JEFF PROBST: I'm standing on the rim
of Mount Yasur, a massive crater that displays its anger
on a regular basis, spewing molten lava
and rock thousands of feet into the air.
Locals believe this is the final resting spot
for the spirits of the dead.
Yasur is one of nine active volcanoes
on the island nation of Vanuatu in the South Pacific.
It is a land with a fascinating history of cannibalism,
where rituals like sorcery and black magic
are still a part of daily life.
It is here that 18 Americans are about to begin
the adventure of a lifetime.
18 strangers, all from different walks of life,
forced to work together to create a new society
while battling the elements and each other.
They must learn to adapt,
or they'll be voted out of the tribe.
In the end, only one will remain
to claim the million-dollar prize.
39 days, 18 people, one survivor.
( man yelling )
( woman singing in foreign language )

( shouting )
( whooping, shouting )
( whooping, shouting continue )
There he is.
Thank God. There he is.
( whistling )
Yeah!
( cheering )
JEFF: Welcome to Survivor:
Vanuatu-- Islands of Fire.
The game is about to begin, but before it does,
you have to be granted access to the land.
So you're going to take part in a tribal ritual.
It is a rite of passage and an invitation
to stay on the land, but in order to stay,
you must participate.
It's going to impact each of you differently.
At times, you may find it beautiful,
at times, you may be repulsed, and at times,
you may be frightened.
Chief Mormor will preside over all of this.
He is a real chief.
I will be there,
but he will guide you through it.
The tribes of Vanuatu take their spirituality
very seriously.
The ceremony you're going to take part in
is an authentic Vanuatu tribal tradition.
You are in a foreign country.
Remember that.
This is their culture.
We are only visitors.
It's time to go over-- three in a canoe,
down the rope ladder.
( indistinct shouting )
MIA: Jeff gave us an overview, saying how the customs
of Vanuatu are not like we're used to,
so I was-- I was really nervous after he was talking to us.
I'm like, "What are they going to do?"
TRAVIS: Jeff informed us that we're going to climb
down the side of the boat
and we're going to get in these canoes.
I thought, 'Man, that's great,'
because I didn't learn how to swim
until six weeks before I come here.
I would've been spooked if I knew I had to swim.
( screaming )
We get into the boat, and it tips over,
so I'm trying to hold on to the rope to keep me up.
It's killing my back,
but I wasn't about to move again.
( laughing ): I was going to stay right where I was at.
We finally got another boat over there.
( singing )
( singing continues )
( shouting in sync )
LEANN: When the natives took us into the middle
of the ring where everybody circled around us,
it was really overwhelming for me,
and I don't know if it was just
the anticipation of getting started
or the whole thing, but I was...
really, I was moved to tears.
( Vanuatuans shouting )
JOHN P.: There was a bunch of tribesmen
running with spears!
My first reaction was, "What's going on?"
We were like, "Wha-What?
"Are we supposed to defend ourselves?
What are we supposed to do?"
( shouting )
RORY: They're jabbing spears at absolutely everybody,
except me.
Nobody jabbed a spear at me in any way, shape, or form,
which I took as,
you know, a black man coming on the island
is not particularly unwelcome.
( man singing )
( tribe singing in response )
ELIZA: These guys in their big, cone-shaped
jungle dresses, they have these big sticks,
and they start, you know, pulling people out
with the sticks, but kind of like,
you know, whacking 'em out.
Soon enough, I noticed that they were bringing the women
to one side.
We look over, and the guys, you know...
Like, we're, like, kneeling on a mat,
and they all have, like, little, stump seats to sit on.
And they're, like, right in the center of the action.
We're kind of off to the side,
and so I immediately start thinking, "What's with this?
I thought we were all supposed to be part of this ceremony."
LEA: They brought a bowl out,
and they uncovered the palm leaves off of it,
and they were pointing at it.
Well, I thought maybe I was supposed to wash my fingers
or something, you know?
Uh, that we were getting ready to eat something
or wash my fingers, 'cause it was some rustic looking stuff.
RORY: Chief Mormor offers each one of us this kava,
which is the local drink.
It's like mud, basically.
You drink it, your lips go numb,
and your tongue goes numb, and your throat goes numb.
( choking )
( laughing )
JOHN P.: The chief is welcoming us, and I look over at the girls,
and they're not getting anything to drink.
And I'm thinking, "Wow, this is pretty cool, you know?
Special treatment for the guys."
( gagging )
( laughter )
AMI: I was waiting for our turn.
( chuckles ): I was like,
"Well, okay, well, when do we get kava?"
But it never came around.
We're not getting the full deal here.
I'm not used to being put second behind a man.
( man singing )
( men singing in response )
JEFF: Keep if mind, guys, what is about
to happen next is a common part
of their tribal tradition.
( singing continues )
( shouting )
LISA: Apparently, the Vanuatu people really honor pigs.
Pigs are...
I think, sometimes better than women.
( chuckles ) Anyway...
So, they come in with this pig.
Right away, I thought,
"Okay, we're having a pig roast," you know?
But I thought the pig was dead.
And then I realized the pig was alive.
ELIZA: I eat meat, and I know that animals are slaughtered,
but, like, seeing it was just like...
( gasps ): Like, I-I literally think I gasped out loud,
because it was just so shocking to watch.
DOLLY: That kind of stuff doesn't bother me,
because I'm a shepherdess, and that's what I do.
I-I raise lambs for that exact purpose:
to slaughter, so I totally understand that ritual.
LEA: The head chief took the blood of his sacrifice
and went to each male member of Survivor-- no, no females--
and said, "You are now a-a, you know, a warrior in Vanuatu."
And basically, I felt what he was doing
was he was saying "Welcome."
( wild cheering )
There's one element left
to this initiation.
It involves a spiritual stone.
It is believed on these lands that this carved stone,
and other stones like it,
ward off evil spirits.
Last thing you want in this game is bad luck.
Possessing this stone
could give you a spiritual advantage in the game.
As you've seen, men and women are treated very differently.
The chief is offering the men
a chance to possess this stone.
The only hitch is
you have to get it from atop of that pole,
which has been greased with pig fat.
If you fail,
the women get it.
The chief will decide
in which order you go.
To show you that it can be done, he's going to instruct
a tribe member to take it up and put it there now.
TRAVIS: Ever who possesses that stone,
the spirits are supposed to be in favor.
Even though that's not my beliefs,
I still wanted that stone, just so the girls wouldn't get it.
( cheering )
LEA: We were all going, "I don't want to be the one that falls
flat on my face in front of everybody."
The chief turned around, and he pointed in my direction.
I was like, "Oh, my God.
No, not me."
And I went like this out of the way.
I said, "Yeah, him?"
( cheering )
BRADY: I was just praying to God
he was going to pick somebody else, but he picked me.
As soon as he did, I figured the only way I'd even have
any chance is to do it kind of like the other guy did it.
And I got a little dirt on my feet, in my hands
and I just hung on for dear life.
MIA: The girls were praying that the boys
were not going to do it.
So I was like, "Please fall."
We want to see some of them fall at least.
( cheering )
( thunder )
( cheering )
( wild cheering )
TRAVIS: As soon as he got that rock,
it started raining like pouring pee
out of a boot on a flat rock.
It was definitely spooky.
But I didn't care. We got the rock.
( cheering )
Now, it's time to begin Survivor.
Because you have been divided by the chief
into groups of men and women,
you will stay that way.
Men, in possession of the spiritual stone,
you are the Lopevi Tribe.
You will wear red.
CHRIS: Men against women, it's perfect.
I can outsmart eight men a hell of a lot quicker
than I can outsmart eight women.
Women stick together.
They're thick as thieves.
Men are deceiving, mischievous, untrusting human beings.
Men, I can manipulate.
JEFF: You are the Yasur Tribe.
Yasur?
Named after the volcano.
You will wear yellow.
TWILA: When I found out we were splitting
the men and the women, I looked around at them little girls,
and I thought, "Oh, Lord, what did you get me into?"
( laughing )
We had a couple of ol' prissy ones.
They probably hadn't even been dirty in their entire days,
and they ain't got a clue what's in store for the next
God knows how many days.
JEFF: Your next task is to find
your tribal beaches.
You will not have a map to guide you.
You will not have fire to lead the way.
It is going to be a long, dark,
wet walk.
And when you get there,
you will have a pot,
you will have a machete,
and you will have a map to water and that's it.
Have a good 39 days.
Men, down the beach this way.
Keep walking till you find your tribe flag.
( thunder )
Ladies, down to the beach, head right.
( wild cheering )
MIA: I think the boys got a lot more
out of that ceremony than we did.
I think we definitely got a bum deal.
So we're out, we're out for blood now.
( cheering )
MIA: Okay, girls.
Be really careful.
You have to hold on to the next person.
This is really slippery roots here,
so be really careful.
Oh, whoa, Scout.
One down, one up.
Are you okay? Yeah.
DOLLY: What do you think, Scout?
I'm going with your years of experience and...
and, uh, know-how here, because I don't want to...
I don't want to walk around all night.
SCOUT: I just wanted to hunker down till daylight came so we could,
you know, find our camp easier and everybody would be safe.
I wasn't tired.
I just love to sit and visit.
I haven't said anything to anybody here,
but I'm schlepping around an artificial knee.
So I'm pretty cautious crawling across lava rock that deep
at night with it raining.
( hooting )
Yeah?! Yeah?!
ELIZA: Ami and Dolly and Scout didn't want to come along.
They almost insisted on just stopping
where we were and, you know, sleeping.
Like, I think sleeping right here is, like,
the stupidest thing we could possibly do.
JULIE: You guys, come on up here!
Come up here!
We want to hang out, get to know each other!
We want you to come hang out with us!
ELIZA: Hey, girls, let's make a group decision.
What way do you want to go?
SCOUT: I don't want to hold you.
I want you guys to go at your pace, you know.
I just, I feel like they're headed the wrong direction,
so I want you to go on.
I'm happy to stay back.
TWILA: Somebody needs to make a decision.
LEANN: It got to a point where
we couldn't make a decision
whether we should continue or go back
or if we missed the flag or...
We were really kind of afraid that we missed camp altogether,
'cause it's dark out.
I really had my heart set on find our camp tonight.
Me, too.
ELIZA: I didn't want to be too pushy because
I didn't want to be, like, the odd person out.
TWILA: Are you going to be able to sleep in this rain and cold?
No, no, I want to keep walking.
...keep walking and stay warm.
ELIZA: Luckily, you know, other people agreed with me
that, um, we should continue.
ELIZA: Scout, will you come with us if we choose to go,
or are you going to just...?
Yeah, I'll go with you.
Come on, girl.
ELIZA: Yeah, let's go forward.
SCOUT: We don't want the guys to find their camp before us.
( laughter )
LEA: Whoo!
It's the blind leading the blind here.
Where's the flag, bro?
I don't think nine of us would miss it.
Can we hold on a quick second?
We really need to come up with some sort of game plan.
'Cause this walking our path is bull ...
RORY: I mean, we got nine of us.
There's got to be a better way than this.
Now we can keep walking along the path,
and some of us can walk along the path,
but then we pass several trails that are going up,
and we have no idea where those things are going.
Nine of us walking in a group
like a bunch of ladies ain't helping.
BROOK: Rory, I don't think he's going to fit in.
There's one in every bunch, you know what I mean?
To see, like, Rory already barking out orders,
what is he thinking?
I'll be honest with you, the walk is, like,
kind of keeping us busy, like,
we got something to do, just walk.
Like, you know what I mean?
Once we find camp anyway, what are we
gonna do when we get there anyway?
What does the group want to do?
What do we want to do?
Keep walking?
Move on.
Move out. Move out.
RORY: I don't think there was any independent thought.
I think that we could've covered more ground if we weren't
all walking in a big pack of nine guys all at once.
Some of the younger guys that, that are here,
none of them want to listen.
They're all young.
JOHN P.: Little tension on the first night.
( scattered chuckling )
What's that right there?
Does that look like a stick with a flag on it?
Found it.
Yo, it's the flag!
( whooping )
CHRIS: We got the flag!
Yeah!
( talking excitedly )
( whooping )
LEANN: Let's be real careful.
TWILA: This has got to be it.
Please be our beach, please be our beach,
please be our beach.
( whooping and cheering )
Yasur!
You guys, we did it!
( cheering )
ELIZA: We see the flag,
and, you know, all the troubles,
all the conflicts, like, dissolved.
We're all hugging and thrilled to death that we're here.
Here's to be persevering and being strong!
( cheering loudly )
( whooping )
TWILA: Okay, now what?
( scattered laughing )
AMI: Should we bring the rest
of our fronds over?
I think now let's pull in what we got
and see and then tie 'em down.
You got to tie all these up to that center piece.
SCOUT: Boy, we've got a really sturdy rack for a shelter.
It's been a group effort.
I've stayed with it,
and Twila has stayed with it,
and, uh, Leann stayed with it.
But some of the gals are down there
on the beach basking in the sun,
chitchatting.
Oh, praise the spirit for the sun.
LISA: Just rub it on?
It's scrub, deodorant.
( laughter )
Shampoo.
SCOUT: I call all these sorority girls bowheads.
That's what we call them back in Oklahoma.
They all like to hang together.
They're like cattle.
I mean, really, cows, they just cluster.
And those sorority chicks, they aren't paying attention
to any damn thing but themselves.
You know, they're their favorite topic.
ELIZA: I'm really not a negative person.
Like, I'm awfully optimistic in most cases,
but for some reason, I just don't think we're
gonna get fire from rubbing two, like, quasi-dry sticks together.
SCOUT: Eliza, she talks nonstop.
She's probably at the top of my list,
just to get her mouth out of my face.
I'm telling you.
ELIZA: Dude, are they building shelter right now?
I don't see them.
Just lean up against this and hold that.
Slide down a little bit, though.
( chuckles )
ELIZA: Twila has been working on the shelter constantly.
I feel like her continuous work
has made those of us who have taken reasonable breaks
look bad in her mind
to think that, oh, they're not pulling their weight.
Hey, ladies, looking great.
TWILA: We had too much chattering
and not enough moving.
Mouths are working but the hands ain't.
The hut still is not done.
There is a couple of them that didn't do nothing
but bitch, moan and complain last night.
We was all cold.
You know, get off your ass, get the ... done,
and don't bitch about it tonight
when you're freezing your butt off.
BROOK: We know where our water source is.
It's just a little creek
with some fresh water.
It looks really clean,
but it's still going to have to be boiled, and...
I guess our problem right now is we just got to get a fire going.
JOHN P.: Hey, you guys, before we start the fire,
let's get the, uh, let's get the Immunity Rock, huh?
Rub the rock's head.
For fire.
Well, you know, it worked at home when I did this.
See, you make a little notch in this fire tray
and you put the ball of tinder right in here.
On the opposite side, you make a groove.
The Aborigines did this,
why can't we?
CHRIS: J.P. wants to prove himself bad.
He's about 30 years old,
and he's feeling like, you know, I'm buff, I'm bad, I'm young,
I'm all, you know, go to the end of this.
He don't have a clue.
He's got the frame, but he ain't got the brain.
It's slackening. Yup.
CHRIS: There you go, dude, keep it going.
Yup.
CHRIS: This is going to be it-- keep going.
We need more smoke, more smoke, dude.
( grunts )
Dump it. Blow on it.
CHAD: It's here.
It's right here, it's right here, right here.
JOHN P.: We actually had a hot ember,
which was very pink.
Oh, you're getting it. That's it.
( all shouting )
I think we were all excited to see a hot ember,
but none of us knew
what to do with it.
We were just kind of like, "Yeah, we've got ember."
No!
CHAD: We were so close to getting fire going
that I thought we were gonna be able to boil water.
( clicks tongue )
Didn't work.
LEA: You got those leaves?
CHAD: You guys check it out.
I got to... I got to show you this.
You guys agree that I had a pretty good run down here,
I didn't fall or anything?
After doing things that are physically demanding,
I felt like it was the right time to-to reveal the fact
that I have no foot, that it's a prosthesis.
They were pretty surprised.
It's a rare form of cancer called synovial sarcoma.
And I just had a little bump in the bottom of my foot,
Dude... ...thought it was nothing.
I thought it was a cyst.
I lost it about 20 months ago.
CHRIS: Dude, it's inspirational that you're here.
It's awesome.
Good on you, mate.
JOHN K.: I had absolutely no idea that Chad had no leg.
I mean, he had... he was wearing pants the whole day,
so he just goes, "Hey, guys, look."
And then he unzippered his pants, and there was no leg.
It was... it was pretty shocking.
It's, uh... Extremely mobile.
You did a hell of a job with it.
Well, I try.
Great, the guy with the mechanical leg's
gonna win for sure-- he's nice,
he's smart, he's quiet, and he... you know,
he's got the underdog thing going on,
so we're screwed.
That's awesome, dude; I had no idea.
BROOK: I'm amazed-- all the power to him.
I totally think that's inspirational, but...
if I have to vote his ass out of here tomorrow,
I'm still gonna vote his ass out of here tomorrow.
ELIZA: Let's go.
Tree mail.
( all cheering )
How cool. I know.
Is this it?
ELIZA: ♪ I don't know, but I've been told ♪
ALL: ♪ I don't know, but I've been told ♪
ELIZA: ♪ Yasur girls gonna get the gold ♪
ALL: ♪ Yasur girls gonna get that gold ♪
ELIZA: One, two... ALL: Three, four.
TWILA: "A show of pride and unity,
"each time the two tribes meet.
"Bring your tribal flag with you
whenever you complete." Compete.
TWILA: Compete.
"Access..."
LEANN: "Assess your tribe mates' strengths.
Whose talents you'll require." TWILA: Mm-hmm.
"One tribe leaves with heads hung low,
the others go home with fire."
( gasping and cheering )
JULIE: They got tree mail,
and, um, we're all psyched up, 'cause, supposedly,
we're gonna get some fire.
LEANN: Obviously, most people think that girls are weaker,
and women aren't cut out for this kind of thing,
so I think it's really important
that we win this challenge.
We're gonna go
and kick some butt.
Yasur, ladies, how is it going so far?
Two nights.
Two long, cold... TWILA: No fire.
DOLLY: ...wet nights. No fire.
But it's going awesome.
All right, Lopevi,
you guys, grinning.
No problem, right?
First three days; how is it going so far?
We still need fire before we're gonna drink water,
'cause we need to boil ours.
We're not taking any chances.
Okay, let's get to the first challenge.
It is for both reward and immunity.
There are several elements.
All nine of you must go under the mud crawl.
Once all nine of you have made it to the other side
of the mud crawl, three tribe members will tackle
the box maze.
Your goal is to maneuver
a ball from the start to the finish net.
Once the ball gets in the net, take it with you,
because it has matches inside that you're gonna need later.
The next stage, all nine must cross
a very narrow balance beam.
If you fall off, or if your feet hit the net
at any time, you got to go back to the start.
Once all nine have finished,
three different tribe members will race to build a fire
that will burn a rope and drop a torch.
Light it, cross the finish line.
First tribe with a lit torch to cross the finish line
and light the final wok
wins reward and immunity.
Want to know what the reward is?
( all affirming )
It's flint.
( applause ) TRAVIS: Yeah.
You already have steel with the machete.
This will give you fire,
give you warmth, let you boil water.
But more important
than reward is this.
Immunity.
All right.
This is what you want in this game.
If you have immunity, you are safe.
You cannot be voted out.
Without it, you are vulnerable.
Ready to go?
( all affirming )
Take your spots on the start.
Wait for my go.
All right, here we go, for reward and immunity.
Survivors ready?
Go!
Through the mud pit.
Everybody dead even.
Come on, Brook, just slide.
Pretty even.
Keep moving.
Get your face down and dig through.
John and Lisa are across.
Come on, go.
Keep pulling.
A lot of teamwork going on.
The women pulling each other through.
Guys pulling each other through.
( shouting )
Dead even-- let's go!
Get her through! Get her through!
Pull him!
Got to get on the mat.
Men are through the mud.
Men moving on to the box maze.
Get on the mat.
Drag her.
Women through the mud, women moving on to the box maze.
Does it need to go over there?
This goes here, it goes here...
JEFF: You need the maneuver the ball into the finish net.
Now! Now!
Just take your time.
Easy. Right there.
JEFF: Guys are at a roadblock.
That needs to go through this one.
Go up.
Nice.
Yes, yes! It won't fit.
JEFF: Girls working together well.
CHRIS: Up, up.
Come on.
JEFF: The men have it.
Moving on with their ball to the balance beam.
Now! Nice.
No, tilt, tilt-- don't let it go down there.
JEFF: Chad first up on the balance beam.
( woman shouts )
Keep working, you're still in this.
Now, we can't let it go through that last one. Okay, okay.
Bring it back.
AMI: Don't tilt it-- just go nice and tiny.
JEFF: Bubba is down.
Back to the start.
Go, go, go, go!
JEFF: John makes it across.
The women have it.
Ladies, you're still in it. Go, go, go.
( women shouting )
Okay, come on.
LISA: Go, go, go, go, go...
JEFF: Brady, you're across and down.
LISA: Come on, women, agility, agility.
JEFF: Bubba gonna crawl.
Aw, scraping his belly against that wood.
That cannot feel good.
You got it, man, come on.
Think fire, think fire! Come on, think about it.
JEFF: Bubba working it.
BRADY: Let's go, let's go; she's catching you!
JEFF: You cannot touch any part of the net.
BRADY: She's passing you.
JEFF: Leann makes it.
Women have their first woman across.
Get those feet up there.
Bubba's through. Yeah.
Let's go, come on... Roll up!
JEFF: Chad you're there.
Keep moving Twila.
Watch your feet, keep them up.
That a way, drag those feet up.
You're good.
Lea makes it, you're down.
Dolly, you're good.
That a way to dig, Rory.
Mia makes it across.
Women are closing the gap.
That a way, Rory.
Down to you two.
Down to Scout and Chris!
( men, women shouting )
JEFF: No! Chris to the back.
Hustle, man, you got it.
Stay in this!
( women cheering )
Come on, Scout!
Women have taken the lead.
Hustle, Scout!
You got to get to the mat.
( all shouting )
Nice job, Scout!
Let's go, men, you're still in it.
Women have to make fire.
AMI: Start it small, and then roll around the middle.
CHAD: Move forward, buddy.
Like walking on the sidewalk, bro.
It's all you, man.
LEANN: He's off again, he's off again.
BROOK: Plenty of time, dude.
Take your time-- focus.
DOLLY: Get a few tall sticks on there.
Come on, man, it's all you.
Shimmy.
( men shouting )
Come on, girls.
JEFF: Ladies have fire.
( women cheering )
JEFF: Protect that fire, block the wind.
You can do this, Chris!
You can do it, man.
Say to yourself,
you can do it, buddy.
ELIZA: Think how warm we'll be tonight, please.
Okay, let's go now.
Whoo! Look up.
Let's go. LEA: It's all you.
It's all you, man; you're the man.
You got our support.
Here we go, here we go.
Here we go.
Keep it going.
Keep it going. Go faster, go faster,
go faster, go faster. Go, go, go, go!
Oh!
Here it goes.
( women screaming )
JEFF: There it is.
There it goes!
Go!
( cheering )
Yasur across the finish line.
The women win the first challenge--
reward and immunity!
( cheering )
( chanting ): Fire, water, and immunity!
Fire, water, and immunity!
( cheering )
Yasur, right here.
That's going back to camp.
No Tribal Council for you guys.
Yeah! Yeah!
And flint.
Water tonight.
You'll stay warm, congratulations.
ALL: Thank you.
JULIE: In the mood for a hot meal?
Lopevi, tough break.
Chris, certainly gave it everything you had.
We'll see if it mattered or not tonight
at Tribal Council-- somebody is going home.
First person voted out; I'll see you there.
( women cheering )
Hey, bottom line, I think we underestimated them.
Man, they did a good job.
Oh, yeah, yeah.
Yeah, we just lost.
BRADY: Losing fire...
( chuckling ): ...right now was tough.
Losing to women was tough.
CHRIS: Well, to tell you guys a little bit more about myself.
I'm not real good at a balance.
( laughter )
BRADY: Chris couldn't get across the balance beam.
The fact is,
he didn't make it, and we lost.
I got halfway and hit a wall!
CHRIS: I really wanted to make it across the beam.
And, you know, if I had wings, I'd have made it, you know?
I would have made myself go across the beam.
Yeah...
CHRIS: This game, you outwit, outplay, outlast people.
You don't out-balance them.
JOHN K.: It has to be.
You know what I'm saying?
I totally agree. We need to win this game.
BROOK: Yo, Lea?
What do you think...
who are you leaning towards tonight?
Like, we're just talking,
and as a group, we want to be a strong group.
JOHN K: Bottom line is,
I want to beat those girls,
and I want to keep getting Immunity.
The way I'm going to do it is,
it's basically the weakest link.
Well, I said, I'm going to give it a few hours
and see what the attitudes are,
'Cause, I mean, I like everybody, I mean...
That's the thing, like...
I don't have no bad quarrels with nobody.
LEA: J. P., Brady, John and Brook, they basically said,
"Sarge, we need to get rid of the weakest link."
I mean, it's tricky to decide who I'm going to vote for.
I said I'm going to think about it.
They said "the weakest link."
They're assuming that I agree that the weakest link is Chris.
If we're going to stay in this-- the old people--
the only way we're going get a million dollars, one of us,
is if we get rid of the young people.
LEA: But J. P. is
the only one that is really trying to make fire.
I'd say Brook.
Brook is cocky,
and we don't know where he lies.
I'll talk to Chad, I'll take care of it. I'll talk to Chad.
CHRIS: I prepared to come here, mentally,
and I prepared to play the game.
I'm not vulnerable at all.
We've got a plan.
I'm just trying survive the first couple days.
The one thing you got to worry about
is you never know.
Those guys could smarten up,
which I hope they didn't.
BROOK: Personally, I think there's a lot of young guys on the team,
guys who are going to be targets.
I feel like I am one of the stronger, younger guys
who's going to be a target.
Right now, we're in charge of who's getting voted off.
As of right now.
Know what I mean? Not necessarily.
Trust me, dude, he's vulnerable.
All right, cool.
You know what I'm saying?
All right, cool.
I'm down. All right.
BRADY: Well, obviously
I haven't fully made up my mind
on who I'm going to vote for yet tonight.
I'm thinking about Chris right now,
but Rory, he's kind of on his own sheet of music
a lot of the time.
I think maybe some people feel like
Rory is maybe not putting out as much group effort
as some of the other guys,
and the group right now is where it's all at.
Behind each of you guys is a torch.
Go ahead and grab a torch,
approach a flame and get fire,
because in this game, fire represents your life.
As long as your torch has fire, you're still in the game,
when your flame is gone, so are you.
Welcome to your first Tribal Council--
definitely not the place you want to be.
Somebody is going to go home as a result of today's loss.
But before we get to the vote,
let's talk about today's Challenge.
Anybody here willing to admit that as they saw Chris
fail, fail, fail,
that they started thinking, "This guy is killing us."
LEA: Oh, I mean, yeah.
Because it was so easy.
And I'm saying, "Come on, bring your big tail
"across the doggone beam.
"We were ahead, now we're losing.
"All we got to do is build a little fire,
blow into this torch and win over these females."
JEFF: Chris,
at any point while you're trying to cross it,
are you also thinking, "I'm dead,
I'm going home tonight"?
No, I wasn't.
I wasn't thinking "I'm going home tonight."
I wasn't thinking "I'm dead."
I don't categorize stuff like that.
The first night, Rory,
he had some ideas.
He was getting on peoples' nerves.
Did I all of a sudden develop an opinion about him
and think, "You know what?
He's going home the first time I go to Tribal Council."
No, I didn't think that.
Everybody's going to help the team some way
sometime down along the line,
and that's all I think about.
Rory, how are you fitting in with this group?
I fit in fabulously well, and I love
my partners here.
We've accepted every single thing
that's come our way as a family and as a team,
and I would expect that that's the way
we're going to continue to operate.
JEFF: J. P.,
how close are you guys to crisis mode in terms of
not having water?
We're on red alert.
I mean, when you get into this game,
you realize you take a lot of things for granted,
and water is one of them.
You start getting headaches.
You can't get up.
You're lethargic, you start cramping.
It's taken a toll on all of us in some way or another.
Before we get to the vote,
there's one other topic we have to bring up.
You got your first look today at the women.
Mm.
Bubba, that was just a little grunt,
or a groan, or a...
Jeff, I've said it once,
I've said it 1,000 times:
you never underestimate a woman.
I knew going into this
that these women were
going to be fighting hard.
And I hope now
everybody respects these ladies,
'cause they mean business,
and they can kick our tail, Jeff.
JEFF: Brook.
Anybody you wouldn't mind ending up on a tribe with?
Yeah, there was a couple girls who had really nice, um, tails,
but I was real impressed with how competitive
some of those girls were.
Like, it's one thing to expect it, and one thing
to see those girls shimmying across that beam
and grinding their teeth and screaming and yelling
just 'cause they want to beat us so bad.
But, yeah, I was peeking over quite often when I got a chance.
JEFF: J. P.,
you had to be a little surprised
nine women kicked your guys' butt.
I think as the group, we expected to win.
Nine males, Jeff-- there's nine of us!
We're all...
brute strong.
We're going to have to come in
and play the game a little bit harder.
They just raised the level of the game.
JEFF: With that, it is time to vote.
Brook, you're up first.
"Chris."
I'm making this vote to save my own butt,
and it's definitely strategy.
Good luck, bud.
If you get voted off tonight,
we'll miss your sage comments around camp.
Right now, man, it's all about
team and winning.
Just playing the game, man.
I started playing it when I got to the beach.
It's all part of the game.
I'll go tally the votes.
Once the votes are read, the decision is final.
The person voted out will be asked
to leave the Tribal Council area immediately.
I'll read the votes.
First vote.
Chris.
Chris. That's two votes Chris.
Rory.
Brook.
That's two votes Brook, two votes Chris,
one vote Rory.
Chris.
Brook.
Three votes Brook, three votes Chris,
one vote Rory.
Brook.
Four votes Brook, three votes Chris.
First person voted out of
Survivor: Vanuatu, Islands of Fire--
Brook.
You need to bring me your torch.
Brook, the tribe has spoken.
It's time for you to go.
Three different tribe members received votes.
You guys are going back to camp,
no water, no fire,
'cause you're going to earn it or you're going to build it.
You guys can head back to camp.
Good night.
The one thing I didn't want was to be
the first person off.
Who the hell wants to be the first person off?
But, uh, during these three days in the game,
I don't think I have learned much about myself.
My only problem was the other 17 people here
just gave me an absolute schooling
in the game of Survivor, so...
Uh, you know, I got beat.
The bottom line, some of them got me, they got me good.
Peace out, Survivor land.
