Challenges[]

Reward Challenge: Matt Finish
Tribes must collect a bag of balls from an obstacle in the water, then shoot each ball through a net before attempting to land them on top of a narrow perch. The first two tribes to land all three balls on their perch win.
Reward: For the winning tribe, comfort in the form of blankets, pillows, a mosquito net, a hammock, and an extra large tarp. The second place tribe wins only a medium sized tarp.

Immunity Challenge: Ow-Pairs
Each tribe will choose one person to be their caller. The rest of the tribe will be blindfolded. Using only verbal commands, the caller will instruct three pairs of blindfolded tribe members to collect three bags containing one ball each. Once they have all three bags, they will take off the blindfolds and, one at a time, work to put the three balls in the center of a table maze. Once a tribe member succeeded to put one ball at the center of the maze, they could not help their tribe mates any more for the remaining balls. The first tribe to finish wins immunity.

Story[]

Night 6[]

Ingariko[]

The program opens on the sixth night of the game following the blindside of Pedro, the air traffic control supervisor form New Orleans, Louisiana. The Ingarikó tribe is shown returning to camp from Tribal Council in the darkness, each of them leaning their torches against the shelter one-by-one. The camera then focuses on Elvis, who has a huge smile across his face as he turns to face his tribe.

Elvis (Enthusiastic): Woo! We did it, everyone! We made it through our first vote! Congratulations!

Elvis now starts clapping and is soon joined by Charmer. Sal, Kye, and Bernadette then each reluctantly join in, lightly clapping for a few seconds. Meanwhile, Jessica B. leans against the shelter, apprearing uninterested, while a frowning Aleigha stands off to the site with her arms crossed.

Elvis: Now we just need to come together, put all that crap behind us, and be an Ingarikó family again!

Many tribe members slightly nod in apparent agreement with this, though Jessica B. can't help but rolls her eyes as she turns around to walk away. The camera then refocuses on Elvis and switches to his confessional.

ELVIS
	"Just as I expected, your King of Survivor reigns supreme at Tribal Council! (Laughs) Pedro thought he could just get close to my allies and lure them away from me, but that was not happening under my watch! No way, José! Now, the next step in my quest to conquer this game is to establish a solid majority alliance since I don't like or trust Jessica and would rather not have her as my fourth if I can help it. (Smirks devilishly) I got a plan though. In due time, I'll have my majority. King Elvis shall reign supreme by any means necessary." (Winks then laughs)

Following Elvis's confessional, he can be seen walking with Bernadette in a more secluded area of the camp. Although Elvis couldn't be in a happier mood, the hairstylist and fitness instructor appears somewhat saddened, which concerns the tailor.

Elvis: What's wrong, Bernadette? We did it! Pedro is gone-za!

Bernadette (Forces a giggle): I know, and I'm happy to still be here. It's just... (sighs) I thought we'd have five votes on our side, but we only had four... and there was a stray vote against me. I'm still worried that I can be in danger, Elvie! What if we can't trust Kyle or Jessica like we thought?

Elvis (Giggles): You've got nothing to worry about whatsoever, dear Bernadette! Remember how I said Pedro wanted you out?

Bernadette (Nods): Yeah?

Elvis: That vote against you must've come from him. I'm certain that Jessie voted with us, Pedro voted you, and those other three voted Jessie. You are in zero danger and have no reason to be worried.

Bernadette: Thank you so much, Elvie! That makes me feel better.

Elvis (Giggles): I knew it would.

ELVIS
	"Truthfully, I have no bloody idea who voted who at Tribal, besides the fact that Jessica probably voted with us 'cause it was me that had the pleasure of using my amazing powers of persuasion on her. But I couldn't really care less! I told Ol' Bernie that it must've been Pedro that voted for her 'cause I don't want her getting paranoid. Paranoia is bad for business in this game, and since I'll get us Bodacious, Charming, Enigmas the majority anyway, there's no reason for it whatsoever."

Bernadette: I just want you to know that you are my bestest friend out here. There is nobody I trust more than you in this game. Thank you so, so, so much for saving my hiney tonight, by the way.

Elvis (Smiles): My pleasure, Bernadette! I vow to keep that hiney of yours safe as long as possible. I know for fact you'll be one million percent loyal to me, just like I'll be one million percent loyal to you.

Bernadette: Yes, I promise to never write your name down, Elvie... unless it is to win the million.

BERNADETTE
	"I am beyond grateful to have Elvie in this game with me! Like, if he hadn't gotten those votes together to stop sweet Pedro from getting me out, well... I may very well be a goner! (Sighs) As much as I love Charmer, there's no doubt in my mind that Elvie is my number one, and for saving me tonight, he's earned that undying loyalty from me."

Once Bernadette's confessional has finished, Kye and Charmer are shown talking in a private area of the camp.

Kye (Calmly): Would you mind, uhhh... explaining your thought process behind voting Pedro out?

Charmer: I'm so sorry, Kye! You're not... mad, are you?

Kye (Sighs) No, but it does sadden me that you chose to vote Pedro out. He would've been loyal, Charmer. We all could've gone far in this game together.

Charmer: I know... (sighs) it's just that Bernadette was so paranoid, and I gave her my loyalty first. I also promised her I'd vote Pedro before you asked me to vote Jessica. I just know she'd be freaking out so bad right now if I voted differently. I couldn't do that to her.

Kye (Confused): So... where does that leave us? You gave me your idol, remember?

Charmer: Of course I remember! I'm loyal to you Kye, that is a promise. Bernadette is my ally, and she reminds me a little bit of my mommy... but you're my friend. I promise you that Jessica can go next. I'll do everything I can to make sure she does.

Kye (Nodding): Thanks for telling me, and that does make me feel a bit better. I was just hoping we could have Sal and Pedro with us too though. I know Pedro's gone, but if you want, I still want us to have a tight alliance with Sal at least.

Charmer: I'll do what I can to keep Sal safe too. Jessica and Aleigha will be the next two out of here if I have it my way.

Kye (Takes a deep breath): Hopefully then there'd be a swap or something after that. Just like you couldn't vote Bernadette, I can't vote Sal out of here.

KYE
	"Going into Tribal, I was really hoping that Charmer would accept the alliance of Sal, Pedro, and I by way of voting Jessica out of this game, but that just didn't happen. Instead, she chose to stick by Bernadette and vote out one of the two people that I knew had my back. I do believe I am safe on this tribe in the short term because of my connection to Charmer, but she did make it clear that on a strategic level, she's closer to Bernadette, and is therefore more loyal to her. Charmer is such a sweetheart, and it's impossible for me to be mad at her right now, and I do really appreciate that she was honest with me. (Sighs) But... what she says does make me hope for a swap before we attend too many Tribals 'cause I don't want to think about Sal and I being on the bottom of the tribe at this point in the game."

Charmer (Nervously): You promise you're not mad at me?

Kye: I promise. I'm not mad. I wish you would've voted with me, but I appreciate your honesty, and I do fully understand your perspective.

Charmer: Thank you... (sighs) that makes me feel a bit better.

"CHARMER"
	"It was so difficult choosing who to vote for at Tribal Council because I really like both Kye and Bernadette, and I wanna be as loyal as I can to both of them, but they were both voting for different people and wouldn't budge, so I had to pick between them! (Sighs) I just couldn't go against Bernadette, and I feel like Kye would more understanding about my situation than she would be, so I voted Pedro out. I was completely honest with Kye, and I hope he was too when he said he's not mad at me. (Sighs heavily) I just hope I don't have to choose between my best friend and my closest ally again in this game. Doing it tonight was bad enough, and I'm still worried I might've made the wrong move. (Sighs) I guess I can't go back now... hopefully it all works out in the end."

Meanwhile, Aleigha can be seen on the beach alone. Once Charmer's confessional finishes up, the scene switches over to Aleigha, who has a sad expression on her face as she lays on her back in the sand. After a few moments, the camera transitions to her confessional.

ALEIGHA
	"So... as it turns out, I was the only one to vote Bernadette tonight. (Sighs heavily) I f*ing wish I knew where it all went wrong. I thought I did the right thing by standing against Bernadette's bulls, and trying to get her out so Kye could play the game as he wants to, but I'm scared that all I did was isolate myself in the process. (Shakes head)* I'm not gonna give up... I can't give up now. I'm out here to prove that I can f*ing do this... that I'm strong... and resilient. I know I need to fight to get myself back in this game and into an alliance 'cause I'm so fing scared my days are numbered right now. I guess... (shrugs)* I just need to figure out how to pick myself back up again and do whatever damage control necessary to buy myself some extra time in this game."

Following Aleigha's confessional, we see one last shot of Aleigha laying down on the beach before the footage fades into this season's intro.

Day 7[]

Ingariko[]

The program re-opens on the seventh morning of the game, back at the Ingarikó camp. It is early in the morning, though we can see dark, threatening clouds beginning to roll in. With Pedro having been blindsided the previous night, Jessica B. is now the only one on this tribe who generally wakes up early in the morning, and this morning is no different. The attorney is shown wearing her blue, wool sweater and tan-coloured pants as she crouches by the fire pit with the flint and the machete, attempting to re-start the tribe's fire. As she does so, she can be seen muttering to herself, with her words appearing on the screen via subtitles.

Jessica B.: Of course I'm the only damn person awake now that Pedro's gone. Lazy pricks.

Soon, Jessica B. is successful at making fire, and she quickly crouches down to nurture the flame, before putting some logs on the fire to keep it going. Once she is satisfied with the height and strength on the fire, she sits down next to the fire pit for a few minutes to warm herself and catch her breath. After a few minutes, the attorney stands up and quietly makes her way back over to the shelter. She then carefully leans into it in order to rummage through her bag for something, but an envelope with the words "OPEN IN PRIVATE" in bold print across the front. Jessica B. appears confused as she picks up the envelope. The attorney then instinctively looks around the shelter, and lightly shuffles through the other bags, soon, a very similar envelope catches her eye, prompting the attorney to stop in her tracks and nod to herself, noting the person this bag belongs to.

Jessica B. (Muttering under breath): So Sal got one too...

The attorney then exits the shelter and quickly takes her envelope to a private area of the camp. As soon as she is far enough away that nobody can see or hear her, Jessica rips her envelope open and proceeds to remove its contents. As soon as she does so, Jessica B. gasps and her jaw falls right open as she instinctively places a hand over her mouth as the first thing the attorney sees is her cast photo with the word "DISAPPROVED" stamped across it in red ink. Jessica B. then carefully pulls out the note that had accompanied her stamped picture, then reads the note out loud.

Jessica B. (Reading): If you are reading this, the most recently voted out castaway has given you their Stamp of Disapproval, and selected you to receive a disadvantage in the game. The next vote you cast must be a Public Vote. This means that at the next Tribal Council you will not approach the voting booth to write someone's name down on the parchment. Instead, BEFORE the votes are cast, you are required to announce to the tribe the name of the person you are voting for. Once you announce the name of this person, your vote is considered final. It is up to you if you wish to share this information or keep it a secret until such time that you must announce your vote at your next Tribal Council. Good luck.

Jessica B. simply puts the note and her cast photo back in its envelope and shakes her head.

Jessica B. (Scoffs): Wonderful... just wonderful.

JESSICA B.
	"For whatever reason, I guess Pedro hated me enough to give me a disadvantage when he left. I guess it makes sense, he was obviously one of the people that tried to get the vote turned on me, after all. (Shakes head) I don't know what his problem with me is, but it's bad enough that I have to announce the next vote I cast in front of everyone and completely neuter any possibility of blindsiding my target. Based on the generic way this note placed in my bag opened, just mentioning the most recently voted out castaway, along with Jeff's cryptic statement to us before the first immunity challenge about people voted out influencing the game, I'm guessing these disadvantages are being given out after every Tribal Council. If I'm going to do well out here, I know I can't be getting much more of these, so it unfortunately appears as though my original game-plan is not going to pan out, and I somehow have to try to get people to like me even though I hate them to the core. (Sarcastically) YAY!" (Rolls eyes)

Following Jessica's confessional, she is now shown making her way back to camp, and placing her envelope, disadvantage, and stamped cast photo in the fire between two logs. As she does this, we can see in the distance that some castaways in the shelter are starting to stir as the scene transitions to another confessional from the attorney.

JESSICA B.
	"Admittedly, upon realizing that Pedro had given me a disadvantage upon being voted out, I was a bit confused as to why Sal was the only other person here with an envelope in his bag. (Shrugs) You'd think that with Sal and Pedro being best buds or something during Pedro's time here that the last thing he'd give Sal is a disadvantage... then it dawned on me. What if people voted out are giving one person a disadvantage and one person an advantage? That would make sense as to why Sal would have an envelope too. (Shrugs) Considering that, logically speaking, Sal's one of the people that tried to get me out last night, I promise that if he does have a secret advantage, I'll make darn sure that it doesn't stay secret for long."

Once the attorney's confessional has finished, we return to the main camp area, albeit later in the morning. The dark clouds that were rolling in are only getting thicker. Though it is still fairly early in the morning, it is rather hot and humid as Aleigha, Sal, Kye, Elvis, and Charmer are sitting around the fire. Soon, Aleigha looks up at the sky, and a concerned look comes across her face.

Aleigha: Uh oh. Those don't f***ing look friendly.

The other four around the fire nod in agreement with Aleigha. After a few more moments of relative silence, Sal stands up and takes off his blue hoodie.

Sal: Be right back, guys. I'm just gonna throw this in my bag.

Elvis: I'm amazed you were still wearin' that thing, I must say. I'd be sweating like a whore in church in this heat if I was wearin' that!

Sal (Chuckles): What can I say? It was pretty chilly last night, so I slept in it. Just haven't taken it off 'till now.

The camera pans around to show the shelter, and we can see Bernadette still sleeping in it. Nevertheless, Sal wanders over to the shelter to put his blue hoodie in his bag. As the comedian looks inside his bag however, he happens to notice what looks like a piece of paper sticking out. Sal's eyes go wide as pulls on the paper, only to realize that it is an envelope with the words "OPEN IN PRIVATE" in bold print across the front. Sal then places the envelope in the waistline of his underwear and brings his shirt down over it, then places his hoodie back in his bag. The comedian then quietly exits the shelter and wanders behind it towards the woods in order to find a more private location. After a few moments, we see Sal wandering through the woods as he breathes heavily and his heart races. Satisfied that he is far enough away from the camp, Sal takes the envelope out of his underwear, sits at the base of a large tree, and opens it. The comedian's eyes then go wide once again as he removes from the envelope his cast photo with the word "APPROVED" stamped across it in green ink. Sal can't help but smile and laugh to himself upon seeing this. He then flips to the note that accompanied his stamped photo and proceeds to read it out loud.

Sal (Reading): Congratulations, if you are reading this, the most recently voted out castaway has given you their Stamp of Approval, and selected you to receive an advantage in the game. You have been awarded the Legacy Advantage. Playing this advantage at Tribal Council BEFORE the votes are cast will grant you immunity for that round; however, you may ONLY play this advantage when there are: 18 castaways left in the game, 12 castaways left in the game, or 6 castaways left in the game. This advantage may only be played once and is non-transferable; however, if you are voted out with it in your possession prior to the final 6, you must will it to a castaway remaining in the game. If you hold onto this advantage past the final 6, this advantage will expire. It is up to you if you wish to keep this information a secret until such time you choose to play it. Good luck.

Sal lowers the note and lets out a heavy sigh. After a moment or so, he shakes his head and quietly says "Wow" to himself just before the scene switches to his confessional.

SAL
	"As disappointed as I am that the last vote didn't go my way, I guess the silver lining is that Pedro (finger quotes) "approved" of me enough to give me the Legacy Advantage. (Shakes head) I'm still shocked, to be totally honest with you, I was not expecting this at all, but I am thankful, and I guess this is a sign that I'm doing something right with my social game. (Chuckles softly) This tribe's a mess, honestly. After being in the minority at the last vote, I'm definitely worried about where I stand in this group and my chances of surviving the vote. Hopefully I can at least get to the final 18 so I can make use of this thing."

Once Sal's confessional is finished, he is shown returning to camp and sitting back down by the fire as the camera fades out.

Wai Wai[]

The scene now opens at the Wai Wai tribe on the seventh morning of the game, first showing the teal blue tribe flag as the thick clouds are rolling in. Pat and Whitney are shown talking and laughing with each other by the fire as the former cooks the rice before we are taken to a scene in the woods featuring Neville and Arthur hitting it off as they have a light-hearted conversation of their own. They are in the process of filling the tribe's water jugs as they start laughing while the YouTube Film Critic recalls an experience with a fan.

Arthur: I'm tellin' ya', she was just going all ga-ga over me, man! After a while, I went to the washroom to take a whiz, 'n' she straight-up follows me... into the men's washroom!

Upon hearing this, Neville gasps and nearly drops the water jug he was holding.

Neville: Pardon my asking, but did I hear that correctly? This female fan of yours followed you inside the gentlemen's washroom?!

Arthur (Laughs): Yes, yes she did! I found it hilarious myself, but lemme tell ya', some of the other guys in there looked so scared! The looks on faces were just priceless when they noticed she was in there.

Neville (Nods): Yes, I can certainly understand that sentiment.

Arthur: I think she had the craziest reaction of 'em all, to be honest with you. She was amazed at the sight of the urinals. Something tells me that she hadn't seen one before in her life.

Neville (Shrugs): I guess to someone that is unaware of what a urinal is or what it looks like, it probably does come across as a weird contaption, especially since I doubt she possessed the, ummm... (gestures to genital area) equipment to utilize them effectively.

Arthur (Nods; Laughs): I think you're exactly right, Neville, my man.

Neville: So what ended up happening after that?

Arthur: She did get outta there while I did my business, but she did wait outside the washroom door 'cause she wanted to talk to me some more 'n' take a picture. I ended up gettin' one of the other guys in the area to take a pic of us right outside the bathroom door 'n' made sure the sign reading "Men's" was in the shot.

Neville: You sure you're not making this up?

Arthur: I couldn't make this up if I tried, Neville! (Chuckles) We all had a good laugh over it though, especially her. I remember overhearin' her when she got back to her table with her friends talking all about how she saw urinals and describing what they looked like, and whatnot. (Shrugs) To be honest with ya', I dunno if she was more impressed by me or the urinals!

Neville: I would suggest that overall, she was more impressed by you, considering that your presence memorized you enough to follow you right into the gentlemen's washroom to begin with.

Arthur (Giggles): I dunno man, those urinals really caught her attention.

Neville: Look at it this way, did she have a photograph taken with you, or with the urinals?

Arthur (Laughing): Fair, fair, fair statement, Neville. I'll give you that one. I can't say I recall her taking a selfie with a urinal.

Neville (Smirking): So once again, I am correct.

NEVILLE
	"In the past few days since our tribe's inaugural Tribal Council went almost as horribly as it could for me, Evander has advised me to focus on my social game more, and I am attempting to take that advice. For the most part, it has been much easier said than done when it comes to each individual here with the exception of Arthur. I'm finding it so easy to converse with him, and some of the stories he has are hysterical. Socializing in general is hardly my forte, though I am hopeful that with the assistance of Arthur and Evander, my social standing in this tribe as a whole can improve and that these individuals I am playing the game with can trust me again."

Neville: So, Arthur...

Arthur: Yeah?

Neville: Would you like to discuss the game for a little while? There is a situation that I would appreciate obtaining your opinion on.

Arthur: Sure thing.

Neville: Thank you. So, I am aware that we have previously been discussing the possibility that prior to our inaugural Tribal Council, Whitney may have divulged to Jessica our plans to oust her from the competition.

Arthur: Yeah.

Neville: In light of that, have you noticed that Whitney has gotten substantially closer to Pat on a personal level in the past few days?

As Arthur contemplates Neville's question, the scene briefly switches to the main camp area to show Whitney and Pat laughing together by the fire before returning to the current conversation.

Arthur: Yeah... now that I think about it, they do seem like they're getting closer, don't they?

Neville: Do you presume that, with the sudden emergence of Whitney's relatively close friendship with Pat that she may have divulged our plans to Jessica after all? (Arthur raises an eyebrow) Is it not peculiar that after Jessica and her closest ally are suddenly spared at Tribal Council, our supposed ally suddenly seems close with the individual that would've otherwise gone home?

Arthur (Sighs): Yeah, I have noticed that, but I was hoping that's just a mere coincidence. I talked with Anu about the possibility of Whitney leaking our Tribal plans to Jessica, but Anu refuses to believe that theory.

Neville (Shakes head): I cannot fathom why Anu is not concerned about this. If Whitney has not yet flipped on our alliance, there is at the very least great risk that she is considering doing so at this time, and that she may become our adversary in the imminent future.

Arthur (Nods): I agree. I know I went off on you after Tribal, and that I haven't trusted you all that much lately. But at least now that Lacey's gone, you're not spending a whole lotta time with people that aren't aligned with us.

Neville (Smiles): Precisely my point, Arthur. Going forward, I intend to prove my full loyalty to yourself, Evander, and Anu by way of casting an elimination vote against Pat or Jessica at our next Tribal Council, with the other individual receiving my vote at the subsequent Tribal Council. Albeit, voting against Pat to neutralize the potential of he and Whitney being a partnership out here is the more attractive option at this time, in my humble opinion.

Arthur (Grins): Good to know, and I fully agree that as of now, between Pat and Jessica, Pat should get the boot first.

ARTHUR
	"It pains me to say this almost as much as it pains me to watch a Michael Bay film, but seeing Whitney get closer to Pat on a personal level is getting me more paranoid than Jack Torrance in The Shining. As possible as it is that Jessica's just mega sneaky like Anu thinks, it's more likely that someone told Jessica she was going home, which led to her blowing up on us at Tribal. By the looks of things, Whitney is the only one that would do that 'cause she was told that night she was getting votes, and she's the only one in our alliance getting close to people on the other side. I don't wanna go into a swap or a merge with a bunch of people I don't trust. The way I see it, if Whitney's truly with us, she'll be open to booting Pat. If not, she's a snitch 'n' a snake that's gotta go soon."

Following Arthur's confessional, he and Neville are shown returning with the water jugs just as Pat begins serving rice to the tribe for breakfast. A transitional shot of the thick clouds continuing to roll in then appears on the screen before showing the seven castaways on the Wai Wai tribe in the middle of eating their breakfast. It is at this time that the rain begins to fall, souring the tribe's mood.

Jessica M. (Frustrated): God dammit! I was really hoping that was gonna hold off for a little while longer.

Thankfully, having seen the thick clouds rolling in, the tribe's dry firewood has already been placed inside their shelter. The seven members of the Wai Wai tribe scurry inside the shelter to finish eating their rice. As the rain begins to get a little heavier, the camera focuses on the thick grey clouds in the sky before fading out.

Reward Challenge[]

Jeff Probst: Come on in, guys!

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

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

Most of the castaways on the Orealla and Wai Wai tribes simply nod and/or shrug upon learning that the air traffic control supervisor had been voted out, as though they were expecting it. Once Kye 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 Matt Finish, and that the winning tribe would receive various comfort items, including an extra-large tarp, which excites the castaways. Probst then adds that the second place tribe would only receive a medium-sized tarp, while the final tribe receives nothing. Once Jeff finishes explaining everything, he turns to the returning players.

Jeff Probst: Orealla, you 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. Who's it going to be?

Irene (Raising her hand): I'm sitting out, Jeff! I don't want to do challenge in the middle of a damn monsoon! Can I get an umbrella on the sit-out bench or something? Can I sit under one of those tarps? Why do we even have to run a challenge anyway in this weather, like, come the f*** on, Probst!

Though a number of castaways on all three tribes, as well as Probst himself, seem amused by Irene's bantering, the camera pans around to show Frank, K.C., and Jessica B. all appearing annoyed by it just before Probst responds.

Jeff Probst (Smirking): I mean, Irene, if you don't want to run the challenge, Orealla can go back to camp and you can forfeit these comfort items to the new players. I'm sure they'll be fine with that.

Frank (Butting in): We're not forfeiting, Jeff! Irene can sit out, and the rest of us can compete.

Irene proceeds to laugh at this as she turns around to face Frank.

Irene: Did you actually think I was gonna forfeit the challenge on behalf of the tribe? (Rolls eyes) Silly boomer.

Frank now rolls his eyes and groans to himself as Irene turns back to Probst.

Irene: Now, what about my request for an umbrella?

Jeff Probst (Sassy): If we had one for you, we might consider it, but we don't. Irene, you can go take your spot at the sit-out bench, if you're that desperate to get out of the rain, you can lay underneath it.

Irene (Shakes head): Ooooh Jeff, always gotta make things difficult.

Jeff Probst: As for the rest of you, we'll give you a minute to strategize, then we'll get started.

After a time skip, the castaways are shown in position ready to being the challenge, briefly focusing on Billy, to show that his hair has been tied back to keep it out of his eyes in the rain.

Jeff Probst: Alright, here we go! For reward in the form of comfort! Survivors ready... GO!!

Reward Challenge: Matt Finish
Tribe	Competitors	Sit-Outs
Ingarikó	Aleigha, Bernadette, Charmer, Elvis, Jessica B., Kye, Sal
Wai Wai	Anu, Arthur, Evander, Jessica M., Neville, Pat, Whitney
Orealla	Billy, Ella, Frank, Geoff, K.C., Kelly-Ann, Sheila	Irene

Challenge Highlights:

The Orealla tribe get off to a bit of an early lead, being the first tribe through the obstacle course.
- They are followed closely by Wai Wai, who were being slowed down slightly by Pat.
Arthur manages to untie the bag of balls for Wai Wai right around the same time as Kelly-Ann does the same for Orealla.
Just as Wai Wai and Orealla begin to maneuver their bag of balls through the obstacle course, Ingarikó manages to get their entire tribe through the obstacle course to their bag, after being slowed down by Bernadette.
Orealla has a slight lead on Wai Wai as they make their way back through their obstacle course and begin shooting each ball through the net.
Orealla and Wai Wai each have two of their three balls through the net as Ingarikó finally makes their way back through the obstacle course and starts untying their bag.
Wai Wai is the first tribe to get each of their balls completely through the net. Mendez then quickly begins shooting them at the narrow perch as the rest of the tribe swims around it. Orealla maneuvers their three balls through their net shortly after.
Ingarikó makes quick work getting each of their balls through the net as they get to start shooting before either of the other two tribes have managed to score.

It takes a while for any castaway to land a ball on the narrow perch, especially with the rain starting to get heavier, making the balls slippery and reducing their visibility.

Billy is the first castaway to land a ball on the narrow perch, giving Orealla the lead. K.C. then lands a second ball on the perch a few moments later.
Kye then lands Ingarikó's first ball, which is almost immediately followed up by Mendez landing another ball on Wai Wai's perch.
After another few moments, Billy lands another ball for Orealla, winning them reward.

Jeff Probst: Billy does it! OREALLA WINS REWARD!

Shortly after, Aleigha lands a ball on the perch for Ingarikó, leaving both newbie tribes with just one left.
After some back and forth between the castaways on each respective tribe for a few minutes, Anu lands Wai Wai's final ball, ending the challenge.

Jeff Probst: Wai Wai wins reward!

The camera now shows the Wai Wai tribe loudly celebrating their first reward challenge victory, while the Ingarikó tribe shake their heads in defeat. After a time-skip takes us to Jeff addressing each of the castaways.

Jeff Probst: Orealla, congratulations. You have won comfort in the form of blankets, pillows, a mosquito net, a hammock, and an extra large tarp. Even if you did collect a tarp in your supply run, this extra-large one should really come in handy for you. Come get your reward, grab, and head on back to camp. I'll see you at your next immunity challenge. Try to stay as dry as you can. It doesn't look like this rain's going anywhere for a while.

Irene groans and rolls her eyes as the Orealla tribe grab their bags and then the items they won in the reward challenge. Once Orealla is gone, Probst turns to face the Wai Wai tribe.

Jeff Probst: Wai Wai, congrats on winning your first reward. Though not as big as all those comfort items Orealla walked away with, especially in this weather, a new tarp should come in handy for you. Grab your stuff, come get your reward, head on out.

Members of the Wai Wai tribe are shown smiling as they follow Probst's instructions. As soon as Wai Wai has exited the challenge arena, the host faces Ingarikó.

Jeff Probst: Ingarikó, it was a close challenge, but unfortunately, I've got nothing for you. Grab your stuff, head back to camp. Try to stay as dry as you can before your next challenge.

As the Ingarikó tribe grab their stuff and begin to head back to camp, the camera begins to focus on Bernadette, who appears downright miserable.

BERNADETTE
	"UGH, this rain absolutely sucks! I try to stay so positive, but I'm already so, incredibly wet, and we didn't even win any comfort in the reward challenge! I was really, really, really hopeful that Kye would come through for us again like he always does, but that didn't happen. Hopefully this rain stops soon so this game can get back to normal and I can start having fun again."

Following Bernadette's confessional, we see one last close up of her as the Ingarikó tribe walks back to camp before the camera fades out.

Orealla[]

The program re-opens at the Orealla tribe as the rain not only continues to fall on the castaways, but has since started falling harder. We can see that the returning castaways managed to secure the extra-large tarp they won in the reward challenge to the roof of their shelter, and they are each now sitting inside it to escape the rain. In order to keep the mood light, six of the eight castaways are listening to each other tell stories, mostly about their families back home. Meanwhile, Ella is silent as she has her knees pulled up close to her chest while she tries to stop herself from shivering, though she does appear to be listening to the conversation. Frank however is staring outside and appears to be trying to ignore his loud tribe mates altogether. The camera then focuses on the conversation in the shelter while Sheila talks about her children.

Sheila: Stormi's name really suits her, honestly. She's a bit of a firecracker, and for some reason, she loves the rain. She still talks about about wanting to be one of those storm chasers.

K.C.: One of those people that try to get inside a tornado or whatever to film it or something?

Sheila: Yes, exactly! So yeah, I honestly thought she was joking at first, 'cause her name is "Stormi." But somehow, she actually seems serious.

Kelly-Ann: How old is she now?

Sheila: Just turned 18 a few weeks ago, so I guess she can make her own decisions now. (Rolls eyes) Stormi says she's gonna get her brother, Ross, to build one of those contraptions for her that you see actual storm chasers in on the T.V. 'cause Ross is real good with technology and mechanical stuff. Problem is, Ross probably would be up to the challenge if she asked him! (Laughs ironically) Oh Lordy! God have mercy!

Geoff: Sorry to interrupt, but did you say you have a son named Ross?

Sheila (Confused): Yeah? He's my only son, actually.

Geoff (Chuckles): That's so cool! My son's name is Ross as well.

Sheila (Smiles): Yeah! I think you have mentioned that before, which is weird 'cause I really didn't think Ross was that popular of a name anymore.

Geoff: Named him after my father-in-law, so... take that however you like. (Chuckles)

Sheila: Fair enough. My husband and I literally just saw it in one of those baby name books and liked it. No other reason. It's also not an easy one for other children to make fun of when your kid is growing up, but that was just an added benefit I discovered later. (Chuckles)

Billy (Giggles): Oh man, those were the days—

Irene (Interrupting): "I-Reek" was the worst one I got, but I eventually got smart and turned it around on them. They'd be like (mocking tone) "Irene? More like 'I-reek' (normal voice) then they'd plug their nose and have their stupid laugh. But then I'd just plug my own nose and be like: "I know, you do reek! 'Bout time you caught on! How many skunks did you have to fight off just now?! Gross!"

Most of the tribe, even Frank, start laughing at Irene's story, while the camera pans around to show Billy appearing a bit caught off guard still from being interrupted, though he laughs along anyway.

Geoff: I remember kids trying that with me as well, except most of the time they'd simply try to pronounce my name with the hard "G" 'cause apparently they need to point out that I spell my name weird. So when they'd say it, it would sound like "G-ee-off" (Shrugs) I never really got bullied much as a kid though, and thankfully pronouncing my name with a hard "G" seemed to grow old pretty fast. (Shakes head) But my daughter especially hasn't been so lucky.

Kelly-Ann (Concerned): What happened?

Geoff: She just seems prone to being bullied by the other students, especially this one particular girl. My wife and I have both tried everything we could think of to get it to stop, but I wish there was more we could do as parents to fix the situation. It just kills me inside whenever I hear my wife say she got off the school bus in tears.

Billy (Sighs; Nodding): I hear—

Frank (Interrupting): Kids gotta learn to stick up for themselves!

As Frank continues talking, Billy is once again shown to be caught off guard by having been interrupted.

Frank: Everybody's getting way too damn soft nowadays. I remember the days of the strap. Sheila, I'm sure you do too.

Sheila (Chuckles): Don't age me, Frank! (Nods) But yes, I do remember. My third grade teacher actually had a "Dunce Hat" she'd make misbehaving students wear while they sat in a corner. I'll readily admit, I had to wear the hat once for talking out of turn. It was embarrassing, but I guess you could say it did its job.

Ella: I'm so glad schools have gone away from public humiliation like that. Other children are bad enough, you don't need teachers adding to the pain and embarrassment you feel inside. Geoff, I totally relate to Emma 'cause I went through exactly the same thing when I was about her age. I don't know how many times my own mother would call the school only for nothing to happen, and it's like they just don't care.

K.C.: Don't they have all those anti-bullying campaigns and a bunch of other stuff 'bout bullying at the schools now?

Ella (Rolls eyes): That's all B.S.! I remember when I went to school, they'd do that one big assembly at the beginning of the year about how we should all (mocking tone) "Be nice to each other!" But that's it. Then when people like my mother call to complain about a bully after I came home crying, it's like they either don't know what the hell to do, or they don't care enough to do it.

Kelly-Ann (Nodding): Yeah, my three kids have all been bullied to different extents, but our oldest boy, Colby, gets bullied really bad just 'cause he's really quiet, and I guess they see him as an easy target or something. Feels like my husband and I are waging an uphill battle against the school over this. I've called the school numerous times, and even brought it up face-to-face at parent-teacher meetings. I don't know if they're too scared to intervene, or what's going on. But as you said, Ella, it's like they don't care.

Geoff: From my experience with Emma, it definitely feels like the latter when you're the parent and the only thing you can really do is console your child. I don't know if the teachers aren't properly trained to deal with the situation, if they don't have the resources, or what. I know they aren't actually allowed to punish children anymore, and I know some schools are trying to phase out suspensions and expulsions. But for the sake of our children's mental health and self-esteem, policy changes need to be made.

Ella: Yeah, and with the world becoming more and more digital, cyber-bullying will only make things worse and more complicated because now, certain kids may not be able to escape it.

Geoff (Sighs): That's unfortunately true. I just wish more parents would talk to their children, not only about the effects bullying has on others, but also to let them know that you love them, and that you care about them and are always going to be there.

Most of the castaways in the shelter, except Frank, begin nodding in agreement with Geoff's statement as the camera hones on on the personal injury lawyer and switches to his confessional.

GEOFF
	"While it sucks being cooped up in the shelter, not being able to do much of anything in this rain, I do feel like the silver lining is that this storm really brought a lot of us together as a tribe. We had great conversations, and I think it helps that a lot of us are parents 'cause we can relate to each other through that shared experience. I really appreciated having that conversation about bullying in schools especially because in the age we're in now, this issue of bullying is no longer a simple one 'cause there are so many layers, and technology is only making it harder to combat. Unfortunately, I don't see the issue of bullying ever going away, but I do hope that parents talk to their children more about this issue to show them, not just what the effects of bullying are and that it's wrong to bully, but also that you love them unconditionally, and that you're there for them no matter what."

Following Geoff's confessional, we are taken back to the conversation in the shelter featuring the returning players, which has since shifted to K.C. talking about life as a police officer.

K.C.: Ya' know, I was a rookie officer in 2001 when the Oklahoma City Bomber, Timothy McVeigh, was executed. Then of course 9/11 happened that year too, as I'm sure you all know.

Sheila: What was that like?

K.C.: It was certainly trial by fire that year, 'cause especially after 9/11, there was a lot more fear going around than there was before. But I'm also glad that 2001 was the year that I got my start 'cause it really confirmed for me that this was something that I was passionate about doing. I just kinda wish I became an officer six years earlier so I would've had the chance to arrest that f***er, McVeigh. But I guess I've also arrested my fair share of killers in the past 17 years, so I can't feel too bad.

Sheila: What's there to feel bad about? You started as a police officer when you were ready.

K.C.: Just an expression. A lotta people died in the Oklahoma City bombing, and I take pride in being able to keep my city safe and get dangerous people off the streets. I always feel a sense of pride when I slap the cuffs on someone that we've been looking for for a while, and arresting McVeigh would've been the ultimate feel-good moment, I guess you could say.

Kelly-Ann: Yeah, I totally understand what you're saying. (Shakes head) Gosh, I couldn't imagine what it's like being a cop in this day and age.

K.C.: I don't pay attention to any of that negative press 'bout the police force, to be honest with you. All that does is distract from what we're actually out there to do, which in my case is to protect Oklahoma City.

Billy: For sure, man. I—

Irene (Interrupting): What was the craziest police chase you've ever been on?

As K.C. answers Irene's question, Billy hangs his head after having been interrupted yet again.

K.C.: Some idiot stole a fire truck from someone's yard and started driving it through the downtown. I think he was drunk, or high, or something, but regardless, he caused a crap ton of property damage. Not to mention the fact he stole a flipping fire truck!

Irene (Laughing): Oh my gosh, that's hilarious!

Kelly-Ann: How'd you stop him?

K.C.: I didn't. He stopped himself when he ran into the side of a bridge. Thank God nobody got seriously injured.

Sheila: How'd he even steal that thing to begin with?

K.C.: Fire truck was still running as the fire fighters tended to the burning building. He literally just hopped in and took off. Fire trucks got a lot better security measures in 'em now than they did back then to prevent that kind of thing from happening. But that's how it happened.

Irene: I can just imagine the looks on the faces of the firefighters when he was driving off with their truck though! That had to have been a hilarious scene to watch.

K.C. (Rolls eyes): Yeah, maybe if it were in a movie or something. But this was real life, it was no joke.

Sheila: I'm just glad that nobody got seriously injured during that incident 'cause who knows how much damage that could've caused if he got far enough at the wrong place and the wrong time?

K.C.: I totally agree with you, but I'll tell ya', stuff like that also keeps the spark alive in my line of work. Crazy stuff is always going down, and we've gotta be prepared for that. Ya' know, even if I win the million dollars, I'll be doing this job for as long as I am able just because of how important the police are to society in terms of enforcing the law and keeping people safe.

Sheila (Smiling): That is so amazing to hear, and I'm especially happy that it sounds like you're in it for all the right reasons.

SHEILA
	"K.C. is usually pretty quiet around camp and doesn't talk a whole lot about... anything, really. But I really loved sitting in the shelter and just listening to him talk about his passion for being a police officer, and some of the other crazy stories he has. K.C. definitely has this ultra-tough, serious, macho way about him, so I guess you could say that this storm really gave us a great opportunity to kind of peel back the layers a bit and get to know the real K.C. I do believe that down the road he will be a threat for sure, but right now, I feel like he's probably on my side, and at this point, I want it to stay that way."

Following Sheila's confessional, we can see the conversation continuing as K.C. recalls another experience from his time as a police officer and discusses it with the tribe. The camera then focuses in on the usually stoic police officer as a smile creeps across his face.

K.C.
	"Back in Tasmania, I never really took the opportunity to talk about myself to very many people. I mean, I'm here for a million dollars, not to make friends, so what's the point of revealing very much about yourself when they might just use that against you down the road? As it was, I was open about the fact I'm a cop, and cops do naturally have targets on their backs because of their profession. But if I'm gonna play as a lone wolf out here, I need people to trust me enough to wanna pull me in for a vote, so it's just not smart to be the shifty guy sitting in the corner, that never says much of anything. I don't see myself getting emotionally attached to any of these people, and all of the votes I cast will be based on strategy alone. But I also know I can't be afraid to give people a little something here and there, and play a little of the social game like I did today in the shelter, 'cause that'll only help me strategically."

From K.C.'s confessional, the scene returns to the conversation in the shelter. The camera focuses on Irene, who is telling a story to her tribe about one time she got pulled over for speeding and was trying to talk her way out of a ticket. Most of the tribe, even K.C., soon burst into laughter. Billy attempts to join the conversation for a fourth time, but is again interrupted by Irene as she continues telling the story. The camera then focuses on the early childhood educator as he bows his head slightly, and the scene transitions to his confessional.

BILLY
	"Ya' know dude, I never really realized it 'till now, but I'm definitely feelin' like this storm is showin' where I fit in with this tribe... which is that I don't. I'm so used to bein', ya' know, the life of the party, dude. That guy that's always crackin' jokes 'n' that guy that people wanna spend time with. But out here dude... (shakes head) for the first time in my life dude, I don't really feel like I fit in 'cause I don't really have anything in common with 'em. There were also like, times I'd go to say somethin' dude, but then someone else jumps in, 'n' the conversation just continued like I didn't exist. (Sighs) But yeah, dude, it's not just gettin' to me 'cause this is a new experience. But like, I wanted to come in here, help the tribe in challenges, 'n' use my social skills to get into everybody's good graces 'n' get a solid alliance. On one hand dude, yeah we're winnin' challenges, and... I guess Geoff probably does have my back, but even he didn't really acknowledge me for the longest time in the shelter. (Shakes head) I hate to get paranoid 'bout my place in this tribe, dude. But s**! I'm f**ing paranoid!"

After Billy's confessional, we see one last shot of him in the shelter with a nervous expression on his face as Geoff laughs along with a joke that Sheila had just told. The scene then fades out.

Ingariko[]

The footage now opens with a shot of the gold Ingarikó tribe flag, which is currently being drenched by the heavy rainfall. An establishing shot of the main camp area during the rain storm then appears, with the camera soon focusing briefly on the tribe's extinguished fire. The camera then focuses on the even Ingarikó tribe members, who are all in the shelter attempting to escape the rain. Though each of the seven castaways seem to be feeling at least a little bit down on themselves given the situation, none appear more upset than Bernadette, who seems like she may be on the verge of tears as the scene switches to her confessional.

BERNADETTE
	"I seriously don't mean to sound over-dramatic or anything, but I seriously feel like this just might be in the top five worst days of my life! Like, I'm soaked, everything is soaked! (Shakes head) All of our stuff... literally everything! (Sighs heavily) This means that we can't get fire, so we can't eat, and we can't get water, and Lord knows I need a drink right about now... preferably not water, but I'll take that if alcohol isn't available. It's seriously like Hell has relocated to Guyana... except with endless rain instead of raging fire. (Sighs heavily) I just wanna be warm, dry, and cozy instead of cold and wet. Is that too much to ask?! UGH! (Groans) I seriously feel like I'm in my own personal Hell right now. I hate this so much!"

Bernadette now wraps her arms around Elvis, who is sitting next to her.

Bernadette: Warm me up, Elvie. I'm freezing.

Elvis proceeds to wrap his arms around the struggling hairstylist and fitness instructor as the camera proceeds to pan around to focus on another struggling castaway, Jessica B. The attorney has a troubled look on her face as her heart races. After a moment, Aleigha happens to look over and picks up on Jessica's mood.

Aleigha (Slightly concerned): You okay, Jessica?

Instinctively, the attorney quickly shakes her head "No" twice, which prompts Aleigha to shuffle closer to her and speak quietly in a sympathetic tone.

Aleigha: What's wrong? Is it just being cold and wet? You want me to help warm you up, maybe?

Jessica B. jolts her head back and her mouth drops open slightly, appearing quite off guard by the tattoo artist's offer.

Jessica B. (Blunt): I'm fine. Don't worry about me.

Aleigha (Persistent): You just told me you weren't.

Jessica B.: No, I didn't.

Aleigha: I asked how you were, and you shook your head at me. Something's clearly wrong.

Jessica B. (Speechless): Oh... did I?

Aleigha glares in Jessica's direction, giving her a slight nod, which prompts the attorney to let out a sigh.

Jessica B.: Look, I don't care that it's raining, okay. I'm not a spoiled, little girl that cries because their hair is wet.

Aleigha: Nobody said you were.

Jessica B.: I just... don't like storms. I'm not scared of storms—I'm not scared of anything. I just don't like them. Let's leave it at that.

Aleigha: It's okay if you are. We all have our own phobias, Jessica.

Jessica B.: I told you, I'm not scared of anything. Don't push it. (Shakes head; Sighs) This should pass soon anyway... I hope.

Aleigha: Alright then. I'm here if you need to talk about this.

Jessica B. (Under breath): Thank you, though.

Aleigha now turns around to resume her conversation with Sal, Kye, and Charmer as the camera maintains its focus on Jessica B. as she lets out a sigh and the scene transitions to the attorney's confessional.

JESSICA B.
	"I don't care that it's raining out here, I just don't like storms, I never have. That's all there is to it. II don't think I ever will like storms. As far as why... I just like to be in control, I guess... and I'm not in control in these conditions. I don't like feeling powerless, it just gets me angry. I'll admit, it was nice of Aleigha to reach out, but I'm a big girl, I can take care of myself. (Shrugs) Besides, it's not like there's anything she could do anyway. I just need to figure out something to take my power back."

The scene returns to the shelter where Jessica B. can be seen looking around the shelter at her tribe mates, eventually laying her eyes on Sal as he laughs along with Charmer, Kye, and Aleigha. As Jessica B. stares at the comedian for a moment, her eyes go wide and she nods to herself.

Jessica (Quietly; To self): Crap, I almost forgot. (Under breath) Darn storm.

The attorney now proceeds to shake her head and take a deep breath before clearing her throat to make an announcement for the whole tribe to hear.

Jessica B. (Loudly): So... Sal, what kind of advantage do you got?

Each and every one of Jessica B.'s tribe mates, especially Sal, are shocked by the words coming out of the attorney's mouth.

Sal (Shakes head; Playing dumb): I have no idea what you're talking about.

Jessica B.: Oh really? I think the envelope I found in your bag would say otherwise.

Sal's jaw drops open as he is left utterly speechless. Before he could respond however, Kye steps in.

Kye: You went through Sal's stuff?!

Jessica B. (Annoyed): Is that really what you want to focus on, Kye?

Aleigha: That's his personal belongings!

Jessica B. (Rolls eyes): For the record, the envelope was sitting on top of his bag, so I didn't actually go through his stuff. He's the idiot for leaving it there.

Sal simply shakes his head and takes a few deep breaths before responding.

Sal: Jessica, I understand that you're probably mad right now that I voted against you at Tribal Council. But I don't have an advantage. I don't know what you're talking about.

Jessica B. (Frustrated): I know what I saw, Sal.

Sal (Annoyed): Yeah, and I know what I put in my bag. You're just trying to stir up needless drama and place a target on my back, and I'm not about to let it happen.

Jessica B. (Groans): Ugh... suit yourself, Sal. Lie through your teeth if you think I care. I haven't lied yet out here, so if these people know what's good for them, your butt is on the line.

Sal (Fired up): Well, obviously you care or you wouldn't be trying to get people to turn on me so blatantly.

Jessica B. rolls her eyes once more as Sal continues.

Sal (Continuing): I get it, you're a Bitter Betty 'cause I voted for you, so you're lying now because you're trying to progress yourself further in the game. That's all well and good, but I'm not about to let you do that at my expense. I don't have an advantage, nothing was in my bag, end of discussion!

Jessica (Shakes head; Sighs): Whatever. I've said my piece. If these people believe your baloney, that's their problem now.

JESSICA B.
	"If there was one benefit to being cooped up in the shelter during this monsoon, it was that the whole tribe was in the shelter so that I could announce to them that Sal has an advantage. (Shrugs) Yeah, I figured Sal would deny it. But nothing stirs up paranoia and distrust in this game quite like thinking someone may have an advantage that you know nothing about. Even if these people want to act like they believe Sal's lies to his face, I'm confident that I was able to at least plant seeds of doubt in their heads that should lead to his downfall sometime soon. When that happens, I'll be having the last laugh, that is a promise."

Following the attorney's confessional, she is shown letting out another loud sigh as she shakes head head. The camera then pans around to show the rest of the tribe looking towards Sal with confused expressions on their faces, which leads the comedian to simply shrug his shoulders.

Sal: I'm telling you guys, I don't have anything of the sort. That's a promise.

SAL
	"I have no idea how Jessica managed to find out I have the Legacy Advantage, so her little announcement in the shelter today came as a huge shock to me. Maybe I need to become a rooster and wake up at the crack of dawn or something 'cause the only thing I can think of is that she might've seen the envelope in my bag before I did, and she is typically up earlier than the rest of us. (Shrugs) Regardless, I don't know what kind of reaction she expected out of me, 'cause I don't think I've gone blonde out here just yet. I'm not stupid enough to reveal to the entire tribe that I have the Legacy Advantage. (Sighs) In saying that, there is a small part of me that worries what she said may have resonated with certain people here. (Shrugs) I guess all I can hope is that my denials convinced enough people she's just bitter so the target stays off my back, 'cause I don't plan on revealing my advantage to anyone unless I have to."

From Sal's confessional, the footage returns to the scene in the shelter while the heavy rainstorm continues. An awkward silence comes over the tribe for a few moments before Elvis nudges Kye, who then turns to face him.

Kye: What's up?

Elvis (Quietly; Playfully): That was beautiful how you handled Jessica's B.S.

Kye (Extremely confused): I just asked if she went through his stuff. I didn't say anything else.

Elvis: You didn't have to. It was still just as beautiful as you are. (Winks)

Elvis, Bernadette, and Kye all share a short laugh, though the personal trainer's face does turn pink as he blushes a bit.

Kye: What are you getting at, Elvis?

Elvis (Smirks; Shrugs): Oh, nothing. Just complimenting you, my friend.

Kye: Oh, alright then. (Giggles awkwardly)

Elvis: In all seriousness though, you have to tell me your workout routine. What's your secret?

Kye (Taken aback): You sure you need it? (Elvis eagerly nods) You're really buff for a guy in his 40s, so I honestly don't think you need my (finger quotes) "secret." (Shrugs) If anything, it's me that should be asking you your secret to maintaining your physique.

Elvis (Giggles): I don't think I ever looked quite as good as you do. Besides, age is just a number, Kye. Why should I settle for a Lexus when I could get a Ferrari?

Bernadette (Butting in): Wow, you guys are talking Lexuses and Ferraris, and here I am looking like a freaking Windstar. A damn nice, shiny, brand new Windstar... but still a Windstar.

Elvis (Sassy): So... by tomorrow you're gonna need to replace your transmission. Sounds about right.

Bernadette gasps and playfully shoves Elvis as the two of them and Kye share a short laugh, along with Charmer, Sal and Aleigha, who all overheard Elvis's comeback. Bernadette then proceeds to cover her face with both hands as she giggles uncontrollably to herself as well. The camera then focuses on Kye as he smiles before switching to his confessional.

KYE
	"I think that overall, I'm very thankful to be on the tribe that I am. Elvis and Sal are both hilarious in general, but Elvis especially kinda kicked it up a notch this afternoon, probably to get us through the freaking monsoon we're experiencing. Elvis does have an endearing way about him, and I'm glad he seems to enjoy my presence around here as well. Quite frankly, if I didn't know any better, I'd say Elvis was trying to flirt with me this afternoon. (Pauses for a moment then laughs) Oh, who am I kidding? The guy is married and has children, so there's no way that's actually what he was trying to do. But uhh... yeah, I definitely appreciate Elvis's friendship. Even though we're not technically aligned at the moment, I do feel like he'd probably be loyal to me if we were to swap or merge, so I just have to hope we win more challenges so I don't have to think about voting him out for a long time."

Following Kye's confessional, it is clear that the mood within the Ingarikó shelter is starting to lighten up now, as most of the tribe are engaging in jokes and friendly banter with each other. The camera then focuses on a smiling Elvis and transitions to the tailor's confessional.

ELVIS
	(Holds hands up as if surrendering) "Alright, alright, I'll admit it! (Laughs) I do indeed think Kye is a beautiful young man, and I was intentionally turning up the charm a lil' bit. (Shrugs) Who cares if I'm married and a father, honestly? I ain't gonna get into any of that touchy-feely stuff, 'cause that stays between Leland and I; however, I know I'm charming, I know what I'm capable of, and if girls are allowed to play the flirt card, why can't I? Besides, we're a tribe of seven now, and I still need one more person to secure a solid four-person alliance. Between Kye getting along well with myself, Charmer, and Bernadette, Jessica not being stable or trustworthy, Aleigha clearly hating my closest ally, Bernadette, and now the chance that Sal is possibly this huge threat with an advantage, I'd be a fool to not try and rope Kye in and make him one of my loyal subjects! (Points to self) King Elvis is not a fool! I will get Kye on my side, and my kingdom shall rule Guyana for the next... (counts on fingers) 35-ish days... however much longer we're out here. (Laughs)"

The scene then transitions out of Elvis's confessional and lingers on him as he continues conversing with Kye. The camera then pans over and briefly lingers on Sal, who is smiling as he talks with Charmer. The view then switches over to show Jessica B., whose anxious expression has returned to her face as she stares at the heavy rain falling outside the shelter before biting her bottom lip and hanging her head. As the attorney hangs her head, the scene fades to black.

Wai Wai[]

The program now opens at the Wai Wai camp as the tribe members sit in the shelter, for they are enduring the same heavy rainstorm as their two rival tribes. At this time, most of the tribe seem very exhausted, worn out, and bored, with even Arthur appearing as though he just wants to fall asleep. To pass the time, the castaways are presently engaging in casual conversation.

Pat: So Whitney, what got you so interested in nature photography?

Whitney (Giggles): The Discovery Channel on T.V., believe it or not. I remember just watching some of those shows and being like "Wow, I wish I was there." There was absolutely no way I wasn't growing up to be either taking photos of nature or filming nature documentaries.

Anu: I have to admit, I'm kind of jealous of you there. Though I am working to get into the police academy right now, I think it would be so relaxing to just walk through nature while observing and documenting it.

Whitney (Rolls eyes): Tell that to my parents and Zack's ex.

Anu: Who?

Whitney (Giggles): You're right, Zack's ex-wife is irrelevant in the grand scheme of things since I barely even see her. I shouldn't let her get to me. (Shakes head) It just... seems like she hated me even before she met me just because I exist, and I'm with Zack.

Jessica M. (Butting in; Fired up): What a c***!

The entire tribe awkwardly look towards Jessica M. upon hearing this remark, though Whitney soon starts laughing. Jessica M. then gasps and places a hand over her mouth.

Jessica M.: Oops... did I say that out loud?

The other Wai Wai tribe members nod.

Jessica M.: Sorry, but that's just really immature... c***-like behaviour. Especially if there's a child involved.

Whitney: There is. Sienna's 12 now.

Jessica M. (Snarls): Unbelievable.

Whitney: But it's quite alright, though. I mean, you're right, she is immature. But she's also Sienna's mother, and I respect her in that sense. I don't have much to do with Zack's ex, and I'm alright with that.

Evander: Seems fair.

Whitney: But yeah... (sighs) while I couldn't care less what Zack's ex thinks about my line of work, I wish my own parents would've supported it. Like, you'd think it's a given that parents support their children, right? But no, they'd constantly suggest all these jobs I could have working with nature or animals, but I've only ever wanted to document it. They don't seem to view what I do as a real job.

Pat: Yeah, I definitely relate to that so much, Whitney. My folks tried pushin' me so hard to go to law school, 'n' that just... wasn't for me. Trains was, and still is, my biggest passion. But ya' know, because of that, I've vowed to support Bella 'n' Trevor in persuin' whatever career path they choose. I don't want 'em to go through the same ridicule I did when I was a boy.

Arthur (Chuckles): Hey Whit, I make my living just talkin' in front of a camera 'n' postin' it online! (Chuckles more) My parents still don't understand it, but at least I'm makin' money, accordin' to them.

Whitney (Nodding): Yeah, that's all my father in particular seems to care about - the almighty dollar. (Rolls eyes) Makes me sick to be honest with you. I fully believe money to be the root of all evil.

Neville: In that instance, if you don't mind me asking, what was the reason for your decision for you to participate in this competition in which we are all attempting to win one million dollars?

Whitney: The money is strictly a bonus for me, I promise. I'm out here for the adventure, and for the chance to live and test myself out here in the wild, and in harsh conditions such as this, with no tools, and to experience all this nature in a land far away from home.

Neville (Nods): I can certainly respect and appreciate that sentiment.

Whitney (Smiles): Thank you, Neville. (Sighs) But yeah, I just... wish my parents respected the career path that I chose and didn't act like I was disappointing them. I'm not rich or anything, my salary is about the same as the average John or Jane Doe, and I know it's not conventional. But it's what I love to do, and that's all I think should matter at the end of the day.

Evander: It's cliché to say to say, but I think they just probably wanted the best for you, and you're not really fitting into that mold that they had envisioned for you when you were young. That doesn't make their stance right, but especially with your father valuing money so strongly, I imagine he is unfortunately under that grave misconception that you'd be happier with more money, and what I imagine he thinks would be a more stable job.

Whitney (Nodding): You hit the nail on the head there, Evander. He says that I could and should be doing better for myself, and that I'd be better off making more money. It's just... so frustrating.

Pat: Well, if it makes you feel any better, it sounds like you have a whole Survivor family right here that supports you, and thinks you have a really cool career path etched out for yourself. I always tell my kids that they need to follow their passion, and you're clearly doin' just that. Sure, it'd be nice to have your parents' support, but you're clearly lovin' what you do, 'n' it sounds like you're livin' happily with Zack 'n' Sienna... I'd say you're doin' quite well for yourself in life. Just remember that.

Whitney (Touched): Awww... Pat... that's one of the nicest things anyone has ever said to me.

Whitney shuffles over in the shelter to give Pat a hug. As she does so, the camera briefly focuses on Arthur, who is staring them down.

Whitney: You truly are a good friend. I'm so thankful to have met you.

As Whitney says this, Neville and Arthur are shown looking towards each other, with the latter shaking his head quietly.

Pat: You're welcome, Whitney. You're a great kid. I'm glad to have met you too.

Whitney: Thank you.

WHITNEY
	"It's definitely weird how the friendship between Pat and I has blossomed out here, but I truly am thankful to have him on this tribe. On the face of it, we don't have much, if anything in common, but he's still one of the most nicest, caring people I've ever met in my life. While the whole tribe was supportive when I aired my frustrations with my lack of family support over the years, Pat's words really did hit me right in the feels and have the biggest impact. It'll be very difficult for me personally to write his name down when that time comes, but for me, there's nothing strategic about our relationship right now. Even if the money itself isn't a big deal for me, I'm still very competitive, I still want to test myself in every aspect of this game, and most importantly, I still want to win. I do think he'd be loyal to me come a swap, so I'm hopeful that we all at least get there. But at the end of the day, if my heart tells me to keep Pat, but my head tells me to vote him off... (shrugs) it'll suck, but I'd listen to my head, for sure. I just hope it doesn't come to that point anytime soon."

Following Whitney's confessional, the nature photographer is shown sitting back down in her spot as the tribe resumes their conversation. The camera then focuses on Pat, who has a smile on his face.

PAT
	"Whitney's a real nice gal, 'n' I find it wonderful that we happen to get along so well even though our lives and backgrounds are so different. It was interestin' hearin' her talk about her home life, but I do hope she feels better 'bout herself after that lil' pep talk the tribe 'n' I had with her, 'cause it is sad situation when you feel your folks don't support you. I'm definitely hopeful the game will allow Whitney 'n' I to actually work together strategically, but the ball seems to be in her court on that one. Whitney's made no mention of strategy to me at all, so I am worried Jess 'n' I are still on the bottom of the tribe. But I know we can't stop fightin', and I just gotta keep hopin' that somethin' good's gonna come outta this sticky situation we're in."

Once Pat's confessional has completed, the scene once again returns to the conversation in the Wai Wai shelter. This time, the camera pans around and focuses on Arthur as he glares in the direction of Pat and Whitney with a nervous expression on his face.

ARTHUR
	"That whole time we were trapped in the shelter man, nothin' became more obvious to me than just how close Pat 'n' Whitney have gotten out here. The way they were talkin' to each other tells me that they're at the very least good friends, and early in the game, people really seem to try and keep their friends in as much as possible, 'cause that's naturally who they're gonna be more loyal to. I wanna trust Whitney, but we still got a Tribal Council plan-leakin', little weasel on this tribe to watch out for, so I really dunno if I should. (Shrugs) Either way, Pat's definitely goin' next at this point if I get my way. If Whitney objects, well, I might just have to take that as her pullin' a Katniss Everdeen in the Hunger Games and volunteerin' herself as tribute."

The scene then fades out of Arthur's confessional and lingers on the nervous expression on his face before panning around to focus on Pat and Whitney one more time. The scene then fades into a commercial break.

Day 8[]

Wai Wai[]

We return to the program on the morning of day 8, back at the Wai Wai camp. Although the rain has slowed down somewhat, it appears far from stopping as the camera focuses on the seven tribe members in the shelter. At this time, Whitney, Arthur, and Evander are still sleeping, while Anu, Pat, Neville, and Jessica M. are awake, with the camera soon focusing on the salon owner as she grumbles.

Jessica M. (Fed up): Ugh! I'm not made of sugar. I need to stretch my legs.

The tribe mates that happen to be awake each nod understandably as Jessica M. exits the shelter.

Jessica M.: I'm going for a morning jog. I need my exercise, and I just can't handle being shacked up like this.

Anu: I hear ya'. I might catch up with you soon, 'cause I'm startin' to feel the same.

Somewhat startled by this, Jessica M. forces a chuckle.

Jessica M.: Ummm... good luck, I guess... (chuckles) I ain't waiting for you. I'd rather be alone anyway. Helps clear my head.

Anu simply shrugs as Pat giggles to himself.

Pat: Well, you have fun. I'll try 'n' stay dry in here.

Jessica M. (Smirks; Nods): Well... bye!

Jessica M. now proceeds to jog towards the jungle, leaving her tribe behind as the scene switches to her confessional.

JESSICA M.
	"Despite Anu giving me the ammo I needed to save myself when we last went to Tribal, I've yet to hear anything solid from her or Whitney when it comes to working together, so of course I'm paranoid. Who wouldn't be in my position? I ain't about to let a little rain stop me from getting in my idol hunting session.. or should I say (finger quotes) "morning jog? (Laughs)"

Jessica M. is now shown jogging through the jungle, being sure to briefly stop to examine anything that stands out, hoping to find the idol. As time progresses, and the rain continues to fall, the salon owner begins to get more exhausted, wiping her face more often to keep the raindrops out of her eyes, and breathing heavily as she continues to search. Every time she searches through a bush, tree , or under a pile of wood, she finds herself rubbing her hands together, or on her pants, in order to get the excess dirt or wood chips off of them so she can continue her search. After a few minutes of searching, Jessica M. is shown coming to a small break in the tree-line alongside the pathway she was walking on. There, the salon owner notices a rather large, fallen tree, which prompts her to look in and around it. Soon, she sticks her hand inside the hollow of the fallen tree, and her eyes go wide. Immediately, Jessica M. pulls her hand out and reveals a cloth package, tied with teal-blue twine.

Jessica M. (Speechless): Ho... ly... s***.

Partly due to the cold and rain, and partly due to nerves, the salon owner's hands shake uncontrollably as she attempts to untie the twine around the package. Eventually she manages to do so, and reveals a pale teal blue, skull-shaped medallion, accompanied with a note.

Jessica M. (Reading excitedly): Congratulations, you have found a Hidden Immunity Idol!

The salon owner begins breathing heavily as she clutches the idol to her chest. She then backs up to lean against a tree, though she slumps down a little bit out of exhaustion.

Jessica M. (Sighs heavily): Finally

JESSICA M.
	"After all this time, I finally got my hands on the Hidden Immunity Idol. If things don't change around here, at least I know I'm safe past this vote, 'cause I can play this bad boy. Of course I don't wanna use it so soon, but since Adam Sandler and his fellow B-list cronies still want me out for all I know, it's good to have this as a sense of security. It took a long ass time, and I know I look like a drowned rat right now... (proudly holds up the idol) but this baby right here makes it all worth it!" (Kisses the idol)

Following Jessica M.'s confessional, the salon owner is shown lightly jogging back into camp and making her way towards the shelter. By this time, the rest of the Wai Wai tribe has woken up, some appearing surprised to see just how drenched Jessica M. got in the rain.

Arthur: Yo Jess! Did you go swimming in this rain, or something?

Jessica M. (Forces a giggle): No, just went for a quick jog. I hate being cooped up in one place for a long time.

Whitney: Even though it's pouring?

Jessica M. (Nods): Rain or no rain, I still need to get my morning run in for the sake of my sanity. Besides, I ain't gonna melt! I'm not made of sugar, so I don't see the big deal.

Arthur (Chuckles): Well... you're more dedicated to your routine than I. That's for sure!

Jessica M. (Shrugs): I guess so.

Jessica M. is now shown taking her hair that was tied back in a ponytail and gently squeezing some of the excess rain water out of it before climbing back in the shelter with her tribe.

Jessica M. (Playfully): Move over if ya' don't wanna get splashed!

A few people start chuckling as the salon owner gets situated in the shelter. The camera then pans around and focuses on Anu, who is staring at Jessica M. with a serious expression on her face.

ANU
	"I know Jessica said she was going for a run this morning, but she was gone an awful long time considering it feels like we're still experiencing a torrential downpour out here! Then again, maybe it felt longer than it really was 'cause the only interesting thing going on around here was the fact Jessica was absent from camp. I know I haven't made any promises to Jessica, so there's no way I'd put it past her to have been idol hunting while she was on her (finger quotes) 'morning run.' Oh well, at least if the idol has been found, I'm pretty sure I know where it's at, and that alone is half the battle when it comes to playing around those blasted things. (Shrugs) Obviously, Jessica could be telling the truth when she said she was out for a run, but after seeing how she operates already, if I was to just assume she's telling the truth, I'd be dumber than someone who travels to Chad to learn how to ice skate!"

Once Anu's confessional has finished, we are taken back to the scene in the shelter, with the camera zooming in on Jessica M., who can't help but smirk devilishly as the camera fades out.

Ingariko[]

The scene now opens at the Ingarikó tribe camp, first showing the yellow tribe flag before switching to the main camp area. The rain is now continuing to lighten up, and although it is still falling, the rain is no longer heavy enough to keep many of the tribe members stuck in the shelter, with Bernadette being the notable exception. The scene switches to Kye and Aleigha having a conversation as they fill up the tribe's water jug.

Aleigha: I don't mean to harp on last Tribal, but because this rain was so much worse yesterday, I never really got a chance to ask you about it. Like, I was clearly the only person here to vote Bernadette. When did the vote get switched off of her?

Kye (Sighs): To be honest, we just didn't trust Jessica to vote with us, and we couldn't guarantee enough votes to get Bernadette out. So Pedro, Sal, and I thought our best plan was to try and rope in Charmer to vote Jessica out. Of course, Jessica didn't vote with us anyway, and apparently Charmer didn't either.

Aleigha (Blunt): So I'm guessing you just thought I was too bitchy and too f***ing stubborn to be trusted with the vote, seeing that you guys changed plans without telling me?

Kye (Frustrated; Sighs): Come on, Aleigha! Don't put it like that.

Aleigha now lets out a sigh of her own and hangs her head a bit before responding.

Aleigha: I'm sorry, I know that's not fair to you. 'Cause you're right, I was being a bitch. I just thought... Bernadette needed to leave now, 'cause of the stuff she was pushing, and I thought you'd be more comfortable with her gone.

Kye: But you should've let me make that decision. Even though I was disappointed with how our actual conversation went about her singling me out, she has respected me enough lately that she hasn't done it since then, so I'm willing to put that past me right now and not relentlessly target her.

Aleigha: Well... (sighs) I guess that makes you a better person than I am. I hope you don't think I'm too much of a stubborn bitch to align with and trust out here.

Kye (Shakes head): Not at all. I do trust that you'd at least be loyal to me.

Aleigha: Will that be enough though? Like, do you think Jessica, Bernadette, Elvis, and Charmer are an alliance?

Kye (Chooses words carefully): I highly doubt it, anyway. Like... Charmer did mention that she wasn't quite comfortable aligning with Jessica. So there still may be a chance she leaves before we do. We just need to try and stay positive here.

Aleigha: You're right. I just feel so f***ing bad because this is all my fault. If I would've voted Jessica with you guys, we would've forced a tie, and she might be gone now. But no, I had to be a stubborn bitch and put you and Sal in a s****y position.

Kye: Well, all we can do is move forward in this game now. What's done is done, and I'm willing to do what I can to keep us both here as long as possible.

Aleigha: Thanks Kye, and I promise that there's no way I'm writing your name down if we go back to Tribal either.

ALEIGHA
	"I really don't know what I did out here to deserve a friend like Kye. He really is one of the most forgiving people in the world, and despite the fact I was too f**ing stubborn and bitchy for him, Pedro, and Sal to let me in on their plan to vote Jessica, he seems willing to put that behind us and actually align with me out here. I truly did mean every word of my apology to him, but there's no way I'd* align with me if I were in Kye's shoes. I do still hate the fact Bernadette does f* all around here, and the fact she started with that sympathy vote bulls; however*, Jessica still lied directly to my face and voted Pedro after she promised to vote Bernadette, so I have no problem at all targeting her if it means that I get to stay in the game."

Once the tattoo artist's confessional has finished, she and Kye are shown returning to camp with their water jug. As Kye places the jug in its designated location, he is approached by Elvis, who speaks to him in a quiet, but playful tone.

Elvis: Hey, hot stuff.

Kye (Flashes a small smile): Hey Elvis.

Elvis: What do you say you and I take a little stroll for a wee bit? There's something I wanna ask you.

Kye (Nods): Sure.

A transitional shot of a jaguar sleeping in a tree appears on the screen before Elvis and Kye are shown walking towards a more private area of the camp as they talk.

Elvis: Listen, I know you were a little blindsided last Tribal when that sweet, old man, Pedro got voted out.

Kye (Nods): Yeah, I wasn't expecting that at all.

Elvis: Here's the thing though, even though Jessica voted with us, I don't trust her at all. I want you to join me, Ol' Bernie, and the charming Charmer in forming an alliance to run this shing ding. We can be... hmmm... The Bodacious, Charming, Enigmatic Knockouts, each of us with a descriptive word beginning with the first letter of our names.

Kye (Taken aback): Whoa, whoa, whoa, easy there, tiger!

Both Kye and Elvis share a short laugh at this remark.

Kye: First of all... (giggles) why do I get "knockout"?

Elvis (Shrugs): Simple, you're so nice to look at that you practically knock me off my feet. (Winks)

Kye (Laughs): Oh please!

Elvis: In all seriousness, I think we'd make a great alliance, the four of us. I haven't really discussed that kind of stuff in depth with anyone, but you, Bernadette, and Charmer are the people I get along with the best. Since Bernadette and Charmer seem super close with each other, so you and I can be the other duo in the group! (Shrugs) Also like... with us being through Tribal once already, I feel like it's overdue for us to get a solid majority together on this tribe, ya' know?

Kye (Smiles): Yeah, for sure. Charmer and I especially get along great too, and I do think Bernadette would be a loyal person. (Pauses briefly) Who do you think you'd like to target first?

Elvis (Shrugs): I dunno, honestly. Like, I just haven't really discussed it with them, if you know what I'm saying, and I think each of the others have reason to go home.

Kye (Taken aback): Oh... really?

Elvis (Nodding): Mmmmm hmmmm! Like, Aleigha clearly hates Bernadette, who is in our group of four, so I don't see her being loyal to this tribe at all. Jessica, well... she's a bitch, to put it nicely. I don't trust her whatsoever, and something tells me that girl has already told more than her fair share of lies out here.

Kye (Anxious): What about Sal?

Elvis: Sal is gonna be such a huge threat in this game, like oh my God! I know it was Jessica that accused him of having an advantage yesterday, but still like... he might have an advantage. Ya' know?

Kye (Takes a deep breath): Yeah... I do know. Still, I'd rather vote out Jessica between them, to be honest. At least Aleigha and Sal aren't running around lying, spreading rumours, and trying to disrupt tribe unity.

Elvis: Fair enough 'bout Jessica, but like... Aleigha hates Bernadette. That's like, the opposite of unity, Kye. (Giggles)

Kye: But the difference is that I feel like Aleigha would at least be willing to work with Bernadette if she has to, whereas I think Jessica's literally spreading rumours for s***s and giggles. Even if she thinks she needs to do that to survive, that's not someone I trust to stick with us long term.

Elvis: Oh, I totally agree. All I know is that I want you, Charmer, and Bernadette in my final four Kye, and that we'd be the best looking final four of all time.

Kye smirks and playfully rolls his eyes, while Elvis giggles.

Elvis: But yeah, I haven't really had a conversation 'bout who the next target should be, so I'm just throwing out options at the moment.

Kye: Makes sense. Jessica is the one I'd vote out if we were to go to Tribal Council next though. Hopefully Charmer and Bernadette would agree to it.

Elvis (Shrugs): Well, the only way to find out is to ask 'em if we lose the immunity challenge. All I can say is that you ain't gonna get an argument from me about that.

Kye (Smiles): Thank you.

KYE
	"I'm in such a weird position in this game right now, 'cause I feel like I have no choice but to target Jessica come our next Tribal Council. I'm already aligned with Sal, Charmer and Aleigha are promising to be loyal to me, and now I have Elvis officially trying to pull me into an alliance with him, Bernadette, and Charmer! The crazy thing is, for the most part, I absolutely believe all of them. Hopefully Jessica does go home if we lose immunity so I don't have to worry, but I have no idea what I would do after that. As far as Sal possibly having an advantage goes... I hope that's just another Jessica lie, but you can never be too sure in this game. With Elvis telling me he thinks she could be telling the truth, as much as I hate to say it... (sighs) I am unfortunately more paranoid about it now than I was yesterday. Don't get me wrong, I do still want to work with Sal regardless, it's just that with us both being on the wrong end of the vote at Tribal, and us being such close allies, I know if I had an advantage, that's something I'd be sharing with him 'cause that is the kind of information that could benefit both of us out here."

Once Kye's confessional has finished, a transitional shot of an arapaima fish swimming around comes onto the screen before the scene switches to show the personal trainer having a conversation with Sal in the jungle.

Kye: Okay, so like... I hate to do this to you, but between you and I, there's something that I really think we should clear up.

Sal (Raises an eyebrow): What's that?

Kye: Well, you know how in the shelter yesterday, Jessica—

Sal (Puts a hand up; Interrupts): I don't have an advantage, I promise you.

Kye is caught off guard by Sal's instant response, taking a moment to process what the comedian has told him before nodding a couple times and responding.

Kye: Alright... well... I guess the matter has been cleared.

Sal: Jessica's already lied about (finger quotes) "Sympathy Vote Mania," and now she's spreading more lies to put a target on my back. She must know that I was one of the people to vote with her, so she's pissed at me. (Smirks) Besides, do you really think I'd be dumb enough to just leave an advantage in my bag? C'mon now! (Chuckles)

Kye (Chuckles): I guess not.

Sal now bends over to show Kye the top of his head.

Sal (Playful tone): Look closely, do you see any strands of blonde hair in there? Have you ever seen a blonde Indian?

Kye (Laughs): You know I'm blonde, right? You calling me stupid?

Sal begins to laugh now as he stands straight up.

Sal: Ya' know, they do say blondes have more fun.

Kye (Smirks): So I guess that makes you a bona fide party pooper by comparison.

Sal (Laughing): Touché!

The two men continue to laugh together for another couple of moments. Once the laughter dies down, Sal brings the discussion back to the original topic.

Sal: Seriously though, if I had an advantage that I thought could benefit us both out here, I'd tell you right away. You were the only one on this entire tribe to vote with me, so you're the only person I trust out here.

Kye: Thanks for clarifying that, Sal. I trust you 100% as well.

Sal (Smiles): Anytime, buddy.

SAL
	"Part of me kinda feels bad for lying to Kye about my Legacy Advantage, but the fact of the matter is, the last vote put us both in a bad position, and I don't know how he plans on playing the game when he gets desperate, especially since desperation can lead to people doing a lot of crazy stuff they wouldn't normally do. Also, the Legacy Advantage is something that will only benefit me on three specific occasions, and won't help Kye in the slightest, so there's just no need for him to know about it. (Shrugs) Besides, Jessica Bitch is trying hard enough as it is to put a target on my back, so if I can continue to hammer the point home to Kye that she's nothing more than a pathological liar, that should put us both on the same page so that we can properly band together to get her out of here."

Sal (Passionately): If there's one thing that I do know from our seven full days and one Tribal Council out here, it's that Jessica doesn't know how to do anything but lie in this game. There's nothing I'd like more than to get her out next.

Kye (Nodding): Yeah, that's what I'm thinking as well.

Sal: What do you think our chances are of making that happen?

Kye: I'm optimistic. After the last vote, Charmer came up to me and apologized for voting out Pedro, then promised that Jessica could go next.

Sal: Do you think we can trust her? She's burned us once already.

Kye (Shrugs): I don't think we have much else to go on at the moment. I just know that I have a good relationship with her, that she said she'd do what she can to keep us both safe, and that Jessica can go next.

Sal: Fair point. I am a bit nervous about trusting someone that broke their word the first chance she got out here. But if you trust her, you got a good bond with her, and if it means the lying Jessica gets to go home next, I'm willing to roll with this.

Kye: I see your point, but I do have a good feeling about Charmer right now. I'm hopeful that she's going to prove me right.

KYE
	"I do believe Sal when he says that he doesn't have an advantage and that it was just Jessica lying to put a target on his back. I have no doubt that Jessica's already lied out here, and I don't think Sal has any reason to not be truthful with me when it comes to information that could benefit us both in this game. On top of Jessica being the only person that's not seemingly interested in working with me at the moment out here, the fact she's lying to target Sal 'cause she figured out he voted for her only wants me out more. Since I voted Jessica as well, it does worry me that if she manages to get rid of Sal with her lies, that means she'll probably set her sights on targeting me next, and I'm not about to just let that happen."

Following Kye's confessional, the scene momentarily shows him and Sal walking through the jungle together, before switching to a brief shot of Jessica B. in the main area of the camp sipping water out of her canteen. As the attorney screws the lid back onto her canteen, 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 third immunity challenge, then switches to a ground level shot and pans around to show an open area with various tribe coloured stations, each with bags hanging down from them. As the camera pans around, it is evident that it is still raining at this time. Once the camera has finished scanning the area, Jeff Probst appears on the screen.

Jeff Probst: Come on in, guys!

We then see the Ingarikó tribe entering the challenge arena first with Elvis carrying the tribe flag, followed by a shot of the Wai Wai tribe entering as Jessica M. carries their tribe flag, and finally followed by a shot of the Orealla tribe entering as Frank 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: Kelly-Ann, Whitney, I need to take back the immunity statues.

Jeff walks over to Kelly-Ann, then to Whitney, who hand him their immunity statues. 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 Ow-Pairs.

Jeff Probst: However, there is an additional twist to this challenge.

Nervous expressions come across the faces of the castaways as Probst explains the twist.

Jeff Probst: Only the tribe that finishes first will win immunity! That means, both losing tribes will go to Tribal Council, both losing tribes will vote somebody out of this game.

Shocked expressions now appear on the faces of the castaways, with Billy, Aleigha, Neville, and Pat appearing especially concerned.

Jeff Probst: Orealla, you have one extra tribe member, so one person is sitting out of this challenge. Keep in mind, since the same person cannot sit out of back-to-back challenges, Irene must compete in this one.

Irene crosses her arms and rolls her eyes as the returning players briefly huddle together to confirm their decision.

Sheila (Raises hand): I'm sitting out, Jeff

Jeff Probst: Alright, Sheila, take a spot on the sit-out bench. Everyone else, a lot at stake in this challenge. I'll give you all 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: Alright, here we go! For Ingarikó, Bernadette will be the caller! For Wai Wai, Mendez is the caller! Finally, we have Frank calling for Orealla! For immunity... Survivors ready... GO!!

Immunity Challenge: Ow-Pairs
Tribe	Caller	Pair #1	Pair #2	Pair #3	Sit-Outs
Ingarikó	Bernadette	Aleigha, Jessica B.	Charmer, Kye	Elvis, Sal
Wai Wai	Jessica M.	Evander, Neville	Pat, Whitney	Anu, Arthur
Orealla	Frank	Billy, Kelly-Ann	Ella, Irene	Geoff, K.C.	Sheila

Billy & Kelly-Ann do a great job of following Frank's instructions, and move well in-sync. As a result, they are the first pair to reach their bag and untie it.
Bernadette's higher-pitched voice makes her instructions for Aleigha & Jessica B. very clear, leading to them making it to their first bag shortly after Orealla.
Frank's & Bernadette's loud voices, as well as the sound of the rain, do drown out Mendez slightly, leading to Evander & Neville having a harder time understanding where they need to go. Though they do move more slowly than the other two pairs, they still make it to their first bag while Orealla & Ingarikó are on their way back with their first bags.
Aleigha & Jessica B. do untie their bag and move back to the starting line slightly faster than Billy & Kelly-Ann, giving Ingarikó a very slightly lead for a few seconds.
- This slight lead is lost when Bernadette gets excited and distracted over the fact Ingarikó's first bag was returned first, which allows Ella & Irene to move faster out of the gate for Orealla.
Orealla loses their lead however on the way to their second bag, as Irene in particular has a harder time following Frank's instructions, and does not move well in-sync with Ella, who seems to know exactly where to go.
- This allows the pair of Charmer & Kye to re-gain Ingarikó's lead as they make it to their second bag first, while Ella & Irene make it to their second bag at roughly the same time as Pat & Whitney for Wai Wai.
- Pat & Whitney are also faster at untying their bag than Ella & Irene, and thus return to the start faster, putting Orealla in last place.
Bernadette's loud, high-pitched voice continues to serve her well in the caller role, giving Elvis & Sal clear instructions, and allowing them to extend Ingarikó's lead.
- Elvis & Sal make it to Ingarikó's third bag while Anu & Arthur have just started on the course for Wai Wai, and as Ella & Irene just get back with Orealla's second bag.
Geoff & K.C. however do move much faster and more in-sync than the previous pair, quickly catching up to Anu & Arthur, allowing Orealla & Wai Wai to their third bags at roughly the same time.
At this point, Elvis & Sal were about three-quarters of the way back with Ingarikó's final bag, making it back to the start not long after Orealla & Wai Wai untie their third bags.
At this point, Ingarikó look to take advantage of their lead as they rip off their blindfolds, and tear open their three bags. Jessica B. snatches one of the balls to take the first crack at the table maze.
The rain noticeably makes the maze difficult for each castaway, as it makes the mazes slippery and difficult to handle.
- Jessica B. successfully lands the first ball for Ingarikó on her fourth attempt at the table maze, which is shortly after both Wai Wai and Orealla return with their final bags. Elvis then grabs the next ball and tries the table maze.
Jeff Probst has to remind Jessica B. that she is unable to help Elvis with the table maze since she successfully landed a ball. This greatly frustrates the attorney, who appeared to have forgotten that part of the rules.
Neville lands a ball for Wai Wai, tying them for first place. Mendez then grabs Wai Wai's second ball and starts working on the maze.
- This ignites panic on the Orealla tribe, as Frank struggles with the maze.
- Around this time, Elvis gives up on the table maze, with he and Bernadette asking Kye to step forward and try it, which he does so.
Kye lands the second ball for Ingarikó, giving them back the lead. Sal then grabs Ingarikó's final ball and attempts the maze.
At this time, Ella takes over the table maze from Frank for the Orealla tribe, landing a ball for them on her fifth attempt. Geoff then grabs Orealla's second ball and takes over the table maze.
A few moments later, Mendez lands Wai Wai's second ball. Pat now grabs the final ball and starts working on the table maze.
The camera zooms in on Orealla's maze as Geoff gets the ball very close to the centre; however, the ball falls through a hole in the maze, forcing Geoff to start again, much to the frustration of his tribe.
Soon, both Sal and Pat appear to be closing in on finishing the maze for their tribe, though Pat is on his sixth attempt and is slightly ahead, while Sal is on his eighth attempt, having already been close a few times.
Pat nears the end of the table maze for Wai Wai, though his ball falls through that same hole close to the centre that Geoff's had a few minutes ago.
Sal's ball is then shown approaching that same hole, with the comedian very gingerly trying to work the ball around it. After a few tense moments, Sal lands the ball in the centre of the maze.

Jeff Probst: That does it! (Raises arms) INGARIKÓ WINS IMMUNITY!! Safe from Tribal Council!

The Ingarikó tribe, most notably Bernadette each run up to Sal to congratulate him, with the tribe then loudly celebrating together as the other two tribes look on, both appearing disappointed. The camera focuses on Neville, who appears frustrated and angry, then on Billy, who suddenly appears extremely nervous, and as though he may be getting sick to his stomach. Geoff happens to notice this and puts his arm around the early childhood educator to comfort him. After a time skip Jeff is shown facing the three tribes.

Jeff Probst: Ingarikó, congratulations! Huge win for you guys!

Jeff now walks the full immunity statue, a jaguar perched on a hill of skulls, over to the Ingarikó tribe and hands it to Bernadette, who excitedly takes it from him.

Jeff Probst: Nobody from Ingarikó going home tonight. Grab your stuff, head back to camp. (Cheeky) Try and stay as dry as you can.

The Ingarikó tribe thank Probst and grab their bags with smiles plastered across their faces, most notably Kye's. They then leave the challenge arena, allowing Jeff to turn to the other two tribes.

Jeff Probst: Wai Wai, Orealla, unfortunately I cannot say the same for you. Here's how this will work. Orealla will attend Tribal Council first and vote the third person out of this game. Wai Wai will then come in and vote the fourth person out of this game. Tomorrow, you guys, along with the Ingarikó tribe, will learn the results of each Tribal Council. As always, you will have the afternoon to figure out who will be the third and fourth people voted out of Survivor: Guyana. Grab your stuff, head back to camp. I'll see you all at Tribal.

As the castaways grab their bags and make their way back to camp, the camera first focuses on the Wai Wai tribe, and the nervous expressions on the faces of Neville, then Pat, followed by the stoic expression on Jessica M.'s face. The camera then switches over to the Orealla tribe, showing close-ups of Frank, Irene, and finally Billy, who is biting down hard on his bottom lip as the scene switches to his confessional.

BILLY
	"Well dude... here I am... heading to my first Tribal Council on day eight, where this tribe is going to vote the third person out of the game. Dude, I just... can't help but get flashbacks to Uruguay, 'cause on that season, I was the third person voted out... on day eight! (Puts his head in his hands) It would be one thing if I at least felt good about my position in my tribe, felt a connection with people, and trusted a solid alliance. But the fact of the matter is, dude... I just don't. (Sighs heavily) I guess all I can do is talk to the people I have some sorta connection or agreement with, and hope they realize they can trust me. There's just no way in hell I can let myself get voted out here, dude... (shakes head) not again."

Once Billy's confessional has finished, one last shot of the nervous expression on his face appears on the screen before the fooatge fades into a commercial break.

Orealla[]

The program now returns from the commercial break with the beige Orealla tribe flag appearing on the screen. The disappointed returning players are then shown arriving back at camp and placing their belongings back in the shelter.

Geoff: Well... (Sighs) this was bound to happen sooner or later. I just kinda wish it was later.

Most of the other returning players begin to nod in apparent agreement with Geoff's statement. There is now an awkward silence among the group, with the camera soon settling on Frank, who appears very stoic.

FRANK
	"As far as I'm concerned, it's about time we're going to Tribal! There's a lot of fat in this group that I'd love nothing more to trim off of this tribe, namely Billy and Irene, 'cause they're nothing more than immature pot-stirrers who don't seem like the brightest crayons in the box anyway. I still don't like either Billy or Irene on a personal level, and I don't trust either of 'em whatsoever on a game level, so I almost don't care which of those two go! For me, it'll just come down to which one's elimination puts me in the best strategic position to move forward in this game."

Upon the completion of Frank's confessional, the scene switches to a private area of the camp where Geoff and Billy can be seen talking quietly. Billy still appears extremely nervous and panicky, while Geoff appears concerned for the younger man.

Billy (Shaking his head): I dunno what's come over me, dude. I ain't a superstitious person usually, but this is still the exact same day and the exact same spot I went out in last time.

Geoff (Sympathetic): You just have to try and put that our of your mind. Focus on the game and the relationships that you've developed out here. That should give us a good idea as to how to proceed, right?

Billy: I dunno how solid they are anymore, dude. I thought I was doin' alright for a while... (shrugs; shakes head) but now it's quite obvious just how much I don't fit in 'round here.

Geoff (Confused): What do you mean by that? You're one of the most social and extroverted people I've ever met. From what I've seen, you a pretty good job conversing with most people here, and it seems like you fit in just fine. Maybe you're just reading into things too much.

Billy's face drops, left speechless by the personal injury lawyer's comments. Upon seeing Billy's reaction, Geoff becomes further confused. After taking a moment to process his thoughts, Billy passionately responds.

Billy: Dude... did you not see what went down in the shelter yesterday?! I was completely ignored by everyone! Every damn time I'd go to say somethin', someone would talk over me, and you all just f***in' carried on like I didn't f***in' exist! Also dude, Frank quite obviously hates me for some reason! Like dude, I feel like you are literally the only person on this whole, entire tribe that I actually have a bond with.

It is now Geoff that is left speechless by Billy's comments. The personal injury lawyer's mouth falls open and he appears to be overcome with a feeling of guilt. After a momentary pause, Billy continues his rant.

Billy: Yeah dude, we may technically be aligned with Sheila, Kelly-Ann, 'n' Irene, I guess. But I dunno how trustworthy any of 'em are! All I know dude is that they agreed to work with us, and that they prob'ly ain't actually interested in my company 'round here when it's not about the game! So no, dude! I don't fit in on this tribe! I'm f***in' scared that I don't actually have relationships with people that are willin' to play the game with me! (Sighs heavily) I can't go home now, dude... I can't. I can't let myself be humiliated again. But... I dunno how to fix the position I'm in, dude... or get people to trust me if they barely even willingly talk to me 'bout normal s***!

Geoff (Guilt-Ridden): I... I'm so, so sorry, Billy. I had no idea you felt that way.

Billy (Shakes head): Of course you didn't, dude. You actually get along with everyone here, dude, 'n' you have relationships of your own that you've built here. So I can't expect you to babysit me to make sure I'm doin' okay like I'm one of your kids or somethin'.

Geoff: But it was never my intention for you to feel left out, or unwelcome, or for you to have any reason to doubt my loyalty to you. Regardless of the relationships I may have developed with other people, I happen to enjoy the causal conversations that you and I have out here. I promise you that I've had your back since the beginning, and I will continue to have your back in this game. You can count on me because I will not let you leave this game tonight.

Billy (Nods): Thanks Geoff... I do appreciate it. (Sighs) But dude... you're one dude! Do you really think I can trust these other people when they showed me yesterday that they don't give a s*** to have anything to do with me?

Geoff: If they gave you their word, let's go off of that as a starting point. You have to trust someone out here. From what you've said, Kelly-Ann, Sheila, and Irene are our best chances of being on the right side of the numbers for this upcoming vote. We also have something going on with Frank, so I think we should be okay, just looking at the layout of this tribe. (Shrugs) Ella is not very strong in challenges, so why don't we target her first and go from there?

Billy (Sighs heavily): Frank treats me like s***, dude. I'm really startin' to regret alignin' with him. Like, I don't trust him not to target me... but I'm scared to target him 'cause I'm worried 'bout what'll happen if word gets back to Frank. He could say that I'm still the same liar I was in Uruguay, and get the numbers to get rid of me 'cause everyone'll think I'm untrustworthy!

Geoff (Optimistic): On the plus side, I at least seem to have a decent rapport with Frank. If I get the sense he's turning on us, I'll let you know so we can put our brains together and come up with a plan to get him out instead. For now, I think Ella seems like a good primary target, but we can always have Frank as a back-up plan if things go south.

Billy (Nods slowly): I guess you're right, dude. Hopefully your plan works 'cause I just can't bear the thought of goin' home tonight.

Geoff (Firmly): Hey, look me in the eyes.

Geoff takes the index and middle fingers on one hand and points them towards his own eyes while Billy lifts his head up to look directly at the personal injury lawyer.

Geoff: You are not going home tonight. Don't think like that. We'll get through this together.

GEOFF
	"I wasn't expecting to have to go into 'Dad mode' with Billy today, but I certainly do understand his anxiety and his frustration over the possibility of going home this early in the game. Especially with it being the same day and same position he went home in Uruguay, I'd probably have some feelings of déjà vu myself if I was in his shoes. My read on the situation right now is that Billy and I should not have anything to worry about, and that we just need to focus on making sure we send the right person home. That said... (sighs) I do feel terrible for not recognizing that Billy was not feeling comfortable on this tribe and that he felt ignored when all eight of us were crammed in the shelter, so I want to do my best to make it up to him tonight, and hopefully after the vote, his confidence will start to come back and he starts feeling like himself. Admittedly though... I do also feel like if I get Billy through tonight's vote, then I will have his unwavering loyalty through the end of the game, so there's that too." (Giggles)

Billy: Sorry dude, I don't mean to do this to you. I'm prob'ly just freakin' out dude 'cause I don't feel a real bond with anyone else, and like, I also was voted out third in Uruguay on day eight, which is today. I ain't superstitious normally, but... yeah dude, it's just gettin' to me.

Geoff: You have no reason to be sorry, Billy. I'm sorry I wasn't there for you earlier, especially yesterday. I won't let that happen again.

Billy (Nods): Thanks... (sighs) If only I had an idol or somethin', dude. But I've been too paranoid to even look 'cause I'm so worried 'bout gettin' caught lookin' and a target bein' put on my back. (Shakes head) My brain's so f***ed up right now, dude. (Forces a giggle)

Geoff (Shrugs): To be honest, I think most of us are probably thinking the same thing. Maybe I've gone blind, but I don't think there has been a lot of idol hunting going on here. So you're probably being smart by holding off on the idol hunting for now. (Smiles) So there you go, you're doing something right.

Geoff pats Billy on the back as the early childhood educator momentarily chuckles to himself.

Billy: Thanks dude.

Geoff: Even if you did have one, I highly doubt you'll need it anyway. We're going to get through this vote tonight, and we'll be in a good position. I'm confident about that.

Billy (Shrugs): If you say so, dude.

BILLY
	"Dude, Geoff is for sure the only person I really trust out here, and I'm glad I was able to talk through things with him today. He did help me see that things are prob'ly not hopeless for me at the moment, and I do think there's a good chance the vote could go the way I want it to if there's other people tell me the truth, dude. It's hard for me to trust anyone here strategically when they barely seem interested in connectin' with me personally, 'n' I still really doubt that I fit in on this tribe at all. But, you know what, dude? Geoff seems to have good relations with these people, 'n' I trust Geoff 100% right now, so I'm willin' to rely on his relationships to get me through this vote 'n' prevent me from completely humiliatin' myself on national T.V. again."

Once Billy's confessional fades out, we are taken to a transitional shot of a jaguar prowling through the jungle before the scene switches to a tense conversation taking place near the water well between Frank, K.C., and Ella. While the two men have stoic/serious expressions on their faces, Ella appears noticeably anxious, something that the police officer picks up on.

K.C.: You alright, Ella?

Ella (Shrugs): I'm fine, I guess. I just don't know what to expect from this vote because I haven't gotten much from anyone out here yet. Honestly, I'm pretty sure this is the first real conversation I'm having with either of you.

K.C.: Well, if it helps, I'm in the same boat. So we gotta come up with a plan for tonight.

Frank (Blunt): This tribe is being run by Sheila at the moment, along with her cronies, Kelly-Ann, and Irene, and we need to put an end to it.

As the real estate agent talks, the camera quickly switches to the main camp are, where Sheila can be seen cleaning her purple glasses near the shelter. The scene then quickly returns to the current conversation.

Frank (Continuing): From what I understand Ella, you and I are the only ones in this whole tribe that haven't been approached by Sheila for some kind of alliance. If things don't change 'round here, either you or I are gonna be voted out first, and I'm not about to let that happen.

Ella: So what do you suggest? Do you think we can get the numbers to vote Sheila out? (Shrugs) Like, if Irene and Kelly-Ann are tightest with her, we should be able to get Billy and Geoff on board to turn the tables, one would think.

Frank (Scoffs): I ain't trusting Billy for a hot second! Kid asked me to join an alliance with him and Geoff yesterday, and also hinted that he already had some sorta deal with Irene, Kelly-Ann, and Sheila. He was one of the biggest liars in Uruguay, and I think he's playing a similar game this time around.

Ella: But if we can appeal to him and Geoff, and get them to understand that Sheila is running the game and has no long-term plans for them, that should be enough to change their minds, right? K.C., what has Sheila told you? Frank said that he and I were the only ones she made no promises to.

K.C.: She simply mentioned being willing to work with me, Kelly-Ann, and Irene, and that those two were super tight with each other. For me, especially if Sheila's the one making most of the deals, Kelly-Ann is probably our best target anyway since she probably will be more of a threat down the road, and this would inevitably weaken Sheila. Besides, if Kelly-Ann and Irene are as tight as Sheila says they are, that splits up a close partnership too.

Ella: Makes sense. But with Irene being weaker in challenges than Kelly-Ann, on top of appearing to instigate a lot of our drama, I'd rather it be her. I'd trust Irene even less in a swap scenario, plus it is still weakening Sheila, and splitting up that same duo.

Frank (Blunt): Look, our best bet is to split the votes between Billy and Irene.

Both Ella and K.C. shoot Frank a confused glare.

Ella & K.C. (In unison): Billy?!

Frank: The kid's such a snake! All he's good for is challenges, and we'll be just fine in those without him.

Ella: But if the trio we're trying to weaken is Sheila, Kelly-Ann, Irene, how does including Billy in the split vote make any sense? Also... how do we split the vote with just three people?

Frank: We make it clear to Geoff and Billy that they have to vote Irene, while we get Irene, Sheila, and Kelly-Ann to all vote Billy. If either of 'em pull out an idol, the other goes home. If the vote does tie 4-4, then we will ultimately be able to decide who leaves between Billy and Irene since we'd have the majority. If either Billy or Irene decide to deviate from the original plan, then they will likely pay the price by going home themselves.

Ella: Again though, how exactly does Billy going benefit any of us? He's good in challenges, he's not making alliances with everyone under the sun, and he's not part of that trio we're trying to mitigate.

Frank: However, if Billy goes, then Geoff is smart enough that he'd join us to form a majority alliance, and we'll be able to pick those women off.

K.C. (Frustrated): But why not just pull Geoff into our alliance now then and still vote out Irene, Sheila, or Kelly-Ann? Oh yeah, 'cause he's tight with Billy. You really think we're gonna be able to just blindside his closest ally then bring him into our alliance without issue?

Frank (Persistent): Geoff ain't stupid, I'm sure that if Billy goes, he'd be smart enough to realize that joining us would be best for his game.

Ella (Annoyed): You know what, guys? Enough!

Shocked by the usually mild-mannered psychology student's tone, K.C. and Frank each shoot Ella a confused glare.

Ella (Firm): If we're gonna go through with this plan, let's just see how everyone else responds before we make a decision as to who to get rid of. This back and forth is getting us nowhere.

K.C. (Sighs then nods): Yeah, I agree with that. We ain't coming to an agreement between us right here, that much is clear.

Ella: Exactly.

ELLA
	"If I had my choice in allies, Frank and K.C. are honestly probably the last two I'd pick. But then again, the only sorta kinda deal I have with anyone here is my little agreement between Kelly-Ann and I to keep each other's names off the chopping block. If Sheila, Kelly-Ann, and Irene are as tight as Frank and K.C. say they are, and if they have made actual deals with everyone except Frank and I, then yeah, that's concerning, and that limits my options greatly. In saying that, Frank's insistence on targeting Billy of all people in light of this makes zero sense to me, and it leads me to believe that Frank is not only power hungry, but that something's going on between them that he's not telling either me or K.C., since K.C. does seem to be just as confused as I am about Billy being a target. If Frank's hiding information from who he wants to think are his closest allies, that places my trust in him on shaky ground to say the least. So, I for sure need more information before committing myself to any particular plan for Tribal tonight."

K.C.: So, if this split vote with the whole tribe is going to happen, who's voting who at the first vote?

Frank: Well, it'll have to be the trio of ladies voting Billy, Billy and Geoff voting Irene, and the three of us splitting our votes. Ella, you can vote Billy, and K.C. and I can vote Irene.

Ella (Shrugs): Alright.

K.C.: I'm fine with that being the tentative plan for now if you insist on Billy being a target. But I'd rather one of those three women, especially Kelly-Ann or Irene leave tonight, and I'll stick to that.

Frank: As I said, if Billy goes, then Geoff is alone, and his only logical move is to come with us But as you said, this plan is tentative, and we can tweak it based on how the others respond. The good thing is, if we divide and conquer right now, nobody will suspect the three of us as working together, and if we present Billy as the vote, then those ladies will continue to think nobody is on their radar.

FRANK
	"Sheila, Kelly-Ann, and Irene may think they're slick, especially Sheila, but they're gonna have no idea what hit 'em after tonight. The people they've left out of their schemes have come together, figured 'em out, and we're gonna divide and conquer. The best part is, if everything goes to plan tonight, either Billy or Irene are going home. So by default, I'm gonna be at least 50% happier when Tribal's over 'cause that'll be one less annoying, lying, pot-stirring child around camp. Lord knows that Billy and Irene are good for nothing more than causing problems out here, so knowing that one of them are for sure going if this plan comes together just makes me very excited for Tribal Council."

After Frank's confessional, the camera briefly returns to the scene with him, K.C., and Ella, focusing in on the stoic expressions on each of their faces before fading into a shot of a tarantula crawling over a fallen tree. From there, we are taken to an area nearby the beach where the remaining five members of the tribe are having a conversation of their own.

Sheila: Well, the five of us here are the majority of the tribe. We can essentially vote out whoever we want as long as we all remain loyal. Who was everyone thinking?

Geoff: Personally, I think Ella should be the target tonight.

The camera quickly shows Ella back at camp running her fingers through her hair before returning to the current conversation as Geoff continues to speak.

Geoff (Continuing): She's not particularly great in challenges or useful around camp, and she is also wicked smart. So really, she doesn't benefit us as a tribe much right now, and I think that if we let her far enough into the game, I can see her being a huge threat to win.

Billy (Nodding): Yeah, I'm in full agreement with votin' Ella tonight, dudes.

Kelly-Ann: I personally would rather Frank be the one to go home tonight.

The camera now pans around to show Billy nervously biting down on his bottom lip and twirling his long hair with one hand before switching to a brief shot of Frank at camp tending to the tribe's fire. As this is happening Kelly-Ann is making her pitch with the camera soon re-focusing on her.

Kelly-Ann (Continuing): Frank honestly just seems really, really slimy to me, and I think between he and Ella, Ella would be much more loyal down the road, and more loyal to us come a swap or a merge.

Geoff (Butting in): Which is an ironic statement coming from you, considering what happened between you and Ella in Montserrat.

The camera re-focuses on Kelly-Ann as the entomologist takes a moment to cross her arms and shrug her shoulders before a smirk comes across her face.

Kelly-Ann: What can I say? I'm a forgiving person! (Giggles) Besides, that was more than three years ago now, and all holding a grudge got me last time was voted out pre-merge.

Irene (Butting in): Well, I hate to be different...

The other castaways in the vicinity each shoot Irene confused glares.

Irene (Giggles): Okay, not really. But still, my vote would be for K.C. to leave tonight.

K.C. is now shown back at camp sitting on the edge of the shelter and looking around before the camera returns to the conversation as Irene continues talking.

Irene: Ever since the start of the game, I feel like that guy has had it out for me, especially since the machete incident happened. Like, he just can't let it go!

Billy (Rolls eyes): Maybe that's 'cause you keep bringin' it up, dude.

Irene now proceeds to shoot Billy an annoyed glare.

Billy (Under breath): Just sayin'.

Sheila (Speaking up): I feel like I have to agree with Geoff and put my vote towards Ella leaving tonight. Don't get me wrong, she's a sweetheart. But all Frank has been doing is isolating himself around here, and nobody in their right mind would trust him or align with him. Frank is just making himself easy to pick off whenever we feel like it. K.C. on the other hand? Out of our three options, he has the best track record when it comes to loyalty in this game. Then as for Ella, as Geoff said, she will be a threat later on, and I can definitely see people underestimating her, especially those new players.

Kelly-Ann (Sighs): I mean, it seems like there's three out of five here that want Ella out, so I'm not about to object. I do also think you have valid points too, so I'm on board.

Irene (Groans): Ugh, I'd really rather it be one of those two old men, but apparently this is a damn democracy.

Billy and Sheila both start chuckling for a few seconds.

Irene: Don't be worried though, I'm not dumb enough to betray my allies on our first vote. You can count me in on voting Ella as well. Other than actually enjoying her presence around camp more, I don't have any other reason to keep her around.

Kelly-Ann (Playfully rolls eyes): It's alright, Irene. I feel the same way as you do.

KELLY-ANN
	"This may sound bad, but I don't feel all that bad about my alliance targeting Ella tonight. Sure, Ella and I may have made a little pact on the down low to try and keep each other's names off the chopping block on day one, but the way I see it, "try" is the key word there. If most of the tribe are wanting her out, then I'm not in much of a position to push something else. Don't get me wrong, I was open to playing the game with Ella, but even if she went out of her way to save me in Montserrat instead of flipping on me, I don't think we owe each other anything. If fate doesn't want us working together, I'm not going to be losing sleep over it. My sleep cycle is screwed up as it is just being out here and sleeping on bamboo anyway. (Laughs)"

Once Kelly-Ann's confessional has finished, we see that the group has split up, with the men heading in one direction, and the women walking in the other direction. The camera first focuses on Billy and Geoff as they quietly discuss the previous conversation.

Geoff (Grinning): See? There you have it. The vote seems to be decided.

Billy (Takes a deep breath): If you say so.

Geoff (Raising an eyebrow): You don't believe me?

Billy: It's not that, dude... not at all. I just don't trust those girls, 'specially Irene, since she never really seemed fully on board with the whole, votin' Ella thing.

Geoff: Eve though Irene may have indicated that she'd rather vote out K.C. or Frank first, she said herself that she'd be dumb to turn on her allies at the first vote. I trust that she meant it... 'cause it is true, after all. (Chuckles) So, I don't doubt that Irene will be loyal to us, at least for tonight.

Billy (Nods): Thanks dude, that makes me feel a bit better. I'm just glad that Sheila was able to get Kelly-Ann 'n' Irene off of votin' Frank. As I've said, dude, I'm just worried 'bout what would happen if Frank ever caught on 'bout there bein' a plan to vote him, 'specially if he thinks I might be in on it.

Geoff (Nodding): Yeah, I can see why you're paranoid about that. (Grins) At least now, you don't have anything to worry about. We can rest easy for tnoight.

Billy (Smiles): Thanks dude.

BILLY
	"Dude, knowin' that a solid plan is in place to vote out Ella 'n' that the numbers are like, actually there does take a huge-ass weight off of my shoulders. Even though I'm still a bit unsure how much I can trust Sheila, Irene, 'n' Kelly-Ann, and for how long, hearin' them each physically tell me, straight-up, that Ella's goin' home tonight, dude, that still does ease my worries 'bout tonight's Tribal so damn much. Hopefully everythin' goes as planned, dude, so I can continue on my road to redemption!" (Smiles hopefully)

From Billy's confessional, the scene switches over to show Sheila, Kelly-Ann, and Irene walking in the other direction as they talk about the conversation with Billy and Geoff they just recently had.

Sheila (Proudly): That's a wrap, ladies! Now we can relax all the way to Tribal Council!

Kelly-Ann (Apprehensively): You sure it's gonna be that simple?

Sheila (Rolls eyes): Well, probably not knowing who else we're stuck on a tribe with that wasn't part of that group. (Smiles) However, I do trust Billy and Geoff to follow through with their promises to us to vote Ella. So as long as we each stay solid, I'm confident she's as good as gone.

Irene (Scoffs): You really think that we can trust Billy of all people?

Sheila (Confused): Why not? He and Geoff are very obviously like this:

The stay-at-home mom crosses her index and middle fingers on her right hand, and shows this to Irene and Kelly-Ann.

Sheila (Continuing): Geoff is clearly all in on this move, and there's no way that he and Billy don't vote together.

Irene: I feel like Geof seemed kinda, over-enthusiastic about it, if you ask me. Besides, did you not see how Billy suddenly got nervous when Kelly brought up Frank's name? I really wonder if they're working together.

Sheila: Billy and Frank are like oil and water, they don't get along whatsoever. I feel like you're probably just reading too much into that and that he's probably just really nervous about Tribal.

Kelly-Ann: That's my hope, at least. I am a bit wary about aligning with Billy, to be honest with you, especially seeing how he played in Uruguay.

Irene (Butting in): Like, I know, right? He's such a snake in this game!

Kelly-Ann (Firmly): But, I don't think either he or Geoff gave us any reason not to trust them for tonight. I say we should just stick to this plan we came up with and not let things get too complicated.

Irene scowls and crosses her arms as Sheila enthusiastically responds to the entomologist's comments.

Sheila: Exactly! For all we know, Billy might just be smart enough to realize his style of play in Uruguay got him nowhere, which could mean he's playing differently this time. I'm willing to give him a chance for tonight. Besides, as much of a sweetheart as Ella is, she doesn't seem to benefit this tribe, or any of us individually, by staying here very long.

Irene (Shakes head): Billy just reminds me way too much of that douche-bro, Emil, who I was forced to live with for 11 grueling days in Mozambique, and all Emil did was drive everyone mad, especially me. I'm not even talking about him in Uruguay, I'm talking about what Billy has been like to live with these past eight days alone.

Sheila (Giggles): Sweetie, I'm not saying we align with Billy forever, just for this next vote at least, 'cause I trust he and Geoff are with us.

Kelly-Ann (Nods): Yeah, and nobody's saying spend all your time with him. If you ever just want girl time, feel free to come and find me. Whatever happens though, I want the three of us all in the Final Tribal Council.

Sheila (Nodding vigorously): Me too! I've been dreaming about the three of us being at the end together since day one. I'm excited to make it happen! We are the "Queens' Bench" after all, so let's get it done, my fellow Queens.

Kelly-Ann proceeds to laugh at Sheila's remark referencing their alliance name, while Irene can't help but giggle and playfully roll her eyes as well.

Kelly-Ann: Exactly!

Irene (Shrugs): Alright then, whatever, fair enough, I guess. I can't argue that the two of you are the most tolerable people on this God-forsaken tribe. So I'm in to get us three to the end.

IRENE
	"Honest to God, I'm with Sheila and Kelly-Ann 'cause I got no other choice right now. Like, I just happen to like them compared to those other morons I'm trapped with. I'd love to get rid of K.C. tonight, but that clearly isn't happening, so I was willing to settle for voting Frank or Billy, which Sheila and Kelly-Ann just aren't having since they trust Douche-Bro Billy and his lawyer friend to vote Ella for some reason. Like, I'm fine with Ella going 'cause she's pretty much nothing more than just another mouth to feed with our limited food supply right now, and that is what my allies all want. But if something else comes up that'll lead to someone I hate going home and give me some actual control around here so I can take my rightful place as Queen of Guyana, trust me, I'll be all over that s*** in no time!" (Giggles)

Once Irene's confessional fades out, a brief shot of a parrot on a tree branch appears on the screen before switching over to show a conversation taking place between K.C. and Sheila in the jungle.

K.C.: Have you heard any update about the vote?

Sheila: Actually, I have. Kelly-Ann and Irene were saying that Ella's going out tonight.

K.C. (Taken aback): Ella? Out?!

Sheila (Nods): Mmmm Hmmm.

K.C.: What reason?

Sheila: Apparently she's the weakest link in the challenges, and will very likely be a strategic threat in the future.

K.C.: Are you potentially open to doing something else?

Sheila (Shakes head): No, there'd be no point.

K.C. (Confused): What do you mean?

Sheila: There's four solid votes going against Ella already. If we want to do anything else, the best we got is a rock draw.

K.C. scowls and crosses his arms, visibly unimpressed by this statement.

Sheila (Continuing): Besides, even if there wasn't the threat of rocks, I don't think I can do anything else. Irene and Kelly-Ann may be closest with each other, but they still think I'm along for the ride with them. They've made up their minds, and I'm not turning on them the first chance I get.

The police officer continues to glare at Sheila, appearing more agitated by this statement.

Sheila (Firmly): I promise you're my number one, but they don't need to know that. I'm telling you this now so you can rest easy knowing that you're safe, and can vote on the right side of the numbers.

K.C. (Shrugs): Alright then... thanks for telling me.

K.C.
	"I don't believe a word that comes out of Sheila's mouth! She's a strong, intelligent woman, and not at all the type to just get filled in on information about the vote and let people make decisions for her. No, she was the head honcho of her little posse in Tasmania, and I don't see her settling for anything less out here. I also find it too damn convenient that the person her allies, along with two others, decided to target just so happened to be one of two people that Sheila has zero relationship with in this game. Ella going would just be too good of a move for Sheila's game right now for this decision to be all on Kelly-Ann and Irene. I have no problem letting Sheila think I'm on her side, or directing her to vote the way I want her to. But at the same time, I have no intentions of working with someone that's just going to lie to my face before I even cast my first vote. Screw that!"

K.C.: If we can get the numbers though, do you think you'd be open to doing something else?

Sheila: What would that be?

K.C.: Do you think you can convince Kelly-Ann and Irene to vote Billy tonight?

Sheila (Stunned): Billy?!

K.C. simply nods, leaving the stay-at-home mom somewhat speechless.

Sheila: But why?

K.C.: He and Geoff are just too tight, and I don't trust him as far as I can throw him because of how he played in Uruguay. He might be strong in challenges, but Geoff could be reigned in and trusted to stay loyal to this tribe come a tribe switch if Billy's not around, whereas the kid himself is just too unpredictable.

Sheila: Billy will not be a threat to win though, whereas Ella will be a threat down the road.

K.C.: That is down the road though. Ella is weak in challenges and we can get rid of her any time we like. Frank's the one that came to me with the idea to vote Billy, and he noted that Ella is totally alone right now, and she can be an asset going forward for us.

Sheila: I'm just not sure if I'd like to cut our strongest guy so early. But... (shrugs) I guess there's no harm in talking to Irene and Kelly-Ann.

K.C.: That's all I'm saying. I'd get rid of Billy before Ella if I had my way, just because there are too many question marks around the guy. But if we have to vote Ella to avoid a rock draw, then I'm on board. I'm not doing that on the first vote, no way.

Sheila: Absolutely, that's my exact thought process as well.

K.C.: Perfect. Just let me know before Tribal what's happening.

Sheila (Smiles): Sure thing!

SHEILA
	"I'll be honest, Billy going home tonight did not cross my mind until I spoke with K.C., but the move does make sense. Billy is acting very nervous and paranoid, he is extremely tight with Geoff, and nobody really knows how he's going to play this time. I do believe that Billy would be loyal to me in the short term, but his relationship with Geoff, and the way he played in Uruguay does make me wonder if committing to something long term with him would be a good idea for me. The fact of the matter is, Ella is not only someone I have no allegiance to, but she is very smart, and she's not good in challenges either. From my perspective, Ella going home tonight is a good move by default because it wouldn't ruffle any feathers, and my Queens' Bench alliance would still be in power. But K.C. does have me wondering if perhaps a big move that could eliminate a lot of question marks out of the gate would be a better way to go because it could give us more long term stability in this game."

Following Sheila's confessional, a transitional shot of a capybara in the bushes appears. The scene then switches over to the main camp area, where Billy can be seen laying in the shelter alone, appearing to be deep in thought. After a moment, the camera pans around to show Kelly-Ann returning to camp by herself and heading straight for the shelter. As the entomologist gets closer, Billy lifts his head up, as he can now hear someone approaching. Once Kelly-Ann arrives at the edge of the shelter, she reaches for her canteen. At this time, Billy acknowledges her presence.

Billy: Hey, dude.

Kelly-Ann takes a quick drink of water from her canteen, then proceeds to nod in Billy's direction.

Kelly-Ann: Hey.

There is a moment of relative silence as Kelly-Ann takes another sip of water from her canteen before screwing the lid back on and putting it back where she got it from. She then turns to walk away, but soon pauses and turns back around to speak to the early childhood educator.

Kelly-Ann: You doing okay, Billy?

Billy (Instinctively): Yeah dude, I'm fine. (Short pause) You?

Kelly-Ann (Shrugs): As good as can be expected, I guess. Nervous for Tribal, but I think that's most of us.

Billy (Nodding): For sure, dude. (Giggles awkwardly) I'm scared s***-less, to be honest.

Kelly-Ann appears to take this comment as some sort of cue, climbing inside the shelter to sit next to Billy, which catches the early childhood educator off guard, and prompts him to sit upright.

Kelly-Ann: Yeah, I know the feeling. I sure hope that if I make it through tonight that this doesn't become another season of me getting votes at literally every second Tribal. (Giggles awkwardly)

Billy (Nodding): Yeah, I'm just hopin' that I can get past two Tribals this time, dude.

Kelly-Ann: Oh, no doubt. (Brief pause) You sure you're doing okay?

Caught off guard by this question, Billy jerks his head back a bit.

Billy (Awkwardly): Uhh... yeah, dude... why do you ask?

Kelly-Ann now tilts her head to one side and glares at Billy, confusing the early childhood educator.

Billy (Giggles awkwardly): What, dude? You don't believe me?

Kelly-Ann (Shakes head): No, frankly I don't. You seemed pretty damn nervous when we were talking with Sheila, Geoff, and Irene a little while ago, especially when I brought up the idea of voting out Frank.

A look of fear now comes across Billy's face. After a moment, the scene switches to his confessional.

BILLY
	"I ain't gonna lie, dude. I just about s* myself when Kelly-Ann called me out on my feelings 'bout votin' Frankie outta this game while we were talkin' in the shelter. At least she had the decency to mention it to my face and in private, and at least she seemed to actually give half a s* 'bout how I actually feel, dude. But this was still like, our first real one-on-one chat, dude. So I'm not sure how much I can actually trust Kelly-Ann with stuff. (Sighs) But at the same time dude... I feel like I need to be able to rely on more than just Geoff out here. I love the guy, but like... I don't wanna keep burdening him with all the stupid s*** that keeps goin' through my mind. I don't want him to think of me as someone that he needs to babysit and drag to the end of this game, dude! (Shakes head) Hopefully Kelly-Ann actually is as genuine as she appeared, and hopefully she is another person I can actually trust out here."

Billy (Takes a deep breath): Well dude... ummm... it's just that...

Kelly-Ann: Yeah?

Billy: It's just that... ummm... on the first day out here, Frankie confronted Geoff 'n' I, and he... (finger quotes) "asked" us if we wanted to enter into an (finger quotes) "understanding" to just not write each other's names down.

Kelly-Ann (Probing): Frank (finger quotes) "asked" you guys for an alliance?

Billy (Shakes head): No dude, "understanding" was the word he used, and I'm sure you know his style of (finger quotes) "asking."

Kelly-Ann (Nods): More like, "demanding."

Billy: Exactly! He never said how long he wanted this to last, or who should go first. He was basically just like, "let's not vote for each other," if you know what I'm sayin'.

Kelly-Ann: Right.

Billy (Sighs): But ever since then, dude, Frank's treated me like dog s***. He barely speaks to me, and when he does, he talks like he's above even bein' around me. I'd love to get rid of him like you suggested, dude, but like... I don't wanna go back on that (finger quotes) "understandin,'" 'specially if he finds out, 'cause then, I'm back to bein' the same liar I was in Uruguay. (Sighs) I like to think that Frankie would be loyal, 'n' I'm guessin' he will 'cause he really likes Geoff. (Shrugs) But I just dunno know, dude.

Kelly-Ann: Yeah, I see what you mean.

Billy: Dude, I promise you I'm 150% stickin' to our alliance, and our plan to vote Ella tonight. I just hope you see why I can't vote Frank out tonight.

Kelly-Ann: For sure, and I don't doubt that you're going to vote Ella tonight. But thanks for telling me about Frank, everything makes total sense now.

Billy: You think so?

Kelly-Ann: I know so, I get it. Frank put you in a tough position, so I don't blame you for how you responded to him then, or for your reluctance to vote him out now. I do very much trust that you're playing a very different game this season than you did in Uruguay, and that you will be loyal to our alliance.

Billy (Smiles): Thanks dude, I really appreciate it.

Kelly-Ann: No problem at all.

KELLY-ANN
	"To be honest, I don't think Billy was telling me the whole truth about his alliance with Frank. My hunch is that this was mostly of a case of buyer's remorse, so to speak, with Billy now wanting to secure his alliance with me. I highly doubt Billy was just scared and nervous because Frank bullied him into agreeing not to write his name down, which seems to be what Billy is trying to imply happened. That being said, Billy is not exactly wrong about everything else he talked about. Frank doesn't treat him with respect, and I imagine that I'd probably have buyer's remorse too if I were in Billy's shoes. I want to believe he is being truthful when he says he's 150% loyal to our alliance and that he's playing differently than he id in Uruguay, but I don't know for sure. If he's this paranoid now, and has this much buyer's remorse now, I'm worried that his paranoia will only get worse as the game goes on and that it could become a problem for me out here."

From Kelly-Ann's confessional, we are taken to a conversation happening in the meantime between Frank and Geoff in a private area of the camp.

Frank (Blunt): What are you thinking for tonight?

Geoff: I think we can get the votes to send Ella out of here.

Frank: Ella? (Geoff nods) Why? With who?

Geoff: Sheila came up with the plan and she's pretty sure Irene and Kelly-Ann will be totally on board. Billy's already agreed to vote Ella as well, so the numbers are there.

Frank: But why?

Geoff: Between not helping us in challenges, being a potential strategic threat later, and flipping on Kelly-Ann to avoid rocks in Montserrat, Sheila just doesn't see the benefit to keeping Ella in the game for any of us. To be honest, I agree with her.

Frank: Here's the thing with Ella though, she's completely, and totally alone in this game right now, so we can use her vote to do something better. With her being weak in challenges, we can get rid of her whenever we like anyway.

Geoff: So what do you have in mind?

Frank: Sheila, Kelly-Ann, and Irene are running the game right now and making promises to everyone, K.C. and I figured it out yesterday. The only one Sheila never really approached with anything was Ella. That's probably why Sheila wants Ella out, she doesn't benefit her game in any way.

Geoff: So you want to vote Sheila?

Frank (Shakes head): No. According to K.C., Sheila is alleging Irene and Kelly-Ann to be the tightest group in the game, with Sheila being their third wheel.

Geoff (Shakes head): I don't buy that at all. I agree that Kelly-Ann and Irene are tight, but Sheila's definitely leading that alliance, not the other way around.

Frank: But we've also seen that Irene loves to stir up drama literally just because she can, and like Ella, she's not much help for us in challenges either. Irene going would (counts on fingers): Split up her duo with Kelly-Ann, weaken Sheila's game substantially, eliminate someone that under-performs both in challenges and at camp, and eliminates an unpredictable and untrustworthy player.

Geoff: That is a good point, and certainly something I'm willing to consider.

Frank (Blunt): K.C. and Ella are already on board anyway. So you just need to get your boy, Billy, in on it too, and the numbers are there.

Geoff appears taken aback by Frank's harsh tone, but after a momentary pause, he nods and responds.

Geoff: Noted. I think Billy should be easily able to be convinced given what Kelly-Ann, Irene, and Sheila have been doing out here. Do you think K.C. and Ella can be trusted going forward?

Frank: K.C. and Ella are easily more trustworthy than Sheila and Irene, no doubt about that. More than Billy too, honestly.

Geoff: I'm not at all worried about Billy, I know I can keep him close to me. The only thing that makes me wary about aligning with Ella is that she hasn't made any attempt to talk strategy with me or anything. I don't know where Ella stands, and I'm a bit concerned about aligning with someone that hasn't made any attempt to reach out, and the girl has flipped to avoid rocks before. So I think you can understand my reservations about aligning with Ella. At least Sheila has so much as reached out and indicated some sense of loyalty to this tribe.

Frank (Nods): Hmm... fair enough then. Just given how those three women, especially Irene, have shown that they're playing out here, I think getting Irene out is the better move, so that's where I'm throwing my vote. But talk to your boy and see if you can get him on board with the idea of voting Irene. If he does come on board, that'll be one smart decision he's made in his 26 years of existence.

FRANK
	"If my conversation with Geoff showed me anything, it's that he is exactly the type of person I wanna be working close with during this early stage of the game. He's a logical thinker like I am, and he knows how to think through his decisions carefully and thoroughly, which is more than I can say 'bout a lot of people here. Even if Geoff was hesitant to come on board with the idea of voting Irene, at least his reasons for considering voting out Ella make sense. I wouldn't want to work with someone either if they make no attempt to connect with me on a strategic level. The only thing that annoys me about Geoff is his close relationship with Billy, especially given that it looks like Geoff will always be tighter with Billy than with me. I don't like that one bit, and I'm afraid that it might have to be a problem that I have to take care of sooner rather than later."

As soon as the camera fades out of Frank's confessional, Geoff is shown in the main camp area approaching Billy, who appears to have just stepped out of the shelter. The personal injury lawyer then quickly pulls his friend aside with a sense of urgency, startling the early childhood educator a bit.

Billy: What's wrong, dude?

Geoff speaks at a very low volume, nearly whispering as he talks to Billy. This prompts Billy to lower his own voice to a near-whisper as well.

Geoff: Listen, Frank just approached me with a new plan, and I think it's worth considering.

Billy: What's that?

Geoff: He says he's got K.C. and Ella with him. They want Irene out, tonight.

Billy's mouth drops wide open and his heart starts to race, visibly distraught over what Geoff has just told him.

Billy (Panicking): Dude... I can't... I just can't. I literally just promised Kelly-Ann I was 150% with her.

Geoff (Comforting): It's okay, it's okay. I promise I will never commit to a move you're not comfortable with, but that's why I'm telling you this right now.

Billy: You're not the one with a reputation of bein' a pathological liar, dude!

Geoff: You're right, I'm not. But according to Frank, Sheila, Irene, and Kelly-Ann, especially Sheila, have been making multiple alliances with people, and the reason Sheila wants Ella out so bad is because she's the only one she doesn't have a relationship with. We know Irene likes to stir the pot if for no other reason than her own amusement, she isn't good in challenges, and her going would significantly weaken Sheila.

Billy lets out a long groan as he hangs his head and puts his hands over his face.

Billy: You sure Frank's telling the truth, dude?

Geoff (Awkwardly): I mean... that's my read on the situation. My gut is telling me that Frank is being truthful about Irene, Sheila, and Kelly-Ann, so if we can, I'd like to get a jump on them. You have to admit too, even without the three of them playing the whole tribe, they are a tight group of three.

Billy (Sighs): Yeah, I see what you're saying. I'm just worried that my reputation out here would be ruined if we vote Irene out, dude. You just know she'd call me on it too before she leaves!

Geoff: Which is why we have to make our decision carefully. As I said, I promise I'm not committing to a move you're not comfortable with. I have your back 100%.

GEOFF
	"I think that if it was up to me, and me alone, I'd probably vote Irene out tonight after all the information I got from Frank. Irene does love stirring up drama, and I never did fully trust her. So to hear that Irene, along with Sheila and Kelly-Ann, are all making multiple side deals is very concerning to me. However, I do believe them when they say they are voting Ella tonight, and I have to consider the position Billy is now in, because he is my closest ally. Billy's right, if he were to vote Irene out after promising to vote Ella, it would make him look horrible given his reputation, and Irene would definitely be the type to call him out in front of everyone. It might look bad on me as well if I get lumped in with that, and being lumped in with someone widely detested by the tribe was the reason I was voted out last season. This may be our first Tribal Council, but it could absolutely make or break both of our games, so we must cast our votes wisely tonight."

As the afternoon progresses, and the time for Tribal Council draws nearer, the rain stubbornly continues to fall, albeit light enough that the returning players are not trapped in the shelter. The scene then changes to a conversation in the jungle between Kelly-Ann and Ella.

Kelly-Ann: I know we're not working super close together or anything, but we did agree to try and keep each other's names off the block, so I thought it would be a good idea to catch up with each other and compare notes, so to speak.

Ella (Nodding): Yeah, for sure. What's happening on your end?

Kelly-Ann: Ummm... from what I'm understanding, it seems like the vote is between Frank and K.C. Irene just flat-out doesn't like K.C., but people don't seem to trust Frank either. Frank does treat Billy in particular pretty badly, if I'm being honest.

Ella: Yeah, I've noticed that too.

The camera now refocuses on Kelly-Ann as she presses her lips together, maintaining a serious expression on her face as the scene cuts to her confessional.

KELLY-ANN
	"I'm not about to tell Ella that she's a target for my alliance. That's a no-no in this game, especially considering that she's someone that's burned me in the past. It'll take a lot for me to trust Ella, and quite frankly, I'm still not sure if us actually working together is possible. (Shrugs) But at the same time, this is Survivor. Information is power out here, so if I can get reliable information from Ella, I'm gonna take it, and I'm gonna use it to my personal benefit as much as possible.."

Kelly-Ann: So how about you? What information do you have? Is it different from what I heard?

Ella (Nods): The only name I'm really hearing being thrown around as a target for tonight is Billy.

Kelly-Ann (Eyes widen): Billy?!

Ella: Yes, Billy.

ELLA
	"Kelly-Ann was pretty vague with the information she gave me about the vote, so I doubt she's telling me the whole truth. But I'm not satisfied being in an alliance with K.C. and Frank, so I am still interested in working with Kelly-Ann if I can, because at least I have some sort of established connection with her. Luckily, Frank's split vote plan, as bizarre as it sounds, does give me something concrete to give to Kelly-Ann while still allowing me to dance around the fact that her trio with Sheila and Irene has already been busted for playing most of the tribe. From my perspective, whether or not I want a strategic relationship between Kelly-Ann and I to exist going forward all depends on what she does with the information I do give her."

Kelly-Ann (Confused): Why Billy?

Ella: Frank is especially concerned that he is an untrustworthy, unpredictable player based on how he played the game in Uruguay, and he is not convinced that Billy has changed at all.

Kelly-Ann (Puts a hand up): Hold up! Frank is targeting Billy?

Ella (Nods): Yes he is. He's pretty adamant about putting votes on Billy too.

Kelly-Ann (Rolls eyes; Grumbling): That son of a bitch.

Ella (Confused): What's wrong?

Kelly-Ann takes a moment to look around and make sure nobody else is within earshot. Satisfied that she and Ella are alone, the entomologist speaks in a quiet, but firm tone.

Kelly-Ann: Promise me this stays between us.

Ella: Promise.

Kelly-Ann: A little while ago, Billy confided in me about Frank. He said that he was so hesitant to vote against the guy because Frank pressured him and Geoff into entering an (finger quotes) "understanding" not to vote for each other. Billy said that he regrets this now 'cause Frank treats him like dirt. But either way, Frank formed an alliance with Billy, and now, according to you, he's gunning for Billy the very first chance he's getting.

Ella (Troubled): Yeah... (shakes head) geez, that's messed up.

Kelly-Ann (Growing angrier): So, who's the real snake here, Ella? Who's really the untrustworthy liar? Credit to Billy, he had to be approached the idea to vote Frank, and he's hesitant to follow through with it. At least that shows that he somewhat values loyalty!

Ella (Nodding): You're right. I will say though that the other argument to get rid of Billy is that he and Geoff are very likely the tightest duo in the game, since they will clearly never break up. It is still a valid reason to vote Billy out. (Shrugs) Besides, just because Frank is twice the snake Billy is, that doesn't mean that Billy is not a snake or that we have any certainty about how he's going to play.

Kelly-Ann (Sighs heavily): I know, and I'll think about it. It's just... (shakes head) I'm floored at just the sheer audacity of Frank to pull this s***, especially if he tries to make the argument of Billy being untrustworthy when he's showing himself to be exactly that.

Ella: Yeah, and I agree. We just need to do what's best for our games.

ELLA
	"I'm shaking in my boots right now because this vote is really riding on Kelly-Ann and whether or not she's actually giving me factual information. If Billy did confide in her about Frank, and if everything she said to me is true, not only would I be even more concerned about my strategic relationship with Frank going forward and if I can trust anything he's saying, but it would also show that Billy is not just tight with Geoff, but Kelly-Ann too, and that Kelly-Ann is so well protected and has allies all over the place already! For all I know, Kelly-Ann could still be mad about what happened in Montserrat and fed me a bunch of lies so she can effectively plot my downfall. I hope that's not the case. But whether I like it or not, this Tribal will show where Kelly-Ann stands, and whether or not I can do anything about it."

The footage fades out of Ella's confessional and into a transitional shot of a jaguar looking around in the jungle before switching to a scene showing the three "Queens' Bench" allies meeting up in the jungle to discuss the vote.

Irene: Well ladies, it's almost time for Tribal. What's happening tonight?

Sheila: According to K.C., apparently he thinks the vote is going against Billy.

Kelly-Ann (Nods): Yeah, Ella was saying that Frank proposed the idea of voting Billy out to her and K.C. Sounds like they want us on board for the majority.

Irene (Smiles widely): Fantastic! Let's do it! I'd much rather vote Billy's douchey ass outta this game than Ella's Asian ass.

Kelly-Ann: The thing is though, I'm really not sure if Ella can be totally trusted. Besides, if what she's saying is true, I got some pretty big issues with Frank.

Irene (Puzzled): Ella's story matches with what K.C. told Sheila, mostly. So she's probably telling the truth from what I'm seeing. Sounds like Ella is more reliable than Frank, K.C., and Billy combined.

Kelly-Ann (Shrugs): I guess my concerns might be more to do with getting burned by Ella in Montserrat than I initially thought. (Giggles awkwardly) But then again, it also doesn't seem like she has given any of us anything until now. So for Ella to suddenly come out of the woodwork with allegations of Frank targeting Billy, I am wondering if she's got ulterior motives we should be concerned with.

Sheila (Slightly taken aback): You say "allegations" like Frank targeting Billy is a dirty move in and of itself.

Kelly-Ann (Choosing her words carefully): Well... Ella seemed to come to the conclusion that Frank pressured Billy and Geoff into aligning with him, and that Frank is now targeting Billy the first chance he gets, almost as if the proposed (finger quotes) "alliance" was entirely a ploy by Frank to pull the wool over Billy's eyes before blindsiding him.

Sheila (Very confused): But I thought you said just now that Ella was voting Billy with K.C. and Frank?

Kelly-Ann: I did. It's like Ella was trying to convince me to vote Billy out while simultaneously throwing Frank under the bus.

Sheila (Nodding): Oh, I see now. (Scrunches her face) Yeah, that is kinda sketchy.

Kelly-Ann: The stupid thing is... even if Ella's motives are questionable... I think I believe her. Billy did suddenly get nervous when I brought up voting Frank out.

Irene: So if Frank pressured Billy and Geoff into an alliance, do you think they will actually vote Ella like they said?

Kelly-Ann: 100%! There's no doubt in my mind. I talked to Billy again already, and he's solid with us and Geoff.

Sheila: I am worried about Billy's bond with Geoff though. He's clearly tighter with Geoff than he is with us, and if Geoff says "Jump," he'll immediately ask "How high?" If there's one person Billy will never betray, it's Geoff.

Irene (Nodding): Yeah, and that's saying something considering that Billy has a history of lying and backstabbing already, even though he was only in Uruguay a short time. Remember what he did to Shane and Mikol that season?

Kelly-Ann (Nodding slowly): Yeah, I know what you're both saying, and you're not wrong, Those concerns are valid. (Sighs) I guess I'm just more worried about Ella and Frank 'cause they are proving right now why they're untrustworthy.

Sheila: On the plus side, it seems like we know where everybody's votes are going at least. So as long as the three of us are solid with each other, we can do whatever we want at Tribal, and send home someone that benefits us.

Irene (Smirks): That's true. It does look like this game is in the hand of us three queens right now.

IRENE
	"As it turns out, my fellow queens, Kelly-Ann and Sheila, killed it today, and I'm so proud of them! We might be only an alliance of three, but it seems like we know how everyone is voting, and we are in full control tonight. Having all the power going into our first Tribal Council just makes me really happy and really excited for tonight! (Looks at imaginary watch) Yup, my throne shall be arriving from Mozambique any minute now! I can hardly wait to sit upon it again and show these people again why I am Queen Irene!"

As Irene's confessional finished up, we are shown the main area of the camp as the returning players pack for Tribal Council while the sun begins to set and a light rain continues to fall. A close-up of Irene with a confident smirk on her face appears first, followed by stoic expressions on the faces of Sheila and Kelly-Ann, with the camera briefly zooming in on the entomologist as she fixes her ponytail. Ella and K.C. are then shown on the screen packing their bags. Next, the camera pans around to show Frank putting on his jacket and fixing his tie. Then, a close-up of Billy and Geoff with their bags over their shoulders appears on the screen as Geoff pats Billy on the shoulder and flashes a smile in his direction. Billy proceeds to nod quickly in response to this before taking a deep breath. As the music grows more intense, the Orealla tribe is shown beginning their walk towards Tribal Council through the darkness, with Ella leading the way.

Wai Wai[]

We now return to the mid-afternoon as the rain falls at the Wai Wai camp. The teal blue tribe flag appears on the screen, followed by a shot of the entire tribe in the main area of the camp shortly after they returned from their disappointing finish in the immunity challenge. After a moment, the camera zooms in on Neville, who looks extremely serious and focused as he sits on the edge of the shelter.

NEVILLE
	"Although this tribe's loss in the immunity challenge was rather disappointing, I cannot express anger towards any particular individual, for I believe we put forth our best possible collective effort, and that our best was simply insufficient to secure a win today. Considering the penalty vote that shall be tallied against me tonight, in addition to the largely negative reception I received following our inaugural Tribal Council, I am undeniably nervous that my tenure in this competition could be coming to its unfortunate conclusion much earlier than I ever anticipated prior to setting foot in Guyana. Though I have spent considerable time over the past several days focusing on establishing my social game on the advice of Evander, I am cognizant of the fact that it is now time to play strategically so that I may be able to return to this camp following this evening's vote."

Following Neville's confessional, the scene transitions to a conversation involving him, Arthur, Anu, Whiteney, and Evander taking place near the water well.

Arthur: Well, that sucked worse than the remake of Ghostbusters. I don't wanna vote anyone out tonight man, I really don't.

Anu (Shrugs): Yeah well, it's gotta be done, I guess. Now we just have to make a decision of who to vote out.

Arthur: How does everyone feel 'bout votin' out Pat tonight?

Upon hearing this, Whitney tenses up a little and presses her lips together.

Neville: I reckon that is a swell idea, Arthur. Pat is our weakest challenge performer, and my hunch suggests that this will be a tribe game for quite some time.

Arthur (Matter-of-Factly): What are your thoughts about booting Pat, Whitney?

Caught off guard by the YouTube film critic's tone, the nature photographer jerks her head back a little. Her face then starts to turn pink as she awkwardly responds.

Whitney: Ummm… I do, uhhh… see Neville's point, I do. (Shrugs) I would uhh… prefer to vote out Jessica tonight though... if that's alright with everyone.

Neville and Arthur then shoot each other a knowing look, which prompts Anu to raise an eyebrow and insert herself into the conversation with an assertive tone.

Anu: I agree, quite frankly. Jessica was somehow able to sniff out the fact she was initially being targeted at the last vote, which makes her more dangerous to me than Pat. Besides, Arthur, Neville, wasn't it the two of you that were pushing to see her leave first anyway?

Upon hearing this, Whitney looks over at her friend and mouths the words "Thank you" in her direction, which the waitress acknowledges with a nod.

Arthur: Change of heart, Anu, it happens. You 'n' Whitney seem to have had one yourselves considerin' you both used to be all for sendin' Pat's scrawny ass outta here.

Anu (Crosses arms): That's fine, I'll vote Pat if that's what everyone else wants. I just don't need the attitude from you.

Arthur (Baffled): What attitude, Anu?! I'm just tellin' it like it is!

Anu (Blunt): That attitude.

ANU
	"Honestly, I have no idea what I plan on doing for the vote. As of right now, I plan on staying loyal to Whitney and Evander, but I don't have a clue what that looks like. It's obvious to me that Arthur only wants Pat gone 'cause he's paranoid about Whitney being too close to him and possibly leaking our plans to Jessica before the last vote. I do get why he thinks Whitney may have done it, but there was no need for him to be rude to her in order to test her loyalty to us, or whatever he was trying to accomplish today. Whitney's my number one, so I'm gonna stand up for her, and to be honest, if Arthur's that paranoid 'bout Whitney, I'm not even sure if I want to work with him anymore."

Evander (Disappointed): C'mon guys, let's not fight.

Anu (Matter-of-Factly): I'm not fighting I said my piece, so now I'll shut up.

Arthur: I ain't fighting either, man.

Neville: Who do you reckon that this alliance should vote for, Evander?

Evander (Visibly thinking): Ummm… what is the group's biggest concern? Are we more concerned with trust and loyalty, or winning challenges?

Arthur: Man, I'd really not have to go to Tribal again if I don't have to.

Anu: Let's face it, there were 24 of us total to start this ting, and I just don't see us being in these tribes 'till the merge. I'd rather keep people around that are not gonna screw me over, and I don't think Pat's all that dangerous strategically.

Neville: Strategically speaking, I am inclined to believe that Pat is the best option to vote out, and not solely on the basis of challenge performance. I believe that should Jessica be in possession of a Hidden Immunity Idol, she will likely play it on herself. Considering that Jessica managed to obtain information indicating that she was a target for our alliance at our inaugural Tribal Council, I do not put it past her to play a Hidden Immunity Idol on herself this evening should she suspect she is in danger.

Whitney (Shakes head): I'd rather flush out the idol in that case. Jessica is mega sneaky, but if we can somehow convince her that she's not going home, but will need the idol later so she doesn't play one tonight and goes home with it in her pocket if she has one, that is the best compromise.

Evander: (Sighs): Well, if it's coming down to me again to break the tie, I guess I'd rather vote out Jessica since she seems to be the biggest threat to our tribal unity from what I see. I think Pat would work with us come a tribe switch, but I doubt that she would.

Whitney and Anu both nod as Arthur and Neville appear disappointed.

Whitney (Smiles): He definitely would!

Neville (Shrugs): Fair enough, I'll concede and assign my vote to Jessica tonight. I just hope Jessica fails to figure out what our plan is again and play a Hidden Immunity Idol on herself.

Arthur (Nods): Yeah, same here, man. I'll vote Jessica, don't get me wrong. My opinion of her hasn't changed. I was just worried 'bout the challenges, that's all. But if y'all don't think it's a big deal 'cause a swap's comin' soon, then I understand that.

ARTHUR
	"It's utterly bafflin' to me how Anu just isn't concerned 'bout Whitney 'n' her relationship with Pat whatsoever. Before the last Tribal, someone leaked our plans to the other side, which led to Jessica goin' ape-s*** and managin' to spare both her and Pat! Yeah, I'm still concerned 'bout the fact Jessica managed to pull that off, but I'm more concerned now 'bout the fact Whitney is refusing to vote Pat, despite him not bein' in our alliance. I'd like to at least get to a swap with people I can trust a lil' bit, and I don't trust Whitney at all now! Nope! Pinocchio is more reliable than she is, I think! At least you can see Pinocchio's nose grow when he lies!"

Once Arthur' confessional has finished, he can be seen quietly talking with Evander and Neville deep n the jungle.

Arthur: I don't like that at all, gents. Not one bit.

Evander: What's wrong?

Arthur: Whitney like, automatically steppin' up to take Pat off the block, despite her havin' no problem votin' him out just five days ago. I also hate the fact that Anu seems to have her head lodged a mile up Whitney's ass, but Whitney's just really sketchin' me out, man.

Evander: Well, maybe Whitney did simply have a change of heart.

Arthur (Shakes head): Uh-uh! Whitney's grown too damn close to Ol' Pattycake as of late for her to have simply changed her mind, man. 'Specially after our plans got leaked at our first vote, I don't at all feel comfortable takin' chances here.

Evander (Anxiously): So... what do you wanna do?

Arthur (Matter-of-Factly): Simple, we gotta split up Pat and Whitney. End of story, man.

Neville: But how do you suppose we do that? If Whitney and Anu are refusing to vote for Pat, then it does not appear likely that the numbers are there. I highly doubt that Jessica will cast a vote against Pat either.

Arthur (Crosses arms): So then we vote out Whitney. I'm sure we can convince Jessica to do that.

Neville's eyes go wide, nearly bulging out of his face, while Evander suddenly appears very nervous and uncomfortable.

Evander: But... why Whitney though?

Arthur (Frustrated): 'Cause I'm not putting up with this s*** any longer. Jessica's a lot of things, including a major threat, but she ain't a mind reader! Someone had to have told her she was the target at our first vote, and all the signs keep pointing to Whitney! I've had enough, and I just want to get rid of her now and be done with it!

Evander (Sighs heavily): Yeah... when you put it like that, I unfortunately do see where you're coming from.

Arthur (Pushy): So does this mean you're with us when it comes to voting Whitney out? Or not?

Evander lets out a long sigh as he processes Arthur's question, bringing on an awkward silence. After a few moments, Neville speaks up.

Neville: While I do certainly see merit in voting Whitney out this evening, do you reckon that we can obtain sufficient numbers to do so? With all due respect, Arthur, since Pat and Anu certainly will not cast votes against Whitney, the only individual we can possibly bring in to achieve a majority is Jessica.

Arthur: I think it's possible. We might be able to convince her that Whitney is playing both sides, is not to be trusted, and has Pat wrapped 'round her baby finger.

Neville: While that does sound like a good idea in theory, I have been rendered unable to put forth such an argument following the events of our previous Tribal Council.

Arthur: That's fine. You can leave that up to me... and Evander...

Arthur looks the locksmith dead in the eyes.

Arthur (Pointed): ...assmumin' you're with us on this.

Evander (Sighs; Nods): Yes... I'm with you, I promise. I'd just rather vote out Pat or Jessica to keep our five together, but I agree that Whitney's behaviour does make me worry about whether or not she can be trusted going forward. So I'll vote Whitney if voting Jessica or Pat is not possible.

EVANDER
	"I try so hard to just be a peaceful person and avoid conflict as much as possible, so to be caught in the middle between all of my allies is extremely frustrating and disheartening for me 'cause I wanna be loyal to all of 'em and for us to all get along and be the final five. (Sighs heavily) Unfortunately... I do understand Arthur's concerns and frustrations about Pat and Whitney, especially after our alliance's plans got leaked before the last vote. If the alliance must split up tonight, I feel like I have to cast my vote alongside whoever I think will be more loyal to me."

Following Evander's confessional, the footage returns to the previous scene, though Arthur has left the conversation. Neville and Evander continue to talk one-on-one, both with anxious expressions on their faces.

Neville: I must confess, Evander... I am very perturbed about the situation we find ourselves in with Tribal Council looming.

Evander (Sighs; Nods): Yeah... I really don't want to have to vote for any of our allies... (shakes head) but it seems like we are being left with no choice.

Neville: Do you suppose Jessica can be convinced to vote alongside us this evening?

Evander: I do admit, I have my doubts. Whitney may be close with Pat, but so is she.

Neville: I concur. Albeit, this conclusion does trouble me greatly, for I fear that this puts my status as a competitor in this game into jeopardy. Especially considering that I shall be receiving a penalty vote this evening, for that means only three votes are required to be cast against me to force a tie. (Evander nods slowly) Even if Jessica were to vote alongside us, if Pat, Whitney, and Anu each write my name on that piece of parchment, a re-vote will be forced in that instance.

Evander: Yeah, I see what you're saying. I don't think it would be fair to see you go tonight, because in the last few days, you've put a lot of effort into proving your loyalty, and I can see that you have my back out here.

Neville (Smiles): I appreciate you saying those words, Evander. I was concerned that my efforts were going unnoticed.

Evander: If I hear anything, I promise I'll do everything in my power to keep your name off the block. I'd rather not see Arthur go either... or Whitney for that matter... (shrugs) but better them than either of us.

Neville (Nods): I concur, and I trust that you will be keeping me up to date with any pertinent information, or if the individual we cast our respective votes against does change.

NEVILLE
	"Considering all of the drama and distrust that has plagued this tribe over the course of the first eight days of this competition, Evander's loyalty and sincerity is not something that has gone unnoticed or unappreciated by me. Voting out Whitney is the equivalent of a democracy, it's the worst option... except for all the others, as Winston Churchill would so eloquently say. Though I do trust Arthur and Evander to vote alongside me this evening, I am unsure about Anu or Whitney. In addition, considering that I was one of the targets of Jessica's tirade at our inaugural Tribal Council and that I received a penalty vote that shall be levied against me this evening, I just have to hope that none of my tribe mates cast elimination votes against me, for that shall likely signal the unfortunate end of my game."

A transitional shot of an emerald tree boa slithering up a tree now appears on the screen before we are taken to a conversation between Anu and Whitney that is taking place in a secluded area of the camp.

Anu: Was I the only one really bothered by that whole conversation with those boys?

Whitney (Shakes head): No, I was too. What's with Arthur's sudden desire to get rid of Pat? I really thought he'd be perfectly fine with getting rid of Jessica.

Anu: Look, I'm just gonna be real with you. Arthur's scared that you and Pat are much too close.

Whitney (Confused): What are you talking about? He actually thinks I'll turn on the alliance for Pat?

Anu (Nods): Yes! I'm telling you, he's a freaking madman! He's seen the two of you talking a few times, and he's gone off the deep end. I tried telling him already that he's crazy for thinking that, 'cause you are really loyal. But I guess he's just not having it.

Whitney (Very anxious): I swear, Pat and I are friends, nothing more than that. There is nothing strategic about our friendship.

Anu: I know, I know. As I said, I tried telling him that, but he doesn't seem to believe me.

Whitney: Why do you think that is?! What has he been saying, exactly?

Anu (Sighs heavily): I wanted to try and avoid telling you this, but... (sighs)

Whitney: But what?

Anu: Arthur thinks you're the one that told Jessica before the last vote she was the target.

Whitney's jaw drops open and she quickly covers her mouth, rendered speechless by Anu's words.

Whitney: You... you can't be serious... right? I did no such thing!

Anu: I know you didn't, that's what I tried telling him. I tried to tell him that Jessica must've just sneaked up on someone's conversation or something and figured all that out herself, but I guess he's not buying it.

Whitney starts shaking her head for a few moments, with one hand still over her face.

Whitney: This can't be happening.. (Brief pause) This can't be happening.

WHITNEY
	"I cannot possibly even begin to understand how Arthur has taken a simple friendship between myself and Pat and created this conspiracy theory that I set out to sabotage this alliance or something by telling Jessica she was a target before the last vote! (Sighs heavily) It just hurts 'cause I've shown this alliance nothing but loyalty and I've just done my very best to work hard around camp and cause as little drama as possible. I am very thankful that Anu told me what Arthur has been saying about me. It really does seem like she's got my back no matter what in this game because you definitely need someone out here that you can trust. (Shrugs) All of a sudden, I have no idea what's going to happen at tonight's vote, and I just have to pray that be being caught making friends with the wrong person doesn't completely tank my game."

Whitney: So what do we do now? I'd still like to vote Jessica if it was her sneakiness that got us into this mess. But... (shakes head) I don't know if that's even possible anymore.

Anu: It might not be. Personally, I think Neville should be the one leaving tonight.

Whitney (Confused): But why him? Isn't it Arthur that's pushing the fact that I'm apparently such a snake?

Anu: It is, but I feel like Arthur would at least be loyal to this tribe at the end of the day. Neville was caught playing both sides before, and even though he seems to be making an effort to right those wrongs he was called on, I really don't think he's sorry, and I think he'll easily do it again if given the opportunity. He just knows he can't right now without ruining himself.

Whitney: Yeah, that makes sense. (Sighs) I guess if I had to vote someone out within our alliance, it would be Neville. Do you think we can get the numbers for that? If Arthur and Evander vote with us, that'll be a majority... but I don't know if they'd do it.

Anu (Shakes head): Just like you and Pat have gotten close recently, so have Arthur and Neville, but I do think their friendship is more strategic. I really think Arthur has bought Neville's B.S. apologies and is working closer with him, and it wouldn't surprise me if Neville's the one making him paranoid.

Whitney: Do you think Evander would stick with us at least?

Anu (Nods): Yeah, I think he would. Evander is very kind-hearted and loyal, and if he sees that all we're trying to do is preserve ourselves and that those two have gone off the deep end, he should be on board.

Whitney: But just Evander wouldn't be enough. We'd need one more.

Anu (Shrugs): Well, if your friendship with Pat wasn't strategic whatsoever before, it might have to become that way now. The good news is, Jessica called Neville right out at the last vote, so I don't have a problem believing that they'd vote his ass right outta here.

Whitney (Sighs): Yeah... that is a good point. (Shrugs) I guess if you don't think we have any other option... then I'm in.

Anu (Smirks): Good. I'm confident that we'll be able to pull this off.

ANU
	"I didn't want to tell Whitney about Arthur's stupid conspiracy theory, but I felt like I had to, and really, she deserves to know. I ain't gonna just let Arthur and Neville walk all over me, and if they're trying to put a target on the back of my number one ally, they got another thing coming! As much as Arthur's been irritating me lately, I think Neville's far more dangerous as a player. I don't care that I'm forcing the break-up of our alliance here. Neville's already been caught playing both sides, and I seriously think he'll do it again if given the chance. As far as I'm concerned, there's no way around it, Neville has got to go, and the sooner it happens, the better."

Upon the completion of Anu's confessional, we see a short scene of a school of fish in the ocean before the footage switches to show Anu and Evander talking quitely in a private area of the camp.

Anu: Has Arthur told you the real reason he wants Pat out of the game? I'll give you a hint, it has nothing to do with challenges like he said earlier.

Evander (Sighs; Nods): Yeah... he's concerned 'bout Pat and Whitney being too close.

Anu: So he did tell you... (nods) good. (Shrugs) But is that not just the dumbest idea in the world? Whitney and Pat are friends, and if she were to flip, she'd just be putting herself where there are less numbers and she has no power.

Evander: Well, in Arthur's defence, there was a lotta craziness after the last vote, and someone did likely tell Jessica our plans. (Anu crosses her arms) So I think he's got a right to be a little paranoid right now.

Anu (Not having it): Except he's not just being a little paranoid, he's gone right off the rails! Whitney is far more loyal to us than Pat. But even if she had a deal with Pat, why would she give Jessica ammo to save herself?

Evander (Shrugs): I dunno, I guess it could always be possible that she told Pat, then Pat told Jessica. (Anu's mouth falls open) Maybe she just wanted Pat to vote in the majority.

Anu (Stunned): Wait... you actually think Whitney, of all people, might've done that?

Evander (Shakes head; Frustrated): I don't know, Anu! Something happened before the last for Jessica to be tipped off that she was going, and we're all now struggling to put the pieces together. I'm sure you can cut us some slack here, right?

Anu (Persistent): I get being paranoid, I do. But I'm telling you, I know Whitney, and she wouldn't have done that. (Sighs) B'sides, with how Arthur acted during our big group talk, I'm worried he's gonna try and do something drastic tonight. I don't trust him anymore.. or Neville for that matter.

Evander (Very nervous): You're talking like you wanna make a move against them tonight, or are at least considering it.

Anu: Well, I'm sorry to say, it's hard not to. (Shrugs) I guess if Arthur really is just that paranoid, I can somewhat forgive that. But I do think letting Neville right back into our alliance was a bad idea.

Evander: What do you mean by that?

Anu: I'm saying that I don't think he's actually sorry for playing both sides the way he did, and I don't trust him to be loyal to us either. I think he's sucking up 'cause he's sorry he got caught, and would definitely go back to playing the same way he did the first three days if he got the chance.

Evander: Neville seems sincere to me.

Anu (Taken aback): What?

Evander: I get the feeling he was caught in an awkward situation and did what he did 'cause he felt like he didn't have a choice.

Anu (Shakes head): I'm sorry, I don't buy that. (Sighs) I know this is gonna sound crazy, and I know you don't wanna hear it. But as my ally, you should be in the loop on this.

Evander: Uhhh... okay, thanks... I guess. (Sighs) What is it?

Anu (Sternly): I think we should vote Neville out... tonight.

Evander (Shaking his head): No, no, I refuse to be part of that.

Anu (Confused): Why not?! I don't buy his stories at all. I think he's an ultra dangerous player, and I think if we put our trust in him, we'll regret it.

Evander (Defensive): Maybe he just lied to Jessica to get her off his back and always intended to align with us, like he's said. If I Lacey and Jessica were close, and Lacey and Neville were close, don't you see how that might've been awkward for him if he always wanted to be loyal to us from the beginning?

Anu (Not having it): Then why couldn't he just be honest about his relationship with Lacey? Why is he only sorry after being called out? Also, do you honestly believe Arthur's conspiracy theory over what I'm telling you now?

Evander (Upset): I don't know what happened, Anu! I just want our alliance to stick together, vote out Jessica, and get back on the same page again!

Anu (Sternly): What is happening is that Arthur is acting like a paranoid, conspiracy theorist madman, and Neville is a massive snake in the grass, and it is clear that we can't trust either of them!

Evander (Lets out frustrated sigh): As much as I want us all to be the final five... (shakes head) but I can see that you're gonna do what you're gonna do. I feel like we can trust Neville at least, and my hunch is that Arthur is just very paranoid. I will not be part of any plan to vote Neville out, and if you trust me, you won't either.

EVANDER
	"Ugh! I can't believe what I'm hearing! First, Arthur wants to vote out Whitney tonight, and now Anu wants to vote Neville? Tonight yet?! (Sighs heavily) This is about the worst case scenario ever. I wanna be loyal to both of them, but they might all be turning on each other! I really, really hope Anu listens to what I said about Neville and Arthur, especially Neville, 'cause I really do feel like Neville will be loyal to me, and I hope she sees it. Also, if Anu does come around, at least there will be the slightest chance our alliance will stay together, which is ultimately what I'm hoping for, as unlikely it seems right now." (Sighs heavily)

After Evander's confessional, the scene then shows a visibly frustrated Anu in the main camp area, pulling aside Whitney so they can chat privately. Once they are alone, the waitress updates her friend on their situation.

Anu (Blunt): Evander's out. We'll have to do this alone and get both Pat and Jessica with us.

Whitney (Surprised; Confused): Wait... what?! Evander's not with us?!

Anu (Nods): Ugh! Unfurtuntely, that's true. He seems to have bought Neville's lies 'cause he's insisting Neville will be loyal, and Evander's excusing Arthur's paranoia 'cause we were all confused after the last vote.

Whitney (Frustrated): Darn it! (Shakes head) This is so crazy and stupid. (Sighs) What do you want to do now? Go back to voting Jessica with them?

Anu (Shaking her head): No. I'm not sticking with them 'cause Evander is gullible and has no spine. Unless Pat and Jessica won't vote with us, and there's no reason for them not to, I think we should stick with breaking up Neville, Arthur, and Evander. I'd prefer Neville to go, but I suddenly don't care which one leaves between the three of 'em. That's how just angry and frustrated I am right now.

Whitney (Nods): I get it, I do. Since Arthur's throwing my name out there to begin with, I'm fine turning on them if you are. At this point, we just have to be each other's number ones and do what's best for us out here.

Anu (Nodding): My thoughts exactly.

ANU
	"All of Evander's talk about loyalty just ticked me right off! He's either one of the most gullible people in the world, or he just does not have a spine, 'cause he's scared to turn on his original allies, no matter how bad he's being screwed over by them! I'd almost feel bad for Evander, but there's no point. A million dollars is on the line, so if he's that adamant about staying loyal, and that adamant to refuse to listen to facts and to actually play this game, I'm perfectly fine to just do both of those things for him and make sure this vote goes my way."

Following Anu's spiteful confessional, a brief shot of a parrot in a tree appears on the screen before showing a conversation taking place between Pat and Whitney as they walk through the jungle.

Whitney (Anxious): I hope you don't get the wrong impression... but would you mind talking strategy for a bit? (Pat's eyes widen) I know we haven't talked much strategy at all, if any, but... (sighs) there's been a... development.

Pat (Enthusiastic): Of course, Whitney! Ya' know, I was actually scared I'm on the bottom of this tribe. So anythin' you got for me, I'm all ears. I'd love nothin' more than to work with you in this game goin' forward, for real.

Whitney (Smiling): Thank you, Pat! I'm flattered, I must say.

Pat: You're very welcome.

Whitney: Anyway... the thing is, according to Anu, and I don't see why she'd lie to me, there are people on this tribe that see us as being too close to each other.

Pat (Stunned): Us?! Like... you 'n' me?!

Whitney (Giggles awkwardly): Yeah, apparently so.

Pat: Who's sayin' this stuff, if you don't mind me askin'?

Whitney: Arthur, mostly. (Sighs) I hate to confirm this, but I'm sure you suspected that there's an alliance right now that excludes you and Jessica. (Pat nods) Arthur was pushing, and pushing for you to be the target tonight. The excuse he gave was challenges, but then Anu told me about what he's been saying, so I'm thinking that's the real reason.

Pat: So... if I'm understandin' this right, it seems like you're comin' to me now 'cause you don't like that plan and don't wanna vote me out?

Whitney (Nods): Yeah, and also 'cause Anu and I are considering making a move against those boys. But if we do, we'd need you and Jessica both to get the majority.

Pat (Smiles): Well, thanks Whitney. I'm glad to hear it! Out of curiosity, was it Arthur you were wantin' to take out?

Whitney: Anu wants Neville out 'cause she says he's more dangerous between them after that stunt where he played both sides before our last vote, and she's concerned he'll do it again if we let our guards down. Thing is, Anu and I are about the only two that don't fully trust him from the looks of things. Neville gets along with Arthur and Evander both, and Anu seems especially frustrated with Evander 'cause he's refusing to make a move against either him or Neville at all.

Pat: Well, I'm good with anything, and I think there's good reasons to oust all three of 'em from what you're tellin' me. Arthur goin' on 'bout our relationship is really spooky to me, Evander's definitely the glue holdin' those two together as well, from what I see, then there's Neville bein' a lyin', manipulatin', two-timin', bona fide villain. I think Anu's definitely right to suspect he'll go right back to doin' what he did before with playin' both sides once people let their guards down.

Whitney: Oh, 100%. You think Jessica would be up for joining us in this? As I said, Anu and I are leaning towards voting Neville right now, and he was one of her big targets when she went ballistic at our first Tribal.

Pat: I'll definitely have a lil' chat with her 'bout this. I ain't gonna promise anythin' on her behalf, but I think the chances of her agreein' to do this are pretty darn good.

Whitney (Smiles): Thank you so much, I really appreciate that! Hopefully this all goes through as planned.

WHITNEY
	"My first real strategic conversation with Pat honestly went better than I ever thought it would. He seems like such a genuine, honest man, and my only real regret is not reaching out to him about an actual alliance sooner. Although I'm definitely nervous about how Arthur telling everyone that Pat and I are close could affect my game, in a weird way, I also have to thank him for bringing Pat and I together strategically. Even though nothing's totally confirmed, I'm at least feeling good about the chances that Tribal tonight will go the way I'm wanting it to." (Smiles)

From Whitney's confessional, the scene switches back to the conversation between her and Pat, which we can see is now onto a much more light-hearted topic. The two friends soon share a laugh as the camera zooms in on the train driver and changes to his confessional.

PAT
	"Hearin' that Arthur's apparently goin' 'round tellin' people 'bout how tight Whitney 'n' I are is quite alarmin' to me, 'specially since I already thought everyone viewed Jessica 'n' I as bein' super tight as it was! At the same time, I'm for sure happy that Whitney seems to want to actually work with me out here. Bein' on the bottom, bein' weaker in challenges, and now apparently bein' seen as havin' all these close friends, I feel like I need to take whatever I can get at this point. 'Cause if I don't, I'm definitely scared that my torch will go out this evenin'. As long as Whitney is tellin' the truth 'bout her 'n' Anu wantin' to make a big move against Neville for his two-timin' ways, it seems like things finally might just be lookin' up for Jessica 'n' I on this tribe!"

From Pat's confessional, the scene fades into a transitional shot of a giant river otter wandering into a body of water. Once the otter begins swimming, we are taken to a conversation taking place near the well between Arthur and Jessica M.

Arthur: Here's the thing, Jess, I know you and I haven't really been working together out here, but there is something you should know.

A devilish smirk comes across Jessica's face as she places her hands on her hips.

Jessica M.: Oh really? What's that?

Arthur: It ain't much of a secret that you 'n' Pat are very close friends out here, but have you noticed how close he's gotten with Whitney?

Jessica M. (Shrugs): Yeah, they seem like they're pretty good friends.

Arthur: More than that by now, I'm sure of it. They're always together in their down time it seems like. I'm positive that there's an alliance between 'em 'n' that we're under their spells like they're Ron Weasley and Hermione Granger and we're your everyday muggle.

Jessica M. (Impatient): What are you getting at? I'm a 45-year-old woman, not a 15-year-old nerd. Harry Potter references won't work on me.

Arthur: I'm saying that Whitney and Pat are a tight duo that must have a secret alliance together based on how they're actin' 'round here. I also know that you and Pat are close, and that Whitney and Anu are close as well. You know what's even scarier than that?

Jessica M. (Deadpan): What?

Arthur: Whitney is pushin' hard for you to go next, and her bestie, Anu, is right with her on that.

Jessica M. (Caught off guard): Oh... really?

Arthur (Smirks; Nods): Yes, really. This comin' after pushin' for Pat to go at the last vote, but now she doesn't want him goin' anywhere at all. I bet Whitney's playin' this entire tribe, worse than Neville did at the last vote. I dunno who she's more loyal to, but I don't think I wanna wait and find out. B'sides, if she's playin' like that this early in the game, imagine how she'll play come the merge.

Jessica M. (Blunt): So basically, you're asking for my help to send Whitney home tonight?

Arthur: Yeah, (counts on fingers) You, me, Neville, Evander - that's a majority vote right there. A snake would be gone, Patty can go right back to bein' your best friend and number one ally, and Anu would be left all alone on this tribe. We could blow this game open tonight like we're Michael Bay, except this would be actually worth watchin', unlike his films.

Jessica M.: You got a point there, boy. I'll give you that.

JESSICA M.
	"I'm not exactly thrilled 'bout possibly workin' with Adam Sandler and his B-list cronies—Chris Rock and Ken Jeong—for tonight's vote, in order to take Whitney out of the game. However, Adam Sandler does make a good point. Pat and Whitney have gotten very, very close as of late, and there is a small part of me that does wonder if Pat is closer to her than he is to me. It's also clear that Whitney is working closely with Anu, who has given me no indication that she wants to work with me since she told me about Neville's double dealings right before the last vote, so there's a lot of uncertainty when it comes to both Whitney and Anu that I'd rather not deal with either. I'll admit, voting out Whitney is intriguing since Pat suddenly would have nobody but me to rely on out here. So this move is something for me to consider making, for sure 'cause it could benefit me greatly strategically... even if I don't particularly like Adam Sandler."

Arthur: Look, I dunno if you'd be interested in doin' something long term or not, but I definitely think votin' Whitney out benefits us both.

Jessica M. (Shrugs): Yeah, it does seem like that at first glance. I don't want to promise anything long term, but I'll say that you have my attention, and that I'm for sure considering this.

Arthur (Smiles widely): Happy to hear that!

ARTHUR
	"Jessica's a smart-ass player, man! It's like I'm talkin' to the female Sherlock Holmes. I'm just waitin' for her to say (tries to imitate Jessica M.'s voice) 'It's elementary, my dear Arthur!' (Laughs) She's gonna be a massive threat man, for sure. Unfortunately, it seems like I need her to get rid of Whitney, so if she's interested, I'm okay makin' an alliance with her 'n' shuttin' up 'bout votin' her out for now if it means that Whitney leaves at this vote. I truly think Whitney goin' tonight is best for both of our long terms games, and I think it definitely got her thinkin' 'bout it at least. (Shrugs) Here's hopin' she makes the right choice and chooses to side with me!" (Chuckles)

The music begins to pick up in intensity as a short scene of a Guyana Lava Lizard in the jungle appears on the screen. The light rain continues to fall as Anu and Jessica M. meet up in a secluded area of the camp, both women with very serious expressions on their faces.

Jessica M.: 'Bout time we meet up. I was beginning to think you weren't interested in working with me anymore.

Anu (Shakes head): That's not the case at all. In fact, Whitney and I are now interested in jumping ship to you and Pat long term and forming an official alliance.

Jessica M. (Raises eyebrow): Oh really?

Anu (Nods): Yeah. I can't stand those other boys 'cause they're all buying into Neville's B.S., especially Evander.

Jessica M. (Confused): Come again? Did I not make myself clear enough at our last Tribal what kind of s*** Neville pulled?

Anu (Nods): Yes, you did. But, they're still, for some reason, letting Neville get in their heads, not getting that he'll probably betray them again soon as soon as they start really trusting him. I'm not working with that kind of dumb-ness anymore, and neither is Whitney. We both want Neville gone tonight.

Jessica M. (Shrugs): That's good to know. I'm sure you can tell that Pat and I are willing to consider all options.

Anu: To be honest, I'm fed up with all three of them. I think I might've said this to you before, but I dunno if Arthur and Neville especially are scared of strong women, or if they just have fragile egos and need to be in control, or what their thing is. But I just can't convince myself to work with that anymore out here.

Jessica M. (Nodding): For sure. I bet I'd feel the same way if I was in your shoes.

JESSICA M.
	(Sassy/animated tone) "Oh, hi there, Anu! So nice to talk to you again only when you need something from me literally right before Tribal! (Rolls eyes; snarls) Seriously, can that girl get any more transparent about the fact she only wants me as an extra vote? I mean, I do get why she would come to me again now based on what she told me. Heck, I'd rather not work with Adam Sandler, Ken Jeong, and Chris Rock if I didn't have to. However, Anu is making it clear as day to me that she's only actually interested in looking after herself and Whitney. If she wants to play like that, that's fine. I'll listen to her and consider what she says to me. But there's no chance in Hell that I'll put any faith in Anu as an actual ally in this game. I'm also not about to just do whatever she says because she likes to use scary words and phrases to make it seem like I'm in such terrible danger and need her as some sort of saviour or something out here. Like, I'm a grown-ass woman, Anu! I can look after myself. Thank you for your concern though." (Rolls eyes)

Anu: I'm pretty sure I've said this before, but those boys are scared of you and the threat you are to their games. I get the feeling they are easily intimidated by strong women, so I'd rather us strong women just stick together so we each have a better chance of getting to the end.

Jessica M.: For sure.

Anu: So, would you be up to voting Neville out tonight? Do you think you could get Pat on board?

Jessica M.: I'm sure I could. Like me, Pat doesn't have many options in this game. The only thing with Neville though is that yeah, he's a snake and you can't trust his word whatsoever, but I think his game is damaged beyond repair.

Anu (Confused): What do you mean?

Jessica M.: Based on all the s*** he puled in the first three days, especially what he did to Lacey, we just have to spread that information to other people in the event of a swap. As soon as they hear all that... (snaps fingers) he's an instant target, and nobody will want to work with him. So really, we can afford to get rid of Arthur or Evander tonight, and effectively leave Neville as a shield for us for the next little while, until everyone else grows sick of his B.S. and votes him out.

Anu (Shakes head): I don't know if that would work. It's a good thought, and you'd think it would... but he still somehow got Arthur and Evander believing his lies right after it happened, even after you called him out!

Jessica M. (Scoffs): Well, they're just fools. I don't think everyone else in that game is quite that stupid.

Anu: Fair enough. I'd still rather see Neville leave tonight 'cause I don't wanna give him any leeway in this game at all. But still, I'm open to making a big move tonight regardless, 'cause as I said, I'm fed up with all three of them.

Jessica M. (Nods): For sure. I'll talk to Pat and see what he says. I'm up for pretty much anything at this point, including voting out Neville. But I don't wanna commit to writing down a particular name until I've talked to him.

Anu: Good to know. Jessica, I promise that tonight, Whitney and I will be right there with you on whatever move you choose to make.

ANU
	"I'm at the point in the game where I'm ready to make long term alliance with Jessica official at Tribal Council. It's obvious I just don't gel with Arthur, Neville, or Evander at all, and I do think it's important this season that strong women like myself, Jessica, and Whitney stick together to improve the chances of all of us getting to the end, especially being on a tribe with people like Neville and Arthur that seem to get intimidated easily by us. I just hope Jessica can see just how serious I am about this, 'cause I really do think it's time to change the course of the game on this tribe."

As the sun begins to set and the time for Tribal Council draws nearer, we can see that despite the light rain, Jessica and Pat have met up in an open area along the beach, far away from the main camp, in order to discuss the vote.

Pat: So Whitney came to me today. She was sayin' that her and Anu are willing to jump ship to us in order to get rid of Neville tonight.

Jessica M (Grins): Good. Anu just came to me and said the same thing.

Pat (Excited): Really? That's great!

Jessica M.: There's something else too. Arthur came to me saying that him, Evander, and Neville are all voting Whitney!

Pat's face drops and he puts a hand over his mouth. Soon, a look of concern comes across the train driver's face as he shakes his head, which brings a frown to Jessica's face.

Jessica M.: You don't seem excited about that. I mean, seriously, if people are telling us the truth, it looks like we've gone from the bottom to the swing votes!

Pat: Yeah, uhhh... that's great, it really is. I'd just feel much more comfortable siding with Whitney and Anu.

Jessica M.: Why's that?

Pat: 'Cause Whitney's sayin' that Arthur's runnin' around puttin' a target on my back, talkin' all about how close of friends Whitney and I have become, 'n' also just how tight of allies you 'n' I are in this game. If we vote with 'em tonight, I think it'll only be a matter of time before they turn on us again. Even if Whitney goes tonight 'n' Anu goes next, they still have the majority over us.

Jessica M. (Nods slowly): That may be true, but I got some disturbing news from Arthur.

Pat: What's that?

Jessica M.: According to him, Whitney and Anu were both pushing for me to go home. (Sighs) I already had to pull a rabbit out of a hat once at Tribal. I don't like my name being thrown out there, 'cause I don't know if I can pull that trick off again.

Pat (Anxious): Do you think he's tellin' the truth?

Jessica M.: That's the thing... he might be. Anu didn't come to me about tonight's vote until literally just a few minutes ago. (Shakes head) I don't trust Anu at all, so I really don't know how much we can trust her closest ally either.

Pat: When Whitney talked to me, she sounded very sincere. I trust that the move is being made tonight.

Jessica M.: Oh, for sure. I don't doubt that we're swing votes tonight. But I do think it comes down to who we can trust longer term and who would be the more stable ally.

Pat: Well, we already know Neville's told a bunch of lies in this game, and I'm really uncomfortable votin' with someone that's throwin' my name out there 'n' talkin' 'bout how close I am to people to paint me as some social threat or somethin'. I can't speak 'bout Anu, but Whitney does seem like much more of a stable, reliable ally for us in this game.

Jessica M. (Nods): Yeah, I hear what you're saying. But I almost feel the same way about Whitney and Anu. Even if they are willing to make the big move now, if what Arthur's saying is true, just today they were actually considering getting rid of me. So who knows how long we can trust them for if we vote with them tonight?

Pat (Shrugs): I can't speak 'bout Anu, I just know I got real good vibes from Whitney today, and I think alignin' with her and Anu would be the smarter move for us.

Jessica M. (Nodding slowly): Yeah, I see why you feel that way, for sure.

JESSICA M.
	"After speaking with Pat, it's obvious that he's not just on board the 'I Love Whitney' train, but that he's freaking driving that train like it's his day job! I honestly can't tell anymore if Pat is closer to Whitney or to me, and that does worry me a little bit. At the same time, I get why Pat wouldn't want to work with the boys if someone over there is throwing his name out since, well, I think it was kind of frightening to hear that Anu and Whitney were apparently doing the same thing to me just today. At the end of the day, as much as I love Pat, I need to look out for myself out here and do what's best for my game above all else. I don't want to just blindly follow his lead, but I also need to weigh the risks and ask myself if rocking the boat again so early on is even worth it. I'm facing a very tough decision tonight because while I spun the roulette wheel with the chaos I caused at the first vote, it seems to be up to me to determine where that roulette wheel stops and the ball lands. I just hope that proverbial ball lands in a spot that allows me to get to the end of this game."

From Jessica's confessional, we see the Wai Wai tribe packing their bags for Tribal Council. First, a close-up of Jessica appears on the screen as she places her bag around her shoulder.We then see close-ups of Neville, Evander, Arthur, and finally Whitney as they finish packing and proceed to pick up their torches, which were leaning against one side of the shelter. The Wai Wai tribe then begins to walk towards Tribal Council in a single-file line with Anu leading the way.

Tribal Council - Orealla[]

An aerial shot of the Tribal Council area now appears on the screen and intense, brooding, tribal music begins to play. The eight returning players are then shown making their way into Tribal Council through the darkness in a single file line, entering in the following order: Ella, K.C., Kelly-Ann, Frank, Billy, Geoff, Irene, Sheila.

As the castaways enter and begin to position themselves in front of the stools, the camera pans around to show Jeff Probst standing there waiting for them. Once the whole tribe has entered, Probst begins his traditional First Tribal Council speech.

Jeff Probst: Behind each of you is a torch, go ahead and grab one, approach the flame, dip it in, and get fire.

The returning players do as they are instructed while Jeff continues.

Jeff Probst: This is part of the ritual of Tribal Council. As you all know, in this game, fire represents your life. As long as you have fire, you're still in the game. When your fire is gone, so are you.

The members of the Orealla tribe are then shown placing their torches in the slots behind their stools and sitting down. While they do this, Probst takes a seat himself as the camera hones in on Billy, who is in the process of taking a deep breath and letting out a long exhale.

Jeff Probst: Well, good to see you, Orealla. Welcome to Tribal Council. Obviously, with this game going on for eight days now, there's a lot we could talk about, so I'll start at the beginning. Sheila, what was the atmosphere like arriving at camp, all eight of you having played before, even though clearly some lasting loner than others in their first seasons?

Sheila: I don't think it would've been much different than any other tribe of returning players. Ya' know, we've still all played before, we know the routine when it comes to setting up camp. At least for me, it was like riding a bike, in that you never really forget how to do it.

Jeff Probst: How about for you, Ella? How would you say everyone's adjusting to being back in the game?

Ella: I think for the most part, everyone's adjusted pretty well, all thing's considered. Even though there's two of us from each season, only Kelly-Ann and I have actually played together before. But even still, I think that common experience of all of us having played before still allowed us to click like the other two tribes couldn't, which explains our success in challenges over the tribes of new players, for the most part.

Jeff Probst: Interesting that you bring that up, Ella. How do you feel like the fact you and Kelly-Ann were the only two out here to actually play the game together has impacted this tribe's dynamics?

Ella (Awkwardly): Well... (looks right at Kelly-Ann) maybe that's a better question for her. (Giggles) I know I did ultimately burn her in Montserrat, but I don't think my relationship with Kelly-Ann right now is much different than the one I have with everyone else.

Jeff Probst: So, Kelly-Ann, I'll turn it over to you. (Kelly-Ann nods) How do you think the fact you and Ella played together before has affected the dynamic on this tribe?

Kelly-Ann: As Ella said, we haven't really interacted with each other much differently than we've interacted with anyone else. I mean, we're grown-ups for crying out loud. I'm not about to treat her badly over a game move that happened three years ago. Now, that doesn't mean I'll trust her again out here very easily. But, I'm still willing to show her the same basic, human respect I would show anyone else.

Jeff Probst: So Billy, Kelly-Ann brought up trust. How do you figure out who to trust on a tribe like this, where you've all played before, but nobody has really played together to the point where you can point them out and say: "these people have a strong connection"?

Billy (Takes a deep breath): I think, dude... it probably ain't much different than how we figure out who to trust in our fist season, where you just gotta feel everyone out and go with your gut. Sure dude, we may have seen each other play before on T.V. We may think we know the games of these other people, dude. But at the same time, we gotta remember that some people are playin' differently this time around 'cause it didn't work for 'em the last time.

Geoff begins nodding in agreement with Billy's statement while Frank rolls his eyes and shakes his head.

Jeff Probst: Frank, Billy's comment seemed to get quite a big reaction out of you for what seemed to me like such a general observation.

As Jeff talks, Billy nervously looks towards Frank.

Jeff Probst (Continuing): Do you not agree with his point of view?

Frank (Shakes head): No! I think that there are certain people out here that have developed particular reputations, and we gotta watch for them. Those people have proven to not be the most loyal or truthful, or they might love to stir the pot a little too much. Some people are naturally going to resort to a typical style of play, so startin' everyone on a clean slate is just utterly moronic in my view.

Billy lets out a sigh and hangs his head slightly as Frank shrugs his shoulders.

Geoff (Butting in): I don't think Billy is exactly wrong though. Sure, certain people's reputations may make someone a little more hesitant to align with them. But at the same time, four of us here got voted out in the pre-merge. Clearly, whatever strategy we used in our seasons didn't work, so it's only natural for us to want to change things up strategically this season. (Shrugs) Besides, in order to have a majority alliance on this tribe, you have to include at least one pre-merger, and at least one post-merger in your group. So as Billy said, you have to go with your gut a little bit.

An annoyed expression comes across Frank's face, though the real estate agent says nothing in response to Geoff as Probst moves on with his line of questioning.

Jeff Probst: So Irene, after being very successful in challenges thus far, you guys lose your first immunity challenge today. What did that do to the overall atmosphere around camp when you got back from the challenge, knowing that one of the eight of you is going home tonight?

Irene: Let me tell you, Jeffrey, it was just... balls to the wall strategizing today. It might've been raining, but everyone seemed to be off talking to somebody all the damn time. I'll admit, I was part of that. I'd rather my hair get a little wet for a while than just let myself go home tonight.

Jeff Probst (Feigns shock): Really?! You sacrificed the look of your beautiful hair to actually play the game today?

Irene (Sassy): I know! Like, can you imagine just how difficult that was for me?!

Frank (Butting in): 'Bout as difficult as teaching a fish to drive a car.

Everyone at attendance at Tribal, except for Frank himself, share a short laugh at the real estate agent's snide remark.

Irene (Smirking): Now, now... be nice.

Jeff Probst: K.C., do you agree with Irene? Has it been (finger quotes) "balls to the wall" strategizing from everyone?

K.C.: Not in a literal sense, of course. But yeah, everyone seems to be out playing the game today and doing what they gotta do to try and keep their name off the parchment. From what I can tell, it does seem like a lot of different plans are being thrown around, and I just have to hope I'm on the right side of the numbers when it's all said and done.

Jeff Probst: Let's talk about idols. Sheila, while the balls are going to the wall as you all strategize, how are idols being factored into these conversations?

Sheila (Giggles): I think the possibility of idols is definitely in the backs of everyone's minds, but at the same time, nobody seems to really talk about them all that much. (Shrugs) Now that I think about it, unless I've gone blind in my old age, I don't think I've seen many people even looking.

About half the tribe proceed to nod in agreement with Sheila.

Jeff Probst: Why do you think that is, Sheila?

Sheila: I think it's mostly just that people are too scared to be caught looking. I think I speak for everyone when I say that we'd love to have an idol. But sometimes it's just not worth the risk to look because if everyone knows you're looking, that could just put a target on your back, which is only made worse if you come up short in your searches.

Jeff Probst: Geoff, what's your take on that?

Geoff: I agree with Sheila completely. I do think that the idol hunting will start happening more openly at some point, maybe even after tonight's vote where we have a chance to see where other people stand, and people start to be more willing to take risks. But right now, it seems to be about self-preservation and keeping the target off of your back as much as possible.

Jeff Probst: Well, despite everyone's best efforts to keep that target off of their back, those efforts were evidently not enough for one of the eight of you. Now is the time to find out who that person is. It is time to vote. Sheila, you're up.

Sheila smiles as she stands up and makes her way towards the voting booth. As she removes the cap off the pen and moves the skull-shaped paperweight, the camera fades out, not revealing who she votes for. The next person to cast a vote is Billy, who is in the process of running all of his fingers through his hair as he approaches the voting booth, with the camera fading out as he picks up the pen and takes a deep breath. The next castaways to vote are Ella, then Irene, with neither of their votes being revealed. After Irene places her vote in the urn, K.C. is then shown removing the cap off the pen and writing Irene's name down on the parchment, with the camera then fading into his voting confessional.

K.C.
	"Hopefully your time here gets you even more subscribers for your YouTube channel than you apparently already have. You get to be internet famous, and I get to be a millionaire. (Shrugs) I consider that a win-win."

Once K.C.'s voting confessional fades out, he is shown folding up his vote and placing it into the urn. Geoff is then shown approaching the voting booth, with the camera then fading into a shot of Frank placing his folded-up vote into the urn. Kelly-Ann is the final castaway to cast a vote this evening. The entomologist is shown approaching the voting booth and moving the paperweight out of the way. As she proceeds to put pen to parchment, the camera fades into the shot of her placing the lid back onto the urn and starting to walk back to her seat. Once Kelly-Ann sits back down, the camera then turns over to Probst.

Jeff Probst: I'll go tally the votes.

Jeff leaves to fetch the urn. Once he returns, he addresses the castaways.

Jeff Probst: If anybody has a Hidden Immunity Idol and would like to play it, now would be the time to do so.

As the returning players exchange glances with each other, close-ups of Irene, Ella, Geoff, and Billy in that order appear on the screen. Seeing that nobody is playing an idol, Jeff continues.

Jeff Probst: Okay. Once the votes are read, the decision is final. Person voted out will be asked to leave the Tribal Council area immediately. I'll read the votes.

Jeff opens up the urn and takes out the first vote.

Jeff Probst: First vote... Irene

Irene appears quite caught off guard by the vote, jerking her head back and shooting Sheila a confused glare. Sheila appears just as confused about the vote as Irene does.

ELLA 1 vote Irene, 1 vote Ella.

Ella proceeds to nod slowly, suddenly appearing very nervous as she sees her name come up.

Billy 1 vote Irene, 1 vote Ella, 1 vote Billy.

Billy now leans forward in his seat, resting his elbows on his knees, and putting his hands together as he rests his head on them.

Ella

That's 2 votes Ella, 1 vote Irene, 1 vote Billy.

BILLY

We're tied. 2 votes Ella, 2 votes Billy, 1 votes Irene.

Seeing his name come up a second time, Billy proceeds to shift nervously in his seat and bite down on his bottom lip.

FRANK That's 2 votes Billy, 2 votes Ella, 1 vote Irene... 1 vote Frank.

Most of the cast appear quite confused by this vote, none more so than Frank and Billy, whose eyes go very wide.

FRANK We now have a three way tie... 2 votes Billy... 2 votes Ella... 2 votes Frank... 1 vote Irene... and 1 vote left...

Seeing his name come up a second time, Frank appears extremely confused...

Irene tilts her head to one side, simply appearing to be curious as to whose name is on the last vote...

Ella stares straight ahead at Jeff, with her hands in the "praying" position...

Billy is still quite visibly nervous, almost looking as though he is getting sick to his stomach...

Third person voted out of Survivor: Guyana...

Sir Franklin I need you to bring me your torch.

Shocked by the result of the vote, Frank's eyes go even wider and his mouth instinctively falls open as #Blindside appears on the bottom, left-hand corner of the screen. The real estate agent quickly composes himself and stands up without a word. As Frank grabs his torch, Billy is shown breathing a huge sigh of relief, though he still appears very confused, as does Geoff. K.C. also appears to be extremely confused as he looks towards Ella, who just shrugs her shoulders. Meanwhile, Sheila and Irene are both giggling like school-girls, while Kelly-Ann has a satisfied grin on her face. Frank is then shown placing his torch in the holder in front of Jeff then looking at the host with a scowl on his face.

Jeff Probst: Frank, the tribe has spoken.

Jeff now places the snuffer on top of Frank's torch, extinguishing the flame. As Probst removes the snuffer, a puff of smoke can be seen rising from the torch.

Jeff Probst: It's time for you to go.

Without a word, Frank leaves the Tribal council area, and heads off into the night.

Jeff Probst: Well, all that balls to the wall strategizing you guys were talking about led to half this tribe receiving votes tonight. How's that for seeing where people stand? It'll be interesting to see what kinds of risks you're willing to take now seeing that, just like riding a bike, you haven't forgotten the art of the blindside. If anything is for certain, it's that the training wheels are most definitely off this season. Grab your torches, head back to camp. Good night.

The music now begins to pick as the seven remaining members of the Orealla tribe collect their bags and their torches, then make their way back towards camp.

After a moment, the camera switches to the jungle pathway that Frank is currently storming down, visibly angry upon having been blindsided. Soon, a burning torch in the distance catches Frank's eyes. Curious, Frank walks towards the torch finding a station with the names and cast photos of each of the 22 castaways that remained in the game at the start of this cycle, sorted by tribe. On either side of the cast names and photos he sees two big stamps. On his right is a big, green stamp labelled "APPROVE". On Frank's left is a big, red stamp labelled "DISAPPROVE". Just above the display, right at eye-level, is a note that was left for the eliminated castaway, explaining what they are seeing.

Frank (Reading): Although you have just been voted out, and lost your chance at a million dollars, you still have two chances to influence the game. The castaway you choose to give your "Stamp of Approval" to receive an advantage in the game tomorrow morning. The castaway you choose to give your "Stamp of Disapproval" to will receive a disadvantage in the game tomorrow morning. This is your chance to reward someone in the game that you wish to do well, as well as get some revenge on someone you feel has done you wrong. Good luck.

Without hesitation, Frank takes the red stamp marked "DISAPPROVE" and stamps Billy's picture.

Frank (Scoffs): Can't believe he's still in the game.

Pedro then looks over the cast names and photos again for a moment before picking up the green stamp marked "APPROVE" and stamping K.C.'s picture.

Frank: I guess if I have to root for someone, I'll root for him.

With a huff, Frank continues walking down the path, with the scene soon fading out.

Tribal Council - Wai Wai[]

The Wai Wai tribe is now shown entering Tribal Council carrying their torches as Jeff Probst awaits their arrival. They are walking in a single-file line in the following order: Anu, Whitney, Jessica M., Pat, Neville, Arthur, Evander. The castaways then proceed to place their torches in a slot behind their respective stool and sit down. Once the Wai Wai tribe is situated, Probst sits down himself.

Jeff Probst: Alright, let's get right down to it. Mendez, last time you guys were here, you seemed to air out a lot of dirty laundry, so to speak, in what looked to me like a last ditch effort to save yourself. Would that be a fair statement?

Jessica M. (Nods): You can say that.

Jeff Probst: Well, after all that how are you feeling walking back into Tribal Council five days later?

Jessica M. (Choosing her words carefully): Ummm... a little more optimistic tonight than I was then. I'm still not entirely sure I've gotten off the bottom. But unlike last time, there was nothing, and nobody that gave me the indication that I'm going home and need to pull off some sort of sorcery to stay.

Jeff Probst: So it seems safe to say that Hurricane Mendez is not in tonight's forecast, from what you're telling.

Jessica M. (Giggles): Sounds about right. Unless someone does or says something that completely pisses me off, I'm not quite stupid enough to do something that would straight-up alienate me from these people.

Jeff Probst: Neville, along with Lacey, you were one of the people that Mendez really took aim at the last time you were here. What was the fallout from that for you? What sort of damage control, if any, did you need to do when you got back to camp?

Neville: Upon the conclusion of our previous Tribal Council, I wanted to prove to my alliance that I was someone that could be trusted in this game and that my intentions out here were not to lie, deceive, manipulate, or back-stab anybody, and I had set out to do just that.

Jeff Probst: Do you think you were successful?

Neville (Shrugs): I reckon that my success with regard to those initiatives shall be determined by whether or not I remain in the competition after tonight.

Jeff Probst: How about for you, Whitney? How did everything that happened at your last Tribal Council affect the overall feel around camp?

Whitney: I think there was just a lot of confusion after the last vote, especially from me 'cause my name was thrown out as the decoy target last time. It's definitely made me more wary of who I'm actually placing my trust in out here 'cause clearly everyone's playing to win, and something tells me, there's more than one shady character at our camp. You have to worry about everyone to some degree.

Jeff Probst: How about for you, Arthur? How have you been feeling about this tribe since your last Tribal Council?

Arthur: Whitney's totally right, man. You do gotta be wary of everybody to some degree, especially since after that last vote, I've really been noticing that some people on this tribe are much closer than I originally thought.

This comment brings a worried expression to Whitney's face as she looks right at Anu, perhaps for a sign of comfort, as Arthur continues.

Arthur: Last Tribal showed me that you can't always take what everyone says at face value out here, 'cause some people are utter snakes. But with this bein' a social game, ya' know, you have to evaluate your relationships with certain people, and also their relationships with others to know if they're even trustworthy at all. But you also can't forget 'bout the people that have already proven themselves to be major threats in this game. So yeah, this vote is very complicated, in a lotta ways for sure. I'll tell ya', my decision tonight was not an easy one, that's for sure.

As Arthur finishes up his statement, Anu appears to be nodding at Whitney, prompting the nature photographer to turn back around in her seat to face Jeff. Jessica M. had also been leaning towards the two of them, but is now sitting up straight.

Jeff Probst: Anu, what are your thoughts on what Arthur had just said?

Anu (Choosing her words carefully): I don't think he's exactly wrong. This is a complex game where you have to look at your bonds with people and make gut decisions about who you do or don't trust. It's all just a matter of sticking with who we think will get us farthest in the game.

Jeff Probst: So Pat, if there was all this confusion after the last vote, where does that place you in this whole thing, and how are you feeling going into this next vote?

Pat: Well, I don't think it's really much of a secret that I was on the bottom at the start of the last vote, and I am still a bit worried 'bout where I stand in this tribe right now. I know there's a lotta confusion and deception goin' on 'round here, bit it looks like I'm just gonna have to trust the people that gave me their word, and hope 'n' pray they're tellin' me the truth.

Jeff Probst: How about you, Neville? After everything that's gone on these past few days, how safe do you feel right now going into this next vote?

Neville (Shakes head slowly): Not safe at all, Jeff. I know that, like Pat, I got people that gave me their word, and I do hope that they intend on sticking with that promise this evening. Especially considering everything that happened at our inaugural Tribal Council, I hope my allies truly see and appreciate that I am sincere in my desire to be loyal and trustworthy to them for the remainder of the game.

Jeff Probst: Well, I'll say that it has been a very interesting Tribal Council. It seems like most, if not all of you, have a lot of questions you're just itching to get answers to. Well, now's the time to answer some of those questions. It is time to vote. Evander, you're up.

Once Jeff says his name, Evander proceeds to stand up and make his way towards the voting booth in order to cast his vote. As he removes the skull-shaped paperweight off of the parchment, the camera fades out. The remaining castaways cast their votes in this order: Neville, Anu, Pat, Whitney, Arthur, and finally Jessica M. No votes are revealed, and no voting confessionals are aired. Jessica M. is simply shown placing the lid back on the urn and returning to her seat. Once Jessica sits back down, the camera turns back to Jeff.

Jeff Probst: I'll go tally the votes.

Jeff leaves to fetch the urn. Once he returns, he addresses the castaways.

Jeff Probst: If anybody has a Hidden Immunity Idol and would like to play it, now would be the time to do so.

As a few castaways look around at each other, the camera focuses on the holder of the Hidden Immunity Idol, Jessica M., who simply looks straight ahead at Probst with a stoic expression on her face. Seeing that nobody is playing an idol, Jeff continues.

Jeff Probst: Okay, once the votes are read, the decision is final. Person voted out may be asked to leave the Tribal Council area immediately. I'll read the votes.

Jeff Probst: First vote... Neville

Neville lets out a long sigh, knowing for sure that due to his penalty vote disadvantage, at least one vote was coming his way tonight no matter what.

WHIT WHIT We're at 1 vote Neville, 1 vote Whitney.

Whitney can't help but giggle uncontrollably for a few moments upon seeing what has been written down on the parchment

Whitney

Whitney stops giggling now as she nervously stares towards Probst.

WHITNEY That's 3 votes Whitney, 1 vote Nevile.

Both Anu and Whitney appear confused by what they are seeing.

ARTHUR That's 3 votes Whitney, 1 vote Arthur, 1 vote Neville.

Arthur gasps and puts both hands over his mouth, shocked to have received a vote.

King Arthur We're now at 3 votes Whitney, 2 votes Arthur, 1 vote Neville.

Arthur We're tied... 3 votes Whitney, 3 votes Arthur, 1 vote Neville... 1 vote left.

Fourth person voted out of Survivor: Guyana...

~~ADAM SANDLER~~
ARTHUR I need you to bring me your torch.

Arthur, Neville, and Evander all look incredibly shocked by the result of the vote as #Blindside appears on the bottom, left-hand corner of the screen. The YouTube Film Critic has his head in his hands and proceeds to start shaking his head as he processes what exactly happened.

Arthur: Woooooowwww... you guys got me good... real good.

Whitney is shown breathing a huge sigh of relief while Jessica can't help but flash a devilish smirk. Arthur is then shown giving bro-hugs to Neville and Evander before taking his torch and bringing it over to Probst. Arthur then places his torch in the designated holder and shakes his head one more time before looking back up at Jeff.

Arthur: Wowzers... I can't believe it, man.

Jeff Probst: Arthur, the tribe has spoken.

Jeff then places the snuffer on top of Arthur's torch, extinguishing the flame. As Probst removes the snuffer, a puff of smoke rises from it, officially signalling Arthur's elimination.

Jeff Probst: It's time for you to go.

Arthur now turns around to face his former tribe.

Arthur: Good luck to all of you, I truly mean it.

Arthur then departs the Tribal Council area, and heads off into the night.

Jeff Probst: Well... I think it's safe to say that the dynamics on this tribe truly have shifted a lot already from where they were at your first vote. Trust seemed to be a major theme of tonight's Tribal Council. After what seemed like a relatively big blindside, it'll be interesting to see how much of that trust still remains... if any. Grab your torches, head back to camp. Good night.

Ominous music now begins to play as the seven remaining members of the Wai Wai tribe collect their bags and their torches, then make their way back towards camp.

After a moment, the camera switches to the jungle pathway that Arthur is currently walking down. The YouTube Film Critic continues shaking his head from side to side, seeming to be wondering where it all went wrong for him as he processes his shocking blindside. Soon, a burning torch in the distance catches Arthur's eyes. Arthur eagerly walks towards the torch finding a station with the names and cast photos of each of the 21 castaways that remained in the game at the start of Wai Wai's Tribal Council, sorted by tribe. On either side of the cast names and photos he sees two big stamps. On his right is a big, green stamp labelled "APPROVE". On Arthur's left is a big, red stamp labelled "DISAPPROVE". Just above the display, right at eye-level, is a note that was left for the eliminated castaway, explaining what they are seeing.

Arthur (Reading): Although you have just been voted out, and lost your chance at a million dollars, you still have two chances to influence the game. The castaway you choose to give your "Stamp of Approval" to receive an advantage in the game tomorrow morning. The castaway you choose to give your "Stamp of Disapproval" to will receive a disadvantage in the game tomorrow morning. This is your chance to reward someone in the game that you wish to do well, as well as get some revenge on someone you feel has done you wrong. Good luck.

Arthur nods for a few moments as he contemplates what he has just read. After a brief moment, he takes the green stamp, marked "APPROVE" and hovers it above the names and cast photos of his former tribe mates for another moment before stamping Neville's picture.

Arthur: I enjoyed our time together towards the end, and I do believe he was serious 'bout his loyalty to me.

Arthur then looks over the cast names and photos again for a few minutes before picking up the red stamp marked "DISAPPROVE." He then hovers the stamp above the photos of his former tribe mates for a few moments, seeming to struggle with his decision, before shrugging his shoulders and stamping Whitney's picture.

Arthur: I don't hate her, but she's the most dangerous, and this'll be another way to help Neville and Evander.

Arthur then lets out a long sigh before continuing to walk down the pathway as the camera hones in on the board with the castaway names and pictures on it. The scene then fades into the final words.

Final Words[]

FRANK BEBKO
	"Well, I guess certain people on my tribe decided to get together and make the dumb move of purging the threats early, just because they can. It really pisses me off that I'm here and not Billy since I have so much more that I can offer to any particular tribe or alliance than that kid ever could! He is not cut out for this game at all, and nobody in their right mind would trust a word that he, or Irene for that matter, even says. I think my tribe of supposed seasoned veterans are certainly gonna come to regret the move they made tonight. But you know what? They can't say they haven't been warned."

ARTHUR DOYLE
	"Geez man, here already?! (Laughs) Here I thought I was gonna be Survivor's Orson Welles, winnin' this real life War of the Worlds. But instead, I'm Michael Bay's Transformers by comparison. To be honest, man... I don't even know what happened. I just know I'm rootin' for my boys Neville and Evander all the way. I had a lot of fun though, and I'll definitely do this again in a heart-beat if I could."

Voting Confessionals[]

Next Time on Survivor[]

As friendships grow stronger...
I'm so glad you're out here with me.

...and rivalries grow bitter...
I can't stand her face, I can't stand her voice, I can't stand the s*** that spews out of her mouth... I can't stand her anything!

The game has a tendency to flip all of that on its head...

Jeff Probst: Everybody... drop your buffs!

Author's Notes[]

The episode title was said by Bernadette Kampen as she ranted in a confessional about how she was feeling during the rain storm on day 7.

Special thanks to Tanglefrost for looking over the interaction between Elvis & Kye on day 7 in the shelter before I published it.

Winston Churchill's famous quote about democracy that is referenced in Neville Yoong's second confessional on day 8 actually reads "Democracy is the worst form of government, except for all the others."
