Survivor (2000) s01e09 Episode Script

Old And New Bonds

JEFF PROBST: 16 Americans marooned for 39 days in the middle of the South China Sea.
Separated into two tribes, Tagi and Pagong, they competed against each other to remain on the island, but now the tribes have merged into one.
Rattana is the name, and it is everyone for themselves.
Every third night, the entire tribe 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, one will remain and will leave the island with $1 million in cash.
Last week on Survivor: Yeah, bait's gone.
JEFF: Food was scarce, rice was being rationed So a can's only going to last us two days? They're eating that much.
JEFF: And Rich was still the only one providing fish.
Rich is playing a big game.
JEFF: And so is Greg-- he cut play-kitten Colleen loose.
GREG: You look right in the kitten's eye and snap its neck.
It's nothing personal.
You're hungry.
JEFF: And made a move on Rich.
RICHARD: He's trying something.
That's great.
JEFF: The reward challenge brought videos from home Hi, Daddy.
Baby.
JEFF: Except for Jenna.
Oh, don't It would've done wonders to see that my kids are okay.
GERVASE: She's tugging on people's emotions right there and that's a threat for me.
JEFF: And at Tribal Council Is there an alliance? Do I have to answer? No, I'm just kidding.
No, no.
JEFF: Last week, Greg was voted off.
Eight castaways remain.
Who will be voted off tonight? That was my deal-- out of here.
Well, I don't know if they were RICHARD: Outright lying is absolutely essential, especially when you have a host like Jeff, who's as bold as to ask "Well, so Sue, tell me, is there an alliance?" What a question.
You think I'm going to come out and say "Oh, yeah, we got four of us voting up against all you guys.
We're going to knock you all down to the end.
" Come on.
It won't be bad if you get in the water.
COLLEEN: Those people flat out lied in front of a national television audience.
I mean, they want a million bucks and they're going to get it And I loved Jeff's question "Is, uh, a deserving person going to win this money?" The answer to that question is "no.
" How you doing this morning, Kelly? I'm doing.
I didn't really sleep last night.
No.
No? KELLY: This whole alliance thing is getting too stupid and too crazy.
If we stick with it, it's just like lining lambs to the slaughter.
Who goes next? Who goes? like, that's no fun.
I know.
We were targeted already, anyway.
If we keep annoying them like we are, we're going to be gone really soon.
KELLY: Yeah, I don't like it.
I-I'm not happy playing the game that way.
If I'm going to win, if I'm really going to be the last survivor, if I'm really going to survive and really do this, then it has to be on my own.
SEAN: Rich is definitely in this very good strategic position for himself, I think.
He's worked hard.
Well, not that hard.
Just happens to be good at spearfishing.
He doesn't do much else.
He sure don't do a damn thing around here except fish.
SEAN: But he's a good sport.
I mean, we call him all kinds of names and make fun of him.
I sort of liked him before I knew he was queer.
Lost a prong to a good, five-foot nurse shark.
I got to take them by hand from now on, like Tarzan-style-- wrestle them.
He's in an ideal position, 'cause I think he's the epicenter of the power right now.
He's bringing in the fish.
Oh, my God.
There's got to be 25 pounds or 20 pounds of fish here.
It's all about the fish, man.
The fish don't influence me, though.
No? Not in the least.
You can take the heavy-duty equipment and I'll putz.
Okay.
'Cause I fed you today.
Yeah.
SEAN: I love Rich, I really do.
He's been a great asset to this camp, but he is a little immature in his motives at times.
You'll be so damn full of protein after this meal, you won't know what to do with yourself.
This is funny.
I am This man the master.
He's very protective about spearing fish and he brings it up at every island council: "I'm catching fish.
Don't vote me off.
" It's an insecurity aspect to him.
The last island Tribal Council when I was talking about, um "I'll be staying around here because I'm providing fish" was an outright blatant lie.
I'm staying around here 'cause I'm bright.
It has nothing to do with catching fish.
That is a lot of fish.
RICHARD: Catching fish makes people happy, but that's not why they're voting me here.
They're not voting me off because I'm not letting them.
SUSAN: Tell me if I'm doing it like cutting too much meat.
RICHARD: No, you're doing pretty well.
Got it.
Now rip it out.
I'm sorry, I can't You want to do one? COLLEEN: Do you see them bringing these stingrays and stuff in? They're, like, still flapping around and they take this dull knife, and chop off their head.
It's disgusting.
( loud slapping ) If I choose to watch my dinner that came from the sea be killed or not be killed, I would rather not watch it be killed.
JENNA: Rich, you're the man.
You are the reef master.
Yeah, there's some water over here.
JENNA: Oh, I'm so looking forward to this now.
I wouldn't even eat fish sticks.
SUSAN: I'm just hungry.
I could care less about that.
When Rich came in with a fish, I said to Rudy, "I should go and stoke that fire up.
" And Rudy's, like, "Oh, no, no, no, that's good enough.
It's hot enough," and it wasn't hot enough.
RICHARD: Well, I would say it's done, Rudy, and black.
It curls up into little balls.
I know.
SUSAN: The fish is tough to cook because they cooked a little bit and then they cooled off and they had to start the fire back up and cook the fish again, so Rich is sort of irritated.
( rhythmic tapping ) RICHARD: Rudy's clueless when it comes to fish, and, um, you know, really ruined it.
You ready? Yep.
RICHARD: Nobody knew what to do with cooking the fish and so it sits here and it sits half on the heat, and it sits over there and it gets turned over halfway and it doesn't, and so it's half-cooked and overcooked and undercooked and half of the fish, half of the three rays were wasted and that infuriates me.
It's overdone.
It's charcoal.
Its wings are curled up.
It's very, very easy to put a fire together that's nice and hot.
Just 'cause I see how to do that doesn't mean anybody else should know how, so I was sitting there, just pissed off, really frustrated.
I don't want anybody around I don't want anybody near me when I'm frustrated, and people are sitting there, "What's wrong?" and that just makes it worse.
GERVASE: Don't be hard on yourself.
Huh? Just take it easy-- let us be hard on you.
Okay.
Go for it, dude.
GERVASE: Don't you know how a fire works, man? RICHARD: Uh-huh, I do and I'm not really patient about teaching anybody, so I'm just going to do it myself from now on.
I probably won't get fish actually for a little while now, anyway, because they need to appreciate it.
I'm bringing in too many right now.
I brought in a bunch yesterday and a bunch today and so we need to take a break and let them kind of hunger for it again.
COLLEEN: So many times Rich opens his mouth, and I just want to be, like, "Oh, be quiet over there in the corner.
"You're not making any sense, and you think you're so smart "and you're just go home, and go get your liposuction and go catch more fish, 'cause you're bugging me.
" You know, he thinks he's so above everybody and is full of baloney, really.
RICHARD: Pathetic, burnt, overdone wasteful again.
Amazes me.
KELLY: The hardest part now is ( sighs ) the food.
We're hungry and Rich is the only one that can fish.
You got to go out an hour before it gets dark and then, right at when it was getting dark, we started getting our bites and then, after it got dark, we didn't get no more bites.
We've gone fishing in the morning.
We've gone in the afternoon at night.
We're not catching any fish.
SUSAN: I'm getting to the point if there ain't no crabs out there in a day or two, I ain't gonna to do it no more.
It bothers me that I can't get my own food, that I have to rely on someone else.
Ooh, big fish.
Oh, wow! We got a fish, you guys, right? It's a fish, for sure.
Whoo! That's so awesome.
Look at that thing.
He's pretty big.
Fish! Bloop.
SUSAN: Good proof that we can get the fish.
We caught a fish today, finally-- yes!-- and it feels so good.
I feel so accomplished now.
JENNA: I think, uh, it disappointed Rich that us girls kept these crab traps going and that we caught a fish.
That's good.
He's going to make a big point "Oh, that ain't a lot to feed you," but it's a point that we did catch it.
So, I don't give a ( blip ) about how he's going to see it.
We caught it; I feel accomplished.
We've done it all now.
We got a fish, man, a edible fish.
I ain't kidding you.
RUDY: Big one? SUSAN: Yeah, pretty nice size.
RUDY: Is he kicking? Yeah, he's still alive.
Yeah, he's still alive.
Yeah, that's a good one.
I know it.
SUSAN: But, yeah, he's going to be I think it might bother him.
In a way, I hope it does.
I hope it bugs him, 'cause now he can't say that no more, you know? 'Cause us girls caught this one.
( buzzing ) Oh, wow.
I love getting mail and there was a log hanging above our mailbox.
It looked an awful lot like part of the tree, but when I took it down, there was a sign on there a little a nursery rhyme, it says: "If you can make like a monkey, "then you'll be home free, "if you want barbecue for lunch, then go climb a tree.
" Somebody's eating a barbecue.
That sounds like fun.
Shish kebob! SEAN: I'm sure the game is anything but simple, just, like, just pick a rope and run.
Hey, look who it is! Hey, Jeff.
Well, here's the deal.
I thought today, we'd switch it up a little and show you the carrot, the reward, before the challenge so you guys know exactly what it is Listen to your stomach.
You're going for.
Are you smelling this? This is today's reward.
Oh, man! JEFF: Some good, old-fashioned, American barbecue.
We got it all.
All this stuff, here Look at that, a lot of meat.
Steak and a hot dog.
JEFF: Some kebobs.
We got your buns your chips.
A little something to remind you of home.
And since we're talking about home Why not? Love letters from home.
Jenna, yours on top.
Oh, I got one! I'm so excited.
JEFF: One of you guys gets a great barbecue, you get to read your letter from home, and does it get any better than that? Sound good? GERVASE: I was shaking when I saw the food.
I started shaking because I'm, like, "That's real chicken.
" Now think about that and then think about rice.
I'm thinking, how am I going to get my grubby little hands on some of them burgers.
I'm prepared to eat rice tonight ( chuckles ) like every night.
I want the letter from home more because I can go back and get rice, but I haven't seen or heard anything from my kids.
That's it, I'm going big, going for all of it.
No offense, Jeff, but if I win, you're going hungry, bud, 'cause I'm not sharing.
Then, let's go do this thing and come back and eat.
Man, oh, man.
I want this stuff.
JEFF: Here's the deal: basically, it's a ropes course.
There are 16 legs.
On each one of them is a medallion with your number.
You guys have all been preassigned a number.
Pretty simple-- you got to get through all of them, grab a medallion from each one.
First person back here on this platform with all 16 of their medallions gets the barbecue.
If you fall off the course, you're out.
Sound good? Everybody get ready.
You got an eye on where you're going? Get up here on the ring, Sean buddy.
Yeah.
Survivors, ready?! Go! Aah! ( laughing ) You got time, Rich.
Five, five, five.
JEFF: Good job, Rich.
Your first medallion.
Keep it up, Colleen.
You're in second place.
Okay, so I love being tall.
JEFF: Try to keep mental notes of where you've been and where you've still got to go.
Careful, Jenna.
Keep it up, Sean.
12 more to go.
Doing great, Rudy-- fifth place.
Come on, I got to go under you.
Ready? Ready? All right? Yep.
JEFF: Good work together, guys, on the ladder.
Keep at it, Rudy.
You're still in the lead, Kelly.
Oh, no.
Done! You got to get back here to the platform.
Okay, is anybody else finished? Oh, that's me! Colleen or Kelly-- first one back here wins.
( squeals ) Colleen.
Yeah! JEFF: Nice job.
( all talking excitedly ) That was awesome! Yeah! Colleen, right here.
Good job, Colleen.
We've got this great barbecue-- it looked pretty good a lot of food-- we've got a great letter from home.
How about inviting Everybody! Not quite.
Don't even make me pick one.
JEFF: I do want you to pick one person to come with us Make it a party.
Do they get the letter, too? JEFF: This person will get their letter and this person will also get all the food.
( clicking tongue ) ( chuckling ) Jenna is going to hear from her kids.
Good work.
That wasn't a tough decision, was it? She didn't get a video.
Thank you so much.
JEFF: Very nice gesture.
So, you guys can, um, sadly head back to camp and we're going to head down to the beach and have a barbecue.
Enjoy it, guys.
I'll see you guys tomorrow.
Okay.
( laughing ) Listen to what Sean says today What did he say? He goes, "Well" 'cause they voted four against Dirk when he wasn't there.
Then they voted four against Gretchen and then it's, like, they voted six against but obviously, four against Greg, and he's, like, "If it happens one more time, I know" and I was, like, "What are you talking about? It's happened three times.
" I mean, what's going on? But, see, Sean's the Sean's the swing vote, you know what I mean? 'Cause you, me and Gervase could definitely do something.
They're going to pick people off until it gets down to them and then they're going to start eating each other, you know what I mean? But I'm saying, like, why are we sitting back and watching it happen? So, let's do it.
( chuckling ) JEFF: All right, here are your letters.
You read yours first.
Oh, mine's so thick.
I love it.
Go on and read yours.
Oh, my God.
Oh, they're drawings! Oh, my ( laughing and crying ) Oh, my God.
How cute.
Yeah, we have them all over the house.
( sniffles ) My car interior windows are decorated with stickers I can no longer get off.
"I'm proud of you super, wonderful, hooray.
" Yep.
( sniffling ) Happy birthday, Rich.
RICHARD: Thanks, Suzy Q.
SEAN: Rich's birthday is today, and it's his 39th birthday and he celebrated immediately by taking off all of his clothes and celebrating in his birthday suit which you never get used to seeing Richard naked.
( laughs ) RICHARD: I'm 39 today and I had intended for quite a long time to celebrate my birthday naked.
And I'm sure he does love to be naked, and I'm glad for that and I thought I'd be okay with that, but sitting at the fire this morning and he comes just walking up and sits, like, two inches from me naked I wanted to get away.
( laughing ) All the nakedness, I'm just I'm just having a problem with this nakedness.
It felt awkward sitting next to a naked gay man, and if he had, like, something to cover the butt crack area I'd be cool with that.
RUDY: When I go home, my wife asks me about-- "Well, who was with you?" I'll say, "A queer that ran around bare-ass half of the time," for one thing.
( laughing ) COLLEEN: Rich wanted to be naked for his birthday.
Oh, fun.
Show off a little more.
I mean, he was doing it for shock value.
It's goofy.
Who walks around naked 24/7? I think you were doing it for shock value.
RICHARD: For shock value? Is it shock value? I don't know if it's shock value or not.
Colleen was particularly uncomfortable with my nakedness and when she saw me naked, she just made a funny face and put her hands over her face and who knows what that's intended to signal? I said to you, like, "Oh, my God, Rich.
" But if I lived my life based on what made other people uncomfortable, I wouldn't be living my life.
My life.
COLLEEN: I love that Rich gets annoyed with me-- that makes me happy-- and he really has in the past two days and it just makes me want to egg him on more.
Oh, big deal.
Who gives a crap? I'm naked, whoopee.
( laughing ) ( seabirds screeching ) Oh, yes, we have a clue.
"Our next challenge is a battle of wit "Just make sure there's always "a new square to hit, "being immune at the council "is what it's about, "paint yourself in a corner and you'll find yourself out.
" What? ( squeals ) Ooh, we get to play mind games now Not that we're not playing mind games now.
It's crunch time now.
It's getting down to the final wire and I'm amazed that I'm still here and I got 12 days left.
"Our next challenge is a battle of wit" It's not even a strategy.
I'm just really focused now, on winning these challenges.
"Paint yourself in" kind of like twister.
GERVASE: I'm trying to think, "How did I lose yesterday and how can I stop that from happening again today?" 'Cause today is even bigger than the food when it comes down to it.
You know, I'd rather not eat and get that immunity challenge every time.
I know the only way I'm going to stay is to win the challenges, so that's the only thing I'm worried about.
That's the only thing I'm focusing on is winning the challenges.
I think it's a fair system.
I think you're a perfect example.
I'm glad I decided to not go back for the alphabetical order after you won immunity 'cause it gives the contestant an out to avoid my vote.
It adds a new dimension to the game I'll be going alphabetically.
( laughs ) COLLEEN: Sean! SEAN: Yeah? Yeah, did you know that we're going by Zelda now? Zoey.
SEAN: Yeah? Yeah, Zoey and Zelda.
Why? Why do you want that? Uh, alphabetical reasons.
Oh.
I'm going in alphabetical order-- Jenna is next.
It would make me happy if Gervase does not win immunity this time 'cause I had to skip him last time-- you know, I skipped him in the order-- and maybe Jenna will win it and get out of the order.
I know it's nice that if you win immunity, you get skipped and then you never get in the rotation, like Ger.
JENNA: Oh, you're out of the rotation? Ger is out of the rotation.
Oh, so I'm next.
Yeah.
KELLY: Sean's going around telling everybody "Don't be in the alliance.
Don't" um "vote your conscience.
" Meanwhile, he's going around preaching everyone to vote their conscience and he's, like, "Oh, okay, alphabetically.
" SEAN: My votes are going to go alphabetical.
So, today's Jenna.
If I'm going to be the swing vote-- which I don't think I will be-- then I won't vote for her, obviously.
GERVASE: Sean I like Sean.
Sean's a great guy, you know, but about Sean's alphabetical order.
It's like my granddaddy used to say: "If you want to be seen, stand up, "If you want to be heard, speak up, and if you want to be appreciated, shut up.
" I'm just going to stay in alphabetical order.
It's all I can do.
We've tested your physical strength, your swimming ability, your agility, your speed all that.
Today is something a little different.
It's up here, in your head.
This is a game that requires strategy.
It's a lot like chess, a little bit like tic-tac-toe, but unlike chess, where you're taking one person, you've got seven people to think about.
The way the game works is you'll start on a square and you'll simply, one at a time, on my cue move to another square, turning the square over behind you.
As long as you can keep stepping to another square, you're still alive, but when you run out of red squares to step on, you're out.
So now, if you just flip over these squares here, we'll determine the order.
Oh, yeah, baby.
Oh, yes.
Now, in any particular order, step on one of the flower squares.
It does not matter.
These are all even when you begin.
So, Rich, you're up first.
Perfect.
Rudy.
Sean.
Gervase, to you.
Sue.
Colleen.
Kelly.
Jenna.
Sue.
Colleen.
Colleen.
Yeah I'm out! JEFF: Take a step back and flip that one over.
There you go.
Take a seat on the log.
That full meal has got you sated.
All right Kelly.
Jenna-- out on the island by herself.
Kelly.
SUSAN: Just had to get in the center.
Looks like you're out, Kelly.
Just doing my part.
JEFF: Join Colleen over there.
Jenna.
Rich.
I'm out.
Sue, you're out.
All right.
Jenna.
Sean, you foiled my plan.
SEAN: Sorry, baby.
Was that your plan, Sean? No.
Well, yeah, once she got behind me, yeah, yeah.
To block her? Rich.
You need to worry about yourself, Hatch.
No, there's nothing I can do.
I'm whimpering into nowhere-land, here Rudy.
Slowly dying the wise old man is looking good.
Sean.
Oh, no, Sean, no, Sean.
Don't you know you're dead, Sean? You're ruining it.
You got 50 million.
She won't last, Sean.
Rudy will last longer.
He'll have to kill me.
Otherwise, I could have bebopped around.
Sorry.
I'm doing what I think is right.
JEFF: Gervase.
Oh, Sean Bad move, Sean.
You could have gotten Rudy out of there.
No, he couldn't have.
Yes, he could have.
All right, Rich.
Rudy.
Rudy has many more options.
Down there.
He's doing right.
You should've diagonal so Don't listen to her, Rudy.
She's trying to trick you, Rudy.
Shut up.
I am not.
It's those young girls, Rudy, trying to get in your head.
Stay strong, Rudy.
JENNA: Is it my turn? Gervase.
Still alive.
Jenna, you, unfortunately, are not.
You're out.
I figured you are.
Yoo-haw! JEFF: Rich, turn over your last tile-- you're done.
Bye! Rudy, it's down to you three for immunity from tonight's vote.
Go sidewards! Go left, Rudy, go left! GERVASE: No coaching from the side.
No, no, no.
Directly to your left.
GERVASE: To the right, Rudy! Take take No, left, Rudy, because then you have down here Up to the right, Rudy.
She's trying to trick you.
No, no, no, no, buddy.
This one.
Yeah, there you go.
Good job, Rudy.
Gervase.
Ain't gonna work.
You've won, Rudy, if you take that path.
SUSAN: If you go at a diagonal across, you got more squares than him to land on.
JENNA: You've got more squares left.
There you go! SUSAN: There you go.
Yeah, now you're heading up to the beach.
I think it's a foregone conclusion.
( sighs ) Flip that over, Gervase.
JENNA: Good job, Rudy.
SUSAN: There you go.
You got it, Rudy.
Hang tight, buddy.
We're going to be taking that tile from you any minute.
( cheering ) JEFF: Rudy, you win.
Take the honor of flipping the rest of these over for me.
( buzzing ) Tonight's going to be interesting.
Oh, yeah? SUSAN: Really, when they first got here, they were really ambitious.
Now you can see their ambition's kind of, like, filtering a little bit.
If I feel like sitting in a hammock all day, I'm going to sit in a hammock all day.
I'm not going to stop you.
No.
COLLEEN: We had fun, you know? We had-- Pagong was a good, was a good place to live.
Now we moved into the new neighborhood with the nasty neighbors.
( grunting ) SUSAN: I want to go over in my house for awhile and bitch.
COLLEEN: Then we came in here like, "Maybe we can all be friends" and they came in, like, "We can smash 'em.
" Yes, they did.
COLLEEN: The people who came in swinging were Rich and Sue.
They knew.
They're smart.
They're very smart people Although Rich is just a numskull.
God! RICHARD: All you 16, 15 weirdoes are making me nutty.
I'm losing my mind.
COLLEEN: People are wishy-washy.
They're conniving and they're stupid, and that's what's happening, and it's all out in the open for everybody to see.
The decision that I feel I'm left with is do I interact with these people, have fun and just wait till my ticket comes up or do I try and strategize and try and make a difference? It's so sad now.
You know, we just wait, you know? Unless we think of something.
( whistling ) Yesterday, at the dinner, we had a whole conversation about forming a new alliance.
Yeah, shh We're going to vote the same and we figure that this puts us in jeopardy for the next one, but we were in jeopardy anyway, so GERVASE: Well, we tried the "be nice, honor" way.
It didn't work, so don't be stupid anymore.
It's just, we're smarter now.
We saw that that way didn't work, so we got to switch gears.
COLLEEN: What if I just had this as a skirt? Oh, that's killer! GERVASE: I don't think models even wear skirts that short.
JENNA: Go for it, Colleen! Wear it! Not doing that, Sue? Jenna and I were just, you know, goofing off and, uh, Kelly decided to join in.
I feel bad for Kelly because she wants to play.
And Rich is, like, "Something's happened to you "since these girls came.
I'm really worried about you," kind of putting her in her place and makes her feel a little self-conscious.
By her being nervous and wishy-washy about where her loyalties lie, it's really making Sue and Rich nervous.
You're young.
You hung out with the chicks.
There's more Pagong members than Tagi members and the Pagong members Pagong members don't like any of us.
They like you a lot better than any of us.
Kelly's acting a little odd.
She's dressing like the other two that are her age, and I'm hoping that Kelly hasn't, uh, shifted trust and-and joined forces with somebody else.
All them girls are dressed the same today.
SEAN: Yeah, they're dressing like, uh, superheroes.
RUDY: Like who? Superheroes.
They were dancing around here a little while ago.
It looked like the third grade.
I thought about a female alliance and watching them, the way they walk around, hand in hand.
I even thought about lesbianism, but, uh, maybe not.
I don't know.
And, uh, it could happen if they had any brains, but I don't think they got enough brains to do that.
I move objects with my mind, but only I can see it.
KELLY: I probably will have the swing vote tonight.
I'd said before, you know, alliance or no alliance, there's two people that I have in mind to vote off and they're two people that, um, are-are competition, but, um, they annoy me and ( chuckling ) they're kind of sucky to live with.
Let's roll, Gervase.
Get out of here.
COLLEEN: I really don't know what's going to happen at Tribal Council tonight.
I know I'm voting for Rich.
I know Jenna's voting for Rich.
I know Gervase is voting for Rich.
GERVASE: As long as he's catching fish, people are gonna try to keep him around, so I say, get rid of Rich and we all starve together.
JENNA: The rest of my alliance, if that's what you want to call it? Yeah, we're all voting for Rich.
He's ruthless and the fact that we're voting him out on his birthday-- it's not lost on me.
We're giving him a birthday present.
Okay, let's do this, Brutus! Gotta go.
JEFF: Today's immunity challenge saw wisdom and strategy outplay youth and strength.
Tonight it's Rudy who's safe from the vote as the others contemplate their fate.
But this is not the only vote on their mind.
Beginning tonight with Greg, all members voted off the island will return to subsequent Tribal Councils as part of a jury.
They will gather information for a very important decision, because, ultimately, these seven will decide who, of the final two survivors, leaves the island with the million-dollar prize.
( gong clanging ) You're back.
Tribal Council number nine.
27 days you guys have been here.
At the last Tribal Council, we established our core group of nine, so from that two of you will make it to the final vote.
The other seven will form a jury that will really decide that final vote.
Now, in order to make an informed decision, the jury needs information.
So, beginning tonight, Greg will be joining us here as part of the jury.
He's merely here to observe, gather information that he'll base his decision on and at each tribal council, when somebody else is voted off, they will return to join Greg.
Happy birthday to you, Mr.
Hatch.
Thanks, Jeff.
Something we talked about today.
You were going to spend the day in your birthday suit.
That was part of your original idea, anyway.
Yep.
A couple of people voiced concern that, uh, "Maybe I don't like this.
" Well, I just enjoy being nude.
I'm on a deserted island in the middle of the South China Sea.
I thought, what better place? What better place than to just hang out nude? But it did make a couple of people uncomfortable so I thought, "Why bother?" Sean.
I got to ask you about the alphabet thing.
The alphabet.
Give me the rationale so I'm absolutely clear on it.
The rationale is manyfold.
First of all, it gives me an order that I can follow pretty easily-- that's always nice.
And it is strategic.
If you look at the order, the actual alphabet, a lot of the Pagong people in the beginning, a lot of Tagi people in the end.
This tortures me.
Every three days.
I hate it.
Jenna, what's your take on that? I'm next.
I'm today.
That's true.
Yes.
I'm "J.
" That's, that's cool.
She knows she wouldn't take it personally and I think she's a safe vote tonight.
If I was felt she was in jeopardy, I would think twice at the very least of casting a vote.
Sue, what's your take on that as somebody who might come up soon in the alphabet and get a vote against you even if Sean thinks you're the greatest person here? Oh, Sean just he's neurotic.
He's just, he's an idiot.
SEAN: Thanks a lot, Sue.
Thank you very much.
It's like wow, okay, so I'm next, you know? That's the way he votes, that's the way he votes.
I I just think he just I don't know, that or he doesn't have enough balls to make a decision.
I don't have a malicious bone in my body and I think that casting a vote, it makes me feel malicious.
I want to avoid it.
Yeah, but you came into this knowing knowing you were going to have to do this.
Me, I've changed my vote like, three times within the last two hours.
And now it's me, right? ( laughing ) No.
No.
How important is Richard right now? He seems to be the only guy-- at least of who's left-- that's able to catch fish.
No.
We did today.
Trapped it.
We nailed a fish today in the trap.
We have a bream.
They got a fish.
SUSAN: We got a fish today.
A nice-sized fish.
I'm outta here.
We gave it to Richard for his birthday.
All right, it's time to vote.
Gervase.
My vote's for Rich because the longer Rich is on this island, the bigger of a threat he becomes to me taking that million dollars, so I figure if I get rid of him now, everybody else will be cake, so, happy birthday, Rich.
Eliminating a big mouth.
Continuing my alphabetic strategy, Jenna, you know I love you, no offense to this.
I hope you don't get voted off.
I don't think you might have one vote or two votes or something like that but nothing major, I don't think.
I hope.
Fish or not, I think he's getting near the point, he's ready to go home.
Even though it is his birthday.
JEFF: As always, your identity at Tribal Council is noted by your fire, your torch.
Directly across from you are the eight torches of the first eight people voted off.
Tonight, another torch will be added to that group and that person will join Greg next week as part of our jury.
I'll go tally the votes.
I just want to remind you that once the votes are tallied, the decision is final.
The person will be asked to leave the Tribal Council area immediately.
Now I'll read the votes.
That's three votes for Jenna, three votes for Rich.
The last vote "J" for Jenna.
Jenna, you need to bring your torch over.
Jenna, the tribe has spoken.
It's time for you to go.
Thanks.
Good-bye.
Jenna is now part of the jury.
She'll return next week and join Greg.
The rest of you can head back to camp.
Good night.
Next week on Survivor A cigar! Good news for Gervase.
Hey, everybody, it's a boy! Having left the alliance, will Kelly now vote against them? You're seeming more down.
KELLY: And if I'm going to do something tonight and dirty, let's get Rich off.
Me and Kelly are taking him down.
Well, I had a good time.
It was a great time on the island.
I felt like I was targeted tonight because they knew that Sean would vote for me alphabetically, so they knew they'd get an easy off with me.
They were more powerful because Pagong went into it a little naive, so, that's it.
I had a really good time, and no hard feelings and nothing's taken personally.
