Previously on Australian Survivor...
Ah, she's done it.
..Rianna and newest Titans member Alex
found themselves not-so-hidden immunity idols.
I love it! How good is that?
At the immunity challenge...
Go!
..the Titans were no match for the Rebels.
Jaden has both the Titans tied up. This is going to be an easy win.
Kirby was struggling to contain Hurricane Kelli.
You can't dictate how I vote.
You think you will try, but you will not.
She's becoming far more of a liability than she is an asset.
With the common goal of getting rid of Kelli...
Yeah.
I think we should.
..Kirby and Feras's alliances join forces.
Kelli. Kelli. Kelli.
Kelli. OK?
But at Tribal Council...
I don't like idols in our tribe.
But I think anyone who knows that there is one
should feel uncomfortable.
Kirby attempted to flush Alex and Feras's idols.
Instead, a unanimous vote...
Kelli.
..ended Hurricane Kelli's trail of destruction.
I have something to say before I go.
I am a psychologist.
The tribe has spoken. Thank you.
14 are left. Who will be going home tonight?
(FIRE CRACKLES)
I slept so good. Oh, good.
Wake up nice and quiet.
I can't get over she's a psychologist.
Last night at tribal, Kel was voted off
and she had announced that she was a psychologist.
I didn't know what to think
because I think psychologists are meant to be good listeners,
so I'm shocked.
Anyway, she's gone!
She's gone. She's gone!
Oh, yeah. Freedom.
With Kelli going,
last night has hopefully united us all,
at least for a while.
Well, today's a new day.
Today is a new day. Day 26.
We are all gonna smash whatever challenge comes today
as a unified tribe.
We just need to maintain our relationships and make sure
that everyone's on the same page.
I'm just...I'm being smart because I know you guys,
I think I'm establishing a great trust with Valeria.
She's somebody that I can trust
just as much as I trust Scotty and Ri.
But me and Feras...
That's a whole different story.
Last night, we voted together.
But in saying that,
he doesn't trust me, I don't trust him.
I've been holding a shield up from you for a long time.
Well, it's like you, Kirbs.
I've wanted to work with you from day one.
No, I know.
Yes. After Garrick went off, he went off, man!
I was like, "Uh-uh."
Moving forward, I hope we can stay Rebels strong, but you never know.
Does it feel like the Titans are sticking together?
They are very, very tight.
Eden, Caroline and Kitty. Eden, Caroline and Kitty.
I'll speak to you later about the whole Viola vote a little bit,
but I think that Mark's the one on the outer.
Kitty and Caroline,
what I've seen yesterday from those two ladies
was very impressive.
So, Vi, she just started playing really offensively.
It felt like she was out for us huh.
They explained the reasons why they got rid of Viola.
But for me, you cross my girl, you're gonna go next.
It's a really good question.
I think, like, Mark seemed to be gunning for Caroline,
so I assume that...
Yeah.
What a shocker.
I trust Mark fully, and I cannot wait to get him to merge
and reunite with him.
Come on in.
Good morning.
Rebels getting their first look at the new Titan tribe.
Kelli voted out the last Tribal Council.
Hey, guys.
It's a beautiful day in Samoa.
So, Caroline.
Are you surprised to see Kelli gone?
I'm a little bit shocked, actually.
Yeah, I'm a little bit shocked.
I mean, I imagine it would have been
a very interesting Tribal last night.
Blindsiding her last night was hands down
my favourite Survivor moment.
And that's saying something
because I found a very pretty necklace the other day as well.
(ALL CHEER)
Just laying it out there.
So, Feras, your first night in the game without Kelli,
how was it?
Oh, it was peaceful.
For the first time, everyone just felt together, united.
So, um, amazing.
Well, I'm glad it was calm.
Unfortunately, that's not going to last very long.
Because it is time...
..to drop your buffs.
(CHEERING)
We are merged!
Merge, merge! Everybody, merge!
Oh, my God, this is such a huge moment.
It is a dream come true.
It's actually amazing.
The whole game changes now.
It smells good, right?
Nice and clean.
Hey!
God, look at this buff. Look at this.
Look. Look how nice and new it is.
Now I've made merge, I'm dateable.
Like, this is a huge moment. It's fantastic.
Well, Eden, as a fan of the game,
I have to assume that this is on your bucket list.
There is a one big old tick next to making merge, Jonathan.
But as far as I'm concerned,
we've been playing Survivor on easy mode.
Now it's just racking up, racking up, racking up.
So let's get it on, Jonathan.
Mark, merge is when the heat gets turned up.
Are you ready for that?
Oh, you know, Jonathan, uh, since day one,
I've been expecting the unexpected.
And I'm really grateful to be here.
But I know that, as Eden says,
the difficulty is just going to go sky-high,
and I'm ready, you know, I'm ready to go.
And, you know, let's see what happens.
So, Valeria.
What are you going to say to all these people
who stand between you and the title of Sole Survival?
I feel like this game now gets a little bit dirty,
and we really need to keep our eyes open for any sort of blindsides
that's going to happen next.
I made a massive step going into this merge now.
Me and Mark will definitely be a power couple.
We'll destroy everyone
who decided to put the vote against Viola.
The war is about to start.
Are you ready to get to your first individual reward challenge?
Alright, for today's challenge...
..you're going to stand on a narrow beam
while balancing a ball on a wooden bow.
At regular intervals, you'll move further down,
making it more difficult.
If, at any point, you fall off or drop your ball,
you're out of the challenge.
Last person still standing wins the reward.
Want to know what you're playing for?
Winner will get...
Oh, my gosh!
..5K on replay for 12 months
thanks to Set For Life.
No way!
But wait, there's more,
because this reward just keeps going and going.
Not only will you get a 60,000 cash prize,
but you will also get to spend one night
in a beautiful, soft, comfy bed...
Are you kidding?! ..at camp.
But there's still more. What?!
Because you will also get a front-row ticket
to the next Tribal Council as a spectator.
You won't need to participate.
You're not gonna vote.
No-one can vote for you.
You just get to watch.
You can sit back, relax and enjoy the show.
Oh, my God.
Alright, I know that that's worth playing for.
We're going to draw for spots and we're going to get to it.
Yay! Whoo!
It's huge.
Everyone's in position.
For a reward, this challenge is now on.
The challenge is all about balance and focus.
Trying to balance yourself and balance the ball on the bow.
(THUNDER RUMBLES)
A healthy dose of Samoan rain for this challenge...
..making it more difficult to balance.
I keep slipping.
The ball is heavy.
It quickly picks up momentum,
making it difficult to get under control
when it starts moving.
First Tribal Council after merge.
It tends to be a tricky one.
It's the first time everyone's come together.
You don't really know where everyone stands,
who you can trust.
Far out, man.
Caroline is the first to drop out.
Well done, Caroline.
Everyone else, still in it.
Alright.
You can grab the ball.
We're going to move on to the next section.
Jeez, this is so much harder. It's harder.
You need to have one foot in the back section,
one foot in the next section.
Alright.
I'm going to count you in.
Five, four,
three, two,
one.
No.
Raymond can't hang.
He's out of the challenge.
Winna drops.
No.
Oh, (BLEEP).
And Kirby right behind.
Out of nowhere.
And now we're down to 10.
Feras. Jaden. Kitty.
Aileen. Scott. Mark.
Alex, Rianna, Eden and Valeria.
Everyone's standing up except Eden,
trying the seated position.
That position is probably going to get uncomfortable pretty quickly.
I might have made a huge mistake, Jonathan.
Risky move. He tries to stand up.
And he does it.
Wow.
Well done, everyone.
You can go ahead and grab the ball.
We're going to move on to the next section.
Oh, no way!
Oh, gee, Jonathan, this one's narrow.
I'm going to count you in.
Five.
Four.
Three.
Two.
One.
Mark cannot make the transition.
Feras is out too.
Now we're down to eight.
Out of nowhere, Kitty drops.
Jaden is out.
Alex gets the wobbles, can't hang.
He's out of the challenge.
Quickly dropping like flies.
Now we're down to five.
As I say that, Aileen drops.
Now we're down to four.
Scott looking so solid down the end there.
Rianna, locked and loaded.
Valeria, like a statue.
And remarkably, still Eden.
What is Eden doing?
Eden... Jeez.
Another risky move.
He's going to try and stand up.
He can't do it. He is out.
Great effort from Eden.
And now we're down to three,
fighting for the biggest reward of the season.
35 minutes into this challenge.
Mentally, she is insane.
Yeah, she's really good.
She'll be good at all the endurance shit, I reckon.
Yeah, I'm shocking at it.
Little wobble from Scott now.
Meanwhile, Rianna, Valeria,
both looking very solid.
But anything can happen in this challenge.
And out of nowhere, Rianna just drops.
Oh, Ri!
Now we have a showdown between Scott and Valeria.
Scott's legs really shaking now,
his body beginning to betray him.
And that is it!
Valeria wins reward.
Can't beat a dancer. Can't beat a dancer.
You can't. I just stayed away from the start.
That was incredible.
My balance - crazy.
If it had to be anyone...
You were amazing!
Thank you so much. Well done.
Thank you so much.
Thank you.
Valeria, come on over.
(CHEERING)
Congratulations. Thank you.
You won the biggest reward of the season so far.
5K on replay. A comfy night's sleep at camp.
Yes! And a night off at tribal.
How does that feel?
It's amazing. It's beautiful.
And thank you guys for being there for me,
because having a team right next to you doing the same thing
definitely helps push you forward.
Well, congratulations.
Your bed'll be waiting for you back at camp.
Everyone else, well done for making merge.
You can head on back and enjoy your afternoon.
Thank you!
Making merge -
the whole game changes now.
And with exactly seven Rebels and seven Titans,
this is doo-doo-doo-doo-doo.
It's overdrive.
Merge, baby!
(CHEERING)
Look at that bed!
Oh, my God, Val! Jeez!
God.
MAN: You have to come and see this. Yes.
This is amazing!
I feel so bad. No!
You're gonna have the best night's sleep.
Yeah. And you're set for life!
(LAUGHTER)
SCOTT: The last 24 hours have been pretty wild.
And it almost sent me through a head spin because
there's 14 of us again, and it feels almost like we've started
the whole game again.
It's very weird being back, I feel emotional.
So much has changed.
It hasn't hit me yet.
Like, everything feels a little bit uncertain beneath my feet.
And you know when you just feel a little bit...
Yeah, it's bringing on a bit of homesickness.
Exactly.
Whereas everything was so clear in the last camp where we were.
MAN: Guys, we're talking tribe name.
Yes. Let's do it.
We got titles, but I want to hear something more interesting.
I like the idea of going with one in Samoan, which is 'tasi',
because the Tasi Tribe sounds cool and it's like we're coming together.
It's short, it's easy.
He's got the ideas!
So we're happy with that? Yeah.
OK. Hands in, hands in.
WOMAN: Hands in.
Three, two, one...
ALL: Tasi!
SCOTT: Looking at my new tribe mates,
I'm kind of going back to the drawing board.
I have played my whole game so far with social connections and empathy,
so I'm really hoping at this point that there's a few people
also taking the same option.
I'm good at relationships. No.
I like...I like logical thinking and chats,
but I'm really bad with confrontation.
And I get startled and then I'm like, "Oh! What do I do?
"How do I say? What do I say?"
You're putting me at ease so much. Thank you.
I don't know what it is, but your energy is amazing!
(INDISTINCT CHATTER)
Did I tell you I was, like, chatting
to them across from the game?
Yeah. They did. It's so good.
Alright.
Hm? We got to stick together.
We're going to stick together.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
There is so much going on in this tribe right now.
There's...there's definitely some dangerous players.
Oh, yeah. And some people with Idols.
And with seven Rebels and seven Titans in this merged tribe,
there are a million different conversations going on.
You can see people flitting from group to group.
Mate, how are you? We haven't spoken.
I know, I know.
Feras is a big player.
I'm sure he's vying for power.
So I'm going to form a majority first.
I'm an open door right now. Honestly.
Literally, an open door. Yeah.
Yeah, I mean, it's handy having it.
Um, it's different because everyone knows.
But, um, I think I've said, like, I think it's gonna
be played relatively soon. Yeah.
Um, don't necessarily need to play it for myself, but if.
we have a decent plan, then...
CAROLINE: Alex doesn't really sit with any alliance in the OG Rebels.
I think he wants to trust us and we certainly want to trust him.
It's important for me to touch base with Valeria.
Obviously, we got rid of Viola,
but at the feast, we all felt like we made amends.
And hopefully we can work together moving forward.
ALL: Aw!
It was so good that we came to the lunch, hey.
I went...
I was, like, looking at the...
It was so good that you came down to me so we could have a good chat.
I even said it to, like, before.
And I was like, out of all the people that had this feast,
I needed Kitty and Caroline and me being at the table.
Yeah. We knew that too.
Mark, he's going to be
a very sneaky person.
And I'm telling you, I'm not
going to be sneaky with you. Yeah.
You know, I'm going to be true,
I'm going to be real about this
because I don't want to...I don't
want to go to the end with people that don't deserve this.
You'll be... Included, yeah.
Definitely. Yeah.
Although I'm finding it really,
really hard to trust Mark at the moment,
in this merged tribe right now,
I think that we have to stick together as OG Titans
and with Ri and Alex on top of that,
hopefully we've formed an alliance
that will get us through the next few days.
Yeah.
What are you thinking about? Where are you at?
(EXHALES SHARPLY)
It's so hard to see where the dynamics are.
I said, coming here, I said,
"I'm just going to sit and watch." Yeah.
The merge has come at the perfect time for me in the game.
Things are getting particularly dangerous for me,
so I just see this opportunity as opening up a world of relationships
and new people that I can work with.
And I am dying to reunite with Winna and Valeria
before we take the next step.
Hey, hey!
Good timing.
Oh, my God, I know, I know.
We shouldn't look too excited I reckon.
Yeah.
I'm really glad it's merged. Let's just say that.
When Viola got voted off,
I was completely blindsided
and I was the only Titan left out of the vote.
Caroline probably instigated it.
(BOTH LAUGH)
And they were nervous that I was too close to her.
Which is true. Like, it was true.
And they were, like,
basically wanted to strike before we struck them.
And so then the next vote, I tried to rally the Rebels
to vote off Caroline, and I was one short.
What a shocker. Mm-hm.
I don't know...
I was hoping that you guys would be impressed with me,
like, coming up to Caroline.
Like, very rational thing to do.
I am 100%. I love it.
Look, as a former diplomat, uh,
revenge is not normally in the suite of options,
but revenge is practically Valeria's middle name.
So these two...
Kitty thinks that I'm die hard to trust with them.
Yeah. Yeah.
Hypothetically, if Caroline gets...
..she wins tomorrow...
..we just go... Yeah.
Kitty wins tomorrow, we get Caroline?
Yeah.
Hey, this is Plan A,
getting rid of one of them.
Yeah.
WOMAN: Oh. Hi, lady-bell!
Oh, my God, I'm so jealous.
..amazing.
You guys are gonna have to tell us where we sleep tonight.
There's 13 of us.
Because Val's...because Val's in there.
What a life.
Having a bit of a taste of winning Set For Life
definitely put a much bigger motivation in my body and in my mind
to get even further in the game.
Hey, Val. Yes.
When you get home, you need to look up...
I'm the father, not Val.
Sorry, father.
You're welcome to tell your... Confession.
Confession.
Your survivor sins.
I need to confess sin.
I'd like to vote off Kitty or Caroline.
Oh, I actually, as a father suggested.
You suggested? Yeah.
I feel like it's good for your karma.
Awesome. Yeah.
Excuse me, is it Set For Life?
Uh, can I please get a cappuccino? Thank you.
Uh, and a piece of chocolate.
Thank you very much.
Kitty and Caroline got rid of my girl Viola.
Tonight I will be dreaming about
playing my revenge on these people.
Wait for me, guys. I'm coming for you.
Goodnight, Princess Val!
Come on in.
So, Valeria, how was that bed?
Uh, it was incredible, to be honest.
I just feel so spoilt right now, Jonathan.
I feel so recharged and rested and ready for the rest of the game.
So, Scott, does this new tribe have a name?
Um, yeah. Yesterday, I think we decided on the Tasi Tribe.
It's 'one' in Samoan.
So the idea that we've all come together now and we are one.
We all thought that was the way forward.
Perfect. So, Caroline... Yeah?
..what's it been like with everyone living on the same beach together?
The shelter is very full,
but I think everyone's kind of getting to know each other.
Yeah, there's been a lot going on.
Indeed.
On that note, are you ready to get to your first
individual Immunity Challenge?
ALL: Yeah!
Going to have to give it up.
Goodbye, oversized cup.
(CHUCKLES)
Tribal Immunity is no more.
Now on, this is what you
covet in the game.
(ALL WHOOP)
Individual immunity. With this around your neck, you are safe.
You cannot be voted out.
Without it, you're vulnerable.
You could be going home.
Alright, today's challenge.
Using only your legs, you're gonna hold up a bar and attempt to keep
a ball in an overhead chute.
If at any point the ball drops, you're out of the challenge.
Last person still standing wins Immunity and is safe from the vote.
Losers, Tribal Council, where somebody is going to become
the 11th person voted out.
Now, Valeria, because you're safe at tonight's Tribal,
you will not compete.
Everyone else, we're going to draw for spots and we will get it on!
Alright, here we go.
Everyone, take up your position.
Release the mechanism.
Alright.
Everyone's in position, for Immunity
this challenge is now on.
Another simple challenge.
Doing my joints.
Just need to keep that bar up high enough
so the ball stays in the chute.
(GRUNTS)
RAYMOND: This is awful!
It's awful, right? This is awful.
And you're already not enjoying it.
No! I already know
I'm not gonna win this one.
OK!
As Raymond is already experiencing,
your legs are gonna burn.
It's awful.
This is really bad. Yeah.
To make it fair, each of you are holding up a percentage
of your body weight.
It'll help to weigh our weights, huh?
Is yours heavy, Jay? Yeah.
Yeah, I'm feeling a little.
I think my strength to weight ratio is not very good.
I'm competing against these beasts.
Yeah, might as well just rest, hey.
Kirby, not even a minute in.
Out of the challenge.
Big surprise.
I'm getting old, JLP.
Yeah, I can't do it.
Raymond's out.
(BLEEP)
Kitty's out. Wow!
That I did not expect.
Caroline's out.
(EXHALES DEEPLY)
We're not even five minutes into this,
and people are just dropping.
This is heavy.
Uh!
Mark is in pain.
All good, all good. Just breathe.
I know.
It looks heavy. Everyone's shaking.
How much effort you put in today
might reflect how safe you feel in this tribe.
It's not. What does it matter?
But you're not at risk either.
Merge is a big reset in this game.
It's a period of maximum uncertainty.
I'm dying.
Lots of relationships have been established early in the game,
but now that everyone's together,
you don't really know where everyone stands.
Eden is out.
Aileen is out. Wow!
(BLEEP) That's it, Rianna's out.
My legs!
Oh.
Now we're down to six.
Scott,
Jaden,
Feras,
Alex, Winna,
and, remarkably, Mark is still in it.
Come on. Go, Mark.
I don't think I can do it much longer than that.
Good work, Scotty. Good work. Oh!
Finally, Scott drops.
Feras moving around.
Loses focus.
Feras is out.
Now we're down to four.
Jaden,
Alex,
Winna and still Mark.
This would be an incredible win for Mark if he can pull this off.
He has been in pain since minute one,
and we're over 10 minutes now.
What an effort.
How you feeling?
Yeah, it's getting tough now, though.
Alex still looking good.
Got his game face on today.
Alex could win all of the challenges.
I know, he sees... And he has an Idol.
Some movement from Alex now.
Oh, well done! Wow.
(BREATHES DEEPLY) (CLAPPING)
Massive effort from Mark.
After 13 minutes he finally drops.
I just wanted to keep going.
Now we're down to three.
Jaden, Alex and Winna.
ALEX: I'm wobbling.
Alex is on the run now.
Right at the edge of the chute.
Feet shaking, clearly showing some pain now.
I think I'm done, boys.
I am, man.
Alex was looking so good,
but it just fell apart.
Well done, Alex.
And now we have a showdown between Jaden and Winna.
Oh!
Go, Jaden.
Oh, man. Wow.
Ooh! I wish I had a bench press.
Wow. Both feeling comfortable enough
to add an extra level of difficulty to the game.
Yeah, I don't do this pretty boy stuff.
I don't do this machine at the gym.
I lift calves.
Top line, bro.
One rep, that's enough.
The endurance ones kill me.
Feel the burn.
Now it becomes a mental game.
Ah-ha!
Who can push through that pain?
Stay up!
Oh, Jaden, thems are fighting words.
Winna breathing through it now.
You guys have been doing this for 20 minutes.
Well done!
(CLAPPING)
Well done.
The necklace would look better on you, bro.
Nah, nah.
You want that around your neck, Jay?
I would like to wear that thing. Looks nice.
It would look good on you.
That's beautiful.
It's a bit of a girlie necklace, eh. I was thinking more of a manly one.
So, Jaden, if you don't like the look of the necklace, Winna loves it.
Oh, yeah, no worries.
What?!
Oh! Winna got it.
Wow! Wow, JLP.
OK, just like that, Winna wins the first Individual Immunity.
Thank you.
Look at JLP. He's so confused!
Winna, congratulations.
Congrats, bro. Thanks, bro.
(EXHALES SHARPLY)
Winna, come on over.
(OTHERS WHOOP)
Yay, Winna. Let's go, Winna.
Thank you very much.
Turn around. Congratulations.
First Individual Immunity is yours.
Congratulations, you are safe tonight.
Cannot be voted out.
As for the rest of you, Tribal Council,
where one of you will become
the 11th person voted out of this game.
Won't be you or you, Valeria.
Everyone, head back to camp. I will see you tonight.
Thank you. See you tonight. Let's go, Winna!
This makes no sense. Yeah.
Winna and Val will both be safe tonight.
It's amazing.
And I am confident
that us OG Titans will stay strong.
We all know that Feras is a massive, massive threat.
So tonight, Feras is going to be...
(WIND BLOWS)
This first vote at the merge, this is probably the scariest part
of the game right now,
because you actually don't know where the lines are.
Yeah.
That the OG Titans, we've come into a good position.
Winna one Single Immunity.
Val's got safety without power -
she can't vote, she can't be voted for.
And so this first vote is crucial to get right.
Um, where are all our votes going?
But who do we actually want to go home?
I think Feras is more...
I think Ray. Do you think, Ray?
Yeah.
Voting out Ray, removing Feras' sort of right-hand man
makes sense tonight,
because I want to slowly dismantle other people's power structures
by voting out their key lieutenants.
And I know Feras could very well have an Idol.
So we'll have enough there to split, right?
Yeah.
I think boys on Ray and girls on Feras.
OK. Yes. That's right.
OK, let's get it out there. OK.
Hopefully tonight we're going to be tight and strong,
but also we can pull in a whole bunch of individuals
like Ri-Ri and Kirby and Alex
because I think they're just focused on surviving.
I'm thinking...I'm thinking Ray.
Ray? Yeah.
OK. Split Ray and Feras.
OK. Like, are you OK with that?
I know you guys are tight in there.
I was working with Ray a little bit.
But I'm very happy to sort of, like, stay alive because anyone with me,
so I trust you.
I feel like we've got a strong foundation
to move forward as a group
and really take control of this merged tribe.
Tribal Council tonight,
guaranteed lines will be drawn in the sand,
and hopefully we can keep that majority for as long as possible.
Yeah, exactly.
Exactly.
I'm always usually behind the eight ball, but I've noticed...
I don't believe it, I don't believe. Trust me.
'Cause there's one alliance...
Yeah. ..there's two here.
Mm-hm.
So this first vote, it's interesting who's calling the shots,
who thinks they're calling the shots and what's actually happening.
Hey, girl. Hey, girls.
So they're pretty much set to split up Feras and Raymond.
Split up Feras and Raymond? Caroline, Kitty?
That's a silly move.
Ri-Ri, I know that she's worked with Kitty and Caroline,
but there's no way in hell that I would vote for the original Rebels.
Girls.
Caroline and Kitty splitting the votes.
This is my chance.
An opportunity to get my revenge on these people.
Is it just to break them up?
Not only break them up,
she is a person who can potentially
win Immunity Idol at some point.
It is inconvenient for us. Yeah.
We need to get Kitty out of the game
because she took my girl out of this game, Viola.
And it was a dirty play.
But if it's you, Winna... Yeah.
..Kirby, Scotty,
Aileen, Raymond, Feras.
Yeah.
Hand on heart, hand on heart. Yeah. OK.
So for one, isn't it?
Yeah.
VALERIA: If we can get the majority, there shouldn't be anything
that can potentially prevent us from tonight's game plan.
I love a scramble in the wet.
Look at that tarp.
We're going to cop them with this wind, bro.
MAN: Oh, my God.
Oh, what happened?
Far out, man.
SCOTT: This first vote is tough,
and I came in here knowing that it was going to be.
But this hurricane of emotions and chaos
led to me sort of questioning a few things.
So what are you thinking? Like...
I feel like everyone's going on Kitty tonight,
and I feel like that's...
I don't want her to go.
It's only been a couple of days,
but I actually really like Kitty.
I get the most amazing energy from her,
and it's warm and it's loyal and it's kind,
and that's the person I want to play this game with.
Valeria? Yeah.
She has Mark in her pocket.
And if House of Valeria gets stronger...
I'm struggling to bite my tongue.
I have a very strong moral compass,
and Kitty's about to be blindsided.
And I don't think I can just sit by and let that go down.
To me?
Yes.
Let's just go for a walk.
Let's just talk life.
Don't worry about this.
OK. Let's go for a walk.
Come on.
Yeah.
He just said, the vote's coming for you.
That is sketchy as.
Kitty's name has just come up.
Um, Scotty just said, "I think everyone's coming for you tonight,
"and I don't want you to go home."
Whoa!
OK. That's interesting. Wow.
From Scott? Yeah.
From Scott. Wow.
I feel so upset and angry that my name was thrown out there.
I didn't think that it would happen,
so I was immediately on the defensive.
Why would Scotty tell you that? Exactly?
Why would he say that to me?
So we've got to find out from him where he's heard it from.
Yeah, yeah. Where are they?
Come in, come in.
So before you were saying, you think everyone's coming for me.
Yeah.
I feel like you should worry tonight.
Yeah.
But you don't know who...?
Well, no, but I've heard your name.
But from who? From who?
From, like, a few people.
Who are you telling? Tell me.
But then it's just gonna cause chaos, isn't it?
It doesn't matter.
Why wouldn't you tell me?
You either know or you don't. Well...
I thought... I feel like it's Mark.
And I feel like Val and him are definitely leading it.
So basically, it's Mark. It's Mark.
Mark and Val.
What? Yeah.
It could be possible that Mark and Valeria
are a pretty hell-bent on revenge from Viola,
but we just don't know what to actually believe.
Yeah.
What's...? (INDISTINCT)
Who is it?
Him.
You're throwing Kitty's name out? No.
That's what they said.
Yeah, that's what we're hearing.
Well, it's wrong.
That's what those guys are saying. Which guys?
Scotty and that.
Hm? I haven't spoken with Scott.
Scotty, I was hoping that, you know, we're all in the same page,
but obviously that wasn't the case.
Now I have to sort out this mess on my own
and figure out what I have to do
to make sure my plans are not undermined completely.
Your name wasn't even a part of our conversation
at any point of time because we are with you.
We don't know.
I don't know what's happening.
One of us is leaking information, and it's obviously not me
or you and Mark.
There was someone else out there. Who could it be? Let's think.
And poor Feras. Poor bastard was just standing there
and I was like, "Must have been him!
"It must have been Feras!"
He left us out so often when we were working with him
back then, he'd leave us out again.
It's not enough, That's right.
It looks like she...she bought it, which is great.
Like, hopefully now we're kind of safe.
How good, eh? The power couple, eh.
I know. I was so happy.
We're killing it. We're running it right now.
Yeah, I know, I know. Guys, can you pick up this?
Because, you know... Yeah.
They need to get on our level. Ha!
Kitty has come back and said that...
But I haven't said it and I haven't even spoken to Scott.
EDEN: In terms of tonight,
Mark and Val could definitely flip
and Survivor gods are like, "Sort this craziness out, Eden.
"You're the only one that can do it."
Them saying that they've just heard your name is crazy to me.
So I haven't heard that at all.
OK, so I was thinking we just all load on Ray.
Yeah, yeah. Just to stop the split vote.
Yeah. OK. So I reckon just do that.
This is the merge boat.
Not until you vote someone and you see their name
will you know where all these groups are at?
So I know we need a backup plan at Tribal Council.
Oh, it was all different kinds of stuff.
Val...
Val saying different stuff.
I know Alex will do anything to stay in this game,
and we're gonna take advantage of that today.
So what they're talking about now, we all just put our stuff on Ray.
OK. What are your thoughts?
I just want your thoughts. Yeah, I'm happy with that, man.
Yeah. OK.
So, Ray.
With Ray, OK? OK.
You're not having that jacket. That's my jacket.
No, I just want to use it for now.
OK, but I'm keeping it.
Yeah, because it's the only thing that keeps me warm at night time.
Yeah, I'm not stealing it.
Don't steal it. But I'll need it tonight.
It's the only thing that keeps me warm at night.
I'm not touching it tonight. No, no, no.
I'm just saying, the only reason I hadn't worn it
is because I don't want it to get wet.
Yeah. All good.
If this tribe was a soap opera,
it would probably be Days Of Our Lives.
I mean, I honestly thought that we'd come in OG tight and strong
and look at us.
There's no way we can be OG tight and strong.
Mark and Val have been playing
Academy Award-winning performances.
Do I trust them? No.
What the hell is going on?
There's a lot of shit going on.
I don't really have much power tonight, so.
Yeah.
It was splitting the numbers and therefore, you know,
they've got a chance.
It's too many of us, but... So many of us.
(DRAMATIC MUSIC PLAYS)
It's really going to be on tonight.
I think the knives are going to be out.
The plan tonight is to snuff Raymond's torch.
But I can't give any certainty
about anything that's happening tonight.
I just...
I have to have faith that Alex will play his Idol
and Kitty will be safe tonight.
When it comes to Kitty and Caroline...
..they're gonna receive their karma.
And I can't wait to demolish these guys one by one.
Valeria, you can come on through and just take a seat on the bench.
No questions for you tonight.
No vote, no chance of you going home.
You just get to sit back and enjoy the show.
Incredible. It's like being on the other side.
Yeah.
So, Winna, this first Tribal after merge
is always one of the most dangerous.
What does it feel like sitting there with that necklace,
knowing no matter what happens tonight, you're not going anywhere?
Yeah. Look, it feels good, Jonathan. It feels good.
But I think after having a chat with everyone earlier,
I feel like other people need this more than myself.
I'm hearing these agendas and Plan As, Plan Bs.
A few lies popping up, as expected.
There's a lot going on, and I think we might be going to war tonight.
And I'm sure there's a lot of people
that prefer having this than myself today.
Raymond, do you feel like your head's going to explode
with all the possibilities tonight?
Yes.
I think that I know what's going on.
But there's also a side that I don't know what's going on.
There's usually multiple layers to these Tribal Councils,
and I think I'm on layer one, so that's pretty scary.
Yet, you know what's going on?
I hope so.
My head's on the chopping block if I don't, which it could happen.
Well, Alex, I know that you're a numbers guy.
So when you got 13 votes and at least one Idol in the mix,
I mean, you...you fessed up to that.
How do you...how do you decide on a plan when there
are just so many variables?
It's really difficult, Jonathan,
especially with so many people.
Like, I'm trying to get around and have conversations with everyone
and trying to formulate some sort of plan,
but you've got so many different variables
and it's like dealing with X, Y, Z,
A, B, C, D, E, F, G.
So it's really tough, not gonna lie.
This is the most important Tribal Council,
the first one after merge.
It sets the tone, it sets the precedent, lines are drawn.
People understand where everyone's sitting.
Like it's...it's a huge Tribal Council.
Caroline, do you expect lines to be drawn this evening?
There were so many conversations today
and so much confusion,
but I feel like by the end of this Tribal Council
that we'll know where quite a few lines are drawn.
So, Kitty, with so much confusion going on,
is it possible that someone
could take advantage of that confusion
and push a different plan tonight?
Well, absolutely, Jonathan.
I think tonight was super, super interesting.
So my name was thrown out there tonight.
There's a big chance that I could go home tonight.
But I know who put my name out there.
I think sometimes people underestimate me.
You know, I'm not this, like, little fitness bunny.
I've built two businesses from scratch
to multiple seven figures,
which will go to eight figures next year.
So if I don't go home...
Tomorrow it is game on.
That was ruthless.
That it is ruthless. Or mad.
And I know who put my name out there.
And I'm going to be gunning for you hard.
Wow, it is all happening tonight.
So, Mark, did you hear that?
Yeah, I heard that, yes.
And what do you make of that?
I don't underestimate Kitty at all.
To be honest, I don't underestimate anyone here.
We've all actually come through quite a lot to get here.
And, you know, we were at merge.
Everyone here is a super threat.
We've gone up to another level.
And so, yeah, I agree with Kitty 100%.
It's definitely game on.
Well, you may as well go out fighting, you know.
Don't you think? Like, why play it safe?
I'd rather be remembered and go out with a fight.
So, Scott...
..Kitty just laid it down.
What do you make of that?
Um...
Being a highly creative and empathic person,
I feel like I feel emotions very highly and very strongly
and have my whole life.
And that can be a blessing and a curse.
And I'm looking around and I'm seeing all these amazing people
and they're all here, ready and willing to play this game at merge,
which is a dream come true that I'm wearing this on my head.
But...
..I don't want to take that chance away from someone else,
who's ready and here and willing to play,
when I might not mentally be in the game right now.
You have no idea how sort of bad my head's been these last 24 hours.
And this sort of war that's going on up there.
So I don't think I'd feel right sitting here,
in potentially someone else's stool, after tonight.
OK, so you want to leave the game?
You have no idea how sort of bad my head's been.
OK. So you want to leave the game?
Yes.
Well, Scott, I'm a little confused because whenever I see you,
you seem very happy and very engaged in the game.
Yes.
I'm... I'm extremely positive,
and I tried to sort of see the best in everything.
That's just how I've always been, as long as I can remember.
Um, but being out here, it's a whole different battlefield.
And for someone like me, who deals with mental health issues,
and I normally channel that in a creative way,
not having that ability to put the game down
and just be able to sort of refocus is extremely difficult at times.
And sort of once you're faced with the hunger and the no sleep
and all of the other elements to this game,
it leaves you sort of with nowhere to run.
So, Kirby, you've lived with Scott on the beach.
Have you noticed any struggle from Scott?
Yeah, we've been hot, I think, from day six.
Yeah.
And in the last couple of days,
and you can kind of see it deteriorating.
We're living in wet conditions.
Wet wood.
No, like, food or fire.
So you can see how it can start to challenge people mentally.
Um, but I support Scotty 110%.
Whatever he chooses to do, I'll... I'll back that always.
Thanks, Kirby.
And Kirby's been amazing out here.
She's been like a sister, like,
literally pulling me through sometimes!
So, Eden, as a fan of the game,
do you get a sense of how difficult this decision might be for Scott?
We've only had a day and a half together.
Day two!
But he is such an amazing person
with such a kind energy and he knows what he needs.
And mental health is such a huge...
It's such a huge hurdle that we all face.
And for someone like yourself to know what you need right now,
like, hats off to you.
Yeah, you're super brave. That's really...
'Cause I know if I was in a similar situation,
it would be so hard for me to do that as well.
It's a teary tribal!
I've had the most amazing journey here and the wildest adventure,
and I've made friends for life here, like, that's for sure.
And this has been a dream of mine since being a kid.
So, like, the fact that I'm sat here is insane.
Alright, well, because Scott has chosen to leave the game,
there's really no need for us to go ahead with the vote.
So, Scott, you can say your goodbyes, grab your gear, bring me your torch.
Thanks, guys.
Uh.
Thank you. It's been so amazing.
Oh, Kirby-werby.
I love you. Look after yourself.
Yes. And you're all going to do so well.
You better not leave without hugging me!
I'm going to miss you so much.
Kitty, just run with it.
Just take care of you, OK? Yes.
OK, let's do this.
Wild.
We'll be thinking of you. Love you, Scotty.
This is so crazy.
Well, in a game that's all about decisions,
I guess tonight, Scott, you have spoken.
What an awfully-big adventure.
See you later, wonderful humans.
See you, guys. See you later.
Bye.
Well, if we learnt anything about this game tonight,
it's that you should always put yourself first.
Grab your torches, head back to camp.
Good night. Thanks, JLP.
Thank you.
That was interesting.
WHISPERS: That was interesting.
Tomorrow night on Australian Survivor...
Mark, you arsehole!
..the end-game is here...
Never felt more like I was sleeping beside the enemy.
..and it is about to explode.
My paranoia is like 200% now,
but if I'm gonna go out, I may as well go out with a bang.
The battle for power...
I'm sick of not being in control of this game.
I need to be able to blindside
and just shoot a whole alliance down.
That's fun to me.
..has only just begun.
It's time to show all these little kids who the real players are.
It is now time to be as cutthroat as possible.
And I'm so bloody excited.
