Survivor

Previously on "Survivor..."

Since day one, Coach has been the driving force

behind an impenetrable alliance of five.

We got Rick, Brandon, Sophie, Albert, and you've got myself.

And he added Edna as the sixth

I can't lie to anybody anymore.

But Brandon shattered any illusions that Edna had about

moving up in the pecking order.

Brandon said the other five peoples and the alliance

have basically just tolerated me.

We are merged.

After the two tribes merged, they were dead even.

At this point, it's a dead-locked, 6-6 vote.

You are the most powerful man in the game.

But Coach somehow convinced Cochran to

jump from six at the old Savaii to seven in his alliance.

Who is the strongest, strongest man on earth they called him?

- Hercules? - Yep. - I'm Hercules? - Absolutely.

I convinced Cochran he will be the man of the match.

Keith, the tribe has spoken.

With the number advantage, the old Upolu tribe picked off

the old Savaii tribe one by one.

Whitney, the tribe has spoken.

Leaving Ozzy, Dawn, and Whitney at Redemption Island.

Oh, man.

Waiting to battle it out for a shot at returning to the game.

The good news is the seven of you have accomplished your goal.

The bad news-- nowhere left to hide.

This game is about to change.

___

Then we were seven.

Whoo-hoo.

We have eradicated all former Savaii members.

We've got seven left and we're all family

so now we have to start sending home some of our own.

___

- Was anybody worried tonight or not really? - No.

Coming back from Tribal.

At least the sense of paranoia.

Because now people have ideas floating around

who is five, six and seven

and who is not in that top four?

I'm deluded into thinking I'm safe.

Like i said at Tribal, I'm going to stick to it.

I am happy with my my decision

no vacillating, no questioning.

Tribal Council was kind of alarming to me

because it was made clear I was the person that was going in seven.

Thank you for adopting me into your family.

Doesn't this feel great?

It feels like we're finally like...

When there are so many people here I hate it.

It doesn't feel like we're a tribe.

After surviving another night I am aware the family

could turn on me at any moment,

so I'm really reevaluating what I need to do to get further in this game

to make sure I'm not taken out by the family.

Gosh, Helter-Skelter.

I was a good kid and done well in school

but fifth grade for whatever reason was kind of my rambunctious period.

I wanted to change my reputation as a brown noser

so the nastiest thing I could think of was to start prank calling people.

I went back to my house

I didn't have a very good understanding of how sex worked

so I was calling these girls and saying things like,

"I think you're so hot. I really want to trade sperm with you."

I'm sorry.

And then I'd hang up and think that was a successful prank call.

I always thought his personality is something

Cochran has going for him out here.

When I first came here I felt kind of bad for Cochran

because I felt like people were bullying him.

But I can see now why people got annoyed with him.

You know, I get frustrated by the kind of air he puts on.

I think he's really proud of the move he made

and I think he still thinks that somebody will take him to the end.

I don't like it.

There has kind of always been this cult-like quality to the Upolu family.

Just hearing the word "family" over and over you can't help

but think of Charles Manson and the Manson family,

the family that comitted so many heinous murders.

Holy God, help us to stay strong, stay away from temptation,

Father God, don't get angry with each other and we'll just stay a family,

in Jesus' name, amen.

Brandon in particular seems almost obsessively devout,

to the point where it seems like he's trying to suppress something a lot more scary.

I don't want to be Sharon Tate in this scenario,

and I need some sort of plan or else I'm going to be exterminated.

I'm going to be given the poisoned Kool-aid and meet my untimely death.

I am hoping reminding my tribemates of the risks I took

will convince a few to vote my way.

Coming on in, guys.

Basically what I wanted to talk about is

I realize that my name is probably being floated around

to be the next person voted out of the tribe.

And it makes sense because I'm new here,

but I made a big sacrifice to kind of change my game

and I feel like the Upolu tribe did benefit from it.

So basically all I'm asking is for the debt to be paid back

just by saving me from one Tribal Council.

I'm not asking you to promise me final four or even final five.

I would just really, really appreciate it.

And it is my birthday in three days

so I'd love to celebrate my birthday with all of you.

If you want to talk about it I'm willing to leave and let you all discuss.

- All right. - Thanks, Cochran.

Cochran said, "I know a lot of you feel indebtedded to me.

" I don't feel indebtedded to you. Screw you.

He made an awful move. He should have stuck with his tribe.

I'll be honest, guys, I'm not really going to say much

because I think he makes a valid point but it's not my opinion.

It's the opinion of us five.

Whatever you want to do, I'll support.

I agree with Albert, he sacrificed so much for us

and I want it to be a group decision.

I would say that I would vote for switching it,

to keep Cochran here another day.

Yes, I think he made big moves but

___

___

Albert and I both see we do owe Cochran another day in this game.

If we could just pull one more vote to keep Cochran.

We've gotten down to the seven.

Everybody is fighting to be standing at the bitter end.

We're now bringing the competitors for today's Duel.

Ozzy, Dawn, and Whitney.

All right, you guys know the stakes.

In order to stay in this game, you have to win today's Duel.

Here's how it works.

For today's Duel,

you will balance ceramic dishes on the end of a long, wobbly arm.

The more dishes you stack, the more difficult it will be to keep them stable.

When your dishes fall, you're out of the Duel.

Last person left standing stays alive

and will continue their quest to get back in this game for a shot at the money.

Losers are out of the game for good

and will become the third and fourth members of our jury.

Take your spots.

All right, everybody pick up your arm and place it.

First dish you're going to put on is a large plate.

Make sure you have it where you want it. Get comfortable with that arm.

See what that feels like while you still have a chance to experiment.

All right, let's add a large bowl.

Take your time.

Place it, think about the dishes that are going to go on top of it.

As this stack grows it's gonna get difficult.

Dawn went to yawn, and it almost cost her this game.

We're now stacked nine dishes high.

We're going to add another dish.

You're going to add a small plate.

This is a million dollar do or die Duel right here.

Ozzy starting to wobble a little.

Nice recovery.

Time to add another dish.

You're going to place a large bowl.

Anybody can win this game if you can just get to the end.

Dawn loses her stack.

Dawn is out of this Duel and out of the game of "Survivor."

She becomes the third member of our jury.

- Great job, Dawn. - Good job, Dawn.

You're going to add the 12th dish, a large plate.

You saw how fast you can be out of this.

Don't lose your focus.

Time to add a small bowl.

Three, two, one.

Nice job.

Whitney starting to wobble a little.

Whitney loses her stack. Whitney is out of this challenge.

Ozzy stays alive and continues his quest to get back in this game.

You just wanted to break that.

It was a pleasure, ladies.

It was such a pleasure.

Dawn, what's the lesson that you learned about

what you're capable of in life?

That anything's possible.

That anything is possible. I mean, it's it's honestly, I mean,

I think that's going to be fuel for me and my family and my kids.

I mean, I feel like if one of my kids says, "hey, I've got this pipe dream,"

I'm going to say, "let me hang on and let's go."

I hope the people I'm around will feel this energy

I felt from seeing the impossible become possible.

Dawn, your adventure, sadly for you, has come to an end.

but I got to take it.

It's time for you to go. You become the third member of our jury.

Bye.

Jeff Probst, I love you.

- Put it in? - Put it in.

Sorry.

Whitney, what was this adventure about for you?

Just proving that you can do this.

It was amazing, and it was hard, but you make it through it,

and you push through on those days that you don't think you can.

My family is going to be proud,

And my friends will be proud,

And so I'm going to be proud.

28 days is a long time.

Whitney, this part of your life's adventure has come to an end.

It's time for you to go. You become the fourth member of our jury.

- Thank you. - See you at Tribal.

Ozzy, you stay alive in this game.
