Ticket here, and welcome back to "Fight for Fiji"! This episode deals with the aftermath of last Tribal, as well as some new plans coming into place AND old ones being revamped. Plus, one tribe has a little fun.

With that being said let's get right into it!

Fatu: Gordon, Toriel, Bandana Waddle Dee, and Luigi

Roku: Matt, Sonic, Li Mei, Little Mac, and Monty Mole

Toka: Kano, Kabal, Tremor, Kristine, Red, and Blu

15 are left, who will be voted out next?

Fatu: Night 9

The four Fatu enter camp, leaning their torches on a tree. For Gordon, it was a relief…even if his name coming up for a second time was a little jumpscare.

"Well that's a weight off us." Gordon comments.

"We could use less chaos." Bandana Dee adds. Unfortunately for him, he was unaware of the other tribes.

He wasn't even aware of Gordon's intentions next.

Gordon: The easy part's over. There's always a hard part. If we lose again, we'll be getting to that. You have two pairs: me and Toriel, Dee and Luigi. Only one pair can stay in this game and I'll be damned if I survived that just to leave next.

The waddle dee tries making the fire. "Things are going to be better here on out." he says, getting some smoke while his tribe looks on. To him, there are brighter days ahead. A negative force just left the game.

Others had a different mindset. Bandana Dee was right that for morale, days were brighter. For the strategy? He needed to catch up.

Toriel: It's a relief Infinite is gone, but there's more to come. If we even lose once, we must eat each other. There are questions left unanswered about that, and relationships that can get in the way.

Fatu: Day 10

The next day's spent on this topic of eating an alliance.

The first conversation shown is between Toriel and Gordon. Both happen to be ok with munching on someone in the alliance.

"We have no outsiders to target. I won't take pleasure in it but we have to split Dee and Luigi up." Toriel states, facing the chef. "I have a name in mind but what about you?"

"Luigi. He's jittery, did you see his face last night? Made me nervous." The chef notes. "We aren't going off much, but who else can we target? Casper?"

"Last night was really a double edged sword but we were going to do this eventually." The goat responds. "If the worst comes, we'll have to take both out and lay low come the merge. We are sticking together right?" she asks, pitching for a Shan/Ricard type without the brutal backstabbing.

"We are, nothings changed."

Toriel: It's not fun being cutthroat. Dee and Luigi are great people, but unfortunately being a great person doesn't help our situation.

Gordon: We'll just pick off Luigi. The Bandana won't draw rocks, so let's not act like we're in the end times. There's still many days ahead of us.

Meanwhile, Dee and Luigi are on the walking path and discuss the same thing.

"I..don't want to vote either of them out. I really don't but if we lose again? We have to." The Waddle Dee says, reasoning with the plumber.

"Well..we couldn't be friends forever." Luigi quips, but gets no reaction from the Waddle Dee. "Are you alright?"

"Sorry, I—I just don't like to turn my back on people." Ahhh, a loyalty complex. "Gordon and Toriel both deserve to be here..but if one of them has to go, they have to go."

"Besides, we don't have a choice. Don't feel bad." Luigi with the comfort. "Who are you thinking? I'm thinking Gordon."

"Yeah..we might as well."

Bandana Dee: It sucks that we couldn't win more. I really like Toriel, and it's fun to hear Gordon talk! But only one pair can win. Just…why this early?

Roku: Day 10

Contrary to Fatu, a drone zooms in on a hedgehog standing ontop of a tall rock, looking down at the ocean below. Nearby, is the rest of the Roku.

"I got medic on speed dial!" Matt shouts, but Sonic just waves the idea off. "Won't need 'em." If he's that cocky then he can see if there are consequences.

Sonic: Laying on a rock nice, but sometimes you wanna jump off just to see what it feels like.

Monty: This boy's got a screw loose. I dunno if it's one, two, or all of them.

Sonic takes a few steps back, ready to jump. He dashes forward, jumps...and lands a Twisting Dive into the water!

"D*mn…" Mac says.

"Impressive." Mei notes.

Sonic pops out of the water, and gets applause from his tribe. "That's crazy…" Matt mutters.

Little Mac: He's athletic, everyone likes him, he's a clear threat. But that's the issue: we all like him. Nobody's gonna target him until it's too late.

He pops his arm.

Little Mac: But hey, might as well enjoy him while he's around.

Sonic gets to the land beneath the rock, and turns to his tribe. "Wanna see an Inward Dive?"

"YES!"

He climbs up again. His energy was unlimited.

Matt: Sonic's the life of the party. Without him, this tribe wouldn't die of starvation. They'd die of boredom.

Cut to Sonic's confession, and he's got a smirk on.

Sonic: What can I say? Someone needs to carry the entertainment.

Later in the day, there was still some strategy going around despite how straightforward matters may look.

Li Mei is caught with Monty on the Roku's walking path. Mei and Monty weren't usually together, but this could only mean one thing.

"Sonic is fun to have around, but don't you think he will become a big threat?" she asks. Monty just keeps chewing that wheat. "Anyone can be a threat. What's got you worried about him?"

"He's physical, probably has some strategy, and can win a jury given nobody has a problem with him. Until now." she explains.

"Well who do you got with ya?" The mole asks. Given Mei figured that she and Mac were on the bottom, she wasn't going to hold the answer back.

"Mac."

"Mac? I thought he was cool with everyone."

"Not cool with being on the bottom."

Li Mei: I wasn't going to wait for a swap to change our fortunes, a swap's never guaranteed. If we have no hope of turning Matt and Sonic, Monty's all we have.

The mole removes the wheat from his mouth. "I dunno if they'll be happy, but we aren't here to make people happy." Is Monty actually flipping?

"I will let you know if you're name comes up."

"Same here.

Monty: I don't owe her anything. I'm loyal to Matt, Sonic, and that's it. You don't just come up to me and talk strategy, ya gotta prove I can trust you.

Didn't Mac and Mei also save you?

Monty: After that Tribal, Sonic told me that Mac and Mei were thinkin' about voting for me. They'll need an idol or a swap to get out of this, because they shouldn't have considered keeping that robot around after the performance.

Ooooh…that explains it. Also, Monty shading Claptrap again because of course.

Toka: Night 10

The moon's out, the stars visible, and one gruff man named Kano is looking at them. It was a nice, quick way to get to sleep in an environment like this.

He couldn't exactly enjoy it though, because two Yoshi's are giggling.

The cam pans to the two Yoshi's, kicking each other's feet and giggling the quicker they kick. Nothing like a nice game of Footsie, right?

Right?

Kano: They've cooked it. They coulda stuck to the friend zone. Now they've just f*cked themselves out of a million.

"Hehehe.." Red gets out, determined to win this battle. Blu just kicks back at him. This was truly a back and forth. As it turns out though, Kano wasn't the only one to hear this.

Kabal was up too.

Kabal: When they were fooling around I knew EXACTLY what Kano was going to say today. All because someone wanted to be the Footsie world champion.

Toka: Day 11

The first thing shown on this day is Kano and Kabal, one on one. Given what they heard last night, it was time to get an order going.

"I know we don't trust Kristine but let's face it: The dino gotta go." Kano states, and he doesn't get an objection. "We didn't ask for a couple on the island." He's heard of the Boston Robs and Ambers of the world. Could Red and Blu repeat it?

"If there's a swap next week, we gotta strike now or else we're f*cked. So, if we didn't need to throw last time, we should this time." The aussie pitches.

"I doubt the tribe wants to forfeit. But if we can get Tremor to throw, then literally nobody can stop it." Kabal responds.

"That's the spirit."

Cut to the two bringing this idea to their third: Tremor.

"I will throw. Let's just pray to the gods our opposition doesn't win it despite us." he confirms, putting the 'throw' plan into motion.

"They won't. We're the strongest." Kano puts it bluntly.

"Then let us use our strength for evil."

In confessional, Kano pretends to check his watch.

Kano: Those dinos are on borrowed time. They better enjoy the hugs and kisses while they last because the Black Dragon's about to mess their lives up.

While the Black Dragon set their plans in motion, they aren't the only ones finalizing a plan.

"It's Kano's time. I don't know what's going to happen when a swap comes around, but we can stop him by doing one thing…throwing the challenge." Red pitches.

"Are you sure? We can still vote him out if we get lucky enough." Blu responds, not a fan of risking safety.

"I see what he's getting at." Kristine defends. "If we get rid of him now, we can pick off Kabal at a swap, and then they aren't our problem anymore." A nice plan from the swing vote, but also..she's a swing vote. The Yoshi are relying on her and need an update.

"Oh I gotta ask: How's Tremor?" the red one asks.

"He's still being wishy washy. At this point who knows if he's going to be joining us.." Kristine updates, actually opting to be honest.

"It's not an issue as long as we can tie. That's the only way we get out of this." Red responds, staring into her soul.

While they talk, Blu looks at the grass below.

Blu: I had a pit in my stomach just thinking about throwing. It can seriously go wrong, but..they're right. Kano can cause serious damage and who knows what we can do at a swap?

Kristine: Kabal said Kano talked about throwing, and now Red's talking about it. So..I have to pick a side here and now. Join the Yoshi and draw a rock? Or take the easy way out and join the Black Dragon? What am I going to do?

OK so right now it seems Toka has no intention on winning the challenge. We'll see how that goes considering both sides want to throw.

Anyways, the remaining Fatu are making plans to target eachother, and the Mac/Mei duo still seem to be on the bottom due to Monty's loyalty to Matt (and Sonic). Who's going home next? IS there going to be a swap like some anticipate?
