You're About to Get Schooled

You're About To Get Schooled is the seventh episode of Survivor: Athletes vs. Artists vs. Academics.

Night 16
Darrah: Nice job, guys.

Dustin: I mean, what did you expect me to do? You guys are really bad liars. Thanks for sticking with me, Zachariah.

Zachariah: No problem. I'm not afraid to say it in the open, because i'm fairly sure that everyone here knows it. You're my number one in this game. The camera shows Dustin climbing in trees searching for an idol.

Dustin: Holy f***.

The camera shows Dustin pulling an idol out of a hole in the tree.

Dustin: Take that! You're about to get schooled, y'all! I'm not telling anyone about this.

Day 17
Jeff: Come on in guys!

Archi walks in, Rihpo close behind.

Jeff: Archi getting their first look at the new Rihpo tribe, Olly voted out at last tribal council.

Jeff: Nobody looking shocked. Izabella, was that what was predicted back at camp?

Izabella: We didn't predict this, but this isn't the most surprising voteout that could've happened.

Jeff: Fair enough. But, you might be surprised by what's to come. Everybody drop. Your. Buffs.

Everyone begins to cheer.

Jeff: We are merged!

Jeff: Ready to get to your first reward challenge of the merge?

Everyone: Yes!

Jeff: For this challenge, you will remain with your tribe. Archi, one of your male members will join Rihpo. You will attempt to knock over all of your blocks, which display "Survivor: Athletes vs. Artists vs. Academics," before the other tribe. Once one group has finished knocking down all of their blocks, the groups will switch, and you will attempt to stack the blocks back up correctly, so it once again displays the season name. Archi, who are you sending over to Rihpo?

Jorge: I'll join Rihpo.

Jeff: Alright. Jorge's joining Rihpo. Wanna know what you're playing for?

Everyone: Yes!

Jeff: You will be competing for dinner and a movie. The winners of this reward will be taken to a local resort, where you will spend the night. You will get massaged, you will be able to take a shower. But the main portion is, as I mentioned before, an exclusive screening of the new movie, 1917, along with popcorn, and a meal. For the other people, nothing. No feast, no food, no nothing. Worth playing for?

Everyone: Yes!

Jeff: Alright, i'll give you a minute to strategize, and we'll get started.

Reward Challenge: Challenge Pitch
Jeff: Survivors ready... Go!

The castaways begin to hurl sandbags at the blocks!

Jeff: Darrah takes out five blocks for Rihpo! She takes out another five!

Fredrick throws.

Jeff: Fredrick takes down two blocks! Darrah takes out seven more blocks! That's how you do it on Survivor! Rihpo's finished knocking down their blocks! Everyone stop!

Jeff: You'll now switch tables. Rihpo will be stacking Archi's blocks, Archi will be stacking Rihpo's blocks. Survivors ready... Go! Archi left about twelve out of the thirty total blocks for Rihpo to stack. Rihpo has a huge advantage. It looks like Rihpo is taking advantage of their being ahead, and they are having Dustin look at the puzzle to ensure that they are 100% correct. Rihpo with twelve pieces left! Archi with twenty-five! Rihpo gets another! And another! This is a blowout! Rihpo with six pieces left! Five... Rihpo's done! But are they right?

Darrah: Jeff! Jeff!

Dustin: No, Darrah! Stop! No Jeff, somethings wrong!

Jeff: Rihpo's hit a roadblock, opening the door for Archi!

Dustin: It's these two! Switch them, switch them! Jeff! Jeff!

Jeff: Rihpo thinks they have it... and they do! Rihpo, wins reward!

Later

Jeff: Rihpo, congratulations, a boat will be at camp to pick you up. You can all head back to the old Saharo beach. I'll see you tomorrow for your first individual immunity challenge. Head to camp. The castaways head to camp.

Reward
Dustin: Oh, boy! This is amazing! The camera shows Nicki and Darrah in the bathroom. Nicki is checking out her face in the mirror, while Darrah takes a shower.

Darrah: Holy f*** I forgot how good a shower felt.

Nicki: Don't take too long! I wanna try!

The camera shows the men in the bathroom. Dustin is in the shower.

Dustin: Oh my god! It's warm as hell! This is hands down the best shower I've ever taken.

Zachariah: Damn, my beard! I haven't had one for years! I'm just gonna shave this...

Jorge: I'm keeping my scruff here. This is the first time i've actually grown facial hair, and I like it!

Grayson: Man, I wonder how many pounds i've lost.

Later

The group is shown in the movie theatre, with popcorn in hand. Dustin is shoving popcorn in his face.

Dustin: This popcorn is so good!

Day 18
Jeff: Come on in, guys!

Jeff: Are you guys ready to get to your first individual challenge?

Everyone: Yes!

Dustin yells "Hell yeah!"

Jeff: For today's challenge, you will put your foot up onto a seesaw. You will keep it there, while a vase is balancing on the other end of the seesaw. If you go too high, your vase will drop. If you go too low, it'll drop. Last person standing, wins immunity. This will keep you safe another day in this game. We'll draw for spots, and we'll get started.

Immunity Challenge: A Leg Up
Jeff: Alright, Survivors Ready... Go! Immediately, Vic, Grayson, Lil, Nicki, and Zachariah have fallen. Sharie looking very shaky.

Sharie loses her balance, but regains it.

Jeff: Sharie with a nice save! But she's wobbling again...

Sharie steps back.

Jeff: Sharie is out and we're down to six. Dustin falls! Jorge falls! We're not even three minutes into this challenge, and we're down to four people. Izabella falls! Just like that, we're down to three! Each of them looking very steady. We could be here awhile.

Elapsed Time - 25 Minutes

Jeff: Fredrick with a bit of a wobble, but he regains it.

Jaxon steps off.

Jeff: Out of nowhere, Jaxon is out, and we're down to two! Darrah and Fredrick, two athletes, the two who remain in this challenge.

Elapsed Time - 3 Hours

Jeff: It's been about three hours in this challenge, and neither Fredrick, nor Darrah has moved in over two hours. As I'm saying that, Fredrick begins to wobble.

Fredrick falls off his stand.

Jeff: Fredrick falls off! Darrah, wins immunity! Fredrick, are you all right?

Fredrick: Yeah, Jeff. I'm good.

Jeff: Alright, Darrah, you have individual immunity, which means that you will survive another night in this game. You guys can head back to camp, and i'll see you at tribal.

The castaways head to camp.

Merged Tribe
Izabella: We've gotta come up with a name for our tribe!

Dustin: I had one in my head coming back from the challenge. What about Zahikopu?

Jaxon: That sounds good! Are we all agreed?

Everyone agrees.

Dustin: On three... three, two, one...

Everyone: Zahikopu! Fredrick: Okay, Jorge, Darrah, the plan tonight is Grayson.

Jorge: Any reason?

Fredrick: He's just someone to vote for, I guess.

Darrah: Sounds good, i'll plan on that.

Jorge: Me too. The camera shows Zachariah looking in bushes and trees for the idol.

Zachariah: Damn, what is that boulder doing there?

Zachariah looks around the boulder, and pulls the idol out of a hole in the rock.

Zachariah: Oh, come on, man! You're kidding me! Zachariah (To Rihpo): I found the f***ing idol!

Dustin: No way, man! Awesome! Who should we vote for?

Zachariah: How about Vic?

Grayson: Sounds good to me.

Nicki: Who are we playing it on? The castaways head out to tribal.

Tribal Council
The castaways enter tribal council.

Jeff: I'll now bring in the first member of our jury.

Olly enters tribal, wearing a gray hoodie and sweatpants.

Jeff: Olly voted out at the last tribal council.

Jeff: So, first of all, do you have a tribe name?

Nicki: Dustin, you came up with it. Wanna say it?

Dustin: Zahikopu is our new tribe name.

Jeff: Jaxon. We've had two tribe swaps so far. What tribal lines do you thing will come out tonight?

Jaxon: I'm thinking that the first tribes will stick together. Artists with Artists, Athletes with Athletes and Academics with Academics.

Darrah gets up and whispers to Zachariah. Fredrick sees this and whispers to his alliance. Everyone is whispering to one another.

Jeff: Dustin, what's going on?

Dustin: Jeff, (chuckles), you're interrupting a conversation.

Jeff: (Laughs) All right then.

Darrah: Jeff, can we vote?

Jeff: Does everyone agree that they want to vote now?

Everyone agrees.

Jeff: Alright, it is, time to vote. Grayson, you're up.

Grayson goes to vote.

Nicki, Dustin, Lil, Vic, and Jorge vote.

Fredrick goes to vote. Sharie and Darrah vote.

Zachariah goes to vote. Izabella votes.

Jaxon goes to vote.

Jaxon votes, then sits in his seat.

Jeff: I'll go tally the votes.

Jeff goes to tally the votes, and comes back with the voting urn.

Jeff: If anyone has a hidden immunity idol and would like to play it, now would be the time to do so.

Zachariah: Jeff...

Fredrick gasps in fake shock before smirking, presumably assuming the idol will be played on Zachariah.

Zachariah: A little birdie told me that tonight's a Grayson vote. This is for him.

Archi looks shocked. Vic buries her head in her hands.

Jeff: This is a hidden immunity idol, any votes for Grayson, will not count. I'll read the votes.

Jeff takes the lid off of the urn and takes a slip of paper out.

Jeff: First vote...

''Grayson. Does not count.''

''Grayson. Does not count.''

''Grayson. Does not count.''

''Grayson. Does not count.''

''Grayson. Does not count.''

''Grayson. Does not count.''

''Grayson. Does not count.''

Jeff: That's seven votes Grayson, none of them count.

Vic.

Vic: F***.

Vic.

Jeff: The seventh person voted out and the second member of our jury...

Vic.

Jeff: Vic, please bring me your torch.

Vic does so.

Jeff: Vic, the tribe has spoken.

Jeff snuffs Vic's torch.

Jeff: It's time for you to go.

Vic leaves.

Grayson: Sorry, Vic!

Vic flips Grayson off while she leaves. Grayson laughs.

Jeff: This just goes to show that tribal lines are everything. New Rihpo, you survive another vote. Head back to camp, good night.
