Previously on Cartoon Crossover Survivor!
~A worn down Paradigm Tribe is shown returning from Tribal Council after voting Siri the Leopard off~

It appeared as though losing was beginning to take its toll on the Paradigm Tribe. Everyone was down after the previous night's vote except for Manny Riveria who continued to act in a way most of his tribemates found annoying with his upbeat and unpredictable antics.
~The Savage Tribe is shown mocking the Paradigm Tribe. Sam Manson speaks. The vibe is a confident one~

The Savage Tribe was feeling confident after their string of victories. Intimidation was no longer a factor. The members of the Savage Tribe felt, at the very least, as equals when compared to their adversaries on the Paradigm Tribe
~Manny Riveria's conversation with Samurai Jack is shown, briefly~

Manny Riveria continued to fret over the wellbeing of his beloved Frida. Samurai Jack, unknowingly, bent his ear allowing the strange, unpredictable member of the Paradigm Tribe to shove some heavy feelings off his chest
~Tennyson's fish continue to stack up at camp. Abu makes a play for Sam's heart. Aladdin watches with tear filled eyes~

With the fear of being voted out subsided, personal dynamics came into play over at the Savage Tribe. Abu expressed a form of infatuation toward Sam Manson. Prince Ali was saddened that his one, true ally in the game had seemingly turned – until Ben Tennyson showed up, inviting the diminutive Ali on a fishing trip!
~The Paradigm Tribe is shown arguing over the votes cast at the previous tribal council. The argument appears to have been started by Manny Riveria~

Infighting began over at the Paradigm Tribe when Manny Riveria demanded to know who wrote his name down. The stress of his friend Frida along with the tribe's losing streak threatened to eviscerate what little sanity remained underneath his mask.
~Both tribes are shown preparing for the Immunity Challenge. There's a sense of desperation amongst the Paradigm members whereas the Savage Tribe can almost envision victory~

A pivotal tribal council was on the horizon. The Paradigm Tribe, despite their recent struggles maintained a one person advantage over The Savage Tribe. With a win, The Savage Tribe could even things up – a loss, however, would almost ensure a numbers advantage for the Paradigm Tribe heading into the merge
~The tribes are shown fishing during arguably the most important immunity challenge to date. A strange choice given Ben Tennyson's gift at snaring gilled creatures. Both tribes come up empty until Tennyson steps forward. The fish leap out of the water, flopping around his feet. Manny Riveria breaks his fishing pole in protest of the challenge~

To the surprise of no one, Ben Tennyson lured every fish within a half mile radius out of the water, onto shore. The Savage Tribe won their third consecutive challenge, sending the Paradigm Trbie to tribal council and evening up the teams. Manny Riveria, again, came up short when counted on to perform
~At Tribal Council the members of the Paradigm Tribe express their varying ideas and theories on why the challenges have taken such a drastic turn. Despite the wide array of opinions, one narrative is clear – they must start winning. Manny Riveria sees his name written more than the others and, thus, is voted out of the game. In a final act of petulance, he performs a Shooting Star Press off the bridge into the dark, green abyss beneath. We assume he lived~

Ultimately the Paradigm Tribe decided to evict its most unpredictable member. Perhaps with Manny Riveria removed they can finally find some peace and rhythm within the game. Perhaps the Paradigm Tribe can return to their winning ways. Can they snap the Savage Tribe's win streak? Or will The Savage Tribe continue to beat the Paradigm Tribe into the mud? Both tribes are tied at six members a piece…the merge is imminent…don't miss this week's episode of Cartoon Crossover Survivor!
~The opening sequence to Cartoon Crossover Survivor begins to play~

PARADIGM TRIBE – DAY 21 – POST TRIBAL COUNCIL
~The Paradigm Tribe returns to an atmosphere of which they are unaccustomed. Phillip looks around, hands perched atop his hips. He nods with approval~
Phillip DeFranco: Should be a LOT quieter around here now. Except for my luxury item!
~Phillip unveils an air horn and presses the button, sending a flock of birds flying from the trees. None of this tribe mates react with distaste toward his behavior. With Manny Riveria gone, they are all feeling a sense of ease~
Lola Bunny: Yeah it should be. I'm ready to win the next challenge.
~Everybody just kind of nods and goes about their business. It's a quiet night of reflection. Not much else to say~

SAVAGE TRIBE - DAY 22
~Frieza gets up from his sleeping position, stretching out his arms. He walks over to the fire and stokes it a few times, before getting some wood to put on it. For some reason, he's feeling exceptionally relaxed this morning. He just has a feeling, a feeling that something good happened last night at the Paradigm Tribe's Tribal Council. Frieza lets the fire grow as he walks away, looking at the sunrise~
Frieza: Another day in Paradise... I'm beginning to enjoy this...
Katz: You're damn right this is Paradise it! This-
~Katz points around to all six members of the Savage tribe~
Katz: -This is a team right here. You know what they say, you got to lose some to win some. I feel like we'll just continue to win until the merge. The Paradigm tribe is an absolute mess.
Daniel Keem: It is going to get interesting now as we are back to even. We need to continue strong going into the merge so we have the numbers.
~Prince wanders back into the camp with a somber look on his face... ~
Prince Ali: Ugh, guys Im glad we keep winning and are remaining strong...I just wish Manny Riveria was still around. I was really looking forward to having a shooting star press off with him, now how will everybody know that it looks better when I do it?
Daniel Keem: Simple Prince when this game is over you step into an Cartoon Wrestling ring and challenge him to a match.
Frieza: Ali vs. Manny Riveria in a Shooting Stars match. I'd pay to see that.
Prince Ali: I haven't seen Abu or Sam.

Katz: Weird...maybe they are...I actually don't know...

Daniel Keem: I am sure they will appear.
~The Savage Tribe goes about their daily routine wondering when or if Sam and Abu will reappear~

PARADIGM TRIBE - DAY 22
~Not much talk is going around the Paradigm camp today. People seem to be tending to their daily rituals. We span the camp to see if there is anything to focus on. Hope is just about lost...the view seems to be fading out when something or better yet, someone emerges from a hut. It's Whis. He exits looking energized, heading down to the river for some yoga~
~Nothing out of the ordinary...perhaps he was working on some interior improvements. The view slowly shifts toward the hut without any urgency. The view scrolls past the entrance of the hut, almost entirely when a blur catches our view's attention. It jerks back to the right to spot Lola Bunny exiting Whis' hut. She heads in the river's direction along the same path as Whis~

SAVAGE TRIBE - DAY 23
~Sam pushes her way through some brush and back into camp. She looks worse than usual and her hair is filled with leaves~
Sam Manson: Thanks for looking for me guys. No one seemed to care that I've been gone almost all week?
~She picks some of the stuff out of her hair and drops it on the ground~
Sam Manson: I'll take that as a no. Thanks for the care and concern... Abu acted like something important was going on and I followed him through this fucked up jungle and ended up falling in some pit…he never came back?!
~She looks around camp to see if he is hanging out anywhere~
Sam Manson: I heard some rustling and I figured he was on his way back here to get help.
Daniel Keem: Sorry Aladdin pulled out the dominoes. Frieza brought out the Coronas. Katz started playing handball against the hut. And Ben well he cooked the fish.
~Daniel's comment raises more than a few questions…but one that rises above. Frieza drinks? And if he does…why Corona? Great beer, but seems kind of stereotypical to me. Is Frieza even Hispanic? SO MANY QUESTIONS~

PARADIGM TRIBE - DAY 24 - PRE IMMUNITY CHALLENGE
~It's been a silent cycle of reflection for the Paradigm Tribe. Not much happening – until today. It's immunity challenge day which means everyone has to be at their best. This is a tribe in desperate need of a win. Lola Bunnyis the first member to speak up~
Lola Bunny: Hope everyone is ready to win tonight
~It isn't much, but something to kick start the pre challenge conversation~
Phillip DeFranco: I hope the lazy camp life isn't a sign of things to come. I'm going to start talking to a beachball soon.
Lola Bunny: I know... what is going on with everyone...
Samurai Jack: Wilson has a solid track record...let's go win this challenge!
~What an reference!~
Lola Bunny: Yes win it, we need it
~Spencer looks around at the sudden burst of energy from his tribe~
Richard Spencer: Fuck yes
~We cut away as they head to the challenge~

IMMUNITY CHALLENGE
~The tribes have all arrived for the next Immunity Challenge. Daniel, again, is clutching the Daniel Coyote immunity idol~
Chris McLean: Nice to see you all again…welcome to today's immunity challenge! Savage Tribe, I need little Coyote back.
~Again, Chris has to slightly wrestle it away from Daniel. He recovers the tiny Coyote and places it on the immunity table. Our view shifts to a couple of wooden mazes. There is a chair overlooking the maze~
Chris McLean: Okay, for today's Immunity Challenge you're going to need teamwork. Which, well, I guess you need in EVERY Immunity Challenge but you'll need it BIG TIME in today's Immunity Challenge. Anyway…this is a two phased challenge. The first phase will see one tribe mate sprint to a crate full of balls. Somewhere, within that crate will be a ball painted the color of your tribe. Once that person has located the tribe colored ball they will sprint back with it, placing it at the starting point of the maze. Four blindfolded tribemates will be handling a corner of the maze…they will move it up and down, manipulating the topography in an effort to get the ball from start, to finish. There is a hole at the finish. A person selected to be 'the caller' for your tribe will be seated atop that chair. They will instruct the blindfolded members when to raise or dip their arms. The first tribe to get their ball into the hole at the end of the maze wins Immunity. Understand? Oh, yea, I forgot, Manny Riveria isn't out here anymore. Select your positions and we can begin!
~Whis has assumed the caller position for the Paradigm Tribe. Daniel Keem mans the caller position for the Savage Tribe. Lola and Frieza are the runners~
Chris McLean: Survivors ready? GO!
~Lola and Frieza take off down the runway. Frieza beats her to the crate…but not by much. He digs furiously. Lola reaches her crate and begins digging. She shrieks! Manny Riveria's mask is contained within the crate. She looks back at Chris. He shrugs with a mischievous grin~
Chris McLean: Sorry.
~Everyone snickers…Abu HOWLS with laughter. Lola goes back to digging. Frieza pulls out the red colored ball. He sprints back, slamming it into place~
Chris McLean: Frieza has returned with the ball…the Savage Tribe can now begin the maze portion!
~Sweat is forming on Lola's forehead. We can hear her saying "Where is it...where IS it?!"~
Daniel Keem: Alright mother fuckers! Let's do this! Sam, up!
~Sam raises up, the ball slides down an open path, slamming into a wall~
Daniel Keem: Sam DOWN! Katz…UP!
~They shift positions and the ball rolls through a hole, safely. Meanwhile, Lola continues to dig. Her eyes flare with relief, "Finally!" she exclaims. She sprints back with the ball, slamming it into place~
Chris McLean: The Paradigm Tribe has retrieved their ball and can now begin calling out for the maze portion!
Whis: Okay…Phillip and Samurai Jack slightly up, Spencer, slightly down.
~In one fluid motion the ball starts to roll…it appears magnetized, heading directly where it needs to go. It bumps into a wall. In that one move, they have nearly caught up with the Savage Tribe. Keemstar can't keep himself from looking over~
Daniel Keem: Son of a bitch. FUCK! LISTEN! Okay, right…Aladdin down, Tennyson up!
~Their ball snakes through a gate, finding a corner to rest in. They are near the finish~
Whis: Hmm, let's see here. Okay…Leafy, I need you to go slightly up. Spencer and Phillip to your original positions, Samurai Jack slightly down.
~Again they make up a ton of ground, pulling even with the Savage Tribe. Lola claps with excitement. Daniel looks down at the maze~
Daniel Keem: Alright…Ali I need you to pull fucking down! Tennyson, get back to your original spot! Katz, slightly up! Sam, don't you fucking move!
~Whis nods, he seems to have it~
Whis: Leafy slightly down, Spencer slightly up…Phillip slightly down….Samurai Jack, just a FRACTION higher…
~Both tribes make their move. The Savage Tribe appears to be one move short of reaching the finish. The Paradigm Tribe looks like they are going to win! Abu into Ali's ear…Ali suddenly pulls up and the ball shoots into the hole as the Paradigm's ball rims out. Frieza lets out an uncharacteristic yell ~
Chris McLean: Savage Tribe wins immunity!
~The rest of the tribe remove their buffs and celebrate. Daniel stands atop his chair, holding his arms in the air…he beats his chest in triumph. Whis shakes his head…the rest of the tribe remove their buffs in anger. Lola doubles over, staring at the sand beneath her feet. We flash forward to both tribes re-assembled on their mats~
Chris McLean: Now THAT was the closest challenge yet. Savage Tribe, I have something for ya.
~Daniel steps up, retrieving the idol. The rest of the tribe claps. Chris turns and faces the Paradigm Tribe~
Chris McLean: Paradigm Tribe…I've got nothing for you. I'll see you tonight at Tribal Council. You all are dismissed.
~The Tribes exit. We focus on the Paradigm Tribe as they are, well, not happy~

SAVAGE TRIBE – DAY 24 – POST IMMUNITY CHALLENGE
~A triumphant Savage Tribe returns to camp…there's an extra hop in each person's step. Daniel is clutching baby Coyote. He holds it up into the air~
Daniel Keem: Nicely done everyone. Everyone brought their A game tonight!
Ben Tennyson: Good shit everyone! Tonight, we eat like champions. Fetch me my spear!
~Several of Tennyson's tribemates toss furtive glances at the mountain of rotting, uneaten fish carcasses. Daniel shrugs off the obvious overabundance of supply and gives in to demand. He tosses the spear to Tennyson who catches it effortlessly like a God among men.~
Daniel Keem: Ben has become quite the fisherman. Did Sam disappear again after the challenge? Can someone find Abu as Prince looks sad like he lost his best friend?
~Evidently sick of fish, Frieza offers up a suggestion~
Frieza: After that win? A Monkey Hunt sounds like a blast... so should we choose a direction and spread out?
Daniel Keem: Should we split into teams of two or three?
Prince Ali: Teams of two, we can cover more ground that way.
~Prince points up to the sky. ~
Prince Ali: I will go north.
Daniel Keem: Alright then I'll go with Prince so that north is covered. What about everyone else?
Prince Ali: Alright North sweet, lets go... Which way is North?
~Daniel looks around and then reaches into his pocket. He pulls out a compass and waits for it to figure out the directions.~
Daniel Keem: I knew this would come in handy when I stole it from Chris. That way is North Prince.
~Daniel points deep into the forest~
Prince Ali: Well then, that way it is. Onward young squire!
~With haste Prince starts to head in the direction Daniel pointed, starts to head into the deep forest. No one knows what dangers lay ahead, but Prince will do anything for Abu... well almost anything~
Daniel Keem: i swear if I didn't know any better I would think Abu was Prince's son or daughter. He loves that monkey unconditionally. Hey wait up...
~Daniel runs to catch up Prince~
Daniel Keem: So you ready for some danger?
Prince Ali: Danger, danger... Is Abu in danger we have to hurry. Quick Keemstar put me on your shoulders I will be able to see what horrible horrors await us from a higher vantage point
~Frieza watches Prince and Daniel head out, then looks around the rest of the tribe~
Frieza: Probably our best bet since they're going north is to send two more groups east and west. I'm thinking east for me. Katz? Ben? Sam? Any of you want to join me, or at least look in the other direction? We'll find that Abu yet.
Katz: I shall join you Frieza - Abu is our mascot and we must find him, for tribe unity!
Daniel Keem: My shoulders ...
~Daniel pauses~
Daniel Keem: I think it might be better if you climb a tree a and you can see more from that vantage point. This is the amazon and I'm sure we will run into all types of creatures.
~Just then Daniel happens to look up and he sees a green anaconda in the trees~
Daniel Keem: Watch out Aladdin.
~Aladdin hears Daniel and looks up in the tree, he sees the anaconda getting ready to strike and rolls out of the way, he looks over at Daniel~
Prince Ali: And you want me to get in the trees with those things?
Daniel Keem: Why not I'm sure all they want is a little hug.
~Daniel smirks~
Daniel Keem: Fine maybe not the trees what if you swing from vine to vine like Tarzan?
Sam Manson: I was stuck in a damn whole and no one made a search party for me...
~Daniel shouts from a distance~
Daniel Keem: You called me a pig and didn't want to cuddle.
Frieza: It just shows the faith we have in you, Sam, that you could survive without us worrying about it. Abu, on the other hand... alright, Katz, let's get searching. Maybe we can find something worth cooking along the way. Just as long as it's not a monkey, Prince would flip out.
~The tribe spends the rest of this triumphant day searching for a monkey~

PARADIGM TRIBE – DAY 21 – PRE TRIBAL COUNCIL
~The Paradigm Tribe returns to camp angry~
Richard Spencer: UN FUCKING BELIEVABLE. HOW CAN YOU BE SITTING RIGHT THERE AND LOSE THE FUCKING CHALLENGE FOR US?! KEEP FEEDING THOSE FAGGOTS EGOS ON THE OTHER TRIBE BY WINNING BY BULLSHIT. WHAT A PILE OF SHIT
~Nobody can really say anything. Lola shakes her head with frustration~
Richard Spencer: I can only imagine the singing and dancing those rejects are doing over on the other island. Thinking they are such bad ass winners. They didn't win shit tonight, WE LOST it. WE GAVE it away! They think they running the show but Frieza is the leader over there and they have NO idea.
Lola Bunny: I'm sure they are. You know they are no better than Manny Riveria really.
Samurai Jack: Well that blew balls…
~Leafy hangs his head with shame~
Phillip DeFranco: The ratings for this show have to be in the toilet by now... there has to be a merge for crying out loud.
Lola Bunny: Hopefully soon…
~There isn't much discussion in terms of voting strategy. Their entire focus is devoted to releasing anger and mounting frustration stemming from an unfortunate string of defeats~

TRIBAL COUNCIL
~The Paradigm Tribe enters the all too familiar Tribal Council area. They place their torches behind the seating area and find a comfortable stump (oxymoron alert!). Chris sits like a disappointed father. He folds his arms, shaking his head~
Chris McLean: Welcome back, Paradigm Tribe. I'm strongly considering labeling those stumps with your names.
~Most of the tribe ignores Chris's statement. They've got more important Beners dominating their conscious. Spencer, however, cannot let any derisive statement aimed in his direction slide through unimpeded~
Richard Spencer: Shut the fuck up, disc Chrisey. If you hadn't rigged that gay ass fishing challenge in favor of The Savage Tribe we would have one the previous challenge. You're fucking us with your WEAK ASS CHALLENGE BOOKING.
~The rest of the tribe nods along with Richard's assertion. Chris sighs, his posture weakens. He concedes~
Chris McLean: Alright, so maybe you have a point. I guess I should change our next challenge into something different…I was going to go with 'have your pet perform a trick' challenge but, yea, that might not be 100% fair.
~The tribe grumbles with a few 'fucking Chris' utterances leaking out. Chris decides to move on~
Chris McLean: Tough loss today everyone…Leafy, you seemed especially impacted…or, well, more so than usual…thoughts?
Leafy: I just felt I could have done more
~A few tribe mates nod as though they agree with the man who's face paint remains intact~
Chris McLean: Lola…I could almost sense you perk up a bit when Leafy said that. There's no denying you're somewhat of an outlier right now…all these members have been silent when Manny was telling you that you were a target, when he said the same to Max and look what happen…. Does that translate into you being the prime target OR is there merit in what Leafy said about today's challenge?
Lola Bunny: I feel bad for Leafy. We win as a tribe and we lose as a tribe. As far as feeling like I'm on the outside…definitely at the start of the game – for sure. It was intimidating and, had we lost more challenges early in the game, no doubt I'd be gone. But I've worked hard in this tribe and I've proven, I think, that I'm someone who can be relied upon. So, I think that newness is gone. I feel like a solid member of Team Paradigm.
Chris McLean: Samurai Jack… What do you think about Lola's assertion? Has she done enough…been around long enough to make up for her novelty?
Samurai Jack: I don't know.
Chris McLean: Okay then…Phillip!
Phillip DeFranco: Chris!
Chris McLean: What's your feeling on keeping someone like Leafy who, evidently feels responsible for the loss over a newcomer like Lola?
Phillip DeFranco: I like them both, Chris. It's really hard…all I know is we have to start winning now and whatever decision most benefits that cause…that's the decision I'm going with
Chris McLean: Makes sense…Mr. Whis…where can I purchase a DVD of Yoga?
Angel Whis: At all the major online vendors such as Amazon or Ebay…plus, most Targets carry copies as well. No Wal-Mart…NEVER a Wal-Mart.
Chris McLean: Thanks for clearing that up because I went to Wal-Mart the other day and all I found were TGO yoga DVDs.
~Collectively the tribe groans. Whis shakes his head and leans forward as though he were addressing a misguided colleague~
Whis: No, no, no…listen, you go to Target and you look for it near the electronics, in the self-help section. It'll be there…if not, just google Angel Whis Yoga and a number of links to purchase will pop up. Very simple…you won't regret it.
~Chris is writing all this down at a furious pace. He finishes and sighs with relief~
Chris McLean: Awesome…OH before I forget, tonight's vote?
Whis: Hopefully a perfect example in curing what ails
Chris McLean: Alright…on that note, it's time to vote!
~The super intense Survivor voting music begins to play as one by one the six remaining members of the Paradigm Tribe head toward the voting area. Whis starts it off with Leafy finishing up. Once they are all seated, Chris collects the votes~
Chris McLean: Alright…before I get to the votes…if anybody has a hidden immunity idol and would like to play it, now would be the time to do so…
~SUPER DUPER INTENSE music begins to play. DeFranco breathes in heavily. Samurai Jack leans back like he couldn't care less. Spencer glares at Chris saying "arrogant mother fucker." Whis tosses a surreptitious glance at his tribe mates, curious to see who might be reaching for something. Lola's eyes meet Chris's in a show of confidence. The skirt around Leafy's torso flies up due to a sudden gust of wind…thankfully our censors provide us with a necessary blur~
Chris McLean: Alright then…once I read the votes the decision is final and the person voted out will be asked to leave the tribal council area immediately. I'll read the votes…
First vote…Calvin Veil
Second vote…Lola Bunny
Third vote…Lola Bunny
Fourth vote…Calvin Veil
Chris McLean: That's two votes Leafy, two votes Lola…I'll get to the final two votes…
Fifth votes…Lola Bunny
Sixth vote…and the ninth person voted out of Cartoon Crossover Survivor Season 1….Lola Bunny!
~Lola's head lowers. She's obviously very disappointed. She takes a moment to collect her thoughts. Whis pats her on the back, looking truly sympathetic. Lola looks at Whis with emotion in her eyes and they hug. She stands and grabs her torch. Leafy appears to be extremely relieved…the rest of the tribe is mostly unaffected. Lola places her torch in front of Chris~
Chris McLean: Lola, the tribe has spoken…
~He extinguishers her flame~
Chris McLean: It's time for you to go.
~Sad music play as Lola turns around and waves to her tribe, wishing them luck. She makes her way across the bridge as we focus back on the scene taking place within the tribal council confines~
Chris McLean: Well…another tribe member lost…a tribe of ten is now down to five. I guess we'll see if this decision helps or haunts…you all can head back to camp now…I'll see you again in a few days
~The Paradigm Tribe returns to camp~
NEXT TIME ON Cartoon Crossover SURVIVOR: The merge is imminent. Both tribes can sense it. Tensions are running high. The Paradigm Tribe is whittling down…in danger of immediate extinction once the merge arrives. They HAVE to win. With five veterans left…each one knows the importance of winning and how it pertains to survival both inside the wrestling ring as well as outdoors on an island. Meanwhile, the Savage Tribe…an amalgamation of veterans and newcomers to Cartoon Crossover are no strangers to competition. They understand they have an opportunity to deliver a devastating blow to the Paradigm Tribe should they win this next and potentially FINAL team challenge. It's a huge challenge that could decide the winner of Survivor. Don't miss next week's exciting episode of, Cartoon Crossover Survivor!
~Lola Bunny is sitting in front of the camera, shaking her head~
Lola Bunny: What can I say? It sucks being voted off so close to the merge. I guess I lasted longer than I expected…but I really hoped to go farther. Whis was a great friend I didn't expect to make when signing up…I can't wait to see more of him after the game. As for everyone else…no hard feelings…good luck.
~Lola manages a smile and wave. The show comes to an end~
