Welcome to Survivor 46.
(whooping, cheering)
(Soda screams)
PROBST: Previously on Survivor...
CHARLIE: I've only had women bosses.
I don't mind working with women at all.
I'm sorry I was deceptive.
-I was scared. -That's okay.
MARIA: Jelinsky totally quit, and so now
I will get an extra vote.
♪ And my soul is gonna need... ♪
TEVIN: As an actor, I'm very extroverted
and very good at working with people.
(laughing)
I knew Venus was going to be
the number one threat.
She's dangerous.
KENZIE: Tiff-- that is my girl.
And Q. The three of us working together--
wonderful, perfect. Numbers.
I knew I had to boogie.
(gasps) Yes.
I had to work for this.
It's a real true idol.
Yes!
Survivor bucket list item achieved.
Jelinsky's name will be
written down from me tonight.
BHANU: Jeff, this kid
is really awesome, but is it too little, too late?
PROBST: So you're feeling
in your heart that it's Jelinsky tonight?
It's time to vote?
♪ ♪
First person voted out of Survivor 46:
Jelinsky. That's three, that's enough.
The tribe has spoken.
(birdsong)
♪ ♪
(chanting in foreign language)
BHANU: The first Tribal Council
gives you a perspective, like, you know, who is on your side.
We all came to an agreement, and we voted to eliminate
Jelinsky out of the picture.
Even though
we all voted the same way,
I'm getting nervous,
I'm getting paranoid.
(chanting continuing)
And I feel like most of my tribe members--
they are super strategic,
and I have to be very careful with them.
I know I have it in me. I can do this.
So, moving forward, how can I ensure
that, you know, my position's strong in the tribe?
Kenz, I need to ask you something.
I-I can't stop thinking about the game.
KENZIE: Really?
How... What can I do to...
How-how can I work this?
Save myself to get to the merge?
-How do I say it? -We have to win.
And I'm not confident, man.
KENZIE: I love Bhanu. I have
a sweet spot in my soul for him.
But Bhanu at Tribal-- he's not a good liar.
He almost, like, blew it.
Aah!
KENZIE: He shoots from the hip and he's very passionate.
So, I can see it being a liability down the line
that he can't keep
what needs to be kept secret secret.
We can win a few.
Then Jess goes.
-Then the four of us go to the merge. -Hmm.
KENZIE: One of Jess and Bhanu should be the one to go next.
So,
I'm trying to placate him and keep it positive.
-We need to win. -We need to win.
Yeah.
Yeah. Despite the fact that, you know, Kenzie is cool
-and-and whatever, -I know. Well, I know that...
-we can't let that be a thing. -Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
-(laughing) -TIFFANY: Kenzie has a very
vibrant personality.
She's good at making friends, she's good at, like,
you know, just drawing people in.
So,
it makes me a little nervous.
She knows her best bet is to lock in with me and you.
I just need to figure out, like, how locked in with me she is.
I don't know why I get a weird vibe
and feeling and, you know...
Good smell. (blowing)
-TIFFANY: I smell it. KENZIE: Fire?
You smell that smoke?
It's getting hot...
but it's nowhere there.
Geez. This is a lot harder than I thought it would be.
TIFFANY: We're kind of struggling right now.
We're sleeping in the cold
every night, no fire.
We waking up damp, wet.
Aah!
TIFFANY: And no matter
how much blind optimism people have,
at the end of the day, we are losers.
Oh, my God.
Ooh! It's hard when you have, like, nothing in your body.
I can really tell people are starting
to feel defeated
and people are starting to, like,
lose their spirit a little bit.
It's just tough. It's just hard.
I mean, there's just a lot going on. Like,
I haven't slept, I haven't really eaten.
It's just so overwhelming
because it seems like everything is just gonna be easy
and perfect and you're just gonna, like,
get it done.
And then you get here and you're faced
with the reality that, like,
being so tired and depleted.
And I'm tough.
Like, I'm a tough cookie, and this is hard.
I know I have what it takes to win, but
I think I needed to take a second
and get my head back in the game.
I still have to play.
At the end of the day, you can have human moments,
but it's still all a part of the game.
We're only four days in. I've got...
I've got 22 left, so I've got to get it together.
Do my eyes look really blue?
Good. (laughs)
They always look really blue after I cry.
The shining light.
If you're gonna cry, at least my eyes look good.
♪ ♪
(rhythmic chopping)
...blindfolded.
-For a screw. -TEVIN: For one screw
at the bottom of the ocean.
We have covered it with 2,000 nails.
-Right. (laughs) -You got to...
You got to feel for the...
First tribe to get the screw wins...
Air. (laughs)
(sighs)
TEVIN: Right now, I'm feeling blessed to be here.
My tribe
did the damn thing in the first immunity challenge.
And we won by a lot.
The first tribe to win, we don't tear down your shelter.
Right.
Right now, I'm closest to Hunter and Soda,
but I'm playing a very social game, and I feel like
I'm attached to everybody.
The only person that I don't get a good vibe from is Venus.
TEVIN: She's a player.
SODA: No.
I do think that she is...
she is as-as big as a threat as people think.
I was, like, day one
with Venus. Like, we connected on a heart level.
But very quickly, I learned people don't trust her.
And if she's being perceived a certain way, and
it's lighting off alarms in more than one person,
I have to distance myself from her, even if it's hard.
If no one trusts her as a number,
she's not a number to me, either.
-Today, probably not, but... -Not at all today?
I mean, maybe later, later,
but I'm really trying to grab all my energy
-and, like, sit and stuff. -Yeah.
When it comes to Soda,
I had an immediate connection with her.
But right now, she has her game face on, and
I know what's going on.
Soda's not dumb, you know?
Soda's with the numbers.
Tevin-- right now, he's king. He's at the top.
Tevin has a deep, personal connection
with literally everyone but me.
So,
if the most social butterfly is not trying to, like,
talk to me in any way, then I'm screwed.
This is amazing. Thank you. Um...
Next thing I want to do is go get some vines 'cause
I want to put our clothing line up,
and then I want to build the thing for this
and work on the fireplace, as well.
HUNTER: Okay. What we need to do is just...
VENUS: Right now, I'm stressed because it feels like
I'm not even being heard.
It's, like, everyone has, like,
some kind of connection with one another, but I feel like
I don't really have a deep emotional bond with anyone,
and it feels like... I'm not even, like, worth...
like, I'm not even worth talking to.
I feel like people might look at me, and they assume
things have been handed to me, or that I haven't worked hard
or struggled in any way.
But the truth is that my parents immigrated from Iran to Canada.
They realized that
as the government was becoming more and more oppressive,
that this was no place to raise a young woman.
And from childhood, I've tried to show
just how capable and strong Persian women are.
So, my whole life, it's, like, I don't want to be seen as weak.
Like, I need to be this, like, tough badass.
Like, I can't let people see me struggle.
And so, in this game,
I'm going in with that same mentality,
and it's kind of biting me in the ass because
people want to see that vulnerability.
They want to be able to connect with you emotionally,
and I'm struggling to do that right now.
It hurts on a social and, like, personal level
to see that no one's even trying to make an effort
to acknowledge your existence.
And I don't know what to do.
Makes you feel like
there's something wrong with you.
And, like, I can't be anyone but myself.
BEN: All right, guys.
Can't start a fire without a spark.
Being the first to light fire is totally on the bucket list.
-MORIAH: You're gonna do it. -MARIA: There we go.
There we go. We got it. We got it. We got it. We got it.
(cheering)
We lit fire, baby!
Oh, yeah!
BEN: So I'm just sitting there with the flint,
going hard at it, and I got it, and I lit fire.
And I felt higher than rocking a sick show.
You did it, Ben. My man!
BEN: I'm crying thinking about fire. Like,
I didn't even cry over meeting Nicolas Cage.
-High five, buddy. You did it. -Bring it in, dude. -Dude.
BEN: I was always the kid with so much energy.
Teachers couldn't handle me.
You know, I haven't been the sharpest tool
in the shred my whole life, you know?
I had a stutter and I had a lisp.
So, like, I was bullied.
But I remember my dad had a guitar in his closet.
I found it. The power of rock--
the thing that helped me overcome my insecurities.
I've played shows all over the world.
I played big festivals,
and I did so many things
that, like, I think I blew my own mind.
-Good job, Ben. -Thanks, dudes.
-Dude, you crushed. -You kept at it.
BEN: But in my head, I feel like I am, like,
still a little, insecure kid.
Who I am has always been in me, but I haven't trusted it.
I don't know why I'm crying. I'm just, like, so hyped.
(laughing)
BEN: For me, it was so important to get fire because
it was so out of my element and comfort zone.
Makes you feel like you could do anything.
-MARIA: Ben, you know who's proud of you? -Who?
MARIA: Everybody.
(all cheering)
TIM: As a tribe,
we're communicating in a healthy way.
I think it wouldn't hurt to throw in
just a few pieces of husk.
TIM: Even individually, I'm in a good place.
I got Charlie and Ben.
MORIAH: Here. I'm gonna...
MARIA: Go over there to get the water?
TIM: We know that Maria has
a benefit right now.
TIM: Maria went on a journey and she has an extra vote and
it's a big deal.
We know that Maria has the extra vote.
BEN: I think somebody's gonna have to approach Maria.
I feel like Tim's got a good connection going with her.
TIM: The goal we all should have in common is Maria.
Yeah.
CHARLIE: So if we could pull her in, then
-we've got four. -BEN: Yeah.
And, like, she might have an extra vote, too, so...
The way that it's going is
Tim and Ben...
and then me,
and they want to work with Maria.
-Just maybe for, like, a minute, you know... -Yeah.
CHARLIE: And then you have the three women and myself--
"Charlie's Angels."
MORIAH: I do want to say, like, I think
it's really important to, like, solidify
-and talk about this now. -Yeah. -Yeah. Yeah.
Everyone's trying to count to four.
The Angels and Charlie--
that's four.
But that leaves me on the bottom.
If we lose three times, it's just the Angels.
And so, I feel a little bit, you know,
dancing without a partner out here, you know?
It's just me on the dance floor, and I want to-I want
to waltz with someone. I want to tango with someone.
You know, that's what I want to do out here.
I want to have a ride-or-die.
And it seems like
Maria and I have built bonds with both sides.
So,
if there's someone out here that I feel like
would be a good alliance partner for me, it would be Maria.
CHARLIE: So it's, like...
The ladies and me, which I friggin' love.
-Yeah, I love that, too. -I love it.
But the thing is is, like, we need strength, obviously.
-Like, we need some strong... -People?
Maria and I might be the two best buds, you know,
that pair that can decide the direction of the tribe.
In any alliance, there has to be sub-alliances.
-Right? -Yeah, and, uh...
Which is dirty to think about, but, like, there has to be.
But it's-it's... it's just a fact of the game.
And, like, my favorite players are Malcolm and Denise.
-Yeah. Malcolm and Denise. -Like, I'm a...
-I'm like a ride-or-die player. -You like...
Denise is one of my favorites.
And it's gonna be us two. Cool?
I...
We're gonna do this.
I feel like I could emulate her
because she's kind of, like, that strong... that strong mom.
Yeah. You're a stronger mom. I can tell.
MARIA: I like the idea of working with Charlie.
You know, this reminds me a lot like Malcolm and Denise.
-And if we just keep our options open, -Yeah.
-like, we don't have to make any decisions right now. -Yeah.
At this point, we could go either way
with Moriah and Jem or with Ben and Tim.
So it kind of was exciting for me
to think that, well, maybe the two of us could be
the decision-makers working together.
Yeah. Yeah.
Right. Yup.
VENUS: I'm not blind.
I see that I'm on the bottom,
and it all comes back to Tevin.
It doesn't matter how hard I try.
He has too many links with too many people,
and there's nothing I can possibly do
to compete with those.
So I want to double down on finding that idol
in order to actually ensure some kind of backup safety for myself
and turn the tides to throw the votes on someone else.
So, I need to find this idol and I need to find it quick.
My feeling is that
I'm up on the chopping block or Venus.
So if I can get an idol, that will save me, that would be big.
HUNTER: I guess it's something about being Southern
or something about just wanting to collect firewood,
but I've played it really well because they all think I'm just,
you know, the happy-go-lucky country guy
who's just having a good time out here camping.
But the reality is I'm here to play hard.
I'm the only one going out
and getting a substantial amount of firewood,
so why not just look around?
I know the trails, I know interesting-looking trees,
and so, I'm pretty confident that I'm gonna find this thing.
Ooh.
Ooh! Snap.
What is this? Oh. A Beware Advantage?
So I see a parchment paper
sticking out of a tree, and
I pull it out and it says "Beware."
I didn't come to Survivor to...
not take risks,
so we're gonna open it and see what it says.
Well, Beware Advantage is here. Dig down.
Oh, my God.
So, I open up the Beware Advantage
and it tells me to dig right beneath where this note is.
And I'm digging, digging, digging, digging.
And I hit a box.
Oh, my God. What is this?
I'm super excited and I go to open it up
and there's a lock on it.
I was like, "Oh, why is there a lock?"
Then I realized that the box has, like, a little tube,
and then there's a note in there.
Oh, my God. It's complicated.
That's why it's...
This Beware Advantage is very different from anything
I've seen because the stipulation
on the Beware Advantage is you have to lose
to retrieve further instructions.
So,
if we continue to win, I'm still safe.
If we do lose, then I am gonna go into scramble mode because
if I don't find it before Tribal Council, I'm useless.
I don't have no vote.
It's nerve-racking because you see this Ferrari
in your driveway, but you have no gas, you have no key.
I basically have
a useless car that you can't drive.
An idol is, like, everything to me, but I have to work for it.
Survivor, man.
You ain't make it easy for a brother.
♪ ♪
Q: Right.
-TIFFANY: So why you doing it? -Q: For the protein.
TIFFANY: Girl, the amount of protein
you getting from them little ants...
JESS: Yeah.
TIFFANY: Jess is a little weird,
a little quirky and out there,
but she's such a nice person.
I think she's just a little socially awkward.
-(laughs) -JESS: In my tribe,
I'm going up against some very strong personalities, and
I thought that I would be this kind of social butterfly.
But I don't know--
maybe I've been a little bit more reserved
than my normal self.
That's why I eat the ants--
so I don't have to talk.
BHANU: So,
-you're recently married? -JESS: Yeah.
We'd been together for seven years or something
when we got married.
BHANU: Did you meet him in Canada?
No, I met him outside a bar in Hong Kong.
He's from St. Louis.
BHANU: This is... this crazy, your story.
TIFFANY: That's what I said.
BHANU: Um, I can't put all these puzzle pieces together.
I'm a puzzle. No, I'm not.
I feel like people don't really know
what I'm like inside, but I've come to realize
that it doesn't really matter what they think.
I have a family that loves me, a husband that loves me,
and that's what's important.
But right now, my strategy is not to be the person
on the outs, so,
I'm making more of an effort to get them to know me.
-How do you say "hello"? -JESS: Something...
-Ni hao. -Q: Ni hao. -TIFFANY: Ni hao.
-BHANU: How about "thank you"? -Xiexie.
-What is, "xiexie ni"? -"Ni" is "you."
-So it's like, "Xiexie..." -Yeah.
-How do you know that? -Rush Hour, baby.
-JESS: Oh, my God. Oh, my God. -Oh, my God.
Q: It's a movie with Jackie Chan in it.
KENZIE: The situation as it stands right now is
that Q, Tiff and I--
we have the numbers right now. We have three.
-Do you want me to come with you? -BHANU: Yeah.
Let's go.
KENZIE: But here's the thing.
Q and Tiff both are strong players.
-JESS: You went inside the cave? -KENZIE: Yeah.
I'll show you the way.
And part of my job as a stylist is building connections.
So, the best thing for my game is being friends with everyone
and keeping my options open because, eventually,
big moves have to be made.
-BHANU: Wow. KENZIE: Like, isn't this amazing?
BHANU: This is-this is gorgeous.
How I wish this was, uh, the last day.
KENZIE: Yeah.
-I mean, we can pull off anything. -JESS: Yeah.
KENZIE: I mean, we have to kind of see how the challenge goes.
-JESS: Yeah. -Like, I want to win.
But I also want to, like, not discount any options.
And then just, like, scrap our way through?
It's either them or us, you know?
I kind of tossed some bait
out there to see if I could work with Jess and Bhanu
on a possible blindside, and
I didn't really get much.
What do you think?
-I need to think more about what I think. -Okay.
I don't think Jess or Bhanu are very strategic players
and I don't want to have to hold people's
hands through this game.
You can't go to Tiff and Q and talk about this conversation.
-JESS: Yeah. Yeah. -KENZIE: They will freak out.
-I'm not gonna say that. -Okay, good.
JESS: That was actually the first time that I talked
strategy with Kenzie in a meaningful way.
And she's playing really, really hard.
KENZIE: Every... We're all stirring the pot.
We're all stirring the same pot.
JESS: I honestly can't tell if she's for real
because she can look at you and make you feel
like you're her best friend, so,
Kenzie is playing a great social game, and that's dangerous.
So at this point,
my plan is to blindside Kenzie.
Q: Jess threw Kenzie under the bus by saying,
"Kenzie threw out 'we should get rid of strength.'"
If Kenzie's supposed to be
in my alliance of three,
she shouldn't have said that.
It'll all work out. Trust me.
Right now, I think Jess is trying
to come up with a solution
to get the target off her back.
She felt some heat last night at Tribal.
-If we vote together, we both will be here. -Yeah.
Q: But now I'm thinking, can I trust Kenzie?
JEM: Ooh, it's piping hot.
We got the... the saltwater papaya coming.
Oh, hell, yeah.
Oh, wow. Really?
Tim's the papaya papa.
I'll take that nickname-- Papaya Papa.
All right, so, Charlie's Tarzan,
Maria's Lieutenant Mom, Mo's Mochete.
-(laughing) -Ooh.
-I'm Benevolence. -Water.
-Jungle Jem! -MARIA: Ah!
Jungle Jem! We got 'em!
(laughing): Yeah.
I knew coming out into this game that strategy-wise,
I'll be good, but a weakness of mine is
the social game.
-MARIA: That's a lot. -JEM: I don't need his validation.
Okay, we're good. Let's pop this in.
But I think it's just so important
to connect with people out here, and
I'm going to have to figure out a way.
So,
I'm a massive Taylor Swift fan,
and I love Star Wars and Harry Potter
and all these nerdy things.
So, anytime I can sort of be spouting all...
any sort of stuff like that and... and just showing people
what I like and who I am, that's what I want to do.
Whoever runs out
-of songs first loses. -MORIAH: From one artist.
CHARLIE: What you got, Ben?
I'd go with, uh...
-I'd go with Metallica. -CHARLIE: Metallica?
Greatest metal band of all time.
Yeah.
CHARLIE: I've been getting
to know Ben really well. He's, like,
a music savant. So I was like,
"I'm gonna put my Taylor Swift knowledge
head-to-head against Ben's Metallica knowledge."
-Metallica versus T. Swift, Charlie versus Ben? -Yeah.
-You ready? -Okay, go.
"All of the Girls You Loved Before."
-"My Apocalypse." -"The Best Day."
-BEN: "Seek & Destroy." -CHARLIE: "You Belong with Me."
-"Jump in the Fire. -"Should've Said No."
"Motorbreath."
"Mr. Perfectly Fine" about Joe Jonas.
-Ooh. -They're cool now, though.
-(laughing) -BEN: What a stupid way to pass time.
And if I had done that in any other setting,
everybody around me
would be like, "Ben, shut up."
But here, everybody was like, "Yo, they're going for it."
-"Dyers Eve." -"Gorgeous."
-"Enter Sandman." -(laughing)
-"Delicate." -"Sad But True."
"This is Why We Can't Have Nice Things."
-"Holier Than Thou." -(laughing)
-"I Did Something Bad." -"The Unforgiven."
MORIAH: I'm living in a universe right now
where I am wildly entertained
by just two guys just saying names back and forth.
-"The Struggle Within." -"Clean."
-"Ain't My Bitch." -(laughing)
-Facts: It's a Metallica song. -CHARLIE: I ain't your bitch.
It's a grueling battle,
back and forth, one after another.
BEN: All right, onto the next album.
"Some Kind of Monster."
"We are Never Ever Getting Back Together."
Like, ever.
-"The House That Jack Built." -"All Too Well."
-"Until It Sleeps." -"All Too Well," ten-minute version.
Ooh.
Okay, well, we have that on this album. Don't worry.
(laughing)
TIM: It's, like, name after name.
And, like, yo, y'all at least named, like,
75 songs each, yo.
So we're getting into the albums I'm not very into,
-but I still got 'em in my mind. -CHARLIE: Ooh, yeah, let's go.
-Come on! -BEN: I've still got 'em.
JEM: I've never listened
to a single song of Metallica's.
Wait. There's the Metallica album with Lou Reed,
which is really terrible.
JEM: At some point, I'm like,
"Are we done? Like, is this it?"
BEN: I'm just thinking on this album. I got more.
Okay, here we go. "Creeping Death."
A song about Passover.
Uh, "Coney Island."
"2 X 4"
"You're Not Sorry."
Damn. All right.
How many more you got?
A lot.
BEN: Man, if I only knew the really bad albums a little more.
(laughing)
I don't believe in any bad Taylor Swift albums.
BEN: Listen, there's a bit of an unfair advantage, because
although I love Metallica,
I'm not a stan for terrible albums.
Dude, I think I got to tap out.
It's not right.
Well, Ben, this has been the great war.
-TIM: Great job. -Which is... which is...
We can... We'll go round two with another band.
-Which is another Taylor Swift song. -Oh. Dead.
CHARLIE: I was pretty impressed with both of us
just being able to recall so many songs,
and it was just fun.
It was pure, pure fun.
And doing things like that,
I think it just endears you to people.
We easily named a hundred songs.
Yeah, we... we went hard.
Yeah.
Charlie is an adorable goofball,
and I love him for it.
I am having the most fun
out here, you know. It's, like,
I would say, even if I ever did Survivor again,
I don't think the experience would be this dope,
'cause it's these people
that are making it so enjoyable for me.
♪ ♪
So, I don't know if you said, Liz, but did you ever say
that you would, like, remarry?
Maybe. I cannot imagine
the person that would marry Liz.
-Oh. -I don't mean this
any type of way, but there is a special type
of... man who can deal with someone
making so much money and not actually needing them.
Wow.
LIZ: I own my own company. I'm an online entrepreneur, and
I've pushed myself so hard because I came from nothing.
And honestly,
I came into this game
wanting the title.
I don't need the money.
The money would better my life,
but it wouldn't change my life.
And so, winning this game is going to show my daughter and
my family that, "Wow, Liz really can do anything. Maybe
I can do something similar one day."
That's the most important thing.
TEVIN: I think that there's plenty of men out there
who would want to be with Liz.
-That's for your... your first comment. -SODA: Agreed.
TEVIN: So, whether you're looking at a range of men now...
-Well, they want to, but can they? -TEVIN: Ooh.
Everybody wants to be with Liz. Trust me.
TEVIN: Oh. You trust lady luck.
RANDEN: I just don't understand
what kind of game Liz is playing.
Nobody knows who Liz is. Liz wears rainbows.
She's a CEO of five companies.
She teaches everybody how to make a million dollars.
So, it's-it's crazy.
Have you had any conversations with her? Like, real ones?
Yeah, a little bit. Well, the problem with Liz is that
she's like a... It's like talking to a billboard.
You know what I mean? It's kind of like, you know,
-she's telling you... -She's got a phrase for everything?
Yeah. "I'm like a CEO, I'm a company." And she's like,
"Well, I'm too good to do this." And whatever.
At this point, I have to make a decision.
I have this amazing Beware Advantage.
I'm very excited
because if I complete the Beware Advantage,
I have an idol in my pocket.
The problem is, for me
to stay in the game longer and make big moves,
I just feel as if, like, I need one person to trust
on this island,
and that's the biggest issue I have in my tribe.
I don't really trust anybody.
-Good talking. -RANDEN: Soda and Hunter
are close to Tevin.
-I just chugged this. Like... -You need them electrolytes.
It was full.
RANDEN: And then Liz--
there's too many inconsistencies.
Like, I do a lot of podcast interviews.
I've done, like, 300 in the last
-Yeah? -two years or something.
RANDEN: I don't know.
Something's not up with that story.
But that's just me.
It could be Survivor kind of paranoia.
Venus, I think, in my opinion,
she's the ultimate liar in this game.
-If I go off, and you see me, like, -Yeah.
-by the water, I'm just, like... -Chilling.
-I'm just chilling. Like, -Yeah, yeah, yeah.
I'm not, like, looking around.
RANDEN: So, I don't have many options.
But at the end of the day, I made a decision
and I said, "I'm going to trust the one person
"I originally thought not to trust,
and if it fails, then that's on me."
-Okay. -RANDEN: weirdly enough,
the person I shouldn't be comfortable with--
I'm actually comfortable with Venus.
I shouldn't be, though. She's young,
she's ambitious, and I just feel like she will cut my throat.
But I came to Survivor to gamble and risk.
So... I did it. I told her.
VENUS: So, Randen tells me that he finds himself
a Beware Advantage.
And the moment I heard it, I became, like, a statue.
I couldn't process what he was saying
'cause I was equal parts excited,
equal parts pissed that it didn't happen to me.
My whole thing is, like, I want to use your gifts
and my gifts to get further in the game.
You know what I mean?
Like, "I'm like, damn, like, there really is...
I can't catch a damn break."
And you're my break. God bless you.
I really thought that my life in this game is over.
And within the span of just one day,
everything has changed.
All of a sudden, I have
an advantage I could potentially use to my favor,
a rock solid-alliance.
So, it does a lot to... breathe some life in my game.
You know? I'm-I'm feeling pumped.

Come on in!
-Good morning, Siga. -Good morning, Jeff.
-(chuckles) -Hi.
PROBST: Good morning, Nami.
Good morning.
♪ ♪
Siga and Nami, getting your first look
at the new Yanu tribe.
Jelinsky voted out
-at the first Tribal Council. -Ooh.
-RANDEN: Wow. -PROBST: Wow.
Massive reactions.
-Wow. -Whoa.
-Wow. -Legendary.
-Last name, first out. -Oh.
-Oh! -Oh! -Oh!
-HUNTER: I said last name, first out. -Oh, my gosh.
I guess, were there several reasons
-you guys voted him, or... -(laughing)
KENZIE: There-there was, uh, more than several.
There was more than seven. We'll say that.
-Wow. -SODA: Oh, my God.
The jokes keep coming, right?
PROBST: So, Q, obviously,
it's not fun for Yanu to go to Tribal and vote somebody out,
but it is a game and you're down somebody.
And clearly, these two other tribes are taking a little joy
in talking and joking about who it was
and why they were voted out.
How does that feel?
Well, right now, Jeff,
in this game, we're the laughingstock,
and their six has been better than our six.
Right now we're down to five
and we'll see if their five is better than ours.
PROBST: Soda, he's slinging it right back at you.
Make fun all you want. Let's go.
I could catch it. It's fine, and I like it.
You're gonna see five and five. Here we go.
(laughing)
He did it first.
BHANU: Jeff, let me tell you one thing.
I'm from India. And we want freedom.
Gandhi was on a hunger strike and he won freedom for India.
Hunger is not
closest to my mind.
What we are hungry for is the challenge
and to win that idol today.
Mm.
-Fire. -PROBST: All right, well,
let's get to today's immunity challenge.
First things first. Got to take back the idols.
Later, Frodo.
-Bye, Frodo. -Bye, Frodo. -Thank you.
Thank you.
All right. This is cute.
Hey, he's part of the Nami tribe now,
so we had to make sure he had his own Buff.
-PROBST: Oh, nice. -Ooh.
Fortunately, I always carry a little knife of my own.
-No! -(all voicing dissent)
Jeff.
-SODA: I told you he wouldn't let that slide. -Yeah.
-That's hard-core. -I've been knew that. I'm not surprised.
You don't own this idol, Nami. You got to win this idol.
-Hey, Jeff. -Ooh.
Scorpio energy right there.
Thank you, Jeff.
Your hat is orange, though, Jeff, so thank you.
(laughing)
Wow.
All right, shall we get to today's challenge?
-Yeah. -Yeah, let's do it.
PROBST: For today's challenge,
one person from each tribe is gonna race
to release a machete,
you're gonna chop a rope and drop two wheels.
You'll put those wheels on your cart.
You'll then dig up two chests,
put the chest on your cart.
You'll then push your cart through the course,
moving obstacles along the way.
When you get to the end, you'll use the pieces inside the chest
to form a massive Survivor arch puzzle.
First two tribes to finish win immunity,
safe from the vote. You're not going home.
In addition, you're playing for reward.
Want to know what you're playing for?
(all voicing assent)
-We ready. -PROBST: First tribe to finish,
this will change everything.
(cheering)
Oh, my God. Hooks.
PROBST: A massive Survivor fishing kit.
MORIAH: Oh, my God.
PROBST: Second tribe to finish--
not as extensive, but it'll get it done.
Mask, snorkel, fins, Hawaiian sling.
Last tribe to finish, otherwise known
as the losers, Tribal Council, where somebody will be
the second person voted out, and as a penalty for losing,
I will take your flint. Yanu, you're still
trying to earn yours for the first time. All right, sit-outs.
Siga, you have one person you're gonna sit out.
Who's it gonna be?
I'll sit out, but I want first go with the fishing gear.
-You got it, Mo. -PROBST: Moriah gonna sit out for Siga.
Nami, one extra person. Who's gonna sit out?
-The one and only Liz. -All right, Liz gonna
sit out for Nami. Sit-outs, take a spot on the bench.
Everybody else, I'll give a minute to strategize.
We'll get it on. Let's do it!
All right, here we go. For immunity
and reward. Survivors ready?
Go! It's gonna be Hunter, Jem and Q on the machete.
You've got to unthread that rope to release your machete,
then chop the ropes to release your wheels.
Hunter has his machete.
He drops his wheels.
-MARIA: Jem! -Make them wheels fall.
PROBST: Jem has hers.
And she drops her wheels.
(whoops) Go, Jem!
-TIFFANY: Come on, Q! -PROBST: Q has his.
And two, three. (groaning)
-He drops his wheels. -Come on, let's go!
(overlapping chatter)
-One, two, three. -One, two, three.
-MORIAH: Let's go! Let's go! -Okay.
MORIAH: Go, Siga! You're running.
Now you got to get the wheels onto your cart.
Make sure you get that cotter pin in so those wheels stay on.
-Go, Jem. -Let's go. Let's go. -One, two, three. Go.
PROBST: It's gonna be Nami, then Siga.
PROBST: Yanu once again in last.
And they're on the move.
Keep going, keep going, keep going!
PROBST: You're good, Siga.
You're good, Nami. Start digging up your chest.
LIZ: Go, Nami!
You're good, Yanu. Start digging.
Got a handle.
PROBST: Everybody on the chest.
You got to get 'em onto your cart
before you can continue.
(grunting)
So you got that?
Once again, it is a challenge
that requires effort and communication.
We got the handle, we got it.
Here they come. We need help with this.
Nami has their first chest.
Dig, dig some more.
PROBST: Yanu working on their first chest.
Get the handle, Bhanu.
PROBST: It is Nami in a familiar spot: the lead.
Yanu has their first chest.
(grunting)
-PROBST: There you go. -(grunting) Right.
Siga now working on their first chest.
-What's your name again? -Mo, I go by. You?
-Mo? I'm Liz. -Yeah. Nice to meet you, Liz.
-Nice to meet you. -Oh, man.
(overlapping chatter)
-These chests are heavy. -MORIAH: Come on, you guys!
PROBST: Now that cart's got a lot of weight.
It's Nami in the lead.
LIZ: Come on, Hunter!
-Tevin! -You're good.
Start clearing out the obstacles.
We keep pushing.
I got it. Come on.
Here comes Yanu working on that second chest.
All right, it's Tiffany, Bhanu and Q.
We got Tim, Jem, Charlie, Ben and Maria.
Everybody for Siga
working together to get that chest on their cart.
Also, I love your glasses, by the way.
-Thank you. I love your socks. -Thank you.
-Come on. Everybody. -Everybody push.
Everybody push.
-There goes Yanu on the move. -Yeah. Push.
(overlapping chatter)
Now Siga picking it up.
It is Nami still in the lead.
Now get the barrel away. Pick it up. Like, move it, move it.
Nami gonna use everybody to clear out
the entire course, do it in one shot.
(overlapping chatter)
You're good. Start clearing your obstacles.
You're good, Siga. Start clearing those obstacles.
You got to get all those obstacles
out of the way so your cart will get through.
-Here comes Nami. -Left, left, left, left,
-left, left, left, left, left. -Watch your hands.
PROBST: They're gonna be first to the finish.
Tight fit. You got to get here.
-RANDEN: Turn. Go. -Turn right here. -Go.
-LIZ: ♪ Nami, Nami... ♪ -PROBST: You're good.
Get your chest, now, in here.
♪ Nami, Nami, Nami... ♪
PROBST: There comes Siga now.
They're heading through the course.
Back up. Go, go, go, go, go, go. You got it.
LIZ: ♪ Nami, Nami, Nami... ♪
TIFFANY: Don't turn yet. Don't turn yet. Now turn.
-PROBST: You're good. -Come on.
Go. Come on, come on.
TIM: Everybody, get ready.
PROBST: You're good.
Get the chest in here.
JESS: Let's go.
(grunting)
PROBST: Nami now can start solving their puzzle.
(overlapping chatter)
Yanu's cart is in the way. Can they get it in?
You're good. Untie.
-Come on, go. All right. -Go.
PROBST: Yanu has their pieces out.
Everybody working on the puzzle now.
Let's pull all the black letters out. Black letters.
PROBST: First, you're trying to figure out what to do with the letters.
MORIAH: Well-oiled victory!
Then you're gonna build an arching puzzle...
CHARLIE: Maybe like that.
...that will be freestanding when you're done.
"Inspire"? No, there's a "C."
PROBST: First, you got to figure out what is the word
you're looking for.
This requires communication and teamwork
and a bit of a vocabulary.
The white letters this way.
PROBST: It will spell the same thing
on both sides-- your side and my side.
It has to be same front and back, you guys.
-So the last letter, the last letter has to be on the back. -Okay.
Nami thinks they know the word.
Nami undefeated this season.
-That's right, yeah. -On this side.
TIM: I got you, Jem.
PROBST: Communication is key.
You've got five people that have to work together.
Siga thinks they have an idea now.
Yanu now looking next door.
This is as much about building the puzzle as solving the word.
-(grunts) -It's gonna fall.
PROBST: Siga starting to see that now,
as those pieces fall on Tim.
Siga loses everything.
Those blocks are very heavy.
That'll break a toe, scrape up a face.
-SODA: Go, go, go, go... -You've got to work together.
Panic does not help.
SODA: My arms are, like, really
-not doing well. -PROBST: You've got to get it to stand on its own.
Once you do, get back to your mat.
Immunity is yours.
Yanu is taking an insane amount of time.
No. All right. Bring that, bring that.
-Stay there, Ben. -I'm here, I'm here.
Last letter.
-Last letter. -Siga drops again.
Opening the door now for Yanu.
TIM: We're right there. We're right there. Hold it.
-That R. That R. -Come on.
Bring me that R. Bring me that R.
Here.
PROBST: That word's got to be right on both sides.
When you have it and it'll stand,
get to your mat for the win.
Yanu now is in on this.
-Tiffany can't hold 'em all. -SODA: Randen, help him.
-I-I got... -You got to...
-I can't. -Come on.
-Oh. -Oh, my God.
PROBST: Nami's dropping blocks.
This is a wide-open challenge right now.
Any tribe could win.
Aah! Aah!
-TIM: Guy, what's up? What's up? -No, come on, come on.
PROBST: Siga one letter away,
but getting that letter in and getting it to hold
is a whole different thing.
BEN: Jeff, come on!
SODA: Tevin, do not give up.
Nami and Siga making a lot of progress.
-Right here, right here. Right there. -CHARLIE: Nice job, Maria.
TIM: Push. We got to push them.
-(grunts) I see it. I see it. -Randen, it's me.
Let go, let go, let go...
PROBST: Nami thinks they have it.
-They're trying to get it built. -Slowly let go.
-Jeff! Jeff!
-Jeff! -Nami thinks they have it, and they don't.
-No! -Ah!
-PROBST: Something is not right. -Oh, it's right here...
-No. -Right here, right here. We got to switch these two.
We have to switch these two?
-Come on. Come on. -There's got to be an N.
Got to push. (grunts)
-... No! -Ben...
Stay there. Stay there. Stay there.
Stay there.
PROBST: Siga starting back now.
Stay there. You got it. You got it.
-All right, guys, almost there. -Aah!
-Oh! -PROBST: Yanu, another disaster.
Blocks everywhere.
-CHARLIE: All right, Ben. -(groaning)
-PROBST: Siga loses half their puzzle. -CHARLIE: It's okay.
(overlapping shouting)
Nami loses everything.
(Tiffany screams)
We are wide-open again.
-(Tiffany screams) -PROBST: Yanu, another disaster.
Blocks everywhere.
-Siga loses half their puzzle. -(distorted screaming)
Nami loses everything.
We are wide-open again.
All three tribes are still in it.
You've got to spell a word correctly on both sides
and get it to hold on its own.
The-the... Wait.
Okay, that letter over there and this.
Someone needs to grab that letter.
Can we hold on for a sec? I got to readjust it real quick.
Wait. Just hold it, hold it, hold it.
Oh, my God!
PROBST: Yanu loses everything again.
These blocks are heavy.
KENZIE: Still not in.
JESS: I'm holding it.
(grunting)
MORIAH: You guys are one block away from victory!
-Yes. Oh! No! -Okay...
And once again, Siga loses half their puzzle.
Tiff, you need to move over.
-You need to move over. That's wrong. -This is wrong.
-Okay. -Just take that one piece.
-I'm gonna grab this, okay? -Okay.
And we're gonna stick this...
-Yeah. -Okay.
(Jess screams)
Give me that. Come on. Girl, you got to move faster.
This is a difficult challenge
that requires communication.
RANDEN: Come.
VENUS: Soda, that is the I.
Put it there.
Bhanu, I got these two. Get the other one.
PROBST: Yanu
-What do we need here? -giving it another go.
Hey!
PROBST: And another piece comes down.
-(Tiffany yells) -Let's go!
Now, that fire in Bhanu's belly is showing itself.
LIZ: Yes. Yes.
Hunter, can you get this or no?
-HUNTER: Is it last piece? -Last piece. You got this.
-Ready? -Go!
I got it. Hang on.
PROBST: Nami back with another shot.
-VENUS: Someone support... -PROBST: Is this it?
-And can they get it together? -LIZ (chanting): Yes, you can.
Yes, you can!
-Yes, you can! -SODA: Yes, we...
No, no, no, go. You go.
And here comes Siga now. They're in it.
(overlapping chatter)
Yanu thinks they're in it.
JESS: No, this is right. This is right.
-(chanting): Yes! Yes! -PROBST: Everybody is in it now.
Nami trying to get it locked in.
-It's so close. -We got it. Come on. Let's go.
PROBST: Is it enough?
-RANDEN: Jeff. Jeff. -HUNTER: Jeff!
-Nami has it! Nami wins immunity. -LIZ: Yeah!
-PROBST: We're looking for one more. -Yeah!
(yelling)
-LIZ: Wow. -PROBST: Nami remains undefeated.
It's gonna be Siga or Yanu.
Keep digging!
Aah! I got it! Come on. Aah!
PROBST: Siga very close.
Yanu very close.
-It would be their first -You got it.
-win of the season. -Is that it?
PROBST: They could send Siga to Tribal Council.
BHANU: I need a hand here. I need a hand here!
Quickly! Quickly!
Bhanu continues to bark out orders.
Coach...
Here. Like this.
-Okay. Yeah. -You hold this with your hands.
-Put your damn hands down. Let's go. Hold this one. -Yeah.
-No, you got that one. Now, right here. -PROBST: Q is now in charge.
Who's going to Tribal Council?
Will it be Yanu or Siga?
We are so close. This is looking sturdy.
Come on. We need someone to get that last piece.
-Hold that... -KENZIE: Oh, my God.
-PROBST: Yanu very close, but Bhanu can't hold the pieces. -I can't reach.
PROBST: Siga very close.
TIM: Y'all got it.
-(grunting) -...
What's gonna have to happen is you got to use both
of your hands. This way and that way, okay?
-Put it back up on 'em. -Hold strong.
-One... (grunts)
(indistinct chatter)
Don't let it fall.
You hold this one.
-(gasps) -Aah!
Yanu loses everything.
The story of the season for Yanu, as all the pieces drop.
Siga thinks they have it.
Let's go!
(cheering)
Siga wins immunity.
-Safe from Tribal Council. -Yes!
PROBST: Sending Yanu back to Tribal,
where the second person will be
voted out of Survivor 46.
Huge effort by everybody.
Yanu, same story--
coming up short.
-TIM: Everybody. It took everybody. -JEM: I'm so proud.
-I'm so... -TIM: It took everybody.
-Everybody. -JEM: Oh, my God.
TIM: It took everybody.
JEM: Guys...
PROBST: Nami, congratulations.
-(cheering) -It's coming back.
Where's that headband?
-Where's that headband, baby? -(chuckles)
PROBST: That headband is toast.
LIZ: Damn!
PROBST: Siga...
Congratulations.
Nami, nobody going home from your tribe.
Head out. Enjoy the night off.
-Thank you. -Thank you, Jeff.
PROBST: Your massive Survivor fishing kit
will be waiting for you back at camp.
SODA: Oh, man. Wow.
PROBST: Siga, nobody going home from your tribe.
Head out. Enjoy the night off.
And your fishing kit will be waiting for you back at camp.
BEN: Oh, my God.
PROBST: Bhanu, I saw some real emotion, maybe frustration
from you during that challenge.
What were you feeling?
(sighs)
(stammers)
We're doing everything right,
but where we're losing, I just don't understand that.
We have the strength.
What we're missing is the...
the planning. I think that's what it is.
The planning is missing,
and we have to put our minds together
and I think we're gonna have a chat today
and that's what we're gonna do tonight.
PROBST: Tiffany, this is what happens.
When you lose once, "Hey, that's all right. We got it."
You lose twice.
But when you just continue to lose...
-Look at your body language. You're frustrated. -I'm pissed.
I'm pissed. No, I'm not frustrated. I'm pissed.
I have a real attitude right now, so I'm gonna keep
my actual thoughts to myself before I say something
that's gonna have people looking at me sideways.
But I do not think we should have lost that challenge.
At all.
PROBST: So, Jess, just listening to Tiffany,
though she didn't say anything directly,
it's gonna be an interesting afternoon back at camp.
She's gonna give me a spanking back at camp.
Oh, you think it's directed at you?
I think so. Everyone's been yelling at me.
All day or during the challenge?
JESS: During the challenge.
Are you feeling that pressure
as you head back to camp now?
I think we're going to have to talk about it at camp.
I'm just going to catch my breath right now.
I am feeling pressure. I think we all are.
PROBST: All right, Yanu, once again, Tribal Council,
where somebody will be the second person
voted out of Survivor 46.
As a penalty for losing-- sorry for you--
I'm gonna keep this flint.
Grab your stuff. Head out.
See you tonight at Tribal Council.
KENZIE: We started strong, and then the puzzle--
it literally fell apart,
like, on top of all of us,
-because Bhanu has a hard time -(distorted): Jess!
when he's faced under pressure.
But Jess dropped a bunch of pieces a hundred times
and couldn't spell the word "persistence."
So I feel like Jess is our common denominator in losing.
I want Jess to go tonight.
There is simply nothing like Survivor.
It will test you on so many levels
and offers you nowhere to hide.
If that sounds like fun, apply to be on Survivor.
NAMI TRIBE: ♪ Nami, Nami ♪
♪ Nami, Nami ♪
-♪ Nami... ♪ -♪ Nami, Nami, Nami... ♪
-Oh, my God. -(excited chatter)
-Oh, my God. -SODA: Holy crap.
TEVIN: This is like Christmas.
-Wow! -TEVIN: Oh, my God.
LIZ: Okay, go!
-Oh! We got the fish! -LIZ: Ah! We did it!
TEVIN: I feel like Rupert.
Oh, this is like a dream come true. (chuckles)
What y'all want to do? Fishing?
-But we can all go out together. -SODA: Okay.
I'm probably gonna rest, 'cause that huge-ass wagon
went over my toe during the challenge.
-Oh... -SODA: Did it really? -VENUS: Yeah.
-Got pretty crushed, so I'm gonna rest. -SODA: Wow.
-LIZ: I think she got crushed. -Yeah.
We won this challenge,
but I got really pissed
afterwards. I actually got
my toe crushed by that huge...
huge-ass wagon because no one was listening to me. I said,
"Turn left, turn left," and they just kept
going straight and ran me over.
What's the point of winning if I'm not even being heard?
-SODA: Was it the moment where you were wedged at the front -Yeah.
-and I tried to push you back? -VENUS: It was the moment
when I was saying, "Left, left," but you kept going straight,
and it went right over my toe.
TEVIN: This journey I'm having with Venus
is really ridiculous, honestly.
It's up and down.
It's up and down, and I'm trying to navigate it, and it...
It's tough. It is very tough.
You guys can have a celebration,
but I'm exhausted right now, so I'll talk later.
TEVIN: She's, like, commenting on the challenge, and we won.
She brings the tribe morale down, and, uh, I'm getting
real tired and real sick of this.
I had a little bit of an issue
with how we worked together as a team today,
and I personally felt like my voice wasn't being heard at all.
Specifically, when we start the challenge,
and we're, like, moving the wagon,
-you guys are pushing. -Mm-hmm.
Immediately, I say, you know, "Turn left, turn left,"
and because there was a lack of listening, a lack of trust,
it ran right over my toe, which could have been avoided.
I'm gonna continuously be in the immunity challenges,
so if you guys want to keep winning,
you have to find a way to, like, work with me.
-"We," right? -VENUS: All of us.
-Sometimes, when you say "you," I don't know... -Did I say "you"? Sorry.
Yeah, sometimes when you say "you," I just
don't know if it means me or if it means everyone.
-No, no, no. I'm talking in general, I'm talking general. -Okay, okay.
Venus, like, I adore you as a human being,
and I want to have this camaraderie,
and we have to have this camaraderie
for challenges.
With that being said,
she plays the victim a bit.
I'm like, "I'm not gonna baby you.
That's a 'you' thing. I can't do that work for you. I'm not you."
-She's a person that takes a long time to process. -Right.
So it's, like, imperative that we don't take anything
-she's doing personally. -Right.
Because she... this is...
I've learned this is just how she is.
She-she could change on a dime based on her emotions.
-It's very clear. -Right.
VENUS: I am a natural introvert, but I don't think
I would have this issue with any other tribe.
It's just that I... we happen to have
two really big personalities here.
I don't really know who she's mad at. I guess everyone.
VENUS: Sodasia--
she has a tendency... (chuckles)
to kind of want to be the star of the show.
Nami, congratulations.
VENUS: And her tendency to grab the immunity idol from me,
every time Jeff hands it to me...
Congratulations. It's coming back.
VENUS: It's kind of, like, really rude and annoying.
The fact that your first reaction is to just
grab it for yourself-- like, it's a bit childish.
You don't want to see a pissed off version of me.
I've been sad the past three days. Now I'm just pissed.
So I'm gonna work twice as hard to work with Randen
to use his Beware Advantage to get to a merge,
and I will flip immediately
against these people.

BHANU: Hey.
Tiff.
No. Come on, dude.
You kicked some butt there.
You kicked butt there!
(sniffles)
TIFFANY: I'm-a take a little walk. I'll be back.
Cool.
(sniffles, sighs)
(groans)
(sniffling)
I'm not crying because we lost.
I mean, I was hurt that we lost, but I was just even more upset
because of the way I lost control.
That's just not the type of player
that I want to be perceived as.
Like, nobody
on the other tribes even knows me yet.
I don't want their perception of me
to be this crazy, angry Black girl
that can't keep her cool during challenges.
(sniffles) And I feel like that's what I looked like today.
But I was so broken.
Because it's like, you're not taking this seriously.
And I can't work with people like that.
I cannot work with people like that.
KENZIE: You want to take a second
-or you want to talk? -We can talk.
-Are you sure? -Yeah, yeah, yeah. I'm good.
-Hey. It was not you. -God, I'm so...
-I'm so angry. -I know.
-It's just... -It wasn't on you.
Hey, bro.
-I know. -There were so many times that I looked up
during the challenge and Jess was literally walking.
-I know. -I'm like, "Bro."
KENZIE: Tiff was down, down and out.
Like, I feel
for her. It's not a good feeling, but I'm like,
"We lost it. Let's move on and talk about Tribal."
-I felt the same thing. -Like, she kept dropping 'em.
Look, we can't think about that.
We only have a few hours until Tribal,
so you and I need to get straight.
Like, what do you want to do?
Do you want to hide an idol, make her think she's safe
so she doesn't play her Shot in the Dark?
-I feel like we don't have a choice at this point. -Okay.
I woke up this morning with an idea
that we could hide a fake idol
and make Jess think she has
a real idol so that she doesn't play
her Shot in the Dark.
I macheted off the beads from Jelinsky's water bottle.
I tell Tiff this idea.
We used the note from Tiffany's idol
and the parchment from Tiffany's Beware Advantage.
All right, this look official to me.
KENZIE: Then Tiff went to hide it.
The traps have been laid out.
They are... The carrot is in the snare.
TIFFANY: She'll think she has an idol,
-so she won't play her Shot in the Dark. -Q: Right.
KENZIE: The only ones in on this plan are me, Q and Tiff.
-Y'all do what y'all have to do. -TIFFANY: All right.
I think it's a foolproof plan.
Like, she's gonna find it.
It's sticking out a little bit. It's perfect.
Honestly, I'm about to start go looking for idols.
Oh, my God.
Do you think you're in trouble?
It's Survivor.
None of us could be too comfortable.
-JESS: Yeah. -I'm scared, too, like...
Guess we should go look for the idol.
TIFFANY: We should. We absolutely should. Come on.
You don't want to look for idols? Girl?
Your name is on the chopping block.
At the very least, you should be like, "Absolutely."
Not "Yeah, I think so."
JESS: Oh, my God. Spider.
-You search those rocks over there? -No.
I led her over to the wall,
and sister's over here looking at trees.
I'm like, "Did you check the wall?
Did you check the rock wall?"
You said you don't think it's in this area?
But we literally looked everywhere else.
You searched real good over there?
It's right there, girl.
Sis can't look for idols to save her life.
I literally planted the idol in the same exact spot
where I found it, and
she walks right on past.
I'm not gonna get this girl to get this idol.
Did you talk to her?
Jess is not gonna find it,
even if we had a blinking neon sign
that was like, "There's an idol right here."
Jess would have just, like, walked right underneath it.
Should we let Q...
(whispering): Jess, Jess, Jess, Jess, Jess.
-Yeah? -(whispers): Come here.
Hurry, hurry.
-Okay. -Listen...
Yes. It's my idol.
-Can we go over here? -Come on, come on, come on.
I show Jess this fake idol, and I tell her,
"You have to write down who I want."
Okay.
When I give you this, just keep looking.
-Keep looking until we have to leave. -I will keep looking.
Q: Because of my relationship with Jess,
and telling Jess that I want us to work together,
but I want no one to know about it,
has allowed me to present this fake idol to Jess
and her think it's real.
-Play it cool at Tribal. -Okay.
I told you, I got your back. Trying to help.
Do not say that I gave you this, we talked.
You go that way. I'm going this way.
We should get rid of Jess for many reasons,
but I am Jess's number one.
All I need to do is tell Jess
to write down Kenzie.
How do you...
Come on, show me.
Q: I am Bhanu's number one.
I have Bhanu's vote. The three of us have enough votes.
We can get Kenzie out this game.
Okay.
Q: I have Jess on one side, who I want going home.
I have Kenzie on the other side, who I want going home.
So I know one of the two that I want to go home...
...will exit tonight.
-(whoops) -(chuckles)
TIFFANY: Man, I just want to eat.
KENZIE: When we get that flint, we're gonna be set.
TIFFANY: Be careful.
Ow.
-You cut yourself? -Yeah.
-Is it bad? -Yeah, it is pretty bad.
-TIFFANY: Oh, my God. -Really, really bad.
TIFFANY: See? I told you to be careful.
KENZIE: We're about to go to Tribal
and our best person with the machete
chops his finger open.
We can't catch a break.
Just the cherry on top.
(laughs) Oh, this sucks.
KENZIE: Jess was never gonna
find the fake idol, so Q
just gave it to her.
-(laughs) -Girl, what are we working to?
This is clown school.
(snorts)
You have to be smart to go to clown school.
This is remedial clown school.
KENZIE: It's pretty glaringly obvious
that Q, Tiff and I are the only people here
who know anything about the game.
And we are working with...
Oh, my God. There's, like, something pointy in my neck.
...some dinguses.
Why can't something go right?
Hopefully, just go right tonight.
I'm voting for Jess tonight.
Not because she's a bad person, it's just,
she's a bad Survivor player. It is what it is.
JESS: My game tonight relies on Q,
but I'm starting to wonder, like, I don't even know
if the idol he gave me is real.
It's got this
thing that looks like every adornment
on every Survivor gear that we have.
Can you look me in the eyes and tell me that the idol is real?
I found the idol on day...
I tell you what. Just give it back.
-(chuckles) -No, no, no, no.
'Cause I'm risking my idol
-for you to stay. -Okay.
For you to question it...
JESS: I don't really have a choice but to play it
and hope that it's real.
I think Kenzie's a huge threat. She's just
gonna sail to the final three if they don't...
if they don't get rid of her.
But I think Tiffany and Q are working together,
so I don't think Q would pull off
a blindside tonight
without Tiff.
Do you think Tiffany would vote Kenzie?
That's a good question.
JESS: So I'm going to put Kenzie's name out there,
which is probably very stupid,
but I need to be playing this game as well.
TIFFANY: Like, where's your head at?
I feel like nobody wants to, like, throw out a name.
There's five of us who need three people
-to vote one person out. -Yeah.
What's the pros and cons of everybody?
Who do you want to start with?
-Um, I'll start with Bhanu. -Yeah.
While-while he's a sweet, sweet soul,
I think he's a bit emotional at times.
-Yeah. -TIFFANY: Jess, pros...
I'll circle back to that.
Yeah, I don't know what Jess' pros are,
so I think we're pretty solid on the fact that we want Jess out.
What are your pros and cons for Kenz?
Oh, my God. Kenz is so socially strong
-that if she went to the merge, -Yeah.
she's, like, so fast getting to everybody
and bonding with them.
-Is that a pro or a con, though? -Yeah.
-Yeah, yeah, yeah. -I don't know. I haven't made that up in my mind yet.
At this point, I think Jess is kind of, like,
floating around and putting out feelers
to see who...
who will not write her name down.
We were talking about pros and cons of everybody.
We were on, like, Q.
JESS: Q, pros: tribe strength.
-Yeah, so-so what are y'all thinking? -JESS: Yeah.
TIFFANY: It's Bhanu?
I mean, what else is there? I don't want it to be any of us.
-KENZIE: But right now... -JESS: Yeah.
we have a chance to not lose.
-BOTH: Yeah. -KENZIE: And that is because of Q.
But, right now, it's pretty essential
-that we keep him. -TIFFANY: I agree.
Last Tribal, I wanted Jess out first,
and the whole way home,
I just kept thinking to myself,
"You should've got Jess out first."
-Y'all ready? Okay. -Yeah.
TIFFANY: But I'm okay with that,
because she going home
tonight anyway, so...
JESS: Well, Kenz joined us.
-What'd she say? -Well...
(chuckles softly)
-BHANU: Jess, you got to be open with Q. -She pitched one of you,
-and it was... you. -Q: Okay.
BHANU: Bro, this is not nice.
I don't like this.
I don't like to have my name out there.
I just don't understand. Why me?
I'm giving my blood, sweat and tears to this tribe,
and when... and the result, outcome is this?
Just because I'm a little emotional
doesn't mean that you guys vote me out.
(whispers): Like, we need to vote her out.
She's playing you like a fiddle.
BHANU: I'm very nervous, because Jess and I just started
talking strategy, and I don't know
if she's gonna stick to the plan
to blindside Kenzie.
What do you say
that I can trust you with this,
that you're gonna not gonna go back and talk
to Kenzie about our plan?
How can I trust that?
Jess...
Q: So what'd they say about me?
They want to keep you 'cause you're strong. (chuckles softly)
Q: Oh, because I'm strong, huh?
But then, at some point, it won't matter
-how strong any of us are. -Q: Right.
See, Tiff has to be on board.
-You're right. -JESS: Yeah.
Bhanu, you're not going anywhere. Trust me.
I have Jess and Bhanu's vote,
but the problem is this.
Bhanu and Jess are both liabilities,
so I need Tiff. I need her.
I need her to be on the same page as me.
-For real? -Yeah, that's what she said.
Damn. That's crazy.
-Yeah. -Yo, Kenzie is definitely intimidated by you.
Kenzie wants me to herself.
What'd Kenzie say?
Well, no, she didn't say anything specific to me.
She just, like, she'll make comments like,
"You're my number one, right?"
I'm like, "Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah," like...
But, no, I-I do... I can pick up on the fact
that she's intimidated by our relationship.
Man, I don't trust that girl now, bro.
Let me get, uh, closer to you.
Q: Kenzie don't like that I am Tiff's number one.
Eventually, she's gonna get jealous. Why not just
get rid of this problem before it's an actual problem?
Kenzie don't really want me here.
-I'm telling you. -TIFFANY: You don't think she do?
Hell no. She want me here now
-because of the strength. -Huh.
We go to the merge, she will get rid of me
-in a heartbeat. -TIFFANY: Kenzie's
super loyal to me.
I don't know if she's as loyal to Q.
And that's where the divide comes.
Q wants her out ASAP,
but is it too soon?
Q: Somebody don't want me here and I can feel it,
I can't play with them.
...
Q: I don't trust Kenzie
and she doesn't trust me.
But here's the deal. I'm in the middle.
I have two plans going and I don't know which plan
we're gonna execute.
Keeping Jess means I have a loyal number.
She's someone who can vote with me, but
I have to babysit a lot more.
If we keep Kenzie, I don't have to do much work.
She's a self-starter.
Kenzie's gonna go on the other side
and bring in numbers,
but those numbers might not benefit me.
I have to figure out which one will be the best
for my endgame, and I have to figure it out quick.
♪ ♪
PROBST: All right, so, Jess, one of
the unique aspects of Survivor is that
you have to play this game,
live in these conditions, with people
you may not normally want to even be around.
Jeff, we have to rely on each other in these conditions.
We don't have anybody else.
We have to use each other's resourcefulness.
Bhanu even cut his finger with a machete today, just to feed us.
-Like, we're learning to... -You mean he fed you part of his flesh?
(laughing)
I wish. I really need the protein.
PROBST: So, Kenzie, you're always relying on each other,
even though you're voting each other out,
and that's part of what makes it so complicated.
KENZIE: Yeah, it is complicated because we all
genuinely enjoy each other,
but, like, now we're having to choose
who can we work with long-term in gameplay.
It's hard, but that's the reality of the game.
Tiffany, Kenzie was very specific in saying, "Right now,
we have to decide who we can play this game with long-term."
I agree with her. I'm a person who-who acts off of data.
And if we look at the data,
we have lost every challenge we competed in.
So we would be fools not to think about
who can we play this game with beyond
the tribe stage of the game.
Wow. I'm trying to think if there's been a tribe
that has admitted this publicly in front of each other,
especially this early in the game.
So, Jess, does it frighten you that it could
come down tonight, potentially, to relationships
-that people are thinking about days from now? -JESS: Yeah.
It's a dog-eat-dog world out here,
and I don't know that we have our stuff together
to win the next immunity challenge.
We have to be realistic,
and we have to think about how to move forward.
And it sucks because Kenzie and I have not talked strategy.
We've been kind of tiptoeing around each other.
I described it as, like,
we're dancing without touching each other.
-It's really weird. -(Kenzie chuckles)
It's weird 'cause we're both,
like, the smallest people on the tribe,
-and, like, everybody thinks that you're their BFF, -Yeah.
and you're just amazing.
Like, you're-you're going to eat everybody moving forward.
-Like... -KENZIE: Yeah.
I love that you pointed that out to everyone.
-I should've said this to your face. -KENZIE: It's fine. It's okay,
but it doesn't, like, make me want to be like,
"So, what do you want to do?
"Throw me under the bus? Beautiful.
Love it. Let's dance."
So, no, I didn't want to talk strategy with you today.
PROBST: Wow, so, Q,
I'm guessing you didn't anticipate
Tribal Council was gonna go exactly like this.
You know, Jess, in her mind,
she thinks she's in trouble.
So now she's saying, "Okay,
"if I'm going out, I want everybody to be aware
of what is a hidden threat within this camp."
And if that's her truth, that's her truth.
Let's talk about today's challenge.
Tiffany, you were so frustrated
you said, "I'm not even gonna talk,"
which is a normal situation.
When you lose like this, if you're not frustrated
or a little angry, then you're not in it.
Yeah.
I was-I was devastated after that loss.
I willed myself through that challenge.
I gave everything I had.
So to still do that and lose,
like, it-it broke me, like...
So I knew at the end, when we were
just standing there, I was upset from the loss
and I knew that we were coming back here tonight.
I knew it was better for me to just shut up in that moment
than to say something stupid that I would want to take back.
Bhanu, you had no problem releasing your emotions today.
Jeff, I'm a very passionate person.
What's in here is here.
I get that a lot.
"Oh, Bhanu is emotional. He's crying.
He's weak."
Do you know how much courage it takes
for someone to just show their emotions?
I'm showing all my courage. I'm showing my true self.
I'm authentic. And tonight, I'm holding my tears
and I don't want to get emotional
because, Jeff, I heard someone in the tribe saying that,
"Oh, Bhanu, he's-he's weak. He's too emotional."
If this passion, if this emotion is making you feel like,
"Oh, my God, you're too...
You're-you're too this, you're too that," I'm sorry.
I'm so sorry.
But this is me, the passionate me.
So are you saying you think you're in trouble tonight?
-Because... -Absolutely.
I'm 100% on the chopping block tonight,
but tell me where I'm failing in this tribe.
They know that I'm reliable. They know that I'm trustworthy.
They know that I'm honest. They know that I'm disciplined.
They know that I'm hardworking.
When you close, it's what?
-It's a strength. It's a power. -I feel it.
I've told them. I had these conversations with Tiffany,
with Q, of course, Kenzie as well.
And I told them, individually and together,
"Work with me. I want to work with you."
Bhanu, I got to say something, because you've done this twice,
so I don't feel like I'm stepping
-into your game too much. -Please. Please.
You appear to be very forthcoming
about who you're tight with.
At the first Tribal Council,
you were blurting out lots of things and saying,
"Let's just vote 'cause it's Jelinsky."
And just now, what I've gathered is
you have an alliance with Kenzie, Q and Tiffany.
So how about Jess?
Jess and I... Oh, how can I explain this?
I only connected with Jess yesterday.
Yeah.
So, Q, what do you make of Tribal now?
Q: Jeff, we have to be very, very careful
of what we say when we sit in this seat.
The emotions don't have to come out all the time.
Being able to control them is just as powerful
as letting 'em out.
Jeff, the only reason why I said this
is because this is our tribe.
If we're in a merge, I'm not gonna say, like,
"Oh, they said this..." This is just our tribe.
This is Yanu.
Once I say it, I'm done with it.
-Right, but it's gonna come a time where you can't say it. -But what Q's saying...
It's gonna have to stay here. It can't come out of the mouth.
I can do that, too. I'm training myself.
If Jess now feels like
we're all in an alliance and she's going home,
what if she pulls out an idol and write my name down?
You see how that kind of plays itself?
Q, I understand that, but I also trust in
my connection with Jess.
Understood. Jeff, it's time to vote.
You all ready to vote?
