(Tyjet Tribe)
The five remaining contestants sat at the fire pit over the burning fire.
"Tonight… Was horrible. Absolutely horrible. Regina annoyed us tonight so Rinky and I decided to vote against Roger just like she asked just to spite her." Victoria said holding her face. "Unfortunately, Floyd and Kat for some reason caught on and voted off Rinky. And we were so close from getting the majority too."
"Wow… You sure got us good." Roger said finally breaking the silence.
"Yeah." Floyd said.
Roger looked up. "How did you know that we had the Idol?"
"Oh, at Belle's final Challenge, we told Rinky what happened back at camp." Floyd said. "He seemed very passive about it so I knew that something was up."
"I see." Roger sighed.
"Tonight was EPIC. Not only did we manage to save our alliance from the Hidden Immunity Idol but we gave Regina a dose of reality she desperately needed!" Floyd grinned. "I KNEW that Regina would annoy Victoria and Rinky into voting for Roger only for him to be the sole vote attempting to send Regina home!"
"Incidentally, how DID you guys got the Idol in the first place?" Kat asked. "Larka threw it in the ocean."
"Oh, believe it or not, Rinky literally FISHED it out of the ocean the morning before the Family Visit." Victoria said.
"SERIOUSLY? Man, that kid must have a four-leaf clover at the time." Floyd said in awe.
"I know. It was just hard to believe." Roger sighed.
"Not as much as the fact that we are THIS close to the finals." Kat pointed out.
Roger nodded. "With all this talk about threats, trust and other things, we had lost track of time."
"Literally just less than a week till this thing finally ends." Floyd mused.
"Now it is time to get serious." Victoria said.
Regina was the only person who had not said a single thing since everyone got back to camp. She had her head down after what had happened from last night.
"I… I don't know what happened. Everything was a blur. It turns out that the Idol WAS the real deal. And I just realized that I could have destroyed my alliance for good." Regina said slowly. "If it wasn't for… If it wasn't for Floyd and Kat, I would had probably gone home looking like a complete tool."
(Day 34)
Floyd and Kat sat at the fire pit talking to each other.
"Wow, that was amazing." Kat said in awe.
"Yeah, I honestly thought that we were in trouble but we did it." Floyd grinned.
"Um, guys?"
The two turned to see Regina making her way over with her head down.
"Yes?" Floyd said in a sing-song tune.
Regina merely held her arm.
"I wanted to talk about what happened." She said slowly. "How did you know that they were going to play the Idol on Roger?"
"Because we knew that we needed to split the votes in some way so we could save our alliance." Floyd smirked. "So we needed to make somebody from the opposing tribe target somebody else."
Regina looked down. "So you only made me target Roger because you think that they would vote against him just to spite me."
Floyd nodded. "Yeah, that makes it 3-2-1 with our votes being the deciding votes."
"Wow…" Regina said looking down. "You really saved me."
"Yeah, we would have been in trouble if we lost you." Kat nodded. "We would have been in minority."
Floyd nodded. "Regina, this is why you should had trusted me. If you did so from the start, none of this would had happened."
"I… I realized…" The blonde said. "I am sorry."
Floyd gave a small smile.
"It's all right. Let's just focus on voting out Roger and Victoria."
Regina on the other hand gave a weak smile before nodded. Kat sighed in relief.
"It is nice to see Regina realize the errors of her ways. Maybe now she would calm down and actually think things out before doing things." Floyd smiled. "Which is good because this close to the finals, everything had to be perfect. No time to make mistakes."
Meanwhile, Roger and Victoria were on Rinky Island still upset that they had happened to them.
"We had it, Roger. We had it and we let it slip through our fingers." Victoria groaned slapping her head.
"And you know what the worst part is?" Roger lamented. "If we didn't want to spite Regina, we could had gotten her out normally."
"As much as we dislike Regina, we had no one to blame but ourselves for this mess. If we didn't let Regina's annoyance get to us, we had finally gotten the majority for the first time in a while." Roger sighed. "But no… Instead we got cocky and Victoria and Rinky voted against Regina."
"Now what? We had our chance at the majority and we blew it." Victoria sighed.
"There, there, Victoria." Roger said patting her on the back. "Sure, this is a major setback but we had come too far to just leave."
"I know…" Victoria sighed. "Still, this is very grim. I mean, maybe if there were more people left in the game, I wouldn't mind. But still this is the Final 5. There are less people to go."
Roger raised an eyebrow. "But couldn't we also use that same fact to our advantage?"
"Huh?" Victoria asked looking at the older person with a confused look on her face.
"I mean think about it. At this point in the game, most people will do whatever they can to make it to the Finals." Roger pointed out. "We just need to show one of them that keeping us is better than keeping their other alliance."
"I guess… But how can we?" Victoria said.
She then froze. She then looked down at her hands and counted her fingers.
Roger looked confused. "Um, Victoria?"
"Shh!" Victoria scolded before she continued what she was doing. "37. 38. 39!"
Her eyes then lit up. "I got it!"
"Got what?" Roger asked.
Victoria then gave a small smirk. "I know how to save us for another round."
(Day 35)
Kat happily made her way made her way over back to camp while holding a letter.
"The whole Regina issue had been bugging us ever since Blake got voted out so it is nice that we had finally managed to get her to settle down." Kat said in relief. "Now maybe we could finally concentrate on bigger things."
With that, she had made her way back to camp.
"All right, everyone! It is time for our next Challenge!" Kat announced.
It took everyone less time to gather around seeing that there were less people.
"Sweet. What does it say?" Floyd asked.
Kat read the letter. "Um, do you like auctions?"
"Ah, a good old-fashioned auction Challenge." Regina smiled. "I wonder what they will have."
"Same here." Victoria mused.
"The thing about Reward Challenges is that if you win, you may have the choice to invite at least one person along." Victoria shrugged. "If you do that, you make get good karma from that person. Reward Challenges may be overlooked for a reason but they are still just as important as Immunity Challenges."
(Final Reward)
The five people made their way onto the mat where Tiny was waiting.
"Welcome, Survivors to your Final Reward." Tiny smirked while adjusting his glasses.
"I have to ask." Floyd smirked. "Did you caught Rinky before he reached the limo or did you fail and had to settle for a spare pair?"
Everyone chuckled as Tiny growled.
"Anyway… It is time for a good old-fashioned auction!" Tiny said. "Anyway, here is how this Challenge is going to work. Each of you will be given 100 hundred dollars. I will put up an item with something covered and you will bid on it. Highest bidders win the item. However, be wary. After you bid the item, you are left whatever money you have left."
Everyone nodded knowing that it is all a test of luck.
(Later)
Everyone sat down holding a good amount of money.
"All right. First item up for bid." Tiny said. "Let's start!"
"Ten dollars." Floyd started.
"Fifteen dollars." Kat said.
"Twenty-five dollars." Regina piped up.
"Forty dollars." Kat said.
Tiny looked around. "Any takers? Sold to Kat for forty dollars!"
The white cat excitedly got up before running over to the item and taking off the cover after paying.
To reveal that it was a piece of cake.
"Congrats, you had won a piece of cake." Tiny smiled.
"Thank you." Kat smiled taking the cake and walking back to eat it.
"All right! Next item!" Tiny sang putting up the next item. "Who would want to start?"
"Sure, why not?" Victoria shrugged. "Fifteen dollars."
"Twenty dollars." Roger said.
"Fifty." Regina piped up.
"Sixty." Roger said.
"Any more bids?" Tiny asked before smirking. "Sold to Roger for sixty dollars."
The soldier smirked before making his way over. After paying Tiny, he lifted up the top.
He then saw a couple slices of pepperoni pizza.
"Congrats." Tiny said. "You had won two giant slices of pizza."
"Thanks." Roger said taking the plate and walking back to the others.
"Okay. Next item!" Tiny said putting up the next item. "Shall we start?"
"Fifteen dollars!" Floyd said.
"Twenty dollars!" Victoria said narrowing her eyes.
"Seventy-five dollars!" Regina yelled.
Everyone looked surprised by this.
"Seventy-five dollars?" Tiny said. "Wow, that's a big leap from the previous. Well, any takers? No, all right. The item is yours!"
Regina got up excitedly and ran over to the item. After paying Tiny, she lifted it up.
To reveal a giant jar of pickle juice.
"Congrats, you had won a jar of the juice from the finest pickles around!" Tiny smirked.
Everyone did their best to hold in their laughter while Regina held the jar with a sour look on her face.
"Come on, Reg! Making your face more sour than the pickle juice isn't going to make it sweeter." Floyd smirked.
"Aw, shaddup." Regina snapped before stalking back to her seat.
Tiny grinned before putting up the next item. "All right! Bids on!"
"Thirty dollars!" Floyd said.
"Forty dollars!" Victoria said.
"Sixty dollars!" Floyd said.
"Eighty dollars!" Victoria yelled.
Everyone oohed in amazement.
"Another high bid." Tiny said. "Anyone want to top it? No, then it is yours."
Victoria smirked before she made her way over. She paid Tiny and took off the lid.
To reveal a scroll.
Everyone looked on as Victoria curiously picked it up.
"Well, what are you waiting for?" Tiny asked. "Read it."
Victoria nodded before unrolling the scroll and reading it.
"You had won a trip to a house high in the mountains." Victoria said. "However, being that high up will be lonesome. You may choose one person to go with you. However, once you do so, you have to choose between who do you want to give your remaining money too."
"Well, you heard it. Right." Tiny smiled. "Do you want to take?"
Victoria smirked. "Kat."
Regina, Floyd and especially Kat looked stunned by this. Roger on the other hand looked unfazed.
"Um, thank you." Kat said.
"All right. Victoria, who do you want to give your money too?" Tiny asked.
"Roger." The dark-skinned woman said giving her money to him.
"Okay, Kat. Your turn." Tiny said.
"Regina." Kat said giving her money to her fellow female.
"All right. You two may head back on the trip AFTER the auction." Tiny said. "Of course. You have no money to bid on any more items."
Victoria and Kat nodded.
"All right." Tiny grinned. "Last item! Place your bids!"
"The whole sha-bang!" Floyd yelled surprising everyone.
"Wow… In that case, there is no need to express." Tiny said. "The item is yours."
Floyd ran over grinning like a look giving Tiny everything. He then excitedly raised the lid.
To reveal a giant cake.
Floyd's eyes sparkled as Tiny chuckled.
"Dig it. You win the entire cake." Tiny said.
The young man nodded before he started to eat.
"This auction is officially adjourned." Tiny said. "You may head back to camp."
(Tyjet Tribe)
Roger sat on Rinky Island fishing unaware that Floyd and Regina were standing on-shore staring at him.
"Seem pretty calm for someone who just watched their only ally take someone else on a Reward." Regina said in suspicious manner.
"A little TOO calm for MY taste." Floyd said crossing his arms.
"Yeah, Victoria is obviously planting seeds into Kat's head to get her to flip on us." Regina said sternly.
"Makes sense." Floyd said with a shrug. "I mean they need only one person to flip to survive the round."
"Could you not say stuff like that so casually?" Regina asked annoyed.
"Victoria had taken someone else from other than her only ally on a Reward and it is pretty obvious that they want Kat to flip." Regina said before scratching her head. "But question is why Kat? Kat haven't done a single thing that makes her seem like she is willing to backstab us so why start not?"
"We are never going to solve this mystery just by standing here." The bespectualed girl said sternly.
"Well, what should we do?" Floyd asked. "We are never going to know until after the next Challenge."
"Easy. We'll talk to Roger and see if he could slip up by mistake." Regina shrugged.
She was about to make her way over until she froze in her tracks.
"Um, Floyd. You are a guy." Regina said nervously. "Why don't you act like bros and that male ego talk?"
The cameraman smirked. "Someone's ashamed to go near Roger."
Regina glared at the man. "That's not it! Well, maybe…"
Floyd merely chuckled. "Don't worry. If you are not worried, then I will act like your knight in shining armour."
"Not with your face like that." Regina muttered.
Floyd remembered realized that his mouth still had chocolate on it from the cake he ate. "Dang! I thought I got rid of it all!"
"So I decided to take the role of asking Roger what is going on. Unfortunately, I am doing a job that I normally don't do." Floyd sighed. "I mean I am the type who sneaks around scooping up dirt than actually talk directly to them, you know?"
"Yo!"
Roger turned around to see Floyd walking over.
"Oh,hey, Floyd." Roger greeted.
"Hey." The young man said. "Listen. Can I sit with you for a while?"
"Sure." Roger said.
Floyd nodded before he sat down. The two were silent for a while.
"Um, Roger?" Floyd said.
"Yes?" The soldier said.
"Why did Victoria take Kat instead of you on the Reward?" Floyd asked.
Roger blinked twice before sighing.
"Victoria said that she had a plan to save us and it revolves around getting on Kat's good side. So that is why she took her on the Reward instead of me." Roger shrugged. "She wants to have her all alone to talk about her idea."
"I don't think you heard but after Tribal Council, Victoria and I had a fight." The camouflage-clad man said. "I think she took Kat over me because she didn't want to be alone with me."
Floyd blinked twice. "Roger, I may be not be as good as Mr. West but I am FAR too good a journalist to fall for a lie like that."
The older man sighed knowing that there was no point trying to hide it.
"Okay, you got me. But come on, do you honestly expect us to just sit back and let you get the Final 3?" Roger asked.
"I guess it WOULD be very anti-climactic if you just sit back and give up." Floyd shrugged. "But what I want to do is why Victoria took Kat."
"Why? Is there any reason not to take her?" Roger asked.
"No, nothing like that." Floyd said. "It's just… Random."
Roger merely shrugged before looking at the ocean. "Perhaps… But like I said, we are kinda desperate so we are not picky."
Floyd groaned before holding his head.
"This talk accomplished absolutely nothing! We are still in the dark as to why Victoria took Kat on the Reward." Floyd said holding his head. "It is really nerve-wracking when you ally is taken on a Reward by somebody on the OPPOSING alliance."
(Mountain Trip)
To get to the mountain, Victoria and Kat took a ride on a helicopter. They sat amazed at the view below.
"Wow… It's lovely!" Kat said in awe.
"I'll say!" Victoria smiled.
"I more or less live in the middle of nowhere so I rarely see anything other than desert as far as the eye could see." Victoria smiled. "I actually forgot what it was like to see stuff what you can't see back at home."
After the two had got off the helicopter, they both stood on top of the edge of the cliff overlooking the great view below them.
"Wow… I had never seen the jungle from this angle before." Victoria said.
"Yeah, it looked better when you are standing over it than actually in it." Kat said in awe.
"Heh… Truth." Victoria smirked. "Still, it is nice to see that nature isn't all bad."
Kat nodded before looking down.
"Victoria had taken me on the Reward and I have to ask. WHY? I thought Victoria and Roger were friends. Why take me over him?" Kat asked. "Obviously it is because she wants to plant ideas in my head to flip so I thought that I should listen to her side of the story."
"Victoria?" The white cat asked.
"Yes, Kat?" The dark-skinned woman asked.
"Why DID you bring me here?" The feline said.
Victoria merely sighed. "Won't resist cutting to the chase do you? Well, might as well do the favour. Kat, we would appreciate with you spare us for this round?"
The band player blinked twice. "Um, sorry. I know that you brought me on a nice Reward but do you think that is going to make me betray my closest allies out here?"
"I know. Just asking would be futile." Victoria said before looking stern. "But you have to realize something."
Kat blinked twice. "Realize what?"
"First things first, Kat, what Day is it today?" Victoria asked.
"Huh? Um, it should be Day 35 today." Kat said.
"Exactly and how many people are left?" Victoria asked.
"Um, five?" Kat asked wondering what Victoria was getting at.
"Very good now is there going to be a Final 3 this season or a Final 2?" Victoria quizzed.
Kat's eyes widened realizing what Victoria was getting at.
"Counting down the days and the number of people left made me realize something. This season is going to be a Final 2." Victoria said sternly. "Which means that if you are in an alliance of three and you make up the FINAL 3, you will have to choose one person to backstab."
"Now you get it?" The young woman said.
"I think so." Kat said. "What does that mean? It is just one more person to vote off."
"Yeah, but think about it." Victoria said. "If you vote off me and Roger, then you, Regina and Floyd would be competing for the Final 2."
Kat looked surprised at this.
"That's right. And when did you become Regina's ally?" Victoria asked.
"Um, just before Mikey's final Tribal Council." Kat said.
"And when did Floyd's become Regina's ally?" Victoria said.
"Um, I don't know. But they had definitely been hanging out before they talked to me." Kat said.
"Exactly! There are been together more than you!" Victoria said. "Which means if you three make the Final 3, they would take each other than you."
Kat's eyes widened in realization.
"Which is why we want you to vote with us." Victoria said.
"But if what you say is true, my fate will be the same regardless of who I go with." Kat said.
"That may be true but if you go with Regina and Floyd, they will dump you in a heartbeat to take each other to the end." Victoria said.
Kat looked down. "I dunno."
"Look, there is still one more day before the Challenge." Victoria said. "You have all of the time to think."
"Y-Yeah." Kat said.
"My main strategy is to be nice and stay loyal to my alliance. However, what Victoria said brought up a major point." Kat frowned. "If I stay Floyd and Regina, my days would be numbered at the Final Tribal Council but I can't go back on my word to stay loyal to Regina after going through the trouble of trying to save her."
(Day 36)
Roger made his way over to the treemail box in thought.
"Victoria told that it will be a Final 2 this season so that means you can only bring one person instead of two with you at the Final Tribal Council." Roger mused. "Victoria only said to try to convince Kat to save us."
"I sure hope that her plan actually works." He said grabbing the letter out of the treemail box.
With that, he walked back to camp.
"All right." Roger said. "Treemail."
Floyd and Regina walked over.
"Well, what does it say?" Regina asked.
"It says… "Do you get motion sickness?" Roger said.
Regina blinked twice. "I do NOT like the sound of that."
We got another Challenge but that's not my main worry. My main worry is that I could find out if Kat would stay loyal to us despite being taken on the Reward." Regina said. "Roger and Victoria could either go for this round so I wouldn't be too upset if one of them won Immunity."
(Immunity Challenge)
Roger, Floyd and Regina made their way over to the tribe mat.
"We now bring in Victoria and Kat from the Reward." Tiny said as the two walked in.
"Hello!" Kat sang.
"We will now go to your next Challenge." Tiny said. "Take a look."
Everyone looked ahead to see a giant slippery-looking pyramid with a series of different coloured pieces on it five platforms around it.
"Here is your next Challenge. This giant pyramid will start spinning. You would have to climb up and collect puzzle pieces and put them together." Tiny said. "Don't worry, you need one piece from each colour and there is enough for everyone. You may choose to grab more than one piece in one go but I strongly recommend doing it one at a time. Whoever finishes their puzzle first win Immunity guaranteeing a 1-in-4 chance of winning this game."
Everyone nodded.
"Well, let's draw for spots!" Tiny smirked.
(Later)
Everyone got into position.
"All right. For Immunity." Tiny said. "Survivors, ready! Go!"
All five had started to run towards the spinner and started to climb up on it. However, they all realized how slippery it really was and kept falling on their faces at first.
"Sheesh, what is on this thing? Syrup?" Victoria said in disgust.
"How am I supposed to grab a piece when I can't even reach halfway?" Regina whined.
However, Roger, Victoria and Floyd had managed to get a decent way up the pyramid. Only for Victoria to slip and fall down.
"This is ridiculous! This is hard enough with the thing spinning around!" Victoria said.
"All the more fun!" Tiny smirked.
"For who?" Regina asked in exasperation.
"ME!" Tiny smirked.
Everyone growled as Roger and Floyd had grabbed their first piece respectively and slid down. They then crawled their way over to the respective tables. Floyd got there and placed it there.
"All right so purple is out." Floyd said before running back out onto the spinner.
Roger did the same before running out. Meanwhile, Regina was trying to get up the pyramid. However, it was too slippery for her. Kat trying to climb up only to slip off leaving unsightly scratches on it.
"Hey! Do you know what how much that cost us?" Tiny asked angrily.
"Sorry!" Kat said as Victoria grabbed her first piece.
As she goes back, Roger and Floyd had grabbed their next pieces. As they slid down, Regina stared at Floyd.
"How the heck are you keeping up with ROGER?" Regina asked in disbelief.
Floyd merely shrugged. "I climb a lot of things."
The Challenge continued on. Roger, Floyd and Victoria continued to get as many puzzle pieces as they could. Regina and Kat on the other hand pretty much had no luck no matter how hard they tried.
Soon, it was between Roger and Floyd. The two had rushed over to their respective platforms and started to work on the puzzle. Victoria was close behind but it was too late for her.
The two men started to work on their puzzle. Everyone looked on wondering who would win Immunity this time along.
However, one man completes it. "DONE!"
Tiny ran over to inspect the puzzle.
"He has it! ROGER WINS IMMUNITY!"
Roger smiled as he clenched his fist. "Yes."
(Later)
"Congratulations, Roger." Tiny said putting the necklace around Roger's neck. "You had won Immunity guaranteeing a 1-in-4 chance of winning."
"Thanks, I really needed this." The man smiled.
"As for the rest of you, the chances of making the Finals will fall short for one of you." Tiny said. "You have all day to figure out who. You may now head back to camp."
(Tyjet Tribe)
"I won Immunity which left a lot more better than the last time I won it because I believed I needed this more than ever this time around." Roger said. "Unfortunately, that means my only ally is the target by default."
"Good work winning Immunity." Victoria said.
"Thanks." Roger said. "But what about you? That means you are the target by default."
"I know." Victoria said crossing her arms. "I had already spoken with Kat at the Reward about the Final 2. If she votes us off, she may get picked off next."
Roger blinked twice. "But isn't that her fate anyway if she joins us?"
"Perhaps…" Victoria frowned with a sigh.
"I had already done everything in my power at the Reward. Next is completely up to Kat." Victoria said with a sigh. "There is nerve-wracking that even though you did all you could do at the time, you STILL have no power over your game."
Meanwhile, Floyd and Regina were talking to Kat.
"So what was that about?" Regina asked.
"Yeah, why did Victoria took you on the Reward?" Floyd asked crossing his arms.
"Victoria just wanted to see if I could flip." Kat said.
"Yeah, we kinda figured." Floyd mused.
"After Kat had returned to camp, she said that Victoria told her that she would think about it but that's about it." Floyd said. "Kat just said that how much threats Regina and I are seeing that the game had been in our hands for a long while."
"Victoria said that you and Floyd had been controlling the game ever since Larka got voted out so that's why she thinks keeping her and Roger over you is a bad idea." Kat said as she and Regina walked down the beach.
"Well, I can see her reasoning but I don't think that is true." Regina said looking down. "Having power in the game does not equal automatic jury votes."
"Regina…" Kat said.
"I am fine!" The blonde said. "I am just glad that I can trust on people like you and Floyd."
Kat slowly nodded. "Yeah… I am glad to hear that. Listen, can I ask a question?"
"Sure." Regina said.
"How long have you and Floyd been together?" Kat asked.
"Oh, we had been together on Day 7." Regina said.
"Had he been a good ally to you?" Kat asked.
"Of course! I would have never gotten as far as I could without him!" Regina said. "I owe a lot to him from start to finish!"
Kat slowly looked down. "I see…"
She then brightened up.
"Well, I am glad that we had finally managed to fix the tension between you too." Kat said.
"Me too." Regina said with a sigh. "Though you are just as important to me, Kat."
"Really?" The white cat asked looking up.
"Of course." Regina said. "If it wasn't for you, things would had been nasty for everyone."
Kat blushed. "Um, thank you…"
"I had just learned how much Floyd means to Regina. On the other hand, I also learned how much Regina trusts me." Kat frowned. "I am confused. What should I do? Should I vote with Victoria and Roger and backstabbing my closest allies? Or should I stick with them and may get pick off third?"
(Tribal Council)
The five finalists walked into Tribal Council.
"We now bring in the jury." Tiny said. "Blake, Barry, Megan, Belle and Rinky voted off at the last Tribal Council."
Everyone watched as the jury walked in. And their eyes widened in shock. Rinky was wearing a black sports robe with a pipe in his mouth. However, that was not what caught their attention.
Belle's face was completely red complete with drawn on glasses, goatee, moustache, freckles and lipstick. She was a completely mess. The contestants blinked twice.
Victoria then let out a miffled laugh.
The five then started to laugh out loud.
"Oh my gosh! Is that?" Victoria said trying to control herself. "Oh my goodness! I can't breathe! I can't breathe!"
Belle blinked twice. "What? Have they inhaled laughing gas or something? Rinky's outfit is ridiculous but not by that much."
"Oh, you are just jealous that it makes me look mature." Rinky said blowing into the pipe sending bubbles up.
"Oh, yeah. Real mature." Belle said swatting away the bubbles. Blake and Megan snickered and Barry merely sighed.
"Everyone, please calm down!" Tiny scolded.
Everyone slowly settled down.
"Okay, let's start." Tiny said. "Floyd, what happened?"
"I figured out that the opposing alliance had the Idol." The journalist grinned. "So it split the votes, we had Victoria and Rinky for Roger thinking it would be 5-1."
"But how did you found the Idol, Roger?" Tiny asked.
"Rinky fished it out of the ocean the day of the Family Visit." The soldier sighed.
"I see." Tiny said. "But why go through all this trouble, Regina? I mean how come the vote was 3-2-1?"
The blonde looked to the side. "Floyd told me that they had the Idol but I wouldn't believe them. So I voted for Roger even though he was going to use the Idol."
"She left out the part where she annoyed Victoria and I into going with her plan." Rinky muttered.
"I see." Tiny said. "So Victoria, you are in the minority again?"
"Yeah, we got cocky and we paid for it nearly." The woman sighed. "While this was a failure, it was our own fault."
"Hang in there, Victoria." Blake said.
"So Floyd, how is your alliance?" Tiny asked.
"Much better now." The cameraman smiled. "We finally managed to calm things down and talk out our issues without losing each other."
"I wish that they could have done the same for me." Megan pouted.
"They SHOULD have done the same for me." Belle snarled.
"So Kat, is this true?" Tiny asked.
"Yes, the tension between Regina and Floyd is mostly gone." The white cat said. "Everything seemed to have gone back to normal."
"Then everything should be happy for you, right?" Tiny asked.
"You're right, I am." Kat said before frowning. "I also realized something very important."
"And that is?"
"When you are trying your best to be the peacekeeper between two people, you tend to be the third wheel of them despite they were being appreciated." Kat said.
Everyone looked shocked at this.
"I mean normally I don't mind. I like trying to make people happy." Kat said. "But there are sometimes I ask "Is it worth it for me in the end?"
"I see. Well, it is time to vote." Tiny said. "Regina, you're up."
The futuristic girl nodded before getting up and walking over to the voting table with a worried look on her face. "I sure hope what Kat meant was merely a warning." She said holding up "Victoria" to the camera.
Victoria walked over looking determined. She grabbed the pen before writing down a name. "Nothing personal but I don't want to go home after coming so far." She said holding up "Floyd" to the camera.
Floyd made his way over with a worried look on his face. With a sigh, he grabbed the pen. "Sorry but with Roger winning Immunity, you are the target by default." He said holding up "Victoria" to the camera.
Roger walked over worried for his only ally. With a sigh, he took the pen. "I sure hope this works." He said holding up "Floyd" to the camera.
Kat sighed before making her way over. Grabbing the pen, she took a deep breath. "I just KNOW that this is going to bite me back in the tail almost immediately."
With that, she made her way back. Tiny got up.
"I'll get the votes."
Everyone waited patiently.
"I'll read them out."
"First vote, Victoria."
Victoria nodded her head.
"Second vote, Floyd. One vote, Victoria. One vote, Floyd."
Floyd crossed his arms.
"Third vote, Floyd. Two votes, Floyd. One vote, Victoria.
Floyd and Regina looked at each other.
"Fourth vote, Victoria. Two votes, Floyd. Two votes, Victoria."
Kat merely sighed.
"Fifteenth person voted out of Survivor and sixth member of our jury…"
Everyone looked on.
"…Is Floyd."
"Thank goodness…" Blake said sighing in relief.
Regina merely sighed as Kat looked away. Roger and Victoria looked at each other in relief.
"Floyd, you need to bring me your torch."
"Floyd, I am sorry…" Kat apologized.
"It is all right." The cameraman said. "Whether it is at the juror house or at the Final Tribal Council, you can explain your side of the story."
With that, he grabbed his torch and made his way over to Tiny putting his torch in front of him.
"Floyd, the tribe has spoken…" Tiny said before putting his snuffer over the torch extinguishing it. "You may now go."
"This should be an interesting Finale." He said walking off casually.
Tiny watched him go off before turning to the others. "Floyd was in a 3-2 majority and yet he was the one to go home. It just goes to show that people aren't just going to let the prize money slip out of their fingers. You better remember this because you are now in the Finale. You may head back to camp."
The four remaining contestants gathered their torches before heading back to camp. Tiny's words were ringing in their ears. At this point, you have to do everything in your power to get to the Finals. Nobody wants to go home empty-handed after coming so far.
"Am I surprised that I got voted out? No. Listening to Kat's speech made me realize that she was thinking about flipping on us." Floyd said. "And I was so close to making the Finale. Still, I had managed to sneak past to the Final 5 without getting a single vote. That is impressive enough."
RESULTS
Floyd: Kat, Roger, Victoria.
Victoria: Floyd, Regina.
So Floyd just missed out on the finale. Floyd was an interesting case. I wanted him to seem like a background narrator with a lot of insightful confessionals. I only made come out of his role because Regina was taking too far. Also, Floyd was a more subtle comedy relief. He cracks a few jokes here or there and sometimes gets himself in said jokes.
NOTE: Floyd was ANOTHER character from my scrapped Total Drama Island story. Surprisingly, I had no story for him other than being comedy relief. He was very nosy with a camera and often got himself in trouble.
Next Time… We are having our Finale! Who will win?
Regina The Backstabber
Roger The Dethroned King
Victoria The Cassandra
Or Kat The Kind One?
