I Don’t Even like Him but He’s Loyal to Me

This is the Second episode of Survivor Madagascar - Ankaratra

Night 3 Merina
the tribe returns from tribal

Morton: YASSS we did it, bye Herman

"merina"

- I’m so glad everything worked out, like, everyone voted Herman, it turned out so well. This also tells me that I have some power over the tribe, and that means I’ll be able to make big decisions

Morton, Rose, and Lindsey talk together

Morton: thank you guys so much

Rose: no problem

Lindsey: yeah, you’ve been a great friend out here

Morton: you guys are the best I’m so glad we’re on the same team

Lindsey: thanks, we’re happy to have you

Morton: so like, do you wanna make a new plan

Lindsey: like who to go

Rose: I think Sam needs to go next

Morton: yeah I agree, he’s still a flop

Lindsey: ok, I’m down

morton leaves

Rose: so how are you feeling

Lindsey: I don’t trust him

Rose: I don’t really trust him either

Lindsey: do you wanna start making some moves

Rose: what kind of moves

Lindsey: taking out Morton

Rose: alright, let’s do this

"merina"

- Morton is seeming really confident right now, and I don’t like it. he got exactly what he wanted last tribal and I think he feels pretty safe, but you should never feel safe in this game so, maybe he’ll be the next person blindsided

Day 4 Merina
Luke and Mark are talking

Luke: 'So, we got rid of Herman, now what

Mark: let’s celebrate dude, we survived the first vote

Luke: but we cut someone who could have been an ally

Mark: I don’t care he sucked anyway

Luke: but what if people see us as threats

Mark: so what, we’re still in power man, let’s roll them all over

Luke: but Morton is the one controlling the votes right now, he got Herman out

Mark: so, we can still take him out whenever we want

Luke: but if we do that all of a sudden we’re the one’s controlling the votes

Mark: yep, awesome

Luke: no, we don’t want to be in control, at least not for now, we assert our power later

Mark: alright, so let’s just keep Morton

Luke: yeah, but we need to stay in his good graces

"merina"

- Right now Morton’s running the show and I’m not particularly worried cause, Morton is very emotional, and I know how to manipulate him. I’m gonna keep him here for now, but later down the line I might have to flex my muscle and take him out, especially if he ever turns his eye on me, at that point he’s dead

Morton, Margaret, Lindsey, and rose are talking

Morton: so like we’re all on the same page correct

Lindsey: Sam isn’t much of a help to the tribe

Morton: agreed, the twig was a good number for one vote, but he’s gotta go

Rose: I disagree, I think we need to get Diana out

Margaret: why is that

Rose: Sam helps out with the fire, Diana doesn’t do much of any help

Morton: eh, I can take or leave Diana for now, plus Sam has Kelly so he’s a bigger threat

Rose: but Kelly’s a strong competitor

Morton: so if we vote out Sam we can get her on our side

Rose: alright how do you feel Margaret

Margaret: I like the plan, I have no objections

"merina"

- I’m feeling a lot better after last tribal, I didn’t get any votes so I know I can trust the people I’m with. I trust Morton more than anyone else though, he’s been with me from the beginning

Morton: Alright, I like this, let’s do it

Morton and Margaret leave

Lindsey: are you thinking what I’m thinking

Rose: well, I think so

Lindsey: he’s gotta go, he’s getting way too big for his britches

Rose: well yes, that was what I was thinking

Lindsey: good, so I say we tell Sam and Kelly about what Morton told us

Rose: alright, I’m fine with that, but what If Morton gets the others

Lindsey: we can get Mark or Diana if need be, they probably don’t really mind who goes

Rose: are you sure

Lindsey: those two aren’t exactly, strategic in any way

Rose: ok if you say so, I just hope this works out

Lindsey: it will, trust me

"merina"

- The time to take out Morton is now, he’s the most powerful person in the tribe, and I want that control in my hands, so I’m ready to strike. My goal is to make sure even if Morton finds out about my plan, he can’t stop it, cause I’ll be in everyone’s ear before he is

Lindsey is talking with Sam and Kelly

Kelly: why did you wanna talk to us

Lindsey: I need to tell you guys something

Kelly: what is it

Lindsey: Morton, wants to vote Sam out

Kelly: What!

Sam: Why am I not surprised

Kelly: why did he say that

Lindsey: he said he wasn’t worth much to the tribe

Kelly: that’s not true He’s been a big help

Lindsey: Morton doesn’t seem to think so

Kelly: I can’t believe that, I thought I could trust him

Sam: so wanna take him out

Lindsey: that was what I was thinking

Kelly: I’m down with that plan, no one talks about my friends like that

Lindsey: ok it’s in place, we got this team

"merina"

- I’m really nervous about what Lindsey told me, I really don’t wanna leave this early, but if she’s telling the truth I very well might, I’m not feeling good about the next time we go to tribal

Day 4 Betsileo
Scoop Jenny, Lea, and Reese are talking by the shelter

Scoop: so, who do y’all think they voted out

Reese: probably that scrawny little kid, Sam I think his name was

Lea: yeah, probably

Jenny: it wouldn’t shock me

Lea: Sam lost them the first challenge so, it would make sense

Scoop: we never know, people are crazy

Reese: welp that was a fun talk, how about we start talking game

Jenny: dude the sun came up, an hour ago can this wait, till later

Reese: it’s never too early for strategy

Jenny: Yes it is, this is way too fuckign early for strategy

Reese: we gotta stay sharp and be ready to make moves

Jenny: *sigh* whatever

"betsileo"

- I don’t think Reese has the ability to not try to sell us something. He’s literally always trying to make some sort of deal, and honestly I’m not a big fan of his shit. He’s like sleazy salesperson, I can see why he’s a talent manager, but Here I’m a bit sketched out

Reese: so if we lose who’s going

Jenny: come the fuck on the challenge is not for two days

Reese: relax, I’m just sayin we need to think of our target

Scoop: yeah he’s right y’all, we need a target

Lea: Dodo maybe, he’s annoying

Jenny: I second that

Scoop: yeah, he said some crazy garbage about wanting Ryan out

Jenny: How did he get casted in the first place

Reese: yeah, let’s get rid of him

Lea: I can get Michelle with us

Jenny: Ryan would probably vote anyone who threw his name out

Reese: come on guys, we could get everyone on our side, that guys crazy everyone’s gonna want him out

Dodo is talking with Scarlet

Scarlet: What did you wanna say to me

Dodo: I think that we need to align ourselves

Scarlet: ok, why

Dodo: because I want talented people on my side

Scarlet: well I am a singer, but I wouldn’t say I’m that talented

Dodo: a talented person can recognize talent, and I see talent in you

Scarlet: umm, alright, thank you, so, what now

Dodo: I have a strong group together with Allison and Ronald, we will take control of this tribe, as the rulers of betsileo

Scarlet: rulers? Alright? Whatever you say

Dodo: yes it is a plan, now we shall gather numbers to strike down king Ryan and take the throne

Scarlet: you wanna get rid of Ryan? Isn’t he our strongest player

Dodo: yes, it is what he would expect the least

Scarlet: right, let’s do this, I guess

"betsileo"

- I’m kinda just used to people like Dodo by now, he’s egotistical and I don’t get him, but I can tolerate him, and he wants to keep me in the game so, I’m happy to have him here

"betsileo"

- I am slowly gaining numbers, soon I’ll have enough to strike down any who oppose me. I will win this game, for I am a master at manipulation. Ryan is my first target, then I will have all the power, and I will control the game once and for all

Allison and Ronald are talking near a tree

Allison: so, umm, are we sticking with Dodo or

Ronald: I think he’s trustworthy, so I’d say yes, what about you

Allison: are you sure, he’s not exactly umm, normal

Ronald: Obviously, but his crazy doesn’t seem aimed at us so, I’d say stick with him, let him flail his arms

Allison: ok, I’m still a bit nervous about it, what if he blows up our game

Ronald: we just have to keep him in line

Allison: I don’t think we can do that

Ronald: well he is very, weird, but I think we can do it

"betsileo"

- Right now Dodo is sketching everyone out, understandably so, he is sketchy. I just hope that Ronald is right and we can trust him, because we’re rolling the dice on this guy

scarlet walks up to them

Scarlet: hey, can I join you guys

Ronald: sure, how’s it going

Scarlet: good, hey do you guys have a thing with dodo

Allison: oh, yeah, kinda, I think

Ronald: yeah we’re in an alliance, why do you ask

Scarlet: he kinda randomly asked me to align with him, and he said you were his allies

Allison: oh umm, that is something he’d do

Ronald: did he say anything else

Scarlet: he wanted us to get rid of Ryan

Ronald: Ryan? Why Ryan? He’s our best performer

Scarlet: he never actually, gave me a reason other than it would be surprising

Ronald: he seems to have a lot of crazy ideas, maybe we should try to talk him out of it

"betsileo"

- Dodo is complicated, I don’t really understand him, I don’t think anyone does, he’s doing his own thing, and that’s his choice, but I don’t see him going a long way, at least not without help

Allison: actually umm, I think might actually be a good idea

Ronald: really?

Allison: do you not think so

Scarlet: well, I mean, do you have a reason

Allison: umm, you see Ryan is so much stronger than all of us that he has a lot of power over the tribe, if we take him out, it creates a power vacuum, and then we can take control

Ronald: hmm, I like that idea, I’m impressed

Scarlet: that’s actually a really good idea, you’re a lot smarter than I gave you credit for

Allison: thanks, I think, you both are really cool people

Scarlet: aw, you’re awesome too

Ronald: *chuckles* then how about make this a trio

Allison: ok, we can be a 3 wheel ride, like a tricycle

Scarlet: would that make dodo the 3 year old we’re carry to the end?

they all laugh

Jenny and Ryan are talking

"betsileo"

- Dodo is crazy and I want to secure that he goes, if we do go to tribal that is. I don’t need that around, he’s the most ridiculous person I’ve ever, and that’s means a fucking lot for my life

Jenny: dude, dodo is a fucking lunatic

Ryan: tell me something I don’t know

Jenny: do you really want me to

Ryan: What did he do this time

Jenny: He told me and Scoop wants you out

Ryan: oh now that, that I didn’t expect

Jenny: yeah he wants to take out the strongest tribemate or something, I don’t know really, I don’t get him

Ryan: No one gets him

Jenny: I know, what is his deal, what the fuck does he think he’s doing, I don’t get his strategy

Ryan: once again, no one does

Jenny: so he’s gone right

Ryan: fuck yeah, of course

"betsileo"

- If some egotistical magic guy wants to take me down, bring it, I’m not concerned, I’m gonna beat you in this battle Dodo, you have 0 shot here, you’re done

 * Betsileo wins reward

Day 5 Merina
the tribe walks back to camp

Mark: god fucking damn it

"merina"

- So yet another loss, we should have just gotten rid of the weak, this wouldn’t be a problem. Sam should have gone instead of Herman, Sam is a weak waste of a tribemate

Mark:why can’t we win one fucking challenge

Kelly: hey man keep your spirits up we can still win immunity

Mark: not if keep all the weak people, we should have voted out Sam, it was so stupid to vote Herman out

Kelly: Herman was being sneaky and making underhanded moves, he had to go

Mark: I don’t give a fuck Sam is useless, he can’t do shit

Sam: I’m not useless, there’s more to this game than pure brawn

Mark: then why did you lose us the first challenge, and the second, and this one, because of you

Kelly: leave him alone, he’s been a great help around camp, maybe you should start appreciating people more

Mark: whatever fuck both of you

Mark storms off

"merina"

- So mark snapper after the challenge and the guy needs to check his anger, cause that conversation made me thin a lot less of the guy. Bro, we’ve lost 3 challenges calm down

Kelly: what’s wrong with him

Sam: yeah that’s really rude

Kelly: he can’t just talk like that

Luke: *sigh* I’ll check it out

Luke chases after mark, he sees him sitting by a tree

Mark: hey man

Luke: dude, what the fuck was that

Mark: we just keep losing, this is the third time in a row

Luke: come on man, three times ain’t that bad, we’ll get them next time

Mark: But we have such a weak tribe, we’re never gonna win anything, this team is shit

Luke: it’s not that bad man, sam’s gonna be gone next anyway if we lose immunity

Mark: But what if he stays

Luke: we can still steamroll together, we’re the strongest here, we can beat them all in a challenge if need be

Mark: Why have we kept losing then

Luke: cause we don’t need to win everything, we’re fine

"merina"

- So Mark has serious fucking anger problems, i can’t say it’s too surprising, he’s always been very blunt and aggressive in talking, but I didn’t expect a blow up this early. He’s a ticking time bomb, but he’s my number one ally so I have to just keep him in check for now, and calm him down

Mark: fine, I guess we’re good then

Luke: good, now let’s fix the problem, you dug yourself into a huge hole

They both went back to camp to talk to Kelly and Sam

Luke: Kelly, Sam, can we talk

Kelly: What do you want

Sam, Kelly, Luke, and Mark leave to talk

Luke: listen guys, we can’t be pulling this shit

Kelly: I didn’t pull anything he just lashed out at us for no reason

Mark: I was just telling it as it is, that’s all

Kelly: dude you were being obnoxious and mean

Luke: Ok listen the fuck up guys, we can’t be having these arguments so drop it

Sam: Kelly didn’t do anything wrong

Luke: I don’t give a fuck, we can argue later, right now we need to have cohesion

Kelly: But he can’t just say shit like that about Sam

Sam: Kelly, it’s ok, he’s right, we’re a team, we should work together

Kelly: you may be fine with it but I’m not, I not gonna let him do that

Sam: Kelly, please

Kelly: fine, let’s forgive and forget

kelly puts her hand out to Mark

Luke: mark, shake her hand

Mark: *sigh* whatever dude

they shake hands

Luke: there, everyone’s friends again

"merina"

- I couldn’t let that rift between Kelly and Mark last too long, this doesn’t fix the problem long term, but whatever that shit isn’t solvable. I just need them to not kill each other as I walk to the million dollars, even if it means I have to babysit them

"merina"

- I’m not really ok with what happened at camp. What mark said isn’t ok, but Luke is right sometimes we just have to let things go. The bigger picture is, we have take out Morton

Rose is talking to Diana

Diana: what do you want

Rose: we need to start targeting the big threats in this game

Diana: and that would be

Rose: well, Morton controlled the vote last tribal, and me and Lindsey have been thinking

Diana: and you want me to target him

Rose: well, yes, that would be the idea

Diana: alright, you can go now, I’ve been convinced, shoo

Rose: really

Diana: yes, now go away, you’re annoying me

Rose: alrighty, I’ll go

rose walks away awkwardly

"merina"

- I’m not voting out Morton, I kinda have a good thing going with him and I don’t know, hasn’t failed me yet. So I’m just gonna tell him

Morton Luke and Diana are talking

Morton: alright, so like everything’s still good, right guys

Luke: yep, fixed the bullshit between mark and Kelly, I think we’re set

Morton: heard anything Diana

Diana: oh yeah, uh, rose said to vote you out or whatever

Morton: she said what?! What do you mean

Diana: to vote you out, like if we go to tribal

Luke: what the fuck

Morton: I know, what the hell

Luke: bet it was Lindsey’s idea, they’re always talking

Diana: she did mention Lindsey, I doubt Rose has much of a strategic brain

Morton: I just can’t believe it, and after everything they turn their back on me\

Luke: they’re done Morton, don’t worry, they got nothing

"merina"

- I am so fucking pissed, like I was honest 100 percent with Lindsey and Rose and they go pull this behind my back. But whatever, if that’s the game they wanna play, they can play it, but you saw what I did to Herman, you think I can’t do that to you, if we go to tribal guess who’s going buh bye, bitch

Day 5 Betsileo
The tribe is hanging out at the shelter

Ryan: it’s just win after win guys, I think we’re doing good

Scoop: those folk on the other tribe need to start shaping up

Jenny: why did they get rid of Herman, he was pretty decent

Ryan: I don’t care, works for us

Reese: we’ve got some real skill on this team

Dodo: truly, this is an amazing tribe

"betsileo"

- I am in a fantastic position in this game, I have an idol, an alliance, and a tribe of steel. Soon I will have all the power in this game, I just need to bide my time

Lea: hey, scarlet, can you come get water with me

Scarlet: sure, let’s go

lea and scarlet head to the well

"betsileo"

- I want more allies in this game, so getting scarlet on my side would be good for my game, she doesn’t seem to have many ties so, I’m feeling good about her

Lea: hey so, I was wondering, are you down to take out dodo whenever we can

Scarlet: dodo, well, of course, why wouldn’t I be

Lea: just wondering, don’t worry, no one really wants dodo in this game

Scarlet: yeah, he’s ridiculous isn’t he

Lea: absolutely crazy

Scarlet: yeah, I think it’s time he goes

"betsileo"

- Lea just asked me to go after dodo and well I kinda feel bad. She seems like a nice enough person, but my loyalties are with dodo Allison, and Ronald so, I kinda have to tell them

scarlet is talking to dodo Allison and Ronald

Scarlet: guys, we might be in danger

Dodo: whatever do you mean

Scarlet: Lea told me that she’s targeting dodo

Dodo: foolish she is, this will go nowhere

Allison: umm, actually I’ve seen her talking to a lot of other people, the whole tribe might be against us on this one

Dodo: hah, I already got Jenny and scoop on the Ryan plan

Ronald: what? Jenny isn’t voting out Ryan, they talk all the time

Scarlet: yeah, that’s probably a bad thing to tell to Jenny

Allison: umm, she probably is targeting you now

Dodo: target, oh well, that’s just a little extra work

Allison: umm, maybe you should take a break, you’ve been working a lot

"betsileo"

- Dodo is, kind of a mess, and that’s not good. I want to save him, but that’s a bit of a challenge, I’m not gonna betray him, that’s not who I am, but if we do go to tribal, how much can I really do to save him

Dodo: nonsense, I am fine, I am unbeatable

Ronald: no you really should calm down, you’re hurting your game

Dodo: very well, I’ll stay out of the spotlight

"betsileo"

- Apparently I’m a target, I welcome the challenge, for I am the strongest amongst us, no one can bring down the great dodo. I will lay low for now, like a snake in the grass, but this is not the last you’ve seen of me

Ronald: I’ll talk to some people

Allison: me too

ronald talks to scoop by a tree

Ronald: how are feeling

Scoop: I’m feeling great, this is some group

Ronald: I can agree with that

Scoop: that dodo guy’s quite the character

Ronald: yeah, he’s pretty crazy isn’t he

Scoop: right, *chuckles*, he’s gotta go, soon

Ronald: are you sure, we should keep our options open

Scoop: I know, but dodo is just too much, I thought I was crazy, but that guy, that guys is crazy

Ronald: yes, he is

"betsileo"

- Talking to scoop didn’t give me much of anything in terms of changing his mind, he seems pretty set, I just hope we can find some person willing to waver

allison talks to Reese

Allison: so umm, who do you think might be a good target

Reese: dodo, come on, that guy, he’s crazy

Allison: are you sure, we shouldn’t rush to judgement, we don’t even know if we’re going to tribal

Reese: of course, I’m always keeping my options open, but dodo, there’s no saving him if we go to tribal

Allison: oh, yeah I guess I’m just nervous

"betsileo"

- I really feel like Dodo just can’t survive if we go to tribal. He’s too much for people, and, I get it, he is pretty ridiculous. I don’t know what to do, this feels hopeless
