Mercy of Killing

**Mercy of Killing** is the eighth episode of *Survivor: The Australian Outback*.

## Story

### Day 22

The Nanga tribe members are working around camp. Ezekiel and Raymond are trying to catch fish while Vivian and Kaylie are making fire.

Ezekiel talks with Raymond while swimming on the boat. Raymond is thankful to Ezekiel about last vote. Ezekiel says he has to talk with Kai about it, because he voted for him with David. Raymond thinks it's good to go further in this game without Jana, Kaylie and Jermaine because they're a huge threat. Ezekiel tells Raymond he's not going to betray Binnu people.

David talks with Kai about last Tribal Council. David tells Kai that he voted for him and he's apologizing to him about it. Kai admits he almost screwed them up by saying a lot of information to Egypt. David tells Kai he's into working with him and with Binnu people and he's not mad about it. Kai shakes David's hand.

### Day 23

After the Reward Challenge, Jana and Kaylie went for their reward - a full course meal. Jana has won and picked Kaylie as her partner. Later on, they arrived at the dinner and start to eat. Kaylie is thankful to Jana about this. Jana jokes they can party now, because they will be voted out next anyway. Kaylie tells Jana that if there's going to be any chance they will stay in this game, then she's taking Jana to the Final 2. Jana hugs Kaylie telling her she's into it. Kaylie thinks they have to find a crack between Binnu people. Jana wonders how Binnu people don't see David as a threat. Kaylie admits David is a huge social threat, as he's nice to everybody and he didn't ruffle any feathers.

Back at camp, the rest of Nanga tribe returns. Jermaine is a little bit sad Jana didn't pick him. Nora, Vivian, Ezekiel and Kai are chilling in the shelter, while Jermaine walks away from camp. David rushes towards Jermaine to comfort him. Raymond watches the situation. David asks Jermaine how he feels and Jermaine tells him he's mad about losing and being so close to elimination. David tells Jermaine he can't give up now. Raymond joins them and they start to talk about this game and nice food they would love to eat.

Raymond talks with Vivian on private. He tells her how David is playing the game and how it worries him. Vivian agrees it's very weird how he's connecting with the enemy. Raymond tells Vivian that it's nothing wrong to be nice to people but David somehow allies with enemies.

### Day 24

After the Immunity Challenge, the whole Nanga tribe returned to their camp with Kai wearing the Immunity Necklace. Vivian asks Nora to talk in private about tonight's vote. She tells Nora about her conversation with Raymond about voting out David now. Nora is shocked. She doesn't understand the reason of voting out David. Vivian mentions it would be good for their team, because David is spending a lot of time with enemies. Nora doesn't know what to do. Vivian tells Nora they have to see what will Ezekiel and Kai say, but it may be a bloody vote.

Ezekiel and Kai talk about last Tribal Council. Kai tells Ezekiel he knows they have had some tough time together, but he hopes it will be different now. Ezekiel tells Kai they can't play with Nanga tribe, because they're too close. Kai thinks it's good they are playing with Binnu people.

Raymond joins the conversation of Ezekiel and Kai talking about today's plan. Raymond tells them he wants to make sure everybody is on board with the plan. Kai wonders what is it. Raymond tells them about voting out David, because he's talking a lot with Jermaine, Jana and Kaylie and also he's playing a great social game, nobody got a chance next to him in the Final 2. Ezekiel laughs nervously and tells Raymond he would never expect that. Kai asks Raymond is he sure because it will be only three Binnu members. Raymond tells Kai he's 100% sure they have majority because he trusts Raymond and Kai. They shake hands.

David spends some time with Jermaine and Kaylie. They talk about how much they want Ezekiel to go home. David tells them he can help them, because Ezekiel is a threat in this game. Kaylie is happy to hear it. David tells them he's really trying to help them, because they did nothing wrong to be in this position.

Vivian talks with Jana. She whispers to her about voting out David tonight. Jana is totally shocked as she thinks it's insane. Jana already knows about David's plan to vote out Ezekiel tonight, but Jana thinks the better option for them is to get rid a Binnu member. Jana goes to Kaylie and Jermaine to discuss it. They need to think about this plan.

At Tribal Council it's a unanimous vote for David as he's voted out by a vote of 8-1.
