LINDSAY: That was wild.
-MIKE: You can breathe. -Oh, my God.
-I am so happy I'm here with all of you. -MARYANNE: Yeah.
I need to give everybody a hug.
Oh.
Nobody wanted to see you go.
Oh, my God, I'm so, so happy.
-Wow. How wild was that? -MIKE: Hey, Lindsay...
That was the best Tribal Council ever. Ever, ever, ever.
I couldn't believe that I actually picked the right box.
That was awesome.
And then Drea pulls out
her advantage, which says
that she can ask anybody one question--
if they have an advantage, or they have an idol.
And they have to be honest if they do,
and if they do, they have to give it to her.
Mike, do you have an idol?
No.
I can verify Mike is telling the truth.
Oh, my gosh!
Omar, you're the only person I told the secret to, and I want
-everyone else to know that. -[Hai gasps]
[laughs]
It was a such a great play.
So, she didn't get to use it.
The vote went to Drea. She's out.
Now my amulet is now a hidden immunity idol,
which I have to use at six.
So I plan on using that tomorrow.
So, win, win, win.
Great day for me.
Dude, crazy lows, crazy highs.
-This game's insane. -MARYANNE: Mm-hmm.
-LINDSAY: Drea took it awesome. -She took it really well.
OMAR: Tonight went
perfectly.
Like, I wanted to unleash my evil laugh, like...
[laughs]
Because my plan just worked out so well.
OMAR: My relationship with Mike right now
is right where I want it, because he sees me
as his savior in the game.
Like, I saved his life
and saved his idol and gave it back to him.
OMAR: So my goal in the next day is to pull
Jonathan and Mike apart,
make them distrust each other, and know
that each other has to go next
so that when the time comes, I can pick a side.
And, you know, it'll be a clean swipe--
Mike or Jonathan out.
-No, I didn't see them. -Oh, Omie.
[Omar laughs softly]
JONATHAN: Hey.
MIKE: We made a great move, it worked out, but,
at the end of the day, people want to get to the end,
and they're gonna look for their best possible angle.
And I know that Omar's
afraid of me at the final because I'm too likable.
I wouldn't want to take me to the end at this point,
so I get it. I would try and cut me loose, too.
So I have to do what comes natural.
I have to cut Omar loose.
So...
So, it would be like...
-The merge started, yeah. -Okay?
Mm-hmm.
MIKE: Right now, I need to prove to Maryanne that Omar
is not her pawn, and he's working against her.
I'm setting the game plan in motion.
I just got to nourish it, and in this game,
you got to not go too fast,
not be down their throat, let them
make their own decision, but you give 'em a little nudge.
MARYANNE: Mike is right.
At Tribal Council, what the jury saw was Omar just go
from a caterpillar to a butterfly.
This was someone who was sitting in the background and, like,
boom, he's the reason why Drea wa-was gone.
And I'm like, "There is no way that I can beat him."
So I'm thinking,
being like, "Okay, there always comes a time in this game
"when you have people that you trust,
"but the people that you trust, if you know they can beat you,
you have to do something."
Okay.
Oh.
MARYANNE: I'm thinking right now
about, like, backstabbing one of my alliance, and I'm, like,
this is honestly a hard decision 'cause I know Omar
and I love Omar and I trust Omar,
and Omar's one of the people who's grounded me
these past 22 days.
But if I don't make this move,
I'm not going to win, and it's terrifying.
Yeah.
[Mike sighs]
Because...
MARYANNE: Mm-hmm.
LINDSAY: My plan now is, I want Jonathan gone.
I can't have him here long enough
that he has another chance to win another immunity.
His ability to win challenges is a huge threat.
I don't want him to keep winning challenges.
He's my main nemesis in that.
Like, if he's gone, I will win them.
Mm-hmm.
"But I can't promise you yet."
She was very honest with me.
So she...
What was her word?
MIKE: No, no. Come over.
We're talking about... what's going on.
You know, we're just talking
-about with the vote last night. -Oh, yeah.
JONATHAN: At this point,
I don't trust Lindsay and Omar anymore.
Omar thinks that I don't see it,
Lindsay thinks that I don't see it, but
they're working together very closely.
I know, right?
JONATHAN: I'm not letting anyone see
that I'm upset about what happened last night--
that Omar used a move that
made him go way, way higher in the jury vote,
and I'm not letting Lindsay see that I'm not happy
she's back, you know, because the truth is,
they both have to go.
If I'm going to win this game, I need to get them out.
-Final six. -MIKE: Yeah. -JONATHAN: Yeah.
JONATHAN: Taku four has made it to the final six,
and that's as far as they're going to go.
We're not going to go any further together. It's...
it's time to break up.
Come on in.
All right, ready to get to today's reward challenge?
[all assent]
PROBST: For today's challenge,
you're going to spin to unspool a coil of rope.
You'll then make your way through a series of obstacles
and collect a key.
You'll use that key to unlock puzzle pieces
and use the pieces to solve a block puzzle.
First to finish
wins reward. Want to know what you're playing for?
-[all assent] -Today, you're in charge.
You will have a choice. You can choose sustenance--
grilled chicken and veggies--
or you can choose decadence--
chocolate cake and cookies,
which might be the sugar that you crave.
-Ooh. -You'll be in charge. Worth playing for?
-Absolutely. -Yes. -PROBST: All right.
We'll draw for spots. We'll get started.
-Let's do it, final six! -[whooping] -Yes.
Here we go. For reward.
Survivors ready.
Go!
-You're spinning to unspool. -Aah! [laughing]
-The faster you go, the quicker you get there. -Oh!
-[yells] -But the dizzier. Maryanne takes the first fall.
Still smiling.
Jonathan in the lead.
-And it's Lindsay and Mike. -Aah! I can't see anything!
-Oh, my gosh. -Maryanne is off the course.
[Maryanne exclaims]
Jonathan across the net.
There goes Lindsay. There goes Maryanne.
Aah!
PROBST: Lindsay tearing up those knees.
Man! Now you got to get on the beam.
If you fall off, you got to start again.
Maryanne's dizzy. Jonathan's dizzy. He's coming back.
Here comes Romeo. Maryanne is now trying to unspin
to reverse her dizziness.
Never seen anything like it.
Jonathan untying his key.
[gasps]
Lindsay trying to stay on the beam
by using the rope to balance.
Mike drops. He's got to go back.
Jonathan first across. He's got the key.
Start unlocking those pieces.
Lindsay's good.
And Lindsay is across. Start working on your puzzle.
Omar working on his key,
-Mike working on his key. -MARYANNE: Ooh.
Omar has his key, and you're across. You're good.
You're good, Romeo.
Mike's got a rhythm now. Just get across. You're good.
You're good. Maryanne can start working on her puzzle.
You're building a compass rose
piece by piece, and you're studying as you go,
making sure it's right.
If you're right, it's just a matter of time
before disappointment smacks you in the face.
Sometimes it's fun to just listen
to the sounds of the challenge.
[soft muttering]
This is hard.
PROBST: Maryanne continues to add pieces.
She was dead last to the puzzle,
and now she's down to a few pieces left if she's right.
What am I doing wrong? There's something wrong.
PROBST: Now Omar with momentum.
It's now Omar in the lead,
Maryanne trying to catch Omar.
[gasps] Oh, my gosh.
PROBST: Omar with another piece.
♪
No, that's wrong.
-Jeff? -PROBST: Omar thinks he has it.
-How confident are you? -100%?
-Omar wins! -LINDSAY: Nice!
-MIKE: Nice job, Omar. -Great job! -PROBST: Nice job!
-Oh, good job. -MIKE: I had it, too.
I was right... I finally got to the right track.
LINDSAY: Nice.
Great job. I'm proud of you.
Good job.
Omar, come on over.
-Whew. [laughs] -Whew. Good job, Omar.
-OMAR: Thank you. -Nice job, Omie.
I never thought I'd be next to you.
-Really? -No.
-PROBST: You didn't think so? -You surprise yourself out here.
-Yeah. -You don't know what you're
capable of until you have to do it.
-So... -What surprised you about today?
Which part of this challenge?
I thought I was going to blow through the puzzle,
but it was actually really, really hard.
And my niece is afraid to try anything new.
And I was terrified of all the challenges, and I hope
she sees this, and it inspires her
earlier in life to take those risks.
-'Cause she's only eight. -What's your...?
-What's your niece's name? -Hannah.
Okay, so, Hannah, you're eight, and there are millions
of other eight, nine, ten-year-olds just like you.
Hear that message because that is what Survivoris about.
-It is about pushing yourself to your personal limit... -Yeah.
and then seeing if you got one more step.
That's what you've been doing for 22 days. Today,
you did it. You're in charge.
-You have a couple of decisions to make. -Okay.
You're going to decide, do you want sustenance--
which is grilled chicken and veggies--
or if you want chocolate cake and cookies.
-Here's the additional twist. -Yeah.
The invitation with grilled chicken and veggies
includes two players.
-Okay. -The invitation
with chocolate cake and cookies includes three.
-Oh, man. -So now you have a very big dilemma.
OMAR: You know, we're all really out here
and really, really deprived, so I think
I'm going to give some more people...
And I'm really sorry for the two I don't choose.
All right, so you're going to take
chocolate cake and cookies, and you're going to bring
three people with you, which means
two will not participate in this.
There's one person here who's eaten nothing,
so I can't not pick Romeo.
-MIKE: Good job, Romeo. -MARYANNE: Yeah!
-PROBST: Come on over, Romeo. -MIKE: Yeah, Romeo.
The second person I'm gonna pick is Maryanne.
She's been struggling, and I think she could use a meal.
-PROBST: Come on over, Maryanne. -Thank you.
PROBST: One spot left, so either Lindsay,
Mike or Jonathan is going to join you,
and the other two will not.
For me, at this point, honestly,
it's really about who I think
would benefit from it the most, and I want the other two
to eat all of our rice today.
So, Mike, come and eat some chocolate cake.
-[applause] -LINDSAY: Nice job, Mike. -Thank.. thank you.
-Thank you, Omar. -OMAR: You're welcome.
PROBST: All right, everybody heading back to camp.
You four are gonna have a nice, decadent afternoon.
You two, got nothing for you.
-Thank you, Mr. Jeff. -Thanks, Jeff. -OMAR: Thank you.
-Nice job. -Thank you.
To win aSurvivor challenge?
It felt like I was at the top of the world.
But the caveat is which reward I picked.
You know, it changes the number of people you bring with you.
So, for me, I thought it would go a longer way
towards building relationships,
giving more people some sustenance, and I hope
there's no backlash to the decision I made.
-OMAR: Wow. -ROMEO: Wow.
MIKE: Omar, you take the first, whatever you want, pal.
-OMAR: Holy cow. -MARYANNE: Uh, cheers.
-ROMEO: Wait. Cheers. -MIKE: Cheers. -OMAR: Cheers.
-Cheers. Thank you, Omar. -You're welcome.
-Oh, my God! -Oh, my God!
OMAR: Today's reward challenge was exhilarating because
I just won a Survivorchallenge, which I never thought
I would ever do in my life.
ROMEO: Come on.
MARYANNE: Mm-hmm.
Romeo, I'm very happy for you.
-MARYANNE: Mm-hmm. -Thank you for bringing me back
-from the dead. -[laughter]
-OMAR: Well, you-you deserve it. -Mm-hmm.
Everybody here deserves it. I just feel bad for them.
I know how... gassed Jonathan is,
and Lindsay chose me for the other one.
But I was like "I'm just trying to be fair."
At this point, Mike and Jonathan are
two very open targets that I want out of the game.
So leaving Jonathan behind at camp was
maybe to deprive him a little bit,
make him less energetic for tomorrow's challenge
'cause I need to beat him.
No, I'm not bitter at all. I understand the reason.
He's going to try to get them comfortable.
-Mm-hmm. -And then blindside Mike is the plan.
That's what I'm thinking.
I didn't get any confirmation on that,
but I assume that would be the plan.
JONATHAN: When Lindsay and I are discussing the vote over rice,
we are obviously trying to fool each other.
And right now Mike and I are very tight, but
I don't think Lindsay really wants to vote for Mike. No.
I think she would much rather vote me out
because I'm a bigger threat when it comes to challenges.
So I'm just trying to get her comfortable,
and she's trying to get me comfortable.
Hopefully, I'm doing a better job than she's doing
because I know that she's up to something.
-I'm gonna lay down. -Okay.
-Take it easy. -Okay.
Jonathan thinks that Mike is going home.
That's great because
people actually want Jonathan out first.
The only thing that's going to be a real challenge is, like,
if Jonathan wins immunity, Mike is abs...
is absolutely the target.
Hi!
So I need him to feel comfortable
that it's Jonathan going home.
[insects buzzing]
-Am I safe? -It has to be Jonathan,
is basically what needs to happen.
Okay. Am I safe?
-I'm asking you straight up. -I'm ask...
I'm telling you, if it's...
If Jonathan doesn't win, you are safe.
MIKE: Am I feeling safe? Absolutely not.
I have to go with my gut. My gut says
Omar is now gunning for me.
-You are the next biggest threat after Jonathan. -Okay.
That-that's how some people feel. Me and Omar don't.
MIKE: And Lindsay-- she's playing the game with-with Omar.
I can't be 100%
positive, but I can't see how they're not.
I'll let you know if you need to use your idol,
-uh, tomorrow night. -Okay.
MIKE: In talking with Lindsay, it clicked in my head.
Lindsay has an idol. When Drea went out,
her-her amulet became a full idol.
You... How long can you-you... you can use...?
Okay.
So at this point, I have to obviously protect myself.
So I think my best move now is to tell Jonathan and Maryanne
that Lindsay has an idol and
make sure they're on my side.
Uh-uh.
Mm-hmm.
MIKE: Anybody has to win this one except for Lindsay
or Omar, of course, because
what if she says, "Let me keep my alliance strong with Omar.
"I'll give him my idol,
and now we're both safe"? That would be
a very, very big damper on my plans.
-And so, if they take me out first, guess who's next. -Me.
-If they take you out first, guess who's next. -You.
-'Cause... -Exactly.
Mm-hmm.
Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm.
Mm-hmm.
This vote is extremely huge for me.
Maryanne has two votes,
so we need to work together.
And I'm thinking, "I'll make a deal with you.
"If you save my life
"and help me get to five, I have the idol
that'll help me and you get to four."
The oldest and the youngest.
-The bookends. -The bookends.
MARYANNE: So, Mike tells me that he wants
to play his idol for me at the final five.
But I already have an idol.
And I'm here like, "Are you kidding me?"
This means that I'm double safe, so
I'm on for this plan for Omar.
Like, we have to get him out as soon as we can,
and that means at the next vote.
And even if he wins immunity, we still have the votes.
Right. Who...? Yeah, who do we go for then?
-This we have to talk about. -Um...
Uh, Jonathan's on our side.
Then Lindsay? 'Cause, look...
No, Lindsay has immunity.
Lindsay has immunity?
-For final six? -Yes. It's only good till final six.
No.
MARYANNE: So, Mike tells me that Lindsay has some sort
of amulet, which is a hidden immunity idol.
So that means that, like, I'm out of the loop with her.
And, like, at this point, my heart dropped
because I thought we were close.
But basically I'm just like a sacrificial lamb to her.
So, I just have to keep on holding into that hope
that my move that I've been thinking about won't be ruined
and that I'll be able to show people
that I'm a real contender in this game,
not just a goat to be herded.
♪
Come on in.
Still smiling.
Always.
PROBST: Day 23 of the best,
worst experience of your life.
Yeah, it's true.
PROBST: And you're still smiling.
All right, shall we get to today's immunity challenge?
-[all assent] -First things first, Jonathan.
I got to take it back.
I'm coming back.
All right.
Once again, immunity is back up for grabs.
For today's challenge,
you're gonna race over a series of obstacles,
then across a bridge containing puzzle steps.
You'll use those steps to build a staircase.
You'll then maneuver a bag of balls to the top
of a very tall tower. Once there,
you'll use those balls to finish a table maze.
First player to land both their balls...
wins immunity, guaranteed a spot in the final five.
-[Jonathan sighs] -Losers, Tribal Council,
where, after 23 days, your dream
of winning this show will come to an end,
and the only thing you will have to do with the million dollars
is deciding who gets it.
Big, big stakes.
-Shall we do it? All right. -Yeah! -Absolutely.
-We'll draw for spots. We'll get started. -[whooping]
All right, here we go.
For a guaranteed spot in the final five.
Survivors ready. Go!
First you're going over these obstacles.
[grunting]
Doesn't matter how. Just get over 'em.
Jonathan in the lead, Lindsay on his tail.
There goes Mike.
Now you're untying the steps
you need to build your staircase.
They're in batches of four.
Jonathan's out first with his first four planks.
Everybody's getting their planks together now.
We're tight early on.
Jonathan in a bit of an early lead.
Here comes Romeo. Look at that!
Lindsay. Here comes Mike. Now we got Omar.
-Let's go, Maryanne. -[grunting]
They will go in one of the first four spots on your staircase.
The question is, which spots do they go in?
This is where time is gained or lost.
And look at that. Lindsay now in the lead.
She's getting her next batch of pieces.
There goes Maryanne. Omar's in on it.
Jonathan falling behind now. He lost the lead.
There goes Mike.
Lindsay has her next four. She's heading back.
Omar has his next four. He's heading back.
Jonathan has his untied.
The next four pieces go in the next four steps.
Jonathan is back. Here comes Mike.
First you have to get the pieces.
Then you have to solve the puzzle.
He heads out. Lindsay now heads out.
It's Omar and Lindsay right now side by side.
Jonathan's done. He's heading back.
Mike's good.
Omar, in the lead, continues.
He's back first. Lindsay right behind.
Jonathan trying to get in on it.
It's day 23 of Survivor 42.
-Six players left. -[Lindsay groans]
You got to step up, or you go home.
Omar first to the top.
Lindsay right behind.
Now you have to maneuver the balls
you need for the table maze
to get to the top of the tower.
Jonathan is stuck. Something is not right. What is it?
You got to find the way it fits.
Mike is through. He's now working on his table maze balls.

Maryanne on her last four pieces.
Jonathan now up here. Here comes Mike.
Here comes Omar.
We got four people on the table maze.
This is where the challenge will be won or lost, right here.
Everybody dead even right now. You've got to land
the first ball, the closest ball, first.
Lindsay very close.
But around the corner now.
Lindsay drops.
She's got to start again. Mike drops.
-[Maryanne groaning] -Keep working, Maryanne.
Jonathan has won two individual immunities.
Lindsay has won one.
Omar and Mike have yet to win individual immunity.

Jonathan very close

Almost same spot where their balls are, on opposite sides.
Both maneuvering the same corner at the same time.
Lindsay drops. She's got to go back. Jonathan makes it.
Jonathan has one small section left.
The most difficult section of the maze.

Jonathan can sense it.
Lindsay on the edge, saves it.
Jonathan right on her tail.

-And it's in! Lindsay does it! -[screams] Oh, yeah!
Individual immunity.
-[exhales] -PROBST: Safe tonight at Tribal Council
-and guaranteed a spot in the final five. -Nice job, man.
PROBST: Wow, what a challenge.
That was close.
Lindsay, come on over.
-Good job, Linds. -[applause]
For the second time this season, individual immunity is yours.
You are safe tonight, cannot be voted out,
which means you have a spot in the final five.
As for the rest of you, a different story.
Somebody's dream of winning Survivor 42
will be over.
Tribal Council tonight.
Somebody gonna head over to the jury.
It is also the last time the Shot in the Dark can be used--
tonight's Tribal Council.
Grab your stuff, head back to camp.
-See you tonight at Tribal. Congrats. -Thank you.
Thank you, Jeff.
I didn't want Lindsay to win
because I know that Lindsay has an idol
that's only good up till six.
That's tonight.
If she plays the idol, Omar is now safe.
So I'm thinking plan B got to come into effect.
♪
MARYANNE: Congrats!
MIKE: Great job. Another great job by Lindsay.
-Thank you. -MIKE: Great job.
Thanks. That was a fun one.
I feel freaking awesome. Came down to me and Jonathan
at the end once again.
Jonathan, how close were you to landing the second one?
-JONATHAN: Very close. -Aw.
But close in this game means nothing.
-Bummer. -Good job, Lindsay.
LINDSAY: Jonathan is this giant Goliath of a human.
And then you have me, half his size and a female,
and I freaking won it.
I won that challenge.
Like, that's awesome. Like, that's so cool.
MIKE: Great job.
MARYANNE: Oh, gosh.
JONATHAN: Lindsay winning was the number one thing
I did not want to happen.
LINDSAY: You want to taste some?
It really just tastes like a cucumber.
JONATHAN: Because now she can use
her idol to help Omar.
And if Omar doesn't go home,
then Mike and I are the biggest targets.
So Mike and I are gonna vote Romeo.
Just coconut is the only thing that's been in here.
LINDSAY: Jonathan thinks that Mike is going home,
but all of us have been thinking that if Jonathan loses,
he is leaving tonight.
So that is the plan that I hope to just sink in.
-Jonathan needs to go. -Okay.
-Jonathan's a huge liability to stay. -Exactly.
Like, the fact that he didn't win today
-was, like... -We have to take that opport...
-LINDSAY: We have to. -Okay, yeah. So...
LINDSAY: I don't see why
anyone would veer off from this plan to vote Jonathan out.
Yes.
Like, that has to... That's, like, a no-brainer.
ROMEO: Jonathan has been a target since early on.
I've been on the chopping block every Tribal Council.
So it only makes sense to get rid of him,
because then the backup person would be who?
Most likely me.
...are 100% on Jonathan.
-So you need to be on Jonathan, too. -Okay. Okay.
We're heading into Tribal Council in a few hours,
and right now the plan is set.
Jonathan's gonna go home, and if there's a backup vote,
you know, have that be Mike.
It's definitely not me tonight?
No, definitely not you.
It's Mike going after Jonathan, Jonathan going after Mike.
And if that's the case, our plan is foolproof.
Mm-hmm.
This could be perfect.
Everybody is on board to get rid of Jonathan tonight.
Yeah.
LINDSAY: Tonight, if anything is crazy,
I do have my amulet, which is a hidden immunity idol.
But I'd rather not play it,
because once somebody plays an idol,
it usually goes right back out for somebody to find.
And we don't want to worry about an idol
being back in circulation on the island.
-Yeah, okay. -LINDSAY: Jonathan will be out as planned,
and then me and Omar have a nice
cruising out to final four and make it to the end.
[exhales sharply]
MARYANNE: Flame.
Right now, I'm feeling that Omar can win this whole thing.
And that's not a feeling that I want to have.
JONATHAN: Flame on.
MARYANNE: I feel dejected,
but I want to show that I'm here
to play my game, and I'm here to win.
I have my extra vote.
I can go with Omar and Lindsay's plan
and use my extra vote
the way they want me to, or I can go with my plan
and use my extra vote the way I want to.
So there's a chance that this plan to take out Omar
-can still happen. -Listen to me.
Okay.
This is our time to take a risk, but a big move.
-Okay. Okay. -This is what you're going to do, okay?
You're going to tell Jonathan, "Vote Omar."
Then...
-I know for a fact Jonathan is voting Romeo with me. -Mm-hmm.
-Okay. -And if you throw two votes Romeo, and I vote Romeo,
there's nothing anybody can do.
Omar's next one. He has no, he has no protection.
-It's me, you... -But what if he wins tomorrow?
I want to vote for Omar.
I could use my idol tonight, but
it's not gonna happen.
I need my idol tomorrow to make sure that I get to four.
It's my life. My life's hanging on the balance.
I'm putting my life in your hands. Please.
MARYANNE: I can't promise you right now.
I still need to think about it. That's the thing.
MIKE: Lindsay wins the immunity challenge.
She doesn't need her immunity idol.
I'm thinking Lindsay gives Omar her immunity idol.
It would make them both safe.
So the easy thing is, put four votes on Romeo.
Simple, except Maryanne
wants to playSurvivor 18.0, instead of 2.0.
And having my fate in her hands
is scary.
-But you're not voting for me, right? -I'm not.
Okay.
-I'm not. -Okay.
Like, I gave you my word, and I'm keeping my word.
-Okay. -MARYANNE: Mike is just trying to play it safe,
'cause people can feel the final five.
And when people can feel it, and they don't have
that necklace on their neck, they get paranoid.
But I have my extra vote,
and my two votes give me a lot of power tonight.
Nothing from this conversation can leak.
-Nothing. -I swear.
-We have six votes. -Yes.
[gasps]
-Oh, my God. -Used... And it has to be used this Tribal.
So that means that us four are five votes.
This is what we need to do.
Me, you, Jonathan, Mike
vote Omar, because Omar will win.
I think I have Romeo on board, but I still have
a lot of work to do.
-This is simple. -Mm-hmm.
You two do Romeo.
Romeo and I do Omar.
-That is three. -You do your two?
Yeah, I will do two on Omar.
-Okay, do we trust Romeo to vote Omar? -Okay.
I do. I've talked to him. I literally trust him.
JONATHAN: I'm not confident in Romeo at all.
And he's been very back and forth
throughout the whole game.
And if he votes me, then I could go home.
So I think it would be a dumb move
not to vote out Romeo.
MIKE: So here's my question.
Is it best we just go along with whatever they say
to all of us,
and we silently throw our votes on Romeo?
Then we're all guaranteed to be here tomorrow,
and then we get Omar tomorrow night.
-And then, and then... no, no, listen to me. -Oh, my God.
MARYANNE: Jonathan and Mike are underestimating me.
I'm trying to play a good move to take out Omar,
-and they're just not getting it. -Look.
If we all vote for Romeo, Romeo is gone,
but then our way to the end is more difficult.
This is a risk that we have to take.
I'm going guns blazing to go and make my move on Omar,
but I am getting frustrated
because I got to make moves happen for me to get to the end.
And the only wrench in my plan,
if I don't get guys who are literally, like,
a foot taller than me to go and listen to me,
then my whole plan is just gonna go up in smoke.

PROBST: All right.
Let's get into it. Wow.
I can feel intensity tonight.
You were all looking at me like this.
[laughter]
Omar, is that just being eager, or was it a crazy day?
Or are you anticipating the rain? What is it?
I think it's a little bit of the fact
that last Tribal Council was outrageous.
And then we're also dreading the rain that's coming
and wondering, is this Tribal gonna be outrageous?
PROBST: Well, I will say, just since you've sat down,
the rain has increased in intensity
-by about fourfold, right, Mike? You can feel it. -MIKE: Oh.
-Of course. -PROBST: It's coming.
It matches the intensity of the place.
Quite frankly, I'm at the point now, this is past calculus.
There's nowhere to hide,
and there's only very few people you can talk to.
PROBST: Romeo, you get back to camp.
Lindsay has her second individual immunity win.
You know she's not going home.
What was the feeling today?
I think the dynamic is changing a little bit.
I think people are starting to think about
who they might want to sit next to in the final three,
as opposed to who they want to vote off next.
So it's different thinking.
It's a different feel, and I think people are thinking
more long-term than short-term now.
PROBST: Lindsay, do you concur with that?
That maybe the shift is happening?
Absolutely. He's-- was spot-on.
Uh, like, at this point,
you're kind of figuring out what are my best odds
to feel the most comfortable in the final three.
So then, Omar, what does that do in terms of who is the threat?
Who do I need to get out?
OMAR: I don't know if I agree with either of them,
to be honest.
I think people have been playing for the long-term game
since the beginning.
Some of the people there,
you know, they may have been trustworthy allies,
but people didn't want to go to the end with them.
And that's why they're there.
So I think that that trend will continue.
It's just that there's fewer people
and less room to hide now.
PROBST: Maryanne, where do you sit on that?
Is there a shift happening?
MARYANNE: I feel as if it depends
on where your position was in the tribe.
If you're someone who's on the bottom,
you might be thinking, "No, I have to think self-preservation,
self-preservation." And when you finally feel
a little bit more wiggle room, that's when you're like,
"Okay, now I can think about the endgame."
Lindsay, how confident are you about tonight's vote?
I-I feel confident in tonight's vote
with the discussions that I've had.
So it's really more so if they feel equally
as confident that I was being honest
with what my discussion was.
Mike, that's a very honest answer
to actually say, "I'm good.
"I don't know if the other people will trust me,
and if they don't, it might not go my way."
I-I live my life on trust.
I trust who I put my, uh, fate in their hands
and their fate in my hands.
I trust in who I believe in.
PROBST: Omar, what'd you read into Lindsay's answer?
I mean, I think that answer is...
just sums up the game of Survivor.
You never know if what you say to other people
is gonna be taken with truth or with a falsity.
If I'm telling you something, and you don't believe me,
then you could change everything up.
So I'm Survivorconfident in what's gonna happen tonight,
but every time you're Survivor confident, you could be wrong.
So I'm open to that, too.
PROBST: So, Jonathan, if you're right,
and the vote goes the way you want it to go,
what impact will it have when you guys get back to camp?
JONATHAN: Like, if it works out,
nobody lies, and everything is all hunky-dory,
then that'll be the first Tribal where that's ever happened.
It's not that easy.
Something is happening where somebody's being lied to.
There is gonna be people that keep their trust,
and there are gonna be people that lie.
Lindsay, do you agree with that?
I mean, unless it's a clean sweep,
then, yeah, somebody else will definitely be upset.
And usually, I don't think there's been a clean sweep yet.
MARYANNE: Mm-mm.
Not with the Shot in the Dark.
Why?
'Cause, like, you don't know who's gonna play it.
This is the last time we can play it.
And then, also, there's idols in this game, too.
So then, after, if you're trying to do a clean sweep, and then
that person who you're doing a clean sweep for has an idol,
then you're up the river, too, 'cause that person chooses.
You can never do a clean sweep anymore.
And, Omar, the tricky part about that is,
when there's only six people voting anyway,
if you start splitting votes, it gets very scary.
Yeah, and, I mean, there's definitely the possibility
of a hidden immunity idol coming out,
so we have to be really careful if we don't have one.
I don't have one,
so I'm extra nervous when you call out for
"Does anyone have an advantage to play?"
Because I could be on the receiving end of a blindside.
All right, it is time to vote.
Lindsay, you're up.

JONATHAN: It's gonna be a battle royale.
LINDSAY: I ran around like a banshee.
I made a fake idol. See?
...won't be here tomorrow.
This challenge is on.
I'm fighting to the bitter end.
Maryanne got me.
She got me good.
And I knew playing with her was like playing with fire,
and I should have listened to my gut.
But I wasSurvivor confident,
and that is the worst thing you can be.
But I still had a blast,
and this was the best experience of my life.
