Here’s my Survivor: Para alternate ending. Hope you enjoy :D

Turning point: Final 12- Instead of Taylor wearing his idol, he plays it for himself in response to Natalie playing hers for Elisabeth. As a result, Lucinda’s and Kelly’s votes for Natalie are the difference, and Natalie is sent home 2-0-0.

11th- Mario (6-5) (Votes against Mario- Devin, Elisabeth, Holly, Lucinda, Kelly, Miranda; Votes against Elisabeth- Carter, Cole, Jeffery, Mario, Taylor)

With Natalie gone, Mario acts cocky and arrogant saying things such as “We did it, boys!” and “Guys to the end!” This makes Kelly and Lucinda realize that they never were a part of their alliance to begin with, and Kelly gets emotional with Lucinda about how they made the wrong move. Lucinda replies that they were never in with the “Mean Girls” either and it seems like they were screwed regardless. Miranda and Elisabeth approach them and offer a spot in their alliance and say that with Natalie gone, things will be different. Lucinda points out that there are only 5 girls and 6 guys, but Miranda points out that it seems like Mario’s behaviour is irritating a number of the guys, so hopefully one would be willing to join them.

Miranda wins immunity, and so the guys confirm with Lucinda and Kelly that Elisabeth is their next target, right before Mario again says “Let’s do it, boys!” which clearly irritates Lucinda and Kelly in addition to Cole and Devin. Cole tells Mario that he’d better smarten up, otherwise the two women will flip, but Mario doesn’t seem to care because they have the numbers anyway. Lucinda and Kelly then ask Devin and Cole if they would be willing to blindside Mario so that they don’t have to live with him anymore and the alliance can move on as a strong 6. Cole tries to comfort them saying that even though Mario is being obnoxious, he’s fiercely loyal and he doesn’t mean anything by what he says. Lucinda then speaks up saying that she and Kelly don’t want to be numbers 7 and 8 before walking off. Lucinda and Kelly then tell the rest of the girls that they want to get rid of Mario and that they just need to convince one of the guys, while Cole tries to convince Devin that although Mario is an ass, he’s a perfect finals goat. However, Devin decides that he feels more comfortable with Lucinda and Kelly and flips with them to the girls’ alliance, blindsiding Mario 6-5.

10th- Taylor (5-5; 6-2) (Votes against Taylor (1st round)- Elisabeth, Holly, Kelly, Lucinda, Miranda; Votes against Miranda- Carter, Cole, Devin, Jeffrey, Taylor; Votes against Taylor (Re-vote)- Cole, Devin, Elisabeth, Holly, Kelly, Lucinda; Votes against Miranda (Re-vote)- Carter, Jeffery)

Devin explains to the guys that he flipped because Mario was a loose cannon and didn’t feel comfortable keeping him around. The guys then realize it’s more important than ever to get Lucinda and Kelly back on their side, while Miranda promises Lucinda a final 3 deal with either Elisabeth or Kelly depending on who’s easier for the two of them to beat, a deal that Lucinda accepts.

Carter wins immunity and the guys try to convince Lucinda and Kelly to flip back and vote against Miranda (the biggest threat of the young girls) stating that they will draw rocks if they don’t. Cole and Devin then promise Lucinda and Kelly final 4. In the end though, not wanting to turn their backs on their alliance with Elisabeth and Miranda, Lucinda and Kelly vote against Taylor with the young girls. Seeing that Lucinda and Kelly won’t change their votes, both Cole and Devin vote Taylor out at the re-vote.

9th- Kelly (4-3-2) (Votes against Kelly- Carter, Cole, Devin, Jeffery; Votes against Lucinda- Elisabeth, Holly, Miranda; Votes against Holly- Kelly, Lucinda)

After Taylor’s elimination, Carter realizes that he’s probably on the outs and tries go get closer with the girls, namely Holly, in order to save his own butt. Jeffery then considers warning Carter that he may be making this strategy a little too obvious, but changes his mind when he realizes that it will mean that Carter is the next one out rather than him. Lucinda and Kelly notice Carter getting close with Holly and tell Cole and Devin that they would like to get rid of Holly next for being a social threat with Lucinda revealing in a confessional that getting rid of Holly next would be best so that her and Kelly can remain in the middle and also keep their alliances with both Elisabeth and Miranda as well as Cole and Devin. Devin is happy with the news because they can finally start moving forward with their original alliance. Cole however sees through Lucinda’s and Kelly’s plans and realizes that they’re playing both sides as there doesn’t seem to be a very good reason to take Holly out considering that Elisabeth and Miranda have always been seen as huge threats.

When Miranda wins her second individual immunity, Lucinda and Kelly tell the girls that the target is Carter for being a social threat. Holly however would rather get rid of Cole due to her closeness with Carter and viewing Cole as a strategic threat. However, Miranda overrides Holly viewing it as important to do what Kelly and Lucinda want so that they remain on their side. After Lucinda and Kelly confirm with the guys that they want Holly out, Cole tells Devin, Jeffery and Carter that he doesn’t believe a word Kelly and Lucinda say because they have gone back on their word for two straight votes. Cole then proposes bringing the girls in to turn the vote against Kelly and Lucinda. Although the girls and Devin are all skeptical of Cole’s proposal, both believing that Lucinda and Kelly are would stick with them, they follow through with Cole’s plan and split the votes with the three girls voting against Lucinda and the four guys voting against Kelly (believing that Kelly would be a bigger jury threat), and Kelly is blindsided 4-3-2.

8th- Carter (6-2) (Votes against Carter- Cole, Devin, Elisabeth, Jeffery, Lucinda, Miranda; Votes against Cole- Carter, Holly)

Given Kelly’s blindside, Lucinda quickly realizes that she’s on the outs of the tribe and starts scrambling to find the idol, which she eventually does. Cole, Devin, and Jeffery then approach Miranda and Elisabeth and state that the best move for everyone would be to get rid of Lucinda as quickly as possible. Although Miranda and Elisabeth agree, they are worried that Lucinda could be in possession of the idol. Cole then suggests that they throw one or two votes at either Holly or Carter and split up a brewing partnership between them. Jeffery then approaches Carter and tells him that his closeness with Holly is putting a target on his back and that he needs to watch himself. Carter however insists that he’s not aligned with Holly and that Jeffery has nothing to worry about. Carter then says in a confessional that he doesn’t know what Jeffery’s problem is and since Carter is gay, there’s no chance of a “showmance” between him and Holly, they’re just good friends. Right before the immunity challenge, Lucinda states that she doesn’t want to play her idol so soon, so she needs to find an adrenaline rush so that she can win the immunity challenge. Lucinda then surprises everyone by doing exactly that.

Miranda and Elisabeth then realize that they can’t vote for Lucinda and so they try to get her on their side to take out one of the guys. Holly immediately suggests that they bring Carter into their alliance to take out Cole for being a strategic threat. Meanwhile, Devin and Cole suggest to Carter and Jeffery that they try to bring Lucinda in to take out Holly as she wanted to do the last round to ensure that the men keep the numbers going forward. Carter however, blatantly rejects the idea and tries to assert that Miranda is their biggest threat, which Cole is not impressed with. When Holly asks Carter to join the girl’s alliance, he immediately agrees. Sensing that Carter is too close with Holly, Cole and Devin recruit the other women and blindside Carter 6-2.

7th- Cole (3-0) (Nullified votes against Lucinda- Cole, Devin, Holly, Jeffery; Votes against Cole- Elisabeth, Lucinda, Miranda)

Shocked by Carter’s blindside, Holly confronts Elisabeth and Miranda and accuses them of replacing her with Lucinda in their alliance, which Elisabeth and Miranda deny. Holly then considers jumping ship to the guys because she no longer trusts the women and tells the men that the other three girls all need to go and asks to join their alliance, which the men agree to. Meanwhile, Lucinda tries to further cement herself into an alliance with Miranda and Elisabeth by saying that Holly is a loose cannon and that she can’t be trusted. Miranda and Elisabeth agree but remind Lucinda that they need Holly right now in order to keep the numbers. Elisabeth and Miranda then agree that although they don’t trust Holly, they also can’t afford to let Lucinda anywhere near the end since she’s a jury threat.

Elisabeth then wins immunity and Holly tells the guys that she wants Lucinda out for being a jury threat. The men agree to play like they’re voting against Lucinda but tell Holly that they want to vote against Miranda fearing that Lucinda has an idol. Holly then says that Lucinda is easily the biggest threat out of the girls and says that she will play to the girls like she is on their side, but flip so that Lucinda is blindsided. The men then realize that they need Holly for numbers and so they agree to her plan, although Cole doesn’t feel 100% comfortable with it. Holly then “apologizes” to the women for going off on them and states that she wants to get rid of Cole for being a strategic threat. Miranda and Elisabeth then try to comfort her saying that they want to go to the final 3 with her. Holly agrees to their proposal, but says in a confessional that Elisabeth and Miranda are “dead to her”. At tribal, Holly voted with the men against Lucinda; but Lucinda was paranoid that Holly wasn’t being truthful and played her idol, which resulted in Cole being blindsided.

6th- Devin (3-3; 3-1) (Votes against Devin (1st round)- Elisabeth, Lucinda, Miranda; Votes against Miranda- Devin, Holly Jeffery; Votes against Devin (Re-vote)- Elisabeth, Lucinda, Holly; Votes against Devin (Re-vote)- Jeffery)

Coming back to camp, Holly is kicking herself that she didn’t listen to the guys and follow through with a vote against Miranda instead of Lucinda. Devin and Jeffery realize that their best chance to get the numbers back would be to reel Lucinda in and split up the tight pair of Elisabeth and Miranda, to which Holly reluctantly agrees. When Jeffery wins immunity the guys and Holly talk to Lucinda about voting against Miranda and Holly tells her that they said the refuse to let Lucinda get anywhere near the end. Lucinda then brushes them off saying “why would you guys be any different?” before walking away. The women then confront Holly saying that they are all voting as a block and threaten that unless she wants to draw rocks, she’ll have to vote with them against Devin since he’s a jury threat. Holly then tries to convince Lucinda to vote with her and the guys against Miranda, but Lucinda just brushes her off. At tribal council, the women follow through on their threat to Holly and, not wanting to draw rocks, she reluctantly switches her vote at the re-vote sending Devin to the jury.

5th- Elisabeth (3-2) (Votes against Elisabeth- Holly, Jeffery, Lucinda; Votes against Jeffery- Elisabeth, Miranda)

Jeffery forgives Holly for voting against Devin, understanding that she didn’t want to draw rocks. However, the two of them realize that they stand alone against the three other three women and try to convince Lucinda that Elisabeth and Miranda need to be split up and that they won’t take her to the end if they have a choice in the matter. When Lucinda asks them who they want out, they say Miranda as she’s a bigger social and strategic threat and Lucinda states that she will take that into consideration. Miranda however, wins immunity and tells Lucinda that the best move for all of them would be to take out Jeffery as he’s the last guy standing. Jeffery however tells Lucinda that Elisabeth is still a major jury threat and that she and Miranda are still very tight, making the two of them extremely dangerous. In the end, Lucinda sides with Holly and Jeffery, blindsiding Elisabeth 3-2.

4th- Lucinda (3-1) (Votes against Lucinda- Holly, Jeffery, Miranda; Vote against Jeffery- Lucinda)

Although Miranda was blindsided by Lucinda jumping ship, she is still optimistic about her place in the game since Lucinda and Jeffery both can be viewed as major threats, yet she still believes that she would have a chance at the final tribal council. Holly and Jeffery confirm with Lucinda that they would go to the final 3 together. Although Lucinda agrees with it to their faces, she’s skeptical that Holly and Jeffery may be just buttering her up. Miranda then wins final immunity, which irritates Jeffery. Jeffery then tells Holly and Miranda that Lucinda has been an underdog since the final 8 and could easily sweep jury votes if she gets to the end. Lucinda however says that being the last man standing; Jeffery could easily win the votes of all the men, who make up the majority of the jury (Carter, Cole, Devin, Mario, Taylor). In the end, Holly and Miranda believe that Lucinda’s underdog story is more threatening and send her home 3-1.

Second Runner Up- Holly (0 jury votes) Holly is blasted at the final tribal council for riding coattails throughout the game. Each of the jurors, even Carter, refuse to vote for her due to a lack of strategy.

Runner Up- Jeffery (3 jury votes)

Although blasted my some of the jury members for riding coattails for a majority of the game, Jeffery is widely praised for being the last guy standing and finding his way to the end. Jeffery however ends up losing as his game is simply viewed as less impressive than Miranda’s. Jeffery receives votes from Carter, Mario, and Taylor. Sole Survivor- Miranda (6 jury votes)

Miranda is widely praised for her impressive social, strategic, and physical game-play and earns the respect of the jury. Cole and Devin both state that Miranda was flagged early on in the merge as a massive threat, yet she always somehow managed to find a way to sneak through and survive the vote. As a result, her well rounded game-play earns her the win. Miranda receives votes from Cole, Devin, Elisabeth, Kelly, Lucinda, and Natalie.
