Okay.
Tribal Council was chaotic.
Kane, the tribe has spoken.
FRANNIE: In this game, it's been Ratu against Soka,
with Tika floating in the middle.
And they didn't loop me in on a plan to vote out Kane.
-How you doing, Frannie? -I don't know. I'm just...
I'm just frustrated 'cause I-I would have voted for Kane.
So I don't understand why nobody wanted to tell me.
I realized that every single person
on the beach lied to me.
So, as of right now,
it sort of seems like I have no one on my side.
CAROLYN: So nobody stuck with the plan, or what?
I didn't know the actual plan.
I'm very confused because I was left out of the vote
and I feel like our Ratu numbers are starting to dwindle.
It's only me and Jaime left,
and now my extra vote's gone,
but it seems like it was just used for no reason.
So I could be next or Jaime could be next.
Apparently, everybody didn't know every plan.
CARSON: Everyone was saying this was such a chaotic Tribal,
and, like, no one really knew the plan.
I knew the plan. [laughs]
I do want to tell you something, Jaime,
but it's, like, more of a private thing.
-JAIME: Yeah, we can talk. -Okay.
I focused my game upon relationships,
and so it's really important for me
to focus on damage control.
I was wanting to work with Kane,
but I wasn't really sure where his loyalty lies.
Okay.
-But, like... -That makes me not trust him.
CARSON: And I explained to Jaime,
Kane had been telling everybody that she had an idol.
In reality, I had told everybody that she had an idol,
but Kane's gone, so I can say whatever I want.
I love being able to make up lies about people
who aren't in this game who can defend themselves.
It's wonderful.
I didn't know how close you were.
-Especially if that was true. -Yeah.
No, I'm really grateful that you told me.
-I appreciate that. -I won't tell anybody else.
JAMIE: Tonight at
Tribal Council, my number-one ally,
Kane, was voted out with my idol.
It's the worst thing that could happen inSurvivor.
It's like, "No! Come back!"
Like, we'll definitely talk to tomorrow.
I just wanted to, like, give you some
-peace of mind... -Yes.
Right now, it's kind of a tricky situation,
because I didn't tell anybody that I gave Kane
the idol to protect it from Knowledge Is Power,
but people are still suspicious that I might have the idol.
So, to combat that,
I either need to come clean
or find a new idol.

this becomes a whole different question.

I would have loved tacos,

to get letters from?
-What? -[sniffles]
YAM YAM: The fact that I know that my letter
is in Jeff's hand, and I'm not gonna be able to read it--
it's heartbreaking. I was looking forward
to reading a letter from Karim,
my husband.
He always writes really nice stuff.
My mother-- she's, like, super energetic
and she always gives me strength.
It would have been nice to read some letters

and you're talking to us 'cause we're close.
-It's real. -Yeah.
The only good thing about being here is that
I get to sit down with Jaime and Danny,
which I really haven't talked serious strategy,
and lay out a plan that may benefit us.
How do you be a good player and not look at Frannie
as somebody that needs to be taken out?
-She's three and 0. Um... -CARSON: Yeah.
She's three and 0, no one's beating Frannie, and
she knows puzzles, she's a beast at comps.
-I agree. I agree. I agree. -She can balance.
She has strength.
CARSON: As of this morning, Frannie wasn't even
on the radar, but she's won three
out of the five individual challenges.
That's saying something, and so,
being able to use that against her
can be a really effective strategy
to kind of bond us together
because we didn't get to eat the delicious food.
We didn't get to read our family letters
from home, and so, now,
tides have shifted. It could be Frannie going home next.

-and, like, you know what I mean? -Thank you so much.
Like, that's so human and so...
Ugh. Like, I just... I appreciate it.
Frannie, like, thank you.
FRANNIE: As soon as I knew I was gonna have
to choose people, I couldn't help but think
about the moms out here on this island,

I want to build a relationship with.
I don't always feel like I fit in.
And she is so unabashedly herself that
it's inspiring to me.
CAROLYN: I'm so nervous.
HEIDI: I am, too. I'm not gonna lie.
-Oh. All right. -[crying, sniffling]
[sniffling]
You know, my daddy is not, like, an emotional person.
And, like...
[crying]
Both of my boys--
they were just letting me know, like, they're doing so well.
But for my dad-- that was probably the most memorable.
Him saying like, "When others doubted you,
you always persevered." And it's so true, like...
Being married and then going through a divorce--
like, I'm single, on my own, like,
and many people in my family have been, like, on welfare.
And, like, my dad was like, "You're gonna...
"you're gonna have to figure something out because...
because you're gonna be that way."
And I was like, "No, I'm not."
I went, and I got two jobs.
I went back to school, and I got my master's.
And then, even withSurvivor, like,
I'm telling my family, I'm like,
"I'm gonna apply for that show and I'm gonna go."
And they're like, "No, you're not."
Then, I'm freaking here. Like,
I have surpassed, like, everybody's expectations,
and I'm a living example for other women to know,
like, doesn't matter your circumstance.
You can do it.
It's crazy to think a letter can mean so much.
CAROLYN: Yeah.
And my son hates writing.
Like, he doesn't like writing at all.
So it's, like, this is probably the most he's ever...
-[laughter] -I've never seen him draw anything like that.
I don't even know what that is.

CAROLYN: I feel like I had a good relationship with Frannie,
but going on this reward with her, like,
took it to a whole new level.
And I know that Frannie's a threat, and, like...
But I'm like, "I don't want to ever vote her out now."
To see you, Frannie, winning--
I'm literally living through you, and I think
we should keep up the whole, like, women winning.
HEIDI: I agree.
-After all, we got this. -LAUREN: Yeah. -FRANNIE: Yes.
-Yes. -LAUREN: Yeah. -CAROLYN: Okay.
We're not just talking, we're real?
-I'm manifesting it. -CAROLYN: What do you mean?
Tomorrow, we're gonna win it.
Oh, I thought you were saying, "Vote Danny out."
[laughter]
-I'm down for it. -CAROLYN: When are you ready
-to let go of Danny? -FRANNIE: Yeah, yeah.
-Let's-let's ask that question. -That's the true question.
I have no ties to Danny. We never said "Oh, final two."
'Cause we both know we're gonna kick each other out
whenever it's time to.
-It's time tomorrow. -Well, is it time to?
It-it could be.
CARSON: I'm not...
Heidi will vote out Frannie next-next Tribal 100%.
That's the only thing-- like, the letters.
JAIME: With Carolyn, I know that that's gonna be tough.
So you guys have to come up with the story
that you're gonna tell her.
Like, what name is she gonna write down?
DANNY: Well, if you want a really believable plan?
-what's that? -We could just say we're trying to flush your idol.
And that'll be really... that'll be really cool.
-Do you want me to tell you what happened to my idol? -Yes.
JAIME: It's time to come clean.
The only reason that my name
was ever brought up or ever written down
is because they thought that I had the idol.
-Okay, so... -Do you have an idol?
I hadan idol.
We thought that somebody had
Knowledge Is Power, so Lauren gave me
her extra vote to protect it.
I gave my idol to Kane.
Kane was voted out. The idol's gone.
Wow.
It's a good story.
That's just what it is. It's a story.
Actually, um, I take that back.
It's a horrible story. It's absolute B.S.
Isn't it such an unbelievable story, though?
They're gonna be like, "Yeah, right.
You gave your idol to Kane?"
-Like, I legit don't have the idol. -Yeah.
JAIME: After coming clean,
I really believe the target is off my back.
I do believe that Danny,
Yam Yam and Carson believed me.
Yeah, that story's total B.S.
CARSON: And now we're doing an idol search
-because there's one out there. -DANNY: No, no, yeah.
You know, good on her for at least trying that.
CARSON: It was so good.
It's honestly put her more on my radar
-because it's like, "Wow, she's good." -Yeah.
-All right. -Hmm?
DANNY: My game plan moving forward now is simple.
If Frannie loses an immunity challenge,
we vote her out.
If she wins, we vote Jaime out or flush the idol.
I can get Heidi on board.
Does your gut say it's too early for...
-For Danny? -Mm-hmm.
No. Uh, he wouldn't expect it.
It has to be a blindside.
Danny and I are close allies, but I want to make sure
they know that I'm here to play the game.
It's not just I'm saving Danny. I'm actually playing this game
for myself and for my family, not for Danny.
Va Va.
Good morning.
Welcome home.
I was up at the crack of dawn just waiting
for the women to come home because
I was so excited to finally share
the truth about my idol.
I did have the idol.
Because we were fearful of Pow... Knowledge Is Power,
I gave my idol
to Kane to hold, and then Kane was voted off,
-and he walked away with it. -Are you serious?
JAIME: It feels good.
I'm finally free!
The truth shall set you free.
Oh, my God, Jaime, why didn't you, like, stop it?
Oh, but it's so public. I would have been like, "Stop!"
I would... I know.
JAIME: Lying and keeping secrets
is the name of the game,
but it's a lot of weight on your chest, so,
I love being honest. [laughs]
Don't tell anyone when I said that.
-I appreciate you saying that. -Yeah, totally.
I mean, I had heard that you had one.
I smell bull. Oh, no.
Oh, man. How great is it?
FRANNIE: Are you kidding me?
Really? You know, Jaime, do you think we're that silly?
It's too much.
What, does she think we're all idiots?
FRANNIE: And the fact that she can lie
right to your face only exacerbates for me
the idea that Jaime's a dangerous player in this game.

-cannot be voted out. -Oh.

Grab your stuff, head back to camp.
-See tonight a Tribal. Congrats. -Thank you.
-YAM YAM: Congrats, Carson. -Thank you.
DANNY: Not winning's never fun.
But I'm happy it wasn't Frannie. So,
tonight's Tribal, if it goes exactly how I want,
Frannie goes home.
She's a powerhouse in this game
and nobody wants to go to the final three with her.
We have an opportunity right now to strike. Let's strike.
DANNY: Way to go, Carson.
-That puzzle was awesome. -Right. All right.
FRANNIE: Of course I wanted Jeff to put
the immunity necklace around me for the third time,
but there's kind of a sense of renegade excitement in me
that I don't have that security tonight.
-What do you think? Would you rather Jaime or Yam? -Um...
I am... I will be absolutely fine.
FRANNIE: I have had some sort of security
every single Tribal Council I've gone to.
So, I kind of haven't had a chance yet in this game
to put my social strategy to the test.
And I love tests, you know?
I...
Yeah.
I-I just keep thinking Danny, but again...
-HEIDI: I'm okay with that. -Yeah, I'm good with Danny.
Me, neither.
-HEIDI: Yeah. -I'd rather just...
Like, we all know she has an idol.
Carson, you're the necklace holder.
-What do you think? -I don't know.
My idea would be to split it between the two of them--
three-three-- and on a revote,
if Jaime doesn't play her idol, vote her.
Okay.
So what are you thinking?
DANNY: Nobody's beating Frannie.
Who wants to sit with her at the final three?
I mean... [laughs]
-Are you down for that? -I'm down.
Danny brings up Frannie's name,
which is mind-blowing to me,
because Danny hasn't been one to talk strategy with me.
And then, also, I just went on a reward with her
at the sanctuary.
What about you?
Yeah.
We wanted to vote out Danny at the sanctuary,
but I do think it could be a good idea
to vote Frannie out of the game,
being that she has won so many immunities.
-Everybody's on board with that? -Mm-hmm.
-Yeah. -All right.
YAM YAM: The fact that Frannie lost the challenge
is huge for the tribe, 'cause now we can target her.
But I think Jaime's the biggest threat out here right now.
She might have an idol.
There's only eight of us, and right now,
Tika is making all the decisions.
So I have to talk to Carson to see what he wants to do.
Danny wants to get Frannie out.
Yeah, so then, we can take...
But I also want to get Jaime out.
I know. I want to get Jaime out, too.
We just got to choose which one we want to do.
And it's complicated 'cause I don't really know what's best.
I want you, me and Carolyn to be the closest to each other.
What I see brewing is Carolyn forming
-a closer bond with Frannie. -YAM YAM: Yeah.
[Carolyn groans]
CARSON: I think Carolyn might have found a number one.
-That's... -If you're feeling like we're gonna lose Carolyn
because Frannie's here, I think
getting rid of Frannie's the best option.
But Carolyn gets really annoyed
when she's not included in stuff.
True. It's scary.
YAM YAM: Carson and I-- we might vote out Frannie,
but the worst thing that could happen would be
that Carolyn finds out about it because
she might not be our ally anymore.
Who's everybody?
HEIDI: Danny wants to target Frannie, and Frannie is trying
to split between Jaime and Danny.
Those are the three names I've heard from different plans.
I don't know what's gonna happen.
I don't feel good with any of them, in all honesty.
But if I feel weird, I do have an idol.
I am bringing it tonight.
Depending how I feel at the moment,
I may or may not play it.
Are we comfortable? Like, is someone going rogue?
-I don't think so. -Danny's... voting for,
-um, Frannie. -What?
He told me, "I don't need your number
if you don't feel comfortable."
What. Wait. What?
So, who does he think is voting with him?
Well, I think... I thought he saw... He thought you guys.
-Not me. -Not me.
CAROLYN: The plan was, split it between Jaime and Danny.
That was the plan, I thought.
And then, I start hearing
this stuff about Frannie.
So he's saying because he doesn't need you for the vote?
-It doesn't matter. -Well, what is he doing then?
Danny tells Heidi, "Oh, I don't need you for a vote.
I already have the numbers."
He would never say that to Heidi.
Something doesn't make sense.
Not knowing who exactly is voting
for you if that's the vote they've planned?
CAROLYN: Something's not right.
People are scared.
"Frannie wins all the immunities." Who ca...
Like, I'm not voting Frannie this vote,
and they know that, probably, and are leaving me out.
I'm pissed.
I think it's stupid.
Well, I know we always haven't all been on the same page,
but, like, seriously,
are we gonna let Danny control another vote?
Yes. Yeah.
[laughs]
-Us four and one more. -CAROLYN: But, um, split?
-Maybe Carson. -FRANNIE: Do you want...
-Let's ... do it. -Let's do it.
Oh, let's ... do it.
Every single time everybody thinks they have a plan,
she goes around and she freaks out.
And yet, she's the one who... She's...
-Then ask him. -FRANNIE: Yeah. Perfect.
-That was good. -Hmm. Yeah.
[Carolyn whoops]
This is what we're doing now.
Okay, I-I don't know if I'm in yet, but tell me.
Me, Frannie, you,
Lauren, Jaime for Heidi.
[laughs]
I don't like... I don't like the last-minute thing.
Sometimes the last-minute stuff is the best.
CARSON: We have this plan for Frannie,
but all of a sudden, Carolyn and Frannie are trying
to now move the numbers to Heidi.
And so, I'm just trying to figure out
what the best course of action is from now.
-I need to have a conversation -Mm-hmm. I don't...
with Yam Yam and Lauren and-and Jaime.
The best move for me, I feel like,
would be to take out Frannie, but doing so
would really risk my relationship with Carolyn.
But I do want Heidi out. I can see right through her.
She is working this game pretty well,
and she is a big threat.
CARSON: But I'm really not sure what is going to happen.
And it's stressful, it's chaotic.
I just wanted it to be simple,
but that never happens with this group.
In this game, I feel like I've really tapped into
both of my chaotic and clever side,
but right now I'm, like, in full chaotic mode,
and I know there's going to be a betrayal either way.
I just have to decide who I am betraying.
♪ ♪
All right, let's start with the reward challenge.
Frannie, you win your third
individual challenge, and with it,
the power to choose three people to go with you
on the biggest reward of the season.
Sanctuary, food, letters from home. Let's debate.
Is there a case to be made that it's better to be chosen
-for that reward than to win? -FRANNIE: Oh, yeah.
You know, I wanted to win the challenge. I wanted tacos,
and I wanted to be in the sanctuary.
But, you know, you never want to be the one who has to decide
who gets their letters from home.
PROBST: And Danny, make the other case--
why you want to win a challenge that shows
you're a competitor and you're in charge.
DANNY: Jeff, there's a bunch
of Survivorlegends out there, and they're legends
not because they lose a lot, it's 'cause they win a lot.
Frannie put on three performances
where she kicked ass, and the game ain't over yet, so, yeah,
you want to play to win the season, but also,
you don't want to just be good. You want to be great.
You want to be one of those players-- the Robs,
the Parvs, the Jeremys.
These are legends. Like,
-why not strive for that? -PROBST: I agree with you.
That's the only way to play Survivor
is full tilt boogie every single second of every single day.
-Wow. Full tilt boogie. -[laughter]
I don't know what full tilt boogie is.
Probably like this. I don't know.
Full tilt boogie's a state of mind.
-Oh, yeah. -PROBST: It's like
you could call it "Club Condo."
You can call it whatever you want.
It's just a state of mind.
So did I full tilt boogie at the sanctuary?
You could full tilt boogie at the sanctuary.
I don't know if you did or not.
-Oh, I did. -PROBST: Okay.
[laughter]
PROBST: So, Yam Yam, what does it say about this game
when the better you do, the bigger the target becomes?
YAM YAM: This is a game of doing great things and knowing
how to smoke-and-mirror it, you know?
This is a very difficult game to play, you know?
You want to be great,
but being great maybe is not the best thing always.
-I'm not winning. -[laughter]
I don't have to worry about that, you know?
-But... -PROBST: Jaime, Yam Yam said it really well.
That's why the great players are great, is somehow,
they were great, and they still got to the end,
and they still won in many cases.
JAIME: It is a balancing act.
Another example is when somebody finds an idol, like myself.
You automatically have
a giant target on your back. And I just want to make it
extremely clear to everyone, Jeff.
My idol walked out the door
at the last Tribal Council with Kane.
So, I'm saying this again so that there are no secrets.
I don't have the idol any longer, sadly,
and now, I'm hoping that everyone believes me.
PROBST: Carolyn, here's another example.
Finding an idol, earning an advantage really, really good.
-Yeah. -PROBST: And then, suddenly, you're Jaime
going, "I'm so sorry. I promise I don't have it anymore.
"You can check my bag. I swear I didn't mean to...
I'm so... Please don't vote me out."
-[laughter] -Exactly.
CAROLYN: It is such a balancing act.
I've been battling this the whole time I've been here.
I don't want to be too loud,
but I don't... I want to be relevant.
But you can't say anything,
but you got to trust people.
-It's stressful. PROBST: Jaime,
you have eight people here,
eight different plans to get to the end.
And Frannie winning some challenges
is one layer to a reason you might think
of voting somebody out. There are all kinds
of things going on in this tribe
-that factor into the vote. -JAIME: Yes.
That's what I love about this new era of Survivor
is it is new. Every single day,
it's a brand-new game.
So, the people that you worked with last Tribal,
you might not talk to them at all this Tribal.
It's always gonna be different
because everyone's motives are different,
and depending on what happens that day,
it might change who you work with altogether.
So, the era of alliances...
is over.
PROBST: Danny,
what scares you most about the game right now?
DANNY: Uh, to be honest, Jeff, we genuinely,
like, all really get along.
So now, like, it's no secret, like, me and Lauren have been
on the opposite sides of voting.
But, like, on, like, a personal level,
I love the hell out of this-this woman.
But it's also scary
because everybody else has those relationships.
-LAUREN: Yeah. -DANNY: And it could be,
"Oh, now that friendship has evolved into an alliance."
PROBST: Frannie, you were nodding in agreement.
Oh, yeah. I thought one of the great certainties
in this game is that
Danny and Lauren didn't have a strategic relationship.
-Yeah. -You know? You can't sleep
on any permutation in this game.
-Wow. -Right?
Anybody can talk to anyone and be working
with anyone at any time.
-It's crazy. -[laughter]
You know? You see everybody here laughing,
-but everybody's, like, nervous. -CAROLYN: Yeah.
This was my most stressful day, and I had immunity.
I hear one plan,
and then someone else might leave. Then the plan changes.
Then someone else leaves, plan changes again.
We add a person, plan changes.
So I would not be surprised
if we had about 20 different plans going on today.
It is pure pandemonium, like, legitimately.
Heidi, can a plan get detoured with one comment?
Yes, especially when you have so many uncertainties out there.
If you hear something that is, like, high alert, like, "Okay,
I'm not going with that plan. I'm going with this other plan."
100%. There's so many plans. None of us are solid.
So I truly think,
you say the wrong thing, and you could go home.
PROBST: I feel like I have to ask
before we go to the vote, are we good to vote?
Okay, in that case,
it is time to vote. Danny, you're up.

YAM YAM: Leaving Carolyn out of this vote--
it backfired.
PROBST: Next time onSurvivor...
CARSON: I've worked so hard, but it's all crumbling down.
JAIME: Now, Lauren and I have all the power.
I didn't come here to take part.
I came here to take over.
I put my game to the test tonight, and I failed.
And I don't fail tests,
but I feel like a stronger, more powerful woman.
I beasted challenges. What? [laughs]
