Trust Nobody Because People Suck

Trust Nobody Because People Suck is the second episode of Survivor: Guyana

Challenges
Reward Challenge: Ball-istic Missiles Two members of each tribe must use poles to knock out sandbags from an overhanging net. Once they have all their sandbags, they must then untie a slingshot. Each tribe must use the slingshot to get the sandbags into two baskets, which will raise a flag. The first two tribes to raise their flags win. Reward: A large fishing kit and net (1st place); Fishing line and bait (2nd place)

Immunity Challenge: Serpent Turf Tribes must race out into the water and swim over to their respective bamboo cage. Once the entire tribe has arrived, each person must climb up and over the cage wall into the water. They must then retrieve a long and heavy snake and bring it back to shore after crossing a balance beam before setting the snake on a table. The tribes must then retrieve six number tiles from inside the snake, which will be used to solve a number combination lock. Solving the combination lock frees eight rings that three castaways must throw at a series of oars that, when hit, will eventually spell out "IMMUNITY". The first two tribes to spell out "IMMUNITY" win.

Wai Wai
''The scene opens on the third night of the game, first showing a shot of the ocean in the night sky, followed by the teal blue Wai Wai tribe flag. The seven remaining members of the Wai Wai tribe now come onto the screen, returning to camp in silence following an emotional and explosive Tribal Council where Lacey was voted out. As the tribe leans their torches along the side of the shelter, the camera focuses on Jessica M., who's grinning from ear to ear.''

After Jessica M.'s confessional has finished, the salon owner is shown pulling Anu aside and talking to her quietly in a semi-private area of the camp.

Jessica M.: Listen, I just wanna say I can't thank you enough for telling me about that moronic move the tribe wanted to do tonight. I'm glad I was able to stir up enough chaos to prevent it from happening.

Anu (Crosses arms; smirks): No problem. What was that back at Tribal though? Did you actually try to tell me that I owe you?

Jessica M.: You kinda do in a way. I easily could've mentioned your name when Lacey begged to know who gave me the information I exposed this evening. Had I done that, you'd likely be in just as much s*** as Neville right now. I hope you take that as a sign I wanna work with you. Pat and I are free numbers waiting to be scooped up.

Anu (Shrugs): That was your choice. I'm just going to continue doing what's best for me out here.

Jessica M.: Well, the offer is there. You saved me tonight, and I promise you Pat and I would be loyal. We'd be much more reliable allies than a couple of boys that got intimidated by me for whatever God forsaken reason. Honestly, the fact they were intimidated to begin with tells me they're weak-willed, which proves right there that they're unreliable.

Anu: I'll consider it. We're three people in a tribe of seven, and that's still a minority. It doesn't matter how much crap Neville's in right now, I won't commit unless I know the numbers are there.

Jessica M.: Fair enough, I can respect that. We can discuss this later.

Anu: For sure, let's just get some sleep first.

''The scene now flashes back to earlier in the evening, before Tribal Council, showing two black and white conversations. The first being between Evander, Arthur, and Neville, who are talking quietly a short distance from the shelter.''

Evander: You guys have a minute?

Arthur: Sure Evander. What's on your mind?

Evander: I was doing a lot of thinking and... (sighs) I hate doing this right before Tribal, but right now, I'm really thinking that we're better off voting Pat. We need the challenge strength, and at the end of the day, I don't know if I trust him much more than I trust Jessica.

Neville (Shrugs): Well, we did assure you that you had the final say as the swing vote in the alliance. I'm okay with changing my vote to Pat as long as you can get to Anu and Whitney in time, and if they agree to change the plan too.

Arthur (Nods): Yeah, my man. I still believe Jessica's the biggest threat 'n' the better choice. But I'm committed to this alliance all the way. If Anu and Whitney are on board to vote Pat, I am too.

Evander (Smiling): Thanks, I really appreciate that you're so understanding about this.

We are now taken to the second black and white conversation as Evander is shown pulling Anu and Whitney aside.

Evander: I know this is super last minute, but if possible, I think we should vote Pat tonight.

Both Anu's and Whitney's eyes go wide as they shoot each other a confused glance before looking back at Evander.

Anu: Why? We're just about to start walking to Tribal.

Whitney: Do Neville and Arthur know?

Evander: I was just going a lot of thinking, and the more I think about it, the more it makes sense to me to keep Jessica for her challenge strength. I did talk to Neville and Arthur just now, and they said that if you two on board to vote Pat, then so are they.

Whitney (Shrugs): Okay. That's what I wanted anyway, so no argument from me.

Anu (Sighs): Yeah, I'm on board too. Thanks for telling us.

Evander: You're welcome.

As Evander walks away, the camera focuses on Anu, who has a frustrated expression on her face as the her confessional resumes.

''Once Anu's confessional is finished, Neville, Arthur, and Evander are shown on the beach chatting. They are each visibly confused and frustrated following the events of Tribal Council.''

Arthur: Seriously, what in the blue hell happened tonight?! Evander, I thought you told us plans changed! How'd Jessica catch wind she was supposed to go?!

Evander (Shakes head): Trust me, I'm just as confused as you are. Both Whitney and Anu told me they were on board to change the vote.

Neville: Well, at least one individual here had to have gone up to Jessica prior to the vote switching to Pat and informing her that she was supposed to leave. Jessica did say at Tribal Council that's what happened.

Evander (Nods): Yeah, and with her being stronger than Pat, I don't think she would've just assumed she was leaving, even if she felt she was in the minority.

Arthur (Shakes head, Sighs): I don't suppose either of you two would fess up to leaking that info to her... right Neville?

Neville: Arthur, I promise that it was not I that leaked that information to Jessica. I always intended to vote with our alliance.

Arthur (Matter-of-Factly): Then how come you were outed at Tribal for playing both sides?

Evander and Neville are both taken aback by Arthur's harsh tone.

Neville: Firstly, I never promised Jessica that I'd vote against Whitney! Furthermore, what logical basis would there be for me to tell Jessica that she's supposed to go home? We all witnessed at Tribal Council that she proceeded to use that very information to throw Lacey and myself under the proverbial bus.

Arthur (Shrugs): Well then, that leaves Anu and Whitney. My guess is that when you told Whitney she was getting votes, she took exception and ratted you out.

Evander (Sighs): Yeah, that would make sense to me.

Neville: I cannot fathom why Whitney would have done that, especially since from my observation, she did not appear upset or angry about getting votes, as long as she remained in the game.

Arthur: I guess Whitney's got a good poker face then. However, that still doesn't explain why Jessica thought you were with her before Tribal.

Neville: Arthur, I promise you that I never intended to side with Jessica. I only got lumped into that because of Lacey. Lacey made the promise to Jessica, not I.

Arthur: Why'd you even saddle up with Lacey, man? She wasn't in our five, so this being Lacey's move doesn't help your case any.

Neville: Lacey came to me and confessed she had a crush on me. I was intending to ask to bring her into our alliance as an extra number until Anu had mentioned she didn't trust Lacey.

Arthur (Annoyed): You couldn't say anything to us about that when Anu wasn't around?

Neville (Sighs): In hindsight, Arthur, I should have informed you about what was going on between myself and Lacey. I was under the impression that I could get away with keeping her on a need-to-know basis, and I was hopeful we would not attend more than two Tribal Councils before a tribe switch.

Neville (Crosses arms): What would've happened if we went to a third?

Neville: I would've allowed Lacey to be voted out. She was getting more emotional as the days went by, and I believed that our five was a more stable and cohesive group.

Arthur (Sighs): I wanna believe you, Neville. I truly do wanna believe you, especailly if Whitney was also double dealin'. (Shakes head) I just dunno if I should.

''Once Arthur's confessional has finished, we see that he has left the scene, though Evander and Neville remain. Neville turns to Evander with a troubled expression on his face.''

Neville: Do you believe my explanations, Evander?

Evander (Sighs, nods): I do, but that's because you told me about your relationship with Lacey beforehand. I'm sure you understand why other people are harder to convince.

Neville (Nods): I do. I thought I had everything figured out. I never anticipated all that happening at Tribal Council.

Evander: Neither did I. If this did have to do with Whitney getting offended by you telling her she's receiving votes, she's darn good at hiding it.

Neville: I agree, between her and Anu, one of them leaked our plans to Jessica that she was supposed to leave. I am just unsure of which one.

Evander: The good news for you is that I trust you've been honest with me. I think you were just caught in an awkward situation with Lacey. But since you weren't honest with everyone else about your connection to her, that's why they don't trust you right now.

Neville: I understand that I need to convince as many individuals on my tribe as possible that I am worthy of their trust, Evander. I will make every attempt to do better. I just can't believe how Lacey and Jessica lashed out at me. My intention with the vote was to put the two of us and Lacey in the best position game-wise, but somehow, I just could not get her to understand that. I'm confused as to how she could claim I don't care about her.

Evander (Sighs): She thought that because you didn't respond to her emotionally. Watching you two at Tribal, even though she was close with Jessica, you offered her no sympathy when she needed it. You simply told her how to vote, and left it at that.

Neville (Confused): Why would I need to do that? Is this not a game of "Outwit, Outplay, Outlast?" Strategic decisions are to be made logically, as opposed to emotionally.

Evander (Shrugs): That may be true, but she still needed you to respond to her emotionally to show that you at least understand how she's feeling and that you actually do care for her beyond the game.

Neville (Shrugs): I guess I'll take your word for it. You seem to understand this situation better than I.

Evander: This is a social game, Neville. Not just a strategic one. Keep that in mind if you want people to trust you.

Neville (Nods): Noted. Thank you for this conversation, Evander. It was quite enlightening.

''Upon the conclusion of Neville's confessional, he and Evander are shown returning to the main area of the camp and heading towards the shelter. A close-up of Whitney letting out a sigh as she sits in the shelter then comes onto the screen before fading into this season's intro.''



Day 4
Once the intro has finished, we return to the Wai Wai tribe on the morning of day 4. Alone in the shelter, Neville can be seen going through his bag, coming across an envelope with the words "OPEN IN PRIVATE" in bold bring across the front. A puzzled expression comes across Neville's face before he shrugs and makes his way out of the shelter, then walks to a private location to open his envelope. As soon as Neville opens the envelope and proceeds to pull out its contents, his jaw drops open and a look of panic comes across the medical student's face as the first thing he sees is his cast photo with the word "DISAPPROVE" stamped across it in red ink. Neville stares at the photo for a few moments, appearing as though he is frozen in shock. Then, as his hands shake, he slowly pulls out the note that had accompanied his stamped picture. Upon clearing his throat, Neville reads the note to himself.

Neville (Reading): If you are reading this, the most recently voted out castaway has expressed their disapproval of you, and selected you to receive a disadvantage in the game. At the next Tribal Council you attend, you will have an automatic penalty vote against you, which will count towards your elimination vote tally. It is up to you if you wish to share this information or keep it a secret until such time that the votes are read at your next Tribal Council. Good luck.

''Neville's hands continue to shake as he places his note and stamped picture back inside the envelope. The medical student stares into space with a deer-in-headlights expression on his face as the camera transitions to his confessional.''

''A brief transitional shot of a capybara in the bushes appears on the screen before showing Neville approaching Evander, who is alone on the beach, staring out past the ocean, into the horizon. After a moment, the locksmith seems to sense that someone is behind him and turns his head around, then flashes a warm smile in Neville's direction. Seeing the troubled smile on the medical student's face however, Evander's smile fades after a moment.''

Evander (Concerned): You okay, Neville?

Neville simply shrugs as he walks closer to Evander, who is now waving him over.

Evander: Come, sit. You look like you got something on your mind.

''Neville quietly sits next to Evander on the sand. The troubled expression does not leave the medical student's face, and we can almost visualize the gears turning inside his head as he tries to process what he wants to say to the locksmith, who now attempts to strike up a pleasant conversation.''

Evander: Isn't this view gorgeous out here? It's almost hard to believe we're in such an incredible spot when we're in the middle of all that strategizing. I find it so peaceful to just come out here, sit for a while, and clear my head.

Neville (Taken aback; quickly shakes head): Pardon me? Sorry, I didn't quite catch that.

Evander (Concerned): What's wrong, Neville? Something's obviously eating you up.

Neville (Raises an eyebrow): You can tell?

Evander (Giggles awkwardly): I'm a father, that's my job.

Neville: Well... you certainly meet the position's qualifications.

Evander: I did as soon as my oldest son was conceived, but that's not the point. You gonna answer me or not?

Neville hangs his head for a bit, then nods slowly.

Neville: Yeah... my apologies, Evander... I did come down here to ask something of you.

Evander: No problem at all, Neville. What's up?

Neville reaches into his pocket and pulls out the envelope containing the notice of his disadvantage and stamped photo.

Neville: I received this in my bag this morning. Lacey had the power to grant an individual a disadvantage after she was voted out... and she chose me.

Evander (Sighs; Shakes head): That sucks. Goes to show how hurt she must've been.

Neville (Nods): Yes... indeed it does.

Evander: If you don't mind me asking, what is this disadvantage, exactly?

Neville: I have a penalty vote against me that will come into effect at my next Tribal Council.

Evander: Damn, that really sucks.

Neville: I am cognizant of that, yes. That's why I intend for you to be the only individual that knows about this.

Evander (Nodding): Thank you for telling me. That is something I take very seriously, and I promise you that nobody else will know about this.

Neville: Thank you very much, Evander. I am so appreciative to hear you say that.

Evander: You're welcome.

Neville: If I may... there's one other thing I am curious to know from you.

Evander: What's that?

Neville: Prior to the inaugural immunity challenge, Jeff advised us that each eliminated castaway would be tasked with making two decisions. Evidently, one of those decisions was to give me a disadvantage, so... did you receive an advantage by any chance? You did really appear to know exactly how to converse with Lacey.

Evander (Shakes head): No, there was nothing like that in my bag this morning. (Shrugs) It's possible I guess that someone else also has a disadvantage. Lacey was extremely angry with Jessica too.

Neville (Nods): I suppose you're right, and I suggest we try and probe the others to see if they were gifted something today back at camp from Lacey. Obviously, we can't make our intentions known, but it would indeed be in our best interest to find out who else, if anyone, received something from Lacey, and if possible, what they received.

Evander (Nods slowly): Information is power.

Following Evander's confessional, the scene focuses on Neville as he walks back to camp with Evander behind him. As they return, there is now a fire in their fire pit, prompting Neville to place the envelope containing his stamped photo and disadvantage in the flame. The camera zooms in on Neville as he mutters the words "No other individual needs to find out I have this," which appears on the screen as subtitles. The camera then hones in on the burning envelope for a moment before the scene fades to black.

Orealla
The scene now opens at the Orealla camp on the morning of day 4, first showing a short of the beige tribe flag, followed by a shot of a jaguar prowling through the jungle. The scene then switches to the main area of the camp, where Irene is shown resting in the shelter by herself. Soon, Irene sits up and goes over to her bag to rummage through it. It is at this time that she is caught off guard by an envelope in her bag with the words "OPEN IN PRIVATE" on the front. The YouTube personality quickly throws on a pair of blue skinny jeans, shimmies out of the shelter, tucks the envelope in her back pocket, and straightens out her top so that the envelope is concealed. Irene then struts over to the tribe's fire pit where K.C. and Kelly-Ann are preparing breakfast.

Irene (Cheery): Good morning!

K.C.: Mornin'... finally up, are ya'?

Irene (Giggles): Well then, if you're going to have that attitude, I could go back to bed.

K.C.: Or you could find something to do to help out 'round here.

Irene (Smirks): Yeah, you did plenty of that when you hid the machete.

K.C. (Annoyed): For the last time...

Irene (Puts hand up, interrupting): I know, stop. The damn thing got found, I'm just bugging you.

K.C. rolls his eyes and turns his attention back to the fire pit as Kelly-Ann speaks up.

Kelly-Ann: Well, what do you want from us, Irene? Something tells me you're not here to ask what chores you can help with.

Irene (Scoffs): Ha! 'Course not! I'm just here to tell you both that I'm going to take a pee pee. If anyone asks where I am, that's what I'm doing.

K.C. and Kelly-Ann now shoot each other confused glares.

Kelly-Ann: Umm... okay. Have fun... I guess?

Irene (Giggles): Thanks darlin'!

Irene now prances away from the main camp area, leaving behind K.C. and Kelly-Ann, who both still appear by the situation.

K.C.: The heck was that about?

Kelly-Ann (Shrugs): Who knows? She's a strange one, that's for sure.

K.C. (Rolls eyes): Based on that Cheshire Cat grin she had, I think she found an advantage or an idol clue or something. Nobody's that happy when they announce they're gonna take a piss.

Kelly-Ann: Most don't even announce it period, but you're right. Knowing Irene though, literally all she's trying to do is stir up crap and make people paranoid just because she can. There's no other reason for her to bring up the machete incident.

Following Kelly-Ann's confessional, Irene is shown deep in the jungle, looking over her shoulder briefly as she pulls her envelope out of her back pocket. As soon as she opens the envelope and removes its contents, she begins smiling and laughing as the first thing she sees is her cast photo with the word "APPROVE" stamped across it in green ink. The grin on Irene's face only grows bigger as she begins to read the accompanying note.

Irene (Reading): Congratulations, if you are reading this, the most recently voted out castaway has expressed their approval of you, and selected you to receive an advantage in the game. You have been awarded a vote blocker, which allows you to prevent one castaway from voting at any Tribal Council of your choosing. This advantage will expire after the final five Tribal Council and is non-transferable. It is up to you if you wish to keep this information a secret until such time you choose to play it. Good luck.

As she finishes reading the note, Irene can't help but giggle uncontrollably to herself as she places the note and her picture back in the envelope.

Irene: Wow... I can't believe I have fans out here. Not everyday you get an advantage just for existing.

Irene now proceeds to do a short happy dance as the camera transitions to her confessional.

Once Irene's confessional has finished a transitional shot of a tarantula crawling up the side of a tree comes onto the screen before the main camp area comes back into view. This time, the tribe are just finishing up eating breakfast as they make casual conversation with each other. Billy, Geoff, and Sheila are having their own light-hearted conversation, which involves the three of them talking and laughing as they share silly stories about their home life. Irene, Ella, and Kelly-Ann are clustered closer together, as Irene talks the Montserrat returnees' ears off, and Frank and K.C. are eating their rice in relative silence. After a few moments, once Billy has finished eating his rice, he puts down his half-coconut shell and talks over the entire group, getting the entire tribe's attention.

Billy: 'Kay dudes, I dunno about y'all, but does anyone like, wanna do somethin'? As a tribe?

Frank (Rolls eyes): How about clean the place up after breakfast?

Billy (Cheeky): Sure Dad, we can do that in a bit.

This response earns laughter from Kelly-Ann, Geoff, Sheila, and Irene, with Billy himself giggling a bit as Frank rolls his eyes again while muttering "I'm not your father" under his breath.

Billy: I mean, like, some kinda game, or activity, or somethin'? We do a lotta sittin' around out here, dudes. Wouldn't it be nice to do somethin' that bonds us together as a tribe? We can even win more challenges if we're a united Survivor family, right?

K.C., Frank, and Irene each appear visibly unimpressed upon hearing those last few words, while in contrast, Ella, Geoff, and Sheila appear excited by what Billy is proposing.

Sheila: So, what are you suggesting?

Billy: I dunno, dudes. I was hopin' you guys could come up with that. (Chuckles)

Geoff: Well, when my family gets together, we do tend to play pictionary or charades fairly often. Since we don't have a big sheet of paper or a white board to draw something in front of the tribe with, we could still do charades if you want.

K.C. (Scrunches his face): You got young kids though, so that makes sense.

Geoff (Shrugs): Eleven and seven, though Emma's eighth birthday is this October. Not quite teenagers yet, but they're not that young.

K.C.: Still the perfect age group for something like this.

Sheila: Oh, come on guys, this could be fun! How do we wanna divide up the teams? Old vs Young?

Kelly-Ann: I'd be down for that 'cause that means I'm on the young team. I hate getting older some days.

Sheila (Shakes head): Girl, you're only 34. Just wait until you hit 50, then we can talk.

Irene (Butting in): Let's just do guys vs girls. I'm not teaming with Billy.

Billy: C'mon, dude! I ain't bad at charades!

Frank (Taken aback): Wait, we're actually doing this?

Sheila: You don't have to if you're content with being a bum that isolates himself from the tribe, but I somehow don't think that would be a good strategic decision for you.

''Frank simply rolls his eyes at this, while K.C. shrugs, neither of them saying a word as Sheila stands up and walks over to sit next to Kelly-Ann, effectively putting four guys and four girls on each side of the semi-circle. As she takes her seat, the camera can be seen focusing on Billy as he grins widely.''


 * The returning players agree to play until one team scores 5 points.
 * As there is no way to record and draw actions to mimic, they will just pick something from the top of their heads.
 * With there being no way to accurately keep track of time, they agree each team member gets one guess before the other team gets a chance to steal.

Kelly-Ann volunteers to go first to get her turn out of the way. The entomologist mimics holding something in front of her chest before bringing her right arm back, crouching down slightly, and launching her right arm forward, releasing what she was pretending to hold.


 * Irene instantly yells out "Smacking an ass!"
 * This generates laughter from much of the tribe, except notably Frank, and K.C.
 * Kelly-Ann takes a moment to stop herself from laughing and refocus, simply repeating her original motion.
 * Sheila then yells out "Bowling!"
 * This was the correct guess, bringing the score to 1-0

Billy takes his turn, strutting up to face the tribe as he pretends to be holding something, which he places on an invisible table in front of him. Billy then mimics removing the lid off of a container of some sort, and setting it down. Billy then mimics the motion of removing stuff from the container, looking at it, then revealing it to the tribe.


 * Seeing the way Billy is waving his hands over the container, Geoff says "You're a witch making a potion."
 * Billy shakes his head "No," and thinks for a moment. He then repeats the motion of removing something from the container, looking at it, then revealing it to the tribe, only this time, he adds sticking up an index finger afterwards to indicate the number 1.
 * Visibly confused, K.C. guesses "Fortune Teller?"
 * Billy hangs his head and mimics snuffing a torch.
 * At this point, Sheila, Ella, and Geoff seem to get what Billy was trying to do, with Geoff trying to prompt Frank to say it.
 * Frank then rolls his eyes and says "So you're pretending to be Probst or something? Is that what that was?"
 * Billy now gets excited and pumps his fist, going on to explain that he was reading the votes, then snuffing a torch.
 * The score is now 1-1

Ella now makes her way in front of the tribe. She thinks for a moment before lifting both her arms up to one side of her head and moving each of her fingers up and down. At the same time, Ella puckers her lips and mimics the motion of blowing into something.


 * Irene quickly shakes her head, quietly saying to herself "She's not sucking dick..." which is displayed on the screen as subtitles.
 * Getting a little impatient, Ella tries to bop up and down as if she's moving in tune with music.
 * Still confused, Irene chooses to speak up anyway, guessing "Weird, awkward kissing?"
 * Ella shakes her head "No" quickly, and moves her fingers at a faster pace, attempting to draw her team's attention there.
 * Sheila picks up on this, guessing "Playing a flute," which was the correct answer, bringing the score to 2-1.

K.C. now steps out in front of the tribe and appears to sit on an invisible chair. He then grabs onto something in front of him with both hands and leans forward. He then takes his right foot and appears to step on something in front of him.
 * Noticing a look of intensity on K.C.'s face, Billy yells out "You're taking a s***!"
 * Most of the tribe start laughing at this guess, including K.C., while Frank visibly cringes.
 * K.C. attempts to continue with his original motion, but adds pretending to honk a car horn a couple of times.
 * Geoff then guesses "Rush-hour traffic," which also turns out to be wrong, surprising most of the tribe.
 * K.C. leans forward a little further and steps on the ground a couple more times. He then takes one finger and spins it above his head.
 * Each of the men are looking directly at Frank, urging him to guess something. Frank simply shrugs and guesses "Racing a horse?"
 * This also turns out to be wrong, giving the women a chance to steal.
 * The women appear just as confused as the men. Not having any clue, Irene blurts out "You got diarrhea and you're stuck on the toilet?"
 * Frank and Sheila visibly cringe at Irene's answer, prompting K.C. to explain that he was trying to mimic a High-Speed Police Chase, and spinning his finger above his head was supposed to be his cruiser's flashing lights.
 * Most of the tribe now seem to understand what K.C was trying to go for, though Kelly-Ann pipes up that as he said "No" to rush-hour traffic, she thought it had nothing to do with a car.
 * The score remains 2-1.

As K.C. sits back down, Billy pats him on the back for at least confusing the women enough that they couldn't steal, which gets K.C. chuckling a little bit as the camera switches to his confessional.

After K.C.'s confessional, we return to the charades game where Irene can now be seen walking to the designated spot in front of the tribe.


 * Irene sits on the ground and lifts one leg up in the air. Finding that she cannot keep her leg up in the air for long, she lets it fall back down, but keeps her legs separated. Irene then proceeds to crouch over and mimic licking her crotch area, surprising the tribe.
 * Though most of the tribe cringes and reacts with laughter, Frank shakes his head and appears incredibly disgusted by what he is seeing.
 * Sheila takes this time to yell out to Irene "This is a family show!"
 * Upon hearing what Sheila had said, Irene lifts her head up to face the tribe, licks her lips, then resumes pretending to lick her crotch area.
 * Between giggles, Ella yells out "You're a cat licking its balls."
 * Irene leaps up and cheers, congratulating Ella on getting it right so she could stop, admitting that she was getting uncomfortable in that position.
 * The score is now 3-1.

Geoff now stands in front of the tribe to take his turn. He takes two hands and proceeds to launch something forward.


 * K.C. guesses "Swinging a sledgehammer," prompting Geoff to shake his head "No."
 * Geoff now holds one hand in front of him, and moves his other hand in a circling motion in front of him. He then leans back and pulls his hands toward him, moving the hand that's going in a circular motion faster.
 * Billy guesses "Having a stroke?"
 * This generates laughter from Geoff, Sheila, and Irene.
 * Geoff again shakes his head "No" and mimics the motion of throwing something out in front of him with both hands again. He then repeats the motion of leaning back as he holds onto something, while moving the other hand in a circular motion.
 * This prompts Frank to say "Fishing," which is the correct answer, bringing the score to 3-2.

Being the last remaining woman to have not taken her turn, Sheila steps out in front of the tribe and lays down on her back. She then suddenly jerks her arms and legs upward every so often.


 * Confused, Irene guesses "Having a seizure?"
 * Sheila repeats the motion of jerking her arms and legs up every so often, but gets faster each time.
 * Ella now guesses "Being electrocuted," which is also wrong.
 * Sheila now proceeds to sit up as she continues to jerk upwards her arms and legs, then her head forward. Soon, she is standing upright and quickly jumping up and down over and over again.
 * At this time, Kelly-Ann has an "Ah ha!" moment as she excitedly yells out "Popping popcorn!"
 * This is the correct answer, bringing the score to 4-2.

It is now Frank's turn to step up in front of the tribe. The real estate agent initially tries to pass his turn off to someone else, but with much encouragement, he eventually gets up in front of them, though he is grumbling as he does so. Frank then puts two fists in front of and pretends to be holding something which he moves back and forth in front of him.


 * Frank makes this motion for a few moments, then proceeds to mimic picking up something flat that is in front of him and tossing it up and down with both hands.
 * This prompts Billy to guess "Making pizza," which is correct.
 * Frank instantly sits back down as Billy praises him for being so good at the game, though Frank visibly ignores the early childhood educator.
 * The score is now 4-3.

As everybody has now taken a turn, but no team has reached five, the women discuss among themselves who should go up next. Sheila then decides that it should be her, and she steps out in front of the tribe.


 * Sheila then sits on the ground with her legs out to each side. Her hands are also out to either side and she mimics pushing herself forward. Sheila then slowly stands up, slowly moving her hips from side to side as her arms are stretched out wide and her feet are apart. Once she gets to the position she's going for, her knees remain bent slightly, and she continues moving her hips from side to side as it appears she is trying to balance on something.
 * Confused, Irene guesses "Drunk twerking?"
 * This guess earns laughter from the other women, as well as Billy, though Sheila does shake her head "No"
 * Sheila keeps her arms out wide and her knees bent as she slowly moves up and down while encouraging guesses from Kelly-Ann and Ella.
 * Kelly-Ann then shrugs and asks "Surfing?"
 * This turns out to be the correct answer as Sheila cheers and congratulates the entomologist.
 * As the score is 5-3, the women have won the game.

''The game now over, each of the castaways have gathered together, most of them talking and laughing with each other. The camera soon focuses on Frank, who has his hands on his hips and a scowl on his face as the scene switches to his confessional.''

''After Frank's confessional, the scene returns to the main camp area, and hones in on a conversation between Sheila, Kelly-Ann, and Irene as the three women laugh. The camera then zooms in on Sheila's face and soon switches to the Stay-at-Home Mom's confessional.''

''The scene then returns to the tribe as they continue chatting near the shelter, with the camera honing in on Frank. The real estate agent now proceeds to separate himself from the tribe and start walking towards the beach as the camera fades to black.''

Reward Challenge
Jeff Probst: Come on in, guys!

''We then see the Orealla and Ingarikó tribes entering the challenge arena with K.C. and Elvis carrying their respective tribe's flag. As the two tribes assemble on their coloured mat, the camera transitions to show the Wai Wai tribe entering the challenge arena as Anu carries the tribe flag.''

Jeff Probst: Ingarikó, Orealla get your first look at the new Wai Wai tribe... Lacey voted out at the first Tribal Council.

''None of the other castaways appear to have a particularly strong reaction to this, many of them nodding slightly. Once Anu places the tribe flag in its holder, Jeff proceeds to address the castaways.''

Jeff Probst: Are you guys ready to get to today's reward challenge?

Castaways: YES!

Jeff then goes on to explain the reward challenge, which is dubbed Ball-istic Missiles, and that the winning tribe would receive a large fishing kit and net, which gets each of the castaways excited. Probst then adds that the second place tribe would only receive a fishing line and bait, while the final tribe receives nothing. Once Jeff finishes explaining everything, he turns to the Ingarikó and Orealla tribes.

Jeff Probst: Ingarikó, Orealla, you guys each have one extra member, so you will have to sit somebody out. Keep in mind, since people can't sit out in back-to-back challenges, whoever sits out tonight must compete in the next immunity challenge.

Ella (Raising her hand): I'll sit this one out.

Jeff Probst: Ella's sitting out for Orealla. Ingarikó, who's it going to be?

''The Ingarikó tribe are shown huddling together having a tense discussion. This huddle is soon broken however, as a decision has been reached.''

Bernadette: Guess it's me sitting out, Jeffrey.

Jeff Probst: Alright Ella, Bernadette, each of you can take a spot on the sit out bench. I'll give you all a minute to strategize, then we'll get started.

After a time skip, the castaways are shown in position ready to being the challenge.

Jeff Probst: Alright, here we go! For reward in the form of fishing gear and a net! Survivors ready... GO!!


 * Kye and Sal work the most efficiently together in knocking down the sandbags with their poles, giving Ingarikó the early lead in the challenge as Bernadette loudly cheers them on from the sit-out bench.
 * Geoff and K.C. work very poorly together to knock down the sandbags from the overhanging net, often getting in each other's way.
 * By the time Orealla has knocked all of their sandbags down, Ingarikó has finished untying their slingshot and has started setting it up, while Wai Wai is in the middle of untying their slingshot.
 * Though Ingarikó is the first to have their slingshot set up, they are slow at landing the sandbags in their nets.
 * Sal was the only member from Ingarikó to land a sandbag on their first shot.
 * Luckily for Ingarikó, the Wai Wai tribe did not fare much better, also having difficulty landing sandbags in the nets at first.
 * After a few moments, the Ingarikó and Orealla tribes seem to have found a rhythm when it comes to successfully using the slingshot to land the sandbags in the nets.
 * For Ingarikó, Kye and Jessica B. specifically each go on a roll. The former lands six consecutive shots, while the latter makes five.
 * Wai Wai quickly starts falling behind with shooting their sandbags.
 * Though Jessica M., and Arthur soon get the hang of it, Pat and Whitney each take a while to even land one sandbag for their tribe.
 * Orealla starts off the sandbag portion of the challenge strong, with Billy, K.C., and Kelly-Ann each landing sandbags on their first shots.
 * The longer the challenge goes, the more consistent Ingarikó as a whole gets with landing their sandbags in their nets, and they soon become the first tribe to land enough sandbags to raise their flag.

Jeff Probst: That does it! Ingarikó wins reward! We're looking for one more!


 * Around this time, the Wai Wai tribe seem to finally get the hang of the challenge, as Whitney and Pat are even shown completing shots.
 * As Orealla had been consistently making their shots however, it is too little, too late as the beige flag soon raises, ending the challenge.

Jeff Probst: Orealla wins reward!

''The camera now shows the Ingarikó and Orealla tribes each celebrating their respective wins, while the Wai Wai tribe hang their heads in defeat. The camera focuses on Pat, who appears especially guilty before a time-skip takes us to Jeff addressing each of the castaways.''

Jeff Probst: Ingarikó, congratulations. This fishing kit is yours to take back to camp. You have a net, bait, fishing line, a spear, everything you could possibly need to catch fish and get yourselves some much needed nourishment. Grab your stuff, come get your reward, and head on back to camp. I'll see you at your next immunity challenge.

''The members of the Ingarikó tribe begin to clap as they follow Probst's instructions. Elvis and Kye are then shown picking up the crates and taking the larger reward away. Once Ingarikó is gone, the Probst turns to the returning players.''

Jeff Probst: Orealla, good showing tonight. It's not a win, but you still walk away with fishing line and bait. Some patience and a little bit of luck will do the trick with this. Grab your stuff, come get your reward, and head on out.

Once the returning players have done as Jeff instructed, the host turns to Wai Wai.

Jeff Probst: Wai Wai, for the second time, you have finished in last place, and once again, I've got nothing for you. Grab your stuff, head back to camp. I'll see you at your next immunity challenge.

As the Wai Wai tribe pick up their stuff and begin the walk back towards camp, the camera focuses on the disappointed expressions of Arthur, Pat, Anu, and finally Jessica M. The view soon zooms in on the salon owner and switches to her confessional.

Once Jessica M.'s confessional is complete, the shot of her walking back to camp with her tribe returns to the screen before the scene fades to black.

Ingariko
''Jovial music begins to play as the Ingarikó tribe returns to camp, still celebrating their challenge win. Bernadette in particular is loudly clapping and cheering as Kye, Elvis, and Aleigha set their fishing supplis down near the shelter.''

Bernadette: We were amazing out there today, people! Let's keep kicking butt and winning more stuff!

''A few people giggle as Bernadette kicks the air in front of her and stands in a fighting stance. However, Jessica B. has her arms crossed and a scowl on her face and takes this opportunity to speak up.''

Jessica B. (Annoyed): We?! (Scoffs) Says the woman who sat out of the challenge.

Having been caught off guard by this comment, Bernadette stands straight up and glares in Jessica B.'s direction.

Bernadette: I meant we as a tribe, Jessie.

Jessica B.: Jess-ica.

Bernadette: Whatever. Point is, Ingarikó won the challenge, thanks largely to Kye.

''Kye jerks his head back, visibly surprised to be named. He then begins to blush as Bernadette continues.''

Bernadette (Smiling): You keep doing a great job in those challenges young man. I for one am very proud to have someone like you with us 'cause you certainly bring so much to this tribe.

Kye (Awkwardly): Uhhh... thanks... Bernadette.

Bernadette: You are most certainly welcome, young man.

A troubled expression comes across Kye's face as the personal trainer turns his head towards Aleigha, who sees this and speaks up.

Aleigha: I think we all did a great job in the challenge, and I hope we continue to win, as a tribe. No one person really out-did anyone else.

Bernadette (Butting in): Except Kye, he was a beast out there.

Kye (Awkwardly): Thanks Bernadette. I... I think they get the point.

Bernadette: I'm just trying to make sure you feel appreciated by me and by this tribe because you deserve it, especially since you did do exceptionally well in the challenge.

Aleigha (Annoyed): Let's just celebrate as a tribe, okay? We won the reward, so let's put it to use.

Bernadette (Giggling): Alright then, for the record, you did a great job out there too, Aleigha.

Aleigha now jerks her head back in surprise and shoots Bernadette a confused glare.

Bernadette (Continuing): You are also a valuable asset to the tribe.

''Visibly frustrated, Aleigha just shakes her head for a moment before throwing her hands in the air and walking away from the group, with Kye soon following her. The rest of the tribe, especially Bernadette, do not seem to know what to make of this as the camera focuses on the hairstylist and fitness instructor and cuts to her confessional.''

From Bernadette's confessional, the scene cuts to a few of the castaways going through the crate of fishing supplies that came with their reward. Elvis and Sal can be seen near the shelter soon starting to head towards the beach while Elvis holds the flippers and goggles, while Sal is holding their fishing spear. Charmer, who is already down on the beach, is unraveling the fishing net down on the beach. The camera then focuses on Jessica B. as continues searching through the crate. After a few moments, she appears frustrated and quits searching, standing up and walking towards the shelter as the scene switches to her confessional.

The scene then switches to the beach, where Charmer is continuing to untangle the tribe's fishing net that they had won. As she does, to her surprise, a rolled-up piece of parchment appears as she does this. Without hesitation, Charmer quickly grabs the parchment and stuffs it in her bra, taking the time to push up her boobs after she makes sure it is secure. Charmer then looks over her shoulder and sees Elvis and Sal arriving with their supplies and waves them over as the camera switches back to her confessional.

''After Charmer's confessional, the scene switches to a brief shot of a harpy eagle flying overhead before showing Kye and Aleigha walking through the jungle. Kye has a nervous expression on his face, while Aleigha is downright angry.''

Aleigha: Ugh! That woman [Bernadette] just does not stop, does she? Absolutely no grasp of f***ing social cues!

Kye: Yeah... it does seem like that.

Aleigha: Where the f*** did she get that me saying this was a tribe effort was the same as asking to be praised?! I also can't f***ing stand that she seems so insistent on singling you out every time she gets the f***ing chance!

Kye (Nodding): I know. (Sighs) I'm going to have to talk to Bernadette about this. I just don't want to be the centre of drama.

Aleigha: You shouldn't have to be! She needs to cut this s*** out and shut the f*** up every once in a while!

Kye: Yeah, you're right. (Short pause) I hope you know I really appreciate you standing up for me, or at least trying to. Just please, promise me you won't start a fight with her over this.

Aleigha (Shrugs): I won't start a fight with Bernadette. I'll just vote her fat ass out!

Kye: How about I talk to her first? Maybe she's well intentioned and just doesn't realize how she's coming off. Besides, for all we know, this might not even have to do with my gender identity.

Aleigha (Fired up): Oh please, Kye! Take off those f***ing rose-tinted glasses you're wearing!

Kye lets out a sad sigh as Aleigha continues ranting.

Aleigha: Ever since we got on the damn beach and you let people know you're trans, Bernadette takes the time to single you out whenever she gets the f***ing chance, and she was the only one to make a big deal about who you are! It's constant with her s***! Besides, don't you remember? She's the one targeting you and Pedro 'cause she think's you'll get sympathy votes!

Kye: We don't know that for sure.

Aleigha (Butting in): It seems pretty f***ing likely to be true right about now! Doesn't it?! Like honestly, I'd be more skeptical if she wasn't going out of her damn way to single you out in front of the whole f***ing tribe and draw all this attention to you because of nothing more than who you are!

Kye: I appreciate that you're passionate about this. (Sighs) Thank you.

Aleigha (Sternly): Kye, I really, really care about you. I think you are f***ing wonderful. You have such a big heart, and you deserve the chance to play how you want to play. Bernadette does nothing for the tribe, and since there is such a huge chance she is actively trying to take that away from you, I just can't let that happen. Bernadette needs to be the first one off this tribe! Bottom line!

Aleigha (Sighs heavily): I'm sorry I'm being such a bitch about this, Kye. I don't mean to make you feel awkward, or scare you into thinking I'm going to start drama. It just hurts me to see that woman making you feel so uncomfortable over something you have no control over.

Kye (Chuckles awkwardly): Trust me Aleigha, I got no ill will towards you. I know your heart is in the right place.

Aleigha: It's just that, I can relate so much to what you're feeling because it's happened to me.

Kye (Sympathetic): I'm sorry to hear that.

Aleigha: When I came out as bisexual about a decade ago, it was the same kind of thing. Even though the vast majority of my family and friends were, and still are, supportive of me, I was no longer Aleigha Cabanaz. I became Aleigha: The Bisexual One. Every f***ing social gathering, I'd feel singled out and questioned about my sexuality. Everything from when I realized I'm bi to my enjoyment of threesomes, or whatever. I was made to feel just so f***ing different from everyone else, and it drove me up a f***ing wall after a while!

Kye: Yeah, that would bug me to no end.

Aleigha: That went on for a few months. As much as it sucked though, once the novelty of me coming out wore off, I was a normal person again. That was about a decade ago, as I said, so it's water under the f***ing bridge at this point. But that still doesn't change what happened and how I was made to feel at that time.

Kye (Nodding): I totally agree, and that's what I'm trying to accomplish being out here. I don't want me or my gender identity to be seen as any sort of novelty.

Aleigha (Passionately): Nor should you be made to feel like one! Also like, the difference between what happened with me and what's happening with you now is that there wasn't a million f***ing dollars on the line when I came out! Besides, not only is that woman singling you out clearly making you uncomfortable, but by continuing to do that, she's placing a target on your back! Let's pretend for a second that Jessica B. is lying about the sympathy vote s***, which I doubt, Bernadette's still putting your name at the forefront of people's minds. You're saying you don't want to be the centre of drama, and if it is your goal to fly under the radar a bit, she's not letting you do that!

Kye: But this is why I want to talk to Bernadette. Maybe she just doesn't realize what she's doing. If she truly is supportive, she'll stop if I tell her it's bothering me.

Aleigha (Rolls eyes; Snarls): You're not exactly hiding how you feel. If you're trying to, your poker face is s***.

Kye (Chuckling): Damn, I was wondering why I've always lost at poker! Thanks Aleigha!

Upon hearing Kye's light-hearted comment, Aleigha can't help but crack a smile and start snickering to herself.

Kye: Seriously though, I really do appreciate your concern, and you telling me your story. I just... hope that this is a lot more innocent than it seems right now, and that a conversation with Bernadette will fix things. I just want you to give me that chance before doing something drastic.

Aleigha takes a deep breath and lets out a long exhale before responding.

Aleigha: I guess that's the least I can do. (Shakes head) I still don't think this s*** should have to be explained to her 'cause you're obviously uncomfortable being singled out. But if you want to talk to her, go ahead. I just have a bad feeling about this.

Kye: Thank you, Aleigha.

''Once Kye's confessional is finished, a shot of Bernadette and Elvis laying down in the shelter, talking and laughing with each other, comes onto the screen. After a moment, Kye is shown coming into view and approaching the two of them. As soon as the personal trainer reaches the edge of the shelter and there is a slight break in the conversation, Kye takes the opportunity to speak up.''

Kye: Hey, Bernadette? Sorry to interrupt.

Bernadette and Elvis pause their conversation and turn their attention to Kye.

Berndatte: No need to apologize, young man. I always have time for you. What's up?

Kye: Would you mind if we chatted privately for a sec? It's kinda important... sorry Elvis.

Elvis (Giggles): No harm done, Kye. Besides, this hag here is starting to irritate me anyway.

Bernadette (Stunned): Who you calling "hag"?!

Elvis (Sassy): Ya' know, Bernie! There's two dudes and a hag in this vicinity. Figure it out!

''Kye starts laughing as Bernadette raises her hand, pretending she is about to slap Elvis, who ducks out of the way. Bernadette then rolls her eyes and turns her attention back to Kye.''

Bernadette (Sassy): Let's get outta here, young man. He's such an ass****, isn't he?

Elvis: Ummm... I can hear you. I ain't deaf.

Bernadette: No s***, Sherlock.

''Elvis proceeds to roll his eyes as Bernadette exits the shelter and begins heading towards the jungle with Kye. A brief shot of a jaguar prowling through the bushes then comes onto the screen before the scene switches to show Bernadette and Kye again, this time walking through the jungle.''

Kye: I just want to start off by saying that I do really appreciate your efforts to make me feel welcome on this tribe.

Bernadette (Smiling): Not a problem at all, young man! That is my goal after all. The last thing you need are transphobes ruining your experience out here.

Kye: Yeah, I figured that was your goal. It's just that... (sighs) although I do trust that your heart is in the right place...

Bernadette's smile now fades and she suddenly appears nervous.

Bernadette: What's wrong?

Kye (Sighs): I'd rather if you didn't go out of your way to single me out in front of the tribe, after challenges and stuff.

Bernadette (Very confused): What do you mean?

Kye: Like, just today when you took the time to praise me for doing well...

Bernadette (Interrupting): I'm not allowed to praise you?!

Kye (Awkwardly): Please Bernadette... can you let me finish?

Bernadette lets out a frustrated sigh and crosses her arms.

Kye: Or during introductions when you gave me that hug and special applause. It was a sweet gesture, and as I said, I do believe your heart is in the right place, don't get me wrong. But I feel uncomfortable being singled out and put on the spot like that. It makes me feel like you're doing that stuff simply because I'm transgender.

Bernadette: So praising you for being brave enough to come out here, and also for being a valuable asset to the tribe is transphobic?

Kye's eyes go wide and he puts a hand over his mouth, rendered speechless by Bernadette's response.

Bernadette: Well?

Kye (Awkwardly): N... no, that's not at all what I'm saying!

Bernadette: I'm trying my very best to make sure the real transphobes that could be out here don't get to you, but clearly my efforts aren't helping.

Kye: Bernadette... I just don't want to be singled out. I know you don't realize it, but it feels like you're treating me differently from everyone else because I'm transgender, and when you single me out like that, I almost feel othered.

Bernadette: I thought your goal being out here was to spread awareness and give a voice to the transgender community.

Kye: I do!

Bernadette: I was just trying to show to you, and everyone else, that you are accepted here and shouldn't be ashamed of who you are. I thought that would help you along in accomplishing this goal.

Kye: As I said, that part I appreciate.

Bernadette: Then what's the problem?

Kye: I just want to play the game like everyone else! I want to show that transgender people are no different than everyone else... that we are still normal people.

Bernadette: So what exactly is the problem with me praising you?

Kye: I don't have a problem with compliments. I just don't like being singled out, especially when everyone did their part, like in this past challenge. I know what you're trying to do, but to me, that's counter-productive since I'm still being put on the spot primarily because of my gender identity. So in singling me out like that, you're giving me special treatment, and in essence, treating me different from everyone else because I'm transgender.

Bernadette (Matter-of-Factly): Okay then, I'll stop. Thanks for telling me.

Kye (Nods): You're welcome.

Bernadette: I get it. I'm sorry for offending you, 'cause I promise that's the last thing I wanted to do. I don't need people thinking I'm transphobic.

Kye: As I said, I believe your intentions were good, so that's why I'm telling you this in private. I never once thought you were transphobic.

Bernadette: But apparently it came off that way. (Sighs) I always try my best not to offend anyone, but I guess that's more difficult than I thought nowadays. (Shakes head) Now I feel guilty.

Bernadette: Just... one more question. Would I be allowed to praise you during a jury speech and give you my jury vote for all your hard work and all you've accomplished?

Kye (Sighs): As long as you praise my game. If I win this game, I want to win based on merit, and merit alone.

Bernadette: Okay, I understand. Thanks Kye.

Kye (Nods): You're welcome.

''Following Kye's confessional, he is then shown returning to camp from the jungle alone. Kye then approaches the fire pit and places a log on the fire, then sits down and stares into the flame. The personal trainer appears deep in thought as the camera zooms in on his face.''

''After Kye's confessional, the camera shows Bernadette climbing back in the shelter to lay down next to Elvis. Once the two greet each other warmly and begin to make conversation, the camera fades out.''

Wai Wai
''The scene now opens on the fifth day of the game, first showing the teal-blue Wai Wai tribe flag before a transitional shot of a giant river otter looking around on the shore near a river. The scene then switches to show Pat and Whitney talking as they gather firewood.''

Pat: What do you like to do in your spare time, Whitney?

Whitney (Shrugs): I do like to take walks and immerse myself in nature whenever I get the chance. Beyond that, I just enjoy spending time with friends, or even just my fiancé and his daughter.

Pat (Curious): His daughter?

Whitney (Nods): Mmm hmm. Zack had his daughter, Sienna, with another woman. We met about a year after they split, and we've been together officially for about three years now.

Pat: Interesting! How old's Sienna?

Whitney: She's 12. We actually get along pretty well, but I think that's because I never try or pretend to be anything resembling a mother to her. Sienna's still with her mom about 50% of the time, and the last thing I want to do is make Sienna feel like I want to replace her in any way. I make it known to Sienna that I care for her as though she was my own, but I guess in more of a "Big Sister" kind of way. Even when Zack and I do get married, I won't want the title of "Step-Mom." I'll still be Whitney to her.

Pat: That is very sweet of you.

Whitney: Sienna is close with both her parents, and I think it was hard on her when they split, because she was about seven at the time, I think. I remember Sienna's mother not being happy with Zack when I entered the picture either. I don't want to get into details, especially because I think her mother is just really protective. I always tried my best to stay out of their business because I know their past relationship and custody arrangements with Sienna have nothing to do with me, nor should they.

Pat: That's really admirable of you. I don't even wanna think 'bout how it would affect my children if my wife and I split, never mind if I found another partner or vice versa, 'cause like you said 'bout Sienna, my children are close with both of us as well.

Whitney (Nodding): You hear horror stories about the (finger quotes) "other woman" muddying the waters in cases like this, and I've vowed to never do that. I'll admit I told her off once over the phone because it seemed like she was trying to make Zack feel guilty for finding Sienna (finger quotes) "another mom." She was just making it harder on him emotionally, but I told her that Zack deserves to find someone else just as much as she does. I made it known that I'm Zack's partner and that I will never try to replace her or pretend to resemble a mother figure for Sienna, because Sienna deserves meaningful relationships with both her parents, who both deserve to move forward with their own lives.

Pat: How'd that turn out?

Whitney (Shrugs): As good as you could expect, I guess. I've barely seen or spoken to her since then, but I don't really care. I'm not afraid to spend one-on-one time with Sienna, and she enjoys going on nature walks with me, but we never talk about her mother. Their relationship is their business, not mine. Besides, it's more fun being a big sister.

Pat: I love that! Makes me happy to hear things are working out.

Whitney: So, how about you? Tell me about your family.

Pat: Well, I've been married to my wife, Arlene, for 24 years. I've got a 17-year-old daughter named Bella, short for Isabella, and a 15-year-old son named Trevor. We're a pretty close family, all things considered. Bella wants to start driving trains like her old man, and Trevor wants to be a cop.

Whitney (Excited): Good for them, that's so awesome! Must've warmed your heart to hear your daughter wants to follow in your footsteps.

Pat (Smiling): It really does, ya' know. I've been doin' this job for so long, but we've bonded on trains since she was a little girl. I think I credit her for keeping my passion for this job so strong 'cause seeing Bella get more excited 'bout this only gets me more excited. We've been building and playing with model train sets together since she was really little, and yeah, her interest has only grown from there.

Whitney: It's so nice to see that you've found something that brings you together like that. What about Trevor? What does he like to do?

Pat: Trevor is really smart, funny, and outgoing. I'd say he's taken after his father in almost every way... 'cept the trains and the 'stache.

Whitney and Pat share a short chuckle.

Pat: I enjoy playin' pool with Trevor, mostly. That's our thing anyway... along with makin' the best God damn nachos on the planet! (Laughs) I taught him my secret recipe, and now he enjoys making them and serving them to his friends.

Whitney (Impressed): Wow! So both your children are following in your footsteps in a way. Bella with trains, and Trevor with nachos.

Pat (Laughs): Yup! You can certainly say that! (Shrugs) Even if they changed their minds at some point though, that's fine with me. As a father, it's my job to guide 'em, but I want 'em to be happy and establish their own identities. When I was a teenager and a young man, my parents tried so hard to convince me to go to law school 'cause I had the grades and I could make more money. But trains were my passion, so I stuck with it. As a young man, it was not a good feeling to know you were disappointing your parents in a way. I made no apologies for my decision, but they tried to make me feel guilty for it, and I don't wanna put my children through that. Whatever they choose to do, I'm behind them 100%.

Whitney: I'm happy to hear that, but you'd think that supporting your children with whatever they want to do is just a given. So it surprises me to hear your parents weren't supportive of you driving trains.

Pat (Shrugs): Guess they thought that they were doing what was best for me by pushing me to go to law school 'cause lawyers make tons more money than train drivers. But money's not everything, and law wasn't my passion. Yeah, I need to make a living, but as long as you got family, a roof over your head, clothes on your back, and food in your belly, what more do you really need?

Whitney: I totally agree! It seems weird to say this playing a game for a million dollars, but I think money's the root of all evil. I'm out here for the experience of living in the wild with no tools, and to experience the beauty of nature in a land far away from home. The money is strictly a bonus for me.

Pat: That ain't weird at all, Whitney! I'm here 'cause I'm a fan of this show and it's been a dream of mine to play this crazy game. I'm playing for the title of Sole Survivor, and the million dollars is a bonus for me too.

Whitney (Smiling): I love that! I'm so excited for you that you get to live out your dream!

''Whitney and Pat are now shown returning from the jungle with the firewood they've gathered, still talking and laughing with each other as they carry it over to the fire pit, where Jessica M. is situated, tending to the fire. A wide view of the main camp area is shown, and we can see Evander and Neville situated in the shelter talking with each other. Suddenly, Pat and Whitney start laughing loudly again, startling Jessica M. in particular. Upon hearing the commotion, each of the three castaways in the vicinity look towards them.''

Jessica M. (Quizzical): What's up with you two?

Pat (Shrugs): Just bringing the firewood. Not much else to report.

Jessica M. (Raising an eyebrow): Is there a joke or something that I'm just not in on? I'm sure Anu could hear you carrying on from the damn ocean!

Whitney: The idea of Pat being a lawyer.

Jessica M. (Taken aback): You studied to be a lawyer? You, of all people?

Pat and Whitney both chuckle at the salon owner's response.

Pat: No, but my parents tried to convince me to go to law school when I was younger. That was never gonna happen, but they tried.

Jessica M. (Nodding): Okay, that makes sense. I was going to say, I could never see you being one of those slimy mother-f***ers.

Pat: Neither could I. Trains were my passion, and I was always gonna stick to that.

Jessica M. (Smiling): Good for you, that's awesome.

Once Jessica M.'s confessional is complete, the scene switches to a shot of Neville and Evander, who had also heard the commotion, now out of the shelter walking to a more private area of the camp as they quietly discuss what they had just seen and heard.

Neville: I was unaware how close of a friendship Whitney and Pat have going on. Do you reckon that this is something we should be concerned about?

Evander (Shrugs): I don't think so. Our main concern should be Whitney sticking with our main alliance of five, but I don't think she's a disloyal person.

Neville: How can you be certain of that, Evander? Someone did leak our plans for Tribal Council to Jessica. Jessica and Pat are tightly aligned, so Whitney could be working with them too.

Evander (Shakes head): I don't know, Whitney did mention she was completely for voting against Pat, so I think she's fine with separating game allies and personal friendships.

Neville: Are you implying that Anu is less trustworthy than Whitney, and is thus more likely to be the one that leaked our plans?

Evander: No, I'm saying that Whitney and Pat getting along probably has nothing to do with anything. If Whitney was the one to leak our Tribal Council plans to Jessica, she most likely did it because you told her she was getting votes and was uncomfortable with that.

Neville: I just think it's something we should make note of, that Whitney and Pat have formed a friendship. You're saying that this is a social game, so do you not think that social bond could mean something?

Evander: Maybe, but that also means that you need to look at forming close, social bonds with people yourself. If you want Arthur and Anu to trust you, get to know them for who they are, and leave the strategic talk out of it.

Neville (Confused): How am I to establish plans for the next Tribal Council if I am to disregard strategic discussion?

Evander: The more you bond with them on a human level, the better they will feel about trusting you. I think our best bet at this point is to try and keep our five together if we can, and you especially need to re-build trust with people after you got exposed.

Neville: I think we should be okay if it's just us, Anu, and Arthur, since there are seven people on this tribe. If we inform them of Whitney's close relationship with Pat, they could question her loyalty since we were all unaware of that friendship earlier.

Evander (Frustrated): Nobody knew about your friendship with Lacey either! So, you're probably about the last person who should be calling people on that stuff.

Neville (Conceding): Fair enough, Evander. Fair, enough. (Sighs) I'm just all too aware that I'm in the proverbial hot water at the present moment and I need to regain my footing strategically.

Evander (Persistent): So the best place to start would be to establish those friendships, and to leave that Whitney/Pat stuff out of it! Trust me, throwing her under the bus will make you look more shady. (Tone softens) Besides, wouldn't it be nice to just kick back and relax for a change? Ya' know, so you can just be human with people?

Neville: There's a lot of money on the line, Evander. This is serious business, and I don't want to risk taking my focus off of the million dollars and going home because of that.

Evander: If you don't establish trust with people to try and bring this fractured alliance together, your chances of survival past two or three Tribal Councils is not very high. (Shrugs) Heck, for all I know, I might be being generous there.

Neville (Sighs): Well, I trust that you have my back, so I shall take your word for it, Evander. I sincerely appreciate your advice on this manner.

Once Neville's confessional has completed, a transitional shot of tropical birds flying around appears on the screen before the scene switches to Anu and Arthur having a discussion as they sit on the beach.

Arthur: Now that we've had a little over a day to process things, where would you say we're at now when it comes to strategy?

Anu (Shrugs): I think you, Whitney, and myself should be solid for sure. I'd say we should still have the majority with Evander, but it's hard to ignore just how often he talks with Neville, who was obviously playing both sides at the last vote, at the very least.

Arthur (Raises an eyebrow): You think we're still alright to trust Whitney 100%?

Anu (Confused): Yeah... why not?

Arthur: I'm just sayin', Jessica had to have found out from someone that she was a target, and I doubt Evander would've ratted anyone out.

Anu bites down on her bottom lip nervously and ponders Arthur's statement for a moment before responding.

Anu (Sighs): Yeah... I see your point there. (Shrugs) Then again, for all we know, Jessica might've been sneaky enough to sniff that information out herself. Knowing Whitney as well as I do, I just can't see her being the type of person that would do that. She just seems too loyal.

Arthur: But wouldn't you agree that those are the types of people we need to watch out for the most? I'd say Whitney being the culprit could that plot twist ya' don't see comin', if ya' know what I mean. She easily coulda gotten spooked by bein' told she was the decoy target for Jessica and Pat, and just not felt comfortable with our alliance the way it was.

Anu (Persistent): Whitney seemed pretty comfortable with the alliance to me. Whatever you heard about her, she's totally innocent. I'm sure of it.

Arthur: Now, now! No need to get hostile on me. (Chuckles)

A scowl comes across Anu's face as she glares at Arthur.

Arthur: Nobody's accusing Whitney of anything. Like everyone else, I'm still trying to figure out what went down before Tribal to make everything go kaplouie. Now, thinking 'bout this, if Neville's playing both sides, he wouldn't have ratted the plan out to her, I don't think he's that dumb. So that means, if it wasn't you or I, then it was Evander or Whitney, and I just can't see why Evander would've done that.

Anu (Shakes head): I think it's more likely that Jess was sneaky enough to find out this information herself than Whitney telling her. As I said, that's not something I think Whitney would do, especially at her first vote. She spent most of that day with me, and if she couldn't trust someone or didn't like the plan, I think she would've said something.

Arthur (Takes a deep breath): If you say so, I'll believe ya'. (Shakes head) Ya' know, this just worries me 'bout Jessica all the more. If she somehow was able to spy on us talkin' like some sorta female James Bond or something, who knows what she's capable of?

Anu (Sighs): Yeah, I guess you do have a point.

Anu: I see why you want to go for Jessica, but here's my thing with Neville. He was playing both sides the first chance he got. What's stopping him from doing that again if we give him the chance?

Arthur: Neville's got nowhere to go, though. Jessica just called him out, and she's clearly tight with Pat. The only alliance he can reasonably go with is our's.

Anu: That's short-term thinking. What happens if we get to a tribe switch and there's more people for Neville to start working with? Do you still trust him to stick with you that closely then?

Arthur (Shrugs): 'Bout as much as I trust the woman that managed to figure out we were targeting her and single-handedly turned the game upside down at Tribal Council.

''Once Arthur's confessional has finished, the scene returns to Arthur and Anu talking on the beach. After a moment however, Neville is shown coming into frame. Upon seeing the medical student arrive, Arthur abruptly ends the conversation in order to welcome him.''

Arthur (Enthusiastically): Hey Neville! How's it going, mah man?

Neville: Hello Arthur, and Anu. Things are going well enough. How about the two of you? How are you feeling right now?

Arthur: Still not quite sure what to think after our insane Tribal Council. (Shrugs) But I guess being here and being a little bit confused is better than not being here at all.

Neville (Nodding): Yes, that is a sentiment that I whole-heartedly agree with. How about you, Anu?

Anu (Shrugs): Yeah, I will admit that I am just happy to still be here. We'll have to see where the game takes us, I guess.

Neville (Nods): It is my sincere hope that we each get much closer to day 42. If it is alright though, I would very much appreciate the opportunity to get to know you both on a more personal level.

Arthur and Anu both appear taken aback by this statement, with Anu even jerking her head back a bit.

Neville: I regret that in the first few days of this game that I have neglected to form relationships with more people, namely you two, for we are members of the same alliance. I wish to use this opportunity to change that, for I have come to the realization that the strongest alliances are with people you have solid personal relationships with.

Arthur (Smiling): I'm happy to hear that, Neville. That is something I absolutely agree with.

Neville: Excellent! What are your primary interests, Arthur?

Arthur: Well, being a film critic on YouTube, I am naturally most interested in movies.

Neville: Very interesting! What kinds of films do you most enjoy?

Arthur: I am a big fan of Orson Welles and his career. Citizen Kane is probably my favourite film of all time. Overall, I find dramas to be the most compelling type of film, but I can get into almost anything if it is good quality.

Neville: How would you define quality?

Arthur: "Suspension of Disbelief" is the term I like to use to describe quality. The acting, the production value, the music score, costuming, you name it, that all contributes. The more the film is able to pull me in, hold my interest, and make me believe in the story that is being told in front of me, the better it is. Also, contrary to popular belief, you do not need a high budget to accomplish this. Michael Bay films, namely the Transformers films, are pretty terrible all things considered, despite having a budget in the millions. Whereas the first Evil Dead was absolutely incredible, yet it was produced on a super low budget.

Anu: Evil Dead? Is that zombies or something?

Arthur: Nope, demons are actually resurrected. I guess it's similar to a zombie film, but it's more supernatural.

Anu: Well, I for one, love horror movies, so I have to check it out.

Arthur: Yes, I do highly recommend it. There is a second Evil Dead film too that had a higher budget, but the first one was miles better. I'm not much of a horror guy, but like I said, they did a great job of engaging me and getting me hooked on the story they were telling.

Neville: Very interesting. I don't go to movies very often, so I can't really comment on a favourite. But if friends are interested in going to the cinema, I will generally tag along.

Arthur: No shame in that, Neville. In my experience, people usually have that one film, actor, or actress that resonates with them, but to each their own. We all have our own stories to tell, and our own thing that we are passionate about, and that's the beauty of being human and living in a free country. I find that films are wonderful story-telling tools and an excellent way to express yourself and tell your story. Living in such a diverse world, you get such a wide variety of films. I feel so grateful to have a job that allows me to watch all of these films and immerse myself in this world of storytelling. I also admit that I get a kick out of roasting the films and posting my opinions online for the world to see. So even the bad ones I end up having fun with.

Neville (Confused): Roasting? Over a fire?

Arthur and Anu both start laughing as Neville sits next to them with a puzzled expression on his face.

Arthur: N-no, roasting is a modern way of saying "making fun." As much as I'd like to literally roast Michael Bay films, I do think I get more enjoyment from making jokes 'bout them and getting people laughing.

Neville: How about you, Anu? What are you most passionate about?

Anu: I'd say justice, just overall. I may be just a waitress now, but I'm hoping to get into the police academy some day.

Neville (Impressed): Good for you! I wish you the best of luck with that.

Anu (Nods): Thank you. It's a lot of hard work, but I know it will be worth it in the end. The country in which we live is a beautiful place, and I guess this is my American Dream, of sorts.

Neville (Raises an eyebrow): American Dream? If you don't mind me asking, were you born someplace else?

Anu instinctively gasps and places a hand over her mouth upon hearing Neville's statement, appearing to to have just realized what she said.

Anu (Awkwardly): Uhh... Seattle's where I was born. I live in Idaho Falls now. (Forces a giggle) I guess (finger quotes) "American Dream" is a bit of a weird way of putting it when you're born an American, but I think it's still accurate. Besides, there are a lot of places in this world that do not have the freedoms that we enjoy in the U.S., which is very sad to me, in and of itself.

Arthur (Nodding): For sure. I couldn't imagine growing up in a place like North Korea in this day and age.

Anu: Yes, that is exactly the kind of thing I'm referring to. There's unfortunately a lot of corruption in this world, not just in North Korea, but other countries as well. I'm passionate about wanting to do my part to keep my community safe because I... feel like it's really important.

''Following Anu's confessional, the scene switches back to the current conversation. The mood is now noticeably lighter as the three castaways continue to talk with each other. Arthur then tells a joke, prompting all three castaways to start laughing as the camera zooms in on Neville and switches to his confessional.''

Once Neville's confessional has completed, the scene switches to a shot of a capybara in the bushes before the sound of a human rustling through the bushes becomes audible. After a moment, it becomes apparent that this human is Jessica M. as she is in the jungle looking inside various nooks and crannies, anywhere that might stands out. The longer the salon owner searches, the more frustrated she appears to get.

Jessica M. (To self; Sassy): Oh idol, come out, come out wherever you are.

Jessica now begins climbing a short distance up tree in order to get more leverage to search in and around it. Finding nothing, she hops down and places her hands on her hips as she groans to herself.

Jessica M.: They make this look so much f***ing easier on T.V. Hopefully nobody's found the damn thing yet.

As the salon owner continues searching for the idol, the camera zooms in on the frustrated expression on her face and switches to her confessional.

''After Jessica M.'s confessional, the camera lingers on her as the salon owner continues to search the jungle for an idol. After a few moments, the scene fades out.''

Orealla
The scene now fades in to show the Orealla tribe, with the first thing on the screen being the beige tribe flag. A Guyanan red howler monkey in a tree making its howling noise comes onto the screen before the scene switches to the main area of the camp, with most of the tribe (except Billy and Kelly-Ann) being in the vicinity. Frank is scooping rice into the pot for the tribe to eat, and Irene takes the opportunity to step out of the shelter and walk over to him. Frank does not appear to notice Irene, who soon places her hands on her hips as she stares at the real estate agent. Seconds later, Frank nonchalantly begins closing the bag of rice, which appears to irritate Irene, as she wastes no time in calling him on this.

Irene: What the hell are you doing, old man?

Frank (Startled): What does it look like?

Irene: We're f***ing starving out here! We need more rice than that little bit if you don't want us all withering away.

Frank (Annoyed): We have a limited supply of rice, Irene. I ain't cooking anymore 'cause I'm not about to let us run out.

Irene: You're giving us mouse-sized portions! Stuart f***ing Little can eat more than that!

Frank: Well, Stuart Little's not playing Survivor. If he was, I'd give him the same amount I'm giving us right now.

Irene (Shakes head): You know what? F*** it, just give me the rice.

Frank instinctively grabs the bag of rice and pulls it towards himself as Irene leans down and reaches for it. Having been unsuccessful in her attempt to grab the bag, Irene places her hands on her hips and glares at the real estate agent. By this time, the remainder of the tribe that are in the area (Geoff, Ella, Sheila, K.C.) have now caught on to what is happening and are watching the argument unfold.

Frank: What is with you, Irene? We've had basically the same portions of rice for the past four days before this, and nobody's complained...

Irene (Interrupting): That's because I never got a good look at how much was in the bag 'till just now! I was eating so much better when I was in Mozambique!

Frank: Well, since you were on a strong tribe that won a lot of rewards, you probably didn't need to rely on just rice as often. Thus, you could afford to eat bigger portions because you weren't making rice as often as we have to this time around.

Irene (Baffled): What kind of argument is that? We still had to ration rice, and we had more people to feed, yet!

Frank: I can assure you that I took the time to calculate how much rice we can afford to use per meal based on how many people are on this tribe, and how long the game is. We're returning players for crying out loud, I'm not about to let us be the next Hunahpu!

Irene (Rolls eyes; scoffs): You're such a dumbass, you know that?

This comment catches everyone in the area off guard, especially Frank, who jerks his head back in shock.

Frank: Well... right back at you. (Shakes head) Ugh, just stop being such an immature child over this. I know what I'm doing!

Irene: Clearly not.

''Irene reaches for the bag of rice again, but Frank again moves it away from her. After a moment, Frank shakes his head, stands up, and starts walking away, taking the bag of rice with him.''

Irene (Snickering): Where do you think you're going with that?

Frank: Away from you 'till the meal's over and everything's cleaned up.

Irene: Oh please!

''At this time, Geoff now walks over to them, appearing frustrated with the fighting between the two castaways. Seeing the personal injury lawyer involving himself, Sheila exits the shelter and walks over to them as well.''

Geoff: Come on people, we're all adults, so let's not let this get out of hand! Frank, you have to admit that hiding the rice on Irene is a little extreme.

Frank: I ain't gonna hide the rice. I'm just not about to let her add to what we already have boiling.

Sheila: How much are we using anyway?

Frank: I put in four full scoops, so that's half a cup for each of us.

Sheila: Sounds pretty reasonable for the limited supply we have, considering we also have beans available and other stuff we can be finding.

Frank: I told you, I know what I'm doing.

Irene (Scoffs): Whatever, I had more than that in my season, and we managed just fine. But whatever, clearly I'm getting out-voted on this.

''With a huff, Irene walks over to the shelter and sits back down in it. The camera pans back around to show Frank, Geoff, and Sheila as the former places the bag of rice back down in its designated spot. The camera then re-focuses on Irene, who has her arms crossed and an annoyed expression on her face as it switches to her confessional.''

After Irene's confessional, the camera hones in on Frank, Geoff, and Sheila as the three of them talk quietly near the boiling pot of rice.

Frank: I can't believe her. She's 24-years-old, and she played this game before. She should know what's up.

Geoff: You just gotta chill, man. Don't let her get to you.

Frank: I know, I know. It's just nothing short of infuriating.

''From Frank's confessional, a shot of a harpy eagle sitting in a tree comes onto the screen before we are taken to a scene featuring Geoff, Frank, and Billy talking by the water well. As Geoff scoops the water from the well into their water jugs, Frank stands with his arms crossed and a scowl on his face, clearly frustrated by something.''

Frank: I can't believe Irene. That girl's just constantly complaining, and she just does nothing but stir up drama.

Geoff (Nodding): Yeah, that's how it's been this entire time, hasn't it?

Frank (Continues ranting): I don't get why she even came back out here if she ain't gonna contribute to the tribe and only play a terrible game. Like, she's just making herself stand out and a bigger target. Don't young people use their freaking brains anymore?

Billy was caught way off guard by Frank's last statement, physically taking a step back and nearly dropping the water well's lid in the process.

Billy: Whoa whoa woah woah! What was that, dude?

Frank (Rolls eyes): I asked if young people use their brains anymore 'cause Irene's been nothing but a menace out here and seems to be wasting her second chance.

Billy (Forces a chuckle): Hey dude, I'm still a young person, ya' know. 'Specially compared to you two.

Frank (Matter-of-Factly): I'm aware.

Billy (Awkwardly): Also... Ella's super smart. She was sayin' she's in grad school studyin' psych. right now.

Frank (Annoyed): Alright then, most young people don't use their brains nowadays.

''Uon hearing Frank's comment, Billy mumbles to Geoff "Guess I gotta take what I can get, dude," which shows up as subtitles. As Frank had overheard Billy mumbling something, he just grows more annoyed with the early childhood educator.''

Frank: What was that, Billy? If you're gonna insult me, at least be man enough to say it to my face.

Billy (Annoyed): Dude, I literally just said I gotta take what I can get. I'm sorry I don't appreciate gettin' insulted myself.

Geoff (Sternly): There's smart and dumb people in every generation. It's not fair to make sweeping generalizations.

Frank: My point's that Irene shouldn't even be here, and I'm growing sick and tired of putting up with her. It's also awfully entitled of her to just expect more rice than what we've been getting this entire time.

Geoff: I won't entirely disagree with you there. I'm starving and would love to have more rice, but I think the way we've been rationing is fair. She just needs to get used to it.

Billy: To be honest, dudes, I dunno if she has that much of an issue with the rice itself. Like, I think her strategy's literally just to stir the pot and create as much drama as she possibly can.

Frank (Matter-of-Factly): I just said that about a minute ago.

Billy (Awkwardly): Well... glad we're on the same page, dude.

''An awkward silence now comes over the three men as Geoff finishes up filling their water jug. Billy then proceeds to place the lid back on the well. Once the lid is back on the well, Billy breaks the silence.''

Billy: So, uhh... I was just thinking... I was approached by Sheila and Kelly-Ann a little while back and it seems like they're workin' with Irene already. If the three of us are gonna be an alliance, we'd might as well team up with 'em 'cause that's a majority right there.

Frank (Annoyed): You want me to work with Irene? Did you not hear a word I just said, Billy? I want her gone. Use your listening ears.

Geoff lets out a frustrated sigh, while Billy's eyes go wide open and his mouth drops open slightly, appearing shocked, and a bit hurt by the real estate agent's hostile response.

Billy: Dude... it was literally just a suggestion. B'sides... Irene'll be a shield for us. She's no threat to win if she keeps goin' like this. She's already with Kelly-Ann 'n' Sheila anyway, so I don't see the harm.

Frank: We could use that as a reason to target her. Bringin' in Ella and K.C. would also be a majority. If Kelly-Ann, Sheila, and Irene are a tight three already, is that not dangerous in and of itself?

Billy: Dude, K.C.'s barely spoken two words to me these entire five days we've been here! I don't even know his full name, so I dunno if I feel comfortable workin' with him.

Frank (Blunt): His first name is Kenneth, just don't call him that 'cause he hates it. If you watched Tasmania you'd know that.

Billy: Sorry I don't remember every detail 'bout past seasons. That also wasn't even my point, but whatever, dude.

Frank (Persistent): Either way, K.C.'s probably our strongest challenge guy anyway, so we should be looking at keeping him around for a while.

Geoff: In fairness to Billy, I haven't talked much about anything with K.C. either, let alone strategy. I'm not saying get rid of him first, but I'm hesitant about committing to an alliance with him.

Billy: As I said already, Ella's super smart, dude. She's weak in challenges and I think that if we let her get too far, she'll be a threat to win. So I think she'd be the perfect first boot from this tribe 'cause that'll help us short term and long term.

Frank: That would be all well and good if we could trust Irene to not screw us over come a tribe switch. With how she's already stirring up drama for no reason, so what's to say she won't flip on us all just for the fun of it as soon as she gets the chance?

Geoff: That is a good point. I personally don't feel comfortable aligning with Irene either. But maybe if Sheila and Kelly-Ann are tighter with each other, they might be willing to vote Irene out if they think the vote is otherwise unanimous against her.

Frank: But if they're working with Irene already, wouldn't we just be asking for trouble by telling them to vote for her?

Geoff (Shrugs): I'm just trying to get away from having to rely on Ella and K.C. 'cause I've gotten nothing from either of them over these five days. At least according to Billy, we might have an in with Kelly-Ann and Sheila.

Billy: They're the ones that asked me for the alliance already, dudes. I'm bringin' it up with you now 'cause I said I felt good 'bout workin' with you both. I also just feel like goin' against them is a bad idea right now.

Frank (Irritated): What did you promise them?

Billy: Nothin' dude! I just said I'd be cool workin' with 'em and that we could get a majority with the two of you. They're workin' with Irene, so that's six people!

Geoff: I think the best solution seems to be to target Ella for our first vote 'cause I don't think any of us have ties to her right now, and she is weak in challenges. Keeping Irene for any length of time is not ideal to me, but that's better than potentially angering Sheila and Kelly-Ann. If you still want to work with K.C. after that, I'm open to figuring something else out, but he has to talk to me before I'll agree to that.

Frank: Irene's bad in challenges too, and with all this pot-stirring she's doing, she's the logical choice to go first. But if I'm out-voted here, I guess I'll have to deal with that.

Billy: Sorry dude. I did tell Sheila and Kelly-Ann I got good vibes from both of you, so I think we should be fine. They know we're together, we know they're together. There's no drama or sneakiness. It's just straight-forward.

Frank: Good to know.

''Once Frank's confessional has completed, the scene shows Geoff and Billy back at camp dropping off the water jug. As soon as the jug is placed in its designated location near the shelter, Geoff pulls Billy aside to a more private area of the camp.''

Geoff (Concerned): You doing okay, Billy?

Billy (Confused): Yeah dude. Why?

Geoff (Slightly awkwardly): I just, uhhh... noticed how Frank was talking to you back there and that it seemed to upset you. (Sighs) Rightfully so, 'cause that was just rude of him, but that's why I'm asking.

Billy (Shrugs): I'm fine dude. It's whatever, honestly.

Geoff (Raising an eyebrow): You sure?

Billy: Yeah. I mean like, I said my piece to him, so it's over. B'sides dude, I've been called much worse things than just "stupid." Like, a few months back, my Grandma Connie said I look like some sorta tranny 'cause my hair's so long.

Billy proceeds to start chuckling while Geoff appears mortified.

Geoff: Why are you laughing? That's awful!

Billy: 'Cause my Grandma Connie and Grandpa Lennie have been on me to cut my hair for so long, dude. It's just hilarious now. Like, I remember when I first started growin' it out, she'd grab my hair and talk about how she could braid it like that was supposed to convince me to get a haircut.

Geoff: It's your hair. I don't see why it matters to them.

Billy (Shrugs): They're kinda traditional like that, dude. They believe boys shouldn't be allowed to have long hair, or something.

Geoff (Shakes head): I never understood that mentality. I guess I could see how it looks unprofessional in some cases. but it's not like you're trying to be a lawyer or anything. Even then, I don't see why the length of your hair matters so much.

Billy (Nodding): My thoughts exactly, dude. But yeah, I've even had parents picking up their children from the pre-school I work at now ask if I'm gay, (Geoff's face drops again) I guess 'cause I'm a guy workin' with kids? (Shrugs) I dunno, dude. Apparently one lady even said she was curious 'cause I looked (finger quotes) "too happy." I also heard someone asked if I was some kinda pedo.

Geoff has a hand over his mouth, left speechless by what Billy is saying.

Billy: Maybe the hair had somethin' to do with that last one, dude. (Shrugs; flips hair) I dunno. (Chuckles)

Geoff (Shakes head; Stutters): H-how... did you even... f-find that out?

Billy: One lady asked if I'm gay to my face, which I just laughed off. It was at the end of the day, so she just gave me a weird look before she left with her kid after I told her "No." I heard 'bout the lady that said I was too happy and the dude that asked if I was a pedo from a co-worker.

Geoff (Shakes head again): That's just messed up.

Billy: I didn't hear what was said dude, but the girl 'parently got mad 'n' said all the teachers got their necessary checks done, which is true.

Geoff (Frustrated): Well yeah, you work at a pre-school for God's sake, so one would assume they did! Heck, it's almost just as messed up that this girl even brought this up to you in the first place!

Billy (Laughs): Relax, dude! You're gettin' more worked up 'bout this than I ever did! She probably just couldn't believe what she heard from that dude's mouth, so she just had to tell me. (Shrugs) Then again, she's also the one that told me 'bout the other lady that said I was too happy 'n' asked if I'm gay.

Geoff: Sounds to me like she's just catty and wants to stir the pot for no reason.

Billy (Nodding): Maybe that's part of it, dude. But part of me thinks she just couldn't believe what she heard, and the other part of me thinks she was curious 'bout my sexuality herself. (Shrugs) Guess she couldn't believe a hot dude like me was single. (Chuckles)

Geoff: Well... I'm glad you're seeing the humour in this, 'cause I'm certainly not.

Billy: Point is dude, I've heard a lotta s*** and I've come to a point where I know I can't change people's opinions of me. People are gonna think what they're gonna think, and I'm just not about to change 'cause they want my hair a certain length or if they think I should be doin' a different job. Yeah dude, hearin' that s*** will piss me off at the time, but by the end of the day, I can usually make a joke out of it and it's done. To me dude, Frankie's no different than those other ass****s. I ain't gonna let him get to me.

Geoff: Well... good for you, 'cause that takes a lot of strength.

Billy: To be honest dude, none of that s*** was more embarrassin' or awkward for me than gettin' booted third in Uruguay. I'm supposed to be young, and strong, and whatever else, dude, so that was public humiliation for me. I can't try and control what people think of me, but I can control how well I do here.

Billy: Seriously though dude, I'm more worried 'bout if Frankie's gonna be loyal to me than whether or not he thinks I'm just another stupid young person. I'm beginnin' to think askin' for this alliance with him as a bad idea.

Geoff (Sighs): Yeah, I didn't get good vibes from Frank either back there. I have this feeling he's going to try and align with K.C. anyway. I just hope for our stakes he sticks to targeting Irene.

Billy (Nodding): For sure, dude. I was kinda thinkin' just now that the two of us could just take the alliance with Sheila, Kelly-Ann 'n' Irene, but you and Frank did make some good points 'bout how she can't be trusted. Dude, I'm worried that if we try to get Irene to vote Frank that she'll just rat me out to him simply 'cause she wants to stir the pot 'cause then all of a sudden dude, I'm once again a two-timin' liar.

Geoff: Maybe you don't have to worry so much though if Irene knows Frank's pushing hard for her to go. After the rice incident, it's clear the two of them don't like each other. Telling Irene that Frank wants her gone could fan those flames.

Billy (Frustrated): But she knows we're workin' with him! Won't she question why we're throwin' him under the bus?! (Shakes head) Ugh. I think we should just stick to targetin' Ella and hope for the best. Hopefully Frankie stays loyal for at least one vote.

Geoff: We just need to keep an eye on him then, but I think you have every right to be concerned here. I promise you, I have your back no matter what, dude.

Billy (Grins): I appreciate that, dude. Thanks so much.

Geoff: No problem, Billy. If you ever need to talk, just let me know.

''After Geoff's confessional, the personal injury lawyer is shown pulling Billy in for a quick bro-hug before the two of them begin making their way back to camp. A transitional shot of a coral snake under some rotting wood appears under the screen before switching to a scene showing Frank and K.C. talking on the beach.''

Frank: Okay, so I know you don't like any beating around the bush, so I'll get straight to the point. I wanna work with you out here. I think we're the most mature guys out here, and from watching your season, I think we have similar mindsets about how this game should be played. If we put our brains together out here, we can be unstoppable.

K.C. (Nods): Yeah, I'm definitely open to working something out. I wouldn't say I've found a true number one just yet.

Frank: I feel exactly the same way that you do. At this point in the game, that's something I wanna change

K.C. (Crosses arms): Well, there ain't a whole lotta people I can say I even trust a little bit out here. So I'm open to pretty much anything strategically. What are you thinking?

Frank: Well, who do you think you may have even some trust in? I think I can go from there.

K.C.: The only one that's really come to me with any sort of proposal is Sheila. (Frank raises an eyebrow) She mentioned that Kelly-Ann and Irene were supposedly really close and that between them, she was the third wheel.

Frank nods slowly and strokes his beard for a moment before answering K.C.

Frank: Hmm... so those three are together. That Sheila's everywhere too.

K.C. (Confused): How'd you find that out?

Frank: Billy, of all freaking people. He told me that Sheila and Kelly-Ann approached him to have an alliance with Irene.

K.C.: Really?

Frank: I heard it from the kid's lips just this afternoon.

K.C.: How much do you really trust him? I mean, he did play pretty hard and told quite a few lies in his first season.

Frank: True, but the fact you told me yourself that Sheila is aligned with Kelly-Ann and Irene corroborates with exactly what he just told me. Sheila came to you, she went to Billy, she's with Irene and Kelly-Ann... (shakes head) that woman's got her hands in everybody's cookie jars already. That's so dangerous right now!

K.C.: So what are you suggesting we do about it? Vote her out? She's the only real ally, besides you, that I got right now. But if we link up with her, Kelly-Ann, and Irene, there's a majority of five people.

Frank: Out of curiosity, who does Sheila want out?

K.C.: She's in full agreement to target Ella first.

Frank (Raises an eyebrow): Ella?

K.C.: That's what I said.

Frank: That's exactly the same person Billy's pushing to get rid of first.

K.C. (Shrugs): Okay, so we'll have no problem being in the majority for our first Tribal Council.

Frank: No, you don't get it. Sheila's game right now is clearly to make everyone, except Ella the target, think they're her number one. I don't wanna just play into her hand and give her control of this game right now.

K.C. (Nodding slowly): Yeah, I'm with you on that. (Shrugs) So, what do you think we should do about it? As I said, besides you, she's the only other ally I really got right now.

Frank nods slowly and strokes his beard while he ponders the police officer's question.

Frank: Well... whatever we do, we have to pull in Ella. That's a given.

K.C.: Absolutely.

Frank: It seems like Sheila, Kelly-Ann, and Irene are a definite trio 'cause Sheila's bringing those two in for every alliance she's proposed. If we're gonna vote out one of 'em, I'd do Sheila or Irene before Kelly-Ann. As I said, Sheila's got her hands in everyone's cookie jar, and I think she was bulls***ing when she told you she was third wheel, especially if Billy told the truth 'bout being approached by the two of them. I know, it's Billy that said that, but that's not the point. (Shrugs) As for Irene, she needs to explanation as to why she needs to go. Between the rice incident this morning and the machete incident a couple days ago, she obviously doesn't care about stirring up drama. Since she directly targeted us two, that tells me she's got no intention of being loyal to either of us.

K.C.: Yeah, I get you. The more I think about it though, Kelly-Ann might be better to go after 'cause I couldn't see Billy drawing rocks for her. Once Sheila's closest ally is out of the picture, we could even pull her to our side.

Frank: Heck, I wouldn't even mind just flat-out voting Billy out of here.

''K.C. is caught way off guard by this statement from the real estate agent. He jerks his head back a little bit as a confused expression comes over his face.''

K.C.: Why though? If the goal is to weaken Sheila, and the people she's closest with are Kelly-Ann and Irene, I don't see how voting out Billy of all people gets us anywhere. (Shakes head) He's even our strongest physically, so we wouldn't even benefit in challenges.

Frank: You're stronger than he is, aren't you?

K.C. (Bluntly): I'm 42. Billy's ripped and in his 20's. Take a guess. (Frank rolls his eyes) Yeah, I'm still in good shape from being a cop, but I'm also a realist. I ain't afraid to say I could beat you, Geoff, and Kelly-Ann in physical challenges, but not Billy.

Frank (Snarls): Oh, just take the damn compliment, K.C. I don't hand those out willy nilly! We'd still do fine in challenges with you at the helm. Aren't you almost 7 feet tall too?

K.C. (Slightly Annoyed; Crosses arms): 6'4. Take your head out of my ass, Frank. You know damn well I don't tower over you that much.

Frank: Whatever, point is, we can still get rid of Billy and still be perfectly fine in challenges.

K.C.: But why would we do that? He's not one of Sheila's closest allies!

Frank (Snaps): 'Cause he's a childish idiot and a liar! Look at how he played in Uruguay!

K.C.: Look at how well that worked for him. What's to say he's not playing completely differently this time? You yourself just said our stories corroborated and I don't have evidence of a single lie Billy's told, but I do have evidence of Irene stirring up needless chaos, and Kelly-Ann and Sheila playing the entire tribe!

Frank: That kid told me today he wants to align with Irene, of all people! If we can't trust her, how the hell can we trust him? We can easily pull in Ella to vote him out, and I'm sure I can convince Geoff to come with us.

K.C. (Shakes head): Sheila told me that Geoff and Billy are super close, and looking at them together, that seems likely. If Billy is with Sheila, Kelly-Ann, and Irene, and Geoff is that tight with Billy, the most we got on him are three votes, being our's and Ella's.

Frank: Unless we convince Sheila and Kelly-Ann somehow that it's in their best interest to get rid of Billy.

K.C. (Confused): What are you talking about?

Frank: We could tell them that Irene and Billy are working closer together, and that Billy also working with Geoff makes him dangerous. If we have Ella and get both Sheila's and Kelly-Ann's votes, there's the majority at our first Tribal. Then, we pull in Geoff into our alliance with Ella... (snaps fingers) majority of four, and just like that, we have our pick between Sheila, Irene, and Kelly-Ann as to who goes next.

K.C.: I'd still rather not cut our strongest challenge performer this early if we can help it.

Frank lets out a loud sigh, appearing frustrated by K.C.'s response.

K.C.: Look, I don't like the kid either. I think he's annoying as hell, and if I can help it, I want to avoid working with him 'cause I don't need someone immature like Hershey hanging onto me again. But looking at the other people here, getting rid of Billy first is just not smart. Irene's weak, and she's at the centre of all the drama and chaos. Kelly-Ann is strong, but more expendable than Billy, and Sheila's most threatening close ally. So for me, I'm dead set on voting one of those two first.

Frank (Conceding): Fine then, I'm good with voting Irene out first, if that's what you want. I don't want either her or Billy around any longer than they need to be.

K.C.: Good to know.

Frank: As far as I'm concerned, options for a good alliance on this tribe are scarce.

K.C. (Nodding): I agree.

Frank: As long as we stick together though, we can wield a lot of power in this game. (Sticks out hand) I'm willing to pledge my allegiance to you for the remainder of these 42 days. May the best man win.

K.C. grasps Frank's hand and the two share a firm handshake.

K.C.: If you got my back, I got your's.

Frank (Smirks): Pleasure doing business with you.

Once Frank's confessional finishes up, a brief shot of Irene resting in the shelter appears on the screen for a moment before the camera fades out.

Ingariko
''The scene now opens up to the Ingarikó tribe, first showing a transitional shot of a school of fish swimming through the ocean. The gold, Ingarikó tribe flag then appears on the screen for a moment before the sound of laughter is heard coming from the beach. We are then taken to the scene that provided the source of the laughter, and we see Kye and Charmer sitting on the beach together, sharing a hearty laugh.''

Charmer (Playfully): You are so funny, Kye. So, so funny!

Kye: Am I now? I'm not trying to be.

Charmer: Well I think you are, and I like it!

Kye: So I'll take that as a compliment then. Thank you.

Charmer: You're welcome. (Sighs) It's almost like I'm talking with my sister. I remember just being able to laugh about literally nothing with her all the time.

Kye (Smiling): I'm glad you have such a positive relationship with her.

Charmer (Sighs): Yeah...

Charmer's voice trails off and there is soon silence between her and Kye. The barmaid now proceeds to lean towards the personal trainer and rest her head on his shoulder as the two of them continue to look out towards the ocean. Kye is caught off guard by this at first, though a grin soon appears on his face, indicating that he clearly doesn't mind. Charmer however, has a blank expression on her face as she continues to stare out into space. After a few moments, Charmer has not moved her head from Kye's shoulder, and the blank expression remains on her face, though Kye is unable to see this. To break the silence, the personal trainer soon speaks up in a playful tone.

Kye: You falling asleep there, girl? My shoulder makes for a nice pillow, doesn't it?

Upon hearing this, Charmer seems to have only just realized what she has been doing as her eyes go wide and she quickly lifts her head and places a hand over her open mouth.

Charmer (Embarrassed): I'm so sorry! Oh my word... I swear... I didn't realize!

Kye (Comforting): It's okay. I didn't mind, just wasn't expecting that. You have nothing to be sorry for.

Charmer breathes a sigh of relief and places her hand over her heart for a moment.

Charmer: Okay, thank you, Kye. I was just, uhh... thinking about... stuff, I guess.

Kye: What kind of stuff?

Charmer: Well... my sister. (Sighs) She got cancer once and beat it... but then she got it again and passed away. (Shakes head) I still miss her so, so much.

Kye (Sympathetic): Awww... I'm so sorry to hear that.

Charmer: Yeah, thank you. (Starts to tear up) We were so close and thinking about it makes me sad. But I like to think that she is in a better place now and watching over me. I want to make her proud.

Kye: You are making her proud, Charmer, just by keeping her memory alive.

Charmer: You really think so?

Kye: I know so.

Charmer: Thank you. You're so sweet.

Charmer: Ugh, I can't believe I did that.

Kye: Did what?

Charmer: Lay on your shoulder... talk about my sister. She always said I have no filter. I dunno what that means... (Kye chuckles) but she's said that about me more than once.

Kye (Sympathetic): It means you're very open, and that you always say what's on your mind. You're not fake, and I like that about you.

Charmer: Do you like it enough to make an alliance with me?

Kye (Laughs): I guess so. I think you would be really trustworthy.

Charmer (Excited): Yay! That makes me so happy! I think you would be very trustworthy too.

Kye: Thank you, I certainly plan on playing an honest game the whole time we're out here.

Charmer: I'm glad you said that. I think the winner should be a good person that was always loyal and honest... at least as much as possible.

Kye (Nods): I completely agree.

''Charmer simply nods and there is silence between them for a moment. The barmaid then suddenly gets an idea and excitedly brings it up.''

Charmer: So... since we're officially allies now... (pulls her idol clue out of her pocket) do you wanna go idol hunting with me?

Shocked by this statement from Charmer, Kye is left speechless for a few moments.

Charmer: Well?

Kye: Yeah... sure. I gotta ask though... when did you find that?

Charmer: Yesterday. It was in the fishing net we won at the reward.

Kye (Shakes head): Wow, I can't believe that... good job!

Charmer (Proudly): Thanks! Do we wanna read the clue here? Or somewhere else?

Kye: Let's go in the jungle, where nobody else can immediately find us or overhear us.

Charmer (Smiles): Okay!

''Charmer and Kye now stand up and start walking towards the jungle. The camera focuses on Kye, who has a confused expression on his face as the camera switches to his confessional.''

''Once Kye's confessional has finished, he and Charmerare shown walking in the jungle for another few moments. The two of them then stop, and Charmer pulls the idol clue out of her pocket and unravels it.''

Charmer: Alright, let's see what this thingy says.

Kye (Baffled): I still can't believe you wanna look for the idol with me. I feel... honoured. (Chuckles)

Charmer (Giggles): Well, I trust you, and I want you in this game with me for a long, long time.

Kye: Still though, I dunno what to say... except thank you, I guess.

Charmer: You're very welcome. Now, let's read this thingy!

Kye (Smiles): Sounds like a plan.

''Charmer and Kye look down at the clue, with the former appearing confused almost instantaneously. Kye puts a hand to his mouth as he silently reads it over to himself. Kye then proceeds to read the clue a second time, though this time, he reads it out loud.''

Kye: Dwayne Johnson starring in '"Two Parts Hydrogen, One Part Oxygen."

Charmer (Shaking her head): Ugh, I have no idea what any of this means. Who's Dwayne Johnson, and what does he have to do with Survivor.?

Kye: Dwayne Johnson is a famous actor. I think he used to be a wrestler. No clue what that has to do with anything though.

Charmer: I don't know either. What's that about oxygen though? Don't we breathe oxygen?

Kye (Nodding slowly): We do... hmmm... I feel like I've heard that other part of the clue before, the "Two Parts Hydrogen, One Part Oxygen" part. I'm just trying to think about where... wait a minute.

Charmer: Yeah?

Kye: Two parts hydrogen, one part oxygen... that's H20 - the chemical formula for water! (Chuckles) Who ever thought that middle school science class would be useful out here?

Charmer (Giggles): I never would've guessed! I try not to think about school if I can help it.

Kye (Playfully rolls eyes): Oh, trust me girl... same! (Laughs)

Charmer: Okay, so the idol has to be in water somewhere. But what does this Dwayne Johnson person have to do with it?

Kye: That's what I'm trying to figure out. Hmmm... if I remember correctly, I think he's also known as "The Rock," but I don't know if that's a hint or not.

Charmer: So... The Rock starring in water?

Kye (Eyes go wide): Oh my gosh! That's it! You're a freaking genius!

Charmer (Giggles awkwardly): I am?

Kye: Yes! There's that big group of rocks by the shore in the ocean! The clue is literally saying "The rock in water!" It has to be around there!

Charmer (Charmer): Oh yay! Let's go get it!

Charmer and Kye now start rushing towards the ocean in order to search for the idol. As they do, a transitional short of a jaguar sitting in a tree, turning its head from one side to the other, appears on the screen. The next scene shows Charmer and Kye at the rocks sticking out into the ocean, searching all over them. Kye is on the rocks on the side closest to the open water, while Charmer searches closer to shore. The camera focuses on Kye as he searches around, sticking his hand in various cracks and crevices. Finding nothing, Kye proceeds to slowly move closer to shore, still searching as he does so. After a few moments, the personal trainer decides to take off his blue tank top and place it on the rock next to him before climbing down into the ocean, which is about waist deep. Kye continues to search for the idol as he wanders through the water. The camera then pans around to where Charmer is. The barmaid searches in and around the various rocks closer to shore, pulling up and examining various small rocks before tossing them back in the water. Soon, the barmaid sticks her hand between two rocks, just beneath the surface of the water. Lodged in this space is something wrapped in waterproof fabric, and tied up with yellow twine. Charmer gets excited as she calls Kye over and removes the twine, revealing a pale yellow, skull-shaped medallion and an accompanying note. Upon seeing what Charmer has found, Kye congratulates her. Charmer then begins to blush as she unfolds the note that came with the medallion and reads it out loud.

Charmer: Congratulations, you have found the Hidden Immunity Idol!

Charmer lets out an excited squeal as she lowers the note for a moment and looks up at Kye.

Charmer: I can't believe I found it! This is crazy! (Sighs happily) Are you just as excited as me about this?

Kye (Proudly): Hell yeah! This is awesome!

Charmer: I know, right?!

''Kye nods as Charmer pauses for a bit to regain her composure. She then continues reading the note.''

Charmer: When played, this idol will cancel any votes cast against you at Tribal Council. You must play this idol after the votes are cast, but before they are read, and the castaway with the next highest number of votes will be voted out. The last time this idol can be played is the final five. Good luck.

Kye: I am so happy for you!

Charmer: Thank you so much!

''Charmer then rolls the note back up and sticks it in her pocket, then looks down at the idol for a moment, saying nothing. She then takes the idol and offers it to Kye.''

Charmer: For you.

''Shocked, Kye's eyes go wide and his mouth drops open a little. Charmer giggles quietly for a moment, seeing that the personal trainer has clearly been left speechless.''

Kye (Awkwardly): I... I can't take this. Thank you, but you found it. The idol is your's.

Charmer: Nope! I don't want it. I want you to have it.

Kye: Are you sure?

Charmer (Nodding): Absolutely, positively!

Kye: I'm just saying, you found it, you deserve to keep it.

Charmer: That means I also deserve to do what I want with it. I want to give it to you.

Charmer has a big smile on her face as Kye hesitantly takes the idol from her.

Kye: Alright then, if you insist, I'll take it. Thank you.

Charmer: You're welcome. Yes, I do insist.

Kye: Well... thank you again, Charmer. I dunno what else to say.

Charmer (Smiling): You're welcome... again. (Giggles)

Kye: If you ever want it back, just let me know.

Charmer: I won't, but thanks anyway. I trust you.

Kye: Yeah... I can see that. (Shakes head) Wow.

''From Kye's confessional, a transitional shot of a tarantula crawling up a tree comes onto the screen before the scene switches over to the main area of the camp, where Pedro can be seen tending to the fire, while Bernadette lays in the shelter alone. After a moment, Bernadette sits up and takes a drink from her canteen of water. The hairstylist/fitness instructor then puts a smile on her face and makes her way over to where Pedro is sitting.''

Bernadette (Cheerful): Hello Pedro! How are you donig this fine afternoon?

Pedro (Smiling): Pretty well, thank you for askin'. How's Miss Bernadette?

Bernadette: Ugh! Starving! My tummy's making the rumblies again, and I can't get it to shut up. (Giggles) I know we can't just cook more rice or beans 'cause I don't want us to start running low. But still!

Pedro (Nods): Yeah, I know what you mean. (Shrugs) But this is what we signed up for. It's the nature of the beast.

Bernadette: Oh totally, one billion percent. (Shakes head; Sighs) Anyway, to change the subject off of my rumbling tummy, you said you're from Honduras, right?

As Bernadette says this, Jessica B. enters the frame and quietly takes a seat next to her as Pedro answers the question.

Pedro (Enthusiastically): Yes ma'am! Born 'n' raised.

Bernadette (Giggling uncontrollably): Oh Lordy! Don't call me ma'am, please. Gosh, that makes me feel like I'm an old lady.

Jessica B. (Butting in): But you are old, at least compared to most people here... aside from Pedro, of course.

Bernadette (Playfully rolls eyes): No need to rub it in, Jessie-licious.

Jessica B. (Annoyed): Jessica, my name is Jessica Brennar... ma'am.

Bernadette (Giggles): How about you don't call me "ma'am," and I'll call you by your actual name.

Jessica B. (Blunt): You haven't yet.

Bernadette: Well, maybe I'll start.

Jessica B.: You do that.

Bernadette: Anyway... (turns attention to Pedro) what was it like growing up in Honduras? Tell me all about it!

Jessica scowls and rolls her eyes, while in contrast, Pedro lights right up when asked this question.

Pedro: Oh well, where do I begin? (Chuckles) I guess I'll start off by sain' that even though we never had a lotta money, there was always plenty of love to go around. I grew up in one of those areas where everybody knows everybody, if ya' know what I mean. I remember bein' a boy 'n' walkin down the streets or to the market alone 'n' without a care in the world. (Sighs) I gotta say though, the thing I mist most 'bout Honduras are the street festivals, 'specially Punta Gorda, which is on April 12th each year. Don't get me wrong, I love goin' to Mardi Gras in New Orleans every year with the family, and I'm thankful to be livin' in America, specifically New Orleans where they have something like that on such a grand scale. But it's still not the same.

Bernadette: What is Punta Gorda, exactly?

Pedro: It's a big, wonderful celebration of Garifuna culture and their arrival to the region from St. Vincent and their freedom from slavery under the British 'n' Spanish. It takes place on the island, Roatán. There are theatrical performances about their reception by the natives, including a march along the bay. There is music, food, dancin', even religious services in the Garifuna language! I'm not of Garifuna decent myself, but it's a beautiful celebration of freedom 'n' inclusion that brings so many people together. It's just so surreal and it's definitely somethin' you gotta experience for yourself.

Bernadette (Impressed): Oh Lordy, that sounds so, so beautiful! I gotta admit, I'm kinda jelly that I haven't yet seen something like that live.

Jessica B. (Annoyed): Jelly?

Bernadette (Chuckling): Jealous! You know what I meant, Jessie...

Jessica B. glares angrily at Bernadette

Bernadette (Hastily correcting herself): ...CA! Jessie-ca. I know how to say your name.

Jessica B. (Rolls eyes): Right.

Pedro (Chuckling): But yeah, as much as I'm thankful for the life I've lived with mah family in America, that's one of the few things that make me wish I still lived there. I do try to go back to Honduras each April if I can for Punta Gorda, and most years I do. (Shrugs) But I still miss it, ya' know.

Jessica B. (Blunt): So, why'd you leave if it was so great over there?

Bernadette appears annoyed by the harshness of the attorney's tone, while Pedro just shrugs it off as he answers the question.

Pedro: To be honest with ya', mah wife talked me into leavin'. We both grew up very poor, and she didn't like the idea of raisin' a family there. As much as I loved Honduras, I loved mah wife more. B'sides, she was right at the end of the day. We were not in a good environment over there to raise a family in, 'n' movin' to America was definitely the right choice.

Bernadette: What was it like for you coming over here?

Pedro: The hardest part for us was just adaptin' to a new culture 'n' way of life. The immigration process itself was fine all thing's considered. But you gotta remember that this was 41 years ago, so a lot less red tape was involved than there is today, I'm sure. Learnin' to speak English was also pretty hard for both of us. But once we learned the language 'n' got settled in America, things started goin' a lot more smoothly.

Bernadette (Nods): Yeah, I just feel so badly for those poor people tryin' to get into our country just looking for a better life. I wish our government wouldn't make it so hard on them.

Jessica B. (Rolls eyes): Then come in legally like Pedro, and you won't have a problem! It's the illegals they are trying to keep out.

Pedro: I'll say that I do have a lotta sympathy for people tryin' to cross the Southern border, havin' been in their shoes at one point. I agree that they should follow the legal process if they can, but most of 'em are just so poor 'n' so desperate to get outta their country by the sounds of things.

Jessica B.: I don't care if you grew up in a cardboard box and have a 0.0% chance of getting out of your situation in your country. We have laws for a reason, and we can't just let people cross the border willy nilly because we feel sorry for them. The system doesn't work like that, and rightfully so!

Bernadette (Butting in): Don't be so insensitive!

Jessica B.: Oh calm down, Bernadette! Don't start virtue signalling on me here! Unlike you, I don't make my decisions based on sympathy. Not in life, not in this game.

Bernadette: If people are disadvantaged in life through no fault of their own, then of course they deserve sympathy!

Jessica B. (Matter-of-Factly): Sure, but that doesn't mean pander to them and always make a big deal out of said disadvantage. Not everything in life has to revolve around somebody's sob story!

Bernadette: What are you talking about, I never said that!

Jessica B. (Rolls eyes): Come on now, you're so transparent! I, and other people here, have noticed how you always seem to make a big deal about Kye being trans, or Pedro being an immigrant. Just because someone's life may have been a little harder than yours, that's not an invitation to give them special treatment or special praise all the time!

Bernadette: If someone perseveres and manages to overcome their disadvantage, then of course they deserve to be recognized for that!

Jessica B. shoots Pedro a knowing look, as if to say "I told you so," which prompts the air traffic control supervisor to scrunch up his face.

Jessica B. (Rolls eyes): Ugh, we've been over this already, Bernadette. But whatever.

Bernadette (Confused): Have we?

Jessica B. (Blunt): Yes, we have. I'm outta here.

''The attorney now stands up and starts walking away, leaving Pedro and Bernadette both confused. The camera then hones in on the stone-cold expression on Jessica B.'s face and switches to her confessional.''

After Jessica B.'s confessional, the scene showing Berndatte and Pedro by the fire re-appears on the screen.

Berndatte (Sighs loudly): What was that about?

Pedro (Shakes head): You tell me.

Bernadette (Rolls eyes): She is such a negative girl! I wish she'd have some sympathy for people who have been through hard times!

Pedro (Nods): Mmmm hmmm.

Berndatte: I always try my very best to spread positivity and show compassion. It blows my minds that there are people as downright nasty as her in this world.

''Once Bernadette's confessional has completed, a brief shot of a mother capybara and her pups walking along a stream comes onto the screen. We are then taken to the water well where Kye, Pedro, and Sal can be seen talking.''

Pedro: Well, it's been a couple days. I was just wonderin' where you gentlemen's heads are at 'bout the Sympathy Vote Mania stuff Miss Jessica was tellin' us about.

Sal (Shrugs): Personally, I'm still really skeptical about it. But I'm also not one of the one's she's saying are being targeted. If the two of you don't feel comfortable with Bernadette, I'd be fine voting her out. We know that with Jessica and Aleigha we'll have the numbers.

Kye (Nods): Yeah. (Sighs) I did have a talk with Bernadette after she singled me out after the reward challenge.

Pedro (Anxious): How'd that go?

Kye: Unfortunately... (shakes head) not as well as I hoped. I'm glad it's just you guys here right now, 'cause I really don't know how to bring this up with Aleigha. I'm scared she's going to freak out when she hears about this.

Sal (Concerned): Why? What happened?

Kye: Aleigha's just been really passionate about wanting to make sure I can play this game the way I intend to, and she seemed convinced Jessica told the truth after Bernadette singled me out at the reward challenge.

Sal: But you're still unsure? (Kye nods) What happened when you talked with Bernadette?

Kye (Sighs): She basically got all confused and... dare I say... (sighs) offended when I told her I felt uncomfortable being singled out.

Pedro (Confused): What do ya' mean?

Kye: It's almost like she thought I was accusing her of being transphobic or something, which I promise I'm not. Bernadette then admitted that if she was on the jury and me in the finals, that she was wanting to make some sorta speech praising me and give me her jury vote. I had to tell her that I don't want to be singled out, and I don't want my gender identity to be a factor in whether or not I win. I want to win based on merit. It's like she had a hard time understanding that. (Shakes head) I feel bad for saying all this, 'cause I don't wanna come off like I'm trashing her or anything. I hope she'll stop singling me out too. But it does seem like, at the very least, sympathy votes were on her mind.

Sal: I can see why you're concerned. I don't if that tells us much about if Bernadette said what Jessica's accusing her of saying though. Like, just because she's thinking of throwing you a sympathy vote doesn't mean she thinks you should be voted out because you might get them.

Kye (Nods): Yeah, that makes sense.

Pedro: Yeah, I think I'm with Sal on that. I talked with Miss Bernadette 'n' Miss Jessica both a little while ago. Seems like Bernadette's really curious, has a lotta sympathy, and that some of the stuff she says just doesn't come out right.

Kye: Yeah, I think I can agree with that.

Pedro: Also, I just don't see Miss Jessica 'n' Miss Bernadette gettin' along well enough for any alliance to be proposed between 'em. They started arguin' pretty fast, 'n' they seem to almost enjoy pushin' each other's buttons.

Sal: What do you mean?

Pedro: It's like adult children! Miss Bernadette asked to not be called ma'am, so Miss Jessica called her ma'am. Miss Bernadette also refuses to say her name right after bein' corrected, and it clearly annoyin' Miss Jessica.

Sal (Chuckling): How do you screw up "Jessica"?

Pedro: She said "Jessie-licious" or somethin'.

Kye (Rolls eyes): So she's messing it up on purpose to get under Jessica's skin, basically?

Pedro (Nodding): Pretty much, yeah. Adult children is what the two of 'em are.

Kye and Sal both nod in agreement with Pedro, just before the air traffic control supervisor brings up another point.

Pedro: There was one other interestin' part of that talk though. Miss Bernadette mentioned people bein' recognized for perseverin' 'n' overcomin' disadvantages, and Miss Jessica seemed to get mad and said somethin' like: "We've been over this."

Sal: So maybe she did bring up this Sympathy Vote Mania stuff.

Pedro: But the thing is, Miss Bernadette seemed confused by that. So I dunno what to make of it, but I doubt there was an alliance proposed between 'em.

Kye: Honestly, it seems to me like Jessica probably took something Bernadette said and twisted her words when she came to us. Her reason being because she hates her and just wants her out.

Sal: Either way, after hearing this, I'm convinced that those two need to be split up at our first Tribal Council. If they can't be mature around each other for even a few minutes, there's no way they'll stay loyal when we mingle with the other tribes. We'd all have less of a chance of surviving than children in a McDonald's ball pit searching for a single, shiny toy they were told was buried inside.

Pedro starts chuckling at Sal's last statement, while Kye flashes an amused smirk.

Sal: Except there, I dunno what'll get 'em first... the fight to the death... or the piss.

Pedro and Kye now start laughing as the camera focuses on Sal and switches to his confessional.

Sal: So, I'm just wondering here, is there anybody else you'd like to bring into our fold for the time being? I hope we can still trust Aleigha, but I don't know how much we can trust Bernadette, even if we decide to vote out Jessica.

Kye: I'd say Charmer, for sure. (Pedro nods) She's a very sweet girl and I get along really well with her. I think we could definitely trust her if there was something solid between us.

Sal (Raises an eyebrow): Isn't Charmer close with Bernadette and Elvis though? I was under the impression they were a tight three.

Pedro: I think Charmer's close with a lotta people. Maybe she's just got a certain, uhhh... charm to her.

Kye (Mimicking playing drums): Ba dum tiss!

Kye and Sal let out a short chuckle as Pedro continues.

Pedro: I think I've got a good relationship with Charmer, myself. As Kye said, she's very sweet.

Sal: But do you think that means we can really trust her? If she's close with so many people, I imagine she'll be a swing vote, and I'd rather try and pull in someone we can rely on. (Shrugs) Unless you guys want to lock us into going after Bernadette first, since we know we could get the numbers there with Jessica. You also said yourself, Kye, that you don't even know how to bring this up with Aleigha.

Kye (Nods slowly): Yeah, I know.

Sal simply shrugs and a smirk comes across his face as he starts talking in a playful/joking tone.

Sal: Ya' know what this whole situation's teaching me, fellas?

Pedro: What's that?

Sal (Counts on fingers): Well, we don't trust Aleigha to vote Jessica, Charmer's close with everybody, especially Bernadette and Elvis, and I don't know about you, but I don't trust Jessica... at all. (Shrugs) Seems to me like there's one thing the three of us have to keep in mind out here, that being to trust nobody, because people suck.

Kye and Pedro share a short chuckle.

Pedro: Ya' really wanna go that far? I quite like some of these people.

Sal (Playfully rolls eyes): Well, at the very least, our options suck, especially when it comes to Jessica and Bernadette.

Kye: I still think our best option is to try and bring in Charmer, and hopefully Aleigha's reaction will be better than we expect. I'm optimistic, personally.

Pedro: I agree. Hopefully we appeal to Charmer more than Elvis 'n' Miss Bernadette to. I'd feel more comfortable knowin' we have a solid five no matter what.

Sal and Kye both nod in agreement with Pedro's statement as the camera pans around and focuses on the air traffic control supervisor's face.

''The three men can now be seen returning to camp together as Charmer and Elvis make light conversation as they sit on the edge of the shelter. Sal, Kye, and Pedro come over and join the conversation, with Charmer greeting them warmly as the camera fades out.''

Immunity Challenge
An aerial shot of the Guyanese jungle now comes into view as the camera moves towards the beach. After a moment, the camera quickly zooms towards an aerial shot of the season's second immunity challenge, then switches to a ground level shot and pans around to show the three giant cages in the ocean, followed by the three challenge lanes on the beach before turning over to Jeff.

Jeff Probst: Come on in, guys!

We then see the Orealla tribe entering the challenge arena first with K.C. carrying the tribe flag, followed by a shot of the Wai Wai tribe entering as Evander carries their tribe flag, and finally followed by a shot of the Ingariká tribe entering as Kye carries their tribe flag. Once the three tribes have assembled on their respective mats, the camera turns over to Jeff.

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

Castaways: YES!

Jeff Probst: Alright, first thing's first, Sheila and Bernadette. I need to take back the immunity statues.

Jeff walks over to Sheila, then to Bernadette, who hands him the idols. He then puts them back together and sets the full immunity idol on its perch and faces the tribes.

Jeff Probst: Once again, immunity is back up for grabs.

Jeff then goes on to explain the rules of the immunity challenge, which is dubbed Serpent Turf and reminds the tribes that the losing tribe will head to Tribal Council and vote the second person out of Survivor: Guyana.

Jeff Probst: Orealla, Ingarikó, since you guys each have one extra member, you each must sit someone out. However, since the same person can't sit out in back-to-back challenges, Bernadette and Ella must compete in this one.

Pedro then Sheila are shown raising their hands, offering to sit out.

Jeff Probst: Alright Pedro, Sheila, take a spot on the sit-out bench. Everyone else, I'll give you a minute to strategize, then we'll get started.

After a time-skip, the three tribes are shown in position, ready to begin the challenge.

Jeff Probst: Here we go, for immunity... Survivors ready... GO!!


 * Wai Wai get out to an early lead as they are the first full tribe to make it to their cage and climb inside, though Orealla is close behind them.
 * For Ingarikó, Bernadette is very noticeably slowing them down, being by far the slowest to get to the cage, and also having great difficulty climbing it.
 * Wai Wai and Orealla both pick up their snake and attempt to ascend the cage once again, around the same time.
 * Pat and Neville on Wai Wai, and Irene and Ella on Orealla each noticeably have trouble picking up the snake and holding onto it, though each of them are clearly trying their best. As the two tribes attempt to climb the cage, Wai Wai still has a slight lead.
 * At this point, Bernadette finally drops into the water for Ingarikó, allowing them to finally try and retrieve their snake.
 * Slightly impatient over Orealla's slow progress climbing the cage, K.C. volunteers to take Irene's part of the snake, and encourages her to climb ahead of him. Billy sees this transpire, and follows suit by doing the same with Ella.
 * This allows Orealla to move up the cage more quickly, and they are the first tribe to get to the top and dump their snake down to the other side.
 * Wai Wai is the second tribe to reach the top of their cage, jumping down to the other side after Orealla has made some progress heading back to the beach with their snake.
 * Bernadette is barely any help at all with Ingarikó's snake, finding it too heavy. This gets Jessica B. frustrated, with the attorney screaming at Bernadette to "just start climbing out, already!"
 * Orealla is the first tribe to make it back to shore, while Ingarikó is only half-way up their cage at this point.
 * Bernadette is still really struggling to climb out of the cage, with Elvis trying to physically push her up, as his portion of the snake is on his shoulder.
 * Wai Wai makes it to shore as Orealla digs through their snake for their numbered tiles, and Ingarikó just makes it to the top of their cage.
 * Though Orealla are the first to find their numbered tiles, they have difficulty solving the combination lock, nearly allowing Wai Wai to catch right up.
 * However, Ella solves the combination just as Wai Wai begin to start working on their's.
 * At this point, Ingarikó is struggling to make it across the balance beam, with Bernadette having the most trouble.
 * Anu solves the combination for Wai Wai just as Ingarikó finally make it across.
 * There is a learning curve when it comes to throwing the rings. As such, Orealla ends up allowing Wai Wai to catch up to them, having not landed any by the time Wai Wai solved their combination.
 * Seeming to have found a new burst of energy, Ingarikó rips through their snake and quickly retrieves their numbered tiles, just as Billy lands the first ring for Orealla.
 * Ingarikó do have trouble solving their combination lock however, finally finishing when Orealla has already landed 4 rings, and Wai Wai has landed 3.
 * Kye lands the first ring for Ingarikó on only his second throw, with Elvis landing a ring shortly after.
 * Soon, Orealla has 7 rings landed, while Wai Wai has 5, and Ingarikó has 3.
 * A few moments later, Kelly-Ann lands one more ring for Orealla, winning the challenge.

Jeff Probst: Kelly-Ann does it! OREALLA, WINS IMMUNITY! We're looking for one more!


 * As Orealla celebrates their win, the two newbie tribes continue fighting hard.
 * After a few minutes, Wai Wai has 7 rings landed, while Orealla has 5. Anu then throws the next ring, landing it, and winning Wai Wai their first challenge.

Jeff Probst: It connects! WAI WAI HAS WON THEIR FIRST CHALLENGE! Safe from Tribal Council!

''The Wai Wai tribe loudly celebrate their victory, while the Ingarikó tribe are left dejected, especially Elvis. We then see one last brief shot of Wai Wai's celebration, with the camera focusing specifically on the excitement on Arthur's face, before a time-skip takes us to Jeff standing in front of the three tribes.''

Jeff Probst: Orealla, congratulations!

The tribe of returning players cheer as Probst walks the jaguar portion of the immunity statue over to them and passes it to Ella.

Jeff Probst: Once again, no Tribal Council for you tonight. Grab your stuff, head back to camp. Enjoy the night off.

''The Orealla tribe does as Jeff instructs. Once they have left the challenge arena, the host turns to Wai Wai.''

Jeff Probst: Wai Wai, for the first time in this game, immunity is yours.

''Jeff walks the portion of the immunity statue that makes up the hill of skulls over to Wai Wai as the tribe excitedly clap. Anu takes the statue from Jeff as the host returns to his spot.''

Jeff Probst: Nobody from Wai Wai going home. You guys can grab your stuff and head back to camp. Enjoy.

''The Wai Wai tribe thank Jeff as they do as instructed by the host. Once Wai Wai has exited the challenge arena, Probst turns his attention to Ingarikó.''

Jeff Probst: Ingarikó, after that disastrous start in the water, you nearly came back towards the end, but it just wasn't enough. Tribal Council tonight, and one of you will become the second person voted out of Survivor: Guyana. You guys have the afternoon to figure out who that's going to be. Grab your stuff, head back to camp. I'll see you at Tribal.

''The Ingarikó tribe now proceeds to gather their belongings and make their way back to camp in a slingle-file line. Elvis picks up the tribe flag, and the camera pans around to focus on Bernadette, followed by Jessica B., Pedro, Kye, and finally returning to Elvis just before switching to the tailor's confessional.''

As Elvis's confessional finishes, the camera focuses on Pedro one last time before fading to black.
