JEFF: Previously on Survivor:
Michael provided fish
and took his leadership role
to new heights.
MICHAEL: Dear God, thanks
for making me the leader of the troops.
KIMMI: Mike thanks God for making him the leader of the tribe.
I don't know when he was anointed,
but apparently my back was turned.
JEFF: At Ogakor, Kel,
the loner, was the one serious about fishing.
We do need to get some fish.
KEITH: Our plan for getting food is, uh...
we don't really have a good plan, actually.
JEFF: And Jerry muscled in on Chef Keith's domain.
JERRI: There's a bunch more things we can have than rice
and I'm ready to start making some of them.
KEITH: She if she wants to cook some tortillas for breakfast,
I think that's fantastic.
No worries, mate.
JEFF: Rodger struggled
with the reward challenge.
RODGER: Water is not my finest point.
Come on, Rodger!
JEFF: At the immunity challenge, Kimmi, the vegetarian,
secured a victory for Kucha by swallowing a mangrove worm...
sending Ogakor to Tribal Counsel were Kel was voted out.
Kel, the tribe has spoken.
14 people are left.
Tonight, one more will go.
MICHAEL: Ultimately, this game is about the million dollars,
but you need to take
small steps along the way to get there.
And some of the small steps along the way to get there
are eating, because none of us
are going to win the million dollars if we don't have
protein in our bodies and we can win the challenges.
You guys, there's more food to be had Oh, yeah.
that we haven't explored yet.
We still don't have food
as a priority in this camp.
What's your chances of catching a pig?
JEFF V.: Pig hunting, since we haven't seen, like,
an abundance of them, you know, it's like there's Or any.
one out there, you know what I mean?
We just walk around and hope that during day
we run into this big pig the size of a table.
Mike wants to go out four hours a day
and look for food because Mike is hungry.
Nobody else is up for that.
I'm going to find something that's alive
that we are going to kill.
I am very, very determined to get a pig.
They got to drink sometime
and there's got to be tracks somewhere
and I'm going to ambush one.
Hey, Jeff, where's that spear you made?
I didn't finish it.
But if you're going
to use it for a spear, then...
MICHAEL: Once I see a pig, it's going to be a, you know,
an incredible act of exertion to try and get.
But I'm going to build a spear
with the knife on the end,
and then I'm going to run one down,
and I'm going to get as close as I can
and I'm just going to kind of, you know,
figure it out from there.
This isn't about
running out looking for a hardcore hunter.
This is about ... doing something that's realistic.
That is not realistic.
Mike, I'm a little worried you're going to lose that knife.
And I'm glad you brought that to my attention,
and I will absolutely, positively not lose this knife.
I hope he loses our knife,
just to give a valuable reason to go off on the bastard.
ELISABETH: We have one knife,
and that one knife, it might as well be food, but he
wants to go and spear a pig.
Really? Have we seen a pig?
We haven't seen a pig. I haven't seen a pig.
Believe me, if I see a pig, I'll want to eat it,
but to just go spear just because
you want to come back with one on your stick
and be, like "Rah, rah"?
I don't know.
This is a pig killer.
JEFF V.: The spear. The spear.
The stupid spear.
"I'm going to go catch pigs."
And he takes our knife and our rope.
That's classic Mike. He's an idiot.
I want to see your pig.
Go get me a pig.
( chuckling )
TINA: To be honest, I didn't expect
this adventure to be this hard.
I find myself just craving food.
Doritos-- I want a bag of Doritos
more than anything in the world.
COLBY: We haven't had any meat in a week now,
and the lack of protein
hasn't taken its toll yet, but it's going to.
MARALYN: I think I'm going to go check for messages.
There it is.
Oh...
Great aboriginal fathers, be kind to us.
I haven't opened it yet.
"It's time to rise to the top
"or make a big flop.
"On your shoulders
"will rest the tribe's fate.
"For the food you've been wishing,
"you'll need gear to go fishing,
so try not to get crushed by the weight."
Sure as hell could use some fishing line.
Oh, my God.
I think the main thing
that's been keeping us from getting fish
is our fishing line,
so this is a huge reward today.
AMBER: I'm worried about running out
of food and running out of rice.
And we've been trying to eat it sparingly, but...
You got to eat.
It's going to run out sooner or later.
I would love to catch a fish out there or something.
KEITH: It's going to be physical, no matter how you look at it,
but what we're trying to decide
is whether it's a group effort
or if it ends up falling on one person,
and if we have to choose one person, well,
it makes no sense not to choose, uh, Colby.
He's the strongest, my God.
You're the strongest.
Yeah, I saw you throw that one up real quick.
You got 20 years on me, trust me. You bastard.
MARALYN: Cowboy can handle
any challenge.
TINA: He would die before he would fail us.
COLBY: I would like to think
that, win or lose on this deal,
that my stock wouldn't fluctuate at all,
and people can say, "Colby, don't worry about it.
"We don't want to put any pressure on you.
If you don't pull through, it's no big deal."
But internally, I don't think that's the case.
JEFF: Come on in, guys.
Today we got a great challenge.
Before we get to it, though, I want to show you the reward.
It's an outback fishing package,
complete with line, hooks, lures and a net.
You got your nylon. That's awesome.
Now that we know what we're
playing for, here's the challenge.
It tests your strength, balance and endurance.
The object is for both tribes
to get all these buckets of water
loaded onto the shoulders
of the other tribe's strongest member.
The one who holds the buckets the longest
without falling or quitting wins.
Each tribe is going to select
one person to be the water bearer.
It should be your strongest person.
You're also going to have a person who is your loader.
This person's going to be loading the buckets of water
onto the shoulders of your water bearer.
So when you get out there,
Ogakor will take the water from Kucha
and vice versa, and you will load it onto your water bearer.
The rest of the people are going to transport the water
out there, and you're going
to do so with one of the beams across your shoulders,
a bucket full of water on either side, and you'll make your way
across the balancing beams.
If you fall, you got to start over.
You want as much water
in your buckets as you can handle because your water
is going on the opposing tribe's water bearer.
Ogakor, you've chosen Colby to be your water bearer.
Kucha, you've chosen Michael.
Survivors ready? Go!
Oga! Oga! Oga!
Go, Kucha!
RODGER: Hang on, Liz.
Get your balance.
Good job, Amber.
That a girl. No worries.
RODGER: Take your time.
Do your thing.
( cheering )
Good job, Amber.
Good job.
All right, Livvy.
Elisabeth. Yeah, girl.
No. No. No! ( water splashing )
All right, Kimmi.
( shrieking )
Good job. Good job.
( grunts )
Damn it!
RODGER: All right, Elisabeth. Way to go.
Keep it going, Kucha!
That a way, Maralyn. Good job.
That a way, Mad Dog.
( indistinct talking )
( cheering )
Come on, Jeffrey.
You got it, buddy.
JEFF: You guys run out of buckets, it's endurance.
We'll take good care of you tonight, cowboy.
Don't even think about that one.
This sucks. This sucks.
JEFF: Colby and Michael,
you guys now have all the buckets.
That means you're each holding more than 400 pounds of water.
Whoever holds on the longest wins.
Come on, Mike!
( screaming )
( indistinct shouting )
ELISABETH: Bring it on!
You can take ten more, Mike.
You're the man! Whoo-hoo!
( indistinct shouting )
We believe in you, Mike!
He's shaking, Mike. You're not, baby.
( indistinct shouting )
JEFF: Hold on. No decision.
Great job, Mike.
Great job!
66 buckets, both these guys took on their shoulders.
Michael's pole broke before anybody quit,
that means there's no winner.
So now you guys are going to do a runoff.
We're going to do a five-minute timed race.
The tribe that gets the most buckets
on the other tribe's water bearer's shoulders
wins this.
Survivors, ready?
Go!
Nicely done.
That a girl.
JEFF: You got four minutes.
Eight buckets Ogakor, six buckets Kucha.
We're all even at ten.
Two minutes.
Kucha, 14. Ogakor, 12.
20 seconds. Ogakor up by two.
Hang tough. Hang tough!
Make it there, Kimmi.
JEFF: Five, four, three, two,
one-- Ogakor!
( cheering )
Let's get out of here.
I don't want to hear them scream anymore.
( women laughing )
TINA: I can't wait to get the food
you don't have to work your butt off so to hard to get.
I mean, we have done fantastic on a small amount of food.
You get food in us,
and we're going to be unstoppable.
There you go.
Winning this competition means a lot more to us
than just bringing home a bag of fishing supplies.
These are the days when it comes down to morale,
and the mental edge going into this.
And we're three and one now.
The stats are pretty good for us.
I certainly don't think
this answers everything.
We still got to catch the fish.
The fish aren't going to jump into our camp.
MITCHELL: At the time, I didn't think
that reward challenge was very important
because something told me
there really wasn't a lot of fish out here.
And it sucks that they didn't give us the fish.
They give us the means
to catch the fish.
AMBER: You had one. I saw it.
JERRI: Yes, I did. Whoa!
That is awesome.
I don't know what part we can touch that he won't slice us.
Okay. All right.
There you go.
AMBER: I'm proud of you.
I got it off the hook.
I couldn't stop smiling.
Keith said there were no fish.
He said, "There's no fish out there."
Him and Kel both were saying that for days and days.
Holy...
They were practically jumping in the boats.
Chef Keith, you're going to be proud of us.
Here we go now.
We need the fish gutted and scaled.
When they came back with fish,
they immediately said, "Oh, where's the chef?"
The "chef" word's never been used before.
Check that out.
KEITH: As a chef, my strategy was to come in here
and create just spectacular dinners and meals,
and until now,
we've had zero luck at doing anything from the rivers
or from the flora, for that matter.
AMBER: Today is day seven, and we have caught our first fish
so actually, that's not too bad.
It did take us a week, but hey, it's better than two weeks.
KEITH: How did I know that
once the fish is caught,
I'd be the guy filleting these?
AMBER: You're doing that really well.
Especially with a dull knife. He's doing exceptionally well.
MITCHELL: Yeah, really.
JERRI: I think right now,
everybody's pretty happy
that Keith is there to cook the fish
that we've been catching.
I know sometimes he says things to other people
that kind of rub them the wrong way,
but I'm probably the one
who gets irritated with him the most.
I'm aware of that.
KEITH: Here we go.
We'll just bread those in the flour,
crush up the salt a little bit.
Put the salt on it
and bread it with the flour.
We just don't have oil, but it'll be okay.
I say we don't waste the flour.
COLBY: The most tension in the tribe seems
to be between Jerri and Keith.
With the cooking and everyone responding well to her cooking,
( whistles ) that put them on a level playing field there,
and so there's not really a power struggle yet,
but it could definitely come to that point.
MARALYN: Keith, we're all hovering over you
like a bunch of greedy sharks.
KEITH: Like I'm doing a cooking class.
COLBY: Even when Keith was
over filleting the fish,
I noticed there were several eyes paying attention,
and what that tells me is that his stock
didn't go up at all. You know,
all he did was basically play
the role of instructor on how to cook fish.
MITCHELL: Ooh, it looks a little bit like a fish fry.
COLBY: Oh, it smells so good.
Yes, it does, indeedy.
I can't wait to try it.
KEITH: Maralyn.
Oh, wow! Thank you.
Oh.
Oh, yes.
That's good. You like that?
TINA: Yeah. The fish that Keith made was excellent.
That was like a blessing 'cause we were starving.
We were so hungry.
Mm.
So his first meal wasn't that great,
but his first meal
of fish was fantastic.
Oh, my God! It is so good!
KEITH: Tonight's dinner was definitely a success.
Is it good?
Oh, my God.
KEITH: Since cooking the fish,
I think my stock's gone up a good amount.
I think the team has been pretty
excited about what I've been able to do for them.
It is so good.
I've never had such a great meal.
But you know what?
Jerri could do that, I could
even do that.
So having a chef out here
isn't as crucial as he may think,
because we don't have a lot to work with.
KIMMI: I'm usually on top of the water.
I filled up eight jugs this morning,
and now I refilled up... this is the second one,
so now I've done
ten jugs of water.
Are you all right, Kimmi?
Yeah.
It's a lot of work
because you've got to boil this crocodile creek water
before you can drink it.
You got to go down and fill the big jug
and then go up,
boil the water, let the water cool,
put it in the big container.
I mean, it doesn't seem like you're contributing a lot
because it's gone, as soon as it's there, it's gone.
I got to go tend to the water.
RODGER: I have noticed the amount of work
that Kimmi has been doing.
And it seems to be a whole lot more
than really just about anybody else.
She's really worried that she's going to be the next one
to go.
KIMMI: I sometimes feel vulnerable because I don't have
a tight, tight bond with somebody
that could be pulling for me in my corner.
Yeah, that might be a bad thing
because I might be just, like,
"Oh, easy target, pick Kimmi off."
All right.
This means that I boiled everything in this jug.
MICHAEL: Really?
Every job and task that Kimmi takes on in this camp
can be taken over by somebody else, for sure.
Kentucky?
RODGER: Yes, ma'am, what?
Do you have lotion? You all good?
Yeah, I just put some on a little while ago, thanks.
JEFF V.: Well, there's sort of a little battle between
Kentucky Joe and Kimmi.
Some of the people in the tribe feel that
we will be stronger without Kentucky Joe.
I'm going to try to catch some fish this morning.
Make a new line.
ELISABETH: I know in the beginning
there was talk of voting Rodger off
and I tried really hard to rally people not to do it
just 'cause I feel strongly for him.
ALICIA: Kentucky Joe, although he's not a strong member
of this tribe as far as challenges are concerned,
he knows what he's doing outside.
Back to the drawing board.
Maybe we'll catch one this time.
I always heard that the best place to catch them
is where a stream runs into a river.
I was out here looking for sinkers
to make a new fishing pole with,
and I found a little rock out here about that tall
shaped like a heart.
He said, "Here you go. What's that look like?
And I said, "A heart."
He said, "You take that with you,
give it to your boyfriend when you get back."
And he said, "You just know I care."
And it just... it just touched me.
Thanks a lot.
You're welcome.
Me and her, it just seemed like we hit it off right off the bat.
You're so good.
Well, thank you.
You're a sweet little gal, too,
I tell you what.
Your parents got a lot to be proud of with you.
ALICIA: Elisabeth said she
won't vote off Kentucky Joe, and-and she protects him.
ELISABETH: It matters so much to me that he's around,
so I'm not writing his name down. Uh-uh.
I will not spell that man's name.
MARALYN: ♪ When I'm on the street where you live ♪
♪ I have often walked down this street before. ♪
Hey, you, girlie-girl.
Hello.
I just followed your voice.
Was it that loud?
TINA: Maralyn, she's kind of like our little song bird
and our little cheerleader in our camp,
so Maralyn and I have bonded more so
than I have with any of the other people.
It might be our ages,
it might be that we just kind of took up for one another.
( laughs )
...Now seriously... Mad Dog?
Nothing hurts Mad Dog.
MARALYN: Tina is a fabulous woman.
She is a star.
I trust Tina the most.
Um, I do not trust Jerri.
COLBY: You like crunchy peanut butter or creamy?
Crunchy.
Got to have crunchy.
Yeah.
Black coffee or cream and sugar?
Cream and sugar.
AMBER: There could be something going on between Jerri and Colby.
I mean, from the very first day,
she told me how cute she thought he was.
And at first she didn't think that he liked her.
And I was, like, "Jerri, it's only the second day."
JERRI: I'd really like it if Colby and I got together.
He's exactly my type, plus, he's a cowboy
and I'm such a sucker for cowboys.
Cake or ice cream?
Oh, cake.
Oh! I dig ice cream.
( chuckles )
Oh, Jerri... Jerri and I are getting along great.
Every day we have more fun flirting with each other
and seeing how far we can kind of push it.
Chocolate chip cookie or oatmeal raisin?
Chocolate chip.
That wasn't really a fair competition.
( laughs )
Oatmeal raisin never stood a chance in that battle.
KEITH: Oh, I think
Jerri is legitimately attracted to Colby,
but I'm sure that strategic play comes... is involved,
there's no question.
COLBY: I always feel guilty when somebody's giving me a massage.
JERRI: It's all right, though.
I really, I don't mind,
especially after today,
what you did to your back.
KEITH: I think Jerri's approach is just a lot of...
she wants to really feel important.
She's already got Colby on her side,
but she gets on his side
rubbing his back and, you know,
nuzzling at night, you know, that whole thing,
sharing the blanket, all that kind of stuff.
So it's natural for Colby just to gravitate
and a little smoke screen goes up
and so he doesn't necessarily see certain things.
Or maybe he does and I'm just not aware of it.
COLBY: At this point, I'm not sure if Jerri has ulterior motives.
Jerri is very capable of deceiving me
or anyone else in the tribe.
And maybe she's not, maybe I'm wrong.
But, uh, I still can't let my guard down.
JERRI: You're pretty relaxed.
If it came down to me having to vote for Colby...
I would.
ALICIA: This is spear grass.
See how tall that is? Yeah, that's definitely spear grass.
That is spear grass.
JEFF V.: Alicia and I,
we went for that foraging walk
together intentionally.
I've thought a lot about the voting,
and I wanted to be able to get away with her
and just have her think about the future
and who would be the most
valuable to have with us in a final four,
that we could beat.
JEFF V.: You and I are committed to each other
for that final four. Right.
Because the truth
of the matter is, I feel like
you're the only one I really trust, at this point.
Wow!
Look at the size of that one.
That is a major spider.
ALICIA: Jeff and I are constantly
scheming and planning about how this thing should go.
Now, Elisabeth can't be in the final four.
She can't be 'cause she'll make it to the end.
Yeah. And I don't think Nick can be either.
We talked about, you know, who we're going to vote for now,
who we're going to vote for next time,
who we trust, who we don't trust.
ALICIA: Nick flies under the radar.
Nick flies very much under the radar,
and Nick is a total player.
I don't trust him as far as I can spit.
I mean, I feel Nick would screw all of us.
Nick is very lazy.
Don't let me take the fire with me, as I drag this through here.
He won't pick up anything, he won't lift anything.
If you ask him to help you,
he'll act like he doesn't hear you.
Thanks. NICK: I'm sorry.
I didn't hear what you said.
JEFF V.: That's okay.
I'm zoning out.
You know what? He's too secure
in his position right now.
Yep, absolutely.
JEFF V.: He's done our kitchen, which is lovely.
And he's built a lovely little outdoor chair
and he's built a lovely little patio, but only because
he doesn't want to do anything else.
NICK: Mentally, you need to feel like
you're comfortable where you are.
And that's why I built the kitchen.
I mean, the kitchen serves, you know, little purpose,
but it looks good, it makes you feel comfortable.
It's noticeable that you're doing work,
which makes people happy.
Nice!
I kind of built you a recliner, Rodger.
Hey, you get that done where I can sleep in it.
KIMMI: I just don't see the necessity
in making benches when we need firewood.
I think that that's not a priority,
I think that's a luxury.
JEFF V.: Unfortunately, we need him,
so, you know, what can we do?
He's one of our stronger people, but...
when we get to a point where somebody in our group has to go,
he's going to be the first.
( thunder rumbling )
MITCHELL: When it rains, it's a scary moment.
If the fire goes out, everything around us is wet,
and we only have a couple matches.
JERRI: It was at the point where it was almost out,
and there was hardly any light coming off of it.
And no heat at all.
Do you have some of that grass?
It was really raining hard.
We were not going to let the rain win over our fire.
It just wasn't going to happen.
( thunder )
TINA: Tired.
That was a rough one.
Cold...
rainy...
pretty miserable.
MITCHELL: My side of the tent was all wet,
so I had to sleep in wet clothes
with a wet blanket and sand,
and I can't recall sleeping even a full hour.
MARALYN: Last night was a hard night.
It poured.
I mean not just a little drizzle, it just poured.
KEITH: People fight sometimes, they put the fire out.
We were up all night trying to keep that fire going.
I think the hardest thing for me so far has just been trying
to catch up enough sleep so the body's ready
to go into combat in our challenges.
JERRI: Everybody's kind of getting a little lethargic.
The fish definitely helped,
that was a big morale booster.
But I sense we're kind of on a downslide right now
and it kind of scares me a little bit.
MITCHELL: When you think about how low you are on nutrition
and how hungry you are,
being tired just... just quadruples it.
Getting mail is always an exciting thing,
but I was so weak walking up that hill to get the mail,
it was treacherous for me.
And I knew,
I knew that inside there would be a challenge
that I may not be able to do,
and that was a depressing thought for me.
( rattling ) We got mail.
Sweet! Percussion!
MITCHELL: "I think that you'll find that your tribe's in a bind,
"between a hard place and a rock.
"But if you work as a team, it's not as hard as it seems.
Pull together and your win is a lock."
JERRI: Ropes-- maybe tug of war?
COLBY: Bind.
"Bind" in here, which means maybe something's bound
with ropes. Maybe we're all going to be tied up
or something. "Rock and a hard place,"
probably going to have to do with rocks.
Gosh... I'm a little weak for climbing rocks.
COLBY: It's not the time to be weak, brother.
I know.
COLBY: I'm dragging.
This is the most tired I've been.
Personally, I'm a little worried about myself.
I know I'm not going to be as strong going into this one
as I have been in the past.
Come on down, guys.
Welcome to your toughest challenge yet on Survivor.
Let me get that immunity idol.
Today's challenge is very simple in concept
and very tough in execution.
It's an obstacle course.
You're going to start by racing through a log chute,
then you'll go down a steep sand slide into the river.
On the other side, you'll go through a series of obstacles.
Then, finally, you're going to sprint across the sand
to the finish line.
It's going to require a lot of physical endurance, flexibility,
and teamwork, because here's the twist:
you're going to go tethered as a team.
( laughter, groaning )
You're only as fast as your slowest member.
Wow.
If somewhere along the way
a tribe member can't go any longer,
you can carry them, but they have to finish.
The first tribe to get all their members across the finish line
wins immunity.
Here we go, guys.
Survivors ready!
Go!
Go, go, go, go, go! Good, good, good, good!
Good, good...
Good. Come on, back there.
Come on, come on, come on, come on.
Good, good, good.
Look out, look out, look out.
Go, go, go!
( yelling )
Get on your belly.
Okay. Come on.
Hang on, hang on, hang on. Come on, come on, come on!
Wait, wait, wait...
Go, go, go!
Go, go!
We got it! We got it!
Don't pull, don't pull.
You gotta slow up a little.
Go, go!
Dig deep, dig deep, dig deep!
Go, pick it up, pick it up!
Come on, come on.
Go... go...
Come on!
Wait, wait.
( indistinct shouts )
Come on! Come on!
( indistinct shouting )
Stand up, Rodg, come on now!
( woman yells )
Go! Side by side.
Stand up, Rodg, stand up!
( yelling )
We got 'em, we're way ahead.
Stay on your feet.
Let go of my hand.
Stay on your feet. You're pulling me back.
Come on!
Rodg!
Get up, get up, get up!
Get on your feet! Get on your feet!
Pick it up! Get on your feet!
Go, go, go!
( yelling )
Go, go, go!
Pick up your feet!
Come on!
Stay on your feet.
Stay on your feet, guys.
Come on!
Come on, pick it up!
JEFF: Right here's the finish!
Come on, Rodger!
( yelling )
Ow!
Come on! Ah!
JEFF: Last member across!
Last member across!
Touch the table. Everybody.
Touch the table.
JEFF: Kucha!
( cheering )
Immunity!
( panting )
ELISABETH: Good job!
Good job, guys. Oh, my God!
Good job, Kucha!
We did it.
Oh, my God...
We did it!
Yeah!
( whooping )
Yes!
( trilling )
( gasping, muttering )
You digged deep. You did it, Pops.
I can't breathe.
Give him space.
Kucha, this is yours.
You want this, Jeff? Oh, my God!
( whooping, cheering )
JEFF: Ogakor...
you guys know what I'm here to tell you. Yeah.
Tribal Council, one of you guys will be going home.
You guys always said, when it comes to teamwork
and heart, Kucha's got it.
Kucha's got it.
KEITH: Our last immunity challenge was a real tough one.
Mad Dog Maralyn, you know, she had a difficult time.
MITCHELL: Had we voted for Maralyn last week, and not Kel,
I can almost guarantee you we'd have immunity right now.
COLBY: She's ready.
She'll be very understanding.
We're going to need Keith.
TINA: The mood in the camp is a sad mood,
but it's also a very strategic mood.
Everybody's thinking, "Who's thinking what?"
JERRI: There's been five of us:
myself, Colby,
Mitchell, Amber and Tina,
who've kind of decided to all vote the same.
KEITH: My vote's not going towards Maralyn.
We've had a lot of physical challenges up till now,
but I'm sure
some of them are going to be mental,
and I think Maralyn
could prove to be an asset.
Why should we lose her?
For what, 'cause she fell a few times,
'cause she's older? Why?
What kind of team is that?
She works her ass off.
She's the first one up every morning with me--
you, me and her.
Mitchell does all right,
but he struggles.
And, you know, he doesn't do a lot of work.
When was the last time you've seen him go up the hill
and get wood? Never.
Mitchell's the weakest of our strength
of getting a lot of heavy work done.
When it comes to the challenges...
Maralyn, I think,
is stronger than he is in the challenges.
And all we need is just the four of us.
No pressure.
TINA: Thanks, Keith.
KEITH: I could be
cutting my own throat doing this,
but at least with Colby, we can discuss it,
probably disagree upon it and it'll stay with us.
COLBY: Keith's wanting to put you
you on the chopping block tonight.
And he's got Maralyn with him and he came to me and Tina.
Strategies are starting to develop more
and go in different directions,
and the more we learn about each other,
the more you start to second-guess what you've done.
Keith is trying to pull around a swing vote
to try to get me out.
Why would we want to kick off
our fun Maralyn
and then keep the pessimist and the backstabber?
KEITH: You guys ready?
COLBY: At this point,
Keith and Mitchell and Maralyn
are neck-and-neck for Tribal Council tonight.
So let's talk about the fact
that you guys have been here...
nine days?
Yes.
JEFF: You're in the honeymoon stage.
It hasn't even begun yet.
So I just want to talk about a couple of big topics: trust.
Colby, is there anybody here
that you don't trust,
that you wouldn't trust? Sure. Sure.
Tell me about that.
Well, I think that's part of the game.
It's way too early to tell exactly
who you can trust, I think.
What about you, Mitchell?
You trust everybody here for 42 days?
Uh I think the motto is "trust no one."
I have a lot of faith in a good number
of these people, but I couldn't give 100%
of my trust.
What about you, Mad Dog?
Are these all your buddies?
Yes.
Yes, and Jeff, I trust with my heart.
JEFF: Jerri,
who here would you say
you're closest to so far?
Um... I've been very fortunate
in my ability to bond
with Amber
and Mitchell
and Colby,
in particular.
I think friendship does
enter into it at some point,
but it's very important
to keep that separate from the game.
It's two totally different things,
and that's where it gets tricky.
JEFF: Keith, who have you bonded with?
Uh, several individuals.
You know, and I guess I equate the bonding
different than friendship.
I think it's more of a camaraderie for me
than it is an actual friendship.
MARALYN: Jeff,
I'm conjoined with Tina.
JEFF: Really?
( laughs )
She is a constellation.
And...
the cowboy.
Yeah.
Oh, the poor cowboy
has dragged me around
so many times.
I'd do it again.
I appreciate it, Cowboy. You hear that, he'd do it again.
I'd do it again.
Colby, are you sad at all tonight?
Yeah, yeah, I am.
Because any way the vote goes on this,
the seven of us are really tight,
so the inevitable is here.
We're broken up after tonight,
and that's tough.
No matter which way it goes.
JEFF: It's time to vote.
Mad Dog, you're up first.
Mitchell, it just seems
like you're tired.
JERRI: This is probably one of the most difficult things
for me to do right now.
It's purely strategic.
It's nothing personal.
I am going to miss you dearly.
Mad Dog, I love you,
I value your friendship
more than anything.
This vote has everything to do with a promise I made.
It has nothing to do with you.
I hope you'll understand.
I'll go tally the votes.
Once the votes are tallied, the decision is final,
and the person will be asked to leave
the Tribal Council area immediately.
I'll read the votes.
The first vote...
Jerri.
Maralyn.
Mitchell.
Mad Dog.
Three votes, Mad Dog.
And a very sad Mad Dog.
You need to bring me your torch, Mad Dog.
Mad Dog,
the tribe has spoken.
It's time for you to go.
Bye.
JEFF: Well, I don't think I have to ask
how you guys are feeling tonight.
I think the last vote probably says it all.
Grab your torches,
head back to camp.
Stay tuned for scenes from next time,
and Maralyn's final words.
Next time on Survivor:
Will Keith and Tina wage war
against Jerri?
I didn't come out here to be pushed around
by a bartender wanna-be actress.
JEFF: And at Kucha, has Michael's
blood lust gone too far?
Oh, my God, oh, my God, oh, my God...
We've reached a new level.
MICHAEL: If I go out, I'm going out full.
( wry laughter )
I cannot thank you enough for selecting me,
and this experience has meant so much to me.
At 52, I could feel myself really coming alive.
Oh, hell, I'm tired.
Did this all really happen?
Did I... did I do this?
