My Million Dollar Mistake

**My Million Dollar Mistake** is the ninth episode of *Survivor: Guam**.*

## Previously on Survivor

Skyla, Alexis, Brick and Kyle pulled off a massive move, sending Wilbur home and leaving everybody else blindsided. The others did not like being left out, so they formed a counter alliance. At the Survivor Auction, Natasha bought an idol clue, which she could share. Not wanting the target on her back, she took up the offer. When they arrived back at camp, Alexis found it. After Brick won immunity, it seemed the plan was set for Kyle to go. However, at Tribal Council, Chase flipped, sending Macy to the Jury with an idol in her pocket. 8 are left, who will be voted out tonight?

## Challenges

**Reward Challenge:** Roll With It
One castaway from each team will be strapped into a wooden, spherical ball. Two blindfolded teammates will roll the ball, taking directions from the person inside. Once they arrive at the next section, the person inside the cage will guide the other 3 teammates (blindfolded) through a table maze. The first team to finish the maze wins reward.
**Reward:**Trip to a Chamorro Village

**Immunity Challenge:** Balancing Point
With only one hand, the castaways will balance a sword on a shield. With their other hand, they will stack different sized coins on the handle. If their coins fall, they will be eliminated from the challenge. The last person standing wins immunity.

## Story

### Night 24

The Alitana tribe returns to camp after Macy was voted out. They lean their torches against a tree and tend to the fire. Others sit down by the shelter. Once again, nobody speaks for a while.

**Abbey:** Wow, good job guys. I did not see that coming.
**Natasha:** Mhmm. I agree.
**Chase:** I'm sorry I flipped. I just think it works for my strategy.
**James:** Yeah, that's understandable. I'm just annoyed because I'm on the bottom. Again.
**Brick:** Did anybody know about Macy's idol?
**Kyle:** No, I had no idea.
**James:** Neither did I.
**Natasha:** I guess she just didn't tell anybody.
**Alexis:** I guess so. Well, I'm going to bed.
**Skyla:** Same, thank you so much for joining us, Chase.

With that, everybody starts going to sleep. There aren't any arguments like there was after the previous Tribal, so everybody got a peaceful night sleep.

### Day 25

The tribe starts cooking breakfast. Rice and fish. After it's cooked, they sit down and eat. While doing so, they share some experiences they've been through.

**Natasha:** On my YouTube channel, when I first started, I got so many hate comments.
**James:** Wait, why?
**Natasha:** Well, at the time I was 16, so my high pitched voice. Also, people didn't like my hair.
**Skyla:** I think your hair is beautiful.
**Natasha:** Thanks. Anybody else want to share?
**Brick:** Okay, I'll go. When I was younger, maybe around 18, my mother got very sick.
**Kyle:** Like, how sick?
**Brick:** It was life-threatening. I was still living on the farm at the time, so I had to take her of her parts as well as mine. It was tough, but we got through it and she got better. It made me who I am today.
**Alexis:** Wow, that's rough.
**Brick:** Yeah. It wasn't easy. Anyways, should we do something?
**Abbey:** Like an activity as a tribe?
**Brick:** Yeah.
**Abbey:** Well, we don't have anything on today in terms of challenges, so I don't see why we not.
**Skyla:** I have an idea. I'm obviously a musician, so I can teach you how to make instruments out of coconuts and spare fishing line. Should we do that?
**Alexis:** That sounds like fun!

Following Chase's confessional, the Alitana tribe collect some coconuts and then break them in half while Skyla attaches some fishing line to them. She makes a banjo/ukulele type instrument. Alexis, Chase, James, Natasha and Kyle take these. Abbey and Brick take two halves and make drums. They get some sticks and use them as drumsticks. Skyla teaches them how to play and soon enough, they're all playing. Skyla then grabs a drum and plays along. They decide to call themselves the 'Survivor Band'. After a while, they pack up and start laughing.

After the tribe finish packing up, the game is back on. The alliances group up and discuss their strategies. Natasha, Abbey and James walk to the well, while Brick, Alexis, Chase, Skyla and Kyle stay at camp. Once the minority get far enough away from the others, they start talking.

**Natasha:** So...
**Abbey:** Well, what should we do?
**James:** There isn't much we can do. We just need to hope a miracle happens.
**Natasha:** Well, we need to at least try something. Who would be most likely to flip to our side?
**Abbey:** Probably Chase. He was on our side before Tribal.
**James:** And Skyla. The other three are tight. I don't see Alexis, Brick and Kyle turning on each other anytime soon.
**Natasha:** Okay. When we get an opportunity we need to talk to them.
**Abbey:** Yeah, I agree. So, who are we gonna target at Tribal?
**James:** The most threatening type of player is social players, so if Alexis loses immunity I say we vote for her.
**Natasha:** And then Brick, if she wins.
**Abbey:** Okay, I'm good with that.

On the other side of the camp, Alexis, Skyla, Brick, Chase and Kyle talk about their plan.

**Brick:** I say the two we need out are Abbey and James.
**Skyla:** I agree. Natasha is a goat, so it would be dumb to vote her out.
**Chase:** I think that's a fair statement.
**Kyle:** So, who do we vote for first? Abbey or James.
**Brick:** Probably Abbey. She's the only person that could go on an immunity run from the other alliance.
**Alexis:** Okay. So we vote for Abbey if she loses immunity, but James if she wins?
**Brick:** I think so.
**Alexis:** Alright.
**Chase:** There's one thing though.
**Skyla:** What's that?
**Chase:** What about the idol? What if one of them have it?
**Kyle:** Uh...
**Alexis:** Yeah, well... I have it.
**Chase:** No way!
**Alexis:** Yes way!

### Day 26

The tribe wakes up and collects tree mail. It tells them that they will be competing in a reward challenge. They collect their belonging and head to the challenge. When they arrive, they meet Jeff. He smiles at them.

**Jeff:** For today's challenge, one person from each team will be strapped into a wooden ball. Two blindfolded teammates will roll the ball, taking directions from the person inside. Once they arrive at the next section, the person inside the cage will guide the other 3 teammates, who will still be blindfolded, through a table maze. The first team to finish the maze wins reward. Want to know what you're playing for?
**Everybody:** Yes!!
**Jeff:** The winning team will win a trip to a local, Chamorro village. You will be given food and they will perform traditional dances for you. We will be doing a schoolyard pick to determine the teams. Let's draw for team captains.

Natasha and Alexis are captains. They play a round of paper, scissors, rock and Alexis wins, meaning she picks first.

**Alexis:** I choose Brick.
**Natasha:** Abbey.
**Alexis:** Kyle.
**Natasha:** Hmm... Skyla.
**Alexis:** James.
**Natasha:** That leaves me with Chase.

The teams get ready. Alexis steps into the ball for the blue team, while Skyla gets into the ball for the red team. Brick and Kyle push Alexis, while she directs them. For the other team, Abbey and Chase push while Skyla directs them. Both teams are neck and neck, however, when Brick and Kyle push Alexis into a tree, Abbey and Chase manage to get to the other side first. Skyla begins to give instructions to her team so they can complete the triangular table maze. Just as she starts, the other team catches up. It's a close battle, but Alexis' effective communication wins the reward for her team.

**Jeff:** Alexis, Brick, Kyle and James win reward!

They celebrate and congratulate each other.

When they arrive at the village, they are greeted by the chief, Gamomo. He shows them around before leading them into the main building. When they enter, they're greeted by a large table filled with food. Meat, vegetables, nuts, fruits and much more. They take some and sit down. The villagers then come out in traditional Chamorro outfits and perform a dance. The castaways seem to be enjoying it. After a while, the dances end, and they start heading back to camp.

On the other side of the island, Natasha, Chase, Skyla and Abbey walk back to camp. They sit down and cook some rice. They try to cheer each other up because everybody is disappointed they lost the challenge. After a while, Abbey and Natasha start trying to convince the others to flip.

**Natasha:** You should probably join our side. I'm just saying.
**Skyla:** Why would we do that?
**Abbey:** Do you really think you could beat Brick, Alexis and even Kyle at the end?
**Chase:** No, that's why we're using them as shields.
**Natasha:** F\*\*\* the shield strategy! We're getting towards the end of the game! We need to get them out now!
**Skyla:** Nat, we can have different thoughts.
**Abbey:** She's not saying you can't. But to have a better chance to win we need to get Brick, Alexis and Kyle voted out. As soon as possible.
**Chase:** I just flipped. If I flipped again everybody would hate me.
**Abbey:** I wouldn't.
**Natasha:** I wouldn't either.
**Chase:** I mean...
**Skyla:** Girls, look. I know you're in the minority, and that sucks. But we have connections on the opposing side. That's just how this game works.
**Abbey:** Okay, just think about this: If 'Lexis, Brick or Kyle get to the end, it's an easy win.
**Natasha:** Exactly. They're playing the game hard, and well.

### Day 27

The Alitana tribe wake up on day 27, ready for their next immunity challenge. They receive tree mail and walk to the challenge. Jeff tells them that in order to win immunity, they must balance different sized coins on the handle of a sword. Once you drop the coins, you're eliminated. The castaways draw for spots and get started.

They stack 2 small coins, 6 medium coins and 3 big coins before Kyle drops out. This surprises everybody, as they thought he would go further. Alexis drops next, along with Natasha. They stack more coins until they get to 32 small coins, 19 medium coins, and 10 big coins. At that point, Skyla drops out. Not long afterwards, Chase's coins fall, leaving Brick, Abbey and James left in the challenge. 41 small coins, 30 medium coins and 30 big coins get stacked before Abbey drops, leaving Brick and James as the final 2. They go for a while, but out of nowhere Brick drops his coins.

**Jeff:** James wins immunity! A guaranteed 1 in 7 shot of winning this game!

James steps down and hugs Brick. Jeff puts the necklace around James' neck and he smiles. They then walk back to camp.

They arrive back at camp, and everybody congratulates James on his win. It doesn't take long for the alliances to form groups - as per usual. Brick's alliance starts talking first.

**Brick:** Just confirming, we're going for Abbey, right?
**Alexis:** Of course.
**Skyla:** As far as I know, Abbey's going home tonight.
**Kyle:** I wonder who they're voting.
**Alexis:** Probably me or Brick.
**Kyle:** I guess we'll see.

On the other side of the camp, in the forest, the minority start talking about their plan.

**Abbey:** Congrats, James on winning!
**Natasha:** Yeah! Oh my god, you slayed that challenge.
**James:** Thanks. So, we're voting for 'Lexis, right?
**Abbey:** Yup.

The alliances break, and everybody returns to the shelter. After about an hour, Alexis and Skyla walk to the well to refill their canteens. While walking, Alexis brings up an idea.

**Alexis:** Okay, hear me out.
**Skyla:** Mhmm...
**Alexis:** I think we could blindside Brick tonight.
**Skyla:** Brick?
**Alexis:** Yeah. He would never see it coming.
**Skyla:** I thought you guys were close.
**Alexis:** Yeah, we are. But to be honest, I feel closer with you at the moment, and he could go on an immunity run.
**Skyla:** I mean, I'm on board.
**Alexis:** I think Abbey, James and Natasha would vote with us because they're desperate.
**Skyla:** I also think Chase would go with the flow. The only person I'm worried about is Kyle.
**Alexis:** I'll talk to him later and see what he says.

The girls then walk back to camp. Alexis subtly pulls the minority alliance aside, into the forest. She explains the plan about blindsiding Brick to them. They seem fine with it because they don't have any other options. When James asks who else is voting with them, Alexis tells them Skyla is onboard, and that's the majority. However, she may tell Chase and Kyle about it. Abbey, James and Natasha agree to the plan and go back to the shelter.

Kyle is next on Alexis' list, so she takes him along the beach and reveals the plan.

**Alexis:** Okay... please don't be mad.
**Kyle:** Alexis, what have you done?
**Alexis:** The votes are going to Brick tonight.
**Kyle:** Wait, what do you mean?
**Alexis:** I had an idea that we could vote Brick out. He's strong, likeable, and this could be our only opportunity to get him out.
**Kyle:** Why would we though? We have an alliance!
**Alexis:** He's a threat and we would still have the majority.
**Kyle:** It's a dumb move.
**Alexis:** Kyle, you need to realise that he has to go.
**Kyle:** Who is voting for him tonight?
**Alexis:** Me, Skyla, Abbey, James and Nat.
**Kyle:** I mean, if the votes are going that way, I'll vote for him. I still think it's a bad move though.

Kyle then walks back to camp. Alexis has a feeling he would tell Brick, so she stays with him and tells Skyla to talk to Chase, so she does.

**Skyla:** We're voting for Brick tonight.
**Chase:** What? Since when?
**Skyla:** Alexis wants to do it. Everybody is on board.
**Chase:** I don't really want to do it, but if that's where the votes are going...

After Skyla and Alexis tell everybody about the plan, Brick wants to talk to Alexis, so they walk into the forest.

**Brick:** I want to tell you something.
**Alexis:** What?
**Brick:** I have an advantage.
**Alexis:** An idol?
**Brick:** No, basically I can use it before Tribal starts. I will go back to camp. I won't have a vote, but I will be safe.
**Alexis:** uh... Wow. That's awesome!
**Brick:** Yeah. Don't tell anybody about it though. You're the only one that knows.
**Alexis:** Okay, I won't.

After this conversation, Alexis calls the whole tribe (excluding Brick) for a chat. She tells them that he has an advantage, so they need to keep the blindside on the down-low. Everybody agrees. They split apart and do their own thing. Skyla, Chase and Brick go for a walk, Kyle, Abbey and James tend to the fire, while Alexis and Natasha go swimming. They get to know each other a little bit more. Eventually, they're joking around and having fun.

The tribe then comes back for Tribal. Alexis and Natasha dry themselves off, while the others pack their stuff. Once they're all ready, they grab their torches and head out.

### Tribal Council

The tribe arrives at Tribal Council and take a seat. They turn to Jeff who calls for the Jury.

**Jeff:** Now introducing the members of our jury. Wilbur, and Macy, voted out of the last Tribal Council.

For the first few minutes of Tribal Council, Jeff asks about life at camp and alliances. However, only a few people are listening. Most people have their eyes on Brick, wanting to see if he would use his advantage. When it becomes clear he is not using it, their attention goes back to Jeff. He asks who feels in trouble. Abbey and Natasha raise their hands because they are the only people on the "minority" alliance without immunity. Jeff then tells them it's time to vote. James is up first, then Chase and Skyla. Alexis then stands up to cast her vote.

A few more people cast their votes before Brick stands up. He walks over and casts his vote for Abbey.

Jeff then walks up and collects the votes. When he returns, he asks if anybody wants to play an immunity idol. When nobody does, he reads the votes.

First Vote: Abbey (1)

Brick (1-1)

Brick (2-1)

Brick (3-1)

Brick (4-1)

Brick looks extremely confused when the fourth vote cast against him was read.

Eighth Person Voted Out Of Survivor: Guam...

**BRICK**

Alexis jumps up and hugs Brick.

**Alexis:** I'm sorry, I'm so sorry.
**Brick:** Don't worry about it. You have to win this game for me.

Brick walks over and grabs his torch. Jeff then snuffs it and he walks off.

**Abbey:** Bye Brick.
**Kyle:** Good game.

Jeff dismisses the tribe and then walk back to camp after the third blindside in a row.
