Never In A Million Years

This is the ninth episode of Survivor: Kenya

Previously On Survivor...

 * Fears over the newly hidden idol grew to an all new level, especially in the notoriously paranoid Lynsie. However at the Survivor Auction her fears were ceased when she won the clue to its whereabouts. After sharing it with her allies, they all worked together to distract Libby, Stephen, and Rachael, while she managed to dig it up underneath their shelter.
 * Knowing she was at the bottom, Libby devised a plan to get Rachael out due to her connection with Lynsie. After approaching Dan and Shaun, it was determined that they'd use her plan to take Rachael out without questions arising about loyalties.
 * When Rachael won immunity for the second time in a row, it seemed Libby's fate was sealed, but Dan and Shaun decided they wanted to try to flip the script and eliminate Stephen.
 * However at tribal council in a vote of 6-1, Libby was the latest to leave the game.

Challenges
Reward Challenge: Challenge Pitch

The tribe would be divided into two teams of three. Each team would use sand bags to knock down the other teams wall. Once one team decimates the other team's wall, both teams would switch positions, and one member will start rebuilding their wall. First team to finish rebuilding wins reward.

Reward: An overnight visit to a local town with their loved ones.

Night 26
It's a cold night. There's a dampness in the air, and the clouds are rolling in. Thunder can be heard in the distance and the castaways huddle into the shelter and hope that they wont have to bare a storm like the one they endured the other day.

Stephen however puts his sour feelings on the back burner, and helps Shaun but down some low branches to add to the roof of the shelter. The two tried to cover as many holes as they could.

With only Stephen and Rachael left, the newly formed Underdog alliance is in full operation and they've managed to remain undetected. A feat they never expected to accomplish.

With a loud crack of thunder, the sky opens up and it begins to pour. It'll no doubt be a long night for the castaways.

Day 27
The morning remains as miserable as the night. Dan lets out a yawn, nearly nobody managed to sleep. After the rain lets up, Shaun crawls out of the shelter to make some rice for everyone. As he cooks Lynsie stands with him with her arms crossed. Lynsie doesn't feel good, Shaun shares the same feeling. It's been nearly a month, the elements and the food is really starting to take it's toll on the castaways. Corinne joins the conversation and jokes that the experience is a great weight loss program, but gets no arousal. Dan lays in the shelter so hungry and weak, he doesn't even want to move.

Shaun serves breakfast, and everyone enjoys. Although Rachael does a little less than everyone else, but she fails to realize. Shaun has taken it into his own hands to weaken her, and has dealt her a smaller meal portion than everyone else.

Shaun shares his mischievous actions with Dan later, and the two laugh over it.

Jeff reveals that the winners of todays challenge will be able to take part in the excursion with their loved ones. They all erupt into cheers, and tears.

Corinne, Johnathan, Shaun, and Lynsie are all forced to say goodbye to their loved ones. Corinne is effected the most by the loss. Her husband hugs her, and reminds her to remain strong throughout the game and that she only has a little while longer left.

Rachael, Dan, and Stephen, along with their loved ones, head off out of view in order to be taken away to their reward.

Lugon
Returning to camp, everyone is fairly silent. Corinne breaks the quiet with her tears and anger. She exclaims how unfair it is, considering she has kids and family of her own. "They should have thrown it to us!" Lynsie puts her arm around her, and guides her into the shelter to calm her down.

Johnathan and Shaun both sit by the fire, clearly extremely annoyed by Corinne's tantrum.

Reward
Rachael, Jasmine, Stephen, Annabelle, Dan and Craig all arrive to a nearby local town, in the back of a pick up truck. The back pops open, and all six hop out. Immediately, they are greeted by a fire roasted feast. They sit down at a beat up old picnic table and dig in. Craig tells Dan how proud he is of him that he's managed to make it this far, knowing how out of his element he is. Stephen's girlfriend, Annabelle, refuses to kiss his dirty mouth with a laugh. Both Jasmine and Rachael talk about how grimy and dirty she is, along with the conditions. Jasmine's shocked to learn Rachael had just showered merely days earlier, as she has already become so dirty again.

After dinner everyone takes part in a evenings worth of celebrations, thrown especially for the six of them. Dancing, music, socializing, a true escape from the cruel nature of the game.

After a few drinks, Stephen has Annabelle sitting on his lap, and finally gets the kiss from his girlfriend he's been waiting for. Dan and Craig are dancing with some of the local children, Rachael and Jasmine are socializing with some of the elders.

Reward
Waking up is a miserable experience for Dan. He's woken up with a hangover, and almost immediately had to high tail it into the bushes to throw up. He spends the morning in bed with a bucket, guzzling water. His partner, Craig, brings him a hefty, greasy egg breakfast, which helps him a lot.

After lunch everyone squishes back into the truck, and heads away for the days excursion, zip lining. Soaring high above the jungle floor, it's a view like no other. It's one that makes Dan's already sensitive stomach turn upside down.
