Previously on, Survivor,
Tyler showed his idol to David, and explained his plan of a Final 4 of them, Jill, and Timmy. David agreed to join Tyler.
At Galu, Timmy shared the same information with Jill. Meanwhile, Amethyst, Freddi, and Nicole agreed to side with the remaining fans minus Timmy, and stick together. However, Amethyst was weary of Nicole's true intentions. She thought Nicole wanted all fans at the Finals.
On Day 22, the two tribes became 1, and they all became members of the blue Foxhound tribe; named after the movie they watched, 'Fox and the Hound'.
When they all returned to camp, it was alliance strategizing day. The alliances of Arlando/Ben/Jada, Amethyst/Freddi/Nicole, and David/Jill/Timmy/Tyler all strategized, planning to eliminate several targets.
However, one wild card was Jill, who was in the middle of two alliances. Arlando was trying to get Jill and Timmy to jump ship and help the Favorites. Jill agreed, since she was beginning to lose trust in David and Tyler.
Arlando ended up winning the first individual immunity challenge.
With Nicole being the obvious target, everyone knew she was going home. Reason being was that she had the idol, and they wanted it gone.
At tribal council, the idol was gone, but it helped save Nicole in the process. Instead, her target; Timmy, went home. He became the first member of the jury. 9 are left, who'll be voted out tonight?
Final 9: Amethyst, Arlando, Ben, David, Freddi, Jada, Jill, Nicole, and Tyler
Jury: Timmy

Foxhound Day 25
Tyler and David were talking.
"That was unexpected." muttered David.
"Last night, Timmy was voted out. That brings my alliance down to 3; myself, Tyler, and Jill. Right now, we HAVE to stick together, and take out Nicole's alliance. We have to." - David
"However," noted Tyler, "Nicole's no longer a threat. The only reason I wanted her gone was because of the idol."
David nodded, "Yeah I know. Nicole's probably the weakest one here right now, to be honest."
"Nicole was the biggest threat for me, until now. She threw the idol away, and now, I want Amethyst and Freddi out. Their much more stronger then her anyway. Plus, they are pretty smart." - Tyler
"So, who's the biggest threat now?" wondered David.
"Amethyst," said Tyler, "She's way too smart, and could probably win this game."
David nodded.
Meanwhile, Jill and Jada were talking.
"Sucks that Timmy's gone now," sighed Jill, "But we have to push forward, right?"
Jada nodded, "Yep. Arlando and Ben are pulling the shots, and as long as we stick by them, we'll be okay."
"I don't trust David or Tyler anymore. Besides, Timmy's gone now, if I side with them, we'll only be 3-3-3. If I go with the Favorites, it'll be 4-3-2. Those are better odds for me." - Jill
"Who's next to go?" wondered Jill.
"Probably Nicole. But I'm not so sure," explained Jada, "Ben thinks that getting rid of Amethyst and Freddi is what needs to happen now."
Jill nodded, "I see them as more of a threat. Nicole's just a whiney baby."
Jada nodded.
"I'm in a good position in this game. Last time, I was on the oust with Quinny and Dustin. This time, Arlando, myself, Ben, and Jill have the power, and I think we're set for the Final 4." - Jada
– – – – –
Foxhound Day 25
Arlando, Ben, and Tyler were talking.
"What is up?" greeted Ben.
"Not much," replied Tyler, "Just thinking."
"Bout what?" asked Ben.
"I think Nicole should stay for a little while longer." said Tyler.
Ben nodded, "You mean vote off Amethyst and Freddi first? Interesting."
"I agree with Tyler, since Nicole is not a threat anymore with the idol. It made her powerful, but now it's made her a weaker fox. Remember, I'm still the hound dog here! (imitates Copper howl)" - Ben
"I like the two of them," said Tyler, "They seem like good girls, pretty ones too, but their threats to me."
Arlando nodded, "If we do this, Amethyst has to go first. All Freddi has going for her is her swimming. That's it."
"Don't forget her mentality." reminded Ben.
Arlando nodded.
"Amethyst is the biggest mental threat in this game. We voted Nicole, since we thought she had the idol. Now that it's gone, Nicole lost a lot of protection." - Arlando
Tyler spoke up, "All I want is this: I don't want to be voted out before Nicole, Amethyst, and Freddi. That's just a disgrace to me."
Ben chuckled, "I wouldn't worry, bro. Unless something happens, your here for another 9 days for sure."
"Or less." muttered Arlando.
"I made a deal with Arlando and Ben, to make sure that I'm not their next target. We agreed on voting Amethyst out next tribal council. That's what I'm doing, and it's not changing." - Tyler
Meanwhile, Amethyst and Freddi were talking.
"I'm glad Nicole played the idol," smiled Freddi.
Amethyst nodded, "I know. But we still have to keep our eyes peeled."
"I know, girl. Everyone is gonna want us out more then her." explained Freddi.
"Exactly," replied Amethyst, "We have to win immunity. Don't hold back on water challenges, please."
Freddi nodded.
"Even though everyone voted Nicole last tribal council, I'm still afraid that me and Freddi are on the oust. We're a lot stronger then Nicole, and probably smarter then her. We have to fight to stay, now." - Amethyst
– – – – –
"Come on in guys!"
The Foxhound tribe entered the challenge area.
"Guys ready for today's reward challenge?"
Everyone nodded.
"For today's reward challenge, we will choose captains. They will take turns picking players. Only one of you will not be chosen. Instead, you'll go to Exile Island. Anyway, for the challenge, 2 members of your team will be responsible for swimming out to retrieve puzzle pieces. Once all 4 bags have been retrieved, the other 2 members can begin on the puzzle. First tribe to solve the puzzle wins reward."
"You will leave here, and will partake in a Survivor feast. All of your favorite castaways will be there. We've gathered 14 of them. While there, you will feast on hamburgers, mac and cheese, hot dogs, chicken, pork, and the likes. Let's pick our teams."
TEAM A
Members: Ben(captain), Arlando, Jada, and Jill
Swimming: Arlando and Jada
Puzzle: Ben and Jill
TEAM B
Members: Nicole(captain), Amethyst, Freddi, and Tyler
Swimming: Freddi and Tyler
Puzzle: Amethyst and Nicole
"David was not chosen in the schoolyard pick. David, you have to go to Exile Island. You'll return in time for the immunity challenge."
David went on his way.
"Survivors ready? GO!"
Arlando and Freddi dived out to collect their first puzzle piece bag. Both made it on record time.
Jada and Tyler dived out next. Tyler had a lead over Jada, and quickly got his bag to his team before Jada.
Freddi went out again, but didn't catch up to Jada. Jada made it back with her bag, sending Arlando out again.
Freddi made it back with the third bag, and Tyler dived out for the final bag for Team B. Arlando was far ahead of Tyler, and he made it back before Tyler did.
But Jada couldn't catch up to Tyler, as Tyler was already ahead with the final bag in his hand.
Amethyst and Nicole began working on their puzzle, meanwhile Jada made it back with the final bag for Team A.
Both teams worked on their puzzle, and only one finished first...
…
…
…
…
…
"Team B is right. NICOLE, AMETHYST, FREDDI, AND TYLER WIN REWARD!"
All of Team B hugged and cheered.
"Good job girls, and Tyler. You are gonna join in a feast, along with other Survivors. Grab your stuff and head over. As for Ben, Jada, Arlando, and Jill. I have nothing for you. Return to camp."

Exile Island Night 25
David was sleeping on the beach, not interested in the idol clue.
"Tyler already has an idol, and I think we'll be fine with it. I just hope we don't have to waste the idol next tribal." - David
David placed the clue in his pocket.
"Just in case." he said to himself.
– – – – –
Reward Day 26
All 4 survivors ran into the feast area, and were very happy to see everyone.
Among all of the Survivors, there was Billy, Daniel, Dongwa, Eric, Etna, Karrington, Lady, Mark, Mime, Peter, Quinn, Roy, Skorbet, and Sonic. None of the 8 winners were there, but their portraits were engraved into the dinner table.
Amethyst was talking with Roy and Skorbet.
"Enjoying yourself with these fans?" asked Skorbet.
Amethyst nodded, "It's great. These people with me, minus Tyler, are in my alliance."
Roy chuckled, "Hope you guys do well."
"Roy and Skorbet are awesome. I wish they were here, playing the game." - Amethyst
Freddi was talking with Etna and Lady.
"Did you guys even get the call to come out here?" asked Freddi.
"I did," muttered Etna, "But I didn't feel like it. Online, most people wanted her out here."
She pointed at Lady.
"Well, wasn't she the Fan Favorite?" asked Freddi.
"I declined as well," replied Lady, "I figured I wait for a while."
"I loved hanging out with my old pals from Cuties. I wish Lady made the roster, but not so much Etna. If Etna were here, I much rather be at home watching her." - Freddi
Nicole was getting to know Mime, Daniel, and Mark. Mime just got done doing a performance.
"That was amazing Mime!" smiled Nicole.
Mime smiled.
"Yes," nodded Daniel, "Mime is indeed amazing."
"I'm shocked to see that Arlando is still here," said Mark.
"He's been fighting to be here, he's such a strong guy!" said Nicole.
"Omigod. These guys were the ones I watched on TV. I loved each and every one of them! Well, expect Karrington, Etna, and maybe Dongwa." - Nicole
Tyler was getting to know Karrington, Sonic, and Quinn.
Sonic just got done hearing about Jacky getting evacuated again, "Dang. Again. Jacky is so unlucky these days."
Karrington nodded, "Dude, I wish I was in playing with you guys. I'm a favorite."
"Uh, no your not," sighed Tyler, "All I heard for weeks was 'I swear if Karrington wins...' and 'I hope Karrington does not win'."
Karrington chuckled, "Oh come on."
Quinn changed the subject, "So how's my Jades?"
"She's doing great, Quinn," smiled Tyler, "You are so lucky to have that girl as your girlfriend. She is so damn hot."
Quinn nodded, "Yep, she is indeed."
"It was amazing to get to know these guys, because who knows, I might play the game with them. Maybe." - Tyler
– – – – –
Foxhound Day 26
Arlando, Ben, Jada, and Jill were talking.
"So your fully jumping ship to us," asked Ben, "Huh Jill?"
Jill nodded, "I don't mind taking fourth. I mean, I'll try to kick your butts, but I'm fine with taking fourth, if that's my fate."
"I trust these Favorites, since I've gotten to know Arlando quite a bit since we swapped. Despite his big scary size, he's actually quite kind at times." - Jill
"Also," said Ben, changing the subject randomly, "Have you noticed that there are 5 girls, and 4 boys."
Arlando nodded, "Yeah, man. That's a Survivor first. Or, well, I think so, since I didn't watch Koopa Beach."
"It's not a first," noted Jada, "It happened in Koopa Beach."
"Oh. Nevermind." said Ben.
"You see!" chuckled Arlando, "I've only watched the seasons prior to mine. I've been focusing on wrestling season."
"Did you get an offer for All Stars?" asked Jill.
Ben nodded, "Yeah, but I turned it down. I was in Singapore with my family, so I couldn't come. However, considering that there were 6 Green Hills, I think I'm glad I didn't come."
"I never got one," muttered Arlando, "It was only until now, they asked me back."
"I don't really consider myself a fan favorite among everyone here. I think I was brought back because they needed a representative from Emerald Hill. Someone like Michael should of accepted the offer." - Arlando
"I actually went to the luncheon they had on All Stars," smiled Jada, "It was really fun."
Jill smiled, and for the most of the day, they talked about past seasons.
– – – – –
Foxhound Day 26
Amethyst, Freddi, Tyler, and Nicole returned from the reward.
Tyler was off by himself, watching the sunset.
"To be honest, I see an opening. I have changed my strategy. Once Jill and Nicole are gone, we get Amethyst and Freddi on our side, and take out the 3 other favorites. Only then could me and David have a chance." - Tyler
Meanwhile, Amethyst, Nicole, and Freddi were talking.
"I do have an idea to stay in the game," said Nicole.
"What is it?" asked Freddi.
"We need to side with either the David/Tyler duo, or the Arlando/Ben/Jada/Jill group," said Nicole, "While that sounds obvious, I think once the other group is gone, we'll hold power over the other."
"I want to stay in this game, and I'm thinking that I'm the next to go. If my group of 3 sides with one of the two other groups, we might stand a chance." - Nicole
"Especially if Jill were to be voted out," explained Amethyst, "I heard her name come on recently."
"Really?" said Freddi.
Amethyst nodded.
"Hopefully, Jill is to go home before my alliance. According to what I know, Jill is the middle of two alliances. If we can expose that, then maybe she'll be ousted quickly. That'll give me, Freddi, and Nicole a fighting chance." - Amethyst
Nicole smiled, "That might work! Jill is a threat as it is. So it'll make sense to take her out now before she wins a challenge."
"So, Jill's going next?" asked Freddi.
"Yep!" smiled Nicole.
"I hope this plan works, and that Jill goes home. We can't let this fail, or else the next three tribals will see me, Amethyst, and Freddi gone." - Nicole
– – – – –
"Come on in guys!"
The Foxhound tribe entered the challenge area.
"We'll bring in David, returning from Exile Island."
David came in, and rejoined his tribe.
"Guys ready for today's immunity challenge?"
Everyone nodded.
"I'll take back immunity from you Arlando."
Arlando did so.
"For today's challenge, it's very simple. Your hand will be chained to the bucket, hanging in the air. If your hand drops a certain distance, the bucket of water will drop over your head, and your out. Last one standing will win immunity. Let's get started."
Everyone got chained up.
"Challenge is on."
– 30 minutes in... –
Jeff came out with some soft drinks.
"Thirsty?"
"Hell yeah!" said Arlando, and he cheerfully dropped out.
Both Amethyst and Freddi followed.
"I was getting tired up there anyway." sighed Freddi.
All 3 of them began drinking their sodas.
"I dropped out because I didn't want to go on a winning streak. I've learned from Peter. He became a HUGE target." - Arlando
– 1 hour in... –
Jeff came out with a turkey sandwich.
"I'm all for it." smiled David.
David dropped out, and took the sandwich.
"Honestly, I feel secure with my alliance. The idol was a small mishap, won't happen again." - David
– 1 hour, 30 minutes in.. –
Jeff came out with chicken wings.
"Oh yeah, baby, bring it on!" smirked Tyler, and he took the wings.
"I have the idol, so I'm not concerned about tonight. I'll only use that idol if I feel in danger." - Tyler
– 2 hours in... –
Ben, Jada, Jill, and Nicole remained.
Jeff came out with a mystery item.
"Two of you must drop out at the same time, in order to win this item."
Jeff took off the cover, and revealed 2 strawberry milkshakes.
Jada turned to Jill, "Want it?"
Jill nodded, "Sure!"
Both girls dropped out, and squealed like schoolgirls with their milkshakes.
"We're down to Nicole, and Ben Tan, the Asian Supreme."
Ben smiled, "Thank you Jeff."
– 2 hours, 30 minutes in... –
One contestant's arm got tired of hanging up...
…
…
…
…
…
"Nicole is out, BEN WINS IMMUNITY!"
Everyone cheered for Ben.
"'Atta boy, Tan. You've won the immunity, and you cannot be taken out tonight at the vote. However, one of the other 8 of you will be going home tonight. See you then."
– – – – –
Foxhound Day 27
Tyler and David were talking.
"Honestly, I do not trust Jill at all anymore," explained Tyler to David, "Not sure about you, but I think our best bet is to go with Nicole's alliance."
David sighed, "Are you sure, I mean, what if Jill is still on our side?"
Tyler shrugged, "Never know until you try."
"Tonight, I'm thinking about voting Jill out, since Jill seems untrustworthy. I had a deal with her on Day 1 and 2. But that's faded away now. Things have changed." - Tyler
"We get Jill and Nicole out," continued Tyler, "And get Amethyst and Freddi on our side. We're set."
David smiled, "Let's hope for that."
Meanwhile, Arlando and Ben were talking.
"Any ideas on the vote tonight?" asked Ben.
"Question is," said Arlando, "How many more swimming challenges will there be? I mean, we had one for the reward challenge."
"Good point." noted Ben.
"Ar and I were talking about the fishy threat, that is Freddi Fish. I see Amethyst as a bigger threat, but Freddi is just a swimming queen. She has to go, in order for any more of us to have a shot at winning those types of challenges." - Ben
"So," said Ben, "I take it that you want Freddi out tonight?"
Arlando nodded, "Hell yeah, man. Just as long as Tyler and David stick with us, she's done in."
"Cool." said Ben calmly, "I'm, uh, gonna tell Jada and Jill."
He left.
Meanwhile, Nicole went to go talk to Tyler.
"Hey Tyler," she asked, "Could we speak for a while?"
Tyler shrugged, and went on over to her, "Sure, what's up?"
"I've been thinking," said Nicole, "And I would love it, if you voted Jill out tonight."
"Why?" asked Tyler.
"She's been talking with the alliance of Arlando, Ben, and Jada," replied Nicole, "And I'm worried that she's established a deal with them."
"Nicole told me that Jill was talking with the Favorites, and possibly getting into a 4-way alliance." - Tyler
"Really?" asked Tyler.
Nicole nodded, "Dead honest. I heard it from Amethyst."
Tyler nodded, and left the area.
"I pray to god that Tyler believed me, cause if he didn't, then either me, Amethyst, or Freddi is going home tonight." - Nicole
As they left for tribal, Tyler was worried about how he'd vote.
"I could vote with the majority, and get rid of one of Nicole's alliance, or take the risk, and boot Jill. I just hope that Nicole is right." - Tyler
– – – – –
The Foxhound tribe entered tribal council.
"We'll bring in the first member of the jury."
"Timmy, voted out last tribal council."
Timmy was wearing a blue t-shirt and brown khaki pants.
"So after the huge Survivor feast, you get back to camp, and hopefully there was a huge day. Freddi, was it a huge day?" asked Jeff.
"Indeed so. Alliances are trying to figure out new loopholes in other alliances, and, it's all crazy. I just hope the craziness doesn't cost me." replied Freddi.
"Amethyst, with there being a 5-4 advantage for the Favorites, will a fan be sent home tonight?" asked Jeff.
"I hope so. Although, it's not Fans vs. Favorites here. Oh no. It's all over the board on the Foxhound tribe, to be honest." replied Amethyst.
"Jada, do you hope a fan goes home tonight?" asked Jeff.
"All I care about is that I don't get voted out, or my friends." replied Jada.
"Tyler, are you worried tonight." asked Jeff.
"Safety wise, no. When I get back to camp, yes. I'm not sure how people will respect my vote after it's casted. But, what's said is done, you know?" replied Tyler.
"Arlando, will there be shock?" asked Jeff.
Arlando shook his head.
"Doubt it." replied Arlando.
"Ok, it's time to vote, Tyler, your up."
– – –
Amethyst's Vote: Sorry, Jill, but your our only hope to stay now. (Jill)
Arlando's Vote: You scare me in those swimming challenges. I like you, but you have to go tonight. (Freddi)
Ben's Vote: Nothing personal, my fishy friend, it's a game, and uh, I have to play it. See ya. (Freddi)
Nicole's Vote: I hope Tyler and David vote you tonight, because we're here to play! (Jill)
Tyler's Vote: This decision was based on what I think would benefit my game the most. No one else's. (?)
– – –
"If anyone has the hidden immunity idol and you want to play it, nows the time to do so."
No one did anything.
"Ok. 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, Freddi. (She nodded.)
…
Freddi. Two votes Freddi.
…
Jill. One vote Jill. (Arlando raised an eyebrow)
…
…
Jill. Tied two votes Jill, two votes Freddi. (Jill was worried now.)
…
Jill. Three votes Jill, two votes Freddi.
…
…
Freddi. Tied again, three votes Freddi, three votes Jill. (Everyones hearts were beating.)
…
…
Freddi. Four votes Freddi, three votes Jill. (Nicole looked on over at Tyler.)
…
…
…
…
Jill. Tied once again. Four votes Jill, four votes Freddi. (Arlando was sort of shocked. As was Ben, Jada, and Jill. Nicole smiled.)
Twelfth person voted out of Survivor Fans vs. Favorites, and the second member of our jury...
…
…
…
…
…
…
…
…
Jill. You need to hand me your torch.
Jill sighed, as she hugged Arlando, Ben, and Jada.
"Jill, the tribe has spoken."
He snuffed out her torch.
"Time for you to go."
Jill left without another word.
"Trust. It's a huge thing to worry about in this game. From what I gathered, there was a lot of trust involved in tonight's vote. Grab your torches and head on back. Good night."
– – – – –
Jill's Final Words
"I'm very upset at Tyler and David turning their backs on me this early! I mean, yeah I knew I would turn on them later, but not right now! I'm especially hurt by David, since he voted for me. I thought we had a great friendship... Guess that'll impact my choice at Final Tribal, huh?"
Sorry Laguzgirl13, you are the seventh fan eliminated. :(
Freddi – Jada, Jill, Ben, and Arlando
Jill – David, Nicole, Freddi, Tyler, and Amethyst
Also, could you guys do me a favor (only if you've read the other seasons)
Could you rank all 8 winners from Best to Worst? (Curtis, Beat, Andrew, Squall, Ryo, Samantha, Eevee, and Robert)
I'm also putting up a poll version of this question on my page.
