Previously on Australian Survivor...
Fight!
The Contenders kicked off on the wrong foot...
Oh, no, no!
..when Jenna's injured ankle was dealt another blow...
Can we have the medic come in?
I wanna finish this.
..another reward lost.
The Champions win reward!
Look at the axe! The axe.
They looked certain to win immunity...
Pull back!
The Contenders are whipping through it.
Come on, Mat, big push!
..but the Champions' winning streak...
Hold it. Don't pull.
..continued.
Champions win immunity, sending the Contenders to tribal council!
At camp, Steve stayed strong with the Fantastic Four...
- We got your back there, bro. - Yeah.
I'm a little bit like a puppet master.
..while the girls wanted him out.
Steve has to go immediately.
Oh, my God, I need him out.
Paige tried to play both sides...
- I think it's Shonee. - I'm happy to start with Shonee.
..unsuccessfully.
The seven alliance, we decided to go with Shonee,
when in fact, the plan is to blindside Paige.
She's just gonna be so shocked when they snuff her torch.
In the end...
Sorry, Steve.
..Heath, Tegan and Jenna...
You've been here nine days too long, mate.
..blindsided the boys' alliance.
Steve, the tribe has spoken.
20 are left. Who will be going home tonight?
Yeah.
- I can't... - Do you have your games?
With Mat, like, I just... I've got so much respect for him.
He comes from a team sport, like I do, so he gets it.
Him and I connect on a much greater level than just friends.
I sort of feel like he's a big brother
and that's why he's got my idol.
Yeah.
The tribe, I just feel like they're a big family.
Man, I love them.
They've been pretty awesome.
We're a big family.
Yeah.
Waking up on day 12, um,
wasn't the best feeling I've had so far.
I pretty much woke up and felt most alone I've felt since day one.
The last tribal council really threw me for a six.
It turns out that Zach, Rob and Benji all voted for me.
The people who voted for me
were the people I actually thought I could trust in this game.
They lied to my face and said all of this crap
and pretended to be these other people.
But, you know, at the end of the day,
I don't know what my other option is at this point.
Ugh, Paige.
There's one person I really have a tough time with.
"Oh, my God, why would you say that?
"I'm, like, so offended."
Ugh.
I thought I was on the right side of the vote last time
and Paige was going home.
Turns out I was seriously misled.
Heath and Tegan flipped over and now, we're stuck with Paige.
That's how we roll out here. A la carte, isn't it?
Blow on it.
Smoked crab. Funny.
Takes for granted how easy food comes.
That's right.
As I was saying, the great thing about when I head home,
everything will just be magical, you open a fridge, it's like,
"Oh, God, I have a device that is filled with food!"
Every day has got a little bit easier
and you're building great relationships
and I really enjoy the company of this tribe.
Hey, Brian.
But, you know, sometimes,
people aren't pulling their weight around camp.
Brian is generally lazy around camp.
I mean, he does step up every now and then and do a little bit.
I mean, I don't know why they're lying down, we're here to play.
I mean, why are they lazing about?
I'm like, dudes, there's heaps of stuff to do.
- Yep. Stir the rice. - But I can't...
- Do something. - Yep. It's like with the fire.
Like, I went away and did something for...
- And it goes out. - I come back and it was nearly out.
The people are sitting there, I'm thinking,
"All you had to do was just chuck a stick on."
- Yeah. - Like, a couple of sticks. Not hard.
- Not hard! - Not hard.
- It's alright, though. - I'm alright.
Sometimes it makes...
..writing people's names down a bit...
- Maybe that's right. - When the time comes.
That gives you a reason.
Maybe I'll put a stick on the fire.
- Yep, alright. - This stick can go on the fire.
I think Brian's put the biggest target on his back for being lazy.
I mean, Brian, at this stage in the game, is important
because of his height and he's physically strong,
but, as soon as we don't need that anymore,
he'll be the first, I would think, to go.
Well, we've got a lot of guys that like to do a lot of stuff.
Let them do it.
I'm not gonna say, "Steve, you just stop, mate,
"stop collecting firewood, let Brizer take over." Uh-uh.
Where's Brian gone?
I don't need to prove my physical ability to the tribe.
I'm playing the mental game.
If there's any loophole we can get a slight advantage,
you'd take that any day of the week.
So I call it 'Brian time', just walking off every now and then,
gives me a little bit more time to think, to mentally get that edge.
And that's the big picture of,
"Yes, I wanna be the Sole Survivor and win $500,000."
Ah, man, to be honest, feeling pretty flat at the moment.
You know, obviously, I did hurt my ankle again yesterday.
Oh, no! No!
Oh, my God!
OK, stop. Stop the challenge.
Can we have the medic come in?
Jenna, I think you need to sit this one out, OK?
It's OK, it's OK. Don't worry. Don't worry.
I definitely feel that I'm the easy vote,
purely because of my injury.
But being in Survivor is a dream come true, you know?
I'm not gonna throw my hands in the air and quit.
If I had it my own way, you know, I'd rip this stupid thing off my leg
and I'd be straight back in there, mate.
- Are you right? - Yeah, yeah.
I do have an alliance with Heath and Tegan within the tribe.
Then I've also got the girls on my side,
so hopefully we can take each other further in the game.
I'm a very competitive person and this is Survivor
and I'm here to win.
Come on in, guys.
Champions getting their first look at the new Contenders tribe.
Steve voted out last tribal council.
Predictable.
We're shocked, mate. Shocked.
Samuel, you said you were shocked.
Yeah, we're not really that shocked.
We've seen Steve struggling
to pull his weight in the challenges a few times.
So, yeah, we all thought it might be Steve going home.
So, you were sarcastic, you weren't shocked.
Oh, I'm never sarcastic, mate.
Fantastic.
And we really think big Heath should be the next to go.
He's just not pulling his weight.
Paige, what was the feeling after tribal last night?
Um... it was a pretty weird feeling after tribal last night.
It, you know, wasn't an unanimous vote,
so the votes were definitely split across the tribe.
So, naturally that's gonna make everyone
start to question their relationship.
Alright, let's switch gears.
Rob, what was on the breakfast menu this morning at Camp Contenders?
We had some papaya and we had some rice.
Same old thing every day, Jono.
Fenella, what would you really love for lunch today?
Oh, my God! Well, Jonathan...
You wanna put your order in?
Chicken schnitty, it seems to be the tribe's undoing.
A burger would be good.
Brian, what about you? What are you missing here the most?
Um...
Yeah, a pot and parma would be nice. Some chips on the side.
I'll even eat the salad too, if you've got that.
Alright, for today's challenge...
..you're gonna use three barrels and two planks
to transport eight tribe members across the field
without touching the ground.
Once you're across,
last two tribemates will use a grappling hook
to retrieve four balls
which you will then attempt to balance on a seesawing frame.
First tribe to balance all their balls on the frame wins reward.
Want to know what you're playing for?
- Yes! - Come on, baby! Come on!
Winning tribe will get to spend the afternoon at a Survivor Aussie pub.
Beer!
Feasting on meat pies with tomato sauce
and washing it all down with ice-cold beer.
Worth playing for?
Oh, my God, I'm gonna cry.
Alright, a minute to talk about it. We'll get to it.
Game on, bitches.
Hey, guys...
Guys, I've got to go on the end and balance, I can't run,
I can't carry anyone because of my ankle.
Yeah. Yeah, yeah. Yeah, yeah.
I want that pie, man.
Alright, here we go.
Grappling for the Contenders we have Zach and Jenna,
for the Champions Brian and Jackie.
For a very nice reward, Survivors ready?
Go!
I reckon we could roll them.
First part of the challenge is very simple, three barrels, two planks.
That's it, that's it. Plank. Plank coming. Plank coming, Stevo.
You need to figure out the most effective way to use those items
to get eight people across the field without touching the ground.
They're heavy. They're heavy.
You step off and touch the ground
you need to go all the way back to the start.
If the plank touches the ground, you need to go back to the start.
- Oh, shit. - Whoa.
The Champions have an early lead.
Stay on that plank. Stay on that plank, Lydia.
Squeeze up, squeeze up. Go that way.
As long as weight doesn't come off this end,
'cause I'll be standing on it, come across.
This is all about working out a system.
Not easy getting all eight people across at once.
Champions have a nice system going on over there.
Playing for the first food reward.
Hold me, hold me!
Hold me!
Keep going, Robbie. Roll it out further.
You got it, you got it, you got it! Yeah, beast mode.
Hold me, hold me, hold me, hold me!
Huge effort from Robbie.
Clearly sick of papaya for breakfast.
He's working hard.
I want that meat pie.
Great job, team, great job.
Champions still have a lead by a full barrel.
Hey, Matty, don't touch the ground there, Matty.
You're getting pretty close, Matty.
Oi, Matty.
Heath, I'll give you 20 bucks if you fall.
I'll give you 50!
Hold this. Squeeze up.
Mat and Steve in charge of manoeuvring those barrels
from back to front.
A ninja manoeuvre.
Ah, Van Damme.
Look at that.
Robbie struggling to reach that front barrel.
The Contenders have lost every reward so far.
They really wanna win. Been struggling a little bit.
Can't quite seem to coordinate the whole tribe.
Girls, we need to come back on this back block
to give the boys as much room as possible.
The Champions are very close here.
- Steve jumps off. - Go.
Contenders are still struggling.
Straighten it up on the same side, guys.
They're still two barrels away from the end zone.
Two more left for the Champions.
Monika, Mat.
Go, Champions.
One at a time. Look out for the grapple! Look out for the grapple!
Brian and Jackie on the grappling hook.
Throw it, throw it, throw it. Let's go, Brian.
You've got this, mate.
This is your go. This is your go, mate.
Yeah.
- That's it! - Easy, easy, easy, easy.
- Brian snags the rope. - Yeah, brother. Yeah, brother.
Good work. Good work, good work, mate.
OK, Jackie needs to hook her two now.
Contenders are still working away back there.
- A bit more, a bit more. Come on. - Yep.
Slow and steady.
Easy now. Nice.
Just keep that tempo.
Very nice.
OK, Champions have all their balls.
Alright, you can move on to the frame.
Robbie struggling with that last barrel.
He's completely out of gas.
This is it. This is it.
Lift him up! Lift him up!
The shoulders. Stand on the shoulders. We've got you.
The Champions have to have all four balls balanced on the frame.
You're alright. You're on Mat. You've got this. We've got you. We've got you.
It's gonna take a lot of coordination between everyone
to make this work.
The Champions really struggling to work out
how to make all these balls balance at the same time.
Try to let it go up too. Let it go up.
- I can't, mate, it's weighted. - Oh, is it?
Let's see if the astrophysicist can figure out
how the part of the challenge works.
I'm just trying to get the ring hooked around.
- Alright, the Contenders are across. - Move out the way, move out the way.
Go, Zach!
Zach's on the grappling hook.
Yeah, boy!
Just like that, he hooks the first two balls.
On the mat, on the mat.
- Alright, Jenna. - Let's go.
Champions had a huge lead.
So, do that again.
Contenders are closing the gap.
Yes!
Yes! Yes! Yes!
Contenders have their last two balls.
Alright, go, Contenders. Start working on the frame.
- Yeah. - Pass the ball up, guys.
Let's just go. Position up.
The Champions have two balls up there.
How are they going to reach the other two?
And just like that, one of their balls drops.
They're starting to realise that precision is key here.
No, opposites. Opposites, opposites. Let's go, let's go.
Paige. Push her up, push her up.
We've gotta do both at the same time, guys. Both at the same time.
Contenders trying to put their second ball on the frame.
Just wait, just wait, just wait.
- OK. - OK, both let go same time.
Contenders have two balls up.
Go! Next one. Next one.
Come round here. Here, here.
Again, again. Same thing.
Contenders can taste victory.
Champions have learnt the hard way that you need to have two teams,
one either side, working simultaneously.
This is gonna be hard, alright? You've gotta stabilise us.
The Contenders were really struggling
in the first part of this challenge,
but they have really settled into a nice rhythm here.
They've worked it out.
Paige is trying to get that last ball balanced.
You need to have all the balls balanced.
No.
Oh, no, disaster strikes!
They've knocked the frame, they lose two balls they had up there.
Alright, Mat, let me know when you're in.
Once again we are neck and neck.
- I'm in. - OK, let go on three, two, one.
Champions have figured it out now.
- Jump down. - Next one.
They're gonna work on the last two now.
Someone on my left, someone on my right. Someone hold the ball.
- You hold the ball. - The Champions opening up a lead.
Go!
The Contenders were so close. Panic starting to settle in.
Everyone wants that pie and beer.
Mat and Samuel coordinating their efforts.
They can taste victory here.
OK, let go on three, two, one.
And that's it, Champions win reward.
Champions, congratulations. A tasty reward is waiting for you.
The Survivor pub is open for business.
Grab your gear, head on out, enjoy.
- Well done, guys. - Well done. Enjoy.
Don't get too drunk.
Rob, you put a lot of effort in this challenge
and I can see that you're clearly upset.
Yeah, look, it's pretty frustrating.
Not just today's challenge,
but every single reward challenge that we go up against.
We're so, so close in every single challenge.
I'm just frustrated.
Not, like, in any of us, but just we're so close,
but just it would have been good to win today.
Well, I'm sure you're sick of me saying this,
but I've got nothing for you.
Grab your gear, head on out.
Better luck next time.
Thanks, mate.
We're just losing these challenges, and I'm such a competitive person
that it's really starting to frustrate me, you know.
Like, we're so close, but yet so far.
And we're missing out on food now, we're sending people home.
It's a shit situation.
Really annoying me now.
Whew!
How good would a pie be about now?
And a coffee!
We're so close every time, guys, aren't we?
- But it's just a pie. - It is just a pie.
It would've lasted for a couple of hours.
I know you guys would've really loved it, but...
Let's put some beans on, or...
- Yummy! - ..you know.
Momentum is a huge thing in sport.
Once a team has momentum, trying to pull that back off them,
gain a little bit yourself,
it's really, really tough.
Your team's gonna be decimated, go to the merge down numbers.
Goodnight.
We've gotta stop putting Paige in those positions.
She was going like this, and she was, like, trying to put it in.
Yeah. Had to hold it...
I was like, "That's gonna knock everything else..."
Just put the ball in on top.
And she refused to trade out.
And refused to change.
- Oh, really? I didn't know. - Like, she just kept holding onto the thing, yeah.
We need to beat them in one of those reward challenges.
Yeah, we do.
I'm just not used to having my arse kicked like this repeatedly, you know?
I've been playing competitive sport for a long time.
This is just... this is getting out of hand.
It's tough. It's tough to take.
I mean, I hate saying it
but, clearly, the guys are the strongest in the challenges.
There is no reason why I couldn't put Benji on my shoulders, honestly.
Like, what do you weigh, Benji, like, 80 kilos, man?
- I squat double that. - Exactly.
Like...
The girls really struggle with it.
They couldn't even place a ball inside a little balance thing
or stay up on our shoulders.
Then we went and practised it down on the beach,
Robbie got on my shoulders, and we were just nailing it.
Yep?
I'd kind of like to even up numbers when it comes to gender,
so right now would be a good time to get rid of a girl.
- That's real easy, man. - Easy.
- See that, Zach? - Does my head in.
Absolutely does my head in.
I'm sick of carrying these girls.
Jenna's hurt, and Paige is completely useless.
My back hurts. My back hurts from carrying all these people.
Yeah.
Well, the reward from the challenge
was a beach Aussie pub.
- We're here! - Yay!
The set-up was amazing.
We made it!
Rock down the beach, there's this beautiful beach hut with a bar...
- Where are the pies? - Let me at it.
..and a good old pie oven.
Alright, we have vegie, chicken, beef and lamb.
What can I get you?
Good job, everyone!
Eating rice and beans for 12 days...
Lamb pie.
- Chicken? - Keep that beef coming.
- Beef. One beef. - I'll have chicken.
..and then knowing you're about to sink your teeth
into this wonderful meat pie,
amazing.
Oh! Bon appetit!
What a beast!
To us champions!
Reward challenge champions!
Oh...
Not gonna lie to you, this was a lot better than the toothbrush.
- Yeah. - Yeah.
How good's this?
Eh?
In most pubs, there's usually photos or memorabilia.
What about this young fella here? This bloke?
And there it was.
Aww!
Wow.
A photo wall with all of us in there.
Aww!
Yeah.
- Oh, how cool's that, Matty? - That's really cool.
Seeing everyone in all their glory was a reminder,
these people are champions of their field.
That's really cool. Yeah.
It was fantastic to see that.
What are the stories in the pictures here?
What about yours, Lydia?
So, for aerial, um, we have like a World Cup tour.
And so, that Crystal Globe is for the overall winner.
That was in... 2009, I think, in Russia.
Russia? Wow.
That was the finale. Putin was there.
- Yeah? - Wow.
Old Vlad?
Yeah, the photo board was really cool.
I mean, I obviously saw a photo of myself,
which, you know, I'm not that interested in,
but I wanted to hear everyone else's stories of their photos,
and the story behind it.
- Brian? - Mine was 2013.
Cohen, he was six, Mylee was three.
That's the year I won the Norm Smith Medal as well.
I was 100 to 1 to win it.
One of my mates, who was in the crowd, afterwards...
I thought, I'll get the premiership cup and show him,
"How good's this?"
And all he did was just showed me the ticket, and went,
"Look at this! Look at this!"
He put 20 bucks on it, so he won 2 grand!
He goes, "My shout for drinks!"
I went, "Guess what, mate, I've just won a premiership.
"I'm pretty sure I don't have to pay for one."
Mine was purely 'cause I needed an updated action shot for Instagram.
- Come on, Sammy. - Mr Volcano Builder.
Oh... I used to... You know, they'd have, like,
a weekly, like, science experiment, or whatever you made thing.
And I made this volcano system.
How old were you there, Sam?
Six, I think.
And you made a volcano system at six!
That actually worked.
- Yeah, that worked. - Yeah, yeah.
Well, they had me do this in front of the whole school.
That had me... I thought it was gonna be in front of my class
and then they pulled me up on assembly,
and they pushed all the kids back so there was a bunch of metres.
And it was just, you know, bicarb soda and vinegar.
- I didn't know that. - And... Yeah, 'cause it foams up and whatnot.
And I was like, "And now you blah-blah-blah."
And it... ..everywhere.
Made a mess on the carpet and, uh...
But, you know... Everyone loved it.
I thought it was funny, you know.
That's awesome.
Shane? What about that?
Oh, that's a cool pic, Shane.
That was after one of my races.
- How old were you there? - I was 15 and 9 months.
- Wow! - 15 and 9 months.
How many world records had you got at that time?
- Uh, I think I had them all. - Oh, wow.
All the freestyle ones.
And the 200 medley. 100, 200, 400...
Yeah, 100, 200, 400, 800 and 1,500.
And the 200 IM.
And, yeah, no... no goggles.
And that was the Australian swimsuit.
Do you still have it?
No. It's in a museum. So...
That was my treasured swimsuit.
I had it for years and years, yeah.
They're an amazing group of people, our champions.
I mean, Shane Gould, you know, she's an absolute champion.
I never saw back then when she did that.
And that's a huge achievement.
What about your photo, Mat?
Uh, well, that's my little man Max.
He's everything to us.
You know, he changed our life, that's for sure.
Yeah, so, when Maxy was two,
we got a diagnosis that he was autistic.
I think that was 2009, that photo.
We couldn't take him into crowds or on public transport
or anything like that, 'cause he would just wig out.
And this was the year
that he sort of finally came out of his shell a bit.
And he used to love running onto the field to me after the game.
And he'd give me a cuddle, and I'd walk around the field with him,
and he started to...
That's when we really sort of saw just the progress with him,
and it was just...
I love that photo.
Such a cool photo.
So, the diagnosis was probably the hardest thing
that we went through with Max.
None of us saw it coming.
You know, we were... just sort of thought Max was developing slowly.
And when that diagnosis came, it probably just...
..it knocked us for six, really.
It was a real tough time.
Stop it, Max. Put it in the goal.
Whoops!
- Oh, yeah, Max! - Yeah!
Maxy was nonverbal, and we didn't know what to do.
So we sort of sought the help of people
and we found a school to put Max into.
And, you know, after three months of being in this particular school,
where he was getting therapy sort of four hours a day, five days a week,
of one-on-one therapy at the age of two,
he could talk.
He could say, "I love you."
It was a life-changing moment for all of us.
Alright, so, I'm gonna cut them and hand them to you,
and I need you to put them on there, alright?
We were so fortunate that, you know,
we had the resources at that time to put him into that school.
But, you know, a lot of families, they don't have that luxury,
or they don't have the money.
Oh, it's nice out here, isn't it?
- Do you want a chicken stick, Max? - Yep.
Or a sausage? What do you want?
We just thought, "Wow," you know?
Imagine if I was that parent who had to say,
"Oh, no, sorry, I can't put my child in here
"'cause I don't have the money."
Like, imagine if you're sitting at home,
knowing the help's right there,
and you just can't have it for your child.
So Chloe said, "We're gonna do something about that.
"Let's start a foundation and raise some money for these families."
So we did.
And that was nine years ago,
and we've raised a few million bucks now,
and we've been able to help lots of those families get treatment,
and we continue to do so.
I'm playing for Max,
and I want my kids to be proud, and I want to set a good example.
You know, I love my family,
and I'm truly loving being here with this group of people,
and all sort of finding a bit of each other in the journey.
What that little guy taught us all was
life's about others, not about yourself, so...
- It's a cool photo. - Yeah.
Cheers, everyone. May the good fortune continue.
Cheers.
Come on in, guys.
We need to beat these Champions.
I do not want another loss.
You know, we've done loss after loss after loss.
It's really frustrating and I'm sick and tired of it.
Alright, you guys ready to get to today's immunity challenge?
- Yeah. - Sure am.
Monika, gonna need it back.
- See you soon. - That's what I like to hear.
Once again, immunity is back up for grabs.
First things first. Jenna.
The ankle injury that you sustained the other day,
I've talked to the doctor about it and she wants to investigate further
to rule out a fracture...
..which would prevent you from continuing in this game.
So, a chopper is going to take you from here
to get those scans done today,
which means you will not participate in this challenge.
Good luck, Jenna.
- We'll see you back at camp. - We'll see you back, man.
You ain't going home.
- You got this, guys. - Yep.
Yeah, we got it, Jenna. It's all good.
- You OK? - All good, mate.
Alright, good.
That's what I like to hear.
To find out that I have to leave the game
to have further investigation and scans done...
..is just... it's devastating.
Just sitting in that helicopter, you know,
you've got a million things running through your head
and, you know, the decision that's pending
is ultimately gonna be life-changing.
And, you know, if I can continue in the game,
yeah, I will come out bigger and better
and I'll recover from this.
Alrighty. We'll get you back here, no worries.
Let's hope so.
I've got the option to take myself out of the game
but I'm not a quitter, so to me that really isn't an option.
For today's challenge, six members of your tribe
will head down a giant slide to a canoe,
which you will then paddle out to a pontoon
to retrieve three rings.
You will then paddle back to the slide
and get everyone to the top again any way you can.
Finally, the remaining three tribe mates will each toss a ring,
attempting to land them on a peg.
First tribe to land all three rings
wins immunity, safe from the vote.
Losing tribe, you know the drill.
You're going to see me at tribal council
where somebody's going to become the fifth person voted out of this game.
So we have Shane on the bench for the Champions.
Here we go.
For immunity.
Survivors ready.
Go!
Steve whips down that slide.
Benji close behind.
Need to get on the platform before the next person can go.
Sam goes down.
Fenella goes down.
Everyone needs to be on the pontoon before you can go to the next stage.
Argh!
Everyone whipping down now.
Robbie's in.
Big boy Brian's in.
Alright, go, Contenders. Onto the canoe.
Go, Contenders! Let's go, Red!
- Come on! - Go, Champions!
Everyone's got to be in the canoe.
You need to unhitch both ends.
Alright, the Contenders have unhooked. They're away.
Let's go, Red! Let's go, Red!
Brian struggling to get into the canoe.
This is gonna cost them some time.
And that's it. They're away.
- Go! - Come on!
One! Two! Three!
Contenders have a nice head start on them.
Go, Red! Let's go!
Contenders are way off course.
They're having trouble steering that canoe.
Someone put your oar on this side.
You go like that, you go like that, you go like that.
Heath straightens out the Contenders,
gets them back on course.
Champions are going off course.
Brian, where are you steering it?
Hold it in the water, Brian, like this.
Keep going! Keep paddling!
Champions are not working well together today.
Steve trying to get them back on course.
Keep it in the water. You've got to steer.
Someone's got to steer the whole time.
Release it, Brian, on that side.
That's it. Champions get it together.
They're starting to steer straight now.
But they've lost some serious time.
Go! Come on!
Contenders are close to their pontoon.
Champions trying to chase them down.
Paddle on the left.
Alright, Benji's there.
Get it, get it!
He grabs the first ring.
Pushing it around. You're going too far.
He has the second ring.
Finally, Steve jumps in. He's going for the rings.
That's it, the Contenders have all three rings.
Now they need to turn that canoe around and come all the way back.
Go!
Steve has the second ring.
Come on, Benji, let's go.
Come on, everyone. Hard!
That's it. Steve has the third ring.
They can head back now.
Contenders are still having trouble steering that canoe.
You want to stay in this, Champions, you need to pick it up!
Go!
Champions are paddling quickly, backwards!
At some point they're going to have to turn it around.
Heath is single-handedly trying to turn the boat around.
Needs coordination between all six tribe members.
Contenders are heading back now. Champions trying to turn.
Contenders are way ahead.
Left-hand side, guys. Keep it there.
Everyone, left-hand side. Paddle!
Champions have their canoe turned around. They're heading back now.
Everyone right! Everyone paddle!
Everyone paddle right.
Robbie's panicking. He can feel the Champions closing in.
I think it's going to come down to quoits, eh?
Yeah, good old quoits.
Contenders do not want to lose this challenge.
Immunity is on the line. Someone going home tonight.
Everyone, let's go! Come on, come on!
Champions powering home now.
They are not going to let the Contenders get away.
It's not over, team!
Come on, keep paddling.
Keep going! Keep it going! Guys!
Jump in! Jump in! Keep it going, though.
- Contenders get back first. - Over to the left, Brian.
- Champions close on their tail. - Get off! Get off!
Contenders now need to get everyone and their rings
to the top of the slide.
That's it. Champions are all back now.
They're back in this challenge.
Go, Brian. Let's go, mate!
Benji has the first ring up for the Contenders.
Champions pulling Lydia and the ring up together.
That's it, the Champions have their first ring up.
We're dead even right now.
Mat pulling Sharn up as she walks up the slide.
The Champions have the second ring up now.
Contenders have their second ring up.
Samuel's taking the third ring up to the Champions.
Champions were so far behind in this challenge
but they've made up all the ground they need.
Champions have all their rings up.
Everyone needs to be at the top
before you can start tossing the rings.
Robbie for the Contenders.
Whips up that slide with the third ring.
Monika walks up for the Champions.
Champions still have Brian and Steve down the bottom here.
Just Heath left for the Contenders.
Heath is a big guy.
It's going to take everyone to get him to the top of the slide.
Brian is clearly exhausted.
Once Heath is up, the Contenders can start shooting.
And they're up.
Zach, Anita and Paige tossing for the Contenders.
Anita takes the first toss,
and she misses.
Zach takes the next toss, and he misses.
Paige takes the third toss
and she misses!
This opens the door for the Champions.
They can use this opportunity.
Go!
Mat, Moana and Jackie tossing for the Champions.
Jackie takes her shot. She misses.
Moana's going to take her toss. She misses.
Mat takes his toss
and he lands the first one for the Champions.
Champions lead 1-zip.
Steve goes down again to fetch the rings.
Pressure's on for the Contenders.
Anita lines it up.
Can she land it?
On, no. She's wide.
Zach is just short.
Paige... Can she even it up?
No, she's short.
And Steve makes quick work of the slide with the two rings.
He is a machine in this challenge.
Jackie's gonna go again. Can she land it?
And she does!
The Champions lead 2-zip.
OK, Anita is gonna take another toss.
Wide.
And just like that, Zach gets one.
The Contenders are on the board now but the Champions still lead 2-1.
It all hinges on Moana here.
She can win it right here for the Champions.
And she does!
The Champions win immunity,
sending the Contenders to tribal council.
Oh, Shane! Yeah!
The Champions, that was a huge comeback. Congratulations.
- Thank you. - Immunity is yours.
Shane! Well done.
You guys are safe. No-one going home.
Swim it on back and enjoy the afternoon.
Contenders, I'll see guys tonight at tribal
where one of you will become the fifth person
voted out of Australian Survivor Champions v Contenders.
Swim it back to camp. I'll see you tonight.
When we were doing the challenge,
Paige very openly admitted to the Champions
that it was her that was on the chopping block.
I thought, "Paige, the enemy is the enemy,
"and until we're merged, you don't tell them a bloody thing."
She can't be trusted.
Just gotten back from this challenge and we've had another loss
and we've gotta vote someone out
so, it seems to be consensus that losing one of the girls,
really it's much of a muchness.
They're... they're all just as weak as one another.
Jenna has just been flown off in a helicopter
to go get more scans on her ankle.
She's unable to perform in any challenge whatsoever at this stage.
I suppose we just have to wait and see what happens with Jenna
and see how...
- How she's going. - Yeah.
Yeah.
We've got nine people here that are at 100%
and you've got one person that's 50%.
And we've got to sit her out of challenges
or, you know, put her on things, we can't use her strength.
You know, if we don't send her home,
we're gonna send someone home that's 100%.
And who can still do everything they need to do in every challenge,
- there's no limitations. - Yeah.
It's a no-brainer. I don't wanna send anyone that's 100% home
that can give more than someone that's 50% and injured
and risking further injury and jeopardising our team.
That's where I stand,
'cause I wanna keep this team as strong as possible.
I don't wanna... I don't wanna lose anymore.
We need to vote out Jenna.
It just seems crazy to keep her on.
Alright, so I think we've made a decision.
Let's just enjoy the arvie.
What you got?
Oh, I've just got these pipis
that didn't end up being cooked yesterday.
Oh, they're probably yuck now, are they?
Yeah. I'm gonna go chuck them.
I know!
So, typically the word around camp is that Jenna will be going home
because of her injuries.
But, she's one of my girls, I have her back, she has mine
and I can trust her.
But Paige, on the other hand, I can't trust.
Why should we?
I want to put Paige's name down on that piece of paper.
A little snack.
Yeah, it's a good snack.
I can pick the good brown ones now. I reckon I'm on to them now.
- See, look at that. - Yeah, I made...
Yeah, they got pulled... They got pulled up in the...
'Cause I didn't want them to think that...
It's like giving the enemy...
Bullshit.
Anita made it really clear early on in the game
that Shonee and Fenella were her girls and I wasn't included in that.
I guess Anita tends to take a lot of things really literally.
You know, you might say something really off the cuff
and she takes it as gospel.
It's hard not think you're next.
Mm-hm.
Come on. You're safe tonight.
I have to trust the boys,
but I'm not sure where I am
with the girls or the boys.
I do have to hope that Jenna does come back
and that we do vote her out.
Because if she does get eliminated from the competition
for medical reasons, um, I really...
..and we still have to vote, I really think I'm gonna be next.
Hey, what?
What's happening?!
- What happened? What's wrong? - Is it broken?
- Jenna... - Sit down.
Yeah, let's sit down.
So yeah, there's no break.
Oh, yay!
- Oh, great. - That's good.
But, um...
..I've done some damage somewhere.
I can't do anything. I've gotta keep this on, so...
..I'm pretty much can't move it until I know what the damage is.
I can't do any swimming.
I can't do any physical stuff.
So I may damage it more.
I mean, I'm good for puzzles and stuff like that.
So, yeah...
Alright.
It's a shitty situation, but...
Yeah, sorry. Sorry. That's horrible.
It is what it is, you know?
I'm a very proud person.
I'm proud of the person I am,
so I'm not gonna go out of this game quietly,
I'm not gonna lay down and die.
Um, I think even with my injury, you know,
I still bring so much valuable things to the tribe.
I'm great at puzzles, I've got so much upper body strength, you know?
I can stand and I can throw things, so I'm gonna make that known
and I'm gonna, you know, give it my all.
Thought about the pros and cons of keeping Jenna or getting rid of her
and the pros FAR outweigh the cons.
I just find that really weird.
- Yep. - Like she's not 100% so... Like, no.
Yeah.
Teegs was straight up and honest with me, you know?
Hats off to her for being honest, you know?
I'm sure that was a hard conversation for her to be part of.
But this is the opportunity I need to stay in the game.
What's going on?
Hey?
Tribal council, anything can happen.
And I think the worst thing that can happen
would be to see the whole tribe turn on me.
If I get nine votes tonight, it's definitely gonna be hard to swallow.
I'm hoping that more than one name comes out of that urn.
Jenna, I can't help but notice
that you've come to tribal with a cast and crutches.
It's pretty attractive, isn't it?
It's a nice-looking cast.
What did the doc say?
Oh, yeah, so... there's no damage to the bone,
but unfortunately,
we can't rule out any damage to the ligaments or tendons without an MRI,
so... um... I'm just in a cast for now,
just to make sure I don't do any further damage
until we can get the scans that we need.
How does it feel, knowing that you can't give 100% right now?
It's a mixed bag of emotions. Um...
You get the feedback from the guys in the tribe, you know,
and... they're always saying to me, you know, like,
"You're such a machine."
But at the end of the day, we're a tribe and we're awesome,
and I'm no better than anyone else here.
But... you know,
while I might not be able to physically compete in the challenges
as we had hoped, you know,
like... think that I bring a lot of other traits to the tribe.
And a lot of strong traits
that are gonna work in these guys' favour sooner or later.
Fenella, injury aside, what other things could be considered tonight?
I mean, she is... she's a natural born leader,
and she's really good at gathering us up.
She is very direct in a wonderful way.
It's amazing to form that bond with someone so quickly.
Like, she has really touched every single one of us here.
Benji...
Last time we were here, Paige received... what was it? Four votes?
Should she be worried again tonight?
Uh, I'm not worried for Paige tonight.
I put her name down the other night, so I was worried for her.
Couple of mistakes were made. A lot of apologies were given.
Uh, but I don't think Paige should be worried tonight at all.
Paige, why did you receive so many votes last tribal?
You tell me, Jono.
I'm not back at camp.
No, do you know, this is a really tough situation.
This game of Survivor is nothing like real life.
You know, there are so many things that come into play.
Um... I can totally see how one thing gets said by someone,
and that gets turned into one thing,
and they believe someone over someone else,
and it's just... it's Survivor.
So, you know, I don't have any hard feelings. It is a game.
Um... but I have proven that I'm trustworthy.
You know, I... my word is good
and the people who I've given it to know that.
Anita, do you see Jenna as trustworthy?
- Jenna? - Yeah.
Absolutely.
100%.
What about Paige?
- Uh, no. - No?
- No. - Just like that?
- You didn't even think about it. - No.
Because the people she aligned with the other day didn't trust her,
so why would my little core alliance trust her?
Simple as that.
- So you have a little alliance. - I have.
- You looked over that way. - I have my girls.
- Uh-huh. - Yeah. That's not uncommon knowledge.
And you don't trust Paige.
- Um... I trust them. - Right. OK.
Paige, how does that make you feel?
Uh, not good,
'cause I can hand on heart say
I've done nothing to actually betray anyone's trust.
Zach...
..is it that simple?
I was one of the people that spoke with Paige earlier today.
And...
..it's just so important moving forward,
we've just lost so many challenges that I can't keep doing this.
We're getting killed here.
We need to keep this tribe strong,
and we need to start winning some challenges.
And... as it stands,
we need to keep putting people
that are going to do their best in these challenges.
I like Jenna. She's great. She's an absolute beast.
You know, in challenges, she just kills it,
but... like that, she's useless to us.
Shonee.
- The great dilemma... - Mm-hm.
..in this game.
Do you play with your heart or do you play with your head?
Both, I think. I don't really know.
I love Jen. I want her around.
She's really trustworthy
and she is the heart and soul of our tribe, definitely.
Tegan, does it make sense
to get rid of a friend who's injured that you trust,
and keep someone who's able... but you don't trust?
You know... trust is a really tricky thing.
As Paige said, you know, you want to trust people,
but in the end it's a game of Survivor.
I've found someone that I really trust in Jenna.
You know, Survivor is a team game, but...
..ultimately it's individual,
and... you know, in the end...
..you have to think about what's best for your game.
Heath, what should the tribe remember
as they go up to vote tonight?
It's a hard one.
I mean... no one here wants to put Jenna's name down,
but... moving forward with the challenges coming up,
we need to stay strong
and... if everyone isn't 100%...
..we're gonna be back here next week...
..and the week after...
..and the week after back to back until this tribe's no longer.
It'll be a tribe left of Champions
and we won't have a shot at that title of the Sole Survivor.
Jenna...
..what do you want the tribe to remember
when they go up to vote tonight?
I guess... you know, if I'm gonna say anything, all I want to say is...
..do what you wanna do.
Alright? Don't let anyone push you round, especially you girls.
You underestimate yourselves so much.
You guys are so much stronger than what you think.
Alright?
Thanks, Jenna.
I don't wanna go home.
The thought of going home is devastating.
I've given it my all to be here,
and I... and I'd give anything to stay at the end of the day.
I came to prove a point, and I haven't done that yet.
Um... and I guess, you know, with that comes disappointment as well.
You got nothing to be disappointed about, Jenna.
You got absolutely nothing to be disappointed about.
Should they gamble on you?
Oh, look...
..it's red or black.
It's that simple, isn't it? It's 50-50.
As I sit here tonight and I... you know, I hear what everyone's saying,
I can't help think back to day two, you know,
where we lost the first immunity challenge
and went to tribal council.
We rocked up at the challenge the next day...
..and one of the Champions made a comment
about they were surprised to see that I wasn't voted off
because I was injured.
And I think everyone in this tribe sat next to me and said,
"We don't play like that."
But... at the end of the day, I can't make them do anything.
It's their decision.
And what will be, will be.
Alright. Well...
..it is time to vote.
It is time to vote.
Zach, you're up.
You're a fierce competitor,
so kind of happy to see your torch get snuffed.
Benji?
Think we all know the outcome of tonight's vote.
Tegan.
Jenna... I'm so sorry.
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.
Once the votes are read, the decision is final.
Person voted out
will be asked to leave the tribal council area immediately.
I'll read the votes.
First vote...
..Paige.
Jenna.
That's one vote Paige, one vote Jenna.
Jenna.
That's four votes Jenna, one vote Paige.
Jenna.
That's five votes Jenna, one vote Paige.
Fifth person voted out of Australian Survivor: Champions v Contenders...
..Jenna.
That's six votes. That's enough.
Need to bring me your torch.
Jenna...
..the tribe has spoken.
Time for you to go.
- Bye, Jen. - Love you, Jenna.
Well, sometimes in Survivor, the vote is simple.
But it's never easy.
Grab your torches. Head back to camp.
Tomorrow night on Australian Survivor...
Get your leg over!
..players will rise....
Lean forward, lean forward.
..and fall.
Just like that, Zach is in.
As the pressure of challenges...
Just be positive.
How about you just let me do me and you do you. How's that sound?
..physical...
Can't hold any food or fluids down.
..and mental...
The enemy is the enemy.
..brings new targets to the fore.
It's exciting to have a target on your back, isn't it?
Are you threatening me?
Definitely pretty devastated.
To go home due to injury just sucks.
Jenna, I don't wanna see you go,
but I don't think you can help our tribe win anymore.
Go home to your beautiful Elliott.
I came here for not only myself,
but for my daughter,
to prove to her
that no matter what she does in life...
..to keep stretching for the goals,
because she will achieve anything she wants to
as long as she's got determination.
I really hope she is proud of me,
because she's the reason I do what I do every day,
and if she's proud of me,
then I've succeeded at life,
and that's all I can ask for.
