Grand Theft Survivor/Post-Immunity

This is the second part of the fourth episode of Survivor: Mauritius. I strongly recommend reading the first part of the episode first, which can be found here.

Le Morne
The next scene fades in to show the Le Morne tribe returning from camp in relatively high spirits due to their victory over the Aapravasi tribe. However, several members of the tribe, especially Gabby and Leilani, appear more nervous than the others. The camera focuses on Isaiah, who has a wide smile on his face as he sets his immunity necklace by the shelter and accepts congratulations from his fellow tribe members. The scene cuts to his confessionals."lemorne"

- Winnin' immunity today was super important. Not because I'm safe tonight, although that's a plus - because I stopped Sadie from winnin'. Deidre has been talkin' about wantin' to blindside her if we go to Tribal again, and although my heart ain't set on that 100%, I wanted to keep that option open for my secret final three alliance with Deidre and Ty. I've also proven to my tribe that I'm an asset 'round here, which should hopefully keep me from gettin' taken out in the near future. Everybody here wants to keep our winnin' streak goin' strong, so I feel like this immunity win has bought me safety for more than just this round. (smiles)

Following Isaiah's confessional, he is shown walking up to Deidre and Tyrone, who are sitting next to each other on the beach. He takes a seat next to his two allies, and immediately, the conversation shifts to strategy.

Tyrone: So, what are we thinking for tonight?

Deidre: (shrugs) Honestly... it might be time to take Sadie out of here, once and for all. She's just too big of a threat in my eyes, and I'm startin' to get really sick of her.

Isaiah nods approvingly in response to the plan, while Tyrone wrinkles his brow and shakes his head.

Tyrone: I just think she's too much of an asset for us. She nearly won individual immunity today! She's one of our strongest members, so taking her out would put the other tribe on an equal playing field with us. None of us should want that.

Deidre raises an eyebrow in annoyance with Tyrone's hesitance, even if she understands the reasoning behind it.

Deidre (Assertive): I understand that you and her are close, Ty, and it can be hard to vote somebody off when there's a bond of friendship in the way. But this is Survivor, and it involves makin' these difficult decisions. Sadie's gonna have to go eventually if we want to be the final three, so why not take advantage of the chance we have right now?

Tyrone (Stern): I really think Gabby needs to go home. She's lazy, rude, and weak in challenges. There is no reason to keep her around any longer. (crosses his arms) We'd have the numbers to get rid of Sadie next time! Like, it would be so easy to get Leilani and Heather on board after Gabby's gone.

A bit surprised to see Tyrone asserting himself in a strategic conversation, Isaiah raises an eyebrow and smiles slightly, while Deidre crosses her arms in disapproval with his arguments and hesitations.

Isaiah: I think Tyrone has a point. Gabby is bringin' this tribe down, both physically and socially. Sadie might be a physical threat, and she might be a bit gratin', but her strength is also helpin' us win challenges. We've only lost one challenge so far, and Tyrone is right that we should keep that momentum goin'.

Realizing she's being outvoted, Deidre frowns and stares off into the ocean as she contemplates on what to say next. After a few moments of awkward silence, she lets out a sigh.

Deidre: I didn't want to say this, but Isaiah, I think you should know that Sadie has the Hidden Immunity Idol.

Isaiah's jaw drops in surprise and amazement while Tyrone instantly stiffens his posture to signal that he is both uncomfortable and unhappy with Deidre's decision to leak Sadie's idol to Isaiah. He rolls his eyes dramatically as Isaiah's eyes go wide.

Isaiah (Surprised): Oh my God... that changes everythin'. If she has an idol, then how will we even get rid of her? What if she finds out and gets rid of one of us?

Deidre (Reassuringly): I've thought long 'n' hard about this, Isaiah, trust me. I have a plan to get that idol out of her grubby little paws.

Intrigued, Isaiah leans in towards Deidre to hear her plan while Tyrone's eyes go wide in shock. As Deidre begins elaborating on her plan to deal with Sadie's idol, the scene cuts to his confessional."lemorne"

- Deidre is seriously scaring me. Like, what has gotten into that girl? (laughs nervously) Out of nowhere, she's decided she hates Sadie and is making all of these crazy plots against her. I was okay with it at first because it was a final three alliance for me, but Sadie is one of my closest friends here and Deidre is just dropping that she has an idol to anybody who will listen. I trust Isaiah, so it's not that bad, but I didn't agree to the Sadie plan! I certainly didn't agree to spread the rumor of her idol around camp! I've just been losing more and more trust in Deidre over the past few days, and it's gotten to the point where I almost want to vote her off. (shakes his head) The fact is, Gabby is the weakest overall person on this tribe, and with how irritating she is, she has to go. I'm not accepting any other outcome for tonight.

Deidre: If I tell her that people are turning on us and that I'm the target, I can try to convince her that I need her idol, she'll hopefully give it to me, and then we can vote her off without any trouble.

Isaiah (Unsure): Are you positive that will work?

Deidre: (shrugs) No, but if she thinks the votes are going to me and not her, she'll hopefully not play the idol even if she doesn't give it to me. It's definitely risky, but it's even more risky to let her play the idol on herself and foil our plan.

Isaiah: Well, if Sadie has an idol, then she's definitely a bigger threat than I originally thought. Maybe gettin' rid of her is the right choice tonight.

As Tyrone appears to zone out of the conversation, Isaiah has an eyebrow raised, appearing deep in thought about the plan Deidre is proposing. As both men think about the events of the upcoming Tribal Council, the scene cuts to Deidre's confessional as she smiles widely, appearing proud with herself."lemorne"

- Honestly, with how much she's been pissin' me off lately, gettin' rid of Sadie isn't enough for me. I want to get rid of her and get the last laugh by keepin' her idol for myself! (laughs deviously) Operation: Grand Theft Survivor has officially been put into motion, and I couldn't be more excited about it. I just need to get Gabby, Leilani, Heather, and hopefully Nigel on board, and we'd have the numbers no matter what to kick her off. That should be easy, as I bet Gabby thinks her time is up tonight. She'd be willin' to do anything to keep herself alive. I'm happy to finally be playin' this game instead of hidin' in the background. It just feels so good! (laughs)

Following Deidre's confessional, the scene cuts to Gabby, Leilani, Nigel, and Heather walking together through the jungle. As they walk, the camera focuses on Gabby, who appears significantly more nervous than the rest of her alliance, before cutting to her confessional."lemorne"

- Throughout the past five or so days, Leilani and Nigel have been talking about their plans to get control of the tribe, and they're convinced they have Isaiah and Calvin in the palms of their hands, but I just don't buy it. Sadie and Tyrone are both so physically strong that I can't see anybody flipping to get rid of them with our winning streak. Compared to them and pretty much everybody else here, I'm really physically weak, and the other side has made it clear that they hate me. I know I'm a target tonight, and to me, tonight just feels hopeless. I just can't see anybody flipping! I hope I'm wrong, but I feel like I'm not. (sighs) I didn't come out here to get 17th place, but unfortunately, that might be unavoidable at this point.

Gabby: (sighs) I feel like it's me tonight, guys. Those other people seem too tight, even if they have their own side deals. Like, Sadie and Tyrone are two of the strongest people here, and I don't think anybody would want to vote Deidre off.

Leilani and Nigel exchange an amused glance with each other at Gabby's pessimism before Nigel lets out a chuckle, which clearly rubs Gabby the wrong way.

Nigel: Dude, those people are pissed at each other right now. Calvin feels completely betrayed by Deidre, Isaiah, and Tyrone. You know about the three of them forming a final three deal, right?

Gabby nods, but appears ticked off that Nigel is invalidating her concerns about being the next person voted out of the tribe.

Nigel (Continuing): I told Calvin about it, and he's super upset. There's a huge chance he'd make a move against one of them.

Leilani (Adding in): Plus, Isaiah has always talked about the weird vibes he gets from Tyrone. If Calvin is pissed at Tyrone, and Isaiah feels uncomfortable with him, then that'd be an easy six votes against him, right?

Heather: (smiles) Yeah, and if Sadie thinks people are flipping, she probably thinks they'd flip on her, and she's the one that has the Hidden Immunity Idol. She's not going to play it on Tyrone; she's too selfish and knows exactly how big of a target she is.

Although Nigel and Leilani nod in agreement with Heather's assessment of the risks of their plan, Gabby frowns, crossing her arms as she appears unconvinced by their arguments.

Gabby (Concerned): It's just, even if Calvin is angry with Tyrone and Isaiah gets bad vibes from him, he's probably the strongest person on our entire tribe, and, hell, maybe in the entire game. I'm not good in challenges! I just don't know if there's enough to convince them to flip.

Leilani shakes her head slightly as she puts her hand on Gabby's shoulder.

Leilani: It's worth a try, okay?

Gabby nods sadly, understanding that, despite her hesitations and frustrations with her allies, she has no choice but to go with the plan to get people on their side. As Leilani reassures her ally, Nigel sees Isaiah walking up to the group.

Isaiah (Humbly): Hey, guys... do you mind if we talk?

As Gabby appears surprised to see Isaiah wanting to speak with her and her alliance, the camera focuses on Leilani, who has a wide smile on her face upon seeing Isaiah walk up to their group. As he begins talking, the scene cuts to her confessional."lemorne"

- Isaiah has definitely been the person I've talked to the most in the past few days - hell, even more than I've talked to Nigel and Gabby! (smiles) At first, it was from a game perspective. I thought he'd be the easiest to flip, and we needed that fifth number to survive. But as I got to know him, I've grown to love him on a personal level. He's such a sweet guy with a heart of gold and he's really funny too boot! And, I can't lie, I love his sweet Southern accent. (giggles) So, to see him walking up to my alliance and wanting to talk about the vote, well, that makes me really happy! I want to work with people I love, and with Gabby starting to get on my nerves, seeing Isaiah potentially willing to work with me strategically is definitely a breath of fresh air. (smiles)

Isaiah: What are you guys thinkin' for tonight?

Heather: (shrugs) We haven't really come to a concrete decision, but we were debating between Tyrone or Deidre. We're willing to hear any ideas you have, though. (smiles)

Isaiah: Well, truth be told, Deidre wants to get rid of Sadie tonight, and I think that might be worth goin' for. As much as I hate to say it, the girl has an idol and that makes her a huge threat. Plus, with how rude she can be sometimes, it might be better for our morale to send her packin' even if she's strong in a physical sense. (sighs) That bein' said, I can't lie. Tyrone gives me weird vibes, and Deidre has been kinda shifty lately. I'm down for writin' any of their names down.

All four members of the minority alliance fake shock at the "news" that Sadie has an idol, as they all know from Gabby and Leilani that she found the idol before their first Tribal Council.

Leilani (Worried): What if Sadie plays her idol? It'll be one of us going home.

Nigel: Well, I know that Calvin has his reservations about Tyrone and Deidre, so we could try to split the votes. Isaiah, do you think Calvin would be willing to vote for Tyrone tonight? I know for a fact he won't vote Sadie.

Isaiah: (shrugs) I don't know. I can ask him about it, though. He doesn't have to know that the votes are gettin' split. Although I hate to lie to him, I could tell him that the plan is to go for Tyrone and that I'm already set on flippin'. That way, he'll kinda be forced to make a move.

Heather (Excited): That's great! That way, Sadie might also be voting for Tyrone since she and Calvin are close. Then, all five of us should be safe for tonight.

Nigel: (smiles) So, it's a plan, then? We're splitting the votes? Sadie, Calvin, Heather, and myself can vote for Tyrone, while Deidre votes with Gabby, Leilani, and Isaiah against Sadie. We can easily get rid of Sadie on the re-vote, but if she plays her idol, then Tyrone goes home.

Gabby (Nervously): Isaiah, you're good with that?

Isaiah: Yeah, of course. I'll tell you guys if Calvin's not on board or if Deidre decides not to vote Sadie, though, so we don't have to worry about the split failin'.

Leilani: Keep us updated, Isaiah! (smiles)

As Isaiah leaves the four members of the "minority" alliance behind, presumably to talk with Calvin about the vote, the camera focuses on Nigel, who is smiling proudly at the fact that things are beginning to fall into place for his alliance. The scene then cuts to Nigel's confessional."lemorne"

- This is f***ing crazy! I was ready to beg and plead for Calvin's vote tonight, but Isaiah just struts up to us and tells us that he's willing to vote for pretty much everybody in his old alliance. That's what I call music to my ears! (smiles) Granted, it's not a given that he'll flip, but considering he's taking the initiative and promising to get other people on board with the plan, I think I trust him. At least, I trust him enough to be willing to split the votes. If he and his alliance were staying loyal, there'd be no reason for him to try and get us to split our votes because we're in the minority already. For now, the plan is to get rid of Sadie tonight, or Tyrone if she plays an idol. I'm not ecstatic about the idea since I told Calvin I'd go for one of the people that made the secret alliance tonight, but since I'm voting for Tyrone, the blood isn't on my hands tonight. I just hope it all works out in the end and my alliance with Leilani can stay intact.

Following Nigel's confessional, Isaiah is shown walking up to Calvin, who is chatting with Sadie by the water well. As he approaches the two allies, the scene cuts to his confessional once more."lemorne"

- Well, now, everythin's a complete and utter mess. I thought it'd be a simple plan, with Deidre, Tyrone, and I either stayin' loyal by votin' Gabby out or makin' a move by votin' Sadie out. Now, the votes are gettin' split, Tyrone's a target, and God knows what else is goin' on! (laughs) The thing is, I don't really trust Deidre or Tyrone very much, so I'm not thrilled about workin' with 'em. Sure, Sadie's a threat, and her idol's concernin', but I'd rather keep my bond with Cal together than make some huge move against a power player this early in the game. I need to get his opinion on what's goin' on around here before I decide what's really worth doin'. If he wants Gabby out, then I think we can all convince Deidre to suck it up and vote her off. If he wants Tyrone or Deidre, then it's a done deal in my books. I just hope I can figure somethin' out of this chaos. (laughs nervously)

After Isaiah's confessional, he is shown joining the strategic conversation Calvin is having. He appears to consider pulling him aside and away from Sadie, but just shrugs and stays put.

Sadie (Continuing an unheard argument): ...And that's why Gabby needs to go tonight. As shady as everybody is being, we need strength and we need good work ethic, and Gabby gives us none of that.

As Calvin nods, he and Sadie both notice Isaiah and smile.

Calvin: What's up, man? We were just discussing the vote. We think Gabby should be going home tonight. She doesn't really gel with any of us, she doesn't help around camp, and she's useless physically. There is no reason to get rid of anybody over her tonight.

Isaiah: I think you're gonna change your mind after I tell you guys what just happened.

A bit concerned, Calvin raises an eyebrow while Sadie crosses her arms, already knowing what Isaiah might tell her.

Isaiah: (sighs) Sadie, Deidre got me and Tyrone with her and told us she wants you out tonight.

Wholly unsurprised, Sadie just rolls her eyes and shakes her head, annoyed with the situation but not finding it particularly shocking to hear.

Isaiah: She also told me that you have the Hidden Immunity Idol.

Calvin acts surprised to hear this, as if he didn't know about Sadie's idol to keep up appearances. Sadie notices Calvin's fake surprise and resists the urge to smile to herself, instead balling up her hands into fists out of pure rage.

Sadie (Angry): Are you f***ing kidding me!? That bitch told you about my idol!? (groans) Ugh, I cannot stand that old hag! (crosses her arms) She's going home tonight. I am done with her s***!

Seeing Sadie's anger with the situation, particularly directed at Deidre, Isaiah lets out a sigh and hangs his head down.

Isaiah: The thing is, (sighs) I talked with the minority, and they don't want her out. They want Tyrone gone.

Sadie: (shrugs) That's fine by me! He's a traitor in my books, too, and a liar to boot. As long as Deidre gets outta here sooner rather than later, I have no problem with sending his ass home!

Calvin, however, raises an eyebrow at Sadie's enthusiasm regarding sending Tyrone home.

Calvin (Unsure): The problem is, Tyrone is so strong in challenges, while Deidre is probably our weakest member. It's either her or Gabby, at least. (sighs) Plus, it seems like Deidre is the one doing the untrustworthy s***, so it might be worth it to send her home instead to nip this in the bud once and for all.

Isaiah (Dishonest): Well, she and Ty tried to pull me into a three-person alliance to get rid of you, Sadie, and they seemed equal parts responsible. I mean, Deidre wants her out more, but they both seemed just as enthusiastic about the alliance. I also just get really bad vibes from Ty, and I have from the start. He just irks me, I guess.

As Calvin nods, doing his best to understand where Isaiah is coming from, Sadie finds the explanation satisfactory as she puts her hands on the hips.

Sadie (Matter-of-factly): Tyrone has got to go tonight, then. I almost expected this coming from Deidre, she's been flaky for a while now. But I thought Tyrone was one of my closest friends and allies out here! To hear that he wants me out... it makes me sick.

Isaiah: Well, if you guys change your mind, let me now. I plan on writing his name down tonight, and I'm guessing you do too.

Both Calvin and Sadie nod, although Sadie is much more enthusiastic in doing so. Seeing this as enough confirmation, Isaiah leaves the area, letting them think about what he has just told them. As he leaves the area, the scene cuts to Sadie's confessional."lemorne"

- The fact that Deidre and Tyrone have been plotting against me and that Deidre told Isaiah about my idol makes me absolutely furious! I trusted both of them with my life, and as soon as they get the chance, they decided to backstab me. Well, I'm done with them! They way I see it, I can live with Gabby being annoying for another few days if it means Deidre and Tyrone get the dose of karma they so desperately need. (groans) I should've known to never trust anybody out here, but I got foolish and paraded my idol around to way too many people that I just can't trust. The minority alliance wants to vote Tyrone off, and trust me, I am more than happy to do business with them if it means the greater evil can finally get the f*** out of here. Tonight will be the last night his torch is lit, and Deidre will have three miserable days to think about what she's done before she follows suit.

Following Sadie's confessional, the scene focuses on Calvin, who looks a bit more unsure and decently concerned.

Calvin: Are you sure that we should go through with the idea? I mean, sure he's untrustworthy, but Tyrone's the strongest person here, maybe minus you and Isaiah.

Sadie: (shrugs) I'm as competitive as they come, but even I don't give a s***. We have enough strength as it is with how pitiful Aapravasi is, so why even bother keeping him? We don't need him to win. Deidre's weaker, sure, but my name is on the chopping block. If I hear another name, then I'm going to pounce on it.

Understanding that Sadie is angry with Tyrone and that she's in danger for the vote, Calvin decides to drop his argument, although he does stiffen his posture slightly to signal he doesn't fully agree.

Calvin: (sighs) You're right. Beggars can't be choosers. I just hope this decision doesn't bite us in the ass.

Sadie (Sympathetic): I get that you feel betrayed by Deidre, too. She's gone next, okay? I want her out as much as we do. We just need to go with this plan for now. It's fallen into our lap. With those two betraying us, we're the minority now. We need to do what we can to avoid falling into such a position.

Calvin nods, agreeing with Sadie that their options are limited due to the betrayal by Deidre and Tyrone. As the two of them begin heading back towards the main area of camp to start packing up for Tribal Council, the scene cuts to his confessional."lemorne"

- I'm not the hugest fan of the new plan for tonight. Tyrone is a really strong asset for us as a tribe, and getting rid of that might put us at a disadvantage. Sadie's not as concerned about that, though, because she feels we have enough strength as it is and she feels personally betrayed by Tyrone and in danger of going home. It's a bit weird to me, as it seems from what Isaiah said that Deidre did most of the betrayal, but at the same time, if there's a four-person alliance willing to vote an adversary off, it's hard to pass that up. I'm just hoping that this decision doesn't spell the end of the Le Morne tribe's dominance, as I've enjoyed being on the winning team so far. (shrugs) Either way, somebody untrustworthy is going home, so how much can I really complain?

Following Calvin's confessional, a brief time skip occurs, showing the castaways as they are beginning to pack up to get ready for the upcoming Tribal Council. The scene focuses specifically on Leilani and Gabby as they pack their belongings, with Gabby still appearing somewhat nervous.

Leilani (Supportive): You'll be okay tonight, Gabs. The other alliance is in shambles tonight; ther'es no way they'll stick together.

Gabby: (sighs) I just hope Isaiah's telling us the truth.

As Gabby begins shoving her belongings into her bag, the scene cuts to her confessional."lemorne"

- It seemed like a done deal before today that I'd be going home if we lost a challenge, but now, Deidre and Tyrone are trying to get rid of Sadie, which gives those of us in the minority a chance to fight back. Still, this is all coming from Isaiah, somebody who is in the majority alliance. For all we know, this could be some elaborate ruse to get us to split our votes. He's a really nice guy and comes off as trustworthy, but knowing that it's me leaving if the majority doesn't split, I can't help but feel nervous for tonight anyways. (sighs) If I do survive tonight, it definitely opens up new opportunities for me, but I don't want to keep my hopes up too much in case things don't go according to plan.

Following Gabby's confessional, the scene focuses on Isaiah as he walks up to the two young women. The three of them are shown engaging in a very serious and in-depth conversation, although the words that they are saying are not revealed to the audience. As they continue talking intensely about the upcoming vote, the scene cuts to Isaiah's confessional."lemorne"

- Y'know, before this afternoon, I was fine with sendin' Sadie home and keepin' my three-person alliance with Deidre and Ty alive, but now, I'm honestly not sure! When I talked to Calvin and Sadie, the shock and betrayal they felt, especially from Sadie, showed me that they're loyal people. I don't think they'd be backstabbers, honestly, while Ty and Deidre have both proven themselves to be exactly that. I'm wondering if we're making a mistake with sendin' Sadie outta here. Then again, she's hurting the tribe's morale with her rude behavior towards certain individuals, and if I switch up the plan, people are gonna look at me as the untrustworthy one. I want to play a careful and more quiet game, but considerin' what's been goin' on 'round here lately, that seems harder and harder to accomplish! (laughs nervously) Tonight, I need to do what's best for my game, and I can't let personal feelings interfere.

Finally, the scene shows Deidre walking up to Nigel and Heather, who are packing their last few belongings. Seeing her approaching, they do their best to give her a fake smile.

Deidre: Did Isaiah tell you what the plan is?

Heather: (smiles) Yeah. Sadie tonight, right?

Deidre (Relieved): Okay, good. Glad you're on the same page. She's just too much of a threat to keep around any longer, and I feel we'd all be better off gettin' rid of the sour apple.

Nigel: (nods) We totally agree.

Satisfied, Deidre packs her last few things and grabs her torch in preparation of leaving for Tribal Council. As she and the other castaways, with torches in hand, begin to leave the area for Tribal, the scene cuts to her confessional."lemorne"

- Tonight, Sadie's dictatorial reign of terror is finally over on this tribe. She's been makin' life hell for several of us since the start, and seein' her continue to have a power position on the tribe has made me sick! I think I've laid out the many reasons why she needs to go, and with a minority alliance that's eager to spring on any chance at survival, it should be easy to send her home tonight. I have trust in my final three alliance and in Nigel to go through with what I've suggested, and, should everythin' go accordin' to plan, eight of us will head back here without that egotistical CEO in our midst! (smiles deviously)

At the conclusion of Deidre's confessional, a brief shot shows Sadie hastily shoving her Hidden Immunity Idol into the bottom of her bag when nobody's looking. Following this shot, she is shown filing out of camp with the rest of the castaways. The camera zooms out rapidly for a moment before the scene fades to black.
