Shattered Dreams

Shattered Dreams is the 10th episode of Survivor: Mozambique.

Challenges
Reward Challenge: Raise the Roof Castaways must hold heavy sandbags tethered to water-filled troughs above their head. Every 15 minutes, one person will drop out and must hand over their bag to someone else. The last team to stay dry wins. Reward: A trip to a burger bar, complete with beer and soft drinks.

Immunity Challenge: Roll Away the Dew Castaways will have to race out to release a set of three balls. They must then carry the balls one at a time over a series of obstacles while balancing it on a disc. Once they have crossed through the obstacles, they will need to navigate the balls on a track to get them into one of three slots. The first person to get all three balls into their slot wins.

Zabava
The program now opens on the 24th night following the first vote after the merge as the ten remaining castaways return to camp. The view focuses on the faces of Tesla and Allan, both completely blindsided by Tori's elimination. As Tesla places her bag in the shelter, she happens to look over at Cassy, who can't stop smiling, which causes the audio/visual technician to roll her eyes and snarl. As most of the tribe head over to the fire-pit so they can warm up for the night, Allan pulls Leah aside so he and Tesla can talk to her.

Allan (Frustrated): What happened?

Leah (Bluntly): I stayed loyal to my tribe, that's what.

Allan (Confused): You said you were with us...

Leah (Interrupting): I also said I didn't have a place in your alliance, and you know that's the damn truth.

Tesla: Where'd you get that idea from?

Leah crosses her arms and glares in Tesla's direction.

Leah: How 'bout the fact you hadn't said "Boo" to me since before the merge 'till now?

Leah now storms off and goes to join the tribe by the fire pit as the camera cuts to confessional.

"zabava"

- By the looks on faces and by the way those people from Sena have been acting, it seems like I’ve just caused a bunch of shattered dreams over there. Especially Tesla seeming to think she was entitled to my vote after barely speaking to me! (Rolls eyes) Not that I care about that, I didn’t have a place in their alliance anyway, so I’ll be the dream shatterer. Whatever. As far as I’m concerned, Allan betrayed me ‘cause he kept saying he was with me. Even after I made myself totally clear that I didn’t want to be in that other alliance, he voted with them anyway, and that’s not my problem.

Once the footage fades out of Leah's confessional, we see Allan trying to comfort Tesla, who is breathing heavily as she has now begun to panic.

Allan (Concerned): What's wrong?

Tesla: UGH! Can you believe how rude she is? What happened to wanting to work with us and all this (finger quotes) "loyalty" she supposedly has?

Allan (Sighs): Yeah, so much for that "firefighter bond" she kept going on about. I flat-out told her there was no way I was voting Tori out, and she kept saying she was with us, so she's the one that's disloyal.

Tesla: So what do we do?! Not only are we in the minority, but Cassy is still here, and she knows I was going after her!

Tears start to trickle down Tesla's face as Allan puts an arm around her.

Allan: With or without Leah, we'll figure something out. I promise.

Tesla now hugs Allan tightly, prompting him to hug her back.

Tesla: I trust you... I'm just so scared. I really wasn't sure if I'd make the merge... especially while I was so sick... but this is the last way I wanted my merge to start out... I can't let my dream end like this.

Allan (Rubbing her back): I promise we'll figure something out. You're smart and you know this game so well. Even so, I hope you're proud of the game you've played thus far given how far you've made it already.

Tesla (Sniffles): Thanks. I'm so, so, so scared, and I know I got a lot of enemies. Hopefully we can regain control. (Heavy sigh) Thanks for having my back and being so nice to me.

Allan: You're welcome. (Releases his hug) C'mon, let's go find the others. We can think about this tomorrow when our minds are fresh...er.

Tesla (Meekly): Okay.

"zabava"

- I really can't stand Leah! She thinks she's so above everyone and that she can do no wrong, and it's disgusting! Like, she promised Allan she was with us and that Cassy was going, then we get back to camp, with Cassy still here and acted like he's the one that betrayed her! Are you kidding me!? UGH! I'm willing to do whatever I can to get the numbers back 'cause I don't want my Survivor dream to end like this; but after confirming that she's a complete hypocrite and acting all high and mighty like that, she's now my first choice to get rid of. Yes, she's even ahead of Cassy, I hate her that much!!

Over by the fire, where the entire tribe is now sitting, the camera focuses on an angry Irene, whose mood is as heated as the blaze itself. The camera zooms out a little to show Jimmy looking directly at Irene, nodding slightly as he takes note of her current mindset, though he doesn't say a word. After a moment or so, Irene turns her head towards Jimmy and notices that he is looking right at her, which leads Irene to shoot him a dirty look in response, prompting Jimmy to awkwardly shake his head and look away as the scene transitions to her confessional.

"zabava"

- That's right, I'm f***ing pissed! Tonight was supposed to be the night that the biggest threat out here, Cassy, went home while Tori and I took control and rode the middle all the way to the end. Instead, Tesla just had to tell Cassy she was going home and since my post-swap tribe-mates, except Cassy, obviously voted with me, that meant Jimmy and Ricki of all people must've betrayed me! I'm not going to lay down and die though, far from it. At this point, I'm just going to cut everybody loose and start shooting at whoever crosses my path. I'm obviously on the bottom now anyway, so the way I see it, I've got nothing to lose.

''Upon the conclusion of Irene's confessional, the scene switches over to a conversation between Kane, Constantine, and Cassy by the beach. The three of them are all smiles as they discuss what happened at Tribal Council.''

Cassy: I honestly can't believe I'm still here, that's the truth. Glad Tori's gone though 'cause she was really, really sneaky.

Constantine (Nodding): I agree. Hopefully we can keep this going until the end of the game. I'd love it if us three original Senas ended up as the final three.

Kane (Excited): Oh my gosh, yes! What an amazing story that would be, wouldn't it?!

Cassy: Hell yeah! I just hope we can get either Tesla or Irene out next. I've been Tesla's prime target for ages now, and Irene is just as manipulative and untrustworthy as Tori was, if not worse.

Kane: Well, we got the numbers. We just have to make sure we all stick together and not let them get to us, and we'll be good.

Constantine nods along with this statement.

Cassy: Yeah, I agree 100%.

"zabava"

- (Laughs) Tesla thought I was going home... (shakes head) did she seriously think she could just tell me that and that I wouldn't fight my ass off to save myself? (Shrugs) Whatever, I'm finally in a comfortable position right now, and I feel great! If all goes well, Irene and Tesla will be the next two out of here, and I'll be on my way to day 39. As long as my alliance stays strong, there's no reason for that not to happen. (Grins from ear to ear)

Kane is now shown putting his fist in the middle of the three of them.

Kane: To final three.

''Cassy and Constantine now follow suit before the three of them say "FINAL THREE!" in unison. The camera then focuses in on a smiling Kane and switches to his confessional.''

"zabava"

- This game has been such a roller coaster for me, especially in the past couple of days, but I finally feel like I'm on top of the world! I'm actually in a comfortable majority... which I don't think has happened yet for me in this game! I've worked so hard to get to this point 'cause I wanted to prove that I was just as good a player as Vicktor, if not better. But now that I've lasted a good amount of time longer than he did already, I finally feel like I should be able to relax. I finally feel like I've turned a new leaf out here and I just want to soak this moment in for all it's worth because as a fan of this game, I know it's only going to get more difficult from here.

From Kane's confessional, he, Constantine, and Cassy are then shown heading back to camp, side-by-side with smiles on their faces before the camera fades into this season's intro.



Day 25
When the program returns we are taken back to the Zabava camp where the tribe can be seen eating their helping of rice for breakfast. There is tension in the air as most of them eat in silence, a far cry from the meaning of the name of their tribe (fun/party). Upon finishing her rice, Leah quietly stands up and grabs the empty pot before walking down towards the beach. This prompts Allan to quickly shove his last couple mouthfuls of rice into his mouth in order for him to quickly follow her as the scene transitions to his confessional.

"zabava"

- After Tribal last night, there was a lot of bad blood between myself and Leah, and that bugs me so much. It's not just the fact I'm in the minority, but I hate when people are angry at me, and Leah and I got along well only yesterday. I just wanted to try and clear the air 'cause it would suck if just one stupid vote ruined what we have between us.

Once the scene transitions out of Allan's confessional, we are taken to the beach where Leah is washing the pot just as Allan arrives.

Allan (Forcing a Smile): Hey Leah.

Leah turns her head and glares at Allan.

Leah: Oh... hey.

Leah now turns her attention back to the pot with Allan then putting his hands on his hips.

Allan (Apprehensive): Can... we talk?

This time, Leah does not turn around as she responds.

Leah: About?

Allan: Us... we have a special bond, and I don't want one vote to ruin that.

Leah (Sternly): Who said one vote was gonna ruin anything? If this is about the damn vote, then I said my piece. I don't need to justify myself to you anymore.

Allan now sits down beside Leah.

Allan: Just yesterday we were talking about how we save lives, and therefore we deserve the money the most. (Leah rolls her eyes) We agreed to go to the end together because of this firefighter bond and the natural connection between us, yet things happened and we voted differently... and then last night, we argued for the first time. I... I don't like it.

Leah (Snarls): I told you exactly what I was doing last night. In fact, how dare you try to guilt-trip me with this firefighter stuff! Ya' know, I WAS serious 'bout going to the end with you, but I never agreed to an alliance with Tesla or to vote Cassy out.

Allan: Leah, I also told you exactly what was happening, and that Marshall and I couldn't betray Tesla. Marshall and I were your final three, and you voted against us while we kept our promise.

Leah (Rolls eyes): Oh please!

Allan (Pleading): I just want to understand it 'cause this is not the Leah I know, and if we can work this out, I still want to go to the end with you and Marshall. I'm serious about this.

''Leah now looks directly at Allan. If looks could kill, the Knoxville firefighter would be deceased at only 29 years of age. Seeing the anger in her eyes, Allan leans back in shock just as Leah responds.''

Leah: Ya' know, you're being such a self-righteous prick right now!

Allan (Confused): Excuse me?!

Leah: You've got some nerve to throw the firefighting stuff back in my face, ya' know that?! For twelve long years of my life, I have been running back into burning buildings and saving people with pride, sometimes after even being ordered not to go back in 'cause the building might collapse or something! When I commit to something, no matter what it is, I follow through with it 'till the bitter end and you know that. I did not give Tesla my loyalty. I did not give Tori my loyalty. You know damn well that you gave me your supposed loyalty when you promised to vote with me, even though I made it clear to you I was not with them. You are the one that betrayed me, and I now wonder if you are the firefighter, or even the man, you say you are!

Allan (Furious): What the f*** Leah?! You know that's unfair! All I did was stay loyal to my alliance, and you know I had one with Tesla from the Sena tribe...

Leah (Interrupting): Not with Tori.

Allan: Tesla was dead-set on voting for CASSY, and she's wanted that girl out since the freaking tribe switch! If I went against Tesla, then I'd be the disloyal one, and I made it clear to you that I couldn't vote Tori out because of that.

Leah (Firing back): So your alliance with Tesla is more important than your final three?!

Allan: I never said I was going against you, I just said I wasn't going against Tesla last night!

Leah: I ain't the best strategist in the world, but I do know that when you say you're aligned with someone, that means you vote with them, and neither you or Marshall voted with me.

Allan: Well, if you would've voted with us, then you would've been part of our alliance...

Leah (Interrupting): WHERE?! On the damn bottom?!

Allan: Come on, that's not fair! Marshall and I would've protected you, and you know that. Didn't you want to go to the five with Ricki and Jimmy or something too? You would've been fine!

Leah (Scoffs): At least Ricki filled me in on the fact Tori was betraying everyone she ever played the game with. Ricki told me about how Brendyn betrayed everyone from original Makhuwa just and how he emotionally manipulated Penelope into hating her. Yeah, Ricki actually keeps me in the loop on things, and she's been doing a better job of (finger quotes) "protecting me" than you have! I'd much rather have Ricki strap on a station uniform, grab a TNT tool, and walk behind me to a burning building! (Allan simply shakes his head) I told you exactly what I was doing, so you have some nerve to come at me and claim I'm disloyal!

"zabava"

- I know what Allan's doing. He wants to be the damn hero of everybody's story and pretend he's some noble person that brings everybody together. But that's not who he is, oooh no! Allan is just another self-righteous guy that needs his ego stroked all the damn time, and he thought that he could come at me, throw our firefighter bond back in my face, and that we'd be all well and good. No. By choosing Tesla over me, Allan proved to me that our firefighting bond doesn't mean crap to him, and I love how he still says he couldn't vote against Tesla for whatever reason, which tells me he'd rather take her to the final three over me. After Allan betrayed me and show what our bond really means, I'm ready for our alliance to go up in flames. If he doesn't like it 'cause it puts him in the minority, that's his problem.

Returning from Leah's confessional, we see that Allan is speechless while Leah glares at him with a scowl on her face.

Leah (Agitated): Just... just go. I'll finish this myself.

Allan (Heavy Sigh): Okay...

Deflated, Allan stands up and begins to walk back to camp as we are taken to his confessional.

"zabava"

- I can't believe that Leah is the one calling me a self-righteous prick for staying loyal to Tesla when she's the one that went on and on about her 12 years of firefighting like it means anything in the context of this game. On top of being incredibly hypocritical of her, it actually really hurts that she said I'm not the firefighter I say I am 'cause I took up firefighting to follow in my late father's footsteps... (pauses briefly to wipe his eyes). But anyway... if she wants to be like that and if she thinks she can do no wrong, then I'll cut ties with her. I'm closer friends with Marshall and Tesla anyway, and at this point, I trust them a ton more than I ever trusted her.

''After Allan's confessional, we a transitional shot of a hawk flying overhead is shown before the scene transitions to show Irene laying down on her back in the shelter being approached by Tesla. Tesla has a nervous expression on her face, but takes a deep breath and climbs into the shelter, speaking in a quiet tone.''

Tesla: Hey... how are you?

Irene looks over at Tesla, simply shrugging while showing no emotion on her face.

Irene: Fine.

Tesla (Probing): Just "fine"?

Irene: Yeah.

Hearing Irene's one-word answers, Tesla begins to grow more nervous, her voice shaking a little.

Tesla: Can... we talk?

Irene: About?

Tesla: I... I just wanna know where we stand. Like... I know I screwed things up at the last vote...

Irene (Interrupting): Well, yeah. You only told our target that she was going.

Tesla (Pleading): I know, and I'm sorry...

Irene now sits up, glaring at Tesla.

Irene (Annoyed): You always are, aren't you? I'm now in the minority 'cause of your f*** up.

Tesla (Offended): I said I'm sorry, why must you be so mean?!

Irene simply rolls her eyes.

Tesla (Continuing): ...and what do you mean "I'm?!"

Irene (Blunt): I mean I'm looking out for myself at this point in the game! I ain't saying I'm turning on you, but I'm just telling it like it is and letting you know I'm not relying on you anymore to move forward. If they're an alliance of six and if they're not budging, then you may have already cost me a million dollars!

''Dumbfounded, Tesla is simply sitting in the shelter staring at Irene, her mouth dropped open slightly and appearing as though she's about to cry. Irene rolls her eyes again as the camera cuts to her confessional.''

"zabava"

- I think it's safe to say that the set amount of bulls*** I'm able to handle has long been surpassed, and as much as it probably would've been smart of me to just walk away from Tesla and not get her upset, I just had to let her have it. Like, that's how done I am with her crap right now. I just hope there's still time for me to jump ship and save my ass because there's no way I'm ever sticking my neck out for Tesla, or anyone in that alliance for that matter. I just need to try and get a life-raft to myself and poke holes in all the other ones to ensure nobody can follow me off of that sinking ship.

After Irene's confessional, we see her taking a sip out of her water canteen before storming out of the shelter and power-walking in the direction of the beach, leaving Tesla in there alone hanging her head. As Irene leaves the vicinity of the shelter, she brushes past Jimmy with the two of them bumping shoulders, though Irene doesn't seem to notice and/or care as she continues walking, with Jimmy looking towards her and just shaking his head. The camera then re-focuses on Tesla, who is near tears in the shelter.

"zabava"

- I feel like I hit rock bottom in this game right now, I really, really do... and I don't have a clue how to get out of this spot I'm in! (Heavy sigh) Yeah, people have come back from deficits before, but people are blaming me for the last vote being screwed up, and an ally just abandoned me completely for that very reason! (Sniffles) As much as I love this game and would never dream of quitting, I feel like such a loser. I just pray for some sort of miracle to come my way because with how things look to me at this moment, my position seems to be almost completely hopeless. (Hangs her head)

Once Tesla's confessional is completed, the scene then transitions to a conversation between Jimmy and Ricki as they walk through the woods.

Ricki: So, you think we made the right decision at Tribal?

Jimmy (Passionately): Oooooh yeah!

Ricki (Giggles): That confident, huh?

Jimmy (Nodding): I mean, on one side you have that tight trio of Tesla, Marshall, and Allan, a girl that betrayed everyone she ever played the game with [Tori], and Irene, who you know I really don't trust. On the other, we have Leah, and Cassy, Kane, and Constantine, who I think are more reliable, at least right now.

Ricki: That's true, I guess. I know Tori was planning on riding the middle, so I'm glad we got her out too.

Jimmy: Oh, by the way, have you noticed how pissed off Irene is? She's like, really pissed off.

Ricki (Shrugs): I mean, from what I saw, she didn't look happy. But I wouldn't expect anyone to be happy voting in the minority.

''Jimmy now stops in his tracks, prompting Ricki to stop as well. The law student then faces her and his tone turns more serious.''

Jimmy: No, I mean... I feel like she's pissed at us specifically, probably 'cause she expected us to vote with her.

Ricki (Crosses arms; Shrugs): I wouldn't put it past her. Why's this so pertinent?

Jimmy: After Tribal I just caught her shooting me this really dirty look, and even today, she brushed past me coming out of the shelter, nearly knocking me over in the process.

Ricki begins to nod slowly.

Jimmy (Continuing): I dunno how much of this anger she has is directed your way, but there's no doubt in my mind that she's very vindictive, and I just want to confirm that she should be the next one to go.

"zabava"

- At this point in the game, I've come to really only trust two people, Ricki and Constantine. Even though I view Constantine as a friend and trust him as an ally, there's no question in my mind that Ricki is my number one out here. After all, we've had each other's backs since the start of the game, and even though my guard is still up somewhat with her, that's just how I am naturally because it's not easy for me to open up and trust very many people. As for Irene, I've said before that I find her very manipulative, and given all the anger I've seen from her since the last vote, I don't doubt for a nanosecond that she's out for blood. Irene may not be part of a tight duo or trio, but I just have this grisly feeling that if I don't get her out very soon, she's going to make me regret it.

Jimmy: I know that the noted trio on the other side is Allan, Tesla, and Marshall, but just given how vengeful I think Irene is, as well as the fact she seemed so eager to ride the middle and play both sides with Tori, I'm thinking our best move is to make sure she goes next, while we have the numbers.

Ricki: To be honest (sighs), I'm not sure that would be the best idea. Irene is more of a free agent that we can use to our advantage, and Kane, Constantine, and Cassy are also a trio on top of the one with Allan, Marshall, and Tesla.

Jimmy (Persistent): The way I see it, between Allan, Marshall, and Tesla, only Allan is capable of winning challenges, and there's no way he wins immunities all the way to the end. As for Cassy, Kane, and Constantine, at least they're on our side right now. With Irene being a free agent, on top of how manipulative she is, in my opinion, she's far more dangerous now than anyone else.

Ricki (Choosing her Words Carefully): Yeah, I see what you're saying. She might just need time to cool down, so I think we should just play things by ear for the next day or so before we make a final decision.

Jimmy: Right.

Ricki: I'm just thinking that the sooner we can split those tight threesomes up, the better, especially the one that's clearly against us.

"zabava"

- As much as I love Jimmy, what I don't love is his desire to get rid of Irene. When it comes to Irene, Jimmy sees someone manipulative and dangerous, whereas I see a potential number for me to leverage and position myself to make it towards the end because it really doesn't appear like there's anyone she's tight with, and you need any and all numbers you can get at this point in the game. While I don't want to do anything to lost Jimmy's trust right now if I can help it, I need to think logically and start really focusing on playing this game for myself and only myself. That's especially so with this being an individual game, and I remember hearing before that people were taking notice of how close Jimmy and I are, which isn't good for building a personal end-game résumé. I don't know yet how I'm going to approach this, but if I can figure out a way to both scoop up Irene as an ally and keep Jimmy happy until such time comes when, God forbid, I have to cut him loose, then you can bet your ass I'm gonna do it.

''As the scene fades out of Ricki's confessional, it transitions back to the conversation between Jimmy and Ricki, with the two of them now laughing together as they walk through the woods. The view then zooms in towards Jimmy before fading to black.''

Reward Challenge
Jeff Probst: Come on in, guys!

''We then see the ten remaining castaways entering the challenge arena and making their way towards their navy blue mat. Once they are assembled onto the mat, the camera pans back over to Probst.''

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

Castaways: YES!

Jeff then goes on to explain the reward challenge, which is dubbed Raise the Roof, and that the winning team of five would receive trip to a burger bar, complete with beer and soft drinks, prompting Jimmy's, Tesla's, and Allan's mouths to instantly start watering with anticipation.

Jeff Probst: I know it's worth playing for. We'll draw for teams, then we'll get started.

After a time-skip, we see the two tribes at their respective stations ready to begin the challenge.

Jeff Probst: Alright, we have our two teams. On the gold team we have: Ricki, Allan, Irene, Kane, and Cassy. On the pink team, we have: Jimmy, Tesla, Constantine, Marshall, and Leah. This challenge is now underway.


 * Both teams hold strong for the first portion of the challenge, although Marshall, and Tesla both show clear signs of discomfort.
 * After the first 15 minutes, the two castaways to drop our are Irene for pink (who passes her bag to Allan) and Tesla for Gold (who passes her bag to Jimmy).
 * Marshall starts appearing to be in a quite noticeable amount of pain as this round wears on, while most of the other castaways either appear simply uncomfortable, or have no movement.
 * After the second 15 minutes, Ricki drops out for pink, with Cassy requesting to take her two bags and Ricki complying. Marshall eagerly drops out for gold, passing his one bag to Constantine.
 * Throughout the third round, castaways from both tribes pass their bags around trying to get more comfortable as pain/numbness begin to set in for most of them.
 * At around the ten minute mark of the third round, Jimmy loses control of a bag he was trying to pass to Leah, drenching the pink team and giving gold the win.

Jeff Probst: Cassy, Allan, Kane, Ricki, and Irene win reward!!

The five members of the gold tribe now drop their bags as they celebrate their win, with Allan holding his arms out and embracing the full trough of water as is drenches them, likely due to the intense provided the African sun. Ricki and Irene can be seen running up to their team-mates, with the former hugging them and the latter simply clapping and cheering. A quick time skip then occurs, changing the scene to one with Jeff Probst standing in front of the castaways.

Jeff Probst: Well, Ricki, Kane, Irene, Cassy, and Allan, congratulations. You guys get to escape from camp for the day and enjoy burgers, beer, and soft drinks, which I imagine is a much needed break from simple rice every day. (The winning team nods along) Grab your stuff, head on out and enjoy.

Once the five beaming castaways thank Jeff and leave the challenge arena, the host turns to the remaining castaways.

Jeff Probst: As for the rest of you, I've got nothing for you. Grab your stuff, head back to camp. I'll see you at the immunity challenge.

As the five castaways are shown heading back to camp, the camera focuses on Tesla, who appears extremely frustrated.

"zabava"

- In this game lately, I feel like I've just been getting blow after blow thrown at me, and losing this reward challenge was another big one. I'd seriously kill to have some substantial food in my system right now because I feel like on top of being able to satisfy some of my hunger, just it being a reward in general would help me ease my mind a little. At least I get an afternoon without Irene and Cassy, but still, this really sucks big time.

One last shot of the frustration on Tesla's face is shown as the camera fades out.

Reward
Triumphant music begins to play as the five reward challenge winners are shown approaching the burger bar, excited by the burgers of all different kinds including: beef, chicken, bison, and even tofu (though the latter goes untouched), while the first thing that catches Allan's eye are the pitchers of beer. A montage is shown of the castaways loading up their burgers with various fixes, which includes a shot of Ricki loading crispy onion rings onto a bison burger as the scene transitions to her confessional.

"zabava"

- Winning that reward challenge was absolutely unbelievable, and approaching that huge table filled with food after starving for 25 days, for me the game vanished completely from my mind for a few moments. It's like it just dawned on me that I'm out here trying so hard to win that I completely forgot the torture this lack of food is putting my body through. So to get some actual food in me and fill my empty stomach for once, it was just surreal.

As all of the excitement and festivities are occurring, Irene attempts to subtly look around the table for something by looking under the table cloth, looking underneath plates, etc. While most of her fellow reward winners aren't paying enough attention to notice, as Cassy grabs her third beef burger, she suddenly has a suspicious look in her eye as she notices Irene lifting up the plate of tofu burgers ever so slightly. This prompts Cassy to start subtly glancing around the table for clues as well, finally reaching onto the plate of napkins, picking one up, examining it quickly, and stuffing it into her shirt before anyone notices. A smirk then comes across Cassy's face as we are taken to her confessional.

"zabava"

- Irene must know she's on the outs 'cause I caught her searching the buffet table on the reward for an idol clue or whatever, and I was not about to just let her have it. I mean, the girl just wrote my name down last Tribal, and the reason we voted out Tori was because her and Irene were playing both sides like crazy. Luckily for me, I recognized that this (finger quotes) "napkin" didn't quite feel the same as the others, and when I picked it up, I noticed what looked like writing on the inside of it, and I instantly knew that must be what she was looking for. Obviously I'm gonna go idol hunting when I get the chance since I now have the damn clue, and knowing Tesla, she won't let up on wanting me out. But at least I have a bit more peace of mind knowing that nobody against me is gonna get any new idol or advantage in the near future.

Once Cassy's confessional is complete, she is shown eating her double cheeseburger with a smirk on her face before the camera pans over to show Irene, who is beginning to look frustrated upon not finding anything.

"zabava"

- Usually at these reward things, there's some sort of advantage or idol clue hidden, and you're damn right when you say I wanted that. I have no allies, and as far as I'm concerned, I'm starting my game over right now, and an idol would obviously be super beneficial to me, especially now. Unfortunately, after searching the table and area for a while, I came to realize that there might not have been a clue after all. It sucks, but to me, all that means is that I'm just gonna have to play my ass off with my words instead if I can't find the damn thing with no clue. I don't need idols to get to the end of this game. Would've liked the boost, but oh well.

Following Irene's confessional, the scene returns to the reward as the mood has turned much more casual. All of them except Allan (who is still eating, albeit slowly) are just leaning back on their chairs at the table full from all the food that was provided. Each of them are also sipping on beer, simply relaxing and enjoying the afternoon. As Irene is nearly finished her third beer, and being the smallest castaway, she is really becoming more hyper and talkative, which gets the other four castaways laughing.

Irene (Taking very quickly): Oh my God, oh my God, I've got such a great idea! You guys wanna know what my great idea is? Like, I am a YouTuber, so obviously I can come up with lots of great, fun ideas, and I know you guys will love this!

Ricki (Giggling): What is it?

Irene (Excited): Let's all tell embarrassing stories! Like, you don't have to get super personal if you don't wanna. Like, I don't need to know 'bout that time you got blackout drunk and didn't realize you were sleeping with your cousin and his penis got stuck in your hoo-ha.

The other four begin laughing uncontrollably as Irene continues on.

Irene: But like, your most embarrassing stories that y'all actually feel comfortable sharing. Ya' feel me?

The other four all nod in agreement, still unable to control their giggles.

Irene: CASSY! You first!

Cassy (Rolling her eyes): Well, uhh... I told this story on the original Sena already, but I once shot my dad's truck while cleaning my shotgun.

Kane begins to nod, remembering the story as he joins in with Irene, Ricki, and Allan in laughing along with Cassy.

Cassy: Basically, I was cleaning out my shotgun and I didn't realize there was a bullet still in it. Gun ended up going off and knocking the side mirror off of my dad's truck. He was furious, and I had to pay to get his truck fixed, but hey, at least he didn't shoot me!

Ricki: Yeah, I bet! My dad probably would've followed through with that threat if I did that.

Cassy: Normally my dad would've too. (shrugs) Guess he figured that if he shot me then he'd have to pay for his own truck to get fixed.

Allan (Laughing): Yeah, I guess that's one way to look at it.

Irene: What about you, Allan!? Let's keep this going! This is so much fun!

Allan (Shrugs): I guess I'd have to go with that one time I called my teacher "Mommy" in the third grade.

Irene (Disappointed): That's it?! I was hoping for something juicier!

Allan: How about the fact the teacher was male?

There is laughter around the table once again, with Ricki nearly spitting up her beer and Irene nearly falling out of her seat.

Kane: You serious?!

Allan: In my slight defence, he had really long hair tied back in a ponytail, and since Mr. Torres was also Hispanic, if you look quickly there's sort of a resemblance between him and my mom... but I went up to his desk and said it. (More laughter ensues) I swear it just slipped out!

Cassy (Rolls eyes): Yeah, sure.

Irene: KANE! You now!

Kane: I dunno how embarrassing this is exactly, or if it's just awkward as f***. But I once had a female client ask me out.

The camera pans around the table, where we see everyone's eyes go wide.

Ricki: You serious?

Irene: What did you do?!

Kane: I didn't have the balls to tell her I'm gay, not that it would've made a difference anyway 'cause even if I wasn't, it would've been both unprofessional and unethical to accept her proposal.

Ricki: Yeah, true.

Kane: But it was still hella awkward 'cause I was shocked to hear that come out of her mouth for one thing, but I also had to gently let her down somehow. What made it worse was that even after I said, "I can't do that, you're my client," she just gave me this blank stare 'cause she clearly didn't understand why that was an issue. She was just all like (mocking tone) "So?"

Irene (Interjecting): You shoulda' just said "Back off! Only manly men can have this dick!"

Kane (Laughs): I wish! I just ended up saying she's a nice girl, but (finger quotes) "Not my type." I wasn't gonna keep saying I can't date clients 'cause that wouldn't do any good, and she backed off after that anyway. Still easily the most awkward moment I've ever had at work.

Allan: Yeah, I can only imagine.

Kane (Giggling awkwardly): Alright, enough about me. Who's next?

Irene: Ricki!

Ricki (Blushing slightly): Alright well, ummm... in my freshmen year of high school I was on the junior varsity volleyball team. Near the end of one of our first match-ups of the year I jumped up to spike the ball, and I got it, winning us the game.

Allan: Nice!

Ricki: However, when I came down from landing the spike, I landed awkwardly, rolled my ankle, and landed flat on my face.

Kane, Allan, Irene, and Cassy can be seen noticeably cringing as Ricki continues.

Ricki: To make matters worse, when I came down, after losing my balance, the bridge of my nose is what smacked the floor first, so on top of rolling my ankle, I also broke my nose. Again, this is right in the middle of the gymnasium in front of everybody after I just won us the game.

Kane: That's disgusting.

Ricki: The pain was bad, but it was the fact it happened in front of everybody that made it so much worse. After a couple of weeks I was playing volleyball again, but it was like I wasn't allowed to forget that incident. Every time I'd go to spike the ball after that, some smart-ass girl would yell something at me like "Don't fall!" For whatever reason, they never let me live that down until after I quit the team.

Cassy (Shocked): You quit the volleyball team over that?!

Ricki (Backtracking): N-no! I didn't quit because I fell on my face at the end of that game. I ended up quitting the volleyball team for other... personal reasons... (pauses) I'll leave it at that.

Kane: Yeah.

Ricki: I was just saying that they never let me live it down and seemed to remind me of it whenever they got the chance. My body healed fine, but their taunting was the worst part.

Cassy (Nodding; Sympathetic): Yeah, high school's a bitch.

Ricki responds to Cassy's statement with a simple "Yeah" as she turns her head towards the tipsy Irene.

Ricki: Well girl, we all shared our stories, so it looks like you're up!

Irene: Oh yeah! Uhh... gimme a sec I need to think of something. Like, my life's awesome, I'm awesome, I'm a fashion and style expert, blogger, professional YouTuber, comedienne extraordinaire, professional Emil roaster - that Jersey freak will flop in the NHL 'cause he couldn't even score with s***s, like Lexi, Cornelia, Hershey, and Isla...

The castaways around the table can't help but laugh as Irene takes another sip of beer.

Irene (Groans): Ugh, where was I?

Ricki (Giggling): Professional Emil roaster? We also just asked for an embarrassing moment you're comfortable sharing.

Irene: Oh yeah! F*** Emil! But yeah, embarrassing story... lemme see here... did I mention I'm so awesome and know how to laugh at myself so well it's hard to find one?

Cassy: Yes.

Irene pauses to think a little longer before finally thinking of something.

Irene (Proudly): I got one! Y'all will probably see this after the game anyway on YouTube, so I'd might as well mention it. (Giggles) On Fridays on my channel, I call them "Funny Fridays," though they should be more like "What the F*** Fridays" 'cause I like to prank my boyfriend or do other stupid s*** that's not make-up or fashion related like my normal Tuesday videos. Anyway, Freddie was filming me playing Pokémon Go! for whatever reason, and I ended up walking... (pauses for dramatic effect) face first into a stop sign!

All five castaways laugh for a bit before Irene continues.

Irene: I was like, so f***ing embarrassed 'cause like, I walked face first into a stop sign, for f*** sake, and I want people to be laughing at my boyfriend and with me on Fridays, so I made him cut that outta whatever video we were doing. Well, month later, I lost some stupid-ass bet with him, and the deal was that if I lost, I had to make that footage of me walking into the stop sign my Friday intro for a whole ass month!

The other four castaways begin to laugh.

Irene: I was not happy! I gained subscribers, yes, but I couldn't wait to stop using that stupid intro, like my God!

Ricki: What difference does it make? Didn't you say that month's videos are still up?

Irene's eyes go wide as she stops dead in her tracks, staring at Ricki.

Ricki: If I wanted, I could just play that moment over, and over, and over, and over...

Irene: Shut up, Ricki.

Ricki (Grinning devilishly): ...and over, and over, and over, and over...

As Ricki continues to egg Irene on, to the amusement of Cassy, Allan, and Kane, the YouTube personality gets up from her seat, walks over to Ricki, and tries to put her hand over Ricki's mouth, though Ricki leans out of the way, nearly causing Irene to trip and fall over, though she catches her balance.

Irene (Annoyed): Shut up, Ricki!

Ricki (Putting her hands up): Okay, okay, okay! Geez!

Allan (Chuckling): Go home Irene, you're drunk.

Irene (Sternly): I am NOT drunk, just tipsy! Alcohol makes me talkative, okay?!

Allan (Shakes head): Whatever you say...

Irene: That's right!

Ricki: Irene, this was fun, but grab another burger, it'll help absorb the alcohol.

Irene (Excited): Oh yeah! There's more food!

Irene then proceeds to fix herself another burger while the camera cuts to her confessional.

"zabava"

- Oh my gosh, that reward was so much fun! I promise I was not drunk, just a little tipsy. Like seriously, I've been far, far worse than that. I just can't stop talking for whatever reason once the booze starts flowing, and I get really hyper. But hey, this is a hard game, and it was a great time for everyone to just let their hair down and forget about all the stupid bulls*** that we have to deal with out here for a couple hours. It was just so much fun, and I promise I'll remember every bit of it for a long time! (Giggles)
