AN- Last time on survivor Grey's we saw George win reward with his father there to watch, and his decision to take Meredith on reward with him. Meredith then told him and his father about her mothers illness. We hope you enjoy this next part... and please review!!!
Back at the camp...
The rumors run wild as everyone has different theories about why no one turned up for Meredith. Is she an orphan? Is she a loner? Is she a psychopath? Derek assures the group that Meredith is indeed not a psychopath she just has something in her past that is none of their business...
The group then turns their attention to Cristina and asks if she is ok and why she didn't try at the challenge? Is she sick? Injured? Cristina just tells them that she and her mother have a very complicated relationship and that she was in no way up for spending the afternoon with her, because if she had tried she definitely would have won...
For the rest of the day the group spends it hanging about, Derek catches some fish for dinner while Izzie and Alex take a walk down the beach and around the bend, while George is away the cat will play!!!
George and Meredith return in time for dinner but are too stuffed that they decide their share can go to the others.
Later, Cristina takes Meredith aside and they have a long conversation about all things family and Alzheimer's.
The next day the group wakes and after eating their rice and coconut head out for the Immunity challenge...
at the immunity challenge they discover that it is a game of physical strength and thinking... they must go through a complicated rope course with many twists and turns and collect clues that will lead them to a buried treasure chest at the end where they must answer a final question.
As usual the challenge starts with Cristina and Derek in the lead with Alex and Meredith not far behind them... George and Izzie are also still in it as they are very close behind.
Cristina starts to pull away from the group as Derek takes a wrong turn in the rope course and is overtaken by Alex... who then takes a wrong turn and is over taken by both Derek and Meredith.
Derek seems to push himself up a notch as he races through the remainder of the course and quickly finds his way to the buried treasure, only moments behind Cristina. They are soon joined by Meredith, and they all frantically start to dig in the sand...
Derek finds his treasure first and yanks it open, just seconds before Cristina, he yells out the answer to the question and wins immunity!!!
Go Derek!!
Cristina is very frustrated as she was so close, but she has learned to behave herself better now and offers Derek her congratulations...
Back at the camp...
Tensions are high as alliances are put to the test.
Derek, Meredith and Cristina have decided to vote for Alex. Izzie and George believe that they and Meredith and Derek will be voting for Cristina. Alex hearing this decides that he too will vote for Cristina.
Meredith tries to convince Izzie that Alex is a major threat and that he has just been taking it easy over the past few challenges so as not to seem strong. Izzie is unsure if she can trust what Meredith is saying about Alex and also about taking her to the final two with her... George has said to Izzie that it is her choice; whatever she wants to do he will go along with. Izzie leaves for tribal with her mind still not made up...
When they arrive at tribal council Jeff asks them how camp life is going now they have only a few people left...
Derek says that it is actually really good because they have more food for fewer people and everyone gets a long really well.
Jeff asks Izzie about alliances... whether there are any, and how they are affecting their tribe. Izzie says that of course there are alliances but as long as everyone sticks to their word they will do okay... Meredith shifts
slightly in her seat but isn't noticed by the others... members of the jury however do notice.
Jeff says its time to vote.

Alex is the next person off and he is a little surprised at how many votes he got but takes it like a man he gives the tribe a thumbs up as he leaves and say's 'nice playing with ya!'
Back at the camp...
Most of the group feels quite good about the decision they just made. Izzie on the other hand is uneasy about Meredith and confronts her as soon as she is alone. They have a talk and Meredith assures her that she wants to take her to the final 2 and she is only hanging out with Cristina so much as a cover.
Meredith, Derek and Cristina talk to each other once George and Izzie have gone to bed. They are ecstatic because they believe they are now home and hosed to be the final 3. They discuss who to vote out next and
even though it will be extremely hard, they decide on Izzie - they just hope she doesn't win Immunity. Meredith is all upset because from now on the lies she has told Izzie will come out...
Oh well, she had to do it to ensure the 3 of them were still around.
Cristina heads off to bed as Meredith and Derek stay out on the beach and snuggle...
The next day...
George Izzie and Cristina wake up to find Derek and Meredith asleep in each others arms on the beach.
Izzie thinks that it's cute, Cristina mentions that she wants to vomit. Cause Cristina is Cristina... but also she is worried. She is not 100 certain that Meredith will take her to the final two, not when she is all snuggly with McDreamy all the time.
George kicks the two of them awake and moans that someone needs to go get firewood.
Cristina immediately drags Meredith off down the beach to 'gather firewood'. She tells Mer that she is worried about the final two and is perhaps she should be making a deal with Izzie right now. Meredith looks quite startled at this and says quickly that Cristina is her person, and they are going to the final two together.
Meredith says why would she ditch Cristina who then wouldn't vote for her as a member of the jury when she can ditch Derek who will still vote for her.
Cristina asks what makes Meredith so sure he will still vote for her. Mer says because he's full of secret feelings. To which Cristina replies 'so are you'. But the conversation does a lot to ease Cristina's mind.
They bring the firewood back to camp and set about making their breakfast.
Then it's off to the reward challenge...
Jeff explains to the survivors that this reward challenge will be the last and therefore will test how much they can learn from their mistakes.
The prize will be a brand new car valued at over $50,000.
The group takes a collective gasp and then Cristina puts on her serious face, while Izzie jumps around like a madman. Derek and Meredith just look at each and smile and George is frozen solid because he just can't
believe it.
Jeff then explains the workings of the challenge. Each contestant will need to fill containers with water from 5 meters away with only a bucket to help, when the container is full a flag will be raised and they can collect the first of 3 bags.
They will then need to dig in 5 different areas of the beach to find their colored bag. Each area will have 1 bag in it, if they dig up someone else's bag they are able to bury it as much as possible before moving on - it's up to them.
Once they have both bags they will need to walk across the balance beam and then under the logs and collect the last bag.
They will then reach a station where they empty their bags and work out the clue of what they will need to eat at the last station!
It's a long challenge but it needs to be with a car on the line.
The survivor's randomly choose their colors and the get ready.
On your marks, Get set, Go
George immediately pulls away from the group, although Meredith isn't far behind. Eventually George's flag raises first with Meredith coming second, as Cristina's and Derek go up at the same time.
George runs to one of the digging areas. He finds one pretty quickly but it turns out to be Derek's. Derek misses this as, George quickly buries it and moves on. Meredith happens to find her bag first off so she is
off to the balance beams. Cristina is having no luck and after seeing a slight bit of color sticking up out the sand Derek gets his bag and is on his way. Cristina gets her bag as does Izzie before George, the last area he digs up is his - 'typical' he says to himself as he runs on...
Meredith is over the beams and making her way under the logs, Derek fell off the beam as he was too excited which meant Cristina overtook him. He is now over and heading to the logs.
Meredith reaches the station and empties her 3 bags. Being very good at puzzles she manages to solve it quite quickly and then lets out a groan as she has to eat 2 spiders...
She takes of the lid and Cristina manages to see them and it just eggs her on even more. Cristina knows that Meredith won't be able to do it!
Meredith plucks up the courage and starts to munch on one just as Derek and Izzie empty their bags. She manages to swallow it and has a quick drink of water before rounding on the next. Cristina has arrived and
doesn't hesitate as she tries to swallow the entire thing in one go. This proves to be her downfall as she starts to choke...
With one last gulp Meredith finishes the spider and opens her mouth for all to see.
Meredith wins the brand new car!!!!!!!
Meredith cannot control her excitement over winning a car. She can not stop talking about it all night, despite the fact that she knows the others are probably all jealous and wishing she would just shut up.
This is true of everyone except Derek who patiently listens and seems excited for her... Cristina mentions to Izzie that he is seriously whipped, and there is no way he is voting for anyone except her if she makes it to the final two. Izzie says that they should vote for each other if by some chance one ends up in the final two and one doesn't just for the sake of balance. Cristina agrees as she knows (or hopes) that the final two will be her and Meredith... however looking at Meredith and Derek together she is becoming increasingly concerned that if Meredith wins the final immunity challenge she will choose Derek over her for the final two...
The next day at the immunity challenge Jeff asks the five how they are doing in their final days.
Meredith says she is so hungry she could eat a horse. Jeff says that a brand new car must be worth the hunger, and Meredith agrees that it is. Izzie rolls her eyes in disgust, at yet another reference to Meredith new car.
Jeff explains the challenge. The survivors must swim out 50 meters into the ocean to a floating wooden chest, then they have to dive down holding onto a rope to collect five sand bags which they need to put in their chest. Then they need to cart the whole lot back to the beach and across the finish line.
The survivors start running and obviously the first two into the water are Derek and Cristina. Cristina reaches her chest first and dives down holding the rope, Derek arrives just seconds later and dives down.. he returns to the top just before Cristina who is starting to tire out.
By the time they have three bags the other survivors are coming up from getting their first bags.
Cristina and Derek emerge from getting their fifth bags and start frantically swimming back to shore carting their crates behind them. Cristina just becomes too tired and can only watch helplessly as Derek drags his chest over the line.
Derek wins immunity!
Meredith is thrilled that Derek has finally won another challenge. And even though Cristina is bitterly disappointed, she is happy that at least Derek not Izzie won.
The group returns to camp anxious about the upcoming vote. Izzie immediately takes Meredith away to get some firewood; however the whole camp knows that's not what they actually doing... Izzie proceeds to triple check with Meredith that the two of them are going to the final two, not Meredith and Derek. She begins to lie through her teeth saying that nothing has changed and that as far as she is concerned it's them all the way...
Izzie then suggests that they should vote for Cristina tonight, because she is a huge threat. Meredith agrees and then once Izzie has gone she goes and dry retches in the bushes...
The mood at camp for the rest of the day is very intense. Derek, Meredith and Cristina have a quick meeting while Izzie and George go for a walk. Cristina wants Izzie gone, as she is starting to piss her off quite badly complaining about the bugs and the rain and the sand and the food... The others agree, however Derek notices the look on Meredith's face and gets a funny feeling in the pit of his stomach, he is worried about the implications Meredith's lying to Izzie will have on her in the final vote... He starts to think that maybe they should vote George off now, and then maybe Izzie might not even have to know that Meredith has been lying if Cristina wins the next challenges…
On the way to tribal council Meredith lags behind with Cristina... when they arrive Meredith looks calmer and slightly less ill than when she left camp. Jeff talks to the survivors about alliances and where people draw the line. Meredith says that it's important to just play the game and to try not the let broken alliances and backstabbing be taken personally.
Jeff says its time to vote.

Izzie is the 11th person voted off. And she is super duper pissed about it. As she leaves she says to Meredith that it is personal, and it will feel pretty personal when no one votes for her in the final two.
