I Lied, So What?

This is the eleventh episode of Survivor: Kenya

Previously On Survivor...

 * Devastated by Lynsie's betrayal, Rachael quickly learns that she's on the outside of a majority alliance. When hope seems bleak, Corinne emerges as a friend stating she wants to flip the game on the duos, in particular the two running the show, Lynsie and Johnathan.
 * When Rachael won yet another immunity challenge, Corinne scrambled to save herself by approaching Dan. Although Dan's vote was not enough, and he had to turn to his closest ally, Shaun, to vote with them. However at tribal council, Shaun refused to flip resulting in a tie. After the revote it was clear neither side was budging, and it was Johnathan who was eliminated from the game after drawing rocks. 5 remain, who will be voted out tonight?

Night 32
It's a lively night. An owl perched not too far from camp, could be heard echoing throughout the forest. Frogs, beetles, and mosquito's all join the winged creature as an orchestra of sound in the night. Just then, the castaways return to camp, and exchanged awkward, forced hugs.

Corinne gives Lynsie a hug, and reminds her that it's just a game. Lynsie gives a half grin and tells her that it's fine and she understands. Dan however cannot even bring himself to look at Shaun, and Shaun can feel the anger radiating from his body. Rachael reminds everyone that this is what they had signed up for, and that they're each one of the five remaining people left standing.

Rachael: There's eleven other people who want to be in our shoes right now, guys! Relax, soak it in, enjoy! We're one of the last five in this game, holy crap, that's crazy! Don't let sour feelings ruin the moment for you!

A statement that seemed quite rich to Dan considering the way Rachael had spoken to Lynsie just after the previous tribal council before.

Everyone heads to bed. It's a cooler night than what they've experienced, so everyone's forced to put their feelings aside, and cuddle up with the person next to them, regardless of how much they might not like them at the moment. Each knowing that this will turn out to all be worth it for one of them. Just another mere 7 days left of the game, they're all so close they can each picture themselves winning in their heads, clearer than ever.

Day 33
The next morning Dan's the first one up, and he takes a seat next to the fire. Slouched over with his head laying in his hands for support, he stares into the flames, losing track of time. Rachael's the second person to awake, and she sits cross legged on the ground next to him. She personally thanks him for voting with her the night before, and notes she's unsure if this has turned into an official allegiance to one another, but wants him to know either way she is extremely thankful.

The two talk, and Dan shares with Rachael that for the past few days Shaun has been rationing her food, giving her less than everyone else. Rachael is quite taken back by this information, and quickly becomes livid.

Rachael walks over to the shelter and grabs his foot, which is slightly sticking off the platform, and starts shaking it, demanding that he wakes up.

Shaun (In a daze): What the hell is going on, Rachael?!

Rachael: What the hell is this nonsense about you rationing my food, huh? That's not strategy, Shaun we're starving as it is. That's just messed up!

Shaun: What the (bleep) are you talking about, is this seriously what this is all about?

Rachael: Don't try to dismiss me, I cannot believe you've been doing that. That's just so scummy!

Shaun: Rachael, please not now. I'm tired.

Rachael: And I'm hungry! God forbid I ask for an apology!!

And with that, Rachael stomps out of camp. Shaun just stays there, sitting up. From his vantage point, he can clearly see Dan, who was silently watching the whole thing. By this point everyone else has been awoken as well.

Shaun: Thanks. Thanks a lot, dude.

Dan continues sitting with no reply. Shaun just lays back down, and pulls the covers up over himself to try and go back to sleep.

Rachael sits alone on the beach, with her knees in the air and her head resting on them. She lifts her head up, to reveal she has been crying. She wipes her tears, and runs her hand throughout her hair, stopping half way through.
