Australian Survivor - Eighth Season

Previously on Australian Survivor...

- Keep going, keep going, keep going. - ..Brawn was on a challenge roll...

Go, team!

..firing on all cylinders to bring home reward and immunity.

Let's go! Let's go!

Sending brains to their third tribal council.

King George's head has got to go.

With a 6-4 majority, Joey was hell bent on getting George.

Tonight's the night we can finally chop King George's head off.

Then Cara found an idol.

- This idol. It's a golden ticket. - Sit down.

The plan was to play it for George,

but it relied on Baden and Wai voting with them.

If we stick together, they have no option.

- But... - I'm sorry, George.

..Wai had already decided to flip sides.

I'm in a state of shock.

The thing is this.

You don't play your idol, no matter what, and you survive, Cara.

But at tribal council, empath Cara did play her idol to save George.

And...

Cara.

You're a hero, Cara.

..she was suddenly out of the game.

Or so they thought.

19 are left. Who will be going home tonight?

"Your tribe may have spoken, but your game is not over.

"Another tribe is waiting for you. Take this torch and join."

Jinkies. Onwards and upwards. Holy guacamole.

I don't even know what to say. I can't even deal.

I thought it was all over for sure. I think it's an amazing twist.

Picking my way over rocks and water, and I'm just...

my head is already spinning.

I'm thinking, how am I going to be received into the Brawn tribe?

Who knows what's going to happen next?

Hi!

Oh, sh...

What's going on?

- Oh, my God. - Wait, what time is it?

I just wanted you to know.

You are?

I'm superstitious.

The moment we've put that snake skin on that cow head, we started losing.

I'm going to take it off and see if we win.

Yeah.

We're a resilient bunch over at Team Brains.

Yeah.

We just keep showing up with a big smile on our face.

Another crazy tribal council at the Brains Tribe last night.

Oh, my. It was one for the ages.

There were tears. There was bloodshed.

There was all sorts last night.

We didn't get our man, Georgie, but we got our girl, Cara.

So I'm sitting here pretty at the top of my tribe.

It's a good day for man and womankind

out here in the Aussie outback.

Yeah, yeah, 100%. Yeah.

In terms of my alliance,

the pecking order is myself, Laura, Andrew and Georgia at the top,

Rachel, Hayley and then last night I've got Wai on board

which is majority.

So I think that I'm the one calling the shots.

I'm the big lion and I'm the big bad lion, the head of the pride.

I'm running this game.

I'm feeling sad in the camp this morning, now that Cara is gone.

Last night's tribal council was my crucifixion.

If Cara didn't save me by playing her idol for me, I was out.

I mean, that is one of the most honourable things

that someone's ever done.

There were three people that were loyal on this tribe,

myself, Baden and Cara.

I thought Wai was loyal.

So nothing was more disappointing at that tribal council

than when Wai flipped.

Wai believed the snake oil salesman in Joey.

But when I write my book featuring Joey, my main character,

that's going to be a best seller.

And now my kingdom has fallen.

I can't even look her in the eye

because I can't stomach her betrayal.

But I know one thing.

I'm going to confront Wai.

Let's move away.

Why do you have to stab me in the back?

- We were strong, we were loyal. - I know.

And things just kind of fell out the other way.

My concern is that you're very volatile.

I know that you've taken me along this journey,

but it's just been really frustrating to just feel like

I'm sitting back and being quiet

and just trying to kind of go with your strategy.

It's still me, Wai.

I will always have a target on my back.

And you'll fight to the death

and continue to bring chaos to everything.

And I kind of want to enjoy my time. And I know...

I didn't ask to be frozen out by Joey.

- I didn't ask for that. - I know you didn't.

But you are causing fallout around you.

I just think that what is going to make me feel most at peace.

Oh, well.

- I did not expect this from you. - I know you didn't, George.

I'm going to leave that at that now.

As a result of tribal last night, emotions are still kind of high.

Things are a little bit awkward, especially with George and I,

but I finally feel like I made a move that's right for me.

I took a gamble and a risk when I made the decision to defect

from the minor alliance to the majority alliance.

I did feel in the beginning that I had to align myself

with George just because I owed him,

because of the fact that he saved me from the first tribal.

But I'm not here to play anyone else's game but my own

and George, his game has just become quite volatile

and difficult to work with.

So I'm happy to be separated from George.

I took some control last night and I'm stepping up my survival game.

One, under, two, three.

How pretty is the red?

I am delighted to be rocking the Brawn tribe path.

I'm in the stronger tribe, which is... very pleasant.

Breakfast.

I'm the luckiest person in the world.

So fancy.

Because it's got that lemongrass in it.

This is delicious.

Did you roast the almonds too?

This is how the other half live.

The luxury in the Brawn tribe is beyond.

They've got forks, for God's sake,

which can also be used as brushes.

I've just found out we've even got serving plates.

They've got yoga and boxing.

Relax your shoulder, more hip.

And dance class.

To the left, to the back.

I really have gone from Survivor hell to Survivor heaven,

and I'm so happy.

I feel like I've actually just landed home.

I played my idol to save George at last night's tribal council.

And I thought I was voted out of the game.

I can't wait to see the look on their faces

when the Brains tribe realise that I'm still here.

Hi, baby.

Joey and Laura are the ones who got me voted out last night.

So I'm going to start just spilling the beans on everything.

Joey and Laura are pretty much spearheading everything.

Really?

Yeah, and then they keep talking about how they feel a bit more adult

because, you know, they're doing all these things

and they're acting like children.

And George, he's really loyal.

Basically, there's a lot of not... not so niceness over there.

Really?

We're going to have fun when we see him again.

That we've got to discuss, hey?

It's quite clear that Cara's allegiance is to the Brawn tribe.

And she's a little bit on the outer.

Although I'm in the minority with Emmett, Dani and Chelsea

this gives me a lot of confidence.

With Cara joining our tribe it means there's another number

that's up for grabs, which is huge.

So to get her to join our alliance is another vote

that we can use moving forward.

I didn't tell George at all that I was going to use my idol on him.

Oh, OK. So George should have gone. You played your idol for him.

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

We need her because my alliance of four then becomes a majority.

I would have stayed, but I'm about building people up.

I'm certainly not about cutting people down.

Yeah. I've got two idols in my back pocket.

I just need to make sure that I've got Cara.

And then we're sweet.

I think Cara is going to be an easy one to pull across.

One tribe's loss is another one's gain.

And for me, Cara, is a hot commodity and I'm making a beeline for her.

Oh, I don't know.

Simon and I feel like mum and dad

of two different alliances in this tribe

and Cara is an extra vote for whoever

can pocket her in their alliance.

I'm a big player and I want her on my side.

If Simon gets her, then I'm in deep trouble, so I need to make sure

I get there first.

Warm it up, warm it up, warm it up, warm it up, warm it up.

- I! - I!

- I believe! - I believe!

- I believe that we will win! - I believe that we will win!

I believe that we will win!

Come on in, guys.

Brains getting your first look at the new Brawn Tribe.

Cara, joining Brawn after last night's tribal.

Oh, my God, Cara!

Cara, I'm so happy to see you.

I'm sure I'm the only one happy to see you.

We're happy here.

Maybe you actually heard what happens on this tribe.

It sounds horrible.

George, George. Your loss, our gain.

Huge gain for you. You gained a legend.

So, Cara. Have you had time to process what happened last night?
