The Day Has Come

This is the 14th episode of Survivor: Bora Bora.

Previously On Survivor...
After a shocking blindside, where Angie was idoled out buy Bridgette, the alliance's were split evenly 4-4. Knowing rocks were coming, both sides desperately tried to bring members to their sides, only to fail. Tianna won immunity, and Marsha wanted a fair game without playing the 2 idols, and let fate decide. At tribal, things went as planned, and there was a deadlock tie between Pete and Janet. The other 5 castaways drew rocks, and Marsha drew the purple rock, eliminating her from the game, and her allies in the minority.

7 are left; who will be voted out, tonight?

Challenges
Loved One's Reward: Paddle Out Survivors would roll a series of balls down a lane on a wooden board to the end where there are several slots for the balls to land in. The first person to land all their balls in slots at the same time wins.

Immunity Challenge: Odd Shaped Buttons Survivors must race across a ladder while maneuvering a bag of blocks along with them. When they reach the end, they would use the blocks inside to solve a puzzle, so the top of the puzzle is completely flat and level.

Night 29
The camera shows the Tortua tribe returning from a crazy tribal council, where Marsha was rocked out of the game. We see Tianna give a confessional.

The camera then shows Tianna, Jamal, and Pete talking about what happened.

Jamal: I can't believe that just happened. I shouldn't have listened to her.

Pete: What?

Jamal: I should have just played the idol.

Tianna: We had no idea who they were voting for, so it would have been wasted.

Jamal: I know.

Day 30
The camera shows the castaways walking into the reward challenge, Paddle Out.

Jeff Probst: Come on in, guys!

The castaways stand on their mat.

Jeff Probst: Alright, this is Day 30. 7 of you are left. You guys have fought hard in this game, and deserve a reward.

Pete gives a confused look.

Jeff Probst: It's time for some love.

The castaways all begin to cry.

Jeff Probst: Pete, you're up, first.

Pete cries.

Jeff Probst: Let's bring out your girlfriend, Anna, come on out!



Anna runs from behind the bush and Pete runs up to her and hugs her and picks her up.

Anna: (whispering) I love you!

Pete: (whispering) I love you too, baby!

Bridgette cries.

Jeff Probst: Pete, how important is it to see Anna?

Pete: Jeff, we started dating 3 years ago, and we haven't been separated for more than a week, so it's amazing to see her.

Jeff Probst: Alright, give one last hug, and Anna take a spot on the bench.

They kiss and Anna sits on the bench.

Jeff Probst: Alright, next up, is Abby.

Abby begins to sob, when she finds out she is next.

Jeff Probst: Abby, here's your husband, Mark. Mark, come on out!



Mark runs out from behind the bush and gives Abby a big hug and kiss. They whisper to each other.

Abby: How are the kids?

Mark: We think about you everyday! We're so proud!

Jeff intercepts.

Jeff Probst: Abby, what's it like having Mark out here?

Abby: Jeff, he's been taking care of the kids while I've been gone, and he is just the nicest man ever, and would do anything for me.

Jeff Probst: Alright, Mark, take a spot on the bench and say your final goodbyes.

Mark sits down after he kisses Abby.

Sawyer: I'm beyond proud! I had no doubt that I would be here, and that she would make it this far.

Abby smiles.

Janet: I love you!

Sawyer takes a seat on the bench.

Jeff Probst: Alright, Jamal, you're up next.

Jamal looks excited.

Jeff Probst: Who do you think it's going to be?

Jamal: Arthur?

Jeff Probst: You'd be right! Here's your cousin, Arthur.



Arthur runs out of the bush and embraces Jamal, as they both smile.

Jeff Probst: Jamal, describe your relationship with Arthur.

Jamal: Jeff, I'm an only child. I never had a brother, and this guy was the closest thing I had to an older brother. I always looked up to him.

Arthur takes a bench seat.
