Previously on Australian Survivor...
Go!
..the Contenders got off to a rocky start...
Brian takes it out for the Champions!
..Jenna sustained an injury in the first immunity challenge.
Make sure you put that foot up at camp.
After a sneaky start for Steve...
..he decided to bare all for a place in the Fantastic Four.
I'm just a skinny bloke, but size doesn't matter in this instance.
But as the boys flexed their muscles,
the girls built a strong bond of their own.
- Cheers. - Kiki!
The Champions, on a winning streak...
Save from Damien!
..won yet another reward challenge.
We won a fish that we could eat for lunch.
And while the tribe enjoyed the spoils...
Yummy.
..vegetarian Moana found a reward of her own.
"You have found a clue to the hidden immunity idol.
"It will be hidden at the next Tribal Council."
Thank God I'm a vegetarian.
And in the immunity challenge...
It's gonna take a lot of teamwork to make this come together.
..self-proclaimed puzzle expert Jackie
failed to deliver for the Champions.
Contenders win immunity, sending Champions to Tribal Council.
She went out to save herself...
I'd really like the opportunity to make it up to you all.
..as she rallied to swing the vote towards Damien.
OK. Alright.
There was some resistance.
I'm writing Jackie's name.
But in the end, she won the battle.
Third person voted out
Champions v Contenders...
And war hero Damien went home.
The tribe has spoken.
21 are left.
Who will be going home tonight?
- Oh, yeah. - Oh, that's a beauty!
Good spotting, Shonee.
Shake, shake your...
Ooh, I can feel it coming... I've got it!
We're paying seven bucks a kilo for pawpaw back home.
I'm catching it out of trees. It's fabulous.
Oh, well done, girls.
Yay!
The dream team.
You know what? We've been winning challenges. We have food.
Oh, my God, do you see that thing coming down?
- What is that?! - It's a lizard.
For the next challenge that comes our way,
we're ready to go in and absolutely win.
Oh, my God. Fenella!
You hate the bush.
Now I want you to add from here...
..the kick...
In many ways, Survivor is about playing chess.
You've got the rooks, you've got the pawn,
you've got the king
and you've got the queen
and you've got all the other pieces.
One, two, three, hup,
kick, drop.
Ooh, I can feel that.
- Feel the energy. - Let me see you.
Very important to be at least one or two steps ahead of the others.
It's just, ah, the nature of playing Survivor.
You need to know that you have already secured your victory.
- Oh. - Oops. Almost there.
So I'm a little bit like a puppet master.
Any other Mandarin words?
- Wo. - Wo.
- Hen. - Hen.
- Hao. - Hao.
Yep. So, wo hen hao, "I'm very good."
Wo hen hao.
This week, I'll put a lot of effort in building relationships,
those who I think will take the lead.
So I've been in touch with the likes of Robbie and Zach and Benji,
the main key players.
I'll make a Chinaman out of you.
This is a crab trap.
I learned this when I was in the Boy Scouts.
Now look, I'm usually very good with crab catching and all that stuff,
but at the moment, it's a tactical manoeuvring, a deception.
Yep.
That's great.
The plan is working.
I love this.
Of course, man, yeah.
Right now, we got too much fat.
We down a man...
..and we need to get rid of a lot of the, you know...
..without being disrespectful, some of the younger girls.
- Yeah. - You agree?
We do. Yeah.
Yeah.
Oh, Stevie loves me.
But, you know, I really like Stevie as well.
I didn't know that I could have so much in common
with a middle-aged Chinese man.
Maybe we can make something happen.
I am quietly confident.
It's sweet for me, right now, I'm in a good spot.
I've managed to put myself in a position of power.
Steve is kind of in my offside alliance,
he'll vote any way I direct him to.
I'd kind of like to even up the numbers when it comes to gender...
..taking out some of the weaker girls and keeping the tribe strong.
Probably Shonee, possibly Fenella.
Definitely Paige.
- Paige isn't good news, mate. - She's...
She just keeps on spreading rumours.
It's causing a lot of conflict.
I don't really see eye to eye with her on anything.
I don't think anyone really does.
She's a strange individual.
So that's news to me.
Yeah, you just... I'm keeping my eye on 'em.
"Yeah, man, yeah, I told you about the girls, I said, you know,
"don't you trust the pretty ones!"
I hate losing.
I don't like losing anything, really.
As a champion.
Yeah, it's a tough time for all of us
but, um, we went to Tribal Council, we lost Damien.
I thought Damien was a cracking guy and a real hero of our country,
and I love Australia and I love what our country stands for,
and he fought for that freedom
and he went through a lot trying to defend it.
When a guy like Damien gets voted out by this tribe,
it's made me realise this is a game.
You know, nobody's safe.
Yeah. No, it was brutal, the last day and a half, hey?
I'm still, you know, nervous, get nervous.
Yes.
Um, I'm pretty relaxed.
For me, I normally just chuck music on.
- Mm. - Hold a footy, kick it to myself.
Everyone is definitely here to play the game...
..but I wanna play based on trust.
- Yeah, just wanna have fun, hey? - Yeah.
- Play footy. - Yeah.
Do what you've been doing your whole life.
Right now, I've got a pretty strong alliance with Sharn.
I wanna get an alliance with Mat as well.
That would be a really good position to be in.
Mat and I connected since day one.
We have the same... values in life and outlook.
I remember when I first made the Australian side, and Bob...
..a legend coach named Bob Fulton, who played with my dad,
pulled me aside and went,
"I just want you to be you. Just be you."
It was the best advice.
Yeah.
I'll do whatever I can to make sure I have Mat on my side.
Yeah.
Let's do it.
An idol!
Let's do it.
- Yeah? - Let's do it.
Roll.
Mo's given me an idol to look after, which is huge.
It's absolutely huge.
You know, I feel pretty good right now.
I feel like right now we're in control of the tribe...
..we can control the vote.
I'm pumped, hey, I can't wait to keep playing.
Come on in, guys.
A chair?
Contenders getting their first look at the new Champions tribe.
Damien voted out in the last Tribal Council.
That's sad.
Mat...
..how was it back at camp after tribal?
It was tough, you know, to lose a guy like that
who's given so much for our country,
it was sad seeing him walk away.
You guys ready to get to your next reward challenge?
Yes.
Today's challenge, one member from each tribe will hold on to a pole.
On my go, two members from the opposing tribe
will attempt to pull that person off the pole.
First tribe to get the person across the line scores a point.
First tribe to score three points wins reward.
Want to know what you're playing for?
Yes.
Winning tribe will get to spend the afternoon...
..with their own Survivor vanity...
..complete with toothbrushes, toothpaste,
- dental floss... - Dental floss?!
..mouthwash,
and last, but not least,
lip balm.
- Ohh... - Wow.
- Worth playing for? - Yes.
- It'll be good. - Alright.
Contenders, you have an extra player,
you're going to need to sit someone out.
It can not be the same person in back-to-back challenges.
- Who's it going to be? - We're going to sit Steve.
Alright. Steve, you're on the bench.
Everyone else, a minute to talk about it, we'll get to it.
It could be pretty brutal.
- It's going to be pretty hard, man. - Yeah.
Yeah.
- Contenders, who are you putting on the pole first? - Big boy!
- Heath. - Yeah, Heath.
Champions, who are you putting up first?
The big fella, Brian.
- Brian. - Brian.
OK. Contenders, who are you going to put up to attack?
Robbie and Zach.
Who are you guys putting up to attack?
Let's go.
Samuel and Mat for the Champions.
Go, baby.
Alright, boys. I'll go easy on you today, eh?
Good luck, man.
I feel like I need to take my shirt off.
- Maybe you do. - Good luck out there.
Yeah, Heath.
Look at the size of him.
You're in trouble, mate.
Here we go.
On the pole for the Contenders we have Heath.
And attempting to drag him off
we have Samuel and Mat for the Champions.
On the pole for the Champions we have Brian.
Attempting to drag him off, we have Zach and Robbie for the Contenders.
Easy. Easy.
For reward, Survivors ready?
Go!
- Go, boys! Come on, boys! - Watch out, Heath.
This is very simple.
You need to get them off the pole,
drag them across the sand and over the finish line.
- It's simple, but it's not easy. - The immoveable object.
Mat and Samuel, they have Heath's arms off the pole.
But Heath's not going to let them get an inch.

They're very close with Brian... and that's it!

Yeah, boys!
It was a battle there.
He's got freakin' monkey arms. He just hangs on.
If you take both arms, they can still hold on with their legs.
If you go one leg, one arm, that's how we got that big behemoth off.
OK. Here we go. Next round.
Survivors ready? Go!
Go, girls! Let's go, girls!

They have Paige. She's almost there.
Come on!
And that's it. They have her across the line.

We are tied, one, one.
Well done, Paige.
OK, Contenders, who are you putting up?
- Big Aitchy. - The behemoth.
Heath back on the pole.
Champions?
- Steve on the pole for the Champions. - Zen Commando.
Zen Commando.
I'm taking my shirt off this time. I mean business.
You've got this, Heath.
He looks like a bad arse.
Yeah, Rob.
Stamina. I don't know if your stamina is right.
Hey.
Survivors ready?
Go, Champions!

He gains a couple of feet.

Good work, guys.
Great effort from everyone.

And they do! That's it! We are tied, two, two.
Yeah, well done, Champions.
Good job.
- It's fun, though. - It is fun.
This round is for the win.
Contenders, who are you putting on the pole?
- We're putting Jenna on the pole. - Jenna on the pole.
Champions? Who are you guys going to put up?
Jackie on the pole.
Let's go, Jenna. Easy, Jenna. Easy.

The Contenders are not far behind.
Moana is carrying Jenna.
Lydia is pulling.
Oh! Oh, my God!
Come on, girls.
What happened? Oh, no! No! No.
OK. Stop. Stop the challenge.
Is it your bad ankle?
Can we have the medic come in?
Are you alright?
What happened?
OK. OK. OK.
Is it the same like before? Yeah? OK.
Yeah.
Jenna, I think you need to sit this one out, OK?
No. No. It's OK. Don't worry.
- I'm good. - Yeah?
Yeah. I'm good.
But Jenna, like I said before,
we don't know if you've got some ligament injury there.
Put your health first, OK?
I'm good.
I want to finish this.
Jenna, listen, I love the enthusiasm but safety comes first, OK?
You've got to think about your long game. This is just one challenge.
You've got a ton ahead of you, alright?
- Well done. - Go, Jenna.
Alright. We're going to treat that as a stalemate. Score remains as is.
Alright. Here we go. We are tied. It means this round is for the win.
Survivors ready? Go!
Go, guys.
- Let's go, team. - Let's go, girls.

Back here. Back here.
Lydia is not going to give them an inch.
Moana and Sharn almost have Paige off the pole.
Get her legs! Get her legs! Get both her legs.
Get on top of her. Get on top of her.
- Champions make quick work of Paige. - Carry her.
That's it!
Lydia is off the pole now but she's still going nowhere.
Moana and Sharn dragging Paige down the course.
And that's it! Champions win reward.
Champions, congratulations. You've won your Survivor vanity.
It will be waiting for you back at camp. Grab your gear, head on out.
- Well done, team. - Good job, guys.
Alright, Contenders, I've got nothing for you.
Grab your gear, head on back to camp.
I'm absolutely devastated to be honest.
I'm so angry that I put my hand up.
Until I know what's going on,
like, this could jeopardise the whole tribe.
Jenna really hurt her ankle pretty badly,
and we're not sure, you know, how bad it is at the moment.
It could affect our game play.
Do you really... Should we just elevate it anyways?
'Cause we could just get that log.
She's extremely important to our team.
She's won three for three out of her challenges, she brings the moral.
She's a bloody tough cookie.
Are you right, bub?
I'm absolutely devastated that I put my hand up at the challenge.
What did they say?
She thinks there might be some damage to the ligament.
There's no way to tell.
And if I keep going I'm gonna do damage that can't be reversed.
So, she advises that I don't do it anymore.
It's in those moments that you start thinking about home
and what I've left behind.
Elliot, my daughter, is my entire world.
She's the reason I get up every morning.
She's the reason I do everything.
This way. Where's the park?
- Park. - Park.
Are you ready now?
I want my daughter to know that no matter what she faces in life,
no matter what is up against you,
if you actually really want something it's 100% achievable.
I've had my fair share of ups and downs
and it's just contributed to giving me the strength that I need
to face any challenges that come up in life.
I'm not gonna lay down and die
and I'm not gonna walk away from this competition.
You know, I'm not gonna throw my hands in the air and quit.
Absolutely 100% not ready to go home.
This is just the beginning and I'm gonna be here till the end,
as long as I can be.
Oh, mate, the ladies carried us alright.
Toothpaste, mints,
sugar hit.
Yeah.
Our moral has been boosted by the fact that we won the challenge.
- Cool. - Oh, pawpaw.
It's funny how simple things, you know, just lift your mood.
Oh, man.
That just feels awesome.
Oh, man.
We get to clean our teeth and, you know, feel a bit normal again.
Oh, the smell of toothpaste!
- Yum. - Mmm.
You know when you haven't flossed for ages and you can,
like, feel your teeth sort of move a fraction?
- Uh-uh. - Such a good feeling right now.
Probably doesn't happen to you 'cause you're still in your 20s.
Oh.
Look at the dirt and it's only day 10.
Yeah, it's luxury.
It's been 10 days of not looking in a mirror,
so I thought I'd just have a little glance in there
and just see how the beard's developing.
I'm not too impressed with the greys around here and there,
and also it's been 10 days since I shaved my eyebrows.
So, I was just making sure that hasn't been connected.
Just a couple of little plucks there
just to make sure I've got two eyebrows.
- Oh! - That's a good effort.
- That IS a good effort. - That's a meal.
Mmm!
Survivor isn't easy, and now all the games are being played.
I'm just glad I'm on the top of it, not on the bottom of it.
Yeah, absolutely.
There's 10 people left in our tribe.
I have a loyalty alliance to Mat and I have a loyalty alliance to Sharn.
- Yeah. - We have a team pact.
It's not Bachelor In Paradise...
..it's Survivor.
And there's only one winner.
And now I've got an Idol that protects me,
so I'm in a pretty good bloody position.
Hope so.
But I just feel like, you know...
The boys are all about strength.
They're all about testosterone and strength.
I'm sick of them and I can't wait to take them down.
We would love to get Zach out.
Zach honestly just thinks he's, like, God's gift to life.
That's literally what it's like hanging around him.
Steve is pretty intelligent.
He's, like, nestling in.
I'm not an idiot, I can see the boys are, like, warming to him.
Those ones there, like, they're this size.
And all we need is numbers.
Remember your training, Paige!
You guys are making me really nervous!
I'm not sure if Paige is working with the boys or not.
But once we get Jenna, Tegan and Heath coming on board with us...
The boys are in trouble.
Yeah.
The girls are coming for them.
Come on in, guys.
Sharn, there's an interesting pattern developing here,
the Champions have won every single reward challenge so far,
yet you've lost the last two immunity challenges.
- Yep. - What do you think's going on?
I dunno. I don't know what it is.
The reward challenges are great
but if we can do the same in the immunity challenge,
obviously they're the ones we want to win.
Brian, you must have seen this before in your footy career,
you lose a couple of games in a row, what can you do to turn it around?
We're doing a lot right. Um, I guess the last couple of times, um,
a little bit of luck hasn't gone our way.
So the tide will turn. Eventually, it will turn.
Anita, you're shaking your head.
What do you think gives the Contenders
an edge over the Champions when it comes to immunity challenges?
It's really simple, we want it more.
Mat, would you agree that they want it more?
No. I doubt it. They probably want it,
um, but they've gotta get it
and they've gotta get through us to do that,
so we'll see how the chips fall at the end of the day.
Alright, you guys ready to get to today's immunity challenge?
Yes.
First things first.
There's a sense of reluctance.
There is.
Once again, immunity is back up for grabs.
For today's challenge,
you're gonna chop through a rope to release a giant ball.
You'll then roll it under a net
and come to a steep ramp
where you'll use another rope, first, to scale the ramp
and then again to hoist the ball over the top.
Finally, you'll throw the rope over the beam
and swing the ball at targets.
First tribe to smash all four targets wins immunity,
is safe from the vote.
Losing tribe, there's gonna be a trip to Tribal Council
where one of you will become the fourth person
voted out of this game.
Contenders, you have an extra player, you're gonna need to sit someone out,
cannot be the same person in back-to-back challenges.
Who's it gonna be?
- Gonna be Jenna. - Jenna? You're on the bench.
Everyone else, a minute to talk about it and we'll get started.
Should be a good one.
Alright, here we go.
Swinging for the Champions, we have Shane and Mat.
For the Contenders, we have Heath and Steve.
Jenna on the bench.
For immunity. Survivors ready?
Come on, Zach, you've got it.
You need to chop through three sections of rope
to release that ball.
Good job, Zach.
Zach is first up for the Contenders.
Samuel, first up for the Champions
and they've both made quick work of that first section.
Good work, Benji.
Benji and Brian on the second section, Brian whips through that.
He hands it over to Steve.
Champions are pulling ahead now.
Yes! Go, go, go.
Rob trying to get in on that third section.
Go hard.
And that's it! The Champions have released their ball!
Go, Champions!
Go, Contenders!
Let's pick it up!
You need to get that ball under the net and over the speed humps.
It is awkward.
Come on, guys! We've got it.
That's it!
Go, go, go!
Champions are through.
And up the wall!
You need to hook ball onto the rope
and get everyone at the top of the ramp.
Benji throws himself up the ramp for the Contenders.
- Go, Benji! - Help 'em up.
Go, Benji!
Come on, Jackie.
Go, go, go.
Go! Pull! Pull!
Jackie's struggling for the Champions.
Pull! Pull!
- How do I... - Push up.
- Go! - Come on, Jackie.
- Get up! - Pull yourself up.
- Come on, Jackie. - Push. Put your foot underneath.
Jackie is a roadblock for the Champions.
This is gonna cost them precious time.
- Come on, Jackie. Push. - Put your foot underneath!
Get up!
That's it. That's it.
Meantime, the Contenders are whipping through it.
Go! Good job, over.
That's it, they're all up.
Go, Benji! Go down.
Jackie's finally up.
Go, Jack! Down the slide.
Go, just jump and go!
Down! Down!
Contenders are almost all down the pole.
Champions still struggling.
They have half of their tribe yet to get over the ramp.
That's it, Contenders.
Untie the rope and start pulling on the ball.
Untie that knot!
Contenders are struggling now.
Untie it, guys!
OK, Champions are over.
We gotta get it under.
Need to hoist that ball all the way to the top.
Give me the end of that rope. Give me the end of that rope.
Contenders are working away at those knots.
Champions were behind in this challenge
but now they're pulling ahead!
Need the boys to pull. Pull! Pull! Pull!
That's it, Champions get it over.
Now you need to get it over the hitching post.
Yeah.
Contenders, they have it over.
Alright, everyone needs to be behind the hitching rail.
Only the swingers on the ball.
Go, Robbie!
Contenders, they have it over.
There's a lot of rope management here.
Shane, position the middle!
Get the ball in the middle, Shane!
Swingers need to get the rope over the beam.
Just one... just one hit, that's all you need.
Nice. Big breath.
Heath lines it up, takes a shot, he misses.
Mat also misses.
Mat versus Heath, we're neck and neck at this stage.
Let's go, Mat.
You got this, Matty. Precision.
Not too much rope, Mat, have a lead!
Right, you got this, Heath.
Let him go. Let him go. Yeah!
Heath goes again.
And he gets it over.
Come on, Mat. Come on, Mat.
Contenders are now pulling on the rope, raising the ball up.
Come on!
There's a lot of coordination
between the swingers and the pullers.
- Tell us when to drop! - Not yet. Not yet.
The swingers need to get enough momentum on that ball
to get it over the target
but the pullers are the ones who need to drop it on the target.
No, they come up short.
Pull back. Pull back!
- Higher. Higher. - Come on!
In the meantime, Mat is really struggling with that rope.
Come on, Mat.
Oh, Mat frustrated.
Every toss of that rope is taking it out of him.
- Come on, Mat. You got this. - Come on, Mat.
Contenders are gonna have another shot.
- Come on, Red. - Wait till full swing.
Big swing from the Contenders.
- Now! - Go!
The Contenders get their first target!
Contenders lead one-zip.
In the meantime, the Champions, until they get that rope up there,
they are nowhere in this challenge.
Mat misses again with the rope.
Think of something different.
Gotta change it up.
Next one.
Now!
Contenders come up short on the second target.
Mat, they're only one break in front of us.
Rest of the Champions, desperate to get in on this.
Matty, what about just grabbing it, try and go over.
Through the legs.
And that's it! Mat gets it over, finally.
We have a challenge.
Come on, Champions, you need to pick this up if you wanna stay in!
Mat, trying to pick up some lost time here.
Now!
Champions... were way behind in this challenge.
Contenders had a huge lead
but it gave the Champions an opportunity
to watch them struggle with the technique.
Just like that, they smash the first one!
We are tied 1-1!
Higher? Heath, what do you want?
- Higher! - Higher, higher, guys.
Listen to Heath!
- Tell us when, big boy. - Next one, guys.
This one. On the end, on the end.
- Now! - Yes!
Contenders smash another target.
The Contenders lead 2-1.
Run through it, Heath.
Heath has some momentum now.
He's hungry for the third target.
- Yes! - Now!
Oh! Very close for the Contenders.
- Come on, Mat, big push! - Push.
- Now! - Yes!
The Champions smash their second target, we're tied 2-2.
Keep pushing. Keep pushing.
Come on, Heath. Come on, Heath!
It looked like it was gonna be a blow-out
but the Champions have caught up
and it's now a very, very close challenge.
Come a little less, guys. Come a little less.
- Too high, too high. - Little less with the rope.
Put it down. Put it down a bit. Put it down.
Now!
The Champions smash the third one.
That's a hole! That's a hole.
OK, hold it. Don't pull.
Champions are now leading 3-2!
Run through it, Heath. Run through it, Heath. You've gotta run through it.
Champions are one tile away from pulling off a huge comeback.
They were so far behind in this challenge.
Mat's gonna go for the win here.
No. Ball hits the ground, loses momentum.
The pressure's on the Contenders now!
Go, go, go, go!
- Yes! - Oh, the Contenders tie it up again.
3-3!
He's spent. He's spent.
- Come on, Heath. - Suck it up, Heath!
- Come on, Heath! One more! - Come on, go!
Heath is getting exhausted, swinging that heavy ball by himself.
- Come on! - Push it through!
- Come on! - Now!
Shane, gets the ball moving again.
Champions desperate to avoid Tribal Council.
Pressure's on to get that fourth one and that's it!
The Champions take the fourth one and win immunity
sending the Contenders to Tribal Council!
Matty! Well done.
Go, Matty!
Champions, congratulations, immunity is yours.
Come and grab it.
You guys are safe.
Grab your gear, head on out, enjoy the afternoon.
Let's go, guys.
Contenders, I will be seeing you guys tonight at Tribal
where one of you will become the fourth person
Champions v Contenders.
Grab your gear, head on out. See you tonight.
This immunity challenge was so frustrating to lose
because we were so far ahead.
But it is a little bit of a positive thing for this to be going down
because now we can take the girls out.
Good effort today, guys.
- That was a really close one. - So close.
It was just so close.
Losing is incredibly hard.
Especially when you come really close.
But, you know, unfortunately we're going to Tribal tonight.
We did the best that we can, and that's all we've got to be proud of.
It's little things,
we just need to sort of learn from all these challenges.
Go forward. Like, always be positive.
We can't beat ourselves up over it.
But at tonight's Tribal Council I'm feeling pretty good.
I'm feeling confident and I'm feeling pretty safe.
Yeah, and it starts with 'Steve'.
I've had really good chats with the girls.
I know that the girls are gonna vote Steve.
- I feel bad. - I know, he's a really cute guy.
But, I mean, it is a game.
I don't know.
But maybe he's, like, the most dangerous one out of everyone.
I feel pretty confident I know what's gonna happen tonight.
In saying that, I'm really trying to make sure
I balance that with my chats with the boys.
They're really being, you know, dominant right now.
We seem to have the wider alliance in the whole tribe,
Benji, Rob and Zach.
And then there's Jenna, Heath and Tegan.
Are we all on the same page tonight?
Who are we going? "Paige tonight," eh?
Classic.
- Try and keep it strong. - Yeah, that's what I reckon too.
We need to win those challenges I think.
Yeah, I think it's Shonee.
I'm happy to start with Shonee.
It's absolutely nothing against Shonee,
but I really do have to look after my own place in the tribe
and I really have to just go with the boys.
They have power in this game.
So, that's why we'll be voting Shonee tonight.
Yes.
After that conversation at the well we decided to go with Shonee.
But that was just a little bit of deceit,
when in fact the plan is to blindside Paige.
See, we're pretty tight with Steve
and we're kind of in a position where we can kind of guide his vote.
You wanna use that rather than get rid of it. Why get rid of that now?
With Heath and Tegan on board,
the plan from here is just to cut out all the rest of the girls.
So, there's another three girls that are hanging around the bottom.
We've got Fenella, Shonee and Anita.
We'll just systematically wipe them out.
Yeah.
At the moment I think there's definitely
a bit of a divide between the boys and the girls.
Currently I'm aligned with Jenna and Heath.
We've got the little parents' alliance.
Robbie, Benji and Zach are tight
and if they get too much control they're gonna take over.
At the moment, the boys are going to vote Paige
and the girls are going to vote Steve.
We don't know what we're gonna do.
We've gotta weigh up all our options.
It IS a tricky one.
The boys are definitely becoming a little bit too comfortable.
The moment we get rid of Steve, the boys should start worrying.
Yeah, they are. They are.
We've got your back though, bro.
So, as long as you vote Paige it's all good.
I'm doing that. But from us four, we've got H on board, have we?
H, Tegan and Jenna.
OK, well, that's it. It will be a great Tribal Council.
Us four, H, Tegan and Jenna. That's seven people.
Paige has no idea that her mates are coming for her.
She is just going to be so shocked when they snuff her torch.
She's gonna be like, "Oh! Why me?
"Oh, my God, I can't believe you guys voted for me."
Well, you talk too much.
Oh, it's gonna be sweet!
- Are you gonna vote that, or... - Yeah.
Tonight, the Fantastic Four, we've got Paige already locked in.
That we are. It's gonna be tonight.
I mean, there's a slight chance
that they'll be voting against me,
but do your backstabbing as you like.
It doesn't really matter, we've got the number.
Tonight's gonna be the biggest blindside ever done.
I'm laughing. I'm laughing right now.
Well, Contenders, it's been a while since you were at tribal,
but last time you were here,
Matt suggested that there was a clear divide
between the boys and girls.
Fenella, would you agree with that?
Um, I mean, I don't know if there's a clear divide at all.
There's definitely little segregations happening,
and there's people that click together more than others.
But if there's a full gender male-female tribe happening,
I'm not aware of it.
Zach, a Survivor tribe
can sometimes be like an Aussie barbecue, you know,
the boys go on one side and drink their beers,
the girls on the other side with their wine.
I mean, it's kind of a natural progression.
Yeah. I mean, absolutely.
You often get, you know, the guys just hanging out
and the girls just doing their own thing,
but that doesn't mean we're not cohesive as a group.
Can I just say, at a barbecue, I drink the beer.
So, are the girls bonding, do you think, Anita?
Oh, absolutely.
I've got relationships with every one of these girls.
Sure, it's quite clear that I'm close with these two
but, you know, I've chatted with Jenna late in the night
and, you know, Teegs and I are mums, you know,
and we share that common interest.
And, you know, even Paige and I.
I have a really good relationship with all the girls here.
Benji, do you think these gender-based friendships
could have an impact on tonight's vote?
I don't think they will at all.
Is that true, Jenna?
Because I'm doing the numbers
and the girls have six and the boys have five.
Should they be worried?
I don't think it matters what side of the fence you're on,
whether you're a male or a female,
we're all here to play the game.
And the goal at the moment is to take out the Champs.
And to do that, you know,
tonight we'll do what we have to do and we'll stay strong.
Rob, do you think there's a majority going on who are dictating the vote?
Um...
Yeah, there's a majority.
Tegan, Rob agreed that there probably is a majority tonight.
Do you think you're part of that majority?
I HOPE I'm a part of the majority.
You know, no-one wants to be on the bottom.
So I'm just trusting the people I spoke with
that we're gonna do what we said we would do.
Heath, how important is it to you to align to the right people?
Oh, it is very important.
Um, aligning with the right people means
we get further and further through the game.
But picking those people to align with is very difficult.
Those people that you might think are right now
could be the wrong people to align with later on down the track.
What about for you, Steve?
How do you establish trust in this game?
I call it male intuition.
For me, I kind of like...
It takes a long time for me to get to know people,
to be comfortable with people and to start trusting them.
So people might think I'm a little bit antisocial and all that stuff.
That's not the case, I'm just trying to establish bonds and trust.
Benji, how do you work out who you can trust in this game?
You really do have to trust some people, you know,
like, you can have a genuine conversation one on one
and look into their eyes
and actually feel like they're there with you,
and not thinking about 30 days from now.
So, how do you figure that out,
who's the right person to align with?
Male intuition.
But, Rob, can you ever really trust anyone in this game?
No, you can't trust fully someone in this game.
But the way I determine trust is how much someone opens up to me.
You know, we have these open conversations
and, you know, really look into their eyes
and basically see, are they actually genuinely talking to me,
or are they just trying to, you know, plant a seed in my head
and trying to, you know, gain my trust to use my vote?
For me, my vote's going down to,
who can I trust and who's loyal to the tribe?
All this talk about looking into each other's eyes,
I'm starting to think we're on The Bachelor or something.
I don't really know what to think anymore.
All this romance talk, like...
What, are we here to... run away in the sunset together
or play Survivor?
Zach, do you think you're gonna be surprised by tonight vote?
I'm feeling pretty confident I know where the vote lies tonight, yeah.
What about you, Steve?
Are you pretty confident you know how this is gonna play out?
I had a lot of discussion with a lot of people.
And I... I've got a good feel about it.
- You've got a good feeling about it? - Yes. Yes.
What about you, Anita?
Are you pretty confident you know how this is gonna play out?
Oh, absolutely.
I'm all for besties,
and I'm sticking with my alliance, and that's it.
Heath, what do you think the tribe should remember
when they go up to vote?
That this is anyone's game.
Uh, everyone sitting here tonight has to be worried.
We're only 11 days in.
People are backstabbing, people are lying, people are cheating,
to get themselves further and further through this game,
so if you sit up here and you think that you're safe,
you know, I think you're kidding yourself.
There's a long way to go.
Alright, well, I think it is time to vote.
Shonee, you're up.
Jenna.
I love you, girl, I just don't trust you.
Mate, I am sure you're really nice in little doses,
but living with you full-time is just way too much for me.
You've gotta go.
I'll go count the votes.
If anyone has a hidden immunity idol and you 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, Steve.
Steve.
That's three votes Steve.
Shonee.
That's three votes Steve, one vote Shonee.
Paige.
That's three votes Steve, one vote Shonee, one vote Paige.
Paige.
We're tied, three votes Steve, three votes Paige,
one vote Shonee.
Paige.
That's four votes to Paige, three votes Steve, one vote Shonee.
Steve.
We're tied again, four votes Steve, four votes Paige, one vote Shonee.
Steve.
The fourth person voted out
Champions v Contenders...
..Steve.
You need to bring me your torch.
Steve, the tribe has spoken.
Time for you to go.
Mm.
It's been an honour, guys.
Bye, Steve!
Bye, Steve.
Well, tonight there was a lot of talk
about the importance of creating trust,
but the result of that vote might have just broken it.
Grab your torches, head back to camp.
Tomorrow night on Australian Survivor...
The people who voted for me lied to my face.
..feeling blindsided, Paige scrambles to secure alliances...
I don't know what my other option is.
..while tribes and players...
Let's go!
..fight to survive.
- Brian! - Where are you steering it?
But as the pressure to win increases...
Aaagh!
- Agh! - Look out! Get up!
..will they push too far?
I just feel so surreal right now, to be voted off so quickly.
But the social politics,
it's a little bit more intense than I expected.
Sorry, Steve. Gotta go with the majority tonight, mate.
But, you know, that's how the game's played.
You've been here nine days too long, mate, time to go.
But no regrets, I've been playing the game
the way how I thought I needed to play from day one,
in a deceptive way, as best as I can.
I had a lot of fun.
