SURVIVOR
Two has been voted off...
Druscilla. Riley.
Who will be voted off next?

Pre-Tribal Council
Giles-"This game is a bit more difficult than I had originally thought, b- but I must tell you that there are benefits to enjoy here. For me, it really isn't about money. I-I don't really care for money. This is like a vacation for me, really. A beach. The sun. There's no-no research involved here. No books to study through for-for whatever research there is that requires, you know, researching."
***
Cordelia-"Ohmigod! There's a spider thingie on my foot. Get it off!! Aaaagh!"
***
Jonathan-"I think I've got a pretty good alliance with Spike. But I don't know how that happened." Pauses. "Well...at least he's protecting me from Cordelia. She's been giving me a lot of dirty looks lately. And she keep calling me Jim."
***
Xander-"We had to swim out to these rafts way out in the water, and the rafts were tied in place. There were two of them. One raft for our team, and one raft for theirs." He closed his eyes and shook his head. "I told her not to do it. I told her that it wasn't the right rope, but she gave it a tug anyway. Raft came apart, we each grabbed a few bamboo poles to keep afloat and...we swam back to the beach."
***
Tara-"God, I'm-I'm really sorry." Pauses. "D-did Willow mention me? A-at all?" Smiles. "T-tell her I said 'hi'."
***
Spike-"This game is full of surprises. I want to choose this bugger to get his arse booted, then I'm changing my mind to give the ole boot to this gal, and...then I'm changing my bloody mind again! It's like back in the old days when I used to walk the streets at night with a grand ole buffet on one side and a ripe fruit stand on the other. Damn! The decisions." Shrugs. "Ah. Well...it's time to give her the boot."

The Tribal Council
Jeff Probst watched the tribe as they entered into the Tribal Council and they took usual their places. They once again all wore solemn expressions, and that was as it should be. From the expressions he saw on their faces, he could tell that they had expected to be there with him on this night.
"Well, here we are, Day 9. This is your second Tribal Council. I know you've all had a rough challenge and it didn't go as you expected." He pointed to Giles. "How do you feel about what happened, Rupert?"
Giles took off his glasses and rubbed his eyes. "I-I feel as if we should keep Tara away from rafts, or-or any type of floating device for that matter." He paused. "At least we could all swim."
"That's a plus," Xander commented.
Probst looked at Xander. "How do you mean?"
Xander blinked at him. "What? Huh? Who me?" He shook his head. "I don't have anything to say about this. No name mentioning pass these lips."
Spike rolled his eyes. "What are you afraid of? You think Red will come over here and tan your bloody hide? Is that why you won't come out and say Tara blew the challenge?"
Probst turned to regard Tara. "Is that how you see it? Were you responsible for losing the challenge, and if so, do you expect to be voted off the island?"
"Oh, well, that's a bloody brilliant work of deductive reasoning on your part," Spike replied sarcastically.
Tara glanced shyly at Probst and nodded. "I-it's my fault. I-I broke the raft and w-we had to swim back." She paused. "I-I won't be mad at anyone for voting me off."
"I'd still vote for you even if you were mad," Cordelia told her bluntly.
Tara gave her a look.
"Okay," Probst replied as he looked as Xander...you have first vote."
Xander got up. He looked at the group, looked at Probst, and then he resigned himself to the fates that be.

The votes...
Xander-"My vote is for Cordelia, 'cause she was my only other choice besides Tara who I can't vote for." Pauses. "Willow! I did not vote for Tara."
***
Giles-"Sweet girl, Tara. But you don't know a thing about roughing the outdoors."
***
Tara-"Spike...you came after my girl a few t-times, so...I don't like you."
***
Spike-"Tara, you bloody made us take a swim. Now you can take one back to the main land."
***
Cordelia-"Tara, whenever I'm trying to catch the wonderful rays of the sun, you're always standing in my light. This vote is to help you stand somewhere else."
***
Jonathan-"Tara...sorry. They told me to." _________________
Back at the Council...
Probst stood at his podium with the container. "I shall tally the votes." He pulled one out. "Tara..."
Tara looked up at him.
Then another. "Tara..."
Tara looked at Giles. Giles didn't return the look.
And a third. "Tara..."
Tara looked at Xander. He was shaking his head and mouthing the words, "It wasn't me! Please tell Willow that it wasn't me!"
And one more. "The fourth vote is for Tara. There's no reason to look at any further votes. The third member to be cast from the island...Tara."
Tara smiled sadly at the group, waved and brought up her torch.
"The tribe has spoken. You must leave the Council area immediately."
Tara walked away, defeated. The others watched her go, and most of them felt bad about the vote.
"Okay. Head on back to camp," Probst told the others. "Tomorrow's a new day."
