JONATHAN: Previously on Australian Survivor, with Steve gone...
Could say I'm the king of the jungle.
King Grub.
..Shane and Sharn were left out on a limb.
Being in an alliance of two
is probably the most precarious position I've been in
in the whole game.
As Brian closed in...
So now I've gotta get one of the Champions out in Shane and Sharn...
..Sharn turned to power couple Shonella to help blindside him.
SHONEE: Sharn and Shane are level 10 desperate.
(GIGGLES)
Shonella's alliance with Brian was solid.
Just trust me.
And in the immunity challenge, Shonee proved it.
Brian wins his third individual immunity.
At camp... the plan was to split the vote.
But luck was on Sharn's side.
SHARN: I've got some power again.
And it looked like the end of the road for Shane.
I just need three votes on to Sharn.
She can play her idol.
I'm just pleading with you to not throw me under the bus.
You won't be going home tonight.
Sharn's as big a threat as you think.
All this subterfuge... you know, it's really exciting.
It really juices me.
At tribal council...
Loyalty's hard in this game. You gotta be ruthless.
..Brian didn't stick with the plan.
Jonathan, it seems I can hide an idol.
And when Sharn played her idol...
Sharn, does not count.
..Shonee lost her best friend...
Sixth member of our jury, Fenella.
..and greatest ally.
The tribe has spoken.
Five are left.
Who will be voted out tonight?
SHONEE: Tonight my life partner, snuggle buddy, business partner,
best friend out here, was sent home.
Yeah, sure. We can have story time.
Feel like there was definitely some communication errors tonight.
We wanted to send Sharn home, but she played her idol,
so... no, she's still blowing on a fire back at camp.
Look at that fire go now.
It's crazy.
Someone wrote down Sharn
when they were meant to write down Shane...
..and now Shonella is just Shonee.
MONIKA:
I know. Well done, guys.
BRIAN:
I need to find out if this was an accident
or if someone knew that Sharn had an idol.
It's a little bit awkward.
I've got to play it to Shonee that I've stuffed up.
Yes, we lose Fenella...
..but really Shane is a player that I want to take to the top three,
with Monika as well,
so I couldn't afford her going home tonight,
so... tonight... really is a perfect result.
I'm in the top five of Survivor.
We have knocked out 19 other contestants and none of them were me.
Day 45.
(SHANE CHUCKLES)
To the girl that has never gone camping in her whole life,
has never played any sports,
is obviously very uncoordinated at physical challenges...
- Yay! - Yay! Look at that.
And I'm thinking... it's...
I've got a 1 in 5 chance of winning.
But the fact that I'm so close to the end... I just want it so much more.
Last night Sharn proved once again what a huge threat she is.
She pulled out an immunity idol.
I had no idea. She completely fooled me.
If I didn't know she was a threat before, I certainly do now.
Aww. You gotta stop saying that. Seriously.
- I'm not that amazing. - Yeah, well, like I told you...
I'm not.
I love her, but in this game she scares me,
and I just... would feel much more comfortable if she was gone.
SHARN:
I know. Yeah.
Yeah.
After tribal council last night, when Shonella was split up,
Fenella went home. (LAUGHS)
Sharn stayed.
She played her idol and it just flabbergasted everyone.
The plan worked perfectly,
but we're still in a precarious position,
because it's still a three-two split.
Yeah.
So we need to try and get Monika or Shonee onboard,
and then we'll be able to have the power together and vote Brian out,
or it could be the death knell.
- It's pretty salty, isn't it? - Yeah.
Do you reckon we should give it a rinse?
Is it coming off?
Hard to tell.
I feel I've warmed to Shonee.
Yep.
And now she's lost her bestie, so I'm going to exploit that.
And I think she'll want revenge. (CHUCKLES)
Great. Thanks for finding and cleaning the pawpaw, Monika.
Oh, my pleasure.
I think Brian is the most villainous player.
We're calling Brian King Grub.
Brian's work ethic really irritates me,
because he's always the last one to eat, but doesn't clean the pot.
(SPEAKS INDISTINCTLY)
SHARN:
He doesn't tend to the fire. I don't think he knows how.
Brian has been able to charm the girls...
Oh, you got another coconut. That's good.
Mm-hm. Heaps.
..and impress them with his gameplay.
And I know that she's working with Brian,
but Sharn is going to plant a little bit of a seed with Shonee.
We need to make Shonee doubt her alliance.
No hard feelings for you voting for me last night.
- No, I know. - I don't have an issue with that.
Yeah.
I think you're used to it by now. (LAUGHS)
I'm used to it. (LAUGHS)
It wouldn't be a tribal council
without my name getting put out there.
- Well, yeah. - Yeah.
Yeah.
Mm-hm.
Um...
Yeah.
- Mm-hm. - Yeah.
..I think, you know...
Yeah.
Mm-hm.
I hinted at the fact that Brian has control of this game.
I didn't want to give too much information to her,
because I don't know how close she is to Brian,
but I thought enough to plant the seed
that she understands
she should be fixing her mind on voting him out
if she wants to advance.
- Yep. Morning. - MONIKA: Guys.
BRIAN: At last tribal council, everything went to plan.
I flipped on my alliance, which sent Fenella home.
How's my hair looking, Grubby?
Turn around, please.
- Delightful. - See? Who needs Fenella?
- (LAUGHS) - (LAUGHS)
I've gotta just play it up to Shonee that I'm really shattered,
but... I don't give a stuff.
Oh, well...
Yeah. I...
Yeah. Either did I.
Mmm, mmm.
Yeah.
Mmm.
The fact that Brian didn't stick to the plan last night
has shown me that he's never intended on taking me to the final three.
It makes sense for him to take the two physically weakest people,
Monika and Shane.
So annoying.
I'm not happy about it.
BRIAN:
- Mmm. - BRIAN:
After my chat with Sharn, I don't know if I can trust Brian anymore.
For me, it means that I'm a lone wolf out here.
But don't worry, I'm a sassy bitch, and I always get what I want.
So watch out, bitches. (LAUGHS)
JONATHAN: Come on in, guys.
Monika, how was the mood back at camp after tribal?
Oh, you know, last night's tribal was really interesting.
And we were all really excited for Sharn and the move she pulled.
And like we always say, it's a reset, it's a new day
and I think we're all feeling really positive and excited
that we're the final five.
Sharn, you did dodge a bullet last night.
Yeah. I did, Jonathan.
How do you feel this morning?
Like I dodged a bullet, you know? I feel amazing.
Shonee, how do you feel about losing your closest ally?
This is a game, everyone's got to leave at some point.
So you definitely haven't seen the end of Shonella.
But you've seen the end of Shonella in Survivor.
Nice.
OK. You guys ready to get to today's reward challenge?
ALL: Yes.
Want to know what you're playing for?
Mmm. What's reward, Jonathan?
(CHUCKLES)
45 days out here, massive reward today.
Yeah.
(ALL CHEER)
Oh, my God!
Oh, my gosh.
- BRIAN: Commodore. - Brand-new Holden Commodore Tourer.
What size rims?
Sunroof. Yeah.
Leather seats too. (CHUCKLES)
For today's challenge,
first you'll use blocks to solve an arched word puzzle.
When you get that right you'll then climb along a beam
to collect bags that contain sticks and rope.
You will then use the sticks and rope to fashion a long pole
and you'll use that pole to retrieve a keyring behind a barrier.
First person to get their hands on the keyring wins reward.
I know that's worth playing for.
BRIAN: Oh-ho, yeah.
Let's draw for spots and we'll get to it.
OK. Let's go.
Alright. Here we go, for a very nice reward.
Survivors, ready?
You need to arrange these blocks to solve a word puzzle.
If you've been paying attention, it should be pretty easy.
As you build this puzzle it will become more difficult to hold up.
Brian is quickly out of the gate.
The puzzle creates an arch that will support itself.
The bigger the arch is, the more precarious it is.
Brian is working very quickly.
One piece left.
- Does he have it? - Done!
Yes! Brian, you're good. Move on to the beam.
You need to make your way along the beam.
Collect both bags.
If you or the bags touch the ground,
you need to go back to the start of the beam.
There are 10 knots on each bag.
You need to undo all of them.
Each bag contains sticks and rope for the next section.
Sharn, Monika, Shane and Shonee still working on their puzzles.
Monika getting close.
Done! Ta-dah!
No. Something's not right.
- She's gonna have to fix it. - Dammit!
Shonee's very close.
Trying to reach that last block. She gets it.
- Pops it in. Let's have a look. - Am I right?
Shonee's good. Shonee can move on to the beam.
Ooh, just like that, Monika's arch falls over.
She's going to need to start all over.
Shonee is on the beam. Brian has a huge lead.
He's working on his second bag.
Shonee is working on her first.
And Shane is good. She can move on to the beam.
Sharn struggling with her arch. It's looking very precarious.
Will it hold together?
Sharn out of nowhere drops the entire arch. She needs to start again.
Not good.
Brian has both bags. He can move on to the next section.
You need to open up each bag.
Shonee has her first bag.
Shane starts working on her first bag.
Brian starts to work on his pole.
You need to make a pole to try and reach the keyring.
You need to assemble all the sticks with only the rope that's provided.
There's definitely engineering involved here.
It needs to be long and strong to work.
Shane has her first bag.
Age proving no barrier for Shane. She is whipping across the beam.
Shonee working on her second.
Sharn popping that last piece in.
Does she have it? Yes! She's good.
Monika, that arch, it needs to hold together before you can move on.
And you're good!
Monika finally moves on to the beam.
Brian still working on his pole.
Sharn working quickly on her knots.
Shonee's good. She has both bags. Shonee can start working on her pole.
Shane has her second bag. She's close behind.
Brian has a very nice head start and has a crack at it.
No. That pole is looking very flimsy.
He's going to have to add some more sections.
Sharn has her first bag. She's moving on to her second.
Monika is working on her first.
Shane has her second.
Alright, Shane, you're good. Start working on the pole.
Brian trying to assess how much of a lead he has.
Massive reward on the line today.
Be very nice to drive out of here in that car.
Sharn has both bags.
Interesting strategy from Shane.
She's building her pole on the other side of the barrier,
measuring it as she goes.
Shonee really wants to make sure it's strong enough.
Brian working quickly trying to maintain his lead.
But Shane and Shonee are catching up. The pressure is on.
All it needs is one successful attempt...
..and that car is yours.
Monika is a long way behind, but she is not giving up.
Anything can happen in this game.
Nice save from Monika.
Monika has her second bag.
(BREATHES HEAVILY)
Monika still struggling.
So close.
Monika falls off. She needs to go back to the start of the beam.
Brian has another go at it.
Really bending in the middle there.
He reaches the key but it is not steady enough.
Brian going back, reinforcing his pole.
Shonee taking her first attempt.
Shonee has caught up. The pole looks very strong.
Is it long enough?
Not quite long enough.
She's going to have to make it longer.
Finally, Monika is across the beam. She can get in this now.
This is still anyone's challenge.
All it needs is one successful attempt and that car is yours.
Sharn is going to have a try now.
Not quite.
Her pole is crumbling in her hands.
Shane still working on her pole, yet to have a try.
Shonee has made her pole longer, has another crack.
Still anyone's challenge.
Very close.
Brings it back to do some more work on it.
Brian goes again.
Brian really struggling to get his pole up.
Very close to the ring.
He has a knot at the end of his pole to act as a hook.
He gets it on the ring, can't quite pull it off the peg.
In the ring again. He needs to snag it now, bring it back.
Oh, he has it. He's bringing it back.
Can he get it through the barrier? He's very close...
- And that's it! - Yes!
Whoa! Ho!
- Brian wins reward! - Yes!
Whoo-hoo!
(CHUCKLES) Mwah!
A new car.
- Oh, Brian, a new family car. - Buddy, well done.
Brian, congratulations.
You are now the owner of a brand-new Holden Commodore Tourer.
- How does that feel? - Oh, it's amazing.
The kids will fit nicely in the back.
Well, you haven't just won a new car today,
you've also won a night way from camp.
(CHUCKLES)
With a comfy bed, blankets, pillows
and something I know that you really want...
- ..pizza! - Yes! Pizza.
How awesome. (CHUCKLES)
Well, look, hey, it's no fun celebrating alone
so you can choose someone else to join you.
OK. Whoo. Um...
Spent a fair bit of time with this person...
..from day one...
..so I'm going to pick Monika.
Aww, thanks, Bri.
- No worries. - Pizza!
Alright. Brian and Monika, your accommodation awaits
and the pizza... get in the car,
- head on out. Enjoy. - Thank you.
Oh, a car.
Yes. Oh, ho!
I told you, you can trust people.
I know.
Yeah. I know. That...
Thanks, Bri.
- How good's a pizza and a comfy bed? - Oh, my God.
- Brian, this is your car. - Yeah. I know.
Oh, my God! I am so excited for you.
Well, Shane, Shonee, Sharn,
sadly got nothin' for you.
It's OK.
Grab your gear, head back to camp. See you guys soon.
- OK, Jonathan. - See you, Jonathan.
SHANE: I was disappointed that I didn't win,
but I thought this is really great
because we're going to have time to try and ally with Shonee
to win her over to our side.
Brian's made a big mistake.
BRIAN: I'm just going to say, I am still pinching myself
that I'm on an island in Survivor and I've just won a car.
(LAUGHS) I'm so excited for you.
It's so roomy back here too, for the kids. Like, perfect.
What?
Yeah, so rocking up to Reward in my brand-new Commodore Tourer,
all you could see was this beautiful gazebo set up,
overlooking the water, it was million-dollar views.
You don't get anything like that back in Melbourne.
Oh, my God. It's so cute!
- How good is this? - Beautiful.
Oh, my gosh! Chocolates!
We walked up, you saw the big, massive, comfy bed,
pillows everywhere,
you see a couple of bottles of mineral water...
Real mattress!
Oh, my God, I feel like we've just checked into a hotel.
Have a chocolate.
Mmm. Thank you. Thanks for bringing me.
- No worries. - I'm so happy.
By the way, there was a bottle of champagne,
so I cracked that open straightaway.
- (POP!) Whoa! - Yeah!
- Cheers. - Thank you very much.
- Yes. Cheers to you too. - Thank you.
- Congratulations to your new beauty. - Thank you.
OK, which would you prefer? Shall we have pizza?
Ice-cold. Yep. Let's go see what's...
King Grub, I'm the head of the tribe at the moment.
- I want to go the supreme first. - Alright.
Yes, I've got an idol in my back pocket.
But also, I've won the last couple of immunity challenges,
I'm a major threat.
- Oh, pizza. - Yeah, you're right.
I've been waiting for this for 45 days.
Being the only male left, those women can't win against me.
So I'm just thinking, "How good is this?"
Load up.
I just didn't have faith in leaving Monika with Shane and Sharn,
because I think Monika is just a sheep, she will follow.
- We'll go sit down outside? - Yeah.
And she's easily persuaded.
- Oh. - Oh!
This is the life.
Did you think I was going to pick you? How confident were you?
I was 50-50.
50-50?!
But the thing is, it would have been either me or Shonee.
- Mm-hm. - Because you can't really change...
The other two have shafted us.
- No. - Yeah.
I don't want to give them energy, either.
Did not want to refuel the opposition.
I look at Monika
and I don't think she's got too much of a sporting background.
She tries a lot, and that's all you can ask, isn't it?
You give 100%. Sometimes 100% is just not good enough.
And that's why I've kept her here,
because I've got Monika covered by a country mile.
Whatever this one is, is really good.
So if I can take Monika to the final two,
mate, we've got this in the bag.
So, are you worried about Shon being with the two...?
She won't go over to Shane and Sharn.
All it takes is myself to win immunity
and she is in the gun.
Surely she's not dumb enough to do anything.
(SHARN SPEAKS INDISTINCTLY)
(LAUGHTER)
So, currently there's an alliance between Brian, Monika and Shonee,
and I need to break them up.
I'm going to try and get into Shonee's head
and cement her doubt in her relationship with Brian.
My life in this game is in Shonee's hands.
I am fighting for my life out here now.
I feel sorry for all of us.
I just feel like we are never going to win against him.
I know.
And I just think it's going to be a whitewash.
- I mean, hopefully... - It's not a challenge, really.
It's just a foregone conclusion.
- Yeah. - Yeah.
No, I don't like being a sour loser,
but so many of these games, it's got to favour a 36-year-old man,
with his height, he is in the prime of his life.
He's just executing what he set out to do from the start.
And he's unstoppable.
I just don't understand
how he can win, like, so many challenges in a row.
- I know. - It's four, isn't it?
- Well, that's his plan now. - Yeah, he is...
Just take over.
But I think he's definitely looking at you and I, Sharn, as threats now
because, you know, out of everyone that's left,
you and I have both won immunities and...
Yeah.
I know.
What's your position with Brian, Shonee?
I'm 100% keen to get him out.
- Yeah, you are? - 100%.
- OK. Alright. - Well, I agree with that.
If the three of us are together on the vote,
then that guarantees us, you know?
Mmm.
We are in a much stronger position than the two of them.
Yeah.
I think Brian made an error by taking Monika on the reward.
The way it all panned out, maybe it is meant to be.
- Yeah. - A bit of destiny at play.
And it's also quite funny, I think,
that we all have names that start with 'SH'.
I know! (LAUGHS)
The 'SH' Alliance. What do you think?
- Shh... - Here we go.
Let's not say anything.
- I love it. - OK.
And that way, we don't have to talk about it anymore.
We know what we're doing. And we can just...
That way, they won't suspect anything. You know?
- Yeah, because, Grubby freaks out. - I think that's important.
I know he does. I see him freaking out.
This is perfect for me,
because now I'm going to work with Shane and Sharn
to take out the biggest threat.
ALL: Shh.
(LAUGHTER)
You vote for my girl Fenella,
I will find you and I will vote you out.
Shh! Alliance.
BRIAN: How did you sleep?
MONIKA: (SCOFFS) Perfect.
Just four days to go.
We could just say we had to be sent to Exile Beach,
and actually Exile Beach is fine.
(LAUGHS)
Oh, my God. Brian, look!
We have breakfast!
Oh-ho, we've got juice.
Chocolate.
Oh, it's chocolate.
Delightful.
Brian choosing me to come along on this reward with him,
it is definitely strategy.
Eat, eat. You need your energy.
He thinks I'm totally on board,
but I'm playing my own game of Survivor.
The jury, at the end of this,
are not going to want to give Brian the prize.
He is a lying, two-faced know-it-all all the time.
You can win immunity though.
It could be me.
You can do it.
- It could be me. - Mmm. It could.
This is a competition and there will be one winner,
and that half a million dollars is life-changing.
So, I am so ready for whatever I need to do to win this game.
My game face is on. I'm going to give it all I've got.
Ready to go?
Mark my words, I am the Sole Survivor.
- Yay! - Beautiful idea.
- Well done. - Cheers to us.
High five, girls.
And to new beginnings.
- Yeah, new beginnings. - The SH Alliance. (LAUGHS)
The SH Alliance.
Brian has been dominating all of the challenges,
so immunity for me is super crucial today.
One of us has got to win today, OK? Yeah?
(LAUGHS) Take out big dog.
Yeah, absolutely.
Totally do or die today for me.
I've got no other options other than winning immunity, I think,
so it is fundamental that I win today.
Come on in, guys.
And now bring in Brian and Monika.
- Oh! - How are you guys?
Monika, how was your first night in a real bed in 45 days?
Oh, it was amazing and we slept like babies.
I'm so grateful to Brian for taking me.
It was awesome.
Shane, it's day 46.
- Not many immunity challenges left. - Yeah, I know.
Would you like to get one under your belt?
I'd really like to have one, yeah.
A bit of water involved I see here, I hope that's to my advantage.
Sharn, you almost went home last tribal council.
Is it do or die for you in today's immunity challenge?
Yeah, I would say so. So, yeah.
- I really want to win today too. - Yeah.
OK, you guys ready to get to today's immunity challenge?
- Yeah. - Brian.
I need to take it back yet again.
Thanks, mate.
Once again, immunity is back up for grabs.
For today's challenge,
you're gonna build a fire in a drum on one side of a giant scale.
Once you have it burning, you'll then use a bucket
to fill another drum on the other side with water.
When the water drum is heavy enough, it will tilt the scale,
raising the fire drum high enough to burn through a rope.
The first person to burn through their rope wins immunity
and is safe from the vote.
As for the rest of you, at tribal council tonight
someone is gonna become the 20th person voted out of this game.
Alright, we're gonna draw for spots. Ready to get to it.
OK.
Alright, here we go.
For immunity.
Survivors ready?
Go!
Making fire is THE most essential skill you need out here.
Without it, it's very tough.
You need fire to stay warm, to cook food, boil water.
Maybe almost impossible to survive out here without fire.
After 46 days, you should have a pretty good idea how to make fire.
You're gonna have to make it from scratch.
Using flint, husk and wood.
The wind is gonna make it tough to start the fire today,
but it'll help you once the fire is on.
If you can't make fire on day 46, you may not be here on day 47.
Everyone has a slightly different technique.
Shane, scraping her flint on top of her bucket.
Monika, sorting through her material.
Sharn, building a little teepee around her husk.
Shonee, scraping her flint under the husk.
Brian taking a look at everyone else.
Looking for a clue.
Shane, tipping the magnesium from her bucket onto her husk.
Now she's sparking it.
Can she get it to catch?
Sharn, building an even bigger teepee with wood now.
You need to build a fire big enough so it will stay burning
while you're filling up the water drum,
but if you make it too big,
it's gonna require a lot more water to tip the scale.
Shane has a little flame. Can she keep it going?
That husk will burn quickly.
Gonna need to get some kindling on it to keep it going.
Monika still scraping.
Brian furiously blowing on his husk.
Can't get anything going at this stage.
Shane has a nice flame right now.
Everyone's scraping now.
Yes!
Sharn has some flame.
Oh, my God. Are you kidding me?
Shane has a little flame.
Drags the rest of the material over.
She wants to keep it going.
Sharn already has her wood structure built around her fire.
The fire needs to be high enough
to burn through the rope when it gets up there.
Sharn piles some more on.
She thinks she has it now.
She goes down to the water to fill up her first bucket.
Everyone else still trying to get in this.
How did she do it with the flint?
No idea. I can't see inside a bucket.
Sharn returns with her first bucket of water.
She is whipping through this challenge.
Sharn and Shane the only two with fire.
Monika, Shonee and Brian yet to get anything.
They're gonna have to pick it up if they want to stay in this.
Oh, Jesus Christ.
Immunity has never mattered more.
Just three tribals left.
Sharn back with another bucket.
She has a huge lead.
I... didn't see.
Brian desperate to get a spark.
Shane getting in on it now.
She's running down to the water with her bucket.
She has less material in her fire,
so her fire will weigh less than Sharn's.
It will require less water to raise it up.
So far, this is a showdown between Sharn and Shane.
No-one else even close at this point.
BRIAN: We've got time. Don't fluster yourself.
Have they learned anything out here in 46 days?
Sharn checking on her fire. Rebuilding a little bit.
Some of it's fallen over.
While she's doing that, the other drum is draining water.
A bucket's worth of water drains out in 45 seconds.
It's a double-edged sword.
You need to manage your fire, make sure it doesn't go out.
You need to work quickly.
Otherwise, all your effort will be for nought.
Shane tending to her fire now.
Throwing a few more logs on.
Sharn has a legitimate fire going,
if she can get it off the ground.
We have a little movement.
A few more buckets might do it.
Shane coming back now.
Trying to get enough weight to raise her scale.
Sharn working hard now.
Fatigue showing on her face.
This challenge tests everything you need in Survivor.
The ability to make fire
and the ability to keep going.
Sharn pours in another bucket.
We get some movement from Sharn, and it goes up.
- Yes! - Will it stay up?
Sharn's fire drum is high enough.
Licking that rope.
She has a big fire, but it comes at a price.
She needs to keep it up there.
She needs to keep filling the other drum with water.
Shane and Sharn battling it out for immunity day 46.
Can Shane catch Sharn at this stage?
She's gonna have to work quickly.
Shonee, Monika and Brian are well out of this challenge.
It's not over until it's over, Jonathan.
Sharn's fire's burning nicely, but will it stay alight long enough?
Shane coming back with another bucket of water.
Fire licking that rope.
Won't be much longer now.
And that's it!
Yes!
Sharn wins individual immunity.
SHANE: Whoo-hoo, Sharn.
Well done, Sharn.
Wow!
Well done, Shane.
Sharn, you said you needed to win immunity today and you did.
How are you feeling?
Awesome. So good and safe.
That's the best feeling.
Well, come on over.
- Congratulations. - Ooh. Thank, Jonathan.
Individual immunity is yours.
You are safe tonight.
Guaranteed a one-in-four shot at winning this game.
As for the rest of you, you know the drill.
Tribal council tonight.
Someone's gonna become the seventh member of our jury.
Grab your gear, head on out. I'll see you guys tonight.
You lead, Shon.
Brian has made the wrong decision in taking Monika for the reward.
Leaving Shonee with us was his greatest mistake in this game.
So, see you later, Brian.
BRIAN: How many pieces of wood?
(LAUGHTER)
Thank you.
A fire queen!
Yeah. Yeah.
Yeah, it's probably worst-case scenario that happened
was that Sharn won immunity.
How did you get the flame initially lit?
Just with the flint, you know?
I know but, like, did you build it in the bucket?
Is that what you were doing?
The alliance is pretty simple. It's myself, Monika and Shonee.
And then left over from the empire that crumbled after Mat left,
you got Sharn and you got Shane.
I just wanted Sharn gone, but now with Sharn winning immunity...
The only other option is voting Shane off.
So Shane Gould is going home tonight.
- SHONEE: I've looked. - Didn't you go and have a look?
- Yesterday? - I looked this morning. Listen.
There was nothing.
This game's about deception.
So I thought I'm going to try a little acting.
Don't really need to look for an idol.
Just gotta play it up, make it look like I'm nervous.
Oh, God.
Make it look like I'm panicking and trying to look for an idol.
Might just sit here for a while.
I'm in a strong position here with a strong alliance.
I think I've timed my run perfectly where I've got the power...
..because I've got the idol in my pocket.
The grub's not going home tonight.
- She's had some sun? - Yep.
Shh!
(LAUGHTER)
Does anyone want their water fill?
- Yeah. - Cool. Thank you.
The plan for tonight is that Sharn, Shane and myself
will all write down Brian's name.
The reason I want Brian out is because last tribal council
he didn't do what we were meant to do.
He didn't stick to the plan,
and that resulted in Fenella being sent home.
I'm just going to pretend
that I'm still 100% on board with Brian and Monika,
even though I'm 100% not on board with them.
Every single person on this tribe has lied or flipped before.
Now it's my turn.
Last night they were just like, "Um, you know,
"if you go with Monika and Brian,
I was kind of laughing it off yesterday, like,
"Guys, you got to get to three before you can...
"..before someone might figure out who's going to take you."
And I was just thinking, "You guys don't have a leg to stand on.
"Like, obviously you guys will go together as well."
Exactly right.
And I was just thinking, "Mate, who's a barrister?
"Who has all the friends on the jury?"
Yeah.
- If I left Mon there last night... - Mmm.
..it would've been just breaking her down even more.
Yeah. They actually didn't really try that hard with...
Yeah. That's what I... That's what I thought. I'm like...
They will come to you and, like, try to throw me under.
I don't reckon they'll come to me.
They're thinking an opportunity here, "Bang, let's take Brian out."
She just seems calm, Shane.
Does she?
She's not panicking.
Really, if they understand what's going on...
Mmm...
They can't have another idol to save her.
No, she would've used it.
- Shane, yeah. - Yeah.
But...
But I think the way with the play, we'll get Shane out tonight.
Yeah, exactly.
He was, like, saying he left me here because I'm, like, the strong one.
I'm like, uh-huh.
Um, but he was saying...
- So that means... - OK, alright. OK.
Yeah, cool.
Um, Shane...
Shonee just had a chat to me.
She said that Brian said, "Why is Shane not worried about tonight?"
Like, you seemed too calm.
- So you got act more worried. - SHANE: Yeah.
That kind of thing. Yeah?
- But just act like you already... - OK, yeah.
If Brian or Monika gets one single sniff that we've changed the game,
game might be over for me.
But I've been a spy and double agent sometimes
and now it's time to bring out my acting skills.
I had to demonstrate that I was feeling really insecure.
He wanted to be us three in the end battling it out.
And for Sharn to have won immunity was, like, the worst-case scenario.
Yeah, yeah. Of course.
- So it's between me and Shonee, then? - Yeah.
- I'm not pleased. - I know.
- I'm worried. - I know.
This is a part of the game I was really dreading
but I'm actually quite revelling in it.
Hey, Brisy.
Mmm?
I'm worried.
Huh. You and me both. (LAUGHS)
- Oh. - You're worried, I'm worried too.
I've got faith in my alliance but...
Yeah.
I hope that we're going to really blindside Brian
and fool him, fool him totally.
Current plan for tonight's tribal council is to vote for Brian.
He's a huge physical threat and he's a master of deception,
so it makes sense to vote him out.
But he is too calm and cool and collected before tribal council.
It's really giving me concern.
All afternoon I've been thinking he's been acting strange.
He's too just blase and not panic-stricken enough
and then he said, "I'm going to look for pawpaws. Oh, I mean idols."
Yeah.
I mean, why is he still joking about it?
Mmm.
And then he was saying that Shane's not stressed enough
- but then he's not acting... - Yeah, yeah.
I think he's got an idol.
There's a real risk at this stage that if Brian has an idol
he won't be sent home but Shane or Shonee will be.
So we've got to get it right.
Even though Brian is the more attractive vote,
it might be safer to vote Monika out.
If we vote the wrong person tonight that means basically we're done.
Like, I mean, Shane will be gone.
It'll be you and I and them two.
This decision could be all the difference
between me and half a million dollars.
Shane and Sharn and I've got a plan to get out Brian.
But I don't know if Brian has an idol.
That would be (BLEEP). That would be the worst thing ever.
Oh! So frustrating.
Given there's only five tribe members left,
we can't split the vote tonight.
Our alliance of three has to vote together.
I'm so desperate to get rid of Brian.
He's far too dangerous.
This might be the last opportunity we get to vote him out.
But what if he has an idol?
We'll now bring in the members of our jury.
Robbie, Sam...
..Mat, Benji, Steve...
..and Fenella, voted out at the last tribal council.
Well, Sharn, a lot can happen in 24 hours of this game.
It sure can.
- I mean, only yesterday you were worried about going home... - Yes.
..today you have a immunity and a guaranteed spot in the final four.
- How does that feel? - It feels amazing. Very relieved.
And, um... you know, it's always great to come to tribal council
with this necklace around your neck.
Brian... not winning immunity today, do you feel vulnerable tonight?
Certainly do.
Yeah.
That necklace does get quite comfortable and quite relaxing,
as soon as you get back to camp after a challenge.
But, yeah, hopefully... hopefully I can survive this tribal council
and hopefully I've got that around my neck in the coming days.
You have won three immunities.
You have been really dominating in challenges recently.
Are you worried that might put a target on you tonight?
I wouldn't say dominating.
I've been lucky with, um... the challenges that we've had.
And to be at day 46, I guess, um... I've done pretty well with that.
I mean, Shane, not only has Brian won immunity recently,
but he also won a car.
He did indeed.
Why do you think he chose Monika to share that reward with him?
Well, I'm not 100% sure
whether it was to try and tighten his alliance with her,
or to... forge an alliance stronger than he has with Shonee.
Or... he might have chosen her rather than me
because she's younger and prettier than me. (LAUGHS)
Don't be like that. I've shared a bed with you for three nights.
She's just being a little bit greedy.
(LAUGHTER)
(LAUGHS)
Do you wanna know the answer of why I picked...?
Sure.
I know what Sharn and Shane have been trying to do
over the last few days,
in trying to grab Monika over to the other side.
So I was a little bit nervous...
..if I did pick Shonee, leaving Monika there by herself...
But I had great confidence in Shonee...
..that she wouldn't sway to Shane and Sharn.
So you're saying it's potentially dangerous
leaving someone from your alliance back at camp unattended?
Would have loved to have taken two people with me.
So, Shonee, did Shane and Sharn approach you overnight
and pitch their case?
Yes, they did.
Obviously, you know, we're down to five.
People are gonna talk to you and tell you things
and try to scare you.
And you would expect that,
because if you have an opportunity to speak to someone alone,
you'd be stupid not to take it.
Well, Sharn...
..like Brian, you've also won three immunity challenges.
But you've got the necklace tonight.
Is this an opportunity to get rid of... of a challenge threat?
Um... yeah. I mean, you could definitely see it that way.
You've gotta take out the threats
to make it as clean as you can to get to the end, if you can.
But you've gotta have the numbers,
um... to be able to do that.
You know... I've tried.
I've given it my best shot, and I've said my piece,
and it's then up to those people, you know, so...
..if they're not willing to come onboard, what else can you do?
But when you're on to something good,
and if you have been... you know, working with certain people
who you already have trust with...
..and you think that you can move forward with them,
I don't see any reason why you should stray.
So, Shane, if the majority alliance is still operating tonight,
the only person they can vote for is you.
That's right.
As far I know, yes, there is still the majority alliance.
And, um... I'm feeling extremely vulnerable and rather glum,
but as Miss Monika keeps telling me, "Stay buoyant, Shane..."
(LAUGHS)
"..and try to manifest the outcome you want."
So I'm trying. (LAUGHS)
So, Monika... you guys are still three strong.
Is it business as usual tonight?
I mean, it's anyone's game
and I really think that the game changes every single day,
as we've seen.
You know, I'm always conscious about idols.
I mean, I think we counted six at last count,
so that's quite a number of idols.
But at the same time, I mean... I personally was so shocked
when Sharn revealed hers.
So I think... if she surprised me, then... somebody else could.
How about you, Shane?
Do you think there could still be idols in the game?
Yeah, there's always that possibility.
You know, it's a game of skulduggery and deception,
and, um... those hidden immunity idols are part of the game.
So, yeah, I think there's a... there's a chance.
Brian, when an idol is played correctly...
..like Sharn's was, someone unexpected can go home, like Fenella.
Are you worried that could happen tonight?
(SIGHS) Oh, jeez.
The last thing that's been really on my mind is an idol.
(SNORTS)
I'm... just worried that, uh...
..my alliance sticks strong.
Yeah, you can have an idol and it doesn't go to plan, um... but...
..yeah, I haven't really given it much thought, to be honest with you.
So what are you worried about tonight?
Sitting over there.
Well, Brian, you obviously feel like you're on the chopping block tonight,
so what can you say to the tribe to move that spotlight away from you?
There isn't... I don't think there's anything you can say.
You just... gotta have faith.
So, Shane, what would you say to the tribe
to move the target away from you?
Oh. I wanna stay.
Please... help me out. (LAUGHS)
You know, I want to sleep another few nights...
..you know, be able to speak to the jury at the end with someone else.
Go the whole way.
'Cause I like this game.
(LAUGHS)
OK. Well... on that note, it is time to vote.
OK, well, it is time to vote.
Sharn, you're up.
If only I could help youse with that water and fill up your bucket,
you'd still be here.
Um, but, unfortunately, you have to go.
Last tribal council Brian didn't stick to the plan,
and then I had to go and make a new plan
that didn't involve either of you.
Fingers crossed.
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.
Jonathan.
Thank you, sir.
Oh, you wily old thing.
I can confirm that this is, in fact, a hidden immunity idol.
Any votes for Brian will not count.
Once the votes are read, the decision is final.
The person voted out
will be asked to leave the tribal council area immediately.
I'll read the votes.
First vote...
That's two votes Shane.
We are tied.
Two votes Monika, two votes Shane, one vote left.
20th person voted out of Australian Survivor Champions Versus Contenders
and seventh member of our jury...
You need to bring me your torch.
SAM: That Shane.
I'm going to take the skinny one
so you all have to carry the heavy ones.
- Monika, the tribe has spoken. - Yes.
Good luck. See you guys soon.
- Bye, Jonathan. - Time for you to go.
- STEVE: Good work, Shonee. - Yeah.
Yeah.
Well, with four days left and four players remaining,
if you think you are the one playing the hardest,
it might be time to think again.
Grab your torches, head back to camp.
Monday night on Australian Survivor...
SHANE: Brian is now on the bottom.
Insecurities set in...
BRIAN: Alliances are done. They've lied to me. Stuff 'em.
..trust a bygone word.
If I have to lie, if I have to bend the rules, I'll do it.
Four Survivors...
SHONEE: I don't have one person I can rely on.
..hanging on by a thread...
SHANE: You have to do what you have to do.
I want to win this game.
..as each one...
We're going to have to turn on each other.
..fights for their life.
When you are a huge target, you get taken out.
(GRUNTS)
I just got completely blindsided and I'm still in shock,
like, I'm so disappointed that I'm gone,
but at the same time, I totally have exceeded my expectations.
I was concerned about being the first person voted out,
and here I am, the 20th.
You are getting my vote tonight
because we think that Brian has got an idol.
So you have to go so we can break up that alliance. Sorry, Moni.
Sharn is the biggest threat there is.
I was crying over voting her out a few days ago. I felt so guilty.
And in that whole time
she was just planning how she was going to vote me out first.
I'd love people to remember me for my social game,
not, you know, how I played in the challenges,
maybe forget about my face plants,
and then hopefully they'll all see that I'm a lot more than...
..ex-Miss Universe Australia.
