Christina looked up from the fire over at Efshari tribe. Uchenna, Marie, Bopper, and Karlyn were carrying palm fronds for the shelter, Jeff, Emmett and Isis were looking for coconuts and Elissa and Jeremy were laying on the beach. She was happy with her tribe, she had picked well, and everyone seemed to be working together cohesively. She knew Emmett had an immunity idol clue, but she wasn't too worried, she hasn't seen him looking.
Over on Boreka, things were a little different. The tribe was very divided, and Mirna's solution to try to improve morale was primarily just shrieking at people. Gina and Furonda had bonded quickly, and now were off somewhere in the woods bitching about the rest of the tribe, and Joey and Meghan also barely hung out with anyone else but each other. Christine had told the tribe she was blind, and no one seemed to care that much, but still! she was going to make them lose challenge! Mirna found the first person she could, Judd, and cornered him.
"I hate Boreka! I want to vote these people off, it's not even fun to play the game with them! Judd, can we lose the challenge just to get rid of some dead weight? We don't need Furonda and Gina..."
Judd shook his head.
"Absolutely not! We need the numbers no matter what. We're going to do our best at the challenge, and we won't worry about voting someone off until we lose."
Later, Cat called both tribes into the immunity/reward challenge.
"Welcome players! Today will test how you work as a team, how you delegate, and how well you know each other's strengths. There are three portions to this challenge. Agility, Strength, and Intelligence. Four people will first have to make their way through an obstacle course that requires jumping, climbing, nets and balance beams, then four people will row a canoe in and out around the buoy. They'll all be picking up puzzle pieces along the way, where the last two people will do the puzzle. Who's doing what will be decided by the people who picked the teams, Christina and Mirna. Ladies, your choices.
Christina answered first. "Okay, agility will be Jeremy, Jeff, Isis, and myself, Strength will be Uchenna, Bopper, Marie, & Emmett, and Elissa and Karlyn will do the puzzle."
Mirna was much slower thinking of her choices, she had a strange grin. "Agility will be Gary E., Gary L., Sam, and........Christine. Strength will be Meghan, Furonda, Gina, & Joey. So me and Judd will do the puzzle.
Her tribe stared at her, knowing instantly what she had done. By assigning a blind girl to agility and everyone else in all the wrong places, she had essentially thrown the challenge.
"Survivors ready? Go!"
Jeremy, Jeff, Isis and Christina blew out over the obstacle course, gaining a huge lead over the others as Gary L. and Sam tried to navigate Gary E., who was older and clumsy, and Christine, who was blind through the course. They finished with their pieces, and Uchenna, Bopper, Emmett, & Marie took off in the canoe. Efshari was already around the buoy by the time Meghan, Furonda, Gina, and Joey got into the canoe. And then....they just stopped. They couldn't even get the canoe to go off the beach. Efshari came back to to the beach, and Elissa and Karlyn had plenty of time to figure out the puzzle as Mirna looked on smiling, and Judd with a grimace.
"Efshari wins Immunity!!!"
Back at Boreka's camp, everyone was pissed. Furonda cursed at Mirna to her face, angry and hostile. Everyone whispered to each other pretty openly, they needed to get rid of Mirna for obvious reasons. But Mirna was telling everyone that Furonda was the weakest link, and her bad attitude was what made her decided to throw the challenge and they should vote her.
At tribal council, Cat welcomed the unhappy tribe.
"Mirna, do you feel safe today?"
"I should be safe, I made a controversial decision, but I'm sticking with it. There's people who are much worse to keep on in the long run"
"Sam, tell me about your tribe"
"These people are crazy! We're going to to have to get it together, like seriously people"
"Joey, how do you feel?"
"Same as Sam! But I know we can come together and make it work! I'm so happy Meghan is here, we want to make this tribe strong"
"Okay, it's time to vote"
Everyone gets up one by one and casts there votes.
"I'll read the votes"
"Mirna"
"Furonda"
"Mirna, that's two for Mirna and one for Furonda"
"Furonda, we're tied 2-2"
"Mirna"
"Mirna, that's four for Mirna, two for Furonda"
"Mirna"
"First person voted out of Survivor: Wrong Players....Mirna, you may bring me your torch."
The tribe looks content as Mirna's torch is snuffed.
"The rest of you, see this as an opportunity to come together closer as a tribe. Head back to camp."
