## Story

### KUSAIE

As the episode starts we only see four figures walking in the Kusaie's camp while the moon is high at the sky. The remaining four castaways on the tribe arrive at their camp in total silence after another unexpected vote. Vince is the one to break the silence.

**Vince:** And then there were four. *(placing his torch against a tree)*

**Isaac:** Yes, good job on making to half the stay on this game everyone.

Everyone proceeds to the shelter, Carly sits on the edge of the shelter as she starts playing with her hair. Isaac and Vince decide to start the fire again for the night while Cameron stands still, looking everything around him.

As Cameron decides to lay in the shelter a bit, Isaac and Vince whisper near the fire.

**Vince (whispering):** You did the right thing tonight.

**Isaac:** Sure, don't worry, it's me and you to the end.

Vince smirks and nods as the camera focuses on Isaac who looks very serious about what he is saying.

Vince and Isaac are still talking near the fire about the future of their games.

**Vince:** If we don't merge tomorrow I think we only have one more challenge in our way.

**Isaac:** Yes, it's going to be me and you to the end. We can bring Carly with us and I have some connections with some people on the old Kusaie tribe, like Daniel, we can reel him in as well.

**Vince (smirking):** Of course, everything to get the numbers on our side.

**Isaac (smiling):** Great. I guess we have a plan.

Vince smirks once again as they both shake their hands with the camera focusing on Vince's face.

Now the four members of the tribe are around the fire as Vince gives a speech about tribe union.

**Vince:** So, it's clear that we had our fights and conflicts, but I think that at the same time we went through a lot together. I mean, we didn't win one challenge and if we merge tomorrow I do believe the other tribe will come gun-blazing against us.

**Isaac:** And they do have majority.

**Vince:** Exactly if we group together we can protect ourselves for whatever is waiting out there.

**Isaac (smiling):** I couldn't agree more.

**Carly:** I'm down for it as well.

Vince then looks to Cameron waiting for an answer but the boy takes his time to say something.

**Isaac (frowning):** Cam?

**Cameron:** Sorry. It's obvious that the three of you are a team for some time and I'm just the outsider. I really don't see myself belonging in this group and if this means I'll be the next one to go, then be it. I just prefer to play this game by my own now.

Cameron finishes his speech and stands up to go back to the shelter where he was before.

**Vince:** Can't say I didn't expect it. *(chuckling)*

**Carly:** Who cares. As he said, if we don't merge and lose again at least we have an easy vote-off.

Vince nods as Isaac stares seriously to the shelter.

The focus now switches to Cameron laying in the shelter with his eyes open as he seems to be thinking about all his options on the game.

The camera then slowly transitions to the moon shining in the sky as a peaceful music plays before cutting to the opening credits of the show.

### KUSAIE

A new day is born on the Micronesian islands. As the sun shines bright in the sky Carly and Vince are seen making their way to tree mail to check if there's any news.

**Vince:** Do you think we are merging?

**Carly:** I certainly hope so.

**Vince (smirking):** Why are you so desperate like this?

**Carly (smiling):** Nothing, I just really hope we merge. Living here is starting to get boring, you know?

Vince nods as Carly keeps giving her famous "flirtatious smile".

As Carly opens tree mail she sees a note inside it.

**Carly:** That's definitively something.

**Vince:** If we are merging, do you think we can really trust Isaac? And the old Weno tribe?

**Carly (honestly):** After all Isaac's done if he doesn't side with us he is stupid. About the others, I really don't know. They hate me, so it's going to be up to you to get them with us.

**Vince:** True. Well, I saved them once, they own me one. *(chuckles)*

**Carly (sassily):** Sure. And I bet you have some tricks hidden in your sleeves as well.

Vince chuckles a bit more as Carly keeps smirking to the race-car driver.

The two of them are seen heading back to camp and Vince is the one leading the way with Carly right behind him with a big smirk on her face. The scene then changes to Isaac and Cameron waiting back at camp for the latest news.

**Isaac:** So, do you think we are merging? *(breaking the silence)*

**Cameron (honestly):** I hope so. I guess it's no secret I'll be the one leaving in case we lose this next challenge.

Isaac notices Cameron is quite sad about being on the bottom and tries to cheer him up.

**Isaac (comforting):** Look man, I'm sorry I had to do this. It's a game, you know? You have to make choices...

**Cameron:** I understand. You made your choice, I just hope you understand the consequences now.

Isaac sighs and nods as he didn't expect Cameron to be so closed with him after his decision.

**Isaac (comforting):** Well, it's not over yet, Cam, anything can happen.

Cameron sighs and nods as he agrees with what Isaac is saying. The camera then proceeds to focus on Carly and Vince arriving back at camp while we hear Isaac's confessional.

Now the whole tribe is reunited as Carly reads the tree-mail note with a smile on her face.

**Carly (smiling):** Congratulations, you have reached a new phase in this game. Grab all of your stuff and make your way to the Weno tribe camp, new instructions await you there. Good Luck.

Everyone cheers as they know this means a merge.

**Carly:** If that doesn't mean merge, I don't know what it means!

Vince quickly starts to pack all of the stuff from the Kusaie tribe as everyone starts running around excited about the impending merge. We see Carly hugging Vince behind the shelter and Cameron picking up the fishing gear with a big smile on his face.

Right after Cameron's confessional the camera starts to zoom out to show an aerial view of the Kusaie camp before transitioning to the Weno camp.

### WENO

The happy song that was playing on Kusaie's camp quickly becomes darker as wee see Frank walking on the tree-mail path alone with a serious face.

**Frank (talking to himself):** Let's check this tree-mail thing, since no one else wants to do it. (*rolls his eyes)*

The focus then goes back to camp where the other five members of Weno are awaiting for Frank and the news.

**Hailey (exicted):** Imagine if we are merging today. How could it would be?

**John:** Yeah, it would be awesome. A new phase in this crazy game. *(chuckles a bit)*

Everyone nods as they can't hide their excitement about the probable merge. The view highlights John who keeps talking with Hailey and the rest of the group, discussing who they think left the game the night before.

As the group of five keep talking waiting on Frank, John decides to speak up.

**John (jokingly):** Ladies and gentlemen, may I have a second of your attention, please?

Everyone stops talking to hear what John has to say as we hear some chuckles about his formal way of pronouncing it.

**John (in a more serious tone):** So, I think we've been living together for too long since the swap and it's pretty clear that we get along very well. So, if the merge is indeed coming we should group together to protect ourselves from whatever we may have to face. We have a tight group of five right here, it's already half of the people, there's no way we lose it.

Everyone listens closely and some nod, agreeing with what John has to say.

**Deanna (nodding):** I really do like the idea. We have five solid votes here, I'm down for it.

**John:** Okay, well, before Frank comes back, do we have an agreement then?

**Nicole (smiling):** Count me in.

**Daniel (nodding):** I don't see why not.

Hailey also nods and agrees as John smiles, glad that his plan worked.

**John (jokingly):** Great then, we just need an alliance name and we are set!

Everyone chuckles as the camera focuses on Daniel's face, who is enjoying their group talk.

After Daniel's confessional we see Hailey winking to Nicole and then Nicole smiles back. However the scene is interrupted with Frank's arrival.

**Daniel:** Look, I guess that's our big man Frank. *(pointing)*

Frank smiles as he is seen carrying a note but then the camera shows us once again Hailey, smiling.

Now the music starts to get more heroic as Frank reads the note on the paper, while everyone pays attention to the words that come out of his mouth.

**Frank:** Congratulations, you have reached a new phase in this game. Be ready to welcome some new guests for the rest of your stay here. Good Luck.

The tribe cheers as they know what the note means. We see Deanna hugging Hailey and then Frank giving a "Tarzan-scream".

**John:** Grats everyone, final ten is no joke.

**Hailey (excited):** Let's go to the beach, they must be arriving at any second.

Everyone joins Hailey as they stroll down to the beach where a beautiful picnic area was prepared. As they walk the beach we once again hear Hailey's confessional, while the heroic music keeps playing.

Quickly after Hailey's confessional the episode show us various shots of a boat making his way through the ocean, carrying the four remaining members of the Kusaie tribe. As soon as Nicole sees the boat she screams to let her tribemates know new people are arriving.

**Nicole (screaming):** Here they come! *(pointing)*

Smiles are seen in everyone's faces as the music gets extra happy and heroic. We see Vince, Cameron, Carly and Isaac waving from the boat as the six castaways on the beach start jumping and cheering. As soon as the boat arrives at the beach the four castaways jump off it to celebrate the merge with the remaining players.

**Cameron (happy):** Damn, long time, no see! *(hugging Hailey)*

We see Isaac shakign hands with Daniels as old allies reunite. After that we see John greeting Vince and wondering where Brooke is.

**John (curious/confused):** Man, where is Brooke?

**Vince (sincere):** She had to go dude, she had to go...

John nods as he tries to understand the situation and then suddenly puts a smile back on his face, pretending nothing happened.

Now everyone is reunited around the picnic area, with a big chest right in the middle of the ten of them.

**Vince:** Should I have the honor? *(holding the wine bottle)*

**Deanna:** Go ahead, please, sir.

Vince opens the wine bottle and a round of applause is heard. Then Vince starts to pour down some wine to everyone on the tribe as the mood around camp continues to fly high.

**Vince:** A toast for the final ten castaways on this game!

**Everyone (toasting):** Final ten!

Everyone cheers as the camera focuses on Vince drinking from his cup.

As the castaways finished toasting Deanna quickly opens the big chest on the center and grabs a note that it's inside it.

**Deanna (reading):** Congratulations, you have merged. A new phase of the game has just started, enjoy the feast and start metting your new tribe mates. Good luck.

Everyone cheers once again as Deanna picks up bright yellow buffs from inside the chest and starts throwing them to everyone on the tribe.

**Carly:** Yay, I love Yellow. *(as she seductively wears her new buff)*

We see Daniel throwing away his old buff and placing the yellow merged buff on his head with a big smile on his face.

The castaways now try to decide a name for the merged tribe, as everyone is eager to start the eating.

**Daniel:** So, any suggestion about the tribe name?

**Isaac:** We could always go for something like Wensaie, or Kuno. I don't know.

**Hailey:** No, that's too generic, let's think of something special. This season is special you guys! *(smiling)*

**Nicole (nodding):** She is right, we need to think something.

**Cameron:** I was thinking about "Islas". It means islands in spanish, and as we are in Oceania, I think it would fit.

**Nicole (smiling):** Oh, I like the sound of "Islas"

**Vince:** It's a deal for me.

**Cameron:** So Islas it is!

As all the castaways agreed on the name they join their hands to give a big: "One, two, three, ISLAS!" and then the camera cuts to Cameron's confessional.

The music gets happier as never before as we see the castaways starting to eat the big feast that was prepared for them. Shots of the players putting everything they can inside their mouths are shown as every single one of them is smiling at the fact they are actually having something to fill their stomach.

**Vince:** Can you pass me that precious thing? *(pointing at the wine bottle)*

**Hailey (smiling):** Here you go, man. *(passing the wine bottle)*

We see Vince taking a big gulp of wine with a big smirk on his face. As he does so he looks around to see eveyrone talking an enjoying their merge feast.

After Vince's confessional we see a big shot of the sun and when the camera goes down it shows us that the merge feast has already come to an end and the castaways are back at camp doing their new chores as the Islas tribe. Working near the shelter we see Daniel, Isaac and Cameron.

**Daniel:** We definitively need some more space here.

**Cameron (joking):** True. Or maybe we could all cuddle together at night.

Daniel and Isaac laugh at Cameron's remark as the three boys decide their new plan to improve the shelter. The camera focuses on Daniel talking, but we can't hear what he is saying, instead we hear his confessional.

The three men are seen working on chopping bamboo pieces and improving the shelter roof. Daniel is the one who bring sup the game talk.

**Daniel:** So, how have things been at old and good Kusaie? *(as he chops a piece of bamboo)*

The music gets a little bit quirky as Cameron looks to Isaac waiting to see what his response is.

**Isaac:** I guess it has been fine. We had our ups and downs, but I definitively think we should get together for this merge phase.

Cameron is seen raising his eyebrows as he keeps listening to the conversation.

**Daniel:** True. I mean, for me, the original Kusaie needs to stick together. Us three plus the girls and we are set in stone for this merge.

**Isaac (avoiding the idea):** I agree, but, I mean, can we trust them? I know it would be ideal to work as the old Kusaie group, but we may need to change our game perspective a little.

**Daniel (confused):** And what do you have in mind?

**Isaac:** Back at the new Kusaie tribe, I made a deal with Vince so he would keep me and Cameron safe and he seems like a trustworthy guy. He has connections, we could use his vote and his power for now to adnvace ouserlves in the game.

Cameron shakes his head as Daniel stares at Isaac with a confused glance.

The view goes back to the three boys talking while working on the shelter. No one is around but Isaac keeps looking behind to see if someone is approaching.

**Daniel (unsure):** Are you sure we can trust these guys?

**Isaac:** Vince gave me his word and with Carly voting alongside us we already have five here.

**Daniel:** I still think that the girls are a safer route.

**Isaac (pushing):** I really feel we can't trust Deanna and Hailey anymore. Hailey it's too close with Nicole and that could be dangerous for our game.

As Isaac and Daniel keep discussing about their future in the game, Cameron listens to everything quietly while placing some leaves in the roof of the shelter.

After Isaac finishes explaining his plans, Daniel asks for Cameron's opinion.

**Daniel:** And you, Cam, what do you think? Vince is trustworthy?

**Cameron (sincere):** I really don't know. He doesn't send me good vibes.

Isaac shakes his head, pissed off at Cameron.

**Isaac:** Look, this is a game, we need to make some maneuvers, not everything here it's going to be totally safe and sound.

**Daniel:** We can talk about this later, but if you want to know my opinion Isaac, I don't think this will work out right.

Isaac shakes his head and turns his sight away as we see Deanna dropping a pile of wood near the shelter. The camera then focuses on Daniel, seriously working on building the shelter before airing his confessional.

A big coconut tree is highlighted as we see a coconut dropping in the ground before the scene cuts to Nicole and Carly sitting near a pond, washing some pots and utensils.

**Carly (friendly):** So girl, how has things been?

**Nicole:** Just fine. What about you? What can you tell me? *(smiling)*

**Carly:** Things have been fine as well. I mean, it sucks to keep losing challenges, but other than that, I'm glad I'm here for the merge.

Nicole nods and smiles after the camera switches to Carly's face so we can hear her confessional.

The two girls continue having their conversation as we see Carly struggling to wash the pot in her hands.

**Nicole (interested):** And how did the two vote offs go for you?

**Carly (mysterious):** It was pretty simple. We had to get rid of Stephen and Brooke looking out for the best of Weno, but one thing really leaves me worried.

**Nicole (curious):** What?

**Carly (faking sadness):** I don't want to say anything bad, but I'm not sure I we can trust Vince anymore. He seems to be hiding something, and I can't find out out what.

The music gets tenser as Nicole keeps hearing every word that comes out of Carly's mouth.

**Carly:** I don't know...I just feel insecure.

**Nicole (nodding):** I get what you are saying. Vince always felt like a big time schemer for me.

Carly nods and smiles before it cuts to Nicole's confessional.

As the scene goes back to the two girls we see Carly giving up on her chore with a tired face.

**Carly (whining):** I'm done with this. Really, I just can't anymore...

Carly stands up and pats her butt to clean it.

**Nicole:** Yeah, this is pretty boring.

**Carly (bluntly):** I'm gonna go back to camp and see if I can get some tanning on. Working really isn't for me.

Carly leaves Nicole alone as the camera focuses on the blonde woman rolling her eyes and shaking her head.

The camera keeps showing us Nicole washing the pots with a serious face for some time before it cuts to the sky.

### DAY 21

We see the day go by and then a big shot of the sun shining on the merged tribe camp, meaning the arrival of day 21, is shown to the viewers. The scene we see is Frank and Vince walking in the middle of trees, talking and picking up some branches for the fire.

**Frank:** Man, I'm glad we survived the swap.

**Vince:** Yeah, me too. The game is on! *(chuckling)*

Frank is seen chuckling a little as the camera focuses on his big smirk.

As the boys take a break from walking and lean against a tree, Frank decides to bring up the game talk.

**Frank (worried):** Anyway, dude, there's something I wanted to tell you.

**Vince:** What's up? Bad or good news? *(smiling)*

**Frank (warning):** Bad. It's about John and Nicole. I think they might be coming after you.

A gong is heard in the background as the smile in Vince's face vanishes.

**Vince:** Really? Why? You heard them say anything? *(raising his eyebrow)*

**Frank (nodding):** Yeah. I think they are scared of you, or something like this, but I thought this was playing the wrong way here. We have an alliance, they can't go behind your back like this.

**Vince (thinking):** Yeah...It seems like your my only ally here.

Frank nods as the camera shows us Vince thinking about what Frank just said before cutting to the surfer's confessional.

As the two men arrive at camp and drop a pile of branches and wood near the fire place, the camera focuses on Vince's face as he talks to John.

**Vince:** John, do you want to help me get some water? While I'm still in a good will to go back there? *(joking)*

**John (smiling):** Okay, I'll join you in this adventure.

The camera focuses on Vince smiling before cutting to his confessional.

The focus now is on John and Vince filling a bucket of water to take back to camp as John notices Vince wants to talk with him about something.

**John:** So, I guess you want to talk about something. What's up?

**Vince (bluntly):** Yeah, I actually do. I'm gonna be very direct here, Frank just told me you and Nicole were plotting against me.

A gong is heard in the background and John raises his eyebrows, surprised by what Vince has just said.

**John (surprised):** He did?...Well man, I can guarantee to you that's not true.

**Vince (sincere):** I thought so, that's why I came to check with you. Well, then I guess Frank is really playing this game harsh, dude. *(chuckles a bit)*

**John:** I can't say I didn't expect it.

Vince nods as we once again hear his confessional.

The two guys now walk back to camp carrying the buckets full of water as John tells Vince what happened back at the Weno camp after the swap.

**John:** Frank did the same kind of thing when we arrived back at the beach. He said to everyone that wanted to listen me and Nicole were nothing but liars. I guess he really holds a grudge against us.

**Vince (nodding):** He does. I feel like he is more of a problem to us than anyone else here now.

John nods and agrees as we see both of them walking toward camp.

After John's last word the audience is shown various shots of Frank going around camp talking with people, sharing all kind of lies.

**Frank (to Deanna and Hailey):** I really do think John found an idol back at our camp. He is definitively hiding something.

**Frank (to Daniel):** Vince is the biggest player out here, and from what I heard he is coming for you.

**Frank (to Cameron):** I know you don't trust Vince and I just wanted to tell you I'm with you on that. He, Nicole and John have a little group and I thought you should know that.

Cameron is seen nodding as after all this scenes we finally hear what Frank has to say.

The camera focuses a little bit more on Frank's smirking face as he walks around camp as the music gets to a tense ending and the show cuts to break.

When the show returns we are shown a big aerial view of the Micronesian forest as the camera quickly zooms in at the area of the first immunity challenge. We see ten individual stations in front of Jeff Probst and an yellow mat in the ground, awaiting for the final ten castaways in the game as the music gets as heroic as never before.

**Probst:** Come on in guys!

The ten castaways appear walking in a line wearing their new yellow buffs as we see Hailey carrying the tribal immunity idol with a smile on her face.

**Probst:** Are you guys ready to get to today's challenge? First things first, Hailey, I'll take it back.

Probst walks to Hailey so she can give him the tribal idol and then Jeff places him under a small pole that supports the immunity necklace.

**Probst:** Tribal immunity, no more, now what you seek is this.

Jeff reveals the beautiful tribal necklace. A native shaped necklace with coconut husks weaved together with a shell in the middle. As the necklace appear all the castaways cheer and applaud, excited to make a new phase in the game.

**Probst:** After twenty days out here, the tool that this game has taken on your bodies is evident. Today we are going to see what it's done to your mind.

Jeff then proceeds to explain the challenge rules as everyone listens closely.

**Probst:** Last person left standing wins immunity. Safe at the vote guaranteed one in nine shots at winning this game. Losers, Tribal Council where someone will be voted out. We'll draw for spot and get it started.

The camera zooms out to show us the ten stations again and then it zooms in to when all the castaways are ready to start the challenge, each one of them in their station.

**Probst:** Alright, here we go, first round. Yellow, Blue, Red, Green and that's it. Let's go, grab your first color.

Everyone gets the first color right as Jeff asks them to proceed to the second one. Everybody places the blue tile, minus Carly who accidentally drops the red one.

**Probst:** Everybody says blue, except from Carly. Carly you are the first person out of this challenge.

Carly nods as rolls her eyes as she makes her way to the out of the challenge bench. Jeff asks for the third color in the sequence and everyone places the red tile, minus Frank.

**Probst:** Everybody says red, except from Frank and Deanna who said green. It's not right, the correct color was red, Frank and Deanna are out of this challenge.

Frank shakes his head in anger and joins Carly in the bench as Deanna smiles at her failure and also sits on the bench. Seven castaways still remain.

In the last color everyone places it correctly saying green, meaning Jeff can move on to the second round.

**Probst:** Okay, here we go, next round. Red, Green, Purple, Black, Blue, Green, Blue. Alright, let's do it. Everybody drop your first color.

The seven castaways get it right again as everyone says red. In the second color everyone is right again with green. And it happens again on the third color as everyone places the purple tile. And again for the black tile and the blue tile, no one messed up in this second round so far. Then Jeff asks for the following color in the sequence and finally we have some different answers.

**Probst:** Hailey, Vince and Nicole said green. Daniel, John and Isaac said yellow. Cameron said red. And the correct answer is:....Green. That means Hailey, Vince and Nicole move on and Daniel, John, Isaac and Cameron are out of this challenge. We are down to three.

We see Hailey smiling at her correct answer and the four eliminated men shaking their heads in disappointed, Cameron is the only one surprised at how far he came. Jeff then asks for the last color in the sequence, raising up the tension and then three different colors appear.

**Probst:** We have three different answers. Vince said red, Hailey said blue and Nicole has yellow. The correct answer is:..................................................Blue. Vince and Nicole are wrong. Hailey wins immunity!

Vince smiles and shakes his head as we see Hailey cheering and jumping in her station before Nicole comes to hug her. The music comes back to be heroic as Hailey can't believe she won the first individual challenge of the season.

**Probst:** Hailey, come on over!

Hailey hugs Nicole once again and then makes her way to Jeff as everyone applauds her performance in the challenge.

**Probst:** The first immunity is yours, congratulations. *(putting the necklace on Hailey)*

**Hailey (excited):** Thank you Jeff!

**Probst:** Hailey is safe tonight, as for the rest of you, after twenty one days in Oceania, someone is going home. Grab your stuff and head back to camp, see you tonight at Tribal. Congrats. *(patting Hailey's back)*

Hailey smiles at Jeff as the other castaways all stand up to congratulate her before heading back to camp before the show goes to the commercial break.

The episode picks up with the ten castaways making their way back to the merged camp. The mood is great and the music in calm and quiet as everyone congratulates Hailey at her win in the first immunity challenge.

**Deanna (smiling):** Congrats girl! Way to do it! *(hugging Hailey)*

**Hailey (shocked):** Thank you! I can't believe this...really, it's crazy.

**John:** Yes, great job Hailey. That challenge was pretty hard.

**Vince:** Don't even get me started, I think my head is mixing those colors until now...

Everyone laughs at Vince's comment and then we see Hailey placing her necklace on a branch from a tree that is near their shelter. She is visibly happy at her immunity win as her smile shines trough the whole scene.

The camera shows us Hailey smiling while eating a fruit for some seconds before cutting to Frank approaching Daniel, that is also eating a fruit, near the shelter. The music gets weirder as Frank gets near Daniel and starts speaking.

**Frank (whispering):** So, do we have a plan for tonight?

Daniel makes a confused face as he wasn't expecting this sudden talk from Frank in the middle of the camp.

**Daniel (confused):** Well, we just came back, I think we don't...You have something in mind?

**Frank (explaining):** Well, for me it's clear that the biggest threat around here is Vince, and since he is an old Weno member I thought it would be for your best interest to get rid of him.

**Daniel:** That's a valid point. Would you be willing to do that?

**Frank (smirking):** Of course. It's the best thing that could happen for me.

Daniel nods, still with a confused face, and then the camera zooms in on Frank smirking.

The view goes back to Frank and Daniel near the shelter as we see Carly walking near by.

**Frank (whispering):** Okay, can I count with you an the Kusaie people then?

**Daniel (serious):** I'm gonna talk with them and I tell you the news later.

Frank nods and leaves Daniel alone again as we keep seeing him eating his mango with a serious face.

Later in the day we see the five original Kusaie members bathing and relaxing in the sea as Daniel brings up the voting decision they have to make for the night.

**Daniel:** So guys, we need to decide on something for Tribal tonight.

**Cameron:** I'm fine with whatever you guys decide.

**Deanna:** Yeah, me too, we just need to be certain what we decide is what happens at tribal.

**Daniel (opening up):** In this case, I'm going to open the discussion. Frank said earlier to me that he wants Vince gone and for me it's a good idea.

A slick sound is heard in the background as the camera changes it focus to Isaac who visually doesn't like the idea.

**Hailey (unsure):** And can we trust Frank?

**Daniel:** Frank has been pretty clear as far as his hate for his original tribe goes. And Vince for me is our biggest threat in the game. It's just a suggestion, we can obviously have other ideas.

Everyone nods as they think about what they are doing for the vote.

The five Kusaie members are still in the water as wee see some movement back at camp in the background of the scene.

**Isaac (decided):** Look, seriously, I don't think that's a good idea. Vince is a dangerous player, you are right, but I think he isn't a threat for us right now.

**Cameron (daring):** And why do you think he is not a trouble for us? He is clearly a great player.

**Isaac:** Yeah, but I think we have bigger fish to fry. Like Nicole and John who seem to be playing this under the radar game, they are the real danger.

The group remains silent as they don't know what to decide.

**Deanna:** I kind of like the idea of sending Vince home better. He is just bigger trouble...

Isaac is seen rolling his eyes and shaking his head as the group can't decide anything concrete.

The music gets darker as Isaac meets up with Vince in the forest for a walk to discuss their future in the tribe.

**Isaac (serious):** Okay, so, I have something to tell you, bro.

**Vince:** Go ahead.

They keep walking together as Isaac makes a pause before telling Vince what he just heard.

**Isaac (worried):** It seems like Frank is campaigning against you and the Kusaie people are ready to send you back home.

**Vince (chuckling):** Damn. Can't say I didn't expect it.

**Isaac:** We gotta do something, you can count with my help tonight.

**Vince:** Well, I guess Frank wants to play with the big dogs, so, we may just send him back to the surfer land where he came from.

**Isaac (smiling):** I would be okay with that. He is already getting on my nerves with all his cockiness.

**Vince (smirking):** I'm going to get the votes for tonight. This boy has already caused too much trouble.

Isaac nods as the two of them stop walking before it cuts to Vince's confessional.

After Vince's confessional the episode cuts to the race car driver reunited with Carly, John and Nicole near the water well so they can discuss the impending vote.

**Vince:** Okay, so, I wanted to talk with you all so we can kind of decide what we are doing for tonight.

**John:** You have something in mind?

**Vince:** Actually, yes. I was thinking if we could vote for Frank, I mean, they guy is going to be more trouble for us than any other Kusaie member. He is going around the tribe spreading lies and trying to tear us apart. I heard he is already plotting against us.

**Nicole (worried):** Yeah, that's true, he is kind of trying to create chaos around here.

**Vince:** So, why should we keep him around for much long? He is asking to be voted out!

Everyone smile at Vince's bold comment as it cuts to his confessional.

The group of four keep talking about their possibilities for the night as John asks the fatal question.

**John (counting):** Okay, but right now we have four votes, that's not the majority, voting for Frank could be signing our death sentence.

**Vince:** I have one more vote with me tonight, I just need to make sure. The other vote I was hoping you or Nicole could sway in our way.

**Nicole (unsure):** You mean, by convincing someone at the other side to vote with us?

**Vince (nodding):** Exactly. Daniel, Hailey, Deanna, anyone, we just need one more vote. Frank is trouble for everyone here as he is such a wild card, you know?

**John (understanding):** Sure, I agree with that. We can't let that boy stay for too long or he may switch this whole game up.

Vince nods seriously as the camera focuses on John's thinking face.

As the four of them get on an agreement they head back to camp walking in a line. The last person on the line is Carly who is shown to have a little smirk on her face.

The days is seen going away as the moon slowly starts to shine in the sky above the sea. At the beach we see Carly and Frank relaxing for a while, sitting next to each other.

**Carly (flirtatiously):** It has been some time since we last talked, right?

**Frank:** Yeah, times moves so fast in this game. *(smirking)*

**Carly:** So, you have any idea for the night? *(playing with her hair)*

**Frank:** Do you?

**Carly (lying):** I'm totally lost. I really don't have any idea of how things will go for tonight, that's why I was needing your help, you know? *(smiling)*

**Frank (convinced):** Well, if you want a plan, vote for Vince. He is the big trouble here on this island. If you want to do so, I'll make sure to protect you in this game.

**Carly (smiling):** I guess this is a proposal I can't refuse, right?

Frank nods and both of them start chuckling as Carly keeps giving her famous flirtatious smile.

The two of them stand up so they can returns to camp and get ready for their Tribal Council.

**Frank:** With Vince gone tonight and the Weno tribe at the brick of annihilation, we will manouver our way to the merge, starting to dismantle the Kusaie tribe.

**Carly (smiling):** That seems like a good plan for me. It will be my honor to play with such a good player as you here.

Frank nods and smirks, full of himself after Carly's last comment. The camera then shows us Carly rolling her eyes when Frank is not looking before it cuts to her confessional.

It's almost time to head to Tribal Council as the sun starts to set down in the sky. The music gets tense as Hailey, John and Nicole hurry to meet with each other in a spot at the forest.

**Hailey (with hurry):** So, what's up, you guys heard something new?

**John (serious):** Yes. Vince wants to get rid of Frank.

Hailey frowns her eyebrows as she thinks about this information.

**Nicole:** Exactly. Frank is going around camp spreading all kind of lies and this is dangerous for everyone's game. I know the original plan is Vince, but Frank may mean way more trouble for everybody.

**Hailey:** I understand the point. But do we have the numbers on our side?

**John:** The plan is to us three plus Carly, Vince and Isaac vote him out.

A slimy sound is heard in the background as John stares at Hailey, who looks nervous about this decision.

It's time to go to Tribal Council and we see Nicole Hailey and John returning to camp so they can grab their torches. The three of them keep discussing the last minute details about tonight.

**Hailey (unsure):** But in this situation, where do I stand within the group?

**Nicole (sincere):** You can count with me and John, Hailey. We don't have any kind of plan to keep the Weno people together, we never liked any of them. We just think that right now the best option for everyone is to get rid of Frank.

**Hailey:** So, maybe we could get everyone together on this decision and no one gets hurt. I don't think any of them have a specific bond with Frank.

**John:** If you think you can do that before everyone votes...We are with you girl.

Hailey nods still with a nervous face as she knows time is running low for her.

Everyone is seen grabbing their torches and Hailey puts on her immunity necklace. They start walking in line as the camera focuses on Vince, the last man on the line and then we start hearing his confessional in the background.

The suns gives place to the moon as the Tribal Council music starts to play. We see the big hut that is the tribal area and ten lighted torches approaching it. When the camera zooms in we see Jeff Probst's figure awaiting for the castaways and the ten survivors placing their torches in their respective places.

**Probst:** Welcome yo Tribal Council, Islas.

We see a shot of the ten castaways sitting in their places, ready to start the discussion.

**Probst:** So, let's start with the immunity challenge. Hailey, how does it feel to win the first individual challenge of the season?

**Hailey (happy):** It feels good, Jeff, it really feels. It's even better for someone like me who was elected as the weakest person on my tribe back at day one, so to be here now with this necklace makes me feel like I made my part to prove myself out here.

Everyone is seen smiling at Hailey's feat before Jeff continues with the questions.

**Probst:** But do you think you needed it tonight?

**Hailey:** I'm gonna be confident here and say that I didn't exactly need it, but I can't deny that it feels good to have it as this tribe seems to be very chaotic at the moment.

We see some castaways nodding as the music changes to something quirkier to go along with the topic.

**Probst:** Nicole, Hailey brought up an interesting point, she said the merge camp has been quite chaotic, do you agree?

**Nicole:** I couldn't agree more, we are only beginning to mold our games for these final eighteen days and things are heating up here.

**Probst:** Daniel, with five original Kusaie member and five original Weno members, do you think tribal lines are going to be in play tonight?

**Daniel:** I would be lying if I said they won't. It's obvious that the original bonds you form are the ones you will try to keep in this game, it's just about playing this game with people you know you can trust.

**Probst:** Frank, if Daniel is right, then are we bound for a tie tonight?

**Frank (smirking):** We could Jeff. That's all I can say.

Vince is seen chuckling and Carly rolling her eyes as Jeff notices their reactions.

**Probst:** Vince, why the chuckle?

**Vince (direct):** I'm laughing Jeff because for me it's funny when Frank acts like he is with the Weno people when actually he is making his army against us.

A gong is heard as the mood at Tribal Council gets tenser. Hearing Vince's answer, Frank can't wait to respond to it.

**Frank:** Well, that's definitively not true at all. Vince is the big liar on this tribe.

Another gong is heard as Daniel frowns his eyebrows, not understanding Frank's attitude and Vince shakes his head.

**Probst:** Daniel, with Vince and Frank getting at each other do you sue this as a benefit for your alliance?

**Daniel:** Well, if this means the other alliance is cracking, then...the benefit comes naturally, I just don't understand where all of this came from.

**Probst:** John, if the Weno tribe is really tearing apart, what do you do to make sure it's not you going home tonight?

**John:** Jeff, I guess the only answer is that you have to adapt to new situations. It may sound like a simple tribal line division, but as Hailey and Nicole remarked, there's way more to that. It's not as simple as it looks.

**Probst:** In this environment of doubt has the hidden immunity idol talk came up, Vince?

**Vince:** I haven't heard anything about those for a long time, but that's the funny thing about idols. They appear when nobody is expecting their presence!

Frank is seen rolling his eyes and then whispering to Daniel.

**Frank (whispering):** See, he has the idol. We need him out.

The music gets even tenser than before as we see Daniel looking confused about Frank's words.

**Probst:** And there are still people whispering and discussing about the vote, that makes me wonder, who here is worried they might be going home tonight?

Vince is the first one to raise his hand followed by everyone minus Carly, Hailey and Frank.

**Probst:** Vince you were fast on this one, why that?

**Vince:** I know my name is going around camp and I know what people say about me, Jeff. I'm definitively a target for tonight.

**Probst:** Frank, you didn't raise your hand, do you feel secure?

**Frank:** Yes, I do. I have a plan for the night and I believe everyone is going to stick with it. I know being sure on Survivor is not a good thing, but I'm confident today Jeff, because the biggest threat on this tribe is going home and there's no way he is escaping.

**Probst:** Oh, you said he. It's a guy going then?

**Vince (interrupting):** It's me Jeff. Frank has been plotting against me since the first minutes of the merge. He is spreading lies all over camp and trying to create chaos in this tribe so he could be the guy controlling everything. He paints me as this big threat, but in reality he is the one endangering everyone's game here with his unstable and dishonest attitude about everything and if people are wise, he is the one packing his things.

Frank shakes his head as everyone remains silent waiting for Jeff to continue the procedure.

**Probst:** Well, I guess we don't have nothing more to discuss here. It's time to vote, Nicole, you're up.

Nicole stands up with a serious expression as she makes her way to the voting urn. As Deanna goes voting we see Hailey whispering something to Cameron and Daniel who nod in confirmation. One by one the castaways cast their votes and the only votes aired are Vince's and Frank's for each other. The last person to vote is Carly who is seen putting her vote in the urn with a big smirk on her face. Once she comes back, tribal continues.

**Probst:** I'll go tally the votes.

The music picks up as Daniel looks to Hailey and quietly nods. We also see Frank fuming in anger after Vince's answer to Jeff and Vince seeing Jeff return with a serious face, for the first time in the game.

**Probst:** If anyone wants to play the hidden immunity idol, now would be the time to do so.

The camera highlights Vince as we see Frank bluntly staring at him expecting the race car driver to do something, but in the end, he doesn't and the music picks up once again.

**Probst:** Okay, once the votes are read, the decision is final. The person voted out will be asked to leave the Tribal Council area immediately. I'll read the votes.

**First Vote: Vince**

Vince nods as he expected the vote.

**Second Vote: Frank**

Frank shakes his head after receiving his first vote.

**Third Vote: Frank**

**Fourth Vote: Frank**

Frank looks to everyone else, shocked for receiving that many votes. Daniel ignores the surfer and keeps looking at the urn.

**Fifth Vote: Frank**

**Sixth Vote: Frank**

Vince finally smirks after a long time with a serious face as Nicole touches Hailey in the thigh. Frank shakes his head even more as he can't believe he is about to get blindsided by the whole tribe.

**Probst:** Seventh vote and seventh person voted out of Survivor: Oceania: Frank, that's six and that's enough, you need to bring me your torch.

**Frank:** Congratulations on winning this game, Vince.

Frank stands up, clearly irritated at his departure as we see Vince waving him goodbye. Frank than brutally places his torch in front of Jeff and waits for the final sentence.

**Probst:** Frank the tribe has spoken, it's time for you to go.

Frank quickly leaves the Tribal Council area without even looking back as the camera highlights Daniel's serious posture and Carly giggling seeing the surfer go.

**Probst:** Tonight the tribe voted as a unity to take out the source of chaos, but it's clear that this tribe is far from being united, and soon we will see who made the right call today and who didn't. Grab your stuff and head back to camp, goodnight.

The castaways nod as they stand up, grab their torches and make their way back to camp. The camera zooms out to show us nine lonely torches walking through the Micronesian jungle before the merge episode comes to its end.

## Next Time on *Survivor*...

* Vince becomes the number one target. *"There's no more time for him here"*
* Carly decides to run her mouth. *"He was the one who ratted all of you, if I remember well."*
* And a emotional reward makes the castaways crumble to their knees. *"Shots of Hailey crying and Daniel's teary eyes are shown"*

## Author's Notes
