Episode 15
Pinili Camp (Day 32)
After blindsiding Greg at the last Tribal Council, the tribe returned to camp conflicted within each other.
On the losing side is Natalie, Michelle and Jaclyn, who all had a bone to pick with each other; Natalie for misplaying her idol, Jaclyn for voting against Kellee instead of Christian and Michelle throwing her vote to Teresa for whatever reason she had, the girls argued with each other all night but they eventually made their differences for the sake of the alliance, However all of them now feel small hostility against each other.
Meanwhile on the winning side is Christian, Teresa, Kellee, Jay and Reynold, whom despite not being in the same wavelength during Tribal Council, they were still able to pull a fast one on Greg and took victory in that move. The five of them now feel confident about being able to get to the final five together.
(that'll be it for today, it's just a short story for now, I'd like to keep things somewhat simple this round; no reward challenge, because it will be a back-to-back elimination, two separate Tribal Councils will happen in two days in row, as it'll be the "penultimate" episode. Enjoy!)
Immunity Challenge (Day 33)
Challenge: Fire and Water
Alright, are you guys ready to get to today's Immunity Challenge? Firsts things first, Reynold, I need to take it back, once again immunity is back up for grabs. For today's challenge:
Castaways will have a very high seesaw-contraption with two small drums, one on each side (the first side has a small hole at the bottom, while the the drum is hollowed in the middle). They must create a large fire in the hollowed drum, while filling the other drum with water (the logic is to keep the fire going while filling the water can to raise the fire can). The first person to ignite the fuse on top of their seesaw wins immunity.
Challenge: https://strawpoll.com/qxv3aj8d8
(Same rules apply as last time, you can vote for many players as you want, but please keep in mind to vote for who you think should realistically win this challenge. The challenge advantages will be listed in each poll.)
(And to make this post into a poll... I'm going to create my own surprise twist and have you decide which of these five people should get a temporary +5 vote advantage to help them win this challenge.)
(YouTube only allows up to five choices, so Reynold and Michelle will be sitting this poll out, they're already in the maximum capacity, Kellee can also sit out since she's the next highest, so you can only choose between these five.)
Immunity Challenge Results (Day 33)
Reynold, Michelle and Christian, are neck and neck, all three have a good fire going, all that's left is for them to pour water to raise that fire high enough to win immunity, Michelle is slowing down, Reynold back with another bucket, it's not enough, Christian is back with another bucket, will be enough? And it is!! Christian wins Immunity!!
Christian, come on over, immunity is yours for a second time. As for the rest of you, Tribal Council tonight where after 33 days, somebody will be the seventeenth person voted out and the seventh member of our Jury. You all have the afternoon to figure out who it's going to be. Good Luck, I'll see you at Tribal Council.
(This challenge was extremely closer than any challenge we have so far, Reynold and Christian did end up having a tie with 53 votes each (this included their advantages), Michelle was close behind at 52, but I gave the win to Christian because he got the more "real" votes than Reynold and because he also won the YouTube poll. Congrats to him.)
Pinili Camp (Day 33)
Christian breathed a sigh of relief from being able to win immunity once again, he knew that he was prime target #1 for most people and he did almost got voted out last time if it weren't for the girls' dysfunction. So now feels safe that he is guaranteed to stay for another round.
Teresa knew to not mess around any longer and that they should go and vote out one of the girls out tonight, she knew that the girls have been somewhat bickering with each other ever since the last tribal and Teresa would need to exploit that, she went and told Michelle to make a big move again, told Natalie that people see her as a goat and she should do something about it, and told Jaclyn that she's being targeted by everyone to get her paranoid.
Natalie, Jaclyn and Michelle regrouped and told each other what Teresa told them, which made them consider voting her out, but knew that they don't have the numbers and no one would be willing to flip on her, since she's actually playing a great social game, so they decided to target Reynold for being a physical threat and going really well in challenges. They reached out to Jay and Kellee to try and persuade them to do so.
Jay and Kellee knew that this wasn't the right time to flip on the majority, and they decided to keep it simple for tonight and vote out either Jaclyn or Natalie, knowing that neither of them would have an idol, keeping Michelle for her inherently weak physicality and challenge liability. It would be stupid for them to not take the shot at the women while they are still weak and outnumbered.
The women did see Jay and Kellee going and talking to the rest of the tribe and knew that they are toast, and they may have to start cannibalizing each other in order to survive. The women embraced each other, and they knew that whatever happens tonight, they are still an alliance.
Tribal Council #17 (Day 33)
After a crazy blindside on Greg at the last tribal council, the majority alliance of Christian, Teresa, Jay, Kellee and Reynold felt even more fortified and united to vote out the minority with Natalie, Jaclyn and Michelle, whom only fell apart as they bickered with each other because of their selfish plays during the vote.
After winning immunity, Christian was safe, and Teresa rallied everyone to just vote either Natalie or Jaclyn, while throwing out some paranoia as well. The women knew that they had to do something and tried getting Kellee and Jay to flip, but alas, their luck has run out and they each accepted their fate.
Can the women still find a way to slither out of the bottom? or are their fates set in stone?

Tribal Council #17 Results (Day 33)
I'll go tally the votes.

First vote, Jaclyn
Teresa
Reynold (that's 1 vote each Reynold, Jaclyn and Teresa)
Jaclyn
Jaclyn (that's 3 votes Jaclyn, 1 vote Reynold, 1 vote Teresa)
The seventeenth person voted out of Survivor: Second Chance and the seventh member of our jury; Jaclyn.
That's 4, tonight that is enough, you need to bring me your Torch.
Jaclyn, the Tribe has spoken, time for you to go.
With this vote, the "biggest" threat is now gone, who will it be now? You can head back to camp, good night.
