Survivor (2000) s01e07 Episode Script
The Merger
JEFF PROBST: 16 Americans forced to abandon ship in the middle of the South China Sea.
Marooned for 39 days, they must work together to build shelter, find food and survive the island, but ultimately, it is everyone for themselves.
Every third night they will hike deep into the jungle to take part in the Tribal Council where they must vote one of their own off the island.
In the end, only one will remain and will leave the island with $1 million in cash.
Last week on Survivor: The merge was on everyone's mind as the two tribes prepared to become one.
We do got the merge coming.
( growling ) JEFF: At Tagi, Rich was flexing his voting alliance muscles.
RICHARD: I am in control of who's being voted off and I think that's all that matters to me.
JEFF: And Sue was deciding who on Pagong should be voted off after the merge.
Greg, definitely-- he's just way too psychotic.
JEFF: At Pagong, Gervase made a comment that upset his female tribe mates.
Girls are the stupidest things on the planet next to cows.
Oh! He called us "stupid.
" Go! JEFF: The immunity challenge became more competitive than ever because if Pagong won, they would enter the merge with six members to Tagi's four, giving them a voting advantage.
Yeah, you guys! JEFF: But Tagi won, insuring them that the tribes would merge at five members each.
The loss sent Pagong back to Tribal Council where Greg joined the women in voting Joel off the island.
On the eve of the merge, ten are left.
Who will be the first voted out of the newly formed tribe? ( chanting ) JEFF: Day 19.
Survivor has reached a turning point.
Very soon, the ten remaining members of Tagi and Pagong will form one new tribe.
They will live together but they will now compete against each other individually.
There are many questions to be answered: Where will they live? What will this new tribe call themselves? What kind of world will they now create? To begin the process, an ambassador from each tribe-- Jenna from Pagong and Sean from Tagi-- will assess the livability of each other's camp.
They will then paddle out to the sand spit for a summit where they will negotiate and decide on which of the two beaches this new tribe of ten will live.
Their decision will be final.
Sean is being guided to Pagong Beach by Greg, and Jenna is being guided to Tagi by Kelly.
This is the first time either ambassador has seen the opposing tribe's camp.
Our camp's way better than theirs just from talking to them.
They don't have a living room with benches, never mind a decent kitchen.
I think our house is better from what they've described.
We have fish.
Gretchen and I both fished for an hour.
Really? Nothing.
Not even a bite.
When do you guys fish? Early morning, late evening.
Yeah, that's when we fish.
But, you know, we got the gay guy gay compassionate guy.
He's, like, middle-of-the-road.
And you got Sue who says whatever the hell's on her mind.
SUSAN: As far as somebody coming here from Pagong today, it's going to be fun.
We like having company over at camp, even though we don't have a whole lot to offer for lunch.
I'm hoping I think the kicker of it all will be if Rich gets fish and we have fish for lunch.
I think they'll be here.
And Rich Rich is a sweetheart.
So easygoing.
He's naked a lot.
Um okay.
I'm excited about it being a big group, because right now there's not a lot of personalities going on and it's quiet and we've seen every inch of this little place here, and I'm excited to meet new people, and even if it's some good, some bad, or whatever, at least, it's something.
It's a mix and so it'll be more interesting than it is right now.
Oh, good, they sent the doctor.
Hi.
How are you? I'm fine.
Nice to see you.
Nice to see you.
What's going on, man? How do you feel? Good.
How about you? Nice to see you, man.
You want a tour? Yeah, let me have a tour.
Take me around.
Hi, Sue.
How are you? Good.
Beautiful The sun's out.
Stingray, cuttlefish and lobster for lunch.
( squeals ) We're having rock lobster for lunch.
Oh, my God.
Hey, Kel, check out the cuttlefish.
Deluxe.
Nice, nice.
Oh, yeah.
With a working lid and everything.
Wi-with lid.
Uh-huh.
How often do you guys move that? Never? Never.
This is, uh, chef Rudy.
Check out the kitchen.
Chef Rudy, um, can I go in your kitchen? Okay.
Oh, yeah.
Wipe your feet.
"Rowdy Rudy's Diner" This is where we keep spices, toilet paper, candles fruit peels go in there.
Nice.
But, uh This is so nice.
RICHARD: Isn't that a cool kitchen? So, see, now, these are our kitchen hammocks.
Damn! Oh, yeah, sleep five really comfortable.
Ours is about the same size, but it's lifted a little higher in the back.
And, uh, right now, we've just we got two mosquito nets.
The guys go on the left and me and Sue and Rich, the girls, go on the right.
Go ahead and pull out Yeah, we have this thing If you want, I'll diagram what we got.
Nice.
Super bench, living room area.
Oh, my God, you guys are very, very well-organized.
( laughing ) So much more than ours.
Have a seat.
Hey, not too bad.
We got plenty of this, too.
We don't eat that much of it.
No? No.
We have it.
We don't eat it.
GERVASE: We live off this stuff.
It's a lot of work for a little bit of sugar it seems to me, you know? You guys are amazing.
Like a well- oiled machine.
The stingray looks wonderful.
KELLY: Stingray is so good.
Stingray is incredible.
Does it grab you? Whoa.
Is it funkified already? Fermented? That's not good.
Next.
Number two.
SUSAN: You know, you kind of get Ah, there's a lot of meat on that bad boy.
Yeah, just try that.
SUSAN: Yeah.
Oh, my God.
SUSAN: Isn't it good? It's delicious.
I don't need anymore, you know.
You know I mean, uh Right off, just chew on the cuttlebone.
Hey, you know RICHARD: It's calamari.
It's going to be just like squid.
It's the exact same thing.
If you've had fried calamari, That's awesome.
well, we're having roasted.
Here.
RICHARD: That lobster, it's so sweet.
This is delicious.
( laughing ) That's what we want you to say when you get home.
Just tell them how good everything is.
Food, golden.
Yeah, when we merge tonight, I think it'll be interesting.
I think, uh, it'll set up a whole nother set of interpersonal dynamics that'll be fun for me to watch.
Tell us more, uh, like, rumors you've heard about us, or things you think you know about us Okay.
or what do you want to know about us? All right, um, let's see-- "rumors that I've heard"-- that you guys are plotting an alliance against us divide and conquer sort of thing.
Really? That's the big one.
The alliance that we have going on is Rich, Rudy, Kelly and me.
We'll vote four people strong, and if we can make it through the first two votes, getting somebody off of their team off ( chuckles ) we should be able to slide into home plate.
That's what we said.
Yeah, you only get We don't know any of you; you don't know any of us.
Exactly, and I'm so excited to get to know five new people.
( laughing ): So are we.
Cool.
Jenna's sincere.
She is sincere.
I believe Jenna's sincere, and I think Gretchen's sincere, but Gren Jenna is young, and not a mature young like you.
She's young.
Just babbling.
She's young flaky.
JENNA: I wanted to come across as a strong young mom 'cause I think they're often portrayed as victims of circumstance, and, uh wanted to be a good role model for my girls when they see it when they get older.
She wants to be proud for her children.
Proud for your children-- win.
She's just really happy to be here.
Show your girls what it's about and how to win.
Six days ago, I was 180 out, but, uh, I seen the light.
It's ( chuckles ) If you want to win this money, you got to get a little dirty.
You know, who's next, don't you? I don't need to deal with that.
Who, after Greg? Jenna.
Jenna.
I was thinking Sean.
Oh, yeah.
He's too much competition and he will not participate.
The reason Sean's not in the alliance because Sean is dumb.
So, Sean, are they, uh, planning on banding together and picking us off one by one? SEAN: I think they've changed their minds, you know, because I think they have very nice, warm touchy feelings towards you guys.
Sean's ethically against any kind of alliance and I hear Gretchen is similar on the other side and, um I don't get it.
You know, I-I consider myself extraordinarily ethical and moral and, uh, this has absolutely nothing to do with this.
Uh, it sounds like sheer stupidity to me when somebody says "Oh, no, I'm not going to build an alliance, and I hope they wouldn't do that either.
" Uh, you know, I giggle and think, "okay.
" ( laughing ) God, I'm glad I'm on your team.
Yeah, baby.
Didn't come here to make friends.
I got to lug one of you guys? GERVASE: Sean's cool.
Sean's a nice guy.
He had a lot of stories to tell, and I mean, he he was just, like, a genuine, honest guy-- you know, what he said, you just believed what he said.
You can just tell he wants to have some fun.
He hasn't had fun yet, so, uh we'll bring lots of fun his way.
We'll keep him entertained.
( both talking at once ) I will.
Bye, Rich.
Bye, Rudy.
RUDY: Jenna and Sean are going to have a good time talking.
I don't know which one talks the most.
She ain't shut up since she's been here.
Bye, guys.
Bye, girl.
Bye, Sean! JEFF: Welcome, Jenna.
A chair just for you.
Welcome.
And look at me-- I didn't dress for dinner.
How you doing? Nice to see you.
Nice to see you.
One chair for you.
Hello.
How are you? Wow, we're off to a good start.
A little kiss-- I like that.
Pretty cool.
Well, here's the deal: You guys are ambassadors for your tribes.
You have a very important task tonight.
We wanted you to feel like ambassadors, so we've prepared some lobster, you have some bread, baked potatoes, butter for the lobster, uh, lemon-- I don't think we missed anything except for the wine which is being chilled right now.
What I need in the morning is on this parchment, with a couple of pens in here, to have the new name of the tribe which camp you're going to be at, and the three items you're taking.
You'll be given one new color for this new tribe-- green-- yellow and orange no longer used to represent opposing tribes.
You are now one.
There's also stuff to make two new flags for camp.
There are paintbrushes, paints, so once you decide on the name, you can go to town on that.
Can we eat first? You can do you have all night.
As you can see right here, we have two beds.
( laughing ) Oh, my God.
So we are definitely staying here tonight? You are here all night.
Jenna, how stylin' are we! I immediately saw the table set up with it was like a romantic dinner.
It was like this table all set up with everything, two beds off to the right single, like, really nice sheets and pillows and blankets, and, uh like, a stump, we had a bedside table, we had lanterns everywhere, tiki torches, and the first thing I thought was "Oh, man, they're so setting this up for it to be romantic with Sean" and there's just there's not a spark there.
Making out's, I think, first base; second base, up the shirt; third base Okay, okay.
But I often give a bad first impression sometimes.
You never heard of bases like that? I always just knew what the home run was.
I'm all about the goal.
I'm goal-oriented.
Sliding into home plate here's Jenna.
Okay.
They wanted it to be more romantic than it was ever going to be, but, uh from either end of us, but we really had an exceptional time, and we tied one on, you know, uh, finished the bottles of wine, and we ate like kings and queens, and, uh, it was fantastic.
Uh, we saw Pagong's fire was still lit so I was like, "Oh, I want to call home.
They're probably worried.
" And, uh, so we threw a bunch of kerosene on our fire to make it whoosh, and they said they saw that, so I hoped that they would figure that I was still there, that I was okay.
Whoa.
Fire on the spit.
It seems so far away from the island.
GREG: They had to have fed Jenna.
I mean, the summit going from 4:00 in the afternoon until well after dark Yeah.
They're not going to let her starve.
With one lunch.
Well, Gervase can save hers in case his in case she wants to see what it would have been like.
JENNA: We talked all night.
It helped that they had four bottles of wine there.
So we drank them all and, uh, we were both pretty drunk.
And it's raining, and we're inside now.
We just made it.
We're completely covered.
We had a great meal.
Me, I'm exhausted from all this wine.
Do you want to go to bed? GRETCHEN: We're just waiting 'cause no one's given us any information.
So, I mean, last night we were wondering where she was.
And then somebody said "Well, she can't come back until the negotiations are over.
" But there's really nothing to negotiate.
We could have made a shelter in that time.
We could have made-- whatever they're negotiating for, we could have moved our whole camp-- been done in that time.
So I don't, I don't know what the whole process is about.
We miss Jenna.
We haven't seen Jenna at all since she's left, and we were kind of worried about her last night when it got dark and she wasn't here.
GREG: I'd be wasting my time and energy to, uh, guess what's happening.
So I don't even bother.
What's going on? It's a beautiful day.
The sun's nice.
You can see Mount Kinabalu and, uh, we're going to go fishing.
RUDY: That's a big one.
RICHARD: Yeah, he's a good fatty.
That's a lot of meat.
They talked about some kind of a negotiation, and I would imagine if the two parties had opposing views as to what camp they should move to that the negotiation might go on-- or might be interesting.
But since both parties, as far as we know, want to move to this camp, I can't imagine what's going on on the sand spit.
SUSAN: We're not sure yet, because Sean has been gone almost 24 hours now since we sent him off on the messenger thing.
So the anticipation of waiting for Sean is just actually starting to drive us wild.
Oh, my God! I have so much to tell you guys.
First things first-- we are moving.
We have five minutes from when we banked to get everything in your backpacks-- to get your luxury item.
Only what you brought in your backpacks and luxury item-- and three objects, which we chose, and we're out of here.
And we told Pagong the unfortunate news that they had five minutes to pack their things-- get their luxury item and choose three items.
Which we decided were the wool blanket that they have, the mosquito netting, so we could sleep under the mosquito netting, and the, um, cooking pot.
We were given a luxury dinner, but we had to decide a new name and we had to paint the new flag, and we had to pick a location-- she liked our camp a lot.
You guys will love it.
Actually, Sean let me do almost all of the deciding.
I came up with the name, he added an "a" on the end.
Jenna came up with the name.
It had to be something that was indigenous to the island and, you know, we have a lot of rattan wood here.
And we just added an "a" to make it sound more exotic.
That was my idea.
You know, give it a little flair, a little pizzazz.
JENNA: As we were dining on lobster and, um baked potatoes.
SEAN: Dessert.
JENNA: Four bottles of wine.
SEAN: Four bottles of wine.
Four bottles of wine.
A hangover in the morning.
A hangover, a bed Beds, a tent.
GREG: You know, they come back having had a great night and "oh, my God, I can't wait to tell you guys how much we've eaten.
" And that's wonderful.
That's how ambassadors should be treated.
But, you know, of course, when you're on an island surviving on white rice and the occasional fish SEAN: Four croissants with orange marmalade and strawberry jam.
Coffee four bottles.
Hey, tell me a little bit more about it.
I'd love to hear about butter sauce.
Like thanks.
GERVASE: I mean, it just makes more sense to go to their side.
I mean, I think that's what everybody wanted to do anyway.
Everybody wanted to get out of this section just for a new change of scenery.
We've been here for 20 days.
We've seen it.
We know it.
So it was just like, you know, let's try something new.
COLLEEN: Sean was even saying there's enough room for us in the hutch because enough people sleep outside, so It's going to go quick.
God, I hope it goes quick from here on out, you know.
Really.
When I first got here, I you know, I think maybe I would have been more comfortable on the other team, because I, you know, from what I understand, they pulled their camp together, they got their stuff hanging up, which is, like, something that's been bothering me since the day we got here, and but I think it was good for me to be with this tribe because, um, you don't have to work all the time and you don't have to be busting butt.
It's nice you know, we're healthy and we're happy and we spend a lot of time having fun.
So I think it taught me something, too.
You can be very comfortable and I don't feel like I need to bust butt all the time, and I've had a good time while I'm here.
So I'll be glad to go with the other tribe and I was glad to be with this tribe.
GREG: It's like starting over.
We've left behind a lot of things-- a lot of material possessions.
Metaphysically, we've also left behind a lot of emotional issues.
Um there was a lot of baggage that we left on that on that Pagong Beach.
But, uh we're moving on to bigger and better things.
I'm excited.
I did feel sadness when we left Pagong.
Looking back, that was where we rode to the first day when we were shipwrecked.
It was where I'd formed a bond with eight seven other people, so it was sad.
But it was a new beginning for me-- a whole nother tribe.
Are we close to Tagi? I don't think that's what it's called anymore.
It's Rattana.
( laughing and talking ) Come on, left side.
Come on, left side.
God, it's beautiful.
Yeah, it really is.
COLLEEN: So Rich came out, it was like "Hey, how are you?" You know, he swam out, which was really nice.
They welcomed us with open arms.
We got along really well.
Welcome.
Ooh! So, what they were really doing was coming to the beach and, uh, were moving in with what things they could have gotten together in the five minutes that they had to get together, I guess.
I was glad to see that.
Hi.
Nice to see you again.
Can I get a hug, all right? You, too, handsome.
Were you guys worried about me? Oh, yeah, yeah.
Clothesline.
House.
Living room.
Kitchen.
Bathroom.
Oh, my.
The house ain't done yet.
We can't tour the house yet, no.
GREG: A boy named Sue.
Strong, loud, with an accent that'll drive you up the wall! Was he talking about me? Yeah.
Oh, yeah.
Oh, come on! I'm up.
Remind me to do it.
Yeah, you had a good one.
This thing's about 300 years old.
I think Rudy's very set in his ways, so having, you know, five new people move in, it scared him a lot, so he was just sitting back and he was assessing the situation, I think.
All of a sudden, we doubled our population.
Uh, the house got smaller, the pots got smaller, and, uh personally, it's a pain in the ass.
New people, new scene new things to talk about, you know.
( general conversation ) KELLY: It's almost too good.
Like, everybody's too "Oh, you go first.
" "No, you go first," oh, you know, everybody's being real, real super polite, you know, which is cool.
COLLEEN: Sean is very intelligent.
Sometimes he says interesting things.
Sometimes you tune out for a while, and then he hits on something so you tune back in, you know.
I mean, he's always going.
SEAN: Girls always rank "sense of humor" then, like, "ambition" and then all this other stuff and then rank "looks," like, number five or six.
But meanwhile, I know so many unambitious, good-looking guys, who have absolutely no personality, that still get a lot of girls.
I'm really going to get skinny.
I got to go back in the water.
Bye.
GREG: Rich is clever and, uh I mean we'll start being honest now.
I think Rich thinks he's very clever.
He is, uh, relatively sharp, and, uh he has a lot of things going on in his mind that he, uh selectively decides, uh, what he will share and with whom.
Rich is playing a big game, which is very fun, so he's awfully entertaining.
KELLY: That it was suggested that we should, you know, "beef up" the supports and everything.
Okay, which, you know, I don't know I don't know anything about shingles and roofing, and I just know how to tie knots, that's pretty much all I know how to do.
Okay.
It ain't going nowhere.
You might want to tie this.
Ow! Up and down.
( loud crashing ) That doesn't sound good.
Oh, yeah.
( hearty laughter ) I didn't touch it.
Oh, my God! That did not just happen.
Oh, my God.
And, bam, shingles break, the whole roof comes crashing down.
Felt like such an idiot.
It figures that the day that everyone shows up the whole roof caves in while they're repairing it.
Yeah, it's the same as it is back home, ladies, here in the jungle.
The women are doing all the work and the guys are just hanging out and b.
s.
'ing, yeah.
It's my turn.
I pick up from here.
It's a hit.
I can hit you this card; you can't drop.
Every time you get hit you have to stay around one more round.
( gasping ) Very good, Rich.
( chuckles ) The guys are kind of bumming around, but I think that's good 'cause I think all the guys got to get to know each other.
RICHARD: Isn't that beautiful? Don't lie.
It looks like mucus, doesn't it? SUSAN: Oh, yeah.
Jammin'.
You see it, Sue? You see anything? ( laughing ) It's how men and women relate, you know.
The women-- we work together and we it's a little women are always a little bit competitive in everything we do, you know, so it's like when you're working together you're seeing what the other person can do, and you're proving each other at the same time.
Men can sit down and talk for hours and walk away friends.
You got the hang of it now.
( hearty chuckle ) Gervase was great.
I beat the hell out of him in a number of games that I've never played before, and he's, uh, he's good at cards.
I think he could have been letting me win.
Uh, who knows? He could be playing the odds, too.
It's natural to me.
What I do, I don't think I'm doing anything special.
I'm just being myself.
But other people always say, like, "You're a charmer.
" "You're a smooth talker.
" Looking real good there, Rich.
Thanks.
Real good there.
Can you tell I'm losing? Yeah.
That makes me happy, 'cause I can't tell.
They don't they don't cook out enough.
They're they're great for bait but their insides is just nothing but guts.
Greg's an interesting character.
He's young, too.
He's 24, and he was pretty cocky.
He was thinking he could go out and get something, came back in with a sea urchin.
( derisive chuckling ) But that was good, that shows people that he who thought he was a spear-fishing person could go out there, no problem, comes from the other tribe and came back in, telling everybody just how difficult it is-- that ups my value even more.
JENNA: Free in sight, less than 100 feet away and we have, like I've got this girl laid out in, like, across the back seat of, like, a Suzuki Sidekick and it was, like, incredible.
Come on.
Who can follow that? Not I.
Rich.
Rich can.
Rich, yay.
First night as one tribe we sat around the campfire, told stories-- very, very, very revealing stories.
KELLY: Gretchen said she drank a fifth of whiskey in two minutes when she was 14 and I would have never guessed that about her, you know? Sounds like we kind of have a similar past.
This new group is, like, it's like a banquet.
It's like a banquet of stories and excitement.
Sean left an orgy opportunity.
No, I left a two-on-one opportunity.
Two girls.
How come you left it? I was scared out of my mind.
RUDY: Some of the stuff they talk about don't interest me and I don't want to hear it.
I don't know.
They talk about a lot of sex stuff.
( thunder crashing ) ( rain pouring ) Wait, Rudy.
You're going to be good over there.
GRETCHEN: Keep your hands to yourself.
RUDY: Everybody's hands all over me.
Damn, Rudy.
GRETCHEN: It rained again last night and we had to rebuild the roof of their shelter yesterday and I think half of it is leakproof and half of it doesn't have a roof, and so a lot of us got very wet.
And it's frustrating because we had just moved from a shelter that we had worked out all the bugs in and kept us 90% dry.
RUDY: I was in there last night and, uh, when the rain came all them women eased down our way and I had about five women in my lap all of a sudden.
Rudy was kicking me in the head.
He doesn't care.
JENNA: Oh, yeah, people were getting kicked in the head all night long because he got out three times and he would just barrel through people.
RUDY: I mean, the pillows were right across me, and I had to get up and go to the head and I couldn't.
I don't know.
Rudy kicked me in the head, like, three times last night and I said, "Rudy, that's my head," and he said, "This is my space, so" I said, "Rudy, that's my head.
" He goes, "That's my spot.
" "I got to get out.
It's my spot.
" That's what he said.
Did you ask him to draw the outlines? Hey, I'm the old guy, don't forget.
Them young guys might have liked it.
It's a pain in the ass to me.
You do the honors.
No, no, it's yours now.
( both laugh ) Hey! I guess it's not in there but this is different.
"The next challenge, things couldn't be more fair.
"Just take a deep breath and don't come up for air.
"Immunity's the same except for this one note.
"Now only one will be safe while the rest of you face the vote.
" I'm guessing it's a "holding your breath" competition.
Welcome to Snake Island.
Congratulations on surviving the first phase.
You guys have now all proven that you can definitely survive the island.
I don't think that's in question.
You've been here three weeks; everybody's doing great.
Now it's going to be about who can survive each other.
How well you guys survive tribal politics.
We've replaced the immunity idol with an immunity talisman, so you will wear this around your neck.
That means that at Tribal Council you cannot have any votes cast against you.
You will not be voted off.
You can, however, vote against others still, so it's a great place to be.
This will go in the archives, this becomes the treasured icon.
This is our first immunity challenge as individuals.
It's very simple.
It's about holding your breath.
In the first round, all ten of you will go under the water to hold your breath.
You'll each hold onto a bar that will help keep you submerged.
The last three to surface go on to the final round.
Make sense? Head on in.
( laughing ) Survivors ready? Go! ( laughs ) ( laughing ) Come up for air.
Good job, Sue.
Yeah, good job, Sue.
I guess I had to come up.
( clock's second hand ticking ) Yeah.
Yay! Is he dead? Everybody's up.
Come on, Gervase.
He doesn't know if he should come up or not.
ALL: Yay! All right, Gervase! Sean, Gervase, Greg, you guys are moving on.
The rest of you guys can sit up here on the dock with me and take a break.
JEFF: Final round, this is it.
Still about holding your breath, but now we're adding speed.
We're going to swim out to a buoy.
At the bottom of the ocean floor are three ladders, one for each of you.
You're going to use the ladders to get momentum, and along the way are buoys.
Yank hard, release the buoy.
First person to the end of the course that's released all their buoys gets immunity.
Very simple.
Use the ladder, it's much quicker.
All right? Head out to your buoys.
I'll give you a start.
Good luck.
Gervase! Greg! Sean! This is for immunity-- the first individual immunity.
Win this, you cannot be voted off.
Survivors ready! Go! Gervase! Close! Very close, Greg! ( cheering ) You all right, Gervase? Never swam like that in my life, man.
Towards the very end, he was a smidgen ahead of me, and no matter what I did, we were right at each other.
Feel like Miss America? It's all you, man, it's all you.
RICHARD: But even though we aren't any longer two different teams, I still have a team.
It's going to be interesting because we're not solid.
We're solid with one another, but we're not solidly unbeatable yet just by circumstance, because there are only four of us and there are ten people still left on the island.
KELLY: When you get in that Tribal Council and you walk up and you see that little piece of paper and the thing that you put the vote in-- it's all different.
You know, you might you might have a thought and say, "Hey, I really don't want to vote this person off.
" It's easier said than done.
An alliance is easier said than done.
GREG: If people are fear- and self-preservation-motivated they'll band together, they'll form alliances, they'll start beating people out to try and get rid of the strong ones and get rid of this and get rid of that, and, uh, you know, if that happens I hope they vote me off really soon because, uh, that to me is-- whoa, cool flying fish-- that to me is really boring.
JENNA: Coming into this merger, I consider it a brand-new tribe.
I want a vote based on people's merits.
I don't want a vote based on "Let's get rid of each of them first and then come back to our tribe.
" I I want a vote based on, uh, who I really think should go, whether it be a member of our tribe or a member of theirs.
All right, welcome to your first, uh, Tribal Council as Rattana.
Doesn't change the rules.
Doesn't change anything here.
This is still where you account for your actions, good or bad, and, uh, by the end of the night one of you will be voted off the island.
So let's talk about the actions of the past few days.
Been a busy few days with the merger.
Richard, with the rules changing how has that changed the group dynamic? You know, I really haven't noticed much of a change in the dynamic at all.
Um we still seem to just get along really, really well.
There's only been two days together as two teams so there isn't, uh, really time for conflict to develop yet.
Gretchen, is it too soon to think that strategies might shift? Oh, I think people who are strategically playing the game, um, you know, strategy has changed for them.
How so? Well, from who's strongest in your tribe to keep, now who's strongest in this one tribe to get rid of 'cause they're your biggest competition.
Sean, aside from the physical-- who you want to hang out with, who you like being around-- how big a factor is that now going to play in who you vote for? Well, for me it's still a very big factor.
I think there's a lot of room in a group of ten to not think ultra-strategically just yet.
In talking to my tribe and talking to their tribe as the ambassador I think that most people are very concerned about alliances, just having a Tagi versus Pagong internal bloodbath, you know, and it's a-- yeah, that's a good word-- but, uh, I don't think that's going to occur.
The rain is really coming down all of a sudden.
All right, the only person for whom this does not really factor in tonight is Greg.
You cannot vote for Greg.
He however, can still vote for you, and will vote for one of you.
So with that, it's time to vote.
Greg, you're up first.
Either be here, or be gone.
I'm voting for Rudy.
He's probably the person that I respect most in the tribe, but the person I least want to play the game with.
Overconfident.
Moo.
I am not really employing any strategy.
I'm voting for Colleen today.
I love her, she's cute, adorable and nice to look at and fun to have around, but she's the first in a long list of alphabetical order and she won't get another vote from me unless she pisses me off or something.
But it's her turn today, being the first alphabetical order.
JEFF: Directly across from you are the six torches representing the first six people voted off.
Tonight, one of your torches will be added to that group.
I'll go tally the votes.
All right, I'll read the votes.
"Jenna.
" "Rich.
" "Gretchen.
" "Rudy.
" "Sue.
" "Colleen.
" "Gervase.
" Everybody got nailed.
"Gretchen.
" "Gretchen.
" Oh, my God! Oh, my God! It's me.
Gretchen, I need you to bring me your torch.
The tribe has spoken.
Yeah, they have.
It's time for you to go.
Good-bye.
( all saying good-bye ) Well, if tonight's vote is any indication, the stakes have definitely been raised.
You guys can head back to camp.
I'll see you tomorrow.
Next week on Survivor Greg cuts his play kitten Colleen loose.
You look right in the kitten's eye and snap its neck.
It's nothing personal; you're hungry.
And makes a move on Rich.
RICH: He's trying something.
That's great.
Tagi continues to plot.
Then it's their team, one by one by one.
And things aren't great for Jenna.
I miss my beauties.
Now it seems like she wants to leave the island.
I would hope that it was because they felt that I was a threat, unless, you know, people had a conflict with me and didn't ever voice it-- which I do think is kind of an injustice.
And I would hope that if somebody had a problem with me they would say it.
So, you know, I can hope that, but I won't know until I watch the show.
I can hope that it was because they thought I was a threat.
That would make me feel good.
Marooned for 39 days, they must work together to build shelter, find food and survive the island, but ultimately, it is everyone for themselves.
Every third night they will hike deep into the jungle to take part in the Tribal Council where they must vote one of their own off the island.
In the end, only one will remain and will leave the island with $1 million in cash.
Last week on Survivor: The merge was on everyone's mind as the two tribes prepared to become one.
We do got the merge coming.
( growling ) JEFF: At Tagi, Rich was flexing his voting alliance muscles.
RICHARD: I am in control of who's being voted off and I think that's all that matters to me.
JEFF: And Sue was deciding who on Pagong should be voted off after the merge.
Greg, definitely-- he's just way too psychotic.
JEFF: At Pagong, Gervase made a comment that upset his female tribe mates.
Girls are the stupidest things on the planet next to cows.
Oh! He called us "stupid.
" Go! JEFF: The immunity challenge became more competitive than ever because if Pagong won, they would enter the merge with six members to Tagi's four, giving them a voting advantage.
Yeah, you guys! JEFF: But Tagi won, insuring them that the tribes would merge at five members each.
The loss sent Pagong back to Tribal Council where Greg joined the women in voting Joel off the island.
On the eve of the merge, ten are left.
Who will be the first voted out of the newly formed tribe? ( chanting ) JEFF: Day 19.
Survivor has reached a turning point.
Very soon, the ten remaining members of Tagi and Pagong will form one new tribe.
They will live together but they will now compete against each other individually.
There are many questions to be answered: Where will they live? What will this new tribe call themselves? What kind of world will they now create? To begin the process, an ambassador from each tribe-- Jenna from Pagong and Sean from Tagi-- will assess the livability of each other's camp.
They will then paddle out to the sand spit for a summit where they will negotiate and decide on which of the two beaches this new tribe of ten will live.
Their decision will be final.
Sean is being guided to Pagong Beach by Greg, and Jenna is being guided to Tagi by Kelly.
This is the first time either ambassador has seen the opposing tribe's camp.
Our camp's way better than theirs just from talking to them.
They don't have a living room with benches, never mind a decent kitchen.
I think our house is better from what they've described.
We have fish.
Gretchen and I both fished for an hour.
Really? Nothing.
Not even a bite.
When do you guys fish? Early morning, late evening.
Yeah, that's when we fish.
But, you know, we got the gay guy gay compassionate guy.
He's, like, middle-of-the-road.
And you got Sue who says whatever the hell's on her mind.
SUSAN: As far as somebody coming here from Pagong today, it's going to be fun.
We like having company over at camp, even though we don't have a whole lot to offer for lunch.
I'm hoping I think the kicker of it all will be if Rich gets fish and we have fish for lunch.
I think they'll be here.
And Rich Rich is a sweetheart.
So easygoing.
He's naked a lot.
Um okay.
I'm excited about it being a big group, because right now there's not a lot of personalities going on and it's quiet and we've seen every inch of this little place here, and I'm excited to meet new people, and even if it's some good, some bad, or whatever, at least, it's something.
It's a mix and so it'll be more interesting than it is right now.
Oh, good, they sent the doctor.
Hi.
How are you? I'm fine.
Nice to see you.
Nice to see you.
What's going on, man? How do you feel? Good.
How about you? Nice to see you, man.
You want a tour? Yeah, let me have a tour.
Take me around.
Hi, Sue.
How are you? Good.
Beautiful The sun's out.
Stingray, cuttlefish and lobster for lunch.
( squeals ) We're having rock lobster for lunch.
Oh, my God.
Hey, Kel, check out the cuttlefish.
Deluxe.
Nice, nice.
Oh, yeah.
With a working lid and everything.
Wi-with lid.
Uh-huh.
How often do you guys move that? Never? Never.
This is, uh, chef Rudy.
Check out the kitchen.
Chef Rudy, um, can I go in your kitchen? Okay.
Oh, yeah.
Wipe your feet.
"Rowdy Rudy's Diner" This is where we keep spices, toilet paper, candles fruit peels go in there.
Nice.
But, uh This is so nice.
RICHARD: Isn't that a cool kitchen? So, see, now, these are our kitchen hammocks.
Damn! Oh, yeah, sleep five really comfortable.
Ours is about the same size, but it's lifted a little higher in the back.
And, uh, right now, we've just we got two mosquito nets.
The guys go on the left and me and Sue and Rich, the girls, go on the right.
Go ahead and pull out Yeah, we have this thing If you want, I'll diagram what we got.
Nice.
Super bench, living room area.
Oh, my God, you guys are very, very well-organized.
( laughing ) So much more than ours.
Have a seat.
Hey, not too bad.
We got plenty of this, too.
We don't eat that much of it.
No? No.
We have it.
We don't eat it.
GERVASE: We live off this stuff.
It's a lot of work for a little bit of sugar it seems to me, you know? You guys are amazing.
Like a well- oiled machine.
The stingray looks wonderful.
KELLY: Stingray is so good.
Stingray is incredible.
Does it grab you? Whoa.
Is it funkified already? Fermented? That's not good.
Next.
Number two.
SUSAN: You know, you kind of get Ah, there's a lot of meat on that bad boy.
Yeah, just try that.
SUSAN: Yeah.
Oh, my God.
SUSAN: Isn't it good? It's delicious.
I don't need anymore, you know.
You know I mean, uh Right off, just chew on the cuttlebone.
Hey, you know RICHARD: It's calamari.
It's going to be just like squid.
It's the exact same thing.
If you've had fried calamari, That's awesome.
well, we're having roasted.
Here.
RICHARD: That lobster, it's so sweet.
This is delicious.
( laughing ) That's what we want you to say when you get home.
Just tell them how good everything is.
Food, golden.
Yeah, when we merge tonight, I think it'll be interesting.
I think, uh, it'll set up a whole nother set of interpersonal dynamics that'll be fun for me to watch.
Tell us more, uh, like, rumors you've heard about us, or things you think you know about us Okay.
or what do you want to know about us? All right, um, let's see-- "rumors that I've heard"-- that you guys are plotting an alliance against us divide and conquer sort of thing.
Really? That's the big one.
The alliance that we have going on is Rich, Rudy, Kelly and me.
We'll vote four people strong, and if we can make it through the first two votes, getting somebody off of their team off ( chuckles ) we should be able to slide into home plate.
That's what we said.
Yeah, you only get We don't know any of you; you don't know any of us.
Exactly, and I'm so excited to get to know five new people.
( laughing ): So are we.
Cool.
Jenna's sincere.
She is sincere.
I believe Jenna's sincere, and I think Gretchen's sincere, but Gren Jenna is young, and not a mature young like you.
She's young.
Just babbling.
She's young flaky.
JENNA: I wanted to come across as a strong young mom 'cause I think they're often portrayed as victims of circumstance, and, uh wanted to be a good role model for my girls when they see it when they get older.
She wants to be proud for her children.
Proud for your children-- win.
She's just really happy to be here.
Show your girls what it's about and how to win.
Six days ago, I was 180 out, but, uh, I seen the light.
It's ( chuckles ) If you want to win this money, you got to get a little dirty.
You know, who's next, don't you? I don't need to deal with that.
Who, after Greg? Jenna.
Jenna.
I was thinking Sean.
Oh, yeah.
He's too much competition and he will not participate.
The reason Sean's not in the alliance because Sean is dumb.
So, Sean, are they, uh, planning on banding together and picking us off one by one? SEAN: I think they've changed their minds, you know, because I think they have very nice, warm touchy feelings towards you guys.
Sean's ethically against any kind of alliance and I hear Gretchen is similar on the other side and, um I don't get it.
You know, I-I consider myself extraordinarily ethical and moral and, uh, this has absolutely nothing to do with this.
Uh, it sounds like sheer stupidity to me when somebody says "Oh, no, I'm not going to build an alliance, and I hope they wouldn't do that either.
" Uh, you know, I giggle and think, "okay.
" ( laughing ) God, I'm glad I'm on your team.
Yeah, baby.
Didn't come here to make friends.
I got to lug one of you guys? GERVASE: Sean's cool.
Sean's a nice guy.
He had a lot of stories to tell, and I mean, he he was just, like, a genuine, honest guy-- you know, what he said, you just believed what he said.
You can just tell he wants to have some fun.
He hasn't had fun yet, so, uh we'll bring lots of fun his way.
We'll keep him entertained.
( both talking at once ) I will.
Bye, Rich.
Bye, Rudy.
RUDY: Jenna and Sean are going to have a good time talking.
I don't know which one talks the most.
She ain't shut up since she's been here.
Bye, guys.
Bye, girl.
Bye, Sean! JEFF: Welcome, Jenna.
A chair just for you.
Welcome.
And look at me-- I didn't dress for dinner.
How you doing? Nice to see you.
Nice to see you.
One chair for you.
Hello.
How are you? Wow, we're off to a good start.
A little kiss-- I like that.
Pretty cool.
Well, here's the deal: You guys are ambassadors for your tribes.
You have a very important task tonight.
We wanted you to feel like ambassadors, so we've prepared some lobster, you have some bread, baked potatoes, butter for the lobster, uh, lemon-- I don't think we missed anything except for the wine which is being chilled right now.
What I need in the morning is on this parchment, with a couple of pens in here, to have the new name of the tribe which camp you're going to be at, and the three items you're taking.
You'll be given one new color for this new tribe-- green-- yellow and orange no longer used to represent opposing tribes.
You are now one.
There's also stuff to make two new flags for camp.
There are paintbrushes, paints, so once you decide on the name, you can go to town on that.
Can we eat first? You can do you have all night.
As you can see right here, we have two beds.
( laughing ) Oh, my God.
So we are definitely staying here tonight? You are here all night.
Jenna, how stylin' are we! I immediately saw the table set up with it was like a romantic dinner.
It was like this table all set up with everything, two beds off to the right single, like, really nice sheets and pillows and blankets, and, uh like, a stump, we had a bedside table, we had lanterns everywhere, tiki torches, and the first thing I thought was "Oh, man, they're so setting this up for it to be romantic with Sean" and there's just there's not a spark there.
Making out's, I think, first base; second base, up the shirt; third base Okay, okay.
But I often give a bad first impression sometimes.
You never heard of bases like that? I always just knew what the home run was.
I'm all about the goal.
I'm goal-oriented.
Sliding into home plate here's Jenna.
Okay.
They wanted it to be more romantic than it was ever going to be, but, uh from either end of us, but we really had an exceptional time, and we tied one on, you know, uh, finished the bottles of wine, and we ate like kings and queens, and, uh, it was fantastic.
Uh, we saw Pagong's fire was still lit so I was like, "Oh, I want to call home.
They're probably worried.
" And, uh, so we threw a bunch of kerosene on our fire to make it whoosh, and they said they saw that, so I hoped that they would figure that I was still there, that I was okay.
Whoa.
Fire on the spit.
It seems so far away from the island.
GREG: They had to have fed Jenna.
I mean, the summit going from 4:00 in the afternoon until well after dark Yeah.
They're not going to let her starve.
With one lunch.
Well, Gervase can save hers in case his in case she wants to see what it would have been like.
JENNA: We talked all night.
It helped that they had four bottles of wine there.
So we drank them all and, uh, we were both pretty drunk.
And it's raining, and we're inside now.
We just made it.
We're completely covered.
We had a great meal.
Me, I'm exhausted from all this wine.
Do you want to go to bed? GRETCHEN: We're just waiting 'cause no one's given us any information.
So, I mean, last night we were wondering where she was.
And then somebody said "Well, she can't come back until the negotiations are over.
" But there's really nothing to negotiate.
We could have made a shelter in that time.
We could have made-- whatever they're negotiating for, we could have moved our whole camp-- been done in that time.
So I don't, I don't know what the whole process is about.
We miss Jenna.
We haven't seen Jenna at all since she's left, and we were kind of worried about her last night when it got dark and she wasn't here.
GREG: I'd be wasting my time and energy to, uh, guess what's happening.
So I don't even bother.
What's going on? It's a beautiful day.
The sun's nice.
You can see Mount Kinabalu and, uh, we're going to go fishing.
RUDY: That's a big one.
RICHARD: Yeah, he's a good fatty.
That's a lot of meat.
They talked about some kind of a negotiation, and I would imagine if the two parties had opposing views as to what camp they should move to that the negotiation might go on-- or might be interesting.
But since both parties, as far as we know, want to move to this camp, I can't imagine what's going on on the sand spit.
SUSAN: We're not sure yet, because Sean has been gone almost 24 hours now since we sent him off on the messenger thing.
So the anticipation of waiting for Sean is just actually starting to drive us wild.
Oh, my God! I have so much to tell you guys.
First things first-- we are moving.
We have five minutes from when we banked to get everything in your backpacks-- to get your luxury item.
Only what you brought in your backpacks and luxury item-- and three objects, which we chose, and we're out of here.
And we told Pagong the unfortunate news that they had five minutes to pack their things-- get their luxury item and choose three items.
Which we decided were the wool blanket that they have, the mosquito netting, so we could sleep under the mosquito netting, and the, um, cooking pot.
We were given a luxury dinner, but we had to decide a new name and we had to paint the new flag, and we had to pick a location-- she liked our camp a lot.
You guys will love it.
Actually, Sean let me do almost all of the deciding.
I came up with the name, he added an "a" on the end.
Jenna came up with the name.
It had to be something that was indigenous to the island and, you know, we have a lot of rattan wood here.
And we just added an "a" to make it sound more exotic.
That was my idea.
You know, give it a little flair, a little pizzazz.
JENNA: As we were dining on lobster and, um baked potatoes.
SEAN: Dessert.
JENNA: Four bottles of wine.
SEAN: Four bottles of wine.
Four bottles of wine.
A hangover in the morning.
A hangover, a bed Beds, a tent.
GREG: You know, they come back having had a great night and "oh, my God, I can't wait to tell you guys how much we've eaten.
" And that's wonderful.
That's how ambassadors should be treated.
But, you know, of course, when you're on an island surviving on white rice and the occasional fish SEAN: Four croissants with orange marmalade and strawberry jam.
Coffee four bottles.
Hey, tell me a little bit more about it.
I'd love to hear about butter sauce.
Like thanks.
GERVASE: I mean, it just makes more sense to go to their side.
I mean, I think that's what everybody wanted to do anyway.
Everybody wanted to get out of this section just for a new change of scenery.
We've been here for 20 days.
We've seen it.
We know it.
So it was just like, you know, let's try something new.
COLLEEN: Sean was even saying there's enough room for us in the hutch because enough people sleep outside, so It's going to go quick.
God, I hope it goes quick from here on out, you know.
Really.
When I first got here, I you know, I think maybe I would have been more comfortable on the other team, because I, you know, from what I understand, they pulled their camp together, they got their stuff hanging up, which is, like, something that's been bothering me since the day we got here, and but I think it was good for me to be with this tribe because, um, you don't have to work all the time and you don't have to be busting butt.
It's nice you know, we're healthy and we're happy and we spend a lot of time having fun.
So I think it taught me something, too.
You can be very comfortable and I don't feel like I need to bust butt all the time, and I've had a good time while I'm here.
So I'll be glad to go with the other tribe and I was glad to be with this tribe.
GREG: It's like starting over.
We've left behind a lot of things-- a lot of material possessions.
Metaphysically, we've also left behind a lot of emotional issues.
Um there was a lot of baggage that we left on that on that Pagong Beach.
But, uh we're moving on to bigger and better things.
I'm excited.
I did feel sadness when we left Pagong.
Looking back, that was where we rode to the first day when we were shipwrecked.
It was where I'd formed a bond with eight seven other people, so it was sad.
But it was a new beginning for me-- a whole nother tribe.
Are we close to Tagi? I don't think that's what it's called anymore.
It's Rattana.
( laughing and talking ) Come on, left side.
Come on, left side.
God, it's beautiful.
Yeah, it really is.
COLLEEN: So Rich came out, it was like "Hey, how are you?" You know, he swam out, which was really nice.
They welcomed us with open arms.
We got along really well.
Welcome.
Ooh! So, what they were really doing was coming to the beach and, uh, were moving in with what things they could have gotten together in the five minutes that they had to get together, I guess.
I was glad to see that.
Hi.
Nice to see you again.
Can I get a hug, all right? You, too, handsome.
Were you guys worried about me? Oh, yeah, yeah.
Clothesline.
House.
Living room.
Kitchen.
Bathroom.
Oh, my.
The house ain't done yet.
We can't tour the house yet, no.
GREG: A boy named Sue.
Strong, loud, with an accent that'll drive you up the wall! Was he talking about me? Yeah.
Oh, yeah.
Oh, come on! I'm up.
Remind me to do it.
Yeah, you had a good one.
This thing's about 300 years old.
I think Rudy's very set in his ways, so having, you know, five new people move in, it scared him a lot, so he was just sitting back and he was assessing the situation, I think.
All of a sudden, we doubled our population.
Uh, the house got smaller, the pots got smaller, and, uh personally, it's a pain in the ass.
New people, new scene new things to talk about, you know.
( general conversation ) KELLY: It's almost too good.
Like, everybody's too "Oh, you go first.
" "No, you go first," oh, you know, everybody's being real, real super polite, you know, which is cool.
COLLEEN: Sean is very intelligent.
Sometimes he says interesting things.
Sometimes you tune out for a while, and then he hits on something so you tune back in, you know.
I mean, he's always going.
SEAN: Girls always rank "sense of humor" then, like, "ambition" and then all this other stuff and then rank "looks," like, number five or six.
But meanwhile, I know so many unambitious, good-looking guys, who have absolutely no personality, that still get a lot of girls.
I'm really going to get skinny.
I got to go back in the water.
Bye.
GREG: Rich is clever and, uh I mean we'll start being honest now.
I think Rich thinks he's very clever.
He is, uh, relatively sharp, and, uh he has a lot of things going on in his mind that he, uh selectively decides, uh, what he will share and with whom.
Rich is playing a big game, which is very fun, so he's awfully entertaining.
KELLY: That it was suggested that we should, you know, "beef up" the supports and everything.
Okay, which, you know, I don't know I don't know anything about shingles and roofing, and I just know how to tie knots, that's pretty much all I know how to do.
Okay.
It ain't going nowhere.
You might want to tie this.
Ow! Up and down.
( loud crashing ) That doesn't sound good.
Oh, yeah.
( hearty laughter ) I didn't touch it.
Oh, my God! That did not just happen.
Oh, my God.
And, bam, shingles break, the whole roof comes crashing down.
Felt like such an idiot.
It figures that the day that everyone shows up the whole roof caves in while they're repairing it.
Yeah, it's the same as it is back home, ladies, here in the jungle.
The women are doing all the work and the guys are just hanging out and b.
s.
'ing, yeah.
It's my turn.
I pick up from here.
It's a hit.
I can hit you this card; you can't drop.
Every time you get hit you have to stay around one more round.
( gasping ) Very good, Rich.
( chuckles ) The guys are kind of bumming around, but I think that's good 'cause I think all the guys got to get to know each other.
RICHARD: Isn't that beautiful? Don't lie.
It looks like mucus, doesn't it? SUSAN: Oh, yeah.
Jammin'.
You see it, Sue? You see anything? ( laughing ) It's how men and women relate, you know.
The women-- we work together and we it's a little women are always a little bit competitive in everything we do, you know, so it's like when you're working together you're seeing what the other person can do, and you're proving each other at the same time.
Men can sit down and talk for hours and walk away friends.
You got the hang of it now.
( hearty chuckle ) Gervase was great.
I beat the hell out of him in a number of games that I've never played before, and he's, uh, he's good at cards.
I think he could have been letting me win.
Uh, who knows? He could be playing the odds, too.
It's natural to me.
What I do, I don't think I'm doing anything special.
I'm just being myself.
But other people always say, like, "You're a charmer.
" "You're a smooth talker.
" Looking real good there, Rich.
Thanks.
Real good there.
Can you tell I'm losing? Yeah.
That makes me happy, 'cause I can't tell.
They don't they don't cook out enough.
They're they're great for bait but their insides is just nothing but guts.
Greg's an interesting character.
He's young, too.
He's 24, and he was pretty cocky.
He was thinking he could go out and get something, came back in with a sea urchin.
( derisive chuckling ) But that was good, that shows people that he who thought he was a spear-fishing person could go out there, no problem, comes from the other tribe and came back in, telling everybody just how difficult it is-- that ups my value even more.
JENNA: Free in sight, less than 100 feet away and we have, like I've got this girl laid out in, like, across the back seat of, like, a Suzuki Sidekick and it was, like, incredible.
Come on.
Who can follow that? Not I.
Rich.
Rich can.
Rich, yay.
First night as one tribe we sat around the campfire, told stories-- very, very, very revealing stories.
KELLY: Gretchen said she drank a fifth of whiskey in two minutes when she was 14 and I would have never guessed that about her, you know? Sounds like we kind of have a similar past.
This new group is, like, it's like a banquet.
It's like a banquet of stories and excitement.
Sean left an orgy opportunity.
No, I left a two-on-one opportunity.
Two girls.
How come you left it? I was scared out of my mind.
RUDY: Some of the stuff they talk about don't interest me and I don't want to hear it.
I don't know.
They talk about a lot of sex stuff.
( thunder crashing ) ( rain pouring ) Wait, Rudy.
You're going to be good over there.
GRETCHEN: Keep your hands to yourself.
RUDY: Everybody's hands all over me.
Damn, Rudy.
GRETCHEN: It rained again last night and we had to rebuild the roof of their shelter yesterday and I think half of it is leakproof and half of it doesn't have a roof, and so a lot of us got very wet.
And it's frustrating because we had just moved from a shelter that we had worked out all the bugs in and kept us 90% dry.
RUDY: I was in there last night and, uh, when the rain came all them women eased down our way and I had about five women in my lap all of a sudden.
Rudy was kicking me in the head.
He doesn't care.
JENNA: Oh, yeah, people were getting kicked in the head all night long because he got out three times and he would just barrel through people.
RUDY: I mean, the pillows were right across me, and I had to get up and go to the head and I couldn't.
I don't know.
Rudy kicked me in the head, like, three times last night and I said, "Rudy, that's my head," and he said, "This is my space, so" I said, "Rudy, that's my head.
" He goes, "That's my spot.
" "I got to get out.
It's my spot.
" That's what he said.
Did you ask him to draw the outlines? Hey, I'm the old guy, don't forget.
Them young guys might have liked it.
It's a pain in the ass to me.
You do the honors.
No, no, it's yours now.
( both laugh ) Hey! I guess it's not in there but this is different.
"The next challenge, things couldn't be more fair.
"Just take a deep breath and don't come up for air.
"Immunity's the same except for this one note.
"Now only one will be safe while the rest of you face the vote.
" I'm guessing it's a "holding your breath" competition.
Welcome to Snake Island.
Congratulations on surviving the first phase.
You guys have now all proven that you can definitely survive the island.
I don't think that's in question.
You've been here three weeks; everybody's doing great.
Now it's going to be about who can survive each other.
How well you guys survive tribal politics.
We've replaced the immunity idol with an immunity talisman, so you will wear this around your neck.
That means that at Tribal Council you cannot have any votes cast against you.
You will not be voted off.
You can, however, vote against others still, so it's a great place to be.
This will go in the archives, this becomes the treasured icon.
This is our first immunity challenge as individuals.
It's very simple.
It's about holding your breath.
In the first round, all ten of you will go under the water to hold your breath.
You'll each hold onto a bar that will help keep you submerged.
The last three to surface go on to the final round.
Make sense? Head on in.
( laughing ) Survivors ready? Go! ( laughs ) ( laughing ) Come up for air.
Good job, Sue.
Yeah, good job, Sue.
I guess I had to come up.
( clock's second hand ticking ) Yeah.
Yay! Is he dead? Everybody's up.
Come on, Gervase.
He doesn't know if he should come up or not.
ALL: Yay! All right, Gervase! Sean, Gervase, Greg, you guys are moving on.
The rest of you guys can sit up here on the dock with me and take a break.
JEFF: Final round, this is it.
Still about holding your breath, but now we're adding speed.
We're going to swim out to a buoy.
At the bottom of the ocean floor are three ladders, one for each of you.
You're going to use the ladders to get momentum, and along the way are buoys.
Yank hard, release the buoy.
First person to the end of the course that's released all their buoys gets immunity.
Very simple.
Use the ladder, it's much quicker.
All right? Head out to your buoys.
I'll give you a start.
Good luck.
Gervase! Greg! Sean! This is for immunity-- the first individual immunity.
Win this, you cannot be voted off.
Survivors ready! Go! Gervase! Close! Very close, Greg! ( cheering ) You all right, Gervase? Never swam like that in my life, man.
Towards the very end, he was a smidgen ahead of me, and no matter what I did, we were right at each other.
Feel like Miss America? It's all you, man, it's all you.
RICHARD: But even though we aren't any longer two different teams, I still have a team.
It's going to be interesting because we're not solid.
We're solid with one another, but we're not solidly unbeatable yet just by circumstance, because there are only four of us and there are ten people still left on the island.
KELLY: When you get in that Tribal Council and you walk up and you see that little piece of paper and the thing that you put the vote in-- it's all different.
You know, you might you might have a thought and say, "Hey, I really don't want to vote this person off.
" It's easier said than done.
An alliance is easier said than done.
GREG: If people are fear- and self-preservation-motivated they'll band together, they'll form alliances, they'll start beating people out to try and get rid of the strong ones and get rid of this and get rid of that, and, uh, you know, if that happens I hope they vote me off really soon because, uh, that to me is-- whoa, cool flying fish-- that to me is really boring.
JENNA: Coming into this merger, I consider it a brand-new tribe.
I want a vote based on people's merits.
I don't want a vote based on "Let's get rid of each of them first and then come back to our tribe.
" I I want a vote based on, uh, who I really think should go, whether it be a member of our tribe or a member of theirs.
All right, welcome to your first, uh, Tribal Council as Rattana.
Doesn't change the rules.
Doesn't change anything here.
This is still where you account for your actions, good or bad, and, uh, by the end of the night one of you will be voted off the island.
So let's talk about the actions of the past few days.
Been a busy few days with the merger.
Richard, with the rules changing how has that changed the group dynamic? You know, I really haven't noticed much of a change in the dynamic at all.
Um we still seem to just get along really, really well.
There's only been two days together as two teams so there isn't, uh, really time for conflict to develop yet.
Gretchen, is it too soon to think that strategies might shift? Oh, I think people who are strategically playing the game, um, you know, strategy has changed for them.
How so? Well, from who's strongest in your tribe to keep, now who's strongest in this one tribe to get rid of 'cause they're your biggest competition.
Sean, aside from the physical-- who you want to hang out with, who you like being around-- how big a factor is that now going to play in who you vote for? Well, for me it's still a very big factor.
I think there's a lot of room in a group of ten to not think ultra-strategically just yet.
In talking to my tribe and talking to their tribe as the ambassador I think that most people are very concerned about alliances, just having a Tagi versus Pagong internal bloodbath, you know, and it's a-- yeah, that's a good word-- but, uh, I don't think that's going to occur.
The rain is really coming down all of a sudden.
All right, the only person for whom this does not really factor in tonight is Greg.
You cannot vote for Greg.
He however, can still vote for you, and will vote for one of you.
So with that, it's time to vote.
Greg, you're up first.
Either be here, or be gone.
I'm voting for Rudy.
He's probably the person that I respect most in the tribe, but the person I least want to play the game with.
Overconfident.
Moo.
I am not really employing any strategy.
I'm voting for Colleen today.
I love her, she's cute, adorable and nice to look at and fun to have around, but she's the first in a long list of alphabetical order and she won't get another vote from me unless she pisses me off or something.
But it's her turn today, being the first alphabetical order.
JEFF: Directly across from you are the six torches representing the first six people voted off.
Tonight, one of your torches will be added to that group.
I'll go tally the votes.
All right, I'll read the votes.
"Jenna.
" "Rich.
" "Gretchen.
" "Rudy.
" "Sue.
" "Colleen.
" "Gervase.
" Everybody got nailed.
"Gretchen.
" "Gretchen.
" Oh, my God! Oh, my God! It's me.
Gretchen, I need you to bring me your torch.
The tribe has spoken.
Yeah, they have.
It's time for you to go.
Good-bye.
( all saying good-bye ) Well, if tonight's vote is any indication, the stakes have definitely been raised.
You guys can head back to camp.
I'll see you tomorrow.
Next week on Survivor Greg cuts his play kitten Colleen loose.
You look right in the kitten's eye and snap its neck.
It's nothing personal; you're hungry.
And makes a move on Rich.
RICH: He's trying something.
That's great.
Tagi continues to plot.
Then it's their team, one by one by one.
And things aren't great for Jenna.
I miss my beauties.
Now it seems like she wants to leave the island.
I would hope that it was because they felt that I was a threat, unless, you know, people had a conflict with me and didn't ever voice it-- which I do think is kind of an injustice.
And I would hope that if somebody had a problem with me they would say it.
So, you know, I can hope that, but I won't know until I watch the show.
I can hope that it was because they thought I was a threat.
That would make me feel good.
