Unspoken Agreement

**Unspoken Agreement** is the third episode of *Survivor 1 (US)*.

## Story

 The Fiefia tribe returned to camp after Tribal Council. Boston thanked everyone for being honest and keeping him around. Kit said there was no need to thank him and that there was never any doubt that they’d be voting Martha out. Lamar headed off with Madi and noted how demanding Kit had been at tribal and that she was starting to rub him the wrong way. Madi put out the flames and said that Kit was just surprised because it was very sudden. Boston and Spenser set up for bed and talked about how scary it was to actually step foot in tribal. Boston expressed how it was so much more intense in person than on TV. Fiefia went to bed in their shelter knowing they would get to sleep in without Martha’s routine wake up calls.

 The next morning at the Loto tribe, DJ, Freddie and Paloma got up early to start fire. Freddie rambled about how crazy it was to meet Jeff and that he was so excited to be here. Paloma was visibly getting very annoyed with him and whenever he’d look away, she’d make faces to DJ. Freddie begins recounting a childhood story when Paloma rolls her eyes and gets up. She makes up an excuse and said she was going to find some fruit. Once she’s gone, DJ listens to Freddie’s story actively. Freddie talked to DJ about when he came out as gay to his family. DJ asked if they were receptive and Freddie looked down and shook his head. He explained that his community was very closed-minded and that his parents were ashamed of him and how he didn’t conform to the mold of their peers. DJ offers Freddie a hug and said that he’s unique and that’s what makes him special. He opens up to Freddie about how one of his daughters was trans and that at first, it was hard for him to process but that he eventually kicked himself for ever doubting her. DJ explains how he continues to fund all of her operations and is so supportive of her and her journey. Freddie tells DJ how incredible that is and that more trans youth deserve parents like him. Freddie teared up and hugged DJ, thanking him for the talk.

 At the Tau tribe, Gloria and Owen snuck off before anyone else woke up. They had decided to retrieve some firewood. On the way, they opened up to each other about their childhoods. Owen said he was very much a momma’s boy and always grew up a little bit sensitive. Gloria laughed and said she’d never expect that from him. The two started grabbing firewood and Owen asked Gloria about her childhood. She said it was basic and nothing too noteworthy happened in it. Owen laughed and said that the other three probably woke up and thought they were making out or something. Gloria cocked her eyebrow and suggested that if everyone else thinks they are, why don’t they just do it. Owen smirks and the two start kissing. Back at camp, Sage, Yun and Trina had woke up and realized Gloria and Owen were missing. Yun rolled her eyes and said that “they knew what those two were off doing”. Sage and Trina laugh. Sage says that it might be too early to declare anything but that they would love to go all the way with Trina and Yun. The other two agree and say that they should look out for one another.

 The tribes joined Jeff on the beach for the Reward Challenge. Jeff explained that they’d be competing for a coffee making set, as well as the ability to select which player from each tribe would go to a summit, much like the one Freddie, Madi, and Rocky went on during the first week. Loto had to sit one player out and chose Marissa. The challenge was very physical and involved all five players participating at once for each aspect. The teams began the challenge and insrtantly, Fiefia had a major lead. Boston and Kit in particular really carried their team through the physical elements and gave them a massive lead. Before the other two tribes even finished the third obstacle, Fiefia had been declared the winner and won the reward. Jeff told them that their coffee making kit would be waiting for them at camp but asked for them to decide who from each tribe would be attending the summit. Fiefia discussed and Boston asked if anyone volunteered to go on the venture. Kit and Lamar both said they wanted to go. Kit pushed and said she felt she should go because she was better in the challenge. Lamar contested this but they took a vote and everyone felt Kit earned her spot. She smirked and told Jeff that she’d be going. Jeff asked who else would be joining her. Fiefia announced that they’d chosen Marissa and Sage to go on the journey as well. Jeff pointed to a boat for Kit, Marissa and Sage. For the rest of them, he sent them back to camp.

 Kit, Marissa and Sage arrived to their destination and found out they’d have to walk through a dirty creek to get to their decision. Marissa gasped at how far they’d have to walk. On the way there, they discuss their tribes. Marissa very honestly says shes feels confident within her position and that her tribe is going to be voting off Freddie if they lose. Sage says they also get along well with their tribe. Kit’s eyes start watering. The others ask what’s wrong and she says that she feels so alone on her tribe and like nobody likes her. Sage rubs her back and says that they’re sorry her experience hasn’t been good thus far. Kit wiped her tears and said she wished they were on her tribe. They finally arrive to the summit where Sage reads the note, explaining how the rules work. Kit looks to them and says that she’ll owe them everything if they let her have the advantage because she really needs it. Sage states that they weren’t planning on risking their vote anyway so they’d be fine with that deal. Marissa went quiet and said she wasn’t sure. They all make their decisions and reveal them to one another. Sage had chosen to not risk their vote while Kit and Marissa both had. Kit offers Marissa a smile and says it’s okay. Marissa and Kit both pick from the bag and wish one another luck. Marissa expresses how thankful she is that Kit isn’t bitter. She notes that when she first saw Kit, she thought she would be a total bitch and she’s glad to be wrong. They all headed off their separate ways.

 At the Tau tribe, Sage reported to Yun and Trina what happened. They told them to be weary of Kit and Marissa because one of them had an advantage. They noted how weird it was of Marissa to risk even though Kit clearly needed it more. The three agree that they hope Kit has the advantage and not Marissa.

 At the Loto tribe, Marissa told the group as a whole that she had not sacrificed her vote. She then pulled Jordyn and Paloma aside for a private alliance chat. She told them that she had risked and revealed her package. She took a deep breath and opened it to see what was inside. She read the note inside which revealed that she’d risked and lost and wouldn’t have a vote at tribal. Jordyn and Paloma both sighed and told her it was okay. Paloma reassured her that it wouldn’t matter and everyone was sick and tired of Freddie.

 At the Fiefia tribe, Kit returned on her boat and told everyone that she’d risked her vote but lost and wouldn’t get to vote at the next tribal council. Lamar rolled his eyes and said that he wouldn’t of lost had he gone. Kit asked him why he was being so nasty to her and he said that it was stupid that the tribe let her go when he’s been more active at camp. Boston tries to break it up and defends Kit by saying that they had gone to a tribe vote so it wasn’t just her decision. Lamar yelled back and asked why Boston was defending her. Kit cut Lamar off and said that she just went on an hour long walk through a dirty creek and she needed some quiet. She asked Madi to come with her in case she got lost. Once alone, Kit told Madi that she actually hadn’t opened hers yet. She opened her note to read that she’d risked and won. Kit squealed and hugged Madi. She continued reading and realized she’d won a Steal a Vote advantage. Kit smiled from ear to ear and told Madi this was exactly what they needed.

 The three tribes joined Jeff on the beach for the Immunity Challenge. He explained the rules. It was a swimming based challenge that ended with a puzzle. Loto had to sit one member out of the challenge and selected Freddie. Once the challenge started, each tribe selected three members to complete the swimming portion. It was DJ, Jarrett and Jordyn for Loto, Boston, Kit, and Lamar for Fiefia, Owen, Gloria, and Trina for Tau. Loto had a massive lead on the other tribes and made great work through the swimming obstacles. Beyond them, Tau had a minor lead on Fiefia. Loto reached the end first, allowing Marissa and Paloma to begin the puzzle. Around five minutes later, Tau arrived, allowing Sage and Yun to begin the puzzle. Fiefia was still stuck in the water obstacles. Marissa and Paloma made decent progress on their puzzle. They only had a few pieces left when Fiefia finally finished the water element, allowing Madi and Spenser to work on the puzzle. Before Madi and Spenser could even unbag all of the pieces, Marissa and Paloma shouted for Jeff. Jeff checked their puzzle and declared Loto as the first winners of the challenge. Sage and Yun made decent work on their puzzle so Fiefia had a lot of catching up to do. Spenser immediately started putting pieces down and made very fast work on the puzzle. Madi helped out with filling gaps. In no time, Spenser had closed the gap and both tribes were neck and neck. Eventually, Spenser screamed for Jeff. Jeff went over and announced that in a huge comeback, Spenser had won Immunity for Fiefia. Madi hugged him tightly and the others ran over to congratulate him on the hard work. Tau was visibly disappointed. Paloma and Spenser collected their immunity statues from Jeff. He reminded Tau that they had a date with him tonight at tribal council where one of them would be leaving.

 Back at the Tau camp, Sage tried to uplift the tribe and told them they all gave it their best shot. Gloria was the most visibly upset as she hated the idea of going back to tribal council. She got teary eyed and headed off, Owen followed her. Yun rolled her eyes. Sage suggested the three of them vote off Gloria because of her weak performance in the challenge. Yun and Trina both nodded and the three shook hands on the vote. After half an hour, Gloria hadn’t returned. Trina told the others she would try and find her to see if she was okay. Sage and Yun nodded and felt that was the safest and best option for Gloria’s well-being. Trina caught up to Gloria and Owen and asked if Gloria was hanging in there. Gloria wiped her tears and said she was alright. Owen complained because they had a lead over Fiefia but that Yun and Sage blew it on the puzzle. Trina asked who they were wanting to vote and Owen suggested Yun as Sage had overall been better in challenges than her. Trina nodded and said that she understood. The tribe gathered together as the sun began to set and grabbed their torches in preparation for tribal. Gloria and Owen kissed in case it’d be the last time.

 The Tau tribe arrives at tribal council and Jeff invites them to sit down. He starts by asking Sage if they felt at all responsible for the lost as the tribe had the lead over Fiefia until the puzzle portion. Sage expressed that them and Yun had done their best and that it was a very close call, and that’s something to be proud of. Jeff asked Trina if names were thrown out right away once they got back to camp. Trina said that there wasn’t much strategy talk and that everyone was just really sad about the possibility of losing one of their tribemates because they’d almost become a family. Jeff reminds Gloria that she almost left during the first tribal and asked how confident she felt going into this one. Gloria said that as long as everyone’s been honest with her, she shouldn’t have anything to worry about. Jeff asks the tribe to raise their hand if they feel safe going into the vote and everyone raised their hand. They all laughed at the irony. With that, Jeff commenced the voting. By a vote of 3-2, Yun was voted off. Sage and Yun’s jaws dropped. Trina looked to Yun and said she was genuinely sorry. Yun shook her head and stood up to grab her torch. She blew a kiss to Sage as she brought her torch to Jeff and set it down. He blew out her torch and told her the tribe had spoken. Yun wished them well and headed off in shock and disappointment.
