Previously on, Survivor,
Colby might have been the center of attention for the OCs, but Quinn and Jada were heating things up. They added Dribbles into their alliance, trying to create an all-anthropomorphic alliance.
At the Reals camp, Angry Video Game Nerd and Luigi wanted to add Dongwa into their pact, and try to stick together. Luigi asked Dongwa, and he accepted the offer. Meanwhile Cloud and Squall made their own pact.
The OCs made a comeback by winning both the reward, and then the immunity.
Angry Video Game Nerd, having a past with Marty in terms of games, wanted Marty to go home. Dongwa was confused over this, as Marty hadn't done anything wrong to make anyone mad. In his opinion, Dongwa thought Laharl should go.
Dongwa got Luigi on his side, and with powerful influence, Luigi got the Angry Video Game Nerd to vote out Laharl. 14 are left, who'll be voted out tonight?
Airai (OCs): Colby, Dribbles, Dustin, Gabe, Jada, Quinn, and Rob
Malakal (Reals): Angry Video Game Nerd, Cloud, Dongwa, Luigi, Marty, Sora, and Squall.

The Reals (Malakal) Day 7
AVGN walked around camp, pondering his decision last night.
"I knew it was a %$#%ing mistake to vote out Laharl. Now we're gonna lose the %#%%ing challenges! $%$%!" - Angry Video Game Nerd
AVGN went up to Squall.
"You know, Luigi is being a bit conniving." said AVGN to Squall.
"Why?" asked Squall, dully.
"He convinced myself and Dongwa to spare McFly and take out Laharl."
"Last night Laharl went home. That was a huge mistake. I don't think myself or Cloud stand a chance now, but just recently the Angry Video Game Nerd came up to me, and-" - Squall
"I wanna ask you," said AVGN, "if you want to make a secret 2-person deal. You won't go anywhere if you work with me."
Squall nodded, "Yes, sounds like a plan."
They shook hands.
Meanwhile Luigi and Dongwa were talking.
"So are we sticking to voting out Cloud and Squall?" asked Dongwa.
Luigi shook his head, "I doubt Angry Video Game Nerd would allow that, so we'll probably do Marty or Sora next time."
"I'm amazed that the first move that the Reals made was my move. It was my idea to go after Laharl, and it worked." - Dongwa

The OCs (Airai) Day 7
Gabe and Rob were out sawing wood.
"Dustin told me that," said Rob, "you guys want Colby out next. Am I right?"
Gabe nodded, wiping his brow, "Yeah, he's grating on peoples nerves and he is quite arrogant."
"Right now, I have a pact with Rob and Dustin. Colby's next to go, so no surprises there. Then after that, we'll need to get Dribbles to help split up the Quinn/Jada couple." - Gabe
"After Colby is gone," said Gabe, "We have to try to get Dribbles to vote Jada."
Rob nodded, "Yeah, that couple needs to be split up. I'm not seeing another Anthony/Jess pair get into this game."
Later in the day, Quinn collected tree-mail.
"Looks interesting guys!" called Quinn.
"What is it?" asked Colby.
Quinn showed Colby the note, "It's one of those stupid 'Choose a Leader' mails."
Colby read through the mail, "Give it to Dustin, he'll do it."
"If anyones our leader, it's Dustin. He's strong, and has a good work ethic." - Colby
When Dustin got the mail, he chuckled, "I guess I'm doing it?"
No one bothered to step up.
"I'm glad that my tribe sees me as a potential leader. That's a good thing right?" - Dustin
– – – – –
"Come on in Airai!"
Airai entered the challenge area.
"Let's bring in the Reals, Laharl voted out last tribal council."
Dustin nodded, laughing, "You've got to be kidding me!"
"Ready for todays challenge?"
Everyone nodded excitedly.
"Each tribe had to pick a leader, for Malakal you picked Angry Video Game Nerd, and Airai, you picked Dustin. I want both of you to step over to those to mats over there. For everyone else, drop your buffs."
Everyone was surprised. No one expected to be swapped this early.
"You will pick someone from the other tribe, then that person will choose the next member, and it continues onward. Note that you can only pick someone who was never on your tribe. Angry Video Game Nerd, get us started."
"Colby." called AVGN.
Colby nodded, and hopped on over to the purple mat.
"Cloud!" called Dustin.
Cloud nodded and walked over to the orange mat.
"Now those members will now pick."
"Squall, dude." called Colby.
Squall silently moved over to the purple mat.
"Rob." called Cloud.
Rob nodded and walked over to the orange mat.
"Uh, Dribbles." called Squall.
Dribbles nodded and walked over to the purple mat.
"I'll take Marty." called Rob.
Marty grinned and ran over to the orange mat.
"Dongwa!" called Dribbles.
Dongwa smirked and joined the others on the purple mat.
"Quinn." called Marty.
Quinn nodded and ran to the orange mat.
"Dongwa, Quinn, you guys now have your final selections. You must pick someone Jada or Gabe for the OCs, and Luigi and Sora for the Reals. Whoever you don't pick joins the other tribe. Dongwa, make your pick."
Dongwa was about to say, but Dribbles whispered in his ear, "Pick Gabe."
"Gabe." called Dongwa.
Gabe nodded nervously and joined the purple mat. Jada smiled happily as she joined the orange mat.
"Quinn, now make your decision."
"I'll take Luigi." called Quinn.
Luigi nodded, upset. He joined the orange mat, whereas Sora went to the purple mat.
Jeff threw purple buffs to AVGN's tribe.
"The new Malakal consists of Sora, Dongwa, Gabe, Squall, Angry Video Game Nerd, Dribbles, and Colby."
Jeff handed orange buffs to Dustin's tribe.
"The new Airai consists of Jada, Rob, Cloud, Luigi, Dustin, Quinn, and Marty. Both tribes can head back to your new camps. See you later."
Airai: Cloud, Dustin, Jada, Luigi, Marty, Quinn, and Rob.
Malakal: Angry Video Game Nerd, Colby, Dongwa, Dribbles, Gabe, Sora, and Squall

Malakal Day 8
Gabe was the most upset over the switch-up.
"I had a perfect alliance over at Airai, and now I'm at the bottom of a Reals pecking order. Myself, Dribbz, and Colby are done for." - Gabe
AVGN and Dongwa went into the jungle.
"Well listen," said AVGN, "Who the $#$% cares about Luigi right now. In my eyes he's a %$#%ing manipulator."
Dongwa sighed, "Let me guess, he's out of the pact?"
AVGN nodded, "Oh yeah."
"Angry Video Game Nerd thinks Luigi came up with the idea to get rid of Laharl...interesting..." - Dongwa
"Good thing is," said AVGN, "that I got Squall on my side. He knows that if he doesn't go with me, then he goes next."
Dongwa nodded, "But what about Sora, remember, he was on the chopping block."
"Dongwa and I are kinda on our own. But, I do have Squall as a shoo-in. He'll jump to me when I ask him to. But Sora won't stay loyal to the Reals, he'll jump to the OCs. So...we need a back-up." - Angry Video Game Nerd
Meanwhile, Sora and Squall were talking.
"Are you still mad that Laharl is gone?" asked Sora.
Squall shrugged, "Not really. I mean he had it coming. Just a shock."
Sora sighed.
"I think the Angry Video Game Nerd has too much power." thought Sora out-loud.
Squall nodded.
Sora looked at Squall, "We need to get the OCs to vote him or Dongwa out next."
"Can they trust you and me over him?" asked Squall.
Sora shrugged, "Who knows."
"I'm just playing along with Sora's idea. I think Sora will be going next for this, if I tell the Nerd. Depends on if I should tell or not." - Squall
– – – – –
Airai Day 8
Dustin was a bit mad about the switch, but he let it fly by him.
"Gabe may not be here anymore, but myself and Rob need to get back into this. I know for a fact that if we lose, Cloud, Marty, or Luigi will be going home next. But, I'm still a bit worried." - Dustin
Meanwhile, Marty and Luigi were talking.
"I don't know whats going to happen next." sighed Marty in defeat.
Luigi shook his head, "We need to find a way around the OCs, and vote them all out and have all Reals in the Final 4."
"I'm a Real, and as such, I want all Reals in the Final 4. No OCs, none. Their not my original team mates, and they all need to go." - Luigi
Marty looked at him, "Yeah, but with out Angry Video Game Nerd or Dongwa, we stand no chance."
"Clouds with us right?" asked Luigi.
Marty shrugged.
"Cloud is the wild card, right now. He wasn't on the side that voted Laharl out, and he was on the chopping block before the switch. Now, will Cloud be on our side this time?" - Marty
As they were speaking, a couple of kilometers away were Cloud and Dustin.
"I respect you dude, I do." said Dustin.
Cloud nodded.
"I would really like you on my side when we merge, should we both make it."
"Dustin is trying to get me to help him out. %#$% that. Just vote me out already, I'm in the minority, alright? Jeez. But, I would like to play along with his little game." - Cloud
"Sounds like a good deal." muttered Cloud.
Both of them shook hands.
"I've secured a deal with Cloud. Good, now we need to win the challenge. Otherwise, either Marty or Luigi are going home." - Dustin
– – – – –
"Come on in guys!"
Both tribes entered the challenge area.
"I'll take back immunity from Airai."
Airai did so.
"Ready for todays immunity challenge?"
Everyone nodded excitedly.
"For todays challenge, you will play a game of Survivor basketball. New rule to basketball is pushing, since you will be playing on a net floor. Teams will be 3-on-3. Work together, and the first tribe to score 4 points, wins immunity. Let's get started."
Round 1 – Sora, Squall, and Gabe VS Luigi, Cloud, and Rob.
"GO!"
Gabe and Sora worked together to make sure the ball was in Squall's hands. Rob and Cloud tried to push Squall in every way they could, but Squall dodged easily and scored for Malakal.
"Malakal scores their first point!"
Round 2 – Gabe, AVGN, and Dongwa VS Quinn, Luigi, and Marty.
"GO!"
AVGN grabbed the ball immediately, and ran with it. Quinn tried to push him down and steal the ball. When that happened, AVGN quickly passed it to Dongwa, who then passed it to Gabe, who then scored.
"Malakal scores their second point!"
Round 3 – Dribbles, Squall, and Gabe VS Luigi, Rob, and Marty.
"GO!"
Dribbles and Squall played a little game of hot potato between Luigi and Rob. They passed it to eachother back and forth. Out of nowhere, Squall just passed the ball over to Gabe, who was near the hoop with no one near.
"Malakal scores their third point!"
Round 4 – AVGN, Dongwa, and Gabe VS Luigi, Jada, and Marty
"GO!"
Dongwa caught the ball and tried to pass it to Gabe, but Marty intercepted the toss, and threw it back to Jada. She then ran away from AVGN, who tried to push her down. Jada passed the ball to Luigi, who scored.
"Airai scores their first point!"
Round 5 – Sora, Dribbles, and Gabe VS Marty, Luigi, and Jada.
"GO!"
It was a battle for the ball between Dribbles and Marty. Dribbles ripped it from Marty's arm, and tossed it to Gabe. Gabe ran with it, dodging Luigi and Jada. Gabe made the toss and...
"GABE SCORES! MALAKAL WINS IMMUNITY!"
All of Malakal cheered and hugged.
"Well, Malakal, you did very well, and you deserve immunity. As for Airai, you have tribal council with me tomorrow. See you then."

Airai Day 9
Rob, Dustin, Quinn, and Jada were hanging in the shelter.
"We lost the challenge...we lost it hard. We suck at basketball! That's the truth. (chuckles)" - Quinn
"I'm thinking," said Quinn, "It might be stupid, but let's take out Cloud. He's the strongest, and what if he makes it to the merge. He will be tough to beat."
Rob nodded, "You do have a point. After Cloud, it'll be Luigi, then Marty."
Dustin sighed.
"%#%$. I didn't expect to be in this position. I think Cloud should stay, I mean the guys got potential to help us win a challenge or two." - Dustin
So, Dustin went up to Cloud.
"Listen, dude, they want you to go first." said Dustin to Cloud.
Cloud raised an eyebrow, "Idiots. They are really asking for it huh?"
"Does this tribe want to win immunity? Without me, Airai will lose more challenges. Not win any." - Cloud
"Who came up with the idea?" asked Cloud.
Dustin shrugged, "Quinn did, and everyone kind of just agreed."
Cloud nodded. There was silence, until he spoke.
"I will for sure, join your alliance. IF you vote out Quinn tonight. It's either he goes or I go." challenged Cloud.
Dustin's face fell. He knew he made a mistake.
"What did I do wrong, man. (groans)" - Dustin
So, he went to Rob.
"I don't know what to do." sighed Dustin.
Rob raised an eyebrow, "Why?"
"Why are we voting Cloud out so early?" asked Dustin.
Rob shrugged, "He's a Real, that's why."
"Listen Rob," said Dustin, on the verge of going insane, "We can have the power here, but we need Quinn to go home, or else we won't get that power."
"Quinn? First you say you want Cloud to stay cause he's strong. But, um, isn't Quinn just as strong?" - Rob
"Why him?" asked Rob.
Dustin shrugged, "Probably because of him and Jada, I guess."
"Well, let's make a decision." decided Rob.
Silence for a while...then...
"Let's just vote -"
– – – – –
The Airai tribe entered Tribal Council.
"Nice to see all of you. Quinn, how did the mix-up of Reals and OCs effect the game?" asked Jeff.
"We know that the OCs here have an advantage over the Reals, so if anything, tonight a Real is going home tonight." replied Quinn.
"Jada, you seem happy." smiled Jeff.
"I am, I'm just enjoying it out here in the wild. It makes a sexy girl such as myself feel like I'm doing an outdoor photo shoot, you know?" chuckled Jada.
Everyone laughed.
"Marty, do you feel like your in danger?" asked Jeff.
"Definitely, yeah. If I go home tonight, I won't be surprised." replied Marty.
"Dustin, tough vote for you?" asked Jeff.
Dustin thought for a minute.
"Nah." replied Dustin.
"Ok, it's time to vote, Quinn, your up."
– – –
Cloud's Vote: Sorry, but I need to stay. (Quinn)
Quinn's Vote: You are too big a threat, man. Sorry you couldn't stay long enough. (Cloud)
Dustin's Vote: Sorry. (?)
– – –
"Once the votes are read, the decision is final. Person voted out must leave the tribal council area immediately. I'll read the votes."
First vote, Cloud.
Quinn. One vote Cloud, one vote Quinn. (Quinn shrugged.)
…
…
…
Cloud. Two votes Cloud, one vote Quinn.
…
…
…
Cloud. That's three votes Cloud. One vote Quinn. (Cloud grabbed his stuff, knowing it was him.)
Third person voted out of Survivor Reals vs. OCs, Cloud. 4 votes are enough, you need to hand me your torch.
Cloud nodded as he brought up his torch up to Jeff, frowning at Luigi and Marty.
"Cloud, the tribe has spoken."
He snuffed out his torch.
"Time for you to go."
Cloud looked back, "Good luck guys." With that, he left.
"Well, as expected the OCs definitely have the advantage on Airai. Grab your torches and head back. Good night."
– – – – –
Cloud - Jada, Rob, Luigi, Dustin, Quinn, and Marty
Quinn – Cloud
