Previously on, Survivor,
Trying to get the target off of him, Stephen talked with Ling Ling about trying to take out a Savaii. Turned out, Ling Ling wanted to vote off Sweet Tooth. Stephen wanted to tell Sweet Tooth about this.
However, Stepney told Sweet Tooth ahead of time, and warned him. Sweet Tooth came up with a plan to get Stephen to the Final 4, in order to ensure a Savaii Final 3.
At the reward challenge, Metal Mario's weight hindered his team, and the team of Harry, Ling Ling, and Stephen won reward. Ling Ling then defeated both Stephen and Harry to win a sports car. Stepney was sent to Exile Island.
At Exile Island, Stepney went searching for the idol, and came across a large ruin. Venturing inside, he found the hidden immunity idol.
At the immunity challenge, Harry hung in for at least 3 full hours, defeating Ling Ling and winning immunity.
Before tribal council, Ling Ling was the intended target, but Metal Mario was conflicted. He didn't trust Sweet Tooth anymore, especially since he was targeting Ling Ling. Metal Mario thought he had a longer-term goal. Meanwhile, Stephen decided to align himself with Ling Ling, thinking it was for the best.
Stepney revealed the idol to Ling Ling and Stephen, and promised he would use it to save Ling Ling.
At tribal council, while Stepney did not play the idol on Ling Ling, someone else did. Metal Mario, feeling nervous about Sweet Tooth's goals, used the idol on Ling Ling. This saved him from the vote, and it cost Sweet Tooth the game, becoming the fourth jury member. 5 are left, tonight, one more will go...
Final 5: Harry, Ling Ling, Metal Mario, Stephen, and Stepney
Jury: Brandon, Bruce, Mikayla, and Sweet Tooth

Cact-X Day 34
Harry and Stepney were both devastated by Metal Mario's move.
"I can't believe Metal Mario would just waste that idol. If he is truly with Ling Ling and Stephen... crap, we're goners." - Stepney
Harry was bawling, "Why did they have to do such a thing!"
Stepney looked annoyed, "Well, apparently I was right. You really can't make decisions for yourself."
Harry didn't hear him. Eventually, Metal Mario showed up to talk.
"Listen," sighed Metal Mario, "Think whatever you want to think, but I did NOT betray you guys. I betrayed Sweet Tooth."
Stepney looked at him, annoyed, "You could've come to me first before you pulled that move. I thought you trusted me!"
"Listen Stepney, I didn't tell you because I was afraid you would blab off to Sweet Tooth!" replied Metal Mario.
"Stepney and Harry are pissed at me for eliminating Sweet Tooth. Fact of the matter is, they can't let this effect their gameplay at all. If they do, I'm the next to go, and Stephen's gonna float to the end and win." - Metal Mario
"Yeah, I probably would," replied Stepney, "Because he saved my behind when Dexter got voted out! Had he not done that, I would've been gone long ago."
Metal Mario sighed, "Listen you two, you guys need to trust me. I don't want Stephen or Ling Ling to be together at any cost. I'm betting they are allies now, and Ling Ling's gonna stupidly let Stephen into the finals."
"I consider Stephen a larger target then you anyway," said Harry, patting Metal Mario's shoulder, "But don't forget what you did to piss me off."
Metal Mario sweat dropped, "Like I'm really afraid of you."
"My old buddy Sweet Tooth is out of the game, and I'm flopping around like a fish. Well, now what am I gonna do? Trust Metal Mario? Screw that... he took out my boss." - Harry
"Well," replied Stepney, "Which one would we vote out first?"
"I'd say Ling Ling," replied Metal Mario, "He's a wild card in this game, and who knows what he's thinking."
"And Stephen?" wondered Stepney.
"Fourth place suits him," noted Metal Mario.
"I want to trust Metal Mario again, but his betrayal of Sweet Tooth just... irks me a little bit. Was he playing us from the very beginning?" - Stepney
– – – – –
Cact-X Day 34
Stephen and Ling Ling were swimming around in the river.
"Sweet Tooth is gone," smiled Ling Ling, a rare sight, "Game getting ugly."
"Yeah, man," replied Stephen, "That was unexpected from Metal Mario."
"Screw what I said," noted Ling Ling, looking at Stephen, "Ling Ling align with you now."
"Day 33, Ling Ling told me I'm the next to go. Day 34, Ling Ling now wants to work with me. I'm like... well, okay. I mean, this should be an easy trip to the Final 3, right?" - Stephen
"I'd like that, bro," replied Stephen, "I trust you 100%. You, me, and Metal Mario. Well, hopefully he's with us."
Ling Ling jumped out of the river, angry, "Ling Ling no trust Metal Mario! Metal Mario play idol on Ling Ling, yet Metal Mario still VOTE for Ling Ling!"
Stephen was confused, "But why take him out? With him possibly on our side, we can get to the Final 3!"
"Metal Mario biggest threat, now with Sweet Tooth dead!" yelled Ling Ling.
Stephen nodded, "Yeah, I know he is... but wh-"
"What Ling Ling says goes man!" yelled Ling Ling, "Or fifth place goes to Stephen."
"Okay, dude," said Stephen, sternly, "Seriously, do not threaten me. I want to go to the end with you. Metal Mario is our ticket!"
"Ling Ling doesn't trust Metal Mario at all, and wants to vote him out next. I'm sitting here thinking... why? He could be our ticket to the Final 3!" - Stephen
"Ling Ling know Harry and Stepney pissed at Metal Mario," replied Ling Ling, "Use anger to get what Ling Ling wants."
Stephen sweat dropped.
"Okay, quite honestly, Ling Ling's lost in power. He doesn't realize there could be a potential tie at the Final 4, followed by a purple rock, and let's say he pulls it. Bye bye Ling Ling!" - Stephen
"Well, if it's what you want..." shrugged Stephen.
Ling Ling nodded.
"Sweet Tooth is gone from game! Ling Ling now 5 day away from million dollar prize!" - Ling Ling
– – – – –
"Come on in guys!"
The remaining castaways entered the challenge area.
"Guys ready for today's reward challenge?"
Everyone nodded.
"How about we show what the reward is first? To give you an idea as to what's up ahead."
Everyone was now intrigued.
Jeff whistled off to his right, and 5 figures came in from the right. A metallic looking plumber, a female purple battle monster, an orange diesel, a teenager with long brown hair, and an Asian man all lined up next to Jeff.
"We have Metal Mario's brother Metal Luigi, Ling Ling's girlfriend Ni-Pul, Stepney's friend Rusty, Harry's nephew Tommy, and Stephen's best friend Ben."
"Wait..." noted Stepney, "Isn't that Ben Tan?"
Stephen gulped.
"Yup. Certainly is! Welcome back Tan."
Ben nodded, "Glad to be here today, Probst."
Everyone looked at Stephen with weird looks.
"You know Ben Tan?" asked Metal Mario.
Stephen said nothing.
"Anyway, let's get to the challenge, in which your loved ones will be competing in for you. You will be competing in several challenges. Each round we will lose one person. I will explain them individually as we move along. For the first round, you will be digging through sand to find your color-coded puzzle piece. First four to finish move on."
All the loved ones got situated.
"Loved ones ready? GO!"
Everyone dug deep into the sand, searching for their bag of puzzle pieces. Ben and Rusty quickly found theirs.
Tommy and Metal Luigi were digging in one area, but only Metal Luigi found a bag.
It was between Ni-Pul and Tommy to find their bag of puzzle pieces...
…
…
…
"The loved ones moving on are Rusty, Ben, Ni-Pul, and Metal Luigi."
Tommy sat down off to the side, shrugging at Harry.
"For this part of the challenge, you will untie a wooden snake; puzzle bag still in hand. Up ahead are three small hills. First three to cross the finish line move on."
Everyone got situated.
"Loved ones ready? GO!"
Everyone started to untie the snakes. Ben and Rusty were once again the first two to finish untying. Metal Luigi and Ni-Pul were right behind them.
Ben made it over the hills in record time. He was moving on.
Ni-Pul started to gain ground over Rusty and Metal Luigi, with the sandy hills slowing them down a bit. Sooner then she expected, Ni-Pul tripped, and fell over flat on her face. This got both Rusty and Metal Luigi some extra time to finish.
"Ones moving onto round three: Metal Luigi, Ben, and Rusty!"
Ni-Pul took a seat next to Tommy. Ling Ling wasn't that happy.
"For this part of the challenge, you will continue to carry both the snake and the bag of puzzle pieces through more sand hills, along with a water pit. In the water, tied up, is a wooden fish. Untie the fish, and drag that and your other items across the finish line. First two to finish move on."
Everyone got situated.
"Loved ones ready? GO!"
Everyone raced out to the hills. Once again, Ben was excelling this part. Metal Luigi and Rusty were struggling.
Ben was up and over the hills, and he dived into the water to untie the fish. Within record time, he finished, and crossed the line.
Metal Luigi and Rusty were finally over the hills, and were in the water untying the fish...
…
…
…
…
"The two loved ones moving on are Metal Luigi and Ben!"
Rusty took a spot near Ni-Pul and Tommy. Stepney was upset.
"For the final round, you will continue to carry all three items; the bag, the snake, and the fish. You will go through the sand pits, a water pit, and a new obstacle; walls. Thankfully, there is only one wall. First person to cross the finish wins a chance to spend a night with their loved one."
Both Ben and Metal Luigi got ready.
"Loved ones ready? GO!"
Both Ben and Metal Luigi tackled the hills. Ben was, once again, on a role through the hills. Metal Luigi, though, was actually doing better then he was before.
Ben was quickly in and out of the water pit. But soon the wall came up, and this is where Ben had trouble.
Metal Luigi was soon right behind him. He threw all three items up and over the wall. Ben looked over, and decided to do it as well. However, the snake was stuck on top of the wall.
"Damn!" swore Ben. He looked over, and saw Metal Luigi starting to climb the wall.
Soon... one person finished...
…
…
…
…
"METAL LUIGI WINS REWARD FOR HIS SURVIVOR!"
Everyone cheered for Metal Luigi, and Metal Mario ran over to give his brother a hug.
"Congratulations Metal Luigi! You've won a luxurious night with your brother in a fancy hotel. Now, Metal Mario, you get to make some important decisions now. I want you to pick someone to join you on your reward. Who will it be?"
Metal Mario pointed at Stepney.
"No brainer." noted Metal Mario.
Jeff allowed Rusty to go over to Stepney, and interact with him.
"Now, Metal Mario, another decision. Choose someone to spend time with their loved one at camp."
Metal Mario pointed at Harry.
"Another no brainer." chuckled Metal Mario.
Tommy ran over to Harry, and gave him a high five.
Jeff looked at Ling Ling and Stephen.
"You two will be sent to Exile Island, which is, by the way, the final visit to Exile Island. But before you go, Metal Mario will decide which one of you should get a hug from your loved one, and which one should only get a few words."
Metal Mario thought for a minute.
"Let Stephen get the hug, and Ling Ling the few words." noted Metal Mario.
Stephen walked over to Ben, and gave him a hug.
"How's Anny?" asked Stephen.
"Good," replied Ben, "Figured I tell you this, but you now have a lovely niece waiting for you back home."
Stephen smiled, "Thanks for checking up on my family."
Stephen returned back to his spot.
Ling Ling didn't feel like talking to this girlfriend, "Sorry Ni-Pul. Ling Ling pissed off now. We talk when Ling Ling return."
Ni-Pul nodded sadly, "That's okay Ling Ling... have fun."
Both Ben and Ni-Pul left the area.
Jeff handed a map over to Stephen.
"They will return at the next immunity challenge. Metal Mario, Stepney, you guys will enjoy a nice evening with your loved ones, as will you, Harry. I hope everyone has a good night. All loved ones will be picked up before you are called for immunity. Have fun!"

Reward Day 34
Metal Mario, Metal Luigi, Stepney, and Rusty all arrived at the hotel, ready to spend some quality time with their loved ones.
"I'm glad Metal Mario took me on this reward. It tells me that Metal Mario hasn't fully turned on our alliance. I think it eases my mind to know that we will be the Final 3 with Harry." - Stepney
"They have everything here!" said an amazed Rusty, "Showers, food, television, and more!"
"Television?" asked Metal Luigi, "Sweet!"
He ran into the bedroom, and jumped onto the convenient metallic bed. Metal Luigi grabbed the remote control and started to watch some 90s' cartoon.
"I love hanging out with my brother. We may be clones of the real plumbers themselves, but we're still brothers to the end." - Metal Mario
Outside the hotel, Rusty was talking to Stepney, "Frankly, I'm worried about you. Sure you've survived this far, but..."
Stepney nodded, "I have nothing to fear, Rusty. I've got the idol, and I'm betting the Final 3, even 2, is in sight."
Rusty smiled, "Still, with only 4 people left to beat, who knows what will happen."
"Rusty saved me long ago from scrap, and he's done so much for me since then. Even if he's a diesel, and I'm a steam engine, I consider him to be like a brother." - Stepney
– – – – –
Cact-X Day 34
Harry and Tommy were chatting inside the shelter.
"So you got your human form back too?" asked Harry.
Tommy nodded, "Yeah. Sally insisted she should go instead of me. But she probably only wanted to get shoes and leave you in the dust."
"And Dick?" asked Harry.
Tommy shrugged, "Dick's too busy being the Big Giant Head's slave right now. He got caught stealing rare artifacts."
"In reality, Tommy is the oldest alien in our crew, and is not my nephew. You see, aliens have to take caution in living among humans. Here, it's simple." - Harry
"I'm not ready to leave this planet yet.." whined Harry, "I just got here..."
"You've been here for at least 35 days, almost a month!" replied Tommy.
"Still, it's not enough..." complained Harry.
Tommy sighed, "You should be glad I came, and not Sally or Dick. They would've berated you the entire time here."
"Well, I'm going the best I can to survive out here," smiled Harry, "Who knows... I'll be the one walking away with the prize."
Tommy muttered to himself, "If these guys were idiots they would."
"I have probably 4 or 5 days left here, and then I'm going back to the homeworld. I'll miss this human body... I grew to love it." - Harry
– – – – –
Exile Island Night 34
Ling Ling was pissed off. Not only was he pissed at Metal Mario, but also Stephen.
"Why you no tell me you knew Benjamin Tan?" yelled Ling Ling.
"I wanted to keep it a secret," replied Stephen, "Everyone would believe I was some kind of evil mastermind or something."
"I half expected to see my sister's husband today, but instead, Ben himself showed up in his place. Turns out, I'm Uncle Stephen now." - Stephen
"What kind of mastermind get their tribe eliminated one after one?" replied Ling Ling.
Stephen shrugged, "Bad luck! That's all! Anyway! This isn't something to complain about! I should've agreed with you in the first place. Metal Mario isn't on our side."
Ling Ling nodded, "About time, man."
"Metal Mario is big threat. He deserve to go home after he treat Ling Ling like dirt!" - Ling Ling
– – – – –
Cact-X Day 35
After the loved ones had taken their leave, Metal Mario and Stepney returned to camp. Harry was waiting patiently for them.
"Welcome back fellas!" smiled Harry, "How was it?"
"It was mega fun, Harry! You should've been there!" replied Stepney.
"This morning, I decided that I was going to show both Harry and Metal Mario the idol. I know we won't need it ever, but why keep them out of the loop?" - Stepney
"Hey guys," smiled Stepney, pulling out the idol, "Ain't this thing a beaut?"
Both Harry and Metal Mario were amazed to see the idol in Stepney's hands.
"Nice..." noted Metal Mario, "When did you find it?"
"Found it at my last visit to Exile Island." replied Stepney.
"I'm a tad... surprised to see Stepney holding an immunity idol in his hands. I'm more surprised to know that he kept it a secret from us, including me." - Metal Mario
"But we won't need it right?" asked Harry.
Stepney shook his head, "Nah, not at all, mate. Next two to go: Ling Ling and Stephen. Doesn't matter the order."
"My alliance consists of myself, Metal Mario, and Stepney. I would feel comfortable... if Metal Mario wasn't involved in this alliance. He betrayed my closest ally... you think I'm supposed to forget that?" - Harry
– – – – –
"Come on in guys!"
The remaining castaways entered the challenge area.
"We'll bring in Ling Ling and Stephen, both returning from Exile Island."
Both Ling Ling and Stephen rejoined the rest of the group.
"Guys ready for today's immunity challenge?"
Everyone nodded.
"I'll take back immunity from you, Harry."
Harry did so.
"For today's challenge, you will each be standing on a perch out in the ocean. Near each perch will be a very thin tube. Down at the bottom of the tube is a flag. You will have a bucket with you, dip the bucket into the water, get as much water as possible, and then pour the water into the tube. When you think the flag is close enough to reach, grab it, and pull it out. First person to get their flag out wins immunity, and will go to the Final 4."
Everyone got situated.
"Survivors ready? GO!"
Everyone dipped their buckets into the water, and filled it up with water. Stephen and Stepney were taking their sweet time with their bucket, conserving as much water as possible. Harry and Ling Ling were quite sloppy with their buckets. Metal Mario was doing sub-par.
10 minutes later...
Stephen, Stepney, and Harry's tubes were 3/4's of the way full. Ling Ling was trying to squeeze his tiny hands down the tube ferociously trying to grab the flag, but to no avail.
Harry started to slow down, due to the excessive heat. However, Stepney and Stephen did not slow down, and it was soon neck and neck between them.
Stepney thought about allowing Stephen to win, in order to seal Ling Ling's fate, but he decided to finish it out strong and play fair.
In the end...
…
…
…
…
"Done!" said a voice.
"STEPNEY WINS IMMUNITY! GUARANTEED FINAL 4!"
Everyone clapped for Stepney.
"Great effort Stepney! With this win, you are going to the Final 4. As for the others, one of you will not enjoy the spoils of the Final 4, and instead become our fifth jury member. See you all later."
– – – – –
Cact-X Day 36
Stephen and Ling Ling were talking to eachother.
"No use in trying anything," noted Stephen, "But we should try to convince them to vote Metal Mario."
Ling Ling nodded, "It good plan. Metal Mario betray Savaii tribe. Metal Mario pay for action."
Stephen chuckled at the hypocritical statement.
"Ling Ling feel in danger tonight, but Ling Ling need to get Metal Mario out. Metal Mario playing back stabber game." - Ling Ling
While they were talking, Harry came up to talk.
"Can I ask you guys something?" asked Harry.
Both Ling Ling and Stephen shrugged.
"I really want to vote Metal Mario out for what he did to Sweet Tooth," explained Harry, "I feel like it's up to me to avenge Sweet Tooth."
"Metal Mario isn't immune tonight, and I really don't care what Stepney thinks of me after this, but I'm taking him out. So, in order to get votes, I went to Stephen and Ling Ling for good old help." - Harry
"We were kind of planning on doing the same," replied Stephen, "Why are you doing it?"
"Metal Mario betrayed Sweet Tooth and got rid of him," explained Harry, "I cannot rest until he's taken care of."
Ling Ling looked over at Stephen, a thought in his head.
"Suddenly, Ling Ling came up with new idea. Screw Metal Mario tonight, but Harry go home instead. Plus, Ling Ling don't know if Harry telling the truth." - Ling Ling
"Harry-san, we think of it," replied Ling Ling, "Tonight, Metal Mario get back door in rear."
Harry smiled, shook their hands, and went off.
"What're you thinking?" asked Stephen. Ling Ling told him everything he had in mind.
Stephen cringed, "I... don't know if it'll work, man."
"Harry could be lying to us!" yelled Ling Ling, "But if it not, telling Stepney and Metal Mario would benefit!"
"Ling Ling switched the plans, now it's Harry we're voting against tonight. I still think we should keep our word to Harry, and vote Metal Mario. Harry might be dumb, but I can tell if he's lying or not." - Stephen
Ling Ling left Stephen alone, and went to go have this conversation with Stepney. After the conversation was over, Stepney went to talk with Metal Mario about it.
"Ling Ling told me something interesting..." said Stepney.
"What is it?" asked Metal Mario.
Stepney sighed, "He said Harry wants to vote you out tonight. Says he feels hurt for what you did to Sweet Tooth."
Metal Mario shook his head.
"C'mon Harry? Really! Sweet Tooth isn't a God or something, just your go-to guy! You don't need revenge over something so stupid!" - Metal Mario
Just then, Harry showed up.
"What's going on fellas?" he asked cheerfully.
Metal Mario turned to him, "...Say Harry, are you trying to get me out tonight?"
Harry was surprised, "Uh... where did you hear that?"
"Ling Ling." replied Stepney.
Harry was upset in his head.
"Well why did you have to go and tell people, Ling Ling? I trusted you to help me! Guess I can't trust him anymore, can I?" - Harry
"False information," replied Harry, quickly, "Nothing more. I'm with you guys tonight. Trust me! Final 3 to the end!"
He bro fisted both Metal Mario and Stepney.
"I trust Harry... but sometimes... the man lacks common sense and intelligence." - Stepney
– – – – –
The Cact-X tribe entered tribal council.
"We'll bring in the members of our jury,"
"Brandon,"
Brandon was wearing a black turtleneck, and gray slacks.
"Bruce,"
Bruce was wearing a gray sweatshirt and matching sweatpants.
"Mikayla,"
Mikayla was wearing a red jacket, and blue jeans.
"And Sweet Tooth, voted out at the last tribal council."
Sweet Tooth was wearing a simple clown outfit. Even though you couldn't see it, his deadly gaze was looking straight at Metal Mario.
"After this vote, we'll be down to the Final 4. Anything can happen in these last few nights. Stepney, how do you plan on making it to the Final 2?" asked Jeff.
"I have to stay loyal to my alliance. That's just plain and simple, mate. I'm pretty sure everyone left in the Final 5 has betrayed at least one person." replied Stepney.
Sweet Tooth nodded.
"Metal Mario, that ring true to you?" asked Jeff.
Metal Mario nodded.
"Of course it does. Last tribal council, I betrayed Sweet Tooth. Do I feel bad about it? Course I do." replied Metal Mario.
Sweet Tooth didn't buy it.
"Ling Ling, have you betrayed someone so far?" asked Jeff.
Ling Ling shrugged.
"If Ling Ling has, Ling Ling don't know about it." replied Ling Ling.
"Ok, it's time to vote, Metal Mario, you're up."
– – –
Harry's Vote: Sorry buddy, but you cannot be trusted. (Ling Ling)
Ling Ling's Vote: (says nothing) (Harry)
Stepney's Vote: I trust that you're telling the truth about this... (?)
– – –
"If anyone has the hidden immunity idol, and you want to play it, nows the time to do so."
No one did anything.
"Okay, when the votes are read and the decision is final, person voted out must leave the tribal council area immediately. I'll read the votes."
First vote, Ling Ling. (He rolled his eyes.)
…
Harry. One vote Harry, one vote Ling Ling. (He raised an eyebrow.)
…
…
Harry. Two votes Harry, one vote Ling Ling.
…
…
…
Ling Ling. Tied two votes Ling Ling, two votes Harry, one vote left. (Ling Ling growled.)
Fourteenth person voted out of Survivor Aquatic Ruin, and the fifth member of our jury...
…
…
...Ling Ling. That's enough, you need to hand me your torch.
Ling Ling growled, "Ling Ling want you all to burn in hell!"
"Ling Ling, the tribe has spoken."
He snuffed out his torch.
"Time for you to go."
Ling Ling ran out of the tribal council area.
"You are now the Final 4. You guys have 3 more days out here in the Aquatic Ruins, I expect some epic last minute moves coming up, because it's still anyone's game. Grab your torches, and head on out. Good night."
– – – – –
Ling Ling's Final Words
"Ling Ling wanted million dollar and sexy lady after Survivor over! Agh! Ling Ling deserve it more then anyone left in Survivor! No one derserve it at all! Stephen is Upolu! Metal Mario betray Sweet Tooth! Stepney floating! And Harry is moron!"

Ling Ling – Metal Mario, Stepney, and Harry
