Episode 11
Quid Pro Quo
Previously on… Survivor…
Killua talked with Leafa and Leone about forming an alliance. But when things fell through with them, he was obligated to work with Lucian. Meanwhile, Lucian vowed not to use his idols on anyone else but himself.
When the loved ones visited, they participated both in the Survivor Auction as well as the immunity challenge. In between, Lucian visited Masadora with Cynthia and found yet another immunity idol.
At Tribal Council, Giselle used an advantage to skip out on Tribal Council and instead head to Masadora. Leafa, Leone, and Hinako were stunned when Lucian played all three of his idols: one on himself, one on Killua, and one on Yukari. As a result, Hinako was sent home, becoming the fourth member of the jury. Six are left. Who will be voted out tonight?
Day 31
Yorknew Tribe
(Killua, Leafa, Leone, Lucian, Yukari)
"What just happened?" Leone says, as the players get back to camp at midnight.
"Yeah, I'm stunned," Leafa says.
Lucian simply smirks, not saying a word.
"Got any more of those idols?" Yukari asks him. "Do you have an idol factory somewhere where you're getting all of these?"
"It's called Masadora," Killua says. "Going there is a huge advantage."
"Oh, that's right, Giselle is there right now!" Yukari says. "Hopefully she brings home a huge advantage for the two of us."
Lucian chuckles a bit, then pulls out a book and begins reading.
"I made my power play," he says. "With a chance at taking over this game, I did just that by giving my idols up to Killua and Yukari. Now those two are obligated to support me the rest of the game, since I saved them. It's quid pro quo. I did something for them; now they have to do my bidding."
"Lucian saved my butt last vote!" Yukari says. "We've got to go with him!"
That morning, Leafa and Leone realize the situation they're in.
"We're doomed," Leafa says. "Yukari is now 100% with Lucian since he saved her. And Giselle is 100% with Yukari. It's four vs. two. Not even an idol can save us at this point."
"Hey, I've gotten out of stickier situations than this!" Leone says. "What we got to do is find that idol. We know there's got to be one planted out here since Lucian played his."
"Yeah, Lucian played every idol known to man last night," Leafa says. "That means there's got to be another one out there."
"Lucian is the luckiest guy alive, getting all those idols," Leafa says. "By using them all at once, and on other people, what he did was get them on his side for good. As for us, we have nothing. Leone and I are on the bottom. It doesn't even matter which one of us is first to go; the other will follow shortly after."
Meanwhile, Killua, Yukari, and Lucian are talking.
"Now it's a pretty obvious vote," Killua says. "We split the votes between Leafa and Leone. 2-2-2. Easy as pie."
"You assume they don't find an idol," Lucian says.
"No, I am assuming that," Killua says. "If one has an idol, then the other goes home in a revote. Simple as that."
"But you're not taking into consideration what happens if one of them wins immunity," Lucian says. "In that case, neither goes home."
"Oh, that's okay!" Yukari says. "In that case, Giselle and I will just vote for Killua and everything will be fine. Nothing to worry about!"
Killua is taken aback by Yukari's comment.
"Yukari is so quick to throw me under the bus," Killua says. "She acts like it's perfectly fine if our plans are foiled, and she's made it clear that she's going after me. I've got to come up with a different strategy if I want to survive."
So, Killua approaches Leone and Leafa.
"Hey, remember me?" he says to them.
"What's up, Killua?" Leone says. "Maybe you know where to find the idol?"
He laughs. "I wish. But I've got something else to talk about."
"Like what?" Leafa says.
"Us three, Final Three," Killua says. "We go back to the way the game started, only with me on your side."
"I'm open to anything right now," Leafa replies.
"Three-on-three," Leone says. "I like it! Then we go to rocks."
"Hey, I'll pick rocks for you," Killua says. "Lucian and the Student-Teacher Alliance are tied at the hip now. In fact, Yukari threw my name out there, right in front of me! If I go with them and vote you two out, I'm the low person on the totem pole."
"I'll pick rocks for sure," Leafa says. "That's only a tiny gamble, a little risk. As long as we can count on you."
"You absolutely can," Killua says.
"Awesome!" Leone says, as the three hold their arms out in a circle together. "Rocks it is!"
"I like my chances a lot more with rocks than I do with Lucian and the Student-Teacher Alliance," Killua says. "I've come to win this game, not finish fourth. And this is the way to do it."
"Killua may have just saved our game," Leafa says. "If not for him coming to us, we'd be doomed. Now we risk our lives in the game on the color of a rock."
Masadora
(Giselle)
Jet pounds and pounds on Giselle's hotel room door, but gets no answer.
"Giselle, I've told you time and time again, you'd better get out here, or I'm disqualifying you!"
He still gets no answer.
"That's it. I'm giving you a count of ten. If that door doesn't open by then, you will be officially disqualified. I may even fight production to take away your cash winnings."
There still is no answer.
"Ten, nine, eight, seven, six, five, four, three, two, one, zero."
No one answers the door.
"That's it. You're disqualified. I'm going to go back to production to let them know of your decision."
He gets into the elevator, still shaking his head.
"I really can't believe this. Does Jeff Probst have to put up with this?"
He exits the elevator with his head down. He walks into the marketplace and hears a girl's voice greet him.
"Good morning, Jet!" the voice says.
"Good morning," Jet says scruffily.
He then realizes whose voice that was.
"Giselle?"
"Hey, I've been waiting down here in the marketplace for you," Giselle says. "What took you so long?"
Jet breathes a heavy sigh. "Well, I guess you aren't disqualified," he says.
He walks over to the table with the Troopa shells.
"You know how this works," he says. "Pick your advantage size."
Giselle thinks about it for a minute. "Hmmm…" she says. "Well, we're reaching the end of this game. So I think it's go big or go home. I'm going with the Large size."
"Very well then," Jet says, shuffling the Troopa shells. "Go ahead and pick your shell."
The camera cuts away just as Giselle reaches out to grab a shell.
Yorknew Tribe
(Giselle, Killua, Leafa, Leone, Lucian, Yukari)
As Giselle appears in the distance, walking toward camp, Yukari rushes out to greet her. The two of them then go into the wooded area.
"There's a ton I've got to tell you," Yukari says.
"Okay…" Giselle says nervously.
"If not for Lucian, I wouldn't be here right now."
"You mean, he gave you mouth-to-mouth CPR?"
Yukari looks annoyed. "Hey, I'm supposed to be the one making jokes around here. Now listen straight, student. Your teacher is about to teach you a lesson."
"Yeah, yeah, go ahead."
"Now, here's what happened. Everyone started whispering like crazy during Tribal Council. Then, after the votes, Lucian pulls out an idol. He plays it on himself."
"Go on."
"Then, he pulls out another one, and plays it on Killua."
"And then he played a third one on you?"
"Exactly! And I got three votes somehow! So they're coming for me, Giselle. They want me out."
"Well, I have news too, about Masadora."
"Oh, you've got to tell me!"
"Please keep it a secret…"
"Giselle has no idea how much Lucian saved my bacon last night," Yukari says. "She doesn't understand that we've got to be loyal to him now. We can't turn on him after that."
"I'm not sure I understand Yukari's sudden loyalty to Lucian," Giselle says. "All he did was bail her out of one vote. I've bailed out lots of people from votes before. There's no reason to pledge our lives in this game to him."
But Giselle changes her tune when she gets a chance to talk to Lucian.
"Apparently, Killua is too far gone," Lucian says.
"How do you know?" Giselle says.
"Look at him over there."
He points to the beach, where Leafa, Leone, and Killua are joking and laughing.
"He's gone to the Big-Breasted Alliance," Lucian says. "He's replaced Hinako."
"And that matters why?"
"Because we're in the other alliance, dummy!" Lucian exclaims. "If Killua isn't with us, we're down to three vs. three. And you know what that means."
"Hey, I ain't picking no rocks," Giselle replies. "Yukari might, you might. I won't."
Lucian sighs. "Fine, then, have it your way. You won't make the Final Three. Is that what you came for? Just to make the jury?"
Giselle looks aghast. "The great Giselle Gravelpot always comes to win! And she shall! She'll just figure out a way to win without picking rocks!"
Lucian looks depressed, but says nothing.
"If Giselle isn't picking rocks, then my best bet is to get the other three to vote for her," Lucian says. "That way, in a revote, she'd be immune from picking rocks. But how do I go about doing that? How do I convince the other three to vote Giselle? This is going to be tough."
"The last thing I'll do is pick rocks!" Giselle says. "No way am I risking my life in the game on the color of a rock. So, if that's what Lucian thinks he's going to get, well, too bad. I'll flip on him in a heartbeat!"
Meanwhile, Killua, Leafa, and Leone try to figure out who to vote for.
"If it's three-three, that means that the person with the three votes is safe," Leafa says.
"Ah, I get it!" Leone says. "So we purposely vote for the person who we don't wanna go home!"
"That's right," Killua says. "But we've also got to pick the person who is least likely to flip if they get votes."
"Right," Leafa says. "We want to have someone over there who's too scared to pick rocks. That person, we hope flips, so we don't vote for them."
"Also, who's the biggest threat?" Leone says. "Which person could win it all? I'm thinkin' Lucian. He made a statement with that triple idol play. Lots of people are gonna vote for him!"
"I don't know," Killua says. "Yukari may be crazy, but she's also quite likable with her sense of humor. You've got to figure she gets a bunch of jury votes."
"Giselle is the least threat," Leafa says. "She's arrogant, stupid, and annoying. No way a jury gives her a million bucks."
"Trying to pick who to vote for and who to not vote for is very confusing and difficult," Leafa says. "All the possibilities and permutations are making my head spin. Hopefully we make the right choice when it comes time to vote."
Day 32
Badlands
(Jasmine, Loly, Orihime)
Loly drops one of Jasmine's eyeballs on the ground, then swings the machete wildly at Orihime. She connects with part of Orihime's body, and blood goes flying. Orihime lets out an ear-piercing streak.
"Hey, did your shirt come with a pink bow?" Loly asks, picking up something.
"No!" Orihime shouts.
"You cut her ear off," Jasmine says in despondence.
"You only have two ears, you know!" Loly shouts. "Let me at that other one! I'm going to get it!"
Loly continues swinging wildly, with Jasmine and Orihime desperately trying to escape.
"This is horrible," Jasmine says. "Soon Orihime will be deaf, and I'll be blind again. Is it really worth it going through such torment? I've come this far, I can't give up now… but I'd sure like to."
Yorknew Tribe
(Giselle, Killua, Leafa, Leone, Lucian, Yukari)
That afternoon, Giselle and Yukari go out idol-hunting.
"Now that all those idols were played, there's got to be a new one in the game somewhere!" Yukari says.
"Yeah, I know!" Giselle says. "Hey, producers, where is it?"
They continue into the wooded area, turning over every last stone and reaching into every last tree. They can't find anything.
"This is a joke," Giselle says. "It's not fair if they aren't giving us idols."
"Hey, don't give up," Yukari says. "There's one place we haven't checked yet."
Giselle gives Yukari a serious look and gasps.
"You don't mean…"
"Yeah, I do."
"Jet Black's pants?!" Giselle shouts. "Teacher, how could you think up something that awful? That's just terrible. You've got a dirty mind. How perverted can you get?"
Yukari facepalms. "No, no, not there. I meant treemail."
"Oh, there?" Giselle says. "No, no way. Too obvious."
"Well, I'm checking anyway."
"Good luck with all that," Giselle says. "I'm going to go vomit. Your perverted mind is making me sick to my stomach. I can't believe you'd think of something like that."
Giselle and Yukari go their separate ways, with Giselle headed back to camp, while Yukari goes to check treemail.
"Do they even do treemail anymore?" Yukari says. "I don't see it on the show when I watch it during class with my students. They used to come up with these great poems, and creative puns. Now it's just, 'come on in, guys!' Not nearly as fun."
Yukari arrives at the treemail booth, and she finds the usual letter about a reward challenge.
"You will have a chance to eat
And get to have a tasty treat
But you must win this battle
If you want to eat some apples."
Yukari smiles. "I guess the producers haven't been spending too much time on their rhyming skills."
She tosses aside the paper, then does a double take. Underneath the letter is another note.
"Holy crap!" Yukari says. "I was right!"
She opens up the note and reads it.
"At the reward challenge later today, Jet Black will have an immunity idol hanging out of his pants pocket. If you can sneak over to him and grab it, it's yours."
She throws down the paper and starts to laugh.
"Giselle, you did it, you crazy $*#&%, you did it," she says. "The immunity idol is literally in Jet's pants. Now I just have to find a way to get it."
Reward Challenge
(Yorknew)
"Come on in, guys!"
The six players enter the reward challenge area. Yukari immediately spots something hanging from one of Jet's pockets.
"You guys ready to get to today's reward challenge?"
"The sooner the better!" Yukari shouts.
"For today's challenge, you will be separated into teams of three. On my go, you will make your way through an obstacle course to a bag of numbered tiles. You'll then use those tiles to make a combination that unlocks a key. That key will unlock a bag of puzzle pieces, from which you will make a snake puzzle. First team to finish, wins reward. Wanna know what you're playing for?"
"Of course!" Giselle shouts.
"Winning team will get to enjoy a masterful meal. Pimento cheese sandwiches, chicken sandwiches, ham and cheese on rye, egg salad, and all the fixins. Worth playing for?"
"I don't know," Yukari says. "I'm not a big fan of egg salad."
"Yeah, and I don't like pimento cheese," Giselle says.
"Very well then," Jet replies. "I got nothing for you. Head back to camp, I'll see you tomorrow for the immunity challenge."
"Wait a minute, Jet!" Yukari shouts. "We were only fooling!"
"Gee, really?" Jet replies.
"Yeah!" Giselle shouts.
"Very well then, we'll have a schoolyard pick for teams, then we'll get started."
The players pick up teams, coming up with predictable results.
"All right, we have our two teams. On one side, it's Leafa, Leone, and Killua. On the other side, it's Lucian, Giselle, and Yukari. For reward! Survivors ready? Go!"
The six players charge into the obstacle course. Killua slams into one of the posts, but he keeps on going. Yukari struggles a bit at the beginning, and that causes her team to have to slow up.
"Yukari not doing too well! Hurting her team here!"
Yukari finally catches up, but by this point, Leafa's team has grabbed its bag of tiles. Yukari's team gets theirs about a minute later.
"Now, got to figure out that combination!"
Leafa works on the combination for her team, while Lucian works on it for his team. Both players try a couple of combinations, but they can't get it to work.
"There are quite a few choices for the combinations!"
Leafa finally figures hers out, with the answer being 643529. Giselle tries to peek at Leafa's combination, but Leone blocks her from looking.
"Leafa gets her key! Now got to get those puzzle pieces!"
Lucian finally figures his out, and he gets his key about a minute after Leafa. Both players unlock their puzzle pieces, and all six players begin working on their snake puzzles.
"This is a complicated snake puzzle!"
Yukari tries putting random pieces in place, and it turns out to be a bad strategy. Lucian finds that all the pieces are in the wrong order, and he quickly shoves them aside in frustration. Killua makes some significant progress on his team's snake, getting it about halfway finished.
"Killua's team taking the lead here!"
Lucian starts to figure something out, and he begins putting pieces in place. Giselle follows his lead, getting some more pieces where they are supposed to be. As they do, Leafa and Leone start quickly putting in pieces.
"This is going to come down to the wire!"
The players scramble to get their final pieces in. It's a mad dash as both teams come close to finishing.
"We have it!" Leafa shouts.
"Leafa thinks she has it!"
…
…
…
"Leafa… is… WRONG!"
"We got it!" Yukari shouts.
"Yukari thinks she has it!"
…
…
…
"Yukari… is… WRONG!"
"Quick, switch those two pieces," Lucian tells Giselle.
Giselle swaps the two pieces that Lucian is pointing at, and she calls for Jet.
"Giselle thinks she has it, and she is right! Giselle, Lucian, Yukari… win reward!"
Giselle jumps into the air, then slaps hands with Lucian. Yukari runs over to Jet and hugs him.
"We won! We won!" Yukari shouts.
She then reaches down and snatches the idol out of Jet's pocket. As she does, Jet gives her a grin.
"Congratulations, Yukari, Lucian, Giselle, you've got a nice reward coming. Head on out to the reward area."
The three triumphant players walk out.
"As for you, Leafa, Leone, and Killua, I got nothing for you. Head back to camp."
The losing players trudge out of the challenge area.
"Yes! I got the idol!" Yukari says. "Not even Giselle needs to know about this. I'm going to skate right by now!"
Reward
(Giselle, Lucian, Yukari)
The three winning players are enjoying their sandwiches. Giselle is stuffing as many pimento cheese sandwiches into her mouth as possible. Yukari goes for the ham and cheese on rye. Lucian just takes whatever is left over by the two starving women.
"Hey, give that to me!" Giselle says when she sees Lucian reach toward a pimento cheese sandwich.
Lucian quickly pulls his hand away, then adjusts his glasses nervously.
"The schoolyard pick aspect of the reward challenges has enabled us to see what the alliances are in this game," Lucian says. "We three ended up on one team, and the other three were on the other, and it wasn't a coincidence. These are two battling alliances. We're going to rocks. Let the better alliance win."
"Giselle, you should try some of this," Yukari says, showing her a ham and cheese on rye sandwich.
"No way!" Giselle exclaims, as she pounds down another pimento cheese sandwich.
Yukari laughs. "Fine, then, more for me!"
"I wonder how much these sandwiches go for," Giselle says. "Ten, maybe fifteen dollars?"
Lucian shakes his head. "No, I've read about them, and they go for under three dollars at a prestigious golf tournament."
"Nice!" Yukari says. "Sign me up for that!"
"I'm not telling a single soul about this idol I got off Jet," Yukari says. "Giselle doesn't need to know. Lucian certainly doesn't need to know. I'll use it for myself, and I won't give it away to anyone. I know what I'm doing."
Yorknew Tribe
(Killua, Leafa, Leone)
Killua cooks some rice for the girls, who are feeling hungry.
"Man, I wish we had won," Leone says. "I could go for a good meal right now."
"Me too," Leafa says. "We'll just eat a little extra rice than normal to make up for it."
"We'll eat whatever portion those three would have had," Killua says.
The three eat the rice, then talk strategy.
"Okay, let's get down to business," Leafa says. "Which of those three do we vote for?"
"That's really tough," Killua replies. "If, by some chance, Giselle lost her vote, then we would want to vote for the player we want out. But if she didn't lose her vote, then we want to vote for the player that we don't want out."
"There's even more," Leone says. "If she figured out the trick to winning at Masadora, she's gonna come back with a huge advantage."
Killua looks puzzled. "There's a trick?"
"Ya didn't know?" Leone says. "Just pick the third one from the left. You'll get an advantage every time."
"How do you know?" Killua asks.
"Cause we found a note that told us," Leone says.
"Yeah, we've known the secret the whole game," Leafa says. "But neither of us has been selected to go to Masadora. So, we've missed out on lots of advantages."
Killua punches his fist into the ground. "Man, I wish I had known that!" he says. "I could have had the Large-sized advantage."
"Well, now ya know!" Leone says.
"Leone spilled the beans on a big-time secret," Killua says. "There's a trick to winning at Masadora, and it's a big one. I need to get chosen to go there. If I can get a Large-sized advantage, I could go as far as turning on the Big-Breasted Alliance and get one of them out. Those two are dangerous. If either one makes it to the end, that one will win the game."
Badlands
(Jasmine, Loly, Orihime)
Loly has taken a break from maiming Jasmine and Orihime. Both players have only one eye and ear left. They sit in the sand in utter despair.
"I'm so hungry right now," Orihime says. "But I can only hear out one side, and it's hard to see with just one eye. The end of this game needs to come soon."
"I'm having a hard time stopping myself from quitting," Jasmine says. "Loly has tormented me beyond belief. I'm seriously scared I'm doing to die before Retsu comes to heal me."
Yorknew Tribe
(Giselle, Killua, Leafa, Leone, Lucian, Yukari)
The three reward winners come back to camp.
"How was it?" Leafa asks.
"Oh, it was amazing!" Giselle replies. "Let me tell you, if you've never eaten pimento cheese sandwiches, you've got to try one out. Those things are amazing."
"Giselle's wrong," Yukari breaks in. "I'd go with the ham and cheese on rye any day of the week."
"Teacher, I'm sorry, but you're wrong," Giselle says.
"Oh yeah?" Yukari says. "Prove it!"
The rest of the tribe walks away as Yukari and Giselle have an argument about sandwiches.
"We and Killua gotta come up with the right person to vote for," Leone says. "We're tryin' to figure out which one of them is least to have an idol. This is really tricky!"
Day 33
Yorknew Tribe
(Giselle, Killua, Leafa, Leone, Lucian, Yukari)
That morning, Killua goes around snooping to see if anyone has an idol. Unfortunately for him, Yukari has stuffed her idol deep into her pocket, and Killua is unable to find anything.
"This sucks," Killua says. "I wanted to figure out who's got the idol, cause I know it has to be one of those three. The Big-Breasted girls would have let me know if they had found one. But I don't know who has it, and that could spell doom as we try to place our three votes on one of them."
Later in the day, Killua reports on his hunt to Leafa and Leone.
"So, find anything?" Leone asks.
"Nope," Killua replies. "I have no idea who has that idol."
"You sure they even have it?" Leafa asks. "It's possible none of them even found it."
"Someone has to have it," Killua says. "Lucian had three idols, and I know that the Student-Teacher Alliance has been hunting for idols non-stop. We have to guess which one has it."
"If you want my opinion…" Leone says.
She then whispers a name in Killua's ear.
"Okay," Killua replies.
"I've got to hope this works out," Killua says. "If we pick wrong, then one of us goes home for sure. We must pick a person who does not have a hidden immunity idol. We can only hope that one of them doesn't have one."
Immunity Challenge
(Yorknew)
"Come on in, guys!"
The six remaining players enter the immunity challenge area.
"You guys ready to get to today's immunity challenge?" Jet Black asks.
"Yeah!" Giselle shouts.
"First things first, I will take it back. Sit!"
Leone goes flopping to the ground, allowing Jet to snatch the Immunity Beads of Subjugation off her neck.
"Thank you," Jet says. "Once again, immunity is back up for grabs. For today's challenge, you will stand on a balance beam while holding an idol of myself on a paddle. At regular intervals, you will move down the beam, which gets narrower and narrower. Last one standing with their Jet Black idol still on its paddle, wins immunity, guaranteed to be safe at tonight's Tribal Council. Losers, Tribal Council, where someone will be the twelfth person voted out of this game and the fifth member of our jury. We'll draw for spots, then get started."
The players all get to their beams, holding on to their paddles, with miniature idols of Jet Black resting atop.
"This challenge is underway."
Almost immediately, Yukari begins having trouble with her paddle. She begins moving with it, hoping to get it to stay on, but it is to no avail. Her Jet drops to the ground.
"And just like that, not even a minute in, Yukari is out, and we are down to five."
Ten minutes go by with none of the other players having any trouble.
"Okay, it's time move down the beam to the middle part. This part of the beam is half as wide as the previous portion."
The players slowly make their way down the beam. As they do, Giselle slips, falling off the beam, and sending her Jet Black flying.
"Giselle drops, and she is out! We are down to four!"
After about five minutes standing on the middle beam, one of the players slips up and drops out.
…
…
…
"Killua can't hang in there any longer, and he's out! We are down to three!"
Another five minutes go by, with all three players holding steady.
"All right," Jet says. "It's time to move down to the narrowest portion of the beam. This part, like the previous one, is half as long as the one you've been standing on. You've got 30 seconds to make the transition."
As the players make their way slowly down the beam, one of the players drops out.
…
…
…
"Leone drops out! We have a showdown between Leafa and Lucian!"
Lucian looks over at Leafa, who seems to be very steady. He tries hanging on, as he begins to shake. About five minutes later, one of the players slips up and falls down.
…
…
…
"Lucian… stays on his beam! Leafa slips and falls down, out of nowhere! And that's it! Lucian… wins immunity!"
Lucian throws his paddle to the ground in celebration. He pumps both fists, then gives high fives to Giselle and Yukari.
"Congratulations, Lucian, this is for you."
Jet puts the Immunity Beads of Subjugation around Lucian's neck.
"You are safe from tonight's Tribal Council. The rest of you are fair game. You've got tonight to figure out who that's gonna be. Head back to camp, I'll see you at Tribal."
Lucian looks thrilled as he walks with his tribe out of the immunity challenge area.
"This is so big," Lucian says. "Now I don't have to pick rocks. I have no chance of going home tonight. I've just got to figure out which one of them should receive our votes."
Yorknew Tribe
(Giselle, Killua, Leafa, Leone, Lucian, Yukari)
Immediately after going back to camp, Lucian meets with Yukari and Giselle.
"Who are you voting for?" Yukari asks him.
"I'm not sure yet," Lucian replies.
"Well, I've got a name for you," Yukari says, and she whispers in his ear.
"I hope I can trust Yukari and Giselle," Lucian says. "I'm really putting myself out on a limb by trusting two people who probably couldn't tie their own shoes. But it's the only chance I have, so I'm going with them."
Meanwhile, Killua is doing the same thing with Leafa and Leone.
"We're up against the wall now," Killua says. "None of us have immunity, while Giselle or Yukari probably has the idol."
"Don't say that!" Leone exclaims. "Maybe none of them found it!"
Killua sighs. "I doubt it," he says.
"Well, if that's the case," Leafa says, "our only hope is that Giselle lost her vote at Masadora. Then we'd win the vote 3-2."
Killua nods. "We'll keep our fingers crossed."
"Did Giselle lose her vote, or didn't she?" Killua says. "And did the Student-Teacher Alliance find the idol, or did they not? So many question marks headed into this Tribal Council."
Tribal Council
(Yorknew)
The six remaining players enter the Tribal Council area.
"We now bring in the members of our jury," Jet states. "Ragyo Kiryuin, Siesta, Bisky, and, voted out last Tribal Council, Hinako."
The jury members take their seats, with Hinako squeezing Mr. Teddy Bear.
"We're getting down there," Jet says. "How do you base your vote with only six players left, Lucian?"
"Well, we've got two alliances here," Lucian says. "There's myself and the Student-Teacher Alliance."
"Giselle and Yukari?" Jet says.
"That's right. Then we've got the Big-Breasted Alliance along with Killua. Those three are up against us."
"That's good to know," Jet says, "but you didn't answer my question."
"Let me finish," Lucian says. "We are going to go three-on-three and pick rocks. But we can also vote for the person whom we think has the least chance of the other two wanting to pick rocks for."
"That sounds complicated," Jet says. "Giselle, do you understand everything that's going on here?"
"Absolutely!" Giselle says. "I didn't get to become Pokémon League Champion without being smart! And you know, I still hold the highest scores in the history of Pokémon Tech! Now, could Lucian repeat what he said? I didn't quite get that."
Everyone enjoys a chuckle, then Jet gets back to business.
"Killua, do you base your vote on the same reasoning that Lucian has?"
"It's rather complicated," Killua says. "We are figuring that one of the Student-Teacher Alliance has an idol. We've got to vote for the one of them who doesn't have an idol, and hope that Giselle lost her vote at Masadora."
"It's like one of those scenarios late in the football season where you gotta win and you need a couple of other teams to lose," Leone says. "Same thing here. We gotta hope Giselle lost her vote, and that we don't vote for the person who has an idol."
"But, how do you know that one of those two has an idol?" Jet asks.
"We're making an educated guess," Leafa says. "Every vote requires a certain amount of risk, this one a bit more than usual."
"Yukari, what do you think about all this idol talk, centered around you and Giselle?" Jet asks.
"I think it's rather foolish," Yukari says. "If those three want to worry about one of us having an idol, then that's their prerogative. We are going to vote the way we want."
After hearing this, Killua gets up and whispers a name in Leafa and Leone's ear. Yukari does the same with Lucian.
"What about this Masadora situation?" Jet asks. "Giselle, you went there, everyone knows how it works at this point. You either get an advantage, or you lose your vote."
"That's right," Giselle replies. "So, if I lost my vote, we're in some trouble here. But if I found an advantage, then that means that we'll be impossible to stop!"
"Leafa, any worries that Giselle has a big advantage with her?"
"Oh, of course we're worried," Leafa says. "But even if she has a minor advantage, that means that she still has her vote, and that we're in a whole lot of trouble."
"Agreed," Killua says. "This entire situation will come down to whether we're lucky, or whether we're out of luck."
"Indeed," Jet states. "Lucian's got immunity, you cannot vote for him. The rest of you are fair game. It is time to vote. Giselle, you're up first."
The Fiji "Tally the Vote" theme plays as the players go to vote.
Giselle goes to vote.
Killua goes to vote.
"This is our only hope," Killua says.
Leafa goes to vote.
Leone goes to vote.
Lucian goes to vote.
Yukari goes to vote.
"I'll go tally the votes," Jet says.
Jet goes over to get the votes, then he rearranges them, before coming back 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."
Everyone looks around, wondering if someone has an idol. After about fifteen seconds of silence, Yukari stands up.
"You know what," Yukari says, "I feel like being safe."
She walks over to Jet and hands him her idol that she found in his pants.
"Play that on myself."
She goes back to her seat.
"Very well then," Jet states. "This is a good immunity idol. Any votes cast against Yukari will not count. 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."
He pulls out the first vote.
"First vote… Killua."
…
…
…
"Giselle."
…
…
…
"Giselle."
…
…
…
"Killua. We're tied, two votes Giselle, two votes Killua."
…
…
…
"Giselle. That's three votes Giselle, two votes Killua."
"Is there another vote?" Lucian wonders.
"We are about to find out," Jet says. "If this vote says 'No Vote' or is a vote for someone other than Killua, Giselle goes home. If it is a vote for Killua, then we have a tie."
…
…
…
…
…
Jet reveals the final piece of parchment, which says "No Vote."
"This means that the twelfth person voted out of Survivor: Greed Island, and the fifth member of our jury is Giselle Gravelpot."
Giselle gets up from her seat with a small laugh.
"Hey, I may not have won this game, but I'm still a ten-time Pokémon League Champion!" she says.
"You need to bring me your torch," Jet says.
Giselle sighs, then walks over to get her torch. She brings it over to Jet.
"Giselle, the tribe has spoken," Jet says, snuffing out her torch. "It's time for you to go."
"Go win this thing, Yukari!" Giselle says on her way out. "Time to eat!"
Giselle skips out of the Tribal Council area, while Yukari waves to her. Killua, Leafa, and Leone all give themselves high fives, while Lucian slumps in his seat, feeling defeated.
"Well, one thing's for sure," Jet says. "Lady Luck was on some players' sides, and not on other players' sides. You always need a little luck to win at Survivor. Grab your torches, head back to camp, good night."
The players take their torches and begin their trek back to camp.
"Yeah, so I lost my vote," Giselle says. "So what? At least I tried. I gambled, and I lost. I should have went for the Small-sized advantage, but I was trying to win this game, not just come in third. I'm happy with the way things went. Hopefully Yukari kills it and makes it to the end!"
Who voted for whom:
Giselle – No vote
Killua – Giselle
Leafa – Giselle
Leone – Giselle
Lucian – Killua
Yukari – Killua
Scenes from our next episode:
The players have a very important reward challenge:
"The winner of this challenge will be the final player to go to Masadora," Jet announces. "This will be your last chance to get an advantage."
The three from the Badlands get their chance at coming back into the game:
"Now that Orihime and Jasmine have been fully healed, it is time to find out which one of these three will get back in the game."
And an unforeseen development changes everything:
"This is astonishing," Jet says. "As a result, we will be changing all our plans."
