Australian Survivor - Eighth Season

Previously on Australian Survivor...

..another reward challenge brought yet another win for Brawn.

Come on!

And back at camp...

..Simon got the best reward of all

when he found not one but two hidden immunity idols.

I am unstoppable.

At the immunity challenge...

Go, go, go!

..Brawn's luck continued...

Simon goes for the win!

Finally! Brawn wins immunity!

..and it was Brains' turn to go to tribal.

George's plan - get rid of Laura to bring down Joey.

Sounds like a good plan.

Meanwhile...

..Joey had his own target.

Georgie is going home.

But when George came out strutting his idol...

Nice little find, isn't it?

..Joey came up with a new plan -

to flush the idol

and blindside Mitch.

Um, yeah, I'm definitely down for voting Mitch.

Nobody will see it coming.

At tribal council...

George can't see beyond his own ego.

Let the blood flow.

..Joey's plan...

Mitch.

..works like a charm.

The tribe has spoken.

19 are left.

Who will be going home tonight?

Oh, my God! I almost put them on!

That's a huntsman. That would have hurt.

We are living in the elements here, guys.

It's day 13 out here and the Brawn tribe is thriving.

We didn't go to tribal council last night,

and as long as we stay far away from tribal council,

you know, we're doing pretty well.

Brawn are super determined to keep up that winning streak.

- Twist that. - Twist into it?

Yeah, and just try the left-hand hook.

Nice. Go again.

Twist that front foot.

Bring that elbow up in line.

Yeah, that's the angle you want to make, yeah. Yeah, that's it.

Day 13 and I'm feeling fantastic.

I'm sitting in a really good spot.

I've got two idols in my back pocket.

No-one knows about this. This is huge.

This is my ticket through to the end game.

Yesterday, just happened to be looking out

at the exact moment when Simon came back with an immunity idol

and put it in his bag.

And having a little celebration out the back.

Look, on my side at the moment,

I've got myself, Kez, Flick and Shannon.

Hopefully, by telling everyone Simon has a hidden idol,

we can get everyone on board and try and blindside him.

Simon?

Oh, my God.

The idol is the power in the game.

It holds so much power, and in the wrong hands, it's dangerous.

Especially if it's someone who's an alpha player.

- Yeah. - You're certain?

Oh, Lord.

You're kidding.

The only good information about this

is that Simon doesn't know that we know.

We'll have to make him get rid of it.

Arggh!

Knowing that he has an idol,

we have to try to flush it somehow to get it out

so we can get Simon out at some point.

He needs to feel confident and strong thinking he is the top dog.

But really, we're the top dogs.

13 days.

- So many seeds. Yum. - Mmm.

I would definitely put seeds on that. Thank you.

Yeah. It's like risotto.

Yum. Thanks, guys.

Last night, I didn't vote with George.

A line was drawn in the bulldust.

Me voting with Joey

has cemented my place in the alliance of six,

and the other four leftover people - Wai, Baden, Cara and George -

are really quite scrambling for what's gonna happen next.

Last night's tribal council, I played my idol,

and I didn't need to do that.

What a stupid move to get rid of Mitch!

He was our strongest physical asset.

Mitch got played by a backroom dirty deal

orchestrated by Rachel and Joey.

Rachel made promises to people and she's broken them.

The deal was quite simple -

Rachel, me, Wai, Baden, Cara

plus Hayley and Mitch

were going to vote for Laura.

I don't like it when people play the player and not the ball.

I definitely don't trust Rachel after last night.

Rachel, last night was playing in the gutter.

- Well, yeah, in my opinion. - Yep.

Yes. Extreme lying involved.

No, it's not.

Dunno.

I made a deal, and I stick to my promises.

You can wash your hands of Mitch's blood in any way you want.

I don't intend to, because I don't feel like I have to.

Well, then, own it.

Hurricane George has just...

He's like an eddy. He should be called Eddie, not George.

'Cause eddies are like...

You know what an eddy is?

An eddy's like a circular wind.

An eddy.

Oh, right. That's... that's right.

Like...

..gust. Circular wind gust.

It's a crossword... question.

I actually thought I was gonna be voted off.

- Really? - Mmm. 100%.

I even took my chopsticks with me.

George and I have a unique bond.

We just kind of get each other

and I'm kind of... probably the cool water to his fire.

His brain never stops.

No, no, no. I agree with that.

George being the brawler from Bankstown that he is,

he's definitely positioned himself in the firing line.

So it's now or never to start making the moves.

We've got to start hustling.

Wow. Do you guys need a hand? Joey?

What about those big Bondi muscles?

I got this, man!

Oh, what a tribal last night!

It went to plan perfectly.

We took out Mitch. Georgie flushed that idol.

It was a masterful performance by Joey and his alliance.

- Oh! It's all fun and games. - Mmm.

I've got five people on board.

I got 'em in my pocket, man.

We're ready to march forward and take some more scalps.

- It's a 6-4 equation... - Mm-hm.

..but if we play six on one and they play an idol on the off-chance...

- Or some advantage. - ..then one of us is out.

We need to make sure they don't get an idol.

Yeah.

I just don't think he's as smart as he says he is.

- No, no, he's not. - He's not.

- Yeah, all fluff, mate. - Yeah.

In the outside world, would George get my vote as a politician?

Hell, no. Will he get my vote in here?

Hell, yes!

George is going home at the next tribal!

Come on in, guys.

Brawn getting your first look at the new Brains tribe.

Mitch voted out last night in tribal council.

That's fun.

No more Dr Mitch.

Simon, I'm sure you spent your night off

guessing who was going to go home over at Brains.

Are you surprised?

Look, if that was me, I'd be trying to keep the tribe strong.

So, interesting decision.

George, how you feeling about last night?

Well, after last night, I slept with a clean conscience.

I don't have blood on my hands

and at least I know who the heroes, the villains

and the wolves in sheep's clothing are on this tribe.

- Ooh! - Sounds like trouble in paradise.

Sounds like it.

Guess we're going to find out.

You guys ready for today's reward challenge?

- Yeah. - Alright.

For today's challenge...

..tethered to a rope, you're going to dig under a log

and then weave your way through a series of obstacles.

Last person through

will have a key that unlocks a box of sandbags.

Two of you will use those sandbags to smash a series of targets.

First tribe to smash all six targets wins reward.

Want to know what you're playing for?

Yes.

Something to satisfy...

..your sweet tooth.

Lamingtons and chocolate milk.

Ohhhh!

Gerald, worth playing for?

100%, mate. That's what we're here for.

Animal products. Couldn't ask for more.

We heard your call, and we answered.

Yes. Thank you.

Alright, Brains, you have an extra player. You need to sit someone out.

Cannot be the same person in back-to-back challenges.

Who's it going to be?

Alright, Brains. What's the decision?

OK, Rachel, you're on the bench.

Everyone else, I'll give you a minute to strategise.
