It's the Australian Outback, Charlie Brown, part 2

NOTE: I do not own 'Survivor' or the Peanuts' characters.

In the last episode, the two tribes set up camp and due to poor leadership and a foot injury, Lucy was voted off the Australian Outback. The boys' tribe was treated to a fried chicken dinner and the girls were forced to eat boiled rice and fish.

DAY 4 - BOYS' TRIBE

[To the camera] Charlie Brown: It's been 4 days since we came here to the Australian Outback. Lucy was voted off mainly due to a foot injury, from my understanding. That fried chicken dinner was wonderful but we all knew that we were going to be eating fish and rice the rest of the time we were here in Australia.

The boys were half-asleep when Charlie Brown came back with their mail for their next challenge.

Charlie Brown: I just read the mail they gave us.

Schroeder: Yeah, what does it say?

Charlie Brown: It's about our next challenge. It's like a relay or something.



The two tribes met two hours later, facing another obstacle course.

Jeff: This is an obstacle course but this one is going to be different from others you may have participated in.

Peppermint Patty: Well tell us about it, Jeff!

Jeff: Before I describe the game to you, you will be playing for a crate full of fresh drinking water. It should last you all for about a week or so. So, to whoever wins this, you will not need to boil water just to drink it for about a week.

Peppermint Patty: I'M CHOMPING AT THE BIT, JEFF! WHAT IS THE CHALLENGE?

Jeff: Calm down Peppermint Patty. The challenge is simple to describe, yet very difficult to do. You must run through this obstacle course or in Woodstock's case, FLY through the course to the finish line. But there is a catch. This is a relay. One person will be at the starting line with a flaming torch. You will run with that flaming torch through the obstacle course. When you see one of your tribal members in sight, you will hand off the torch to them and they will go through part of the obstacle course and hand off the torch to another tribal member and so on until you reach the finish line. If the fire in your torch goes out, then you have automatically lost the challenge. Since the girls have only 5 tribal teammates, the starting teammate will have to run a longer distance to hand off the torch.

Violet [to her tribe]: Peppermint Patty, since you are the fastest of us here, you should start us off.

Peppermint Patty: Sure thing.

Franklin: We're gonna do it guys! We're gonna beat the girls!

Linus: Let's go!

The contestants take their places. Franklin and Peppermint Patty are on the starting line.

Jeff: On your mark, get set, GOOOOOOOOOO!

Franklin and Peppermint Patty take off like rockets. Neck and neck, they ran through ditches, over rocks, and through bushes. Franklin handed the torch off to Woodstock, while Peppermint Patty continued to run the extra distance. Again, both were neck and neck when Woodstock handed the torch off to Snoopy and Peppermint Patty handed the torch off to Violet. They continued handing off to their teammates until it was down to Schroeder and Marcie. The two were neck and neck when Schroeder suddenly tripped on a rock and fell, the torch falling straight into a puddle of water, thus extinguishing it. Marcie ran the rest of the way to the finish line.

Peppermint Patty: Hey Marcie! Way to go!

Marcie: I did it! I did it! I out ran the boys!

Violet: Great job Marcie.

Linus [trying to console Schroeder]: Hey, it's okay Schroeder. We'll get em' in the Immunity challenge.



[To the camera] Schroeder: I feel like I've let the whole tribe down. If I haven't had stumbled on that rock, I would've sped up and outran Marcie. Now we don't have good drinking water and in order to quench our thirst, we would have to boil our water.

[To the camera] Marcie: It feels great actually winning an athletic competition. I do feel sorry for Schroeder though.

After the loss of the challenge, the boys continued that long process of boiling their water.

Charlie Brown: Schroeder, don't feel bad about it. Besides, we would've had to boil the water anyway so we could make rice.

Schroeder: I guess you're right Charlie Brown.

DAY 6 - 2ND IMMUNITY CHALLENGE

Jeff: Okay gang. Here's your next immunity challenge. Two members from each team will approach that table. There are grubs at that table. You will both have to eat a grub before the other person does. And since there are 15 people here, one of the girls will have to take another turn. By finishing the grub before your opponent, you will score a point for your tribe. The tribe with the most points wins immunity. The first person going for the girls tribe will have to take a second turn.

Peppermint Patty: I'll go first!

Violet: Yeah. You're the one least likely to be grossed out.

Jeff: Okay. First up.....Charlie Brown and Peppermint Patty. Ready....GO!

Before Charlie Brown could put the grub in his mouth, Peppermint Patty had already eaten hers.

Jeff: One point for the girls' tribe. Now it's Peppermint Patty against Franklin.

Just when Peppermint Patty had the grub in her mouth, Franklin had already eaten his.

Jeff: One point for the girls and one point for the boys.

After several gross moments, the teams were tied and the last pair of contestants approached the table......Woodstock and Sally.

Woodstock: IIII I III I I I IIIIIIIII IIIII IIIII III I I IIIII. [Translation: I've never seen a grub THIS BIG].

Sally: Ewwwwww.

Peppermint Patty: You can do it Sally! Just imagine it's a candy bar.

Sally [to herself]: Imagine it's a candy bar, imagine it's a candy bar, imagine it's a candy bar....

Jeff: Ready....GOOOO!

Just when Woodstock held the grub in his beak, Sally had literally inhaled the grub.

Jeff: Immunity goes to....the GIRLS' TRIBE!

Peppermint Patty: You did it, Sally, you did it!

Sally: Blech! That was gross.

Schroeder: Nice try, Woodstock.

Woodstock didn't chirp but hung his head as they walked back to camp to get ready to go to the Tribal Council.



At the tribal council....

Jeff: I never got a chance to talk to you guys.

Charlie Brown: Well, it's almost been a week and I still haven't adjusted to the life here in the outback.

Franklin: Me neither.

Jeff: Well, the bad part is that one of you guys will be leaving the tribal council tonight. You know the rules, you know the drill. Linus, you may go first.

Linus: I'm voting for Snoopy. He always tries to steal my blanket.

Franklin: I'm voting for Woodstock. Obviously, he's too small to be on our tribe and he lost the immunity challenge.

Snoopy: Woof, woof, woof, woof. [Translation: Linus STILL won't share his blanket. He's got to go].

Woodstock: IIII III I I IIIII II I II I IIIII. [Translation: I'm voting for Franklin. He keeps saying that I'm too small.]

Charlie Brown: I hate to do this, Woodstock, but I have no other choice. I'm going to vote you off. It's just merely for strategic reasons. Please don't take it personally.

Schroeder: Woodstock is a great friend but for strategic reasons, I am voting for him. He's too small and he might get hurt or something.

Jeff: Okay, the votes are tallied. Let's see who's going home tonight. One vote for Snoopy, one vote for Linus, one vote for Franklin, one vote for Woodstock, another vote for Woodstock, and finally, another vote for Woodstock.

Snoopy breathed a sigh of relief.

Jeff: Hand me your torch, Woodstock. The tribal council has spoken. [He extinguishes Woodstock's torch].


WOODSTOCK'S FINAL WORDS:

III III IIIIIIII I IIIII I I I I IIII III. IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII IIIII IIIIIIIIIIIIIIII I I II I I II IIII I I III II I IIII IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII. IIIIIII IIIIIIIIIII II I IIIII I I IIIIIIIIIIIIIII. IIIIIII III II I I IIIII II I I I IIIIIII I I I I.

TRANSLATION: I feel disappointed because my tribal teammates have voted me off. But I am thankful to be going home to my nest and a birdbath with clean water. I enjoyed my experience here in the outback.
