This Snake Isn't Done Slithering Yet

This is the 5th episode of Survivor: Lombok - Fan Favourites.

Challenges
Reward Challenge: Maat Finish Castaways must race out from the water and across a series of obstacles to collect a bag of balls. They must then attempt to land each ball on a narrow perch. The first tribe to land their balls on the perch wins. Reward: Soaps, shampoos, razors, toothbrushes and toothpaste Winner: TBD

Immunity Challenge: Flying Your Flag The Survivors had to race around a set course by paddling a boat. Along the way they would have to visit several stations, where they would have to complete certain tasks or puzzles in order to receive a tribal flag. The first station is a rope maze, the second station involves diving down to unhook and retrieve a flag, and the third station involves a slide puzzle which, when completed, releases a key that will unlock a decoder that will be used to solve a combination to a box which contains a flag. However, only one person from each tribe would be allowed to compete at each station. The first tribe to have successfully completed each puzzle, gather their flags and race back to the start, would win immunity. Winner: TBD

Night 10
(Following Simon's elimination, the remaining members of Gunung return to camp.)

Kendra: Oh my God, that was a close one! Thank you so much, guys.

Kryshelle: It was no problem, Kendra! I was happy to.

Kendra: Yeah well, I appreciate it!

(The two of them lean their torches against the tree.)

Kryshelle: So, are you and I okay now?

Kendra: Well everything's still fine on your end, isn't it?

Kryshelle: Yes... considering I just voted to keep you.

Kendra: Okay, cool! That's good.

(Kendra walks away without another word. Kryshelle, disheartened, walks over to Johannes, who is also leaning his torch against a tree further down.)

Kryshelle: Are we still down for part two of the plan?

Johannes: Yeah, dude, no sweat.

Kryshelle: Good. I think I'll need to do it.

(Kryshelle walks away, putting her bag in the shelter with a sigh.)

(As Johannes is putting his torch away, he is approached by Byron.)

Byron: So you put your vote on Simon, then?

Johannes: Yeah, dude.

Byron: Ugh, why? Dude, we all told you that we'd be good with you.

Johannes: 'Kay, dude, two things: First, it was 7-4 so like, I couldn't have gotten Si saved even if I wanted. Second, I didn't wanna save Si 'cause he was, like, super whack since day one, man. He hasn't trusted me, he's, like, paranoid and crazy and he accused me of having an idol. Just 'cause he said he was gonna stop don't mean he was gonna stop. I trusted you and Ana and Sash but not Si, and they were like, "Yo, who do you wanna get rid of" and I said Si and that's what they did.

Byron: But the thing is we're in a 6-4 minority now! Like, thanks for saving me this round but we're completely screwed if we go back to Tribal, 'cause they have a 6-4 majority if you're still with us.

Johannes: Dude, I got you, okay? Like I said, it was just Si I didn't trust. And dude, you know I played before, right? (chuckles) I didn't just jump just 'cause. It's only day ten and that group, like, isn't even that tight so just chill.

Byron: (sigh) Are you absolutely sure?

Johannes: Dude, By, I got you, man.

Byron: (long sigh) Alright. But I really don't want to be the next to go, and I don't want Anastacia to be either.

Johannes: Dude, you won't, okay?

Byron: (frustrated) Alright, if you say so. You must really trust that that alliance isn't a big pre-game, huh?

Johannes: Everything is chill, dude, Don't worry.

Byron: Hard not to when they've been voting together since day one, but okay. If you insist.

(With another frustrated sigh, Byron walks away.)

Johannes: Dude... he took that bad.

(Johannes walks over to Sasha and the two go off together.)

Johannes: So, like, that happened.

Sasha: Yeah. I can't say I'm too thrilled that you did what you did but I understand it and I'm glad you told me.

Johannes: Of course, dude, I said I would. Now By might not trust me, though.

Sasha: Don't worry about Byron, I'll talk him 'round. I think he's just frustrated. You're still confident in that plan, working?

Johannes: One hundred. it's Kennie next, no doubt.

Sasha: Then I'll take care of Byron, and before you ask your next question, you and I are still one hundred percent solid.

Johannes: Sweet. Thanks, Sash.

Sasha: I'm not betraying you, ever. Don't forget that.

Johannes: Got it, dude.

(The two of them part ways. The camera focuses on Sasha as her confessional is played over the top.)

Reward Challenge:
Jeff: Come on in, guys!

(The Rinjani Tribe walks in, followed by the Gunung Tribe.)

Jeff: Rinjani, getting your first look at the Gunung Tribe. Simon voted out at the last Tribal Council.

Raphael: That's four men in a row...

(The Gunung Tribe stand on their mats.)

Jeff: Before we get to the challenge, we have some business to take care of. Jason, would you consider the mutiny a breath of fresh air for you?

Jason: Oh yes, it was just what I needed,

Jeff: And would you consider yourself settling in well?

Jacob: (whispering) Oh, God, this is gonna end badly...

Jason: Well, yes, Jeff, this tribe has been lovely to me.

Jeff: Well, unfortunately for you, you can never get too settled on Survivor. You're all returning players and we think you can handle anything we throw at you. Even though we mutnied only the last cycle, it's time to... drop your buffs, because we are switching tribes!

(The cast have a mostly happy and disbelieving reaction to this as they drop their buffs, with the exception of Kendra, who immediately scowls and throws her buff on the ground.)

Kendra: What is the point of having a mutiny if it's just going to last for one round?

Jeff: And Kendra is not happy!

Kendra: Every single season I compete in, they swap for one round and then something else happens... ugh.

Jeff: Well, like it or not, we're swapping, and it's time to pick your buffs.

(He takes out one large plate consisting of wrapped cloths.)

Jeff: Take one, don't look at it until I tell you to.

(One by one, Jeff takes the buffs around and everyone picks one.)

Jeff: On the count of three, open your buffs and reveal. One... two... three...

(Everyone opens their buffs. It is discovered that Hazel has a gunung buff. She looks behind her only to discover, to her dismay, that she is the only one on her tribe with a blue buff.)

Hazel: You have got to be kidding me... I'm the only one?

Skanda: Oh, wow... good luck.

(The camera then goes over to the Gunung mat as, to their surprise, most of the Gunung members discover they have the same buffs. This is with the exception of Johannes, who looks down to discover his buff is red.)

Johannes: Oh, wicked.

(Johannes glances over to the other mat, and briefly sees that Skanda has a red buff too.)

Johannes: Oh, God, dude...

(There are only two more red buffs pulled out from the Gunung side, one of which belongs to Kendra.)

Kendra: (pulling out her buff) Ugh...

(Kendra looks on the mat, seeing only two other people on her original tribe with red- Johannes and Byron.)

Kendra: Ugh!

(Horrified, Kendra immediately whips her head around to the other mat. To her absolute sheer horror, she discovers that Samantha also has a red buff.)

Kendra: UGH!

(Jacob looks at his blue buff, and the alliance quickly discover they are all together, with the exception of Kendra.)

Jacob: Uh-oh...

Kendra: Yeah, freaking uh-oh is right!

(Kendra angrily stomps off the mat and heads towards the Rinjani one, Byron and Johannes following. Samantha looks at an angry Kendra storming over there and sighs.)

Samantha: Oh wow...

(The camera cuts to Kendra's confessional as she looks like she wants to murder Probst with her bare hands.)

Jeff: So, after our switch, not much has changed! On the Gunung Tribe, we have only one new member, Hazel, among seven other Gunung members! Hazel, when you see this, what's your initial reaction?

Hazel: Well, on the surface, I just have to hope that I'm not with seven tight people or I'm completely screwed. (laughs)

Jeff: And now we move over to Rinjani, which has almost all its original members except for Hazel, and then three Gunung members- Byron, Kendra and Johannes. Byron, how does it feel to be swapped into such a deep minority?

Byron: Like Hazel said, we just have to hope like Hell that these five people aren't tight and we can find cracks.

Jeff: Okay, with these new tribes switched up, it's time to get to your first challenge and test team unity! You guys ready to get to your first reward challenge as new tribes?

Castaways: Yes!

Jeff: For today's challenge, you'll race out into the water and across a series of obstacles to collect bags of balls. You'll then attempt to land the balls on a perch. The first tribe to get all the balls on their perch wins reward. Wanna know what you're playing for?

Castaways: Yes!

Jeff: The winning tribe will get shampoos, soaps, razors, toothpaste, toothbrushes... all perfect for getting yourselves clean after eleven days out on this island! I'll give you a moment to strategise and then we'll get started.

(The castaways are awaiting Jeff's signal.)

Jeff: For reward... Survivors ready? GO!

Challenge Summary:
 * Gunung takes a slight lead getting to their bag of balls thanks to Anastacia's prowess. The tribes are relatively even getting to the obstacle with the bag of balls.
 * This is where Rinjani falls behind as Kendra gets stuck trying to get the balls down, but Kryshelle manages to get the hang of it and gets the balls down first.
 * Rinjani switches to Byron who manages to make up time as Adrian and Misty work on getting their balls through the netting, They get the hang of it quickly thanks to Adrian figuring out a system. Meanwhile, Byron finishes getting the balls and Samantha and Winona work on getting them through the netting. Gunung extend their lead as Rinjani struggle to get a rhythm going.
 * Shortly afterward, Gunung get all their balls through. Their balls now free, Anastacia takes on shooting. Despite taking a couple of tries with the first ball as she navigates the learning curve, the former college basketball player lands the first ball. Samantha and Winona pick up the pace as they keep trying to get their balls through.
 * Anastacia lands another ball and then another, as the Rinjani tribe finally get everything through. Kimberly takes on the shooting as she tries to catch up. As with Anastacia, she initially struggles before landing her first ball after a few tries.
 * This does not phase Anastacia, however, as she lands the fourth ball without a problem. Kimberly gets her second, but the gap is too much to make up and Anastacia lands the final ball, giving Gunung the win.

Jeff: GUNUNG WINS REWARD!

(Gunung cheer as the Rinjani members, particularly Kendra, look frustrated. After a little more celebrating, the tribes are back on their mats.)

Jeff: Gunung, you have a new addition to your tribe and you've lost three original members and it appears things are turning around for you as you won the reward with a great mix of brains and brawn! Well done.

(The Gunung Tribe claps.)

Jeff: Rinjani, unfortunately the new tribe hasn't worked out for you yet. I've got nothing for you now but we'll see if you can turn it around at the immunity challenge. Grab your stuff, head back to camp. I'll see you at the next challenge.

(The Rinjani Tribe leave.)

Jeff: Gunung, you've got a great reward waiting for you back at camp! Take the afternoon to freshen up. You guys can head on out.

(All smiles, the Gunung Tribe head back to camp.)

Post-Reward: Winning Tribe
Following their big reward win, the new Gunung Tribe return to camp, excited to get themselves clean.There is excitement as the women immediately race for the shampoo and conditioner, and there are several shots of Misty, Anastacia, Hazel, Sasha and Kryshelle washing themselves in the water, while Adrian and Jason are shown cleaning their teeth, with the latter going for a razor to shave the facial hair grown from eleven days on the island. Jacob is shown to have finish cleaning his teeth and strips down to get into the water, grabbing some soap. He wanders over to Misty.

Jacob: Hey babe, you done with the shampoo?

Misty: Yeah, of course! Have I got any left in my hair?

Jacob: (looking) Nope, you're good!

Misty: Thanks. (smiles) God, this is incredible. I can't wait to get out and brush my teeth and actually have some good-smelling breath for the first time in a week and a half!

Jacob: I went there first and I already feel so great. This reward is amazing. (Looking over at Anastacia) Ana, you absolute queen!

Anastacia: (smiles) Thanks, but it wasn't just me! Adrian and Misty were incredible on the nets, too.

Misty: Well, we couldn't have done it without your amazing shooting! This is the best reward we've had, hands down.

(Misty gets out out of the water and heads over to brush her teeth. The camera focuses on her smile.)

After the cleaning, the tribe is in a very relaxed mood. The castaways are sitting comfortably around camp, relishing in the serenity of the afternoon. All, that is, except for Hazel, who gets up and walks over to Adrian and Jason.

Hazel: Can I speak to you two for a moment?

Adrian: Affirmative.

(The three of them walk off. The camera focuses on Hazel, who wears a look of determination.)

(The camera picks up as the three of them arrive somewhere private.)

Hazel: So... hey, again! (laughs)

Adrian: Greetings, Hazel. I anticipate that you had hoped we would be reunited under more fortunate circumstances.

Hazel: Absolutely. They didn't even have a swap in my season and now I'm glad they didn't if this is how they turn out for me. (laughs) How are the two of you?

Jason: We've been great, fitting in quite comfortably.

Hazel: That's great! So you obviously found your footing here.

Jason: Yeah, they've treated us well.

Hazel: (a little unnerved) Listen, I wanted to apologise again for betraying you and voting Will out. I just felt it was the best move for me and I wish I could have told you, but we had to keep it secret. If you guys are holding some sort of grudge against me and want nothing to do with me, I understand, but I'm very much a free vote at the moment so I'd be willing to do anything.

Adrian: Negative, Hazel. I do not bear resentment towards you, as I am cognizant of the strategic element of this competition.

Jason: Everything's fine. I'm not going to be a child.

Hazel: Okay, great. Is there any chance of us working together?

Adrian: Affirmative. I am a magnanimous individual. I am aware that when we accepted our invitations for an opportunity to be elected to compete in this installment, that there would be instances where the final results of Tribal Councils would not align with the specifications I had adhered to. It is both unreasonable and unfathomable to expect nineteen other individuals to compete with the sole purpose of declaring you the victor.

Hazel: That's really great to hear! So what are things like for you?

Adrian: I would describe our strategic partnership as stable. We experienced extreme fortune with the switching of allegiances, as most of us remained members of Gunung. Presently, as the partnership stands, we would obtain a majority. With your inclusion, we would extend this furhter. I would, as previously stated, be incredibly willing to resume a strategic partnership.

Hazel: Wow, that's the best news I've had today! Jason, you're okay with this?

Jason: If it's what the alliance wants.

Adrian: Hazel, I must stress that I am not being deceptive in informing you of this. As long as I am an active participant on this tribe, you shan't be worried of elimination, as I shall do my utmost to prevent it.

Hazel: Thanks so much. I appreciate it.

Adrian: You are welcome. I am hopeful we will be able to strengthen our interpersonal bond in the near future.

Hazel: Me, too. I'm honestly shocked you're being so open and forgiving.

Adrian: Negative, negative. It is a competition and you will not favour yourself by remaining angry with any individuals competing.

Hazel: Exactly. Oh my gosh, thank you so much, again!

(They part ways.)

Jason: Are you sure that was a wise idea?

Adrian: Affirmative.

(The camera cuts to Adrian's confessional after focusing on his satisfied smile.)

(Following Adrian's confessional, the camera picks up as Hazel returns to camp. Anastacia approaches her.)

Anastacia: Hey! Nice to finally be on the same tribe.

Hazel: Yeah, true! And from the looks of things you're still the same beast from Eyre Peninsula. It's good to see you back again.

Anastacia: Thanks. It's good to be back after all this time and how things ended.

Hazel: I can't imagine how hard it must have been to get pulled.

Anastacia: Oh, extremely, but if I do well enough to at least say I finished what I started this time, I'll be happy! Speaking of, could the two of us have a talk?

Hazel: Absolutely!

(The two of them head down to the beach, with the camera focusing on a nervous Anastacia.)

Hazel: So, is this a "Hey Hazel, I'm stuck up creek without a paddle and I need your help" talk? (laughs)

Anastacia: Well... yes. But I did want to at least talk to you first instead of beeping around like some strategy-obsessed robot.

Hazel: Well, aside from supposedly being in the minority, how is the second time treating you?

Anastacia: It's been great. Won't lie, things started out crazily paranoid but then slowly got better and now have dipped slightly with this swap. But overall I'm connecting more and not finding myself forced to play hard from the get-go.

Hazel: That's great!

Anastacia: How are things for you, being the winner and all?

Hazel: They've been good so far. Like you I'm not thrilled about the swap, but things over on Rinjani were good. I was aligned with Adrian and Jason before their ally got voted out and they mutinied, By the way, can I ask, what they said about me coming over here?

Anastacia: If I can ask how close you are with them, sure.

Hazel: We were aligned and I have spoken to them since coming back here.

Anastacia: Oh God...

Hazel: What?

Anastacia: Okay, to answer your first question, Adrian has said diddly squat to me strategically since we came here, but Jason pinned it all on Skanda and Samantha. Accurate perception?

Hazel: Yes, definitely. It's a relief to not have my name thrown out. What's the second part to all this?

Anastacia: The biggest thing that's plaguing this tribe is the pre-game. It's between Jacob, Kendra and Misty, and Adrian's a big part of it as well now. The question marks are Jason and Kryshelle, because now that Kendra's gone we don't know how tight she is with them. And we don't exactly know where Jason fits into all this, either, because he came over with Adrian, voted with them last time, but also had some sort of beef with Kendra and doesn't really have any close connections with them. It more or less depends how close he is with Adrian...?

Hazel: They are incredibly close.

Anastacia: Incredibly, meaning...?

Hazel: Meaning we had a guaranteed 9-1 on Adrian before Jason ran around to everyone trying to save him and got it turned into a 6-2-2 against the person they wanted gone.

Anastacia: So we're really stuck then, if they're not going to break apart.

Hazel: So you're basically telling me it's an inseparable four I'd be walking into?

Anastacia: That's exactly what I'm telling you. I don't know how much you know about the pre-game but if you watched Bermuda it's plain as day that those three were best friends and if Jason's inseparable from Adrian he's being sucked in by association. He wouldn't vote with us last vote.

Hazel: So it's either 4-4 or 5-3 with Kryshelle a possibility?

Anastacia: Yeah, it'd us and Sasha definitely, pretty sure we could get Kryshelle too. Listen, call me a sycophant if you want for this, but I'm being genuine. If we make it out of this I'd really like to work with you long-term. From the looks of things you lost a few allies on that side, right?

Hazel: I lost a few people I'd voted with, yes.

Anastacia: And I pretty much need all the help I can get, because if we keep beating them like we did they're gonna keep going to Tribal. We could both lose some close allies, and I really am worried these guys are gonna throw and knock me out before the merge.

Hazel: Well I'd be more than happy to work with you, especially with things shifting around now. The both of us need as much stability and support as we can, and if they decide to throw I'll probably be told, so I'll let you know and keep them safe.

Anastacia: Thanks so much. I really hope we can work together long term.

(The two of them confirm things and head back to camp, with the camera focusing on a smiling Hazel.)

 * rowspan="2" |Things are looking a little better for me than when I came here. I thought I was screwed, but both Adrian and Anastacia have said they're willing to work with me and they're on opposite sides. Both of them pretty much told me the same thing about alliances so I know where people sit, for the most part. I definitely would like to keep Anastacia and Adrian in the game for as long as I can because they're options I can work with moving forward. As far as I'm concerned I can go two places if we end up going to Tribal; I can absorb myself into the majority and just make sure I can get to the merge, or I can go with those outside of it and try and make something of it. The important thing for me is keeping relationships up to keep the target off myself and what that entails remains to be seen. To think a couple of hours ago I thought I'd be the next to go. (laughs) It'll take more than a swap to knock me out. This snake isn't done slithering yet!
