Survivor

Tribal Council was a disaster, as usual.

I think the votes are all going to Jeremy,

so I gave Jeremy the 50/50 advantage,

and he decided to not play it.

-Want to chat? Okay. -Yeah, yeah. Sure. Let me put this down.

But I guess this Tribal Council ended with a positive outcome

because Jeremy is still here.

On the flip side...

-All right. -...people know that I was willing

to play my advantage for him,

so now everybody knows about my advantage.

I feel like...

that was a ... cluster ...,

-"A." -It was, it was.

I've been wanting to play this really aggressive game,

but I sort of feel like I took a butter knife to a gunfight,

and I don't really know how I can recover.

Every single person, including Tony,

came up to me today, saying that it was you.

Oh, my God.

This isGroundhog Day for me here.

Three Tribals in a row that everybody is coming after me.

I-I wish I knew why I was so popular around here.

I genuinely am like,

"Why would they not tell me to not vote for you?"

Because I obviously would've jumped on board

-to not vote for you. -I don't know. I don't know.

-I'm gonna give you this back. -Okay.

But I have a connection with Michele,

and Michele gave me that 50/50 coin to play if I needed it.

But I give that 50/50 back to Michele.

I want nothing to do with that.

My game is not coming down to a 50/50 coin flip.

-What could I have done? -No, no, you're fine.

You're fine, you're fine, you're fine.

So, who do we trust?

-No one. -Nobody.

This is the penultimate step of the war.

This is right before we take off, and...

it's gonna get really, really ugly.

-How'd you sleep, Denise? I slept so well.

-Did you? -Did you, really? -It was-- I-- Yeah, no.

I don't know that I slept that much last night.

-Oh, you didn't sleep? -Oh, I'm being sarcastic.

Oh. Oh. Oh. -No. Oh. You didn't?

Last night at Tribal Council,

I just said to Jeff, like, "I'm done."

But when I say I'm done, it's not

I'm done with the game-- it's I'm done with dealing

with things the way that I've been dealing

and getting myself as upset as I have been about the process.

What are you gonna write on there?

Mm, I got a, I got a little plan.

-Yeah? -Mm. Just for my-- Just...

Like, one of those, like, moments--

like, it's all good.

-For your own sanity here? -Yeah.

I'm not a tattoo gal.

I don't have any tattoos. Probably never will.

But then I was laying in the shelter last night,

and I thought, "No, I need two tattoos."

I need the one on the left handthat says, "Endure,"

to remind me I can.

I'm capable of staying out here for another nine days.

But then I also know that it's okay to let go.

Like, "endure" and "let go"

and know that both of those are totally okay.

-A lot of work in front of us. -I know.

-Yo, we got to get here. -Well...

All I got is about a week left, yo.

-Two. -That's it.

Two? Two what?

-Two weeks. -Uh, how is that two weeks?

-You... -Nine days, bro. Five days of working.

Working week.-Yo, that's not two weeks, man.

This isn't a work week.

That's why police officers need to go back to school.

-Why? -'Cause you just said nine days is two weeks.

-Ten days is two weeks. -14 days is two weeks.

No. I work five days a week.

But you're not getting any days off.

-You're not going home on the weekends here. -No, but I'm...

You're still working on the weekends,

-so you count those days. -Not on the...

not on the off days, my friend.-Listen,

-you're here for 39 days. -Yeah. Yeah.

-You don't go home on the weekends. -No, but I'm chilling

on the off days. Off day, offday, off day, off day. I mean...-You're still working.

-You're still working. Yes, you are. -No, I'm not. No, I'm not.

No, I'm on a vacation in Fiji.-What are we doing right now?

-We're working. We're working right now. -I'm on vacation.

-No, it's not working. -We're talking about strategy.

-It's a game. We're playing. -It's work though.

-It's still work. -No, for you it is.

See, 'cause you work hard. I work smart.

I'm not gonna keep telling you that, man.

This thing, right, with Jeremy--

he's a fireman.

I'm a police officer.

We're always feuding, and-andwe have a little rivalry going.

It's for fun over here on Survivor.

But I know Jeremy is a number for me.

I know he trusts me.

So, right now, my plan is to try to keep Jeremy around.

Because if Jeremy goes home,

the hyenas are gonna come out in a full pack

and start attacking us.

Strategically, what do you thinkis the right move next?

If we get rid of Jeremy, then the other...

hyenas pull together...-And they decide, yeah. Mm-hmm.

-...then it's gonna be problematic. -It's not gonna be fair.

This part of the game is tricky.

Cops-R-Us, man. We got to stick together.

We're trying.

You know, how many years has it been since we first formed?

-Six. -Six years?

I said-- That's why I said, "Six years in the making."

So, Sarah and I, we've played this game.

Six years ago, we formed an alliance, Cops-R-Us,

and I burned her.

-And this was the plan in the first... -I know.

Right. And I lied to you. I'm sorry.

It took six years to get to that.

-It's crazy. -Three seasons.

This is a tiebreaker, Sarah.

Oh, my God.

Cops-R-Us.

Let's see who...

-I'm gonna have to blindside you, man.

Try it.

-Try it. -No, stop.

Now I got to know Sarah,

and we said, "Let's just stick together

and just keep this Cops-R-Us going all the way to the end."

And we've been doing good so far.

I mean, that's our plan right now,

is to take Cops-R-Us all the way to the end.

So, this is what's scary, is,

-okay, Ben hates Jeremy. -I know that.

-That's a problem. -Yeah.

We take out Jeremy, and we're sitting ducks.

And-and Ben won't not take him out.

Mm-hmm.

Ben, Sarah, Tony.

We're in a lock solid final three.

Period. No ifs, ands, buts about it.

Here's our problem that we're running into is

Ben wants Jeremy gone.

But if we got rid of Jeremy,

Tony and I are sitting ducks.

Nick's with us, but he doesn't want to go to the end with us.

I know that. I know that.

So, at this point, getting rid of Nick

would be the smarter option for my game.

But what's smart for my game is not the smartest for Ben's.

And, at this point, Ben's pretty stubborn,

and he's not gonna budge.

So I figured I would have

my work cut out for me this afternoon,

to have to try to convince Ben to get rid of Nick.

Jeremy is actually Tony's number.

Right.-When we're thinking about it--

no emotions,if it's just written on paper...

-Yeah. -...Jeremy is Tony's number.

-Yeah. -Jeremy wants to work with you and me also.

-Right. -And I believe that.

And so we need to take outpeople who are not our numbers.

-I know. -And, uh-- But-but I told you

that I-I would let you make that decision.

If you want Jeremy gone,I will write Jeremy's name down.

If Ben never gets a turn at driving,

Ben's not gonna go to the end with me.

So if we make Ben believe that this is his decision,

then everything's good.

But this is just a ploy

so we can vote Nick out.

The only personwho's not our number is Michele

and then Nick.

So, what if we just blindside Nick?

Uh, that's up to you, bro.

-I-I got your... -And we have Denise.

Are you okay to work with Jeremymore than you are

-with Nick at this point? -One more round, I could.

As long as it's me, you and Sarah.

Jeremy is more beneficial for my game at this point.

So there's this thought of keeping

Jeremy, Tony and Sarah.

With seven people left,

keeping them around is a shield for me.

They're bigger threats.

Nick's not gonna want to go tothe end with me, you and Sarah.

-Yeah, he wants to go with Michele and... -Yeah.

Where Nick, on the other hand, he's walking around frantic.

He's trying to play both sides,

and he's not doing a very good job,

'cause everybody's seeing it.

I trust Denise more than I trust Nick.

And Denise, she's lockstep with me,

and she'll vote any way

that we want to vote.
