Bad Case of 'Roid Rage/Pre-Tribal

This is the pre-tribal and Tribal Council of the premiere episode of Survivor: Mauritius. I strongly recommend reading the first part of the episode before reading this, which can be found here. This sub-page was created due to Node Count issues.

Aapravasi
The next scene fades in to show the dejected Aapravasi tribe returning to camp after their crushing defeat in the immunity challenge. Inez in particular looks crestfallen as she sets her bags down in the shelter. As she sighs and looks at the rest of her tribemates, the scene cuts to her confessional."aapravasi"

- Well, we lost the challenge today, and it was almost entirely my fault. (sighs) We had a huge lead all the way until it was my turn to cross the gap, and I completely failed. I know that challenge performance is only one piece of the puzzle in voting someone out, but if this tribe decides they need to start winning challenges, there is no question in my mind that it will be me going home. I just need to pray that everyone will target somebody who's lazy or causing drama instead, but who knows? (shrugs) I guess it's time to find out.

After Inez's confessional, the scene focuses on Jason and Logan as they stand side-by-side while the rest of the tribe sits in the shelter or near the fire.

Logan: Well, guys, we had a pretty rough loss today, but we were able to get a lead on them for a while. That means, in the future, we do have a chance to win.

Jason (Optimistically): Yeah, seriously, Logan's right. It's easy to get down about the loss, and it sucks that somebody has to go home, but we just need to do what we need to do tonight and go forward from there.

Logan: (nods) Jason's right. Just know that, to whoever gets voted out tonight, it's going to be what's best for the tribe collectively. Please don't take it personally.

Jason: Mhm. Although, I understand if you do, because it can be discouraging to be the first one kicked off.

Rachel nods in agreement with the two men, while Elaine and Gus both appear to be very unamused. Inez lets out an audible sigh as she stands up, surprising some of the other castaways.

Inez (Apologetically): Guys, I just wanted to say that I'm really sorry about the way I performed today. I let everybody down, and I was pretty much the only reason we lost the challenge. If you guys voted me out tonight, I'd understand, but I'd really, really love to stay.

Rachel (Supportive): It's okay, Inez. We all make mistakes. (smiles)

There is an awkward pause for several seconds as all ten castaways remain mostly still and completely silent, waiting for somebody to say something. Eventually, though, Jason chuckles.

Jason (Amused): Guys... (chuckles) you don't have to wait for Logan or I to dismiss you. Go talk about the vote if you want! (laughs)

Logan (Jokingly): You guys are dismissed. (chuckles)

Gradually, the other castaways begin to go off into groups to discuss the upcoming vote. The scene cuts to Elaine, Gus, Kurtis, Naomi, and Winter wading in the ocean together, deep in conversation.

Winter: So, what are you guys thinking for the vote? (sighs) I'm personally thinking it should be Rachel, just because I personally can't stand her. Like, at all.

After hearing Winter's suggestion for voting Rachel, both Elaine and Naomi start chuckling a bit, while Gus smiles, amused. Winter gives them a confused look, to which Kurtis shakes his head.

Kurtis: Winter, I've already talked about this to all three of these guys, and they're more than on board.

Elaine: (giggles) Sorry, it's just, we've already done a lot of campaigning to get rid of Rachel. When you told me about the dumb s*** she said, it didn't take long for me to let Gus and Kurtis know also.

Winter (Surprised): Oh, really? You guys are already on board?

Naomi retains a blank expression on her face as Gus nods.

Gus: Totally. We don't need someone like her startin' beef with everyone. (sighs) Although, I'm kinda concerned, 'cause she did real well in the challenge today.

Winter (Slightly crushed): You mean, do you guys think we should vote for somebody else?

Elaine: Oh, heavens no! We 100% want Rachel gone. We're just worried that it might be hard to get a sixth vote. (turns to Naomi) Nay, did you have any luck with Jason?

Naomi: When I tried to talk with him, he was with Logan, and they even shook hands to form some sort of deal. (shakes her head) I'm worried they have somethin' going on, and since Logan is pretty close with Rachel, that might make getting Jason's vote a lot harder.

Winter (Passionately): I mean, like, sure, Jason might be marginally close to Rachel, but for f***s sake, Rachel literally hates transgender people. Surely that would make people turn on her, right? It worked on the five of us. Like, she's almost superwoman with her agility and her work ethic, but we still want her gone just for being so awful. The other five people would have to be delusional not to agree with that.

Kurtis: Winter is right. Once the other people know about the things Rachel's said, there's no way that all of them will still take her side.

Elaine: I mean, you never know. Some of those guys are old. Maybe their views are outdated?

Winter: (crosses her arms) There are outdated views, and there are hateful, wrong views. Even then, there is no way on Earth Jason would be happy to hear about this. He's all about loving everyone and all that s***. He will no doubt be upset by Rachel's comments, I guarantee it.

Gus: Well, we gotta give it a shot, right? We need that sixth vote.

Naomi: I can talk to Jason as soon as he's available. (shrugs) Winter's right that he'll probably not like what Rachel said. I just hope it'll be enough to convince him to join us.

Winter (Slightly irritated): Trust me, it will be.

Naomi: (nods) Okay. I'm gonna go right now. Elaine, do you think you could come with me? There's always strength in numbers.

Elaine: Yeah, of course. (smiles) Let's go find that f***er. (laughs)

Kurtis: Good luck, guys!

Elaine and Naomi leave Gus, Kurtis, and Winter behind, presumably to go convince Jason to vote Rachel out at Tribal Council. As they leave the area, the scene focuses on Winter, who has a hopeful smile on her face. The scene cuts to her confessional."aapravasi"

- I think I had a pretty rough start to this game, you know, getting emotional and all that with what Rachel had said during the palm frond weaving. Hearing from Elaine, Kurtis, Gus, and Naomi that they all want to get rid of her, then, made me feel a lot better. She's just so bad for tribe unity, regardless of how well she performed today, that she just needs to get the f*** out of my life. I feel like, assuming she leaves tonight, I can finally start my game fresh on Day 4 and actually play instead of having to deal with BS from some ignorant, backwards person. (smiles) Although Elaine and Naomi both seemed worried about getting a sixth, I think they'll be able to get it with Jason, and if not him, then somebody who's more of a free agent like Chris or desperate like Inez. No matter what, I think Rachel's torch will get snuffed tonight, and we'll all be better off because of it.

After Winter's confessional, the scene transitions to the jungle, where Chris, Inez, Jason, Logan, and Rachel are discussing the plan for the upcoming Tribal Council.

Logan: Well, (sighs) I guess we have to start thinking of somebody to eliminate tonight, right?

Chris: This is where it gets real.

Logan: (nods) Yeah, somebody on this tribe is about to get a reality check. (crosses his arms) That being said, are the five of us going to vote together?

Rachel: I think we should. I'm not very close to many of the other people, and you guys are all hard workers who I get along with. (smiles) This is the group I want to stick with, at the very least.

Jason: Do the rest of you guys agree?

Chris, Inez, and Logan all nod, indicating they're in agreement with the plan to vote together as a strong bloc of five.

Jason: (smiles) Okay. I'm glad that we're all on the same page when it comes to that.

Chris: That's good and all, but who do we go after? (puts his hands on his hips) Personally, from what I've seen, Elaine and Gus have been the two people doing the least work around here. And, between them, Elaine is less strong physically. My vote is for her to be the one that goes, if I had to pick somebody.

Inez: Yeah, and although she seems like a fun, bubbly person, she hasn't talked to any of us this entire time. She's making it very clear where her loyalties lie, and it's not with us.

Logan: Yeah, and from the times I've talked to Gus, he seems to be, well... not the brightest crayon in the box. He's really no threat to us strategically, while I can see Elaine playing smart in the future.

Chris: So, are we going to vote for Elaine tonight?

Rachel: I'm good with that. She and I haven't interacted, and I get this feeling she doesn't really like me.

Inez: (shrugs) I'm just glad that it's not me.

Jason: I'm down, too. (smiles)

Chris: That settles it, then. Five votes for Elaine. (smiles) All we need now, though, is to convince somebody to join us in voting for her.

Logan: (groans) That's going to be really difficult. She spends all of her time with Gus, Kurtis, Naomi, and Winter. They're all huge fans of her, I'd imagine, but there has to be wiggle room somewhere. They've only known each other for three days, after all, so you can only get so attached to somebody this early on.

Inez: I feel like, from what I've seen, Naomi is the person that's least part of that group. She would be the easiest person to flip to our side.

Rachel: (nods) Inez is 100% right. Plus, she's a hard worker, so I wouldn't mind having her in our alliance, at least temporarily.

Jason: I can work on getting Naomi, if you guys are fine with that.

Logan (Excited): Yes! You'll do wonders at changing her mind, if you ask me. You're a perfect fit for the job.

Jason (Slightly taken aback): Uh... should I go now? (chuckles) I'm very new to all this.

Logan: Don't pounce on her, but do make sure you get to her before it's too late and she's already decided on somebody else to get rid of.

Jason: Okay, that sounds good. (smiles) I'll be sure to talk to her this afternoon.

Chris: So, the plan's in place? (the others nod) Awesome, guys, I really think we have this vote in the bag!

Inez smiles nervously yet hopefully in response to Chris's sudden optimism, while Jason takes a deep breath before beginning to walk away towards the main area of camp to find Naomi. As this occurs, the scene cuts to Chris's confessional."aapravasi"

- Yesterday, I was feeling pretty down about the game because I was struggling socially, but I've managed to get myself into a tight alliance of five and they even listened to my idea of targeting Elaine! (grins) Granted, she is the most obvious person to target out of the other five because she's the laziest and isn't very good in challenges, but still, it does make me feel like I belong a lot more than I did before. I'm hoping that Jason is able to get Naomi to vote with us, which I'm fairly confident about just because he's so kind and good with words. Ideally, Elaine goes home tonight and we keep the tribe as hard-working and cohesive as possible moving forward.

After Chris's confessional, the scene transitions to show Jason as he walks through the jungle to find Naomi. He is surprised to see Naomi, with Elaine in tow, approaching him at the same time. Chuckling to himself, Jason stops walking and waves at the pair of women.

Jason (Warmly): Hey, guys! (chuckles) I was just about to come find you.

Naomi: Really, huh? (puts her hands on her hips) Tryin' to flip me to your side? (smiles)

Jason: Yeah, kind of. (smiles) This is about to be interesting.

Elaine (Intrigued): Well, what do you have?

Jason (Cautiously): Before I say anything, please tell me honestly if either of you have idols. I don't want to out a target I had in mind only for that person to be given an idol.

Naomi: (shrugs) I don't have one, and I don't know of anybody who does.

Elaine: Yeah, I don't have it, either.

Jason: Okay. Well, (sighs) my group did decide, Elaine, that we were going to vote for you tonight. (defensively) The reasoning some people laid out was that you'd only side with the younger folks like Gus and Kurtis, but since you're here right now trying to work with me, that's obviously not true. (chuckles nervously) For that reason, I can try to push the target onto somebody else, like Gus, maybe?

Elaine (Unamused): Well, I'm not exactly happy to hear that I'm the target tonight.

Jason: Yeah, I can understand that. Again, I'm willing to try to push it onto somebody else. I said Gus because he hasn't done a lot of work around camp, while the rest of us work fairly hard.

Naomi: Honestly, I think our tribe needs to be strong. Like, physically strong. Elaine and I came to convince you to vote Rachel out, but again, she's really agile, so we're not sure anymore.

Jason (Raising an eyebrow): Why Rachel? She made us the fire, she dominated in the challenge, and she generally seems to be really pleasant to be around.

Elaine: Oh, sweetie... (giggles) On the first day, Rachel said all this BS about how transgender people are, like, invading women's bathrooms or something.

Naomi: (nods) Yeah, I was there for that. (rolls her eyes) She wouldn't stop ranting about it, it was pretty pathetic of her. The main thing, though, is that Winter really didn't like Rachel's comments, and she's very adamant that she should go.

Jason (Shocked): Wow, really? That seems so out of character for her. (shakes his head) If she's saying things that are dividing the tribe and upsetting people, I think you're right that we should take her out.

Naomi: Mhm. She's off her rocker if you ask me. (sighs) Then again, like you said, she did really well in the challenge today and she's been an asset around camp. As much as I want Winter to be happy by getting rid of Rachel, I'm not sure if she's the best person to vote out.

Elaine (Confused): Wait, what?

Naomi: Elaine, I'm going to be honest. I really don't think Rachel should go home tonight. (somewhat passionately) Did you see Inez in the challenge today? Her performance was abysmal. We will never win a challenge as long as she is on our tribe.

Jason: Naomi, you're right and all, but if Rachel and Winter aren't getting along, isn't it best to resolve that?

Naomi: I'm not sold either way. I just think we need to consider how poorly Inez has been performing, both around camp and in challenges.

Jason: (crosses his arms) Inez does a ton of work around camp.

Naomi: Yeah, she does, but she's always doing easy jobs that anybody else could do, like filling canteens or carrying small amounts of firewood. Don't get me wrong, I like the woman and I appreciate what she does, but in the end, I think she's expendable. Rachel is not expendable. She may be a total ass, but she is incredible at making fire.

Elaine: (nods) Honestly, Nay, you have a point. Inez is by far the weakest person on the tribe, hands down. Still, I'm worried that, if we change the vote, Winter will be royally pissed at us.

Jason: I'm down with voting Rachel, and I guess I'm down with voting Inez. From what you guys are saying, I really think it ought to be one of those two.

Elaine: I hope you're not just saying that because I'm right here. (giggles)

Naomi: Like, if nobody else is really on board with voting Inez, I'm fine with voting Rachel. I just want the tribe to be as strong as possible, and I believe that we can achieve that by getting rid of our weakest link.

Elaine: Jason, since you're close to pretty much everybody here, would you mind talking to people about the Inez idea?

Jason: Sure, but again, I'm not sure at all if this is a good idea.

Naomi: That's okay. Just get the word out there, and if people don't want to do it, then fine. We appreciate you listening to us about this either way. (smiles)

Jason: Thanks for reaching out to me, guys. (smiles) I'll talk to Logan about it, and from there, the word inevitably will spread.

Elaine and Naomi find this satisfactory, and they both head back towards the main area of camp, waving goodbye to Jason as they do so. The camera focuses on Jason, who looks slightly overwhelmed, before cutting to his confessional."aapravasi"

- Wow! What Elaine and Naomi just told me was absolutely crazy. They first let me know that Rachel had been saying all these comments about transgender people that were pissing other people off, and after that, Naomi openly admitted that her alliance was planning on voting for Rachel, but she wants to change the plan. And Elaine just... agreed with her! Although their reasoning for wanting Inez gone makes sense - she is by far the weakest person on the tribe - I get bad vibes from both of them because of what just went down. Despite the bad vibes, I also can tell that they want to work with me, so I'm really conflicted. (sighs) I'm going to talk to Logan about this, and hopefully he has some insight or advice on which plan to go with.

After Jason's confessional, Elaine and Naomi are shown walking back towards camp. Elaine has a very surprised and impressed look on her face, while Naomi's expression remains blank.

Elaine (Surprised): Damn, Nay! Where did that strategic part of you come from?

Naomi: (shrugs) I just feel passionately about things, and right now, one of those things is having our tribe be as strong as possible.

Elaine: (giggles) I dig the cutthroat, no-nonsense Naomi even more than the bubbly and hard-working one. (smiles)

As the two women walk side-by-side through the jungle, the camera focuses on Naomi, who still has a blank expression on her face, before cutting to her confessional."aapravasi"

- I risked a lot by openly changing the plan like I did with Jason, but honestly, it was a risk I had to take. I don't think it's the best idea to get rid of Rachel tonight, as much as she sucks as a person. She's really useful around camp and in the challenges, and I think when all of us agreed to vote her out, it was before we saw her perform physically. Inez is only going to weigh the tribe down moving forward, and although she's a sweet person, I don't want to end up back here again if I can help it. I know that the other people in our alliance might be a bit miffed by this at first, but I hope that they can see reason and make the best move for Aapravasi as a tribe.

After Naomi's confessional, the scene abruptly cuts to the main area of camp, where Chris and Logan are sitting side-by-side. They both appear fairly nervous for the upcoming Tribal Council, as evidenced by Chris tapping his foot repeatedly on the ground. After a few moments, Jason enters the frame and takes a seat next to the two men.

Jason: Hey, guys.

Logan: Jason! How did the talk with Naomi go?

Jason: Very interestingly.

Chris (Intrigued): What happened?

Jason: Well, bad news first - Elaine was there with Naomi, so campaigning against her was not very easy to do.

Logan (Annoyed): Why didn't you try to talk to Naomi alone? You can just ask Elaine to go away, man... I get that you're a nice guy, but seriously?

Jason: See, I was going to, but then they both talked about how Rachel has been causing divisions around camp, and honestly, what they said about her makes me want to vote her out.

Chris (Alarmed): Wait, what? What happened?

Jason: Apparently, Rachel went on this rant about transgender people and how much she doesn't like them. It made a lot of the younger people upset, especially Winter, who pretty much wants Rachel's head on a pike.

Logan (Disgusted): That's unbelievable. (scoffs) Rachel seemed like such a sweet person to me. It legitimately makes me mad that she would say things to piss people off, especially about such a serious and controversial topic. Honestly, as much as she's in our alliance, if she's doing things like that, then I want to see her gone.

Chris (Choosing his words carefully): Now, okay. This was coming from Elaine and Naomi, who we have zero reason to trust. How do we know they're not inflating the story?

Jason: I mean, why else would they even target Rachel? She does so much work around camp, she got us fire on the first day, and she dominated in the challenge. Other than her potentially being a threat, the only reason anybody would want to get rid of her in the first place would be if she pissed them off on a deep, personal level.

Logan: (nods) Exactly. (crosses his arms) I say the three of us all vote for Rachel, and we can get Inez to join us, too. It'll be 9-1, adios a Rachel. Just as it should be.

Jason: There's just one slight problem. (sighs) Elaine and Naomi don't actually want Rachel gone the most. They want to vote off Inez.

Logan (Pissed): What!? After all the stupid s*** that Rachel has been spouting, told to you by them in the same conversation, they want to get rid of Inez!?

Jason: (nods slightly) It weirded me out, too, to say the least. They say it's because she's super weak physically, while Rachel so far as been one step away from Wonder Woman. Like, they aren't wrong, at all. I just don't think that Inez's physical weakness outweighs a literal bigot wreaking havoc on the tribe.

Chris: Inez is really weak, though. I get where you two are coming from, but if we want to win challenges, we might have to bite the bullet and vote Inez off, as much as I and the rest of us like her on a personal level.

Logan (Irritated): No, we don't. I'm not voting for Inez, and that shouldn't surprise you guys because she's one of the people I'm closest to out here. Do what you want, Chris, but I'm not going to join you.

Jason: I'm mixed about it. I see both sides of the argument, and tribe unity vs. tribe strength is really tricky to navigate.

Logan: (sighs) We really should just vote for Rachel. I feel like Winter will as well, and once Inez hears she's a target, she'll probably do whatever in order to not go home herself. Getting the votes should be very easy.

Chris: (sighs) If that's what you two both want, I'll vote with you.

Logan: Thanks, Chris. Sorry if I got heated back there; I just find this whole thing ridiculous. (shrugs) Honestly, if Elaine and Naomi are being this untrustworthy and switching targets around, and their alliance is split on who to get rid of, the five of us could, in theory, just get rid of Elaine as originally planned.

Chris (Pleased): Ooh! I like that idea. (smiles) It can backfire, though, if the other five people don't split their votes. We need to be really careful about what we do tonight.

Jason: Yeah, absolutely.

As Jason and Logan both nod, considering their options, the camera focuses in particular on Chris, who looks legitimately distraught by the conversation but is trying his best to hide it. He eventually stands and takes a drink from his canteen. As he drinks, the scene cuts to his confessional."aapravasi"

- What Jason dropped on Logan and I just now was bad. Really bad. Apparently, Rachel has been saying and doing things that are pissing people off, and honestly, it did upset me a little bit, too. I believe pretty strongly in equal rights, so I'm not happy at all to hear that Rachel disagrees. Then again, she is pretty much the only person that has reached out to me on a personal level so far, so if I lose her, I'll feel pretty much alone. (shakes his head) I can't let her go home. I won't let her go home. Thankfully, some people are also considering voting for Inez, and I plan to capitalize on that. If I have anything to say about it, Rachel absolutely is not going home tonight.

After Chris's confessional, a prominent drum beat is heard as Chris drinks from his canteen before the scene transitions to the beach, where Gus and Kurtis are sitting and relaxing. Elaine can be seen walking up to the two men at a rapid pace, clearly meaning business. She sits down next to them with a thud.

Kurtis: Oh, hey, Elaine. Did you guys get Jason?

Elaine (Blunt): Listen, there's might've been a change of plans.

Kurtis (Confused): What do you mean?

Elaine: Naomi and I don't think Rachel should go home tonight.

Gus: Woah, really?

Elaine (Passionately): Yes! I know that she's an awful person, but with how badly our tribe choked at the end of the challenge today, we need to have the strongest tribe possible going forward. Inez is not doing anything to help us win, and I doubt she ever will.

Kurtis: Elaine, you were the one that got everybody to agree on voting Rachel in the first place.

Elaine: (shakes her head) I know, but that was before I saw Rachel in the challenge today. She's a f***ing beast! We need her agility moving forward. I know that this is sudden, but Jason said he'd be on board, so we would have the votes.

Gus: But, Winter isn't gonna vote for anybody but Rachel. We won't have six.

Elaine: We don't need six! If we have Jason, myself, you two, and Naomi, that's five for Inez. Winter votes Rachel, and the others all vote for me, probably, then Inez still goes home.

Kurtis: Wait, they're targeting you, and you're still willing to risk it all to change the plan? Elaine, I'm sorry, but this is f***ing absurd. We shouldn't be changing the plan this late.

Gus: Er, Kurt, I don't know... Inez is a liability.

Kurtis: I don't f***ing care! Vote her out next round, for f***'s sake! We promised Winter we'd get rid of Rachel. She was deeply, personally hurt by the s*** that Rachel said. Changing the vote and keeping Rachel around would be more than just a slap in her face - it'd be a huge betrayal. She will never trust us again.

Elaine: And do what? Work with Rachel? Not a chance. Listen, she'll be pissed, yeah, but she's a pretty calm person from what I've seen. I'm confident that any anger she'll feel towards us will be temporary.

Kurtis: (crosses his arms) I strongly disagree. This is a really bad idea. Really bad. Gus, for the love of God, tell me you're not going to go through with this.

Gus (Unsure): I, er... I don't know what to do. (sighs) I'm kinda torn.

Elaine: Hey, if you really don't want to vote Inez, we can just vote for Rachel. It's an idea I'm throwing out there, and while I believe strongly in it, I'm not going to force you to vote for somebody you clearly don't want to vote for.

Kurtis: I think we should just vote for Rachel. End of story. Thanks for filling us in, Elaine. (scoffs)

Elaine: (rolls her eyes) My pleasure.

Knowing that she will not make any progress with Kurtis, Elaine stands and walks away just as quickly as she walked to him originally, leaving Kurtis alone with Gus.

Kurtis: I don't know what's gotten into her, but you better not vote for anybody except for Rachel tonight.

Gus: (sighs) She did bring up some good points about Inez, though. Er, she's really weak, and isn't gonna be of any help to us as a tribe. Like, Rachel does suck and is causing conflict around camp, but she's so strong... it's a hard choice.

Kurtis: Again, I don't think that it is. We made a promise to Winter that we'd vote for Rachel, and I don't think Day 3 is a good time to start breaking promises. It's literally the first Tribal Council. There is no reason to overplay such an easy, obvious vote.

Gus nods, not responding to Kurtis's arguments. Kurtis, meanwhile, rolls his eyes and shakes his head before laying down on the sand, clearly both annoyed and exhausted from his earlier conversation with Elaine. The scene cuts to Kurtis's confessional."aapravasi"

- Seriously, are Elaine and Naomi out of their minds? I could understand voting Inez tonight, sure, but not after making a promise to Winter that we'd vote for Rachel! It's just... if Elaine and Naomi are already willing to break promises and switch votes around willy-nilly on the first Tribal Council, it makes it really hard to trust them moving forward. I hope for their sake that they both stay the course and vote Rachel as planned, because otherwise, Winter will be pissed at them, and if she's not, then I will. My vote is for Rachel, no questions asked.

After Kurtis's confessional, the camera focuses on Gus, who appears very unsure about the vote, before a time skip occurs. It is now early evening, and the sun is beginning to set. Noticing this, the members of the Aapravasi tribe begin packing their things and preparing for Tribal Council. The scene focuses on Chris and Rachel, who are both packing side-by-side.

Chris: Rachel, you're in danger tonight.

Rachel (Surprised): What?

Chris: Winter and God knows who else are writing your name down tonight. It's because of your comments about transgender people, but that's besides the point. If you want to survive, you need to vote for Inez.

Rachel (Taken aback): Whoa, what? Winter's a trans-rights activist social justice warrior? And why Inez?

Chris: (shakes his head) Rachel, please, not now. Vote for Inez because there has been talk of some people potentially voting her. Hell, you and I might be the only people that actually do, but it's our only chance. Logan wants to get rid of you, and Jason might as well. The alliance is crumbling.

Rachel: (shakes her head) God, this is terrible... I should've just kept my mouth shut.

Chris: I agree, you really should have, and your comments pissed me off, too. But goddamn it, Rachel, I need you to stay. You're the only person here I have a real bond with. Without you, I'm going to be all alone, and I can't let that happen.

Rachel: Chris... it'll be okay, I promise. I'll vote for Inez tonight. (smiles) Please, give me a hug.

Chris stuffs the last of his belongings into his bag before giving Rachel a very emotional and strong hug, almost squeezing the life out of her. After they have finished embracing, the scene cuts to Rachel's confessional."aapravasi"

- Well, on the first day, I shared my beliefs about trans-rights activists, and I assumed that everything was fine because Winter never fought me on anything that I said. Now, though, it's clear that she was legitimately offended by my beliefs and has been campaigning for me to go home. I could complain about her falling for the social justice warrior misogynist lies of the trans community, but for now, I need to do whatever I can to keep myself in the game. Chris, despite not agreeing with me either, told me that the best way for me to make it through Tribal is to vote for Inez. I have bonded very well with Inez so far in this game, so it hurts to do, but I can't be the first one voted out, especially not by a delusional social justice warrior. I just hope that everything works out.

After Rachel's confessional, the scene cuts to Inez and Logan also packing their things.

Logan: (sighs) Inez, you might be in trouble tonight. There's talk of you being a target.

Inez: Yeah, I assumed as much. My performance today was really, really bad.

Logan: Listen, if you want to stick around, you need to vote for Rachel.

Inez: What? How come?

Logan: There are people voting for her tonight. If you and I also vote for her, it should be enough to save you. At least, I f***ing hope so.

Inez: What happened to voting for Elaine?

Logan: Honestly, I don't trust her at all and would love to send her home, but the votes aren't there. Plus, Rachel has been causing a lot of division around camp, which I didn't learn about until a few hours ago. A lot of bigoted and controversial comments.

Inez: (shakes her head) I don't know, Logan. I promised to vote for Elaine, and I'm already on shaky ground. Breaking that promise will just screw me, even if it saves me for one round.

Logan: Do whatever feels right, but just know that I will be voting for Rachel tonight.

Inez: Thanks for letting me know. (smiles)"aapravasi"

- Well, I'm a target, as predicted, but it also looks like all Hell broke loose, and the alliance of five I was once part of is splitting apart. Logan wants to vote for Rachel to try and save me, and while that does seem a little rash, I do want to stay. I just don't really understand what even happened to cause such a change of plans, or why some people are voting for me and some are voting for Rachel. I'm totally at a loss in regards to what I should do tonight, but I do feel loyalty to Rachel that I don't want to breach just to save myself. Then again, if not voting for her means going home, I guess I don't have much of a choice.

After Inez's confessional, she and the rest of her tribemates are shown filing out of camp in the direction of Tribal Council. As this occurs, the scene fades to black and a commercial break plays.

Author's Notes
The episode's title is said by Adrian Morris complaining about the overbearing leadership style of fellow tribemate Tyrone Laurence.
