Episode 12
Post-Tribal Veitavalu Camp (Day 25)
The tribe returned to camp all feeling somewhat confused about the event that just transpired.
Devon was in awe that his plan didn't fully work, and was confused about what went wrong, he confronted Victoria about her ruining the plan, and she responded by saying that even though she wanted Natalie out just as much as he did, her sticking with Keith would lock in Sophie and Lauren as their allies down the line, providing them numbers when they needed it, but now they have to figure out how to make them trust them again to make another move.
Meanwhile, the whole majority alliance was really confused about what just transpired, with the idol play and tie breaker putting them in the rare occasion of having to turn on each other, and it revealed some insight upon the plans of the alliance moving forward. As no one really wanted Keith to go home, Sophie and Lauren were able to deflect the blame by saying that Keith was too much of a social and physical threat to keep moving forward, and they were still able to flush Devon's idol, of which no one knew about. But ultimately the vote has left many of them worried about their position in their alliance.
Particularly Abi and Fabio, Abi now sees him as untrustworthy because of how he suddenly voted for Natalie, she is now worried about what exactly are their position in the alliance, and thinks that maybe now is the time to jump ship. While Fabio, really had no idea what just transpired, he was left out of consensus as he was the only one of his alliance that voted for Natalie in the revote and he feels like everyone has turned on him. He later chatted with Marty, who revealed that he too didn't know what was going on and he just voted randomly, not thinking straight. The figured that the Covu Alliance is gone and it's just the two of them now, and they can't trust anyone.
(Sorry for the long wait, it's just been hectic at school right now, that I am running out of time and energy to make Dream Seasons, but don't worry I will still try my best to provide quality content, but do expect some "inconsistencies" here and there. But the Game continues on, as we will have our Reward Challenge in a few hours. Thank You for tuning in!!)
Reward Challenge (Day 25)
Barrel Bridge
Alright, are you guys ready to get to today's reward challenge? For today's challenge:
You will be divided into four teams of three. Using only three barrels, a single wooden plank and some rope, you must work together to make your way across the beach and to the finish platform, without anyone from your team falling or in any way touch the ground, if you do, you will have to start over all the way from the beginning. First team to get all three members onto their finish platform, wins reward.
Want to know what you are playing for? It is rejuvenation. A whole night at a Survivor Resort and Spa, where you can enjoy a nice hot bath and get all cleaned up, along with a good night's rest on a nice soft bed. Should be a very nice evening, and could be just what to need to push through the next 14 days. Worth playing for? Alright, we'll draw for teams, we'll get started.
Alright, for our teams... For Blue, we have Rodney, Andrea and Marty. For Black, we have Devon, Lauren and Fabio. For White, we have Victoria, Abi and Malcolm. And for Red, we have Janet, Natalie and Sophie.
Survivors Ready?? Go!!
Challenge: https://strawpoll.com/84shx3cpx
(This challenge is for +4 challenge advantage points for each team member. Please vote on which team do you think should realistically win this challenge, these polls will end at 12:00 mn EST. Good Luck!!)
Reward Challenge Results (Day 25)
All four teams are off to a fast start, everyone using the barrels as platforms and the plank to walk across each barrel, there many strategies you can use with the items given to you, but this challenge is all about teamwork and cooperation, if any one teammate falls and touches the ground, you all start over from the beginning. White team making a lot of progress, Black Team right behind them, Red team seems to be stuck right now, and Marty falls, Blue team has to start over.
The tricky part about this challenge, is that you have one less barrel and one less plank to work with, but you only have three people get across to the finish. Red is really slowing down, Blue trying to get back in it, meanwhile Black and White are already halfway through, both teams are neck and neck right now, both teams have a system and it is working. Red and Blue are no where near, all they can hope for right now is for the other two teams to make a mistake. Black and White are very close to the finish, it is a race now, but they have to be careful, one small mistake can send you all the way back. Lauren is first on the platform for Black, Andrea on it for White, it is very close right now, Fabio is done, Victoria is there, it's now down to Devon and Malcolm, who can get there first? Devon makes a jump for it... and lands it!! Black team wins Reward!!
Alright, Fabio, Lauren, Devon, congratulations, you guys just won a luxurious night at the Survivor Resort and Spa, a chopper is waiting for you over there, head out, enjoy your reward. As for the rest of you, I've got nothing for you, grab your stuff head back to camp.
Veitavalu Camp (Day 25)
The tribe returned from the reward challenge, and after a few spiels of how difficult that challenge was, it was ultimately not the best reward so far and it's fine to have lost this one.
Soon, Abi takes the opportunity to talk to Victoria and Malcolm about possibly doing something to vote out Fabio, as she fears that she and Natalie are low on the totem pole and are possibly expendable on the Covus' behalf, and that they are willing to make a move if they are.
But Malcolm, doesn't trust her one bit, especially not right after she just used her challenge disadvantage on him in the previous immunity challenge. So he reaches out to Andrea to tell her that Abi is thinking of jumping ship from their alliance, and maybe they should just take her out right now. However, Andrea actually agrees with Abi's side as she also fears that Fabio and Marty have too much power in that alliance, and she willingly voted Keith out last night to weaken them as Keith was being loyal to them. And now Malcolm, is stumped about what to do.
Meanwhile, at the reward, Lauren, Devon and Fabio, all felt a lot awkward, given the events that has happened throughout the game so far, they all really do not trust each other at all, and even noted that this is possibly the worst trio that could've ever been stuck together on a reward. But soon during Dinner, Lauren speaks up and confesses that she doesn't trust the other two much, to which Fabio and Devon both agree as well. But Fabio makes a point of which the rest of the tribe probably also know that the three of them aren't the best of friends, and maybe they could use that to their advantage and strike together, when nobody could see it coming... Lauren and Devon are both interested at his proposal.
Immunity Challenge (Day 26)
House of Cards
Alright, are you guys ready to get to today's immunity challenge? First's things first, Victoria, I need to take it back, once again immunity is up for grabs, for today's challenge:
With one hand, you will have to hold on and steady a balancing board, while simultaneously using your other hand to build a house of cards, first person to build their house of cards high enough to reach the finish mark, wins immunity, safe from the vote.
We'll draw for spots, we'll get it on.
For Immunity... Survivors Ready?? Go!
Challenge: https://strawpoll.com/gfvq5s4xg
(You can vote for as many players as you want, please vote on who do you think should realistically win this challenge, challenge advantages points will be listed in the poll, this poll will end at 12:00 mn EST. Good Luck!!)
Immunity Challenge Results (Day 26)
It has been five minutes, Andrea, Sophie, Fabio, Lauren, Malcolm, Victoria and Devon are all making good progress. Everyone else, are not even close. Victoria loses control of the balance board and loses half her tower, that's how easy it is to make a mistake in this challenge. You need to build a steady foundation for your tower, but you also need to have enough to make it to the finish mark, tile management is important but you also have to be fast, as Sophie and Andrea know very well, they both participated in this challenge before and they both lost. Big redemption for them if they can pull it off.
Lauren currently in the lead, Andrea, Fabio and Malcolm right behind her, And Lauren, loses a few tiles, that'll be a setback, that opens it up for Andrea and Malcolm to take the lead now, that how fast this challenge can change course, and like that Malcolm loses everything, he has to start over, meanwhile Fabio and Sophie are both slow and steady, Andrea needs to make sure she stays in the lead, and as I say it, she loses a bunch of tiles, massive setback for Andrea, Fabio and Sophie are neck and neck right now, while Lauren has built her tower back up, she's now back in it.
It is a race now, immunity is on the line, who will get it first? Fabio with nice save, Sophie is close, Lauren is close, all three within a few inches... and Sophie has it!! Sophie wins immunity!!
Sophie come on over, not only did you just redeem yourself in this challenge, but you also just won individual immunity, you are safe in tonight's tribal council, cannot be voted out of this game, congrats. As for the rest of you, tribal council tonight, where somebody will be the thirteenth person voted out and the third member of our jury. Big stakes, grab your stuff head back to camp, I'll see you all at tribal.
Veitavalu Camp (Day 26)
Sophie feels wonderful about being able to win that challenge, and with her and Lauren doing something reckless last tribal, she definitely feels like she needed to win this immunity, and now she can take it easy tonight, knowing that she ain't going home.
Malcolm, Victoria, Sophie and Janet later meets up with Devon and Lauren to tell them that Andrea, Abi, Natalie and Rodney, are willing to flip on Fabio and Marty to hopefully blindside them or at the very least, flush their idols, they have ten people to work with, they need to make sure that they feel comfortable to not play anything, as they will be splitting their votes 5-5 between them. Although Lauren points out the elephant in the room; "What if they both play their idols?"
With that thought, everyone began to scramble for a third target... Abi and Natalie decides to unite the former Majority Alliance of themselves, Fabio, Andrea, Marty, Lauren, Sophie and Rodney into taking out Malcolm, as he is vulnerable tonight, and as Abi heard from Andrea that Malcolm was gunning for her yesterday, right after she lent him an olive branch. And Malcolm soon hears his name and retaliates by gathering Devon, Janet, Victoria, and then letting Fabio and Marty know about Abi's defection so they could flip and take her out.
But back at the spa reward, Devon, Fabio and Lauren, agreed to form a coalition, with their other allies like Janet, Marty, Victoria and Sophie. Having seven votes to possibly blindside either Andrea or Natalie, two big physical and strategic threats in the game. But Devon and Lauren are thorn right now, as they've got an opportunity to blindside Fabio, all they have to do is make him comfortable enough to not play it, and it'll be a big move. But they did just make an alliance with him, and they question if that is the better way for them to go.
All the while Fabio and Marty are becoming ever so paranoid, they have heard their names come up, and their idols have become public knowledge, they want to save the idols for later, especially since people are considering them as big threats, and need it for the future, but right now, they might have to use it to see Day 27.
Tribal Council #13 (Day 26)
The last tribal council really shook things up for this game, with the vote resulting in everyone realizing that they aren't on solid alliances anymore and are scrambling to find new allegiances.
Abi started feeling paranoid about Fabio and Marty and she and Natalie were about ready to flip on them. They reached out to Malcolm about their plan, whom doesn't trust them at first and relays it to Andrea who then reveals that she too wants to oust Fabio and Marty, and just like that, everyone was in agreement to get rid of Fabio, Marty and their pesky idols.
But Fabio made some new connections through some old ones, as he, Lauren and Devon, won a spa reward, and decided to bring together a coalition of themselves, Marty, Janet, Sophie and Victoria, to take out either Andrea or Natalie for being big physical and strategic threats.
However, while Fabio and Marty are in stormy waters, they both had immunity idols to keep them safe, and with the risk of those idols in play, people began to look for an alternative target. Abi heard about Malcolm's mistrust of her and she gathers the old majority alliance to take him out, but Malcolm retaliates by putting a target on her as well.
Looks like things are about to change drastically, let's see how it will go.
