Previously on Australian Survivor...
We are merging!
..with merge came a new game.
Shonee and Fenella stayed close.
Fenella is the only person I trust out here.
But Sharn and Lydia were keeping their options open.
- We've said that from the start. - Likewise, yeah.
The fact that Lydia and Sharn made a deal with Robbie and Benji
has me sort of questioning their loyalty.
In the first individual immunity challenge...
It's the first chance to get a good look at
what your tribe mates are made of.
..Lydia's determination...
..was no longer an asset.
And at Tribal Council...
There's some big threats in this tribe.
I think it's time to make moves.
..Shane showed she's a force to be reckoned with...
- Now's the time. - Now's the time.
- ..blindsiding Lydia... - Oh, guys!
..right out of the game.
You got me good.
11 are left. Who will be going home tonight?
What have you been doing?
Look at the fire I've got going.
- Did you actually get one? - Yeah, look!
Oh, yeah. Nice one.
I just decided to do the fire. That's what I do now.
It's great to have Shonee back.
She's home. She left for a little while.
And we were cruelly ripped apart when we had to tribe swap.
Shonee and I came into this game with the same strategy,
which was we had no strategy.
Oh, wow!
Bloody bonza.
I'm super happy that I made merge
because now I can finally talk to probably the only person
I enjoy talking to out here, and that's Fenella.
We laugh at the same things.
And, yeah, she's my bestie.
- Yay! - Yay!
It's going to be weird going home,
and not having someone say, "Yay" with me.
It's going to be weird hearing only one version of everything.
- Well done, well done. - Well done!
- Yay! - Yay!
Right!
Ooh, yummy!
Why doesn't everyone want to be our friend?
I think we're the most lovable people here.
Absolute hoots!
Fenella and I have a special ability
to find cracks and just float our way to the top.
We've done it before with the Contenders' Tribe,
and we're going to do it here at merge, as well.
Ah, slipped through the cracks once again.
Can't get rid of us.
So, we've merged now,
and Tribal Council was a little bit crazy last night, you know?
Robbie, myself, and Lydia were left on the outs,
and Lydia went home.
I definitely did not see that Lydia vote coming, you know?
I was a little bit shocked when I saw her walk out
because she was part of Mat's alliance.
And seeing Lydia go home puts one thing on my mind,
which means Mat is absolutely running the show here.
And Rob and I are now on the bottom, you know?
We're the only two left out of that vote.
- Yeah? - Yeah.
Yeah.
Exactly.
See how rough that ocean is.
- Mate. - Good morning, mate.
- What's up, big dog? - How are you?
A few people...
It's early.
I don't buy that for a second.
I have heard Mat was directing every single person
to write down Lydia's name.
And he's running the show out here.
Alright, cool, man.
Yeah, cool.
So, in the future, you can just give a heads-up and I'll...
Cheers, bro.
I've been waiting for this merge.
I've been waiting every single day
to join up with these Champions
and actually take them down one by one.
They don't know what's coming to them.
If you get Mat's trust out here,
you can definitely take some power away from him
because he's gonna stop watching you 24/7.
And that gives you the freedom to do whatever you want.
That ain't gonna happen, though.
No.
The merge, to me, means, like, game on.
I'm going to paint myself a Survivor masterpiece out here.
Step one is to get all the right colours and paints together
and mix up my palette, you know?
That's social relationships.
I may not have the numbers right now, but I will get them,
and then use that to paint myself just a beautiful masterpiece.
So, I want to talk to Miss Universe, Monika.
I'm an experienced paw patroller.
Ooh! She's good-looking. She's bubbly. She's fun.
She's super-positive.
Alright, tree-ripe pawpaws.
- Shake this baby. - Yep.
I'm sort of stringing her along for now.
OK!
- Yes! - So that she likes me,
and then is going to trust me.
They're really good.
I want to make sure that the opportunity to work with Monika
is going to always be there.
I, like... obviously I don't have
many connections over here and everything.
But I feel like whatever you want to do,
- I want to do, as well. - Yeah.
- Because I want to play with you. - Yeah.
- I really want to work with you. - Me, too.
So, I want to, like, show you that because I can tell you that.
But everyone says things. I trust you.
So, like we should just be like 100% honest between me and you,
and we can make some... we can do some big stuff.
Well, neither do I.
Secret pawpaw alliance!
I need to keep strengthening these social relationships.
You know? I need to keep my eyes on the threats,
and really strengthen the people who I know that I have trust in
and have trust in me.
The social game is key out here,
and I can get myself to the end
by just making the right connections with the right people.
Last night at Tribal Council,
Lydia was voted out from our tribe.
I was told at the last minute, and I'm not happy with it.
I was thinking, "OK, what does this mean for the alliance?"
So, I thought,
"OK, I don't want to put all my eggs in one basket, you know?"
If something happens with Mat and Steve,
I've got to have a back-up plan.
And Benji is my back-up plan.
OK, so, what's happening?
- All the way. - 100% all the way?
- 100% all the way. - OK. Alright.
I got your back.
I'll go this way.
And I'll go this way and get changed. OK. Alright.
Good luck today.
As a criminal barrister, you need to be able to communicate well.
And at this stage in the game,
I've got great relationships with everyone in my tribe.
Genuine relationships. I'm really well liked.
And I think I can work that to my benefit.
And that will help me, obviously,
move further in the game.
Whatever the next immunity challenge is...
..and whomever wins that...
..um...
- Do you think? - Oh, 100%.
..exposed vulnerabilities.
See what it's done? People... "I want to work with you,"
because they realise there's no numbers now.
They realise the numbers are stacked the other way.
Yeah, I think there's a feeling of that. It's like...
Good timing.
- I gave you a minute, so... - Yeah.
Who's more of an influencer, Robbie or Benji?
Maybe Benji?
Robbie. Although, Robbie's very charismatic.
- So maybe... - Yeah.
Benji's a bit quieter, you know?
- I find Robbie very emotional. - Yeah.
- And reactive, you know? - Oh.
He even said, he even said last night,
"I'm just happy to make it through Council."
I think I'm in a comfortable position at the moment
because I am aligned with Benji and Mat and Steve.
So I'm playing both sides.
And I think that's important in the game of Survivor.
We got some mail!
- We never get mail! - Whoo!
Alright.
"You must choose one person to make a decision for the tribe.
"Whoever you select should go alone
"up to the garden path
"where the decision is waiting.
"Who do you trust to make the right choice for the group?"
Sharn!
That was like, "Oh, damn!"
This is something I didn't necessarily want to do.
I don't want to give myself any more attention
than what I got today.
But it's coming to me.
Sharn, you can do it. You can do it!
OK. I'm going to do whatever I think is best...
- You are! We know! - ..for everyone.
You can do it, though. We trust you.
Come back soon!
"This is a moral dilemma. You have a choice to make.
"You can choose either to take back
a large bag of vegetables to your tribe,
"or you can take the smaller bag of vegetables
"and also a secret advantage for yourself
"at the next immunity challenge.
"Choose wisely."
With this advantage, I'm definitely thinking about
the long term in this game.
I mean, this is an individual game now.
We're not playing, you know, as tribe against tribe.
This could give me the ability to call the shots a bit more.
I'm confused, which is a good thing. I get to make choices.
It gives me options on who I want to work with.
Could be something that's really big.
And I want to win.
It's still vegetables, but it's nothing great.
Yeah, stop it. I'm going to go with the advantage.
Could be a game changer.
"This is a secret advantage at the next immunity challenge.
"The challenge involves holding up a weight.
"With this advantage, your weight will only be 50%
"of what you are required to hold.
"This could be the difference between winning
"and having guaranteed safety in this game,
"or losing and the risk of going home."
OK. Well, that's pretty cool.
I'm super-excited I've got this advantage.
It means I could win that immunity necklace.
Then I'll have some more control and power back in this game.
- I got vegies! - What was it?
- It was a moral dilemma, OK? - OK.
I had a moral dilemma where I had to choose
between vegies for the tribe,
or a plate of choccy bickies with one person.
I knew when I was coming into this,
that I would have to basically make up a lie that would be bought.
- I told you! - I know!
But they weren't Monte Carlos!
So, I just chose the vegies.
- Yeah. Some potatoes, carrot. - Yeah.
Nice.
What bullshit!
Sharn comes back in with this tiny bag of vegetables
and tries to tell us that that was her moral dilemma.
I am not buying it for a second.
She has picked the option that helps her out.
And she obviously got some vegetables
to try and sell that to the tribe.
But she's got something now hidden up her sleeve.
Yeah, I know. When I got down the garden path,
and I saw it, I was like, "Oh, what? Come on."
- Were they Tim Tams? - What are you telling me? Yeah.
Should I have taken the bickies with someone else?
- If it was as you said... - Yeah.
..then no, no-one could have.
- Well, that's what I thought. - That's what confuses me.
Yeah. It was boring, so boring.
It's a bit worrying, you know?
Sharn was part of this alliance of five,
but now she's withholding information from me.
She's not willing to talk to me about what she found.
She's obviously starting to play an individual game.
Or she's still playing the team game, but I'm not in the team.
I sort of want you to be lying to me
- because then... - Me, too!
..you would have chosen like vegetables and something for you
and vegetables and here's another tub of something.
In which case, get something out of it and...
- Yeah, yeah. - I hope it was that.
- Yeah. - But, you know, I...
- It was very lacklustre. Yeah. - Yeah.
- It was a huge disappointment. - Yeah.
Because it would have been fun to have something.
OK.
I'm feeling pretty confident
going into today's immunity challenge.
For my game play at the moment, it is hugely important
to try and protect Benji, and keep the focus off him.
And my advantage will help do that.
So, my plan is that if I can outlast Robbie on that challenge,
so we've got the option of voting him out rather than Benji,
I will do that.
Come on in, guys.
Mat, what was the mood like back at camp after Tribal?
It was good. It was a little sombre.
I mean, Lydia, you know, we grew to love Lydia and...
..you know, she was a part of our tribe for, you know, 30-plus days.
So, it's tough to say goodbye.
But I think, today, we've all woken up in good spirits,
and ready to rock'n'roll.
Robbie, what did last night's vote say about this tribe?
Well, you know, they were hounding on
sort of the Champions stay together, Champions to do this,
Champions vote off the Contenders one by one.
And obviously, last night, it wasn't the case.
So, I guess new alliances are being formed,
and new relationships are sort of growing.
And if anything, it goes to show that anything can happen.
Alright. You guys ready to get to today's immunity challenge?
Sharn, I'm going to have to take that back.
Thank you.
Once again, immunity is back up for grabs.
For today's challenge...
..you will hold up a disc between your palms
that is weighted down with a sandbag.
As time goes on, your arms will tire
until you can no longer hold on.
The last person holding up their disc wins immunity,
safe from the vote.
As for the rest of you, you know the drill.
Someone's going to become the 14th person voted out of this game.
That's it, simple as that.
Let's draw for spots and get started.
Alright, here we go, for immunity.
Everyone grab their disc.
Once you have it, come forward into your position.
Alright. I'm going to count you guys in.
Three, two, one.
This challenge is now on.
It's a very simple challenge.
You need to hold that disc out in front of you.
Each bag is proportional to your body weight.
The heavier you are, the heavier the bag is.
My fault for being a fatty!
Looks easy, but it will quickly become difficult.
Nothing easy about this one.
The disc and the bag cannot touch your body.
Shonee readjusting.
Big readjustment from Fenella. She almost loses it.
Really starting to feel it in your arms and your lower back.
- Oh! - Oh. Just like that,
Monika drops out of the challenge.
- Good work, Mon. - Take a seat on the bench. We're down to 10.
Another readjustment from Shonee.
Shane's starting to struggle now.
Shonee barely hanging in. How much longer can she do this?
I'm trying!
Really trying to stay in.
That disc is slipping through her hands.
Really digging deep.
And that's it. Shonee's out.
Oopsy.
It's starting to slip for Shane now. She's out.
Just like that, Fenella drops out.
Sharn is the last girl standing
in this challenge.
She won yesterday. Can she do it again today?
We are five minutes in.
Readjustment from Steve. Steve starting to struggle now.
Robbie starting to show signs of struggle.
I think I might have the wrong bag.
Really?
It just doesn't feel like there's enough weight in it.
Mat trying to psych out his competition.
Sam is so close to the ground. How much longer can he hold in?
- No! - And that's it. Sam drops out.
Big effort.
You're down to six.
Just like that out of nowhere, Steve drops.
We're down to five.
We are 15 minutes in.
Well done, guys.
All the big boys and Sharn.
- You're going great, Sharn. - Thanks, Matty.
A lot of movement from everyone now.
There's nowhere to hide with this challenge.
Sweat dripping off Mat.
That's how it should be. He's wearing all black.
You want to exert just the right amount of energy to keep that disc up.
If you don't use enough, it'll slip right through your hands.
Oh, Robbie, almost slips!
Good save, Wobbie.
Robbie really starting to struggle now.
Nah! Come on, Jono. Have faith!
Brian trying to find a comfortable position.
- Just like that... - Oh, well done, honey.
- ..Brian drops out. - Well done, Brian.
- Brilliant, brilliant. - We're down to four.
Sharn, Robbie, Mat and Benji.
Hang in there, Matty.
We are 20 minutes in.
This is where the brain takes over before the body gives up.
Your palms are starting to sweat now.
That's going to make it even more difficult.
Benji is in a lot of pain.
- All day, baby! - All day!
All day, ba-by!
Every time Benji readjusts,
that disc just keeps slipping through his hands.
It's a sweaty disc right now.
It is a sweaty disc.
Oh, and that's it.
The disc slips through Benji's hands.
He's out of the challenge. We're down to three.
Mat, Robbie.
And powerhouse Sharn.
Everyone digging deep.
Immunity on the line tonight.
Win this challenge, you are safe.
You will live to see another day.
Sharn starting to show some signs of pain now.
Robbie really shaking now.
But he's got his game face on!
Oh! Big slip from Robbie,
but nice save.
The disc is starting to slip through Mat's hands.
Once that disc gets wet...
..it is almost over.
Way to push, guys, way to push.
Everyone's really having trouble hanging onto that disc.
It requires more pressure now to hold on.
How much longer can these three hold on?
Back to back, Sharn! Back to back!
Robbie getting close to the ground now.
Sharn, a lot of pain.
She's the only one out here who's won individual immunity.
Can she do it again?
Robbie is so close.
Oh, big save! Now we're back in!
This is willpower, right here.
The disc is so hard to grip.
Robbie on the edge there. Oh, and that's it!
Robbie drops out! We're down to two.
Well done, Robbie.
We have a showdown between Sharn and Mat.
Sharn, do you want it? Do you want it?
I'll drop it.
Mat strikes a deal, and he just drops out,
and gives it to Sharn!
Sharn wins individual immunity again!
- Wow! - Well done.
Thanks, honey.
- I'll hug you. - I'm sorry.
Oh, God, I'm so thirsty.
Sharn, come on over.
Back to back!
- You earned it. - Thanks, Jonathan.
Once again, individual immunity is yours.
Incredible effort today. Where did you find the strength?
I just tried to focus as much as I could,
and not pay attention to any distractions.
I thought I was gonna go before those two did.
But just held on. Well, whatever you did, it paid off.
You are safe tonight, cannot be voted out.
As for the rest of you...
..one of you is going to become the 14th person voted out of this game,
and first member of our jury.
You'll have the afternoon to work out who that's going to be.
Grab your gear, head on out. I'll see you guys tonight.
Congrats.
So, tonight, at Tribal Council,
I'm going to have to really work hard
to make sure that Robbie and I are safe tonight.
We're on the bottom, and I'm ready to get back on top.
I'm ready to make that move,
and I'm ready to take that power back.
We got back to camp, and I feel like
we're in a good place as a group.
You know, Sharn holding individual immunity.
As an alliance, we've got the majority numbers.
And I feel like there are others
that'll jump on board and vote with us.
And I think Robbie will go home tonight.
I have the utmost respect for Robbie.
He's a great competitor.
He certainly brought the best out in me
when it came to the physical side of the game.
But Rob is an incredible threat. He's a physical threat.
He's a social threat. He's got it all. He's the full package.
So, you know, when the opportunity presents itself,
you got to strike, and that's now.
Yeah. Yeah.
I'm not stupid, like...
Yeah, but...
You've put my name down...
Like, I'm...
This is all I want to say to you, mate.
This is the hardest part of the game.
I've loved going up against you, and I've loved competing with you.
But at the end of the day, you get rid of threats.
- Yeah. Well, to a degree. - Yeah.
Um...
But...
Man, I just want you to know if tonight goes down,
- and you're not here... - Mm.
..that it's been really cool hanging out with you,
and competing with you, and you bring the best out in me.
And, um...
..I'll tell you...
But it's not gonna all be on person.
Well, I knew it was coming my way, man. Let's be honest.
What I'm going to do is see what I can rally up,
- as you would expect. - Of course.
I'm not going to go down just...
- I expect it. - I'm going to do my thing.
And if I can convince people, I can.
- Stay hard. - I will. I'm not...
Trust me.
- No. - No, man. We're just chatting.
Yeah.
I was just talking. I said I'm not stupid.
I know they're going for me. And he's like, "Yeah."
OK.
And I just said I'm not going to go down like a little bitch
and I'm gonna keep fighting.
Yeah. So with no hardship sort of thing.
But, um, yeah. Appreciate the honesty, man.
- I don't know. It's undecided. - OK.
I had this fire burning in my belly.
It's like this guy is lying to my face.
He's coming after me and Robbie.
But we are on the bottom right now, and Mat has these numbers.
So, we're going to have to do something big to upset this.
- You alright? - Yeah, I'm good.
- You will. You will. - Yeah, I will.
Yeah, you will.
Yeah.
Trying to save Robbie tonight because, you know,
we've been tight since day two.
And not only that, he is a big shield for me, you know?
He's helping me get further and further in this game.
As soon as he's gone, I'm a little bit exposed.
So, I'd love to keep him around tonight
for my individual game personally.
I love you, brother.
So, my next move right now is to make sure that everyone knows
Mat is a huge threat in this game.
He's running the show, and he's going to win it
if we don't get him out within the next few votes.
- This is a tough one, isn't it? - Yeah.
Sharn and I have a really honest, genuine relationship in this game,
which is what you need.
It's tough because I'm close to Robbie.
I think I can convince her that Mat is the big target
we need to get out to blow this game wide open.
Mat is so much more strategic than Robbie.
- He's got so many relationships. - Yeah.
Robbie doesn't have any relationships.
They're all through me.
- If we can flip it onto Mat... - Yeah.
Robbie is so easy to get rid of. Mat's not.
Like next vote, we're down numbers,
and he's going to pick another one of us.
- Yeah. - Probably me.
Right now is, like, such a prime window.
You cut off the head, you cut off Mat,
Steve doesn't do anything, Brian doesn't.
- Yeah. - Let me see if I can flip it.
- OK. - Because I might.
I might be able to do something pretty decent.
Want to bring back some firewood?
Alright.
So, I think Sharn definitely can see
that Mat needs to be the next one to go.
And it's in her best interests, as well.
So, now I'll try and persuade Shonee,
and make sure she's definitely on board
because she controls Fenella's vote.
Um, no. I was thinking, like, try to get...
But I want to keep Rob for a little bit longer.
- For the shield? I'm the same. - Yeah.
The advantages of getting Mat out tonight
is that probably the biggest threat in the tribe would be gone.
Not only is Mat a physical threat, but he runs this camp.
He tells people how to vote.
So if you take out the leader, the sheep will scatter,
and we might have some more numbers coming to us.
Well, I'm going to speak to Fenella first and decide.
But I would prefer to keep Rob.
You want to talk to Fenella, and let me know?
- What are you going to do? - Hmm...
Is it bad I'm fine with that?
Oh!
- I've been with him since... - Feelings aside.
I'm just being up-front that I'm not sure where I'm going yet.
The issue is I've been working with Mat for a while.
But I'm a bit... more than a bit, I'm very pissed off at them.
I'm a bit frustrated about the Lydia vote.
I wanted her kept around, but no-one cares what I think.
All I wanted, I said, "I'm fine if Lydia goes,
"I just don't want her to go first."
She's, like, one of my best friends out here.
Like, if you respect my vote at all, just don't vote her first.
That's why this thing's getting a bit on, you know...
I'm no longer making decisions.
I've become a pawn in someone's game.
When I feel like I'm being told what to do,
that's a good indicator for me that, "Hey, you're on the bottom now."
So, at this point, I'm happy to potentially work with other people
because what's the point
in sticking with an alliance
when you're just a number to someone, not a valuable member?
If you come with us,
like, me and Robbie have been tight from the start.
We've been 100% honest with each other from the start.
- We both make decisions. - Yep.
We'd love to have you a part of it.
I think you're smart. I think you're awesome.
And then Shonee and Fenella, you're closer with them.
They'll come with us. So we have a solid five.
It looks like Mat has all the power.
And I don't think that I could beat him in a final two.
I'm going to have to make a move against him eventually.
I'm going to have to decide when I should put his head on the block.
Maybe the time to make a move is right now.
Briefly.
Just before Tribal Council, Mat pulled me aside and said,
"Hey, you know where the vote's going tonight. It's gonna be Rob."
I hate putting you in that position, man. It sucks.
If you put it there, that'd be cool.
And if you just underline it.
I know me and Robbie seem like a package,
but I am my own guy, you know?
I told you I respect you. I like your game.
I want to work with you.
So, my two options tonight, I could vote with Mat
and get in with his champs.
But I'm really hoping to save Robbie tonight,
and get this people to flip on Matty
because I'm coming for him, you know?
I feel like I can trust Sharn. I feel like I can trust Sam.
And I feel like I can trust Shonee.
We all have the connections to make this big flip,
and actually give it to Matty and his alliance for once.
You know? He's been sailing through this game way too easily.
All of a sudden, the power comes to me once again.
OK. Well, look, the game is definitely going to shift tonight.
Because tonight, you're going to put your first member on the jury.
And ultimately, it's the jury who's going to decide who's going to win this game.
Benji, getting to the end of this game is one thing.
But getting to the end with the respect of the jury
is a whole other thing.
How do you navigate that dilemma?
Yeah. I think that's what makes Survivor so amazing.
It's just that conflict of interest
between just trying to get to the end,
floating under the radar,
and then having to make these strong social connections
and actually genuinely connecting with these people
who are going to be deciding whether you're worth
half a million dollars.
Brian, Survivor is basically a game of choices.
How important is it to make sure that you choose the right people
to work with in this game?
Very important. That's what's going to keep you
in the game the longest, isn't it?
The alliances you make, the trust you build.
It's huge that you're able to get a good alliance
that you can trust, and they trust you.
That's what this game's about.
Sam, when is the right time to be disloyal in this game?
I think that that is obviously extremely circumstantial.
If you're part of a strong alliance, and you feel comfortable with it,
you don't have much incentive to break the alliance.
Breaking alliance is always a high-risk option,
and you only do it when there's high reward.
If you think you're on the bottom of an alliance,
you might think that the reward outweighs the risk.
Then maybe it's time to try and swap.
Mat, what's the price to pay for choosing
the wrong person to play with in this game?
Yeah. It's critical.
If you do pick the wrong one...
..you know, it could be terminal.
What about you, Robbie?
What do you think about when's the right time to break the alliance?
Look, Jono, it's no secret.
Today was pretty rough for me.
And unfortunately, I feel like I've got a massive target on my head.
Going back to these alliance, and everyone talking about,
you know, flipping alliances and doing this,
my torch is not out yet.
We still have an opportunity to flip this alliance.
We still have someone out there stronger than me,
fitter than me, got a bigger alliance than me.
So, I'm pleading with people I've spoken to,
people that have come up to me,
that we still have a chance to turn around.
I've come up with a plan, and that plan worked.
It's funny. Everybody says it's a numbers game.
And we have the numbers.
When Sam goes you're in the bottom of an alliance,
you need to start breaking the alliance
because you may be at the bottom,
I'm not the guy running the show at the moment.
I'm not the one that's winning all the challenges at the moment.
I'm not the one that's in the majority at the moment.
In this small Contender group and big championship group,
if the rest of the Contenders get in my little alliance and stay strong,
there's an opportunity to flip it and make it more equal.
So, Monika, if I'm hearing Robbie correctly,
he's saying, hey, there's an opportunity tonight
to flip this game on its head,
and let's turn the power play around here.
Those people who may be on the bottom of the alliance
can now become on the top of the alliance
if they make a move tonight.
You know what? That's always an option in the game of Survivor.
The bottom player can very easily get to the top
with a flip of a vote.
It just depends on where you see you going,
moving forward in this game,
and what the best thing for you personally is.
What about you, Mat? What's the vote about tonight for you?
Just about solidifying, you know,
trust within an alliance,
and eliminating potential threats.
Benji, what is this vote about tonight for you?
Um...
The vote's about...
That's a tough question.
I don't know what this vote's about, you know?
I'm on the bottom.
And I've been looking to try and help people with their game
in order for them to try and help me off the bottom,
and aligning incentives to people and build trust and relationships
in order to get myself as far as possible in this game,
as well as those that I trust.
So, I am basing my vote on that.
Robbie, what should people remember when they go up to vote tonight?
I played Survivor to break up majorities, to do blindsides.
I think, you know, tonight's no exception.
We're a minority.
We have an opportunity right here, right now.
And if we can switch that minority to a majority,
then it works in all of our favours.
We have the numbers. We have the numbers.
Alright. Well, I think it is time to vote.
Alright. Well, I think it is time to vote. Sam, you're up.
No words, really, mate.
Just you and me, so...
Robbie, mate, love you, but, um,
mate, you're too much of a threat in this game.
And you being as physical and strong as you are,
we got to move you on now, mate.
I hope to catch you on the other side.
I'll go count the votes.
If anyone has a hidden immunity idol,
and they want to play it, now would be the time to do so.
OK. Once the votes are read, the decision is final.
The person voted out will be asked
to leave the Tribal Council area immediately.
I'll read the votes.
First vote, Robbie.
Robbie. That's two votes, Robbie.
Benji.
Mat. That's two votes, Robbie, one vote, Benji, one vote, Mat.
Robbie. That's three votes, Robbie.
Robbie. Four votes, Robbie.
Robbie. That's five votes, Robbie.
The 14th person voted out of Australian Survivor
Champions versus Contenders,
first member of our jury, Robbie.
You need to bring me your torch.
Robbie, the tribe has spoken.
Time for you to go.
Good luck, guys. Loved it.
Well, in this game, you should always remember,
those at the top of the tree have the furthest to fall.
Grab your torches, head back to camp.
Tomorrow night on Australian Survivor...
..with Robbie gone, Benji sets his sights on Mat.
I can't wait to get my hands dirty. I've been waiting to get rid of Mat.
Massive moves are made.
We have a good chance of becoming the majority power.
And loyalties betrayed.
I don't know who I can trust now.
This game can be flipped on its head.
And...
Australian Survivor's most brutal challenge ever...
How much can you take on before you panic?
..will have everyone gasping for air.
What the hell happened, you know?
They say the nail that sticks out the most gets hammered.
That's what happened. They saw me as an overall threat
and had to get rid of me.
From day one, Benji and I, we had a little nickname, Fluff and Pump.
And to see Pump come up there.
I know that Benji didn't want to write my name down.
But he's trying to protect himself right now.
This is sad, man.
You're the best thing that happened out here.
I'm going to win this thing,
but your friendship was much more important.
I love you, man.
There's only three Contenders left.
If we didn't flip tonight, it would get harder and harder
to get numbers across.
First member of the jury is epic, you know?
I'm gone, but I got through it.
I came into Survivor to prove my worth to the competitors,
and I've done that.
I came into Survivor to give it my all, and I have.
