"***" "But with their huge lead in numbers and rewards," "*** qalou still had plenty of reason to celebrate." "After i finish this,i'm taking on the whole team by myself." "The only storm they wouldn't weather was shambo." "Escaped chicken." "911." "shambo is just a complete gilligan who messes things up all the time." "On her second visit to the foa foa tribe,it became clear these were shambo's real friends." "I am really,really happy to be over here with foa foa." "Russell,on the other hand,had no friends." "Only targets." "Marisa threatened me,betsy threatened me,each time somebody threatened me,they're going home." " And liz confronted russell." " You're lying to me." "I'm telling you the truth.Are you telling me i'm not honest." "She became next on his hit list." "But after liz's strong effort in another loss," "** russell put his vendetta against her on the back burner in order to jettison the tribe's weakest member,ashley." "It's because of me you're going home." "I'm out here playing for $1 million.Never trust me." "With only five foa foa left,liz needs a miracle to save herself from russell's cruel intentions, assuming they can all survive the conditions." "14 are left." "Whoa will be voted out tonight." "***" " ** - ***" "Gee,okay,he's having a seizure over here." "He's epileptic." "Since day 10,this is day 15 now,we're getting soaked at night." "It's cold." "So it's been pretty bad for the last several nights." "I'll be honest,there was some envy last night when ashley went home." "There was a little tinge o jealousy there.I was like,oh,man,you know." "I really think we have another two days of this,three days." "*****" "**" "I used to watch this cartoon when i was growing up called "captain planet,"" "and there was always that one guy with the ring,heart,and we always made fun of him." "What is heart?" "Everybody else gets a real element and you get heart." "I really wish i had that heart ring right now." "I'm tired,i'm really hungry an i'm sitting here trying to battle what seems to be a battle that fate just doesn't want us to win." " Not bad." " Not bad." "This is the man test." "If it takes seven days and seven nights of rain for one person to quit,i'll take it." "Hell,yeah,i'm having fun." "I'm out in the rain." "This is how i wanted to be." "That sunny days we had for nine days,i was like,man,this is too pretty." "I'd take my family here." "I want to be somewhere where i can't take my family,where it's miserable." "What's wrong,man." "I'm so freaking cold right now." "Silly." "I'm freezing!" "Come oman.You can take this." "It's just a little water." "Man." "This isn't even right." "They're going to be soak wet whether it stops raining or not stops raining." "Tonight they're going to be wet,so this is really no big deal." "As a matter of fact,this makes me stronger." "survivor Season19Episode06" "***" "**" " A what is it." " A tarp." "It's raining.People are miserable." "Spirits are down." "And a be aleafated had russell gotten us the tarp." "But it's just the way the game goes sometimes." "You know,one person is elected to make decisions for the group." "Sometimes it puts you in a worse position thayou would havef youe decisions for yourself." "***" "Where is he?" "Right there." "Russell was out working on the fire while every single one of us was huddled up trying to stay warm,and he's out there just busting his butt." "For me to see that,it's awesome to see him push himself,but, also,like,it's great that you're out there doing it, but at the same time,no one expects you to do that." "You know,it might have been to a point where it was a bit unnecessary and went a little bit too far." "There's no reason to be sitting out here right now." "I'd rather n the shelter,but sometimes you have to make some deposits in case you need any withdrawals later on." "You know,the chief thing counter-balances to the negative,so just trying to keep the fire burning." "This is fine stock low." "Hopefully i'll be able to sell high later." "**" "Fire looks good though,huh." "I just gotta chill." "Hold on." " Careful,careful,careful!" " Are you okay?" "Just hand me my jacket." "Here you go." "Goodness!" "Oh,that sucked." "That sucked." "Russell's definitely got this,like,stubborn determination to do everything." "But truth is,like,the elements out here,it's going to break you down." "He's just pushing himself too hard and it's going to takingly toll,you know." "I can go back out there.I just gotta get my body temperature back up." "I probably look like some crazy person,but basically,this spot actually is a pretty good cover." "I can kind of-- with my body heat kind of keep this corner a little bit warm." "The shelter has so many gaps in it,when it rains this hard,it just pours right through." "I can't wear my clothes because they're all soaking wet." "So i'm just doing the best i can at just trying to stay cell warm and out of the rain and..." "Just trying to get through this." "**" "It's wet." "They don't want to get out.Where are they all from,new york city?" "Gotta stay dry." "Can't get my hair wet." "Man,this is crazy." "You never know,man,they might also suck each other's thumbs because they're just a bunch of babies." "***" "Th 'reive up.They start walking,"i'm too tired." "" don't stop until you throw up,pass out,something." "If you don't throw up after every challenge you didn't do your job." "That's how i think of it." "Now,i was freezing last night,wet,cold." "It's time to do something about it today,but they don't want to." "They want to sit there and suck on their thumbs." "So i don't know how to help them." "I don't think it's going to s" "I had been in my hole for,you know,almost 26 straight hours of rain, and i was laying in the hole and i was,like,okay." "I give in." "We give in." "We understand your greatness.We understand your power." "And if you are kind to us,i promise we will speak of your mercy." "Less than 12 hours later i wake up in my hole and not only are there blue skies but the most beautiful rainbow you have ever seen." "It's as ifsamoa said that's what i wanted toear,erik." "Just know that i am thennd you're not." "Enjoy yourself for the next 24 days." "I'm so happy." " That's a nice sign,isn't it?" " A real nice sign." "***" "A rainbow." "That is really,really nice to wake up to." "I mean,getting a ray of sunshine today was like-- you talk about lifting spirits,you know,winning challenges and rewards." "Nothing beat this morning." "Look at that!" "I feel like we just got off of noah's arc." "There actually is a sky out there other than just clouds." "Can you believe it?" "Look!" "There's blue sky out there!" "I think going through a storm like this, i think it definitely brings the tribe together because we weathered it all together." "Now that we're out,we know we've got a task at hand,and we're stronger than ever." "I mean,we really are." "Come on in,guys!" "Galu getting your first look at the new foa foa tribe." "Ashley voted out at th last tribal council." "Lawyer all right,you guys ready to get to today's challenge?" "Yes." "For today's challenge,one person from each tribe will be strapped into a large sphere." "That person will then guide two blindfolded tribemates as they push the sphere through a long course to a table maze." "The person inside the sphere will then guide the rest of their blindfolded tribemates as they o navigate a ball through a table maze to the finish hole." "First tribe to get it right wins reward." " Want to know what you're playing" " Yes!" "Pizza!" "Hot,piping pizza." "You guys have been enduring a rot a lot of rain." "A nice,hot piecey will go down really good,right?" " **" " There's one twist-- win or lose,both tribes going to tribal council." "Both tribes will vote somebody out tonight." "You'll enjoy the pizza tonight when the winning tribe sits in" " on the losing tribe's tribal council." " Oh,yeah,yeah." "So not only will you see what is going on in the tribe,you will do it by enjoying pizza in front of them." "All right,galu,you have four extra members,sitting four people out." "Who's going to sit out this challenge?" "***" " *** - **" "You know,i feel weaker as the days go on,but i'm the leader." "I gotta go forward." "I can't look back." "And i'm playing the game." "Monica." "Kelly,shambo,dave." "All right,you four take a spot on the bench." "Everybody else,give you a minute to strategize." "We'll get started." "For foa foa,navigating in the ball is liz,pushing,russell and jaison." "For galu,it's laura in the ball." "Russell is and erik doing the pushing." "Here we go!" "Survivors ready?" "Go!" "Straight,straight.Go,go,go.Keep going.Keep going." "Galu off to a good start." "Left,left,left." "To your left!" "Good,good,gd.Keep going.They're behind us." "Straight,straight,straight." "Right,go!" "Foa foa pushing their ball right into erik." "They're on top of erik." "Foa foa trying to sneak out the right." "Liz does it.Foa foa now in the lead." "To your right,to your right." "To your right." "Foa foa now off course." "Galu now back in the lead." " Forward,forward,forward!" " Laura has russell and erik doing a great job." "Forward,forward,forward." "Galu right into the tree." "Foa foa now trying to go around them again." "Now forward." "Side by side." "Go,straight ahead." "Straight ahead." "Foa foa now not lea lead." "Russell,push!" "Under the side,russell!" " This way?" " Russell,no,no,erik,stop." "Hold on,hold on." "One short turn." "Perfect,now bring it home.We're almost there." "Foa foa very close." "Galu stuck." "We can't hear you!" "Russell,go,go,push,push." "Russell is exhausted." "Russell,push." "One more." " Okay,now-- foa foa." "You're good.Now you have to orient liz so she can see." "Pull up." "Towards me!" "Russ,push harder." "**" "Okay,now,get into your position." "Liz,happy where she is." "Go,go,go." "Keep going,russ!" "Galu getting very close now." "Galu has their ball in the right spot." "Erik gets crushed in the end." "***" "Laura in a great position." "No extra orientation needed." "Left,left,left,russ,left." "Russ,left." "Hold on." "Russell!" "Russell!" "Laura trying to get russell on the course." "He is exhausted." "Don't fall." "He has no idea where he's at right now." "Lean down.Go to your right." "Grab the handle!" "Jaison,push your hands down." "Straight down." "Foa foa has a bit of a lead on the table maze." "Brett,down." "John,up." "The ball is right in the middle." "Don't move,don't move!" "Stop moving." "Russell,get off the table.Russell,get off the table." "Russell - ." "Russell,you with me?" "Hold up,hold up,hold up.Everybody hold up." "Medical!" "Medi hold where you are." "Everybody hold where you are." "Hold it,hold it,galu." "Hold it right here.Hold right where you are." "Yeah." "I'm good." "He-- he was out." "He was definitely out." "Yeah,i saw that." "Russell,can you sit down for a moment?" "Yeah,yeah,take russell,sit down." "Russell,you can hear come oruss." "**" "Russell,.Russ talk to me." "Daniel,can you get the life pack." "Russell passed out during the challenge." "I mean,i saw him stumbling around,staggering." "And i figured it was because he was blind fold." "I couldn't figure out exactly what was going on." "I should have guessed he passed out." "Russ,talk to me." "Russell,you can hear me?" "I'm good.Let's go." "Let's go." "You passed out for a minute." "You weren't with us for a second." "Just relax and let them do what they're doing." "Everybody,you can take off your blindfolds." "Your blood pressure is really low,russ." "I'm going to have a listen to your heart." "I'm cool." "I was a little winded from pushing the ball but i'm good." "You need to relax just for a little while,okay." "Ramona,what's the update?" "His blood pressure is even lower than mike's was." "If we stood him up now,he'd just black out and collapse again." "Okay,here's what-- here's what's going to happen." "I'm going to make a call right now which is this challenge is over." "Neither tribe wins reward." "Both tribes will go to tribal council tonight." "Both tribes will vote somebody out tonight." "You're going to both head back to camp." "We'll stay here and monitor russell." "If he's able to return to the game,you'll see him at tribal council." "Foa foa,grab your stuff,head on out." "Feel better,russ." "All right,galu,grab your stuff." "Head back to camp." " We'll be waiting for you,russ." " We'll see you back there." " Either way,we'll see you tonight at tribal council." " Hang tough,chief." "If he comes back,i will be shocked." "I'll be happy,but i'll be shocked." "You think russ is okay?" "No." " You don't think he's coming back?" " No." "But i'm not a doctor.I don't know." "Everyone's concerned about russell." "For russell to go down the way he did today,it shows you how tough this game is." "No one has any experience with this level of dehydration." "No one has any experience with the level of malnutrition that we go through, and a guy like russell gives you everything he's got and more every single time, and then he comes back and he's a workhorse,and his body failed him today." "And it's so unfortunate." "Let's make a break for the elter." "I'm so sick of the rain." "Me,too." "Our leader's not here." "That's a big hit to take." "It's kind of surreal.We're kind of not really knowing really what to do." "We're used to rallying and saying,"give us our game plan." "" but you can't let these emotional things distract you too much out of the game." "You have to keep your focus." "We still are playing the game." "We're still thinking about the next person that's going to go." "But i know my heart is really heavy for russell." "I just hope that he's okay." " We'll try and sit him up." " Sounds good." "All right." "I just want you to sit up from where you are." "Just to there.Any head spins there?" "A little light headed." "A little light headed.Okay." "Stay exactly like that.I'm going to take your blood pressure again straight away and see what change we got." "Russ,are you okay?" "Russ?" "Are you with us.Lie down.Russell.Russ." "Talk to me." "Russ,talk to me." "Russell,russell." "Wa up,e.Wake up." "Do you remember what just happened?" "His heart rate was 97 when we sat him up and now it's 68.a." " It dropped." " It drop really." "***" "Just so you're clear on what's happening is we're going to have to pull you out of the game." "There's no question to all of us watching,brother,that are you not okay." "Come ocome ." "Russell,we've hung in there as long as we can.Are you not doing well." "I just watched your heart rate plummet." "My family depends on me to be the strong one." " Is this how you want this to end?" " No,no." "It's frustrating to be pulled out of a game you wanted to be a part of for so long." "You were in great shape." "You were the leader of a tribe that was dominating." "There was no sign you were going home any time soon." "You pushed and pushed and pushed your body until your body said enough." "There's nothing about that,that is a quitter.Nothing." "But i'm just dehydrated.I'm not-- but you're not recovering fast enough." "You need help,and if you don't,you're going to be worse." "Russell,i watcheddure black out in front of me two times." "There's no way you could have stayed in this game." "I'm going to leave you alone and stop talking." "I feel bittersweet because we were close to winning, and then big russell had his medical accident." "but when jeff said that we still had to go to tribal council,regardless of who won the challenge, it was surprisi surprising,and,you know,a little upsetting because none of us want to go back there." "We were just there." "**" "I'm packing my bag." "I'm for sure packing mine." "I have a fair sense of what's going on.There's five ofs." "We're,again,one big pam family." "Natalie and i we looked at each other and say it's going to be one of us." "It  it will be." "At this point we need to continue to win and it doesn't make sense to vote out one of the guys." "My gut is i'll stick around because i'm stronger." "***" "Your vote is very simple tonight." "What is it?" " It's liz." " Okay." "She and i talked about it." "And i'm-- i'm trying my best right now." "Because you know you and liz are the two names,of course,." "For sure.We knew that." "So-- because i'm putting liz." "You're pitting liz." "I know i can talk mick into putting liz no matter what." "We already talked." "We know it's pretty simple." "I'm voting for her,and she's voting for me." "**" "How what?" "**" "I'd like to stay if it's possible." "***" "**" "**" "Every time that we come close to something good,it kind of gets taken away." "So winning today would have been our revenge,you know." "They would have had to watch us eat and,you know,understand how it felt." "And we were winning." "I think what's the most disheartening is not necessary let's losses but the random things that keep happening every time you think you have something good to go bad." "And,you know,i really hope russell's okay." "That,clearly,is the primary concern." "I agree with the decision to cancel the challenge and all that stuff." "It just-- it just kind of sucks when you finally feel like you're getting in a groove and going someplace,it's like,no,sorry." "Do you think we would have won that?" "I think w we were winning bya lot." "I'm just wondering with all the stars seeming to be aligned against us, how many of us have a shot at getting real far." "This tribe could be done by day 21 the way we're going." "I thi it can be done." "I think it can be done." "We'll have people flip over there." "I have a feeling that shambo's going to be gunning for me,and so i want to be sure that you have my back shh!" "Don't talk!" "They're all over,and they're probably up here." "Yeah." "If we were going to tribal council right now shambo is going,100%." "Here's a medium." "From day one,she's never really jelled with the tribe,and she's been over to the other tribe." "None of us have." "So when we merge she could very easily flop sides." "What's the skinny,baby?" "About voting somebody off tonight." "I don't know,honestly,who should go home." "I don't know.I didn't-- like,i don't,i've gone to a separate tribal." "Ever?" "I thought we would go to the merge first." "I'm asking you byes to not write my name down." "I started the fire the first day we were here." "Chief and i collected the 100% of the firewood the first eight days we were here." "I have been a good competitor,honest competitor,fair competitor." "I have not lied to anyone in this game." "That's all right.My name has gotten written down twice." "The only person who wrote it down last tribal was you." "So you're writing my name down?" "I don't know who you i am going to be writing down." "Who made fire the first eight days?" "Who kept you warm and dry and safe?" "Who didn't write my name down?" "Everyone else in the tribe except you." "The number one reason for voting off shambo for me is the fact she wrote my name down last time." "And you have to take your enemy out the minute you can,and right now seems like an opportune moment." "As far as the weak girls go,who is the weakest girl?" " Monica." " Totally!" "Right?" "Yeah." "And i'm sorry,as much as people like to talk shambo, we would not have won the firring gear and that first immunity and started the whole ball rolling without her." "And she poses no threat to anybody." " Exactly." " No threat." "Exactly." "Post-merge he does not have the power,the manipulative power that a monica-laura tag team have." "Voting shambo off doesn't do anything beneficial for any of us." "Monica needs to go for several reasons." "One,monica and laura have this mother-daughter/sister-sister relationship." "Post-merge,that's going to be dangerous." "One of the two of them needs to go." "While we still have a chance to get them." "Laura will be severely weakened without monica." "And monica,i think,is the clear move because monica doesn't help us win cllenges at all." "Is there aet move than that?" "Because i can't think of any." "This is not a bad plan." "So it's me,you,brett,dave makes four." "Either coach or shambo,we hav numbers,game over." "No one flips." "Who else out here hasn't lied but me?" "No one." "Don't vote me off tonight." "Yeah,i know that about you,sham,and i know-- i know that your effort speaks for itself." "Obviously,it doesn't if you're not telling me you're not writing my name down." "Just because i'm not telling you i'm not writing your name down doesn't mean i'm not writing your name down." "Okay." "Shambo is on a very need-to-know base." "Us four guys,dave,brett,and john,we're pretty good about keeping the plan within the four of us." "We're not going to be telling her anything more than what she needs to know." " So where are we at tonight?" " What are your thoughts?" "Erik,if you were shambo,who would you vote for tonight?" "Not me." "Not you." "If i was shambo,i would probably stay consistent." " Who?" " Consistent." "I'd stay consistent." "Meaning who you voted for last time is probably your best bet?" "You would stay consistent." "What if you were john?" "Uhm,i would facility leader." "As in shambo's the leader." "Really?" "And if you were erik,who would you vote for?" "I'd vote for monica." "Really?" "Who are you voting for shambo?" "Do you get what this is about?" "Yes,i do." "We're down with it,and that's a wrap." " Okay,that's cool." " Sham,you have to lock it up." "No worries." "If that's what you want that's what you've got." "Well,this is a first." "13 people at tribal council." "All right,let me give everybody an update." "Russell was pulled from the game." "After you guys left,the doctors continued to monitor his blood pressure,blood pressure was steady." "Two,three minutes in,out of nowhere,his heart rate dropped like that." "He plaqued out again,went down on his back." "At that point there was no question he needed to be pulled from the game." "It was the scariest moment i've ever had on this show." "19 seasons,i have never been more afraid in my life of how bad things were." "Russell was in terrible shape." "So the update now is that he is in very good hands,being monitored,doinge." "There was nowad have shbo,what's your reaction t hein he' no longe the game?" "I feel really sad that that's how he went out because you see this guy with this amazing heart and spirit bigger than life." "So,i mean,it's-- it's terribly sad." "Russell,on one hand,it'sak for foa foa." "Yeah,he dwasinitely strongest on their tribe." "But i just don't like the fact that's how he went out." "If i was going to beat him,i don't want to beat him like that." "Dave,what does it say about this game when you're watching not only somebody you're on a tribe with, but just another human being going through this crisis?" "Well,you know,it's definitely an eye opener for me." "You get out here and it's a whole diffenlel that ididpe ." "It's been raining for days.H en't been dry for more than an hour." "It's pretty intense,easily the hardest thing i've ever done and i've done a couple of hard things in my life." "Erik,this has been 15 of the toughest days i've seen any group go through." "I spent 22 hours in the bottom of a tree trunk,and with 22 hours, the inability to sleep,you prayed about anything you could think of." "Are you literally praying?" "I prayed to god.I prayed to samoa." "I prayed to-- i don't know." "I feel like i'm in solitary confinement for a crime i didn't commit, and that was not anything that was advertised." "Shambo,what is it that keeps you from saying,"i'm going to quit?" "" i'm the 45-year-old lady here that-- that will not quit." "And i have been like erik,shivering and praying-- dear,god,this is shannon from renton." ",plse,please let the sun shine." "A.As we sit here it is startin." "Yup." "You know,it's not just the misery that the rain brings,but it's the constant fear, the constant torture that it's not going to stop." "And every minute you're terrified." "Dave,first time we've had everybody here together." "What's the status of the game riow?" ",just based on number s that galu is ahead and i don't know how their spirits are but they haven't had quite the sustenance that we've had, and i know our spirits,in spite of the rain,are pretty high." "Russell,dave thinks galu is winning rit now." "Not so good over here at foa foa?" "Attitude at foa foa is-- is fine." "And i think they're going to be shocked in the next couple of challenges because we can come back." "We can even up them numbers,and then it will be a different story then." "Mick,does today's challenge,even though we didn't finish it,feel like a moral victory for foa foa?" "Yeah,absolutely.I mean,we have to take this as a win." "We feel like at that point we were ahead,and so we'd like to think that it would have played out and we would have won." "Erik,it's got to concern you a little bit." "This group of five believes they won today's challenge." "Well,they had a big win a few challenges ago." "We came back." "And we brought it again." "And now today,they got a tie,and that's supposed to make us nervous about a momentum shift?" "I don't think so." "All right,let's get to the topic of the vote." "Due to the unprecedented nature of today's events in which,for the first time ever, we did not complete a challenge,the will be no tribal council vote tonight." "Nobody going home." "Galu,you're not voting anybody out." "Foa foa,you will not vote anybody out." "I'm seeing a lot of mixed reactions." "Some happy people." "And some jaws that are hitting the floor." "Erik,is this good news?" "We lost a guy today." "So whether we're voting or not voting,we're down already." "So let's stop the bleeding at one." "Russell,you guys would be down to four if you voted someone out tonight." "Yeah,i think it's the best news i heard all day because right now, us five,we're the strongest that we've ever been this whole game." "So now tha they beat us fair and square then we'll send somebody home." "But i believe the tables are going to turn and i'll give 110% that it does so i'm going to go all out." "Erik,with every comment from foa foa about bring it,you're getting more and more forward." "I ended up-- let's do a challenge right n that's what russell would do." "He'd be saying,"are you kidding me?" "There's five of them over there and there are eight of us over here." "" i don't know if there's emotion in me that comes up, but every bead of sweat he put into anything he ever did, we're bringing that to you." "We will bring that every day,every challenge." "We welcome it." "Well,it is clear that the events of today have only intensified the rivalry between these two tribes." "Foa foa believes they've got a morvictory today,and now they can turn this game around." "And galu believing even though we lost russell, his spirit is still with us and we will continue to dominate this game." "We're in store for a great finish." "There is one order of business-- galu you are now without a leader." "Somebody come grab this." "When you get back to camp,assign a new leader." "That concludes things for tonight." "Foa foa,grab your torches head back to camp." "Galu,grab your torches." "Head back to camp.Good night." "Being taken out of the game for medical reasons is the worst thing i've ever felt in my life." "One,two,three,lift." "Plavery minute to win this game." "And toave my me is rly demoralizing." "But even though it pains me to not be in it,to do it and fail is better than to never try. survivor Season19Episode06" "Next time on "survivor":" "at galu,the guys make shambo one of their own." "***" "Only trinallic drawback is shambo is so dim that she could screw up our plan expncht a russell seed gets planted in the other tribe." "What i have to do now is work my houdini magic." "What are we going to do,go to the final two,of two of us?" "Final two." "I'm really ashamed that,you know,i'm not in the game any more, and i'm angry because i'm a fighter." "But at the same time,i have to be realistic because i have to get well because i have an even bigger job to do, one that i love,one they cherish every day." "That's being a husband to my wife and a father to my"
