Jeff Probst: “Previously on Survivor! Matthew was feeling angry at his ex-allies Kenny and Kayley for flipping on him and Rosie. An altercation happened between him and Kayley, which Kayley quickly dismissed. On Sibu, Shayla knew that if her tribe lost the immunity challenge, her alliance would need the votes to get rid of Nicole. Shayla attempted to convince Alexis, but backfired after Alexis told Nicole everything Shayla told her. At the Reward Challenge, it was a race between Kenny and Rhameen. Rhameen got his ankle stuck in the rope, which let Kenny pull far ahead and take the win. Matthew attempted to make a plea to a new ally in Joseph, and Joseph was willing to hear what Matthew was saying. At the other camp, Shayla and Lea talked to Lisa about how they need Alexis to vote out Nicole, which Lisa agreed to. At the Immunity Challenge, things started off even, but Nicole ruined her tribe’s chances by losing her goggles and not being able to go underwater. At their camp, Lisa and Alexis talked about who they should vote out. Lisa thought it would be smart to get rid of Nicole, while Nicole thought it would be smarter to keep her. Ultimately, Alexis convinced Lisa that Shayla should be the one leaving, and Shayla was voted out. 12 people are left. Who will be voted out tonight?”
Jordan and Lea take a walk away from camp and sit on the beach.
Lea: *crying* “Jordan I’m telling you… I can’t take it. If I hear them giggle or see them hug one more time I’m going to lose it. It isn’t safe for me to be here.”
Lea is shown sitting on the tanning rock. Jeff Probst comes walking in.
Jeff: “Lea.”
Lea: *crying* “Hey Jeff.”
Jeff: “So I’ve been told you want to talk to me.”
Lea: “Yeah I do. My whole time here, Shayla and I have bonded. We both come from hard home lives, we have both earned what we have, we don’t get things handed to us. There is a certain person on my tribe that is basically the exact opposite of that: Nicole. My entire time on this island I have spent hours trying to hold my tongue around her. With what just happened, I can’t hold my tongue anymore. I don’t think I can hold anything around her. If I see her, I will lose it Jeff. And with Shayla gone, I feel like half of me is gone. I feel hopeless.
Jeff: “So taking all of this into consideration? Are you saying you would like to pull yourself from the game?”
Lea: “Yeah… I’d like to quit.”
Jeff: “O.K. We’ll get your stuff together. Go head on the boat.”
(Exit Interview) Lea: “My time here had been bitter sweet. I met one of the most amazing people on this island, and I have also met one of the worst. I just hope one day Nicole gets what’s coming to her. I believe in Karma and I hope it bites her hard in the ass. I want Jordan to hang in there too. He’s the only one worth rooting for on that tribe.”
Jeff approaches the camp where everyone is sitting up chatting.
Alexis: “Oh my god! Jeff!”
Jeff: “Hey guys. I just have some news to deliver about Lea. She’s been gone for quite a while I assume. Well she thinks it’s in everyone’s best interest that she pulls herself from the game.
Jordan is stunned; Nicole smiles, but quickly covers her mouth.
Jeff: “Please gather her things and hand them to me.”
Jeff: “Come on in guys! Aoba getting your first look at the Sibu tribe, Shayla voted out at the last Tribal Council, and Lea quitting shortly after.”
The whole Aoba tribe is shocked.
Jeff: “Alexander. Reaction?”
Alexander: “Well, that explains why the Reward Challenge was a day late.”
Jeff: “Yep. So for today’s Reward Challenge, one person from each tribe will hold a long paddle with six dimples on the end. The first person to get their six balls in the six dimples win. Simple, right? Today, you guys will be playing for that feast that was passed up on last Reward. Pick who you guys want to compete.”
The Aoba tribe chooses Kenny and the Sibu tribe chooses Alexis.
Jeff signals them to start. It takes them both a while to get a ball to stick.
Jeff: “And Alexis gets one… oh no and it falls off!”
Alexis: “Gosh darn it.”
Jeff: “Kenny gets his first ball.”
Jeff: “Right after Kenny gets his, Alexis gets her first.”
Both tribes are silent because both Alexis and Kenny need to focus.
Jeff: “And they both get another one at the exact same time. Four more to go.”
It takes them a while, but Alexis eventually gets her third, with Kenny getting his third seconds after her.”
Jeff: “It’s tied up again!”
Alexis: “Oh my gosh I need to sneeze.”
Alexis sneezes and all of her balls jump out of their dimples.
Jeff: “Alexis’s balls are on the move!”
Alexis: “Ugh!”
Nicole: “Bless you!”
Alexis manages to get one back into place while the other two fall off of the paddle.
Jeff: “Kenny gets his fourth ball. And Alexis gets her second one back.”
Kenny manages to get his fifth ball in; Alexis whimpers.
Jeff: “Kenny could get it right here… and Kenny gets his last ball in! Aoba wins the reward!”
The Aoba tribe celebrates and proclaims they can’t wait to eat meat.
Jeff: “Got nothing for you Sibu, head back to camp.
~*AOBA*~ Day 14
Joseph, Devin, and Alexander are tending to their reward win while Kenny, Matthew, and Kayley are off collecting wood.
Jordan: “I wanted to talk to you because I think you’re one of the few people on this tribe that actually has a mind for his own. Last tribal, you probably voted Shayla because your alliance told you, I understand that, but you should realize that your alliance doesn’t give a s*** about you.”
Rhameen: “Why do you say that?”
Jordan: “O.K. think… a couple days ago when it was time for the vote, who did you talk to the entire time?”
Rhameen: “You.”
Jordan: “Exactly. The only, and I mean only, time they even wanted to talk to you was when they needed your vote. Look, merge is soon, and from what I hear Alexis and Lisa have closer people to align with than you. But look at me. I don’t have anyone.”
Jordan: “We need to get Lisa and talk to her sometime.”
Rhameen: “Yeah I can get her now.”
Rhameen goes and gets Lisa who was sitting by herself while Alexis and Nicole were sitting on the tanning rock. Rhameen and Lisa have a chat while walking to meet Jordan.
Lisa: “What’s this about?”
Rhameen: “He has us a deal. It doesn’t sound too bad.”
Lisa: *laughs* “We’ll see about that.”
Lisa and Rhameen arrive and Jordan tells her his and Rhameen’s plans.
Lisa: “Well, it’s definitely something to think about.”
Matthew: “I’ve been thinking. What if you, me and Kayley had a little alliance thing going? I think Rosie being out of it would keep Kayley more interested. I think those three guys are unbreakably tight.”
Kenny: “I’ve wanted to ask you the same question.”
They both laugh and carry on.
On the beach, Kayley starts talking to the guys.
Kayley: “Those two have been getting really close lately.”
Alexander: “I’ve noticed that.”
Kayley: “Yesterday, he caught up to me and Kenny in the woods and apologized for being mad at us. After that, Kenny hasn’t left his side.”
Matthew and Kenny get out of the water and head back to camp.
*~IMMUNITY CHALLENGE~* Day 17
Jeff tells them to come in and takes immunity back from Aoba. Today’s Immunity Challenge is gets pretty physical. For this challenge, two people from each tribe will maneuver through several obstacles to get to a bag. In that bag are two balls. Both tribe members will shoot their balls into a small basket. The first team to get one of their balls in gets a point for their tribe. The first team to get to three points wins immunity.
The first team up is Devin & Alexander vs. Alexis & Rhameen. On Jeff’s go, both teams start off and go through the obstacles.
Jeff: “Rhameen dragging Alexis through this course!”
Rhameen and Alexis get to their bag first, but Devin and Alexander are close behind. Rhameen and Alexis get back, both shoot, and both miss. They both go to retrieve their balls. Devin and Alexander come back with their balls. Alexander misses, but Devin makes it!
Jeff: “Devin scores a point for Aoba! One to zip.”
Up next is Kenny & Kayley vs. Jordan & Nicole.
Kenny and Kayley take the lead after Nicole trips and falls. Kenny and Kailey get their balls first, but both miss. Jordan and Nicole get their balls, but it’s too late because Kayley made her basket.
Jeff: “Two Aoba, Zip Sibu! Aoba, if you win this round, you win the challenge.”
The next four up are Matthew & Joseph vs. Lisa & Rhameen. Rhameen drags Lisa like he dragged Alexis, but Lisa tells him to slow down. Matthew and Joseph get to their bag first, but Lisa and Rhameen get their soon after. Joseph shoots his ball and misses. Matthew shoots his ball and makes the shot!
Jeff: “Aoba wins Immunity unanimously!”
The Aoba tribe cheers while the Sibu tribe is silent.
Jeff: “Aoba, come get it.”
The Aoba tribe gets their immunity and Jeff send Sibu back empty handed.
Lisa: *laughs* “It’s more like what didn’t you do. Please tell me when and where was the last time you talked to me.”
Alexis: “… early yesterday?”
Lisa: “You’re right. Early yesterday. And what was it about?”
Alexis: “Hey, I’m not going to sit here and be antagonized by you!”
Lisa: “I’m not antagonizing you. I’m trying to prove a point! Remember on Day 3 when we promised we’d always be each other’s #1? How we’d tell each other everything we know about the game?”
Alexis: “Yeah.”
Lisa: “Well it only took you a tribe switch to break that promise. Once you met Nicole, you acted like I died.”
Alexis: “Lisa, if you still don’t think you’re my #1 you’re wrong. As for why I hang out with Nicole it’s because I think we have a lot in common.”
Lisa: “So I’m still your #1?”
Alexis: “Of course! Just because I spend more time with Nicole doesn’t mean I trust her the most. You’re being too paranoid Lisa.”
Lisa: “So what should me and Rhameen do vote wise?”
Alexis: “We all should just keep with the domino effect and vote Jordan. I think merge is soon and Nicole is a number for us. I think Jordan has other people who would be happy to work with him.”
Before tribal, Lisa and Rhameen meet to discuss the vote.
Lisa: “Are you set on voting Nicole?”
Rhameen: “I mean, I’ll do whatever you think it smartest. I don’t want to just vote Nicole for personal reasons. I want to vote for the person that would benefit our game.”
Everyone enters and sets down their torches. Jeff starts to ask questions.
Jeff: “Rhameen, today you guys didn’t score one point at the Immunity challenge. Moving forward, how do you plan on improving your performance as a tribe?”
Rhameen: “I think all we can do is try our best. I can’t answer for everyone, but I try my best in every challenge.”
Jeff: “Nicole, has the lack of challenge wins caused any tension in the tribe?”
Nicole: “Not really. After Shayla and Lea left, tribe life has been amazing. There have been no fights, and I don’t have to worry about two crazy people jumping down my throat if I breathe a certain way.”
Jeff: “Do you agree Jordan?”
Jordan: “I would have to agree. Things have been a lot more laid back with those two gone. As for challenges, some are stronger than others, but performance is the last thing I care about voting wise.”
Jeff: “What do you think Jordan means by that Alexis?”
Alexis: “Um… I think he means that alliances are the most important. Challenge performance isn’t as important when it comes to the vote.
Jordan nods.
Jeff: “What are you basing your vote on tonight, Lisa?”
Lisa: “I’m basing my vote on what I think is the smartest for me and me only. That’s all.”
Jordan and Alexis stare at her. Rhameen laughs.
Jeff: “O.K. Time to vote. Nicole, you’re up.”
Everyone gets up and votes.
Nicole holds up her vote that says Jordan. “Hopefully Alexis pulls through again.”
Jordan holds up his vote that says Nicole. “I really hope Lisa has a brain and flips on Alexis.”
Lisa holds up her vote. “Sorry. I really tried.”
Jeff tallies the votes.
Jeff: “If anyone has a Hidden Immunity Idol and wants to play it, not would be the time to do so…”
No one stands.
Jeff: “Once the votes are read the decision is final. The person voted out will be asked to leave the tribal council area immediately, I’ll read the votes.”
Jeff: “First vote, Nicole.”
Nicole sticks out her tonge.

Jeff: “And the fifth person voted out of Survivor: Futuna, Jordan. Please bring me your torch.”
Jordan nods; Nicole breathes a sign of relief. Alexis grabs Lisa’s hand.
Jeff: “Jordan, the tribe has spoken. *Snuffs torch.* Time for you to go.”
Jordan waves goodbye.
Jeff: “In two tribal councils, you’ve lost three people. The last four challenges, you lost all four. I suggest you figure out what’s not working and make it work. Head back to camp, goodnight.”
(Exit Interview) Jordan: I saw that coming. Lisa has too much faith in Alexis and Rhameen does whatever Lisa tell him to. I hope Alexander and Devin the best of luck on the other tribe.”
~*VOTES*~
Alexis - Jordan
Jordan - Nicole
Lisa - Jordan
Nicole - Jordan
Rhameen – Jordan
~*Next Time On Survivor*~
- The tribes merge!
- Old friendships come back together.
- One castaway goes to the extreme to get their target out.
LMAO I read this on my iPod earlier and I am crying @ Lea quitting SHE HAD SO MUCH POTENTIAL.
But I'm pretty sure Nicole is one of my favourite characters of all TIME so I hope she thrives. And I want an original Aoba + Nicole alliance to knock out the original Sibu men to be honest, even though the original Aobas are MESSY AS FUCK (Kayley and Rhameen are good examples)
Rhameen began the season as a total OTTN drama queen but he's majorly toned down to UTR, so I hope his negative edit and confrontations w/ Kayley pick up again since I like Rhameen as a Shamar-like character who nobody likes but keep around essentially as a goat.
Kenny seems to have all the right attributes but I don't think he's been developed enough whereas Matthew is a bit more complex and is currently beginning a potentially underdog redemption arc.
