Previously on Australian Survivor...
Having won every challenge since the merge,
Saanapu is sitting pretty.
We've got chickens, we've got hammocks, we've got pillows...
we've got fishing gear.
We've got everything.
While at Vavau...
a day after playing an immunity idol to save herself
Phoebe found another one.
Found this immunity idol.
Come on.
Come on, come on, come on, come on, come on, come on.
Saanapu...wins.
When Vavau lost yet another immunity challenge...
I'm pretty concerned that we will continue to lose
challenges...unless we get rid of our liabilities.
Phoebe tried to use her idol to rally votes against Andrew.
They're all just circulating around him and
letting him call the shots. He needs to go.
But in the end...
she sided with the old Vavau alliance to get rid of Kat.
The tribe has spoken.
16 are left to battle for half a million dollars
and the title...of "Sole Survivor".
Who will be going home tonight?
Tonight's Tribal Council...couldn't have gone any better.
Kat was on my radar from day one.
Kat thought that she c
could pull the numbers together this afternoon and
blindside me. How stupid, Kat.
_
Good sport.
Yeah. They ya go. Take a lesson in
- sportsmanship for our country. - Yeah.
She's a good sport.
Now she's at home...crying herself to sleep.
And I couldn't be any happier.
Fortunately enough for me, my connections are
so strong in this game that I knew
that my name was being tossed out by the girls to go home.
Does anyone else want their water bottles filled?
- Stop. Aggie? - Um...
- yeah, but actually. - Yeah?
_
Thanks, Conner, for tipping us off when they...
- I never told you...but
one of them's gone home already
and the other one will be going home...the next vote.
And when I get the opportunity
to take out those stupid girls
who think they can blindside me
when I'm in control of this game...
it'll be absolutely beautiful.
_
Yeah, I said that we were doing it.
_
And I was like, well, I'm not gonna stand here,
force you to write her name down, so...
you have to do what you have to do.
And she said, "Okay, cool."
_
I think Andy knows that
I voted for him at the last Tribal Council.
_
Andy's the type of person who,
if you write his name down,
he's gonna be gunning for you next.
But...Andy is the only person I'm
interested in getting voted out.
Gong! Gong!
_
Wake up, Vavauans.
Today is a new day.
Stalinists say differently.
_
Gong! Jonathan wants some fire in our bellies.
I will get a spider.
The mood's pretty low around Vavau
just because we've lost so many challenges
and we just really need to win something.
I feel everyone wanted something,
needed something, needed a kick up the butt.
So, everyone up. Everyone set?
Everyone put some water in your belly.
And come with me to start some fire.
I was awaken to...
a pan being banged by a stick loudly.
Kate wakes us up and says,
"Let's all go down to the beach...and do yoga together."
Look, I sit on my arse from nine to five in front of a computer,
go home, and eat pizza.
- Come forward and cowl down to the floor. - Wouldn't I be surprised.
Now we can come up.
Stay high but put one knee to the ground.
And Kate gets us doing all these poses,
downward dogs and everything.
I'm not a flexible guy.
I don't do frigging yoga.
I wanna do five
really deep breaths
as we visualize that tree.
The breathing that might be going onto
the embers in your fire.
That fire that we're gonna use today.
In that challenge.
That we're gonna use to make up with.
We need a strong team in challenges.
And I really thought they could use this to
spark a fire inside of them again.
But, I don't think there were certain people
who were a hundred percent involved.
I want you to keep your...
embers...right beneath your lungs for the day.
I need embers to light the fire.
And, as Jonathan said last night...
"Where's our fire?"
It's all rubbish. Anyone who get their head
lost in the cloud...
tries to imagine trees and things, is kidding themselves.
And as strange as this position might seem right now,
it's actually a very good one for your digestive system.
That's what we all need.
For me, my strategy is very much about laying low...
and being a wolf in sheep's clothing.
Just go along with the flow of this group.
So, for me, I've just gotta bite my tongue...
keep my head down, keep my downward dog up...
and just keep riding this Vavau alliance
all the way and get to the end.
_
- Honestly, I do, too. - Let's find something to do about it.
Everyone's thinking chicken.
Everyone's getting it. But, nobody's saying it, but...
No one wants to say it.
At day 24, we have nine tribal members right now,
so we're doing pretty well, in comparison to Vavau.
But, this morning, the mood around camp
isn't amazing, because we've been eating beans
now for two days, so everyone's struggling a little bit.
_
I don't wanna kill a chicken or anything like that,
- but, like, we need to make sure we get a... - I don't think anyone can do it.
- Like it...the way Chicken was harmed, you know. - Pay it off. Exactly like this.
The chicken debate is just non-stop.
I can't believe how many energy
has been put into this chicken debate.
So, we'll just have a convo about the chicken
so we know exactly what we're gonna do.
_
Saanapu has had a bit of a
ping-pong match when it comes to,
"Do we eat the chickens, do we take the chickens, do we eat the chickens."
"Are they gonna lay eggs one day,"
"what are we gonna do with the chickens?"
I think that we should kill them.
They are a source of food
which can help people on this tribe
to get further. I don't think anyone here wants
to kill a chicken, but if it means, you know, more energy,
if we keep winning, then...I'm for killing a chicken.
_
I hate seeing those speak of death...
in that cage. Think it's awful.
So, my opinion would be to let 'em go.
I'm not really why we're in a position where we...
are desperate to kill a chook.
I don't wanna be involved in it. I'm not gonna eat it.
I'm not really sure where the panic's coming from.
One person started that debate on not eating them.
And that one person was Matt.
Back home...I bloody eat plenty of chooks.
And I used to work for a bloody poultry shop,
so I can't really say too much.
Turn up my eyes up a little bit for that sort of stuff, maybe.
And I-I don't feel like I really...
wanna be...doing that.
He wants to be perceived by others
as being a caring guy.
asTwo days ago, Matt told me
that at one point he had sixty-two kilos of
chicken nuggets in his freezer and no where to store them.
And now...
"Oh, God, we can't kill those"
"chickens, because that's just bad."
Certainly, we've got enough food
for the next twenty-four hours.
And he was able to convince
wishy-washy, upside-down, Sam...
that...he didn't wanna kill them either.
I just think there's too much room
for error here, we're not professional...
chicken-cookers or anything like that.
Good point on the health hazards, as well.
We don't know...what we're essentially doing.
And then that got Lee who the day before...
Lee volunteered to help kill them.
Then it grew to three,
and then it grew to four, five, six.
I don't wanna kill 'em.
Okay, exactly, so you're not at all.
That puts us in the majority.
Yeah, convo ends and-and, correct me if I'm wrong,
- but we're letting them go somewhere else. - Everyone happy with that?
Everyone happy with that? Perfect. Then it done.
We want to let go two huge
sources of protein, just let them into the forest.
I viewed Matt as a threat because
he was able to sway the majority to do
a really, really dumb thing. And that is really scary.
_
Two people didn't wanna do it...
and what's happening?
- Nine people are letting them go. - Yeah.
- Let's just keep that between you and me - Yeah. No, definitely.
The whole thing about the chickens is a bit of a metaphor
for how quickly this game can turn.
And I don't want anyone having that much power.
Come on in, guys.
_
Saanapu...
Take a look at the new Vavau.
- Kat. - Wow.
Kat voted out at the last Tribal Council.
_
I gotta ask, what's-what's going on with the chickens?
Yeah, we, eh, we were wondering...
if you would like to...do some sort of swap?
We're feeling very generous, we don't wanna take their life.
We came together as a group and decided that
potentially we could come to some
sort of deal where we could swap something.
Mainly, because we know that there was some, eh,
rice and bananas left at Aganoa that we thought...
that's a pretty hefty price
to give up two egg-laying...plump chickens for.
Have they been laying eggs.
- They have been. - Every day.
The last time I looked at the survivor menu,
I think it said "No Substitutions".
Fair enough.
Two lives for some food.
What about the ocean?
Don't you guys have all the fishing equipment?
I don't know, someone's been fishing in our oceans
and it's not us. We've got noth...there's nothing around.
- Oh, really, they've all swum off to Japan. - Someone took all our fish.
This is called Survivor. Which means that you need to survive
You have food sources...you're gonna have to make it work.
Alright.
- Who's ready to get to today's reward challenge? - Yeah, yeah.
Here's how it works.
Each member of your tribe
will be tied together and loaded down with
a six kilogram bag. .
You will then race around an oval course...
attempting to catch the other tribe.
You can drop out any time you want, but if you do,
you gotta hand your bag to another tribe member.
If you catch the tribe in front of you, you win.
If you get caught, you lose. It's a simple as that.
- Wanna know what you're playing for? - Yes. Yeah.
For the tribe that wins, waiting for them back at camp...
will be...
a chocolate feast.
Chocolate of every description. Chocolate cake...
chocolate brownies...chocolate bars...chocolate cookies...
and...
you can wash it all down with chocolate milk.
We need this more than anything.
Well, after twenty-three days out here,
- I figured that you might want this today. - Oh, my God, yes.
_
Alright. Saanapu, you have two extra players,
you're gonna have to sit two people out.
Keep in mind it cannot be
the same person in back-to-back challenges.
- Alright, who you sitting out. - I'm gonna sit out.
And me, also.
Okay, Flick and JL are sitting out,
everyone else, you get a minute to talk about it.
We'll get to it.
Alright, here we go. For reward. Survivors ready?
Go!
- Go, Saanapu. - Great, guys, get cranking.
Both teams fast out of the gate.
- Wake up. - It is hard getting through the deep end.
Oops, it's shallow, it's shallow there.
- It's shallow. - Look up, look up.
This challenge is gonna require both
strength and strategy.
Alright, let's do that, almost losing you.
Do you go out hard early?
- Try and chase them down? - Legs up.
Or do you let them wear themselves out?
Hold it for a minute. Gone already?
Saanapu picking up the pace around that shallow section..
- Come on. - Come on, guys.
Think about breakfast.
Saanapu, ahead at this stage.
- Can't beat us stumbling, guys, hey. - You alright?
- I don't got the build. - Drop out. Toss me your bag.
- Sorry. - Toss your bag.
Oh, Matt has clicked out...
giving his six kilogram bag to Kylie.
- Sorry. - It's alright? You do well.
- Come on, guys. - Flick!
I'm out, I'm out.
_
Give me your bag. Give me your bag.
- Sue is out. - Oh, my God.
She hands off her load to Kate.
I need help with this bag.
Thanks. Need help.
Harder than it looks.
Doing well, guys.
Keep pushin' it.
Saanapu, now gaining on Vavau.
- Come on, Saanapu. - Stop here. Losing my chain.
Oh.
El falls over.
Up. Up, up, up, up. You up, you up?
They're losing some time. She falls over again.
Lee helping her up.
- Not too slow. - She's gonna go.
- Yeah, quit knocking her down. - Quck.
Handing her bag off to Lee.
The tribe is stopped as they try and get her off the rope.
They lost some valuable time there.
Ready?
- Run, run. - Come in, guys.
- Come on in, guys. - Close to the edge, guys.
Let's cut those corners out.
_
Kylie hands a extra bag back to Sam.
Exhaustion quickly setting in on this.
_
Got any.
You going?
- Let me know if any of you need to go. - Yes.
Hey, Conner.
- You done? - Yeah, right there.
Go, flip.
- Andrew...peels off for Vavau. - Keep going, guys.
Hands his bag to Conner.
Haven't lost any of the stride. You go, guys.
- Up. - Oh, Kylie takes a tumble.
- Hang on. - Get 'er up.
Get up, get up, Coming to that shady end, aren't you?
Just pace yourself.
Take your time and wear 'em down.
Andrew offering some strategy from the sideline.
You're alright..
Saanapu's a little ahead, but not by much.
We're fine.
Hard work.
- Oi! Help... - Come on!
Brooke, handing her weight...
- What're you doin', gotta take the other one, too. - to Sam.
- Let's go.
Sam has...three bags.
He's carrying eighteen kilograms right now.
Lee has two bags.
Don't stop, you go, let's go.
- I just wanna you to move on.
- We gotta...
- I'll get in step. - Come on.
Vavau picking up the pace.
Take that, go wild.
- Trying to widen the gap. - Come on.
That's the job, Craig, just wear 'em down, buddy.
Vavau doing quite well.
- Like every time... - Not to win out for us.
- So, you run. - They seem to be worn out now.
We're five left for Vavau but only four left for Saanapu.
Come on, Saanapu.
Guys...All the way!
_
Nick, looking exhausted
in back of Saanapu there.
- Kylie, we're getting to be so proud of you. - Well done, guys. Keep it going, guys.
I'm out.
- Nick is out. - They've lost one more.
- Free? You guys are free. - Guys, guys, guys. Please. Guys, don't wait.
Kylie peeling out.
Three? Kylie peeling out. They've only got two.
They've only got two guys now.
Now, Sam has four bags.
That is twenty four kilograms .
he is carrying all by himself.
Lee has eighteen kilograms.
There's two left for Saanapu now.
Play the long game, guys.
- Once they've got two... - They get tired very quickly.
And they are closing in on Vavau.
Hey.
Pick up, love. Pick up that stride. Pick up, love.
Vavau, picking up pace around the shallow section.
Vavau has five left.
Vavau has a distinct numbers advantage,
but will that help them?
- You chop it...Craig. - Great job, Vavau.
- That's it. - Come on, guys.
Oh, are you alright, Kristie?
Kristie goes down. She's in the water.
Conner's trying to hold her up.
Sam, setting a pace for Saanapu.
Oh, Lee falls over.
Kristie is out.
Sam is forging ahead, trying to grab the...
Lee falls over,
he's got the rope wrapped around his head.
Telling Sam to stop.
See, Lee is coming.
- Go, Sam. Go, Sam. - Sam's just flying.
They're almost on them.
Vavau can feel it coming.
They're trying to get away, trying to widen the gap.
But Sam's right there, and he touches Conner.
That's it. Saanapu wins reward.
Thank you, guys.
Sam, carrying twenty-four kilograms, takes them to victory.
Huge effort.
Saanapu...congratulations.
There's a huge chocolate-fest waiting for you back at camp.
Head on out.
- Thank you for us. - Enjoy that sugar high.
We're off.
Vavau, big effort today, but sadly,
got nothing for you. Grab your gear.
Head back to camp.
Something's gotta change the fact we keep on losing.
Can't keep on using the same formula...to lose.
I can't play a stupid game any more.
Something has to change.
Here's to good time. I won.
We win the reward challenge. We get back and it's just...
It's the most amount of chocolate I've ever seen.
This one...God...that's something else.
- Will you look at this? - Oh, my God..
- Cookies, too. - Oh, my God, Sammy.
Never in my life.
- Before you move in... - Yeah.
- What a great effort that was. - All done now.
Hands in. One...two...three...Saanapu.
- That was very nice, really. - Already, dig in, everyone.
It was an absolute chocolate feast.
- Ready, set, go. - Ohh.
We're talking cakes, we're talking cupcakes,
we're talking brownies and cookies,
topped with chocolate butter cream
and chocolate milk on the side.
- Two-two. - Oh, my God.
I haven't had a normal amount of either one.
- That frosting... - This-This, object...
Oh, mate, we're having this.
That much cake is the happiest I've ever been.
I mean, this is the best reward yet.
I love chocolate so much.
It's just something that I'm been addicted to.
Oh-ho-ho.
Heavenly fairies.
- I don't care if I throw up. - I don't care.
I don't give a rat's ass.
- Now...these brownies have been the best yet. - This is what is, that is...
- I'm so happy. - I so happy for you, babe.
It was just a dream come true for me.
Hey! Is that too much.
One thing I know...
Matty, Matty, Matty.
- Don't let me down. - So like you. Go.
I like chocolate milk so much.
I was gonna have a little sip to finish off the day.
- Ohh. - Oh, my God.
- Leave some in there. - Whaaat?
Ended up...necking about a liter of chocolate milk.
- You had some, walk off. - Well, yeah.
I'm not feeling exactly right.
- I did get a bit squib. - Okay, said something.
I think I bloody said something.
Get out of it, chook. The chook is on his head.
Are we gonna let the chooks go now?
We finished our chocolate meal and we decided
That it's now time to free the chickens.
Hey. Fly!
Come and say your goodbyes, guys. Ready?
They weren't giving us eggs,
so we had to get rid of them at some point.
And I was glad. We would have thought if
no one had to chop off their heads.
Chicken number one.
Uh...you laid a couple of eggs. .
- That's pretty pathetic. - Dude...
- Really pretty pathetic. - Warning, just so, eh...
Yeah, they'll be happy when they're out of this
- little cage, too. - Yeah.
- I think so. - And enjoy your-enjoy your little freedom, mate.
Right...and thanks for nothing.
_
Saying goodbye to the chickens was alright,
because...Chester's still with us,
and Chester's my number one girl.
- Alright, there you go. - There you go, guys.
- Bye. - Don't follow us.
Don't follow us, whatever you do, I'll shut you down.
Why would you let that much food go?
It's only by the challenges
that we are getting these huge chocolate feasts.
When those rewards start drying up,
what are we gonna eat?
Chicken nuggets...chicken wings.
Coconut crumb chicken vignettes.
Oh, my God.
- Chicken pizza. - Yeah, I love chicken.
- Chicken sweet corn stew. - Yum!
When no one's looking, I might go...
hunting back through the forest with my machete,
to see if I can get myself a drumette or something.
But...Ohh...just...the...the utter stupidity,
the stupidity. Ohh.
Losing the challenge...it doesn't feel good,
especially when there was chocolate on the line.
I was really dying for some chocolate.
- I'm just so...sick of losing. - Yeah.
Like...
I feel like...I've never lost...
- As much. - so much in my whole life.
- I... - But we don't have enough...
Quite frankly, I don't care about losing reward
and I don't care about losing immunity.
I'm someone who...loves going to Tribal Council
cause that's where Survivor is played.
And I'm excited we're gonna have a big feast.
You know, cooked coconut.
Do you have enough?
Tribal Council...is just about getting more practice,
sharpening my knife more.
And getting ready to make moves later on in the game.
- What's it feel like. - Squishy.
Like one of those squishy balls
you have as a kid were filled with goo.
- And it's not gonna hurt me? - No.
- No, not quite like that. - Ohh.
Ohhh! I'm nervous.
Oh. Go, girl. Go, girl. Go, girl.
Ahh! I don't know if...
- All set. You can do it. - Ahh,
this-this gooey bit is freaking me out.
- Okay. Got it? - Yeah, I got 'im.
- You got it. - Ohh!
Kate, Phoebe and myself went
out to find some sea cucumbers
because we all want something
variety in our meals.
- Oh! Oh! - Ahh!
But more importantly, we wanted to have a
chat with Kate to see where her head was at,
what she was thinking and
if we could get any more information
on what the tribe was thinking.
Did Andy ask you...about...your vote?
I think he was actually insulted that he got voted for.
- I'd...really. - This isn't just my impression
because he didn't ask me about "who voted for me?"
"I know Kat did, who else."
- Really! - I don't know about you guys,
but he pissed me off at tribal. I was, you know.
- Just the opposite of peaceful. - Well, didn't...
Phoebe and myself...were having the chat
about getting Andy out...
and...seeing if Kate was on board with that idea and...
she really was.
She was almost more passionate about it than we were.
_
I can start setting him up, but "Yeah, but he's very loyal."
How much?
- Two...Two of you can get better. - If we're loyal, you can get loyalty.
If it's too early in the game, that doesn't count.
- Yeah. - We need-We need-We need challenge strength.
- Yeah, yeah. - Yep.
We have to make sure...
that we're strong enough.
Andy is a concern...because...
he sits with a majority at the moment.
So, he's got the numbers.
But...he's not delivering in physical challenges.
And...if he doesn't go,
then one of the two Aganoa girls go.
He's relying on his loyalty to get him through the game,
but I'm out now.
I'm not in on it...and I...
really just gotta chat with the others.
I haven't vented like this since
they made me hide for twenty-three days.
So...let it all out.
Finally, people who are sort of in the
same firm mindset as me.
We can't continue to let the other team
going down like it dominates just because of
the loyalty card.
I've made up my mind and...he needs to go.
I'm not gonna sit down and take it anymore
because I'm sick of dragging dead meat along for the ride.
- Welcome back. - Thank you.
- Sam...how was that chocolate feast? - Ohh.
Oh, it was the best thing that's happened
to me in the last twenty-five days.
- Really? - Yeah, I'm...Hun-Huh-Hundred percent is no fuss,
or maybe it's the whole thing that I...
Absolute ripping afternoon.
Many, eh...restroom breaks, but it was more way...
Wow. Sue, what's gonna happen to Vavau...
if you guys lose today?
Well, back to Tribal Council with you. Again.
We're gonna try very hardest not to be there tonight.
- Alright. Guys ready for today's immunity challenge. - Yeah.
First things first.
One again, immunity is back in play.
Okay, for today's challenge.
One man and one woman
from both tribes will each hold a rope
connected to a net.
While members from the other tribe
will attempt to land coconuts in those nets.
The more coconuts you get in the net...
the heavier they become...
the harder they are to hold up.
Last person holding onto their net...
wins immunity...for their tribe.
Losers...go to Tribal Council where,
after twenty-five days, one of you will be voted out.
Saanapu...you have two extra players,
you guys are gonna have to sit out two people.
Keep in mind, it cannot be the same two people
in back-to-back challenges.
- Who's it gonna be. - Myself and El.
Nick and El sitting out for Saanapu.
Okay, everyone else, you have a minute to talk about it.
We'll get started.
For immunity.
Survivors ready.
Go!
- Guys, ready. - You got this, guys.
Okay, on the baskets for Vavau, we have Sue...and Craig.
And on the baskets for Saanapu we have Sam and Flick.
- I'm lucky. Don't worry about it. - But Kylie's short.
Kate is short.
That's alright, there's a learning curve,
there's a learning curve.
- Oh, nice one, Phybs.. - Hey, good job.
- Connect. Phoebe scores the first coconut for Vavau. - That's far out.
- Oh, what happened. - Kylie almost connects.
- Kate's short. - Oh, shit.
Matt almost puts one in for Vavau.
Bit more sting on the arm, bit more sting.
- Not going, unlucky. Little bit more height. - Lucky.
- Yeah. - Lee connects for Saanapu.
Have to work, Saanapu.
Yes, yes. Kylie put one in for Saanapu.
- Hey, Lee. - Lee puts one in for Saanapu.
Way to gain weight.
Kylie puts another one in for Saanapu.
They are loading up Craig right now.
Come on, guys, more oomph, more oomph.
Go, Andy. You got this, you got this.
Get out of there, Andy.
- Good eye, everyone. - Come on, Andy, more oomph.
Come on, guys, come on.
- Yeah. - Now Louise puts one in for Saanapu.
Go, go, go, go. Hey, go.
Craig's basket is half full,
Sue's basket has no coconuts.
Saanapu clearly going after
poor old Craig right here. Lee puts another one in.
Craig has proven to be very strong on the ropes.
Kylie puts another one in.
Come on, guys, I need some help.
Come on, Vavau, you need to pick it up.
Kate puts one in for Vavau.
- Phoebe gets another one in for Vavau. - Good work.
Come on, Andy, up high.
- Go, Matty. - Go, Matt.
Matt gets one in.
Craig's muscles must be aching.
That is a heavy...net of cocnuts.
Come on, guys, spike it!
Take your time, Andy, a little higher.
Well, not so high, Andrew.
- Nice! Aw, not so. - Yes. Oh!
So close.
- Go, Kylie. - Kylie gets another one in.
Well, you can see the strain...on Craig.
That is a lot of weight in that basket.
Vavau, gonna need to pick this up
if they wanna stay in.
- Run, run, run, run, run, run, run. - Shut up.
- Yes! - Nice. Vavau puts one in.
- Phoebe connects for Vavau. - Yes!
- Go, Lee. - Go on, Phbys, you killin' it.
_
Oh, Andrew's short.
Nice try, a wee bit higher.
- Yes, Bro. - Get the...
That's a lot of weight for Craig here.
You can see the strain on his face.
That is a lot of weight you need to contend with.
I'm not even half and I'm heavy.
Saanapu is relentlessly shooting at his basket.
They have not bothered to put one...
in Sue's basket, yet.
Yes.
- Another...in from Matt. - Good Job, babe.
Hang in there, Craig.
- Three in the other basket. - Okay, team, let's go load it up.
- Good work, Craig. - Conner just puts one in.
Yes, connected, well done.
Oh, boy.
Oh, Craig is struggling now.
Good recovery, though.
Don't let down, guys. He has a lost of weight in his basket.
Travel long, travel long.
Much more weight than anyone else.
- Let's go Lee. - There's a lot of strain on Craig's face.
- Yeah, Lee. - Lee puts one in, that could almost do it.
- Keep getting Craig. Good work, guys. - He's really struggling now.
You can see the quiver in his leg.
- Doing well, Craig. - Another one for Kylie
in Craig's basket. Is this gonna do it?
He's really struggling.
Goddamn, let's go. Keep it up.
A lot of pain in his face right now.
Let's go, like several more to take it.
Put up that, Craig. Pull that back.
- Pull it back. - He's down to his last knot.
Trying to pull it up.
We got another one from Lee. And he gets it in.
Is this gonna do it now?
- Craig, hold it. - Craig is almost there.
- Hold it. - And another one from General Lee.
Do it, Craig.
Craig is still holding on, he is digging deep.
Dig deep, Craig.
Huge effort from Craig.
Keep at it, Craig.
The pain in his face. And another from Matty goes long.
Lee...is gonna put...pouring it on, that's it.
That's it, Craig is out of the challenge.
Okay, Craig is out.
Sue is the last remaining hope for Vavau.
She's gonna have to dig deep
to outlast Sam and Flick.
Feel free to throw some in mine, guys.
Vavau, you need to pick it up...to stay in this.
Come on, pick it up. Vavau.
Focus on what you're doing. Come on.
- Good work, Phybs. Get on it. - Jump, Phybs.
Sam decided to struggle now.
- Hold onto it, Susie-Q. - Come on.
- Come on, Matty, let's go. - Conner gets one in for Vavau.
Good work, Conner. Keep it up.
Trust me, it's heavy. Go.
Good work, Phybs. Good, babe.
A lot of strain on Sam's face right now.
- Oh, unlucky. - Hold on to the...
- Lock yourself in.
_
- Good work, good work. - Sam's basket is getting heavy.
- Another one...from Kate. - Come on.
Sammy is jumpy.
- You've got it. - Sam's basket is going down.
- Come on, Sammy, hold it. - Let's move.
Sam's struggling.
Matt gets one in for Saanapu.
But, Sue is holding strong.
She's doing well. Another one in for Saanapu.
- Sue is looking really strong. - Go, Sammy.
- Sam is starting to struggle. And he does. - Take your time, concentrate when you throw it.
- Run. - Take it down, Brookie.
Brookie hits another one for Saanapu,
but Sue is holding strong.
You're good, babe. Go, babe. Dig it, Susie-Q. Dig.
Lee gets another one in for Saanapu.
See-See, you hold that rope, girl.
Just hold that bloody rope.
And you stay ready when you got...Yes.
You don't let that thing go.
You dig deep, babe. You dig.
Hold on, girl, hold on.
Kristie gets one in for Vavau.
Kylie gets another one in Sue's basket.
- Hold on, girl, hold on. - Dig deep, Sue.
Hold on, girl, hold on. Dig deep, Sue. Hold on, Sue.
- Sue is digging in, - Pull it back!
- she's really putting in a huge effort. - Good work.
- Goddamn right!
- Really good, babe. - Sam is going, too. This is gonna be close.
We've almost got 'im, we've almost got 'im.
- Move! - Keep going, Vavau.
- This could be it right here. - Hang in there, Sammy.
- It's a race between Sue... - Awesome work, love, awesome work.
Quick!
- and Sam at this point. - You keep holding onto that plastic.
He's throwing in, Sue. He's throwing in.
- Good girl. - And Sam forsakes it.
- Sue is doing this. - Good girl.
- Sue is doing this. - Hold on, Sue.
- Strong there. - Go, go, go.
- Another one goes into Flick's basket from Matt. - Come on, you.
- Come on, guys. - Quick, quick.
Sue is digging deep.
- It is, boys, prefer quick. - Let's go.
Hold from Georgia...Georgia.
You hold it...you hold it.
Sue is digging really deep here.
Guys! Hold on!
Look, put my hand back of the wood.
Sorry.
- Good for you. - Yeah!
Saanapu...wins...immunity.
- You did all of that. - Oh, sorry. Sorry.
Oh, my God.
- I'm sorry. - You...were...amazing.
- It was hurting my hands. I'm sorry. - No.
- That was a tough... - That was a tough one.
- I had to make, right? - Thank you.
It was a good try, a good try. I can't...
Congratulations...Saaanapu.
- Once again, immunity is yours. - Okay.
No Tribal Council for you tonight.
No one going home from Saanapu.
Grab your gear. Head on out, enjoy the night off.
Good luck.
Vavau, that was a huge effort.
Well done. Unfortunately, you're gonna be seeing me
tonight where somebody will be the ninth person
voted out from this game.
Grab your gear. Head on back to camp.
I'll see you at tribal.
My performance,
once again, was absolutely pathetic.
As long as Vavau keeps focus on loyalty...
and not challenge performances...I'll be safe in this game.
We lost the challenge today and...
surprise...go to Tribal Council.
_
- It's all done for ya.
_
- They're good... - But are they really?
That's interesting.
_
This tribe sucks.
And it sucks being on the outs all the time.
I just hope that things shake up
really, really soon or...my game's done.
I've given my allegance to...this group
- and... - We know that.
even if it bites me in the arse...
I'm staying loyal.
_
It was simple. I'm sticking by our five allegance
of myself...Conner...Andy...Craig and Kate.
That left the two girls, so one of them had to go.
_
I still have control in this camp. I decide who goes home...
and Kristie's brought up my name
at the last Tribal Council
and voted for me. And anyone who
votes for me in this game is going home next.
_
Unfortunately, I'm locked in this alliance with Kate.
I can't stand Kate...but for the moment
I have to work with Kate.
I've just gotta keep this family strong...get to the end.
_
My job today is to make sure that
the original Vavau members...are considering
voting out one of their own
original Vavau members.
You guys...
are obviously in a dilemma as well.
- Like, it's not as easy as being like... - Yeah.
- "Okay, I potentially may have to vote" - Yeah.
- "somebody from my original tribe" - Yeah.
It's really important that he knows
that I'm loyal to Vavau...because...I need...
Craig has to be docking me, then voting for Andy.
I don't know him the same way you guys do,
but if you're looking at the tribe
and the strength of the tribe, like...
- we keep losing numbers, right? - The...The song is being sung...
- You know where we stand. - Yeah, absolutely.
So...I...
I don't know that there much more we can do then.
_
Andy's going home tonight.
- Andy, either way. - He has to go home, right.
But it would be really good
if he could go home...with the numbers.
- Yes, just because... - And no numbers...we played an idol.
I...found a hidden immunity idol.
I'd really like to get through the next
vote without using the idol, if possible.
What'd you think?
Do you reckon we're gonna be able to
pull the numbers for Andy?
_
- You really do? - Yep.
Phoebe and myself are relying on Kate
to have discussions with everybody...
to make sure that Andy goes home.
We need this!
. - talk?
- Yes. - No,
Craig's the one I'm gonna approach cause I feel
Craig's like me, hates losing and knows something needs
to be done about it.
I want a strong team and I hate losing.
You've been around. We're just going down like dominos.
- For me to make a pass at you. - Yeah.
- Absolutely not. - Then why are dragging him along?
_
Feel like we're dragging him along because
we have this whole pack of five.
There's times in Survivor
that you need to take a step back...
and rethink about you,
my game and what I want to do for...my game.
Last tribal, all he said, "I got loyalty."
"I've got loyalty and I've got..." That's all he has to offer.
He's got nothing else.
Should we vote out Andy and make the team strong?
Or, should we stick with our original plan and...
vote out Kristie because, out of Phoebe and Kristie,
Kristie is potentially the weakest one.
I am...
can't believe I'm saying it, but I'm happy both ways.
_
Yeah.
Yeah. She has no part where she wants it.
_
__
Routine bonding over there. I don't think you need to worry.
Yeah, but they don't know it for sure.
Yeah, and I've got...
- I know that. - Yeah, yeah.
You've got mine, as well.
Absolutely, man, absolutely.
- I got you. - Good job, bro.
Kate's someone who's been wishy-washy in this game.
I know that Kate's bringing my name up around camp.
I know that Kate's concerned about my
performances in challenges. However, this may be
a race to the trigger.
And, Kate, I'm gonna get there first.
_
And, knowing that Kate's gunning for me,
I need to get Kristie...Phoebe...
who are both very much on the outs of this tribe...
on my side.
If I can offer them security...
then I'll maybe...I can use them to my
advantage and start making some
powerful moves in this game.
_
I wouldn 't say that I trust Andy...
but he's somebody that I need...
to ensure my own survival,
I need to keep making sure that everybody thinks I'm
a really good option to take forward.
_
.
- Cool. - Good.
Good bump.
- Ya-ya. - Cheers.
I'm very much in control of this tribe.
I have them all like puppets.
And I'm pulling the strings.
And I'm the one who's dictating moves
and dictating who goes home in this game.
As far as I'm concerned...
it's a win-win situation for me.
Kristie or Kate will go home tonight...
I've just gotta make that final decision.
Tonight is gonna be an absolutely scintillating
Survivor blindside.

Back to Tribal Council.
Look, I gotta say...
it was...bloody close today.
You said you needed to bring the fire
and, eh, you did, in spades.
Kate, how did you feel about it today,
well, how did you see the challenge?
Eh, I thought it was quite a difficult challenge,
but I thing everyone...
did really well, eh, especially our holders today,
they did absolutely amazing and,
yeah, we pulled together as a team, but yet again...
not across the line.
Who was your hero today?
I think, eh, best on field was Sue.
- Absolutely. - Yep.
She was absolutely amazing.
She dug deep...just great.
Well, look, I gotta say,
yeah, Craig, you're a man among men
when it comes to holding a rope with a weight.
There's no doubt about that.
Ah, Jonathan, you're gonna make me blush.
Well, I was getting to Sue
cause Sue, that was impressive.
Thanks. Thank you.
You're a force to be reckoned with.
I know that. Thank you.
How about you, Andrew, what's your
assessment of the...challenge today?
What could you have done...differently as a tribe...
to win this today.
Jonathan, as always,
we're incredibly close...and unfortunately...
.just didn't get it done.
You don't know how many more coconuts
it needed to take...to get Flick...um,
to drop her basket, so...
it's just one of those things, I suppose, maybe,
land a few more coconuts and
it could have been a whole different story.
Saanapu could have been sitting here in front of you.
Phoebe...as the numbers dwindle
in this game, how do you keep your options open?
At this point in time...
I...don't think I've had a lot of options since
I...joined Vavau, so it-it's difficult
when you've been in the minority, you know.
I think that question will be better suited
to people who actually have more options than I do.
Who do you think has more options in the tribe?
I think...anyone sitting in the majority
has the option to change things up if they want to.
What about you, Kristie?
Whenever you guys come here, there's always a lot
of talk about...the majority.
Where do you fall...
are you in the minority or the majority tonight?
- Oh...who knows? - You don't know?
- So, is the majority... - Well, hopefully I...hopefully, yeah.
Sue, is the majority still the majority?
I'm not sure.
Oh, you're not sure?
I'm hoping it is.
This game twists on a dime.
We'll see.
Do you get to a point where you're putting all your...
eggs in one basket?
You're putting all your loyalty...into one majority and you
eh...do you get to a point where you think,
"Maybe this is not working, maybe I need to look at other options?"
This whole thing's doing my head in.
- I've gotta tell ya. - Um-hmm?
I'm just trying the best I can...
to get through the tribals...
with a bit of dignity and loyalty.
Kate, what's more important for you
at this stage in the game?
Is it more important
to maintain strength in the tribe
that could help you in challenges
which help you...keep you out of Tribal Council or
is loyalty more important?
Which may not help you tomorrow
but may help you further down the road?
I'm not voting what's gonna be for me,
I'm voting for what's gonna be best
for the tribe as a whole.
So, you voting with your head or with your heart?
I think there's three things you vote with,
your head, your heart and your gut...your instinct.
And I use all three whenever I vote.
Andrew...do you think...alliances can take you
all the way through this game,
or is there a point where...
that just kinda has to shift.
Alliances can take you very far in the game.
When you put your trust in other people...
and you hope that they will
reward your trust with loyalty.
But, you know, later on down the road,
there may come a point where alliances have to shift.
And new alliances have to be formed.
- Are you at that point? - Not tonight.
I'm gonna do what I said I was gonna do
with the people I said I was gonna do it with.
The five in the majority have a very good thing going...
and it would be silly at this point to mess it up.
Craig...what's your opinion...on alliances?
There's only a few of us that sit at the end.
And if you've got an alliance of eight...
not all of those people would fit in with your game.
- So it needs to shift at some point? - Absolutely.
But whether that shift is now...
or whether that shift is later in the game...
that...is what...you need to work out.
Have you guys worked that out tonight?
I hope so.
Alright. On that note...let's vote.
Conner, you're up.
I need to do what's best for this tribe.
We need a stronger team.
_
I'll count the votes.
If anyone has a hidden immunity idol
and they'd like to play it, now'd be the time to do so.
Once the votes are read...the decision the final...
person voted out...
will be asked to leave Tribal Council area immediately.
I'll read the votes.
First vote...
Andrew.
Kristie. That's one vote Andrew...one vote Kristie.
Andrew. That's two votes Andrew...one vote Kristie.
Kristie. That's two votes Kristie...two votes Andrew.
Andrew. That's three votes Andrew...two votes Kristie.
Goddamn.
Kristie. That's three votes Andrew, three votes Kristie.
Last vote.
Ninth person voted out from Australian Survivor...
Andrew.
Need to bring me your torch.
Well played, guys...well played.
Congratulations. Well, played, brother.
Ayyy.
I thought I had it all figured out.
Andrew...the tribe has spoken.
- Time to go. - See you, Jonny
Cheers, mates. See you, guys.
Andrew. See you.
Ohh.
_
Well, I guess that blindside
proves that there's a new majority in town.
Grab your torches. Head back to camp. Good night.
Next time...on Australian Survivor...
Craig has the clue...
I cannot find this idol.
But Phoebe has the idol.
They're just wasting their time...cause I have it.
Suckers.
Will this be the biggest move in the game?
Perfect.
I'm a hundred percent no regrets out here.
Absolutely impressed with the way I played the game.
They played a good game to get rid of me.
It was in all of their interests because,
if I was kept any longer...
I would be taking those suckers out one-by-one.
I maybe got a little bit cocky...
a little bit arrogant and...hungry with my power.
And, unfortunately, that's why I'm sitting here tonight.
And what better way
to go out of Survivor than to be blindsided?
