Previously on survivor

Jeff,i'm a former special agent.

You are a crazy person.

Before the merge,both tribes were rife with infighting.

David more pressure is really stressing.

You're wrong there.Don't even go there with that.I don't freak out.

But after the merge,the former ometepe tribe

and the former Zapatera tribe set aside their internal squabbles but stayed divided against each other.

I want my group to hate zapatera.

And matt was caught between the two so rob immediately took him out.

He can't be trusted so because of that,i'm giving him a one-way ticket back to redemption island.

What the hell,guys.

Down 6-5,the former zapatera hatched a desperate plan.

We tossed around the idea of trying to see if we can woo some of the ometepe tribe.

At back-to-back tribal councils they tried to convince the ometepe low man to jump ship.

David,of the six,who is on the bottom?

We think phillip.

But phillip wouldn't budge and played the honor and duty card.

I served in the united states army and had the second highest medal they give during peace time.

- Give it up. - I don't have to give it up.

You sound like a lunatic.

Phillip never ceases to amaze me.

So mike was voted out.

The tribe has spoken.

And so was david.

You will now head to redemption island where you will have a chance to get back in the game.

- All right. - Good luck.

Now ralph,julie,and steve face a united ometepe tribe

while for the first time three competitors face a duel on redemption island.

I'm putting my trust and my faith in you Lord Jesus,because you know...

you know how much I want out of this game.

I want nothing to do with it,Lord,but...

if you want me to stay in it,God,I will...

I will fight.

I can't sleep.

I'm trying to figure out how i'm going to pull myself up by my bootstraps and keep my sanity.

And I want to...

show your glory to everyone,Lord.

But I'm just such a broken man right now.

I need you to protect my heart,Lord.I need you to protect my mind.

I just licked my wounds and bleed for a little while and hurt,

but i was ready to kind of get in the mindset of all right,redemption island,part two.

Let's do it.

And then curveball.

God,my brother wouldn't quit.

My dad wouldn't quit.

You would never quit,lord jesus,and your spirit lives in me.

To my arrival at redemption island matt and mike are both still here

so let's see if i can make some noise here and maybe get back into the game.

Oh,my god.Who is that?

It's murphy,david murphy?

What!

I can't see anything.Where am i going?

What the world,man.What...

David rolls up,and,i mean,my mind is completely blown at this point.

Idon't upon what to think.

Like,we have no idea what's going on.

There's no way they're-- we have to have a duel tomorrow.

Duels now are all going to be three-person duels.

Or what if there isn't-- i mean-- what if this is the last one?

I guess if we're already all on the jury-- that's just weird.

Yeah.

Can you-- can you have a duel between three people.

That would be a trial.

A trual.

A trual?

This is certainly an interesting choice.

I have no idea what to make of it.

Who knows what the other twist may be.

We tonight know if there will be a duel or what the duel maybe or who will be in it.

So*************

Good night,zapatera.

Good night,team,zapatera.

The zapatera rejects.

Isn't the skin good?

Yummy,huh?

I'm glad my mood changed around.

I was really happy dave went off instead of me.

I wasn't ready to go yet.

He didn't have much to say.

No,the whole thing was occupied by phil.

Uh-huh.

Flapping his gums.

Tribal council last night was six on 4,now six on three against ralph,julie and i,

and after dave's performed so well the last couple of challenges,we lose dave.

And i just haven't really figured phillip out.

I can't imagine somebody always being that strange.

Pretty much everything he does bugs us,

but the rest of ometepe are sticking to him like glue.

Boston rob's got them all very tight.

I'm not sure if phillip is even a good guy at heart,

but he's doing his thing.He's out here surviving.

I take my hat off to him.

The only hope we can hang our hat on is how irritated they could be with phillip.

There's always a chance.

survivor.Season22 Episode10

When I got into buddhism,one of the things that you learn***

is your spirit is interconnected to every single living thing,

including datagata,which you might call god or allah or buddha.

It will manifest itself in a number of different ways.

You can hear it.You can feel it.

And you just havtoeilling to aeptft for what it is a channel that.

I d a meditation th morning i was focusgn my ancestors.

You kw,i had a premonition througmy grandfath***

and i to thats a iicatnhat as my relationship with rob.

I think it has finly come to what i cl tull circle o trt.

And m gng t play my re.

Thatoesn't mean i'mot pursuing the million dollars because i'll be here the end the game.

***********

It's ready.Do you want to eat it?

Yeah.

The food situation for the old zapatera tribe is-- is great.

We have a ton of rice left.

And we're eating it.

There's so muchice left.

Pretty good.

And we're just going to eat and enjoy and at least we won't be hungry.

The hunger ha has been tough but we're happy now.

We're happy in the food field.

- You go? - Yeah,i'm good.

**********

I wouldn't want it to go to waste.

Life's pretty good,man.

The rice situation is pretty ugly.

This morning,julie was able to scoop seven and a half scoops of rice out of that cooked pot,

in our old tribe we would have two of those sea shells,

one,two.Done.

She made enough that they took seven cups...

seven and a half cups out of the pot.

I want to figure out a way to get even.

I contend that she's trying to use up the rice before they go.

I plan on scooping quite a bit of rice out of their at any time and putting it in ours.

The fact of the matter is all rice here belongs to all of us.

Phillip is the rice police.

I'm now watching the zapatera like a lion.

It's trivial.

But,apparently,that's the state of the world today and murlonio tribe.

Please be tree mail.Please be tree mail.

We got something.

"As comfortable as you all may be,

it's time again for you all to see a battle between those outcast who will leave and who will la last.

Time again for all to see."

Sweet!

We'll now bring in the competitors for today's du duel.

Matt,mike,and david.

Welcome to redemption island arena.

We invited the rest of the tribe to witness your duel.

Matt,back-to-back blindsides.

Where's your emotional state of mind right now?

I never knew that strangers could hurt me so deeply.

Uhme i mean,i guess shame on me for letting them fool me twice,un.

*******It hurts,but i'm ready to keep going if i can.

All right,should we get to today's duel.

- Yes. - Absolutely.

Here's how it works.

Each of you will have 150 wooden tiles.

You will use those tiles to build a house of cards.

The first two to reach eight feet stay alive.

Loser is out for good and will become the first member of our jury.

- You guys ready to get to this? - Yeah.

This is it.

One shot.

Take your spots.

All right,here we go.Survivors ready?

Go.

The only basic rule is you cannot stack these just flat one on top of each other.

You have to build a traditional house of cards.

Mike not messing around,right around the six-foot mark.

Matt around the five-foot mark.

Oh,boy.

David hovering around three feet.

This stack is so tall,mike is now moving to the ladder.

Getting closer and closer to that eight-foot mark.

You don't have to be first.

You just don't want to be last.

Mike getting very close.

Nice,mike.

Almost there.One more stack will do it for mike.

If he can just remain calm.

Matt doing very well.

David catching up quickly.

Mike is just short.

This will do it.

Gotta get that to lay on its o own.

Mike flirting with disaster,being very careful,does not want to lose this stack.

Not with matt breathing down his neck and david right behind.

David is now back in it.

David's on his ladder.

Matt getting closer.

Mike has a very tall stack.

Just doesn't want to lose it.

Matt getting very close now to finishing.

David getting closer to finishing.

Mike is less than a half an inch away.

Gotta reach the top of the post.

If he can stack it and get his hands away and he does.

Mike is good.Mike stays alive.

Matt is very close.

Can he do it right here?

David trying to get in it.
