Galu - Brett, Kelly, Russell H., Marisa, Russell S., Liz, John, Monica, Dave, Betsy
We start with the aftermath of the last Tribal Council, where Ashley changed her vote to Ben in order to avoid the Purple Rock tiebreaker. She tries to explain to Erik and the rest of her alliance that she was still with them; she just didn't want to risk a chance of her going home just to save Ben, especially this early in the game. Erik, Jaison, and Mick let her back in, but they are still outnumbered.
Later, Erik and Ashley discuss that they should keep their relationship secret, because this will help them strategically.
Meanwhile, on Galu, Russell H. is up to his own tricks. He dumps the water out of everyone's canteens and even burns Dave's socks, in order to make his tribe more easily manipulated. He then proceeds to make several "secret" alliances with Liz, Marisa, Monica, and Betsy, promising them all Finanl 2.
Brett also forms his own group with Monica and Kelly, and they form a Final 3 pact. Monica doesn't tell them about her alliance with Russell, in order to keep her options open.
Galu wins the Reward Challenge, and Jeff introduces the twist to the season. The leader of the winning tribe will send one player to the other tribe, where they will receive a clue to the hidden immunity idol. Brett chooses to send his ally Kelly.
Back at the Galu camp, Russell H. tries his own search for the hidden immunity idol, since he knows there must be one at his camp. However, he is unsuccessful, so he tries the next best thing. Russell talks to Brett and tries to convince Brett to send him to Foa Foa if they win the next Reward Challenge. Brett is reluctant, since he doesn't trust Russell, but he agrees so Russell will get off his case.
On Foa Foa, the alliance that voted off Ben (Mike, Laura, Natalie, Shambo, and Yasmin) starts to become power-hungry. After hearing the twist this season, they suggest to each other that one of their alliance should be Tribe Leader, so they can control who gets sent to the other tribe. Thus, they choose to target Ashley, the current Foa Foa leader, at the next Tribal Council.
At the immunity challenge, Galu wins again, which forces Foa Foa to Tribal Council again.
The Foa Foa alliance mentioned earlier continues to discuss amongst themselves, but this time they start to talk about who the new leader should be after Ashley is voted off. Yasmin nominates Shambo, while Natalie nominates Laura. Mike is indifferent. Shambo and Laura then get into a fierce argument about who should make the better leader, with nothing getting resolved.
Erik, then, sees his opening. Later that day, he approaches Laura with an offer to off Shambo. He says that if she does so, then they will vote off Ashley the following Tribal Council. Laura declines the offer, saying she doesn't want to backstab her alliance, despite her argument with Shambo.
So Erik decides to go the other way and talks to Shambo with the same offer. Shambo says that she can see the benefits to both plans of actions, and she tells Erik that she will make the decision at Tribal Council.
Tribal Council comes, and the votes are read:
1st vote - Ashley
2nd vote - Laura

Today I made up an alternate reality for Survivor: Samoa, with different tribes, and then made up the voting history. I'll be posting it here one vote-off at a time.
Tribes started with the two youngest players (Ashley & Brett) picking the two tribes, and each subsequent player picking the next, alternating gender.
Original Foa Foa (in the order picked)
1. Ashley
2. Mick
3. Shambo
4. Erik
5. Natalie
6. Jaison
7. Yasmin
8. Ben
9. Laura
10. Mike
Original Galu:
1. Brett
2. Kelly
3. Russell H.
4. Marisa
5. Russell S.
6. Liz
7. John
8. Monica
9. Dave
10. Betsy
Foa Foa win the first reward challenge, but then lose to Galu in the immunity challenge.
Mike is seen as the weakest player; even though he works hard around camp, he cannot compete well in the challenges. Ben and Mick create an alliance to get him out, and Mick is also able to bring in Jaison to the group.
Meanwhile, Erik and Ashley begin to develop a relationship, and they create a Final 2 deal. Ben, Mick, and Jaison try to bring them into the alliance, as well.
Mike, apparently, saw it coming that he would be viewed as a weak player from the start. He tries to work his way into an alliance, starting with Laura.
Mike tells Laura that if he goes, then it's likely that Ben's alliance will vote her off next. Laura agrees.
Laura then tries to seek out a couple other votes to make it work... she is able to get Natalie and Shambo.
Meanwhile, Ben is starting to get on Yasmin's nerves, through his derogatory comments that may be somewhat sexist and/or racist. Yasmin starts to talk to Shambo, and Shambo says that there was already a plan to get rid of Ben, and they could use an extra vote. Yasmin, however, despite really wanting to get rid of Ben, is worried about a tie vote and a Purple Rock tiebreaker.
Tribal Council arrives and the votes are read:
1st vote - Mike
2nd vote - Mike
3rd vote - Ben
4th vote - Ben
5th vote - Mike
6th vote - Ben
7th vote - Ben
8th vote - Mike
9th vote - Mike
10th vote - Ben
And it's a tie! Jeff calls the players up for a revote. This time Ben and Mike do not vote:
1st vote - Ben
2nd vote - Mike
3rd vote - Ben
4th vote - Mike
5th vote - Ben
6th vote - Mike
...
...
7th vote - Ben
8th vote - Ben!
Yasmin ultimately decided not to change her vote, but (surprise!), Ashley did!

Who will be voted off next? And who will win this alternate-reality Survivor: Samoa?
I just died in my Survivor game. =( Right before the merge too, which makes it somewhat disappointing.
Anyway, I want to know how long I have to wait before I'll be completely healthy to join another Survivor game. I mean, Health at 100% and my food/water at 100/100.
It seems like no matter what random thing people post on a blog, a bunch of people will agree no matter what (often with a "PLEASE PLUS MAI BLOG/DESIGN!!") added to it.
Are people just sucking up or do most people seriously lack any original opinion?
I'm getting 8 T$ for my 7th place in Rookies once it finishes, so that means if I get 3rd or better in my Casting then I can finally join a Survivor! :D
