Previously on, Survivor,
Limberg and Cyrano were trusting Woolio to be a part of their alliance, since Ace and Sprocket were deemed untrustworthy.
At Zapatera, Gonzo was still sure that Cousteau was on his side, but, he wasn't. Cousteau was sticking with his new deal with Ace, Limberg, Sprocket, and Cyrano when the time came.
On Day 19, the two tribes merged into the green Tepetera tribe.
The 12 remaining survivors partied it up, especially Cousteau and Tangy, who engaged in some romantic actions. However, this was not from the heart, since they were both drunk.
On the morning of Day 20, while Woolio reassured Sven of his position in the tribe, Gonzo and the Zapatera girls were planning to use the two friends as bait in order to send home a member of Ometepe.
At the immunity challenge, Sprocket's robotic figure helped him win the first individual immunity.
Before tribal council, the alliance of Limberg, Woolio, Cyrano, Cousteau, and Sven all plotted to vote out Ace, for being a threat. However, the girls wanted Sven out, for being a jury threat. Limberg was in the middle, and he wasn't sure what to do.
At tribal council, Limberg and all of his comrades, minus Woolio, threw their votes on Ace, while they watched Sven get voted out of the tribe. Sven became the first jury member. 11 are left, who'll be voted out, tonight?
Final 11: Ace, Ankha, Cousteau, Cyrano, Freya, Gonzo, Limberg, Mint, Sprocket, Tangy, and Woolio
Jury: Sven

Tepetera Day 22
Ace returned to camp, suspicious about last night.
"Last night, I received 4 votes, ace. I was really paranoid about them, too. I wonder if some of my allies were planning a blindside on me." - Ace
To find out the answer, Ace went up to Limberg.
"Do you know who voted for me, ace?" asked Ace.
Limberg nodded, "I bet three of the girls voted for ya, squinky."
Ace was confused, "But they wanted me to vote for Sven last night, ace."
Limberg chuckled, "It's called manipulation for a reason, Ace, squinky."
"Oh Acey, don't you realize that your in danger, squinky? I see you as the biggest threat right now, and your gonna have to go." - Limberg
"Just remain calm right now, squinky," reminded Limberg, "Your gonna be in the Final 6 with the rest of the true Ometepes."
Ace nodded, and walked away.
"The chat with Limberg eased my paranoia down a bit. I'm glad I made such a loyal ally for myself and Sprocket, ace." - Ace
Meanwhile, Gonzo and Cyrano were chatting in the shelter.
"Not that I'm surprised," noted Gonzo, "But why Ace over Sven, mate?"
Cyrano shrugged, "Should I answer that question, ah-CHOO?"
Gonzo got mad quickly, "Meh. Only if you want to...mate."
"Last night, Sven went home, but Ace got three votes. I'm guessing they were from Limberg and Cyrano. I'm not sure who the other one was... probably Woolio, mate." - Gonzo
Cyrano sighed, and got up from the shelter, "Come with me, ah-CHOO."
Gonzo shrugged, and followed Cyrano out into the jungle.
"Listen, Ace is the biggest threat right now," noted Cyrano, "If he were to go home, I think that'd be one less threat for physical challenges, and the jury vote, ah-CHOO."
Gonzo nodded.
"I told Gonzo we're voting Ace next as strategy. I'm not sure if Limberg wants to vote Ace again, ah-CHOO. If he does, so be it. But, if he doesn't, we can throw the Zapateras off course, and blindside one of them." - Cyrano
"Alright man," nodded Gonzo, "I've got your word on this. Ace is gone, mate."
They shook hands.
"I trust Cyrano more then I do Limberg, so I'm glad I got this information from Cyrano, mate. I think Cyrano would tell the truth over Limberg, who'd probably lie to my face." - Gonzo

Tepetera Day 22
Limberg and Woolio were talking by the beach.
"This game is going in our favor, biz-aaa." smirked Woolio.
Limberg nodded, "I know right? As long as we stick together, BAM; Final 4 is in our sites!"
"Limberg's been my true number one ally from Day... whatever it was. Sven may have been a buddy, but Limberg's a true ally to me, biz-aaa." - Woolio
"Listen, uh, Woolio, squinky?" asked Limberg.
"Yeah, biz-aaa?" asked Woolio.
"I want to tell you something really serious, squinky." replied Limberg.
"What is it, biz-aaa?" replied Woolio.
Limberg sighed, "Well, when we make the Final 4, squinky, I think it's best that you go at fourth place. That is, if you don't win immunity. In that case, Cousteau goes home."
Woolio nodded, "That it, biz-aaa?"
Limberg nodded, "Pretty much, squinky."
"Limberg told me that I was fourth in his alliance, which I was fine with. But, you know what? I'm gonna give it my damnedest to win final immunity to ensure my spot at Final Tribal, biz-aaa." - Woolio
"Your not mad are ya, squinky?" wondered Limberg.
Woolio shook his head, "Nah. It's all good, biz-aaa."
"Between Cousteau and Woolio, I have to take one of them to the Final 3. Woolio, in my opinion, would cream me at the Final Tribal, squinky. He's been super nice to everyone." - Limberg
Meanwhile, Ace and Sprocket were talking.
"Let me ask you something, ace." said Ace to Sprocket.
"Yes, zort?" replied Sprocket.
"Do you trust Limberg and Cyrano, ace?" asked Ace.
Sprocket shrugged, "I'm not so sure after last night, but we have to confide in them, zort."
"Limberg and Cyrano are good overall people, zort. Problem is, they are a tight twosome, and me and Ace are a tight twosome. Those two might be threatened by us at some point." - Sprocket
Ace nodded, "Alright then, ace. If you want to confide in them, I'll do the same."
Sprocket smiled.
– – – – –
"Come on in guys!"
The Tepetera tribe entered the challenge area.
"Guys ready for today's reward challenge?"
Everyone nodded.
"For today's challenge, we'll divide you all up into groups of 5. Due to there being 11 people, one person will not participate in this challenge. There are 5 stages in this challenge; one for each group member. You will assign each member a stage to work on. Once Stage 1 is compete, then Stage 2 begins. Once Stage 5 is complete, that tribe wins reward."
"You'll leave here, and be taken away by helicopter, for a tour of the neighboring city of Gaia. You'll enjoy fruit smoothies and desert during your ride. Let's get started."
Team A
Stage 1: Mint
Stage 2: Cousteau
Stage 3: Tangy
Stage 4: Woolio
Stage 5: Ankha
Team B
Stage 1: Cyrano
Stage 2: Gonzo
Stage 3: Sprocket
Stage 4: Freya
Stage 5: Limberg
"Ace is not competing in this challenge, as such, Ace cannot be eligible for the reward. Stage 1 begins first. Survivors ready? GO!"
The first challenge was to catch the sea bass in the pool. Mint and Cyrano were responsible for this stage. Cyrano had some difficulty with catching the fish. Mint had less trouble, and caught the fish, allowing Stage 2 to begin for Team A.
The second stage was for a member of the team to catch a scorpion. This job was for Cousteau for Team A. While Cyrano continued to have problems with the fish. Cousteau used his 'Jock' skills to swiftly catch the bug, and allow Stage 3 to start for Team A.
The third challenge was for a member of the team to dig in the ground to find the fossil. For Team A, Tangy had to do this chore. But Cyrano was already finished with his fishing, and it was Gonzo's turn.
Gonzo grabbed his net and chased after the scorpion. But the scorpion was too quick for Gonzo, and Tangy soon found the fossil.
The fourth challenge was to chop down 4 trees. Simple enough, but the axes they had to use were old and nearly broken. Woolio was in charge of this station. Fortunately, Gonzo failed to catch the scorpion, and Woolio took his sweet time chopping down the trees.
For the final stage, they had to make a fire to burn through the rope, which will raise the team flag. Ankha was the last one in charge, and she worked on the fire. It wasn't too difficult for her. Gonzo STILL was on Stage 2, and at this point, it didn't matter anymore.
"THE TEAM OF WOOLIO, ANKHA, MINT, TANGY, AND COUSTEAU WIN REWARD!"
All of Team A cheered and hugged.
"Good job Team A, you've won the reward, and your gonna enjoy a great day. Head on out to the helicopter. As for the other 6 of you, nothing for you, head on back to camp."

Reward Day 22
All 5 winners of the reward challenge were hyped for the reward.
"Today we won reward, biz-aaa. It was really great since I'm spending time with a good buddy of mine, and 3 hot girls. What can be better then this?" - Woolio
They entered the helicopter, and it took off.
"Let's enjoy this reward guys, oui oui!" smiled Cousteau.
Tangy nodded, "Yeah, I'm with you on that, reeeeOWR!"
As they were served their fruit smoothies, Ankha was thinking about something.
"To be honest, I'm glad that we're here on this reward, me me meow. We got Cousteau and Woolio, and I think we need to work on them to vote out Ace. If they voted Ace last night, then I think they'll do it again." - Ankha
Ankha looked at Woolio, "Are you guys gonna vote Ace at the next tribal council, me me meow?"
Woolio shrugged, "Why should we tell you babe, biz-aaa?"
"Just saying, you know," noted Ankha, "He IS a rather big threat, me me meow."
Woolio nodded.
"Ankha talked to me and Cousteau about voting out Ace at the next tribal council, biz-aaa. I do agree with her, but I really don't want to commit to anything yet. If they lie to us, and then later tell Ace about it, we're screwed." - Woolio
"Just because," reminded Cousteau, "four people voted for Ace last night, doesn't mean they'll vote for him again, oui oui."
Ankha shrugged.
"Of course, they didn't say much, me me meow. But they're jocks! They have big egos, and that could make them break." - Ankha
– – – – –
Tepetera Night 22
Limberg was resting in the shelter with Cyrano.
"They better be working on those two, ah-CHOO." muttered Cyrano.
Limberg nodded, "Yeah, then their asses will be leaving the door once Cousteau and Woolio tell us, squinky."
"You know, as much as I want Ace out, those girls are manipulative. I know some girls that are manipulative. I know my wife is, squinky. And so is my daughter." - Limberg
Just then, Sprocket went up to them.
"Hey Limberg," he asked, "Could I ask you something, zort?"
Limberg looked up, and nodded, "Sure."
Limberg and Sprocket walked into the forest.
"Do you guys still trust us, zort?" asked Sprocket.
Limberg was slightly half-awake, but still nodded, "Yeah, why, squinky?"
"Just wondering," noted Sprocket, "Because Ace received votes last night, zort."
Limberg nodded, "It was probably 4 of those girls, squinky."
"Of course I lied to him, you have to lie to those your not aligned with, squinky. It's part of the game!" - Limberg
Meanwhile, Freya and Gonzo were talking.
"I think those girls should be working on the jock-heads," joked Gonzo, "It's our only hope, mate."
Freya nodded, "They will. I mean, those girls are smart, uff da. They know what they are doing."
"I have an alliance with 4 other people, and we need the ONE person, uff da. Once we have that ONE person, we're set to the end!" - Freya
"We already got Cousteau," noted Gonzo, "So we SHOULD have the numbers already, mate."
"Never hurts to try, you know, uff da." reminded Freya.
Gonzo nodded, "Your right, mate."
"Me and Cousteau are on Zapatera's side, and so far, I've been making the right decision. I won't regret it unless the Zapateras start going out one by one. But, I'm glad that's not happening, mate!" - Gonzo
– – – – –
Tepetera Day 23
The 5 members who went on the reward have returned, and were working around camp.
Ankha and Freya were talking about the reward.
"Basically," noted Ankha, "Those boys didn't spill much, me me meow."
"Did they say they'll join us, uff da?" asked Freya.
Ankha shook her head, "Nothing of the sort, no. I think they are on Ace's side, maybe, me me meow?"
"According to Ankha, Cousteau and Woolio were not interested in voting for Ace. Either they are Ace's side, or they don't want to align with us, uff da." - Freya
Freya sighed, "Oh well... we just gotta lure out some cracks in the Ometepe Alliance, uff da."
Ankha nodded, "I know, me me meow."
"Right now, we don't have the numbers, me me meow. I really hope Freya and Gonzo can find a backdoor, and save us all." - Ankha
Meanwhile, Woolio, Cousteau, Limberg, and Cyrano were talking.
"So, did they try to work you guys, squinky?" asked Limberg.
Woolio nodded, "They did, man. But me and Cousteau didn't say much, biz-aaa."
Limberg nodded, angered.
"I hate having to do this, but I think a Zapatera has to go home, squinky. As much as I WANT Ace to go home, I think he needs to stay. I'm not so sure yet, but I'm nearing voting for a Zapatera." - Limberg
Cyrano shrugged, "Oh well, I guess. They don't have the numbers, ah-CHOO. It's 6 against 5 as it is."
"The only thing that can hurt us," warned Cousteau, "Is if they talk to Ace and Sprocket, oui oui."
Limberg growled, "They wouldn't, squinky!"
"If Ace and Sprocket know we voted for Ace last tribal, we are done, done, done, ah-CHOO."- Cyrano
– – – – –
"Come on in guys!"
The tribes entered the challenge area.
"Guys ready for today's immunity challenge?"
Everyone nodded.
"I'll take back the immunity from Sprocket."
Sprocket did so.
"For today's challenge, I will give you an order of 6 random animals from the Animal Crossing series. You must place them in the correct order I gave them in. If you get it wrong, your out. Last person standing wins immunity."
Everyone got situated.
"First order: Derwin. Bertha. Dotty. Rio. Belle. Huggy."
…
…
…
…
…
"Ankha, Limberg, Sprocket, and Freya are wrong. We're down to 7."
"Next order: Deena. Sue E. Maddie. Chief. Joey. Purrl."
…
…
…
…
…
"Ace, Cousteau, and Mint are wrong. We're down to 4 players."
"Next order: Penny. Scoot. Lucy. Pecan. Pate. Leopold."
…
…
…
…
…
"Woolio is the only casualty in that round. Down to 3 players!"
"Next order: Tybalt. Bubbles. Friga. Dora. Gwen. Hugh."
…
Only one got it right...
…
…
…
…
…
"Cyrano is the only one right, CYRANO WINS IMMUNITY!"
Everyone cheered for Cyrano.
"Good job Cyrano, you are safe tonight at the vote. As for the rest of Tepetera, one of you is going home tonight. See you there!"
– – – – –
Tepetera Day 24
Gonzo, Freya, Mint, Tangy, and Ankha were talking by the beach.
"Tonight," planned Gonzo, "The five of us will vote for Ace, and hopefully Cousteau and Woolio join forces, mate."
All the girls nodded.
"I hope this plan works out, as I think Ace is much more of a threat right now then any of the Zapateras, uff da." - Freya
Mint was also worried, but a lot more then the other girls.
"I'm not sure if I can go far with these girls, should we get the majority, ahhhhhh. I never felt safe since my old alliance went out. I think I may have to jump ship to Ometepe at some point, but when?" - Mint
Limberg and Cyrano were thinking hard about the vote.
"I don't know, squinky," sighed Limberg, "Much as I want Ace to go, I believe those girls will soon take advantage."
Cyrano nodded, "That's what I was afraid of, ah-CHOO."
"Ace is the biggest threat right now, and I'm sure it'd be nice to send him home, ah-CHOO. However, we're not safe after he's gone. I think it's in our best interest to vote out the girls. But I'll do whatever Limberg wants. In the end, he'll take the bullets." - Cyrano
Limberg sighed, "But I don't want to keep Ace around much longer, squinky."
Both men stood around thinking for a long time.
"Whatever happens at tribal, stays at tribal, squinky. Tonight is no different. Some people think we're voting one way, or another. It's crazy. But in the end, I'll still end up on top." - Limberg
– – – – –
The Tepetera tribe entered tribal council.
"We'll bring in the first member of our jury,"
"Sven, voted out last tribal council."
Sven was wearing a diamond shirt, and smiled to the remaining players.
"So, we've had some crazy days. Cyrano, was today crazy for you?" asked Jeff.
"Definitely, ah-CHOO. Major scrambling going on behind the scenes, and I was approached numerous times." replied Cyrano.
"Limberg, do you know who's scrambling?" asked Jeff.
"Everyone should be scrambling, squinky. There isn't a reason not to. If you want to stay in the game, you have to scramble. Even if your 100% safe." replied Limberg.
"Ace, how sure are you that your name isn't gonna show up tonight?" asked Jeff.
"I'm not sure. I expect my name to show up, as I AM a strong player. Everyone knows that, ace." replied Ace.
"Gonzo, worried at all that your on the outside?" asked Jeff.
"I was once on the outside, but now I've come to find myself in the majority, mate. It's a great feeling." replied Gonzo.
Limberg and Cousteau rolled their eyes.
"Mint, are you sure about tonight's vote?" asked Jeff.
Mint shook her head.
"I would say yes, but that's getting arrogant, and I think it's too deep into the game to feel any sort of 'power' yet, ahhhhhh." replied Mint.
"Woolio, your a quiet player. Speak your mind, brother." offered Jeff.
"Well, Jeff, tonight's vote is a big one; for either tribe. If a Zapatera goes home, Ometepe has the power, and vice versa. For me, biz-aaa, my money's going in the Ometepe bucket." replied Woolio.
"It's time to vote, Ankha, your up."
– – –
Ace's Vote: I believe you are the biggest threat on the Zapatera side, ace. No hard feelings. (Ankha)
Cyrano's Vote: Sorry it had to be this way, ah-CHOO. (?)
Gonzo's Vote: Ace, you should've gone last tribal council, but this time, you are going home, mate. (Ace)
Mint's Vote: Nothing personal, ahhhhhh. (?)
– – –
"When 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, Ace. (He wasn't too surprised.)
…
Ace. Two votes Ace.
…
Ace. Three votes Ace. (He was slightly pissed.)
…
…
Ankha. One vote Ankha. (She was slightly surprised.)
…
Ankha. Two votes Ankha, three votes Ace.
…
…
Ankha. We're tied, three votes Ankha, three votes Ace. (Freya looked at Limberg.)
…
…
Ace. That's four votes Ace, three votes Ankha. (Ace sighed.)
…
…
…
Ankha. Tied again, four votes Ankha, four votes Ace. (Ace saw hope.)
…
…
Ankha. That's five votes Ankha.
…
Tenth person voted out of Survivor Distant, and the second member of our jury, Ankha. That's 6, it's enough. You need to hand me your torch.
Ankha hugged her fellow Zapateras goodbye, as she gave up her torch.
"Ankha, the tribe has spoken."
He snuffed out her torch.
"Time for you to go."
Ankha left tribal without another word.
"A Zapatera went home tonight. Like Woolio said, Ometepe got the majority, and if history repeats itself, Ometepe will be in the finals. Grab your torches, and head on back to camp. Good night."
– – – – –
Ankha's Final Words
"That's how the cookie crumbles, I guess. I hope that Zapatera finds a way to get out of this mess, and turn Ometepe against eachother. That would be really entertaining for me to watch as a juror, me me meow. Good luck girls! Win the million!"
Ace – Ankha, Freya, Gonzo, and Tangy
Ankha – Ace, Limberg, Woolio, Cyrano, Sprocket, Mint, and Cousteau
NEXT TIME ON, SURVIVOR...
Limberg finds himself in trouble!
"That's what you heard, ace?" wondered Ace.
Gonzo nodded, "I'm #$%#ing serious dude, mate!"
"This could be the most honest thing Gonzo has said, ace." - Ace
And learns the hard way too!
"They've got Ace and Sprocket, ah-CHOO!" warned Cyrano.
Limberg growled.
"This mouse ain't going down without a FIGHT, squinky!" - Limberg
Then, Limberg makes a huge move.
"You jump to Ometepe," planned Limberg, "And vote out those girls, I think you'll be in for a treat, squinky."
Gonzo nodded, "Sounds like a plan, mate."
"Hey, I might have to do whatever to stay in this, mate!" - Gonzo
