Celebrating July Fourth a Little Early

This is the third episode of Survivor: Grenada- Temptations!

Challenges
Reward Challenge: More Than a Feeling The castaways will be blindfolded. They will race through a series of obstacles to a station where they will find a mask. They will study the mask using their fingers. Next, they will untie bags of puzzle pieces and head back through the obstacles to a second station where they will use those pieces to recreate the mask. The first person to get it right wins reward.

Reward: The Temptation, plus comfort items for the tribe. Winner: TBD

Immunity Challenge: Chimney Sweep The castaways would brace themselves with their arms between two walls while standing barefoot on two foot pegs. Every 15 minutes, the castaways would move down to smaller foot pegs. When the castaways reached the third set of foot pegs, they would try to remain on them as long as they could. The last castaway to remain on their pegs would win for their tribe. Winner: TBD

Night 6
(Following the blindside of Lennox, the nine remaining Gouyave members return to camp as ominous music plays.)

Wylie: (leaning his torch against a tree) Boy, am I glad to still be here.

Taihlaura: I'm glad you're still here, Wylie. (smiles)

Wylie: Thank you so much, Taihlaura. You really saved my bacon back there.

Taihlaura: You're welcome. Next time, you'll just have to be more careful when talking, huh? (laughs)

Samantha: Yeah, Wylie, next time you want to get me out, make sure I can't hear everything you're saying. (smiles)

Wylie: Duly noted. I'm sorry, Samantha.

Samantha: And so you should be!

(As Wylie nervously walks off, the ladies go in the other direction and smile at each other.)

Taihlaura: Thanks for picking up what I was putting down, girl.

Samantha: Thanks for bailing me out with that Lennox plan. (giggles) What's best is Wylie still thinks you're with him! And now that Trinity's number one ally is gone and we got Meiling and Jensen to still vote for Wylie, we can probably flip her!

Taihlaura: See, I told you it'd work out!

"gouyave"

- I pulled it off! It was the most complicated plan in history but I got the votes to push Lennox out and boy am I feeling brilliant right now! Samantha was really, really nervous about keeping Wylie in the game but I told her that, if we scattered the votes and got rid of someone loyal to Trinity, she might be pissed off enough to flip to us and give us numbers. I said it would work to her benefit, too, as no one would even think of playing an idol for Lennox, so she'd be safe even if one did come out. She agreed to it and we got everyone to switch their votes.. well, almost everyone. Eddiot got confused and voted for Meiling, so I nearly screwed up there, but luckily I had Wylie on reserve and he pulled through. This worked out brilliantly for me, because now I've completely affirmed my loyalty to Samantha and Wylie thinks I've saved him, so I've still got that connection, too! I have to strengthen my bond with Wylie just a little more to make sure it's 100% solid but I am still so happy with tonight! It could not have gone any better. Trinity was pissed at Tribal so I'm confident we can get that majority!

(The camera picks up again as they walk over to Brooklyn and a very confused Eddiot.)

Eddiot: Wait... you guys voted for Lennox?

Samantha: Uh, yeah, Eddiot.

Eddiot: Okay... huh? I thought the vote was Meiling so I voted her. Why didn't you guys tell me? I so would have been down for that.

Brooklyn: Um.. we did tell you.

Eddiot: Wait... okay now I'm really confused.

Samantha: (sighs) Right before Tribal, remember? We came up to you just as we were about to leave and said the vote changed to Lennox because he wouldn't have an idol used on him?

Eddiot: Oh yeah, now I remember! (laughs) ''Whoops! ''I can't believe I just totally forgot that. You guys should tell me, like, at the Tribal thingy who we're meant to vote for, 'cause the name kept changing and I got all confused... I remembered Brooklyn telling me about six times to vote for Meiling so I just went with that.

Brooklyn: (laughs) You nearly got yourself voted out with an idol, silly! Don't worry, we won''t change the vote that much again, and before we go to Tribal, one of us will always tell you definitely, for sure, who the vote is. ''

Eddiot: Okay! (laughs) Man, I can't believe I nearly got voted out with an idol because I forgot the plan. How stupid would that have been? Night, babes. I'm going to hit the hay.

(Eddiot makes his way to the shelter, laughing.)

"gouyave"

- (laughs) Okay, okay, get this. I thought the vote was Meiling because there was, like, a billion kajillion different names being said and stuff, so all I remembered was Brooklyn telling me Meiling, like, six times... but I completely forgot the vote got changed to Lennox at the last minute! And I got three votes and he got four, so I nearly got myself voted out and I didn't even use that idol thing because no one told me to! That's, like, the funniest thing ever. I voted for the wrong person! Luckily these guys are gonna tell me who the vote is, like, right before the Tribal so I don't forget again, but how stupidly hilarious would it have been if I got voted out tonight? I mean, it would have sucked for me because Brooklyn is a hot babe and I wouldn't have gotten to see her anymore, but my friends would have loved that!

Brooklyn: (sigh) I told you all that vote switching was a bad idea. We pulled it off, but you guys got lucky tonight.

Taihlaura: Don't worry, things won't get that complicated again. We should be fine for now.

Brooklyn: Yeah, I agree it was the right decision in the end, but you were very, very lucky to pull that off.

"gouyave"

- I was hesitant to vote Lennox because I knew Eddiot would get confused with all this vote switching. I think Taihlaura and Samantha are too caught up in the thrill of actually pulling off that plan to realise that it was a super messy ordeal they got super lucky with. I mean, we were one Eddiot vote away from losing an ally and our idol because he voted for the wrong person. Sure, the ends justify the means. We're in a really good spot to flip Trinity now because her ally is gone and she looks like she'd kill someone if it wasn't illegal, but we can't be that messy ever again. It's bad enough when you've got people who know what they're doing, but with Eddiot you have to be super clear and not change stuff. We're gonna have to look out for him even more now so he knows exactly who to vote for each time. Don't get me wrong, I adore Eddiot, but I feel like one of these days he'll do the wrong thing and we won't be this lucky.

(The music then grows dark as the camera focuses on a furious Trinity, stomping into camp, slamming her torch into a tree and throwing her bag in the shelter.)

Trinity: Okay, who the went against the plan? y'all. Someone better tell me what went on tonight!

Wylie: Trinity, I'm sorry, it's my fault. I shouldn't have tried to shake up the plan.

Trinity: Damn right your bitch ass shouldn't have tried to shake up the plan! How many times did I say in the last twenty-four hours that I wanted Eddiot out!? We were clear from the very beginning that we wanted Eddiot, even when your dumb ass suggested Samantha. And why would you tell Taihlaura about a plan that none of us were on board for!? Oh my God, you're dumber than Eddiot.

Wylie: In hindsight, yes, that wasn't my finest moment. (sigh) I guess I just thought, if I could get her on board for it, the rest of you would be more confident to follow suit. Again, I'm very sorry it turned out this way. It nearly got me voted out tonight, so you can guarantee I won't do it again.

Trinity: You shouldn't need hindsight to know you were a dumbass. And that reminds me, who the absolute voted for you, anyway? (points at Meiling and Jensen) You two!

Jensen: Yeah, we voted for Wylie, because he was being a snake and lost our trust!

Trinity: Are you kidding me!? Why would you even do that when I told you to vote for Eddiot? If you guys had voted the way you were meant to, Lennox would still be here. Which one of you pushed for it!?

Jensen: (not backing down) I did!

Trinity: God, why? Dumb ass bitch.

Jensen: Samantha told us that she was going to vote Wylie and I wanted to get rid of someone I had lost all trust in, compared to someone who's so stupid he can't even vote the right way!

Trinity: Well, you're giving him a run for his money in the stupidity department! WHY WOULD YOU BELIEVE SAMANTHA WHEN SHE'S NOT EVEN IN YOUR ALLIANCE?!

Wylie: Trinity, don't yell at Jensen. I can understand completely why he lost trust in me. I deserved it. You should be yelling at me instead.

Trinity: I'll yell at whoever the I want, bitch!

Jensen: I'm not stupid! How the hell was I supposed to know they were baiting me and voting for Lennox? Who does a 4-3-2-1 in the first Tribal anyway?

Trinity: I literally have no idea who's more stupid: You, Wylie or Eddiot? I (throws hands up in surrender)  I literally can't. This tribe is so full of stupid people who ''CAN'T EVEN VOTE RIGHT! ! '' the entire lot of y'all. Congratulations Samantha, Taihlaura, Brooklyn and Shivani on being part of the smart half of the tribe! AAAAAAAAAAAAAH!

(Furious, Trinity storms down the beach. As the rest of the tribe stands around awkwardly, Shivani walks over to Meiling and Jensen.)

Shivani: That is precisely why I warned you to stick to Eddiot.

Jensen: She's just salty right now. I was well within reason to want Wylie out and she's never gonna flip to the others anyway because Eddiot is there.

Shivani: I wouldn't be so sure. I'm going to work overtime but she might be mad enough to jump anyway.

"gouyave"

- Tonight was an absolute disaster. Wylie leaked everything to Taihlaura and was so driven by his complete trust in her, and desperation to get out Samantha, that he almost got himself voted out and put himself in an even bigger mess than he was already in by getting himself out of it. Wylie scared Meiling and Jensen so much that they voted for him and that was an absolute disaster, too, because they didn't listen to me even after I warned them, Trinity's angry at them too, and now there might be a rift between her and Wylie. At least Wylie kept his mouth shut about my idol, because we've got a huge problem in Trinity now. Not only was she desperate to get Eddiot out and it didn't happen because of the others, her number one ally is gone and I have no doubt this is exactly what Taihlaura set out to do. A+ job by those girls to manipulate my entire alliance the way they did. I'm so worried Trinity is going to flip now. The only people who didn't piss her off are those on the other side and, even with Eddiot there, I'm sure she's thinking about it now. I'm the only one she's on good terms with, so I'm still able to convince her to stay put... or we're doomed.

Meiling: We got completely played. I regret voting for Wylie now.

Jensen: So? There was no way to tell they were baiting us like that. Wylie did it to himself, anyway. Trinity's super mad but there is no way she's going to flip. She wants Eddiot out so bad.

(The camera then goes to Trinity as she sits on the beach, muttering furiously.)

Trinity: Bitches. I can't believe how dumb everyone in my alliance is. Ugh. We had the perfect plan to vote out Eddiot but people are too stupid!

"gouyave"

- I am so salty right now! Everyone in my alliance, except Shivani, are a bunch of dumbasses! We had the most perfect plan to get rid of Eddiot. All they had to do was write down his name, like we already agreed yesterday, and he'd be gone and I'd be freaking happy. You'd have to be dumber than Eddiot to that plan up and, guess what? That's exactly what they are! Firstly, bitch ass Wylie, who I am so pissed at, came and wanted to vote out Samantha and I was like, "No, bitch", and everyone else was against it, but then he goes and tells Taihlaura- someone from the other alliance- that he wants to vote her out, Samantha overhears, and then the dumbass VOTES FOR LENNOX INSTEAD OF EDDIOT BECAUSE HE HAS TO FREAKING "SAVE HIMSELF"! UUUUUGH! And if he wasn't such a snake then Jensen wouldn't have been scared into voting him! And don't even get me started on how pissed I am about that! I don't care how shady Wylie is. Jensen really believed Samantha- also in the other alliance- when she said they'd vote for Wylie? I'm sorry but that is obviously the biggest bait ever. Why would they vote out someone who literally spilled our entire plan? Why not trust your actual alliance and vote for Eddiot? Lennox is gone because of the three of them and I'm pissed. WHY IS EVERYONE IN MY ALLIANCE SO DUMB!? I'm literally in the worst tribe ever. One alliance is so dumb they screwed up the easiest plan ever, and the other has Eddiot in it, who is the dumbest person in the history of time and space, and the person who pisses me off more than anyone ever has. If it weren't for him I'd jump to the other side and not even think twice about it. I hate this tribe. Bring on a mutiny and get me out of here. I swear to God, if they wanted to put me on a tribe to drive me crazy, IT WORKED!

Carriacou Tribe
The camera opens on day seven for the Carriacou Tribe. Sad music plays as Kendra sits by the fire, stoking it from a distance, absent-mindedly, as she stares out into space.

"carriacou"

- This game has just been getting to me. I was awake for so long last night, thinking about what Topher said. It's just... (sighs) really upsetting that someone would so maliciously spread lies about me to turn my friends against me, and that's it working. Surely Topher would know me better than that? And why would Ashanda even do this to me? The longer I dwell on it the harder it is to get out of my own head. I felt on top of the world on day two: I had the Temptation, I picked my tribe, I had my boots and I felt really good about myself. But ever since I've been here, it's been one disaster after another and I can slowly feel all power I had just evaporating. What's worse is I don't even know what I did! Why am I such a threat to these people? What did I do to get them to turn on me? I'm not disloyal, I'm not shady, but for some reason everything just seems to be going wrong. I don't know why I feel so crap today, but all of a sudden I feel like I'm watching everything slip away and can't do anything about it.

(Kendra continues to stare out into space until Lulu exits the shelter and walks over to her.)

Lulu: Hey, Kendra! (noticing her face) What's wrong?

Kendra: (sigh) I feel like crap today.

Lulu: Why? Are you sick?

Kendra: No... I've been up all night again thinking about things. Did you know Ashanda's been spreading lies about me? She said that I told you I hated Topher.

Lulu: What? That never happened! Why would she say that?

Kendra: I don't know, but Topher believes her! (sighs) First Ashanda turns against me, now she's getting others as well... how many more people are there? I just feel so powerless. I'm not even doing anything to these people and I'm being targeted.

Lulu: That is so crazy. Well, you always know Stanley and I are never going to turn on you.

Kendra: Yeah, but three won't save me in a tribe of nine, will it? (sigh) Jason came to me yesterday right after Topher talked to me. He said I should vote out Ashanda and work with him instead.

Lulu: Yeah, from the sounds of things, Ashanda is way more trouble than she's worth. I wouldn't be opposed to getting rid of her.

Kendra: But the thing is... Jason appeared right after my conversation with Topher. It seemed so pre-meditated, like someone was telling him to follow me; On top of all this Ashanda I've got someone in the alliance leaking to Jason. I don't know who it is. I hope I can trust a five with you guys, Jamie and Mackenzie, but I don't know what I'm supposed to do. Every day I'm out here I just feel more and more helpless and it's driving me crazy.

Lulu: Try not to overthink it. I know that's hard because there's some crazy things going on here right now, but you know what my advice is? Talk to Topher, like a one on one, real, talk. Be open and genuine with him about how you feel and make a connection. Make him see that there's no way you could have said those things.

Kendra: I don't know how I'm supposed to do that if he didn't believe me the first time but... I'll try.

Lulu: Good! I'm sorry this is happening to you. I really can't believe Ashanda's doing this.

(They sit together for a little while longer before the rest of the castaways start to rise from the shelter. As Topher gets out, Kendra walks over to him.)

Kendra: Topher, want to go down to the beach with me?

Topher: Uh, sure.

(Topher and Kendra walk away. The camera focuses on Lulu, who looks after them worriedly.)

"carriacou"

- I'm really worried for Kendra. Everything that's happening, first with the people leaking to Jason and now with Ashanda spreading lies about her, is really starting to wear her down. I don't know how much more of this she's going to be able to take. I have no idea why in the world Ashanda's been lying about Kendra when she wants Jason out so bad, or why Topher so insistently believes her, but I really hope for both their sakes that Kendra can get through to him. It's just so cold and malicious to screw over someone who wants to help you and take advantage of someone's naivety and turn them against a friend like that. Ashanda knows full well she's lying. She's been an absolute disaster ever since she set foot on this tribe and I'm not going to sit back and take this from her any longer.

(As they walk away, Ashanda eyes them scornfully.)

Ashanda: Off they go, alone, again.

(Lulu rolls her eyes, then walks over to Stanley and takes him aside.)

Lulu: So, we've got a huge problem with Ashanda.

Stanley: Uh-oh.

Lulu: Yeah, uh-oh is right. She's been telling Topher that Kendra hates him, because apparently Kendra and I had this conversation in the shelter a couple of days ago where she said it.

Stanley: Uh... that never happened.

Lulu: Exactly! Ashanda's just trying to stir the pot and make a move against Kendra.

Stanley: Yeah, that's shady as. Didn't she want Jason out on day three?

Lulu: Yep! But now she's switched to Kendra for some reason. Poor Kendra's absolutely losing it because she knows her power is going and she feels useless.

Stanley: Well if she wants Jason to stay now, we can give her that! (giggles) We'll send her out instead. What a massive snake! I hope Kendra's going to be okay.

Lulu: She will be if she can get through to Topher, but who knows how many other people Ashanda has been filling with lies? We need to steer people towards how much of a snake she is.

Stanley: And how are we gonna do that?

Lulu: I'm gonna call her out on her BS in front of the entire tribe, that's what!

Stanley: Where's Bitch Lulu coming from? I love this. (giggles) But as amazing as it would be, is it really the smartest idea?

Lulu: If Kendra goes, we go right after, so what's there to lose? If we can swing everyone against Ashanda, we'll be a lot safer. Besides, she needs to be taken down a peg.

(Smiling, Lulu returns to the center of camp.)

Ashanda: I bet she's filling his head with so much.

Lulu: Nah, she doesn't need to do that. You've done an amazing job of that yourself.

Ashanda: Excuse me?

Lulu: Kendra's telling him the truth, which is what he deserves, and is more than I can say for you! You've been telling him that Kendra said to me that she hated him, which is so far from the truth!

Ashanda: Girl, you got caught in a lie, don't try to cover your ass now.

Lulu: Right back at you! Where was I when this conversation supposedly happened, huh?

Ashanda: It was day four. Topher went to the bathroom. Y'all thought I was asleep, and Kendra leaned over to you and said "I hate Topher, he's a traitor I was nice to him and gave him an alliance instead of making him first boot and he can't even vote right."

Lulu: Nice rehearsed line. At no point in time have Kendra, Stanley and I all been up together. Moses is usually one of the first ones up, right?

Moses: Yeah, I am, I'm used to rising early.

Lulu: And did you hear any of this conversation, or did Kendra and I talk about anything that day?

Moses: I don't recall hearing any conversations from you two, and I think I'd remember if I heard something like that. My memory's pretty sharp.

Lulu: Exactly, you don't remember it because it never happened. Has Kendra said she hated Topher with anyone else?

(The group all shake their heads.)

Lulu: See, Ashanda, the fact that even Moses is saying we didn't have this conversation- and he's always up early so would've at least seen us talking if not heard it- means you're obviously lying. And that also means you're taking advantage of Topher, who's had very few friends in his life, and maliciously him against one of them. That is so cold, even for you. And I can't even believe you're throwing Kendra under the bus for absolutely no reason when she's giving you a second chance despite voting Jason! Kendra's been so lovely to you and this is how you repay her? You are the shiftiest snake I've come across in my life!

Ashanda: Yo, just 'cause one man didn't hear your conversation doesn't mean it never happened, and why would Kendra go spreading to the rest of them that she hates Topher? Y'all are clearly BFF's and covering each other's asses, people need to see that.

Lulu: You mean the one man in the shelter who was wide awake and would have seen us talking, but says we didn't? He's got no reason to protect us. And by the way, if Kendra was going to have a conversation like tat, she's too smart to have it in the shelter where people could overhear her. You were there when she wanted Kory out. She walked so far way to make sure nobody could overhear her! You expect anyone to believe she'd risk a strategic conversation in an open space? I can't believe you've been caught out and you're standing there still saying I'm a liar! Have you told this lie to Topher so many times that you've deluded even yourself into thinking it's true?

Ashanda: You're a crazy lady, honestly. You're in a corner and you're just trying to throw me under the bus 'cause I exposed you.

Lulu: Oh my God, I'm crazy? You know what the strangest part about all this is? That you jumped up and down about how Jason needed to go home because he was rich, turned the vote against him on day three, refused to apologise for doing it and insisted he needed to go next, yet turned the vote on Kendra! Do you still even want Jason out?

Ashanda: Yeah, ''duh. You know'' he doesn't deserve to be here!

Lulu: Well you're going about it in the funniest way I've ever seen! Are you that determined to turn the entire tribe against you? The entire tribe knows you're a liar; you're telling people that Kendra hates them despite the fact you want Jason out, and you've just admitted in front of Jason that you're still gunning for him. If anyone still trusts you after that, they're crazier than you are.

Ashanda: Keep telling yourself that!

Lulu: And you haven't even got a comeback for that because you know I've destroyed every single piece of your argument and just shown everyone how untrustworthy you are. Next time you want to spread lies and be a cold-hearted malicious bitch to someone, make sure no one can cross-examine your stories, okay? Have fun trying to get allies now.

(Lulu flashes Ashanda a smile before walking away,)

Ashanda: (rolls her eyes) What a psycho.

Moses: Have you really been telling Topher that Kendra hates him?

Ashanda: Yeah, 'cause it's true!

Moses: I was awake early that whole morning and I didn't see Kendra and Lulu have any conversation.

Jamie: Yeah, there's no way Kendra would risk that conversation out in the open. She'd at least have walked off somewhere else, and I didn't see her leave the shelter once until breakfast was served that morning.

Jason: And anyway, Lulu's right: do you really expect anyone, me in particular, to believe you when you've just admitted in front of everyone you still want me out, even though you're turning people against Kendra? I think she's right. You are determined to get the whole tribe against you. Well, congratulations, I think it worked.

Ashanda: Whatever, you just hate me so much you refuse to see the truth.

(Ashanda walks off.)

Jason: I can't believe she got exposed as a complete liar and she still won't back down from it.

Moses: Too right. She's far too untrustworthy.

"carriacou"

- I only joined an alliance with Ashanda because I felt no one else would offer me one. Well, hear me when I say this: as of right now, I am severing that alliance with her. She is dangerous, she is untrustworthy, she is a proven liar, and she is cold, manipulative and malicious. After learning that she lied to such a degree and how her stories are conflicted, how can anyone in their right mind trust that what she's telling them is the truth? She won't even back down from her thoroughly disproven lie. Not only that, but her manipulation of Topher is heinous. No one knows where her head is at and I'm inclined to believe she's causing chaos just for her fifteen minutes of infamy. I'd be very glad to see her leave if we attended Tribal Council next.

(Following Moses' confessional, the camera changes focus to Ashanda, who is looking irritated and concerned.) 

"carriacou"

- So that bitch Lulu decided to call me out as this liar and now no one trusts me. It was all going so brilliantly. I had the perfect lie. Topher fell for it hook, line and sinker, I had Moses by my side, we were gonna boot Jason and then turn the votes on Kendra and I was gonna be on top of the world. Now people are gonna turn this around on me. Topher must have blabbed to Kendra. Ugh. I can't believe this. I'm in a really spot right now. Well, if they think I'm just gonna lie around and die, they've got another thing coming. I'm going all out now. People may think I'm a snake but there's still one out there, who's been leaking all this to Jason. I'mma have to lay low for now until a bit of this heat goes down, but I plan to find out who that is and expose the hell out of them. If I'm getting dragged for my lies, you bet your ass I'm not letting someone else get away with theirs!

(Following Ashanda's confesional, the camera picks up on the beach, where Kendra and Topjer are relaxing in the water. Topher has his shirt off and is in his bathing suit.)

Kendra: Thanks for hanging out with me again, Topher!

Topher: That's okay. The water feels so nice today!

Kendra: This is such a change from the start of the game! On day two, you didn't even want to take your shirt off.

Topher: Yeah, I guess that's true. I've never been confident in my body. I could stand to lose a few pounds, too. I'm not exactly fit, in case you can't tell. (laughs)

Kendra: Well I'm glad that the game is helpimg you be a little more body confident. And you don't need to lose a few pounds, you look fine!

Topher: Yeah, I never could have done it without you and he others encouraging me that day. Thanks!

Kendra: It's not a problem! I know all about body confidence issues. You know I got told I was too fat to be a model?

Topher: What? How are you fat?

Kendra: Exactly! But this real jerk of a guy told me that I needed to lose more weight or they'd never take me for shoots. I didn't want to end up anorexic but what he said really stung me for a while. I lost a lot of confidence and it really showed in my shoots. But then the negative comments on the shoots would get my confidence even lower and it was just this constantly repeating cycle.

Topher: Holy How did you ever break out of it?

Kendra: One day I was looking back on my old shoots, before that guy brought me down, and I realised my body looked perfectly fine! I decided then I was going to just take a positive attitude about it and not let one asshole give me body confidence issues anymore. It really reflected in my next shoot and the guy that did it said it was amazing and I ended up working for them permanently! So, basically, I just changed my attitude and things started getting more positive for me. The same thing will happen to you. I understand that you've had self-esteem issues most of your life but, out here especially, we can really help you get through them and you can start changing your outlook on things!

Topher: Wow, Kendra, that's really inspiring, and it means a lot that you're sharing that with me to help my own confidence. You know, I really like you and I'm sorry that I betrayed your trust by voting Jason the first round. I really wish things hadn't gone south between us.

Kendra: They haven't! Topher, I never said I hated you. I don't hate you. I like you, okay? Please believe me!

Topher: I don't know, Kendra. People have pretended to be my friend and said really nasty stuff behind my back and said they didn't... how do I know you're not just doing this to me? If you did, please just admit it now.

Kendra: (getting emotional, reaching for Topher's hand) I swear on everything, Topher, I never said that about you. Listen, I don't kmow why, but Ashanda's trying to set me up! She's playing you against me. She's the real fake friend, not me. All she cares about is trying to get herself ahead in the game.

Topher: I don't mean to make you upset! This whole thing is just so confusing to me.

Kendra: If I'd really said that, I would have told you by now. You can ask literally anyone else on this tribe and they'll tell you the same thing- Ashanda's just causing trouble. Please, Topher. I can feel my game slipping away from me and because of that Temptation I don't have any idols to protect myself. If I go out, I want it to be on my own terms, or because someone outplayed me, not because someone spread malicious lies about my character.

Topher: Okay... I just don't understand why Ashanda would do that to us.

Kendra: Because she's an evil ''psycho. ''I put her on this tribe so I could get Jason out as an easy next boot after Kory but it's been the worst decision of my life! Please don't let her take me down. She's the most untrustworthy person here! I don't know what more I can do to prove to you that I didn't do this! My friends all said to me that I'd be a really early boot and I want to prove them wrong. I can't go down like this, Topher. I just can't.

Topher: I know this means a lot to you. I hate that I'm making you this upset. You've been good to me and, if you really didn't say that, then I want us to stay friends. I'm really, really confused right now, you have to understand that. I'm gonna find out the truth eventually but I promise, unless I find out you did it, I'm not going to vote you out for it, okay?

Kendra: (sigh) Okay. Thanks, Topher.

(The two of them relax in the water for a little longer. The camera focuses on Kendra, who gives a shaky breath.)

"carriacou"

- I opened up to Topher about my struggles with confidence in the modelling business because I wanted to show him I was genuine and hadn't been saying the things he thinks I said. I hope that, after this, that bond is restrengthened and he really believes me. I don't know what more I can do to prove to him that I'm telling the truth. It hurts that I feel my game slipping away and it's all over something that I didn't even do. On top of all this I have in the back of my mind the things my friends said to me before I went out here: "you're so gonna be an early boot," "you're too emotional", "you're gonna make a big mistake", and I really don't want to make that a reality. (wipes some tears away) I have to prove that I can make it through this.

(The camera then focuses on Topher, who is looking really nervous.)

"carriacou"

- I was touched when Kendra and I talked just then, and she opened up about her body confidence issues while trying to help my own. I saw a vulnerable side to her, something more genuine, and the more I think about it the less likely it seems that she said those things. I don't think she'd be trying this hard if she had. But that just makes me even more confused, because I can't think of a reason why Ashanda would lie to me like that. (groans) No matter which way I go on this I'm going to piss someone off, and if I make the wrong call about someone it's going to be really damaging to them. I never expected I'd be under this kind of pressure during the game and I don't know what to do about this situation.

(Following this, the camera picks up on Mackenzie, Jason and Jamie, who have quietly slipped away after all the commotion in camp.)

Mackenzie: Well, if that's not Ashanda completely blowing up her game, I don't know what is.

Jamie: Yeah, I wonder why she'd start spreading lies about Kendra when she still wants you out? Now the entire tribe knows she's been scheming, no one trusts her.

Jason: (laughs) In a way, I have to thank Ashanda for giving me a free pass. If even Lulu and Stanley are against her, and Moses basically proved she made everything up, there's no reason for anyone to keep her over me.

Mackenzie: Yeah, it shouldn't be hard to turn the entire tribe towards her. Did you get the chance to talk to Kendra?

Jason: Yeah, she was angry when she heard what Ashanda had done. She seemed open to getting rid of her, and when she finds out that the entire tribe knows Ashanda is a liar, hopefully she won't be so caught up in the idea of keeping that alliance of seven strong.

Mackenzie: It should be so easy to bring you into the alliance now. I'm not sure where she's headed with Topher, but she wants a five with us, Lulu and Stanley. If she feels she can trust you over Moses and Topher, she'll bring you on board as a sixth. From there, we'll be the ones holding the power and things should run smoothly.

Jason: I like the sound of that!

(As the three of them confirm their plan, the camera focuses on Mackenzie.)

"carriacou"

- Ashanda blowing up her game couldn't have come at a better time for me because it puts me in a really good spot. Kendra appears open to working with Jason and, with Ashanda in hot water, it should be easy to slide Jason into our main group as the sixth. Jamie has been my number one since the game started and I know Lulu and Stanley are in a three with Kendra, so my loyalty has to be with Jason and Jamie if I want to stick around after this. I'm comfortable with my place in the game right now but it's all a bit of a balancing act. Kendra thinks I'm in a five with Jamie and her trio, but she doesn't know how close I am with Jason. I've been doing a great job so far of keeping that under wraps and I just have to keep at it a little longer. If she gets wind of it, though, not only will Jason be in danger but I will as well. I'm basically managing two alliances at once. I didn't want to be playing like this. In fact, I wanted targets ahead of me, so I hope this doesn't all blow up in my face.

Gouyave Tribe
The camera opens up on the beach on day seven. Wylie is on the beach, with Meiling and Jensen.

Wylie: Thanks for coming out here, guys. I really appreciate it.

Meiling: It's no problem at all. I hear you talk yourself up as a fisherman, so it will be good to see if you can walk the walk... or should I say, swim the swim? (laughs)

Jensen: Hey! I thought only dads were meant to make terrible jokes!

Wylie: Trust me, I've done a lot of fishing in my life. But before that, I'd like to talk to you, if you'd let me.

"gouyave"

- I'm quite aware I well and truly butchered things last night. Not only did I nearly get myself voted out, I lost the trust of Meiling and Jensen so much that they voted for me. I'm not going to hold any grudges against them at all, because I entirely understand why they did it. To be honest, I probably would have done it in their shoes. I got so carried away with the idea of blindsiding Samantha last night that I didn't even stop to think what I was doing, and I got in such a mess I ended up having to vote out one of our own members just to ensure I stayed alive. If I'm to make it further in this game I need to calm down, mend my bridges and stick firmly to the alliance. To do that I need to show Meiling and Jensen that I'm genuine about wanting to work with them and hope they'll be kind enough to give me a second chance to prove my trust. I genuinely regret how I handled that situation yesterday and I hope I can make them see that.

Jensen: Okay, what would you like to say?

Wylie: I just wanted to apologise for everything that happened with the last Triibal. I know that I well and truly lost your trust and caused you guys to vote for me. I don't blame you at all. I know that everything that happened was entirely my fault, but I really want to make it clear that I'm not going to do that again. I'm sorry for everything I did and I want to stay loyal to you guys, if you're willing to give me a second chance.

Meiling: Here's the thing, Wylie. It's good that you recognise you made a mistake, are apologising for it and trying to make amends. The thing that got us so worried, though, was Samantha told us you specifically mentioned Jensen and I as being close. Those kind of comments leave a lingering target for the remainder of the game, and it's hard to trust someone who does that kind of damage to you.

Wylie: I know and I completely regret that comment. I wish I could take it back, but I was so caught up in selling the Samantha blindside to Taihlaura as a good move that I didn't even stop to think what I was saying. See, I'm such a fan of this show and I'm still in the excitement of being here. I was caught up in this thrill of pulling off an amazing move so early in the game and I think that blinded me to how much danger I was putting myself in. I was living in this bubble, thinking everything was just going to go to plan.

Jensen: You hit the nail right on the head there. You were caught in a bubble, dude. None of us wanted to vote Samantha out, yet you still pushed for it, you went to Taihlaura and leaked our entire plan. How can we be sure you won't do that again?

Wylie: I won't, I swear it. I'm going to be one hundred percent committed to our alliance, which means I'm going to listen to what you guys have to say and not spilling plans to people. I don't know how I'm going to prove that to you, but I just hope I'll have the chance to do it and I haven't damaged this beyond repair.

Meiling: There's one thing: what's your relationship with Taihlaura like? It seems that you prioritise her over us, yet she's with the other alliance. I don't know where your loyalty is because of that.

Jensen: Yeah, man, you seem way too invested in Taihlaura for your loyalty to actually be with us.

Wylie: Here's the deal with that: Taihlaura and I bonded over our mutual religion and that's something I care deeply about. I feel we have a personal connection, I trust her and I think she could be a viable option for us in the future. That being said, if you don't want me to tell her something, I promise that I won't. My loyalty will be to our alliance first.

Meiling: I believe that. It's probably the most genuine you've been with us in the time you've been here. I'm willing to give you a second chance, if Jensen is.

Jensen: (sigh) I'm nervous, dude, I really am, but I think you're being real with us. Just don't screw us again or we'll cut you faster than you can blink.

Meiling: And that means no leaking of plans, please.

Wylie: I won't, I promise. Thank you so much for this, you won't regret it. Now, want to watch how a pro fishes? (laughs)

Jensen: You're welcome. And alright, let's see you put your money where your mouth is. (smiles)

(Smiling, Wylie heads off to fish. The camera focuses on him as his confessional is heard.)

"gouyave"

- I am so relieved that Meiling and Jensen forgave me. I truly will be honest with them and, although I still trust Taihlaura, I'll respect their wishes and keep things form her if asked. Being such a huge fan of this show was a curse in a sense, as I got so excited that I never stopped to think about the repercussions my actions would have not just on myself, but others. I've put a lingering target on them because of my big mouth and for them to still be willing to give me another shot warms my heart. God has granted me a second chance in this game and I am not going to waste it. I will change and be the loyal ally I should have been from the get-go.

(The camera then changes focus to Meiling and Jensen.)

Jensen: Do you think we made the right call?

Meiling: I think so. I don't see him turning on us again.

"gouyave"

- Although I won't forget Wylie's mouth put a target on Jensen and I that won't go away, I gave him a second chance because he seemed genuinely remorseful for his actions and wanted to make it up to us. People make mistakes, both in life and in this game, and what's important is not dwelling on that but giving them a chance to learn, grow and change. I believe that voting for Wylie scared him into being more subdued, as he recognises he was entirely at fault for it. I don't see him turning on us again, because he's committed to us. Even though he trusts Taihlaura, I feel he has learned from this past mistake and won't leak things we don't want him to. Make no mistake, though: I am giving him a second chance but it is the final one he'll get. If he makes this mistake again, I will cut him without a second's hesitation. You get one shot to redeem yourself with me and if you don't do it, you're on your own.

(Following Meiling's confessional, the camera pans up to Trinity, who has watched the entire conversation on the beach and is now furious.)

Trinity: (raising her arms in disbelief) Bitch, the ?

(Trinity storms off. The camera focuses on her irritated expression.)

"gouyave"

- I was going for a walk this morning and of course I see Wylie trying to suck up to Meiling and Jensen. I bet he was saying how sorry he is and how he's gonna be loyal and I'm like, "if you really were loyal to us you wouldn't have screwed up in the first place." But I kept watching and it looks like they're forgiving him? Ugh. Hell no! They're even stupider than I thought. I cannot believe Wylie voted Lennox out of here, leaked our whole plan, screwed up our perfect plan to get rid of Eddiot and clearly has conflicting loyalties, but Meiling and Jensen are just letting him waltz back into the alliance like nothing happened. The more these guys do stupid like this, the more tempting the other alliance is looking!

(The camera picks up as Trinity walks over to Shivani.)

Shivani: Hi, Trinity.

Trinity: I've just about had it with this alliance, I swear. Walk with me.

Shivani: (concerned) Okay.

(The two go for a walk.)

Shivani: What happened?

Trinity: You know what I saw this morning? Wylie sucking up to Meiling and Jensen on the beach, and worse, they just let him back into the alliance! Do you have any idea how much that pisses me off? He's such a snake. And did they bother to ask me what I thought about it? No! Of course not! No one ever asks me what I want or listens to what I have to say, although if they had, we wouldn't be in this situation!

Shivani: I understand your frustrations, but to be honest, I think Wylie has been scared into staying loyal. I also don't think you should be blaming him entirely, because Taihlaura one hundred percent manipulated him and is playing both sides like crazy.

Trinity: Yeah, I can't believe Wylie fell for that BS. But even so, it still bugs me that nobody bothered to find me and ask me what I thought. Those three deadass never listen to me, I swear. How many times did I say no to the Samantha vote, then tell everyone I wanted Eddiot out?

Shivani: True, I agree with you there. They tend to do their own thing. I told Wylie right before Tribal Council that he was being played and we had enough votes for Eddiot. I told Meiling and Jensen to stick to it, too, when they asked me about Wylie.

Trinity: Ugh, I wish I'd known, because I would have screamed at them, but that just proves that they're only in this for themselves.

Shivani: That's actually why I didn't tell you. I needed the girls to think whatever plan they had was working so an idol wouldn't come out, and I was worried if you got wind of it you'd burn the whole camp down. (laughs)

Trinity: (cackles) You're right, girl, I totally would have. See, that just means you're easily the smartest here. (sigh) Tell you what, though, I'm seriously starting to consider my options.

Shivani: As in flipping?

Trinity: Yeah. Like, I'm just not heard in this alliance, I have nothing in common with literally any of them and I already know I'd have so much more in common with the others. Like, I don't wanna screw you over because you're deadass the one person I like out here, but I'm not sure if that's enough.

Shivani: Even with Eddiot on the other side?

Trinity: Mmmhm. I hate Eddiot so much it makes my blood boil, but I'm not gonna be the dumbass bitch who lets that stop me from jumping ship if it's best for my game. Don't get me wrong, I want him out of here ASAP and if I can get him out, I will, but I thought I could work something out with this group and I don't think so anymore.

Shivani: I'm glad that you don't want to screw me over, because if there's one thing I can promise within that group,it's that I'll be loyal to you, listen to you and won't screw with you. In fact, would you like to know a secret?

Trinity: What?

Shivani: (dropping her voice a little lower) I have one of the idols here.

Trinity: (excited) Get out! Seriously?

Shivani: Yeah! I've got it on me right now. I'll show you.

(They keep walking until they are sheltered by some trees. Shivani reaches into her shirt.)

Shivani: Sorry if you accidentally see my boob.

(She pulls the idol out and shows Trinity, who jumps with excitement.(

Trinity: Yes, girl! I'm so happy that you're the one in that group who has it. Who else knows?

Shivani: Only Wylie.

Trinity: (rolls eyes) Then it's probably not a secret anymore.

Shivani: No, he hasn't told anyone or else I wouldn't be here anymore. Anyway, I hope this shows you that I'm serious about sticking with you. All I have to say is please stay with the group. Everyone's going to be loyal from now on and if you jump now, it will screw me over. We need to get one of their numbers down first, okay?

Trinity: Okay, girl, I hear you.

(Trinity and Shivani walk back to camp. The camera focuses on a nervous-looking Shivani.)

"gouyave"

- Trinity is dangerously close to flipping and I'm having to work double to make sure that doesn't happen. She confirmed to me that she's considering her options because she doesn't feel respected in the alliance. Honestly, even I'm starting to get sick of Meiling and Jensen because it shouldn't take much common sense to include Trinity in a conversation with Wylie. I know Wylie is going to be loyal to us, but Trinity doesn't and she has every right not to trust him after what happened. I showed Trinity my idol to have something between us so she has some incentive to stay and it's a relief to hear I'm the main reason she's having doubts about jumping. The others need to be careful, though, because if they don't start doing some serious damage control, even that won't be enough to stop her.

(Following Shivani's confessional, the camera picks up as Samantha and her alliance meet for a discussion.)

Still in the Running
Three Carriacou women are worried about their games. Whose is most likely to be in danger? Kendra- Power is slipping away from her and she has no way of combating it Ashanda- She has been exposed as a liar, she is unpredictable and no one trusts her. Mackenzie- She's playing both sides and all it takes is for someone to catch her talking to Jason.
