I Dreamed a Dream

**I Dreamed a Dream** is the third episode of *Survivor 41.*

## Story

After Ricard's vote off, Shan spirals tremendously, crying all night and ranting to anyone who will listen about how her game is through. The rest of the tribe is extremely put off by her behavior, agreeing she has to go next, especially if she continues to have a perpetual meltdown about being on the bottom of the tribe. Shan spends plenty of time alone recuperating, considering quitting as the sun rises but telling herself she has to keep fighting. Thus, she stays in the game and reluctantly begins trying to recover her place in the game, although all of her conversations begin very awkwardly.

With no Reward, the castaways have a day of peace at camp, but most of them don't take it calmly. On Yase, Xander and Liana agree it's deep enough into the game where they should form a majority on the tribe before they run the risk of losing. They agree that Tiffany is on the bottom, and that Voce is too close to her. Thus, they pull in Evvie and Abraham who they trust more to form a foursome. Evvie and Abraham are both very enthused about the alliance. However, Voce and Tiffany notice this distinction, becoming resentful of the division. Feeling unsettled, Voce goes out and searches for an advantage. He ends up finding the Yase Hidden Immunity Idol as night falls. On Luvu, things are even wilder. Heather and Erika feel like they are making poor progress at getting off the bottom, so Heather throws out a wild plot. She tells everyone she had a dream where Sydney stole her torch, so she believes her intuition is telling her Sydney is coming for her, and thus Heather is coming for her now. Deshawn and Danny just laugh, baffled at this story, but Sydney is furious, yelling at Heather to just come for her openly and not hide behind a stupid dream. This leaves a sour mood at camp, with Sydney pissed off all night, and Erika and Heather hoping to work her outburst against her.

At the Immunity Challenge, Yase and Ua pull out the win, with Luvu falling behind due to Heather's challenge weakness and Sydney's bickering over how to stack the balls. Sydney feels secure in her alliance with Danny and Deshawn, thinking they have her back and that it will be an easy vote for Heather as the weakest link. However, Erika and Heather push hard to get Sydney out of the game, telling Danny and Deshawn that the swap is coming soon, so challenge strength isn't the most important. They argue the two of them will be more loyal and level-headed, while Sydney is a firecracker. Danny and Deshawn acknowledge Sydney's hotheadedness as a flaw, but in the end, their alliance with her is too strong. At Tribal Council, Heather makes a final passionate plea, speaking about her children and her desire to continue in the game, but it is not enough and she is voted out 3-2.

## Challenges

**Immunity Challenge:** *Wooden Ships*

The tribes will swim out to a boat. Once the entire tribe is on board their boat, one person at a time will dive down to retrieve paddles. Once they have all four paddles, they will race to shore, where they will convert their boat to a cart by attaching four wheels. They will then push their boat to the top of the beach. Once at the top, they will have to test their dexterity by stacking balls while standing on a wobbly beam. The first two tribes to finish win Immunity.

**Winner:** Yase and Ua
