I May Be The Dumbest Player Ever

**I May Be The Dumbest Player Ever** is the eighth episode of *Survivor: Guam**.*

## Previously on Survivor

Anita quit the game after feeling drained, mentally and physically, leaving a lasting impact for the rest of the game. For example, Kyle and his alliance felt annoyed that their plan to vote out James failed, and had to think of new ideas. Over at the Qutana camp, Brick, Alexis and Macy now had the obvious majority. However, they decide that if a merge did not come, they would align with Skyla (to have an extra ally at merge) to get rid of Wilbur. However, a merge did come, starting the individual portion of the game.

Brick won the first reward challenge, choosing Macy and Kyle to come with him on a feast. Macy got annoyed with Brick, as he was telling Kyle their information. When they asked what happened at Kyle's tribe, he only told them a small portion of what was happening on his side. When they returned, the tribe named themselves Alitana, joining the words Alico and Qutana together. Afterwards, two clear alliances formed. James, Abbey, Skyla, and Wilbur - the Alico alliance, and Chase, Natasha, Brick, Alexis, Kyle, and Macy - the Qutana alliance. At the immunity challenge, it came down to Abbey and Brick. In an effort to improve his social game, Brick gave immunity to Abbey. The majority alliance had their target set on Skyla, but James' idol threw a spanner in the works. Kyle tried to convince him to play it on himself.

Knowing she was on the bottom, Skyla tried to convince Brick, Kyle, and Alexis to work with her and pull off a 4-3-3 vote, blindsiding Wilbur and flushing James' idol. At tribal, it was shown that she managed to convince them to flip, and her plan went accordingly. James used his idol, negating 0 votes, and Wilbur went home, leaving most people very confused and angry. 9 are left, who will be voted out tonight?

## Challenges

**Reward Challenge:** The Auction
The castaways are given $500 dollars. They must outbid the others on items - mostly food. The auction will end at random, without warning, meaning that people may not spend any of their money.

**Immunity Challenge:** Musical Rings
Playing Survivor's version of Musical Chairs each castaway will race out to grab a bag, open it, and toss a ring onto a pole. The last person left in each round is eliminated until the final two. The last person left wins the challenge.

## Story

### Night 21

The Alitana tribe returns to camp after their first Tribal Council, and first blindside. Nobody looks happy with the four people that flipped. (Alexis, Brick, Kyle, Skyla.) They put their torches down and stay silent for a few seconds.

As soon as they sit down, the arguments and explanations begin.

**Macy:** Why. Would. You. Guys. Do. That?
**Brick:** We had to.
**Chase:**No you didn't.
**Skyla:** Y'all are just salty we played you.
**Natasha:** Shut up Skyla.
**Skyla:** I have a right to talk.
**Kyle:** She's right, Nat.
**James:** I'm just confused.What happened?
**Abbey:** Wilbur, You, and I voted for Macy. Chase, Nat and Macy voted for Skyla, and Alexis, Brick, Kyle and Skyla voted for Wilbur.
**James:** Wow.

After this was said, people started talking over one another. Nobody could hear anything, and it was becoming a mess.

**Macy:** Y'know what? Alexis, Brick, I want to talk to you. Follow me.

They walked far enough away so nobody could hear them.

**Macy:** What made you do that?
**Alexis:** Skyla convinced us to do a 4-3-3 vote.
**Macy:** I don't see why you went through with it. We were an alliance!
**Brick:** Macy, we're sorry.
**Macy:** Are you though? Are you sorry, Brick? Because it doesn't seem like it. If you were truly sorry, you would have told me and we would have worked with Skyla! As a 7!
**Alexis:** Macy, we can't redo the vote. Please, just accept it. Somebody from the other alliance went out anyways.
**Macy:** Fine, we can talk more in the morning. Please know that you've ruined your games. You lost a true ally in me.

They walk back. Now, Skyla, Abbey and James want to talk privately, so they walk away so nobody can hear them talking.

**Abbey:**Skyla, I'm not angry. I'm just frustrated.
**Skyla:** At me?
**Abbey:** At the whole situation.
**James:** What made you flip? We were allies since Day 1. Remember The Core Four?
**Skyla:** I didn't want to be in the minority alliance. We didn't have the numbers. I needed to save my ass.
**Abbey:** Okay. That's fair. I'm still annoyed, but fair.
**Skyla:** Let's just go back to camp, we can figure something out in the morning.
**James:** Can we though? I don't think we can trust you.
**Skyla:** Whatever James.

They return to the original Qutana alliance discussing the vote. When they come back, everybody decides to go to sleep, as it was a big night. Everybody falls asleep, apart from Macy who walks to the beach. She stares at the moon for a long time, before going back.

### Day 22

Despite going to bed the latest, Macy wakes up first. It's clear that she's struggling with last night's blindside. She walks over the fire and starts cooking rice. After a while, Alexis wakes up. Macy gives her some rice and they maturely discuss the game.

**Macy:** So, how are you feeling.
**Alexis:** Alright. How about you?
**Macy:**I'm feeling better.
**Alexis:** Hey, I'm sorry about last night. I should have told you. That's totally on me.
**Macy:**I accept your apology. Thank you.

The rest of the tribe wake up and start eating the rice Macy cooked. They all sit in silence. It was clear everybody felt awkward. Once everybody had finished, Skyla and Kyle walked to the well, and Brick and Alexis went fishing, leaving everybody left out of the plan at camp.

**Macy:** So, we're gonna form a counter alliance, right?
**Abbey:** Well, that's logical.
**Natasha:** If our alliances form as one, it'd be 5-4.
**Chase:** Exactly.
**James:** So, who would we go after first?
**Macy:** I don't mind, but I was thinking Skyla. She was the person to pull off the move.
**Abbey:** That makes sense. What if an idol comes into play?
**Macy:** We can talk about that later. Let's just make sure everybody's on board with the alliance.
**Abbey:** Oh, of course.
**James:**I mean, we have the majority so I'm down.
**Natasha:** Same here.
**Chase:** Okay. Look's like we're the new majority!

The new alliance splits and walks off. Natasha and Abbey go for a swim on the beach. They talk about their experiences. Abbey as a famous football player and Natasha as a famous Youtuber. This is clearly something they can bond over. James, Chase and Macy go and collect coconuts for the tribe. While all of this is happening, Alexis, Brick, Kyle and Skyla meet and talk about their plans.

They form a circle and start chatting about their feelings.

**Alexis:** So, what's the plan?
**Brick:** Well, we obviously need one more person. Who should that be?
**Skyla:** James and Abbey no longer trust me, so they're off the table.
**Kyle:** Same with Nat. She's an emotional player, and she's angry. She'll never work with us again. I think Chase could be open to working with us.
**Alexis:** True! He worked with you on the swapped tribes, right?
**Kyle:** Yeah. He also worked with Brick and I on the original Qutana.
**Skyla:** Okay, that makes sense. He's the best option. Who should talk to him?
**Kyle:** I think Alexis has the best social game out of the four of us. She could probably convince him the easiest.
**Alexis:** You think so?
**Kyle:** Yeah, of course.
**Alexis:** Okay, I'll talk to him.

Alexis grabs Chase as he returns to camp from collecting coconuts. They walk away from everybody and sit by a near tree. Chase looks confused as they have never really worked together.

**Chase:** Why do you want to work with me all of a sudden?
**Alexis:** I mean, I like you. I just wanted to see where your head is at. Last Tribal was pretty crazy.
**Chase:** Yeah, well I'm pretty overwhelmed at the moment.
**Alexis:** Yeah, me too. I understand.
**Chase:** So what about you?
**Alexis:** Annoyed, frustrated. All of the emotions.
**Chase:** Oh really?
**Alexis:** Yeah. This game tests you mentally, and after a massive night, I'm feeling loads of emotions.
**Chase:** Mhmm. Well, I assume you want me to join your alliance.
**Alexis:** Yeah. And let me pitch my case, We're threats. Brick, physically. Kyle, strategically. Skyla and I, socially. You can use us as shields. Plus, you've worked with Kyle and Brick before.
**Chase:** I don't want to be fifth in the alliance though.
**Alexis:** Oh trust me, you won't. I want to take you to the end with me, and I really mean that. I've never offered a final 2 deal with anybody.
**Chase:** How can I trust you?
**Alexis:** I mean, every promise I've made I've followed through with.
**Chase:** Except for the Qutana alliance.
**Alexis:** That was an alliance. This is a promise. You have my word. I swear on my girlfriend that I will work with you. You know how much she means to me.
**Chase:** Alright. I'll think about it.
**Alexis:** That's all I ask.​​​​

After these sequence of strategic events, Natasha and James were seen collecting coconuts. They barely talked about the game, and when they did, they just agreed that the counter alliance was a good idea. They were enjoying each others company. They discussed their jobs, their personal life, their families, and got to know each other. Once they had collected enough coconuts, they walked back to camp and ate them.

### Day 23

The tribes wake up on Day 23. While they eat breakfast, Chase goes to collect the tree mail. When he opens it, he notices 9 envelopes, each labelled with the remaining castaway's names. When he finds his one, labelled Chase, he opens it. When he looks inside he almost jumps with joy. He finds $500 dollars. Knowing this meant the auction was coming up, he ran back to camp. When he arrived, he told them what he had found, and they all celebrated. They opened their envelopes and hugged each other. They soon walked to the auction together.

When they arrive, they see Jeff at the auction stand. They all smile and take a seat. Jeff addresses them and lets them know that they will be participating in the Survivor Auction. He explains that they will bid on items, in $20 increments. The auction will end randomly, so if they see something they like they should bid on it. Jeff then brings out the first item. A berry smoothie.

**Natasha:** $60!
**Macy:** $80!
**Natasha:** $100!
**Macy:** $200!
**Natasha:** Woah, chill girl. $220.
**Macy:** $300.
**Natasha:** Have it.
**Jeff:** Going once, going twice, SOLD TO MACY!

Macy then collects her smoothie. She returns to the bench and starts drinking it. Jeff then brings out the next item for bid.

**Jeff:** A large jar of M&Ms.
**James:** What? That's a massive jar!
**Alexis:** $80.
**Natasha:** $140.
**Alexis:** $200. I'm not going any higher.
**Skyla:** $240!
**Natasha:** Since when have you been bidding on this?
**Skyla:** Since now.
**Jeff:** Going once, going twice...
**Natasha:** $260!
**Skyla:** Oh my god! Just give up already! $360
**Natasha:** $400.
**Skyla:** $440.
**Jeff:** Going once, going twice, SOLD TO SKYLA!

Skyla excitedly collects her jar of M&Ms. She sits down while Jeff brings out the next item. A Hawaiian pizza. It was a close race between Natasha and Alexis, but Alexis came out on top and spent $380.

**Natasha:** Why can't I get anything!?

Jeff then brings out the next item, however, it remains covered. Natasha instantly bids $500, in a desperate attempt to buy something, she walks up and Jeff lifts the cover. A scroll is shown!

**Natasha:** I spent $500 for a target on my back. Great.
**Jeff:** This is an idol clue.

This gets a large reaction from the contestants

**Jeff:** However, there is a twist. You can either keep this for yourself, but you cannot tell anybody what the clue says, or read it to everybody now.
**Natasha:** Oh my god, I don't know what to do. I don't want a target on me.
**Macy:** It's your choice, Nat.
**Natasha:** Okay, I'll read it to everybody. *North of the bed, hidden low on the ground, an idol will rest, waiting to be found.*
**Chase:** Woah, okay.
**Jeff:** Alright, please return to your seats, the auction will continue.

Jeff brings out the next item, which is a plate of steak. Kyle and Brick both bid on it, but Brick outbids him, spending $440. The next item is covered, however, people are reluctant to spend their money after the last covered item. In the end, Chase sends $120 to buy it. Jeff gives him a choice to switch, but he doesn't, which proves to be a mistake. Jeff opens the item and reveals a plate of beetles and grubs, which Chase doesn't even collect.

**Jeff:** You don't want them? I made them specifically for you.
**Chase:** No Jeff, I don't want them.

Jeff then showed what he could have switched for. It was a slice of chocolate cake. He then puts it up for bid. Skyla tries bidding against Abbey, buts she quickly runs out of money. When it seems like Abbey will get the item, Kyle comes in and buys it.

**Jeff:** The next item is a special one. Here I have letters from your families.
**Alexis (with pizza in her mouth):**$120. That's all I have. I want to hear from my girlfriend.
**James:** Sorry Lexis. I want to hear from my boyfriend. $140.
**Abbey:** I want to hear from my dad. $160.
**James:** You know what? I'm so sorry. $500.
**Jeff:** Woah, okay. Sold to James!

Jeff hands James the letter. He starts reading it aloud, halfway through James starts crying.

*Hey James,*

*I'm so proud of you. Being on Survivor isn't easy, especially when you've made it this far. Just know that I'm always here to support you, and I'm rooting for you. You're a strong person, and I know you can keep going. You can make it to the end and win the money. It won't be easy, but I believe in you. We love you so much and we know you can do it!*

*I love you so much, Harry.*

**James:** I love him so much.
**Jeff:**And with that, this auction is now closed.
**Abbey:** What? I haven't spent my money!
**Jeff:** Your problem, not mine. I'll see you at the next immunity challenge.

#### Alitana Camp

When the contestants return to camp, everybody searches for the idol. A few people look north of the shelter, while others search north of the flower bed. Natasha runs that route. She looks on the ground for the idol. She searches under leaves, buried by a big tree, pretty much everywhere.

Natasha is shown to be searching more. Brick is shown, and then a few other people. It is then revealed that somebody found it...

A clip, edited in a flashback style, of Alexis finding the idol, is shown. She searched north of the shelter, in a bush on the ground. When she finds it she punches the air and stuffs it in her clothing, she starts heading back, pretending to still be searching.

After a while, people stop searching and give up. The two main alliances group up and talk about it. Skyla, Alexis, Brick and Kyle walk to the well, while Chase, Macy, Abbey, Natasha and James stay at camp. Alexis' alliance reaches the well and she tells them about the idol.

**Skyla:** Did you guys find it?
**Alexis:** Mhmm.
**Kyle:** You found it?
**Alexis:** Yes!
**Brick:** That's amazing!
**Alexis:** Okay, okay. I promise I will use it for this alliance. I'm not about to steal it and use it for myself.
**Skyla:** We know you won't.
**Kyle:** So, will we use it at Tribal?
**Brick:** It depends if Chase is gonna flip.
**Skyla:** If we think Chase will flip, then we won't use it?
**Alexis:** Correct.
**Skyla:**Okay. Sounds good.

On the other side of the camp, the other alliance talks about the idol. Obviously, nobody claims they have it, because they do not.

**Abbey:** Did anybody find it?
**Natasha:** No, and I'm f\*\*\*\*\*\* annoyed because I bought it.
**Chase:** Yeah, I didn't find it either.
**James:** I didn't find it.
**Macy:** That means one of them found it.
**Abbey:** Damn.
**Macy:** Okay, at Tribal, who would they play it on?
**James:** Well, I'm thinking either Brick or Alexis found it, and they're likely to save each other.
**Chase:** Brick is most likely going to win immunity, let's assume he does. Who would they play it on then?
**Natasha:** If Brick has it, he would still play it on 'Lexis. If she has it, then I think she'd play it on Skyla.
**Macy:** So then we vote for Kyle? Correct?
**Abbey:** I assume so.
**Macy:** Alright.

The alliances break off and they walk back to camp. It's getting late, so they cook some rice and eat it. After a while, they go to sleep.

### Day 24

The tribe wakes up and gets the tree mail. Once done, they walk to the next immunity challenge where they meet Jeff. He explains that they will race to collect bags, and then untie them. Inside will be a ring, and they will have to throw it onto a pole. However, there will be one less pole. Meaning each round somebody will be eliminated. This will continue until only one person is left, and they will win immunity.

In a series of rounds, the castaways fight to win immunity. For the first few rounds, it's always very close. However, when people start to get tired, Abbey, Macy, Brick and Kyle are always the people in front. The final 2 ends up being Abbey and Brick, where Brick wins immunity.

**Jeff:** Brick wins immunity, a guaranteed 1 in 8 chance of winning this game!

**Round 1:** Natasha eliminated.
**Round 2:**Skyla eliminated.
**Round 3:**Chase eliminated.
**Round 4:**Alexis eliminated.
**Round 5:** James eliminated.
**Round 6:**Macy eliminated.
**Round 7:** Kyle eliminated.
**Round 8:** Abbey eliminated.

Once they return to camp, pairs walk off. Skyla and Alexis, Macy and Abbey, Natasha, James and Chase, Kyle and Brick. Most people aren't talking strategy, but a few are.

**Skyla:** So are you gonna use that idol tonight?
**Alexis:** Hopefully I don't have to. I guess I just need to talk to Chase.
**Skyla:** Why don't we all talk to him? Like, as an alliance?
**Alexis:** Alright, let's go get Brick and Kyle.

The alliance of Kyle, Skyla, Brick and Alexis walk to camp. Chase is sitting there with a few other people, however, nobody is talking. They collect Chase and they walk far away from everybody else.

**Chase:** You want me to vote with you guys?
**Kyle:** Well, yeah.
**Brick:** We've worked with you before and we want to work with you now.
**Chase:** I don't know how I can trust you. You left me out of the vote last Tribal.
**Kyle:** I know, and we regret it. We realised we made a big mistake.
**Skyla:** I've never been on the same tribe as you, but from what I've heard you're a great player.
**Brick:** Exactly.
**Chase:** Well, I'll think about it. I still don't know who I'm voting with.
**Alexis:** Take all the time you need.

Chase walks back, leaving the alliance by themselves. They discuss the idol. They come to the conclusion that Alexis holds it, so it's her decision: whether she wants to play it and who she wants to play it on. Macy walks along the beach, collecting firewood. She then takes her idol out of her pocket and stares at it, pondering whether she wants to use it.

The tribe then comes back to camp. They grab their torches and head to Tribal Council.

### Tribal Council

When they arrive, they meet Jeff. They all sit down in their seats and face him. He looks over at the jury seats and calls for Wilbur.

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

He asks how the tribe is getting on after last Tribal's blindside. Nobody answers so Jeff calls on Chase.

**Chase:** Well, it depends on who you ask. People like James, Macy and myself, we're a bit annoyed that we were left out of the vote. However, if you ask Alexis or Kyle, they're doing fine. Personally, I think that if you mix us together it's an odd environment. It's a bit awkward.
**Jeff:** I see. What about the idol clue at the auction? Who has it?
**Abbey:** We don't know, Jeff. Ask God.

Everybody starts laughing at this statement.

**Jeff:** So James, where do you stand amongst all this chaos?
**James:** To be honest, I have no idea. I think I have an alliance, but I thought I had an alliance last time and then Skyla flipped and Wilbur got sent to the Jury. I have no idea what's about to happen.
**Jeff:** And with that, it's time to vote. Alexis, you're up first tonight.

Alexis casts her vote and then sits back down. James votes, then Natasha, and then Skyla. It's Chase's turn, so he walks up to the booth.

The rest of the contestants vote. Brick, Abbey, Macy, and then Kyle. Once all the votes have been cast, Jeff collects them. He walks back.

**Jeff:** If anybody has a hidden immunity idol, and would like to play it, now would be the time to do so.

The camera focuses on Macy and Alexis, while everybody else looks at the others. Alexis subtly shakes her head to Skyla, Brick and Kyle.

**Jeff:** Alright, I'll read the votes.

First Vote: Macy (1)

Macy (2)

Macy looks nervous.

Macy (3)

Macy (4)

Kyle (4-1)

Kyle (4-2)

Kyle squeezes Alexis' hand because he is nervous.

Kyle (4-3)

Kyle (4-4)

That's four votes Macy, four votes Kyle, one vote left...

Seventh Person Voted Out Of Survivor: Guam...

**MACY**

Macy sits in shock, while her alliance looks confused. Alexis, Brick, Kyle and Skyla clap and jump in their seats. The other alliance looks over at them, shocked.

**Macy:** Dumbasses.
**Abbey:** Who flipped?
**Chase:** Me, I flipped.
**James:** What the f\*\*\*?
**Alexis:** Thank you so much, Chase!
**Skyla:** Chase, I love you.
**Natasha:** Dang. Blindsided twice in a row.
**Abbey:** Chase, why?

**Jeff:**Macy, I need your torch.
**Macy:** Oh, yeah. Sorry.

Macy stands up and grabs her torch. Jeff snuffs it and she walks out. Wilbur is shown looking extremely confused. Macy then yells back, "For the record, I had an idol!". The other castaways looked shocked by this, as she told nobody. Macy then walks to ponderosa. Jeff looks back at the tribe and sends them back to camp, after yet, another blindside.

 Macy (5)
 Kyle (4)
