SURVIVOR: GRAHAM ISLANDS
Hello, viewers!
This is my fan-fiction series about the CBS-reality show, Survivor.
This is dedicated to them, and any basic rules like those of idols, tribals, challenges, logos, or any more belong to them. This season follows a similar format to their "Survivor: Borneo" aka Season 1. This is also dedicated to Skybeagle16's "Survivor: Plush Island" on YouTube. Thank you for listening, and enjoy the season!
This first episode "Dear Confidence" consists of Day 1, "Off To A Rough Start", Day 2, "Splitting The Confidence", and Day 3, "First Elimination".
Survivor: Graham Islands - Day 1 (Off To A Rough Start)
It was a beautiful day on Graham Island. So nobody expected the ship that pulled in at the docks early that morning. The ship was full of people who would change the island… and the world… forever.
Each member slowly trooped off the ship, as their host, Ray Ravagers, stood in front of them on the moist, ominous shoreline.
"Hello, castaways!" Ray greeted, "And welcome to Survivor!"
The castaways all clapped and cheered except one rather experienced, scarred looking fellow, who just exchanged glances with Ray and the ocean beside him.
"All sixteen of you have a lot to learn about Survivor, and I'd rather not explain it all now. Instead, I will explain it to you as it unfolds. But I will begin with a simple algorithm for you to follow," Ray explained to the sixteen soon-to-be-players in front of him with a sheer look of confusion glued to the front of their skull. "You will all enter the gazebo beside you-" he then pointed to a gazebo further down the beach, "And cast your votes for the one, out of the other fifteen people, that you think should be team captain."
"But- wait. Ray?" the man soon known to be named Ken asked his host, "We don't even know them yet!"
"That's the fun of it!" Ray cheerfully answered, "You must attempt to judge them!" Ray stared at his clipboard to see who would be up first. "Samuel, you are up first!"
Samuel strode up to the gazebo, and cast his vote. Little by little, the other fifteen people did just the same. Ray strode over to grab the ballot after they all finished.
"Okay, the two team captains are right here…" He showed the castaways the blank side of the ballot which contained the scores on it. "The team captain for Ogono is… Scott!"
The man named Scott jogged up onto the OGONO mat, and smirked. "And the team captain for Vierga is… Tom!"
Everybody looked around to find Tom, then realized who they voted for. The scarred, gruff man who didn't clap for the introduction limped over to his mat.
"Because Scott got the most votes, he will pick first." Ray announced openly.
"Hmm.. Let's see.." Scott stared over the crowd of people waiting to be picked. "I have decided to pick… Kelly."
Kelly, a middle-aged woman with curly, brown hair scampered over to the mat.
"Tom, make your pick."
It took Tom less then a second to point to the jagged fellow with a shirt cut in half made to look like a jacket. It turned out his name was Ripley.
"Now, this may seem like a regular school-yard pick.." Ray began, "but it has a twist. The next member of your tribe will be chosen by the member the team captain picked, instead of just the team captain. So, Kelly, you will pick first."
"I pick…" Kelly stared at a tall, muscular man with shaggy, black hair. "Victor!"
Victor charged up to the mat.
"Ugh… Maria?"
Maria, a short woman with short, curly, brunette hair staggered over. Then, the rest of the tribemates started to fall in.
"Lucas."
"Jack."
"Marvin."
"Patrick."
"Brett."
"Megan."
"Samuel."
"Ken."
"Lisa."
"Cassie."
As the final two members strode off to their mat, Ray reclaimed the attention of the castaways. "You arrived on a boat. Or, more accurately, on the deck of a boat. You still haven't seen the storage area yet."
This made a few of the tribemates confused.
"Each tribe will race to the storage area of the ship you arrived on for supplies. You will be able to take any supplies you retrieve back to your campsite. Speaking of which…"
Ray handed a map to Tom and Scott.
"These are maps of Graham Island. The black dot is your campsite."
Ray pointed to a black dot on both maps.
"Okay, survivors. Ready…"
The survivors started to get into a position…
"Set.."
Victor was going to dash off anyways if he had to wait one more second, he was very athletic yet anxious.
"GO!"
Each tribe dashed onto the ship, with Victor in the lead. They jumped down into the bottom area and started the search for supplies. Victor grabbed four items, then grabbed onto the ledge and pulled himself up. He dashed to his tribe's mat and dropped the supplies there.
"And Victor first for Ogono with four items!" Ray exclaimed.
Shortly behind Victor was tall, skinny Ken carrying two items, who was surprisingly much weaker then Victor, yet much faster.
"And Ken for Vierga with two items!"
One after one, each tribe grabbed their items, and started the long stride to their campsite.
DAY 1
OGONO
GRAHAM FOREST
"You sure you got this navigating down, Scott?" Lucas asked his team leader. "If not, feel free to ask for he-"
"Nah, I'm fine, little dude." Scott reassured Lucas.
Lucas: "Yeah, really not so sure Scott's the best team captain of the day. Not very nice to comment on somebody's height when they were just trying to help, am I right?"
(Author's Note: When a text is written like this, it is confessional speech, like what a character is thinking.)
As the tribe continued their length-ish journey, Brett slid over a bit closer to Samuel, who was taking his time to inspect that each and every item retrieved from the ship was on the way to their campsite.
"So.. Samuel, is it?" Brett asked.
"Yup. Well, my friends call me Sam." Samuel replied.
"Hmm.." Brett took a minute to think of how he should put his request, then decided. "If we lose our first Immunity… I mean, well-"
Samuel was now zoning off from Brett. "Huh?" he looked confused as he stared back at Brett.
"Nobody wants to be voted off first… so… maybe?"
Samuel just tilted his head in confusion at this remark.
Samuel: "What is Brett trying to say? Whatever it is, why can't he just get it out already?"
"Okay, it's simple.." Brett finally got to his conclusion. "I want to start an all-"
"Hey, everyone!" Scott interrupted Brett. "We're almost there!"
"Ugh… Talk to you later, Samuel." Brett grouched at his tribemate.
Brett: "DAMN IT! What was I thinking? Why couldn't I just say four words: I-WANT-AN-ALLIANCE?"
Soon enough, the camp came into view.
Everybody exclaimed into joy. The almost-an hour and a half walk to the area… was ALMOST worth it. Maybe a fully built campsite would be worth it.
"Hang on… I thought we would get our camp already built for us!" Scott exclaimed.
"Erm.. no. That's… really not how it works out here." Victor assured Scott.
Victor: "Someone REALLY doesn't know the rules of the wild. Do I blame him? No. None of us have really been out here. Not even on the other tribe, probably. Except that Tom character, I don't know where he's been."
Everybody began to settle in, before Lucas confronted Victor.
"So, hey dude.." Lucas attempted to play cool, but was caught by Victor.
"You know, just because I did well getting the tribe supplies doesn't mean you have to act all cool around me, or anybody." Victor calmly tipped Lucas. "Personally, I like people who are themselves more than people who aren't. So, just chill. What do you want to tell me?"
Lucas took a deep breath before blurting out, and at a very swift speed, "I-want-to-work-with-you."
"Huh?"
"Um.. I said.." Lucas felt embarrassed Victor didn't hear him. "I want to work with you."
This time, Victor heard Lucas loud and clear. He thought for a bit, then started nodding. "I'm up for that, with one condition."
Lucas looked at Victor, suspecting a "give me any idols you find" or a "never vote for me". But, that didn't happen. Instead…
"I want you to act normal around me."
Lucas nodded at this remark, then left the area.
DAY 1
VIERGA
CAMPSITE
Seven of the tribe members gasped at the beautiful view from the shoreline. Seven… you can already guess which one didn't.
Tom just shook his head and entered the forest to grab some logs.
"Hey, what do you think's up with that guy? We're kind of off to a risky start because of him." Ken asked Jack.
"Maybe some trauma or something. I don't know, but I think we should keep out of his privacy."
Jack: "I thought it was a bit disturbing that Ken had to question Tom's lifestyle, or maybe even his gameplan. He should keep his long nose out of Tom's business, and, if we lose, and I need someone to vote for… First vote: Ken."
Megan stared at the ocean, before yelling; "I can't take it anymore!" and diving in. However, she splashed Ripley, who, unfortunately, forgot to buy a real jacket, because the shirt he was wearing, was not waterproof.
"What was that for?" Ripley scolded Megan.
"Sorry, it was just an accident!" Megan replied.
"Accident? Lady, you should be more careful! You almost ruined my jacket!"
"Maybe you should actually go and help the people building."
"That's it, I'm done with you!"
Suddenly, Ripley charged at Megan, attempting to tackle her, when Cassie leaped forward and elbowed him straight in the nose. Ripley screamed in pain, and fell to the floor.
"Hitting girls, or attempting to, is very rude, you freak!" Cassie screeched at Ripley. "Do you understand?"
"Shut up."
These two words gave Ripley a one way ticket to "Kick-in-the-ribs-town." He screamed again and Cassie repeated the question.
"Do you understand?"
Ripley lifted himself up, who was now covered in sand.
"Whatever."
He now strode away, rather quickly, from the two girls.
"Hey.. thanks?" Megan remarked to Cassie.
"No problem. Anything for a fellow girl." was the reply.
NIGHT 1
OGONO
"Is this thing, like, concrete or something?"
"Oh, I don't know, maybe it could have been more suitable for you if you HELPED!"
Lisa: "Let's say Tribal Council was right now. I would scream at every member of this tribe to make sure Ray says "First person voted out… Scott." Trust me, it will happen."
"Hey, it's not my fault this wasn't pre-built for us!" Scott shot back at Lisa.
"Welcome to the wild life, sandbag."
Victor: "OH. MY. GOD. Can't you do this in the morning when everybody's NOT trying to sleep?"
This was enough for him. Victor left the shelter, and got onto the sand. He slept IN THE SAND that night because of the commotion between Scott and Lisa. However, one person had goals other then sleeping.
At about two in the morning, Brett made sure everybody was sleeping, then got up. He snuck out of the shelter, and began his search for the Hidden Immunity Idol. Luckily, he read a short article about it, but he didn't know much about anything else.
Brett: "I need to find this idol.. Or it could be a game over for all of us."
Brett started the hunt under trees, through holes, and even in the sand (away from Victor).
But he was not successful in finding the idol.
DAY 2
OGONO
Morning hit, and Brett was already asleep when the tribe woke up. However, while he was sleeping, he had a dream in which he was pointing to the ground, moving his finger. Then, he felt something weird. He yanked it out. When he woke up, he was holding a small package. He opened it, and sure enough…
CONGRATULATIONS, YOU HAVE found the hidden immunity idol!
This will neglect any votes against you in any tribal council you choose up to the first council, to the tribal when only five players are left in the game.
You can play this idol on yourself, or anyone else of your choice.
He did it! Brett found the idol!
DAY 2
VIERGA
Vierga was a very peaceful tribe. Nobody really got in another's way; well, except Megan, Cassie, and Ripley.
However, they didn't have one thing; Victor.
They had to stay up all night preparing the shelter. The most helpful people were, in no particular order, Megan, Tom, and Cassie. Tom, still not talking to anybody, was completely focused. By six in the morning, they finally finished their makeshift-shelter. Everybody went to sleep then, except Tom, who went to go prepare some food. Ken realized this was the perfect time to speak with him.
"So, hey Tom.."
Tom just ignored Ken.
"Why, uh.."
He was ignored again.
"What's up?"
Still ignored…
"Are you- uh.."
STILL ignored..
"Are you depressed?"
"JUST LEAVE ME ALONE!"
Every member of the tribe heard Tom bark at Ken. Ken's eyes flashed wide, then he ran off.
Tom: "Why does nobody here just let me live my life? I've done so much for them so far!"
The rest of the day was rather quiet, until a message arrived in both teams' tree mail. It read;
Are you the huge, gruff dog?
Or are you just the pup?
We'll have to see by who's better,
At simply pushing-up.
Victor: "*sigh* Ogono automatically wins immunity! Gah, feel so bad for the other team."
But was Victor right?
DAY 3
IMMUNITY CHALLENGE
"Come on in, guys!" Ray called out.
The sixteen people arrived at their tribe's mat.
"Welcome to your first challenge! I should probably reveal what you're playing for, first! You are playing for.. This!
Ray pointed to a wooden tiki statue about two feet tall and half a foot wide.
"With this at your camp, nobody can be voted out. Another thing you are playing for.."
Ray lugged a big bag of rice over his shoulder.
"This should be enough to maintain your tribes healthy until the merge. And, fire in the form of flint. Worth playing for?"
Fifteen castaways nodded. Guess who didn't? Mr. LEAVE ME ALONE!
"Alright, for this challenge, one person from each tribe will go head-to-head in a push-up competition. The last one to drop gets their tribe a point. First tribe to three points wins Immunity, and the rewards I just mentioned. Alright, who's going first for Ogono?"
The choice was rather obvious. Victor stepped forward.
"And.. for Vierga?"
Without any other of the tribemates' consent, Tom stepped forward to face off against Victor.
"Now, enter your READY position.."
The two competitors entered their positions.
"Get SET.."
"GO!"
The two castaways began their exercise. None of them were really budging, until ten minutes in, when Tom dropped.
"Tom drops, that's one point for Ogono!" Ray declared.
Victor strode back to his mat triumphantly, while Tom merely slumped.
"Next up- who's for Ogono?"
Brett nobly stepped forward.
"Vierga?"
Jack left the mat to face off against Brett.
"Ready.. Set.. go!"
They started off rather well, but after about six minutes Brett dropped.
"Brett drops, that's one point for Vierga! Now, pick your next competitor!"
Ogono selected Samuel, while Vierga, mostly Megan, selected Cassie.
"Ready, set.. Go!"
In the first thirty SECONDS, Samuel dropped out of the competition.
"Samuel drops, that's two points for Vierga! Now, because if Vierga gets the point they win, both teams can choose whoever they want for the next round, even if they had already gone."
The final match was soon selected to be Victor VS Cassie.
"Ready.."
They stretched their arms.
"Set.."
They entered their positions.
"GO!"
The competition went on for a long time, with many illusions.
When you thought Victor would drop, Cassie would wobble, when you thought Cassie would drop, Victor would wobble, what was the answer?
Suddenly, Victor collapsed.
"VIERGA WINS IMMUNITY AND REWARD!" Ray announced loudly.
Seven members of the victorious tribe cheered, while Tom just nodded. Ray soon handed over the tiki statue to Cassie.
"One person will be going home tonight, they will not be from the Vierga tribe. As for Ogono, I will see you tonight at Tribal Council."
That was all.
DAY 3
OGONO
"Look," Lisa explained to Brett, "We should get rid of Scott for not helping. He's really splitting the confidence around here."
"I'm down with that." he replied, "but we need five votes to guarantee him going."
"I'll try to get Kelly. You see about getting Victor and Lucas."
"Pst… hey, Lucas!" Brett contacted Lucas while nobody was looking.
"Hi, Brett. What do you need?"
"You know how Scott wasn't helping build the camp?"
"Yeah?"
"We're voting him out tonight."
Lucas' eyes flickered at this idea.
"I'm with it, Lisa's with it, the question is, are you?"
"Yes." Lucas assured Brett.
"Good. Hey, can you get Victor on board, too? I'm going to see about Marvin, just so we get six votes in case somebody flips.
"Pst… Marvin!" Brett whispered to Marvin.
"Yes?"
"We're voting out Scott tonight, and we need your help."
"Excuse me?"
Brett stopped, wondering if he had offended Marvin. Marvin shook his head.
"No. Me and Scott are the only true men out here. Now, shoo!"
"Uh- technically I'm a man too-"
Suddenly, Marvin slapped Brett square in the face.
"Does that change your mind?"
Brett: "Marvin just freaking slapped me! What the hell, man?"
DAY 3
TRIBAL COUNCIL
The members of Ogono slowly entered the dusty, dark hideout of the council of judgement; themselves.
"Hello, Ogono. Welcome to Tribal Council. Here, you will enter the voting booth and cast your vote for who you want to be eliminated. The person with the most votes at the end is eliminated. I don't think we should really waste any time. Kelly, you will go first."
Kelly cast her vote.
Samuel cast his vote.
Brett cast his vote.
Lisa cast her vote.
Lisa: "My vote goes to Scott for being arguably the laziest team captain of the century."
Scott cast his vote.
Lucas cast his vote.
Marvin cast his vote.
Victor cast his vote.
"I will go tally the votes. If anybody has a hidden immunity idol and you would like to play it, now would be the time to do so."
Brett did not react.
"Okay, once the votes are read, the decision is final, the person voted out will be asked to leave the Tribal Council immediately. I will read the votes.
"First vote…"
Scott
"Second vote…"
Marvin
"Third vote…"
Marvin
"Fourth vote.."
Marvin
"Fifth vote.."
Victor
"Sixth vote.."
Marvin
"Seventh vote…"
Brett
"I will repeat; that is one vote Scott, four votes Marvin, one vote Victor, and one vote Brett. One vote remains."
"First person voted out of Survivor: Graham Islands."
Marvin
Marvin then stared at Brett, knowing he was the cause of this.
"Why- you little.."
"Marvin, I need you to come up here with me." Ray told him. Marvin picked up his torch and strode over to Ray.
"Marvin, the tribe has spoken."
And with that, he extinguished Marvin's torch, and sent him home.
"Is that how this tribe will work in the future? Well, all I can say is… It WILL be difficult."
The seven remaining members of Ogono traveled the long distance back to camp.
"Oh… Dear Confidence."
Who voted for whom:
Scott - VICTOR
Kelly - MARVIN
Victor - MARVIN
Lisa - SCOTT
Lucas - MARVIN
Marvin - BRETT
Brett - MARVIN
Samuel - MARVIN
Final Words:
Marvin: "Maybe I shouldn't have been so harsh on Brett after all, but I had a lot of fun the first three days I was here, and it is an opportunity I will never forget. Erm… Survivor rocks! And go Scott and Brett! I'm so sorry for what I did!
Did you like the episode? I would love to hear your feedback. Please review down below. The next episode will be coming out sooner depending on how much you liked this one.
Next time on Survivor…
The rebellion to be rid of Scott continues, but with some difficulties.
"Why did you betray me?" she yelled at her old partner.
And Tom interacts with his tribe once more.
"RELYING ON PEOPLE EQUALS FAILURE!" he screeched so the entire camp could hear him.
But desperate measures are taken to reclaim trust.
"Lisa, I have an idol."
