JONATHAN: Previously on Australian Survivor...
I was like, "Ahh!"
..with the Spice Girls alliance reunited...
The band is back together.
..Liz spilled the details of the plan to blindside Hayley.
GEORGE: The fact that the Villains are turning against Hayley
is alarming to me.
And he made sure to tell Hayley at the Reward Challenge.
GEORGE:
At the Immunity Challenge...
Got it, George? Ahh!
..the super-stacked Villains tribe...
Gonna get tough in the wet, guys,
so make sure you're gripping your bag.
..held on for victory.
(LIZ SQUEALS)
(VILLAINS CHEER)
At camp, Flick and Matt
were on the chopping block.
MATT: Yeah, I've decided. I'm 100% in.
But when Matt pledged his allegiance to George...
If I say I'm loyal, I'm loyal.
..and Flick made a deal with Shonee and Liz...
You're not gonna dog us, are you? No, I wanna work with you guys.
..a power struggle...
..threatened to break up the Spice Girls.
GEORGE:
LIZ:
At Tribal Council...
..when Liz threatened to save Flick with her idol...
Oh!
..Stevie was sacrificed to keep the peace.
The tribe has spoken.
12 are left.
Who will be going home tonight?
(PEACEFUL MUSIC)
Ooh, Georgie! Oh! Oh, it's George.
Dude, I thought it was, like...
(FLICK LAUGHS)
(BOTH LAUGH)
Seeing George strip off like that, I think he just needs
a little bit more sun on those buns.
They were quite brioche white.
Shut up! I swear to God.
In your life? I've never done it.
(GEORGE SIGHS) I kept thinking about poor Stevie last night.
SHONEE: Aw.
I think he's gonna have nightmares about that Tribal
for the next 10 years of his life.
Oh, God.
I felt like last night was a make-or-break moment.
Liz and I made it extremely clear
that we wanted Flick to stay.
And I'm glad that our alliance was able to compromise with us.
Thanks.
Thanks. Seriously. Mm-hm.
Very appreciative.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
I feel like merge is just around the corner
and I know that's when you really get a spring in your step.
And I am excited to have Flick a part of this girl gang.
The girls really have to look out for each other now.
Yeah.
(BOTH LAUGH)
(UNSETTLING MUSIC)
I just don't think Shonee and Liz see it.
No!
I do feel that it was a great opportunity lost
not getting rid of Flick.
But I know George is an excellent strategist
and we need to move forward into merge united.
Yep. Yeah. Oh, I know.
(MEN CHAT IN DISTANCE)
Yes. Yeah.
GEORGE:
GERRY:
Although I'm close with George,
Matty and I, we've been together since day 1.
I believe in this young man. I really do.
He's got good character.
He's the ultimate hero. He's a lifesaver.
I just wanna make sure we are aligned all the way through.
(UNSETTLING MUSIC)
Yeah.
MATT:
GERRY:
Yeah!
(UNEASY MUSIC)
HAYLEY: What is that? SAM: Ohh!
We have a...a feast! (CACKLES) Shut up!
No!
Come on in! (HAYLEY LAUGHS)
Is this happening?
(LAUGHS) Ah!
Yeah! Oh, my God!
You have beers.
Fish? Far out. They're that fresh.
Ooh, look at the pig! Oh, my God!
Look at all that. Look at that lobster!
Ahh! (LAUGHS)
Yeah, man, this is happening.
I'm so happy!
GEORGE: Ohh!
(VILLAINS CHEER)
Oh, what?! Stevie!
JONATHAN: Villains, getting your first look at the new Hero tribe.
Stevie voted out at last night's Tribal Council.
Oh, my God!
Hello!
(SURVIVORS CHATTER AND LAUGH)
SAM: Let's go!
Can I hug you?
So, Shaun, are you surprised
that Flick and Matt are still here?
(SIGHS) Look, you never truly know what's going on at the other tribe.
But absolutely, not only because
they were part of our original tribe,
but they're two fantastic people.
Very happy, mate.
George, what's the status
on your war between the Heroes and the Villains?
Is someone winning? Or is it a stalemate?
I think we've had winners and losers to date,
but the first war here in Samoa has ended.
We can have a time of peace while we feast.
(SURVIVORS LAUGH) But, um...
Last night's Tribal Council, I think it was a tragedy,
but the key theme was compromise
and that's what the outcome was.
There were promises made before Tribal Council,
during Tribal Council and after Tribal Council
and whether those promises hold
will determine whether there's a second war here in Samoa or not.
Well, after 28 days of Heroes and Villains battling it out,
it is time to see what's gonna happen
when the two sides come together.
(HAUNTING MUSIC)
You can drop your buffs. We are merged.
(ALL CHEER)
Whoo!
(TRIBE CHEERS AND EXCLAIMS)
Here are your new buffs.
(ALL CHATTER EXCITEDLY)
Wow!
Thanks, mate. Mate, yeah!
(ALL CHATTER EXCITEDLY)
So, Hayley, as someone who's won it before,
you come with a certain amount of baggage.
Are you surprised that you made it this far?
I'm shocked, actually, yes.
I...I came in with a few goals and getting here...
I'm a bit emotional about it.
I didn't think I'd get here,
so I'm really happy to be here and with such good people.
And it's... I'm really excited for the next part of the game.
Simon, I'm guessing this was on your bucket list.
Yeah, this is a special moment for me,
to be, you know, a second-time player.
But this is new territory for me and I couldn't be prouder.
So thank you.
(TENSE MUSIC)
As you've already seen,
there is an incredible merge feast waiting for you.
Oh, shut up.
Congratulations, everyone. Dig in. Enjoy your feast.
(ALL CHEER)
(PEACEFUL MUSIC) (ALL CHATTER CHEERFULLY)
It is beer! Yes!
SAM: Beer, beer, beer, beer, beer!
Cheers, everyone. Yes! Cheers.
Cheers! Whoo!
This is so good. (BELCHES)
GEORGE: Ooh, pig head!
(MEDIEVAL-STYLE MUSIC)
Oh, my God. Here we go.
Mm! Are we just going fingers?
Oh! How good's that?
Mmm! It's flavoured taro. It's delicious!
SAM: Oh, yes! Mmm!
Girl, get it in.
Oh, that goes down a treat.
Guys, that's caramelised! SHAUN: Yeah.
Eat it. Quick. Try it. Fatty! (GOBBLES COMICALLY)
(GOBBLES)
Oh, my God. NINA: It's so good.
(DAVID BABBLES INDISTINCTLY)
And you don't get anything. You're a fool.
(TRIBE CHATTERS)
GEORGE: You don't want anyone to go.
(CHATTER CONTINUES)
DAVID:
Beg your pardon? We have a good advantage now.
Sitting down at the merge feast,
I was a bit nervous.
Right now, there are eight original Heroes...
Guys, this thing's amazing.
..and four original Villains
here on this new tribe.
On paper, we're pretty outgunned.
But I'm at my best when I'm leaping up off my feet.
And I'm going to hit the ground running.
Can we open the lobster? I haven't tried it yet.
Well, there's been... Go. We've got the tail.
Take the head or whatever that is. Ooh!
Take the whole piece. Oh, don't get my head!
It's like, "Die, Hayley! Arrh!"
(HAYLEY LAUGHS)
Ooh! (TRIBE CHATTERS)
GEORGE: Right now, my priority is simple.
Oh! Nice? (GIGGLES)
Very good.
I'm on the schmooze at today's merge feast.
And I've made it clear with my cross-tribe interactions with Hayley
that I'm definitely willing to work with her this time.
Let's do a toast. We made it.
Alright, to...to... Cheers.
Finally, finally. (LAUGHS) It's a long time.
(UNSETTLING MUSIC)
Ah!
HAYLEY: I cannot believe both George and I have made merge.
I would have never imagined that that would happen.
And while it's nice to sit down and break bread,
I know this merge feast,
no matter how nice it is,
will be somebody's last supper.
Yeah, there is a few.
HAYLEY: So if George has a nice plan for me to jump ship
away from these Heroes that have been trying to get me out,
I am all ears because there is a lot of danger out here.
(SHAUN SPEAKS INDISTINCTLY) FLICK: Aww!
There's a bit of lemon in that.
FLICK: So am I! So happy.
Um, I need to rip into some fish.
Hmm?
(SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC)
GEORGE: Flick has cut a deal
where we all have a common target in Simon.
But I know what Flick's like.
She changes her mind like the wind.
I know to take Flick's promises with a grain of salt in this game.
(BOTH WHISPER)
I'm gonna be watching Flick
because if Flick decides to ditch the deals
that she made at the tribe swap part of the game,
I could be in the minority...
(LAUGHS)
..and I know that me and the Spice Girls would be screwed.
(STIRRING MUSIC)
SAM: Hitting merge is so cool.
To be here is a huge milestone in the game.
And, like, dealing with 12 people,
now it's, like, game on.
And right now the numbers
are currently in favour of the OG Heroes.
The chairs! They gave us new chairs!
Yeah! 99%.
It is now. 99%.
HAYLEY: Should we have a chat about the tribe name?
OK, guys. Let's discuss the tribe name.
We thought of something Survivor-focused in Samoan
and that's the word 'molemole'.
And 'molemole' means two things.
It means 'I'm hungry'
and it means 'please'.
Just sticking with the theme of heroes and villains,
we thought of 'Vigilantes'
'cause not quite a hero, not quite a villain,
just somebody who takes the law into their own hands
and gets done what needs to get done.
I like them both. Shall we just do a hand raise?
Why don't we all put it to a vote?
Three, two, one. Molemole?
That's six.
Molemole it is!
Molemole! It's the democratic law.
I think 'Vigilantes' would have been better,
but whatever.
The OG Heroes are calling the shots.
We have the numbers. We have the capability.
We have the smartest people on this beach working with us.
So I don't care.
GEORGE: Let's get outta here. HAYLEY: Let's do it.
SAM: Are you guys all going for a swim?
Um...yeah.
(SQUEALS AND LAUGHS)
Oh, my God.
(LAUGHS) I can't believe it.
Let's have a seat. Let's do it.
Um... Oh, my God.
Last night, I pledged allegiance to George, Shonee and Liz.
The idea basically is we all have a common target, that being Simon.
But I...I don't know
and I think that...
Like, someone's gonna need to budge somewhere
to, like, get a majority
and where's that gonna be, you know?
(SIGHS) Like...
Simon sort of seems like the easy vote.
He's rubbed a few people up the wrong way.
But also I'm aware of the fact that
the numbers right now in the game,
it's very, very blurry
and I've got a really tough decision to make
on what alliance I wanna be aligned with for the rest of the game.
I feel like we've got the numbers to vote out whoever we want...
..being Hero strong.
Like, the OG Heroes are me, you,
Hayley, Nina,
Dave, Sam, Matt,
plus Simon is eight.
The way I'm looking at it now in my OG Hero alliance,
I feel like I'm more towards the top,
I'm more involved in the decision-making
and I'm leaning more towards that alliance.
So we're eight?
Yep.
And then tonight, at some point in the night...
Yeah. Yep.
..come down to the beach and we'll meet up.
Perfect. Alright. That sounds good, yeah.
Glad to have you. Oh, same!
At the end of the day,
yes, I pledged my allegiance
to George, Shonee and Liz.
I had to do whatever possible to keep myself alive in this game.
But now that I've made merge,
playing with my OG Heroes
just seems like the right move forward.
And with eight of us and only four of them,
I mean, the odds are in our favour.
(DARK MUSIC)
No, no. So what's the deal?
GEORGE:
FLICK: All of a sudden, this is our chance to have a big move
and I think we could see some things changing up in the game,
which I'm excited about.
Yeah.
(TRIBAL MUSIC)
(SAM GRUNTS)
That's it. Yeah, rice straight on.
Alright.
(TENSE MUSIC)
What's happening, mate?
SHONEE: Yeah.
Um... What's that?
(UNSETTLING MUSIC)
Alright.
LIZ: Do we need to get changed? Yeah.
Flick is a great manipulator, but a terrible, terrible liar.
I know we have lost Flick and it's definitely hurtful
because I just worked so hard to save her
and I thought that the girls could stick together.
But clearly not.
George was right.
Hi.
Yeah.
She is the...
I warned Shonee and Liz
that Flick just changes her mind
and now Flick has thrown us under the bus.
We need to get a plan up and running
to take back control of this tribe.
Right now, there's a block of five between Shonee, Liz and myself
and Gerry and Matt.
But I'll need seven people in an alliance
to make sure that I'm in a majority.
All I need to do is convince Liz and Shonee
to take a risk.
I...
..I think we need to keep our options open
because we have an insurance policy with your idol.
And I can guarantee you this - Simon's not going anywhere.
No-one wants to get rid of him. Simon is a new vote.
We are better off walking up to Simon
and offering him a deal right now, Liz.
No-one's taken that... (LAUGHS)
Just think about it. Like, just think... It's true.
OK.
One of the single biggest moves you can make
when you're playing Survivor
is to turn your enemy in the game into your friend,
and that's exactly what I'm gonna do with Simon.
OK. That's alright. You speak to Shaun.
Yeah, will do.
Simon is so low in the pecking order.
Well, I'm not getting wet. Not gonna get wet?
SAM: Gonna swim too?
Here?
If you could give us a second. It's not bad, but it...
Yeah. Thank you.
I might be the only person in this new merged tribe
that gives him an opportunity to go forward in the game,
and I'm gambling that Hayley will be interested in working with me.
We're gonna put together the alliance
that dominates the rest of this game.
I'd absolutely love to. SHONEE: OK.
Yep, let's go.
As a priority.
Come join us, Hayley! Join, join.
It's, like, all these little groups. Hello!
(LAUGHTER)
Well, I think...I think that's what's happening, Hayley.
Everyone's kind of pulling off into little groups
and you can kind of see where the focus of groups are.
I thought this is a good chance to have a very frank conversation
because the deal that we got offered was, Simon, you're out first.
(CHUCKLES) That makes sense, yeah.
I would rather David or Shaun, Sam goes.
So we have a decision to make moving forward
that will determine all of our destinies.
(INTENSE MUSIC)
I'm...I'm keen on this
'cause Sam has been off me for a very long time,
so I've been, like, clutching on,
into an alliance just this whole time.
Well, this will be fun.
Yeah. (GERRY CHUCKLES)
Do you know what you could say?
"Simon was hanging around like a bad smell,
"then he walked off,
"and we're still on the Simon plan."
HAYLEY: You mind if we say that?
That's what you can say. No offence, Simon.
Sounds good. (LAUGHS) Yep.
I've been at war with Simon for the first half of this game,
but if I can reel him in with an offer of peace,
I can manoeuvre him and I can take charge of this game.
Like, from there, do you think that...
Like, that's the best path moving forward
for...for us from here?
What everybody thinks over there
is I have this huge personal grudge against you.
No-one in a million years
would ever think that I would want to work with you.
Right now, I'm a lone wolf on the bottom of this tribe.
The half-a-million-dollar question
is how can I trust George?
Someone who has been my mortal enemy in this game.
Right now you have zero percent change of winning if you do nothing.
Like, the...the safest thing I could do
is just let the plan happen
and then it's just, like, how boring would that be?
The idea of potentially working with George...
(LAUGHS) I can't believe that's actually
coming out of my mouth right now.
But that is a real option
that I'm looking down the barrel of right now.
Bloody hell.
(LAUGHS)
I don't know what I'm gonna do,
but I know one thing's for certain.
Coming into this individual part of the game,
I'm ready to show you what the beast is made of.
(INTENSE MUSIC)
(EXCITING MUSIC)
(MUFFLED COUGHING)
(GASPING)
Come on in!
Sam. Yes.
Does the new tribe have a name?
Yeah, we do have a new name.
We've come to an arrangement between all of us.
The new merged tribe is called Molemole.
What does it mean?
It means 'I'm hungry' in Samoan.
(LAUGHS)
So, Nina, how is Molemole getting along so far?
So far, so good.
Everybody was chatting yesterday, which is a great sign.
It didn't stop until...
..God knows what time. (LAUGHS)
Um, no, it's been great so far.
Simon, is making merge everything you dreamed it would be?
(LAUGHS)
Almost.
I'm just really glad to be here and still breathing.
Interesting word to be using today.
Alright. Are you ready to get to your first individual Immunity Challenge?
Yeah, let's do it. Let's go!
Nina. Jonathan.
Thank you. You're welcome.
Tribal immunity is no more.
From now on, this is what you want.
(ALL EXCLAIM)
Individual immunity.
With this around your neck, you are safe,
guaranteed another day in the game.
Without it, you could be going home.
Today's challenge is gonna test your ability
to stay calm when every fibre in your body is telling you otherwise.
You'll each take a spot in the water
under a metal grate.
As the tide comes in, the water will rise
and your breathing space will decrease
until eventually it is gone.
The person who lasts the longest out there
wins immunity, safe from the vote.
Losers, Tribal Council, where somebody's gonna become
the 12th person voted out of this game.
We'll draw for spots. We're gonna get to it.
SIMON: Hell, yeah! Hell, yeah!
HAYLEY: Oh, my gosh.
It's horrible. It's not a position the human body wants to be in.
SAM: I'm freaking out. Freaking out, yeah.
And you've got no idea how many people are still in.
Alright, here we go.
Everyone, slide into position.
Oh, it's chilly! Oh, my... It's freezing!
Oh, my God!
For immunity, this challenge...
..is now on.
Pretty easy at the moment.
But as that tide comes in and your breathing space disappears...
..it's gonna get a lot more difficult.
First individual immunity up for grabs today.
That first Tribal after merge is often the most precarious.
Finally everyone's come together,
but you don't really know where everyone stands at the moment.
The only way to make sure
that you don't get caught up in some madness at Tribal
is to walk out of here wearing this necklace.
But today you're not gonna have to push through the pain.
You're gonna have to push through the fear.
30 minutes in
and, surprisingly,
no-one has dropped out.
Everyone fighting it out for immunity.
That wind is picking up.
Creating some chop.
Ooh! Mmm!
Oh, no!
(BLEEP!) Another big surge.
Everyone going under.
Your breathing space is disappearing.
(GASPS)
Finally, after 32 minutes,
we have our first person
out of the challenge.
And with that, Sam is out of the challenge.
That water is right up at the bars now.
(SPLUTTERS)
Shonee...
(GASPS)
Desperately trying to clear her airway.
It's too much for Shonee. She is out of the challenge.
Now we're down to nine.
(SPLUTTERS)
Shaun trying to breathe through it.
Trying to find that Zen place.
A big surge.
This might sort out a few.
(GASPS)
(TENSE MUSIC)
Liz can no longer take it anymore. (GASPS)
We're down to eight.
SHONEE: Good job, honey.
(SPUTTERS)
And out of nowhere...
..Shaun is out of the challenge.
Oh, (BLEEP).
Did not expect this.
Simon's out of the challenge.
(COUGHS)
And now we're down to six.
It's David, Matt, Nina,
Gerry, Flick and Hayley.
And everyone is under again.
That takes out Gerry.
Now we're down to five.
Still five? (BLEEP!)
If today is any indication, then...
..we're gonna have some fights on our hands
for that necklace coming up.
(SPLUTTERS) Flick starting to panic now.
Really struggling.
(GAGGING)
Water covering her face now.
She goes down.
Flick drops out and we're down to four.
(BREATHES HEAVILY)
Hayley completely under water.
(GASPS) Hayley's out.
And we're down to three.
It's David,
Matt
and Nina battling it out.
Nina continues to blow out bubbles.
The boys have their snorkel.
Nina with her own technique.
Pretty incredible to watch.
David trying to breathe through it.
And David is out and we have a showdown
between Matt and Nina.
GEORGE: Wow. Amazing.
Nina taking on the lifeguard.
Determined to leave here wearing that necklace. Wow!
Matt really protecting that airway.
How many more surges can he press through?
(SPLUTTERING)
Nina's pushing through.
Unbelievable.
Almost 50 minutes.
GEORGE: This is incredible.
SHONEE: Go, Nina!
Matt gurgling.
(SPLUTTERS)
Who's gonna drop out first?
Nina really breathing heavily now.
She goes under.
And that is it!
Nina is out and Matt wins immunity.
Well done! GEORGE: Well done, Matty!
(MATT AND NINA COUGH)
Almost 50 minutes. Well done, you two.
Good job, Matt.
MAN: Nina!
Matt, come on over.
Yeah, Matt! (ALL CHEER)
Congratulations.
First individual immunity is yours. Thank you.
How does that feel? I'm pretty excited.
It's definitely on my Survivor bucket list,
to get individual immunity,
and to be safe tonight feels pretty good.
Huge effort today. Amazing. Thank you. Thanks.
You're safe. Yeah, Matty!
Not going anywhere.
As for the rest of you, amazing effort from everyone,
but sadly, after 29 days,
someone going home tonight.
Head back to camp. I'll see you tonight at Tribal.
(TRIBE CHEERS)
SAM: Matt winning individual immunity
is definitely a positive for our alliance
and we're going to Tribal Council tonight with a plan.
Shonee and Liz, they're both massive threats in this game
and if we can take one of them out successfully,
we're weakening their alliance.
Clear battlelines will be evident after tonight's Tribal Council.
(HAUNTING MUSIC)
DAVID: Yeah! Well done, Matty! Yeah!
Very hard. GEORGE: A Survivor classic.
Now I get to tick this off the bucket list too?
(ALL CHEER)
And you've gotta get the tattoo. Now I have to get the tattoo?
We'll workshop that one.
MATT: This new tribe for me, I'm in the position of power.
Alright, let's get some food going.
And as a lifeguard,
everyone out here trusts me, believes me.
That's why I've been cast as a hero in this game.
And right now, the OG Heroes
think that I'm still working with them.
But I know I'm going George's way,
over to this new-formed alliance
and I just need to keep my head cool
and keep making people continue to trust me
the rest of this afternoon.
SHAUN: Anybody else for water? Cool, thanks, mate.
I'll get started on this fire. Yeah.
(TENSE MUSIC)
(PEOPLE CHATTER INDISTINCTLY)
SHAUN: Do we have anybody following us?
Anybody crawling around in the bushes?
(LAUGHTER) NINA: I don't think so.
OK, alright, so tonight... Yep, straight to it.
..what are we doing?
So, I mean, based on our chat that we had last night,
one of the girls.
SAM: Yeah?
Ahhh! Whee!
(LAUGHS)
Yes. SHAUN: OK.
We know that Liz has an idol.
Um...
Want me to try and flush that?
SHAUN:
Yeah. Yeah.
NINA:
Um, so do it last minute? Yeah, yeah.
OK, so...
SHAUN:
No, who is gonna do two on Liz?
SAM: You and Matty. Me and Matty?
Matty's coming.
Yeah, come in. Quick, quick, quick.
And then head back. Real quickly...
MATT: OK. OK.
The only thing is, right, I'm concerned right now
is if we don't get that Simon vote.
SHAUN: At the end of the day, we don't know
how much we can trust Simon, but he is a lone wolf
and as far as I see it, he's a number up for grabs.
SHAUN:
..and then I'll gauge where he's at.
I think our best way forward
is to pitch to Simon...
..so he doesn't get any ideas
about switching back to his original Villains alliance.
Yeah, so...
Who are you guys voting for?
Yeah. Yeah.
This is Simon's test tonight.
If you're in, we've got eight people.
SHAUN: Simon, if you can just give us that one vote on Shonee,
we'll know that you're onboard and we will happily take you in.
GEORGE: Going into tonight's Tribal Council,
the scramble is absolutely hectic.
The first vote at merge
is one of the most important in the game.
And I know we need to dismantle the alpha alliance
before they start winning immunity challenges
and I have a target in my sights.
It's Sam.
Sam is someone that focuses his game on loyalty.
He's someone that brings the boys together
and if he makes amends with Simon and Matt,
my majority of seven that's formed
will turn into a minority very, very quickly.
GEORGE:
Yep, yep.
Yes. 100%.
Alright. Let's do a quick one.
Alright.
Yes.
Voting for Sam? Yes, 100%
I'm solid. That's enough.
And if you need to use the idol... Got it, got it. Go, go, go.
Go, go, go.
George the unifier will succeed in this campaign
and Sam will be sent home in an epic Survivor blindside.
Are we all here? What are you saying, sorry?
Just, like, if you chop off the leader, which is Sam...
SIMON: Yeah.
..we're the seven majority and Sam will never see it coming.
MATT: Yeah, 100%. That sounds good.
Simon, just look a tad nervous. Yeah.
Let's scram. Simon... OK, break it up.
I just keep going for it?
Put on your acting skills, like I did, and off you go.
Just be, like, "Boys, boys, boys," but know that it's not boys.
That's awesome. What... Yeah, cool.
The most doubt that I have right now
is with George, Shonee and Liz.
These people have openly burnt me,
they have dragged my character through the mud.
Are they people that I can actually work with?
I have no idea.
So I just need to get a quick sense check
to see what Hayley's feeling
and if she's picking up any further information from George.
HAYLEY: Um, what's your anxiety levels?
Are you... I think they should be low.
Yeah...
SIMON:
And is it correct that you are...
You know what?
I have no idea who's actually gonna go home tonight.
The one thing that's evident to me
is that I came into merge as a lone wolf
and now I am the swing vote
and one of the most powerful influencers in the game.
What's going on?
This is unbelievable, like, unbelievable.
(INTRIGUING MUSIC)
LIZ: Hey, Simon. GEORGE: Come, Simon.
Um, I just wanna, like, what's...
How are we gonna attack...
SHONEE:
Yeah. Bend us over a barrel, Simon!
(BOTH LAUGH)
We're at seven.
If we get over tonight as a seven,
you can have your revenge on Flick
because she screwed us over.
This game is wild,
how fast things change and move.
This morning, we woke up pretty terrified that we were done for.
Now we're sitting in a seven-strong alliance.
We've got Shonee, myself,
George, Matt,
Gerry, Hayley and Simon.
And we've decided to take Sam out
to weaken the alpha boys.
DAVID: But I don't know what...
We're just saying Simon.
Alright.
LIZ:
So at the moment, we haven't workshopped
where the split is, but it's gonna be...
I think they're throwing your name up.
Yep, I know. Well, I mean, there's only one way you're not nervous.
Yep.
SHONEE:
Yeah. GEORGE: Are you feeling alright?
Should we have a chat or... Let's have a chat.
LIZ:
I actually think...
The fact that we have an idol
as a safety net is great.
But I don't know if David's trying to trick me
so they can get rid of Shonee or George.
I still think we have seven.
I do not.
SHONEE:
..shield himself with the meat around him.
Shonee and Liz don't trust Simon,
but I'm not worried one bit.
Simon accepted my offer of peace
because Simon has absolutely no allies in this game.
We are giving Simon hope in the game.
Whilst I'm certain all seven of us are on board,
I know I need to placate Liz and Shonee.
So I'm gonna get an extra number for tonight's vote.
If I was to give you advice,
you've gotta start thinking about end game
and you've gotta get on the winning ship before it sails away, Shaun.
I would rather Sam goes...
This is just about moving the pieces of the puzzle.
Chats with George are always awkward.
He's got this sociopathic, calm manner about him.
I've given you my advice.
It's an open invite to get on board.
It's like you're sitting there with Hannibal Lecter
and you don't know if he's gonna try and eat your flesh.
GEORGE:
Yep.
SAM:
So he let me know
that I need to jump off the sinking ship,
jump on the winning one.
You're kidding. No.
SHAUN:
Yeah. It's just...
I mean, I don't know what the real plan is.
I don't know what George's real plan is. It could be me.
But it doesn't matter at the end of the day.
We've got our plan, we've got our group. We'll stick to it.
Alright.
GEORGE: I just, um... I had a chat with Shaun.
I go, "You can get on the winning ship or you're gonna let it sail."
Wait. So he knows the plan?
He knows the plan. Why does he know the plan?
GEORGE:
No, George!
George has spilled the beans to Shaun
that we are voting for Sam.
That is literally the dumbest thing I've ever heard.
SHONEE:
GEORGE:
Yeah.
So now we're double-bluffing. Are you OK with that?
Yes. Done.
And George... Come back here.
No more loose lips! From now on...
GEORGE: The more I think about it,
there's no difference between Sam and David.
One's a 'potata', one's a 'potato'.
And I'm gonna toss out the rotting veggies right where they belong.
It's not. No, Matt. This is your move, OK?
This is your big move.
I'm gonna go wash this pot.
LIZ: No, I'm telling you, this is the seven that goes all the way.
They swapped the vote to David without an explanation.
I'm definitely starting to get a little bit nervous.
Gerry, how you feeling about it?
Let's go to Tribal Council, let's knock it on the head.
George, Gerry and myself,
we made a final-three pact together.
But maybe working with George isn't the best idea.
I don't know whether I can fully trust him.
And so I really need to weigh up all my options sitting at Tribal tonight
and make a decision that's best for my game.
Tonight, I have a couple of pretty hefty options ahead of me.
I can either bury the hatchet
and actually work with my mortal enemy in George
and his alliance...
..or I can stick with the OG Heroes,
blend in with the big boys
and try to navigate my way through to the end.
Right now, for tonight's vote,
I'm gonna grab my destiny to set up my end game
and be Sole Survivor.
JONATHAN: Experience the game like never before,
with extended Tribal Councils,
unseen moments, interviews and more
over on 10 play.
(METAL RINGS)
(URGENT MUSIC)
SHAUN: So many people.
Wow. Full house again.
Yeah. Yep.
Crazy.
Oh, God, it's huge.
Is this feeling overwhelming? (LAUGHTER)
It feels like starting again. (LAUGHS)
It is a bit like that.
To that point, Hayley,
the first Tribal Council after merge,
would you agree that it's one of the trickiest moments in this game?
Absolutely.
It's harder than the first one
because there are already now existing relationships
before swap, after swap and now at merge,
and you're trying to figure out where you sit within those,
so it's really hard.
Have you been able to work it out?
I...I think I have,
but we'll find out tonight if I got that right.
So, Matt, the last time you were here,
you were pitching for your life.
Yeah. You had no choice, no power.
And tonight it seems like you've got both
because you've got that necklace.
I know. It...
How the tides can turn so quickly in this game.
You've spent a lot of time with almost everyone here,
so is tonight a critical choice for you
about who you're gonna work with moving forward?
I think, um, tonight's choice
is about securing my future in the game...
..with people that I...I want to play with.
(TENSE MUSIC)
So, George, if you could sum it up in one word,
how would you describe this moment in the game?
I think this moment in the game is the turning point.
You're gonna have players that are going to get to the end
because of the decisions that they make tonight...
..and you're gonna have players that fall by the wayside.
So how comfortable do you feel about your position tonight?
I'm 100% confident tonight.
If you don't know what's happening on day 29,
then what the hell has been going on the past couple of weeks?
DAVID:
Liz, you're used to working with smaller groups.
Is it stressful dealing with such a big bunch of people?
Yes.
I'm very stressed.
There's only a handful of Villains left here.
So...I'm very concerned for myself tonight.
I think I'm near the bottom of this pecking order.
Shonee, are you also concerned?
Yes...
..'cause I'm relying on people to make it through myself this vote
and I feel like, yeah, there's just a lot going on.
(PENSIVE MUSIC)
So, David, you've come from a small, cosy tribe compared to this one
and it's easy to make something happen with fewer numbers.
But when you get to a tribe this size,
it's a whole different story.
It is a whole different story.
There's different relationships, different dynamics amongst it
and the tribe swap throws up different interactions
or strengthens your alliance.
Do you think you've been able to pull in enough people
to get the numbers to make something happen?
Yeah, I believe I have strong enough relationships around me.
We're speaking a lot about relationships.
This is Survivor. It's not 'The Bachelor'.
And what matters in Survivor
is cutting a series of deals
and tonight there is one very, very obvious person that needs to go
and my understanding is that person will go home
and walk down that path and we'll never see him again.
(TENSE MUSIC)
"See him"?
Hm.
Flick, what do you make of that?
Uh, that it's not me. He said 'him'.
Yes. Quite clearly said 'him'. Yes.
What about you, Sam?
Do you have any idea?
I might have a fair idea.
Like, if I use my imagination.
Simon, often in this game, the people at the bottom
suddenly become the crucial swing vote come merge.
Has that been your experience this afternoon?
(SIMON CHUCKLES) I, um...
Yeah, I came in here with not a lot of power into this merge...
..as a bit of a... bit of a lone wolf.
It's, um... Yeah, I think there is new life for me.
How important is it to move past old grievances in this game?
(SIGHS) I'm still taking it a day at a time.
But that's a pretty big part of the decision-making process.
Well, on that note, I think it is time to vote.
(DRAMATIC MUSIC BUILDS)
JONATHAN: Well, I think...
..it is time to vote.
George, you're up.
(MONUMENTAL MUSIC)
David, we've had an epic season of Heroes v Villains
and you've played a very important role as a raw potato.
So consider your game now cooked.
Maybe saving me at the last Tribal Council
was not the best decision.
(GRIM MUSIC)
Tonight, this vote is for me,
to secure myself in the alliance
that I think can take me to the end game.
I'll go count the votes.
If anyone has a hidden immunity idol and you'd like to play it,
now would be the time to do so.
Hello.
Well, well, well.
Alright, who do you wanna play it for?
Shonee. Shonee?
(DRAMATIC MUSIC)
Liz, Liz.
Are you sure you wanna do it?
Shonee.
Shonee. OK.
Alright.
Alright, I can confirm
that this is, in fact, a hidden immunity idol...
..and any votes cast for Shonee will not count.
I'll read the votes.
First vote.
Shonee. Does not count.
GEORGE: Ooh!
Shonee. Does not count.
Ahh! That's four votes to Shonee.
Liz. Oh!
That's one vote Liz. Ooh!
(INHALES SHARPLY) Ohh!
David.
One vote Liz, one vote David.
David.
One vote Liz, two votes David.
David.
Three votes David, one vote Liz.
David.
Four votes David, one vote Liz.
The 12th person voted out of Heroes v Villains...
..David.
That's five votes. That's enough.
You need to bring me your torch.
(DAVID GRUNTS)
(SPEAKS INDISTINCTLY)
Yeah. See ya, buddy. See ya.
David, the tribe has spoken. Yep.
Done. See you, guys.
Go, Dave-o!
See you, David. Bye!
(DRAMATIC MUSIC)
Well, a vote like that
will help you remember exactly who your friends really are.
Grab your torches, head back to camp. Goodnight.
Tomorrow night on Australian Survivor...
Vigilantes, assemble!
..a powerful force has taken over the game.
No-one can stop my crusade for that holy, holy crown.
But can old enemies be trusted?
I'm not here just to be George's puppet.
I wanna make big moves in this game.
Will vengeance...
SAM: Stakes are higher than ever.
We're as desperate as Simon is for a mirror out on this island.
..and betrayal...
SHAUN: I've got an idol in my pocket
and nobody knows about it.
The goal for me coming out here is to win.
..blow the game apart?
Are you ready to ride the lightning?
This game is about to get fiery!
Being part of a blindside, it's, uh...
Yeah, it was surprising. Sam thought he was the vote tonight.
Time to start dismantling the hierarchy.
Yeah, I definitely think there was betrayal.
And I wonder who it was.
Since the start of this game,
you've been uncertain about having me in your alliance
and the good news is by the end of today,
I won't be in the alliance.
Bad news - neither will you.
Hopefully, the OG Heroes can keep going from here.
But...they need to find out who has turned.
