Survivor

: Merge! Merge! Merge! Merge! Merge! Merge!

Previously onSurvivor...

There it is-- a full-blown idol

that nobody... knows about.

For the plus-one alliance, I pulled in Tiff,

Hunter pulled in Tevin, Tim pulled in Maria.

So the journey six

is what I want to try to make sure is intact.

Right now, as it stands,

there's five on Siga, five on Nami.

But there's three of us right in the middle.

Three of us Yanu.

Soda hates Venus. It's a mess.

Nami has cracks, so it might be wiser

for us to side with Nami

and vote out Mo.

I'm unsure about Mo.

Oh, my God. All I know is that

I'm glad I'm safe tonight because, baby,

it's about to get messy.

First vote: Venus.

Sixth person voted out of Survivor46:

Moriah. That's six. That's enough.

The tribe has spoken.

Congrats on the first Tribal for some of y'all.

-Wasn't that intense? That was... -It was bad.

-That was really intense. Whoa.

That was really, like, bad.

My first Tribal

was mind-blowing.

Seeing my name written down on a piece of parchment

as the very first vote-- it was just terrible.

But the fact that there was jut only one vote with my name

and the rest was straight Mo--

I automatically knew that Soda wrote my name down because

that's the only thing that could possibly make sense.

Oh...

Sure.

Our relationship has been a question mark for a while no.

I really wish I could have worked with her,

but I'm also not stupid.

I know that I'm loyal,

but the way that you were being evasive with your answers...

That's why I... that's why

I came to you the way that I did, because

it's alarming to me that you, like, went straight for me

in the attitude that you did, though.

I'll be straight up with you.

I needed a moment 'cause I know I snapped.

No, that's fine that you needed a moment,

but you did snap at the same time.

Like, it is fine that you needed a moment.

I didn't want to raise my voice.

No, but you still were, like, "You voted for me."

Watching Soda and Venus

is kind of the hottest tea of the night.

I told Soda I don't trust Venu, I don't trust where she stands,

I don't trust her loyalty,

and I think that she'll flip any second that she gets.

Soda hasn't listened to me, and now

they are digging their own graves

and showing the people how toxic

and dangerous they are to the game.

And I hope that they continue to do that because it will

slide them closer to that snuffer and keep me closer

to that million dollars.

Mm-hmm.

Mm-hmm.

If you want to chat one-on-one, or, like, I can explain now.

We can talk in the morning. Okay. Yeah.

Charlie put a vote on Venus anonymously.

So, for Venus to come back and to now think

that Soda wrote her name down

was gonna be the perfect plan.

I need Nami to be in panic mod.

But Charlie lets his emotions get the best of him,

and he confesses

to Venus that he is the one

that wrote her name down.

In this game,

we cannot have that going on.

And I think he needed

to be put in his place.

Yeah. Yeah.

You're right, man. You are right.

I messed up here. I messed up here.

-I'm with you. -You know what I told you?

-Yeah. -Do not let your emotions

-get you in this game. -Yeah.

You don't have to admit ... to nobody.

You're right. You're right.

Q's

real mad at me for telling Venus that I voted for her.

And in this moment, I'm just saying, "I'm sorry,"

and just letting him know that we're solid.

But what I'm thinking is,

Q is running this show,

and no one is allowed to have any other ideas.

"We're doing this, we're locking it down,

"we're getting to the end,

we're doing it Q's way or it's the highway."

So...

I need to get Q out of the game.

-Ben, is that you? -Yeah.

I'm right here. I'm right here.

It's not bad. It's not, like, hurting.

After Tribal, I wake up

from a dream, and

panic mode, like, kicked in.

I have this hysteria for about 50 seconds,

and I have to calm down for a minute.

Yeah.

I understood how nuts it was in the moment,

'cause I've had panic attacks before.

It's, like, something I can't control.

Thank God there were some nice people in the tribe,

and Kenzie was able to just calm me down.

My mom and sister both struggle with anxiety.

They struggle with their mental health.

So, I've been helping people regulate sleep and anxiety

before I even knew what that was, really.

You know, this is a game

where I very easily could have been like, "Good, don't sleep.

I hope you mess up in the challenges."

But that... I couldn't. I couldn't.

Kenzie held my hand, helped me make a fire,

and she made me feel like it wasn't

gonna be some kind of, like, "Yo, Ben's being a freak show,"

back to, like, the sixth grade vibe.

I don't care if it's a game for a million dollars.

Like, at the end of the day, Ben's a person.

Is he my competition? Yes. But he's my friend.

And sometimes you just got to be there for somebody

and just sit with them through it.

Just be with them through the storm, you know?

Sometimes that's all someone needs.

Bring in the boats.

Come on.

-Morning, Jeff. -Good morning.

Boy, it feels good to make the merge.

- -Good morning, Jeff.

Wow.

Come on up.

All right, shall we get to today's immunity challenge?

- -

For today's challenge,

you're gonna balance on a triangular platform

with your feet perched on very narrow footholds.

At regular intervals, you're gonna move higher up

on the platform, making it more difficult.

If at any point you touch the platform,

or fall off of the platform, you're out.

Last person left standing

wins immunity, safe from the vote.

If you are wearing this...

- -Whoa.

I love it.

...it means

you are not going home.

There is a twist

-to today's challenge. -Uh-oh. -Oh, wow.

You're gonna be randomly divided

into two groups of six,

which means two people will have individual immunity

-at tonight's Tribal Council. -

Two people will be safe.

The bad news is both groups

-are going to Tribal Council. Ooh.

So, two people are going home tonight.

-Oh. -Oh. -Oh.

In addition, you're playing for reward.

-Want to know what you're playing for? -

The person who lasts the longest for the entire challenge

earns for their entire group

coffee and tea, hot and cold,

sandwiches-- veggie and tuna,

meat pies, cream cheese Danishes...

-Lord Jesus. -waiting for you back at camp.

In addition, that group will go to Tribal Council second.

And that matters, because

the group that goes first,

the person voted out

will not make the jury.

-Big enough stakes? -Oh, my God.

All right, we're gonna draw for groups.

Yeah.

Ooh. My heart.

All right. Everybody take your first position.

In Purple: Soda, Liz,

Maria, Charlie, Venus and Tevin.

In the other group we have Tiff, Kenzie, Hunter,

Ben, Q and Tim.

You will be competing against each other,

and whoever stays up there

the longest overall earns,

for their group, food.

And you go to Tribal Council second.

Everybody's up?

Everybody's good.

This challenge is on.
