Sarah whispers back that Jericho needs to trust that she knows what is happening at the merge. When the votes are cast, Locky and Tara voted Sarah, Peter and Ziggy voted for Locky, Tessa and Michelle voted for Sarah, but Luke, Sarah, and Jericho act on their plan to blindside Tessa. Tara is extremely hurt and angry at Peter's betrayal stating that she has protected Peter since the beginning and his betrayal has hurt her. She controlled the votes without standing out as the leader, had an amazing social game, and made it all the way to F3, where she would have won against both Kristie and Lee. Her paranoia would increase overtime, during which Jericho found a moral dilemma: he could bring firewood back to the tribe or get a jar of cookies for himself. Sarah proposes an all girls' alliance, but Michelle and Ziggy are hesitant. Therefore, AK decides to approach Anneliese and tells her if she votes with their alliance tonight in the split vote, she'll put herself in a better position.

On the morning of Day 35, Asaga and Samatau finally merge into one tribe. Michelle states that Ben is an unpredictable player who likes to show off and reveal secrets. 2 While Luke was not able to get Kent voted out, he is still thrilled that he forced a tie and made Samantha paranoid. Jericho and Locky picked up where they left off their previous season in opposing alliances as well as a general lack of trust, as Jericho was suspicious of Locky when he returned from the Survivor shop reward with Phoebe. Though the initial intended target Joan was voted out in the revote, this move surprised Samantha who thought she was dictating the strategy of Asaga. After Tribal Council, Jacqui and Henry celebrate blindsiding Samantha and believe that they got the biggest threat voted out of the game. However, Luke has observed that Sarah has been distancing herself from him and has been playing both sides. WebLuke does not plan on telling Jericho because he would likely not go for the plan, so he is going to let Jericho think the vote is still for Peter while the other three would vote Sarah. Jericho does sit down with Sarah and Luke to see if they can talk through their differences, but the conversation does not go well as Sarah brings up Luke's comments regarding whether he could trust her. While the voting takes place, Ziggy, Tessa, and AK all yell out that they are voting for Anneliese to signal the other alliance members to vote for her and stating that she should have worked with them tonight. Individual wins: She has a great understanding of the game, using Janine as a meatshield. AK does acknowledge that he is on the bottom, but he is trying to prove to everyone that he has learned from his past mistakes and can be trusted.

Luke sees the other table also contains an envelope and he grabs it. However, it is clear that AK did tell his alliance about Tarzan's idol as the votes are split. Upon the announcement of renewal, a casting call was made for potential contestants for the new season. Before Tribal Council, Tara discusses a plan with Locky and Aimee to use Tessa while she's still in the game and vote out AK tonight.

Both tribes receive tree mail and discover that everyone has received a care package from home. At the Final 4, Jericho won an advantage to remove a member of the jury.

I will keep feeding it until they let their guard down, then I will strike," he said. In season 4, he was in good spot on OG Contenders, then was swapscrewed into a bad place, had to rely on idols for a bit which is why he isn't higher, but his social game improved to the point where Janine and Pia wanted to get rid of Simon over him. Jericho then won the final immunity challenge and decided to stay true to his new alliance with Tara, voting out Peter. Tara and Anneliese were voted out and were exiled for the night before joining Asaga on Day 21. When the votes are cast, Anneliese decides to play her idol. Asaga was given the offer to mutiny from their tribe and become a member of Samatau. Madeline also got a healthy prognosis, with Luke telling The West Australian that her doctors had been surprised at how well she was going, at the very end of 2019. AK wants to believe Luke, but he notices Luke and Tara spending too much time together and believes that Luke might be playing him. Ziggy debates keeping Locky in the game because he will always be more of a physical threat than her. Jericho and Luke are not happy that Mark left, with Jericho even putting out the fire on purpose and swearing privately that he's done with the Asaga tribe. The tribe immediately proceeds to the first Reward Challenge. He revealed early on that he was doing Survivor for his sons now his two eldest children. Adam swears he did not find the idol and reminds everyone that the person causing the chaos and disharmony in the tribe is AK. Locky knows what AK is trying to do and keeps his cool despite feeling frustrated. AK is concerned with Henry being on Samatau because he is strong, a great game player, and AK worries Henry could work his charm and change the course of his game. He had lots of control in Season 2, was friends with everybody, and had one of the best social games ever. When the votes are cast, the tribe decides that they can no longer trust Ben and he receives five votes. Tessa is pleased to hear this and agrees to work with AK moving forward. Ziggy is happy to be aligned with AK because he is a smart player, but she also knows she cannot beat AK if he makes it to the end of the game. Tara accuses AK of being the new puppet master and everyone else is his puppets. On Samatau, with AK gone, the power has shifted in the game. This causes some of the Samatau members to wonder aloud whether their plan isn't solid. Locky and Michelle are both on the fence about what to do. The next morning, it appears that Sarah and Tara have formed a pair and Luke and Jericho remain a pair with Odette in the middle. When the votes are cast, it is revealed that Michelle and Locky flip to Asaga with Michelle citing what happened earlier and Locky citing Samatau wanting to target Henry as their reasons for flipping. However he was criticized for his cruelty and hypocrisy, claiming to be a benevolent religious person despite unnecessarily being nasty to Jarrad and Sarah when they were eliminated, riding on Lukes coattails, and making bad decisions such as removing Tessa from the jury and taking Tara to the end, despite Tessa saying she would be very unlikely to vote for Tara to win. Kent becomes the ninth person voted out of Australian Survivor. While trust is up for debate, Peter believes the purpose of tonight's vote is to eliminate a huge threat which can mutually benefit a majority of the players still left in the game.
