Alara's interview: We pretty much all know who's going home. There were only a few choices and the alliance thought one was a bigger threat than the others. I'm pretty sure even the person going home knows.

Shep's interview, unedited: Kallik says if you eat an entire polar bear liver you'll die because it has so much vitamin C. I was really surprised, but she's not the kind to lie about something like that. But she's never eaten a polar bear liver. I asked. She said they're too rare.

Octavia's interview: I'm pretty sure I got the heat off me for another round. If I just eke it out until the merge, I'll be in the clear. I might already have enough money for the thing I need. It's about $5000 per episode we last. It's always good to have cushion, though.

Trydan's interview, unedited: Ellekoner should vote out either Dorian or Octavia. Don't tell Val I said that.

Dorian Sargasso- District Four male (18)

Tribal council had the air of a formality to it. By this point, pretty much everyone knew who was in the majority alliance. It was easy to see who the possible targets were. In this case, it was easy to guess who the alliance had picked from that small pool.

Lana was the only one who hadn't gotten the memo. She had the same half-scared and half-hopeless look she'd had at every council from the start. I was about to let her in on things when Virgo beat me to it.

"Hey," she said gently to Lana. "It's not you. It's me."

"How do you know?" Lana asked.

Virgo smiled. "It was you or me and I heard they picked me. Guess they didn't want to live without your cooking."

Lana glanced around to see if anyone would argue. Everyone else pretended to be looking somewhere else.

Isabella dramatically entered from the voting booth so the camera crew could get a good shot. "Another tribal council for Ellekoner," she said as she took her place behind her podium. "Thoughts?"

"I'm sorry, it's going to be a boring one," Virgo said. "It's me. There's a big alliance and they picked me."

"Is this true?" Isabella fished for someone else to give more sound bites. Her lack of surprise indicated she already knew. No doubt she reviewed the interviews and camp footage regularly along with the rest of the crew.

"There's definitely a big alliance and I did hear they were going to vote for her," Alara allowed.

"Yeah, we may as well admit it," Enzo said. "I won't give away who, but pretty sure everyone can tell based on which of us haven't gotten a single vote these last few weeks."

"Any arguments to make in your defense?" Isabella asked Virgo.

Virgo flipped up her palms in a resigned way. "I'm pretty sure there's nothing to say. None of them are mad at me and this isn't because I messed anything up. I just got the short end of the straw this week. Guess I should have gotten in early on the alliance. It's not the end of the world. I'm going to bring home more money then I ever thought I'd have."

"Yeah, that's pretty much it," Enzo admitted. "It just had to be someone." This should have been an easy week. The rest of us knew we weren't on the chopping block. It wasn't what I wanted, though. I hadn't even wanted to go into a normal Games and stab people in the face. I absolutely didn't want to be here stabbing them in the back. This whole thing had been a blast, but these parts were horrible. I felt even worse looking at Enzo. I knew how hard he'd taken it when we chose Rowena. Now we were all ganging up on Virgo, who had never hurt a fly. I felt like I barely even knew her and now I was kicking her off. All I knew was that she was pretty quiet, she loved our animals, and she hated having messy hair. Hardly reason to turn on someone.

"If anyone has a hidden immunity idol, now would be the time to use it," Isabella said after we'd cast our votes. We all held our breath, wondering if Virgo had been a chessmaster all along and whoever she'd voted for was about to get a rude awakening. But she shook her head.

"Once the votes have been read, the decision is final." Isabella reached into the urn.

"Virgo. Virgo. Virgo. Virgo. Eleventh person eliminated from Survivor: Virgo."

"Been fun, everyone," Virgo said as she slid off the bench and stood.

"Virgo, the tribe has spoken," Isabella said, and snuffed her torch. Virgo have an oh well little smile and walked off.

Virgo's final interview: Bummer I couldn't stick around a while longer, but I had a great time. I have plenty of money for some nice new equipment and I'm excited to get back to all my animals.

Eleventh eliminated: Virgo Charleston-

Sooooo... unfortunate timing, but if it helps, pretty much everyone sent in their apology that they voted for Virgo right after she died in the LCS story. It was just a matter of only a few people not being in the big alliance and, I suspect, Lana getting passed over since she's a woobie. I thought at this point everyone in-universe would know who's in the alliance, though I'm writing it ambiguously since out-of-universe they're secret, so it seemed likely Virgo would know this was coming, which cushioned the blow. Bum day for Fiona but at least there are other CRs still in progress.
