## Plot

==CAMP FANG, Night 1==

The team is seen coming back from the Elimination Meet. Justin and Peter sit down by the glowing remains of the Camp Fire.

Peter: "It's crap that Veronica is still here."

Justin: "We've got to find out who voted off Meg and convince them that Veronica is the enemy."

Peter: "We need to convince the right people, or they might go spill the beans to Veronica."

Justin: "I'll bet anything that Veronica will be looking for the idol tomorrow."

Veronica looks at them from the ramshackle shelter across the camp.

==CONFESSIONAL==

Veronica: "Justin and Peter hate that I'm still here, but they're going to have to get used to it. I'll be here far longer than them."

==FOREST, Day 2==

Alex wakes up before anybody else is around, and sneaks off into the woods by himself.

==CONFESSIONAL==

Alex: "I woke up early today to look for the Immunity Idol. There's always one of those in these kinds of games. And, if there's one out there, I'll be the one to find it."

Alex goes into the woods and checks under bushes for the Idol with his hands, but can't find anything. He goes deeper into the woods nonetheless.

==CAMP CLAW, Day 2==

The camp is clearly in better shape than Team Fang's one, and Matt is seen tending to the fire while Elliott delivers an armful of sticks.

Elliott: "Hey, Matt. We should talk real quick."

Matt: "Sure, what's up, my man?"

Elliott: "What would you think about an alliance with Audrey, Lamar and Agatha? We're going to lose sooner or later, so it'd be great to have safety for when we do."

==CONFESSIONAL==

Elliott: "The way I see it, Britney, Tiffany, Nathaniel and Alex are the weakest members of the team. If my alliance can keep get them out of the game, we'll be set till the merge."

Matt: "Man, I'm glad Elliott asked if Audrey could be in the alliance. I like her, and this gives me the chance to get further in the game with her. Perfect!"

Elliott walks up to Lamar and Audrey who are chatting in the water.

Elliott: "Guys, can I have your attention?"

Lamar: "What's up?"

Elliott: "I think we need an alliance. An alliance of the strong. It'll be you guys, me, Matt and Agatha. And then we can get rid of the weaker members of the team."

Audrey: "Sounds fine by me."

Lamar: "Yeah, just don't pull nothin on us, alright?"

Elliott: "You have my word." He shakes their hands one at a time.

Agatha walks up behind him.

Agatha: "What's this?"

Elliott: "I was just saying that the four of us and Matt should team up to get rid of the other four."

Agatha: "Hmm. Okay. Who would be our first target?"

Elliott: "Anyone of the other four."

Later, Alex is seen by the fire, glaring at Britney and Tiffany who are lounging on the beach in their swimwear, chatting and laughing to each other.

==CONFESSIONAL==

Alex: "Tiffany and Britney are literally the most annoying people I've ever met. They just sit around on the beach and laugh about who-knows-what. 'Oh, You're so funny. Ha ha ha.' 'No, *you're* so funny. Hee hee hee.' I'd be happy to get rid of them both."

==CAMP FANG, Day 2==

Justin and Peter are looking for an Idol in the undergrowth just outside the camp.

==CONFESSIONAL==

Justin: "So, today, me Peter and Paula decided to search for the Immunity Idol before Veronica could get her hands on it. And then we'll use it between the three of us if we need."

Paula is searching at a different spot and spies a piece of paper on a bush stump. She bends over to pick it up.

==CONFESSIONAL==

Paula: "I saw a piece of paper on a bush earlier. So I kept it to myself and read it. It said to look for the Immunity Idol somewhere hot. I don't think I'll share this with the boys quite yet."

Paula walks up to the firepit, where Veronica is sitting, looking at the ocean for some stupid reason.

Paula: "Veronica. Guess what?"

Veronica: "What?"

Paula: "I overheard Peter and Justin talking about a clue to the Immunity Idol. To me, it sounds like it should be on the beach."

Veronica: "Is that so?"

Paula: "Yes, and here's what else. I'll sit here and watch for one of them coming and you can go scour the beach."

Veronica: "Okayyyyy...."

==CONFESSIONAL==

Veronica: "So, completely out of nowhere, Paula walks up to me and tells me that the boys found a clue to the whereabouts of the Hidden Immunity Idol. and what's better, is that she's absolutely stupid enough to let me look for it myself. She probably wants in on my alliance."

Veronica jumps up and skips happily to the beach, and begins to search under rocks.

Once Veronica is out of sight, Paula begins to look around the campfire, under rocks, in weeds, and finally under the stumps that serve as seats. And, sure enough, right under the stump Veronica was just sitting on, is the Hidden Immunity Idol. Paula looks it over.

Then Ben walks up.

Ben: "Hey! Whatchya got there?"

Paula: "Nothing..."

Ben: "Na, man, that's the Immunity Idol, isn't it?"

Paula: "No, it's a fake. I'm going to play a prank on Veronica. I'm going to tell her it's the real one, but it's fake."

Ben: "Sweeeet. Can I help?"

Paula: "Yes, you can help by not saying anything to anyone."

Ben: "Sounds like a plan."

He walks off to where Tom is leaning up against a tree, throwing pebbles at a tree.

Tom: "What was that?"

Ben: "Aw, nothing. Paula's just gonna prank Veronica with a fake Idol. That's all."

Tom: "A what?"

Ben: "Don't say anything to Veronica. I said I wouldn't tell anyone."

Tom: "Whatever."

==CONFESSIONAL==

Paula: "Now I've just got to hope that Ben keeps his word and shuts up."

==CAMP CLAW, Day 3==

Alex gets up early again, and sneaks off into the woods.

==CONFESSIONAL==

Alex: "I woke up early again today and looked for an idol. Luckily, no one saw me."

Audrey watches him run off suspiciously into the woods.

==CONFESSIONAL==

Audrey: "I saw Alex run into the forest today. He did it yesterday morning, too. And I thought, he's been spending a strange amount of time in the woods for the little amount of sticks he's bringing back..."

Audrey walks up to Elliott, Lamar, Matt and Agatha.

Audrey: "Guys... I think Alex is looking for the Idol."

Elliott: "An idol? I never thought of that. Alright, then. If we lose, we vote him off."

Lamar: "What if he's *not* looking for an idol?"

Elliott: "Then there's still an idol for us to grab after we get rid of him."

Matt: "I don't know... he's more useful than Britney or Tiffany. He's mighty good at puzzles..."

Elliott: "We can do without him."

Agatha: "We can do better without one of the girls, I think..."

==CONFESSIONAL==

Agatha: "I'm not really sure I trust Elliott too much. He's kind of shady and he shouts a lot. I think the others and myself aren't really safe with him around..."

==CHALLENGE, Day 3==

Charles: "Come on in, Claw Team!"

Agatha, Nathaniel, Alex, Elliott, Matt, Lamar and Audrey shuffle in. They wait as Tiffany and Britney stride in with wide eyes and big smiles. Tiffany: "HIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII, WORLD! I'm Tiffany Romano!"

Britney: "And I'm Britney Cooper!"

Tiffany: "We can't believe we've got this amazing chance to be on television. I wonder how things will go??"

Charles: "You've already been on TV... for the last three days."

Britney: "Really?"

Charles: "Yes. Really."

Britney waves embarrassedly at the screen before moving onto the Team Mat.

Charles: "Can I welcome in the other team, or is there something else you'd care to say?"

Tiffany looks at the ground.

Charles: "Great! Welcome in, Team Fang! Meg was voted out last night and placed 18th."

Team Fang stand on their Team Mat.

Charles: "Alright, time for me to explain the challenge. For this challenge, seven of you from each team will swim out into a maze in the water with small flags rolled into a tube." He motions to the flags, which sit neatly behind him.

Charles: "One member of each team will get the Team Flags and arrange them in the correct order to make a picture. Once the picture is approved by me, that team will win. The losers will send someone home. As for the winners... along with Immunity, I'm throwing in a Supreme Fishing Kit, which will help you get a bit more to eat around camp.

"Sound good?"

Everybody says "Yes."

Except Veronica. Veronica: "Uh... no. No it doesn't."

Charles: "Well, we're on a time crunch so I'm going to ignore that. Let's get started. Claw Team, you have one extra member and must sit someone out."

Nathaniel raises his hand. Nathaniel: "I'll just sit out. I'm no good of a swimmer."

Charles: "That was easy. Now, get ready for the challenge."

==A FEW MINUTES LATER...==

Charles: "Alright, building the puzzles for Team Claw is Alex, and Ben for Team Fang. Everyone else will be swimming."

Veronica: "Yes... we know already..."

--CONFESSIONAL--

Veronica: "I'm gonna throw this challenge. I need Justin and Peter out as soon as possible, before they can find the Idol."

--

Charles: "GO!"

Team Claw runs out to the ocean quickly, except Britney, who looks nervously at the water.

Britney: "Is this water safe? I don't want to hurt my ankle again."

Charles: "Yes... It's *safe*. Just don't *jump* in."

Britney looks cautiously at the water and hurries out behind everyone else.

Meanwhile, Veronica is holding a meeting with Tom and Emma at the water's edge.

Veronica: "Alright, let's not hurry too much. We can do this easy."

Justin: "Let's go!" he runs past and into the water. Veronica: "Ugh. Can you believe him?"

Emma: "Okay!" She follows eagerly.

Veronica: "Unbelievable."

Violet: "You know, we *should* get going, before we lose..."

Tom: "Yeaaah. Violet's right. We should." He follows Violet out into the water.

Veronica scoffs.

--CONFESSIONAL--

Veronica: "So, two seconds in and my plan to sabotage the team has already failed. So now, I'll just have to be better than them."

--

Veronica runs out into the water and swims past Tom and Violet.

Veronica: "HURRY UP, SLOW POKES!"

She passes Peter, Paula and Emma.

--CONFESSIONAL--

Veronica: "I was the champion swimmer at my school. These buffoons have nothing on me."

--

Team Fang is closing the gap between them and Team Claw, who's stalled at the entrance.

Elliott: "WHO'S GOOD AT MAZES?"

Tiffany: "You don't have to shout..."

Britney: "OOH! ME! I'm great at mazes! I can get us to the middle in a jiffy!"

--CONFESSIONAL--

Britney: "Yeah, this one time, me and my friend Tina Gilbert were in a corn maze in the country. Tina was in charge of the map, and she got us lost. But *I* got us out of it!"

--

Britney leads the others into the maze.

Matt swims up behind Lamar.

Matt: "Hey, dude. Can I have a word?"

Lamar: "Sure. What?"

Matt: "Do you think Audrey likes me?"

Lamar: "Sure. Why, has she said something about voting you off?"

Matt: "No, nothing like that. I mean *like* like."

Lamar: "What? No. Maybe. I don't know. Why are you asking me?"

Matt: "Well, I like her. Like, *like* like."

Lamar: "Cool, so tell her."

Matt: "That's a bit tough..."

Lamar: "Well then, maybe you don't like her as much as you think."

--CONFESSIONAL--

Matt: "Hmm... this could be dangerous. I'm not always the best with women. My roommate in college once kicked me out cause I asked his girlfriend if she could make me a sandwich. I was hungry."

--

Veronica swims ahead of the others, and Peter and Paula catch up to Justin. Peter: "We've gotta get her out of here."

Paula: "Yeah? She has the numbers. How are we supposed to get rid of her?"

Justin: "If only we had that idol..."

--CONFESSIONAL--

Justin: "I'll be honest, I hate Veronica. But if she's competing in the challenges, then I have to reason to."

--

Britney, meanwhile, has led Team Claw into a dead end. Elliott: "Which way do we go from here?"

Britney: "I, uh... let me see..."

Audrey: "Great. We're lost. Let's just find the other team and follow them."

Elliott: "Yeah, right. We're not gonna be able to find them at this point."

Matt: "Nah, man, they're right there!" He points to Team Fang, swimming by towards the center of the Maze. And then Team Claw is in hot pursuit.

Veronica reaches the middle first for Team Fang, where Ben stands awaiting the puzzle pieces. Veronica: "Let's *GO*, guys! Before they catch up with us!"

She reaches the platform that Ben is standing on.

Ben: "Ah, Veronica. Looking fine, as always." He helps her up.

Veronica: "Here's your puzzle piece." She hands him the flag.

Justin swims up: "Yeah, yeah, yeah. Get on with it and grab our flags, too."

Team Claw approaches the center, too and start handing Alex their pieces.

Charles: "It's anyone's game now!"

Alex and Ben start to build their puzzles. Ben: "Hey, Alex! This puzzle is hard! You should take your time!"

Justin: "What are you doing? Work on the puzzle."

Ben: "You know, slow and steady wins the race. So said Aesop. You know, we should listen to him. He was some wise shit."

Justin: "Great, catch us up on our Greek Fairytales later and build the puzzle."

Ben regards the mixed-up flags. Ben: "Only problem is, I can't tell what order they go in... I don't even know what it's supposed to be."

Veronica: "It's a SAILBOAT."

Ben: "Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh. Smart *and* Fine. Man, you're the full package."

Justin glares at Ben from where he is.

Alex, meanwhile, is building quickly. Alex: "Guys! I've used all the pieces!"

Elliott: "YES! WE WIN! CHARLES, WE WIN!"

Alex: "No, I used all the pieces and it's *not* done. I'm a piece short."

Elliott: "What? WHO DIDN'T HAND IN THEIR PIECE?"

Britney is trembling on the other side of the pool, crying a bit. Britney: "I... I don't know where I put it..."

Elliott: "YOU HAVE GOT TO BE SHITTING ME!"

Audrey: "Let's just look for the piece!"

She and Tiffany go to look for the piece.

Ben: "Hey, folks, I think I'm getting it. Just this last piece and... Charles is this right?" He looks back at his puzzle, a silhouette of a sailboat.

Charles scrutinizes the puzzle quickly then checks his reference sheet.

Charles: "YES! BEN HAS GOT IT RIGHT AND TEAM CLAW IS THE WINNER!"

Elliott: "DAMN It, Britney!"

==At the beach==

Charles: "Alright, Team Fang, here's your reward. And you are safe from tonight's vote. Team Claw, one of you is headed home."

Britney stifles a sob.

==Camp Fang, Day 3==

The team arrives, and immediately Justin and Peter jump into the Team's Canoe to go fishing. Tom and Ben hang out by the fire.

--CONFESSIONAL--

Paula: "We won today, and thanks to Veronica. I have to say, I'm actually starting to think maybe she's not too bad."

--

==Camp Claw, Day 3==

The team walks in angrily to camp, especially Elliott, who knocks the team's cooking pot over in his anger. Thankfully, it's empty.

Britney sits down by a tree and cries.

--CONFESSIONAL--

Britney: "I... I lost for us today... and now I'm going home. It's such a terrible feeling." \*sobs\*

--

Tiffany pats her comfortingly on the back.

Elliott summons Audrey, Agatha, Matt and Lamar. Elliott: "It's not a question. We vote out Britney."

They nod.

==Camp Claw, Day 4==

The camp is overcast by dark clouds, and heavy rains pour on the camp, forming large puddles in the camp. The team is staying in the shelter. A loud crying can be heard from the edge of the woods.

--CONFESSIONAL--

Elliott: "I woke up this morning to some god-awful bawling. I thought it was Britney realizing she was screwed, but no... oh, no..."

--

Tiffany is seen crying by a tree, with her face in her hands

--CONFESSIONAL--

Tiffany: "I feel so terrible. I'm out here, and my pets... they're missing me. They must be so SAD." \*wipes a tear from her cheek\*

--

Tiffany walks back to camp, where Lamar is building a shelter for the fire.

Tiffany: "Lamar... I want you guys to vote me off tonight..."

Lamar: "..."

Tiffany: "It's for the best."

She walks off, crying.

Lamar walks over to where the other alliance members are. Lamar: "Tiffany's told me she wants to get voted out."

Elliott: "She what?"

Audrey: "But why?"

Lamar: "Beats me. Do you think we should do it?"

Elliott: "She's so stupid... damn, I guess we just might."

Agatha looks confused.

--CONFESSIONAL--

Agatha: "I don't really know about Elliott. His alliance plans are all over the place. He wants to vote Britney one moment and then Tiffany the next. Plus, he screams a lot..."

--

The team packs up their things and walks to the elimination, with Britney and Tiffany sad, bringing up the rear.

==ELIMINATION MEET, Day 4==

The rain continues at the Elimination Circle. Charles is clad in a yellow rain jumper.

Charles: "Welcome, Team Claw, to your first elimination."

Claw Team sits down.

Charles: "I don't have much to ask you. I'm getting soaked, so let's make this brief. Elliott, who do you think is going home?"

Elliott: "Either Tiffany or Britney. Britney screwed up royally and Tiffany told us she wanted to go home."

Tiffany: "What about Nathaniel?"

Nathaniel: "What did *I* do?"

Tiffany: "Well... you didn't help in the challenge."

Nathaniel: "But, that's cause I'm not as good a swimmer as you guys."

Tiffany: "Yeah. That means you're weak. I'm not going home over someone weak like you."

Elliott: "Tiffany, do you wanna go home or not?"

Tiffany: "I had said yes, but now, I think not."

Elliott: "Well, then, Charles, I think I know who's going."

Charles: "Great. I would ask a few more questions, but since I'm getting flooded over here, you guys can vote now."

One by one, Team Claw goes to the voting booth, ending with Alex.

Charles: "I will go fetch the votes." He departs to the voting booth, and Elliott shoots an evil frown at Britney and Tiffany, who are cowering by themselves.

Charles returns and hoists the urn onto a table.

Charles: "Once I read the votes, the person with the most will have to go. If anyone has an Idol, they must use it now."

A moment of stillness aside from the pouring rain. And nobody steps forward.

Charles: "Alright, I will read the votes. First vote is for... Tiffany."

Tiffany sniffs

Charles: "Second vote... Nathaniel."

Charles: "Third vote... Britney."

Britney looks sadly at Tiffany.

Charles: "Tiffany. That's two votes for Tiffany."

Tiffany wraps an arm around Britney comfortingly.

Charles: "Nathaniel. Two votes for Tiffany, two votes for Nathaniel."

Elliott rubs his beard

Charles: "Britney. That's two votes each for Nathaniel, Tiffany and Britney."

Britney and Tiffany look at each other worriedly.

Charles: "Britney. That's three votes Britney."

Charles picks up the next vote and hesitates a moment.

Charles: "The second person voted out is... Britney. Four votes is enough, it's time for you to go."

Britney stands up sadly and gathers her bag of things. She wipes some tears from her face.

Tiffany gets up and hugs her. Tiffany: "I'll miss you, Britney!"

Britney: "I'll miss you more!"

Charles: "And I won't miss either of you. Now, Britney, go down for your final confessional."

Britney leaves under the "BYE!" sign and descends some stairs out of sight.

Charles: "Team Claw, the numbers are even. Things are close. It's going to be tough for you to beat Fang. Now, go back to camp. I'll see you for tomorrow's challenge."

Team Claw departs from the Elimination Circle
