll put your social game on hold...
...'cause you're heading to Exile Island."

OZZY: I love playingSurvivor, and
and I do not want to be voted out of this game, so,
if this is actually an advantage, this is huge.
So who should I choose?
You want them around.
OZZY: Who do I possibly take
where it doesn't look like
I'm either working with them or working against them?
There's really only one answer.
Who's the one person that nobody knows anything about?
Who's the one person that we haven't seen play?
Who's the one person who's sort of
the odd man out at this point?
-Rizo. -[Survivors exclaiming]
-Me and you, buddy. -RIZO: All right.
-All right. -Let's tango, dude.
RIZO: I put on a big smile,
and in the back of my head, I'm like,
"This is terrible."
Because I will have no idea
what's happening back at camp.
If they're doing an immunity challenge,
if one person's getting voted out,
if two people's getting voted out.
But Ozzy and I get on this boat to Exile Island
for what can either be an adventure of a lifetime
or the scariest night of my life.

Got a lot of fun here.

STEPHENIE: Oh, boy.
All right. Look at
-everybody together. -Whoo!
First things first. Aubry, let's get rid of that.
Tribal immunity is no more.
[Chrissy sighs]
All right. So,
when we were putting together
this season, we had one goal.
We wanted to do our best
to make it memorable.
And in order for something to be memorable, it's got to be rare.
That's what makes it special.
So we did a couple things we've never done before.
Twenty-four players-- most ever. We also
turned the entire show over to the fans.
They voted for the type of game they wanted you to play.
And when it came to twists,
63% said, "I love twists.
Bring 'em on."
So today, a twist... for the fans.
-[laughing]: For the fans. -PROBST: A twist
so memorable, so rare,
it will cause the entire Survivorworld
to pause and take notice,
because it's never happened before.
-Oh, my gosh. -PROBST: We thought
this twist could use a metaphor,
something to give it a little shape, a little form.
So we started by asking ourselves,
"Well, what is it about
"the Survivorexperience that makes it unique
in the first place?"
And that is, while playing this game,
you live in nature,
you deal with it every day.
The rain, the ocean, the blazing sun.
And then it dawned on us.
Nature itself offers
a perfect metaphor for what's gonna happen today.
Because, every so often in nature,
an event happens that is so memorable and so rare,
the entire world pauses to take notice.
That is a total lunar eclipse.
That is when the Earth's shadow covers the moon
and turns it a deep,
foreboding red.
And we call it a blood moon.
Ancient civilizations
feared a blood moon.
They saw it as a warning.
A sign of upheaval,
even impending doom.
And that's how you should see it as well.
Because tonight,
Survivorwill have its own version
of a blood moon.
And just like in nature,
it will cast a shadow over the entire Survivorgame.
And it will never be the same again.
Because tonight, not one...
...not two...
...but three players will
-have their torches snuffed. -Oh, my God. -STEPHENIE: Wow.
PROBST: The most ever in a single night.
A moment so memorable and rare,
it will forever change the game.
-Wow. -You wanted big.
We're doing our best.
Let me explain how it's gonna work.
For today's challenge,
you're gonna use your hands and arms
to brace against two walls
while your feet balance on very narrow footholds.
At regular intervals, we will move farther down
to a more narrow foothold, making it more difficult.
If you drop, you're out.
And just to make it a little more dangerous,
we're gonna randomly divide you
into three groups of five.
The person who lasts the longest
with each group earns individual immunity.
This is the immunity necklace
-for Survivor 50. -[Survivors quietly exclaiming]
Wow.
Fans voted on this as well.
-That's beautiful. -PROBST: 84% wanted this, and it's a beauty.
Tonight, three players will look very good...
STEPHENIE: Wow.
...with this around their neck,
'cause all three groups are going to Tribal Council
to vote out the eighth, ninth and tenth players
from this game.

There is a silver lining to today.
And that is you're playing for reward.
Want to know what you're playing for?
-[all voicing assent] -The person who lasts
the longest earns for themselves
and their group the biggest reward
of the season.
Applebee's.
-[Survivors gasping] -Oh, my gosh.
PROBST: Applebee's is back
for this historic season of Survivor.
You're gonna head over to the sanctuary.
I think you're gonna have a good afternoon.
[overlapping chatter]
Great, bro.
-[overlapping chatter] -PROBST: We'll start
with the classic combo. These are all
the classic apps that you love.
You got your boneless wings.
Got your spinach and artichoke dip.
-Oh, bro. -PROBST: Got a little chicken
quesadilla here and some crispy mozzarella sticks.
-[gasps] -Then we'll get into the mains.
Maybe you want a bacon ranch chicken sandwich.
-KAMILLA: Mm-hmm. -PROBST: That is a crispy,
hand-breaded chicken breast,
applewood smoked bacon, and a house-made ranch drizzle.
Or maybe you want the Whole Lotta Bacon Burger.
That's bacon, bacon and more bacon.
Yes, yes, yes, yes.
That's bacon in the burger, that's bacon in the sauce.
That's bacon on top.
That's seared applewood smoked bacon
into a juicy all-beef patty.
-Oh, my God. -PROBST: Or you could go
for the Bourbon Street Steak,
Applebee's signature item, fan favorite.
That's eight ounces grilled top sirloin,
-Cajun spices, -Oh, man.
served sizzling in a skillet,
-smothered in mushrooms and onions. -Come on, dawg.
PROBST: And just make sure
you leave a little room for dessert.
-[Survivors gasping] -Maybe you want to try
Applebee's newest dessert:
Sizzlin' Caramel Apple Pie.
-[Dee gasps] -That's layers of hot,
cinnamon apple pie
with a little bit of caramel sauce,
vanilla ice cream,
served in a warm skillet.
And, of course, an Applebee's reward
would not be complete without... the Shark Bowl.
Yes.
Applebee's rum cocktail favorite.
-With a gummy shark? -PROBST: Big enough stakes?
-[all voicing assent] -Well, just to make sure...
-Oh, my God. -we're gonna add one more
little turning point to today.
After tonight's
Blood Moon,
the jury begins.
-Oh. -After.
PROBST: So if you survive tonight,
then, at the very least,
you will have a say
in who wins Survivor 50.
Those are big enough stakes.
We're gonna draw for spots and groups
and we'll get it on. Gonna make a little history
on Survivor 50.
-[applause] -Here we go.
All right.
Biggest stakes so far in Survivor 50.
Everybody is in position.
And this challenge is on.
-COACH: Yeah. -CHRISTIAN: There you go.
PROBST: The rules are simple.
You can use your hands or your arms.
Cannot use your shoulder,
your hip, or your back.
Look at who we've got competing against each other.
For Purple, it is Genevieve,
Aubry, Christian,
Devens and Joe.
In the middle, it's Cirie, Emily,
Colby, Coach and Dee.
And on the end, it is Jonathan, Steph,
Tiff, Kamilla and Chrissy.
You last the longest out of your group,

-Now, that's a challenge. -We got this, bro.
All right, things are gonna get a little more interesting,
because now you're gonna move down

Five, four,
three, two...
And Emily drops.
Emily is the first out from Blue.

but you can use your hands
to brace the outside of the wall.
You're really gonna feel it here.
Oh, my God.
PROBST: Devens can't make the transition. Devens is out.
PROBST: Give you ten more seconds, then it's on.
Jonathan can't take it anymore.
Jonathan is out.
-[groans] -PROBST: Bigger you are,
the bigger your feet. That perch-- same size.
[groans]
PROBST: Colby fighting through some pain.
-Ahh! [groans] -PROBST: Colby drops.
Takes a hard fall.
EMILY: Colby?
-You all right, Donaldson? -COLBY: Yeah.
[strained voice]: Yeah, good. Yeah.
PROBST: All right, I saw the thumb.
Four people are out.
-Now you're feeling it. -Ladies, hold strong.
-PROBST: This is about
-tolerance. -[Cirie groans]
How much can you take?
PROBST: Cirie gonna opt out. Cirie is out.
We're down to two now in the middle, in Teal.
Coach versus Dee in a showdown.
PROBST: One of the two will win individual immunity
and maybe reward
for their entire five.
Coach-- one of the more memorable
moments inSurvivor history,
when he came back from Exile Island.
The monastic approach.
Had a dramatic exit out of this challenge.
[yells]
One for the books.
All right.
It is time to move down
to the most narrow foothold.
And that's where this will be won or lost,
and it could be fast.
And let's begin the process.
Five, four,
three, two,
-One. -[Coach groans]
And everybody has successfully
navigated the transition.
COACH: Nah.
PROBST: Coach can't take it anymore.
-[Dee groans] -Dee has won individual immunity.
Dee, stay up there.
Dee can't do it.
Dee is out. Dee's won individual immunity,
but Teal will not be enjoying Applebee's.
-[Tiffany exhales sharply] -PROBST: Tiff drops,
and we're down to three on Orange.
-We stay here until it's over. -[Aubry groans]
Aubry drops.
Joe drops.
Genevieve drops.
Christian has won individual immunity,
and he's still up there.
Going for Applebee's.
Bring home the bacon, Christian.
Orange has three shots at Applebee's.
-Purple has just one. -Let's go, Doc.
He is struggling.
Christian drops.
-Yeah! -PROBST: Jonathan's happy.
That's my team!
PROBST: Jonathan, Steph, Tiff,
-Kamilla and Chrissy -Good job, ladies.
are going to Applebee's.
Yeah!
PROBST: But Steph, Kamilla, Chrissy, you got
to stay focused. Do not get lost in that reward.
-It's waiting for you. -Ow. Ow,
-ow, ow, ow, ow, ow, ow, ow, ow, ow. -Kamilla fighting
-to stay in it. -You got it. You got it.
Fight through it. Fight through it.
I'm out.
Kamilla drops out, and we have a showdown.
It is Steph
versus Chrissy.
One necklace left.
Steph-- first time she played, way back
in Survivorten.
Palau.
Chrissy first played,
Survivor35.
Has been waiting to come back again.
Waiting for this opportunity.
Blood Moon tonight, three players
will be voted out.
Number eight, nine and ten.
You don't want that to be you.
It's yours, Steph.
-PROBST: Chrissy gonna step out. -Oh.
Steph wins individual immunity
and earns, for her group,
the biggest reward of the season in Applebee's.
STEPHENIE: Chrissy, girl, I never thought you would quit.
PROBST: Both women gonna be feeling that
for a while, but it will be
-a lot easier with a Shark Bowl. -Good job.
Christian, come on over.
The last time I put this around your neck
it was at the end of a very dramatic
-showdown in your season. -It was.
Second time you've won individual immunity.
-CHRISTIAN: Thank you very much. -Congratulations.
-Head back. -Thank you.
Dee, come on over.
Not your first time to have individual immunity.
-Oh, my God. -What did you win it?
-Three times? -Yes.
You don't have to say that out loud. Just...
Oh, so sorry.
There's no secrets out here, right?
All right, Dee, thanks.
Safe tonight.
Steph, come on over.
It's been a long time since you've had
the necklace.
-STEPHENIE: That's right. -PROBST: Come here.
-You've worn this once before. -Once, I think.
Um, but to actually win immunity
and be the last one
of all of you guys, who are
incredible competitors--
I'm shocked.
-All right, Steph, head back. -Thanks, Jeff.
Steph not going home tonight, either.
-Tiff, Jonathan, Kamilla, -Applebee's, Applebee's.
Chrissy, thanks to Steph, you're gonna enjoy
an afternoon at the sanctuary
-of Applebee's. -You guys killed it.
When you're finished, you'll return
to your merge beach.
Christian, you all are gonna
leave here and go to the old Kalo beach. Cirie,
your group is going to go to the old Cila beach.
All right, everybody, head back to camp.
I will see all of you tonight at Tribal Council
for a big night. Grab your stuff, head out.
-Thanks, Jeff. -Nice job, guys.
Let's go, guys.
TIFFANY: Today we found out
the fans voted for twists, and apparently, lots of 'em,
and this is Jeff's
sick version of a twist.
He's getting rid of three people in one night.
It's about to be a bloodbath.
That's what Blood Moon means when I hear it.
Anybody who's making it out of here alive,
it's a miracle, and I hope that
God's favorite makes it out alive. That's all I can say.
♪ ♪
OZZY: So Rizo and I-- we are on Exile Island,
and we don't know what's happening at camp tonight.
We don't know if there was a challenge.
We don't know if there was the merge feast.
But there's a chance that this might actually be a good thing.
Yeah, there's no food and there's no fire.
But I'm willing to take the hard night 'cause it means
I potentially have a chance
to skip Tribal.
I've had to go to every single Tribal Council in a row.
Now I find myself halfway through the game
with a chance to breathe.
For me, I'm in the perfect place,
perfect time.
It's just heaven.
I'm in heaven.
I don't know if you have seen one of these.
-There it is. -Oh, is it yours?
OZZY: Before I came to Exile, Cirie told me
that you need to get good with Rizo.
Of course, I trust Cirie's instincts 100%.
She vouched for him, and that's as good as gold.
You need to play with people that have your back.
And I told Cirie that right off the jump.
Um, and I'll tell you something, too.
And this is how you know I'm locked and loaded.
I have the third idol.
-Dude, are you kidding me? -I swear.
Yes. Thank you, Rizo.
Thank you for trusting me.
Cirie already told me your secret.
But that's neither here nor there.
Your secret is safe with me.
That seals the deal between Rizo, Cirie and I.
We are locked in.
Cirie felt good enough about you to tell you
-about the extra vote? -Yes.
-Nobody knows about the extra vote. -I know.
-So... -She told me that, so I was...
-My lips are sealed. -As long as we have
-some secrets -Yes.
-that nobody knows in this game -Right.
-except the three of us. -Right.
RIZO: I'm using this opportunity to bond
and solidify trust with Ozzy.
I've done everything that I can on my part
to let him know I'm willing to play with him and Cirie,
and I feel like he's done the same with me.
So as long as Ozzy, Cirie and I stick together
with all these advantages,
we can do some damage.
-Whoo! -JONATHAN: Applebee's!
KAMILLA: It smells so good.
-[Survivors whooping] -JONATHAN: Oh, yeah.
-Welcome to Applebee's, guys. -Thank you.
TIFFANY: We're walking into the Applebee's reward.
They got these beautiful
Shark Bowls waiting for us when we walk through the door.
-JONATHAN: Cheers. -WOMEN: Cheers.
To Applebee's, Survivor and Stephenie!
TIFFANY: In my mind, I'm thinking, "Thank God."
If I'm going
to have to scramble tonight,
at least I can do it with alcohol in my system. [laughs]
-Look at these appetizers. -KAMILLA: Oh, my God.
-I'm going for the mozz stick. -Mm-hmm.
-I'm gonna eat out of both sides. -JONATHAN: What is this?
I'm so excited.
Stephenie won us Applebee's.
Mmm.
It felt like I was in heaven.
We ate,
and then we ate some more,
and then we had a little bit more after that.
[gasping, exclaiming]
Oh, my God. Thank you.
-Yeah. -TIFFANY: This is a proper merge feast, guys.
JONATHAN: I'm about to stretch my stomach out.
-KAMILLA: Yeah. Yeah. -TIFFANY: Dig in.
-STEPHENIE: Guys, listen. It's been an honor -Mmm.
playing with all of you, seriously.
-JONATHAN: Amen. -STEPHENIE: And I'm so
happy to be on this reward
-with you guys. -Same. -Hear, hear.
Let's just enjoy the reward right now and just forget
-about the game. -JONATHAN: Cheers. -Yeah.
-Cheers. -Cheers. -Cheers.
STEPHENIE: We decided to put the game on hold,
but the game is never on hold. Because, at the end of the day,
whether we eat or not, we still have to go to Tribal Council.
So this could not be
a better time to have this necklace around my neck.
I really wish we didn't have to go Tribal tonight.
I know.
I can't believe three people. That's crazy.
No, that's, like, seriously insane.
CHRISSY: Now we know why Ozzy's advantage was such a
huge advantage.
TIFFANY: With three tribes of five, it's really
sink or swim right now.
There is no hiding spots.
Everybody's out in the open.
And we're all pointing guns like this.
Like, "Is it you? Is it me?"
STEPHENIE: So there's gonna be how many left after this?
-TIFFANY: Fourteen. -Wow.
You think the scrambling's already begun?
Oh, absolutely. Absolutely.
'Cause they don't have this
-Yeah, yeah. to keep them occupied.
TIFFANY: I'm happy with the group that I landed with.
I have two of my very strong
allies from my original beach--
Kamilla and Jonathan.
I'm just keeping my fingers crossed that things go
the way we want them to go.
Hey, you know what we're doing?
We're eating good in the neighborhood.
TIFFANY: Chrissy has not tried to work with me
one single time since we've been here-- 13 days.
I don't want her on the jury.
This is me closing chapter one
of my season 50 Survivor experience
and opening the next chapter. Chrissy cannot be a part of it.
♪ ♪
AUBRY: Kalo.
-Yup. -Never been to this beach.
-Christian, incredible job. -Thank you.
-That was so hard. -That was so good, Christian.
I appreciate that. Thank you.
It was hard fought by everyone.
RICK: Oh, do we have things to do?
[laughs]
AUBRY: The Blood Moon is seriously
the biggest twist in Survivorhistory.
Three groups are going to Tribal Council, and
I'm going with Joe,
Christian, Devens and Genevieve.
I'm really happy about three of those people,
not so much about one.
RICK: All right, I would love more than anything
for this to be a simple vote.
What are y'all thinking?
AUBRY: How do you feel about Genevieve?
-Have you had conversations with her? -A couple,
but it's very... on the edges.
But what happens if we go Genevieve
and she plays something?
Idol, obviously, bad news, but...
-So here's the thing. -Go ahead.
AUBRY: I have the idol
-from you. -Mm-hmm.
I'm using that.
CHRISTIAN: You're using it regardless?
-I'm using it. -Yeah. -Good. Good.
I'm getting through the Blood Moon. I am not ... around.
AUBRY: Christian and Devens are tight.
And Devens gave me my idol.
So the three of us need to come together
and take out Genevieve.
She has no interest in working with me.
That door is
shut closed, tighter than Fort Knox.
So, this is my best chance to vote her out.
If you play yours, you're immune. I'm immune.
-You know, that leaves me. -AUBRY: Or...
RICK: I just am the only one of these three that's unsafe.
CHRISTIAN: So we have to really blindside her.
So we have to tell her some kind of really convincing story.
Okay.
Aubry-- we know she has an idol.
So we're gonna vote for Rick Devens.
-'Cause... -And who's gonna be with us?
It's gonna be you, me, and Christian is the swing.
Listen, if this plan goes ...,
they're voting me out anyways, not you.
Either way, you're fine.
And best-case scenario, Devens goes home.
JOE: All I have at this point is Genevieve,
who I've built a solid relationship with,
but that's only two.
Still, she's putting
to work her master plan
of trying to flip this thing around.
You're gonna be fine either way.
Well, uh, I'm with you.
They want my head on a stick, not yours.
JOE: I'm trying to go into it with a positive mind,
but if this doesn't work,
we're just sitting ducks.
GENEVIEVE: I
genuinely want to work with you.
-Yes. -And I feel like
-if I survive tonight, I'm well-positioned. -Yes.
I would like you to be well-positioned with me,
and I've been trying to make those inroads,
and all I keep hearing is you and Devens are close.
-Wow. -So if you haven't heard people saying that,
that's because what I'm telling you is true,
and you are being lumped in
with the "rats to deal with" before the war.
After we did the rock draw and I see my group,
I go, "I'm screwed,"
because the word around camp is
Aubry has an idol. It was given to her by Devens,
who is also here.
And as far as I've heard,
Christian and Devens are extremely close in this game.
And it's just a matter of,
do they want to send me or Joe home tonight?
So, I'm trying to convince Christian that
I want to work with him, that there is a future,
and it's a better future if you go with me and Joe.
-Okay. -If me or Joe goes tonight...
But if Rick is no longer here, that's no longer an issue.
That's what you're more than implying at this point.
That's what I'm flat-out saying.
CHRISTIAN: Genevieve's one of the most dangerous players
in this game.
She is talented,
knows how to marshal a vote, and
she's smooth as velvet.
All deadly qualities.
You are someone I really can see myself,
like, collaborating with
and playing with, and if you can keep up with me,
-I can keep up with you. -Yeah.
Uh, uh, we-we should get back to other people,
and we definitely will circle back, but
if you want to get out Devens, that's okay by me.
I need Genevieve
to believe that I am being turned,
because I don't want her playing an idol.
I don't want her playing her Shot in the Dark, but
in reality, I don't want to vote out Rick.
He's by number one.
That's something I take very seriously.
She's trying to pitch me to vote for you.
-Uh... -Very nice.
If this is her ploy, she's desperate.
-Yeah. -She's desperate right now.
RICK: But, like, Genevieve--
there's a risk that she has something.
Right.
And I think we're both 99% positive that Joe has nothing.
Correct.
RICK: I'm very nervous
that if we put everything on Genevieve,
I end up going home.
And Joe is the one
who I'm most confident doesn't have an advantage. Plus,
Joe and I had a little bit of a rough patch.
And we've been coming at each other ever since.
So, I don't want Joe on the jury.
Because do I think Joe
is gonna vote for my game at the end?
I really don't.
If he's gone, he's not on the jury,
and I'm safe tonight.
Here's the thing.
Genevieve is dangerous.
She's like a friggin' Terminator.
GENEVIEVE: He told me he wants to do Rick.
I don't know.
I'm working through in my head, are they playing me.
RICK: There's the small risk of voting Genevieve,
but there's no risk voting Joe.
Oh.
RICK: I'm freaking out.
And I like to be cool as a cucumber,
and I do not feel like a cucumber.
I feel like a spicy pickle.
Like, I'm tingling everywhere, I'm nervous.
This is a huge decision,
and if we get it wrong, it's game over.
COLBY: How crazy is it that it's three Tribal Councils?
Three people gone is insane.
The challenge went phenomenal for me because
look at this beauty.
This is the prettiest immunity necklace
I've ever seen in my life.
I'm safe.
I'm good with Cirie.
I'm good with Emily.
So that basically leaves Colby and Coach
up to grabs.
And guess what? You're gonna sit,
you're gonna shake,
you're gonna roll over for me,
'cause you're gonna be my little puppies tonight.
-DEE: How did that happen again? -COLBY: It was in
that challenge on day nine
-when we were pushing the boats up the ramp. -DEE: Yes.
And I thought I just hyperextended my toes.
EMILY: Oh, my God. I'm so sorry.
And it's either a stress fracture or a torn ligament.
It's not looking too good for me.
I come into this with a heavy injury
that certainly didn't help me in the challenge itself.
But worse than that,
I lost my vote early in the game,
still don't have it back, which means not only
am I a sitting duck because I don't have a vote,
but I also can't play my Shot in the Dark tonight.
So, uh, things don't look good at this point.
COACH: Colby's like a friggin' sitting duck.
-He sucks. -I know his toe doesn't work.
He's, like, literally a lame duck.
DEE: Mm-hmm. So that could be, like, easy picking,
I guess, for everybody.
I think we wait on that.
Like, if I... I mean, if it... I'm, uh...
If it were me, I would say Emily,
because Emily, last night, said,
"Dee, Tiffany, Chrissy."
That's the order that she wants out.
-Okay. -I'm just telling you.
She said it to you last night?
-She said it to me last night. -Okay.
-Yup. -Why didn't you tell me before?
Everybody likes saying out names, you know?
-Right, right. -So...
COACH: I told Dee
that last night, Emily threw her name out.
And Dee immediately-- 'cause she's a friggin' great player--
said, "Well, Coach, why didn't you tell me?"
I mean, literally.
I mean, that's my foot in my mouth right there.
Why didn't I tell you?
I could not tell her the truth at that point.
So I had to hem and haw, and, you know, "Emily."
And, "We just met her, and she's... from tribe of five."
And... [speaks gibberish]
And I'm just like, "Okay, you moron.
You will not do that twice."
That could have put a target on my back.
And I'm so mad at myself for doing that.
I got to get my crap together.
And I got to be more patient.
I can't jump the gun like that.
DEE: Coach is so annoying.
He's pitching you hard.
And he told me that this morning you told him
that the list of people going home? Me first.
-What? -He told me that.
-Okay, Coach, whatever. Um... -What an ick.
He's so messy.
Also, this is the weirdest
-pre-Tribal Council ever. -Yeah.
Colby doesn't have a vote. So it's...
Yeah, Cirie. Yeah.
Coach is confusing to me
because his style of gameplay is not
as laid-back and as chill,
I guess, as you would imagine.
Colby is just sitting back.
He's not doing much. He's tending the fire.
That's his strategy.
Coach is doing the exact opposite.
He's just actively lying to people.
It's like this really aggressive form of gameplay, which I guess
you could describe as
being a little bit more akin to the new era.
But he's so incredibly obvious about it
that it's like, "Are you just this oblivious,
"or is this some, like, 3D chess that you're going on here,
where you want us to have this perception of you?"
I-I just can't make sense of it.
So here's the thing.
I'm, like, open-minded. I'm, like, whatever.
-I'm down for whatever you want to do. -Yeah.
Like, whatever you and Cirie...
-'Cause I... -Me too.
-Exactly. -Yeah.
Colby can leave tomorrow.
-Exactly. -Let's get Coach out now.
EMILY: Colby does have an injury
that is seemingly getting worse.
So on one hand, I'm like, "Okay, well, we vote out Coach.
"Maybe this is like a two-birds, one-stone situation
"if Colby is eventually pulled from the game
in a couple of hours."
I mean, why would we vote off somebody
who's just gonna leave the game anyway?
I don't think you got that right.
Coach is not gonna be as impactful to that alliance,
but I'll do whatever.
Emily's argument was that Colby's gonna be,
probably, taken out of the game
because of his foot anyway.
[sucks teeth]
I don't think that's gonna happen,
but you can't tell these young kids nothing.
[laughing] Just like at home, they don't listen.
No. Why? Should I?
Taking Coach instead of Colby
is taking the tail off the snake and not the head.
I'm looking at it from a point of view,
-who is the leader of this -Group.
-aggressive group they trying to get? -Mm-hmm.
-Yeah, it's definitely not Coach. -And what damage
-is gonna happen when the leader is gone? -Mm-hmm.
-Yeah. -Colby runs that group.
DEE: I've been working this game with Cirie.
Cirie's my girl. However,
I'm working with Emity. That's also my girl.
So the question is,
am I voting for Coach or am I voting for Colby?
I want both of them out.
Who's gonna
help me get further along in this game?
Here's what I was thinking.
In one way...
[sighs]
...Coach and I are kind of interchangeable.
You take either one of us out, it's good for your game.
So, what about this?
You save me tonight.
Tomorrow when we merge on that beach...
Mm-hmm.
...I pull the other ones in.
-Mm-hmm. -Stephenie, Chrissy,
Joe, whomever.
And just tell them, with you there,
-with you there, saying... -Yeah. I would appreciate that.
saying, "Dee stuck her neck out for me last night.
"Let's work together.
-"Let's not target Dee. -Mm-hmm.
We got a lot of other targets on this beach."
I can assure you, I have more influence
over them than Coach does.
DEE: I don't know Colby too much, but I really like him.
That's the weird thing about Colby.
I feel like he's sincere,
which is hard to find in this game.
Coach, I think, is so shady.
When he talks strategy, it just doesn't hit for me.
It just feels very opportunistic.
So tonight, for me, it's all about
who can help me progress in this game.
And to be honest, right now, I'm uncertain.
♪ ♪
STEPHENIE: Wow. I'm out of breath.
Same.
STEPHENIE: Unfortunately, we go
from this amazing Applebee's reward,
where we're stuffing our faces,
and we get back to camp,
and the game continues.
I just hiccupped, and then, like, food came out.
So you get to taste it again.
-Yeah. -[laughs]
KAMILLA: The Blood Moon is terrifying.
But I feel like
this group is actually pretty good for me because
me, Tiff and Jonathan all started out
on the same Kalo tribe together.
And on a tribe of five, all we need is three.
When I saw that you and Tiff were on the same thing as me,
I'm like, "Okay, we should be solid for Tribal Council."
Here's the thing. We only need three--
-me, you and Tiff. -And that's it.
I know Tiff is locked in.
Obviously, I'm close with Tiff.
But me and Jonathan kind of have a up-and-down relationship.
I've played this entire game so far with him, but
he was blindsided by the vote
on Cila where we sent Charlie home.
And so I need to make sure he's with me.
-Yeah. -I mean, what do you think?
-We don't need to make it complicated. -No.
Like, this should be easy
'cause I've wanted to do this from day two.
-Yeah. -Are you set?
I'm not doing any funny... funny business.
-We got it. -Yeah.
He's telling me he's on board
with writing Chrissy's name down.
Optimistically, realistically,
it's me, Tiff and Jonathan
that write down Chrissy's name.
So, I think I'm in a good position tonight.
I'm not gonna ask you to lie to me.
I know you guys are gonna vote for me tonight.
I totally get it. Oh, God.
It's okay if you cry.
I really want to leave with all of us being friends.
Yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
And, like, know that, like, none of this is personal.
-Yeah. -Like, this is really just all a game.
Survivor 50 has been
a lot of redemption for me.
It has really helped me heal a lot of old wounds.
All right, Chrissy, what's on your mind?
CHRISSY: And so, when I sit down
with both Kamilla and Tiffany,
I tell them the exact same thing,
which is...
If you vote for me, I know why you do,
-and I don't take it personally. -Okay.
CHRISSY: I let them know
that if tonight is my last night in the game,
I really just want it to go out joyfully.
But I don't think that's gonna happen.
STEPHENIE: All right. What are you thinking?
Jonathan and I and you
are cut from the same cloth.
So, I think it should be Kamilla tonight.
Then, me and you will vote Kamilla.
I'd rather vote Kamilla.
Kamilla talks about people behind their back
and twists words, and she's very sneaky,
and we watched her on 48,
driving the bus, backing up the bus,
driving the bus over the person again.
But it all comes down to Jonathan.
-Mm-hmm. -I'm looking at you right now and telling you,
you have my 1,000% trust.
I made a really strong connection with Jonathan
on the Kalo tribe, and I am hoping
that that still exists.
-You want my pitch? -Yeah.
Those girls are totally using you,
and you know that if you were in the final three,
neither one of them is gonna give you a million dollars.
I know that.
And you know me and you are cut
-from the same cloth. -I know.
-Okay, so... -That makes me so happy.
So, I would much rather vote out Kamilla.
JONATHAN: I think that
I'm caught right in the middle of this five.
Jonathan, I trust you 1,000%.
-I am writing Chrissy's name down tonight. -Yeah.
I want me, you and Kamilla to come back to this beach tonight.
Okay.
The truth is, I wanted to come out here and play different.
And one of the ways I wanted to play a different game was,
I wanted to have the right relationships
for these twists, for this moment.
Everybody's looking at me right in the eyes, going,
-"I trust you 1,000%." -Yeah, I know, but these players--
they'll lie straight to your face
and swear on their parents.
JONATHAN: I'm not a liar, but you have to be
completely fluid in Season 50,
because a lot of people that just have honor and integrity--
they make it to the final three, they get maybe one vote.
So you have to do more.
You got to make some sort of moves in this game to win.
I have a very tough decision to make,
because what's gonna happen is there's gonna be
a line drawn in the sand.
I'm gonna be against a lot of new-school people
if I vote for Kamilla.
-Kamilla. -You're not writing my name down, right?
-No. Are you kidding? -[giggles] Okay, cool, then.
JONATHAN: If I vote
Chrissy, then all
of the old-school players are gonna know,
and they're gonna come after me.
-You know I got you. -I know you do.
JONATHAN: So no matter how I do this,
it's gonna put a target on my back in a big way.
There's no easy way out of this for me.
RICK: I'm scared to death.
Joe is the safe vote tonight,
but Aubry and Christian really want to take out Genevieve.
I get it. It makes sense.
What if we put everything on Genevieve
and she plays some sort of advantage
or plays her Shot in the Dark?
I'm screwed. Because she's definitely coming after me.
Either way, it's gonna be
a bloodbath tonight.
DEE: Tonight, for me, it's not about
taking targets out or big threats.
It's more so about trying to dismantle
the group that's forming that does not include me.
So, Coach--
what he's telling me seems like complete BS.
However, Colby-- he's only talking to me
because he knows he's a sitting duck.
So, I got a decision to make.
But whatever happens, I'm out for blood tonight.
JONATHAN: Right now, we have
old school versus new school.
And tonight is about picking a side.
It's either Chrissy or Kamilla going home.
And regardless of who I pick, I'm cutting off ties
with a lot of people.
And if I make the wrong decision,
it can blow up my game,
and there's no coming back.

If this your first time at Tribal,
get 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.
That will be the case for one of you tonight.
So let's get into it.
The first Tribal Council of the Blood Moon twist.
You can not only feel the Blood Moon.
You can see it reflected on the walls of Tribal Council.
It is hovering tonight,
because one of you will be gone from this game.
So all the awe
is also a lure
into where death happens.
Tiff, we said there's gonna be
a Survivorversion of a blood moon, and it's happening.
This is nuts, Jeff.
I feel like I'm in the middle
of one of my video games that I play.
This is crazy. And ironically,
one of my favorite video games has a blood moon.
When the blood moon happens,
all the monsters that you've already killed
come back out of the ground,
and then they come to, like, kill you.
So, I have never seen anything like this in my life, Jeff.
-I'm shooken. -This is friggin' cool.
-Mm-hmm. -PROBST: All right, so, Tiff,
after Applebee's,
you get to go back to your regular camp
and try to figure out who to vote out.
So, what was the vibe?
Well, for me, personally,
I'm always gonna keep it real.
Everybody's gonna know what's on my mind,
and I'm gonna shoot straight, and that's what I did
at every conversation that I had,
because there's only five of us.
I don't feel like I need to pull no tricks out the bag tonight.
PROBST: Kamilla, if you're at home,
and you're watching--
it's the first Tribal of the Blood Moon--
-Hmm. -what are you saying is the wise move in terms
of this being an opportunity
to get the game heading in the direction you want it to go?
I think the best move for people tonight
is to find a group that they can
navigate this massive merge with.
Talk to the other people, figure out
who they're cool with, who are you cool with, and then,
go with the people who you feel
like you have a path forward with.
PROBST: Jonathan,
where's the opportunity in this massive twist?
Well, Mr. Jeff, this is the Blood Moon,
and I think it's a great time
to draw a line in the sand
and figure out where people stand.
TIFFANY: And just to add on to what Jonathan said,
lines will definitely be drawn tonight,
but I also feel it's very important to remember,
there are people that you might have to answer to.
-Hmm. -The decisions you make tonight are going
to have ripple effects for days to come.
PROBST: Chrissy, that was very ominous.
That's something I would have said.
There's a ripple effect, the Blood Moon.
Yeah, I mean, it's very insightful
and-and true that
what happens tonight
is not just between us five.
The four that go back to camp will have
to answer for how they voted.
PROBST: So, Kamilla, how big a factor is it
that the three people voted out tonight
will not be on the jury?
They will not have a say in this game.
KAMILLA: For me, I'm just thinking,
I would like to have a say if I don't win.
And so this Blood Moon night is huge for me 'cause this is
the one night I want to survive real bad.
PROBST: Chrissy, how do you compartmentalize that?
Not from a strategy standpoint,
just from a player to player?
"I'm sorry, but you're not gonna
have a say in who wins this game."
CHRISSY: I think a lot of us came out of our first
seasons with scars.
And so, yes, we all want to make it to the jury.
But in some sense, coming to 50
was a celebratory season,
and has given us all redemption.
-Mm. -So, I think there's a lot
of other beautiful things about being on 50, too.
PROBST: Jonathan, how do you process it,
knowing one of those torches will be snuffed soon,
and the dream of winning Survivor 50
is over?
JONATHAN: That's the thing, Mr. Jeff.
It's always in the back of our mind: one more day.
You don't want to go home and be kicking yourself
for something you did or didn't do.
But it's hard, Mr. Jeff.
And sometimes it doesn't feel like a celebration.
It feels like chaos.
PROBST: Well, you say it's not celebration, it's chaos.
I would say chaos is celebration.
-Yeah. I like that. Yeah. -For you. -[laughing]
Yeah.
PROBST: All right.
On that note, it is
time to vote. Tiff, you're up.

-Damn. -Time for you to go.
Grab your torches, head back to camp.
We'll bring in the next group.
Feel like my time was so short.
And I got to play with big names, big players.
It was fun running around and lying to people,
and honestly, it was kind of fun getting lied to.
It was nice to be played. [laughs]
♪ ♪
If this is your first time at Tribal,
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.
Sadly, that's gonna be the case tonight for one
of the five of you.
So, Genevieve, what's interesting
about the Blood Moon twist is that
it's exactly the same for three groups,
but the people and the dynamics are all unique.
So what, from your standpoint,
is most impactful about this twist?
Yeah, I think the people
are everything in the group.
And so, what's gonna be most impactful is
what color rock did you draw
and did your friends draw the same color that you did?
Aubry, is it really that simple
that sometimes it's just the timing and Survivorluck,
and that can be the end of your game?
Yeah, I think Survivor is a lot about luck.
But you earn it. And I think part of earning it
is making sure that you have friends
and making sure that you are receptive to people
and that you don't close any doors.
PROBST: Christian, what Aubry's talking about is that
more than anything in the game of Survivor,
it is about relationships.
CHRISTIAN: I mean, it-it's true. You...
you have these relationships you've built
over the course of this season.
And, really, they get put to the test here
because we're in such a tiny group.
And, I mean, seriously, I'm glad I'm wearing immunity.
Otherwise, I worried I'd be applewood-smoked.
[chuckling]
PROBST: Joe, what do you think is most significant
about tonight? Because there's a lot going on.
What stands out to you?
I mean, Jeff, we're making history here
with three Tribal Councils, three people going home.
And we're tired and we're fatigued
and we're hungry.
And there's so much emotion in the game.
I'm trying to compartmentalize each one
of those massively impactful things
that we just got punched in the face with,
so we can all try to make the best decision.
PROBST: Genevieve, there's a strategic component to the fact
that the three people voted out tonight will not be on the jury.
If there's somebody you don't want on the jury
'cause you don't think they'll vote for you,
great opportunity to take 'em out tonight.
GENEVIEVE: Yeah, I think if you have
the luxury of having the numbers to make that decision,
that would be a strategic way to play it. But I think,
for some of us, it's just survive.
Are you talking about yourself?
I think there's definitely lots of people
who are voting for Genevieve tonight.
Part of it is I'm not the type of player
who's number one with everyone.
I'm not, and there's a range
of, "Okay, we can work together short-term," and there's...
and there's the extreme end of the spectrum
of, "Okay, we just can never fit."
But sometimes you know that people
are working together, and there are underlying
webs of relationships
and advantages that
flow between different people in a small group.
PROBST: Wow.
There was a whole lot there.
So, Devens, concern
that if you all have played a game
in which Genevieve is telling the truth
and she believes it's her tonight,
she might play a Shot in the Dark
or an advantage or an idol or something else?
Absolutely. We only hear what she's saying,
and we don't know what she has.
Maybe this is the best smoke screen I've ever seen.
You know? So, yeah, you can listen and listen and listen,
but if you're not
picking up the right thing,
you could be totally blindsided.
PROBST: And Devens, you can't get around
the fact that whoever's voted out tonight
won't have a say in who wins this game.
It doesn't mean that it wasn't important you were here,
but you don't get your stamp on the season.
RICK: Yeah, it's season 50.
You want to be a part of it for as long
and you want to be as big a part of it as you can.
So for all of that to be done,
possibly tonight, I mean,
that is a big thing.
But as the great Keith Nale said, "This ain't a cruise."
You know? If you want to have fun, go on a cruise.
This is Survivor.

Okay.
This is a Shot in the Dark scroll,

that if I didn't win today,
I was gonna be getting my torch snuffed.

If this is your first time at Tribal,
grab a torch, dip it in and get fire.
This is part of the ritual
at Tribal Council, because in this game,
fire still represents your life.
When your fire's gone,
so are you.
Welcome to the final Tribal Council
of the Blood Moon tonight.
First, I got to check in.
Colby, how many years has it been
since you've been at a Tribal Council?
Fifteen years
-since the last time. -PROBST: 15 years.
Coach, how about for you?
-Thirteen or 14. -PROBST: Yeah.
-Long time. -PROBST: Does it feel like
riding a bike in the sense that you're right back in,
or do you feel like you might be out of practice?
COACH: For me, in the past, Tribal Council
has been a little bit joyous.
It's like going to a wedding.
And you get on your rings and your jewelry,
maybe a few feathers in the hair.
But tonight, it feels a little bit different.
I really feel the gravity of it.
It's like a red wedding tonight.
PROBST: Colby, been a long time
-for you, as well. -COLBY: Jeff, the...
the smell of the torches--
it all just comes back immediately.
For me, it's riding a bike.
I love what you've done with the place, by the way.
[laughing]
Epic.
PROBST: Colby, it's interesting because
the first time you played, you made it all the way to the end.
So your bar has been very high from the first time you played.
And now we're talking about the fact
that somebody here will not make the jury.
COLBY: You're right. The bar was set
a quarter of a century ago-- for me, my personal bar--
and I haven't lived up to that in the two times prior.
This one was a little different coming out here,
but the expectation was the same.
I still wanted to compete at the same level
and-and make it as far as I could.
Um, you know,
I've got a target painted on me tonight.
Really?
COLBY: Yeah. I mean, look,
I don't have a vote tonight, and-and because
I don't have a vote and lost that,
that also means I don't have a Shot in the Dark.
So, it's really easy
to just take that person out, right?
But even with the highs and lows, the foot injury,
you know, here we are, 13 days in.
I've had more fun this time than all
-of the other three experiences. -Wow.
Emily, it's really interesting.
Because the game is so complex
and everybody here is so good,
Colby could be telling the truth
that he believes he's going home,
and still, the four of you who are about to vote
aren't really sure if he's going home.
Yeah, I mean, despite how straightforward
I think some people view this vote,
you know, season 50 has taught me
a lot of things. One of which is expect
the unexpected. And so I'm not
willing to bet the farm on that.
CIRIE: Jeff,
it ain't over till the fat lady sings,
Jeff, and I haven't heard any singing yet,
-so... -COLBY: This is making me think
I might actually have a shot.
[laughing]
PROBST: You know, Colby, I'm gonna circle back.
You said you had more fun this time.
Why? What's different?
I came into it with a completely different attitude
and, um, a set of goals for me.
There are certainly days that suck,
especially when you're injured, and you don't have a vote.
Um, but I chose to...
to find the joy in it.
I mean, half of my life, Jeff, has transpired
since the first time I played. Half of my life.
-Wow. -Jeff, I'm in my 50s now,
and they say this is the decade of reflection.
That's truly it. I've...
I've reflected on my life
and how Survivorhas
woven through so much of it.
And so many people in my sphere--
not by one degree of separation--
but I can connect them back to Survivor.
Survivorhas introduced me to so many people in my life
that I love and care about.
And, again, I met people
in this experience that I know I'm gonna be friends
for life with.
And I just... I-I just...
um...
...I just appreciate the opportunity
to come back one more time.
PROBST: You know, Colby, as you were talking,
this is what was going through my mind.
Emily and Dee would not be here
without you, Cirie and Coach.
You are three of the true icons of Survivor.
There's no disputing that.
So I'm listening to you,
and I'm remembering you 25 years ago.
Dee, how old were you when Colby first played,
25 years ago?
-Three. [laughs] -Three years old. [laughs]
PROBST: You were three
when he was out doing this.
DEE: Like you said,
Cirie, Colby, and Coach have
paved the path for the new-era players.
Like, we wouldn't be here without them.
PROBST: Cirie, you played
more days than anybody out here.
So, to hear this talk of legacy,
what are you thinking about?
You know, it's weird, Jeff.
For me, it was 20 years ago,
and I had zero expectation.
I didn't know that I would
pave the way for anybody.
So, I'm honored that
people look up to me
and think that I have, um,
laid a path for them
or-or started a legacy for them.
So, like Colby, I, too,
am, like, so honored
to be thought of in that way.
So, I know exactly how he feels.
[clears throat]
-But it's a game. -It's a game.
And the game must go on.
It's a game.
PROBST: Coach, you always have
some wisdom from the Dragon Slayer.
What are you feeling right now?
COACH: I think this has been a great journey
for a lot of the older players,
because we see that...
you know, we see that we're revered
in some way or another.
And the reason why
I've come out here time and time again is
I just want to inspire somebody.
If it's one person, three people, a tribe,
and I'm humbled to...
to hear people say that
we have left a legacy
and made our mark.
And so, to quote, uh, an ancient samurai proverb,
you know, we make war tonight
with a pure and clean heart.
There's no malice here, there's no...
betrayal.
We're here with clean hearts.
Dee, what's the emotion for you?
I'm just battling with my decisions.
Cirie, Colby and Coach
haven't been back in so long.
And to know that somebody's not making the jury,
they don't even have a say on 50,
it's, like, really sad because it comes
with a lot of feelings of guilt.
And it does also
come down to the rawness
and how rare it is in this game.
When you truly feel--
not even say it, when you
feel somebody's words--
that's how you know, "Oh, my God.
Like, these people might be in my life forever."

Emily, you're up.
