[thunderclaps]
Oh, my God. Dude, you saved my life.
-Yeah, of course. -That was epic.
-XANDER: That was a big one. -Yeah. Yeah.
-That was a-a splash, for sure. -That was a splash.
XANDER: I played my cards right, and I had
a stunning performance that was a good enough bluff
to get Liana to play her advantage.
I have the Knowledge is Power Advantage.
So I just have one question.
Do you have an idol, Xander?
♪
Wow.
XANDER: As much as I've been
playing a loyal game with Yase,
a lot of information has been spilled at this Tribal.
I knew that Xander had the idol before I even met the guy,
and that was because of Evvie.
I thought it was a secret
that everyone was gonna know, and that's why I told him.
But I should have told no one. I just figured,
it was, like, you said it in public,
-so, like, eventually, everyone was gonna know. -Well...
-So I thought... -XANDER: Things that
I wasn't aware of beforehand and that maybe I shouldn't
put so much trust into Evvie and Tiffany.
LIANA: I played
the Knowledge is Power Advantage tonight, and
I got played.
If "Survivor" was a verb, like, Survivor happened to me.
But, also, I literally just turned my back on my Yase tribe,
and I'm putting faith and trust in completely new people.
And my relationship with Evvie from this is fractured.
[thunder crackling]
You and I have really wanted to work together.
-I know, from... -And have been wanting to work together.
-Absolutely. -EVVIE: Just so lucky
to be here 'cause I was one vote away
from going home, but
the relationship with Liana is definitely the biggest sad note.
Liana is the person out here that I, like,
connected to 100% the most.
No, no, I-I appreciate it. I really...
But I just want to say, on a personal level,
-we're .... -I know.
EVVIE: I can't see how we could ever get back to what we were.
It's pretty hard to think
that I could, like, really trust her in the game again.
-[thunderclaps] -Oh...
EVVIE: I'm happy for you
-that you're still here, and I'm sorry... -Yeah.
-that it ended up, like, that way. -Yeah.
And-and I just wanted to let you know, like, I'm not expecting us
to be back where we were. You know what I mean?
Like, I totally understand, like...
-Here's the thing, Evvie. -Yeah. Yeah, yeah.
Like, I know that things flip all the time.
Yeah, yeah.
I'm really on a relationship recovery tour because
the reality is I was definitely playing too hard.
I can admit when I make a mistake.
I am way on the low part of the diamond's hierarchy here.
So as an anthropologist, you might
see me, the low-dominance individual,
cautiously approaching the group of higher-ranking individuals
and testing the waters.
You know, see if I'm allowed in.
It's that horrible feeling of,
like, you're in high school, and
everyone's at the table, and they don't want you
to come over, but, like, what are you supposed
to do with your lunch tray?
Uh, it was so awkward.
-EVVIE: Right, right. -And...
EVVIE: Yeah.
What has happened to poor little Yase?
-The little Yase turtles. -Yes, that way.
-EVVIE: Good job! -ALL: Yay!
We had such a cute little story going
where we were just like those little turtles.
Everyone counted us out, but we just never gave up, and then
the four of us were winning challenges together,
-and it was in a good place. -[cheering]
But the reality is, Yase was pulled in every direction,
and I think we're done.
Evvie had a final with you, she had a final with him,
and she had a final with me, so...
I'm really glad it happened this early,
because now I'm going to work with everyone.
EVVIE: I'm open
to working with anyone.
Whoever needs me, I'm here.
Even though, last night, it seemed like it was a Yase three,
I don't even think that exists anymore 'cause we know,
so obviously,
we're all at the bottom.
You have to keep it from Evvie and Tiff.
Let me know who, and I'll write their name down.
TIFFANY: I love Evvie. She's my girl...
TIFFANY: At this point, I'm gonna use
whoever, whenever, however,
to get me as far as I can get.
I'm not here for Evvie. I'm here for me.
LIANA: Tiff is talking to everybody, Yase is scrambling,
to put it quite simple.
Any little opportunity I can get
to make people want to work with me,
that's gold.
I feel like very much
like a free agent, you know?
They tried.
The three Yases coming to me after having voted for me
and then telling me they want to work with me
in some capacity. No.
-It's so... it's so apparent. -You think you're playing with idiots,
-but we're not. We see it. Like... -Yeah.
DESHAWN: I was like... I know.
It's not gonna happen. I'm not a fool.
I will not be working with any of the three of you.
I want to see you guys go one by one by one.
♪
All right, it's been a while since we've hidden an advantage
at a sit-out bench, and we do this
not just to keep the game unpredictable,
but also to remind players that sometimes when you think
you're on the outside, you're exactly where you want to be.
But it only works for the smart player who is always looking
for opportunity.
We'll see.
Bring in the boats!
-Hello. -Morning, Jeff.
-Hello. -Hello.
Even getting here is a challenge.
All right, let's get to today's reward challenge.
-Ooh. -For today's challenge,
you'll be randomly divided into two teams of five.
One player will not participate and will have no shot at reward.
On my go, you're gonna leap
off the top of a ramp,
dive down and release puzzle pieces.
You'll put 'em in your boat.
Once you have all your puzzle pieces
and all your players in the boat, you'll pull yourself
to the finish, where two players will use those puzzle pieces
to solve a pyramid puzzle.
First five to finish win reward.
Want to know what you're playing for?
-ALL: Yes. -XANDER: Sure.
Grilled cheese back at camp.
Oh.
-Ooh. -PROBST: Losers will smell
a grilled cheese back at camp
-being eaten by somebody else. -All right.
Worth playing for?
-ALL: Yes. -All right, we're gonna draw for teams.
Here we go. We got two colors and one not good color.
-[groaning] -Won't be participating.
ERIKA: I hate these bags.
-All right. -I'm scared of these bags now.
I am, too. I'm so scared of 'em.
-I know. -[laughs]
All right, everybody, put your palms out,
-turn 'em over and reveal. -Oh. -Oh.
-If you are blue, go to blue. -Oh, no way. -No way.
PROBST: If you are yellow, go to yellow.
-[laughing] -If you're neither blue nor yellow...
Once again, Erika with the odd rock.
-Very... We're all sorry. Yeah. -I hate these bags.
You're in the middle here.
-I'm sorry. -Oh, my gosh. -PROBST: On the orange.
-I hate these bags. -XANDER: Erika.
PROBST: Wow. Erika,
once again, you drew the rock.
You will not participate.
You will be on the sit-out bench.
Hold on, Jeff. Uh, Erika's already
had her chance to draw the, uh, gray rock, and...
Oh, you do not need to do this.
I think she's, you know, great at puzzles, and she's probably
-hungry after Exile, so... -Oh, my God.
-...I'll give up my spot for her. -PROBST: So, Xander,
you're saying you want to give up your shot at food?
-XANDER: Yeah, yeah, yeah. -Because you will not have it
if you take her spot.
XANDER: That's right, yeah.
-Xander, swap spots with Erika. -XANDER: Of course.
-Oh. Thank you. -Interesting turn of events
-that I would not have seen coming. -[Erika laughs]
Give you a minute to strategize. We'll get started.
That's why I love this game.
All right, Xander opted to take
the sit-out, gave up grilled cheese.
Here we go.
For reward. Survivors, ready.
Come on, Liana. Black girl magic.
-Go! Liana's in first. -Go, Liana! You got this!
-And Ricard's in first. -SHAN: There you go, Liana.
[indistinct, overlapping chatter]
-ERIKA: Let's go, Ricard! -[clapping]
-DANNY: Yeah! -Yeah! -[cheering]
PROBST: Big leap for both.
You got to dive down now
and release that first set of puzzle pieces.
Liana has hers!
-Ricard has it for Blue! -ERIKA: Yes, Ricard!
EVVIE: Behind you! Behind you!
-DESHAWN: Behind you. There you go. -ERIKA: You got it, Ricard.
We're in this. Let's go.
-Go, yellow! -Go, Liana!
PROBST: It's Shan in the water.
TIFFANY: Go ahead, Shan! Let's go, Shan!
NASEER: Keep going. Great, great. You're doing great!
DANNY: There you go, Ricard!
-Go, Blue! It's now Danny... -Go, Danny!
-in the water. Here goes Shan. -TIFFANY: Yeah, Shan!
She's in, plugging the nose, whatever it takes.
-TIFFANY: Yeah. -HEATHER: Yeah, Shanny! -PROBST: Shan releases
-the puzzle pieces. -Whoa. Yup.
Danny in the water now for Blue!
Danny quickly releases the second set of puzzle pieces
for Blue.
-Go, yellow! Heather for yellow! -Go, go, go, go, go, go.
-Come on, Heather. You got this! -Go, blue!
It's Deshawn in the water now.
-[indistinct shouting] -No more puzzle pieces left.
Now it's just bodies. You got to get to the boat.
SHAN: Come on, Heather!
-Got it. Right here. -Good job, Heather.
We got you, Heather.
Go, blue!
It's now Erika in the water.
Heather's got to get pulled up.
-Go, yellow! It's now Tiffany in the water. -Go.
Oh! Wow.
-Here goes Tiffany. -[cheering]
Come on in. Right here, right here, right here.
-Go, blue! Go, yellow! -Here you go.
The final members of each team. Naseer. Wow!
DANNY: There we go! Yeah!
PROBST: Naseer is going 100%.
You're good. Unclip.
Up, up, up, up. Yeah.
-I got it. Yeah. -Okay. -PROBST: Unclip!
-Got it. -Go, go, go! -PROBST: Yellow is unclipped.
-Working hard for that grilled cheese. -Go, go, go, go.
-PROBST: Now you're good. -[overlapping chatter]
SHAN: Go! Naseer, go!
-Need to get out. -[grunting]
Get off and get your puzzle pieces and get to work.
Two people on the puzzle.
Reward on the line.
It's gonna be Erika and Evvie.
-You're building a pyramid puzzle. -Yeah.
Wow, Evvie very quickly is taking over this puzzle.
-Jeff! Jeff! -Jeff, Jeff, Jeff, Jeff!
Unbelievable.
[cheering]
Blue wins reward!
Wow.
That's how you do it! That's how you do it!
Evvie, you knew that puzzle.
I remember watching this on Edge of Extinction.
I remember that tribe sucking so bad.
And then they pulled out this puzzle, and I was like,
"I can make that puzzle out of beads in my house," and I did.
-And it paid off. -PROBST: That is what
research and practice gets you.
Lesson to you future Survivorplayers.
That's how you do it right there.
All right, waiting for you back at camp: grilled cheese.
Tiffany, Naseer, Shan, Liana, Heather,
nothing for you.
Xander, you can come join them.
Everybody, swim out. Enjoy your afternoon.
♪
I don't know if he looked, but he didn't find it.
Missed opportunity.
♪
Oh, my God. Oh.
ERIKA: For the last ten days,
all I've talked about is how I wanted a sandwich with chips.
So when I see a pile of grilled cheese sandwiches and a massive
bowl of chips, I was like, "Maybe I manifested
this reward."
DESHAWN: Let's eat everything.
-DANNY: Yeah. -EVVIE: Yeah. Good job.
TIFFANY: It was really insane.
Almost every single player
that was with me on the last challenge
was with me once again.
We were not stacked, and again we lost.
It was annoying as hell to me
because I haven't eaten.
I'm 47 years old. Feed me already.
This looks so good. [laughs]
-It just seemed like... -You guys okay?
Yeah.
SHAN: This game is,
I feel like, breaking me down sometimes.
I feel very frustrated because I lost the merge feast,
and then we lost this reward.
Like, it definitely was very emotional because
we all feel very, very hungry.
Come on, Liana, don't cry.
-Like, I might seriously cry. -I just wanted to know
you weren't the only one. It's hard.
-This is pretty. -Like an old hangout.
Never been here before. Oh, my God.
Look at this feast here.
-DANNY: Oh, man. -EVVIE: That is so good.
-That's pretty damn good. -I know. Ooh.
This is a better sandwich than I was expecting.
The people with more calories
can obviously do
a little bit more, and that was
very frustrating for me.
You're showing us that you're sad.
I know it. I'm sorry. Like...
I'm just really hungry, so...
-No, no. -SHAN: But I just told
myself, "You know what?
Put food out of your mind completely."
I'm here to win.
The cry gave me clarity.
It gave me perspective.
-I want Evvie to just go. -LIANA: To disappear.
SHAN: Evvie, to me, is probably
one of the biggest threats in the game.
She's strategic, she's a superfan.
Did you see her with the puzzle today?
She's dangerous.
So the plan is to really get in front of
some of the people that I've aligned with and
tell them that this is the direction
that the vote needs to go.
I want to get out so many people,
-but I want to start with Evvie. -Okay, I'm ready.
So, we were thinking I would love to get out Evvie.
XANDER: Part of the reason why I chose
the sit-out bench is because
I love being with the losers.
It leaves people pretty emotional.
It leaves people pretty raw, and I need allies.
I've got no one to work with right now.
After everything that's come out, like...
And she played you. She was like,
"I got my little brother here."
And it, like, it really hurt
to realize that she'd, like, just been
playing me like everybody else.
LIANA: Xander was someone that I wanted out
from the very beginning, and now he's somebody that
I'm considering working with, and
I think, you know,
the bestSurvivor players have had to do that.
So...
Wait. Catch.
We lost the reward challenge, so what next?
Move on. Find some different food.
If you stick there, start crying, get emotional,
you're ruining your day.
Three papayas.
I can eat steak when I get home.
My daughter will make
grilled cheese.
Thank you so much.
Hey, this is so good.
[overlapping chatter]
RICARD: What on earth is all that? Papaya?
We have papaya. Like, ripe papaya.
-We just ate papaya. -LIANA: Yeah.
-RICARD: Where'd you find it? -SHAN: Naseer found it.
I'm gonna try one bite. Try one bite.
I want to try the papaya.
-Really? -Really, son.
You just ate, and you just..
SHAN: So we're the losers.
We haven't eaten any grilled cheese.
And then Ricard comes in, and he's like,
"Ooh, I just want to try a little piece."
SHAN: I feel like that was really selfish.
Like, we have not eaten, and I don't care
if it's a freaking piece of the inch of the...
like a centimeter, millimeter of the papaya. Don't touch it.
I was so bothered when he took a piece of the papaya.
Dude, you just ate a freaking
grilled cheese sandwich and chips.
He's my number one, but,
honestly, those moments really do change
and pivot the direction of the game.
That's character. Your belly is full.
You're at the height of... You're feeling good,
and in that moment, you still choose to, you know, take
from people on the bottom who are losing.
-Yeah. -Okay.
How good is the papaya?
RICARD: What's difficult with these reward challenges
is there seems to be this divide
that I've never seen as a fan from home,
of if you go on a reward,
you're expected not to eat anything else that day.
And, you know, all the food that comes from the island
is our tribe's food, and I try a bite,
and I get snapped at
because I won a reward.
I don't like that.
RICARD: Shan's had no food, no merge feast, nothing, and
the game player in me is really concerned
that she'll resent me for getting everything in her eyes,
and so I'm hoping it doesn't mess up our future alliance.
♪
Come on in.
All right, let's get to today's immunity challenge.
First things first. Ricard, got to take it back.
Thank you.
Once again, immunity is back up for grabs.
For today's challenge,
you're gonna balance on your toes
with a block of wood wedged between your head
and the top of a frame.
The longer the challenge goes, the more fatigued
your legs will become.
When they finally give out, the block will drop,
and you're out of the challenge.
Last person left standing wins immunity,
guaranteed a spot in the final ten.
Losers, Tribal Council where somebody will be
voted out of this game.
So it's day 16.
Up until now, you've been living on very little: hermit crabs,
small fish.
Who's sick of coconut?
So, two options for you today.
If any individual player
feels they're safe enough in the game,
or doesn't feel they can win this challenge, you can opt out
in exchange...
for a single portion of rice.
Doesn't seem like much, but, Tiffany, out here...
-It's a lot. Yeah. -HEATHER: It's a lot. -PROBST: It's a lot.
Option two.
If, as a group, you want to offer up
-multiple people to sit out of this challenge... -Hmm.
-...give up their shot at immunity. -HEATHER: Oh.
Enough rice...
-for everybody for three days. -TIFFANY: Ooh.
How many is multiple?
Well, that's what we're negotiating.
I'm the one putting up the item.
You need to make the first offer.
-How many people do you need to give up, Jeff? -HANNAH: Yeah.
-Offer a number. -What about two people?
-Three? -I'll take seven.
-TIFFANY: Whoa. -NASEER: Whoa. -[Xander whistles]
-Are we negotiating or what? -SHAN: All right, I'll give you...
-HEATHER: Five. -...five people.
-Done. -HEATHER: Really? -Any five?
PROBST: Done at five. Fair deal.
SHAN: For all of us to eat for three days?
-I'll step out. -PROBST: Need four more.
Or else we're all playing.
I need to play.
-Here's Naseer. -Wow. Thank you.
What's fascinating to me about this
is that the stages of the game are not clear.
Yes, you're in the individual portion,
but you're still relying on each other.
You're asking yourselves,
"Do I trust this group enough that if I sacrificed,
they will not vote me out tonight?"
Nobody?
If no one else is willing to step up,
-then I want to compete. -Yeah.
Jeff, what about four?
One more person steps up,
I'll step up in the fourth place.
You got a deal.
Here's why I'll renegotiate.
Because I believe now, watching you,
you are understanding how dangerous this game is,
and you are petrified to give it up.
This feels like a great compromise.
There's our fourth. We've got a deal.
Xander, Ricard, Shan and Naseer
are gonna sit out of this challenge
in exchange for rice for the entire group.
-Take a spot on the bench. -Thank you.
-Thanks, guys. -Thank you so much.
PROBST: Question is: Is there enough trust to make this work?
Let's get started.
All right, everybody, get into position.
Put your blocks above your head, wedge them in against the frame.
You can still hold on right now until you get situated,
and once everybody's in there, we're gonna start.
Everybody's in position, and we're gonna let go.
This challenge is on.
Deshawn is out within seconds.
Erika's out. Two are down.
Tiffany, you're out, and we are down to four.
That happens in this challenge.
-It's okay. -PROBST: Just like that,
we are down to Liana, Danny,
Heather and Evvie.
You're gonna start feeling it very quickly
in your legs.
[wood creaking]
It's another pain threshold challenge.
The longest it has gone
is one hour, 22 minutes.
-Dang. -Spencer.
Danny drops, and we are down to three.
-Wow. -PROBST: Liana,
Heather and Evvie.
[wood creaking]
Part of the early drops certainly has to do
with the lack of calories in your body over 16 days.
You simply don't have the fuel to do things
that you could normally do.
PROBST: Liana drops, and we are down to two.
We are three minutes into this challenge,
and already down to two players.
♪
This is it-- a showdown.
Neither one of you two offered to sit out,
which tells me you feel you need this.
You are fighting for your security tonight
at Tribal Council.
[insects buzzing]
-[wood creaking] -These are the kind of moments
you hope to find yourself in
when you sign up for this adventure.
Come on, Mama H. I see you.
You got to dig right now.
And Evvie--
legs shaking on that beam.
Oh.
Heather drops. Evvie wins individual immunity.
Cannot be voted out at tonight's Tribal Council.
-ERIKA: Nice job, Evvie. -Nice job, Evvie.
Wow. Shortest this challenge has ever gone.
Barely four minutes.
TIFFANY: Good job, Evvie.
-LIANA: Good job. -Nice job, Evvie.
PROBST: Evvie, come on over.
-Thanks, guys. -Good job, Evvie. Nice job.
PROBST: Right here. So what's this feel like?
I know this is something for you.
Just incredibly surreal. Like, I never, ever,
ever thought I would win individual immunity, so,
you know, pinch me or something. I-I don't know.
-Doesn't feel real. -It's real.
Okay, it's real. [chuckles]
-You are safe tonight. -Thank you.
You're guaranteed a spot in the final ten.
You aren't going home tonight. Somebody else is.
Good news is,
-before Tribal, you will eat. -Yay.
-Congratulations. -Thanks, Jeff. -[clapping]
Grab your stuff, head back to camp.
See you tonight at Tribal Council.
EVVIE: In my real life,
I feel very blessed to have a lot of support, you know?
But, like, out here, I had really no support,
and I just did it, and I am very positive
that I needed it today.
Sorry, guys.
Foiled you again.
♪
-Good job. -Great job. -Good job, Evvie.
-Good job, Evvie. Good job. -Thank you.
LIANA: We had a whole plan set on voting Evvie, and that was
gonna be how me and Xander worked together
for the first time-- if Evvie lost.
TIFFANY: Thank you for the rice, guys.
-Yeah. -LIANA: But now, what I want
to see happen tonight is I want
to see Xander play his idol unnecessarily, and then
-Tiff to go home. -LIANA: Thank you for making
that good compromise, 'cause Jeff bought it at least.
-So, it would've sucked if we didn't have any rice. -Yeah.
And Tiff, right?
-It's the only, like, option. -Yeah.
-LIANA: If those two things
happen, then Xander and Evvie
are now on the bottom, and Xander doesn't have any power.
And there's two idols left in the game,
being Naseer and Shan's.
SHAN: Evvie has immunity.
-So is it easy? -I think it's easy.
Between...
And Tiff.
Yeah.
-Even one play the idol? -How do you feel about that?
-Yeah, th-that's fine. -Fine.
-My goal is to flush Xander's idol. -Yeah.
Okay.
NASEER: So we're gonna split the vote
to Tiffany and Xander.
But I'm hoping to hang on
my hidden immunity idol tonight
because I trust Shan and Ricard.
-Yeah. Yeah. -That's it. -All right.
NASEER: So, I feel safe because either way,
I have the numbers, plus, I have the hidden immunity.
I'm not going home today.
Xander's more dangerous.
He's the only question mark right now.
We don't know what yellow's doing.
They're acting like they're divided.
What I threw out was
let's split it between Naseer and Tiff.
-I love it. -Then nobody...
And here's the thing, dude.
Like, after tonight, or the next vote, Naseer is
gonna know he's on the chopping block.
Right now, he feels comfortable.
You guys, Xander is a threat.
-I'm telling you. -They're both threats.
Xander's a bigger threat than Naseer.
I don't think you know that.
And Xander and Tiffany and Evvie working together is
a bigger threat. I'm telling you.
We know what they have in their pockets.
Xander has an extra vote and the idol.
DESHAWN: I was quite pissed at Shan because we even
utter Naseer's name, and you shut it down.
That's not gonna work for me, Miss Ma'am.
Like, you need to listen to what I have to say.
Naseer is a number in our pocket right now
to take care of everybody else so we four get to the end.
Xander is not a number in our pocket.
DESHAWN: If we don't fix this, then there's gonna
come a time where I'm like,
-"Shan's got to go." -[squawking]
We got to communicate better
because I don't do well when, like, people
tell me what to do, and then there's no, like...
Like, you're not absorbing my opinion, too, and...
-Help me understand, so... -Okay.
-Tell me so I can learn, 'cause I don't know. -Okay.
So tell me, when did you feel like
I was not absorbing your opinion?
-Okay, so when we were on the beach, and I came up... -Mm-hmm.
...just to say, like, possibly it being Naseer, just possibly,
like, you... It was like, "No." I need to know
that you're gonna actually listen to my opinion, too.
-Hear you out? -And that's all I'm asking, please.
Okay. But I do want to hear you,
-and your voice does matter to me. -Mm.
So, like, I will listen to you more.
I see the argument for Naseer,
but I-I want Naseer around,
specifically because Naseer helps provide
for the camp, and to me, Naseer is not that dangerous right now.
Naseer is loyal. I can use that right now.
-I love you. I love you. -I love you, too.
Deshawn has a moment where he feels like
he hasn't been fully heard, so I have to make sure
he feels fully heard as a man.
But my gameplay is social,
and so, I need to be the one that's able to move the needle.
-Okay, so Xander has an idol, so we want... -Yeah.
-...to flush his idol tonight and vote Tiffany. -Mm-hmm.
-Oh, Xander's coming. -So we're gonna tell him that soon?
-Naseer. -So, you... you'll tell Naseer?
All the while making everyone feel heard
and feel like their opinions matter.
Let's keep it simple: Naseer.
I think we just concentrate our efforts
on Naseer tonight 'cause he's got the idol.
That's what I do as a pastor.
I take into consideration all the information.
There's a lot of members. They got a lot of thoughts
about this potluck, this evangelistic idea,
this trip they want to take. Then I got
to hear it all, and I've got to convince them that still
my way is the best way.
So...
I know.
We shouldn't switch it.
Okay, okay, okay, okay.
Heather. Heather.
XANDER: The first names that I hear are Naseer
and Tiffany, and now that it's Heather, it's
put my, uh, you know, my betraydar on.
XANDER: So right now, I'm in debugging mode,
and I'm searching through the code,
scouring for that one stupid error
that's causing all my problems.
-Who do you think it is? -I thought it was me.
Wait a minute.
Okay.
I think it's me.
I, Tiffany, do not know what the plan is,
and that's not a good feeling.
I mean, I want to stay tonight really badly,
and I don't know how I'm gonna do it.
-You think it's me? -It could be.
TIFFANY: I am going into this Tribal working with anybody
who wants to work with me, including
crew and anybody else who might want to come out and help me.
If I go rogue, then it's gonna be a ... show.
I don't care who you are.
Join forces, jump on in. If there's
a crab that wants to vote tonight, it can come with me.
ERIKA: Xander asked
-what the plan was. -Uh-huh.
And then Shan said, "Naseer and Heather."
Someone had said that we're saying...
So what if he puts my name down and they both play idols?
Then I'm ....
-No. -Yeah.
Shan is, one,
definitely taken on the role of telling everybody what to do.
-And I don't trust her. -Who's the backup?
HEATHER: You already told him me.
My name should never have been
-brought in th-- for this. -It shouldn't, but you're looking
at me like I was the only one. It's not that I just
threw your name. It was that other people
were saying your name, as well, Heather. It wasn't just me.
But wouldn't it be nice to come to me and say, "Hey, we're gonna
-do this"? -Yeah, that was the plan. That was the plan.
I just passed on what I heard said. That's all it was.
HEATHER: InSurvivor, you're always taught, "We never want
"to get back someone that their name was said
because all ... hits the fan."
♪
SHAN: I feel nervous going into Tribal because
everybody's just nuts, it's a hot steaming mess, and so,
there's a ton of things that could go wrong tonight.
All the advantages are at play, the Shot in the Dark
is at play.
You know, the idols could come out.
Best laid plans never work out.
So right now, I need a prayer maybe for Tribal Council.
♪
PROBST: All right, so food has been
a big issue the last few days.
Part of that is because the new Survivor
is designed to see how it will impact you
cognitively and physically,
and we're seeing that play out.
So, Shan, we get to the immunity challenge.
You're the first person to step up, willing to risk.
-Yeah. -Was it because you're starving, or were you doing that
-on behalf of the group? -Yeah, I think my pastoral,
like, heart just kind of came through, and I just
wanted us all to be able to eat. I don't care
who gets the credit for it. It took four of us to do it.
I just wanted us to be able to eat.
Xander, the negotiation was about to fall apart.
You open it back up again and say,
"How about four, and I'll be the one more?"
-Was a big move. -XANDER: Yeah, I mean,
we really don't have anything,
and some people it's wearing a lot thinner than others.
I wanted to prove to my tribe that I was willing
to sacrifice immunity so that the people
who haven't gotten as fortunate with rock draws
-could eat something. -PROBST: Naseer,
you stepped up, as well, and gave up your shot.
When you say like, "This is for the entire tribe,"
my heart is immediately...
I did not think even the cha... about the challenge.
Even though I practiced for that particular challenge,
since I have flat feet, and I have chicken legs, too.
[laughing]: So...
I know I could have won that challenge,
but still, when it comes to tribe,
yes, I'd rather take care of my tribe.
-Heather, you competed. Why? -Because I am scared.
I'm not ready to go home, and I feel like I'm on the bottom,
and I didn't feel secure, and so,
I want to get there and give it a shot.
PROBST: Tiffany, you didn't sit out today.
-Why? -Also not comfortable a hundred percent.
There are five Luvu left.
Then there's a whole nother group, and then there's, like,
two or three people that are not told anything.
That seems to be what happens.
People feel comfort in numbers, but...
I don't know. This is Survivor,
so you got to rock the boat a little bit.
PROBST: Danny,
are you closer to confident you're okay,
or closer to, "I'm not sure I'm okay"?
DANNY: Based on last Tribal Council,
not really sure.
Uh, things changed really, really fast, and I think
we're just at the beginning of this one, so we have no idea
what type of fireworks
-are about to get started. -Wow. -Yeah.
Shan, is that real that you guys are sitting here going,
"I have no idea. This may explode"?
Yeah, I'm just waiting for a comment to drop
and someone to stand up and start whispering.
Really? So you think this group-- even though you look
fairly composed to me--
-under the water... -SHAN: Yeah.
-Mm-hmm. -Give it a minute. -Yeah.
-PROBST: Evvie, what am I missing? -I mean, you're definitely
asking the wrong person, Jeff, 'cause literally,
not a single person told me who to vote for today.
I mean, I know that there's plans afoot, but
-no one told them to me, so... -DANNY: Jeff? Jeff?
Let me help paint the picture for you, okay?
-Thank you, Danny. -DANNY: So, last Tribal,
there's a big theatrical moment from Tiff, Evvie and Xander.
Next morning, all of a sudden, they're going
to everybody saying, "I'm ready to turn. I'm mad."
So now everybody's wondering, is it still big theatrics,
are they really disliking each other,
or are they really willing to go against everybody else?
Because if you fall for it twice, then it's your fault.
But the reality is, you saw me literally begging Tiffany
to play the idol, and Xander told her not to.
And the only reason I'm still here
-is because Sydney played her Shot in the Dark. -Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm.
-Mm-hmm. That's fair. -Like, for real,
they were gonna let me die.
Honestly, we're one, two, three individuals.
Like, that-that's the reality.
[laughs]
ERIKA: Jeff, I think that,
because it's so hard here, I feel like we're all
off-balance, we all met just a few days ago.
And these three we thought were together, but now
we don't know if they're together. And I feel like,
even if you're here and you have a plan for how
you're going to vote, it's still like a leap of faith
because we don't actually know who's with who.
PROBST: All right, there anything that
needs to be said before we vote?
Feel like I have to ask this group, 'cause you're all
-clearly... on edge. -[laughter]
-Yeah. -PROBST: All right.
It is... time... to... vote.
-Ricard, you're up. -Oh.
-PROBST: Hang... -HEATHER: What? We don't get to talk?
DANNY: Oh. [laughs]
-Oh, I thought we could talk. -PROBST: Well...
Well, you can, but we just... Okay.
You can do whatever you want, but, Heather,
I couldn't have gone any slower with
-"It is time to..." -HEATHER: Okay. But-but
-can we kind of whisper something right now? -Yeah.
-Okay. -It's your tribe.
Yeah. All right.
Wait.
♪
PROBST: Wow. Once again,
-confused faces. -HEATHER: Sorry.
-Just one second. -Oh, my God.
Wow.
Yeah.
You know what?
Okay.
-Evvie, Evvie, come here. -Evvie, Evvie, come here.
-Come here. -Please.
Yes.
-Heather's name. -I'm fine with that.
-I'm so fine with that. I don't get it. -Okay.
SHAN: What are we gonna do right now?
'Cause that was crazy.
-Yeah. -SHAN: D, what do...?
-Come here. -I'm cool. Let's do it.
-Come here. No, come... -We don't need to talk.
-No, we should. -D, let's talk. -For real?
For real? Let's do it. Let's do it.
Deshawn says, "Let's vote."
No. No, no, no, no, no.
-Shan. -Okay. All right, so come to... Okay, but, so then
come to the circle and just talk to all...
-I'm not shut... -You just did. You...
I'm telling you, come to the circle.
-Then come to the circle. -I told you I... We're...
-But I don't want to... -We'll talk about it.
I don't... Deshawn's not down.
We'll talk about-- I'm doing it. Let's do it.
I love it.
Wow.
SHAN: I'm saying, Jeff,
this is Season 41. Drop the four, hit the one.
Ain't nobody ever seen anything like this before.
-[laughter] -Not only are we trying to work a plan.
It's group therapy at the same time.
-Mm. -And it... and it honestly is
'cause I'm learning how to talk to
different people the way that they need to be heard.
All that stuff matters, so,
it is a different caliber of game right now.
So is it time to vote?
-Yes. -Yes. -Please.
All right, Ricard, you're up.
♪
I'll go tally the votes.
♪
If anybody has an advantage
or an idol, and you want to play it,
now would be the time to do so.
All right, I'll read the votes.
First vote: Xander.
Xander. Two votes Xander.
Heather.
Heather. Two votes Xander, two votes Heather.
Naseer.
Tiffany.
We're tied again. Two votes Heather,
two votes Xander, two votes Tiffany,
one vote Naseer.
That's three votes Tiffany.
Tiffany.
That's four votes Tiffany.
Eighth person voted out and the first member of our jury.
Tiffany, that's five. That's enough.
Need to bring me your torch.
-Love you, Tiff. -Love you, guys.
SHAN: Love you, Tiff.
-Love you, Tiff. -Love you, Tiff. Thanks.
Tiffany, the tribe has spoken.
Thanks.
Time for you to go.
-Bye, Tiff. -Good luck, guys. -Love you.
Love you.
Grab your torches. Head back to camp.
Good night.
♪
XANDER: It's perfect that they're fighting
with each other.
-I will cast the extra vote. -No!
It has to be her way all the time.
Why am I bending backwards for this dude?
She don't be making sense.
Shan is starting to piss me off a lot.
EVVIE: There were fireworks,
and things are gonna shake up around here.
It was a... such a terrible move.
There are three people sitting with idols,
which is ridiculous that I was voted out.
It's gonna bite them all.
They're playing a safe game,
and I just wasn't willing to play the safe game.
But I'm so grateful I got to play.
It was nothing you'd ever think you were gonna experience,
and it's a once-in-a-lifetime, so I can't really be that upset.
And I can't wait to be the first member of the jury.
