JEFF PROBST: 24 days ago, 16 survivors were abandoned
in the Australian Outback.
The eight remaining members of the Barramundi Tribe
have now made it past the halfway point.
Tonight, in a special episode of highlights
and never-before-seen footage, we'll take a closer look
at their adventure thus far.
I'm a captain in the U.S. Army, and for them
to question my integrity
over a piece of beef jerky means a lot to me.
RODGER: Maybe I've been playing
the Kentucky Joe part
a little bit too much, and maybe I need
to come out a little bit more.
♪ I've been a bad, bad girl. ♪
JEFF: Day 1 found 16 strangers abandoned
in one of the most unforgiving places anywhere on Earth--
the Australian outback.
As two separate tribes, Kucha and Ogakor,
they gathered whatever supplies they could carry
and began a five-mile hike to find their camps.
It didn't take long
for certain personalities to clash.
DEBB: You got the compass?
Nick, stay in the front, Nick,
and keep us going north to northeast, okay?
NICK: Even from the beginning, it was funny, like,
people were automatically getting on people's nerves.
We were walking through the grass,
and Kimmi was, like, "I can't stand, uh... Debb."
KIMMI: Debb's not even a bad person. She means well.
It's just, she's not somebody that in the outside world
that I would talk to, because she'd make me crazy.
See, if we're going southwest,
how are we gonna hit the dry creek bed?
Because that's north! That's right.
You all right, Maralyn?
COLBY: That trek let me know
that this was for real.
That was a long trek we had, through deep sand,
and that fired me up, because that is the quickest way
to find out what people are made of.
This rice is very heavy.
I really want to get there soon.
( whooping and cheering )
JEFF: Once the tribes had found the flags and canoes
that marked their beaches, the mood was upbeat.
( whooping )
But with night approaching,
Kucha and Ogakor turned to the serious task
of assessing their living conditions.
DEBB: We got enough
rocks here, too.
We could build a pretty decent shelter just using rocks.
MITCHELL: Colby, his luxury item
was the Texan flag, which is great, because
it covers us and blocks us from the wind and the sun.
COLBY: Don't get me wrong.
When I wake up in the morning, there's two things
I'm thankful for: I'm thankful I'm alive,
and I'm thankful I'm a Texan.
JEFF: Keith and Jerri got off to a shaky start.
It was... No, but it's not gonna to stay.
KEITH: And before it was here.
But, see, we put it
on the grommet for a reason,
so that the flag wouldn't rip.
You can't. You won't be able
to go through that on a flat surface.
JERRI: Tension between Keith and I...
I think him and I kind of...
rubbed each other the wrong way.
JEFF: On the first night at Ogakor,
sleep was hard to come by,
thanks to Colby.
( loud snoring )
( snoring continues )
( whispering ): God. Has anybody gotten
any quality of sleep?
Colby.
( continues snoring )
KEITH: We added a new sound
to the outback out here.
Jesus. All these critters are going,
"What the hell is that animal?
( laughing )
I snored?
KEITH: Trust me, you were snoring.
It's like you had sucked sand into your nose.
COLBY: Oh, man!
It doesn't bother me much,
but might explain why I don't have a girlfriend,
I don't know.
( women groaning sympathetically )
I hate to say it, but you're probably right.
( laughter )
MITCHELL: I'm a little annoyed
because I'm waiting for Kelly to pull his stuff together,
'cause we're going to go fishing,
but it should be a good trip
'cause he might tell me some things that might be useful
to any strategies
that we may have planned.
I mean, he's a nice-enough guy,
but if there is one person to vote off right now,
it definitely would be him.
See, there's like a rope hanging
from that limb over there?
All right, now I see it.
I wonder what the other team is planning.
MITCHELL: I'm sure they're talking about
alliances and everything else.
Do you think they'd be talking about that,
that early in the game?
MITCHELL: I don't know.
KEL: So, we have nothing in here.
MITCHELL: Do you see anybody
as the weakest yet?
Everybody has some very strong strengths.
I mean, have you thought about that?
I mean, obviously you have, to ask it.
Well, I think we all have;
it's kind of inevitable.
In a few days, we're going to have to.
Right?
KEL: You don't ever learn anything by talking.
You learn things by listening.
And, right now, I'm listening to them.
I'm learning about them.
Tell me who you think is the weakest, then.
I don't know.
Maralyn is probably the weakest.
Part of me thinks to maybe even go
for the most threatening too, you know?
I'm trying to decide which way to go.
KEL: I think Jerri and Mitch would look at me
as someone they would vote off because I would be potentially
dangerous to them because I'm mentally and physically strong.
We're good. We can head back.
JEFF: Voting strategy wasn't the only thing on the Survivors' minds.
Fire quickly became a priority for both tribes.
KIMMI: I'm angry!
Angry, angry, angry, angry, angry, angry!
DEBB: Man! You're generating some sparks!
KIMMI: We tried every way to get this fire going.
And yes, I was smashing the rock.
And, you know, but I made it into an energy release,
because you just can't say to people you're a jerk-off,
shut up, so you focus your energy somewhere else,
and you're fine.
Fire.
( Jerri whooping )
( Jerri squealing )
JERRI: Oh, my God! Look out!
JEFF: Despite their efforts,
neither tribe succeeded
in generating more than a few sparks
and a little smoke.
MARALYN: Until we can get a fire and boil water,
we're not going to be eating much of anything.
JEFF: But luck was about to change
for one tribe.
The first challenge brought the hope of fire
and immunity.
Waterproof matches.
One of the things we're playing for tonight, right here.
We're also playing for something else--
the immunity idol.
It was Ogakor who had the first taste of victory.
Your reward: waterproof matches.
( cheering )
And that night, they had their first taste
of hot food, as well.
KEITH: Okay, guys,
one vegetable paella coming up.
JEFF: But professional chef Keith
didn't quite live up to his credentials.
AMBER: I was pretty surprised the first time I tasted the rice.
I was really looking forward
to a warm meal.
And the first bite was nothing like I imagined.
I'm not complaining,
I promise, but...
It's hard to eat.
JERRI: The first time Keith made rice,
the rice was way undercooked.
I hate to say it, but it wasn't really very good.
COLBY: I don't think the first batch of rice went over real well.
In fact, I think it
went over like a pickle in a punchbowl.
Anyone want seconds?
JEFF: On Day 3,
the torches were lit for the first Tribal Council.
For Kucha, there was little question
about who should be the first person voted out of the tribe.
She's very set in her ways,
she doesn't like to be second-guessed,
and it makes it very hard for us to deal with her
in any kind of group dynamic.
At this point, I think
that Rodger would probably be the smarter vote,
but I think that the group dynamics
and people fitting in well together is important,
and Debb is definitely on the outside with certain people.
She just chooses to be independent,
and she's just a strong-willed person.
It's not a bad thing, it's just not what I need.
First person voted out of the tribe...
is Debb.
The tribe has spoken.
It's a reward.
Oh, my God.
"A leap of faith is not for the skilled,
"Just step off the edge,
BOTH: try not to get killed."
JEFF: With Day 4 came the first reward challenge--
one that gave Rodger something to worry about.
RODGER: Today's challenge
is probably going to be jumping off a cliff
into some water. I just basically
learned to swim right before we came out here.
Plus I just never did like heights.
( whooping )
( yelling )
Come on, Rodger! Let's go, baby!
JEFF: Though Rodger gave his all,
it wasn't enough to secure a Kucha victory.
Ogakor crossed the finish line first, and walked away
with two warm blankets
as their reward.
RODGER: For five quarts of beans,
I'd have jumped off there again.
I think.
Well, after we came back from the award challenge,
it's right down the river here a ways,
there's a rapids running through there.
Hey, guys, everybody in the hot tub!
ALICIA: We have a rock bed with all this water,
just, like, cascades down. It's like a little waterfall.
Like little white rapids.
We all, like, ran and got in.
It's just like a Jacuzzi, and it's become Kucha Jacuzzi.
ELISABETH: It just felt so good on our muscles,
and I think for the first time,
all the workaholics in our group
took, like, ten minutes
to just think about the fact
that we jumped off a cliff!
Rodger!
ALICIA: Rodger, come on.
We got a Jacuzzi going over here!
Work your way over there.
Oh, man, that's... Whoo, that's cold!
But it feels good.
KIMMI: I think that our morale is
more positive to see that Kentucky Joe
was able to take the swan dive off the cliff and be, like,
"You know what, I might not be the best at it,
"but you know what,
I'm not going to let my team down."
And that is just like a greater triumph than two blankets.
Hold on. I'm losing my trunks here!
I'm losing my trunks!
JEFF V.: Now, who would have thought Rodger
would be the first one naked?!
I'll just sit here.
MICHAEL: There's that fine line between the physical weak link
and one of the strongest morale builders.
You know, we all kind of
you know, gather around him
for that father-figure type of thing,
so I'm just trying to decide how important
that's going to be to my ultimate survival.
Whoo! I could sleep down here tonight.
I know.
RODGER: As far as what they've been calling me-- Kentucky Joe--
yes, I've been kind of playing along with that.
I'm kind of playing
the old dumb farm boy,
schoolteacher, dirt poor,
and maybe I've been playing the Kentucky Joe part
a little bit too much.
And maybe I need to come out a little bit more.
I didn't want the others to have the impression
that I'm ready to leave, 'cause I am not.
I'm here for the duration, if that works out.
JEFF: On Day 5, a storm brewed at Ogakor
in the form of a blue bikini.
First, Jerri muscled in on Keith's cooking duties.
There's a bunch more things
we can have than rice, and I'm ready
to start making some of them.
KEITH: She wants to cook some tortillas for breakfast.
I think it's fantastic.
Actually, it's a break for me, you know?
No worries, mate.
JEFF: Then she accused Kel of smuggling beef jerky.
JERRI: And I saw him put something in his mouth,
and it was, like, dark-brown colored.
I believe her, actually.
JERRI: To think that someone in our own tribe
would be sneaking in
extra stuff, especially food.
While Kel was up on the hill,
they rifled through his bag.
TINA: There wasn't anything in there at all,
but all I was thinking about: if I find beef jerky in here,
it's going to be ugly.
How you guys doing?
You guys were talking about that you thought
I was eating beef jerky.
It was a blade of grass.
And I smushed it up into my jaw, and
I was chewing on that.
I was just chewing grass.
Nobody had any right to go into Kel's bag.
It would be very big of us to apologize.
No. Okay.
MARALYN: Gee, whiz,
things are heating up at our encampment.
Okay.
Oh, my butt!
Watch it there. Careful...
Really? Whoa!
KEL: I only learned that they went through my stuff
after Keith told me.
We took a boat ride, and he said,
"Hey, you know what?
Those guys went through your stuff
to check to see if they could find
this magical beef jerky.
And it's not there in my stuff.
I mean, it's not there because I didn't bring it.
If somebody has something to say about me,
they should have had the guts, you know, to be able
to come face... to be face-to-face with me and say,
"What's that in your mouth?"
you know?
Our bags had been checked
before we got out here.
I mean, there's no way I could
have had beef jerky
after I was swimming in the water
or on my gear or anything, or have it out here.
KEITH: Any type of relationship, you have...
stress points.
I've already had mine with Jerri.
These individuals here aren't trying
to cohabitate for life. KEL: Sure.
They're trying to cohabitate for a million dollars.
KEL: I don't disagree
with you on the fact that I want to win every day.
Absolutely.
I want to win all the competitions.
I have no problem with that.
But you have to understand that...
you know, I'm a captain in the U.S. Army,
and for them to question my integrity
over a piece of beef jerky...
Can I finish, please? KEITH: Sure.
...over-over a piece of beef jerky means a lot to me.
As you've noticed in the last few days,
I'm a good person, but I'm also very simple,
and I don't do a lot of talking.
I'm not the life of the party.
Maybe it bothers you guys
that I'm, um, not as talkative as you guys are,
and-and maybe that... rubs you guys the wrong way.
Kel, they got caught up in this beef jerky frenzy,
and nobody had any... nobody had any right
to go through your bag.
Your attitude about all of that was, uh...
incredibly controlled, because if it had been me,
hey, I probably would have torn the whole camp down!
Somebody went through my bag? Hello!
Everybody on this whole team
considers you a valuable part of the team.
Oh, that is very true. Big asset. And we just
don't want this to, uh, rub you the wrong way.
Well, look, it doesn't rub me the wrong way,
because I don't get upset very easily,
and I can't even remember the last time
I've ever gotten angry.
I mean... I just don't get angry,
and I found this more comical than anything.
I was just... I was going, "Who are these people?
"Why are they... where do they... where do they come from
"that they just think that this captain is going
to jeopardize his career over a piece of beef jerky?"
Either they don't like me, which is quite possible,
or they want to sabotage my character
as a way of making me someone
that's not desirable for an alliance.
And that's too bad if they're playing the game that way,
'cause I'm not going to play the game that way.
I'm not going to play it dirty,
and I'm not going to bring this issue up to them,
because it's just going to develop more confrontation.
But it does bother me but, um, the main aspect right now
is to develop a solid team.
NICK: "The next challenge may go too far.
"Just say, 'Rub-a-dub-dub,'
"thank God for the grub, close your eyes,
plug your nose and swallow hard."
We're eating. We're eating bugs!
NICK: We're eating something.
JEFF: On Day 6, Kimmi felt
the pressure of the second
immunity challenge.
( loud retching )
Let me go last.
I'm a vegetarian,
which means I don't eat land-dwelling animals.
I'm not eating amphibian.
I'm not eating reptile.
I'm not eating mammal. I'm not eating fowl.
JEFF: But in a tie-breaker,
she pulled through by swallowing
a mangrove worm,
securing Kucha's first immunity victory.
( Kucha cheering )
At Ogakor's first Tribal Council,
Kel couldn't overcome the stigma
of being the loner and accused beef jerky smuggler.
The army captain was deserted by his tribe.
You made it too easy to cast this vote too early in the game.
The only comfort I have in voting this way
is the fact that you brought this on all by yourself.
I know you're probably a good military person,
but you're the person
who least likely tried to fit into our tribe.
If you were lying in the Simpson Desert,
dying of thirst, every single one
of us would give you
a drink of water.
Thanks for playing.
We have some nice parting gifts for you.
The tribe has spoken.

( applause ) TINA: Fiona Apple's hard to sing.
Yeah, she's very hard to sing.
JERRI: You think so?
It's totally my key.
JEFF: By Day 7,
Mike was becoming more restless
about the food situation.
MICHAEL: I think people are
still recovering from the coldness of the night,
but, uh, I kind of wish
that everybody would take advantage of the, uh,
early morning fishing,
'cause I think we could get a lot of fish.
We were going to have seven poles
in the water this morning.
Maybe they're just relying on me to bring in the fish.
I do know that bringing home food does secure me longevity
in the tribe, which is
an equal, uh, incentive
to go out getting fish as my yearning for food.
So it's double.
MARALYN: ♪ When I'm on the street where you live ♪
♪ I have often walked... ♪
JEFF: By Day 8,
Maralyn was feeling secure with at least one
of her friendships.
MARALYN: Tina is a fabulous woman.
She is a star.
I trust Tina the most.
TINA: Maralyn and I have bonded
more so than I have
with any of the other people.
It might be our ages.
Go!
But at the immunity challenge,
it was Maralyn's stumblings
that robbed Ogakor of a victory...
Kucha!
JEFF: ...sending them back
to Tribal Council,
where Maralyn again asserted her bond with Tina.
I'm conjoined
with Tina.
JEFF: But she learned
the hard way that, at least in this game,
friendships aren't always worth a million dollars.
Mad Dog, I love you.
I value your friendship more than anything.
This vote has everything to do with the promise I made;
has nothing to do with you.
I hope you'll understand.
It kills me to do this to you.
It was difficult to watch you get
all scraped up in those challenges.
Fireside concerts will not be
the same without you.
The last nine days have really taken their toll on you,
both physically and emotionally.
The tribe has spoken.
It's time for you to go.
( indistinct chatter )
JEFF: On Day 10, Mike continued to obsess over fish...
every last bit of them.
Livers and kidneys. These are hearts.
And these are... I'm not sure what the dark purple things are.
Those are probably the pancreas or something.
I don't know. And this is...
I don't know what this stuff is, but it was just in one of them.
I scaled these puppies, too.
We're having fish skins today.
These are the fish eggs.
I ate the stomach,
and I ate the heart, the liver, and, uh,
I think the pancreas.
And... He's crazy.
Um, these are
just the leftover... At least he's cooking it now.
the leftover... At least I'm cooking it now.
ALICIA: He used to eat it raw.
And we had eyeballs last night...
or two nights ago.
Mike eats fish guts,
but Mike eats things that just aren't necessary.
Why eat a fish eyeball?
It has zero nutritional value, as far as I know.
MICHAEL: The only part of the fish
that we haven't eaten at this point
is the actual outer core of the head-- the skull.
KIMMI: Let me just clear that up.
Mike eats just about everything.
Mike ate the eyeballs,
Mike ate the pancreas, the liver, the kidney,
the intestine, the stomach.
I like the intestines, but...
Not all of us are eating that.
He's the only one that ate eyeballs.
JEFF: And when Mike went out
to catch more fish, Jeff got annoyed.
JEFF V.: Mike bumped me out of the boat to go fishing.
It wasn't right, and I wanted
to go off on him right then and there.
But then I thought, no.
How can I use this situation to my advantage
in garnishing respect from the tribe?
Which is exactly what I did.
Jeff?
I'll take you fishing later.
It's okay.
KIMMI: So, you didn't say anything?
No. I don't care.
KIMMI: All right.
If they can catch fish, they can catch them.
ALICIA: Everybody should get a turn.
This is not "first person
awake gets in the boat."
Wake somebody up and say, "I'm going fishing.
Did you want to come?"
That's so easy to do.
If Jeff said no,
then it's on him.
But, no, right away, the decision is made.
Mike is up, he's going.
And they just got in the boat and left.
That cannot happen.
It just can't happen.
Say something to him, then.
This is, this is a group, people.
I will say something.
'Cause things have to be fair, you know?
It can't be like that.
JEFF V.: Alicia was, like, "Well, fine.
If he wants to do it that way, we're voting him out."
There it is
on a silver platter-- conflict.
I'm in the middle of it,
but it doesn't look like I'm in the middle of it.
That's the way I hope things sort of play out.
( animals and birds chittering )
JEFF: On Day 10, Kucha was back in action.
They won three chickens
and a rooster at the reward challenge...
( indistinct chatter )
( cheering )
JEFF: ...much to Kimmi's dismay.
KIMMI: Wait, don't break her wings off!
RODGER: We ain't gonna hurt her.
Who's next?
KIMMI: Can't they give us some edamame,
some tofu? ( laughing )
JEFF: And just when Kucha
seemed to have it all,
Michael made good on his promise
to bring in more food.
On Day 11,
he killed a wild pig.
( pig squeals )
JEFF V: Mike killed a pig,
and there's going to be
a lot of ham and bacon and pork
coming up in here.
What is wrong with you people?!
This is sick.
I live in a sick tribe.
Ooh.
ALICIA: It's good, right?
Mmm.
Whoa. We're going to get strong now.
JEFF: That night at Ogakor,
there was no banquet-- just more rice.
Damn, that was good.
TINA: Should we play our game now
before everybody gets sleepy?
JEFF: With morale low,
they decided to try something new.
MITCHELL: After supper, Tina--
she started the idea that since we were all feeling down,
since we were all having
a negative attitude toward each other,
that we should, uh, go around
and say good things about each other.
Say positive things.
KEITH: Jerri.
Jerri, Jerri, Jerri, Jerri.
Well, we've had our differences.
And we probably always will.
But from get-go, it was rough, it was rough.
And, uh, rightfully so.
I mean, we're thrown into something to play a game.
But in a different place and a different time,
it would be much different.
Thanks, Keith.
TINA: Very honest, Keith.
JERRI: We still have Keith to go here, all right?
Yup, that's right.
JERRI: I'm going to go first.
It's-It's hard, because
I can be a little bit of a control freak.
And I know that.
But, I'm...
I mean, I... If I in any way
have... hurt your feelings, or...
any of that, I'm truly sorry.
I don't have a problem saying I'm sorry.
That was something I just felt I wanted to do.
'Cause if I, I didn't want to hurt anybody's feelings,
I didn't want to step on anybody's toes.
And I felt such a great sense of relief after that.
Well, I-I definitely feel better
expressing this, 'cause holding it in
just sucks.
( chuckling ): It really does.
KEITH: Her apologizing to me was just enormous,
and, uh, we were able to wipe the slate clean.
I'm very glad that I've gotten to know you, Keith,
and I... you know what?
Someday, I-I really want to taste your cooking.
Man, you know it, and you're going to,
if I got to shove it down your throat...
JERRI: No, you won't have to.
KEITH: ...piece by piece,
I'm going to feed it to you.
Jerri, I'm real impressed with you saying,
you know, saying that you were sorry.
Sorry is a very hard word to say.
Jerri was on my last nerve,
and just her expressing to the tribe
I know I have these controlling issues
made all the difference in the world to me.
Well, don't we all feel better after this?
ALL: Yeah.
I do. I like this game.
JEFF: On Day 12, Kucha continued their hot streak
by winning another immunity challenge.
"C" is right.
Kucha wins. ( cheering )
So, Ogakor went back to Tribal Council
for the third consecutive time.
And though there was a plan to oust Keith,
it was Mitchell who was taken by surprise
when some members
changed their strategy at the last minute.
Man, you know this is nothing personal.
But I'm here to win.
Let the games begin.
And when I get to New York,
I'm buying the champagne for dinner, buddy.
You add some tension to the group at times,
and my hope is that by eliminating you,
we eliminate a little bit of that friction.
Two days ago, this would have been much easier
than it is right now.
I'm very glad we buried the hatchet.
JEFF: Two rounds of voting
resulted in a tie between Keith and Mitchell.
In the Survivor rules, in a deadlock, you go to votes cast
in previous Tribal Councils.
Tribe member with the most votes
is the person voted out.
How many votes
have you had cast against you, Keith?
None. Mitchell?
One.
One vote is the difference.
The tribe has spoken.
Having lost three members in a row,
Ogakor was in a downward spiral.
( thunder rumbling )
Things didn't get any better
on Day 13.
Friction developed between Colby and Jerri
when they had to build a stretcher
for the reward challenge.
I think it's great.
I'm saying instead of starting it over the top,
start it underneath.
From underneath. See what I'm saying?
No, I don't see what you're saying.
God bless America. This...
JERRI: Does Colby seem like he's in
kind of a bad mood?
AMBER: Yeah. Yeah, definitely.
Oh, my God.
AMBER: I don't know if one of us said something.
I mean, I said something.
I don't know.
Dudes are weird.
( laughing softly )
I mean, he did seem pretty stressed.
Maybe he's just, like, you know,
I just want to be by myself for a little bit.
We have no reason to be stressed.
We built an awesome stretcher.
And I want to help
make him feel better, if I can.
This whole thing is stressful enough
without adding more stress.
JEFF: For the fourth time in a row,
Kucha came through with another victory.
( cheering )
And Ogakor reached a new low.
I'm so tired of losing.
Don't let them break your spirit.
JEFF: Although Kucha
was a well-oiled machine
at the challenges,
there was hostility back at camp.
Alicia and Kimmi clashed over the chickens.
KIMMI: What the hell is up your butt?
Do not yell at me about the chickens.
I am not getting... But don't jump
all over me, sweetheart!
Don't wave your finger in my face and mumble
under your breath. I will always wave my finger...
You want me to say it to your face?
Yes, say it to my face. Yes, I will be happy to.
I'm saying it to your face right now! Thank you!
I'm tired of you and the ( bleep ) chicken!
AMBER: "Just keep your wits,
"and you'll make it with ease.
"The prize is the idol,
and that's much better than cheese."
JEFF: When the note arrived
for the next immunity challenge,
Ogakor decided to take charge of their desperate situation.
COLBY: It is going to take
every ounce of-of keenness, of smarts, of strength,
of everything we have.
The excuses are done.
Check them at the door,
and let's-let's get down to business.
It is going to be one hell of a show today,
and it's, uh,
you know, I think we're as ready
as we're going to be.
Come on!
( indistinct chatter )
JEFF: The pep talk worked.
Ogakor made a sterling comeback at the maze challenge.
Yeah!
Come on, go, go, hurry up!
( screaming )
AMBER: Oh, yes! Whoo!
( thunder crashing )
JEFF: Kucha was finally forced
to return to Tribal Council.
She and I have not got along from the beginning.
The whole food thing is really becoming an issue.
It separates her from the rest of the tribe.
This could be a nasty game, but you have to play with class.
For a strong Kucha, it's the best vote.
You're a great girl,
and I look forward to the banana split
on the other side with you.
The tribe, and Mother Nature,
has spoken.
Kimmi took the fall for the disharmony
at Camp Kucha.
With the merge of the two tribes
now just around the corner,
Kucha still had a one-member advantage
over Ogakor, the importance of which
was not lost on the tribe mates.
NICK: We're really hoping
to go into the merger six to four, and that way,
we could just basically pick them off one by one.
JEFF: But before the next immunity challenge
could take place, tragedy struck the Kucha Tribe.
( Michael screaming )
ELISABETH: Get in the water.
You okay?
( agonized groan )
ELISABETH: Oh, my God!
He's burned; he's burned pretty bad, Teri.
Here's some water. Give him water.
JEFF: Michael passed out and fell into the fire,
severely burning his hands.
NICK: Stay in the water, stay in the water.
Do you want me to come in with you, Mike,
and swim with you?
Look at these things.
Oh! Oh, Mike.
Keep your hands in the water.
NICK: Oh, my God.
I'll have you lie down there, Mike.
We're gonna get you home.
( screaming )
See you, Mike.
Hang in there, buddy.
MICHAEL: I love you guys.
You guys do what's right.
You guys know what to do.
JEFF: His evacuation left Kucha and Ogakor
with five members each.
The field had unexpectedly been leveled
for the upcoming merge.
On Day 19, the merge was put into motion
when tree mail arrived
for the two tribes.
"Boys' night out.
"You've wondered for weeks
"what's their camp like.
"So, here's your big chance.
"Send your scouts for the hike.
"The men will go visit while the women remain.
"Cook a big dinner.
There'll be guests to entertain."
So, we'll stay here.
The guys are going to come to our camp.
We'll cook dinner for them.
They're going to cook dinner for you guys.
I better iron a shirt!
( laughing ) Oh!
BOTH: "Girls night out.
"The women will go
"visit while the fellas remain.
"Cook a big dinner.
"There will be guests
to entertain."
JEFF V.: So you guys are going
over there, and those girls
are coming over here.
They're keeping the chicks apart.
JEFF: The survivors believed
they were sending scouts
to assess the livability of each other's camps
and decide on a home for their new tribe.
Fee, fi, fo, fum.
I smell the blood of a Kucha Tribe.
What's up?
Hey. Hi.
JEFF: But Ogakor was expecting the men of Kucha.
ALICIA: Can I tell you how funny this is?
The guys are expecting you guys. Yeah.
No! We have... We have all the...
Anybody home?
JEFF: And Kucha was expecting the women of Ogakor.
What? What's up, fellas?
How you doing, Nick? Good.
So, your note said what, boys night out?
KEITH & COLBY: Boys night out.
JEFF V.: Ours said girls night out.
RODGER: Ours said girls night out.
We were expecting the women over here.
COLBY: Rodger,
I'm real sorry, bro.
I didn't even bring a skirt with me, so I can't
do anything for ya.
( laughing )
JEFF: During the visit, Jeff felt there were too many cooks
in Kucha's kitchen.
KEITH: ...Roasted. You pop 'em right out.
They'll eat like candy.
It's like the tenderloin of chicken.
JEFF V.: We knew Keith had brought some type of big pan
for his luxury item, and we knew that
he was somewhat of an arrogant little whatever,
and so he comes over and he immediately starts
futzing with the pan.
You want things to boil over.
You do? Yup.
JEFF V.: You know, it's what we expected.
I just hate Alicia's not here, because
I think he probably annoyed her most.
( laughs )
JEFF: Back at Ogakor,
the girls fantasized about food.
Hot fudge.
I'm, like, craving a hot dog and...
Cashews and pistachios.
ELISABETH: We're torturing ourselves.
We are absolutely torturing ourselves.
Have you ever had different flavor Tootsie Rolls,
like cherry Tootsie Rolls and...?
JERRI: Yes! And vanilla.
Vanilla?
ALICIA: They are yummy.
JEFF: On Day 20, everyone agreed--
Kucha camp was the place to live.
JERRI: They have a kitchen.
They have all these wonderful things.
I am so stoked about going to their camp.
We've got mail!
Whoo! JEFF: But the survivors were thrown
for a loop when a tree mail note told them to start
from scratch on a new beach.
ELISABETH: Anxious. "You have just 15 minutes
"to get all your work done.
"Hike back to the crock swim.
"The map shows you the way.
Take all that you can, but the canoe's got to stay."
Oh!
We were ready to pack up and move to Camp Kucha.
Roll up the flag inside.
And when we looked at the map,
it was a completely different spot.
Maybe they're doing the same thing,
and we're gonna have a whole new camp.
Yup, I think that's what it is. New place.
Damn it!
Things are never easy around here.
We were a little angry about it.
Six minutes.
KEITH: I was really frustrated with it.
I just didn't want to leave there.
Just... You know, we were there,
we were comfortable. It was a real pain.
Let's go.
JEFF: The ten remaining
survivors reunited and named
their new tribe Barramundi.
They then toasted their merge.
ALL: Yay!
( cheering )
ALICIA: You know, it was really kind of interesting,
because in the middle of all this celebrating,
this game is still being played.
Every minute of every day.
JEFF: Alicia was right.
The first immunity challenge for Barramundi proved,
old tribes die hard.
After lasting ten hours in an endurance contest,
Keith, who had prior votes stacked against him,
asked Tina to let him have immunity.
Hey, Tina?
Hey, what?
I need this.
TINA: I looked over at Keith,
and Keith said, "Tina, I need this one."
He must have really thought
that he was gonna get the votes cast against him.
It's the hardest thing
I've ever done to come in.
Yeah!
JEFF: With the immunity talisman around his neck,
Keith was protected from the voting
at Tribal Council.
It was just the advantage
the old Ogakor tribe needed.
We learned early on in the game
that you had one vote against you previously.
It was a, uh, strategic move
that was determined the first week we were here.
JEFF: After another double tie, this time between
Jeff and Colby, Jeff's vote
from a previous Tribal Council came back to haunt him.
Colby, how many votes have you had
cast against you?
Zero.
Jeff?
One that I know of.
Enough.
JEFF: Jeff was the first member voted out
of the Barramundi Tribe.
Jeff, the tribe has spoken.
( birds calling )
JEFF: By Day 22,
the remaining members of the old Kucha Tribe decided
it was time to fight back.
RODGER: You know we're just sitting ducks now.
ALICIA: You know what?
Sitting ducks sitting by the fire.
It's not fun anymore.
Laying down and talking to everybody
at night is not as much fun as it used to be.
ELISABETH: We're not here to sit back and wait
for someone to vote you off.
I just really would love
to just light a fire under everyone.
Well, that makes me sick.
I'm not going to sit here and be a sitting duck.
ELISABETH: If no one else wants to keep playing, I'll do
whatever it takes to stay out here longest and keep...
keep Kucha going.
JEFF: Elisabeth led the fight by taking shots
at the weak links in the Ogakor alliance.
ELISABETH: I think there's a crack in their tribe right now.
Pay attention to Jerri and Tina,
because I think Jerri and Tina have issues.
I try to stay away from cooking, so I don't have to be judged.
Ah!
ALICIA: Elisabeth,
although she comes across as a very meek
and mild kind of person,
she is a serious competitor, believe me.
Elisabeth is a force to be reckoned with.
ALICIA: See, look at them.
JEFF: Elisabeth's hunch about
the wavering Ogakor alliance
wasn't farfetched. Even
Colby was ready to sever all ties with Jerri.
Um, have you ever considered
leading Keith and Tina to believe that you
want the three of them to be the final three? Maybe...
COLBY: Oh, they're fully
convinced that's what's gonna happen.
Oh, they are? I mean, they...
COLBY: I was painted into a corner
and-and had to lie to her
to convince her that
there wasn't anything going on.
I didn't like the fact
that I had to lie, but...
because I was lying to Jerri,
I didn't lose sleep over it.
JEFF: On Day 24,
Keith won his second consecutive immunity challenge,
assuring once again
he could not be voted out of the tribe.
Again! ( applause and cheering )
Congratulations.
JEFF: But at Tribal Council,
Elisabeth's efforts to get Jerri voted out
fell short.
The fragile Ogakor alliance held.
Girl, you are strong inside and out, and, uh,
that's the main reason why I have to vote for you,
because you're threatening.
Not only do you intimidate the hell
out of the women around here, but also the men.
They are scared to death of you.
This is just strictly part of the game,
and it's part of our process.
Final vote...
JEFF: Alicia was the eighth member to go.
Alicia, the tribe has spoken.
JEFF: But she will return as the first member
of the jury that ultimately decides which
of the final two tribe members will be the sole survivor.
The remaining members of Barramundi must now
carefully consider their voting strategies,
because old tribal loyalties are now less important
than the good will of this new jury.
JEFF: Stay tuned for scenes from our next episode.
Next time on Survivor:
Go!
The winner
of the reward challenge
is flown to an exotic location.
And tribal loyalties start to unravel.
COLBY: We're talking about a lot
of money at stake.
No, I understand that, I understand that.
Kucha Tribe's in a great position,
because we are going
to sacrifice one of our Ogakor members.
Whoo!
BOTH: Get it, get it, get it!
Get it! It's right there!
Right there! ALICIA: It's right there.
Get him, get him. What is it?
ALICIA: You got him! You got him.
KIMMI: What is it? Whoo! What is it?
ALICIA: Can we eat it? It's a prawn.
KIMMI: It's a prawn. Yay!
We need a bigger bucket.
We need bigger... We need a pot.
What do you want me to do?
Here. Take it.
( Alicia hums nervously, Jeff V. laughs )
Oh!
Oh, no! ALICIA & JEFF V.: No!
