Previously on, Survivor,

Shohn told Jett that he would be added to his all-Tomqi alliance of 6. Jett was eager to join, since he had no alliance at that point.

At Corr, Karrington and Angela decided not to go with Erik, since Enoch's alliance had the numbers over Erik, and they wanted to stick with the majority.

Tomqi won the reward challenge, and won a steak dinner.

As Tomqi savored their victory, Ryne and Jett talked about trying to split up Diane and Rebecca, and tell Shohn that he can't go to the finals with the both of them.

Back at Corr, Robert told everyone at camp that he was partially deaf in both ears. Erik became worried about Erik, and told Angela about it.

Tomqi gave it their all at the immunity, but still lost to Corr for the third straight time.

Before tribal council, Shohn didn't know whether or not to keep the numbers on his side, or eliminate the untrustworthy one. Moments before they left, Jett told Shohn about what Ryne said. Shohn thought about voting Diane out.

But at tribal council, Shohn stuck with the girls, and Jett was voted off. 10 are left, who'll be voted out tonight?

Corr: Angela, Enoch, Erik, Karrington, Mime, and Robert

Tomqi: Diane, Rebecca, Ryne, and Shohn

Tomqi Day 19

Ryne was slightly annoyed after tribal council.

"Shohn was being stupid last night. He knew Rebecca and Diane are tight, and they kept them together? Oh my god, I am surrounded by idiots taller then me." - Ryne

In the shelter, Shohn, Rebecca, and Diane were talking.

"Well, with Jett gone," noted Rebecca, "How do you suppose we get the majority at merge time?"

"There's always Ryne," reminded Shohn, "I mean he's always talking %$%# about Enoch and co."

"Since we are at 5-5, we have to find a way to gain the majority, and get to the Final 5. For now, Ryne seems to be the best bet." - Shohn

"What's the boot order again?" asked Diane.

"I think Enoch, Erik, Robert, and lastly Mime." said Shohn.

"So we're keeping Ryne?" asked Rebecca.

Shohn shrugged, "For right now, I guess so. But I would like to meet the other 4 Corrs first."

Both Rebecca and Diane nodded.

"I don't trust any of the Corr members, but we have to in order to make the majority. Right now, it seems like the Corr joining us, might be Ryne." - Rebecca

– – – – –

Corr Day 19

Enoch, Robert, and Mime were going to go collect tree mail.

"I think the three of us need to stick together," noted Enoch.

Both Robert and Mime nodded.

"We could do what they did in other seasons," replied Robert, "Vote off Erik and Ryne, and then find our way into the majority. It happened with the Malakals in Reals."

Enoch nodded, "I actually like that idea. We could work Karrington and Angela."

"Robert suggested that we vote out Erik and Ryne in no particular order, and then get Karrington and Angela on our side. I think that'll work well." - Enoch

Mime collected the tree mail, and handed it off to Enoch.

"Hmm," thought Enoch, "Looks like a merge."

"Explains this crate right here," replied Robert, pointing at a crate with a keyhole on it.

"I guess we're waiting for Tomqi to come to our tribe, and unlock our crate. I'm guessing that our crate is full of new buffs, food, and a new flag. Alright." - Robert

Enoch dragged the crate to camp, and Karrington and Erik came into view.

Erik picked it up, "Need help shrimp?"

Karrington dusted his hands off, "I'll handle this."

"NO! ERIK! KARRINGTON! DON'T!" yelled Enoch, "It's the traditional merge crate."

"Oh." was all that Erik had to say.

"God, am I stupid or what. Ugh. We're merging, which means I'll get back with Ryne! That is, if he's still around." - Erik

Erik and Karrington left to go speak in private.

"You, me, Ryne, and Angela," noted Erik, "Guarantee Final 4."

Karrington was uninterested, but didn't show it, "Yeah yeah. Enoch first, I take it?"

Erik nodded, "For now. It might change, but hey, I'll adapt."

"Erik, Erik, Erik, you can't do much about this can you? Well, wait until we merge, because I'm sticking with the majority, and the majority is Tomqi, and maybe Enoch, Robert, and Mime." - Karrington

– – – – –

Corr Night 19

Enoch was waiting for the Tomqis to enter camp.

Just then Enoch heard a whistle.

Enoch shouted, "TOMQI? THAT YOU?"

A voice was heard, "Yes!"

Shohn.

Enoch got the rest of Corr up, and they ran over to help Tomqi.

They unlocked the crate with the key, and they saw bright red buffs, a red flag, and lots of food.

Everyone cheered loudly.

"Sweet! Merge time! Time to make days worth while, and have some fun!" - Karrington

"To make the merge, is a blessing. I figured that I would make it here, but not with the tribe we have." - Robert

"With the merge, comes vulnerability. Me and Shohn will no longer have the leadership necklaces, and it sucks. We are HUGE targets, and I'm ready to play." - Enoch

– – – – –

Merge Tribe Day 20

Shohn and Enoch were coming up with the tribe name.

"There are a ton of volcanoes in the Marble Zone," noted Enoch, "Why not call it that?"

Shohn nodded, "I actually would like that name."

"We are gonna call ourselves the Volcano tribe. Sure, it's a bland name, but hey, it's not like it means anything, right? It's only a name." - Shohn

Meanwhile, Rebecca, Angela, and Diane were talking.

"Are we still a tight group going into this merge?" asked Angela.

Rebecca nodded, "Yeah, it's still you, me, Diane, Shohn, and Karrington."

"Do we have a plan on how to get majority?" asked Angela.

"We're working on Ryne," replied Diane, "but perhaps Shohn will find someone better."

"Shohn told us not to worry about scrambling for someone from Corr to jump ship, he'll do it for us. So, I'm just sitting back, waiting for orders, I guess." - Diane

"Me and Karrington worked with Erik," replied Angela, "But we really don't trust him."

"I think Erik should be the first to go." noted Rebecca.

"Enoch and Erik are the largest threats on old Corr. They need to go home, and we'll have the advantage." - Rebecca

Meanwhile, Erik and Ryne were talking.

"It's you, me, Karrington, and that hottie Angela." said Erik.

Ryne nodded, "Shohn's gotta be the first to go, dude."

"Alright, fine, we'll do Shohn," noted Erik, "We just gotta get Enoch and the rest of Corr on the idea."

"My new alliance contains myself, Ryne, Karrington, and Angela. Hopefully, we'll make the Final 4." - Erik

Karrington soon arrived.

"Hey Karrington," greeted Ryne, "What's up."

"Not much, bro," smiled Karrington, "Just waiting for the challenge."

Erik nodded, "Are you ok with voting Shohn out?"

"I thought we was voting Enoch?" wondered Karrington.

"It changed," Ryne said, rolling his eyes, "I see Shohn as a larger threat then Enoch."

"I love being the double agent. It makes me feel important. These fools think I'm with them, so we'll let them think that." - Karrington

– – – – –

Volcano Day 20

Shohn and Enoch were having a chat behind the ruins.

"Hello fellow leader," joked Enoch.

Shohn chuckled, "We're no longer leaders, man."

"It sucks that me and Enoch aren't leaders anymore. With that said, we can be voted out now. But, we won't want that to happen, would we?" - Shohn

"I want to ask a favor of you," asked Enoch.

"Go on, man." replied Shohn.

"Me, Robert, and Mime all want Erik and Ryne gone," noted Enoch, "They want us out, and they are a tight nit group of 2."

Shohn nodded, "Ok, but what do I get in return?"

"Well, we could make it 3 Tomqi vs. 3 Corr in the Final 6?" offered Enoch.

"Enoch offered me a deal that, if we help him vote off Erik and Ryne, then he'll side with me and 2 other Tomqis. While that's a great deal, I like the Tomqi Final 5 idea a lot better." - Shohn

They shook hands, and separated.

As Shohn was walking back to camp, he was stopped by Karrington.

"Hey Karrington," greeted Shohn, "What's up, bro?"

"Shohn, we've got to take Erik and Ryne out! Their voting you out next!" said Karrington, worried.

Shohn was shocked.

"I was a bit surprised about what Karrington told me. Now, I have no choice but to work with Enoch's group. I think Erik and Ryne are trying to get Karrington on their side. Well, he's not going with them." - Shohn

"Listen," noted Shohn, "Just vote my way, and they'll go home quickly."

Karrington nodded.

"The game is very interesting now. You would think it'd be Corr vs. Tomqi, but it isn't. Man, someone grab me a drink, and let me sit down and relax." - Karrington

– – – – –

"Come on in guys!"

The tribes entered the challenge area.

"Guys ready for today's immunity challenge?"

Everyone nodded.

"I'll take back the leadership necklaces from Shohn and Enoch."

Shohn and Enoch did so.

"From this point on, gentlemen, you can be voted out at tribal council. Just be aware of that."

They nodded.

"Now, it's time for me to reveal a twist."

Everyone got nervous.

"We are 20 days into the game. You've gotten to know all 9 other players remaining in the game, but ONE of them is lying about their life story. One castaway is not who they say they are. This contestant was asked before coming onto the show, to change their name, job, age, and anything else they wanted. If they make the Final Four, they will receive extra cash to their prize money. You will find out who it is, when there are 7 people left."

Everyone was shocked.

"Now that that's out of the way, it's time for the challenge. You will be handcuffed to a bucket full of water, which will be hanging above your head. If you drop your hand, your out of the challenge. I'll tempt you with food to move the challenge along, by the way. Last person standing wins immunity, and cannot be voted out."

Everyone got handcuffed.

"Challenge is on..."

– 30 minutes in –

Jett came out with a bowl of candy apricots.

"We've been sitting here for an half hour. Let's give out some candy. These are candy apricots. Hungry for one?"

Angela, Diane, Karrington, and Rebecca all dropped out.

"Just like that, 4 out of 5 Tomqis drop out of the challenge."

Shohn sighed.

"We are down to 6."

– 1 hour in –

Jeff returned with a bowl of nuts.

"I love eating mixed nuts. I'll share with you, if you step down."

Enoch, Ryne, and Shohn all dropped out.

"I was getting tired anyway, man." sighed Ryne.

"We are down to Erik, Robert, and Mime."

– 1 hour, 30 minutes in –

Jeff was carrying something large.

"When I take this cover off, you have 5 seconds to take it or leave it. If no one takes it, the other 7 players will get it."

Jeff took the cover off, revealing cheese pizza.

"Pizza! Come and get it!"

Erik, Robert, and Mime all jumped off...

"By a second, ERIK WINS INDIVIUAL IMMUNITY!"

Everyone cheered for Erik.

"Good job Erik, you won immunity, not sure if it mattered to you or not, but tonight we have tribal council. 1 person leaving this game tonight. See you then."

– – – – –

Volcano Day 21

Shohn and Enoch were having a chat.

"Listen," noted Shohn, "I wanna let you know that, I'm down with your deal. I'll vote Ryne off, if you vote the same."

"Deal, man," smirked Enoch, "Ryne goes tonight, and then Erik if he doesn't have immunity."

"Tonight, I'm putting Ryne down on the paper. Not because he has dwarfism and can win a jury-vote, but because he has been with the enemy alliance; along with Erik. They have to go." - Enoch

They shook hands.

"Deal." smiled Shohn.

Shohn returned to go speak with Rebecca and Angela.

"I found someone to side with us," noted Shohn.

"Who?" wondered Rebecca.

"Enoch, along with maybe Robert and Mime," replied Shohn, "They want Ryne out."

Angela nodded, "I'm down with that. Rebecca?"

Rebecca nodded as well, "Yep! I'll vote Ryne out. Is it Erik after him?"

"Yeah, just keep it down around them, let them be blindsided," smirked Shohn.

"Enoch has offered to vote off both Ryne and Erik off in return for his safety later. However, I haven't decided if I will agree to take him to the Final 6. I doubt it, but who knows, it might help my game." - Shohn

But Erik was listening in on their conversation.

"I overheard Shohn, Rebecca, and Diane talking about voting out Ryne and I. I was pissed, first of all. I ran to go find Ryne, and I told him, 'We're screwed'." - Erik

Ryne was listening to Erik now.

"Well, what about Karrington and Angela?" wondered Ryne.

"I doubt it," sneered Erik, "They'll jump ship when they realize we're the bottom two!"

Ryne rolled his eyes.

"It seems like tonight is the night for me. It sucks knowing that you won't be on the jury. But hey, maybe Erik was seeing things. I'm sure I'm not going anywhere. But..." - Ryne

– – – – –

The Volcano tribe entered tribal council.

"This is your first tribal council as a newly merged tribe. Rebecca, how is the merge so far?" asked Jeff.

"It has been great for me. I loved meeting all the Corrs, and I think they're great people." replied Rebecca.

"Diane, how about you?" asked Jeff.

"Like Rebecca said, the Corrs know how to have fun, but at the same time, it's kind of Tomqi vs Corr right now. One tribe will gain the advantage, and the other won't." replied Diane.

"Robert, does it concern you at all that if Corr was to lose a member tonight, that they would all be picked off?" asked Jeff.

"You'd say that now, but it'll change big time, even if a Corr goes home. A Corr can still win the game." replied Robert.

"Enoch, how do you vote?" asked Jeff.

"For me, my game is sticking to the plan. My plan is still the same as it was Day 10. Eliminate my enemies. That's whats going down tonight." replied Enoch.

"Ryne, concerned at all?" asked Jeff.

"I'll answer it again, I'm still nervous, but hey, my alliance knows what to do tonight." replied Ryne.

"Ok, it's time to vote, Angela, your up."

– – –

Enoch's Vote: Goodbye, and after your gone, tell Erik to follow you out the door. (Ryne)

Erik's Vote: I know what's going down tonight, but I'm not finished playing just yet. (?)

Karrington's Vote: Sticking with the majority, which is you. Bye! (?)

Ryne's Vote: Erik told me to vote this way, and so I shall. Sorry. (?)

– – –

"Once the votes are read, the decision is final. Person voted out must leave the tribal council area immediately. I'll read the votes."

First vote, Ryne.

Angela. One vote Ryne, one vote Angela.

Ryne. Two votes Ryne, one vote Angela.

Angela. Tied two votes Ryne, two votes Angela. (Angela shrugged.)

Ryne. Three votes Ryne, two votes Angela.

Ryne. Four votes Ryne, two votes Angela. (Ryne shook his head.)

Ryne. That's five votes Ryne. (Erik was pissed now.)

Seventh person voted out of Survivor Marble, Ryne. 6 votes are enough. You need to hand me your torch.

Ryne shook Erik's hand, "Good luck, man."

"Ryne, the tribe has spoken."

He snuffed out his torch.

"Time for you to go."

Ryne left without another word.

"Looks like, based on your answers, Tomqi has the advantage. But, like Robert said, anything is possible, and the game can change. Grab your torches and head on back. Good night."

– – – – –

Angela – Ryne and Erik

Ryne – Rebecca, Angela, Mime, Diane, Enoch, Shohn, Karrington, and Robert

Episode 8 is gonna be up tonight as well.

Btw this is the first time that I have EVER planned Episodes ahead of time. (just rewards, immunities, boots, and whatnot.) I already know who the Final 6 will be...but you'll have to wait to find out...
