♪ ♪
It's been a very long night.
I'm not really up for discussing all the ins and outs.
I'd prefer to do that when we wake up or soon thereafter.
Tribal Council was a disaster, I would say, for me.
I made the decision to trust Chanelle
as my number one alliance member,
and the trust wasn't really reciprocated.
When it came time to potentially go to rocks,
and we needed to convince Hai
to vote for Lydia, she didn't really have my bac.
And I feel like
I've just totally...
totally screwed everything up.
CHANELLE: I respect that, uh, Daniel, you want
to talk to them tomorrow privately, and that's fine.
For me, I have a different approach,
and I just want to put it out here now.
I'm a little disappointed
that you said, "Chanelle blindsided me."
I didn't vote. I didn't even say anything at Tribal,
so I don't even think that's fair.
Tonight at Tribal, Daniel threw me under the bus, saying,
"Chanelle blindsided me and backstabbed me,"
which I was a little confused about because
I didn't do anything
to, like, change the plan.
Was it my idea to get Lydia out?
Nah, sure. But, uh, I can't admit to that because...
then that would ruin my game.
But Daniel did come up to me and said, "Mike has an idol,
and he doesn't have a vote at Tribal Council."
Daniel told that to me.
You blew up your game, and then you turn...
I don't... I mean, I don't know.
I'm just telling you what Daniel told me.
HAI: I appreciate both of your inputs.
For me right now, even though the vote went my way,
I'm feeling blindsided
by literally everyone except poor Lydia,
who just went through hell.
I apparently did not know where your games were,
but, hey, props to you. Please don't think
-I'm mad at anyone. It's Survivor. -Nah.
But I owe Mike a lot of explanations.
Not only was Jenny blindsided.
Mike was blindsided.
Chanelle and Daniel were both blindsided because they thought
I was voting the way they told me.
Everyone at our Tribal was blindsided.
Chanelle and Daniel told me to write your name down.
They wanted to split the vote-- you and Jenny.
And you know what I did?
I got to the booth, and I felt uneasy about it,
so I wrote Jenny's name down.
Daniel was so assertive
in the fact that we could not go to rocks.
I really do not want to draw rocks.
HAI: This man is a lawyer.
He can talk circles around us.
But at that point, I knew
I could shift the game in my favor.
I'm not changing my vote.
Daniel folded like a ton of bricks.
That man has literally no backbone. None.
Daniel and Chanelle are going to turn on each other.
-Yeah. -Which is fine because they're two snakes.
-And I thought I could trust them. -Well, I'm gonna
tell you right now. I'm gonna tell you right now.
-And I hope this is between me and you. -Yeah.
At this moment, Daniel is way down on my list.
-Yeah. -After what he pulled tonight.
Daniel absolutely lost my trust. He was going behind my back,
making other alliances, and telling secrets I told him.
But you know what? That's in the past.
What I need to do
is move forward.
I got to adapt.
Either I adapt, or I'm a dinosaur.
Can you work with Lydia and I? 'Cause we...
Of course. I love Lydia.
-We're together. -Yeah.
-It's done. -Okay.
I give you my word.
I'm in survival mode now.
There ain't no kumbaya.
The "K" left the "kumbaya."
The "umba," everything left.
There is no kumbaya. It's like holy crap-baya.
That's what it's all about right now,.
That's okay.
I didn't play you. All I... all I did...
Listen, I'm not mad about it. Just say it was gameplay,
-and I'm cool with it. -Mike, Chanelle was my number one,
and I wanted to be totally loyal to her.
So you lied to me. A lot of time.
I lied to you because you broke my...
-You lied to me about a lot. -You weren't my number one,
-so I lied... -You told me I was.
-How many times have you lied? -I've lied to you a lot.
-Because... because... -Okay, you played.
-That's called playing me. -I know.
I think I made a bad choice,
and I do regret it, and if I blew up my game,
it's because I put my trust
in a person I shouldn't have put my trust in.
Once the votes were revealed,
it exposed that I was playing both sides,
but it seems to me
that Chanelle has somehow gotten off scot-free with
her playing both sides.
She's getting no blowback from this as far as I can tell.
That's crazy to me. This game is totally fickle.
It can turn on a dime, which is what I'm hoping it does again,
because right now I'm in a world of hurt,
and I need a dime to turn.
Come on in.

PROBST: Ika and Taku getting your first look
at the new Vati tribe.
Jenny voted out
at the last Tribal Council.
All right, ready to get to today's reward challenge?
(all assent)
For today's challenge,
three members of each tribe will be attached
to a braided rope.
On my go, you'll work to untangle that rope,
then use the rope to hook a sled filled with balls
and pull it toward you. At that point,
each tribe member will be responsible
for landing one ball in the basket. First tribe,
and only the first tribe to finish wins reward.
Want to know what you're playing for?

In a season of not much, this is a little.
Ten decent-size,
freshly-caught fish

-All you got to do is clean 'em and cook 'em.
-Yeah, buddy. -Oh, yeah, that's worth playing for.

-Over, under, over. -PROBST: It is not strenuous,
-but it can be complicated. -Under, over, under.
PROBST: But in a very difficult season of Survivor,

Go!
And only one tribe will be getting it.
-Safe. -PROBST: Taku now has a roll going.
Jonathan's orchestrating a nice little dance

-for months. -Yeah! -We love you.
Lindsay, the last remaining tribe member.
-(cheering) -Good job. -Taku wins reward!
Ten fish waiting for you back at camp.
-Oh, my gosh. -Oh, my goodness.
Guys, that was awesome.
-Of course. Of course. -It's okay.
Taku, another dominating victory.
It's not that Vati and Ika were necessarily slow.
It's just, you were unusually fast.
Jonathan, does it speak to the idea of a tribe
-finding its core? -Absolutely.
We have such a solid four, Jeff,
that I feel comfortable working with these guys so much that
these challenges are not easy, but, I mean, we've been winning.
And it's so encouraging now. I'm stoked.
PROBST: Tori, can you learn anything when you see a tribe
lose early, but now they're dominating?
We all see Goliath. Like, he's huge. He's dominating.
That last challenge that we could not complete--
you even gave him credit. You said,
that was one of the most impressive individual feats
you have seen. So, it's hard to not view them as, like,
indestructible, because they have this Goliath,
and they seem to be working so well, but
there's something that we have to figure out that they're doing
that we're not doing yet.
PROBST: All right, Taku,
ten freshly-caught, decent-sized fish
waiting for you back at camp. Grab your stuff.
Head back to camp. Enjoy your afternoon.
-ALL: Thanks, Jeff. -Well done.
Vati, Ika, got nothing for you.
Grab your stuff, head back to camp.
HAI: I thought we would do a lot better than we did.
But, wow, Taku really just blew us out of the water.
They have Thor. He is insane,
and they're the top-performing tribe now,
so we need to pull it together.
♪ ♪
MARYANNE: Whoa! (whooping)
OMAR: Goodness.
-Decent-sized fish? These are gigantic. -Decent?
MARYANNE: Jeff undersold the fish, man.
After winning the reward, we walk into camp,
and we see ten massive fish. We're like, "Yo, Jeff.
"You must be eating like a king
to think these are decent-sized fish."
These are amazing!
-Look, there's... -These are huge!
-Is that mahi-mahi? -No, that's a parrotfish.
Those eyes are huge. I want to try an eye.
LINDSAY: As a tribe, we're killing it right now.
Like, it's very obvious. Like, when we win, we blow ou.
And the fact that the other tribes struggled
so much-- it was clear they're not eating.
So we clearly have a huge advantage.
Being able to have that much in that one sitting.
Who knows when we're going to get that again?
As long as we have Jonathan,
we might have it again tomorrow, but...
I'm so ticked off, what I said to Jeff.
OMAR: Yeah, I caught that. You said,
we're, like, super tight four. (laughs)
I was like, "Jon, come on."
So when we win the reward,
Jeff asked Jonathan how our tribe was, and Jonathan
basically said, "Hey, we're a strong four,
and you can't break us apart."
So I'm just hitting my head being like,
"Oh, my goodness." Yes, what you're saying is true,
but you couldn't just be vague? Please.
Honestly, I'm just angry at Jonathan right now.
I know. Like, I didn't say anything in the moment
-'cause I didn't... I don't want it to be obvious. -Yeah, I know.
Jonathan, Mr. Dummy Jonathan opens his big mouth
about how we're such a tight family of four.
I understand where you're coming from.
So that was frustrating to see
that my main man is a bit of a slob, but
Jonathan is invaluable to the Taku tribe.
LINDSAY: I know. I wouldn't overthink it too much.
Well, here's the thing that I know now for sure.
Everybody notices that I'm a great shield.
I mean, you definitely are, but I also think
everyone's going to be way too hungry to get rid of you.
I've been wanting to be on this show since I was 14.
When I was young-- and I was like three--
my dad-- he used to wake me up and make me do pull-ups.
And he would tell my brother and I to run up a mountain
and race, and whoever lost
had to do it three more times.
So I have a foundation of strength
since I was little.
Jonathan is single-handedly determined
to win this challenge for Taku.
JONATHAN: I know that
what I can do is supply a service
for my tribe.
Everybody knows I'm big,
so I need to use it. I want them to see that my service
is that I'm using it for them. Whatever you need.
That's my service. (laughs)
(rhythmic clicking)
-There you go... -Nice!
-DREA: Yeah, Romeo. -ROCKSROY: Keep adding fuel,
Romeo. Keep adding fuel.
Things that'll burn. Blow, blow, blow, blow, blow.
ROMEO: Rocksroy is the oldest one in camp.
-TORI: Hey! -ROCKSROY: There you go.
-That's it, Romeo! -TORI: Nice!
ROMEO: So I feel like he wants to prove that
he can do everything better than the rest of us.
ROCKSROY: The sticks are gonna burn. Let the sticks burn.
Let the fire... Let the sticks burn a little bit.
ROMEO: He's coaching me, but he's not really coaching me.
Add more, add more.
ROMEO: But I'll let him feel like he's coaching me.
I'm gonna do whatever I have to do to get to the end.
Show montage-- Rocksroy and Romeo in the woods.
If you got that, just keep going.
I don't... Okay.
"Make a knot here."
You see how tight mine is?
You got to make 'em tighter.
"Pick that one up."
-Get it up on something. -Oh.
-You want to put it on there? -No, no. I'm saying, get it up.
"Yeah, no problem, no problem, no problem, no problem."
In my mind, I'm thinking "Shut the hell up!"
But I can't do that here, you know?
You have to keep your cool.
TORI: So, what are your thoughts?
What I'm thinking about is, if we have to go to Tribal again...
TORI: Yeah.
SWATI: At this point I feel like
I'm not in a power position on the tribe,
and I want to change that.
So, I have a plan in the works to vote out Drea.
She has an extra vote and, thus, holds a lot of power.
But to do that, we need to pull in a third person.
I don't get along with Rocks very well.
-You don't? -He annoys the freak out of me.
No.
TORI: Uh-huh.
This is disappointing because it's, like,
I did want to work with Drea,
and I'm not as excited working with, like, Rocksroy,
but I will.
I do trust Swati. Swati is my biggest ally.
So, if people actually do want me out,
I have to do something. But what's hard is
trying to deal with Rocksroy.
His way is, like, the way,
and it's really frustrating.
And I just want you to know I'm so
freaking thankful you're on our tribe because
I really don't know what would happen if you weren't there.
ROCKSROY: Here's the thing.
When it comes to getting fire, when it comes
-to maintaining the fire... -Yes.
when it comes to trying to get food,
-when it comes to going fishing... -Yup.
when it comes to trying to build-build a shelter,
I'm not asking anyone to come help me. I'm just like,
-"I'll just go and do it." -You honestly haven't.
Because I am right.
TORI: Rocksroy displays these tendencies
of, like, a narcissist.
It's, like, unless an idea comes from him, it's not a good idea.
And I've worked with clients who are in relationships
with narcissists, and sometimes
the best advice is to, like, get out.
Really, if you can, but I want to try with Rocksroy.
I can't get out.
Then should get rid of Drea. We're gonna need Rocksroy.
-TORI: Yes. -It gets back
-to what those guys are doing now on the "journey." -Uh-huh.
ROCKSROY: What if there is an advantage at play,
and someone has it?
Well, do you know about Drea's advantage?
I don't know about her advantage.
She has an extra vote.
She didn't tell you?
-I didn't know that. -TORI: Yeah. Rocks,
I'm telling you all of this because I want to work with you.
She wouldn't see it coming
if me, you and Swati worked together, you know?
-Hey. -What?
I haven't committed to anybody
-I'm gonna vote for... -No, and I...
because there's not even any question
of us going to Tribal yet.
Tori came to me and said Drea has an extra vote.
Tori knows that she's at the bottom
of the pecking order, I believe.
So her game is to try to bring myself and Swati in
to try to make an alliance, and the person
that she wants to go after is Drea, for some reason.
I don't know why.
But it's not gonna happen, because in my gut,
I just do not trust Tori.
She said you have an extra vote.
-Don't think anything of me. -I don't.
-I mean... -I appreciate that.
I've been wanting to play with Tori.
I even wanted to do a girls' alliance.
But when I found out that Tori told Rocksroy
about the extra vote,
it changed everything.
ROMEO: Wow. Okay.
-That's good to know. -Mm-hmm.
-It sucks. -It does suck.
DREA: It personally hurt because
I did everything I could to keep her in the game.
Right. Me, too. And, like, this is, like,
I can't work with her now.
Yeah.
SWATI: Oh, my God. Tori shared more information
than she should have and got busted, and now
I have to step back and reassess before I get myself in trouble.
And as far as Tori, as much as I would like to work with her,
I'm not going to go down with her.
PROBST: All right, so how are we doing today?
Daniel, how are you feeling a third of the way into this game?
You know, it just doesn't come through on the TV screen.
Really, it's brutal. The only reason
I'm alive today is because of Hai's body heat,
keeping me warm last night in that torrential downpour.
Maryanne, describe the rain.
You know what? The rain keeps on going down
and going down, and it's like, I know I've said it so many times,
but it just explains it so perfectly.
It's the classic tale of the bunny rabbit eating it...
the dinner in the mailbox, you know?
And we're the bunny rabbits all being like,
"Where's the mailbox?" Like, we need to go in,
we need to be warm, we need to be warm.
I masterfully say my phrase, and I hear nothing!
Are you kidding me?
You're telling me
I am the only one who found an idol? Dude!
What are the other tribes doing? I'm just thinking that they're
sitting down, like, twiddling their thumbs.
I'm so disappointed because I don't
have a vote because none of y'all want
to go and look for an idol.
Do better, y'all.
All right, shall we get to today's immunity challenge?
-(all assent) -First things first.
Got to take back the idols. Thank you, Drea.
Once again, immunity is back up for grabs.
For today's challenge, two tribe members are going
to be tethered to a boat. On my go,
you're going to dive in and pull the boat,
carrying two other tribe members
to a tall tower. The tribe members
in the boat will then climb up and leap off the tower,
grabbing a key. Will then race
to the finish where you will use that key
to unlock puzzle pieces.
First two tribes to finish
their puzzle win immunity, safe from the vote.

-PROBST: Another piece by Drea. -Hold it, get it, get it.
Now Chanelle's gonna take over
for the last piece. Got to get it in.
-Let's go! -PROBST: Swati and Drea still working for Ika.
This is not over. The piece falls out now.
Oh, no! I got it. Hold on!
It won't go!
-MIKE: Let's go! -CHANELLE: Hold it. I got it.
Hold it. Yeah, we got it, got it, got it!
-Yeah! Jeff! -It's in! It's in!
-(cheering) -They've got it!
Vati pulls it out in the final seconds,
winning immunity and sending Ika to Tribal Council.
Two pieces shy.
What a finish.
Taku, another dominating win. Immunity once again yours.
Nobody from your tribe going home.
Vati, scary there at the end.
Huge comeback. Nicely done. You pulled it out.
Your tribe will stay safe.
Flint will be waiting for you back at camp.
Well-earned. All right, Taku,
Vati, grab your stuff, swim out.
No Tribal Council tonight.
Nobody going home.
All right, Ika, Tribal Council tonight
where somebody will be voted out.
Before you go, I'll need to take your flint. Thanks, Rocksroy.
Have a chance to earn it back in the next immunity challenge.
Swim out. See you tonight at Tribal.
TORI: I kind of wanted to come in and be the sweet girl,
play a little under the radar.
Did not expect for the first two Tribals
to be on the chopping block ad be the center of conversation.
So I'm having to, like, fight and wiggle my way out of it.
But if I'm feeling insecure,
I can play my Shot in the Dark tonight.
♪ ♪
ROCKSROY: We lost today. Again.
I just... I just... My head just wants to just, "Why?"
We're a disaster.
The only positive thing is
that Tribal should be very simple tonight.
We need to eliminate threats, and the biggest threat is Tori.
She can't keep a secret,
and she can't be trusted.
So she's going home tonight.
TORI: Uh-huh.
I want to be close with you. Mm-hmm.
ROMEO: What the hell? The four of us
had decided that it was going to be Tori next.
And now I come to find out, Swati told her about it.
Why would you do that?
Okay, this is just getting out of control.
Someone's creating all these situations, and it's...
TORI: Mm-hmm.
ROMEO: Everyone likes Swati.
She's this innocent 20-year-old.
You think she's just out here for self-discovery.
She's scared.
And then you realize, wait a minute, she's playing,
and she's playing hard.
DREA: What?
And I'll tell you why.
Both sides.
I wanted to work with Tori, but not over you guys. Like...
-Listen... -You swear, Romeo?
We're good. Trust me.
-I trust you. You're my number one. -Yeah, no, no...
SWATI: I'm not sure what made her decide to flip.
You're the person I wanted to work with anyways.
She's telling everybody the same ....
She probably told Tori the same thing
and is telling Rocks the same thing right now.
(scoffs)
She's dangerous.
DREA: From the beginning, I felt that Swati
was someone I can trust,
but now it comes out
she's playing all of us against each other.
And I just find that too much of a threat.
She's too good at her social game.
-TORI: Wait, you're kidding. -No.
TORI: You're kidding.
-ROMEO: This morning. -She told me that. -Shut up.
I know. I know, I know, I know.
She was the one that made me paranoid about you.
You know that?
-Shut up. Shut up. -DREA: I swear.
I swear.
TORI: I had a game plan, and Swati was very much a big part of i.
But now it's looking like Romeo and Drea
want to work with me-- of all people--
to get out Swati.
Which is a great step up from the bottom.
And if that's what I have to do to stay in the game, I'll do it.
Everything. What's going on?
-With them? -Yeah, what's happening?
SWATI: Tori and Drea just had a long conversation.
And if Tori let out I was trying to blindside Drea,
I could be in trouble.
So I've got to do everything I can
to make sure I'm not going home.
Somehow it feels like
the impossible has happened, in that
after Tori got caught trying to blindside you...
Tori tried to blindside me?
SWATI: She told Rocks about the extra vote.
-Right? -DREA: Right.
And somehow it's driven a wedge between us,
and I'm a little bit confused.
Was she actually trying to do something with Rocks?
DREA: Yeah.
I'm not sure what made her decide to flip.
Maybe she said she was on the bottom.
-DREA: Right. -And I hope you know that
I wouldn't have flipped with her on you.
You were the first person I wanted to talk to for a reason--
'cause you're the person I want to vote with tonight.
Right.
There's a lot of "he said, she saids,"
and I'm trying to calculate it in my head.
Who's telling the truth and who's not telling the truth?
My gut's always been weird with Tori,
and it sucks,
'cause every time I think that Tori and I are on the same page,
she does something sneaky and deceitful.
But then again, I don't know if I can trust Swati either.
And it's just like,
what do I do?
I'm sticking with the plan.
Somebody tells you they have an idol or something like that
and you want to throw 'em under the bus so quickly,
what are they gonna do to you when the merge comes?
DREA: This is pissing me off.
If it was my job, and people were
messing with my million-dollar deal,
I'd cut them out of my business.
But I can only get rid of one of them.
And if I make the wrong decision,
it could be the end of my million-dollar deal.
♪ ♪
Drea, what's the vibe of this tribe?
I don't know how to explain it.
I feel like we haven't become one yet.
Although we've said we have, we haven't.
And for me it's hard, 'cause I'm used to teamwork.
And if you came to our camp, you'd kind of feel the vibe
that people aren't really sure if it's actually a team.
Tori, you were nodding. You agree with that?
Yeah, I'd say the vibe is off.
And so, I'm hoping that tonight's vote
is gonna cut out whatever is creating, maybe, that division
and get us back on the right path.
Swati, you're also nodding.
Is it just an energetic thing,
like this group just doesn't work together?
Jeff, I'm just gonna throw something out there.
I came in here thinking the headline was going to be:
"Somebody tried to make a big move.
"They thought others were willing.
They weren't, and they got caught."
And I feel like the headline might instead be:
"Is this same somebody going to be able
"to pin the blame on someone else
and send that person home tonight?"
And I'm not going to go home for somebody else's mistake
and somebody else's move.
What'd I do?
Try and blindside Drea.
TORI: No.
So, what Swati's really good at is projecting--
projecting her own paranoia on other people,
projecting moves, such as her wanting to blindside Drea,
-now projecting that onto me. -I did not.
I did not want to blindside Drea.
That is not a thing that I have ever wanted to do.
Not even on the first vote?
SWATI: Not even on the first vote.
In fact, on the first vote,
I busted my ass trying to keep Tori here,
and because what I wanted to do was create trust.
So, what do you read what's happening right now, Swati?
I'm here to play my game,
and I'm not going to get sent home
because of something Tori said or did.
Drea, so when you hear Swati throw out something,
and it surrounds you,
what happens internally?
It sucks, because I'm the main person
that's trying to bring this team together.
And yet Drea's name is always up.
So I just take all the information
that's thrown out there, and I calculate it in my mind
to figure out what makes sense to me.
There's so many truths, and then there's, like, the real truth.
SWATI: Jeff,
I'm here to tell my truth, which is that everything
that's happening, it's not my fault.
I am not... I don't know if I'm being painted
as the agent of chaos by Tori, but it's her who made this move,
her who got caught doing it.
I'm just here to say
I'm doing exactly what I said I was going to do,
and I hope that others can trust me
and that we can move forward as a more unified tribe.
Romeo, do you understand what Swati's getting at?
Because she's hit it a few times.
She's pointing a finger at Tori and saying,
"That's the problem."
Yes, she clearly wants Tori out.
And I think we just need to trust
in the target that the majority of us chose
to move forward in a more peaceful way.
And hopefully, after today's Tribal Council,
we will be able to work better together
and just be a more cohesive group.
PROBST: Tori, Swati has not backed off.
What are you feeling now,
sitting there in the center of this group?
Kind of hard to combat with what she was saying,
'cause so much of it was not rooted in reality.
I just, I really don't know where this energy is
coming from. I feel like it's-- you feel that you're vulnerable,
trying to throw it on someone else.
My name has been out there before.
Um, it's sad to me, but you gotta do what you gotta do.
ROCKSROY: Can I say something about Swati?
She came in here, and she told us she's very shy.
So for her to step up and, like, speak out like this,
I am very proud of her.
Because it's-it's very... it's very difficult
to come out and out of your shell a little bit
and push... put yourself out there.
Her personality now is blooming.
She's coming out.
Swati, how's that feel? It's a very parental thing to do,
is to acknowledge a quality they see in you.
It actually feels really good, because that is something
I really struggled with,
and I feel like I lost a lot of the insecurities
that I walked in here with.
Being able to come to a group of people
and have them accept me was a really freeing experience.
I would love to give more than that, but I feel like,
regardless of how long my Survivor experience is,
I'm going to be processing it for months, if not years.
So hit me up in a couple of years for the full answer, Jeff.
And with that, it is time to vote.
Romeo, you're up.

This stupid fight is exactly what I don't want.
HAI: Daniel's arm is dislocated, but he's fishing.
What?
Fool me twice, shame on me.
I really do feel like, if I had gotten that chance to continue
playing this game of Survivor, I would have done really well.
I feel like I became a new Survivor player
after having made that one huge mistake.
But I didn't quit, so...
Boston Rob was fourth out his first season,
so who knows, maybe you'll see me
winning a season of All-Stars in the future.
