Another Walk In The Park

Another Walk In The Park is the fourth episode of Survivor: Seychelles - Battle Of The Sexes.

Previously On Survivor...

 * Felicity found the Meisie idol…

Felicity is showing unwrapping the hidden immunity idol, panting with excitement, looking gratified.

"meisie"

- You know that saying, about how you’ll never succeed if you don’t try? [laughing through slight tears] Well, this… this is proof of it. This thing just bought me a few extra days of life in this game.


 * The castaways were in for a twist…

Jeff: Drop your buffs.

People begin reacting with shock. There are wide eyes, surprised looks and open jaws.

Westin: That is jacked up.

Jeff: We are switching tribes.


 * Formerly on the outs, both Graham and Felicity hoped for new life in the game.

"seuntjie"

- I needed a tribe swap more than anything!

"seuntjie"

- This is, like, what I’ve been holding out for! This could be my second chance in the game.


 * But for those who were once at the top, the tribe swap left them sitting in despair, on the bottom.

"meisie"

- An early tribe swap gets pulled on us. I also lose my main alliance - Bridgette, Mallorie and Greta - ALL to Seuntjie! I’m stuck in the minority on Meisie with only Sasha for company. This may place me at the bottom, and after I was on top with Bridgette and Mallorie...this is devastating. I’m very worried.


 * On the new Seuntjie tribe, Dillan and Graham thought they'd be on the outs…

Dillan: We could be in trouble, if the girls hold the majority.


 * But feuds amongst the girls put them in a powerful position, as swing votes.

Mallorie is glaring down the beach at Felicity.

Felicity: If we can get those two guys on our side, we control the majority. We need to bring them over to work with us.

"seuntjie"

- It’s so obvious she’s trying to work on getting Dillan and Graham on her side so she can try and punk the rest of us girls. Well, I’m not allowing it! That girl needs to go!


 * Felicity came onto the guys hard.

Felicity: This is a tribe of seven. We’d only need four for the majority. That’s me and Lydia, and you and Graham. It’s done. It’s foolproof.

"seuntjie"

- I was ambushed today by Felicity, who just came on really strongly about how she wanted to align with me and Graham, and it’s told me all that I need to know. She’s on the bottom, with the girls. And she’s desperate for allies.

Felicity: I was, one-hundred percent, on the bottom with the girls too. You and me, we’re like two peas in a pod.

Graham: Oh...are we? [nervous laughter]

Felicity: We've both felt what it's like to be on the bottom, haven't we?

"seuntjie"

- Felicity’s come up to me with this pitch that me and Dillan, and her and Lydia, form an alliance, to go against Mallorie and Bridgette, because according to her, Mallorie and Bridgette are the devils. I don’t know what went on with these girls back on their tribe but clearly it was not all fun and games with them. They have serious beef...and it could be really beneficial for me and Dillan to take advantage of this.


 * Bridgette began crushing on Dillan.

"seuntjie"

- Dillan’s fit and athletic, and he’s totally cute. I could not help getting a little distracted [laughing] looking at...well, looking at him! I mean, hello? He is HOT.


 * And to Felicity’s dismay, Bridgette, Mallorie and Greta were able to sway Dillan and Graham to their side.

Bridgette: Everyone has insecurities, Graham. It’s nothing to feel ashamed about. Greta: That’s right, Graham. No one’s judging you differently here.

Graham: I hope you girls know that...I am totally loyal to you. I cannot leave the guys fast enough because of the way they treated me. This is, like, my dream tribe. I promise unwavering loyalty to this group because you’re exactly the people I’d move forward with.

Bridgette: I think that...us five, right here, could be a very good group moving forward with.

Dillan: Oh, absolutely.

Bridgette: Like, I’m just saying…[smoothing out hair] in an alliance, you’ve got to, like, actually have trust for the people you’re working with. And I just don’t think...Felicity is trustworthy.

"seuntjie"

- I really like the girls, especially Greta and Bridgette. I’ve seen a lot of meek, timid, shy guys like me get picked on early in their games. Some have big redemption story arcs and last pretty far. Others...aren’t always as lucky. I count this tribe swap as my big break. And I’m hoping that by forming new allies in these girls...it can take me far.


 * On the new Meisie tribe, Abraham’s alliance once again held the majority.

Abraham: I say, we just stick with the plan. We stay the course. We have an alliance, and for the most part, we’ve all made it here. We fight hard in the challenges, but if we lose…

Brandy: It’s one of the girls.

"meisie"

- The guys are looking to me for guidance here. We may have left our old tribe, but it’s still mostly the same. I’m still on top of this alliance, and I’m still running the numbers. Sasha and Mary-Anne are the only two girls, and so it’s likely one of them will go home if it comes down to it.


 * Sven got on Sasha’s nerves…

"meisie"

- As soon as we get back to our beach, Sven starts bitching about our shelter, and I’m like…’Excuse me?’ He needs to get the hell off his high horse. Already, he is ticking me off.


 * But Brandy got on her good side.

Brandy: I’m a dad too.

Sasha: Oh yeah?

Brandy: Yeah. I’ve got a little girl.

Sasha: Children are hell to raise, but you can’t help but love them.

"meisie"

- We’re both abrasive and hardhearted at times, but we’re both parents, we both mean well and we both know the hardships of raising children. I see the sensitive side of him despite the gruff exterior and it reminds me of me. I have a lot of sympathy for him after this and honestly? I think he might be a good ally to move forward with.


 * At the immunity challenge, Seuntjie lost.

Jeff: Meisie wins immunity!

Mary-Anne is jumping up and down with glee, jumping into Sasha’s arms for a tight hug.

Felicity is shaking her head and scowling at the other tribe, frustrated.

Lydia: We lost.


 * And with tribal council around the corner, Felicity had to scramble to save herself.

"seuntjie"

- Tribal’s looming up again...and if this was three days ago, I’d be going home, no question. Tonight...I still have an idol. I might have a chance at surviving, but I need to work HARD.


 * Knowing the boys were not going to flip, Felicity tried to convince the girls to stay Meisie-strong.

Felicity: I know that...us girls...we’ve had some issues in the past. But...you know I just want to stay in the game. I will vote however you want me to, to stay in. No games, no trickery...that’s just it.

Mallorie nods, considering this as she studies her feet in the sand.

Felicity: The way I see it...we all pulled our weight in that challenge. The only one dragging his feet in the sand was Graham. If we girls stick together, Meisie-strong, you could get out the two guys tonight. It’d be a neat move, and it’d really send a message to the boys on the other tribe. I’m at my wits’ end. If you’ve thought of making this move, I am at your mercy.


 * But Mallorie would not budge.

"seuntjie"

- Tonight could finally be the night that Felicity Akkerman gets voted out. Her game is done. And I will be very glad to be the one making it happen.


 * Despite both Graham and Felicity praying for a swap to save them, both of them received votes at tribal. But when Felicity played her idol…

Jeff: This IS a hidden immunity idol. Any votes cast for Felicity will not count.


 * It was Felicity’s ally Lydia who paid the ultimate price.

Jeff: Lydia, your tribe has spoken. [snuffs torch]

Lydia: One of you girls win this, alright? Good luck.

Bridgette: Bye Lydia...

Greta: Thanks, sweetheart.

Felicity nods as her last remaining ally leaves the game for good.


 * 13 are left. Who will be voted out…tonight?

Night 9
The episode begins with ominous music, as the scene opens out on the Seuntjie beach. The tribe is walking back from tribal council, carrying their torches.

Bridgette sets her torch down, leaning it against a tree.

Bridgette: That was interesting.

"seuntjie"

- Tribal council was definitely very telling. Felicity, as we feared, did have and play an idol, so, it was down to either Graham or Lydia going and we chose to send Lydia home. She made it no secret that she was aligned with and loyal to Felicity and not us and we decided that if Felicity was safe, she had to be the collateral damage. Graham was already on the bottom with the boys, he’d be a lot more helpful to us down the road and in challenges than Lydia would’ve been. But the danger here is, we’ve made a dangerous enemy.

Felicity is clearly pissed off as she sits down angrily in the shelter, glaring at everyone.

Felicity: Good play.

Mallorie’s eyebrows shoot up behind her fringe at this reaction.

Felicity: I was honest with you girls. I told you I was writing down Graham’s name and that’s exactly what I did. And you bamboozled me.

The camera cuts to Graham, forlorn by the side, looking as if he wants to be as far away from this conflict as possible.

Mallorie: [chuckling] You were not honest with us, Felicity.

Felicity: Oh yeah?

Mallorie: No, we all know what kind of game you’re playing.

Felicity: And what kind of game is that?

Mallorie: You’re a snake. A snake and a rat! You have no loyalty to anyone-

Felicity: Oh yeah? Greta, tell me, was I loyal to you? Hm? Answer me, Greta, was I or was I not loyal to you this whole way through?

Greta: Felicity, I-

Mallorie: You tried to get Dillan [pointing to Dillan] and Graham [pointing to Graham] to vote with you against me. You tried to take me out! I’m not stupid, Felicity! Everyone here can see your game, and you’re not fooling anyone.

Felicity: I’m not trying to fool anyone.

Mallorie: You think you’re smart.

Felicity: I am smart.

Mallorie: You're delusional. You're in this position because you’ve just dug yourself into holes time and time again.

Felicity: I’m smart enough to see that you’re running this camp. You’re in charge of the whole show, you’ve got the girls and the guys eating out of the palm of your hand and everyone here is too damn blind to see it!

She turns to the boys.

Felicity: When I go home, do you think either of you are staying? Because you’re not. She’s going to order her minions to vote both of you out.

Graham shares a look with Dillan.

Mallorie: That’s not going to happen, because we are going to win the next challenge.

Felicity: Oh, are we? And what happens when we lose? After I go home, you two [pointing to the boys] are getting picked off one after the other, and you’re both too blinded by the girls to see it. And you [pointing to Dillan] especially, letting Bridgette flirt with you and cloud your judgment, it’s like taking candy from a baby.

Dillan: [splutters] What’s that got to do with anything?

Felicity: Bro, you are so oblivious. You’re getting played by a girl.

Dillan: Felicity, we didn’t vote with you and Lydia because you were too aggressive. No one here trusts you-

Mallorie: -And no one here likes you. You’ve got the worst social game out here, you’ve made no bonds and no relationships with anyone!

Felicity: And you too! [pointing to Graham] You call yourself a superfan but you can’t do basic math? You can’t do the numbers and realize that you two boys are outnumbered by the girls?

Graham: I don’t-

Felicity: I’m playing with a bunch of idiots.

Bridgette’s jaw drops. Mallorie is shaking her head, smiling coldly.

Mallorie: You’re making a fool of yourself.

Felicity: If I’m going home anyway and no one here is going to use me to make an actual decent move then I might as well. I’d rather go out guns blazing.

Mallorie: As soon as we go back to Tribal Council, you will go home. There’s no two ways about it. You’re going home.

Felicity: [getting up and leaving] You’re a [censored], Mallorie.

Greta claps her hands over her mouth.

Mallorie: That’s real classy.

Felicity: [censored] you.

Greta looks scandalized, and is about to burst into tears again as Bridgette takes her away, patting her on the back.

"seuntjie"

- When we got back to camp, Felicity just...exploded! It all got very vocal...and vulgar...and it was just...so, so painful to sit through. And I feel bad...I chose not to vote with Felicity and she feels betrayed. She feels alone and my heart goes out to her. It was just really hard to have to deal with all of the guilt and the name-calling and the horridness of it all.

Bridgette: Don’t cry, it’s okay…

Greta: It’s just...so awful…

Bridgette: She’s just venting.

Greta: [sniff] She knows I turned my back on her.

Bridgette: That’s part of the game. You know, I feel bad for her on a human level, but it’s all just...part of the game.

Dillan turns to look at Graham and laughs nervously. Graham shrugs, wide-eyed.

"seuntjie"

- And I thought Brandy was bad. [laughing] Felicity let loose once we returned from Tribal. The girls chose to spare me, so thank goodness for that, and Felicity’s ally Lydia went home and she was not a happy camper. She really gave Mallorie a piece of her mind, and it says a lot about Felicity’s character. She’s impulsive and temperamental. [laughing] And I am lowkey scared of her.

Dillan shakes his head.

Dillan: She’s crazy!

Mallorie: She knows she’s on the bottom. She has got to go. She should have absolutely gone home tonight.

"seuntjie"

- Tonight did not go as planned. No one wanted Lydia to go. But because she was loyal to Felicity, she had to. This is all Felicity’s fault. She alienated herself, and she has to face the music. I can’t help it if she can’t accept that, that’s her problem and not mine. And I look forward to the night when I can finally pen her name down and send her packing.

Graham: I just wanted to say...thank you, girls, for keeping me. I mean when I say I am totally down with you girls moving forward in the merge.

Mallorie: And thank you for that, Graham.

Dillan: Don’t sweat it, man. [pats Graham on the back] Let’s just take it one step at a time.

Day 10
Jeff: Come on in guys!

The new Meisie tribe is first to arrive, all rocking their pink buffs.

Jeff: Meisie, getting your first look at the new Seuntjie tribe. Lydia, voted out at the last tribal council.

Sasha scowls, shaking her head slightly. Brandy is eyeing Graham with distaste.

Abraham meets Dillan’s eyes and nod. Bridgette sees Mary-Anne and smiles.

Jeff: Alright. You ready to get to today’s reward challenge?

There is a chorus of assent.

Jeff: For today’s challenge, one tribe member will take on a member of the other tribe. You will both slide down a slippery water slide and when you reach the bottom, you will retrieve a ring and toss it onto a wooden post. If you get your ring onto the post before your opponent, you score a point. The first tribe to score four points wins. Wanna know what you’re playing for?

Sven whoops.

Jeff: [unveils reward] A Survivor kitchen set! Pots, pans, spices, salt and pepper, coffee and cream...this will drastically change the way everything tastes back at your camp, and will make life a lot better.

Mary-Anne is nodding. Kim is licking his lips, nudging Abraham.

Kim: Perfect for you.

Jeff: Meisie tribe, you have the Medallion of Power. Will you be keeping it or giving it up?

Sven beckons to the group, as they huddle up.

Sven: I think we should give it up.

Sasha: You think?

Abraham: What, why?

Sven: I don’t know, I want this reward. It has long-term benefits. We should be thinking long-term.

"meisie"

- I want this reward because it’s not, like, a simple meal that will be finished in an hour and will go down instantly and then, just like that, the value of it’s gone. No, this reward, it improves our standard of living and eating for days to come. I’m thinking long-term, right now. Having this kitchen set could come in very handy for the next few weeks, and so I think we should try and set the other tribe back so we have a higher chance of taking this. And besides, I don’t think we’ll have any trouble beating the other tribe in immunity. Their tribe’s full of girls, and they’ve got Graham! We’ll have no problem beating them even with the Medallion working against us.

Jeff: What’s your decision?

Sven: We’ll give the Medallion up.

Bridgette looks stunned. Mallorie is smirking and shaking her head.

Jeff: Alright, Meisie, give the Medallion up to Seuntjie.

Sven takes the Medallion and passes it to Greta.

Jeff: Seuntjie, this means that you will face a disadvantage in this reward challenge, but you can, if you choose to, impose a disadvantage on the Meisie tribe at the next immunity challenge. Your disadvantage is - you will need to get five rings on your post while the other tribe only needs to score four to win.

Mallorie nods.

Jeff: Now, before we get started, Meisie, you have one extra member. Who are you sitting out?

Mary-Anne looks around for affirmation, and raises her hand.

Mary-Anne: Me.

Jeff: Mary-Anne gonna sit this one out. Everyone else, give you a minute to strategize...then let’s get started.

Soon, the tribes are ready. The first two castaways are up at the top of their slides, and Mary-Anne is sitting on the bench, legs crossed and hands in her lap.

Jeff: Alright, first up, we have Felicity taking on Abraham!

Abraham grins as he bends his knees and gets down low.

Jeff: Survivors ready? Go!

Both of them leap down their slides, as the tribes cheer out encouragement from the sidelines.

Jeff: Abraham down the slide quickly! Felicity hot on his heels!

Abraham is up first, snatching the ring and heading to his mat. Felicity is only an inch behind him, rushing to keep pace.

Abraham throws his ring...it sails in the air...and bounces off the post.

Jeff: No! Abraham’s gotta try again! Felicity, getting ready to shoot for Seuntjie!

Felicity sizes up the post...throws...and misses as well!

Jeff: Felicity shoots too far! Abraham is back!

Abraham throws...and scores.

Jeff: Abraham with a point for Meisie! Meisie leads, 1-0! Next matchup!

Two new castaways are now at the top of the slide.

Jeff: We have Dillan taking on Sven! Survivors ready? Go!

Both men slide down and run to get to their feet, Sven staggering a little and nearly toppling over.

Jeff: Both Dillan and Sven make it down fast, Dillan gets his ring first…

Dillan quickly tosses his ring and it moves gracefully up and plants itself firmly on the wooden post.

Jeff: Just like that, Dillan scores for Seuntjie! We are tied, 1-1!

Sven scowls, tipping his head back as he tosses his ring over his shoulder.

Jeff: Next match-up! We have...Greta taking on Sasha! Survivors ready? Go!

Both women move down their slides, Sasha taking a big lead over Greta, who is panting a little as she hobbles after Sasha.

Jeff: Sasha a few feet before Greta! Sasha could put Meisie in the lead...she’s going to take her shot…

Sasha tosses her ring...it flies up and...lands on the post.

Jeff: In one try, Sasha scores for Meisie, without Greta even making it on the mat! Meisie scores, 2-1! Meisie could be running away with this!

Greta sighs. Sasha winks as Brandy hoots and cheers.

Jeff: Next match-up! It is Bridgette taking on Brandy.

Bridgette is tossing her ponytail behind her, smiling confidently at Brandy.

Jeff: Survivors ready? Go!

Brandy throws himself over the ledge and down his slide, Bridgette whizzing down next to him, shrieking as she goes.

Jeff: Brandy’s down the slide first!

Brandy charges over to his ring, snatches it effortlessly off where it rests and trots over to his mat, eyeing up the post.

Jeff: Bridgette right behind him!

Bridgette has her ring too.

Jeff: Who’s it gonna be?

Brandy throws the ring…and it just narrowly nicks the side of the post.

Jeff: Oh! Brandy misses! Bridgette takes aim…

Bridgette tosses the ring...and it falls short!

Jeff: Bridgette misses too!

Bridgette swears as she runs after her ring.

Jeff: Brandy’s shooting again…

Brandy grips his ring in his fist, breathing heavily, before lobbing it at the post, where it lands squarely on a peg.

Jeff: That will do it, Brandy scores! Meisie leads 3-1!

Bridgette: Damn. Good job, Brandy.

Felicity is sighing from where she stands, as a spectator.

Felicity: Great.

Jeff: Next match-up, we have Graham taking on Kim. Survivors ready? Go!

Both guys shoot down their slides. Kim is up quickly, Graham hustling behind him.

Jeff: Both guys reach their rings at approximately the same time…! Who’s it gonna be?

Kim tosses first, and just misses the post.

Jeff: Kim misses…

Graham tosses...his ring is spinning in the air...it hits the post, appears to bounce off...then bounces back onto it, where it remains precariously perched.

Jeff: Oh…! Graham scores! Seuntjie scores a point! It is now 3-2!

Dillan is clapping loudly, and Bridgette is also cheering.

Dillan: Nice job, Graham!

Graham: Heh, thanks.

Jeff: Next match-up. It is is Westin taking on Mallorie! Go!

Westin lunges down the slide, squeamishly slipping all over the place. Mallorie shoots down it with finesse, keeping her arms by her sides, easily overtaking Westin.

Jeff: Westin launching himself down that slide

Jeff: It is Mallorie with a slight lead over Westin…

Mallorie makes it down and hurries over to grab a ring. Westin is hurrying behind her.

Jeff: Mallorie takes aim…

Mallorie tosses her ring...and lands it!

Jeff: Mallorie scores over Westin! It is tied, 3-3! Meisie needs only one more point to win, Seuntjie needs two!

Mallorie pumps the air with her fist as she rejoins her tribe.

Jeff: Next match-up. This time, we have Abraham again, taking on Dillan.

Abraham reaches over and gives Dillan a quick fist-bump, as the two nod at each other. Felicity notices this, looking suspicious.

Jeff: Survivors ready? Go!

Both men thrust themselves down the slide with great force, as the other two tribes cheer their representatives on.

Jeff: It is a showdown! Who’s gonna get their ring on the post first?

Abraham is up fast, with Dillan just a second behind.

Abraham takes a moment to aim, as Dillan just flings his ring forward, and Abraham shoots a split second after.

Jeff: Both men score and…!

Dillan’s ring lands on the post...and stays! Abraham’s knocks into the post and rolls off.

Jeff: Dillan scores!

The Seuntjie tribe erupts into cheers. Sasha glances at them. Kim is starting to look nervous.

Jeff: This could be a huge comeback for the Seuntjie tribe! We are now at 4-3! Whoever wins this next match-up will take the cake for their tribe.

Dillan exhales, rubbing his hands together. Abraham pats him on the back and they both move to go back to their tribes.

Jeff: Our final match-up...we have Sasha taking on Mallorie.

Sasha is swinging her arms back and forth, looking intense. Mallorie is focused on the task at hand.

Jeff: Survivors ready? Go!

Once both girls get down the slide, they race to their rings. Sasha gets to hers first...shoots...and misses!

Jeff: Sasha just barely misses!

The guys on her tribe are moaning as she rushes to retrieve her ring.

Jeff: Mallorie shoots…!

Mallorie’s ring sails through the air...and scores!

Jeff: That’ll do it! Seuntjie wins reward, and the underdogs take it!

Mallorie throws her hands up in the air as Dillan picks her up for a big group hug. Even Felicity looks delighted. The Meisie tribe is shaking their heads, disappointed.

Abraham: It’s okay. You did good. [patting Sasha on the back]

Sven: Damn...I thought we had that.

Mary-Anne pouts.

Jeff: Seuntjie, well-earned. Come and take your reward.

A gleeful Bridgette skips over to take the basket of kitchen supplies back to the tribe.

Jeff: As for you, Meisie, you gave up the Medallion but it still wasn’t enough. We’ll see if that decision comes back to haunt you later on. Grab your stuff and head back to camp.

The tribes move to leave in slow motion, and the camera focuses on Sasha as she walks.

"meisie"

- Not only did we lose that reward challenge, we also wasted the Medallion and now, we’re going to be set back at our next immunity, and that could very likely be the decision that costs us the next challenge. I don’t want to go back to tribal council, not when everything on this tribe still seems up in the air as to where me and Mary-Anne stand on this group of guys. We should not have given up the Medallion, and for that, I blame Sven.

Returning to the Seuntjie camp, the Seuntjie tribe is in high spirits. Bridgette squeals as she sets down the basket of kitchen supplies on a nearby tree stump.

Bridgette: Good job, guys!

Greta: Yes, very well done!

Mallorie: Everyone did great.

Dillan: We gave it our all, and that’s what matters. So we deserve to enjoy today!

"seuntjie"

- Today, even with low numbers and the Medallion working against us, our tribe came through and we won the reward challenge and it was a phenomenal victory. That was, again, another David-versus-Goliath moment. We went into that challenge, set up to lose, and we pulled through, and so everyone, even Felicity, was just in really good spirits and the mood around camp was great. It was like a little family.

Dillan is unpacking the supplies, with Graham sitting nearby, helping him.

Graham: [holding up a marked pot] “Salt.”

Dillan: I wonder what that could be.

Graham: I don’t think Felicity needs any more of this.

Dillan laughs.

Dillan: Is that a joke? You’re really opening up a lot more nowadays, aren’t you?

Graham: Yeah, well, it just feels good to be around people I actually like as opposed to...well…

Dillan: Oh, so you don’t hate me?

Graham: Well, you’re one of the ones on our old tribe I detest the least. I’d say that’s as good as anything.

Dillan: Heh…

"seuntjie"

- Being stuck on a tribe where I was in the supposed minority and losing the rest of my alliance, I’ve had to form brand new bonds and forge old ones that didn’t exist and that’s had to push me and Graham into having a new friendship. I have to say he’s been way cooler to hang out with than I would’ve initially imagined. It’s like meeting him again, for the first time, without Brandy and Abraham and Sven around making him feel caged in.

He looks away from the kitchen set for a moment.

Dillan: Listen...I know the guys like Brandy and Sven gave you hard time...and I wanted to apologize for it. They treated you like absolute pricks. Guys like Logan...he didn’t stand for that kind of behavior and...he paid a hefty price for going against them. I know that’s...I’m just trying to say...you know, I’m sorry they treated you that way.

Graham: Yeah, well...who cares about them?

Dillan: It’s just...you know that they were running a big show, right?

Graham: I’d guess...they were in charge of an alliance.

Dillan: Yeah.

Graham: Abraham?

Dillan: He was the de facto leader.

Graham: He’s the kind of guy who can’t resist being top dog. I’m surprised no one thought to overthrow him.

Dillan: That’s the thing. Having a guy like him in charge makes him a sucker for being targeted. And once you overthrow the leader...who becomes the next ‘Abraham’?

Graham: I see what you mean. That’s why I say it’s better to be part of an alliance that’s on an equal level...though I guess...there’s no such thing, there’ll always be someone on the bottom.

Dillan is now unpacking more of the pots and spices, holding up a jar marked ‘Pepper’.

Graham: If we do merge...with them...what would your plan be then?

Dillan shrugs.

Dillan: I don’t know. I’d rather tackle that when we get down to it.

Graham is thinking hard.

Graham: I’d go after them, to be honest. I think Abraham and Brandy are the strongest duo out here.

Dillan shrugs.

Dillan: I suppose…

Graham: Then again, we still have to get through this tribe swap. [leans in close] Once Felicity goes, we could be next in line.

Dillan meets his eyes.

Dillan: I guess we’ll have to make sure that doesn’t happen, huh? [laughing]

Graham: Oh, don’t worry, with a tough guy like me on the team, there’s no way we’re losing.

Dillan: [chuckling] Where was this new Graham one week ago?

Graham: Eh, well, you know, Brandy killed him.

"seuntjie"

- Me and Dillan are forming an unexpected bromance. I never really thought of him as a friend before when the tribe was full of guys and he was hanging around Abraham and Sven, but now that we’re forced to have to work with each other to survive, he’s actually pretty cool. And with this comes the possibility of us building a stronger connection, and potentially even working together down the road.

Day 11
A new morning dawns on the Seuntjie beach. Felicity is up bright and early, watching Dillan as he makes his way up the beach, dripping wet, with two clams in his hands. Bridgette is tagging along next to him, also carrying clams with her.

Dillan: Breakfast is ready!

The girls and Graham are sitting up. Greta smiles and thanks Dillan as he hands her a clam. Mallorie is prying one open, wrinkling up her nose.

Dillan: What is it now, Day 10?

Mallorie: It’s Day 11. I’ve been keeping count. Can you believe it's been almost two weeks since we started this adventure? It’s been pretty crazy, huh?

"seuntjie"

- Being out here playing Survivor, it’s a pretty awesome experience. And I want to take the time to appreciate the fact that we’re a group of strangers who all came out here, willingly stranded ourselves on a deserted island with only a camera crew for company and each other, to play this game for a million dollars. It’s not an everyday experience and I want to cherish the fact that I’m still out here and still living out this journey every step of the way.

Mallorie: I’m having a lot of fun out here. I mean, I know we’re grimy and dirty and disgusting and starving, but this is a lot of fun.

Bridgette: Yeah! I’ve been having a lot of fun too.

While the others talk, Felicity is alone, looking sour. Greta sits down next to her pointedly, looking sorry for her.

Greta: Felicity, dear, are you alright?

Felicity: I’m fine. [deep sigh] I’m just trying to enjoy my last few days out here before you guys all send me packing.

Greta bites her lip, reproachful.

Greta: Come on, Felicity.

Felicity: Everything I’ve tried to do, every move I’ve tried to make - stonewalled, over and over again. The plan to evict Bridgette failed, the plan to evict Mallorie failed, the plan to evict Graham failed...I don’t even know why I bother.

Depressed, she gets to her feet.

"seuntjie"

- Right now, Mallorie thinks herself the Queen Bee, and I want to overthrow her so badly...for Lydia. But with no allies and no idols, I need to work hard to save myself. I’m not stranger to working hard, I’ve been fighting the whole game. So...sadly, I guess this is just another walk in the park for me.

Dillan and Mallorie look up as Felicity walks off.

Dillan: Where’s she going?

Mallorie: Idol hunting again, most likely.

Dillan: Should we tail her?

Mallorie: [sigh] Why not? Let’s go.

The two get up to follow Felicity, and Bridgette hops to her feet to follow.

The camera follows Felicity as she continues another trek into the forest. A ways away behind her, Dillan, Mallorie and Bridgette are on her trail, in a very un-stealth-like manner.

Bridgette: This feels like spy stuff. [giggle]

Mallorie: Watch it. Shh…

Felicity rolls her eyes at the camera as she keeps walking.

Meanwhile, on the Meisie beach…

Sven is leaning on his back in the sand, propping his head up in his hands and shaking his legs as he stares out at the open ocean, tanning.

He squints his eyes in the light, watching as Abraham and Brandy walk down the beach, each toting around a large clump of firewood, talking to each other.

Mary-Anne plops down next to him.

Mary-Anne: ‘Sup?

Sven: Hey, crazy gal.

He whistles a little, looking bored.

"meisie"

- One thing that they don’t tell you about playing Survivor, is that there are long periods of time when you aren’t playing the game, and it gets boring. It’s been almost a week since our last tribal and I am bored. I came here to play a cutthroat game, to make masterful moves and to slit throats and stab backs and I haven’t been doing very much of it yet other than doing Abraham and Brandy’s dirty work in kicking Logan out. Abraham and Brandy, they don’t include me in their chats anymore. They’re always going off on their own to talk strategy or to chat and to bond and sometimes they rope along Sasha. I’m always going to feel like the third wheel stuck with the pair of them. And I think it’s high time for that to change. It’s time for me to rise up and take my rightful spot in control of my own game. This is my game, and not Abraham’s.

Sven: What do you think of your position in the game?

Mary-Anne: Uh, well, you know, I’m just...trying to get along with everyone. We have a strong tribe. I’m hoping that gets me to the merge.

Sven: So you can go back to the girls?

Mary-Anne: [turning red] I...don’t mean that, I mean…

Sven: [laughing] You’re cute when you blush, you know that?

Mary-Anne: Uhh...thank you?

Sven: Do you feel like you’re on the bottom right now?

Mary-Anne: ...Why? Am I on the bottom?

Sven: Well, I’m just saying...I’m keeping it real with you here, if we go back to another tribal I think you’ll be the one going home.

Mary-Anne looks stunned.

"meisie"

- Out of nowhere, Sven starts rubbing it in my face that...I’m on the bottom of this new tribe, and I’m just wondering, where in the world did this come from? Like, is this supposed to be endearing? Is he trying to cheer me up? Does he want to make me feel worse? What is happening? [laughing] I’m so confused!

Sven: So you’re probably on the bottom. I’m not attacking you, I’m just...calling it as I see it.

Mary-Anne: [absent-mindedly playing with sand] Okay...no offense taken...so I’m an easy vote?

Sven: I mean, it doesn’t have to be that way. I think you can be used in the future for us to...make some moves.

Mary-Anne: [taking a deep breath, as if steeling herself] Well, you know, if I really am on the bottom-

Sven: You are.

Mary-Anne: ...if I really am on the bottom, I’m, like...totally open to any options to, you know, make moves that can benefit both you and I.

Sven sniffs, looking over to where Brandy and Abraham are now dumping the firewood into a small pile.

Sven: What do you say we take out Abraham first?

Wacky music plays in the background as Mary-Anne blinks drunkenly, looking taken aback.

Mary-Anne: I’m sorry?

Sven: I mean, come on. Any idiot can see the man’s in control.

Mary-Anne: I...I don’t doubt that.

"meisie"

- You know, I really like Mary-Anne. She’s the perfect girl. She’s a little air-headed, a little ditzy, good on the eyes but not a lot up in here *taps forehead* and that makes her perfect for a guy like me to use to further myself in the game. I’m getting tired of Abraham always being the one in control. Logan tried to take a shot at his right-hand man Brandy, but I think Abraham is the bigger threat in the long run. He’s a dictator. I know the people want entertainment, and what’s going to be more exciting? Getting rid of an easy vote in Mary-Anne or using her to shake up the game? I think the latter, and I’m happy to deliver on that promise. Better I strike against Abraham first, than give him the opportunity to strike back at me. Mary-Anne’s on the bottom. She can’t do anything! She can only do one thing to save herself: and that’s having no choice but aligning with me, because I’m the only one who can keep her around in this game. She’ll be indebted to me, and it’s the perfect scenario for me to step up and start making big moves.

Sven: Abraham and Brandy are...attached at the hip.

Mary-Anne nods meekly.

Sven: So I think that needs to be split up. Like, it’s common sense.

Mary-Anne: Yeah. I see your point.

Sven: It’s a possible option we could explore.

Mary-Anne: As long as it means me not going home...I’m golden.

Sven holds out a hand and she hesitates before quickly shaking it.

Sven: Let’s see how it goes.

By the firewood, Abraham and Brandy are arranging it into a neat pile, as Sasha watches them from the shelter of the...shelter, chewing a toothpick in her mouth. Brandy is sharing some of his past experiences…

Brandy: ...and that’s when I broke his nose.

Sasha: Oh yeah? [snigger] No way.

Brandy: I did. I straight up broke the fella’s nose. Everytime I see him in the bar, I’m reminded of it because I see he still has a scar from where my ring scratched his cheek.

Abraham: Dude, you punch first and clear the air later.

Brandy: I know. I can’t help it. He was being a [censored], what can I tell ya? But yeah, that’s why office work just isn’t for me. I took to the air a lot more easily.

Sasha: Is it fun...you know, piloting a copter?

Brandy: Oh, sure. You feel invincible, like no one can touch you up there in the skies, away from everyone else’s bull[censored]-

Sasha and Abraham laugh.

Brandy: ...and all the [censored] you have to deal with back on ground level. Tell you what, when we get off this island, I’ll take you two [censored] for a ride.

Sasha: That sounds fun.

Abraham: I’d appreciate that. And you guys can come to the restaurant where I work. Meals will be on me.

Sasha: That’s nice. I’m not made out of money so I probably would never get to ride in a copter or eat at a five-star joint otherwise.

Abraham: Hah, I ain’t no five-star chef. We’re average, at best. And my boss is a [censored].

Sasha: Is he Gordon Ramsay bad?

Abraham: Pretty much, except he’s nowhere near as good a cook, so he’s got all the bad and none of the good.

Brandy: Gordon Ramsay is a beast, man, I would love to meet him one day.

Abraham: He would be a nightmare to work with in a kitchen, I’ve been through enough hell in kitchens already, it is no joke.

Brandy snorts and wipes his nose with the back of his hand.

Brandy: This is fun. I like just talking with you guys. It feels like you two are the only ones I can actually have a decent conversation with. Everyone else is just phoney or fake.

Abraham: Oh yeah?

Sasha: Even Sven?

Brandy: We talk crap about him all the time. The guy’s a total narcissist.

Abraham: Yeah, he’s got the biggest ego on the planet. He thinks he knows everything.

Sasha: Why are you aligned with him then?

Brandy: You can tell?

Sasha: I’m observant. I’m also not blind.

Abraham: He just wants to feel like he’s working in a group of guys. I say, let him be.

"meisie"

- Almost two weeks into this game...I have gotten a little more time to get to know these people...and maybe starting an alliance on, like, Day 1 or 2...wasn’t the best idea. There was Logan, who, after all, tried to take out my boy Brandy. There’s Sven, who turned out to be a lot less self-aware and a lot more hypocritical than I realized. And then there’s Dillan, who’s off on the other tribe being their only physical asset and the kid may even make himself a target for it. Kim, who ironically was meant to be just an affiliate and our sixth number, turned out to be better and more loyal than the lot. I guess it just goes to show alliances are built on a number of factors, and I’m starting to realize that now days into this game.

Brandy: I’m sure there are a lot more alliances out there. Hell, we could start one right now.

Sasha: You think?

Brandy: I think we could go deep. I mean, I respect you a lot, I hope you feel the same way. We both do.

Sasha: I’m sold. I really am.

Abraham: We could be a secret trio that no one knows about, us three.

"meisie"

- Me, Sasha and I - we’re peas in a pod, we’re from the same mold, or whatever. I trust the two of them, I like both of them, and they’re both the kind of people I’d like to associate with. People who know the hardships of life and have suffered through it all, they’ve got steel, and I respect that.

Sasha: Just so you know, I don’t intend on sticking with the girls anyway when we merge. I go for people I trust. They sent my only real ally home last tribal.

Abraham: Who? Lydia?

Sasha: Yeah. So I don’t have any ties left with them.

Abraham: What’s up with Mary-Anne?

Sasha: She’s...well, she’s...just sort of...around.

Brandy: Golly.

Sasha: [laughing] She’s not bad, she’s just...she was part of another crowd when the girls were all intact.

Brandy grunts.

Abraham: She had her own group, huh?

Sasha: Yep.

Abraham: And now she’s alone.

"meisie"

- Sasha gave us an interesting little nugget of info about Mary-Anne, who was on the top of her tribe when the girls were all together, and now she’s on the bottom. I have to say, it makes her dangerous, if she has more loyalty to the girls later on. She’s starting to look like a very viable candidate for elimination the next chance we get. Though anything could change, it’s definitely what I’m thinking of as of right now.

As night falls on the Seuntjie beach, Felicity is giving up on her failed idol hunt, and is back in the shelter as darkness overwhelms the sky. She is sleepily looking up at the stars as they appear, as if counting them.

Greta looks worried. She nudges Graham, who is next to her.

Greta: Graham, honey, I’m worried about Felicity. I feel bad.

Graham: Why?

Greta: I feel like I’m responsible for betraying her.

Graham: Don’t feel bad, Greta. It’s the game. Besides, by turning your back on her, you were loyal to us.

He smiles and she eventually smiles back.

"seuntjie"

- I still have a hard time adjusting to the vicious nature of this game. I’m a mom. I’m not used to that. But I know...it’s what I signed up for. I have to become strong enough to deal with my emotions. I didn’t leave my kids behind to break down over and over again. It’s just...hard, is all. I really needed Graham’s words of comfort and I figure...that from a person to another person...Felicity might need some words of mine too.

Greta takes a seat next to Felicity again.

Greta: You alright?

Felicity: Yeah...just enjoying the night sky before I go home tomorrow.

Greta: Felicity, don’t do this to yourself, and to me.

Felicity: I’m not doing anything, Greta.

Greta: You’re making me feel guilty!

Felicity: You’re making yoursel- I mean...just...don’t worry about it, okay?

"seuntjie"

- I have to hold my tongue when dealing with Greta because the woman is an emotional train wreck, and I don’t even know why. It’s not like she’s the first mom to come out here and play this game, a lot of moms have played Survivor and some have kicked ass. I don’t know what’s Greta’s deal. She cries at the slightest provocation. But...if she feels guilty...and I guilt trip her enough...she might be my key to saving myself in this game, if I can literally guilt her into voting to keep me. Every person in this game is a potential vote to be swayed. That’s the nature of this game and I have to keep that in mind, that this is a social game, and that was my mistake at the beginning. I need to turn this around. I never give up and I never surrender. Mallorie countered my attacks but this is my next move.

Felicity: Listen...when we merge…

Greta: Yeah?

Felicity: Who on this tribe do you think will be the most threatening?

Greta thinks on it.

Greta: Mallorie?

The camera cuts to Mallorie by the fire, the flames ominously casting her face in shadow.

Felicity: No. Dillan.

The camera now cuts to Dillan, laughing with Bridgette, sitting ridiculously close to her such that she is almost in his lap.

Greta: Dillan? Why?

Felicity: Think about it. When we merge, and those boys invade our new camp, who will Dillan join forces with? He has connections to the other tribe. There’s a reason Graham so quickly joined up with Bridgette and Mallorie, there’s a reason the girls saved him over Lydia, it’s because he was already on the bottom with the boys from Seuntjie and he is a sure vote against them, no matter what, because of how on the bottom he was. That is why Mallorie brought him into your alliance. But what about Dillan? No. If you pay attention, you can see him exchanging friendly gestures with the other guys. He has connections with them. And that will be dangerous at the merge, because he can very easily jump ship.

Greta: His connections...could also be an asset?

Felicity: You want to risk that? You could end up in the minority if Dillan jumps ship. But me? As much bad blood as we have, I will not jump ship to those boys. If you save me, I have guaranteed loyalty to you. I will owe you too much to break my word. I promise you.

Greta hesitates.

Felicity: I’m just saying, Greta...I had your back from the start, I always have and I always will. Please...put in a good word for me...keep me around. I don’t want to go just yet. That’s my pitch.

While Greta looks to be in turmoil, Graham is sitting down and joining Bridgette, Mallorie and Dillan by the fire, as Mallorie is lightly salting a fish Dillan caught earlier that day.

Mallorie: A reward...well earned.

Graham: I’m starving.

Dillan: You know, I’m a little bored. Does anyone want to play Truth or Dare?

Bridgette: Ooh! Yes!

Graham: Oh, please no. [laughing] That’s such a dumb party game and it’s totally meant for hot and cute people. No one wants to play with the geek.

Dillan: Mm, so just me and Bridgette then?

Mallorie: I dare you two to kiss.

Dillan: [laughing] That’s not how it works-

Bridgette: I’d do it.

Dillan: Gah, you are so thirsty, you know that?

Bridgette: I’m just kidding...but you know...we could always steal away a couple moments to ourselves?

Dillan: Wha-

Bridgette: I’m just kidding again...look at you! Flushing all red.

Graham: Alright, I don’t want to see anymore of this mushy stuff, I’m taking my leave.

Mallorie: Same.

Bridgette: Alright, alright, I’m just joking. There aren’t any other guys here, who am I to flirt with?

Graham: Gee, thanks.

Mallorie: How about don’t flirt at all?

As the four laugh, a hint of concern flickers over Bridgette’s face.

"seuntjie"

- I will admit...I have been enjoying flirting with Dillan. [laughing] It’s so easy to get him all hot and bothered. But...it does worry me that we can be seen as a power couple if I get a little too carried away. But I want to, you know, act a little flirty and a little ditzy. I want people to underestimate me and think that I’m just here to have fun, but I’ll always have one eye on the prize. My mind is always on the game. And to me...I just think it’s fun to string Dillan along a little. A cute guy, and he can help me with strategy? And I’m in a tight alliance with my girl Mallorie? What more could I ask for? [laughing] It’s perfect.

Day 12
Jeff: Come on in guys!

In enter the two tribes, ready for the challenge. Felicity looks low.

Jeff: Alright, you guys ready to get to today’s immunity challenge?

Everyone choruses “Yes!”

Jeff: First things first, Meisie, I will take it back.

Abraham hands the idol back.

Jeff: Once again, immunity is back up for grabs. For today’s challenge, you will push a cart through an obstacle course. There are towers situated at a few intervals within the obstacle course. At each tower, you will retrieve a key. You will use the key to unlock a chest, which you will then put on your cart. Once you have collected three chests, you must disassemble the cart, slide it through a barricade, put it back together and make your way to the end where two tribe members will use the puzzle pieces in the chests to assemble a giant dragon-themed puzzle. First tribe to assemble their puzzle wins immunity. Losers go to tribal council, where somebody will be the fourth person voted out of Survivor: Seychelles.

Kim exhales, shaking his head. Sven is nodding, squinting at Jeff calculatingly.

Jeff: Seuntjie, you have the Medallion. Do you wish to give it up?

Mallorie is nodding.

Mallorie: No discussion. They can have it.

"seuntjie"

- Me and Bridgette, we did discuss beforehand about...whether we wanted to keep the Medallion, just so we could get rid of Felicity faster...but we decided...the odds were stacked against us anyway. We might as well take any and every advantage we could get.

Jeff: Alright, Meisie, your disadvantage will be that three of your puzzle pieces - one in each chest - are decoy pieces that do not fit anywhere, making your puzzle much harder. Meisie, you also have one extra member, who are you sitting out?

Westin raises his hand.

Jeff: Westin, take a spot on the bench. Everybody else, I’ll give you a minute to strategize and then we’ll get started.

Soon, the two tribes are on their respective mats and geared up for the challenge.

"seuntjie"

- I know that if we lose today’s challenge...I’m a goner. And if I am going home tonight...I’m not going home without knowing I gave it my absolute best in today’s challenge. I am not one to lie down and die.

Jeff: Survivors ready? ...Go!

The tribes race out, pushing their carts along.

Jeff: It is Bridgette getting the first key for Seuntjie...Mary-Anne getting the first key for Meisie!

Sasha: You got it, Mary-Anne, there you go!

Jeff: Mary-Anne’s got the key for Meisie! Bridgette’s got it one second after!

Both girls drop the keys down. Brandy catches his, and Dillan catches his. Both start working on unlocking the chests and loading them onto the carts.

Jeff: Unlock those chests and get them on the carts! You can’t progress until your chests are on your carts! It is Meisie charging ahead right out of the gate!

Meisie is moving forward.

Dillan finally gets the chest unlocked and soon Seuntjie is racing after Meisie.

Jeff: It is now Kim working on the second key! Dillan getting the second key for Seuntjie!

Kim is struggling, grimacing in the harsh sunlight.

Jeff: Dillan gets the second key for Seuntjie, you now have to unlock your second chest!

Brandy: Let’s go!

Abraham: Keep it steady, Kim, you can do this.

Jeff: Kim finally has the second key! Seuntjie is now moving towards their third and final chest!

The Seuntjie tribe is lugging their cart along, all panting with the strenuous effort. Mallorie is now climbing up to get the third and final key.

Jeff: Meisie moving on for their final chest! Abraham working on the final key!

Mallorie gets her key off its perch, and Abraham too a split second later.

Jeff: Both tribes heading out with their third and final chests! Now, you need to disassemble your cart and pass both your cart and chests through the gate!

The Seuntjie tribe is talking amongst themselves.

Mallorie: Alright, alright, take off its wheels-

Bridgette: Tip it over here-

Greta: I don’t know how…

Graham: Uh…

Felicity: Just take the bottom of it out! Take it apart! Pull the damn thing up!

Dillan is ripping apart the structure of the cart, as they converge on it. The Meisie tribe is also disassembling their cart, with Abraham and Sven barking out instructions - contradictory ones - to be heard over the other.

Jeff: People are going back and forth!

Both tribes are moving their cart pieces and chests through their gates with similar efficiency.

Jeff: Two different strategies coming into play here in how you get your pieces through! People are squeezing pieces through holes in the bottom, shoving them through holes in the top...it is a race! We are neck and neck! And you still have to reassemble your carts at the end of the gate and put your chests back on!

Meisie has their cart ready and are moving on. A few seconds behind them, Seuntjie is rushing to follow.

Jeff: We’ve got a battle here! Everyone digging deep to get their carts through their last few obstacles!

Meisie arrives at the end a little faster, and the puzzle makers are getting to work.

Jeff: It is Sasha and Mary-Anne working on the puzzle!

Abraham: You’ve got this, girls!

Jeff: Seuntjie is at their puzzle as well! It is Graham and Mallorie working on their puzzle!

The two pairs of puzzle solvers are turning over pieces and rushing to work on their puzzles. Graham is pointing out the frame of the puzzle, and Mallorie is moving fast, but also thinking, her eyes roving over the pieces as if noting down the details of each one as they pass under her gaze.

Sasha is quickly tossing pieces around, randomly jabbing pieces into various spots to see if they fit. Mary-Anne steps back a bit, as if to analyze the whole thing.

Jeff: Both pairs are studying their puzzles with varying strategies...which pair will come out on top today?

The tribes are shouting encouragement to their tribe members.

Both pairs are now getting to work. Sasha is shoving pieces in willy-nilly, much to Sven’s ire.

Sven: That’s not the way to do it, the pieces don’t go there! Have you never seen a puzzle before?

Sasha: Maybe I could work on it a little better if you would stop yelling at me!

Sven: I’m trying to help you! If you don’t listen, you’re getting it wrong-

Jeff: Sven, yelling to make himself heard-

Sasha: Why don’t you do the damn puzzle then?

Jeff: Sasha, getting frustrated.

Sasha: My method works, alright?

Sven: Alright. Whatever.

Graham and Mallorie are speeding through their puzzle, having already completed their first of three sections.

Jeff: Graham and Mallorie working very well together!

Graham: And this goes here…

Mallorie: Right. And this fits here…

They put in a couple more pieces and finish another section.

Jeff: Graham and Mallorie with another piece...and another...this could be it...they are done with their second section of their puzzle, and Sasha and Mary-Anne aren’t finished with their first!

Sasha: Damn it.

Sweat is trickling down Sasha’s face but she is working furiously. Mary-Anne is thinking hard, assessing the puzzle and looking over the pieces, but not working or joining Sasha in her mad dash.

Jeff: Seuntjie could be running away with it here…

Graham puts in another piece, looking as if it is piecing itself together in his mind as well as in front of him. Mallorie is nodding as she helps put in more pieces, her hands moving swiftly.

Jeff: Graham and Mallorie are close!

With a satisfying grunt, Graham and Mallorie both insert the final piece in unison.

Jeff: Seuntjie wins immunity!

Mallorie: Up top.

She holds out a hand and Graham high fives her, as the Seuntjie tribe erupts into celebration behind them. Bridgette envelops Mallorie in a hug and almost lifts her up, and Greta is patting the girls on the backs. Dillan scoops Graham up too and is grinning widely. Even Felicity is clapping and smiling, looking relieved.

On the Meisie mat, the guys are trading looks of disappointment. Mary-Anne looks visibly crushed, dropping a limp puzzle piece to the floor where it thuds into the sand.

Sasha curses, sweeping a few pieces off the table, pissed off.

Jeff: Seuntjie - immunity. [hands Graham the idol] Well done. You have done well thus far and proven you are contenders to be reckoned with. Enjoy the night off.

He turns to Meisie.

Jeff: As for you guys, unfortunately, tribal council is tonight, where one of you will be voted out and become the fourth person voted out of this game. Grab your stuff and head back to camp. I’ll see you tonight at tribal.

The Meisie tribe gets ready to leave.

The camera pans down the line to where Sasha is walking, glowering at the back of Sven’s head.

"meisie"

- In the challenge, Sven was basically showering us with spit when we got down to the puzzle. The way I see it, for Sven, it’s either his way or the highway. He wants everything to go out his way, and he wants to show everyone how intelligent he is, how smart he is at the puzzle, like, ‘oh, look at me, I know where all the pieces go and you don’t, so shut up and listen to me’. He has a fragile ego and an astounding lack of self-awareness and he is on my last nerve right now.

The tribe returns to their beach, where the group is putting their stuff down, looking bleak.

Abraham: We did our best, guys.

"meisie"

- So there’s tribal council tonight...and uh...for now, I believe the plan stays the same, and that we are going to be getting rid of one of the people on the bottom. Me and Brandy formed a secret alliance with Sasha, and I for one plan to stick to that. So Sasha’s safe in my book. Sven and Kim are aligned with us. That leaves Mary-Anne and Westin on the outs, and it’s just a matter of who we choose to send home.

Sven: I told you guys to follow my lead on the puzzle but you didn’t listen to me!

Sasha: Whatever, dude. If you wanted to do it so badly, you could’ve volunteered.

Kim: Break it up, guys. It’s nobody’s fault.

Everyone leaves and goes their separate ways.

Abraham is heading down the beach to where Brandy has gathered Sven and Kim around him.

Westin is standing a distance away from them, stretching his hands over his head as he watches the group of four talk strategy. Mary-Anne walks up to stand next to him.

Mary-Anne: What are they doing?

Westin: Discussing which one of us to vote out, I’m sure.

Mary-Anne: You know, they are a tight four. That’s dangerous.

Westin: I guess.

Mary-Anne: They’ve got the numbers right now.

"meisie"

- With tribal council looming up, I know my situation is not ideal. I am...most likely on the bottom of this tribe of seven. Abraham’s alliance with Brandy, Sven and Kim control the numbers at this point. The only way this vote goes my way is if we can convince them to turn on each other, or they spare me - for whatever reason - and vote off Westin, or Sasha. Sasha’s been having my back since the swap, and so for that, I don’t want her to go, nor do I think she’s in any danger tonight. And unless I can bring about a change in the dynamics of the tribe, I am pretty certain that it’ll be me and Westin on the chopping block for being on the outs. And it’s absolutely crushing to know that I was sitting pretty back with Bridgette and Mallorie, but now I’ve lost my core alliance and am at the mercy of these men.

Brandy: So who’s it gonna be tonight?

Abraham: What is everyone thinking?

Kim: I think Mary-Anne.

Abraham: Yeah?

Kim: I mean, we said she was the weakest in challenges.

Brandy: We have the numbers, so we decide who goes.

Abraham: What do you guys think about Westin?

Sven: He’s a slippery, slippery snake.

Brandy: It all depends on how comfortable you feel keeping either one of them in.

Abraham: I just want all of us here to be comfortable with whatever decision we decide on because it could really have a profound impact on the rest of the game. I don’t want whoever we keep to screw things up for us in the future.

Brandy: Alright, so what exactly are we considering here? Do we want to keep Westin for challenge strength or…?

Abraham: Well, I mean, he isn’t particularly strong either, right? He’s a skinny little prick.

Kim: Is he trustworthy?

Brandy: He likes causing chaos for the fun of it, I think we’ve established that by now.

Abraham: Yeah, he’ll be a troublemaker down the road.

Sven: And Mary-Anne?

Brandy: She’s got connections-

Abraham: Yeah.

Brandy: -to the other tribe.

"meisie"

- Right now, our two options are Mary-Anne and Westin. We’ve always wanted to get rid of Westin at some point because the guy is devious and cunning. Mary-Anne is, we view, the weakest challenger right now, plus she has connections to the other girls. So it’s one or the other going home.

Brandy: We’ve gotta come to a decision eventually.

Abraham: Alright, let’s just take it easy for a little.

The boys disperse.

Mary-Anne approaches Sasha in the shelter.

Mary-Anne: Do you think I’m going home?

Sasha: [shrugging] I have no idea. They haven’t talked to me yet.

Mary-Anne: I’m really nervous.

Sasha: Alright, I’ll go talk to them.

She gets up and leaves. As Westin clambers into the shelter, lazing around, Sven approaches both him and a visibly jittery Mary-Anne.

Sven: Mary-Anne. You want to stay safe, right?

Mary-Anne: Why? What’s your plan?

Sven: Abraham’s going to come after you.

Mary-Anne: Is he?

Sven: That’s the plan of the alliance.

Mary-Anne: And what can I do about it?

Sven: Would you be down for voting Abraham tonight?

Mary-Anne: If it saves me...I’ll do it, I mean.

Sven looks to Westin, who is eyeing the former.

Sven: And you?

Westin: How many votes do you need?

Sven: Four, to get the majority.

"meisie"

- I’m tired of Abraham controlling the majority. As far as I’m concerned, I say tonight’s the time to make a change. I want to orchestrate this blindside, and Abraham will never see it coming, not in a million years, and it’ll be because of me. Mary-Anne, Sasha, Westin - they’re all three on the bottom of the totem pole and fighting for their lives, they need someone to throw them a bone and that person is me. They have no choice but to listen to what I tell them to do. They’re nothing but chess pieces in this grand scheme and Abraham is the kingpin no longer. It’s the golden opportunity to make a big move and cement myself as a strategic mastermind in this game, and take the reins of my game in my own hands.

Sasha is walking down to talk with Abraham and Brandy, as the former is standing and looking out at sea, while the latter is on one knee, rolling a seashell around in his fingers.

Sasha: Hey, boys. What’s the plan tonight?

Abraham: Alright, so…[looks to make sure they are not in earshot of others] We’re still a little on the fence but for now...it’s looking to be Mary-Anne.

Sasha: Mary-Anne, okay.

Brandy: You want to make a case for Westin to go home?

Sasha: I...I feel like I’ll go with what you guys decide.

Brandy: Alright.

Abraham: But nothing’s set in stone until the sun goes down, and even then, things change. Westin could still be the one going home. I’ve never trusted him.

Brandy: He’s relayed a ton of info to you, hasn’t he?

Abraham: He’s done it all to spark conflict. He has no true allegiance and has formed no genuine bonds out here. I just can’t trust a guy like that.

Brandy: Would you prefer the vote to be Westin then?

Abraham: What do you think, Sasha? You were the one who told us that Mary-Anne had a lot of connections to some of the other girls.

Sasha: I think what matters now is...we keep this tribe of ours as strong as possible. If you can’t trust Westin, you’ve gotta let him go and I say that’s that. And if you say the vote is Mary-Anne...so be it. There will be times when I understand why someone is the vote and I’ll be willing to let it happen.

The camera cuts to a sped-up transitional shot of clouds passing by in the sky, and cuts once more to the next scene, as ominous music plays in the background.

Sven is taking a walk with Sasha, talking to her.

Sven: So I wanted to float an idea to you before tribal.

Sasha: Lay it on me.

Sven: I want to vote Abraham out.

Sasha blinks, looking incredulous.

Sasha: ...Okay.

Sven: I think that...right now, he’s the biggest alpha male on the tribe. I know that you, Westin and Mary-Anne are all on the bottom right now and you need to gain numbers against Abraham. This is that chance. I’m taking the first strike against him.

Sasha: And...you’ve talked with both of them about this?

Sven: Oh, yeah. And if you’re on board, we have enough votes to pull out a close blindside that he won’t see coming. Abraham is going to be the biggest threat later on, and he’s gotta go as early as possible. Mary-Anne has to vote him or she’s going home, so there’s no worry about her vote.

"meisie"

- [stares into camera like on an episode of The Office] Sven...is just...I’m speechless, honestly. The way Sven behaves, it’s like he thinks he’s the smartest person on the island. Well, Sven, you’re not, and I hate to break it to you, but this is a social game and you kinda STINK at it. His giant ego requires him to show off how ‘smart’ he thinks he is as much as he can. He thinks he’s charming, that he’s in control, like he has me and Mary-Anne sitting in his pocket, and it’s honestly pathetic. I have had enough of this man, if I have to live with him a day longer I might just get up and quit because he is insufferable.

Sven: We’ll have no problem taking on the other tribe in challenges, regardless. Mary-Anne may be weak, but even without Abraham, it’ll still be a piece of cake. Their tribe is weaker than us. I see this as an opportunity for us four to make a big move.

Sasha: [meeting Sven’s eyes] Well, how about that?

"meisie"

- I’m putting this plan in motion one step at a time. Abraham, it was nice aligning with you while it lasted, but making yourself this big a target...only person to blame here for what’s coming is yourself.

The camera cuts away, and the next scene is off in the woods, as Sasha catches up to Abraham and Brandy by the well.

Sasha: Sven just came up to me.

Abraham: Oh yeah? What’s he say?

Sasha: He’s saying he wants to take you out.

Brandy turns around sharply.

Abraham: Shut up.

Sasha: No, I’m dead serious.

Abraham: This cannot be happening right now.

Sasha: I’m being totally honest, no joke, that’s what he just said to me.

"meisie"

- [sighing] I don’t know what’s going on anymore. I thought the alliance was solid, that we had settled on a good plan, for Mary-Anne or Westin to go home tonight. And now...it’s out the window, yet again.

Brandy: What do we do?

Abraham folds his arms, looking conflicted.

Sasha: Are you still going ahead with the plan on Mary-Anne?

Abraham: [sighing] I don’t know anymore.

"meisie"

- Sven wants to go after Abraham - that’s not happening. He has no idea I’m aligned with Abraham, and for now, I have to look out for my allies. There is no way I’m working with the likes of Sven in this game. He’s using me and Mary-Anne, it’s clear.

Sasha: There’s still time to change this vote.

Abraham: [licking lips] We need to go talk to Kim and Westin and see where their heads are at.

Brandy: Okay.

"meisie"

- One thing I really detest in this game is disloyalty. And it seems that our alliance of five is destined to never pan out. Once again, people are taking shots at Abraham and I. Are we that intimidating? Tribal was looking to be a simple vote but once again the game has shaken up, and things have changed on a dime. And it’s because Sven is a [censored] moron.

Sasha is walking up to Mary-Anne, and Westin is listening close by.

Mary-Anne: Hey.

Sasha: Are you thinking of working with Sven?

Mary-Anne: He wants to vote out Abraham. Did he tell you?

Sasha: That’s not happening.

Mary-Anne: No?

Sasha: No way. There are many things I can give way to but this is not one of them.

Westin: Is the plan done?

The camera cuts to Sven, walking by the shoreline, oblivious to his name being thrown out.

Sasha: I’m not working with Sven.

Mary-Anne: Are you serious?

Sasha: Yes, Mary-Anne! He’s using you. Wake up and see it!

Mary-Anne looks frustrated.

Mary-Anne: If we work with Sven, we can form a new majority alliance with him and Westin.

Sasha: Yes, Mary-Anne, I see that. I can count. But I am not working with a man like that, he's repulsive.

Mary-Anne: Can't you put personal feelings aside?

Sasha: This is gameplay! I don't trust Sven at all. I think we can vote him out tonight.

Mary-Anne: Tonight? Why would you want to vote him out? He's the one helping me-

Sasha: He's using you! And you've seen the kind of person he is. Is he someone you really want to work with in this game?

"meisie"

- Mary-Anne thinks that working with Sven is her only hope left but I don't want to work with Sven. I want to work with Abraham and Brandy for now. Sven thinks he's pulling the strings but I'm taking charge of the vote tonight and pushing for my target in him to go home. I can make this happen. I know I can.

Sasha: You trust me, right?

Mary-Anne: [sighing] I mean, you're all I've got left.

"meisie"

- I think the lesson to be learned here is to not mess with Sasha, that girl is a beast. And she's also ridiculously stubborn. She will not let up on the fact that she wants Sven to go home. And it just screws up all my plans to form a new majority with Sven and blindside Abraham. My guardian angel just became the next likely target.

Mary-Anne: Westin?

Sasha: What do you think, DC Comics?

Westin laughs and shrugs, sputtering.

Westin: This game is live, that's all I can say. I'm down for whatever happens.

"meisie"

- Every tribal I’ve been to has dissolved into a hot mess. Sven wants to make a big move and blindside Abraham, because he wants to be the one in control. And now, Sasha’s trying to flip the vote on Sven instead. I have to admit...the idea of blindsiding Abraham was a pretty tantalizing option. But this is perfect for me. Neither my nor Mary-Anne’s name is being floated out as an option. This could be just the chaos I need to slip by another vote because without a solid alliance I know the guys could do whatever they want with me.

Abraham comes over to lie beside Westin in the shelter. Westin: [whisper] Sven’s trying to take you out. Abraham’s eyes widen. Abraham: [whisper] Tonight? Westin nods.

Abraham: So I’ve heard.

"meisie"

- I have no idea even what to do anymore. I wanted to see the game live, and I guess this is it. But I know that tonight I’ll be playing a sizeable part in what takes place. As long as I’m not the one going home, I’m golden. I know I’m on the bottom already, this is just me treading water to stay alive.

Westin: [whisper] He thinks he has me and the girls, but I know for a fact Sasha isn’t flipping.

Brandy is climbing into the shelter to talk with Abraham and Westin.

Brandy: So what is the final plan for tonight?

Westin: Sven is voting for Abraham-

Abraham: But as far as he knows, he thinks that we’re all voting Mary-Anne. He has no idea what we know.

Brandy: This is another Logan situation all over again.

"meisie"

- I am worried that if I get rid of Sven tonight, that’s a second member of my original alliance I’m cutting! That’ll mean every person I’ve cast a vote for would have been someone I once said was going to be my Final 5! How did things get to this? Our alliance of guys is full of big egos so I guess it shouldn’t surprise me we’re all turning on each other to make big plays and take out big threats this early.

Westin: I’m not going to scramble, so it’s up to you guys to decide.

Brandy: I hate to say it, but do you want to give Sven a taste of his own medicine?

Abraham bites his lip.

Brandy: I mean, the guy’s coming after you.

Westin: [laughing] How quickly did everything just go to [censored]?

Brandy: We can get Kim on board to do it.

Abraham is running a hand through his thick beard, thinking hard.

Sasha: We can send him home, Drew Christy-style.

"meisie"

- [sighing] So...once again this simple vote just got a whole lot more complex. Survivor’s a complicated game. And...it’s taken a big turn once again. Whatever happens tonight...it’ll be a big decision nonetheless.

Mary-Anne is hurrying to speak with Sasha as the sun is starting to set.

Mary-Anne: Are you sure I’m good?

Sasha: Yes. Just trust me tonight.

"meisie"

- I no longer have any clue what is going to happen. It feels like all the work I’ve put in is either going to blow up in my face or...maybe I’ll stay? I don’t know. I’m not even really sure if the name I’ll be putting down will be the right one. My heart is pounding in my chest and, it’s like, my nerves are just shot through the roof. I just want to get tonight over and done with [laughing] and see where it takes me. One way or another, tonight will be a test for me, if I get past this. And it is not going to be an easy one.

The sun dips below sea level, and the sky changes from day to night as the tribe arrives at Tribal Council. They put their torches in their usual spots and take their seats. Mary-Anne is pale, but holding up well, drawing her scarf over her neck. Sven slumps down in his seat, spreading his legs wide, looking excited. Brandy shakes his head, looking both amused and unhappy to be back here.

Jeff: So...welcome to your first Tribal Council as a new tribe.

Brandy: Boo.

A few people chuckle weakly.

Jeff: Kim, tell me. Why do you think you guys lost today’s challenge?

Kim: I think it was...just a lack of proper coordination, communication...we didn’t work together very well at the puzzle, and I think that’s the main reason we lost immunity today.

Jeff: But otherwise you would have won?

Sven: There's no doubt we would have won that challenge if it hadn't been for the puzzle at the end, Jeff.

Kim: I think we’ll learn our lesson and we’ll bounce back in our next challenge, more united than ever.

Jeff: Mary-Anne, starting out a new tribe always presents its fair share of challenges. Was it difficult to adjust with all these newcomers?

Mary-Anne: Well, I mean, yeah.

The guys are trading looks.

Mary-Anne: Switching tribes means that you have to make and form brand new connections with different people all over again. It's really the luck of the draw. And what's more you have these five guys who all know each other before and have had the chance to form relationships and connections, so it's a definite disadvantage.

Jeff: I have to ask...with five guys here all from the same tribe, that’s a pretty clear majority. And we have two girls, conveniently in the minority on this tribe. Is that going to play a part in tonight’s vote?

Mary-Anne: I mean, I hope not. There's definitely a lot of talk about me being on the bottom.

Jeff: Because you're a girl?

Mary-Anne: Because these five guys all started out on the same tribe and there's a clear alliance among some of them and unless there are some cracks for me and Sasha to exploit, we’re easy votes. But hey, this is Survivor. It's not uncommon for someone on the bottom of the tribe to miraculously rise to the top.

Jeff: It’s also not uncommon to be screwed over...by a swap.

Mary-Anne: [nodding] Yeah...unfortunately yeah.

Jeff: Brandy, what do you think of the two girls?

Brandy: [scratching beard] Well, first of all, Jeff, you know I like to get to know people first before counting them as easy votes in the game. This game transcends the typical gameplay, it's also very much about being social. Sasha, for starters, she’s great.

A few other guys murmur their assent.

Brandy: She’s a very strong independent woman, and I think we all respect her for that. She told us she'd been through a lot of tough crap in her life.

Sasha: [laughing] It’s true.

Jeff: And what about Mary-Anne?

Brandy: She’s cool too.

Mary-Anne: [laughing] Okay.

Brandy: What I mean to say is, she’s a very social player. She has, or had, a lot of connections back with the girls.

Mary-Anne: I mean, I was really only tight with a couple...girls. I was by no means tight with the tribe as a whole. I'm not as...dangerously connected as that.

Brandy is recoiling in confusion at this.

Brandy: Sasha told us you were part of a tight foursome.

Mary-Anne: Well I mean what do you expect? I was just forming new friends, you said after all that this was a social game.

Brandy: Right, and your social connections can pose a threat in the future.

Mary-Anne shrugs at this statement, deep in thought.

Mary-Anne: Ah, you know.

Brandy snorts, looking amused.

Brandy: That's the end of that, I guess.

Jeff: So do you feel on the bottom of this tribe, Mary-Anne?

Mary-Anne: [taking a deep breath] Yeah, Jeff, yeah, that’s definitely the vibe I’m getting right now. I think that they all...prefer Sasha over me because she’s stronger. And that may leave me on the bottom of the totem pole on this new tribe, but...hey, I never give up, you know.

Jeff: There's also something I wanted to point out. Sasha, you said that only “some” of the guys are in an alliance, meaning not all of them. Therefore, implying that there are indeed some of them on the outs.

Sasha: [nodding] That is true.

Jeff: Why not work with them? I assume people know who you're referring to.

Westin fidgets in his seat, grinning cheekily.

Sasha: I don't want to work with people just to get further in the game. These connections and relationships have to be genuine.

Brandy nods.

Sash: I'm all up for explosive cutthroat gameplay but for now I think I want this tribe to be strong too and for me to stay alive and afloat for as long as I can. And whoever goes home tonight, I think, will help both me and the tribe in the days to come.

Sven narrows his eyes. Abraham swallows, his Adam’s apple bobbing. Mary-Anne tucks a strand of her hair behind her ear, anxiety reflected in her big doe eyes.

Jeff: Alright, it is time to see what you have decided is the best course of action for this stage of the game. It is time to vote. Westin, you’re up.

Westin gets up to go and vote as the music kicks in.

Mary-Anne is fidgeting, a bundle of nerves, criss-crossing and unravelling her stiff fingers over and over again. Abraham is tapping his feet, staring seriously into the night.

The camera cuts to Brandy going up to vote, then Sven.

"meisie"

- My man, you think you’re top dog, that you’re in charge, but you’re going to be proven oh so wrong in just a few minutes and it will be a delicious downfall. I’m afraid it’s just the name of the game - it’s all about betrayal.

He folds his vote and the scene fades away.

Kim is heading up to vote, as he shakes his head, sighs, and uncaps the pen.

Mary-Anne soon takes his place.

Mary-Anne holds her vote up to the camera but it is not shown. Instead, we are shown a top-down camera view.

"meisie"

- [big sigh] Please, please, please, please, pleaseee...work.

She deposits her vote and returns to her seat. Sasha heads up, writing down a name...and then Abraham votes…

At last, Abraham returns, his face a solemn mask.

Jeff: I'll go tally the votes.

He leaves. Abraham and Brandy turn to each other and share a knowing look. Sasha is staring gravely at the floor, her chin resting on her hands.

Mary-Anne is sitting up straight, wrapping a scarf around her, casting a worried glance at the fire pit. Sven is drumming his fingers on his knees, glancing at the others out of the corner of his eye.

Jeff returns.

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

Sven turns to look around obviously. Sasha looks up, a glint in her eyes. Abraham shrugs, nonchalant.

Jeff: Alright. Once the votes are read, the decision is final. Person voted out will be asked to leave the tribal council area immediately. I'll read the votes.

Sasha makes eye contact with Abraham and nods. Sven narrows his eyes. Mary-Anne shudders, rubbing her naked arms.

Jeff: First vote...Abraham. (1-0)

Abraham nods, gritting his teeth.

Jeff: Sven. (1-1)

Sven turns his eyes skyward, snorting. Sasha raises an eyebrow.

Jeff: Sven. Two votes Sven, one vote Abraham. (2-1)

Sven nods, looking a little perplexed. Westin looks up at the votes, a small wry smile playing on his lips.

Jeff reaches for the next vote. . . . . . . . . . Jeff: Sven. That's three votes Sven, one vote Abraham. (3-1)

Sven looks aghast as he realizes what has happened. Brandy exhales quietly, solemn.

Jeff: Fourth person voted out of Survivor: Seychelles...Sven. That's four, that's enough, you need to bring me your torch.

Sven is already shaking his head, displeased, laughing a little as he gets to his feet.

Sven: Wow.

Sasha breaks out into a wide grin as he passes her, giving his back a small wave goodbye. Mary-Anne is allowing herself a tiny little smile of relief, as she looks down at her feet with guilty pleasure.

Abraham is resting his chin on his hand, looking and winking at Brandy, who is grinning guiltily.

Sven drops his torch into its slot, putting his hands on his hips with a loud dissatisfied exhale.

Jeff: Sven, your tribe has spoken. [snuffs torch] Time for you to go.

Sven harrumphs and leaves without looking back, his head held high. Westin cranes his neck to see him leave, positively glowing with exhilaration.

Mary-Anne chuckles to herself.

Jeff: That was a unanimous vote, but still a blindside nonetheless. With two guys in the supposed majority getting votes, it looks like the Battle of The Sexes is no more, and you are now moving forward as one tribe. How will that change your dynamics around camp? I’m intrigued. Grab your stuff, and head back to camp. Goodnight.

Challenges
Reward Challenge: Slip, Slide and Score [Blood vs Water] In one-on-one rounds, castaways must race down a ramp slide to retrieve a ring which they will then toss onto a wooden post before their opponent to score a point. The first tribe to score four points was the winner. Seuntjie had the Medallion for this challenge, and as a result, had to land one extra ring than Meisie to win the reward. Reward: Survivor kitchen set with pots, spices, sugar, salt etc. Winner: Seuntjie

Immunity Challenge: Draggin’ The Dragon [Cambodia] The tribes will race through an obstacle course with their carts. They will climb various ladders, retrieving keys. Those keys unlock a chest. They put the chest on their cart and make their way through the obstacle course to a wall. When they get to the wall, they disassemble the cart. They pass the cart and the chest and everything through the wall. They reassemble it all, make it to the end, where two players will assemble the puzzle. The first tribe to solve the puzzle would win immunity. As Meisie has Medallion, they were given three decoy puzzle pieces that did not fit anywhere in the puzzle, to make it harder. Winner: Seuntjie

Voting Confessionals
"meisie"

- You are the most self-unaware, hypocritical, chauvinist, arrogant, condescending and pathetic guy I have ever met. For the love of all that is good in this world, PUH-LEASE be the one that goes home tonight.

"meisie"

- Yet again, I’m writing an ally’s name down.

"meisie"

- Idiot.

Final Words
"meisie"

- No question about it, that was a total blindside. I was sure that I would be the one carrying out the blindside, not the one on the receiving end of one. And unanimously too? This is downright humiliating. I probably tried to make too big a move too early...so it was a dumb move on my part. Worse still, I was blindsided by a couple of girls! That's what I really won't be able to live down.

Next Time on Survivor...

 * Mary-Anne fears for her life in the game…

"meisie"

- I could very well still be on the bottom of this tribe. It...just sucks. Those boys have all the power they could want in this game, and that includes me.


 * Westin alienates the rest of the tribe…

Westin is walking alone down the beach, as the rest of his tribe gossips about him.

Sasha: He is such a snake. He holds no loyalty to anybody, he just likes chaos.

Abraham: We have wanted to get rid of him for a while, next to Graham.

Sasha: I just can’t trust someone like that. He was being dodgy the whole morning.


 * And a unique immunity challenge all about tough choices puts the tribes through difficult tests…

Jeff: And it is here that you are presented with a choice.

Mallorie squints at Jeff. Greta looks taken aback.

Jeff: It could mean the difference between winning this challenge or losing.
