Tonight, join us for a special episode
of Survivor: The Amazon, as we take a look back
at the first 27 days, through highlights
and never-before-seen footage.
We're going to split it up like-like a calendar,
and day one, two, three, and we're going to make a crate...
'Cause Rob and I were the great counters,
you know, for both tribes.
I had been painting with Heidi.
This is the hottest girl I've ever talked to.
She has both natural
and man-made beauty qualities.
You know, you guys want in the cage.
- Kind of going... Christy, uh—
we have made her feel good about herself.
They thought, "Yeah, that would be cool."
Be lots of signs, you know.
They were, like, "We'll learn some signs."
Tambaqui is a fish, so this is fish.
That is so great that people really want to, like, learn.
There's been a lot more,
um, noises in the jungle tonight,
and I just saw something over there.
I mean, it's definitely an animal.
It's so close to our camp.
So I'm a little freaked out right now.
27 days ago, 16 Americans were stranded
in the middle of the Amazonian rain forest.
Immediately, the castaways were separated into two tribes.
As I call out your your name,
I want you to climb down the rope ladder.
Jeanne. Heidi. Joanna.
And for the first time, the survivors
were divided along gender lines.
It is only fitting that, for the first time, while we're here
in the Amazon, we have a tribe of women versus a tribe of men.
I was absolutely just
overjoyed that it was an all-female tribe.
It's an all-chick thing.
We can let our hair down.
We can pee in front of each other.
- Dave. - Dave?
All the guys were really pumped up.
There is no way that women
are going to beat us in anything—
physical, mentally.
We're never going to go to Tribal Council.
Tribal Council— we ain't goin' to Tribal Council.
They're so freaking cocky.
I just want to beat them to just kind of like shut them up.
But the women stumbled from the start.
Ryan?
I just couldn't even untie a boat,
and I just felt so stupid.
The guys going off one way.
The girls couldn't untie...
Well, I couldn't untie the knot.
When the men arrived at their camp,
they brimmed with confidence.
- (whooping) - Yeah!
You know, we're all... we're all friggin' men of pride,
men of honor, whatnot...
- And right now, baby... - Tell it.
Yeah, we're the favorites right now.
The Tambaqui men
aggressively began to build their new camp.
I think I missed my calling in life as a lumberjack.
At Jaburu, Christy revealed her secret.
I... It's not a big deal, but I think it's something
that every tribe member should know, that I am deaf.
I can't hear. I read lips. Um, night time...
Christy has a hearing disability.
She just asked us to look at her
and speak slowly, so she could read our lips.
It took us by surprise.
Oh, my God.
Unlike the men, the women struggled
to get their camp up and running.
We almost got it.
And unable to read lips in the dark,
Christy felt like an outsider.
Did you notice
the guys stared at Heidi when they got on the boat?
I'm missing out on a lot of the information.
I could never be like them, because I'm not.
I'm always totally different; always have been.
(voice breaking): Just, like, I'm at a big disadvantage.
By day two, Roger was already annoying people.
Okay?
Ryan, you want to stoke that fire up
and check that water, see if it's boiling, please.
Roger definitely is very bossy.
Go-Go do this, go do that.
I just go-go and do it, but
I'll put it all in a mental note.
Ryan and Daniel failed to impress their tribe mates.
This kid Ryan and the kid Daniel—
uh, they're just not contributing.
They're just useless.
Despite their differences, the men seemed
to have it together.
Tambaqui!
- Oh! - Oh!
We're like the Eight Musketeers.
But at Jaburu, the women had different priorities.
We're having a difficult time
getting our tasks in order,
completing them and moving on to the next project.
It's a, "I'm kind of feeling like
I need to wash my buff now," so we wash the buffs.
I'm thinking shelter.
On day three, Janet found surviving
in the Amazon tougher than she imagined.
I hit rock bottom today.
You know, I planned on it
being difficult, but not brutal.
I don't think I've ever been this physically exhausted.
I don't know if I can do a challenge.
I'm having trouble walking.
At the immunity challenge...
Go!
the men jumped out to an early lead.
Men are out first.
Feet can't touch!
No, Daniel!
- No...! - No. Come on, Daniel!
But Ryan and Daniel
couldn't handle the balance beam...
Go!
so the women seized the opportunity.
Guys, you've lost your lead.
The ladies have completed the balance beam.
And Heidi lead Jaburu to victory.
Jaburu wins immunity.
Back at Tambaqui,
Rob's strategy was to play both sides of the fence.
Privately, Ryan has asked me
to vote with him to get rid of Roger,
and Roger has asked me to vote with him to get rid of Ryan,
and I've told them both that I will do what they want.
At the first Tribal Council,
Rob's vote was the difference.
Roger had three votes, but
Ryan had four, and he was the first person
voted out of the tribe.
Ryan, the tribe has spoken.
It's time for you to go, man.
It's-It's upsetting with being the first one voted off,
and it's going to suck, 'cause you know the boys back home
are going to give you a lot of crap,
and the family's going to be disappointed,
and when it's a tie vote,
and it was separated by one vote,
and the one vote was somebody that I kind of aligned with,
it's really tough to swallow.
Trying to improve their situation on day four,
Jeanne and Joanna set out for food.
There's some over here, but they're hard to get into.
The natural resources in the Amazon are fish.
There's some plants that we can eat, plenty of nuts,
and lots of fruit, but we haven't explored enough, so...
I just spend whatever time I have available to go hunt.
- Oh, my... - Oh, my God!
What? Did you find it?
- It's a pineapple! - (both screaming)
- Oh, my God! - Oh, my God! Pineapple!
Are they under the ground?
Here's a pineapple.
- Oh, my... - Thank you, Lord.
It's not ripe, but...
- So, I can't believe... - Look at this.
Jeanne and I came back to camp with the pineapple,
and I had the pineapple concealed in my jacket.
And we wanted everyone to be there
when we pulled out this pineapple.
- Drum roll, please. - Oh, no.
That was a pineapple bush.
All right!
This is the Amazon.
This may be the size of the pineapples here.
It's yellowing.
Wait a minute, girl. No.
This is good, thank you.
- Yeah! - Look at that, and...
- It's not green. - It's not?
It is sweet. Mm-hmm.
- Oh, my God. - (shrieking)
I don't know if it's because
we're starving, and probably anything tastes good.
But it was so good,
and, uh, I think it kind of like lifted everybody else's
spirits a little bit,
because we were just, like, delirious.
Okay, I need about ten more, and I'll be really good to go.
But the good spirits didn't last long
when controversy arose in the camp.
Yeah.
What is that?
There's something in there that shouldn't be in there.
We put all of our stuff in the box.
At the bottom, there's a granola bar.
Somebody just needs to fess up.
Everybody is adamantly denying it.
And of course, I want to know who took the candy bar.
Jeanne saw the little candy bar thing inside of Janet's bag.
With all eyes looking at her,
Janet denied any involvement.
I don't know who smuggled it in, but it wasn't me.
So if you're going to vote me off,
that's fine, as long as it's not for that reason,
because if it is, you're making a mistake.
For immunity, the men and women
faced off in their first mental challenge.
How many rungs are on the outside ladder?
Deena says eight, Rob says six.
Correct answer: six.
And the men celebrated their first victory...
sending the women to their first Tribal Council,
where Janet was the second person voted out of the Amazon.
Janet. That's four and that's enough.
Need to bring me your torch.
We'd gone, you know,
six days without food.
We were having trouble getting water boiled,
so we were barely drinking.
And then hard, hard physical labor all day long.
Janet, the tribe has spoken.
Here, these 23-year-olds were dropping like flies,
so I had to wonder, at 46, realistically here,
how much longer could I really take out there?
So, I think this is a midlife crisis gone extremely wrong.
That night, after Tribal Council, the women had
trouble sleeping, as the Amazon came alive.
There's been a lot more,
um, noises in the jungle tonight.
And I just saw something over there.
I did hear something over where our food is.
Heidi heard the same thing.
She got up.
She had to go to the bathroom.
The lantern's on the box.
I've never heard any noises this close
to our camp before, and that just creeps me out.
I really think that they're just getting used to us.
I mean, it's definitely an animal.
It's so close to our camp.
I'll go with you. I'll bring my machete.
What is it going to do?
Okay.
Something's breathing over there.
What's that?
Literally, bats are swooping down at our head.
So I'm a little freaked out right now.
And I've really got to go to the bathroom.
- You afraid? - Yeah.
So we run over, trying to get away from the bats...
I just— I see something glowing out there.
and here are these sets
of glowing eyes just staring at us.
- You see it? - Yep.
Do you want to go down there to go to the bathroom?
You can hold it?
Yes.
I'm sorry, I'm just a little freaked.
- Come on, let's walk down here. - No.
Come down here and I'll dig a hole.
No.
There is a million and one things
to fear in this environment.
And when it's in the dark, it's just scary.
By day seven, Roger and Daniel weren't getting along.
Oh, Daniel...
can you get us some water?
Sure.
I don't, I don't...
If you, if you—
I'll go do it.
It really got me hot.
I— tempted to slap the kid around, to be honest with you.
Roger— he just barks orders all the time.
I mean, he's not very friendly about it.
He just tells people what to do.
Uh, I'm not really speaking to Roger right now.
As Tambaqui was coming apart,
Jaburu was coming together.
So I think we should, uh, maybe initiate a leader.
I, um, initiate Deena.
Do you accept the offer?
You know, I'm gonna—
All I want to do is we delegate the tasks
that are important for the day.
I didn't take that with open arms
because that puts a big target on your body.
And who wants to get voted out of the game?
But, yes, I am going to do it.
Deena's leadership sparked new life into
the women's camp, and they began to work in harmony.
The net effect of the leadership has been that
the camp looks like it's organized.
Like, it looks as if somebody, yes, lives there and cares about
their environment and is going to take care of it.
It was what we needed to get us at par,
so that we could play the game against the men.
- Go! - Here it is.
Don't pull it yet.
Working together as a tribe,
the women claimed their fourth victory in five challenges
by winning immunity...
Push it back!
Immunity, Jaburu!
sending Tambaqui back to Tribal Council,
where Daniel was the third person voted out.
Dan. That's four votes, that's enough.
Need to bring me your torch.
I've never gone camping before in my life, you know.
I'm a city slicker, and I hated camping.
I would never, ever go on a camping trip voluntarily.
It was really for pure ego.
You know, I wanted to be the first Asian guy to win, but...
I'm sitting here, so that goal didn't get accomplished.
It's time for you to go.
Bruce Lee once said,
"Low aim, not failure, is the crime."
You know, it's sometimes even glorious to fail.
On day ten, the younger women of Jaburu
sought to solidify their positions.
The older women might try
to weed out the meek or prissy.
So I figured,
with my closeness to Deena,
that if we could swing Deena's vote,
then it was, you know, game on.
I just need to know.
Yes.
The other girls and I
talked very briefly,
and it just seemed natural to me
that that would be a great alliance.
We need four.
Three fish for dinner.
Small but edible.
Cool.
Over at Tambaqui,
Rob was worried about his position.
I would say that maybe Matt
is the hardest worker in the tribe.
I work very hard, but I'm not nearly as strong
as anybody else in the tribe.
I try to do as much, as much as I can,
but there's only so much that-that I can do.
All right, Alex, watch it, watch it.
I'm going to bring this in here.
One thing that I try to do consistently through this game
is never be lazy,
be, uh, well-liked within the tribe, and
scheme and plot my fanny off.
Those look pretty-pretty, uh, tasty there, Rob.
Yeah.
I'm a little nervous right now
that Alex, Dave, Butch and Roger are contemplating
making me the next person to be voted out.
What makes me think that I'm the next one to go is just the way
that Alex, Roger, Butch and Dave
are always together and how useful Matt is at catching fish
and doing things around the camp.
I think that maybe they're going to weigh it out
and decide that the guy that does
the wisecracks isn't as useful
as the guy that catches the fish.
At the reward challenge, the men were fired up.
Nobody touch it.
Cheer it on, fellas.
Yeah!
Burn! Burn! Burn!
Tambaqui wins reward!
While Tambaqui toasted their victory...
Oh, yeah, boys.
Tambaqui!
Jaburu returned to camp empty-handed.
And Shawna was ready to call it quits.
After we lost that Coke, it took everything in my entire brain
to not make my body just want to just sit on the sand
and be, like, I have to take a three-hour break.
I don't see myself lasting for 30 more days.
Are you at this point right this very moment
where you say, "I want out"?
If we were going tonight,
I would be very tempted to get out.
Yeah, I don't know that I could do it.
Shawna sat out the next challenge and watched...
No! No!
- Ah! Damn you! - (groaning)
as the men fished their way to immunity.
Tambaqui, congratulations.
Yeah!
Even though Shawna was weak,
the alliance of Deena, Heidi and Jenna
planned to keep her trapped in the Amazon.
I feel a tremendous amount of compassion for her.
But at the same time, you have an agreement.
And I don't want to get screwed to help her out.
Joanna is clearly
the most physical person that we have on this team.
She has too much power, too much force.
Shawna, guess what?
You're not in charge here.
It's about the core alliance.
Suck it up, baby, 'cause you're along for the ride.
At Tribal Council, despite Shawna's weakness,
the alliance voted Joanna out of the tribe.
Joanna. Need to bring me your torch.
I didn't expect to be voted off that night.
I knew that
Deena would come after me
because I was— my presence was very strong there.
Joanna, the tribe has spoken.
The water's nasty, I'm struggling,
I don't have any help out here,
nobody's fishing, everybody's laying down looking crazy,
it's hot, I'm hungry.
I felt like I was playing the physical aspect,
the survival aspect of the game by myself.
The next morning, Christy proved
the women could still provide for themselves.
Today, I kind of felt like,
kind of cool, you know, and so I go out, I go fishing,
and bam, bam, bam, I catch fish,
and I provide lunch for the tribe.
And it really does
make you feel good, you know.
It feels good knowing that you can actually
get food for somebody, you know?
So we can survive without Joanna.
Jeanne and Shawna are commiserating.
Is that like, discussing, arguing?
No, feeling really bad for each other.
Really? -"I'm sorry that Joanna's gone, I'm sorry
- that you're still here." - Still here.
"I never would have let you stay here."
Blah, blah, blah.
Commiserating?
Commiserate.
I'm not going to roll over and die because
Joanna's not here.
I mean, I think you should have been voted off.
As much as I love you— I think you're the greatest kid
in the world, you know I do.
No. Actually, it's a good point.
I know exactly what you're saying now...
I think we need as much energy as we can get.
- And you don't have it. - I agree. I agree.
Maybe the tribe has a plan that they didn't share with me.
Frustrated by Joanna's departure,
Jeanne cooked up a plot for revenge.
Mentally, I'm right there.
Joanna leaving made me sad, but you know what?
In honor of her, I'm going to kick their butts.
She would like that.
One meatball.
I, uh, cooked the fish, and then they all wanted manioc.
And I opened the lid on our container of manioc,
and it contained
pink fuzz, green fuzz.
I saw
white maggots, ants, skinny little worms.
Half the barrel is mush.
Good eating. Good eating, folks.
And I knew how to cook it so that they would like it.
I went in, got a little of the mushy stuff,
dipped it into the crunchy stuff.
Got a little green mold, a little pink mold
and kind of rolled it all together into
little hot dog, bite-size morsels, and...
kind of dried them slowly over the ashes.
Meatballs are cooking, girls.
All right!
And they're gonna be... great!
Yay.
- We're gonna have a good meal. Oh, it's gonna taste
like beef stew and your mom's biscuits.
They devoured them.
They thought they were sesame treats.
Excellent.
- God bless you. Mmm, Jeanne!
- This is the ticket. This really is too good.
I wouldn't eat one if you paid me.
Hopefully, they'll all keel over.
- They might. - Mm, wonderful.
- I could eat this all day. - Mm-hmm.
In the morning, the tribes received treemail.
"Prepare to have a little fun.
Unfortunately, for only one."
"The map will show the place you're after.
Send your youngest for wine and laughter."
No way. Is that just— Jenna's going?
So Dave and Jenna met for date night in the jungle.
Oh, my God. - (Dave laughs)
We were so excited
to actually talk to someone of the opposite sex.
We were, like, ready to just, like, chat away.
Jenna did go into great detail
about the status of her tribe.
Heidi, who I've become really close to...
- I expected that. - She's, like,
really, really upbeat all the time,
and Shawna's falling apart.
She doesn't want to be here.
We just keep her on the tribe.
However, you gotta think, do you want
to be revealing all this about... about your tribe?
I'm telling you all this stuff, but, oh, well.
The next morning, Dave and Jenna's getaway
took a turn.
Good morning.
- We had fun. Yeah?
- We, really... - Uh-huh.
And we didn't... we didn't hold back anything.
We told it all.
We pretty much know everything about each other.
Well, I am glad to hear
that you guys shared a little bit of information,
and that information's gonna come in real handy.
We're gonna have a little draft,
and you two are in charge of picking new tribes.
You go first.
Heidi.
I'm gonna have to pull Alex.
- Butch. - Deena. Deena by far.
When they were done, Dave had picked Heidi,
Christy and Jeanne to join him at Tambaqui.
Honey, we're home!
And Alex, Rob and Matthew went to Jaburu,
where their arrival had an immediate impact on Shawna.
- Yay! - Yeah!
It's amazing what a little bit
of testosterone can do for somebody.
Boys come into the camp, and Shawna is 180 degrees better.
Hi. (giggles)
How are you?
We all stink really bad. Hey.
Oh, it's okay. How are you?
Good. - Hey.
- This is nice... - (indistinct conversation)
At Tambaqui, Christy was made to feel right at home.
The one thing I like about this tribe is,
they're very aware that, okay, we got somebody who's deaf.
So, I'm making an extra effort to make sure
she knows what's going on.
That way, she can be included
in the evening conversations,
and make her feel even more welcome.
I'm just really glad to be in a group
where this lantern is useful, you know.
In that Jaburu tribe, it was never possible.
So I really, you know...
And me feeling comfortable, I will definitely do,
put my 110% into this tribe.
At the immunity challenge,
former tribe mates squared off against each other.
That's it, Tambaqui. Don't quit.
But it was the new Jaburu that took home the immunity idol.
- Jaburu wins immunity! - (cheering)
- Yeah! - Yeah!
Yeah!
Facing a vote split down gender lines,
Dave approached Heidi.
Um... I picked you because
I want to carry you over into the merge.
If you were in my position, what do you think you would do?
I'd come... I'd come with us.
I am really in, just, a rock and a hard stone.
I mean, I am just right there.
I am, like, the key factor right now
to this whole voting process tonight.
At Tribal Council, Heidi sided with the men,
and Jeanne was voted out of the tribe.
Heidi sold herself off, and I knew she was gonna.
I had this deep-down feeling she's gonna turn on me.
I, obviously, was intimidating to her and some of the guys.
I thought I could change.
I thought I could be sneaky and cunning and...
and maybe shirk some responsibilities
like the others, but I-I realized that
I just couldn't do that.
Jeanne, the tribe has spoken.
I was out there hunting, I was gathering.
And I wanted to play the game hard and fair,
and it didn't work that way.
By Day 16, everyone at Jaburu was getting along.
I felt like a lot of the other people on the other tribe
definitely were, you know, very tactical and strategic
about the type of information they released.
But coming here, it's just like, man,
it was like a breath of fresh air.
Because girls are different than boys. -Yeah.
And Alex and Shawna were getting close.
Okay, you know, Shawna, that I'm never gonna stop you,
so if you're done, you can, you can stop whenever you want,
but I'm not gonna ever tell you to stop. (laughs)
Is there romance in the air?
There's definite interest in the air,
there's definite flirting in the air.
It's great. It feels good.
I feel like I'm at the drive-in movie,
and I'm... you guys are like the couple,
and I'm, like, "Hey, guys, can I tag along?"
Over at Tambaqui,
the tribe was coming together in their own way.
Now, do you have headphones when you listen to music?
- Rather than... Um, yeah. Really loud.
- Yeah. -So, it's embarrassing to, like, take them anywhere.
'Cause everyone is, like, "Shh! Turn it down," you know.
The new Tambaqui, I think, is coming together.
It has been an interesting couple days.
Old alliances are kind of...
melting into a-a more: "We gotta focus on the team."
I've come to many a stoplight,
and the car next to me, I mean, it sounds like it's...
- ... boom! But some deaf people
really overdo it.
They add, like, bass,
and like "a-boom, ba-boom, ba-boom,"
and then they get the techno music, and it's just, like,
"boom, boom, boom" the whole time.
We really don't want
to lose no tribe member because we've,
you know, bonded pretty well,
and we really like, um, everybody on our team.
Uh, Christy, uh— we've really, um...
I think she's... We've made her feel good about herself.
Okay, do you guys want me to teach you a new sign?
- Yes. -Yeah. -You know, come up with, like, a new cheer?
- Yup. - "Tambaqui" is a fish.
So this is "fish."
Hold one hand...?
It doesn't matter what hand,
but, um, kind of like, you know.
They said, "Yeah, you know, it'd be cool if we had
some signs," you know, or they could learn some signs,
and I was, like, "Yeah, man."
Like, that is so great that people really want to,
like, learn, 'cause, I mean,
I'm able to contribute that, you know?
And I was, like, "Okay, so if we could have a cheer,
"how could I come up with, like,
a little, like, name thing
for the team?" And then "Tambaqui..."
- So we got "team." - Mm-hmm.
I like that. - Fish— "Tambaqui."
And they all practiced it, and
they would, like, tap me, and be, like, "This, or this or...?"
You know? I'm, like, "Yeah." Fix it up.
- More. - Did I do it right?
Okay, you're going like this. Okay, see how I'm doing it?
I'm doing it... more of like a... Yeah.
Drawing a circle around.
And-And that made me feel so good.
Just, like, "Yes!"
Tambaqui is my home now.
I think we are a tribe.
I like that.
Team Fish.
I like that.
I see no reason why we need to add anything more.
Survivors ready! Go!
At the immunity challenge,
Tambaqui gnawed their way to victory.
By a tiny margin, Tambaqui wins immunity.
Tambaqui!
So Jaburu went to Tribal Council,
where a rejuvenated Shawna said she wanted to stay.
You are in this for the long haul, then?
Are you here?
Of course I'm in it for the long haul.
But the tribe had other plans.
Shawna, the tribe has spoken.
While Alex helplessly looked on,
Shawna was voted out of the Amazon.
As a 23-year-old,
I went in thinking, you know,
"Of course I'm a bad-ass,"
and what I found out in the end was this
total facade that I had, that I was such a rock.
Well, I'm disappointed that I physically gave in,
and I got the label of being
kind of a pantywaist, so, basically,
when it comes down to it, I dug my own grave.
This is the hardest thing
I've ever done in my entire life.
"Welcome. You have treemail."
On Day 19, the arrival
of treemail sent both camps packing.
There it is.
As Jaburu prepared to leave,
they plotted their next move.
You know what? We're here.
We're down with Jaburu, right?
- Hell, yes. - We're here...
Yeah, you guys have really...
Dave, Roger, Butch.
Amen to that, "sistah."
Jenna, thanks for bringing us all together.
- Yeah. - Oh, no problem.
All for one...
One for all.
The tribes paddled to a new location,
where they were informed
they would merge into one tribe.
You started this as a tribe of women and a tribe of men.
Today you will form one final tribe.
Jaburu and Tambaqui are no more.
They were given new buffs
and sent to their new home...
- No, I'll help you out. - ... where they found a feast
- waiting for them. - Hot dogs!
- Oh, no! - (all shouting, screaming)
Dig in!
Got any ketchup?
They picked a new tribe name.
We have some ideas for a new tribe name.
Jacaré...
- Jacaré! - ... which is Portuguese
- for "alligator." - For "caiman."
Hey, here's to the new tribe, and here's to new friends.
- Yay! - New friends, new tribe. Cheers.
Cheers.
As members of the new
Jacaré tribe got to know each other,
Rob got to know Heidi.
What we're gonna do— we're gonna split it up like...
like a calendar and day one, two, three.
'Cause Rob and I were the great counters,
you know, for both tribes.
I have been working today
on painting the story of Survivor: Amazon.
Heidi has an amazing body. She... has...
both natural and manmade beauty qualities
to her presence.
The arrow is the guy.
The arrow looks like a... - Right.
- Yes. Just make a big circle.
Day One: men versus the women.
This is the hottest girl I've ever talked to,
even though she's wearing a retainer all the time.
How about on the days that there were challenges,
we make... we-we box it out a little bit like this,
to indicate what team won the challenge?
Rob and I together are pretty creative
about this whole calendar of events.
We both know, like, seriously know,
day by day, of what has happened in both the tribes.
- Okay, so... -You guys won the challenge, though, then we...
- Then that's blue. - The box... Blue.
And then you guys won the reward challenge for the, in the box.
- Day Seven. - Yup.
It's very exciting for me
that... to have a chance to be
in such close contact with this girl,
and not have to have a handful of singles in my hand.
- Where did Roger go? At Jacaré,
the tribe enjoyed getting acquainted,
but Roger brought an end to all the fun.
We had a tendency to be festive all afternoon,
forgetting the fact that we had to get a shelter built.
Um, can I start putting the floorboards down?
Well, we got that... we have that under control.
Helping Rob split the fronds would be really great.
Okay? Can you lift...?
I'm not working on the shelter,
which really pisses me off because
I really would like to be a part it.
Roger felt
everything was falling into place.
Yeah, we got six guys and four girls,
and our original game plan was,
the six guys against...
against, the, uh... against the girls,
and you know, it should be, just pick 'em off.
But he was unaware of the forces working against him.
But you understand what we have to do.
We have to start picking off the stronger males.
Yeah, but please let Roger go first, please.
Oh, no, no, no, no. No, no...
I don't care what you want after that, but...
No. - But then after Roger, who?
I don't know, but he's got to go.
Roger is of the belief
that we are all, um... all the guys are together, and, um,
unless he wins individual immunity,
he'll be the first one to go.
Feeling confident at the immunity challenge,
Roger jumped in early.
All right, I've had it.
Roger has given up.
With little fanfare, he's out of the game.
Deena won the first individual immunity.
Congratulations.
- All right, Deena. Yeah! - (whooping and cheering)
At Jacaré's first visit
to Tribal Council, Roger felt safe...
You gotta feel a little bit confident.
I would say, yeah, I-I probably do.
You know, obviously, if I really felt
that I needed that immunity, I would have given it my all.
and was blindsided
when seven votes came up with his name on them.
I was a cocky...
You know, and I still am.
You never lose that self-confidence,
that positive, you know?
I'm a Type-A personality; I am a leader, I don't sit back.
I'm opinionated, and that never
goes away.
Roger, the tribe has spoken.
I came to win the game, but
I wasn't deceptive enough.
I should've bit my tongue and laid low.
I should've not exuded that confidence.
And, uh, I've no one to blame but myself.
They were better than I am at the game.
The next morning, Dave pondered his new situation.
What happened last night
was an interesting turn of events.
All my stability and everything
has now been turned upside down,
because I did put my roots into an alliance with Roger.
Now...
I gotta play the game according to how things are right now.
Dave tried to prove
he was still valuable to the tribe.
Hopefully, just being a hard worker and dedicated,
motivated and fun to be with
will keep me around for a little bit longer
and start building, uh, some alliances
with the people who are left.
That evening, while tending the fire,
Dave pleaded his case
to Christy and tried to swing her vote.
I felt guilty in a lot of the way I acted at Tambaqui.
That's kind of why I wanted
to have fire duty with you tonight.
(whispering): I voted for you last time and I felt bad.
You know, at my point,
it's cleaning the slate, making sure
that nobody's harboring any hard feelings,
and, uh, also, you know, maybe get a vote or two.
I'm a little stronger than some people, so I'm competition.
Yeah.
People want to get rid of me.
And, uh, it kind of sucks.
Shortly thereafter,
Christy said how much she loved to dance.
I happen to also like to dance,
and when I asked her if she knew how to swing dance,
she responded that she only knew how to salsa.
(whispering): Swing dancing is on six beats
instead of four beats, right?
Okay.
So I took the opportunity
to teach her a little swing dancing.
- (snoring) -The guy leads, and the girl follows,
and it has to work like that,
because if we both try to lead, it's not gonna work.
- (Christy whispers) - Right.
So, in this case, it works pretty good
'cause I know what I'm doing,
and you don't know what you're doing.
So, for you, the beat is one, two...
All right.
Over here, like this.
- Piece of cake, right? No problem? -Yeah.
So now that we got that...
Or we can do this.
Yeah. Not too bad.
Yeah.
It was a fun fire watch, you know?
It was entertaining.
Dave, in general, seemed like a really good guy,
but I-I think he was exaggerating a little bit
on how much he really appreciates me.
That's it. So now you're a pro.
If you really appreciate me,
maybe you could show that a little bit throughout the game
instead of, like, the day before
you think you're going to get voted off.
At the immunity challenge, Dave needed to win.
It's payback.
But his hopes were smashed
when he was taken out early.
Jenna was the last one standing.
So at Tribal Council, Dave made a final plea to the tribe.
These next three days
are... are important to me, and, um,
and I would like to spend them with the-the eight people
that are sitting down here in front of me.
But it wasn't enough,
as eight votes made him the first member of the jury.
I guess that's what really kind of caught me
surprised when I finally realized that,
you know, I am perceived as a threat.
It was, "Wait a minute. Now I'm the bad guy."
Dave, the tribe has spoken.
My case is a prime example how it is very difficult
to plan any more than a few days in advance.
I miscalculated and found myself walking on thin ice,
and it broke and sent me home.
By Day 25, the alliance of Deena, Rob, Alex,
Jenna and Heidi started to unravel.
Heidi, tell me how well you think
you're gonna be able to advance if-if Matt
or Alex is in this game?
Matt's not in the picture.
I understand that.
What if Matt wins immunity tomorrow?
It seems to me, if Matt wins immunity, then Alex has to go.
That evening, Heidi went straight to Jenna.
Alex and Jenna were my original alliance.
I'm not gonna turn my back on them.
So, I mean, I just told Jenna about it,
and I knew she'd speak to Alex about it.
She's... turned on us.
So, we need to get her off.
Deena stabbed us all in the back because she's being selfish.
I'm really pissed at her.
Backed into a corner,
Alex decided to turn the tables on Deena.
And so I grab Rob, and I was, like,
"Rob, dude, what's going on?"
She wants you done sooner than later.
You know what? Here's my plan then.
We keep Christy, and we keep Butch.
And we get rid of Deena.
At the challenge, the tribe's appetite
for immunity was put to the test.
Deena felt confident in her position,
so instead of battling Matthew in the final round...
Survivors ready. Go.
she gave up her chance at immunity.
- Yeah. - Wow.
- You are safe from the vote tonight. -Cool.
Deena's decision cost her the game,
and at Tribal Council, she became
the second member of the jury.
The moment that I got there, it was game on.
People are jockeying for position.
It gets very intense,
and it's okay to be downright dirty.
The tribe has spoken.
Alex clearly had greater influence
on the girls than I did.
I thought I had it all under control and,
you know, in one fleeting moment,
I showed my hand, and my house of cards came crashing down.
Seven castaways remain.
For Rob, Jenna, Matthew, Christy,
Butch, Heidi and Alex,
the stakes have never been higher.
How will their decisions affect the jury?
And what adventures await them over the next 12 days?
Join us and find out who will outlast all the rest
to become the sole survivor.
Stay tuned for scenes from our next episode.
Next time on Survivor:
The alliance of four flaunts their power.
Jenna and Heidi, Rob and I
have the luxury of doing a little less work.
We hold a majority, and the other three know it.
That's just... ridiculous.
And an emotional event leads to tears.
- I'm sorry. When she started crying,
I started crying, because I was so happy for her.
Uh-uh. I'm not going any farther.
Ah!
Come on, Christy.
