I Can Give You Front Row Seats

This is the fifth episode of *Survivor: The Seven Vials*

## Challenges

**Reward Challenge:** *Crack It Open*
Survivors must race to crack open coconuts and obtain the juice inside of them. Once they have some juice, they must maneuver through a series of obstacles and place the remaining juice into a tube. The first tribe to fill up their tube wins.
**Reward:** A helicopter ride to a nearby island to enjoy an afternoon picnic and the fifth vial of their choice.

**Immunity Challenge:** *Grapple Masters*
Tribes would race to collect bags of balls with a grappling hook. Once the bags are retrieved, they would use three of the balls and get all three through a maze lifting and lowering the four corners of the table to move the ball. The first two tribes to finish would win immunity.

### Previously On Survivor

The tribes competed in another reward challenge for a fruit basket, chickens, and the vial of their choice. Cabang dominated the challenge and won reward, and with it chose vial one.

**Forrest (reading)**: Congratulations, this vial gives your tribe the power to exile a member from the other tribe until the next immunity challenge. Note, if there are multiple tribes, one member from each tribe will be exiled. Remember, although the exiled will have limited supplies on Exile Island, they will also have other advantages. You will have a few seconds to discuss with your tribe who to choose.

Cabang ultimately chose Lindy and Tyler, who each chose the clue to the hidden immunity idol. They also were informed of a second, more detailed clue they could find at the upcoming immunity challenge.

On Exile Island, Tyler and Lindy started hatching a plan for a cross-tribal alliance.

**Tyler**: What if... I offered you a cross-tribal alliance.

**Lindy (her interest peaked)**: Cross-tribal alliance?

And on Menggala, Jodie started plotting against Tyler's potential advantage.

**Nick**: What if he does get it?

**Jodie (looking Nick in the eyes)**: I'm going to flush it out.

After a disappointing loss at the reward challenge, Zandria started to try to change her ways.

But right before the immunity challenge, told a lie to Stephanie that she figured out.

**Stephanie**: OK, I'm just going to be honest... Not everyone here has been honest. You both told me different things and I just need to get right to it... Which one of you is lying?

A sharp musical sting occurs as Zandria keeps stirring the fire.

**Zandria**: What do you mean?

**Stephanie**: What you told me about Star, was it true?

And at the immunity challenge, Kotabumi suffered yet another defeat.

Lindy knew the exact location of the idol, but was unable to go and get it before tribal, and Abby tried her best to convince Lindy to keep Zandria over Star.

Yet at tribal council, Lindy hoped to strengthen the tribe by voting out Zandria in a 3-2 vote. 13 remain, who will be voted tonight?

### Night 11

The sliver of a moon is shown in the sky and a beetle is shown crawling on a tree as Kotabumi walks back into camp. They set their stuff down and sit around the fire.

**Abby**: Look, I'm just going to say, you all made your decision. I personally disagree, but it is what it is. Star, you know I love you, you're fun to be around and I love you girl, but you should have left tonight instead of Zandria. Nothing personal.

Star looks over at Stephanie who is smirking. She lets out a little laugh and stokes the fire.

**Star**: I'm sorry you feel that way Abby, but I think the rest of the tribe disagreed with you.

**Abby**: Sure did. You know, it's the game and I understand that I was on the wrong side of the numbers tonight... but it's a long game and it's not over until it's over.

**Star**: Yep. Anything could happen.

The camera follows Lindy who walks away from the tribe and to the water hole. She looks at the camera and points to the rippling water.

**Lindy (whispering)**: It's right here!

She squints her eyes, but it's too dark for her to see anything. She mummers something that the camera doesn't pick up as her confessional plays for the audience.

Dramatic music has been playing during Lindy's confessional that builds up dramatically to all of a sudden stop as the camera cuts to black.

### Day 12

#### Kotabumi

After the opening credits, the camera returns to the Kotabumi beach. The sun is seen slowly starting to rise. The camera catches Lindy sitting up in the shelter, yawning and looking at the rest of her sleeping tribemates.

All of a sudden, the camera cuts to show the back of someone's feet as they are running through the jungle. The camera man's hands are shown swatting away tree branches to try and keep up with Lindy. She finally slows down and is resting next to a tree by the water where the clue mentioned, trying to catch her breath.

She starts searching through several bushes, looking for a parcel or some weird shape. Finally, she pulls out her clue which she had stuffed into her top and reads it over.

**Lindy (muttering)**: Oh, up high.

She looks up and looks at a tree. She starts to climb it but the camera pans over to show Abby slowly making her way over to the small pond. Lindy notices this and drops down from the trees and crouches down in the bushes.

Lindy is watching Abby who is floating face-up in the water. Abby's smiling and making small ripples with her hands while Lindy looks close to losing her cool.

Abby laughs to herself as she splashes the water some more. Lindy frustrated slowly leaves Abby alone in the pond.

#### Reward Challenge

Menggala and Cabang come into the challenge arena and as Kotabumi enters without Zandria, Jodie starts clapping. Tyler smiles and nods at Lindy who smirks. Jeff stares at the three tribes.

**Jeff**: Jodie, you had arguably the biggest reaction to Zandria's elimination.

**Jodie**: I'm just glad she's gone Jeff.

**Jeff**: Alright, let's get to today's challenge. Today, four of you will race through the course here and crack open coconuts at the top of the course. Once you have your coconut cracked open and some of the juice in your mouth, you will race back down through the course and spit the juice you've managed to keep into a tube. The first tribe to fill their tube up to the fill line will release a flag and win reward. Want to know what you're playing for?

The tribes cheer as Jeff motions to a helicopter not too far from the challenge area.

**Jeff**: The winning tribe will enjoy a helicopter ride to a nearby island. There they will enjoy an afternoon picnic, I'm talking hamburgers, roasted pig, sundaes, you name it and it'll be there. You will also have your choice between one of two vials that are left. Big stakes, I know it's worth playing for. I'll give you a few moments and then we'll begin.

 Winner
 Losers

**Challenge Highlights**

* Jodie sat out for Menggala due to her injury from the previous day and the amount of leg movement she would have to use on the course.
* Right off the bat, Cabang fell a little behind the other two tribes as they were going too fast through the obstacles, falling off and having to go back to the start.
* Addi reaches the top for Menggala first and starts sipping the coconut as Lester, Genesis, and Stephanie are right behind her.
* Abby and Nick are the last to the top and start sipping on the coconuts.
* After a couple of rounds of going back and forth, it's clear that Menggala is in the lead but is followed closely behind by Kotabumi and then Cabang.
* Due to Stephanie and Lindy, it seems Kotabumi might be over to retake the lead from Menggala, but Abby is unable to keep down her coconut juice and throws it up. This has a chain reaction, causing Star to also be unable to keep her juice down dropping Kotabumi down to last place.
* Menggala finishes first followed by Cabang and then Kotabumi who had completely destroyed their lead.

**Jeff**: Menggala wins an afternoon picnic along with the next vial of their choice!

Menggala screams in excitement as Cabang and Kotabumi look on in disappointed stares.

**Jeff**: Menggala, which vial do you want?

The tribe crowds around and discuss it for a bit before turning to Jeff and telling him they want vial 2. Jeff hands it over to them.

**Jeff**: This vial *will* remain unopened until right before the immunity challenge. Kotabumi and Cabang, I got nothing for you, head on out.

The two losing tribes leave as Menggala share excited laughter and talk about the helicopter in the distance.

**Jeff**: Menggala, the helicopter is waiting for you, enjoy your reward.

Before the scene cuts to commercial, the camera pans over Menggala's excited faces as they make their way to their reward.

#### Cabang

After a commercial break, the camera comes back up on Cabang at their camp. Forrest is throwing some fishing line into the water trying to catch something. He's been trying for sometime but he's had no luck so far.

As Forrest continues to try and catch something, Genesis comes and joins him in the water.

**Genesis**: I was just talking to Ethan and Dan, if you don't catch anything they said it'd be alright to have one of the chickens tonight.

**Forrest (occupied by the fishing)**: We'd have two left.

**Genesis**: If you're not fine with it's fine. I want it to be a decision from all four of us.

**Forrest**: Give me about another half an hour.

Genesis nods and leaves Forrest alone in the ocean to keep trying to catch something.

As Genesis's confessional ends, an all of a sudden commotion of squeaking and yelling can be heard as a single chicken is seen scurrying out across the tribe towards the woods.

**Ethan (yelling)**: Catch it!

All four members of the tribe are trying their best to surround the chicken as it keeps evading their grasps.

**Genesis (muttering)**: Oh my God...

**Dan**: Genesis! Grab it!

Genesis sticks her hands out and the chicken pecks at it as it runs by, she lets out a scream and jumps back. Finally, Forrest manages to get a grab on it's neck.

**Dan (mumbling)**: Better be the best damn chicken I've ever ate.

A whack of a machete and the final scream of a chicken can be heard as Dan is shown lifting the machete up again. Everyone is surrounding him, excited to enjoy their chicken.

**Genesis**: I just want to say I'm sorry for letting the chicken get out.

Dan nods and keeps working while Genesis keeps eyeing him from the corner of her eyes.

**Forrest**: It's OK, we all know you'd never do it on purpose Genesis.

Dan glances up but goes back to cleaning the chicken as Genesis rolls her eyes.

The camera cuts back to Dan who is setting the chicken on the fire. The entire tribe is deadly silent.

**Dan**: I just think it's funny how the chicken got out. Did it just slip out of your hands?

**Genesis**: Yeah, I was just picking it up and it slipped its way out of my hands.

**Dan**: I just think it's funny how the chickens are the one thing that I am in charge of, and it's the one thing that is constantly messed up.

A little while has passed and everyone is eating their pieces of chicken.

**Dan (out of nowhere)**: I just think it's funny how the chickens got out.

**Genesis**: Geez Dan, can you just let it go? We determined it was an accident.

**Dan**: We just said it was, I can get a chicken out of the cage without letting it go, so the fact one got out...

**Genesis**: Last time I checked Dan, I'm not you. If it's that big of a deal to you, you can just get the chickens out from now on and I'll just watch.

**Dan**: I just don't want to chase my food every time before I eat it.

**Genesis**: Then I'll let you take the chickens out of the cage from now on.

**Dan**: Then you won't get your little enjoyment of seeing my hunt down the chickens.

Genesis sets down her bowl that has the chicken in and lets out a sigh.

**Genesis**: Dan, I don't get enjoyment out of seeing you chase a chicken around...

**Dan (yelling)**: THEN WHY DID YOU DO IT? WHY ARE YOU AGAINST ME?

**Genesis (yelling back)**: I'M NOT AGAINST YOU DAN! CAN YOU JUST CALM DOWN?

Dan and Genesis both stand up and start yelling in each other's faces as Forrest gets up and separates the two. The camera pans back to the fire where Ethan is still sitting, eating his chicken.

The camera cuts back to Dan who is silently eating his chicken alone by the fire while Genesis and Ethan are silently talking by the shelter. Ethan pats Genesis's shoulder as she struggles not to cry.

Dan is shown licking his fingers as the camera cuts..

#### Kotabumi

The camera comes up on Kotabumi, just having got back from their challenge. Immediately, Abby tells her tribe she's going to go for a *long* walk and to not be worried if she isn't back for a while.

**Lindy (whispering)**: I'll follow her from a distance for a while... If she finds something I'll let you know.

Star and Stephanie nod and turn to each other as they are left alone at camp.

**Star**: I swear if she finds an idol!

**Stephanie**: I will literally jump in the fire. It would be the worst thing that could happen.

**Star**: It amuses me how she wouldn't get a nail dirty to help around camp but now all of a sudden she's rolling around in the dirt.

**Stephanie**: That's the power of the idol.

Star and Stephanie are shown laughing in the shelter talking about their home lives as Lindy comes back, shaking her head.

**Lindy**: She just spends her time laying in the pond over yonder... She won't even get dirty to find an idol.

**Star (laughing)**: Honestly, I feel no sympathy for her.

Star's laughter can be heard as the camera cuts to...

#### Reward

The helicopter is flying over all the islands. Menggala sees both Cabang and Kotabumi returning to their camps and wave from their helicopters.

The tribe enters a hut and gasp at the large amount of food available to them.

**Addi**: Ack! This is so much food!

**Tyler (smiling)**: Dig in.

The entire tribe is shown eating portions of the meal, except for the decorative roasted pig sitting in the middle of the table. A huge apple sits in its mouth.

Addi is shown laughing at the table with the rest of her tribemates. Lester is shown smiling and picking at his food.

The chefs come in and tell Menggala that their dessert will be out in a few moments and that they can wait around while it comes. Most of the tribe takes this time to step outside of the hut and walk around for a bit. Jodie tags behind and starts lifting up plates and napkins, searching frantically for the idol clue.

Jodie is seen slowly crouching and crawling underneath the table. She comes back out from underneath with nothing. Lester calls out for her to join them.

**Jodie**: I think I'll just rest for a bit!

She turns to the cameraman and grins.

**Jodie (whispering)**: Being old has its advantages.

Jodie finally looks at the pig and almost instantly, it's like a lightbulb went off in her head.

**Jodie (whispering)**: Of course!

Jodie pulls the apple out of the pig's mouth and sticks her hand far inside the pig's body, searching around with her arm for the clue. While she has her entire arm inside the pig, the door to the kitchen swings open, and a chef comes out with the plates of desserts. He takes one look at Jodie and turns around, leaving Jodie alone. Embarrassed, she pulls her hand out of the pig and replaces the apple. Finally, the entire tribe is called over for the final portion of their picnic. They receive fresh utensil wear and while Jodie unwraps hers, a piece of paper falls out of it. She quickly grabs it and sticks it in her pocket, looking around to make sure no one saw it.

As Jodie is seen enjoying her dessert, triumphant music plays as Tyler grins at her and also eats his dessert.

### Day 13

#### Menggala

The sun has not fully risen yet, but Tyler and Lester are stoking the fire for Menggala. Tyler is biting his lips and looking around to make sure no one else is awake.

Tyler leans over and whispers into Lester's ear.

**Tyler**: I have the clue to the idol.

Lester smiles and lets out a little laugh.

**Lester**: That's great dude.

**Tyler**: You're the only person I'm showing this to.

Tyler pulls the idol clue out of his pants pocket and unfolds it. He passes it to Lester who looks it over.

**Lester**: It's by the pond?

**Tyler**: Yeah, I was thinking if both of us searched for it, we'd find it today maybe.

**Lester**: We should do it soon, while everyone's asleep.

They nod and go away from camp towards the pond.

The camera shows Tyler and Lester climbing up trees and searching in them. They are looking around and poking at stuff, seeing if a package falls.

Grandiose music plays as Lester calls for Tyler and pulls out a package. Tyler starts jumping in excitement as Lester unwraps the package. A glass vial painted green that is circular at the bottom and has a cork in it falls out along with a note.

**Lester (reading)**: Congratulations! You have found your tribe's hidden immunity idol! You can play this after the votes have been cast *but* before they are read and you will negate any votes cast for the player this idol is played for. This idol *is* transferable and is good until there are five players left in the game.

**Tyler (hugging Lester)**: We did it man.

Lester extends the idol towards Tyler.

**Lester**: I think you should hold onto it.

**Tyler**: Me? Are you sure dude, you found it.

**Lester**: Yeah, but it's your clue.

**Tyler**: I mean... if you're sure. I promise if either of us needs it I'll play it.

**Lester (laughing)**: You better! Or you'll be a dead man!

The two men laugh and head back to camp, their hands on each other's shoulders as Lester's confessional plays.

As Lester's confessional ends, he and Tyler have gotten back to camp. He lays down in the shelter next to Nick as Tyler sits by the fire. Jodie gets up from the shelter and sits down next to Tyler. She looks around, making sure no one can hear them.

**Jodie (whispering)**: Have you found it yet?

As musical sting occurs as Tyler looks at her.

**Tyler**: Found it?

**Jodie**: The idol. I got the third clue at the last reward... I'm assuming you got one of the first two at Exile...

Tyler smiles and nods. He says he did get a clue but he hasn't found the idol yet.

**Jodie**: It says it's in a tree on the east side of the pond... I don't even know which side that is...

**Tyler**: Well the sun sets in the... east, right?

**Jodie (sighing)**: The west.

**Tyler**: So it's the side the sun rises on, but wait, doesn't the sun rise differently depending on if you're above or below the equator?

Jodie rolls her eyes and stares at the camera.

Jodie and Addi are walking down the path they have made. Jodie looks over her shoulder, making sure the others are far enough away to not hear her.

**Jodie (quietly)**: I might need you to search in some trees for me.

**Addi (smiling)**: Really?

**Jodie**: At the reward yesterday I found a clue... It's in the trees by the pond.

Addi nods and the two start making their way over to the pond.

The camera shows Addi in a tree, shaking a branch as Jodie points at another tree.

**Jodie**: Have we tried that one yet?

**Addi (yelling down)**: I don't think so!

Addi shimmies down the tree as the camera fades into...

#### Kotabumi

Lindy is sitting in the pond, relaxing as Abby comes by and joins her. The two ladies sit in silence for a little while before Abby sits up and gives a little cough.

**Abby**: Lindy, can I just talk to you for a few seconds?

**Lindy**: Sure, what do you want to talk about?

**Abby**: I just feel like you made a mistake last tribal council. I'm sorry but you are wrong, I was right and now we're both screwed... Is there anyway we could work together at the next one?

**Lindy**: If we lose... I would consider it.

**Abby**: I would just think about it, I would hate for you to cast a meaningless vote.

**Lindy (perking her head up)**: Oh?

**Abby**: Yeah... I don't want to say too much but... I wouldn't vote for me.

The camera shows Lindy laying down still as Abby gets up and dries off. She walks back into camp and stops at the shelter where Stephanie is lying down.

**Abby**: Steph, where is your head at?

**Stephanie**: What do you mean?

**Abby**: We've been on the same tribe since day 1, I just want to know what you're thinking... about this game long term.

**Stephanie**: Right now I want to keep our tribe strong... We've lost the last three out of four challenges, and we barely won the first one. We need to keep our tribe strong.

**Abby**: What if we merge soon?

**Stephanie**: It's only Day 13 Abby. I think we still have a good six days until we merge.

**Abby**: I would just hate for you to be wrong.

Stephanie shakes her head as Abby lets out a little laugh.

**Abby**: You think you're right?

**Stephanie**: I'm not a psychic, but I feel pretty good.

**Abby**: If that's how you feel, just know that if we lose the next challenge... I'm not going to write your name down.

**Stephanie**: Thanks Abby, that's very nice of you.

**Abby**: Yeah, I would just hate for you to go, I mean like vote for you like that, you know?

Stephanie eyes Abby and nods. She excuses herself and gets up and finds Star looking for food in the ocean.

Stephanie taps Star on the shoulder and whispers in her ear.

**Stephanie**: I think Abby found the idol.

**Star**: You do?

**Stephanie**: She walked into camp *very* confident. She told me she wasn't voting for me because she didn't want me to leave the game in "that way."

**Star**: Dude, there's no way she found it.

**Stephanie**: She's stopped searching for the idol.

**Star**: Probably because she know she has no shot at finding it, look Steph, Abby is just trying to stir us all up and get us working against each other, she is going next.

**Stephanie**: I'm just worried... She's not looking for the idol, she is very confident, and I think she wants to vote you out.

**Star**: Well that's not a surprise. Listen... I'm not worried about it, until I see her with the idol in her hand, I'm not going to lose any sleep over it and neither should you. We're going to be fine if we just stay calm and stick to the plan. If we start running all over the place, things are going to get messy and ruin everyone's game.

Stephanie nods and looks back to Abby who is now looking out into the ocean at Star and Stephanie.

**Stephanie**: I just want to make sure you and I are safe next vote.

**Star**: We will be.

Lindy and Stephanie are shown walking to treemail as the camera cuts to...

#### Cabang

Genesis and Ethan are sitting in the low-tide of the water, talking about their families.

**Genesis**: How old is your daughter?

**Ethan**: She's 33 right now but on Day 25 she'll be 34.

**Genesis**: Oh my goodness! I'm sorry you have to miss it.

**Ethan**: Yeah, it'll suck because I've never missed one of her birthdays yet...

**Genesis**: I'm sure she'll understand.

**Ethan**: Oh she totally did! \*laughs\* She said if I was out of the game before then, that's the only way she'll be upset with me missing it.

**Genesis**: Well if we make it to the final four we won't have to worry about that.

**Ethan**: I guess we won't will we?

Genesis laughs as she and Ethan keep talking about their lives.

Ethan is shown smiling as the camera cuts to a commercial.

#### Immunity Challenge

The camera comes back on all three tribes entering the challenge area. They are carrying their lit torches, as it is almost dusk and soon it will be difficult to see. The challenge area is lit up with torches and fire pits along the sides, and Jeff stands in the middle next to the hooks they will soon be using.

**Jeff**: Welcome to your immunity challenge. Today you'll be competing in immunity. One at time you will throw a grappling hook, if you miss you pass the hook off to the next player. If you catch one your bag of balls, you reel it in. Once you've caught all five bags, you will untie them all and find the three balls of your tribe color. You will use these balls on the table maze behind you, all four competing tribe members will have to work together to move the table. The first two tribes to finish will immunity and will be safe from the vote. Menggala, since you won reward, you chose vial number two. You can open it now and read it aloud to everyone.

Addi uncorks the vials and unravels the piece of paper.

**Addi (reading)**: This next tribal council is special, it is an instant tribal council. Following this challenge, the winning tribes will return to their camps, but the losing tribe will immediately follow Jeff to the tribal council area where they will vote out a member tonight. You will have no time to talk to your tribe-mates before you get to tribal. Hope you already had a plan in mind... Unless you don't mind scrambling tonight at tribal.

Everyone's faces are shocked as Jodie shakes her head.

**Jodie (under her breath)**: God dang.

The camera shows Dan nodding his head in disbelief as Jeff smiles and looks at the cast.

**Jeff**: I'll give you a few moments, and then we'll start this obviously *very* important immunity challenge.

 Winners
 Loser

**Challenge Highlights**

* Right away, Cabang gets off to an early lead as Forrest and Dan both hook a bag on their first throw.
* Jodie is the first to hook for Menggala while the other three miss their first throw.
* All of Kotabumi miss their first throw. Abby briefly hooks a bag but it slips loose.
* Cabang quickly gathers all of their bags and get started on the maze. Initially their communication isn't great, causing them to lose time.
* During this time, Kotabumi has managed to have a miraculous comeback, catching up to Menggala who each had only one bag left to hook.
* Abby throws the hook that catches the bag for Kotabumi, allowing them to start working on the table maze.
* During this time, Cabang has gotten the first ball through the maze and have started working on their second one.
* Jodie catches the fifth bag and starts reeling it in for Menggala, hoping to allow them to catch up to the other two tribes.
* Cabang quickly gets their second ball through the maze and start working on the third and final one.
* Kotabumi completely falls apart at the maze, with several shouting matches occurring about which way to tilt the table.
* This allows Menggala to pass by Kotabumi and get their first ball through the maze.
* Cabang finishes first and wins immunity!
* Panicked, Stephanie tells everyone to listen to her, and that only one person should talk at a time. This allows Kotabumi to find a rhythm and allow them to get the first ball through the course.
* However, their earlier lack of communication is enough to cause them to lose immunity after Menggala flies through the remaining two balls.
* Kotabumi had their third and final ball halfway through the maze when Menggala finished.

**Jeff**: Cabang and Menggala win immunity! Kotabumi loses their second straight immunity challenge and will join me at tribal council in just a few minutes!

Menggala is jumping up and down excited at their win as Kotabumi stares ahead, disappointed.

**Abby (inaudible)**: One freaking ball.

Menggala and Cabang gather the tribal immunities and head on out while Jeff stares at Kotabumi.

**Jeff**: I will see you at tribal council, where one of you will be the fifth person voted out of this game.

The camera shows Lindy walking with her tribe to tribal council as her confessional plays.

Lindy brushes her hair out of her face as the screen goes to commercial.

## Tribal Council

After the commercial break, the camera comes back on Kotabumi entering tribal council. They take a seat and look at Jeff who's shaking his head.

**Jeff**: Another immunity challenge, another loss from Kotabumi. Star, at this point do you have any hope that you can win a challenge?

**Star**: Uh it certainly looks like we have an uphill battle but I think we all still have some faith left. You have to believe you can do anything in this game... otherwise you won't get very far.

**Jeff**: Stephanie, do you feel that you can win a challenge?

**Stephanie**: I do. I would put a hundred dollars on us winning the next challenge. That's how confident I am.

**Jeff**: And why are you so confident?

**Stephanie**: Tonight the weakest link in our tribe is going.

**Jeff**: So you already have a vote in mind?

**Stephanie**: Ever since Zandria left we've all thought about who we would vote out next.

Abby laughs.

**Abby**: She means that the other three thought I would be an easy vote for tonight because I voted with Zandria last time. Now they're trying to claim I suck at challenges which couldn't be further from the truth.

Star rolls her eyes as Jeff looks at Abby.

**Jeff**: So Abby, you think these three ladies are voting for you *not* because of your ability in challenges?

**Abby**: No, I almost hooked several bags and brought in two of them. That alone should prove I'm not the weakest. If this tribe was concerned about strength, they would vote out Star.

**Star**: Strength comes in many forms. Just because Abby is good at throwing a grappling hook doesn't mean she's good at other challenges. At the reward challenge, for example, she threw up.

**Abby**: You did too honey.

**Star**: Because when I see vomit, I vomit. It's not that I couldn't keep my coconut juice down like you.

**Abby**: See Jeff. It all comes back to how I suck instead of how the tribe sucks. We all have our weaknesses, so to say that by getting rid of one of us we are magically stronger is a foolish idea.

**Jeff**: Lindy, are you taking strength into consideration tonight?

**Lindy**: I'm taking many forms of strength into my though process tonight. There's who is strong physically, who's strong mentally, and who is strong in the sense that I can trust them.

**Abby**: Then in that case you're the weakest...

Lindy smiles as Stephanie lets out a chuckle and Jeff goes wide-faced.

**Star (calming Jeff down)**: She's just trying to save herself tonight. Abby knows she's on the chopping block so she's throwing everyone under the bus.

**Jeff**: So Abby, you know you're in trouble tonight?

**Abby**: I don't think so.

A musical sting occurs as Stephanie looks at Abby. Jeff cocks his head in confusion.

**Jeff**: Why don't you think you're in trouble tonight?

**Abby**: I found the hidden immunity idol this morning.

Stephanie's face goes wide in shock as she grips Star's knee. Star looks at her and shakes her head.

**Star**: Jeff, none of us brought our bags to tribal so even if Abby had the idol, it's back at camp.

**Abby**: That's if I left it back there. For something as precious as an idol, don't you think I'd carry it on my persons at all times?

**Star**: Can I see this magical idol then?

Abby smiles, reaches into her bra and pulls out a fancy decorative shell.

**Abby (putting it on)**: The Kotabumi idol.

Star and Stephanie look at each other worried and look at Lindy, nervous.

**Jeff**: Wow. Stephanie, does this change your plan?

**Stephanie**: I mean, if we assume it's an idol...

**Abby**: Oh it is.

**Stephanie**: Then it's obvious that Abby is playing it on herself.

**Abby**: Bingo!

Lindy rolls her eyes and reaches into her pocket.

**Lindy**: Jeff...

Everyone turns to her as she pulls out a circular, red vial similar to the one Lester and Tyler found.

**Lindy (draping it around her neck)**: I didn't want to share this with anyone, but I can't let Abby disrupt our plans for tonight. *This* is the Kotabumi idol, I found in the trees above the pond at our camp. I can promise Star and Stephanie that if we vote as a threesome and take out Abby, we will have a deal that this Kotabumi idol will be played on one of us three and one of us three only.

**Abby**: Oh I see you're pulling out a fake idol Lindy.

Star rolls her eyes.

**Star**: I mean, one of them has to be fake, and since I don't know how Lindy got red paint, I would assume her's real.

**Abby**: I'm just saying, I wouldn't want one vote to dictate this game. Plus, if you join me and vote out Lindy, you'll flush out the idol and you won't have to worry about it.

**Jeff**: Stephanie, both Lindy and Abby are offering great deals.

**Stephanie**: You know, both are offering something great but it boils down to if I can trust what they're offering me.

**Jeff**: Well this has been quite a lively tribal, it's now time to vote. Lindy you are up first.

All four ladies are shown walking up to the voting booth. None of their votes are shown and after Abby votes, she sits down and Jeff goes to view the votes.

**Jeff**: If anyone would like to play an idol, now is the time to do so.

Abby stands up and takes off her shell necklace. Star and Stephanie watch her with their eyes wide open as she tosses it into the fire.

**Abby (smiling)**: It's done all it can.

Lindy smirks and nods at Stephanie and Star.

**Jeff**: Alright, I'll read the votes. The person voted out must leave the tribal council area immediately.

**First vote**: Abby

Abby simply nods at this.

**Second Vote**: Lindy

Lindy is slipping the idol off her neck and back into her pocket as Abby shakes her head.

**Third Vote**: Abby, that's two votes Abby, one vote Lindy, one vote left.

**Fourth Vote**:

and the fifth person voted out of Survivor: The Seven Vials...

Abby

**Jeff**: Abby, that's three, that's enough. I need you to bring me your torch.

Abby nods and grabs her torch as the remaining three Kotabumi ladies get up and give her a hug.

**Star (whispering)**: You played hard till the end.

Abby gives her a fist bump and walks over to Jeff.

**Jeff**: Abby, the tribe has spoken.

**Abby (turning to her tribe)**: One of you better win this.

The three ladies laugh as Abby leaves. Her torch still blowing up smoke.

**Jeff**: Well one thing's clear, this vote seems to have unified the tribe. We'll see if that was the thing that was holding you back. Head on out I'll see you at the next challenge.
