Pathetic, Pitiful and Pointless

Pathetic, Pitiful and Pointless is the sixth episode of Survivor: Temotu. The episode title was said by Alex Anderson.

Challenges
Reward Challenge:  T-Aisle Contestants will race up a tall ladder, and once to the top, will attempt to throw a ball off a platform, attempting to break their tribe's tiles that are lined up in a row at the bottom. Once they hit one or choose to give up, they will jump off the front of the platform, landing on a net below, before making their way back to their tribe mat, allowing the next to go. The first two teams to finish, both win reward. Reward: A spa day for both tribes, giving a chance to interact with each other, as well as soaps and shampoo to take back to camp. Winner: TBA & TBA

Immunity Challenge:  Train vs Brawn All four tribe members will have to put together a cart, assembling all the pieces in the correct spots, before having two people push it and the other two pull it by ropes, leading it along train tracks up a hill. Once to the top, two tribe members will need to take the four very heavy wheels, and one by one place them onto a table. Once finished, the other two members will then head up to the table, where they will need spin the wheels along axels, attempting to line it up correctly to reveal a combination. Once the combination is revealed, they will put it into a combination lock, which, if correct, will release a flag to drop down, signifying the completion. The first two tribes to drop down their flag, win immunity. Winners: TBA & TBA

Teanu Tribe
The camera opens to the Teanu tribe all returning from camp, with Corey sitting down and curling up into a small ball, visibly upset."teanu2"

- I thought everything on our tribe was going just fine, but, like, clearly I was wrong. I know that one incorrect vote isn't going to be, like, the end of my game, but it sucks to have the people you trust go after the person you were close to. It makes me feel like I'm at their mercy, but I want to be able to like, take charge of my own game. Noah: Corey, can we talk?

Corey: Can I just have a little bit of time?

Noah: I just want to talk...

Corey: I'll talk, I just need a minute.

Noah: I didn't trust Tyler, but I've got nothing against you.

Corey: Noah, please.

Amanda: Come on Noah, just save it for later.

Noah: Okay...

(Noah and Amanda both head into the shelter, leaving just Gordon and Corey by the fire.)"teanu2"

- Going against Corey was definitely a necessary thing for my game, but he doesn't see it that way at all. I knew he was close to Tyler, and so I wanted to ensure that Amanda and I were the ones that he trusted the most, but now he's getting salty over it. The least he could do is to talk to me, but he just doesn't want to, and I don't get it. The point of this game is to be able to make moves. Does he not see that? Gordon: How are you holding up?

Corey: Gordon, just... (sighing) not good...

Gordon: Sorry it went down like that, I didn't like it, but I knew it was me or him.

Corey: Yeah...

Gordon: Anyway, don't let it eat away at you. I'm off to bed. Goodnight.

Corey: Night..."teanu2"

- Noah came back to camp, got all up in Corey's face, and just made things worse. You see, there's a certain level of damage control needed in this game. I'd vote Corey out in a heartbeat, couldn't give two [expletive]'s about him being sad about Tyler going, but you have to fake it until you make it. Emotions get high out here, so pandering to that is what will keep me around. He's currently hanging from the edge of a cliff, so I'll smile in his direction, but I'm not reaching out a hand to pull him up. One less person to beat. (As Gordon walks away, the camera focuses on Corey.)"teanu2"

- Here's the thing. Noah came to talk to me, and he meant well, but went about it, like, the wrong way. Gordon came to talk to me, and he like, literally was just trying to exploit me, but did so reassuringly. He's just so, like, grossly fake, but I think I need to just suck it up and push through. I do feel kinda like I'm on the outs now, so something will have to change. I didn't literally come all the way out into a remote group of islands to sit back and let someone else dictate me, so, like, I'm going to make this work. I'll fight to stay, and it's time for Corey the nice guy, to become Corey that wins this game. Following Corey's confessional, he is shown smiling, before the camera cuts away to the forest.

Banie Tribe
The camera pans back from the forest, this time at the Banie camp, where everyone is sat around the fire relaxing."banie2"

- With us not needing to worry about anything in terms of a vote for at least a few more days, it was pretty cool being able to just chill. It really makes me feel at home, because me and my friends would all just kick back and play stupid little games like truth or dare or never have I ever all the time. I'm really beginning to like this little group. Margot: ...and that's pretty much why I dyed my hair purple.

Matt: Huh. Interesting.

Margot: Anyone else got an interesting story?

Samantha: Okay. So you know how I live in Vegas, right?

Cameron: Yeah?

Samantha: Well, across from where I do all my chemist stuff, there's a strip club.

Margot: I like where this is going.

Samantha: Basically, we were just about to close up shop, when a bunch of college kids that were either drunk, high, or both, just busted in through the door, clearly thinking they were across the street, and just turned to me and said, "yo why aren't you naked?"

(Everyone breaks out in laughter.)

Matt: What did you do?

Samantha: I was just so confused, because there were these wasted guys suddenly wondering why I had clothes on, but then I realised that they thought it was the club, and when I told them they had the wrong place, they all suddenly left, but one guy just had the most disappointed look on his face as he waved goodbye.

Margot: Oh my god, you crushed his heart!

Cameron: He wanted you Samantha! Not the strippers!

(Everyone continues laughing, as the camera focuses in on Samantha.)"banie2"

- My tribe is at a stage right now where we're actually getting along really well, and it's a great thing. I'm pretty damn happy with how everything's going, just after us winning one challenge. It's like, we've found a turning point in my game, and it's all because I was able to survive through hell on earth at Utupia. Is this what it feels like to actually be safe in the game for once? It's such a nice change of pace to not have to worry about a vote, or a fire duel, and for once everything is falling in place. I just hope this continues. Following Samantha's confessional, the camera fades out.

Vanikoro Tribe
A shot of the sun rising and the night turning to day is shown, with ominous music playing, as sobbing is heard off camera, with the camera then panning into the forest to where Tiffany is sitting, resting against a log and crying."vanikoro2"

- I don't... I don't know if I can do this anymore... Jackson told me to keep fighting to stay in, but I just... I don't want to. Why would I put myself through this if I don't need the money? I don't need this, I'm successful already... like, why would I do this to myself? (Tiffany lies down on the ground, with the camera then cutting to the tribe shelter, where everyone is concerned with her disappearance.)

Lacey: Where do you think she is this time?

Jackson: No idea, but I just hope she doesn't do something stupid..."vanikoro2"

- The last time Tiffany went off like this, she was about to throw in the towel and give up, but I thought we had spoken about it enough to where she was going to be okay, but she's gone again. I really, truly thought she'd stick it out, so I hope she's just off for a walk and not actually going to quit... (As everyone continues to worry about Tiffany, a boat is shown driving in from the distance.)

Ashley: Guys, someone's coming in...

Jackson: Is that Jeff?

(The boat reaches the shore further down the beach, with the tribe seeing Jeff step off and head into the forest.)

Lacey: That can't be good...

(The camera then cuts into the forest, where Tiffany is blankly staring into space, as Jeff sits down next to her.)

Probst: So, I hear you wanted to see me.

Tiffany: Yeah... I just... I don't want to be here.

Probst: When you say that, are you meaning you want to quit?

Tiffany: Y... yeah. I'm throwing in the towel.

Probst: Just so I can understand this, what's your reason for it?

Tiffany: I have a life I want to get back to. I'm miserable out here, and I know there's people here that need a million dollars. I have multiple platinum level albums, I don't need to be out here.

Probst: How does the perception this will have weigh in with you?

Tiffany: I know fans of me will be disappointed, and fans of Survivor will hate me. I just can't take it out here anymore, and I want to leave.

Probst: Well, it seems your mind is made up, come with me and we'll head out on the boat.

(The two both get up, as the tribe sees Tiffany board the boat, and Jeff approaches the tribe members.)

Probst: So as you can probably tell, Tiffany has decided to quit the game.

(Alex rolls her eyes at this.)

Probst: This might seem unfair, it might seem like she's turning her back on you, but this is how the game goes for some people. And so, the game continues.

Jackson: Thanks Jeff.

(Jeff turns and heads away, boarding the boat, and leaving, with the camera refocusing on the rest of Vanikoro.)

Lacey: Well, crap. We're down a member.

Jackson: I thought we'd sorted through everything, but I guess not..."vanikoro2"

- Tiffany, if you're watching this, I don't hate what you did, but I'm disappointed with you. You had a chance to be strong and fight through things, and you let not only me down, not only our tribe down, but you let yourself down. From here, my game is looking a bit more promising, because Lacey and I are now even numbered with the other two, but still, this is such an empty feeling. I just hope this doesn't effect our tribe too much... (The camera then cuts to Alex, who has a look of pure disgust on her face.)"vanikoro2"

- I'm disgusted with Tiffany. To leave us behind, in a terrible spot numbers-wise, it's just unforgivable. Sure, she doesn't need money, and I don't either, but it's not the point. As a fan of this show, for her to do that, it's the ultimate in terms of disservice to this show. I'm stuck in a terrible spot because of her, and I'm just pissed off. I hope wherever she is she's comfortable, because if we cross paths ever again, I'll be tearing her apart. [expletive]'ing bitch... Following this, the camera fades out.
