Episode 2
I See Your Reasoning
Day 4
Hunters Tribe
(Sebastian, Giselle, Bisky, Ragyo, Yukari, Tsunade, Joseph)
Tsunade and Joseph furious the next morning, knowing that Giselle flipped on their alliance.
"You idiot!" Tsunade says. "Do you realize what you've done?"
"You've put us in a deep hole, all because you were scared of a rock," Joseph adds.
Giselle shrugs her shoulders. "Maybe I will just join the other alliance then," she says. "I don't need you! I can just flip whichever way I want!"
"You're a flipper, that's what you are!" Joseph yells. "And as the immortal Dan Foley once said, 'Flippers never win.'"
"Oh, please!" Giselle says. "I don't need you!"
She walks away in a huff.
"I've won at everything I've done in life," Giselle says. "I've won 10 Pokémon League championships, seven of those coming in a row. I'm the greatest Pokémon trainer of all time, even better than that blasted Iris who won a couple of titles in my off years. If these guys don't want me, then that's fine. I'll latch on someplace else."
But Giselle finds the other alliance tough to crack.
"What do you mean, you won't let me join you?" she asks Bisky.
"We made our alliance, and we stick with it!" Bisky says. "Maybe we can let you survive for a couple of votes, but you're not going to be part of ours."
"Oh, come on! I saved your bacon last vote!"
"Bacon?" Sebastian says. "Bacon is a food that I serve often to my master. And if I didn't serve the best bacon, what kind of butler would I be?"
"Girl, you shall suffer the same fate that the losing alliance will," Ragyo states. "That is, unless you can produce something of worth."
"And what's that supposed to mean?" Giselle asks.
"You know, give us something!" Yukari says. "Like maybe a hundred-dollar bill, or a diamond necklace! Personally, I prefer pearls. Or maybe a new car!"
Ragyo shows an evil grin on her face. "Maybe you have something in your possession right now that could help you."
Giselle thinks for a moment. "Oh, right!" she says. "I have this fake idol!"
"What good is a fake idol?" Bisky wonders.
"Well, this idol in particular can be combined with a real idol to form a Superidol," Giselle explains. "So if I was able to find the real idol, I could have some real power."
Ragyo smirks. "I happen to have the real idol you seek," she states. "Just give me your fake idol, and you'll be part of the club."
Giselle's eyes light up. "Sure! I'll let you have it after the vote and make it into a Superidol!"
"Excellent, Giselle has fallen into my trap," Ragyo says. "Now she'll give me all the power in the game by allowing me to have the Superidol. Things could not be going more perfectly."
"I now have an in to a new alliance because of my fake idol!" Giselle says. "All I need to do is promise to help out Ragyo if she gets voted out. Now I'll be able to flip on my old alliance and make it farther in this game!"
Ants Tribe
(Killua, Leone, Siesta, Gary, Yui, Leafa, Bell)
Gary is busy trying to poison the tribe against Hinako.
"Hinako's going to come back with a huge advantage," he says. "She's going to have something like an idol that makes her a real threat. We've got to get her out immediately!"
"Are you sure?" Yui asks. "But she's so cute!"
"Yeah, I'm not so sure that's the right idea," Bell says.
"Listen to me, she's going to win this game if she gets to the end. You can't just hand her the million dollars!"
"You do have a point," Killua says.
"Gary is scrambling and scrambling, and in this case I think he may have a point," Killua says. "Hinako is very lovable. Everyone's going to want to see her win. If she comes back from this challenge with an idol, she may be impossible to get out the rest of the way. At the very minimum we could flush out her idol."
"These losers need to listen to me about Hinako!" Gary says. "Hinako's an even bigger threat than Ash Ketchum was last season. She's going to win unless someone blindsides her. This is the perfect time to do so – right off the bat."
Leafa, Leone, and Siesta are also talking, but about something different.
"Siesta, you need to hook up with us!" Leone says. "We're gonna make an all-girls alliance. When Hinako comes back, she joins us."
"Then all we need is Yui," Leafa adds. "I'm a little worried about getting her to vote with us because she's… out there, but she would make five."
"Sure, I'll vote with you two," Siesta says. "I want to take care of little Hinako. I was so nervous about her going away that I couldn't even bring myself to wave goodbye to her."
"You know, she might come back with an advantage," Leafa says. "And we'd rather have that advantage on our side than hers."
"Plus, Leafa's got a little secret, don'tcha?" Leone says, elbowing Leafa.
Leafa smiles. "That's right, I have this parchment that allows me to steal somebody's vote. Leone and I agreed to use it in our first Tribal Council."
"But whose vote will you steal?" Siesta wonders.
"That's what we're not sure of yet," Leafa says. "Right now we're thinking Yui or Gary. But that could change."
"That's right," Leone says. "Killua seems to be mingling with everyone, to the sense that he can't be trusted. I see him over there right now, hanging out with Gary. So we could steal it from him. But that's the fun of it! Keep those guys guessing!"
"I see your reasoning," Siesta says. "I agree to keep it a secret."
"I'm not really sure what to think about this stolen vote thing," Siesta says. "I'm a little scared Leafa might steal my vote. But as long as she doesn't, I think I'll work with her and Leone. I most of all want to protect little Hinako. She's so sweet, and my goal is to keep her safe."
"It's tough to tell at this point whose vote is best to steal," Leafa says. "Gary would be my first choice – he's obviously a villainous guy who's going to cause trouble. But Yui is an enigma, and Killua seems very strategic and devious. I really don't know who to steal it off."
Quitters
(Chad, Orihime, Jasmine, Faye, Loly, Lucian)
It is utter chaos in the Badlands. Chad is starving to death. Faye is sitting around bored. Lucian looks completely on edge, while Loly is ripping apart Orihime's clothes, piece by piece. Only Jasmine keeps a cool head.
"I know I gave up the last time I was here," Jasmine says. "Not this time! I'm going to prove that I can play this game. And besides, Silver and I are struggling financially. If I can get us some money, that could really help."
Chad looks over at Loly torturing Orihime, and he sighs.
"I'm not sure if this is really worth it," Chad says. "I'm starving here. They didn't give us all that much rice. They said they would but it was clearly a lie. Now I don't know what to do."
Loly pulls up her skirt and starts to relieve herself all over Orihime.
"Stop it! Stop it!" Orihime cries.
"Yeah, there's no reason to micturate on her," Faye adds.
"'Micturate?'" Loly says, taking a break from peeing. "It's called pee! P-E-E! Say it! Why do you guys always say the word 'micturate'? It's three letters, one syllable! Come on, people!"
She then continues to pee on Orihime.
"Isn't there a rule against this?" Lucian wonders aloud to Faye.
"No clue," Faye replies. "I think the producers are just letting anything go out here in the Badlands."
"I can't take much more of this," Orihime says. "I'm being tortured here by Loly, and no one does a thing. She's such a bully! She doesn't deserve a chance at winning this game. This is horrible!"
Masadora
(Hinako)
Jet knocks on the door of Hinako's hotel room, but Hinako does not answer. He then pulls out a key and opens the door himself.
"Hinako, it is time to go to Masadora," he says.
Hinako yawns. "Hina's too tired. Hina wants some more sleep."
"Sorry, Hinako, up you go!" Jet exclaims.
He reaches out and grabs her hand, then drags her out of the hotel room. They wait in the elevator, as it takes them down to the lobby. Hinako rubs her eyes as they walk out of the hotel. She then becomes cheerful as Jet takes her into the Masadora market.
"Now that you're awake, let me explain what you have to do. You with me?" Jet says.
Hinako smiles. "Hina's ready!"
"Good. We have four Koopa Troopa shells here," Jet explains. "There are also three notes. Each of these notes has an advantage in it. You still with me?"
"Koopa Troopas are so cute!" Hinako exclaims as Jet facepalms. He then gathers himself.
"Okay, Hinako, you may risk your vote for one of these advantages," Jet tells Hinako. "But beware, pick wrong and you lose your vote."
"Hina gets it!" Hinako says.
"Here's how it works. You have the choice of Small, Medium, or Large. A Small advantage would be something like an extra vote, or a fake idol. A Medium advantage would be a normal idol, or a Legacy Advantage. And a Large advantage would be a Superidol, or a Soul Gem for the Incubator. If you choose Small, there will be three winning Troopa shells and one losing one. If you choose Medium, there will be two winning ones and two losing ones. And if you choose Large, then there will be only one winning one and three losing ones. You got all that?"
Hinako looks confused. "Does Hina get to take home the Koopa Troopa?"
Jet sighs. "I'll make it easier on you. What size of advantage would you like: Small, Medium, or Large?"
"Large!" Hinako exclaims.
"Very well then. I will shuffle the shells."
Jet shuffles the Troopa shells around.
"You may now choose a shell."
Hinako reaches out and touches the shell on the far left.
"Let's find out what's inside," Jet states.
He turns the shell on its side, and a piece of paper falls out. He then hands that piece of paper to Hinako…
…
…
…
…
…
"No vote?" Hinako says.
"Ooh, looks like you lost your vote," Jet states. "Here's how it'll work. At your next Tribal Council, you will not vote, and instead insert this piece of paper into the voting urn."
"Hina's not happy!" Hinako pouts.
"Now, let's get you back to camp."
Ants Tribe
(Killua, Leone, Siesta, Gary, Yui, Leafa, Bell, Hinako)
Hinako arrives back at camp in tears.
"What's the matter, little Hinako?" Siesta asks, rushing over to meet her.
"Hina lost her vote!" Hinako cries, sounding both sad and whiny.
Siesta brings Hinako inside the shelter, where Leone and Leafa also try to comfort her.
"It's okay, Hinako, it really is," Leafa says. "We're not going to vote you out."
"Yeah, like why would we do that?" Leone says. "You're an important part of our alliance."
Siesta pats Hinako on the head. "See, Hinako? There's nothing to worry about."
"You really mean it?" Hinako says.
"Yes," Siesta says. "Now come on, let's get you to bed."
"Thank you Sis-Sis!" Hinako exclaims.
Siesta smiles warmly.
"I guess Hinako sees me as a big sister," Siesta says. "It's an honor to be considered that way. Now I just have to keep her safe and hold up my end of the bargain."
Day 5
Hunters Tribe
(Sebastian, Giselle, Bisky, Ragyo, Yukari, Tsunade, Joseph)
Ragyo gathers her alliance of Sebastian, Giselle, and Yukari around her to tell them her plans.
"This is how it's going to go," she says. "Our first target is Tsunade, then Joseph after her. Those two are the next two out no matter what."
"Hey, why not Joseph before Tsunade?" Yukari asks.
"Because I said so," Ragyo replies.
"Sorry, that doesn't work with me!" Yukari says. "I'm a teacher, I know little kids' language when I hear it! You've got to give me a better explanation than that!"
"Just let it go, Yukari," Giselle says.
"No, I won't! I want a reason!" Yukari exclaims.
"In time, you shall see," Ragyo states.
"Yukari has shown a lack of submission to me, and for that she shall pay," Ragyo says. "But at the moment, I do not have the numbers to eliminate her. So I must wait for the right time, and then she will be voted out for daring to question me."
"You know, when someone refuses to answer a question, that pisses me off!" Yukari says. "No one should feel they're above answering questions! I know this because I'm a teacher! If my students fail to answer questions on a test, they get them wrong! Mrs. Kiryuin has just gotten this test wrong!"
Ants Tribe
(Killua, Leone, Siesta, Gary, Yui, Leafa, Bell, Hinako)
In the middle of the afternoon, while most of the players are lying around resting, Leone has an idea.
"Hey, Leafa, come with me," she says.
Leafa follows Leone out of the camp.
"What is it?" she asks.
"Wouldn't this be a perfect time to search for an advantage?" Leone says. "Everyone's too tired from the extreme heat. Now's the time to pounce!"
"I suppose you're right," Leafa replies.
The two of them walk out into the woods, and about 15 minutes into their search, they come across the same tree that Gary missed the day before.
"Bullseye!" Leone exclaims.
The two girls start digging at the base of the tree, until Leafa finally pulls out a note.
"I got it!" she exclaims.
"Great! What's it say?"
"'Congratulations, you have found information,'" Leafa reads it.
"Information?" Leone wonders.
"'In Masadora, there are four Koopa Troopa shells to choose from,'" Leafa reads. "'No matter which size of advantage you choose, the third Troopa shell from the left will always have the advantage you seek.'"
"Wow, that's really useful!" Leone exclaims.
"'You may choose to share this information with others, or keep it for yourself. The choice is yours,'" Leafa finishes reading it.
"This is really cool!" Leone says. "Now we just gotta hope we get sent to Masadora!"
"Right," Leafa says. "Or maybe we can tell the person who gets sent there what to do, in hopes that they share the advantage with us."
"Perfect!" Leone says. "This is awesome!"
"Using this info, we can snag a crap load of advantages in this game!" Leone says. "With Leafa and I working together, this should be a breeze!"
"I'm a little nervous about telling others this information," Leafa says. "What if we inadvertently end up giving an idol to a rival alliance? But I promised to play honest with Leone, so the two of us must work together. We're a team, and we'll either succeed as a team or go down as one."
Reward Challenge
"Come on in, guys!" Jet Black shouts.
The two tribes walk into the reward challenge area.
"Guys ready to get to today's challenge?"
"Yeah!"
"For today's challenge, you will take turns throwing rocks at tiles. These tiles will be hanging by ropes, and you must knock the tiles all the way to the ground. Once you've knocked down all four tiles, you'll haul them in with the ropes, then put them together to solve a puzzle. First tribe to finish, wins reward. Wanna know what you're playing for?"
"Yeah!"
Jet unveils a large amount of comfort items, including blankets, pillows, and chairs.
"Comfort, as customary. We don't want you guys to suffer. Except for the Quitters, that is. We're okay with them suffering. But the winning tribe will get this comfort, while the losers get nothing. Worth playing for?"
"Yeah!"
"Ants, got to sit out someone."
"We'll sit out Bell," Gary says.
"All right, Bell, take a spot on the sit-out bench. I'll give you a minute to strategize, and we'll get started."
The players all line up, grabbing their rocks.
"For reward! Survivors ready? Go!"
Bisky throws a rock and knocks down the first tile for the Hunters. Bell counters by knocking down the first one for the Ants.
"Each tribe has one tile down!"
Giselle throws a rock, knocking the tile almost out of the rope, but not all the way.
"Not enough!" Jet shouts. "Gotta knock it the whole way down!"
"Oh man, that sucks," Yukari says. "Come on!"
Killua knocks down the second tile for the Ants. Tsunade hits a different tile for the Hunters, but it too stays stuck to the rope.
"Still not enough!" Jet shouts. "That's not going to count."
"Bull! Bull! Bull, we say!" Yukari yells.
"Yukari, you've got the same tiles, the same ropes," Jet says.
Leafa knocks down a third tile for the Ants. Yukari steps up, throws another rock, and it too fails to knock the tile out of the rope.
"I mean, my *$#!" Yukari shouts.
"What?!" Tsunade exclaims.
"Yukari, you need to stop #$%&*ing and start throwing!" Jet shouts.
"Just hitting them as hard as we can, Jet," Yukari says.
Leone knocks down the fourth tile for the Ants.
"Start pulling those $#%&ing tiles in," Jet says.
Some of the players look a little surprised at Jet cursing, but they continue on. Ragyo knocks down the second tile for the Hunters.
"Hunters now have two &%#$ing tiles, Ants working on their $#%*ing puzzle."
Leone gives Jet a weird look, while the Ants continue to put their puzzle together. Joseph knocks down a third tile for the Hunters.
"Hunters now just one $*#%ing tile away!"
Hinako looks over at Siesta.
"Sis-sis, what does '$*#%ing' mean?" the 6-year-old Hinako asks Siesta.
Siesta quickly puts her hands over Hinako's ears. Meanwhile, the Ants continue to solve the puzzle. Killua and Gary begin to get the pieces in place.
"Ants getting very #$*%ing close to #$%*ing finishing their $%*#ing puzzle!"
Sebastian finally knocks down the fourth tile for the Hunters, but it is too late. Gary puts the final piece in place for the Ants.
"*$&%Ants… *$&#ing win $%#*ing reward!" Jet screams.
Gary, Yui, and Killua begin to celebrate, but the other girls are indignant at Jet's cursing. Siesta keeps her hands clasped tightly over Hinako's ears.
"Why are you swearing like this?" Leafa asks Jet.
"Hey, Yukari started it," Jet says.
"How dare you! There's a little kid here!"
Jet shakes his head with a chuckle. "Okay, that's enough cursing for today. Ants, come over here and take your reward."
The Ants tribe rushes over and grabs their reward. They then head on out.
"Yukari, Hunters, I got nothing for you, except one thing."
"What's that?" Yukari asks.
"$&#* you!" Jet shouts.
Yukari gives Jet the finger, then the Hunters head on out of the challenge area.
"If it was medieval times, I think we would have killed him ourselves," Leone says. "Can't do that in front of a kindergartener."
Hunters Tribe
(Sebastian, Giselle, Bisky, Ragyo, Yukari, Tsunade, Joseph)
The Hunters look disappointed after having lost a second straight challenge.
"We're losing like crazy," Bisky says. "And I'm not used to losing. We've got to get this thing turned around, and soon."
Tsunade and Joseph talk with Bisky later that night, trying to form an alliance.
"Look, I don't care what Ragyo tells you, she's not cool to be with," Joseph says.
"Oh, trust me, I don't think so," Bisky says. "I'm not as young as I look."
"If we can get just one more on our side, we can vote out Ragyo and make her look like a fool," Tsunade says.
"Yeah, but who?" Bisky wonders.
"It looks like Sebastian's in her pocket," Joseph says.
"Right," Tsunade says. "And Giselle and Yukari are complete morons."
"No, Giselle isn't stupid," Bisky says. "She's just super-arrogant."
"We may need to find an idol," Joseph says.
"Good thinking," Tsunade says. "We'll go look for one in the morning."
Day 6
Ants Tribe
(Killua, Leone, Siesta, Gary, Yui, Leafa, Bell, Hinako)
That morning, Hinako asks Siesta an unpleasant question.
"Sis-sis?" she says.
"Yes, Hinako?"
"What were those weird words Jet-Jet was using?"
Siesta breathes a deep sigh. "Jet was saying bad words. Those words are not to be used in public."
"But Jet-Jet is the host," Hinako says.
Siesta chuckles. "That's the same thing I thought," she says.
"Explaining these embarrassing things to Hinako is difficult," Siesta says. "It's one thing to play this game, it's another thing to act as Hinako's big sister. This is much harder than being a maid for Saito ever was!"
Leone and Leafa, meanwhile, talk over their plans.
"Hinako's got no vote, right?" Leone says.
"Yeah, that hurts," Leafa says.
"No problem, we've got that steal-a-vote," Leone says.
"But shouldn't we wait to use that until later in the game?" Leafa says. "It's a big advantage. Don't want to blow it right from the start."
Leone nods. "You may be right," she says. "But what, we've got three votes. Me, you, and Siesta. They've got four."
"We don't know that they're a solid four, though," Leafa says. "In fact, they may not be an alliance at all. Bell and Killua both seem open to discussion. It's only Gary and Yui I'm worried about."
"I'll try to get Bell, you try to get Killua," Leone suggests. "Then we knock 'em out with our good looks! Let our big boobs do our thing!"
"Sounds like a plan," Leafa replies.
"I'm not really sold on Leone's idea to use my giant breasts to try to swing over Killua," Leafa says. "Heck, I don't even know if Killua's gay. In any case, this plan doesn't seem to be the best. I'd rather use the steal-a-vote."
Immunity Challenge
"Come on in, guys!"
The two tribes walk into the immunity challenge area.
"You guys ready to get to today's immunity challenge?"
"Yeah!"
"First things first, I will take it back."
Hinako hands over the immunity idol to Jet.
"Thank you. Once again, immunity is back up for grabs. Also, once again, I am back to using only language suitable for television. Let's get to today's challenge."
Jet points to the challenge area, which is set up with nets, ladders, and a slide puzzle. Rain begins to pour down.
"For today's challenge, you are going to sprint through an obstacle to a sand pit. One person from each tribe will dig underneath a log to get through. The first person to get through will use a machete. You'll use it to chop a rope to unleash their ladders. The second person is penalized and must untie ropes to release their ladders. You'll then confront a Survivor pole vault, which you must use to cross one very high platform to another. You will then go down to the finish, where you will solve a giant numbered puzzle. First to finish, wins immunity, safe from the vote. Losers, Tribal Council, where somebody will be the second person voted out of Survivor: Greed Island. Let's do this!"
Jet then points to the Ants.
"Ants, you've got one extra member, you've got to sit someone out, and you cannot sit out the same person in back-to-back challenges. That means Bell must participate in this challenge."
"We'll sit out Hinako," Siesta says.
"Very well then, Hinako, take a spot on the sit-out bench. I'll give you a minute to strategize, and then we'll get started."
Hinako walks over to the bench, then the tribes line up at the start.
"For immunity! Survivors ready? Go!"
The two tribes rush toward the obstacles. Ragyo leads the way for her tribe, with Joseph, Yukino, and Tsunade close behind. Gary is the first to reach them for his tribe, followed by Leafa, Leone, and Bell.
"Once you're through the obstacles, choose someone to dig underneath the log!" Jet shouts.
The Hunters reach the log first. Ragyo taps Bisky to go underneath the log. The Ants get there about 30 seconds later, and they choose Yui to go underneath.
"This is a key part of the challenge! Whoever wins this part may win the whole thing!"
Bisky finds a way to get through first, and she rushes over to the machete.
"Bisky through first, she gets the machete!"
Bisky chops the rope, and the ladders come down. Her tribemates then follow her up the ladders.
"Yui really struggling back there!"
Yui finds herself stuck in the sand, unable to move either way.
"We once had a player have to quit due to getting stuck! Will it happen to Yui too?"
The Hunters get to the pole vault, and Bisky quickly uses it to go across.
"Hunters with a huge lead, thanks to Yui's poor job!"
Yui finally wiggles free, and she finds his way out of the pit. She then starts untying knots.
"Bisky, Ragyo, and Tsunade already across for the Hunters! Ants way behind, thanks to Yui!"
Yui finishes untying the knots, and her tribe rushes up the ladders. Meanwhile, Yukari and Giselle are across the pole vault.
"Huge lead for the Hunters! Can the Ants come back from this huge deficit caused by Yui?"
Yui rushes across the pole vault for the Ants, while Sebastian goes across for the Hunters. Then it's Joseph making it across for the Hunters.
"All the Hunters are through! Get to work on that puzzle! Ants not even at that puzzle thanks to Yui!"
Gary and Siesta get across the pole vault, but the Ants see the gap widening. Joseph and Tsunade are pushing the numbers around, while Ragyo delivers the instructions to them.
"Hunters are getting close to winning this before the Ants even get to their puzzle, and it's all Yui's fault!"
Bell and Leafa get across the pole vault. Meanwhile, Yukari starts shouting out some instructions over Ragyo, and the Hunters are getting confused.
"That row goes over there!" Yukari shouts.
"No, they go by columns!" Ragyo yells back.
"Which one is right?" Giselle wonders, while Joseph and Tsunade stand still, confused.
"Hunters are slowing down! If Yui hadn't put her tribe behind, they'd be right in it!"
Killua and Leone make it across the pole vault, and the Ants sprint down to get to their puzzle.
"Ants making a comeback, which wouldn't have been necessary hadn't Yui been so slow!"
With Yukari still shouting, Bisky runs over and slaps her hand across her mouth. Ragyo then directs Joseph and Tsunade to fix the puzzle in the correct manner.
"Hunters very close to winning! Ants should have won by now, if it wasn't for Yui!"
Joseph and Tsunade finally get the numbers in place, and the puzzle is solved.
"And that's it! Thanks to Yui, Hunters… win immunity!"
The Hunters celebrate, while Siesta puts her arm around Yui's shoulder. The space cadet Yui doesn't even realize that Jet has been insulting her all this time.
"When are we going to eat?" she asks Siesta.
Siesta simply laughs, while the Hunters continue their celebration.
"Come get it, Hunters."
Yukari dances on her way over to the immunity idol, which she picks up and holds high in the air in celebration.
"You are safe from tonight's vote-"
"Actually, we want to give it up," Yukari replies.
Jet's mouth drops open, and all the other Hunters scream out in shock.
"Just kidding! Ha ha ha. Bye-bye."
Yukari goes back to dancing with the idol, while her tribemates simply shake their heads at her. Jet's mouth remains open.
"I thought we were about to see a BIG MOVE, but as it is, the Hunters are safe from tonight's Tribal Council. Now, you'll pick rocks to see who goes to Masadora, for a chance at buying an advantage in this game."
The Hunters all grab rocks out of Jet's bag.
"Reveal!"
Giselle happens to be the one with the white rock, while all the others have black rocks.
"Giselle, you're off to Masadora. The rest of you Hunters, you can head on out."
The Hunters happily head on out of the immunity challenge area.
"Giselle, I've got a helicopter waiting for you. Head on out this other way."
"Can I just walk?" Giselle asks with derision.
"Don't mock me, or you will truly be walking the whole way," Jet says.
Giselle grimaces, then heads on out.
"As for you, Ants, I'll see you tonight for Tribal, where someone – hopefully Yui – will be the second person voted out of this game."
The Ants trudge on out.
"I don't know whose fault it was that we lost today," Yui says. "All I know is that our tribe will come together and make a good decision! And we'll vote out that person who caused us to lose!"
Ants Tribe
(Leone, Leafa, Siesta, Hinako, Yui, Bell, Killua, Gary)
Gary gathers together his alliance to go after Hinako.
"Hinako is too cute and too lovable," he tells Yui, Bell, and Killua. "She has to go now."
"I'm not so sure…" Bell says.
"Look, if we're going to give in to you, will you give in to us?" Killua asks Gary.
"What do you mean?" Gary replies.
"What I mean is, if we vote out Hinako this time, you'll vote for who we want to the next time?" Killua says.
"Sure," Gary responds. "But why do you sound so much like Sailor Mars?"
"I don't trust Gary one bit," Killua says. "He wants us to vote out Hinako, and I do agree that she's not helping our tribe much, but she's not a threat. She should be kept along for later. Too bad the other four are so solid that we can't make our way into them. I have to go with Gary, whether I like it or not."
"Killua and Bell need to realize that their only hope is voting with me," Gary says. "If they don't vote my way, they're going to get picked off one by one. Killua's too smart to not go along with me. The one I'm worried about most is that Yui."
Meanwhile, Leone, Leafa, Siesta, and Hinako get together to talk about their voting plans.
"Who are we going after?" Leafa asks.
"It's between Yui and Gary," Leone says. "Yui isn't helping our tribe in challenges very much."
"Yeah, I kind of get that point," Leafa says.
"But Gary," Leone continues, "is a conniver and a big threat. If he stays around much longer, he can wreak havoc. We can't let him hang around."
"So, we're voting Gary?" Siesta wonders.
"It will come down to how Tribal Council goes," Leone says. "If the whole tribe goes after Yui, then that'll be our choice. But if Gary tries making a move… I'll whisper to you when I know who it'll be."
"But Hina lost her vote!" Hinako exclaims.
"No worries, Hinako," Leafa tells the girl softly. "I've got this all under control."
"If we can manage to convince Gary to vote out Yui, we will be saving his skin," Leone says. "But if Gary plays too aggressively, he's going to force our hand. And we have the trump card. Not to be confused with that other Trump, of course."
"I have this steal-a-vote, which I know Leone wants me to use tonight," Leafa says. "But I'd rather save it for later. What we need is for the entire tribe to come to a consensus that Yui is the weakest link. If that doesn't happen, then we're down four votes to three. I'll have to use my steal-a-vote to give us the advantage. I'll use it if I have to, but I definitely don't want to."
Quitters
(Chad, Orihime, Loly, Faye, Lucian, Jasmine)
Loly continues to torture Orihime, peeing on her and slapping her repeatedly. Faye watches while smoking an e-cigarette.
"Where did you get the cigarette?" Lucian asks.
"It's my luxury item," Faye tells Lucian. "Plus, I'm in good with the host. He and I have been through thick and thin. He will let me get away with anything."
"You mean, kind of like how Loly is getting away with everything right now?" Lucian says in mocking fashion.
"You mean, kind of like how your queen Cynthia got away with everything in Shamouti Island?" Faye replies derisively.
Jasmine looks on at the two arguers, not knowing what to say. Suddenly they hear a voice perk up.
"Call in Jet. I can't take this anymore, I really can't. I quit."
"That didn't sound like Orihime," Jasmine says.
"No, it's me," Chad says. "I quit. I can't watch Orihime be tortured like this anymore. If the producers aren't going to step in, then I'm going to step out."
"Good, one less competitor," Faye says.
Loly looks over, gives a slight smile, then starts pulling Orihime's hair.
"My plan is working," Loly says. "Get everyone else to quit by the time it's my chance at getting back into the game, and then I'll have a cakewalk in my march to the million!"
About an hour later, Jet pulls up in a Jeep.
"Who's quitting?" Jet asks, as Loly begins pounding on Orihime's nose.
"I am," Chad says, raising his hand. "I can't take this anymore."
"Very well, then," Jet says. "Chad is quitting this game for a second time. He will never be allowed back on Survivor again, like Colton Cumbie, unless of course I change my mind. Head on out, Chad. The rest of you, you'll continue to wait here in the Badlands until I come and get you. You may still quit at any time."
Jet and Chad get into the Jeep, then they drive on out. Loly laughs, and even waves to Chad as the Jeep pulls away.
"I'm going to get through this, one way or another," Orihime says. "She can torture me all she wants. She cannot break my will. If she says that there are five lights, I'll tell her that there are four. I will not be defeated!"
Tribal Council
(Ants)
The Ants walk into the Tribal Council area, and immediately head toward the torches.
"Behind each of you is a torch," Jet says. "Pick one up and get fire. This is part of the ritual of Tribal Council. In this game, fire represents life. Once it is gone, so are you."
The players set down their lit torches in place.
"It's raining tonight, so I have this conch shell for everyone to talk into," Jet says. "Speak into the conch shell – which may or may not have a microphone inside it."
He hands the shell to Yui.
"Yui, let's face it, you were the reason your tribe lost today," Jet says.
"I was?" Yui replies.
Everyone in the tribe busts out laughing. Even Jet cannot stop from having a belly laugh.
"You stunk it up, and now your tribe is here," Jet says. "How does that make you feel?"
"Well, I don't know if it really was my fault, but I have to say that I don't like to lose," Yui says. "I prefer winning, anytime winning is an option, of course. If it's a Kobayashi Maru, then yes, I'm okay with losing, but most of the time, I prefer to win."
"How about you, Gary?" Jet says, as Yui hands the conch shell to Gary. "Who would you go after tonight?"
"Well, that's the thing, isn't it?" Gary says. "Obviously the easy vote is Yui. But I'm not too sure I want to do that."
"And why not?" Jet asks.
"Sometimes you have to use a little bit of delayed gratification," Gary says. "I need to put off voting for who may be the obvious, for who may be the biggest threat."
"I'm not so sure," Killua breaks in, grabbing the conch shell off Gary. "It is true that we can't just make the easy vote every time. But in this case, it really does make sense to make the easy vote. We can't make a rash decision here."
"Right," Bell says. "We need to make the decision that makes the most sense. We can't just vote with our feelings; we need to vote with our heads."
"Leone," Jet says, "are there multiple alliances out here, or is everyone one big happy family?"
"I'd like to think we all are!" Leone exclaims. "Ya know, it's easy to be connected whenever you're winnin'. Sadly we lost and now we gotta go after someone."
"We're hoping we can come to a peaceful solution to this vote," Siesta adds.
"Peaceful?" Jet wonders.
"What she means," Leafa says, "is that we'd like to all agree on who we're voting for. If that doesn't work, we're going to have to make a big move early."
"Ooh, I like the sound of that!" Jet exclaims, rubbing his hands together. "Like Probst, I'm all about making BIG MOVES!"
"That big move could be only moments away," Gary says. "I'm not exactly sure I want to vote out Yui, no matter how bad she did at today's challenge."
"Let's talk this over, first," Killua says.
Killua, Gary, and Bell huddle together. As they do, Leone leans over and whispers in Leafa's ear. Hinako looks sad, but Siesta hugs her and whispers something to her. The whole time, Jet is grinning. Yui, meanwhile, looks around helplessly.
"Hey, who wants to talk with me?" Yui says.
Killua then whispers a name in Yui's ear.
"Got it," Yui says.
Leone whispers to Siesta, while now Leafa has the job of consoling Hinako. Gary goes over and whispers to Yui. Killua and Bell try making signals over to Leone.
"This is nuts," Jet says.
Leone signals back to Killua, then the players all go back to their original seats.
"You guys ready?" Jet asks.
"Yeah!" Hinako exclaims.
"Then, it is… time to vote. Bell, you're up first."
"Hold on a second!" Leafa exclaims.
Everyone looks shocked as Leafa stands up.
"I've got this thing right here," Leafa says, showing Jet her piece of paper. "I have the right to steal a vote, and I'm stealing Gary's vote."
"Very well then," Jet replies, while Gary looks on in shock. "Gary, you will not vote. Leafa, you will vote twice, and you may vote for whoever you please with either vote. It is… time to vote. Bell, you're up first."
The new Tribal Council music plays as the players go to vote.
Bell goes to vote.
Hinako goes to vote.
"Hina isn't actually allowed to vote," Hinako says. "Hina has to put in this fake vote instead."
Killua goes to vote.
Leafa goes to vote.
"With my first vote, I'm voting for you, Gary," Leafa says. "And for my second vote, I'm going to vote for… hmmmmm…"
Leone goes to vote.
Siesta goes to vote.
Yui goes to vote.
After Yui comes back, Jet addresses the players. "I'll go tally the votes," he says.
Jet grabs the voting urn, then returns to his spot. "If anyone has a hidden immunity idol, and you would like to play it – now would be the time to do so."
Nobody budges.
"Okay. After the votes are read, the decision is final, and the person voted out will be asked to leave the Tribal Council area immediately. I'll read the votes."
Jet pulls out the first vote.
"First vote… Gary."
Gary simply shakes his head.
"Hinako."
Hinako looks concerned, and Siesta comforts her.
"Gary. That's two votes Gary."
Gary shakes his head again.
"Hinako. We're tied, two votes Hinako, two votes Gary."
Hinako huddles closer to Siesta.
"Gary. Three votes Gary."
Gary puts his hand on his head.
"Hinako. We're tied, three votes Gary, three votes Hinako, one vote left."
Gary stands up. "Hold on a second, there are eight of us, there should be two votes left!"
"One person's vote was not counted," Jet replies. "That person lost their vote at Masadora and had to put in a fake vote."
Gary looks on, feeling a bit better.
…
…
…
…
…
"Second person voted out of Survivor: Greed Island…"
…
…
…
…
…
"Gary Oak."
Gary grabs his stuff, then goes over to get his torch.
"Nice play, guys," he tells Leafa and Leone.
"Gary, the tribe has spoken," Jet states, snuffing out Gary's torch. "It's time for you to go."
"Smell ya later!" Gary shouts, as he runs through the rain out of the Tribal Council area.
Hinako hugs Siesta tightly, happy that she hasn't been voted out.
"Well, I love BIG MOVES, and guess what?" Jet says. "You guys made a BIG MOVE right off the bat. I can't wait to see what you have in store. Please don't cancel this season! Grab your torches, head back to camp, good night."
The players grab their torches and head back to camp. It was a good night.
"I can't believe they had an ace up their sleeve!" Gary says. "Leafa had that advantage, which I had no idea about. I guess that's what happens when you play aggressively. I didn't play aggressively enough, as it turns out. I wanted Hinako out; I should have bridged the gap with the other alliance and voted out Yui. Oh, well, at least I wasn't the first one voted out. That's something Ketchum has to live with, even if he did win. Gary was here, Ash is still a loser!"
Who voted for whom:
Bell – Hinako
Gary – No vote
Hinako – No vote
Killua – Hinako
Leafa – Gary, Gary
Leone – Gary
Siesta – Gary
Yui – Hinako
Scenes from our next episode:
Giselle goes for broke at Masadora:
"Give me that large advantage!" Giselle exclaims. "I want the big one!"
While Ragyo brings down the heat:
"We are blindsiding Giselle, while she's off getting pampered at Masadora," Ragyo states. "Everyone votes for her. She'll never see it coming."
"Sounds great!" Yukari exclaims.
And Killua tries to make a BIG MOVE:
"Gary was right," Killua tells her. "We need to get rid of Hinako while we still have a chance. If we sit on this opportunity, we may never again get a chance."
"Got it."
