Jeff: “Previously on Survivor! Although Kadavu unanimously voted out Darrius, they were not one big happy family, alliances started to crumble soon after, and Melinda found a hidden immunity idol scared she could be the next target. At Viti, alliances started to form, and Bob was on the outs. At the challenge Viti won for a second time, sending Kadavu back to tribal council. Back at Kadavu: Melinda, Adam, and Carolina were targeting John and Kool, while John and Kool were targeting Carolina, leaving Ryan and X in the middle. At tribal council Ryan and X decided to send home John, their biggest physical asset. 14 are left, who will be voted out tonight?!
Kadavu Tribe
Night 6
Kool: “Good job guys.”
Ryan: “Sorry man.”
Kool: “Nah it’s cool… you gotta do what you gotta go.”
Kool (confessional): “Coming back from tribal I feel a bit betrayed by Ryan and X, ya know they both gave their words and they stabbed me in the back. I just hope we can win this next challenge or have a swap, I need a miracle from the Survivor Gods.”
X: “Kool if you wanna talk we can-”
Kool: “Nah man I’m fine. I don’t need to talk.”
X (confessional): “Kool definitely feels a little betrayed by me and Ryan and I can’t really blame him. I have some damage control to do.”
Viti Tribe
Day 7
*Nathan is seen walking in the woods*
Nathan: “Where are you?”
Nathan (confessional): “I have been searching this island up and down for the hidden immunity idol and I can’t find it. Having an idol gives you power and a sense of security in the game, and that’s not just something I want, it’s what I need.”
*Nathan continues to pull back branches and search under rocks*
Nathan: “What is that?”
*Nathan sees a light blue string wrapped around a branch*
Nathan: “Holy f*ck.”
*Nathan pulls the string out to reveal the idol*
Nathan (whispering): “Oh my god yes! Yes! Congratulations you have found the hidden immunity idol. Oh my god this is crazy. I need to hide this, I can’t let anybody else know I have it.”
Nathan (confessional): “I just found this bad boy” *holds up idol* “I am so happy that I finally found the idol, now I know where the power lies in my tribe and I can make a big move if I have to.”
*The camera then cuts to Dyl and Eddie talking at camp*
Dyl: “Being out here is crazy, it’s like the rest of the world has stopped and we’re just here battling for a million dollars.”
Dyl (confessional): “Being out here has made me realize how much I have outside of this game” *starts tearing up* I’m out here for my family, they have always been my biggest supporters in life” *starts crying* “and my family didn’t grow up with a lot of money, I didn’t know if I was going to eat some nights, and being able to help out my parents would mean the world to me. I have to win.”
Eddie: “I know man.”
Eddie (confessional): “Our tribe won the first two immunity challenges and hasn’t had the chance to go to tribal, and I want to start that part of the game, I want to backstab, I want to lie, I want to play. I came here to play.”
Tribe Swap
Day 7
Jeff: “Come on in guys!”
*Viti walks in, followed by Kadavu*
Jeff: “Viti tribe getting your first look at the new Kadavu tribe, John voted out at the last tribal council.”
*Viti looks shocked”
Brendon: “Wow.”
Jeff: “Alright. Dan, do you feel like your tribe has bonded into a family in the past week?”
Dan: “We’ve grown a lot closer with each other and I have love and respect for everyone on this tribe.”
Jeff: “Kool, does the same ring true for Kadavu?”
Kool: “I wouldn’t say so Jeff.” *laughs*
Jeff: “Well, one tribe feels connected, and the other… not so much. Seems like a perfect time to switch things up. Everybody, drop your buffs. We are switching tribes.”
Jason: “Whaaaat.”
Jeff: “We will have two new tribes of seven. Everybody take a buff and do not unwrap it until I say so.”
*Everybody picks their new buff*
Jeff: “Alright. Everybody reveal their new tribe.”
*Everybody starts to unwrap their buff*
*Melinda and Adam both show red*
Melinda: “I have red.”
Adam: “So do I.”
*Bob shows blue*
Bob: “I’m staying here.”
Dan: “I have blue too.”
Jeff: “Alright, everybody move to their new tribes.”
*Everybody moves to their new tribe*
Jeff: “On Viti we have four original Viti members in Jason, Bob, Dan, and Brendon, and three origiinal Kadavu members in Ryan, Carolina, and Kool.”
*Dan looks pleased*
Jeff: “On Kadavu we also have four original Viti members in Nathan, Admir, Eddie, and Dyl, and three original Kadavu’s… Adam, Melinda, and X.”
*Eddie smiles*
Jeff: “So at first glance, Viti has a four-three advantage on both tribes, putting you in the minority Melinda.”
Melinda: “Yeah you know we might have a long road ahead of us but our tribe looks pretty strong and I think we’ll crush it in the challenges.”
Jeff: “Alright, head back to camp and get to know your new tribemates, good luck.”
Adam (confessional): “Melinda, X, and myself went from being at the top of our tribe to being in the minority. We have some work to do to find cracks.”
Kadavu Tribe
Day 7
Melinda: “This is our humble abode.”
Nathan: “I’m Nathan, nice to meet you!”
*The tribe introduces themselves to one another*
Eddie (confessional): “We have the majority on our side and I couldn't be happier. Even if we do lose a challenge we’re all safe.”
*The four original Viti members are shown talking in the woods*
Eddie: “We’re solid guys.”
Dyl: “This could not have turned out better for us.”
Eddie: “We just need to stay four strong and if we do lose a challenge we get our pick of who goes home. Simple and easy.”
*The camera cuts to Adam, Melinda, and X talking in the water*
Adam: “What are we going to do….”
X: “Find a crack. It’s all we can do.”
Adam: “Those four guys seem pretty type.”
Melinda: “Yeah well there has to be a crack in that four, we can find it.”
Melinda (confessional): “This tribe swap did not go in Kadavu’s favor, we’re in the minority on both tribes. Luckily me, Adam, and X all drew the same color buff, I trust the both of them a lot.”
Viti Tribe
Day 7
*The castaways get back from the tribe swap*
Jason: “Welcome home guys.”
Ryan: “This camp is insane, way better than what we had.”
Ryan (confessional): “So we get back to the Viti beach, and their camp is so much better than ours, they have makeshift chairs, fishing gear, a big fire going. No wonder they dominated in the challenges. However, I got swapped into the minority with Carolina and Kool, both of whom aren’t very friendly with one another, this tribe will have an interesting dynamic for sure” *laughs*
*The camera shows Kool talking with the original Viti members*
Kool: “I just want to let you guys know that I don’t trust either of them and we didn’t come here as a solid three.”
Brendon: “Good to know.” *smiles*
Brendon (confessional): “So Kool informs the Viti four that he isn’t tight with Carolina or Ryan, and that’s music to my ears, the longer we can keep original Viti’s in the game the better.”
Bob: “So if we were to lose you wouldn’t hesitate in voting either of them out?”
Kool: “Not at all. I voted for Carolina at the last tribal actually.” *laughs*
Dan (confessional): “The Kadavu tribe seems to be in a bit of a mess, they don’t trust each other and will likely target each other given the chance. What he doesn’t know is there are some cracks in Viti too, and that crack is named Bob.”
*Carolina and Ryan are talking*
Carolina: “This isn’t good Ryan. Kool is already making buddy buddy with the original Viti tribe.”
Ryan: “I know. We just gotta win the next challenge so we have more time to build bonds, and so he” *camera shows Kool* “has more time to show them how big of a threat he really is.”
Ryan (confessional): “As soon as we get to our new beach Kool is already off strategizing with Jason, Bob, Dan, and Brendon. If we end up going to tribal I may have to throw Carolina under the bus to save my own ass.”
Carolina: “I’ve talked to Dan some and he, Jason, and Brendon don’t like Bob all that much.”
Ryan: “Do you think they would flip?”
Carolina: “I don’t know, but hope is all I have right now.”
Carolina (confessional): “This tribe swap is the worst possible scenario for me. I’m in the minority already with four Viti’s, and I’m on the same tribe as Kool, who has written my name down before. This is too much to handle.” *tears up*
*Ryan is shown talking with Dan and Jason*
Dan: “Are you three on the same page Ryan?”
Ryan: “Uhh, no. Kool and Carolina have a known fued back at Kadavu, they’ve been targeting each other for a while.”
Jason: “Who do you trust more?”
Ryan: “I don’t really trust either of them, if I’m being honest, but Carolina and I voted the same way at tribal last night, but I mean I wouldn’t mind writing either of their names down. How are you guys with Bob and Brendon?”
Jason: “Brendon is super chill and upfront, but I haven’t talked much game with him. Bob, on the other hand, can be a little overbearing at times.”
Ryan: “Oh really.”
Jason: “Yeah he gets upset when things don’t go his way, and to be honest that makes me a little scared moving forward with him as an ally.”
Ryan (confessional): “I’m beginning to see cracks!” *smiles* “This is exactly what I’d been hoping for. Dan and Jason don’t trust Bob, and Carolina and myself don’t trust Kool, I’m thinking this could be the start of a strong four person alliance.”
*Carolina walks up to the group*
Ryan: “Hey girl.”
Carolina: “What are we talking about?”
Ryan: “Bob and Kool, who seem to be the two biggest characters on the island.”
Carolina: “I get really good vibes from the both of you and would be so down for us four to work together.”
Dan (confessional): “I’m happy I just swapped onto a tribe with Carolina, I thought she was a cutie pie from the first time I saw her, and I’m crushing a little bit, not gonna lie.” *smiles* “She does seem like someone I would want to work with.”
Dan: “I would be on board with this four right here.”
*Carolina smiles*
Carolina (confessional): “Dan and Jason are the two original Viti members who I really want to work with. I don’t trust Kool, and it seems that Dan and Jason aren’t super tight with Bob or Brendon, so I think me and Ryan might’ve found our new group.”
Kadavu Tribe
Day 8
*The camera shows Adam and Nathan talking in the boat*
Adam: “How connected are you with the other guys?”
Nathan: “I feel pretty solid in our four, but ya know we haven’t been able to go to tribal to truly show where everybody’s trust lies so I’m not entirely sure.”
Nathan (confessional): “Not going to tribal so far has been great, mainly because I can continue to play the field to see who I really want to work with, once you’re at tribal and somebody’s torch gets snuffed, the line is drawn.”
Adam: “Well I’m pretty tight with Melinda and X, and it seems like those three really get alone.” *the camera shows Eddie, Admir, and Dyl laughing at camp*
Nathan: “Yeah those three are pretty solid in their alliance.”
Nathan (confessional): “Admir, Eddie, and Dyl are best friends out here, it’s rare that you seem them not talking to one another, and that’s dangerous. I feel like I’m on the bottom of the totem pole when it comes to them.”
Adam: “Would you ever entertain the thought of possibly voting one of them out?”
Nathan: “I mean honestly I haven’t thought much about it, we haven’t had the chance to go to tribal to see where everybody stands.”
Adam (confessional): “Right now I’m trying to woo Nathan into the alliance of Melinda, X, and myself. Nathan seems to be our only hope in all of us staying intact.”
Adam: “Well I can guarantee you that with us, we are four strong.”
Nathan: “Yeah…”
Nathan (confessional): “Adam is very charming, which makes him a dangerous player, but Admir, Eddie, and Dyl are super tight with each other and would probably throw my name under the bus if it came down to it. If we lose tomorrow’s challenge I may be in the driver's seat with the vote.”
Immunity Challenge
Day 9
Jeff: “Come on in guys!”
*Both tribes walk in*
Jeff: “Are you guys ready to get to your first immunity challenge as new tribes?”
*Everybody cheers*
Jeff: “First things first, gotta take back the idol.” *Dan hands Jeff the idol* “Thank you. For today’s challenge you are going to swim down to untie a cage containing four bags of puzzle pieces, you will then swim back and have two people complete the puzzle. You are also playing for reward, wanna know what you’re playing for?”
*Everybody cheers loudly*
Jeff: *reveals food* “Peanut butter and jelly, and milk to go along with it. Worth playing for.”
*Everybody screams yes*
Jeff: “Alright, I’ll give you a minute to strategize, we’ll get started.”
*All the castaways take their place out in the water*
Jeff: “Ready? Go!”
*The castaways go underwater and begin untying the knots to release the gate*
*Dan comes back up for air*
Jeff: “Dan coming back up for air! There are a lot of knots to untie.”
*Viti releases their gate at the same time as Kadavu*
Jeff: “Both tribes release their gate at the same time! You now have to work together to get your bags back to the beach.”
*Viti takes a slight lead in getting back*
Jeff: “Viti gonna get back to the beach first! You can start on the puzzle!”
*Kadavu makes their way back*
Jeff: “Kadavu is right behind them! It is Bob and Kool on the puzzle for Viti, and Adam and Nathan for Kadavu.”
*Viti quickly places their first few pieces*
Jeff: “Bob seems to have this puzzle figured out!”
*Kadavu places their first piece*
Jeff: “Nathan places the first piece for Kadavu.”
*Both tribes work quickly on their puzzle*
Jeff: “Right now it is Viti with eleven pieces left, and Kadavu with thirteen pieces left.”
*Viti places more pieces, Kadavu struggles*
Jeff: “Viti is picking up the pace!”
*Adam tries to fit more pieces in*
Jeff: “Adam and Nathan are struggling to get their pieces in the right place!”
*Viti places their final piece*
Jeff: “Viti wins immunity! Sending Kadavu to tribal council!”
*The camera cuts to the castaways on their mats*
Jeff: “Viti congratulations, safe from tribal council, your food will be waiting for you back at camp, enjoy the night off.”
*Viti leaves*
Jeff: “X, this is your third tribal council, how does it feel?”
X: “Degrading. We’re not winning the rewards so we’re barely eating and we’re about to go back to tribal, it sucks.”
Jeff: “Alright well I’ll see you guys tonight, head back to camp, good luck.”
Adam (confessional): “The rest of today is going to be all about Nathan and trying to get him to vote with us, so me, Melinda, and X can survive another day.”
Kadavu Tribe
Day 9
Adam: “Yet another tribal council. Sorry guys.”
Eddie: “You guys did fine.”
Eddie (confessional): “We lost the immunity challenge, but I’m not too upset about it, tonight one of them” *camera shows Adam, Melinda, and X* “will be going home.”
*Eddie, Admir, Dyl, and Nathan are talking at camp*
Dyl: “What are you guys thinking?”
Eddie: “I’m thinking either Adam or Melinda, neither of them are that great in challenges, but I don’t really think it matters as long as we stick together.”
Nathan: “I’d be more comfortable voting out Melinda, she doesn’t seem to do much of anything around camp and she seems to be the most socially involved.”
Nathan (confessional): “Right now the plan is for the four original Viti members to vote out Melinda, who doesn’t really perform well in challenges, and is generally lazy around camp. I’ve built a bond with Adam, however, that is more genuine than my relationship with Admir, Eddie, and Dyl, and voting out Melinda would end my connection with Adam.”
*Melinda, Adam, X, and Nathan are talking in the water*
Melinda: “Is it me tonight?”
Nathan: “I don’t think so. What are you guys thinking?”
Adam: “If you had your pick tonight Nathan who would it be?”
*Nathan thinks for a minute*
Nathan: “I’d probably say Eddie, he’s the one controlling Admir and Dyl.”
Adam: “I would definitely be on board with that. I can promise you guys final four right now, I trust the three of you completely.”
Melinda (confessional): “Tonight I’m in the minority. Four Viti’s against three Kadavu’s. I have my hidden immunity idol, and I’ll pull it out if I feel I’m in danger, but I’d really like to have it for later down the road.”
Adam: “Is Eddie what we’re doing?”
Nathan (confessional): “Tonight I’m in control of who goes home, I can stick with original Viti and vote out Melinda, or I can flip and vote out the ringleader, Eddie. I really don’t know what I’m going to do tonight.”
Tribal Council
Night 9
Jeff: “Nathan, Eddie, Admir, Dyl, grab a torch, dip it in, and get fire. Fire represents your life in this game. When your fire is gone, so are you.”
*The castaways put their torches up and sit down*
Jeff: “So the obvious distinction is that there are four original Viti members, and three Kadavu, is it really that simple Eddie?”
Eddie: “Uh yeah, I think it is. We came to this tribe Viti strong and I think that’ll be reflected in tonight’s vote.”
Jeff: “If that’s the case Melinda, you, Adam, and X should be very worried.”
Melinda: “Yeah I mean they are a very tight four, but I’ve built relationships with them and not everything is as easy as it seems.”
Dyl: “Jeff I’ve built a relationship with everybody out here, but when it’s time to get your hands dirty and it’s time to make a decision you have to look at who you’ve been aligned with since the beginning and who you feel like you can trust.”
Jeff: “Eddie, that sounds great, as long as the four Viti members trust each other.”
Eddie: “Yeah Jeff ya know there’s always that seed of doubt in your mind that somebody you’re working with might not trust you as much as you thought, but I think the vote tonight is gonna show that we are four strong.”
Jeff: “Nathan, is it true that everybody has made connections with everybody outside of tribal lines?”
Nathan: “Yeah, I’ve built fairly strong connections with Adam, Melinda, and X and I don’t want to vote anyone out tonight, but it’s the game and unfortunately that’s what we have to do.”
Jeff: “Just out of curiosity, raise your hand if you’re confident you’ll be walking back to camp tonight.”
*Eddie, Admir, and Dyl raise their hands*
Eddie: “I’m gonna be honest Jeff, blindsides do happen in Survivor, and they happen a lot, but I feel pretty solid where I’m standing with this tribe right now.”
Jeff: “Alright, on that note it is time to vote, Eddie, you’re up.”
*Admir is shown writing Melinda’s name down*
*Melinda is shown writing Eddie’s name down*
Melinda: “I hope tonight is a reality check for you.”
*All the castaways vote*
Jeff: “I’ll go tally the votes.”
*Jeff returns with the urn*
Jeff: “If anybody has a hidden immunity idol and you’d like to play it, now would be the time to do so.”
*Eddie looks around*
*Nathan looks at Melinda and Eddie*
*Melinda looks at her bag*
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
*nobody stands*
Jeff: “Alright, I’ll read the votes.”
“First vote…. Melinda”
“Eddie. That’s one vote Melinda, one vote Eddie.”
“Eddie, that’s two votes Eddie.”
“Eddie. That’s three votes Eddie, one vote Melinda.”
.
.
.
.
“Melinda. That’s two votes Melinda.”
“Melinda, we’re tied, three votes Eddie, three votes Melinda, one vote left.”
Jeff: “Third person voted out…
.
.
.
.
.
.
Eddie, you need to bring me your torch.”
*Eddie, Admir, and Dyl look at Jeff in disbelief*
Eddie: “What happened?”
Jeff: “Eddie, the tribe has spoken.” *snuffs torch* “Time for you to go.”
*Eddie leaves*
Jeff: “Well tonight the most confident person just got blindsided, if that doesn’t show you how fast this game moves, I don’t know what will. Head back to camp, goodnight.”
Votes
-------
Nathan…. Eddie
Admir…. Melinda
Eddie….. Melinda
Dyl….. Melinda
Adam…. Eddie
Melinda…. Eddie
X…. Eddie
Jeff: “Previously on Survivor! 16 castaways started the adventure of a lifetime and were split into two tribes of 8, Viti wearing blue, and Kadavu wearing red! At the Viti tribe, Bob was getting under everybody’s skin, while Dan was seen as over strategizing. At the Kadavu tribe, Darrius was outed immediately while searching for the hidden immunity idol, and targets started to form. At the first challenge, Viti won immunity, sending Kadavu to tribal council. Back at camp, a majority alliance formed as Kool worked to get out his number one target, Darrius. All went awry when Carolina flipped and started targeting Kool, but it wasn’t enough to stop Darrius from becoming the first person voted out. 15 are left, who will be voted out tonight?!
Kadavu Tribe
Night 3
Kool: “Good job guys. First vote of the season is unanimous.”
X (confessional): “We just sent Darrius home and I’m hoping that the vote lightens the mood around camp and helps ease the paranoia of idols.”
Melinda: “You heard Jeff, united but not one big family.”
Melinda (confessional): “Darrius went home unanimously last night, but seeing my name made me a little worried, there was clearly a plan to take me out, it just failed. I need to start searching for the idol or I could be the next to go.”
Viti Tribe
Day 4
*The camera shows Brendon, Eddie, Admir, and Dyl talking at camp*
Eddie: “What are your guys’ thoughts on alliances and such?”
Dyl: “I really haven’t talked much strategy with anyone, guess that comes with winning challenges.”
Admir: “The two names I constantly hear are Bob and Dan.”
Eddie: “Who’s throwing Dan’s name out?”
Dyl: “I know Bob wants Dan gone. He can’t stand him. Didn’t you hear his freak out the other day when I told Bob that Dan was throwing his name around?”
Eddie (confessional): “I’m not sure why Dan’s name is being thrown around, he’s one of our strongest competitors and secured the win at the last challenge. These people are playing stupid.”
Eddie: “If we were to go to tribal, I think we can get seven votes on Bob. He’s a mess, and camp life would be so much more delightful if he wasn’t around.”
Admir (confessional): “Everyone on the tribe has a collective hate for Bob, and I get it, he’s rude, arrogant, and all around a nasty guy, but he isn’t a threat, nobody is giving Bob the million dollars at the end, and he’ll always be a bigger target than me.”
Admir: “I think that Bob will always be a bigger target than the four of us, so I think that we have to push our personal opinions aside, as hard as that might be, and look at from a strategic standpoint.”
Eddie: “Would you rather see Dan go home?”
Admir: “I don’t think voting Dan out is the right move necessarily, I think we have to look at the more low-key players, Nathan and Jason are on everybody’s good side and have the potential to go deep into the game.”
Eddie (confessional): “Admir does have a good point about Bob being a shield for myself and my alliance members, I just hope we continue to win in the challenges so we don’t have to worry about it too much.”
*The camera cuts to Nathan, Jason, and Dan talking in the water and Bob approaches them*
Dan: “Hey what’s up Bob?”
Bob: “I want to apologize for my actions earlier. It was insensitive of me. I got a little freaked out when I heard my name being thrown around.”
Dan: “Nah man you’re cool, don’t worry about it.”
Dan (confessional): “Bob apologizing doesn’t really mean much to me, I know he’s just doing damage control because he knows if we lose the next challenge he’s number one on the chopping block, so I take just about anything he says with a grain of salt.”
Jason: “How do you guys feel about the other four guys?”
Dan: “They’re all over each other. I see them talking all the time and I can’t help but worry.”
*The camera pans to Admir, Eddie, Dyl, and Brendon laughing with each other*
Nathan: “I think Eddie is playing really hard to get on everyone’s good side right now. He’s dangerous.”
Bob (confessional): “I know I’m the black sheep of this tribe, and I like it. Being the number one target looks great at the end. I’m working hard to build relationships and I’ve cemented myself into an alliance with Nathan, Jason, and Dan, four guys who I think are willing to work with me now and hopefully down the line.”
Kadavu Tribe
Day 4
*The camera shows Adam and Melinda talking while walking to the water well*
Adam: “Last night’s vote was pretty satisfying, I was kind of surprised to see your name written down.”
Melinda: “Yeah, it made me kind of nervous, clearly there was a plan to take me out that I knew nothing about.”
Adam: “Well I trust you and if I hear your name from anyone I will come straight to you.”
Melinda (confessional): “I feel like in Survivor you need your right hand man, and my right hand man is Adam, he’s honest and I know I can trust him.”
Melinda: “I feel like I want to start looking for an idol.”
Adam: “Right now?”
*Melinda smiles at Adam and they both begin frantically searching for an idol*
Melinda: “Where are you idol?”
*Adam is flipping over rocks while Melinda is searching through nearby trees*
Melinda: “Oh my God.”
*Melinda sees a red string wrapped around the branch of a large tree and starts to pull it out*
Melinda: “Please be an idol please be an idol.”
*Melinda pulls out the remainder of the string and shoves what she finds in her pants without Adam seeing*
Adam: “Any luck?”
Melinda: “No, it’s gotta be around here somewhere.”
Melinda (confessional): “Oh my God oh my God.” “Congratulations, you have found a hidden immunity idol, this idol must be played for yourself or another castaway before the votes are read and has no power after the final five tribal council.” *Melinda kisses the idol* “I can’t believe I just found an idol. This is a game changer, this gives me immense power and I don’t plan on telling anyone, even my right hand man.”
*The camera then cuts to Kool, X, and John talking while tending the fire*
John: “There’s no way this tribe isn’t going to implode when we get to a swap or a merge, I don’t trust half of these people.”
X: “You two are the only people I feel comfortable talking strategy with.”
Kool: “Well I obviously don’t trust Carolina” *the camera shows Carolina* “and Melinda gives me bad vibes. There’s no way I can trust her long term.”
Kool (confessional): “The Kadavu tribe is an absolute mess. We have Carolina who tried to flip the script last tribal to get me out, and Melinda goes off into the forest for hours at a time with Adam. If we lose the next immunity challenge, one of the girls have got to go.”
Kool: “If it came down to it I’d write either of their names down.”
John: “Ya know if we do end up going to tribal I don’t think there’s anything they could do to save themselves, we’ll have our pick.”
X: “Yeah…”
X (confessional): “Kool and John seem to think they’re running the show around camp, and it’s very irritating. I like Melinda, I don’t want to see her go. It’s time to flip the script on Kool and John. It’s time for a Survivor blindside.”
*The camera cuts to X walking up Adam, Melinda, and Ryan*
X: “They’re over there talking about who’s their next pick if we lose.”
Melinda: “What?”
Ryan: “Who are they going after?”
X: “Kool says he doesn’t trust either of the girls and wouldn’t mind sending either of them home if we lose tomorrow.”
Melinda (confessional): “Kool is a snake, I don’t blame Carolina for wanting to vote him out last tribal. If we can rally the troops to take out Kool or John that would be an ideal tribal.”
Melinda: “I don’t trust either one of those boys, I haven’t from the beginning. Kool tried to dictate which way we voted last tribal with little concern of what the rest of the group wanted.”
Ryan: “We need to keep any possible plan to blindside them on the low, if they get word that something fishy is going on, they WILL wreak havoc.”
Adam: “Do we think either of them could have an idol?”
Ryan: “Doubtful. They’d probably be gloating about it.”
X: “No, I think they’re smarter than that. Regardless of how arrogant they may seem and how much control they think they have, they’re smart players, I just think they’re willing to do whatever it takes to win this game.”
Adam: “Well they can’t shine forever.”
*The camera pans out to Carolina sitting alone on the beach*
Carolina (confessional): “Ever since last tribal nobody has made any effort to communicate with me” *starts crying* “or check up on me. I feel completely alone out here, and I can’t play this game alone. I need allies, I need people I can trust, and I don’t trust anybody on this tribe.”
Viti Tribe
Day 5
*The camera shows Nathan and Jason spear fishing, Eddie, Dyl, and Brendon on the beach, and Admir and Dan tending the fire*
*The camera then cuts to the beach*
Dyl: “This sitting around doing no strategy talk is killing me.”
Eddie: “Don’t get too eager. The more we keep winning, the better chance we all have at the merge.”
Brendon: “Do you really think we’re going to stay eight strong at the merge?”
Eddie: “I think it’s possible, and more than that I think it’s necessary. We know and trust each other more than the people on the other tribe. It’s our only chance.”
Brendon (confessional): “Eddie has this idea that all eight of us are going to stay strong until the final eight and then have a Viti war after. We are not a cohesive unit, I don’t believe that any of these people are truly Viti strong.”
Dyl: “One day at a time, one day at a time…”
*The camera cuts to the ocean*
Nathan: “We need food, come on you damn fish.”
*Nathan and Jason continue to try and catch fish*
Jason: “I got one! I got one! It’s a big one, too.”
Jason (confessional): “Being able to provide for my tribe is something I truly value out here. Being the provider of food is something that can keep you in the game for at least a few votes.”
Nathan (screaming to tribe): “We got one!”
*Everybody cheers in excitement*
*The camera cuts back to camp, where the tribe is enjoying the fish*
Dan: “Mm, this is delicious.”
Admir: “Thank you Jason!”
Admir (confesional): “Being able to have moments of bonding with the whole tribe has made us grow a lot closer, I do believe that we are becoming a unit and we’re going to be a force to be reckoned with.”
*The camera cuts to Dan, Nathan, and Jason talking in the water*
Dan: “So I feel like us three are pretty solid.”
Nathan: “Yeah I trust you guys a lot.”
Dan: “I really hope we don’t have to go to tribal, but you always need a plan in place in the case that we do.”
Jason: “I think that everybody is still fed up enough with Bob that we can make him an easy vote.”
Jason (confessional): “Bob has lightened up quite a bit since we won the challenge, I don’t know if he knows he’s in danger or if he actually cares about the tribe, but he’s still annoying, he still dictates around camp, and people don’t like that. Bob is an easy first vote.”
Dan: “Bob has made efforts to try and talk strategy with me, but he’s never willing to say a name. He doesn’t know who he wants out, and that scares me.”
Nathan: “He doesn’t understand the social aspect of the game, that is making genuine connections with people”
Jason: “If we lose I don’t think any of us have anything to worry about. I trust this three fully.”
Dan (confessional): “Everybody seems on board to take Bob out, but I’ve heard my name brought up in conversation before, and that worries me. We need to win this next challenge, or my head could be on the chopping block.”
Immunity Challenge
Day 6
Jeff: “Come on in guys!”
*The Viti tribe walks in followed by the Kadavu tribe*
Jeff: “Viti tribe getting your first look at the new Kadavu tribe…. Darrius voted out at the last tribal council.
Jeff: “First things first gotta take back the idol.”
*Dan hands the idol to Jeff*
Jeff: “Thank you. You guys ready to get to today’s immunity challenge?”
*The castaways all say yes*
Jeff: “For today’s challenge you are going to hold eight ten-pound sandbags above your head, at regular intervals one person from each tribe will drop out, forcing less people to hold more weight. When a sandbag drops, your tribe loses. You are also playing for reward, wanna know what you’re playing for?”
Jeff: “Viti you have one extra member, who are you gonna sit out?”
*Dyl puts his hand up*
Jeff: “Alright, Dyl take a spot on the sit out bench, we’ll get started!”
*The castaways take their place, and everybody has one sandbag above their head, expect for Nathan and John with two a piece*
Jeff: “This challenge is on!”
*The castaways begin to switch the hand they’re holding the bag with*
Jeff: “This challenge is very simple, hold the bags above your head as long as you can. This challenge could last an hour or could be over in five minutes.”
*15 minutes pass*
Jeff: “Alright you’re going to have one person drop from each tribe!”
*Brendon and Carolina both drop*
Jeff: “Brendon dropping, passing his bag to Dan, and Carolina giving hers to X.”
*John gives one of his bags to Kool*
Jeff: “This is where the challenge gets tricky, do you risk dropping a bag to pass it to someone else, or do you hold on?”
*15 minutes pass*
Jeff: “Alright, one more person from each tribe needs to drop!”
*Bob and Melinda drop*
Jeff: “Bob giving his bag to X.. X is now holding three bags, and Melinda gives her bag to Adam, who is now holding two.”
*X begins to struggle*
Jeff: “X is going to pass one of his bags to Admir to relieve the tension from holding up thirty pounds. We are down to five people on each tribe, this challenge could end very quickly!”
*Both tribes begin to struggle with their weight*
Jeff: “Both tribes are struggling to hold their bags!”
*Nathan almost drops a bag but saves it*
Jeff: “Nathan with a nice save!”
*The camera shows both Viti and Kadavu almost dropping their bags*
*John drops one of his bags, causing red water to dump onto the Kadavu tribe*
Jeff: “Viti wins their second immunity challenge! Sending Kadavu back to tribal council!”
*The camera cuts to both tribes on their mats*
Jeff: “Viti, congratulations.”
*Viti cheers as Jeff hands the idol to X*
Jeff: “This massive fishing gear set will be waiting for you back at camp. Enjoy the night off.”
*Viti walks out*
Jeff: “Kadavu, tonight you will vote a second member out from your tribe. Head back to camp, I’ll see you tonight!”
Carolina (confessional): “Another loss is very upsetting, especially when your head is on the chopping block, I have an uphill battle today, but I will not give up.”
Kadavu Tribe
Day 6
Adam: “Good try guys.”
Melinda: “Yeah you guys did great.”
Melinda (confessional): “Going back to tribal is something I did not want to do. I have a hidden immunity idol, but I’d really like to save it for later on in the game.”
*The camera cuts to everybody except Kool and John talking in the water*
X: “I just want to say that I am with you guys. I don’t trust those two.” *The camera shows Kool and John*
Carolina: “I would be 100% on board with making a move against them tonight.”
Carolina (confessional): “This is music to my ears. If we send Kool or John packing tonight, I think this tribe has a strong chance of moving forward cohesively.”
Ryan: “We have five votes against their two, do you think we should split it?”
Adam: “I really don’t think either of them have an idol.”
Adam (confessional): “Splitting the votes with this amount of people is never a good idea, all it takes is one person to flip and one of us could be going home, and if Kool or John do play an idol, I feel pretty confident that I won’t be the one going home.”
Carolina: “Kool is definitely playing a more strategic and long-term game than John, it just makes me nervous that Kool could pull something out of his sleeve. John never leaves camp unless he’s fishing. There’s no way that John has an idol.”
Adam: “I’m just not sure we’ll have another chance to take Kool out, and John is a lot more physically dominant in the challenges.”
Adam (confessional): “There are pros and cons to taking out both Kool and John. Kool is a lot sneakier and could have the idol, and John is his right hand man who’s stronger in challenges. I don’t know what’s going to happen tonight, but somebody is coming back to camp with a grudge.”
*The camera cuts to Kool and John talking at camp*
John (confessional): “Being excluded from a conversation after losing a challenge is never a good sign. Kool and I are extremely close and people could see that as a threat.”
Kool: “I think we have some scrambling to do.”
*Ryan and X both walk back up to camp*
Ryan: “Hey guys.”
Kool: “What’s going on, are we in trouble?”
Ryan: “We’re just trying to make Carolina feel comfortable in case she has an idol.”
Kool: “Tonight has to be Carolina. She was willing to flip against the majority last tribal and she would flip on you guys in a heartbeat.”
X: “You know I’m on board with that.”
Ryan (confessional): “Kool does make a good point about Carolina, she did try to flip on us last tribal, and that could be a problem down the line in a merge scenario. X and I are making Carolina, Kool, and John feel as comfortable as they can going into tribal.”
*The camera cuts to Ryan and X talking alone at the beach*
X: “I think we’re in charge of how this tribal goes tonight.”
Ryan: “Lines will definitely be drawn at the end of all this, we just need to decide who we want on our side.”
X: “Who do you trust more: Kool or Carolina?”
Ryan: “Carolina is desperate, and any name we would have said she would’ve been on board with, even if it was me or you, but Kool is playing a lot wiser than Carolina.”
X (confessional): “Going into tribal tonight Ryan and I have a big decision to make. We can either vote out Carolina or split up the Kool/John duo, we haven’t made up our minds yet and might not until we go to tribal, but no matter what happens, the lines will be drawn.”
Tribal Council
Night 6
*All seven Kadavu members walk in and sit down*
Jeff: “So the last tribal council was a unified vote against Darrius, can we expect the same for tonight, John?”
John: “I don’t think so. I think some of us will be going back to camp blindsided one way or the other.”
Jeff: “Carolina that’s never good to hear, that tonight is going to be a blindside.”
Carolina: “No it’s not, you know I’ve definitely heard my name thrown around and I’m a little nervous tonight.”
Jeff: “Adam, going back to camp after the challenge, did people immediately begin strategizing?”
Adam: “Uh yeah you know everybody has their own idea of what’s going to happen tonight, it’s just about whether other people have the same idea as you.”
Jeff: “Does that ring true for you, Kool?”
Kool: “Yeah when people are having conversations without you you can’t help but wonder if there’s other plans for tonight.”
Jeff: “Well that’s the fun of Survivor, everybody has their own agenda, and nobody truly knows where people stand until a torch is snuffed.”
*Adam smiles as Ryan and X whisper back and forth*
Ryan (whispering): “...yeah…”
*X nods his head at Ryan*
Jeff: “Melinda, having people at tribal whisper back and forth can’t give you a good feeling.”
Melinda: “Yeah you know we came here with a plan set in place and I’m just hoping that people stick to it.”
Jeff: “On that note it is time to vote, Carolina, you’re up.”
*Kool is seen holding up a vote that says “Carolina”*
Kool: “I haven’t trusted you since you threw my name out, hope I’m on the same page with everyone tonight.”
*Everyone else votes*
Jeff: “I’ll go tally the votes.”
*Jeff comes back with the urn*
Jeff: “If anybody has a hidden immunity idol and you’d like to play it, now would be the time to do so.”
*Kool looks around*
*Melinda looks down at her bag*
Jeff: “Alright, I’ll read the votes.”
Jeff: “First vote…. Carolina”
“Carolina. That’s two votes Carolina”
*Carolina grabs her face*
“John”
“John. That’s two votes Carolina, two votes John”
“John. That’s three votes John, two votes Carolina.”
*John and Kool look at Ryan and X*
“Second person voted out… John, you need to bring me your torch.”
*John shakes his head and he grabs his torch*
Jeff: “John, the tribe has spoken.” *snuffs torch* “Time for you to go.”
*John leaves*
Jeff: “Well with six people left on your tribe and the lines drawn, it should make for an interesting next couple of days. Head out, goodnight.”
Votes
-------
Ryan… John
Kool… Carolina
Carolina… John
Adam… John
John… Carolina
Melinda… John
X… John
*Two boats with 8 castaways each are shown speeding through the water and arrive at a larger boat, where Jeff Probst stands*
*all 16 castaways get onto the boat and immediately start sizing up the other tribe*
Ryan (confessional): “Looking at the other tribe… we’re obviously the more physically dominant tribe.”
Jason (confessional): “I’ve been preparing for Survivor my entire life. I’m just ready to play!”
Jeff: “Welcome to Survivor.. this is where some of you will live and compete for the next 39 days. Here on this boat are supplies to help you get started, you have three minutes to gather as much as possible and get on your raft. Go!”
*All of the castaways begin frantically collecting as much as they can and throwing it on their tribe’s raft*
*Admir lifts up a box filled with fruit and an advantage reveals itself, unbeknownst to him*
*Nathan sees the advantage and shoves it in the back of his pants*
Jeff: You have 30 seconds, everybody needs to start getting on their raft!”
*all the castaways jump off the boat and get onto their raft and begin heading towards their designated beach*
Viti Beach
Day 1
Jason: “Hey guys!”
Bob: “Anybody know anything about shelter building?”
Bob (confessional): “As soon as we get to the beach I immediately begin focusing on the shelter. Without a shelter, we’re f*cked.”
*The camera pans to the castaways diligently working on the shelter*
Nathan: *whispering* “I gotta go somewhere to see what I got. Hey guys I’m gonna see if I can find some firewood.”
Nathan (confessional): “On the boat I found a note that said “Secret Advantage” and immediately shoved it in my pants.” *Opens note* “Congratulations… You have found an advantage in the game. This is a hidden immunity idol, but only has power during the first Tribal Council. If your tribe loses at the first immunity challenge, you may use the idol for yourself or another castaway from your tribe. If the Kadavu Tribe loses the first immunity challenge, you must send the idol to a castaway on the Kadavu Tribe.” “Wow.. this is huge. I’m guaranteed safety at the first Tribal Council, and can build a bond with a castaway on the other Tribe if we win the challenge. Wow.”
Bob: “Guys.. let’s go. We don’t have all day. Once the sunsets if we don’t have our shelter set up we’re f*cked. We need water.”
*Dan, Eddie, and Brendon go to the water well*
Eddie: “This is quite a tribe we got here. Bob definitely thinks he’s in charge.”
Brendon: “Yeah I’m not sure he knows what he’s talking about.”
Brendon (confessional): “Right off the bat Bob starts taking control of the shelter building, and one thing I’ve learned from watching Survivor is to never put yourself in a leadership position on day one, it never works well.”
Eddie: “I trust this three right here.”
Dan: “For sure, I’ve been getting good vibes from Nathan and Jason too.”
Dan (confessional): “While Bob is busy commanding everybody like a drill sergeant, I’ve started strategizing. I started making connections with Eddie and Brendon, but I want to make sure everybody on the tribe trusts me fully, because I’m here to play… I’m here to win.”
*The camera pans to Dan talking with Bob, Admir, and Dyl*
Dan: “How do you guys feel about this tribe so far?”
Bob: “I feel like everybody’s focusing on the social aspect of the game way too early. That isn’t important right now.”
Dan: “Yeah…”
Bob (confessional): “I’m not here to play chit chat with everybody. I’m here to win a million dollars, and we’re not going to win any challenges if we can’t get the shelter built and a fire started. It’s Survivor 101.”
*Bob walks into the woods to collect firewood*
Admir: “Bob clearly isn’t focused on alliances, what is he doing?”
Dyl: “He’ll be laughing when Jeff snuffs his torch on day 3.”
Dyl (confessional): “Everybody is a little annoyed with Bob right now, and he’s not handling it very well. Bob is very socially inept, but I think he has his priorities in order. Necessities first, strategy later.”
Kadavu Tribe
Day 1
Kool: “Alright! How is everyone?”
Darrius: “I’m still processing that I’m on Survivor. This is crazy.”
Carolina: “How do you guys think the shelter should be set up?”
*All of Kadavu begins working on the shelter, collecting firewood and starting the fire making process”
X: “I got it guys! Get me wood! Get me wood!”
*The castaways cheer as X successfully makes fire*
Melinda (confessional): “Thirty minutes in and we already have fire.. I think our tribe is stacked and we should have no problem in the challenges.”
*The camera pans to Melinda, Darrius, and Adam walking in the woods*
Adam: “What do you guys think of the group?”
Darrius: “I’m liking our tribe. You two seem very upfront and I’d love to work with both of you.”
Adam: “I think that if we can get a solid five from the start we should be solid at least for the first few rounds.”
Darrius: “I kind of want to start searching for the idol.”
Adam: “Yeah man.”
Adam (confessional): “Darrius… What are you doing? Searching for the idol on day one? Never a good idea. He’s already put a target on his back.”
*The camera pans to the rest of the castaways at the unfinished shelter, just as Adam and Melinda get back with firewood*
X: “Where’s Darrius?”
Melinda: “I think he’s doing a little idol hunting.”
John: “Already?”
Kool: “Well I know who’s name I’m writing down”
*The castaways laugh in agreement*
Kool (confessional): “From watching Survivor, I know how vital it is to make connections from the start. Darrius has already isolated himself from the group by searching for an idol, and that makes him an immediate threat, whether or not he found it.”
*The camera pans to Darrius searching for the idol*
Darrius: “It’s gotta be here somewhere.. I gotta get back to camp soon or they’re gonna know I’m searching for the idol.”
Darrius (confessional): “I know that searching for the idol on day one is a rookie move, but if I can find it and keep myself safe for three more days, I can make the necessary connections to get me to the end.”
*The camera shows a branch with red string wrapped around it, unbeknownst to Darrius as he walks back to camp*
Adam: “They’re already talking about getting rid of you, man.”
Darrius: “What? I was gone for 15 minutes.”
Adam: “Yeah, searching for an idol right away puts everyone a little on edge. I trust you, but I’m not sure the rest of the tribe does.”
Adam (confessional): “Darrius searching for the idol already puts a huge target on his back, and I’m not sure I want to be aligned with somebody with such a huge target.”
*Kool, John, and X are talking in the water while cleaning off*
John: “What are your guys’ feelings about the tribe so far?”
Kool: “I know that I trust the two of you. We’re hard working around camp and can get sh*t done.”
John: “Yeah for sure. I think Darrius has got to go as soon as we lose a challenge.”
X: “Yeah I don’t trust him as far as I can throw him.”
Kool: “I’m getting really good vibes from Carolina and Ryan, too.”
John: “Yeah if we lose the first challenge I’m already set on who’s staying and who’s going home.”
John (confessional): “I’ve been wanting to play Survivor my whole life, and I am a super fan, and being a superfan I know what to do and what not to do on day one, and searching for an idol is at the top of the do not do list, Darrius is a threat, and he’s gotta go.”
Viti Tribe
Day 2
*The camera shows Eddie, Brendon, Natan, and Jason talking at the water well*
Brendon: “This game moves crazy fast.”
Nathan: “Yeah, it’s hard to tell who’s lying and who’s not already.”
Jason: “I’ve been hearing Bob’s name throw around quite a bit.”
Nathan: “Yeah he’s the one person that everybody collectively doesn’t like.”
Eddie: “I’m honestly down to vote him out if it comes down to it, but Dan is playing hardcore from the start. I see him talking to everybody and it’s hard to tell if he actually wants Bob out, or if he has another plan in mind.”
Jason (confessional): “Everybody has started noticing Dan’s gameplay unfold, which is to talk to everybody as much as possible and be in the know about everything. It’s hard to trust someone like that in the long run. If we lose the challenge tomorrow and have to go to tribal, I wouldn’t mind writing Dan’s name down.”
*Bob and Dyl are talking in the shelter*
Bob: “Those four boys are in the water strategizing. I can tell.”
Dyl: “Yeah. Honestly, Bob, I’ve heard your name thrown out by a few people. Everybody thinks you’re too blunt.”
Bob: “Who said my name?”
Dyl: “I’m not really sure who-”
Bob: “Who said my name Dyl, tell me.”
Dyl: “I heard your name from Dan.”
Dyl (confessional): “I’m not sure if Bob’s strategy coming into the game was to bully people into giving him information, but that’s not how I roll. I respected Bob’s diligence when it came to getting things done around camp, but he’s a bully, and bullies never win.”
Bob: “So Dan is throwing my name out?” *Bob looks around camp “Hey Dan, would you come over here for a minute?”
Dan: “Yeah what’s up.”
Bob: “Dyl just told me that you are throwing my name around. Now I thought that you all would respect my ability to get sh*t done, but apparently not. If you want food to eat and a fire to cook it with, I suggest keeping me around for a while.”
Dan (confessional): “I’m stunned. Bob approached me and called me out for throwing his name around, when every single person on this tribe has already discussed voting him out. I’m not sure who I’m more mad at, Dyl for spilling the beans, or Bob for being so confrontational about it.” *laughs*
Kadavu Tribe
Day 2
*The camera shows Darrius and Melinda sitting in the sand*
Darrius: “I’m really hoping we win this first challenge. I know everybody has been talking about me.”
Melinda: “I trust you, Darrius. I think you need to lay low, stop hunting for idols, stop with the constant strategizing, and focus on winning tomorrow's challenge.”
Darrius (confessional): “I’m not going to have someone tell me how to play this game. You don’t want to cross me when I’m angry, and Melinda made me angry.”
Darrius: “Yeah. I think I’m gonna go lay down.”
*Darrius walks back to the shelter where Kool and Adam are laying*
Darrius: “Melinda is the first to go.”
Adam: “What?”
Darrius: “Melinda’s down there telling me how to play my game and threw both of your names under the bus.”
*Camera pans to Melinda*
Darrius (confessional): “So I walked back to camp, and spread some untruthful information that Melinda threw both Kool’s and Adam’s name under the bus.”
Kool: “She said she wanted us out?”
Darrius: “I was talking to her and she said “I don’t trust Kool or Adam, we need to get the other four with us and split the vote on them”.”
Kool (confessional): “I don’t know if Darrius is trying to start drama at camp, or if Melinda is being shady, but I need to get to the bottom of this.”
*The camera pans to Kool and Miranda talking in the water*
Kool: “So earlier Darrius came up to me and Adam and told us that you said the vote had to be split between us if we lose.”
*Melinda looks stunned*
Melinda: “Did he really?”
Kool: “Yeah and I really don’t believe a word he says and haven’t trust him from the second we stepped on this beach.”
Melinda (confessional): “I’m blown away. I tried to help Darrius by telling him to calm his nerves, we haven’t even lost a challenge yet and he’s already spreading paranoia about me! You better watch out Darrius, because if we lose, you will be the one going home.”
Immunity Challenge
Day 3
Jeff: “Come on in guys!”
*Both tribes walk in, Ryan holding the tribe flag for Viti and X for Kadavu*
Jeff: “You guys ready to get to your first immunity challenge?”
*All the castaways cheer*
Jeff: “You will be playing for... this.” *reveals immunity idol* “This is what you covet in this game. With this, you are safe from being voted out.” “For today’s challenge, you are going to race through a series of obstacles and retrieve three keys, once you have your keys, you will use them to unlock three chests, which contain the pieces to a dragon puzzle. You are also playing for this” *shows flint* “This will help you create the much needed resource in this game…. fire. I’ll give you a minute to strategize, we’ll get started!”
*All the castaways are on the starting mat*
Jeff: “Ready… go!”
*The castaways rush to get through the first obstacle, which is a steep wall with no rope to help climb.”
*Bob lays flat and lets his tribemates climb up him*
Jeff: “Bob is using himself as a human ladder letting Admir get up the wall!”
*Admir, Dyl and Brendon get up the wall for Viti, while Kadavu struggles to get Melinda up*
Jeff: “Kadavu having a tough time working together on this first part of the challenge!
*Melinda finally gets up the wall while Eddie and Nathan climb up for Viti*
Jeff: “Viti off to a bit of a lead already.”
*Kadavu begins picking up the pace, getting John, Kool, Ryan, and Carolina up the wall while Viti gets everyone up*
Jeff: “You’re good Viti!”
*Viti slides down the wall and Dan lifts Dyl up to untie the knots to retrieve the first key.*
Jeff: “Viti has their first key! Kadavu is really struggling in the first part of this challenge.”
*Kadavu finally gets everyone over*
Jeff: “You’re good Kadavu! Slide down the wall!”
*All of Kadavu slide down the wall and John lifts Melinda up to retrieve the first key while Dyl begins working on the second*
Jeff: “Melinda has the first key for Kadavu! Kadavu has really picked up the pace in this challenge.”
*Dyl unties the second key*
Jeff: “Viti has their second key! They’re now working on their third and final key.”
*Melinda unties the second key*
Jeff: “Melinda has the second key for Kadavu! Dyl has the final key for Viti! Two people start on the puzzle!”
*Bob and Dan start unlocking their chests to get the puzzle pieces*
Jeff: “Kadavu has their final key!”
*Adam and John start working on the chests for Kadavu*
Jeff: “Viti has all their chests unlocked! Start dumping your pieces out! This is a complicated dragon puzzle.”
*Adam struggles to unlock the final chest, but finally gets it unlocked*
Jeff: “Kadavu can begin working on their puzzle!”
*The puzzle solvers for both tribes start looking at their pieces, trying to figure out where to start*
*Dan puts the first piece in the correct spot*
Jeff: “Dan with the first piece for Viti!”
*Both tribes rush to put their puzzle together*
Jeff: “Viti with their first section of the puzzle done, while Adam and John continue to struggle for Kadavu.”
Kool: “Do you want to switch out?”
Adam: “Yeah. Let’s switch.”
Jeff: “Kool is going to take Adam’s place in the puzzle, maybe they can start getting some traction!”
*Kool and John finish the first section for Kadavu while Bob and Dan are halfway through the second*
Jeff: “Viti with a huge lead right now! Kadavu is going to have to pick up the pace.”
*Viti finishes the second section*
Jeff: “Viti with their second section complete! Viti has a huge lead over Kadavu, who can’t figure out this second section of pieces.”
*Viti continues to place pieces as Kadavu finishes their second section*
Jeff: “Kadavu is finally done with their second section!”
John (whispering): “Thanks Jeff.”
Jeff: “Viti has six more pieces, Kadavu has 12!”
*Bob places two more pieces*
Jeff: “Viti is very close to winning the first immunity challenge.”
*Kool places three pieces for Kadavu while John struggles to fit any*
Jeff: “Viti down to two pieces.. Viti down to one piece!”
*Dan fits the last piece in, completing the puzzle*
Jeff: “Viti wins immunity! Sending Kadavu to Tribal Council*
*Kool is visibly angry*
*The camera cuts to both tribes on their colored mats*
Jeff: “Viti, congratulations!” *Jeff hands the idol to Admir* “You have also won fire in the form of flint” *tosses it to Bob* “Head out, enjoy the rest of your night. As for you guys, one of you will be voted out tonight, becoming the first person voted out of Survivor, head back to camp, I’ll see you tonight, good luck.”
Darrius (confessional): “Going back to camp after a loss is always a bummer, but this is Survivor, and I’m here to play. Bring it on.”
Kadavu Tribe
Day 3
Kool: “Sorry, guys.”
Carolina: “No you did great. Good try guys.”
*The Kadavu tribe sits around for a while, and then begins branching off to strategize. The camera cuts to everybody except Darrius and Melinda talking in the water*
John: “For me, one of those two has to go.”
*The camera shows Darrius and Melinda*
X: “For me, I think Melinda has to go. She’s extremely lazy around camp and she didn’t perform well in the challenge.”
Kool: “I just feel like Darrius is so unpredictable that if we don’t get him out now, we might now have the chance later.”
Kool (confessional): “I want Darrius gone. He isolated himself from the beginning, and has been running circles around camp trying to send Melinda home.”
Carolina: “I mean I would be fine with either one of them as long as we stay six strong.”
Ryan: “Do you think Darrius found the idol.”
*Carolina and John both say “no” at the same time*
Kool: “I think that if he found it he feels safe enough to not play it. We need to tell him that the vote is Melinda, so if he does have it, one of us doesn't get blindsided.”
Carolina (confessional): “I’m not sure I trust Kool. He’s very adamant about what he wants and doesn’t really listen to what anybody else says, and lucky for me, I can make that happen. After the challenge, I looked in my bag and saw a note that said “read in private”, so I got away from camp, and saw this.” *holds up idol* “This idol has been gifted to you by someone on the Viti tribe, this idol is only good for tonight, and can be played for anybody on your tribe. This idol is a game changer, and I intend on making things happen with it.”
*The camera cuts to Carolina and Darrius talking*
Darrius: “First Tribal. Kind of sucks doesn’t it?”
Carolina: “Yeah well, it's the game. What are you thinking for tonight?”
Darrius: “I think voting Melinda would make our tribe a lot stronger, and I really don’t trust her.”
Carolina: “I think that physically, Melinda would be the best choice, but I’m looking at long-term, who’s really playing, and Melinda hasn’t done much of anything so far.”
Darrius: “Who are you thinking then?”
Carolina: “Kool.”
Carolina (confessional): “I brought up Kool’s name to Darrius because I just cannot trust Kool. Something about him makes me feel uneasy.”
Darrius: “I mean I’m perfectly fine with Kool going if that’s what the group wants.”
Darrius (confessional): “Carolina comes up to me and suggests we take Kool out. Well okay! Carolina is here to play, and so am I. I trust her.”
Darrius: “Do we have the numbers though?”
Carolina: “I think I can get Melinda and Adam on board.”
Darrius: “We need five for the majority. I’m gonna talk to Ryan to see where his head is at.”
*The camera cuts to Darrius, Carolina, Melinda, Adam, and Ryan talking in the shelter*
Carolina: “How do you guys feel about Kool?”
Ryan: “He’s good in the challenges, if it weren’t for him today would’ve been a blowout.”
Carolina: “I think that long-term Kool is going to be a huge threat, and I’d rather take him out sooner than later.”
Adam (confessional): “Carolina wants to take out our more dominant force in the challenges because she thinks he’s a huge threat. It's been three days! Are you crazy? Carolina is playing this game too hard too fast. Maybe we need to rethink voting out Darrius.”
Melinda: “Yeah I’m not sure taking him out will help our tribe at all.”
Carolina (confessional): “Nobody seems to be on board with taking Kool out, so I have some scrambling to do.”
*Kool and Adam are talking by the fire*
Adam: “Carolina is gunning for you.”
Kool: “Carolina?”
Adam: “Carolina held a meeting with me, Ryan, Darrius, and Melinda and told us that you were the biggest target long term.”
Kool (confessional): “We have a perfect plan of voting out Darrius, and Carolina wants to rock the vote by throwing my name out there. Bad move.”
Kool: “So what do you think? Stick with the plan to vote out Darrius or flip on Carolina?”
Adam: “I think that Carolina is in way over her head and trying to start her survivor resume as soon as possible, and that can be dangerous. I’m not sure what we should do.”
*The camera cuts to Melinda, Kool, Adam, Ryan, and John talking*
Kool: “Carolina is throwing my name out.”
John: “Why would she turn against five people? Is she trying to get voted out?”
Melinda: “She’s thinking about long-term, and long-term I see her flipping at a swap or at the merge. I don’t trust her at all.”
John: “Should we flip the vote to Carolina.”
John (confessional): “Everybody is freaking out right now. I’ve heard Darrius, Melinda, and Carolina for Tribal tonight, and I have no idea what is going to happen.”
Tribal Council
Night 3
Jeff: “Everybody grab a torch, dip it in and get fire, this is part of the ritual at tribal council as fire represents your life in the game, once your fire is gone, so are you.”
Jeff: “So Darrius, how did everybody get along at camp at the beginning?”
Darrius: “I think we got along pretty well, I think that we came together as a cohesive unit and unfortunately we’re going to lose someone tonight.”
Jeff: “Kool, is that a collective thought? Does everybody feel that way?”
Kool: “We definitely didn’t want to come to Tribal tonight, but no, I don’t think we’re one big family quite yet.”
Jeff: “Carolina… Do you think tonight will be unified or will there be a division in the tribe?”
Carolina: “I think that tonight we’re getting rid of the person who’s caused the most trouble around camp.”
Jeff: “Are alliances starting to form, Adam?”
Adam: “Alliances are forming Jeff, and quite sporadically. Every time I have a conversation a new name is being thrown out.”
Jeff: “Melinda, if it’s true that new names keep getting thrown out after every conversation, is tonight’s vote still up in the air?”
Melinda: “Um.. I think that we came here with a plan of what needed to happen, and we’re just hoping that the bonds we’ve built over the past three days hold true.”
Jeff: “Alright, it is time to vote, Darrius, you’re up.”
*Tribal music starts playing as the castaways start voting*
*Kool is shown from behind while holding up his vote and says “I don’t trust you, at all, goodbye.”*
Jeff: “I’ll go tally the votes”
Jeff: “If anybody has a hidden immunity idol and you’d like to play it, now would be the time to do so.”
*Adam looks around*
*Carolina looks down at her bag*
Carolina: “Hey Jeff.. I’m not sure what’s going to happen tonight, but I’m playing this for myself just in case.”
*Kool looked shocked*
*Darrius smiles*
Jeff: “This IS a hidden immunity idol, any votes cast for Carolina will not count. I’ll read the votes.”
Jeff: “First vote… Melinda”
“Second vote… Darrius”
“Third vote… Darius. That’s two votes Darrius, one vote Melinda”
“Darrius, that’s three votes Darrius.”
*Darrius looks confused as Kool and John glance at each other*
“Fifth vote… Darrius. That’s four votes Darrius, one vote Melinda”
“First person voted out… Darrius. Darrius that’s five and that’s enough, you need to bring me your torch.”
Jeff: “Darrius, the tribe has spoken.”
*snuffs torch*
“Time for you to go”
*Darrius leaves*
Jeff: “A united vote, but with an idol played, I’m not sure this is one big happy family. Head back to camp, goodnight!”
