My Little Spark Ignited A Firestorm

This is the twelfth episode of Survivor: All Stars - Heroes vs Villains

Challenges
Day 31 Immunity Challenge: Sea Legs Players will stand on an unstable triangular platform. They would move up a rung at regular intervals until they reach the top. Jeff Probst will tempt the castaways with food. If they fall off for any reason, they are out. The last person standing wins. Winner: Laura Murphy

Day 33 Immunity Challenge: Fun Climb The castaways would maneuver a buoy through a rope maze to a post. They would then untie a series of knots to release a key. The released key would open a chest that contained a set of ladder rung puzzle pieces. The first castaway to assemble their ladder and climb to the top of the tower would win. Winner:

Night 30
The camera fades in to the Hakauata camp. As a large bug crawls on top of the shelter, we see the eight remaining players return to camp. The majority alliance (Gerda, Laura, Luke, Noah, and Yannick) go further away from the camp to talk strategy while Gerard, Nicole, and Jillian sit by themselves.

Gerard: Well, off they go to decide which of us is next.

The shot then changes to the five Heroes standing in a circle, talking strategy.

Luke: If Gerard had an idol, he would have used it on Kim.

Noah: My thoughts exactly, he doesn't have one.

Luke: So we all good with voting out Gerard next?

Gerda: Yep, he's gone.

We cut to Luke back at camp. He breaks a large piece of wood in half before throwing it in the fire.

We then see Yannick watching Luke from afar. Luke has a confident grin on his face, like he has it all figured out.

Yannick smirks on his confessional.

(intro plays)

Day 31
The camera fades in to Gerard, Nicole, and Jillian in the shelter. The three watch the other five relax by the fire, eating rice. Gerard pulls his buff down his face before turning to Nicole and Jillian.

Gerard: This is not a position I'm use to.

Jillian: You learn to live with it.

Nicole: I think us three will manage to skate by the next Tribal.

Gerard: Why's that?

Nicole: Yannick wants someone in his alliance out this round.

Gerard: You serious? When did he say that?

Nicole: On the last reward. We just had to vote Kim to get his trust.

Gerard: I have a hard time believing that.

Nicole: I know, but we just have to hope.

The shot then changes to the five Heroes sitting by the fire. Luke takes more rice from the pot and fills his bowl, something which Yannick doesn't take so well.

Yannick: What about the other three?

Luke: What about them?

Yannick: We should save some rice for them?

Luke: If they want rice, they should make their own.

Yannick: But we don't have a lot of rice left, they make their own we could be out before the end of the game.

Luke: Oh well, guess they're not eating.

The scene changes to Nicole and Yannick walking to treemail.

Yannick: He's becoming such a douchebag.

Nicole: Oh trust me, I've known he was a douche since I first saw him.

Yannick opens up the treemail.

Yannick: But he's still going next. I'll talk to you guys on what's gonna happen after the next immunity challenge.

Nicole: Sounds good.

Yannick reads the treemail.

Yannick: Seems the next immunity challenge is today.

Nicole: You're kidding.

The scene changes to the challenge area. After a few shots of the challenge, we see Probst.

Jeff: Come on in, guys!

A speedboat carrying the final eight drives up to a floating platform. After they get off, Gerda gives the immunity necklace back and Jeff goes over the challenge. Everyone gets through the first ten minutes of the challenge with little to no problem. Jeff then brings out the first good item, cookies and milk. Upon seeing the plate, Gerda jumps down. After five minutes, the seven remaining players move up to the next rung. Jillian has trouble with the transition and falls off. The next food item Jeff brings out is spaghetti and meatballs, which Nicole jumps off for. A minute before the next transition, Jeff brings out chocolate and peanut butter, which Noah jumps off for, leaving Gerard, Luke, Laura, and Yannick. All three get through the third transition and begin to lift a leg up. Gerard is unable to and is eliminated, much to Luke's enjoyment. Yannick soon slips, leaving Laura and Luke. Luke tells Laura he'll jump off to let her win and does, giving Laura immunity.

The scene changes to the final eight returning to camp. All the other Heroes congratulate Laura on her immunity win.

Noah: Congrats Laura.

Laura: Thanks, it was a hard one.

Yannick then goes off with Nicole and Gerard, which Noah notices. He brings Gerda down to the water to talk about it.

Noah: So Yannick just went off with Nicole and Gerard.

Gerda: Really?

Noah: Yeah, I'm not sure why.

Gerda: Well no one in our alliance has the rehidden idol, right?

Noah: I don't think so.

Gerda: Yannick's a social person, he's probably making sure it isn't played.

Noah: Maybe.

Gerda: Just chill, we're good.

Noah looks off to the direction Gerard, Nicole, and Yannick walked off to before the scene changes to Yannick, Gerard, and Nicole by the water well. Yannick pulls out his idol.

Yannick: Here you go.

Gerard (Shocked): You're serious?!

Yannick: I am. Play it tonight, vote for Luke/

Nicole: Oh my God.

Yannick: I'm making a huge risk doing this. Please, don't screw me over.

Gerard: No, you're good dude. Thanks a million.

Yannick: No problem. I have to go now. Get ready for the fireworks.

Yannick walks off as Nicole and Gerard stare at each other in disbelief.

Nicole: So we voting Luke tonight?

Gerard: I've been thinking. Why not vote Yannick?

Nicole: No, out of the question. He's helping us!

Gerard: But it would be a huge move on our part and could buy us some favor with the Heroes.

Nicole: If Yannick is willing to help us now, he may help us again next Tribal.

The scene changes to the final eight collecting their things to head to Tribal Council. The focus is mainly on Luke as he gets his bag.

The scene fades to Tribal Council. After the final eight set their torches down and sit down, they watch the first four jurors walk in. After the jury sits, Jeff begins the QnA.

Jeff: So Geard, we've seen no one but former Lotofoa leave since the merge. Do you think another Lotofoa will be going tonight?

Gerard: Yeah, the writing is on the wall and it's either Nicole, Jillian, or I tonight.

Jeff: Laura, have you seen these three scramble to stay alive?

Laura: Honestly, no. They really haven't done anything. It's like they've given up.

Jillian: Well Jeff, the definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expect different results. We've tried to gain the numbers but no one will flip. They're all comfortable and confident in their numbers so there's not much we can do.

Laura: You can try to win challenges.

Jillian: Like I haven't? I'm not a physical person at all!

Laura: Then why are you even here?

Jillian: Because I want to play. I am a player.

Jeff: Laura, do you think you've become a little arrogant since the merge?

Laura: I mean I don't see myself as arrogant, I just see myself as realistic. Us five are a strong unit and Jillian is right, they can't break us up.

Jeff: Luke, if the five Heroes are together, there has to be a bottom of the alliance.

Luke: I don't think there is. I know all five of us won't be in the final three but we all know it's best for us to stick together and take out the last three Villains.

Jeff: Yannick, do you think the five Heroes will be together at the final five.

Yannick: I think so, yeah.

After Yannick's answer, the music intensifies.

Jeff: Alright, it is time to vote. Luke, you're up.

Luke gets up and his voting confessional is shown. No one else has their voting confessional shown but the audio from Gerard's is heard. After Jillian sits down, Jeff goes to get the votes and returns with the urn.

Jeff: If anybody has the hidden immu-

Before Jeff can finish, Gerard stands up. The shocked faces of Laura, Luke, and Noah are highlighted.

Gerard: I know it's my ass on the line tonight so I need to play this.

Gerard hands Jeff the idol before sitting down. Gerda is seen shaking her head.

Jeff: This is the hidden immunity idol. Any votes cast against Gerard will not count. Ill read the votes.

Yannick has a blank expression on his face while the other four Heroes are shocked.

Jeff: First vote: Gerard. Does not count.

Gerard grows a large smile.

Jeff: Gerard. Does not count.

Both Jillian and Nicole share a smile and hug each other.

Jeff: Gerard. Does not count.

Nicole and Gerard high five.

Jeff: Gerard. Does not count.

Luke sits back, disappointed at the votes.

Jeff: Gerard. Does not count. We still have no votes for anyone.

Gerard and Nicole share a smirk as Laura closes her eyes, scared at who is about to take the fall.

Jeff: Luke. That's one vote Luke.

Luke's head drops, knowing his time is up.

Luke (Quietly): Wow.

Jeff: Thirteenth person voted out and the fifth member of our jury: Luke. Need to bring me your torch.

Luke takes his torch and places it in front of Jeff. Laura's mouth hangs open, still in shock.

Jeff: Luke, the tribe has spoken.

Jeff snuffs his torch.

Jeff: Time for you to go.

Luke slowly makes his way out of Tribal as Noah and Laura look at each other, still surprised.

Jeff: Well with that, we have another blindside to add to the list. Head on back to camp, goodnight.

The final seven get up and leave Tribal as Luke's final words are aired. After that, the scene fades to camp as the final seven return to camp. Intense music is played as the scene progresses.

Laura: Well, that was a fun Tribal.

Nicole: I'll sure say.

Gerard: I know you guys don't want to see me but I did what I had to do.

Noah: No, I know. Great job.

The four remaining Heroes rush off to talk strategy, leaving the three Villains by themselves.

Gerard: That was the best Tribal since the merge started, I'll say that.

The scene changes to the four Heroes talking strategy.

Laura: What the hell happened?

Yannick: I don't know but we can't stray from the plan. Those three need to go.

Noah: Agreed. This is just a speed bump in the plan. Nothing changes.

After Yannick's confessional, the scene fades to black.
