Story[]

Intro[]

The opening scene shows an island surrounded by water. As the camera shot gets closer and closer, we are greeted by a boat of ten individuals.

Jeff: Survivor has been going on for many seasons and over the past three seasons, we have seen many emotional, dramatic, heart-warming, comedic, and intensifying moments for this season. There have been epic players in the past seasons. Some of them have been strong players while others haven't lived up to expectations. Yet, there have been three winners in this series and their lives have been changed. Houston, a Texas Ranger and cowboy who has since remarried after his first wife's passing to fellow castmate Brooklyn and the two have two kids along with two more from Houston's first marriage. Hannah, a former Wyoming basketball player who has since gotten a role in the WNBA and is married to her husband Ken. And Eugene, the Oregon pizza delivery boy and video gamer who has since started college at Oregon State University and is currently the talk of the town including a new girlfriend. But while those three players are iconic and will go down in history as winners, there were others who were just as impactful to the game. Fans have fallen in love with these contestants and so, our fourth season has reached a compromise. Ten fans of the show have arrived to Singapore to compete for their chance at a million dollars and a title of Sole Survivor. Standing in their way, however are ten of the most iconic players in recent memory who have either brought entertainment to the show or were strong players, but failed to reach the end. Now, they are back for a second chance and are looking to make themselves millionaires.

The boat of fans is shown once again.

Jeff: Each of these fans has a story to tell for why they are here. Some have had to make adjustments on new dreams like Devin, a personal trainer and chef from Baltimore, Maryland

	“I was a pretty good baseball player, but I was never able to contribute to the game. With my dreams and ability to adjust and succeed in my lifestyle, I feel that I need to find a new challenge and Survivor to me brings that.”
Devin

Jeff: Some have found courage and inspiration to be here like Adanna, a motivational speaker from Jersey City, New Jersey.

	“My life has had to deal with coming to accept myself for who I am. Being out here is scary because I don't know who or if anyone will be willing to accept me because of my past and my situation. I hope I am wrong, but I have achieved a lot previously.”
Adanna

Jeff: Some have recently taken an interest in Survivor like Kelsey, a baker from Clayton, Missouri.

	“I tried to ignore my kids' pleas to be on the show. However, I am here and hoping to make things easier on my family back home. If I get nervous, it's because I'm not used to having people see me even though I am a sociable person.”
Kelsey

Jeff: While some are here for fun and excitement like Charles, a retired talk show host and current editor from Winooski, Vermont.

	“I don't really need the money because I'm secure financially. This is just me going in to learn about different lifestyles of people and hopefully I can understand the differences of each other to make me learn about how other people express themselves.”
Charles

Jeff: These four plus their six others are arriving to the island right now and they will get to meet the ten players who will be a part of this season. It all begins right now. The fourth season of Survivor, which will also include one more twist. Who will win this time around? A fan or a favorite? Find out now on Survivor: Singapore - Fans vs. Favorites.

Day 1[]

Meeting Point[]

The ten fans arrive to the island where they meet Jeff, who welcomes them to the show, Each of the fans clap. Jeff looks to see who will answer a question and he points to the older woman named Carla. He asks her if she's thought about players that might be on this season. Carla replies that she feels she might see Ruth, Angelica, Winnie, and maybe Carson based on what she heard on some rumors.

	“I don't like to do spoilers, but I heard rumors on players who actually might be playing this season and those four names were the one's that came up often. I might see all four of them. I might see none of them. With Survivor, they pull rabbits out of hats and it brings a shock and excitement.”
Carla

Jeff turns to Bill and asks if he's anxious about playing his game with a bunch of favorites. Bill feels he's not afraid and that they can talk to him when they feel like it.

	“I'm not here to make friends. I'm here to win and that's what I plan on doing. I will win this game and take the million dollar check. It will make the ten grand I won at the magic tournament feel like chunk change.”
Bill

Jeff then asks if everyone is ready to meet the favorites and everyone replies they are. Jeff then says bring them out and suddenly, not one, but two helicopters fly over to the island. They both land safely on the ground.

	“Helicopters flying in to the island? You know stuff is about to go down. We're about to meet ten players who have previously played this game and I can only imagine what we must be feeling like right now. I'm getting goosebumps already and I have yet to see the favorites come out.”
Leandro

And now... the Favorites.

From Survivor: Bora Bora - Four Corners, she was best remembered for her rivalry with another contestant that turned into a relationship. After her controversial remarks on homosexuals, old women, and deceased wives, it led to her departure. Claiming to clean up her act, she is back in the game and looking to make the most of her second chance. It's Angelica Francis.

From Survivor: Olympics - He had a rivalry with Ann on the show and was in an alliance with a tennis player that did disrupt some votes, but for the wrong reasons. He was voted out in the merge. A college football player who recently got undrafted in the NFL Draft, this guy is hoping his time could make him a player in the NFL soon. Welcome back Cleveland Perry.

Also from Survivor: Olympics - It's only fitting that we can't have this season without the other member of the rivalry. She was a player that was aligned with three other members on the Pyrgos tribe, including Hannah. She was playing a strong game until she got blindsided at Tribal Council. A volleyball player, she recently completed her senior season and is looking to coach in the future. But first, she now has reasons to win. Here's Ann Lansing.

From Survivor: Colorados - The Forgotten - He was the first person to be sent to Forgotten Island, but came back and had a strong game aligning with Eugene and Winnie. But, he was also on the wrong end of a controversial moment with Chester, who tried to get him to be in a relationship. This player has had counseling to overcome that stigma and is now hoping to make new Survivor memories. Still in college, he's ready for another crack. Give it up for Milton Clay.

From Survivor: Bora Bora - Four Corners - She was assigned to the Lacina tribe, but kept her alliances with that tribe tight despite their early disbandment. Her best move occurred when she saved her ally Paulina by telling her to go back to camp early, which prevented any chance of Paulina's blindside. Yet, she almost got voted out that night. That move would make her a target and a few nights later, she was voted out. A college student still, she has improved her social life and is ready to show her new look. Ladies and gentlemen, Eva Wayne.

Another player from Survivor: Bora Bora - Four Corners - He was part of the Mariano tribe where he became aligned with Brooklyn, Ruth, and his eventual girlfriend Quinn to form the Phillies. He found an advantage, which turned out to be a idol nullifier that blocked Houston's idol from being played. Unfortunately, that same night, he was blindsided by Terrance. Since then, this rapper has enjoyed a relationship with Quinn, who is currently pregnant with their first child. The man from Pennsylvania. Say hi to Phil Pitt.

From Survivor: Olympics - She was part of the Rainbow Alliance from the start, which lasted until the tribes split. After losing an ally in the vote, her game came to a sudden end when she was medically evacuated following an injury to herself. She recovered fully and returned to riding horses back in Wisconsin. Not wanting to have her Survivor career end like this, she wants to play this game without injury. Here she is. Madison Stevens.

From Survivor: Bora Bora - Four Corners - He was an early mastermind on the show who got himself in a relationship with Angelica, who despised him from the start. However, he would try to both work with and play Scott in some early votes, which unfortunately made him a target and he was sent home away. Even if Angelica does not want to admit, she and this player are still together. Welcome to the show Seattle Kirkland.

From Survivor: Colorados - The Forgotten - She was a woman who didn't appreciate being called a soft woman and that included her presence felt when she punched Eugene following a prank, although he would redeem himself later on. Together with Eugene and Milton, she tried to take out the power players, including Carson and Juan, but an error of judgement led to her blindside. Now, she is back and with an ally already, it's time to return to the game, Winnie McLean.

Last, but certainly not least. From Survivor: Bora Bora - Four Corners - He will always be haunted by one vote for Rosalyn. Yet, in spite of that, he would slowly work his way back to contention winning an immunity challenge as well as playing a critical advantage. But, his game would end when he threw the final four immunity challenge and lost a final four fire-making challenge to Houston, who went on to win the game. Never wanting to hear the name Rosalyn again, he is back. Come on down Scott Phoenix.

Once the favorites are back, Jeff asks Scott how it feels to be back in the game after three seasons. Scott says he feels honored to return to the game and he hopes to make the most of the opportunity this time. Jeff then asks Phil why he's here when his girlfriend is back home with a child on the way. Phil says he just wants to make things easier by winning again by the time the child is born.

	“I had a lot of time to decide whether or not I should go or give up my spot because Quinn is pregnant and she is nearing the approach of her due date with our child. So, for me, this was not an easy choice. Yet, Quinn told me to go out there and win it and that's what I'm going to do. When someone you love tells you to go do something, you get on a plane and go do it.”
Phil

After a quick conversation, it's time for the first twist. Jeff asks everyone who they feel should be voted off from their tribe based on first impressions. Starting with the fans, he asks for their opinions.

Adanna - Bill
Bill - Florra
Carla - Kati
Charles - Kati
Devin - Bill
Florra - Carla
Husayn - Florra
Kati - Florra
Kelsey - Florra
Leandro - Florra

With five votes, Florra is asked to step forward from Jeff.

	“I am a little surprised I was voted by my tribe simply because they think I'm sort of a low-life that looks like I belong in the streets. You know, I used to be a beauty queen winning a pageant, but my life as a street cleaner is kind of down low in their eyes.”
Florra

Jeff then turns to the favorites and asks for their votes.

Angelica - Scott
Ann - Angelica
Cleveland - Angelica
Eva - Angelica
Madison - Angelica
Milton - Eva
Phil - Angelica
Scott - Angelica
Seattle - Scott
Winnie - Angelica

With seven votes, Angelica is asked to step forward.

	“Well, it just comes to show how stupid my tribemates are. They voted for me to be voted out first. Too bad, I know the drill. I'm still in this game and I'm still going to win. I was robbed the last time even though I probably deserve justice for my behavior. However, I'm confident in my chances to win this time.”
Angelica

As expected, Jeff tells Angelica and Florra that rather than be voted out, they will get a head start to their camps right away. He then gives each tribe their buffs and designates the fans' tribe Kusu while the Favorites gets Tekong. With everything in set, Angelica and Florra take off for their camps while everyone waits before they can depart for camp.

Kusu[]

Florra arrives first to camp and is soon greeted by a note. It tells her that since she is the first one to reach the island, she now has two options. Either a) start making the camp or b) go searching for an idol with the clue.

Florra: Ooh! As much as I want to find the idol badly, I need to make a good impression on my tribe.

	“Selfishly, I want to find the idol and get a good start to this game because my tribe voted for me, which indicates I might not be in their good graces just yet. At the same time, I realize that if I do so, it will only make things worse for me. So, my best option is to start working on camp. I'm used to cleaning things on the streets, but not building a mess.”
Florra

Florra starts by gathering as much items as she can possibly that seem worth for building a shelter. Soon, she starts trying her luck putting the pieces of wood together and manages to make the bottom floor of the shelter. Eventually, she starts working on the side of the shelter and struggles as the pieces of wood fall off the side forcing her to start over.

Florra: Drat!

	“For me, I struggled with growing up. I am someone who doesn't say a whole lot and that will be something I'll use to my advantage. My plan is not to be as proactive at first, but once I am, I will do so in a way that makes it seem like I'm just having regular chats. That's what worked for me in my life. I've had to not be flashy since I'm a shy person. I have to brave the elements and hopefully I can earn the others' trust.”
Florra

The other fans arrive and see how much she's done and are impressed with her efforts, although it isn't much.

Carla: Wow chica, you did more than I can count.

Florra: Well, I tried to make an impression.

Lenadro: It's okay! We can all pitch in since we're here.

Kati: Girls will work on the fire.

Devin: Right! The men will fix the shelter.

Leandro: That settles it then.

	“To say Florra impressed me would be an understatement. I really doubted what she could bring to this game. I wouldn't say she's a power player, but I think I could potentially see her as an ally in this game if it is meant to be. She tried so hard to make the shelter, even though it's a bad one. Maybe I gave her such a hard time when I voted for her.”
Leandro

As soon as the fans are working, they get to know each other.

Kati: I guess I'll start. I'm Kati from Eugene, Oregon. I'm a graphic artist and an activist.

Bill: What do you protest?

Kati: Mostly gay marriage. I have a girlfriend back home.

Kelsey: That's cool! I'm okay with that.

Devin: Not a problem with me.

Charles: I'm gay as well.

Bill: Really?

Charles: Yes! I'm Charles from Winooski, Vermont. I'm an editor now and I have a husband as well.

Kati: That's awesome!

	“My Survivor strategy going in is to hopefully work with people that have similar backgrounds as me or that they're gay. When Charles told me that he's gay, I thought there's my ally. I need to have him on my side. It would really be nice to have an all-gay final three. I just hope there's a third person so that we can make it and show everyone gays and lesbians can compete as well.”
Kati

Leandro: Okay! I'm Leandro!

Charles: Leonardo?

Leandro: No, Leandro!

Charles: That's what you said. Leonardo.

Leandro: No! Leandro. Lee-andro!

Charles: Le-and-dro! Le-an-dro!

Leandro: Yes!

Charles: Le-an-dro! Okay!

Leandro: Got it?

Charles: Sure thing Leonardo.

The tribe laughs.

Leandro: Yes, I'm not Leonardo. It's Leandro and I'm from Albuquerque, New Mexico. I'm a cyber security analyst.

Bill: Do you intercept hackers?

Leandro: Something like that.

Bill: I see! I'm Bill from Big Timber, Montana and I'm a clerk.

Devin: Where do you work?

Bill: At a store in Montana.

Devin: I know, but what kind of store.

Bill: Just a regular convenience store.

Devin: That's cool!

Kelsey: Well, I'm Kelsey. I'm 40 and a baker from Clayton, Missouri. I have three kids and a husband who I met in high school. Forgive me if I don't know the game as well as you others.

Charles: It's cool! I don't know it as much as you either.

	“We already have a few players who don't know about Survivor. Like, what the hell did they sign up for? A vacation? This isn't a vacation. This is Survivor. In my opinion, I might see to it that they are the first ones to go.”
Bill

Carla: I'm Carla from Miami. I teach Latin dance. So, if anyone needs lessons, I'll be willing to teach although y'all will be fortunate since I get paid to teach.

Devin: I'm Devin. I'm a chef from Baltimore who also does personal trainers. Don't be intimidated if I look good or am in shape. Also, I'm sorry to any of you women. I am engaged to a woman.

Husayn: I'm Husayn! I'm 20. So I'm a college student. I don't know how much y'all have Twitch or any social media, but I do Twitch online. If you can, give me a follow. I also live in Seattle.

Florra: Darn! There goes my hope. (laughs). I'm Florra. I'm a street cleaner from San Antonio. I hope I did a good job making an impression after getting voted by y'all earlier.

Adanna: I'm Adanna. I'm a motivational speaker from Jersey City, New Jersey. That's pretty much all I have to say.

	“I'm not shy in telling others about my secret, but I am a little worried that it might make me somewhat of a target because there have been people that have discriminated against me in the past. I'm hoping that I can earn the trust of these people to where they don't make fun of me and work with me like I'm just another ally.”
Adanna

Tekong[]

Meanwhile, Angelica arrives to her camp and is given the same instructions as Florra. Unlike her fan counterpart, Angelica has other ideas.

Angelica: Screw the tribe, except for Seattle. Can't believe I'm still dating the fool. I need the idol for myself.

Angelica reads the instructions to the clue and realizes that the idol is located at a fire pit. She starts looking for the idol in a makeshift fire pit.

	“Last time I played, I might've been a spoiled, dirty, rotten bitch for thinking I was the best thing. I did need some humble pie, but I've managed to improve myself. By that, I mean I'm going to try and act more like a spoiled, dirty, rotten bitch times a thousand. With that being said, first thing I'm doing is looking for my idol.”
Angelica

Angelica keeps looking in the fire pit, but is unable to find the idol. What she doesn't realize is that while the idol is in a fire pit, it's in a different one somewhere on the island.

	“What the f***? I was sure the idol was in a fire pit. The clue literally said the idol was in a fire pit and I don't see the idol in the fire pit. What the hell is this? I need the idol because I'm sure the idol is in the fire pit. Geez! Survivor needs to do a better job explaining things to people or picking different spots.”
Angelica

Angelica takes off to keep looking for the idol. She will not be successful in finding the thing. Meanwhile, the others arrive to see that nothing has been done.

Scott: Different season. Some old faces and some new ones. Same old Angelica.

Milton: Anyone believed she would start on the shelter?

Madison: No! We might have to work ourselves.

Seattle shakes his head while Phil starts grabbing wood.

	“If anyone had been paying attention and saw Season 1 of this series, you would know that Angelica doesn't work around camp. You would know that Angelica will be searching for idols. She did that last time on my tribe then and she will continue to do so for this tribe. That's Angelica in a nutshell for you folks.”
Scott

	“I told Angelica that we need to lay low early on in the game. This was when we were in bed together before we came on the show. I said we need to lay low and not be aggressive early on in the show. But, being who she is, she wants to win the game and she wants to be aggressive early. So, I have no choice but to ignore her. I will manage to string her back to my side soon. Right now, I can't afford to have my game be jeopardize by Angelica's aggression.”
Seattle

The others start to work on their shelter and get a fire set up.

Madison: So Winnie and Milt, you still feeling better from Colorados?

Winnie: Mentally, yes. But physically, I'm not sure.

Milton: I lost like fifty pounds. I came within seven pounds of getting back to my starting weight.

Madison: I see!

Winnie: How about you with your situation?

Madison: I'm feeling better. I'm so glad Survivor gave me a second chance in this game.

	“My last season ended horrifically when I unfortunately passed out in the heat and suffered some injuries. I felt so terrible and horrible about it because my game was in limbo with my alliance. I thought I could recover and get further than I did. Once I was fully healed, I hoped and prayed for a second chance. Sure enough, they called me and asked if I liked to return and I said 'hell yeah.' So I'm back in the game.”
Madison

Madison: I miss my horses already, but I'm glad to be back with good company.

Just then from a distance...

Ann: Hey! That's my spot!

Cleveland: It's not! It's mine! Your's is over there.

Ann: It's mine!

Cleveland: It's not!

Ann: It's mine!

Cleveland: It's not!

Madison: Well, almost good company.

The shot shows Ann and Cleveland arguing over a spot in the shelter.

Ann: I sleep on my left side.

Cleveland: But you're right handed.

Ann: So?

Cleveland: I need this spot to rest my hip.

Ann: Right! I forgot about your injury to your hip. How hard did that linebacker take you out?

Cleveland: If I hadn't gotten hurt, we would've beaten Michigan again.

Ann: Yeah, you were behind 28-3. Like that's ever been a comeback pulled off before.

Cleveland: Well, excuse me for missing out on the biggest comeback ever. But, I need to rest my hip.

Ann: Well how about you sleep on the right side of the shelter on your left side.

Cleveland: I can't do that. I need the breeze.

Ann: You arrogant person.

Cleveland: It's called swagger baby.

Everyone, who stopped and watched all this happened, can't help but laugh.

	“When I learned that Ann and Cleveland would be part of our season, I started thinking here we go again. Those two people are so bad they make the Flintstones look like the Sopranos. I think Survivor loves a rivalry in this game. Hell, we already got a couple in Angelica and Seattle. So, why not have two people who can't stand each other? This will be fun.”
Eva

	“As soon as I was selected for the favorites tribe, I was hoping that Cleveland wouldn't be picked. Please don't pick Cleveland because he sickens me at times. Well, sure enough, after eight more people were selected, my worst nightmare came true. I'm stuck on a tribe with Cleveland. Why does God hate me right now? I believe in him, but why do I have to deal with chaos?”
Ann

	“I'm having a bad time in my life. From getting injured and losing to Michigan to not being drafted in the NFL. Then, to have a dumb virus before getting myself back out here in this game. Oh, and as a bonus, I got to deal with blonde-hair pretty nasty ugly woman Ann who went on a twitter spree about how she enjoyed watching Michigan kick my ass. I was having a good game. I had five carries for 60 yards until a steroid-taking linebacker blindsided me. What kind of drugs is that fool on? I am embarrassed by this. Being on the same tribe as Ann again is going to suck. I guess it's fitting when your name is Cleveland.”
Cleveland

Day 2[]

Kusu[]

On the fans' tribe for the second day, everyone gets up and wonders around while comparing notes on how each of them slept. During this exchange, Kati and Charles seem to get together and talk about their experiences of being gay.

Kati: How long did you know before you came out?

Charles: I think I was in high school when I felt something different about me. A few years later, I started seeing a guy and it was a happy time. Unfortunately, that relationship ended, but in a peaceful way. Still, that relationship helped me find my husband.

Kati: Were your parents?

Charles: Yeah! They told me they supported me. I think they knew I was before I would really come out to them. So, all is good. How about you?

Kati: Well, to say the least, I think I knew ever since I started kissing girls.

Charles: Is that so?

Kati: Yeah! My parents weren't really into that. They weren't homophobic, but they just didn't want me to fall into that lifestyle and look where I'm at.

	“Charles and I were talking and we just bonded over the fact that we both were living the LGBTQ lifestyles. I want to work with him in this game because while I have friends that are straight, I feel that I identify more than people within the gay community. If this goes to work, then Charles and I might be able to run things around camp.”
Kati

Kati: I would like to work with you in the game because you and I are both similar in our beliefs. So, I'm proposing an alliance deal with you.

Charles: Okay! I don't mean to decline, but my concern is that I saw the second season and the alliance that was all-lesbian didn't go so well.

Kati: Well, they were more out there. We wouldn't be. We would be more reserved in this game.

Charles: I understand for sure.

Kati: If that's what you want, we can work with it.

Charles: I want an alliance as well.

Kati: Good! We'll need to be discreet about it.

Charles: Oh! I hear you about that.

	“Kati and I are officially aligned with each other. I'm the oldest one in the bunch and for me to finally have an ally in the game really says about a positive first step. Now that I have an ally, I can work with her and hopefully, we can make it to the end. My only concern is that as a former talk-show host, people might see me and realize that I already have fame and money in my pocket. So far, no one has recognized who I am. Hopefully, I can be quiet and silent about that.”
Charles

Elsewhere, Bill is already looking around for what you and I believe is to be the idol.

	“I'm here to win the game and I'm here to take the money. I'm a clerk by day and a magician by night. No one will see me. I wish I had a wand so that I can disappear. You think they would let me have the invisibility cloak from Harry Potter? Anyways, I'm out looking for an idol to save myself in the long haul.”
Bill

Instead of an idol, what Bill does find is that he is being watched by Husayn and Leandro from afar.

Leandro: Can you believe this guy? It's Day Two and he already thinks he's in trouble.

Husayn: I hear you man. I don't like how he's approaching the game.

Leandro: You thinking what I'm thinking?

Husayn: We need another stooge.

	“Last night, Leandro and I talked about working together. We struck a deal and now, we're paired up in this game. However, a duo won't be enough. We need to find a third person. Sure enough, Bill is over there looking for some stuff and he happens to be caught. I think he suspects he's being caught. So, hopefully, we can make this thing work and get him on our side.”
Husayn

The two men approach Bill and ask what he is doing. Bill says he was trying to see if there was any sort of animals around that he can watch. Leandro replies that the odds of animals approaching the island are zero to one unless they are dangerous themselves. Bill seems confused by this, byt Husayn switches the topic and asks about working together.

Husayn: The thing is Leo and I are aligned and we think it would be best if we added a third. No one would think you would be working with us.

Leandro: Oh for sure. They would assume you are lonesome.

Bill: I'm not lonesome. I'm just a player.

Leandro: Well, as a player, you need us aligning with you.

Husayn: Final three all the way.

Bill: I like that. I think I'll consider.

	“I don't want to work with people. I don't want to be friends with these people. Survivor is a social game and I need act all happy and excited about this. Show my smile even if it's fake. My chin may be busted up, but at least it makes me beautiful inside. Therefore, I will go along with these losers' plan of working with them.”
Bill

Bill: So, who do we target first?

Leandro: Let's wait and see what happens tomorrow. I have a few ideas, but I need to be sure I want them to happen.

	“Husayn and Bill are now part of my squad. However, I'm not satisfied. We got me as the leader and Husayn as my number two. Bill is just the third wheel of the group. Therefore, our final three is set. Still, I think we need to add a few more people to our gang. I think I need a few athletes on my side.”
Leandro

Leandro decides to head to Adanna and Devin and the three have a chat.

Leandro: I know I might come across as chatty and maybe begging, but what are the chances that you two would like to work with us?

Adanna: Us? As in...? Like? Who's us?

Leandro: Oh! Me, Husayn, and Bill.

Devin: I can understand working with you and Husayn, but Bill is a different matter.

Leandro: Listen, he's only with us for the ride. He won't do much of anything. Bottomline is, we need a strong fans' group to take down the favorites. They got some good players over there. Let's work together and run them off.

Devin: I would like to beat the favorites.

Adanna: Me too!

	“With Devin and I on board Leandro's crew, we can easily decide how we would want to play this out. All things considered, I would want to finish this game with a flourish. I already got an alliance set for me, but in hindsight, I need to wait out my options because other chances my come and I might take a chance on a different side. For now, Team Leandro is my alliance.”
Adanna

	“Even though I told Leandro I was interested in working with him, I don't want to make the mistake of accepting a committment from one alliance and risk being exposed. I need to have another game play come into effect. That way, if plan doesn't work, then plan B will.”
Devin

Tekong[]

Heading to the favorites, we get a look at Milton and Winnie as the two decide to see if they gather some food. They collect the coconuts that are nearby and soon make their way back to their campsite. On the way, they start chatting.

Winnie: So, have you seen the pictures of Eugene's new girlfriend?

Milton: Yeah, the kid showed me. Seemed like there was instant attraction there. I just hope he learns how to handle relationships since this is his first big one.

Winnie: Well, I'm happy for him.

Milton: I don't know. You seemed like you were eager to have him over that kiss at the last reunion.

Winnie: Well, that's a lie on your end Milt.

Milton: Whatever you say Win.

	“Milton and I were on the most recent season and both of us were aligned together after a tribal swap. We didn't win our seasons, but when I heard Milton and I were on together, I thought that would be nice. Milton and I actually got closer since the show ended. He's from Delaware and I'm from Virginia. So, we're on the East Coast side of of the country. We've had time to hang out and I think Milton is a really great guy.”
Winnie

Winnie: So, how are you doing with everything that happened last time?

Milton: I'm okay! I mean, it's really tough. Especially seeing that episode when everything went down with Chester. I hate how it got brought up. Plus, that a-hole tweeted how he still is waiting for me.

Winnie: That bastard!

Milton: Yeah! Last I heard, he got beaten up by local thugs, who were in the gay community and told him he needed treatment. He's in some insane asylum now. I've filed restraining orders against him and they have fallen through.

Winnie: I'm so sorry about that.

Milton: Well, it's over for sure.

	“Even though I was able to have a good run last time, I still had nightmares about the whole Chester scenario. I had to get counseling to talk about my issues. I will admit I had a bad semester in college because I was dealing with some personal things regarding that. I also hate how people see me as the kid that had to put up with Chester's tactics. I needed to come back and redeem myself. Now that I'm here, I know redemption is right around the corner for me.”
Milton

Milton: I'm just glad to be back.

Winnie: Me too!

Milton: Might have to lie low for the others before they suspect anything.

Speaking of lying low, that's the lecture Seattle is trying to give to Angelica as we jump over to them on another part of the island.

Angelica: Why do we have to lie low?

Seattle: Because we can't have you playing aggressively. People know about us right now. If we start off on the wrong foot, they'll vote us out.

Angelica: Well, I'm not a waiting girl. I'm a go-getter girl.

Seattle: Baby, I agree with you, but we have to lie low. We need to get on people's good graces.

Angelica: Get on their good graces. You and I don't identify with these people.

Seattle: Will you relax? You're getting all worked up over nothing. Look, let's play this game slightly low at first. Then, when the time is right, which will be soon, we'll rule the game.

Angelica: What if we don't have time?

Seattle: We'll get time.

	“Being on Survivor with your girlfriend can be challenging. Since everyone on my tribe knows about me and Angelica, they already believe we're an alliance together. I probably should not be playing with her, but she's my ride or die and I'm living with that. I have to get her to realize that any actions from the start can lead to chaos and controversy. That's why we need to settle down and let these fools kill each other first. I mean jokingly for sure.”
Seattle

	“I admire Seattle for trying to keep our alliance going, but we can't sit around on our asses and expect things to fall our way. We have to make them happen. It's just the nature of the game. Everyone knows we're the target. Hell, let's make sure we get the target off our back. Let's vote out people one by one. I want to play Seattle. I want to play now.”
Angelica

Angelica: Oh! I'll get on their good graces. Yet, I need the idol.

Seattle: You let me worry about that. Now where is it?

Angelica: It was in some fire pit. I tried the main one, but I had no luck.

Seattle: That's too bad! Maybe there's another pit around here.

Angelica: Yeah, his name is Phil.

The scene cuts to Phil, who is sitting back at camp along with Scott.

Phil: Any idea if Angelica and Seattle are working together?

Scott: It wouldn't surprise me if they were. When those two were up for the show, you knew they weren't coming without the other.

Phil: Have you spoken to them?

Scott: Not out here. Not since the show. Ever since the Rosalyn vote, things have been strained.

Phil: The vote of all votes.

Scott: At least Rosalyn forgave me. She hates them as well.

	“On the favorites' tribe, the first season has the most with five. You have myself, Angelica, and Seattle, who were on the initial Apostol tribe. Phil is from the Mariano tribe and Eva is from the Lacina tribe. We cover half of the tribe. However, that doesn't mean a season one alliance will be forming even though the numbers are in our favor. I don't trust Angelica and Seattle and neither does Phil nor Eva. So, as far as I'm concerned, Angelica and Seattle are my targets and I would want them gone.”
Scott

Scott: I'm still surprised no one from the Spradlin tribe is here.

Phil: Well, Moira was considered, but she had a rodeo competition. Jane decided that her teaching career was more important while Peter is still running his Karate school. Jackson is back to training new recruits for the army.

Scott: Yeah! I also wonder if Houston will come back for a second season.

Phil: I doubt it! Quinn told me that he's enjoying life back in Texas with Brooklyn. He doesn't want to be known as just a Survivor player.

Scott: A tag you and I might not get over anytime soon. Everything with Quinn going good?

Phil: Yeah! I know being here and having her at home with a child on the way is tough, but at least I know she's in good hands.

	“If my tribe decides to vote me out because they feel I need to be back home supporting Quinn, that's fine with me. At the same time, I'm here to win and make life easier. I thought I was playing a good game last time, Unfortunately, that wasn't the case as I got blindsided by one vote on the same night I played my idol nullifier. This time, I'm going in with a cautious approach. I won't be aggressive, but I won't fall back as well. I have to see which options work best for me before I take charge of my own fate out here.”
Phil

Day 3[]

Reward/Immunity Challenge[]

Jeff calls in both tribes to the scene of their first immunity challenge. He then asks if both tribes have been able to make fire. The favorites' tribe has while the fans have not. Jeff says that this will make the challenge interesting because this is for both immunity and reward.

Jeff then describes the challenge. Each tribe will race through a rope obstacle course. One person will then climb to the top of the rope to ring the bell. The tribe must then climb a rope ladder to reach the platform, where one member will then cross a three-tier balance beam. Once across the beam, they must untie knots to make the balance beam wider for the rest of the tribe to cross. One person must then climb to the top of a crow's nest to release a slide. Once down the slide, six members will then solve a giant puzzle. The first tribe to solve a puzzle wins immunity.

Jeff unveils a tarp to reveal a statue of the lion. In addition, the winning tribe will also get flint.

Once the tribes get set, the challenge begins. Right away, both tribes race out into the course. However, the fans get an early lead as Leandro and Husayn take control for their tribe. The favorites struggle with Angelica struggling to get through the rope. She has to be helped by Madison. Husayn climbs to the top of the rope to ring the bell and the fans' proceed to climb the rope ladder. Once on top, it's Devin who crosses the balance beam and he reaches to the knots and unties them.

The favorites reach the rope with the bell and Winnie climbs up to reach the top and ring it. Then, they go to the ladder and climb up. Scott is then called to cross the beam, which he has no trouble with. The fans still have the lead as they get to the nest. That's when Leandro climbs to the top and is able to release the slide. Soon, the fans are down the slide and all the women plus Charles head to the puzzle.

At first, they get off to a good start, but there seems to be some miscommunication between Florra and Kati. The directions of the two aren't helping their situation as they struggle to move the pieces around. The favorites get closer as Cleveland climbs to the nest and releases the slide. Soon, they're in the game and Ann, Eva, Madison, Milton, Phil and Winnie head to the puzzle to start working on it.

With Milton leading the way, the favorites come back and get closer to the fans, who still have struggles with Florra and Kati. The favorites overtake the fans and before long, they have solved the puzzle.

FAVORITES WIN IMMUNITY!

As the favorites celebrate, the fans are in defeated mode. They are saddened to see the favorites take the lion statue and soon, they realize their first trip to Tribal Council is coming sooner than expected.

Kusu[]

Down, beaten, and defeated, the fans return to their camp with a lesson in Survivor 101. They lost their first challenge and are now heading to Tribal Council. As they arrive, they talk about what went wrong.

Husayn: My honest opinion was the puzzle was bad.

Adanna: I agree! We had a miscommunication.

Kati: It was Florra and I who disagreed on the puzzle pieces.

Florra: I had the right pieces, but you were obviously not paying attention.

Kati: Why didn't you tell me?

Florra: I did! I tried to get to you, but you weren't listening.

	“Kati couldn't listen. She didn't understand what I was trying to tell her. I said to her I had the pieces right here. She just ignored me. She wouldn't even hear me out. When she did, she just snapped back and told me to back off and let her work. I knew I had the pieces while she didn't. We lost because she wanted to do it her way. That's not good.”
Florra

Kati: Well, I'm sorry! I wish you would've done something.

Florra: I tried to get to you. I said I had the correct pieces right here. You tried to force the pieces on them.

Charles: We all did!

	“The challenge came down to the puzzle and despite everything, Kati and Florra had some conflict. That was the reason we lost. Because of that, we're going to Tribal Council and there are a lot of nerves going into tonight.”
Charles

Devin: Well, if it's someone of the puzzle, don't take it the wrong way.

Adanna: It could be you Dev.

Devin: Yeah, it could be me. We're all in trouble.

Bill: The sooner we find out what needs to be done, the better.

Groups separate and Kati and Charles go off to discuss.

Kati: I really don't think I could last another day with Florra.

Charles: You were already doing fine with her. You had no trouble. This is a one day thing.

Kati: If she wants to blame me for what happened, then she can kiss my ass for all I care. My girlfriend does.

Charles: Okay! I'm going to pretend I didn't hear that part.

Kati: Look, we need to maybe vote her out of the game at this point.

	“Today showed me that Florra couldn't be trusted. She basically tried to ruin my concentration and I can't stand that woman right now. I wanted to try to solve the puzzle. Maybe she did have the pieces, but she didn't have to make my lose focus. If Florra survives, I'll see to it that we can maybe get on the same page for next time. Right now, she's my target.”
Kati

Kati: So, if you and me vote for her. We need four votes. I don't know who to get them from.

Charles: Why not get the other girls to vote with her?

Kati: That could work. Yet, I'm not convinced by the whole deal.

Not far from the two, Bill is listening in and comes up with a plan.

	“I see Kati and Charles and immediately, I start thinking of an idea. Kati wants Florra gone and she and Charles are seeking four votes. What if I could pretend to be one of the votes and then flip the script on them to send Kati home? After all, I do side with Florra on this argument. Kati is acting like a Karen and I hate Karens. They suck! They are so spoiled and everytime I watch those videos, they make me want to puke.”
Bill

Bill approaches Kati and Charles. He brings up their conversation and figures he would be in on the vote. He also says that he can get both Husayn and Leandro since they are working together. Charles seems pleased by this news while Kati looks suspicious.

Kati: Are you sure they can side with us?

Bill: Why not? I am part of their crew. So they trust me for sure.

Kati: It would seem crazy how you would be working with them while they are two athletic members.

Bill: Looks aren't everything you know.

	“I'm not sure if I completely trust Bill. He just came out of nowhere and said that he has Husayn and Leandro in his pocket. I don't think Bill is the type of guy to take control of an alliance. This seems like he's coming at me with some ideas and wants to make it his own. I can't be sure if I'm ready to say Bill is on my agenda to align with.”
Kati

Charles: Who cares Kati? This is great! We got three votes. Now, let's see. Ten votes. So us two plus Bill, Husayn, and Leandro is five. That's half. So we need one more.

Bill: As a matter of fact, I think Adanna might want to side with us.

Kati: Adanna?

Bill: She was on the puzzle too and from what I saw, she was getting frustrated about Florra as well.

Charles: Sweet! We get Adanna and it's a 6-4 situation. Maybe more if others want to join.

Kati: Well, okay!

Bill: Great!

	“Now that I got Kati to side with me, the plan is set for Florra. What she doesn't know is that I have a plan set for her departure tonight. Boy, am I a genius or what. I mean this is fantastic. I'm playing this game so strongly. I'm playing a great game now. I'm cool! Does that make me a favorite?”
Bill

When Bill goes to explain his plan to Husayn and Leandro, they react with some uncertainty.

Leandro: Dude, why would you tell them you're working with us?

Bill: Because, I wanted Kati to think she has votes to send Florra home.

Husayn: You also put us in jeopardy.

Bill: Relax, she won't be voting for y'all. She'll have two votes for Florra while we all target her and go home. It's a synch.

	“It's a synch? Dude, you just ratted out our alliance and already, we are going to Tribal. This is not a good move for us. We can't just let it be known we're working together. That's not how you play Survivor. It's not cool and all that. Bill might've put us in early jeopardy.”
Leandro

Leandro: That's not a good move dude.

Bill: Well, we need to get rid of Kati. She's already targeting Florra tonight.

Husayn: It might be a setup then. She could be targeting us and that would be a huge mistake.

Bill: Guys, just trust me. This whole plan will work out.

Unbeknownst to Bill, Carla overhears this and decides to go talk to Kati.

	“I hear Bill talking about a plan to vote out Kati when Kati had a plan to vote out Florra. At first, I was confused because I didn't think Florra was the main reason we lost the challenge today even though she contributed to it. Once I realized the meaning, I completely put aside whatever plan I had to vote Kati out and shift my attention to Bill. He is going about this all wrong and Kati needs to know.”
Carla

Carla: So, did you tell Bill about a plan to vote out Florra?

Kati: No! What? Who told you that?

Carla: Well, what was the plan?

Kati: I didn't tell Bill about it. He came to me and said he would want me to join up and vote Florra. Why do you ask?

Carla: I just overheard Bill talking and he's got your name written down.

Kati: Was he talking to Husayn and Leandro?

Carla: Yes?

Kati: So those three are together?

Carla: Well, the other two weren't very interested in what Bill had to pitch in.

Kati: It doesn't matter what they say. I have to get Bill out now.

	“Of course Bill wanted to use me to vote me out. He thought that by getting me to have him on my plan to vote out Florra that he would leave me vulnerable. Well, I maybe gay, but I can play a straight game bitch. So Bill, your magic skills aren't worth it. I'm going to make sure you puff away in dust (blows imaginary air with her hand.)”
Kati

Kati: Thanks for telling me.

Carla: No problem!

Kati goes to Charles and explains the situation while Carla approaches Florra.

Carla: Do you trust me?

Florra: It depends on what you mean by that?

Carla: I overheard Bill talking and he told Kati he was gunning for you. In actuality, he's gunning for her.

Florra: So I'm not the target?

Carla: That's the impression I got.

Florra: That's insane! What does Kati think?

Carla: She wants him out. She's already going to spread the plan.

	“Maybe I'm wrong for thinking I was about to get votes, but I might be thinking I could last another thirty-three days. So, in essence, I might be the first one to get votes that doesn't leave the game. I hope that's the case because if it is, then what the hell was I thinking? I don't know if all this about Kati and Bill is true. I don't know for sure. I just hope I can make it further than either of them. I don't know how tribal will play out. We shall see.”
Florra

Pretty soon, others are informed of what's going on and before long, the sun starts to set. All of the fans head to Tribal Council.

Kusu Tribal Council[]

The fans arrive to Tribal Council where Jeff waits for them. He then tells them to grab a torch and light it in the fire for their game is defined by fire and when it's out, their game is over. All the fans have their fire lit and soon, Jeff gets the session started.

Jeff: Well, you've seen Tribal Council on TV. Now, you're here. Kelsey, is there a contrast between Tribal Council from what you see at home and being at the game?

Kelsey: Well, each Tribal Council is different pending the location. Yet, regardless of what changes are made, it's still Tribal Council. We sit here having a discussion with you. Then, we go vote and we decide who we want to leave and go on from there. This is why Survivor rocks, Jeff.

Jeff: How long have you been watching the show?

Kelsey: A few seasons, Jeff.

Jeff: I suppose you were binge-watching and acting like you were quarantined to catch up.

Some members laugh.

Kelsey: I tried to catch up, but I'm still behind.

Jeff: Anyone have favorite memories on this show so maybe we can see where Kelsey missed out on?

Devin: I usually love idol misplays or not playing idols at all.

Florra: I enjoyed blindsides. Knock on wood, I hope if I were to be voted out, it would be because of a fair result.

Bill: That might happen tonight.

Everyone seems stunned by Bill's comment.

Jeff: Bill, what makes you think Florra might be voted out tonight.

Bill: Obviously, we had miscommunications between Florra and Kati. Those two were not on the right page and it led to a tussle at the end.

Kati: A tussle? We weren;t exchanging blows.

Bill: Not with fists, but with words.

Kati: Right, like I called her a venomous fool who can't even learn to be patient.

Florra: Again, if I had been patient, we still would've lost because I had the right pieces with me. We had them, but you didn't want to listen.

Kati: Well, that's in the past.

Florra: It happened hours ago. How can you be so ignorant of me?

Kati: I don't want to cause any trouble.

Jeff: Leandro, was this the first time y'all had conflict amongst each other.

Leandro: I wouldn't call it a conflict, Jeff. I think as fans, we get along okay. Today, we just had a bad result and it's leading to fights.

Kati: The only fight is between me and Florra. No one else is arguining or complaining. In fact, I can question one other person right now.

Jeff: Who's that?

Kati: Bill?

Bill: What do you want with me?

Kati: For starters, why were you giving me confidence that Florra would be going home when I heard you had a thing out for me?

Bill: Well, I...

Kati: I mean, you heard that I wanted Florra out and I will admit that was true Florra. However, you told your guys you wanted me gone instead.

Bill: But, I...

Kati: It's almost like you want to take credit away from me and make me look foolish.

Bill: But, I...

Kati: Seriously Bill, why go to that lengths.

Bill: Will you hush up and let me talk?

Kati: Oh no! I'm not letting you tak if you're going to tell me to hush up. I have a right you know.

Bill: Stop acting entitled, Karen.

Kati: That's not my name.

Bill: You're acting like one right now.

Kati: No, I'm not.

Bill: You are too.

(Leandro and Husayn whisper to each other).

Kati: I just think you're playing a bad game and you need to quit it before you're out.

Bill: I think I'm playing a great game. I can't wait to be the end.

Devin: Is there a battery remover inside you, man?

Bill: What did you just say Kevin?

Devin: Can't even say my name right.

Things quiet up until Jeff decides enough is enough. He says it's time to vote and calls for Carla to go first. Carla walks to the voting booth and rights her name down. Devin, Charles, and Husayn vote. Kati takes her turn and she votes for Bill.

	“Congrats on being the worst player in Survivor history.”
Kati

Adanna, Florra, and Leandro cast their vote before Bill goes up and votes for Kati.

	“F*** you Karen”
Bill

Kelsey is the last to vote and she has her pick down before she returns to her seat. Jeff goes to tally the votes. When he returns with the urn, he asks for idols. No one has them and Jeff opens the urn and gets the first vote.

First vote: Bill (1)

Kati (1-1)

Kati nods knowing she would get a vote.

Bill (2-1)

Bill (3-1)

Bill (4-1)

The more votes Bill gets, the angrier his eyes get.

Bill (5-1)

First person voted out of Survivor: Singapore - BILL

Bill gets up and goes to grab his torch. But as he does so, he stops.

Bill: Jeff, hold on. The reason I didn't play my idol was because I have it with me and it's for after the votes are read. So, I will play it and Kati will go home.

Some of the castaways are confused while Husayn and Leandro laugh. Kati flips him the bird.

Jeff: Bill... grab your torch.

Bill tries to pretend like he has the idol, but we know the truth. With no other choice, Bill grabs his torch and soon meets Jeff.

Jeff: Bill, you're tribe has spoken. (snuffs torch) Time for you to go.

Bill walks off into the night. Jeff then tells the others that while Bill maybe the first person voted out of the game, there are twists and turns that will affect the fans that when they return home to see it, they won't be as surprised as they will be on this island. He tells them to grab their torches and wishes them a good night. Soon, the Kusu tribe returns back to camp.

Pathway to Edge of Exctinction[]

Bill walks along the pathway. As he approaches a crossroads, he sees a sign.

Bill: (reading) You might have been voted out, but there's still a chance you can get back in. If you want to stop playing, go left. To take the chance to return to the game, please grab the torch on the right and head that way.

Without hesitation, Bill takes the torch and heads to Edge of Extinction.
