Survivor

Okay.

We all know I'm the backup. We know I'm on the bottom.

-Sorry, Jake. I don't even want to say

I was left in the dark.

I wasn't even left in the same dimension.

Previously onSurvivor...

Yeah.

I placed one of my idols in Julie's bag

to make sure she stayed safe.

This is it.

Julie drops.

-Bruce wins his second individual immunity in a row. Wow.

Ugh. Bruce winning

another immunity is tough.

I already know everybody wants Jake out.

Such an easy vote, but I don't want that.

She's trying to get me out.

I want Kendra out,

and that's what I'm gonna push for.

Tenth person voted out

and the third member of our jury: Kendra.

The tribe has spoken.

That Tribal Council... Oh, my gosh.

And thank you for, uh, not voting for me tonight.

Appreciate it.

So tonight, Kendra was blindsided, and I'm still alive.

I had to play the dead dog for the last two votes,

and I don't have to do that anymore.

I got friends in this game.

I got people who want to look out for me.

Knock on wood, but I think I'm back in this game.

I'm back in this game as a player, not as a pawn.

That was a huge thing, and that was like, whoa,

but I hope you guys know that, like, I got your backs.

You know what I mean?

Jake, you know, he's just bumming through the game.

He's like Charlie Brown.

There's a rain cloud that follows over the top of him.

And miraculously, people are just

aiming right past him at other targets.

Interesting that Bruce ended up...

I mean, I guess he never really liked Kendra, but...

-Just let her go. Voted with it-- for her. Yeah.

Just-just went with it.

On the other hand, Bruce continues to be

in a very interesting spot in the game,

where he has power, right? He has the idol.

Okay, so we need to get rid of Bruce's idol the next go.

Oh, yeah. We do.

And so he pretty much

is guaranteed to play that at next Tribal Council.

Unless he wins immunity again. -Yeah.

The problem is that

Bruce winning all these challenges

shreds any possibilities

of flushing his idol.

When I was in the Navy, I was a young, strapping lad.

Okay. Okay. Too soon. Too soon. -Okay. Okay.

So for my sake, and for the sake

of everyone else out here,

Bruce's immunity run

has to come to a clean and swift end ASAP.

Like a freaking baby.

We're in such a small group here.

-It's just so crazy. I know. It's kind of weird.

-It's like... It is weird, man.

We're really gonna be leaning on each other after this.

-That's for sure. Yeah.

I did not sleep last night. I just couldn't sleep.

Because I am

connecting with people. They're trusting me,

and I'm lying to their face.

Ninth person voted out

and the second member of our jury: Kellie.

What the hell, guys?

I mean, oh,

with both Kellie and Kendra, I was devastated.

They just wouldn't even look at me. It felt so personal.

The feeling of betrayal is hard for me.

I am used to being very loyal

and trustworthy, and you can count on me

no matter what.

Just the thought that there are two people out there

that are like, "Man, I wouldn't trust Julie

as far as I could throw her" hurts me.

-Oh, come on, Julie. -Sorry. Sorry.

No, it's okay. It's okay.

It's just, I don't lie in real life.

I didn't understand how powerful my role--

that I agreed to, that they put me in--

as this mama, trusting character

would make it hurt that much.

There is a chance, at the end here,

-that things could get hairy. -Yep.

You four are, like, people who, like,

I-I really, you know, I really care about deeply, and...

-And I'm saying, you... -Okay.

I just want to know that, like,

we're all gonna be okay.

-Like, we're good no matter what. We're good no matter what. -100%.

-Hundred percent, Drew. -Okay. All right.

We're getting close to the end,

and it's even more complex and harder than I thought.

It's an emotional mental test for all of us.

I mean, I have loved my alliance of four

with Drew, Austin, Dee and myself,

but, at some point, we got to turn on each other.

I almost can't even go there.

How do you vote them out and they love you?

I mean, are you kidding me?

Yeah, it's four-four. Yeah, yeah.

Yeah.

That's what's scaring me.

-Yeah. Who's making decisions for those four?

Do we know? Is Dee the one that says,

-"Here's the vote," and they all... -Um... I don't know.

Right now,

there's still four people who have come in

from a majority alliance into the merge.

And part of me thinks they're not

going to turn on each other. It scares me.

I-I hope that Drew, Austin and myself

are working together, but I am now re-questioning

my alliances, where people are standing.

And I'm being forced to go back and forge new relationships.

If we want to make something happen for the other side...

-Yeah. Yeah. -we're gonna all have to get together, and... Yeah.

What are your thoughts about that?

Um...

If I were to make a big move

against this strong Reba four, I need support.

And what's extremely frustrating about working

with Jake, Bruce and Katurah

is they don't know how to work together at all.

I'm on the chopping block for the next time we go,

-just because of... Only your idol.

-That's the only... Yeah. -Yeah.

Then on top of it, Bruce doesn't seem interested at all

in playing his idol strategically.

He's only interested in protecting his own butt

-with his idol. -Uh, all right.

And what he's not realizing

is he actually has an opportunity to flip

the power dynamic while there's still,

theoretically, four and four on this tribe.

I'm so glad we're back working together.

-Thank you very much. -Yeah.

It just feels so good to be back on the same page.

Between you and I and nobody else...

Yeah? Uh-oh.

-What? -The worst thing that you could ever do in Survivor.

What's the thing you did?

You gave her your idol?

Wait, no, you didn't.

Hypothetically, someone could take my idol

if they had the Knowledge Is Power Advantage,

so I gave my idol to Kellie

to hold on to, because I was nervous

of the Knowledge Is Power.

Kellie got voted out with my idol.

Worst-case scenario.

Well, "Oh, no. I lost my-my idol."

But it's in my pocket. So...

I tested out my first really big lie.

-I still have that. I'm not... -Why...

-But here's the deal. I need... -What is that...

-Listen. Listen, listen. -Damn it.

I'm saying it to you, 'cause how did you feel

about my acting when I told you about that?

-I believed you. -One of them are gonna get that.

Okay. Okay.

-You feel me? -No, I don't.

Bruce's plan is ridiculous.

I didn't believe it for a second.

I mean, I don't believe anything he ever says to me,

but it doesn't really matter,

because this won't work.

Everybody knows he has an idol.

No one's gonna believe this, by the way. Like, no one will.

-I started freaking out because Knowledge Is Power. -Okay.

So she got voted out with an idol in her pocket?

With an idol in her pocket.

-My... -Your idol in her pocket.

Yay.

Okay, that's a... that's a problem.

Now I got to fight a different way.

My diabolical plan-- it's working.

So I'm leaking information. I'm like my own TMZ right now.

I mean, look, it was the right move,

but you bet on the wrong horse. That's all.

-You know what I mean? -Right.

With this lie that I'm telling Jake,

it will get out. I know it will.

He's going to spill the beans to Reba,

because Jake does not have the ability

to play this game in a way to keep his mouth shut.

Okay. All right. All right.

All right. Cool.

I need them to think that I'm vulnerable,

because now, the four Reba-- they're all gonna vote for me,
