“HE THOUGHT HE WAS GOING HOME…” But AK Refused to Quit Without a F1ght!

“HE THOUGHT HE WAS GOING HOME…” – But AK Refused to Quit Without a F1ght!

Previously on Australian surv1vor. Cheers. Cheap cheers. After pledging allegiance  to the Vakama 3, Vakama Shaun was holding  all the power. You’re with us, right? Yes, of course. Okay. I sit in the middle of the tribe right now because I’m the swing vote between two alliances. And when David  lost to Brooke in the immunity challenge, You are safe tonight, cannot  be voted out.

Shaun’s vote Okay, cool. was more critical  than ever. Here’s my thoughts with David. You just got to take your sh0t tonight. I have to decide whether I’m going to vote for Dave or if I’m going to vote for Shonee. To make sure she was with them, David brought Shaun in on his idol. You were This is it.

This is the only I will not hesitate to play this because I’m not going home without At a tense tribal council, Shaun made some promises  to us that I am praying come through tonight. Shonee and David both laid it on the line. I think Shaun is like playing an All Star game and uh I hope she makes the right decision. In the end, David hung on to his idol.

Shaun made her choice. Shonee. And Brooke and AK were left out in the cold. Six are left. Who will be going home tonight? Tribal council last night went exactly how I wanted it to. Shone, I knew she was going to put the votes on Shonee, sending Shonee home. Yeah, I never questioned Shone. Shone’s loyal to me. And Shone’s my closest ally.

We’re getting closer to the end. Maybe she’s somebody that I would like to work with up until the top two. I just got to keep her close. It’s going to put me in a very good position to pick off the people I don’t want to be at the end with.    So, we do family selfies whenever we’re somewhere? Pretty sweet Shonee.

I don’t think anyone can understand what it feels like to be out here day in, day out trying to work out if someone’s going to  backst4b you, who you’re voting out. It’s incredibly difficult on every level. And when you can’t turn around and get the support from your partner or a hug from your child, it just is really tough.

Oh, come here, Shone.    When you sit on a beach and this is all you have, you don’t see anyone else except for your tribemates, it’s hard. It’s really difficult to be away from  your family. Well, you’re my best friends. I feel like I’ve been holding it together so well for so long. I’m doing it for them, Dory.

That’s why I’m here. I want to win for them because I want that money to help change our lives. And it will. I want to show the kids that you can do anything you set your mind to. Like I came so close last time. Last night at Tribal Council, I had the choice in blindsiding David, but I didn’t do that. It’s hard to know whether I’ve made the right decision in sending Shonee to the jury because David is a huge player and a threat in this game.

But the fact that David brought me in on the fact that he found another idol and he’s willing to play it for us to get to final two,  it shows me that he is so trustworthy and really solidifying our alliance and I’m ready to get there. To the very end. I want that second  chance at that title.

I can’t let it slip through my fingers again. And I’ll do wh@tever it takes.       Woohoo!

It’s day 43  and I have outlasted 18 All Stars. That just sounds unbelievable.  Is that marshmallow from that coconut? Yeah, that’s for you. Oh, do you want some? You can have it. No, I don’t eat it. To be honest, this game has been a lot harder than my last one. The challenges are harder, uh the social game is harder, but I’m so proud that I’ve made it to the final six.

Did you see Shonee’s initials? Yeah. That’s standing out at the moment. Yeah, there’s a business end now, isn’t there? Yeah. So many people. So many great people. Yeah. Last night’s Tribal Council, Shonee ended up voting with the majority alliance and sent home my bestie, Shonee, and I’m shattered. I’m not even going to bother strategizing socially.

I think I’m not getting anything from her. There’s no way she’s making that. And even if she says she is, I’m not believing it. My alliance has been decimated and I know that my tribemates don’t want me around because they are extremely threatened by my physical abilities. So, I know that I’m next on the chopping block. Brooke’s having a joke.

If I didn’t have immunity last night, that would have been me going to jury, but if I don’t win the next one, I know that I’m gone. So, this is where I have to dig deep. I know I’m physically strong, mentally strong. I need to keep pushing myself  to stay focused and f1ghting. The end of this game is so close.

I need to keep winning and, you know, I’m going to be working my butt off to make sure that I keep on doing that. Tarz is coming back with more stuff. I’m going shopping.    Oh my goodness, Tarzan. What’s that? That’s awesome. Wait, there’s still more. Do you want me to cut one for you? I got a lot of football.

Which one you want? Pick any one you want. This one I’ll tell you, this one’s really beautiful. I see you two beautiful lad1es, I can do a very good price. Are you just having a full piece?  Yeah. Yeah. Why not? Why not? Two Tribal Councils ago, Shaun promised Brooke, Shonee, and I that if we don’t go to rocks, that she will 100% work with us at the next Tribal Council.

She lied to us, and I now find myself in a minority again. How do you feel being like now, this far in? Weird, to be honest. Yeah, like know. I don’t see any clear direction to the end. So, it’s sort of like I just feel like I’m just I’m like that dog in a shelter that’s got like an expiry date, and no one’s coming to pick it up.

I know that Mo’s not working with me. Tarzan’s definitely not working with me. And Dave is the person I want out of this game. That puts me in a tricky position. But we’re not going to give up. surv1vor’s a game that can turn in a minute in a conversation. At some point, the majority alliance are going to have to break, and people are going to form building blocks.

And when that happens, I’m going to find my way back into the game, and turn this game on its head. This Tribal was good last night, yeah? I just feel good about it. I just thought we were playing off each other. That’s all. Can I reclaim being robbed? I know what they want. Bump this up.    Last night’s tribal was amazing.

For me moving forward, I’m in a very comfortable position. I’ve got Tarzan who knows Army’s number one. I’ve got Dave who relies on me. I’ve got Shone, my closest ally. They’re all three are loyal to me. I think the only thing that worries me is Shone and Dave. Shone and Dave’s relationship is too close for my liking. I’m so excited.

I’m so excited. Yeah. Really? She’s someone I could take to the end to go to top two. So, I need to make sure that Shone is closer to me than what she is David. How you going? I think we’re good, like we’re in a solid four. I’m prepared to do wh@tever it takes to make that happen. Anything else we need to check in about? I think we’re all good otherwise.

I’m track. Yeah. Yeah. No no problems. I’m going to let you know if you need to tell me. No, I have nothing else that I can think of at this stage. So, yesterday Dave told Tarzan and I about his idol. And he used it to bring Shone in just to make sure she didn’t flip on him. But, Shone doesn’t  know that me and Tarzan know about Dave’s idol.

And that Dave was using it as a bargaining tool with Shone. He’s been lying to her. I’m going to use that to my advantage. What about Dave’s idol? Dave’s idol, which one? The one I showed you yesterday. Did he tell you that he knew that? No, he didn’t tell me that he knew that.    Okay, well that’s something we need to talk about then.

It just shows her that I know everything. Okay. So, um he gave it to me just before tribal. So, you knew he was going to do that? Yeah. And then he just tells you now about it? Yep. Okay. All right. But he only showed us Rob before he showed you. Okay. All right. I wonder why that is. Because he wanted to make sure that you definitely were on his side last night.

Well, of course I was. I know. I said that to him, but you don’t even have to play it. She’s good. He goes, “I know, but I’m scared.” And I’m like, “She’s good.” surv1vor, even though you’re in an alliance, it’s an individual game. And my ticket to get to the end is playing a game that no one knows I’m even playing.

And people have no idea who’s pulling the strings. You just keep getting close to me. Yeah. And all right. And I’ll keep working on her. Yeah. I know everything that’s happening. I’m watching everyone who they’re talking to. I’m putting the pieces in place so that Shonee will lie to me to the end. Just making sure everyone is where I want them to be.

On my side. And now my next part of my plan to take them to old Vakama’s Brooke and AK. AK is a very big game player. Probably one of the most switched on people here. Brooke is a challenge be4st and probably the best social player out here. But now it’s time to take them out. I’m going to have that first. Aw.

That’s really hard to do. Thank you. Oh, what do we do? We win immunity and we find out Simple. Simple. Easy. How did you go? So nice.  Did you feel better? I feel so much better. I think you’re mad running, but at the same token you’re capable of doing it. I just needed to clear my head, I think. Yeah. Good way to do it.

Such a runner. Does anyone want some before I Yeah, you have it all. You want some before I start sipping? You need it. Get it in you. Thank you. Today’s immunity challenge is do or d1e for this alliance. Brooke is an absolute challenge be4st. If Brooke continues to win all these individual immunity challenges, she will definitely sit at the end of this game.

He really grazed his back up, didn’t he? Clean did. We need to win that next immunity challenge at all costs. Come on in, guys. This alliance is next level. So, Shonee, sending Shonee home was a big decision for you. How do you feel about it now? I feel like it was the absolute right decision to make.

Uh had to go and yeah, it was important for my gameplay. Brooke. Yes. Your alliance is down to two now. Yep, but I’m still here, strong too. How’s it been without Shonee? Quite sad, quite dull. I miss her um smiling face every day, but very grateful that I still have AK. Brooke and I are both on the chopping block.

The saddest part about this though is if one of us win, it’s more than likely the other one’s going home, so right now, if ever in this game, it’s every man for themselves. All right, you guys ready to get to today’s immunity challenge?  Yeah. Brooke, I know you don’t want to give it up.  need this immunity. Okay. Once again, immunity is back up for grabs for today’s challenge.

You’re going to swim out to a pontoon, make your way across a series of  obstacles, leap off a high ladder, and then climb up onto a towel and to collect a monkey fist. You’ll then race  out to a hitching post, and use the monkey fist to retrieve a bag of puzzle pieces. You’ll use the pieces inside to solve a word puzzle.

First person gets it right, wins immunity, safe from the vote. Losers Tribal Council where one of you will become the 19th All Star voted out of this game. Just try and get through the obstacles as fast as you can. Yeah. All right, let’s get to this. All right, here we go. For immunity. surv1vors ready? Go. Everyone dives in.

Swimming out to the pontoon. David has an early lead. David gets to the pontoon first. They got to go over and under those hurdles. Brooke up on the pontoon now. Brooke on his tail. David’s through. Moving on to the beam. First person on the beam gets the first crack at it. Everyone else is going to have to wait their turn.

The guide rope is slack. Means you got to hang way out over the water. Fall in, you got to go to the back of the line. AK finally out of the water. David’s across. Moving on to the ladder. Brooke on the beam now. David extending his lead. David leaps in. Brooke is through. She moves on to the ladder. David on the cargo net now.

Sean looking very wobbly on the beam. David on the deck now. Unspooling his rope to collect his monkey fist. Brooke, she’s on the cargo net. Sean’s good. She moves on to the ladder. Tarzan on the beam now. Brooke on the deck working quickly. David was first to the monkey fist, but he is taking his time to unwind it.

Sean goes in. Tarzan is through. Malana on the beam now. Sean struggling on the cargo net. Brooke has her monkey fist first. Brooke slides down first. David, right on her tail. Racing out to the hitching post.  Brooke is short. Moana is through. AK, last one on the beam. David comes up way short. There’s definitely a learning curve on the monkey fist.

Rope management is key. Tarzan climbing up to the top of the deck. David has another crack at it. Comes up short. Brooke, way short. Shannon has her monkey fist. AK’s finally through on the beam. Shannon races out. She’s trying to get in on it. AK gas at the top of the ladder. No, I don’t want to jump. Tarzan has his monkey fist.

He slides down. AK stalled at the top of the ladder. He’s going to have to get into the water or it could be the end of his game. Does not want to jump. COME ON, AK, JUMP. IF HE DOESN’T JUMP, HE’LL HAVE no sh0t at immunity. Tarzan gives it a sh0t, comes up short. David short. AK’s fear of heights paralyzing him at the top.

Come on, AK, come on. Brooke trying to encourage him. Come on, AK. No one has managed to snag their bag of puzzle pieces. This is still anyone’s game. Come on, AK. You’re still in this. AK, you can do it. One second. DO IT, BROTHER. JUST DO IT. YES. YES, AK. AK’S IN. David gets close. AK moving quickly on the cargo net, trying to make up some time.

Tarzan has another go, comes up short. Sharn is short. Brooke is short. AK’s up on the deck. Now he’s back in it. David close. Trying to h00k it. David snags his bag of puzzle pieces, pulling them in. Go, Davey. But AK loves a good puzzle challenge. That could be the difference in a challenge like this. Moana has hers.

Tarzan has his. David empties his bag. Just like that, three people have their puzzle pieces. Moana’s right there now. Brooke feeling the pressure. Far out.  Really struggling with that monkey fist. You have 19 letters to spell a five word phrase. David sorting through them. Alana trying to get her pieces out of her bag.

Brooke, AK, Shone, still struggling to snag their bags. David starts trying some combinations. Tarzan doing the same. AK desperately trying to snag his bag. I just slammed my hand. Tarzan has all his pieces in, but it looks like gobbledygook at the moment. AK gets his. He has his bag. Brooke still struggling with that monkey fist.

AK in on it now. Lots of different words you can spell with these letters. 44 days out here, your brain is not as sharp as it once was. Alana has something spelled out. But it’s not correct. Puzzle is the great equalizer in surv1vor. It is an equalizer, but not when you’re this far behind. Yeah. Oh, Brooke. Hold on. Finally, Brooke has hers.

Brooke in on it now. Everyone else has had a nice head start on this puzzle. Brooke just getting to it. Unloading her pieces. Brooke’s working quickly. Everyone working quickly when they first got here. Now it’s slowed down. AK glances over at David’s. Trying to get some inspiration. Trying to work out what this phrase is.

Tarzan rearranging some pieces. Immunity on the line. Shaun still struggling with the monkey fist. David stumped. Bewilderment on his face. Phrase needs to make sense. Brooke Brooke has something going now. Working quickly. This would be a huge comeback if she gets this right. Slotting pieces into place. AND THAT’S IT! BROOKE WINS IMMUNITY!

Damn it. Oh, man. Take it. What a nice day. Right. Well done. Well done, Brooke. Nice catch. Oh. I was stuck on tonight. Well done. Well done. Well done. Well done. Oh. Amazing. Well done.    AK, you’re clearly emotional right now. What’s going through your head? Man, I’m just happy for Brooke.

I want to celebrate Brooke  right now. Are you worried that this could be it? Yeah, man. Yeah. No, I can’t speak. Well, it’s not over till it’s over. You know that. This is surv1vor. Come on over. It is sweet. Congratulations. Immunity is yours. You are safe tonight.  Cannot be voted out.

Guaranteed a one in five sh0t at winning this game. As for the rest of you, Tribal Council tonight, where one of you will become the sixth member of our jury. Well done. Thank you. Grab your gear, head back to camp. I’ll see you guys tonight. Well done. I know that my name’s coming out of that urn tonight at Tribal Council. So, right now, I’m feeling vulnerable, but surv1vor doesn’t favor the strongest, the fastest, the fittest.

It favors the bravest. No matter how much my back’s against the wall, or the numbers are against me, I’m going to f1ght my way back into the game. Congratulations, Brooke. Thank you. Well done today. Brooke, that was awesome, and now that puzzle, holy cow. Good job. I think it’s cuz I was just thinking about that.

I was just trying to get one more day in the game. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Uh back to back wins now. Um I’m so happy. Thank god. Sorry, guys. I know you wanted me out.    The fact that I’m going to tribal tonight being safe and guaranteed in the top five, I’m stoked. Well done. You’re incredible. You deserve it.

But this is an extremely bittersweet win because I feel like I’ve put the nail in AK’s coffin because I did win today. AK and I have been together since day one and I don’t want him to go home. So,  I’m going to do absolutely everything that I can to help save AK. Brooke won immunity today  again, which is pretty epic, but it’s not what we wanted to see.

We wanted Brooke out just because she is a challenge be4st. Um she keeps winning and that could be d4ngerous if she keeps going towards the end. We just have to get her out this time. Yeah, there’s another chance of getting him out. Yeah. Worst case scenario, she wins. We’ll protect us. Yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah. Okay.

Yeah, definitely. So, right now is pretty simple. Four of us, me, Dave, Shaun, Tarzan, two of them, Brooke and AK. And AK’s got to go. I think we just stick to the g.uns. Mhm. That’s good. That’s good for me. AK, he’s a man of whispers, but he’s also very strategically good at this game and that makes him d4ngerous.

If an idol is played, you’ll have to play it on us. Yeah, that’s okay. I know he will try to save AK. It is a pretty ballsy move not to split the votes. If he plays an idol, whoever they they’ve votes on is going home and that could be me, that could be Dave. So, nothing would surprise me. But, there’s no way I’m going to let that happen.

He’s either been the best at alliances or he’s been a bottom. Yeah, certainly. Yeah, it’s been playing dumb. Actually, it’s the only one I’ve been at. He was in this one since day one. AK and Brooke are 100 million percent going to be idle h.unting. I’m going to have to try and somehow get a GPS and put it on them because we need to make sure AK doesn’t find an idle.

Okay. Is there something here they’re going to bring out tonight? There’s only five people between me and half a million dollars, but it’s never felt so far away. Brooke won immunity, so I know the votes are coming to me tonight. You know what I’m guessing in fact you don’t have an idle. They don’t speak. Hello. Mhm.

And they’ve got the numbers to do it. Yeah. Yeah? Mhm. Shone has been playing the middle ground since merge. And now that I’m on the bottom, she’s not going to want to work with me. So. I think it’s time to go. Good idea. Yeah. If the majority four were smart, they would understand if I have a hidden immunity idol, then whoever Brooke and I put votes on would be going home.

He’s not okay. I’m actually slightly concerned about him. I need to go on an Easter egg h.unt and find myself an idol. You want to go and get it? Shone always makes me do stuff. He just thinks to be good at hiding. You’re in luck. AK is vulnerable tonight. He knows that and he’s searching around for idols. Our job is to make sure he doesn’t find one.

I’m going to follow you around for a little while. All right. Well, you go that way, I’ll go this way and then we make like wh@tever it is. We’ll meet in the middle. I like following you, actually. Following is fun. I’ve never felt more frustrated in the game of surv1vor than I do right now. I’m so desperate to find an idol and I’ve got Mo babysitting me.

There you go. Unbreakable. So, I’m doing everything I can to break my babysitter tag and get rid of Moana because that’s the only chance I have to come out at Tribal Council and have a hidden immunity idol wrapped around my neck. What the h3ll did you do that for? I hope that breaks the tag. Well, that’s a bit immature, don’t you think? Yo.

AK just cracked the shits and threw the barrel of water. He just walked out, got the whole war barrel, flipped it. And then he said there’s no rice now. The best thing about losing my babysitter is I’ve just bought myself at least 5 10 minutes without anyone tagging me. They’re not going to know if I find an idol.

Oh, so many grubs in here. Things I do for you, AK. Anything can happen at Tribal Council. We have to watch him because if he finds an idol, that puts all of us in a position. Watch him. Here we are. Yeah. I’m a little bit worried that AK could have an idol. He’s been out there idol h.unting and he managed to break a tag this afternoon.

Who’s there? So, I need to find out what’s going on. What a child. I guess strategy is not really his thing on this island. Yo. Yeah, yeah. It looks like it’s too late, sunshine. What’s the idea behind it? Uh in case you guys split. Oh, no. Just in case you split. So, I know Well, me and someone. I’m using him.

David’s a ma.ssive player and I don’t put anything past him. So, I’m presenting another plan to him, and I’m hoping that appeals to him to make the move tonight. Would you? He’s just stroking his beard. Yeah. Tonight, there is potential for a huge move. Shone is definitely a big threat in this game, and that makes her a target tonight.

You do want to get those threats out. Put it on Shone. I’m playing the big moves that I love to see in this game, and that would be a big move. Okay. Yeah. Cheers, Shone. Shone is a fantastic  player. She’s been amazing socially, strategically a be4st. She’s going to have a big game to talk about. She’s going to have the resume to back it up.

Shone can sit at this final tribal, which she has experience at, and really blow you out of the water. Huh. Moments before Tribal Council, I feel like something’s just not sitting quite right. Try it. It’s actually quite nice. Have some of that. So, that is I mean, pardon? It’s all pretty  sedate, and there’s not a lot of chatter going on.

It’s very awkward, and I don’t like it at all. I know that Brooke and AK are very upset with me in not living up to my promises to them. They’ve had plenty of time to hatch a plan for tonight’s Tribal Council. It only takes one  person from my alliance to flip, and I’m going home. That’s an incredibly scary thought after all the time and energy you put into this game.

Because they’ve put two on you, though. Yeah, I know, but we’re good. Yeah, I know. I’m just saying. Okay. Absolutely. That’s not changing. And the only thing that changes is the food. Have a look. I’d rather go and get Dave and then they’ll say something to Dave, and but he’s not he’s He’s not going Okay, Dave’s good.

We’re everyone is good here.    So, what are you guys as frustrated as we are? So, it’s all good. I do think it is too easy to just take AK out tonight, and I am feeling very worried that other people are having other thoughts. I’m hoping that’s not true. At this point in the game, I’m not ready to go home. I never want to sit on a jury.

In  real life, I can’t do it because I’m a lawyer. In surv1vor, I don’t want to do it. I never want to be on a jury. I have not played for 43 days to just give up now. I love this game way too much to just  roll over and d1e, and hopefully David will decide to take that move and send Shone  home tonight.

If AK has  an idol, he knows he’s getting votes, and he’ll play that idol and send someone from the majority alliance home. So, that is a big  reason to get rid of Shone. She’s definitely a big threat in this game. Hold on to your hats, bite down on your belt. This is All Stars surv1vor, baby.

We know it’s about to get very messy.     Now, bring in the members of our jury. Locky Harry Zach

Jackie Shonee, part of that last Tribal Council. So, AK, you were very emotional at the end of that challenge today. Clearly, you’re  feeling vulnerable tonight. Yeah, I am. Um That was really hard for me to jump today. It sucked. And knowing that Brooke and I are in the minority, and Brooke winning today the writing was on the wall.

So, what was it about the jump? I’ve got a fear of heights and I’ve got a fear of water. So, combining the two together sort of scared the bejesus out of me, to be honest. But you did, you overcame it. Yeah, after about 3 minutes. That’s what I keep replaying in my head. 3 more minutes on that word puzzle and maybe I could have been wearing that necklace tonight.

To AK, were you torn when you saw Brooke win that immunity necklace today? That’s the the funny part about this game is that for my own game, I probably would have loved anyone else but Brooke to win that necklace. But the human side of me and the relationship that I’ve built with Brooke, I couldn’t have been happier for her.

And that’s why when the challenge  ended, I didn’t want no pity party. I didn’t want any attention. I wanted to celebrate the fact that this girl’s worn this necklace more times than David’s worn  a t shirt in the game. And I’m concerned about the tan lines that she’s going to get from it. I think I need  those tan lines.

So, Shone, your alliance of four have proven to be unbreakable at this stage. Given that, is it a done deal tonight? I don’t think it’s ever a done deal, Jonathan, seriously in this game. I think people are thinking about their own individual games. But I would like  to think the people that I’ve invested in and I have been loyal to in this game remain loyal in this game.

I put a lot on the line at the two tribals ago and to save my alliance. I remained true to that alliance and, you know, put myself in a difficult position for that. So, I do hope that everyone knows what I’ve done to keep our alliance intact. But, Moana, not everyone in the alliance of four can go to the end.

So, at some point soon, someone’s going to have to make a move. Is tonight the night? Now that you have two easy numbers that you could scoop up? Um Tonight’s not the night for me, Jonathan. I’m a day by day girl, and we have a plan, and I come here with a plan, and I always stick to the plan. So, Tarzan, AK is plan A. Brooke has the immunity necklace.

Is there a plan B tonight? Well, I suppose there’s always a plan B. And um your favorite saying, mate, we’ll have to wait till we get to the votes to find out. But, um I think we’re fairly solid on plan A, hoping it’ll come together. You hope that everyone’s told you the correct information today. But, yeah, plan B is not a good option, I wouldn’t have thought, if there is a plan B.

You might feel like you’re making a move now, but then two moves time, you could be sitting over there. So, I think they’ve got to be very careful about choices that they make tonight. What do you think about that, David? Yeah, I think she’s correct about saying that this is a pretty um pivotal tribal for us.

It was the last one was even more pivotal, so I think we’re just kind of yeah, going through a lot right now. This is super intense. I’ve never been down to six before, and it’s full on. I’m just moving forward with what I said I was going to do with the people I’ve been playing with and hoping for the best. Well, on that note, I think it’s time to vote.

Tarzan, you’re up. Okay, it’s been a pleasure playing with you. Hopefully you’re going home tonight and not me.  I’ll go count the votes.

Okay, before I read the votes, tonight you have a choice. What? Okay, before I read the votes, tonight you have a choice. What? I can read the votes like I normally would and someone goes home. Or if you think you might be the person  going home tonight, you can take your own game into your own hands and compete in a trial by fire.

Which means you will go head to head in a fire making challenge against another member of your tribe. Now, your opponent must be chosen unanimously by the tribe and is at no risk of going home. If you cannot make a unanimous decision, then we’ll draw rocks to decide on your opponent. All you need to do is make fire first and you live to see another day in the game.

But if you lose, I snuff your torch and your survival journey comes to an end. So, if you think your name might be in this urn and you want to play with fire, be the first to raise your hand right now. Or I can read the votes in this urn and someone’s going home.  AK, you want to go to trial by fire? I’d love to go to trial by fire.

All right, so the rest of the tribe, you need to decide who you want to put up against AK. Now remember, it must be a unanimous decision, and whoever does it will not be going home. If you cannot make a unanimous decision, then we’ll draw rocks. Who do you want to do? Me? You want to put me up? No. You want to do it, Mo? No. Shaun has to.

No. What about Dave got up? God, no. No? Tarz? No. Let’s just draw for rocks. Well, Tarz, me, or Brooke, so Shaun, do we have a decision? I think we do. I think Moana’s going to go up. See? Is that the unanimous decision? I’m happy with that.    Moana it is. It’s Moana versus AK for AK’s place back in the game.

All right. Okay, so you both have the same fire making supplies. The goal is to build a fire high enough to burn through the rope and raise a flag. AK, if you’re the first to do so, you win your spot back in the game. If you don’t, it’s game over. All right, survivors, begin. Moana, pulling out the husk. AK’s whole game on the line.

This could be a $500,000 fire. AK going for a spark already. Both scraping magnesium from their flint, trying to get that spark to catch. Blow it, blow it, blow it, blow it, blow it, blow it. Blow it, blow it, blow it, blow it. Blow it like a nest and blow. Blowing on it, trying to turn it into something. Lost it. More magnesium.

AK trying to get it to catch. After 44 days out here, you should have a pretty good idea how to make fire. Come on, AK. Ruana continues to scrape magnesium. Yeah, that’s it. That’s it, Mo. Yeah, that’s it, Mo. AK looks over. Focus on your AK. I’ll keep you updated. She hasn’t got it yet. Ruana trying to nurse her husk.

Can she get it to catch? There it is. She has a flame.  Yeah, you got it. Now, get those get those twigs ready.  the twigs. Let’s go. Little ones, Mo. The little ones. The smallest ones you can find. Meanwhile, AK is desperately striking at his flint trying to get his husk to catch. Now, she needs to keep it going.

Needs to build a teepee around it. AK continues to strike desperate to get something going. There he is. He has a little something. He needs  to nurse it now. Yes.  Mo. Yes, nurse it. Needs to nurse it into something bigger. Yes, AK. Yes, AK. Almost there. Lots of smoke. Finally, AK has a flame.

Can he keep it going? Yes, AK. Keep blowing, Mo. Moana has lost her flame. You got to get that flame back, girl. Just lots of smoldering husk at this stage. Keep going. Yes, AK. Everything on the line for AK. He can feel the pressure. His whole game hinges on this fire. Moana has a decent flame now. Her wood is starting to catch.

Don’t let it collapse. It’s like Jenga now, Mo.  Yep. AK’s fire is dying down. He’s going to need to build this up quickly if he wants to stay in this. Keep going, Mo. You got to keep building. Moana is getting close to that rope. Licking the rope. The wind is pushing it away. AK can feel the pressure. He’s blowing on it trying to get his to build up.

Moana’s fire is legitimate right now. AK’s fire comes back now. Now his is on the rope. AK shaking as he piles wood on. Moana’s fire is ablaze now. Getting very close to that rope. Who’s going to burn through first? Moana’s rope is getting scorched.  That’s it. Moana’s flag is raised. Amazing. You did so good.

You did so well. I’m so proud of you. AK, unfortunately, you are the 19th All All Star voted out of this game and sixth member of our jury. You need to bring me your torch.    I know I’ve had an extended stay here, but can I just take 2 seconds to look around? You played a great game, buddy.  Yeah, you did, AK. Well done, mate.

I’m good. Thanks. AK, the tribe has spoken. Thanks, mate. Time for you to go.  Cheers, mate. I’m still pinching myself that I’m  here for a second time. It’s been a pleasure. All the best to the five of you, especially Dave, but especially Brooke. You guys better be hungry. Got to keep your head up. Well, in this game, fire is life, and that’s never been truer than tonight.

Grab your torches, head back to camp. Good night. Next time on Australian surv1vor. My alliance has gone from a strong five to just me. She’s all alone. Right now it’s do or d1e. But she’s not giving up. If I can get in with Mo and Shone and convince them that I should be going to the end with them, I could have a sh0t.

I was sparing my family. This is a trust vote. Can Brooke defeat the odds? I am the survivor. That’s what I do. And get one step closer. I’m here to witness this alliance crumble. To the title of sole survivor. I’m not going down without a f1ght. I was six days away from winning the title of sole survivor.

It’s so close but so far away. I hope that Brooke keeps winning immunity challenges and then the majority four they’re going to have to  turn on one of their own and I can’t wait to see that. I would love to see David or Brooke win this game. They’ve both played strategic games, social and they’re both physical threats and have every attribute it takes to win this game.

I’m proud of the game I’ve played and to go down in a burning flame of glory not so glory. I’ll take it. There’s no better way to go out.
