Survivor - Season 49 Episode 1 -Act One Of A Horror Film
Transcript
00:00:06Survivor is definitely like a scary movie.
00:00:12In act one of a horror film, you're just trying to survive.
00:00:16You're just trying to make it day by day.
00:00:19You're running from the monster.
00:00:22But act two?
00:00:24Woo!
00:00:27That's when you can flip the script.
00:00:30And now, you are the monster.
00:00:37It's time to tear this game up.
00:00:47Looking around, these people have nothing on me.
00:00:49I was one of the youngest communications directors in history on Capitol Hill.
00:00:53And one of my favorite pastimes is kissing butt.
00:00:56I will do whatever it takes to put a smile on someone's face, because that gets you far.
00:01:08The reporting world is all about connections.
00:01:10It's basically a huge social game when you're a reporter.
00:01:13It's about who you know and what they're going to be able to tell you before they tell their competition.
00:01:17Very similar to Survivor.
00:01:18So this is destiny for me.
00:01:20This is going to be the easiest million I will ever make.
00:01:28I used to work for the Sydney Hot Shots.
00:01:30It's basically Chippendales of Australia.
00:01:33What is that world like?
00:01:35Oh, it's terrible.
00:01:35You know, you've got a thousand women screaming your name every single night when you're on stage.
00:01:39It's just, you don't want that.
00:01:43I can charm a woman.
00:01:44I know how they work.
00:01:44I know what to say, what not to say.
00:01:46And it could help me out in Survivor.
00:01:48Real-life Magic Mike.
00:01:55When you compare me to other 25-year-olds, I've accomplished a lot.
00:01:59When I was 14 years old, I helped my parents file their taxes.
00:02:02I was the first one in my entire family to attend and graduate college.
00:02:05And now I am the first person of Albanian descent to ever play Survivor in 49 seasons.
00:02:11I'm the first one.
00:02:13R-I-Z-G-O-D.
00:02:14Riz God baby is here.
00:02:16And I want to stamp myself as one of the best players to ever play this game.
00:02:26These 18 strangers will be abandoned in the islands of Fiji.
00:02:31I'm a rocket scientist.
00:02:32And we just got like this rocket burn, baby.
00:02:36They must learn to adapt or they'll be voted out.
00:02:39Usually I'm flying business class.
00:02:41I'm staying in five-star hotels.
00:02:42I'm maxing up my credit cards.
00:02:43It's like, I have no outdoor skills.
00:02:48In the end, only one will remain to claim the million-dollar prize.
00:02:52The manipulation, the blindside, the lying, the backstabbing.
00:02:55That's what I want to bring to this game.
00:02:57And I'm excited to do it.
00:03:04Who will have what it takes to outwit, outplay, and outlast all the rest?
00:03:09This is Survivor 49.
00:03:25Welcome.
00:03:26Woo!
00:03:27Come join me.
00:03:30I'm bugging out.
00:03:32What am I about to get myself into?
00:03:34But I was so excited to get the game going.
00:03:37And I'm like sizing up my tribe.
00:03:39I'm thinking, okay, are they the loud one?
00:03:43Do they want to be the strongest one?
00:03:44Like, do they think they're the funny one?
00:03:49Oh my God, this is cinema.
00:03:51Let's go!
00:03:52The energy level is 10 out of 10, electric, fire.
00:03:58Now we can actually unleash all the anxieties, all the fears.
00:04:04Like, we're here.
00:04:05That's a tribe entrance right there.
00:04:10All right.
00:04:11I like the energy.
00:04:13Let me officially say, welcome to Survivor 49.
00:04:25All right.
00:04:25Let me understand this excitement.
00:04:27I'm coming in the middle, in the front.
00:04:29You were so excited.
00:04:30How do you describe that energy you're feeling now?
00:04:33My name's Christina.
00:04:34I am Christina.
00:04:38This is just a very long time in the making,
00:04:40and it just feels like we can finally just, like, explode and say,
00:04:43ah, we're here!
00:04:44There we go.
00:04:47Guy in the front left, what's your name?
00:04:49Front left?
00:04:50Yeah, you.
00:04:50Oh, that's me.
00:04:51I'm Jason.
00:04:52Hello.
00:04:53Hello, Jason.
00:04:54Talk to me about the excitement,
00:04:56because you ran up with a lot of energy.
00:04:58Jeff, I don't know if I'm allowed to peel the curtain back a little bit,
00:05:02but I'm, like, the male alternate for this season.
00:05:05I didn't know I was going to be on this show
00:05:09until 30 minutes before I went to bed last night.
00:05:12So the thing about being the alternate is you have to be ready for anything.
00:05:14I packed three shirts, a red one, a blue one, and a yellow one.
00:05:19So I'm adjusting, and I am on Survivor 49 with all of you.
00:05:23Yeah, you are, bro.
00:05:25Let's go.
00:05:26Let's go over here.
00:05:27In the middle, in the back, in the purple.
00:05:30Yeah.
00:05:30No.
00:05:31What's your name?
00:05:32I'm Sage.
00:05:34Tell me about the feeling you have right now,
00:05:36that it's finally happening.
00:05:38You are literally in the sand in Fiji.
00:05:41Yeah.
00:05:42Something happens when I'm excited and nervous.
00:05:44I pee a lot.
00:05:45I've peed three times just trying to get here today off the back of the boat.
00:05:49So I apologize for anyone who saw a full moon today.
00:05:53It's more of a half moon.
00:05:54I've got my mom's hips, but.
00:05:58Guy in the back, what's your name?
00:06:00Hey, Jeff.
00:06:00I'm Jake.
00:06:00I'm from your northern friend, Canada, from a place called Edmonton.
00:06:04So how long have you been watching Survivor?
00:06:07Since season one, Jeff, when I was a kid,
00:06:09mom and dad would put me and my brother down on a Wednesday night
00:06:11before we had to go to bed.
00:06:12We watched the show.
00:06:14Survivor's been a staple of the family.
00:06:15We still talk about it to this day.
00:06:16But now if that's when we're into season 49,
00:06:20sorry,
00:06:22my dad's got diagnosed with a condition called glaucoma.
00:06:26And he's going to be completely blind by the end of this year.
00:06:29So this is the last season of Survivor he's going to be able to see.
00:06:32And I just want to make my dad proud one more time visually.
00:06:35So sorry.
00:06:37Sorry to hear that.
00:06:39Sorry.
00:06:41Guy in the middle, in the back.
00:06:43Introduce yourself.
00:06:45My name's Steven.
00:06:46I'm from Denver, Colorado, and I am excited to be here.
00:06:50Okay.
00:06:51This is not The Price is Right.
00:06:53That would be a great answer for that show.
00:06:56Steven, talk to me about the moment you decided
00:06:59I'm going to dedicate myself to getting on Survivor.
00:07:03100%.
00:07:04So my journey began with the Pearl Islands,
00:07:07when I first saw all of the different contestants
00:07:10from all different walks of life,
00:07:11and they were so vulnerable.
00:07:14And I think as you get older,
00:07:16you kind of run out of first-time experiences.
00:07:18And Survivor is just jam-packed of first-time experiences.
00:07:23They're going to help you get outside your comfort zone
00:07:25and give you a chance to be vulnerable.
00:07:27Yes.
00:07:28Never heard it put that way.
00:07:30Great answer.
00:07:30Woo!
00:07:31All right.
00:07:33Well, if there's one thing that's very clear over 24 years and 48 seasons,
00:07:39it's this.
00:07:40Survivor is always evolving.
00:07:43And it's not because of the twists or advantages.
00:07:45Survivor evolves because of you, the player.
00:07:49Everybody who has played this game before you has impacted the game in some way,
00:07:54and in doing so, they've elevated the game.
00:07:57Their pursuit of greatness laid the foundation that you're standing on right now.
00:08:02And each of you have your own reasons for being here,
00:08:06your own drive, your own dreams, your own story to write.
00:08:09What complicates Survivor is the minute the game starts,
00:08:12all of your individual ideas collide
00:08:14because Survivor is a zero-sum game.
00:08:18Only one of you will win.
00:08:20But it is your 18 individual pursuits of that victory,
00:08:26the decisions you each make, the risks you each take,
00:08:29that will define your season.
00:08:33And underneath all of this is the heart of the paradox of Survivor.
00:08:37You must and will rely on each other in order to survive in a real jungle,
00:08:42and you must and will vote each other out in order to win.
00:08:47That is the beautiful contradiction that makes Survivor so compelling
00:08:51because without that constant push and pull,
00:08:55without alliances being formed and then broken,
00:08:57without trust being built and then shattered,
00:08:59there is no pursuit of greatness.
00:09:02This is your moment.
00:09:04This is your season.
00:09:06And it begins right now.
00:09:09Let's get to tribe names.
00:09:11We'll start with yellow.
00:09:13Your tribe name is Hina.
00:09:14Hina!
00:09:17In the middle, wearing red, Uli.
00:09:20Uli!
00:09:23And on the end, wearing blue, Kela.
00:09:26Hina!
00:09:27Hina!
00:09:27Hina!
00:09:28Hina!
00:09:28Hina!
00:09:28All right.
00:09:29Are you ready to get to your first test as tribes?
00:09:34Let's get to the marooning challenge.
00:09:36Here's how it's going to work.
00:09:37On my go, one pair is going to race into the jungle
00:09:40to retrieve and bring back two heavy crates.
00:09:46Then the next pair is going to swim out to a boat with more crates
00:09:50and swim that boat back.
00:09:53Then when you have all your crates,
00:09:56the remaining pair will use those crates to build a cube puzzle.
00:10:01Then one person will climb on top of that puzzle,
00:10:05retrieve a mallet,
00:10:07leap off the cube,
00:10:08and use that mallet to ring a bell.
00:10:12First tribe to ring their bell
00:10:14earns their tribe's supplies.
00:10:17Pot, machete, flint.
00:10:21That's it.
00:10:22Out here, that's a lot.
00:10:24The losing tribes will have to try and earn it another way.
00:10:27Make sense?
00:10:28Yeah.
00:10:29All right, I'm going to give you a minute
00:10:30to make your first very big decision.
00:10:32Who's going to run?
00:10:33What part of this challenge?
00:10:34And then we will go.
00:10:35All right.
00:10:39How about this for a starting line?
00:10:40Tell me, does this work for you all?
00:10:42Beautiful.
00:10:43Survivor style?
00:10:45All right, first pairs, come up to the starting line.
00:10:50Let's go.
00:10:51Let's go.
00:10:52All right, it is the first challenge of Survivor 49
00:10:56for your tribe's supplies.
00:10:58Here we go.
00:10:59Survivor's ready.
00:11:02Go!
00:11:03Go, Canada!
00:11:05It's Annie and Jake, Rizzo and Juwan, MC and Matt.
00:11:09Those are the first three pairs.
00:11:11Yeah, Canada!
00:11:13Did you expect anything less?
00:11:14I mean, I don't know.
00:11:16He's like the walking pole.
00:11:17This stage is about effort, strength, speed.
00:11:22You got it, Annie.
00:11:23Each tribe has two crates.
00:11:26We're going to the left.
00:11:27You got it on time, and you got to get them both back.
00:11:30Jake and Annie working.
00:11:33Juwan and Rizzo working.
00:11:35Matt and MC making fast work.
00:11:38Here we go.
00:11:38Got it.
00:11:39MC take one on her own.
00:11:41Matt going to take one.
00:11:43Is he now to gate first?
00:11:44There goes Jake.
00:11:46Annie going to try to grab one.
00:11:47Those crates are heavy.
00:11:51We good.
00:12:00Jake coming back with the first for Callum.
00:12:02For Canada!
00:12:04Yeah!
00:12:05Yes!

00:12:09Hina doing a nice job.
00:12:11Here comes Rizzo and Juwan.

00:12:15You got it, Annie.
00:12:16Oh, wow.
00:12:17Hi-ya-ya-ya.
00:12:20You're good.
00:12:21Go, Hina!
00:12:22Now, Steven and Sophie into the water.
00:12:29There's one.
00:12:30Get it over there, Juwan.
00:12:33You're good.
00:12:33Go!
00:12:35Now, Shannon.
00:12:36Savannah into the water.
00:12:38Come on, Shannon.
00:12:38Savannah!
00:12:39Here comes Jake and Annie with that second.
00:12:44Go, Kella!
00:12:46It's going to be Jeremiah and Alex into the water.
00:12:49Kella!
00:12:50Alex!
00:12:52This is no joke.
00:12:54That's a real swim.
00:12:56Then you've got to pull that boat back.
00:12:58I'm getting a one-go!
00:13:01Get it, Hina!
00:13:03First, you've got to unclip your boat.
00:13:06Hina at their boat first.
00:13:09Uli now at their boat.
00:13:10Here we go, guys!
00:13:11Here we go!
00:13:12Kella trying to get to their boat.
00:13:13We got it, Kella!
00:13:15Tribe supplies on the line.
00:13:17Hina now swimming it back.
00:13:19Uli swimming it back.

00:13:27It is Uli in the lead now.
00:13:29Shannon and Savannah.
00:13:31Nice job in the water.
00:13:33You've got to get it back and hit your buoy.
00:13:35That is the mark.
00:13:36Great job!
00:13:37You're good!
00:13:38Let's go, Uli!
00:13:39Let's go!
00:13:39Let's go!
00:13:40You've got your children.
00:13:41Great job!

00:13:43Let's go, Hina!
00:13:45Sophie and Steven are doing a nice job.
00:13:47You're good!
00:13:48Let's go!
00:13:50Everybody helping now.
00:13:52You cannot start until you get them all back.
00:13:54You're doing great!
00:13:57Kella, you've got to hit that buoy.
00:13:59You're good!
00:14:02Everybody now retrieving their crates.
00:14:05It is Uli in the lead.
00:14:07And Hina.
00:14:08Oh, my God.
00:14:09Kella, get last.
00:14:10Come on, baby.
00:14:12All right, you're good.
00:14:14It's going to be Nate and Sage on the puzzle for Uli.
00:14:17Can we go one sideways?
00:14:19Yeah.
00:14:20Hina, you're good!
00:14:21It's going to be Jason and Christina for Hina.
00:14:24All right.
00:14:25Before we put it inside, let's see.
00:14:27Okay.
00:14:27Kella, still working.
00:14:29Let's go.
00:14:30Now you're good, Kella!
00:14:31Holy...
00:14:32It's going to be Sophie and Nicole on the puzzle.
00:14:34You are building a cube puzzle.
00:14:37This is the spot where it is won or lost.
00:14:40Jason didn't know he was playing the game until hours ago.
00:14:43And now here he is, day one survivor 49,
00:14:46in the presser position of solving the puzzle.
00:14:49Slide it in and then this one has to go in here somewhere, right?
00:14:52Look, look, guys, guys, push that and then lay that horse up
00:14:54and then lay that one on top.
00:14:55Nice, nice, nice, nice, nice.
00:14:57You've got Sage and Nate.
00:14:58They barely know each other.
00:14:59They've got to work together.
00:15:01Oh, never mind.
00:15:02Sure, never mind.
00:15:03All right, I lied.
00:15:04I'm sorry.
00:15:05Start putting them in.
00:15:05Yeah.
00:15:06And Sophie and Nicole trying to figure this puzzle out.
00:15:09Sometimes fast is not the answer.
00:15:11It's not working.
00:15:13Keep thinking, keep thinking.
00:15:14Okay, you got it?
00:15:15Yeah.
00:15:16Got it?
00:15:16Yep.
00:15:17Slide it in.
00:15:18All right.
00:15:18Beautiful, I love it.
00:15:20Jason now, he's got an idea.
00:15:22All right, one like this, right?
00:15:24Yep.
00:15:24I think you're right.
00:15:26Yes.
00:15:26Is that right?
00:15:27It looks right.
00:15:28No, because then one goes here.
00:15:30Oh, I'm going to reevaluate now.
00:15:32Something's not right.
00:15:33Oh, my God.
00:15:36Upsy-daisy.
00:15:38Here we go.
00:15:40Hina, it's moving quickly now.
00:15:41Yes.
00:15:41Very good, very good.
00:15:43I like it.
00:15:43Is that one here flat?
00:15:44Yep.
00:15:45Okay, okay, okay, okay.
00:15:46I think we're on to something.
00:15:47Yep.
00:15:48I like it.
00:15:49There you go.
00:15:49Put yours there.
00:15:50Hina thinks they have it.
00:15:52Out of nowhere.
00:15:53We need help on this problem.
00:15:54They're all kicked in, and then you've got to put in the top.
00:15:56Remember.
00:15:57It's got to fit.
00:15:57There you go.
00:15:58Hold me with the pick.
00:15:59Kick in this right.
00:16:00Wait, Jason, the one on your right.
00:16:01Hurry, let's go.
00:16:02You got it.
00:16:03You got it.
00:16:03Push.
00:16:04Let's go.
00:16:05Let's go.
00:16:07Who's going up?
00:16:08It's going to be MC untying the stick.
00:16:10MC, you got this.
00:16:11This is a hero moment for MC.
00:16:14Go, MC!
00:16:15On the morning of day one of Survivor 49, get that stick.
00:16:19Get up on top of the cube.
00:16:20Go, MC!
00:16:22Now you've got to get that mallet off using the stick.
00:16:26Get the touch.
00:16:26Get the touch.
00:16:27Slow and steady.
00:16:28Look at that.
00:16:29Big flick.
00:16:30Going to flick it.
00:16:32MC making it look easy.
00:16:34Here comes the victory bang in the bow.
00:16:38Bring it.
00:16:39Back up for Tribe Supplies.
00:16:42Hina wins the Maroonie Challenge.
00:16:48Hot Machete split with their tribe.
00:16:51I'm sorry, C.
00:16:52No, no.
00:16:52I'm sorry.
00:16:53Dude, I blacked out.
00:16:54That is it.
00:16:55It's over.
00:16:56Hina!
00:16:57Hina!
00:16:57Hina!
00:16:58Hina!
00:16:58Hina!

00:16:59Hina!
00:16:59Hina!
00:16:59Hina!
00:16:59Hina!
00:17:00Hina!
00:17:01Hina!
00:17:02Hina!
00:17:02Hina!
00:17:02Hina!
00:17:02Hina!
00:17:05Hina!
00:17:09Hina!
00:17:09Hina!
00:17:10The boat will pick you up.
00:17:11Get to camp and get to work.
00:17:13Start building your new world.
00:17:14Yeah.
00:17:20All right, Uli, Kellett, not the start you wanted.
00:17:23As a result, you're now going to have to try again to earn your Tribe Supplies.
00:17:28Here's how it's going to work.
00:17:29Each Tribe is going to pick one person.
00:17:32They will compete against each other in the fight for supplies.
00:17:35All right, guys, who's it going to be?
00:17:37Any volunteers?
00:17:38I don't want to.
00:17:39I don't want to go either.
00:17:40I mean, if someone has to go, I'll go.
00:17:42But if it's a puzzle, we're cooked.
00:17:44I mean...
00:17:44We've got to go with one of you two, guys.
00:17:48Yeah.
00:17:49Yeah.
00:17:51All right, Uli, who's it going to be?
00:17:54It's going to be me, Jeff.
00:17:55All right, Kellett, who's it going to be?
00:17:57I'm taking on a Rizzo, Jeff.
00:18:00All right, Rizzo, Alex, head out.
00:18:03The boat will pick you up.
00:18:04You'll return to camp after you compete in your fight for supplies.
00:18:10Uli, map to your new home.
00:18:12Good luck.
00:18:13Thanks, Uncle Jeff.
00:18:14Head out.
00:18:18Kella, map to your new home.
00:18:20Whoo!
00:18:22Good luck.
00:18:23Survival 49 is underway.
00:18:27Holy crap.
00:18:29This is the real deal.
00:18:31I was completely gassed.
00:18:32Alex was gassed.
00:18:33We were all gassed.
00:18:34But when Alex said, I'll go and do this one.
00:18:36Right away, I knew that was going to be my guy.
00:18:38It shows he wants to take care of his peers and partners, right?
00:18:41And that's exactly what I'm looking for in a person here.
00:18:43Because this is a lot harder than you think it is.
00:18:45And I'm learning that very quickly.
00:18:57Whoo!
00:19:02Whoo!
00:19:03Whoo!
00:19:04We won the first challenge, and I was struck by a bolt of lightning.
00:19:10Tina!
00:19:11Whoo!
00:19:13Because I'm such a viewer, and now I am on Survivor.
00:19:18I am in the TV.
00:19:20Whoo!
00:19:21Whoo!
00:19:22We won.
00:19:23So I think morale couldn't have been higher.
00:19:25I think it's like the brass tacks, which are like, we have flipped, we have a machete,
00:19:29and we have a pot.
00:19:30I'm a big social person, and now we get to come to our beach, scope out the place, and
00:19:37get to know each other.
00:19:39I work at YouTube.
00:19:41Awesome.
00:19:41I throw bags at the airport.
00:19:42I actually am a program manager at a space engineering company.
00:19:46You struck me as a Ryan.
00:19:47I appreciate that.
00:19:49I actually, this is like the greatest compliment I've ever gotten, but people have called me
00:19:53like a discount Ryan Reynolds before.
00:19:56I do see it.
00:19:57It's not a discount.
00:19:58You're never a discount.
00:19:58That's what I say.
00:19:59I appreciate that.
00:20:00He's the discount Steven.
00:20:00Oh, man.
00:20:02I love you guys so much already.
00:20:04It's day one, and everybody has seen my hearing aids.
00:20:08And of course, there's a stigma behind wearing them.
00:20:10It's a sign of old age, or it's a sign that something's wrong with you.
00:20:13Can I ask about it?
00:20:14Yeah.
00:20:14I'm super happy to talk about it.
00:20:16So basically, I went like two decades of my entire life without even realizing that I
00:20:20had hearing loss.
00:20:21It was so nice that my tribe immediately asked, looks like you have hearing aids.
00:20:25Do you want to tell us about that?
00:20:26I was dating someone at the time, and she was like, you never listen to me.
00:20:29And I was like, I'm trying.
00:20:30And so I was like, I'll get a hearing test to humor it.
00:20:33And it came back.
00:20:34They were like, you should probably get hearing aids.
00:20:35And I just remember putting them on for the first time.
00:20:37And my first thought was like, wow, the world sounds so vibrant and rich.
00:20:41And my second thought was like, how many farts did I think I got of you?
00:20:44But like, I literally did not.
00:20:47Steven is a social nerd, just like myself.
00:20:49We thrive on relationships, and I appreciate that.
00:20:53Just because I bring absolutely zero skills to surviving out here.
00:20:58Okay, that was so fun.
00:21:02I am a very adventurous person.
00:21:04However, I'm definitely a city girl.
00:21:07Never been camping, and I don't like all the things that comes with being outdoors.
00:21:16Really?
00:21:16Okay, I'm definitely a city girl.
00:21:18The animals are already freaking me out.
00:21:21I thought that was...
00:21:22Also, I have a intense, an intense phobia of birds.
00:21:28Oh my God, what is that?
00:21:29Oh my God, it's one of the birds.
00:21:31Okay, this is not a good time to tell you guys that I have a phobia of birds.
00:21:34There's a list of things that I probably would be complaining about right now that I am really, really internalizing.
00:21:40And I think that is growth.
00:21:42No!
00:21:44I will try to be brave, but not on day one.
00:21:46Okay?
00:21:55Home sweet home!
00:21:57Yeah!
00:21:58Coming into Survivor really thrills me.
00:22:01Let's go!
00:22:02I have a really big passion for astrology, so I want to be the first male Taurus to ever win
00:22:08Survivor.
00:22:09I'm from Toronto.
00:22:10Are you serious?
00:22:11You're the least driver.
00:22:12Of course, I'm the least driver.
00:22:13Let's go!
00:22:15The thing with Tauruses are we love luxury things, so this is like so outside of my element.
00:22:22Well, I guess this is home base, guys.
00:22:23Real cozy.
00:22:25I don't really want to come across as like, you know...
00:22:28Actually, I want to come across as really ditzy.
00:22:31I'm so glad there's some colorful representation on this tribe.
00:22:35Yeah.
00:22:36I'm just saying I'm happy there's another gay person.
00:22:38I'm looking at my tribe and I'm thinking, this is going to be a handful, this bunch.
00:22:44Is this outside of your comfort zone?
00:22:46Living in the jungle?
00:22:47I'm a New Yorker.
00:22:49Yes!
00:22:50Losing the first challenge, we don't get flint.
00:22:52We also don't get a machete, so we definitely pulling up into our new home, we're feeling like...
00:23:01I heard a crash, is everything okay?
00:23:04Yeah.
00:23:04No machete is rough.
00:23:06Because when you're building a shelter, a machete is essential for collecting bamboo, chopping off palm fronds.
00:23:16Oh!
00:23:18I just fell on my ass.
00:23:20Even eating, you can't eat without a machete.
00:23:23It's impossible.
00:23:24You're using so much energy to rip open a coconut.
00:23:27It took me like 35 minutes to open a coconut.
00:23:30Whereas with the machete, it might have taken me 3.5 minutes.
00:23:34If this means anything for you...
00:23:37I've...
00:23:37Like, you're one of the only people here that I'm like, I've had good vibes from the second I saw
00:23:42you.
00:23:42Yeah.
00:23:43100%.
00:23:43Getting to camp kind of felt like the first day of high school.
00:23:47You know, you're a little nervous, you're a little excited.
00:23:49And then it kind of hits you like, not everybody here is going to make it to graduation.
00:23:53Okay, pivot.
00:23:55And I just have to make sure that one of those people is not me.
00:23:58Do you believe in astrology?
00:24:01No.
00:24:02I don't think astrology.
00:24:03Okay, but I'd love to hear about it.
00:24:04So I'm going to be everybody's friend out here.
00:24:06I don't know.
00:24:07I feel like good energy from you.
00:24:08But I just wanted to tell you that.
00:24:10Same.
00:24:10I want to align myself with as many people as I possibly can.
00:24:13This definitely isn't Canada.
00:24:14I don't tell you that.
00:24:15Nope.
00:24:16Not Miami either.
00:24:17But coming out here, I knew I wanted to have a meat shield.
00:24:21And so when I saw Jake on my mat, I was like, thank you, God.
00:24:27I want you to be my number one.
00:24:29Well, you know what?
00:24:29Me and Alex, we have a romance going already.
00:24:31We haven't even talked.
00:24:32Okay.
00:24:32So if we want to do a three of us.
00:24:35Yeah.
00:24:35Breaking the final three?
00:24:36Final three of us.
00:24:37All right.
00:24:38He's the mother of all meat shields.
00:24:40He's a filet mignon at a Michelin star steakhouse.
00:24:48I ate it.
00:24:49I ate it.
00:24:49Go on.
00:24:50Go on.
00:24:51Savannah.
00:24:54Fives, guys.
00:24:55I know.
00:24:55I'm not just saying this.
00:24:57I seriously feel like we have such a dope tribe.
00:24:59Yeah.
00:24:59Everybody's energy is just up here.
00:25:02I can tell right away, this tribe is the vibe tribe.
00:25:04We are the feel good tribe.
00:25:05We're the let's go have fun tribe, which is cool.
00:25:07I'll buy into it for a minute.
00:25:08But honestly, we've already lost one challenge.
00:25:11So immediately, I'm trying to suss out everybody.
00:25:13Hi, I'm Savannah.
00:25:15And I'm from Atlanta, Georgia.
00:25:17As a former reporter, I think the number one skill I have
00:25:19that is going to be so useful to me out here
00:25:21is my ability to build trust with other people.
00:25:24What do you do?
00:25:24I'm in marketing.
00:25:25Okay, awesome.
00:25:26But I'm not telling anyone out here that I used to work in news
00:25:28because I don't want to be perceived as someone
00:25:30who is good with their words.
00:25:33My goal out here is to just focus on these one-on-one relationships
00:25:36and hope that that serves me well.
00:25:39My name's Nate.
00:25:40I am from Los Angeles.
00:25:41I am 47.
00:25:42Nice.
00:25:43Right now, I'm a stay-at-home dad.
00:25:44And I used to do, like, film and television production.
00:25:46Did we ask what you, like, worked on?
00:25:49It's like my first PA job was on Sam Raimi's Spider-Man 2.
00:25:53Oh my God!
00:25:56Oh my God!
00:25:57But I've done a lot of stuff like that.
00:25:58I don't know why I'm so excited.
00:25:59The biggest reaction I got from my job was from Juwan.
00:26:02He thinks I was just a production assistant.
00:26:05And the truth is, I produce films, including films for Marvel Studios
00:26:08like the Black Panther and Captain America franchises.
00:26:11But my goal is to minimize as much as I can what I do.
00:26:15What do you guys know about building the shelter?
00:26:18So little.
00:26:18Because people will think of any reason to vote you out on the show.
00:26:22That might spell the end of my game.
00:26:25Here I go, folks. My first bamboo.
00:26:30Yo, I need a freakin' machete.
00:26:33Hey, did you notice he said if it's a puzzle, we're cooked?
00:26:36So that means...
00:26:37Fat.
00:26:37Okay.
00:26:39Everybody going into Survivor, like, dreams of getting those supplies up front
00:26:43because it's such an advantage.
00:26:45And we know Rizzo's, like, trying to pull one through for the team.
00:26:48But, like, those first bonding moments are so crucial.
00:26:52Can you pull it that way, Juwan?
00:26:54Nice.
00:26:55Yay! Good job, guys.
00:26:56And, like, as we're building the shelter, I'm trying to suss out
00:26:59who is somebody that I can be, oh, God, 100% honest with?
00:27:05You want to take a second?
00:27:05Oh, yeah, I'm good. I just had to burp.
00:27:08Cool.
00:27:09I'm so happy you're here.
00:27:10I feel that with you, too.
00:27:13But the top person that I'm really getting that vibe from is Shannon.
00:27:17You've just got a safe space.
00:27:19Beautiful.
00:27:20I feel likewise with you, like, soul sister vibes.
00:27:23The signs are there.
00:27:24Yeah.
00:27:25I am loving these initial vibes.
00:27:27The huge part of my game is being adaptable and feeling into people.
00:27:31I run high-vibe women's events in Boston, but I didn't grow up with any spirituality.
00:27:36It was like Fenway Park as church.
00:27:38You're doing great.
00:27:39Yeah.
00:27:39And you're here for a reason.
00:27:41You're so sweet.
00:27:41Now I have this one side that's kind of like Boston, Donnie Wahlberg, and this other side
00:27:46that's kind of like Stevie Nicks, and you mix the two, and I have this spiritual connection
00:27:50which guides everything that I do in my life.
00:27:54Thank you, Ocean, for welcoming me.
00:27:57May I respect you and love you, and may I receive love and respect back.
00:28:03I love that.
00:28:05With my tribe, I can love them, and I do, and they feel that.
00:28:09But I also am recognizing that I am going to have to cut them at some point.
00:28:13I just need to figure out when is it time to attack, and who am I attacking?
00:28:27We lost, and Jeff says choose one person to battle for supplies.
00:28:32A one-on-one battle to prove your worth.
00:28:36So I stepped up to the plate.
00:28:37Rizzo.
00:28:38Alex, nice to meet you.
00:28:39Pleasure.
00:28:39The athlete in me is like, give me the ball.
00:28:43I want the last shot.
00:28:44I was ready for the challenge, and I was ready to prove my individual worth.
00:28:49It's day one of Survivor 49, and both your tribes have already suffered their first defeat.
00:28:55Here's your chance to prove your individual worth.
00:28:58Each player must race onto the peninsula to find ten coconuts marked with your emblem.
00:29:03Bring them back one at a time.
00:29:05Once you have all ten, open the coconuts and use the pieces inside to solve a puzzle, revealing the location
00:29:12of the ship's wheel.
00:29:13Retrieve the wheel and use it to crank your flagpole.
00:29:16The first player to raise their flag to the top earned their tribe's plies.
00:29:22All right, good luck. Let's see what happens.
00:29:25Yeah.
00:29:25When I stepped up for the challenge, I told my tribe mates, if it's a puzzle, we are cooked.
00:29:31And in big bold letters, it says puzzle pieces.
00:29:35And in my mind, I was like, damn it, Rizzo, why did I do this?
00:29:41One, two, three, go.
00:29:47We have to find ten coconuts with our tribe colors on them in this huge field.
00:29:53Oh, Toby.
00:29:55And honestly, I'm really good at cardio. I do the elliptical every day.
00:29:59So being able to do this, like, distance type of running was not a problem.
00:30:03It was exhausting, but I was able to, like, get into a groove.
00:30:07I look over at Rizzo, and he's struggling.
00:30:11I'm gassed.
00:30:14Alex is smoking me.
00:30:16One, two, three, nine, ten.
00:30:18This guy's already found his coconuts before me.
00:30:20Last one. No.
00:30:22And he's already opening up his pieces to the puzzle,
00:30:25while I'm still there huffing and puffing, trying to find my coconuts.
00:30:28No.
00:30:32Last one.
00:30:33And I'm already feeling down in the dumps, because I know my puzzle abilities.
00:30:37On a scale of zero to 100, it's negative 100.
00:30:40And all I see is Alex flying through this puzzle.
00:30:44Yeah, that looks good.
00:30:45I, quite honestly, love jigsaw puzzles.
00:30:49That's right. That's right.
00:30:50Okay. Let's go.
00:30:51Of course I'm looking over at what Rizzo's doing, but I have a lead.
00:30:55And it's a pretty comfortable lead.
00:30:57That's gotta be ten.
00:30:58All right, let's go.
00:31:06Oh, boy.
00:31:07Damn.
00:31:08That's there.
00:31:09Treasure mask.
00:31:11Let's go.
00:31:12He's cooking.
00:31:14I look over, and Alex is two pieces away from being complete.
00:31:18Let's go.
00:31:22Treasure.
00:31:24White log.
00:31:25X marks the spot.
00:31:29I finished the puzzle, and there's an X marks the spot.
00:31:33I feel good.
00:31:34I had this puzzle done, and Rizzo is just starting. Are you kidding me?
00:31:39I know it's looking bleak.
00:31:42I know it's looking bleak.
00:31:46You can't find it. Oh, my God.
00:31:48Alex is still digging. So I'm saying to myself, you got a chance.
00:31:53But I can't figure out the puzzle. I don't know which piece goes in which area.
00:31:57And I was like, screw it.
00:31:59We're on Survivor.
00:32:00I'm going to go see his puzzle.
00:32:03Sorry, Alex. Don't hate me, but...
00:32:05And I still can't figure it out.
00:32:08I suck at puzzles.
00:32:10All right, you know what? We're doing it that way.
00:32:11So I brought all of my pieces, stacked them on top of Alex's pieces,
00:32:16and then just come one by one, bringing it to my board
00:32:19and fitting the pieces to the puzzle.
00:32:22I had them in the right way.
00:32:23That's just not the right guy.
00:32:28Hey, buddy.
00:32:29Sorry, buddy.
00:32:30Give him the phone. All right, good boy.
00:32:31Damn, my phone.
00:32:33Alex actually plopped his body on top of the table so I wouldn't see.
00:32:38And I'm like, dang it, I almost had it.
00:32:40But he proceeds to leave again, and then my joy comes out again.
00:32:43All right, I'm back.
00:32:45Hi, friends. Missed you.
00:32:46I'm like, oh, my God. He didn't break it.
00:32:48I'm going to cheat again.
00:32:50Oh, yes.
00:32:50Oh, my God. I'm a genius.
00:32:55What am I missing?
00:32:57Dude, he still has not found it yet.
00:32:58Am I not going deep enough?
00:33:02I'm digging, digging, nothing.
00:33:04So I start digging in multiple spots.
00:33:09Nothing.
00:33:10And now I'm starting to get exhausted.
00:33:13The electrical did not prepare me for this.
00:33:16Where the hell?
00:33:17And I see Rizzo's over at my puzzle looking at the pieces.
00:33:21There's an X marks the spot, and luckily Rizzo's spot is different.
00:33:25But still, how can he not get the pieces together when he's literally putting them piece for piece exactly over
00:33:31mine?
00:33:32What am I missing?
00:33:33Looking at this puzzle board, something doesn't seem right.
00:33:37Something is missing.
00:33:38Hmm.
00:33:41This is where we run into a little bit of a problem.
00:33:43Because I'm either missing pieces...
00:33:47Am I missing? Oh, my God, guys. You want to see that?
00:33:51Rizzo.
00:33:52I'm like, you goofball. Why did you not open all of them?
00:33:56Well, that's where they were, Rizzo.
00:33:57And now I kind of finally see the picture.
00:34:01Oh, my God, don't call it a comeback.
00:34:03This one's for you, Mom.
00:34:07Uh...
00:34:08What the heck?
00:34:10I am crapping my pants.
00:34:15Am I seriously about to lose with a monster head start?
00:34:20Rizzo, come on. This is all me and you know it.
00:34:23No, I've come too far.
00:34:26All I thought was, Rizzo, dig the fastest you can dig.
00:34:30No matter how you dig this hole, whether it's your feet, your arms, or your damn face.
00:34:36Dig this hole and find this ship wheel.
00:34:41And as I'm digging, I strike something hard.
00:34:44Oh, my God. Oh, my God.
00:34:46I found it.
00:34:48Oh, my God.
00:34:49It felt like winning the lottery. I felt like, oh, my God.
00:34:52I found this ship wheel.
00:34:55And...
00:34:55With everything I had inside...
00:34:58I pulled this ship wheel out of the sand.
00:35:02Oh, my God.
00:35:05That five-second survivor moment of raising the flag from the bottom to the top...
00:35:12...meant everything to me.
00:35:14Oh, my God.
00:35:16I am in utter shock.
00:35:19I did it.
00:35:20I had the biggest lead. It's painful, and it hurt my pride.
00:35:24Great job.
00:35:25No, I appreciate it.
00:35:26I wish you the best of luck, right?
00:35:27No, I'm old.
00:35:28I wasn't supposed to win this challenge, but I never quit.
00:35:32I thought about everybody I was doing it for.
00:35:35My girlfriend, and, like, just doing everything for my parents, and for everybody in Norvalia.
00:35:41And I'm so proud of myself, man.
00:35:44I'm like, wow.
00:35:46Wow.
00:35:48Wow.
00:35:49I wish I could hug myself, but that's weird.
00:35:52I'm so proud that I stepped up to the plate.
00:35:56This is up there for the best moment of my life.
00:36:06I can't wait for an aqua dump.
00:36:08If anyone does have an official aqua dump, and you want to describe it to me in detail, please know
00:36:14that I would love nothing more than that.
00:36:17I love poop.
00:36:18Really?
00:36:19I love poop?
00:36:19Yeah.
00:36:20Sage has no filter.
00:36:22She is somebody who says exactly what's on her mind, and what's on her mind is usually fun and really
00:36:27entertaining.
00:36:27But it's also clear that we're in a game that requires secrecy, and I'm not sure that's a great quality
00:36:32for this particular game.
00:36:38A turtle!
00:36:41I want to be all the mail, man!
00:36:44Because I got the...
00:36:49Can we get down the fire?
00:36:51Our boy Rizzo, he holds up the machete.
00:36:54I'm like, let's go!
00:36:55Rizzo!
00:36:56I did it for all of us.
00:36:58We killed it.
00:37:00I don't think I've ever seen something so beautiful in my life, and that freaking pot and our flint and
00:37:07our machete.
00:37:08I'll tell you this much, my boyfriend, when he sees how happy I am about the pot, flint, and machete,
00:37:12he's going to be like, I've been spending how much on our dinners?
00:37:15What?
00:37:16I don't even believe I'm here right now anyway.
00:37:19I actually don't want to cry, but like...
00:37:21Please cry!
00:37:21I think about, like, my family immigrated from Albania. My parents were both arranged. They literally didn't know each other.
00:37:29They both moved to this country, got married, had me.
00:37:32And I'm from Yockers, New York. Grew up in a 500 square foot apartment with one bedroom. My parents are
00:37:39both custodians. They clean for a living.
00:37:41My mom does it for a high school and my dad does it for, like, a hotel.
00:37:45And they always told me, Rizzo, like, we came to this country and we want you to live your American
00:37:50dream.
00:37:50Wow.
00:37:51I just thought about it and I thought about making you guys proud.
00:37:54I thought about making my brother, my mom and dad, and everybody at home proud.
00:37:58So, I didn't want to let you guys down.
00:38:00We are so proud.
00:38:01We are proud.
00:38:01Yeah, you got us.
00:38:02We were proud of you.
00:38:03I know.
00:38:03We were thinking about you the whole time we were.
00:38:05Getting to have an iconic moment, day one of Survivor, it's something you dreamed about.
00:38:10And now it's stamped that the man, the myth, the legend, R-I-Z-G-O-D, Riz Godbaby, was
00:38:17here to play Survivor.
00:38:19What do you think the other tribes are doing? You think they're struggling?
00:38:21Probably doing this.
00:38:23Not the blue tribe.
00:38:24Oh.
00:38:31Coming back into camp empty-handed.
00:38:33I am thinking to myself, what's going to happen?
00:38:36What are people going to think of me?
00:38:38Oh, this is bad.
00:38:39Yeah!
00:38:40And are they going to be so pissed that they don't have supplies that I'm the next target?
00:38:44What?
00:38:46Nothing?
00:38:47Sorry, guys.
00:38:48That's all right, buddy.
00:38:50Welcome home.
00:38:50But my job in my real life, I work on Capitol Hill, and I know it's all about the image
00:38:57of when I come back.
00:38:58So my mind is just racing.
00:39:00How do I spin this?
00:39:02Basically, a loss is a loss, but he had no idea how to do a puzzle.
00:39:06I smoked him on that, and I was digging for 15 minutes, and I guess I missed it by a
00:39:12little month, a little bit, you know?
00:39:14Welcome home, buddy.
00:39:15It's all good.
00:39:16No, no, I mean, I feel so bad.
00:39:18Don't feel bad.
00:39:19You took one for the team.
00:39:20Like, honestly, thank you.
00:39:21Do not feel bad.
00:39:22I need a tour of the place.
00:39:24So Alex didn't come back with any supplies, which is a bummer.
00:39:27I mean, it means everything.
00:39:29We have nothing now.
00:39:30We've got a whole pile of those things, which we can't leave together yet until we have a machete.
00:39:33We have a machete.
00:39:34Cut them.
00:39:34These are weird.
00:39:35Yeah.
00:39:37I would have preferred that he won, but Jake was the one who kind of came up to me and
00:39:41told me that he saw something in Alex and that he trusts him for whatever reason.
00:39:46Are they saying anything about me?
00:39:47Like, are people talking?
00:39:48No.
00:39:49No, no, no.
00:39:49I told them.
00:39:50I can just look at this guy and make him laugh with him without even saying a word to him,
00:39:53right?
00:39:53Yeah, I know, I know.
00:39:54We're a bromance.
00:39:55Okay.
00:39:56Okay.
00:39:56So, us three.
00:39:58Yeah, I'm down.
00:39:59Me and Sophie talked earlier.
00:40:01We need to bring Alex on straight away.
00:40:03It is, it's a gut feeling, man.
00:40:04I don't know if it's a sign from God just telling me to trust Alex.
00:40:08One of my motivations about why I want you guys on my team.
00:40:10Yeah.
00:40:11So, me and my wife were trying to get pregnant for four and a half years.
00:40:14Couldn't get pregnant.
00:40:15So, she went and had a procedure done.
00:40:16After I got show, she got pregnant.
00:40:20No way.
00:40:21So, she's giving birth to my kid while I'm here.
00:40:23No.
00:40:24No, you're not.
00:40:25Dude.
00:40:26Yeah, I know, man.
00:40:26Are you serious?
00:40:26Oh, my God.
00:40:28Are you serious?
00:40:29That's really going to make me cry.
00:40:30Yeah.
00:40:30When is that happening?
00:40:31Next week.
00:40:32Yeah, it's a little boy.
00:40:34Oh, my God.
00:40:35We're expecting our very first little boy while I'm here on the island.
00:40:39So, it's a little bit bittersweet, to be honest.
00:40:44It's, I gave her the opportunity to tell me not to go.
00:40:49But she said, go and make some money for our family.
00:40:52That's a piece of my life.
00:40:53Yeah.
00:40:53Wow.
00:40:53That I'm going to obviously trust you guys with.
00:40:55And I'm going to keep you guys safe.
00:40:57Yeah.
00:40:57You have my, like, I will shake your hand.
00:40:59No, I know.
00:40:59I know.
00:41:00Honestly, you two were beautiful that I, like, definitely would get along with.
00:41:04In the outside world.
00:41:05Jake shares with Sophie and I.
00:41:07He could be having a child at any moment.
00:41:09It showed just how much he's fighting for his family.
00:41:13I came back with nothing.
00:41:15And within an hour, we just got very deep.
00:41:18This is something that is going to bond the three of us together for a long time.
00:41:24Oh, you're a professional gamer?
00:41:25Yeah.
00:41:26I mean, I competed.
00:41:28And I've won money.
00:41:29But I'm not.
00:41:30That's okay.
00:41:31The definition.
00:41:32What's your game of choice?
00:41:33I play Super Smash Brothers.
00:41:35I love it.
00:41:35Dude, that's my favorite game.
00:41:36Like, okay.
00:41:37GameCube or, like, Wii?
00:41:39So, I love Melee, but I play Project M, which is a mod of Brawl, to make it play like
00:41:44Melee.
00:41:44Nerd talk.
00:41:45I love it.
00:41:47I'm without question the oldest guy here.
00:41:49There's definitely a generational thing there.
00:41:52Like, I don't even know what you're talking about, man.
00:41:54I've never heard of it.
00:41:55So, is what you do called streaming?
00:41:57Well, it was just like playing, right?
00:42:00So, but you know what?
00:42:01I have something that nobody else here has.
00:42:04We want enough in there that we can just slide the fire into it and it'll catch.
00:42:09Okay.
00:42:09And build it up like a teepee.
00:42:11My favorite thing growing up was Boy Scouts.
00:42:14So, the outdoors, I've got that in a bag.
00:42:17But it's gonna be so hard to bite my tongue.
00:42:20Okay.
00:42:22This way.
00:42:24I mean, some of these people have never slept outside.
00:42:28Nothing's happening.
00:42:29It's on my survivor bucket list to start a fire.
00:42:32Here, here, here.
00:42:33But it's a little harder than I thought.
00:42:37Here we go.
00:42:38Okay.
00:42:40I just can't get it to sustain.
00:42:42We got really close to making fire, but it started getting so dark.
00:42:46And I could tell Matt knew a hundred ways we could be doing everything better.
00:42:51And it was killing him inside.
00:42:53Matt, you wanna give it a try?
00:42:55Here.
00:42:56Matt, I know you know how to do this.
00:42:58You know you know how to do this.
00:42:59Okay.
00:43:00There it goes.
00:43:01Woo!
00:43:02Yeah, hell yeah!
00:43:03Woo!
00:43:04Oh!
00:43:05People are starting to understand I'm not just some old guy with a funny beard.
00:43:10Wow.
00:43:12Nice.
00:43:12How's that?
00:43:14I know my stuff when it comes to what we need to do out here.
00:43:17And I think this is gonna give me an opportunity to become invaluable to the tribe.
00:43:37I know what happens to see the other shoe.
00:43:40My other shoe?
00:43:41You lost the shoe?
00:43:41I would love it.
00:43:42It matches that one?
00:43:44It's the same exact shoe.
00:43:45It's my left shoe.
00:43:47I lost my shoe, and I'm a type A eldest daughter.
00:43:51Like, I have my stuff in check.
00:43:53We'll find it.
00:43:54We'll find it.
00:43:55Left shoe?
00:43:55Right shoe?
00:43:56Left white.
00:43:57Can't go far.
00:43:59My name's Jake, also known as the Shoe Bandit.
00:44:04Yesterday, I seen a shoe.
00:44:05I'm like, I'm gonna hide that shoe.
00:44:07So I hid it five, ten meters away, just under a log.
00:44:11So I've just decided that every day I'm gonna hide a left shoe.
00:44:15I found it.
00:44:16I found it.
00:44:16I'm gonna head over there.
00:44:17Wait, that's weird.
00:44:18What?
00:44:19Someone throw it?
00:44:20Yeah, that was a throw.
00:44:22That's crazy.
00:44:24It's 99% entertainment, 1% chaos.
00:44:27I'm glad you found it.
00:44:28No, I'm kidding.
00:44:29This is just the start of the famous shoe bandit on Survivor 49.
00:44:34We're gonna have the most energy today that we have.
00:44:36You know, it's gonna keep steadily going down until we have a food source.
00:44:40Yeah.
00:44:40So, might as well take advantage of our energy.
00:44:42Yeah.
00:44:42You're gonna do laundry.
00:44:44Yeah.
00:44:45And a couple of us can go look for bamboo and palm fronts before, like, everything gets
00:44:48super hot.
00:44:49So, I'm an entrepreneur and I'm the front person in a band.
00:44:52And so, as part of running a company and running a band, I tend to want to boss people
00:44:58around.
00:44:58You got it all figured out, girlfriend.
00:45:00Oh, yeah.
00:45:01I'm 49 years old.
00:45:03And so, people are gonna think certain things about me.
00:45:05Because I'm old, you know, compared to the 20 year olds out there.
00:45:10But I've done a ton of really physically demanding things in my life.
00:45:16You know, I've done mountaineering.
00:45:18I've done Ironmans.
00:45:19I've done multi-day adventure races.
00:45:21I've never done a competition that involves a social component before.
00:45:26Annie, come with us.
00:45:27I'm just gonna go with the couple that I saw and then I'll...
00:45:29Okay.
00:45:30Okay.
00:45:30Yeah, that sounds good.
00:45:34This is survivor one-on-one never to leave somebody off on their own.
00:45:37I just think it's dumb to isolate yourself.
00:45:39I love Annie's energy.
00:45:41I think she's like a kind person.
00:45:44But when you're spending time alone, perception is, is that you're looking for an idol.
00:45:49And if you're not building those relationships with people, you're kind of putting a target
00:45:53on yourself.
00:45:54Someone's gotta get on her side and find out she's got advantage.
00:45:57No one wants to throw a name out, but like, she's doing it to herself.
00:46:00She seems...
00:46:01Okay, you go girl.
00:46:02So, by Annie going off on her own really is creating a bond between us.
00:46:07We have something to talk about.
00:46:09We all don't want to be the first person voted out.
00:46:11And so, I'd rather it be her and not me.
00:46:15I wanna talk to you.
00:46:16Yes, I definitely wanna talk to you.
00:46:18Okay, so...
00:46:19Yes.
00:46:20Can I say what I came into this game wanting?
00:46:23I would love...
00:46:23I wanted someone like you because I have always had a special relationship.
00:46:30Not...
00:46:30With...
00:46:30Don't say your mom or I'm gonna keep you in there.
00:46:32No, no, no, no.
00:46:33I'm not gonna say my mom.
00:46:34You're big sister.
00:46:34Just like my teacher...
00:46:35My teachers...
00:46:37Yeah.
00:46:37My boss is a female.
00:46:39And like, we're best friends.
00:46:41And so, it's like, I look for this like...
00:46:44This woman figure in my life.
00:46:46I love it.
00:46:46Basically.
00:46:47My job in my real life, I'm a communications director on Capitol Hill for a congresswoman.
00:46:51My boss is an awesome grandmother-like figure.
00:46:55And so, I want this mother figure.
00:46:57And who I see this mother figure in is Annie.
00:47:00What we need is for the tribe to kind of not know that we're working together, right?
00:47:04Well, I want it to be a secret, you know?
00:47:05Annie is someone that I actually could see myself going far in this game with.
00:47:09I really wanted to work with someone who no one would expect.
00:47:12And so, I feel like I'm in a good spot because I also have this solid alliance with Jake and
00:47:18Sophie.
00:47:18So, I need to be thinking in my head, who is gonna be the most loyal to me down the
00:47:25road?
00:47:25Pinky swear?
00:47:26Yeah.
00:47:27Okay.
00:47:27No, I mean, honestly, this is what I wanted.
00:47:29Pinky swears are binding in a court of law.
00:47:31No, seriously, let me sign the paperwork right now.
00:47:33I work in D.C.
00:47:43Taking a moment to be here right now.
00:47:46And then, as we settle in to this present moment, focusing in on your breath.
00:47:54Ahhhh.
00:47:55Shannon is like a total yogi, leading all of us through yoga, meditation, breath work.
00:48:01Ahhhh.
00:48:05I was not into the woo-woo breath work stuff.
00:48:07We can't just be feel-good vibes all the time.
00:48:09Like, this is gonna get real at some point.
00:48:11Anytime your mind starts to wander, come back to the breath with a lot of love.
00:48:15But now, I'm realizing underneath that layer of feel-good, meditation, she's smart.
00:48:21I know she's out here playing a game.
00:48:22And with that, I feel like we're ready to have a really, really great day.
00:48:26Thank you for sitting with me.
00:48:28I like that though, because we both do have big hearts, but we also aren't afraid to be killers.
00:48:33This is my first time doing this, so I'm missing a lot.
00:48:37I'm so sorry.
00:48:39It's nice to be here at the water wheel today.
00:48:41Yeah.
00:48:41You know what I'm saying?
00:48:42Based off of where we're at in the game, I'm feeling grateful for the experiences I'm having,
00:48:47and the connections I'm making.
00:48:48But, I need to create a powerful alliance moving forward.
00:48:53Hey, I care about you guys.
00:48:55I care about you too.
00:48:56Yeah, I care about everybody, but obviously, you know.
00:48:58Yeah.
00:48:59I love Joanne.
00:49:01And now, I'm really connecting with Savannah.
00:49:04We're just kind of naturally gravitating towards each other.
00:49:07My game is I want to go far with people and duke it out, like the best player wins.
00:49:12I think we're probably going to be the most dangerous people.
00:49:15Knock on wood.
00:49:16Okay.
00:49:17Me, Savannah, and Joanne were talking, and we're like, this three is a vibe.
00:49:21Well, good work.
00:49:21Good luck team.
00:49:22Oh, Tim.
00:49:23I'm excited.
00:49:24We got a good thing, us three right now.
00:49:27We just need one more.
00:49:28Because, in a tribe of six, you need a majority of four.
00:49:31But, we just have to choose the right person.
00:49:34I'm definitely having an open casting call.
00:49:36Who wants to join the Willy Four?
00:49:40Is it going to be Sage, the wacky social worker?
00:49:44Do you like video games?
00:49:45I like Roblox.
00:49:48Okay.
00:49:48She could be like a smoke screen character.
00:49:51Is it going to be the young, blood, the hero, Rizzo?
00:49:56I'm like kind of a professional.
00:49:57Yeah, for real.
00:49:58Me and him could do like a JT and Steven thing.
00:50:01Or, is it going to be Nate, the dad from LA?
00:50:04You have like a favorite movie?
00:50:06The Goonies.
00:50:07The Goonies?
00:50:08I love The Goonies.
00:50:09When I see Nate, he does seem like a great ally.
00:50:12He seems calm, cool, collected.
00:50:16Nice.
00:50:18This casting audition list is very crucial.
00:50:22Who I choose for this for will dictate the game.
00:50:25So, the casting auditions are still wide open at this point.
00:50:29This is going to be difficult.
00:50:31I'm not going to lie.
00:50:36There we go.
00:50:38Oh my god!
00:50:44Morale at Hina is very high.
00:50:46We are happy to keep this comradery, this all for one mentality.
00:50:52And that, honestly, is a huge mental lift.
00:50:54I'm not questioning things that I say to people
00:50:56because I'm not worried that they're about to stab me in the back.
00:51:02Right now, everyone's happy. Everything's optimistic.
00:51:05We've won our first challenge,
00:51:07but that's all gonna come crashing down at some point.
00:51:11All right, now, the hard work begins.
00:51:12All right.
00:51:13I'm trying not to have my hand in too many cookie jars,
00:51:16but I do think it's important to start forming some of these connections.
00:51:19I knew I'd like you from, like, the moment I saw you.
00:51:22Yeah, I do. I have that effect on people.
00:51:25Yeah.
00:51:26You just, I don't know, you just give me, like, a really good feeling.
00:51:29Right out of the gate, Steven and I made the strongest connection.
00:51:32I really think we've got a good beginning of a strong relationship.
00:51:38I was so excited to see that you were on my tribe,
00:51:41and so I just would really like to work together.
00:51:43I agree. I think that you would be a really good guy to bounce ideas off of.
00:51:48I've been feeling really good about Steven.
00:51:49There's just something so charming about him.
00:51:52There's something so immediately vulnerable,
00:51:53and hopefully he's not telling everybody that he loves them.
00:51:57I really like you.
00:51:59Yeah.
00:52:00It goes without saying.
00:52:01Yeah, for sure.
00:52:02I got your back.
00:52:03I got your back, too.
00:52:04It's funny.
00:52:05My first impression of you, I wasn't sure how I would feel about you,
00:52:09if I'm being honest.
00:52:10Yeah, but getting to know you, I'm like, oh, wait, he's funny.
00:52:13He's goofy. I like your vibe.
00:52:15Nice.
00:52:15I'm just doing everything I can right now, getting to know all these people,
00:52:20and...
00:52:22But at the same time, it's like, do you actually like me?
00:52:24Do you actually want to keep working with me?
00:52:27Do you have some side hustle going?
00:52:29Do you think there's any other aligned sport right now?
00:52:31You know there he is.
00:52:33I'm starting to feel a little bit paranoid,
00:52:35but it might just be social anxiety,
00:52:38because I was always the smallest kid.
00:52:41I was 4'11", until I hit my growth spurt,
00:52:43which was halfway through high school.
00:52:45So I grew up being bullied, being picked on,
00:52:48not feeling like I 100% always belong.
00:52:50And so I carry a lot of imposter syndrome,
00:52:53and that's like the fear that's kind of bubbling up inside of me.
00:52:56What if I'm the first person that they all,
00:52:58when I'm gone, are like, we gotta get rid of Steven.
00:53:02And, uh, that's really tough.
00:53:05How are we gonna decide if we have to vote someone out?
00:53:07Like, who would we even do?
00:53:08It's too early to pick.
00:53:09Yeah.
00:53:10Let's just make sure it's not me or you.
00:53:12Exactly.
00:53:13I'm gonna be honest.
00:53:14There's a part of me that's still back in that high school
00:53:17feeling like I don't belong.
00:53:19I just wanna feel accepted.
00:53:28I'm bad with this, so I probably just screwed it up.
00:53:31Thank you, sweetheart.
00:53:32Thank you, sweetheart.
00:53:33As a dude, you know when another dude looks at you in the eyes,
00:53:37and you're like, it's a bromance.
00:53:39My man!
00:53:41Alex, it reminds me of me, just a half-black me
00:53:44that lives in the States, right?
00:53:46Looks good.
00:53:46Big flower guy.
00:53:48Big flower guy.
00:53:49Wanna get some water, bro?
00:53:50Yeah.
00:53:50Sweet.
00:53:51Let's go, babe.
00:53:53We get along so good in a non-sexual way.
00:53:58I don't know why I'm doing this.
00:54:00We're not doing that.
00:54:01We're good.
00:54:02We're just two dudes just chilling.
00:54:05Whenever you see two gay couples, they always kind of look like each other.
00:54:08Oh!
00:54:09Yeah.
00:54:09Like, the bears stay together.
00:54:11Then you have, like, clean cut.
00:54:13Then you have, like, your muscle jocks.
00:54:16Right now, me, Alex, and Jake have a really strong three.
00:54:20But Jake and Alex are having this bromance.
00:54:22And honestly, I'm getting kind of jealous.
00:54:24I don't like it.
00:54:25It's the Latina in me, you know?
00:54:27You tell me I'm your number one.
00:54:29I don't want to see you go flirt with somebody else.
00:54:32How are you doing, by the way?
00:54:33Good.
00:54:34I'm just, like, this is, like, adding, like, a layer of anxiety to the game that, like,
00:54:39feels scary.
00:54:40I'm talking about Alex and Jake.
00:54:42I connected with Sophie on day one.
00:54:45And I already know that Jake and Alex are together.
00:54:48Like, let's face it.
00:54:50Like, they're like the alpha male.
00:54:51Like, they're bros.
00:54:52They're super strong.
00:54:54Two straight guys.
00:54:55They're athletic.
00:54:56They just have so much in common.
00:54:58But it does not scare me for alpha males to work together.
00:55:02In fact, I actually want to work with those alpha males because they're shielding me and
00:55:06they're never going to see me as a threat.
00:55:08Even though I am a threat.
00:55:10They just don't know it yet.
00:55:12Would anyone ever suspect that you'd be aligning with a gay guy?
00:55:15Like, I feel like...
00:55:16No, buddy. I'm good with it.
00:55:17It's not even because you're gay.
00:55:18No, no, no.
00:55:18Just think of, like, would people suspect that we were, like...
00:55:21No.
00:55:22So then...
00:55:22Do you want to do, like, a secret?
00:55:24Or do we want to come up with, like, strong four?
00:55:27Yeah, so I'm going to pull...
00:55:29Me and Alex.
00:55:30Of course.
00:55:30It's your romance.
00:55:31Okay, okay.
00:55:31Right away.
00:55:32I'm telling you that right now.
00:55:33I'm more than...
00:55:34I'm going to work on...
00:55:36Sophie, I think?
00:55:37Okay.
00:55:38I want Sophie too.
00:55:39Yeah.
00:55:39Okay, you want to do that?
00:55:40Yeah.
00:55:41Okay, I'll talk to Alex.
00:55:42He'll be fine with it.
00:55:43Okay.
00:55:43He'll be fine with it.
00:55:44Keep that under wraps.
00:55:45Okay.
00:55:45Back at home in Canada, Jake and I would never cross paths.
00:55:50And, like, I would be so fearful of him at the gym.
00:55:53But, like, out here, I have connected with Jake strategically.
00:55:56At the moment, there's four of us coming together.
00:56:01Alex, Jake, Sophie, and I.
00:56:04Jake approached me and I said to him, should we do, like, a four?
00:56:08And he's just like, yeah, get Sophie.
00:56:09So, who's the fourth?
00:56:11Me, you, and Jake, and Alex.
00:56:14Oh, and Alex too.
00:56:15Are you good with Alex?
00:56:16Yeah.
00:56:18We're going to be number ones for each other.
00:56:20We have to tell each other everything.
00:56:21I just told you.
00:56:22No, I know.
00:56:31Did you get the Rad Dad socks specifically for this?
00:56:33My wife got them on me.
00:56:35Aww.
00:56:36I love that.
00:56:38So, before I left, my wife wanted to give me a special pair of socks to wear on the island.
00:56:42And they happened to say Rad Dad.
00:56:44But when my tribe called me Dad for the first time, the only thing I saw was a big flashing
00:56:49red alert.
00:56:50That you are older than these people and they know it.
00:56:53We should try to get coconuts and maybe a couple papaya.
00:56:56Yeah, 100%.
00:56:56And get some calories.
00:56:57You're a total Rad Dad.
00:56:59But I don't want to be on the outs in this tribe.
00:57:01And I got to figure out how to build relationships with people who aren't going to gravitate towards me naturally.
00:57:06Especially knowing I'm already the oldest person here.
00:57:10Nate, how are you feeling about everything?
00:57:12I'm feeling pretty good.
00:57:13How are you feeling?
00:57:13Good.
00:57:14Is there anything like in particular on your mind?
00:57:17The rubber is going to hit the road at some point.
00:57:19Seriously.
00:57:20It sucks because I do like everybody, but at some point we got to go.
00:57:23Okay, but who do you want to go into battle with?
00:57:25Yeah.
00:57:26As a producer who's made movies in the superhero genre, I've seen teams being formed.
00:57:30And those best teams are the teams that bring different things to the table.
00:57:34You don't want two Captain Americas in the same team.
00:57:36You want Captain America and Iron Man because they're going to do things that complement each other.
00:57:40And that's a little bit how I'm looking at this game.
00:57:42I know that you're thinking about the game too.
00:57:44Yeah.
00:57:44And I would want to work with you real forward.
00:57:46Have you been able to gauge anyone else's?
00:57:48I think Shannon's a good energy.
00:57:50I think we will.
00:57:51100%.
00:57:51And we're going to need that.
00:57:52Yeah.
00:57:53And we will.
00:57:53I think Rizzo's very strong.
00:57:55I think he's stronger than he thinks he is.
00:57:56I agree 100%.
00:57:57That would be the four that I would say we have to keep.
00:58:01I love that.
00:58:01Nay says me, Shannon, and Rizzo.
00:58:03And for me, that is music to my ears.
00:58:05I don't want to jinx anything, but I genuinely feel like me and Shannon are going to be making the
00:58:10decision
00:58:11about who is the fourth person that we need in order to have majority in this drive.
00:58:20Did you practice fire before coming here?
00:58:22Yeah.
00:58:29Back home, I made fire for the past year and a half practicing for this moment.
00:58:34And I just want to show my squad that, like, I got them.
00:58:39So I start striking and striking.
00:58:41There you go.
00:58:42Go.
00:58:48But nothing is catching the flame.
00:58:53Being the oldest of five kids growing up in a single parent household, I'm so used to being someone that
00:58:59provides.
00:59:00And out here on the island, I'm having trouble doing it.
00:59:05It's just frustrating letting people down.
00:59:12Joanne starts to kind of lose it a little bit.
00:59:15I see this frustration, and I'm like, okay, this is feeling a little bit extreme for just starting a fire.
00:59:24That's extremely concerning to me if I'm looking at you who could be someone who I want to align with.
00:59:29Now, I am starting to feel pretty good towards Nate.
00:59:32Joanne trying to make fire, two words, red flag.
00:59:57Come on in!
00:59:58Come on in!
01:00:17I don't know, Alex, I didn't hear anything from Kella or Uli when you walked in.
01:00:21Hey, it's gonna be all on the court.
01:00:23Okay.
01:00:23We're not worried.
01:00:24Okay.
01:00:28All right, are you ready to get to your first community challenge?
01:00:34All right, here's how it works.
01:00:36On my go, one pair from each tribe will first navigate a rope tunnel and crawl through a muddy pit.
01:00:42You'll then race into the jungle to retrieve a spectacular survivor serpent.
01:00:48Then you bring it back, then the next pair goes.
01:00:50Once you have all three serpents, three players must work together to navigate a ball and maneuver it along a
01:00:58winding snake track.
01:01:00First two tribes to finish.
01:01:02Win immunity.
01:01:04This is what you covet in this game right here.
01:01:07The immunity items.
01:01:12In addition, you're playing for a reward.
01:01:14Want to know what you're playing for?
01:01:15What?
01:01:16What are we playing for?
01:01:17First tribe to finish.
01:01:19This should help with shelter.
01:01:23A massive survivor toolkit.
01:01:27Second tribe to finish.
01:01:28Smaller, but will make a difference.
01:01:34Last tribe to finish.
01:01:36Tribal council.
01:01:37Tonight, where somebody will be the first person voted out of Survivor 49.
01:01:43And as a penalty for losing, I will keep your flint.
01:01:45Kellett, you are still working to earn yours.
01:01:48Yep.
01:01:48All right, give the men to strategize.
01:01:50We'll get it on.
01:01:50Here we go.
01:01:51All right, let's go.
01:01:52All right, let's go.
01:01:55All right, let's go.
01:01:57All right, let's go.
01:02:00All right, let's go.
01:02:00Here we go.
01:02:02For immunity and reward.
01:02:04Survivors ready.
01:02:07Go.
01:02:08All right.
01:02:10Jake and Annie, Rizzo and Sage, Sophie and Matt, burst through the rope tunnel.
01:02:17I think you're good.
01:02:18You're good.
01:02:18Come on.
01:02:18Out.
01:02:19Oh, Annie, you got it.
01:02:20You got it.
01:02:20Okay.
01:02:21You're good.
01:02:22You're good.
01:02:24Everybody through the mud now.
01:02:27Jake coming out first for Kella.
01:02:29Here comes Annie.
01:02:30Let's go, get it.
01:02:31Go, go, go.
01:02:32Gotta wait on everybody.
01:02:33You're good.
01:02:34Go.
01:02:34Sophie and Matt into the jungle.
01:02:36Annie through.
01:02:37You're good, Kella.
01:02:38You're good, Rizzo.
01:02:39Go.
01:02:46Matt heading up first for Hina.
01:02:49It's gonna be Rizzo going up for Uli.
01:02:53Jake for Kella.
01:02:55You gotta free that 200 pound serpent and get it back.
01:02:59Hina has their serpent.
01:03:04Hina out first.
01:03:06Where are you so quick?
01:03:08Hina, Hina, Hina.
01:03:10Hina working through now on their way back with that serpent.
01:03:13You got it, you got it.
01:03:14You gotta go back through that rope tunnel.
01:03:16Guys!
01:03:17Here comes Jake and Annie.
01:03:20Whoo!
01:03:21Here comes Uli.
01:03:23Hey, got it!
01:03:24Hold on.
01:03:25Get it in there.
01:03:26You're good!
01:03:27Go, go, go!
01:03:28We got it.
01:03:29It's standing adjacent now.
01:03:31You got it!
01:03:32Go, y'all, go, go.
01:03:33Jake and Annie, for Kella.
01:03:35Jake doing all the work.
01:03:37Come here!
01:03:38Hey!
01:03:47It's the tail end, let's go!
01:03:50It's the middle.
01:03:51It's the middle end!
01:03:52You're good!
01:03:53Go, Keller!
01:03:54It is Nicole and Jeremiah.
01:03:58Untangle it, I think it gives us a lot of slack, right?
01:04:01Sage and Rizzo, this is taking forever to get back!
01:04:05You're good, you're good.
01:04:06Guys, let's go!
01:04:07You're doing so good, guys, let's go!
01:04:08You're good!
01:04:09Get out there, Uli!
01:04:11It's Nate and Savannah!
01:04:15Let's go, you gotta get back in this!
01:04:18Okay, yeah, he's in.
01:04:20You got it, you got it!
01:04:21Jason and Steven have done a nice job for Hina,
01:04:24keeping them in the lead.
01:04:26You're good, go Hina!
01:04:28Christina and MC now, the last pair out for Hina.
01:04:32You got it!
01:04:33It is Nicole and Jeremiah blowing down now.
01:04:36They're hung up in that rope!
01:04:38Push it through here!
01:04:40Oh, God!
01:04:41I hope Red isn't making up for that.
01:04:45Savannah and Nate have passed Keller.
01:04:48Let's go!
01:04:49Let's go!
01:04:50A stupendous effort with a behemoth serpent
01:04:53to get them back in this!
01:04:56Here comes Jeremiah and Nicole.
01:04:59They have blown the little lead they had.
01:05:01Pull, pull, pull, pull, pull, pull, pull!
01:05:03Savannah and Nate have made up a ton of time!
01:05:07Drop it!
01:05:08Good, go!
01:05:10Shannon and Juwan now out on the course.
01:05:12Through the rope tunnel,
01:05:14Jeremiah and Nicole are still struggling.
01:05:17Everyone has...
01:05:18This is Survivor!
01:05:19If you want a picnic, go to a park!
01:05:22Let's go!
01:05:23Pull it up!
01:05:30You got to get it in its cradle!
01:05:36Yeah, you're good!
01:05:37Sophie, Alex onto the course!
01:05:39We need wire!
01:05:40We need food!
01:05:40Tell us in dead loud!
01:05:42Go, guys!
01:05:42Come on!
01:05:42Make up!
01:05:44Come on!
01:05:44Let's go, Christina!
01:05:46You've got this, FC!
01:05:47Jake, Jake!
01:05:48I'm going to put some mud under your eyes.
01:05:51I'm about to throw.
01:05:53Okay?
01:05:54Oh, yeah.
01:05:55You're going out.
01:05:56You go.
01:05:56You go ahead.
01:05:57MC and Christina are blistering this course up.
01:06:01With that third and final serpent for Hina.
01:06:05You got it.
01:06:05You got it.
01:06:07Good, Hina!
01:06:09On to the next stage!
01:06:10I'm tired.
01:06:12Juwan and Shannon have it for Uli.
01:06:16Hina now on the snake track.
01:06:18You got to maneuver that ball through the obstacles with three ropes.
01:06:22I'm going to keep it slow and steady.
01:06:25I'm just going to say left or right.
01:06:26Okay.
01:06:27Sophie, guiding Matt and guiding Jason.
01:06:29Left.
01:06:30Okay, stop.
01:06:31Let's go, Kella!
01:06:32Let's go!
01:06:33Here comes Kella.
01:06:34Here comes Uli with that third and final serpent.
01:06:38You're good!
01:06:38Let's go!
01:06:40Uli can start on the maze.
01:06:43Kella still waiting on their last pair to get back.
01:06:46Once again, Kella dead last.
01:06:48The challenge.
01:06:49Go, go, go, go.
01:06:50All right.
01:06:51Uli in on it.
01:06:52We've got Sage, Nate, and Rizzo for Uli.
01:06:55Okay, so let's go right.
01:06:57We're looking for two.
01:06:59Two tribes will be safe.
01:07:02Come on.
01:07:02Hina drops.
01:07:03Loses all that progress.
01:07:06You're good!
01:07:06All right.
01:07:07Get up.
01:07:08Kella, now you're in it.
01:07:09Everybody is now on the snake track.
01:07:12You've got to maneuver that ball through the obstacles.
01:07:14Here we go.
01:07:15All right, Nicky.
01:07:16Come on.
01:07:17All right, good start.
01:07:19Let's pull up towards your top left.
01:07:21The question is, which group of strangers can communicate together the best?
01:07:26Okay, okay.
01:07:27All good, guys.
01:07:28Are we in sync?
01:07:29Take your treadmill.
01:07:30Go really slow.
01:07:31Real slow.
01:07:31Real slow.
01:07:32This is about touch, patience, and listening.
01:07:35Go forward.
01:07:35We need a little more glass on the left.
01:07:37So if you're doing a really nice job for Hina, they are past the halfway point.
01:07:41Actually, left, right.
01:07:42Left, right.
01:07:43Be very gentle.
01:07:45Okay.
01:07:46So you have to pull, and I'm going to let up.
01:07:47You got it.
01:07:48All right.
01:07:49Yeah!
01:07:51Nice move by Kella.
01:07:53Kella was dead last.
01:07:55You're back in this, Kella.
01:07:57We are tied right now with Kella and Hina.
01:07:59I'm telling you, I got you.
01:08:00Both past the halfway point.
01:08:02What do you guys want to be?
01:08:03All right.
01:08:04We are literally at the same spot on the snake track.
01:08:08Stop.
01:08:09Let me go forward.
01:08:09But Uli is gaining.
01:08:12Y'all keep doing what you're doing.
01:08:14They are figuring this out.
01:08:15Can you pull left?
01:08:17Can you reach out to the left?
01:08:18Oh, you mean like that?
01:08:19Yes.
01:08:20Ball obstacle for Hina.
01:08:22Got to get around that ball drop.
01:08:24Okay.
01:08:25And they did.
01:08:26Nice job.
01:08:27Hina in the lead.
01:08:28Then Kella.
01:08:28Stop, stop, stop.
01:08:29Then Uli.
01:08:38Hina is as close as they have been to victory.
01:08:41They've got one ball drop left to avoid.
01:08:44Immunity is theirs.
01:08:47And they're past it.
01:08:49Okay, below to the right.
01:08:50Below to the right back.
01:08:51And for the victory.
01:08:53Forward, forward, forward.
01:08:55There he is.
01:08:56Hina wins immunity.
01:08:58Safe from tribal council.
01:09:00We're looking for one more.
01:09:03It is now Uli in the lead for that second spot.
01:09:06I, then Kella.
01:09:08What do you think?
01:09:09I don't have any more.
01:09:09I don't want you to know what you mean.
01:09:10Pull it.
01:09:11Pull it as tall as you can.
01:09:12This is a tall as you can.
01:09:13A lot of communication frustration from Nicole and Annie.
01:09:17When you put yourself in this position, being the caller,
01:09:21you are either saying, I'm going to win it for us,
01:09:24or I'm part of the reason we lost.
01:09:26Anyway, guys.
01:09:27I'm going to pull it.
01:09:28Guys, he's right.
01:09:28I'm going to leave her.
01:09:30Just like that, Kella drops.
01:09:34Uli is very close to winning this immunity challenge.
01:09:39Past this ball drop, and you are home free.
01:09:42And they are past the ball drop.
01:09:44And here it is.
01:09:46For immunity.
01:09:49Let's go.
01:09:50Uli is safe.
01:09:51No tribal council tonight.
01:09:54Sending Kella to tribal council,
01:09:56where one of the six will be the first person
01:10:00voted out of Survivor 49.
01:10:02It's been a rough three days for Kella.
01:10:09Ina, congratulations.
01:10:12Immunity win is yours.
01:10:15Uli, immunity is yours as well.
01:10:20Nobody going home from Uli.
01:10:23All right, Kella, tonight, tribal council,
01:10:26somebody will be the first person voted out Survivor 49.
01:10:30And as a penalty for losing,
01:10:31I will continue to keep your flint.
01:10:33You'll have a shot to earn it back
01:10:34at the next immunity challenge.
01:10:36Grab her stuff, head out.
01:10:37See you tonight.
01:10:37Thank you, sir.
01:10:38Our tribe hasn't won anything.
01:10:40There's a reason why we're losing,
01:10:41and it seems like it's because of either Annie or Nicole.
01:10:45Both of them did terrible.
01:10:47And I'm just trying to pick my poison here.
01:10:49Which one is worse?
01:10:50Because we do not want to lose again.
01:11:15Like, cry out for a moment.
01:11:21After the loss of the challenge today,
01:11:23it was a little bit awkward
01:11:24because, like, we're all looking at each other
01:11:26and we're kind of obsessing out, like,
01:11:28who's going to be the first person
01:11:30to, like, name somebody
01:11:32or pull off into, like, a different group
01:11:33to start strategizing.
01:11:35We all know that we have to go to tribal tonight
01:11:37and to have to send somebody home first,
01:11:40there's just, like, a knot in my stomach.
01:11:42Just got real.
01:11:43Yeah, do what you need to do, guys.
01:11:45Game plan coming back is
01:11:47we got to get rid of the weak.
01:11:48We have to be a better team.
01:11:50We have to start winning challenges,
01:11:51and I have to write down
01:11:52a weak player's name tonight.
01:11:53They both know they're at the bottom.
01:11:55Like, they have to.
01:11:56I'm leading towards one way.
01:11:58They are leading towards Nicole.
01:12:00We want to win games.
01:12:03I think we have a better chance than the Panthers.
01:12:04Yes.
01:12:05So I have Sophie, I have Alex, I have Jeremiah,
01:12:07and we decide that it's Nicole's turn to go tonight
01:12:10because if we get rid of Nicole,
01:12:12you know, we're going to get rid of someone
01:12:13who does try hard.
01:12:14But she just couldn't figure out the puzzle.
01:12:16And she is just kind of slowing us down
01:12:18when it comes to her physical abilities
01:12:19for running and athleticism and cardio
01:12:21and stuff like that.
01:12:22So getting rid of her
01:12:23is going to make her team a lot stronger.
01:12:25So how do we make sure Nicole feels comfortable?
01:12:28Okay.
01:12:28How do we do that?
01:12:29Today's the day.
01:12:30This is Nicole's day, buddy.
01:12:31We got to keep telling her that she's good.
01:12:33Give her little fist pumps
01:12:34every time you see her, right?
01:12:35No, I know.
01:12:38Honestly, the plan is to get Annie out.
01:12:40Okay.
01:12:41And so we just have to...
01:12:43You're not messing with me.
01:12:43No, no.
01:12:44I mean, it's like she's just bringing us down.
01:12:46I agree.
01:12:47I don't want to, like,
01:12:48no one wants to be the first one going home.
01:12:49No.
01:12:49I mean, no.
01:12:50Of course not.
01:12:53As a money laundering investigator,
01:12:55my job is to pick up on suspicious activities
01:12:59and red flags that are indicative
01:13:01of suspicious activity.
01:13:02My vote is for Annie.
01:13:04I won't forget how strong you are
01:13:06with, like, the puzzles.
01:13:07Yeah, but, like, I botched that completely.
01:13:09It didn't happen.
01:13:10You are so strong.
01:13:11Like, you are muscles.
01:13:12I appreciate you saying that.
01:13:13You are muscles.
01:13:14I'm looking for if someone's statement
01:13:16doesn't check out with what I just heard
01:13:18from the person I talked to prior.
01:13:19I was trying so hard on that puzzle.
01:13:21I know.
01:13:22It was super obvious, too.
01:13:24You're not...
01:13:25I mean...
01:13:26Dude, I'm not...
01:13:27Dude, I don't know you.
01:13:28I just met...
01:13:29I'm trying to figure out
01:13:30who is telling the truth and who isn't.
01:13:32If they're not telling me the truth,
01:13:34then I'm the one that's going home.
01:13:35I'm looking for
01:13:36why are they not making eye contact with me?
01:13:41If I get any indication at all
01:13:44that they are insinuating a vote on me,
01:13:47I'm playing that shot in the dark.
01:13:48No questions asked.
01:13:49So it's nerve-wracking.
01:13:50It's unnerving.
01:13:51I'm going to be sick.
01:13:53It's absolutely terrifying.
01:13:55Yeah, I think I'm going to...
01:13:56Yeah?
01:13:57Oh!
01:13:58Are you okay?
01:14:00Let's go.
01:14:01Let's go over here.
01:14:08Sorry.
01:14:09Want me to bring your water?
01:14:11Yes.
01:14:12Please, thank you.
01:14:13Personally, I love Nicole.
01:14:15I think she's great.
01:14:16I genuinely think we'd be friends outside of here.
01:14:18Whereas Annie, she's cool,
01:14:20but she's not talking to anybody.
01:14:21She's isolating herself a lot.
01:14:23But the overall consensus is Nicole's vote.
01:14:27Hey, can we just talk to Nick?
01:14:28Yeah.
01:14:28We told her that the vote's on you tonight.
01:14:30Oh, God.
01:14:31Okay.
01:14:32Okay.
01:14:32What she does in your room is there's five.
01:14:35Yeah.
01:14:35Yeah.
01:14:36Okay.
01:14:36We're all with you.
01:14:37I know.
01:14:37I'm not worried about that.
01:14:38We're worried about, like, strength,
01:14:40and, like, she can't compete in the competitions, you know?
01:14:43Yeah.
01:14:43Tonight, the plan is to vote out Nicole and use me as a decoy.
01:14:48But my personal mindset, let's say we vote Nicole off and everything goes fine and all is well,
01:14:53and we lose again tomorrow.
01:14:55Where does that put me?
01:14:56Yeah, come on, principal.
01:14:57So I need to make sure that my name doesn't end up at the next tribal council on that piece
01:15:03of paper.
01:15:04We're easy to pick off.
01:15:05We're the girls.
01:15:06We are easy to pick off.
01:15:07I know.
01:15:07We might be the ones in conversation next.
01:15:09If it was the three, if it was you, me, and Jeremiah, and we picked off one of those boys,
01:15:13then we're down to four.
01:15:14The merge is happening soon after that.
01:15:16If we got to that point, where would your head be?
01:15:19I don't know.
01:15:20Annie came up to me and said that after tonight, she wants to get Jake or Alex out and team
01:15:25up with me and Jeremiah.
01:15:26And so I had to go along with it.
01:15:28And then Nick goes home, and then we get Jeremiah, and yeah, this is good.
01:15:32But I'm surprised because I thought she wasn't playing the game.
01:15:36But it kind of opened my eyes today that she is.
01:15:38So Annie comes up to me and she goes, me, him, and her can make a three against you two.
01:15:43She thinks that's smart before we merge.
01:15:45Why?
01:15:46Whoa.
01:15:46Time to go, baby.
01:15:48I know, I know.
01:15:48Time to go.
01:15:49Sophie is crazy, though.
01:15:51I thought she wasn't thinking at all, but she is.
01:15:53No, she's really thinking deep.
01:15:55To Sophie, Annie's pitch is let's stick together and eventually get out some of these bigger targets like me and
01:16:02Jake.
01:16:03That really concerns me about Annie right now.
01:16:05All right, let's just play the devil's advocate.
01:16:07Like, if we all throw all our votes on Danny tonight.
01:16:09Yeah.
01:16:10Kind of crazy because I thought Annie was most closely aligned with me.
01:16:14But with Annie throwing my name around, I really don't know if I can trust her.
01:16:20And so, honestly, I think it could be very possible I have to vote her out.
01:16:25Vote for Annie.
01:16:26Wait, hold on.
01:16:27Now I'm getting like, is that crazy?
01:16:29Like, are we just going to give it all up with her?
01:16:31This should be so simple.
01:16:33We should be able to just go in strong and vote out Nicole and be done and be back at
01:16:38camp tonight.
01:16:38But I don't know at this point who goes home, Annie or Nicole, who is going to help us get
01:16:45the victory that we need and make sure that moving forward, they stay true to us.
01:16:49So, you better believe that I'm taking tonight's tribal council extremely seriously.
01:17:17Wow.
01:17:20Wow.
01:17:21Wow.
01:17:23Wow.
01:17:28Behind each of you is a torch, go ahead and grab a torch, dip it in the fire and get
01:17:33flame.
01:17:38This is part of the ritual of Tribal Council because in this game, fire represents your
01:17:44life and when your fire is gone, so are you.
01:17:46That will be the case for one of the six of you tonight.
01:17:51Wow.
01:17:55Jeremiah, your legs are shaking.
01:17:57Are you cold or nervous or excited?
01:17:59What is it?
01:18:00Jeff, I feel like I've been living in this dream for the past 48 hours, but it's now a nightmare.
01:18:06For a super fan and being at Tribal, the 14-year-old boy right now is literally in awe and
01:18:12just
01:18:13can't believe that I'm actually here.
01:18:15And what is the adult version of you thinking?
01:18:19I just want to be that 14-year-old boy.
01:18:22Okay.
01:18:24So let's get into these first few days.
01:18:27Jake, you start this game with strangers.
01:18:30You don't know if anything they're going to tell you about themselves is even the truth,
01:18:34but you immediately head off into a jungle and begin to build your life.
01:18:37What is that like?
01:18:39It's an absolute crazy concept, Jeff.
01:18:41And you're right.
01:18:42We are strangers.
01:18:43But we turn into a family instantly when we get to the island.
01:18:46And it's working for us.
01:18:47We absolutely love each other.
01:18:48Eh.
01:18:49Eh.
01:18:51We'll get into that.
01:18:53So, Sophie, is it just human nature to say, okay, this is literally my tribe.
01:18:58I must make this work.
01:18:59Yeah.
01:19:00And actually getting to the camp for the first time kind of felt like this weird speed dating
01:19:05situation.
01:19:06Like, you're trying to find these connections with everybody.
01:19:08But you never know.
01:19:09It's survivors.
01:19:10So you might think you're somebody's number one and you're working with people, but you're
01:19:13actually just their side chick.
01:19:14And I've been there, done that, Jeff.
01:19:17I'm not interested here.
01:19:18So I'm trying my best to really rely on those people that I feel like I did connect with.
01:19:22But there are people who have those closer connections than others, and someone has to
01:19:26go tonight.
01:19:26And I'm just hoping that that's not me.
01:19:30Nicole, one thing that typically happens when you have a new group is people take on roles.
01:19:35Sophie clearly can bring a sense of humor.
01:19:38Did you notice that happening?
01:19:40100%.
01:19:40So you have, like, Mr. Happy-Go-Lucky.
01:19:43He's just, like, good vibes.
01:19:44Just, like, a nice person.
01:19:46You want him there.
01:19:47You have Thor, slash, Dad.
01:19:50And then you have Rockstar, Glitter Glam, I'm Gonna Build a Shelter in, like, 10 minutes.
01:19:56Wow.
01:19:56You have Pool Service by Jay, who does your laundry, who brings you food by the beach.
01:20:03And Pobrecita, who is, like, our Latina mom, so.
01:20:09Jake, Nicole just gave her assessment of everybody's role.
01:20:12Now, what is her role?
01:20:14She's a hard worker.
01:20:15She's a friendly person.
01:20:16And she's always giving her best.
01:20:18And that's what we love about Nicole.
01:20:21Honored.
01:20:22Thanks, Jake.
01:20:23You're welcome.
01:20:23Thanks for calling me Thor.
01:20:24I appreciate it.
01:20:25I wanted to thank you, too, Jeff, for putting the two most contagious laughs together on one
01:20:29tribe.
01:20:30Literally.
01:20:30Like, what?
01:20:33When they get going, Jess, I'm pretty sure North Queensland Australia can do it, so.
01:20:38This is a sound machine.
01:20:40So it's a mess.
01:20:41It's a mess.
01:20:44Wow.
01:20:44Now, if you've never watched Survivor and you dropped in right there, you would never
01:20:50know you were about to vote somebody out of this game.
01:20:52100%.
01:20:52Yeah.
01:20:53100%.
01:20:54Yeah.
01:20:54So, Sophie, what is that about?
01:20:56Because as a tribe, you're 0 for 3, rough start.
01:21:00Yeah.
01:21:00I mean, we're on a boat right now that has a leak in here, too.
01:21:04Look at this.
01:21:05But, and, you know.
01:21:06Well, let's be clear.
01:21:07This is not a leak.
01:21:08This is about crash.
01:21:11Shipwreck.
01:21:11Shipwreck.
01:21:12This is where you're heading if you don't plug your leak.
01:21:16Yeah.
01:21:16There's no way to sail away to the end of this game with that leak.
01:21:20And hopefully, today, we can patch that up and come out with a win in the next challenge.
01:21:25Jeremiah, what is the criteria for tonight's boat?
01:21:28Our biggest focus is we don't want to lose again.
01:21:32And we need to be strong.
01:21:34And we've agreed to vote out the weakest player.
01:21:36And so, how do you compare two weaknesses amongst two people?
01:21:42And, like, how do you determine which one is weaker than the other?
01:21:46So, you're saying that you've got it down to two people?
01:21:51Yes.
01:21:53And the person who is going to be voted out, they have no idea because they also think that they're
01:21:57part of the majority.
01:22:00So, Jake, what do you make about what's happening tonight?
01:22:04I do know whose name I'm writing down tonight.
01:22:07Like, we are a tribe, so we've got to get past this point and start winning to get to the
01:22:11merge, then a whole different game starts.
01:22:13Alex, you're shaking your head.
01:22:14Yeah, 100%. I can appreciate that.
01:22:16I think that we're focused on the tribal council right at hand.
01:22:20But this is a long game, Jeff.
01:22:21And so, you need to be thinking about, oh, who at the merge is going to be able to stick
01:22:26with us and stay loyal and be that person that we rely on.
01:22:30And so, yes, we don't want to see you again in the immediate future because we don't want to be
01:22:34back at tribal council.
01:22:35But it's also what's going to get me to the end and what's going to get me sitting at final
01:22:40tribal council.
01:22:45All right, it is time to vote. Nicole, you're up.
01:22:54Yeah.
01:23:34I'll go tally the boats.
01:23:47If anybody has an advantage or an idol and you want to play it, now would be the time
01:23:51to do so.
01:23:59All right, I'll read the boats.
01:24:04First vote, Nicole, Annie, one vote Nicole, one vote Annie, Nicole, two votes Nicole, one
01:24:20vote Annie, Nicole, that's three votes Nicole, one vote Annie.
01:24:27Wow.
01:24:29First person voted out of Survivor 49, Nicole, that's four, that's enough, you need to bring
01:24:34me your torch.
01:24:36Wow.
01:24:54Nicole, the chop's broken.
01:24:57What's up man?
01:24:59Time to go.
01:25:08Grab your torches, head back to camp.
01:25:09Good night.
01:25:35Don't mess with the sheer bandit.
01:25:38Next time on Survivor.
01:25:40This is an interesting turn on day five.
01:25:43I love it.
01:25:44I'm gonna have to go to war with these people.
01:25:46I'm the puppet master.
01:25:49She's a Karen.
01:25:55They got me.
01:25:56They got me.
01:25:57That was a true blind side.
01:25:59So numbers don't lie, but people do is absolutely true.
01:26:01I felt like I was on the right side of the numbers with the majority, but they were good liars.
01:26:07They kicked it into high gear and I just completely missed it.
01:26:10My family is gonna die at this.
01:26:12They're gonna laugh hysterically.
01:26:13I'm about to be the butt of every joke.
01:26:14That's all I have.
