Australian Survivor - Eighth Season

Previously on Australian Survivor...

We are merging!

..it was the moment they'd all been waiting for.

And at the immunity challenge...

..Emmett was first to win individual immunity.

Laura, tonight she's going home.

At the new Fire tribe, the six old Brawns were back together.

I am giving my trust and loyalty to all of you.

And with George and Cara on board, they had a majority.

But George was playing both sides.

I'm willing to tell Hayley when and how to play her idol

to get rid of some of the Brawn on this tribe.

And when Kez found an idol...

You dirty dog! Yeah!

..she was the Brawn he wanted gone first.

- Only pitch Dani, vote for Kez. - Yeah.

Play the idol to Laura, that's all I'll say.

OK.

These Brawn idiots aren't gonna suspect a thing!

At tribal council...

It's time to put this idol to use.

..George's plan worked perfectly...

For Laura.

..flushing Hayley's idol and...

Kez.

..sending Kez home with hers.

Until she secretly passed it to Flick.

The tribe has spoken.

12 are left, who will be going home tonight?

- Day 28, guys. - 28.

- Day 28. - 20 days to go.

After last night's tribal council, one thing's very clear -

King George of the Fire tribe has arrived.

That was my coronation moment.

I'm here now and I'm in complete control.

The best possible scenario was for Kez to go home with an idol,

Hayley to use her idol on Laura, two idols out.

Hayley gets credited for the operation and my cover isn't blown.

It went off perfectly.

I always thought I'd be a good politician,

but after last night's covert operation,

I might need a career change,

I'm a good spy.

Nobody from the old Brawn tribe knows my role in this operation,

except Cara.

And Cara's my number two.

Cara's my confidant.

Yeah.

I know who I can really trust to execute a covert operation

here on the Fire tribe.

Cara, who's my key adviser, and Baden, who's backed me in previously

and can keep his mouth shut.

I'm in control now.

Both alliances are realistic options for me and I just have to

play my cards correctly and I'll get to the end of this game.

OK. Done.

I think I'm in a very good position right now.

I'm close with George and Cara, and George, he's got my back.

George is playing both sides.

At the moment, it's like he's the puppet master.

I give him credit, he's a mastermind at this game.

You know, he's a big player, so at the moment I trust him

and I'm happy to play along beside him.

I know that the Brawn alliance wanna vote me or Hayley.

Cara and George and I agree that the three of us

are gonna stay strong and move forward together

and we're gonna try and go to the end.

So I have to keep convincing Hayley and Andrew

and the others that we can trust them.

Yeah.

But George is very unpredictable and he's thinking strategy 24/7.

And he is definitely a dangerous player.

I just wonder how much deeper his plans go

and what other stuff he's got cooking underneath.

I'm all over him and I'm keeping a close eye on him.

Yes.

Last night's tribal council didn't go to plan at all.

Eight votes went down the drain when Hayley played an idol for Laura

and Kez went home.

I would like to believe it's a pure fluke from Hayley, but I don't really

believe in coincidences, so I think we have a snitch.

In the game of Survivor,

how lucky do you have to be to pull something like that?

Deep down I just don't believe it.

As a correctional officer, snitches get stitches in my world.

But, hey, in the game of Survivor, you just put a target on your back.

If there's a snitch in the majority seven, I'll be coming after them.

And Hayley's also at the top of my list.

Yeah.

It is warming up.

We can't give the Brains an inch.

So next tribal council, we can't afford to mess things up

because in this game, if you can see out the windscreen,

you're either driving the bus or you're about to get hit by it.

Come on in, guys.

So, George,

after last tribal council, what was the vibe like back in camp?

It was acknowledged and it was processed

and we got on with our tribe life.

So, Baden, after that move at tribal,

have the original Brains had a chance to shake things up?

Ah, it's a little bit of a shake-up.

It was very satisfying for a plan to come off so well.

Very well executed and a bit of luck involved.

We're still a minority, but a little bit less of a minority.

But hopefully if we keep, you know, playing smart and playing hard,

we can even up the numbers and take control.

OK, well, let's get to it. Emmett.

Getting spicy.

Once again, immunity is back up for grabs.

But...

Ha-ha...

...today, there is not just one necklace up for grabs...

..there are three.

Wow.

Which means that three people will walk out of here with immunity.

Three people will be safe at tonight's tribal council.

- Wow. - There you go.

Three people will be the only ones

with the opportunity to cast a vote tonight.

Oh!

Wow.

Oh, my God. That's...

Wow.

Today's challenge is going to take place over three stages.

Stage one, you're going to barrel walk across a field.

The first eight to make it across will move on to stage two,

where you'll traverse a beam

while untangling a rope attached to a monkey fist

that you'll attempt to land on a hitch and use to climb over a wall.

First five to make it over the wall will move on to the final stage,

where you'll race to manoeuvre balls through a table maze.

First three people to land all three balls...

..win immunity, safe from the vote.

Losers, tribal council,

where somebody is going to become the 13th person voted out.

Alright, let's draw for spots. Let's get to it.

Alright, here we go.

For immunity.

Survivors, ready...

Go!

Need to walk your barrel all the way across the field

without falling off.

Hayley has a nice lead. She's figured it out.

Powering across.

Emmett on her tail, Andrew right there.

Whoa! Huge fall from Dani.

Baden is doing well.

Only the first eight will move on to the next stage.

Hayley gets across.

She's moving on to the beam.

Emmett's good.

Baden's there.

Chelsea's there.

Andrew's there.

Looking for three more spots on the beam.

Need to get across the beam

while unwinding that rope without falling off.

If you fall off, you gotta go back to the start.

Whoo!

Three more to go.

Laura's across.

Dani's across.

Cara is across.

Alright, we have eight. That's it. No more spots on the beam.

Gerald, Wai, George, Flick, out of the challenge.

How do I get down?

Hayley has her monkey fist. She moves on.

Emmett has it now.

Only the first five to get over that wall will move on.

Chelsea has her rope now.

Andrew has his monkey fist.

Baden has his rope.

Ah!

Dani has her monkey fist. She moves on.

Andrew getting close.

Laura's in on it now.

Come on, guys!

And Emmett, first one to hook the monkey fist.

Go, Emmett!

Emmett goes over. He's moving on to the table maze.

Emmett has a big head start on that table maze.

Everyone else feeling the pressure, trying to pick up the pace.

Emmett working his way around the most difficult part,

getting close to dropping his first ball.

Emmett has the first ball on the table.

Laura's got it!

Laura lands her first. She's making her way up and over the wall.

Well done, Laura. Look at that.

- Yes! - Andrew gets his.

Dani gets hers.

Looking for one more spot.

One more table is open.

Chelsea, Baden, Cara and Hayley fighting it out for that final table.

Emmett getting close with his second ball.

In the hole, Emmett.

And he lands it. Emmett has two balls now.

Laura struggling to get around that final obstacle on the board.

Oh! You're kidding!

Goddamn it!
