Episode 12
The Time Has Come
Previously on… Survivor…
Silver and Sabrina held an epic battle at Redemption Island:
The two Pokémon tackle each other, rolling around the battlefield. Finally, they break free, and one of them falls over to faint, while the other one barely stays on its feet.
Sabrina won the battle, knocking out Silver. Because Silver was eliminated, Jasmine chose not to battle Giselle but instead to quit the game immediately:
"I refuse to go on!" Jasmine shouts. "I'm going out with Silver!"
"You mean to tell me that you're totally quitting this game?"
"That's right! I forfeit my battle against Giselle!"
With a numerical disadvantage, the Johto trainers knew they had to win immunity, and Whitney did just that:
"Whitney… keeps her balls balanced! Janine drops one! And with that, Whitney… wins immunity!"
This made it an obvious choice for the others to vote out Janine. When Whitney won immunity again, the "Evil Three" turned on their alliance mate Roxanne, even after Whitney made a plea for Karen to vote out Cynthia:
"Since I am not at risk tonight, I have the power to suggest whoever I want to vote out. And I suggest that you, Karen, join myself and Roxanne in voting off Cynthia tonight."
But it was not to be, as Karen stayed loyal to Cynthia and voted out Roxanne. Now there are as many at Redemption Island as there are in the game itself. Who will be voted out tonight?
Day 34
Orange Tribe
(Cynthia, Karen, Lucian, Whitney)
Cynthia seems very pleased with the current situation, as she calls Lucian and Karen over to her.
"We've accomplished all we can for the moment," she states. "But now we must assume Sabrina will return to this game, and we must act swiftly to remove her once more."
"What if she does not return to the game, my queen?" Lucian asks.
"Then we make sure not to allow any alliance to stand up against us," Cynthia replies. "Either way, we are in complete control of this game."
"Everything is going exactly as I have planned," Cynthia says. "No one will be able to stop us."
Karen looks on, wondering about her own goals.
"I still don't trust Cynthia one bit," Karen says. "But I need Cynthia to stick around to the end along with myself, because I know I can beat Cynthia in a final jury. I must be patient."
Whitney feels a bit lucky to still be around.
"If I hadn't won those two straight immunities, I'd be out of the game by now," she says. "Now I wonder how many more immunities I'd have to win to get to the end – perhaps all of them."
Redemption Island Arena
"Come on in, guys!"
The four remaining players walk into the Redemption Island arena.
"We now bring in today's battlers: Sabrina, Janine, Giselle and Roxanne."
The four battlers march into the arena.
"Today is a very special Redemption Island," Ivy announces. "It is the last one!"
Sabrina, Giselle and Roxanne look excited, while Janine gives little response.
"The winners of today's duels go back into the game. After that, there will be no more Redemption Island – if you get voted out, you get sent immediately to the jury. Our first battle is Sabrina vs. Janine."
Janine looks depressed, realizing her huge disadvantage of having Poison types vs. Sabrina's Psychic types.
"To get back into the game! Survivors ready? Go!"
Sabrina sends out her Alakazam, while Janine reluctantly sends out her Venonat. Almost immediately, Alakazam blasts its Psychic attack at Venonat. Janine's Venonat cannot avoid the attack at all, and since it is super-effective, the Venonat goes down in one swift blow.
"And that's it! Just like that, Sabrina… stays alive! She is coming back to the game!"
Sabrina smirks, having her Alakazam return to its Poké Ball. She then shakes hands with an upset Janine.
"Now for our final battle: Giselle vs. Roxanne! Survivors ready? Go!"
Giselle and Roxanne both send out their Pokémon at almost exactly the same time. To everyone's surprise, both Pokémon are Gravelers.
"Graveler, Rollout!" Giselle calls.
"You too!" Roxanne shouts.
Both Gravelers roll right into each other, then keep pushing at each other nonstop.
"Keep pushing!" Giselle screams.
"Don't give up!" Roxanne yells.
The two Pokémon continue pushing and pushing, until one of them finally gives out and is knocked out.
"Roxanne's Graveler… is knocked out! Which means that Giselle… stays alive and will return to the game!"
Giselle raises her arms in celebration, as both trainers call back their Gravelers.
"Janine, Roxanne, I'm afraid your time in this game is up, you can both throw your buffs in the fire."
Janine and Roxanne walk towards the fire and toss their buffs in, then leave the Redemption Island arena.
"As for the rest of you, you are now one tribe of six. You can head back to camp, with the knowledge that getting voted out from here on out will send you to the jury – with no second chance."
The rest of the players exit the Redemption Island arena and head back to camp.
"I gave it a good run, I really did," Janine says. "I made it much farther than I should have, given my position in the tribe. If Silver hadn't screwed things up for us after the merge, I would have been around even longer. But I guess that's how things go."
"I hope I honored Arceus well in my playing," Roxanne says. "I really do not care much about winning, I just really wanted to please Arceus, and I think I did just that."
Orange Tribe
(Cynthia, Giselle, Karen, Lucian, Sabrina, Whitney)
Almost immediately upon returning to camp, Cynthia calls out Sabrina.
"Bow down before me, Worthless," she commands.
"Absolutely not!" Sabrina exclaims. "After what you put me through?"
"You are still my slave, you agreed to it," Cynthia responds. "Now bow down before me."
"We made an agreement, but you broke the deal by giving me a fake Master Ball."
"Well, how about this?"
Cynthia holds out the real Master Ball.
"This is the real immunity Master Ball. I'll give it to you as long as you join my alliance."
Lucian and Karen look shocked, but say nothing.
"It'll be the four of us in the Final Four. You can even have this Master Ball to make it so – but you must bow down before me."
Sabrina looks inquisitively at Cynthia. "And you promise this is the real thing?"
"Of course! Karen and Lucian can testify that it is."
Lucian nods at Sabrina. "It is indeed the real Master Ball."
Sabrina then slowly walks over to Cynthia, who hands over the Master Ball.
"Now bow down before me."
Sabrina slowly drops to her knees and bows her head.
"More, more. All the way to the ground."
Sabrina plunges her face into the ground.
"That's right, Worthless. That's where you belong. And you'll be my vote slave for the remainder of our time out here."
Cynthia begins to cackle, while Sabrina feels humiliated.
"This may be embarrassing, but at least I have a chance to knock out Cynthia now," Sabrina says. "I have a plan to knock her out."
"I'm so certain of what I'm doing that I don't even need the immunity Master Ball," Cynthia says. "Sabrina can have it, what good will it do her? She won't be able to make it past my master plan."
Day 35
The next day, Cynthia allows Sabrina to go get some rice to eat, and as she does, she talks with Whitney and Giselle.
"We're voting off Cynthia," she tells them.
"Great plan," Whitney replies.
"I'm not so sure," Giselle adds.
"Oh, come on!" Whitney exclaims. "She's been super-annoying the whole game through, we have to get rid of her!"
"But she would be easier to beat at the end," Giselle responds.
"You sound just like Silver," Whitney groans.
"Oh, all right," Giselle states. "But I better win!"
"I don't want to bring Cynthia to the end because I'm afraid there are too many of her minions who might end up voting for her," Whitney says. "I think Silver's idea that she'd be a goat is very flawed."
As Sabrina eats with them, Lucian looks up at Cynthia with worry.
"Are you really going to allow Sabrina to have that Master Ball?" he asks.
"Yes," Cynthia replies.
"But why?"
"Because she's dumb enough not to use it. We're going to make her as confident as possible that she won't go home, then she'll be voted out for the final time."
"Sabrina may be psychic, but there's no way she can see what I have in store for her," Cynthia says.
Challenge
"Come on in, guys!"
The six remaining players walk into the challenge area.
"Guys ready to get to today's challenge?"
"Yeah!"
"First things first… I will not take anything back. This is not an immunity challenge."
Everyone looks shocked upon hearing this.
"This is a reward challenge. The winner of this challenge will get to see their loved one back at camp."
Everyone looks very excited.
"I know it's worth playing for. For today's challenge, you'll dig in the sand trying to find three rings. You will then toss those rings onto posts. The first player to get all three of their rings on their posts wins reward. I'll give you a moment to strategize, and then we'll get started."
The players line up at the starting line.
"For a big reward! Survivors ready? Go!"
The players all run into the sand area, beginning to dig for their rings. Each player has a different designated area of the sand to dig in, across from their posts. Cynthia finds her first ring quickly.
"Cynthia off to a fast start!"
Lucian then finds his first ring, followed closely by Karen. Sabrina also gets her first ring a little later, followed by Giselle. Whitney is struggling mightily.
"Everyone but Whitney doing well!"
Cynthia finds her second ring, followed by Sabrina. Cynthia then finds her third ring very quickly, while Lucian and Karen are only on their second ring.
"Cynthia has all three rings! Start throwing them!"
Giselle finds her second ring, while Whitney finally finds her first ring. Sabrina gets her third ring, while Cynthia begins tossing.
"Cynthia lands her first ring!"
Lucian, Karen and Giselle all get their third rings, while Sabrina starts tossing, but Cynthia is way ahead.
"Cynthia lands her second ring! Only one more to go!"
Sabrina misses wildly on her first two tosses, and then it is all over.
"Cynthia lands her third ring! Total domination! Cynthia… wins reward!"
Cynthia laughs as she watches the others looking on with great disappointment.
"Congratulations, Cynthia. You will get to see your loved one back at camp."
Cynthia smiles warmly.
"Now, you can allow one other person to see their loved one too."
Cynthia thinks about it, while all the players look on with begging eyes.
"Who's it going to be, Cynthia?"
"I'm going to choose…"
She looks closely at Sabrina, who looks desperate.
"…no one."
Everyone gasps, especially Lucian.
"No one? With a chance to make someone else happy, you're going to choose no one?"
"That's right. The rest of you lost the challenge, you don't get any reward."
"Very well then. Only Cynthia's loved one will be waiting back at camp. The rest of you, I got nothing for you. You can head back to camp."
Cynthia and five angry players begin walking back to camp.
"I can't believe Cynthia would be so cruel," Lucian says. "She is a cruel person, but there was no need for her cruelty here."
Orange Tribe
(Cynthia, Giselle, Karen, Lucian, Sabrina, Whitney)
The players come back to the camp to meet Cynthia's grandmother Carolina. Cynthia embraces her warmly, then has a command for her.
"Bow down before me."
Carolina immediately bows down before Cynthia, as Cynthia takes her throne. Lucian kneels next to Carolina.
"Where's my slave? Worthless! Get over here!"
Sabrina sighs as Karen brings her over to Cynthia.
"Worthless, on your face!"
Karen throws Sabrina down to the ground.
"I don't understand," Sabrina wonders. "Why did you try so hard to win the challenge if all you were going to do was make your grandmother bow down before you?"
"That was the reason," Cynthia replies. "I have no use for mere human beings other than for them to show their proper respect towards me."
So Carolina spends her entire time on the island bowing down before Cynthia.
"It's incredible how vain Cynthia is," Sabrina says. "I've never seen someone with such arrogance in my life."
Day 36
The next morning, Sabrina has a question for Cynthia.
"Who are we voting off?" she asks.
"Whitney, of course," Cynthia replies. "It'll be the four of us voting her off. No worries at all unless Whitney wins immunity, in which case we change our vote to Giselle. You got it, Worthless?"
"Yes, I understand."
"Little does Cynthia know that I have a plan to take her out," Sabrina says.
So later in the day, while eating some rice, Sabrina hatches her plan. She sees Karen eating nearby, and decides to bring her in on it.
"Let's vote out Cynthia," Sabrina tells her. "It's the perfect opportunity."
A smile grows on Karen's face. "You're right, it is."
"The time has come for Cynthia to be eliminated from this game. Let's do it now."
Whitney looks quite worried, but says nothing to them.
"I don't think Cynthia will fall into their trap that easily," Whitney says. "She seems too smart for that."
Immunity Challenge
"Come on in, guys!"
The six players enter the immunity challenge area.
"You guys ready to get to today's immunity challenge?"
"Yeah!"
"First things first, I will take it back."
Whitney tosses the immunity GS Ball over to Ivy.
"Thank you. Once again, immunity is back up for grabs. For today's challenge, you will swim out to sea and retrieve a box of different colored Poké Balls. You will bring that box back to shore with you. Once you're back at shore, you'll break it open, then throw each of the Poké Balls into their designated slot from behind this line. If you throw one into the wrong slot, you have to go and take it out and go back behind the line and throw again. First player to get all four Poké Balls into their right slots wins immunity, and a guaranteed 1-in-5 shot at winning this game. I'll give you a minute to strategize, and then we'll get started."
The players all line up at the starting line.
"For immunity! Survivors ready? Go!"
The players take off into the water, with Cynthia again taking an early advantage. She gets to her box first, followed by Karen and Giselle. They start bringing their boxes back, while Lucian, Sabrina and Whitney finally get to their boxes.
"A nice start for Cynthia!"
Cynthia gets back to shore first, followed closely by Giselle. Karen is next to the beach, and Sabrina is fourth. They all start breaking open their boxes to get to the Poké Balls.
"Once you've got those Poké Balls out, you start tossing them into their slots!"
Cynthia gets hers out and begins tossing. She lands her first ball in its correct spot. Giselle tosses one as well, but it lands in the wrong spot.
"Go get your ball and retrieve it, Giselle! That's the wrong spot!"
Giselle hurries to get her ball, while Sabrina lands one of her balls. Karen gets one of hers in its correct place too. Lucian and Whitney finally get back to shore and start breaking open their boxes.
"It's a close race so far!"
Cynthia lands her second ball. Giselle gets her first into its correct spot. Sabrina and Karen also land their second balls, while Lucian finally lands his first.
"Whitney, not even in this challenge!"
Cynthia lands her third ball, as Giselle gets her second. Lucian tosses one, but it lands in the wrong spot.
"Cynthia, one away from winning this challenge!"
Giselle, Sabrina and Karen all land their third balls nearly simultaneously, setting up a close finish.
"This is neck-and-neck-and-neck-and-neck!"
Finally, one of them lands their fourth ball in the correct spot.
"Cynthia… misses! Giselle gets it in the right spot, and she wins immunity!"
Giselle raises her arms in celebration, while Cynthia gives a look of disgust in frustration.
"Congratulations, Giselle, this is for you."
Ivy hands over the immunity GS Ball to Giselle.
"You are safe from tonight's Tribal Council. The rest of you, someone's going home, I'll give you a few hours to figure out who that's gonna be."
The players head on back to camp.
"I feel so happy that I won!" Giselle says. "I always win at Pokémon battles, but this is a different challenge. I'm not surprised, though."
Orange Tribe
(Cynthia, Giselle, Karen, Lucian, Sabrina, Whitney)
Sabrina talks over her plans with Whitney.
"I've got Karen on board, as well as Giselle," Sabrina tells Whitney. "Cynthia's going home tonight."
"Shouldn't you have a backup plan?" Whitney asks. "I see that you pilfered that Master Ball off Cynthia."
"Yes, but I won't need it," Sabrina responds. "Since Cynthia and Lucian are voting for you, I won't get any votes."
"I wouldn't be so sure," Whitney replies.
"Look, I have to take a gamble at some point, and this is it. Cynthia's going home!"
"It's finally time for me to win one over Cynthia," Sabrina says. "Tonight is the big night."
Tribal Council
The six players walk into the Tribal Council area with their torches ablaze. They set them down, then take their seats across from Professor Ivy.
"We now bring in the members of our jury. Candice, Liza, Silver, our quitter Jasmine, Janine and Roxanne."
The six jury members take their designated seats.
"Cynthia, you're slipping. Whitney won two immunities, and now Giselle won this immunity."
"Yes, but I still won't need it," Cynthia replies. "I am supremely confident that my plan will work out."
"And that plan is…?"
"Vote out the weak Whitney, who has no one left," Cynthia responds.
"Whitney, are you out of chances?"
"It appears so," Whitney replies. "It's amazing that Cynthia's going to get her way yet again."
"Giselle, happy to be holding onto that immunity GS Ball?"
"Of course!" Giselle exclaims. "But I'm really not sure who I should vote for tonight, it's a tough decision for me."
"You mean this vote could still be up in the air?"
"That's right," Giselle states. "I'm not sure who to go with."
"Well, we know that Cynthia has that Master Ball…"
Sabrina then holds out the Master Ball.
"Sabrina, where did you get that Master Ball?" Ivy asks.
"Cynthia gave it to me," Sabrina replies.
"Cynthia… gave it to you? Are you sure that isn't a fake?"
"It's the real thing," Lucian breaks in.
"It really is," Karen adds.
"Wow. I am speechless. Cynthia, you may have just given away the game, after controlling it with an iron fist."
"You'll see," Cynthia responds.
"Well, with that, I don't know what to expect. Giselle has immunity, you cannot vote for her, everyone else is fair game, and it is… time to vote. Cynthia, you're up first."
The Tribal Council theme "Tally the Vote" plays as the players go to vote.
Cynthia goes to vote.
Giselle goes to vote.
Karen goes to vote.
Lucian goes to vote.
Sabrina goes to vote.
Whitney goes to vote.
"I don't have much hope tonight, but I'm voting for you anyway," Whitney says, showing her vote for Cynthia.
"I'll go tally the votes."
Ivy gathers the votes, rearranges them, then returns to the players.
"If anyone has an immunity Master Ball, and you would like to play it, now would be the time to do so."
Everyone looks at Sabrina. Sabrina holds the ball out for a second, then pulls it back.
"Okay. Once the votes are read, the decision is final, and the person voted out will be asked to leave the Tribal Council area immediately. I'll read the votes."
She pulls out the first vote.
"Cynthia."
She takes out the second vote.
"Cynthia."
A smile grows on Sabrina's face. Whitney gets hopeful.
"Sabrina."
Cynthia smiles herself.
"Sabrina. We're tied, two votes Sabrina, two votes Cynthia."
Ivy pulls out the next vote.
"Sabrina. Three votes Sabrina, two votes Cynthia, one vote left."
Sabrina suddenly looks completely shocked. Whitney begins to shake her head. Cynthia has the biggest evil smile on her face.
"Twenty-second player voted out of Survivor: Shamouti Island…"
Ivy holds out the vote, which says "Worthless Slave Sabrina."
"…Sabrina. That's four, that's enough."
Sabrina looks furious, and she throws the immunity Master Ball to the ground in frustration. As she goes over to get her torch, Cynthia picks up the Master Ball, but no one notices, as they all watch Sabrina bring her torch over to Ivy.
"Sabrina, the tribe has spoken. It's time for you to go."
Sabrina walks out of the Tribal Council area in a huff.
"Sabrina not only becomes the first player in Survivor history to get voted out three times in a single game, she also failed to survive a single Tribal Council that she attended. Perhaps she is the worst player in Survivor history. Grab your torches, head back to camp, good night."
Cynthia smiles proudly, as the five remaining players head back to camp.
"I can't believe it, I was hoodwinked by Cynthia again!" Sabrina says. "Now there's no Redemption Island to bail me out. I can't believe I was so stupid. I should have used that Master Ball… but I thought for sure I was safe and that Whitney or Cynthia would go home. I guess I'm a very poor psychic."
Who voted for whom:
