Previously on Survivor...
Jacaré was worried about Matthew's bizarre behavior.
I promise I won't harm anyone.
I don't like the sight of blood.
Why does he need the machete so sharp?
I think he's gonna kill us.
So Rob pretended to form an alliance with Matthew
for his own protection.
I am taking my life into my hands
with the amount of lies that I'm telling him.
But Rob's true alliance
with Alex, Jenna, Deena and Heidi
was targeting Dave.
I've had an ax to grind with Dave for so long.
He's a show-off, he's arrogant.
I can't take any more.
Dave's got to go.
He's a threat.
And when Dave won a muddy reward challenge...
Dave wins reward.
he chose to share it with Deena to plead his case.
I'm just trying to salvage myself
to stick around as long as possible.
I know.
I'll see what I can do.
But the immunity challenge
showed the tribe where they stood with each other.
Boo-yah!
Dave and Matthew were the first eliminated.
Welcome to the morgue.
And it was Jenna who took home immunity.
Nice job, Jenna.
At Tribal Council, Jacaré's decision was unanimous.
The eighth person voted out and the first member of our jury:
Dave.
The tribe has spoken.
Eight remain.
Who will be voted out tonight?
(quietly): This is what I had to come
over here to talk to you about.
I am privy to some information that
there are some females with this tribe that are
somewhat unhappy with the leadership role
that Deena has assumed.
Every morning, I give Matt
a debriefing of the wild-goose chases
I want him to work on for the day, just to keep his mind busy,
so he doesn't really have any chance
to figure out what's actually going on.
This is very highly confidential.
Deena was saying that you are the biggest threat.
Right. I would assume that.
I mean, people thought I was the biggest threat
on, like, day two.
Yeah, that's true.
I've been really filling Matt's head
with a lot of crazy stuff,
and I've been telling him about how the men are gonna
vote off all the women
and that we need Butch's help.
So, Matt is off on a bunch of wild-goose chases.
Because you're the person I trust most in this tribe.
Okay, good.
Butch— I pulled Butch in
because I think that he's a, he's a good guy.
Butch is on, seriously, on a need-to-know basis.
All right, let's-let's go back before anybody misses us.
You go first. I'll go to the bathroom.
All right.
You go that way and I'll go the other way.
We gotta be... we gotta be a chain.
A what?
Chain like a chain-link.
It's a chain,
and I'm Butch's link to what's happening.
I've told him that I will decide when we speak,
I will initiate all communication.
I'll decide how much information he gets.
I am his lifeline.
No one hears anything about our conversations; they don't exist.
We don't talk about anything.
No, we don't talk about anything.
And I initiate all communication.
You initiate all communication.
I guess it's like a chain.
You got your big chain, big four together,
and then you want to be one of those links.
And you want to be that, uh, seventh link,
then maybe sixth, then maybe five,
and then maybe... there may be a break
and you can jump in there and grab on.
And that's what you want to be able to do.
Okay, that's it.
No more talk.
It's funny because it's like,
I tell him what to do, and then he feels like—
then he goes and tells Butch what to do.
- (laughter) - Then it's like,
Butch is like— it's like he's the operative.
And he's like, he's like, "I told Butch, I said,
Butch, you're on a need-to-know basis."
The fact of the matter is that Matt is
who the group would like to vote out next because we think
that he's mentally unstable,
and we're afraid that he may kill us.
So, uh, we're trying not to let him know
he's gonna be voted out.
We need to be very cautious
that he does not feel threatened or he does not
feel like he needs to kill us, any of us.
Is Matthew a physical threat?
Yeah, to my safety.
Treemail, treemail, here we come.
- Oh, no! - Oh, no.
"Practice, practice, practice, Don't compete in haste,
Smell the aroma of victory, Get Brazil's most famous taste."
Coffee?
You're right, "the aroma of victory."
You know who's gonna win?
Alex. - I would say Matt.
Oh, Matt. Absolutely.
"Smell the aroma of victory."
I don't know how good an idea this is,
to give us a bow and arrow.
What you got there?
Bows and arrows.
Matt's gonna orgasm with this.
Think these are blow darts, too.
That's good.
Everyone took one of the weapons for a spin.
You know, everyone took a couple shots with the arrows,
couple throws with the spear
and blew a couple darts.
Not bad.
Coming into this game, the only spears I knew about were
Britney and broccoli and asparagus.
Harder than that.
Do I need to, like, totally put my mouth around it?
Yeah, I think so.
Very good.
Matt, I really— I think you got this one in the bag.
Not necessarily.
What do you think?
I think, I think you're 100% right.
If I was in your situation,
I'd be thinking the same, the same way.
Matt came to me and said,
"I'm not gonna try my hardest today
because I don't want people to think I'm a physical threat."
And I said, "Matt, I think you're finally
starting to understand this game."
You are, you are figuring this game out.
Good. I'm learning, man.
Ow, that one hit my hand.
You okay?
Come on down, guys.
Everybody good?
Today's reward challenge is
going to test your proficiency using three weapons,
all indigenous to the Amazon.
For the first round, all eight will participate.
You'll shoot blow darts.
The four people with the highest score will move
to the second round, where you will throw spears.
The top two finishers from that round
will move on to the final round,
where you will shoot a bow and arrow.
Person closest to the bull's-eye wins reward.
- Want to know what your playing for? -Yeah. -Mm-hmm.
Well, one of the things
that Brazil is best known for is its coffee.
So we have constructed, for the winner
of today's challenge, your own Survivor coffee bar.
Have a little sampling here.
- Oh, my... - (chuckling)
So, I'll let you guys divvy this up.
Little piece of croissant there.
Heidi, you take it and figure out what to do with it.
Everyone take a little bit.
Worth playing for?
- I think so. - Yes. -Mm-hmm.
Okay, we'll draw numbers to determine the order in which
you shoot your blow darts and we'll get started.
All right, first round: Christy, you're up first.
Let's go, Christy.
There we go.
- Nice job. - (applause)
Christy, first on the board with three.
Top four move on.
- Wow! - Ho!
Bull's-eye. Ten points.
Nice job.
Butch.
Loses the glasses.
Let's go, Butch.
Nice shot.
That's clearly a five.
Rob, you look like you're gonna be good at this.
Not bad. Not bad.
Matthew in the lead with ten points, Butch at five,
Rob and Christy at three.
Alex.
Nice and slow, dude.
- Nice shot. Seven. - Ooh. Good job.
With that, Alex moves into second place.
Matthew's still in the lead at ten points.
Jenna.
- Oh! - Three.
That's okay.
- Good job. - Good job, Jenna.
- Thank you, guys. - Deena.
And five.
Here's our countdown:
Matt has ten, Alex at seven, Butch and Deena tied at five.
That knocks Jenna out, along with Christy and Rob.
Heidi.
Gonna take a five to keep you alive.
- That's not a five. - Mm.
- Nope. - Zip.
- Good try. -That's okay. - Good try, Heidi.
Matt, Alex, Butch and Deena moving on to round two.
You will throw spears.
The two closest to the bull's-eye
moves on to the next round.
Matthew, you drew first this time.
That'll work.
Wow, that's gonna be tough to beat.
Deena, you're up.
Take your first shot. The two closest move on.
No score for Deena.
That's okay.
- It's all right, D. - You made it this far.
Butch.
Did okay with the blow darts, see how you do with the spear.
That'll work.
Butch on the board.
All right, Alex.
Come on, Alex.
Let's go, Alex.
Gotta get inside the green.
Count.
- Yeah, baby! -Good job. - That'll work.
Alex and Matthew moving on to the final round.
I'll take it.
Good job, guys.
Let's go, dude.
You and me, baby.
Moving on to the bow and arrow round.
You guys keep it here on the bench.
Matt, Alex, join me in the tower.
Here we go, Matthew.
Take your shot.
Not bad.
Alex.
This guy is a nincompoop.
Alex, you're going to have to hit it in the yellow,
red or black to win.
- And he does. - Whoo!
- Boo-yah! - Alex is drinking coffee.
- Good job, dude. - Yes.
Good job, buddy. Well done.
- Nice job. - Thank you.
Alex!
Oh, yeah!
Alex, congratulations, dude.
Thank you, my brother.
- Good job. Good job. - Hey, that was good.
- Good competition. - Guys, come on up.
Matthew, you can join them.
All right, Alex, so we have this Amazon coffee bar.
- Oh, yeah. - But of course,
one of the best things about being in a coffee bar is what?
- Hanging out with somebody. - Hanging out with your friends.
- Yeah. One friend. - Absolutely.
So, Jenna, let's go have some coffee.
- Jenna gets her wish. - (Jenna shrieking)
Guys, nice competition.
Sorry. You can head back to camp.
Let me present to you your home for the next few hours.
- Wow. -Nice! - The Amazon Cafe.
- Very nice. - Very nice.
Going to the coffeehouse was awesome.
It was this cool little structure out in the,
out in the jungle.
We had a blast.
Guys, here's to surviving
- 25 days in the Amazon. - Thank you.
Right on.
Everything here is yours.
Have a good afternoon.
- Later, guys. - Thanks, Jeff. See ya.
Oh, my God.
Mm-hmm.
I'm so happy right now.
This is so cool.
That is so good.
This is so nice.
To you, for winning.
Thank you very much.
I couldn't have picked a better person to spend an afternoon
- in the Amazon with. - Oh, you are far too kind.
I really, really like Alex, and, uh, it was
really nice to, like, spend time with him and talk to him.
And I was so excited because I love to eat,
and me and Alex are like bottomless pits.
We just stuffed our face.
I'm so thankful.
Oh, so am I.
So am I.
Ah!
- Catch something, would you? - I will.
Okay.
I'm in the mood to do absolutely friggin' ass nothing.
Reward challenges are great
when you get maybe a full stomach, whatever.
But it also tells you who's really here to play.
And unfortunately, it sets
those people up with a really bad position,
à la Alex.
He clearly came out
as a dominant individual.
And that frightened me.
Hey, Heidi, I'm going to lay it here all on the line for you.
How important is it for you to advance in this game?
Totally, with all my heart.
All right, well, you tell me how well you think
you're going to be able to advance if-if, uh,
Matt or Alex is in this game.
Matt's not in the picture.
I understand that.
What if Matt wins immunity tomorrow?
I'm talking about Alex versus Butch.
Who do you have a better shot against?
Well, definitely against Butch.
So, it seems to me,
if Matt wins immunity, then Alex has to go.
Wow!
There you go, dear.
- Thank you. - You're welcome.
Any special way to drink this?
- Well... - We'll just get amped.
Yeah, we're going to be zinging out of our heads,
and when we come down, like, in the middle of the night tonight,
we're just going to be, like, "Oh, my God, I'm gonna die."
Yeah, we could actually, like, just sit here and not have to
worry about anybody overhearing our conversations
and just hang out and...
And actually talk about people without having to run away.
Mm-hmm.
I would've never expected this
when I started this game.
What?
To meet, like, such cool people.
Yeah.
You and Heidi and Rob are just so much fun.
It's funny 'cause, like, us four are, like,
like, the bonding crew.
Totally.
I wonder if Deena knows it.
I don't know where Deena's at anymore.
I don't, either.
And, like, I-I...
I've been, like, known her since day one.
- Mm-hmm. -And I don't know where she's at.
It's hard for her to get along with us
because she doesn't have the same— like, she's very strict.
She's not that much older than me.
- She's three years older than me. -But it seems like
- an eternity. - But she's, like— Yeah.
She's so different than me.
She just seems to be, like, trying to, like—
even thinking of, like, another angle or plot or something.
Yeah. Yeah.
We all have a chance against one another if it's us.
- Yeah. - We don't have a chance
- if Alex is in this game. - Yeah.
I think that the wisest move is to get rid of
the equal powerhouse.
I have a alliance to the end with Deena.
That is a secret.
The other players,
I don't believe, have any clue that Deena and I
have been working together and are so close.
Do you think that Jenna would agree to that?
Yes. I don't have a problem with Jenna.
I just need to finesse that.
So I will let you know when it's,
when it's time to talk to Jenna.
So it was settled.
If Matt won immunity,
Alex had to go.
They're there.
Yeah, they are.
Uh-oh.
Did you get it stuck?
I either got a bite or something's caught.
I feel as if we're in control, Rob and I.
Ultimately, I'm in control, you know, 'cause I always
have a backup plan after my backup plan fails.
You have to be thinking 24/7 here,
and it's making my head hurt.
This is getting so interesting.
I'm so full.
Me, too.
(groans) I'm not worried about, uh,
I'm not worried about eating any manioc when I get home.
No.
I think I drank four iced coffees,
and we both had a cappuccino and then
Alex had one more iced coffee.
That's a lot of coffee in a short amount of time,
so we-we were buzzing.
Let's eat a lot of manioc.
Okay.
I'm so hungry.
I know.
Yes, the fun never stops here in the Amazon.
Hey, how are you guys?
How are you?
Oh, we missed you.
We have an announcement.
Um, first off,
Jenna and I would like to, uh, say that we're more than willing
to take at least the first two fire watch shifts 'cause
her four cups of coffee and my five
pretty much guarantees no sleep for quite some time.
- Yada, yada, yada. - But if you could all
just take a seat over here for a minute.
Um, good thing about being
- (cheering) - at the cafe
is that cookies can actually travel.
So everybody gets two cookies.
They kind of broke.
That's all we could make,
that's all we could make it out of there with.
But I wanted to make sure that there was some for everybody.
Thank you.
- Thanks. - So enjoy them.
Enjoy them, my friends.
I'd just like to say, for the record,
- that I don't approve of this. - Okay.
When Alex and Jenna came back from
the reward challenge, they brought back two cookies
for each of us, which was a very nice gesture
and much appreciated by the tribe.
But Matt and Butch were in the boat,
and they didn't know there were any cookies.
There's, uh, there's a little bit there
for the two of them to grub on.
Yeah, there's two cookies there.
We could eat all the cookies.
I was very fair.
I thought that we could just eat the cookies
and Matt and Butch wouldn't know.
I mean, they're really on the outside looking in, power-wise.
Even if they found out, what are they going to do?
Oh. Son of a...
Man, I want to catch some ... damn fish.
Matt and I have been trying to catch fish.
And we caught 12 fish the first day we were here.
The next day, we caught six fish.
We caught one this morning.
We fished for three hours.
It got so hot out there, we could hardly take it.
Here we go.
Oh, oh.
Dude, he took my bait.
The bastard.
Got something going here.
Got him.
- Got one. - Bring it in.
Good job, dude.
Got him.
Awesome.
Nice... Nice-size piranha, dude.
Piranhas have real sharp teeth and they're really long.
I had one on the boat, and I stabbed him in the head
two times with my knife, had already cut him all the way up,
and I was getting ready to turn him over to skin him...
Ow! Got bit.
Bad?
It hurt. And that fish was dead.
I don't know, it must have just saw my finger,
come right around and bit me.
Yeah, that was stupid of me,
but I thought the fish was dead, and he had one last bite.
How bad?
Eh, he nailed me.
He got me pretty good.
Good news first: we caught fish.
Bad news: a few small, puny fish.
- We brought you back some cookies. -Boo-yah!
- Oh, you guys are the best, man. - Thank you.
I mean, they kind of didn't travel well.
Everyone's gotten theirs except for the two of you.
You got to split this up.
I'm sorry I could not take you with me, Matt,
but I did promise Jenna.
You know, promises are really what it's all about.
We'll be right back. We're gonna go to the bathroom.
Deena had told Heidi not to say anything to Jenna
about Deena's plans to get rid of Alex.
But following
Alex and Jenna's return from the reward challenge,
Heidi told Jenna everything.
(whispering): Yes, I do... I don't know...
Alex and Jenna were my original alliance.
I'm not going to turn my back on them.
So, I mean, I just told Jenna about it,
and I knew she'd speak to Alex about it.
So, wait, what did Heidi say to you?
Heidi said that she-she ... turned on us,
so we need to get her off after Matt.
How did Heidi find this out?
I guess, Deena said something to her and, like...
Deena stabbed us all in the back
because she's being selfish.
I'm really pissed at her.
She's obviously trouble.
She's starting trouble already.
That doesn't need to happen around the camp.
We still got two days.
- But I'm-I'm worried about Rob. - Butch, Butch...
Why would Rob pick her over us?
Because, see, I know he gave her a word.
And so, I grabbed Rob, and I was, like,
"Rob, dude, what's going on?"
He goes, "What do you mean?"
I was, like, "So, now, I'm on list?
I'm— My head's on the block?"
He says, "How do you know that?
That just happened this afternoon while you were gone."
I was, like, "Dude, 'cause I'm good.
I know what's going on."
And he was, like, "Yeah.
Deena wants to get rid of Matt next, and then you."
She wants you done sooner than later.
Dude, you know what?
Here's-Here's my, here's my plan then.
Mm-hmm.
In two days, we vote off Matt.
Three days after that, we keep Christy
and we keep Butch and we get rid of Deena.
Things have
really gotten interesting over here at Jacaré.
It's Deena versus Alex, and both think that
they're calling the shots in this game.
I feel so retarded right now
because of some spider bite.
Oh, wow.
It's getting bad.
- Can't bend it at all? - Uh-uh.
- What's the status? - I don't know.
I mean, it just won't bend now.
Like, I mean, it was such a sharp pain, I almost lost it.
It started off sore, and it started turning black and blue.
I am not even able to touch my knee without extreme pain.
I mean, I literally cannot bend it.
Your-Your knee is hot from here.
It-It's... pretty much to here.
You want me to carry you over and put you down over there?
No, no, I'll-I'll walk.
Heidi has been bitten by some insect, and it has now
reached the size of one of her breasts on her knee,
so it's very hard for her to walk around.
Hopefully, she'll have it drained.
Stupid bugs.
Let's see what's in the old mailbox.
Treemail.
Oh, yes.
What do you got?
Is it something fun?
"What do you crave more, immunity or food?"
I'm eating.
"The thought of going home tonight
"might put your palate
- in the mood." - In the mood.
What's that mean?
That I don't understand.
- Oh, wait. No. I don't know. - No.
I'm confused. Maybe I'm just an idiot.
- This says right here... - Great.
"immunity or food."
No, I'm hungry.
The plan leading up to the immunity challenge
has always been Matt first, Matt first, Matt first, Matt first.
"What do you crave more, immunity or food?"
Dur.
But we've decided and we've agreed, if Matt wins immunity,
Alex must go.
He's gone.
Period, end of statement.
I'm so ready for—
- Let's go now. - (chuckling)
Anybody feel like canoeing?
You keep eating the manioc.
Come on in, guys.
Got a wrapped knee.
- Thank you so much. - Uh-huh.
What happened?
We believe a spider.
Stupid spiders. (chuckles)
So, in a physical competition, you're in trouble right now.
Slightly.
We've all gotten bit.
27 days you've been out here.
Not bad.
And probably, from day one, the most common thought
- in your head has been... - Food.
- Food. Mmm. - Food.
- I'll be the first to say. - Oh, yes.
You want food, today you're getting food.
Oh! All of us?
- Nice. - Yes.
There's a catch, guys.
We've prepared a nice Amazonian menu for you.
Many of the items on the menu
are actually things that can be found in your own camp.
They're all delicacies in the Amazon, and, more importantly,
in a survival situation, they are a necessity.
There will be four courses.
The last two people to finish their food in each round will be
eliminated until we're left with the final two.
Last one left standing wins immunity.
Speaking of which, give it up, Jenna.
I know that's nice to have around the neck.
Do well today, you can have it again.
Immunity is back up for grabs.
We will draw numbers to determine
your order at the table, and we'll get started.
Hope you brought an appetite.
Okay, go ahead and take off your tops.
- Okay. -These are Amazonian grasshoppers.
They're a little larger than a traditional grasshopper
and, I might add, a little tastier, as well.
Have you tried one?
- I certainly have. - Nice.
So here's the rule.
You need to show me an empty mouth.
Now, once I've said you're good,
if it comes back up, that's okay.
But you gotta get it down for me to see it.
- I can't eat this. - The first six
to finish their grasshopper move on to the next round.
The last two are out.
- Everybody ready? - Yep. -Yeah.
Survivors ready?
Go.
It's a little dry.
Mm-hmm.
- I'd say so. - And once you finish
and I say you're good, step away from the table.
Christy having a little trouble.
Heidi's trying to convince herself.
Mind over matter. Mind over matter.
Matthew's in.
You're good, step back.
Looking for five more.
Keep it down.
Deena, you're good.
Uh-uh, I'm not going any farther.
Ah!
Alex, you're good. That's three.
Looking for three more.
- It's really dry. - Rob working on it.
- It's dry. I mean... - It's hard to swallow.
- It doesn't taste that bad. - You got it down, good.
Christy, get the rest in.
Keep it down.
Sorry. I'd rather have manioc.
Y-You're that confident about immunity?
No, I just can't eat it.
Rob, you're, you're still a ways away.
You got half that grasshopper left.
- How you doing, Butch? - I'm enjoying it.
Go, you got it, Christy. Do it.
Ooh, crunchy.
Come on, Heidi.
I just gotta get it down.
- It's hard to swallow. - Mm-hmm.
It is a bit hard to swallow, man.
You're good. That's four.
Two more moving on.
- Jenna's already... - (retching)
- Oh, no. - That's good, Butch.
Christy, it's you and Heidi.
Swallow it, Heidi.
That's it.
Christy's in.
Christy's in by a second, Heidi.
Good try, Heidi.
Good try.
Heidi and Jenna, have a seat on the bench.
Guys ready for the next round?
- Mm-hmm. - Open up.
See if these look familiar.
You have ten babassu worms.
These are coconut worms.
You guys have had these at camp, I'm sure.
Now it's just a matter of
getting ten down the fastest.
Four of you will move on.
Two will not move on.
- Everybody ready? - Mm-hmm.
Survivors ready?
Go.
- Matthew's in. - All right, Matt.
Deena is in.
Alex is in.
That's it.
- Christy's in. - Mm, mm, mm!
Rob and Butch, you're out.
Sorry, buddy.
You gonna go ahead and finish, Rob?
- I like them. - Here's the deal.
Two of you will move on to the final.
Two of you will be out.
Go ahead and take off your tops.
Oh, blech.
- Five beetles. - Oh, God.
Medium-size. They're not large.
That's disgusting.
Oh, marone. (laughs)
Baked.
A little crispy.
Survivors ready?
Go.
Christy having trouble.
Get 'em down, Christy.
That-a-way, Deena.
Matthew looking good.
Hurry.
Nobody rushing.
- Hurry, hurry. - Let's see. Show it to me.
- Hurry, hurry, hurry. - Down, down, down. That's good.
Matthew's in.
Looking for one more.
- Hurry! -Between Christy, Deena and Alex.
Get it down.
Come on.
- Deena's close. - Come on.
Come on, Christy.
Deena is in.
Christy's throwing up.
Christy and Alex, you're out.
The final round, the final course.
One for you, Deena.
Specially prepared for you, Matthew.
Mm-hmm.
They ordered ahead just for you, Mateo.
Thank God.
Okay, comes down to this.
One final course.
Immunity at stake.
You guys have proven you can eat pretty much anything.
Take a look at your last course.
Oh, you've got to be kidding me.
- What is it? - What is it?
That is just nasty-ass.
- Let me see. - What do you got?
- Show it. - It's alive.
- What is it? - It's a big grub.
It's just a big, old nasty— what is it?
- Oh, that's foul. - Big grub and it's alive
and it's got big teeth.
Sweet, dude!
And it's got really sharp claws.
Put it back down now.
Beetle larva found in the trunks of dead trees.
Very common out here.
The only difference is it's alive.
It's not been baked or barbecued.
We've taken the pinchers off, so it won't hurt you going down.
Here we go.
For immunity, Deena and Matthew.
It's real simple, guys: get it down first
or you could be in trouble at Tribal Council.
Huge stakes. Here we go.
Survivors ready?
Go.
- Wow, you swallowed it whole? - (cheering)
- Yes! - (whooping)
You didn't even kill it?
- Good job, Matt. -Wow! - That thing is
still working its way down.
I'm hoping my digestive juices
are going to do battle and hopefully win.
- This guy is crazy. - Dude, that was awesome!
You are nuts.
Hey, hey, wave, guys.
Yeah, baby!
Yeah!
All right, Matt.
You are safe from the vote tonight.
- Cool. Thanks a lot. - Nice effort.
Everybody else, you know the drill.
Somebody's going home. You can head back to camp.
I'll see you at Tribal later.
I'll be right back, guys. I'm gonna...
we're going to wash.
The mistake that Alex made at the immunity challenge
was to lose the immunity challenge.
Alex needed to win
to save his heinie.
Didn't happen.
My ass really had to have been on the line today
for me to have eaten that grotesque thing.
If everybody is still with me,
why even try?
So what's going on?
Um, Alex is, by far, the next in line.
Alex has to go next.
Next.
Okay.
That's understandable, 'cause when...
I convinced Jenna
Alex is too great of a threat, so he's gone.
(singsongy): Bye-bye, Alex. Bye-bye, Alex.
I'm— we're completely in control of this.
Oh, yeah.
So you're with me, right?
- Yeah. - Okay, pinky swear.
- All right. - So...
Deena's been in alliance with me and Alex
and Rob and Heidi, but she stabbed us all
in the back, and I am
so incredibly disappointed and shocked.
And I can't ever forgive that.
So, this is the first time I've been pissed off in this game.
- Mm-hmm. - You, too?
I'm just tired of sitting on those logs all day.
Deena took me aside and talked to me.
What'd she say?
You know, Alex needs to go next.
She wants the final four to be you, Heidi, Christy and her.
She just wants all the girls— all the guys gone first.
She told me, quote, "We control this game."
And I was like, hmm, you've said that to everybody.
Mm-hmm.
She's like, "I have Rob around my finger and he has Matt."
So that's where it stands at this point.
It's just... if Rob turns on us, then we're screwed.
That's true.
the cat?
Ah!
I'm sort of in both circles in all this right now.
I get information from Deena and Alex, too,
which is sort of a precarious position to be in,
'cause it could backfire.
Alex is a, is a greater threat, only because
he's gonna make a power play with the girls to get rid of us.
Right.
I don't want that to happen.
Okay.
And you have more control over the Butch and Matt thing because
they can be led in different directions
- to vote for whomever. - Yeah.
Rob is doing his own little work with, uh, Matt,
and Matt, of course, then, will talk with Butch.
And so it all kind of—
our little fingers are out reaching,
and it's all falling into place.
Girls are playing their part.
(sighs) Whew!
So... we'll do it.
Do Alex next?
I think so.
Deena and Alex both think they have the exact same people
to vote the other one off.
And both think that their plan
is going to work without a hitch.
It's like we're in the Mob, and that there's gonna be a hit
on one of my friends, and I really have to look
the other way and act like everything's hunky-dory.
But when we go to Tribal Council tonight,
the one person that's gonna get the hit tonight
is gonna be the person that least expects it.
Welcome to Tribal Council.
We'll now bring in the first member of our jury.
Dave is here only to observe.
Just gathering information to help in a very important vote.
Heidi, what the heck is going on with your knee?
(laughs): I wish I knew.
I mean, it's getting better, though.
It's getting better, and I think honestly,
probably in two days, I-I'll be good to go.
Did it concern you at all?
- I mean, this is an individual game. -Yes!
Oh, my gosh, yes.
I'm sitting here, okay, my strongest
assets to this group are
athletic ability and intelligence.
And, hello, one of those is gone right now.
- Which one? - (laughter)
Well, uh, that's a very good question.
Deena, now that we are in the jury phase of this game,
have you noticed any palpable change in the game?
Game is on.
People are jockeying for positions.
There is a struggle for— and I wouldn't say power—
but there's a struggle to see who has power.
You bet. Absolutely a change.
People are a little on edge.
It's no longer about survival in the Amazon.
It's survival in the Survivor game.
Alex, you start to notice,
or maybe think you're noticing, people whispering
or pairing off a little more often than they used to?
To some extent, sure.
You can't help but get a little bit paranoid.
And you start asking yourself questions about, like,
whether or not ethics enters into the game or not.
Do you stab someone in the back?
It's a balancing act, for sure.
See what happens.
Matthew, how important was immunity for you to have?
Immunity was a nice thing to have today,
but for me, uh, personally, based on what I know
about the tribe and, uh, feelings
and the mood of the tribe,
it wasn't, uh, absolutely essential.
Hmm. So are you willing to negotiate for it?
No.
Alex, how nice would it be
for you to have that necklace tonight?
I'd love to have that necklace.
I want to finish this game.
I want to win this game.
I don't get into competitions to go, "Eh, that's cool.
I'm done now."
It's not why I do it.
And if my name comes up, well, then my name comes up.
I don't have any control over it.
Deena, feel good about how you played the game?
Thus far, yes.
If my name comes up, it would have come down to a bug.
I mean, essentially,
okay, spawned out of the pit of hell,
but that thing— that's what separates Matt and I,
is swallowing one giant, ugly grub.
It is time to vote.
Christy, you're first.
I vote for Alex tonight,
because he's a serious threat to the tribe,
so I'm trying to get rid of him tonight.
You lied to me, you betrayed me, you screwed me.
Now screw you.
'Cause you are a mental and physical powerhouse,
you're standing between me and the big prize.
Deena, you couldn't even stick by your word for three days.
I'd actually love to go up against you in court any day,
'cause you're the worst liar I think I've ever met in my life.
I'll go tally the votes.
Once the votes are read, the decision is final.
Person voted out will be asked
to leave the Tribal Council area immediately.
I'll read the votes.
First vote:
Deena.
Two votes Deena.
Alex.
Two votes Alex, two votes Deena.
Three votes Deena.
That's four votes Deena, two votes Alex.
Ninth person voted out, the second member of our jury:
Deena.
That's five, and that's enough.
Need to bring me your torch.
No need to read the last vote.
Deena, the tribe has spoken.
It's time for you to go.
Well, you've survived nine Tribal Councils,
lasted 27 days.
You're doing something right.
These last 12 days will raise one very simple
but important question: How badly do you want it?
And what will you or won't you do to get it?
Guys can head back to camp.
Good night.
Stay tuned for scenes from our next episode.
They saw me as a threat, and I wanted to change
the, uh, the face of the game a little bit
and vote off the people that were the strongest
so that we could finish off until the end.
Things happen, people change their minds,
relationships grow, and there's attachments, so I got nixed.
But remember that you're going to have to live with
the decisions for the rest of your life,
so make sure that they count.
Thanks for the ride.
I had a good time.
