Strike First or Be Struck Dead/Part 2

IF YOU HAVE NOT READ PART ONE PLEASE DO SO BEFORE CONTINUING 

Shrike Tribe
(After Horatio's elimination, the Shrike tribe have returned to camp. The camera focuses on Raphael and Itsuki.)

Raphael: Just the two of us, huh?

Itsuki: Yeah. But at least we've still got the idol to do some damage with.

Raphael: I'm just kicking myself that I couldn't find that idol. One of them must have found it. I wish I could have saved him...

Itsuki: Hey, you shouldn't blame yourself. At least you got to kiss him, right? (smiles)

Raphael: (laughs) Yeah... yeah, I did.

"shrike"

- (sigh) Ray-Ray is gone. I already miss him.. If only I'd won that running race; if only I'd found the merged idol before they did. (sigh) On the bright side, though, I got to kiss him! It was like heaven... just magical. You know that moment when you're really, really thirsty, and then you finally have a drink of water, and it's the coolest, most refreshing thing you've ever had? It kinda felt like that. Now I have the added motivation of winning for Ray-Ray. I know I'm not the strongest or the smartest out here, but I have the idol up my sleeve, and I'm gonna tear the Black Hole alliance apart with it!

(The camera cuts to the Black Hole Alliance.)

Kris: He's gone! He's finally gone!

Hazel: He was our major obstacle to winning the game.

Holly: Audrey, you are a total lifesaver! I never knew you could run so fast!

Audrey: (scoffs) As if I was gonna let Raphael get there first! There was no way I was letting Horatio leave that Tribal Council still in the game!

Timothy: Seriously, Audrey, um, thanks for saving my butt back there.

Audrey: It was no problem! Anything to see Horatio eliminated.

Timothy: No, I mean... I really owe you.

"shrike"

- Knowing that I'm only in the game because someone won a running race is really scary. The fact that the other alliance targeted me of all people makes me realise that- that other people see me as a threat, and since the idol's still in play, I know that winning immunity is really important for me now.

Kris: Audrey, where did you go this afternoon? We were discussing who to play the idol on and you were nowhere to be found. It's lucky we caught you in time, or Timothy might not be here.

Audrey: I just went for a walk and lost track of the time. Simple.

Kris: You lost track of the time when there was such an important decision to make? A decision which could have impacted your game tremendously?

Audrey: Hey, it's not like there's any way of keeping time out here! Just relax. You think you'd be a bit more thankful to the lady who saved your asses instead of interrogating her.

Holly: Let's stop this before it gets out of hand, huh? I think we've earned ourselves a good night's sleep.

(The camera shows the Shrike tribe going to sleep.)

"shrike"

- As a police officer, I'm trained to spot liars and bad answers, and Audrey's inability to give a solid account for her whereabouts means she's lying about something. I know for a fact that Raphael would never have given up looking for that idol until he found it, so something tells me Audrey went and found it instead. Just a hunch, of course, but a good one. So my guess is Audrey gave us her idol and went and found the merged camp idol to use as a replacement for herself, or she gave us the merged camp idol and held on to her original one. I'm going to have to confront her about it; I can't stand secrets in my alliance. Of course, it must be done out of earshot of the other members. I wouldn't want them doing anything stupid. But this new development means I have to keep a very close eye on Audrey.

Shrike Tribe
(The camera cuts to Raphael and Itsuki, who are at the beach collecting water.)

Raphael: So... it's just the two of us.

Itsuki: (bending down to pick up the water.) Yeah. It seems weird, doesn't it? I mean, I was in the minority pretty much all through the tribal phase, and now I'm in the minority again. Funny. because I thought switching would give me an advantage, but it's turned out to screw me more than staying on that side would have.

Raphael: Tell me about it. I've gone from being in the majority, to being in a stalemate, to being in the minority. You know what's weird? All my problems were in some way caused by Angela. Angela, of all people.

Itsuki: So, if she was so problematic, how come you guys never voted her off? I thought she would have been one of the first to go.

Raphael: Because she's really tricky. When the game started out she was one of the sweetest people you could ever meet. Then she came up to Richie and I for an alliance, and well, we liked her and knew she wouldn't get far, and numbers are numbers, so we accepted. Then she started going all weird on us. She flipped on Wilhelmina at Tribal Council on the Double Council night, and we forgave her, because she disguised it as looking out for the tribe. Then she flipped and sent Richie home for no reason, and I was ready to dump her, but at that point I needed her vote to survive. Then it came to the merge and, although I didn't trust her all that much, I needed her for the majoirty. It's weird, right? She always managed to be needed.

Itsuki: Yeah, even when we sent her home, we could have used her vote. But now we know for next time, right? (smiles)

Raphael: Oh my God, I hope there's never a next time. So what about you? How come you ended up in the minority?

Itsuki: I pissed off Kris.

Raphael: And?

Itsuki: That's it.

Raphael: Really? Wow.

Itsuki: That and I aligned with the nice people. Marilyn and Bandito were my allies, but they all went home pretty quickly. Then it got to five of us left and I was pretty much certain to go home, so I'm basically only here because Anastacia hurt herself.

Raphael: (laughs) So you're the one who screwed us up?

Itsuki: Hey! That's not fair!

Raphael: Relax, I was joking. But I guess it's good you survived.

Itsuki: (pretending to be offended) You guess?

Raphael: Right, wrong choice of words. Hey, this water's getting heavy. Why don't we get it back to camp?

Itsuki: Okay, let's go!

(they carry the pot back towards camp.)

Itsuki: Hey, Raphael? This break from strategy is nice and all, but we need to think about what we're going to do with the idol.

Raphael: Well we're only two, so we can't do much about it The main thing is finding cracks in their alliance. If we can do that, we could get a third on our side and play the idol.

Itsuki: How are we going to find cracks?

Raphael: By watching and waiting. We hang around, wait for them to split up, then strike. If Kris is smart- which he is- he'll end up splitting the votes when we go to Tribal, unless one of us wins immunity. So we can beat him at his own game.

Itsuki: I like the sound of that!

"shrike"

- Kris has being trying to get me out since day three, and now he probably thinks he can split the votes and get me out tomorrow, but I'm not going anywhere! I'm going to slip right through his grasp, like I have been for all these days. It's going to be amazing!

(With Raphael and Itsuki back in camp, keeping eye on the Black Hole Alliance from a distance. Soon, the alliance are hanging around together.)

Holly: So, guys, if you win the million dollars, what would you do with it?

Kris: Spend it. Isn't that what everyone does with money?

Holly: (laughs) I know, but what would you spend it on?

Kris: Mortgage, day to day living expenses, the same thing I usually spend my money on.

Hazel: You wouldn't go on a holiday? I'd love to go somewhere like Fiji, or even Vanuatu...

Kris: No, because then there's just a huge build-up of work when I get back. Once I was off sick for a week, and the paperwork was everywhere.

Hazel: When was the last time you even went on a holiday? Five years ago?

Kris: Try ten. '

Audrey: WHAT!? If I didn't have a holiday for ten years I'd want to  kill myself! You mean to tell me all you've done for the last ten years is go to work?

Kris: Essentially, yes.

Timothy: So, um, Audrey, what would you spend it on?

Audrey: My house is a freaking dump right now, so I'd probably just move out and buy a whole new one. That and a decent car, and a holiday if I could afford one after that.

Hazel: If you can afford it? How expensive are these cars and houses you're buying?

Audrey: Hey, it's a million dollars! I have to treat myself to some luxury!

Kris: I don't understand that. Why would you bother wasting your money on a $300,000 car when a decent, ordinary family car works just as well, is a fraction of the price, and way more fuel efficient?

Audrey: It's not the car I'm talking about! It's the house!

Kris: The same concept still applies.

Hazel: A new car would be nice, but my top priority would be that holiday in Fiji, after I'd payed off mortgages and stuff. What would you do, Holly?

Holly: Me? Well, I still live with my parents, honestly, because I've never had the money to buy my own house. It's because of the salary and my debts, but I'd never dream of getting another job. So buying a house would be first on my list, then with the leftover money, I'd travel to a third-world country and do my best to help out there.

Hazel: Wow, that's pretty cool.

Holly: Yeah, third world countries just sadden me. I mean, we take all our stuff for granted, throwing away food, wasting water, and these guys don't even have clean drinking water. I get so angry when I see one of the elementary kids throwing food away.

Timothy: That's, uh, really nice of you.

Holly: What about you, Timothy? What would you spend it on?

Timothy: Well, uh, I'd take my girlfriend and I somewhere nice, and then I'd-

Audrey: Girlfriend? You don't have a girlfriend!

Timothy: I do! I- I do! Her name's Kate, and we met when she came and sat beside me at a party once, and then we kept talking and one day, I asked her out, and- and she said yes.

Holly: That's so cute! How long have you guys been together?

Timothy: Um, a- a few years now. But, uh, yeah, I'd take us on a trip together, and maybe buy myself a- a decent house or something.

Kris: (clears throat, then stands up) All this is lovely, but time is wasting. We seem to be low on firewood. Audrey, would you come with me>

(this takes the rest of the alliance by surprise)

Audrey: (startled) What?

Kris: Just come.

(Audrey gets up and follows Kris.)

Timothy: Do you want us to help?

Kris: No, you three stay here.

(Kris disappears with Audrey.)

Holly: That was weird...

Timothy: And so out of the blue. Uh, I- I don't think they're collecting firewood.

Hazel: I'm going after them.

Timothy: But, Kris said-

Hazel: I don't care what Kris said. If he wants no secrets in this alliance, he has to uphold that, too.

Holly: Aren't you worried this will cause more drama?

Hazel: He won't see me. I'm quite talented at eavesdropping. I'll come back and tell you what I find.

(Hazel disappears after them.)

"shrike"

- Kris is all about no secrets in his alliance, so how do you explain him just getting up and dragging Audrey away like that, and ordering us to stay behind? To me that just screams a side-alliance, which is incredibly dangerous this close to the end of the game. With Timothy and Holly getting together, if Kris and Audrey form a pact, I'm totally done for, and I'm not about to sit back and let that happen.

Timothy: I don't think that's a good idea...

Holly: You're right, Timothy. it's the exact opposite.

"shrike"

- So Kris just took off with Audrey, which, admittedly, was a little weird, but I brushed it off. Then Hazel makes a big deal about it and is determined to follow them, even though Kris told us to stay behind. This is a terrible idea! What I had in mind was quietly confronting Kris later, but this opens the doors for all sorts of drama. And trust me, the last thing we need right now is drama, especially when I know the other alliance is just looking for the cracks.

(The camera focuses on Kris and Audrey in the forest. Soon after, Hazel is shown arriving and quickly hiding out of the way.)

Audrey: What's this about? The others are going to get suspicious with you just dragging me away like that! Are you trying to cause rifts?

Kris: Just be quiet and listen. I'll explain this to the others in time. Meanwhile, you need to account for your actions last night before Tribal Council. And don't even think about bull me with that ridiculous "I went for a walk" excuse, because I know that's a lie. Really, Audrey, it's quite insulting for you to think you could get away with that when I've been working in the Police Force for over twenty years now.

Audrey: Okay, you got me! It was a lie! Jeez, it's not that big a deal!

Kris: It is that big a deal when I said no secrets in the alliance!

Audrey: Well, what do you call this meeting, then? I'd say that's a pretty big secret!

Kris: Look, we need to stop all this childish arguing. Have you not forgotten that there are two outside the five of us just waiting for a crack? It wouldn't surprise me if they were back there talking to Timothy and Holly as we speak! So just end this by telling me where you were last night, and don't lie to me again. I took you into this alliance and I'll just as soon send you packing when Raphael and the Geisha go home.

Audrey; Look, you can't tell anyone this, okay? I went looking for the idol- to keep it out of the hands of the other two!

Kris: I guessed. Did you find it?

Audrey: Why should I have to tell you that? I accounted for my actions- what more do you want!?

Kris: Do we have another line of defence against the two of them, yes or no?

Audrey: If I tell you, you can't tell anyone. This is between you and I.

Kris: It's between the two of us.

Audrey: I did find it. The idol I gave you last night was my original, but I've got the merged camp idol in my possession.

Kris: Thank you. I appreciate your honesty, and I won't forget this.

Audrey: You better not. Don't forget you promised me final three, and if you renege on that deal I'll make you wish you were never  born. Now can we drop all this ?

Kris: With pleasure. As for the final three deal, don't worry about that. It's safe.

"shrike"

- It's really pissed me off that I had to reveal my idol to Kris. It's removed my final 5 protection, which is what I found the thing for in the first place. The bad thing is that it's exposed me for elimination again once the final five hits, and possibly even earlier. But the good thing is I haven't lost Kris's trust, and the final three deal is still in motion. So who knows? This could be a blessing in disguise.

"shrike"

- Audrey's deception bugged me. Her desperation for that idol bugged me. It proves she's not a team player and, really, she's only looking out for herself. I agreed on the final three deal just to prevent her from going astray. She'll make a great goat to bring in front of the Jury, but the possibility of that idol being used against me at some point is weighing on my mind. Honestly, she might be too dangerous to take that far, no matter how great a goat she is.

(The two, completely unaware of Hazel's presence, depart, leaving Hazel stunned.)

"shrike"

- I don't believe it. This is worse than I imagined. Not only do Audrey and Kris have a final three pact, but she's also in possession of that idol. All Audrey's doing now, and I bet you it's all she's ever done, is look out for herself, and that action proved it. Having an idol so late in this game is like a virtual immunity necklace around your neck; if the others find out about this, they might keep her around out of fear, which means one of the four remaining allies goes home. With the dominance of Kris and Holly, and Holly and Timothy's pact with each other, I don't like my chances if Audrey gets that far in the game. I think it's best if I keep Audrey's idol to myself.

(Back at camp, Raphael and Itsuki have convinced Timothy and Holly to come meet with them down by the beach.)

Holly: I don't like this. I know exactly what you're trying to do.

Raphael: Look, I know you might think that staying in Kris's alliance is the best move, but honestly, do you think they're going to want to take you two in the final five? Kris, Hazel Audrey, they're far from stupid; they'll want to split you up to avoid a 2-2 tie at the final four.

Timothy: Well, that might be true, but w-we can hold on our own in the challenges.

Raphael: Can you? Kris is pretty strong. He did win immunity yesterday.

Itsuki: It would probably be better for you if you switched to our side. Kris plays his own game; Holly, you know that as well as I do. He voted off Pip that night because he thought he would win the game. Imagine what he could do to you! I'd say you've got a pretty strong chance at this point, and you know Kris will vote you off!

Timothy: You- uh, you're wasting your time. Kris won't do anything until, uh, the two of you get voted off.

Raphael: Yes, and his next move will be to split up the two of you. Think about it; you guys are doomed, especially with Audrey in the mix! Kris knows that no one will vote for Audrey, and he'll take her to the end, leaving out at least one of you. if not the both of you. Obviously you guys will split the votes; why not use that to join us?

Itsuki: It's a good move. We can take you to the finals.

Timothy: But the two of you will go together, a-and that only leaves one spot! I can't switch now. I-I can't. I've got a chance of getting to the finals in this alliance, o-of winning for the first time in my life, and I'm not letting that go.

Raphael: Holly?

Holly: Look ,it's not the best move for me to switch right now. I appreciate that you're trying to buy yourselves extra days, but the majority's here, and the majority is where I'm staying. So, thank you, but no thank you. I hope you understand.

Itsuki: (deep sigh) We do understand, it's just... you're making the wrong choice.

(Crestfallen, Itsuki departs. Raphael follows her.)

"shrike"

- That really sucks. Holly and Timothy were our best shots at surviving and they turned us down. I'm trying to see hope for Raphael and I, I really am, but I don't think we can make it out of this one.

"shrike"

- We got a rejection today, but I'm still holding my hopes up. Holly said NOT NOW, not no. So that means there's still a chance in the future. Once we get past this, there's still potential to worm my way further in the game. I know if I can just get to the final Tribal Council, I'll be a winner for sure!

"shrike"

- I knew Raphael and Itsuki would try to get me on their side, and props to them for doing so, but there was no way I'd say yes. My strategy from the beginning has been to stay in the majority, and the majority lies with the Black Hole Alliance. Yes we might be in danger come the final five, but I can certainly hold my own in challenges and should be able to outlast Kris for those immunities. So I'm certainly not jeapordising my spot for them. If the majority changes, maybe, but not now.

Reward Challenge
The camera shows an auction set, with wallets for each of the seven castaways still in contention.

Jeff: Come on in, guys!

(The castaways come in and see the wallets. Their eyes widen in surprise.)

"shrike"

- No obstacles? No structures? Wallets? It looks like a Survivor auction! I can't wait for this. I'm really hoping for a letter from home.

Jeff: Take a seat. The Survivor: Auction is about to begin!

(The castaways sit down excitedly.)

Jeff: Beside you is a wallet with $500 Australian. You can either keep it for yourself, or- if you see an item you like- you can bid on it. If you like, you can pool your money together to share an item. Some items in the auction will remain covered until sold, and you will have to take what's under them. At some point I may give you the chance to swap your item for a covered item, and if you choose to swap, you must take the swapped item. Just a word of warning, the auction will end without notice, so don't wait if you want an item. Right, let's get started on the bidding:

Raphael: Oh, baby!

Jeff: Raphael, come and get your steak.

(Raphael jogs up to get it, pays the money, and returns to his seat. He then takes a bite of his steak.)

Raphael: Oh my God! Oh... my... GOD! Mmmmmm!

(With Raphael enjoying his steak, and the others looking on enviously, Jeff brings out the next item.)

Jef: Holly, come and get your cinamon rolls.

(Holly collects, then returns to her seat. She turns around to Timothy.)

Holly: Do you want one? I'm happy for two.

Jeff: Holly, you're giving away the stuff you bought free of charge?

Holly: Yeah, I don't care.

Timothy: A-are you sure?

Holly: Take one.

(Timothy takes a roll, while Holly eats one of her two.)

Holly: (gasp) I've missed these things so much.

Jeff: Holly, wish you'd kept the other one now?

Holly: Not at all, Jeff. If I'd eaten that third one I'd be sick!

Jeff: Right. Well, let's bring out the next item:

Jeff: Hazel, come on up here and we'll see what you bought.

(Hazel pays her money, then waits to see what's under the lid.)

Jeff: For $250, you bought...

(Jeff lifts the lid)

Jeff: ...A chocolate bar and some crunchy peanut butter!

Timothy: (disappointed) I love peanut butter...

Hazel: YES! Wooooo! Jeff, you S.O.B, peanut butter is my weakness!

(Unable to wait, Hazel takes her first bite then and there, heavily coating the bar in peanut butter.)

Hazel: ''Ohhhh! Nobody'' is sharing this!

(Hazel takes her reward back to her seat and continues eating, as Jeff brings out the next item.)

Jeff: (stunned) Wow... Itsuki, you flew out of the gate!

Itsuki: I really love fried chicken! And french fries!

Jeff: Well, come up and get the most expensive fried chicken you've ever bought.

(Itsuki, with a huge smile on her face, retrieves her prize. She sits down, dips the chicken in some ranch, and takes a bite. She closes her eyes.)

Jeff: Itsuki, worth it?

Itsuki: I'm so happy right now, I could cry!

(the castaways laugh as Jeff pulls out the next item.)

Jeff: Raphael, come up and get your prize!

(Raphael comes up and waits for Jeff to lift the lid.)

Jeff: For $220 you bought... (lifts lid) A glass of boiled river water!

Raphael: ...Well, damn! (smirks)

Jeff: Enjoy!

(Laughing, Raphael returns to his seat with the water. Jeff brings out the next item.)

Jeff: Ladies, come and collect your prize! Audrey, don't forget that you need to give Holly one piece of that pizza.

Audrey: I'm not deaf!

(Audrey collects the prize and returns to her seat. She passes one piece of pizza to Holly )

Holly: ...This pizza is so good.

Audrey: I have not had a beer in over a month!

(Jeff brings out the next item.)

(Everyone comes up to retrieve their letters, except for Kris and Timothy.)

Jeff: Kris, Timothy, these are letters from your family and friends, who you haven't seen in over a month. Might I ask why you're refusing to take them for something as little as $20?

Timothy: Uh, I'm waiting for an immunity challenge advantage to come...

Kris: So am I.

Jeff: You guys both realise that this auction could end at any time, and no advantage could come up?

Kris : I'm willing to take my chances.

Jeff: Even if it means giving up letters from home?

Kris: Yes. I can live without it. I'll be seeing them in another few days anyway.

Jeff: Kris. Timothy, this is your last chance to get your letters. Going once...

(neither move)

Going twice...

Gone.

(Jeff puts the letters away. Everyone opens their letters. Itsuki immediately bursts into tears upon opening hers.)

Jeff: Itsuki, are those happy tears?

Itsuki: It's from my mom! I haven't seen my mom in years... It feels so good to- (swallows) to hear something from her...

(Raphael puts his arm around Itsuki, while the camera focuses on Holly.)

Holly: (tearing up) Oh my God... There's one from the elementary school kids! It says "Dear Miss Holly... we miss having you cook our lunches for us..." Oh my god... And there's one from my mom!

Hazel: Mine's from my brother. It feels so great to hear from him!

Audrey: Mine's from my husband... thank God, I haven't seen him in forever. (smiles)

"shrike"

- Audrey... happy? MARRIED? What?

Raphael: Mine's from my cousin, Michael... He and I are so, so close. It's fantastic to hear from him!

(With everyone in joy over their letters, Jeff brings out the next item.)

Jeff: Wow... you guys just bet $500, which you're saving for an immunitty challenge item, on something covered, that I'm assuming you think is the immunity challenge advantage, and it might not be.

Timothy: Well... I- I need that advantage. I got votes last Tribal, so I need to take the chance.

Jeff: We need to settle this with a rock draw. Come up here and draw rocks; whoever draws the white rock will get the item.

(Kris and Timothy get up, then draw rocks.)

Jeff: On the count of three... reveal. One... two... three.

(they reveal. Kris has the white rock.)

Kris: Yes!

(Timothy sighs in disappointment, before returning to his seat.)

Timothy: I really needed that advantage...

Jeff: Kris, let's see what you bought for $500...

(As Kris hands over the money, Jeff lifts the lid.)

Jeff: You bought deep fried lamb's brains and offal!

Kris: (furious) This is a joke, right?

Jeff: It's not a joke; this is what you bought. Sit back and enjoy your reward.

(As Kris furiously rreturns to his seat, Hazel and Holly slap their hands over their mouths to stop themselves from laughing; Timothy has to hide his face in his jacket. Audrey is a lot less secretive, laughing out loud, while both Raphael and Itsuki are in hysterics.)

Kris: Shut up! Stop laughing at me, or I'll tip this over your heads!

(As everyone is laughing, and Kris is going through his brains and offal, Jeff pulls out the last item.)

Jeff: Timothy, you've won the immunity challenge item you gave up a letter from home for. With that, this auction is over. Timothy, your advantage will be revealed at the next immunity challenge. Grab your stuff, head back to camp. I'll see you then.

(the tribe departs the auction.)

Camp
(The camera returns to camp, showing some castaways in the sleeping shack groaning in pain after the auction.)

Raphael: (groans) Oh my God... who thought that was a good idea?

Itsuki: I ate way too much...

"shrike"

- So, when we got back from the auction, we all felt a little sick. It was the first proper meal I'd had in about a month, and I just wanted to vomit everywhere. On the bright side, I got a letter from my mom, but all I can think about for those next few hours was the food practically clawing at my insides to get out.

Hazel: Hey, at least you guys got savoury food. That chocolate and peanut butter is not agreeing with me. I'm think I'm gonna-

(she suddenly gags, cups her hand over her mouth, and runs away.)

Itsuki: Don't vomit! You'll make me vomit!

(Timothy can be seen nearby, out of the sleeping shack, watching them with amusement in his eyes.)

"shrike"

- The auction was good for me. I not only won an immunity challenge advantage, but I also scored one hundred spare dollars. Kris seems a little angry at me though, s-so I hope he doesn't take it out on me. I was kinda sad that I missed out on a letter, because I needed it, but sometimes you have to make sacrifices for the greater good.

(The camera then focuses on Kris, who has isolated himself, as he takes out his frustations about the auction.)

Kris: Damn offal! Damn Survivor trickery! And Damn Timothy for winning the advantage! I've been tricked!

(angrily, he strikes at a tree, ripping some of its bark and loosening some leaves.)

Kris: Okay, you know what? I'll win that damn challenge. That'll show them! How dare they laugh at me? I'll be the one laughing when I win the million dollars!

"shrike"

- Today at the auction, I was totally humiliated. Even more so than when that stupid bimbo model beat me at the sumo challenge. Today was an embarrassment. and worst of all, a screwjob. I was robbed of that immunity advantage when it was rightfully mine! What else was I supposed to think? We talk about an advantage and the next thing that comes up is covered. Anyone else would have jumped on it. Oh, they may laugh at me now, but mark my words: advantage or no advantage, I WILL win the immunity challenge tomorrow!

Immunity Challnge
Jeff: Come on in, guys!

(The castaways fille in and stand on the mat.)

Jeff: You guys ready to get to today's immunity challenge?

(the castaways nod eagerly.)

Jeff: First thing's first: Kris, I gotta take it back.

(Jeff comes up and removes the necklace from Kris before returning it to the pole.)

Jeff: Once again, immunity is back up for grabs. For today's challenge, you will be locked in a makeshift cell, and have to escape through three doors. To retrieve the keys to those doors, you will have to construct a pole long enough and strong enough to retrieve them. Once you retrieve the key, you can unlock your cell door and move into the next one. First person to unlock and escape all three doors wins immunity, and guarantees themselves a one in six shot at winning this game. Timothy, you won an advantage at the immunity challenge today, so you will start with your first key already in the cell with you.

(Timothy smiles to acknowledge this.)

Jeff: We'll draw for spots, and then get started.

(the castaways, having drawn spots, await Jeff's signal.)

Jeff: For immunity... Survivors ready? GO!

The castaways quickly get to work on constructing their poles. Kris jumps out to a quick lead, with Holly not far behind. Although he has an advantage, Timothy is playing like they're on even grounds, and is quickly constructing his pole to catch up. Audrey is shown making a sturdy pole, but Raphael, Hazel and Itsuki seem to be falling behind. Kris is the first to construct his pole and begins fishing for his first key. Not long after, Holly has hers constructed. Kris catches his first key, but before he can bring it back, Timothy finishes his pole and unlocks the first door. Shortly thereafter, Kris has his key back and unlocks the door, hot on Timothy's heels. Audrey has finished her pole and is retrieving her first key as Holly brings hers back. She unlocks the door and heads into the second door.

Timothy then begins to retrieve the second key, with a slight advantage over Kris. Timothy has the key, and is bringing it back, when his pole breaks. Disappointed, he begins to reconstruct it as Kris works on retrieving the second key. By this time, Audrey has gotten her first key and joins them, while Hazel, Raphael & Itsuki have finally constructed their poles and are retrieiving their first keys. Timothy is just finishing his pole when Kris retrieves the second key. and moves on to the third and final door. Panicked, Timothy hurries to retrieve the second key as Holly brings hers back, and joins Kris in the final door. Timothy joins soon after, with Audrey not far behind.

The camera shows laggers Raphael, Itsuki and Hazel entering the second door, it quickly refocuses on the four in the third door. All four are working on retrieving their last keys. Audrey is the first to drop; her pole breaks in half on the last try, much to her anger. Holly, Timothy and Kris all have their last keys and are bringing them back. The camera zooms in as disaster strikes for one castaway: their key has fallen off the pole! The camera zooms out, and it's Kris! As Kris furiously tries to scoop his key back up. Timothy and Holly successfully bring theirs back. As both race out, Timothy has a slight advantage over Holly. Both unlock their final doors, but it is Timothy who is out first. He races to the mat for the win.

Jeff: ''Timothy wins immunity! ''

(A smile spreads upon Timothy's face as he is congratulated by Holly. The camera zooms in on Kris and Audrey, who both look furious at their shortcomings.)

(The camera comes back to all seven castaways on the mat.)

Jeff: Timothy, come on over.

(Timothy walks over, smiling, to retrieve the immunity necklace.)

Jeff: How does this feel, Timothy?

Timothy: It feels great.

(Jeff places the necklace around Timothy.)

Jeff: Timothy, you've just guaranteed yourself a one in six shot at winning this game. For the rest of you, after 33 long days out here, someone will fall six days short of winning the million dollars. Tonight, someone will become the twelfth person voted out of Survivor: Eyre Peninsula and the fifth member of the Jury. Grab your stuff, head back to camp. I'll see you at Tribal.

(the castaways head back to camp.)

Shrike Tribe
(The castaways return to camp after the win.)

Holly: Congratulations, Timothy!

Kris: Yes. Congatulations. You did very well.

Timothy: (gives embarrassed smile) Thanks.

"shrike"

- Today I won something, for the first time in my entire life, and it feels really good. I needed to win today, and I did. And it's made me realise that I can actually win this game.

"shrike"

- I'm fuming. I was so ridiculously close to winning that god damn challenge! If I hadn't dropped that key... (grunts) I thought my immunity challenge woes were over when Horatio was eliminated, but I've been upstaged yet again. This is beginning to seem like a running joke or something. I, for one, do not find it funny! I will have my revenge at the next challenge!

(As the alliances break off to discuss tonight's vote, the camera focuses on the Black Hole alliance.)

Kris: Listen up, everyone. Tonight's vote is absolutely crucial; the final step in our quest to take over the game. Once we get rid of the idol, the final remaining member of that alliance will be picked off and flicked away like a scab.

Audrey: I like the sound of that! I've been waiting to get revenge on Raphael. He's treated me like the whole game! We need to get rid of Raphael! He's a huge Jury threat!

Kris: Right. But the unfortunate thing is, they still have an idol. So that means they're definitely playing it tonight. Unless we want one of our members to be sacrificed, we have to split the votes.

Timothy: But... there's five of us. How do we split it?

Kris: Easy. We do a 3-2 split between Raphael and Itsuki. Raphael plays the idol, he negates the three and one of us goes up against Itsuki in the tiebreaker, and she goes home.

Holly: Hold on. Wouldn't it be best if we did the three on Itsuki and the two on Raphael? Raphael's obviously going to assume that we're targeting him, so he'll play the idol on himself. But if we put the three on Itsuki, he only negates the two and Itsuki goes home outright without the need for any ties, and without the risk of any disasters happening.

Kris: Disasters? Why would anyone deviate from the plan? It would be foolish.

Holly: You know what happens in Survivor! You saw what Tyson did, switching his vote at the last minute! Split votes are one of the riskiest things in the business, and having a tie after that is just asking for trouble! I think we should take the easy road, and just put the three on Itsuki to avoid trouble.

Audrey: You don't get it, Holly! Raphael is far bigger a threat than Itsuki is! We should just take him out while we can.

Holly: Haven't you seen Raphael's performances in challenges? They've been pretty bad. We can always just get rid of him at the final six instead. Besides, if we do the three on itsuki, we don't have to waste any time at the Tribal Council. I mean, anything can happen in a tie. We want to avoid that as much as possible.

Kris: Are you insinuating that one of us is unfaithful?

Holly: No, I'm just saying we should make this as easy as possible!

Hazel: Holly has a point. Why go to a tie vote when we don't have to? Not only do we save ourselves time, get back earlier, and avoid risks, but we also get to give Audrey the satisfaction of having Raphael squirm to stay alive over the next three days, as well as him having the guilt of getting his ally voted out. And, best of all, Kris finally gets to vote out Itsuki! It's a win-win situation for all of us.

Audrey: (laughs) I'd love to see that!

Kris: Great plan. Audrey and I can simultaneously get revenge on our rivals, and there's no need to go to a tie vote. Yes, that's how we'll do it. So here's what I want to happen: Myself, Audrey & Holly will vote for Itsuki; Hazel & Timothy, you'll vote for Raphael.

Timothy: What? Wh-why can't I vote with Holly?

Audrey: Does it really matter? All that matters is we get this done right so just vote with Hazel against Raphael like Kris asked you to! It's not that big a deal. Holly's not your mother.

Holly: It doesn't matter, Timothy. Just because I don't vote with you doesn't mean anything bad will happen!

Timothy: Well... I guess.

Kris: Besides, what are you worried about? It's not like you need permission to vote differently from her, and you have immunity. So you literally have nothing to worry about. Vote with Hazel like I asked.

Timothy: Okay...Sorry I brought it up.

Audrey: Let's not forget, guys, the other alliance will try and come to you at every turn, and you need to repel them. They can't and won't spoil this plan!

Kris: Yes. For now, let's all break up, and we'll meet back together before Tribal.

(They split up.)

"shrike"

- The reason I split up Holly and Timothy is that I don't trust them to be voting for the same people at such a crucial moment in this game. Timothy is Holly's lapdog; she has him in the palm of her hand. Together, they could conspire to screw us all over. Without Holly, Timothy has no one to confide in or build his confidence. And if something does go wrong tonight and this whole thing screws up, I know exactly who to blame. The only reason Holly is still here is because we need numbers. I know exactly what her and Timothy are doing, so I'm not letting them anywhere near Final Tribal Council.

(The camera then focuses on Raphael and Itsuki.)

Itsuki: This really sucks, Raphael! How are we going to get out of this?

Raphael: I know. I know it's bad, but we'll keep fighting.

"shrike"

- My performance at the challenge today was subpar, and that's sugar-coating it. One of us needed immunity today to make this idol play a whole lot easier, but now, the votes are probably gonna split. We had to climb a mountain to get out of this in the first place, but now this mountain just got one hundred feet taller.

Itsuki: Well, what are we gonna do? They're gonna split the votes on us. They know about the idol, Raphael!

Raphael: Yeah, they do. We're just gonna have to look hard as we can for cracks in the alliance.

Itsuki: But their alliance is pretty solid.

Raphael: No alliance is solid. We just have to be secretive.

Itsuki:  Okay, but shouldn't we decide on a vote before we go running around?

Raphael: You're right. What do you think?

Itsuki: Maybe Kris? He's a big threat in challenges.

Raphael: True, yeah, but do you really want to face someone like Holly in front of a Jury? She's basically sweet-talked her way through this whole game. She's bound to win if she's there.

Itsuki: Yeah, true... Maybe we could go after Hazel, too? I mean, she's kind of gone under the radar a little, but she's very smart.

Raphael: Maybe not the best idea. Yes, she's a threat, but we might have to go to her to stay alive.

Itsuki: Huh?

Raphael: Think about it. There's no way we can go to Timothy or Holly, because they won't ever flip. There's no way in hell we can go to Kris, so our only options are going to Hazel or Audrey. I don't really like the idea of kissing Audrey's ass, to be honest.

Itsuki: Still, we should try her anyway. See what happens.

Raphael: Okay, then. Let's go.

"shrike"

- I don't want to trust Audrey, and Raphael doesn't want to trust Audrey. Why does Audrey have to be the one we have to go to? This game sucks sometimes.

(Raphael and Itsuki are on their way to find Audrey. Timothy, who is lying around with nothing better to do, comes up and talks to them.)

Timothy: Hey... are you guys feeling okay?

Itsuki: We're fine. Why wouldn't we be?

Timothy: well, uh, I don't know. I was just asking.

Raphael: Thanks for your concern.

Timothy: Where are you guys going?

Raphael: Just for a walk. What, being the sitting ducks and all.

Timothy: Well, um, for the record, I'm sorry it's turned out like this.

Raphael: Appreciated.

Itsuki: It shouldn't have turned out like this. You should have sided with us on Day 25!

Timothy: Well, m-maybe, but they just offered me a better deal. You would have done the same too!

Raphael: Whatever. We're going on that walk.

(Timothy watches them go, sadly.)

"shrike"

- It- It really sucks that the relationship between Raphael and I has gotten this bad. If two Jury members don't like me, how am I meant to win?

(After walking for a while, Raphael and Itsuki find Audrey.)

Raphael: Hey Audrey! Wait up!

Audrey: (without looking back) What do you want, Raphael?

Raphael: Wait up!

(Audrey lets out a big sigh and stops. Raphael and Itsuki catch up.)

Audrey: What do you want?

Itsuki: We need to talk to you about switching your vote!

Audrey: Not interested. You can leave.

Raphael: Just listen! You know you're on the bottom of that alliance, and there's no hiding from that! If you switch with us, we'll take you to the final three!

Audrey: No, Raphael, you listen! Do you really think that you can treat me like utter the entire game, cast me aside so Anastacia has to take me in, not even try to convince me to stay on your side post-merge, and then have the audacity to come crawling back to me when you're the one in trouble!

Raphael: Why don;t you just have some common sense for once in your life? You'd be better off here?

Audrey: How dare you. Do you think I would honestly be so stupid to put myself in the minority. And for you, no less! Save you breath, Raphael. You and Itsuki can both get as far as I'm concerned. (laughs) You guys are so desperate...

(Audrey walks away.)

Raphael: (whispers) Bitch!

"shrike"

- Well, Audrey just threw away a million dollars! She thinks she's so clever, in her little alliance of five, but she doesn't seem to realise or care that she's on the bottom. We gave her a golden chance and she laughed in our face, but she doesn't know we have Hazel to go to still!

"shrike"

- Ha! Oh my god, look at how desperate those losers are! To think they actually thought they could swing ME to their alliance! I would rather crap in my hands and clap than align with them! Besides, who willingly goes into the MINORITY? Besides, it won't even be a problem after tonight! First, Itsuki, then Raphael. They'll fall, and I'll have the last laugh!

(Hazel is on her own. Raphael and Itsuki walk up to her.)

Itsuki: Hi, Hazel!

Hazel: Hey there. What's up?

Raphael: Well, actually, we wanted to talk to you about something.

Itsuki: Well, we kind of gathered that you're splitting the votes, and um, split votes are good places to make moves, so what we were wondering is, would you consider flipping to our side?

Hazel: And why would I do that?

Itsuki: Because Holly and Timothy will never split up! And you know Kris can turn on you at a moment's notice! It would be the perfect chance for you to get rid of one of them! Otherwise you'll just end up on the Jury.

Hazel: Hm.... Tell me more.

Itsuki: So we're gonna vote out Holly,because she's a massive threat. All we need you to do is switch your vote from whoever you're voting for, to Holly. And you'll also need to let us know who to play the idol on.

Hazel: Well... it's risky. For all I know, you could be trying to get me out. I'm not going to vote myself out, thank you.

Itsuki: Why would we lie to you? We have no reason to lie!

Hazel: Well, in that case, I might consider it. On one condition.

Raphael: Name it. We'll do anything.

Hazel: It's Audrey's name you write down tonight. Not Holly's.

Raphael: (bursts out laughing)

Hazel: I'm serious. The only way I'll switch is if you write down Audrey's name.

Itsuki: Why would we do that? Holly's a way bigger threat!

Hazel: Not really. Audrey's managed to worm her way up the ranks. She's made a final 3 deal with Kris and she still has an idol.

Raphael: What? No she doesn't. She played it!

Hazel: Yes, but there's still another idol in play, and she's found it. I overheard her telling Kris. She plans on playing it at the final five, so it'll probably end up being me going home. I have to stop her at all costs. So either you vote for Audrey tonight or you go home.Your choice.

Itsuki: Why are you doing this for us? Aren't you worried about Kris finding out?

Hazel:  No, not really. You guys don't know him as well as I do. The thing is, Kris is so easy to manipulate. All you have to do is say "Yes, Kris. No, Kris. Three bags full, Kris," and he believes you're on his side. It's almost comical. Now, are you going to write down Audrey's name, or not?

Raphael: Fine, we'll do it. What else do we need to know?

(the camera fades away.)

"shrike"

- The conversation with Itsuki and Raphael was a win-win for me. I can either get rid of Audrey and stop her being a threat down the long run, or I can use that false sense of security and tell them incorrect information, which will lead to their elimination. Either way, the vote is off me now. Now it's just about the choice I make, and I have to be prepared for the consequences of either one.

"shrike"

- This whole split vote situation just makes me nervous! I hope Hazel does what she said she'll do and hold to her end of the deal, otherwise I'm screwed! Even if I survive this vote and Raphael goes home, I won't survive the next!

(Kris meets up with Audrey in the forest.)

Kris: Audrey, I need a word.

Audrey: What do you want?

Kris: Your idol. You have it, so how about you use it for protection tonight, just in case someone decides to ruin the plan?

Audrey: What? Why would someone try to ruin the plan? It would be stupid! It would throw the whole game into chaos!

Kris: I know, I know it's stupid. But just in case, I think using your idol would be beneficial.

Audrey: No! You know I need this for the final five! Final six, even! I used my last idol on you guys; I'll use this one on myself.

Kris: Then use this one on yourself tonight!

Audrey: No! Then I have no protection for the final five!

Kris: You know what I told you. You're coming with me to the final three. I'll make sure of it.

Audrey: This could be a ruse to blindside me. I have no idea if I can trust you yet. I need to hold on to that idol.

Kris: Whatever. Your fault if the plan goes haywire.

Audrey': Which it won't.

(Audrey and Kris part ways.)

"shrike"

- Kris is trying to get me to use my idol, which is not going to work! The plan is set perfectly- he only wants it gone so he can get rid of me later, but it won't happen. I'm smarter than he thinks I am!

"shrike"

- Call me paranoid, but I wanted to use Audrey's idol for back up, just in case. She's stubborn, however, and won't let me. So I just have to put enough trust in my allies to pull through with the plan. They will, if it's in their best interests, because there'll be hell to pay if they don't.

(The Black Hole Alliance meet back.)

Kris: Right. It's almost Tribal. I just want to be very clear on who everyone is voting for so there's no mishaps. I am voting for Itsuki. Audrey, Holly, you are also voting for Itsuki tonight. Hazel, Timothy, the two of you are voting for Raphael. It doesn't matter who they play the idol on; one of them will go home, as long as we stick to the plan!

Audrey: We will, don't worry! We'd be stupid not to!

Kris: Everyone's clear on the plan?

Black Hole Alliance: Yes!

Kris: Then let's go.

Timothy: Holly... this plan will work, right?

Holly: Of course it will! Don't worry!

"shrike"

- Tonight, everything will go down as it should. Itsuki, I'm coming for you. You've evaded me for so long now, but tonight, I finally make the kill.

(The Shrike tribe begin the walk to Tribal Council)

"shrike"

- Tonight I'm terrified that I could go home! I don't know how they're splitting the votes. What Hazel said could all be made up. Let's just say I won't be surprised if I'm the one voted out tonight. But at this stage, my last hope is to trust Hazel.

"shrike"

- Tonight is probably the most nervous I've been in my entire life. I think I'm even more nervous than when I told my mom I was gay, and she's the most homophobic woman you'll ever meet! Tonight, my survival in this game boils down to one person, and I've got no way of knowing if what she says is true. I just hope she does what she says, or I'm completely screwed. But she seemed pretty adamant she wanted Audrey gone... or is that just part of the act?

"shrike"

- The way the vote goes tonight rests on me. The course of the game will change dramatically depending on the choice I make. Yes, Audrey is a threat. That idol so late in the game? The final 3 deal? All things screaming at me to write her name down. But Raphael, he's a huge threat, too. He's got a knack for fighting, and his friends are on the Jury, so he's bound to win if he gets to Final Tribal Council. I know I can take both out at any time. The fact that one is in my alliance now doesn't matter to me; I always have and always will play this game for myself, and only myself. How I vote tonight comes down to one question lingering in my mind: Who is the bigger threat?

The sun sets as the camera zooms out on the Shrike Tribe.

Tribal Council (Day 33)
(The shrike Tribe come in to Tribal Council and sit down.)

Jeff: We'll now bring in the members of our Jury:

Anastacia, Elijah, Angela and Horatio, voted out at the last Tribal Council.

(the four Jury members enter and sit down.)

Jeff: I'd like to remind you that the Jury is not to be addressed, nor will they address you. They are simply here to gather information to make a million dollar decision. Right, let's get things underway. Holly, at the last Tribal Council, it suddenly became very clear who the alliances were. Last Tribal literally came down to a race. You guys won, but that means that the other alliance still has the idol. How big an impact is that having on the decision making?

Holly: It's having a huge impact, Jeff. Knowing anyone has the idol is scary; knowing that person is in the other alliance is even scarier. You're constantly worrying about how to vote. Should I put votes here? Should I put votes here? How many votes? It's just a whirlwind.

Jeff: Raphael, even though you do obviously have the idol, does it take any pressure of you?

Raphael: Not at all, Jeff. Because the other guys know that I have it now, I can't just throw an idol around willy-nilly. I have to stop and think about it: are they splitting the votes, or are they thinking that we think they're split the votes, so they'll put them all on one person? I don't even know, but I've been going crazy all day thinking about it.

Jeff: Kris, Raphael talks about split votes. When someone has an idol, that does seem like the best way forward. Is that how you're thinking tonight?

Kris: I'm not at liberty to discuss my alliance's tactics, Jeff. But what I will say is that doing a split vote is one of the riskiest moves you can make. You have to have complete trust that everyone is going to vote how you've discussed. You know how you're voting, but you've got no idea what goes on behind your back. Basically, anything could go wrong, because you're forced to put your trust, your game, in other people's hands.

Jeff: Audrey, Kris is makiing a big deal about trust here, but we're on Day 33 now. Can you trust alliance members this close to the end?

Audrey: Short answer: no! It's Day 33. There's six days left. Everyone is thinking about the million dollars, and everyone's playing their own game. You don't know who's going to backstab you, or when they'll do it. The only person you can trust is yourself.

Jeff: Itsuki, when someone in the majority alliance talks about only being able to trust themselves, does it make you think "hey, maybe the door's open for me?"

Itsuki: I'm not going to assume anything at all. Audrey saying you can only trust yourself has nothing to do with dysfunction in the alliance, because it's a fact of the game. You can only trust yourself! That being said, I can't lose hope out here. I have to always believe there's options out there for me, or that someone's ready to jump ship. I can't just sit around waiting to go home!

Jeff: Hazel, Itsuki does raise a valid point about keeping your options open. There could be someone in the majority ready to jump ship. How worried are you that that's happening?

Hazel: You always have to be worried. It's been shown in previous Tribal Councils that once you get confident in the way the vote goes, you go home. I don't even know how they're voting tonight. Someone could be upset with me and try to screw me over. And if I were them (points to Raphael and Itsuki) I'd be watching us like a hawk. The only way you can guarantee safety is by winning immunity.

Jeff: Timothy, you do have immunity, and you are the only one safe in a crucial vote tonight. How does that make you feel?

Timothy: It makes me feel relieved, because I can't be voted for tonight. But at the same time, it makes me feel worried, because winning immunity puts a target on your back. E-even though I had an advantage and only won because of that, people could think "he won immunity before, he could win again. Let's get rid of him", and then I end up out. For tonight, I'm relieved. This is a scary vote and I wouldn't want to be facing it, because y-you don't know what's going to happen.

Jeff: Okay, let's not put the vote off any longer. Timothy, you have the immunity necklace. I trust you're keeeping it?

Timothy: Yes, I'm keeping it.

Jeff: Timothy is the only person you cannot vote for. Everybody else is fair game. Holly, you're up.

(Holly casts her vote. It is not shown.)

(Kris casts his vote.)

"shrike"

- For thirty days now, you have evaded my clutches, slipped through my grasp at every turn. Today is the day I catch you. Today is the day this game of cat and mouse finally ends.

(Audrey casts her vote. It is not shown.)

(Timothy casts his vote.)

"shrike"

- Um, we're splitting the votes, so you can't vote one of us out with the idol, and I got told to vote for you. I know you don't believe me, but I really am sorry for how this turned out.

(Itsuki casts her vote. It is not shown.)

(Raphael casts his vote.)

"shrike"

- I held up my end of the deal. I just hope Hazel upholds hers.

(Hazel casts her vote. It is not shown. She then returns to her seat.)

Jeff: I'll go tally the votes.

(Jeff leaves and returns a short time later with the urn.)

Jeff: If anybody has a Hidden Immunity Idol, and you want to play it, now would be the time do so.

(All eyes turn to Raphael. Sure enough, he stands up.)

Raphael: Jeff, um, I've been doing a lot of thinking lately. I could play this on myself, but part of me just doesn't sit right with that. I can't just sit back and watch my friend go home. Itsuki, this is for you.

Itsuki: (shocked) Are you serious?

Raphael: Completely.

Itsuki: But you'll go home!

Raphael: You've got a better chance of surviving  than I do. Take it. (he drops the idol in Itsuki's hands.)

Itsuki: If you're sure?

Raphael: Just go.

Itsuki: (stands up) Guess I'm playing it then.

(The other alliance is in shock as Itsuki plays the idol.)

Holly: (whispers) Something's up. He wouldn't fight this hard and just give the idol away!

Jeff:  The rules of Survivor state that, if a Hidden Immunity Idol is played, any votes cast against that person will not count, and the person with the next highest number of votes will be eliminated.

Kris: (whispers to Audrey) You should go.

Audrey: (shakes head) No.

Jeff: With that in mind, I'll read the votes:

First vote: ITSUKI. Does not count. (0)

(Itsuki gasps. Raphael remains expressionless.)

Jeff: ITSUKI. Does not count. (0)

(Timothy casts a worried look at Holly. Holly is equally as worried, but she turns him away.)

Jeff: ITSUKI. Does not count. (0)

(Some of the Jury members start gaping in awe at what they are seeing; Kris watches the votes with a frown on his face.)

Jeff: RAPHAEL. One vote Raphael. (1-0)

(Itsuki nervously looks at Raphael; Hazel remains expressionless.)

Jeff: AUDREY. One vote Raphael, one vote Audrey. (1-1)

(Audrey simply scoffs at this, although Holly and Timothy are looking worried.)

Jeff: AUDREY. That's two votes Audrey, one vote Raphael, one vote left. (2-1)

(As Jeff reaches in to pull out the last vote, Itsuki looks terrified, Raphael is beginning to look nervous, and even Kris is starting to frown. Audrey is smirking smugly at Raphael.)

Jeff: Twelfth person voted out of Survivor: Eyre Peninsula and the fifth member of the Jury... AUDREY. That's three, that's enough. You need to bring me you torch.

Audrey: (screaming) WHAT THE !?

Raphael: Wooooooooooooo!

(Raphael high-fives Itsuki, who breathes a sigh of relief. Meanwhile, the Black Hole alliance is in shock. Kris is glancing furiously at his alliance.)

Kris: What the hell just happened?

(Audrey grabs her torch)

Audrey: WHICH ONE OF YOU FLIPPED ON ME!? I hope you realise what you've done! You guys gave them an opening! AAAAH! !

(Audrey slams her torch into the ground.)

Jeff: Audrey, the tribe has spoken.

(Jeff snuffs her torch.)

Jeff: Time for you to go.

(Audrey turns back to her Tribe.)

Audrey: I hope you guys all rot in hell! traitorous assholes!

(Audrey suddenly rips her idol out of her bag.)

Audrey: NONE OF YOU WILL HAVE THIS!

(She throws her idol into the fire and watches it burn for a moment, before turning and walking out of Tribal Council.)

Audrey: AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!

(the camera focuses on Anastacia, sitting on the Jury.)

Anastacia: That better not be my idol.

(The camera then refocuses on ther group, with the Black Hole alliance stunned at the vote, while Raphael is sitting there laughing his face off, grinning from ear to ear.)

Jeff: Based on Audrey's reaction, I'd say the split vote has not paid off. As it stands, you are the final six. But will you guys sort out the problems in your alliances or put them aside to take out a common foe? Only time will tell. Grab your torches, head back to camp. Goodnight.

(Shrike departs Tribal Council.)

Voting Confessionals
"shrike"

- We figured that our best move would be to put the three on to you, to avoid a tie vote and any drama. You've pretty much been in the minority the whole game, so I commend you for getting this far, but now that has to end.

"shrike"

- When you fall, Raphael is next, and I can't wait to see that happen. I don't even care about you going tonight.

"shrike"

- I hope this works...

"shrike"

- If you think you can just waltz into this alliance after getting your tribe to hate you, and then make a final 3 deal with MY ally and take the spot in the Final Tribal Council that is rightfully mine, you have another thing coming. I've been with Kris since day 4, and I didn't align with him just to be screwed over by some bitch. You are by far the biggest threat, and the best thing about this is, you're so cocky that you won't even see this coming. I'm going to take you out, and I'll get away with it too!

Final Words
"shrike"

- WHAT THE !? WHAT. THE. !? What the HELL happened back there!? We planned that PERFECTLY, and some TRAITOR decided to get rid of me and it all up! I CAN'T BELIEVE THIS! I'VE BEEN ROBBED! I NEED A SECOND CHANCE! I DEMAND ANOTHER SHOT! Jeff, keep my number, because I guarantee I'll be coming back! As for those assholes, they can all DIE! I hope I NEVER see them again!

Next Time on Survivor...
Kris sets his sights on finding the traitor...

"shrike"

- This has gone beyond just a mistake. The time for people to own up is over. I'm going to take it upon myself to find out who screwed us over. Some rats are going to die today, I promise.

With Kris on the case, will Hazel get away with murder?

"shrike"

- I've got to cover my tracks now. I have to be very careful with the moves I make. As far as I'm concerned, there was one other person who was meant to vote Raphael tonight, and they will have to take the fall. I'll get away with this. I know I will.

And the underdogs suddenly find themselves on top...

"shrike"

- We've gone from being in the minority and on death row, to being the Gods of this game. We are the swing votes; we decide who goes. It feels good to be the king of the mountain again.
