Total Sole Survivor Ep 2 (Part 1) "So if we lose, they can't point a single finger at me."
Luxury Room (Guys Room) (Day 5)
The Colorful Cobras had earned the luxury of the luxury rooms on the ship.
This gave them 8 beds, which erased the problem of having to share.
Currently after a restful night, some of the guys found themselves awake.
Nicholas was up painting on the bed.
Davy was tuning his guitar.
Nicholas eyed Davy out of the corner of his eye. "So…Davy. Morning."
Davy just ignored him.
"Hello, i'm speaking! I said morning!" Nicholas said with more force.
"Davy heard, he just doesn't care," Davy kept tuning his guitar, strumming a string to test it out.
"You know, I would like an apology," Nicholas demanded.
"An apology? After I told the truth, after I won yesterday's challenge," Davy almost laughed.
Nicholas paused as if in consideration. "Yes," he said flatly.
"Mate, seriously piss off," Davy snapped.
"So I can't even get an apology!" Nicholas glowered.
"No and if you keep asking, I promise Davy will give you something to be sorry about," Davy glared.
"What's going on?" Tamashini stirred awake. He noticed the tension. "Please guys..not this early in the morning."
"He's the one having a kick at me," Davy remarked.
"He's the one that can't apolgize," Nicholas crossed his arms.
"Guys..we need to be a unit," Frederick chimed in as he was awake now. The noise got to him. He went on. "That's the best way we can move forward. You know like a boy band. We have to all go One direction. Be Nysnc. Be a Queen."
"If you make one boy band quote I will seriously jump off this boat," Nicholas rubbed his eyes. "or better yet, throw you off it."
"The one thing I agree on," Davy conceded.
"Well then let's find some more things to agree on," Tamanshini inputted. "That will help."
Confessionals
Davy- "It's hard for Davy to do the whole nice thing. I'm tired of faking it. These people aren't my friends. My band is the only family I ever known..but if I want to get far for them..for me. I'll tone it down. Only a bit. Beatrice wanted me to be Davy. Well this is Davy.." he frowned.
**Static**
Frederick- "Some people seriously don't know how a team works. I thought I'd be making friends for life, but this is seriously NOT giving friends for life. It isn't even giving friends!"
End
"We all like music and art, how about we do some more bonding now," Frederick suggested positively. "Oh! Let's make a rendition of a queens song together! I actually wrote a fanfic-"
"Absolutely not," Nicholas stated.
"Let's just cut to the root of the problem, Davy what's up..also I apologize for yesterday..and I'm sorry if I came across..as high horse-like," Tamashini told him.
"Thanks.." Davy accepted. "I don't know. I just realized you're all strangers. You're not my friends. You're not my family. The whole nice thing..pretending we're all friends..all that crap..it isn't my style. I'd rather be me."
Tamashini sighed. "You're right we're not friends. And we are not your family. But we can be."
"Well maybe Davy just isn't nice," Davy remarked.
"That's for sure," Nicholas snickered.
Confessionals
Tamashini- "I think..Davy has some..I don't know. Internal issues? I actually feel bad, and wish I could help."
End
Luxury Room (Girls Room) (Day 5)
On the girl's side. Things were more peaceful.
"Morning ladies!" Beatrice screamed loudly, bursting in the room.
Well..were. Beatrice was an early riser and was already up.
Alanar blinked as she woke up. "It's so early…can't we enjoy these soft beds for longer."
"The early sailor catches the fish," Beatrice retorted.
"Isn't the proper phrasing the early bird catches the worm," Shelby corrected.
"Yea same story," Beatrice dismissed the difference.
"Hmm…alternative synonym usage," Shelby noted.
Confessionals
Shelby- "Beatrice's perception really makes me think she isn't human. Her reality surely is warped."
End
Uma was the last to wake up, being one of those waking up like they were ready for a photo shoot.
"How do you do that?" Alanar gawked at her.
"Do what.." Uma blinked.
"Um nevermind, morning," Alanar said instead.
"Honestly, I'm glad we won the challenge. Winning this room..well it is a valuable asset proper sleep, and it may be better in comparison to the other team that lacks this necessary valuable quality such as sleep," Shelby stated. "It poses the question that if we capitalize on daily things like sleep will we function more efficiently than the other team."
The other three girls stared at her.
"Right, whatever, she said," Beatrice smiled, breaking the silence. "Also I got us breakfast."
It was a fresh plate of toast with jelly, and some bacon.
"Beatrice, you are just a delight," Alanar treated herself to a plate.
"Ah smart, making contributions so your value to the team rises as us as a society values those who provide everyone benefits," Shelby stated.
"..or I just wanted to be nice?" Beatrice countered.
"Hmm. Allow me to deliver this to the boys," Shelby offered.
"Sure," Beatrice agreed.
Confessionals
Beatrice- "Shelby is so strange…but she isn't much of a bother. I like her"
**Static**
Shelby- "Beatrice is so strange..but she isn't much of a bother. I like her- to be my future observance later on. Also I will deliver this food so that people see my as a valuable member of this niche society. It can be argued by the rules of utilitarianism that this will make me a better member"
End
With Shelby gone, Alanar motioned for Uma to come over.
"What is it?" Uma quierred.
"So I know we have an alliance right," Alanar mentioned.
Uma nodded. "A delight between me and you."
Alanar blushed. "Yea, and I enjoy the two of us..but we need more numbers. Right?"
"That is true," Uma agreed.
"Okay, so I'm thinking we join up with Beatrice for one," Alanar tossed out.
Uma seemed apprehensive.
"If that's what you want, but I will always remain your number 1?" Uma checked.
"Always," Alanar assured her.
Uma then gave a nod of approval.
Alanar then motioned Beatrice over.
"Beatrice what would you say if I..asked you to an alliance?" Alanar questioned.
"I would say 'Really? Wow, I'm in!'" Beatrice answered.
They stared at her.
"Oh that wasn't just a scenario..we actually want an alliance," Alanar told her.
Beatrice covered her mouth.
"Oh! Really? Wow, I'm in!" Beatrice proclaimed.
Confessionals
Beatrice- "In this game alliances are needed. I won't say no. Just like a fish needs its school, this girl needs an alliance. And I just got one!"
**Static**
Uma- "I don't know Beatrice..I don't fully trust her. But a number is a number."
End
"Okay, but we need more numbers," Alanar urged.
"What about Davy?" Beatrice proposed.
"Um..I rather not.." Alanar shook her head.
"Why?" Beatrice asked.
"Unless we want this alliance to implode, it's best me and him aren't in one alliance," Alanar stated. "We clearly aren't even on the same page, so how could we be in the same alliance."
"Okay..then what are we doing.." Uma laid back.
"Okay, well I noticed there are 2 pairs. Tamashini and Frederick. Then Nicholas and Shelby," Alanar pointed out.
"So.." Uma stroked her chin thoughtfully. "...we should pull one of those pairs in to solidify an alliance of 5."
"She gets it," Alanar smiled, as she and Uma shared a look.
"Now to decide..so which pair?" Alanar then questioned.
"I say yay to the gays," Uma supplied.
"I too say yay to the gays," Beatrice smiled. "And I can be the one to rope them in."
"Great," Alanar. "I love it when a plan comes together."
Confessionals
Alanar- "My strategic masterpiece is coming together. To paint it, I need some colors and the allies I'm pulling in. They are my paint! They are my colors! Everything is coming together!"
End
Shelby had gotten to the boys room, and knocked.
Frederick opened the door. "Hey Shelby!"
"Greetings, I am bringing you breakfast," Shelby put forward.
"Thanks," Tamashini received the plates graciously, and passed it out.
"Shelby, you are such a doll," Frederick told her with an appreciative smile.
Shelby then noticed Davy.
"Davy if I could have a word-" Shelby requested.
"You usually have one too many," Davy stopped her.
"Look, I feel like my questions bothered you. I think morally that would accustom me to give an apology," Shelby stated. "So I will extend an apology and some food."
"I'll take mine to go then," Davy snatched the plate from her as he left.
Confessionals
Shelby- "Davy only provides negativity. Ideally that is the type of person you would want to remove. In theory it make sense Davy is voted out"
**Static**
Davy- "Shelby is such a bugger. She makes me want to shove a fork in my eye." Davy stated as he ate from the food Shelby had brought. "Or better yet her eye."
End
The Killer Kinkajou Room (Day 5)
"Okay, so we need to talk," Rosalina attested as she stood firmly in front of her team.
She had called a team meeting of sorts.
"That sounds like a bad we need to talk," Mikaio said.
"Right? It's giving angry teacher," Phillip snickered.
"Phillip, I'm serious," Rosalina crossed her arms.
"When are you not," Phillip chuckled to which he and Mikaio high-fived.
They then noticed the sharp glare Rosalina sent their way.
"Sorry Rosie," Phillip then said. "Lips sealed, and ears opened."
"So I assume we are talking about our loss?" Zarian brought up
"Yes," Rosalina nodded. "But in a productive manner "
"This should be interesting…" Godfrey rubbed his hands together
Confessionals
Rosalina- "I'm not used to losing. It's just..it's not how I operate. And I don't mean to sound cocky, but I always come in first. I get good grades. I was valedictorian. I get the job done. I win. It's just what I do. Losing..it's a new feeling, and I don't like it..it doesn't feel good at all.." She hugged herself firmly.
**Static**
Zarian- "I like this cause we need to be a team not a group. We need to find what makes us a team, or else we'll continue to drop the ball."
End
"Can we establish that it isn't all my fault," Jolt stressed that point.
"It isn't all Jolt's fault," Rosalina affirmed bluntly.
"Thank you," Jolt smirked, looking around as if daring someone challenge that statement.
"I personally feel like we should make sure everyone's voice is heard," Zarian stated, eyeing Melissa who had a small appreciative smile at hearing that.
"And we need a plan," Godfrey pointed out
"Exactly, we need a plan," Rosalina nodded. "We need order. We need to be organized."
"All I know is I'm pulling my own weight," Jolt gestured to herself. "some can't say the same.. COUGH mess-lissa COUGH."
"Me? I w-was t-trying!" Melissa sputtered out.
"Trying to what? Screw us over, cause you really succeeded then," Jolt clapped back.
"Y-you don't get it!" Melissa shook her head.
"You're right, I really don't," Jolt affirmed.
"Guys, what we're not going to do is argue," Zarian stopped them.
"Look, we need to win," Rosalina stated. "Right?"
"Right," Everyone echoed back.
"So we ARE going to be a team. And if we lose THEN we can try to rip each other's heads off," Rosalina divulged.
Confessionals
Phillip- "Rosalina taking charge. It's soooo sexy. I'm like that's my girl right there."
**Static**
Jolt- "I'm glad Rosalina is speaking sense, cause someone has to do it. Besides, she says it much nicer than how I would have said it. If it was me some people would be on blast."
**Static**
Godfrey- "I don't have full trust in my team's capabilities. The only capabilities I trust are my own so I got some work to do."
End
The Cafe (Day 5)
Beatrice found Frederick in the cafe eating a small snack, while writing.
Frederick looked lost in his work. Just muttering out loud to himself.
"Frederick!" Beatrice sprung up on him.
"What?" Frederick tucked his writing away. "Totally not writing fanfiction about all of us- like what?!"
"I didn't say anything.." Beatrice said.
"Oh right, cause..I wasn't. That would be like..cray cray," He laughed awkwardly.
"Frederick, I dress up as a mermaid. I'm the last person that would be judging others," Beatrice reminded him.
"Okay, fine I was writing this really fun fanfic about our team in a music band AU," Frederick informed her. "But, it's really good. Like I'm at the part where Head Fred is deciding which members should join the band. He already picked Tamashini."
"That is not what I came here to talk about, but I love to hear that," Beatrice smiled. "Fill me in about that later."
"So what we talking about?" Frederick asked as he leaned in.
"Um..okay, first how are you and Tamanshini?" Beatrice quiered.
"We're friends," Frederick conferred, although his mouth curved to a small frown.
"And you are okay with that?" Beatrice asked.
"Yea, and I am happy with it but..I don't know.." Frederick shrugged.
"Take small strokes," Beatrice suggested comfortingly. "But I have good news."
"Really?! that's like my favorite type of news!" Frederick rubbed his hands together.
Beatrice motioned for him to lean in.
"An alliance between me, you, Tamanshini, Alanar, and Uma," Beatrice disclosed.
"That is fabulous!" Frederick practically jumped.
"Just get this information to Tamanshini," Beatrice told. "Look, I feel like Tamashini wants to do good in this game. Show him you have his back."
Confessionals
Frederick- "My first alliance! This is a really solid group of five. It's Fabolous! That's it, the Fab Five! And I know exactly who the main five in my fanfic will be! This really is a good day!"
End
The Mess Hall (Day 5)
"Hey Zarian," Godfrey had caught him just as Zarian was rounding up his workout.
"What up, just finishing up with some cardio," Zarian explained. "You should join me."
"Yea sure, I prefer to exercise my brain at the moment," Godfrey mentioned waving a book.
"Cool, I feel that. Just don't let up on fitness," Zarian responded.
"Oh no worries, this fine physique is not going anywhere anytime soon," Godfrey guaranteed, flexing just for show.
"So what's up?" Zarian looked at him.
"I want to talk about the team," Godfrey had a seat. "I'm worried."
"Oh man, yea..but I think we'll find our groove," Zarian hoped confidently.
"Okay, but we need to consider what could be the issue.." Godfrey contemplated "..or rather who."
"Look, from my time in sports we need to not look at ourselves as individuals but as one collective body," Zarian explained. "Only all of us working as one unit can lead to success."
Godfrey discretely rolled his eyes.
"Yes, we're all part of the team, but sometimes some people don't click, and in the scenario we lose-" Godfrey went on.
"We won't," Zarian assured. "Winner attitude."
"Yes, winner attitude- but in the case that we do," Godfrey insisted. "We need to cut off the dead weight."
"I-" Zarian frowned. He clicked his tongue as he thought. "Okay, in this hypothetical case that I hope doesn't occur- yes, we would do that. It's best for the team."
"So who causes the most um- setbacks," Godfrey stated, carefully picking his words.
Zarian stroked his chin.
"Melissa is the weakest link and has the least social ties on the team," Zarian mentioned. "And then..Jolt causes some conflict..but we're not going there."
"Of course, of course..we're just considering what we'll do if we don't win..for the- the benefit of the team, of course," Godfrey smiled.
"For the team," Zarian agreed.
"Good chat, buddy," Godfrey patted him on the back.
"Good chat, bro," Zarian fist bumped him. "Winner mindset though."
"Winner mindset," Godfrey smiled deviously as he walked away. "All day..everyday.."
Confessionals
Zarian- "My mind isn't even picturing losing. You don't run out onto the field seeing yourself dropping the ball. No way, man. You run out there and picture the glory. So as far as I'm concerned we're going to win. Although if we do lose I will make sure we cut the weak links."
**Static**
Godfrey- "I have my reasons for doing this. I want to be prepared if we do lose. Also I want Zarian to push out names for me. I don't want to be the one throwing out people's names. That way if we do lose, Zarian can take it and run with it, while I walk casually forward, fine physique and all."
End
Upper Deck (Day 5)
Meanwhile, Beatrice found Davy by himself strumming his guiter on the outside railings.
She slowly approached him.
"Hey um need some company-" Beatrice popped over to him
Davy raised his guitar like he was going to hit her.
"Ahh! I come in peace!" She shielded herself.
"Oh it's you.." he lowered his guitar, but didn't lower his frown.
"Yea.." Beatrice sat beside him. "About yesterday.."
"I messed up. Everyone probably hates me," Davy presumed with a lour.
"No. You were right," Beatrice expressed with a thoughtful look. "Also no to the other thing..I don't hate you."
"You don't know me," Davy repeated.
"Davy, enough..I think I got you figured out," Beatrice believed with a confident smile.
"Try me," Davy challenged as he looked her in the eyes.
"You're an orphan. You haven't lived with a family…you didn't grow up with anyone carrying for you," Beatrice described. "You're scared to open up..cause your band is all you have.."
Davy frowned, although he said nothing. He just crossed his arms.
"Am I right?" Beatrice asked.
"Shut up.." Davy scowled.
"You're mad cause it's true.." Beatrice claimed,
"Shut up," Davy responded, turning to the side.
Beatrice just nodded, a satisfied smile on her face.
"Look..just know when you do choose to open up..I'll be there with wide arms and a smile."
Davy looked back at her considering what to make of that.
Beatrice got up to leave.
"Hey Beatrice.." Davy then called to her.
She turned back, awaiting what he had to say.
Davy smiled. "..thank you, love."
Confessionals
Beatrice- "Davy is..like a crab. He may pinch and have a hard shell. But..he's nice. You just got to see the inside."
**Static**
Davy- He looked off to the side. "She's one special girl.."
End
Game Room (Day 5)
Rosalina was just in the game room, just working out.
She was pushing herself to her limit.
Currently she was doing a one-hand push-up.
Mikaio came over and watched for a moment.
He seemed to get distracted looking over the railing.
He then looked back at Rosalina who had now switched to her other hand. Sweat dripped down her face.
"You do this often," Mikaio finally addressed her.
"Huh?!" Rosalina dropped to the floor out of surprise.
"-try not to do that, often," Rosalina sent Mikaio a look.
"My bad," Mikaio shrugged. "So what's the..gist?"
"I'm working out. I have to be prepared for the next challenge," Rosalina expressed.
"But..we don't know what it is?" Mikaio puzzled.
"Which is why I will be prepared no matter what," Rosalina got back to work now doing sit-ups.
"Mkay," Mikaio sat down to watch her.
"So..are you going to prepare yourself?" Rosalina wondered.
"Nah, I mean..how can you expect the unexpected..I'll chill, no point in getting crazy," Mikaio told.
"..I..I just don't want us to lose again," Rosalina explained
"Yea..that would be..something.." Mikaio mused.
Confessionals
Mikaio- "Rosalina is an absolute..workhorse. Respect. But I don't know if she knows how to turn it down. Sometimes you need to calm it down, before you can turn it up. You feel?"
End
"So my head should be in the game, no distractions-" Rosalina asserted, as she picked up her pace
"Rosie! Miky! Eh yo!" Phillip happened to wander in.
"Philly-Dawg," Mikaio greeted him, and the two fist-bumped.
"And the distraction has entered the vicinity.." Rosalina murmured.
"So what we doing?" Phillip looked between the two of them.
"I'M focusing on the next challenge," Rosalina said. "You two can focus on not bothering me."
"Yea, that's not going to happen. Borrrring," Phillip smirked. "Come on, Rosie, let's have some fun."
"Fun? Is losing fun to you," Rosalina narrowed her eyes.
"No, but losing my mind boring myself ain't any better," Phillip countered.
"Mikaio," Rosalina fished for his own opinion.
"I'm with Philly Dawg," Mikaio admitted.
Rosalina rubbed her face.
"Look, fine, let's compromise," Phillip proposed. "We do your little whatever thingy, but we make it a game."
"No, I'm not-" Rosalina began.
"-ready to lose," Phillip teased. "Aww see Miky, Rosie is scared."
Him and Mikaio then both made chicken noises with smiles on their faces.
Rosalina took a deep breath. She then looked at Phillip with a confident smile. "Fine. You're on. Let's play."
Confessionals
Rosalina- "I beat men way bigger than any of these boys. If he wants to have fun, I hope he enjoys the taste of failure."
End
"Okay, let's make this a fair competition. No kicking, that's for Rosie. No flirting, that's for Phillip. And….no being bothered by laughter, that's for both of you, cause me laughing is pretty much a guarantee," Mikaio voiced the last part as an afterthought.
The two positioned themselves for this little friendly competition.
"Ready go," Mikaio proclaimed.
They first did pushups.
Phillip actually managed to beat Rosaline by one.
"And the attractive, sexy winner ladies and gentle is..Phillip!" Phillip roared before, flexing his muscles.
"Okay, cocky guy, you beat me by one. Let's not get ahead of ourselves," Rosalina smirked as she crossed her arms.
They next did some planks.
Phillip kept making silly faces at Rosalina.
"Knocked it off," Rosalina actually was trying not to laugh.
"What? Can't hang on," Phillip jested with a smirk.
"No, I can't handle how stupid you look," Rosaline retorted.
Eventually, Phillip dropped, and Rosalina won.
"So..did I still look stupid?" Phillip questioned.
"Yes. Very," Rosalina answered, but she actually snickered.
They went on to do many other things, high jumps, pull ups, hand-stands. All of it Phillip made sure to turn it into a game, and add an element of fun into it.
20 minutes later they were done.
As the two bent over to catch their breath, Phillip looked at Rosaline with a wide, ravish grin. "So was that fun or was that fun?"
"That was.." Rosaline took a moment to catch her breath. "That was fun.."
"I wouldn't lie to you," Phillip winked at her.
She then looked at Phillip surprised to find herself smiling. "Thank you Phillip..I didn't know I needed that."
"Anytime," Phillip looked her in the eyes, and her smile brought one to his face. "Anytime Rosie."
Mikaio then cleared his throat. "So do I get a turn or what?"
Confessionals
Rosalina- She sighed. "I was so winded up…I was putting so much pressure on myself. I have to admit it was good to actually just have fun. BUT! I still need to focus on the challenge.
**Static**
Phillip- "Hey, what can I say I'm a fun guy. Along with other many brilliant qualities that ladies can describe. But..if I can make Rosalina smile, I already feel like a winner, whether we win the next challenge or not."
End
"Yea, let's do it Miky," Phillip answered him.
"You boys have fun," Rosalina turned to leave.
As soon as she left, Mikaio and Phillip looked at each other.
"Dude.." Mikaio expressed with a knowing look.
"Dude!" Phillip exclaimed
"With her you like went from like North Korea to South Korea," Mikaio praised with an impressed smile
"That's a good thing, right?" Phillip asked.
"Dude, like superb, bro," Mikaio verified.
Boys Room (Day 5)
Frederick found Tamashini just in the room drawing.
"Hey, Tamanshini~" Frederick called to him in a sing-song voice.
"Hey Freddy," Tamanshini saluted him.
"So what are you doing?" Frederick sat beside him.
"I'm just..I thought about the conversation earlier..I'm thinking about how to unite the team," Tamanshini admitted, sounding a bit distraught.
"Oh..well don't let it get you down," Frederick empathized as he rubbed his shoulder.
"Yea I know," Tamashini understood with a nod.
"Hey..you know..I feel like I told you about me..but..I never got to hear about you," Tamashini realized.
Frederick frowned. "Can I be honest?"
"I don't want you to be anything but honest," Tamanshini supported.
"I..I don't know who I am. Like fully. Like I feel like I have everything figured out..but myself..I live through queens and my fanfictions..but I'm..I don't know.." Frederick slumped down.
Tamashini listened, nodding. "..I can relate to that. It took me time to find who I was."
"Yea..I'm hoping through this competition, I can find out who Frederick is. What he's made of. You feel!" Frederick thrilled.
"I feel for sure, and hey.." Tamanshini placed his hand on Frederick's "..I promise I'll be there with you on this journey. I want to figure out who Frederick is too."
Confessionals
Frederick- "Part of me wanted to yell: KISS ME YOU HANDSOME DEVIL! Butttt, it might be a bit too soon. A fanfiction writer, you need some more build-up. More romantic tension..you feel?"
**Static**
Tamanshini- "I think Frederick is my closest ally. I know for a fact he'll be there for me, so of course I'll be there for him. It's only fair."
End
"..you're so hot.." Frederick uttered in a whisper.
"What was that?" Tamashini blinked
"I said you're so not, um gonna believe this. I have something to tell you-" Frederick reworded as he scratched his head.
"Ohh, what's up?" A curious smile came upon Tamanshini's face.
"something juicy, with a capital J," Frederick alleged with a grin.
"Lay it on me," Tamanshini prompted.
"Okay, an alliance: me, you, Beatrice, Alanar, and Uma," Frederick disclosed, eager to see what Tamashini would think.
Tamashini went over this idea in his head.
"Okay, that sounds like a solid 5. I have no objections," Tamanshini nodded his head. "Everyone in that group has good qualities."
"I know right!" Frederick agreed. "It's like the Fab Five!"
"The Fab Five! Okay, but me and you have to stick together though," Tamashini affirmed.
"Tamanshini," Frederick looked him dead in the eyes. "That isn't even a question. It's me and you. Always."
Confessionals
Tamashini- "So I'm pulled into my first alliance, and I'm stoked! Time to change this pretty face to my game face, cause the game is on."
End
The Challenge (The Mess Hall) (Day 6)
It was the next day, and both teams met Michigan and Darrel in the mess hall.
The two of them were dressed up as if preparing to go to some fancy occasion.
Michigan wore some beautiful gem earrings, and a lavish green dress. She could also to be seen to be adorning some blue heels.
Darrel wore a black tuxedo, shiny black shoes, and a stud like bow tie.
"Glad you guys made it," Darrel greeted the two teams.
"We didn't really have a choice.." Davy pointed out.
"Well lucky for you, this challenge will give you a lot of choices!" Michigan told them.
"I love choices!" Frederick clapped.
"But the question is do we actually have choices..or is everything already-" Shelby started.
"Shelby, you have the choice to stop making it weird," Michigan eyed her.
"What's the challenge?" Jolt demanded.
"As you can see, me and Michigan are going to be having a date tonight," Darrel presented to them, and the couple held hands.
"And what does that have to do with us?" Nicholas crossed his arms.
"Well we can't have a wonderful dinner date without food. That's where you guys come in," Michigan revealed.
"Okay so for this challenge 4 of your team members will go out and look for food. 3 of your team members will cook the food. You'll be serving us a flavorful seafood cuisine," Michigan presented, to which her and Darrel both grinned.
"Team with the best dish wins immunity," Darrel established. "The losers..well they're cooked. Pun intended."
Confessionals
Uma- "The only thing I know how to serve is looks. Not that I won't try. This is going to be interesting..."
**Static**
Phillip- "I'm no chef, but if I have to cook up a win, you know your man is going to try. Let. Him. Cook!"
End
"Okay work things out and then we'll start," Michigan directed.
For the Colorful Cobras they decided Alanar, Tamanshini, and Frederick were cooking. Swimming was Beatrice (of course), Uma, Shelby, and Nicholas.
Davy decided to sit out.
"Let's see how good this lot is without me," Davy remarked as he took his seat on the sit out bench.
Confessionals
Davy- "Davy needs a doctor. To check out his back cause he certainly carried the last challenge. So if we lose, they can't point a single finger at me."
**Static**
Shelby- "If we lose, I believe Davy is the optimal person to send home"
End
For the Killer Kinkajous they decided the cooks would be Melissa, Phillip, and Rosalina. Which meant Zarian, Godfrey, Mikaio, and Jolt were swimming searching for fish.
"Okay, so I think we're ready to start," Michigan rubbed her hands together.
The swimmers on both teams positioned themselves.
"Ready. Set-" Darrel began.
"Also you guys all get nets and other fish catching equipment," Michigan cut in to inform them.
"Ready. Set-"
"Oh and you guys have access to the kitchen," Michigan then added.
"Ready. Set-" Everyone looked at Michigan expectantly.
"What? You want me to say, go? Go!" Michigan just shouted.
Confessionals
Jolt- "Swimming is basically like running in the water. I got this!"
**Static**
Beatrice- "I was born ready! I am the princess of the sea! I now get to play in my natural habitat."
End
As soon as she said this all the swimmers dived in.
The Killer Kinkajous resurfaced.
"Okay, so what's the plan?" Zarian asked.
"Find whatever is edible, duh!" Jolt claimed hastily with an eager smile.
"But-" Zarian tried to object.
Jolt already dived underwater.
"Any ideas more organized.." Godfrey surveyed the two other boys.
Mikaio blinked. "I liked what she said."
"Fine, but let's try to get as much fish to provide our chefs a variety," Zarian coached.
The 3 boys then dived underwater.
For the Colorful Cobras they didn't even spend time dwelling on a plan. Beatrice darted off, Uma tied her hair up and then submerged herself, Nicholas was drawn away by something he saw, and Shelby who was just about to ask "what's the plan of operation?" shrugged and headed under water.
Confessionals
Nicholas- "So the reason why I choose to dive for my team was to get…inspiration! The memorizing under water colors. It's like seeing a whole new world." He thought. "Oh and getting the win would be nice too."
**Static**
Shelby- "I guess the plan is..no plan?"
End
Jolt swam, her feet kicking rapidly.
Her head, her eyes surveyed the area.
You would think she was the apex predator the way she was on the hunt.
Finally she locked onto a fish and swam straight ahead.
She was like a beast. The fish didn't even see it coming and she snatched the fish up with her bare hands and threw it in her net. She then barreled ahead.
Confessionals
Jolt- "I'm actually like this challenge. I feel so free. I don't fear the fish, the fish fear me!"
End
Beatrice was lost in the moment enjoying herself.
She twirled, spun, somersaulted.
She was just living her best life. Literally.
She then remembered the task at hand and made a determined face. Which washed away when she got distracted by a little goldfish making his way by.
She admired it, and carefully approached. The fish, at first scared, iit eased up as she showed she had a gentle touch.
She and the fish then went along together.
The boys weren't having much luck.
Zarian was fast, and Godfrey was focused, but Mikaio was..well neither.
They tried to corner a skinny looking fish; Zarian was able to almost get it, but it went around him. Godfrey led it towards Mikaio..who was caught up looking elsewhere.
They swam up.
"Mikaio!" Zarian chided.
"Dude, sorry..I saw like this coral reef and like-" Mikaio described.
"Please. Forget the coral reef," Godfrey pleaded. "It can wait."
"Where's Jolt anyways?" Zarian wondered.
"Let's not dwell on her," Godfrey discussed. "We need to worry about the challenge."
Confessionals
Mikaio- "It's not my fault that everything under water calls to me."
**Static**
Zarian- "It'll be nice if all four of us worked together. Then we could make more progress."
End
Jolt climbed on board with a fish in her hand.
"Here you guys go," Jolt proudly plopped the fish down on the table. The fish looked like it got into an ally fight.
"Thanks. Where are the others?" Rosalina questioned.
"Heck if I know?" Jolt shrugged.
"Um okay.." Rosalina moved the fish over so they could work with it.
"Anyways, I'll go get you guys more to work with," Jolt dived back under the water
"So do either of you know how to cook?" Rosalina regarded Phillip and Melissa.
"If you're looking for a snack, I'm the whole meal," Phillip bantered.
Rosalina ignored that and turned to Melissa.
"I..um..can um..b-build..a m-microwave?" Melissa offered.
"So that's a solid no," Rosalina deduced. She sighed. "Look, just follow my lead."
Nicholas currently was just taking in the sights.
He was using everything for his own inspiration.
Somehow by luck or fate, he found a cove with types of sea creatures in them.
Although instead of capturing them he decided to take them in..for well.. Inspiration.
Jolt was still swiming when she saw a big fish.
She chased it down, and eventually caught it.
Although it wasn't going to go down easily.
Next thing you know she was fighting with the fish.
Confessionals
Jolt- "I've never fought a fish before, but one thing is for sure. I'm going to win!"
End
Jolt struggled as she wrestled with the fish, and it slipped and flipped, smacked her with its fins. It even tried to bite her.
She didn't give up. She scrambled around with the fish until she literally had it in a choke hold.
She resurfaced. "Jolt- 2. Fish- 0"
Although suddenly the fish was taken out of her grip.
"Hey! The heck?!" Jolt looked down, and saw Beatrice had freed the fish.
"What the heck! What gives!" Jolt seethed, clenching her fist.
"Let us be reminded, fish are friends," Beatrice responded like that justified everything.
"This isn't Disney, princess. That was my catch!" Jolt sneered.
"Well um- he didn't do anything," Beatrice maintained her stance defensively.
"You're just trying to sabotage!" Jolt accused.
"Am not! I just-"
Jolt attempted to grab Beatrice's fish friend, but Beatrice splashed her.
"What the heck!" Jolt screamed.
Beatrice then swam away.
Confessionals
Jolt- "Never. Trust. A. Girl. With PINK HAIR! The fact she mentally think it's okay to dye her hair pink tells you enough about her sanity!"
**Static**
Beatrice- "There was no way I was sitting back and letting her take the life of an innocent fish. It was a reasonable action to take. If anything I feel very heroic right now. I bet you that little fishy will go home and tell their kids of the brave woman who saved their life." Her smile held no regrets.
End
Shelby was currently being cornered by a shark. How she got in this situation who knows.
The shark was ready to eat her, when Uma had grabbed her last minute.
The two began to swim, and the shark took up the chase. Uma actually was swimming faster and her hair came undone. Shelby…well she seemed unbothered.
Finally, Uma hit the shark with her heel. The shark whimpered then ran away.
The two went up, finally safe.
"Were you trying to get eaten, dear?" Uma asked her.
"No," Shelby denied. "I was hoping that a shark could lead us to a fish."
"Hmm, smart," Uma admitted. "..you're pretty brain knows a thing or two."
Shelby blinked at the flirt.
"Let's follow us a shark," Uma broke the silence.
Godfrey and Zarian had finally managed to get one fish each in a net. Mikaio also got some fish.
Zarian had to pull Mikaio back after he attempted to swim away like- 5 times. Luckily Mikaio eventually came back with 3 fish he found by chance.
"Told you the reefs are good," Mikaio grinned.
"You are one strange guy," Godfrey commented.
"I know," Mikaio simply accepted.
They returned to Rosalina, Phillip, and Melissa.
The 3 were seasoning the fish that Jolt had brought them.
The boys handed over the fish they caught.
"Okay, so that's 6 fish..any ideas what you're cooking?" Zarian asked them.
"Fish tacos?" Rosalina proposed.
"Aye captain," Philip approved.
"S-sure," Melissa consented.
"We'll leave you guys to it-" Zarian said when-
Melissa had knocked over a bottle of hot sauce and soy sauce it went all on the fish.
"Melissa!" Rosaline noticed.
Everyone's eyes widened.
"I- I didn't m-mean to!" Melissa covered her face.
Confessionals
Melissa- "If the t-team could c-cook me and s-serve me on a p-platter..I f-feel like they w-would."
**Static**
Phillip- "Talk about a recipe for a disaster" he laughed. "What? Too soon."
End
"Okay, get us more fish, we'll think of something," Rosalina ran her hands through her hair.
The boys headed back in the water.
—
Uma and Shelby soon came back both with some fish.
"We followed a shark," Shelby commented.
"Um okay.." Alanar stated.
"More importantly..we got fish," Uma presented their catch.
"Okay, nice," Tamanshini helped them put it on the table.
"Plans?" Tamashini questioned.
"Personally, I always go for a good lobster," Frederick stated
"Plans that deal with what we're working with," Tamashini reworded.
"Something that…is flavorfully, but also not messy," Alanar pictured thoughtfully.
"Sushi!" Frederick proclaimed. "I always love me a good sushi bar!"
"That's a great idea, and I actually know a Japanese sushi recipe," Tamashini realized with a smile.
"And, I can make sure that it has visual appeal," Alanar added in her two cents.
The 3 of them high-fived.
Jolt was now looking for fish, when she noticed the boys. Zarian waved at her. It caught her attention.
They swam up to talk.
"Jolt, we could use your help," Zarian stated. "We need more fish pronto"
"I'm working on it," Jolt stated.
"Well we could do it as a team," Godfrey added. "You know- like we're supposed to"
"Look, I pull my weight. You pull yours," Jolt turned to swim off.
"A bit of a setback occurred.." Mikaio notified her.
"What type of setback?" Jolt asked.
"Let's just say we need more fish," Zarian told her.
"Yea, will that's what I'm trying to do," Jolt dived under water.
"..She isn't much of a team player.." Godfrey put out there.
Confessionals
Godfrey- "Zarian is all about the team. Jolt is about sole work. I'm hoping this difference drives a bit of a wedge between them."
**Static**
Jolt- "Look, I'm going to do what it takes to make us win. If we lose people can know for sure I did my part."
End
Beatrice had followed her newly found fish friend. Did she have a clue where he was taking her? No. Did she follow him anyway? Yes.
She also named him Skylar.
Eventually Skylar stopped and swam around a groove of underwater vegetation.
It was sea lettuce.
She thanked the fish, who swam off, before she began collecting the sea lettuce.
Confessionals
Beatrice- "Being princess of the seas pays off. Life lesson kids: Fish are friends, not food. Most of the time at least. I did eat a calamari once, but that is a conversation for another day."
End
"Time is ticking!" Michigan alerted both teams.
"So Michy.." Darrel sat in the seat beside her. "..I want to first off say..I wish I never left you."
"Yea, well me too," Michigan nodded.
"My dad's business was just so important at the time..that..
"That you had to let me go," Michigan concluded. "I get it. I don't like it, but I get it."
"I never forgot you though," Darrel promised her. "A girl like you, it's hard to forget."
"Darrel.." Michigan put her hand to her heart.
"I'm serious," He promised.
"But why come back? And what about your business?" She wondered.
"Cause.." He put a hand to her cheek. "Some things are more important than business."
"Okay, so what's the plan.." Rosalina was stressed
"I'm so s-sorry- I'm s-such a m-mess- I'm sorry-" Melissa grieved.
"Stop. Stop apologizing," Rosaline demanded. "What's done is done."
Melissa went silent, a disappointed frown on her face.
"Rosie, chill. Both of you ladies. Leave this to chef Phillip," Phillip cracked his knuckles.
"Phillip, do you even know how to operate a microwave," Rosalina stared at him.
"On my worst days no," Phillip confessed. "BUT- do you know how many times I've had random leftovers and scraps after a party and I had to turn it into a meal.
"A lot?" Rosalina and Melissa both guessed.
"Bingo," Phillip smirked with a thumbs up. "I got this. Watch and learn, ladies."
Confessionals
Rosalina- "I can't believe this..but our fate might be in Phillip's hands."
**Static**
Phillip- "Chef phillip has entered the kitchen! Lemme show you how a pro gets it done, good lookin is now cookin!"
End
"Okay, let's wrap the sushi with another layer of fish," Tamanshini directed actually knowing a solid recip.
Alanar stated. "As for the aesthetic, we need to make sure that the food grabs at their appetite."
Frederick was doing as they asked, his hands working quickly.
Beatrice soon returned.
"Beatrice? What did you bring?" Alanar stared at her.
"Well I didn't want to catch a fish.." Beatrice admitted
"So you brought us nothing?"
"I brought sea lettuce!" Beatrice exclaimed.
"Wait..that's perfect!" Frederick realized, and took it.
"We can wrap the fish-" Tamashini registered.
"- in the sea lettuce-" Alanar went one
"- and have sushi!" Frederick finished.
Confessionals
Frederick- "Everything is coming together fabulously! Nothing will taste better- or well, I guess the win might!" He smiled.
**Static**
Tamanshini- "I'm actually a pretty decent chef. Although me and Alanar combining our cultures actually gives us a leg up."
End
Tamashini had went into the kitchen to get some stuff for the sushi.
There he spotted Sienna hard at work.
"You're Sienna.." Tamashini was star struck.
"Oh, huh-" She looked up. "Um yea that's me.."
"I'm such a big fans and- where are my manners, I'm Tamashini," Tamashini greeted.
"Pleasure..I'm Sienna- oh wait you knew that," She smiled awkardly.
"Um what happened..to your channel..I used to watch all the time and then it just..disappeared.." Tamashini mentioned.
She had this look on her face. "It's a long story.."
"Tamashini!" Frederick called.
"Another time," Tamashin supposed as he left.
Sienna nodded, though she frowned as she sulked in the past.
Soon all members of the Killer Kinkajous. were back.
"What happened to the fish?" Jolt remarked.
"Melissa happened," Rosalina retorted.
"Not surprised.." Jolt retorted
"I..i-t was an accident-" Melissa frowned, her eyes pointed at her feet.
"No worries, chillax," Phillip stated. "I've created a fish..salad mix."
"Does it taste good?" Godfrey fretted.
"Um..it's edible," Phillip claimed.
"We'll take that over nothing," Rosalina supposed.
The other team has finished their sushi. It actually looked like something you would find out of a Chinese buffet or sushi bar.
Nicholas had also managed to find them shrimp.
"Don't forget to credit me," Nicholas smiled.
"We won't.." Tamashini murmured.
"I would eat this up if it wasn't for the challenge," Frederick smiled.
"Freddy..thanks for coming up with the sushi idea," Tamanshini smiled at him.
"Thanks, for perfecting my sushi idea," Frederick responded.
"Well..we have everything together," Alanar held up the plate between the two of them, accidentally interrupting the moment.
"Time up!" Darrel called. "I'm starving, and I want to see what you guys bring to the table."
Confessionals
Melissa- "It's the m-moment of t-truth. T-this can b-be the d-difference b-between me staying..or g-going h-home"
**Static**
Alanar- "Well the only hope now is that we are able to sever up a win!"
End
"Okay, first up, the Colorful Cobras," Michigan decided.
Frederick strutted out with a big smile.
"If your eyes aren't already enjoying this, I promise your mouth will," Frederick quipped before placing the food in front of both of them.
"Ohh sushi!" Michigan was impressed.
"You made this?" Darrel asked.
"Fresh and natural," Frederick confirmed with a pleasant nod.
They both tried it.
After gathering the taste, they both nodded.
"I would hire you guys to be my chef," Darrel commented.
"It was delicious," Michigan affirmed.
"Okay, and now the Killer Kinkajous," Michigan moved along.
"Fair lady and..Darrel," Phillip glanced at them, but his eyes focused on Michigan.
Darrel purposefully put his arm around Michigan at that moment.
"I present you a creative dish, the fish salad. Fish bits, with some flavorful sauce on top, and a bit of crackers we matched to snag," Phillip told.
"Creatively digusting," Darrel dissed.
"It's for people with taste.." Phillip commented back.
Michigan narrowed her eyes, but then tried it.
She chewed for a long while, the food processing in her mouth.
"It's..it's…it's good?" Michigan confessed.
Everyone on the Killer Kinkajous gasped.
"Don't flatter him, babe," Darrel then tried it.
He paused mid-chew. "It surprising doesn't taste like sh#t"
They brought Sienna to be the tie breaker.
After trying both dishes the three of them whispered.
Both teams waited apprehensively.
"The winner of the challenge is…"
"...Colorful Cobras! There dish was more traditional. Better flavor overall. And great visual appearance!"
The Colorful Cobras cheered.
Frederick hugged Tamashini, who hugged him back.
Alanar and Uma smiled at one another.
Shelby and Beatrice clapped, and Nicholas was boasting "Winners! The winners are us! Qe have won! We win!"
Davy walked over to his team, regarding them with a small, but apprehensive smile.
"I guess you lot aren't a bunch of muppets," Davy acknowledged.
"You think?" Alanar smirked.
"I still would have carried," Davy crossed his arms.
"Sure," Alanar just laughed.
The Killer Kinkajous had mixed reactions.
Jolt was pissed, Rosalina was frustrated and disappointed, Zarian looked defeated, Godfrey was unbothered, Phillip was a bit sadden, Mikaio didn't seem to care, and Melissa looked guilty.
Confessionals
Davy- "Eh, so we won. I can't be mad at that. Good job I guess."
**Static**
Melissa- "Why is it a-always m-me! Why!"
**Static**
Alanar- "And we won again!"
**Static**
Zarian- "What are we doing wrong?"
End
—
"Hey um Davy," Beatrice pulled him to the side. "Thank you."
"What?" Davy was confused.
"We never said thank you for winning the reward challenge. That win was just as important as this one," Beatrice professed.
"I- yea, well duh- Davy always wins," Davy retorted
Beatrice smiled. "I have no doubt of it."
Davy then cleared his throat.
"Hm?" Beatrice looked at him.
"Thank you- for um- what you said," Davy told her begrudgingly.
"Of course," Beatrice vowed. "That's what teammates are for-"
"Why? After everything?" Davy questioned.
"Cause I care," Beatrice asserted. "I've always did. I always will-"
Davy then in sudden moment kissed her.
"Sorry I wasn't thinking and-"
Beatrice stopped him. She then kissed him back.
Confessionals
Davy- He covered his face. "I don't know what's with me. But it isn't me, it's her. She is just..she's actually a nice girl."
**Static**
Beatrice- "And the crab removed his shell."
End
Killer Kinkajou (Day 6)
The team gathered together, most faces looking solemn.
"So should we talk in smaller groups.." Godfrey suggested.
"That's probably for the best," Rosalina agreed.
"I need to go clean my glasses," Melissa stated. She then left for the bathroom.
As soon as she left, Jolt looked at the group.
"She's gone," Jolt decided.
"Yea, she said she went to clean her glasses," Mikaio misinterpreted.
"No, she's gone, like she's the one out," Jolt specified crossly. "All our votes lock in on her."
"I mean it makes the most sense," Rosalina supposed.
"She should have been gone like last elimination," Jolt went on.
Confessionals
Jolt- "Melissa should have been gone like…yesterday! This has been a long time coming"
**Static**
Godfrey- "I'll write any name that isn't my own. Melissa…I mean, she's a non-factor. A joke. Laughable. Sending her home is almost a waste…maybe a bigger fish can be caught."
End
"She is a determinant," Godfrey deduced with a heavy sigh. "This is unfortunately best for the team, which I want to prioritize."
"Are we all on board?" Phillip looked around.
No opposition was given.
They could hear Melissa coming.
"What name do we tell her?" Godfrey then spoke up.
"It shouldn't matter," Rosalina decided.
As Melissa came back in, everyone acted casually.
"So..umm.." Melissa stared awkwardly.
"I'll catch you up," Phillip offered.
Zarian had walked outside of the room. He looked conflicted.
"Zarian, you good?" Godfrey approached him.
"It's the vote.." Zarian admitted.
"Man, we'll get it next time," Godfrey encouraged.
"Losing again..I just..it's hard.." Zarian sighed.
"We'll make a comeback."
Zarian nodded. "We have to."
"Zarian, with a guy like you I know we will," Godfrey claimed.
"Thanks dude.." Zarian pushed a small smile on his face.
"So Melissa-" Godfrey regarded.
"I don't want to vote her," Zarian stated.
"-what?" Godfrey tilted his head.
"Look, I thought about what you said..and I feel like..in the end. For the team, Jolt is much more of a problem," Zarian shared.
"Wow…I mean, that's interesting," Godfrey couldn't help but smirk.
Confessionals
Godfrey- "Hook. Line. Sinker! We caught the bigger fish, Jolt. Zarian wants to push out Jolt's name. Perfect. Jolt."
**Static**
Zarian- "I hate this. I hate going to elimination. I hate sending a team member home. But that's the thing, Melissa at least feels like a team member. Jolt feels like..just another player. This has to be done."
End
"So you agree?" Zarian checked.
"Man, if you want to do it, you have my support," Godfrey assured.
"Okay..but like how?" Zarian then asked.
Godfrey wanted to roll his eyes.
"Numbers. Get Rosalina, if you get her vote, Mikaio and Phillip will follow," Godfrey advised.
"Okay, let's do it," Zarian nodded.
—
Zarian was then chatting with Mikaio near the tower.
"...so that's why I'm thinking, Jolt," Zarian finished.
"Mkay," Mikaio blinked.
"That's all? You have nothing to add?" Zarian was surprised.
"I mean you said your piece, it made sense," Mikaio shrugged.
"Okay, but keep it under wraps," Zarian pleaded. "Although tell Rosalina."
"Yea, sure," Mikaio conceded.
Jolt had come to talk to Godfrey.
"So who is Melissa voting?" Jolt inquired.
"Who knows," Godfrey shrugged. "You good?"
"It feels easy…too easy.." Jolt murmured. "I feel like Melissa would be panicking or whining, or doing whatever the heck she does."
Godfrey thought.
"Jolt, question. What's the end goal..for you?"
"By that you mean?" Jolt raised an eyebrow.
"Like how do you want to move forward in the game?"
"I want to move forward with strong people, I thought that was pretty clear," Jolt responded.
"Where do I fall in that," Godfrey wondered.
"I mean you certainly aren't a weakling," Jolt denoted.
"Good to hear," Godfrey nodded. "Good to hear."
Confessionals
Godfrey- "I'm having second thoughts. Maybe keeping Jolt around would be better for my game after all. But…I'm not going to put my neck out for her."
**Static**
Jolt- "It only makes sense to keep a strong group of players around. Then we win challenges and won't have to focus on elimination. Then I can worry about alliances or relationships or whatever."
End
The Deck (Day 6)
Rosalina found Mikaio on top of a fake tropical tree that was on the deck.
"Do you normally climb trees?" Rosalina questioned.
"I don't even remember how I got here..I saw like this cool cloud, and next thing you know I'm in a tree," Mikaio stated. "It be like that, you know?"
"Not really," Rosalina admitted.
"You know my favorite type of tree is like- well like there is baobab tree, but there is also like the Rainbow Eucalyptus," Mikaio prattled on.
"Interresting," Rosalina actually was intrigued. "But let's discuss the important matter: The vote."
"Oh the vote- yea there was something I was supposed to tell you.." Mikaio stroked his chin.
"Yes?"
He took a long moment.
"Oh right! So Zarian says to vote Jolt," Mikaio recalled.
"Really now?" Rosalina considered this. "Why?"
"More dangerous, more individualistic, yada yada," Mikaio shrugged.
Rosalina thought.
"You're the brains, Rosie. What do you think.." Mikaio stared at her
"I think..we need to weigh both sides," Rosalina confessed.
Confessionals
Rosalina- "This alliance with Mikaio is paying off. He brought me an important bit of info. Now what to do with it is the next question. Stay with the original vote: Melissa. Or send home Jolt. On one hand, Jolt…I feel like she would push her own agenda. She'll always put her game ahead of anyone else's. But Melissa..she's..to be frank. An utter mess. She will drag this team down and I can't have that."
End
"Am I able to join?" Phillip asked, suddenly coming over.
Rosalina actually….nodded.
Mikaio then fell out of the tree.
Rosalina pulled him to his feet, and had the boys carol around her. "Boys, I know what we're doing tonight…"
Elimination (Night 6)
The Killer Kinkajous came out onto the deck, where they found Michigan still dressed in her beautiful attire from her date.
"Thanks for the lovely evening at my date, unfortunately you guys also have a date scheduled with me…only this one isn't as enjoyable," Michigan stared at them.
"None of us looked forward to this," Rosalina sighed.
"No, I suppose you wouldn't. Let's not make this a weekly occurrence," Michigan stated. "As much as I love your faces, I'm sure it gets tiring."
"We are tired. Two losses were enough for me, and I think we all feel that way," Jolt spoke up.
"Okay, so is the loss really going to impact the vote tonight?"
"Certainly," Godfrey answered, to which everyone nodded.
"And how do you decide who goes?"
"At the end of the day we're a team. Sending someone home hurts…but we have to look inwards. Someone here doesn't fit in to this mix, and.." Zarian swallowed disapointedly. "...we have to send them home."
"So will that solve things?
"It will, and I'm tired of beating around the bush," Jolt voiced.
Everyone looked at her.
"Melissa should be going home tonight!" Jolt denounced.
"W-what?!" Melissa yelped as her head spun in Jolt's direction.
"We are done babying you, like I'm tired of it!" Jolt continued,
"N-no one is babying me?!" Melissa protested.
"We lost cause you spilled freaking condiments on our food, like a child!" Jolt accused.
Melissa frowned as she couldn't argue against that.
The other members of the team either leaned in or just looked at their feet.
"I'm tired of it! We're tired of it!" Jolt grilled. "Every time we lose it always comes back you you! The problem isn't a what, it's a who? It's you!"
"You know what! You know what!" Melissa actually raised her voice. "I'm tired of you! YOU! You have been rude to me from day one! And I'm done with it!
"Well, you won't have to worry about it when you're gone!" Jolt shot back.
"And you know what! I'm an inventor! I'm smart! I may be clumsy! I may be whatever! But I know I can do stuff!" Melissa roared which took everyone by surprise. She stood up and towered over Jolt. "So SORRY that I can't run super fast! SORRY I can't speak properly! SORRY that I'm not perfect at this game!"
There was complete silence after that. Melissa then had a seat, being shaken up and distraught.
"Hey, look the stars are out.." Mikaio then commented as he pointed up.
"Not the time, buddy," Rosalina shook her head.
"Okay well.." Michigan coughed as she awkwardly brushed back her hair. "I wasn't expecting free entertainment tonight..but thanks? So anything else to be said or are we ready to-"
"Vote," The entire team asserted.
"Let's get to it," Michigan nodded her head.
As everyone put their vote in there was actually hesitation. People actually seemed to be thinking. Although certain individuals shared looks as they went to vote.
"Okay, so the votes are in," Michigan gathered the crackers that she would pass out. "We got some nice sea cracker."
"First, cracker goes to Godfrey."
Godfrey nodded expectantly, taking a bite of his edible representation of safety.
"Mikaio."
Mikaio was distracted and it hit his forehead, then landed in his palm.
"Rosalina."
Rosalina didn't seem phased or surprised.
"Phillip."
Phillip caught it in his mouth.
"Last, safe person is Zarian."
Zarian took his cracker, but his head was down. This decision weighed on him.
Melissa covered her face. She looked like she would break down.
Jolt crossed her arms, her hands molded into fist.
"Welp, it all comes down to this," Michigan addressed the 2 girls. "One cracker remains ladies."
Jolt stared forward confidently.
Melissa just nodded, as she already looked defeated.
"Okay girls, the final cracker goes to…."

"Melissa! By a vote of 7-1. Jolt you are the second person voted off."
Melissa fell to the floor in disbelief.
Jolt was also in disbelief..but for a whole different reason.
"Guys! What the heck!" Jolt shot out of her seat.
Rosalina stared at her with sympathy. Zarian couldn't meet her eyes.
Godfrey, Mikaio, and Phillip just waved.
"The plunge of shame, awaits," Michigan directed.
"I hope you guys are happy!" Jolt marched over to the plunge of shame. She walked over to Rosalina and handed her a note. "Enjoy losing more challenges!"
Michigan pressed the button, but Jolt jumped off herself. "Adios, losers!"
"And we say goodbye to Jolt. That's unfortunate. 14 now remain. Will the Killer Kinkajous finally get a win? Will Melissa catch a break? Will the Fab Five rise? What of Davy, Uma, and Beatrice? After my romantic night, whatver romances will rise? Find out next time on Total. Sole. Survivor. Spies at Sea!"
The Votes
Godfrey- Melissa
"This was…a hard decision. But when I thought about it, you would be hard to get out later. Melissa on the other hand, I can always take her out. Well you like running, so it seems you ran out of time."
Jolt- Melissa
"I'm so glad you are finally going home! Goodbye! See ya! Tell Mistral I say hi!"
Melissa- Jolt
"If this is the l-last v-vote I cast, so b-be it.."
Mikaio- Jolt
"Um, so we decided on your name. So um. Yea. Bye."
Phillip- Jolt
"Well 1. You never flirted back with me. 2. Also I think you threatened to like drown me once? Yea, so bye"
Zarian- Jolt
"Jolt, I actually enjoyed our time together. It's just I have to do what is best for the team. Melissa will play for the team…while I feel like you want the team to play for you. I'm sorry, but as a man of the team. This has to be done."
Rosalina- Jolt
"Jolt..you are a great player. Which is exactly why I have to vote you. You can and will push your own agenda. You managed to convince everyone to vote Mistral. You almost did the same with Melissa. I hope you understand this isn't personal. It's game."

Jolt's final message
"I really think this was a dumb decision! They will hands down regret keeping Melissa! Mark! My! Words!" She crossed her arms. "The only reason I was so..cranky was cause we kept losing. They didn't get to see all of me. I didn't get to open up all the way. But trust, if I got my feet on the ground I would have taken off in this game and no one could stop me. Give me another chance, I promise I will reach the finish line."
Eliminated
16. Mistral Rivera-Hwang (The Contrary Hoarder)
15. Jolt Roxas (The Fiesty Runner)
Note: I really liked Jolt, and is definetly someone I would love to write again. It's just Melissa's story doesn't end here. So that's why she stays. Otherwise Jolt was a really fun contestant, and brought spice and energy to the first 2 episodes.
