Previously on, Survivor,

Tyler and David weren't looking good, since their ally Timmy was voted out, and Jill was also turning her backs on them. She instead joined the Favorites.

Ben tried to keep the spotlight off the Favorites by talking with Tyler and David about voting out either Amethyst or Freddi at the next tribal council.

The group of Nicole, Tyler, Freddi, and Amethyst won the reward challenge. David wasn't selected to be on a team, and was instead sent to Exile Island.

At the reward, the 4 winners were glad to be hanging out with past contestants from Survivor past.

Back at camp, the alliance of Arlando, Ben, Jada, and Jill bonded while the other 5 were away.

When the winners returned to camp, Nicole, Amethyst, and Freddi decided that Jill was the easiest next target, since they knew she was playing 2 sides of the field; with Arlando/Ben/Jada and David/Tyler. They were gonna work the David/Tyler duo into blindsiding her.

At the immunity challenge, Ben hung in there the longest, and won immunity.

Before tribal council, Arlando and Ben agreed to vote out Freddi at the next tribal council, and they hoped Tyler and David went with them. But Nicole's alliance was working as well, they tried to work David and Tyler on their side.

At tribal council, David and Tyler sided with Nicole, and Jill was blindsided. She joined Timmy on the jury. 8 are left, who'll be voted out tonight?

Final 8: Amethyst, Arlando, Ben, David, Freddi, Jada, Nicole, and Tyler

Jury: Timmy and Jill

Foxhound Day 28

Ben and Arlando were talking after the vote.

"Dang," sighed Ben, "We got played hard."

Arlando shook his head, "Tyler's a moron. Once you, me, and Jade are gone, he's next. Nicole's alliance will be going to the Top 3."

"Tyler and David should've stuck with us, because now, their screwed. Granted, they were screwed either way they went, but still. Now it's a given fact. They ARE screwed." - Arlando

Ben nodded, "I'm gonna try to work my magic on them again, and get them on the path we are on. Otherwise, Nicole, Amethyst, and Freddi will be the Final 3."

Arlando nodded, "Just do your best, man. Cause I know I'm going first from our alliance."

Ben sighed.

"Being on the oust, I've been there before. Let me tell you, it's not good. But, I've been able to weasel my way from being 13th place, to 7th place in Green Hill. So, hey, I'm good at convincing people to keep me." - Ben

Couple minutes later, Ben went to go talk with Tyler and David.

"Hey you two," greeted Ben, "Could we speak?"

"Sure." smiled David. With that said, the 3 of them walked off to the beach.

"What's on your mind Ben?" asked Tyler.

Ben started, "Listen, your move last night was just stupid. Freddi should be at the jury house, not Jill."

"That's because Jill was on your alliance," reminded Tyler, "Of course you'd say that."

"Yeah, but," sighed Ben, "Those three girls, do NOT deserve to win this season of Survivor, and you know what? You just forced one of them the win."

"What makes you think that?" asked David.

"Once me, Arlando, and Jada are gone," explained Ben, "Nicole is obviously gonna turn on you two, and side with the two Favorites left. Boom."

"Ben gave us some insider information that, uh, we screwed up by voting out Jill. I don't think that's true, I think me and Tyler made the right choice, and uh, it'll benefit us in the long run." - David

Tyler nodded, "Thanks for the tips, Ben."

Ben nodded, "No problem."

"Do I think they bought it? Absolutely not. They're being retards. Fine. Fine! Let them go home fifth, because quite frankly, one of those girls DO deserve to win over those clowns!" - Ben

– – – – –

Foxhound Day 28

Ben returned to Arlando and Jada.

"What'd they say?" asked Arlando.

Ben shrugged, "Pack your bags, guys. Because they are just retarded, and uh, they don't understand the situation that they'll be in. Come Final 5, they're #$%#ed."

"I thought we would have a chance, but unfortunately we don't. According to Ben, all we can do to just watch as our ship goes down, and then watch Tyler and David's ship follow suit." - Jada

"Those three girls," continued Ben, "Flew under the radar, and they were supposed to be the first three to go, well guess what? They'll be the Final 3! Tyler is a moron, David is a moron. Had they voted out Freddi, then the winner of this season would of been a deserving one! GAH!"

"Ben, calm down," soother Jada, "Maybe there still could be a way out of this."

"Yeah man," replied Arlando, "I mean, all we have left in our control is going to Nicole's alliance."

"There's only one last card my alliance can play. That card is laying in the hands of Nicole, Amethyst, and Freddi. If we can get them to turn on Tyler and David, perhaps we'll have a fighting chance to stay." - Arlando

Ben sighed, "I guess your right. But, still, I think we're #%$#ed."

Meanwhile, Amethyst and Freddi were talking.

"I think Nicole has too much power," noted Amethyst.

Freddi was confused, "What makes you think that?"

"She has the biggest chances of winning over you and me," explained Amethyst, "I think it'd be best if we blindside her next tribal."

"Ever since the merge, I've been suspicious of Nicole. I think she'll side with the 2 other Fans once Arlando, Ben, and Jada are all gone. I want to make the Finals this time, so she might have to go soon." - Amethyst

"I've been worrying about that too," said Freddi, "I do agree with you on the fact that she could beat us in the end."

"That is why she might have to go, soon." finished Amethyst.

Freddi thought about it, "I think I can work Tyler and David onto our side, and perhaps we can vote Nicole out at Final 5?"

Amethyst shrugged, "I don't know. For now, that sounds good for me."

"Nicole is a very likable girl, and because of that, she stands a great chance to win the game, and the million dollars. It sucks, but we might have to blindside her." - Freddi

– – – – –

"Come on in guys!"

The survivors entered the challenge area.

"Welcome to the Survivor Auction. If you see something you like, you may take it!"

Everyone nodded excitedly.

"Each of you have $500 bucks. You may not share food at all, nor may you give money to another survivor. Let's get started!"

Jeff pulled out a covered item.

"It'll remain covered."

"200 sounds good here." smiled David.

"200 to David. Seems pretty high."

David shrugged.

"Very well, sold to David for 200 bucks."

Jeff lifted the lid, and it was grilled chicken with diet coke.

David smiled, "Oh yeah baby!"

Jeff then revealed another hidden item.

"Next item!"

"120!" called Jada.

"140!" called Tyler.

"160!" called Jada.

"180!" called Tyler.

"180 to Tyler. No more takers?"

"200?" called Arlando. No one else took it.

"Once, twice, sold to Arlando for 200 bucks."

Jeff revealed what it was; a Big Mac from McDonalds.

"Awesome, dude." smirked Arlando.

Jeff then revealed the next item.

"Covered up, again."

"180!" called Freddi.

"Uh, 200!" called Ben.

"220!" called Freddi.

No one else took another bid.

"Once, twice, sold to Freddi for 220 dollars."

Jeff revealed a sealed note.

"Please read this out loud."

Freddi did so, "Send one person to Exile Island, and take all of their money."

Freddi thought about it.

"I'll send Ben." she said.

Ben sighed, and gave up all of his money to Freddi. None of which he spent.

Ben then took his stuff to Exile.

"Ben will return for the immunity challenge."

Jeff pointed at the next item, which was behind him.

"Right there, is a functional shower. It's nice to have a shower after 28 days out here, right?"

Jada shrugged, "I'll take it. 300?"

"Wow! 300? Is there anything higher?"

"320!" called Nicole.

"340!" called Tyler.

"360!" called Jada.

"No more takers? Ok. Sold to Jada for 360 dollars. Enjoy."

Jada went over to the shower, and began to take one. Pretty much most of the boys took their time watching.

Jeff revealed the next item.

"Time for something large. How about 10 donuts?"

"I call 200 on those!" called Tyler

"260!" called David, giving a larger increase to the bid.

No one else took another bid.

"Once, twice, sold to David for 260!"

David took the donuts, and turned around.

"Everyone want a donut?," asked David kindly.

Everyone smiled, and nodded. David handed out each Survivor a donut.

Jeff revealed the last item; cheesecake.

"240!" called Amethyst.

"260!" called Tyler.

"260 to Tyler."

"Actually, I'll recall. 280!" recalled Tyler.

"300!" called Amethyst.

"320!" called Nicole.

"340!" called Amethyst.

No one else bid on it.

"Once, twice, sold to Amethyst for 340 dollars."

Amethyst took the cake, and dug into it.

"That's it. The auction is over! You all can head back to camp. I'll see you all tomorrow for the immunity challenge."

Exile Island Night 28

Ben grabbed his first clue from the box, and began searching all over the island.

"This is life or death for my alliance. If I don't find his idol, we're #$%#ed!" - Ben

Ben searched through the trees.

Ben searched under the sand by the beach.

Ben searched underneath floorboards in the hut.

But he couldn't find the idol.

"Dammit." cursed Ben.

– – – – –

Foxhound Day 29

David and Freddi were hanging out in the water.

"So, how's life?" asked David.

"Not bad," smiled Freddi, "I mean, I'm enjoying myself out here in the Marshall Islands."

"Freddi Fish was my childhood, and it's kind of freaky, actually seeing her out in the game, the game that I'M playing. Is this a dream?" - David

"Yeah, I know," smiled David, "I'm also enjoying it out here. It's beautiful."

"Don't you wish you could spend it with someone you love?" asked Freddi.

David shrugged, "I guess so."

"I like David, he's a calm collected guy, and he's also smart. This is why he is needed to help me and Amethyst take down Nicole. Now Tyler, eh, not so smart. David, yes. But them combined, can change this game." - Freddi

Freddi changed the subject, "But, uh, nevermind. I wanted to ask you something."

"Sure." smiled David, "What is it?"

"Me and Amethyst do not trust Nicole," explained Freddi, "And we were wondering if you would like to take her out at Final 5?"

David thought about it, "That wouldn't be a bad move. I'd actually like to see me, you, Amethyst, and Tyler in the Final 4."

Freddi smiled, "Then you have a deal!"

They shook hands.

"I made a deal with Freddi, and uh, can't say that I'm not excited, cause I am! This might prove Ben wrong. Me and Tyler CAN pull this off, AND win a million bucks." - David

Meanwhile, Arlando, Nicole, and Jada were talking.

"Think about it," said Arlando, "I don't trust David or Tyler. Hell, David's a blackjack dealer. Isn't that a threat?"

Nicole nodded, "Yeah, I know. He's good at catching lies."

"Right now, me and Jada are trying to get Nicole to side with us, and split up David and Tyler. I don't trust those two, I never have, and I never will. They are just too stupid." - Arlando

"Another thing," added Jada, "They've both been to Exile once. They could find the idol."

"Pssh, c'mon Jada," chuckled Arlando, "It's only one day for the both of them. I doubt they would have it."

"Remember Squall and Dongwa?" said Jada.

Arlando pouted, "I never watched Reals vs. OCs..."

"Arlando and Jada are really pushing for me to side with them, and take out Tyler or David. Problem is, will Freddi and Amethyst go for that. Remember, I'm not only thinking for myself, but also my allies." - Nicole

"Anyway," said Nicole, "You make compelling offers. I'll think about it."

"I hope Nicole sides with us, because we were screwed over, so we want to screw over the ones who screwed us." - Jada

– – – – –

Foxhound Day 29

Tyler and David were talking.

"I made a deal with Freddi," said David.

"What did she want?" asked Tyler.

"I told Tyler about my deal with Freddi, and how we can make the Final 5, and vote Nicole out at 5." - David

Tyler nodded, "That actually sounds good, you know? I mean, that'll give us a chance to prove to Ben that we can beat the girls."

David nodded, "I know, right?"

"Yesterday, Ben told me and David that we just #$%%ed up, and gave the win to Amethyst, Freddi, or Nicole. I think that with this plan, me and David have a fair shot as well." - Tyler

They shook hands.

"We're together to the end, man." smiled Tyler.

"I know, dude." smirked David.

"Tyler and I make a formidable duo. I thought I couldn't trust Tyler on Day 2, but now I do. He's all I got right now. If I refuse to trust him, I could be gone." - David

Meanwhile, Nicole and Amethyst were talking.

"Freddi just confirmed a deal with David," said Amethyst, "I think the next tribal will be easy."

Nicole nodded, "It's between Ben or Arlando. I would choose Ben, since he's the leader of that alliance. But, then again, Arlando's just as big a threat."

"Arlando is the biggest threat remaining in the game. Right now, it's between him and Ben for the next boot. I'm not sure at the moment." - Nicole

"Think about it, Nicole," said Amethyst, "Perhaps Ben could find the idol, and blindside one of us."

"Then we might have to throw a vote on Arlando, then. He is the strongest, as it is." sighed Nicole.

"Right now, Arlando, Ben, and Jada are on the oust. Basically they are the next three to go home. I just hope Ben never found the idol, or our plans are ruined." - Amethyst

– – – – –

"Come on in guys!"

The Foxhound tribe entered the challenge area.

"We'll bring in Ben, returning from Exile Island."

Ben came in, and rejoined his tribe.

"Guys ready for today's immunity challenge?"

Everyone nodded.

"I'll take back immunity from you Ben."

Ben did so.

"For today's challenge, it'll be divided into 2 parts. The first part, you must throw rocks at your colored tiles. You get a unlimited amount of throws, and turns. The first 4 to clear this stage, move onto the final round. In the final round, you must complete this tiki puzzle. Connect the 6 pieces of the tiki in the correct order. First person to clear that stage, wins immunity. Let's get started."

Everyone got ready for the challenge.

"Survivors ready? GO!"

Ben, Jada, and Nicole went on a throwing spree of rocks. Rocks were catapulting rapidly at the tiles.

Arlando and David had very little accuracy with their throws, even though David got more tiles hit then Arlando.

Amethyst, Freddi, and Tyler were at a steady pace, and kept it.

"Ben, Jada, and Nicole smashed all of their tiles, their moving onto the next round. We're waiting on one more..."

It was between Amethyst and Tyler for the last spot...

"Tyler connects! Tyler moving onto the next round!"

The Final Round was next, with Ben, Jada, Nicole, and Tyler.

"First one to complete their tiki puzzle wins immunity. Survivors ready? GO!"

Ben kept screwing up on the puzzle, which was odd, according to him.

Jada and Tyler were neck and neck with eachother, while Nicole took her precious time.

In the end, only one finished first...

"NICOLE WINS IMMUNITY!"

Everyone cheered for Nicole.

"Good job Nicole, you are safe from the vote. As for the other 7, one of you is going home tonight. See you at tribal council."

– – – – –

Foxhound Day 30

Arlando, Jada, and Ben were hanging out in the shelter.

"Find the idol, man?" asked Arlando.

Ben shook his head sadly.

"I'm sorry man, I #$%#ed up." sighed Ben.

Arlando patted his back, "No you didn't, Tyler did. If it weren't for him, we'd still be in control."

"(sighs) I don't know, man. We're screwed. I mean, sure we can try, but it's pointless now. We're gonna have to accept the fact that one of us is leaving tonight. Right now, I think, it's between me and Arlando." - Ben

Ben got up, "I'm gonna speak with Amethyst, real quick. We need to try to take Tyler out. Behind you, Ar, he's the biggest threat."

He left.

Jada turned to Arlando, "What do we do now?"

"Well, babe, just relax. You'll at least will still be here." sighed Arlando.

"Tonight, if I go home tonight, I won't be shocked. I'm the biggest guy here, and the oldest too, at 37. But, uh, yeah, I had a blast regardless of my placement. I really didn't think I would win this time anyway." - Arlando

Ben, meanwhile, was talking with Amethyst in the jungle.

"I want all the fans together again," planned Ben, "It's in our sights. Boom, boom, boom."

Amethyst nodded, "The fan I want out, is Nicole."

Ben was surprised, "Really? I thought you were her ally?"

"Yeah, but I don't trust her." noted Amethyst.

"Me neither." said Ben, playing along.

"Oh my god. This could be our saving grace tomorrow! Sure, we might have to lose one of my alliance, but if I stay, then this'll be perfect to use against Nicole, and maybe Amethyst." - Ben

"Would you be willing to vote for Tyler?" asked Ben.

Amethyst shrugged, "Maybe, but you have to give me a guarantee that your not writing anything else down."

Ben raised his hand, "I solemnly swear that I am not up to no good."

Amethyst giggled, "Very well then."

"Ben is such a clown. But still, I'm not voting Tyler. Not yet, at least." - Amethyst

Right before tribal council, Nicole and Freddi were thinking of the vote.

"Arlando or Ben?" asked Nicole.

"Ben might have the idol," warned Freddi, "So I'd say Arlando."

Nicole nodded, "Very well then. Arlando it is."

"Tonight, we're taking out Arlando. He's the strongest guy here, and with him gone I'm one step closer to the million!" - Nicole

– – – – –

The Foxhound tribe entered tribal council.

"We'll bring in the members of the jury."

"Timmy,"

Timmy was wearing a green t-shirt and blue jeans.

"And Jill, voted out last tribal council."

Jill was wearing a yellow tank top with Yoshi on it, and a matching skirt.

"We're at 5 Favorites, and 3 Fans. So far, you guys have said 'There's no Fans vs. Favorites in this tribe.' I don't buy that. Freddi, the last two votes have been Fans!" noted Jeff.

"That's just a coincidence. There is no Fans vs. Favorites. I think tonight's vote will prove that." replied Freddi.

"Amethyst, is that true, is tonight the last night for a Favorite?" asked Jeff.

"Could be. But it's up in the air right now." replied Amethyst.

Ben nodded.

"David, there is a possibility that tonight is your night?" asked Jeff.

David shook his head,

"No, I don't think so. I'm comfortable with my alliances and deals. I'm just sitting pretty right now." replied David.

Tyler gave him an odd look.

"Jada, worried that it could be you?" asked Jeff.

"If a Favorites goes tonight, it'll be either Arlando or Ben. Just saying." replied Jada.

Both Arlando and Ben nodded.

"It's true." said Ben.

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

– – –

Amethyst's Vote: Good job, you've made it 30 days. See you on the jury. (?)

Ben's Vote: You cost me, Ar, and Jade the game. Good luck. (Tyler)

Tyler's Vote: Arlando, you are the biggest threat, and by me sending you home, we remove that threat. (Arlando)

– – –

"If anyone has the hidden immunity idol and you want to play it, nows the time to do so."

People looked at Ben, but he didn't move.

"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, Arlando. (He nodded.)

Tyler. One vote Tyler, one vote Arlando.

Tyler. Two votes Tyler, one vote Arlando.

Tyler. Three votes Tyler, one vote Arlando. (Tyler nodded.)

Arlando. Two votes Arlando, three votes Tyler.

Arlando. Tied three votes Arlando, three votes Tyler.

Arlando. Four votes Arlando, three votes Tyler. (Arlando gathered his stuff.)

Thirteenth person voted out of Survivor Fans vs. Favorites, and the third member of our jury, Arlando. That's 5, enough for you. You need to hand me your torch.

Arlando hugged Jada and Ben goodbye, "Keep your eye on the prize, Favorites."

"Arlando, the tribe has spoken."

He snuffed out his torch.

"Time for you to go."

Arlando gave a 'Rock on' gesture to the rest, and left.

"Looks like you are right. No Fans vs. Favorites going on. It's strictly, Alliances vs. Alliances. We'll see which alliance ends up on top. Grab your torches, and head on back. Good night."

– – – – –

Arlando's Final Words

"What can I say? I'm not shocked that I'm sitting here right now. I wish I made it 9 more days, but uh, I did my best this time. I hope Ben and Jada can find their way out of the minority, and into the majority. There was a lot said tonight. Hopefully, Ben or Jada win this game. Rock on Survivor."

Arlando – David, Nicole, Freddi, Tyler, and Amethyst

Tyler – Jada, Ben, and Arlando

The next episode will be a double length entry. Two tribals in one episode.

This'll put the Finale at February 4th.
