Previously on Survivor...
"There is a hidden immunity idol in this box.
"...return to this location
to receive further instructions."
-...if you get one person you trust,
you get one person you trust.
I'm not sure who... Maria for you.
Oh, dear.
I lost my vote...
Not great.
...because I didn't know the order of the logos.
You got this, Q!
PROBST: For the win.
There it is! Yanu wins
their first immunity challenge of the season,
sending Siga to Tribal Council for the first time.
CHARLIE: Maria and I are at that crossroads.
CHARLIE: We can go with the women or
we could go with the men.
Fifth person voted out of Survivor 46:
Jem.
The tribe has spoken.
JEM: This is a total blindside tonight.
With an idol in my pocket.
MORIAH: In a word, that sucked.
Unbeknownst to me, everyone was out for Jem.
And I wrote down Ben,
someone who's been, honestly,
pretty kind to me this whole game, so,
it just sucks to be on the wrong side
of not only a vote, but the first vote.
And on top of that, a blindside
by people you think you can trust.
Don't sweat it, dawg.
Feel like an idiot, but at least I'm a living idiot, so...
CHARLIE: You're definitely not an idiot, Mo.
MORIAH: It's, like,
I would rather be a living fool-
which I kind of am right now-
than, you know, a dead know-it-all.
And, Mo, I just want to say, you know,
I totally think you're valuable
in this tribe.
-TIM: Nobody wrote your name.
-BEN: -You know what I'm saying?
Like, that's... that's valuable.
MORIAH: I'm appreciative that I'm here,
and I really am Siga strong.
I'm feeling conflicted inside.
I mean, they lied to me.
I was out of this vote, but at the same time,
I did not see my name a single time.
So that tells me
maybe there's still room for me to grow in this game.
Otherwise, I got a Shot in the Dark
burning a hole in my pocket.
KENZIE: It took Yanu
a really long time to get our stuff together,
but once we got it, we got it.
Just, like, reigniting the fire this morning,
and it caught in three seconds-
like, that's how we're doing.
We finally have a...
that spark that's gonna keep us going.
-Oh, my God. -You want to open it?
-Oh, my God. -TIFFANY: This is, like, a real note.
Let's see.
-Told you!
I thought-I thought we had...
This lovely piece of paper says,
"Drop your Buff.
We're taking you to your new home."
And if you watch Survivor, you know what that means.
Merge, baby.
-You were good to us while it lasted. -Kinda.
No, he wasn't.
TIFFANY: To make it with the people
that I actually wanted to make it with-
my best two pals- oh, my God.
It's, like, the best feeling ever.
Giddyup, baby.
Let's go play.
TIFFANY: And, of course, we cannot forget our
biggest ally,
Adelisha, who I keep in my bra.
She is not going anywhere,
and I feel like she's really gonna
help us out when we get to this new beach.
Oh, my God!
Merge! Merge! Merge! Merge!
TIM: We're headed to a new camp.
We don't know what's in store.
TIM: And right now, we are Siga strong.
Five. But in my opinion,
Mo's still on the bottom, so,
if it comes to a point where we have to eat our own,
it would be Mo.
We're going in stronger than we were last night.
MARIA: That's right.
I am elated.
In theory, there's a pretty likely chance
I am the bottom of this five.
But
when the game changes,
so do your relationships.
And if I don't got
four friends rooting for me here,
I might have four enemies,
and that's not gonna get me far in this game.
You know,
go with the devil you know over the devil you don't.
HUNTER: "Drop your Buffs.
Your fellow castaways will be joining you soon."
I knew it!
Oh, my... God.
-Drop your Buffs! -Oh, my God!
HUNTER: We got tree mail today, and when we open it,
I see that it's the "Drop your Buffs."
Like, it's happening now, which
is exciting, but for me,
it starts a timer.
And so, I run like I'm doing
a little airplane down the beach
so that my tribe buys
that Hunter's just excited about this "Drop your Buffs thing."
HUNTER: But in reality, a few days ago,
I found the Beware Advantage.
It says you have to wait until either you lose
or you drop your Buffs to get a clue
to find a key to open a box
to get the idol.
Then I have to run back to the place where I found
this Beware Advantage to begin with,
dig it up and follow whatever instructions it has for me
before the new Tribemates show up.
And so, this unknown timer
just automatically starts counting down.
Okay. It's got to be some of the steps.
Maybe the steps in front of camp.
The thing that gave it away-
"This step won't lead you astray."
And I almost immediately know where it is.
Back at camp at the step.
SODA: I can't even process this right now.
A bunch of new people.
HUNTER: So I go back to camp,
and everyone is just sitting in the shelter, so,
what am I supposed to do?
SODA: You vibe.
-HUNTER: Catch my breath. -SODA: You catch your breath.
-You can do you. Catch your breath. -VENUS: Yeah.
HUNTER: And so I'm like, "Whatever.
I'm gonna go sit on the steps."
VENUS: What's his mindset right now?
'Cause I can't read him.
-SODA: Who? -VENUS: Hunter.
SODA: You got to ask him. I don't know.
I just asked. You don't have to shut me out
each time I ask you a question.
SODA: That's your feelings. They're valid.
I don't know.
I know. I didn't say you did know.
HUNTER: So I'm digging in these stairs,
but I can't find anything, and it's...
It's pressure from all over.
I've got people behind me
probably gonna come down the steps.
I'm looking for a boat to come on the horizon.
I mean, realistically, we used to talk all the time
in the beginning, and now you barely talk to me.
And that's just a real... that's, like...
I'm not blind, so, like, that's just reality.
SODA: I feel like we have not so much to talk about
because Nami keeps winning, and...
But we need to talk to each other.
Like, it doesn't have to be strategy all the time.
HUNTER: If those boats show up,
the time to find the idol is done.
So, there is definitely a ticking time bomb.
I don't just have to find this thing.
I'm not looking for the idol.
I'm looking for the key that gets me to my box
that opens it and then I get the idol.
And so, there's so much to do and so little time
and so many pressures, and you're just like,
"Oh, my goodness.
I've got to get moving with this."
Hey, Hunter.
Come on, Liz.
And so, I finally get the key out,
and then here comes Liz,
almost instantly, to talk to me.
I think I left a sling out by the boat...
'cause I was excited.
I'll go get it for you.
I think I left my other one out there, too.
I don't think she sees anything, and so,
I hightail it to where I've hidden this thing.
Dude, they're making a beeline, bro.
Nice, nice, nice, nice, nice, nice, nice.
Oh, my God.
I finally open the box.
There it is- a full-blown idol sitting in this box
for me to use that nobody...
knows about.
That was way too stressful.
This is also really important because
I lost my vote on the last journey.
And so, in the end,
this could be the only thing that saves me.
The monster is coming.
I look out into the water,
then what do I see but two boats coming at me at full speed.
I said...
Here they come.
LIZ: Land ho!
Oh... my goodness.
TEVIN: What I wanted to do
was make people feel comfortable when they get here.
Human to human, I see you. We all here.
You got a dream, I got a dream.
Hello, fellow human. Let's play the game.
-Hi, Charlie.
-Nice to meet you. -Thank you. Nice to meet you, too, man.
Oh, it's so good to see you.
KENZIE: We're pulling up on Nami beach.
I am just feeling so accomplished.
There's five on Siga, five on Nami,
but there's three of us right in the middle. Three of us Yanu.
And ideally, it's just like, "Which way are we gonna go?"
Yanu really got it handed to 'em
in the beginning of this game, so,
we've got some experience in our belt
that the other tribes don't have.
I know what it's like to see Jeff snuff a torch.
Nami doesn't know that at all, and Siga's only done it once.
So, I'm like a cast iron skillet
that's been, like, oiled up and seasoned.
And they're like store-bought, nonstick right now.
Like, that's where we're at.
Hi everybody!
Giddyap baby ,'cause we're about to play, baby.
TIM: I just want to say one thing to everybody out here.
I don't know what's about to happen,
but congratulations.
TIM: It's hard. Just major congrats.
TIM: We're excited, but
we don't have any Buffs. There's no merge.
We're in thisSurvivor limbo.
And so, we're kind of wondering
what does happen next.
TIM: But I know that my tribe is priority, so,
we don't want any cracks evident.
We want to seem like we're five strong
because we don't want anybody to be exposed 'cause
if we said that Moriah voted for Ben,
they could think she's possibly on the outs of Siga,
and probably use her as an alliance.
And right now, we got to protect Siga's numbers.
-VENUS: I mean, you know, same thing as Siga. -Winning.
When you keep winning, like, no one's scrambling,
no one's drawing lines.
But I-I just want to work with you guys.
It's a breath of fresh air to have new people on this camp.
I am so excited to, like, have a new conversation
and to not be met with silence and blank stares
from Tevin and Soda.
Like, I am so over just their attitude towards me.
Tevin is the type of person where if
you were next to him in final three,
I'm sorry, you're not winning.
I have a good feeling that I can actually connect
with new people and gain some more traction and, like,
some more power in this game. I feel like
I've had no power on Nami, I've had no say.
Like, I've been on the bottom and King Tevin's been here,
controlling all his puppets, and now I get to be the king.
Q: My take on the Nami group is
there's cracks all around this island.
They have a beautiful home, but they ain't filled the cracks.
And that is perfect because
I've already kind of laid the foundation
for the plus-one alliance.
TEVIN: And I said, "That is a beautiful idea."
I love it. I love it.
-Beautiful idea. -Chef kiss.
Q: Hunter, Tim and myself
made an alliance at the journey,
and we all got the opportunity to pull in one person
who we all must protect.
I pulled in Tiff.
Hunter pulled in Tevin.
Tim pulled in Maria.
So today, the journey six
is what I want to try to make sure is intact.
-I'm more so...
I'm just unsure about Tim
because he has so many options over there,
'cause they do seem like they're all getting along.
Q: But Hunter and I- we still are a little
wary about Tim and Maria
on whether or not they're on board.
We have to make sure that the six is solid.
Q: So, my next talk needs to be Maria
because I wanted to figure out, has Tim done his part?
Did Tim talk to you after the journey?
Tim talked to me after the journey.
I mean, we-we kind of all do everything together.
I don't know if you've heard that.
-Yeah, he told us. Um... -We...
We sit down and talk about everything,
and everyone knows everything, and...
Now, Tim and I and Hunter- we was talking,
and Tim was telling us you're his guy.
-Oh, really? -Well, when I say "guy,"
-like, that's the... that... -I'm his person?
-Yeah, that's the person. -MARIA: Evidently, Tim told Q
on their journey that Tim and I were really close.
And I was like, "Huh? Like, what about Ben?
Like, I thought Ben was your number one."
Like, I thought it was very strange.
You know, Charlie is my number one,
and Tim and I have a connection,
but by no means would I have put him top on my list.
Like, he might have been number three.
You know, everybody has their person
-in, like, different ways. -Q: Out of the gate,
Maria didn't seem too filled in
on the six,
so I wanted to figure out what Tim actually told her
from our journey.
If Tim did not fill Maria in on the six,
I know now Tim is not to be trusted.
And the other thing...
Q: I-I didn't...
TIM: No, I just think...
She a connection type person, so anything, like...
She gonna feel you out even if I tell her or not,
you know, so I just like...
I like that y'all was already talking.
I want to work with the group of six.
I think they're strong, I think
they have a good likelihood to go far in the merge.
I've also seen people commit too early
in past seasons of Survivor, so,
I'm exploring, I'm observing.
No solid game plans,
but I'm not saying nothing too soon.
I'll secure it before nightfall.
I'll tell her the loop.
Q: I'm so confused as to why Tim didn't tell Maria.
Maybe he's trying to keep this Siga thing intact, but
it got me worried now. It got me worried.
-MORIAH: What are your takes? -My takes are that...
You know, you're not letting much...
VENUS: You know, it's a new stage in the game,
and I'm so excited to start making big moves.
It's been 12 days of just camping,
and I didn't come here to camp.
I came here to play the game, so,
I need to see where Siga stands and where those cracks lie.
TIM: You know, everybody agrees to that before a merge.
It's like, "We're gonna be Siga..."
-TIM: Right. -Yeah, I mean, we're...
We're entering, like, a different st...
-Yeah. -Numbers will give...
VENUS: These tribal lines-
they're gonna have to dissolve.
So, I said,
"I believe in a name for a name, and
"if you're willing to give me Siga, I'm willing
to give you one of my Nami members."
I feel like all of us might want to say something,
but no one wants to talk first.
Oh, I'm always gonna listen
and watch the group
before I can, like, make a decision
-on how I feel about anything.
Like, I've been trying here 'cause it's important,
but, like, to be honest, it's overwhelming for me.
Me too. Okay.
We're, like, the exact same person.
They didn't really give me an answer, but Moriah-
I have a connection with her. I feel like I can trust her.
I feel like she's a sweet girl,
and I think she'll come around to it.
So, now that I've planted seeds, I want to see what comes up.
I have power in this game, too, and if you don't see that now,
you will see it very soon.
CHARLIE: These rays are nice, coming through the clouds.
This is a trippy view.
MORIAH: Clearly, the crack in Nami
is Venus, and it sounds like
there might be wiggle room to get a Nami out.
But at the same time,
Venus is clearly a strong social player.
She is aggressive with her strategy, she is smart,
she is thinking.
So she's not someone I necessarily want to work with.
She's crafty.
-What about you?
Venus approached Tim and me with strategy talk.
MORIAH: She just said, "Yeah, like,
"I'd be interested in a name for a name."
Like, Tim and I tell her the cracks on Siga
and she tells us the cracks on Nami.
Venus is playing a really hard game.
Everyone can see that.
She's wicked smart, as we say in Boston.
She's got a good mind for the game,
and she could be a threat to me.
I did a quick check-in with Mo.
Sounds like Venus was hitting you guys pretty hard.
-TIM: She came with it.
I'm not worried about it, though.
I'm not entertaining that
'cause Venus is giving it too hard.
She said "name for name." You know what I'm saying? She...
And you guys didn't give one yet?
No, I said, "I get it. I totally understand.
You know, I'll think about it."
We're clearly playing the game now,
but I'm not worried.
I'm in a better position than I thought I'd be
because I have both Siga and
the, uh, plus-one alliance.
But Q is asking Maria,
"Hey, have you talked to Tim?"
So, I got to talk to her one-on-one about
the plus-one alliance.
like, looking out...
That's what Q put out first,
and... Hunter and I confirmed it.
Like, yeah, these are the people we trust.
-And we agreed that
we'll look out for each other's name.
So at the end of the day,
us six are potentially voting the same way.
I didn't tell Maria immediately because
I wanted Maria to make her thoughts
or her own feelings
about the group of six.
And at the end of the day,
she agreed it was a strong six.
I'm down for it. You know, like...
-You're down for it? -Yeah, I'm down...
I don't want to put that on you 'cause I know we didn't...
No. Like, I was surprised 'cause you and I didn't talk about it.
-I was like, "Oh, okay."
-You know, like...
If there's a group of six,
I'm down for it because
it's nice to have options.
But the question is does it work for me?
Because
I'm not here to play Tim's game.
I'm here to play my game.
I'll take them anywhere. The pool in the neighborhood.
That's what I go for. I can eat a whole bag of those things.
Q: Listening to the Siga players now,
it's really not much about strategy
or who they want to work with.
They're playing a more
cards-to-your-chest type of game.
So, I want to make sure I get out there,
have the right conversations
so I can start to piece together the puzzle.
I-I bet it was crazy when y'all got back on the beach.
Everybody skedaddled.
It really was.
I mean, there's that moment of, like, "Do we open a coconut?
Like, anyone hungry?"
-It was unanimous, huh?
Other than my own tribe, no one knows
that I'm potentially the crack in Siga
because I was the one left out at the last Siga vote.
But right now, the general consensus is
that we need to stay united, so,
I'm putting on this face that we unanimously voted out Jem.
Did she know she was going home or...
She didn't use her Shot in the Dark,
so we just assumed, I guess not.
Whose name did she write down?
Um, she wrote down... I think she wrote down Ben.
-That's crazy.
MORIAH: Out of all the conversations I've had,
I felt like Q is almost, like,
hitting me the hardest.
And that tells me he's looking for these cracks
in a way that other people
might not be, so,
there's a little bit of trepidation there.
Survivor is, like, so complicated.
It's one of those, like...
I don't think there's a whiteboard big enough
-in the world to, like, draw everything. -Correct.
Me? I started, like, with Aubry.
I think that she came out here
and was just, like, authentically herself.
-That's it. -And, like,
Aubry was really the person that...
It... got me hooked.
Like, she's my, like, OG, for like, watching,
-like, the 30s and everything.
Mo seems like a nice person,
but I'm scared of her.
Where's everybody else? At the beach?
At the beach, but I was, like...
-Is she?
Mo is just a Survivor fanatic
that can talk, talk, talk this game.
And for you to say Aubry is your favorite player-
that is dangerous, because Aubry
was setting up people left and right.
And if Mo thinks she's gonna set me up,
Mo can cancel Christmas.
It ain't happening.
Come on in.
-PROBST: Look at this.
You're gonna need everything you've got
in the tank today.
-Oh... -SODA: Crazy.
All right. Shall we get to it?
-First things first.
Got to take back the idols. Thank you, Hunter.
-TEVIN: Okay. -SODA: My God.
-Thanks, Kenzie. -Yeah. No problem.
-This is gonna be crazy. -[indistinct chatter]
Tribal immunity...
no more.
-TEVIN: Wow. -Really? What?
-Sorry. -Are you new?
No. I'm sorry. I thought we were gonna split,
and then it was gonna be... I-I know it's not a tribe.
Okay, whatever. Just do your thing.
-I'll do my thing. -Sorry.
So right now, you're in Survivor limbo.
You don't have a Buff.
Technically, you are not part of a tribe,
but for at least six of you, that's about to change.
Let's get into it. For today's challenge,
we're gonna randomly divide you into two groups of six.
On my go, one at a time,
you'll race under a muddy net
to a cart.
Once everybody's at the cart,
you'll push that cart through the field,
collecting very heavy sandbags along the way.
You'll then use those sandbags
to get you to the top of a tower.
Once everybody's up top, you'll collect a bag of keys,
slide down the other side.
You're not finished.
You will then work together to climb
a massive boulder.
When everyone's at the top, two players
at a time will use one crate of puzzle pieces
to solve one section
of a three-section puzzle.
So everybody's on the puzzle.
PROBST: First group to finish
earns their merge Buff, a merge meal...
...and immunity at tonight's Tribal Council.
-You'll go to Tribal.
You will cast a vote,
-but you can't be voted for.
Losing group, no Buff, no meal, no immunity.
-PROBST: Because there are 13,
one person will not run.
Whoever draws the gray rock will choose one group
and win or lose with them.
-Big enough stakes?
-Shall we draw for our groups?
Good luck, guys, everyone.
PROBST: All right, here we go.
Your fate is in your hands.
Your entire game
could change
based on a rock draw.
Does not rock.
MORIAH: Does not rock.
-PROBST: All right. -Mercy!
All right, everybody palms out,
flip 'em over and reveal.
All right, everybody palms out,
flip 'em over and reveal.
-If you have orange,
go to Orange.
If you have purple, go to Purple, and if you have gray,
-go in the middle, Tiff. -Oh, no way.
PROBST: Let's see what we got.
No way!
That's...
-No way!
-Well, there you go. -I want to cry right now. -Oh, my God.
PROBST: All right, so,
completely random draw.
-You couldn't be more lopsided.
-It's tough for them, huh? Yeah? -Too much.
-PROBST: Kenzie?
PROBST: What do you make of this?
Because you are on what would appear
to be the better side of the draw.
We don't know. We haven't run it.
Um, yeah, I think, uh, I'm gonna carry this whole team
-on my shoulders. -Right.
I got these boys ready to take it on, you know? Um,
I haven't had very much luck, and I do think it's a game.
Y'all have a fair shot.
-Fair. -KENZIE: But I'm feeling a little...
a little good right now.
All right, so let's go through our groups.
For Orange, we have
-Charlie. -Five, nine.
-Moriah. -Five, four.
-Soda. -Five, five.
-Maria. -Five, two.
-Venus. -Five, six.
-And Liz... -Five even!
taking on Ben, Q, Kenzie, Hunter, Tim and Tevin.
All right, Tiff, you have a big decision to make.
Which group are you gonna put your fate with?
It's really tough, Jeff. I don't know.
I think I'm gonna go with Purple.
-PROBST: All right, so Tiff has chosen Purple.
You will win or lose with them.
You'll have a spot at the end.
Everybody else, I'm gonna give you a minute to strategize,
and we'll get it on. Let's do this!
All right, here we go.
Survivors ready?
-Go, Charlie! Go, go, go! -PROBST: Charlie and Hunter
in the mud first.
Back into that mat.
Charlie through first. Go, Orange!
Here comes Soda. Hunter slowing down.
Go, Purple!
-It's gonna be Kenzie now for Purple. -TEVIN: You got it.
PROBST: Soda working quickly through the mud.
Get to that mat.
Go, Orange! It is Orange in the lead.
Being small helps right now.
Got to get to the mat. Go, Purple!
-Here comes Q for Purple. -TEVIN: Go ahead, Q.
PROBST: Let's go, Venus! Keep digging!
-Here you go. -PROBST: Go, Orange.
CHARLIE: Here we go.
PROBST: Gonna be Moriah now for Orange.
Q working through the mud. Moriah's tearing it up.
-Moriah's catching Q. -SODA: Let's go!
-Look at that. -SODA: Let's go, Maria!
PROBST: Moriah passes Q. Go, Orange!
-SODA: Let's go, Maria! -PROBST: Here comes Maria.
Go, Purple! There goes Ben.
Maria is also whipping through this.
-CHARLIE: Let's go, baby. -PROBST: Let's go, Orange!
Gonna be Liz, the last one for Orange.
-HUNTER: There you go, Ben! -PROBST: Go, Purple!
There goes Tevin.
Come on, Liz!
Liz is slowing down.
Tevin is picking up.
Liz taking a long time to get out.
-You're right here. -PROBST: Go, Purple!
You're good, Orange.
Back, back.
PROBST: Get that cart moving.
MORIAH: Forward.
-PROBST: Load those sandbags. -Stop.
-Everyone on the sandbags.
PROBST: You're good, Purple.
Start moving that cart!
-Let's go, let's go, let's go. -Got to get a little momentum.
-Pull back, pull back. -Pull back.
PROBST: Purple struggling
to get their cart moving.
All right, now, stop when it gets over, I don't want
to go too far, but I want to keep momentum.
PROBST: Orange back on the move, in the early lead.
Let's go, Purple!
VENUS: Keep going, keep going!
There you go, more sandbags.
Purple now on the move. They've got all their sandbags.
Make sure they're in the frame and you're building a stack.
Build it as you go.
-Q: Y'all ready? -KENZIE: Got it?
-HUNTER: Go. -PROBST: Purple has all their sandbags.
-TIM: Get behind it. -PROBST: Orange now falling behind.
It is now Purple in the lead.
They can move to that last section
-where you use as many sandbags -Let's go.
as you need to get to the top.
Orange, you got to keep moving.
SODA: We got this.
PROBST: Purple doing a nice job.
-Covered in mud. Makes it very slippery... -Push me up.
-to help each other.
PROBST: You've got extra sandbags,
as many as you need.
You got to get everybody to the top
before you can start untying your keys.
HUNTER: Come on. Come on, Tim.
-Got it.
PROBST: Venus is up quickly.
-TIM: Come on. You got it, Hunter?
PROBST: There goes Hunter. Charlie giving Maria a hand.
They've got two up. You're good, Purple.
Once they're untied, one at a time, you can come down.
MORIAH: I got you, Soda.
-CHARLIE: Step up into my hand. -PROBST: Here goes Soda.
VENUS: Go. You got this.
You got this. Go. You got this...
Go.
Here comes Kenzie.
-CHARLIE: You're up. You're up. You did it... -SODA: Thank you.
PROBST: Here comes Tim.
PROBST: Tim with a nice header into the sawdust.
-MORIAH: Help. -VENUS: Get to the top...
-TIM: Let's go. Let's go, Q. -PROBST: Here comes Q.
-HUNTER: Go, Q. Go, Q. -TIM: It's all right.
PROBST: Wow, look at.
-He runs half of it. -TIM: Good work.
PROBST: Orange has got everybody up. Let's keep moving, Orange.
Everybody's got to be up top.
HUNTER: Here, here, back up here.
You're good. Start on the boulder.
HUNTER: This side. Get on that side, Q. On that side, Q.
-Come on, you guys! -PROBST: You're good. Start untying.
The boulder, the toughest part of this challenge.
Purple making it look easy.
Kenzie scampers up with some help.
There goes Ben.
-Go, Soda, go, So. -PROBST: Here comes Soda.
-KENZIE: Let's go. -[grunting]
-KENZIE: You got it, Tim. -PROBST: Tim trying to get up.
PROBST: Go! Here goes Maria.
Q trying to get up now.
It's... I... I'm gonna need some help.
Moriah coming down. That's how you do it!
-Hold my foot. -You got to give me a little more.
-I can't get that high. -Move, move. I got him.
PROBST: Here comes Liz.
Q gonna try to help Hunter. He's muddy and slippery.
-TIM: There you go. There you go. -PROBST: Go!
-Here comes Venus. -Q: Let me go, let me go.
TIM: Mat, mat, mat, mat!
PROBST: Purple has everybody up.
Here comes Charlie. You're good.
Crate number one. Number one.
-MORIAH: Everyone's got you, girl. -MARIA: Soda, you got this.
You got this, baby.
Orange is still in this challenge.
The underdog's got a shot here.
CHARLIE: And lift and push.
-Push. -I can't pull.
-Push!
-PROBST: Soda's up first.
It's gonna be Tim and Tevin on the first section of the puzzle.
The bottom section, the easier part of this puzzle.
CHARLIE: Good work. Need a boost? You got it?
SODA: Moriah, take.
Look at that. Moriah's up.
-Soda pulls up Venus. -There you go.
PROBST: Here comes Charlie. This is where it gets really tricky.
Soda tries to hold on. It is hard when you're muddy.
You're good. Go to section two.
-BEN: Great job, guys. -Purple has first section done.
It's gonna be Kenzie and Ben now on the second section.
Orange has a human ladder built.
Everybody trying to help.
-MORIAH: You did it! -PROBST: Charlie's up!
TIM: Take all them out. Take all them out. Sit 'em on the table.
PROBST: Orange is in this.
SODA: Do the first section. Go. You're fast. Go.
HUNTER: Put yellow on the left side and blue on the right.
Come on. We got this.
-SODA: Let's go, guys. -PROBST: It's gonna be Maria
and Liz on the first section for Orange.
-They are in this. -TEVIN: Just lift that up...
PROBST: Day 13. You never know.
One of the most lopsided draws in Survivor history,
but you wouldn't know it looking at this challenge right now.
-Like this. -No. Flip it up.
PROBST: Ben and Kenzie gonna start feeling that pressure.
-Oh. I'm so sorry. -That's the other side. That's the other side.
PROBST: Liz and Maria feel the opportunity.
-PROBST: There's another piece for Orange.
-TIM: Bottom up.
PROBST: Ben and Kenzie taking their time. They've got a lead.
-BEN: Blue. -No, that's gonna be white.
PROBST: Trying to orient their pieces.
Orange down to their last piece.
-Got to get it in there and you're good.
-Go. -You're good. Two new people.
It's gonna be Soda and Moriah.
Only two pieces behind. Y'all, we got this.
PROBST: They're moving on to the second section.
-TIM: Why don't we work from the top down? -It's Ben and Kenzie
working together and feeling that pressure
of Soda and Moriah on their tail.
It is Soda and Moriah on the same section of the puzzle
with Ben and Kenzie.
Would anyone have predicted this
moments before we started this challenge?
No.
You can never predict what's gonna happen out here.
-TIM: There you go. -TEVIN: Yeah.
PROBST: This section is difficult.
That one up there's flipped over, too.
-PROBST: But right now, we look pretty even. -TEVIN: Yeah.
That one in your hand. Yes. Right there.
PROBST: Immunity on the line.
Ben with another piece for Purple.
-TIFFANY: Hell yeah. Keep that momentum. -TIM: Hold it there...
-Q: That's it, Kenzie. -PROBST: Purple picking up the pace now.
Down to just a few pieces left in this second section.
Orange is right on their tail.
-LIZ: There you go. -PROBST: This is close.
Stay calm, you guys.
PROBST: Two pieces left for Purple.
-Go! Jeff!
-PROBST: You're good. Move on to that third and final crate. -Go! Go! Go!
Third section of the puzzle.
-We're just one piece behind. -LIZ: There you go, Mo.
-PROBST: Orange is right behind. -CHARLIE: All right.
You're good! Orange is good.
Here comes Venus and Charlie...
Y'all got to go fast, guys, fast.
...for the third and final section of their puzzle.
We're back on.
That one. That one.
Purple doing a nice job.
-BEN: There you go... -PROBST: One piece at a time.
Can Orange close the gap? It's Charlie and Venus.
All the pressure now on them.
TIM: Bring that triangle down.
-You know where it goes. -PROBST: This is a very close challenge.
Charlie and Venus trying to catch and pass Hunter and Q.
KENZIE: I know, I know. You guys are doing so good.
-PROBST: Hunter with another piece. -Let's go, guys. Yes, Charlie...
PROBST: There's another piece for Orange
-and another piece for Purple. -TIM: There we go.
PROBST: Hunter is on a roll.
Go, go, go. You got it.
Orange is gonna have to kick it into high gear right now.
That one!
PROBST: It's been a valiant effort, but they are behind
and Purple is close.
SODA: Don't give up. You got this, guys.
BEN: Right there. Yeah.
-PROBST: And another piece by Hunter.
Comeback.
SODA: You got it. Okay.
PROBST: Purple down to three pieces left.
-Come on, dragon slayers.
PROBST: This is it, right here, for the win.
And they've got it.
Hunter, Q, Tim, Tevin...
-...Kenzie and Ben.
Safe tonight at Tribal Council.
-PROBST: They earn their merge Buff.
They'll enjoy a merge meal.
-TIM: Good job, Orange. Good job, Orange.
Good job, y'all. That was tough.
You were in it. That was tough.
-I don't even care.
All right, Purple, congratulations.
-You have made the merge.
-PROBST: Your merge Buffs inside. -Want to do it?
KENZIE: We can all do it. We all did it.
PROBST: Put 'em on. Celebrate. You earned it.
PROBST: Biggest challenge of the season.
Shred red.
-PROBST: All right, so here's what's gonna happen.
You're all going back to camp together.
The seven of you will have a nice merge meal,
separate from everyone else.
Everybody goes to Tribal Council tonight.
Everybody votes, but nobody can vote for you.
The only six people who can be voted for
are Moriah, Charlie, Venus, Liz, Soda and Maria.
One of these six- your journey will end
13 days into Survivor 46. Grab your stuff, head out.
See you tonight at Tribal Council.
-Thank you. -Thank you, Jeff.
PROBST: Head on down.
Good job, guys.
This was a clear David versus Goliath situation.
And the Davids did really well, I feel like.
But losing this challenge really hurt.
I've been on Nami, and we've been on a winning streak.
This is my first Tribal.
This is uncharted territory for me,
which is why I might be, like, freaking out.
I have agita.
Agita, where you get, like, chest pains,
like a mini heart attack.
I have agita.
That's what I have right now.
This is where the game gets really good.
Who are we gonna vote out?
You want to be the one pulling the strings?
Apply to be on Survivor.
-BEN: Let's go!
I got my merge Buff. I won immunity.
I'm safe at Tribal tonight, and I won a feast.
I can see the structure from here.
The losers keep on walking.
I'm so sorry for you,
but my mouth is already salivating.
I'm-a eat like a king today, baby.
-Merge feast. -There's our food!
TIFFANY: Oh, my God. Brownies.
VENUS: There's no Buff. There's no feast for Venus.
But you know what? I hope they choke on that food. [chuckles]
-SODA: Valiant effort, guys.
-Came close. -Valiant effort. -CHARLIE: Epic.
-Epic battle.
VENUS: Even though we lost, it wasn't by that much.
We were this close. We were so close.
What a rock draw, huh?
-SODA: Deeply impressed by everyone.
VENUS: Just the fact that it wasn't this big blowout loss-
it just warmed my-my cold, dead heart, you know?
I was like, "Oh, my God.
The underdog does have a chance."
SODA: I'm gonna go wash off immediately.
I just can't stay like this anymore.
There's a very clear tenseness in the air.
I don't know if you guys looked over,
but I was looking at Tiffany's face the whole time. She...
MORIAH: The team that lost has three on Nami-
Venus, Soda and Liz-
and three on Siga- Maria, Charlie and myself.
None of us have Buffs.
We know that there are votes coming to one of us.
I need people to look and say,
"Mo ain't a risk."
I can't have people saying,
"She's a strategist. She's gonna get us out."
That just can't happen.
-To the merge! -Merge!
-To the merge! -We did it.
This is the making of an underdog story.
This wine is just hitting, y'all.
I'm trying to take it easy with the wine,
'cause your girl ain't ate.
KENZIE: I think this is a turning point for the Yanu tribe.
Tiff, Q and I have been dealt enough
of the bad hands inSurvivor.
We've gone 11 days without flint and food.
We-we paid our dues.
-With the grapes? This brownie? -With the grapes.
With this whole bottle of wine.
Tiff, Q and I- we're all safe.
Siga and Nami are on the chopping block.
So we're all just, like,
deciding which way we want to go.
I think we're in a peculiar position,
'cause we got all of Yanu here.
So y'all have an advantage.
Siga and Nami are evenly numbered
on the losing tribe.
HUNTER: I can't even vote.
Hunter can't vote,
but, on day two, I took a journey and got an extra vote.
And at Tribal Council,
there should be an extra vote sitting there, waiting for me.
TIM: We vote, right?
-KENZIE: Yeah, we all vote. -TIFFANY: We vote.
TEVIN: Siga and Nami are even, number-wise,
and all Yanu's here,
which means they're safe tonight at Tribal Council.
So it could be a Nami. It could be a Siga.
So, how you feel about your tribe, Nami?
All I will say is that from day one-
and I've been very vocal about it-
is that I don't trust Venus.
TIM: Moriah, Venus and I talked at the water well,
and Venus was thinking about opportunities.
It completely validates why you may not trust her.
I could see why that would be something
you wouldn't want to work with going forward.
Q: Y'all got to declare somebody, man.
-Well, okay, so who's y'all's Siga person?
BEN: I feel like it's hard. I know it sounds like I'm,
like, playing a cover, but... really, we just had that Tribal.
I don't want to throw anybody's name out from Siga.
I really want to go Siga strong.
But everybody keeps asking, "Yo, what's up with Siga?
You guys got to throw a name out there."
-So we got out of that Tribal... -HUNTER: Who was that?
-Jem. -TIM: Jem.
-Jem's gone.
TIFFANY: Siga's kind of beating around the bush a little bit.
They don't really want to throw out a name.
They're not really trying to work with us,
despite the fact that
that's the impression they're trying to give off.
If you were, then you wouldn't be so tight-lipped
about who on your tribe you were willing
to put on the chopping block.
Q: Siga got to declare somebody.
KENZIE: Who's a threat?
TEVIN: I was about- I've heard through the grapevine that she's savvy.
TIFFANY: I've heard her, like, spit some crazy Survivorfacts.
If she know this game like that, that scare me, dawg.
Do you think that Venus or Mo is more manipulative?
TIFFANY: In my personal opinion, I would be more intimidated
by somebody who's more knowledgeable than somebody
who's just being shiesty,
because shiesty you can sniff out a mile away.
Somebody who's smart could outmaneuver you
in a lot of different ways.
While they're quickly trying to get Venus out,
they're basically just showing their hand and saying that
they're trying to stay Siga strong.
TIM: I'm not saying Mo's off-limits.
I want Venus now. You have Mo. Let's vote.
TIFFANY: Because they were so willing to vote Venus
and more reluctant to say Mo, it made me
want to vote Mo.
TIM: Who's the bigger threat, Venus or Moriah?
MORIAH: Oh, they're coming back.
-SODA: Are they? -MORIAH: Yeah, I see Q.
Okay. Okay. Angry faces. No, don't clap for these people.
TIM: Everybody agrees that Venus is a snake
and some people agree that Mo is a threat.
TIM: At the feast, they said, "We want you to vote for Mo."
Why would I vote for somebody on my tribe?
We want to hear about the feast.
BEN: Come on, don't make us feel guilty, dude.
-MORIAH: I really want to know. -CHARLIE: No, tell me.
TIM: Yes, I threw Mo's name out there,
but I'm trying to swing things towards Venus.
I am protecting Mo
and really protecting Siga's numbers.
-Any talk over there? -So... Yeah, definitely talks.
What's the deal?
Everybody had to throw a name.
-Nami,
it seems like there's some distrust with Venus.
-For Siga's name...
-I said Mo.
And if I was gonna give 'em a name...
I'm not giving 'em Charlie's name.
What I'm hearing is Venus and Mo.
And I don't want Mo to go,
but this is an incredibly important vote.
-Yanu's gonna vote Mo, but I'm voting Venus. -So...
I'm not gonna go down in numbers first.
Um, Mo's gonna get a little antsy from that.
She is. So with that, we have to tell her to vote Venus.
If it's five of us, we keep our five.
CHARLIE: The question is, how hard do we push
to save Mo at this point?
This is the individual part of the game.
I have to get through this vote.
And if Mo going home is what it takes for me to stay,
that's what has to happen tonight.
HUNTER: I want to guide this vote, even if I can't vote.
You need more big sticks?
HUNTER: Ultimately, I want to take out Moriah
because Siga is so strong.
If we leave Siga in this,
it's gonna get tough later.
Q: Siga is a stronger tribe,
right now, than Nami.
-SODA: How many hours do you think we have before Tribal? -Like, three.
Q: Siga- they're trying to keep it together.
Nami has cracks.
So it might be wiser for us to side with Nami
and vote out Mo.
I want your opinion, though.
Who do you think is the right call?
Should we do Siga, Nami?
I needed just an honest vibe on...
LIZ: We were like, "Where's Tiff?"
I was hoping that you weren't down on the beach.
Uh, you got to vote Mo tonight, if you want to stay.
VENUS: "It's Mo. And if you don't
vote Mo, it's you."
That really pissed me off.
TIFFANY: This is what happened. The name from your camp was you.
We were waiting a while for Siga to throw a name out,
and they wouldn't. We need to...
-It needs to be a Siga today. -VENUS: I agree with Siga.
I'm unsure about Mo.
Let's give it a beat. Let me talk a little bit more.
But for now, we know Siga.
TIFFANY: But I'm just telling y'all,
do not say anything, because...
-Oh, I'm not gonna breathe a word. -TIFFANY: Y'all might...
VENUS: When someone hears their name, it's easy to,
like, go into panic mode. Like, "Oh, my God."
Like, "Anything but me."
But I realized, in that moment,
this is a stupid vote.
Charlie would be a smarter vote.
A man needs to go next.
Charlie is the only man that we can vote out tonight,
so I want Charlie gone.
Did they say anything else about Mo?
-Specifically? The guys? -KENZIE: No.
VENUS: I need to understand why Mo.
If it's 'cause she's a superfan alone,
you should be scared for the next vote.
That's why we should think Charlie.
Have you picked that up from Siga's dynamics?
-Yeah, but the boys are super close, extremely. -Like, why...
That's why I was saying Charlie should be the name, not Mo.
It'd be stupid of us to vote out a girl
because the three boys say...
Look, all the ... men went on a feast.
You're not wrong about that.
KENZIE: Venus is pissed.
She's mad that Mo's name is out there.
Venus doesn't want
to send a girl home, and so Venus throws out Charlie.
This is where the plan gets rocky,
because if Venus would just vote Mo,
Mo just goes. Easy.
Venus doesn't want Mo.
-I know what Venus has got going on. -And, see, what scares me is...
Mad. Not just like...
Q: I just told Venus that it's either her or Mo.
So if she mad about it, I'll vote Venus.
I'm going Venus. I can't...
The girls right now in this game have seven to six on the men.
Venus don't want to vote a woman.
That's why she was throwing out
Charlie's name at the water well.
But I have to make sure
Venus understands I put my game on the line
and told you exactly what is gonna happen.
If you gonna be ungrateful...
I'll send your ass back to Canada. -KENZIE: So what are you gonna
tell Venus- Mo?
I ain't talking about Venus no more.
-Damn, Venus.
TEVIN: I'm okay to send Venus home
because I have not trusted Venus since day one.
She's been running around this island alone.
I don't know if she has a Beware Advantage.
She's been spinning
narratives on me. And all of those things
line up in a way that make me feel like I can't
trust Venus at all,
and therefore she must go.
Tevin will go...
And then all of us go...
I am so worried.
I-I know my name has been out there.
It is annoying to hear your name go down,
-but there's more
votes on Venus.
MORIAH: Going into the merge, I decided to work with Siga.
I fear that I am putting
my loyalty and my trust in the wrong spot.
So I feel like I have a lot of work to do today
to make sure I'm not going home tonight.
TIFFANY: We got to get on the same page.
Where is Q at?
TEVIN: There he go. Yes. Come here.
-TIFFANY: Yes, please. -TEVIN: Come here, please.
-It's got to be quick. -TIFFANY: What the ... is going on?
-I don't know what the... -HUNTER: Why'd you change it?
-Just stick with Mo. -Venus is moving around,
saying all kinds of ...
-What'd she say? -HUNTER: Venus gonna get herself voted out.
TEVIN: He also doesn't like that Venus is playing a game
that we don't want to vote out none of the women.
She says she don't want to vote no women out.
HUNTER: Who's she gonna vote out?
Then why are we worried about it?
Things are kind of chaotic right now because
whoever goes home tonight,
Mo or Venus is gonna be the determining factor
of the trajectory of the next couple of votes.
On paper, Yanu has
a really large say in tonight's vote,
but based on how conversations go,
that could quickly change.
All I know is that I'm glad I'm safe tonight
because, baby, it's about to get messy.
For whom it is your first time at Tribal,
grab an unlit torch, 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.
All right. A lot going on. 13 people here.
Seven are safe, six are not.
Tevin, the juxtaposition of having
more than half the group
completely safe is very unusual at Tribal Council.
The perfect word that you just used is "juxtaposition,"
because though I am protected,
I still have to be very aware of what is happening
at this Tribal Council, because this will add up to what
will happen when I'm inevitably maybe not safe at the next one.
PROBST: Q, what is it like having
seven people that are safe?
So, for me, Jeff, I'm just happy that I'm one of the seven
that has this so far, because going back to camp
after that feast was like my little brother kicking over
an ant pile and the ants just started running at me.
-It was like, "You had time to eat, buddy.
Now, it's time to talk."
And we'll see where things kind of shake up.
PROBST: So, Charlie, as one of the six,
can you try to move the game in a direction you want?
Being part of the six, I feel like I'm a goalkeeper, you know?
I have a goal, and I'm not taking any shots.
All I'm doing is blocking, you know?
I'm just listening.
If I hear the name Charlie, I got to get to work.
How about for you, Venus? Can you still play offensively
even though you're trying to make sure it's not you?
Oh, 100%, Jeff. You never give up.
None of us want our names written down, but, also, like,
if the kings of the castle over there,
who already have their Buffs, say a name,
you have to listen out for whether or not
your name's being said and to move that target off your back.
So, Hunter,
how is it decided who you're gonna vote for?
HUNTER: Yeah, I don't have a say in this vote, and so I'll break the ice.
The Yanu has the choice right now,
and they have to choose who's gonna lose a number: Siga
or Nami. And right now
Siga is really, really close.
Like, the cloud nine of vibes.
And, Moriah, that's what Hunter should do-
throw it on another tribe, not his.
Yeah, I mean, I'd be lying if I said
we weren't doing the same,
but I'll let you all in a little secret here.
It was not unanimous at the last Tribal Council.
I was the odd out.
I didn't get the vote right.
I am on the damn bottom, and I do not fit in.
HUNTER: But perception is just reality, though.
Like, none of us knew that
-because y'all did such a good job. -Yeah.
And so if that was the case, like,
-you have to help us with our perceptions. -MORIAH: Yeah.
Yeah, and I'm-I'm helping you along as I can. I mean...
Well, you're talking to the guy who can't vote.
I think I'm talking pretty loudly
to the guy that can't vote.
-But the question really is up to Yanu.
Q, in a game all about numbers,
Moriah just said, "I'm not a part of that group."
Is that appealing?
It's appealing, Jeff, if I feel like the information
is accurate, because this is the first time I'm personally
hearing that she was on the bottom.
Q, I'm serving it up to you on a silver platter here.
-But I'm a man of truth.
Q: And in one conversation
that we had, I asked a simple question.
Q: What went on at Tribal for Siga?
That probably would have been a time to say,
"I am on the bottom. I need help."
But instead, I was told that the vote was unanimous.
So, Moriah, are you playing for Siga
or are you playing for you?
I'm playing for me. I want that merge Buff.
If you were on the bottom, why not express that?
-You see what I'm saying?
Don't let anyone mute you in this game
if you feel like you're on the bottom.
-Q: That's valuable information.
PROBST: Tim, weigh in on this,
because a lot of information is coming out
and it is a showdown between two tribes,
with the Yanu three in the middle.
Yeah, I mean, they were kind of forced to make a decision
on choosing someone from Nami or choosing someone from Siga.
And so at the feast, we went around the table
and everybody that had a vote said a name.
And at the feast, we left with a clear understanding
of who might be voting for who at tonight's Tribal Council.
Charlie, did you hear your name?
I heard whispers, but my way of dealing
with the whispers is to go to the people that I trust,
that I've connected with, that I've spoken with,
and saying, "Do I need to go scramble like crazy
or was this just a whisper?"
Venus, did you hear your name?
Oh, yeah. A lot.
Plenty of times. A terrifying amount of times.
But you can't let that get to you.
I mean, realistically, I hope the people around me
are smart enough to see the value I could bring to them,
and if they're as smart of a player that I think they are,
they'll probably want to keep me around over someone else.
So, Moriah, how are you feeling?
You pitched a case. People seem to be hearing it.
Are you feeling optimistic or pessimistic?
I know what I wanted to say today.
I'll tell you right now, I might be the most honest person
at this Tribal Council. And, you know,
there's important information out here.
I know how whispers fly and how whispers go,
and I wanted to say it loud and clear
for all of you to hear what happened.
And I'm feeling very satisfied
with my message.
All right, it is time to vote.
Kenzie, you're up.
Let's do it.
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.
MORIAH: Jeff.
-Thank you.
All right, Moriah played her Shot in the Dark,
which means there is no vote in here from Moriah.
Moriah, if this scroll says you're safe,
any votes cast against you will not count.
If it says you're not safe,
all votes cast against you will count.
Moriah, you are...
...not safe.
Any votes cast against you will count.
I'll read the votes.
First vote: Venus.
Moriah.
Moriah. Two votes Moriah, one vote Venus.
Moriah. That's three votes Moriah, one vote Venus.
Moriah. That's four votes Moriah.
Moriah. That's five votes Moriah.
Sixth person voted out of Survivor 46:
Moriah. That's six. That's enough.
Need to bring me your torch.
Moriah, the tribe has spoken.
Time for you to go.
-Bye, Moriah.
-Mo-chete.
Congratulations. You are officially merged.
-Santa Claus.
All right, grab your torches.
Head back to camp. Good night.

Two people are going home tonight.
I am stressing.
CHARLIE: We are ready to go at each other's throats.
I just got voted out of Survivor.
The good news: everyone spelled my name right.
So, small victory there.
But in this game, my biggest takeaway
is you deserve as much as you believe you do.
And that's up to you to determine.
And it's sad to know
that this is where my journey stops.
