Episode 2
Lowly Loly
Previously on… Survivor…
Two tribes started the adventure of a lifetime, joined by two returning players:
"These are two players from past seasons who are out here for a second chance at this game," Jet explains. "Temari finished 11th in Survivor: Feudal Japan."
"And Haruhi, after finishing 4th in Survivor: Seireitei Forest, you'll be joining the Chang tribe, wearing the pink buffs."
In the first immunity challenge, the Chang tribe won easily:
"Yao trying their best, but it's not gonna matter!"
Olivier makes one last shove to the final block, and the Chang puzzle is complete.
"That's it! Chang wins immunity!"
At Tribal Council, a new twist to the game was introduced, the Incubator:
"The Incubator will grant you a wish if you give him what he wants," Jet explains. "The wish he will grant will be to cast any other player on your tribe out of this game."
However, when Mamimi went to make a wish to the Incubator, she did not have what it wanted:
"What do you have to offer me?" Kyubey asks.
Mamimi checks her pockets. "I have a cigarette?"
"Sorry, but that will not do," Kyubey states.
So Mamimi became the first person voted out of the game. 17 are left. Who will be voted out tonight?
Day 4
Yao Tribe
(Anri, Asakura, Ayeka, Honoka, Kikyo, Ritsuko, Temari, Tessa)
The tribe looks depressed after their first trip to Tribal Council, but after a night's sleep, no one says much about it. Temari, however, is concerned about the Incubator.
"This Incubator could completely change the game," she says. "For example, we had all eight votes up against Mamimi. Yet if she had the item the Incubator wanted, she could have given it to him and wished for one of us instead to go home. It's like the hidden immunity plushie, only there's no way to flush it out or split votes to circumvent it."
She goes over to her trusted alliance members Ritsuko and Tessa to talk about the scenario. She is pleased to find that both girls – a scientist and a submarine captain – are thinking ten steps ahead.
"The first thing I thought was what the item could be that the Incubator wants," Tessa says. "I first thought, maybe it's the immunity plushie, but that makes little sense, because Jet asks to play it beforehand. And then I wondered if it was perhaps the Medallion of Power, but that's a tribe item. So I narrowed it down to it having to be an item that is similar to the hidden plushie, but harder to find."
"Very good observations, Tessa," Ritsuko states. "I would like to add that this item may not even be in our camp, or the opposing tribe's camp, but in a neutral area, such as the one where we looked for the Medallion of Power."
"I see," Temari says. "I do remember that Mamimi was distracted during the challenge, as if she saw something and was going to pick it up, but I figured that was just her normally bizarre behavior."
"Maybe that's it!" Tessa exclaims. "Maybe the item is hidden at challenges, and a player must dig it up in the middle of a challenge in order to get it. That makes it a real risk to find it, but a real reward."
"Great thinking," Temari adds. "The most important thing is that we do not let the other tribe know about this. That way, during the next challenge, we send one person on purpose to look for the item to bring it back to us."
"There are several drawbacks to that, however," Ritsuko states. "The other tribe has the Medallion of Power, and if they were to use it, we'd be in real danger of losing again. Using one person for the sole purpose of trying to find that item would really put as at a huge disadvantage."
"We couldn't send one of our non-alliance members to get it, because then they could use it themselves against us," Temari says. "This is tough."
"We really need to think about how to approach this, and perhaps get a little lucky," Tessa adds.
"I'm definitely aligned with the right people," Temari says. "These girls are brilliant. The only danger is that they might overthink me at some point. I've got to be careful around them."
"We're in a real dilemma with this whole Incubator thing," Ritsuko says. "The Incubator could be our best friend, or our worst enemy. Our goal is to get it on our side."
"There are so many scenarios and sub-strategies to everything in this game that it's nearly impossible to predict," Tessa says. "That's why I hope Asakura can help us, as she can analyze data like no human can."
Chang Tribe
(Faye, Haruhi, Kaname, Kei, Loly, May, Olivier, Suzuka, Yukino)
The SMOKY alliance eats their rice together happily, talking to each other about their own lives.
"You're a track star, aren't you, Suzuka?" Kaname asks.
"Yes, I am," Suzuka replies. "As I've told Yukino, my goal is to win a gold medal in high jumping."
"And you proved how athletic you are in that first challenge," Yukino adds.
"But no one is as strong as Olivier!" May exclaims.
They all laugh, as Olivier smiles. "It runs in the family," she says. "But I could beat him in any physical or mental competition any day!"
"Alex failed miserably in his first try at Survivor," Olivier says. "I am trying to redeem the family name, after he was the fourth person voted out in his season."
Loly, meanwhile, tries to poison a couple of the players against Haruhi.
"Haruhi is going to be our downfall," she tells Kei. "We've got to get her out as soon as possible."
"Fine with me," Kei replies. "Just make sure everyone else is on board with it."
"What about you, Faye?" Loly asks, as Faye smokes a cigarette. "You want Haruhi out?"
"Haruhi, you – whoever," Faye responds.
"Me? Why would you want me out?"
"To shut you up, that's what."
"Maybe I'll just write your name down instead!"
"Go ahead, see if I care."
Kei tries to stop the bickering. "All right, all right. Let's settle this in a more womanly fashion."
But Loly walks away in a huff.
"Faye wants to vote out me, huh?" Loly says. "That could get her out before Haruhi!"
"Loly's not exactly the type of person who's going to be tamed easily," Kei says. "She's incredibly volatile. Anything you say or do could make her blow up at any second."
Yao Tribe
(Anri, Asakura, Ayeka, Honoka, Kikyo, Ritsuko, Temari, Tessa)
While Kikyo makes some rice for Anri and Honoka, who sit quietly around the fire, Temari has wandered off in the desert, looking frantically.
"If this item we're looking for is on our own territory, then I must be the one to find it," Temari says.
Temari searches through all sorts of clumps of sand, coming up with nothing.
"No one can understand how bad I want this thing," Temari says. "If I'm going to win, I'm going to need to do everything I can to stack the deck in my favor."
While she continues to search, Kikyo tries talking to Anri and Honoka.
"Has anyone made a deal with you?" she asks.
Anri and Honoka both shake their heads "no."
"Then I have a proposition," Kikyo says. "You vote with me, and I'll keep you safe."
Anri gives little reaction, while Honoka nods her head slowly.
"I haven't decided who I want to vote for yet, but I'll tell you when the time comes."
The girls both nod, not knowing what to say.
"I need to get more people on my side if I want to build some sort of an alliance," Kikyo says. "Obviously I'm not exactly all that popular, at least not at the moment. I think these two girls can be easily controlled, like two of Naraku's puppets, and I'm going to use them for my advantage."
"I'm willing to vote with anyone," Honoka says. "I just want to get along with everyone, and only vote someone out if everyone else agrees to do so."
Meanwhile, Temari keeps on digging through the sand, but continues to find nothing.
"So frustrating!" she says. "I really want to find this item badly!"
And as she does, Tessa brings over Asakura to herself and Ritsuko.
"Miss Asakura, I have a request for you," Tessa asks.
"I am open to taking any sort of requests," Asakura replies.
"Very well then. Can you tell me the probabilities related to the item the host Jet Black spoke of that is needed to make a wish to the Incubator?"
"Calculating…" Asakura says. "The chances of such an item being an immunity plushie are 24.68%. The chances of such an item being the Medallion of Power are 23.72%. The chances of such an item being of classified nature are 26.17%. The chances…"
"Asakura, could you tell us the probability of that item being somewhere in our camp?" Ritsuko asks.
"Calculating…" Asakura says. "The chances of such an item being hidden near the camp are 17.52%. The chances of such an item being hidden in the territory of our camp, but not in the proximity of the living space, are 24.58%. The chances of such an item being hidden in a neutral area, such as an immunity challenge area, are 33.91%. The chances…"
"What is the possibility of successfully navigating an asteroid field?" a skeptical Ayeka says, as she walks by, hearing Asakura.
"The odds against successfully navigating an asteroid field are approximately 3,720 to 1," Asakura replies, nonchalantly.
"Never tell me the odds!" Ayeka yells back, then leaves laughing like a hyena.
"Ryoko is just like that other Ryoko, a loose nut," Ayeka says. "She's such a joke. I can't stand anyone with that name Ryoko – I want her out immediately!"
Asakura looks very confused. "Did I say something that a human would find to be humorous?" she asks.
"Don't worry about her," Ritsuko says. "From your analysis, I think that there is a good possibility of the item being something we've never seen in an immunity challenge area."
"Then we must look during the challenge," Tessa states.
"Pardon me," Asakura says, "but would that not harm the possibility of us winning the challenge?"
"It would," Ritsuko says. "That is why we must be very careful in doing so."
"I see," Asakura responds.
"Human behavior is very strange," Asakura says. "I can only act analytically in order to help my tribe."
Meanwhile, Temari continues digging, desperately trying to find something in the sand.
"I've got to find this…" Temari says. "I just have to find it…"
Chang Tribe
(Faye, Haruhi, Kaname, Kei, Loly, May, Olivier, Suzuka, Yukino)
The SMOKY alliance continues to have a good time.
"You know, we're all just getting along, enjoying ourselves, having a great time out here," Kaname says. "Olivier cooks our rice and boils our water for us. May is a bundle of joy and excitement. Yukino exudes confidence, while Suzuka keeps our heads on straight. This alliance is perfect, and I really believe we're going to go a long way."
The five of them eat their rice, laughing about, while Loly looks on angrily.
"Why do they get to have a good time?" Loly says. "Why am I not the center of attention? This is totally wrong. I've always been looked down upon as 'lowly Loly.' And it continues to this game."
Day 5
Chang Tribe
(Faye, Haruhi, Kaname, Kei, Loly, May, Olivier, Suzuka, Yukino)
The next morning, Haruhi points out that Loly's mask looks silly.
"Look at that stupid mask!" Haruhi shouts, with Loly looking on angrily. "Why wear a mask on only half of your face?"
Loly begins to boil, while Haruhi continues. "You say you're into poison, but the only thing I find poisonous is the look of your face!"
Loly suddenly runs toward Haruhi and grabs her by the neck. "You shut up!" she screams. "You're nothing but a little pest!"
"Hey, hey, calm down here," Kei says, trying to break up the two.
Kaname and Suzuka also get involved, separating the two arguing girls, who glare at each other.
"Look, Haruhi, I don't know how you did so well the first time you played, when you're nothing but caustic!" Loly yells.
"You refuse to accept my leadership!" Haruhi replies.
"Enough of this about this leadership crap!" Loly shouts. "We have no leader! It's every girl for herself!"
The others are able to calm down Haruhi and Loly enough to get them to stop fighting.
"Sadly enough, Haruhi managed to make Loly into a sympathetic figure," Kei says. "Right now, it's getting incredibly bad around here with the two of them. We can't even think about the game itself since they're arguing so often."
"Haruhi treats me like crap, and I'm not gonna take it," Loly says. "I'm going to make her pay for it."
"Loly hasn't let me be the leader, and as a result, I'm mad at her," Haruhi says. "I want to be in charge, that's the way it always is!"
Yao Tribe
(Anri, Asakura, Ayeka, Honoka, Kikyo, Ritsuko, Temari, Tessa)
"I've got it!" Temari exclaims.
She dances over to Ritsuko and Tessa, holding out the modsoul Ririn.
"Is that… what we've been looking for?" Tessa asks.
"I'm not sure," Temari says. "But even if it's just an immunity plushie, it's something."
"Keep it down," Ritsuko warns. "You don't want anyone else to see that."
"Actually, I do," Temari replies. "I want the rest of our alliance to know. Our core six will go into the merge together, and I'll give one of the others the plushie if they need it."
"I'm trying to carry this alliance to the end, and the best way to do that is to get the others to trust me," Temari says. "They'll trust me if they know I'm willing to let them use the plushie. But… I won't give this thing up that easily."
So later on, Temari brings over Asakura, Anri and Honoka to Ritsuko and Tessa.
"Here's this," she says to them, showing them the plushie. "When we reach the merge, I'll let any of you have this if necessary."
Honoka smiles, while Anri looks a bit nervous. Asakura is inquisitive.
"Would not the odds of your winning decrease by approximately 26.24% if you were to give up the immunity plushie?" Asakura wonders.
Temari chuckles. "What did Ayeka say? Never tell me the odds."
"I do not understand why Temari would give up something that increases her odds of winning," Asakura says. "My assumption would be that she is lying to us, but I cannot be 100% certain on that."
"I am trying a new tack this game," Temari says. "This time, instead of bouncing from alliance to alliance, I want to build the alliance myself. I was given no favors last time, I was given no favors this time – but I won't use anything as an excuse."
Chang Tribe
(Faye, Haruhi, Kaname, Kei, Loly, May, Olivier, Suzuka, Yukino)
Haruhi thinks over her behavior from earlier in the day and feels bad, so she goes over to Loly to apologize.
"Loly, I'm sorry for what I said," she tells her. "Your mask is not ugly – I shouldn't judge that way."
"Too late for apologies!" Loly shouts back. "You've crossed me, and now you're gonna pay!"
"Well, in that case, you're under a penalty again!"
"Penalty? Look, I don't know who you are, or where you came from – but I'm going to make you pay!"
"Haruhi thinks she can just apologize and make up for everything," Loly says. "Sorry, that's not gonna work with me. I'm going to vote her butt out of this game as soon as possible!"
Kaname, meanwhile, talks to her alliance about this development.
"If we're going to take out someone first, it has to be Loly or Haruhi, doesn't it?" she says.
"Absolutely," Olivier replies.
"But which one?" Yukino says. "We saw that Loly found that plushie early on. Then Haruhi found one. They could both play them and neither goes home."
"We have to try to convince both of them that they're safe, then blindside them," Suzuka states.
"Blindside them?" May wonders.
"That's how this game works," Suzuka says. "You aren't a little devious, you can't win."
"May might be a little too pure for this game," Suzuka says. "She doesn't want to lie, and that may end up hurting her in the end."
"I don't want to tell lies to Loly or Haruhi," May says. "I don't think lying is the best way to go about playing this game."
Yao Tribe
(Anri, Asakura, Ayeka, Honoka, Kikyo, Ritsuko, Temari, Tessa)
Kikyo cooks for her tribe, while Ayeka chats with Anri and Honoka.
"You know, I'm a princess," Ayeka brags. "The crown princess of Jurai, in fact. I have royal blood."
Honoka looks on with a smile. "That's very sweet," she says.
Anri says nothing, simply adjusting her glasses.
"And I'm going to make sure I win this game, just to show up that stupid Ryoko!" Ayeka laughs.
"I'm so confident I'm going to win, I just know it!" Ayeka says. "Everyone listens to a princess. So this tribe is going to follow my lead and keep me around even longer!"
Day 6
Yao Tribe
(Anri, Asakura, Ayeka, Honoka, Kikyo, Ritsuko, Temari, Tessa)
Anri retrieves the mail for the tribe.
"There's a poem attached," she tells them.
"Toss the sand from pail to pail
And try desperately not to fail
If you lift up your flag first
You'll make the other tribe burst."
"Wow, is that a terrible poem," Ritsuko comments.
Temari huddles her entire tribe together as they eat Kikyo's rice that morning.
"This is a big day today… immunity challenge day," Temari tells them. "We don't want to fall further behind in numbers – we need a win today!"
"Then let's win!" Ayeka responds.
The whole tribe puts their hands together in a circle.
"1, 2, 3… Yao!"
Immunity Challenge
"Come on in, guys!"
The two tribes walk into the immunity challenge area, seeing nothing but a bunch of buckets.
"Chang tribe, getting your first look at the new Yao tribe, Mamimi voted out first Tribal Council."
No one makes much of a response to Mamimi's ousting.
"You guys ready to get to today's immunity challenge?"
"Yeah!"
"First things first, I will take it back."
Kaname tosses Kon back to Jet.
"Thank you. Once again, immunity is back up for grabs. For today's challenge, you will all line up five feet away from each other in a single file line. The first player on the end of the line will scoop up sand with their bucket and toss it to the person next to them, into their bucket. That person will then toss the sand to the next person's bucket. At the end of the line, the final person will dump the sand into the big bucket. Once the big bucket gets enough sand, it will release your tribe's flag. First tribe to release their flag wins immunity. Losers, Tribal Council, where someone will be the second person voted out of this game. In addition, you are playing for reward. Wanna know what you're playing for?"
"Bring it on," Olivier says.
Jet unveils a bunch of blankets and pillows, getting everyone excited.
"This will make it a lot more comfortable than having to sleep in the sand. Worth playing for?"
Everyone cheers in excitement.
"Chang tribe, you have one extra player, you've got to sit someone out, who's it gonna be?"
Before the tribe can even discuss it, Haruhi speaks up.
"I'm sitting this one out, Jet!" she shouts.
"Very well then, Haruhi's sitting out," Jet says. "Now you have the option to use the Medallion of Power. If you use the Medallion of Power, you will have ½ pound of sand added to your final bucket to begin with, giving you a head start on getting your flag to be raised. Do you wish to use it or not?"
Again, the tribe has no chance to talk about it when Haruhi shouts their answer.
"We're using it!"
Jet looks at Haruhi strangely. "Haruhi, you're not even competing in the challenge, yet you're making the decisions?"
"Right on par for the course for her," Loly replies.
"Is that okay with the rest of the tribe?" Jet asks.
Kaname shrugs her shoulders, looking at her tribemates. "Sure," she says.
"Very well then," Jet says. "Hand over the Medallion of Power to me."
Olivier hands over the Medallion of Power to Jet.
"This will go over to the Yao tribe after the challenge. In the meantime, I'll add ½ pound of sand to your final bucket. While I do, I'll give you a moment to strategize, and then we'll get started."
Jet pours the ½ pound of sand into the final bucket for the Chang tribe, while the two tribes line up in their positions.
"For immunity! Survivors ready? Go!"
At the beginning of the line, Olivier scoops up a bunch of sand for the Chang tribe, while Ayeka scoops it up for the Yao tribe. Olivier passes to May, who passes to Kaname, who passes to Yukino, who passes to Suzuka, who passes to Kei, who passes to Loly, who passes to Faye. Ayeka passes to Tessa, who passes to Ritsuko, who passes to Honoka, who passes to Anri, who passes to Asakura, who passes to Kikyo, who passes to Temari. At the end of the line, Faye and Temari dump what's left of the sand into their buckets, which is not very much.
"Very hard to keep the sand from bucket to bucket!"
As soon as she passes to May, Olivier goes for her next scoop, so that the process of tossing sand is continuous. The same goes for Ayeka, passing to Tessa. Both tribes try to go at a quick pace, in order not to fall behind.
"Who can get that flag to lift first?"
While scooping up some sand, Ayeka notices something red glimmering in the sand nearby. She wonders what it is, but decides not to scoop it up. Olivier also notices it, but ignores it as she continues to pass the sand.
"Both tribes trying their hardest not to fall behind!"
The Chang tribe proves to be more efficient than the Yao tribe, and the lead they had at the beginning just grows larger. With Anri and Honoka struggling with the sand for Yao, it is clear that they are not going to catch up, and victory is inevitable for Chang. A few minutes later, Faye dumps in the last bit of sand necessary to tip the scales and raise the flag.
"That's it! Chang wins immunity!"
The Chang tribe begins to celebrate, some of them pouring sand on each other in joy. The Yao tribe looks on frustratedly, not knowing what to do.
"Congratulations, Chang, this is for you."
Jet tosses Kon to Olivier, who pulls him to her chest.
Oh, Olivier! Kon thinks.
"In addition, you have won reward, grab your stuff and head back to camp."
The Chang tribe whoops it up as they grab their blankets and pillows and walk back to camp with them.
"As for you, Yao, I got nothing for you except a date with me at Tribal Council tonight. Oh, I guess I do have something for you – the Medallion of Power. Here you go."
Tessa takes the Medallion of Power off Jet, and the Yao tribe sadly heads out of camp.
"It's clear to me that my alliance must stay in control of the tribe, and that means taking out either Ayeka or Kikyo," Temari says. "But which one?"
Yao Tribe
(Anri, Asakura, Ayeka, Honoka, Kikyo, Ritsuko, Temari, Tessa)
When the tribe returns to camp, Kikyo immediately starts cooking their rice. This pleases Honoka and Anri, who eat the rice happily, then plead to Temari not to vote out Kikyo.
"Kikyo cooks for us, she does so much," Honoka tells Temari. "She ought to stay around longer."
"There is no reason to vote out Kikyo," Anri adds.
"Okay," Temari replies. "Ayeka it is."
"If my alliance insists on keeping Kikyo over Ayeka, I'm fine with it," Temari says. "I'm not going to argue with them."
But in the meantime, Ayeka is going around, trying to rouse up trouble.
"Temari has been the defacto leader of this tribe," she announces in front of Ritsuko, Tessa, Kikyo and Asakura. "Yet all we've done is lose! She ought to go immediately!"
"I agree," Kikyo says. "Temari has not led our tribe to victory yet. I believe she is the one who ought to pay."
"Excuse me," Asakura says, "but I do not recall a time when Temari was given the official role of leader."
"It's been assumed, ever since she got a second chance to play!" Ayeka yells. "She should not have come back!"
"I don't think Temari ought to stick around any longer, and I intend on making my point tonight at Tribal Council," Ayeka says.
Tribal Council
(Yao)
The eight remaining Yao tribe members waltz into the Tribal Council area, carrying their torches. They set them down in their respective places, then take their seats across from Jet Black.
"Two challenges, two losses, and they weren't really close," Jet says. "Temari, you've been brought back with the idea that you would bring some leadership to this tribe."
"I think it's unfair to label me that way, Jet," Temari replies. "I was no challenge monster in my first season, in fact I never reached the individual challenge portion of the game. My tribes won half their challenges. I don't think it's right to blame me for the losses."
"The more they pile up, though, the more your numbers go down."
"I am concerned about numbers," Temari states. "I want to have at least six strong headed into a potential merge. Obviously if we keep losing, that's not going to happen."
"Does anyone here blame Temari for losing?"
"I do!" Ayeka exclaims.
"Oh, so you think so? Why so?"
"She's had her chance to play, and she blew it once. Now if she's coming back, she better be good – and she's not."
"Excuse me," Temari breaks in, "but what did I exactly do in the first two challenges that was any worse than anybody else? The only one who underperformed at all was Mamimi, and she's gone now."
"I think you should be held to a higher standard, that's all," Ayeka says.
"I don't think there's any standard I ought to be held up to," Temari states.
"On another note," Jet states, "we have the Incubator waiting here to grant someone a wish."
Kyubey climbs up onto Jet's shoulder.
"But he will only grant a wish if you have the right item to offer him. Have any of you considered what that item might be?"
Asakura raises her hand.
"Yes, Ryoko?"
"I believe that there is a 13.79% chance the item may be hidden here at Tribal Council."
The others in the tribe gasp. Temari starts looking all over, trying to find it.
"And what gives you that impression, Ryoko?" Jet asks.
"By process of elimination," Asakura states. "But there is still a good chance it may be found elsewhere. However, I cannot rule out the possibility of such an item being in our vicinity."
"If such an item was around, what would you do?"
"I'd pick it up!" Ritsuko exclaims, to laughter all around.
"Oh yes, of course," Jet says. "But how would you know where to find it?"
"We'll have our eyes out like hawks," Temari states.
"Indeed you will. Just remember that if you do make a wish, you could cancel out all other votes, and decide the vote all by yourself. This may not be as clear-cut of a good move as you think, as it could haunt you on the jury. But it is a way to save yourself, in a bit of a different way than the immunity plushie does."
"Our eyes are peeled," Kikyo remarks.
"Another thing you got to be on the lookout for: your name on the parchment, because too many times, and you're going home. And speaking of that, it is… time to vote. Anri, you're up first."
The new Tribal Council music plays as Anri gets up from her seat.
Anri goes to vote.
Asakura goes to vote.
Ayeka goes to vote.
Honoka goes to vote.
Kikyo goes to vote.
"I don't think you've been pulling your weight in challenges, and that's why I'm voting for you," Kikyo says, holding up her vote for Temari.
Ritsuko goes to vote.
Temari goes to vote.
Tessa goes to vote.
After Tessa comes back from voting, Jet says, "I'll go tally the votes."
Jet gathers the votes, rearranges them, then returns to his usual spot.
"If anyone has an immunity plushie, and you would like to play it, now would be the time to do so."
No one makes a move.
"Okay. Now, if anyone has a wish they would like to make to the Incubator, now would be the time to do so."
Again, no one makes a move.
"All right. Once the votes are read, the decision is final, and the person voted out will be asked to leave the Tribal Council area immediately. I'll read the votes."
Jet pulls out the first vote.
"Temari."
Temari looks a bit angry.
"Temari."
Temari bites her lip.
"Ayeka."
Ayeka shakes her head.
"Ayeka."
Ayeka sighs.
"Ayeka. Three votes Ayeka, two votes Temari."
Jet pulls out the next vote.
"Ayeka. Four votes Ayeka, two votes Temari, two votes left."
"Incubator, can you save me now?" Ayeka pleads.
"I am afraid that I cannot," Kyubey speaks up.
Jet chuckles, pulling out the final vote and opening it slowly. "Second person voted out of Survivor: Xing, Ayeka Jurai. That's five, that's enough, no need to reveal the final vote. You need to bring me your torch."
"How rude!" Ayeka shouts, as she gets up to grab her torch. She picks it up and brings it over to Jet.
"Ayeka, the tribe has spoken."
Jet snuffs out Ayeka's torch.
"It's time for you to go."
Ayeka sticks her nose in the air and walks out of the Tribal Council area.
"If you want to make a wish, you've got to make it before the votes are read," Jet says. "And you've got to have the item the Incubator is looking for. Grab your torches, head back to camp, good night."
"Excuse me?" Asakura says, raising her hand.
"Yes, Ryoko?" Jet asks.
"May we see the final vote?"
Jet laughs. "No, you may not."
Asakura looks down sadly, then the seven remaining players take their torches and head back to camp.
"I can't believe they chose to vote me out!" Ayeka says. "What did I do wrong? I'm just as good at challenges as any of them. There's no reason they ought to have cut me out of this tribe. They'll pay for it, mark my words."
Who voted for whom:
Anri – Ayeka
Asakura – Ayeka
Ayeka – Temari
Honoka – Ayeka
Kikyo – Temari
Ritsuko – Ayeka
Temari – Ayeka
Tessa – Ayeka
Scenes from our next episode:
Loly continues to hate her tribe:
"I hate everyone in this tribe," Loly says. "Kei and Faye – the cool cats. May – the overly cute bundle of energy. Yukino and Kaname – the smart girls. Suzuka and Olivier – the strong women. And especially Haruhi, for every reason imaginable."
The Yao tribe debates over whether to use the Medallion of Power:
As they sit in the shelter, Kikyo brings up the topic of the Medallion of Power.
"We must use this thing, in order to get back into the game," she mentions.
"But if we use it, they get a chance with it next," Temari says. "I'm not sure we need it."
