Previously on Survivor New Zealand.
18 Kiwis found themselves cast away on a remote lake between Thailand and Myanmar.
But in a surprise, not all were strangers.
I do know one other contestant.
He's actually one of my best mates in high school.
Picked for opposing tribes, they decided to
keep their friendship a secret from the rest.
Didn't want to pick him because if we do have a tribe swap
or get to the merge, I do have someone I can play with.
A downtrodden Chani fought hard.
Chani wins reward!
All this fishing kit is now yours. And caught more than they bargained for.
Oh my god. There's a piece of paper hidden in the net.
Oh, what?
Turns out it's an immunity idol clue.
A not-so-hidden immunity idol shared by the whole tribe.
It worries me a lot. I don't see her following the rules that
we set out and that she gives it to one of us if we need it.
Fell into Eve's possession.
Oh yes.
I am technically in possession of it and I would like to stick to my word.
But I would be kind of gutted if I did give away the idol.
An unlikely cross-tribal alliance was formed at the outpost.
Are you keen to go out of alliance with me? Yeah, I can.
And Chani broke their losing streak at the immunity challenge.
Chani wins immunity!
Sending Khangkhaw to face their first tribal council.
Tessa was pathetic on the rope. She threw the challenge on purpose.
Brad rallied his Type 5 alliance for the vote.
But left Tara and Lisa in the dark.
Yeah.
Sensing he was in trouble, Dylan lashed out at tribal council.
I'm a big fan of this game.
You sit around camp and act like you don't want to be here.
And that's incredibly frustrating for someone
like me who desperately wants to be here.
But it was Keisha who was blindsided and sent home.
Fourth person voted out of Survivor Thailand is Keisha.
You need to bring me a torch.
Wow.
Oh my god.
Fourteen are left.
Who will be voted out tonight?
Well done.
Didn't think I'd be back here, so...
Hell, I just need a heater.
Couple of minutes, team. Should be into it.
I knew coming into this vote we were going to have
the Tight 5 and we were going to show a few cards.
But super, super happy that...
The alliance had worked and everything kinda went to plan.
I had a real connection with Keisha and like, I felt like we were friends.
But, you know, it is a game and I did see her as a threat, so that's why I voted out.
You're glad you're still here?
Yeah, like I'm happy I'm still here, so if
you have something to say to me, just say it.
I have to be honest Dylan, I was a little disappointed that you said my name.
Like Paul? Yeah.
Okay, I get that.
It was just one of those moments for me that I
was like, well I guess I'm on the outs, so like... Do you know what I mean?
So you weren't actually for real saying, you were
just kind of trying to throw something out there to...
Yeah, it's like, it wasn't like a personal I hate Tara.
It was like, well, okay, like the fire's under me, so like, I need to shift it.
Dylan's just trying to scramble and find something else to save himself.
I was just a bit disappointed that he used me, I guess.
But at the same time I'm nervous because...
I had no idea that Keisha was the one that was going to go.
It was hard to let my game be in somebody else's hands.
The tribe said to trust them and that it was definitely not going to be me.
So I was quite surprised because I thought we were
actually a bit closer than what it turned out to be.
Yeah, you really left it all out there with your speech, Dylan.
I thought I was going home.
So I was like, oh, I don't know, like, just say everything in my head.
I thought it was me, through and through.
And obviously some other people in the tribe had a different plan.
Turns out I wasn't the target after all.
Obviously I've made myself public enemy number one in this tribe.
The real hard work starts now.
Yeah, give it a little nudge.
My dad did roof trusses for years.
Oh, really? Yeah.
So back when I was like seven, eight, I was looting my things.
So at this point in the game, another tribe that looks really, really small.
But we're so stoked to have our first immunity win.
Just to shove it in the face of the other tribe just feels so good.
It was nice having a night off.
Yeah.
It's so good just to relax and not have to
feel the anxiety of going to tribal council.
Particularly for me.
Because the current status of the hidden immunity idol is that it's not hidden.
It's out in the open.
Kind of fretting a little bit because even though
it's like a tribe idol, it's technically in my hands.
It's technically in my hands.
Once your whole tribe knows that you have an
idol, you can't really fly back under the radar.
I hope these leaves don't dry and shrivel up too much.
Yeah, I'm sure they will.
We're going to catch some white bait.
- Get one? - No!
But they come underneath.
Too quick.
Dylan put everything out on the table last night.
I think we need him gone well before a tribe swap or a merge.
We certainly don't trust Dylan there.
We're not going to trust him when he's with the other side.
I've got nothing against Dylan.
He seems sort of like just like a little annoying brother.
But he's a person that if he's gone, it will make life easier for everyone.
When Matt was reading up the votes, he was like...
We're happy that it worked out perfectly.
People who said they were voting for Dylan voted for Dylan.
The people that said they were voting for Keisha voted for Keisha.
She's a shambles.
She's a well-planned shambles.
Welcome to the laundry, Matt.
Here.
Certainly no niceties coming my way.
I think everyone's just kind of uneasy around me.
For me to feel safer in this game, I need an
idol, which I simply cannot find on this island.
I think I've looked in every damn tree.
Or an interesting twist in the game.
Do you guys need any water? Oh, yeah.
I do.
I think it's well and truly the end of my time with Khangkhaw.
If we go back to tribal, I don't think there's any way I'm getting out of it.
I'm definitely the next person going home.
Chani getting their first look at the new line up for Khangkhaw.
Keisha voted out...
Renee, your take on it?
I'm really shocked.
Just did not think that the dynamics in that group were that way around.
So it's very, very interesting.
Everyone's here to play, Matty.
And I bloody love it.
Yeah.
I like it.
Are you women starting to feel like
an endangered species out here?
Tara.
No, I think it's just purely coincidental.
I don't think the boys have got anything against the girls.
I hope not.
I just think it's coincidental that strong girls have gone from their team
and a strong woman's gone from our team as well.
All right, let's move on.
Are you guys ready to rip into today's reward challenge?
Yes.
Well, you're going to have to wait.
Drop your buffs.
No.
Are you guys ready to rip into today's reward challenge?
Yes.
Well, you're going to have to wait.
Drop your buffs.
- No. - No.
No.
- What? - Well played.
That's right.
It's time for a mixer.
I am so stoked to hear, "Drop your buffs."
I think, "Oh my God, I've got a chance again."
Like, this is amazing.
One by one, you're going to come up.
You're going to crack an egg on your body.
You crack a blue egg,
you're moving to the new look, Chani tribe.
Crack a yellow egg,
you're moving to the new look, Khangkhaw.
Just shocked.
We're all getting so comfortable with each
other and things are looking quite good for us.
And then it just gets flipped upside down.
So it's a massive change in the game.
It's a massive shift.
All right, Eve, you're up first.
Eve is moving to Khangkhaw.
Tess, your turn.
The ideal situation would be that I've got people in my alliance.
I don't want to get separated from the other four guys in the Invisible Five.
That would be a nightmare.
Tess, joining Eve in Khangkhaw.
Lisa, you're up.
Lisa, also sticking with Khangkhaw.
Renee, your turn.
She's cracking blue.
She's sticking with Chani.
Dylan, you're up, buddy.
Hey.
Truthfully, the only person I hope I'm not separated from
in Khangkhaw is Brad, because it'd be great to vote him out.
Dylan's shifting across to Chani.
The longer Dylan stays in this game, the more dangerous he becomes.
He is the biggest snake out here.
Dave, you're up, mate.
Dave, also sticking with Chani.
I hope that me and Aaron stay together because
he's just about the only person I really trust 100% in this game.
And if I can catch up with Matt, that'd be cool so I can
play both sides a little bit just to see what's going on.
Matt.
Matt going across to Chani, Rene and Dave pretty happy about that.
The fact that me and Dave have ended up on the same tribe is kind of perfect.
To be able to work with Dave this early before
Merge is definitely a bonus because we can kind of cement our relationship.
JT.
Coming on up.
And he cracks yellow, shifting to Khangkhaw.
I am excited to meet some new people and go to new camp.
It's probably not an ideal mix of people for
me game-wise, but we'll see what happens.
Josh.
Which way is it going to go?
Grabs his egg, crushes it.
He's moving to Chani.
Liam.
Just five eggs left, and it's yellow.
Brad.
Oh, weak.
And Khangkhaw it is.
Adam.
Cracks blue, shifting across to Chani.
I'm loving my new tribe. We look like gods
compared to the other tribe. We're huge, we're
fast and we're strong. But we do have Dylan.
But that's also something that I'm happy about
because we can get rid of him whenever we want.
Tara. Crack's yellow. Sticking with Khangkhaw.
Lucky last. Just one egg left.
Pretty sure you're heading across to Chani. And you are.
Chani's strong mate. I feel like this mix-up has
definitely aided my game plan. Having gone to the
outpost with Aaron and we've already formed that
alliance, seeing him on my team is just a dream result.
I'm very happy with the current situation.
Nothing like a good old-fashioned mix-up.
Right, Renee. Yeah.
A lot of testosterone where you are. How are you feeling?
That's all right. I'll be one of the boys. It's all good.
Just blend in like a chameleon. Yeah. Yeah. Definitely.
Great. Lisa, when I said drop your buffs, it looked like you landed yourself a second
- Christmas. Am I right? - I'm on Survivor and you said
drop your buffs. Like, oh my gosh. Tick.
Okay. For today's challenge, at one end,
two tribe members will sit on spinning platforms.
From the other end, a different tribe member
will race out to that platform. Grab the rope
and pull it back to the starting line. When the puller gets back to the starting line,
the sitting, probably dizzy tribe member
then has to get up and make their way across balance beams.
Once both members are back, you need to get your entire tribe and your
flag from one end of the pitch to the other.
You have a number of objects to help you get
from A to B without touching the ground. First tribe, you get all six to their mat,
place their flag in the holder, wins reward.
Want to know what you're playing for? Oh, yeah.
Comfort, mats, cushions, and hammocks.
I'm even throwing in a little sweetener for you.
That's right. You're playing for peanut butter.
On top of that, also throwing in a little
bit of flour so you can make damper or camp bread.
Sounds like it's worth playing for.
Let's rip into it and see how these new tribes match up.
First up, for Chani, we have Dave running.
Matt, spinning.
Khangkhaw, we have Liam running. Tess, spinning.
For reward, survivors ready. Go.
Both these guys hauling down here now. Liam taking a wide berth.
You've got to get that rope back to the end.
Tess, spinning, flying now.
Halt. Halt.
Oh, my God.
Halt.
You all right, buddy?
You all right?
Get your eyes closed.
Any pain down where I'm touching, Tess?
Can you squeeze both mine and his hands?
Can you squeeze both mine and his hands? Yeah.
Yeah.
Do you know what you have for breakfast, Tess?
Rice.
Yeah.
Break out, Tess, is thinking it could be all done. It could be all over.
You all right? Yeah.
But I came here for the full 39 days. I'm not going down without a fight.
Not with that attitude, you won't, Tess.
Tess, good to see you're okay and keen to continue in this competition.
I knew she would just keep fighting.
Tess is strong in the mind, body and soul.
She's amazing.
I'm going to stay. I want to get to the end. I want to win.
We still need a winner, so we'll continue with the second phase of the challenge.
All right, setting this one out for Khangkhaw,
we have Tess, Adam, for Chani. For reward,
Survivors ready? Go! Great little team building exercise, this one.
We don't need that, do we?
Both tribes got the same idea at this stage.
Chani with the early lead in this challenge.
Oh, shut them off.
Eve touched the dirt. She's heading back.
Old tribe got to go back.
Nice, man.
Chani's pulling out in front now.
Nice.
We need it a lot.
Nice, man.
Khangkhaw will have to work hard to catch up.
Nice, guys.
We need a lot of communication in this one.
Khangkhaw catching up. They're neck and neck now.
Brad, leave the box. We're fine with the barrels.
Get the box. Yeah, yeah.
Let's crack a bit of hustle.
Are you all right? Well done.
Well done.
Chani taking everything with them. Starting to move into their second stage.
Slow across the top.
Nice and easy, guys.
Khangkhaw moving into stage two. But Chani aren't backing down.
Okay, guys. Just keep it together.
Easy, guys. Nice and easy.
Actually couldn't be any closer right now, this challenge.
What's happening over in Chani? They're bringing all their objects with them.
Is that going to cost them?
Keep going forward. Keep going forward.
Khangkhaw with their youngest person. Liam out in front.
Hey, focus, guys.
He's doing a good job. Chani starting to slip behind.
That decision to bring every item starting to cost them.
Yeah, leave it. Leave it.
Just go. Just amp it up, bro. Just take it. Just go for it. Just go for it, man.
Just go hard.
Khangkhaw's bare bones approach really working for them.
They're now a full plank length ahead of Chani.
All right, you got me?
Chani with a lot of work to do.
Quick, quick, quick, quick, quick.
Can Chani come back and take this one?
Just want to cross it.
Okay, guys. Just keep it together.
Liam almost on that man.
Walking it home now. Chani's struggling.
Liam's done a great job. Tara on the mat.
I'm good.
Come on. Come on. Hustle, hustle, hustle.
Matt dives for Chani. Renee follows, but it won't be enough.
Khangkhaw wins reward!
Clean up ball, baby.
Yeah.
I think he's got it.
Yeah.
Clean up ball.
Guys, we wanted a good matchup to start us off with these new tribes.
We got one.
Liam.
You led your tribe out from start to finish.
The youngest player out here, I think.
I just took a deep breath, filled with peanut butter.
I feel stoked about it.
So I understand you do have a pretty good set up over in
Khangkhaw, a set up that's just going to get even better.
Come grab it.
Peanut butter!
What do you think about that peanut butter, Eve?
Peanut butter's my weakness.
All right, Khangkhaw, enjoy your afternoon of lazy luxury.
Chani, it's back to the hard dirt and that bamboo bed.
Everyone, back to camp.
I need to get to know the new Khangkhaw
to sort of identify what our different strengths are,
but given that the original Chani is down six, eight,
having a three-three split across both tribes is actually a pretty good outcome.
I think our game plan is pretty simple
and it's to use the idol correctly to take out a Khangkhaw.
That's so awesome.
Well done, P.
Oh, that tarp, though.
Give us a look at this.
This is looking nice.
It looks like a home.
Everyone in Khangkhaw seems really awesome
and I'm quite excited to get to know some of them,
or all of them, who knows how this will happen.
Yes, now we're talking.
Peanut butter in bed.
Oh, my gosh, it's a good day.
Don't throw that out there.
Oh, that's shocking.
The new Khangkhaw.
Just want to say JT, Liam and Eve,
very happy to have you on our tribe.
Thanks for having us over here.
This is fantastic.
I don't know if I can especially trust a new Chani member that's just come over.
There's three of them.
Their chips are down.
They're going to be fighting for anything.
But you know what they say, keep your friends close, keep your enemies closer.
I will be keeping such a close eye on them.
- Cheers, team. - Cheers.
- New Khangkhaw. - New Khangkhaw.
Cheers.
New Khangkhaw.
Oh, hello.
Oh, my God.
I can't even go.
I think the mix-up has definitely thrown a spanner in the works in my game.
There's four old Khangkhaws.
Three of us Chanis.
I'm just going to have to go around some individual old Khangkhaw members,
see if any of them are, you know, feeling like they might sway.
I'm going to cry.
Oh.
What a day, man.
That is brilliant.
So the idol that was technically in my
possession was sitting in the lounge over at Chani.
If I was still with Chani,
it would be fine for it to be sitting in the
lounge, but now that we've swapped tribes,
definitely feeling quite vulnerable.
13 days in, guys.
Yeah.
What a way to celebrate.
Welcome to my crib.
Survivor edition.
Tour guides.
Oh, we're slipping out.
This is our flag.
Chani.
Yeah.
Look, you've got your own orchard.
It does look like it.
I might start on that fire anyways.
All right, come this way.
Love that coconut.
The grand tour.
I look at Chani and I love it.
This whole tribe swap has been the best
possible thing that could have happened to me.
Yeah.
- So there's our... - Oh my God.
Jesus.
Can't stop.
Yeah.
Here's our fire pit.
It's almost like a brand new game for me.
As long as the Chani's are all sticking together
and the Khangkhaw's are all sticking together,
then I kind of get to choose which way I get to go in this tribe.
Things are looking up for me at the moment.
That sunset's great coming through this way.
There's just absolutely no way I want to even
associate myself with that idol at the moment.
It's an idol I can't use.
It's the idol that Eve has, and only Chani know about.
But now is not the time to mention that.
Your camp's way better than ours.
That's a half.
You've got way more space.
There's no room to do anything because it's such a hill.
Mix-up certainly caught me by surprise.
I was just getting comfortable in my tribe,
especially with our little five-person alliance going on there.
It should hold.
But plan B is Aaron.
Having gone to the outpost with Aaron and we've already formed that alliance,
I feel like Aaron is a man I can trust.
And if that becomes the plan A, then so be it.
Where do you guys keep your shoes?
Wherever you want, bro.
Anywhere, bro.
Anywhere.
Sweet.
You want me to fill you guys' drink bottles at all?
Do you want a hand?
Whatever, I'm easy.
Oh, it's weird because we've only just gone peers, so.
Yeah, I'll come give you a hand.
I'll be honest, I'm pretty dark about the way the old Khangkhaw treated Keisha.
The biggest thing I can do is go straight to the Chani's
and give them a bit of information about Khangkhaw.
If I give them that information and just say, "Look, you
need to stick with yourself, but I can help you out,"
then, yeah, I think there could be some good things on the horizon for me.
I'm actually glad that I got you away from everyone.
Yeah?
Um, because there's seven Khangkhaw.
- Yeah. - Yeah.
I'm eight, so.
So, yeah, if you guys want to keep Chani numbers
and we go to tribal council.
Are you keen to go against your...
I'm all ears.
We kind of assumed that JT and Aaron were working together,
and if I'm right, then JT was the strategist behind Aaron,
and hopefully I can be the strategist behind Aaron now,
and we can move forward.
So, yeah, I'm really excited to wear the Chani dog.
Sweet, man.
Matt's just called me over to see a medic.
I'm not too sure what's going on, 'cause I feel fine.
- Eve. - Matt.
G'day.
You're not here to see a medic.
As you know, the idol, which is your personal property...
Yeah.
Didn't make it to your new tribe.
It did not.
I have it here.
Thanks to your buddy, Dave.
Am I allowed it back?
So the question is, do you want it back for yourself,
or do you want it to remain with someone in your old tribe?
As a tribe, we agreed that the idol should go
to the most vulnerable member of Chani.
With the tribe swap, I could potentially go home.
I'd quite like to take it for myself.
Well, in that case, it's yours.
Yes.
Don't want to tell you how to play the game,
but you might want to do a better job of keeping it in this time.
Yep.
I'll take better care of it this time. Thanks.
You're very welcome.
Thanks, Matt.
Having the idol as an option is pretty sweet at this stage.
If we lose the immunity challenge,
I will gift it to whoever needs it tonight.
Just to save our original Chani members.
♪ Happy birthday to you ♪
♪ Happy birthday, dear Dave ♪
♪ Happy birthday to you ♪
Hooray!
Yay!
Bittersweet spending my birthday playing this game.
I'm going to really miss my partner and family.
But seeing Matt's face, someone that I know,
definitely makes it a little bit easier.
There you go.
Do you want to?
Um, yeah, actually, I do.
Oh, great.
Matt and I went to the same high school together.
He was one of my best mates.
We got our tattoos done by the same guy.
I don't think anyone knows about our relationship.
But we've got to be careful about that,
'cause the way maybe we reacted when we
saw each other, I think it gave a lot away.
Dude, what the?
Long time coming.
I can't believe we ended up in the same tribe.
I couldn't believe that.
- Bro, when I got the perk, I was like, "I can't pick you because..." - I know.
I tried to put eye contact.
You haven't obviously told anyone about us, eh?
- No. - No, I don't.
I haven't said anything.
I'm with Lisa.
- Is he? - Yeah.
- Are you sure? - Yeah.
Adam saw him.
Adam saw him grab one.
Matt believes JT has an idol.
I don't think he was lying to me about that.
At the moment, we know that only he's got an idol,
but now is not the time to mention that.
I do want to work with Matt.
I think it's both of our interests to work with each other,
but I'm also not naive because he's right in there with the old Khangkhaw crew.
I'm sure he's got relationships there, so I trust Matt,
but I'm not, like, silly about it.
And then you just,
even after we make merge...
Yeah.
So was our camp all right, guys?
Yeah, it's nice.
Yeah, it's all good, man.
Thanks for having us.
It'll feel like home soon.
It's only Tess and I from the original five,
so we've got to both work with Lisa and Tara
and really not give away that there was only
a Tight 5 at the start or anything like that.
We are a collective group, and we've got four,
and we can certainly pick away at the three
Chani people that have come over to Khangkhaw.
So can we know what happened last night?
Oh, yeah.
Tell us about Tribal.
I'll let you take that, Brad.
What?
I remember first.
So Tara was one of the ones that wasn't...
I didn't know.
She didn't fully know what was happening,
but she had trust in the majority of the group.
You promised you'd entrust us to the blind and the wit, didn't you?
Yeah.
Why was it Keisha over Dylan?
I get the impression,
although Brad's trying to downplay it, that
there is some hierarchy in the original Khangkhaw,
and that Brad and Tess.
Appear to be the tightest members.
For a lot of us, most of us, there was something
just a little bit... We just couldn't quite trust Keisha.
Both Lisa and Tara are really smart women.
They must see the connection between Brad and Tess just as I do.
But I don't know enough about the original Khangkhaw to know what the best Avenue is.
If you move too quickly,
you risk blowing everything up.
And we just need to make sure that we know
who we're going for and we have a vivid plan.
- Yeah. - Yeah.
I know. Yeah.
He's been so nice.
I really do think that JT's got one.
He's a very smart character.
He knows how to play the game.
He clearly knows how Survivor works.
Yeah.
It felt different for Brad to come to me and wanna talk strategy
'cause he's never really done that before.
I guess he does suddenly see my value but only in this very particular circumstance.
But I'm fully
intending to stay strong with the Khangkhaw Four.
Help yourself if you do want.
No, I'm good.
I'm good at the moment.
I was just, I'm contemplating just gonna build up the energy to go up to that well.
Well, I've gotta go up 'cause Tess, I've just emptied Tess's.
Oh, I'll go up.
And I'm just about to empty mine.
Well, I'll go up.
You're cooking, I'll go up.
JT is definitely mysterious and my original perception of him has changed.
I thought he was quite conniving and maybe gonna play the game quite hard.
So,
I don't know with him.
He's, yeah,
quite a hard one to put in a box.
Really?
Who do you reckon?
Well, I'm kinda torn.
Just who, who can we trust to take with us for the furthest?
Brad and Tess probably tell each other more than they tell me and Lisa.
It's not concerning to me at this point because all four of us need each other
and it'll be detrimental to any one of us I think, if we flip and go the other way.
It was gonna get really difficult at Original Khangkhaw.
Now we have three new members that we can
sacrifice.
Hey, like, we, um,
not, like, gaming right now, like, just, like, outside of this.
Like,
yeah, like, it's okay.
Yeah.
Yeah, like, it's good.
It's okay.
Yeah.
No, I'm good.
Okay,
okay, okay, cool.
Just,
you know, if you ever do wanna, like,
just probably talk like this.
Lisa's a really interesting character.
She's really quiet and she seems to be really, really
honest.
Yeah.
Liam,
I've always had, like, a really nice feeling about him.
He's just such a lovely guy.
But, um, I mean, it's a survivor.
You can't trust anyone.
Feeling a bit nervous.
From the outside,
we thought there might have been a split in the tribe and we'd be able
to get in there and get on top of the numbers.
But, it looks like they're pretty tight.
So,
I don't know how we're gonna
wiggle our way in there.
If we don't get immunity, one of us old Chani's might be on the chopping block.
I feel like this is one that we need to win.
I'm feeling pretty good going into the immunity challenge.
We look strong.
We feel strong.
And if it's anything physical,
we've definitely got it in the bag.
Are you guys ready for another immunity challenge?
Yeah.
Yes.
First morning after a mixer.
How are you guys enjoying your new tribes? - Cool.
Yeah.
JT?
Mate, loving it.
Varieties of spice a lot as they say.
So, good to check out my new abode.
Eve,
a new camp for you.
What do you make of the set up at Khangkhaw?
I really like their set up.
They've got a nice pantry with some coffee and peanut butter.
It's a good time.
Yeah.
Brad,
how are you enjoying those comfort items?
Oh, absolutely fantastic.
This morning,
the morning after a big one,
got up, had a hammock to lie in, had a coffee,
a bit of peanut butter,
and some damper.
It was good.
Morale was right up there.
Matt,
new to Chani,
what do you make
of these new digs? - I love it.
Some flat ground is quite nice.
I kind of got sick of sitting on a
incline for the last 14 days.
So, I had to lie on something flat was actually quite welcoming.
And the grass is greener on the other side.
Dave,
I'll take old mate back.
There you go, man.
Cute.
Nice.
Once again,
immunity
is back on the table.
Well,
today's challenge you'll work in pairs
swimming out to a cage suspended in the lake.
There,
you'll untie knots,
release a gate,
and retrieve a fish trap.
Once you've collected three traps, one person will use the puzzle pieces
in those traps to assemble a puzzle.
First tribe to finish their puzzle wins immunity.
Gonna give you a minute to strategise and then we'll crack into it.
Okay, for immunity.
Survivors ready.
Go!
Both tribes off to a sensational start.
Matt and Adam first out for Chani.
Putting Chani out ahead of Khangkhaw.
Matt's got that gate open.
He's got his fish trap.
He's bringing it home.
Eve and Tess will have to work hard to try and catch up for Khangkhaw.
Eve's got her gate open, but she isn't quick enough.
Chani out to an early lead.
Chani with their first fish trap back.
Go Aaron and Dave.
Eve's coming back with the backstroke for Khangkhaw.
You can go!
Liam and Lisa are in the water now for Khangkhaw.
They're trying to catch up to Chani.
Aaron and Dave working on that second trap.
Chani bringing their second trap back.
Khangkhaw are just starting on theirs.
Liam and Lisa have got the gate up.
They're bringing that second trap back for Khangkhaw now.
But Chani is still well out in front.
You can go!
Chani away for their third trap as Khangkhaw bring back their second.
You can go!
Khangkhaw are catching up, but Chani are already working on their third trap.
Josh tossing that last trap.
They get that trap back here, they can start working on that puzzle.
Khangkhaw working on their last trap now.
Khangkhaw are on their way, but Chani are already back with a big lead.
Dylan can now unlock the puzzle pieces.
Tara and Brad are home now for Khangkhaw.
Dylan's got a lead.
JT's got his puzzle pieces now for Khangkhaw.
Anyone's challenge.
This is an immunity.
This is the test match.
Someone going home tonight.
Dylan's starting to place him out in front.
All the pressure on JT now.
This challenge is anyone's.
No one wants to go to tribal council tonight.
Not quite, not quite.
I don't know.
Dylan questioning himself now.
What's he going to do with that big lead?
JT's still working hard.
Once again these puzzle pieces are both sided.
You might want to turn it around.
Dylan working on that right side now.
Still out in front.
Dylan's on a roll.
Can JT catch up?
Still anyone's game.
Dylan looking good.
Is this going to go down to the wire?
Dylan's starting to look good.
Nothing in this now.
Dylan just got four left in the middle.
Just a couple pieces left now.
JT needs to get a wriggle on.
It's right.
Chani wins immunity!
Khangkhaw,
arguably not a lot in that challenge right up until the end.
Liam doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure
out that you want to win immunity challenges.
That's the test match,
right?
How's this tribe feeling right now?
Yeah, I feel that I think we're pretty
gutted out of that.
We put in our hardest but just didn't pull it away today.
Dylan,
you were handed a big lead.
Could you have done anything but bring home the bacon?
I mean, they gave me a good lead.
You know, they put their lives in my hands.
As a fan,
you want to come out here and you want to do this and you want to do really well.
So, I guess as Lisa would say, tick.
All right, well,
Chani,
congratulations.
Who's going to come up and grab Old Mate Idol? Dylan.
Thank you.
Peanut butter's good.
This is the only comfort I need, though.
Khangkhaw, you will be joining me at Tribal Council
tonight where someone will be voted out of this game.
You guys have the afternoon to figure out who that's going to be.
So after a day in Khangkhaw, I'm getting a vibe that they're really tight for it.
So I think there's a strong chance that they
will look to pick off the original Chani one by one.
Trade reward for immunity any day.
Oh hell yeah.
At least of course, you know.
It's a feast.
I'll put Mung back where he belongs.
I got a victory and it was a cool moment to,
you know, complete that puzzle but still that
kind of tinged in the back of my neck simply
because the swing boat is a very difficult position to be in.
I didn't expect Aaron to instantly go, yeah,
let's work with each other but I think coming
up to him really early on was pretty crucial
in getting him to, I guess, believe what I was telling him.
Great performance from you today.
One for the scrapbook.
Yes.
Put that up in the book, like into the puzzle.
I'm sure Dylan thinks that he won it all on
his own because he did the puzzle, you know,
without any help from us, God forbid, whatever.
If we weren't there, JT would have definitely had it.
There's a burning question.
Yeah.
Who is going home from the new Khangkhaw?
Oh, that's a hard one.
Well, do you think the Khangkhaw are going to stick together?
I don't know because those four are pretty random, eh?
For them going into tribal council tonight would be a good indication of figuring out
where everyone stands in that tribe because greatest concern thinking a bit further on
down the track when we hit merge, there's
going to be a lot more Khangkhaw than Chani.
So, I want a Khangkhaw to go home.
Probably depends how long people are thinking ahead.
Yeah, true.
Because if we're close to merge,
then getting rid of bigger physical players now is a good thing to do.
But you also don't want to weaken your tribe, because we're obviously stacked.
They only really had Brad.
Yeah.
And that would be a huge fail.
Because then they're almost guaranteed to get in trouble.
I'm so gutted we have to go to tribal.
Such a nice group of people.
Back at the old Chani, we went to Tribal Council a few times,
and the votes were really easy.
We kind of just... A name came up, and then it just happened.
But it's a completely different ballgame now.
We've been put in a really tough position,
and getting out of this one is going to take something big.
Yeah, there's been like a real slime craze at my school.
I feel like slime is something you'd be able to...
Like, it's a pretty easy visual test, right? Yeah.
It'd be hard to hide slime.
I'm not really like, "Is that slime?"
I'm like, "Hey, put that slime away.
"Yeah, right.
Yeah.
So JT's definitely got one.
So that's why we... Bugger.
In the ideal world, if there was no idols,
we would have the majority, and it would be smooth sailing.
We could just pick off JT.
Then we could pick off Eve and Liam if we wanted.
However, we think JT would have an idol,
so either Eve or Liam will have to go, hopefully.
The plan may never work,
and either Eve or Liam could have an idol.
That's, you know, a little bit...
the real trick with figuring out who's going to go home and execute the plan.
I reckon um there wasn't actually that much in
that loft today. What's that? There wasn't actually that much in that loft. Nah bro.
Both Eve and Liam are in a similar boat for all four of us.
They both seem really nice and they both seem like
people maybe in the future you could possibly work
with and maybe like a last resort can get someone to flip.
Yeah like I don't know it's obviously
we've got majority. Yeah. At the same time we've um
got to consider possibility of um you know idols and...
Yeah. You know JT seems like he's running the show but
I don't know but it's just from my observation.
I definitely feel that Brad has a suspicion
that JT has the idol so that potentially they'll vote for either Eve.
Or me. You guys seem like you're at the point
where you're gonna have to start making some calls.
Yeah. All of us are like. Yeah.
Being like um not saying you are but like anyone like
being biased and wanting to get you so far. Yeah.
Yeah it's kind of like adapt or adapted by. Yeah.
Interesting times. Yeah. My whole gameplay up
to now has been about playing it honest and trustworthy.
I want to stick to the old Chani.
I want to stay true to them. If I was to go against
old Chani that would just ruin everything I've done.
I just I don't know if I could bring myself to
writing one of their names down even to save myself.
The ideal scenario for us is that we can use our idol
to knock out either Brad or Tessa and that
opens up the whole tribe for some new dynamics.
I heard Brad and Tessa are sure I have an idol and will play it for myself so
they will likely target one of the other two.
At the end of the day it is Eve's idol and I don't want to make
her decision for her. It's a 50% chance of getting it right.
I feel really worried for Eve and Liam.
There's only three of us. Four of you. So, obviously
we're going to go with what you guys think.
We just need to convince the original Khangkhaws that
we're going to vote one of the original Chanis.
To see who they were thinking of voting out.
You guys have the numbers and we want to keep ourselves safe.
So, you just tell us who you want to vote.
The original Khangkhaw tribe members are pretty tight lipped.
They honestly don't know who the original Khangkhaw members are targeting tonight.
And we're kind of just going off vibe and speculation.
But I don't think there's anything else I can do this afternoon.
We're going to have to use the idol tonight.
Day 15 and the new Khangkhaw is first to face the music after the mixer.
Do you guys actually feel like one tribe?
Eve?
I'd like to think that we merged quite
nicely, but there were four original Khangkhaws.
And three original Chanis. So, it was a little bit imbalanced.
How does that imbalance affect things?
We've all kind of seemed to have got along quite well.
We've merged together as one tribe, but.
There is nothing to judge who to vote off because we haven't been together that long.
So, you have to look at the fact that there is four and three.
So, that's really the only deciding factor.
Are you still thinking we need to keep this tribe strong?
Or are you thinking maybe it's a good time to take out some threats right now?
It's a bit of both. I think there's a lot going
on. It's crazy. It's a thunderstorm. I don't know.
On day one, I said idols were in play.
Who was thinking about idols?
We're considering their vote.
There's a bit of speculation about what I've collected on my travels.
But it's bogus.
Bogus? Got nothing.
You buying that, Brad?
At this point in time, I'm not quite sure what to believe.
I've only known them for a couple of days.
So, this game's about trust and you've got to go on with what your gut is telling you.
So, I'm not sure what to make of that at this point in time.
Tess, what do you make of it?
I don't trust JT. I like JT a lot. I have so much respect for him.
But his words are like riddles. You just never know.
I'm here to take calculated risks and have a bit of fun.
But I think I'm as serious as anyone here about winning.
What's stronger now? Old tribal alliances or new ones?
Lisa?
It's all good, Lisa.
We won't be offended. It's fine.
I know, I know.
It's the game.
Are you going to talk with your head or your heart?
I'm not meeting my need for integrity to say
that old tribal alliances aren't the main factor.
JT?
I've been to a few tribal councils now.
I have always done exactly what I said I'd do.
So, the people from Chani know to trust it.
And I think if I stick around, Khangkhaw might learn too as well.
Right, it is time to vote.
Brad, you're up first.
I'll go tally the votes.
Right, if anyone has a hidden immunity idol and
wants to use it, now would be the time to do so.
Yeah, I will.
For yourself?
Yeah, for myself.
Is there anyone else who would like to play an idol?
OK, so any votes for Eve don't count.
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.
Brad.
Two votes, Brad.
Brad.
Three votes, Brad.
Liam.
Three votes, Brad.
One vote, Liam.
Liam.
Three votes, Brad. Two votes, Liam.
Liam.
Three votes, Brad.
Three votes, Liam.
The fifth person voted out of Survivor Thailand is...
Liam.
Liam, the tribe has spoken.
It's time for you to go.
I wouldn't trade a single second of my time here with you guys.
You're awesome.
You're awesome, Liam.
Sorry, Liam.
Take care, Liam.
A night of firsts.
First bloke voted out.
First hidden immunity idol played.
This game is really starting to heat up.
Everyone, back to camp.
Next time on Survivor New Zealand.
The original Khangkhaw
have the numbers and the control.
What if we lose the next two immunities?
We've got even JT, obviously.
But in a new tribe,
Dylan finds new opportunities.
I'm not on Khangkhaw anymore.
God bless.
This scenario right now is perfect for me.
And the old Chani go on the attack.
If we take someone big out,
they'll help us no longer.
This is going to stamp a big Mark in the game.
If we just detonate the bomb, bro, the target's going to be on our back.
Somebody had to go.
It was an awesome group of people, so no hard feelings.
I don't want to change a second about how I played the game.
I played exactly how I wanted to play it.
I wanted to be honest.
I didn't want to throw my friends under the bus.
I think Brad is the man behind everything at Khangkhaw.
Awesome person.
Unfortunately, it's you.
But you're a legend.
He's definitely pulling the strings, aren't he?
