Previously on Australian Survivor...
Breathe, Benji!
..the Contenders struggled in the Reward Challenge.
Champions win rewards!
Aww, that's my family.
It was an emotional camp when the Champions returned
with their packages from home.
With their loved ones front of mind...
Keep that bag above your head.
..the Champions dug deep.
Come on. It's around the corner. We can sniff it.
Robbie's really struggling at the end there!
Champions win immunity, sending the Contenders to Tribal Council!
It's critical for me to get the girls to turn on Tegan.
It was Benji's gameplay that sent Tegan to Exile Beach.
And Heath was next on his list.
If you get all them plus Anita, we're good.
Now I can send the king to exile to get rid of his queen.
But Heath had a secret weapon...
There's something weighing my bag down, so...
I can confirm that this is a hidden immunity idol.
..blindsiding...
Heath, does not count.
..the entire tribe.
Second person going to Exile Beach, Anita.
18 are left. Who will be going home tonight?
It's my second night here on Exile Beach.
It's been really tough. I've no idea why I was voted out.
Is that Anita?
Yes.
Oh, my God.
Well, listen. You were going to vote me out!
I actually wasn't!
I was not going to... I was not going to vote you out!
What the ? You turned on me!
I did not turn on you!
What happened?
- I didn't turn on you! - Who the told you that?
The boys.
Well, they made that up.
The boys... I... get this.
The boys... The boys were going to vote you, right?
No, no, no, no.
That's what was happening.
Let's sit down. Let's sit down and hash this out.
This is what happened before Tribal.
Benji had approached Shonee.
Oh, really?
Benji had said,
"Let's work together to get, um, Heath and Tegan out."
I'm pissed off. I had been voted out.
And my Survivor dream had ended
because of a lie that Benji has told.
You have no ins there, no ins.
Frigging hell, you know?
Sometimes, you just... I wish I'd trusted my gut.
But I trusted Benji. And now I have to come up against Tegan tomorrow.
Out of everyone there, Benji,
he's the masterminds behind all of the votes.
You know, if I get back to camp,
then I think I need to play the game just as hard as they are.
If I get back there, there's no more nice Tegan.
I've been thinking a lot about my chats to Anita last night.
I've got a new outlook on the game.
I've got no loyalties to anybody. I'm here to win.
Did you get any sleep?
Yeah, I think so.
I didn't.
I know. You tossed and turned, didn't you?
Mm.
Too much going through your head. I gave you too much info.
Yeah.
Just processing it all.
Yeah.
Fighting to get back to camp,
it's literally all I've thought about since making it to exile.
I need to go into this challenge today knowing that I can beat her.
I'm going back into camp looking for revenge.
Don't forget your buff.
Thanks, mate.
Let's do it. Let's see what the day has ahead for us.
Benji lying to me was a huge mistake, huge mistake.
Today will be a tough challenge.
But I will absolutely fight to the end. I know how to fight.
You watch me walk out today. I'll be the winner.
Come on in, guys.
Tegan, you've been out in exile for a few days now.
How hard has it been for you?
Oh, it's just been amazing, you know?
It's been so much fun on my own.
I was completely blindsided by my tribe.
Um, you know, obviously, they saw me as a bit of a threat.
But, you know, I'll give you the hot tip.
There's people over there playing a bigger game than I am
because, you know, they're willing to do what it takes,
whatever it takes, to be here.
Anita, the truth is,
if you want a shot at winning that half-million dollars,
you're going to have to win this challenge first.
I mean, where's your head at today?
Well, I'm a big believer in the power of positivity
and the universe.
And whatever comes my way will come my way.
What about you, Tegan? Where's your head at today?
Yeah, I mean, it's a bit of a double-edged sword.
If I win, I've got to go back to a tribe that voted me out, so...
The upside is you could get revenge, though.
Yeah, I don't know that that will be as easy as you make it sound.
You know, there's a really core alliance working over there,
which I don't think everyone's aware of.
Alright, let's get to it.
For today's challenge, you will build a tower using blocks
while rolling a ball back and forth over a ramp.
If at any point, you miss the ball, it will knock over your tower.
You'll need to start again.
First person to build their tower using all their blocks
wins their place back in this game.
Loser's going to become the seventh person eliminated
Champions vs. Contenders.
You got it, Teegs.
Good luck, guys.
Good luck to you.
Let's go, Teegs.
Alright, here we go, for a place back in the game.
Good luck, Teegs. Good luck, Nits.
Survivors, ready?
Go, Teegs. Go, Teegs.
This is do or die.
You've got this, Teegs. I know you've got this.
Winner stays alive,
gets another shot at the title and the half-million dollars.
Loser is out of this game for good.
Ball's coming.
Good, Teegs.
Come on, Nits.
You have to use all 20 blocks to build your tower
while protecting it from the ball.
That's it. That's it.
Go, go, go, go, go!
Go, go!
Get those blocks on the ground.
Go to move, Anita. She's moving fast.
Good, Teegs.
Tegan is whipping through it.
Ball's coming. Ball's coming.
She has a clear plan in this challenge.
She's working quickly to make that tower.
Go other side, Teegs, other side.
Just like that...
Bugger!
..Tegan knocks it over, opening the door for her.
Anita, trying to rebuild.
Pressure is on now. Everything's on the line in this challenge.
OK, guys.
Tegan, very focussed...
Coming again.
It's coming. It's coming.
..splitting her time between building and defending.
While Anita's spending all her time defending her tower.
Halfway, you're halfway.
Just breathe.
Stay focussed.
This is all about time management.
Too much time building the tower
leaves you vulnerable to having it knocked over.
Too much time defending it
opens the door for the other player to get there first.
It's coming. It's coming.
Heads up! Heads up!
Oh, and just like that, Tegan's tower falls over,
opening the door for Anita!
Just breathe.
Tegan has to start all over again.
Anita is now in the lead.
Well done, good work. You're in the zone, Anita. Stay in the zone.
Here it comes.
Just like that, the game can change. It can pivot.
Tegan working quickly to get back in this.
Go, quick.
She's not going to let this one slip away.
Everything is riding on this challenge.
This is the only way to stay in the game.
Come on, Anita, you got to keep moving.
This is your chance, Anita. Don't let it go.
Go, go, go, go, come on, got to keep it moving.
Tegan had lost her advantage. But she is back in it.
We are almost dead even again, amazing comeback from Tegan.
Let's go, Teegs.
They're both neck and neck.
Tegan going back for another piece.
It's coming. It's coming.
Here comes.
Go to the right. Go to the right.
Anita for another piece.
Go, Teegs. Go, Teegs.
Tegan gets a piece on.
It's coming. It's coming. It's coming.
She's one piece left.
You're almost there, Anita.
Ball's coming. Ball's coming.
This could be it for Tegan, one piece! And that's it!
Tegan wins her spot back in the game!
Bugger.
Oh, babe.
Don't be silly.
Well done, guys.
Stop it.
Tegan, congratulations. How you feeling right now?
I'm feeling really sad, actually.
You know, Anita didn't deserve to go home today.
And that she's leaving, I feel... I feel guilty about it.
And I'm really sad to see her go.
Well, you've earned your place back in the game. Well done.
Congratulations. You can go ahead and re-join your tribe.
Anita, you put up a hell of a fight.
But sadly, after 21 days in this game,
your journey has come to an end.
You can take off your buff, toss it in the fire. It's time to go.
I'd just like to say I loved playing this game with all of you.
You're all champions. And may the best man or woman win.
Thank you so much for a wonderful time and a wonderful journey.
I love you all.
Good job.
Nothing easy about this game. Grab your gear. Head on out.
We'll see you guys soon.
Congrats, Teegs.
Well done.
Yeah, I'm sure you're all very excited to see me here.
We are.
Yeah.
You know, I don't really like confrontation.
But I had never told Benji
that I was targeting Shonee, Anita and Fenella.
I want everyone to know the truth.
It's bittersweet, like, come back here with all you guys,
who obviously don't want me here.
So, it's not, like, the best feeling to be coming back to the camp.
You know, and obviously wondering why I was voted out
and, you know, what went wrong.
I'm sure you got a few questions for everyone.
Yeah, I mean, clearly, there were a few porkies told.
Yeah.
If I don't tell the truth, then it's going to be me on the block again.
You know, everyone needs to know what's going on.
Anyway, I need water. You can guys can mull over whatever you want.
But I'm going to get water.
Could you fill up my bottle, please?
- Alright, thank you. - I've got mine all full.
I am thirsty, though.
Mm-hm.
I think everyone's just got to own up to it, like...
We haven't all put her name down.
No, no, no, as in...
No one wanted to step out and say it was their idea.
Didn't say that, though, Paige. It was a unanimous decision.
And everyone was...
It's got to start somewhere, though.
Where do you think it started?
I don't know.
Well, I thought she was gunning for me. That was my reason.
I thought she was going for my boy, Zach.
She wrote down your name.
Yeah, that's why I put her name down.
No, we were told that it was Nits.
And then me, and then Fenella.
By who? By them?
Someone told me that they were actually voting for Anita.
I have told many lies in this game to many people.
Tegan's exposed us, which means trouble.
It means I have to buckle up and get ready for a bumpy ride
because I don't know what's about to happen.
Which they were, though.
Were they? Yeah, they were.
She didn't switch to, um, Zach last minute.
I'm not sure if everyone believes me, you know?
But I still feel like I'm in control,
even though it may look like I'm in some trouble.
Then I can pull off a swift manoeuvre
and get back to where I was.
Yeah?
..was planned days before.
Oh, really?
And it was Benji told that I was going for her
and that she had to vote for me.
Jeez.
So, that's what I meant by there's some tall lies,
some big lies going on back at camp.
Bring it up in front of everyone
because it doesn't give them a chance to defend themselves then.
Like, you tell one person at a time...
Yeah.
..it's like you're going around, Chinese whispers.
This is... And this is another thing I've come to a revelation at exile.
We can't play the nice guys anymore.
No.
Tell lies. Do whatever it takes. Like, seriously...
Yeah.
..that's exactly what they're doing.
We're being... trying to be nice and, you know,
play the game in an honourable way, which you can still do.
But they are all lying.
Through their teeth.
If we lose the immunity challenge today,
I'm going to let everybody know what really happened
and put a target on his back.
And, you know, unless we step it up to them, we'll be going home.
Come on in, guys.
Tegan, how was your first night back in your old camp?
Yeah, I mean, it was interesting.
You know, we nutted through a lot of things.
And so, I think it's put us in a good mindset to...
to take on the challenge today and hopefully come away with a win.
Zach, is the tribe happy to have Tegan back home?
Yeah, definitely.
I mean, there was a lot to talk about when she got home.
But, uh, I think after everyone had a bit of a discussion
and we kind of all hugged it out at the end. So, yeah, we're good.
Nice.
Samuel, Champions have won the last three challenges in a row.
Is that luck? Or are you guys just better at challenges?
Well, I mean, we've had a good few challenges
that suit the strengths of our tribe.
And, hopefully, today's challenge will also suit our strengths
and we'll pull through once again.
You guys ready to get to today's immunity challenge?
Yes, sir.
Alright, who has it? Mat?
Thank you.
Once again, immunity is back up for grabs.
For today's challenge,
six of you will race up a slide to fill a bucket with water.
You will then slide back down
and empty whatever water is left into a tube.
When the tube is full,
it will release a ball that the final two tribe members
will navigate through a vertical maze.
First tribe to get the ball through the maze wins immunity,
safe from a vote.
Losing tribe will join me at Tribal Council, where one of you
will become the eighth person voted out of this game.
Champions, you got an extra player.
You're going to need to sit someone out,
cannot be the same person in back-to-back challenges.
Who's it going to be?
I'm sitting out.
Alright, Monika, you're on the bench.
Everyone else, I'll give you a minute to strategise.
We'll get to it, should be a good one.
Alright, here we go, on the maze for the Contenders,
we have Zach and Robbie.
For the Champions, we have Jackie and Samuel.
For immunity, Survivors ready?
Go.
First on the bucket for the Champions,
we have Mat going up against Heath. They make quick work of that slide.
Now you need to fill your bucket with water.
Get all the way back down here, keeping as much water as possible,
which is not easy because the buckets have holes in them.
Heath is first on the slide.
Mat zooms straight past Heath. Mat first back.
Well done, Mat!
Big load of water into the tube. Nice one for Heath.
Go, go, Benji! Go, Benji!
Go, Benji!
Brian's out on the course for the Champions, Benji for the Contenders.
Brian's struggling now. Now he's on all fours.
That's it, Brian. That's it, mate. Keep going.
Brian playing cat and mouse with the bucket.
Benji comes down first as his bucket slowly leaks through the holes.
Nice return for Benji.
Nice work, Benji.
Brian's finally back, passes off to Steve.
Contenders consistently getting big buckets of water down the slide,
do not want to go back to Tribal Council.
Nice bucket for Shonee.
Contenders lead but not by much.
Heath is back out on the field. Mat's back out on the field.
Champions have stripped off. They want to get more skin on that slide.
Heath is hard on the slide.
Mat coming down quickly, right on his tail.
Change to the Speedos helped. Oh, big bucket from both boys.
Brian's had a wardrobe change.
Let's go, mate!
Doesn't seem to be helping him, though.
Get up, Brian! That's it, anyway you can!
Chase that bucket, Brian! Chase the bucket!
Benji quickly fills up his bucket.
He really has the hang of it now. Tegan's back out on the course.
Brian's on his knees. Oh, he's out of control.
He's sideways, trying to protect that bucket.
What's going to happen at the bottom here? Oh!
That's it, Brian!
Good save from Brian!
Yes, Bri.
Steve and Tegan, both of them spinning around on the course.
Oh, hard hit from Tegan, loses half of her bucket.
Steve has a big bucket. He's levelled things right there.
We are neck and neck now.
Heath and Mat back out on the field again.
Contenders have lost the last two immunity challenges.
They do not want to do the same today.
Heath coming down the slide again.
Let's go!
Mat coming down quickly now. Nice bucket from Heath.
Big bucket from Mat.
Steve and Tegan back out on the field again.
Big bucket, Tegan!
Champions were behind in this challenge.
They made up all the ground. Now they're ahead.
Tegan has a big bucket. Steve has a big bucket.
That's it, Steve.
Will it be enough to bring the water to the top of the frame?
And it is! Go, Champions! Grab your ball!
Champions have moved on to the maze.
Alright, get tension.
It's all up to Jackie and Samuel.
Now... Now I'm going to come up. And you come up, too. Come up, too.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, OK, now rest it.
Very specific instructions from Samuel,
trying to weave his way through that maze.
It's much harder than it looks.
I'm going to wait for it to start rolling and then...
OK, come on, yes, more.
If you haven't figured it out already,
this one is all about communication.
A bit more, Jackie.
I am. I am. It's coming.
Bit more.
I am.
OK, we're going to have to just go up and to the right.
Champions being very, very cautious.
Oh, it's on the run. They're very close to the top. This could be it.
It is right there.
Too much, Jackie, too much! No, Jackie!
And they lose it! They were so close!
So frustrating for the Champions!
Robbie and Zach, itching to get in on this.
Shonee, coming down the slide,
needs to get a full bucket here to get the Contenders over the line.
And that's it. Contenders, grab your ball.
Robbie taking control for the Contenders.
Slow and steady, slow and steady, no, no.
Nice and steady,
definitely a learning curve to this part of the challenge.
It all comes down to how you perform under pressure.
We just got to slow it down.
Alright, we're just going to slow it down.
Just wait. Put it back down. Put it back down.
Let's go the same path we took, alright?
It's anyone's challenge at this stage.
Get ready to pull it if it starts to roll.
Coolest heads will prevail in this one.
Go up.
Contenders right on the edge there.
Hold it. Hold it. Hold it. Hold it! Hold it!
No, they lose it.
Good try, good try, boys.
Immunity is on the line.
No one wants to go back to Tribal Council tonight.
You go, Jack, Jack, Jack. Yep, more, more.
Keep lifting. Keep lifting.
Contenders have made some nice progress, both tribes neck and neck.
Who's going to get to the top first?
Lift up like that, up, up, up, up. Up, up, up! Zach!
Ball's on the roll. Contenders lose it.
The Champions are at the top again. Can they pull it off this time?
So close. Can they do it?
I'm going to try and lower some slack on mine.
You can't. There's friction.
And that's it!
Champions win immunity, sending the contenders back to Tribal Council!
Sorry, guys.
Head up, brother, head up.
I'm sorry.
No, don't be sorry. That was so hard.
All of us would have done the same.
Nothing to be sorry about.
Champions, congrats. Again, immunity is yours, no one going home.
Grab your gear. Head on out. Enjoy the evening off.
Good job, guys. Well done.
Contenders, once more, I will be seeing you guys tonight at Tribal.
One of you will become the eighth person voted out
Champions vs. Contenders.
Grab your gear. Head on out. I'll see you tonight.
Part of me actually wants to go to Tribal Council
because Benji made this lie up.
So, if I can expose that to the rest of the tribe
and get them on board, it would be, you know,
my little bit of revenge. I'm here to play. And I'm here to play hard.
Sorry, guys. That was really...
You don't need to say you're sorry. God.
We've lost the immunity challenge.
I know my name's on the chopping block.
I need to put the target on somebody else.
For me, it's Benji.
I thought it was the perfect opportunity
to reveal what had been going on.
I put your name down because we were told
that you were gunning for Nits, then Shonee, then myself.
- From the boys... - From Benji.
..which is not true.
That's the lie that sent me to exile.
It's important for us to know who we're playing with.
When you're playing a game with people that are clearly lying
and making up bullshit.
You know, that's how I feel, Benj.
I didn't make anything up.
So, you didn't tell the girls
that I said I was voting for Anita,
then Shonee, then Fenella?
I said that Heath and you were together.
- So, you never said that... - And, Heath,
you said that you were targeting those three.
Benji, don't stand there and lie to my face, bro.
- But we've had a lot of chats... - That's a lie.
That's complete bullshit.
I had never told Benji that I was going for the girls.
For them to vote me out based on a lie...
..I was pissed off!
You wanted to go for me because of my relationship with Heath
but if I was going for somebody...
..what about the bromance?
You guys are clearly way stronger than I am.
You know, you guys are mates.
You've got Zach in your little posse.
We've exposed that Benji is willing to lie
and cheat his way to the top.
I've thrown some doubt in everyone's minds
whether or not he's a trustworthy person.
Mm-hm.
Funny what information's come out,
now that Nits has spilled the beans.
Dude, the tribe sucks with Tegan in it.
Tribe does suck with Tegan in it.
Tegan's back. She's thrown a tantrum.
I'm feeling pretty paranoid when we get called out
and exposed like that.
Who are they gonna target?
Me.
I need to make a plan to throw Tegan under the bus to save myself.
But everything she said was accurate.
- No, it wasn't. - What did she say that wasn't true?
She said she was never going for Anita, never going for Shonee.
Ah, well I just... I never heard her say it.
She said so many lies after that.
Getting people to vote for Tegan was easier the first time
'cause I could make these lies that she was coming after 'em.
Now, the second time is gonna be more of a challenge.
Mm-hm.
The only person I lied to was Tegan...
..and Paige.
They throw lots of accusations...
..but they're the ones that lied twice.
Like, Tegan was making up all these lies and has played everyone.
I really hope that I've got the numbers right now to save myself
and my alliances back together so I can dethrone the queen forever.
Can we just go back to before I was voted out?
Yeah.
And let's me, you, Fen, Heath and Paige work as a bloc.
- Mm-hm. - And then, that's it.
That's our alliance.
To get Benji out tonight I need Shonee and Fenella.
And if I can pull Paige in.
If we can work with them,
we definitely have numbers to make it happen.
We know we've got each other.
- Mm-hm. - Do you know what I mean?
Like, I trust you two. I know you voted for me
but I know that it was because it was based on a lie.
Yep.
To see Benji go home on the back of their lie,
it would be really satisfying.
It would be my revenge.
For me, like, I personally wanna work with people that I can trust
and it is just a... and like, as well, do you know what I mean?
I agree with Zach.
I don't know.
He's annoying.
Do you know what I mean though?
Yeah, I'm 100% vibing you. Like, 100%.
Shonee and Fenella want Zach gone.
He's ruffled too many feathers. They really want him gone.
It's so hard.
This group of girls are just... they suck.
But I really wanna get Benji out.
I don't think they realise how much of a game Benji's playing.
Hopefully they change their minds.
I'm really conflicted about tonight's vote.
Tegan wants to get Benji out.
Benji wants to send Tegan home.
But then also, I feel like the camp would be a happier place
if we vote out Zach.
Moving forward, I just wanna keep my options open.
And right now it seems like I have quite a few options.
Alright, Contenders.
Three Tribals in a row.
You guys must be tired of seeing my sorry face.
You're not wrong.
- Tegan. - Yes.
Last time you were here you were voted out.
You were blindsided.
So, are your spider senses on full alert tonight?
Yeah. I mean, I'm gonna be on full alert for the rest of the game.
I think I was really, kind of, maybe floating through,
not really playing the strategic game
as hard as other people have been playing.
So, I need to maybe try a little bit harder to stay in the game.
Well, speaking of which, at the one on one challenge with Anita
you seemed to have quite a lot to say about the tribal politics.
Yeah.
So, Benji,
what did you think about what Tegan said
the other day at the challenge?
Yeah...
..Tegan had lots of opinions of what was going on with the tribe.
She called you a bunch of liars.
Oh, did she?
Yeah, I don't blame Tegan at all.
Tegan got blindsided and she spent three days out in exile
which is an incredible feat.
And if people would lie to her face to make that happen
then there's definitely a bunch of liars here.
But that's also, I think, part of the game.
Yeah.
Telling little lies, it is part of the game.
For me, it's the blatant lie that is what I find a bit of a threat.
You know, if people are going around
purposefully making up untruths
it's very different to saying to someone,
"Yes, I'm going to vote this way."
And then maybe voting a different way.
So, when you mention this blatant lie,
was this concerning you or other people?
Everyone back at camp was under the impression
that I was targeting a group of people
who I was actually working with.
That I was targeting Anita, Shonee and Fenella.
You know? Which was just completely not true.
And for me, it was the reason I was voted out.
Do you know the origin of the lie?
You know, Anita shared that Benji and Robbie pulled Shonee aside
and told them that.
Shonee, is that true? Is that what happened?
Yes, that's true.
I was told that it was going to be Anita and then myself
and then Fenella.
So, when I heard that Tegan and Heath were behind this,
obviously, we panicked and wanted to get rid of them.
So, Benji, why did you set up that lie?
Uh... I have been telling the truth
to the people I trust throughout this whole game.
At the time, I had talked to a few people, Heath included,
and that was the impression that I was under
that Heath and Tegan were going for Anita and Shonee.
And that was the truth that I told at that time.
So, sorry, it wasn't your plan to vote me out?
- No. - Oh, OK. Whose was it?
We chatted about this. You were going for Zach.
And that was all left to Zach.
Oh, but whose plan was it to vote me out?
It wasn't my plan.
Oh, yeah. But I'm asking whose it was.
So, to just be candid again with you is that...
Yeah.
..Zach had heard that you were going for him.
Me, particularly?
- I'm not too sure. - Yeah,
like it was the girls, as a group.
'Cause I was loyal to Zach, I joined that plan.
- OK, got ya. - I wasn't...
..I didn't create that plan at all.
It's hard to know who you can trust in this game.
But everyone's lying.
Tegan was actually targeting me that particular night.
They're saying that they're not lying.
But they are because they lied to me.
I didn't speak to you, mate.
I didn't talk to you that day.
I didn't tell you who I was voting for.
I didn't speak to you. So, I didn't lie to you.
So, what? You think that I had no idea that was happening?
No, no. Obviously, you knew
because I'm the one that got voted out.
But what I'm saying is,
Heath told you he was voting for Anita and he did.
I didn't tell you anything.
I told the group of girls that I was voting for you.
I didn't lie to anybody. And neither did Heath.
Zach, you're not convinced.
They're all lying. Everybody's lying.
It's the pot calling the kettle black.
OK, so, you say that Tegan was targeting you last time.
Do you think that that could be the same tonight?
I would be really surprised if it isn't.
If it isn't?
Yes, sir.
Are you worried about tonight's vote?
Sure. I mean, I'm worried about every vote.
My name gets thrown around a lot in this camp.
Which seems crazy,
considering I'm one of the strongest guys out here
and we need to be winning challenges.
It just seems, logically and logistically stupid.
I just find it interesting, Jonathan,
that we've got these strong guys
and they think that strength is all you need in Survivor.
You know, I'm the smallest person here
and so's Fenella and Shonee,
but we all have our strengths in different areas.
We might not be able to lift as heavy of weights in the gym
but we're pretty strong
and we can represent ourselves and hold our own.
If Survivor was all about being physical
then I definitely wouldn't be here.
Because yeah, I'm no bodybuilder.
But Zach is very much always about the strength
so I think it's his card to play.
Well, I mean, it's not just that. It's also,
you have a look at the current challenges we've been facing,
the current trend has been very physically based.
There's no doubt about that.
You have a look at where the team's falling over
and it's because their women are stronger than ours.
What?
Nothing against these girls, they're amazing girls
and they've been trying their hardest
and I'm so, so proud of them.
But their girls are kicking the hell out of ours.
I don't know that the boys are doing too well against the boys either.
It's not a complete overrun of the females losing the challenges
versus the boys winning it for us.
That wasn't the point that I was making.
It's a shame that's all you took away from that.
That's what I took away from it, Zach.
No...
You just said that the girls here are falling down.
Are falling down in the challenges.
This is the thing, it's tribe on tribe.
I have no doubt that when it goes to the individual match ups.
Once we become merged,
we're gonna see those kind of challenges
where the girls are definitely gonna be much more suited
because they do have the smaller feet.
They are lighter, they are going to be able
to hold their own body weight for a lot longer.
But at this stage of the game,
their girls are just so much stronger than you.
Wow.
Paige, you were rolling your eyes
throughout that entire conversation.
No, I wasn't!
You were. I saw it.
I saw you close your eyes. You were like, "Oh, my god."
There were a lot of faces going on.
I just think Survivor is not like a fitness competition.
It's really not.
Zach, a full half of the tribe has said, "Muscle, eh."
Yeah, of course they would.
I mean, that's not their strength
and I suppose, as they pointed out,
that's definitely my strong suit.
I'm the guy you put out there to neutralise other physical threats
that's more my role in this team.
Thanks for winning them all for us, Zach. Boom!
Zach, how confident are you things are gonna go the way you...
..think they're gonna go.
If everyone stays true to their word, well,
I think we'll come out the other side a much stronger,
better team and hopefully win some challenges.
Alright, well, it is time to vote.
It is time to vote.
Paige, you're up.
I really hope this is the last time I have to write this name down.
I'll count the votes.
If anyone has a hidden immunity idol and you wanna 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,
Tegan.
Zach.
One vote Tegan, one vote Zach.
Zach.
Two votes Zach, one vote Tegan.
Zach.
That's three votes Zach, one vote Tegan.
Zach.
That's four votes Zach, one vote Tegan.
Eighth person voted out of Australian Survivor,
Champions versus Contenders...
..Zach.
That's five votes, that's enough.
You need to bring me your torch.
Zach, the tribe has spoken.
Get her, lads.
We didn't get a goodbye.
No.
Well, your discussion was fractious,
but your votes were unanimous.
Perhaps this tribe has more in common than you think.
Grab your torches, head back to camp.
Tomorrow night on Australian Survivor.
With Zach gone...
Go, Contenders!
..the Contenders fight harder than ever...
Oh! He bellyflopped!
..to defeat the Champions.
Go, Shane!
And a vulnerable Benji makes a desperate attempt
to regain Shonee's trust.
I made like over a million dollars last year.
But...
Benji told me he's a millionaire.
..will it be his undoing?
I wanna be the smartest and most strategic player,
so I have to get rid of him.
Yeah, this has exactly just been a once in a lifetime experience.
That's why it's a little bit heartbreaking
that it comes to an end this soon.
I love you, brother. You've been a good shield
but you just got a little bit too heavy to keep carrying.
The girls hated my guts.
I don't know. Just uh...
..left wing women just really don't get on with me too well.
I don't know what it is.
You're just a washed-up Gladiator
that ended up on the wrong beach.
Now, without me there to take on Commando, to take on Brian,
The other boys won't get the job done.
So, yeah, I think they might be in a bit of trouble without me.
