Socotra ep 10

is the tenth episode of Survivor: Socotra.
== Summary ==
=== Harb ===
The final six players arrive back at camp. Shorty isn't in a good mood and asks Ocean why he decided to flip as they arrive at camp. Ocean glares at Shorty and asks if they could talk about it the next day. Shorty would like an answer now because he didn't expect him to just betray them like that. Ocean apologizes and says that he had no other choice since he formed an alliance with the girls. Shorty raises an eyebrow and says that it's unbelievable that he just traded his original allies for the girls that he just met a few days ago. Ocean says he understands his reaction but he wants to end the conversation so he can get some sleep. Shorty wishes him goodnight because Shorty won't get any sleep himself tonight as he's super annoyed.
 	"Even though I'm shocked that this happened, it's not extremely surprising ... I guess? I'm just pissed at Ocean for doing this without even informing us about it. He just made a deal with the girls and boom, a big middle-finger to Onno and myself. I know that if Dustin wins immunity, I'll be next in line to go if he sold his game to the females. That's just how it is. But even if I go, justice will ultimately segerate."

That's just how it is. But even if I go, justice will ultimately segerate."
 	"I get that Shorty is upset with me but I had to do this. We've been loyal for a super long time but if the time came where Shorty and Onno had to make a decision about whether to keep each other or me, they'd choose for each other. I just made the move before they could. If that's bad in their eyes then I'm sorry not sorry."

We've been loyal for a super long time but if the time came where Shorty and Onno had to make a decision about whether to keep each other or me, they'd choose for each other. I just made the move before they could. If that's bad in their eyes then I'm sorry not sorry."
Savera, June and Honey are laying on the beach the following day as June tells the two girls that they might have just booked themselves a final three spot. Savera sits up and says that with Ocean, they make it to the final four. June nods, however, when they make the final four they'll just get rid off Ocean and then it's an all-female final three. Savera blushes when she thinks about voting for Ocean eventually. Honey then takes off her clothes and says that she once saw people skinny-dipping on Survivor so she wants to do that too. She yells out of excitement and runs into the sea, naked while June and Savera look surprised.
 	"Things are looking so good for us now! Which is odd because I've always felt like I could go home any minute during this game. I was meant to be the first person voted out after all so to still be here feels very surreal. Anyways, I'll keep it short - I know I talk a lot - but yeah, it just feels amazing to be still in this game alongside my two favorite girls. I've grown to them."
JUNE	"Things are looking so good for us now! Which is odd because I've always felt like I could go home any minute during this game. I was meant to be the first person voted out after all so to still be here feels very surreal. Anyways, I'll keep it short - I know I talk a lot - but yeah, it just feels amazing to be still in this game alongside my two favorite girls. I've grown to them."
 	"I felt connected to mother nature. Back at home I'd hug some trees or lay in the grass to feel connected to our earth. They say it satisfies your soul. I just remember getting a sting from a wasp when I was laying in the grass. I hate insects. I've seen so many insects in here. I only like them when I have to feed them to my baby Albert."
HONEY	"I felt connected to mother nature. Back at home I'd hug some trees or lay in the grass to feel connected to our earth. They say it satisfies your soul. I just remember getting a sting from a wasp when I was laying in the grass. I hate insects. I've seen so many insects in here. I only like them when I have to feed them to my baby Albert."
 	"I don't want to think about voting for Ocean. We're at the final six so the time is coming where I have to vote for people I care for whether it's Ocean or one of the girls."
SAVERA	"I don't want to think about voting for Ocean. We're at the final six so the time is coming where I have to vote for people I care for whether it's Ocean or one of the girls."
Shorty is laying in the shelter, feeling extremely tired due to getting barely no sleep this entire night. Dustin returns from his work-out and decides to lay in the shelter to get some rest. He looks at Shorty and tells him that he was backstabbed pretty badly by Ocean. Shorty says that he doesn't appreciate his move at all and he wants to get revenge. Dustin shrugs and says that if he needs a vote, he'll be there for him. Shorty thanks him for that.
 	"I really went from dominating this game alongside my friends to working with Dustin." (glares) "This game ... seriously. I should say ... these people. Alright, I won't complain. This is what I signed up for. And I do like a challenge here and there. If Ocean wants to play like this, then he's got a big storm coming his way. I might be a oompa loompa but I fight like a pitbull!"

I might be a oompa loompa but I fight like a pitbull!"
 	"This is what I'm talking about. I want people to come to me and get me to vote with them. Now that Shorty is trying to get me on his side, it's time for him to show me that I'm his master. Not now already but after the challenge I'll demand him to cook some rice for me, rub my legs and shoulders, get water for me and spy on the others for me. It sounds crucial but they need to know who the boss is."
DUSTIN	"This is what I'm talking about. I want people to come to me and get me to vote with them. Now that Shorty is trying to get me on his side, it's time for him to show me that I'm his master. Not now already but after the challenge I'll demand him to cook some rice for me, rub my legs and shoulders, get water for me and spy on the others for me. It sounds crucial but they need to know who the boss is."
Ocean and Savera meet up in the woods to talk about last tribal council. Savera tells Ocean that it means a lot that he saved her from getting eliminated. Ocean tells Savera that they really bonded on a personal level and he wants to continue their friendship. Whatever happens, he'll stick with her. Savera takes a deep breath and says that she'll do so to. If the time comes where she has to betray June and Honey to save Ocean, she will do that. Ocean appreciates that.
 	"Oh gosh, I've said it out loud to Ocean. Now there's no way back again. I've chosen to officially side with him over the others. I feel so nasty. June and Honey took care of me when I needed people and they never turned their back on me. And now I'm doing it to them. The positive part about this is that I've gained so much self-confidence to make this decision. I would've never dared to do this one month ago."

The positive part about this is that I've gained so much self-confidence to make this decision. I would've never dared to do this one month ago."
 	"So sacrificing Onno has worked out almost perfectly. I wish Shorty would've calmed down a bit but at least Savera is breaking with her alliance as soon as she has to, which means I could potentially reach the end and win this thing!"

=== Challenge + Twist ===
HARB
Dustin, Honey, June, Ocean, Savera and Shorty arrive at the challenge as Jeff welcomes them. Before he goes on to explain the challenge, the last bomb of this game has dropped as the final twist will be announced now. In the upcoming challenge, four players will win individual immunity as the two who perform the worst will be up for elimination. Once the challenge is done, the players will head to tribal council immediately instead of going back to camp first. There, the six players are only able to vote for one of the two non-immune players, with the one receiving the most votes going home.
 	"OHHH HELL! Can they stop throwing bombs at us. Look at us we're all sweet and beautiful. Except for Dustin because he's a rat." (heavily laughs) "Oh I talked bad about someone ... and that after skinny-dipping to bond with mother nature. It's going downhill for me."
HONEY	"OHHH HELL! Can they stop throwing bombs at us. Look at us we're all sweet and beautiful. Except for Dustin because he's a rat." (heavily laughs) "Oh I talked bad about someone ... and that after skinny-dipping to bond with mother nature. It's going downhill for me."
Jeff then explains the challenge. Today they'll be playing Disgusting Dish. There will be six rounds where disgusting or gross food will be served. The challenge continues until two players can't finish their dish. So it's up to how long everyone manages to keep going on. The six players look at each other as Savera starts to panic while Ocean and Shorty close their eyes. Honey looks a bit excited while June and Dustin look ready.
 	"The disgusting food challenge ... ugh. If I want to stay in this game, I can not fail. I have to keep eating and just make sure two people drop out before I do."
SHORTY	"The disgusting food challenge ... ugh. If I want to stay in this game, I can not fail. I have to keep eating and just make sure two people drop out before I do."
They start with Water Beetles! Honey grabs them and eats them, finishing immediately. Dustin, June and Shorty do so as well. Ocean is shaking a bit as he's having trouble eating it. Savera has issues as well but they both manage to finish it. The next one are mangrove worms. It seems like Honey has no problem eating them again, even saying she likes them. Dustin, Aziah and Shorty finish as well. Savera is shaking as she starts to eat, finishing them too. Ocean is having trouble eating them but finishes them as well. Dustin looks around him.
 	"Dang, I thought these pussys would've quit during round one already. I know I won't lose anyways because I eat everything. Literally everything."
DUSTIN	"Dang, I thought these pussys would've quit during round one already. I know I won't lose anyways because I eat everything. Literally everything."
The next one is fish eyes. Savera and Ocean both look sick. Dustin and Shorty eat it with Shorty almost vomitting. June takes a deep sigh and eats it as well as Honey eats it as well. Ocean has tears in his eyes as he finishes it, followed by Savera. Savera is heavily crying as she gets comforted by June. Jeff asks if Savera's doing okay, having her nodding.
 	"This has been the worst day of my entire life. All this food is so gross. Those fish eyes ... they tasted ... I can't even start about it."
SAVERA	"This has been the worst day of my entire life. All this food is so gross. Those fish eyes ... they tasted ... I can't even start about it."
They then get chicken bones. Despite some of the players having issues with eating, they once again pass. The next dish then is shown as it's an dead tarantula. This has big impact on the players as June asks if they're for real. Dustin grabs it and eats it, same for Honey and later Shorty. Savera is shaking again and says she can't do it. June looks at her and suggests to eat it together. They both grab the dead spider and eat it. Savera swallows it and then almost throws up as she starts crying again. Ocean looks at the spider and shakes his head, also starting to cry as he's not being able to eat it. Jeff announces that Ocean is out of the game and is up for elimination.
 	"I just simply couldn't do it. The thought of eating a spider ... nah. I wouldn't survive that. And even if I'd eat it and die then I wouldn't have won this game still so yeah. I'll take the risk. I got my idol with me anyways."
OCEAN	"I just simply couldn't do it. The thought of eating a spider ... nah. I wouldn't survive that. And even if I'd eat it and die then I wouldn't have won this game still so yeah. I'll take the risk. I got my idol with me anyways."
The next dish is ... cow blood. Honey, who had no trouble before, looks sick and starts to almost faint. Dustin, Shorty and June drink the blood, almost throwing up. Honey is sitting on the ground as she's feeling a bit light-headed. Savera knows that if she drinks the blood, and Honey won't, she will be safe. She grabs the glass and drinks it in one-go, almost throwing up as well. Honey tells Jeff that she won't drink blood. She just can't. Jeff then announces that Honey is also up for elimination which means June, Savera, Dustin and Shorty are all safe.
 	"Eating insects, even though I hate them, wasn't a big thing for me. But drinking blood from a cow - no. A BIG NO! I can't do that. So yeah, I'm a loser and I f***ed it up!"
HONEY	"Eating insects, even though I hate them, wasn't a big thing for me. But drinking blood from a cow - no. A BIG NO! I can't do that. So yeah, I'm a loser and I f***ed it up!"
Jeff then tells the final six that he'll meet them at tribal council in around a hour. He leaves the beach as the final six start to enter the boat. Ocean and Savera share a quick gaze as Savera's starting to panic. She has to decide to vote for either Honey or Ocean tonight ... a decision she thought she didn't have to make already. While Savera feels bad, June feels rather calm.
 	"This is the best case scenario. We're forced to vote for Ocean now so Ocean and Savera can't continue their little sneaky friendship they have. Yes, I can be evil too! I know that they're super close. So having us three plus Shorty voting Ocean is perfect."
JUNE	"This is the best case scenario. We're forced to vote for Ocean now so Ocean and Savera can't continue their little sneaky friendship they have. Yes, I can be evil too! I know that they're super close. So having us three plus Shorty voting Ocean is perfect."
 	"Oh my gosh ... what do I need to do? I gave my word to Ocean but I also am working with Honey and June. This is the worst case scenario. I am having a panic attack right now."
SAVERA	"Oh my gosh ... what do I need to do? I gave my word to Ocean but I also am working with Honey and June. This is the worst case scenario. I am having a panic attack right now."
=== Tribal Council ===
Dustin, Honey, June, Ocean, Savera and Shorty arrive at tribal council.
The jury arrives, which consists of Zaid, Aziah and Onno, voted out from the last tribal council.
Jeff welcomes the group and informs the jury about the twist. Jeff asks Honey and Ocean both how they feel about being vulnerable for the vote tonight. Honey answers she's really nervous and hopes that skinny-dipping today helped her surviving tonight. The jury has some mixed reactions to that. Ocean then answers that he sticked to his principes by not eating something he know he'd literally die for so he had to take the risk. Finally, Jeff asks Savera how things work out for the vote now they can only vote for either Honey or Ocean. Savera answers that some plans were made and they're out the door now so it'll be hard to make a decision. June notices that Savera's shaking and having tears in her eyes.
The players vote. Before Jeff can read the votes, Ocean asks if idols are in play this round. Jeff says they are, which causes Ocean to walk to him and hand him over the Harb idol. Jeff reveals that this is a real hidden immunity idol. Honey blushes and then realizes that she got an idol as well. She quickly stands up and hands over her Muqatilin idol to Jeff, as he looks overwhelmed since this is a real idol as well.
For the first time in Survivor history, everyone's ineligible to vote for. Jeff says that they have never discussed such incident and therefore has to come up with a temporarily solution. Because everyone won immunity fair and square, same for Honey and Ocean who found their idols fairly, the only option is to draw rocks. All six of them will draw rocks. Jeff also states that there's no need to read the votes since none of them count anyways.
Some reactions are visible. Dustin looks seriously annoyed, Shorty closes his eyes, June and Savera look towards each other, Honey is scratching her head and Ocean is tapping with his fingers on his leg. Jeff says that even though this may come as a surprise to everyone, this is the most fair option. All six players agree on that.
The players then draw rocks ...
DUSTIN draws a WHITE rock.
OCEAN draws a WHITE rock.
JUNE draws a WHITE rock.
SAVERA draws a WHITE rock.
HONEY draws a WHITE rock.
SHORTY draws a BLACK rock.
Shorty has drawn the black rock which means he's eliminated from the game. Shorty grabs his torch and gets it snuffed. He says that out of any way he could get eliminated, this was one he didn't expect at all. For the love of the game, he's happy to go out this way. He wishes all of the remaining players goodluck and warns June and Honey for the duo of Savera and Ocean.

DUSTIN	(votes Ocean) "You're one hell of a sneaky fella and I decided to work with Shorty so he can serve me as his master. I think that's more than fair after all the shit y'all brought me into."

SAVERA	(votes Honey) "Thank you so much for all the sweet words you told me, for everything you've done for me and most important ... for being my friend. I admire you and I love you. I'm so sorry Honey."
=== Final Words ===
 	"So even after drinking cow blood, eating spiders and almost choking on beetles, I still get eliminated from the game. I mean, if there's a award for most robbed player then I'm welcoming that award with open arms. I knew I'd get voted off eventually. I wasn't close with Dustin, Ocean had it out for me and the girls are obviously following Ocean here so I was going soon anyways. So this kinda feels like a gift. Who gets eliminated like this?!?! But next time I'm playing I'll definitely win, there's no denying to that. Hehe!" (laughs)
