JONATHAN LAPAGLIA: Previously on Australian Survivor...
..Feras and Raymond's fake Immunity Idol had everyone fooled.
FERAS: You're shaking, Ray.
You did it, Ray.
There's no question about it, I have to win today.
But when Kirby's hopes of remaining undefeated came crashing down...
Kirby is in trouble.
Uh!
..Feras needed to win to keep his alliance strong.
Now we have the showdown between Mark and Feras.
Whoo-hoo! Mark wins Individual Immunity.
With no Immunity necklace to protect her...
We have to stick together, you or me,
'cause I get voted out tonight, you're tomorrow.
..Kirby had only one chance for salvation.
Would you consider playing your Idol for me?
Kirby feels like an older sister, and now I hold her fate in my hands.
But at Tribal Council...
I'm so glad I get to finally play this bloody thing.
This was actually the Idol that Raymond found.
Kirby, we've had our ups and downs...
..but tonight I'm backing myself.
I'd like to play this for me.
Feras made a heartbreaking decision...
Kirby.
..that ended Kirby's game.
The tribe has spoken. They have.
Four left.
Who will be going home tonight?
(CHUCKLES)
My God, did it! Final four.
I'm the last female.
There's two Rebels, there's two Titans.
I'm so pumped! This is so exciting. Ah!
FERAS: Well, you know, that was...
..that was insane.
I'm so proud of us.
She was so angry.
Tonight was the biggest dilemma
I've ever been put in on this game so far.
I genuinely got along with Kirby.
I really made a proper sibling connection with her,
and she really wanted to take me to top two,
and I know that's what she was going to do.
However, if I did sit next to Kirby,
Kirby would beat me.
So I came to the conclusion that I should back myself
and get rid of Kirby.
RAYMOND: Yeah. I think you made the right decision with Kirby.
Like, not playing that Idol for her.
I'm really had to, man.
I mean, you always have to take risks and survive,
it's Survivor.
I promise you, Ray...
I love you, man. I love you, too.
(SIGHS)
45, baby.
It is day 45 and I am feeling ecstatic.
How did you sleep, mate?
Yeah, it was a rough one, last night.
I kept having dreams about British people, for some reason.
Rich people? No, British.
British people. Yeah.
Oh. I had two British dreams.
Oh. That's strange.
Last night at Tribal Council, after weeks of trying,
strategizing and adapting,
Feras finally cut the cord with Kirby.
And now I have a path to the end that I have set for myself.
That feels amazing.
Look at us. I know!
(LAUGHS)
Like, best buds on day one.
And bloody killing each other,
hating each other.
Now we're back in love again.
Caroline and I, for the millionth time, have reformed, regrouped,
and we are working in lockstep to get ourselves to that final two.
And using my assessments of where the jury lies,
I think that people are going to like me a little bit more.
And then on top of that, Feras has made a final three deal with me.
If you can look me in the eye
and say, "I will take you to the top three."
Absolutely.
So if you win tonight... Mm.
You can look me in the eye and be like,
"Feras, me and you at the end," and whoever the hell you want.
Yeah, I'd do that deal right now. Done.
Shake on it? Shake on it.
It's easy. Done.
But we're still good, yeah? Yeah.
Done. Yeah.
Feras and I have a pact.
If I win Immunity, I can pick whoever I want to go home.
But I'm not sure if that deal stacks up
if Raymond is there, sitting next to us.
So even though Feras and I have a final three deal,
I want to control it.
So I have to win the Immunity Challenge,
and then I can decide whether I take Feras or Raymond to the final three.
CAROLINE: Here I am in the final four.
I think I've been very much underestimated.
But my strategy has worked perfectly to get me to the end of this game.
Yesterday, Feras and I made a deal.
Let's just say tomorrow I win the challenge.
Yeah.
Can you look me in the eye
and promise me you'll write down Mark's name?
Yeah.
OK.
The good thing about Feras is that he always keeps his deals.
But...
..if Feras doesn't win Immunity today...
..Feras would be very vulnerable.
Feras is a huge threat in this game.
Looking at this logically, strategically,
Mark and I could potentially take him out.
So a lot hinges on today's Immunity Challenge.
Oh, my gosh, so much to think about today.
What do you...what do you think of my game?
I'd like to hear your opinion, because I feel like a lot of people
don't think I have the game.
You've definitely got a game.
I hope so, because people are, like, yeah, I feel
like I've been underestimated.
Yeah. Severely.
Yeah, I know. Me too, me too.
Last night at Tribal Council, Kirby got sent to the jury.
Uh, what that means for me moving forward is if I win
the next Immunity Challenge,
that's pretty much a golden ticket to the end.
However, if I don't win...
The only person I'm extremely confident that won't
write my name down is Raymond.
Raymond and I have really, really stuck by each other.
And I respect Raymond's loyalty,
and he respects my loyalty.
I've also made certain deals, I made certain promises.
And the deal that I made with Mark was if you win tomorrow,
you take me to the top three.
We looked in each other's eyes, made that deal, and we shook on it.
But I know he's not going to do that, I know it.
So my plan is to betray Mark.
What are we thinking today's challenge is, guys?
Nonstop swimming.
Nonstop swimming?
Swimming challenge.
He's the only other person in the game that can win the challenges
and convince a whole jury that he's the best player.
OK. We're going to win today.
Yep.
Worst case scenario, Mark wins Immunity.
That's the worst case scenario.
There is no other worst case scenario.
So I need to make sure that I have a backup plan.
I also made a deal with Caroline yesterday.
And I want to revisit that because I think I can get more out of it.
I promised you that I do want to keep you.
Yeah.
And that's the case I want, I want you.
So... What do you mean?
If I don't win and Mark does win...
Yeah.
..then it's obviously down to me, you and Ray.
Yeah.
Will you vote with me? Do you mean vote Ray?
Yes.
Yeah.
(SPEAKS INDISTINCTLY) If you can promise me that?
I promise you that I will vote Raymond.
Done.
This, I can't tell you how much this means to me.
That you came to me and that you asked me to do that.
So if you win Immunity, then Mark goes home.
Yep. And then if Mark wins immunity,
then Ray goes home. Done.
(EXHALES) Gosh.
FERAS: I am absolutely determined to win today.
Mark cannot win.
He definitely can't win this one.
All the other challenges do not matter.
This is the challenge that matters.
I need to win the one that matters.
Come on in!
(CHUCKLING)
So, Feras, now that you've taken out big target, Kirby,
should everyone be worried about the crosshairs
settling on them next?
I don't think so, I really don't.
I'm just focusing on my own game
and pushing forward as much as I possibly can.
I've got a fire in my belly today.
And I'm just focusing on myself.
So, Caroline, has Kirby's departure levelled the playing field?
I mean, these guys were giving her a good run for her money anyway,
but I think today, yeah, I think it is a more level playing field.
Mark, there's only three days left in this game.
What's going through your mind right now?
You're right, Jonathan, the end is in sight.
We're so close to the finish line.
But I really think if you get distracted
and take your mind off the game,
it could slip through your fingers in an instant.
So just as Feras said, I am in the zone.
I am ready and locked and ready to go.
Alright. Shall we get on with today's Immunity Challenge?
OTHERS: Yes. Mark.
Thank you.
Once again, Immunity is back up for grabs.
Well, today's challenge...
..you're gonna race through a series of obstacles,
collecting balls as you go.
Once you have all your balls,
you'll attempt to land them in a goal at the end.
First person to land all their balls,
wins Immunity and is safe from the vote.
Losers, Tribal Council where somebody is going to become
the 21st person voted out.
Let's draw for spots.
Let's get it on!
CAROLINE: Get it on. Go, guys.
Good luck.
Alright, here we. Go for Immunity,
Survivors, ready?
Go!
First thing you need to do is reel in a crate.
Contains your first two balls.
This is your second-to-last Immunity.
It is super critical.
Win this today and you move on to top three.
Feras and Mark wasting no time.
Caroline and Raymond,
they're not far behind now.
Mark first up with his first set.
Now you're going to use those to hit that target
and release the next set of balls.
Mark takes a shot, misses.
Misses again.
Everyone in on it now.
Feras has his next set of balls.
He can move on to the net.
That net is tight.
Not much room under there.
Mark has his, he can move on.
Oh.
Oh, come on.
You got to scoot yourself and your balls inch by inch.
That is no fun.
(PANTS, GRUNTS)
Feras and Mark firing at the next target.
Oh!
Caroline has her next set.
She's moving on.
Mark moving so fast, he's lost a shoe.
That's not going to stop him.
Yes. Just like that.
Mark and Feras have their final set of balls.
Now you need to get over the wall and start shooting.
Caroline slowly coming through under that net,
really taking her time.
Finally, Raymond has his next set of balls.
He can move on to the net.
Feras and Mark neck and neck.
They went head-to-head in yesterday's Immunity.
It's the same again today.
Who's going to pull it out?
Have to land six balls.
Feras takes a shot on the rim.
In and out for Mark.
Both desperate to land something.
Finally, Caroline is through the net.
She's moving on to the next obstacle.
Feras lands the first one. He takes the lead.
Mark has one.
We're tied. One each.
(GROANS)
Raymond, coming through the net now.
Caroline releases her final set of balls.
Mark lands his second ball.
Feras has one.
And Mark lands another one.
He's really getting the hang of it. Mark has three.
Mark lands another one. He has four.
Feras lands one after the other.
He has three.
It's tight.
Caroline taking her time.
Raymond's coming over now, too.
Feras lands another one. He ties it up - four each.
Mark with another one. He has five.
Feras desperate to catch up.
Can he pull it off?
No!
Mark winds it up, going for the win.
In and out.
Feras goes again. Off the backboard.
Nark winds it up.
This could be a half-million-dollar shot.
Yeah! And he does it!
Wow!
Mark takes Individual Immunity again.
Very tall.
Oh...
(PANTS)
(SOBS)
(SNIFFLES)
(SOBS)
(SNIFFLES)
(DRAMATIC MUSIC PLAYS)
Feras.
FERAS: That was insane.
We're so close to the end now.
So, you know, waves of emotions.
Yeah. Winning is emotional.
Losing is emotional.
Yeah. Yeah. The whole lot.
It's a roller-coaster.
Yeah...
FERAS: This is the worst possible outcome.
Um, I've...I've given it my all.
I've given my all and, um,
I just feel like...
..as much as I wanted to give and give,
it just wasn't enough.
It really wasn't.
We were even, like, almost the entire way, eh.
I'm extremely disappointed in myself.
I feel like I've let down a lot of people as well.
Um...
..I could hear my family cheering on for me in my head
and my community,
and I feel like I've let a lot of people down today.
I know exactly why this hurts so much.
Sending Kirby to the jury last night was based on me winning today.
And I felt deserving to be here.
Until today.
I felt like I was taking someone's spot tonight.
That's a horrible, horrible feeling. Yeah.
And...
..I don't want to make it to top three
by taking another friend's spot.
RAYMOND: Congratulations on winning today.
Thank you, mate.
I think it's gonna be a very, very sad afternoon for a lot of people.
You'd be ecstatic, though.
It was, um, it was a very bizarre feeling because
obviously I was over the moon.
And then I turned and looked at all of you three, and I just saw,
like, three very sad faces.
You got very, very lucky because...
Mate, it's not luck. (LAUGHS)
Yeah.
Winning this Immunity necklace is a huge achievement.
I've got two in a row now, so I'm safe tonight,
which means I've got a guaranteed spot in the final three.
I am loving life right now.
But the more elation I was feeling,
I saw in the eyes of my tribe mates how much despair
they had on their faces.
Raymond looked shattered.
I've never seen him look so upset,
but even more so, Feras.
He looked just like the world swallowed him up and spat him out.
How are we going to play it at Tribal Council?
Can we just say we're voting for Ray?
Yeah.
Caroline and I are going to stick together at the vote tonight,
and Feras and I have a pact.
I really hope you're a man of your word after yesterday.
Yeah, I am.
However, reading the room, that's what I do in my job.
And the reaction from Feras...
..I've got some concerns.
I'll be right back.
I think you're making fire. Pardon?
I think you might be making fire tonight.
Oh, really? Is that what he said?
No, but he's weighing his options.
I made a deal with Feras that he would vote Raymond if you won today.
Turns out I was right to be dubious about Feras' behaviour.
Feras has made a final three deal with myself and with Caroline.
I think this is Feras pitching anything he can
in order to try and solidify the votes.
Don't tell him that I told you that.
And if he asks me, I won't tell him.
I know that you haven't told... OK.
So now I don't feel at all constrained by Feras' promise to me,
because he's made the same deal with Caroline.
Yeah.
I've got the Immunity necklace and I am in control.
All's fair in love and war.
And tonight I'm going to betray him if I need to.
MARK: So Feras has made two final three deals -
one with me and one with Caroline.
It proves to me that Feras is pitching anything he can
to get through tonight's Tribal Council.
If I wanted to, I could end Feras' game tonight like that.
But that's not what I want.
The worst case scenario for me tonight
is that Caroline gets voted out of the game.
I don't want her to go.
I think that my odds are much better to win the game with Caroline
around and not Raymond or Feras.
So I need three votes to prevent me from losing Caroline
in a fire-making challenge.
All I know is this has been a bloody hard day.
Well, if it makes you feel any better, I'm here for you, bro.
Raymond will never vote against Feras.
But Feras will do whatever it takes to win this game.
Yeah.
Yeah. Yeah.
Feras has made two final three deals
that in order for those two things to be true,
he must vote Raymond off tonight.
It's literally that simple.
I know that this is going to tear Feras apart today.
I've already seen it.
I already saw the emotion after the loss at the challenge.
But at the end of the day,
if Feras keeps his promise to me,
he has to vote Raymond out of the game.
So I need to make sure that he sticks to that deal
so that I'm sitting here tomorrow.
I really wanted it to be me, you and Ray at the end.
And now that's... (INDISTINCT) Yeah.
Really.
Do you remember what we talked about today?
I do. OK.
You vote Raymond.
Yeah.
You have kept the promises that you've made.
I know that this is not going to be without, um...
..a lot of heartache,
and I empathise with that a lot.
I...
Do you want to know what I'm thinking?
Tell me. Tell me what you're thinking.
I'm worried that...
..um, I write Ray's name down... Yeah.
..Ray writes your name down... Yes.
..and then you and Mark write my name down, and I go home.
That's what's going through my mind. I'm pinky-promising you right now
that I'm writing Raymond's name down.
OK. OK?
There's only so much that you can do to protect them
for as long as you can.
Do you know what I mean? Yeah.
We've got to be logical about it.
So, when Caroline was speaking to me...
..I just had some feeling that something's not right.
What's more important?
Your game or his game?
I'm hoping that Mark and Caroline are going to make good on their end
of the deals.
And then I thought, "Well, maybe that's a part of their plan,"
for me to write Raymond's name down,
for Raymond to write Caroline's name down,
and for Mark and Caroline to both write my name down
and to send me home.
Does anybody want to wash this? I've already washed it today.
Um, I'll wash it.
I'll rinse the beans.
Mate, happy birthday. Thank you.
Sorry it's in these circumstances.
No, no, no, it's fine.
Yeah. Thank you so much. I appreciate it.
Yeah.
Yeah, I know, man.
Well, it makes you feel any better,
I'm willing to write Ray's name.
Why are you writing his name down and not mine?
We obviously made a deal.
Um...I want to honour that.
That's what it comes down to.
I'm going to have to... (CHUCKLES) I...
So, I'm analysing Feras's mood.
There's no way about it.
I'm gonna have to write his name down.
His body language and cues and everything
to see how he's feeling.
You guys have been allies forever.
And now I'm really convinced.
Feras is lying.
So, you know what, Feras?
I am no longer Mr Nice Guy.
It is time to throw the diplomatic shackles into the bin.
At Tribal, I want Feras to struggle.
I'm going to embarrass him in front of the jury
with his double, triple and quadruple dealings.
I need to get more negative thoughts out.
And I need to make sure... Dude, dude...
OK, dude, you got this.
Give me a hug, bro. We got this.
People are operating under the misconception
that being a diplomat means that you're nice.
That is totally wrong.
It means that you are doing the best for the national interest.
Out here, there's no national interest.
It's Mark's interest.
I am my own country, and I'm doing the best thing for me
to get the title of Sole Survivor.
(DRAMATIC MUSIC PLAYS)
We'll now bring in the jury.
Aileen, Jaden,
Valeria, Alex,
Rianna, Kitty...
..and Kirby...
..voted out at the last tribal council.
Hey, Kirbs!
So, Feras...
..here we are, day 45,
and we are left with two rebels and two Titans.
But there are still a couple of hurdles left.
How difficult would it be to fall on that final hurdle?
Well, I had a taste of that today.
I just fell short of winning that immunity necklace.
It was a very close match up between, um...
..my competitor and I, um...
..and I can't even explain it.
It kills me because I've...
..I keep falling short.
And I've lost before, many times.
I've picked myself back up.
But I think today was the hardest loss for me.
So, Mark, what is it about this combination of Titans and Rebels
that has generated such intense gameplay this season?
I think the Titans v Rebels concept has just brought out the best
and strongest characteristics of both sides.
The Rebels have been devious.
The Titans have given it their all.
The Titans have, at points in the game, been on the bottom.
Uh, and we have, you know, come back with a fury.
So, there's two Titans at the end, here.
Could have easily been three Rebels last night, but it's not.
So, uh, I feel like us Titans are coming home strong.
So, Feras, you and Raymond have been super tight this season.
What is that? Is it that Rebel spirit that's bonded you two?
I don't know what it is.
I think I still don't know what it is.
Sometimes I want to slap him, sometimes I want to hug him.
Um, but I think it may be the rebellious nature
of our moves and personalities.
Yeah, definitely.
That's a factor.
Can I jump in on that, Jonathan?
Absolutely.
I think that's a fascinating answer.
These two are apparently so tight that they're ride-or-dies.
But Feras has made me a final-three deal.
We shook hands on it.
We looked each other in the eyes, and he said to me,
"Mark, if you're a man of your word, I'll vote Kirby off last night,
"and we'll be in the final three."
But also, Caroline, apparently,
has done a final-three deal with Feras.
That means that, if he sticks to his word with me,
and if he sticks to his word with Caroline...
..his ride-or-die should be going home tonight.
Either he's lying to Caroline, or he's lying to me,
or he's lying to Raymond.
So, Feras, it seems like Mark is questioning your credibility.
Yeah, I guess that's what the game is.
You want a question it, by all means, question it.
I'm just confused as to why... (CHUCKLES)
..why this being brought up, but all good, bro.
All power to you.
We're here at a final four.
There's a massive jury, right there,
wanting to know, what are we doing in this game?
And I think now is the time to shine a little bit of a light on that.
I think it's totally acceptable.
I am very comfortable and confident with how I sent Kirby to the jury.
Feras did it in a very different way.
Feras could have saved Kirby if he wanted to, but he didn't.
He had an idol. He didn't play it for her.
And I feel like, if I was Feras, I would be thinking differently.
Feras, what would you say to that? I just....
..anybody can just say, "Oh, I would have done it differently,
"and this would have been different."
Like, it's all talk at the end of the day, JLP.
That's all it is.
If I'd kept Kirby, she would be wearing that necklace today,
100%, without a doubt.
And it has been a regret of mine.
I wish I didn't get rid of Kirby.
Um, but we're here now.
That shouldn't be held against someone at all.
Caroline, your head just snapped around when he said,
"I regretted not playing my idol for Kirby."
You know, it's...
..Feras is entitled to think exactly what he wants to think.
It's not the impression that I got,
but anyway.
What do you mean by that?
Voting Kirby out was really hard yesterday, but it was all strategic.
Because in your mind, he made the right decision.
No. I thought he thought
that he was making the right decision, as well.
Look, Jonathan, we are now sitting in a situation where Feras
is trying to get himself to the end, and I applaud him for it,
but I'm just going to call it out as I see it.
He made a top-three deal with me.
He made a top-three deal with Caroline.
Something's got to give.
I think he's trying to play up to the jury,
but they're not idiots.
They're just like, "Oh, this person is now using a tactic
"to try and demean someone else," and...
I don't think I'm demeaning Feras at all.
I'm pointing out elements of the game that are extremely
relevant to the game, as we stand, at today,
as we head into the final challenge tomorrow,
and as we head into the final two.
And I think that's totally fair play.
Everyone is playing to the jury.
I'm just explaining myself.
And Feras likes to make deals.
So, are you a man of your word or not?
We're just gonna have to wait and see, buddy.
Wow.
There's only four left, and there's still a lot going on.
You'd better believe it.
Yeah. I think it is time to vote.
I think it is time to vote.
Raymond, you're up.
Aye-aye.
Sorry, lovely.
Good luck at making fire.
I'll go count the votes.
OK, I'll read the votes.
First vote,
Caroline.
Raymond.
One vote Caroline, one vote Raymond.
Raymond.
That's two votes Raymond,
one vote Caroline.
One vote left.
Caroline.
We're tied.
OK.
In the case of a deadlock with four people left,
we will go to a fire-making challenge
to determine which of you two will be going home.
I'll give you a minute, and we will get to it.
Alright.
Caroline and Raymond, this is your fire-making challenge.
You both have the same supplies.
The goal is to build a fire high enough to burn through that rope
and raise the flag.
First to do so will live to see tomorrow.
Are you ready?
Yep. Yep.
You may begin.
This challenge is now on.
FERAS: Good boy.
Raymond quickly getting to the husk.
Caroline with a different approach.
Grab...grab multiple at once, Ray, on both hands,
and then stand them up.
Feras coaching Raymond from the sideline.
Raymond scraping magnesium now.
That's going to help with ignition.
Raymond going for a spark.
Having trouble getting it to stand up?
Fix it up again. Fix your sticks up again, Ray.
You got more husk.
Caroline not panicking.
So, now, Caroline going for a spark.
Can she get that magnesium to catch?
She does. She has a little flame.
That husk burns quickly.
Once you get that flame, you really need to keep it going.
Breathing on it, giving it some oxygen.
Raymond still scraping his flint.
Get more on the table, Ray. Yeah.
Don't lift it up and hit it.
(BANGING, SCRAPING)
Don't stop, Ray. Don't stop, Ray.
You got this.
Poor Ray.
(VOCALISING)
(BANGING CONTINUES)
Caroline...
..continues to build up her fire.
Caroline has a legitimate fire now.
Caroline has a good sized fire going there, but it needs to go
all the way up to that rope.
There it is. It's licking it.
That fire is all over that rope.
(BANGING CONTINUES)
It is so close, and the rope is on fire,
and that is it, the flag is up!
Caroline wins her position in the final three.
MARK: Brilliant. Well done.
Argh!
Alright, Raymond,
need to bring me your torch.
Ah.
Raymond, the tribe has spoken.
Love you all!
Mwah! See you, Ray.
Bye, Ray.
Well,
one game might have just gone up in flames,
but with two days to go,
which of you three will rise like a phoenix?
Grab your torches. Head back to camp.
Good night.
Tomorrow night, on Australian Survivor...
CAROLINE: Being an older woman, they all underestimated me.
But I've got a fire in my belly, so they'd better watch out.
..two Titans...
I've won two immunity challenges in a row, and I will destroy anyone
to win this game.
The time for diplomacy is over.
All that remains is me going to war.
..one Rebel...
When it comes to challenges,
I've fallen extremely short.
I have not won a single individual immunity...
..but my back's against the wall now.
I've got no other choice.
It's either win today's challenge or go home.
I'm in trouble.
Who will be crowned this season's Sole Survivor?
I don't want somebody else in control of my game.
Winning this immunity challenge could be my biggest move to date.
Not only did I not think that I'd go this far,
but I imagine most of the people back home didn't expect this either.
I'm in the top one sixth players to play this game.
I mean, that's...that's a distinction.
That's not a credit, that's not a pass, that's not a failure -
that's a distinction, I'm pretty sure.
So I'm not disappointed.
I'm never going to question, "What if I had won this challenge?"
It's all good.
