Previously on, Survivor,
Despite Zola and Derpy being on the outside and with little possible, Zola still had plans. Since Jiro had her fake immunity idol, she was going to be making sure both his head and Duck's head ended up on the chopping block after the next vote. However, Duck had his suspicions on Zola's plan.
Meanwhile, Geno gave clues to the hidden immunity idol to Zaeed and Yuri, after Zaeed requested that they should get a second idol to go along with Judith's. Yuri, however, thought this was pointless, and planned to get the idol before Zaeed did, not trusting him with it.
Yuri eventually found the hidden immunity idol, and planned to keep it a secret.
At the reward challenge, the team of Zola, Judith, Geno, and Yuri won reward, and Zaeed was sent to Exile Island.
During the reward, Yuri showed Judith the idol, telling her that they had more power within their 4-man alliance. This made Judith a little weary of Yuri's game.
At the immunity challenge, Derpy defeated Geno to win individual immunity, placing Zola up for grabs at tribal council.
Before tribal council, Zola convinced Jiro and Duck to vote for Judith, believing the tie breaker would be rock pulling. Jiro would then play the idol on her, negating her votes, and sending Judith home. Zola knew this wouldn't happen, but in order to get their votes, she needed him to play the idol.
However, at tribal council, Duck announced to the rest of Volt that Jiro was about to make a dumb move by immediately trusting Zola with an idol that she just happened to give him. Duck tried to convince Jiro not to do it at the last minute.
Despite Duck's move, Jiro still sided with and played the idol on Zola. The idol was no good, being fake. Duck swapped his vote, and Zola became the second member of the jury. 7 are left, who'll be voted out tonight?
Final 7: Derpy, Duck, Geno, Jiro, Judith, Yuri, and Zaeed
Jury: Applejack and Zola
– – – – –
Sapphire Day 28
Jiro was very upset after the events of last night's tribal council.
"I really can't believe Zola tricked me like that. I haven't the slightest idea why she did what she did... but... I've pissed off Volt, and..." (sighs) "There's really nothing I can do about it.." - Jiro
Zaeed went straight up to Jiro, growling.
"What the hell was that?" he growled.
Jiro rolled his eyes, "I was tricked, Zaeed..."
"Like hell you were, traitor," yelled Zaeed, "You betrayed us!"
"Zola still went home though!" shouted Jiro back, "You got what you wanted!"
Zaeed pointed at Duck, "Because unlike you, Duck is loyal and wants to prevent you from being a moron!"
"Last night, I lost all respect for Jiro, and gained respect for Duck. Jiro has to be the biggest Survivor idiot ever, trusting Zola." - Zaeed
"I could care less about Derpy at this point," muttered Zaeed, "If I had my way, you'd be the next one out of here."
Jiro rolled his eyes, and left the camp area. Yuri and Geno walked up to Zaeed after he left.
"He's done in my book, men..." he grunted, "Derpy's not a threat at all. She doesn't have to go right away..."
"While what Jiro last night does show he can't be trusted, I still think we should vote Derpy out before him just to be safe. I mean, she DID win one immunity challenge, so..." - Yuri
Jiro and Duck were then talking in the maze area.
"How did you know...?" asked Jiro, looking to Duck.
Duck shrugged, "Well, I had a feeling Zola had something up her sleeve... that sudden giving of the idol? Way too fishy..."
"Last night, I tried to make sure Jiro did not give into Zola, because she was probably going to make him look like an idiot, and she succeeded. Now Jiro's got his head on the chopping block." - Duck
"I should've listened. I was too trusting to Zola, being a former ally of hers." muttered Jiro.
"Well..." Duck smiled, patting his back, "I still have your back, Jiro. We're going to make it through this, no matter what.."
Jiro gave a slight smile back.
"With Zaeed after my neck, I'm going to have to win the immunity challenge, because honestly, I have no idea what he, Geno, or Yuri are going to do, now that I'm considered a traitor." - Jiro
– – – – –
Sapphire Day 28
Later in the day, Judith and Zaeed were talking.
"Have you considered anything for the end game?" asked Judith.
Zaeed shrugged, "Yeah, I have. So many choices as this point, actually."
"I'm planning ahead right now, for when the Final 4 comes along. I want to take Zaeed to the Final 2. Compared to Geno or Yuri, I have better chances against him then those two. While I agreed to take Yuri to the end, it won't be a happy ending when he gets more jury votes." - Judith
"I think," suggested Judith, "You and I should be the Top 2. Both Yuri and Geno have played good social games. They'll win a jury over either one of us."
Zaeed grunted a little, not responding.
Judith continued talking, "I sided against the ladies, and you... well... I'm just gonna say your social game isn't good."
"You... you have a point.." grunted Zaeed.
"Judith and I spoke a little, and she wants to take me to the end, and take out Geno and Yuri at the Final 4 and 3. Damn it. Yuri's been my main man from the beginning." - Zaeed
"We'll vote Geno at 4, and then hopefully you or I will win the final immunity challenge," explained Judith, "And after that, you and I will be the last two."
Zaeed nodded, "Give me some time to think about it. This is a big decision, honestly."
"Judith was meant to be out at 4, but this changes things... perhaps it would be good for me to go with Judith over Yuri. Agh... I can't god damn decide..." - Zaeed
Meanwhile, Duck and Derpy were out in a maze area talking.
"In all honesty, do you want to stay in this game?" asked Duck.
Derpy nodded.
"You need to work with me and Jiro. Find a real hidden idol, and then take control of the game." explained Duck.
"Derpy's alone, and I know she was a pawn in Zola's plans just by assumption. That said, getting her on my side with Jiro might help. First though, we need that immunity idol." - Duck
"But we don't have numbers!" replied Derpy, frowning.
"That's what I'm saying, Derpy," sighed Duck, "We get the idol, save one of us, and then it's 3 against 3."
Derpy got it then, and nodded, "Oh."
"Duck approached me about siding with him and Jiro. I don't think it'll work. We're not strong enough to take out those four!" - Derpy
– – – – –
"Come on in guys!"
The remaining survivors entered the challenge area.
"Guys ready for today's reward challenge?"
Everyone nodded, excitedly.
"For today's challenge, you will be asked questions about your fellow tribe members. The idea here is to find out how you really feel about eachother. Once you have all answered those questions, I'll ask you them again, but I want you to answer based on what the tribe said. If you answer the majority, you score a point. Tribe member with the most points, wins reward."
"For your reward, you will leave here, and be taken out of the Forest Maze, to Tadpole Pond. There, you will relax in the waters and enjoy a fresh meal of fruit."
Jeff handed each competitor a board with the questions and they answered them in silence. After they were done, they handed them back to Jeff.
"Okay, first question, who has the worst strategy?"
Judith said Derpy.
Duck, Jiro, Yuri, and Zaeed said Jiro.
Derpy and Geno said Zaeed.
"Correct answer was Jiro. Duck, Yuri, Zaeed, and even Jiro all score a point. Next question, who here is the most honest?"
Duck, Jiro, and Judith said Duck.
Derpy and Yuri said Geno.
Geno and Zaeed said Yuri.
"Correct answer was Yuri. Only Geno and Zaeed score that round. Zaeed leads with 2 points. Next question, who here is the brightest in terms of intelligence?"
Duck, Judith, Yuri, and Zaeed said Geno.
Derpy, Geno, and Jiro said Yuri.
"Correct answer was Geno. Duck, Yuri, Zaeed, and Judith score a point. Zaeed still leads with 3 points, Yuri and Duck have 2 points, Geno, Judith, and Jiro have 1 point, and Derpy isn't on the board yet. Next question, who do you think is the strongest remaining player?"
Everyone answered Zaeed.
"Everyone is wrong. The group thought Yuri was the strongest player. Next question, who cannot be trusted?"
Derpy, Duck, and Zaeed said Derpy.
Jiro, Judith, and Yuri said Jiro.
Geno said Judith.
"Jiro was the right answer. Judith and Yuri score along with Jiro. Yuri ties with Zaeed with 3 points. 2 questions left. Next question, who is the most loyal player left?"
Derpy, Geno, and Yuri say Duck.
Duck, Jiro, Judith, and Zaeed say Yuri.
"Yuri is the correct answer. Here's where we stand. Zaeed leads 4 points. If he gets this right, he wins reward. Duck, Jiro, Judith, and Yuri are behind with 3 points. We could go to tie breaker. Last question, who never shuts up?"
Derpy, Duck, Judith, Yuri, and Zaeed said Derpy.
Geno and Jiro said Zaeed.
"Zaeed is the correct answer. Which means, we do have a tie. 4 points for both Jiro and Zaeed."
Jiro nodded, wanting to prove something to Zaeed.
"For the tiebreaker question, how many total votes have been cast this entire game?"
Jiro wrote 60.
Zaeed wrote 64.
"The correct answer..."
…
…
…
…
"74 votes total. Zaeed's is the closet. ZAEED WINS REWARD!"
Everyone clapped and cheered for Zaeed.
"Well done, Zaeed. You've won reward. You get to take 2 people with you on this reward. Who will they be?"
"Such an easy choice, honestly... Yuri and Geno!" replied Zaeed.
Both Yuri and Geno smiled, and joined up with Zaeed.
"Now, who will you said to Exile Island?"
Zaeed looked over his options.
"Gonna have to send Judith." answered Zaeed.
Judith nodded, not minding the decision, taking a map from Jeff, and leaving.
"Judith will be back in time for the immunity challenge. You three enjoy yourselves at Tadpole Pond. As for Derpy, Jiro, and Duck, nothing for you. Grab your things, and return to camp."
– – – – –
Exile Island Night 28
Judith strolled into camp, flipping her bangs back a little, smiling.
"Back at Exile Island, nothing special. But Zaeed had good reasons for putting me here, I mean, having the idol and all helps, doesn't it?" - Judith
Having nothing really else to do, Judith laid around the whole rest of the time, not really caring much.
– – – – –
Reward Day 29
Upon arriving at Tadpole Pond, Geno, Yuri, and Zaeed watched all the tadpoles and frogs hop and swim around.
"What a sight to be seen." smiled Geno, watching them.
Zaeed nodded, "You got that right. To the Final 3?"
Both Yuri and Geno nodded, "Final 3."
"We say Final 3, but I'm not gonna go through with it. I want to take Judy to the end just so I can beat her in the end. I could take Zaeed for the same effect, but I promised Judy I would take her no matter what." - Yuri
"Zaeed was right about Jiro," noted Geno, "Derpy, while a Mossono member, is useless. Keeping Jiro can backfire on us, and that will suck."
Yuri nodded his head.
"God damn right, Geno." agreed Zaeed.
Yuri spoke up, "But still, Derpy can win competitions, and if we keep her, she could go on a streak that none of us could see coming."
"Right now, my alliance has all the power. Doesn't matter who gets immunity next, we can vote out anyone we want; be it Duck, Derpy, or Jiro." - Zaeed
Geno handed out apples and strawberries to Yuri and Zaeed, "We'll have to see after the immunity challenge, then we can finalize on a decision."
Both of them nodded, and munched on the fruit.
– – – – –
Sapphire Day 29
With the opposing alliance gone for the day, Duck and Jiro agreed that looking for the idol was the top priority at the moment.
They left Derpy to sleep in the shelter, and then they snuck into the maze area.
"We found one idol together," noted Jiro, "Let's find another one, shall we?"
Duck smirked, "Already on it!"
"We're 3 against 4 right now, if we can't find an idol, we're gonna be voted out one by one. Jiro made a bold move, and I think he lowered us on the totem pole. I'm not that happy about it, but it's just another obstacle for me to overcome." - Duck
Duck and Jiro started to frantically search for the hidden immunity idol...
…
...searching through trees...
…
…
...digging through the dirt...
…
…
…
…but nothing could be found. They didn't know that the only two hidden immunity idols were already found.
"Dammit..." grunted Jiro, "We're never gonna find them..."
Duck looked to Jiro, "Guess we'll need another plan."
"The fact that the hidden immunity idol isn't in play, that has to mean someone has it.. But who?" - Jiro
– – – – –
"Come on in guys!"
The remaining survivors entered the challenge area.
"We'll now bring in Judith, returning from Exile Island, and Geno, Zaeed, and Yuri, returning from their reward."
The aforementioned survivors joined up with the others on their mat.
"Guys ready for today's immunity challenge?"
Everyone nodded excitedly.
"I'll take back immunity from you, Derpy."
Derpy did so.
"For today's challenge, you will be using a grappling hook to retrieve 3 bags of puzzle pieces. Once you have all 3 bags, complete the puzzle. First 3 to finish move onto the final round. In the final round you will navigate a ball through a rotating labyrinth maze. First one to finish that, wins immunity, and guaranteed a 1 in 6 shot at being the Sole Survivor. Let's get started."
Everyone got ready.
"Survivors ready? GO!"
Everyone started to throw out their hooks out rapidly, trying to best one another in the competition. Geno and Derpy were doing the worst, while Duck was pulling in bag after bag of puzzle pieces.
Eventually, Duck was able to drag in all 3 bags, and he got straight to work on the puzzle. Derpy soon got the hang of it, but Geno kept screwing up with his throws. Zaeed, Jiro, and Yuri were doing exceptionally well, while Judith was a little ways behind.
Zaeed and Yuri dragged in their final bag, and got to work on the puzzle, followed by Jiro. Duck, meanwhile, had finished.
"Duck is moving on to the final round!"
It seemed to be between Jiro, Yuri, and Zaeed for the final 2 spots in the final round...
…
…
…
"The final round is Duck! Jiro! Zaeed!"
The other 4 survivors took a seat on the bench near Jeff.
Jeff: In the final round, you will navigate your colored ball through the maze. First to finish is safe tonight at the vote. Survivors ready? Go!
All three survivors started doing the maze. Duck, again, seemed to be doing the best out of all three. Jiro kept looking over, and losing focus, trying to stay ahead of Zaeed, but making sure he didn't beat Duck, cause Zaeed was right on his tail.
In the end...
…
…
…
…
…
Duck smashed through the exit, just before Zaeed did. It was very close.
"DUCK WINS IMMUNITY!"
Everyone clapped and cheered for Duck.
"Duck, tonight, you, my friend, are safe tonight at the vote. As for the others, one of you will be voted off, and sent to the jury. See you all later tonight."
– – – – –
Sapphire Day 30
Derpy, Jiro, and Duck were talking in one of the maze areas. Duck had a new plan in store.
"We're 3 and 4," explained Duck, "But I think we can still get them to vote off Zaeed."
Jiro blinked, "How so?"
"I'm immune tonight, so I don't have to worry about the blinds being thrown over me, but I do have to worry about Jiro possibly getting the boot." - Duck
"We try and convince Yuri, Geno, and Judith that Zaeed might have the hidden immunity idol," suggested Duck, "We couldn't find it when everyone was away, so it has to be in someone's bag. We want Zaeed out, right? Let's just say he has it?"
Derpy smiled, "This could actually work!"
"Oh boy! I thought I was dead in the water today, but Duck came up with a brilliant scheme, and if it works out, I'm safe! Wooo!" - Derpy
"I'll go talk with Geno," nodded Jiro.
Duck smiled, "And I'll handle Yuri and Judith. Derpy, I sadly suggest you try and make it seem like you're sad that you're leaving for now. I don't want anyone suspecting a thing."
Derpy nodded, saluting. "Got it!"
"This has to work, it just has to. If someone has the idol, they need to go home before it can do anything to screw up my game, or someone else's game. Sure, Zaeed might not have the idol, but he might. He's been to Exile Island more then once." - Duck
A little while later, Jiro and Geno were talking in the shelter.
"I'm frankly a little worried about Zaeed." said Jiro, turning to Geno.
Geno looked over at Jiro curiously, raising an eyebrow, "How so?"
"Call me crazy, but I tried searching for the idol yesterday, but I couldn't find it. Makes me believe someone has it." said Jiro.
Geno tilted his head, a little shocked to hear that.
"Well, I know Judith has an idol, but... Zaeed having one? Doesn't really make much sense for him to have one, since our alliance has one already." - Geno
"If he does have it," explained Jiro, "We need to vote him off tonight. Better him being sent home then having it and using it to blindside you later on, right?"
Geno nodded, "You have a point."
"Thing is, I trust Zaeed strangely enough for him to come to me telling me he found the hidden immunity idol. Jiro has a good point, but at this stage, I rather stick with Zaeed then turn on him." - Geno
After Jiro and Geno were done talking, Geno left to go speak with Zaeed in another maze area.
"Jiro's trying to get rid of you tonight," said Geno, "He believes you have the idol."
Zaeed grunted, not at all surprised, "Well, that bloody bastard. Can't say I'm shocked, really. What a traitor."
"Jiro is a traitor to Volt. At least Duck has some brains in him. I don't have a god damn idol; Judy does, and we trust her to use it with care." - Zaeed
"He's done tonight, I'll tell you that." replied Zaeed, shaking his head.
Geno shrugged, "I dunno. I rather vote Derpy off, keep Volt strong. I know Jiro turned on us, but it makes more sense to vote Derpy off over Jiro."
"It's what Yuri wants, really," sighed Zaeed, "We still need to plan."
"Anything can happen at this point. Derpy or Jiro can go home, really. We have to decide on the person that will not help us in the end, nor get us closer. That exact player will be voted off tonight." - Zaeed
After a whole day of strategizing, Duck was thinking to himself about how things were gonna go.
"So I did my little share of talking with Yuri and Judith and whatnot, and... I'm not convinced my plan is going to work. Jiro seems quite confident that it will, but... ughh.. I'm not sure." - Duck
– – – – –
The Sapphire tribe entered tribal council.
"We'll bring in the members of the jury."
"Applejack,"
Applejack trotted in wearing her usual cowboy hat, nothing too fancy.
"And Zola, voted out at the last tribal council."
Zola was wearing a black bandana around her head, and for clothes she was wearing a black jacket with blue jeans.
"So far, from what it seems, the men have completely dominated and eliminated each and every woman so far. Zaeed, will tonight be no different?" asked Jeff.
"Jeff, let me just say things will change starting tonight. I'm not gonna $#%# around no more. You're either with my alliance, or against my alliance, in my eyes." repled Zaeed.
"Geno, makes it seem a little nerve wrecking if you're not on Zaeed's good side, it seems." noted Jeff.
"A lot of people have seen what Zaeed's bad side is like, and let me tell you, it's not that pretty. He's intimidating, to be honest. But I'm not afraid of him." replied Geno.
Zaeed chuckled a little, smirking.
"Judith, how do you think you're doing, since returning to the game?" asked Jeff.
"I feel like I'm doing well. I've got a good game plan, and I don't see that changing, even if I end up as the last remaining woman." replied Judith.
"Derpy, if it's you tonight, will you be proud of how you played?" asked Jeff.
Derpy nodded.
"Yup! I will be! But it's not over until you put my torch out with that snuffer of yours!" replied Derpy.
"Okay, it's time to vote, Yuri, you're up."
– – –
Duck's Vote: (looks at the parchment, before writing a name down.) (?)
Jiro's Vote: You really are a douchebag, and I hope you go home. (Zaeed)
Yuri's Vote: Nothing personal, but it has to be done, unfortunately. (?)
– – –
"If anybody has a hidden immunity idol and you would like to play it, now is the time to do so."
No one did anything.
"Okay, 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, Zaeed. (He nodded.)
…
…
Zaeed. Two votes Zaeed. (He sneered at Jiro, annoyed.)
…
…
…
….
Derpy. One vote Derpy.
…
…
Derpy. Tied, two votes Derpy, two votes Zaeed. (She frowned, looking down.)
…
Derpy. Three votes Derpy, two votes Zaeed.
…
Eleventh person voted out of Survivor Forest Maze, and the third member of our jury, Derpy. 4 is enough, you need to hand me your torch.
Derpy frowned, going around and patting everyone on the head, before giving her torch up. "Oh well.. have fun!"
"Derpy, the tribe has spoken."
He snuffed out her torch.
"Time for you to go."
Derpy waved her hoof goodbye before leaving.
"Yet another girl is out of the game, and from what I see, it's gonna get interesting. If Judith isn't in trouble, then it looks like Volt will begin to eat eachother up. Grab your torches, and head on out. Good night."
– – – – –
Derpy's Final Words
"Duck and Jiro's plan to blindside Zaeed clearly went up in flames, and I'm the victim in the end. I sort of expected it to be me anyway, so I'm not upset. At least I'll be able to see my friends again on the jury as I get to decide who walks away with the million dollars!"
VOTE
Derpy – Zaeed, Judith, Yuri, Duck, and Geno
Zaeed – Jiro and Derpy
I need to be more... up to date with updating . Honestly, this will be hopefully the last time I stray away from this project. I want to finish this, start on Season 15, do a final all star season, and move onto another project. ^^
3 more episodes to go; Final 6, Final 5, and then the Finale. Who will be in the Final 4? Do Duck and Jiro even have a shot to stay? Will the multiple F2 deals amongst Geno, Judith, Yuri, and Zaeed be revealed? What do you think should happen? :0
