Ticket here and I have to say…this is a long-ish part. Do you like watching people overstep their boundaries? If you said "yes," you'll love this part!
Also, this will have a longer Tribal Council than normal.
Enjoy!
Saloto: Day 26
Yesterday, Shane he had a system in mind to keep the five strong. The only question is: What is this system?
We'd all find out as Shane gathers his alliance members by the water well, to brief them about his plan.
"The women are cool people, but we're all still players at the end of the day. I'm gonna cut right to the chase: have any of you heard about the Buddy System?" That one question sends PTSD to any Survivor fan on the beach.
"How would your system even benefit us?" asks Metal. "It would stop the women from turning us against each other. We have an easy path to end, all we gotta do is just pick 'em off one by one. If we let them escape these next votes, one of 'em can sneak to final Tribal, and beat us." While Shane had a point about under-the-radar threats…the DOCTORS weren't buying it 100%.
"Ok, so let's say we use the system. What happens when one of them gets an idol? We won't know who's going to get any votes!" Smart point from Doof.
"None of them has an idol, that's why they're scrambling. If we get to seven, it don't matter what they do. There's five of us, two of them, we just gotta split the votes and it's over with. Works out well for us." Good counter, but one problem: it's still final eight.
"Yes wise guy, but you're forgetting about the jury!" argues Nefarious…and Shane turns to him. He tries his damndest to keep his composure. "Then we'll just tell 'em why we used the system. Look man, I don't want us divided but if we keep talking to those girls it's gonna get worse, I can promise you that."
Nefarious doesn't shout back at him, no matter how strongly he wants to.
"Ooook, fiiine…" that's the same tone he used talking to Qwark. Uh oh. "Have it your way." Shane shakes his head. "You aren't gonna regret this." He steps back to face the rest of his alliance now. "I hear your concerns, and if we don't like the system, we can just use it for this one. If Diana leaves, that's the best case for us. If she doesn't…then we'll take out the other two. I'm just trying to help, that's all."
"It's appreciated." Oh Metal, you liar.
Metal: I have tried to keep the link between Shane and Nefarious strong for powers sake, but Shane has just showed he doesn't trust ANY of us to stick with an easy plan. Instead we are supposed to isolate people that will be voting for us? He is neck deep in paranoia.
Doofenschmirtz: Where did Smart Shane go? I want HIM back! But we're stuck with a lunatic who thinks 24/7 surveillance is going to keep us loyal to the—NO YOU KNOW WHAT'S WORSE? HE'S not following his own rules!
Nefarious: AGAIN, so big, yet SO DUMB.
Jeffery: …I don't care. As long as I get to stay.
The four head off alone, Shane-free… to have a bigger scale talk about his system. Nefarious has a lot to say, because he's Nefarious.
"—and after all that time he targets me, he expects me to just BOW DOWN to that like i'm his subordinate?! That's ridiculous! Metal, Doofenschmirtz, we here on Loto appreciate your offer for this fivesome, but I'm ready to downgrade it to a FOURSome after what I just heard!" Nefarious is definitely not on the Shane train anymore!
"This is screwed up!" exclaims Doof. Even DOOF, the one who fought to get back to the Saolo, is thinking about withdrawing. "How much do you bet Shane's off talking to one of them?"
(Nefarious) "A thousand percent!"
"If he has that's bananas, he doesn't even practice what he preaches! And to think Metal..we wanted this guy over Snow." Metal steps in. "Shane is being a nuisance, but let's not forget how we would have been out much earlier had we not picked him. NOW, he's getting overbearing."
"Overbearing? Metal, he's more than overbearing. He thinks he's in charge." points out Nefarious, who was well, half-right about that. Even though Doof and Metal are using him to be "the face" of the alliance, Shane was still necessary ti get here. "I'll be honest with you Saolo, this isn't going to stop me from conspiring, this is pushing me to do it more!"
The two Saolo note that.
"If we can get rid of Diana I think it'll be fine." Jeffery, always the optimist. "He's just freaking out a bit. Maybe if we talk to him, he'll reconsider this." Doof vigorously shakes his head. "It's Shane. When his mind's set on something, he's going to do it."
"Agreed." Metal says. "The decision of who stays and goes is up to us. If Diana loses, then it will be trickier. She certainly wins if she gets to the end. If she wins her third immunity, Shane is a high possibility."
"Not just a high one, THE possibility." Nefarious is relishing in this Shane hate. "If Diana loses that's just going to complicate this…"
Metal: THIS may be our only time to take a shot at Diana. She has everything needed to win this game. If she gets to the end, looking like an underdog who has fought her way there, she certainly wins. With Qwark and Erin over there, that's two locked in already.
Now the other side.
Metal: At the same time, if we get rid of Shane it will soothe everyone…AND put me in a power position. Not only that, but I will get votes at the end for making the call to blindside a big player. I have tried to be Shane's "close" ally as long as possible, but his paranoia is clouding his judgement, and he may have to pay the price for it.
Would it be best to let the women know what Shane's doing? While keeping them in the dark would make picking them off easier, and make the secret foursome's path to the end easier..it would also burn jury votes. Not only would it burn votes, but it would slander Shane to the jury if he got the end.
Regardless of the risk, The blue robot and purple bot IMMEDIATELY go to Jenna, who Nefarious suggested since she's the only person he actually has any trust with at all.
"Do not let Shane know we are selling him out…but he made a plan to kill your chances." Blunt opening from Metal.
"So prison?"
"It's all about control with him. He thinks that if we make it to five, he has the numbers."
Jenna's mouth is agape. "Why didn't he just say 'vote Jenna' or anyone else. He's overcomplicating it." Lightbulb! "Sorry that's happening to you. I know we're supposed to be enemies but..if you ever wanna just..GET RID OF HIM right now, please let us know."
Nefarious snickers. "Oh I'm considering it." The two turn to Metal, awaiting his response. "If he thinks we need babysat, he's going to be sorry."
"Exactly! People want to talk, so let them talk. He acts like it's the end of the world if you guys go off on your own." says Jenna. "God forbid…" Then, it all clicks for them. He only put the Buddy System into place after seeing the "enemy" have fun with his allies.
"He crippled our faith in him due to a silly game." Right on Metal. "It's looking more likely he's getting the boot if that helps you at all."
"Oh it helps a lot!"
Jenna: I actually feel bad for them, it sounds like hell over there. If Diana loses that's going to make it harder on them because…she's a threat and may never lose that necklace! BUT I'm praying they give us the call, and we take him out. He really thinks he's a mastermind?
Saloto: Night 26
The moon is out and about, and it's time for another night scene!
Remember that conversation that just happened? Yeah she immediately takes this to her girls, and their reactions say everything.
Michonne looks dead. "It was a matter of time." She's practically a fortune teller. "He was scared of Cassidy, he was scared of the Loto, now he's scared of us. At least he's consistent." Michonne really does not care if you were allies or not, if she wants to dog on you or anything, she will. "I'm surprised nobody has said that to his face yet."
"You should have."
"I tried but he just closed me off when I tried to keep us together. After hearing about what I just heard? Maybe it's for the best." explains Michonne, who considers herself lucky this time. She did use the Buddy System during the apocalypse for safety, but this isn't the apocalypse.
Michonne: Shane treats this game like it's the apocalypse. It's not, and he needs to learn that lesson tonight before he turns into a dictator. I've had ENOUGH of those…
"If the chaos over there keeps me here, we should team up with them. At least this time." Diana suggests, reading the mind of Jenna. "I was just about to say that! Shane's going to go hard on us, so we should go harder. After he's gone? It's fair game."
"We'd be at a disadvantage anyways, but if we can get Shane out of here? It will be easier to pull someone over here. We don't have an idol, only one of us can win immunity..so getting those men with us is the only choice we have." states Diana. To no one's surprise, Shane was the target again, but after what he pulled, it may be a little bit different.
Diana: Yesterday, I thought I was toast. But after Jenna told me Shane upset his alliance, that window of opportunity opened up. I'll always be target one while I'm here, but if Shane leaves that gives us a bigger opportunity to not only get a fourth…but communicate more with our tribe. After what I heard, I don't regret voting against him. He thinks he's a Mafiaso? He's about to be proven wrong.
Immunity Challenge: Day 27
"Come on in!"
The eight Saloto enter the challenge area, spotting Jeff Probst next to the immunity necklace stand, and the challenge right behind him. Diana is back with the necklace once again around her neck. Her neck would be on the line without it, so winning another is a must for her.
"I'll take that back.."
Diana unhooks her necklace and hands it to Jeff, who heads straight for the stand. After hooking it on, he turns to the final eight. Everyone knows, that it's challenge time baby. "Immunity is back up for grabs. For today's challenge, you will dig up nine puzzle pieces. After that you will use those pieces to assemble a cube. If even one piece is off, you will have to rebuild."
Yikes.
"The first person to solve the puzzle wins immunity, and is probably safe at tonight's Tribal." Yeah, probably. "I'll give you a minute to prepare and we'll get started…"
Eight castaways were born to run, and are about to fulfill their purpose.
"Fourth immunity on the line! Survivors ready? GO!"
They are off, and dig for those pieces.
First, the strongest castaway, or castaways left if you think so, Diana, Shane, and Michonne get their first pieces out of nine. Metal gets his first one, and so on. Diana and Shane hit their podium first and set the piece down.
Meanwhile, Nefarious lays his first piece to the side, and digs up his second. He sets that second piece to the side, and gets his third. While Diana gets her pieces on the podium, Nefarious continues sorting his pieces.
"Diana with a fast approach, Nefarious taking his time…"
Diana has five pieces on the podium, while Nefarious has five pieces on the side. Meanwhile, Shane and Michonne have four pieces.
"Two horse race, but more can jump in anytime."
This fast vs. slow approach continues until the Amazon has all nine pieces on the table. While she works on the bottom, Nefarious carries his pieces to the podium. He was egotistical as all hell..,but he was still smart.
Diana applies a piece to the middle, but when she goes to finish it up…it doesn't fit. Nefarious watches her mistakes. He copies the bottom, since she DID get that right, but constructs the middle to counter those mistakes.
"Nefarious, watching and learning. This is rare from him.."
"Cram it, Jeff!"
"Nefarious frustrated at me, but he should focus on the puzzle instead."
Gotta love Jeff.
Anyways, after constructing the middle, he works on the top. While he takes the lead, everyone else is at the bottom, except for Diana who wraps up the middle of the cube and moves to the top.
She tries to pick up the pace, but unfortunately for her, it's too late.
"I watched AND learned, Jeff! SEE?"
Jeff examines his puzzle. Three pieces make a square on the bottom, three on the middle, and three on the top. He throws his hands up.
"NEFARIOUS WINS INDIVIDUAL IMMUNITY!"
Nefarious smacks his puzzle off the podium!"
"YES!"
He cackles as he prances to the necklace stand. Jenna can't hide her smile, she hasn't seen him THIS happy in a long time!
Jenna: Diana losing sucks, but when Nefarious celebrated…I couldn't help it. He's been a villain since we got here but seeing him act like a toddler is so silly.
Jeff unhooks the necklace, and Nefarious just takes it from him! Jeff, resisting the urge to lay him out right then and there, decides to brush it off. A lawsuit would get him kicked off.
"…You're clearly happy."
Nefarious hooks the necklace around himself and throws both arms like he just won a world title. Before Jeff addresses the players, he whispers to him:
"Do that again, you're done."
"Huh?"
Jeff clears his throat and focuses on the seven players who lost. "Nefarious cannot be voted out tonight. As for the rest of you, your lives are on the line. One of you will be sent to the jury. Make sure it isn't you. Head back to camp, I'll see you tonight."
The final eight leaves Jeff at the challenge area to hit Saloto again, for a vote that can go either way.
Michonne: If Diana won, we'd be comfortable. But now? Two of the biggest bulls on the island are going head to head.
Saloto: Day 27
The eight castaways re-enter camp, Nefarious flaunting his necklace around.
"What do you think?!"
Here comes the arrogance again.
(Shane) Nice.
(Metal) You we're impressive coming in last minute.
(Diana) You're good at puzzles.
At least she can take the L. If she was annoyed most of it would be at his attitude.
Diana: Shane's pointing his gun at me, but I don't think he realizes his team is pointing their guns at him. There's still time for Shane to turn them against us, and I just have to show them that sticking with Shane isn't the way to go. They feel his paranoia now…but are they going to pull the trigger?
Shane gets the guys together to give one final push towards Diana. She IS free game after all.
"This is it. No immunity, no idols, it's open season." says Shane, trying to pump his guys up. She could still have an idol, but given they're banking on the guys going there way…not likely. Shane doesn't leave it at that though.
"This may be the ONLY time she loses. I'm gonna feel dumb if we don't get her out tonight. Look, I know my Buddy System idea wasn't the best, but if we can lock those girls out, that's a weight off our shoulders. We don't want Diana at the endgame." Pitching hard.
"None of us do. If the women approach us, we will lie to their faces. It's all we can do at this point." states Metal, which gets a nod from Shane. "I respect it."
Shane: Diana's my only concern. Once she's gone, it's smooth' sailin.
The deputy scans his men. All are staring dead at his soul, minus Nefarious who tries to keep his glare under wraps.
"..you good?"
"Oh it's just the weather making me miserable. Everyone is."
The suns shining right on him. Shane does raise a brow, but to him this wasn't the time to fight.
"..Ok. I feel that. I've been messed up too man."
Shane: The only threat to our safety's Nefarious. I gotta put my trust in him again. If I go to the jury? We're gonna have a talk.
While one targets reassured his guys, another knows Shane is vulnerable. Diana grabs Metal and Doof specifically, and makes her case.
"He's unpredictable. He should have trusted you, but instead wants to watch over EVERYTHING…that's not right." she says, and his two allies give each other a look, one of doubt..and look back at her. Who were they doubting?
"Yeah, he and surprise: Nefarious, got heated. I'm not gonna lie, you would have been an easy pick but Shane's messed it all up." admits Doof. Normally someone would be upset that they were just told, straight up, they would have been next.
Diana didn't care, she knew before he even said anything.
"If he's going to keep doing this, your alliance won't survive. Anywhere Shane is, chaos follows." Snow, Cassidy, and Qwark were set on his sights and those were tense times. Diana did really have a point after all. "You can vote me out later, but Shane is becoming a problem."
Doof's backs up. "You're just going to throw yourself under like that?!"
"I'm in danger every time I lose a challenge. I can't throw myself any further."
"You know what? Fair enough." states Doof, who turns to Metal. "Can we talk for a second?"
"Absolutely." responds the bot. Before he leaves, he stares at Diana. "No matter what happens, it isn't personal."
The two head off, while Diana goes back to her own business. Right now it seems down the middle.
Diana: If I go home, I did my best. If I stay? Then I have more fight left in me. I know after this, Metal and Doof will be an issue, but they're nowhere close to a mess like Shane is.
The two long-time allies head off on their own for this game-time decision. While Nefarious and Jeffery weren't there at the time, they'd be filled in.
Doofenschmirtz, although not happy with Shane, is still at his defense. Shane DID back him up against Wily so there was still loyalty there. "The BuDdY SyStEm was extreme, but I don't really know if I want him gone THIS much. Diana could still win everything at this point. Shane's a power hungry tyrant but..WE are too, we can just get rid of him later." he says.
"He can still plot to get rid of us early. Michonne is on the other side, and Jenna is a free agent. He could also still convince Jeffery to flip because in the end, Jeffery does what he wants." Jeffery isn't the most strategic so Metal may have a point.
"I know Shane's paranoid but Wonder Woman is going to run away with this! What if she never loses again? What if Shane's right? We're never going to live it down, she has THREE people on the jury!" argues Doof. "Besides…he defended me. Diana didn't. Why should we keep somebody who isn't going to defend us?"
"She said it best: if we vote out Shane, she'll be next. They are both expendable." Oh wow, Metal throwing around that toxic boss terminology. "I'm well aware Diana is our biggest threat left. BUT, she's not domineering like Shane is. If Shane actually had faith in us, he would not have imposed the system." explains Metal.
Metal: I'm not one for restrictions. If you are my ally, I'm going to make the decision with you or for you, not obey dumb commands like some underling.
Doof isn't backing down. "Look I was upset too, but we can just switch the order!"
"Even if we DO switch the order, there's another issue with this alliance: His rivalry with Nefarious. It's better for us to keep Nefarious around because if we get to the final three? He will not win a jury vote." Harsh prediction. "Getting rid of Michonne and Jenna will be overcomplicated because let's face it, Nefarious will not stick to the Buddy System, and it will cause more drama." he continues.
"Well Diana staying just makes it a four to three…"
"It's a risk I'm willing to take. Four of us united, is better than five of us divided."
Speaking of the jury.
"Besides Heinz…if we do cut Shane, the jury will only respect us more."
"Are you sure?"
"Positive."
There's a few seconds of silence filled, before Doof speaks up again.
"It's bothering me..is this strategy? Or is this our egos speaking because we all have one.
"Maybe it's both. No matter anyways because once both of them are gone…" Metal turns to Doof. "We have all the power."
"..ooooh."
Doofenschmirtz: Metal is really power hungry, we should have seen it from the start! But am I going to stab him NOW? Of course not, I'd get bullied on Twitter for it! That's SHANE'S job not mine! It's best to just stick to two people. We all know where getting power hungry gets you..
Metal: Shane has made a fool of himself. However, Diana is our biggest threat left. Tonight can be summed up as a battle: Safe Play versus Power Play.
Tribal Council: Night 27
The eight castaways make their entrance into the Tribal Council area, unlit torches in hand.
"If you haven't already, dip your torches into the fire. Fire represents your life in this game, when it's gone, so are you." They take a dip and set their torches down, taking a seat for the eleventh Tribal of the season. Across from them is Wily, Qwark, and the newest member of the jury, Erin.
Wily faces her. "So what are we looking at?"
"Shane and Diana…really don't like eachother."
Qwark crosses his arms. "Could've fooled me." The bitterness is seeping out.
After the jury finishes up, Jeff begins the newest edition of Tribal Council.
"Almost every single time we come here, it's callouts, after callouts." opens the host. "And right now, it's like there are still lines in the sand. It's alliance versus alliance, one wants to stay on top while the other is desperate to take power….Is this the case Jeffery?" he asks, sending the focus onto the oldest.
"..yeah. Earlier today, Shane and Diana came up with their ideas and now we gotta pick a side: be loyal, or be a liar." Jeff focuses on Diana next.
"Diana, if you are on the bottom, would you blame the people you WANT to vote with you..for sticking to their alliance?" he asks.
"We are on the bottom, so of course I'll want people to vote with us. If they go back to an alliance that treats them well, it's easy to understand why they don't flip, but if they go back to an alliance that can't get its sh*t together, then I'd be sitting on the jury wondering why they went back." she explains.
"Are you suggesting the majority's cracking?"
"They could. I've worked with Shane before, and he drives the conversation, the strategy, he's a dominant personality Jeff." Truer words have never been spoken. "He takes pride in what he does, and I'm the same way."
"Is there a con to being dominant?"
"I've seen domineering men throw a fit when they don't get their way. I'm sure Shane isn't like this in real life, but when someone like him is deserted on an island, it has a toll on the brain." she says, and that reels his attention in even further.
"You callin' me crazy?"
"No. I'm saying you are stubborn."
EVERYONE faces Shane now, waiting for him to come back. While Shane stares at her, Erin whispers to Qwark…
"She's not wrong."
"Oh yeah, not usually."
Shane opens his mouth. "Lemme tell you somethin', I'm not stubborn for targeting you. YOU jumped ship first, I was gonna protect you, but you took my trust, and threw it back in my face. These guys?" he gestures towards the remaining men. "They're loyal. There's a reason you're on the outs."
"I was on the bottom of the Saolo 'Six', you were going to target me the moment I lost a challenge." she rebuttles.
"I was gonna target you if you flipped, and guess what you did?"
The jury looks at Diana.
"I KNOW what I did, I'm not six."
Back to Shane.
"Yeah, you're eighth."
Oh. My. God. Doof whispers something to Metal, while Nefarious nods at Jeffery. On the jury bench, Erin just shakes her head.
"What a douche.."
He catches her saying it too!
"You guys can call me whatever you want, but I'm doing this to get us closer to the end. You guys think Diana's gonna LOSE at the end? She's gonna have three votes on lock, and if she wins all these challenges? No contest." he argues, before facing his alliance members.
"You guys gonna turn on me because I'm being a little 'mean'?" he asks. Metal looks at the jury and sees Erin and Qwark facepalming.
Jenna speaks up on this. "No, if they turn on you they know it's about power. Are you SEEING a the jury right now?"
"The jury's just mad I outwitted 'em. DOOF, I protected you because Wily wouldn't shut his mouth about you, are you gonna turn your back on me because those girls keep plantin' seeds?" he asks. Doof just rests a hand on his chin. "No, but I'm not going to lie, you ARE aggressive."
"I HAVE to be aggressive to protect us man. Remember Snow? If I wasn't aggressive, his group would've picked you off already. Remember the OG Loto? If I didn't call for Cassidy's head, they would have picked us off." he reasons, and to be fair Snow's case called for aggression. Cassidy's? Still up for debate."
Jenna steps back in. "You don't have to be aggro all the time!"
"I'm gonna be aggravated, because you girls are tryna' turn this easy vote into philosophy class!"
Michonne gets in on this. "We're fighting, of course we're going to make this a hard vote. Besides, there are cracks in your own alliance. Can't you see that calming down may do you a favor?"
"C-calming down? YOU chose her, and you want me to calm down? NO! I told you when we first met, that being a passive little b*tch about this isn't gonna work out. You gotta FIGHT for it, and guess what? I'm fightin'!"
"Your alliance knows you have to stick together, and you're forcing it down their throats every Tribal Council. They don't need reminders, so stop insulting their intelligence." Jeez, Michonne with the reality check. "I'll correct Diana too..you're not a dominant personality, you're an aggressive one."
"Why are you tellin' me this?"
"We could be in a stable place, but you blew it up because Diana hurt your ego."
DAMN.
"If you weren't such an asshole about her, you wouldn't have to play aggressively."
CHILL MICHONNE, CHILL.
"Can't change the past Mich. It's game time. If you wanna stay here longer you should stay quiet so we can vote."
Shane…what have you done?
"We'll see if you're still here." says Michonne. Jenna goes to open her mouth again but Michonne puts a hand on her shoulder. "Not right now."
Jeff has a big smile on his face. He wanted drama, he got it. But in Survivor, voteouts payoff the drama, and it was time…
"If we're done, it is time to vote. Diana, you're up first."
Wonder Woman leaves her stump for the voting booth.
Diana: You've been running the show for far too long. Every King meets their demise. (Shane)
Shane: I don't care what these people say, you gotta go, that's all there is to it. (Diana)
Doofenschmirtz: I can't believe we're here right now. (?)
After voting, the nine castaways return to their stumps.."I'll tally the votes.." states Jeff, who heads to get the voting urn. Diana and Shane make eye contact.
"5 to 3." he says.
"7 to 1."
"We'll see."
They face Jeff again, who pops the idol question: "If anyone has a hidden immunity idol, and would like to play it, now would be the time to do so…" that's when Shane turns around to face his fellow castaways.
"Anybody?"
That's when Nefarious steps up. He heads towards Jeff and whips out his immunity idol.
"You know Jeffery, I may forget but I don't forgive…"
Shane's brows shoot up.
"I'm playing this for Diana…"
Diana turns to Shane's "allies". Metal stares ahead with no visible remorse. Doof has a hand over his mouth, trying to keep that evil cackle in. Jeffery just looks down to Shane.
"Sorry."
Shane's mouth is agape. "You didn't…" While the realization hits him, Nefarious walks back with a smile on his face, and takes a seat.
"I can't believe I'M saying this, but you really need to learn when to shut your mouth."
Shane LOCKS his eyes on Nefarious, as Jeff prepares his reveal. "This IS a hidden immunity idol, any votes cast for Diana will not count." Nefarious is having a staring contest with him, as Jeff opens the lid and reaches in for the parchment.
"I'll read the votes…"
Shane just shakes his head at the metal alien. "You stupid b*tch…"
"I WIN."
Shane rubs his scalp and turns to Diana, who just shrugs at him.
"Who's eighth now?"
For once, he has no words and faces Jeff. The jury bench is happy, with Qwark clapping as LOUD as he can!
"That's what he gets!"
Wily is snickering to himself, and Erin is actually smiling. It's a mid-merge Tribal, and they're acting like it's Christmas.
Jeff pulls out the first piece of parchment.
"First vote…"
— Diana. Will not count.
"Second vote…"
— Shane.
Shane smacks his own leg.
— Shane.
— Shane. That's three votes Shane, none for Diana, four votes left..
— Shane. Four votes Shane…
Jenna is chuckling, while Michonne looks towards Metal and Doof, her former allies, and winks at them. They both wink back.
.
.
.
"Eleventh person voted out, and the fourth member of the jury..Shane."
Shane just grabs his torch and gets up.
"Time for you to go."
He turns his back to the rest of the castaways, the salt smelled by everyone.
"Let's see you get to the end now."
He walks up to Jeff and sets his torch down.
"Put me out of my misery."
"Shane…"
He raises his snuffer.
"The tribe has spoken."
He snuffs his torch.
"Time for you to go."
Shane goes to leave…but stops himself. He turns back around and has one last message before his exit.
"Oh yeah, Nefarious…have fun winnin' the jury bud."
"Have fun being on there, BUD."
Before Jeff can stop him, Shane walks UP to Nefarious and gets in his face!
"I'm never gonna forgive you for this."
"GOOD!"
"Oh this is just some game to you, huh?"
Diana uses her strength to shove the two apart!
"Save it for another time."
Shane goes to walk up again, but Diana gets in his way.
"Like he said, it's time to go. You should go. It's not a suggestion."
The man slowly walks backwards, keeping eye contact with Nefarious.
"See you on the jury."
He leaves the Tribal Council area…for good this time. Jeff watches him leave, and then takes a look back at the final seven. Diana is speaking with Nefarious.
"Are you alright?"
"I've never been better!" Nefarious just can't wipe that smile off his face. This is maybe the pettiest idol play of all time.
The two take a seat, so Jeff can say his final words for the night.
"I think it's safe to say…tonight's going to be peaceful." The final seven chuckle about that one. He was right, in a uncomfortable way. "Head back to camp, have a good night."
With that, the remaining seven castaways get to their feet, grab their lit torches, and leave the Tribal Council area. As they head into the night, they know for sure that things will be different around camp this time.
Shane's Final Words
Shane: I drag those guys all the way here, and this is what I get. They all flipped on me. Traitorous sons of b*tches. Nefarious didn't even NEED to play his idol, he just did it to piss me off even more and y'know what? It worked. The next time I see him, it's not gonna be sunshine and raimbows

Let's talk about Shane, and oh boy we have alot to talk about.
Shane grabbed Michonne, Erin, Metal, and Doof to rebel against what could have been a powerful majority of Snow, Wily, Mary, and Amelia. So from what we know, Shane's always played hard from the start. What solidified that for me, was his blindside of Cassidy. I don't think Cassidy thought Cruella had a chance to stay at all.
Then the merge came, and while Michonne and Metal knew Shane was a hard player (his two #1's), everyone started to know how hard Shane was playing during the Saolo vs. Loto wars when he declared war, and then made a "on-the-fly" call to axe Qwark…relentlessly. His stubbornness to vote for someone else caused Diana to turn on him, made Shane paranoid, and here we are.
Out of everyone that beats him, its Diana and a petty idol play.
Shane is easily the biggest character on the season (so far). His messiness made him interesting to watch, and I think he got a downfall where everyone just laid into him. He was too "out there" for people to just keep quiet about him.
Anyways, finals are coming up, but after those are done content may pump out. Episode 12A and 12B will be out soon, where we see the fallout of Shane's elimination. Have a great day!
