I'm Sending Your Whiny Ass Back Home!/Part 2

This is the second part to the premiere of Survivor: Royals vs. Rebels. If you have not yet read, You can do so here.

Tikehau Tribe
''A defeated tribe returns to camp, filled with angst due to the impending tribal. Cloe and Carly both seem to be holding down internal anger.''

Nash: Well, we lost, but we gotta overcome this, you know? Lets just sort this out and, uh, avoid any chaos.

Cloe: Sorry, but I'm just feelin' a little pissed off right now.

Carly: What happened?

Cloe: Oh, you know what it is, Carly.

Carly: Actually I don't. Enlighten me, Cloe. What did I do?

Cloe: Girl, you spent more time bitching than you did solving the puzzle!

''Leonard, Nash, Kenna and Vance walk away from the chaos, and say they are going to fill up canteens. Elliot puts his head down but stays, knowing he'll end up getting involved.''

Carly: I mean, you can't just put all of the blame on me, none of this would've happened if you just listened to me.

Cloe: Girl, really? Can't you just admit that maybe you're a little wrong?

Carly: Cloe, I'm not here to argue.

Imani: No girl, she can argue if she wants. You and Elliot have been nothing but annoying and bratty this whole time, and now you're getting mad at us?

Elliot: Why did you have to bring me into this? What have I done to you?

Imani: Oh, you really think I haven't noticed all the scheming you've been doing behind my back? Well, news flash, you're not sneaky.

Elliot: I have no idea what you're talkin' about, girl.

Imani (raising voice): Don't you dare call me girl, bitch!

Elliot: Jesus, sorry Imani! I don't know why you're getting so fed up with this, what did I do that was so rude?

Imani: I never said you were rude, I just said that you're annoying as hell, with all the strategy and whining about capitalism.

Elliot: Y'all know I can't stand those political arguments, I'm gonna stop you right there.

Imani: Make me, Elliot. All you've done since you got here is get into political conversations and target me and my girl Cloe, and I'm fed up with it.

Elliot (screaming): That's because I'm right! Stop talkin' to me with all your sass and complain about what I've been saying about this capitalistic world we're living in without actually paying attention to what I've been saying!

Imani: Oh, why don't you just shut up, we came here for a game, not to get into a political fight. I'm done with all of this petty shit.

''Imani walks off, and Cloe closely follows. Carly and Elliot stare at each other, and silently shrug, a bit confused at what had just happened. Hailee, who was in the shelter watching the event, walks off and goes to talk with the crowd of Nash, Kenna, Leonard and Vance. Carly, trying to get into some strategic talk following the blow-up, follows her. The next scene show the group of 6 talking, but this scene comes after a confessional from Carly.'' Hailee and Carly walk over to the group of four to see them filling up canteens and talking strategy, while Hailee and Carly come in and are welcomed with open arms.

Kenna: Oh, what's up, you two?

Hailee: Oh nothin', just wanted an escape from all of this.

Kenna (chuckles): Yeah, they are really getting a little crazy.

Nash: And it's only Day 3! They're ridiculous, we can't just have our day without people going mad.

Carly: Agreed, and by the way, if you think I wanted any part of this, I really didn't. Cloe just dragged me into a fight, so sorry if I created anything.

Leonard: Oh, that's totally cool, we know that Cloe and Imani seem to have started this shit.

Carly: I mean, in my opinion, that would be a valid reason to send her home. She's lazy, she's bratty, she's aggravating, and just overall brings bad vibes out here.

Hailee: Couldn't agree more, honestly. Nothing's set in stone yet, but that's definitely an idea.

Carly: Well, I gotta go, we can talk more on this later.

Vance: Bye Carly, we'll talk about what the hell we're doing later on.

Carly walks away from the group, and while she is not looking, Leonard rolls his eyes.

Leonard: Talk about overplaying...

Hailee: I agree, she's talking so much game, and she's tanking her own game. I was thinking about voting out Cloe, but now I feel like her or Elliot are really dangerous.

Nash: Well, we'll see what we come up with, but I'm pretty sure we're swing votes.

The group separates and walks back to the camp's main area, while Hailee gives her thoughts. After Hailee's confessional, the scene cuts to a different area of the jungle, where Imani can be shown visibly stewing while Cloe frowns nearby.

Imani: I cannot stand that bitch or her socialist boy toy!

Cloe: Right? She's decided that I'm on the bottom and she can treat me like s*** because of it.

Imani: Surely the other people have to be pissed off with them, right? There's no way they'll just go along with the two craziest people to ever walk on this f***ing planet.

Cloe: How are we going to convince them, though? We haven't really gotten to bond with any of them. (sighs) This feels so hopeless. I've been singled out as their target, and I'm on my way to the slaughter.

Imani (Supportive): No you're not, sweetie, not in a million years. We can't let them win! We have our bond with Vance, and he is in with the other people on this tribe. I can see him getting Leonard or Nash on board with us, and from there, you'll have a fighting chance. Please don't give up.

Cloe: (nods) You're right. As bad as this has gotten, it's only day three. No alliances are set in stone yet.

Imani: That's the spirit! (smiles) Let's go find Vance right now and see if we can't get him to fight for you to stay. If you ask me, Carly's days in this game are numbered.

The two women walk through the jungle for a bit, and the scene cuts ahead to show them talking with Vance.

Imani: Vance, do you have any idea of where people are leaning for the vote?

Vance: (smiles widely) They're not deadset on voting for you, Cloe, so there's hope we can switch this thing around.

Cloe (Excited): You want to save me!?

Vance: Are you kidding? Do you think I want to work long-term with Elliot and Carly? Hell no! I can't stand either of them, and Carly especially is playing her absolute hardest right now.

Imani: Boy, what you're saying is music to our ears.

Cloe: Do you think you could convince people to switch things up?

Vance (Unsure): I don't know. They're considering it as I said, but that doesn't mean they'll flip. All of them recognize Carly as a strategic threat, but flipping on an alliance so early makes you out to be untrustworthy which might stop them in their tracks.

Imani: Who do we have the best chance at flipping?

Vance: I'd say Leonard. He was the first one to mention Carly as somebody who plays too hard. He and Nash are close, so if we get one, we probably get the other. From there, we need either Emmett's vote or the votes from Hailee and Kenna.

Cloe: I'd prefer all three. I want Elliot to be all alone after we send Carly home, just to make his elimination that much more certain. (smiles deviously)

Vance: Hold on, who said we're voting Carly?

Imani (Raising an eyebrow): I'm sorry? You don't want to vote out the crazy strategist lady first?

Vance: Not over the crazy socialist guy, no. (pauses) It's just... I think Carly trusts me. I know it's partly selfish to keep her, but as long as I'm around, I feel like she wouldn't flip. That, or she's smart enough to know that flipping will screw her over; either way, if we don't lose another immunity after this, Elliot is far more likely to flip.

Cloe: But I f***ing hate Carly! She's gunning for me hardcore. I don't feel comfortable with her still in the game.

Vance: I get that, I really do, and it's just an idea, but we need to think about what's best for the whole tribe.

Imani (Exasperated): Ugh, who gives a s***? I just want one of them gone tonight. I don't care who; they're both awful.

Cloe: Fair. (laughs)

Vance: Yeah, we need to focus on getting the votes before we pick which one should go. I'll go talk to Leonard really fast and see where his head's at.

''As Vance leaves the conversation, the scene focuses on Cloe, who appears to be cautiously smiling after her conversation with the tattoo artist. The scene cuts to her confessional.'' After Cloe's confessional, the scene skips ahead a few minutes later, showing Leonard and Vance walking together through the jungle, discussing the upcoming vote.

Vance: So, is the vote Cloe?

Leonard: I think so. She's weaker in challenges than Imani is and that showed today. At least, that's what Carly and Elliot want to happen. (rolls his eyes)

Vance (Relieved): Thank God you're just as annoyed with them as I am. They're playing this game recklessly hard right now.

Leonard: No joke. Carly won't stop running around like a little weasel, foraging for votes. It's getting on my last nerve.

Vance (Continuing): Honestly, if she and Elliot are playing this hard this early, how the Hell are we going to rely on them to stay loyal at a swap or merge? If either of them sees one of us as a threat, they'll take us out without even thinking twice.

Leonard (Intrigued): Are you suggesting-

Vance (Interjecting): (nods) Yes, I am. I think it'd be best to split them up. Specifically, I want to see Elliot go home.

Leonard: That's a huge move. (raises an eyebrow) Why Elliot?

Vance: Even though she's super untrustworthy, Carly does seem to have some trust in me, and I think that alone would keep her somewhat on our side during a swap or merge. Elliot would have nobody and would flip a lot easier if we voted Carly off, don't you think?

Leonard: (shrugs) I guess that's true. I also want to win challenges, though, and Carly wasn't the most helpful today. Elliot is a young guy; he definitely has potential in him.

Vance: If we really want to keep the tribe strong, we'd vote Cloe. I'm not even trying to say she's not the weakest. I just want to make the best strategic move overall. Elliot is strong, yeah, but he's not good for us in a strategic sense.

Leonard: I don't know, Vance... (sighs) I don't want to look like a flip-flopper. I agreed to this alliance with Elliot and Carly, and going back on that makes me look untrustworthy.

Vance: Hey, I would be flipping too, so it wouldn't be all your fault. You can also work on getting Nash, Hailee, and Kenna, and Emmett on board so that all of you share the blame. I mean, in the end, Carly and Elliot themselves are untrustworthy.

Leonard: (nods) Fair point. The move is really tempting, but I don't want to strike at the wrong time. I don't see myself in danger for a while and we'll pretty much always have the numbers to make a move after we get rid of our weakest member. I'm sorry, but I can't promise anything.

Vance: (smiles) Don't worry about it. Just let me know what you've decided and who else is flipping if you are. I don't want to get left out to dry.

Leonard: You won't, man, I wouldn't let that happen to you. We're in this together. (smiles)

Vance: Talk to you later.

''With a smile on his face, Vance turns back to the main area of camp, leaving Leonard to consider his arguments. As the latter continues walking through the jungle, he appears to be deep in thought, paying little attention to his surroundings. The scene cuts to his confessional.'' After Leonard's confessional, he is shown sitting on the beach next to Nash.

Nash: I don't like that look in your eye. What's up?

Leonard: Okay. How would you feel about voting Elliot or Carly out tonight?

Nash (Surprised): You want to get them out this early?

Leonard: (chuckles) I'm guessing you don't like the idea.

Nash: (shakes his head) It's not that I don't like it, those two are for sure threats, I'm just surprised. Where is this coming from?

Leonard: (whispers) Vance came up to me earlier and said he wanted to blindside Elliot. Something about how he's overplaying and would flip on us if we're too threatening. Truth be told, I kind of agree.

Nash: I do too. It's no secret that Carly especially is playing this game hard. (raises an eyebrow) Why does Vance want Elliot out? He's not as big of an overplayer and he's stronger in challenges.

Leonard: He said something about Carly trusting him. He argued she'd be less likely to flip, but this whole plan seems so selfish on his part. We're getting rid of the only person he doesn't trust and keeping around Cloe and Imani, who I think have a secret deal with Vance. (shakes his head) I don't trust him at all, but he is right. Carly and Elliot are dangerous moving forward.

Nash: Yeah, you shouldn't trust Vance. I've seen him chatting with Cloe and especially Imani all the time. They're for sure working together.

Leonard: (sighs) Of course...

Nash: Still, as you said, he's right. Elliot is a strategic threat, and he made tons of alliances the first day out here. He's a lot harder to predict than Cloe. Also, after tonight if she stays, Cloe will only want to get Carly out, which means we avoid the line of fire.

Leonard: Damn, I didn't think about that, but you're right. Keeping those two women around also keeps them at each other's throats. (shakes his head) Still, do we want to give Vance power in this game?

Nash: I mean, if he came up to you over everyone else, that must mean he wants to work with you, so is he really as bad as you say?

Leonard: (shrugs) I have no clue. This is a huge toss-up for me.

Nash: It is for me, too. We'd be tearing our day-one alliance to shreds.

Leonard: Sometimes, alliances are meant to be broken. (shrugs)

''After a few moments, Leonard and Nash both stand and approach the main area of camp. They are shown tapping Hailee and Kenna on their shoulders, and the group of four walks away into the jungle. As this occurs, Nash's confessional plays.'' Nash is then shown standing with Hailee, Kenna, and Leonard in the jungle.

Hailee: Is there a change of plans?

Leonard: Maybe. Vance wants to get rid of Elliot, and the four of us are the ones who get to choose if we're on board or not.

Kenna (Shocked): Whoa, what? What is going on? Why did it change?

Leonard: I think that Vance has some sort of alliance with Cloe and wants to save her. He thinks that Elliot and Carly are playing the game too hard and would be liabilities for us down the line.

Hailee: I mean... he's not wrong. (shrugs)

Kenna: Yeah, but should we really be making moves like that this early?

Nash: I was worried about that, too. We also need to keep the tribe strong, which Cloe isn't going to do.

Kenna: A happy compromise would be voting Carly. Why doesn't Vance want to get rid of her? Why Elliot?

Leonard: Carly trusts Vance and would stay loyal for that reason; at least, she's more likely to than Elliot. We can always vote Carly though if we want to, we'd have the votes.

Hailee: Let's not get carried away here. That would make everyone else on the tribe not trust us. We're either voting Elliot or Cloe, or we're convincing Vance to switch to Carly.

Kenna: (shakes her head) This is insane. Why can't everyone calm down and vote out the weakest player?

Nash: It might be too late for that. People are playing this game hard, and we have to play hard or we'll get left behind. I would trust Cloe to stay Tikehau strong more than I'd trust Carly or Elliot to. They'll do whatever they can to get themselves ahead.

Hailee: (nods) Nash is right. Challenge strength is important, but so is loyalty. We can't have both of them running around like headless chickens during a swap or merge, which they would do, no question.

Leonard: That's why it might be a good idea to make the move. We'd also have Cloe, Imani, and Vance solid with us 'cause we saved all three of them.

Kenna: On the flipside, Carly will be royally pissed and play even harder than she has before.

Leonard: (shrugs) She can dig her own grave if she wants. I get the concern, though, that she'd sell us down a river right when she gets the chance.

Hailee: There is a lot to consider, that's for sure.

''Kenna nods and frowns slightly as the other three continue to discuss the vote. Gradually, the sound of the conversation fades out and is replaced with the audio from her confessional.'' ''Once Kenna's confessional is over, a brief time-lapse is shown, indicating that it is now the early evening and the sun is beginning to set. Because of this, the castaways begin grabbing their things in preparation for Tribal Council. Cloe and Imani are shown sitting together, watching the other eight castaways pack their things. Carly and Elliot both notably pack very light, which causes Imani to roll her eyes. The scene cuts to her confessional.'' The camera then pans over to Carly and Elliot, who are now sitting next to each other by the fire.

Carly: Everything's good, right?

Elliot: (scoffs) Obviously. Don't worry about a thing. It should be eight votes for Cloe tonight.

Carly: (smiles) Okay.

''As Carly sits in silence and nerves, the camera pans over to Elliot, who has a smile on his face. The scene cuts to his confessional.''

After Elliot's confessional, the camera cuts abruptly over to Hailee and Kenna, who are packing their belongings up side-by-side.

Hailee (Whispering): What are we doing tonight?

Kenna: We're sticking with the plan.

''Hailee nods, then shoves her last few belongings into her bag. As she begins walking out of camp and towards Tribal Council with the rest of the Tikehau tribe, the scene cuts to her confessional.'' After Hailee's confessional, the camera zooms out to show the ten members of the Tikehau tribe filing out of their camp and towards Tribal Council before the scene fades to black.
