*~*[Name, Name] – A discussion between two or more players away from the tribal discussion at that time -[Location Name]- - A location.
Previously, on Survivor: Fiji...
The fifteen castaways all chose their tribes – One very physical tribe consisting of four men and one woman, the Degei Tribe – another tribe with four women and one man, the Tagimoucia Tribe, and the third being a tribe with two women and three men – the Dakuwaqa Tribe. In a surprise twist, the castaways were told that there is going to be not two, but one challenge mixed with immunity and rewards. The boat race back to their respected islands was on – and the first tribe to get there was the Degei Tribe, with the Dakuwaqa Tribe coming in to a close second. As the third tribe to reach camp due to Will's map reading abilities, the Tagimoucia Tribe was forced to go to tribal council.
At tribal council, Will paid for his mistake as Myrna and Shelby teamed up against him. In a plan to vote off Lea, Jeanie voted against her, and due to Jeanie not being decisive, there was a tie 2-2-1 in Tagimoucia's vote. In another surprise twist, Yolanda was picked from the winning Degei Tribe as the person to cast the deciding vote – and Will's torch became the very first to be snuffed.
Only fourteen remain – Who will be voted out tonight?
{Theme Song Plays}
\ Begin Day 4 /
-Tagimoucia Tribe-
The four women of Tagimoucia were laying down, looking around for someone to go get some water to prepare for boiling.
=()=Lea "We had our torches for the fire, but all of us were pretty stunned to realize that Will was the only one who knew where to go to get water. Guess we didn't think about that when we voted him out of here."
*~* (Lea, Jeanie, getting water) Lea: "Wanna go get some water with me?"
Jeanie: "I suppose we should. Let's go."
Lea: "That really sucks.. we had a Degei person decide the way our tribe went down."
Jeanie: "Yeah. I had a feeling it was going to be Will, though. Yolanda would have been piss dumb if she decided to take out Myrna over Will. We have no physical strong points at all." Lea: "I really really hate Myrna. I wish she could just get out of here and fast." Jeanie: "We can arrange that. Don't you think? We just have to get Shelby with us."
Lea: "That won't be easy, though."
Jeanie: "It'll be easy enough for me. You give me your word; I'll work on Shelby, and we'll take it from there. From this point on, though, no communicating with each other. Sign what you need to say if you have to; we cannot make it obvious at all that we're aligned. I expect this to be a final two thing, so as long as you can agree to that now, I'm prepared to protect your back from any approaching knives." Lea: "Deal."
=()=Jeanie "I think the alliance I made with Lea is genuine for her. Not for me, though. If I have to, her ass is gone on day 6. When I said I was going to protect her back from other knives – I am. Just not my own knife."
*~* (Myrna, Shelby, Lea) Myrna: "Lea, I just want to personally apologize for Will – I never"
Lea: "Don't apologize. It's not like we were dating or anything, so your apology is actually wasted here."
Lea walks away.
Myrna: "Well then.."
Shelby: "Just give her some time, she'll come to us."
=()=Myrna "The plan was to get Lea on our side. I can't stand the bitch – but Lea is a LOT dumber than Jeanie. So if we can get Jeanie out early, then it'll all be cake. I really do honestly anticipate to lose this next immunity challenge, because it's probably going to be a highly physical one. And our physical strength in comparison to the other tribe's.. isn't there."
-Dakuwaqa Tribe-
Bradley was the first one up, and he awoke from slumber in the mood to work. He went to fetch water, went to explore the area for berries and also carried some logs for the fire over to the camp.
=()=Maria "I thought Brad's whole thing was a good gesture... but I think it was pretty pathetic. Just let Chris and Louis tire themselves out."
Later after, his actions went unnoticed by Maria and Sara, but not by Chris and Louis.
*~* (Chris, Louis, Bradley) Chris: "Hey Brad, man. We noticed that you're a great worker, and we also noticed that Sara and Maria do shit around here. We were thinking of forfeiting the challenge, and voting one of them off. Are you in?"
Bradley: "Of course. Their lazy asses are outta here."
Louis: "Nice man. It's one for all and all for one dudes, finals alliance right here."
=()=Bradley "I don't trust Louis or Chris. If we lose this challenge, which I'm not going to forfeit for their sake, I'm going to have a tough time deciding between Sara or Louis."
-Degei Camp-
During the whole day, all five members of Degei were diligently working together singing "Joy to the World".
*~* (Nicholas, Yolanda, Jamal, Greg, Francisco)
Yolanda: Joy to the world, joy to you and me Nicholas: Joy to the world
Jamal: Woo joy to the fishes in the deep blue sea Francisco: Joy to you and me!
=()=Greg "Our tribe is very much unified. I like it in one sense, but in another, it gets VERY irritating. If we lose a challenge, I feel like I'm the one who's going to be voted off."
=()=Yolanda "Greg has previously discussed with me how he feels uncomfortable in the tribe and he called all of us a little "immature" at one point. I'm not sure how I feel about Greg now – I tried to lend out a helping hand, but all he really did was push me further away from him."
\ End Day 4 / / Begin Day 5 \
-Degei Camp-
After Yolanda went to fetch the tree mail, she told the tribe what it read.
"All of you together will perform separately, Separately it's a race against the clock
Better do this with speed, hope that luck is on your side If not, at the council one may be shocked
You cannot afford to lose anyone on the team, You cannot afford to have other people scheme"
Confused by the tree-mail, Yolanda shrugged and gathered her tribe mates. From there, they all went to Challenge Beach.
-Challenge Beach- -Immunity Challenge 2: Relay Melee- -Day 5-
Jeff Probst welcomed Degei, Dakuwaqa and Tagimoucia in and directed them towards their color appropriate mats. Jeff smiled. "Dakuwaqa, I'll need those five necklaces back." Jeff took the necklaces and winced. He then went to Degei. "I'll take this idol back."
Walking back over to where he was originally standing, Jeff smiled once more. "Immunity, up for grabs. As you all know, there are no more reward and immunity separate – they're combined. Today, this is an immunity challenge and a reward challenge – no different from your very first. Basically, what's going to happen, is each of you are going to run a single person obstacle course. Some of them moderate in difficulty. Tagimoucia, one of you is going to have to go twice, as a disadvantage for losing the first challenge.
In obstacle course number one, you'll climb your way on top of a rock, and keep running until you reach a key. Use the key to unlock a map, and use this map to direct yourself to the finish point. At the finish point, grab a flag.
Obstacle course two is a simple run towards the finish. Nothing more, nothing less. It's a pure test of speed and stamina. Grab the flag at the finish line when you're done.
Obstacle course three is in the water. You'll start out on a wooden plank, and walk your way to a floating box in the water. If you fall off, you must start over again. Once you reach the floating box, you will then take the wooden plank from behind you and row yourself to shore. Grab the flag that you find by running to it, it will be on the shore.
Obstacle course number four is a pretty interesting one, and it's based on brains, not brawn. You start out figuring out a puzzle. A basic puzzle, just fit the shapes into the board correctly and once it's complete, you will open a box with a key. You will then take this key to your next stop, 20 flags. You have two options here. Dig in each flag, or, take the coordinates on your key, and take two strings, and use that to pinpoint your exact final key. Using the coordinates will be easier if you have the knowledge of how to use them, but digging might be more useful if you don't know how to do it. Once you receive your final key from the dirt, run to the end and unlock a box with a flag.
The last obstacle course is a very easy one, but only easy in concept. Take yourself over the first wall, then crawl under wire. Swing across a mudpit, and then climb a ladder. At the top of this ladder will be a zipline. Zip down and get your flag.
After you are finished, the next person in line to do an obstacle course will go. Each course is side by side, so if Tagimoucia wants to put the same person on two back to back obstacle courses, they can do that.
When you reach the finish line, each flag will represent a different number of points. Not to be color biased, Yellow will represent 1 point, Blue will represent 2 points, and White will represent 4 points. You WANT to grab the white flag at the end. If you grab a blue flag first, you must keep that flag. Not only is it a race to the end, but it's a race to see who can grab which flags the quickest. At the end, your points will be added up and averaged by the number of people in your tribe. The tribe with the lowest averaged score will be going to tribal council, the highest will win immunity and the reward, and the second highest, or second lowest, will be receiving the immunity necklaces. Wanna know what you're playing for?"
Everyone nods, as Jeff unveils another table.
"Shampoo and other washing supplies. A shower will be delivered to your camp. Tagimoucia, I need you to decide who's doing what, and same with you, Dakuwaqa and Degei."
After everyone decided, it was time for the Immunity Challenge.
Course number one was being done by Nicholas for Degei, Jeanie for Tagimoucia and Bradley for Dakuwaqa.
"Survivors ready?" Jeff asked. "GO!"
With the sound of that, Jeanie, Nicholas and Bradley were off.
Jeanie was off to a rocky start at first, and she couldn't quite get the hang of grasping onto the side of the rock to climb. Bradley and Nicholas got a good grip of it though, and they were immediately on top of their rock. It seemed like it was going to be a Degei/Dakuwaqa finish again. Brad and Nick kept running and running, until they both reached a key. At this point, Jeanie was on top of the rock, trying to catch her breath to run. After Brad and Nicholas got their maps, they went off in two separate directions to find the finish point. Jeanie finally arrived at the key stop, and she was off in the same direction as Nicholas had went.
About a minute and a half later, Nicholas got out of the race, and he ran towards the finish, accidentally grabbing a yellow flag. "FUCK!" he yelled out. He slapped himself in the forehead, and then the next person for Degei, who was Yolanda, started to run towards the finish.
Bradley was lost, but found his way, and he and Jeanie arrived at the flag stop around the same time. However, it was Jeanie who grabbed for the white flag, and Brad got the blue flag.
[Leading: Tagimoucia] [Trailing: Degei, Dakuwaqa]
Yolanda was almost done her obstacle to the finish, Sara and Lea started for their tribes. All three women were amazing in speed; but it was obvious that Yolanda was the inferior in the bunch. However, because of Nick's speed, she grabbed the white flag before Sara and Lea arrived, and then Francisco started out in the water.
When Lea and Sara arrived, both fought over the blue flag, but Lea got it. Sara settled with a yellow flag.
[Leading: Tagimoucia] [Trailing: Degei] [Losing: Dakuwaqa]
Due to Francisco's hard build, he was unable to adequately balance himself on the plank in the third obstacle. Losing Degei's large lead over the other two tribes, Francisco quickly put Degei in last (time wise) by getting on the plank, and continuously falling off. Louis and Shelby, for Dakuwaqa and Tagimoucia, had no trouble whatsoever successfully balancing themselves. Around the same time, they both got on their box floating in the water, and began to row themselves to shore.
When Louis was halfway to shore, Shelby was far behind him. It was obvious that voting off Will was seeming to be a bad mistake for Degei. Around this time Francisco finally got around to balancing himself properly, and he was able to at least catch Shelby. Degei wasn't in last now; Tagimoucia was.
When Louis arrived at shore, Francisco wasn't too far behind. His upper body strength helped Degei greatly. Louis was the first one to hit shore, though, and noticing this, he took his time to get the white flag.
Maria would be the person doing the puzzle for Dakuwaqa. Francisco got to the shore when Maria started the puzzle, and grabbed the blue flag. Although greatly behind the others, Tagimoucia reached shore, and Shelby grabbed the yellow flag remaining. While Shelby grabbed her flag, Dakuwaqa was done the puzzle and got their key from the dirt by using two strings. Maria unlocked the box and snagged a white flag.
However, Greg, the representative from Degei, was having a very hard time completing it. It gave Lea a chance to catch up.
[Leading: Dakuwaqa] [Losing: Tagimoucia, Degei]
Lea started working on the puzzle, while Greg was still having a hard time with it. Lea finished quickly, and then went right on to the dirt. She had no time to think anymore; she took out her most useful tools in this task: her two hands. She started digging like there was no tomorrow.
Lea didn't think about it, but it may have given Degei a chance to catch up to them. Greg finished his shape puzzle, and then went on. He saw that Lea was using her technique, and decided he should take the two strings and find coordinates.
Meanwhile, Chris was already swinging across the mudpit in the final obstacle. He swung right across, zipped right down the zipline, and grabbed a white flag. Dakuwaqa finished with 15 points.
Back at obstacle four, Lea had grabbed her key first. She ran to the chest, unlocked it, and grabbed the blue flag. Fed up, Greg just ran straight to the box and got the yellow flag. Lea didn't lock it.
Myrna and Jamal were on their way, crawling their way under wire, and swinging across the mudpit. Jamal was in the obvious lead, and Myrna was falling behind. However, she caught up with Jamal after he couldn't get his zipline working. He zipped down before Mryna reached it, but Myrna wasn't too far behind. However, it was Degei that grabbed the blue flag. Tagimoucia settled with a yellow flag for obstacle number five.
After everyone was finished, Jeff Probst smiled. "Well. That was an interesting challenge, folks. Tribe number one... Dakuwaqa Tribe. In obstacle 1, you finished with a blue flag. Number two came out with a yellow flag. Three was white. Four was white. Five was white. 2+1+4+4+4 = 15. 15 points guys. Congratulations. Good score."
"Tagimoucia Tribe. In number one, you got white. Then blue. Then yellow. Then blue. Then yellow. 4+2+1+2+1 = 10. 10 points. Dakuwaqa, no matter what, you guys aren't going to tribal council."
Dakuwaqa looked at each other and grinned. All five of them were safe.
"Now, Degei. In one, you scored yellow. Then white. Then blue. Then yellow. Then blue. 1+4+2+1+2 = 10. So, we have a tie. In the event of a tie in this challenge, we would normally go with how many 4 pointers you have. You both tie with that. Then, we would go with the number of two pointers. Tied again. Then, we'd go with one pointers. Tied yet again. So, we have a complete deadlock."
"Here's what I'm going to do. Dakuwaqa, pick a member of your tribe. Any random member." Dakuwaqa picked Bradley. "Okay. Brad. Which obstacle did you compete in?"
Brad looked at Jeff, confused. "Obstacle one. The one with the rock and running." Jeff nodded.
"Who competed for Tagimoucia and Degei?" Jeff asked. Brad responded, "Jeanie and Nick I believe." Jeff nodded again. "Jeanie and Nick. Jeanie, what color flag did you get?"
Jeanie smiled. "White." She knew where this was going. Nick didn't smile as much, but still grinned. "Yellow here."
Jeff shook his head. "Well, that settles it. Thank you, Brad. Degei, because you got a yellow flag in that event as opposed to Tagimoucia's white flag, you have lost this immunity challenge. You all have a date with me tomorrow night. Dakuwaqa, expect your shower soon. You can take these supplies with you. Tagimoucia, congratulations. Sorry Degei."
All of the tribes nodded and walked off in their own directions; some, obviously more happy than others.
[Winners: Dakuwaqa, Tagimoucia] [Losers: Degei]
-Degei Camp-
=()=Jamal "Losing that challenge sucked. We didn't deserve to lose it, either. Purely based on luck and who the Dakuwaqa Tribe picked. I have no idea what's going to happen at the council tomorrow night, but hopefully I won't be on the chopping block."
=()=Francisco "At this point, I'm trying to play as under the radar as possible. Yolanda has approached me about a voting block, but I'm not sure how much faith I should really put into Yolanda. She may be the one I cast my vote for, if I'm being totally honest. Physical strength is needed for the future – and she's in the wrong tribe if she wants a tribe focusing on mental abilities."
=()=Yolanda "I'm voting for Nick most likely. It was his fault we lost the challenge. And tradition says, vote off your weak link."
*~*(Nick, Francisco)
Nick: "Hey, dude. That challenge was a doozy. I didn't expect to lose like that.." Francisco: "I didn't expect to lose at all, no one does."
Nick: "I don't know. I feel very responsible for what went down at the challenge.. if I had gotten that white flag, we might have even gotten the shower, too."
Francisco: "Don't beat yourself up. You did fantastic at the last challenge we had – that's a good enough redemption in my book." Nick: "So who are you voting for if you're not voting for me?"
Francisco: "I was thinking Jamal.. or Yolanda. Preferably Jamal, though. Out of all of us, he's the biggest threat. And I have a feeling we're gonna merge into two tribes soon... and I can't say I trust he'll stick with Degei." Nick: "That's true. He's shown disbelief in us before..."
=()=Nick "I think this first council is going to show how much power I truly do have in this game. Everyone seems to be coming to me for who they're going to vote for – and I'm the reason we lost that last challenge! I suppose I should feel bad, but I really don't. First, Francisco came up to me, saying he wanted to vote Jamal off. Then Greg came up to me, saying he wanted Yolanda axed. Then Jamal came, and said he wanted Francisco sayonara'ed. I think it's interesting how everyone is coming to me – and right now, the person I'm going to align with is the one person who didn't even come to me."
\ End Day 5 / / Begin Day 6 \
-Dakuwaqa Camp- =()=Bradley "I was actually REALLY exciting to see the shower get here."
Once the shower arrived, all five of the Dakuwaqa members took turns taking a shower, each using conditioner, shampoo, bath gel and anything else they could get their hands on.
Sara and Maria were having more fun than they should have. Laughing during their showers, they used a WHOLE lot of shampoo and conditioner, and even wrapped towels around their heads afterwards.
=()=Louis "I didn't think it was possible to have an orgasmic experience from a loofah. But oh booooy, it's possible. Just ask Sara and Maria."
-Tagimoucia Camp- =()=Myrna "It's REALLY boring here. I really wish we would have either won the shower or went to council, because there is absolutely nothing to do. If hunger doesn't kill me, boredom certainly will get me."
*~*(Jeanie, Lea)
Lea: "I'm still depressed about Will not being here. He'd be proud of us right now." Jeanie: "So true." Lea: "Next time, we really HAVE to vote off Myrna. Her fat ass is doing us no good at all." Jeanie: "Well, that's a bit vulgar, but I'd have to agree."
=()=Jeanie "I find it interesting, the animosity that Lea holds towards Myrna. I was the one who voted for HER last council – and the idiot is hating Myrna. Oh well. That's just giving me one more vote in my voting block, so it's all good. I honestly hope Tagimoucia all makes the merge, so we can go in four strong, combine with Dakuwaqa, and dominate."
-Degei Camp-
The whole tribe was barely communicating the whole day, and the self proclaimed "Godfather" of the Tribal Council, Nicholas, did no work at all during the whole day.
=()=Yolanda "He's arrogant. Simple as that. I really hope his arrogance comes back to bite him in the ass – because I have a severe distaste for it."
*~* (Yolanda, Jamal) Yolanda: "I can't stand Nick. He lost that last challenge for us, and now he acts like his shit don't stink." Jamal: "Well, that wasn't the most charming analogy, but I know what you're sayin'. It was his fault that we lost." Yolanda: "Damn straight. I'm tired of being the nice chick around here." Jamal: "You want Nicholas gone?"
Yolanda: "Helllllll yes."
=()=Jamal "I found it interesting that Yolanda wants Nicholas gone. I'm fine with it, but I didn't think she would be. They seem to bond, kind of."
*~* (Yolanda, Nicholas) Yolanda: "Alrite, so what's going down tonight?"
Nicholas: "I don't know. I was thinking of voting for Jamal, because Francisco is going to. Just a thought." Yolanda: "OK. I'll tell Greg."
=()=Yolanda "I really need to do some fast talking to Greg in order to get someone other than Jamal out. Right now, my closest ally in the game is Jamal... and if Jamal leaves, I'm stuck with Nick. NOT good."
-Tribal Council #2- -Degei Tribe-
Yolanda, Nicholas, Greg, Francisco and Jamal waltzed right into the tribal council area, each taking a look at the scenery, with an exception of Yolanda. Jeff greeted them all, and told them to take their torches and dip them in the fire. Giving his usual fire represents life speech, he continued on with the council.
Jeff: "Wow, folks. Why does everyone look so sad tonight? Yolanda, is this a hard vote or something? Judging by the look on all of your faces, you all don't want to be here."
Yolanda: "Well, that's a silly thing to say, Jeff. Of course we don't want to be here. Prior to this, we were once a united tribe, and we all enjoyed each other's presence. All our loss did was introduce to us the real part of the game. It was a reality check that was well needed for us, but certainly not wanted."
Jeff: "Nicholas. You've said before that you might partially be to blame for Degei's loss yesterday at the challenge. Feeling vulnerable?"
Nicholas: "Of course. I think anyone here should be feeling vulnerable, in actuality. There's five of us. 1/5 chance that you're gonna be ousted. That says it right there."
Jeff: "Are there any alliances yet, Nick?"
Nicholas: "Yep."
Jeff: "Care to share?"
Nicholas: "Nope."
Jeff: "Fair enough for me, I guess. Francisco, do you agree with Nick about alliances in Degei?"
Francisco: "Of course. I think the only two people vulnerable tonight are myself and Jamal, and I think that's because we're both older members of the tribe, and we're going to be threats further down the road."
Jeff: "So, you're leaving Yolanda, Nick and Greg out of that. Greg, is that accurate?"
Greg: "I wouldn't exactly say so. I feel sort of safe tonight, I'll admit, but that's only because Jamal, Francisco and Nick have made me feel safe. Yolanda hasn't really shown that she's been in any alliances – she's quiet. She plays this game smart, unlike the four men in our tribe."
Jeff: "Well, that's interesting to know. Jamal, who's going tonight?"
Jamal: "I'll have to agree with Francisco... me or him. I think our physical strength threatens the youngens, and they just got Yolanda to vote with them. And if that's the case, I don't blame Yolanda. It's an easy pass to day 7."
Jeff: "Yolanda, are you getting off easy tonight?"
Yolanda: "I guess you could say that. I think I've been overlooked in the tribe, because I have a feeling the tribe is acting as if we are THE final five in the game. We're supposed to be looking out for the goodness of our tribe – and it sucks that the person going tonight won't be our weakest link.. But that's the game."
Jeff: "Interesting, how open all of you are about your tribe. Once a tribe united, as Yolanda said, but we'll see soon enough if that unity can maintain itself. Jamal, you're up first."
Jamal smiled at the camera, and spoke his piece. "Francisco, you're a great guy. Nicholas has too much power in this tribe, and that's why my vote is for you. Sorry buddy."
Jamal took his seat, and Yolanda went to vote.
Following Yolanda was Greg, who shook his head as he placed his vote in the container.
Fourth to vote was Francisco. "Jamal, it sucks that it's gonna come down to this. We're both powerhouses, and we could help out tremendously around here. But we're not playing this game right. If I go tonight, I'm rooting for you, kid."
Last was Nicholas, who smiled and winked at the camera before taking his seat.
Jeff: "I'll tally the votes."
Jeff went to get the votes, as Yolanda stared heavily at Nicholas.
Jeff: "Once the votes are read, the decision is final. The person voted off will be asked to leave the tribal council area immediately. I'll read the votes."
Jeff pulled out the first vote, unfolded it and read it aloud.
Jeff: "FRANCISCO."
Jeff: "JAMAL."
Jeff: "JAMAL."
Jeff: "The second person to be voted off of Survivor: Fiji..."
"JAMAL. Jamal, please bring me your torch."
Jamal nodded, and stared at Nicholas while approaching Jeff with his torch. Shaking his head for one final time, he gave Jeff his torch, and Jeff snuffed it out. "The tribe has spoken".
Walking into the distance, Jeff looked at the four remaining members of the Degei Tribe.
Jeff: "I'm not sure how much this loss is going to affect you guys, but I have a feeling it won't be a minor effect. You can head back to camp."
Taking their torches, one by one, the members of Degei filed out of tribal council.
-Votes cast against Jamal: Francisco, Nicholas, Greg, Yolanda- -Votes cast against Francisco: Jamal-
~~Jamal's Final Words~~ "This sucks... severely. I honestly did not expect to be voted off. Francisco was weaker than me in challenges, and I'm younger than the guy. Oh well. It definitely was fun while it lasted, and I'm lookin' forward to see how each person progresses in the game. I never realized how tough this truly is – and I certainly have a newfound respect for all of the people still in there. I'm not sure if I could mentally last another three days.
Good luck to all left, and have a great 33 days in Fiji!"
Next time, on SURVIVOR: FIJI...
Dakuwaqa' members continue to separate even further, as Bradley becomes the swing vote for the tribe.
Tagimoucia becomes the teletubbyesque tribe, as they all start getting along.
The Degei Tribe starts to crumble, due to distrust in several members.
Who will win immunity? Who will be voted off next? Stay tuned to Survivor: Fiji, and find out all this and more!

Previously, on Survivor: Fiji...
The fifteen castaways all chose their tribes – One very physical tribe consisting of four men and one woman, the Degei Tribe – another tribe with four women and one man, the Tagimoucia Tribe, and the third being a tribe with two women and three men – the Dakuwaqa Tribe. In a surprise twist, the castaways were told that there is going to be not two, but one challenge mixed with immunity and rewards. The boat race back to their respected islands was on – and the first tribe to get there was the Degei Tribe, with the Dakuwaqa Tribe coming in to a close second. As the third tribe to reach camp due to Will's map reading abilities, the Tagimoucia Tribe was forced to go to tribal council.
At tribal council, Will paid for his mistake as Myrna and Shelby teamed up against him. In a plan to vote off Lea, Jeanie voted against her, and due to Jeanie not being decisive, there was a tie 2-2-1 in Tagimoucia's vote. In another surprise twist, Yolanda was picked from the winning Degei Tribe as the person to cast the deciding vote – and Will's torch became the very first to be snuffed.
Only fourteen remain – Who will be voted out tonight?
{Theme Song Plays}
\ Begin Day 4 /
-Tagimoucia Tribe-
The four women of Tagimoucia were laying down, looking around for someone to go get some water to prepare for boiling.
=()=Lea "We had our torches for the fire, but all of us were pretty stunned to realize that Will was the only one who knew where to go to get water. Guess we didn't think about that when we voted him out of here."
*~* (Lea, Jeanie, getting water) Lea: "Wanna go get some water with me?"
Jeanie: "I suppose we should. Let's go."
Lea: "That really sucks.. we had a Degei person decide the way our tribe went down."
Jeanie: "Yeah. I had a feeling it was going to be Will, though. Yolanda would have been piss dumb if she decided to take out Myrna over Will. We have no physical strong points at all." Lea: "I really really hate Myrna. I wish she could just get out of here and fast." Jeanie: "We can arrange that. Don't you think? We just have to get Shelby with us."
Lea: "That won't be easy, though."
Jeanie: "It'll be easy enough for me. You give me your word; I'll work on Shelby, and we'll take it from there. From this point on, though, no communicating with each other. Sign what you need to say if you have to; we cannot make it obvious at all that we're aligned. I expect this to be a final two thing, so as long as you can agree to that now, I'm prepared to protect your back from any approaching knives." Lea: "Deal."
=()=Jeanie "I think the alliance I made with Lea is genuine for her. Not for me, though. If I have to, her ass is gone on day 6. When I said I was going to protect her back from other knives – I am. Just not my own knife."
*~* (Myrna, Shelby, Lea) Myrna: "Lea, I just want to personally apologize for Will – I never"
Lea: "Don't apologize. It's not like we were dating or anything, so your apology is actually wasted here."
Lea walks away.
Myrna: "Well then.."
Shelby: "Just give her some time, she'll come to us."
=()=Myrna "The plan was to get Lea on our side. I can't stand the bitch – but Lea is a LOT dumber than Jeanie. So if we can get Jeanie out early, then it'll all be cake. I really do honestly anticipate to lose this next immunity challenge, because it's probably going to be a highly physical one. And our physical strength in comparison to the other tribe's.. isn't there."
-Dakuwaqa Tribe-
Bradley was the first one up, and he awoke from slumber in the mood to work. He went to fetch water, went to explore the area for berries and also carried some logs for the fire over to the camp.
=()=Maria "I thought Brad's whole thing was a good gesture... but I think it was pretty pathetic. Just let Chris and Louis tire themselves out."
Later after, his actions went unnoticed by Maria and Sara, but not by Chris and Louis.
*~* (Chris, Louis, Bradley) Chris: "Hey Brad, man. We noticed that you're a great worker, and we also noticed that Sara and Maria do shit around here. We were thinking of forfeiting the challenge, and voting one of them off. Are you in?"
Bradley: "Of course. Their lazy asses are outta here."
Louis: "Nice man. It's one for all and all for one dudes, finals alliance right here."
=()=Bradley "I don't trust Louis or Chris. If we lose this challenge, which I'm not going to forfeit for their sake, I'm going to have a tough time deciding between Sara or Louis."
-Degei Camp-
During the whole day, all five members of Degei were diligently working together singing "Joy to the World".
*~* (Nicholas, Yolanda, Jamal, Greg, Francisco)
Yolanda: Joy to the world, joy to you and me Nicholas: Joy to the world
Jamal: Woo joy to the fishes in the deep blue sea Francisco: Joy to you and me!
=()=Greg "Our tribe is very much unified. I like it in one sense, but in another, it gets VERY irritating. If we lose a challenge, I feel like I'm the one who's going to be voted off."
=()=Yolanda "Greg has previously discussed with me how he feels uncomfortable in the tribe and he called all of us a little "immature" at one point. I'm not sure how I feel about Greg now – I tried to lend out a helping hand, but all he really did was push me further away from him."
\ End Day 4 / / Begin Day 5 \
-Degei Camp-
After Yolanda went to fetch the tree mail, she told the tribe what it read.
"All of you together will perform separately, Separately it's a race against the clock
Better do this with speed, hope that luck is on your side If not, at the council one may be shocked
You cannot afford to lose anyone on the team, You cannot afford to have other people scheme"
Confused by the tree-mail, Yolanda shrugged and gathered her tribe mates. From there, they all went to Challenge Beach.
-Challenge Beach- -Immunity Challenge 2: Relay Melee- -Day 5-
Jeff Probst welcomed Degei, Dakuwaqa and Tagimoucia in and directed them towards their color appropriate mats. Jeff smiled. "Dakuwaqa, I'll need those five necklaces back." Jeff took the necklaces and winced. He then went to Degei. "I'll take this idol back."
Walking back over to where he was originally standing, Jeff smiled once more. "Immunity, up for grabs. As you all know, there are no more reward and immunity separate – they're combined. Today, this is an immunity challenge and a reward challenge – no different from your very first. Basically, what's going to happen, is each of you are going to run a single person obstacle course. Some of them moderate in difficulty. Tagimoucia, one of you is going to have to go twice, as a disadvantage for losing the first challenge.
In obstacle course number one, you'll climb your way on top of a rock, and keep running until you reach a key. Use the key to unlock a map, and use this map to direct yourself to the finish point. At the finish point, grab a flag.
Obstacle course two is a simple run towards the finish. Nothing more, nothing less. It's a pure test of speed and stamina. Grab the flag at the finish line when you're done.
Obstacle course three is in the water. You'll start out on a wooden plank, and walk your way to a floating box in the water. If you fall off, you must start over again. Once you reach the floating box, you will then take the wooden plank from behind you and row yourself to shore. Grab the flag that you find by running to it, it will be on the shore.
Obstacle course number four is a pretty interesting one, and it's based on brains, not brawn. You start out figuring out a puzzle. A basic puzzle, just fit the shapes into the board correctly and once it's complete, you will open a box with a key. You will then take this key to your next stop, 20 flags. You have two options here. Dig in each flag, or, take the coordinates on your key, and take two strings, and use that to pinpoint your exact final key. Using the coordinates will be easier if you have the knowledge of how to use them, but digging might be more useful if you don't know how to do it. Once you receive your final key from the dirt, run to the end and unlock a box with a flag.
The last obstacle course is a very easy one, but only easy in concept. Take yourself over the first wall, then crawl under wire. Swing across a mudpit, and then climb a ladder. At the top of this ladder will be a zipline. Zip down and get your flag.
After you are finished, the next person in line to do an obstacle course will go. Each course is side by side, so if Tagimoucia wants to put the same person on two back to back obstacle courses, they can do that.
When you reach the finish line, each flag will represent a different number of points. Not to be color biased, Yellow will represent 1 point, Blue will represent 2 points, and White will represent 4 points. You WANT to grab the white flag at the end. If you grab a blue flag first, you must keep that flag. Not only is it a race to the end, but it's a race to see who can grab which flags the quickest. At the end, your points will be added up and averaged by the number of people in your tribe. The tribe with the lowest averaged score will be going to tribal council, the highest will win immunity and the reward, and the second highest, or second lowest, will be receiving the immunity necklaces. Wanna know what you're playing for?"
Everyone nods, as Jeff unveils another table.
"Shampoo and other washing supplies. A shower will be delivered to your camp. Tagimoucia, I need you to decide who's doing what, and same with you, Dakuwaqa and Degei."
After everyone decided, it was time for the Immunity Challenge.
Course number one was being done by Nicholas for Degei, Jeanie for Tagimoucia and Bradley for Dakuwaqa.
"Survivors ready?" Jeff asked. "GO!"
With the sound of that, Jeanie, Nicholas and Bradley were off.
Jeanie was off to a rocky start at first, and she couldn't quite get the hang of grasping onto the side of the rock to climb. Bradley and Nicholas got a good grip of it though, and they were immediately on top of their rock. It seemed like it was going to be a Degei/Dakuwaqa finish again. Brad and Nick kept running and running, until they both reached a key. At this point, Jeanie was on top of the rock, trying to catch her breath to run. After Brad and Nicholas got their maps, they went off in two separate directions to find the finish point. Jeanie finally arrived at the key stop, and she was off in the same direction as Nicholas had went.
About a minute and a half later, Nicholas got out of the race, and he ran towards the finish, accidentally grabbing a yellow flag. "FUCK!" he yelled out. He slapped himself in the forehead, and then the next person for Degei, who was Yolanda, started to run towards the finish.
Bradley was lost, but found his way, and he and Jeanie arrived at the flag stop around the same time. However, it was Jeanie who grabbed for the white flag, and Brad got the blue flag.
[Leading: Tagimoucia] [Trailing: Degei, Dakuwaqa]
Yolanda was almost done her obstacle to the finish, Sara and Lea started for their tribes. All three women were amazing in speed; but it was obvious that Yolanda was the inferior in the bunch. However, because of Nick's speed, she grabbed the white flag before Sara and Lea arrived, and then Francisco started out in the water.
When Lea and Sara arrived, both fought over the blue flag, but Lea got it. Sara settled with a yellow flag.
[Leading: Tagimoucia] [Trailing: Degei] [Losing: Dakuwaqa]
Due to Francisco's hard build, he was unable to adequately balance himself on the plank in the third obstacle. Losing Degei's large lead over the other two tribes, Francisco quickly put Degei in last (time wise) by getting on the plank, and continuously falling off. Louis and Shelby, for Dakuwaqa and Tagimoucia, had no trouble whatsoever successfully balancing themselves. Around the same time, they both got on their box floating in the water, and began to row themselves to shore.
When Louis was halfway to shore, Shelby was far behind him. It was obvious that voting off Will was seeming to be a bad mistake for Degei. Around this time Francisco finally got around to balancing himself properly, and he was able to at least catch Shelby. Degei wasn't in last now; Tagimoucia was.
When Louis arrived at shore, Francisco wasn't too far behind. His upper body strength helped Degei greatly. Louis was the first one to hit shore, though, and noticing this, he took his time to get the white flag.
Maria would be the person doing the puzzle for Dakuwaqa. Francisco got to the shore when Maria started the puzzle, and grabbed the blue flag. Although greatly behind the others, Tagimoucia reached shore, and Shelby grabbed the yellow flag remaining. While Shelby grabbed her flag, Dakuwaqa was done the puzzle and got their key from the dirt by using two strings. Maria unlocked the box and snagged a white flag.
However, Greg, the representative from Degei, was having a very hard time completing it. It gave Lea a chance to catch up.
[Leading: Dakuwaqa] [Losing: Tagimoucia, Degei]
Lea started working on the puzzle, while Greg was still having a hard time with it. Lea finished quickly, and then went right on to the dirt. She had no time to think anymore; she took out her most useful tools in this task: her two hands. She started digging like there was no tomorrow.
Lea didn't think about it, but it may have given Degei a chance to catch up to them. Greg finished his shape puzzle, and then went on. He saw that Lea was using her technique, and decided he should take the two strings and find coordinates.
Meanwhile, Chris was already swinging across the mudpit in the final obstacle. He swung right across, zipped right down the zipline, and grabbed a white flag. Dakuwaqa finished with 15 points.
Back at obstacle four, Lea had grabbed her key first. She ran to the chest, unlocked it, and grabbed the blue flag. Fed up, Greg just ran straight to the box and got the yellow flag. Lea didn't lock it.
Myrna and Jamal were on their way, crawling their way under wire, and swinging across the mudpit. Jamal was in the obvious lead, and Myrna was falling behind. However, she caught up with Jamal after he couldn't get his zipline working. He zipped down before Mryna reached it, but Myrna wasn't too far behind. However, it was Degei that grabbed the blue flag. Tagimoucia settled with a yellow flag for obstacle number five.
After everyone was finished, Jeff Probst smiled. "Well. That was an interesting challenge, folks. Tribe number one... Dakuwaqa Tribe. In obstacle 1, you finished with a blue flag. Number two came out with a yellow flag. Three was white. Four was white. Five was white. 2+1+4+4+4 = 15. 15 points guys. Congratulations. Good score."
"Tagimoucia Tribe. In number one, you got white. Then blue. Then yellow. Then blue. Then yellow. 4+2+1+2+1 = 10. 10 points. Dakuwaqa, no matter what, you guys aren't going to tribal council."
Dakuwaqa looked at each other and grinned. All five of them were safe.
"Now, Degei. In one, you scored yellow. Then white. Then blue. Then yellow. Then blue. 1+4+2+1+2 = 10. So, we have a tie. In the event of a tie in this challenge, we would normally go with how many 4 pointers you have. You both tie with that. Then, we would go with the number of two pointers. Tied again. Then, we'd go with one pointers. Tied yet again. So, we have a complete deadlock."
"Here's what I'm going to do. Dakuwaqa, pick a member of your tribe. Any random member." Dakuwaqa picked Bradley. "Okay. Brad. Which obstacle did you compete in?"
Brad looked at Jeff, confused. "Obstacle one. The one with the rock and running." Jeff nodded.
"Who competed for Tagimoucia and Degei?" Jeff asked. Brad responded, "Jeanie and Nick I believe." Jeff nodded again. "Jeanie and Nick. Jeanie, what color flag did you get?"
Jeanie smiled. "White." She knew where this was going. Nick didn't smile as much, but still grinned. "Yellow here."
Jeff shook his head. "Well, that settles it. Thank you, Brad. Degei, because you got a yellow flag in that event as opposed to Tagimoucia's white flag, you have lost this immunity challenge. You all have a date with me tomorrow night. Dakuwaqa, expect your shower soon. You can take these supplies with you. Tagimoucia, congratulations. Sorry Degei."
All of the tribes nodded and walked off in their own directions; some, obviously more happy than others.
[Winners: Dakuwaqa, Tagimoucia] [Losers: Degei]
-Degei Camp-
=()=Jamal "Losing that challenge sucked. We didn't deserve to lose it, either. Purely based on luck and who the Dakuwaqa Tribe picked. I have no idea what's going to happen at the council tomorrow night, but hopefully I won't be on the chopping block."
=()=Francisco "At this point, I'm trying to play as under the radar as possible. Yolanda has approached me about a voting block, but I'm not sure how much faith I should really put into Yolanda. She may be the one I cast my vote for, if I'm being totally honest. Physical strength is needed for the future – and she's in the wrong tribe if she wants a tribe focusing on mental abilities."
=()=Yolanda "I'm voting for Nick most likely. It was his fault we lost the challenge. And tradition says, vote off your weak link."
*~*(Nick, Francisco)
Nick: "Hey, dude. That challenge was a doozy. I didn't expect to lose like that.." Francisco: "I didn't expect to lose at all, no one does."
Nick: "I don't know. I feel very responsible for what went down at the challenge.. if I had gotten that white flag, we might have even gotten the shower, too."
Francisco: "Don't beat yourself up. You did fantastic at the last challenge we had – that's a good enough redemption in my book." Nick: "So who are you voting for if you're not voting for me?"
Francisco: "I was thinking Jamal.. or Yolanda. Preferably Jamal, though. Out of all of us, he's the biggest threat. And I have a feeling we're gonna merge into two tribes soon... and I can't say I trust he'll stick with Degei." Nick: "That's true. He's shown disbelief in us before..."
=()=Nick "I think this first council is going to show how much power I truly do have in this game. Everyone seems to be coming to me for who they're going to vote for – and I'm the reason we lost that last challenge! I suppose I should feel bad, but I really don't. First, Francisco came up to me, saying he wanted to vote Jamal off. Then Greg came up to me, saying he wanted Yolanda axed. Then Jamal came, and said he wanted Francisco sayonara'ed. I think it's interesting how everyone is coming to me – and right now, the person I'm going to align with is the one person who didn't even come to me."
\ End Day 5 / / Begin Day 6 \
-Dakuwaqa Camp- =()=Bradley "I was actually REALLY exciting to see the shower get here."
Once the shower arrived, all five of the Dakuwaqa members took turns taking a shower, each using conditioner, shampoo, bath gel and anything else they could get their hands on.
Sara and Maria were having more fun than they should have. Laughing during their showers, they used a WHOLE lot of shampoo and conditioner, and even wrapped towels around their heads afterwards.
=()=Louis "I didn't think it was possible to have an orgasmic experience from a loofah. But oh booooy, it's possible. Just ask Sara and Maria."
-Tagimoucia Camp- =()=Myrna "It's REALLY boring here. I really wish we would have either won the shower or went to council, because there is absolutely nothing to do. If hunger doesn't kill me, boredom certainly will get me."
*~*(Jeanie, Lea)
Lea: "I'm still depressed about Will not being here. He'd be proud of us right now." Jeanie: "So true." Lea: "Next time, we really HAVE to vote off Myrna. Her fat ass is doing us no good at all." Jeanie: "Well, that's a bit vulgar, but I'd have to agree."
=()=Jeanie "I find it interesting, the animosity that Lea holds towards Myrna. I was the one who voted for HER last council – and the idiot is hating Myrna. Oh well. That's just giving me one more vote in my voting block, so it's all good. I honestly hope Tagimoucia all makes the merge, so we can go in four strong, combine with Dakuwaqa, and dominate."
-Degei Camp-
The whole tribe was barely communicating the whole day, and the self proclaimed "Godfather" of the Tribal Council, Nicholas, did no work at all during the whole day.
=()=Yolanda "He's arrogant. Simple as that. I really hope his arrogance comes back to bite him in the ass – because I have a severe distaste for it."
*~* (Yolanda, Jamal) Yolanda: "I can't stand Nick. He lost that last challenge for us, and now he acts like his shit don't stink." Jamal: "Well, that wasn't the most charming analogy, but I know what you're sayin'. It was his fault that we lost." Yolanda: "Damn straight. I'm tired of being the nice chick around here." Jamal: "You want Nicholas gone?"
Yolanda: "Helllllll yes."
=()=Jamal "I found it interesting that Yolanda wants Nicholas gone. I'm fine with it, but I didn't think she would be. They seem to bond, kind of."
*~* (Yolanda, Nicholas) Yolanda: "Alrite, so what's going down tonight?"
Nicholas: "I don't know. I was thinking of voting for Jamal, because Francisco is going to. Just a thought." Yolanda: "OK. I'll tell Greg."
=()=Yolanda "I really need to do some fast talking to Greg in order to get someone other than Jamal out. Right now, my closest ally in the game is Jamal... and if Jamal leaves, I'm stuck with Nick. NOT good."
-Tribal Council #2- -Degei Tribe-
Yolanda, Nicholas, Greg, Francisco and Jamal waltzed right into the tribal council area, each taking a look at the scenery, with an exception of Yolanda. Jeff greeted them all, and told them to take their torches and dip them in the fire. Giving his usual fire represents life speech, he continued on with the council.
Jeff: "Wow, folks. Why does everyone look so sad tonight? Yolanda, is this a hard vote or something? Judging by the look on all of your faces, you all don't want to be here."
Yolanda: "Well, that's a silly thing to say, Jeff. Of course we don't want to be here. Prior to this, we were once a united tribe, and we all enjoyed each other's presence. All our loss did was introduce to us the real part of the game. It was a reality check that was well needed for us, but certainly not wanted."
Jeff: "Nicholas. You've said before that you might partially be to blame for Degei's loss yesterday at the challenge. Feeling vulnerable?"
Nicholas: "Of course. I think anyone here should be feeling vulnerable, in actuality. There's five of us. 1/5 chance that you're gonna be ousted. That says it right there."
Jeff: "Are there any alliances yet, Nick?"
Nicholas: "Yep."
Jeff: "Care to share?"
Nicholas: "Nope."
Jeff: "Fair enough for me, I guess. Francisco, do you agree with Nick about alliances in Degei?"
Francisco: "Of course. I think the only two people vulnerable tonight are myself and Jamal, and I think that's because we're both older members of the tribe, and we're going to be threats further down the road."
Jeff: "So, you're leaving Yolanda, Nick and Greg out of that. Greg, is that accurate?"
Greg: "I wouldn't exactly say so. I feel sort of safe tonight, I'll admit, but that's only because Jamal, Francisco and Nick have made me feel safe. Yolanda hasn't really shown that she's been in any alliances – she's quiet. She plays this game smart, unlike the four men in our tribe."
Jeff: "Well, that's interesting to know. Jamal, who's going tonight?"
Jamal: "I'll have to agree with Francisco... me or him. I think our physical strength threatens the youngens, and they just got Yolanda to vote with them. And if that's the case, I don't blame Yolanda. It's an easy pass to day 7."
Jeff: "Yolanda, are you getting off easy tonight?"
Yolanda: "I guess you could say that. I think I've been overlooked in the tribe, because I have a feeling the tribe is acting as if we are THE final five in the game. We're supposed to be looking out for the goodness of our tribe – and it sucks that the person going tonight won't be our weakest link.. But that's the game."
Jeff: "Interesting, how open all of you are about your tribe. Once a tribe united, as Yolanda said, but we'll see soon enough if that unity can maintain itself. Jamal, you're up first."
Jamal smiled at the camera, and spoke his piece. "Francisco, you're a great guy. Nicholas has too much power in this tribe, and that's why my vote is for you. Sorry buddy."
Jamal took his seat, and Yolanda went to vote.
Following Yolanda was Greg, who shook his head as he placed his vote in the container.
Fourth to vote was Francisco. "Jamal, it sucks that it's gonna come down to this. We're both powerhouses, and we could help out tremendously around here. But we're not playing this game right. If I go tonight, I'm rooting for you, kid."
Last was Nicholas, who smiled and winked at the camera before taking his seat.
Jeff: "I'll tally the votes."
Jeff went to get the votes, as Yolanda stared heavily at Nicholas.
Jeff: "Once the votes are read, the decision is final. The person voted off will be asked to leave the tribal council area immediately. I'll read the votes."
Jeff pulled out the first vote, unfolded it and read it aloud.
Jeff: "FRANCISCO."
Jeff: "JAMAL."
Jeff: "JAMAL."
Jeff: "The second person to be voted off of Survivor: Fiji..."
"JAMAL. Jamal, please bring me your torch."
Jamal nodded, and stared at Nicholas while approaching Jeff with his torch. Shaking his head for one final time, he gave Jeff his torch, and Jeff snuffed it out. "The tribe has spoken".
Walking into the distance, Jeff looked at the four remaining members of the Degei Tribe.
Jeff: "I'm not sure how much this loss is going to affect you guys, but I have a feeling it won't be a minor effect. You can head back to camp."
Taking their torches, one by one, the members of Degei filed out of tribal council.
-Votes cast against Jamal: Francisco, Nicholas, Greg, Yolanda- -Votes cast against Francisco: Jamal-
~~Jamal's Final Words~~ "This sucks... severely. I honestly did not expect to be voted off. Francisco was weaker than me in challenges, and I'm younger than the guy. Oh well. It definitely was fun while it lasted, and I'm lookin' forward to see how each person progresses in the game. I never realized how tough this truly is – and I certainly have a newfound respect for all of the people still in there. I'm not sure if I could mentally last another three days.
Good luck to all left, and have a great 33 days in Fiji!"
Next time, on SURVIVOR: FIJI...
Dakuwaqa' members continue to separate even further, as Bradley becomes the swing vote for the tribe.
Tagimoucia becomes the teletubbyesque tribe, as they all start getting along.
The Degei Tribe starts to crumble, due to distrust in several members.
Who will win immunity? Who will be voted off next? Stay tuned to Survivor: Fiji, and find out all this and more!
