Hey.
YAM YAM: I said it 100,000 times.
If somebody has it, it's Carolyn.
CAROLYN: Tribal Council tonight was amazing.
People...
were shocked and said, "Whoa, that's really good.
And that... Oh, my gosh."
I played an idol for Carson.
This is a hidden immunity idol.
Any votes cast for Carson will not count.
CAROLYN: And Danny went home.
-Danny... the tribe has spoken. -Hmm.
YAM YAM: Love you, Danny.
CAROLYN: Got to whip an idol out.
Nobody expected that, no one.
Like, "Carolyn did that?"
CAROLYN: Even though, technically,
I didn't need to play my idol,
I still don't regret playing it.
I assured that me and Carson and Yam Yam are still together,
and that's what we needed. That was the most important.
YAM YAM: Girl!
-Yes. -So the red... I'm the bandit.
-(Carson gasps) -CAROLYN: And so, what happened...
-HEIDI: (laughs) Carolyn. -LAUREN: Oh, yeah, tell us.
CAROLYN: I found it the first day we did the search.
So what was that-- like, day two or three?
So I grabbed it, I put it in my pants,
and I just ran, and I went to the shelter, and I, like...
For some reason, my brain said like, "Just do something crazy."
-So I made a red X, so I got a... -CARSON: I love that.
YAM YAM: I always knew that Carolyn is super intelligent.
I always knew that Carolyn is a great Survivor player.
But she let now everybody know she's good.
CAROLYN: The fake idol?
I thought Yam Yam found it,
so if you didn't find it, it was Sarah.
-CAROLYN: Yes. -Yeah.
YAM YAM: It's like, "Girl, shut up."
Your target keeps getting bigger and bigger.
All your craziness is not craziness anymore.
And I'm personally a little afraid of her.
But none of it makes sense. It might be, like, cute.
CAROLYN: It doesn't, though. Like... It did get...
-JAIME: So she thinks that she walked out... -No, it's not.
Don't think I'm, like, some, like, good player now because
-I did a stupid... No. -JAIME: But do you think that...
JAIME: I think Carolyn
is an example of...
don't judge a book by its cover.
She may lead with emotions and distract with emotions,
but it's very calculated,
and that's how you know she's a good game player.
(snoring)
CARSON: I wake up this morning, and Heidi is kind of stirring.
She's checking the light to make sure
that it's bright enough to see, and then,
she slowly gets up
and walks around and acts
like she's gonna go use the bathroom.
No, no, no, no. She's looking for an idol.
Because Carolyn played an idol,
people assume there's another idol out there.
I believe there's an idol out there.
And so, I immediately run over to Carolyn, and I'm like,
"Carolyn, Heidi's looking. We've got to go."
Everyone knows if they find an idol,
it could change the entire course
of this game.
HEIDI: I have an idol in my pocket,
and I have not shared that with anybody.
But even with the idol, I don't feel completely comfortable.
I'm the last Soka member alive in this game,
and I think in everyone's mind,
Heidi's probably the easy vote next.
So, imagine if I had two idols.
I could buy two Tribal Councils back-to-back,
and then I could position myself
in the final four.
But everyone's looking because this is a huge opportunity
if anybody can find it
this late in the game.
Got a lizard egg.
No idol.
Oh, Carolyn, you know what?
We saw something at the top of this tree over here.
No, I'm not... Oh, and you're telling me about it?
Yeah. I'm not gonna climb up there and get it.
Are you luring me? Is there a trap?
LAUREN: I have no idea what game Carolyn is playing.
Like, I've never seen a player like Carolyn before.
She's fooling all of us.
-Where? -At this tree right here.
Carolyn does seem
like she doesn't know what's going on,
or just, like, she plays that role, like she's clueless.
But underneath it all, she got some strategy going on.
CAROLYN: Girl.
Oh, hell... Lauren!
-(laughing) -Laur... (laughs)
The coc... You want me to get the coconut?
You could probably get the coconut.
-You want the coconut? -Yeah, go get it.
No!
She's so confusing, but she's so lovable,
and it's just, like.. it's weird, man.
And it's-it's scaring me a little bit.
It really is. (laughs)
(Carolyn screams)
LAUREN: I'm down for it just being s four.
-Yeah. -Yeah.
Who do y'all want to go next?
I think Carolyn.
-For real. -Mm-hmm.
-LAUREN: She shouldn't have told us the story. -CARSON: No.
LAUREN: She shouldn't have told us the story.
-Yeah. -Yeah, she shouldn't have told us that.
And she's gonna be pissed at me,
-but she's playing a great game. -JAIME: Yeah.
Y'all, she probably got something else up her sleeve,
-too. -Mm-hmm.
I feel like Jaime and Lauren are buying what I'm saying, but
in reality, I want to stay with Carolyn and Yam Yam.
I think it's time for a Ratu member to go now.
But in order for Ratu to feel secure,
I need Yam Yam and I to pretend
that we are working with Lauren and Jaime.
We all have to do that, though. Y'all are the ones.
She...
Okay, I will make sure...
Considering that Lauren and Jaime and Yam Yam and I have
worked together for the last two Tribals,
they feel very comfortable, and that's great, but
they shouldn't because one of them's going next.
Come on in!
Survivor 44, what do we have in store?
All right, you ready to get to today's reward challenge?
-(all voicing assent) -(cheering)
For today's challenge, we're gonna randomly divide
into two teams of three.
One player will be strapped inside a giant ball.
They will guide their two blindfolded tribe members
as you push the ball through a long, winding course
to a table maze where the person,
still inside the ball, will guide
the still-blindfolded tribe members
as they race to finish the maze.

Just, like, Carolyn playing that idol.
Yeah.
-Her threat level went up. -Yeah.
-Like, big time. -Yeah.
Carolyn is, like, a huge threat.
-And she's playing a lot harder than everyone notices. -Yeah.
CARSON: So, like, my ideal is Carolyn next. It is what it is.
At this point,
my goal is to make Lauren feel as comfortable as possible
because I want Lauren to think that I'm working with her 100%
when in reality, I'm not.

we're coming back to camp, and
I'm thinking, "There's only six people."
Tika-- they're a threat because they're three strong.
So, we have to break that up.
HEIDI: Only three of us.
This is what it will feel like at the end.
JAIME: With Carolyn here, it's perfect timing
to make that happen.
I think the three of us
should be thinking about one of them.
Who are the biggest threats left, what would you guys say?

a million dollars, then take him

I mean, that's literally...
Like, I'm not okay with him winning, so my vote...
That's where my vote's going.
CAROLYN: Jaime started talking about Carson,
and "we got to get Carson out."
And I do believe that Carson is this big threat.
But I can't lose Carson yet.
I may be emotional, but I'm not, like, dumb.
I still need my numbers. I don't want
Lauren, Heidi and Jaime to team up.
I know that Carson can't go to the end with me, but we need him
for at least one more vote.
Oh, I hate saying that!
That's my baby.
I don't either. I'd rather be you, Yam Yam and I.

-I cannot trust Lauren and Jaime. -Mm-hmm.
HEIDI: I lost my biggest ally, Danny, but I'm still here, and
there's a couple of plans out there.
For me, myself, I think the final three should
probably be Yam Yam, Carolyn and I.
But I don't trust anybody right now.
Luckily, I have something that could help me,
and that something's an idol in my pocket.
I-I... That's my worry.
But I'm trying to think logically,
but I do think that...
-Ah! Welcome! -CARSON: Did you all
-get some rice in your bellies? -Not yet.
Look at how beautiful you all look.
Girl, we smell amazing.
Can you burp in my mouth? In my nose?
-(Yam Yam burps) -Oh. -(laughter)
YAM YAM: We walk into camp, and Carolyn wants
to smell my burps so she knew how the food smell.
That's out there, that's a first.
I wanted to smell chocolate!
(burps)
She enjoyed that.
I felt kind of gross after that, to be honest.
But he smelled good. His beard, everything.
It's torturous.
Look, Jaime's been pitching you all afternoon.
-Really? -And obviously, everybody's like...
And I've just been saying, "Oh, yeah,
it makes sense. It makes sense."
CARSON: They're trying to split us up.
-Me, Yam Yam and you. -Yeah.
-They know that we're the power three right now. -Yup.
CARSON: So hearing from Carolyn
that my name is out there
is scary, but I know that Lauren
and Jaime are just trying to split
the Tika Three up, and I'm like,
"It's very obvious what you're doing."
So, it really comes down
to next vote. I... I...
CARSON: Luckily, right now,
Tikas remain strong,
and somehow, we were able to masterfully
get to this point where we are finally in the majority.
And so, now, we can run this game.
Yes.
Right.
-Yes. -And her crazy thing?
It is crazy, and I'm crazy, too.
-We're all a little crazy. -Mm-hmm.
-But it works for her. -Yes.
I am very surprised that Yam Yam wants
to vote Carolyn out because
I'm looking at Carson as my number one threat right now.
However, I am going with the flow.
He wants to get Carolyn out
and paint the picture of the target on her back?
Absolutely, yes, let's do it.
As long as a Tika member goes home.
So you want to get Carolyn, then?
That works for me.
-Mm-hmm. -So the same plan as this morning, then?
I knew you guys were in 'cause I know
when you guys are lying to me.
Yeah.
And you know what? I don't think...
-I haven't lied to you this whole time. -Mm-hmm.
I really haven't. I never wrote your name down, either.
I talked to Jaime about
how big of a target Carolyn is.
She definitely agrees with me.
So it might be time that the Tika Three break up.
It's very hard, but
I need to disconnect from them.

When I got here
to Fiji, I was just excited to play,
to live my dream.

Can he do it again? No. Carson is out.
We're down to three, just like that.
Wow. Fatigue of 23 days is showing.
We're down to Lauren,
Heidi and Yam Yam.
Lauren, another little adjustment.

Sometimes, you need a light touch,
sometimes, more firm.
Yam Yam has no touch at all.

So, heading back to camp, I am thinking
about what my next move is so I can make it to the final three.
(hammering)
YAM YAM: We have this long afternoon of deciding
what we're gonna do tonight at Tribal,
but in my mind, Carolyn is the biggest threat.
I just have to cement that plan.
But nobody's talking. Everybody's sitting down
at camp, and nobody's moving.
Nobody wants to stand up
and go to the water well, nobody wants
to go to the beach to wash up.
Do you forget we have Tribal Council?
HEIDI: I'm gonna wash off soon. I feel disgusting.
YAM YAM: We need to talk, we need to talk about who's
gonna leave tonight.
Every...
I agree. Like, what the hell?
Mm-hmm.
And I believe... I-I mean, that.
HEIDI: If I go strong with the Tika members--
Yam Yam, Carolyn,
Carson and I-- so four votes against Jaime--
I could possibly save my idol.
But everyone has lied
in this game to me in some capacity.
So, do I trust what I've been told or do I trust nobody
and just use my idol to save myself tonight?
Hell yeah. We have to.
Yeah, so, wait. Okay...
I just told her. I said,
"What do you, like, do you want to do Jaime?"
So, what's your best, like, plan?
Or, like, what do you think?
HEIDI: Well, those girls have written my name,
so I will be very happy to write Jaime's name.
Okay, so all four of us on Jaime.
Everyone cool with that?
-YAM YAM: Yes. -CARSON: Okay.
-Lock it down. Okay. -HEIDI: Yeah.
We're not worried about an idol?
Jaime doesn't have anything.
CAROLYN: I can't trust Jaime and Lauren.
We need one of them gone.
Lauren won immunity. So tonight, we're voting
for Jaime.
-This is real. -For real.
CAROLYN: I don't think Jaime has an idol,
but if she does have an idol,
I do think she's comfortable enough right now
where she wouldn't play it.
JAIME: Is everyone in agreement that Carolyn
is the absolute threat right now?
I mean, my worry with her is that I don't trust
that Carolyn's gonna bring me to the end.
So I would vote Carolyn.
Let's see what Yam Yam says right now.
-But that-that's my gut, too. -Yeah.
JAIME: I don't have an idol anymore, so
it is nerve-racking depending on
Yam Yam and Carson
to be okay with turning against Carolyn.
Carolyn is more dangerous than Carson.
Yeah.
I'm down.
Right.
She's coming.
Uh-huh.
To Carolyn, this vote will feel like a betrayal.
She's done it to me before, I've done it to her,
but we've never done it against each other.
-LAUREN: You okay? -What happened?
People are obviously talking.
I don't know what you guys are saying.
We all doing Heidi?
-Right. -Yeah.
YAM YAM: This is the most difficult vote for me tonight,
not only because I'm drawing my path to the end,
but also because I might have to betray my biggest ally.
You were, like, honestly saying, like,
Carolyn, me and you at the end?
-I really was. -Okay.
I mean, I-I could...
if you want to do something different, I'm... I've...
-You've always been my number-number one, you know? -Yeah. Same here.
CARSON: So, do you really want to get Carolyn out?
I think Carolyn can win.
Okay.
And you don't think we can get her out at five? Okay.
I don't think we can take her out at five,
and I think she'll win the fire-making.
She practiced fire until she was bleeding.
Think about it.
CARSON: Yam Yam wants to take out Carolyn.
I'm so surprised.
Are we going to target Carolyn?
I mean, Carolyn has played a great game.
I've consistently underestimated her,
and I think everyone else has underestimated her, too.
Carolyn could win this game.
You have to trust your gut.
I don't know what your gut is telling you.
My gut...
tells me Jaime,
but I want to do this together.
Okay.
But at the same time, Carolyn's a loyal player,
and I like loyalty, especially if it's to me.
We've been together this whole game,
and so it's a difficult decision.
Who do I take out at this point?
I'm not sure. It could be Jaime or it could be Carolyn.
It's so difficult to navigate this end portion of the game.
HEIDI: Could you take a look and tell me if you think it's done?
-Yeah. -HEIDI: Perfect.
♪ ♪
YAM YAM: It's exciting to play this game.
It's exciting to live my dream.
But right now, living my dream means...
...cutting the dream of someone I love.
I got a lot of love for Carolyn,
the way we connected at Tika the first few days.
I have a big conflict in my head
of getting rid of Carolyn or Jaime.
The number one reason to get rid of Jaime
is that throughout this game, Jaime has cemented
a lot of relationships and she's a big threat.
So it might be better just to get rid of Jaime tonight.
But I know I have a better chance
without Carolyn at the final three.
I think out of everybody here,
the best game is being played by Carolyn.
My brain is telling me I need to take Carolyn out.
My heart doesn't want me to do it.
So the question for me tonight is
do I have the courage to take Carolyn out?
Am I gonna be able... strong enough to do this?
I don't know. I don't know.
I want this money and I want this title, but it's hard.
It breaks my heart a little bit.
(breathes sharply)
It's so stupid because it's a game,
but it's not a game, you know?

PROBST: All right, well, let's start
with what I'm pretty sure is a first.
-It looks like you brought everything from camp. -(laughs)
Yes. Jeff, we have our rice bag.
-(laughing) -Machete, hammer, rope.
You brought the paintbrushes.
LAUREN: We got the paint.
We don't know what to expect, you know,
whether we're going back to our camp
or whether we're going somewhere different.
So we just wanted to be prepared.
JAIME: We're ready.
If we want to see the rice tomorrow,
Lauren has to bring it
because she's the only person that's gonna be here for sure.
And then I said, like, maybe I should keep the rice
-as a hidden immunity idol. -(laughing)
They won't vote me out if I have the rice with me.
But she has it.
PROBST: So, Carson, as Yam Yam said,
Lauren will be the only person
that we know will be here tomorrow.
I say it over and over,
one immunity win, on the right day,
can change the entire game.
Yeah. Especially when there's only six people left,
and there's idols potentially at play.
Who knows what could happen?
So it's amazing to have an immunity necklace
around your neck, but that is not the case for me tonight.
PROBST: Jaime, Shot in the Dark is over.
Can't use that anymore,
but could be advantages or idols in the game.
How much time is spent discussing that?
JAIME: A big portion.
We've anticipated advantages and prepared for that.
And that's all at play in tonight's vote.
Jeff, there's not a conversation that you don't talk about
the possibility of an idol being played.
It's impossible not to think of that, and it's very scary
that one person can decide what happens,
and the vote of five more people don't matter.
PROBST: So, Jaime, give me the scales
from excitement to terrified.
You know, I think the scales
went up and down today with everyone,
because all of our names were out there today.
But we hear the quote,
"Be the change you want to see in the world."
Tonight, we can make the moves we want to see in the game.
It's about jazzing up our résumés,
so got to do it.
PROBST: Yam Yam, is it every player for themselves now,
or are there still groups that are trying to work together?
YAM YAM: It might appear that there's groups,
but that doesn't mean anything,
because you have to be inside each head
to know what they're thinking
-the final Tribal Council is gonna look like. -CAROLYN: Yeah.
I don't have that superpower.
That's a superpower I would like to have.
It would be amazing if I could read minds.
I can't, you know?
I don't know what you're thinking right now.
(laughing)
How about you, Carson?
CARSON: I feel like, at this point,
we are, in some ways, working together
and then sometimes it is a little bit more jumbled.
Sometimes you're working with a group,
and then the day of Tribal,
they break up, and that could be the case tonight.
Yam Yam, big words, "break up."
It's a huge word.
And especially at this point
that we're gonna be coming down to five.
It's a concept we have to grasp and think about.
It's really emotional
'cause we're not talking about a stranger right now.
It's 23 days living together
that it's hard
to say, "I know that's the right decision.
Here. Maybe not here."
If I was on the other side of the TV on my couch,
I would be screaming at me and say,
"That's what you have to do!"
But I'm here. I'm not at the other side of the couch.
The reality is, it's one of them or me.
And it can't be me, you know, or Lauren.
(laughing)
PROBST: Carolyn, how about for you? How much of this is emotional
and how much of it is pure strategy?
Here's how I think.
I think that there's nothing wrong
with being an emotional player.
And I think that everybody here
can attest to the fact that I have
been extremely emotional.
But it doesn't mean that somebody can't be
strategic who's emotional. I am both.
But I have promised myself-- I've promised my son--
that I'm not gonna apologize for crying.
And when certain people in this game lie to you,
it's a big blow. It hurts.
So I'm not gonna ever deny that.
It doesn't mean I can't play this game.
Well said.
So tonight's vote, it sounds like, will be emotional.
(sighs)
I'm scared. Is this, like, my goodbye speech or something?
I can ask it to somebody else.
Oh, no, no! I got-got nervous for a minute.
Um, but yes,
there's not many people left.
But this intimate group and intimate setting,
we are all loving on each other, and it's real.
So it's absolutely emotional.
PROBST How about you, Yam Yam?
How good do you feel about the vote tonight?

taken to a new beach, where you will start over.

Nice job. Grab your torches, head out.
