Dueling Desert Duel: Turn Table  Contestants will place one foot on the ground, and the other on a foothold that will steady a table that they will attempt to solve a vertical puzzle on. If they move their foot, the table will shake and tilt, resulting in the puzzle falling or tipping over, requiring each person to share their focus between keeping the table steady and solving the puzzle itself. The last person to have their puzzle solved will be eliminated from the game. Winners: TBA Eliminated: TBA

This challenge has appeared multiple times throughout the Survivor series. As a tribal challenge, whoever finishes the dish first, wins a point for their respective tribe. The first tribe to four points wins immunity. Winner: TBA

Dueling Desert
The camera fades in to show the night sky, as footsteps can be heard walking through sand. The camera pans down to show Calvin and Jessica walking side by side with their torches, on their way to Dueling Desert. As they walk, the camera focuses on Jessica, who looks absently ahead, with dried tear marks down her face.

"tiaeteba"

- Tonight might be the roughest thing I've ever had to go through... but I think I'm all cried about it now...

(Jessica looks up at the stars, with the reflection of them glistening on her eyes.)

"tiaeteba"

- ...needless to say, this is a bad situation. I know part of it is my fault but now that the sadness is gone, I'm just so angry at Jeremy. I'm mainly here because of him. If I had've just written his name down tonight, he would be here, instead of me being here for his mistakes. It sucks, but it's too late to complain. I'm now here with two young and physically fit guys, and another that seems like he'd be super strong in the puzzle department, so I've got my work cut out for me if I want any shot at making it back into the game. I need to get some rest for now, because tomorrow's going to be an important day.

(The two continue to walk, with Jessica's sullen expression juxtaposed by Calvin's smile. Jessica eventually notices this, and is bemused by how calm Calvin is after being voted out, especially after he stifles a laugh.)

Jessica: Why are you smiling?

Calvin: I'm just so bewildered by the fact I'm here. I'm laughing at myself for being so dumb, not at you.

Jessica: Yeah?

Calvin: Yeah.

(There is silence between the two as they keep walking.)

Calvin: Can't believe this discrimination though.

Jessica: What?

Calvin: They vote out both of the blondes with pink highlights in their hair in one nightk. Shameful.

(Jessica smiles slightly.)

Jessica: So I'm guessing you didn't see yours coming?

Calvin: I did at first, but I was convinced time and time again that I was going to be fine, so much so that I let my guard down. Big mistake. Big. Huge!

Jessica: Nice Pretty Woman quote.

Calvin: It's a great movie. So how about you?

Jessica: I kinda knew it was coming, and the annoying this is I could've done something about it.

Calvin: Want to talk about it at all?

Jessica: Maybe later? I'm just mentally dealing with it all right now.

Calvin: Hey, that's completely fair.

(As Jessica and Calvin look back ahead, they see a small fire flickering.)

Calvin: I suppose this is it.

(The camera cuts into the Dueling Desert camp area, where Logan and Grant are both lying by the fire. As Logan looks up, he notices two people approaching.)

Logan: So, I know my glasses are taped together since they broke before I came out here... but am I seeing double?

Grant: What?

Logan: We have visitors.

Grant: Like, plural?

Logan: Yeah.

(Grant and Logan sit up as Jessica and Calvin come into their view, placing down their bags.)

Grant: Woah... Calvin!?

Calvin: Yup, it's me.

Grant: Wow, I thought you were going to be invincible.

Logan: Oh, and it's Jessica, right?

Jessica: Yeah.

(Grant and Logan smirk.)

Jessica: Wh... what?

Logan: We just had to sit through an entire day and night of Jeremy telling us how much he wanted to let you know he had feelings for you.

Jessica: Oh god...

Logan: So I'm guessing that didn't go over well?

Jessica: It's the reason I'm here.

(Logan and Grant go silent.)

Logan: I'm really sorry.

Jessica: It's not your fault, I just need to wrap my head around everything...

(Everyone lies back down by the fire, with the camera focusing on Logan who nervously tosses and turns.)

"tiaeteba"

- I was voted out on night three, and it's now night ten and I'm still here. That's a whole week that I've spent on Dueling Desert, and I'm really scared that it might be coming to a close sometime soon, especially with our two new arrivals. Jessica and Calvin both seem like they'd be good in challenges, especially Calvin, and even though Grant has proven himself to be strong so far and we're working together to stay alive, I can't help but be nervous about what lies ahead for us. There's gotta be something up with two people coming here, especially since it means they just skipped over the twelve player cycle where a swap would normally happen, and I just hope that whatever it is works in our favour.

Following Logan's confessional, the camera pans up to the night sky, before fading into the season intro.
