Episode 8
The King of Debt
Previously on… Survivor…
The tribes merged into one nine-player tribe. But before they'd become a new tribe, there was one addition to come: a player from the Badlands who won a special challenge.
That player was Lucian, who outlasted Orihime and Jasmine and Loly to gain reentry into the game. Jasmine and Orihime were given a choice: a life of comfort, or more torture. All they had to do was say they saw five coconuts, when there were only four. They refused to give in, and Loly went around torturing them.
The vote looked to be fairly straightforward: Ragyo had Lucian, the Student-Teacher Alliance, and the Professional Hunter Alliance all combining to take out Leone. But even though Leone received the most votes, Siesta pulled out the Superidol and cancelled out the five votes for Leone.
There was a twist, however; Ragyo cast her vote for Leafa, and Leafa would go home if Ragyo used a Superidol of her own. But Giselle refused to give her fake idol to turn Ragyo's real idol into a Superidol, and thus Ragyo was voted out and became the first member of the jury. Nine are left. Who will be voted out tonight?
Day 22
Yorknew Tribe
(Bisky, Giselle, Hinako, Killua, Leafa, Leone, Lucian, Siesta, Yukari)
The tribe is in complete shock over the previous vote. Giselle and Yukari, the Student-Teacher Alliance, don't know where to go.
"Ragyo was the superglue holding us together," Yukari says. "Without her here, everyone has just gone their separate ways."
She then pulls a piece of paper out of her pocket.
"I have the Legacy Advantage," Yukari says. "I felt so safe last night that I didn't even think about using it. But now I've got to make it to the Final Five for this thing to even be worth anything. Giselle and I now have to choose who to team up with."
"So, what do you say, Teach?" Giselle says. "Do we stay allied with the Professional Hunters and Lucian, or do we join the Big-Breasted Alliance?"
"I don't know," Yukari replies. "What do each of them have to offer to us?"
"Well, if we want numbers, we go with the big boob girls!" Giselle says. "They've got three, plus Hinako, who they're carrying along with them. But if we were to make Final Six with them, we're pretty much doomed."
Yukari puts a finger on her chin. "So, we stay with Lucian and the pro Hunters," she says. "That way, we still have the numbers, but we have more leverage."
"Yeah!" Giselle says. "And at some point, we use Lucian to turn on the pro Hunters."
"It's all so easy!" Yukari says. "You're such a smart student!"
"I have the highest scores in the history of Pokémon Tech," Giselle brags. "I finished with perfect 100s on all of my exams. And in battles…"
Yukari nods off while Giselle goes on bragging.
"I am unstoppable at this game," Giselle says. "I've never been outsmarted in my whole entire life! I'm going to make it to the end, and this time I'll get all the votes! I know exactly what I'm doing!"
As for Lucian, he feels pressure after being tossed an idol from Ragyo.
"I have two idols now, and everyone saw me get the one from Ragyo," Lucian says. "That paints a giant target on my back. I know for certain I have to use one of them right away, as they're coming at me. I'm not going to be another James or Kellee – I won't get knocked out holding on to two idols."
He pauses to pull out his idols and look at them.
"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."
He then hides the idols back in his coat pocket.
"But if this is what it takes to bring home the million to my Queen Cynthia, then so be it," he says. "She will be impressed with my gameplay should I use these on my way to winning."
Bisky and Killua, the Professional Hunters Alliance, have a different perspective.
"Look, I've got this idol," Killua says. "We have to figure out when to use it. I wish I had used it on Ragyo last night, cause if I did, everything would still be set up for us."
"You can't beat yourself up," Bisky says. "Look, maybe Ragyo going is the best thing for our game. If we stayed allied with the Student-Teacher Alliance and Lucian, then we still have the numbers."
"Yeah, I guess you have a point there," Killua says.
"Do you think the Big-Breasted girls have any more idols?" Bisky wonders.
"Well, that thing that Siesta used – it wasn't the thing that Leone had."
"But didn't Leafa tell us that Leone was lying?"
"She was, but remember how Ragyo's idol worked," Killua says. "Ragyo's idol turned into a Superidol if it was combined with Giselle's fake idol. So, we must assume that whatever that thing is that Leone had, it only has powers when combined with something else."
Bisky puts her head in her hands. "This is so confusing," she says.
"All these advantages are making my head spin," Bisky says. "Let's see, Killua has an idol, Lucian has two idols, Leone has some sort of idol, and that's not to mention the fact that Giselle and Yukari went to Masadora and could be both holding on to advantages of their own. We have to somehow take all of those things into consideration as we make our vote."
"I am very suspicious about Leone and her item," Killua says. "There's a chance it could be combined with something else to gain an advantage that we don't even know about. If we assume that the Big-Breasted Alliance is safe for another vote, we have no choice but to vote with them. There's no way to split votes, we just simply don't have the numbers. Giselle didn't just screw Ragyo last night; she screwed all of us as well. And for no reason! Her fake idol is useless."
Meanwhile, the Big-Breasted Alliance is both thrilled and relieved.
"I can't believe we did it!" Leone exclaims. "You're so awesome, Siesta!"
"That was great, but I was completely at Giselle's mercy," Leafa says. "If Giselle gives Ragyo the other piece to that Superidol, then I go home."
"I'm sorry," Siesta says. "I didn't want either of you to go home."
"That just makes it more obvious – we gotta use that Super-Duper Idol!" Leone exclaims. "Just gimme all the advantages!"
"Are you sure?" Leafa says. "Because those other five look pretty split. Lucian has no one to run to. The Professional Hunters could be convinced to join us, especially now that Ragyo is gone. And the Student-Teacher Alliance? I'm sorry, but they're not that smart."
"There's no reason to worry," Siesta says. "When the time comes, we will make the right decision. Let's not make any rash decisions."
"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."
Leafa looks over at the shelter, where Hinako is sleeping.
"How is she doing?" she asks.
"Fine," Siesta says. "She says she misses her Bro-bro, but she's totally on board with us."
"Great!" Leone exclaims. "We gotta tell her 'bout the Super-Duper Idol!"
"No, let's wait," Leafa says.
"Yeah, we don't want to jump the gun on this thing," Siesta says. "Patience is everything."
"I want to use the Super-Duper Idol at the right time," Siesta says. "I don't want to waste it at an inopportune moment where it goes to waste. If at any point, we have the numbers, why use the Super-Duper Idol then? But if we don't have the numbers, it makes sense to use it."
"I don't think we even need to use the Super-Duper Idol this vote," Leafa says. "I'm going to work on Killua and Bisky and see if I can't get them to rejoin us. They have no leader to look to anymore. I think I can convince them."
So, later that day, Leafa has a talk with the Professional Hunters Alliance.
"I still want to work with you two," Leafa says.
Killua shakes his head. "If you really do, then why didn't you tell us about Siesta's Superidol?"
"I couldn't let something of that magnitude get out!" Leafa says. "Now you know. There are Superidols out there. Ragyo almost had one, but Giselle screwed her."
"Yeah she did!" Killua says. "She also screwed us as well."
"So, what about Leone's idol?" Bisky asks. "Is that of the same nature as Giselle's?"
Leafa smiles. "Tell you what, you vote with us this Tribal Council, and I'll tell you everything. I don't even care what Leone and Siesta think. You'll know everything. But you have to vote with us first!"
Bisky crosses her arms, while Killua looks annoyed.
"Are we supposed to believe that?" Bisky says.
"Yeah, I don't buy it for one minute!" Killua says.
Leafa looks a bit taken aback. "Come on, you two, we could make an unstoppable alliance. I promise, we'll even go after Hinako at Final Six. Siesta won't need to know. We can make this happen!"
Leafa hugs Bisky and Killua, while Leone watches from a distance.
"It's happening!" she says.
Reward Challenge
(Yorknew)
"Come on in, guys!"
The nine players march into the reward challenge area.
"You guys ready to get to today's challenge?"
"Yeah!" everyone shouts.
"For today's challenge, you will be split into two teams of four. You'll climb up a ladder, where you'll find a bag with a ball and rope inside it. You'll thread that bag through until you slide out the other side. You'll then open that bag up and use the ball and rope to hook on to a lever that will knock down the gate to the puzzle. Once you're there, you'll solve a slide puzzle. First team to solve their puzzle, wins reward. Wanna know what you're playing for?"
"Of course!" Yukari yells.
"The winning tribe will be served food by Applebee's. Steak, hamburgers, ribs, fries, and chicken tenders."
Everyone salivates upon hearing about the reward.
"Here's how it'll work. We'll randomly draw two team captains. We will then have a schoolyard pick. Since there are nine people here, that means one person won't get chosen, and will have no shot at reward."
The players all look at each other with a bit of concern.
"But – that player who does not get chosen will head to Masadora, where they will get to spend the night in a hotel room, then get a chance at an advantage. So, if you don't want someone to go to Masadora, you'd better pick them to be part of your team. I'll give you a moment to strategize, then we'll draw for captains, and get started."
Leafa and Killua are chosen as captains. Leafa chooses Leone, Siesta, and Hinako. Killua chooses Lucian, Giselle, and Yukari.
"Okay, we've got our two teams!" Jet says. "Bisky was not chosen, so she will head to Masadora. A helicopter is waiting for you, Bisky, so you can head on out."
Bisky cheerfully heads on out of the immunity challenge, knowing that she gets a chance at an advantage.
"Now, as for the rest of you, we can start the challenge," Jet says. "Survivors ready? Go!"
Leafa and Leone bound up the ladder quickly. Killua has an easy time getting up, but Giselle and Yukari are comically bumping into each other.
"Get out of the way!" Giselle shouts.
"You're in my way!" Yukari yells.
Siesta has to lift Hinako up the ladder, as she is too small to make it herself. That allows Killua's team to catch up, as Lucian is at the top now.
"Got to get all four players at the top before you can move on!"
Giselle and Yukari finally stop bumping into each other and make it to the top. Siesta continues to slowly help Hinako up.
"Killua's team, you can go ahead!"
Killua starts pushing the bag along the rope, as the others follow him. Siesta and Hinako get to the top, and Leone starts working on her bag.
"Once you've gotten through, you can slide down!"
Killua gets his bag to the end, and his team slides down to the ground. About a minute behind, Leone gets her bag through, and her team goes down the slide. Yukari busily starts untying the bag to get the ball and rope out.
"Now, you've got to hook that ball up into that hoop!"
Giselle tosses the ball up toward the hoop, but she misses. That allows Leafa's team time to catch up, as Siesta unties the bag, and Leafa gets to throwing.
"We are neck-and-neck right now!"
Leafa connects on her toss, and she pulls down the lever which opens the gate. Giselle shoots again, and misses again.
"Giselle stinking it up here!"
Giselle finally connects on her third toss, but now Leafa's team has a significant time advantage in solving the slide puzzle. Hinako looks on as the Big-Breasted Alliance works on the puzzle, making great progress.
"Leafa's team really close now!"
Killua's tribe gets to the slide puzzle, and Yukari and Giselle start shoving pieces left and right, hoping to make a comeback.
"Slow down, guys!" Killua yells. "Let me figure this out!"
Leafa and Leone get down to what they think is the last piece, before realizing that they've made a mistake.
"Leafa's team hits a wall, and now they've got to start over! This is anyone's challenge!"
Killua calculates where each piece needs to go, and he has his team start from scratch. Meanwhile, Leafa and Leone are trying to fix where they made a mistake.
"Both teams really close to finishing!"
About a minute later, one of the teams finally solves their puzzle.
…
…
…
"Leafa... finishes her puzzle! And that's it! Leafa's team wins reward!"
Leafa and Leone jump up and down with each other, celebrating the victory. Siesta hugs Hinako warmly, while Giselle throws one of the puzzle pieces in disgust.
"Leafa, Leone, Siesta, Hinako, I've got a boat waiting for you. Head on out to the boat, which will take you to your Applebee's reward."
The four girls happily head on over to the boat.
"Killua, Giselle, Yukari, Lucian, I got nothing for you. Head on out."
The four losing players head out of the challenge area.
"I didn't pick Bisky on purpose," Killua says. "I wanted her to go to Masadora so she'd get an advantage. Now I just have to hope that she picks the right Troopa shell."
Reward
(Hinako, Leafa, Leone, Siesta)
The four winning girls stuff their faces with Applebee's food. Hinako gets buffalo chicken sauce all over her face, while Leone gobbles down everything in sight.
"This is awesome!" Leone says. "Totally worth it!"
"It is quite delightful," Siesta says.
"Hina loves to eat all this food!" Hinako says.
"Final Four right here!" Leafa exclaims, and the four players clink their glasses of Pepsi together.
"I purposely didn't pick Bisky, because I know that she wanted to go to Masadora," Leafa says. "If she gets something there, she may be thankful to me. And that would be good going forward in getting her and Killua on board with us."
"Getting to spend time with Hinako, eating a great meal, making new friends," Siesta says. "There are so many things this game has given me that I never thought I'd experience. I can't wait to find out what's next in store!"
Day 23
Masadora
(Bisky)
After getting a good night's sleep, Bisky is punctual on arriving at the Masadora marketplace.
"Good to see you here," Jet says. "I can't tell you how much I appreciate someone actually showing up on time."
"No sweat," Bisky says. "Now, let's play this game."
Jet explains the rules to Bisky, who then deliberates her actions.
"I know from that note that I got earlier in the game that I shouldn't pick the Troopa shell on the far left," Bisky says. "And I know that if I pick the Small advantage, three of the four shells will have an advantage. That makes it a sure bet."
"Okay," Bisky says. "I'll take the Small advantage."
"Very well then," Jet says, mixing the shells. "Go ahead and pick one."
Bisky picks the second one from the left, and she finds a Master Ball.
"What is this?" she says.
"Go ahead and read the note to find out," Jet says.
"Congratulations, you have found Cynthia's fake immunity Master Ball from Survivor: Shamouti Island," Bisky reads. "While this Master Ball has no powers, it can be used to sabotage an opponent. Use it to your advantage."
"Okay, let's get you back to camp," Jet says.
Jet leads Bisky off to a boat to go back to camp.
"This is interesting," Bisky says. "This could be used as leverage with the Big-Breasted Alliance. I could even give this to them so they feel safe. So many options here!"
Badlands
(Jasmine, Loly, Orihime)
At this point, Loly has stabbed both Jasmine and Orihime multiple times, causing flesh wounds and scars all over their bodies. Fortunately for them, their eyes and ears are still intact. The only reason they are experiencing some peace is because Loly has decided to take a nap.
"My fingers are bleeding, my arms are all cut up, and my foot's in extreme pain," Jasmine says. "Yet I'm not giving up, no matter what it takes. I'm risking everything on making it back into this game."
"I'm in so much pain, but I'm not going home," Orihime says. "I just hope that I won't bleed out by the time there's a chance to get back in the game."
Yorknew Tribe
(Bisky, Giselle, Hinako, Killua, Leafa, Leone, Lucian, Siesta, Yukari)
Bisky comes back from Masadora with the fake immunity Master Ball, and she shows it to Killua alone.
"So, I got this fake immunity Master Ball," Bisky says. "It has no powers, but it could be used to sabotage an opponent."
"Interesting," Killua says. "But who do we want to sabotage?"
"I've got an idea," Bisky says. "Hear me out on this one."
"Okay."
"We give this ball to Leafa as a way of convincing her that we're going to vote with them. Then she gives that ball to someone in her alliance, or maybe keeps it herself, feeling safe. We then spring the trap. Five votes on someone, with our old alliance coming back together."
"But what if they have a Superidol waiting?"
"They're not going to vote against us, though, that's the thing!" Bisky says. "I'm going to give them a name – either Giselle or Yukari – and they'll put all their votes on them. If they have a Superidol, it'll take out one of the Student-Teacher Alliance. Then afterward we have a choice of either the Big-Breasted Alliance or the Student-Teacher Alliance to work with."
Killua grins. "Sounds like a plan to me."
"Bisky's got a crazy plan, but I think it just might work," Killua says. "She's ready to trick the Big-Breasted Alliance into thinking that they're safe. Hopefully she can pull this off, because it would be awesome to see one of them play that fake Master Ball."
"I'm not exactly sure if this is going to work, but I've got to try," Bisky says. "If the Big-Breasted Alliance has a Superidol, the only way to get them to not vote for us is by convincing Leafa to be on our side. And what better way to convince them than by giving up a fake Master Ball? I hope they fall for it."
Later in the day, Bisky meets with Leafa alone on the beach.
"I think we're in similar positions," Bisky says. "You feel like you are the underdog because you have only four against the other five. While we feel like we're the underdog because Leone has something that may turn out to be a Superidol."
"I see what you mean," Leafa says. "Yeah, we definitely don't feel safe, the four of us. That's why I want you with us. Get six together and vote out one of the Student-Teacher Alliance."
"I'm with you, but I need to make sure you're not going to pull out a Superidol."
"We wouldn't use it against you guys, especially not if you're working with us."
"But we want confirmation that you'll never use it even to the Final Six."
Leafa thinks about it. "Well, what confirmation do you need?"
"Here," Bisky says.
She pulls out the fake immunity Master Ball.
"This is an immunity Master Ball from Survivor: Shamouti Island," Bisky says. "I got this at Masadora today. I'm giving this to you, for your alliance to use. But in exchange, you promise that you're not using that Superidol against us at all."
"Sure!" Leafa replies. "It'll be an even exchange."
"Great!" Bisky says.
"I don't know what to think," Leafa says. "Before, I was begging Bisky for help. Now all of a sudden, she's begging to me for help. I think I know exactly what to do with this Master Ball."
"I get the feeling that Leafa bought my story," Bisky says. "Now Killua and I have to find out who Lucian and the Student-Teacher Alliance want to vote out. We can't dictate the vote to them, because if we do, they may turn on us, and then my whole plan goes up in smoke."
Leafa pulls aside Siesta and Leone, while Hinako is taking an evening nap. She shows them the Master Ball that Bisky gave to her.
"Bisky's on board with us," Leafa says. "She gave me this to prove it."
"Shut! Up!" Leone exclaims. "That's awesome!"
"Nice," Siesta says. "But what does that mean for this next vote?"
"Super-Duper Idol, of course!" Leone says. "Can't wait to see it in action!"
Leafa shakes her head. "No, there's no reason to use it now. We should hold off on using it until we absolutely need to. With Killua and Bisky with us, we can vote out one of the Student-Teacher Alliance, even split votes if we have to. It's 6-3. We can split votes between Yukari and Giselle. Then we can think about using the Super-Duper Idol for the next vote."
Siesta looks a bit upset. "I'm not sure," she says. "We almost got burned by not playing the Super-Duper Idol last time. I don't want to end up having something bad go down, like Yukari and Giselle both having idols."
"Siesta's right!" Leone exclaims. "Just spring the Super-Duper Idol on 'em now!"
"Let's wait until closer to Tribal Council on making our decision," Leafa says. "You never know what could happen between now and then."
"Gotcha," Leone says.
"I just want to use this Super-Duper Idol as soon as possible, and see the faces on those guys when they see that we have the ultimate power in this game!" Leone says. "It'll be totally awesome!"
"Leafa is really playing with fire here," Siesta says. "I'm just not sure if this is the right decision. What if there's something we aren't taking into consideration? Is it really worth staking our lives in the game on Bisky and Killua? I just feel like we're missing something, and I can't figure out what it is."
That night, Lucian gets together with the Student-Teacher Alliance to talk out his plans.
"So, we were all a big happy family," Lucian says. "Then, ding dong, the queen is dead. Now we're all scattered. I keep on seeing Bisky and Leafa talking. They've got to be together."
"Yeah, it totally sucks," Yukari says. "I don't know what to do if it's just the three of us. The other six can easily split votes on us and take us out."
"Well, I got this!" Giselle says.
She pulls out her extra vote.
"This is Olivier's extra vote from Survivor: Crazy Second Chance," she explains. "If I use this one, that gets us to four."
"Ooh, awesome!" Yukari says. "If we have four, then that means that splitting the votes will come back to haunt them! We'd have one more vote than them, and we'd send one of them home."
"Sounds good," Lucian says. "Now we just have to figure out who we're gonna vote for."
"Final Three right here!" Giselle exclaims.
"Giselle may be arrogant, but that extra vote that she got could be a game-changer," Lucian says. "Now that Ragyo is gone, I plan on playing this game with the Student-Teacher Alliance. Hopefully everything goes according to plan and we're able to knock out one of the Big-Breasted Alliance girls."
Day 24
Badlands
(Jasmine, Loly, Orihime)
Orihime is using her powers to try to heal Jasmine. Loly, meanwhile, is passed out.
"What happened to her?" Jasmine asks.
"She drank her own poison by accident," Orihime says. "She can produce poison in her fighting form. It won't kill her, but it'll cause her to sleep like this."
"This is the only relief we're going to get," Jasmine says. She winces as Orihime continues to try to heal her.
"We're rid of Loly for a short period of time," Jasmine says. "That's probably the only reason we're still alive. I'm starting to get nervous that she's going to kill one of us, or even both. But I won't give up! Not like last time. I'll prove that I'm not a quitter."
Yorknew Tribe
(Bisky, Giselle, Hinako, Killua, Leafa, Leone, Lucian, Siesta, Yukari)
The Big-Breasted Alliance gets together to decide who they're going to vote for.
"You sure we shouldn't use that Super-Duper Idol?" Leone says. "Cause, man, I really want to use it!"
"It can wait," Leafa replies. "I say you three put votes on Yukari, and I join the Professional Hunters in putting three votes on Giselle. That'll make it 3-3-3. Let's assume Lucian and the Student-Teacher Alliance put three on me. Then, in the revote, you all switch your votes to Giselle. That would be the Pro Hunters with two, and you three with three more. Giselle goes home 5-1."
"And what if Giselle uses an idol?" Siesta wonders.
"Then it's 3-3," Leafa says. "There's a revote, and in that vote you all switch your votes to Yukari. In that case, Yukari goes home 5-1 again. Same thing if Yukari uses her idol."
"But what if they both have an idol?" Siesta says.
Leafa pulls out the Master Ball. "We'll figure out who they're voting for, and we'll use this on whoever is getting their votes. Remember, the Pro Hunters still have ties with them. They can easily find out who they're voting for."
"That's the part that scares me," Siesta replies.
"Leafa thinks the Pro Hunters' being close to Lucian and the Student-Teacher Alliance is a good thing," Siesta says. "It's actually a double-edged sword; it cuts both ways. If they're too close to them, then they vote with them, and their five takes us down no matter what we do. Unless, of course… I use the Super-Duper Idol."
Immunity Challenge
(Yorknew)
"Come on in, guys!"
The nine remaining players walk out along a platform that extends near the water.
"You guys ready to get to today's immunity challenge?"
"Of course!" Giselle shouts.
"First things first, I will take it back."
Hinako walks over to Jet and hands him the Immunity Beads of Subjugation.
"Thank you, little Hinako," Jet says. "I wasn't about to make you 'sit.' The rest of you? Should you win, you won't be so lucky."
"Hina wants to win again!" Hinako exclaims.
Jet chuckles. "Once again, immunity is back up for grabs. For today's challenge, you will hold on to a handle behind your back, while standing on the edge of the platform, bent over. At regular intervals, I will crank the mechanism that will increase the tension on those handles. Last person remaining standing, wins immunity, safe from being voted out. Losers, Tribal Council, where someone will be the ninth person voted out of this game. We'll draw for spots, then get started."
The nine players take their spots on the edge of the platform.
"Everyone looks good," Jet states. "We are officially underway. And I'm going to make things interesting right off the bat."
Jet cranks the mechanism a bit, causing more tension on the players. It only takes that little bit to cause Hinako to drop out. She splashes into the water, where Jet's assistant Kisuke Urahara is waiting. He picks Hinako up and takes her out of the water, since she can't swim.
"Hinako is the first one out, and we are down to eight."
About five minutes pass before the next player drops out.
"Giselle gives up! That puts us down to seven!"
It takes another five minutes for another player to drop out.
"Yukari splashes in! We're now down to six!"
Killua and Lucian are really struggling, and Bisky is in quite a bit of pain. Then, out of nowhere, Siesta drops out.
"Siesta's out, and we're down to five!"
Another five minutes go by, and Jet is getting impatient.
"Time to crank up the pain!" he says.
He cranks the mechanism to put even more tension on the players.
"You're enjoying this, aren't you?" Bisky says.
Lucian drops out about half a minute later, splashing into the water.
"We've got only four left! Killua really having some trouble up there!"
Killua tries holding on, but it is of no use. He drops out about a minute later.
"We are down to three!" Jet shouts. "Bisky, Leafa, and Leone!"
About another five minutes go by, and another player drops out. That player is…
…
…
…
…Bisky.
"Bisky drops out, leaving us with a showdown of Leone vs. Leafa!"
Leone looks over at Leafa. "I'm an assassin," she says. "I'm really awesome at physical stuff."
"Hey, I'm really good at kendo," Leafa replies. "I can beat you."
"I dunno if I wanna go along with this plan," Leone says, speaking in a hushed voice. "You give me immunity, I'll be right on board."
Leafa thinks about it for a minute, then she makes her decision.
"You win," she says, as she plunges into the water.
"And that's it!" Jet shouts. "Leone… wins individual immunity!"
In celebration, Leone dives acrobatically into the water.
"I'll give that a 7.6!" Jet yells. "Get over here, Leone."
Leone climbs back up on to the platform, walking over to get the necklace.
"Congratulations, Leone, you are safe tonight," Jet says. "Everyone else, after 24 days, someone's going home. You've got tonight to figure out who that's gonna be. It will not be you, Leone. I'll see you all tonight for Tribal."
The tribe begins on their way back to camp.
"Oh, one more thing!" Jet shouts. "Sit!"
Leone goes crashing to the ground, thanks to the Immunity Beads of Subjugation.
"Sorry, I just had to," Jet says.
Leone curses as she picks herself up off the ground, then hurries to catch up to the rest of her tribe.
"By letting Leone win, I got her to trust me more," Leafa says. "That's key in pulling off our plan. She's got to trust me that this is the best thing for our alliance."
Yorknew Tribe
(Bisky, Giselle, Hinako, Killua, Leafa, Leone, Lucian, Siesta, Yukari)
As the players get back to camp, almost everyone is in scramble mode. Killua talks with Lucian, while Bisky talks with Leafa.
"We're going with this one," Lucian says, whispering a name in Killua's ear. "That's who I'm telling the Student-Teacher Alliance."
"Got it," Killua replies.
"I'm not sure if we're even voting with Lucian, but it's nice that he's told me his plans," Killua says. "Now I have several choices. It's like the way a certain president works. When he does something controversial, he offers his followers different lanes to choose. Either it didn't happen, or it did happen, and it's actually a good thing. That's the same strategy I'm going with here."
Over on the beach, Bisky and Leafa are hammering things out.
"Giselle," Leafa tells Bisky.
"Makes sense," Bisky says.
"But here's the thing: we're splitting the votes. Three on Giselle, three on Yukari. Just in case they have an idol."
"Are you sure?" Bisky says. "Doesn't that seem risky?"
"It's riskier to not split them," Leafa says. "We know they've both been to Masadora. They could have an idol, you never know."
"I guess so," Bisky replies.
"I'm not sure which way we're going with this vote," Bisky says. "Splitting the votes seems a little crazy. I understand why she'd do it at this point, but I would expect her to have more confidence. Maybe she's figured out already that the Master Ball is a fake. I don't know what I'm going to do."
The Big-Breasted Alliance and Hinako get together right before the vote.
"You sure we aren't usin' the Super-Duper Idol tonight?" Leone says. "I think it's a perfect time to spring it on 'em!"
"There's no need to," Leafa reassures Leone. "You've got immunity, and I'll play this Master Ball on one of us, just to make sure. We're in good shape."
"Okay," Siesta says.
"Is Hina going to be safe, Sis-sis?" Hinako asks Siesta.
"Nothing to worry about," Siesta says. "We've got this all under control."
"Hinako is so far under the radar that she need not worry," Siesta says. "It's either myself or Leafa who should worry. That's why I hope Leafa plays that Master Ball right, just in case, because you never know what could happen. And if things go south, I'm playing that Super-Duper Idol."
"This vote could be crazy, but I'm sure it's going to work out in our favor," Leafa says. "We're going to make it through this vote without the necessity of the Super-Duper Idol, then come out on top and in total control of this game."
Tribal Council
(Yorknew)
The nine remaining players walk into the Tribal Council area, placing their torches in their designated spots. They then take their seats across from Jet Black.
"We now bring in the member of our jury," Jet states. "Ragyo Kiryuin, voted out last Tribal Council."
Ragyo walks in with a stern expression on her face.
"So, Leafa, last time we were here, you were going home, until Giselle chose not to help out Ragyo," Jet says. "Does that portend trouble for this vote?"
"Not at all," Leafa replies. "Yes, I was saved by Giselle Gravelpot, and I'm thankful to her for that. But that was a fluke, with Superidols flying around left and right. I was lucky to survive, but now I've got to move on."
"It would have been a situation where the person with the third-highest number of votes would have gone home," Jet says. "Giselle, you could have made that happen."
"It's true," Giselle replies. "But I know what I'm doing. It's not stupid when you think it out clearly."
"Yukari, Giselle could have saved Ragyo. From the way you guys voted, Ragyo would be on your side had she not gone home."
"Absolutely," Yukari says. "I trust Giselle's judgment, but at the same time I realize that Ragyo would have been great to still have around here for our alliance's sake."
"Lucian, Ragyo tossed her unused idol to you in plain sight for everyone to see," Jet says. "Now you've got that power. How do you use it without disaster occurring, like it did for Ragyo?"
"Yes, it's interesting," Lucian says. "She gave me her idol, which hurts me as much as it helps me. I became a prime target. I know it's a tough place to be, but I plan on using the idol in the right way, not the way Ragyo misplayed it."
"And if Ragyo was telling the truth, you still have the hope of getting a Superidol if Giselle obliges."
"Of course," Lucian says. "I've gotten closer with Miss Gravelpot, and I'm hoping the two of us can play this game together, along with Yukari."
"I notice you didn't mention Killua or Bisky," Jet says. "Bisky, does that concern you?"
"Of course it does," Bisky says. "But Killua and I are in a good place. We are the swing votes, and we will decide which way this vote goes."
"Killua, as a swing vote, what factors go into your decision?"
"It comes down to trust vs. deception," Killua says. "Who I can trust, and who I think is deceiving me."
"Leafa, do you see it that way?" Jet asks. "Are you worried that you might be trusting the wrong person?"
"That's always a concern," Leafa says. "At this point, I feel like it's obvious who to trust and who not to trust. For example, no one can trust Giselle after how she backstabbed Ragyo."
"Excuse me?" Giselle responds.
"Hey, it's true," Leafa says. "You proved yourself to be nothing more than a snake."
"Well, why don't I eat the rat?" Giselle replies.
"Hey, hey, let's calm down here," Jet states. "Siesta, with all kinds of possible advantages floating around, do you find this to be a difficult time in figuring out who's got what?"
"Yes, it's very difficult," Siesta says. "And that's why I want to do this."
Everyone gasps in shock as Siesta pulls out the piece of the Super-Duper Idol.
"This is a piece to the Super-Duper Idol," Siesta says. "When all three pieces of the Super-Duper Idol are put together, a player may vote out another player before the vote, and regardless of whether that player has any idols."
Leone quickly pulls out her piece of the Super-Duper Idol.
"I've been waiting for this moment for all my life!" Leone exclaims.
"Who's got the third?" Bisky whispers to Killua.
Jet stares at the players, as Leafa sits still.
"Leafa, come on, pull it out!" Leone says.
"We don't need to use it," Leafa says. "Trust me."
"I think we should," Siesta says. "It's too dangerous not to use it."
"I choose not to use it," Leafa says. "You need all three pieces to use it, and I'm holding on to mine."
"But, what if-" Siesta begins to say.
Leafa sighs, then pulls out the Master Ball. "Here, take this."
She hands over the Master Ball to Siesta. Immediately Killua starts whispering in Bisky's ear, while Lucian starts whispering to Giselle and Yukari.
"This is wild!" Leone exclaims.
After the players have finished talking to each other, Jet addresses them.
"Seems like tonight's vote is going to be crazy," Jet says. "And I don't want to wait any longer for it. It is time to vote. Bisky, you're up first."
The Survivor: Fiji "Tally the Vote" music plays as the players walk to the voting booth.
Bisky goes to vote.
Giselle goes to vote.
Hinako goes to vote.
Killua goes to vote.
Leafa goes to vote.
"As we planned, we're splitting the votes," Leafa says, showing her vote for Giselle. "Whether you go home or your teacher, I don't really care."
Leone goes to vote.
"Hey, this splitting votes thing isn't my idea," Leone says, holding up her vote for Yukari.
Lucian goes to vote.
"I hate to do this to you," Lucian says. "Check that – no, I love to do this to you."
Siesta goes to vote.
Yukari goes to vote.
"I'll go tally-" Jet begins to say.
"Wait!" Giselle exclaims. She stands up and walks over to Jet.
"Giselle, this isn't the time to use a hidden immunity idol," Jet scolds her.
"I know!" Giselle replies. "But it is the time to use this!"
She pulls out the extra vote that she won at Masadora.
"I am entitled to an extra vote!" she says.
"She's just flat-out entitled," Bisky whispers to Killua.
"I'm going to go vote again, if you don't mind, Jet," Giselle says.
"Very well then, Giselle will vote for a second time," Jet says.
Leafa looks a bit nervous, while Siesta looks very worried.
The Survivor: Micronesia "Tally the Vote" theme plays as Giselle makes her way to the booth.
Giselle goes to vote.
"Okay," Jet says. "This time, I will go tally the votes."
He walks over to the booth, grabs the voting urn, mixes up 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."
Siesta immediately gets up from her seat and hands the Master Ball over to Jet.
"The rules of Survivor state that if a hidden immunity idol is played, all votes cast against that person do not count, and the person with the second-highest number of votes is sent home. This… is…"
…
…
…
"NOT a hidden immunity idol."
Jet throws the Master Ball into the fire, while Giselle and Yukari start laughing hysterically. Bisky stays stern, as does Killua. Siesta looks extremely nervous, while a tear streams down Hinako's cheek.
"Once the votes are read, the decision is final, and the person voted out will be asked to leave the Tribal Council area immediately," Jet states. "I'll read the votes. First vote…"
…
…
…
"Giselle."
Giselle crosses her arms in defiance.
…
…
…
"Yukari."
Yukari looks a bit surprised to see her name.
…
…
…
"Giselle."
…
…
…
"Yukari. We're tied, two votes Yukari, two votes Giselle."
…
…
…
"Giselle."
…
…
…
"Yukari. We're tied again, three votes Yukari, three votes Giselle."
The players look on with wonder as to what the next vote will be.
…
…
…
…
…
"Siesta."
Hinako grabs on to Siesta immediately, while Siesta tries to comfort her.
…
…
…
"Siesta."
Leone crosses her arms angrily, not even looking at Leafa, who looks shocked.
…
…
…
"Siesta. We're tied, three votes Yukari, three votes Giselle, three votes Siesta, one vote left."
…
…
…
…
…
"Ninth person voted out of Survivor: Greed Island, and the second member of our jury…"
…
…
…
…
…
"Siesta."
Hinako bursts into hysterics, crying and clinging to Siesta. Yukari gives Giselle a high five, while Lucian looks on with delight.
"Siesta, you need to bring me your torch," Jet states.
"It'll be okay, Hinako," Siesta tells Hinako as she gets up from her seat. "It really will."
She gets up to grab her torch, but as she does, she pulls out the piece to the Super-Duper Idol.
"You didn't want to use it, Leafa?" she says.
Leafa nods sadly.
"Well, now you'll never get to use it," Siesta says.
She throws the piece of the Super-Duper Idol into the fire. She then marches over to grab her torch, bringing it before Jet.
"Siesta, the tribe has spoken," Jet states. "It's time for you to go."
Siesta walks away without another word. Leone tries to comfort Hinako, while Leafa sits in complete stunned silence.
"Well, I guess I'm like George Costanza tonight," Jet says. "Hey, it's George, I got nothing to say. I really don't. There's no way I can describe what just went on. You all can pick up the pieces tomorrow. Grab your torches, head back to camp, good night."
The players go over to get their torches, then start their trek back to camp.
"We had the Super-Duper Idol," Siesta says. "If we could have all agreed to use it together, we would have shocked the world. Instead, I have been sent to the jury. Everything Leafa told me was either a lie or inaccurate. That's very much like a current president, who's lied over ten thousand times since taking office. I feel so betrayed, so used, so helpless. This is not how I wanted it to end. Little Hinako, please be safe out there."

Bisky – Giselle

Scenes from our next episode:
The Big-Breasted Alliance is no more:
"Your selfishness cost Siesta her spot in this game!" Leone yells at Leafa. "Siesta's upset, Hinako's upset, I'm upset! You wanna play with the Pro Hunters so bad, go play with 'em! You don't have me anymore!"
A player comes across a note hanging from a tree:
"It says, 'You found me, I'm yours.' But is it too good to be true? Should I take it?"
And Loly wakes up from her slumber:
"I'm going to cut that arm right off your body!" Loly screams. "Good luck winning your way back in the game while maimed!"
