Crazier Than A Cuckoo Clock

**Crazier Than A Cuckoo Clock** is the 2nd episode of *Survivor: Seychelles*.

## Story

### Night 3

Rawan can be seen being driven in a dark teal motorboat to the island where they met Su on the first day of the game. She climbs out and wades to shore, walking across the beach until she finds a small, rickety shelter waiting for her.

She can be seen sighing and sitting down inside the shelter, pulling her buff over her eyes and trying to fall asleep.

### Day 4

The sun can be seen rising on the morning of Day 4 over the ragged Digue campsite. Rylee is the first awake, seemingly having been unable to fall asleep. She rubs her eyes groggily as she sits on the beach, trying to pull herself together.

As the rest of the tribe wakes up, they can see Rylee sitting on the beach alone. Eulalie watches with a smug look as she helps Maurice start the fire.

The rest of the tribe huddles around the fire, chatting quietly. Korey can be seen looking pretty quiet as he looks into the flames.

As Eulalie, Maurice, and Korey start to cook some rice on the fire, Nicky walks to the beach to go see Rylee. He comforts her, telling her he's sorry he didn't give her a heads up about the vote, and coaxes her back to camp for rice. She thanks him, and they walk back to camp together to eat.

The scene shifts to the Praslin tribe, where everyone can be seen eating their morning rice around the fire. Clark can be seen staring into the flames of their fire as he thinks deeply.

After breakfast, Clark approaches Mona, attempting to apologize for his accident of spilling water on her. Mona insists it wasn't an accident, and tells Clark she doesn't want to hear his apologies, saying he should have thought before he acted like a child.

Mona marches off into the jungle after her spat with Clark, and Clark looks lost and upset. Donnie has been listening from nearby, and walks over to Clark and hugs him, trying to comfort him.

Kaiholo approaches as well, having noticed the tiff between Clark and Mona, and he seems aggravated.

The scene shifts to the Mahe tribe, where the tribe is finishing their morning rice. Priya mentions the idea of searching the island for other food sources, and everyone agrees it's a pretty good idea.

The tribe begins to spread out across the island, looking for sources of food. In the jungle, Ginny and Andi are walking together, and they decide to take a break, joking around and trying to climb a shorter tree. Jinora spots them fooling around, and confronts them about not doing their work.

Ginny apologizes, but Andi tells Jinora to mind her own business, saying they're allowed to take a break if they want. The two begin to bicker loudly, with Jinora calling Andi a useless nerd, and Andi calling Jinora a manly bully. Priya, Lorne, and Warren all arrive and help break up the fight, but both Andi and Jinora are still seething.

The rest of the day, there is tension on the tribe, as Jinora and Andi avoid each other. Lorne and Warren sit in the shelter together, discussing angrily how Andi and Jinora's drama is going to tear the tribe apart.

### Day 5

The Digue tribe can be seen waking up on the morning of Day 5. Eulalie can be seen walking to get water at the well, and when she is gone Rylee asks the guys if her fate is set in stone.

Nicky and Korey assure her that she isn't gone for sure, and Maurice says the same, but once Eulalie comes back he pulls her off to the side and tells her about what happened at camp.

Eulalie seems aggravated to hear that Rylee has already been campaigning against her, and throughout the rest of the day can be seen being very nice to Korey and Nicky, and working really hard.

The next morning on the Praslin tribe, Ignace can be seen waking up early and getting the fire roaring back to life and getting the rice set up to boil on the fire. Later on in the day, he can be seen collecting a lot of firewood as well.

Donnie and Kate can be seen collecting some firewood as well, walking through the jungle slowly. They are chatting and begin discussing the possibility of the idol being hidden somewhere nearby.

Donnie can be seen poking around some trees, and Kate then turns over a rotted log. She spots a buttery yellow bundle hiding beneath, and she calls over Donnie. The girls celebrate as Kate unwraps it and reads the paper declaring that it is a Hidden Immunity Idol.

At the Mahe camp, there is an awkward air at breakfast as everyone eats quietly. Jinora goes for an extra scoop of rice, and Andi snaps at her, telling her she needs to stop being so greedy.

The two begin to fight loudly, and Andi storms off to the beach. Ginny runs after him, while Jinora stalks off into the jungle. Warren begins chuckling once they're out of ear shot, eating his rice with a grin.

Ginny finds Andi on the beach, fuming and trying to hold back tears from his frustration with Jinora. Ginny gives him a hug and tries to calm him down with some breathing exercises.

### Day 6

The three tribes meet each other on a stretch of beach; an obstacle course stretches from a point out in the ocean to the shoreline, where a puzzle table waits. Su welcomes the tribes, and says that Rawan has been the first one sent to Redemption Island. Some people seem surprised to still see Eulalie on the tribe. Su takes back the Immunity statues from Kate and Jinora, and then begins to explain the challenge.

Three castaways will start out in the ocean, and they must swim across a variety of obstacles and make it to the shore carrying a crate of puzzle pieces. Once they deliver the pieces to the puzzlers at the beach, the two puzzlers will use the pieces inside to construct a captain's wheel puzzle. They will then spin the wheel once it is finished, and if it is correctly assembled, it will raise their tribe's flag. The first two tribes to raise their flags will win Immunity. After the challenge is explained, the tribes are left to strategize and then the challenge begins.

 3rd

**Highlights:**

* The challenge begins with the three tribes quickly leaping into the water, pulling their crates and swimming across the obstacles in their way. Praslin pulls into a commanding lead once again due to their physical prowess.
* Mahe leads over Digue, with Lorne's physicality in the water helping him keep pace with his more fit tribemates. Meanwhile, Maurice struggles to keep up swimming with Korey and Rylee, putting Digue in last place.
* Praslin hits the beach first, tugging their crate to Kate and Clark who begin to pull out the pieces and build the ship's wheel puzzle while Mahe and Digue are both still in the water.
* Praslin is about halfway through their puzzle when Mahe reaches shore, with Digue about twenty seconds behind them in the water.
* Soon, all three tribes are working on the puzzle, and while Mahe and Digue are just beginning, Praslin finishes their puzzle. They spin the wheel hard, raising their flag and celebrating coming in first once again.
* The race is now between Digue and Mahe; Mahe has a slight lead, but it evaporates as two great puzzlers in Eulalie and Nicky work very quickly to make up ground.
* Quickly, Digue keeps gaining ground, and Priya and Andi are left scrambling to stay close, with Andi starting to panick and doing even worse at the puzzle. Due to this, Digue extends their lead and finishes the puzzle, turning the wheel and raising their flag.

Digue jumps up and down in excitement to have won Immunity and be safe, while Lorne can be seen kicking sand in anger and Priya looks disappointed. Korey hugs Eulalie excitedly as Su hands Rylee the Immunity statue.

The Mahe tribe can be seen returning from the challenge with a somber mood about camp. Lorne can be seen groaning as he sits down in the shelter, rubbing his temples.

The whole tribe eats some rice together after the challenge before strategizing breaks out. As she is scooping out her rice, Jinora asks Andi if she is taking too much snidely, and another fight erupts between the two as they trade barbed insults angrily.

Jinora and Andi storm off, and Warren turns to everyone else left and asks if they're fine if they all just team up and vote off one of the two creating all the drama tonight.

After the four discuss the vote, they disperse. Later in the day, Ginny can be seen walking up to Andi where he is sitting alone on the beach, throwing shells into the water grumpily.

Ginny tells Andi he's in trouble, and he sighs, acknowledging that. Throughout the rest of the day, he can be seen trying to be nice to everyone else and ignoring Jinora.

Meanwhile, Jinora can be seen sitting alone most of the day, not really talking to many people.

As night closes in, the tribe can be seen walking out to Tribal Council. Priya is the last person in line as the Mahe tribes leave behind camp to vote someone out.

The Mahe tribe arrives at Tribal Council, and before they sit down, Su has them light their brand new torches. Once this ceremony is completed, the castaways are seated, and then Su begins to ask them questions. Su asks Lorne what camp life is like, and he admits it is a bit strained due to tensions between some castaways. Su asks who these castaways are, and Lorne admits it is Andi and Jinora. Su seems surprised that a rivalry is so out in the open early on, but Andi and Jinora both affirm that they do not get along and want each other out tonight. Andi says Jinora may be strong but she is crazy and distant, while Jinora says Andi is dragging the tribe down physically and likes to stir the pot. The two begin to fight again before Su quiets them, saying it's obvious that the drama between them is at its breaking point. He asks the others how you decide who will go home; Ginny says you have to think about who will help out the tribe, and Warren says it's all about the future. With that, the castaways go to vote, with Priya going first.

Lorne is the last one to vote, and then Su collects the votes before asking if anyone wants to play an idol. All eyes are on Jinora and Andi, but neither moves, so Su begins to read the votes. Surprisingly, the decision is not unanimous; Lorne, Warren, and Priya have decided to side with Jinora since she is better for the tribe's strength, but Ginny has stuck by Andi, thinking she had convinced enough people to vote off Jinora with them. Upset, Andi gives Ginny a long hug and flips Jinora off through his tears before carrying his torch to Su, who snuffs it and sends him off to Redemption Island.
