Jus: Why do yout think they didn't vote with us tonight?
Ausham: I don't know.
Jus: I was a little surprised by that.
Ausham: I guess Janelle does not have the idol.
Janelle (confessional): Now, I have to tell those doufuses that they aren't in the final 4! And thank goodness I didn't use my idol tonight, and that I still have it. I could use that to help advance myself further in the game.
*INTRO PLAYS*
-Day 24-
JB: Come on in, guys!
*Castaways enter*
JB: Welcome to the Survivor Auction! You each have $500 to buy anything you would like. Let's start.
Here's what the Survivors won from the auction:
Jus: Hot dog, fries and a cold beer; toothbrush, toothpaste and mouthwash; and a pepperoni pizza; letter from home (from Scott)
Rose: A bubble bath; slice of chocolate cake; letter from home (from Scott)
Scott: Power to send someone to Exile Island and may take his/her money; letter from home; gave to everyone, but has to sit out of next immunity challenge
Erinn: letter from home (from Scott); advantage in next immunity challenge b/c she was sent to Exile Island
Janelle: Bottomless soft-serve ice cream that she can indulge until the end of the auction; letter from home (from Scott)
Ausham: A sea cucumber; letter from home (from Scott)
Alexandra: PB&J sandwich; burger; letter from home (from Scott)
-Day 25, Exile Island-
Erinn (confessional): All that I have really done while being here was chilling out and reading my letter (thanks Scott). I went searching for the idol and it told me to go to this specific tree, and it wasn't there. I now know that either Jus or Janelle has it. I think Jus has it because Janelle would have played that idol at the last tribal council if she had it, so Jus probably has it. And that worries me a lot that it is not in the hands of my alliance.
-Day 26-
JB: Come on in!
*Castaways enter*
JB: We will now bring Erinn returning from Exile Island.
Erinn: Hey guys!
All: Hey Erinn!
JB: OK, first thing's first, give it up Jus.
*JB takes immunity back*
JB: Immunity is back up for grabs. For today's challenge, we will be participating in arguably the most popular challenge in Survivor history. Each of you fill out a questionnaire about your opinions on the others. Then, they must predict the most common answer to each question. Each castaway with a correct prediction would be allowed to cut a section of rope holding up a doll of the castaway they want eliminated. Three cuts of the rope would send the doll into a fire where it would burn, thus eliminating that player from the challenge. Last person left with their doll not burned wins immunity. Scott, you opted to not participate in today's challenge because you gave everyone letters from home. Erinn, you will have the advantage to have an extra rope, meaning that it will take you four ropes in order to be eliminated. All right, fill out these questionnaires in private, and we will get started.
*Castaways complete questionnaires*
JB: All right, remember that you are trying to answer what the majority thinks. That might not be what you answered. OK, first question: Who do you trust with your life?
Ausham - Rose
Janelle - Rose
Alexandra - Rose
Jus - Rose
Erinn - Rose
Rose - Rose
JB: Everyone answered Rose. Everybody gets it right. Ausham, you are first to chop.
JB: Erinn is eliminated. We are down to two. Rose has 3 ropes. Alexandra has 2. Next question: Who is the biggest threat in this game?
Alexandra - Jus
Rose - Jus
JB: Jus is correct. You both chop one rope from each other. Here is where we stand: Alexandra has 1 rope. Rose has 2. If Rose gets this question right, she wins immunity. Next question: Who is the most dramatic?
Alexandra - Alexandra
Rose - Erinn
JB: The correct answer is Erinn. Rose wins immunity! Take your final chop!
Rose: Woo!
JB: Rose, you have a one-in-six shot at winning one million dollars! You can not be voted out tonight. As for the rest of you, after 26 days, the ride ends for one of you. You have the afternoon to think about who that is going to be. I will see you at tribal.
-Day 26, Samurai-
Janelle (confessional): After the challenge, I knew that I needed to convince Aush & Jus that they were not in the top 4. Today's challenge was perfect for them to see.
Janelle: OK, do you two realize that if you vote me out tonight that you guys are fifth and sixth?
Jus: No.
Janelle: You guys were eliminated right after me. At the last tribal, they told you the opposite of what they were actually doing. They don't trust the two of you. You may go home tonight because this is the first time that you are vulnerable.
Jus: I know.
Janelle: If you vote with me, the idol holder, then we can figure out a way for us three to get out of this tribal council. What do you say?
Ausham: She's got a point.
Ausham (confessional): I believe what Janelle says. I think she's right. She gave us the overall picture, and if she is gone after this tribal, we are sitting ducks. We should at least try to advance further in the game if we can.
------------------------------
Erinn: I'm afraid Jus has the idol.
Rose: Really? Darn!
Alexandra: Crap!
Scott: F*ck!
*Jus joins*
Jus: Hey guys!
Erinn: Do you have the idol?
Jus: No!
Rose: Are you sure?
Jus: Yes!
Erinn: When I was at Exile, it led me to a very specific tree and it wasn't there.
Jus: Then I guess Janelle has it.
Alexandra: OK, I guess that is possible.
Jus: So are we still voting for Janelle?
Scott: We are. You just gotta make sure that she feels she is safe.
Jus: I will do that. I am going on a wood hunt. See ya!
------------------------
Jus (confessional): At this point in the game, I have to align with people that will take me the furthest, and at this point in the game, Janelle will take me the furthest.
Jus: They're going after you tonight. Play that idol!
Janelle: Are you sure?
Jus: 100%.
Janelle (confessional): Jus is telling the truth. It is true. I am going to save myself tonight by playing that idol. Boy, I can't wait until tribal!
---------------------
Erinn: God, he's so fishy...
Rose: I still don't trust him.
Alexandra: After all that he did for us? He voted the way we told him and he stuck by his word. He hasn't let us down so far.
Scott: Yeah, but he may have an idol.
Erinn: I just don't know what to do? Should we vote him off?
Rose: I don't know...
Scott: Guys, I have a plan.
-TRIBAL COUNCIL-
*Castaways enter*
JB: We will now bring in our jury. Joe, Suzie, Augustine, and Austin, voted out at the last tribal council.
*Jury enters*
JB: So, at the auction Scott purchased a letter from home for himself and then he got letters from home for everybody with the price of sitting out in the immunity challenge. Scott, was that a strategic move?
Scott: Absolutely not. I did not do that to gain jury votes or anything. I did it because I knew it was the right thing to do.
JB: If you go home tonight, will you regret it?
Scott: No.
JB: Rose, you won immunity. How does it feel?
Rose: Tremendous. I have only gotten 4 new gray hairs today! And not even a wrinkle! It was great feeling secure.
JB: Jus, this is your first time since the merge that you have not been immune. Are you nervous?
Jus: Absolutely. I won three immunities in a row. That is a hard thing to do. I wouldn't be surprised if I saw my name written down tonight.
JB: Alexandra, I am going to address this question to you because you have not been to Exile. Does it concern you that the idol has not surfaced?
Alexandra: Absolutely. I know I don't have it. I think I may know who has it, but then again, you can never be sure in the game of Survivor.
JB: Scott, when do you expect the idol to pop out?
Scott: Either tonight or the next tribal council. The last time you can use it is at the Final 4 tribal council. The time is running out for people to play that thing.
JB: OK, tonight is sure to be an interesting vote. Rose has immunity. Everyone else is fair game. It is time to vote, Erinn, you are up.
*Everyone votes*
JB: If anyone has the hidden immunity idol and you want to play it, now would be the time to do so.
*Janelle plays idol*
JB: If anyone has the hidden immunity idol, then all votes cast against that person will not count and the person with the next highest number of votes will be eliminated. This is the hidden immunity idol. All votes cast against Janelle do not count.
JB: First vote.........................Erinn. One vote Erinn.

.......................................Ausham. You need to bring me your torch.
Ausham: I am stunned!
Jus: Genius is what that was!
*Ausham brings torch*
JB: Ausham, the tribe has spoken.
*snuffs torch*
JB: It is time for you to go.
Ausham: Good luck guys!
*Ausham exits TC*
JB: Well, he was clearly stunned that he was going. All of you seemed to have a little bit of shock tonight. With only nine days left, the end game is just beginning. Grab your torches and head on back to camp. Good night.
Ausham (exit interview): That may have been the biggest blindside in the history of Survivor. And it was MINE!!! I'll have that dubious role in Survivor history, I guess. Can't wait to see how the end of this game turns out. Good luck to the top 6!
