I'll be honest. I do have the skull card.
He literally folded his cards.
And now Maria and myself both have extra votes.
Previously on Survivor...
Come on.
It's a real true idol...
Yes! Survivor bucket list
item achieved.
Nobody knows that I found the Beware Advantage first...
...and that I actually have replanted the note.
Aah!
This does not rock.
Done.
I lost my vote.
Help me. Help me. Help me. Help me.
Help me.
If this is what You wanted,
You shouldn't have put me on Survivor in the first place.
- Help me, Tiff, please. - No.
Wow. What a plan, man.
I am going home tonight,
but it's not about the million dollars.
All I want to do is win a million hearts.
You won my heart, Bhanu.
- Mine, too. - All of our hearts. - Seriously.
All right, Bhanu, when you're ready.
The tribe has spoken.
-The tiniest tribe there ever was. - I know.
That was an interesting Tribal.
Yeah.
I'm happy he told us his story, though.
He's a sweetheart and an amazing person,
but that doesn't necessarily
mean you're, like, the best Survivor player.
- Absolutely. - And that's the... that's the,
- like, hard reality. - Yeah.
It was a unanimous
decision that Bhanu would go home.
We all knew that
we weren't gonna be able to play the game
we wanted to and teach Bhanu
how to play the game at the same time.
We did make a pact on day one, and
- we're still here together. - I'm still riding with you.
So, we did something right.
I'm happy with the three that are left.
Kenzie and Q are my two closest allies in the game.
At this point, we just got to win
one immunity challenge, but
something tells me that's not how it's gonna go down.
We are the worst tribe in Survivor history.
LOL.
Um...
We're going into day ten without fire,
which I think is a record.
It's definitely affecting all of us in a multitude of ways.
My stomach is actually starting to eat itself.
This tribe needs to win,
get some food and just
have fun.
Sorry. I'm just, like, so tired.
Because we, like, keep losing everything.
We don't have fire. We don't...
We can't do anything.
It's frustrating.
Ugh. It's just tough.
Tough, tough, tough.
Ooh.
It's crazy being in, like, a hellhole
in, like, the most beautiful place on Earth.
I remember I read the Mötley Crüe autobiography,
The Dirt, when I was in, like, middle school, and Tommy Lee
talked about coming to Fiji and living in, like, a bungalow.
I'm like... This ain't that.
You know, I've been getting more depleted every day 'cause
the shelter of pain is not a condo
or a luxury hotel room.
But, uh, anytime you suffer
is another opportunity to learn the depths of your mind.
Ooh! Ooh.
- You okay, Ben? - Major, like, spins.
Do you need a water refill?
Yeah, if you could. Thank you, buddy.
I'm really thankful for Charlie,
and he's looking out for me, but, like,
you know, I have had some survival experiences.
You ever been stuck in a van with the same six people
for two months surviving off three dollars
at Taco Bell a day?
It is not easy.
Sir Ben.
Sir Charles, lead the way.
Onward. We go to war.
Feel like Ben's been making
an extra effort to hang around only Charlie recently.
He has. I've seen that.
I think they're trying to make...
The thing is that they did not
- calculate that we got to him first. -Yeah.
But, I mean, this isn't a game of "dids."
-No, it's not. -It's a game of Survivor.
I do trust, you know, Jem, Maria and Charlie.
Where I worry is, Ben and Charlie chatting, and Ben is
the most charismatic and likable,
enjoyable guy I have ever met in my life.
People on our tribe just know how awesome you are, you know?
They know how awesome...
♪ you are. ♪
It seem Charlie's Ben's, like, special buddy,
especially when they're just, like, going on
hour-long music, song battles.
-"Danger." -"The Last Great American Dynasty."
-"I Love It Loud." -"Peace."
-"Killer." -"Hoax."
-"I Still Love You." -"Mad Woman."
Ben can charm anyone.
It's a little bit intimidating.
You can't just say, "my alliance member."
People change. People make their own decisions.
So, if you had to choose, who would be first to go?
In the long run, like, who's more dangerous?
-Yeah. -But...
What if Tim has the idol?
Are we just assuming Tim has the idol?
Tim or Ben.
- I'm assuming one of the two has it. -I agree.
The girls think that one of the guys
might have the immunity idol, but
I found a Beware Advantage, and
it's a clue to the idol.
And nobody suspects that I have anything on me
because I put the Beware Advantage in another tree
to kind of get the scent off of, that somebody
already found something.
Where's the damn scroll?
It's been a wild goose chase, and finally,
everybody knows there's nothing there.
And that played out to my advantage,
because now the women are on the same page.
Either Ben or Tim are gonna be the next
target for us, and then
the three girls are running the show.
This is a beautiful place to have a salsa lesson, though.
Five, six, seven, eight.
One, two, three, pause.
Five, six, seven, pause.
I want to see Charlie get the hips going.
Oh, Charlie!
Cha-cha Charlie, dude.
It's amazing.
I thought it would take
a few, you know, dirty Shirley Temples
to get me in that type of mood.
But out on Survivor,
you're just having so much fun with each other.
Yeah, let's go. Bite that lip.
Four, five, six,
seven. Pause.
You know, the salsa may seem goofy,
but it's all part of the strategy,
if you think about it, you know.
It's going to be very important for me to really be in lockstep
with my number one ally, Maria.
And so, let's switch partners.
We're trying to walk the tightrope
of the middle of this tribe, and you've got
Tim and Ben on one side and Jem and Moriah on the other.
So Maria and I are really in control.
I don't think anyone knows
we're really working closely together,
and that's so powerful, so I want to keep it that way.
If everybody's looking, I guess maybe I should look.
Just got a feeling that I'm not gonna find it.
There's just so many nooks and crannies to scour.
- Mm. - While we're here...
At this point,
getting so close to the merge,
everyone's worried about the idol.
Everybody's searching for this thing.
Soda is very blatantly looking around.
Tevin's out there with the shovel, digging.
You get that little surge of excitement
when you see something, and then...
...nothing.
I have spent so much time looking for this idol.
I've been digging and climbing and, like,
going all over the place.
I feel like I'm walking by it,
and, you know, the camera pans to it,
and ping, there it is, but you don't see it.
This jungle is so huge,
and there are so many small crevices.
I want to find the thing, but it's just like, "Where is it?"
I don't know what the hell going on with the idol.
I don't know if there's more than one,
if there's two, if there's three, if there's none.
So I don't know where to even look.
And no one seems to have found it.
I think every person has looked for the idol except Liz.
I'm just sitting at the shelter.
I keep telling people, "I'm not gonna look."
I'm not gonna search for an idol.
I can barely find my shoes.
Looking for an idol is just so difficult.
It is so dense out here.
It's almost impossible
to scour every little inch.
There may be one coconut you don't turn over,
but there's, like, a million coconuts.
It's exhausting.
And at the same time,
we don't want it to fall into the wrong hands.
What is that man looking for?
I'm gonna go spoil his fun.
An idol.
In my mind, it's day ten,
and I'm pretty sure that sucker is found.
And I guess I was wrong in assuming you found it.
This advantage
has really weighed on my mind because I know Randen found it.
And he was medevaced with that Beware Advantage
in his pocket, so, it's probably back in the game.
Hunter knows this island better than anyone,
so, Hunter, if you're finding that idol,
I will find it with you.
I-I'm shameless. I will literally follow you.
And if I'm annoying you, I don't care.
It would be near a landmark, no?
I don't know. I mean, in the other season, it was, like,
tied to the top of a bush, and then,
in, like, those little cracks of those things.
And so, I think the era of the landmark
has kind of, like, passed.
Yeah.
Venus keeps following me around
as I'm looking for an idol.
So, I automatically just sit down
and stop searching.
I don't want her to know if I find it.
Realistically, Hunter, if we do go into any kind of merge,
we have to pick out who the biggest threat is.
People might be thinking you.
Okay, but you don't think that?
No, I do, but I...
So you want to vote me out today?
I don't because I consider you a meat shield.
Come on, man.
I know that I am a huge challenge threat.
That's why I'm looking for idols and stuff.
I wish she would just leave me alone.
Can you believe we're halfway through
and we haven't even started playing?
- It's unheard of. - It's pretty fun.
Thank you.
- I'm rooting for you. - I'm rooting for us,
for Nami.
After our really cagey,
awkward conversation,
Venus finally decides to leave me alone.
And then I can get back to really looking.
So much time spent looking for this stupid thing.
And then I see it-- the Beware Advantage.
It's about time.
Oh, golly.
Forget that. We're looking at it.
I know being the biggest challenge threat
is making a target on my back.
So I snatched that thing up as fast as I could.
"Dig directly below the spot
where you found the Beware Advantage."
Well, I started digging, and I find a big old box,
and the box has a lock on it,
but there's a little scroll on it.
And it says, "There is a hidden immunity idol in this box,
but the box requires a key to open it."
Oh, boy.
"The location of the key will remain a mystery
"until after your tribe loses a future immunity challenge.
"Once your tribe loses,
"return to this location to receive further instructions.
"Until you have taken possession of the idol,
you cannot vote at Tribal Council."
I do want to have this idol,
but now I have to wait until my tribe loses?
Looking at the performance of the other tribes,
it doesn't look like it's gonna happen very soon.
Thankfully, there's a clause that says if we don't lose,
I still have an opportunity to get it.
I know
that I am in trouble if the merge hits.
I know that I need as many weapons and tools
as I can have going into it, and so,
this could be game-changing for me.
Oh, my God.
We have it rough right now,
and we still don't have flint.
And it's rain
just about every day.
Plus, I'm hungry, I haven't eaten in ten days.
And sleeping on the bamboo, sitting on the bamboo,
hell, even looking at the bamboo at this point--
it's getting on my nerves.
No tree mail.
I'm sure he's fine.
We've gone through hell.
We're the only tribe, on day ten,
who has even stepped foot into Tribal Council.
And for Tiff and I, it's almost comical.
What will Yanu lose today?
But we are in a tough spot,
and it just seems to be getting tougher and tougher.
And Q is starting to get, like, really down.
We can make it.
We've, like, already fought so hard,
and I don't see either one of us,
like, stopping anytime soon.
- What? - I might.
- Stop? - Say ...
-Don't say that. -I already told you.
Are you serious about that?
- Yeah. - Like, you would just want to go?
It's not giving up. It's accepting.
This morning, I could tell something was off.
So now, Q has thrown himself on the sword.
He's telling us he's ready to go.
If someone's saying, "Send me home,"
that's one step closer for me to the end.
Let's just win.
It's tempting to just give up and go home,
but I would never do that.
The reality of the situation is this.
Regardless of the conditions, I'm willing
to pass out and die before I quit.
But I don't want Kenzie
to know that, because if we have to
go back to Tribal,
I want Kenzie comfortable
so she's not gonna play her Shot in the Dark.
I've been saying it the whole time.
I got one number one out here, and that's just real.
Absolutely.
Hey, have you noticed,
when Kenzie walk up, the first thing she always asked is...
Yeah, I noticed that.
What are y'all talking about?
Oh.
What are y'all talking about?
Chopping up wood.
What are y'all talking about?
Coconuts versus papayas.
What are y'all talking about?
Q over here telling us to write his name down.
It would be devastatingly hard
if we go to another Tribal Council,
especially for me, because
Kenzie's expecting me to vote Q
and Q's expecting me to vote Kenzie,
which puts me in a really tough position.
It forces me to have to choose between my two tightest allies.
So I'm praying
we don't have to go back to Tribal Council
so I don't have to make that decision.
We just need to get this fire going.
Yeah.
Hmm? I don't... I don't feel nothing yet.
Tiki Man, everybody... everybody want to be in our business.
Everybody want to know what we're talking about.
I feel fine.
I'm getting hungry,
but I'm drinking enough.
I haven't pooped, so I don't know, like,
whether or not to be concerned.
I'm talking to Tiki Man.
Oh.
But I feel good nevertheless.
You know, it is what it is. It's Survivor.
And I'm just trying to see it through for my family.
Somebody moved the Beware Advantage.
I'm trying to figure out who.
Somebody lied and made me dig three feet.
That would be the dickest move to make people dig
- for three days. -Yeah.
- And give 'em no... - And kill a tree.
I have no idea who
put it there to play with us. These people are nuts.
I'm talking about my tribe. Siga is nuts.
Like, right now, we're all suspects.
I do feel like I trust Ben.
We vibe, we're hanging out.
♪ Brotherly love. ♪
Same for Maria.
The parent connection is strong for us
since the beginning.
- And I still feel confident in you, Charlie, Ben and I. - Yeah.
And Charlie. I think we're a really strong four
- going forward. - Yeah, I think so.
I have a feeling about who did it.
So I'm excited about putting the pieces together.
How you moved the Beware Advantage?
What Beware Advantage?
I don't know about that.
- So you don't have an idol? - I don't have an idol.
Why are you freaking out?
I feel... I feel... You're gonna make me upset.
I really feel like I'm on the bottom.
Don't get u... Nobody's on the bottom.
I don't believe her. Jem's,
like, acted weird.
Ugh! I don't like it. I do not like it.
Somebody moved that Beware Advantage, yo.
I think so, too.
I'm not-I'm not sure, but I think
she's fooling me and everybody else.
You and Mo not tight? So who you tight with? Just me?
- I hon... Can I be honest? - Yeah.
I don't feel like I have, like, a very tight relationship
with anybody, so I don't know what's going on in your head.
Tim's coming at me so hard for information, but
I'm a fantastic liar. I just found it out.
'Cause usually, at home when I lie, I giggle.
And, like, my husband knows when I lie.
But I haven't giggled at all. Like, I just lied.
What are you thinking... if you had to vote?
We are. Bros are tight.
Ben and Tim think they're running the show,
but the girls have control, which is great,
'cause when you're playing this game,
it's either you or them, and that's how I see it.
So it's either me
or Ben or Tim and so, it's better them than me.
Come on in.
I love the reaction, Moriah.
Hello, Jeff.
Oh, my God.
Getting your first look at the new Yanu tribe.
Bhanu voted out at the last Tribal Council.
All right, shall we get to today's immunity challenge?
- Yes. -First things first.
Got to take back the idols.
Thank you, Moriah.
Tevin, come on, give it up.
- Jeff, please. - Don't make me take it.
- Scary.
Once again...
immunity is back up for grabs.
All right.
For today's challenge,
one at a time, you're gonna race
through a massive, three-level obstacle course,
collecting keys along the way.
Once everybody's at the finish, one person will use those keys
to unlock a long hook.
You'll use the hook to release sandbags.
You will then race to fire those sandbags at a series of targets.
First two tribes to finish
win immunity, safe from the vote.
In addition, playing for a reward.
Want to know what's playing for?
- Yes, please, Jeff.
-Food. - I think you're gonna like it.
-Food. -Please.
Oh, Jesus Lord, my God.
I told you.
Pastries and fruit...
-My God! -I called it.
...for the first tribe to finish.
For the second tribe to finish, a smaller sampling
- of the same thing. -That's all good.
Last tribe to finish, otherwise known as?
The losers.
I thought they might say Yanu.
- Jeff, come on! - That's crazy, Jeff.
- Jeff, don't be dirty. -That's crazy. Wow. - Shady.
- I'm just saying. - You're so sassy.
Last tribe to finish, Tribal Council
where somebody will be the fifth person voted out of this game,
and as a penalty for losing, I will keep your flint.
Yanu, you are still working to earn yours.
And I would like to take a moment,
because we love records on Survivor.
Yanu, you have endured longer than any tribe in the new era
without your flint-- 11 days.
That is a record.
And if you lose this challenge,
you will hold another record.
The most immunity losses
in a season in the new era.
Wow.
If that's not inspiration,
I got nothing for you. All right.
Let's get to sit-outs.
Nami, sitting two people out.
Cannot sit out in back-to-back challenges.
Tevin must compete. Who's it gonna be?
I'll sit out.
Soda and Liz gonna sit out.
All right, Siga, Jem and Maria must participate.
Who are you gonna pick to join?
It's gonna be Tim. Tim.
So Moriah, Charlie and Ben gonna be the sit-outs.
All right, sit-outs, take a spot on the bench. Everybody else,
give you a minute to strategize. We'll get it on.
Let's go, Yanu!
All right, here we go.
For immunity and reward.
Survivors ready?
- Go! -Let's go, Nami!
Kenzie, Tim and Hunter out first.
Let's go, Nami!
A massive obstacle course. You've got to collect
three keys in order.
One, two, then three.
Let's go, Siga!
Tim has the first bag for Siga.
- Tim of the jungle!
Hunter has the first bag for Nami.
- Let's go, baby!
Challenge war board!
It is Tim in the lead, then Hunter.
Kenzie's got a bag for Yanu.
Let's go, Tim!
Tim is ripping through this.
He doesn't even use the ladder.
Tim at the third bag.
Hunter's got his second bag.
-Yes, Tim! You're flying! -Tim!
Tim is across.
Go, Siga! Go, Nami!
Here comes Maria.
- Here comes Tevin. -Come on, Maria!
-Come on, Kenz. - Oh, my God.
Come on, Kenz! Come on, Kenz! Let's go!
Kenzie falling behind for Yanu.
She's got the second bag.
- Maria at her first bag. -That's it, baby girl!
Tevin at his first bag.
Let's go, Tevin! Let's go!
Kenzie finally has her third bag.
- Oh! - And falls.
Go, Yanu!
Here comes Tiff.
Go, Maria! Use that leg!
Siga and Nami are side by side.
Maria and Tevin, pastries and immunity on the line.
Tevin has his second bag. Maria has hers.
Here's Tiff for Yanu.
Dead last, a familiar spot.
Tevin working on that third bag.
All right, Maria!
Get 'em on the table.
- Go, Nami! -Let's go, V!
Here comes Venus.
Maria's got the third bag. Go, Siga!
- Here comes Jem. -Let's go, Jem.
-Let's go, V! -Let's go, V!
You got this, Tiffany!
Yanu really taking a long time.
Tiffany has all three.
Go! It's Q on the course now.
-There you go, Venus. -You got it, V.
There goes Venus working her way to that second bag.
My little woman stick bug.
- Jem going for the second bag.
Q has got a lot of time to make up.
-You got this, Q! -He's trying to get Yanu
back in this.
They have yet to win an immunity challenge this entire season.
-Jem has a second bag. -Let's go, Venus.
- You're good. -Venus has her second bag.
You got it, Q!
Q with his first bag.
-You got this, Q! -Let's go, Jem!
-Jem has her third.
- You're good, baby. Come on. -You're good, Siga.
It's gonna be Tim working the rope.
You're good, Nami. It's gonna be Hunter on the rope for Nami.
First you got to find the three keys
and figure out which one unlocks your hook.
Good luck, baby.
Q working on that third bag. He's got it.
Got to get down.
You're good!
It's gonna be Q.
Is that it? -Nothing but luck, baby.
Now Hunter has his hook unlocked.
He can start working on the rope.
Tim still looking for the key.
Here's the opportunity for Yanu to get back in it.
And just like that, Q has the hook for Yanu.
They got a shot.
Still looking for their first taste of victory.
You've got to untwist that rope. All of it.
Few more, baby.
-Let's go, Tim! -You got this, Tim.
Tim finally has his hook.
It is Q, Tim and Hunter
trying to release that rope
so they can release their sandbags.
That's awesome. Yes.
Hunter drops for Nami.
They can start collecting their sandbags.
Tim has the bags undone.
You're good, Siga! Start collecting those sandbags.
-Q still working on that rope. -Same thing.
Just reach out further.
Come on!
You got to get all your sandbags.
- Wow. -Jem, you're so quick. Let's go!
Once they're all in there, you're good.
- You're good. -All right, Maria!
Here goes Tevin.
The massive Survivor slingshot.
Looking for three targets to knock down.
So proud of you. You got this.
Just misses!
Come on. Try again.
Q still working on the rope.
Yanu is dead last again,
which is a common story.
-There you go. - Tevin again.
Knocks down the first target for Nami!
Everybody's got to hit one target.
You got it. Nice shot.
There goes Maria. She misses.
It's Venus now for Nami.
Venus knocks down a target with her first shot.
Nami down to one target left. It's Hunter.
Maybe give yourself a little slack.
Q has released his sandbags!
You're good, Yanu! Let's go!
-Hunter, you got this! -You got this, Hunter.
You got it, Hunter. Right here, for the win.
There it is, for the win!
Nami remains undefeated.
♪ Nami, Nami, Nami, Nami. ♪
We're looking for one more.
Can Yanu get back in this?
Siga has not knocked down any targets yet.
Here goes Tiff.
And she connects. Yanu has their first target.
Maria, you got this!
Maria just misses.
- Here comes Q.
Jem for Siga.
And she does it. We are tied, one-one.
Anybody could win this right now, including Yanu.
Yanu either gonna break a losing streak
or set a record for the longest losing streak.
There goes Kenzie.
And she does it!
Nami has two! Maria hits
her second right on the heels of Kenzie.
And it is a showdown-- Tim versus Q.
One target left for both Siga and Yanu.
For the win right here.
- Tim, no. - Okay.
-Q... no.
Right there! You're right there!
This is the greatest playoffs of the century.
Both guys quickly reload, but Q is way ahead of Tim.
Come on, baby, Celtics, baby!
There it is! Yanu wins
their first immunity challenge of the season...
Hey.
...sending Siga to Tribal Council
- for the first time.
- We did it! - Yeah!
Ah!
And that is what a victory looks like
on day 11 for Yanu.
Smiling faces.
Fire!
Thank you.
Yes.
Nami, once again, congratulations.
- Thank you. - Immunity is yours.
Nobody going home from Nami.
Yanu, for the first time this season,
the immunity idol is coming to your camp.
- Thank you. - Along with it,
- your flint.
First time in 11 days.
Mwah.
- That should be a game-changer, Kenzie.
Oh, my gosh.
Yeah, this is amazing.
Let's just take a moment,
since you have been winless.
What is that feeling right now,
Tiff, to be holding that idol?
Honestly...
it feels so good,
but all I can think about right now is that
I'm not gonna wake up freezing cold tomorrow.
It's been so hard sleeping without fire
for the last 11 days. Like, brutal.
I'm just... I'm so happy, Jeff.
Kenzie, what's the feeling?
It's been a very long losing streak for Yanu.
This feeling is new to us.
All we really know is losing,
and we have lost half of our tribe.
So the fact that we get to keep us together,
like some semblance of Yanu moving forward, it's...
You know, we were preparing for the worst this morning.
We were like, "What if we have to go down to two?"
Because that's all we knew.
So this is just a little bit of security
in a game where we haven't had any.
All right, Nami, you also won reward.
Large tray of pastries
and fruit will be waiting for you back at camp.
Yanu, a smaller tray of pastries and fruit
will be waiting for you back at camp.
Siga, different story.
Tribal Council tonight,
where somebody from your tribe
will be the fifth person voted out of Survivor 46.
And as a penalty for losing, you know what's coming.
Sorry for you, I'm gonna take your flint.
All right, before I send you on your way...
journey.
- Oh.
Nami, you are in charge of who goes.
Just like last time, one person from your tribe,
one person from Siga, one person from Yanu.
Who's going from your tribe?
- I'm gonna go. -Hunter's gonna go.
All right, who from Siga is gonna go on this journey?
Any volunteers?
All right, Tim's gonna go on the journey from Siga.
And you've got the Yanu three.
We're gonna let Q go.
All right, so it's gonna be Hunter,
Tim and Q on the journey. Grab your stuff, head out.
You will return back to camp before Tribal Council.
Nami, grab your stuff, head out.
No Tribal Council. Nobody going home.
- Thank you, Jeff. - Good job, Nami.
-Thank you. -Thank you.
Yanu, grab your stuff.
I know you won't miss me at Tribal.
- Sure won't. -Head out, enjoy the night off
and that well-deserved reward.
Thanks, Jeff. Good luck, y'all.
Good luck, guys.
All right, Siga, grab your stuff, head out.
See you tonight at Tribal.
We've been the vibe tribe for the whole first 11 days.
Thing about vibes is they can go from good to bad,
and it's just terrifying.
Tonight's our first time at Tribal,
and everyone's got the feeling
of dread all over their body.
Winning feels amazing.
I'm feeling the best that I've felt in 11 days.
I'm excited, ready and eager
to have a bro moment at this journey.
I couldn't wait.
That was a good win, man.
- I'm glad you got your flint, man. - Yeah. Man.
- I'm glad you got your... I was pissed we lost, but... - But we-we...
- we haven't eaten since we got on the beach. - Oh, yeah.
- Have y'all had a fire yet? - No.
- I didn't think y'all did. - Never.
Only thing we've had was one coconut a day.
- Wow. -Damn.
So we're looking at one more vote before a merge, possibly.
- If we get to the merge... -Yeah.
the physical threats--
it-it's only really three of us.
We gonna have to stick together, regardless.
And the only thing that I can think of is,
if you get one person you trust,
- Yeah. - I get one person I trust,
- you get one person you trust. - Mm-hmm.
So if we can do that,
- we can make it to six, and may the best man win. - Yeah.
What about Tiffany?
- Is she with you? - Tiff.
- Tiff would be my one. - Okay. Okay.
- I don't know who would be your one, who would be your one. - Okay.
- Maybe Jem. - Maria's got the extra vote,
so I'm using her as my one.
She's strong, and we're both...
We're the only parents over there.
- Maria for you - Yeah. Tevin.
- And Tevin for you. - Tevin.
- Are we solid on this alliance? -I'm solid.
- I-I swear to you guys. -I'm solid on this...
Hunter, myself and Tim
are the biggest threats, physically.
So we agree that the three of us
pick one person on our tribe,
and let's go to the final six.
I think that's a good plan.
- Want to read this? -Let's do it.
It's a Survivor knowledge test.
We have to decide,
as a group, who will go do this
Survivor knowledge test and risk not having a vote.
I'm a superfan,
and I'm confident in my ability.
However, my vote
is way too valuable
tonight at Tribal Council,
so I don't want to play the game.
Y'all superfans?
- I'm a pretty big fan. -Yeah, yeah.
Are you-are you a superfan?
If you're a pretty big fan, I don't know,
you might know some more knowledge than I do.
-You'll definitely know more than me. - Yeah.
- I'm comfortable with you going, bro. -Okay.
- Best of luck, man. - We'll see what happens.
- Thank you. - Good luck, man.
The journey is awesome
because you have an opportunity to meet people
and, you know, whatever connections
you can have, I'll take.
And now,
if I can get a big advantage from this,
it would be amazing.
Oh, boy.
Okay.
Let's just see what all we got.
The journey is an opportunity to test my Survivor knowledge.
There's this long table,
and you've got to put 20 Survivor logos
in chronological order.
I'm a pretty big fan, but
when I watched Survivor,
my college roommate
was the one who introduced it to me.
And he just showed 'em to me in order
of seasons that he likes, not in chronological order.
And so I was like, "Oh, boy.
This is not gonna be easy."
Well, we know that one.
But I recognize Borneo, season one.
Boom. First one right there.
Let's just start putting these in, at least.
I recognize quickly Pearl Islands
because you have Sandra and you have Rupert.
Yes!
All from Pearl Islands.
That was number seven, right before All-Stars.
We know Parvati played in Cook Islands,
before Tocantins,
because Parvati had won by Heroes vs. Villains.
And so we know it's Cook Islands
and then Caramoan.
We keep going. I remember Tocantins,
which is Tyson, like, my favorite player.
I just always smell like flowers and exotic fruits.
You have Redemption Island, where Boston Rob and them
- come back. - You gotta hustle
if you want to make a dollar.
I love those seasons, so those were pretty easy for me.
Kaôh Rong is, like, the one
where Caleb passed out.
Panama was before Cook Islands.
I think I've been doing pretty well.
But, also, it's just fun to walk down memory lane
and be inspired by all the other people who have played before.
Eight was All-Stars.
But if this is number seven, that's not possible.
So we have to figure out where I'm missing something.
Golly. This is gonna be impossible.
Why didn't I watch them in order?
I can look at these logos and say things that happen
in the season, but it wasn't questions
about what happened during the season.
It was a question of the order.
There's a big gap here. What happens between here?
This is 28. This is 22.
No.
No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.
But as you sit there,
your brain's not functioning at full capacity
because you haven't slept well and you haven't eaten well.
And so you're like,
"I really need you to, like, really kick in
and tell me the order."
Ooh. Golly.
Also, there's this timer ticking in your head,
and you're like, "Did Debbie come back for a Second Chance
or did she come back for Game Changers?
It's nauseating, frustrating and I'm pissed!
Pretty sure she came back for Game Changers.
And so, as the timer's running out,
I am as content as I'm gonna be.
But, you know,
if I miss even one of these things,
then I lose my vote.
Feel good about these right here.
I mean, that could be the order.
Oh, dear. Time to flip.
Yeah.
Okay.
Yes. Yes.
Yes.
No. No.
No. No. No.
No.
I got-I got those way off.
There, there, there, there, there.
And then switch those two.
Not great.
Eight out of 20. Not great.
That is not a passing grade.
I lost my vote because I didn't know the order of the logos.
Which sounds terrible,
but if this whole plan works
with Q and Tim--
the brochachos, like, the meathead thing--
that's good for my game.
Those connections going into merge
could be worth a million dollars.
Always risky to put yourself on that boat and take a journey,
but that's what makes Survivor so fun.
Apply to be on Survivor.
What is this? -Honey.
- It's blueberry. Oh, my God. - Blueberry.
- That's the best thing I've ever had in my life. - In my whole life.
We just won our first immunity challenge.
I have been starving,
and after 11 days,
no fire, no food, we just dive in.
Oh. I'm elated.
Oh, my God.
We're literally just, like, stuffing our faces.
"Give me this muffin."
Like...
It was beautiful.
- Ah. - Ooh.
I never tasted anything better than that.
But most importantly,
I didn't have to vote out anybody.
I still got Kenzie, I still got Q,
and the comeback kids are coming back.
- Hey, welcome back. -I'm so tired.
Yeah, like, I know you're friggin' starving.
Where's the food?
We saved you a third of everything.
That chocolate muffin is bussin'.
That hit the spot.
Hey, buddy. You like Q?
- I like you, too. -Isn't he cute?
- Fine time to come home with me.
The unbelievable happened.
Winning is, like...
I don't even have words.
Like, I could explode. I'm so happy for us.
We finally got our flint.
So the record
now dies at day 11.
We never stopped fighting.
That's what life is about.
We've held on through the 11 days
of no fire, the 11 days of no food,
the 11 days of rain, and loss and losing tribe members.
We've held this little spark.
And that was just enough to keep us going.
We finally have a nice fire.
The first fire on Yanu
with a hibiscus flower in my hair.
Just the way I wanted.
I'm so excited.
We don't have to worry and, like, fight for our lives.
We get to just relax as friends for the first time, truly.
Comeback kids.
- Yes.
We did it.
Didn't fall our way today, but...
- Yeah... - But, you know, I will say,
even though Yanu won,
and we're obviously here, like, people need a moment
to feel a little sane.
- And I'm glad they finally got one. -Yeah.
We've had a blessing of a time out here.
11 days, six strong.
Going to Tribal,
it's our first vote. People are scared.
And we have this wonderful,
looming question mark of what idols and advantages
are gonna come out of the woodworks tonight.
Maria has an extra vote from the first journey.
Ben also went on a journey.
He also might have some advantage or a lost vote.
Who really knows? I mean,
Tim's on the journey, right?
Journeys are terrifying.
He could be coming back with something.
And then, on top of that, we have this mysterious
Beware Advantage lurking about.
And, oh, yeah,
everyone has a Shot in the Dark. Ta-da.
Everything could go wrong tonight.
We've never dealt with this before.
So I want to go idol hunting, and I'm not talking as a group.
- I'm talking, like, idol hunting. - Just go do your thing.
- Okay. - All righty. -All right.
Think everybody goes and does
- whatever they want to do. -Yeah.
Oh, my God. I don't have a vote for tonight's Tribal.
And as soon as we lost that challenge,
it just, like, hit me.
I have to go back to the place where I found
the Beware Advantage, because now I get more information
to find the key for the immunity idol in the box.
Oh, my God. Like, this is crazy.
I have to go back to camp,
get the machete to go measure stuff,
and I know that I have to do
three different tasks. And I'm like,
"The tribe is right here.
Like, how am I gonna get away with it?"
All right, dude, I'm gonna head out there.
I have to figure out how to get my immunity idol
before tonight's Tribal Council
or I'm gonna lose my vote.
Every time I walk this way or walk that way,
I kind of see people in the path.
And I was like,
"Jem, you got to go. This is your moment."
I have three different places to measure.
The tribe's flag.
I need to also measure
the perimeter of the tribe's boat.
I added it up, and it was 12.
Tree mail.
And then finally the perimeter of tree mail.
And it's four.
"Boat times logo plus tree mail."
12 times two
is 24, plus the four is 28.
I need to go back
to where I originally found the Beware Advantage
and measure 28 machetes out towards the beach.
Fear crept into my heart.
I'm looking to make sure nobody's coming. And then
I was like, "Okay. Let's go."
Please, please, please, please, please.
Oh, my God.
Oh, yeah.
Hooray. I found it.
I dig up a rope with a key.
And that was the moment
I knew that that's the key to unlock that box.
And emotions, like, overwhelmed me.
This is my dream coming out here,
to find an idol, and I did it, and nobody has any idea.
Now I got to make sure that the women plus Charlie
are still going strong,
so there's no way tonight that Ben or Tim
is not going home.
So what do you think Tim is gonna come back with?
He's for sure coming back with something.
And I think he already has something.
- So how do we want to vote today? -I don't know.
How many votes?
I've got two.
- I feel really strong. - I think we put three on Ben
- and two on Tim... -Yeah, two on Tim. I agree.
- Let's lock down on that. -I like that.
- But let's talk to Charlie. -Okay.
We have to go to our first Tribal Council,
which means get my extra vote from the journey.
And I'm willing to use it because
Tim potentially has an idol, you know?
So I think we have to take out Ben,
and I think we're four strong with Charlie, and so
the plan is very foolproof.
Maria's pretty confident Tim has the idol.
So that's why we're gonna put two on him.
- So he plays his idol, and then Ben goes home. - Yeah.
Okay.
Ben is the target.
Bam. It's like my heart plummeted in a second.
I've gotten very close with Ben over the past couple days.
Yeah.
I'm...
I know. It sucks.
But he's a really big threat.
- Like... - Mm-hmm.
People are talking about Ben as a big-time social threat.
He's a magnetic guy.
He's charismatic. He's funny. It's true.
You know, people like Ben a lot. I like Ben a lot.
And I want to keep him around,
because, ultimately, Ben is an asset.
You're back!
- Let me tell you about the-the journey. - Let's hear it.
So, the journey is
whoever knows the most Survivor knowledge.
Hunter says he'll do it,
and so-so I'm not doing it.
- Nothing happened. I didn't get anything. -Yeah.
I didn't play. I didn't get anything.
In my gut feeling,
I feel like Tim is not being truthful
about the journey.
And so we want to vote Ben out, 'cause that's just
an easy vote, just in case Tim has something.
I know that Tim doesn't have the idol.
I have it.
I'm gonna be bringing it just in case
I need to use it tonight, because I'm so worried.
Like, Ben and Tim are up to something big.
So I have to find out what their plan is
for tonight's Tribal Council.
- Look, I'm the judge. I got the gavel. - Listen...
- Listen, I know... - Uh-huh?
...you and Tim have a really strong relationship.
- Everybody says that, but you don't... we don't... - Listen...
- Yeah. - This is Jem, okay?
Okay? Okay?
- So this is not... - If you only knew what we laugh about.
- I don't care what you laugh about. - Okay.
- But I want to be part of the laugh is what I'm saying. - Okay.
I don't know, dude.
- You're holding a machete. - Honestly,
- but, like, whoever you want to vote for, like, let me know. - Yeah.
I will vote with you, whoever you guys think.
- Please, tell me, honestly. I'm all about honesty.
- Yeah. -Jem corners me.
She's trying to get some information,
'cause she's gunning for me. You just know when you know.
She's holding the machete. So I grab the hammer.
I'm, like, trying to hold my space.
- Tonight is do-or-die. Yeah. - I know. It's do-or-die.
And I will not flip.
- I'm looking you straight in the eyeballs. - I know.
I'm not blinking, and I wouldn't flip.
- Trust in your gut. - It's, like...
She's like, "Go with your gut."
And my gut is telling me Jem's playing at all costs
and if we keep her around, she's just gonna
screw us at the next vote, because she's so, like...
It's chaos mode.
And I know she's approached Tim, 'cause I saw it and I heard it.
Let me know who to vote for, and look at me.
I will vote with you.
You're not looking at me. Tell me what I got to do.
I'm just hoping we take Jem out.
The problem is,
nobody knows I don't have a vote.
- Jem's in chaos mode. -Yeah, I bet.
I had to grab the hammer 'cause she was holding the machete.
And she goes, "You know I'm loyal.
Like, you know we can work together."
And she just keeps interrupting me.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Me not having a vote, it definitely blows.
But, like, Jem-- she's kind of,
like, made everybody feel a little bit on edge.
She's on endgame mode.
But if you come into a game like this already thinking
about the million dollars and you're not thinking about
every step along the way, you're never gonna get there.
- Jem confronting all of us like that... - Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm.
Now, potentially, you don't have a vote?
Just assuming I don't have it, right?
If you, Tim and Charlie stick on Jem,
it's still a majority.
Maria and I have been playing the middle
the entire time we've been out here.
I go back and forth. I think Maria
goes back and forth.
And right now, we're at that crossroads.
Okay. Just tell me where your head's at.
We can go with the women-- Jem and Mo--
or we could go with Tim and Ben and with the men.
This is the thing that makes me nervous is,
I heard you saying that you're feeling close to Ben.
Just, like, you feel bonded to him, and...
So I'll tell you where my head's at with Ben.
We need threats in front of us.
- He's a shield. - Yeah.
And he is a charisma rock and roll shield.
Clearly, Charlie's more
keen on working with Ben and Tim,
but, you know, trust is a big deal for me.
I think working with Jem and Mo,
we have a much deeper amount of trust. Like, I don't...
I don't trust Ben and Tim.
I have flip-flopped like a kid on a seesaw,
because I think that Jem
will be loyal to us down the line.
We have to think long-term.
Jem and Ben
both have reasons to catch votes tonight.
Yeah. Yeah.
- Okay. All right. - Let's do this.
Jem's playing really hard, making people
be very wary of her.
So you don't hit me with the machete.
Ben's strength is his humor,
but that's just as dangerous as it is fun to be around.
Tonight, we find out the alliances.
Line in the sand.
At Tribal, there's no more flip-flopping.
It's all about Maria and I
putting our cards on the table and not looking back.
And all of a sudden, you've got six people
who yesterday were hunky-dory, dancing the salsa,
and today,
we're scared out of our minds that our dream's gonna end,
you know, no more salsa.
Behind each of you is a torch.
Go ahead and grab one, dip it in and get fire.
This is part of the ritual at Tribal Council
because in this game, fire represents your life.
When your fire's gone, so are you.
That will be the case for one of the six of you tonight.
So, Ben, the upside of not coming to Tribal
until day 11 is obvious.
All six people are still in the game.
So what do you do, from an individual standpoint,
when you all share one thing in common:
you've never been to Tribal?
Definitely feels like some Ozzy Osbourne
-"going off the rails on a crazy train" in every direction.
Everybody, I think, is sussing out a vibe.
We've been calling ourselves "the vibe tribe"
since day one, and now the reckoning has come.
Maria, how does it impact the first Tribal
when you've spent so many days relying on each other,
surviving in the jungle, and now you got to vote somebody out?
I think this is the time where we rip off the Band-Aid.
And this is gonna hurt, doing it at day 11,
I think, than having to do it at day two or three,
because we gel so well together.
- We're even dancing together. - Yeah.
Yeah, we learned how to salsa dance from Maria yesterday.
It's like being at a retreat sometimes.
- Wake up, shred the aqua dump.
- Then everybody's, like... - Yeah, normal retreat, yeah.
- Just to clarify, we do not aqua dump together. - Yeah.
That's the one solo activity we do.
But it feels like
we're living in Survivor la-la land.
Jeff, it goes like this.
"I'm low on water. I want to go to the well."
-"Okay, we're coming." - Five hands.
And all six of us walk to the water well
and to tree mail.
We go to bed together,
we wake up together.
-Well, Charlie? - Yeah.
What all of that equals
to me is massive blindside tonight.
I'm no math guy, but it seems like
you've got the equation right.
You know, we don't have a Hunter or a Q.
How we survive is by being scrappy, by being gritty
and working together. That was
necessary for us to all get to day 11,
but we're starting to feel the heat for the first time.
It's not just smoke. There's a whole lot of fire around here.
Moriah, was there much talk about
- idols or advantages in the game? -Oh, yeah.
There's the possibility of an idol out there,
and I don't know how many votes may be
at this Tribal at this point.
People may have zero votes.
Some people may have two.
There may be four extra votes cast tonight.
Actually, I'm really bad at math,
so that doesn't totally add up to me right now.
But I get your point, is that there's this uncertainty
- because of journeys about who might have what. - Yeah. Yeah.
Yeah. And then,
we're a hot mess when it comes to, like, Beware Advantages.
We've had, like, a laundry list
of debacles over at camp.
Jeff, Maria found
what we assumed was a Beware Advantage.
All the advantage says is "dig down."
So we get digging, and we get digging, and we get digging.
And then we rip the whole tree up, and there's nothing.
And all six Sigas have been pouring a whole lot of energy
into a whole lot of nothing.
- Over three days, - Emphasis on "hole."
So, Maria, what's the conclusion
that you've come to?
- That you haven't found it? -Well,
that's a really good question, Jeff.
I think that it must have
been found by someone else before me.
Yeah.
So, Jem, you're in an interesting dilemma
as a group of six because you formed these relationships,
people that you like and want to work with.
So was there any debate for you
about who you wanted to vote out tonight?
I'm sitting here and I am lost for words
because I'm still trying to think
who I might want to put on the parchment.
And there's no name that's coming up.
Like, can I write your name down?
- You can't write my name down, Jem.
I'm here forever.
Sorry. Sorry.
Permanent immunity idol.
So, Tim, what is about to happen?
Because even right now, everybody's smiling and yet
a name will be written down,
and I'm guessing one of the six of you
are going to be very surprised it's you.
- Am I right? - You're absolutely right.
But we might just all be playing
a very, very good game right now
so that nobody feels targeted
before we all start marching up those steps.
Maria, that rings very true.
It does. I think that
we all, deep down, know what we're gonna write down.
I think all of us are lying
by saying we don't know what we're gonna do.
Jem, do you think that's a group feeling
or is that just where Maria's at?
I think nobody wants to rock the boat.
Just thinking about it, there's so many options, right?
If you want to move forward in this game,
you have to be able to, like, trust the alliances
you made right now.
Ben, is it possible that tonight's vote does more damage
than just one person going home
'cause you can no longer trust everybody?
I mean, that's always a possibility.
I know I'm still getting a Siga tattoo either way.
You know? We've all talked about it.
But, um, yeah, obviously,
you never know if somebody's gonna feel like
they were on the bottom, and if we get to another side,
why would I want to work with those people in the merge?
So you never know, but that's the thing about Survivor.
One vote, one challenge at a time.
Hopefully, you get to your long goal.
Charlie, how will this tribe
be different after tonight's vote?
I think it's a test of
can this tribe face a loss and still be the vibe tribe,
or is the vibe tribe a mask that we've been wearing
and after tonight,
it's been ripped off and it's not coming back?
But I think, Jeff,
that at the end of the day, we have to separate
emotions and game.
Easy to do?
Very difficult to do.
All right, it is
time to vote. Tim, you're up.
I'm so scared and so nerding out at the same time.
BEN No vote.
We'll see how it goes. All right.
"...is when there are six players in the game."
I'll go tally the votes.
If anybody has an advantage or an idol
and you want to play it, now would be the time to do so.
Okay, I'll read the votes.
First vote:
Ben.
Jem. One vote Ben, one vote Jem.
Ben. That's two votes Ben.
Jem. We're tied. Two votes Ben, two votes Jem.
Jem. That's three votes Jem, two votes Ben.
Fifth person voted out of Survivor 46:
Jem. Need to bring me your torch.
Jem, the tribe has spoken.
Time for you to go.
Grab your torches. Head back to camp.
Good night.

"...and the game is about to change."
Merge! Merge! Merge! Merge! Merge!
Next time on Survivor...
There's cracks all around this island.
Oh, my goodness.
Baby, it's about to get messy.
The dumbest move. With an idol in my pocket. Ugh.
Honestly, I did not expect this.
This was a total blindside tonight.
But it was really fun for me.
I love that I replanted a Beware Advantage
and got them digging for three days.
So, I mean, it serves them right, they voted me out.
