Previously on… Survivor…
At Masadora, Killua picked the Medium Advantage, and he was rewarded by finding an immunity plushie from a past season. He immediately shared this information with Ants Tribe members Bisky and Tsunade. Together, the three of them planned to take out Leone.
But things changed when Tsunade was injured in the infamous Schmergen Brawl challenge. Killua and Bisky found Tsunade to be an easy emergency target in case Leone had an idol. At Tribal Council, Leone revealed the puzzle piece that was a part of the Super-Duper Idol, but powerless on its own. As a result, Killua and Bisky made a last-second decision to switch their votes to the injured Tsunade, taking her out. With Sebastian a quick and painless vote over at the Phantoms Tribe, the tribes look ready to merge. Ten are left. Who will be voted out tonight?
Day 19
Ants Tribe
(Bisky, Killua, Leone)
Bisky and Killua confront Leone on her idol.
"Tell us, was that a real idol?" Killua asks. "Or was that a fake?"
"Of course it's real!" Leone replies. "Why would I lie?"
"You could have been just trying to escape that one vote," Bisky says. "Luckily for you, we didn't think Tsunade was worth keeping around in her condition."
"Well, how about this?" Killua says. "If we somehow don't merge yet, and we somehow lose the next challenge, then yeah, we're in trouble. But if we do merge, I want you using that idol first thing, to prove to us that we can trust you. If you don't use it, then we're assuming you're a liar and that you deserve to be taken out."
"No sweat!" Leone replies. "You can count on me!"
"Little do those two know that this thing's a Super-Duper Idol!" Leone says. "It was powerless last night, but they didn't know. Now when we merge, I get back together with the other Big-Breasted Alliance girls, and we spring the Super-Duper Idol on 'em and shock 'em all! It's gonna be glorious!"
"I cannot trust Leone one bit," Killua says. "However, I wanted Tsunade out too. She was part of Bisky's alliance, and I don't know if I can trust Bisky. I do know her outside the game, but there's so many secrets she hasn't told me, I have no clue if she is trustworthy. Now I have a backup plan. If we merge and everything goes to hell, I can use Leone's idol as leverage to get back together with the old Ants from before the swap. I then have the Big-Breasted Alliance as a backup plan to save my skin. Voting out Tsunade was a calculated risk, one that I expect will give me a reward."
Masadora
(Giselle)
Jet pounds on Giselle's hotel room door.
"Come on out!" he shouts. "You're twenty minutes past time already. Any more and I'm throwing you out of the game!"
Giselle opens the door, looking quite sleepy.
"You've had enough time to get ten hours of sleep," Jet says. "Is that not enough?"
"No way!" Giselle says. "You know, as Pokémon League Champion, I get twelve hours of sleep. And when I feel really sleepy, I can get up to fourteen. I can sleep as long as I want!"
Jet sighs. "Well, you've got thirty seconds to get your butt on this elevator, or to be disqualified."
Giselle frustratedly hurries over to the elevator, where she joins Jet.
"You already know how this works," Jet says, as he pushes the button on the elevator. "You choose the right Troopa shell, you earn an advantage."
"But which advantage should I go for?" Giselle says. "I gotta think about that."
After the two get out of the elevator, Jet leads Giselle over to the table with the four Troopa shells.
"Now, what are you picking?" Jet asks. "Small, Medium, or Large?"
"Well, last time I got hosed while going Large," Giselle says. "So, I'll go Small this time."
"Very well then," Jet says, mixing around the Troopa shells. "Go ahead and pick one."
Giselle reaches out and grabs a shell. She then shakes it open.
"Well, go on and read it," Jet says.
"You've found Olivier Mira Armstrong's extra vote from Survivor: Crazy Second Chance," Giselle reads. "You may use this before any vote and receive one extra vote. Be careful, though; Olivier's extra vote backfired on her. Can you reverse the curse?"
"Now, you're going to head with me to the next challenge," Jet says.
"Oh boy, another challenge!" Giselle exclaims. "I can't wait for the reward!"
Merge
"Come on in, guys!"
The three tribes come marching in, seeing Giselle standing before a challenge of some sort.
"Hunters, getting your first look at the new Phantoms Tribe, Sebastian voted out, as well as the new Ants Tribe, Tsunade voted out last Tribal Council."
Leafa looks over happily at Leone, who gives her a thumbs-up. Siesta nods her head to the two of them.
"I bet you guys know what you're here for," Jet states.
"A reward challenge?" Yukari wonders.
"You're wrong, quiz kid. Everybody, drop your buffs," Jet states. "We are merging."
The players celebrate as they fling their buffs to the ground. Leafa, Leone, and Siesta immediately embrace, with Hinako holding on to Siesta as they do. Yukari walks over to Giselle and gives her a high five. Bisky and Killua cheer, while Ragyo gives an evil grin.
"Here are your new buffs," Jet says, tossing yellow buffs to each player. "You are now the Yorknew Tribe."
"Yorknew?" Killua replies as he puts on his buff. "I like it."
"Now, you guys ready to get to what's next?" Jet says.
"Yeah!" Yukari shouts.
"Come on out!"
The Quitters Tribe players appear. Lucian is leading Jasmine and Orihime each by the hand, while Loly smirks as she comes in.
"All the remaining players in the Badlands will take part in a challenge," Jet explains. "The winner of the challenge joins the game as part of the merged tribe."
"What is with Jasmine's eyes?" Leafa says.
"And Orihime's too!" Siesta says.
"They're gouged out!" Bisky shouts.
Loly laughs. "I did a little bit of surgery on them."
"And we're going to have a little bit of surgery ourselves," Jet states. "Come on out, medical."
Captain Retsu Unohana comes running out, as does her Lieutenant Isane Kotetsu.
"Medical will heal Jasmine and Orihime before the challenge," Jet says. "As they do, let me explain the challenge. You will be attached to a rope, which you will follow through a fence. You will then have to untangle that rope from a post. Once you've got yourself untangled, you'll unclip yourself and move on to the next part, carrying the rope with you. In the next part, you'll make a rope bridge with the rope you carry, which you must not touch the ground on. Once you're at the end, you'll maneuver two balls through a puzzle maze. First player to get both balls in the correct slots wins the challenge, re-enters this game, and joins the nine Yorknew Tribe members as the tenth member of the tribe."
Unohana and Isane finish healing Jasmine and Orihime, and now both of them are in perfect shape, able to see again, with their burns from the lighter gone as well.
"I'll give you a minute to strategize, then we'll get started."
The players line up at the start and get ready to play.
"For the right to come back in the game! Survivors ready? Go!"
All four players rush out on to the course. Jasmine takes an early lead, using her small size as an advantage to getting through the fence. Orihime follows her in second place, while Lucian and Loly are struggling.
"Got to follow that rope through the whole fence!"
Jasmine gets to the end of the fence first, with Orihime trailing her by only a few seconds. Lucian finally starts to make some progress, while Loly keeps on getting stuck as she tries to crawl through the fence.
"Once you're through that fence, start untangling that rope from that pole!"
Jasmine and Orihime get to work on their ropes. Orihime takes the lead at this point, with Jasmine falling a bit behind. Lucian finally gets through the fence, and he starts working on his rope.
"Loly, really struggling out there!"
"Shut the *$%& up, Probst!" Loly shouts.
Orihime finishes untangling her rope, and she runs with it over to the bridge part. Jasmine is just about half a minute behind, and she follows Orihime over to the bridge. Lucian is about another minute behind, but he unties his rope and gets over to the bridge. Loly, meanwhile, is still trying to figure out how to get through the fence.
"Now you've got to make a bridge using that rope you were tied to!"
Orihime begins making quick work of the rope, easily making a bridge. Jasmine is having a bit of trouble with it. Lucian begins to catch up, doing a good job making the bridge. Loly finally gets through the fence, but now she's having trouble with the pole that she has to untie the rope from.
"Loly embarrassing herself out here!" Jet shouts. "She looks like she's the one without eyes!"
"$% it!" Loly exclaims.
She angrily sits down on the ground, not even wanting to continue.
"You giving up?" Jet says.
"That's right," Loly says. "It's not worth trying to come back."
Meanwhile, Orihime is the first one across the bridge. Jasmine and Lucian join her at the puzzle table only about a minute behind.
"Got to get both balls into their slots!" Jet says.
Orihime quickly gets her first ball into its slot. Lucian makes a couple of mistakes and has to start over. Jasmine tries taking it nice and slow.
"Orihime one ball away!"
Orihime starts maneuvering her ball toward the second hole. But right as she's about to get it in, she slips, and the ball drops out. Lucian uses that as an opportunity to catch up, as he gets his first ball into its slot.
"Now Orihime and Lucian are both just one ball away!"
Jasmine slowly moves her ball into the first slot, and now she has one as well. She sees Orihime and Lucian ahead of her, so she quickly starts rolling her second ball down the course. About a minute later, one of the players sinks their second ball. It is…
…
…
…
…Lucian.
"Lucian sinks his final ball!" Jet shouts. "And that's it! Lucian is back in this game, as a member of the Yorknew Tribe!"
Lucian throws his arms into the air in celebration. Orihime slowly rolls her last ball into its slot, feeling desperation. Jasmine puts her hand into her hands. Loly simply sits on the ground in frustration.
"Congratulations, Lucian," Jet states. "How does it feel to be back in this game?"
"I'm only doing this for my Queen Cynthia," Lucian says. "If I can bring her home a million bucks, she'll be pleased. If not, well, she may have my head, as she did with Sabrina."
"Go follow your new tribe out to the Hunters camp," Jet says. "Once you're there, all the previous rewards will be waiting there at the beach. Have a nice night."
Lucian joins up with his new tribe, who heads on out of the challenge area.
"Quitters, I got nothing for you – wait, check that, I do got something for you," Jet says. "If you want, you can head back to the Badlands, and wait around, with one last chance at getting back in the game sometime in the future."
Jasmine immediately nods in agreement. Orihime looks sad, but she chooses to go as well.
"How about you, Loly?" Jet asks.
"You better believe I'm going!" Loly exclaims. "I get another chance to torture these two!"
"Head on back to the Badlands," Jet says. "You will have to go and sit and wait."
Jasmine, Orihime, and Loly head on out, back to the Badlands.
"I refuse to quit!" Jasmine says. "I did that once, and I won't do it again. I don't get if both my eyeballs are torn out again, I will make it back in this game!"
"Orihime and Jasmine had a choice – a life of comfort, or more torture," Loly says. "They could have saved themselves a great deal of torment by yielding at the beginning. Man, I can't wait to start!"
Yorknew Tribe
(Bisky, Giselle, Hinako, Killua, Leafa, Leone, Lucian, Ragyo, Siesta, Yukari)
No sooner does Lucian join his new tribe that he's scheming. He pulls aside Ragyo within minutes of reaching the beach.
"I know that you are like a queen," Lucian says. "I like strong women. My Queen Cynthia is everything to me. And now I offer myself to you as your servant. I shall do your bidding."
"Good," Ragyo replies. "You shall owe me a great debt when I rescue you."
"Ragyo, she makes me weak in my knees," Lucian says. "I shall serve her, the same way I served my Queen Cynthia. I shall follow her coattails as long as she can take me."
"This fool Lucian – he thinks he's going to get somewhere because of me," Ragyo says. "In reality, he only serves as a pawn to help us get through this merge on top. He will be an easy target once we've eliminated the opposing alliance – the so-called Big-Breasted Alliance."
Later that night, once everyone has gone to sleep, Leone, Leafa, and Siesta – the so-called "Big-Breasted Alliance" – get together to talk strategy.
"How's Hinako?" Leone asks Siesta.
"Oh, she's sleeping nice and peacefully," Siesta replies.
"No, silly!" Leone exclaims. "Is she with us as an ally? Or is she detached from us?"
Siesta chuckles. "She's with us, I'm sure of it. I'm like a sister to her now."
"Great!" Leafa says. "Now, how about that idol?"
Leone laughs. "I know, right! It's a Super-Duper Idol! And it can be used even on someone who's got an idol!"
"But who besides us would have an idol?" Siesta wonders.
"Who has been to Masadora?" Leafa says. "Giselle's been there a couple of times. She could have one."
"Killua was also there," Siesta says. "He's someone who could have one."
"And Yukari!" Leone adds. "Man, I dunno who to go with."
"So, we have the three parts of the Super-Duper Idol," Leafa says. "The three of us know that we'll use it, but we don't know who to use it on. Giselle just was at Masadora, and she could have gotten an idol. Yukari was there, and she could have gotten one. And Killua hates us, and he's got one. We only get one chance with this thing, so we'd better make it count."
Day 20
Yorknew Tribe
(Bisky, Giselle, Hinako, Killua, Leafa, Leone, Lucian, Ragyo, Siesta, Yukari)
Lucian wakes up the next morning early, before anyone else. He first drinks some water out of his canteen, then he notices something sticking out of his bag. He goes over and takes a peek at it.
"Holy $*#%!" he exclaims, before putting his hand over his mouth. "Is this what I think it is?"
He pulls out the item, being the modsoul Noba. He then takes out the note attached to it.
"Congratulations," he reads the note. "This is the modsoul Noba, being an immunity plushie that Haruhi Suzumiya found and used in Survivor: Seireitei Forest. Jet Black is giving this to you the same way Jeff Probst gave idols to Rick and Chris in Survivor: Edge of Extinction. He wants you to have an extra advantage in order to make the twist pay off."
Lucian laughs, as he tucks the small plushie into his jacket pocket.
"Excellent," Lucian says. "First, I make a deal with Ragyo to be her servant and vote along with her. Then we pick off our opponents one-by-one. From what Ragyo's told me, it's the girls with the big boobs that we're after. I can't wait to get to it. And just in case of emergency, I've got this idol to keep me around longer."
Later, in the afternoon, the Big-Breasted Alliance girls along with Hinako are playing on the beach. All six other players gather around the fire to talk.
"Listen, we're eliminating one of the big-boob girls," Ragyo says. "No ifs, ands, or buts about it."
"But," Killua says, "if we vote for Leone and…"
"Killua, she said no 'ifs, ands, or buts' just a second ago," Bisky says. "You just used all three words."
Killua looks frustrated. "Let me explain what I think we should do. Leone, we know, has something resembling an idol. We don't know if it's an idol or not, but we're assuming it is. We'd love to flush it out as quickly as possible."
"Didn't you say Siesta has one, too?" Bisky says.
"That's right," Killua states seriously. "We know that Siesta has something from going to Masadora, since her vote was not cancelled out. So, whatever that is, we've got to try to flush it out too."
"So, that leaves us with Leafa and Hinako," Ragyo says. "Which one of those two shall we eliminate?"
The Student-Teacher Alliance responds with dueling answers.
"I say Leafa!" Yukari exclaims. "Personally, I hate it when these girls get to show off their boobs. It's just not fair to the rest of us!"
"No, we should go after Hinako!" Giselle says. "She looks like a brat! She doesn't deserve to win this game! Get her out now!"
"You're a great student, but this is the one thing I have to correct you on," Yukari says. "Hinako is not a challenge threat. She'll never win one, I guarantee it! Why vote her out now? We can vote her out later."
"But don't you think those girls are protecting Hinako?" Giselle says. "What better way to throw them off by voting out their precious friend?"
Yukari and Giselle continue squabbling for the rest of the day, while Ragyo looks satisfied.
"Little do these fools know that I am in full control of this vote," Ragyo says. "When I make my pick, that's the one everyone else must follow. If they don't, they will pay a steep price, as I will get them eliminated immediately. These people here are like wind-up toys to me."
The Big-Breasted Alliance has a talk of its own.
"We have the Super-Duper Idol," Leafa states. "And Siesta has the Superidol. That's two votes we can escape. Assuming all six of those people are against us, we can eliminate two of them in the next two votes."
"Right!" Leone says. "First we get 'em with the Super-Duper Idol! Send someone home without there even being a vote! Then we get 'em with the Superidol! They all vote for one of us, and Jet tells us to go get our torch, when boom! We pull out the Superidol and knock out one of them!"
"But what about Killua and Bisky?" Siesta wonders. "Do you think we could get them on our side? Then, we'd have the numbers, and we wouldn't have to use any of our advantages."
"Killua should be open to working with us, given that he was at our camp for so long," Leafa says. "And Bisky is pretty good friends with him. I'll try working on the two of them."
"No, don't bother!" Leone says. "Those two won't do it – they're haters. They don't like me very much. I say we just play the advantages – hey, we got 'em, might as well use 'em!"
"I don't agree with Leone's appraisal of the situation," Leafa says. "She loves her advantages, but she forgets that there's a social game to be played out here. I don't care what she says, I'm going to talk with Bisky and Killua and see what I can get from them."
Siesta splashes water at Hinako, who playfully splashes back, as the two have fun together.
"Hinako's like my little sister," Siesta says. "I have so much fun with her, and I want to protect her. I have possession of the Superidol, and she's the first person I'd use it on. Leafa and Leone, they're friends, but I'm not 100% sure I'd use the Superidol on one of them."
Badlands
(Jasmine, Loly, Orihime)
Loly sets up four coconuts in front of Jasmine and Orihime. She then pulls out the machete, which was one of the two things given to the players (the other being flint). She points the machete at the coconuts.
"How many coconuts do you see there?" she asks.
"I see four coconuts," Orihime replies.
"No," Loly states. "There are five. Are you quite sure?"
"There are four coconuts," Jasmine responds sternly.
"Perhaps you are aware of this beautiful piece of steel," Loly says. "By swinging this machete, I can produce pain in any part of your body, at various levels of severity."
Jasmine and Orihime start backing up, trying to find a place to escape.
"Forgive me, I don't enjoy this, but I must demonstrate, it will make everything clearer," Loly says. "Oh, forget it, I love it!"
She begins chasing Jasmine and Orihime around the Badlands with the machete, yelling at them as she goes.
"How many coconuts do you see?" Loly screams. "How many?"
"I am not giving up on this game," Jasmine says. "I just hope that I will have all my fingers and toes for the next challenge."
Yorknew Tribe
(Bisky, Giselle, Hinako, Killua, Leafa, Leone, Lucian, Ragyo, Siesta, Yukari)
Late that night, Leafa tries to talk with Killua and Bisky.
"I know, Killua, that we were on opposite alliances back at the Ants Tribe," Leafa says. "But can you understand what we were trying to do?"
"I do understand," Killua says. "I'm just not sure what you're trying to get from me."
"Look, we four girls – the Big-Breasted Alliance along with Hinako – don't have the numbers," Leafa states. "There are ten in the tribe, and you're part of the six. But what I'm trying to tell you is that you two are not in a good position. You're on the bottom of that six. Come join up with us as a new six."
"But we'd be at the bottom of that six too!" Bisky exclaims. "How does that help us even one bit?"
"There are ways to maneuver up from that six," Leafa says. "I don't quite exactly trust those other girls. You two could end up making it to the Final Three with me."
"That doesn't sound too bad," Killua says. "But I need some sort of proof that you're trustworthy."
"That's right," Bisky says. "Tell us about Leone and her advantage. She said that she had an idol, which is why we didn't vote for her."
Leafa smiles. "Oh, that? Yeah, she showed it to me too. She tricked you guys. Had she used that thing, Jet would have thrown it in the fire. You had nothing to worry about."
Killua punches the ground in frustration, while Bisky crosses her arms.
"I knew it! I knew she lied to us!" Killua shouts.
"Well, better to find out late than never," Bisky says. "Thank you, Leafa, you definitely seem more trustworthy than Leone."
"So, Leafa spills the beans on that thing that Leone had," Bisky says. "It wasn't an idol after all. We got duped. But now we know that she doesn't have one, so we can tell Ragyo that we're putting all our votes on her, instead of Leafa or Hinako. And if she's telling the truth, maybe we can work with her into the future."
Day 21
Yorknew Tribe
(Bisky, Giselle, Hinako, Killua, Leafa, Leone, Lucian, Ragyo, Siesta, Yukari)
That morning, Bisky and Killua tell Ragyo and Lucian about Leone.
"She doesn't have one after all," Killua says. "That thing was a fake."
"How can you be sure?" Lucian replies.
"Because I'm the one that knows," Bisky says. "Come on, trust us."
"I'm not sure," Lucian says.
"It is okay, my dear Lucian," Ragyo says. "I know personally that there are fake idols in this game. For example, Giselle has a fake idol. If she combines her fake idol with my real one, it becomes a Superidol that cancels out the votes for you after they are read. Perhaps that's all it is."
"Or maybe she even created it," Killua offers.
"Exactly," Ragyo says. "Later, we shall tell the Student-Teacher Alliance of our plans."
"This game is going exactly as planned," Ragyo says. "I am in full control of this game. I shall decided who gets voted out in each Tribal Council. I'm going to give my alliance a name, and that player will be the next one going home. And it's going to continue like this all the way to the Final Three, from which point I shall win the game easily. No one bests Ragyo Kiryuin!"
Meanwhile, Leafa tells Leone about her talk with Bisky and Killua.
"Oh, come on, you really didn't, didja?" Leone says. "We don't need 'em!"
"Well, I did bother with them, and now they're open to working with us," Leafa says. "That's why we have to come up with a name to tell them. Someone we'd like to go home that they'd be up for."
"Hmmm…" Leone says. "Yeah, I'd go Ragyo. She wouldn't see it coming!"
"And a backup plan?"
"I'd say Lucian."
"Works for me."
"I dunno why Leafa even bothered with those two," Leone says. "But if she thinks she's got 'em on our side, I'm happy with it! What I really want is to start using those advantages! When you got those advantages, you got to use 'em!"
"I think we're going to get Killua and Leone to vote with us, I really do," Leafa says. "And at some point I'm going to have to throw Leone under the bus, it's just how the game goes."
Immunity Challenge
(Yorknew)
"Come on in, guys!"
The ten players march into the immunity challenge area. They see a bunch of pyramid-like platforms out in the water.
"You guys ready to get to your first individual immunity challenge?"
"Yeah!" everyone says.
"First things first, I will take that off you, Leafa," Jet says.
He grabs the broken immunity idol and just tosses it into the water.
"This will be what you seek from now on."
He unveils the Immunity Beads of Subjugation.
"With these around your neck, you cannot be voted out. There is a drawback to them, of course, that we'll get to later. In the meantime, let's get to today's challenge. Each of you will stand on a pyramid platform you see out there in the water. There will be very small spots to rest your feet. At regular intervals, you will move your feet up, until you're left standing with both feet on the top. Last one standing, wins immunity, safe from tonight's Tribal Council, cannot be voted out. Losers, Tribal Council, where someone will be the eighth person voted out of this game and be sent to the jury. We'll draw for spots, then get started."
The players all take their spots on their pyramids. Ragyo is on the white pyramid, Hinako is on the red pyramid, Killua is on the orange pyramid, Leone is on the yellow pyramid, Leafa is on the green pyramid, Bisky is on the blue pyramid, Lucian is on the purple pyramid, Giselle is on the brown pyramid, Yukari is on the pink pyramid, and Siesta is on the white pyramid.
"This challenge is officially underway!"
Five minutes pass, and none of the players have even a bit of trouble.
"We'll be moving up every fifteen minutes, so prepare wisely!"
Ten minutes into the challenge, Yukari's legs start to hurt. Giselle is starting to ache as well.
"Almost at the first interval!"
At the fifteen-minute mark, the players begin to make their move up the pyramid.
"You've got 30 seconds to get your feet onto the next-highest slot!"
As Yukari tries to move on up, she slips up and ends up falling into the water. Giselle similarly has trouble, and she ends up splashing in as well.
"Just like that, the Student-Teacher Alliance is out of this challenge!"
Yukari and Giselle go to take their spots on the bench, while the challenge reaches twenty minutes.
"How long will this one take?"
At the 25-minute mark, Lucian's legs are really hurting. Killua is in great pain, and Siesta is starting to feel weak.
"Almost there!"
The challenge hits the half-hour mark, but Siesta cannot take anymore. She drops out of the challenge.
"We are down to seven! Everyone move up to the next slots!"
As Lucian tries to move his feet up, he slips and ends up landing on his butt on the pyramid itself. In quite a deal of pain, he sadly wades out and goes to the bench.
"We're down to six! Everyone looks good!"
The challenge moves on to 35 minutes, and at this point, Leone and Leafa are really struggling. Both of them look ready to fall down.
"Hinako and Bisky, the smallest people in this challenge, are doing the best! Maybe they have an advantage being so small!"
At the 40-minute mark, Leone slips, and she goes crashing into the water.
"We are now down to five!"
As the players get closer to the 45-minute mark, most of them seem to be on the verge of slipping off, save for Ragyo.
"Ragyo looking solid up there!"
And just as Jet says it, Ragyo suddenly slips and falls off her pyramid.
"Out of nowhere, Ragyo is out! We are down to four!"
The challenge hits the 45-minute mark, and now the players must stand on top of the pyramid itself.
"Take your time getting up there, you've got a full 30 seconds to get both feet on top of that pyramid."
As Leafa tries to reach the top, she slips, and she ends up sliding down the pyramid on her butt.
"Leafa is out! We are down to just three!"
All three players manage to get on top of the pyramid, and they are shaking back and forth. About five minutes later, at the 50-minute mark, one of them slips off. It is…
…
…
…
…Killua.
"Killua drops out, and we are down to just Bisky and Hinako!"
"Come on, Hinako!" Siesta cheers. "We know you can win this!"
"You got this, Bisky!" Killua yells. "You're going to win!"
The players stay up there until the 60-minute mark, which is when one of them falls.
…
…
…
Hinako…
…
…
…
…stays on, while Bisky falls off.
"And that's it! Hinako wins individual immunity!"
"Yay!" Hinako says, as she jumps off her pyramid. She rushes over to Siesta, who gives her a big hug.
"Hina is good at that challenge!" Hina says. "Hina has no trouble with small platforms, because Hina is small!"
"Great job," Siesta tells her.
"Okay, Hinako, come over here," Jet says.
Hinako skips over to Jet, and Jet puts the Immunity Beads of Subjugation around her neck.
"Congratulations, you are safe from tonight's Tribal Council."
"Hey, Jet-Jet, what was that bad thing you said about this necklace?" Hinako asks.
Jet laughs. "Since you're so young, I won't make you… have a seat, like everyone else does. As for now, you are safe. The rest of you, after 21 days, someone is going home and will become the first member of our jury. You've got tonight to figure out who that's gonna be. I'll see you tonight for Tribal. Head on out."
Hinako excitedly runs alongside her tribe back to camp.
"The little girl winning immunity slightly changes my plans," Ragyo says. "She would have possibly been a choice. But now I shall set the wheels in motion for a big blindside."
Day 21
Yorknew Tribe
(Bisky, Giselle, Hinako, Killua, Leafa, Leone, Lucian, Ragyo, Siesta, Yukari)
Ragyo brings together all of her alliance mates. The Student-Teacher Alliance (Giselle & Yukari) along with the two professional Hunters Killua and Bisky, join Lucian in listening to what Ragyo has to say.
"Hinako is now out of the question for a vote," Ragyo says. "Siesta most likely has an advantage of some sort. We are not sure what size of advantage, but we know that she has it for certain. As a result, our choices in voting are very limited, to just Leafa or Leone."
"We have gotten Leafa to spill the beans," Killua says. "She was dumb enough to let us know that Leone's so-called idol was nothing more than a ruse."
"Sounds good to me!" Yukari exclaims.
"Yukari, we haven't even decided who to vote for yet," Bisky says.
"There are six of us, there are four of them," Ragyo states. "We cannot split votes 3-3, as their 4 would beat our 3. However…"
She pulls out her immunity idol.
"If I were to play this idol, then that makes their votes insignificant."
Bisky's eyes light up. "I get it! We split the votes 5-1! The 5 still beats their 4, but in case they use an idol, and you use one, then the person with the one vote goes home! It's a foolproof strategy!"
"And there's more," Ragyo continues. "Giselle has a fake idol, which if given to me becomes a Superidol. That one can be used after the votes are read."
"Man, that's crazy stuff," Killua says.
"So, I will vote for one person, and the rest of you five will vote for the other. At Tribal Council, I'll whisper the name for you all to vote for, and you can whisper to each other."
"Got it," Lucian says.
"My mastermind strategy is going to carry me to the win," Ragyo says. "I know exactly what I am doing. If Leone or Leafa play an idol, then I whip out my idol, and suddenly whoever got that one vote ends up going home."
"This seems like a pretty safe strategy," Killua says. "Ragyo's idol changes everything. I have not let her know yet that I have an idol of my own. I will only use my idol on myself, though. I didn't give it to Tsunade cause that could have sent Bisky or even myself home, and I didn't use it on myself because we had the numbers anyway, so Tsunade was an easy boot. I won't use it tonight for certain, as there's no reason to. This ought to be an interesting Tribal Council."
Meanwhile, the Big-Breasted Alliance gets together.
"Who're we voting for?" Leone asks.
"I'm not quite sure yet," Leafa replies.
"Were you able to get Bisky and Killua on our side?" Siesta asks.
"I can't say for sure," Leafa says. "I don't know if they're on board or not."
"Well, why worry?" Leone says. "We got the Superidol, we even got the Super-Duper Idol. We're going to skate through."
"This vote, we should use the Superidol if necessary," Siesta says. "I want to save the Super-Duper Idol for when we really need it. Maybe Killua and Bisky vote with us, and we don't even need to use the Superidol."
"Good thinking!" Leone exclaims. "I can't wait to get to that vote!"
"I'm all about the advantages!" Leone says. "Social game isn't that important to me. I just wanna keep on surprising everybody with these idols and stuff!"
"I'm 95% sure that I'll give the Superidol to Leone or Leafa, should they need it," Siesta says. "I'm also worried that the other alliance has something up their sleeve that we can't prepare for. Nevertheless, I'm getting Hinako on board with us, and we'll either sink or swim."
Tribal Council
(Yorknew)
The ten members of the Yorknew Tribe walk into the Tribal Council area, wearing their yellow buffs. They set their torches down in the designated place, then go over and take their seats.
"An interesting immunity challenge today," Jet says. "Hinako, you and Bisky seemed to have an advantage because you're so much smaller than everyone else."
"Hina's happy!" Hinako replies. "This necklace is so cute!"
"Bisky, how deflated are you about the fact you were so close to winning immunity and that you came up short?"
Bisky chuckles. "Deflated? I'm not a Tom Brady football. It's not rugby Sunday. I don't cheer for the New England Patriots."
Jet smiles. "I guess you're not too upset then."
"Nah, I got over it quickly. I feel like I am in a position where immunity isn't all that important."
"Lucian, do you agree that immunity isn't all that important?"
"Immunity is absolutely vital," Lucian says. "You should always go all out to win it, and try your very best to make sure that necklace is around your neck."
"This coming from a guy who threw a challenge and got thrown out of the game," Jet says.
"I am reinventing myself as a player," Lucian says.
"No, you aren't!" Leafa breaks in. "You're pulling the same old crap. You're pretending to be a servant to a powerful woman, that way you can ride her coattails as long as you can!"
"Excuse me, I do not pretend anything," Lucian says. "I'm here to win that million so I can present it to my Queen Cynthia."
Jet looks over at Leafa. "Leafa, you seem a bit perturbed about this vote."
"Absolutely I am," Leafa replies. "Right now my alliance is in the minority, and our goal is to get some others on board with us so we're not at the bottom of the totem pole."
"That's the Big-Breasted Alliance, right?" Jet says.
"Yeah, you got us!" Leone exclaims. "We're as tight as it gets!"
"But you can't forget little Hinako," Siesta says. "She's with us too."
Jet grins. "But if I'm counting right, there's only four of you, and we've got ten in this tribe. How do you find a way out of that? Only Hinako of you four is safe."
"We want to work with Killua and Bisky," Leafa says. "Those two would be a perfect addition to our alliance. They'd get us to where we need to be."
As Leafa is saying this, Ragyo whispers in Lucian's ear. This sets off a chain reaction of Ragyo, Lucian, Giselle, Yukari, Killua, and Bisky all whispering in each other's ears.
"Does this make you nervous, Leafa?" Jet says.
"Of course," Leafa says. "They're talking to everyone but us. We're in big trouble."
But as she is saying this, Killua and Bisky come over to Leafa and start whispering to her. Leafa then gives a thumbs-up sign to Leone and Siesta. Hinako wiggles in her seat in excitement.
"This is wild," Jet says. "Some of the biggest last-minute scrambling we've ever had."
The players then all take their seats, ready for the vote.
"You guys ready yet?" Jet asks.
"Yeah!" Yukari shouts. "Let's do it!"
"Okay, Hinako, you've got immunity, you cannot be voted out. Everyone else is fair game. It is time to vote. Bisky, you're up first."
The Tribal Council theme "Tally the Vote" plays as the players go to vote.
Bisky goes to vote.
"You'll never see this one coming," Bisky says.
Giselle goes to vote.
Hinako goes to vote.
Killua goes to vote.
Leafa goes to vote.
"I surely hope everything I was told was true," Leafa says.
Leone goes to vote.
Lucian goes to vote.
Ragyo goes to vote.
"My masterful stroke upon this game begins now, as I cast this vote," Ragyo says.
Siesta goes to vote.
Yukari goes to vote.
"I'll go tally the votes."
Jet walks over to the voting booth, grabs the voting urn, rearranges the votes, then returns to the players.
"If anyone has a hidden immunity idol, and you would like to play it, now would be the time to do so."
Killua doesn't budge from his seat. Lucian makes no moves either. Ragyo looks on, waiting to see if someone else will use one, but no one gets up. When she realizes that no other players are moving, she gives a big smirk.
"Okay. Once 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."
…
"First vote… Leafa."
…
…
…
"Ragyo."
…
…
…
"Leone. That's one vote Leafa, one vote Ragyo, one vote Leone."
Leafa and Leone look at each other nervously. Ragyo keeps smirking.
…
…
…
"Ragyo."
…
…
…
"Ragyo."
…
…
…
"Ragyo. That's four votes Ragyo, one vote Leafa, one vote Leone, four votes left."
…
…
…
"Leone."
Leone bites her lip, a bit worried now.
…
…
…
"Leone."
"Crap!" Leone exclaims.
…
…
…
"Leone. We're tied. Four votes Leone, four votes Ragyo, one vote left."
…
…
…
…
…
"Eighth person voted out of Survivor: Greed Island, and the first member of our jury…"
…
…
…
…
…
"Leone."
Leafa is shocked, while Leone immediately looks over to Siesta.
"Leone, you need to bring me your torch," Jet says.
Leone gets up from her seat and heads in the direction of her torch. But at the last moment, Siesta stands up.
"Excuse me, Mr. Black," Siesta says.
"Yeeees?" Jet replies.
"I seem to have received something while I was at Masadora," Siesta says.
Everyone looks on in utter shock as Siesta pulls out Keroberos, the Superidol.
"This is the Superidol," Siesta explains. "This item allows votes to be cancelled out after the votes have been read. So, my request is…"
…
…
…
"Play it on Leone."
Leone, who was just about to grab her torch, immediately rushes over to Siesta and gives her a high five. Leafa and Hinako celebrate as well, as Siesta gets up and hands over Keroberos to Jet.
"Very well then," Jet says. "This is a Superidol. All votes cast against Leone will not count. The rules of Survivor state that if a hidden immunity idol is played, the player with the second-highest number of votes is eliminated. And as a result, the eighth person voted out and the first member of our jury is… Ragyo Kiryuin."
Ragyo gives an evil smile.
"About that, Jet."
Leafa looks on in utter shock as Ragyo unwraps her immunity idol.
"When this idol is combined with the fake idol Giselle has, it becomes a Superidol itself," Ragyo explains.
Leafa puts her head in her hands as she hears this.
"Now, just hand over that fake idol, Giselle," Ragyo says.
Giselle looks over at Ragyo.
…
…
…
…
…
"No."
"No?" Ragyo says.
"No, I'm not giving it to you," Giselle says. "Go to the jury."
"Wow," Ragyo says, in absolute shell shock.
"Ragyo, you need to bring me your torch," Jet says.
Ragyo angrily grabs her torch and slams it into the slot.
"Ragyo, the tribe has spoken. It's time for you to go."
Before walking away, Ragyo takes her idol and throws it to Lucian.
"If I can't use it, you can," she says.
She then walks out of the Tribal Council area. Jet grins as he faces the players.
"There's not much that can be said about that, except for this: Hashtag #Wow. Grab your torches, head back to camp, good night."
Nine utterly shocked contestants head out of camp, not knowing what to think.
"I can't believe it," Ragyo says. "I thought I had pulled the ultimate power play. But that #$&*% Giselle decided to hang on to a fake idol which has no powers for her! That made no sense at all. I'm in utter disbelief. I just don't know what to say."

Scenes from our next episode:
Ragyo's alliance falls to pieces…
"Ragyo was the superglue holding us together," Yukari says. "Without her here, everyone has just gone their separate ways."
Lucian has lots of power…
"I have two idols now," Lucian says. "I owe a great debt to Ragyo. I also owe a lot to the producers. I guess I'm the king of debt."
And Siesta contemplates pulling the trigger on the Super-Duper Idol…
"I saved Leone once, and I'll save her again if I have to," Siesta says. "I'll use the Super-Duper Idol to save her if we have no other choice, but I don't know if that's the best strategy yet."
