[thunder rumbling]
HAI: I wish that Rocks was here to make fire.
[Omar laughs]
HAI: We got split up at today's challenge
into two teams, but our Tribal
went exactly the way that I wanted it to again,
so I am extremely happy
that I got my main target out, which was Rocksroy.
Yeah.
Please have sun tomorrow. Please, please, please.
But I knew my biggest obstacle
in getting the Rocksroy vote executed
was with getting Mike's blessing.
Yeah.
It's all right. We all voted for him.
He can't just get mad at you.
However,
thankfully, Mike being a great ally, listened to me.
So I'm so happy that Mike let me be the driver
for this one vote.
Mike, I know how hard that was for you, so thank you.
MIKE: I had no plans on voting Rocksroy out.
I gave him my word, and my word is my bond.
But Hai was so definitive that everybody wanted Rocksroy out
because of his abrasiveness,
so, I voted Rocksroy. It was unanimous.
But I was extremely upset with myself
that I was letting Hai play my game.
Listen.
-OMAR: Um... -You got to be honest with me.
I-I was... I didn't know it was coming.
I don't like if you felt, um,
-pressure to do that. -Well...
OMAR: Mike says,
"I just want to know, are you okay
with how everything transpired?"
And I'm like, "Hmm. Funny you say that, Mr. Mikey boy.
"I am fine with the way it transpired,
"'cause that's what I wanted,
but I do want you to be a little bit leery of Mr. Hai."
-Yeah. -You know, I...
But you're a good dude, and don't worry about that. But...
-It's really bothering me. -But-but what really bothers me
-is that you're bothered by how it went down. -Yeah.
OMAR: Mikey no likey.
That lets me know that maybe he's starting to not like how
Hai is running things.
Yeah.
So, over the next few days,
my plan is going to be to bring Mike closer to me
and sever his relationship with Hai, and
Hai has given me enough ammunition to do that.
-Hello. -Hey. -Hey.
What's up, guys? Don't mind if I come in?
-Yeah, come on, dude. -Tell me news.
Who's here?
Good job, buddy.
DREA: Tribal-- it was like a very emotional thing
that has just happened, and I ended up playing my idol,
and Maryanne played her idol.
But I'm still onSurvivor, and I have my Knowledge as Power,
I have my extra vote, so,
as long as I still have a leg in the game,
I'm gonna play it as hard as I can.
OMAR: Yeah.
-And I was like, "Why?" -He's so...
"Why would you do that?
Because if Drea plays her idol, then Maryanne's out."
I'm, "But we can't lose Maryanne."
-You need to a backup plan. -He so doesn't understand [bleep].
No, and he, like, wouldn't listen to me.
It's like it was his plan or no plan.
Jonathan was willing to put Maryanne on the line.
He's not great at strategy.
I'm slowly not able to rely on him
as much as I thought I was in the beginning.
And if we seem like a pair, and he's poor at strategy,
it looks like I'm in on that poor strategy, which I'm not.
So, not
my favorite alliance member to have anymore at this point.
LINDSAY: So traditionally, when two idols are played,
at least one is gonna come back in,
and I think today's kind of a good day to look
because everyone's cold and miserable,
and like, "Oh, I'm looking for firewood. Blah-de-blah."
It would be awesome to have an idol.
That just helps me stay a little bit further
in the game if I can.
Can't rely on winning everything.
I haven't won anything yet.
So, I'm trying to just look at places
that seem obvious,
like in roots and seeing if I can see anything
in little crevices of trees.
And... I found basically nothing.
I hope I find it at some point before somebody else does.
MARYANNE: Oh, my gosh.
-We're having a fire-making competition. -Great.
What are you looking for, Hai? I'll find it for you.
MARYANNE: I'll see if I can get firewood.
-Like, you know, the-the... the water well. -Yeah.
MARYANNE: We're all looking for dry firewood.
And so, I'm looking at the trees,
looking for branches to pick off.
Here we go. This is good.
And I see this tree, like, right at the corner.
And I'm like, "Oh, my goodness."
Oh, my gosh. No, no, no, no, no, no, no.
You did not just... No, no, no, no.
[gasps]
It's a freaking immunity idol.
Yes.
I just found my second immunity idol, baby!
No. I was just trying to... Oh, my gosh.
And do you see? There is no stipulation,
no secret code, no bunny rabbits or mailboxes.
Oh, my goodness. [gasps]
So this puts me in such a great position. Because I have
an extra vote, I now have this idol...
When playing my idol
at the previous Tribal, I was so frustrated
'cause I knew that I was safe.
Being able to find an idol literally the next day shows me
that the way that I'm playing this game is both right
in the strategic sense, and also in the moral sense.
Come on in.
Day 18.
Oh, man.
We're loving Survivor 42.
[thunder rumbling]
All right, how we doing?
Day 18. I know it's not easy, but
are you feeling that you're nearing the end,
that you can do this?
Playing the game, Jeff. We're playing the game.
It's been a rough night,
but we're playing Survivor, so it's all good.
Shall we get to today's reward challenge?
-Yeah. -PROBST: All right.
Well, you have had some challenges this season
that have pushed you to your limits.
Today is not one of those days.
Today's fun.
Yay!
PROBST: All you have to do today is maneuver
a sandbag through a series of obstacles
and land it on a target.
First to finish wins the reward. Want to know
-what you're playing for? -Yeah. -Yeah.
-Hot pizza. -Oh, my gosh.
PROBST: And cold beer, and you will be warm
and protected from the rain 'cause
you're going to the sanctuary...
-Oh. -OMAR: Oh. -PROBST: ...where you will have
blankets and pillows 'cause
-you're spending the night. -OMAR: Oh, my gosh.
-DREA: Oh, my God. -PROBST: Your first shot
at a truly decent night's sleep as you head
through these last eight days of Survivor 42.
-Worth playing for? -Yes. -OMAR: Yes.
PROBST: All right, we're gonna draw for spots.
We'll get started.
All right, here we go.
Hot pizza, cold beer at the sanctuary.
Day 18, Survivor 42.
The storm is coming. Survivors ready.
[groaning]
Go!
First, you got to get to this first over-under obstacle.
It's Jonathan and Lindsay. Get up and over.
-[Jonathan grunts] -Then go down.
Then come back up.
Here comes Hai, here comes Drea.
Jonathan in the early lead. Got to untie your sandbags now.
It's a bunch of little pesky knots.
-Maryanne's over. Omar's over. -[grunting]
-[thunder rumbling] -Keep digging, Romeo.
Let's go, Mike.
Fighting through it right now.
♪
Jonathan is through first.
One of the most miserable days we've had out here.
You want the sanctuary tonight.
Pillows and blankets, nice and warm.
Jonathan is first
over the balance beam. Got to get to the platform.
You can start tossing sandbags.
-[thunder rumbling] -Hai is on the balance beam.
Lindsay now on the balance beam.
Lindsay's across the beam.
Hai is across the beam.
It's now Jonathan tossing his sandbag, and we've got
three people on the sandbags.
Everybody else working.
Drea's across. You can start tossing sandbags.

Hai on and off.
Lindsay just misses.
Somebody's gonna stick this, and it's going to be over quickly.
-Oh! -On and off for Jonathan.
Lots of people very close. You got to get it to stick.

-[screaming] -Lindsay drops it!
-[screaming] -Lindsay wins reward.
-[grunting] -Wow.
-Out of nowhere. -Oh, my God.
PROBST: Lindsay, come on over.
[whooping]
-Hey. Yeah, Lin! -Well done. -Thanks.
PROBST: All right, so tonight,
boat's going to pick you up from camp,
take you to the sanctuary.
Hot pizza, cold beer, blankets,
pillows, shelter from the rain, and you will sleep there.
Choose one person to join you. And before you choose,
walk me through. Look at everybody right now.
-Everybody wants it. -[thunderclap]
How do you make this kind of a decision?
LINDSAY: I mean, I had to think about the people
who haven't gotten a reward yet before.
And Omar's been with me since day one,
and he hasn't gotten one reward, so I have to take Omar.
-Yeah! -Oh, thank you, Lindsay.
Yeah, bring one more.
Come on over.
PROBST: Didn't hesitate.
-Mike, you look surprised. -He only had a PB and J.
And I've been talking about splitting a pizza
with this man since I met him.
Thank you so much.
PROBST: Okay, all right, here's what's going to happen.
Lindsay, Omar, Mike, tonight,
boat's going to pick you up, bring you to the sanctuary.
Maryanne, Romeo, Drea,
Hai, Jonathan,
got nothing for you. Everybody,
grab your stuff, head back to camp.
Thank you.
LINDSAY: This is just an awesome, badass reward
that I won, and
couldn't have come at a better timing
'cause the weather couldn't have been more miserable.
And I got to pick two people that I really want
to discuss strategy with and get close with, so it was
like a win-win.
MARYANNE: When you say you want to playSurvivor,
you're like, "Man, I want to feel that feeling when
you get close to the end and it starts to get hard."
But then you get to that place. Like, we're at day 18.
The rain is miserable. Literally, like,
I'm shivering so much that, like,
it hurts to walk because I just kept on tensing
my leg muscles. Like, that's the type of pain that we're in.
ROMEO: This doesn't translate when you're watching at home.
Like, "Oh,
it's just a little bit of rain." Well, you try
sitting in wet clothes for 24 hours, starving, missing home.
That wind that comes when you're wet, and it hits you like
a thousand knives.
I would kill for a warm bed tonight.
LINDSAY: Yeah.
ROMEO: But Lindsay,
Mike and Omar get to go on that reward
and sleep in a nice, warm bed with pizza and beer.
And here we are, just dying.
HAI: We had to fix the shelter.
We were all wet and cold, but being out here
has taken me back to my roots.
I didn't have an easy childhood, and as a result,
I've seen what it's like to have nothing.
HAI: I've seen what it's like to be hungry and to be poor.
So, for me, I know how much worse things can be.
HAI: My family immigrated here when I was three years old
as refugees from Vietnam.
Watching my parents sacrifice everything that they have
to give me a better life inspires me,
and I'll never forget
where I started.
[thunder cracks]
And I think being out here,
a lot of people forget there's a finite ending for us in sight.
This misery is temporary.
We're so close to the finish line.
That's what gets me through another day.
But if you want to...
Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm.
HAI: I see Lindsay fragmenting from Jonathan.
I had quite a little,
nice, quiet conversation with her at the shelter
when everyone was sitting around,
and she seems to be signaling
to me that she wants Jonathan out next.
And guess what, Lindsay.
I'm open.
[thunder rumbling]
-OMAR: I'm so excited. -MIKE: Look at this.
-Oh, my God. Pizza. -[Omar gasps]
-Yeah. -Oh, margherita. Can I try some of that?
Margherita. Yes.
Can I please have a slice of that?
I'm a New York,
Hoboken, Jersey kid. We live on pizza.
I knew that I was gonna eat
until pizza was coming out of my ears.
Oh, my God, this pizza's so good.
WOMAN: Hi, babe, I just want you to know I love you,
-I miss you a lot. -What's going on?
I wish I could be there in person with you in Fiji, but...
-Who is this? -I love you so much.
LINDSAY: And I start hearing, like, voices
and mumbling, and I'm like,
"What's going on?" And then, all of a sudden, I look up.
Oh, my God, that's me! It's me and my dog!
Oh, my God, these are our loved ones,
and we all just lost it.
-Oh, look. That's me and my daughter. -It's you!
-That's my daughter! -Oh, my goodness!
-LINDSAY: Oh, my God!
That's my dad.
My God, that was me and my daughter. That was Chelsea.
-[Lindsay shrieks] -MIKE: Lindsay!
Look at you. Who's that?
-Tell me who that is! -LINDSAY: Oh, my God!
-That's my parents. -Look at you. Graduation.
-LINDSAY: Yeah. High school graduation. -MIKE: Look how cute
you were.
-Hey, Linds. -Lindsay!
-[shrieks] -OMAR: Oh, my gosh.
We are so proud of you.
Congratulations for making it
this far in the game. I wish
I could be there in person with you,
but just know that we are all there with you in spirit,
and we know you're going to do your best.
-We love you so much. -We love you so much, and we miss you.
Oh, my God. They know I made it this far.
They know you made it this far.
-This is so priceless. -LINDSAY: This is amazing!
This is more than... this is more than the pizza
for me, guys. I don't know.
-This is more than the pizza. -Oh, my God.
OMAR: It wasn't just food
for the stomach we needed.
We really needed food
for the soul, and you don't know
how much you need it
until you see it.
Oh, that's my girlfriend Sarah.
We were in Hawaii.
-MIKE: Oh. She ishot. -LINDSAY: Ah!
-Oh, my God. -SARAH: Hi, Omie. It's me
and Hashi. We just want to say
we miss you, and we love you,
and you're probably exhausted at this point.
But I just wanted to tell you I'm so, so proud of you
for even making it onto the show.
Keep playing hard, and we'll see you soon.
-Oh! -Oh, my goodness.
So sweet!
Here we go, Mike.
That's me. Ches-Ches-Chelsea.
-Is that your Chelsea? -Look at your hair.
Chelsea, yeah, Chelsea's baptism.
-Me and Zach. Look at Zach. -OMAR: Oh! -LINDSAY: Oh!
That's Staci. That's Staci, yeah.
-OMAR: Oh, there's Staci. -LINDSAY: That's Staci?!
Hi, babe. I wish I could be there rooting you on,
um, but unfortunately I can't.
I just want you to know I love you,
I miss you a lot, and I want you
to keep doing what you're doing right now
and what you're best at, and that's winning.
I love you.
-LINDSAY: Oh! -Oh, my God. Thank you, guys.
-LINDSAY: You're so welcome. -Thanks.
Thank you.
There's nothing that means more to me than my family.
There's nothing that means more to me.
Nothing.
-You gave me a great gift. -Ah.
-Thank you. -It's my pleasure.
-I'm so happy to do that. -MIKE: It was beautiful and, honestly,
it's-it's one of the greatest gifts
that was ever given to me by anybody,
and Lindsay did that for me.
[thunderclaps]
OMAR: I'm so thankful for this night with you two.
Honestly, this is just so special.
MIKE: I'm gonna be talking about this
till they put me in the ground.
Can I... can I share
-with you something? -MIKE: Mm-hmm.
I feel like the way we got off on the game
was mostly related to friendship.
-Yes. -And I felt like, when it came
to the game, we weren't really allowed to talk to each other.
-Yeah. -Like, there was a middle person.
-Hai. I hate it. Yeah. -And always talking for us.
Can I tell you what his plan is according to him to me?
-Go ahead. -Hai came to me and said,
"Mike will do anything I say in this game.
-He is my puppet at this game." -[Lindsay gasps]
-Whoa. -And so, that's why I was ever
afraid to talk bad about him with you. Because I was like,
-"He says he has you in his back pocket." -MIKE: No. Listen.
I'm tired of him playing... trying to play my game.
-Yup. -I'm done. He's a liar.
OMAR: Hai has never told me that Mike was a puppet, but
hearing those words just supercharged Mike,
and I'm like, "Mike, I would never treat you that way."
[laughs]
You know how I know you're telling the truth?
'Cause what you're saying
makes a lot of sense to me.
-Yeah. -And I believe it.
OMAR: It worked because
Mike looked me dead in the eye, and he said,
"Your story makes sense."
And I was like, "I know it makes sense.
You tell a good lie, not a stupid lie."
You know what? He thinks I'm stupid.
I'm not stupid. I'm just dumb like a fox with him.
-Yeah. -I listen to him.
You know what I know about this game?
Anybody that raises a hand, says they want
to run the show gets their neck sliced,
and I'm letting him slice his own neck, which he's doing.
Hai thinks
I'm totally with him, I'm his puppet,
I'll do whatever he wants.
This is totally gameplay, but he played me,
so this is personal for me now, too.
I want to work with you, so I want to tell you
that me, Hai and Drea have an amulet
-that we can use together. -OMAR: Oh, really?
-There's a three-parter? -Yeah. -MIKE: Oh, my God.
And we get an extra vote
if we collectively agree to use it.
-Interesting. -But if there's only two of us left,
it is now a Steal a Vote.
And then if there's only one of us left,
-it's a hidden immunity idol, so they... -Oh, my God.
There's three left?
LINDSAY: My amulet is stronger
if Hai is gone,
but I'm conflicted because Jonathan is
destroying my game because he feels
like he has a lot of power, and I don't like
being told what to do like that. So it's the matter of
who wins immunity tomorrow.
-MIKE: Hai, he needs to go. -He needs to go.
And he can't see it coming.

Come on in.

Thank you.

HAI: Right now, I have the numbers
to kind of sway the game in the direction that I want to.

HAI: So for me, Jonathan being vulnerable tonight might be
my only opportunity to get him out of the game.
-Jonathan... -We might not get another chance.
Right. Exactly. We might not get another chance
-until the end of the game. -Okay.
I'm happy you're on board with that,
-'cause I think that's a solid idea. -I am.
I am, but listen, it's gonna bother me, but I don't have....
Mike...
Are you sure, man? Okay.
-I swear to you. -Okay.
MIKE: Hai's great idea is, target Jonathan.
I'm gonna be Hai's puppet for the next day.
I'll say, "Yes, yes, Hai.
I'm your puppet. Whatever you want."
I want to make sure you're comfortable.
Yeah, yeah, okay.
-I think this might be our only opportunity. -I know. I know.
And meanwhile, his head's in the guillotine,
ready to be lopped off, and rightfully so.
-Yes. -MIKE: I'm not anybody's puppet.
I'm not playing anybody else's game.
I'm playing my game.
I haven't lied to anybody here yet.
Hai lied to me. He lied to me about Rocks.
-He made me look bad to Rocks. -Yeah.
You know how pissed off I was? You're next.
He's playing us. He's telling everybody
I'm his puppet, I'll do whatever he says.
We're cutting the snake off at its head tonight.
Does he have an idol?
-Absolutely not. -Okay.
Hai's plan is to vote me out,
and I am very nervous.
Out of everybody here,
I would figure that they would want
to kick me out first one and get rid of me.
-We're cutting the head off the snake. -Yeah.
But Mike came and said, "We need to get rid of Hai."
And if I can get him out first,
what a move.
I just see myself on...
Yeah.
DREA: After the last Tribal, I realized that...
...I need to stop playing the game with so much heart.
I'm definitely going against Hai's alliance,
but if I get out Hai tonight,
my amulet becomes a Steal a Vote with Lindsay.
[laughter]
So that's why he has to go.
MARYANNE: I'm feeling as if, like,
tonight is the night
we make our move.
-I feel... -Who do you want to get?
-Hai. -Mm-hmm.
I agree.
Originally, I was wanting Jonathan out,
but seems like pretty much everybody
is on board to get Hai out, except Hai.
-Get out. -Yeah, so...
-Yeah. -And Jonathan's completely on board.
So right now I don't want to rock the boat.
I'm gonna stick with the plan and call it a day.
♪
All right, I'll be right back.
Hey.
HAI: Every Tribal I go to,
I've made sure I know who the target is,
and I can make the target feel comfortable enough
that they do not take a Shot in the Dark.
So I'm able to use my fake idol play.
If I have to use it tonight, I will.
Because I'm saying...
My strategy is tell him
that I will play my hidden immunity idol for him,
and he will stay.
It's all B.S., but he bought it.
Really?
Uh...
-Really? -So he's lying to me.
The worst lie I've ever heard.
-I know. -But he is going home tonight.
And it's clear that it's not gonna be difficult
to get Hai out at this point. Everybody wants him out.
So, I mean, everything's working out perfectly.
Um, but it's, like, almost too perfect,
'cause then you start thinking, like,
"Should I just work with Hai now 'cause nobody trusts him?"
-I love you, bud. -Yeah.
So does that mean, in essence, that I should take Hai
and raise him from his execution tonight?
Because he's loyal to me.
-The plan is still Jonathan, obviously. -Yeah, yeah.
-He's a big one, dude. -Yes, he is.
He, like, wins or almost wins every challenge.
OMAR: Is the other option here to just
take Jonathan out of the picture and vote Hai out next time?
Jonathan, my number one boy from the Taku tribe,
he is still a liability in this game.
If we don't take Jonathan out tonight,
will he just win every other immunity to the end?
Mm-hmm.
Romeo trusts me the most out of everybody here,
and Maryanne's on my side, too.
I think Jonathan or Hai.
Yes.
OMAR: And Lindsay is already primed
to not trust Jonathan.
If I had to choose right now, I'd pick Jonathan.
-I feel like he's one immunity away from slipping through. -I agree.
Once again, I'm in the middle,
and it doesn't take very much to switch a vote right now.
The switch to Jonathan,
I actually think it might be the better play here.
So the question is, is it the time?
And that's what you have to ask yourself
every time you go to Tribal Council.
You know, we're getting to the end.
There's only four more votes before day 26, like...
You have to pick the right person at the right time,
otherwise you'll be the next person out.
♪
PROBST: All right, Lindsay, let's start with you.
Back-to-back individual wins.
Reward and immunity.
With the reward, was there any fallout,
given you could only choose two people
and you brought Mike and Omar?
I don't think that there was a fallout with anybody.
I tried to be as diplomatic as possible
and kind of went with the people who didn't have a reward yet.
PROBST: Mike, what was the experience
like for you in terms of strategy?
Because, in one way, this could help me,
because I've got two people I can talk to.
On the other side, there's five people back in camp
that might be plotting against us.
Well, I can't speak to what happened at camp,
but at the reward, honestly, no deep strategy.
I got to be honest, we were just elated to be warm.
You know, as a firefighter,
we've been out on sub-degree nights
where we fought fires and had water drenched all over us.
And we're in icicles.
But I knew I was going back to the firehouse.
I knew I'd get warm.
Here, there is no end of the tunnel.
And that's the major difference.
-There's no place to go. -Yeah.
And yet, Lindsay, there is no shortage of people
who want to play this game and have this experience.
Yeah, it's sick. We're all sick.
[laughter]
This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity,
like, an amazing life experience,
but included in that is the worst days of your life.
You get really low lows and then crazy highs.
It's like everyone loves that rush
and is willing to kind of take those risks
because you're just addicted.
All right, so we know it's difficult,
but, Hai, is it at all possible
that in the 42nd season of Survivor,
three people would spend an entire night together
and never talk about strategy?
It's possible, but do I believe it?
Not necessarily.
This is an evolving game.
Alliances are fluid.
The perfect analogy is,
we're all long-distance runners with blindfolds on.
-[chuckles] -You don't know who's in the front.
And that person could very well trip up.
And you're just waiting for that opportunity to overtake them.
PROBST: So, Omar, are there times when
just keeping your same pace is the right move?
I mean, there are times where you have to coast.
It's very rare that you can go from day one to day 26
and lead the whole way through
and not get your head chopped off.
But in this game, every decision you make is a choice.
I mean, I'm a vet and I deal with patients.
And sometimes you don't know.
Do you take 'em to surgery or do you manage them medically?
And the problem is, when you're making a decision like that,
in that situation is life and death,
or out here is life and death in the game,
you don't know the outcome until you've made your decision.
So you have to just go with it and hope it was the right one
and not look back.
PROBST: Mike, the other question is,
who do you take out and when do you take them out?
Because there are different reasons
you might take a player out tonight instead of next Tribal.
MIKE: Absolutely. It's all about
what your gut feeling is at the time,
and I think the players here are so good.
They're all setting their own pace, and
they're getting ready for their gut to tell 'em
when the right time is to make that move.
It could be now, it could be four days from now.
It could have been three days ago.
We really don't know, but we're gonna find out.
PROBST: So, Maryanne, is there
just a constant dialogue in your head?
"If it goes this way tonight, then I get to seven.
"At seven, then my move might be this,
"unless I smell something happening tonight.
But I got to get to six and then five."
Is that what it sounds like inside?
The way that I see it, it's kind of like SurvivorJenga, right?
Where it's like, "Okay, I need to take a piece out,
"but that piece is going to come back into play.
"But what happens if I take a bottom piece too early?
"Will everything fall? Do I have to then take that piece later?
"Or do I want to take that piece
"because I think someone else wants that piece
"so I've stopped them from having that piece
-so I can have that piece?" -PROBST: Jonathan,
-did you track that? -Yes.
So, Lindsay, what is tonight's vote about?
I feel like tonight's vote
is about making an even playing field,
trying to have everyone feel comfortable
that they have a fair shot to get to the end.
Wow, Jonathan. Lindsay said, "To even the playing field."
Right. Yeah, it's something...
Uh, yeah, what she said was,
somebody is too powerful in some way,
and, uh, she wants to even the playing field,
so, um,
wrapping my head around what that means... right now.
That's a great, ambiguous answer.
It also depends on your perspective of whatever facet
that they're the strongest in.
We have challenge beasts, we have really
intelligent, strategic players.
We have players that are incredibly social,
so it depends on what you value and want in an ally,
and what you're scared of the most in an adversary.
So there are eight different perspectives here.
-♪ -PROBST: All right,
it is time to vote. Lindsay, you're up.

now would be the time to do so.
Okay, I'll read the votes.

That's how I wanted to go out. Oh, my God. Brilliant,

Hai, the tribe has spoken.
Bye, guys.

HAI: Wow.
Grab your torches, head back to camp. Good night.

Boom, boom, boom, like dominoes.
Everybody's on board.
Screw them.
You can take either one out.
There is a twist to today's challenge,
-and it's a dangerous one. -DREA: I cannot. Ah!
I just got blindsided.
I honestly thought I was going
to run away to the end with the whole thing,
and I did not even suspect it.
It was stunning, and I feel proud.
I don't have any regrets.
I came here to play the game, and I played it very well
until the game outplayed me.
