THIS IS A CONTINUATION OF THE SURVIVOR: CAPE VERDE PREMIERE! CLICK HERE FOR THE FIRST PART

Zaranha
We see everyone continuing working around their camp. Adrian watches over them as they work. His eyes stop on Wilma as she takes a drink from her canteen.

"Zaranha"

- I think Wilma is one of our weaker people. That being said, an alliance between the two of us would be excellent. No one would suspect a thing because people would see her as the obvious first out. But with my protection, she can be a perfect goat for me to take to the end.

Adrian approaches Wilma as she finishes another drink.

Adrian:  How you feeling?

Wilma:  I’m feeling good. Back hurts from the shelter, but besides that, I’m great.

Adrian:  What do you think about us two working together?

Wilma looks totally surprised, taken back by Adrian’s sudden offer.

Adrian:  I think we could work well together.

Wilma (Uninterested):  Uh, yeah. I think so to.

"Zaranha"

- I have a decent bulls**t detector in my opinion. I can tell when someone is lying to me or trying to take me on a trip. Adrian? He’s trying to take me on a trip. But a problem I have is I can’t really act interested in people. If I don’t think you’re being genuine, I won’t be genuine. So I don’t think Adrian really believed me.

Adrian:  Good talk, Wilma.

Wilma:  Yeah, good talk.

"Zaranha"

- Wilma didn’t really take my offer up. Whatever, her own problem. In my mind, she just sealed her own fate by acting like that. If I have any say, and I will have a say, she will be the first one to go. I promise you that.

After Adrian’s confessional, we cut to Carla and Gregory in the shelter. Riley stands behind the two, watching.

Gregory:  So you were in a car crash?

Carla:  Yeah, when I was sixteen, my sister and I were driving around and a bus sideswiped us. Broke my nose in a few places.

Gregory:  Wow.

"Zaranha"

- After my car crash, it really changed my whole outlook on life. Before, I was just out partying, getting wasted, and all that. After, I straightened up, got into college, and now I work as a lawyer. Even though I was near death, it actually helped me out a lot.

Behind Carla and Gregory, Riley is seen rolling her eyes.

"Zaranha"

- Carla’s sob story didn’t work on me. ‘’(fake crying)’’ Wah, I was in a car accident. Wah, I nearly died. ‘’(Stops)’’ Give it a rest! I’m so sick of this chick. I need to get her out soon so I need to start getting people on my side. I want to get Gregory on my side but I’m scared Carla’s sob story got to him. I just need to try my damndest.

After Riley’s confessional, we cut to Gregory and Riley walking in the forest.

Riley:  So what are you thinking about in terms of who goes first?

Gregory:  I haven’t really thought about it, to be honest.

Riley:  I’ve been thinking about Carla, honestly.

Gregory:  Really?

Riley:  I think with her story, she has the best chance at winning. No one will want to take her out.

Gregory:  That is a good point.

"Zaranha"

- I like Carla and all, but Riley has a good point. Carla has a good story to sell people so if we let her go deep, she could win.

Riley has a smirk on her face as her and Gregory shake hands.

"Zaranha"

- With Gregory on my side, I feel a bit more confident going forward with getting Carla out. But it’s gonna take more than us two to get her out. Dana is someone who seems to have a decent head on her shoulders so I want to get her on my side.

We cut to Riley and Dana in the shelter.

Riley:  I really wanna get Carla out first.

Dana:  Really?

Riley:  She needs to go, you know it.

Dana (Hesitant):  I guess so.

Riley:  I think if she goes far, she’s gonna win.

Dana:  Ok, I’m down.

Riley smirks.

"Zaranha"

- That does it! Carla is done for! I feel amazing being able to get the votes to get her bitch ass out of this game! A future note for you Carla, don’t mess with me!

After Riley’s confessional, we cut to Dana walking towards Carla.

Dana:  Can we talk for a second?

Carla:  Oh, sure.

"Zaranha"

- The way Riley was campaigning to me just rubbed me the wrong way. I didn’t feel right trying to get Carla out so I wanted to tell her what is happening.

We cut to Dana and Carla by the water well.

Dana:  Ok, so Riley came to me earlier and she wants you out.

Carla:  Are you kidding?

Dana:  No, she was using your car accident story against you, saying you’ll use it to beat us at the end.

‘‘‘‘‘Carla: ' What a bitch, dude!

Dana:  I don’t think it’s really working, but I would start trying to rally votes against her just to play it safe.

Carla:  I will. Thank you for telling me.

The two hug.

"Zaranha"

- Riley is horrible. I told people about my accident because I want them to know me, not to use as a sob story. So for her to use it against me is disgusting. Now I’m in danger of being the first to go and if I go first, it’ll be an embarrassment.

We cut to Carla approaching Kacey by the tribe flag.

‘‘‘‘‘Carla: ' Kacey, I need help big time.

‘‘‘‘‘Kacey: ' What’s happening?

Carla:  Riley has been pushing for me to go. She’s been using my accident story against me to try and get me out. I just really want her to go.

Kacey:  Oh wow, well you shouldn’t have a thing to worry about.

Carla (Sighs with relief):  Thank you.

The two girls hug.

"Zaranha"

- Carla may be in my alliance, but her paranoid shtick is starting to give me pretty bad vibes. If she’s like this now, who knows how she’ll be deep into the game. Riley also isn’t doing herself any favors by doing what she’s doing so if I were to make a prediction, the vote is gonna be between those two if we lose the first challenge.

After Kacey’s confessional, we go to commercial.

Immunity Challenge
We come back from commercial to see the very first immunity challenge of the season. After a few shots showing off the challenge, we see Probst.

Jeff:  Come on in, guys!

The two tribes walk down a nearby path and step on their respective mat. Jeff reveals the flint and fire making kit, much to the joy of the tribes. He then goes over the challenge. After he goes over the challenge, we cut to everyone at the start of the challenge. Jeff announces the start, prompting everyone to race onto the net bridge. For Corvo, Billy and Bucky lift the slim Asia up to untie the bags while Carla is lifted up by Ry and Adrian to get their bags. Asia gets the bags first and Corvo races to get their sleds. Carla gets her tribes bags, making it a tight race for the two tribes. Billy attaches the rope to the sled and Corvo begins to race through the course with Zaranha hot on their tail. They both get to the end of the course and begin to assemble their puzzle. Ry takes the lead for Zaranha while Danielle attempts to take the lead for Corvo. While Ry’s leadership works well, Danielle causes nothing but confusion for her tribe. Bucky tries to take over but is silenced by Danielle. Danielle’s poor leadership allows Zaranha to finish their puzzle, giving them the first immunity challenge of the season. We then cut to Jeff addressing the two tribes.

Jeff:  Zaranha, congratulations on your first challenge win. Great leadership from Ry wins you this flint and fire making kit.

Jeff gives Ry the rewards and the idol to Wilma.

Jeff:  Head on back to camp, goodnight.

Ry:  G’night, Jeff!

"Zaranha"

- To lead my tribe to victory, it’s great for my strategy. Now I can be seen as a great asset to be taken deep into the game.

The Zaranha tribe leaves the challenge area before Jeff turns to the Corvo tribe.

Jeff:  Corvo, got nothing for ya except a date with me at Tribal where one of you will be the first person voted out of Survivor: Cape Verde. You have the afternoon to think about it, head on back to camp.

The tribe leaves the challenge area as we focus on Sara.

"corvo"

- Danielle screwed us in the challenge so I wouldn’t be sad to see her flame go out tonight.

After Sara’s confessional, we go to commercial.

Zaranha
We come back from commercial to cut to the Zaranha camp. The tribe celebrates as they place the immunity idol in the shelter.

Tim’ Great win, everyone!

Adrian:  It really was.

"Zaranha"

- We won the challenge today, which is great for camp morale. But the bad news is we can’t vote Wilma out. It’s fine, she’s still the first to go in my book and there’s nothing she can do about it.

After Adrian’s confessional, we cut to Wilma digging through the fire making kit. She sees something and sticks a piece of paper in her pocket.

"Zaranha"

- I was going through the fire making kit and in the corner of my eye, I saw a piece of paper wrapped in twine. Instantly I knew what it was, the clue to the hidden immunity idol. I took it but I haven’t had a chance to read it yet.

We cut to Wilma in the woods. She looks around before opening the note and reading the clue.

Wilma:  ‘To find the safety you seek, check where the water isn’t that deep. If you need more time to thin, just go and get yourself a drink.’ The well.

We cut to Wilma running towards the well. She begins to check the stones around the well before a rock slips out.

Wilma:  No way!

She takes the rock out and reveals the hidden immunity idol. She takes it out, kisses it, unwraps it, and puts it in her pocket.

"Zaranha"

- I got the idol, baby! Oh yeah! This is incredible. This is something I dreamed about, getting on this show and finding the idol. Now part of my dream is realized. My next dream? Winning.

After Wilma’s confessional, we cut to the Corvo tribe.

Corvo
We see the Corvo flag as the Corvo tribe returns from the immunity challenge. Everyone looks dejected as Jesse tosses the tribe flag to the ground.

‘‘‘‘‘Jesse: ' We tried our best, y’all.

Michelle:  Yeah, can’t get dejected.

"corvo"

- We lost the challenge. It always sucks because I do like everyone here. But I don’t think the vote is clear cut. I don’t know, we’ll see.

After Michelle’s confessional, we see everyone gathered outside the shelter.

Bucky:  It’s alright guys, we can bounce back next time.

 Danielle:  Yeah, once you go, we can start winning.

Everyone looks at Danielle, shocked at her bluntness.

Billy:  Whoa…ok.

Bucky:  What does that mean?

 Danielle:  If you hadn’t interrupted me today, we would have won.

Bucky:  What the hell? You were the reason we lost today!

 Danielle:  No I wasn’t! I shouldn’t be surprised, white men always want to lead and talk down to women.

Everyone looks shocked.

Jesse:  The f**k?

Danielle shrugs.

"corvo"

- Bucky is getting my vote tonight. He’s a misogynistic pig who lives off the white male privilege that is ruining our country. If the girls want to show we don’t need these men, we can team up together and take out these boys.

Danielle walks away, leaving everyone befuddled.

Billy:  Wow, that was something.

"corvo"

- I don’t know what Danielle was thinking with her whole speech but it did her more harm than good. With the political climate the way it is, I think we should try to keep everything we do game related. I don’t agree with the other tribes politics, but I think if we get Danielle out tonight, we can show that we’re not like her and maybe buy some good will.

Lou:  So we’re all in agreement, we’re voting Dani out?

Bucky:  You know I’m down.

Carter:  Same dude, she’s nutso.

Billy:  Alright, no more discussion.

"corvo"

- Easy vote tonight, Danielle’s going home. I don’t see how anyone will try to change it and if they do, they’re insane.

After Jesse’s confessional, we cut to Kelly. We then show Kelly and Sara sitting in the ocean.

Kelly:  I’ve been thinking, why not keep Danielle and try to oust one of the guys tonight?

Sara:  Really?

Kelly:  I’m only throwing this out to you because out of everyone, I see you as the most trustworthy.

Sara (Chuckles):  Well I appreciate that.

Kelly:  But in all seriousness, I think if we get a guy out, we can control the tribe.

Sara:  I don’t know, I think we’ll be making a division in this tribe way too early.

Kelly:  It could be a risk that could help us.

"corvo"

- The girls on this tribe, I think make better allies than the guys. Billy and Bucky have their bro thing, so they’re tight, Carter doesn’t even know what show he’s on, Lou just walks around camp without a care in the world, and Jesse is kind of lazy. Sara had a great head on her shoulders so we could be a great duo in this game. Plus, Danielle can never win the game. She’s someone to take to the end so I would rather keep her than have her go.

As Kelly’s confessional plays, we cut to the guys as she speaks. We first see Billy and Bucky laughing together as they fix the shelter; Carter jokingly smokes a piece of grass; Lou walks around camp; and Jesse is sleeping in the shelter. We then cut back to the girls in the ocean.

Kelly:  I just think it would be a waste to send Danielle home.

Sara:  Maybe.

"corvo"

- Kelly brought up an interesting point about Danielle. She won’t win so why get her out? But the problem with that is she’ll just make more and more enemies on the other tribe. This game is all about adaptability and Danielle isn’t adaptable. So if she stays, people on the other tribe may never work with us down the line. I really hope Kelly gets back on board the Danielle plan or it could spell disaster for us.

After Sara’s confessional, we cut to the Corvo tribe making their way to Tribal Council. We get a view of the sun quickly setting as we see the Corvo tribe arriving at Tribal Council. They look around Tribal, full of dangling vines and leaves. A snake slithers across the wall as everyone stands in front of their torch.

Jeff:  Behind each of you is a torch. Go ahead, dip it in, and get fire.

Everyone grabs their torch and begin to dip it in the fire in front of them.

Jeff:  This is part of the ritual of Tribal Council. In this game, fire represents your life and once your fire is gone, so are you.

Everyone takes their seat and Jeff begins the QnA.

Jeff:  So Billy, the tribes are divided between the Democrats and the Republicans. Was that talk about that at camp?

Billy:  Yeah, some of us were taken back by it and a bit uncomfortable, due to the political climate back in America. But we told ourselves that this is a game and we’re gonna treat the other tribe with respect and so far I’d say most of us are in that mindset.

Jeff:  But not all?

Billy (Chuckles):  No.

Danielle rolls her eyes.

Jeff:  Bucky, do you know who Billy is talking about?

Bucky:  Danielle.

Danielle makes a face.

Bucky:  She has been a bit more harsh about the other tribe over the last few days and it’s kind of rubbed us the wrong way.

Jeff:  Danielle, is that true?

Danielle:  Well Jeff, the other tribe doesn’t deserve my respect. The person they elected is a disgusting human being and the fact they all stand by him shows who they are.

Jesse:  But that older woman said she doesn’t like Trump, so it’s obvious people on that tribe don’t like him as well.

Danielle:  She’s saving herself the shame.

Jeff:  Kelly, do you think Danielle’s attitude could hurt you guys?

Kelly:  Oh yeah, I think it could make us look like a bunch of a**holes so I don’t agree with how Danielle has gone about things at all.

Asia:  And to go off what Kelly was saying; look, I’m positive I’m not their favorite person due to my choices about who I am as a person. However, I’m still gonna be respectful because this is a game. This isn’t real life, this is Survivor.

Jeff:  Sara, how important is adaptability?

Sara:  Oh, its huge. It’s basically what sets apart the good and bad players so you need to be adaptable.

Jeff:  Danielle, do you think you can be adaptable.

Danielle:  Yes.

Lou lets out a large snicker.

Danielle:  What?

Lou:  Nothing, nothing.

Danielle shakes her head and looks at Jeff as the music intensifies.

Jeff:  Well with that, it is time to vote. Jesse, you’re up.

Jesse gets up and heads to the urn. Of the ten, only Danielle and Bucky have their vote and voting confessional shown. Billy is the last to vote and he returns to his seat.

Jeff:  I’ll go tally the votes.

Jeff goes to get the votes and returns with the urn.

‘‘‘‘‘Jeff: ' If anyone has the hidden immunity idol and would like to play it, now would be the time to do so.

Both Bucky and Billy look over to Danielle, but she doesn’t get up.

Jeff:  Once the votes are read, the decision is final. Person voted out will be asked to leave the Tribal Council area immediately. I’ll read the votes.

Jeff opens up the urn.

Jeff:  First vote – Bucky.

Bucky nods while Danielle smirks.

Jeff:  Danielle. That’s one vote Danielle, one vote Bucky.

Danielle shrugs.

Jeff:  Danielle.

Billy smirks as Kelly turns back to Jeff.

Jeff:  Danielle.

Danielle’s smirk goes away.

Jeff:  Danielle.

Sara and Asia keep their composure as Danielle silently fumes.

Jeff:  Danielle. That’s five votes Danielle, one vote Bucky.

Danielle shakes her head as both Bucky and Billy smirk.

Jeff:  First person voted out of Survivor: Cape Verde – Danielle. That’s six and tonight, that’s enough. Need to bring me your torch.

Danielle gets up.

 Danielle: F**king pigs.

Billy shakes his head with his smirk still glued on his face. Danielle grabs her torch and quickly makes her way to Jeff. She places her torch in front of him.

‘‘‘‘‘Jeff:’’’’’ Danielle, the tribe has spoken.

Before Jeff snuffs Danielle’s torch, she is already walking out of Tribal. Kelly can only shake her head, embarrassed for Danielle. Jeff then turns to Corvo.

Jeff:  Well you got rid of the person you thought would hinder you getting in good with the other tribe. Let’s see how that pays off. Because you came to Tribal Council, flint will be waiting for you back at camp.

Billy and Asia clap in excitement.

 Jeff:  Head on back to camp, goodnight.

The Corvo tribe get up, grab their things, and leave Tribal as the credits begin to roll.

Voting Confessionals
"corvo"

- You are one insane chick, I hope to never run into you again.

"corvo"

- Pig!

Final Words
"corvo"

- Honestly, I’m glad to be out of the game. My tribe just showed who they are as people by voting me out. I don’t care who wins because I can’t stand anyone left in the game.

Next Time on Survivor...
The rivalry between Riley and Carla continues to grow – “I just want this chick to leave!” – while mother nature comes for a visit – “I just want the rain to stop for five minutes!”
