Hello Tengaged and welcome to Survivor: Fans vs. Friends. The format of this season is Blood vs. Water. I renamed the tribes Fans and Friends – fans due to being fans of Survivor/Brant and being the one to comment first, and then Friends because you’re the “bloodline” friend they tagged. Good luck, here’s to a rocky season (I already ran through the brant and made a chart. I’ll leak those at the end of the “season” ;) ). Enjoy! Sorry this is taking so long to do - college is really fuckin' me over and this is a side project so... priorities.

“Hello, hello, hello.” Kidcool404, the host, is talking as he stands on a ship in the middle of an ocean. “Today we have a gathering of Survivor Fanatics and their dearest friends.” The camera pans and switches around to the blue tribe, the Fans, and the pink tribe, the Friends. “Friends, how many of you have seen Survivor before?” A woman with blonde hair and a pink, long sleeved shirt on raised her hand. She looked around and only two other people have raised their hands. “What’s your name?” Kid pointed to her.
“Immaxyman.” Immaxyman spoke up.
“Do you think that admitting to watching before could be an advantage?” Kid questioned.
“It’s a double edged sword. I mean watching it, I know what to expect, what to prepare for… that’s a huge advantage. But by me openly admitting that I have this knowledge,” She looked around, “me and these other two could be targeted because we know what’s going on.”
“Friends, let me ask you this: do you think you’re working with or against your partner?” Kid spoke to them as a group again. He watched as a few hands from the Friends’ tribe rose. He heard a few snickers from the Fans tribes. “That is most definitely NOT the case… Fans, how many of you have seen Survivor Blood vs. Water?” All of their hands rose. “That’s no surprise. Do you think that’s an advantage, you, in the green shirt and glasses.”
“I – well I’m confused.” Pizzawithcookirs was who Kid was speaking to. “Shouldn’t…?” He was thinking about the opening twist.
“Ahh! A true fan… well, if you want to bring it up,” Kid cut him off. “Sure, let’s get to it. Fuck the introduction.” Kid started to hand out slabs and pens. “Friends, if you have no clue what’s happening… you’re choosing someone to send home. Right. Now.” He finished handing out the slabs and everybody opened them up. “On the first part of your slab is a picture of everybody currently on your tribe and their name is below their picture. Write their name down on the slab – no talking from here on out. One minute starting now. Good luck.” Kid waited about a minute and then announced the Friends would be revealing first. He went right down the line they were sitting in. “You in the black with the black eyes. What’s your name, who did you vote for, and why?”
“My name is Karim.” She sat forward. “Um… I voted for…” She turned her slab around. “Thumper. The reason I voted for Thumper is because well, I saw someone else did and I figured it’d be smart to add my vote to theirs so at least two votes off of me, so… there’s no solid reasoning. Sorry, hun.”
“What you deem as smart,” Kid was done listening to her, “Others might deem as being a follower. In case you need a sheep vote later,” Kid raised his brows and looked at Karim, “We know who to ask.” He finished that train of thought and started another. “So, since you’re on the end and saw someone else write it down, my guess is you,” Kid directed the attention to the man on Karim’s left, “also wrote Thumper down. Correct?” The man nodded. “What’s your name and reasoning?”
“You guys can call me Twothree. Well… as you can see, I started to write Thumper and then scribbled it out, but then I wrote it again because I saw Karim write it and then whoever this is,” Twothree pointed over his shoulder, “Was also writing it.”
“You’re bringing your hand to your face, why? Who are you, who’d you vote for, and what’s wrong?” Kid pointed at the person in a hat that reads “Slut”.
“My name is Obey, and I wrote down Thumper because I saw /you/ wrote down Thumper!” Obey pointed to Twothree.
“Well, SOMEONE had to put Thumper’s name down first…” Kid spoke over them. “You next to Obey, name, vote, and reasoning.”
“My name is Liam and I voted for Immaxyman.” He looked in her direction. “I just… don’t think you have what it takes to help us move forward as a tribe."
“Ouch. Tough words, let’s take it back to Immaxy. Who did you vote for?” Kid directed the attention over there.
“I voted for Karim because… I just think she’s out of her element by being in this game.” There was a shrug and no hard feelings.
“To the left of you?” Kid pointed at the girl to his left.
“My name is Dee and I voted for Immaxy. For the same reason – I feel as if you’re out of your element on this tribe. Sorry.” Immaxy shot a look in Dee’s direction with a bit of a bitter tone.
“Three votes Thumper… Two votes Immaxy… One vote Karim. This is still ANYBODY’S boot with four votes left. Woman in the front. Name, reason, and vote – go.” Kid was moving all over.
“My name is Bella and I voted for Karim. She seems like a weak link and… if we have the opportunity to get rid of our weakest link at the starting gate, I say drop the dead weight.” Bella looked to her right because she knew the person to her right also voted for Karim.
“My name is uh… I’m Lions.” He held his head down low. “Unfortunately, Immaxy, I voted for you.” Bella had a confused look because she realized he switched his vote. “I just… I have no idea why.”
“That’s 3 Thumper, 3 Immaxy, 2 Karim, 2 votes left… you – not Thumper.” Kid pointed again, “Name, vote, and reason.”
“Y’all can call me Babe. I voted uh… I voted with this person because I saw a handful of other votes going this way.” Babe dropped her chart and Karim’s name was written on it. “No hard feelings?” Karim rolled her eyes.
“Thumper! You are the final vote in a three to three to three tie! Assuming you didn’t vote for yourself, hopefully you chose between Karim and Immaxy!” Kid exclaimed.
“Well… I saw that she put down my name and that these others put down mine so… I knew that it’d be a kiss from Karma to put down hers. Also you really are the weakest one out of…” Thumper looked at the other tribe then back at hers. “Both… tribes so… there’s some solid reasoning behind my votes. I’m not sorry… /hun/.” Thumper cocked her head as she got her justice back for Karim’s vote.
“Karim! Four to three to three… come join me over here… that’s enough to take you out of the game – not even going to step foot on your tribe. No buff for you. Fans… your turn.”
The fans quickly scribbled down names after pointing and gestures and within all but two minutes they were done. “You in the front. Name, vo- you know the drill. We’re just going to go right down the line this time guys.” The camera shot down the five in the front then back down the five in the back.
“I am Mac, I voted for Caleb as he seems to be a strong competitor. I know it may not be the best to vote out someone who is strong right off the bat, but by keeping them around, it’s putting me at a lower rung on the ladder.” Mac shrugged and the conversation moved on.
“My name is Sosyo and I voted for Koji.” Sosyo turned to Koji. “I just think you’ll bring us down at the end of the day – you look like more of a social threat than a physical and I don’t want to take that blindside early on.”
“I go by Filepe, my vote is for Pizza… Pizza, you just seem like the weakest dude here and I’m trying to keep a tough tribe.” He looked over his shoulder.
“I just went with what I saw so… Pizza, my vote is also you.” There was a pause. “Oh I’m King by the way.”
“Well, as we all know by now I’m Koji and apparently I’m one of the weaker people on this tribe.” She put her hair over her shoulder. “Much like my smarter teammate, Mac, I put down Caleb’s name as I myself would not like to compete against the literal personification of the hulk in a merge so… no hard feelings.”
“Back row, left to right.” Kid pointed at the other five.
“My name is Caleb,” He waved and bowed his head. “Uh… Koji I just don’t think you’ll be any asset. Physically or socially. Sorry.”
“I’m Phil. I don’t want to go up against a strong player, as we’ve heard. So Caleb… I’m sorry.”
“7 votes in. Two votes Pizza, two votes Koji, and three votes Caleb. Three votes left – anything is possible out here.” Kid pointed back to the line. “Carry on.”
“Well… I am Pizza. Thanks for your votes, both of you. Uh, Koji. I’m sorry, my vote is for you.” He paused. “Any name but mine.”
“You guys can just call me Girl.” She looked down to Koji. “I… also voted you.”
“Wow!” Kid interjected. “One vote left! We are at four Koji, three Caleb, and two for Pizza. If this vote is for anybody BUT Caleb… Koji you’re out of this game. Who are you?”
“I am Cool. And well… Koji.” There was a pause and she looked defeated. “I hope you can thank me later for tying this vote up. I voted Caleb.” Her jaw dropped and Caleb was pissed. “Caleb, we’re all fans out here. We know that your strength is about to become our weakness. That merge will hit like a tank and you’ll be unstoppable.”
“Absolutely… in… cred…ible.” Kid shook his head at this cast. “You guys really did that, huh.” Again, a pause. “Well, we’ll go into a tie breaker… however you only have 30 seconds to make up your mind this time annnnnd… GO.” Everybody quickly jotted down their votes. “Raise your hand if you voted for anybody BUT Koji and Caleb.” Nobody raised their hands. “Okay so… Koji… Caleb… each of you stand over here. When I call your name, go stand behind the person you voted for.” Kid waited for the two to shuffle across the beach. “Let’s start with… Girl and Cool.” Girl walked behind Koji and Cool walked behind Caleb. “One to one… no votes changed. “Mac and Sosyo… let’s see.” Mac walked behind Caleb and Sosyo walked behind Koji. “Still no switch ups… Phil and Pizza… let’s see if you guys changed your votes.” Phil walked behind Caleb and Pizza to Koji. “Great! So… we’re at a tie… with two votes left… let’s do this one at a time and see if it ties up – and it WILL go to rocks if it ties this time!” Kid paused and looked back at the original mats. “King… go stand behind the person you voted for.”
“Um… I’m really sorry…” King kicked the sand and walked down the two aisles then swayed towards Caleb. Caleb mouthed the words “What the fuck.”
“Our final vote!!!” Kid was in awe at the toss up. “If you voted for Koji, this will be our first vote AND our first rock ceremony… let’s see!”
Felipe walked down the two like King did and stood behind Koji. He pulled out his notepad. “Koji… you’re welcome.” He opened it to show that he had written down Caleb’s name.
“Six votes to four! Caleb… you’re headed to redemption island with Karim! You both will NOT be headed back with your tribes, but instead – well… here’s your map. Get the HELL off of my island.” Kid threw it towards them and they walked out. “Tough decisions were made today by both tribes. Certainly, this will affect how you will move from here on out. Has this divided the tribes completely, or can these cracks be mended? Friends,” Kid tossed their map. “Get goin’. Good luck. Fans…” Kid tossed theirs to the as well.
