Australian Survivor - Eighth Season

Previously on Australian Survivor...

..two indomitable tribes descended on the Australian outback.

- Go, go, go, go! - Let's go, guys!

The Brawn tribe lived up to their name...

- Go! - Go, Gerald!

..winning the first three challenges.

But at the last immunity challenge...

Come on! Focus!

..the Brain tribe used more than muscle...

Brains win immunity!

..sending Brawn to tribal council for the second time in a row.

At camp, Shannon, Kez and Flick had a plan to vote out Gavin...

We need to split up that strong three,

which is Gavin, Emmett and Simon.

Meanwhile, Simon was taking charge of his alliance.

Yep.

He needed to convince Big D to help get rid of Shannon.

I want you to come with us.

But Big D was no pushover.

Simon was left with no choice.

OK.

- Yep, OK. Done. - Yep. Done.

But at tribal council, Kez surprised them all

with a hidden immunity idol.

Any votes cast for Kerryn will not count.

And the alpha three...

Gavin.

..were suddenly two.

The tribe has spoken.

21 are left.

Who will be going home tonight?

Breathe in, hands up, and lean back slightly.

So, hand touches the ground.

And then just try to be balanced.

Day 8 - the Brains tribe have slowly developed some good morning routines.

And then tuck your toes.

We've been doing some yoga with Hayley.

And push it to the other side.

I'm really loving the peace and tranquillity.

I've missed the start of the class!

It's just like going to the gym!

Lift up your right leg.

Actually, I have no underwear on.

Drop your, like, back heel.

I only brought one pair of undies out here

and I've been wearing them every day.

I don't wear undies in my swim shorts.

So, hopefully, no-one gets a peek.

And then open up.

- I have no dangleberries. - What?

There's no berries to dangle when there's no hair.

You like that ass?

Oh, my God.

- Oh, cute! - Oh, two!

Mmm!

Day 8.

Made the week milestone.

But it doesn't feel like a week -

feels like day 48.

- Did you go another round, Benny? - Yeah, I did two. This is my second.

I'm gonna do a third. I need to eat.

You can tell we're definitely the Brawn tribe,

'cause every morning there's, like, Chelsea doing Muay Thai,

and Simon doing body-building poses...

Push it out, pull it across.

..Emmett doing a meditation, yoga session.

Mate, it's a full-on fitness expo.

I don't think it's hard.

But I'm not your typical Brawn.

I was a big real estate agent in Sydney,

moved to LA to chase the dream,

and now...

..I'm here to win Survivor.

My strengths are gonna be the social game.

To be a real estate agent, you need looks, charm, charisma.

Like, people love me.

I'm not a die-hard fan, but I know people

and this is a game of people,

and that's given me the tools to win.

It's OK.

So far, a week out in the outback

is actually quite similar to a week in LA -

you know, you're, um, sunburnt, dehydrated,

and you're probably gonna need counselling after this.

Last night's tribal was fun!

Oh...!

I played my idol, and I think I shocked a few people.

By voting Gavin off,

I've gotten rid of a HUGE alliance that was about to be formed.

I mean, don't get me wrong -

I'm a bit offended that everyone decided that I had to go home.

But, at the end of the day, I'm still here.

Yeah.

Ohh! Tribal council last night.

When we got back to camp, I found out very quickly

that Daini played the double agent - got in with us

and then went against us to send Gavin home.

Eek! Sorry.

Nup.

Yeah.

Gavin was definitely my closest ally out here.

Now, with Gavin going home, I'm left in a pretty precarious situation.

Last night draws a pretty definitive line in the sand.

In the majority, we have Shannon - I reckon she's the leader -

we've got Flick, Kez, Big D, Gerald and Benny.

And then in my minority is myself, Emmett, Chelsea and Dani.

It's a six-four split, and we're on the bottom.

It's a really dangerous spot for someone like me,

who is such a threat in this game.

I know. I know.

What can you do, eh? You can...

I think there's one thing we need...

..and that's an idol.

Yeah, here we go. Look.

I actually don't think Kez needed to play her idol last night.

But that means that the idol's back out there.

Did we check the old, uh...

..you know, around the back today?

I have what it takes

to be sitting there in the end,

and an idol is always something that can help your game.

I need to find it, and I will.

- In here? - No, no. At the front.

No, I haven't... Oh, this one?

- Yeah. - Yeah.

No. Unfortunately, that's just the paperbark.

Where else could it be, though, eh?

Do you reckon it's around here?

It's kind of fun

to see Simon and Emmett scramble after tribal, looking for idols

and figuring out what their next move is.

Yeah, dunno.

Simon's an absolute alpha. He's the leader.

He's got a bit of an ego on him.

But his minority is shrinking day by day.

We're sitting pretty at the top right now.

Oh! That looks good!

That taste, and then just add an egg on it.

Yep.

Cry...

- They count the grains out? - Yeah.

They'll all be fading away.

We're having rice in a lentil jus.

That's what we're having.

Might not be like 1,000% ready, but I think we should just eat.

- OK. - Right.

At this point, I'm absolutely sick to tears of rice and lentils.

We can't win an award to save our lives.

The dynamics on the Brains tribe are actually really good.

It took me like two minutes to make these.

Yeah.

Brains have won the last two immunities, which is great.

We haven't been to tribal council for about a week.

Morale is high.

Everyone's happy, everyone's getting along well.

Everyone except George.

George is really on the outer.

Making such a big move

and upsetting so many people at the first tribal council,

I think everyone wants to get him out.

But people are not giving George enough credit

for how he's playing the game.

He is playing 3-D chess at the moment.

- Everyone knows who you are now. - You've created a presence.

- Alright. Very good. - You can work it out.

I think George is maybe a sociopath or something along those lines.

I think he outsmarted the whole tribe.

Oh, that's a good log.

The Brains tribe have won two immunity challenges in a row,

but my position in the tribe hasn't changed.

I've been on the out since day dot.

I'm getting along with Wai the most,

and I love Cara.

Cara's just fantastic.

Aww! It's working! You're getting the knots out!

And... that's about it.

If we got a... if it was a really sick one,

we could, um, stack the team for that.

Oh, sick!

Like a, you know, jacuzzi and a fridge full of food.

No-one's hiding the fact that they're gonna vote me out.

But I know what's important here on Survivor -

it's assistance.

And that hidden immunity idol

is the best kind of assistance a person on Survivor can have.

- Really? - Yep.

He's walking with some purpose, there.

Yeah.

That's what I said.

So, I'm out watching George going around,

looking behind trees, looking under rocks.

He just doesn't even hide the fact that he's looking for an idol.

And then I find myself down at the water of the billabong

next to the rocks, looking around,

and out the corner of my eye...

There is this little... little tube down there.

And I couldn't believe my eyes. I thought I was seeing things.

I didn't look back,

because if you stand up and turn around and look around,

you look more suspicious.
