The Chandal tribe returns to their camp after Matty’s sendoff. Barbie is fuming.
Barbie (babiicakes): [Through sobs] I knew Survivor would be hard. But I didn’t think it would be this hard, this fast! I’ve been betrayed by my best friends in this game and I have no idea what I’m going to do now.
Viv goes to comfort Barbie.
Viv (ElectraViv): In the end, we decided that it would be smarter to keep Ali and vote off Matty. We just didn’t really have time to tell Barbie, so she was blindsided.
Viv and Barbie go off in the forest to talk.
“Listen, Barbie,” Viv says kindly. “I’m sorry we didn’t tell you we were voting Matty out. We didn’t think it would be such a big deal. I just hope you know that you’re still my number one in this game! We can vote Ali out next.”
“Oh, really?” Barbie says softly as she blows her nose. “Well, I’m glad.”
Barbie (babiicakes): I guess I should just be glad I have a friend as good as Viv out here in India.
“I hope your not upset. Don’t worry, you’re not at the bottom!” Viv reassures her.
Dru (BengalBoy): Barbie is acting like a blithering idiot. Or maybe she just is one. I didn’t vote for Ali either but you don’t see me having a cry about it.

INTRO PLAYS
-
At the Lahpur tribe, Dylan, Kris, and Ben wake up and sit around the fire.
Dylan (DJ4460): It was miserable spending the first few days without fire. Not only were we freezing at night but we weren’t able to boil water.
“Kris, wanna go to the well and get some water?” Dylan asks. Kris agrees and the pair heads off.
Dylan (DJ4460): My plan was to go to the well and talk to Kris about strategy. Instead we were met with a shocking sight along the way.
“Oh s***!” Kris shrieks, staring at something on the ground.
“Oh my god,” Dylan says wide-eyed. “How did that get there?”
“I don’t know, bro. But we need to bring it back to camp.”
The pair comes running back to the Lahpur camp talking loudly.
“What the hell is going on,” grumbles Marcus, rubbing his eyes.
“You know I need my beauty sleep!” Eric says crassly.
“On our way to the well, we found something that everyone needs to see,” Dylan explains. He holds it out, and everyone on the tribe gasps. In his hand is… a used needle.
“How the hell did that get here!” Jenna exclaims in a shocked tone.
“It couldn’t have belonged to one of us,” Marcus figures. “They do a full-body search. None of us could have brought that in. It was probably already here before we started.”
“Well, they don’t do a full cavity search. I guess someone could have brought it in if they really wanted to,” Admir says jokingly.
The tribe comes to a conclusion that the needle must have been in the forest before the game had started, as no one could have snuck it in.
Torsa (Gardenia): Everyone else seemed to brush it under the rug. But I can think of someone with the anal capacity and physical dependency that would require them to bring hard drugs. I thought it best not to say anything else on the matter, though.
Torsa stares at Nic, who is still in a deep sleep despite all the commotion, before joining her tribe in conversation.
-
“Come on in guys!” Jeff Probst calls out. “Chandal now coming in. Matty voted out at last night’s tribal council.”
The Lahpur tribe members look over at the new tribe. None seem too shocked.
“Alright, time to get to today’s challenge. This will be played one versus one. Each round, both players will attempt to push the other off of the platform and into the mud. First tribe to three points wins. Wanna see what you’re playing for?”
“Yes!!”
Jeff Probst pulls a tarp off of the table revealing the prize. “A grill with meat, vegetables, and spices. Having this food could make a huge difference in your performance in the next immunity challenge. Worth playing for?”
“Yes!”
“Alright. I’ll give you a few minutes to strategize.”
-
“Alright, the first matchup is going to be Eric for Lahpur and Dru for Chandal.”
The round is over in under five seconds as Dru quickly pushes Eric over the edge.
“Alright, one point Chandal. The next matchup will be Kris for the Lahpur tribe and Steve for the Chandal tribe.”
The two contestants struggle for a minute, wrestling on the platform, before Kris pushes Steve into the mud. Chandal cheers.
“OK then. We’re tied, one to one. Next matchup is Torsa for Lahpur and Candace for Chandal.”
Torsa starts moving towards Candace who screams and immediately jumps in the mud. Her tribe mates roll their eyes.
“That’s two points for Lahpur, one point Chandal. Next matchup is Jenna for Lahpur and Viv for Chandal.”
The two ladies struggle in the middle of the platform for a minute until Viv grabs Jenna by her hair and starts dragging her over to the edge. Her tribe cheers her on but, in a last minute upset, Jenna swings her wooden leg around, hitting Viv in the head and causing her to let go of her hair. Jenna finishes the job by giving Viv a quick shove on the back and knocking her into the mud.
“That’s three points, and that’ll do it! Lahpur! Wins! Reward!” Jeff Probst announces as the winning tribe cheers. “Your reward will be waiting for you back at camp.”
-
The Lahpur tribe excitedly returns to their camp.
“I’m so proud of us, guys! We really needed this!” Kris booms.
“I’m going to go get some coconuts so we can have a real feast tonight,” Jenna says excitedly as she prepares her bag.
“I’ll come with you, babe! I mean, Jenna,” Dylan says with a smirk. The pair goes off into the forest.
Mikey (Mikey_Elite): Dylan is kind of annoying. He follows Jenna around like her little puppy. I think he’s maybe just a bit naive, but everyone can tell and it’s not going to help his game in the long run.
“Would you get a load of those two,” Nic says with an eye roll.
Torsa (Gardenia): Nic was complaining about Dylan, and I think everyone finds him pretty obnoxious, but I think Nic is annoyed because he wants to be the one sucking up to Jenna and for now his brownnosing has taken a back seat.
Nic is rummaging through the spices from the reward when a small piece of paper falls out.
Nic (rawr25): I could not believe it! I found the clue to the hidden immunity idol! I’m not gonna share it with anyone until I find the real thing.
-
At the Chandal tribe, morale is low after the loss.
Ali (ak73): I can’t believe I got put on this tribe. Trust me, I am NOT used to being on the losing tribe. I was hoping for a supertribe but instead I’m with this group of morons.
“Guys, I know we lost, but let’s not give up hope! We could do something fun tonight. What about a party?” Allie suggests. She is met by grumbles and silence from the rest of her tribemates.
Allie (AllieBoBallie): I was just trying to do something to raise tribe morale, but no one else seemed interested. Maybe we really are doomed.
Viv (ElectraViv): Honestly, Allie is really annoying me. A party? Seriously?
Elsewhere, Candace and Matt are talking strategy.
“Listen, Matt,” Candace says nervously. “I know you don’t like me, and I don’t like you, but I think it would be in both of our best interests to work together.”
“What?” Matt says, surprised. “I’ve always liked you, Candace…”
“Oh,” Candace replies awkwardly. “Me too. Forget I said that. Anyway, I think me, you, Gemma, and Dru should make an alliance. We’re probably the most sane people here and I think we could go far together.”
“That sounds pretty good to me, I guess,” Matt ponders. “But who would we vote off first?”
“Well, I was thinking Ali, but the real reason I came to you was because we need to vote off Barbie. I think she is dragging this tribe down.”
“Yeah, you might be right about that. Let’s talk more if we lose the immunity challenge.”
“Sounds good to me.”
-
The next morning, Nic is awake bright and early, rummaging through the trees.
Nic (rawr25): I got up early probably for the first time in my entire life. I couldn’t sleep, anyway, for unrelated reasons, so I decided to go find the idol. From the clue, I knew that it would be hidden under a large oddly-shaped tree, and I remembered seeing one in one of my walks through the woods.
Nic stops at a tree and digs underneath before looking up in a hole in the tree. From there he snatches the idol and quickly unwraps it.
Nic (rawr25): I couldn’t believe it! It was in the first place I looked! For now I’m keeping it to myself but I’ll probably tell Mikey and Jenna when I get the chance.
-
“Come on in guys!” Jeff Probst calls out. Both tribes enter. “Immunity is back up for grabs. Let’s get to today’s challenge.”
The camera pans over a large field, filled with brown and green puzzle pieces.
“For this challenge, one person will be your caller. The others tribe members will be blindfolded and paired up. Using only verbal command, the caller must direct their other tribe members to collect ten very large puzzle pieces scattered in the field. Once you have all your pieces, take off your blindfolds and the entire tribe works together to solve the puzzle. First tribe to solve the puzzle safe tonight from tribal council, losers voting somebody out. Lahpur, you have an extra person, who will be sitting out this time?”
“I will,” Eric says.
“Alright, Eric take a spot on the bench. Everybody else, I’ll give you a minute to strategize then we’ll get started.”
-
“Alright! The caller for the Lahpur tribe is Mikey. Calling for Chandal is Allie. For immunity, survivors ready… Go!”
The blindfolded pairs head out into the field. Barbie and Viv instantly run into a barrel and fall over.
“Marcus! Kris! Go to your left!” Mikey calls out. “No! Your other left!” he screams as they promptly head right.
“Dru and Gemma! Stop right there! Right in front of you!” Allie yells. The pair picks up the first piece.
“I don’t mind being tied together. I think I could get used to this,” Dylan says to Jenna with a smirk before banging his knee hard on a puzzle piece and swearing.
“WRONG PIECE! WRONG PIECE!” Allie yells at Barbie and Viv. “PUT IT DOWN!” The pair looks confused.
Nic and Ben bring back the first puzzle piece for the Lahpur tribe, with Admir and Torsa not too far behind.
“Everybody heading back with puzzle pieces! Oh, except Viv and Barbie who seem to be off the field,” Jeff narrates.
More chaos ensues as the two tribes get their first few pieces. Lahpur quickly takes the lead.
“Jenna and Dylan, coming back with the eighth puzzle piece for Lahpur! Chandal behind once again,” Jeff Probst says.
Matt and Candace come back with Chandal’s sixth puzzle piece.
“Alright! Matt! Candace! Go straight, you’re right in line with the next one!” Allie calls out.
Admir and Torsa are coming towards the mat with a puzzle piece.
“Yes! Right towards my voice!” Mikey screams.
“Admir and Torsa with the last puzzle piece for Lahpur! Take off your blindfolds!” Jeff proust yells. “Lahpur now with a HUGE lead!”
“COME! BACK! TO ME!” Allie yells as Ali and Steve wander aimlessly in the field with a puzzle piece.
Meanwhile, the Lahpur tribe is quickly assembling their puzzle.
“Yeah, put that one right there,” Mikey instructs as Marcus places a puzzle piece.
“Yes! Right here!” Allie screams as Gemma and Dru walk towards Chandal’s mat.
“Gemma and Dry coming back with the final piece for Chandal, but it looks like it’s too little too late!” Jeff Probst says as Ben puts the last piece of the puzzle in.
“Jeff! We got it!” Kris yells.
“Lahpur thinks they’ve got it….. And they do! Lahpur wins immunity!”
Lahpur celebrates as Jeff gives them the idol.
“Chandal, same result, another trip to tribal council. Head back to camp, I will see you at tribal tonight.”
Candace (Icing): I can’t believe we lost again. At this point I’m just hoping for a tribe swap, and quick.
-
After the immunity challenge, the Lahpur tribe is celebrating their win but Nic has something else he needs to do.
Nic (rawr25): After the challenge, I decided it was the right time to tell my allies about the idol.
“Alright,” Nic whispers to Mikey and Jenna, “You two are my best friends in the entire world, in and out of this game. So I have something to show you.” Nic quickly unwraps the idol to show his two allies.
“Oh my god!” Jenna exclaims.
Jenna (jenzie): When Nic showed me the idol, I wanted to jump for joy! The cards have been dealt on this tribe and they’re all falling in my favor.
“Have you shown anyone else?” Mikey asks.
“Nope, only the two of you,” Nic says, beaming. “And I trust you’ll keep it a secret.”
“Of course we will,” Jenna replies.
“Don’t even tell Dylan,” Nic clarifies. “I’m not sure how trustworthy that guy is.”
“Don’t worry! This will stay between the three of us,” Jenna agrees.
-
As the Chandal tribe returns from the challenge, the scrambling begins immediately. Candace and Matt scurry off to discuss their newly-formed alliance.
“So if we have me, you, Dru, and Gemma, we just need one more for majority,” Candace says.
“I think that should be pretty easy to get” Matt figures. “But the real question is, who do we take out?”
Just at that point, Viv and Gemma walk in and join the conversation.
Viv (ElectraViv): Gemma and I walked in on Candace and Matt having a conversation and they seemed like they were up to something. We had an all girls alliance, why is she talking strategy with him?
“What’s up guys?” Viv asks.
“We were just talking about who the vote should be tonight,” Candace says nonchalantly. “Personally, I’m thinking it’s between Ali and Barbie.”
“Allie and Barbie??” Viv says in a shocked tone. “That’s definitely not what I was expecting…”
“Well, I guess I’m always down for a big move,” Viv says slyly. “I just wasn’t expecting a blindside this soon! But I think out of those two, the vote should definitely be Allie.”
“I agree,” Matt says.
Matt (smuguy2012): I was confused at first, but I think I know what’s going on. Candace wants to take out Ali the guy, who we've been complaining about since day 1, but Viv thinks she means she wants to backstab Allie the girl. Hopefully, the misunderstanding continues because I have my own plan I want to hatch.
Matt joins their conversation, seemingly out of nowhere.
“Guys, I have a plan for tonight if you’re down.”
“What’s up?” Dru asks.
“I think we have an opportunity to get Viv out tonight, if you guys think that would be good.”
“Viv?” Ali asks. “I don’t think that’s a good idea. Also, why would you come up to me asking me to vote out a good friend? Stupid.”
“Would it change your mind to know that Viv is planning on voting you out tonight?” Matt replied.
Matt (smuguy2012): I had to lie to Ali, but I think it’ll work out. Plus, I can get someone to corroborate the lie.
“Candace, come over here for a sec!” Matt says, and Candace joins the conversation.
“Did Viv or did she not just say she’s voting Ali out tonight?”
“She did,” Candace says point-blankly.
“What!” Ali says, clearly shocked. “Well, if that’s how she wants to play it…”
Ali (ak73): I was really surprised to hear that Viv is gunning for me. But there’s no way she’s taking my crown as the king of Survivor on Day f***ing six. Bye bye.
Back in the woods, Viv and Barbie are having a conversation.
Barbie (babiicakes): I was blindsided at the last tribal and I don’t want it to happen again. But, I know Viv will tell me the truth.
“What is happening tonight?” Barbie asks.
“Alright, here’s the plan. Now, I’m telling you that I did hear your name tonight, but people decided to blindside Allie instead. I think she’s just too lazy around camp and people find her annoying. So you shouldn’t be in harm’s way at this point,” Viv lays out.
“Oh, wow. I guess I’m down to vote Allie. But are you sure that’s what’s happening?”
“Barbie. You are my best friend in this game. OK, that’s a lie - Gemma is my best friend. But we’re really close. I PROMISE you I’m not lying. I swear on my life.”
“Alright, then.”
As the sun starts to set, the Chandal members grab their torches and start the hike.
Matt (smuguy2012): The plan tonight hinges almost directly on how many people were confused by who we’re voting for. Hopefully it’ll be enough for the vote to go my way.
-
“Welcome back,” Jeff Probst says as the Chandal tribe arrives at tribal council. “This is your second tribal council in a row. Gemma, how does it feel to not only be at tribal again but to have lost three challenges in a row?”
“Not great, Jeff,” Gemma says, “But hopefully after tonight’s vote we’ll be a stronger team both physically and emotionally.”
“Steve, the last vote seemed to be pretty straightforward - Matty cost you the challenge, so you voted him out. Will this vote be the same?”
“I’m not sure, to be honest,” Steve replies. “I guess I don’t think it will be as straightforward this time, no. I don’t think the person who’s going is expecting it.”
“So, is a blindside in store?”
“Yeah, I’d expect so.”
“Allie, give me a rundown of the tribe dynamics.”
“I think they are pretty complicated,” Allie remarks. “There are definitely a couple of alliances right now, and it’s hard to tell who is loyal to whom.”
“Do you feel secure at tonight’s vote?”
“Not really, no, honestly. It could be me tonight.”
“Viv, do you think it’s too early to make a big move?”
“Well, Jeff,” Viv says shrewdly, “I think it’s never too early to make a big move. And rocking the boat might be just what this tribe needs right now.”
“Well said. With that, I think it’s time to vote. Candace, you’re up.”
-
Candace [for Ali]: I’ll be happy to see you go. Sayonara.
-
Viv [for Allie]: Sorry girl! Have fun at Ponderosa.
-
Ali [for Viv]: You thought you could backstab me, but I have the upper hand this time.
-
“I’ll go tally the votes.”
"If anyone has a hidden immunity idol and you want to play it, now would be the time to do so."
There is silence as the castaways all glance at each other.
“OK. Once the votes are read the decision is final. The person voted out will be asked to leave the tribal council area immediately. I’ll read the votes.”
“First vote…”
-
“Ali”
-
“Ali”
Viv has a confused look on her face.
-
“Allie”
-
“Allie”
Realization dawns on Viv as the fourth vote is read.
-
“Allie”
“Oh my god,” Candace mutters with her head in her hands.
-
“Viv”
-
“Viv”
Viv now has a concerned look on her face.
-
“Viv. That’s three votes Viv, three votes Allie, two votes Ali, one vote left.”
Barbie is biting her nails.
-
“The second person voted out of Survivor: India…”
-
“Viv. Please bring me your torch.”
Viv gets up, furious, to grab her torch.
“Viv, your tribe has spoken. Time for you to go.”
“I was the heart and soul of this tribe. Have fun losing every other challenge. Bye bitches,” Viv says as she leaves.
"And the king stays king!" Ali shouts out at her.
Barbie’s mouth is, once again, hanging open.
“Either that was a split vote gone wrong, or there was a major miscommunication. Either way, this tribe needs to get it together. Grab your torches, head back to camp. Good night.”
