Please Forget How to Breathe/Pre-Tribal and Tribal

Pre-Tribal
(Following their loss, the Gombey Tribe returns back to camp in low spirits.)

Meiling: (deep sigh) I am so sorry about that, guys...

Lennox: Don't be sorry. It was a group effort and we were in it right until the puzzle. They just happened to be a lot faster in that stage.

Meiling: I feel a big weight of responsibility. I was so exhausted I couldn't even help, so I'm sorry. In hindsight I wish I'd offered to sit out, but it is what it is.

"gouyave"

- I consider myself in decent shape for a sixty-eight year old woman but I wasn't slightly prepared for how tired I would be crawling under that obstacle and over those towers. It was incredibly hard work scaling three different towers. I slowed the team down and by the time I got to the top I was so exhausted I was no help on the puzzle. We had to do the puzzle minus one person and it meant the other tribe was able to pull away. There's no question I was the weakest performer by far and I feel the responsibility of the loss entirely on my shoulders. I'm just hoping the social connections I've made will keep me safe but I wouldn't be surprised at all if I went home tonight. I wish Jensen had used his Temptation and saved me but that was entirely his decision, so I can't blame him. If I go home, I have no one to blame but myself.

(As the castaways begin to walk off, Jensen approaches Meiling quietly at the shelter.)

Jensen: I'm so sorry I didn't use my Temptation. I just-

Meiling: You don't need to explain anything. I understand completely and it would be wrong of me to expect you to risk endangering yourself for my benefit. I screwed up at the challenge and it's on my shoulders.

Jensen: Well, just know that I'm not writing your name down tonight, no matter what happens.

Meiling: Thank you. I appreciate that.

(Meiling and Jensen walk away to strategise. The camera focuses on a guilty-looking Jensen.)

"gouyave"

- I decided not to use my Temptation in the end because even though Mei said that Wylie and Shivani would likely be with us, I wasn't sure if they were playing up the swing vote and didn't wanna risk having a vote against me. Looking back, I really wish I'd used it. (sighs) I could have sat Mei out and we might have won and been safe. Instead, we lost and she performed really badly. Now I've put her in heaps of danger and if she goes home because I was too selfish and scared to risk a vote against me, I'm going to feel so guilty. I hope we can save her.

Jensen: Shivani, Wylie, you guys coming with?

Shivani: Yeah! Just give us a minute.

Jensen: Cool.

(Shivani and Wylie walk off to the side for a private conversation.)

Shivani: Okay, so I think we're in a decent spot tonight. I got talking with Meiling yesterday and she invited the two of us into an alliance with herself, Jensen, Lennox and Trinity. Now I know Meiling cost us the challenge today, but long-term I think it would pay off significantly. I think we'd be in a power position, it's a similar demographic and we'd be in a safe and stable majority because their plan is target Eddiot, who was probably the next worst, so we'd be losing challenge weakness either way. I think it's a great opportunity and we should take it. (laughs) And I bet now is the time you tell me you've had an offer from the other side.

Wylie: (chuckles) Funny you should say that, actually.

Shivani: You have?

Wylie: Yes, with Taihlaura. The two of us got talking yesterday and found we have a lot in common. She believes in Catholicism and has practiced Lent with her family. There's a lot of mutual respect between us and she was more than open for an alliance with us. She offered us a spot in the alliance with Samantha, Brooklyn, Eddiot and herself, as a secret trio with her. Everyone would think we were on the bottom but we'd actually be on the top.They're the stronger side, too, so we'd be safer.

Shivani: See, that sounds shady to me. We'd be relying entirely on Taihlaura being truthful and would she really deceive a trio of people to go with us? Think about demographics as well: what reason would Taihlaura have to be loyal to us other than religion? And how would we be able to integrate with people like Eddiot and Brooklyn? We're not young, sexy women so Eddiot would have no interest in us, and Brooklyn would be difficult to find things in common with. Trinity may be the odd one out, but we'd have a much better chance of connecting with that side because there's more similarities, It's basic human interaction here.

Wylie: See, I think Taihlaura is being truthful. We connected on a personal level and if she is playing me, that's some serious dedication and Oscar-winning acting right there, because she has me completely fooled. I think it would be worth pursuing but I understand your connections to Meiling.

Shivani: If you've connected on a personal level it might be worth it. Why don't we play with both groups tonight and decide, based on that, which side we go with?

Wylie: That sounds great. It seems like Jensen and co. are expecting us, let's start there.

(Wylie and Shivani head off in the direction Jensen and Meiling left in. The camera focuses on Shivani, who is looking worried.)

"gouyave"

- Of course it ended up that Wylie and I had been talking to both sides. I have confidence in Meiling, whereas Wylie has confidence in Taihlaura, but that worries me a lot. He claims to have bonded with her on a personal level, which means she might be truthful about wanting a secret trio with us, but I'm worried Wylie is too confident in her based on his religion and is being led to the slaughter. I just think there's something shady about this deal with Taihlaura. The demographic in her alliance doesn't seem suited to us so we'd have to rely entirely on her being truthful, but with Meiling's alliance, we have a lot more in common and could form our own bonds. I suppose I'll see for myself, tonight. how loyal Taihlaura is but I'd feel much more comfortable on Meiling's side.

(The camera picks up again as the duo join Meiling, Jensen, Lennox and Trinity.)

Shivani: Sorry we took so long. I had to bring Wylie up to speed with the situation.

Lennox: That's okay. We're glad to have you aboard this alliance.

Meiling: Guys, I just wanted to say that I hope you'll be sticking with this. I'd be understanding if you eliminated me because of my challenge performance, but I'm pledging my loyalty now to this group, so you'd have a guaranteed number on your side each time. I'm going to be voting for Eddiot, as we discussed, but if I'm voted out I won't hold it against you.

Trinity: You're going nowhere. Eddiot's going and that's all there is to it. He's such a dumbass, I can't stand him. I'm not having him around any longer than I have to.The sooner we go to Tribal tonight, the better.

Meiling: I'm so relieved to hear that.

Lennox: i gave my loyalty to you and that's where it's staying, regardless of how you did today.

Jensen: Yeah, Mei. I know how much this means to you and you know how much it means to me. I know you wouldn't turn on any of us if we were in your situation, so we won't do the same to you.

Meiling: Are you and Shivani fine with this, Wylie?

Wylie: Anything that's not me, I'm happy with. If you all want Eddiot, that's what i'll do.

Trinity: Great! Time for the idiot to leave! I'mma write his name in big-ass letters, replace the E with an I and underline it. I can't wait!

(As the group break apart, the camera focuses on Meiling, who is looking much more relaxed but still a little nervous.)

"gouyave"

- The group adamantly confirmed their loyalty to me and were insistent on sticking to the Eddiot plan, and it looks like Shivani and Wylie were on our side, so I'm feeling a little more confident than I was earlier. Of course, they could just be telling me that so I don't make a fuss on my way out, but I trust the genuineness of this group 100%. I'm honoured that the group would place their loyalty in me still despite letting the team down. It lets me know that these guys are real and I can rely on them for the long-term. I still know my name is being written down tonight from the other side, but I think I'll have the votes to get over the line.

(The camera then changes focus to an incredibly excited Trinity.)

"gouyave"

- I don't give a damn what happened at the challenge today. Meiling could've taken a nap for three hours and I'd still be writing Eddiot's name down. I'd do it fifty thousand times if I could. He is just so annoying it drives me freakin' nuts, and why would I put up with him for longer than I have to? Meiling can go next if she screws up again, but tonight I'm in a solid alliance, everyone's agreed to write down Eddiot and we've got majority. I have the opportunity to get rid of him and I am not letting that go! This is gonna be the greatest day of my life, because Eddiot is outta here!

(Following Trinity's confessional, the camera focuses on Samantha and her alliance as they wait for Shivani and Wylie.)

Samantha: God, where are they? I bet they're talking with the other alliance and they're gonna screw us over or something.

Taihlaura: Relax, I'm sure they're just playing up the swing thing to them so they don't pull out an idol. Wylie's with us, and even if he's not, he'll tell me how they're voting so I can tell you how to play the idol.

Eddiot: Wait, so I'm playing the idol tonight?

Brooklyn: No, we're saying if Wylie lets something slip to Taihlaura. Keep the idol in your bag but bring it to Tribal just in case.

Eddiot: Okay! So how does Tribal work anyway?

Brooklyn: Jeff will ask you some questions, then he'll say "it is time to vote." Then when it's your turn, you go up to the booth and write down the name of the person you want to go home, and then you whisper why you're voting them, then you put it in the urn and sit back down. Then Jeff reads the votes and if you get the most, you're voted out, unless you play an idol, in which case the person with the next highest goes home.

Eddiot: Ohhh, okay. So whose name am I writing down?

Brooklyn: We'll know that when Wylie and Shivani get here.

Eddiot: Is Shivani the Indian lady?

Brooklyn: ...Yes, Eddiot, Shivani is the Indian lady.

(At that moment, Wylie and Shivani appear.)

Wylie: Hi! Sorry we kept you waiting so long, but I had to fill Shivani in on the situation.

Samantha: Okay, cool. So, who do you guys want to get rid of?

Brooklyn: Well, I'd like to vote for Meiling as the obvious vote, because she sucked at the challenge today.

Taihlaura: Yeah, I have to say Meiling.

Samantha: Are you guys okay with that, or would you prefer someone else?

Shivani: What about Trinity? If she doesn't like Eddiot, it might be best for you to do that.

Eddiot: Oh yeah, she doesn't like me.

Brooklyn: To be honest, I think Trinity's stronger at challenges so I'd rather Meiling.

Samantha: Yeah... honestly, unless you have some super huge problem with voting Meiling, I'd like her to go too. But then I'm really worried about an idol, so should we vote Trinity?

Wylie: Yeah, there's two idols out there..,

Brooklyn: I don't think an idol's getting played unless Meiling is the one who has it, and to be honest, I doubt she does. I think we should vote for Meiling.

Taihlaura: Yeah, I agree.

Shivani: Okay, if the majority wants Meiling, I'm happy to do that.

Samantha: Okay, let's vote for Meiling, then, but be prepared to switch to Trinity if we think an idol's coming out.

Taihlaura: That sounds good to me.

Wylie: That's fine by me, too.

Eddiot: Wait, so which name am I writing down?

Brooklyn: Meiling. Meiling, alright? Say it back to me.

Eddiot: Meiling!

Brooklyn: Good! Unless you hear otherwise, vote for Meiling.

Eddiot: Okay!

(The group walk their separate ways. The camera focuses on Samantha, whose smile is tainted with a little nervousness.)

"gouyave"

- Tonight we're voting Meiling because she screwed up the challenge. I think we've got Wylie and Shivani on board, or at least, Taihlaura is confident Wylie is with her, so that's our six. I'm still nervous about an idol coming out because Meiling is the obvious vote, but it makes no sense to play an idol this early unless it's she who has one. Just in case, I have Trinity as a backup plan because she's made it clear she's not working with Eddiot so I don't care about her. No one's going to play an idol on her, so the second I hear talk of an idol, she's toast. That'll teach her for not aligning with me!

(The camera picks up as Wylie and Shivani walk away from the group.)

Wylie: So, what do you think of that?

Shivani: I don't trust them, and I'm not comfortable with voting Meiling. I'd rather vote for Eddiot.

Wylie: If you weren't comfortable, why not speak up?

Shivani: I was being downvoted by three girls and I didn't exactly want to arouse suspicion by campaigning for the weakest challenge performer. I know you're high on Taihlaura, but I'd be much more comfortable siding with Meiling. That group is shady.

Wylie: i have an idea that could please both of us, and hear me out on this: I'll talk to Taihlaura, and we go back to that group and get them to vote Samantha out.

Shivani: Samantha?

Wylie: Yes! She's leading that group, she was quick to promise me everything when I first approached them, and she's clearly thinking several steps ahead, so she's incredibly dangerous. As for Eddiot, he had to be told three times how to vote. He's no threat whatsoever! We could side with Meiling's group, still have that trio with Taihlaura and blow this game wide open by taking out the biggest threat right out of the gate!

Shivani: Well, I'd honestly rather go with the flow.

Wylie: Think about it. It would blow the game right open! All we'd have to do is clear it with the others.

Shivani: Well, that's true. I'd be happy for that if you really trust Taihlaura. We'd be losing a lot of challenge strength but I suppose with the way Carriacou's voting, and if she's not going to be on our side, it doesn't matter. If we can swing the others, then okay, but it'll be hard moving Trinity.

Wylie: All she has to do is wait one round and then Eddiot's the easiest pickings in the world. Without Samantha, that whole alliance is going to crumble because it will just be Brooklyn and Eddiot. Trinity would surely go for it if everyone else did and I don't see why they wouldn't. Samantha is the shadiest person on this tribe and, left unchecked, she'll control the game.

Shivani: Okay, let's go talk to them, then.

(The two of them continue walking. The camera focuses on an excited Wylie.)

"gouyave"

- Samantha has made me nervous since she first invited me into her alliance. The way she controlled that group and thought several steps ahead, to the point where they'll switch to Trinity as soon as she gives the word, is scary. That's not someone I want in the game as she could take me out at any moment, so I want her gone tonight. The way I see it, yes, she's strong in challenges, but if you have a chance to take out the biggest threat staring you in the face right now, do it! Stovel took out Kelsie the challenge beast first and they did just fine. Sure it will take some convincing of others but I think they'll see it's best for us. I'm so excited to pull this off and bring in Taihlaura. I bet Samantha never sees this coming!

(The camera picks up again as Wylie and Shivani make their way back to Meiling's alliance.)

Meiling: Hey, guys! How are things?

Wylie: They're good. Listen, we're going to stick with you guys, but I have one small request, if you're open to it: I think we need to get rid of Samantha instead of Eddiot.

Trinity: Um, hell no!

Lennox: Why? We have a plan, we shouldn't mess it up.

Meiling: Yeah, and Samantha's super strong in challenges. I think we need all the challenge strength we can get.

Wylie: Just listen, hear me out. Eddiot is so bad at this game that he has to be told three times how to vote. Meanwhile, Samantha is dangerous; she's highly strategic, she has control over that group, and she's always thinking several steps ahead. I know you want Eddiot out, but if we hold on one more round, we can blow this game open by taking out the biggest threat. I can get Taihlaura on board for this plan, and with Samantha gone it will just be Brooklyn and Eddiot. Next vote, we can split our seven between them in case of an idol and we still have complete control. The longer Samantha stays in, the more control she'll get and the harder she'll be to take out. We have the opportunity to do this now, while she isn't expecting it, and we should take it. I know we lose challenge strength, but the benefits will be amazing for us.

Meiling: So, hold on a second. You can get Taihlaura to vote with us?

Wylie: Yes, I'm confident I can.

Trinity: I don't want to vote for anyone but Eddiot. I know he's dumb but I can't stand him!

Wylie: You'd only have to stand him for a couple more days. He'll be defenseless with her gone and we'll be able to take him out so easily. An opportunity to take out Samantha is going to come around rarely and we should seize it. Besides, Samantha brought up your name as a backup for an idol.

Trinity: What!?

Jensen: Dude, Wylie, I'd honestly just rather stick to our original Eddiot plan. They don't know we're voting Eddiot, right? If they pull out an idol, they're not gonna play it on him. This game means a lot to me and I don't want to jeopardise anything. I seriously would be a lot more comfortable not shaking stuff up.

Lennox: Yeah, honestly, me too. We should just remain with Eddiot.

Wylie: Please think about it! I can go and talk to Taihlaura right now and get her on board. I want what's best for us and that's taking out Samantha tonight.

Meiling: Okay, if you really can get Taihlaura, we'll think about it, but I think we'd all feel safer going our original route.

Wylie: Okay, I'll talk to Taihlaura now then. Trust me, we need to get Samantha out while we can.

(Wylie walks away.)

"gouyave"

- The group was initially cold towards the idea of Samantha but I'm adamant this goes through. What a statement it would make to her and the rest of the group if we banded together and took her out! The others were understandably scared about changing up the plan so rapidly but once I outlined my plan and promised I could get Taihlaura on board, I think they were a little more open to it. I know Taihlaura will be open to it. That trio with Shivani and I will protect her and she'll be part of a fantastic blindside. I hope I can warm these guys to it, because I know she needs to go tonight to benefit all our games.

(The camera goes back to Trinity, Lennox, Shivani, Meiling and Jensen.)

Trinity: (annoyed) Yeah, trusting you is the last thing I'm gonna do, bitch. I'm not voting for anyone but Eddiot.

Lennox: I'd also like to stick to Eddiot. Meiling, did you mean it when you said you'd consider Samantha if he got Taihlaura?

Meiling: I more or less said it so he'd stop. I'd rather vote for Eddiot instead of shaking things up. His points about Samantha are true; she's a much bigger threat than Eddiot and it's going to be difficult to take her out down the track, but if we're up a six-three majority after tonight, it should be no trouble. I'm surprised he's so convinced he can get Taihlaura though. She's from the other side.

Shivani: He says the two of them are pretty close, so I'm not sure.

Trinity: You're not voting Samantha, right?

Shivani: No. If you want Eddiot, that's how I'll vote. Hopefully Taihlaura shoots this down because I don't trust her any more than you do.

Jensen: He's honestly scaring me right now. We had a plan, why shake things up and change it? I don't like how he's confident in Taihlaura, too. No one trusts her, so it seems like he's playing both sides and I don't like that at all. How are we gonna trust him moving forward if he's playing this hard on day six?

"gouyave"

- Wylie is so shady. We had the perfect plan to get rid of Eddiot, he agreed to it, then all of a sudden he comes back and starts pushing really hard for Samantha to go, even though we all want Eddiot. He's said he can get Taihlaura on our side? Taihlaura, who's on Samantha's side, to vote out Samantha? Yeah, that's trouble waiting to happen. I think he's really playing up this swing vote position and getting cozy with people from both sides, and that really, really makes me uneasy. He's playing so damn hard, wanting to shake things up, and it's only day six. If he's changing stuff now, what's going to happen in the future? Is he going to turn on one of us? I don't trust this guy at all.

(There is a transitioning nature shot before the camera picks up on Wylie and Taihlaura as they are sitting quietly in the forest.)

Taihlaura: What's up, Wylie?

Wylie: I know I agreed to vote for Meiling, but I have something different in mind. Would you hear me out?

Taihlaura: Of course.

Wylie: My loyalty is going to be to you and Shivani, obviously.

Taihlaura: Of course, me too. I agreed on our trio and that's what I want to do.

Wylie: Good. So, would you consider having our trio on Meiling's side instead? I'd really like to take Samantha out tonight.

Taihlaura: Samantha? Is that who they're voting?

Wylie: No, they're voting for Eddiot, but I said I'd get you on board for Samantha and they agreed to change their tune if you were on board.

Taihlaura: Okay, I'm on board for whatever you want to do. Do you think you'll be able to swing them?

Wylie: Jensen said the game meant a lot to him, so he'd switch if it was putting us in a great spot. I get the impression he and Meiling are quite close, so she'd be on board with whatever he wanted. I just think Eddiot is no threat at all, while Samantha is the biggest threat here. If we took her out, we'd be able to have so much control and be virtually unchallenged. I really hope you're on board, because I want this to go down.

Taihlaura: Yeah, I agree completely. She's a triple threat and would be dangerous if we didn't take her out right now.

Wylie: That's exactly what I was saying! So I can count on you?

Taihlaura: Yeah, for sure. My loyalty is with you first and foremost, Wylie, and if you want to go with Meiling's alliance and boot Samantha, I'll do that if they're down for it

Wylie: Excellent! I'm so excited for this!

Taihlaura: Me too!

(Wylie and Taihlaura go their separate ways. The camera focuses on an excited Wylie.)

"gouyave"

- Taihlaura's on board for this plan! This is brilliant. I can go back to the other guys now and put this blindside in motion. I feel so excited. To be able to pull off a move like this on day six, take control of the game and have my trio with Shivani and Taihlaura is going to be amazing. I'm confident this is going to work and Samantha is absolutely never going to see this coming. (laughs) Who would have thought a forty-eight year old priest would be masterminding the first big blindside of the game?

(The camera then focuses on a worried-looking Taihlaura.)

"gouyave"

- Uh-oh, this isn't good. Wylie wants to side with Meiling's group, which in and if itself isn't bad, but he wants to take out Samantha. That can't happen. There's no way I'm voting for Samantha tonight; she's far too important to my game. That being said, I need Wylie to stick around too, so I can't have one targeting the other. I have to somehow manipulate the votes off Samantha, but if Wylie finds out I told her, I'll lose him and that's my way into the other alliance. I've got to be smart about this. I'm loyal to Eddiot's Angels but I need to keep Wylie around, so I need to figure out how to get the votes off Samantha, but onto someone from Meiling's alliance, other than Wylie. Looks like it's gonna take more than an idol play to pull this off!

(Taihlaura is next shown walking up to Samantha.)

Taihlaura: Samantha, I've just been speaking with Wylie. I've got some bad news.

Samantha: (sigh) Great, so Wylie and Shivani are voting with Meiling's alliance? Well, who are they voting for? We can just idol them.

Taihlaura: That's the thing... he's desperate to get you out.

(The music grows ominous as Samantha completely freezes in horror. The camera focuses on the sheer terror on her face.)

Samantha: ...What!?

Taihlaura: He insisted on you as the biggest threat.

Samantha: (panicked) How could he do this to me!? What have I ever done to him? I was nothing but nice to him, I invited him in our alliance, and this is what happens? I'm the strongest person on this tribe! Why would he be so ''stupid!? ''

Taihlaura: Just don't freak out. Wylie said Jensen and Meiling are close and the game means a lot to them, so we could switch them by arguing that he's dangerous to their games. Do you still want Meiling?

Samantha: No! Wylie has to go. I'm not keeping him around if he's not being loyal and wanting me out. Let's go tell the others.

(As they head off, the camera focuses on an incredibly anxious Samantha.)

"gouyave"

- How dare Wylie try to target me? Does he not know who he's dealing with? Does he not realise that I offered him a spot in a stable, strong, majority? And now he's repaying me by trying to vote me out? I am the strongest challenge performer on this team! Did he not realise that I wouldn't go down without a fight? Doesn't he know that I have an alliance that would tell me everything and completely burn him? Well, now that I know what that snake is up to, he's going to pay! I bet he thinks he's going to blindside me. There'll be a blindside tonight, alright, but it's his torch getting snuffed! No one comes for me and gets away with it!

(The camera picks up as Samantha and Taihlaura meet up with Brooklyn and Eddiot.)

Samantha: Guys, change of plans. We have to vote out Wylie!

Brooklyn: What happened?

Samantha: Wylie went to Taihlaura and he wants me out! Me! So now, he has to go home.

Brooklyn: Okay, we'll all vote Wylie, then. Should Eddiot play his idol on you?

Samantha: (panicked) Oh my God... Oh my God, the idol! I completely forgot about that... what if Wylie pulls out an idol! Oh my God, we'd be ''screwed! Ugh! ''We have to put some votes on Meiling still just to cover our bases. Brooklyn, Eddiot, you guys keep your votes at Meiling.

Brooklyn: Um... how are we going to split votes when we don't even have a majority to begin with?

Samantha: ''I don't know! Ugh, but if I idol myself, and they've got another idol, it's all going to go to and we're all going to be picked off one after the other... Oh my God, how the hell'' am I supposed to pull this off? Why would Wylie even do this to me?

Brooklyn: Samantha, calm down!

Samantha: DON'T TELL ME TO CALM DOWN! IT'S NOT YOUR NAME THEY'RE WRITING DOWN!

Brookyln: (at the top of her voice) SAMANTHA! For God's sake, pull yourself together!

Samantha: Right, I'm sorry, but this is my ass on the line if idols start coming out... what am I meant to do? Wait, Taihlaura! You said that Meiling and Jensen were close, what could we do with them?

Taihlaura: Wylie mentioned they were close and said the game meant a lot to them, so we could play on that and tell them he'll damage their games.

Brooklyn: Them flipping to us gives us only six against four though, still not enough to split votes.

Samantha: Uuuuuuughh, this is doing my head in. We're just going to have to go all in on Wylie and hope he doesn't pull out an idol.

Taihlaura: Not necessarily. Wylie said that Shivani, Trinity and Lennox weren't really on board with the plan. They're apparently voting for Eddiot, so if they do that, Brooklyn and Eddiot vote for Meiling and Samantha, Meiling, Jensen and I vote for Wylie, that's a 4-3-2-1.

Samantha: That's what we'll have to do, then.

Brooklyn: You really think they'll vote for Wylie?

Samantha: Well it has to be worth a shot, right? And if they don't, Eddiot can just idol himself.

Eddiot: Wait, so I'm using my idol?

Taihlaura: Maybe. We'll see how things turn out. If they vote with us, Wylie goes home; if they don't, idol yourself and Meiling goes home.

Eddiot: Wait... am I voting for Meiling?

Samantha: Yes! I'm gonna go talk to Meiling and Jensen and get them to switch. Once they know all that we know, there's no way they'll trust Wylie again. He's going home tonight, I guarantee it.

(Samantha walks away. The camera focuses on Brooklyn, looking nervous, and Eddiot, staring into space.)

Eddiot: I'm so confused...

Brooklyn: Oh, God...

"gouyave"

- I feel like I'm the sane person who's been dropped in the middle of Crazytown... honestly, Wylie told Taihlaura he wanted Samantha out, she told her, and now Samantha's having an absolute meltdown. Wylie's the target now, which is fine, but she still wants Eddiot and I to vote Meiling, just in case Wylie pulls out an idol, and she's banking on being able to flip Jensen and Meiling. I honestly... I don't know what to think. Either this is just a cog in someone's elaborate plan or Samantha truly has lost the plot. Poor Eddiot is so confused. He doesn't know whether to play his idol or not and I don't think he's one hundred percent on who he has to vote for. You can't plan all these splits and chop and change things when there's someone who doesn't have a clue about the game. He'll end up voting for the wrong person or wasting his idol, or something. I just think all this vote scattering is going to blow up in our face. If someone's goal was to create the most chaotic vote possible, then good job, they've done it.

(Following Brooklyn's confessional, there is a transitioning nature shot and the camera next picks up as Samantha approaches Meiling and Jensen.)

Samantha: I need to talk to you guys.

Meiling: Okay.

(The three of them walk off together.)

Samantha: Okay, I'm gonna start off by saying I know Wylie wants me out.

Jensen: Uh... okay.

Samantha: And I know that you guys are all voting for Eddiot.

Jensen: B- but... uh, okay.

Samantha: There's no point in lying about it because I know it's true. Anyway, we're all voting for Wylie and I need you guys to do it as well. I know that Trinity hates Eddiot and whatever, but Wylie is the most dangerous, unpredictable person in this game. He's playing both sides and he wants to make big moves all the time. I can't trust him, neither can you because he's leaked all this information. He said you two are close, so that puts a target on your back.

Meiling: He said that about us?

Samantha: Yep. Like I said, there's no telling what side he's on, you can't trust him with information and he's playing way too hard. He's not just a danger to me, but you as well. Join us in voting him out for our mutual benefit.

Meiling: Okay, we'll do it.

Samantha: Great. You know he can't be trusted. I can't wait to send his scheming ass out of here!

(Samantha walks away. Jensen turns to Meiling, fuming.)

Jensen: I want him out. He leaked the entire plan to Taihlaura and she went and told Samantha. They know who we're voting for and they know we're close. That's... insane!

Meiling: I'm starting to feel the same way. I don't know what side Wylie's on anymore, or what he's doing. He's too untrustworthy for me. My only concern is that this lets Samantha's group back into the game, so maybe we should just vote Eddiot tonight and take Wylie out next.

Jensen: No way. What if he is part of Samantha's group? He's not loyal to us, or he wouldn't have dropped us as being close.

Meiling: You're right on that front. If we're doing this, though, we need Shivani in on it. We have to keep that five solid or else we're going to end up on the bottom after this vote.

Jensen: Then let's go talk to her.

(The two of them walk away. The camera focuses on Meiling.)

"gouyave"

- Hearing what Wylie had leaked destroyed all trust I had left in him. He not only told Taihlaura who we were voting for, he said that Jensen and I were close, which specifically puts us in danger. I know that he's unreliable and I have no idea which side he's on. Is he with us or Taihlaura, and why is he targeting Samantha? He could take us all out by swinging to and fro. Today it could be Samantha, tomorrow it could be me. I'd like him out of here for peace of mind, but my long-term worry is this fractures our alliance and we end up on the bottom. The last thing I want to do is let Samantha back into the game, because she is a threat, but I trust even her more than Wylie right now.

(The next scene shows Meiling and Jensen meeting up with Shivani.)

Shivani: What's going on, you two?

Jensen: Samantha knows that we're voting Eddiot. Wylie must have told the wrong person.

Shivani: Oh no...

Jensen: It gets worse: he told someone that Meiling and I are close.

Shivani: Oh no, Wylie... Obviously he's told Taihlaura everything, thinking she's on his side, and she's gone right back to Samantha and told her everything. (sigh) I warned him about specifically this.

Meiling: Yeah. No one knows what side he's on and he clearly can't be trusted with information. I'm thinking it's in our best interests to take him out.

Shivani: (firmly) No. Listen to me, I know you guys are scared and I would be too in your position, but you need to keep the vote on Eddiot. Trinity is desperate for him to go, and if we leave her out of this, she might be so annoyed with us she jumps to the other side. You might think we have a stable five, but I know Trinity's a firecracker you don't want to set off.

Jensen: We're worried about that, but I literally don't have any trust in this guy. He clearly has trust in the wrong people; he wants to change things up and cause chaos, and who knows what he's going to do next? Surely even Trinity would understand how much of snake Wylie is. She was mouthing him off before.

Shivani: Well, I personally wouldn't take the chance. I know you guys don't trust him and you have good reason not to. Look, do what you want to do, but I'm voting Eddiot and I'm telling you, for the future of this alliance, it's safest for you to do the same. I feel like anyone but Eddiot going will fracture the alliance, but it's really up to you. I'm going to talk to him.

(Shivani walks away, looking annoyed.)

"gouyave"

- Oh, Wylie... why? All he had to do was keep his mouth shut and go along with the Eddiot vote and we have a six to four majority. Instead, he's started off with this Samantha idea that no one was on board for, talked to Taihlaura about it, she's gone and told Samantha and now he's in danger and I have to do damage control. I tried as hard as I could to convince Meiling and Jensen to vote for Eddiot, because I know this alliance is going to crumble if he doesn't go home, but they have every reason to vote Wylie out. Whether intentionally or not, he's completely thrown them under the bus. I just hope they see the long term risks in eliminating him and give him a second chance.

(When Shivani leaves, Jensen turns to Meiling.)

Jensen: What do you think?

Meiling: I don't trust him, but I see her point. I wouldn't want to screw ourselves. I'll do whatever you want to do.

"gouyave"

- Shivani makes a really good point about Trinity. If we don't vote Eddiot out, she might flip her lid and just go with the other side, even with Eddiot. I really don't want to put myself on the bottom, but why did Wylie have to go and do all this stuff? He has leaked so much stuff and pegged us as a pair and I don't know what side he's on. He targeted Samantha off the bat, so next he could target me, and I don't want to leave someone in the game who plays chaotically and might get me out. Surely Trinity would understand if we flipped, because even she knows what a snake he is. That being said, if Wylie gets a couple of votes, wouldn't he be scared into playing a little quieter? It might be alright to give him a second chance, but the question is, do I trust him enough to do that? At the end of the day, I'm here to win, and I need to do what I think is best for the long-term.

(Following Jensen's confessional, the camera picks up as Shivani walks up to Wylie.)

Wylie: Shivani! Listen, I've talked to Taihlaura and-

Shivani: No, you need to listen to me. I don't know what you've said, or to whom, but Samantha knows you're targeting her and is now targeting you.

Wylie: Are you serious?

Shivani: Yes, and it gets worse: She also knows we were targeting Eddiot and you mentioned that Meiling and Jensen were close, so now I'm fighting to have those two not write your name down as well.

Wylie: Oh my Gosh... how could this have happened? I only told Taihlaura.

Shivani: There's your answer. I warned you to be wary of her and now she's sold you out.

Wylie: No, she wouldn't have just sold me out like that. There has to be some other explanation. (shakes head) I'll go talk to her in a moment. How should I vote? Are they voting me out?

Shivani: I'll play the idol on you if need be, but you should vote for Eddiot like we originally planned. Do whatever you need to do to save yourself, but I think there's enough votes for him now.

Wylie: Okay. (sighs) I'm nervous now, but I'll keep that in mind. I don't know what's going to happen.

Shivani: Neither do I.

(Wylie walks away. He is next shown going up to Taihlaura.)

Taihlaura: There you are. I've been looking all over for you.

Wylie: Taihlaura, did you tell Samantha that I wanted her out? Please be honest with me.

Taihlaura: No, I didn't. Here's what happened: When we were talking, Samantha was watching us the whole time. When you were gone, she jumped me and started getting hysterical, saying she'd heard everything and wanted you out now. Then she went to Jensen and Meiling and told them everything, so that's why they want you out now.

Wylie: Oh gosh... we should have been so much more careful. I can't believe she overheard everything.

Taihlaura: I didn't even notice her behind us. She was really sneaky about it. But I swear, I never told her anything, she just heard it all and I couldn't exactly lie when she was right there.

Wylie: So why didn't you tell me this right away instead of right before Tribal? I'm a little confused.

Taihlaura: Because I've spent the last hour arguing my ass off to Samantha that 1) I'm on her side and 2) not to vote you out. I think I've done it. You just need to vote for Lennox.

Wylie: Lennox? Where does he come into this?

(The camera shows Lennox relaxing with Trinity, before cutting back to Wylie and Taihlaura.)

Taihlaura: Samantha is absolutely terrified that you've got an idol, so I told her that the best way to save herself was to vote for Lennox, who no one is going to even think of playing an idol on because he's been so quiet. I'm not sure how many votes you're going to get, but your best bet is to vote Lennox if you want to save yourself.

Wylie: Okay, I understand that. This is the absolute truth?

Taihlaura: I swear it. I've got your back. Just vote for Lennox and you'll be safe.

Wylie: Okay, thank you for being honest with me, Taihlaura.

(Wylie walks away, taking a deep breath and looking nervous.)

"gouyave"

- I've botched something up here, big time. I went from a comfortable position to being in serious danger of going home. I told Taihlaura of my plan to eliminate Samantha and Samantha overheard it all and went to Jensen and Meiling, so now there's a target on my back. Taihlaura's been gone all day trying to get the votes off me and she told me to vote for Lennox. I'm conflicted on what to do, because I want to save myself in any way I can, but Shivani also thinks there's enough votes for Eddiot. Perhaps it would be best for me to try and gain some trust back with the group and do that, but I have no idea how the votes are going to fall, or if Meiling and Jensen are writing my name down. Maybe I have to vote Lennox just to keep myself afloat. If I vote Lennox, would that make me even more untrustworthy? But is there point in being trustworthy if I'm gone? I don't know what I'm going to do. I can barely wrap my head around all this.

(As the day fades into mid-afternoon, the camera focuses on Taihlaura. as she approaches Samantha.)

Taihlaura: Samantha, listen, I know what we need to do tonight.

Samantha: What are you talking about? Meiling and Jensen are voting with us. Wylie's gone.

Taihlaura: I've talked to Wylie and he's voting for Lennox. You want to save an idol coming out? Vote for Lennox too. No one will ever play an idol on him, we have a majority of votes and he's out of here, with our idol still intact.

Samantha: Wylie's crazy! I don't trust him at all. I want him gone.

Taihlaura: I know, but trust me, even if Wylie votes for you, the way the votes are split means Lennox still goes home with four. We just need to get everyone in our group to all vote for him.

Samantha: How do I know Wylie won't just target me again?

Taihlaura: I know you're freaking out, and if you're really that nervous about it, I'll vote for Wylie with you. But just hear me out on this: if we want to make the best move, we need to vote for Lennox.

"gouyave"

- Ever since Wylie told me he wanted Samantha out, I've been working all afternoon, and now my plan is coming to fruition. I went and told her everything Wylie said to me, which got her paranoid just as I suspected and now she'll do anything to avoid going home,s so I told her the best way to avoid an idol was vote Lennox. I led her to Meiling and Jensen so they'd have mistrust in Wylie to place votes on him and break that six up, and now that's happening, our four has enough votes. When Wylie found out he was in danger, I fed him the story that Samantha had heard everything we said, and he thinks she's so dangerous that she could easily do that. I told him the only way to save himself was vote Lennox, so I could get that extra vote for him on there. I want Lennox gone tonight because he doesn't factor into my plans whatsoever. If he leaves, I've saved both Wylie and Samantha and their trust in me grows. Long-term, it means I'll be in a definitive majority. So, that's my plan. I've explained everything to Samantha but she's very paranoid about Wylie. I won't push it too hard if she's adamant but, for the benefit of my game and hers, Lennox needs to go. I hope I've made her see that.

(It is almost time for Tribal Council and the castaways are packing their bags. The camera focuses on Samantha as she packs her belongings and glances over at Brooklyn and Eddiot.)

"gouyave"

- Today has been a mess. I've been told that Wylie wants me out but now Taihlaura said she's gotten him to vote Lennox, and it's best for us to take him out. I've chopped and changed things so much today because I've been so paranoid that to do it again might screw everything up. To be honest, I don't trust Wylie in the slightest and he has come for me before, so there's nothing stopping him from doing it again. He makes me incredibly uneasy and I'd feel much better with him gone. I know he spilled everything to Taihlaura, so she might keep him in check, which would mean Lennox is the better option. Here's my dilemma: Wylie's already put it out there that he wants me gone and that I'm a huge threat, so if someone were to raise it to him, I could be toast. If I flexed my muscle to get rid of him, I could send a message to the tribe. I don't know what I'm going to do tonight. I do know that I want to win. There's reason to get rid of both these guys and I need to decide what's best.

The sun sets as the Gouyave Tribe go to Tribal Council.
