Previously On… SURVIVOR :
check the #SurvivorJapan hashtag.
Jonas got out cuz he tried taking out his only ally, Colleen, and his social skills basically made the decision easy.
Tyra twists her ankle during a challenge and loses immunity, but her strategic skills outweighed her inability to do challenges anymore, making the vote on her, despite Cloé’s attempts to save her.
Leaving Jazz in the dark… again. And Barbie close to the bottom.

*TRIBE YAHN*
-Jazz storms into the shelter, and flips her hair-
Jazz, CF - YET AGAIN……… I'm on the bottom, in the dark, minority is my nickname, cuz people keep LYING… but… Colleen told me… Suppress my anger. Mask my anger. Calm down…
Jazz - Who flipped.
Jazz, CF - So.. I'll call people out quietly.
Barbie - I’m mad too, sister.
Jazz - You're supposed to be gone, sister. That was the PLAN.
Colleen, CF - Jazz has gone bonkers again and I'm starting to realize a pattern… she is crazy about everything, like… I was just as in the minority as her, but I kept my cool… she's just too angry… it's scary. But, I think at this point… all the girls know what to do…. the boys are catching up to us. If we lose 2 more females… it'll be almost even. I think an all girls alliance might have to start… my problem is… Clarissa. For tribals we've been saying it's either one of us… Could it finally be time? We’ll see. I don't know actually. But, when you expect it the least, you're usually the one at Ponderosa the next day, so… I'm watching my back.
[SURVIVOR : JAPAN.]
*ON THE BEACH*
-Cloé is tanning, all alone-
Cloé, CF - I did everything to save my best friend Tyra… everything failed. I'm realizing my mistake was I put the vote on Barbie… I should've put the vote on Jazz. What I wanted to happen was Barbie go to Eric about Jazz and then Eric and their alliance flips and takes Jazz out, but… guess I missed my shot. I really want Tyra to stay with maybe even no votes casted against her… I tried my hardest. Now, I tan alone.
-Robb goes up to Cloé-
Robb - Babe…
Cloé - I tried. I failed. It's over. You guys won. I get it.
Robb - It’s not about that.
Cloé sits up - What is it, then? I'm with you guys 1000%, I tried to save my friend ONCE, it failed, it's not going against you guys or anything, it was a last ditch effort to save my friend.
Robb - I just wanted to say… us going after Tyra was us going after Tyra. She has had too much power recently and could've won. It wasn't going after you… at all.
Cloé - I know, but I don't want to talk about this. I just want to be alone.
Robb - Don’t be mad.
Cloé - I’m not mad. Just lost a friend. And want to be alone.
Robb, CF - Cloé is a very important number for me, and now that we got rid of her best friend, she's a bit… mad and sad. And I need to damage control that for my personal game… Cuz really... I want to make a pretty big move sooner rather than later, and I need her to pull it off.
Robb whispers - Harry is who wanted to take Tyra out first… Not me.
Cloé whispers - Why does that matter?
Robb whispers - Don't you want to avenge her?
Robb, CF - Since the swap I realized me and Harry strategically are very close. We both have our similar social game, we both have numbers from the girls side… overall, he's just a dangerous guy.
Cloé whispers - Is it a good idea to take out our ally so soon?
Robb - Why not?
Cloé, CF - The idea of taking Harry out… is pretty satisfying! But, I don't like following plans, I wish it was my own plan, but if I let Robb take the heat on this one, I can just blindside him after and keep female strong!
Cloé - Numbers might be a problem. I think Clarissa and Colleen are already trying to take each other out again this round. We'd need to flip them or make sure no one is on board their train… plus Barbie and Jazz now are after each other. We need to be super careful this goes in our favor.
Robb, CF - Strategically Cloé is… Insanely smart, and I do need to handle her eventually… but for now… we're both pretending to be all good and on the same team… but we are well aware of each other, and know that… it's just the calm before the storm.
Robb - If we get you, me, Eric, and hopefully Colleen and Barbie… that's majority no matter what.
Cloé - But i think we can assume Barbie votes Jazz and Colleen votes Clarissa. What about maybe Madison?
Robb - I think she's closer to Harry than you'd expect.
Cloé, CF - Madison’s relationship with Harry is a bit stronger than I really want it to be… it makes me worried she may choose him over me… and that's really scary… so I want and need this blindside to work, so… I can keep my friend as MY friend, not his.
*IN THE BEACH*
-Cloé is taking a walk, thinking about the numbers-
Madison goes up to Cloé - Hey, how ya doing?
Cloé - Good…
Madison - What’s wrong?
Cloé - Just… thinking. About the immunity… Who do you want out next tribal?
Madison - No one’s even won immunity yet, don't get eager, beaver!
Cloé - I just think… it's top 9. We need to think LONG TERM.
Madison, CF - Cloé’s message came through to me loud and clear… we gotta take out the best players here who'd win, instead of thinking petty… it's obvious who she's talking about…. Robb. I'm ready to make the move, and just go for it. Assuming he doesn't win immunity.
Madison - I hear you, loud and clear!
Cloé - Really?!
Madison - Uh huh!
Cloé - Wow, okay, great!
Cloé, CF - Our unspoken bond really worked well, I guess!!! I'm good at this!
*IMMUNITY CHALLENGE*
Jeff - Immunity back up for grabs, Cloé, i'll take it back!
Cloé - I guess you will. *hands it to him*
Jeff - This time… you're playing for immunity… and reward……….. the reward is something… special… Cloé, what do you want most in the world right now?
Cloé - … Oh my god… IS IT LOVED ONE'S TIME?!
-Robb covers his mouth in emotion-
-Colleen, Clarissa and Madison instantly start crying-
Jeff - It’s time to bring out… your loved ones. Robb, who do you think is here for you?
Robb - I have to assume my mom. My dad was going through major surgery right before I went out here… he can't drive or go on a plane yet… so yea… haha.
Jeff - Bring out… Robb's mother… MARTHA…
-Martha runs out to hug Robb-
Robb whispers - How’s dad?
Martha whispers - He’ll be fully recovered soon.
Jeff - What happened with your dad?
Robb - A week or two before I had to come out there was an accident… it was a huge car accident, the car he was in got basically smashed in the side… the other car was texting while driving, my dad’s car basically flipped into a ditch… honestly, everyone thought he had no chance, but… he did it. He needs a few more surgeries to fully recover, but… Most people would say me not sticking by him was selfish or something… I know this was what he’d have wanted. Him surviving in that condition was one in a million, this is once in a lifetime… and I don't have any regrets. If I win this money, he'll know it was for him, and one of the last things him and my mom told me was to not drop out, and to win it… for them. *wipes tears away*
-Martha hugs Robb and walks over to the other side of the island, onto a platform-
Jeff - Next up… Cloé… who do you think is here for you?
Cloé, crying - My dad?
Jeff - BRUCE, GET OUT HERE!
Cloé cries and runs towards her dad - DADDY.
-Bruce lifts her up in his arms-
Bruce - I've missed you.
Cloé cries - I love you.
Jeff - An emotional reconnection. What triggers this emotional response, Cloé?
Cloé cries - My parents divorced… i used to live with my mom til I moved to California all by myself… I hardly get to see him… it's a good reminder of how much family means to see him for the first time in like… a year… I'm so happy. *cries and hugs him*
Bruce - You're doing amazing.
Cloé cries - I wouldn't be here if it wasn't for you.
-Bruce runs over to the platform-
Jeff - Madison… let's bring out… your sister, Julia!
Madison - OH MY GOD!!! AHHH!
-Julia runs out and hugs Madison-
Madison - YESSS!
Julia - WHAT’S GOOD
Jeff - What’s Julia to you?
Madison - Julia is my sister, but really is my best friend… we do everything together… when my dad had to go through surgery for cancer, she was there for me… she's my older sister, she's my rock… yeah! It means a lot. Just… a lot. *cries and hugs Julia*
Julia - win it.
Jeff - Next up, Harry! Who do you think it is?
Harry - My wife?
Jeff - COME OUT, MONA!!
-Mona runs out and jumps into Harry’s arms-
Harry - You’re why I'm doing this. I'm gonna win it.
Mona whispers - I know you are.
-They kiss-
Jeff - Next… Clarissa! Your DAD is here! Bobby comes out here!
Clarissa shrieks in tears - OH MY GOD! DADDY. -runs up to him and hugs him, in tears- I love you so much I miss you so much.
-Colleen rolls her eyes, wiping tears away-
Jeff - Clarissa, you are UNABLE to control yourself right now.
Clarissa cries - When I went into med school… it was cuz… -starts bawling, basically can't speak-
Bobby, crying - Her older sister died. In a car accident. Clarissa was with her and in the hospital when the doctors couldn't save her… she felt hopeless. She felt as if she couldn't do anything. When she went into the medical field, I knew that the fear of failure would always haunt her… but I stayed supportive because I knew that she's special and that if she didn't do it… she'd be empty inside…. when she decided to do Survivor… it was hard, but I stayed supportive. I know she can do great things… to help her get there, is the biggest gift in this world.
Clarissa cries - I love you. *hugs him again*
-Madison wipes tears away-
Jeff - Jazz, who's out here for you?
Jazz - MY MAMMA.
Jeff - JENIFER GET OUT HERE!
Jenifer runs out - JAZZZMINEEEEEEEEEE!
Jazz - MOMMY! -runs into Jenifer’s arms- I LOVE YA, BOO.
Jeff - Any story with you two?
Jazz - She’s just… the best human being I've ever met in my life. She's the survivor superfan not me… she just has given me everything in this world…. I realize that a million dollars wouldn't be enough to repay what she's done for me. She’s why I'm doing this and I'm beyond happy to still be in… to see her, to win for her. All of it.
Jenifer - You got this, baby.
Jeff - Colleen, your sister is here to see you! Mary, come out here!
-Mary runs to Colleen-
Colleen - MARY! -hugs her-
Mary - You gotta win.
Colleen wipes her tears away - When our parents divorced and my grandparents died… she was my rock. When I was struggling with law school and my living space… She was my financial support and living space… she’s done so much for me… i can’t begin to explain how much she means to me.. it’s amazing. She’s my hero.
-Mary hugs Colleen-
Jeff - Eric! Who do you think is here to see you?
Eric - My brother, Joshua.
Jeff - JOSH GET OUT HERE!
Eric - YESSSS! -runs to him, and hugs him- I LOVE YOU, BRO.
Joshua - Love you, too, bro.
Jeff - Finally, Barbie… Who do you think is here for you?
Barbie - MY MAID, CHERRI!
Jeff - Cherri! Get out here!
Barbie - AHHHHHH YES!!! -rubs towards Cherri- I LOVE YOU SO MUCH!
Cherri, in Spanish - I love you too, doll.
Barbie - I’m winning this comp for you.
Jeff - Now, everyone knows what they're playing for, let's find out what they're playing…You all must stack blocks in a tower on a wobbly platform. You have to pull on a rope to keep the table balanced while retrieving your blocks. The first one of you to stack their blocks to spell 'LOVED ONES' wins immunity. AND the night with your, and 3 other loved ones where you'll have drinks and snacks!
-Barbie flips her head back as soon as he says drinks and gives Cherri a thumbs up-
Jeff - Survivors ready? GO!
-They all start trying to strategize how to stack their blocks while holding the rope-
-Cloé is excelling at this challenge so far, grabbing her first block-
-Barbie is surprisingly balanced in this challenge, as is Jazz-
-Robb and Harry are closely behind all of them-
-Barbie comes back with her first letter-
-Cloé, Madison & Jazz closely behind-
Jeff - Shockingly strong performance from Barbie in this notably difficult competition! But any moment it can all… fall apart.
-Robb loses all his pieces-
Robb - SHOOT.
Martha - It’s okay, baby!
-Colleen is far behind, Clarissa is doing relatively okay, but slowly-
-Barbie is already on her second letter, very steadily too-
-Jazz is also excelling on this challenge-
Jeff - With the comp beast gone, seemingly this challenge is anybody’s game.
-Clarissa gets her first letter-
*ELAPSED TIME : 25 MINUTES*
-Everyone has 2 or 3 letters, Jazz, Barbie & Cloé have 5-
Jeff - Cloé, Jazz & Barbie have their first word done, everyone else is in the middle of the first word. The competition is so close, and people who've been known to fall short in other challenges are really stepping it up… it just shows how a little bit of love can change the… drive of the competition… it can really kick in the amount of blood, sweat and tears people put into the game.
-Madison’s 2 letters fall-
Madison - UGGGHHH…
Jeff - Madison may need to reevaluate her strategy.
Madison sighs - Obviously.
-All 5 of Cloé’s letters randomly fall-
Cloé - WHAT the ****?!
Bruce - Slow and steady, doll!
Jeff - Cloé has to start again.
-Noticing the gap starting to close Robb starts going quicker-
Jeff - Now it is really anyone's game!
-Barbie brings back her 6th letter, as Robb brings over his 4th-
Jeff - Barbie has 6, Jazz has 5, Robb has 4, rest scatter behind.
-Jazz brings back her 6th letter, but then on her way back everything collapses-
Jazz cries - NOOOOOOOOOOOOO.
-Barbie smiles, on her way to get her 7th letter-
-Robb is hurrying to get his 6th letter to officially close the gap, but then his letters collapse-
Robb - ****!!!!!!
-Barbie laughs a little, bringing back her 7th letter-
Jeff - Barbie needs ONE LETTER now, and if she can do it, she has no competition in this challenge… it's her’s to lose.
Barbie - Coming for ya, Cherri!
-Jazz is quickly back to 3, but that's when she looks over and sees Barbie bring back her 8th letter-
Barbie - AHHHHHH!!!
Jeff - BARBIE WINS IMMUNITY AND HER LOVED ONES REWARD!!
Barbie - OH MY GOD! -runs over to Cherri, in tears-
-Cloé & Madison’s jaws are dropped, in disbelief-
Jeff - Barbie, come over here. -puts the necklace around her neck- Your first immunity win!
Barbie - I know, I’m fab.
Jeff - Now, you got a big decision… Barbie, pick one other person to go on this reward with.
-Eric smiles, positive she’ll pick him-
Barbie smiles, manically, chuckling under her breath - …. Jazz!
-Jazz jaw drops, crying, and runs towards Jenifer-
Jenifer - OH MY GAWSH, BABY! -runs into Jazz’s arms-
Jeff - You get to pick 2 other pairs of loved ones.
Barbie - This is a huge decision…….
-Eric gets a little anxious-
Barbie - Clarissa and Colleen!
-Clarissa and Colleen stare, in shock-
Jeff - CLARISSA, COLLEEN, JAZZ, BARBIE, YOU WILL ALL BE ESCORTED, BY HELICOPTER, TO A SEPARATE ISLAND, WHERE YOU WILL ENJOY : SNACKS, DRINKS AND A SPA DAY!! With your FAMILY!
Robb whispers to Harry and Eric - You know what'll happen there.
Jeff - Rest of you… say goodbye to your loved ones.
-Eric hugs Joshua-
Eric whispers - Love you, bro.
-The loved ones all hug and say goodbye, Madison and Robb more emotional than others-
Robb - I love you so much..
Martha - You’ll win this.
-The loved ones walk away-
-Cloé and Madison hug each other, both crying-
Jeff - Emotional challenge… really explains what you're doing here. Head back to camp, the helicopter will be here momentarily to escort you 8 shortly.
-Cloé, Madison, Robb, Eric & Harry walk back to camp-
Eric, CF - Barbie is walking an extremely thin rope right now…. this was just petty. This game she just played was petty. I don't know her strategy in this, but I think this just proves…. she's not a player. She's a drama starter. I can't turn on her tonight… but she’s gained a really unnecessary target on her back. And I don't miss.
*ON THE REWARD BEACH*
-The helicopters fly down-
Barbie - AHHHH YAYYY!
Barbie, CF - This move was strictly strategic but it's really risky… like imagine this… the 2 pairs of rivals, team up to take out the REAL big threats. Like such as Robb or Harry… like if we can pull off a strong 4, no one will suspect it, we wouldn't have to tell nobody, we wouldn't have to even speak to each other, honestly if they think it's Colleen vs Clarissa again, it won't be unanimous, so 4 would technically be majority… it's fool proof. Just because my maid is here, doesn't mean I can't keep playing the game, my wheels are always turning to position myself better. I need to make big moves to win the game… that's what I'm doing.
*ON THE ISLAND FOR REWARD*
-Barbie pulls Colleen, Clarissa & Jazz to the side quickly-
Barbie - Before we start… chilling and stuff… I think you guys need to consider… banding together, while they think they have us beat, and forming an actual alliance, like.. no one would expect this 4, as we all fight a ton, and they think I did this for drama, you can tell… shouldn't we use that to our advantage, bond together, and make a big move?
Clarissa, CF - As soon as we get off the helicopter… Barbie quickly offers up actually a really amazing idea… in theory. My problem with that is… in a rival alliance with rivals… we are still all rivals. Can I trust Colleen? Even for one vote? I don't know honestly… this needs to be really secretive and lowkey… because if anyone catches on back at camp… I won’t risk anything.
Colleen - I really think strategically, we have to put our feelings aside and do this.
Clarissa, CF - Although Colleen is my nemesis, she isn't a liar. She's been really honest all season. That's for sure.
-Jazz rolls her eyes-
Jazz, CF - This is stupid. Really stupid. None of these bitches are loyal. Yeah, AS IF, bitch please. The only reason I may go along with this is cuz Robb and Harry for realz… Irk my damn nerve… like bye Felicia. I don't really care about majority unless it puts me in danger... and none of these plans do that, so… I'll play along, but this seems stupid and destined for failure.
*TRIBE YAHN*
-Cloé, Madison, Harry & Robb talk-
Cloé - I don't understand why they did that?
Harry - I don't think it makes any sense.. why didn't she at least pick Eric?
Cloé, CF - I understand Barbie is a bit unpredictable… but she brought the 3 most problematic people on the tribe to the reward trip with her, not to mention she has bad blood with Jazz… I am sorta conflicted… is this a strategic play or is she just trying to be a villain, a problematic villain? It really probably is just paranoia cuz… that alliance would never ever last, it'd be dead the second tribal. So, I won't worry too much, as long as they don't target me, maybe I'll just get into this girls alliance. We have a 6 to 3 advantage! Numerically it makes perfect sense to work with the rivals…. but for that to work, I'd have to make them think… there's not even a potential chance for there to be something going down… So I have to act!
Cloé - I think Barbie just likes to be drama and cause drama and all that. It's seriously petty and pathetic. But, that's Barbie!
Madison - Yeah, I wouldn't be shocked if it was just a pure petty fight starting type of deal.
Robb, CF - Hearing these girls undermine Barbie is sorta alarming, I don’t believe they even believe what they're saying, but they say it… and perception is reality. Maybe this will be their reality. Maybe Barbie is a good person to take to the end if they really think she's just that unstrategic and problematic.
*ON THE REWARD CHALLENGE*
-All the girls are in a hot tub, with glasses of alcohol-
Barbie - YASSSS!!!
Barbie, CF - Obviously i was gonna win a comp where I can get : A) alcoholic beverages. B) Barbie fun spa time AND C) Cherri. It's the ABC’s of a fun time!
Jazz - Thank you SO MUCH, Barbie girl!!!
Jenifer - I’m super grateful, thank you Barbie!
-Colleen laughs-
Colleen, CF - I am sorta biting my tongue extra hard today to assure this plan works. Clarissa, since last time, has gathered some numeric ammunition, so this rival alliance HAS to work, or I’m toast. With the s**t I tried to pull last vote, I’m lucky to still be here, so… this alliance has to work out… honestly. And to do so, I have to act… okay with this… stupid stuff. It could very well save me, and could very well put Clarissa on a higher pedestal than I am right now.
-Colleen walks to the bar to get more to drink, Mary follows-
Colleen, sitting at the bar - I am SO HAPPY you're here.
Mary - Okay, how do you REALLY feel about them?
Colleen - Oh my god, they’re so awful. I honestly hate all of them.
Mary - Oh my god! -starts laughing- What’s wrong with them?
Colleen - Girl! You know I wasn't going to get along with these people.
Mary, CF - Colleen has NEVER been a social person…
Mary - Are you gonna be good though? Should we go back?
Colleen - Meh, I’m pretty sure if I'm screwed, it won't matter if I talk to my SISTER or not. But yeah. -whispers- Clarissa is a fake bitch.
Mary - Oh I can tell! -walks back-
Mary, CF - But, I have faith, she’ll overcome the odds… and do AMAZING. -chuckles-
*THAT NIGHT*
-They all go into their separate hotel rooms-
-Jazz cries, hugging Jenifer-
Jazz, crying into Jenifer’s shoulder - I am so happy I got to see you again…. I need you. I was wrong… i’ll always need you.
Jenifer, CF - Jazzmine has always been an independent person… this experience, she was set out to prove she can survive by herself for 39 days… to see her vulnerable like that… I was shocked.
Jenifer - I’m always here, baby… just… 9 more days, baby, 9 more days.
Jenifer, CF - Jazz got in a car accident, like, 3 years ago, and ever since then… always felt the need to prove… she can do stuff… on her own. She doesn't NEED anybody else.. Survivor was to prove that… and I think she's proving she's capable, but I think she's also proving that… the toughest of minds have a breaking point and need to show… vulnerability. I am going to try to preach that into her mind.
Jenifer - Jazz… God is always with you. Your DAD is always with you… -puts her hand on Jazz’s heart- In HERE….
Jazz cries - I love you mommy.
Jenifer whispers - It’s okay be vulnerable…. it's okay to cry… sometimes.
Jazz, CF - My mom… she raised me. I lost a dad. Almost died in a car crash. God gave me a third, fourth, fifth chance… I'm going to persevere and win this. God gave me the strength… My mom gave me the courage.. to go out there and finish this.
*THE NEXT MORNING, DAY 31, THE HOTEL*
-All the girls leave their rooms and get ready to go back-
Barbie hugs Cherri - Thank you so much.
Cherri, in Spanish - I will feed your dog and kids. They miss you.
Barbie flips her hair and wipes a tear away - Tell them I'm not coming back empty handed… HAHAHAHAHAAH!
-Clarissa kisses Bobby goodbye-
Clarissa, CF - Seeing my dad come and go reminds me that he is supportive of me and always will be and I need to… pull through and get this done… I think this alliance is the right path to do so.
-Their loved ones all get taken away on a jet plane-
Clarissa, wiping tears away - Us 4… I actually think can work.
Colleen, CF - For some reason… when Clarissa said “I think us 4 can work” was when I realized… I trust it. We all were watching our loved ones… fly away. It was our most vulnerable… emotional… states. I don't cry of course, I cried when they got here, but that was it, grown bitches don't cry. We mask. But, Clarissa was so raw and real the way she said it… I think that really confirmed… I'm gonna roll with this alliance and see if it positions myself in a final 4 position! I’m here for this enemy rival alliance. No one will suspect A THING and that's how I like my alliances.
Barbie - Since when we get back to camp we have to be lowkey about our interactions let's just finalize a vote now.
Clarissa - Why not Robb? He can easily win this thing if we don't have him handled.
Colleen - Harry would be the safer bet, but if we can pull of a split vote on their side, Robb is the bigger threat, so… it could work. It'd just be risky and maybe we should just do Harry, where we can easily get Cloé’s vote against, while I feel Madison is too close to both Harry AND ROBB.
Clarissa - Yeah, I think we’ll have to discuss this more on the DL as the day goes on, and at tribal do like… a mouthing thing where we decide officially.
Colleen, CF - As a lawyer, my capability to construe logic into the situation is superb. I think Robb is a bigger threat, but Harry is a safer bet, so… if I hear anything, I'm running straight to Barbie, our cult leader essentially. And she’ll fix it… our alliance isn't well planned or organized. But, big moves could be made this upcoming tribal, and seeing Mary made me realize… if I'm not playing hard, I'm not playing. Its strategy time.
*TRIBE YAHN*
-Everyone gets back to camp-
Barbie, CF - I know everyone will probably be pissed at me, and I kinda need them to? I can't let them know this was a game move, they need to think it was petty, cuz… at rewards, usually… sometimes people deny this, but 9 out of 10… rewards are a high source of strategy time…. I'm a strategic player.
Barbie runs right over to Eric and whispers - I picked the WRONG people.
Eric, CF - Barbie instantly is like “I picked the wrong people” and I'm like… bitch, I told you.
Eric - Bitch, I told you!
Barbie - It was… bad decision making. Sorry.
Eric, CF - I don't forgive Barbie. Not one bit. But, I can't be too petty and I have to be strategic. Not personal.
Eric - What do you think about their dynamics?
Barbie - They all hate each other… that's for sure.
Barbie, CF - The plan is to just make it be known there is NO SHOT at ANY POTENTIAL at ANYTHING happening between the loved ones 4. We need to make them all think that me and Jazz want each other out and Clarissa and Colleen want each other one. The more names thrown, the more chance of us 4 being a majority there is.
Barbie - I want Jazz out… 5000%, but Clarissa and Colleen will never be NOT after each other… I say we go after Jazz though with Robb and Harry.
Barbie, CF - Now, Cloé and Colleen are PRETTY close, so if Colleen wants out CLARISSA, aka she lies, and Madison is decently close to myself and Clarissa, so… this should all be handled. Cloé & Madison should be handled. But either way I don't think they'll come to a group consensus behind my, and all of our, backs to decide to vote Jazz. Which, they'll think, I'll be doing.
*ON THE BEACH*
-Colleen and Cloé are whispering-
Colleen - If you, me, Barbie, Robb and Harry vote Clarissa, that's a solid 5…
Cloé, CF - The security in knowing Colleen and Clarissa are still very much after each other is pretty refreshing, as those are two people who are NOT me. I'm sorta like… we could make a move and take out someone like Harry? Robb said he wants to, but the problem is… the numbers. Harry is too close to Madi, and everyone else hates everyone else and I could get Eric maybe, but he's too close to Barbie, who HATES Jazz, BUT… Barbie didn't take him on reward. But then even if we get Eric… that's 3. How can we make that work? We kinda can't. So I need to get this idea to ROBB, and see if he sees any chance in this.
-Cloé runs over to Robb-
Cloé - So obviously all of them are gonna go after each other… how can we get this to turn around on Harry?
Robb - Can we even?
Robb, CF - It's known that Madison and Harry are strangely really close… we can't tell Madison we want to make a move… it has to be an utter blindside to Harry and everyone around him… obviously. But… the numbers don't add up to the point we can pull this off. To the point the only person we can go to is… Jazz.
Robb - Jazz can't vote out Barbie. Could we get her?
Cloé - The only problem is she may be too close to Colleen? I'll try.
Cloé, CF - Me and Jazz don't have any bad blood whatsoever, if I can get her in on this plan… it could be a blessing. It's just hard to silence Jazz. She's like a firecracker, so everything has to be like… lowkey with her.
*SITTING BY THE WAVES*
Cloé whispers to Jazz - How would you feel about making a move? It just has to be kept between us cuz… one wrong move… boom.
Jazz - I am so in.
Cloé whispers - Obviously Clarissa is after Colleen, Colleen after Clarissa, and Barbie is after you. Correct?
Jazz - 100%.
Cloé - That's 3 votes out the window after each other. Now this vote sorta has sides like… Harry and Madison are probably going to be on opposite ends of the spectrum as Eric cuz they are on different sides sorta, but… me and Robb were thinking.. why keep Harry here when he could easily win this thing?
Jazz, CF - Cloé is sayin’ that she wants to make a big move and take HARRY out…. and she thinks the only chance that happens is if I vote with her!! A) MATHEMATICALLY THAT’S STUPID AND B) HOW PERFECT!!!! THIS COULD BE PERFECT…. but I can't tell nobody. This can't get out at all, cuz I actually… this entire time, I want Harry gone. If I tell Barbie they are salty at her and the only way to gain her forgiveness is to vote Harry, that could mean she wants to go with the safe bet and side with mama J.
*IN THE WOODS*
-Jazz goes over to Barbie-
Jazz - We have to vote Harry. Don't ask no questions, they can't see me out here, but he's a rat, he's been getting into Eric’s head about how you're a rat for picking us to go on reward, and if he stays much longer he can turn everyone against you. You have to do this.
Barbie, CF - I honestly totally believe in Jazz, and I think she's right, but… that's such a mediocre move. Harry won't beat people like Robb in the end, but… it would make sense to just take him out next.. I won't lie. But, it's hard to justify. Like, this could be an obvious position where we can change the game… Harry seems like a safer move, and we can't play it safe at this point in the game, but… if people’s names are in my mouth… perfect excuse.
*IN THE WOODS*
Harry whispers to Madison - Do we try to make a move now?
Madison - No, it's too soon.
Harry, CF - I do feel opportunity comes at every door, and this could be an opportunity, but.. I just don't know. I feel like I'm sorta at the back of the ship, waiting to strike, but it's never the right time… why change the game when you're safe? It makes no sense. Madison informs me of that every day.
Madison whispers - No shady business is going on, I think we can trust the position we're in.
Madison, CF - Do I trust Cloé? Yeah, there's no reason not too. Robb is a bit threatening, I think we need to handle him… But right now, we hardly have a position in this game to make moves like that. Our social game sorta… relies on Robb, so.. I think we just make a decision based on the options present.
*IN THE WOODS*
-Cloé, Harry, Robb & Madison talk-
Madison - I say we come to a group consensus. Who do we all want out?
Harry - I’m pretty sure Eric and Barbie are voting Colleen, so we follow them?
Robb - Unanimous is no fun.
Cloé - I think Colleen would be a decent number for us going forth.
Robb, CF - We have to make our actions seem legit so Harry doesn't catch on, we can't just be like “yeah, yeah, yeah” we need to act natural. Decisions don't come that easy, but… I think at tribal tonight, Harry will be in for one big surprise hopefully.
Madison, CF - I feel pretty comfortable tonight, I won't lie… but… at tribal I need to keep an ear out incase there are secrets that are foreshadowed tonight… these people think they're clever, but secrets are revealed subtly at tribal. All comes out. I need to be aware.
*TRIBAL COUNCIL*
-Everyone sits down-
Jeff - Bring in the members of our jury…. Adaline, Jase, Jonas & Tyra, voted out last tribal council… BARBIE, you actually won immunity!
-Jase chuckles, as does the rest of the jury-
Jeff - How does it feel to have such power?
Barbie - If there wasn't so much on the line.. like loved ones and of course, my loyal ally alcohol… I wouldn't have pushed so hard, but… it was do or die basically, the stakes were that much higher for me. I need that.
Jeff - Your decisions were pretty controversial as to who you brought. Was there strategy there?
Barbie - I made a bad decision… I wish I incorporated strategy, but no… I don't know what I was trying there. It was just a mess. Sorry for everyone I didn't take, I should've, truly.
Jazz - MMMHMMMM she’s a petty ass bitch.
Jeff - Jazz, you aren't at all grateful you had family time?
Jazz - When bitches drag my good name through the mud to my mama, I don't feel any graciousness whatsoever. She's a bitch.
Jeff - Colleen, open question, Clarissa, you may answer too. Did you have a good time? Enjoyable?
Colleen - Me and Clarissa just didn't talk. I wanted to enjoy my sister, and her dad clearly means a lot to Clarissa, so… I personally didn't want to even bother picking fights. But, Jazz and Barbie are less… filtered. So, it was no shock on their part.
Jeff - Clarissa?
Clarissa - Yeah, it was just normal typical stuff. Me and Colleen don't even fight around camp, we sorta just like… try and try to get each other out, in hopes eventually it works… hopefully it works!
Jeff - Now back to JAZZ, Barbie is immune, so, inferring you're targeting her, that's a target off her, but a target still on you, assuming she's targeting you.
Barbie - That's right, bitch. Immune. Cherri did that.
Jeff - What’s the plan now that you can’t target her?
Barbie - Sticky situation, ain't it?… bitch.
Jazz - Yeah, I'm clearly getting votes….. but I sorta have no choice but to go after either Clarissa or Colleen, cuz those are the only other choices really. I guess. I am not entirely positive where the majority lies as sorta sometimes when your name is brought up, these geniuses just completely ostracize you instead of, like… I don't know. Filling you in? I don't think Clarissa or Colleen got talked to too much either.
Colleen - I think I was like reassured I had the votes to stay and they basically just walked away.
Clarissa - Same.
Jeff - So, Robb and everyone else. Open question. How confident are you that you are staying? Apparently Colleen and Clarissa and even Jazz are pretty sure they're in jeopardy and are going home. What about you guys?
Robb - I wouldn't be shocked if there was a blindside brewing against me. Even if those girls are all after each other. Those are guaranteed votes against each other. You can use the numbers who are NOT guaranteed to pull something off. It's basically just trust in others that carries you on. I don't know, in this game trust is fairly weird and hard to like… guarantee. I hope no one tries to pull something, but I think big moves come around just to say “hey I made a big move” or to “add something to your resume” and even if it doesn't benefit your game, they're just made to like splash in the water and just to be a tryhard game changer, not to actually do anything to benefit your game. Anything could happen though!
Jeff - Cloé, on a scale of one to ten, how comfortable—
Cloé - Zero. Barbie should be the only one to even have a 2 right now. If you're at a 5 or higher, it's probably you. Just saying.
Jeff - Harry, does this make you nervous at all? She said if you feel comfortable it might be you? Does that scream like “red flag” or anything?
Harry - I mean, it could… I don't know, that seems a bit too general to make me actually feel like shady business is going on, like… I'm alert but not majorly worried. I'm certainly not a 5 or higher.
Jeff - What are you?
Harry - A two, maybe? Not secure at all.
Jeff - Final question, Madison… at what part of the game do you feel… Jury management is a component in making big moves?
Madison - When jury started. Cuz, at the end, you could orchestrate like every vote off, play a perfect game strategically… but your social skills aren't there, or the jury just hates your guts cuz you treated them like toys or something. You can't be afraid to make big moves cuz then you're a sheep, but you can't utterly disregard that… Adaline, Jase, Jonas & Tyra are all just human beings and deserve respect. It's a balancing act, really.
Jeff - Let’s get to the votes….
-Barbie nods to Clarissa & Colleen, and then to Jazz-
Jeff - Jazz, you're up first.
Jazz - Thank you, sir. -gets up and walks over to the voting booth-
Harry’s vote is hidden - I like you, but this feud has got to end.
Madison walks into the voting booth, her vote hidden - It’s almost time to make a big move, but first -the camera pans over to Clarissa and Colleen, sitting next to each other- You gotta go.
-Barbie walks over to the voting booth, smiling-
Barbie, vote hidden - This is going to be… HILARIOUS. I hope it's really entertaining. I wish I had popcorn.
Colleen, vote hidden - It's been long overdue for blindside time.
-Colleen sits down, sighing, and flipping her hair-
Jeff - I’ll read the votes! -gets the urn and walks back- If anyone has a hidden immunity idol and would like to play it, now would be the time to do so.
-Eric and Barbie stay seated-
Jeff - Alright, i'll read the votes. -opens urn- First vote……. Colleen.
Jeff - Ninth vote…. and 12th person voted out of Survivor : Japan, and 5th member of our jury…

Harry.
Harry - Damn. -grabs torch-
Jeff - Please give me your torch.
Harry - You all are phenomenal actors.
-Barbie high fives Jazz, laughing-
-Harry gives Jeff his torch-
Jeff - The tribe has spoken.
Madison’s jaw is dropped - I’m ****ing shaking right now.
-Colleen smirks-
Jeff - That was evidently a huge blindside… To everyone. Could this reflect the rest of the season?
Robb - Damn, I hope not.
Jeff - Head back to camp.
*NEXT TIME ON SURVIVOR………….*
A power alliance could be problematic..
Colleen, CF - So, as expected, an alliance of petty women and rivals… blows up.
Jazz walks away from Barbie - Don't talk to me.
Jazz, CF - I don't CARE if it benefits my game. I'm going rogue.
Clarissa, CF - This is… hahahahahaah… PROBLEMATIC.
And a new power alliance takes control.
Cloé, CF - Jazz doesn't want to be apart of the rival alliance no more? Come to Clo Clo, girlfriend!
[SURVIVOR : JAPAN.]
Harry, Leaving Words - I am pretty stunned right now…. I didn't expect that… whatsoever. I don't know who did that… no clue. Not one whatsoever. I'm shocked. I think Madison stayed true. That's it… I'm rooting for her. But, yeah… I feel like a disappointment to my daughter. Ugh. It's hard.
