Sun Rises From The West

Sun Rises From The West is the ninth episode in Survivor: Caroline Islands

Previously On Survivor...
After going down in numbers, Danielle broke out an argument with Michelle after Michelle flipped from her original tribe, causing heated flames, in the reward challenge, it is very obvious that who are on the outs, as the Mazaki three found themselves eliminated first, Andrea ultimately won reward, and chose to share the reward with Bosco and Jordan. They enjoyed a helicopter ride, a feast, a shower in a traditional chef's home, back at camp, the Mazaki alliance once again try to flip Thomas on their side which he is hesitant with. And also, Rachel decide to make a move by blindsiding Andrea for being a social threat, she told this to both the Mazaki alliance and Thomas, despite Thomas is once again hesitant as the Mazaki alliance accepted, but Michelle saw them talking, despite not hearing the plan. After Andrea, Bosco and Jordan came back, the Mazaki alliance's attempt to sway Michelle back went up in flames, despite Michelle warning Andrea, she doesn't feel something is wrong, as Rachel continue to spread her plan. In the immunity challenge, Jordan inched out James for the win, back at camp, Danielle's attempt to talk to Michelle went up in flames, and after the seemingly Gomane alliance decide to split votes between James and Danielle, Jordan who heard Rachel's blindside, decided to rat her plan out to Andrea since Jordan does not trust Rachel, after hearing the plan, Andrea's alliance decide to all vote Rachel, thinking they have the numbers, but however they realized that Thomas does not know the plan of voting Rachel, Andrea turned to the Mazaki three, despite the Mazaki three getting suspicious about the numbers, they discussed of whether to vote Andrea or Rachel. In Tribal Council, the votes were piled up against Rachel, and she was voted off.

"ralane"

- Tonight... was a big mess, definitely, like when the vote was 4-2, I thought that the Mazaki 3 are the swing votes definitely, and when the third vote against me was read, I was like 'Damn, I'm done' and... Rachel goes home, 3 people voted me, which were Rachel, Thomas and... I don't know.

Bosco: Who was the third vote against you?

Andrea: I don't know! Thomas was the second but I have no idea who was the third! Jordan told us the plan, it makes no sense he will renege it, and the Mazaki three voted together, so...

Bosco: Michelle? But why?

Andrea: I don't know! I don't even know if it is her!

Bosco:(sighs) Let's just figure this out, and beware of Michelle...

On the other hand, the Mazaki 3 group together.

Zack:(smiling) Did our plan work?

Danielle:(smiling) I don't know, but the plan went way better than I thought it would be.

"ralane"

- Since we thought that Rachel is likely going regardless, so we all vote Rachel, but I will throw a vote at Andrea, so that she will think someone is not loyal to her, and hopefully cause chaos, but however, there is another vote, so one person is not loyal, but with my, they will think there are two person not loyal, and it will help us.

On the other hand, Thomas can be seen completely shocked as he speaks to Jordan.

"ralane"

- Wow, they counter-blindsided us, they somehow found out our plan and told to Andrea, and this make things worse because then they will realise we are not loyal and we are going soon!

Thomas: Wow... they got us for good.

Jordan:(nodding) I know, when did they even find out about the plan?

Thomas: I don't know! But we fell to deep bottom!

Jordan: It's ok, calm down, we still have a choice.

Thomas: Ok...

"ralane"

- I decide to dump Thomas because I don't want to work with a pussy, glad that someone, I don't know who, cast a third vote for Andrea, that covers me up surely, and glad the move helped me so well. (smiles)

Afterwards, the castaways slowly go to sleep.

Day 25
The camera shows Bosco going to talk with Jordan.

Bosco: Look, pal, we need to talk.

Jordan: What?

Bosco: I am still concerned the fact that there were three votes against Andrea last time, and who cast the third one?

Jordan: I don't know man, if we think clearly the fact that right now, those three from the other tribe are together, and I voted for Andrea, we can get the conclusion of...

Bosco: Michelle did that, but why would she do that?

Jordan: I don't even know why...

"ralane"

- Judging on last night, it really seems like Michelle casted the third vote against Andrea, I guess she isn't really that trust worthy after all, eh?

Bosco: That is why I am here to tell you to look out for Michelle, she can not be trusted.

Jordan: I understand that.

On the other hand, Andrea can be seen talking to Michelle.

Andrea: Did you know what happened last night?

Michelle: Last night was a complete mess, but glad you stayed.

Andrea:(smiling) Glad I stayed too!

Michelle: So who are we going to vote next?

Andrea: Thomas I think, he isn't loyal to us, he voted me.

Michelle: What the... aren't we gunning for James next?

Andrea: We can use them as our decade, as we can't risk Thomas doing something.

Michelle: But what if they play an idol at final 7?

Andrea:(seen thinking) How about this, we will keep spreading the information that they are going next, and have them too paranoid to play it, but we will vote for Thomas and after, they will be idol-less.

Michelle:(seen unhappy) Ok...

"ralane"

- Argh, my original tribe is really bugging and disgusting me, and I want them to go as soon as possible, but, well, now I need to deal with them for three more days.

"ralane"

- Michelle is really a hard guy to read, I can't even tell if she voted for me or Rachel last time, I can't tell at all, but I really need to look out for her.

Afterwards, Danielle, James and Zack are seen together.

James: Ok, so we executed our plan, and now they believe there are 2 people disloyal to them, now what?

Danielle: Lets just split up and talk to each member separately and try to split them apart.

Zack: That is gonna be a great idea, really, that is gonna be a great idea.

Danielle: Here is what are we going to do, I think I will try and go to influence Andrea.

Zack: I am going with you.

James: I am gonna go to Thomas then.

Danielle: Now, who was the one person that voted for Andrea?

James: I think Michelle. As Jordan and Thomas are together.

Zack: Then who will we lure them to vote?

Danielle: To get them and vote Jordan or Thomas obviously, and after, we will gun for Michelle.

James: But what if she has the idol? We still haven't found the idol at our tribe, I think she has it.

Danielle: We will worry about it later...

Zack: Ye got me bud, (places hand on her shoulder) You are really smart.

"ralane"

- It feels really good the fact that I have a really cleva girlfriend as she is really amazin,and yeah, I am gonna do what she says, because it is a realle good idea, time to crack'em from the inside.

On the meantime, Thomas is wandering alone when Bosco walks up to him.

Bosco: You voted Andrea last night right?

Thomas:(nods) Yeah.

Bosco:(yelling) Why would you do that?

Thomas: I have my own moves!

Bosco: I know you have your own moves, thank god that Jordan leaked the plan-

Thomas:(shocked) What did you just say?

Bosco: Jordan leaked the plan and that is how we know.

Thomas: Oh my...

"ralane"

- What the.. Jordan leaked out the plan? The last person left in my original alliance? Did that? Seriously? Oh my, I don't even know what the heck to say!

"ralane"

- And therefore, no one would believe the boy again. Now my plan is to isolate Thomas, Thomas is like me, a grumpy dude, so I figured if I told him the truth, he would go raid andbe mad at him, and we can take him out next.(smiles)

As Thomas is walking around, he ran into James.

James: You look very mad right now.

Thomas:(grumpy) And I am!

James: Wow, what's wrong?

Thomas:(angry) I got freaking betrayed by my nest ally!

James: You mean...

Thomas:(angry) Jordan told you to vote Rachel right? It was Jordan right?

James: No...

Thomas: Tell me the truth! I know it is the truth! Jesh! Just what the was that? Just all of you!

"ralane"

- Wow, Thomas is just like Larry back in the old days, but however, since he is mad, I think I can use it to my advantage...

James: If you are that mad at him, why not vote against him next time?

Thomas: What?

James: If you are that mad at him, why not come with us and vote? They don't want you if they dump you like this.

Thomas:(calming down) Ok, let me think about this.

"ralane"

- Actually, thinking, maybe it is time for me, myself to renege that and go with the Mazaki, I got totally duped by my original tribe, they blindsided me, and they are going to pay for it!

Afterwards, Andrea, Bosco, Danielle and Zack grouped up.

Andrea: What do you want to talk about?

Zack: Isn't it obvious bud? Ye have some guys that ain't loyal to ye. That is why we would like to offer to help.

Bosco:(glaring) You are just trying to save yourselves right?

Danielle: Obviously, but well, Thomas and maybe Michelle aren't loyal to you guys. And that will be a problem with you guys.

Bosco: We can deal with our guys.

Danielle: You can? If last time we haven't vote with you guys, Andrea would have be voted out.

Andrea: So you want to get rid of Thomas and Michelle?

Danielle: Preferably Thomas though, well, you will be fine with that?

Andrea: Well, we will discuss about that.

"ralane"

- I don't really know if that really works, but right now I need to survive myself as long as I can, the three of us have been final three since Day 1, and I need to get them to the end though, I think I need to really work hard and smash that alliance apart.

The camera shows the castaways entering the challenge arena then.

Jeff Probst: You guys ready for today's reward challenge?

Castaways: Yes!

Jeff Probst goes on to explain the challenge.

Jeff Probst: Want to know what you are playing for?

The castaways screams, hearing the reward.

Jeff Probst: Danielle scored the last one! Bosco, Danielle, Jordan and Zack wins reward!

The four of them cheers as the other teams shakes their head, Thomas seems to be frustrated as he lost it.

Jeff Probst: The four of you, a car will come and get you to the cafe, (turns to the other four) for the four of you, I got nothing for ye, you can head back to camp.

The other four heads back to camp as the camera shows them first.

Andrea: Damn it, well, we lost.

James: What ya expect.

Michelle: We are this (uses fingers) close from winning.

Thomas: I know, I know...

"ralane"

- It sucks, I can't go on reward, I can really use some cafe help right now, but being here, I can once again stratergize with James, I once again can help, Jordan has stabbed me, my turn to do something.

Andrea can be seen chatting with Michelle.

Andrea: Do you think we can keep Jordan and Thomas with us? We can't let Jordan and Thomas flip though.

Michelle: Yeah, especially now the fact that they voted you last time, they tried to get you out last time.

Andrea: So what do you think you want to do next?

Michelle: Well, maybe taking one of those two out, preferably Jordan, he is really good at challenges.

Andrea:(smiling) Cool, thank god that you flipped, I m very happy about that.

Michelle:(smiling) Well, I just figured that you guys are just much better people than my other tribe of a total cheeky liars.

Andrea:(smiling) Your welcome.

Michelle: Well, you, me and Bosco to the end right?

Andrea: Of course.

"ralane"

- Andrea is really a nice person, I can't believe someone actually want her out, she is the one person that I want to be here longer, I might talke her out when I need, but I need allies, I won't do that, until those liars on my tribe is out.

"ralane"

- I still can't read Michelle, I can't tell whether she was the person who voted me, I know Thomas wasn't with us, but I think she is the second person, I can't even get a read from her, she is a dangerous person, real dangerous.

Afterwards, James and Thomas are together fishing outside.

James: Are you sure you want to be with us? I told them earlier.

Thomas:(smiling) Of course I want to be, Jordan flipped me, I will flip them.

James: Who are we voting next?

Thomas: Jordan, Jordan next definitely. he is physical, and he is dangerous, period.

James:(raises hand) Ready to do this buddy?

Thomas:(claps his hand) Lets go!

As they are chatting, a fish seems to get caught on the line.

Thomas:(Excitingly) There is a fish! Quick!

James and Thomas continue to fish as the camera shows the four that won the reward.

Bosco: Oh man, look at this! We got salad, cookies, cake, and coffee!

Danielle: Oh my god! I want to eat this all!

Zack: Then ye are gonna have a stomach ache.

Danielle':(laughing) No I won't!

Jordan: Time to start digging.

The camera shows that the castaways are starting to eat the cakes and cookie.

Danielle: Gosh, this is like the cafe near my home.

Jordan: Nah, this is just like any cafe.

Bosco: Well, the cookies and cake is good enough.

Danielle:(tasting a cake) This is chocolate cake!

Zack: Oh ma, god, this is tasty real tasty!

Jordan: Who wants to try the coffee?

Zack:(jokingly) No thanks bud, I wanna sleep tonight.

Bosco:(smiling) You won't stay awake because of that.

Zack: If I would.

Jordan:(tastes the coffee) Just like me in the old times.

{{Quote|ralane| This is probably one of the rewards I want to have so far, coffee is what I need the most as I drink coffee, having chocolate cake, the sugar boost helps me as being too long here makes me dehydrated.

As the four of them are chatting, a waiter comes in.

Waiter: Excuse me guys, here are your letters from home.

Jordan: What?

Everyone hurries and grabs their home letter, including Zack who was serious. We see that Bosco reading the letter.

{{Quote|ralane| The letter was from my brother Barry, who became sick years ago, and we are the best bros ever, he told me that they are proud of me, and I shouldn't be worrying with them, which I am not, but well, this refreshes my heart, just... (a tear drops) I miss them.|Bosco}}

Danielle can be seen reading her letter.

{{Quote|ralane| Ahh, my twin sister Danni, not Danni BoatWright that won, but however Danni is like my personal adviser, she is a social worker, and she is really caring, and she says that I should forget about the million dollar and just focus on getting to the end, and that my mum and dad love me very much whatever what we do, and how far I get, I should not be upset and stuff, Danni... as caring as always.|Danielle}}

Jordan can be seen laughing of the letter.

Danielle: What is so funny?

Jordan: It came from my son, and he said that our house went on fire, then a their stole my bed, and an earthquake happened, and he said that it's a joke and told me to have fun. (laughing in the end)

As they are laughing, Zack all a sudden made out a large cry.

Zack: No!!!!!! This can't be true!!!!

Everyone stops and glances at them.

Bosco: What's wrong?

Zack:(crying) My grandpa had a car crash accident and died...

Danielle:(shocked) What?

{{Quote|ralane|(Crying through the confessional) I... I got the letter... happy to read it, it is from my... my dad, and he says that my... my grandpa had a car crash and he is.. gonw. I still remember... how grandpa was to me, nice and.... he is my idol... and now, (voice turns small) he is no longer here...|Zack}}

Danielle glances at Zack who is crying.

Danielle: You love your grandpa?

Zack:(still crying) Yes, he taught me a lot of things, he used to teach me sports and stuff, he is really one important person in my living, in fact, I still live with him, and what am I going to do without him...

Zack continues to cry as the castaways can do nothing but stare or say things.

{{Quote|ralane| I don't know what to do, seeing Zack crying, he is cheerful all the time here, and I have never seen him crying, seeing him crying is like seeing the sun rises from the west, and... I don't know what to do, when a cheerful person is like this.|Danielle}}
