{LUZON CAMP, POST-TRIBAL}
*The tribe walks back to the camp, well-lit by the moon. Nick, Emily, and Francesca share a smile. Nick also pats Zach on the back and whispers "You made the right choice, buddy"*
Zach confessional: It wasn't an easy choice, voting Skippy out like that. He was a good ally, and i'm aware that i'm the fourth wheel when it comes to Francesca, Emily, and Nick, but I wasn't going to risk a tie. I'm not going to leave my fate in this game up to chance. So, I took it upon myself to make some new allies.
Natalie con: Well, Zach flipped. I think a part of me is happy we didn't have to go to rocks, but the fact is that i'm officially on the bottom here. Ideally Skippy would still be in this game, but Zach flipped. Maybe I should have flipped too. All I can hope for now is either an idol or a good immunity performance.
{LUZON CAMP, MORNING}
*Emily fills up Nick's canteen with salt water with an Emily Grin. Nick drinks the water and spits it out intentionally on Emily*
Francesca con: I'm not dumb, I realize how close Emily and Nick are, and I realize how big of a problem that will be down the road. But the fact is right now, that they're my good friends and good allies. Way down the road they'll have to be split up, but for now, i'm remaining loyal to them.
Zach con: It'd be a good idea to try and swing Francesca and vote Emily or Nick out. But frankly, I don't think Francesca would be down for a move like that, and if that duo hears i'm conspiring against them, i'll be out next for sure. It's best I just bide my time for now.
*The 3 tribes head over to the Reward Challenge. This challenge requires tribes to, one by one, race along slim, wet balance boards in the water to different stations in order to collect 8 different dual-sided letter cards. Then, the person who did not run for the pieces, must use the pieces to spell out a Survivor-related word. The winners of immunity will get 2 live chickens for first place and 12 eggs for second place. Solving the puzzle: Fed, Emily, and Emeri. Addison and Hannah struggle for Aparri at first due to wanting to go so fast. Nathan excels at the challenge, while Luzon tends to take their time. Solana collects all their puzzle pieces first, and Luzon then Aparri get theirs soon after. The challenge turns into a large word-unscramble, and Emily manages to solve it fairly fast, landing Luzon in first place. Emeri and Fed take a decent amount longer, and Emeri especially struggles with it. Eventually Fed figures it out, earning 12 eggs for Aparri. Solana goes back to camp empty-handed*
{SOLANA CAMP, POST-CHALLENGE}
*Moral is pretty low around camp. The Triad sits droopily by the fire, while Emeri and Courtney nap in the shelter*
Nathan: Guys, we can't keep losing like this.
Aaron: Yeah I agree, and we all know how to fix the problem.
All together: Emeri.
Josh: She does nothing around camp, she contributes little in challenges, and she's just not pleasant to be around.
Nathan: Well, what do you say we do something about it?
Josh: What do you mean?
Nathan: Well, all i'm saying is, this tribe would be a lot better off if Emeri weren't on it. And I mean, we easily have the numbers to make this dream come true.
Josh: You mean, you want to throw the challenge and vote her off?
Nathan: *grin* Would you be down for it?
Josh con: It's typically a rule of thumb to never throw the challenge in Survivor. But Emeri is seriously dragging us down, maybe it's something to be considered.
Josh: I'm in.
Aaron: Yeah, me too.
{APARRI CAMP}
Jared con: Being out here isn't the most fun. I'm sunburnt, i'm tired, i'm sore. Getting these eggs are the best thing to happen out here so far haha
*Addison and Hannah sit in the shelter. Jared naps nearby*
Addison: Listen Hannah, i've been thinking- don't rewards usually come with idol clues nowadays? I haven't seen one. Think someone might have gotten to it first?
Hannah: Well, let's take a look
*Hannah crawls over to Fed's bag, riffles through it, and steals her and Michelle's idol clues*
Hannah: Addison, quick! Go check the egg carton! See if it came with one!
*Addison runs over to the egg carton and finds nothing*
Addison: Nothing here, someone might've got one.
Hannah: We have to move. Quick. We have an idol to find. Jared! Up and at them!
Jared, drowzily: You go ahead, i'll stay behind and make sure no wild jaguars come and eat the eggs.
*Hannah and Addison bolt off in separate directions. Addison looks mainly among jagged rocks and comes up empty, but Hannah finds the idol wedged under a stone up on a high cliff*
Hannah: YES! WOOOOH!
Hannah con: I'm 100% loyal to Jared and Addison.. but this idol can stay safe with me. It'll be the edge I need down the road. I'll just speculate to Addison that Fed or Michelle must have it.
*The 3 tribes then go off to the Immunity Challenge. Survivors must travel along an obstacle course while attached to a carabiner on a wire, collecting balls as they go. The person at the end then has to shoot the balls ski-ball style into a large net. First two tribes to get 5 balls in win immunity. Jared will throw for Aparri, Zach for Luzon, and Nathan for Solana. As usual, Addison and Hannah make short work of the obstacles, getting Aparri an early lead. Natalie gets tripped up a couple times, slowing Luzon down, but Josh and Aaron seem to struggle greatly on a few segments of the course. Aparri gets to their balls first, and manage to make all 5 in not too long after Luzon arrives at the ball-throwing segment. Solana makes it to the end not too long after Luzon. After Nathan misses shot after shot, Luzon takes second place, sending Solana to tribal council*
{SOLANA CAMP, POST-CHALLENGE)
*Emeri immediately storms off on her own. Courtney is seen talking to Nathan, solidifying the vote for Emeri*
Courtney con: I think it's a really easy vote tonight. No one wants Emeri here. With the control I have over Nathan, and by extent all the guys, I feel perfectly safe just voting her out.
Emeri con: Look like they're all going to get their way. Honestly there's no chance i'm staying tonight. If i'm going out I may as well smack them on my way out the door.
*Emeri waits until she's alone, then dumps out a majority of Solana's rice into the ocean. She dusts off her hands, then goes back to laying in the shelter*
*Nathan, carrying firewood, walks up and instantly notices the lack of rice. He puts two and two together and runs his hands through his hair*
Nathan: Really, Emeri? How much of a child can you possibly be?
Emeri: What's the matter, wonder boy? Your alliance not good at hunting?
Nathan. Wow. Just wow. Well, Emeri, I can't say i'm not looking forward to tonight.
Nathan con: Emeri is done for and she knows it. Honestly the best thing we all can do right now is just ignore her, not give her the attention she wants.
*The Triad and Courtney sit on the beach. Emeri yells at them from the shelter*
Emeri: Well folks, looks like my time in the Philippines is coming to a close! Fakeney and her marionettes are coming after me! Someone sound the coconut alarm!
Nathan: She is just ridiculous.
*Night falls and Solana goes to Tribal Council*
Jeff: Nathan, what happened today in the challenge? I mean, you're usually a pretty strong asset to the tribe when it comes to challenges!
Nathan: Well Jeff, we work pretty hard in this pretty hot sun. Maybe sometimes we get a little tired.
*Jeff stares for a second*
Jeff: Surely, that can't be all?
Nathan: Well, Jeff, let me put it this way: Every now and again in Survivor, there have come a few times when... ya know..... maybe going to tribal isn't the worst possible thing in the world.
Jeff: Nathan, let me be clear- did you throw the challenge?
Nathan: Now Jeff, i'm not going to comment on that either way.
*Emeri rolls her eyes*
Emeri: Cut the crap. At least own up to your crap moves when you make them. Jeff, the fact here is, Courtney's got Nathan all nice and tight on a little leash while she barks orders at him and his little bro alliance. They threw the challenge to get rid of me today. And you know what? Maybe it's for their best. Because I swear to you, if we merged today, I wouldn't just flip on these people; I'd go out of my way, give all my effort to see these airheads voted out first. You've all got your heads stuck up your asses and frankly it will be an honor to get away from you all.
Jeff:........ Anyone care to add onto that?
Nathan: People tend to say a lot of things when they know they're out of the game.
Courtney: I think it shows a lot of immaturity on Emeri's part tonight.
Jeff: Well, with all that out in the air, let's get on with the vote. Josh, you're up first.
*The survivors all vote, one by one. Courtney's vote for Emeri is shown, and Emeri's vote for Courtney is shown*
Jeff: I'll go get the votes.
*Comes back with a decorative pot*
Jeff: If anyone has an idol and wants to play it, now would be the time to do so.
*The tribe sits silently*
Jeff: I'll read the votes.
Emeri: Cut the crap. At least own up to your crap moves when you make them. Jeff, the fact here is, Courtney's got Nathan all nice and tight on a little leash while she barks orders at him and his little bro alliance. They threw the challenge to get rid of me today. And you know what? Maybe it's for their best. Because I swear to you, if we merged today, I wouldn't just flip on these people; I'd go out of my way, give all my effort to see these airheads voted out first. You've all got your heads stuck up your asses and frankly it will be an honor to get away from you all.
