Survivor

Last week, 20 seasons of Survivor led up to our most epic battle yet.

Rob Mariano, one of the game's ultimate strategists, and also one of the biggest

double dealers, had recreated himself as a hero.

A lot has happened with me personally in my life in the six years since I've played this game.

I'm learning compromise and Patience.

He led his tribe of villains by being a straight shooter and working hard.

I've been awed, Rob.

You as a man, and it's like when you talk, I'm literally hanging on every word.

I appreciate it.

Because of his efforts, the tribe flourished.

Rob jumps down on the final piece.

Villains win immunity.

But he made an enemy of Russell.

Watch your back, man.

Yeah, well, same thing for you, man.

Who used lies, intimidation, and chaos to further his own self-interest.

I'm that good where I can bring people together in this game for my good.

So Rob's leadership was short-lived.

My idea of trust and loyalty is different from Russell's.

Motivated by jealousy, Russell used his power of persuasion and gathered enough votes to eliminate his adversary.

Rob.

The loss of Rob has given the heroes a chance at a comeback.

Now they're down only two members.

And they've even discovered a clue to a hidden immunity idol.

We're going to look for it together.

But the bigger question, how will losing Rob's leadership and challenged dominance impact the Villain Tribe?

The waters are so muddy right now.

I mean, we were in the best position possible.

Coach, Courtney, and Sandra refused to vote for Rob, and now they're trapped in a

tribe controlled by Russell, whose ego may have just put the Villains in a hole they can't get out of.

He tried.

Poor guy.

David is all.

Excellent.

It's true.

Yeah, it's a great.

Oh.

Boston Rob was after me.

You know what?

I just won.

Big time Boston Rob, the super all-star.

He ain't nothing on me.

It's like game on now, huh?

I'm controlling this game.

I'll take care of all of them one at a time.

This is Russell Hantz.

If you ain't with me, you against me.

I love blindsiding people.

It's fun.

So much fun.

I only like doing it to people who deserve it.

Me too.

I do.

We did not want Boston Rob out.

We screwed up the whole tribe.

Ridiculous that they're cowards and they want to vote out Boston Rob because Russell is a bully.

No more, no less.

He's a bully.

I really hope we did the right thing.

I mean, I didn't want to vote off Rob this early either.

I really didn't.

The more I thought about it, the more I was really upset about it.

I miss him already.

Why were you so quick to get rid of him?

I wasn't quick to get rid of him.

What are you talking about?

I feel like Jerri made a big mistake in aligning with Russell.

Now, I'm forced to go that direction, and I feel at this point that it's an alliance based on lies.

This is a piece of work.

Are we going to the Final Five with him, or are we going to try to make a play?

I say we just see what happens with the merge.

The Villains are into Crapper.

I don't think we'll win another challenge.

We're done.

We're toast.

Pray for the merge.

I'd.

Say we bring it up pretty high.

Where's DT?

The Hero Tribe had plans to look for the Hidden Immunity Idol as a group.

But the best thing for me is to make sure I know where it's at.

This is Survivor, and you don't know what these other people are thinking around here.

The clue said that the idol's in the creek or something, so I'm just going to swing by there and take a gander.

I think someone's disappearing, too.

Oh, man.

Oh, that's it.

Did you just find it now?

No.

Oh, my God.

Let's get out of here.

Immediately after I found it, I was like, you know what, I better get out of here,

because I wasn't sure if I was going to tell anyone, and before I could even move,

Amanda walked up, so I was like, well, I'll show her.

Found it.

You found it?

I just found it.

Then immediately, Candice walked up, so I was like, you know what, if I come clean, our tribe will come together.

No one's going to vote me out because I have it.

Where is it?

Right behind that tree.

I walked up, after my long walk, five minutes.

Can I see it?

Yeah.

The first one of us that needs this after a merge, we use it.

It's a beautiful thing.

And we take them down with it.

Nice.

Beautiful.

Colby.

Sweet.

Nice work, brother.

You want some of that?

I think.

You walked up.

How close was that?

Close.

J.T.

Found the Hidden Immunity Idol, which is not so great in my book because J .T.

is the slimiest guy out here.

He's running the tribe.

He's got a little best friend interest with everybody.

In every vote, he's been the one that's going back and forth, and everybody's

coming to him trying to figure out which way is J.T.

going to go.

And nobody calls him out.

I'm afraid to ever say anything about J.T.

because he's like the golden boy, you know?

He's always right about everything.

Like, he's always in with everybody.

Yeah.

Right?

Amanda, isn't he in with you?

Is he in with you?

Isn't he in with Rupert?

Isn't he in with Colby?

That's true.

It would be in Amanda's best interest to work with me to get rid of him and the idol, or get rid of the idol.

Either way, J.T.

is dangerous.

I'm ruining my teeth with this.

I know.

It's real food.

We're all going to die.

No, we're not.

Yeah, we will.

We can't not eat for that long.

We can.

It's unbelievable.

We're literally starving out here, and I'm worried.

I mean, people are shutting down, and you can see it.

I mean, we're already on our heels because we're losing.

The time for exigency has exited.

It is do or die out here.

Now for a challenge that's good, clean fun, no oil, no mud, no brawling.

It's not who strikes first, but who strikes most.

Your best meal yet is calling.

It sounds like an individual type thing.

Yeah, it does.

Merging.

Yeah, I mean, it doesn't say anything about tribe.

Your best meal yet is calling.

Sounds like a merge to me.

Today, the villains are all hoping that it's a merge.

It's a challenge of good, clean fun, and our best meal yet is calling.

So, I'm happy about that.

I think we should take it.

I think we should take everything.

Just in case we don't come back.

I'm hoping and praying that it's a merge.

And we don't know where we're going to end up.

So, we definitely want to get all of our stuff together and take the tools,

the tarp, all of our belongings.

Because we could end up somewhere else.

Oh, yeah!

Come on, you guys!

Oh, my God.

Wow.

Oh, look at the pizza, guys.

Heroes, get your first look at the new Villain Tribe.

Austin Robb voted out at the last Tribal Council.

Oh, my God.

Wow.

They brought the tarp and the tools.

Looks like we're merging.

So, Rupert, shocked that Boston Robb is gone?

It sure looks like they got a woman's alliance.

Time will tell.

When I found out that the Heroes Tribe thinks this is all girl lines,

I thought they're making a huge mistake.

Because there's no girl lines over here.

Robb got voted out last night because of me.

But now...

If we merge, the Hero Tribe, they'll let me know whoever they're voting for if they think I'm the one that flops.

Why wouldn't I flop if I'm in trouble?

I'm like, help.

Villains, you brought clearly your entire camp.

Talk to me, Russell.

I'm sure everybody has the merge in mind.

And if there is a merge, we're prepared, they're not.

The first thought I had when we saw them walk in with toolbox in hand was,
