Survivor: Season 1, Episode 5

1. 16 Americans forced to abandon ship

2. in the middle of the South China sea...

3. Marooned for 39 days, they must work together

4. to build shelter, find food and survive the island

5. but, ultimately, it is everyone for themselves.

6. Every third night

7. they will hike deep into the jungle

8. to take part in the Tribal Council

9. where they must vote one of their own

10. off the island.

11. In the end, only one will remain,

12. and will leave the island with $1 million in cash.

13. Last week on Survivor...

14. It was the worst night

15. I've ever slept.

16. Gretchen decided

17. she wouldn't sleep one more night

18. in their poorly constructed shelter.

19. I don't want to sleep in that anymore.

20. I don't want to be antisocial

21. but I'm going

22. in the woods.

23. Ramona felt like an outcast

24. and wanted to redeem herself.

25. Want to play rough, huh?

26. She's trying, but I think maybe it is

27. a little too little too late.

28. At Tagi tribe, Sue continued her quest to find more food...

29. Tapioca. Tapioca's supposed to have red lines and...

30. Got to find the tapioca.

31. While Sean worked on other island necessities.

32. I had this vision.

33. I thought I'd build myself a bowling alley

34. right about here.

35. Sean sits there for five hours

36. and builds his bowling alley.

37. I'm tired of feeding people that don't do anything.

38. My parents would be so proud.

39. A cunning plan was hatched by Sue, Kelly and Rich.

40. So, the, um...

41. alliances have begun.

42. The whole point of forming an alliance is so

43. we're all going to vote the same way.

44. Tagi was on a roll.

45. They won the reward challenge...

46. Go get it.

47. And, then...

48. the Immunity Challenge.

49. So, a distraught Pagong tribe

50. had to return to Tribal Council.

51. The most difficult thing for me

52. was to vote somebody off.

53. And even though Ramona

54. had been working harder than ever,

55. she was still voted off.

56. Last vote: Ramona.

57. The tribe has spoken.

58. 12 people left.

59. Who will be voted off next?

60. Captioning sponsored by CBS and SURVIVOR PRODUCTIONS

61. We slept late for the first time

62. since we've been here today.

63. Everybody's a little bit on edge.

64. Everybody's a little vulnerable today.

65. I think today we're just a little bit down

66. because another person's gone, of course,

67. and we can see that the group's getting

68. a little bit smaller.

69. Even if it's only two people smaller,

70. it's still getting a little bit smaller

71. and, uh, and we're starting to see that a little bit.

72. For some reason,

73. the last two to three days we've just been really down.

74. I think it's got a lot to do with just, uh,

75. we lost two in a row.

76. We lost a member of the group and one of...

77. who I consider one of our male leaders, Greg,

78. was really feeling terrible.

79. He's got an ear infection.

80. He's really sick.

81. I think the camp looks trashy.

82. I think stuff's all over the place.

83. I think the flag should be up.

84. I mean, there's a lot we could do

85. to make this camp look really nice.

86. I mean, something's going to have to change.

87. Something's going to have to happen

88. to make everybody decide to pitch in.

89. Welcome to the big top, ladies and gentlemen.

90. That is the parachute

91. that they dropped the cargo with the other day

92. that, uh, contained some goodies

93. and, uh, right now, they want

94. to hang the parachute up for shade.

95. Me, personally, I was a little irritated

96. with, um, Sean and Dirk's effort around camp.

97. I mean,

98. they try to go fishing

99. when they know they're not going to catch anything

100. and I think, personally, it's just so they can say,

101. "Hey, well, we did something."

102. Kelly thinks that failure to catch fish is failure to try.

103. You know, I think she's equating those two, which is not true.

104. Right now we could be working...

105. driving through rush hour traffic.

106. Yep.

107. Fighting bills

108. and trying to get dates.

109. Instead we're just chilling on the South China sea.

110. The fish are not biting hooks out here for some reason.

111. Either we got the wrong bait, or we're going at the wrong time.

112. Fishing with a hook, I think, is useless.

113. They put about 25 hours in

114. and not a bite.

115. That's a big enough hint for me not to go fishing with a hook.

116. You guys getting anything?

117. Not even a nibble.

118. It's our day off, brother.

119. I'm just irritated with Sean and Dirk

120. going out and wasting three days

121. in the daylight fishing.

122. And I let them know, too.

123. During the day, you should go out in the woods

124. looking for tapioca

125. and fish at night.

126. You guys wasted

127. three days fishing during the day.

128. I don't think it was a waste.

129. Well, did you catch anything?

130. No, ma'am.

131. Okay.

132. It was a waste of time then.

133. It's expected to get on each other's nerves.

134. Maybe everyone's on my nerves, too,

135. but I just don't really act on it.

136. I just wanted to be happy—

137. have a nice life here and that's it.

138. It's been the people who really work and contribute to camp

139. versus the people who are lazy

140. and don't really do anything

141. to contribute to the camp.

142. The second I stop having fun

143. I'll vote myself off the island.

144. I came here to have a great time,

145. grow in my faith

146. with the Lord

147. and that's the most important thing to me.

148. It's funny to me that a guy would read the Bible out here.

149. The only reason I'd bring a Bible is if...

150. I mean, I'm religious too...

151. if I needed toilet paper.

152. Come on over, guys.

153. I bring news of tomorrow's challenge.

154. Right here.

155. "First Annual

156. "Weapons Target Shooting Classic.

157. The battle in Borneo."

158. Now, it's a reward challenge,

159. so you'll be competing against the other tribe

160. for something I have a feeling you all want— food.

161. So here's the deal.

162. It'll be three rounds.

163. First round is a blowgun.

164. Five darts.

165. Second round— a mighty slingshot

166. and the third round, spear tossing.

167. So you'll pick one person for each event.

168. So only three people will participate.

169. And I'm coming to bring these so you can practice.

170. Yeah! I love it.

171. We had a little visit

172. from Jeff, our host, today,

173. and he came by and told us that tomorrow's going

174. to be a competition— a reward challenge.

175. So we've been practicing all day at that.

176. Right in the coconut.

177. That wasn't too bad.

178. Turns out that I'm pretty good

179. with the blowgun. And I never really...

180. never shot a blowgun before in my life.

181. Dead on. Good.

182. Turns out Rich is an expert marksman.

183. Something we didn't know about him

184. until today, so, uh...

185. He has excellent aim

186. when it comes to a slingshot.

187. No worries.

188. Yeah, I think he's slingshot boy.

189. And Sue throws that spear

190. much better than any of the guys in our tribe.

191. She's a wild woman with the spear.

192. I always wanted to kill a pig with a javelin... with a spear.

193. And I was kind of hoping that I'd be good at nothing

194. so that I could just, like, hang back

195. and let the pressure go on somebody else.

196. Turns out I throw the javelin the best.

197. I'm thinking the other team's going to have a guy

198. throwing the spear.

199. So if there is, there's a good chance

200. that I can dog some guy on national TV.

201. Cool.

202. No matter who they put up, you got it.

203. Even if we lost

204. and I at least dogged the guy in the spear throwing,

205. they'd be happy.

206. Next up, out of Green Bay,

207. weighing in at 2... excuse me,

208. he lost 20 pounds. 180.

209. he lost 20 pounds. 180. Big country all-American,

210. Big country all-American,

211. the world's strongest man!

212. I never really threw a spear in my life.

213. Except, you know... anything serious.

214. It's kind of hard to keep it straight.

215. That's a good distance,

216. especially a little thing like this,

217. and you don't know if you can take a running start

218. or how you should do it, or what the thing is, so

219. this looks like it's going to be our weakest event for sure.

220. Because the other girls have the blowguns down really well.

221. The slingshot looks good.

222. So it would be nice to win it today.

223. A lot of these reward challenges we haven't really been after,

224. but I think we're all really determined for this one.

225. Looks good.

226. Welcome to the First Annual Survivor Weapons Challenge,

227. otherwise known as The Battle in Borneo.

228. It's three rounds— first round is blow darts.

229. You guys have selected your blow dart shooters?

230. All right, you guys'll have ten darts.

231. Go ahead and take your shot here.

232. Tagi, over here; Pagong over here to watch.

233. Any of the fruit you hit goes into a basket

234. that we carry over

235. to the next round.

236. Chinese melon!

237. Yeah!

238. Yeah!

239. Last shot.

240. Good round, guys.

241. Head over to the slingshot area.

242. I'll collect your fruit.

243. Hey, good work, buddy.

244. All right, it's a time trial.

245. Let's have the two slingshotters come up.

246. Come on, Gretchen!

247. Come on, baby, come on, now!

248. Here are the rules for this round:

249. If you knock the fruit off,

250. if you break the vase

251. or if you embed a rock in the fruit

252. it goes into the fruit basket.

253. You have two minutes

254. to hit as many of the items as you can.

255. Yeah!

256. All right, round three...

257. spear throwing,

258. and this is where it gets very interesting.

259. This is a winner-take-all event.

260. The single spear that is closest

261. to the bull's-eye when it's over

262. gets the basket of fruit

263. and a very special food source— a mystery food source.

264. Who are your two spear throwers?

265. Step up, mate.

266. This box is for shooters only.

267. You each get three tosses.

268. Susan, you're up.

269. Good shot! Nice shot!

270. Come on, Joel, you can do it.

271. Come on, Joel.

272. Nice, Joel!

273. Good job!

274. Good job!

275. This is our closest right now. Pagong.

276. Nice shot!

277. Those are even right now.

278. Come on, Joel.

279. Nice!

280. We want fruit!

281. New mark to beat.

282. Come on, Sue.

283. Last shot, Susan. Got to get inside that mark.

284. Nice!

285. Victory for Pagong.

286. Pagong, over here.

287. Tagi...

288. stay on your mat.

289. Nice job, guys— you get all the fruit...

290. Yes! Yes!

291. And a very special

292. mystery food prize.

293. Pizza? Apple?

294. Oh, snickers bars! A chicken!

295. Are you kidding? Oh!

296. Yes! Yeah!

297. Egg-laying chickens...

298. and all the fruit— congratulations.

299. Tagi, sorry.

300. Don't let them go.

301. Yeah, that's going to happen.

302. This is so awesome; we got chickens.

303. You guys going to name these chickens?

304. Breakfast, lunch and dinner.

305. Breakfast, lunch and dinner.

306. I don't know what brought us down, but it seems like

307. winning that challenge just brought everybody right back up.

308. I can't speak for the rest of the tribe,

309. but I really wanted to win 'cause it was food.

310. I wanted to win that

311. more than any of the other rewards thus far.

312. Unexpectedly, we came back with three live chickens

313. which was absolutely wonderful.

314. Don't you dare.

315. Uh...

316. Whoo!

317. Aw, Gretchen!

318. You're so mean.

319. Mean, my ass.

320. Well, we're going to see if they produce any eggs,

321. but I'm really thinking that we're going to wait

322. every other day and eat a chicken.

323. They're not going to be around long.

324. Everybody's waiting for them to lay eggs

325. but I think they're under a lot of stress

326. and there's three of them in that box

327. and so they have a very short time to produce

328. before they're slaughtered.

329. You could make a big omelet.

330. That or we could just make fried rice with it.

331. Oh, chicken fried rice?

332. Chicken fried rice.

333. Oh, gross! Oh, my God!

334. Sorry, Breakfast, Lunch and Dinner.

335. The fruit and the chickens was just so huge

336. to us, really, I mean...

337. I think that's the biggest reward so far to date.

338. Fresh fruit.

339. Ooh!

340. I think we were down just because we lost.

341. I mean, no matter how you look at it, losing hurts

342. and we had to vote somebody off.

343. So we just had to get out of that, and then, when we won

344. the reward challenge, that was our momentum right there.

345. As far as losing the challenge today,

346. I was a little irritated.

347. Here's my dream come true.

348. I can stomp a guy on national television

349. and I miss by two inches.

350. It was a bummer, but then

351. when they pulled the chickens out, I started laughing.

352. Cutting off a chicken's head?

353. No, it's not what I would want to do for food.

354. I can live without the chicken right now.

355. So that was all right.

356. The other team won some live chickens with some eggs.

357. So we came back here

358. and I went spearfishing and got us a nice eel.

359. That's the first eel.

360. If I'd seen others, I'd have gotten others.

361. Oh, wow.

362. It's all beautiful meat, the whole thing.

363. Nice job, Rich.

364. Is that pretty?

365. It's so pretty.

366. That's a lot of meat. That's a lot of meat, there.

367. It's all meat.

368. Beats the hell out of chicken.

369. I'd rather eat some eel than some chicken.

370. At least we eat stuff that we go out and catch

371. and look for ourselves, and we don't have it handed to us.

372. It might be a little overcooked.

373. It's meat.

374. It's meat.

375. Grab a piece.

376. Grab a piece and see if you can rip it apart.

377. That's what it's going to take.

378. It's cartilaginous, so chew on it.

379. The eel was pretty horrible.

380. Uh, it wasn't any good whatsoever.

381. We thought it was just going to be

382. you know, big, fat steaks of meat, but it really wasn't.

383. I wouldn't go after eel again

384. if I had a choice— I would have rather had

385. chicken without a doubt.

386. Wow. That's something.

387. My feelings

388. on who the leader is has always been Greg.

389. He's just really good at it.

390. I may be slipping into some sort of leadership position.

391. I'm attempting to avoid it.

392. I don't want to be the leader of anything.

393. I go play by myself, help out the tribe as much as I can

394. and try and recharge my batteries

395. so I can be there fully with them.

396. He's really good at living in the woods, too.

397. I think, out of everybody here,

398. Greg's the most comfortable in the woods.

399. My psychological comfort does not come

400. from sleeping with the group in a hut.

401. In fact, they kind of make me nervous,

402. 'cause there are a lot of people doing

403. a lot of different things

404. and it's a lot of energy in a very small space

405. while I'm trying to clear my head of energy.

406. Sleeping in the forest is comfortable

407. for me.

408. I'm making a little sleeping pad.

409. Sleeping pad, sleeping bag— depending on how big it gets.

410. I just used some bedding of debris

411. or whatever I can find— palm or the leaves

412. that are around— and pile up a bunch of debris.

413. It's all a nesting instinct.

414. As with everything, make yourself a nest.

415. I nest like a mama bird.

416. Papa bird— more like a papa bird than a mama bird.

417. A single... like a bachelor bird, I guess.

418. Colleen has joined me in the forest to sleep.

419. She apparently finds it more comfortable, as well.

420. I mean, they go off a lot, seems like together.

421. Like last night, for example,

422. while everybody was going to bed,

423. they got out, and nobody saw them

424. till just this morning sometime.

425. I noticed they seem to be spending their nights

426. out under the stars and cuddling up.

427. I think it's stepped up a notch—

428. maybe a little romance going on.

429. Um, when we go off, it's all about sex.

430. It's all that's happening.

431. Um...

432. it's a really passionate affair right now.

433. Things are going great.

434. The question was asked before

435. whether this was a romantic situation or not,

436. and I will reaffirm that there is no romance.

437. You know,

438. he reminds me of my friends back home, so it's like

439. I can totally, totally be myself with him.

440. So we like to play together—

441. not as a romantic situation, but, yeah

442. heading back out in the forest and sleeping out there

443. and the rest of it is great.

444. This is a yellow-banded sea crate.

445. We find a number of them in the jungle.

446. I haven't seen one down here on the beach.

447. I'm hoping he goes for a swim.

448. I might help him.

449. He's awake now.

450. Oh, I'm not afraid of snakes.

451. I mean, I don't want to be bitten

452. by something that's deadly, but, no, I used to play

453. with garter snakes, when I was a kid

454. and feed them frogs, and...

455. You know, they're not...

456. They are quick, and it's... they can move fast,

457. but you can see when he's about to coil up

458. and strike and you can prepare yourself

459. and you can get ready to move before it does.

460. I want to put him in the water 'cause I want to watch him swim.

461. We've been told

462. they're extremely deadly—

463. immediately deadly, within six hours deadly.

464. Horseflies bother me more.

465. I knew today was going to be a good day when I woke up.

466. I haven't had a bowel movement in nearly two weeks.

467. This morning, I had my first bowel movement— felt fantastic.

468. I am one of the bowel movers now.

469. I'm getting thinner and thinner.

470. I think I'm using most of the rice I make

471. 'cause I'm not bloated

472. and my pants are getting skinnier.

473. Very excited about it— it's the way

474. to start the day off, with a little bit of a bowel movement.

475. Nice work, Sean.

476. Go, New York, go.

477. We were concerned about Dirk and his eating a while ago,

478. because he was really disappearing into nothing.

479. We're all losing a little bit of weight,

480. but Dirk was really losing a lot of weight.

481. I definitely lost a lot of mass,

482. a lot of muscle mass, a lot of strength.

483. It's not going to help me

484. but, as long as I conserve my energy—

485. don't waste it on things that we don't need—

486. as long as I'm smart about it, I think I'll be okay.

487. We've noticed Dirk kind of

488. getting a little skinny.

489. Um, there was a few days

490. where we were all kind of concerned about him

491. and, uh, he was just kind of...

492. I think, you know, mentally, he was a little bummed out

493. and all of us were, like, "eat more rice, eat more rice."

494. We're going on a tapioca hunt.

495. That way, you can eat more, Dirk,

496. 'cause you're looking like hell.

497. You look like a nazi war prisoner camp, dude.

498. I don't look that bad.

499. Yeah, you do.

500. Nazi war prisoner camp dude.

501. Your Adam's apple's about out to the bottom of your chin.

502. It usually is anyway. Yeah. Hell, my arm's

503. as big as yours now.

504. But it was before.

505. Well, we all kind of try and keep an eye on him,

506. 'cause he was real skinny to begin with.

507. I'm doing the dishes; I'm going out.

508. We got that.

509. Anybody else?

510. The labor thing, it's actually better now.

511. Sean and Dirk started to realize

512. that they better, you know, do something.

513. Otherwise, they're out of here.

514. Want me to peel one of the big ones

515. when you guys are done?

516. Yeah. Is there another knife?

517. They've kind of come around the last couple,

518. two, three days and started doing

519. a little more, but it's a little too late for that.

520. Maybe I am on thin ice with this team now.

521. I don't know.

522. I feel like I'm pulling my weight

523. and I think the group sees that

524. and I'm just going to find tapioca, and I'm just going

525. to let it work itself out.

526. Where you going? For tapioca?

527. Yeah.

528. You know what the, uh, roots look like.

529. Yeah, yeah, I just showed Dirk.

530. And you know

531. what the trunks look like.

532. Yeah. No, I just showed him the thing by the raft.

533. Kelly, Sue and I—

534. we need to decide cohesively who we're going to reject

535. and it's between Sean and Dirk, and Sean—

536. yesterday, he was talking about how he doesn't want

537. to form an alliance because...

538. Yeah.

539. You know, "do unto others" and...

540. What? You're in the midst of a game. "... as others do unto you."

541. It's just a game; this is not real life.

542. So, we're thinking, "boy, Sean, it's time for you to go, bud."

543. Tapioca's good eating, too.

544. We definitely want a lot of it.

545. I don't even know if I know what I'm looking for.

546. It's a distinctive reddish root.

547. Will I know when I find it?

548. If we look further along the trail,

549. maybe we'll have better luck.

550. I can't find any tapioca, man.

551. I don't know where it is.

552. Hermit crab crawling through the jungle.

553. Look at the claws on that thing.

554. They do make them big here in the jungle.

555. What about the tapioca?

556. They make any tapioca big in this jungle?

557. Not really.

558. We still ain't found any.

559. We're sucking at this jungle thing.

560. There was about five on this stem that I picked up

561. but only one was good.

562. The rest were mushy.

563. So I had to throw the rest away.

564. It wasn't a complete loss.

565. I think that we've exhausted our supply.

566. So that's the end of the tapioca, then?

567. I think. I mean, you guys have better luck.

568. You can go look, too.

569. Rather an unsuccessful hunt for me and you.

570. Yep.

571. Maybe it's you and me, man.

572. Maybe we're a bad team.

573. Probably.

574. We're a fun team, though.

575. Got our message.

576. Check it out.

577. "Selecting one's always a chore,

578. "so check your ego at the door.

579. "One to row, the rest to swim.

580. Make it fast, and immunity you'll win."

581. It's in the water. We got to win.

582. Today's day 15

583. and we have an Immunity Challenge today.

584. Hopefully, um, it'll be something that, uh...

585. that we can win pretty handily, and I don't feel like going

586. to the Immune Council tonight by any means.

587. I think we're all swimming except one rower.

588. Gervase can't swim, and he's kind of gangly,

589. so I don't picture him rowing all that well.

590. I don't know. Maybe he can.

591. I think we certainly have an edge up.

592. Apparently, we need one rower and the rest of us swimming,

593. which is good, because we have Kelly who's a rower.

594. That's what she does as a profession for a living.

595. So it's your turn to shine, Kel.

596. Oh, boy. This is it.

597. You've been waiting for this.

598. Your time to shine.

599. I'm a commercial white-water raft guide,

600. so obviously, I'm the rower today.

601. Feeling a little pressure, but I'm not too worried about it.

602. I know Gervase can't swim, so my guess

603. is that they're going to put him in the boat rowing,

604. which is cool for me

605. because I can beat him any day of the week.

606. "Selecting one is always a chore

607. "so check your ego at the door.

608. "One to row, the rest to swim.

609. Make it fast, and immunity you'll win."

610. The decision that is obvious is that Gervase should row.

611. You can look at it as a disadvantage

612. that Gervase can't swim.

613. But we all are going to have our differences.

614. Not all of us are going to be strong at everything.

615. Wow.

616. Swimming and rowing.

617. I sent Gervase to row so he doesn't have to swim.

618. But they'll guess that.

619. They'll know that that's what we're doing.

620. Yeah, but I mean, what other choice do we have?

621. We might not even get a life preserver.

622. "Check your ego at the door."

623. Comfort level with swimming's about 80%.

624. I mean, I've heard you're more buoyant

625. in the ocean, because of the salt water.

626. I don't know that, though.

627. To me, I'll sink like I was in a pool.

628. Maybe we have to build something

629. and the people who swim have to push it and one guy rows it.

630. I can't wait!

631. Who knows?

632. Today's Immunity Challenge

633. is called "shipwrecked."

634. Five members from each tribe are stranded

635. on items of floating debris

636. simulating a sunken ship disaster.

637. The remaining two castaways must rescue

638. the members of their own tribe by using outrigger canoes.

639. Kelly was chosen to row by Tagi

640. and Gervase was chosen by Pagong.

641. Here's the premise.

642. It's all on you guys.

643. You're each going to be in one of these canoes.

644. You're going to swim out

645. to the outside of your buoy—

646. yellow and orange.

647. Once you go on the outside

648. of the buoy, you start heading back

649. and you start picking up tribe members.

650. Once they are on board, though,

651. they can start helping you with paddles.

652. You've got three paddles, and you've got one bailer,

653. 'cause you will take on water today,

654. as rough as it is.

655. It's for immunity.

656. Losing tribe's coming to Tribal Council tonight.

657. So what I want to know is,

658. how did you guys get selected for this?

659. Why are you the rower?

660. Well, I'm a water all-star,

661. so this is my element right here,

662. so there was no choice.

663. You, on the other hand, water is...

664. as we've talked about, this is a whole new thing for you.

665. Yes, yes.

666. Are you rowing because you'd

667. rather row than swim?

668. I think that's what we were thinking at first,

669. but I knew it would be something kind of tricky

670. and it's show time, so I like the spotlight.

671. Really? Lot of pressure.

672. Pressure's good.

673. They're doing

674. nothing out there.

675. It is all the person on the boat.

676. All right. Good luck.

677. Good luck. Thank you.

678. For the idol, get in your boats.

679. Survivors ready?

680. Go!

681. Get out! Get out!

682. Get out! Get out!

683. Over here.

684. Over this way.

685. Over to the right.

686. Get it up here!

687. Gervase's last words were,

688. "I like the spotlight.

689. Bring it on."

690. Who's invincible tonight?

691. Gervase!

692. Does anybody

693. feel especially invincible tonight?

694. I got beat by a guy who can't even swim.

695. Yeah, but he wasn't swimming.

696. Yeah.

697. Go, Kelly.

698. I can't believe that

699. I lost that.

700. Hey, guys,

701. the immunity idol.

702. Welcome back home, immunity idol!

703. Tonight we have to take the suckfest hike

704. to the Tribal Council,

705. and we get to vote somebody off tonight, unfortunately.

706. You know, despite everything,

707. I was the best choice to put in that boat today,

708. and, you know, like I said,

709. sometimes your best just isn't good enough

710. and life just wouldn't be life if everybody didn't get

711. their little embarrassments from time to time, so...

712. That which doesn't kill you

713. makes you stronger, right, Sean?

714. Absolutely.

715. I say that to myself all the time.

716. Me, too.

717. Same exact sentence.

718. Oh, yeah, it's always in the back of my mind

719. whether or not

720. anyone's going to vote against me.

721. I don't have a vote against me yet,

722. and now we're losing numbers so I'm sure one's coming,

723. just like the other people who don't have a vote

724. against them, one's coming in their direction, too.

725. I suspect it might be Rudy.

726. That's how I'll probably cast my vote at this point.

727. I'm ready.

728. It's an interesting game, but it's a game,

729. and I've had a strategy from day one.

730. I've already built an alliance and we're going to work through

731. as best we can right to the end

732. before the free-for-all.

733. Just walking to our death right here.

734. I think I'm vulnerable.

735. I've tried my hardest and put as much effort

736. if not more into everything, but I haven't been successful

737. in any areas so maybe some

738. people will look at that and say,

739. "Dirk doesn't know what he's doing.

740. He's being lazy." Whatever.

741. But I think they realize that I'm a valuable member

742. of this team, so I'm not worried about being voted off.

743. I think I'll be here tomorrow.

744. Ready?

745. What's to say?

746. Tribal council.

747. Tough situation. Kelly, tell me about morale.

748. Two tough losses back-to-back.

749. Personally, for me, today was really hard.

750. Um... coulda, shoulda, woulda a lot of things, you know?

751. I said some things at the beach... whatever.

752. I'm not making excuses,

753. not trying to, not going to, you know?

754. I gave it my best today and just wasn't good enough,

755. so ate a little crow, it's all right.

756. Doesn't mean I have to like it.

757. Sean, your role here?

758. Very nebulous.

759. I don't know what I'm doing here.

760. After how long we been here?

761. 15, 16 days.

762. I still haven't found my niche.

763. I'm just here to have fun.

764. I'll take it as far as I can go

765. till you throw me kicking and screaming off this island.

766. Yeah? Dirk?

767. It seems like I've noticed

768. you spending more time alone.

769. How much of that time do you spend thinking

770. about how effective you are at fitting in this group?

771. I'd say very little.

772. I can't think myself into being more effective, you know?

773. I'm working hard.

774. I'm catching fish

775. and I've been completely unsuccessful.

776. I'm working hard at hunting tapioca

777. and I've been completely unsuccessful.

778. I've been working ha...

779. You know, it's like I've failed at everything I've tried,

780. but it's not like the effort's not there,

781. you know what I'm saying?

782. Yeah, man. Richard?

783. 15 days now together,

784. inevitable that certain alliances, even within a group,

785. smaller factions begin to develop.

786. Have you guys reached a point now

787. where you have this tight unit

788. that these alliances are going to come in to play in the vote?

789. The alliances that you talk about, the Rudy and I

790. and the Sean and Dirk kind of hanging,

791. and the Sue and Kelly together, are almost kind of little teams

792. within a team doing things

793. 'cause it usually takes a couple of people to do things.

794. I think a bigger alliance is what all six of us have created

795. so I don't think that the smaller ones detract

796. from how we feel about the six of...

797. all of us together.

798. It's time to vote.

799. Dirk.

800. I love you, but I just can't stand the complaining.

801. For the first time, I'm voting for Rudy,

802. only because this is

803. probably an athletic competition coming up

804. that we're going to have to win

805. and that's the only reason I would cast a vote against him.

806. He's a phenomenal person.

807. Fire represents life on the island.

808. Your torches represent your identity here.

809. Directly across from you are

810. four torches that represent the first four people

811. that have been voted off the island.

812. Tonight, a fifth torch will be added to that group.

813. I'll go tally the votes.

814. Before I read the votes, I just want to remind you

815. once they're tallied, the decision is final

816. and the person must leave the island immediately.

817. I'll read the votes.

818. First vote...

819. "Dirk."

820. "Sue."

821. "Rudy."

822. "Dirk."

823. That's two votes for Dirk.

824. "Dirk."

825. That's three votes.

826. We don't need to read the last one.

827. The tribe has spoken.

828. It's time for you to go.

829. All right.

830. Good-bye. Guys, good luck.

831. You can take your torches and head back to camp.

832. Good night.

833. Next week, on Survivor—

834. at Tagi,

835. Rich goes native.

836. Who cares?

837. Over at Pagong,

838. Gervase ruffles some feathers

839. with a sexist remark.

840. Girls are the stupidest thing on the planet next to cows.

841. It's a fact, though.

842. Oh, I beg to differ.

843. So, I told those girls,

844. when they write your name on that piece of paper,

845. and look straight into the lens and go, "moo."

846. Captioning sponsored by CBS and SURVIVOR PRODUCTIONS

847. I guess I want to start by just thanking the Lord

848. just for this unbelievable blessing.

849. I mean, this whole thing has just been one wild trip.

850. He had 15 days planned for me on this island.

851. I believe I kicked it as hard as I could.

852. Completely surprised to be taken out this early

853. and I thank the Lord for that,

854. 'cause I know he's got a plan

855. for me to move on somewhere else.
