Previously, on Survivor:
Rob created a chain of command
to keep Matt and Butch busy.
Butch is on, seriously, on a need-to-know basis.
We gotta be a chain,
from, like, a chain-link.
Matt was afraid of being viewed as a threat,
but it didn't matter when Alex hit the mark
- and won the reward challenge. - Alex is drinking coffee!
And he invited Jenna to enjoy coffee and pastries.
- This... is so nice. - Mm. Mm.
To you, for winning.
Back at camp, Deena was concerned about Alex's victory.
We don't have a chance if Alex is in this game.
With Alex and Jenna back from the reward,
Heidi revealed Deena's plan.
I'm not gonna turn my back on them.
That night, Heidi was bit by a spider.
It's getting bad.
So she had to be carried
to the immunity challenge by Alex,
where the tribe got a taste of the Amazon.
Keep it down.
When a live beetle larva was more
- than Deena could stomach... - That is just nasty-ass!
- Go! -... she felt secure enough to give up immunity...
You are safe from the vote tonight.
- Cool. - Nice effort.
but was shocked
at Tribal Council when her alliance of Alex,
Heidi, Jenna and Rob turned the tables on her.
Ninth person voted out
and the second member of our jury: Deena.
The tribe has spoken.
Seven remain.
Who will be voted out tonight?
The buff— the multipurp—
- the multipurpose accessory. - No kidding.
I still haven't worn it as a tube top.
You wear it as a tube top, I'll wear it as a skirt.
- I know, that'd be fun. - Then we'll be
- like the Bobbsey Twins. - (laughs)
Jenna and Heidi and Rob and I are having a blast.
Game-wise, it's working out great for us,
'cause we have a majority,
and as long as we control immunity,
it's the four of us that are the final four.
Catch any fish today?
No.
One of them's gonna get fired
- if they don't soon. - In three days?
Yeah. They're falling behind on what
they need to be doing around here.
There's no firewood,
- there's no fish. - (laughing)
They need to get their acts together. -Yeah.
I'm booked all day, thinking of funny things to say.
And I'm booked all day trying
to figure out a really cool outfit to wear to the challenge.
I'm enjoying this game a lot.
I mean, I knew that I would meet cool people;
I never thought that I would meet people that
I consider friends that I want to continue to be friends with.
Like, I consider you three, like,
- my best friends, like, That's it.
in and out of the game, though.
And not just here; like, at home.
I'm an only child; I'm so close with my mom and dad.
Like, I just sit at home and chill with them,
like, almost every night of the week
and just eat and have fun.
I miss them.
Plus, my mom's not well.
I left her, and she's...
you know, hopefully doing really well while I'm gone.
Jenna's mom is sick.
She has cancer. I mean,
we haven't heard from our families
in gosh knows how long. (laughs)
So, I mean, it's scary.
And Jenna's just worried sick.
I think about them often,
but it's nice to have a core group of people
that I love here, also,
that's also made me not have to think about them as often.
That really helps; it really does.
It's a little bit like...
and I hate to say it, but it's a little bit like high school.
Jenna and Heidi, Rob and I have
the luxury of doing a little less work
because we hold a majority, and the other three know it.
I am a hard worker,
and I know I'm a hard worker and I don't mind working hard.
But sometimes it's, like, come on, get off your butt
and go and get some wood or go and try to do something.
And they just do jack ...
Hey!
What am I missing?
I find their behavior to be...
incomprehensible.
Maybe the final four will be made up
of Rob, Alex, Jenna and Heidi, but...
by betraying the other three members of the tribe
and treating them like dirt,
they've basically guaranteed
that myself, Butch and Christy will vote against them
if any one of them makes it to the final two.
That's just...
ridiculous.
Wait, hold on.
(laughs) We have money!
- It is! - (happy screaming)
Oh, my God!
Oh, my God! I have money!
Awesome.
I'm so excited!
Now, read— read it.
Oh, my God, I am so excited,
I can't even control myself.
"Easy come, easy go,
"you're invited to come and play, you will compete
to get some treats, but soon the offer goes away."
Does that mean we all
get something, or is this a joke?
The treemail said something like
they're gonna auction off, you know,
make sure you place your bets wisely for food.
- $500. - Wow!
I'm tempted to say screw the food; this is,
- like, my life savings. - (laughter)
I said, do we get to keep the extra?
Ditto.
Come on in.
Have a seat.
Welcome to the Survivor auction.
Very simple ground rules:
You each have $500.
There will be a limited number of items.

Mmm...
Mm-mm-mm.
- Why not? - You gonna trade?
Uh, yeah, no, I'm gonna go with what I bought.
You're gonna stay with what you bought.
You know, Jeff, you're just so tough on me here, man.
Go with your gut, Alex. What's your gut saying?
I'll stick with what I bought.
Okay, for $240.
Come on up, put your money down.
$240.
Okay, $240.
Well, here's what you turned down.
All right, what did I turn down?
- Might as well take a look at that. -Sure.
- (Jenna gasps) Lasagna.
Oh, yeah, baby! Some Italian food!
- That's rough. So, odds are what?
I got screwed. But, hey, you never know.
But you're familiar with it.
Hey, I actually love this stuff.
- It's all good— Manioc. - What is it? -Manioc.
Oh, my!

in bed, yeah, uh, but that doesn't happen
- very often. - No, it's going to happen today.
- Oh! - Your own bed
- and pillow to take with you. - You go, Butch.
- Oh, yeah, Butch. - You go.

- Good job, Butch. - Well done, Butch.

- That's a good deal. - Good job.
- Very well done.
- Dig into that for me. - Oh, I'll be happy to.
- I would be happy to. - Pick it up with your hands
and take a chunk off.
Oh!
Now, that's meat.
Mmm!
Another slightly different item.
Some of you may be really into this item.
Others may say, "You know what? I'm doing okay."
Inside these pouches, a letter from home.
- (gasps) - For each person.
Oh, God.
- One of you will get it— news from home. -Oh, God.
So why don't you take a second, count your money,
decide what this is worth to you.
Inside these pouches, a letter from home.
Let's start the bidding at $80.
- $80. - $80 to Christy.
- $100. - $100 to Jenna.
- $200. - $200 to Heidi.
- $240. - $240 to Christy.
- $260. - $260 to Heidi.
- $300. - $300 to Christy,
who has had no food, still bidding $300
- on a letter from home. - $300.
- I don't have enough money. - $300 to Christy.
- Going once. - $320.
$320. - $340.
$340 to Christy.
$340 to Christy— once, twice.
Sold.
Come get your letter from home.
$340. - (chuckles) I paid $340.
Right?
I'm sorry.
It's all right, Jenna. - Thanks.
It's okay.
Well, I don't want this to be a bad thing.
The auction's supposed to be fun.
I got these other letters here.
No reason we can't put another one up for bid.
But only if Christy's good with it,
because you paid a hefty price for your letter.
You're okay with me putting another one up?
Let's put another one up for bid.
Go for it, Jenna.
What do you want to start with?
$80.
I'll go $80.
- One. $100. - $100 to Heidi.
- I'll go $120. - $120 to Jenna.
I don't think I have anymore.
$120 to Jenna.
Once, twice.
Sold to Jenna. Letter from home.
All right.
Take this, and take a private moment later
- and read it. - Thanks, guys.
Not a bad way to spend an afternoon.
Have a little peanut butter and chocolate
and a little love from home.
Yeah. Thank you.
Auction over.
Thank you, guys.
Hope everybody had a good time.
Finish up your food.
You can head back to camp.
When she outbid Heidi,
I was like... (sighs)
I didn't have any money left to outbid her.
I was surprised that she did that, but not really.
That's okay.
My feeling was that Christy deserved the letter.
She's had a very bumpy ride, and I realize that it
would really elevate her spirits,
raise her spirits, and I felt she deserved it.
I thought Jenna was being selfish.
This is from a very good friend of mine.
Uh, I met her in high school.
Uh, her name's Jennifer,
and she is just an amazing person.
"I worry so much about you.
"Hope you're doing all right with those hearing people.
"If they're giving you problems,
"there's a whole other world
waiting for you when you come home."
I mean, I've been here 28 days,
and just reading these and knowing that there's people
out there that love me, it's just a...
such a great feeling.
Maybe I can't trust anybody out here,
but I definitely can trust people at home.
It shrunk. It's okay.
It shrunk.
- Her tumor shrunk 50%. - Nice.
It's almost gone.
She started crying because her mom had written
that the brain tumor had decreased by 50%.
I mean, it was just, like,
one of the greatest things.
I started crying because I was so happy for her.
That's fantastic. Yeah, it is.
Yeah, that's so great.
Hearing from my family—
my mom and dad— it's just...
better than anything I could've ever asked for.
It just helps you move on.
I just need to hear
about how they were and what they're doing,
and it's hard.
But I'm glad. It really was the best thing.
Yeah, that's so great.
- That's enough for me. That is so great.
- Thanks, guys. - That is so great.
- Thank you. - That is great.
There's a lot of meat on this one.
Yep, that's... that's a breakfast, dude.
That is a beautiful fish.
We haven't eaten that fish yet.
(whispering): I think that we've got a great shot
if we work on Rob today
and get him to come over to our side.
Right now is a critical time.
There are a number of subgroups that have formed.
One potential subgroup consists of Alex, Heidi and Jenna,
and then there's Rob.
(whispering): I think that if we can get Rob to join us,
that'll give us four powerful votes in Tribal Council.
It's got to be obvious to Rob that he's expendable if he...
if he aligns himself with Alex.
We don't want to get in too big of a hurry.
We don't want to rush this.
We don't want to try and get it all done right now,
because, then, sometimes it leaks out.
We can approach Christy later on.
I can do that very delicately.
Because, right now, I mean, she said
she doesn't trust anyone,
but I've had a lot of very good conversations
- with her, and I like her. - All right.
All right, let's get back, 'cause I don't want them
to come down and see us talking this close.
I think that we've got a great shot,
assuming, uh... once they join us.
Otherwise, Butch and I and Christy will go
over the next three Tribal Councils.
- How'd you sleep? - Slept well.
So, Rob, I was thinking,
if the four of us go to the final four,
I know that those two have sworn to each other
- they're never going to vote for each other. -Mm-hmm.
- So, the way I see it, - Mm-hmm.
if I win immunity, my vote goes for you,
and I'm sure that if you win immunity,
you're going to vote me off, and that's totally cool.
- I'm down. It's no worries. - Okay.
Alex's decision to tell me
that he was going to vote me out
at the final four is really
kind of curious.
I think it has to do with this idea
that we're all each other's best friends,
and even though I'm going to be voted out fourth,
I'm losing to three worthy players.
And if one of them wins immunity,
then that's a whole nother ball of wax,
and I don't know... I-I don't know what... what happens then.
But I'm just saying between you and I,
'cause we've been down with each other
from the very beginning, and I'll be honest with you
and just straight-up, and say...
you know, I mean, 'cause these two are never
going to vote against each other.
- They told me as much, you know? - Right.
They've sworn their lives to each other, so...
that's, you know...?
So whatever happens at four happens.
- You know what I mean? - Uh-huh.
Are you cool with that?
I realize that I've been coming off
as very sensitive with this group,
talking about how much I love them and how much
I'm going to be friends with them aft-after the game,
but I have never stopped playing Survivor,
and over my dead body will I turn over
and let somebody just pass me by.
All right, well, we'll cross that bridge
- when we come to it. - Yeah.
Bad news, guys. It's the S.A.T.s.
- (laughter) - Okay.
We received a very interesting,
uh, little treemail this morning.
There was big test booklets with each of our name on it,
and it said to answer all the questions,
to not discuss it with anyone.
"This is a confidential document
"which your fellow tribe members will never see,
so please answer honestly."
It's... obviously, it means some kind of a game
to see if your answers match
everyone else's— we think, anyway.
So it should be interesting,
when we get to the immunity challenge,
to see how our answers are used.
Some questions were easy to answer, like,
"Who is the biggest drama king or queen?" You know?
Then it got to some, like, "Who needs therapy?"
Or, "Who is the tribe slob?"
It made me more aware and, like,
really, like, think about who's who.
The treemail was sort of a slam book-type quiz.
Things like, uh,
"Who would you trust with your life?"
And a bunch of very interesting questions
that really got me thinking about a number of things.
Matt, this is the most important conversation...
Yep.
that I'm going to have with you
- in this entire game. - In this game.
Rob and I had perhaps the most
important conversation of the game.
He sat me down, and he said, "Matthew,
"I'm going to lay out what has happened
over the past couple of weeks."
- First, I need to come clean with you. -Okay.
Once we got to Jacaré,
I had been telling you
that the men were going to stick together
after we got rid of Roger and Dave,
- but that wasn't true. - Right.
I'm telling you this because I know that you trust me,
- Sure. -... and I don't want to tell you any more lies.
- Sure. Okay. -I swear that this is the honest truth.
He said that there had been a lot of, uh,
times when I had been in danger,
and people that I thought were on my side
were actually plotting against me,
and on several occasions,
he was included and was stringing me along.
Dude, you are... are the only person
I really trust in this game—
- and Butch now, because he has no options. -Well... yes.
That's going to change.
Rob can be very underhanded,
but I appreciated his honesty, and I appreciated
what he had to say next.
Alex is the power player here.
He thinks that you're the only person
that can beat him in a physical competition,
and that's why he... he wants you to go.
And Alex told me yesterday that when we get to four,
he's going to vote against me.
He said that to you?
Yes. This is what happens
- when people start being arrogant. -Right.
It's hubris.
I was appalled
at their audacity,
that they would go so far as to say that...
that Alex, Jenna, Heidi and Rob had wrapped it all up
and that it was merely a question
of which one of the four would win a million dollars.
Me, you, Butch and Christy vote out Alex tomorrow.
That's what I was thinking.
If Alex wins immunity, I don't know what we're going to do.
Well, dude, I'll give you my word...
I'll give you my word on my...
I'll give my only word I'm ever going to give in this game,
- Mm-hmm. -... and I... I appreciate what you've said.
I will not betray you. And you know what?
If it falls through, then I'm out,
- but you're it, so... - Right. Well, we're both...
- we're both out if this falls through. -Okay.
I do have a lot of survival skills,
but I am very ignorant when it comes to...
the game and how it's played.
Rob has zero survival skills,
but knows the game inside and out.
I can get... get Christy, no problem.
- She hates the two girls. - Alex? Okay, great.
- And I think she hates Alex, too. -Okay.
I am very aware
of the arrogance of my alliance,
and I think that is going to help me here.
And I don't think it's going to be very difficult
to sway the opinions of the three people
that aren't in this alliance.
What?
- What are you smiling about? - Nothing.
Christy is a sweet girl,
but she does not fit in with this group.
I have a feeling that a lot of girls
that were like Jenna and Heidi
were very mean to Christy in her... in her life.
So what are you thinking?
All I assume was the four of you guys
made a pact, and just, like, you guys
are going all the way, so I'm going to be gone
- in the next nine days. - Well, I just... I just...
I don't trust Alex anymore.
He's lied and changed his story,
a number of times, on what he's going to do.
So are you thinking of trying to get
Butch, Matt, you and me to vote them out?
- To vote off Alex. - Oh.
I-I-I'm up for voting Alex out.
- I knew you would be. - 'Cause I don't think
he plays fair, personally.
I'm, like, "Dude, I'm with you.
I'm with you to get Alex out," just because Alex...
Aah! I could care less about him, and I just...
Ugh! And he's... he's just, like...
drooling over Jenna and Heidi, and it's just, like, come on!
Then again, I don't know. Can you really trust Rob?
Is he really going to say that to make us feel like,
well, we actually have a chance,
or is he just trying to stir up something?
Come on in, guys.
Okay, at this point, down to seven people.
Your awareness
of what is going on within the tribe is critical.
The more you know about your tribe mates,
chances are, the better you're going to do.
That brings us to tonight's immunity challenge.
This morning, you were given questionnaires.
You answered the questions. I've tallied the results.
For the immunity challenge, you're going to have to guess
what the entire tribe said as a whole— what was the most
common answer given for each question.
First one to five wins.
First things first.
Take back immunity.
Immunity back up for grabs.
First question:
Who would you trust with your life?
Everybody reveal.
Correct answer's Butch.
How's that feel, Butch?
That's a pretty big statement.
Really makes me feel good, and I would...
I would, um, do my best to do it.
And you answered yourself.
Yes, I did.
Here's the score. Butch has one.
Rob has one. Jenna has one.
Next question:
Which tribe member uses sex appeal as a weapon?
Everybody ready?
Reveal.
Interesting. Jenna says Heidi.
- (laughing) - Heidi says Jenna.
Correct answer: Jenna.
Ooh.
- Surprise you? - A little.
I don't know if I should feel like people think I'm sleazy
or... that's really cool, but... oh, well.
But it's not new to you, right?
Being a young woman using sex
- with men to...? - Well, I-I...
I don't think it's done purposely
to try to, you know, snake anybody, but...
maybe by accident?
(chuckles) Said with a... an adorable smile.
See? That's the thing. Okay.
Heidi, Matthew, Christy and Alex each get a point.
Everybody now on the board with one.
Whose name came up the most in answer to this question?
Who is the most honest?
Everybody got it?
Reveal.
Matthew.
Matthew guessed himself. As a group,
everybody said Matthew was the most honest.
One point for Matthew.
Matthew now has two.
Everybody else has one. Playing to five.
Next question:
Of the seven of you, who did the group say
would never survive on their own?
Reveal.
Lot of Jennas up there.
Jenna is the correct answer.
- Jenna? -I have no idea why they said that, so...
- I have no comments. No comments?
- No. -You're using sex as a weapon.
You couldn't survive on your own.
I-I... I don't know.
- Personal opinion. Fair enough.
Matthew in the lead with three.
Rob, Christy, Butch have two.
Alex, Heidi and Jenna with one.
Who most needs therapy?
Reveal.
Matthew, once again, you guessed yourself, and you're right.
- (laughter) I'm a lunatic.
- What could I say? -Now, does it bother you that they
- all feel that, too? - No, 'cause we joke about it
all the time, and, uh, you know,
everyone thinks I'm crazy, so... what can I say?
All right. Well, Matthew, you're in the lead with four.
Rob right behind at three.
Everybody else: two.
Who would you most like to see pose nude in a magazine?
Very curious to see what you guys say on this one.
Reveal.
Lot of Heidis up there.
- Oh, great. Why Heidi, Alex?
Um, because when they got naked last time,
Jenna was right next to me, and Heidi was all the way
at the other end, so, you know,
I didn't get a good view all the way at the other end.
Heidi is the correct answer. -Dang it!
You said Jenna.
Surprised they said you?
Yes. She's gorgeous.
Make you want to strut your stuff a little more?
- No.No. No?
She's just as gorgeous.
- Aw.Here's who got it right.
- Heidi, you didn't. - I know.
Matthew, you didn't.
That puts Heidi in last place with two.
The leaders: Matthew and Rob tied at four.
Right behind them: Christy,
- Butch, Alex and Jenna, Yeah.
each with three.
Matt and Rob are one question away from immunity.
Who in the tribe do you have a crush on?
Whose name came up the most often in answer to the question,
who do you have a crush on?
For immunity— reveal.
Everybody said Heidi except Matthew.
Matthew guessed himself, and Heidi is correct.
Nice job, Rob. Rob wins immunity.
Congratulations, dude.
- Good job, Rob. - Good job, Rob.
- Well done. -Uh, can I come get that necklace?
- Come on over, brother. Good job, Rob.
It's about time, baby.
Turn around. Let me put this on you.
This is the best day of my life.
Yeah. Good job, Rob.
- Yay, Rob. Who knew you would be
the most in touch with the tribe?
Oh, uh, these are my people.
You are their leader now.
- You are safe from the vote, my friend. -Thank you.
But nobody else is. Everybody else vulnerable.
Rob is the only one guaranteed
a one-in-six shot at being the sole survivor.
You guys can head back to camp.
Last night— like, I-I breathed a little bit
of a sigh of relief last night
- when Rob won. When Rob won. Yeah.
It was like, okay, well, I know, you know,
that Matt's going to go next,
- and he's the biggest... - Yeah.
- he's the biggest physical threat. -Right.
Going to Tribal Council tonight, and, uh...
Jenna and Heidi and Rob and I
have decided that it's time for Matt to go home.
He's just way too big a physical threat.
Matt knows he's not going past five.
Uh-huh. And he did say it? - Pretty much.
Yeah, he's like, "You know, you make it
"to six or five, that's really cool, you know.
"I'm just going to try really hard at the immunities,"
and, well, I was like, "You should have tried
a little harder last night."
Tonight's Tribal Council could signal
one of the most important power swings in this game.
I could vote with Alex, Heidi and Jenna
and assure myself a solid position
in the final four of this game.
Well, when it comes down to the four of us,
two of us are just going to, you know...
whatever's going to happen is going to happen.
Well, you think it'll get... it'll get ugly...?
No, I-I don't think... (stammers)
Like... like people cutting side deals and stuff?
No, I don't think so.
We've been honest with each other to this point.
- Good. - Why... you know, why stop now?
- That's how I'd like to keep it. -Yeah.
Or a more intriguing option might be
to vote with Christy, Matt and Butch,
but the downside to that would be to lose the trust
of all these people that I've come so far with.
It's possible to play the game without hurting anybody
- in this group. - Mm-hmm.
I'm turning my back on three people
who potentially would be on the jury,
three people that are definitely not
going to vote for me in the final two.
Look at those teeth.
Look at that mouth on this baby.
- That's so awful. - This looks like a prehis...
I never liked fish before.
This looks like a prehistoric, uh, fish.
Very pretty.
So you spoke to Rob.
- It's going to be good? - Yeah.
Keep it quiet.
Tonight is going to be a great night.
I've got a strong agreement with Rob.
He really is the linchpin in our plot
this evening to dethrone Alex.
But Rob can be very devious.
Rob has betrayed
a number of people to get where he is today.
Now bring in the members of our jury—
Dave and the newest member, Deena,
voted out at the last Tribal Council.
30 days.
The seven of you have lasted in the Amazon 30 days.
Congratulations.
Thanks.
Sadly, for one of you,
30 days is as good as it's going to get.
You'll become the third member of our jury.
That is what is at stake tonight.
Matthew, are you surprised at how well
you're doing after a month out here?
Yeah. I mean, I had a pretty rough start.
I had very little energy for a couple of weeks,
and I came back, and yeah,
I'm surprised that, uh, my health is still intact.
Heidi, other than
a few spider bites and things like that,
you're doing relatively well.
The first week was rough,
and I thought, "Okay, if I can make it through this,
I can make it through anything."
And, uh, I did, and I'm still here
and feeling really, really good.
Alex, you gotta be feeling pretty good
about how well you're doing right now.
You still look good.
You got a smile on your face.
30 days— not bad.
I'm feeling pretty good. Um...
I've had my rough spots out here,
but yeah, I'm feeling really good about, uh,
how well I'm doing and how good I'm feeling after 30 days.
Christy, how about for you?
Now that you've weathered an entire month out here,
these last nine days— (splutters)-- piece of cake?
A piece of cake.
I can totally do it.
Let me bring up something
I'm noticing sitting here.
Jenna and Heidi, you have a star—
I think a star— on your face, and you have a heart.
- It's a sun. It's a sunshine.
It's a sun. Okay.
Are you at all concerned that by tattooing yourself
with one other person, you are in a sense saying to the group,
"Well, I'm tight with Jenna, so just know that."
It's not a concern because, at this point in time,
certain people bond more closely.
You know, not just me and Heidi, you know;
maybe a couple other people, too.
Butch, is it a risky move to make
a demonstrative display on your face like that?
Um, sometimes I would think it is, but this time,
I mean, they're just... they're just together.
They, um... we're included, sometimes,
in some talks or casual conversation.
We'll make comments, but on a whole,
they're in there talking a lot together.
Rob, is it important in this game
to really know your tribe mates, or is it only important
to know the people you're aligned with?
I think that the biggest part of this game
that often gets overlooked
is interpersonal relationships, and not necessarily
the people that you say, "Okay, these are my friends."
It's getting to understand what's going through the heads
of everybody that's around in the game.
Heidi, would you be somewhat surprised
if you were voted out tonight?
Yes.
Hmm. Alex, be a little bit surprised
- if tonight it's you? Sure.
I'd be pretty surprised if I got voted out.
Christy.
I would not be surprised in a heartbeat.
Rob, you're wearing the immunity necklace.
I know you don't want to give it away.
Rob is the only one you can't vote for.
Everybody else is on the block. It's time to vote.
Christy, you're up.
He crossed me once.
I forgave him.
He crossed me twice.
I offered reconciliation.
His reign is over.
You're way too much of a threat,
and, uh, it's time for you to go.
Take it easy, buddy.
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.
Alex.
Two votes Alex.
"Matteo." Matt.
Matt. That's two votes Matt,
two votes Alex.
Matt. Three votes Matt,
two votes Alex.
Alex.
Three votes Alex, three votes Matt.
I'll read the last vote.
Tenth person voted out of the tribe
and the third member of our jury:
Alex.
Need to bring me your torch.
Alex, the tribe has spoken.
Take it easy, you guys.
Good luck. Good luck, dude.
Well, judging by the looks on your faces,
I'd say that tonight's vote
was certainly a surprise to at least a few of you.
I guess there is a lot of talking
to be done, once you get back to camp.
You guys can head back.
Good night.
Stay tuned for scenes from our next episode.
Next time on Survivor:
Things start to get ugly at Jacaré.
You don't care about personal relationships.
You just care about yourself.
Please feel free to write R-O-B
on your parchment tomorrow night.
Until a reward challenge changes the mood.
One of you will win a visit from your loved one.
Wow. Uh, you guys got me.
I don't know who on my alliance flipped on me.
I-I think it was probably Rob.
Hey, you know, I played the game
as best I could, and, uh,
apparently, I was the biggest threat at this point, so...
I'm going to go get a shower, get some food,
and, uh, be back to see these guys in three days.
There you go. That's it.
Take it easy.
