Previously on, Survivor,
Etna and Blaze had a fake idol in their hands, and Etna showed it to Midna, trying to save herself. The only way both Etna and Blaze would be safe is if one wins immunity, and the other has the idol.
When the loved ones came to visit, Laharl, Etna's friend, did not do the challenge. Meanwhile, Lady's husband Tramp won the reward, and he won Lady a night alone with him at camp.
Everyone else was sent to Exile Island for the entire day. Etna was really worried about the upcoming challenge, and the possibility of not winning it. Meanwhile, Cynder and Pipsy discussed Etna's idol, and were thinking it was fake.
Eevee won the word search immunity challenge, throwing Etna's plans into the trash.
Before tribal council, Midna, knowing Etna had the idol, decided to go after Blaze, and pray that Etna uses the idol. Meanwhile, Blaze tried to flop Eevee once again to her side to blindside Cynder.
At tribal council, Etna wore the fake idol around her neck, and didn't play it. In the end, Blaze was voted out and sent to the jury. 6 are left, who'll be voted out tonight?
Final 6: Cynder, Eevee, Etna, Lady, Midna, and Pipsy
Jury: Bombette, Freddi, and Blaze

Flower Day 31
Etna sulked on the way back to camp.
"This is the first time in the game where, it is now a life or death situation for me. If I don't win the immunity challenge, I'm most likely going home." - Etna
Midna, Lady, and Pipsy were talking by the beach.
"Etna's idol was a fake." sneered Midna.
Pipsy nodded, "Well, at least we'll be able to vote her off without any problems!"
"With Etna's idol being a fake, her days in this game are now numbered. She will be going home next unless she wins immunity or something else pops up." - Pipsy
Midna nodded, "Right. Once that's done, the 3 of us and Eevee will be the Final Four!"
Both Lady and Pipsy smiled.
"To be a part of the final 4 would be great! I would really like a shot to win the money!" - Lady
"If one of us wins the challenge," asked Pipsy, "Who do we send?"
"Can't send Etna," noted Lady, "Or else she might actually find the real thing."
"We can't send Etna to Exile Island, or else she'll find the real hidden immunity idol, and we're all screwed." - Midna
– – – – –
Flower Day 31
Etna and Cynder were walking through the jungle.
"I don't trust Cynder, but since I'm near my end; anything must be tried. So, I have to go to Cynder and even Lady if possible." - Etna
"I know I'm probably going home next," sighed Etna, "But I get sent to Exile Island, I'll try to find the idol."
"And?" asked Cynder, suspicious.
"I'll share it with you, and maybe Lady." smirked Etna, "I want an all Violet Final Three."
Cynder thought about it.
"Etna and me sharing an idol could very well increase my own odds. If I go with Midna, Pipsy, and Eevee, I'm just going to be fifth. But if I go with Etna, I could be first, second, or third. Those are better odds." - Cynder
"Look, if I win reward, I'll send you," planned Cynder, "You send me if you win. Deal?"
Etna nodded and shook Cynder's hand, "Deal!"
"Awesome. My plan might come together if Lady joins us as well. If not, oh well. She can live down with third." - Etna
– – – – –
"Come on in girls!"
The Flower tribe entered the challenge area.
"Ready for today's reward challenge?"
Everyone nodded.
"For todays challenge, you will be in pairs of 3. You will have to compete in 3 legs, one for each team member. On Leg 1, you are going to walk across the water on circular platforms, dive off the last platform, retrieve a flag. Hand the flag to the next girl. That person will run Leg 2, which involves you untieing 3 different bags, one of which holds a flag. Carry both flags with you to the next girl, and the both of you will paddle a boat with several holes in it. One person should row, and the other person should bail out water. First group back to the shore, wins reward. Wanna know what your playing for?"
Everyone nodded.
"You will be taken to a nice hotel. You will have a shower, a nice bed to sleep on, and plenty of food. Worth it?"
Everyone nodded as Jeff picked teams.
Team A: Lady, Midna, and Cynder
Team B: Etna, Pipsy, and Eevee
"Survivors ready? GO!"
Lady and Etna were running Leg 1, and they dived into the water to collect the first flag. Lady had a slight lead over Etna.
Lady came back up and passed the flag off to Midna. Midna dived into the water to untie her first bag. Etna was coming back up to the surface with the first flag.
Etna passed it off to Pipsy, who dived into the water to untie bags.
Midna had untied 2 bags already; both were empty. She swam over to untie the third and final bag. Pipsy was struggling with the untieing a bit.
Midna finally got the third flag, and together with Cynder they began to row their boat to shore. Pipsy untied her first bag, which was empty.
Midna and Cynder had no competition behind them.
"LADY, MIDNA, AND CYNDER WIN REWARD!"
Team B cheered for them.
"Nice job, Team A. You now get to send one person off to Exile Island. Who's it gonna be?"
Cynder spoke up about sending Etna to Lady and Midna, but they shook their heads.
"Eevee."
"Eevee, you can head off to Exile Island."
Eevee nodded sadly as she left.
"Team A, you can head off to your reward. Etna and Pipsy, I've got nothing for you, head on back to camp."
– – – – –
Reward Day 31
Lady, Midna, and Cynder walked into the hotel, excited.
"This is awesome!" cheered Midna.
Lady smiled, while Cynder looked kind of downcast.
"With Etna not going to Exile, our plan can not go 100%. We HAVE to find another way to get ourselves and Lady to the final 3!" - Cynder
While Midna was taking a shower, Lady and Cynder spoke.
"Etna wants to take me and you to the Final 3." noted Cynder.
Lady nodded, "She does?"
Cynder nodded, smiling, "This could be our only shot, cause if Etna goes, you and I are next to go."
"I betrayed Etna early on in the game, and this could be a chance to get back in with her. But, do I want to risk making Midna, Pipsy, and all of them mad?" - Lady
Midna rejoined them, and luckily, they weren't speaking of the subject anymore.
"This was a nice reward, wasn't it girls?" smiled Midna.
Both Lady and Cynder nodded gleefully.
"Indeed so!" replied Cynder.

Exile Island Night 31
Eevee collected the clue, but really didn't care about it.
"It's way too late in the game to use idols. I think Final 5 is the last time we can use them. So, I'm not bothering." - Eevee
Eevee took a nap, since it was getting really dark outside.
– – – – –
Flower Day 32
Etna was sleeping in the shelter, thinking about a Plan B.
"Perhaps this idol could still be of some worth. I should say at tribal council if I'm not safe, 'I didn't play the idol last time, because I did not feel vulnerable.' That might work!" - Etna
Meanwhile, Pipsy was swimming in the ocean.
"Only 7 more days left! I hope I can make it all the way to the Final 2! I really think I did my best to make it that far!" - Pipsy
– – – – –
Flower Day 32
Cynder, Midna, and Lady all returned from the reward.
Cynder split off from them to speak with Etna, who was strolling through the woods.
"I talked with Lady today," noted Cynder, "And I think she's all for it!"
Etna smiled, "That's great! Now, our next step is to win immunity!"
"You, right?" asked Cynder.
"Of course I meant me!" snapped Etna, "But I have a back up plan, in case I fail to meet that standard."
"Me and Cynder have several options. 1) Continue to pretend that the idol is indeed real. 2) Win the god damn immunity challenge. And 3) Try to get a Rose to blindside another Rose. Either way, I won't go home!" - Etna
"Just follow my lead," planned Etna, "And don't question."
Cynder nodded, unsure.
"Etna doesn't seem too concerned about going home next if she doesn't win immunity. I hope she isn't getting too cocky." - Cynder
– – – – –
"Come on in girls!"
The Flower tribe entered the challenge area.
"Ready for today's immunity challenge?"
Everyone nodded.
"Let's bring in Eevee, returning from Exile Island."
Eevee reentered the area, and rejoined the others.
"I'll take back immunity from Eevee."
Eevee did so.
"For todays challenge, your going to be using this pistol, and you will try to knock out all 3 of your targets. First person to do so wins immunity. However, plan your aims, because you can miss at anytime. Every hit counts."
Everyone got situated at a station.
"Ready, aim, fire!"

Flower Day 33
Midna and Pipsy were thinking about the vote.
"Well, it isn't a tough vote," muttered Midna, "Etna's overstayed her welcome."
Pipsy nodded.
"Tonight at tribal council, I'm voting for Etna, and remove the last of that alliance. Too bad for her, she's on the wrong side of the numbers." - Pipsy
Midna stood up, "I'm going to tell Eevee, and all of them."
She walked off.
Meanwhile, Etna and Lady were talking.
"Lady, you can make the Final 3, if you side with me again," planned Etna, "You may have betrayed me, but if you can jump back on with me, I'll regain your trust."
Lady thought about it.
"Etna wants to trust me again, and in order for me to do that, I must vote out a Rose member." - Lady
"Which Rose member are you thinking about?" asked Lady.
"Either Pipsy or Eevee. Midna will, in terms, vote herself out if one of those two go home." snickered Etna, thinking Midna would self destruct her own game.
Lady nodded, "I'll think about it."
She walked off.
"Even though Lady said she'll vote a Rose, I really still can't throw all my trust into her. I've got to make a plan to save myself, and not have to use my fake idol." - Etna
Etna approached Cynder.
"I think Lady isn't gonna vote with us." noted Etna.
"How so?" wondered Cynder.
"I just have a vibe about her," continued Etna, "And I honestly need to stay safe tonight. But without immunity, I have no shot."
Cynder nodded.
Then Etna smirked evilly, which Cynder didn't see.
"Say Cynder, I have an idea..." smirked Etna.
"What is it?" replied Cynder.
"How about you give me your immunity," planned Etna, "And then we can get the Roses to vote eachother out!"
This scared Cynder.
"Uhh, I think they'll just end up voting me out..." sighed Cynder.
Etna shook her head, "Nah, I'll make tribal council living hell for them, and throw out all kinds of bull#$%#."
"Etna wants me to give up my immunity and keep her safe. But, they'll just vote me out. I know it. I've got to think heavily before I make a dumb move..." - Cynder
– – – – –
The Flower tribe entered tribal council.
"We'll now bring in the members of our jury,"
"Bombette,"
Bombette was wearing a blue bow on her fuse line.
"Freddi,"
Freddi was wearing a pink luau around her neck.
"And Blaze, voted out last tribal council."
Blaze was wearing a red t-shirt and a matching skirt.
"So there's only 6 days left in this all-girls battle. Pipsy, has it been tough to get this far?" asked Jeff.
"It has been tough. I'm surprised that I'm even here right now. At least I'm around kind-hearted people." replied Pipsy.
"Midna, how do you vote?" asked Jeff.
"I'm voting out Etna tonight. Let's be fair." replied Midna.
She looked at Etna, who still sported her idol.
"That's fake, and you know it." sneered Midna.
Etna snarled.
"It is not! I found it quite easily! Didn't I jury?" snapped Etna, looking at the jury.
All the jury nodded.
Etna nodded her head.
"There you go!" smiled Etna.
"Etna, do you feel vulnerable?" asked Jeff.
"As much as they think I am, I'm not. Plenty of the Roses came to me asking to vote out other Roses. So, yeah, this game is changing." replied Etna.
Midna looked around suspiciously.
"Ok, it is time to vote, Eevee, your up."
As Eevee walked up, Etna was now worried, since Cynder didn't give up immunity.
– – –
Etna's Vote: I just pray to God that Lady sticks with me this time... (?)
Lady's Vote: I'm completely sorry, but I have to do what is better for me. (?)
Midna's Vote: I guess your going home tonight, hope your words weren't true. (Etna)
Pipsy's Vote: What did you mean by that last statement... (Etna)
– – –
"If anyone has the hidden immunity idol, and you want to play it, nows the time to do so."
Etna, like last time, didn't stand up. Midna nodded, confirming her suspicions.
"Ok. When the votes are read, the decision is final, person voted out must leave the tribal council area immediately. I'll read the votes."
First vote, Etna.
…
…
Pipsy. One vote Pipsy, one vote Etna. (Pipsy nodded, thinking it was Etna's vote.)
...
Etna. Two votes Etna, one vote Pipsy. (She nodded, unfazed.)
…
Etna. That's three votes Etna, one vote Pipsy. (Etna looked at Cynder and Lady.
…
…
…
…
…
…
Pipsy. Two votes Pipsy, three votes Etna, one vote left. (Midna was shocked, since Etna's words were true.)
…
…
…
…
Pipsy. We have a tie. Three votes Pipsy, three votes Etna.
Etna sighed in fresh relief. Midna, however, was furious. Cynder and Lady tried to ignore looks.
"Due to having a tie, we're gonna do a fire making challenge. So move over there, and sit at a station." said Jeff.
Etna and Pipsy both nodded and each got to a fire making station.
"First person to light their torch stays in the game. Loser, goes home." explained Jeff.
Both girls nodded.
"Survivors ready? Begin."
Both Etna and Pipsy started a nice smooth fire, and both were at similar heights. That is, until Pipsy's fire started going down, and not getting enough power.
Pipsy tried to get her fire back up, but the wind was preventing it. All the while Etna was chuckling at Pipsy's efforts. She had succeeded.
…
…
...
Etna's torch was easily lit.
"Etna's torch is lit! Just like that, Etna stays in the game! As for you Pipsy, it's over. Etna, you can have a seat with the others. Pipsy, you need to hand me your torch." said Jeff.
Pipsy sighed sadly, as she hugged Midna and Eevee goodbye.
"Pipsy, the tribe has spoken."
He snuffed out her torch.
"Time for you to go."
Pipsy waved goodbye as she left.
"Well, looks like Etna found herself a spot in the Final 5! But, the game isn't over yet, you can still get blindsided at any moment. Grab your torches and head on back. Good night."
– – – – –
Etna – Midna, Eevee, and Pipsy
Pipsy – Etna, Cynder, and Lady
