Australian Survivor - Eighth Season

Previously on Australian Survivor,

it was a tense immunity challenge.

Ohh...

..but...

And he does it.

..Emmett won his third individual immunity in a row.

Back at camp,

George was still leaking information to the Brains Alliance.

But when he found out Hayley had double crossed him...

I'm just worried about Hayley tearing us apart.

..he skilfully turned both alliances against her.

Hayley sold us all out last night.

I think you should vote for Hayley.

This is going to be a landslide.

At tribal council...

Hayley.

..the vote was unanimous,

but it wasn't over yet.

And as a new day dawned on the Brawn Alliance...

JLP is coming, guys.

..things went downhill fast.

What have you done with Chelsea, mate?

She hasn't been feeling well

and the doctors felt she couldn't continue in the game.

Not only did they lose an ally...

It's heartbreaking.

..but...

..after a battle of wills between Hayley and Baden...

Baden starting to falter.

Oh...

..Hayley was back in the game.

And Baden became the first member of the jury.

10 are left, who will be going home tonight?

I think I went to bed pretty early

and then just kind of kept waking up

and then I started seeing weird patterns in the trees,

like, little people, like, there's a woman dancing.

Last night, people's minds started to start melting.

When Hayley and Baden walked straight back in

and told us they'd been living at Redemption Rock,

it was a shock to the system.

Redemption Rock sounds like Alcatraz.

You know? you don't want to spend any time there.

Yesterday, Hayley pulled off a massive effort.

Hayley won the challenge and now she's back in the game.

All I was doing was sleeping in my shelter,

woke up and realised that there's liars amongst us.

Oh, my God, I never thought of that.

I never thought of that.

Hayley coming back has really thrown the gameplay out the window.

- Good morning, Dani. - Good morning.

Could you please join me for a chat at the billabong?

I can. I can.

Hey, very robotic.

Let's do that.

Yes... she... can...

- ..Dr Emmett. - Chat soon, George.

OK.

Hey, guys.

- Good morning. - Hello.

What a night, man. What's going on?

Hayley's back and the whole place has gone nuts.

But I wonder if that will be the collective group decision again.

- Hayley? - Yeah.

- I think it's gotta be. - Yeah, I agree 100%.

Yeah, nothing to lose.

And she's got nothing to lose. Yeah.

There's 10 people.

We still need to keep George and Cara as much as we can

- so that we have the six. - Yeah.

And then once we start getting rid of some of the old Brains,

then we'll have more power.

Chelsea leaving the game, threw a spanner in the works.

Not only was Chelsea my closest ally, she was my friend.

Now, that Hayley is back in the game,

we've got another tribe member for Brains.

However, it doesn't change the majority that we've got.

Brawn have still got the majority.

We've got myself, Flick, Gerald, Emmett

and then Cara and George floating around.

And then there's minority of Wai, Andrew and Laura.

Last night, I had to fight for my chance to stay in this game.

I went up against Baden, a huge endurance athlete,

and I won,

but now I've come back into a camp where everyone has just voted me out.

No-one trusts me.

And I'm not surprised.

At Redemption Rock I realised that I've made this big mistake.

I wanted to have full control,

so I made deals with everyone and I threw people's secrets out.

And it was a terrible thing to do,

but really all that matters now is what happens going forward.

What am I going to do to make sure

I can win the trust back over of my old alliance?

I need to make sure that I apologise for the trust that I broke.

Surprised at how much,

like, the outback is taking a toll on everybody.

I feel like, yeah, this is probably the time

I'll start going mad.

- The... - Phoenix?

Phoenix.

Oh, I don't know if I'm Phoenix.

Risen from the ashes.

Yeah.

I just burnt every bridge I had before I left.

And this is a game about relationships and I blew them.

At tribal council, everybody voted me out.

I can see that I tried to jump to the Brawn

and they sold me down the river.

I tried to tell some truths about the way Cara and George were playing.

Obviously, they voted me out, too.

I think my... I don't know, my version of redemption

is probably just going to be to try to undo whatever I did

on the day I went out.

Cara is someone who I threw under the bus

and I know I needed to repair that relationship.

I now know that blowing out of information is not a good way to go.

Not a good way. Not a good way to go.

My only chance is to try to rebuild trust

because I lost it all.

And I don't know if it can be done, but it's my only option.

What I did at last tribal, like, that was pretty, pretty rough.

It was stupid, you know, like, I didn't think properly.

- 28 days. You're tired. - I know.

You can say that to the other people, you know.

So if you give me a commitment, I can try and corral our people.

Yeah.

But you just got to know that, like, you've got to earn the trust.

I've had a lifetime of lack of trust in my own life

and I want to work with people that I like and trust.

OK, good. Thank you for talking to me.

- Yeah. - I appreciate that. Thank you.

- Alright. We killed our breakfast. - I know, right?

Oh, we're hooked for life.

Oh, no, there they come. There they come.

That's OK.

Hayley's just feeling a bit vulnerable.

We should all give Hayley a hug.

'Cause we were just...

It's OK...

- "I don't want to do that." - Sorry.

- Screw her. - Are the other four down there?

I'm, like, like, you know I'm...

I'm sorry to all of you.

That was...

..it was not the right thing to do, strategically,

and it was also not the right thing to do by you,

especially by you.

And I paid the ultimate price.

It's... it's tough. it's tough to come back

And not feel like a pariah.

I tried to screw everyone over

and it didn't work.

If I have any chance, I need to show that have changed.

The question is where do we go from here, you know?

Can we instil trust in you?

Look, I know that it's going to take time for you guys to trust me,

but my version of what redemption looks like

is that I will not screw you guys again.

I don't want to do that because I want to redeem myself in this game.

I think that that's what redemption looks like for me.

I was delighted that I blew Hayley out of the water

with my big bad bazooka from Bankstown.

Hayley coming back to the game

from a numbers perspective definitely shakes up the dynamics.

There are now four original Brains.

Myself and Cara, who swung between both camps

and four original Brawns.

If we want to become Brain strong,

with Hayley, then we would have a six out of ten majority.

Moving forward, I know one important thing, I respect Hayley's game.

The question is this -

can we trust Hayley to work with her in the future?

And let's not kid ourselves. Her reputation is in tatters.

I feel lucky because I know that not many people

get the chance to play again,

like, it's amazing to be able to play this incredible game one time,

let alone to make a mistake and have a chance to redeem yourself.

I want to repair relationships with my original Brain alliance.

I'm going to prove to them they need me.

And that's all I care about going into this challenge.

Come on in, guys!

Didn't want to get the boots wet today, huh?

So, Hayley, how was your return to camp last night?

It was nice. Everyone was really gracious when I came back.

I really appreciate that.

So, George, is that true?

Have you two buried the hatchet?

I don't... I don't think there was a hatchet in the first place.

Hayley's back, she's back in the game.

She's a player, like the other 10 tribe members.

And it's game on from here.

Well, Hayley, I think it's fair to say,

- you've had a couple of rough days. - Yeah.

So, what would boost your spirits right now?

Ooh!

I think some amazing food reward would... would be...

..would just be the best thing ever.

- Yeah, I'll take whatever you got. - Alright.

Are you guys ready to get to today's reward challenge?
