Video Game Survivor Redemption Island Finale
36 days ago 18 contestants landed on the game. With Alyx and Lucario being the 2 returning players coming back into the game. Despite having respect with some players but met opposition. Alyx lost her ally Carth when Astrid tried to take over the tribe. While Lucario flipped and took out Brock only to anger Mercer, Surge, and Grayson. Scyther returned to the game and Ishi and Grayson flipped between two alliances taking out Farkas, Alyx, Miranda, Revan, Mordin, and James. Finally the two alliances banded together to vote off Ishi and then Grayson. Now 4 players are in the game.
Scyther the calm strategist
Jolteon the hyper active social player
Lucario the strong returning player
And Samara the loyal one
Three people are in Redemption Island and one will return either
James the poker playing Marine
Ishi the cybernetic mercenary
Grayson the foul mouthed mercenary
One of them will be the winner of Survivor and 1 million dollars.
Redemption Island Night 36
Grayson walked in very upset.
"*beeping Pokemon!" Grayson yelled waking up Ishi and James
"Failed to take out the Pokemon?" James asked
"Yeah I tried my best." Grayson said laying down.
James's Confession: I have been thinking of a plan since I got here and I think that I came up with one. As much as I hate to do it to Scyther and Jolteon I have to betray them if I get back into the game.
"Well good luck to you both. I need my energy for tomorrow." Ishi said
Ishi's Confession: I need to focus. With Farkas gone my next biggest opponent is James. He is better than I expected in puzzles and he is more well-built than Grayson. He will be a challenge.
"Well I am just pissed that they came out of nowhere to control the game" Grayson said
"Bull*beep*!" James yelled "They made a great move and took power when it benefitted them the most. I congratulate them for that at least."
Grayson's Confession: I hate having little control. And when the Pokemon alliance came in they took all control from me. It pisses me off and if I come back ALL HELL WILL BREAK LOOSE.
Tribe Tribe Day 36
The tribe was working on chores and hunting.
Samara's Confession: With Grayson gone the tribe can relax a bit. No one to step around because he might yell at you and no one to destroy the shelter. I am a bit afraid of the three Pokemon but I hope that Lucario could betray me.
The three Pokemon were out hunting as Samara was tending the fire.
"So Samara is next?" Jolteon asked
"No, whoever comes back from Redemption Island first. The three people left are stronger." Lucario said
"Agreed, unfortunately as much as I like James he could win the final immunity." Scyther said
Jolteon's Confession: Besides Scyther, James was one of my first allies. I would hate to vote him out but I guess because I want the million dollars. Sorry James.
"I know that you two were allies of James but he could win if he manages to overthrow us." Lucario said
"I know. You never can tell what he is thinking" Scyther said
Lucario's Confession: James has been kicking ass in Redemption Island. He eliminated Farkas who was dominating the challenges before him. However if Ishi or Grayson comes back it would be an easy elimination.
The three broke off as Scyther went to hunt pig.
Scyther's Confession: With Redemption Island coming up in a couple of hours I am going to prepare a feast. Whoever comes back has to be relaxed and lower their guard. It would be the only way to guarantee that no one flips. I know Lucario is with us but I have a feeling that he could flip.
Final Redemption Island Challenge Day 37
"Welcome to final Redemption Island challenge." Nighteye said
Lucario's Confession: I guess I got to watch and hope for the best. I need James to lose. If he wins we could be in trouble.
Scyther's Confession: It's all up to one challenge now. To see who comes back. James or the two flippers. I am cheering for James but my game would be better with Ishi and Grayson coming back.
"Today's challenge will have you holding a plank of wood down with your foot. One there is a pot. If you move the pot will fall. Last one left comes back into the game." Nighteye said
James's Confession: I am really nervous now. Grayson might fall due to his attitude but Ishi could survive easily. The guy is half cyborg. I need to muster every ounce of willpower to stay alive.
Grayson's Confession: *beep*! *beep*! *Beep*! Really? A willpower challenge!? This is complete bull*beep*!
Ishi's Confession: I am nervous on what will happen. James is tough and easily beat me and Farkas last time but not this time. Time to kick ass!
"Let's get started." Nighteye said as the three put their feet on the planks. "This challenge has just started."
One pot fell immediately.
"Grayson is out!" Nighteye said
"*Beep!*" Grayson yelled startling Ishi who dropped his pot.
"…well Ishi is out…less than 10 seconds…a new record for shortest challenge so far." Nighteye said surprised as James cheered as well as Jolteon and Scyther
"Damn it Grayson" Ishi said walking away and burning his buff.
"So Grayson any regrets?" Nighteye asked
"*beep* you!" Grayson yelled burning his buff and walking away.
"Well that was eventful. James you can rejoin your tribe and everyone can head back to camp…for a immunity challenge" Nighteye said
Grayson's Final Words: I am not giving a final word. Get the *beep* out of my face!
Ishi's Final Words: I was very disappointed in what happened at the challenge but sixth place is not bad. Despite the difficulties I had it was still fun. Good luck James you deserve it.
Immunity Challenge Day 37
"Welcome back to camp. I hope that you enjoyed your walk. Today's challenge is a scavenger hunt. There are several large pearls hidden around camp. First person to bring back 3 wins immunity…and of course the pearls. They are worth a few hundred dollars. Survivors ready…go!" Nighteye yelled as the five run out into camp. James and Samara checked around the shelter as James located a pearl and brought it back. Jolteon checked out the nearby creek and found a pearl as well. Scyther flew into the trees looking as Lucario checked around the well.
"Jolteon and James have 1 pearl each!" Nighteye yelled as Lucario came back with one. Samara and Scyther kept looking under to find any. Jolteon checked out the beach as James looked around the paths. Jolteon came back with a second pearl. "Jolteon has 2! She only needs one more!"
"Damn it!" James said finally finding a second pearl. "Finally"
"James has 2 and Scyther brought back one!" Nighteye said. James and Jolteon were looking in the forest as Samara has given up. Finally someone found the last pearl and brought it back.
"Jolteon wins immunity!" Nighteye yelled as Jolteon brought the last pearl back.
"Yes!" Jolteon said happy that she won.
"Congratulations Jolteon you are safe for tonight. For everyone else someone will be voted out tonight. You have the rest of the day to think about it." Nighteye said walking away.
Tribe Tribe Day 37
"Great to have you back James!" Jolteon said happily
"Great to be back." James said. "So tell me who are we voting out?"
"Samara, she has been dragged along too far to go any further." Jolteon said
"Good." James replied
James's Confession: I won the Redemption Island challenge however I lost immunity. Still I am not giving up. I am not going to stay in this camp for less than 12 hours. I need to scramble and fast.
"Samara first then Lucario second." James said walking away.
Jolteon's Confession: I hate to lie to James but it is necessary in order to win. Sorry James but please do not hate me. Hopefully James will leave because I know that he could have something up his sleeve.
James goes up to Lucario.
"So do not BS me here. I am next right?" James asked
"Unfortunately. Nothing personal." Lucario said
"However how well do you think you can go facing Jolteon and Scyther?" James asked
"I think I could fare well. Why?" Lucario asked
"It's just because I talked to the last few people in Redemption Island and because of your move the jury is in favor of Scyther and Jolteon. They claim that they played a better game. However with me coming back into the game this late I might not have much of a chance and Samara has no chance." James explained
"You do have a point." Lucario said
Lucario's Confession: I think James is playing me but he does make a point. I did anger Miranda and Mordin with my move so if I go into the final 3 with Scyther and Jolteon I could lose.
"Just vote Scyther okay?" James said
"Got it." Lucario replied. When James left Scyther walked in.
"So who is he targeting?" Scyther asked
"Apparently you. Don't worry I am not flipping." Lucario said
"Good, I figured that he was going to take us on." Scyther replied
Scyther's Confession: Well I predicted this. James is trying to take out the Pokemon alliance. I am a bit scared of Lucario maybe flipping but hopefully Samara can see the danger that James possess.
After Scyther left Samara walked over.
"So what is the plan?" Samara asked
Samara's Confession: I know how much of a threat James is but I do not think Lucario would take me. Still I am loyal. If Lucario wants to vote James I have to vote with him. If not then he made the best choice.
"I do not know. We have two choices. James or Scyther." Lucario said thinking "I would like your opinion."
"I know that both choices can have consequences. So we need to think of something together." Samara said
The tribe packed up and headed to tribal council.
James's Confession: I did my best and now to see if I will survive or end up with the quickest boot out of camp after getting here. If I can take out Scyther then I will prove that I can break the Pokemon alliance.
Tribal Council #14
"Welcome to Tribal Council. Here is the jury, Alyx, Miranda, Revan, Mordin, Farkas, Grayson, and Ishi. So James, you won Redemption Island and a few hours later you are back at Tribal Council with no immunity." Nighteye said
"Yeah I feel a little *beep*ed here but I think that my allies have my back. I mean I made a final 3 pact with them and with me coming back may hinder my chances of winning since I was voted off." James said
"However you are a good player and know when to make moves." Lucario said
"So is Scyther but all I proved was I was able to win challenges. There is nothing strategic about Redemption Island." James responded
"What about having Farkas win over Mordin then hanging him out to dry the very next challenge." Lucario said
"They were small compared to fighting to stay alive. But now one vote could take me out." James responded
"Lucario do you have an issue with James coming back?" Nighteye asked
"Not really, he deserves it since he fought hard. But what I was saying was that he was strategizing in every challenge. I do not think that he lays out his strategy to everyone but I have seen it in place." Lucario responded
"Jolteon I know that you are James were close. Happy that he is back?" Nighteye asked
"Very, I really hate having my friends voted out and I did have a pact with him. As long as he stays loyal I will stay loyal." Jolteon said
"No, you are wrong." Samara responded. "You are planning on voting him out just like everyone else."
"A lot of people lie in this game. Even you." Jolteon said
"So Samara do you think you are worthy being here in the final 5?" Nighteye asked
"Well I have been loyal and I made some moves…" Samara started
"What moves?" Scyther asked
"I do not need to describe them. I will tell the jury when it is time." Samara said
"I am just wondering because we all made moves except for you." Scyther replied
"Scyther, why do you think that Samara made no moves?" Nighteye asked
"Every plot that was made up on her alliance was either made by Mordin or Lucario. She just sat around and voted with them." Scyther replied
"It is time to vote. James you are up first." Nighteye said as James goes up and votes.
Scyther
"Sorry man, have to do it." James said Scyther walks up and votes.
James
"I have been in your shoes and you deserve to return but it is at the wrong time." Scyther said
Jolteon goes up and votes
Samara
"I am sorry I cannot vote for James." Jolteon said
Lucario and Samara votes.
"I will read the votes." Nighteye said getting the urn. "First vote…"
James
Samara
Samara looked confused
Scyther
Scyther
Eighth member of the jury…
Scyther
Scyther sighed and brought up his torch as Jolteon looked devastated.
"Scyther the tribe has spoken." Nighteye said snuffing Scyther's torch a second time as Scyther leaves the area. "With only 4 left one more of you will be going home tomorrow. I will see you up and early tomorrow morning."
Scyther's Final Words: No Redemption Island this time but it was great experience and 5th out of 18 is not bad. Good luck Jolteon and to James. Good move there. You may get my vote if you continue to play hard but if Jolteon makes it she has my vote.
Tribe Tribe Night 37
Jolteon came back to camp and walked into the forest without saying a word.
"Jolteon listen. It was nothing personal!" James said trying to trail after her.
"Leave me alone! I thought I could trust you!" Jolteon shouted back trying to hold back tears.
"Let her go." Lucario said getting in James's way. "Trust me. Let her come to you."
Jolteon's Confession: *trying to hold back crying* I thought I could trust him. I did not vote for him but he voted for Scyther and took him out. I never thought that he would betray the alliance. I think I am more sad that he did not tell me or gave any kind of hint.
"beep*. Now I feel bad." James said
"I know. But it is all part of the game." Lucario replied putting a hand on James's shoulder.
James's Confession: Last night I voted out Scyther and with that I made a big move but despite Scyther voted for me Jolteon did not. Maybe I should have been honest with her and maybe we could have pulled a move over Lucario but I got too caught up in the survival game.
"So Jolteon is next and you are on your way to the final 3." Lucario said
Lucario's Confession: I do not feel good betraying the Pokemon alliance but Jolteon and Scyther would have destroyed me in the final 3. They betrayed no one and the chances of me beating them are slim.
"Yeah I know." James said a little depressed.
Samara's Confession: I know that I should feel bad but this is a game. Yes Scyther was a nice guy but he had to go. Stop feeling so bad for him and Jolteon.
Tribe Tribe Day 38
Before Nighteye came into camp. Jolteon was outside of camp looking in. James woke up and noticed her and came to talk.
"Listen, I am sorry for Scyther. He was a good player and one hell of a bug but he did vote for me." James said
"At least you could have told me. I would have understood." Jolteon said
"I wanted to but Scyther would have formed a counter attack on me. I am sorry and I promise not to vote you off." James said
James's Confession: I really like Jolteon as a friend an ally. And despite my poker face I cannot lie to her. She was honest with me and I have to be honest with her.
Nighteye walks in with an air horn.
"Oh someone is already awake." Nighteye said throwing the air horn away. "Well wake up Lucario and Samara and head to the fallen comrades."
"Lucario! Samara! Time to go!" James yelled
Jolteon's Confession: 38 days here. Not bad. Despite being labeled as the weakest link multiple times I am on an immunity run and outlasted some of the strongest people in the game.
Lucario's Confession: I was voted out in the final 10 last time and now I am in the final 4 and played a better game. No bullying or acting like a selfish jerk.
Samara's Confession: I was loyal the entire game and because of it I am in the final 4 and not a threat to anyone. I hope that no one catches on.
James's Confession: I came back once and that was my free pass. If I can survive one more I am golden and Lucario was right. Despite being voted out I continued to plan each move on Redemption Island.
Fallen Comrades
The four got to the first torch belonging to Ulric.
"He was pretty lazy." Jolteon said
"Yeah, and despite claiming to have a shout he was never impressive in the challenges" James replied
Ulric's Confession: First one voted out. This is no way to treat the true emperor of Skyrim. I should have gone to the merge before being voted out as a threat.
They then got to Carth's torch.
"I liked him" Jolteon said.
"Me too. Too bad he went before his time" James said
Carth's Confession: Does it stink that I went so soon? Yes. But I had fun while it lasted and at least I lost my duel to someone deserving to move on.
They then got to Brock's torch.
"I never knew him but I heard he was a gym leader." Jolteon said
"He was. Nice kid but I was a little uncomfortable around him." Lucario said
Brock's Confession: In the short time here I had a blast. I was even offered a spot in the next season but I declined. I spent too much time from my Pokemon and gym and I need to get back to it.
They then got to Mercer's torch.
"He never stood out despite being tougher than he looked" Lucario said
"Yeah but he hung out with the other alliance." Samara said
Mercer's Confession: If it was not for my alliance's bitterness towards Lucario I could have snuck through and gotten to the merge. This is not like the thieves guild at all.
They then got to Surge's torch.
"He was kind of a jerk." Lucario said
"Yes, he should have taken defeat with a little more dignity." Samara replied
"I heard of his electric Pokemon. He would have been fun to have on my tribe." Jolteon said
Surge's Confession: To me defeat is not an option. Never lay down. Never give up. I never gave up but I lost out to a respectable opponent in the end. Not Lucario but to Scyther. Good luck out there.
They come across Astrid's torch.
"Good riddance." James said
"I am glad I caught her." Jolteon said
Astrid's Confession: Maybe trying to take over the tribe was a bad idea. They were too independent for me and I like my subjects loyal and dependent on my leadership.
They then get to Alyx's torch.
"I miss her." Jolteon said
"Me too. She represented her season well. Sad to see her go first in the merge." Lucario said
Alyx's Confession: That stinks I did not go as far but I had a great time and even though I do not need the money I came here for the experience.
They then walked up to Miranda's torch.
"She was very bossy" Lucario said
"Yes but she was an alliance member who you betrayed." Samara said
Miranda's Confession: I guess that you cannot be over confident. Because you could have the biggest alliance in the world and then some idiot would use an idol on you.
They come across Revan's torch next.
"That guy or girl was weird" James said
"True but he never betrayed us." Samara said
"Can you just drop it" Lucario replied to Samara
Revan's Confession: I should have gone farther into the game. I played a good game and kept under the radar but I guess this stuff can happen.
They then walk up to Mordin's torch.
"I know this guy. He is brilliant. Could have won too if he survived Ishi and Grayson." James said
"I know. I respect him a lot." Samara said
Mordin's Confession: Fun game but I over think the results a few times and underthink other times. Still got far despite being a threat.
They then went up to Farkas's torch.
"Great guy. A little quiet." James said
"I liked how he was fine with being voted off and never was bitter" Jolteon said
Farkas's Confession: I regret nothing since coming into this game. I showed them what I am made of and I made some money off it. Not bad. I think of it as a Companions Job that takes a few weeks to complete.
They then got to Grayson's torch.
"What a jerk." Samara said "Fouled mouth and ride."
"He was okay but had anger issues" Lucario said
Grayson's Confession: Another confession? Listen I am trying to sleep. I gave like 100 already. I am voted out. Leave me alone!
They walked up to Ishi's torch.
"I really wish they he did not play flipper." James said
"But we got him in the end." Jolteon said
Ishi's Confession: I am not bitter for leaving the game. I am frustrated that I lasted 10 seconds into the challenge and Grayson startled me. I still think I played a good game.
They walked up to the last torch belonging to Scyther.
"Aww sorry Scyther" Jolteon said
"He was a good player and great ally." James said
Scyther's Confession: No Redemption Island this time no problem I was glad to have a second chance and this game can be added to the list of experiences I had as a Pokemon.
The four entered immunity.
Immunity Challenge Day 38
"Welcome to immunity. Today's challenge will have you balancing a pot on your head. Every 30 minutes we will change pots to a thinner longer pot. Last one left is guaranteed to get into the final 3. Let's get started." Nighteye said as all four started to balance pots on their heads.
15 minutes into the challenge.
Samara coughed and the pot fell from her head.
"Does not matter. I believe that I am safe anyways" Samara said
"Samara is out." Nigheye said. "I usually would ask you guys something but you all seem to be in deep thought."
30 minutes into the challenge.
"Everyone remove the first pot and put the second one on you." Nighteye said as Jolteon tries to balance the second put but it falls. "Jolteon is out and we are down to two."
"Aww" Jolteon said
"Only Lucario and James are left." Nighteye said as the wind picked up. "Wind is at 20 miles per hour. Got to stay perfectly still." Suddenly someone drops their pot
"James wins immunity! Safe for the final Tribal Council." Nighteye yelled
"YES!" James yelled happy
"Congratulations James you are safe however for everyone else one of you will not make it to the finale. You have the evening to think about it." Nighteye said "head back to camp."
Tribe Tribe Day 38
The tribe came back to camp with some members panicking as Lucario and Samara split off.
"We have to vote Jolteon tonight. No way around that." Lucario said
"Okay, I have no choice otherwise." Samara said
Lucario's Confession: I hate to do this but Jolteon has to go. She is the biggest threat that is not immune. She played a good game both strategic and social wise. Most likely it will go to a tie breaker tonight.
"Well I have to prepare a tie breaker." Lucario said
"Okay have fun." Samara said as Jolteon and James met up.
James's Confession: I did it! I am in the finals and now to keep a promise to Jolteon. The other alliance will vote for her and I could vote out Samara but I want Lucario gone. Samara is no threat but Lucario is.
"So the plan is to vote for Lucario." James said
"Not Samara?" Jolteon asked
"No, Lucario is a huge threat. I am sorry but this is the only way to save you." James said
"I understand" Jolteon said
Jolteon's Confession: I managed to forgive James and hopefully he will save me. I doubt Lucario and Samara will vote for each especially when I am currently the biggest threat left in the game.
While Lucario is packing James met with Samara.
"So do you really think you can beat Lucario?" James asked
"Maybe" Samara said
"Well he proved to be disloyal while me and Jolteon have been loyal to each other. You are not being targeted but this is your best chance to make a move." James said
"Right" Samara said
Samara's Confession: I hate to show my thoughts to James but he did make some points. Lucario has been disloyal a couple of times. Besides I might be tempted to flip however I am still with Lucario's alliance. Such choices.
Tribal Council #15
"Welcome to Tribal Council. Here is the jury, Alyx, Miranda, Revan, Mordin, Farkas, Grayson, Ishi, and Scyther voted out last night. So James here you are going into the final 3. With you being voted out already does that give you a disadvantage?"
"Yes it does but Lucario was correct I was plotting ever move on Redemption Island." James said "And now I am in the final 3 making some pretty bold but important moves."
"Lucario once again you came in second and that was the final immunity challenge." Nighteye noted
"True, I did not win a single challenge however I am confident that if I was in Redemption I probably would be doing better." Lucario said
"So you are saying that you did not try?" James said
"I did try but I was against many. If I was against few the odds would be in my favor." Lucario responded
"Jolteon last tribal council your ally was voted off. Do you think you are next?" Nighteye asked
"Yes, I know that I will get two votes. I had a great social and strategy game according to them but hopefully I can make it past this." Jolteon said
"So Samara will this be a tough vote?" Nighteye asked
"A little tougher then what some people think." Samara responded.
"It is time to vote. James you are up first." Nighteye said as James goes up and votes.
Lucario
"Sorry pal but it is your time to go." James said as Jolteon votes
Lucario
"I am very very very sorry." Jolteon said as Lucario then votes
Jolteon
"You've played a very good game. You should be proud." Lucario said as Samara goes up and votes.
"I will read the votes." Nighteye said getting the urn. "First vote…"
Lucario
Jolteon
Lucario
"Final member of the Jury…"
Lucario
Lucario and the jury were shocked as Lucario walks up with his torch.
"Lucario the tribe has spoken." Nighteye said snuffing Lucario's torch as Lucario walks away. "Well that was surprising even to me. Head back to camp and see you tonight."
Lucario's Final Words: I am shocked by Samara betraying me but I did play a better game and I am proud on how I played this time and despite my loss I am satisfied with my game despite not getting to the end.
Tribe Tribe Night 38
The final 3 entered camp.
"Thank you James for saving me!" Jolteon said
"You are welcome. I know that I betrayed Scyther but there was no way I could betray you." James said
James's Confession: I was not expecting Samara to flip but she did and Lucario is out. I know that Jolteon is a bigger threat but in my cut throat game play I just could not take out my closest ally who never even thought of betraying me.
"And thank you Samara for flipping!" Jolteon said as Samara lies down in the shelter.
"Whatever." Samara said
Samara's Confession: I broke the code and voted off my ally. I feel guilty but not as much as I would think. Lucario pulled off that move on us earlier so I pulled a move to eliminate him.
"Well I guess it is time for some sleep" Jolteon said
Jolteon's Confession: So overall my plan worked out. I wanted James to feel guilty so he would be forced to vote for someone else. A little mean but it worked on my end.
Tribe Tribe Day 39
The tribe spent the day relaxing as James was preparing to burn the shelter.
"Okay Jolteon everything is in place." James said as Jolteon used thunderbolt to destroy the shelter.
Samara's Confession: My plan for the jury is to tell them about my loyalty. I did not make many big moves but I think I can get Miranda's and Mordin's vote at least.
"What purpose does destroying the shelter serve?" Samara asked
"Just something some contestants do." James said as he cooks up once last batch of rice.
James's Confession: I came back into the game as the underdog and I can use that to gain some jury votes. Plus even though I was in Redemption Island I kept on planning my moves there. I need the respect for my game from the jury.
The tribe packs up and for the remaining part of the day James spent teaching Jolteon poker.
"So does a full house beat your 2 pair?" Jolteon asked
"If we had chips you would be winning." James said laughing as he was letting her win.
Jolteon's Confession: I believe that I had a better social game than both James and Samara and I was never voted out plus I made a few moves of my own. It will be tough to be beat James but I feel that I can beat him.
Final Tribal Council
"Welcome to the final Tribal Council. Here is the jury waiting for you Alyx, Miranda, Revan, Mordin, Farkas, Grayson, Ishi, Scyther, and Lucario voted out of the last Tribal Council. So it is time for the opening remarks. James start us off." Nighteye said
"Well I know my biggest criticism is that I was voted out once already however even though I was at Redemption Island I was still playing the game. I mean I helped Farkas to defeat Mordin and then could not help him because Farkas could beat me in a later challenge. I came back and defeated the Pokemon alliance and survived until the end." James said
"Jolteon you are next." Nighteye said
"I may look like an innocent creature but I did play the best game. I never once gave up or was voted out plus I took the time to know each of you plus the stress of the game never got to me. Minus Scyther being voted off but it was necessary for my survival. I played some of you and I played it well." Jolteon said
"Samara you turn." Nighteye said
"Well I may not have played a strategic game but I played a loyal game up until the end. I feel that would make me worthy of winning the million." Samara said
"Okay it is the jury phase. Alyx you are first." Nighteye said as Alyx gets up.
"Well congratulations to you three on making it. My question is what would you do with the million once you win it?" Alyx asked
"Well I would use half of it towards my retirement but I would donate half of it towards rebuilding for what the Reapers did. Hell I might have to donate the entire thing." James said
"Well I have no use for it. I have a trainer so maybe buy myself some new stuff but also donate it to build a Pokemon Park to house Pokemon who are abandoned or were rescued from abusive trainers." Jolteon said.
"I never really thought about it but maybe donate it to help young Asari in need." Samara said
"So none of you will use it a greed. I like that." Alyx said
"Miranda you are next." Nighteye said as Miranda got up and walked over.
"Well unlike Alyx I am not as happy as her to see you three. Samara when the alliance was decimated I saw you roll over and die." Miranda said.
"I did not roll over and die. I am still here." Samara said
"But even though Lucario eliminated me at least he gets my respect for pulling moves. Your one move is eliminating the one person who was protecting you." Miranda said
"Well I made it. That is what counts." Samara said
"Not good enough. Jolteon, I knew James a little before the game and frankly I like the fact that he took out your alliance of 3. Why should I vote for you?" Miranda asked
"Because I made a few major moves and no matter what I kept fighting. Even when Lucario gave me the idol I played it up and most of my moves were behind the scenes." Jolteon said
"Hope that is good enough." Miranda said walking back to her seat.
"Revan it is your turn." Nighteye said as Revan walks over.
"Hmm I hate to admit it but you three did well getting to the final 3. Now my question is simple. Other than the two with you. Who else deserves a spot in the final 3?" Revan asked
"Scyther and Lucario." James said
"Scyther and Farkas" Jolteon said
"Mordin and Miranda" Samara said
"Okay but I already know who I am voting for. I just needed a question." Revan said walking back to his or her seat.
"Okay Mordin you are next." Nighteye said as Mordin gets up.
"My mind has been made up already but I want to know what was your proudest moment in the game?" Mordin asked
"Well my proudest moment was coming back in and taking out Scyther and Lucario." James said
"Mine was finding out that Astrid almost killed James and I got her eliminated." Jolteon said
"Staying loyal." Samara said
"Not the answer I wanted to hear." Mordin said heading back to his seat.
"Okay next up is Farkas." Nighteye said as Farkas got up.
"Congratulations to the final 3 and I respect 2 of your games. James you are a great guy and fought well. Even if you abandoned me in Redemption Island I respect your game and your skills. Jolteon you maybe small but you won two immunity and continued to fight through. You never gave up. However Samara you did nothing and not once did I see you with immunity. I sorry but you are not getting my vote." Farkas said as he walked back to his bench.
"Grayson you are next." Nighteye said
"Well *beep* you all! But I do have some positive stuff to tell you. James you kicked ass when you got back. I wish it was me but you came in and destroyed the Pokemon alliance. How did you do it?" Grayson asked
"I pitted them against each other. I made them think that they would not win against the other." James said
"Interesting. Jolteon you are your alliance was the WORST alliance I have ever seen." Grayson said
"It was better than your alliance flipping and we kept it under wraps. I think we did a good job." Jolteon said
"Well I am losing to a bunch of animals." Grayson said
"Hey! Those animals were some of the best players!" James yelled "Give them a little more respect."
"I can defend myself James" Jolteon said "He is right we did play a good game."
"Well you can go *beep* yourselves!" Grayson said sitting down.
"Ishi you are up now." Nighteye said as Ishi walks over.
"Unlike Grayson I feel that the Pokemon Alliance was a smart way to go. To be honest I never expected it until it was too late. However I do give James respect for breaking the alliance. But my question is to Jolteon. Who made the alliance?" Ishi asked
"Lucario did. He came up to me and offered it." Jolteon said
"And how far into the merge?" Ishi asked
"I think right after Miranda left. He watched my back then offered the alliance after she left." Jolteon said
"Well good job with the alliance." Ishi said walking away
"Scyther you are next." Nighteye said as Scyther walks up.
"Well James I could be a hypocrite and accuse you of backstabbing me but I did the same to you so no hard feelings." Scyther said
"Same to you buddy." James replied
"And Jolteon…thank you for being a loyal ally and friend. Even if you did not vote with me I understand." Scyther said
"You are welcome." Jolteon replied as Scyther sits back down.
"Lucario finish us off." Nighteye said as Lucario gets up.
"So James and Jolteon you both deserve to be here and my questions to you were answered already. However Samara you betrayed me and despite that you preached loyalty you were disloyal to me in the end." Lucario said
"You betrayed me earlier." Samara replied
"But then I never voted for you. Maybe you should have changed your answer before claiming that you were loyal." Lucario said
"Well I do not regret my choice." Samara said
"I hope you like third place then" Lucario said walking away.
"Okay it is time to vote. Remember you are voting on who you would like to win. Alyx you are first.
Alyx goes up and votes followed Miranda then Revan and Mordin.
Samara
"You were loyal to me and I cannot decide between James and Jolteon." Mordin said as Farkas voted next.
James
"I respected your moves after you got back from Redemption. Good luck." Farkas said as Grayson and Ishi votes then Scyther.
Jolteon
"You were a good ally. I hope you win." Scyther said
Finally Lucario votes and brings back the urn.
"I will read the votes…first vote…"
Samara
Jolteon
James
Jolteon
Jolteon
James
James
"3 votes for Jolteon and James. 1 vote Samara."
Jolteon
James
"We have a tie. Mordin since you casted the vote for Samara please revote." Nighteye said as Mordin writes down a vote and gives it to Nighteye. "Winner of Redemption Island is…"
James
"YES!" James cheered as he hugged Jolteon who was disappointed but happy.
"Good job!" Jolteon replied
"The jury liked how James made a comeback since coming back into the game plus some ties with the group from Mass Effect helped. He is our tenth winner." Nighteye announced.
Voted for James: Alyx (Felt that he had a slightly better game), Farkas (Felt that James fought harder), Grayson (Did not like the Pokemon alliance.), Miranda (Previous ties with James) Mordin (Felt that James played a better game)
Voted for Jolteon: Scyther (Jolteon's ally),Lucario (Jolteon's ally), Revan (Liked Jolteon's game), Ishi (respected the Pokemon alliance)
Notes on the season. Okay I know that a lot of people felt Jolteon deserved the win and I agree. Jolteon played a better game however in the next season I did two boot lists and the Winners vs. losers season was better with James in it than Jolteon. However Jolteon will be back since I am planning heroes vs. villains. Now for the characters.
For Ishi and Grayson I needed antagonists for the merge and since Astrid was voted out I needed Ishi and Grayson who had similar back stories in the pre merge and they would have been next if the tribes merged at 10.
For Scyther I liked writing for him but he was better per merge and Redemption than in the merge.
For Luicario I wanted a Redemption Story and for the main focus to be on him. He was way more likeable but had faults and him coming in second all the time was accidental but it was amusing. However I did not want him in the final 3. I did not want him to be the next Rob or Coach.
For Samara I needed a final 3 goat and my fault with her was that she was not interesting and I made it too obvious. While Jolteon and James were both slated to be winners depending on the boot list for next season but James won it in the end and both were enjoyable to write for.
This season was supposed to be the 8th season over all but I delayed it and rewrote it. The original winner was Farkas but he did not have the personality for it so it was rewritten for James and Jolteon to get to the end. I actually enjoyed this season and it was one of my best. Then again seasons in which I do not think would be my best actually ended up doing very well like Zombie Island which a few people enjoyed. So feel free to comment.
