Peanuts Survivor: Kenya: Episode 1

By: Shannon

NOTE: I don't own Survivor nor Peanuts and if I did, I'd be driving a Porsche and living in La Jolla by now.

[The 24 contestants are driven out to a remote area in the African savannah and left to fend for themselves. Two piles of supplies await them. They are given five minutes to grab what they can carry and march to their campsite, 3 miles away.]

BOYS TRIBE

Charlie Brown: Okay guys, let's see what we can carry and what we need to leave behind.

Franklin: I know what we need to leave behind. Schroeder's piano!

Schroeder: Very funny Franklin. Now let's get our stuff and head for camp. We need to be there by nightfall.

[The boys find a hand-made stretcher to carry their things]

Linus: Let's use this stretcher to carry our stuff back to camp. We need two of our strongest tribal members to carry it and the rest will carry all the other items.

[Franklin and Schroeder are chosen as the stretcher-carriers]

GIRLS TRIBE

Lucy: Okay, move it, move it. Let's go, let's go!

Peppermint Patty: Hey, who died and made you boss?

Lucy: Shut up and MOVE IT, PATRICIA REINHARDT!

Peppermint Patty: You call me by my full name again and I will slug you so hard, you won't know what hit you! [pushes her fist into Lucy's face]

Lucy: Fine, then. You can be leader.

Peppermint Patty: All right then. Girls, let's get the heaviest stuff on the stretcher. We need two people to carry the stretcher and everyone else can carry the other things.

[Peppermint Patty and Violet volunteer to carry the stretcher]

Peppermint Patty: Marcie, you're our guide. [Hands her a map and compass]

Marcie: Aye, aye, sir!

Peppermint Patty: STOP CALLING ME SIR!

[The girls trudge the 3 mile march to their camp, carrying whatever they could hold]

BOYS TRIBE

[The boys arrive at their campsite, a red flag flying above it. Their camp consisted of a small area with a tree in the middle, surrounded by thorn bushes.]

Schroeder: We made it! YAHOO!

Snoopy: Woof, woof, woof! [Translation: It's about time. My claws are practically de-clawed]

Woodstock: IIIIII. IIII II II I IIIIIIIIIII I I I IIIIIII I IIIIIIIIIIIIII III IIII. IIIIIIIII IIIIIIIIIIIIII I I IIIII III IIIIIII. [Translation: You think that's bad, just think how it feels to fly with tired wings, buddy.]

Linus: Well, we're here. Now what?

Franklin: We set up camp, Linus. DUH!

Charlie Brown: Well, let's rest awhile first. It's not like we absolutely have to build the camp right away.

Franklin: No, Charlie Brown. Let's do it now so we don't keep putting it off.

Schroeder: Franklin, how do you forget to put up a shelter anyway?

Franklin: I don't know but if no one's gonna do it, then I'm gonna do it!

Linus: Well, you can't set up camp all by yourself. I'll go help you out.

Snoopy: Woof, woof, woof. Woof, woof. Woof. [Translation: I might as well help too. I have nothing better to do anyway]

[Snoopy, Linus, and Franklin set up camp while the rest of the tribe members relax from their 3 mile walk.]

GIRLS TRIBE

[The girls make it to their campsite, which is basically the same setup as the BOYS TRIBE. A blue flag flies over their setup.]

Peppermint Patty: Okay guys, now we're here, let's take five and go build our camp.

Marcie: Take five?

Lucy: That means "take five minutes," you dork.

Marcie: Ohhhh.

[The girls take a break, then set up their camp]

Frieda: I'm thirsty.

Violet: So am I.

Peppermint Patty: We all are. But we need to boil our water first. Did our survival kit come with matches?

Lucy [looking through survival kit]: No, it didn't. Now how are we going to boil our water?

Marcie: My survival handbook says that it would help to rub sticks together.

Violet: That'll take forever!

Peppermint Patty: But we're thirsty, Violet. I'm going to go out and find some brush and some branches. You guys set up the water to be boiled.

[The girls gather their materials and manage to start a small fire.]

DAY 2

BOYS TRIBE

Franklin [into the camera]: It's been one day here since we made it into Kenya and already I'm getting frustrated with someone. Charlie Brown hasn't lifted a finger to help with the shelter nor has he helped to find brush to make a fire. Woodstock, Linus, and Snoopy are just as helpless but if we lose immunity tonight, then tomorrow night, Charlie Brown has got my vote.

GIRLS TRIBE

Peppermint Patty [into the camera]: I was busting my guts all day yesterday and yet those vain dorks, Violet, Lucy, and Frieda didn't even bother to help. I spent most of my time doing the dirty work of making our camp and they hardly ever helped at all. If we lose immunity, then one of them will be leaving Africa tomorrow.

IMMUNITY CHALLENGE

[The two tribes meet for their immunity challenge]

Jeff: Hello and welcome to your first immunity challenge. The tribe who wins does not have to go to Tribal Council tomorrow evening and they will have an immunity idol in their possession for the next three days. Your challenge is this. There are empty wooden barrels in the distance, along with two wooden buckets. Your task is to dip the bucket into the pail of water, and pass it along to your teammates. The last person the bucket is passed to, will dump the water into the empty barrel. After that, the person will pass the bucket up to the front of the line and you will fill the bucket with water and continue to do so until the barrel overflows with water. The catch is that there are holes in your bucket and it will leak out water. Line up within three feet of each other. Survivors ready? GOOOO!

[The two tribes are off to a good start, being tied with one another. At the last moment, Charlie Brown slips into a puddle caused by the leaking bucket, giving the Girls tribe to finish the challenge and win immunity.]

Lucy: WE DID IT, WE DID IT!

Jeff [handing Lucy the immunity idol]: This is yours, you've earned it. Guys, see you tomorrow night at Tribal Council.

[A shot of the boys heading back to camp, hanging their heads in shame]

DAY 3

BOYS TRIBE

Franklin [to the camera]: I'm going to try and get an alliance going against Charlie Brown. As much as I love him as a friend, he's got to go.

[Charlie Brown is boiling water for rice while Linus and Franklin are in the distance, discussing strategy]

Franklin: Hey Linus. Do you have a good idea who you're voting off tonight?

Linus: Not really, why?

Franklin: Well, I was hoping we can form one and vote off Charlie Brown tonight.

Linus: I couldn't do that! He's my friend.

Franklin: But if we keep him, the tribe will go down in flames. He cost us immunity.

[Meanwhile at camp]

Charlie Brown [to Schroeder]: I don't know what they're talking about over there but Franklin seems to be befriending Linus.

Schroeder: They're discussing voting strategies and I think that indicates that they will be voting off one of us, most likely it will be you.

Charlie Brown: I can understand Franklin voting one of us off, but LINUS? He's more inclined to vote for Snoopy than me.

Schroeder: Well, we need to get an alliance going so that won't happen. It will be you, me, Woodstock, and Snoopy. We'll all vote out Franklin tonight.

Charlie Brown: All right then.

TRIBAL COUNCIL

Jeff: Well, guys, welcome to Tribal Council

Franklin, Charlie Brown, and Schroeder: Hi Jeff!

Jeff: I think it seems like a tense moment here. Charlie Brown, on a scale of 1 to 5, tell us how tense you are feeling right now.

Charlie Brown: I'd say a 5. It's hard to trust anyone, especially those to whom you are very close.

Jeff: All right, you guys know the rules. You go to the confessional, vote, say your piece, and come back here. Once the votes are tallied, the decision is final, and the person with the most votes must leave the Tribal Council area immediately. Charlie Brown, you're first.

[Charlie Brown votes, then Snoopy, then Woodstock, then Franklin, Schroeder, and Linus. Jeff then tallies the votes.]

Jeff: Okay, one vote for Franklin. One vote for Charlie Brown. One vote for Franklin. That's two votes Franklin, one vote Charlie Brown. One vote....Franklin. Another vote, Franklin. Franklin, hand me your torch. The tribe has spoken [Extinguishes Franklin's torch]. You guys can head back to camp now.

FRANKLIN'S FINAL WORDS

I knew my head was on the chopping block the minute Charlie Brown and Schroeder saw me talking to Linus. I guess that goes to show you that you can't betray a true friendship [about the bond between Linus and Charlie Brown].
