Benj and Danielle's relationship continued to develop for everyone to see.
Everyone from the original Striga tribe all had their own agenda.
After a surprise vote switch, David was blindsided and became the third member of the jury.
The atmosphere of the tribe was very uncomfortable after the tribal council. With the votes split up in the way that it did in tribal, nobody felt safe.
Danielle and Benj talked to Rhys about what happened. Rhys learnt that Claud and Zak were still working with them and they told them about the vote against Benj right before tribal. Because Claud and Zak were not willing to vote for Kenya, they decided to all vote for David in an attempt to flush out Jack's idol.
Rhys: (To camera) I understand what they did but this is definitely destroying my game. David was one of the few people in this game that I can still trust. Now I really feel like I'm alone in this game. I feel like something needed to be done, or else I'd be screwed.

Kara was not particularly happy with how the tribal went down. Claud went and talk with Kara and explained the situation. Kara seemed a bit impatient at first but she eventually listened to what Claud had to say. Claud reassured Kara that even though they switched the vote, his loyalty would still be with Kara, Kenya, Zak and Julian. Claud said that it was simple math. It was 5 against 5 before, and by switching the vote, they were in a good spot.
Kara: (To camera) The logic makes sense, but I still do not appreciate the fact that I was not included in the conversation. I think the whole original Striga meeting happening every now and then needs to stop.
The next morning, Jack woke up very early to freshen himself up a bit. After mourning about David's departure for a bit, he realized that he needed to take some actions, or else his whole future in this game would be in jeopardy. He quietly woke up Kara, Julian, Kenya and Rhys. And the five of them had a little meeting before the Striga Four woke up.

Charlie:
Good morning, everyone. It is time again for our individual immunity challenge. With last night's tribal council, this immunity can be very important. Today's immunity challenge is all about endurance. This is exactly what the challenge looks like:
We'll draw for spots, let's get started...
---------
Everybody got a good grip of the rope and all seemed to be steady with holding the rope attached to the log. After a dozen minutes, some of them started to slip as they moved on to another knots. Kara, Kenya and Rhys all dropped their ropes and they were out of this challenge.
After everyone moved on to the next knot, some started to struggle. Julian and Benj were the next two to go as they couldn't hold on to the knots any longer.
The rest of them seemed extremely determined in winning the challenge. After a long struggle with the knot, Jack was out of the challenge.
Danielle, Claud and Zak were the last three still in the challenge and they were all fighting very hard to stay in the challenge. Everyone on the sideline started getting nervous as they were whispering to each other about how strong all the original Striga tribe members were. Danielle had started to negotiate with Claud and Zak as she claimed that she'd be there all day if she had to. Claud and Zak both seemed apprehensive about it but they wouldn't let go.
Danielle couldn't hold on any longer and she dropped her rope. Both Claud and Zak were at the end of their ropes and they were both trying to stay in the challenge. Zak gave Claud a look without drawing attentions from the other tribemates, and Claud dropped the rope.
---
---
---
ZAK wins individual immunity! *Everyone cheered.* Congratulations Zak, you've guaranteed yourself a spot in the final eight. For the rest of you, good luck and I'll see you at tribal council tonight, where one of you will be eliminated from the game.
---
---
---
Back at the Ibrida tribe, Danielle, Benj and Claud congratulated on Zak's victory. They tried to discuss about how they should vote at tribal, but they were cut off by the other members of the tribe.
Kara, Kenya and Julian asked where Claud and Zak were thinking about this time's votes. Claud and Zak said that they still needed to consider the possibility of Jack using the idol and they should try to flush it out. Kara suggested that they could potentially get Rhys on their side so that they could do a split vote of three and three to ensure Jack's idol would be flushed. Claud and Zak said that it could be a great idea.
Jack, Rhys were talking to Danielle and Benj. Jack said that he would definitely use his idol tonight now that David's gone. Danielle and Benj were a bit surprised at Jack's frankness and they suggested that they go after Kenya for real this time. Rhys and Jack agreed and asked if they could find out what the other side would be voting for tonight so the idol could be of good use.
Claud and Zak suggested to Kara, Kenya and Julian that they should vote for Danielle for the night in case the idol was played. Claud and Zak said that they would talk with Rhys and get him to vote for Jack with the two of them to make a 3 and 3 vote.
Claud, Zak went over and talked with Danielle, Benj and Rhys. Claud and Zak told them that the other side was gunning for Danielle and Jack this round and they were going to try to flush Jack's idol out with a 3:3:3 vote. Claud and Zak told Danielle not to worry and suggested that they should all vote for Kara as she seemed to be the head of the other side right now. Danielle, Benj and Rhys agreed.
---
---
---
Tribal Council:
Charlie: Hello again, everyone. How would tonight's vote go?
Benj: I think a lot is going on in our tribe right now, so I think tonight's vote could prove to be interesting once again.
Charlie: How so? Would you mind elaborating on that?
Benj: I think it is very obvious that there are two sides in this tribe right now. And both sides are trying to figure out the best way to get rid of somebody from the other side.
Charlie: How is the tribe split?
Benj: I'm not gonna say.
Charlie: What about you, Rhys, how do you feel?
Rhys: Tonight's votes is definitely going to be a surprise for sure.
Charlie: Care to elaborate on that?
Rhys: Nope.
Charlie: Does anybody wanna anything?
*Silence*
Charlie: Alright then. Let's get to the voting, shall we? Danielle, you're up first...
---------
Danielle: *writing on the sheet* (Vote not shown)
Jack: If this goes the way that it should, I should be safe tonight. (Vote not shown)
Julian: *writing on the sheet* (Vote not shown)
Kenya:*writing on the sheet* (Vote not shown)
Claud: Kara, you're getting way too smart.
Rhys: *writing on the sheet* (Vote not shown)

Kara: I wish I could vote for you Claud, but I'd like to see the look on your face after tonight's tribal. (Vote not shown)
Zak: *writing on the sheet* (Vote not shown)
---
---
---
Charlie:
If anybody has a hidden immunity idol and wants to play it, now it would be the time to do so. *Everyone looked at Jack. Jack looked around, stood up, then sat back down.* Once the votes are read, the decision is final. The person with the most votes will be voted out immediately. I'll read the votes.
First vote, Kara.
Second vote, Kara. Two votes Kara.
Third vote, Benj. Two votes Kara, one vote Benj.
Fourth vote, Benj. Two votes Benj, two votes Kara.
Fifth vote, Kara. Three votes Kara, two votes Benj.

Seventh vote, Benj. Four votes Benj, three votes Kara.
Eighth vote, Kara. We're tie again, at four votes Kara, four votes Benj, one vote left.
Ninth vote...
---------
The 19th person voted out of Survivor: Bloodlines, and the fourth member of our jury, is, Benj. Please bring me your torch.
*Claud looked extremely shocked.*
*Jack had a smirk on his face, and he mouthed to David on the other side, this is for you.*
*Kara looked content.*
Charlie: Benj, the tribe has spoken. (Torch Snuffed) Time for you to go to Ponderosa.
Benj: I love you Dani.
Charlie: Based on the looks on your faces, tonight's definitely another surprise. I'll see y'all tomorrow for another immunity challenge. Get some rest tonight, good night!

Danielle looked a bit devastated about the result of the tribal council. Zak and Claud tried to comfort her but she said that she just wanted to be by herself for a while.
Rhys, Julian, Kenya, Jack and Kara gathered and gave each other a big hug for the success of their plan. Jack thanked everyone for trusting him and making the big move, and everybody was glad to see the Striga four break down.
---------
In the morning, Claud and Kara had a long chat with each other. Kara said that she felt like she could trust him in this game before, but she didn't know any more. She was really surprised that out of all the people, he would choose to get rid of her over some other people. Claud came clean and said that he was more loyal to his Striga tribemates and he just couldn't let them vote somebody from Striga out. Kara said that she understood and that's why she wanted him to feel the same way she did when he didn't tell her the plan to blindside David. Claud said that it was fair for her to do that. At the end, they both agreed that they'd try to look out for each other from this point forward.
Claud: (To camera) At this point, I need to figure out a plan to salvage all the relationships I have with the other tribemates. If I don't find a way to split up the other five, me, Zak and Danielle will just end up going one by one.

Charlie:

---
---
---
Back at the Ibrida tribe, Danielle and Zak congratulated on Claud's victory. Danielle was sad about the result and felt that she would be booted next. Both Claud and Zak comforted her and said that they'd try their best to save her.
Claud and Zak went and talked with Kara, Julian and Kenya. They wanted to rekindle their alliance but Julian seemed a bit hesitant. Claud made a case about Jack being a huge threat at the end of this game, because not only did he still possess an idol, but he could be perceived as an underdog in this game and could potentially win the whole thing. Kara agreed but she said she's not sure if a move should be made just yet.
Rhys and Jack had a small chat and they felt that they were on the out again. They assumed that everyone would be discussing either getting rid of Zak or Danielle. But seeing Claud, Zak, Kara, Julian and Kenya talking with each other just made them even more insecure.
Kara, Julian and Kenya went and talked with Rhys and Jack and reassured them that they'd be fine. They were discussing the merits of getting rid of either Danielle or Zak. They were all a little bit intimidated by Zak's ability to win competitions, but they were also wary of Danielle's social skill in this game.
---
---
---
Tribal Council:
Charlie: Welcome back to tribal council. Claud, how do you feel about winning this last immunity challenge?
Claud: It definitely makes me feel a lot better, especially after our last tribal council, this immunity is the only thing that could guarantee my safety.
Charlie: How do you feel about getting so close to winning this immunity, Danielle?
Danielle: It sucks. But if anybody else should win this one besides me, I'm okay with Claud winning it.
Charlie: What exactly is the dynamic of the tribe right now?
Kara: I think we're still split. We all have to ensure our own safety so anything could still happen.
Charlie: It does look like there was a big split from our last tribal council. But again, at the end of the day, you'll all have to turn on each other.
Kenya: I agree. It'll just depend on who'll strike first.
Charlie: With that, it is time to vote. Kara, you're up first...
---------
Kara: *writing on the sheet* (Vote not shown)
Zak: Jack, I hope we're able to convince the others.
Jack: I'd rather see you go home over the other one. (Vote not shown)
Claud: *writing Jack on the sheet*
Rhys: *writing on the sheet* (Vote not shown)
Julian: I find you a bigger threat than the other. (Vote not shown)
Danielle: *writing on the sheet* (Vote not shown)
Kenya: This should be fun. (Vote not shown)
---
---
---
Charlie:
If anybody has a hidden immunity idol and wants to play it, now it would be the time to do so. *Everyone looked at Jack. Jack looked at Charlie and stood up.*
Jack: I have this necklace around my neck long enough. I'm going to use it this time just to be safe.
Charlie:
The rules of Survivor state that if anybody plays the hidden immunity idol then any votes cast against that person will not count. Jack, this is in fact the hidden immunity idol. Any votes cast on Jack will not count. I'll read the votes.
First vote, Jack. Does not count.
Second vote, Jack. Does not count.
Third vote, Jack. Does not count.
Fourth vote, Jack. Does not count. *Jack mouthed I knew it.*
Fifth vote, Jack. Does not count. *David looked excited from the jury.*
Sixth vote...
---------
Zak. One vote Zak.
Seventh vote, Danielle. One vote Zak, one vote Danielle, one vote left.
Eighth vote...
---------
The 20th person voted out of Survivor: Bloodlines, and the fifth member of our jury, is, Danielle. Please bring me your torch.
*Benj looked sad to see Danielle go.*
*Zak was relieved that it was at least not him going.*
*Jack was still frowning at the five votes against him.*
Charlie: Danielle, the tribe has spoken. (Torch Snuffed) Time for you to go to Ponderosa.
Danielle: Wish you all the best! This has been fun.
Charlie: We're getting closer and closer to the end now. It looks like more and more scheming is still going on in the game. Bring your torch, head back to your camp, I'll see you tomorrow.
End*
Next time on, Charlie's Survivor:
Jack felt betrayed and he realized there were not a lot of people he could trust in the game.
Claud and Zak continued to ensure their safety from elimination.
Julian and Kenya were considered a target once again.
We're getting closer and closer to the finale, and I'm about to set on my adventure to Europe! So hopefully I'll get to finish updating all of this series before I go to Europe :D This has been a lot of work again, so please provide feedback as they'll be greatly appreciated :P Please plus and comment to show your support! :) Thank you!
David and Jack's friendships deepened.
Benj and Danielle started realizing their feelings for each other.
After Kenya surprisingly used her immunity necklace, D.C. ended up being voted out and became the second member of the jury.
At the Hirudo tribe, everyone was still a bit shocked over D.C.'s elimination, especially Danielle and Rhys. Claud and Zak were relieved that their votes were the reason why Claud was still safe. And they also realized that at this point Danielle might no longer be with them. Kenya realized that Rhys and Danielle lied to her about the votes before tribal, and even though she's safe at this point, her future in this game was still not solid.
Kenya: (To camera) The only thing I can do at this point, is to make alliances after the merge to secure my own safety. I no longer have any idols to keep myself safe. I need to step it up because I'm all on my own now. I miss having Mike from last season around...
---------
(Theme Song)
---------
At the Lupino tribe, David and Jack went on a trip to gather some fruits for the tribe. As they were busy collecting them, they made a final two deal with each other, saying that neither of them would ever betray each other's trust. Julian and Kara discussed briefly about their plan after merge, both saying that they needed more people on their side to stay safe in this game. Benj was excited about the merge because he would soon see Danielle once again.
Benj: (To camera) I can't believe how much I've missed her. I really wish she hasn't been gone from my life for so long. After this merge, everything will start to look up!
---
---
---
Charlie:
Good morning, everybody. Lupino, take a look at the new Hirudo tribe, with D.C. voted out at the last tribal council.
Before we start today's reward challenge, drop your buffs, because you're now merged into a brand new tribe! It's called Ibrida, and here's your new buffs. *Charlie handed everyone the new Purple buffs.* You will all be moving to the original Striga camp so everything you've left at the old campsite will be gone. *Everyone gasped.* Now, let's start today's reward challenge.
You will be split into two teams of five, one member of each team will be your defender, while one at a time, members from the opposing team will attempt to throw a ball into the net. First team to score four wins reward. Wanna know what you're playing for? *Everybody said yes.* You will be taken to a beautiful waterfall where you will get to enjoy the scenery and a picnic afterwards. I'll give you a few minutes to split into two teams.
*Everyone discussed and split into two teams.*
Team Blue:
Benj (Defender)
Rhys
Jack
David
Danielle
Team Red:
Claud (Defender)
Kara
Zak
Kenya
Julian
---------
Kara jumped to the left in an attempt to shoot pass Benj for her team, but Benj anticipated the shot and jumped to his right to catch the ball.
Blue:Red = 0:0
Claud was stable on his spot and he jumped to catch the ball as soon as he saw Rhys threw it. Unfortunately Claud missed the ball by inches and Rhys' ball went in the net.
BLUE Scores!
Blue:Red = 1:0
Zak faked a right jump but instead aimed for the left side of the net, Benj went for his left and missed the ball completely.
RED Scores!
Blue:Red = 1:1
Jack jumped and aimed the ball exactly towards the middle of the net, Claud over-thought the process and missed the ball just by a little bit.
BLUE Scores!
Blue:Red = 2:1
Kenya shot the ball slightly to the right, Benj jumped and couldn't catch the ball as he didn't jump high enough to reach it.
RED Scores!
Blue:Red = 2:2
David jumped and shot to the left, but Claud got confused as he jumped to his left to try catching the ball and he missed the ball in a large margin.
BLUE Scores!
Blue:Red = 3:2
Julian copied Zak and made a fake jump to the left, while aiming for the right. Benj was caught off-guard and he jumped to his right, missing the ball.
RED Scores!
Blue:Red = 3:3
Danielle ran and jumped across the lake, throwing the ball into the air. Claud attempted to jumped towards the ball and his fingers touched the ball...
---
---
---
But he missed the ball and Danielle SCORES for BLUE! Blue team wins reward! Benj, Rhys, Jack, David and Danielle will be immediately flown to the waterfall to enjoy their rewards. Unfortunately for Red team, you will all go back to your camp as I have nothing for you.
---------
Back at the camp, everyone was sad to not have won the challenge when it was such a close score, though nobody blamed Claud for the loss of the challenge. Kara and Julian both said they were glad that all of them could spend more time with each other as they felt that they loved this group the most. Kenya was extremely happy to be with them as she told everybody there that she felt the most comfortable with them. She apologized to Claud in front of everybody for her vote on him. She explained that Rhys and D.C. told her that it'd be a safe vote. Claud said that he completely understood and he had no problem working with her from this point forward. Claud, Zak and Kenya told Kara and Julian about last night's tribal and they were surprised to find out about Kenya's using the idol. They all agreed that since Jack's the last one to still possess an idol, his idol needed to be flushed out.
Kara: (To camera) Me, Julian and David has discussed briefly about working with each other. But it starts to look like him and Jack are getting closer. So I need to figure out the best way to approach this so that if Jack ended up being voted out, we'll still have David in our pocket.
---------
At the waterfall, everybody was enjoying themselves. Benj and Danielle went for a walk around the waterfall and they ended up giving each other a very tender kiss under a beautiful sakura tree. David and Jack went for a walk by themselves as well and they were chuckling over some jokes that they were telling each other about. Rhys felt a little bit out of place as he had nobody else to take a walk with. During the picnic, the two duos continued to enjoy the food by themselves without acknowledging Rhys' existence in the picnic.
Rhys: (To camera) I really feel like I have been in the worst of luck in this game. Almost everyone of my allies ended up going. Guillomouve, D.C., and some others that I've grown close to. Even though now technically I'm still in good standing with David and Danielle, it feels like they've all moved on to their own duos and there're really no place for me any more. I might have to reevaluate the situation and see what my next move is.
---
---
---
Charlie:
Welcome back everybody for a special dusk time immunity challenge! For immunity, this is going to be a classic food-eating challenge.
We'll draw for spots. Let's get started...
---
---
---
First five to compete, Zak, Kara, Rhys, Kenya and Julian. First three to finish their food move on to the next round! You're eating...
Everybody started eating the beetles and none of them were messing around. Zak chowed down the entire bug in about a few seconds, while others are struggling to swallow the bug. Kenya finished the bug and showed Charlie her mouth. Only one spot left to move on as the other three continued to chew on their bugs to attempt finishing it. Rhys ended up finishing it first and he moved on to the next round with Zak and Kenya.
ZAK, KENYA, RHYS moving on!
---------
The other five, David, Danielle, Benj, Jack and Claud. First three to finish their food move on to the next round! You're eating...
A lot of them seemed like they were about to throw up but they all went down on the bugs. Benj was the first to finish the bug with ease. Danielle managed to devour the entire bug and took a few while to chew away the bug and finished it. The other three struggled to keep the bug down and Claud ended up finishing the bug before the other two.
BENJ, DANIELLE, CLAUD moving on!
---------
Zak, Kenya, Rhys, Benj, Danielle and Claud will compete. First three to finish their food move on to the next round! You're eating...
They were all grossed out by the creatures as Charlie reminded them that they were technically part of the clam family. Not really comforted by the information, everyone started eating the worms. Danielle once again finished them with ease, with Zak finishing them soon afterwards. The other four were fighting for the final spot for the next round. At the end, Rhys ended up finishing them thought almost vomiting all over the place, and moved on to the next round.
DANIELLE, ZAK, RHYS moving on!
---------
Danielle, Zak and Rhys are competing for the two spots for the final round! You're eating...
They could all see the feathers sill on the egg, as they were extremely grossed out by the delicacy. Rhys swallowed the entire egg in whole and he didn't even seem to hesitate at all. Danielle and Zak were both fighting for the final spot for the final round but neither of them seemed to be able to keep it down. Danielle swallowed the whole thing but couldn't help but vomit a little bit as Zak kept the egg down.
They all instantly put the brains in their mouths and tried their best and fastest to swallow the entire thing. They almost finished them at the exact same time...
---
---
---
RHYS wins individual immunity! *Everybody cheered for Rhys.* Congratulations Rhys, you've guaranteed yourself a spot in the final nine. For the rest of you, good luck and I'll see you at tribal council tonight, where one of you will be eliminated from the game.
---
---
---
Back at the Ibrida tribe, Danielle, Benj and Zak applauded Rhys on being a worthy opponent. Rhys looked extremely excited about his win and he still couldn't believe it.
Danielle, Rhys and Benj soon gathered and they were thinking about voting on Kenya again now that she no longer had the idol. Benj said that he could potentially have Jack and David's votes, then all they need would just be one more vote to ensure.
Kenya, Julian, Kara, Claud and Zak discussed their plan to flush out Jack's idol. Kara and Julian withheld the information that David was getting close to Jack as they were afraid they would all vote for David. Kara suggested that they should target Benj as the power couple needed to be split up. Claud and Zak seemed a bit unsure about the suggestion as they were both closed to Benj when they were on the same tribe. Before the group dismembered, Kara quickly whispered to Claud her observation about the friendship between Jack and David.
Jack and David seemed to have no clue what's going on as everyone was trying to talk to them, which made it extremely awkward for any of them to finish any kind of conversation. Jack felt that he might have to use his idol tonight because he felt that he's not safe in this game. David was trying to comfort him as he attempted to listen in other's conversations to figure out what the plan was.
Zak, Claud, Danielle and Benj quickly gathered right before tribal council to share their thoughts on votes. They couldn't talk much and they all seemed to not completely trust each other as the discussion came to a quick end.
Zak: (To camera) I am so confused as to what will happen tonight. All I can say is that I'm hoping for the best that my name won't be written down somehow and I'll make the right decision.

Tribal Council:
Charlie: Welcome, to your first tribal council as a merge tribe. What would you is the dynamic of the newly merged tribe?
Kenya: I think the conversations are already going everywhere in the tribe.
Charlie: Kenya, this is your second time in a merged tribe, how different do you think the dynamic is in this tribe?
Kenya: Honestly it is a lot different this time. Last time I was here, I had built a lot of relationships with everyone and everybody else had the same thing. But this time, because of all the secret islands and all the separations, I think it had been a lot harder for anyone to fully trust somebody else.
Charlie: Interesting. What about you, Julian? As a second-time competitor, how do you feel about the tribe right now?
Julian: Well it is definitely more interesting for me, considering I didn't get to do much last time around.
Charlie: Kara, being the only one left from the very original Hirudo tribe, how do you feel?
Kara: Oh my gosh! I didn't even realize that! I definitely missed everybody from my old tribe, but I've made some great friendships with these new people and I'm so blessed to still be here in this game.
Charlie: Jack, how do you feel about your chance in this game?
Jack: I honestly can't say. I felt that I've made some great new friendships in this game because I really didn't have much time at the beginning to socialize with anyone as I was stranded on one of the secret islands.
Charlie: Danielle, as we can all see, you and Benj are holding each other's hands. Aren't you worried that this will endanger you two as a couple?
Danielle: Not really. I feel like I wanna be true to my feelings so I don't wanna hide the relationship between Benj and I. Besides, based on last season, I don't think it affected that much to the gameplay.
Charlie: Fair enough. One last question, David, what do you think of the overwhelming number of the original Striga tribe members still in this game?
David: Wow... Yeah it is definitely something crazy because there are still five of them here. But I think at this point of the game, it really doesn't matter about any old tribes. It's a brand new game!
Charlie: With that, it is now time to vote. Julian, you're up first...
---------
Julian: *writing Benj on the sheet*
Jack: *writing Kenya on the sheet*
Kenya: Benj, you and Danielle need to be separated.
Claud: This is strictly strategic. (Vote not shown)
Zak: *writing on the sheet* (Vote not shown)

David: *writing Kenya on the sheet*
Danielle: *writing on the sheet* (Vote not shown)
Kara: Benj, you're getting a bit too clingy.
---
---
---
Charlie:
If anybody has a hidden immunity idol and wants to play it, now it would be the time to do so. *Everyone looked at Jack. Jack looked a bit nervous but he didn't do anything.* Once the votes are read, the decision is final. The person with the most votes will be voted out immediately. I'll read the votes.
First vote, Benj.

*Claud gave Benj a wink that caught Kara's eyes.*
*Kenya was relieved at the results.*
Charlie: David, the tribe has spoken. (Torch Snuffed) Time for you to go to Ponderosa.
David: Good game, everybody!
Charlie: Interesting votes. This definitely seems like an old-fashioned blindside. I really wonder who is really in control of this game right now. Bring your torch, head back to your camp, I'll see you tomorrow.
End*
Next time on, Charlie's Survivor:
Claud explained to Kara the logic behind his decision in an attempt to calm her down.
Jack went into action after he briefly mourned about David's elimination.
Rhys grew more insecure about his position in the game.
Tributes to Carlisle: David: (Random.Org... Doesn't Love You...)
Oh my gosh! I haven't updated for so long! I think I'll just power through all my updates this week and see how it goes... Expecting a lot of tldr lol but I love y'all that read all of these :D This has been a lot of work again, so please provide feedback as they'll be greatly appreciated :P Please plus and comment to show your support! :) Thank you!
With the surprise voting twist for the Lupino tribe, Mike was voted out by a mere extra single vote, after Claud decided to give Julian the immunity.
Rhys and Kenya rekindled about their time spent together in last season.
The feud between Kara and Trey resulted in another loss of an original Hirudo tribemate, as Trey was voted out and became the first member of the jury.
At the Lupino tribe, Kara was extremely relieved that she got to survivor another day. She bonded with Julian as they discussed the massive number of original Striga tribemates still in the game. They felt that maybe it'd be best for them to unite with David to take out the Striga people. Julian mentioned that he was not meshing that well with David before because of his alliance with Rhys and Guillomouve. Kara thought that new alliances could be made if they worked hard enough.
David and Jack both started spending a lot of time together. They talked about past relationships and how they were out of the dating game for quite a while. They were bonding over their tribe experiences and they both felt they needed to fight hard to stay in this game at this point.
With all his closest allies on the opposing tribe, Benj felt rather lonely especially without the company of Danielle.
Benj: (To camera) I'm really missing Danielle right now. I'm starting to feel that our friendship is getting a bit more than what I thought it was. I just hope that the merge can come sooner so that I can finally meet her again.
---------
(Theme Song)
---------
At the Hirudo tribe, Danielle, Rhys and D.C. were discussing the impending merge. They were counting number of people that they could count on after the merge to see if they could stay stealthy in their operations. D.C. felt that he had a good connection with Kara, and Rhys said that he would have David with him, while Danielle stressed the bond between her and Benj. They were sure that if they made it to merge, their path would be quite easy.
Claud and Zak started noticing Danielle's bonds with D.C. and Rhys, and they were concerned about her loyalty to them. They were afraid that the Striga Four alliance was breaking down as they felt that even Benj was slipping away a little bit. They contemplated cluing Kenya on it so that they could snip Danielle's alliance before it got too big. But they were not sure if they could trust Kenya enough. They planned on talking to Kenya soon about making a deal with her.
Kenya: (To camera) I feel that I still don't have any people that I could truly rely on. All I have right now is just the immunity necklace around my neck. I need to do something with it or try using it to gain some alliances, or else I could be screwed in this game.

Charlie:
Good morning, everyone. Hirudo, take a look at the new Lupino tribe, with Trey voted out at the last tribal council. *Kenya and D.C. were a bit surprised at the results.*
Now let's get to today's reward challenge. In today's reward challenge, members from each tribe will square off with each other in a battle revolving around strategy and balance. Here is today's reward challenge:
You will be playing for deserts, tea and coffee, which will definitely give you a great boost in this game. Hirudo, since you have one member outstanding, please choose someone to sit out. *Hirudo chose to sit out Danielle.*
First tribe to win 3 points in this challenge wins reward. I'll give y'all a few minutes to arrange your battle order...
---------
Kara vs. Claud
Kara tried her best to distract Claud as she closed in on him to attempt knocking his idol off. Claud took a swift turn and avoided the attempt and was closing in on Kara. As he was about to knock of Kara's idol, Kara quickly dodged and knocked off Claud's idol from down under.
KARA wins one point for LUPINO!
D.C. vs. David
It was quite an even fight between the two, as they were both trying their best to knock off each other's idols. It took them quite a while to even get close to each other until David knocked off D.C.'s idol by changing the direction of his attack, causing D.C. to miscalculate his steps.
DAVID wins one point for LUPINO!
Julian vs. Zak
Zak ran right in and started rushing to Julian, which caused him to panic and he almost lost grip of his idol. Zak then threw the idol up in the air and knocked off Julian's idol before his own's hit the ground.
ZAK wins one point for HIRUDO!
Rhys vs. Benj
Benj tried to mimic Zak's tactic and started rushing to Rhys. Rhys took a nice turn and managed to avoid any physical contact with Benj. Benj then ran towards Rhys while throwing his idol into the air. But he was not able to knock off Rhys' idol before his hit the ground.
RHYS wins one point for HIRUDO!
Jack vs. Kenya
Jack and Kenya were both nervous as they both knew this would be the deciding battle. In an attempt to intimidate Kenya, Jack was shouting to try distracting Kenya. But Kenya didn't pay attention to the noise and swiftly closed in Jack in an attempt to knock off Jack's idol. After a few seconds of battling with each other, one knocked off the other's idol before their own hit the ground...
---
---
---
KENYA wins the final point for HIRUDO, which means HIRUDO wins rewards! I'm sorry Lupino tribe, I've got nothing for you. I'll see y'all tomorrow for the immunity challenge.
---------
At the Lupino tribe, everyone applauded Kara's and David's valid effort for the tribe even though the tribe didn't end up winning the challenge. Julian gathered Kara and David together and discussed briefly about the possibility of the three of them joining forces together before Jack and Benj noticed. Julian and Kara were quite adamant about eliminating the original Striga tribemates and they were trying to convince David to be on board. David said that he understood the situation and he would vote with them if they were to go to tribal.
David: (To camera) It seems like I just went from yesterday's odd vote out to today's swing vote. I need to assess the situation very clearly just for my own sake in order to stay in this game. I really hate the fact that Rhys is all the way on the other side and that I have nobody to rely on at the moment.
---------
At the Hirudo tribe, everybody was having fun enjoying the deserts and drinks they won from the reward challenge. Everybody seemed happy with the tribe until D.C. brought up Kenya's necklace. Kenya admitted openly to the tribe that her necklace was in fact an immunity necklace and she could use them as she pleased. The entire tribe got a bit awkward as everyone wary of the necklace situation not only because of Kenya's possession of it, but also because they knew that Jack has one on the other tribe as well. Kenya said that she really didn't want this target on her back but since she was a returner in this game, she felt that she needed that necklace to ensure her own safety. Danielle threw in a seemingly joking comment that if Kenya disposed of the necklace, they'd promise her not to vote her off. Everybody else seemed to agree but Kenya was hesitant on the decision.
Danielle: (To camera) Would I really not vote her off if she loses the necklace? Maybe. Honestly I feel like I'm in a very good spot right now, and if this tribe goes to tribal, it would be horrible because the only person that I don't have any control over has an immunity necklace around her neck. I don't really want to make any difficult decisions right now.
---
---
---
Charlie:
Hirudo tribe, I hope you had a wonderful day enjoying all the deserts and drinks from the reward, and Lupino tribe, I hope your luck would finally turn around as we go into today's immunity challenge:
First thing first, Hirudo tribe, I'll need your immunity back. *Zak handed back the immunity idol.* Once again, immunity is back up for grab. On my go, you will all race through a series of obstacles. You will then untie knots, releasing a bridge road. You will then chop off a rope, releasing a load of puzzle pieces. You will then locate 18 letter pieces from the scattered puzzle pieces to spell out a 5-word phrase that will spell out a message. First tribe to get it right, wins immunity and will be safe from tribal council. Hirudo, since you have one member outstanding, please choose someone to sit out. You cannot sit out Danielle. *Hirudo chose to sit out Claud.* I'll give you a few minutes to strategize, then we'll get started...
---
---
---
For immunity, survivors ready. GO!
Both tribe rushes through the obstacle course, but both David and Zak were slowing down their tribes as they were not as flexible going through the obstacles. But both tribes were neck and neck through the obstacle course and they all almost made it to the knots at the same time.
Jack and Julian were working on the knots for Lupino, as Kenya and Rhys were working on the knots for Hirudo. Jack and Julian were having big problem with the knots as they were not able to untie the knots right. Kenya and Rhys soon finished untying the knots and everyone from the Hirudo tribe moved on to the rope section of the challenge.
As Jack and Julian were finally finished with the knots, Danielle was already chopping on the rope for Hirudo. David soon assumed the chopping duty for Lupino, and he soon caught up with Danielle as he was very efficient with his chopping while Danielle's chopping was a lot weaker than David's. Both team ended up chopping off the rope at about the same time, releasing all the puzzle pieces.
Everybody rushed to collect all the letter pieces for their tribes as Kara and Benj, D.C. and Zak were all getting ready to work on the puzzles. They all read the puzzle and it was:
XXX XXXX XXX XXX XXXXX
Kara, Benj, D.C., and Zak were all trying to guess what the phrase would be as the others collected the puzzle pieces. They all started assembling the phrase as they got all the letters and it was unclear what the message would be. Kara and Benj were trying their best to work together and they soon figured out one of the words must be "you", while D.C. was kind of getting in the way of Zak solving the puzzle, but Zak soon realized one of the words would be "win".
Both teams soon figured out one of the words was "and" but they were both stuck at the puzzle as each tribe only had two words figured out at this point. Kara was trying to figure out what the letter "m" could be in this phrase, while Benj was staring at the letter "s". Zak quickly assembled the word "merge" together while D.C. kind of just gave up helping.
As Zak realized that the message must have something to do with merge, Kara and Benj suddenly were able to assembled the word "this". Both tribes were neck and neck with each other, until one tribe finished the puzzle just a few seconds before the other did...
---
---
---
LUPINO wins immunity! *Hirudo left out a disgruntled sound.* Congratulations Lupino, you will be safe from tonight's tribal council. Unfortunately for you, Hirudo tribe, I'll see you tonight at tribal, where one of you will be voted out of this game.
---
---
---
At the Lupino tribe, everyone was celebrating their win as they all applauded Kara and Benj's teamwork in solving the puzzle. David was extremely relieved that they didn't have to go through tribal as he was still not sure what he would've done with the vote. As of now, it seemed that all the tribemates were content with David. Julian and Kara continued to bond with each other, while Jack and Benj were seemingly able to look past their previous differences in their original tribe as Benj confided in Jack his feeling for Danielle.
Jack: (To camera) I'm starting to see a split between the original Striga tribe members and this is the perfect time for me to slip in for a good position. It looks like Benj and Danielle are together, while Zak and Claud are closer with each other. I need to continue my new found friendship with Benj to see if I could go with his alliance to get myself further in this game.
---------
At the Hirudo tribe, everybody started getting paranoid about what would happen at tribal council. It seemed impossible for anyone to have a private chat with each other without everybody else noticing, therefore it was very awkward for all of them for a while. They asked Zak what the message of the puzzle said as none of the other tribemates including D.C. had read the solved puzzle after the game was over. Zak contemplated about withholding the information but he eventually informed them that the message read "win this and you merge". Understanding the importance of this vote, as the message clearly indicated that they'd merge after this tribal, everyone scattered to discuss the voting with their allies.
Danielle, D.C. and Rhys gathered to discuss the possibility of blindsiding Kenya from this game. They agreed that they needed to pull Kenya aside to convince her that she's not in danger and she should not use her immunity necklace. Rhys was a bit hesitant to the decision as he felt that he had a good relationship with Kenya, but he agreed that this would be the best decision for their alliance.
Claud and Zak pulled Kenya aside and they tried to talk Kenya into voting with them. Kenya was not so sure if she could 100% trust them. Claud and Zak stressed that it would be best if she vote with them and get out D.C. as he proved to be unhelpful in challenge today. Kenya said that she'd feel more comfortable if they had one more vote, so Claud and Zak promised that they'd at least get Danielle's vote with them.
Danielle, Claud and Zak quickly gathered and Danielle was told to vote off D.C., but Danielle seemed hesitant to their decision. Zak stressed that D.C. was the reason why they lost this challenge and he should be blamed for the loss, but Danielle brought up the point that it wouldn't matter after the merge as D.C. really had nobody on the other side to really work with. Danielle brought up the possibility of voting off Kenya and Claud and Zak seemed to be persuaded a bit.
D.C. and Rhys managed to grab Kenya to talk right before tribal and they told Kenya to vote for Claud. They insisted that they had enough votes to get rid of Claud, but Kenya got really confused about the vote as everyone was saying something different. Rhys told Kenya that she should save her idol for this vote and use it for the future as he was sure she would be safe this round.
Claud: (To camera) I feel like this would the craziest vote ever. I can honestly say that I wouldn't even be surprised if I ended up being voted off tonight. I have not had such a confusing day for a really long time.
---
---
---
Tribal Council:
Charlie: How important is tonight's vote, D.C.?
D.C.: I think we all know that this will be the last vote before we merge, based on the message we got from the challenge.
Charlie: Would that change the way people vote tonight?
D.C.: Oh absolutely. Everyone will think about how tonight's vote could benefit them in the long run, especially since everyone would have a friend at the other tribe after we merge.
Charlie: So how do you feel about that, Rhys?
Rhys: I'm a little bit unsure about what would happen tonight. Will the original tribe members still work together after the merge? Or will everybody scatter and form new alliances? These are the things we all have to think about.
Charlie: Wise words. Claud, how do you think tonight's votes would go?
Claud: I can honestly say this is the one time that I have no idea what's going on with the votes tonight. And that scares the crap out of me.
Charlie: Zak, do you feel the same way?
Zak: I feel the exact same way. But all I can say is, I'll vote the way that I feel is best for my game, and the best for my allies.
Charlie: Bold statement. Well, with that, it's time to vote. Zak, you're up first...
---------
Zak: Voting you out, I feel, would best serve my game. (Vote not shown)
Claud: *writing on the sheet* (Vote not shown)
Rhys: *writing on the sheet* (Vote not shown)
Kenya: I am so confused at this point. I hope that people are not lying to me. (Vote not shown)
Danielle: Let's see what happens tonight. (Vote not shown)
D.C.: *writing on the sheet* (Vote not shown)

Charlie:
If anybody has a hidden immunity idol and wants to play it, now it would be the time to do so. *Everyone looked at Kenya. Kenya played around with her necklace and she stood up.*
Kenya: I thought it over and over again about what to do with this. I thought about just throwing it into the fire to prove my loyalty. But that just seems stupid to me. So better safe than sorry, I'm using my idol on myself.
*Danielle frowned and Rhys seemed to start panicking.*
Charlie:
The rules of Survivor state that if anybody plays the hidden immunity idol then any votes cast against that person will not count. This is in fact the hidden immunity idol. Any votes cast on Kenya will not count. I'll read the votes.
First vote, Kenya. Does not count. *Kenya mouthed I knew it.*
Second vote, Kenya. Does not count.
Third vote, Kenya. Does not count. *Kenya sighed in relief.*
---------
Fourth vote, Claud. *Claud looked scared.* One vote Claud.
Fifth vote, D.C. *D.C. did not look pleased.* One vote Claud, one vote D.C., one vote left.
Sixth vote...
---------
The 17th person voted out of Survivor: Bloodlines, and the second member of our jury, is, D.C.. Please bring me your torch.
*D.C. looked a bit depressed as he hugged Rhys and Danielle goodbye.*
*Kenya was not pleased with the votes but she seemed relieved of the outcome.*
*Claud wiped away a sweat.*
Charlie: D.C., the tribe has spoken. (Torch Snuffed) Time for you to go to Ponderosa.
D.C.: Congratulations on the merge, you guys! Have fun!
Charlie: Well, he just stole my line. You will all officially merge tomorrow with the other tribe. The game will surely get a lot more interesting from this point forward. Now that there are only 10 of you left in this game, alliances cannot be more important. Bring your torch, head back to your camp, I'll see you tomorrow.
End*
Next time on, Charlie's Survivor:
The remaining participants merged into the Ibrida Tribe and moved to the original Striga campsite.
Relationships and romances were in the air.
Kenya felt betrayed by Rhys, while Claud was not happy with Kenya's vote against him either.
Another long and detailed updates, I'm really trying to get into everybody's minds in the game so there're a lot of confessionals :D This has been a lot of work again, so please provide feedback as they'll be greatly appreciated :P Please plus and comment to show your support! :) Thank you!
Julian and Kenya tried to find their place in their tribes.
In the tribal council, it was almost public revealed that the duel necklaces were in fact hidden immunity idols.
After a double elimination, Lupino tribe would soon face another tribal council.
Charlie: Now that everyone will have a say about who will be voted out from the Lupino tribe, how do y'all from the Lupino tribe feel about it?
David: It feels very unsettling, because that pretty much means the others will get to decide who on our tribe will be voted out.
Mike: Exactly, and now it just feels like we are about to plead our case to people from the other tribes why they should keep us around.
Julian: I see that as a bit of a silver lining because as you all can see that both me and Mike were close to being eliminated and there were a clear alliance between David and Rhys. So maybe this twist will help us.
Rhys: Or maybe the others will do whatever they wanna do.
Charlie: What are the thoughts of some other participants?
D.C.: I think it will be interesting to see how the votes will go since none of us really have any time to strategize with each other.
Kenya: I agree. This could be one of those votes that will be based on impressions with each other.
Benj: We did have some social interactions with each other before, which may help sway the votes.
Charlie: I'll give y'all a few minutes to think over your votes, and Claud, you will have to decide whether you want to give your immunity to one of the Lupino tribemates.
Claud: I think the fact that Julian had the guts to make a risky move to use his hidden immunity idol on Mike earns him the immunity. So I'm going to give the immunity to him.
Julian: Thank you so much!
Charlie: You cannot vote for Julian, but it's fair game for the rest of the Lupino tribe. It is time to vote. D.C., you're up first...
---------
D.C.: *writing Mike on the sheet*
Kara: *writing Rhys on the sheet*
Claud: *writing Rhys on the sheet*
Trey: Rhys, I'd be glad to see you gone.
Jack: David, I think you're a big threat in this game that we need to get rid of before merge.
Zak: *writing David on the sheet*
David: Mike, it is time for you to go now.
Mike: David, you think you run the tribe, but you don't.
Rhys: Mike, it would've been Julian but he has immunity.
Benj: *writing Mike on the sheet*
Danielle: I feel like you don't deserve to be here... (Vote not shown)
Kenya: Rhys, I feel like you could be a social threat, I'm sorry.
Julian: David, please just go instead of Mike...

---
---
Charlie:
If anybody has a hidden immunity idol and wants to play it, now it would be the time to do so. *Everyone looked at either Jack or Kenya, but neither reacted.* Once the votes are read, the decision is final. The person with the most votes will be voted out immediately. I'll read the votes.
First vote, Rhys.
Second vote, Mike.
Third vote, David.
Fourth vote, David. Two votes David, one vote Rhys, one vote Mike.
Fifth vote, Rhys. Two votes Rhys, two votes David, one vote Mike.
Sixth vote, Rhys. Three votes Rhys, two votes David, one vote Mike.
---------
Seventh vote, Mike. Three votes Rhys, two votes David, two votes Mike.
Eighth vote, Mike. Three votes Rhys, three votes Mike, two votes David.
Ninth vote, David. We're tie, at three votes each, for Rhys, Mike and David.
Tenth vote, David. Four votes David, three votes Rhys, three votes Mike.
---------
Eleventh vote, Mike. Four votes Mike, four votes David, three votes Rhys.
Twelfth vote, Rhys. We're tie again, at four votes each, for David, Rhys and Mike. One vote left...
Thirteenth vote...
---------
The 15th person voted out of Survivor: Bloodlines is, Mike. Please bring me your torch.
*Julian looked defeated.*
*David and Rhys shared a smile and looked content with the results.*
*Everyone waved good bye to Mike.*
Charlie: Mike, the tribe has spoken. (Torch Snuffed)
Mike: Thank you all for a wonderful game!
Charlie: Congratulations! You've now made it to final 12, and from now on, anybody eliminated from this game will be a part of the jury that determines who will win this season. But before I send you back to your camp, here's one more thing. *Crowd looked startled and curious.* It is now to regroup!
---------
(Theme Song)
---------
Charlie: The three tribes that we had will be no more. You will all be regrouped into two tribes. Julian and Kenya, since you're veterans, you will be separated and remain in your tribe, and you'll pick your tribemates one by one. Julian, you'll pick first.
Julian: I pick Kara.
Kenya: I pick D.C..
Julian: I pick David.
Kenya: I pick Zak.
Julian: I pick Trey.
Kenya: I pick Claud.
Julian: I pick Benj.
Kenya: I pick Rhys.
Julian: I pick Jack.
Kenya: I pick Danielle.
Charlie: Alright! Now that everyone has been split into two tribes, bring your torch, go back to your camp, I'll see you tomorrow.
At the Lupino tribe, everyone started to realize Trey and Kara did not have the best relationship with each other. Kara briefed them in about Trey's betrayal to his alliance and Trey was not happy about it. Jack felt that this could work out the best for him as people could now focus on the feud between Trey and Kara instead of thinking about his immunity necklace.
At the Hirudo tribe, Rhys, D.C. and Danielle were excited that they were in the same tribe and that they could potentially control the votes. Kenya had no idea about the trio, but she was very friendly with everybody. Claud and Zak were discussing the different options they had, either to stick with Danielle to cause majority or to try working with Kenya since she had the immunity necklace.
---
---
---
Charlie:
Good morning, everybody. Welcome to yet another immunity challenge. In today's challenge, three members from each tribe will be swimming to retrieve a total of three keys from the bottom of the river, then a member from each tribe will use the key to unlock a puzzle box. The remaining two members from each tribe will then solve the puzzle. Whichever tribe finishes solving the puzzle first wins immunity and is safe from tonight's tribal council. I'll give you a few minutes to decide who's doing what, then we'll get started...
---------
Lupino:
Key Retrievers: Benj, Kara, Julian
Key Master: Jack
Puzzle Solvers: Trey, David
Benj and D.C. both rushed and dove in the river to retrieve the keys, as the other participants followed. Benj, Kara and Julian were decent at swimming and retrieving the keys, but it looked like it took Kara quite a while to find the key for her tribe. Rhys was decent at swimming but D.C. and Kenya literally fished the keys out of the water in the fastest ways possible as they both seemed very good with water. Hirudo tribe finished retrieving the keys so fast that Lupino tribe was starting to get really nervous.
Jack was rather quick in unlocking the puzzle box and helped his tribe win back some time in the challenge, while Danielle was having trouble fitting in the right keys and lost her tribe quite an amount of time in the challenge.
Trey and David, Claud and Zak immediately started working on their puzzles as soon as the puzzle box was opened. Trey and David were looking through the puzzles carefully to figure out where everything would go, while Claud and Zak just started working on them right away. At the end, one of the duo was having problem listening to each other and their puzzle didn't even come close to being finished, while the other duo worked very cohesively with each other and finished the puzzle in a very fast speed...
---
---
---
HIRUDO wins immunity! I'm sorry Lupino tribe, you'll all have a date with me tonight at tribal council, where one of you will be voted out of this game.
---------
At the Hirudo tribe, everyone was excited about winning the challenge and not having to go to tribal council. They were all applauding Zak and Claud's compatibility in solving the puzzle. Kenya was relieved as she had not felt safe yet in this tribe, especially with her immunity necklace hanging around. Rhys rekindled with Kenya as they reminisced the one time they were at the cinema during one of last season's rewards. Kenya almost forgot that Rhys was there as Diva1: Diva's friend from home. D.C. was talking to Danielle and he learnt that Danielle felt a bit lonely without Benj around. D.C. got curious and asked if she liked Benj, Danielle said that she couldn't know for sure.
At the Lupino tribe, things got a bit heated as both Kara and Trey started accusing each other for the loss of the competition. Jack was sitting back and enjoying the chaos as he felt that put less targets on his back, while David was trying to calm both of them down. Julian and Benj were trying to get away from the fight and they went collecting water for the tribe. They bonded during the trip and Julian felt that he could be in a good shape in this tribe.
---
---
---
Tribal Council:
Charlie: How is everybody feeling for the tribal council?
Benj: It was a little bit intense at the camp today because Kara and Trey were fighting.
Charlie: What was the fight about?
David: Whose fault it was that we lost the challenge.
Charlie: Did you all come to a conclusion, or did the fight just stop?
Benj: I don't think any of us wants to blame anybody for us losing the challenge. It is just what it is.
Charlie: So do we know for sure that Kara and Trey will be voting against each other tonight?
Kara: Oh yeah I'm definitely writing his name down.
Trey: Same here.
Charlie: So it would be very easy to say, why don't we just jump on the wagon and choose a side?
Benj: Oh absolutely. But I think we also have to think about the alternatives.
Charlie: What alternatives are there?
Benj: For instance, they could be staging a fight just to throw us off so that they could secretly blindside somebody, or we could use this opportunity to blindside somebody as well.
David: Is that what you're thinking of doing tonight?
Benj: I'm not. But I'm sure we're all thinking about it.
Charlie: With that, it is time to vote. Benj, you're up first...
---------
Benj: *writing on the sheet* (Vote not shown)
David: *writing Kara on the sheet*
Julian: I'm sorry but you'll have to go. (Vote not shown)
Kara: Trey, you just really need to go.
Trey: Kara, stop whining and just leave please.
Jack: I'm so glad you get the attention off of me, have fun at Ponderosa. (Vote not shown)
---
---
---
Charlie:
If anybody has a hidden immunity idol and wants to play it, now it would be the time to do so. *Everyone looked at Jack, but he pretended not to notice.* Once the votes are read, the decision is final. The person with the most votes will be voted out immediately. I'll read the votes.
First vote, Trey.
Second vote, Kara.
Third vote, Kara. Two votes Kara, one vote Trey.
Fourth vote, Trey. Two votes Trey, two votes Kara.
Fifth vote, Trey. Three votes Trey, two votes Kara, one vote left...
Sixth vote...
---------
The 16th person voted out of Survivor: Bloodlines, and the first member of our jury, is, Trey. Please bring me your torch.
*Kara looked extremely satisfied with the result.*
*David looked unhappy as he was not in the majority votes.*
*Jack smiled and waved bye at Trey.*
Charlie: Trey, the tribe has spoken. (Torch Snuffed) Time for you to go to Ponderosa.
Trey: I'll see you there in a bit!
Charlie: As everyone voted out from now on will be jury members, y'all really need to think about how to win those jury votes for the end of this game. Bring your torch, head back to your camp, I'll see you tomorrow.
End*
Next time on, Charlie's Survivor:
With the impending merge, everyone was contemplating on alliances after the merge.
Benj and Danielle's friendship got a bit serious ever since they were apart.
Kenya considered throwing away her immunity necklace to prove her loyalty.
