Nickelodeon vs. Cartoon Network Survivor
Episode 11
Timmy: In this season of Survivor, friends have become enemies and enemies have become friends, and the last episode was no different. Retroville's resident boy genius Jimmy Neutron began a plot to have an all-Nickelodeon final four, with Squidward as his primary ally. He set his sights on Eddy, who has been the target of many votes in this game yet is still alive.
The reward challenge came down to a pure luck of the draw, as castaways smashed jars to reveal a reward or punishment. This left Otto and Eddy with tickets to Exile Island. While they were gone, Jimmy went to work trying to convince Reggie to endorse his all-Nickelodeon final four plan.
At immunity, both Squidward and Reggie cashed in immunity challenge advantages that they had obtained earlier in the game. Out of those two, Reggie was the one that took advantage of the opportunity for her first individual immunity.
At tribal council, Jimmy's plan wound up blowing up in his face as Eddy found out that he was planning to vote him off. In a shocking moment, Otto and Eddy, along with Reggie and Double D, worked together to vote off Jimmy Neutron by a 4-2-1 margin. However, when they left tribal, they hate for each other was stronger than ever, as Otto got a vote that he believes was from Eddy. In reality, it was Blossom that cast the vote for Otto.
What is Blossom up to? Is this the episode either Otto or Eddy goes home? If so, which one? Let's pick things up with Night 30…
Blackbeard Tribe: Night 30
(The Blackbeard Tribe arrives back at camp after tribal council and puts their torches down. Suddenly, Otto pushes Eddy down from behind.)
Otto: That was a really clever plan Eddy! Say we're voting for Jimmy, and then you try to blindside me. It's too bad nobody else voted with you.
Eddy: (gets up and spits sand out of his mouth) I swear I voted for Jimmy as planned. Besides, how am I supposed to know you didn't vote for me?
Otto: WHAT? Don't turn this shit around me you little…
(Otto and Eddy are about to fight, but Reggie steps in between them.)
Reggie: It is one in the morning! It's too late for your whining. I'm going to bed. (Reggie heads for the shelter.)
Otto: There's no more putting it off. Eddy is the next one going home. Hands down!
Eddy: You know what? He probably was one of the people who voted for me. I can't believe I trusted him, even for a moment.
Blackbeard Tribe: Day 31
(Blossom is the first to wake up and goes for a swim in the sea.)
Blossom: I didn't vote for Otto last night thinking that he would get voted off. I knew no one else was voting with me. I voted for Otto knowing that he would think Eddy voted for him. While the two of them are at each other's throats, I'm orchestrating a blindside that will make Otto and Eddy the next two out of this game in that order. I need at least four for a majority, but I might be able to do it with at least three. I can get Double D on my side for sure, and probably Squidward as well. Reggie has told me multiple times that she won't vote for her brother, so it's in my best interest to not let her in on this plan, even though I will feel bad lying to one of my friends in this game. If this goes off without a hitch, then this move could be the move that wins me a million dollars.
(Blossom returns from her swim to see Double D about to get in the shower.)
Blossom: Double D, do you want to get the tree-mail with me?
Double D: While that does sound like a marvelous time, I have established a routine out here that I would like to adhere to if it all possible.
Blossom: Please. It's important.
Double D: Well, if you are adamant about this, I suppose I could delay my shower for a few moments.
(Double D puts his toiletries away and walks with Blossom down the beach.)
Double D: So, what do you need to address with me that's so urgent?
Blossom: I'm putting together a blindside vote. We're going after Otto and Eddy in that order.
Double D: That sounds tricky, but could reap us some great benefits if successful. Judging by last night's vote, it looks like someone is already on board to vote off Otto.
Blossom: That was my vote, but don't tell anyone. I want Otto to keep thinking that Eddy voted for him. With those two distracted by each other, we can put an alliance together behind their back.
Double D: Wow, you have really thought this through Blossom. (scoffs) And Jimmy thought he was such a genius.
(They share a laugh just as they arrive at the tree-mail. Double D grabs the paper and reads the message.)
Double D: "Building a fire is key to Survivor. Do it tonight, and your spirits will be much higher." What could they have in store to lift our spirits?
(Double D and Blossom walk back to camp to alert the other castaways.)
Double D: I'm glad Jimmy is gone. We had a little subtle rivalry going as to who was the smartest at camp. I guess that question is answered now.
Night 31: Reward Challenge
(The castaways meet Timmy on the beach about a mile away from their camp. There are six fire pits lined up along the beach.)
Timmy: So, we're one month into this game. How's everyone holding up?
Reggie: (Sarcastic) Well, I'm filthy, hungry, thirsty, and tired, but other than that, I'm just swell. How are you holding up in your Ritz-Carlton?
Timmy: Okay, that was a bit of a dumb question. You all are probably feeling a little lonely too, right? (Castaways nod) I bet you would like to get messages from your loved ones? (Castaway's ears perk up at the thought of hearing from their friends and family.) Well, we did even better than that. We have brought a friend or family member from home to the island for each of you, and they are going to help you out with this challenge. (Castaways are ecstatic to hear this news.) There's a catch though: only the winner of this reward challenge will get to spend time with their loved ones tomorrow. With that said, let's bring out the loved ones, starting with you Reggie. All the way from Ocean Shores, it's your friend Sam.
(Sam Dullard emerges from the woods and gives Reggie a big hug. He also gets a high five from Otto.)
Sam: I knew you'd make it this far Rocket Girl!
Reggie: Thanks Sammy. How's Ocean Shores?
Sam: (sarcasm) Oh, the place is falling apart without you.
Timmy: As for you Otto, here is your best bud Maurice.
?: Dude, my name's Twister!
(Twister Rodriguez comes out of the woods and runs towards Otto. They then get together with Reggie and Sam to do the group's signature handshake.)
Otto: Dude, I can't believe the whole gang is here! This is beyond rad.
Timmy; Moving on to you Blossom. Please welcome back to the game…Bubbles.
(A streak of blue light moves quickly through the woods. Blossom's pink streak goes to meet her as the two sisters are happily reunited.)
Timmy: Speaking of previously voted out castaways, Eddy, here is your friend Ed.
(Ed comes running out of the woods and wraps Eddy in a bear hug.)
Ed: EDDY! I am back from the living dead!
(Eddy is gasping for breath as he releases himself from Ed's tight grip.)
Eddy: I see you still haven't showered lumpy!
Ed: I did, but it was in a tub full of gravy.
Timmy: Okay, way too much information there. Double D, from the Peach Creek cul-de-sac, here is Rolf.
(Rolf comes walking out of the forest.)
Rolf: Ah yes, Double D Ed boy! I thank you for helping me win my bet with Kevin. He said you'd be the first one voted out, and now he has to pay me three turnips and two chickens by the next full moon.
Double D: Well, I appreciate the vote of confidence Rolf.
Timmy: Lastly, we got Squidward. I bet you'll be happy to see…Spongebob!
(Squidward's shoulders sag in disappointment as Spongebob joins him.)
Spongebob: Hi Squidward! Did you miss me pal? (laughs) Oh, who am I kidding? Of course you did!
Squidward: Can I…
Timmy: No, you can't! Now, this reward challenge is pretty straightforward. Each of you has your own fire pit, with a string above it that is tied together by two wooden poles. The objective is to build a fire that is big enough and strong enough to burn the string in half. The first castaway to do this wins reward, and they get to spend the whole day tomorrow with their friend or loved one. As I mentioned earlier, your friends can help you out with this challenge by gathering firewood and building the fire. Any questions? (silence) Okay, Survivors and loved ones ready….GO!
[The six duos employ a variety of strategies for this challenge. Otto and Twister immediately sprint to the woods to get firewood together. Double D stays with the fire while Rolf fetches firewood. Reggie and Sam take a moment to plan out that fire before getting the firewood. Thanks to their super speed, Bubbles and Blossom are the first to gather enough firewood. Spongebob drops off firewood, but then Squidward gets rid of it as he has no desire to win the challenge. Ed brings back a whole tree for Eddy to use as firewood, to the amazement of the others. Otto and Twister rapidly go about putting wood on the fire pit, but their pile is really unorganized. Reggie and Sam take a more slow and steady approach. Blossom and Bubbles are the first ones to attempt to light their fire, but they have a hard time with it, as do Double D and Rolf. After 45 minutes of trying, Reggie and Sam are the first to light their fire, followed closely by Otto and Twister. Bubbles accidentally knocks down Blossom's fire pit when she is creeped out by a snake. Spongebob lights the fire, but then Squidward immediately puts it out. Meanwhile, Reggie and Sam's fire is starting to build, followed closely by Otto and Twister and Eddy and Ed. It is a close race between the three duos, with all three fires burning the string. In the end, it is Reggie's string that snaps in two first. She and Sam share in a raucous celebration.]
Timmy: Congratulations Reggie! You get to spend the day with Sam tomorrow. As for the rest of you, say goodbye to friends and loved ones.
(Everyone except Squidward does exactly that, and all of the friends except Sam leave.)
Timmy: One last order of business Reggie: Whom are you sending to Exile Island?
(Reggie doesn't take long to make a decision.)
Reggie: I'm sending Eddy.
Timmy: Alright Eddy, for the third time in this game, you are headed to Exile. Everyone else may head back to camp and get some sleep. See you at immunity.
(Eddy stomps off to Exile while the rest of the Blackbeard Tribe walks the opposite way back to camp.)
Blackbeard Tribe: Day 32
(Out on the sea, Reggie is sharing her surfboard with Sam, and Otto is out surfing with them as well.)
Sam: Wow, it is really pretty out here.
Reggie: Not as pretty as Hawaii though.
Otto: Yeah, the surf is a little better there too, but this is still a nice spot.
Sam: So, how tough has it been to play this game?
Otto: Dude, it's been even tougher than New Zealand.
Sam: (astonished) Wow, that hard, huh?
Reggie: We have to live on like two small cups of rice per day, and a bit of fish if we're lucky. Not to mention you have to worry about what everyone else is doing.
Otto: Yeah, you know that guy Eddy that Reg sent to Exile? That dude has had it out for me since day 1!
Sam: Why?
Otto: Because he's a self-centered, egotistical jerk who sees me as a threat. (sighs) Oh well, at least there isn't anyone else scheming to vote me out.
(Scene cuts to the shelter, where Blossom and Double D are resting. Then, Squidward comes back from a walk down shore. Blossom and Double D exchange knowing glances, and then make a beeline for Squidward.)
Blossom: As badly as I wanted to spend time with Bubbles, Reggie's victory might help my game more. While she and Otto are distracted catching up with their friend, I can keep working on my blindside. I've already got Double D on my side, and Eddy will almost certainly vote for Otto without my help. So, if we can get Squidward on board, that seals the deal.
(Squidward sees Blossom and Double D approaching them.)
Blossom: So, you're probably wondering who voted for Otto at the last tribal council, huh?
Squidward (shrugs shoulders): Meh….not really.
Blossom: Well, it was me, and Double D and I are putting together a blindside vote to take him out. Are you in?
Squidward: Look, I'm tired of talking strategy all the time. It's the Caribbean Sea! Can't we just relax for a moment?
Double D: I understand your plight, but this vote is in your best interest.
Squidward: Go on…
Blossom: Face it Squidward: you have not been a strong player. Other than one individual immunity, you've underperformed. You have had almost zero involvement in strategy, you're not exactly likeable either. You're just kind of here.
Squidward: You have my vote…if Otto doesn't win immunity, he's gone.
Blossom: Yeah, that is the one potential snag in the plan.
Day 33: Immunity Challenge
(The Blackbeard Tribe walks down shore to see a long balance beam in the water, with a platform right alongside it. They swim out to the platform where Timmy is waiting for them.)
Timmy: First, let's welcome back Eddy from Exile Island.
(Eddy rejoins the others to very little applause.)
Timmy: Next up, Reggie, it's time to give up the necklace. (Reggie takes off the immunity necklace and hands it to Timmy.) Once again, immunity is back up for grabs. For today's challenge, you have a simple task. You will all stand on that balance beam and try to stay on it for as long as you can. Every 15 minutes, pieces of the balance beam will be removed from both sides to make it more difficult. The last castaway standing wins immunity, and a spot in the top five. Take your places on the beam and we'll get started.
[The six castaways stand on the balance beam.]
Timmy: Okay, this challenge is now on.
[Everyone is doing well at the start of the challenge, and there have been no eliminations at the 15-minute mark when Timmy removes a piece from both ends of the balance beam. A couple of minutes after that, Double D loses his footing, and is the first one gone. About five minutes after that, Squidward drops into the ocean. At this point, the four remaining castaways in the challenge start playing mind games with each other.]
Blossom: Boy, 33 days in. You must be getting pretty tired Otto.
Otto: No, I actually feel good today.
Eddy: Really, are you sure you're not having a little bit of trouble with this?
Otto: Nope. It's just like balancing on a surfboard. It's second nature to me.
[All four reach the 30-minute mark, at which point removes another piece from both ends of the balance beam. It is getting more crowded on the beam, and it's becoming harder for the castaways to concentrate. 40 minutes in, Reggie falls into the water, leaving only 3 in the challenge. At the 45-minute mark, the balance beam gets even smaller. Just before they reach the hour mark, Eddy just barely loses his balance and drops in the water.]
Timmy: Okay, Eddy is out, and that leaves Blossom and Otto.
[At the hour point, Timmy removes pieces from the balance beam for the final time. Blossom is trying to will herself to stay on, knowing that her plan to blindside Otto tonight depends on it. Suddenly, she comes up with an idea.]
Blossom: Do you want to finally get rid of Eddy tonight?
Otto: Duh, of course I do. I've been meaning to vote him off since the merge.
Blossom: If you jump off now, you've got my vote.
Otto: How can I know that for sure? How can I trust you?
Blossom: Come on Otto! I am Reggie's closest ally out here. If she trusts me, then I'm sure you can trust me too.
[Otto takes a minute to mull over Blossom's offer.]
Otto: Blossom, this is the night that either Eddy or I go home. The only way I can guarantee that it is Eddy is if I stay on this beam. So no deal!
Blossom: That's fine. It was just a thought.
[While playing cool on the outside, Blossom is fuming on the inside that her offer got turned down. About five minutes later, Blossom finally plunges into the Caribbean Sea, securing immunity for Otto, who dives into the water in celebration.]
Timmy: Otto Rocket, for the second time, here is your immunity necklace. (Timmy puts the necklace around Otto's neck.) You're in the top five, but which of these five will not be joining you? We'll find out tonight at tribal council. See you then…
(The Blackbeard Tribe heads back to camp.)
Blackbeard Tribe: Day 33
Blossom: I've got to give Otto a lot of credit. He's smarter than I thought. Like he said, it's probably either him or Eddy going him tonight, and now that he has immunity, it's time to switch our vote to Eddy.
(Blossom and Double D are out by the freshwater spring.)
Blossom: You've got to do it Double D.
Double D: Despite our vast differences in this game, I find it hard to bring myself to vote for my long time cohort.
Blossom: I know it's hard. Bubbles voted for Buttercup earlier in the game, and she struggled with it. When I look back on it, I think it was the right vote.
Double D: I need some time alone to think about this.
Blossom: Sure. (Blossom leaves)
Double D: Perhaps Blossom is right. Perhaps it is time for me to step up and be my own man.
Night 33: Tribal Council
(The six castaways proceed in with their torches. Timmy is already there waiting for them.)
Timmy: Before we begin, let's bring in the five members of our jury.
(Eliza, Bubbles, Ed, Dee-Dee, and Jimmy all take their seats in the jury area.)
Timmy: Blossom, you and Otto appeared to talk an awful lot during the challenge today. What was that all about?
Blossom: Oh, that was just an offer I made that Otto turned down. I'd rather not go into details about it.
Timmy: Very well. Eddy, you've spent most of the past six days in Exile. Do you fear that you've become isolated from the rest of the tribe?
Eddy: Yeah, because I've pretty much been isolated for almost two weeks now.
Timmy: Double D, how much have you and Eddy talked since the merger?
Double D: To be honest, we've haven't talked much at all. We were in the same alliance at first, but now we're just off doing our own thing.
Timmy: Otto, do you think it is a foregone conclusion which one of you is going to go home tonight?
Otto: I do.
Timmy: Well then, let's get on with it. It is time to vote. Otto, you're up first.
[Otto walks into the voting booth and votes for EDDY.]
Otto: Tonight is finally the night.
[Shots of Double D, Blossom, Reggie, and Squidward voting. Eddy is last, and his vote is for REGGIE.]
Eddy: If I can't vote for Otto, his sister is the next best thing.
[Eddy returns to his seat.]
Timmy: I'll go tally the votes. [Timmy leaves and returns with the bucket.] Once the votes are read, the decision is final, and the person voted off must leave the tribal council immediately. I'll read the votes. [takes first vote out of bucket.] First vote…Reggie. Next vote….Eddy. Third vote….Eddy. Fourth vote….Eddy. Next vote….is for Eddy, which means the last vote doesn't matter. Eddy, bring me your torch.
(Eddy tries to grab Otto's torch at first, but is stopped by Reggie. Reluctantly, he takes his torch to Timmy.)
Timmy: Eddy, the tribe has spoken. (Extinguishes torch) Time to go. (Eddy leaves the tribal council) It's hard to believe that we are only six days away from voting for a winner. Head on back to camp. Good night!
(The final five castaways grab their torches and head back to camp.)
Confessional
Eddy: After the immunity challenge, I saw this coming, and there wasn't much I could do to stop it. Even Double D turned on me. Still, I'm rooting for him to win the game. Good luck sockhead!
