--- JEFF PROBST: Previously on Survivor... Your shoulder's right on my head. JEFF: A close relationship developed at Koror. Jennifer and Gregg have definitely teamed off. I mean, they've got to to think we're stupid if we can't tell that they're together. Whoa, whoa, whoa... JEFF: Ulong got lost in a storm. I'm going back to camp. Why are you going back to camp by yourself? Why can't I? Angie wanted to quit. She's one of those folks that says, "I can't do this." JEFF: At Koror, Willard's work ethic was questioned when he failed to tend to the fire. Willard's been getting a free ride, and he's been able to play this game a lot longer than he should. JEFF: At the challenge... Win or lose, both tribes are going to Tribal Council tonight. The winning tribe will vote somebody out. They will then cross to the jury side, help themselves to some stew and root beer and listen in as the losing tribe has their Tribal Council. Ibrehem down. Ibrehem failed to retrieve a bottle. Come on, Ib! JEFF: Koror wins reward. Get on the raft! JEFF: At Ulong... I can't believe we lost. JEFF: Ibrehem's mistake was hard to overlook. We had it in the bag. Then Ibrehem, we lost because of him. He's history. JEFF: Jubilation turned to paranoia, as Koror faced their first Tribal Council. He's out, right? Yeah. ( indistinct voices ) Don't tell anyone. I won't. JEFF: And Gregg let Coby in on his plan with Jenn. Once Willard and Caryn are gone, it becomes seven people, me, Jenn, you and Janu. Then we start picking them off. I'm very excited. I love that the game is going to a new level. I can't wait. JEFF: At Koror's first Tribal Council... Fifth person voted out of Survivor Palau... Willard was voted out. The tribe has spoken. Koror, go ahead and pull off the cover. Koror then dug into their beef stew reward in front of a dejected Ulong tribe. Oh! It was really close today. We really needed this. It seems like all I've heard today is "Wow, we could have really been eating that beef stew right now," like that's the end of the game, like beef stew is it. JEFF: And with Ibrehem on the chopping block, there was one more surprise. Koror, you are going to vote to give immunity to one person from Ulong. Koror voted and gave immunity to Ibrehem. With a wrench thrown into Ulong's plans, Bobby Jon and Angie each received two votes. We have a tie. Stephenie had first voted for Bobby Jon, but in the tiebreaker she changed her vote, and Angie was voted out. The tribe has spoken. 12 are left. Who will be voted out tonight? ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ That may have been the craziest Tribal Council I've ever been to. From walking in, believing that I was going to be voted off, but then the tide got turned and the other tribe ended up giving me immunity. And, uh, someone else ended up getting voted off instead of me. I think for the next challenge, not only do we need to have great listening skills, because I'm also... Yeah, everybody needs to listen. I mean, like... Keep your ears open and listen to your teammates. Tonight at Tribal Council, Ib got the immunity. So, um, Angie was the one that ended up going. But you know, he knew was gonna get voted off, and he knows he's going next, 'cause I'm not changing my mind. So we'll see what happens. I was pissed at you, really. You wasn't paying attention today. That was your problem. Okay. Okay? You cost us the game because you didn't pay attention. All you had to do was yank on the bottle. Yeah, you're right. You were yanking on the rope. No, ain't none of us perfect. You should have been at least honest and, uh... About what? ...told us that you couldn't dive down deep enough to get the bottle. Didn't I tell you I was honest about it? I told you, if you was listening, I said I dove down I was at two bottles, and I tried to pull the rope. Yeah, all we know is you went down three times, didn't come up with a bottle. Bottom line is, we just need to win now. 'Cause we really can't afford to lose anybody else. I mean for real. And you need to focus, you know. James just kind of put Ibrehem on the spot. I mean... I don't agree with that, you know. I mean, we win as a team and lose as a team. Yeah, he-he missed the bottle, and we didn't win the beef stew. I mean, whatever, you know. You can't get over beef and stew? Please. A lot of times I'm able to get off on my own away by myself and actually do my prayers. I think if things would have just stayed on track at Tribal, I'm pretty sure I-I probably wouldn't be here right now. I don't know. The way things happen, I almost think God had a hand in it. I feel like I'm definitely meant to be here. I think you appreciate things a little more when it's almost taken away from you, so I think I got a whole new grasp on it. Last night was the first Tribal Council, and we had to vote somebody off, which ended up being Willard. And then, we got to eat our stew. Right away, you started, you felt this rush of energy back. And the crew woke up this morning very charged up and refreshed. And it's just another day in paradise today. Idle hands are the devil's plaything, you know. You know what? It's a different day, you know. We all got fed, everyone's got a little energy, and everyone's doing a project. Today is a day just to kind of do something to save ourselves some work down the road. What do you think? That's pretty. That's so cool. Camp Koror had craft day. Well, just Katie; everybody else was working. Didn't help with the fire, didn't go hunt, didn't go do anything. But she made necklaces, God love her. Actually, more of a headband. I feel great, I really do. I thought it'd be harder than this. And it will be, and I'm prepared for that. So I think that if you keep that state of mind, then you can survive. It's pretty. So what do you do after you get the three...? You just start tying them together. I would like to see Katie work a little harder and move a little faster. It appears that she's just here to entertain. She sings, she's cheerful, she makes a lot of jokes. But what is her role here? I don't know. I'm so sad! Boo-hoo! ( shouting ) My name is Angie, and I can smell the stew. ( laughter ) I'm Bobby Jon. I love everyone, and I look like Jesus Christ. ( laughter ) Waaah...! Waaah...! Open the box. Ooh. ( gasps ) Pringle! Tree mail! Tree mail! Guess what it has on it? Guess! It starts with a P! And ends with a "le"! Pringle! Pringle? Pringle? Oh. "Ready, aim, fire. "You'll each get a shot. Yeah! "Make sure it's a good one, you'll be bummed if it's not. "No strength required, a steady hand to compete. See the wonders "of these islands and give your taste buds a treat." ( cheering ) So, it sounds like it's going to be some sort of shooting competition. We don't know whether or not it's bow and arrow, we don't know if it's slingshot, gun. But, yeah, we really want to win this. ( all growling ) JEFF: Come on in, Koror. Koror getting your first look at the new Ulong tribe. Angie voted out at the last Tribal Council. Ready for today's challenge? Yes. JEFF: There are 16 tribe-colored tiles, eight for Koror, eight for Ulong. Using a replica of a 50-caliber small-class cannon, you're going to attempt to knock out your tribe tiles. First tribe to knock out all eight of their tribe tiles wins reward. Want to know what you're playing for? Yeah. JEFF: Well, it started this morning with your tree mail. Pringles is part of your reward. The winning tribe will leave here and you will board a very unique, one-of-a-kind Japanese boat. On board, you'll have Pringles and mai-tais. Oh, my God! JEFF: While you're relaxing, you'll cruise out to a body of water called Jellyfish Lake. It is literally home to millions of jellyfish. You're gonna snorkel with the jellyfish. And the good news is, they can't hurt you. They have lost their necessity and their ability to sting. You've never seen anything like this. You'll be rejuvenated, get some food in your belly, couple of drinks-- could be a whole new game. Worth playing for? Yeah! Yes, sir. JEFF: All right, Koror, you have four extra members-- you're sitting four people out-- who's it gonna be? Katie, Janu, Jenn and me. JEFF: Have a seat on the bench; we'll get started. JEFF: All right, after rock-paper-scissor, Ulong, you won the right to go first. Once you establish your order, keep it. Ready, aim, and whenever you're ready, Bobby Jon. Low. Gregg. Let's go, Gregg. Take a little while to get used to this sight. Almost. JEFF: James. You shoot a lot of guns? Yeah. JEFF: Whenever you're ready. Ooh. Wow! JEFF: Just misses. Coby. Still no score. Go, farm boy. JEFF: Coby could put Koror in the lead. Just misses. Ibrehem. Take your aim. Learn from the people who've gone before you. Low. Tom. ( loud cheering ) JEFF: Tom. The first to hit a tile. Koror leads, one-zip. All right, Steph. JEFF: That's it! Steph drills it! We're tied, one-one. Caryn getting her first shot at the gun. Just misses. Bobby Jon coming back up. Bobby Jon connects for Ulong! Ulong leads two, one. ( indistinct talking ) Gregg could tie it up for Koror. That's how you do it! We're tied up at two-two. James. Ooh. Coby could put Koror in the lead. Just misses. Ibrehem. Yes! Nice! JEFF: Ibrehem connects. Three-two, Ulong leads. Tom had no troubles his first time. Let's see if he can tie it up. Ooh. Just misses. Steph. JEFF: She does! Ulong leads, four-two; they're halfway there. Caryn makes it three for Koror. Yes! JEFF: That's five-three, Ulong. Yeah! JEFF: Gregg keeps Koror in it. James, you are oh-fer. You ain't lyin'! I'm doggin' it today, ain't I? JEFF: Still dry. Still dry. JEFF: Takes his aim... Tom up for Koror. Ulong with a five-four lead. Steph would like to increase that. And she does! Ulong leads, six-four. Ulong with only two tiles left. You're pretty good with that gun. ( inhales sharply ) Yeah! JEFF: Caryn connects! Koror with five. You got it. JEFF: And he connects! Yes! JEFF: Ulong leads seven-five-- they're one tile away from reward. Yes! Yes! JEFF: Gregg connects for Koror! We are at seven-six. Here's where things stand. One tile left. Knock it out, you win. Miss and Koror is still alive. Low and to the right. Koror still in this. Coby, you need to connect to keep you alive. Ulong leads, seven-six. You like this pressure, don't you? Coby does it! We are tied, seven-seven. Ibrehem, if you connect, you will have eight, Koror will get last shot to tie it up. Ooh. Just misses to the right, opens the door for Koror. Tom, because Ulong went first, you guys get last shot. You have one tile left-- that means if you hit it, you win it. Pringles, mai-tais, Jellyfish Lake. For the win. Ooh! Just misses. Steph, you have one tile left-- hit it, you'll have eight tiles, Koror will get last shot. Steph does it again! Ulong with eight tiles; Koror gets their last shot. Pressure is on Caryn. It's very simple, Caryn-- hit your tile, you force a tiebreaker; miss, Ulong wins reward. It's all on you. You got it, Caryn. JEFF: Get your aim. Misses low to the left! Ulong wins reward! ( shouting, cheering ) Pringles and mai-tais! JEFF: Koror, something you haven't experienced much of in 13 days out here: defeat. I got nothing for you. Ulong, I don't know if a tribe has ever needed a reward like you guys. Great shooting, Steph. Pringles, mai-tai, Jellyfish Lake. We won the reward; I freaked out. It was just such a nice feeling to know what it's like to win again. I mean, we've been losing so much, and I hate that feeling. Hello, Pringles and mai-tais... Oh, my God, I see... ( mumbles inaudibly ) I knew that we needed this to boost our spirits and morale, and it... it basically, it was a whole new chapter for us. Look at that. Oh, hell, yeah! ( groans ) Let's have a toast. Oh, I get the pink one, too. Everybody, get you a bottle. Oh, my God. Okay. Look-- Survivor Pringles. Ah. This is cool. It's trivia. Yeah, I know. Yeah. All right, ready? "Which Survivor: Pearl Islands castaway has a daughter named Raya?" Rupert. Rupert. Yes. The Pringles had questions about other Survivor seasons, which that was kind of neat. And we were all kind of, like, reading our questions, answer 'em, eating the Pringles. "Which three Survivor all-stars won cars during the show?" Who was it? Boston Rob and Amber. And? Shii Ann. "Who won more, men or women?" Men. Women. Isn't that amazing? Pretty damn good. We got to have another toast. Think so. Name of this toast is called "From here on out." From here on out... We win. We win. We're buddies. And keep going... going with the tide. Oh, I think we made it. After we climbed to the top of the mountain, we see this lake, and it's just... it's just crystal clear. It's just amazing to know that you're about to go somewhere where all these jellyfish are at, and none of them can sting you 'cause they lost their stinging tentacles, because they're in fresh water, and they've been there for millions of years. Let's do this. You're swimming in the water, and all of a sudden you see, oh, there's a jellyfish, and then five minutes later, you're with millions, and... they're just all just coming at you. It's just... It's kind of like a euphoric type of feeling. And I just kind of wanted to cherish every second, 'cause I was at a place in this world where I won't ever go again. The win for us today was a huge boost of morale. We feel confident now. We feel healthy, we feel strong. And we feel, you know, happy. We feel like a tribe again. ( crackling thunder ) It's so sandy. It's in my eyes, it's in my mouth. Is Tom's sand still up? The sand is still up. The wind is coming directly at it. You a little worried? Yeah. This isn't going to go anywhere, there's no way. I'd like to see 'em try. ( thunder crackling ) ( whooping and laughter ) We had a, uh, a rainstorm that kicked in, but now the wind has picked up to a point. I mean, this-this feels like about a 40-mile-an-hour wind right now. It's really gusting hard. Oh, God! Are you, like, kidding me? ( rumbling thunder ) I don't know what the hell that was, but it wasn't paradise in Palau, that's for sure. Uh-uh. That was. That was absolute torture. Last night was the first night I think that I've ever had where I felt so vulnerable. I just felt very alone and scared. But, I mean, I ended up getting through the night, but it kind of just has lingered on into the day. Hang in there. This is... It's a bad day. I feel the same way. I'm so far away from my family today that I'm down. I feel like crap. I'm just... I don't want to get out of bed either. It's, uh... It's a bad place to be, but let today be a bad day. It's so hard. It is hard. It's very hard. I'm so depleted. You've already passed your worst fear of going home early. You're going to make the merge. I think you're going to be on the jury, and if most of us aren't careful, we're going to be the jury voting on you. I don't have the strength. You do. I don't, I'm telling you. Yeah, you don't have it today, I agree with you. You don't have it today, but you have it. Janu is losing it. She gets totally caught up in her head, and she's like in the cocoon in the hammock. And everything is always dramatic with Janu. So I thought I was the drama queen, but... apparently not. Rice? No. Is it heavy? Yeah. "This flag and box belong to your enemy. "Stop. Your enemy has your flag "and box also. Stop. "You must secure the flag inside this box using only "the ropes provided. Stop. "Make this box impenetrable. Stop. "Bring the secured box to the challenge. Stop." So who knows how...? Tie good knots. Tree mail is a big old chest, flag in it and a bunch of rope. And we have to make it impenetrable. Well, I know a few things about knots. I've got a plan for you. I learned this in the Navy. They're not going to find a knot. You can tug on it all you want. Oh. Cool. All right, James. We're going to let you do the tying, 'cause... I'm not good at tying. James says he was in the Navy. We spent a lot of time tying this one knot that he says like that when you pull on it, that it's just going to get real, real tighter. He took the lead. And he acted like he knew what he was doing, so, you know, I followed. Wait a minute. What the hell? Where's the end? Regulators! I'm pretty sure this is ours the taking, so... we're gonna win. JEFF: All right, first things first. Janu, give it up. Immunity is back up for grabs. All right, today's immunity challenge began this morning with your tree mail. You each received a footlocker and some rope. Inside the footlocker was the opposing tribe's flag. You were instructed to use that rope and make the footlocker as impenetrable as you could. The challenge continues. Now you'll have 20 minutes to swim out, retrieve three bundles of lumber, build a fortress around this footlocker to make it even more difficult to get into. After 20 minutes, we'll stop, switch sides and each tribe will attempt to undo what the other tribe has just done. First tribe to release their flag, secure it to the flag pole and raise it to the top wins immunity. Koror, the four people who sat out the last challenge are in this one-- Jenn, Katie, Janu and Ian. Everybody else take a spot on the bench. Let's go. Here we go, for immunity. Survivors ready? Go! Ulong sending three people out. Koror sending just two. Katie and Janu adding more knots. James getting a game plan for Ulong. Starts with keeping his toga on. Ready? Pull. I got this one. JEFF: Bobby Jon and Steph coming back with the first load. Ibrehem waiting in the middle. I'll pass it to you. Yeah. Tell James to get close to shore. JEFF: Katie and Janu already doing a lot of rope work. The more knots, the more difficult it's going to be to untie. James in no hurry at all. Ulong coming back with all three bundles at once. James gives up on the toga. Jenn back with a load for Koror. You have 20 minutes to get this thing as impenetrable as possible. Need to pick it up. Ulong starting to work on their fortress. Good knot. Make sure it's on the other end, too. JEFF: Steph getting her teeth involved. Ian back with the last load of lumber for Koror. Koror finally getting to work on their fortress. JEFF: Ten minutes down, ten minutes to go. Come on. JEFF: Five minutes left. Five minutes, we will switch sides, and you will have to untie what the other tribe has done. One minute left. Ulong has used every piece of rope they have. Koror still has quite a bit of rope left. Ulong shoving every piece of lumber they can. Koror doing the same thing. Two big disaster piles. Five, four, three, two, one. Everybody stop. All right, on my "go," you will switch sides and start untying. First tribe to get their flag free and up the flag pole wins immunity. Be tigers, guys! Survivors ready? Go! Now we're going to find out who did a better job of securing their footlocker. No time limit here. It is simply the first tribe to finish. Both tribes making good progress. Koror used a lot of wood and a lot of knots. Steph not impressed with Koror's knots. Ulong appears to have a bit of a lead. Ian takes care of the big rope with no trouble. But that's what's in it. Keep doing that. JEFF: Ulong starting to slow down. Koror getting closer. TOM: Good, Koror! There you go! Yeah! JEFF: Koror getting very close. Koror has their footlocker! Come on. ( indistinct shouting ) Now you've got to untie it. Ulong getting closer to releasing their footlocker. You guys need to keep moving. Pull, pull, pull! You're waltzing. Slow and steady. Just maintain that work. JEFF: Both tribes working on their footlocker. This is where all your earlier knot tying is going to pay off. Ulong working together well. Got to get that footlocker open. Koror getting closer and closer. Ulong with a lot of knots to get undone, but they're moving quickly. Yeah! JEFF: Ulong still working strong. You're still in it. Koror getting closer and closer. Ulong not giving up. Immunity at stake. Tribal Council awaits. Somebody going home. Koror literally down to their last few knots. GREGG: There you go! JEFF: Koror has their flag free. Got to get it up the flag pole! GREGG: There we are! JEFF: Koror wins their fifth straight immunity challenge! All right, Ulong. Oh, great job. Nice. Great job. JEFF: Koror, you have yet to lose an immunity challenge. ( whooping ) JEFF: No Tribal Council, nobody going home. Ulong, you have yet to win an immunity challenge. Next Tribal Council, somebody going home. This tribe will be down to three. Head on back. See you at Tribal Council tomorrow night. We ended up losing another immunity challenge. Ulong hasn't won an immunity challenge yet this whole game. When it comes to tonight at Tribal, the only criteria I'm going to go with is whoever I think has done the worst out of all these immunity challenges. So it will most likely be for James. Ibrehem has overstayed his welcome. He was meant to go last time. And by the grace of Allah, he didn't go. Well, my god says he is today. I got two votes the other night at Tribal Council, and I know Angie was one. but I thought Stephenie was the other, but it wasn't Stephenie. I'm thinking it was James, and it was male handwriting. So I'm thinking James threw a dart at me and I'm going to throw one at him. She had to go. We couldn't lose you. I don't like to lie, but this was in the midst of we were deciding who we were gonna vote out tonight, so there's no way in hell I could have told him the truth. So I said, "I swear to God it wasn't me." I... It was a close one. Yeah, it was. I feel really bad lying about it, but if I would have told him the truth, they would have voted me off tonight. He would never be able to trust me. Either way, somebody's going to get their feelings hurt. Yeah. I swear to God, I voted for Angie, though. That's right. So I said to Bobby Jon, "Well, what if it's a tie? "Then what are we gonna do? We're gonna put our butts on the line?" And he assured me that he wanted to make an alliance with me that if I vote for James tonight, he wants to vote Ibrehem out next. Okay. I'll vote for James with you. Right. That's only if you promise if the three of us are still here, you and I will go to the end... We'll go to the end. and we'll vote Ib off. Yeah, we'll do that. 'Cause I think we deserve it the best. Yeah, I know we do. Okay. Well, then, that's what we'll do. At this point in the game, I'm looking in the future, and I don't think I can get to the end with Ibrehem. So, it will definitely be me and Stephenie all the way to the end. If she's playing me, we'll find out, but I don't think she is. I'm between two sides right now. Because I can stick with James and it will be a tie, or go with Bobby Jon and Ib, vote off James, and then persuade Bobby Jon to stick with his word, and next time, Ib will go. I really don't know where I stand right now. JEFF: James? Yo. JEFF: You have not won a single immunity challenge. I tell you what... JEFF: Tell me something. When we hear the word "immunity," I think we subconsciously sabotage ourselves. JEFF: Well, let's talk about that. Do you guys think you gave 100% the last immunity challenge? I mean, I sat there and watched. Oh, yeah... JEFF: Steph and Bobby Jon swam out. Ibrehem took a leisurely stroll to the middle, doing what, I'm still not sure. And you sat back there messing with your skirt for two, three, four minutes. Wow. JEFF: That's when you lost the challenge. Well, that's not what held us up. JEFF: Ibrehem, last Tribal Council it looked like you were this close to being gone. Have you ever thought, these first few days out here, "Maybe I'm just not cut out for this game? Uh, actually, I've never thought like that. Um... It's really opened my eyes to what I can do, rather than what I can't handle. JEFF: James, if you hold the same criteria that you were holding to Ibrehem from last Tribal Council, do you think it's fair to base a vote simply on how you performed in a challenge? No, it's not fair to go ahead and just base my vote directly towards a challenge. It's camp life, personality. Do I get along with this person? Do I have personal feelings for this person? You know. JEFF: Steph, you guys have to be fighting for your own lives at this point. This tribe is almost done. We're almost out of numbers here. But the fact remains, that I want to win at least one immunity. I mean, I don't want to leave here being that tribe that never won immunity. That's like a disgrace. JEFF: Bobby Jon? Yes, sir. JEFF: Do you trust these people in your tribe? If you don't trust 'em, you shouldn't be in a tribe with them. You can't have a tribe if you don't trust people, and I do trust every one of them. JEFF: Steph, do you trust these three guys? I do. JEFF: Somebody here gives you their word, you can go to the bank with it? Absolutely. And, uh, when I get someone's word and I give them my word, I hope that they, you know, take it, and, so, I do trust them. JEFF: You three guys are all from, basically, the same part of the country, right? Pretty much. Alabama. Alabama. JEFF: Steph. A little bit of a concern that if you're looking for some way to divide this tribe, three guys, one girl, all from the same part of the world, and you. That paranoia sets in for me every time we come here. But, um, the fact remains that I've worked my butt off, and I've done the best I could, and I've done really well so far, so I just feel like it's really not my time yet, and I just hope that they see that, too. JEFF: Okay, it is time to vote. Bobby Jon, you're up. ( whispering ): Sorry, Ibrehem, you and I, we just don't get along, we clash. It's time for you to go. Bye. Sorry, brother. ♪ ♪ JEFF: I'll go tally the votes. JEFF: Once the votes are read, the decision is final. The person voted out will be asked to leave the Tribal Council area immediately. I'll read the votes. First vote... James. Ibrehem. One vote James, one vote Ibrehem. James. Two votes James, one vote Ibrehem. I'll read the last vote. Ibrehem. We're tied: two votes Ibrehem, two votes James. Let me remind you how a tiebreaker's going to work. Ibrehem and James, you will not vote. Steph, Bobby Jon, you will vote; you're voting for one of two people, Ibrehem or James. This is your last chance to change your vote. It's time to revote. Bobby Jon, you're up. I'll go tally the votes. Once the votes are read, the decision is final. Person voted out will be asked to leave the Tribal Council area immediately. I'll read the votes. First vote. James. Seventh person voted out of Survivor: Palau... James. ( softly ): I'm sorry. I had to. I understand, y'all. JEFF: James, the tribe has spoken. It's time for you to go. Well, Ulong, this is a first: a tribe of three. Six straight Tribal Councils. Maybe tonight's vote made a difference. If not, we'll be seeing you here real soon. Grab your torches, head back to camp. Good night. Stay tuned for scenes from our next episode. Next time on Survivor... a relationship gets complicated... Their little romance could be a monkey wrench that we don't see coming. JEFF: Bobby Jon scores for Ulong... Yeah, good job. Getting that fish felt like making an extra point, you know, to win the game. ( cheering ) JEFF: ...while Tom makes a slam dunk. How's that for a shot?! It wasn't my time to go. I didn't feel like it, you know? My gut told me nobody's going to vote me off. My gut failed me, and I'm sad and depressed, you know? But I've accomplished things that not many people can say they have, and that makes me proud. I am glad that I got a chance to go on Survivor and see if I had what it takes.
