Previously on Australian Survivor...
Go!
With Matt voted out, the Contenders fought to regain lost ground.
Steve goes in!
I suppose you can call me the Commando Killer now.
But when push came to shove...
Champions take the reward!
..they missed out on yet another reward.
Let's go!
But in the immunity challenge,
the Contenders drew on all their strength...
You've got this!
Heath wins it for the Contenders,
sending the Champions to tribal council!
..and victory was finally theirs.
Your name's been thrown out there.
Jackie kept her poker face...
I doubt that.
..while super player Russell...
I'm King Russell.
..laid his cards on the table.
I'm not going home. I'm the best player that's ever been.
But Moana and criminal barrister Sharn...
- Have you got a name? - Russell.
..called his bluff...
He's not in control of the game.
If anyone has a hidden immunity idol and they want to play it,
now would be the time to do so.
There is no damn way they put my name down.
Russell.
..and a tie between Russell and Jackie...
We're gonna re-vote.
Second time lucky, mate.
..delivered a blow he never saw coming...
Second person voted out
Champions versus Contenders.
..and Russell went home with the idol.
The tribe has spoken.
22 are left.
Who will be going home tonight?
It's just here.
Did he go in there?
No, I think he's gone in there.
Oh, it's over here, Mat.
It's got some legs on it.
That's a drumstick or two.
Come on, mate. You can catch it.
I let you down. No chicken soup for dinner.
Let's just keep feeding it a little bit until...
Fatten it up. It can eat the beans.
We can eat the chicken.
Let's keep feeding it, keep it kind of close.
And then when we're, like, ready...
Boom. I'm into that.
Runaway chicken.
Don't name it.
I'm gonna name it Jonathan.
Welcome to Champion Beach, Jonathan.
Day six.
Woke up this morning, me and Sharn had a little bit of a smile,
a little bit of a smirk.
Last night I think we pulled off the best move
literally ever in this game.
Just glad we showed him who is boss, I guess.
Like, what did he say, charm?
Like, do you want to know how to play the game?
It's like, well, we just schooled you, sister.
In one tribal council you're gone.
You almost spent more time on a plane to get to the island
than you have on the island.
Good luck, buddy.
We sent Russell home on the first go, and we called his bluff,
and I was part of it.
I'm pretty chuffed with myself.
Like, I almost feel like I've already just won Survivor
based on the fact that we just sent home the man
that everyone assumed would win.
Whatever tomorrow throws at us,
we tackle as a team, cross the line together.
Like...
If the Survivor guys were listening, we would like two lattes,
- two Snickers. - Yes.
Yep, the Snickers.
A latte, preferably in a thermos so it doesn't get cold.
- Yep. - Somewhere in the jungle for us.
- We'll find it. - Yep.
I feel extremely blessed to be out here.
Honestly, I've had a pretty amazing time
and I've only been here six days.
This is the first thing I've done for me in a very long time.
Normally I'm trying to help others or do stuff for other people.
You try it and I'll help you.
- OK. - So a little bit.
I'm a full-time carer of my disabled sister, Lavinia.
I've been taking care of her for three, four years.
She was born with what they call Moebius syndrome,
which is a really rare disability.
Yeah, go on.
I'm warning you, I'm very competitive.
She needs 24/7 care.
She is 25 but has the mental capacity of a small child.
She calls me Mum, which is cute,
and, you know, she really relies on me.
- Hey. - What?
- Do you think I'm a good sister? - Yep.
She is more than just somebody I take care of.
She's like my best friend.
- Who's your best friend? - Jessica?
Oh!
Moana. Moana.
Leaving her was one of the hardest decisions I've ever had to do.
But I wanted to do something for me.
I came out here to challenge myself.
I'll give my all no matter what. That's what I'm here for.
Whatever it's gonna take, I'll do that to win.
And out here, we all need someone that we can trust.
I do trust Sharn. What is it?
Sharn is extremely smart.
She's a lawyer.
She's really lovely too and she's pretty straight up, honest,
and I want to be with her all the way to the end.
I got you.
- Yep. - You got me.
But don't make it too obvious that we're buddies out there either.
What?
We can't get BFF necklaces?
You know, because we do. We're talking and stuff.
- We just wink. - Yeah.
I'm happy you just...
We can just talk once a day, whatever.
Are you cutting me off?
- Huh? - Are we breaking up?
- Yeah, we're broken up. - Totally.
I know what you're saying. I get it.
OK, so don't take it personally or anything?
I personally don't want to talk to you either.
Yeah.
You know what?
I just want us to be that tribe that keeps smashing those immunities
and be that big, strong tribe, you know?
That's what we're talking about last night.
They're just posturing. That's all they're doing.
I don't think they're as tight as they say they are.
I'm just keen to see who's been voted out.
- Mm, yeah! - Yep.
- I'm excited. - Does anyone think it's Russell?
One?
Waking up this morning.
The camp is in better shape, we're remodelling the shelter,
we're winning challenges.
That's why we play this game. That's why we play this game.
These Champions, they think they've got this in the bag.
What they don't understand is we are the underdog.
We have got something to prove and we did that.
Benji's doing it right now. Yeah, he needs to do that.
There's a few big boys in the Contenders' tribe.
Obviously you've got Heath, the seven foot giant.
You've got Zach, the absolute hulk.
And even though the Champion girls
are stronger than our Contender girls,
they work well together, they're smart.
Tegan's that short little fiery-arse mum that, you know,
catches crabs for dinner, and she's a provider as well.
It's so stuck in there.
And there's Stevie.
Like that. You tend to go like this.
The tribe is strong
and we proved to the Champions that we're gonna keep getting stronger.
Everyone's getting along in camp.
No, no. Just put this on it...
..on its back, and then you pick it up from behind.
People go and do their specific things in the morning.
Me personally, I'm trying to look after my body
and keep it as strong as possible
so that I can try and overdo the shortfalls of having prosthetics.
Ahhhh!
Oh, I wish you guys knew how good that felt.
- To take your leg off? - Oh, yeah.
Would it be like taking my shoe off?
No.
Like, imagine if you're wearing a set of heels that you hated,
and they're just tearing my heel apart,
and then wearing them for eight hours.
Oh, kill me.
And then that little bit...you've got to walk the whole time in it,
- and then take the heel off. - Ohh!
Yeah.
I knew it was gonna be a growth thing for me,
to be able to have 11 strangers seeing me when I don't have legs on.
'Cause there's a handful of people have actually seen that.
The hard thing is when you know each time that you put them on
that these are a restriction.
I know that I've got to do something and do something really well
to prove that I'm useful to the team.
After last night's hectic tribal council,
I knew my head was on the chopping block.
- OK? - Yeah, I'm OK.
I'm trying not to get paranoid and I'm just trying to trust my gut.
- It was chaotic, though. - I'm going fishing.
OK.
From all the hours sitting at the poker table,
I just get this gut feeling telling me something's not right.
Sometimes when you're given a bad hand,
you have to find ways to win.
Obviously I can't be 100% sure about who voted for me
but I think Mat, Russell, Steve and Damien.
I do feel vulnerable at the moment within the tribe.
I need to turn that around somehow.
I told you I'm gonna play this game honest.
If I get voted out, I'll sleep easy at night.
Exactly.
You crept up on me like that.
Don't ever do that again.
Let's go for a walk.
I need to find a way to work the people around me
and try and find a weakness and use it to my advantage.
I'm here to win Sole Survivor.
I need to find someone weak or vulnerable
and make sure that their neck's on the chopping block rather than mine.
I mean, Damien can't run and do those sorts of things.
I'm not voting him out.
To be honest, it's idiotic, to put it mildly.
Plus, I don't want to go heads up with Damien at the end of this game.
I'm a poker player.
How am I gonna compete against an actual war hero
that gave both his legs fighting for our country?
You know, like, I'm never gonna win that battle.
He's someone that I feel really needs to go for me
to take my game further.
Come on in, guys.
I wonder who's gone.
Contenders getting their first look at the new Champions tribe.
Russell voted out at the last tribal council.
Oh, my God!
Not expecting that one.
Wow.
- And he had an idol around his neck. - No way!
Tegan, you think they made the right move getting rid of Russell?
I would have liked to have met him, actually.
No. No, you didn't.
Benji, what do you think the Champions voting out Russell
says about the players over there?
Uh, I think they're pretty tight as a team.
I mean, Russell had an idol around his neck
and they still managed to take him out, so congrats to them.
Sharn, do you think the tribe is stronger now that Russell is gone?
Absolutely. Yep.
The next morning
there was such a black cloud that had lifted over our tribe.
Yep. And we're really cohesive and united and...yeah,
fresh and ready to rumble today.
Alright. Are you guys ready to get to today's reward challenge?
- Yes. - Alright.
For today's challenge you're going to face off one on one
in a penalty shoot-out, Survivor style.
Each round one tribe will put up a striker, the other tribe a goalie.
Get the ball in the back of the net, score a goal for your tribe.
The first tribe to score seven goals wins reward.
Want to know what you're playing for?
- Hell, yeah, baby. - Yeah.
The winning tribe today will get...
Fishing gear.
..a massive fishing kit with masks, snorkel, fins, spear, net
and the all-important tackle box.
In addition, in case it takes you a while
to find something decent out there,
you're also going to get...
..one of these...
..cooked and waiting for you back at camp.
- Robbie, you like the look of that? - I love that.
I want that now.
- He'd eat it raw. - I'm tempted. Sashimi.
Well, you're going to have to win it first.
Minute to talk about it, we'll get to it.
Alright.
For a very nice reward,
Contenders, who are you putting up as your first striker?
- Robbie. - Come on, Robbie!
Robbie.
Champions, who's going in goals?
Mat in goals.
Facing off again.
You guys are developing quite the history here.
He looks like a soccer player, this bloke.
Oh, is that right?
Watch your wind. Watch that wind.
Alright, mate. It's alright. You just watch the ball, mate.
- You just watch the ball. - I'm watching it.
You just make sure you hit it in the goal.
It's alright. Alright. I've got it under control, mate. It's alright.
Robbie lines it up.
- Ooh, he tries to fake him out. - I'm not that silly.
He takes a shot... Oh!
And Mat for a great save.
Alright. Switch positions.
Mat's faced off against Rob before.
And he's won each one them. Can he do it again?
Come on.
You're getting a tan, are you?
Mat says a little prayer.
Takes a punt...Robbie saves it for the Contenders!
Robbie, nice save.
Alright, Champions, your turn to pick a striker.
We have Brian for the Champions
kicking against Heath for the Contenders.
Come on, Heath!
Go, Heath! Go, H.
If he just goes like this, he's going to block the whole thing.
Doesn't have to move.
Heath, can you... Can you reach up? Can you touch the top?
Hey, Brian, how many goals have you scored in your career so far?
- I think it was 35. - Nice.
But this is a different game.
Are you making excuses already? Is that what's going on?
Go, Brian.
Brian lines up.
Looking very serious, takes a punt...
And he sneaks it in the corner.
Nice. Champions lead one, zip.
Come on, H.
Maybe Heath can even up the score here.
Don't hit the ground before the ball, Heath.
It happens to the big, tall fellas.
With big shoes.
Big shoes? What are they? Size 17?
Yeah, mate.
Surely he won't miss it.
Mate, can we use it for a canoe?
A little trash talk out there.
Heath takes a shot.
Oh, just off the post!
Champions still lead, one, zip.
Ole! Ole! Ole!
Benji for the Contenders kicking against Samuel for the Champions.
Benji checks the wind direction.
Yeah, Benji.
It's windy out here today, could play into this.
Twerk it, buddy, twerk it.
Oh, there's too much angle on that run-up.
- He takes a shot... - Oh!
Just off the crossbar. Nice.
Nice try, mate.
Here we go. Samuel has his own technique.
Hey, I don't know about that.
It's in the right position.
This is brain versus brain right here.
Go, brother.
Right, Benji. Right to you, mate.
- Here we go. - Come on, Benji.
Samuel lines it up, takes a kick.
Oh, and he sneaks it in the corner!
Champions are pulling away, two, zip.
Look at him with the little cheesy grin. He loves it. You love it.
OK. Next round we have Tegan for the Contenders.
- Soccer mum in the making. - Oh, yeah.
- Soccer mum. Whoo! - I'm not a soccer mum.
She's taking on Shane for the Champions.
Takes a big breath, a little Tai Chi.
She kicks...
No, doesn't even reach the goal.
Shane wants some revenge.
- Oh, yeah. - Gee.
Yeah. Yeah. That's what I'm talking about, Shane.
Let's go! Let's go!
- Oh, look! - Whoa!
Tegan puts it in against Shane!
We're on the board, guys.
Putting the Contenders on the board,
Champions still lead, two, one.
Huge fishing kit.
Some much-needed protein up for grabs.
Moana for the Champions, kicking against Jenna for the Contenders.
Oh! Off the post. No goal.
Let's get some fish.
And we are tied, two, two.
Next round, Paige for the Contenders,
kicking against Lydia for the Champions.
She kicks, straight into Lydia's arms.
Yep, Paigey. Whoo!
Lines it up, takes a kick.
Sticks it in the corner!
Right past Paige.
Champions continue to lead, three, two.
Humble, humble.
Lydia does a little chicken dance to celebrate.
Alright. Zach for the Contenders against Jackie for the Champions.
This should be interesting.
Big boy Zach, ooh, he tries to fake her out
and even it up right here for the Contenders.
Zach closes the gap and we are tied, three, three!
Go, Jack, this'll rub it in now, put it in the goal.
Let's see what Jackie's made of.
This'll be the best game Survivor's seen, Jack beats you in a shoot-out.
Alright.
Come on, Jackie.
Oh, she's way off.
Yeah! I was playing with my teammates.
And she celebrates that it's so way off.
I'm sorry.
Damien for the Champions, kicking against Fenella for the Contenders.
Go, Damo.
Put it on a little mound, Damo.
- Do you need a hand? - No, mate.
Go, Fenella.
Oh, that's good tactics, Fenella.
Distract him with your good looks and your secret weapon.
Yeah. Look at that secret weapon she's got.
Damien, kicks. Great kick but over the goal.
A lot of pressure on Fenella to put the Contenders on the board.
- Oh, love your moves. Good moves. - Whoo!
Can she do it?
She lines up, takes a shot.
Oh, great save from Damien!
Great kick from Fenella. Great save from Damien.
Wow. That's some soccer right there.
We are tied, three, three.
Let's go, Anita. Come on, Mama Bear.
Go Sharn. You've got this.
We are playing to seven.
No! She hits the crossbar.
Anita dancing around in goal.
Sharn takes a shot... and sneaks it in
and opens up the lead for the Champions, four, three.
Brian scored in the last round, can he do it again.
And he does!
Heath really wants to turn this around for the Contenders.
Takes a shot! Oh, straight into Brian's hands.
Champions lead five, three.
We are playing to seven.
Oh, look at that ass.
Benji...
..puts it in the corner.
Sneaks it past Samuel,
closes the gap for the Contenders, it's five, four.
Samuel scored against Benji last time. Can he do it again?
Oh, and he does!
Whoo!
Wow.
Sneaks it past Benji, Champions widening that lead, six, four.
Champions lead six, four. All they need is one more goal.
Come on, Sharny.
A lot of pressure on Monika here.
She can bring it home for the Champions.
Go, Mon.
And she does!
Yay!
The Champions win reward!
I'm so sorry, guys.
We got the fish! We got the fish!
We did it! We did it! We did it!
Champions, congratulations. All of this is yours.
And of course that very tasty fish
will be waiting for you back at camp.
Come and grab it, head on out. Enjoy.
- Who can use it? - Me.
Nice.
Head on out.
We've broken the curse.
We've come back with a challenge win.
We've got fish at dinner, I'm happy. I'm happy.
Oh! Yum!
Look likes meat's back on the menu, boys.
The result of the challenge today
was that we won a fish that we could eat for lunch.
- Smell it, though. Smells amazing. - Oh, my God.
Oh, my gosh. Unbelievable.
- Well done, everyone. - Yeah, well done, guys.
Whoo!
The fish is cooked, but it's not just cooked.
It's covered in tomato and garlic, ginger, onion.
Oh, mate, that's so much better than just a cooked fish.
That is probably gonna be the best fish I've ever tasted.
Guys, I don't want to get ahead of myself, but this might be poisoned.
I'm just gonna grab this one.
You'll be our taster.
What's up?
No, it's definitely toxic. Oh!
- How is the flavour? - I just had a mouth orgasm.
It feels really good to win that challenge.
I think everyone did good today.
For someone who's in my position to actually be really useful,
was an awesome feeling.
To have something that reminds them
of what they were like before their injuries...
Yeah, I mean, personally it was great.
But also, you've done your team justice.
I felt like I belonged in the Champions team.
- Cheers. - Yeah, cheers, guys.
Cheers, everyone. Bon appetit.
Everyone was so hungry and so excited by this massive fish
that was surrounded with all these vegies.
They all just got stuck into it.
I'm hungry. So, I want food.
Matt's licking it already.
But, I'm a massive vegetarian.
I'm alright with vegies. I'll eat some...
Do they know that, though? Hey, guys.
Just leave some of the vegies and stuff,
'cause Mo's more into that and not meat.
Actually, I'm fine. You guys just eat.
Great to get our hands on some fish.
Yummy.
That'll probably up the morale within the team.
Tastiest thing I've had all week.
What do you reckon the Contenders are having for lunch?
Sadness, I guess.
Just pure sadness.
I know. Just smoky taro.
I don't think it's ready.
Food is really starting to get to everyone.
I want to win badly, but not to smash the Champions,
but to smash some food.
Manky taro, no fish, come back probably sunburnt.
Been a good day for Fen.
So we get back from the challenge
and I thought I'd go and fill up my water bottle
and came across a clue for a hidden immunity.
The idol is going to be at the next tribal council.
This one is...
My option is to throw the next challenge
to ensure that I do go to the next tribal council
and I can have a shot at getting the immunity idol.
The plan is to get that idol without anyone knowing that I've got it.
But...it puts a target on your back if anyone finds out.
As soon as he looked at it, I knew that I'd left the bottle in there.
Oh, what a dickhead. What a dickhead.
Even though he shook my hand and looked me in the eyes and said,
"It's you and me until the end,"
I know Robbie's coming for me.
That's cool. How do you want to play it?
It's only a clue. It's only a clue.
I felt like I was in a good position finding the hidden immunity clue
but now with a couple of people that know,
I feel like that could be the make or break for me.
- Let's check it out later, then. - Yeah, sweet.
They're onto me.
- A huge pick-me-up for tomorrow. - Oh, yeah.
Oh, mate. Oh, so good.
I never thought I'd say that about fish, you know?
Fish. So good.
The only thing better than that right now would be finding an idol.
That dressing is to die for, though.
The flavours are phenomenal.
I think there might even be some ginger.
- Who wants the eyeball? - Nuh.
What did we find out about the other team?
That they can't play soccer.
- You just eat that whole thing? - Yeah.
I ate those leaves. They actually tasted...
Think they might leave the dining table for us?
Why don't we just throw it in the fire?
I'm surprised no-one's seen it.
'Cause it was just literally there in the open.
Everyone else was feasting. Thank God I'm a vegetarian.
"You have found a clue to the hidden immunity idol.
"It'll be hidden at the next tribal council.
"The idol will be hidden in the lid of the voting urn."
Oh, that's sick.
That means only I know what's under the lid.
I'm pretty stoked for that.
Man, I want that idol.
So if it means that we've got to lose, then...
An immunity idol is extremely powerful.
You just don't show it to anyone.
And I don't plan on showing it to anyone once I get it.
Finders keepers.
It just gives you a little bit more room to manipulate some stuff.
I'm definitely doing a little bit of that on the side already
and I guess if I get this idol, I can do a little bit more.
- Oh, my God. - Look at this.
Come on in, guys!
What is that?
How is everyone today?
- Good. - Pumped up.
Damien... how'd you enjoy that fish yesterday?
It was amazing.
Yes. Sorry to say to the Contenders, there wasn't just fish.
We had fish, tomato, garlic, onion, ginger, chilli...
- Oh, wow. Oh, wow... - You wouldn't have liked it.
Oh, mate.
And, Mat, was that a much-needed protein hit?
Oh, man, yeah, it was.
Feel it sort of absorbing into your body as you eat it, so we needed it,
and, um...you know, we would have survived without it,
but it was a welcome surprise.
Do you think it'll make a difference in today's challenge?
Yeah, I think it will.
Looks like we've got a bit work to do ahead of us, so, um...
..yeah, we're gonna need all the energy we can get,
and protein will definitely deliver some of that.
Jackie...we're eight days in.
Both tribes have gone to tribal council now.
Are you starting to feel the game ramp up?
Definitely. You know, we wanna keep our numbers up,
so the immunity challenge is the biggest thing for us.
Reward's great, but this is what we're here for.
Moana, taking in everything people are saying here,
how important is it to avoid tribal tonight?
We're a pretty close group.
I think avoiding that is just gonna keep us closer.
I guess the more we win, the closer to the merge we get,
the easier it is for all of us.
Alright. You guys ready to get to today's immunity challenge?
First things first, who has it?
- Ah, there. Right in front. - There you go, Jonny.
Once again, immunity is back up for grabs.
For today's challenge,
seven members of your tribe
are gonna push a giant wheel around a course,
while two more tribe mates will ride on top,
using a grappling hook to fish baskets of puzzle pieces.
Once you've collected all the baskets,
the final two tribemates will use the pieces inside
to solve the puzzle.
First tribe that gets the puzzle right wins immunity.
Losing tribe, it's a trip to tribal council,
where someone is gonna become the third person voted out of this game.
Give you a minute to talk about it.
We'll get to it.
Alright. Here we go.
Fishing for the contenders, we have Anita and Steve.
Fenella and Tegan on the puzzle.
Fishing for the Champions, we have Shane and Damien
with Monika and Jackie on the puzzle.
Everyone else is on the wheel.
For immunity...
Survivors ready...
- ..go! - Go, Red! Push, push, push, push!
Coming back, keep pushing, keep pushing.
Need to get all the away down the end and around the teepee
to come back up the course!
Breathe, team. We got this.
You're on line, you're on line.
This wheel is heavy and awkward.
Go to the right! Go to the right!
It's gonna take a lot of teamwork to make this come together.
Don't stop, don't stop, don't stop...
Contenders get snagged on a flag.
- Stop, stop, stop! - That slows them down.
Here we go. We're on line, we're on line.
Straighten her up, straighten her up.
Alright, start to turn.
- Go right, go right. - Start to turn.
Champs hit the teepee first. They're turning the corner.
Push on the inside, turn on the outside.
Contenders close behind.
- Keep pushing, keep pushing. - Yeah, go, go, go.
- Keep pushing. - OK, turn in, guys.
Slow down.
Champs approaching their first basket.
Put it out, put it down.
Let it down, let it out. Let it out. Way out.
Swing it!
Need to get closer. Closer. Closer.
Pick it up, pick it up, pick it up. We need to move them out.
- Contenders are there now. - Here we go, Stevie. Here we go.
- Pull over, it'll hook right up. - Up, up!
Give me an inch, guys. Give me an inch.
- Lift the rope, drop the hammer. - But you pull that up.
No, Steve, let go of the rope for me, please.
It's gonna take a lot of teamwork here
to get the chariot in the right position.
Nah, hang on. There we go.
Champions are very close.
- Move forward a half foot. - Get closer.
Up. There you go.
And they have their first one!
Need to get the basket on the chariot before you can move on.
Stop! Steve!
- Steve, down! - Down!
Down, down, down, down!
I got it. I'll get it, I'll get it.
- Let it out, let it out. - Let go of the rope!
Done! Go!
Champions are moving on to the next one.
Wait for the swing. Now.
- Yes! - Yes.
Oh, and just like that, the Champions snag the second one.
Grab it! Let it out, Shane.
Go. Go.
Champions are working together very well on this challenge.
- Drop the hammer. - Wiggle it around.
That's it.
- Yes. - Yeah, yeah. Pull!
Go, go, go, go!
Contenders have their next basket.
GO! Go!
They make quick work of it.
Both tribes now at their third basket.
- Hang on. Don't move the rope. - Like, leave the rope where it.
Don't move the rope, please, Shane.
Champions having trouble with theirs.
- There we go. - Let go, let go.
Leave the rope. Stop moving the rope, Shane, please!
That's right. Just hook it on to something. Come on. Let's go.
- Yes! - Yes, man!
Contenders pulling ahead.
Champions still having trouble with their third basket.
Too far away from it.
More rope, Shane.
No, no, no, no!
No! Oh, my God.!
And the Champions have lost a basket.
Oh, this is a disaster for them!
- Drop the hammer! - Slow, slow, slow, slow!
Rope, rope, rope!
- Down, down, down! - Yes, yes!
Watch out, watch out, watch out...
And just like that, the Contenders have their fourth basket.
Go! GO!
They are whipping through this now.
Let it out, let it out. Dump it all. Dump it all. Everything you can.
Come forward a bit.
Go forward from there. Stay there.
- Just take it up. - Come on!
We're not giving up!
Come on, let's go, guys, we've still got it.
Let the rope go!!
Let's go!
Champions have recovered on that third basket.
They need to make up some serious time here
if they want to stay in this challenge.
Come on, Champions!
- Shane, get ready. - Swing it to the right.
- Get it ready. - GO!
- Get ready, get ready! - Get ready to get down!
Hold on!
Go, go, go,
Contenders, get all the baskets on the mat
before the puzzles makers can start working.
Go. Put 'em on the mat, put 'em on the mat.
Go! Go, Steve!
Thanks, mate.
Alright, the contenders have all their baskets. Go, puzzle makers!
- Let's go! - Go!
Meanwhile, Champions moving on to the fourth basket.
- Oh! - Back.
Backwards, backwards, backwards.
No, no, no.!
And they knock it over again!
This is gonna make it so much harder for them.
Don't give up. Don't give up.
Move back.
Their basket just dropped on the ground.
- Yeah, I know. - We're good.
- Well, you need them all. - It's alright.
Contenders have a huge lead in this challenge.
Almost have all their pieces out of the basket.
There's another one in here. There's another one.
There's another one in here.
- No, it's on the edge. - Keep it up, keep it up.
- Hold it there. There it is! - Up, up, up!
- Watch your leg, watch you leg. - Wait till they've got it.
- Grab it! - Grab it.
- That's it! - Let it go, Shane. Let go of the rope.
Oh, puzzle bits. Get 'em, get 'em.
Oh, no!
The basket comes open and they lose some pieces!
Chuck them on the deck. Here, quick!
- Grab them, grab them. - Grab 'em!
Quick! That's it.
Put 'em in the front.
Lydia trying to toss those pieces back to the top.
- That's it! Let's go! - Come on!
Into the parking bay.
- Remember, you four get the puzzles. - Yep!
Puzzle pieces. Hang on as we stop. Hang on as we stop.
The Champions are back.
You need to get all the baskets on the mat
before the puzzle makers can start.
- Just throw 'em, mate. Throw 'em. - That's it. Don't worry.
Meanwhile, Tegan and Fenella working on their puzzle.
You gotta build it from the ground up.
- Yes. - Fenella has a piece in.
Fenella gets another piece in.
Yes... Yes, Fenella.
Come on, Champions. You got some serious time to make up here.
Everyone's gotta be on the mat. Everyone on the mat.
- OK. - Alright, go, Monika.
Go, Jackie. Get those pieces out.
Blacks are the outside pieces.
Champions organising their pieces.
Up. Yes. Up more, up more.
- Like that. - There you go, there you go.
Fenella and Tegan keeping their foot on the gas.
- Look for those funny shapes, guys. - We're still in this.
- We are so still in this, guys. - We're still in this.
Come on.
Get all the pieces on the table and start working on your puzzle.
Alright, let's all not talk. Let her brain work.
Mon, look for this for me. Yeah?
There's a lot on the line with this challenge.
Kind of like this, but with no lines on it.
Someone going home tonight.
It's all gonna hinge on this puzzle.
- Yes, girls, yes. - Yes, girls!
Yeah, Contenders!
Oh, my God.
Jackie and Monika taking their time.
They have one in.
They've still got heaps of pieces, guys. We're still fine.
That one goes on the left, but just put it down.
- Yes. - Good job, girls.
Yes! Come on, girls!
They have half of their puzzle completed.
Come on, you concentrate.
- Watch out, watch out. - Slide. Slide from the bottom.
The Champions drop a piece.
It's not go in through the thin part. Goes straight.
It has to come in parallel.
You have to, like, push it, like, from the top.
Panic starting to set in for the Champions.
Someone going home tonight.
Girls, you've got time. You've got time.
Oh, it's really coming together now for the Contenders.
They are super focused.
Yes, Tegan! Yeah, Tegan!
And Tegan gets another piece in.
Contenders are pulling away.
Jackie now removes an entire section.
Oh, and the Champions' puzzle falls over.
All their pieces on the ground.
That's not it. That's not it.
This has really opened the door for the Contenders.
- Nice. Nice job, girls. - I can taste it!
Let's go, girls.
Contenders think they have it.
- Slide it in. - Slide it in.
Slide it in.
They can win it right here.
- Yeah, yeah. - Yeah, girl!
One more piece from Fenella.
And that's it!
Contenders win immunity, sending Champions to tribal council.
- Good on you, guys! - Yes!
Contenders, congratulations, immunity is yours again.
You guys are safe. No-one going home tonight.
Grab your gear, head on out.
Thanks, Jonathan.
Well done, guys.
Well done.
- Thanks, Jonny. - Thanks, Jonno.
Champions, I'm gonna be seeing you guys again
tonight at tribal council,
where one of you will become the third person voted out
Champions v Contenders.
Grab your gear, head on out. I'll see ya tonight.
My first thought was, "Holy crap, we lost."
My next thought was, "You just won an idol."
Feels good.
I feel absolutely terrible about today's challenge.
The fact that I messed up the puzzle does put a target on my back.
There is nothing that I wouldn't do to stay and be the Sole Survivor.
I will fight until my fire is snuffed out.
I just really feel like I've let the team down today.
And I have no excuses,
other than I let the pressure of tonight and today affect me today.
You know?
But, I mean, if it's a cubing competition
and I had a bad day at the office,
I walk away disappointed and frustrated in myself.
But what I feel right now, letting our team down, like...
..doesn't even compare.
For anyone who wants to put my name down tonight, all I wanna say is...
..I just want you to think of my collective contribution
other than today,
and give me the opportunity to make it up to you guys.
I have no excuses.
But I'd really like the opportunity to make it up to you all.
Everyone did their best. Everyone gave 100%.
- Yeah, I know. - And that's all we ask...
..everyone always asks of each other, yeah?
Well, it's not fake, but...
I'm a poker player and I have no problems with deceiving people.
You know, I could have made the speech without tears
but I thought tears probably comes across a little better.
So, I think we need to come up with a plan.
- So... - Yeah.
- What are you thinking? - I'm thinking...
- We've got each other's back. - Yeah. I...I agree.
I'm hoping that with a little pressure off me,
I'm gonna turn the heat on Damien.
OK. Alright.
Just... We wanna win challenges.
- Yeah, no, I agree with that. - Alright.
That sounds very sensible.
And I think Lydia's on the same page.
OK.
I think Damien's going home.
If I was a betting person,
I'd be definitely going all in on that hand.
The vote's for Damien.
Jackie is one that I don't trust.
I haven't trusted Jackie since day one. I still don't trust Jackie.
Then we can just go along with that like we're part of the team.
Like, I knew Jackie's crocodile tears were coming.
Like, I felt them coming from...
Like, you could have picked them from the other side of the ocean.
Tonight I think I'm gonna write down Jackie.
Jackie's playing the game too hard.
- I told you I got your back. - Yeah.
And I got Commando's back.
Me and Mat's got on since day one.
I just have so much respect for him.
We've made a pact that we'll be honest with each other and, for me,
you show me loyalty and love, I'll show you loyalty and love.
Everyone's going Damo.
Oh, really? I don't wanna see Damo's name written down.
The bond that Damien and I have,
that's just a commando thing.
That's...that's a commitment that we all made to one another,
you know, from the unit that we were in.
He's always gonna have my back, I'm gonna have his back.
Everyone's worried about him.
I'm more worried about Jackie. I'm more concerned...
- I'm concerned about Jackie as well. - Than Damien.
Those crocodile tears today, I just couldn't deal.
You know, if I had to pick between Damo and Jackie
in terms of who'll be more divisive
and who'll be looking after their own backyard
more than anybody else's,
it's not Damo, 'cause he's a good guy and, you know, he is a hero.
You know? He's the only hero here.
Well, I'm writing Jackie's name.
Damien definitely hasn't held us back out here, you know?
He puts his body on the line,
he gets in there just like anybody else.
Jackie definitely wasn't good enough today to win the challenge.
I'm going Jackie.
- I can't vote for Damo. - Yeah, no.
So, Jackie's had a big role in the loss today,
and she recognises that, you know?
When she came back, tears everywhere.
"I've let down the whole team." She did.
You know, "I should have done better." She should have.
You know, "But I'm still good with puzzles." Are you?
- Feel good? - Yeah.
Yeah.
- So it IS her going at me? - Yeah.
I just don't want you going home.
- What does your gut say? - Dunno.
- I mean, I don't like Jackie. - Yeah.
But I just think she's playing the game.
My concern is with Damo...
Look, I love him and I think he's got the best spirit ever,
and I know he can do everything, but I...
What if we get a challenge where... No, I said that the other day.
What are we gonna do about that? I mean...
- Yeah. - We'll lose again,
and then we have to vote him off then, or another one,
and we're just reducing in number
and they're sitting over there pretty, you know, the Contenders,
- with their whole 11. - Yeah.
I have ultimate respect for him
and he's just unbelievable
and just bigger balls than any of us.
But we don't know what we're gonna get in these challenges,
and Damo is a liability.
It's just making the right choice, because you don't know.
We wanna win.
You gotta look at things black and white.
So I literally set out in my mind,
"OK, what are the issues here if Damien stays?
"What are the issues if Jackie stays?"
From a strategic point of view, Jackie.
From a winning point of view, Damo.
Yeah. I know. And we need to win.
Jackie is two-facing everyone here. Let's be honest.
I mean, she has bent rules and stuff.
- So, we have the four boys. - Yeah.
- Me and you. - Yeah.
- That's six. - Yeah.
That's a majority vote for Jackie.
Do you wanna get rid of Jackie now?
I'm only thinking long term.
Yeah, OK.
This is the toughest decision I've had so far in this game...
..where it's about voting with the head or heart as to who goes home.
I just won't vote for Damien.
You know, you look at him, yes, he's got two prosthetics,
but you gotta remember the reason why he's got two prosthetics.
The poor bloke was blown up in Afghanistan.
You know? He's tougher than all of us.
Well, this may be a tribe of champions
but today at the challenge you were not a champion tribe.
So, Mat, what do you think didn't work today?
It's hard to put your finger on one thing.
Maybe there was some miscommunication.
Maybe there was some loss of composure amongst everyone.
But, yeah, it was probably an overall performance
none of us are overly proud of.
You know, as a tribe that's against
a faster, younger, probably fitter group collectively,
we got to be smarter and today was one of those ones that...
We should've won that one.
We were ahead on the strength thing, but we didn't get the job done.
Moana, what's your assessment of today's performance?
I'm sorry.
I just got lost 'cause I was going to say Jonathan back
but now we've got a chicken called Jonathan as well.
You named the chicken after me?
Our pet!
He's ripped. He's a big chicken.
Are you planning on killing the chicken?
No, I don't want to. They want to.
I don't want to.
Yeah, we're going to eat Jono.
We'll think of you.
Great.
Send me to the slaughter. Great.
Well, Jackie, you took on a pivotal role today in the challenge.
Do you think that puts you at risk tonight?
You know what? Whenever you're at the end of the game,
regardless of whether it's a puzzle or shooting hoops or whatever,
you know, like, a lot of weight is on your shoulders.
And, you know, unfortunately, when you don't cross the line
you put yourself at risk when you put your hand up for those roles.
They come with a lot of reward when you win but, man, it's risky.
Well, Damien, you are also in a pivotal role today.
Are you feeling vulnerable tonight because of that?
Yeah, I mean, it's hard.
The spotlight is on you when you lose a challenge.
No-one's ever happy to lose.
I'm always sort of going to be in a bit of a spotlight
because of the physical limitations.
You know, I obviously... I've got a sporty background
but...
..kind of had a bit of the base taken away and left somewhere else,
so it's...
I mean, it's always a risk, me putting my hand up for anything,
isn't it?
But, you know, I'd rather jump in.
"Is it the best move?" is the ultimate question.
Well, you've proved yourself so far.
Well, Brian, when your team loses,
how important is it to get back to the locker room
and figure out where the weak links are?
That's the hardest thing.
Usually in sport you analyse it.
You sit down, you're open and honest
and you work out what areas didn't work,
and you try to rectify it.
But the only way to rectify it is voting someone out.
Steve, what do you think the weak links were today?
Jackie and her knowledge around the puzzle side of things...
There was a puzzle there today.
We end up behind.
Ultimately that's where we lost the game.
You got to be able to perform when the heat's on.
Not every puzzle is, you know, exactly what I'm used to.
Like, I've said that I'm good at a lot of puzzles
and I think that I showed that in the first immunity challenge,
so, yeah, I was hoping to back it up today
with another good performance,
but, yeah, fell short.
And it made me think today,
should I be kind of volunteering for those roles all the time?
But, you know what?
If I think it's the best thing for the team, I have to do it.
You can't be stepping down because you're frightened.
You just got to step up and...and do your best.
But it's not just, you know, challenges that we do.
We've got a camp to maintain.
We've got lots of stuff going on around the campsite.
You want to live in some sort of harmony, you know,
so there's a lot of that that goes into it, not just the challenges,
because if it's not going good there,
by the time we get to the challenge
we're done before we start.
So, Samuel, what can you do in this game
to make sure it's not you going home tonight?
Mate, I don't think there's too much you can do
if you have a run of bad luck.
It's just who you've aligned with
rather than how exactly you're doing in the challenges.
Damien, have you noticed specific alliances within this tribe?
I mean, there's definitely people that are closer than some others.
Jackie, would you agree?
Yeah, I think a lot of tight friendships have formed here.
You know, I'm not manipulating someone to vote one way or the other
but I've got some close friends in here
that I hope just kind of have my back.
You can call them what you will,
but there's a very fine line between alliances and friendships.
Steve, you had a big reaction to that.
I think a little more of Russell's game play that everyone detested
has actually manifested.
So you're saying there ARE alliances?
Game play is factoring into your vote tonight?
Of course.
You hear things, people are giving each other their word.
One minute it's one thing, the next minute it's another.
It's like we're doing a dance.
You just think, "What else could it be?"
Well, Lydia, last tribal, you guys got rid of a big threat.
Is that going to be the same tonight?
No.
I don't think I will be personally voting out a threat in this game.
We have to really think hard about
what our skill sets are individually,
future-proofing this team so that we can win challenges.
Moana, what's your position?
For me personally I'd rather win challenges so we don't come here.
But if we're all going to sit here
and say that we're not thinking about the game, we're liars,
because that's what we're here for, right?
At the end of the game there's only one winner.
As much as I love all these guys
and would love to stay as one big family,
there can only be one person that wins.
We want that to be a champion.
Steve, what should the tribe remember
before they go and vote tonight?
You're your own person first and foremost.
Just consider how easily influenced you are.
Well, on that note, I think it's time to vote.
Samuel, you're up.
Sorry, Damien, we still love you.
Moana.
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.
Alright. 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:
That's two votes Damien.
We're tied,
two votes Damien, two votes Jackie.
That's three votes Damien, two votes Jackie.
That's five votes Damien, two votes Jackie.
The third person voted out
Champions v Contenders...Damien.
It's enough votes. You need to bring me your torch.
Damien, the tribe has spoken.
Time for you to go. See you, mate.
Well done.
Well, the thing about Survivor is, even when you lose as a tribe,
you still need to find a way to win as an individual.
Grab your torches, head back to camp.
Tomorrow night, on Australian Survivor,
a tribe of Champions divided.
I just feel it was a bit of a gutless vote.
Moana shares her secret with Mat...
..to build her army.
And Steve works on building his alliances with the Contenders.
Steve's my boy.
But as the challenges get tougher...
- Get up! - Contenders lead.
..one foot wrong...
Oh, no. No.
..and anyone could be headed home.
I want to finish this.
Oh...
I don't know. The tribe spoke.
So, I came here to win, I didn't come here to lose,
especially, like, third out.
Sorry, mate.
Didn't want to do this
but I couldn't get the numbers on your side.
You know, I think it was a great experience, it was amazing.
I think part of what made the experience so special
was being able to join and bond and hear,
just sit and listen to amazing people
with these really, really fantastic stories, you know,
and getting an insight into them.
Really tough decision this time round.
Um, could have been a few people just...just want to win challenges
and I'm really sorry, you're a top bloke
and inspired us in so many ways.
You know, I've kind of exceeded my own personal expectations
on everything that I've done.
I mean, it would have been nice to live up to everyone else's
but, hey, what can you do?
