User blog:Tozza6/Survivor: Sulawesi - Original Draft

Ever wondered how Sulawesi was originally going to be played out? Well, here is my VERY FIRST draft on things happened. Obviously, things were changed dramatically, but for those that were curious, here is my original draft. Enjoy! :D

Seasonal

 * The biggest change that I made this season was...wait for it...#RATASHA was not about Natasha being a rat, it was actually Ryan and Natasha's showmance name. Yeah, Ryan and Natasha were originally a thing but it was scrapped due to being too unnatural when it came around to writing it.
 * Regan winning the game was also another big one that I decided to get rid of because I thought it would be too obvious. Having Dale win I thought would be more of a surprise, especially considering how much I planned on hyping up Brian's strategic game. Also, I really wanted Regan's speech in there as well.

Episode 1

 * No change.

Episode 2

 * On the Beauty tribe, Ryan and Natasha really hit it off, which causes Miles to become infuriatingly jealous of them. Braiden approaches him and Miles agrees that Natasha was playing him and the two plan on voting her out. Braiden feels confident that Ryan would go along with what he says, but Ryan actually sticks with Natasha and Dakota to vote Miles out (Natasha wanted Braiden to go, but Dakota and Ryan convinced her).

Episode 3

 * Instead of Braiden finding the idol, Amber is able to find it.
 * The Kuning Six splits the vote 3-3 instead of 4-2, and on the revote the whole tribe blindsides Andrew and votes Cooper out for similar reasoning.

Episode 4

 * No change.

Episode 5

 * The same thing basically happens, except Ryan reunites with Natasha and Dakota, and while they all initially agree to vote Liberty out, Liberty convinces them to vote out Braiden, which they all do. Ryan ultimately did it because he could not convince Braiden to vote for Liberty because Braiden "trusted her".

Episode 6

 * The thought of splitting the votes is never discussed, and Liberty is instead voted out unanimously. Liberty tries to convince people that Natasha has two idols, but realises that Ryan/Dakota/Natasha are too tight and decides to try to convince them that Andrew was going to vote them out. It didn't work.

Episode 7

 * No change.

Episode 8

 * The whole Alex/Natasha fight doesn't happen until the next episode, therefore, the Merah Alliance do not have the numbers to split the vote. Brian and Ryan still have their cross-alliance alliance, and Brian is able to get Ryan to get his girls to vote Nikki out (who Brian did not trust). Natasha still used her other idol on Ryan, just in case.

Episode 9

 * The Alex/Natasha fight over the idol clue DOES happen this episode, and Natasha is pissed off so much that she begins gunning for Alex full throttle. She tells the Merah Alliance a lie, saying that she saw Alex find the idol, and that she/Ryan/Dakota would be willing to band together and blindside her with the "idol". Everyone agrees, but secretly Regan and Jenifer feel that Brian/Amber/Dale/Jomar are way too tight and need to strike now before it's too late. So, they convince Natasha/Ryan/Dakota to blindside Amber with them. (Alex votes for Regan, who was the decoy vote set by Natasha/Ryan/Dakota)

Episode 10

 * Jomar/Brian/Dale are mad at Regan/Jenifer, but the ladies say it was a one time thing. Alex, on the other hand, also feels betrayed by her alliance for keeping her in the dark. The next day, Alex has a breakdown and Dale comforts her, inviting her to join his alliance, which she accepts.
 * Ryan/Natasha/Dakota agree with Jenifer/Regan to take out Alex this time, but Jenifer/Regan have other plans. They now want to split up Ryan/Natasha/Dakota and plan to vote Natasha out with Alex/Jomar/Dale/Brian. However, Alex/Jomar/Dale/Brian agree that Jenifer/Regan are too untrustworthy and plan to use the 4-3-2 split to send Jenifer home (Regan has immunity). Right before the vote, Ryan notices that Regan/Jenifer are talking with the other side too much, so he tries to convince Brian (his cross-alliance ally) to vote with them to send Alex home. Brian doesn't go through with it, and sticks with voting Jenifer out.

Episode 11

 * Brian and Ryan talk and agree that they both lied to each other once (Ryan with voting Amber, Brian with voting Jenifer) and agree to stay on the same page. Meanwhile, Alex/Jomar/Brian/Dale plan on grabbing Regan (who has no allies) and voting out Natasha to split up the Natasha/Ryan/Dakota threesome. On the other hand, Natasha/Ryan/Dakota STILL want Alex gone and Ryan plans on bringing in Regan and Brian. Regan and Brian end up as swing votes, and due to Brian feeling that Jomar and Dale are "replacing him" with Alex, they end up blindsiding Alex.

Episode 12

 * Brian explains his move, and Jomar/Dale agree to forgive him but still want to keep an eye on him. At the same time, Ryan wants to make his "big move" to take out his showmance, Natasha, who was developing quite a resume and was closer to Dakota than to him. So, he flips over to Brian/Dale/Jomar and they plan on sending Natasha home. However, Regan gets the same game advantage at the auction and is able to convince Dale/Jomar that they need to get rid of Brian (similar to what happened in the real thing). Brian wins immunity, but he does not use his idol on Ryan, and he is sent home.

Episode 13

 * Brian is shocked, but has no choice but to get back into Jomar/Dale's good graces. They then agree that Natasha/Dakota have to be split up and with Regan, plan on voting out the former. Regan considers flipping and going to rocks, and since Dale had immunity, agrees with Natasha/Dakota to vote for Jomar in hopes of Brian drawing the purple rock. However, she decides it was too risky and plays it safe. Brian even plays his idol because he is so paranoid about Regan flipping.

Episode 14

 * Regan/Dakota know they have to work together and try to convince Brian to side with them and vote Dale out. They are unsuccessful and Dakota is sent home because Regan has immunity.
 * Brian wins immunity, and it looks like all hope is lost for Regan. However, after a massive campaign about how Dale would win the game, is able to convince Brian that it would be in his best interest to let her go to fire. She wins the fire breaking tiebreaker against Dale, making the Final Three Brian, Jomar and Regan.
 * Jomar is criticised for coattail riding, Brian is criticised for his lack of connections, paranoia and arrogance, while Regan is praised for being an underdog and being able to fight her way to the end, crowning her Sole Survivor.

The reason I changed things so much is because I thought that this was WAY too unrealistic. Plus, I preferred the Alex boot the way it ended up in the final draft and had to change things accordingly.
