Survivor - Forty-Third Season

We need to talk to Gabler real quick.

So at Tribal Council, it was pretty straightforward.

Everybody wanted to vote out Jeanine

because it was the easy and simple vote.

But this is not what I wanted to do.

I didn't have the numbers to take

somebody else out, but it's, like,

I'm ready to change this game up. I'm ready to shake up

this game at this point, and we got to start picking off

the people that are at the top.

Gabler. Here.

-Come talk with me and Sami real quick. Yeah.

Owen is the only person who was left out of the vote again.

And so, I had to make sure he knows I'm willing

to work with him going forward.

Here's what happened.

I was at the well with Sami and James.

-I said, "If it's Jeanine, just tell me. I'll do it." -Yeah.

They said, "Nope. It's Ryan."

I am kind of pissed with James because he lied to my face

minutes before Tribal, told me to vote for Ryan.

If it's Jeanine, you can tell me, and I won't say a word.

We're voting Ryan, and it is what it is. -Okay. Cool.

I was supposed to go with Owen, but then James...

James insisted on coming. -He insisted on coming.

And then... -Because all day he's been watching me.

He doesn't want me to tell Owen.

He wants to leave Owen out of it.

Jeanine is not

who I wanted to see going home, but I'm very grateful that

Gabler told me at literally the last second

where the votes were going.

He lied to my face.

I'm telling you, bro, James is the only one

that didn't want you to know.

They wanted you to know, but everybody

was too scared to do it because...

Every ... scared of this guy.

Who the ... does he think he is?

Bro, he's so arrogant. Bro...

-He's not the ... Godfather. -They want to get...

James wanted me left out of this vote,

and I'm just freaking sick of it.

Like, you're not the Godfather, dude. Like, it's...

He's driving me insane, and it's time to get him out.

Okay.

Owen's mad at me for being left out of the vote.

When we got back, I'm like, you know,

"What's up, Owen?" He's like, "What?"

And I'm like, "You want to talk?" "No."

Owen is not on my side.

I was like, "Owen." He's like, "What?"

I'm like, "You want to talk?" He's like, "No."

I'm just like...

Owen voted for me before, so I don't trust him.

And at Tribal Council, Jeff was saying,

"What's the social contract?"

The social contract is if you break trust with James,

you go home.

Come on in.

Feast your eyes on what awaits you.

-On day 17 of Survivor 43. -

-Yes. -

All right.

Day 17.

Shall we get into? -Yes, sir.

First things first, Owen, got to take back the necklace.

-I know you don't want me to. -No, I don't.

- Thank you. - Thank you.

Once again, immunity is back up for grabs.

For today's challenge, you're gonna hold onto a handle,

clamping a ball between a set of jaws.

If at any point you lower that handle,

your ball will drop, and you're out.

There is a twist to today's challenge.

Ten players.

We're gonna divide into two teams of five,

which means one person from each team will win immunity.

Oh, damn.

Ooh. -So there are two immunity necklaces.

-Oh, damn. -Ooh-la, baby.

Both groups will go to Tribal Council separately

-and vote somebody out. -Oh, man.

So two winners, two people going home.

In addition, the last person left standing

for the entire challenge earns reward for their team of five.

-Want to know what you're playing for? -Yes, sir.

I think you're gonna like it.

It's a little do-it-yourself PB and J.

- -

Brah.

In addition, you also get the advantage--

the winning five-- of going to Tribal Council last.

So you get to see what happens

at the first Tribal Council.

A lot going on on day 17, Survivor 43.

We'll draw for teams and we'll get started.

Let's do this.

All right, we have our two teams. Let's take a look.

On the red side, we have Cassidy, Jesse,

Gabler, Ryan and Cody.

One of the five of you will win immunity.

On the blue side, we have Owen, Sami,

Noelle, Karla, James.

One of the five of you will win immunity.

And one person's going to earn reward in the form of PB and J

and going to Tribal Council last.

All right, everybody put your palms under your handle.

I'm gonna count you in to lift up.

When you lift up, you'll release the ball.

Here we go.

Three, two, one.

Everybody lift up.

This challenge is on.

It doesn't look like much

until you're the one holding the handle.

You have to keep pressure on your handle

because that's what's keeping the ball trapped.

Your hands cannot come off of the bar.

Karla working with one bad hand,

trying to keep it together.

Little tiny injuries can really impact a challenge.

Jesse can't recover. Jesse's out.

No shot at immunity.

Jesse on the bench. We're down to four for Red.

Everybody from Blue still alive.

Noelle, her ball moves a little. That's how fast it happens.

Cassidy.

Ball drops a little, but she saves it.

Cassidy drops. She's out.

Red is down to three-- Gabler, Ryan and Cody.

Everybody from Blue is still in it.

Noelle can't hang.

She's out. Our first casualty from Blue.

Blue is now down to four--

Owen, Sami, Karla and James.

James, out of nowhere. That's how it goes, James.

James frustrated.

You can't imagine it could be this difficult.

One moment of letting off tension on that handle.

That ball's ready to drop.

Gabler drops.

He's out. We're down to two for Red.

Let's go. It is Ryan and Cody with immunity on the line.

I'll keep you guys updated.

It is Owen, Sami and Karla for Blue.

Got to give Karla credit knowing the pain that hand is in.

Karla, you're inspiring me right now, broke finger and all, yo.

Owen, one little slip.

-And there it is. Owen's out. Ryan, stay focused. Stay focused, buddy...

We're down to two showdowns.

In Red, the showdown is Ryan versus Cody.

In Blue, it is Sami versus Karla.

Stay focused. Stay focused.

Sami, Karla, get us some PB and J.

Battle time. Here you go.

Day 17, Survivor 43, this is what it's about.

Way to go, big boys. Stay in there. Focus.

What about the big girls, huh?

You, too. Yeah, Karla.

You got it, Karla.

Show 'em how it's done, Karla.

Been up there ten minutes.

Push through, Karla.

I know it feels like ten hours.

All you have to do is outlast the other person.

Sami doesn't even see it happening. -Good job!

- -Karla wins! Stay alive, Karla!

-Stay in it! Hang in there, Karla!

Sami dropped and had no knowledge -Wow.

the ball was even moving.

Karla has won immunity.

She's now fighting for a reward as well,

between Ryan and Cody.

Hold still, guys. It's a reminder,

on any given day, anything can happen.

Ryan with a little bit of a slip.

Karla hunched over.

Karla, you're out.

-Great effort by Karla. -Yes. -Peanut butter.

Hey, great work, Karla. Hung in there for a long time.

Immunity is yours.

This means that the reward will be going to Red.

-Proud of you, boys. Now it's just a question

of who will have immunity

while they're eating their PB and J.

-Rockin' Ryan and Cowboy Cody. -

Another battle.

Stay on fire, brah.

It is Ryan and Cody, side by side.

Huge immunity on the line.

Dig deep, boys.

Amazing, gentlemen.

Ryan with another little bit of movement.

Both digging, you can see it.

You can see the body.

You can see the intensity.

Ryan's ball moves a little more.

Cody is right where he started.

He has not had any slips.
