Jeff: (Narrating)
Previously on Survivor: .
It was a whole
new day at Smallwood after Will's new alliance of Sylvia, Kris, and Kevin
voted out Melissa. And while Lora lived in depression and Dan lived
in denial, Amanda was hatching a scheme to fight back. After winning
a team-based reward with Kris, she hoped to entice him away from his new
alliance and vote out Will. Amanda managed to bring Lora and Dan
over to her side, but Kris remained indecisive. It all became moot,
however, when Will built fire the fastest and won immunity. Kris
refused to turn on his longtime friend Sylvia, and the alliance held.
Dan was their second victim. .
Six remain.
Who will be voted out tonight?

(The Survivors
return from Tribal Council. Will and Sylvia
walk beside
each other, leading the hike back to camp)
.
Sylvia: (sighs)
I know it's just a game, but I always feel horrible after Tribal Council...
.
Will: (nods) Yeah,
it's tough.
.
Sylvia: Dan
trusted us, Will! He stuck by us through everything old Coble
went through.
.
Will: Yeah,
that's true. But really, don't you think it was about his time to
go?
.
Sylvia: (shrugs)
Yeah, I guess.
.
Sylvia: (Narrating)
Voting people off never gets easier. I try to stay objective
in this game, but it's just so hard not to get caught up in all
the social dynamics. Yes, I'm going to miss Dan. Sure, he had
his problems, but hey, we all do. Really... I think that's what makes
us human. .
(Sylvia leans
in next to Will. He puts his arm around her.
Pan up to
his face. He's got a little smirk on his face)
.
Will: (Narrating)
I wasn't sad at all to see Dan go. Oh sure, he was a fairly decent
guy, but come on! He was completely undeserving to win. I would
hate to watch Dan in the endgame. It was completely my idea
to get rid of him. Kris agreed, and Sylvia and Kevin fell in line.
Until the night Jeff snuffs my torch at Tribal Council, my goal will be
to keep the game as interesting as possible. And if that means getting
rid of boring people like Dan, then so be it. .
(The tribe
arrives back at camp. The Survivors put up their torches and backpacks.
Lora dumps
her stuff
on the ground, obviously quite depressed. Kevin walks up to her,
rubbing his eyes)
.
Kevin: Hey
Lora, I think it's coming...
.
Lora: (sighs) What's
coming, Kevin?
.
Kevin: Oh,
wait... here it is...
.
(Kevin throws
his arms up and stretches as he lets out a huge yawn)
.
Kevin: Man!
That was a big one! I must be more tired than I thought.
.
Lora: (exasperated)
Whatever, Kevin.
.
(Lora walks
off angrily, leaving Kevin in confusion)
.
Kevin: (To no one
in particular) They say yawns are contagious.
.
Lora: (Narrating,
on the verge of tears) Why does Kevin have to be so unreliable? He
told us he was going to vote with us at Tribal Council, but then he turned
right around and voted with Will and Sylvia. (sobs) I just wanna stay in
this game. After everything I've been through, I really want
to win that money. But I just don't see how that's going to happen
now. .
(The Survivors
split up and prepare for sleep. Amanda lights a lantern and writes
in her journal. Kevin curls up in the shelter and falls asleep almost
instantly. Kris lies beside him, a troubled look on his face)
.
Kris: (Narrating)
Council did not go at all the way I'd hoped. Ideally, Amanda's plan
to get rid of Will would have succeeded. But since Will won Immunity,
we had to settle for Dan. True, it was a loose end that had to be
tied up eventually, but I'd much rather have taken out my greatest adversary
in his stead. .
(Kris rolls
over and falls asleep. An aerial shot pans out from the camp.
A lone light is visible from the night sky. The stars rush by, a
gull snatches a fish out of the dark ocean. The sun begins to rise
on a new day.
.
The camera
scans across Amanda's running trail, but she's nowhere to be seen.
Cut back
to camp. Amanda sits in front of a crate. Her journal sits
open atop it.
She frowns
and stares at the page, which she's covered in various charts)
.
Amanda: (muttering)
Not even against Sylvia?
.
(Amanda gets
back to writing in her journal)
.
Amanda: (Narrating)
After Dan was voted out at Tribal Council, I stayed up all night thinking
about every possible way this game could play out. And as much as
I hate it, I think my only chance of winning the game is against Will.
Over the next three days, I have to find some way to pull him away from
his alliance. Unfortunately, Will and Sylvia are a package deal,
so I'll also have to find some way to sway her. (Sighs) No one ever said
this game would be easy. .
(Will gets
up and walks out to tend to the fire. Amanda
hides her
journal in her backpack and approaches him)
.
Amanda: Will,
can I talk to you before everyone else gets up?
.
Will: Sure
thing, Duh. What's on your mind?
.
Amanda: (whispering)
You're in danger. The next time you lose immunity, Kris will
get rid of you.
.
Will: (nods) Yeah,
I suspect as much as well.
.
Amanda: Listen
to me. Your only chance is to bring Sylvia and come vote with me
and Lora. If you don't take Kris out, you're through.
.
Will: (shaking his
head) I don't think Sylvia or Lora would be too keen on that.
.
Amanda: Just
think it through, OK? I have.
.
Will: (nods) All
right. I'll keep my options open.
.
Amanda: Thanks.
.
(Sylvia comes
out to the fire. Amanda nods at Will and rushes out of camp)
.
Sylvia: (groggily)
What was that about?
.
Will: Oh,
nothing, really. How are you doing this morning?
.
Sylvia: Not
that great...
.
Sylvia: (Narrating)
This game really starts to take its toll on you after 31 days. When
you're living in isolation like this, you really start to miss all the
little things. Nothing like a little deprivation to make you realize
what's really important. Coming out here, I thought I could go 39
days without seeing my family. But... I'm really starting to miss
them. This is the longest I've ever been away from them. Sure,
I've got some great friends out here, but you can never really connect
with other people the same way you do with your family. .
(Sylvia sits
down and watches Will tend to the fire.
Before long,
Lora comes out and has a seat, too)
.
Lora: (coldly) Do
we have anything for breakfast?
.
Will: There's
those beetroots we found, if we want to boil those today.
.
Lora: Yeah,
do it.
.
(Will goes
off to fetch the beetroots. Lora ignores Sylvia, staring into the
fire)
.
Lora: (Narrating)
This is so unfair! There's no one I can connect to out here.
Sure, Amanda's sort of been my friend, but I can't trust her at all.
I've never felt this alone. If I wasn't so close to
the money, I'd just give up and fly home right now. I just miss my
family so much. If I could just hear their voices and see their
smiling faces, I know I could make it through these last few days. .
(Sylvia ventures
to start a conversation)
.
Sylvia: How
are you holding up?
.
Lora: (under her
breath) Like you care...
.
Sylvia: (analytically)
Why would you think I didn't care?
.
Lora: (sarcastic)
Hmm... Well, the whole alliance thing was a major clue.
.
Sylvia: Lora...
.
Lora: Just save
it, OK?
.
(Lora turns
away from Sylvia. Sylvia pauses for a moment, then speaks)
.
Sylvia: Are you
homesick, too?
.
(Lora turns
to face Sylvia)
.
Lora: (softly) Yeah.
.
Sylvia: It's
hitting all of us, but I knew it'd hit you the hardest.
.
Lora: What's
that supposed to mean?
.
Sylvia: Well,
no offense, but you're the most emotional out of all of us. I wish
there was something I could do to help you.
.
Lora: Really?
.
Sylvia: Yeah.
Of course.
.
(Will returns
with a handful of hard, red roots)
.
Will: OK,
these might take a while to cook. (Sensing
a change in the mood) What up?
.
Sylvia: We're
just both a little homesick, aren't we Lora?
.
Lora: (turning away)
Yeah.
.
(Will rolls
his eyes slightly as he drops the beets into a pot of water)
.
Will: (Narrating)
People are homesick? Please! It's only been a month.
I go for much longer than that without seeing my family. I
don't know, maybe that's just the nature of this game. People get
a little introspective, start thinking they're having a life-changing experience...
Me, I can recognize it as a competition for a million dollars, but I guess
other people are a just little more melodramatic. .
(Cut to a
shot of the roots boiling. The sun rises
higher in
the sky. Kris and Kevin go for Tree Mail)
.
Kris: Reward
Challenge, Kevin.
.
Kevin: Do
you think maybe... we'll win a... whale-watchin' trip?
.
Kris: Hmm...
I believe that already occurred, Kevin.
.
Kevin: Oh
yeah...
.
(Kris pulls
out the mail)
.
Kris: Shall
we read this?
.
Kevin: Yeah...
.
Kris: All
right. (reading) It's been 31 days
Since you landed on this isle
And the lives of those outside
Have continued all the while
.
This challenge is a-maze-ing
You won't go it alone
If you navigate fastest
You'll receive word from home
.
Kris: (smiles) "Word
from home." Excited, Kevin?
.
Kevin: Mmm...
yeah. I think... probably so.
Reward
Challenge: The A-Maze-ing Race
(Aerial shot
of a large circular maze, comprised of a skeleton of wooden beams with
burlap stretched
across to form the walls. The Survivors enter and approach Jeff)
.
Jeff: Guys,
welcome. OK, we are now entering our second month out here, Day 31.
And the one thing that's become very clear is you guys are missing the
people that matter most to you in your lives.
.
Lora: Yes!
I miss my family so much!
.
Jeff: All
right. For today's challenge, we asked your loved ones to write each
of you a long, heartfelt letter telling how everything's going at home.
How does that sound?
.
Sylvia: That
sounds awesome!
.
Jeff: Yeah
well, unfortunately, writing letters is a dead art form. We couldn't
get any of them to do it.
.
(Lora and
Sylvia groan. Will nods and smiles knowingly at Jeff)
.
Jeff: Yeah,
they said that if they were going to talk to you, it would have to be in
person. Heather, get out here!
.
(A twenty
something blonde girl steps out behind a wall of the maze)
.
Jeff: Lora,
your sister, Heather.
.
(Lora starts
bawling like a baby at the sight of her sister)
.
Heather: Hey,
Lora! We are all rooting for you! You just hang in there, girl!
.
Lora: (sniffing)
I will, Heather.
.
(Heather
stops and stands next to Jeff, who calls out the next loved one)
.
Jeff: Kris,
it's your cousin, Matt.
.
(A tall young
man with buzzed hair walks out. Kris
smiles and
nods at his cousin and best friend)
.
Kris: Ah,
Mateo, we meet again.
.
Matt: Verdad,
Cristobal! Obviously, you're doing well. I knew that you'd
own at this game. Keep up whatever you're doing, man!
.
(Matt stands
next to Heather. Jeff calls out the next loved one)
.
Jeff: Kevin,
say hey to your sister Kayla.
.
(A dark-haired,
athletic girl comes out)
.
Kevin: (not at all
surprised to see her) Uh... Hey, Kayla.
.
Kayla: Hello,
Kevin! We are so proud of you! We knew you could do
it, buddy.
.
Kevin: Yeah...
.
(Kayla takes
her spot in the line)
.
Jeff: Amanda,
it's your father, Richard.
.
(A lanky
farmer with slicked-back silvery hair comes out)
.
Richard: Amanda,
you are doing a fantastic job! We're all really proud of you!
We're always keep you in our prayers back home, so you just play the best
game you can.
.
(Amanda smiles
slightly and nods. Richard takes his spot in the line)
.
Jeff: Sylvia,
your sister Monica.
.
(A blonde
girl who looks similar to Sylvia comes out. Sylvia smiles and begins
to tear up)
.
Monica: Sylvia!
Way to go! You've made it this far, don't look back now! You
can take this game to the end!
.
(Monica takes
her spot next to Richard)
.
Jeff: Will,
it's your brother and Survivor Missouri alum, Jake.
.
(Jake comes
out, wearing his old Velasquez buff as a headband)
.
Jake: Will, they
told me to shout some lame encouraging lines at you, but, um, I don't really
feel like it.
.
(Will smiles.
Jake takes his place at the end of the line)
.
Jeff: All
right guys. Your loved ones have traveled a long way to be present
for this challenge, so let's get to it. For this challenge, each
Survivor will be paired off with their respective loved one.
.
(The Survivors
murmur approval. The loved ones are
allowed to
walk over and stand with their respective Survivors)
.
Jeff: You'll
be running through this huge circular maze, collecting talismans that are
located at six different stations. At each station, one team will
be eliminated. The first station has only five talismans, so the
last team to arrive is out. The second station has only four, so
another team will be eliminated. The last team to arrive at each
station is eliminated until only one remains. First team to make
it back here with all six talismans wins reward. Make sense to everyone?
.
(The teams
murmur "yes")
.
Jeff: All
right. Let's get it on. Line up, wait for my go.
.
(Each team
takes a spot at one of six starting gates, equally spread around the perimeter
of the maze)
.
Will: (To Jake)
I have a great sense of direction, so just follow my lead.
.
Jake: Dah,
OK.
.
Jeff: Survivors
ready? (doing the arm thing) Go!
.
(The teams
take off. The first station is an equal distance from each starting
point, but the teams that are nearer have to take a more complex route.
Sylvia and Monica sprint through the maze)
.
Monica: Keep
your eyes peeled for station one.
.
Sylvia: Right.
.
(Lora and
Heather are already lost)
.
Heather: I
don't see anything that looks like a station!
.
Lora: Yeah,
me neither.
.
(Amanda and
Richard spot the station)
.
Richard: Right
there!
.
Amanda: I
see it.
.
(Amanda and
Richard run towards the station. Will and Jake
round a corner
just ahead of them and grab a talisman)
.
Richard: Will,
Jake. How you guys doing?
.
Will and Jake:
Fine.
.
(Will and
Jake run off with their talisman. Amanda grabs a talisman and she
and Richard take off. Sylvia and Monica soon find the station and
grab their talisman. Cut to Kris and Matt)
.
Matt: (panicking)
Where is it?
.
Kris: Stay
calm, Mateo.
.
(Kris and
Matt round a corner and find the station. They grab their talisman
and continue.
Kayla is trying to corral Kevin through the maze)
.
Kayla: Come
on, buddy. This is a race.
.
Kevin: (frustrated)
I know, Kayla!
.
(Lora and
Heather finally find the first station)
.
Heather: We
made it!
.
Lora: There's
one left!
.
(Heather
and Lora grab the final talisman and continue. When Kayla
leads Kevin
to the station, there are no talismans left)
.
Kayla: We're
last, Kevin. That means I have to leave.
.
Kevin: OK,
buddy.
.
(As Kevin
and Kayla exit the maze, the race continues. Will and Jake run by
a station)
(Will and
Jake continue on. Lora and Heather are hopelessly lost)
.
Heather: We
were just here!
.
Lora: This
sucks!
.
(Elsewhere,
Amanda and Richard have also become lost)
.
Richard: Gosh
Darnit, Amanda! The station we want is back this way.
.
Amanda: No,
Dad! I know what I'm doing!
.
Richard: Would
you stop being so pig-headed and just listen to me?
.
Amanda: (Rolling
her eyes) Fine.
.
(Will and
Jake are the first to arrive at station two. They grab a talisman
and continue. Before long, Sylvia and Monica also arrive and grab
their talisman. Kris and Matt are the next to arrive)
(Amanda and
Richard reach the station and continue on. Lora and Heather are the
last to arrive)
.
Heather: I knew
it. We're last.
.
Lora: This
sucks! I really wanted to win!
.
Heather: Yeah.
I meant what I said. You just hang in there, OK?
.
Lora: (tearing up)
I will, sis.
.
(Heather
and Lora exit the maze. The race begins to heat up)
(Will leads
Jake to station three. They grab their talisman and
continue.
Sylvia and Monica are the next to arrive)
.
Monica: I
think the Kraut brothers are beating us.
.
Sylvia: Not
for long.
.
(Matt and
Kris arrive and grab their talisman. They continue on. Jake
and Will race
towards station
four. Cut back to Amanda and Richard, the last pair to arrive at
station three)
.
Amanda: We're
last, Dad.
.
Richard: Amanda,
If you'd gone the way I wanted to- (stops) Well, don't worry about it.
It was good to see you, Amanda.
.
Amanda: Yeah,
you too.
.
(Amanda and
Richard exit the maze. Will and Jake grab their talisman
from station
four and continue. Cut to Sylvia and Monica)
.
Monica: Four,
four. Do you remember where it was?
.
Sylvia: No.
.
(At station
four, Kris and Matt arrive)
.
Kris: Still
in it.
.
Matt: Let's
take this one home.
.
(Sylvia and
Monica are the last to arrive at four)
.
Monica: Guess
this is it.
.
Sylvia: Guess
so...
.
(The two
hug and exit the maze. Cut to Will and Jake)
.
Jake: Where
we headed?
.
Will: (turning)
South.
.
Jake: Whatever.
.
(Cut back
and forth between Will and Jake and Kris and Matt. Will and Jake easily
beat them
to station five. They grab the single talisman and continue)
.
Will: It's
ours.
.
(Kris and
Matt arrive at the fifth station and find no talismans)
.
Matt: It's
over just like that, man.
.
Kris: Indeed.
.
Matt: Well,
don't worry. Just take this game, OK, man?
.
Kris: I fully
intend to.
.
(Will and
Jake grab the final talisman at station six and
jog out of
the maze. The defeated pairs stand around Jeff)
.
Jeff: Will,
Jake! The winners!
.
(Will and
Jake exchange high fives)
.
Jake: Was
there ever any doubt?
.
(Jeff turns
to address the others)
.
Jeff: Well,
the rest of you may not have won, but I'm not about to let your loved ones
leave without one final embrace.
.
(Each Survivor
hugs his/her loved one before all the loved
ones take
off. Jeff turns to speak to Will and Jake)
.
Jeff: OK,
here's how this is gonna work, Will. You're gonna hang out, have
some lunch, do a little catch-up, maybe have some dinner, you'll be together
tonight, and you'll wake up in the morning. Welcome your new tribe
member. Jake, you can head back to Smallwood with Will. For
one night, you're a member of Smallwood.
.
Jake: Coolness.
.
(Jeff pulls
out a yellow Smallwood buff)
.
Jeff: We've
got a new buff to replace that old thing.
.
Jake: No thanks.
I prefer this one.
.
(Jeff shrugs.
The Survivors exit, leading Jake back to camp)
Smallwood
.
(The Survivors
arrive back at camp, Jake in tow)
.
Sylvia: Well,
it's not much, but it's home.
.
Jake: (looking around)
Oh, it's definitely not much.
.
(Sylvia mock
laughs and walks away from Jake. Jake
shrugs.
Kris watches the scene and smirks)
.
Kris: (Narrating)
It's certainly interesting to have a new person around the camp site.
I'm acquainted with Jake from high school, but I had no idea of his relations
with the others. It seems that he doesn't get along with Sylvia or
Lora, which I find to be quite amusing. .
(Will shows
Jake around camp)
.
Will: And
this is our shelter.
.
Jake: Pretty
nice. Who built this?
.
Will: Oh,
Becky was able to cajole Brian and Dan into doing some of it, but mostly
it was me and Mary Ellen.
.
Jake: Ahh...
.
Will: (Narrating)
It is ironic that I won the reward, since I was really the least
homesick person out here. But now that Jake is here, I'm glad
that I won. It is nice to have a little slice of home out here, even
if it is a little weird. .
(The tribe
gathers around the fire)
.
Kris: Are
you hungry, Jacobo?
.
Jake: Probably
nowhere near as hungry as you guys, but yeah.
.
Will: We left
some beetroot boiling before the challenge. It should be done by
now.
.
Jake: (Narrating)
It's a weird feeling to be out here on Survivor again. This
cast is living a lot differently than we did. We had our rice just
provided for us, so I was able to just laze around all day. If this
cast tried that, they'd starve. They do have to work for their
food, and let me tell you, the meal they served me when we got back was
truly one of the nastiest things I've ever eaten. (pauses) And I've eaten
cow dung. .
(The Survivors
gather around the fire. Will dishes out boiled beetroot)
.
Will: Here
ya go, big brother. Try some of this.
.
(Jake takes
a bite, makes a face, and forces himself to swallow)
.
Jake: Ugh!
That stuff is awful! We would've thrown this out at Velasquez!
.
Lora: Yeah?
What'd you eat when you were on Survivor that was
so much better?
.
Jake: Oh,
I played old school. Back when they gave us rations.
White rice everyday for us.
.
Sylvia: (under her
breath) Bet that was nice.
.
Jake: (nods) Yes,
it was.
.
(Lora and
Sylvia roll their eyes at Jake.
The Survivors
continue their meal)
.
Kris: So,
Jacobo, what news of the wide world?
.
Jake: (shrugs) I
dunno. I don't keep up on news.
.
Lora: (disgusted)
So what do you do?
.
Jake: Sit
around. Sleep a lot. The lucrative life of a Survivor
runner-up.
.
(Lora and
Sylvia get up and walk away in disgust)
.
Jake: (sarcastic)
Nice tribe, Will.
.
Will: Ah,
don't worry about them.
.
Lora: (Narrating)
This is so unfair! I was this close to having Heather
come stay at camp with us, and instead we got stuck with Jake.
He won't tell us anything about what's going on at home... He's constantly
complaining and eating all our food... This is the worst "reward"
anyone's ever won! .
(The meal
continues)
.
Jake: I feel
sorry for you, being stuck with Lora and Sylvia.
.
Will: Actually,
Sylvia and I have become pretty good friends out here.
.
Jake: Mind
if I ask why?
.
(Amanda smirks)
.
Will: (Narrating)
Jake doesn't get along with Lora or Sylvia. The Sylvia thing goes
back to when she was a bratty little girl who lived across the street,
but she's changed a lot since then. I think he'd probably like her
if he got to know her. As for Lora, I really don't think she and
Jake could ever get along. Their world views are just far too different.
He never liked it when I was dating her, and he doesn't seem to be too
pleased to have to spend a night out here with her. .
(Sylvia and
Lora do laundry in the stream)
.
Sylvia: Lora,
I'm really sorry about the alliance thing, OK?
.
Lora: I don't
want to talk about it.
.
(There's
a long pause)
.
Sylvia: Boy,
Jake sure has a way of getting under your skin, doesn't he?
.
Lora: (distantly)
Yeah, I guess.
.
Sylvia: Yeah...
.
(The two
pause again)
.
Sylvia: But
isn't he just the most socially awkward person you've ever met?
.
Lora: (turns to
Sylvia) Yes!
.
Sylvia: The
way he insults you...
.
Lora: And
then he goes back and tries to... gloss over what he just said.
.
Sylvia: Exactly!
He's nothing like Will.
.
Lora: (laughs) That's
for sure!
.
Sylvia: (Narrating)
At least Jake being here has brought about something good.
I really think that Lora and I were able to bond over our us both not liking
him. Maybe we can actually be friends again. My one goal right
now is to patch up that friendship, and I won't stop until I succeed. .
(Sylvia and
Lora continue to talk about Jake. As the
sun begins
to set, the main group stays by the fire)
.
Amanda: How
are things going at home, Jake? Did Cammie figure out where I've
been?
.
Jake: (nods) We
knew where Will was, and when you disappeared, too, Cammie had a pretty
good idea where you'd gone.
.
Amanda: Clever
girl.
.
Kris: I would
suspect that not much has occurred in the sleepy hamlet of Sherman Oaks.
.
Jake: Nope.
Boring as usual. What time do you people go to bed around here?
.
Kris: Usually
not long after dark.
.
Will: Would
you like to help me gather some firewood before it gets too dark?
.
Jake: (sighs) Yeah,
I guess...
.
(Will and
Jake go off to collect firewood)
.
Will: All
right, here's where the game lies: I'm in an alliance with Kris,
Kevin, and Sylvia, with Amanda and Lora on the outside.
.
Jake: Right.
.
Will: The
next time I lose immunity, Kris will take me down, because he fears me.
.
Jake: (nods) And
well he should.
.
Will: I need
to figure out some way to take out Kris.
.
Jake: You
said you're aligned with Sylvia...
.
Will: Yeah,
but she's really close friends with Kris, too. I don't know if I
can get her to vote for him.
.
Jake: Hmm...
.
(Amanda eavesdrops
from the shadows. She takes this opportunity to approach the brothers)
.
Amanda: Will.
Jake. Can we talk?
.
Will: (looking at
Jake) I guess.
.
Amanda: Have
you given any more thought to my proposition?
.
Jake: (breaking
in) Ooh! What proposition? What proposition?
.
(Will explains
Amanda's proposition to Jake)
.
Will: (Narrating)
Amanda had come to me earlier and asked me to align with her. I wasn't
sure about it, because I didn't think we'd have enough support. Sylvia
doesn't like Amanda and Lora's pretty ticked at me. When Amanda came
back to me, I was ready to turn her down, but Jake had a different idea. .
(Will finishes
explaining the situation to Jake)
.
Jake: Well,
I say that you guys ought to do this. It's the only chance either
of you stand.
.
Will: And
what about Sylvia and Lora?
.
Amanda: I'll
handle them. Just trust me, OK?
.
(Will looks
at Jake, who nods)
.
Will: (reluctantly)
All right...
.
Amanda: (Narrating)
I'm really glad I had Jake in my corner. With him there, Will finally
agreed to the new alliance. It's now up to me to get Lora and Sylvia
on board, so hopefully I can pull that off. For the first time in
days, it's looking like I just might have a chance of making it to the
end. .
(Will and
Jake talk quietly in the darkness)
.
Jake: I want
to see you and Amanda in an alliance, but I also want you to make sure
you're not committing suicide here.
.
Will: Well,
I already committed suicide four days ago when I voted off Mrs. Brennit.
I know I'm playing on borrowed time. I just want to keep it as interesting
as I can while I'm still around.
.
Jake: Well,
this should certainly do that.
.
Jake: (Narrating)
Will jumping ship does concern me, because that's how I got voted
out on my Survivor. Cardinal rule of Survivor is not
to betray your alliance. But the resulting shake-up should really
be worth it. .
Will: (Narrating)
Jake's fears about me jumping sides are really unfounded, I think.
My situation is completely different than his was. I've already done
one major shake-up, and that's what got me into this situation. Doing
it again couldn't possibly make things worse. .
(Jake and
WIll come back into camp. The rest of the tribe is already asleep)
.
Will: All
right. It's bed time. I'll see you in the morning before you
leave.
.
Jake: Yeah.
.
(Will and
Jake take spots in the shelter. Jake lies awake for most of the night,
since he's unaccustomed to sleeping outdoors. The sun rises on a
new morning. Will and Amanda go through their morning exercise regimens.
Jake sits out by the fire and watches them. Kevin shuffles out to
the fire and joins him)
.
Kevin: Hey
buddy.
.
Jake: Morning,
Kevin.
.
Kevin: I was
thinking about our friend last night...
.
Jake: (thinking
hard) Our friend?
.
Kevin: Yup.
I bet he was wanting to come out since the moon's full.
.
Jake: (suddenly
remembering) Oh right, the zombie!
.
Kevin: Yeah...
One of these nights, we'll go to the graveyard and dig him up... probably.
.
Jake: (laughs) Yeah.
.
Jake: (Narrating,
chuckling) The amazing thing about Kevin is his ability to resume a conversation
years after the fact. The whole zombie/Frankenstein thing
was our thing we talked about in high school. The guy never
fails to crack me up. .
Kevin: (Narrating)
Hey buddy. Um, Jake was here for a while, but uh- then he had to
leave. Like when Mary Ellen left. And Brian. And, um,
Becky. Yeah, I guess a lot of people have left... .
(Kevin stares
at something off camera, then gets up and wanders away.
The campsite
is now abuzz with activity as Jake prepares to leave)
.
Jake: Five
minutes.
.
(Jake gathers
up his stuff and heads for a waiting boat. The tribe follows him)
.
Kris: It seems
as though you only just arrived.
.
Sylvia: (to Lora)
Yeah. A week ago.
.
(Lora snickers)
.
Jake: OK.
This is it, I guess.
.
Will: (smiles) Give
me a hug, brother.
.
(Jake gives
Will a big bear hug. They hold the hug for a moment)
.
Jake: (quietly)
Don't get stabbed.
.
Will: I won't.
.
(Jake releases
Will and hops on the boat. The Survivors
watch as
he hops into the boat and speeds away)
.
Sylvia: Glad
that's over.
.
Lora: (laughs) Yeah.
.
Lora: (Narrating)
I am really glad that Jake's gone. And not just because
we don't get along. There were plans being made while he was here,
and I doubt any of them were good for me. .
(Sylvia and
Lora walk into the meadow together)
.
Lora: Hey
look! Wildflowers!
.
Sylvia: I've
never seen those before...
.
Lora: Hey.
Can I make you a necklace?
.
Sylvia: (smiles)
I'd like that.
.
Sylvia: (Narrating)
I really think that Lora and I are friends again. That makes me so
happy. I didn't want to lose a friendship over something as silly
as voting. If there's anything we learned from seeing our families,
it's that people matter the most. .
(Kris strolls
into the meadow and hears the two girls giggling. He approaches
and finds
Lora putting a wreath of flowers around Sylvia's neck)
.
Sylvia: Oh,
it just looks mah-velous.
.
Lora: Why,
thank you.
.
(The two
girls laugh. Kris clears his throat)
.
Sylvia: Oh,
hey, Kris.
.
Kris: Why
so jubilant, girls?
.
Sylvia and Lora:
(in unison) Jake's gone!
.
Kris: (chuckles
softly) Why yes, I suppose he is.
.
Lora: That
was just really weird having him around.
.
Kris: You
sensed that change in the mood, too?
.
Lora: (hesitantly)
Yeah, I guess...
.
Kris: I think
that perhaps plans were being made during Jake's stay.
.
Sylvia: What
kind of plans?
.
Kris: I don't
know. But keep your eyes open, girls. One never knows what
might happen in this game.
.
(Sylvia and
Lora nod)
.
Lora: (Narrating)
Kris and Sylvia told me to keep my eyes open, and I'm going to. I'm
not going to let anyone pull anything over on me again. Seeing my
sister made me remember why I came out here to play. I'm not going
to be a doormat anymore. I will find some way to stay in this
game. .
(Sylvia takes
off with Kris. Lora stays in the meadow.
Suddenly,
Kevin comes running up to Lora)
.
Kevin: (excited)
Hey Lora, wanna see my trick?
.
Lora: (annoyed)
What trick, Kevin?
.
Kevin: (grins) You'll
see.
.
(Kevin takes
a deep breath with his mouth and stares at Lora)
.
Lora: Are
you gonna do it or what?
.
Kevin: I am.
.
(Kevin continues
to stare at Lora)
.
Lora: (exasperated)
Kevin, you're not doing anything!
.
Kevin: I'm,
um, holding my breath.
.
Lora: So?
.
Kevin: I can
do it for a really long time.
.
(Kevin continues
to stand there doing nothing)
.
Lora: You're
still breathing through your nose.
.
(Kevin expels
air from his mouth and breathes in heavy gasps)
.
Kevin: Man!
That was forever!
.
Lora: (sighs) Whatever,
Kevin.
.
(Lora walks
away)
.
Kevin: Next
time, I'm gonna do it for... 20 seconds.
.
(Will and
Amanda go for tree mail)
.
Will: So,
when are we going to make this happen?
.
Amanda: After
the Immunity Challenge, I guess.
.
Will: All
right. Let's see what it is. (reading) So
you're stranded in this land
Of lumberjacks and timber
But no matter what's thrown
You mustn't surrender
.
One by one you will fall
Until just one remains
If you outlast the others
You'll make the endgame
The elimination
game?
.
Amanda: Sounds
like it.
Immunity
Challenge: Axe Elimination
(Close-ups
of a hatchet, a clay pot dangling from a rope, the name "Will"
written on
its side in white paint. The Survivors enter and meet Jeff)
.
Jeff: Come
on in, guys. First things first, hate to do it, gotta take the Immunity
Necklace back.
.
(Will hands
Jeff the necklace)
.
Will: It's
all yours, O Monkey of Mark.
.
Jeff: (Ignoring
Will) Once again Immunity, back up for grabs. OK, today's immunity
challenge will work a little differently. Today you win by eliminating
the others. There are 18 hanging pots. You each have your name
on three of those pots. Those pots represent your immunity.
As long as you have a pot hanging, you're still in the game. When
your pots are gone, so are you.
.
These hatchets are
a traditional part of the Canadian lumber industry. A skilled lumberjack
can split a log with one of these from 50 feet. All you have to do
is break the pots and make 'em fall to the ground. You'll throw one
hatchet per round, and after each round, you'll rotate one spot to the
right. Your goal, to break your opponents' pots before they break
yours. Last one left standing wins immunity.
.
Take your spots,
wait for my go.
.
(The Survivors
line up in front of a large wooden framework. About 10
feet in front
of them, 18 pots dangle from ropes of varying lengths)
.
Jeff: All
right guys. Everybody ready? Take your aim, throw!
.
(On Jeff's
go, the Survivors each toss their hatchets. Will and Amanda both
aim
for one of
Kris's pots, but both miss. Lora chucks her hatchet at one of Sylvia's
pots.
It falls far too short and tumbles pathetically on the ground)
.
Lora: Well
that sucked.
.
(Kevin throws
a hatchet far off to the side of the playing area. Sylvia
tosses her
hatchet at one of Lora's pots. She misses. Kris is the last
to throw,
carefully
aiming at Will's pot. He hits it dead on and it shatters into dust)
.
Jeff: Will
takes the first hit! Nice shot, Kris.
.
(Kris smiles
and nods)
.
Jeff: Everybody
rotate one to your right. (The Survivors do so) Ready, aim,
throw!
.
(Amanda and
Will try for one of Kris's pots and miss. Lora and
Kevin's throws
are nowhere near the mark. Sylvia is dead on, shattering
one of Amanda's
pots, while Kris takes out another one of Will's pots)
.
Jeff: Will,
and Amanda both take hits that round! Will, you're down to one pot,
man.
.
Will: I'm
well aware of that, Jiffy Pop.
.
Jeff: Don't
call me that. Rotate. (They do so) Survivors ready, aim, throw!
.
(Lora, Kevin,
and Sylvia miss. Will misses Kris's pot once again,
but Amanda
nails one. It shatters and crumbles to the ground)
.
Amanda: (quietly)
Yes!
.
(Kris squints
and tosses a hatchet at Will's final pot. He nails it)
.
Jeff: Will!
You're out, man!
.
Will: Yeah,
yeah... I know when I'm not wanted.
.
(Amanda nails
one of Kris's pots. Sylvia and Kevin miss their
marks.
For the first time, Kris fails to connect with his intended target, one
of
Amanda's
pots. Lora reels back and makes her throw. It actually shatters
a pot)
.
Lora: (giddy) Yes!
I hit something!
.
Jeff: (grinning)
Bad news, Lora. That was your own pot.
.
Lora: Aw crap!
.
Jeff: Kris,
you're down to one. Amanda, Lora at two pots, Kevin and Sylvia sittin'
pretty. Go ahead and rotate. (The survivors do so) Survivors ready,
aim, and throw!
.
(Amanda misses
Kris's pot. Lora and Kevin don't have any
luck.
Sylvia reels back and nails one of Amanda's pots)
.
Sylvia: (To Amanda)
How do you like them apples?
.
Amanda: It's
not over yet.
.
(Kris aims
and makes his throw. He shatters Amanda's last remaining pot)
.
Sylvia: (gloating)
Now it is.
.
Jeff: Kris
and Sylvia team up to take Amanda out of the game! Have a seat, Amanda.
.
Amanda: (muttering)
Not good...
.
(Amanda has
a seat beside Will, who simply shrugs. Kevin turns to Lora as they
rotate)
.
Kevin: Hey
Lora. Watch this!
.
Lora: (exasperated)
What, Kevin?
.
Kevin: I bet
I can throw it real far.
.
Jeff: Survivors
ready, aim, fire!
.
(As Lora,
Sylvia, and Kris take their shots, Kevin starts spinning around in a circle.
He releases
his hatchet like a hammer throw. It narrowly misses hitting Jeff)
.
Jeff: (angrily)
Kevin, what are you doin'? Pots are that way, man!
.
Kevin: Oh
yeah...
.
(The other
three miss their shots)
.
Jeff: Misses
all around. (To Kevin, sternly) Don't try to pull something like
that again!
.
Kevin: (pouting)
OK.
.
Jeff: Survivors
ready, aim, fire!
.
(The Survivors
take their shots. Kevin's and Lora's shots go nowhere.
Kris nails
one of Sylvia's pots, while Sylvia takes out one of Lora's pots)
.
Jeff: Lora
and Sylvia both take hits that round. Only one left untouched at
this point is Kevin.
.
(The Survivors
rotate)
.
Jeff: Survivors
ready, aim, fire!
.
(Lora makes
a final desperate throw at one of Kris's pots as Sylvia
takes her
out. Kris winds back and nails one of Sylvia's pots)
.
Jeff: Lora,
that's it. You're outta the game.
.
Lora: Thanks
a lot, guys!
.
(Lora has
a seat beside Amanda)
.
Jeff: Sylvia,
Kris down to one. Kevin still has three. Survivors ready,
aim, fire!
.
(Kris aims
for and misses Sylvia's final pot. Sylvia turns and takes out Kris's
final pot)
.
Sylvia: Whoop!
.
Jeff: Nice
shot, Sylvia! Kris, you're done, buddy.
.
Kris: (To Sylvia)
Well played.
.
Sylvia: I
didn't hear you, because you're in my house!
.
(Kris smiles
and has a seat)
.
Jeff: It's
down to Sylvia and Kevin. Sylvia has only one pot left, Kevin still
has all three. Survivors ready, aim, throw!
.
(Sylvia lines
up her shot and nails one of Kevin's pots. Kevin throws a pitiful
miss)
.
Sylvia: Two
to go, baby!
.
Jeff: Survivors
ready, aim, throw!
.
(Kevin bears
a determined look on his face. He winds his arm around several times
and launches his hatchet straight up into the sky. It falls towards
the bench where the ousted Survivors sit)
.
Will: Incoming!
.
(The Survivors
dive off the bench. The hatchet lands right where Lora was sitting)
.
Jeff: Kevin!
What did I tell you, man?
.
Kevin: If
I eat the brain, I'll win my team immunity.
.
Jeff: (pauses) I
guess I did.
.
(As the commotion
dies down, Sylvia makes her throw. She hits another one of Kevin's
pots)
.
Jeff: Sylvia!
All right, it comes down to this. One good hit by either one of you
could still end this. Survivors ready, aim, throw!
.
(Sylvia and
Kevin make their throws. Kevin misses, Sylvia hits)
.
Jeff: Sylvia!
That's Kevin's final pot! Kev, you're out, man!
.
Kevin: (frustrated)
Man!
.
Jeff: Sylvia
wins immunity! You are safe from tonight's vote. Let's see
how this necklace likes you there.
.
(Jeff puts
the immunity necklace around Sylvia's neck)
.
Sylvia:
Liiiiike a glove!
.
Jeff: Well
earned. You are safe from the vote. You guys can head back
to camp. I'll see you in tomorrow.
.
(Sylvia dances
her way out of the challenge area. Everyone else follows, smiling
and shaking their heads)
Smallwood
.
(Amanda works
on her charts. She has her name written
beside Will's
name. She crosses Will off and circles her own name)
.
Amanda: (Narrating)
This plan of mine is the only way I can win this game. Tribal
Council's approaching fast, so it's imperative that I talk to Lora and
get her to go along with the plan. .
(Amanda finds
Lora resting in the shelter)
.
Amanda: Lora,
we need to talk.
.
Lora: (sighs) All
right. What's up, Amanda?
.
Amanda: I've
figured out a way for us to stay in the game.
.
Lora: (interested)
Really?
.
Amanda: (nods) We'll
take Kris down.
.
Lora: (skeptically)
How do we do that?
.
Amanda: Um,
well... (quietly) Will's agreed to vote with us.
.
Lora: (outraged)
Will!
.
Amanda: (nods) Yeah.
.
Lora: (shrieking)
Does Sylvia know about this?
.
Amanda: Well,
not yet...
.
Lora: She's
going to!
.
(Lora storms
out of the shelter)
.
Amanda: (groans)
Oh no...
.
(Lora finds
Sylvia and Kris out in the meadow gathering chickweed)
.
Lora: I'll
bet you guys like to know about what Amanda and Will are planning to do
to you.
.
Kris: Do tell.
.
(Lora relates
the details of the alliance to Kris and Sylvia)
.
Kris: (Narrating)
According to Lora, Amanda and Will have concocted a plan to get rid of
me. And fortunately for me, it fell completely through. You
see, they'd failed to alert Lora and Sylvia of their machinations beforehand,
and loose cannon that Lora is, she came and alerted Sylvia and myself.
Sylvia was quite upset that she hadn't been informed of this scheme that
was to involve her, and rightfully so. Last I saw, she was going
off to have words with Will. .
Sylvia: I
can't believe he'd do that!
.
(Sylvia walks
off in a huff. She finds Will sitting on a log, studying his Bible)
.
Sylvia: (angrily)
Will !
.
Will: What
up, Sylvae?
.
Sylvia: (angrily)
What's this I hear about you forming an alliance with Amanda?
.
Will: (sighs) Sylvia,
don't get angry...
.
Sylvia: Don't
get angry? When exactly were you planning on telling
me about this?
.
Sylvia: (Narrating)
I am so... mad right now! Will went over with Amanda and made
this whole plan about how he'd switch sides again, and he just expected
me to come with him? That is so arrogant! We made a deal with
Kris and Kevin that we'd take them to the final four, and now he just wants
to change that? I am so angry with him for putting
me into this position! (sighs) I don't know what to do. .
(Wide shot
of Sylvia walking away from Will)
.
Lora: (Narrating)
Well, the whole plot has been put out in the open now, and I hope Will
and Amanda get what's coming to them. I am so sick of people
plotting behind my back and using me to try to get themselves farther in
the game! Tonight, I'm not going to stand for it. One of them
has to go home. .
(The Survivors
pack up their bags and head for Tribal Council)
Tribal
Council # 11
(The Survivors
enter)
.
Jeff: We'll
now bring in our jury. Brian, Melissa, and Dan, who you voted out
last time.
.
(Brian, Melissa,
and Dan enter. Dan has a black eye, no doubt administered by Brian)
.
Jeff: They'll
be gathering information, ultimately that'll help them decide which of
you will be the last one standing. Looking at our jury, would it
be safe to say that they're all victims of an alliance, Kris?
.
Kris: I would
be lying if I said they weren't.
.
Jeff: How
are your alliances holding up? Do you think they can make it for
the long haul?
.
Kris: (shakes his
head) The alliance is finished.
.
Jeff: Interesting.
Will, you created that alliance, didn't you?
.
Will: Yes.
.
Jeff: That's
what's puzzled me. Here, you've got your game plan, seems like a
sure thing, and then you turn on that. What's the benefit of jumping
ship?
.
Will: Logistically,
sometimes you can't ride an alliance all the way to the end. Other
opportunities present themselves, and if you don't exploit them, you're
gone.
.
Jeff: Amanda,
how good would you say you've been at exploiting all your opportunities
in this game?
.
Amanda: I
was running on autopilot for the first half of this game. But now
that it's coming down to the wire, I've realized that I have to take every
chance I can get to stay in the game.
.
Jeff: Lora,
Amanda's just said that she's willing to do anything to stay in this game.
Does that threaten you in any way?
.
Lora: If she
was fighting on my side, it wouldn't. But since we're all playing
for ourselves... Yes, it's very threatening.
.
Jeff: Kevin.
For all the conniving that everyone else is doing, what's keeping you around?
.
Kevin: Um,
I think, no one's voted me out yet.
.
Jeff: Very
true. OK, it's time to vote. Only person you cannot vote for
is Sylvia. Kris, you're up first.
.
(Kris walks
up to the voting confessional and votes for Will)
.
Kris: Your
plan might have succeeded, had you done a better job keeping it under wraps.
I have numbers tonight.
.
(Kevin's
up next, followed by Amanda. She votes for Kris)
.
Amanda: I'm
sticking to the plan, even though I don't think there's any way it'll work
now. I was so close, too!
.
(Lora's up
next, followed by Will. Finally, Sylvia votes.
She puts
her vote in the canister and returns)
.
Jeff: I'll
go tally the votes.
.
(Jeff returns
with the voting canister)
.
Jeff: Once
the votes are read, the decision is final. The person voted out will
be asked to leave the Tribal Council area immediately. First vote:
.
.
Will
.
Kris
.
One vote Will, one
vote Kris.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
Will
.
Kris
.
.
That's two votes
Will, two votes Kris.
.
.
.
.
Will
.
.
.
.
.
.
(Will nods,
seemingly accepting his fate)
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
Look at this,
.
Kris
.
(Will mouths
"Kris?" He turns and looks at Sylvia, who smiles and shrugs)
.
Jeff: For
the second time in Newfoundland, we have a tie. OK, for those of
you who don't know, here's how a tie-breaker works: Will and Kris
will not vote. Everyone else, voting again. I would strongly
suggest that it not come down to a deadlock, because if it does, it'll
come down to what's in this bag. (Jeff pulls a black bag from behind his
seat) Four orange rocks, that's safe, and one yellow rock, which means
you're out of the game. If you can't come to a decision as a group,
everyone's vulnerable.
.
Kris: (quietly)
Game on.
.
Jeff: OK,
before we revote, I'm going to give both of you guys a chance to plead
your case. Why should the tribe keep you around over the other person?
Will?
.
Will: I suppose
it had to come down to this eventually. (turns to Kris) This game's not
big enough for the both of us. I'm not going to tell anyone that
they have to keep me. If you vote me out to avoid the rock,
I completely understand.
.
Jeff: All
right. Kris?
.
Kris: (looking at
Amanda) If anyone were to switch their vote, I would be most appreciative.
I could guarantee that that person would have a spot next to me in the
final two, which I believe would be a desirable position. Do as you
please.
.
Jeff: OK,
we'll have a revote. You will vote for either Will or Kris.
Just a reminder, if we remain deadlocked after this revote, we will
go to the rocks in the bag. Lora, you're first.
.
(Lora votes
again. She votes for Will)
.
Lora: I don't
appreciate all the scheming you're doing behind our backs. I can't
believe I once trusted you! I'm willing to risk going tonight just
to get rid of you.
.
(Kevin's
up next, followed by Amanda. We don't see her vote)
.
Amanda: I'm
doing what I have to do to win this game.
.
(Finally,
Sylvia votes. We don't see it. She puts it in the canister
and returns)
.
Jeff: I'll
read the tie-breaker votes.
.
(Jeff leaves
and returns with the voting canister)
.
Jeff: First
vote:.
.
Will
.
Will
.
Jeff: Two
votes Will.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
Kris
.
Final vote:
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
(Will braces
himself)
.
.
.
.
.
.
Kris
.
(Will looks
back at Sylvia, genuinely touched. Jeff sighs and sits down)
.
Jeff: All
right. Well, it looks like you guys couldn't come to a decision as
a group. That means everyone's vulnerable. It's now out of
your hands. Here's what's gonna happen: Starting with Amanda,
you'll each grab a rock. It's important that you don't look at it.
When I tell you, you'll put your hands in the middle, then open them up.
Here I come.
.
(Jeff gets
up and holds the bag over Amanda's
head.
She reaches up and grabs a rock)
.
Jeff: Orange
is safe, yellow means you're goin' home.
.
(Jeff moves
around the circle with the bag. Will, Lora, Kevin, and
Kris draw
their rocks. Jeff returns to his podium and puts the bag away)
.
Jeff: Put
your hands in the middle. 3, 2, 1, reveal.
.
(The Survivors
open their hands.
Kevin has
the yellow rock)
.
Kris: (shocked)
Kevin?
.
Kevin: That's,
um, yellow.
.
Jeff: Kevin,
grab your torch, man. Bring it over to me.
.
Kevin: Um,
OK, buddy.
.
(Kevin grabs
his torch and approaches Jeff)
.
Jeff: Kevin,
in this case, the rock has spoken. (Snuffs his torch) It's
time for you to go.
.
Kevin: Yeah,
probably....
.
(Kevin just
stands there and stares at Jeff)
.
Jeff: (pointing)
Kevin, I need you to go down that path. They'll tell you what to
do.
.
Kevin: Oh.
OK, buddy.
.
(Kevin starts
down the path. He doesn't acknowledge his former tribemates at all)
.
Jeff: Well,
this has been a very eventful three days. All of you are playing
the game much harder than we've ever seen before, and I think your only
source of relief just took the walk of shame. I have a feeling the
next three days are gonna be all-out war. Go back to camp.
Try to find some peace.
.
(The Survivors
exit)
Kevin's Final Words:
Hey, buddy. Um, they told me to come talk to this camera so um...
here I go. Tonight we were at Tribal Council, and there was a tie.
So um, Jeff told us that we had to pick these rocks out of the bag.
Mrs. Brennit told me that I had to find an orange rock... but my rock was
yellow. And... I wonder how they got the rock to be yellow?
Do you think maybe it was... feldspar? I've never seen feldspar.
All I ever find in my yard is gravel. I think the lawnmower throws
it there when Dad mows over the driveway. Yeah... (Kevin stares off
into space, then wanders away)
