My Agenda is in Plain Sight/Part 2

Pre-Tribal
(Following their defeat, the Rinjani Tribe return to camp.)

Winona: Well, that was lovely...

"rinjani"

- So I cost us the challenge today, pretty much, but I'm going nowhere and I'm very confident. You know why? Because this tribe sucks! Sure, we have strong people, but we have all the weak people. I don't know what production was thinking, but it also works brilliantly because that means we'll continue to suck no matter what we do. As long as Anastacia and Simon are on that tribe, we're absolutely, which means challenge performances should mean diddly squat. And you know what that means? Adrian gets to go home! There should be no problem with this. I mean, he's obviously got connections everywhere, he's way more sociable and he's really, really, smart. You need a dictionary to understand him, for crying out loud! Anyway, all of my Bitches agree he should go and it really won't be hard convincing the rest of the tribe to follow suit. Adrian's about to enjoy his last day on the island! (cackles)

Will: Well, we all know what comes next, so let's just go ahead and decide who's going home.

(Everyone splits off into groups, while Skanda rolls her eyes.)

Skanda: (under her breath, while walking with Raphael) Yes, Master Will, whatever you say...

(Raphael laughs as the two walk off. There is then a transitioning nature shot as the Lombok Bitch Brigade is assembled in the forest.)

Winona: Right, in my mind there's no doubt who should go, but I don't want to be that bitch, so let's just go around. Eddiot, who do you want out?

Eddiot: Uhhh, I think Glasses Dude because I just can't understand him. And, like, how am I supposed to align with someone if I can't understand them?

Winona: Good, that's Adrian. Kimberly, Adrian?

Kimberly: Yep.

Winona: Samantha, Adrian?

Samantha: Absolutely.

Winona: Adrian. Done. Let's get everyone else on board. Anyone who'd keep him is stupid.

Samantha: We're all returnees so nobody should be stupid by this point, or I'd be very concerned. (laughs)

Eddiot: Wooo! Adrian's gonna go, then!

Kimberly: Yep! Let's get talking to people.

(The four of them head away, the camera focusing on Eddiot.)

"rinjani"

- Okay, camera people, we're getting rid of Adrian tonight. All the ladies wanted him out anyway, and I wanted him out 'cause I just can't understand him. (lauhgs) I mean, have you spoken to the dude? Like, duh, obviously you have because you're the camera people, so you should know he uses a whole bunch of smart people words that I've never heard of! I don't have a problem with him, like, at all. I think he'd be cool if I understood him but that's never gonna happen, so I guess he can just go. Now we just have to get the other people to vote him, too. I totally can get Jason to do it and I guess Samantha and the ladies are gonna take care of everyone else, so, yeah! Adrian's going home!

(Following this, the camera transitions to Will, Hazel, Adrian and Jason as they are discussing the vote.)

Will: Right, how do we want to do this?

Jason: I personally think it should come down to Winona or Skanda. They were the two weakest in the challenges, so it's only fair.

Will: I like that. I'd vote for Skanda. I can tell she's already going to get under my skin. Add that to being weak in challenges, then I think she's an easy choice.

Hazel: I'd be down for that, I think it's not something that would cause any waves.

Adrian: If I might interject with a suggestion of my own, I believe it would be wiser for us to direct our allocated votes to Winona. Of course, if your preference is Skanda, then notify me, I just believe that some individuals will be playing with a team mindset, thus desiring the elimination of a weak competition performer, such as Skanda. However, other individuals will desire for the elimination of a strategic force. I believe the least problematic solution to counterbalance both styles of competitive play would be to compromise. Winona is an extremely weak competition performer and an aggressive strategic competitor who will cut the proverbial throats of foes and allies alike at a moment's notice. Furthermore, Winona must have amassed several strong pre-game relationships, notably with Kimberly, whilst Skanda has considerably less pre-game connections. If our desire is a harmonious, unified tribe with the hopes of emerging victorious in future competitions and lessening the threat of strategic plays, this would be, in my opinion, the most desirable.

Hazel: Damn.

Jason: You know, that actually makes a lot of sense. I'd like to do that.

Hazel: Yeah... that's a really smart compromise, I'm surprised none of us thought about that, I'd be happy to do that.

Will: (frowns) You thought a lot about this, didn't you?

Adrian: Affirmative.

Will: Okay. Winona, then.

Adrian: Are you certain? As I previously stated, if you preferred Skanda-

Will: If I wasn't certain, would I be saying it?

Adrian: Ah, negative, you would not. Then, is the consensus that we shall assign our allocated votes to Winona?

Will: Yes.

Adrian: Noted. We must endeavour to assemble a majority of votes towards her.

Jason: Since that's all sorted, I might go lie down for a moment. That challenge took a bit out of me.

(Adrian and Jason leave, walking in opposite directions. The camera focuses on Adrian, who looks slightly nervous.)

"rinjani"

- Although I admit I am perturbed by the thought that, somewhere within this tribe, there is a strategic partnership assembling with the desire to eliminate me, I am relatively calm at present. Accounting for the two methods of competing which I anticipate to arise- the team-playing individual and the individual threat conquering competitor. Wishing to accommodate for both styles, I formulated what I felt the most satisfactory compromise and suggested the elimination of Winona. My strategic partnership agreed and thus, that is to whom my vote will be assigned. At present I have tasked myself with assembling a majority of individuals and I believe I will be able to escape elimination.

(The camera then cuts back to Will, who is frowning.)

Will: That was way too smart and persuasive.

Hazel: Agreed, when he finished talking I saw literally no reason to boot Skanda.

Will: He shouldn't be allowed to do that. He's smart, sociable, strategic, everything. He's the biggest threat.

Hazel: I know... he's thinking very deeply for the third day.

Will: He literally came up with the perfect name. We have to get rid of him while we have the chance, the protection agreement. If Adrian gets far in this game he's going to torch everyone.

Hazel: Yeah, I'm down for that if you think we've got a way out past this Tribal Council.

Will: Adrian gave it to us. Winona's weak in challenges, aggressive and has pre-games. She can go next. Adrian goes tonight.

Hazel: Then you've got my vote.

"rinjani"

- There's no way I'm letting Adrian past the first vote. Like I said before, the protection agreement only stands if I say it does, and I'm saying it doesn't. That was the smartest play anyone could have made. Hazel even said she got totally convinced and Hazel won this game. That just speaks volumes of how big a threat Adrian is. Coupling how strong strategically he is with how sociable he's become, he's the biggest threat. Sure, you could argue Adrian is going to be a massive shield for the future, but I want him out. We have enough numbers and reason to get Winona out next anyway, so it doesn't matter. Adrian's voting Winona, he can vote her, Skanda, or the that comes out his ass. It won't change anything. He's the first one out.

('Following Will's confessional, Eddiot, Samantha, Winona and Kimberly walk up to Will and Hazel.)

Eddiot: Sup, man?

Will: Just thinking about the vote. I know who I want gone.

Samantha: So do I: Adrian. He's incredibly sociable, he's smart, you know from his previous season that he's strategic, he's so dangerous and is going to take all the power if we don't get him out now.

Will: Exactly. That's why we're voting for him.

Samantha: And that's why we're voting for him.

Hazel: You should know, Winona, he threw your name out to us.

Winona: Oh, off, now I want him gone even more.

Hazel: He did it in such a way that made it really hard to disagree, he thought everything out and it was the smartest pitch I've ever heard. That's why we have to turn on him, because if he's thinking that deeply and logically this early, he's going to get all of us out.

Winona: Oh, absolutely. He's gone. He was gone yesterday.

Kimberly: Well, that makes things easy! (laughs)

Samantha: That's six right there, but honestly, speaking from experience, we can't have a divided this tribe early. Everyone needs to be on board.

Will: Don't worry, I'll go talk to Will and Skanda, then we can tell Jason. 9-1 for Adrian and it's done just like that.

Samantha: Sounds perfect.

(Samantha and her alliance walk away, satisfied.)

Hazel: Well, that took care of them!

Will: Adrian's probably off talking to Raphael and Skanda right now. We'll have to wait until after, but one conversation and they'll be on our side.

Hazel: Yep, like they said, there's six regardless. No one would willingly vote in the minority.

(The camera then transitions to Adrian, who is approaching Skanda and Rapahel.)

Adrian: Skanda, Raphael, may we converse?

Raphael: (giggles) You have the cutest way of speaking.

Adrian: (chuckles) Much appreciative. I wish to discuss the allocation of your votes for the elimination tonight.

Skanda: Yeah, we haven't heard anything yet but my name's probably being thrown out, I assume?

Adrian: Negative. Would it satisfy you two to eliminate Winona? I have analysed the competition performances and the likely styles of play that will come into an effect, as every individual has previously partaken in this game. Counterbalancing those who wish to eliminated for challenges, and those who wish to eliminate for strategy, Winona is a compromise. Her performance was dismal at the immunity competition, she has a reputation as an aggressive and cutthroat strategist, and she has significant interpersonal bonds stemming back to the Ivory Coast installment.

Raphael: Yeah, she screwed us bad in the challenge today. I wouldn't mind her going. We need to win, and we know what happened to me the last time I kept someone who sucked at challenges.

Skanda: Yeah, we even had to cut Brody loose because he was costing us so bad. I'm down for Winona, anyone who isn't me, but I don't like this pre-game stuff. How do I know you're not gonna just jump up and down and go "Skanda and Johannes, Skanda and Johannes"?

Adrian: (shaking his head) Negative. Your romantic relationship with Johannes is of little concern to me, as I view strong interpersonal bonds to be just as dangerous, if not more. Furthermore, if you were to commit to the elimination of Winona, I see no reason to deny the formation of a strategic partnership. Skanda, I hypothesise that this next statement will evoke disdain, but currently I have spoken to William and Hazel, who have agreed. Thus, our strategic partnership would consist of the five of us, in addition to Jason.

Skanda: You know Will and I are never going to get along, but hey, if he's not writing my name down, I won't write his. A group of six is good no matter who it's with, and you realise I aligned with Desiree at the merge of Upolu right?

Adrian: (chuckles) That momentarily vacated my memory, however, that is excellent news. I look forward to our strategic partnership commencing.

Raphael: Same, dude! This is gonna be great!

(Adrian walks away. Raphael turns to Skanda.)

Raphael: Easy six, huh?

Skanda: Yeah, but aligning with Will makes me want to (she motions slitting her throat, which causes Raphael to laugh)

Raphael: But like you said, a group of six is good regardless. So I'm down.

Skanda: Oh yeah, even if it's with Will, it's good. (She notices he and Hazel coming over) Speak of the literal devil.

Will: Did Adrian just tell you that the vote was Winona?

Skanda: Yeah, we're voting Winona, don't worry.

Will: Don't. There's already six on Adrian, including us. Everyone's going to vote for him.

Skanda: Oh really? What happened to the six alliance that Adrian said was going on?

Will: It's a five, he's not in it. Once he's gone, we can band together with the four of us and Jason to take out Winona. He's just way too smart and sociable and needs to go now.

Raphael: Yeah, did he give you guys a run down on why Winona should go, too? That was something.

Hazel: I think he gave us a longer version, which is why we got wary of him.

Skanda: Hey, if there's six on Adrian I'm going to vote for him and make it seven.

Raphael: Make it eight! Who's missing?

Will: Jason, but that's because we haven't told him yet. We're about to.

Raphael: Alright, that's cool. Adrian it is!

Will: Good. It'll be unanimous for our first vote. A perfect cover.

(Will and Hazel walk away.)

Raphael: Looks like I spoke to soon!

Skanda: Yep, Grand Master Will has spoken.

Raphael: Hey, something to get us past the first two votes, right?

Skanda: Exactly. But that's it.

(The two of them walk away. The camera focuses on Skanda, who laughs and rolls her eyes.)

"rinjani"

- I can't believe this tribe sometimes, honestly. (laughs) no sooner had we been put in a six person alliance with Adrian, that Will stomps along and says "that's not happening, everyone's voting Adrian out." That's it, no discussion, Will said it, and that makes it so. (sighs) You know, if everyone's voting Adrian, that's cool. It's not me, so I don't care. This plan actually keeps me safe for two votes, so it's great. The only downside is working with Will, but if I put up with Desiree for three votes in Upolu, I can put up with Will for two here. It's frustrating, but it is what it is and I can't really afford the luxury of choosing my own alliance anyway, since I screwed up at the challenge. I'm just lucky someone wants to work with me.

(The camera then transitions back to camp, where Jason is lying in the shelter.)

Will: Jason, come out for a minute.

Jason: Okay.

(Jason gets out of the shelter. Hazel is there, along with all members of the Lombok Bitch Brigade.)

Jason: What's going on?

Will: The plan changed. Everyone's voting Adrian.

Jason: But what about-?

Will: Not happening.

Jason: Why?

Will: Because Adrian is way too big a threat. In his last season he was incredibly smart. Now he's smart and sociable, and somehow he's gotten even sharper strategically. That pitch was so perfect, it swayed us immediately and nobody wants to play with someone like that.

Jason: So Adrian's just being voted out for strategising and talking with people? I don't think that's fair.

(Winona disguises an eyeroll as brushing hair out of her face, as Will continues.)

Will: The game isn't fair and life isn't fair. Sometimes that's just how it is. Adrian's way too big a threat to go past this vote.

Jason: Well, I guess if everybody's voting that way...

Samantha: Trust me, this is going to be the best for all of us.

Jason: Fair enough. If everyone wants that.

Winona: Everyone does. And he threw my name out, so there's no way I'm keeping him.

(The group disperses. Winona looks back at Jason, and whispers to Kimberly.)

Winona: I'm getting Shanniah Torres vibes everywhere.

Kimberly: You don't think Jason would do anything stupid, do you?

Winona: God I hope not, but tell me that didn't sound exactly like Shanniah.

(The camera then transitions to Jason, who looks disappointed. He then heads out of camp, as the camera cuts to his confessional.)

"rinjani"

- So, the vote has been changed to Adrian and I'm very disappointed. Apparently his pitch to boot Winona, which made perfect sense, actually means he's threatening and needs to be taken out. It's mostly to do with his reputation, too, which just isn't fair at all. When Will said that, I had flashbacks to Kory and I being unfairly targeted and eliminated without having the chance to play, based on assumptions made about us. No one deserves that same fate. I'm going to do what I can, but I'm not going to lie to my closest ally, or let him believe that his so-called allies are the ones leading the charge against him. He deserves to know the truth.

(Following Jason's confessional, the camera picks up to where he meets Adrian on the beach.)

Adrian: Ah, Jason! Greetings!

Jason: Adrian, I need to tell you something. Everybody's voting for you tonight.

Adrian: (face falls) ...Negative...

Jason: I'm afraid they are. I had no say in it.

Adrian: But what is the motive?

Jason: They said it was because your pitch to get rid of Winona made you sound threatening, since it was so deeply analysed and logical, and they think you'll be dangerous down the road. It's mostly based on your reputation in Bermuda, which I think is absolutely ridiculous and unfair. They say you've gotten even smarter and more sociable. What's worse is someone told Winona you were targeting her, so she's pretty adamantly leading the charge.

Adrian: (near tears) But... I am perplexed. Is the aim of this competition not to socialise? (sighs) Furthermore, if William and Hazel were not satisfied with my suggestion to eliminate Winona, they could have informed me! I asked them to inform me!

Jason: I know you did. I'm disgusted at all of this. How dare Will and Hazel do this to you.

Adrian: And furthermore, you are essentially informing me that I am devoid of my ability to campaign for my survival, as supposedly, that would enlarge my threat status. In sum, the only alternative appears to be finding and utilising a Hidden Immunity Idol, which will just enlarge it further.

Jason: No, you're not going anywhere tonight, because this betrayal and targeting of you based on reputation and just wanting to talk to people is disgusting and I'm not standing for it. I'll campaign for you. I'll get the votes away from you.

Adrian: And who is going to be the alternate target? I shall assign my vote to this person.

Jason: Eddiot. I know he and I have been getting along, but he's only here for the adventure. He won't mind going first, he's had three days of memories to give back to his friends. And strategically, his tendency to float and stay loyal to one alliance, plus a pre-game with Samantha, should mean these people would find him a bigger threat than you.

Adrian: (sigh) Affirmative, I shall vote for Eddiot.

Jason: And I'm not writing your name down, no matter what happens.

Adrian: (head down, sighs) Much appreciative.

(Jason walks away. The camera focuses on an extremely upset Adrian, who looks like he's about to cry.)

"rinjani"

- My present disappointment is immeasurable. (sighs) Jason has informed me that everyone, even the individuals from my strategic partnership, have devised a new scheme culminating in my elimination. The motive for this is, supposedly, my suggestion of Winona for elimination alarmed individuals and they concluded that I was an even larger strategic threat than during the Bermuda installment, and my socialising with individuals has made them frightened of my competing abilities at later stages. (shakes head) I should have agreed to Skanda. I cannot even campaign, for if my suggestion of Winona was threatening, competing to stay will increase the likelihood of the tribemates desiring for my elimination. A Hidden Immunity Idol would only increase my survival by one Tribal Council, so is rendered virtually useless. Thus, my fate rests with Jason, who is the only individual maintaining loyalty. His ability to persuade others to eliminate Eddiot over I is going to be pivotal to my survival. I cannot be the first individual vanquished from this competition. Not after the supporters wished so immensely for me to return. My journey cannot end in this manner. I must have a chance to compete, but I am helpless to change my situation.

(The camera then transitions to Jason, who has a determined look on his face.)

"rinjani"

- What's happening to Adrian is absolutely unfair and I will not stand for it. They're even trapping him into not being able to campaign, for crying out loud. Of course I'm going to do everything I can to save him. He deserves to be here, he deserves a chance to play. That means somebody has to go home, though. I couldn't target Winona, because doing that got Adrian in this situation in the first place; I have a feeling we'll need Skanda's vote, so unfortunately my only option is to try and turn the vote onto Eddiot. I like him, don't get me wrong, but he has made it clear that he's not here for the game and just wants to have a fun time. He has openly told me he doesn't care how long it lasts, and he's going to be in a pre-game with Samantha. It would be a much fairer situation to take Eddiot out and that's what I'm going to pitch.

(The camera picks up on Jason as he walks over to Winona, who is standing by the shelter.)

Jason: Winona, can I ask you something?

Winona: Was that the something?

Jason: (chuckles) No, there's another "something" coming. I'd like to talk to you about the vote.

Winona: ...Which is Adrian.

Jason: I'd prefer it if we could go a different route. What would you say to voting out Eddiot?

Winona: I would say "Absolutely not," and then I would say, "Why would I do something as stupid as that when Adrian is the biggest threat of all?"

Jason: No, see, I don't think that's fair at all. Adrian deserves to be here. He hasn't been given a chance to play and he wants this opportunity so badly. I know what it's like to have something you want taken for you in such an unfair manner without getting the chance for it, and I don't want any tribe of mine to go down that same road.

Winona: And what gives you the right to decide who deserves to be here and who doesn't?

Jason: I'm saying that people who want to be here should be, and people who are here for the game should be allowed to stay over people who aren't. I had something horribly unfair happen to me, and the same thing, if I have anything to say about it, isn't going to happen to Adrian. Eddiot has made it clear to me that he's here for a fun time and that only. He has openly said that he doesn't care how long it lasts, so I think Adrian deserves to stay here over him.

Winona: (fake coughing, spluttering and gasping for air, then runs a few paces in the other direction) Oh my God! Get away from me! (she splutters again)

Jason: Do you have a problem?

Winona: That's the most self-righteous thing I've ever heard! Oh my God... you've got the Shanniah Torres disease! I should've seen it earlier... I can't be around you, I can't breathe near you, I can't get that disease! We have to quarantine you before the disease spreads!

Jason: Is it necessary to be so over the top?

Winona: Um... yes? Of course? And there goes that disease again, so keep away from me please. You have all the symptoms: self-righteousness, trying to tell people how to play the game, deciding who deserves to be here and who doesn't, trying to be a guardian or babysitter to an adult who is perfectly capable of playing for themselves... you have the worst case I've seen apart from the original!

Jason: There's no need to be so-

Winona: Don't finish that sentence! You can't say the forbidden V-word or you'll be incurable! I have to get away from you before you give it to me! The vote's still Adrian, nobody's voting Eddiot, you need to try and save yourself from that horrible illness while you still can.

(Winona runs in the other direction, leaving Jason just shaking his head. The camera focuses on Winona, who is rolling her eyes.)

"rinjani"

- We have an emergency! There is a disease running rampant on this island and y'all need to do something before it goes wild! The Shanniah Torres disease has somehow found its way onto our innocent little island. Jasonniah- that's his name now- is infected and displaying all the symptoms: Self-righteousness, taking a moral high ground by deciding who deserves to be here and who doesn't, trying to tell people how they should play the game, babysitting someone who is perfectly capable of playing for themselves, and condescendingly looking down on people who play differently! I'm just lucky he didn't say the V-word, because when that word is uttered, the disease is incurable. I can't believe Jasonniah is seriously trying to do this. I can't believe he'd come to me asking to vote Eddiot when Adrian threw my name out and is the biggest threat! I almost feel sorry for him... what a debilitating sickness to have.

(The camera picks up as Winona heads back to find the members of the Bitch Brigade.)

Winona: Bitches, you are not going to believe what just happened, Jason- who is now called Jasonniah- is his pants over Adrian going home and has the Shanniah Torres disease, so he asked me to vote Eddiot out because he's "only here for fun" and "doesn't deserve to be here." Can you believe this bull ?

Eddiot: Nah, fam, Jason wouldn't vote me! We're bros!

Winnona: Eddiot, honey? You obviously didn't understand what I just said so I'm going to say it very slowly. I... was... asked... to... vote... for... you.

Eddiot: Well, RIP.

"rinjani"

- Well, camera people, Jason wants to get rid of me now. That sucks, I really thought we were bros, but I guess not. I'm gonna do what my alliance tells me still. I'm not that nervous 'cause everyone said they were voting Adrian, but I guess it's no more meme lessons for Jason once this Tribal goes past. Like, if you were bros with someone and you like them- no homo- you're not meant to vote for them. It's just so strange, 'cause apparently he said I don't deserve to be here 'cause I wanna have fun, but he wants to have a fun adventure as well, so... I kinda don't get it? I don't trust him anymore, man. That's some crazy-ass lying right there.

Eddiot: So do we vote for Jason now, or...?

Samantha: Absolutely not. If Adrian's got someone running around campaigning for him, then that's even more of a reason to get rid of him.

Winona: Exactly! I can't believe the idiot Jasonniah thought I'd vote for Eddiot.

Kimberly: We could put a couple of votes on him in case Adrian finds an idol, but that's as far as I'm willing to go. We have to protect Eddiot, but we can't let people change their votes from Adrian.

Samantha: Exactly. We should make sure to nip this in the bud before it becomes a problem.

(The four of them head off, before the camera focuses on Kimberly.)

"rinjani"

- For whatever reason, Jason has decided to run around trying to save Adrian despite the rest of us wanting him out. That makes me not trust him whatsoever, and I think he has actually made things worse, because this gives us more ammo to get Adrian out, but since he's targetting Eddiot- a member of our alliance- we have to be on the safe side. If he's going this far to save one person during the first vote, there's no telling what could happen. He could give Adrian an idol or Adrian could go and find one, so I think the safest option is to put a couple of votes on him. As far as I'm concerned, though, the vote needs to stay on Adrian because he's easily the biggest threat.

(There is then a timeskip, before the camera picks up on Jason again, who has gathered Will, Hazel, Raphael and Skanda.)

Jason: Hi, everyone. I know you said you were all going to vote for Adrian but I just can't sit with that. It's not fair. Adrian's going to be loyal to each and every one of you, yet you're just throwing him out to the wolves without giving him a chance to play.

Raphael: Dude, it's a returnee season, votes like this are always going to happen.

Jason: They don't have to! We can control our own fates. Adrian wants to play so badly, and someone like Eddiot is only here for the fun. He has said himself, he doesn't care how long he stays. Adrian deserves to stay over him.

Skanda: Jason, just relax a bit, okay? You're going so far to save Adrian, when we literally all said we wanted Adrian. What's your hidden agenda here? No one goes this hard on the first vote to turn around a unanimous decision.

Jason: Nothing's hidden. My agenda is in plain sight. I think Adrian deserves to be here over Eddiot, and I don't think it's fair to just eliminate him based on reputation without giving him a chance. Besides, what makes him a bigger threat than Eddiot?

Will: The fact that Eddiot's name is literally "Idiot" with an E and he doesn't realise it.

Jason: So he's not as smart as Eddiot-

Will: Said Jason, in the biggest understatement of all time.

Jason: But the fact is he's threatening. He knows how to take people and stick them to his side, he's got a tendency to float, and since he's here for the adventure he's probably going to do the same. Besides, he has a pre-game with Samantha because he said that's the only person he knows, so why would we keep someone who is going to be deathly loyal to Samantha, who isn't in this alliance, over someone who's in our alliance and going to be loyal to us?

Hazel: That's a point, Eddiot's loyal to Samantha and not us.

Will: The problem is that Adrian's such an enormous thread and us giving him in an inch will mean he takes a mile. I seriously don't understand why you're so desperate to save Adrian, but whatever, we'll think about it.

Jason: Okay. I'm voting Eddiot regardless of what happens, but I'm committed to this alliance. Adrian is too, and so should all of you.

(Jason walks away. The camera focuses on him as his confessional plays.)

"rinjani"

- I've done everything I can to save Adrian. Frankly I'm going to be very upset if he goes because he doesn't deserve this. It makes perfectly logical sense to take Eddiot out of the game and I hope the others will listen. It doesn't make sense to break an alliance minutes after you form it, which is what voting Adrian would do. No matter what they decide, though, I'm putting Eddiot's name down on the parchment. I refuse to vote against my closest ally. Others may abandom him, but I won't.

Raphael: I don't trust him at all.

Skanda: It's a bit suspicious. I mean, who goes that hard to save somebody else at the first vote?

Hazel: Honestly, he does have a bit of a point. Eddiot's not with us, Adrian is, and Adrian's a big threat... could take some heat off of us. Jason's going to get backlash from this and Adrian will get heat for surviving, don't you think?

Will: Yes, but the problem is that Adrian's such a threat that letting him go past a vote is like putting a gun to your head and pulling the trigger. Like I said, we have five of us here. Where's Jason going to go, side with Samantha? He just threw Eddiot's name out.

Hazel: Mmm, but you know it's something to think about if we want to lay low.

"rinjani"

- Jason's creating a stir by throwing Eddiot's name out, and I'm starting to think that would be a good idea. If you think about it, Adrian gets heat, Jason gets even more heat, and that puts two people in front of me. I'm just very aware that Adrian is a big player, is very persuasive and has strong social bonds already. I didn't have anyone running around trying to change a unanimous vote to keep me when I played, and that's scary. But for this point in the game, is it worth keeping that around and getting my target reduced? I want to plant that idea in peoples' heads in case I go that way. Trust me, whoever I want gone, I'm going to find a way to make sure they're gone.

(At that moment, the members of the Bitch Brigade walk up to them.)

Winona: So, have you guys heard that Jason is his pants over the vote and is trying to get the votes onto Eddiot.

Skanda: Yeah, we know what's going on there.

Eddiot: Please don't get rid of me, fam! Adrian's, like, super smart and hard to understand and I'm dumb, so like, he's gonna be harder for you to beat.

Kimberly: Yeah, and to be completely honest, the fact Adrian has already roped Jason in so tightly that he's got him running around changing things up, that makes him even more dangerous.

Raphael: Yeah, totally, that made me nervous.

Samantha: Jason could even go out and find an idol to play on Adrian. There's tight and then there's tight. Pairs that close are incredibly dangerous.

Kimberly: I know because I was in one myself. Betty-May wouldn't even let us vote Kryshelle out even though she knew she'd get the votes if an idol got played correctly. Jason and Adrian are the tightest pair in this game and they need to be split up ASAP.

Raphael: Oh man, I didn't really think about that.

Kimberly: It's why we should get rid of Adrian tonight still. I'm thnking a couple of votes towards Jason woudln't hurt, either, just in case.

Winona: Are you guys still down for that? He needs to go ASAP. They can't pull this off.

Will: Don't worry, it's still going according to plan.

Samantha: Great, then Adrian will be going home! Better to get the big threat out while we all can, huh?

Will: Exactly.

(Samantha, Eddiot, Winona and Kimberly all leave.)

Skanda: So what do you think we should do? It's difficult, because I don't trust Jason, and I know Adrian's a threat, but Eddiot is probably just going to stick to Samantha like glue again.

Raphael: Yeah, Jason's so untrustworthy. I know Eddiot won't be with us, but I don't trust that pair and Jason pretty much just proved he'll never go against Adrian. He's not even gonna vote him no matter what we say. I'm glad he's getting a couple of votes because what if he just runs around doing the same thing for everyone?

Skanda: I know, that's really scary. Their heat could be good for us now but definitely not in the future.

Hazel: Did you see how annoyed they all were that Jason tried to change up the plan?

Skanda: Yeah, they were pissed.

Will: So what do you think we should do?

(The camera fades out as they start talking. Raphael's confessional plays over the top.)

"rinjani"

- So the four of us are kinda swings for this Tribal. I feel like some of us want different things, so I don't know what page we're gonna end up on. I don't trust Jason at all and he and Adrian together make me worried. If we let Adrian past this vote it could bite us all in the ass and I have a lot of experience with keeping people way past their time and it coming back to haunt me. We'd still be up numbers if we booted Adrian and I don't want to be that guy who had the opportunity to take out the biggest threat put on a silver platter, then not take it and wind up screwed. On the other hand, there's the idea that taking out Eddiot would get rid of someone who won't work with us and let us all fly under the radar for a couple of votes, because they'd be pissed at Jason and Adrian. It's gonna be a hard choice for me, 'cause there's massive pros if we get it right but enormous cons if we get it wrong.

The camera next picks up as the ten castaways are getting ready for Tribal. The sun then sets as they are shown heading down the path.
