When I'm Gone, I'll Still Be Here

When I'm Gone, I'll Still Be Here is the ninth episode of Survivor: Athletes vs. Artists vs. Academics.

Night 20
The castaways enter camp. Rihpo goes off by themselves. Nicki is clearly unhappy.

Nicki: Damn, guys. I didn't think you would actually go through with it.

Dustin: If I didn't agree to vote with them, there was a good chance that one of the four of us would be gone.

Nicki: I just can't see the logic! Why would you put yourself at the bottom of another alliance?

Zachariah: We weren't. As far as I'm concerned, i'm not part of their little alliance.

Grayson: Exactly. We were just working with them for one vote.

Nicki: But why would you sacrifice one of your own?

Dustin: Honestly, Nicki. I don't see what you don't get about this. If we didn't vote Darrah, they might've voted one of us out.

Nicki: I just don't get it. I'm done talking to you.

Zachariah: Nicki-

Nicki: Nope! Not talking!

Day 21
Jeff: Come on in, guys!

The castaways enter the challenge area.

Jeff: Ready to get to today's reward challenge?

Everyone cheers loudly.

Jeff: For today's challenge, you will be divided into two teams. You will have one hand tied behind your back. One by one, each tribe member will throw out a grappling hook to try to hook five puzzle bags. Once that has been completed, you will attempt to use the pieces to complete a fish puzzle. Wanna know what you're playing for?

Everyone obviously says "Yes!"

Jeff: The winning team will be taken via helicopter to a resort. You will sleep there overnight. Each person will get a king size bed. You will get a feast. You will get massaged. Worth playing for?

Everyone agrees it is.

Jeff: Alright, we'll draw for teams. And we'll get started!
