Battle Between the Blondes

This is the 4th episode of Survivor: India - Reincarnation Island, written by A2479.

## Previously On *Survivor...*

Previously on… Survivor: Caleb won the Duel of Destiny (Probst: “*CALEB WINS THE DUEL AND REENTERS THE GAME!*”), gave a disadvantage to Ryan and reincarnated into Hara, where Tyler found an idol (Tyler in a confessional: “*I found it. The hidden immunity idol! (laughs)*”).

On Shakti, Bryce was playing both sides between Ryan and Melissa (Bryce in a confessional: “*I’m going to tell Melissa it's Ryan and Ryan that it's Melissa so that I can be the swing vote*”) but they quickly figured it out (Melissa in a confessional: “*Bryce is now in big sh\*t up to his eyeballs.*”), while the Fearsome Fivesome grew into the Fearsome Sixsome. (Hanna to Ryan: “*I want you to join us*.” Ryan: “*I'd love to!*”).

After Hara won immunity for the third time in a row, Aatma had their target settled on Miles (Hanna in a confessional: “*Miles obviously has to go*”) while Melissa and Ryan tried to get Gregory on their side to blindside Bryce (Melissa to Gregory: “*We have to vote Bryce.*”).

At Tribal Council, Miles got voted out as planned (Probst: “*Miles, the tribe has spoken.*”) while at Shakti’s Tribal Council,  Gregory flipped and Bryce was blindsided. (Probst: “*Bryce, the tribe has spoken.*”)

Sixteen are left, including two in Reincarnation Island. Who will be voted out tonight?

## Challenges

**Duel of Destiny:** *Domino Effect*

The three castaways each stack domino style wooden blocks on their separate raised courses. Once all of the blocks are properly stacked on the course, the castaway can then start a chain reaction by releasing a ball which travels down the course to the end and smashes a tile. First castaway to break their tile wins.

**Immunity Challenge:** *Blind Leading the Blind*
One member of each tribe would act as a caller while two other blindfolded tribe members would navigate the course to retrieve five items and a flag, eventually working with a third blindfolded tribemate to hoist the items up to the caller's platform. The first two tribes to get all its items to the top of their platform win.
**Winner:** Shakti
**Reward:** A cage of chicken and a rooster.

## Story

### Night 9

#### One World Camp

We can see the two tribes coming back to camp, as the Hara tribe watches on. Aishia and Emilee seem surprised of Bryce’s departure.

**Aishia:** Woah.

As the Shakti tribe settles in their shelter, Hanna notices Bryce is missing.

**Hanna (under her breath):** Oh sh\*t.

The Fearsome Sixsome, minus Ryan and Bryce, quickly reunites on the beach.

**Emilee:** Oh my God! Bryce, I can't believe it…

**Hanna:** The bitches who voted for him are gonna have to go.

**Aishia (nodding):** Melissa and Gregory.

Ryan is seen approaching them, a bit fearful.

**Aishia (to Ryan):** So what happened?

**Ryan:** Bryce was the one who flipped on me and tried to vote me out. Melissa told me about it, so we voted him out for flipping. I guess he got cold feet at the end and voted for Melissa instead. *(shrugs)*

**Emilee (surprised):** Bryce was targeting you?

**Ryan:** Yeah, these stupid disadvantages are putting a target on my back for no reason. I haven't done anything wrong.

**Grahame:** Wow....

**Ryan:** Right? I really trusted him.

**Grahame:** Why would he turn on our alliance? It makes no sense.

**Ryan (shrugging):** I thought so too.

Ryan continues talking as the volume is muted, while Hanna doesn’t seem convinced.

The camera now shows us Ryan’s gone, and the other four are talking.

**Hanna:** Do you trust Ryan? It seems weird that Bryce voted Melissa while they're telling us that he was targeting them.

**Aishia:** Yeah, that is so peculiar...

**Grahame:** It doesn't make sense, but I don't see why Ryan would make this up. But then again, why would Bryce want Ryan out?

Hanna shrugs, as the camera zooms in on Grahame’s face.

The intro then plays.

### Day 10

#### Duel of Destiny

The three tribes and the two duelists arrive to the arena where the host is waiting.

**Probst:** Before the duel begins, I have an announcement.

Most contestants look surprised, as the camera shows Ryan, Hanna and Timmy.

**Probst:** Everybody drop your buffs! We’re switching tribes!

They all take their buffs out, as some of them are shocked while others were expecting it.

**Probst:** How this will work is that we will be keeping all three tribes, but one tribe will have four people on it, and the winner of the Duel of Destiny will join that tribe, to even out the numbers. Got it?

The castaways nod. We can now see Probst handing them packages containing their new buffs.

**Probst:** Alright, open them up!

We can see the contestants opening their packages, finding all type of buffs, some people change seats to join their new tribe while the others stay where they are.

Some people, like Danielle and Hanna, seem satisfied with their tribes, while others, like Aishia and Grahame, are not happy.

**Probst:** Alright, time for the duel now.

* Both of them start strong and fast, with Bryce taking a bit of a lead.
* Unfortunately, Bryce goes too fast and trips, making most of his dominoes fall, allowing Miles to catch up.
* Miles is ready to start the reaction, but comes up short because he put the dominoes too far from each other.
* Bryce catches up, starts his reaction and wins.

**Probst:** BRYCE WINS THE DUEL AND REENTERS THE GAME!!!

Bryce jumps and lets out a scream, as Miles congratulates him.

We can now see the two duelists in front of the host.

**Probst:** Miles, how do you feel right now?

**Miles:** Sad, of course, but I’m glad to have had this experience. *(smiles)*

**Probst:** Alright, you have been officially eliminated, throw your buff in the fire and head out.

Miles does just that, as the castaways wave him goodbye.

**Probst:** Congratulations Bryce, you have been reincarnated in the game! *(Bryce grins)* Now, you can choose a Karma Card between these ten.

**Bryce:** I’m choosing number 1, Jeff. *(takes the card)*

**Probst:** Who are you giving it to?

**Bryce:** Gregory.

Gregory shakes his head and takes the card.

**Probst:** Gregory, you can now read what your disadvantage is.

**Gregory (reading):** The disadvantage is the Double Tribal Council! If a tribe is given this card, the next time they go to tribal council, they will have to vote out two people instead of one. Wow…

Bryce, realizing he gave his own tribe a disadvantage, shakes his head, as Danielle stifles a giggle.

**Probst:** Shakti, you better win immunity or else you'll be only three. Here’s your buff, Bryce. *(hands Shakti buff to Bryce)*

Bryce puts it on and joins his new tribe, whom he whispers to “sorry”.

**Probst:** You guys can head back to camp.

#### One World Camp

The three new tribes are seen entering their respecting camps, as the camera shows us the Shakti tribe. They’re all seen hugging and greeting each other, as Dylan is shown the most.

We can see Bryce sitting in the shelter, seemingly happy to be back.

The scene now switched to a conversation between Grahame and Bryce in the woods.

**Bryce:** What would you say about teaming up and trying to form a majority?

**Grahame:** That was exactly what I was thinkin'. My original tribe has all been split up, so I don't 'ave much of a choice. *(smiles)*

The camera now shows us Bryce and Caleb talking on the beach.

**Bryce:** What are your thoughts on aligning and trying to form a majority?

**Caleb:** Yeah, I think that sounds good. *(smiles)*

**Bryce:** I really like Grahame, he seems like a good guy.

**Caleb (nodding):** Yeah, I've been talking to him a lot. He's a nice guy.

The scene now switches to the new Hara camp, where Danielle and Ryan are sitting alone.

**Danielle:** Oh my gosh, I can’t believe we're on the same tribe! *(grins then hugs)*

**Ryan (hugging her too):** Yaaay! *(laughs)*

**Danielle:** Just curious, are you close with anyone on this new tribe?

**Ryan:** Emilee and Hanna, I'm closer with Emilee though.

**Danielle:** Oh, great then!  I’m close with Emilee and Timmy of course, though I'm probably closer to Emilee since I've been just casual with Timmy for the most part, haven't talked to Hanna yet.

**Ryan:** Wanna make a majority alliance with Emilee since we are both close with her already?

**Danielle (smiling):** Sure, I think that'd be a great idea!

The camera now shows us Danielle, Ryan and Emilee in the water.

**Emilee:** I like the look of our new tribe, we all look really chill! *(pauses for a second)* Wow, "chill" sounds really weird coming from me. *(giggles)*

**Ryan (giggling):** I like this tribe too! Much less aggressive than before.

**Emilee:** Your old tribe was crazy, Ryan! I couldn't figure out what the heck was going on over there.

**Ryan:** It was utter chaos there, this is much better. So, do you guys wanna form an alliance?  I've talked to each of you and I know you two have talked and I think you both are really awesome.  What do you think?

**Emilee:** I'd like that a lot!

**Ryan:** What about you Danielle?

**Danielle:** Heck yeah, you two are both awesome so this is a no brainer!

The three women laugh as the scene switches to Hanna and Danielle at the water well.

**Hanna:** So, are you close to Emilee and Timmy?

**Danielle:** I've talked to both of them a small amount, probably a little bit more with Emilee. They're both pretty nice people.

**Hanna:** Emilee and I are close so I can vote with you guys.

**Danielle (grinning):** Oh, that's great! I'd be happy to vote with you and Emilee, that's so relieving to hear that we could make sure we're not on the outs.

The scene now switches to Aishia and Tyler talking in the woods.

**Tyler:** Well, at least we’re still together.

**Aishia:** Yes, we've got to stick together.

**Tyler:** Indeed, hopefully none of our alliance gets voted out before the merge. We need to get another person on our side so we have the numbers.

**Aishia (nodding):** Who on our tribe do you want to recruit to be number three?

**Tyler:** Melissa, she seems nice enough and she’s strong in challenges.

Aishia nods silently.

The camera now shows Tyler and Melissa carrying firewood.

**Tyler:** So, I've been wanting to work with you since the game started. *(grins)*

**Melissa (smiling):** Oh thanks! That would be great.

**Tyler:** Well, myself and Aishia were in a strong alliance back on Hara, you’re more than happy to join us!

**Melissa (nodding):** Sure, if Aisha is happy with that.

The camera shifts and shows us the sun setting.

### Day 11

#### One World Camp

The sun is seen rising above the one world camp, as the camera shows us Bryce and Ryan walking through the woods, carrying multiple canteens. The awkward silence is palpable, until Ryan decides to break the ice, as they arrive at the water well.

**Ryan (hesitantly):** Wanna talk about last Tribal?

**Bryce:** Honestly, there's nothing to really talk about. Melissa is a snake and that's pretty much it.

**Ryan (frowning):** That’s not what I heard, I think we have different perspectives on what happened.

**Bryce:** Oh really?

**Ryan:** If you can be completely honest with me I won't blame you for anything and maybe we can still work together, just tell me why.

**Bryce (lying):** I didn't know who else to tell Melissa. I told Gregory that I was voting Melissa and I told Melissa I was voting you because she really wanted to form an alliance with Gregory. I was never ever plotting against you.

**Ryan:** But she told me she refused to vote me out and so you flipped and voted for her, is that true?

**Bryce (shaking his head):** No, she clearly left out the part when I asked her to vote Gregory but she didn’t want to at all, she was totally on board with voting you, but I think my trust should be exhibited by the fact that I voted for her.

**Ryan:** Yeah, I think it was all just a big misunderstanding, glad you’re back so that it didn't do any damage, but our cross-tribal alliance thinks you targeted me so we will have to clear that up.

**Bryce:** Really? You told them that I was targeting you?

**Ryan:** They were questioning why you went home, but none of it made sense so they will understand, and I believe you now.

We’re now shown the Fearsome Sixsome reuniting in the woods.

**Bryce (lying):** Guys, the last vote was a giant misunderstanding. Ryan, Gregory, and I agreed to vote Melissa out. I went to Melissa and told her that Gregory was the target. Melissa said she didn't want to take Gregory out. So, I asked if it was Ryan she wanted out and she said yes. Melissa is the snake in this situation, not me. My trust in this alliance should be exhibited by the fact that I voted against Melissa, not Ryan. This is a really big miscommunication, I never did anything to go against this alliance. This is the place where my trust is. I never ever wanted Ryan out.

**Ryan (nodding):** Yeah it's true, when Melissa told me Bryce said he wanted me out that's when we decided to vote for him, but I wouldn't have voted him out had I known he was lying to her the whole time.

**Grahame (grinning):** Good. I’m glad this alliance can still stay strong.

**Aishia (relieved):** So am I.

Emilee nods, as Hanna is looking at Ryan silently.

The camera now shows that most of the alliance is gone, as Emilee and Hanna stayed together.

**Hanna:** So, I wanted to talk to you about Tribal council if we lose the challenge. I don’t think we should trust Ryan after the last Shakti Tribal Council, so we need a third to get the majority, who are you the closest to, Danielle or Timmy?

**Emilee (surprised):** Oh, uh, you want Ryan out?

**Hanna:** Yes. I mean, did you see how they blindsided Bryce? If there was no Reincarnation Island, Bryce would’ve gone home because of a “misunderstanding”. I don’t trust them at all and I’m sure they have a stronger alliance with Melissa and Gregory. If they could do that to Bryce, they can totally do it to us too.

**Emilee:** You think they would do that to us? *(sighs)* Gosh, this game is too complicated.

**Hanna:** It is, but they haven't said anything to me since the swap, so I’m sure they're planning something behind our backs with Melissa and Gregory.

**Emilee:** I just… I can’t imagine Ryan doing that for no reason! They seem really sweet to me.

**Hanna (matter-of-factly):** We both know Ryan was the sixth of the cross-tribal alliance, and they surely got angry because Bryce formed this alliance without telling them, so they blindsided him with Mel and Gregory. I’m sure they're playing a role and is ratting us out to their true alliance. I don’t trust them at all.

**Emilee (unsure):** Do you really think we should split it up right now though? What if they really are with us? I don’t feel like Ryan would try and turn on us so soon. I mean, I guess you never know on Survivor but… something just doesn’t feel right about turning on them so soon.

**Hanna (getting annoyed):** I’d rather make that move sooner than later. If we let them go too far, they could totally grab the numbers and flip on us. We have to get rid of them now because they're powerless.

**Emilee:** I just… I feel bad. I don’t want to vote Ryan out when we have our alliance with them. What if they start to distrust us for flipping? We’d basically be doing what Ryan did to Bryce.

**Hanna (rolling her eyes):** You know what? I’m gonna talk to Bryce and see what he thinks about this, then I’ll come to you later.

**Emilee:** Oh, okay, I guess I’ll talk to you later then.

As Emilee goes back to camp, Hanna shakes her head.

The camera now shows us the tribe eating breakfast.

**Timmy:** Rice is ready!

**Ryan (taking a scoop of rice):** Oh my God, I’m so hungry!

Emilee watches on silently, feeling a bit guilty.

Now the camera shows us only Emilee and Danielle have stayed in camp.

**Emilee:** Ugh, I hope we don't have to go to tribal. The last thing I want to do is hurt somebody's feelings or something.

**Danielle:** Do you have any preference for who you like on the tribe?

**Emilee:** I dunno, I've talked with Timmy the least, but at the same time, I'd feel terrible turning on Hara! Ryan seems really sweet, I like them a lot. I haven't talked with Hanna much either, but it seems like she's very, um... stubborn.

**Danielle:** Oh, really? What has she done?

**Emilee:** I don't want to be judgemental, but she really wants Ryan out, and it doesn't feel right to me, I dunno… but she's pretty much telling me to vote them.

**Danielle (frowning):** Why does Hanna want Ryan out?

**Emilee (lying):** Oh, um, I don't even know! She didn't even, uh, say anything about it, so it didn't make any sense. I asked her why but she kind of dodged the question. I got too nervous to ask again, she seemed kind of annoyed with me.

**Danielle:** That's really weird. What should we do, then? I'm really not sure.

**Emilee:** I don't know, either. I wanted to tell Ryan but I don't want to cause any more drama or something!

**Danielle:** Hun, if you want to tell Ryan then you shouldn't be afraid to. Especially since it sounds like Hanna's a snake!

**Emilee:** Yeah, I guess... I just, I don't want either one of them to be mad at me!

**Danielle:** I understand - I could talk to Hanna and then tell Ryan so the heat is off you, if you'd like!

**Emilee:** No, really, it's fine! I'm still not even sure what I want to happen.

The scene now changes to Danielle and Ryan talking on the beach.

**Ryan:** So, as anyone approached you about the vote if we lose tomorrow?

**Danielle:** Yes, and I need you to promise me you'll stay quiet about this, at least for now.

**Ryan:** I will, you can count on me.

**Danielle:** I've heard that Hanna is hardcore gunning to vote you out.

**Ryan (shocked):** Really? Who does she have with her?

**Danielle:** I don't think she has anyone yet, but I could be completely in the dark here.

**Ryan:** Do you think we have Emilee with us, like she's trustworthy here?

**Danielle:** I think she's trustworthy, but honestly, I'm getting really weird vibes from her.

**Ryan:** Really?

**Danielle:** Alright, pretty please with a cherry on top don't tell anyone, specifically Emilee, this, but Emilee was the one to tell me. And she said it really weirdly, so I couldn't tell if she was more for you or for Hanna. It's probably close.

**Ryan (shaking her head):** Wow… I don't know what I ever did wrong. I haven't done anything this game so far, I feel like those disadvantages put a target on my back that I really didn't deserve. *(pauses)* Can I tell you something that confuses me though?

**Danielle:** Sure, what is it?

**Ryan:** Bryce pulled me into a cross-tribal alliance with Hanna in it, so I can't understand why she would want to destroy a perfectly good cross-tribal? I never trusted anyone in there anyway so, I guess it's not so surprising, wanna know who else is in it?

**Danielle (shocked):** Wow, that's crazy. And I'd love to know who else is in it.

**Ryan:** This has to stay between us though.

**Danielle:** Don’t worry, I trust you with info so you can do the same. *(smiles)*

**Ryan:** So it includes so far Bryce, Aishia, Grahame, Emilee, Hanna, and me.

**Danielle:** Wow, that's really interesting info, and since I've talked with literally all of them and you're the only one to mention it, that shows me you're literally the only one I can trust.

**Ryan:** You know what we should do?  We should form a second cross tribal and I'll feed you guys the info about the first one.

**Danielle:** That'd be fun. (laughs)

The two continue talking, as the sun is seen setting behind them.

### Day 12

#### One World Camp

As the sun is rising above the Indian beach, a shot of Hanna and Tamsyn filling the castaways’ canteens in the water well is shown.

**Tamsyn:** How's it going on your new tribe girl?

**Hanna:** It's going good. How about you?

**Tamsyn:** I guess it's okay, everyone’s nice, but I don’t know who to trust.

**Hanna:** Well, you shouldn't trust Mel. She apparently was Bryce's closest ally then stabbed him in the back. If she can blindside him, she can totally blindside you.

**Tamsyn (surprised):** Oh wow… I think I can convince Tyler and Aishia to vote her since they’re both from Hara and seem like the swing vote.

**Hanna:** Good. I'm gonna get rid of Ryan on my tribe because they did the same thing than Melissa.

**Tamsyn (nodding):** Okay.

#### Immunity Challenge

* Tyler, Caleb and Hanna are calling for each tribe.
* The three tribes are all working well together as first.
* Timmy gets confused and doesn’t hear Hanna well, which slows down the tribe.
* The other tribes manage to get their last item and bring it back to the platform.
* Unfortunately for Aatma, Dreamer fails at hoisting the item up, giving Shakti the win.

**Probst:** SHAKTI WINS IMMUNITY AND REWARD!!!

The Shakti tribe celebrates, Grahame, Bryce and Gregory even more, as this is the first time they win immunity.

Probst then gives the Immunity Idol and the chickens to the winning tribe, and then send them back to camp.

#### One World Camp

The three tribes are seen entering their own camps. The scene shows us the Hara tribe settling down, as the camera focuses on Timmy.

The camera now leads us to a conversation between Emilee and Ryan in the jungle.

**Emilee:** So, there's something I've been meaning to tell you.

**Ryan:** What?

**Emilee:** Well... Hanna came up to me yesterday, and, she uh, she really wanted you out!

**Ryan:** Really? Did she mention why?

**Emilee:** Yeah, I really don't know why. She seemed to think that you were gonna turn on us. I tried to ask her if we should change the vote and she kind of snapped at me! I don't want things to change in our alliance, maybe it'd be best if me, you and Hanna could talk things out.

**Ryan (nodding):** Yeah, maybe I can talk to her and we can come to an understanding.

**Emilee:** So, if we manage to talk things out with Hanna, are you thinking Timmy for the vote?

**Ryan:** Yeah.

As the two part ways, the camera follows Ryan.

The camera now shows us Danielle and Ryan talking on the camp's sideways.

**Ryan:** Emilee just told me what happened with Hanna and she wants Timmy out.

**Danielle:** Okay, cool.

**Ryan:** Once I get to talk to Hanna, I think I can convince her to vote Timmy then we can get her or Emilee out.

**Danielle:** Well, before that we need to make sure we have Timmy locked down.

**Ryan:** Can you get on that while I talk to Hanna?

**Danielle:** Sure.

The scene now changes to a conversation between Danielle and Timmy on the beach.

**Danielle:** I just found out some crazy info that puts both of our lives in jeopardy.

**Timmy:** Oh my God, what happened?

**Danielle:** Emilee betrayed us. She wants you out.

**Timmy:** Yikes.

**Danielle:** She and Hanna are in an alliance with Ryan, but Ryan, thankfully, chose us instead and wants to help us out. Ryan said they would vote Emilee with us and wanted me to tell you what happened. I just wanted to hear what you were thinking, because it's a huge shift.

**Timmy (nodding):** I'd be down to do that.

**Danielle:** So you'd be up for voting Emilee? I don't want to overwhelm you or anything.

**Timmy:** Nah, if she's throwing my name out, then what's the harm?

**Danielle:** Cool, I'll put her name down too then!

The camera now pictures Hanna and Danielle talking next to some trees.

**Hanna:** I wanna get Ryan out. They blindsided their closest ally Bryce and they have this big alliance with Melissa and Gregory.

**Danielle:** Oh, really? Thanks for telling me, didn't know that. Do you have anyone else on your side for the vote?

**Hanna:** I have Emilee. I want you in because you're my ally and I barely talk to Timmy.

**Danielle:** I’d be happy to work with you and Emilee since you two seem nice enough. *(smiles)*

**Hanna:** Good. We can take Timmy out next.

**Danielle:** Alright, sounds good.

The camera now shows us Hanna and Ryan talking in the forest.

**Ryan:** So... I've heard that you’re a little on the fence about my loyalty, but I wanted to assure you that I am with you 100% and I hope we can clear this whole thing up.

**Hanna (frowning):** Emilee told you that? That's not good. Look Ryan, you blindsided your closest ally Bryce and you probably have an alliance with Melissa and Gregory. How can I trust you?

**Ryan:** The whole thing with Bryce was a misunderstanding.  I got told he was going to vote for me but it turns out it was a lie. I wish I had never voted for him.

**Hanna:** Bryce could've gone home because of a simple "misunderstanding". Imagine if there was no Reincarnation Island, Bryce would be gone and fuming at home. I don't want you to blindside me.

**Ryan:** I think as long as we keep in touch everything will be fine. It happened because Bryce didn't tell me he told Melissa to vote for me as a lie so I assumed it was true. As long as we touch base often that shouldn't ever happen again.

**Hanna:** The fact that you can turn on your closest ally that easily does not sit well with me.

**Ryan:** I only turned on him because I thought he turned on me first, and I was very hurt as well when I was under the impression that he wanted me gone.

**Hanna:** So you believed Melissa over Bryce?

**Ryan:** Yes, I believed Melissa over Bryce. If you don't think you can trust me after that I guess I can understand. We will just go our separate ways, but I really was hoping to work with you. *(frowns)*

**Hanna:** I think it's too late to work together now. I already have Danielle and Emilee voting against you and I'm not gonna flip on them.

**Ryan (sighing):** Okay I understand.  I'll try my best on Reincarnation and I’m sorry you can't trust me.

**Hanna (shrugging):** Don't be. We just outplayed you. *(smirks)*

As Hanna turns around, Ryan rolls her eyes.

The scene now changes to Hanna and Emilee talking in a trail.

**Emilee:** Hey Hanna, can we talk?

**Hanna:** Should we though? If you go tell everything to Ryan again, I don’t know why we should talk.

**Emilee:** Hanna, look, I only told Ryan because I want us all to make up. It’s not a good idea to split up like this!

**Hanna:** It is! Don’t vote for them if you want, I don’t care because I have Danielle’s vote locked in and Bryce totally agreed to this idea.

**Emilee:** But, I thought he and Ryan made up?

**Hanna (lying):** He hates them in reality. He knows he would’ve gone home if there was no Reincarnation Island and he doesn’t trust Ryan anymore. I totally understand him and I’m gonna vote them off just to avenge him.

**Emilee:** Hanna, please--

**Hanna (cutting her off):** Shut up! *(storms off)*

Emilee is left speechless, completely shocked.

Emilee is seen coming back to camp, where Ryan is tending alone to the fire, they quickly notice something’s wrong with her.

**Ryan:** Hey, are you okay?

**Emilee:** Hanna just told me to shut up.

Ryan’s eyes widen up, revealing their shocked expression.

**Emilee:** Honestly, if she's going to treat me that way... I see no reason not to vote for her.

**Ryan:** Why did she tell you to shut up? That's so mean.

**Emilee:** I know, I'm kind of hurt, I didn't want any of this…

**Ryan:** Well, don’t worry, I’m sure we can get numbers to get her out.

Now, we can see Ryan and Danielle having a conversation on the beach.

**Danielle:** Okay, so Timmy’s on board to get rid of Emilee.

**Ryan:** Cool, but I think we need to do Hanna.

**Danielle:** Hanna?

**Ryan:** Yeah, I think Emilee will be more forgiving and she told me she’s gonna vote Hanna because she blew up on her.

**Danielle:** Well, don’t you think it’d be smarter to keep Hanna because she’ll be a target in front of us in the future?

**Ryan:** I don’t know, I think Emilee would be more of a possible ally.

**Danielle:** Yeah but she’s shown her sneakiness.

**Ryan:** You’re right. Ugh, this is hard.

Danielle nods.

The scene now changes to the Aatma camp, where Melissa and Tamsyn are tending the fire, as Dreamer watches the former.

We can now see that Melissa is gone, as Dreamer begins to speak to Tamsyn.

**Dreamer:** Can we please vote her off? I hate her.

**Tamsyn:** Oh, why?

**Dreamer:** She was super close to my worst enemy on Shakti, she needs to go.

**Tamsyn:** Alright, I don’t have any problem with that.

The camera now shows us the alliance of Melissa, Aishia and Tyler reuniting in the forest.

**Aishia:** Ugh, really wish we could've won this.

**Tyler:** Me too, I hate losing.

**Aishia:** Yep, cause now we've got to pick off someone. *(frowns)*

**Tyler:** I know, this is gonna suck.

**Melissa:** Is it really that hard of a choice?

**Aishia:** Who do you suggest?

**Melissa:** Dreamer, after all she lost us the challenge.

**Aishia:** You good with that, Tyler?

**Tyler:** Yes, I am. *(grins)*

**Aishia:** Awesome, no point in keeping dead weight. Let's send her off and just win the next one. (smiles)

**Melissa (nodding):** Sounds good.

We are now shown Aishia and Tamsyn having a conversation at the water well.

**Aishia:** So, what's up?

**Tamsyn:** Not much, you?

**Aishia:** Just wondering what your mind set is going into the vote. *(giggles)*

**Tamsyn:** Oh, well I was thinking Mel. She hasn't talked to me at all and someone told me she betrayed her closest ally but, I mean, I'm okay with anything right now.

**Aishia:** Oh alright - makes sense, do you think you have the numbers for that though?

**Tamsyn:** Dreamer hates her so I’m sure she’d be in and I think Tyler can be convinced to go with us.

Aishia nods.

The scene now changes to Aishia and Tyler talking by the beach.

**Aishia:** Okay, I have to talk to you. It's kind of a last minute vote analysis of what's going on.

**Tyler:** Alright.

**Aishia:** Tamsyn brought me some information about Melissa and now I think she's not someone we can trust in this game. She's betrayed her original alliance, and I think we'd be better off with Dreamer and Tamsyn as a tribe.

**Tyler:** Oh, I didn’t know that, but I think we’d be stronger as a tribe if we keep Melissa.

**Aishia:** I agree, but we can’t trust Melissa, I’d rather keep Dreamer who is not gonna be a strategic mastermind.

**Tyler:** I don’t know…

As Tyler’s confessional is displayed, we can see the castaways packing up and picking up their torches. A shot of the two tribes heading to Tribal Council is shown while the sun is setting.

### Tribal Council 1

We can see the Hara tribe arriving to Tribal Council, where Hanna and Ryan directly sit.

**Probst:** For those of you who don’t have a torch, grab one, dip it in and get fire. This is part of the ritual of Tribal Council because in this game, fire represents your life, when your fire’s gone, so are you.

Emilee, Danielle and Timmy lit up their torches, and sit down next to their tribemates.

**Probst:** Ryan, has there been a lot of scrambling on the new Hara tribe, now that you've swapped and the game is really on?

**Ryan:** Definitely. I mean, those last few days have been crazy and anything could happen tonight.

**Probst:** Emilee, is it nerve-wracking, going to your first tribal council of the season?

**Emilee:** For sure, I have no idea what’s gonna happen, so I’m really nervous.

**Probst:** Hanna, are there tensions within the tribe?

**Hanna:** There is no tensions in the tribe Jeff. Everyone has to do what they have to do and vote someone off. *(shrugs)*

Emilee shakes her head.

**Probst:** Danielle, how have people's strategies begun to change now that the swap has hit?

**Danielle:** Strategy has changed dramatically with the incoming swap, Jeff. Especially for us Hara folks, we've got to switch from "Ah, let's relax" to "Oh shoot, I really need allies!". I think tonight's Tribal Council is going to come down to who prepared the best for every situation, because honestly, everyone is playing the game and it's a matter of self-preservation.

Ryan nods.

**Probst:** Alright, it is time to vote. Hanna, you’re up.

**Probst:** I’ll go tally the votes.

As the host goes to take the urn, Timmy watches on silently.

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

No one stands.

**Probst:** 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…

**RYAN**.

Ryan nods, expecting a vote, as Hanna smirks.

**HANNA**. (1-1)

Hanna rolls her eyes, as Emilee seems nervous.

**HANNA**. (2-1)

Hanna seems surprised, but shrugs it off. Danielle looks on intensely.

.

**Probst:** Seventh person voted out of Survivor: India… **Hanna**.

Hanna’s eyes wide up, as she was not expecting it. Ryan smirks, as Emilee sighs, relieved.

**Probst:** That’s three, that’s enough, you need to bring me your torch.

Danielle nods, thinking she made the right decision.

**Probst:** Hanna, the tribe has spoken. Take your torch and head to Reincarnation Island.

Hanna does just that, not saying anything to her castmates.

**Probst:** Well, you guys seem to have come into the swap united in who you wanted out; the question is, is that unity real, or is it just an illusion? You guys can head back to camp, goodnight.

The Hara tribe leaves, as the Aatma tribe arrives.

### Tribal Council 2

Dreamer, Melissa and Tamsyn sit down to face the host.

**Probst:** For those of you who don’t have a torch, grab one, dip it in and get fire. This is part of the ritual of Tribal Council because in this game, fire represents your life, when your fire’s gone, so are you.

Aishia and Tyler lit up their torches, and sit down next to the other women.

**Probst:** Tyler, now that the tribes have swapped, has the game kicked up a notch? Meaning, have people started to think more about strategy, who's on their side?

**Tyler:** Oh, for sure. Now, people are playing more aggressively and strategic decisions are starting to be made, but we can’t forget this is a tribal game at first.

Aishia nods.

**Probst:** Tamsyn, you're all alone on this new tribe, with no former Aatma tribe members on your side. How do you adapt to this new situation?

**Tamsyn:** It was scary at first, but I managed to build good relationships with the right people, and I hope I can trust them going forward.

**Probst:** Dreamer, you've been voted off before, and swapped to the dominant Hara tribe. Now, a full tribe switch has occurred, and you're on yet another tribe! Do you feel comfortable with another, completely different group of people?

**Dreamer:** Not really, and I feel even uncomfortable with some people on this tribe.

Melissa seems intrigued, but shrugs it off.

**Probst:** Melissa, have there been any underlying tensions on this newly-formed tribe?

**Melissa (shaking her head):** Not that I’ve heard of, everything’s been pretty chill from what I’ve seen.

Dreamer smirks.

**Probst:** Aishia, this is your first time going to Tribal. As nerve-wracking as it may be, are there some benefits to finally getting to start really playing the game?

**Aishia:** Aghhh, you know - it definitely means I'm finally becoming a player because I finally get to do what every Survivor has to do. Survive. This tribal is really just about surviving for me. This is definitely nerve-wracking, and I did not want to come here tonight, but we all have to make a choice and I hope we make the right one.

**Probst:** Alright, it is time to vote. Dreamer, you’re up.

No voting confessionals are shown.

**Probst:** I’ll go tally the votes.

Tamsyn looks at Aishia, who looks at Probst.

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

No one stands.

**Probst:** 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…

**MELISSA**.

Melissa nods, not worried.

**DREAMER**. (1-1)

Dreamer groans, not happy to see her name written down.

**MELISSA**. (2-1)

Melissa seems a bit more nervous, as Tyler looks at Probst silently.

**Probst:** Eight person voted out of Survivor: India… **Melissa**.

Melissa’s jaw drops, not expecting that, as Dreamer smirks.

**Probst:** That’s three, that’s enough. I need you to bring me your torch.

**Melissa (shaking her head and standing up):** Wow…

Tyler and Aishia look at each other and nod, confident of their decision.

**Probst:** Melissa, the tribe has spoken. Take your torch and head to Reincarnation Island.

Melissa does just that.

**Probst:** Well, like on Hara, your tribe unanimously voted to eliminate the person who was voted off tonight. Will that unity last? We'll have to wait and see. You can head back to camp, goodnight.

The Aatma tribe leaves, as the cred
