Episode 3

**Episode 3** is the third episode of *Survivor: The Okanagan*.

## Previously on Survivor...

**Jeff Probst:** The first blindside of the season left everybody reeling. But no one was more affected by the result than Jai Li.

*(shots of Jai Li sitting quietly in the shelter)*

**Jai Li:** I know what Julian was doing was putting my game in danger which is why I had to tell Domenick. But voting him out for it? That felt mean and dirty. I'm not that kind of person and I don't like playing that kind of game.

**Jeff Probst:** The vote also left Team Jon in a state of desperation, but even though they were left outnumbered *(shot of Domenick and Chrissy celebrating)* and outgunned *(shot of Tyson finding the idol)*, they still kept hope alive.

*(scene of Jon's team having their meeting)*

**Terrence:** Things didn't go our way but that doesn't mean it's game over. This old man still's got a lot of fight left in him.

**Jeff Probst:** Over at Kelowna, some people weren't having it with Gabriella and Jasmin's work ethic at camp.

*(scene of Parker confronting the girls)*

**Jeff Probst:** But despite the tension at one side of camp, sparks were flying on the other as Olive and Logan solidified a deal.

*(scene of Olive and Logan shaking hands after agreeing to work together)*

**Logan:** I like Olive, she's a cool chick and I definitely would like to play the rest of the game with her.

**Olive:** I get along pretty well with Logan... having him on the side could be pretty beneficial, especially if no one finds out about it.

**Jeff Probst:** After a heavily contested challenge, it was Kelowna who came from behind, snatching the win and sending Nkwala to their second straight Tribal Council.

*(shot of Olive winning the challenge for Kelowna)*

**Jeff Probst:** After a tense exchange between tribe members *(shot of Tyson and Alinah's blow up)*, it once again became Team Jon versus Team Chrissy with Domenick and Jai in the middle. But even though Domenick made it clear which side he chose, a last minute conversation left Jai Li with an emotional dilemma.

*(scene of Alinah and Jai Li having their heart to heart conversation)*

**Jai Li:** I can't do this... I don't want to vote for Alinah but I know Domenick will be so mad at me...

**Jeff Probst:** In the end, however, Jai Li gave into her coach's demands and voted her new friend out of the game.

*(shot of Jai Li casting her vote for Alinah)*

**Jeff Probst:** Fourteen people left, who will be voted out next?

## Story

### Night of Day 6

#### Nkwala Tribe

In the pitch black of night, the now six members of the Nkwala tribe return from their second consecutive trip to Tribal Council. After the coaches arrive shortly after, Jon is quick to pull his players off to the side.

**Terrence:** I really didn't think they'd go after her...

**West:** I feel so bad, she didn't deserve this.

**Jon:** It sucks. No easy way to say it. But we gotta push through. The two of you are still here and we have to make the most of it. I'm sure Alinah wouldn't have wanted us to just give up and accept our fate.

Despite Jon's best attempts at keeping up their morale, Terrence and especially West appear down in the dumps.

**West:** This just isn't how I was expecting my game to go..

**Terrence:** Things aren't going our way right now, but there's lots of game left to play. *(he attempts to cheer him up)*

**West:** Yeah, that's true...

Meanwhile, Domenick and Chrissy go off and sit together by the lakeshore, where their only source of light is the moon reflecting off the lake.

**Domenick:** Listen, I didn't say anything before because I didn't want you guys to be worried for nothing, but Jai Li was *this* close to flipping.

**Chrissy:** Wait, what?! Dom, are being you serious?!

**Domenick:** Shhhh! *(he motions for her to stay quiet)* I would have told you guys if things got nuclear, but she was pitching to me to vote with Jon's team and take out Tyson.

**Chrissy:** Why would she do that? *(she questions)* Domenick, you told us what you would keep her under control.

**Domenick:** Well considering your team is still in one piece I'd say I did my job. The reason I'm telling you this is for you to tell your people to start working on Jai Li. Keep that man in check. *(he says referring to Tyson)*

**Chrissy:** Alright, will do.

**Domenick:** I can only do enough to scare her straight.

After his talk with Chrissy, Domenick goes back to camp and finds Jai Li huddled next to the fire. He walks behind her and whispers in her ear.

**Domenick:** Look, I know that vote was hard for you and I'm thankful that you stuck with us. We'll talk more tomorrow. *(he whispers)*

Jai Li keeps looking forward and doesn't respond. Domenick takes his cue and decides to call it a night and goes into the shelter.

The rest of the tribe eventually decides to call it as well and they all go to sleep.

#### Kelowna Tribe

In the middle of the night at the Kelowna camp, a night vision shot of the shelter is shown, focusing on two figures cuddling together. Upon closer inspection, they're revealed to be Logan and Olive. The night eventually passes, marking an end to day six.

### Day 7

#### Kelowna Tribe

Night suddenly turns to day as the Kelowna camp is illuminated by the sun's rays. The scene immediately cuts to Olive and Logan who are discussing the events from the night before.

**Olive:** Do you think anyone noticed?

**Logan:** I don't think so? I'm not sure why it's that big of a deal. People cuddle all the time.

**Olive:** Yeah, I know. It's just super easy to get pegged as a showmance. Just takes one person to say it out loud and then it just spreads like wildfire.

**Logan:** Is that so bad? *(he teases)*

Olive gives him an incredulous look.

**Logan:** Ok, ok. Sorry. I'll be more careful from now on.

**Olive:** Thank you. I don't want you to get the wrong impression, I just want to be on the safe side.

**Logan:** No worries, I get it.

#### Nkwala Tribe

Across the lake, the Nkwala tribe is already up and about, with the shot focusing in on Jon who's sitting by the camp's fire.

Jon gets up and goes over to Terrence and West who are out talking amongst themselves.

**Jon:** Hey fellas. *(he walks over)* Hope I'm not interrupting.

**Terrence:** No, you're good. What's going on?

**Jon:** I was just giving our situation here some thought. It's time we find our salvation elsewhere.

**West:** And by that you mean?

**Jon:** Chrissy. Getting Domenick and Jai Li on our side keeps leading no where, so we gotta try different avenues.

**West:** Easier said than done. It sometimes appears like those guys have a freakin' blood pact or something. Just look at them, they're all as thick as thieves.

The three men look off in the distance to see Domenick and Chrissy talking by the lakeshore, Selene lying down in the shelter with Jai Li, and Tyson and Velma sitting by the fire pit together.

The scene then shifts to the aforementioned Tyson and Velma who've stationed themselves in front of the fire pit. Tyson is poking the still glowing embers with a stick while Velma watches.

**Tyson:** No use in keeping this fire going. We will most likely be heading out to a challenge soon.

**Velma:** Maybe you can give me some tips on how to properly start a fire later? I'd love to learn how to do it myself.

**Tyson:** This is something you should have learned before you came out here.

Velma stares at Tyson. Instead of being offended by the comment, she looks rather amused and smiles to herself.

**Velma:** So.. Tyson, what's home like? You have anyone waiting for you back home?

**Tyson:** Why do you want to know? *(he continues poking at the embers)*

**Velma:** You barely talk about yourself. We've known each other a week, can't blame a lady for wanting to know more about the people she's working with.

**Tyson:** I prefer to keep my civilian life private.

**Velma:** Well then, that's fine.

Velma considers getting up and leaving, but after taking another look at Tyson prodding the embers, she decides to stay put.

**Velma:** If you don't want to share stuff about yourself, then you're going to learn some stuff about me.

**Tyson:** Is that necessary?

**Velma:** Absolutely! I've got forty-four years worth of stories, so you better listen up!

With an annoyed expression on his face, Tyson sits back as he is blasted with story after story. In excruciating detail, Velma goes over several key moments on her life. She goes over how she first met her husband, how he proposed, her wedding, and all five of her pregnancies.

**Velma:** I can still remember the day I had Robin, my first baby, as clear as day.

**Tyson:** Are we done? No grandchildren I need to know about? *(he says sarcastically)*

**Velma:** I do have one grandbaby, but I don't really like to retell that story.. Sorry, it's just hard to talk about.

Velma is left quiet as she clutches a locket she takes out from under her shirt. For the first time in the game, Tyson shows concern over his teammate as he turns to look at Velma.

**Tyson:** I have two children. One boy, one girl, twins. *(he reveals)* Wife and I had them shortly after I came back from tour. I miss them, I just try not to show it because then people would see me as weak.

**Velma:** Aww Tyson, you don't have to worry about that. No one here will judge you for missing your kids, definitely not me. Thank you for sharing that though.

**Tyson:** Don't mention it. *(he says while looking around, making sure no one else heard)* But seriously, don't.

#### Kelowna Tribe

The scene changes to the Kelowna tribe, more specifically Jasmin and Gabriella who are lounging in their swimsuits by the lakeshore. Gabriella is laying supine with her buff covering her face while Jasmin sits against a tree.

**Gabriella:** It sucks I wasn't allowed to bring any tanning spray. This is like the clearest the sky has been since we've been here.

**Jasmin:** Why are you even trying to tan? You're already pretty dark.

**Gabriella:** Racist!

**Jasmin:** You know what I mean! Get any more tan and your skin is gonna turn to leather.

**Gabriella:** Don't be such a hater. I know you're just a jealous bitch cause your ghostly white skin burns the second a ray of light hits it.

**Jasmin:** As if!

Jasmin looks back to camp and notices the rest of the tribe gathered together while one of the guys tends to the fire. Chrissy's advice from a few days ago echoes in Jasmin's head.

**Jasmin:** Hey, get off your cute ass and let's go join everyone else. They're just chilling over there.

Jasmin stands up and starts tugging on Gabriella's arm.

**Gabriella:** O.M.G. woman, relax! I'm not done yet!

**Jasmin:** You're joking, right?

**Gabriella:** It's not my fault I don't have tanning spray. I'd be done a lot quicker if I did.

**Jasmin:** Alright, stay there then! You'll look sexy as hell when Jeff snuffs your torch. *(she says sarcastically)*

**Gabriella:** Sis, are you on your period or something? Stop ovary-acting! It's not that big of a deal! I'll come over when I'm done.

**Jasmin:** Did you just say "ovary-acting"? *(she pauses)* You know what, fine. I'll go.

Jasmin leaves and walks back to camp while Gabriella stays laying down, taking in the sun.

Jasmin approaches the rest of the group who are all having their breakfast servings of rice.

**Jasmin:** Hi guys. *(she waves to the group)*

**Logan:** Damn, we thought the two of you were in a hunger strike or something. *(he jokes)*

**Melinda:** Sorry we started eating without you two. We weren't sure how long you'd take. But here, we saved some rations for you.

Jasmin serves herself some food and spends some time with the rest of the tribe. Shortly after everyone finishes, Jasmin offers to lend a helping hand around camp.

**Jasmin:** Is there anything else that needs to be done?

**Parker:** Besides the dishes, I guess we need some more wood for the fire. You capable of getting that done by yourself?

Parker nods over to Gabriella who's still over by the lakeshore getting her sun tan on.

**Jasmin:** Yeah! No worries. I don't need her.

**Parker:** Ok then, holla if you need any help.

Jasmin ventures off alone into a nearby trail and starts collecting some wood to bring back to camp.

**Jasmin:** This is so easy. Why wasn't I doing this sooner? *(she asks herself)*

After a few minutes, Jasmin has a neat little bundle of sticks ready to take back. In the corner of her eye, however, she spots a brightly green-colored piece of string dangling out of a hole in a tree. Upon closer inspection, Jasmin discovers that it is wrapped around a small package.

**Jasmin:** What in the world is this?

She nonchalantly picks it up and unwraps it in plain sight, uncovering a bear-shaped pendant attached to a necklace. Jasmin begins reading the attached note out loud.

**Jasmin:** "Congratulations! You have found the hidden immunity idol. This idol is good through the final five Tribal Council. It is to be played after the votes are cast but before they are read." Oh my god, this can't be real!

**Jasmin:** It looks so cute too! I would totally buy something like this at the mall. Where the heck do I put it though?

Jasmin realizes that she is still walking around in her bathing suit and has no pockets to hide the idol inside.

**Jasmin:** I'll put it in my underboob for now I guess. But this is so crazy, how the fuck did I find it before anyone else did??

Jasmin is quick to gather herself, picks up her collected firewood, and goes back to camp before anyone sees her.

#### Coaches Challenge

Shortly after, both tribes convene at the challenge site. The Nkwala and Kelowna tribes take their seats on the benches while Cydney, Domenick, Chrissy, and Jon line up shoulder to shoulder on the mat. Unlike the previous two times, Jeff immediately gets into the challenge as everyone is focused on winning whatever advantage is up for grabs.

**Coaches Challenge:** *House of the Holey*

The coaches are attached to a rope where they have to maneuver through a rope obstacle grabbing bags of balls along the way. At the finish, each coach balances on a narrow beam while attempting to maneuver a ball through a maze of holes to the top. First coach to sink all three balls wins.

Once Jeff finishes going over the details of the challenge, he reveals the reward they'll be competing for.

**Jeff Probst:** To keep things interesting, the reward for winning this challenge will remain sealed in this bottle. *(he holds up a glass battle with a note inside)* The winner of this challenge will then open it once everything is over. Worth playing for?

All four coaches say "yes" in unison and the challenge immediately begins.

**Challenge Summary:**

* All the coaches are pretty even throughout the first part of the obstacle course. As they all get closer towards finishing, **Domenick** slowly falls behind.
* **Jon** is the first to get all his bags, followed shortly behind by **Cydney** and **Chrissy**.
* All three then start the hole maze almost simultaneously.
* **Jon** gets his first ball in, **Domenick** then joins the rest of the coaches on the maze.
* **Chrissy** gets her first ball in, while **Jon** gets his second.
* **Jon** is close to getting his third and final ball in but then drops it, **Chrissy** catches up after getting her second ball, **Cydney** gets her first.
* It is close between **Jon** and **Chrissy** but in the end **Jon** sinks is third and final ball first and wins his second coaches challenge.

Immediately after sinking his last ball, Jon drops the lever and lets out a loud alpha male-like yell. Domenick and Chrissy, both out of breath, look at Jon and then each other in disappointment.

**Jeff Probst:** Congratulations Jon!

After everyone regroups back at the mat, Jeff tosses Jon the message in the bottle and instructs him to take out the note and read it out loud

**Jon:** "As a reward for winning this Coaches Challenge, you are able to grant immunity to one person in this game which will be good at the next Tribal Council they attend."

Mid-sentence Jon appears annoyed that his reward for winning the challenge is not one he was hoping for. He keeps reading.

**Jon:** "You will also go on a special food reward where you, along with three players, will enjoy a three-course Italian meal!"

Upon reading that last part, Jon and some of the players sitting in the benches explode in excitement.

**Jeff Probst:** Alright Jon, give immunity to one player. It's good for the next time they go to Tribal Council.

Jon looks at all three of his remaining players. Logan, sitting over at the Kelowna bench, appears a bit jumpy. West and Terrence, sitting next to each other at the Nkwala bench just stare at Jon intently. After a bit of mulling it over, Jon makes his decision.

**Jon:** No hard feelings but we gotta share the love. I'll give immunity to Terrence.

Logan is completely shocked while West and Terrence celebrate Terrence's newly granted immunity.

**Jeff Probst:** Terrence, you're now safe the next time your tribe goes to Tribal. Jon, the meal will be served at a secondary location where you along with three people of your choice will get to fest on what will be the best food you've had since this game began. As for everyone else, got nothing for ya, head back to camp.

Both tribes gather up their stuff and head back to their respective camps. Domenick and Chrissy decide to stay with the Nkwala tribe while Cydney and Jon head on over to the Kelowna camp.

#### Nkwala Tribe

The scene shifts to the Nkwala tribe who've already situated themselves after returning from the challenge. Tyson finishes starting a fire and then goes into scouting mode as he tries to identify Jai Li's whereabouts.

**Velma:** Who are you looking for?

**Tyson:** Jai Li.

**Velma:** I think I saw her go to the lake a bit ago.

**Tyson:** Domenick's not with her?

**Velma:** He went to refill the waters with Chrissy. You're not gonna go talk to her are you?

**Selene:** I don't think that's a good idea. *(she jumps into the conversation)*

**Tyson:** And why not?

**Selene:** Putting it bluntly, you come off as a dick sometimes.. most of the time... ok all the time. You're just gonna end up pushing her away.

**Tyson:** I know what I'm doing.

Despite the warnings from his team members, Tyson goes over to the lakeshore and approaches Jai Li. After a quick head nod from Velma, Selene decides to follow Tyson in an attempt to minimize the damage he is about to do.

Tyson, followed closely behind by Selene, approaches Jai Li who's just sitting by herself under the shadow of a tree.

**Tyson:** Hello.

**Jai Li:** Hi.. *(she says softly)*

**Tyson:** I just came over to make sure that our teams still have the same end goal.

**Jai Li:** End goal? W-what do you mean? *(she nervously plays with her hat)*

**Tyson:** I mean if you're still keen in observing the pact that our teams made.

Jai Li looks at Tyson with a rather confused expression on her face and then turns over to Selene.

**Selene:** I think what Tyson is trying to get to is to ask if you're still ok with working with us.

**Jai Li:** Oh yes. That hasn't changed. *(she smiles at Selene)*

**Selene:** Wonderful! Tyson, you heard Jai Li, now let's leave her be.

Tyson continues to stare at Jai Li before turning away to head back to the shelter.

**Selene:** You're gonna have some explaining to do. *(she whispers)*

**Tyson:** No worries, I got all I needed from that.

Once Tyson and Selene head back to the shelter, Jai Li looks around to make sure the coast is clear before she gets up and goes towards one of the paths leading away from camp. After some searching, Jai Li finally finds what she was looking for.

**Jai Li:** Hi there.

The shot transitions from Jai Li to West and Terrence, who are startled as they are caught red-handed looking inside tree trunks and in some bushes, presumably for a hidden immunity idol.

**West:** Ohh.. hi. *(he says as he climbs down from a tree)* What are you doing out here?

**Jai Li:** Uhm, I was actually looking for you.

**West:** Me? *(he points at himself)*

**Jai Li:** Yeah.. both of you actually. I just wanted to apologize.

**Terrence:** For what exactly?

**Jai Li:** For lying to you about these last few votes. I.. really didn't mean to.

**Terrence:** Domenick didn't put you up to this did he?

**Jai Li:** No, no! He doesn't even know I'm talking to you right now! *(she stumbles with her words)* I'm just tired of being controlled by Domenick and that alliance. This isn't the game I signed up to play..

Terrence and West look at each other, surprised at this new revelation.

**West:** So what are you gonna do? Are you gonna keep voting with them?

**Jai Li:** I.. don't know. I just wanted to say sorry for leading you guys on..

**Terrence:** Well, I can't speak for West, but I accept your apology. You sound sincere in your words, but in this game actions speak a lot louder. I can tell that you're in a bit of a crossroads, but I hope you'd consider helping West and I get out of this predicament we find ourselves in.

**Jai Li:** Yeah..

**West:** But I'd love to get to know you a bit better! Alinah told me a bit about your conversation with her and I feel like you and I have more in common than we think. If you're serious about wanting get out from under of Dom's thumb, then Terrence and I would be happy to welcome you in with open arms.

**Jai Li:** ...Ok! Thank you! *(she says gleefully)* I gotta go now before Domenick notices I'm gone, but maybe we can talk more later.

**West:** Definitely!

Jai Li scuttles off back to camp, leaving West and Terrence perplexed at the conversation they just had.

**Terrence:** You don't think she was playing us? She sounded like she was being honest.

**West:** At this point I have no clue.

#### Kelowna Tribe

The scene changes to the Kelowna tribe returning from the Coaches Challenge. Once they arrive, everyone congratulates Jon on his win and then go about their business. Jon and Logan go on a walk by themselves.

**Jon:** Sorry again about not giving you the safety.

**Logan:** Nah man, it's good. I would have liked to be safe, but I get that you had a tough decision.

**Jon:** Thanks. So how are you doing? You think you're doing good on this tribe?

**Logan:** To my knowledge, I think I'm holding steady. Not a lot of people talking game, but I'm getting along great with people like Olive and Cole.

**Jon:** Dude, that's great! *(he fist bumps Logan)* Honestly, when I first saw how this tribe ended up my first instinct was to get everyone against Cydney's team, cause she has all her people on this tribe.

**Logan:** Yeah.

**Jon:** But from what's happening on the other tribe, I think our best bet is to get in with Cydney's team instead.

**Logan:** That's sorta what I was thinking. Gabriella, Alfie, and Jasmin all really don't talk to me.

**Jon:** Yeah, so just keep doing what you're doing and try to get in deeper with her players.

**Logan:** Heard that loud and clear! *(he playfully salutes)* So what are you thinking about that meal reward that you won? You taking all of Team Jon?

**Jon:** That's what I was thinking at first. But Jeff did say we'd be taken to a separate location away from camp, so if there was ever a chance to try to get someone alone to talk this would be the time.

**Logan:** That's true.

**Jon:** So maybe I'll take you, West and possibly someone from another team. I gave Terrence immunity, so I don't think he'll mind not going.

**Logan:** We can talk over options.

**Jon:** Alright.

Back at camp, Parker and Alfie sit together by the shelter. Alfie complains to Parker about some blisters he's gotten on his hands.

**Alfie:** I did not expect how physically taxing this game would be. Look at these. *(he shows Parker his hands)*

**Parker:** Damn, those look ripe. But at least that shows you're contributing something, y'know? Like here's physical evidence that Alfie Griffiths is getting shit done! *(ha laughs)*

**Alfie:** Yeah, it would just be nice if everyone contributed equally.

**Parker:** Oh, I already know. We talking 'bout the same person right?

Parker shrugs over to Gabriella who's having some rice to eat at the other side of camp.

**Alfie:** Mhmm. *(he nods)* I think she expected this to be a vacation or something.

**Parker:** It's crazy right? I've already confronted her once. I'd do it again, but I don't wanna start something with her.

**Alfie:** Yeah, I'd stay away from confrontation.

**Parker:** Yup.

Later that day, a boat arrives at both camps to pick up the people Jon selected to go on the reward dinner. On Kelowna, Logan bids farewell to his tribe as he steps onto the boat.

**Logan:** Y'all can share my scoop of rice amongst yourselves! *(he yells jokingly)*

Over on Nkwala, Jon, who rowed on over a bit earlier, gets in the boat along with West and Jai Li. Domenick looks with disapproval as the tribe's swing vote steps onto the boat with the enemy.

Jon, West, Jai Li, and Logan all convene on a different side of the lake. They step into a makeshift hut with a round table sporting some fine dining utensils. On a nearby table, the foursome can already smell the dinner they're about to consume.

**Jon:** Let's dig in!

Logan and West rush to the table and start serving themselves. Jai Li meanwhile goes over to Jon and thanks him for choosing her to go on this reward.

**Jai Li:** I know Terrence would have loved to come in my place, but thank you so much Jon for picking me. *(she graciously bows)*

**Jon:** I already gave Terrence immunity, so he didn't mind. But I'm glad to have you here!

Jon and Jai Li join Logan and West as they start serving themselves.

After gorging themselves, Jon and Logan decide to go on a walk, leaving West and Jai alone back at the hut. It is quiet at first, as both of them just stay silent after finishing their meals. West then decides start a conversation.

**West:** That was really good, wasn't it? I don't think I've ever eaten this much.

**Jai Li:** Yeah, I'm stuffed.

**West:** I feel like I'm going to explode.

Both West and Jai Li laugh but the laughter eventually turns to silence as the two just awkwardly sit across from each other, trying to avoid making direct eye contact. It stays like this for a bit as both parties are unsure how to proceed.

**West:** So, uh, what do you like to do back home? *(he breaks the silence)*

**Jai Li:** I.. hmm. *(she thinks for a moment)* I like to go on walks. There is a park close to where I live. That's where I take my baby brother to play. I just like watching him run around.

**West:** That's really sweet. I'm an only child so I pretty much spend most of my time playing video games when I'm not at school.

**Jai Li:** What do you study?

**West:** IT. I don't exactly love it, but it's a good field to get into, plenty of career opportunities, at least that's what my mom is always telling me.

**Jai Li:** It doesn't sound like IT was your first choice. *(she says rather inquisitively)*

**West:** It wasn't. I always wanted to be a video game designer, but I guess I was convinced by my parents that it wasn't financially feasible. I know they just want what's best for me, but I sometimes wish I'd spent the past few years actually doing what I wanted instead of trying to make them happy.

**Jai Li:** It's never too late. *(she smiles)* You sound passionate about it, so I feel like you'd be able to do it if you wanted to.

**West:** It's just a big step to take.

**Jai Li:** The first step is always the hardest, it will get easier after that.

**West:** You sure you're the motivational speaker on this tribe and not Terrence?

Both West and Jai Li share a laugh.

**West:** But thank you.

**Jai Li:** You're welcome!

The following scene eventually shows the sun set and the moon come out, marking an end to day seven of the game.

### Day 8

#### Kelowna Tribe

The next day begins with a scene between Cole and Logan. They’ve gone off together with canteens in hand, heading towards the water well. General chatter occurs between the two.

**Logan:** I got these right after I was released from juvie.

Logan points to the tribal-looking tattoos on his shoulders.

**Cole:** They’re definitely interestin’ to look at. Any significance behind them?

**Logan:** Nah, would have been awesome though. Just thought they looked cool at the time.

**Cole:** What about that giant one on your chest. I try not to stare, but it looks like a bat?

**Logan:** Yeah it is. I got this one just a month before we went out here actually.

Logan takes off his tank top to reveal a complex tattoo of a bat with its wings spread out all across his chest.

**Logan:** Got lucky that it completely healed right before I left.

**Cole:** And you got it cause it looks cool? *(he teases)*

**Logan:** Part of it yeah. I’m trying not to sound cheesy when I say this so you better wipe that smirk off your face. It’s supposed to symbolize death and rebirth.

Cole listens intently as the two continue walking along the path.

**Logan:** I got it to signify that all my messed up, criminal ways were over and to mark a new chapter of my life. I've been clean for a few years now so I just thought it was something nice I could do for myself.

**Cole:** Good on ya! *(he slaps Logan's back)* So I reckon you're ready to get all wife'd up.

**Logan:** That's the goal, right? Just need to find the right person. It's just tough trying to find someone good enough to take home.

**Cole:** You sure about that? *(he says snidely)* What about Olive?

Logan's eyes perk up after Cole brings up Olive's name.

**Logan:** What *about* Olive?

**Cole:** C'mon, I see the way the two of you look at each other. Just cause I've been out of the dating game for a while doesn't mean I'm blind to stuff like this.

**Logan:** Dude, you're crazy. There's nothing going on.

**Cole:** If you say so. Maybe I'm just getting the wrong signals. *(he says playfully)*

**Logan:** Maybe..

Logan stays silent as the two men finally reach the well. After refilling the canteens, they make their way back to camp.

The shot then shifts back to camp, focusing on Jon and Cydney who are sitting alone in the shelter together.

**Jon:** So what are you thinking?

**Cydney:** You tell me. I think it’s obvious that y’all have been going after me and my team since day one.

**Jon:** Doesn’t have to be like that though.

Jon looks around to see if anyone is nearby.

**Jon:** Listen, I’m not trying to get in with Dom and Chrissy. They’ve burned me one too many times.

**Cydney:** So what are you saying?

**Jon:** What’s going on over at Nkwala is a different story, but on this tribe I’d suggest we team up. It's the smartest play for both of us.

**Cydney:** So my four plus Logan.

**Jon:** That’s five and that’s all we need. What do you think?

**Cydney:** It’s the best plan that’s been brought to me since the game started. But if you promise to not go after me, then I’m down.

Jon and Cydney fist bump as they solidify their plan. Jon leaves the shelter feeling good about their conversation while Cydney silently watches.

#### Immunity Challenge

Later in the day, both tribes once again convene for the immunity challenge. The Nkwala and Kelowna tribes stand on their respective mats while the coaches take a seat on their spectator bench.

**Jeff Probst:** Kelowna, I'll take that back.

Jeff retrieves the immunity idol from Olive.

**Jeff Probst:** Once again, immunity is back up for grabs.

**Jeff Probst:** The losing tribe will have to vote out the third person from the game. Nkwala, I know you guys are itching for a win.

The Nkwala tribe nod in unison as they want to try to avoid going to tribal three times in a row.

**Immunity Challenge:** Kamikaze

Each tribe has eight color coded tiles in a 4x4 grid of 16 tiles. One at a time, a representative of each tribe will throw metal balls to try and break their tribe's tiles. The first tribe to break all of their tiles, or have them broken, wins immunity.

After Jeff explains the challenge, he tells Kelowna that they have to sit out two people. A majority of the Kelowna members insist that the elderly Melinda be one of the sit outs, but after she insists on competing, they eventually decide on Alfie and Jasmin.

**Challenge Summary:**

* Both **Parker** and **Tyson** hit their mark as both manage to break a tile for their tribes; 7-7.
* **West** manages to break one of his tribe's tiles, while **Melinda** accidentally breaks another one of Nkwala's tiles; 5-7.
* **Logan** steps up and breaks one of his tribe's tiles, as does **Terrence**; 4-6.
* **Gabriella** and **Selene** both miss their targets; 4-6.
* **Jai Li** also misses her tile, but **Olive** manages to break hers; 4-5.
* **Cole** momentarily ties the score after breaking a tile but Nkwala extend their lead again after **Velma** also breaks her tile; 3-4.
* **Parker** throws again and goes two for two as he breaks another tile, **West** misses his throw; 3-3.
* **Logan** and **Terrence** both miss at their attempts; 3-3.
* As do **Gabriella** and **Velma**; 3-3.
* **Cole** propels his tribe into a lead after he breaks his tile while **Jai Li** misses; 3-2.
* **Tyson** ties it back up while **Olive** misses this time; 2-2.
* **Melinda** once again accidentally breaks one of her tribe's tiles, leaving Nkwala with one tile left.
* **West** clinches the win and earns Nkwala their first victory after managing to break his tile; 0-2.

As soon as Nkwala's last tile breaks, all six members of the tribe erupt in celebration as they win their first immunity challenge. The Kelowna tribe and Cydney especially have a look of concern on their face as they now have to vote out their first player.

**Jeff Probst:** Congratulations Nkwala on your first win. Come get your prize.

**Terrence:** Hopefully the first of many!

Terrence walks up to Jeff and takes the immunity idol. The whole tribe take their turns touching it as they walk back to camp.

**Jeff Probst:** As for Kelowna, got nothing but a trip to Tribal Council where one of you will be the third person voted out. Grab your things and head on out.

An aerial shot shows the Kelowna tribe marching back to camp in a single file line, followed closely behind by the coaches. The shot lingers on Cydney.

#### Losing Tribe

A dejected Kelowna tribe returns to camp shortly after. For the first time, all four coaches have players going to tribal so it's a mad scramble as they all pull their players aside to discuss their plans for Tribal Council. The scene quickly changes to Jon and Logan talking by the lake.

**Jon:** You still think you're good, right?

**Logan:** I mean, I think so. I have some good things going on with some people. Generally, I feel good with that whole Team Cydney group.

**Jon:** That's great. Any clue who they'll be going after?

**Logan:** Not really. That kind of game talk hasn't come up yet. But I can tell that some people aren't really feeling Gabriella.

**Jon:** Just touch base with them soon and we'll go from there.

**Logan:** Got it!

Chrissy and Domenick are then shown having a conversation by themselves. They immediately come to a conclusion as to who they have to target.

**Chrissy:** It has to be Logan.

**Domenick:** It's our only play right now. We just got to get to Cydney first before Jon does.

**Chrissy:** If we can convince her that we want to straight up eliminate Jon, then we're golden.

Alfie, Jasmin, and Gabriella all join Domenick and Chrissy shortly after. The two coaches relay their plan to their team members who all seem on board.

**Alfie:** We sure we can trust Cydney's team to vote out Logan?

**Gabriella?** Logan's the cute one, right? *(she whispers to Jasmin)*

**Jasmin:** Shhh, listen. *(she whispers back)*

**Domenick:** We'll talk to Cydney, but that's our only hope.

**Alfie:** Alright, we'll pile our votes on Logan then.

**Domenick:** Just sit tight.

Finally, the next scene shows Cydney with all her players gathered together. Cydney begins their discussion by throwing out the first name.

**Cydney:** So let's just talk about who we wanna vote out. I'll start, I think it should be Logan.

Both Olive and Cole react to Logan being brought up as a target.

**Cydney:** Cause let's be real. Looking at the other options, he's the biggest threat to us by a mile.

**Melinda:** I have to agree.

**Parker:** I'm not sure. Yeah, Logan would definitely be a problem in the future, but we kinda need him for challenges right now. I was actually thinking Gabriella. Girl just doesn't do anything.

**Cydney:** Ok, that's interesting.

**Parker:** She doesn't bring a lot to the table. Actually, she doesn't bring anything to the table if I'm being honest with y'all.

**Cole:** I gotta agree with Parker on this one. I think Logan can prove to be valuable to us, at least in the short term.

**Cydney:** Alright, so it's two and two. Olive, what do you think?

All eyes turn to Olive as she's forced to make the deciding vote between Logan and Gabriella. Olive thinks for a bit before eventually making her decision.

**Olive:** It's really tough, but I feel like it has to be Logan.

This immediately stuns Cole who has a shocked expression on his face. He looks at Olive, completely unaware of where this change of heart came from.

**Cydney:** Alright, there we go.

**Parker:** I guess majority has it. Logan it is then.

**Cydney:** Let's all get together again later. If anyone asks who we're voting for, just give them a fake name or something.

**Melinda:** Will do.

The group disperses once their team meeting is done.

Before they come back to camp, Cole manages to pull Olive aside and questions her about her decision during the meeting.

**Cole:** So what was that about?

**Olive:** What was what about?

**Cole:** Why Logan? Thought the two of you were kinda, uh, gettin' along and all.

**Olive:** What makes you say that?

**Cole:** I've seen you guys interact. I've noticed the cuddling in the shelter. And to be blunt with you, I'm pretty sure he fancies you.

**Olive:** Wait, he told you that?

**Cole:** Didn't have to.

The conversation goes silent for a few seconds as Olive doesn't know quite know how to respond.

**Cole:** Listen, I just don't wanna see the guy go. And it looks like this is all hinging on you. Trust me when I say that he's good for you and your game.

**Olive:** I'll mull it over.

**Cole:** That's all I'm askin' for.

Olive leaves to go back to camp, leaving Cole behind who watches her as she walks away.

**Cole:** This ain't good. *(he says to himself)*

Back at camp, Cydney finds Domenick and Chrissy, sitting alongside Jasmin and Gabriella, by the lake. She makes her way to address the two coaches.

**Cydney:** Mind if we talk?

**Domenick:** Yeah, go ahead. I was just gonna go find you actually.

**Cydney:** Now you don't have to. I've talked to my people but before we come to a decision I just wanted to know where your heads were at.

**Domenick:** Well I think it's obvious. Logan. Vote the guy out, kick Jon out of this tribe and Chrissy and I can finish the job at Nkwala.

**Cydney:** And you're all on board with that?

Chrissy and Jasmin nod while Gabriella appears disinterested in the conversation.

**Jasmin:** You're on board, right Gabby? *(she says sternly)*

**Gabriella:** Yeah, yeah, yeah.

**Cydney:** Great, it's a done deal.

**Domenick:** Fantastic!

Cydney leaves.

**Domenick:** I think we're solid.

**Chrissy:** Hopefully she doesn't screw us.

**Domenick:** I doubt she will. She looked excited when I brought up Logan's name. That's probably who they decided on as well and if there was ever a time to take a shot, now's the time.

The sun starts to go down on the Okanagan Valley. Logan is starting to get a bit nervous as he hasn't had a chance to privately speak to either Cole or Olive about the vote. He find Olive sitting in the shelter with some other tribe members. Without trying to be too obvious, he tries motioning to her to meet him away from camp.

**Logan:** Meet me at the well. *(he mouths to her)*

It takes a while for him to get her attention, but once he does, all Olive responds with is her shaking her head no. This confuses Logan who just walks off by himself.

The day finally ends with an uncertain Logan going to sleep after waiting out for Olive in case she decided meet him after all.

### Day 9

#### Losing Tribe

The following day quickly begins with the shot focusing on the shelter. Everyone's asleep except for Logan whose nerves kept him awake for most of the night. He silently pokes Cole in an attempt to wake him up without also disturbing his other tribe mates.

**Logan:** Hey, wake up. *(he says quietly)*

An unresponsive Cole stays asleep so Logan resorts to tickle his face with a leaf which immediately wakes him up.

**Cole:** What's going on? *(he says half asleep)*

**Logan:** We gotta talk. Come with me.

Logan walks towards one of the paths leading away from camp while a groggy Cole follows shortly behind. They eventually get to a small clearing.

**Logan:** Dude, what the heck is going on? No one is talking to me about the vote. I tried to pull Olive aside yesterday but she flat out refused to go with me. Should I be worried or am I just getting super paranoid?

Cole looks at Logan and decides to be blunt with him.

**Cole:** They're going after you.

**Logan:** Who's "they"? Domenick and Chrissy's people?

**Cole:** Everyone. My team met up and talked about the vote. Me and Parker wanted to gun for Gabriella but the girls pushed for you.

**Logan:** The girls? Wait, Olive wants me out?!

**Cole:** That was my exact response. Trust me when I say I tried to fight for you. I even pulled her aside to ask her why, but she seems dead set.

**Logan:** That doesn't make any sense though.

**Cole:** You need to go talk to her. But know that I got your back.

**Logan:** Yeah, will do. Thanks.

Logan looks rather upset as the two men split off.

The next scene shows Logan pulling Jon aside to relay everything Cole had just told him a few moments ago.

**Jon:** This isn't good.

**Logan:** Yeah, I know. Cole told me to speak to Olive but honestly, it's kinda hard to face her right now.

**Jon:** I get it. You're full of mixed emotions, but you gotta go talk to her. I know it's not exactly the same, but when Jaclyn and I had a big fight on our season we didn't talk to each other for hours. In the end, we came out of it alright, but holding on to your feelings does more harm than good.

**Logan:** You calling me and Olive boyfriend and girlfriend now? *(he jokes)*

**Jon:** That's exactly what I'm saying. *(he retorts)* The two of you are just having a lover's quarrel.

**Logan:** Oh my god, stop.

Jon gives Logan a pat on the shoulder before Logan runs off to go find Olive.

The scene transitions from Jon over to his fellow coach, Chrissy, who’s in the middle of a conversation with Jasmin.

**Jasmin:** Do you really think they'll go for Logan?

**Chrissy:'** Domenick seems to think so. But all we can do right now is take Cydney at her word.

**Jasmin:** Ok. I'm just nervous.

**Chrissy:** It's perfectly fine to feel like that. If everything goes the way it should, our path to the end gets a bit more clearer.

**Jasmin:** What do you mean?

**Chrissy:** I've given it some thought. If Logan does leave, that just leaves you outnumbered on this tribe against Cydney's team with no easy consensus target. So I was planning on having the guys over at Nkwala throw the next few challenges so that we can whittle down the rest of Jon's team. Then Dom and I can focus our attention on Cydney.

**Jasmin:** Oh wow, you've given it a lot of thought!

**Chrissy:** It helps when you have all this free time.

The next shot shows the sun moving across the sky, beginning to set behind the mountains, signifying that a considerable amount of time has passed. Logan, looking miserable as he knows he has a foot out the door, just watches Olive from a distance as she talks with members of her team. He hasn't been able to find the opportune time to talk to Olive alone. Suddenly, he notices her walk off alone into the trees and he dashes over, eventually catching up to her.

**Logan:** Hey, Olive!

**Olive:** Oh, hey. *(she appears distraught)*

**Logan:** What the hell? You ignoring me all of a sudden? Kind of hard to ghost a person when you basically live with them.

**Olive:** Sorry, I've just been so caught up in everything. People have been in my ear all day, so it's been hard to find time to-

**Logan:** I know it's me. *(he blurts out)*

Olive is shocked at the revelation. She has a hard time looking Logan in the eyes.

**Logan:** Just listen to me, we don't have much time left. I don't know what happened to make you turn, but I've always been with you. I know I can be a bit much at times, but I'm as loyal as it gets. I'm a great shield for you, these people will always come after me before they come for you.

**Olive:** Logan..

**Logan:** Sorry, just let me finish. I promise I'll never turn my back on you. Just please give me a chance. You won't live to regret it.

**Olive:** I never doubted you. It's just that-

**Parker:** Yo, Olive! *(he says off-screen)*

Parker's voice can be heard in the distance, interrupting what Olive was about to say.

**Parker:** Olive! Where you run off to? *(he yells again)*

Parker's yelling can be heard coming closer and closer. Logan, knowing his time has run out, gives Olive a prolonged look and then runs off before Parker sees them talking together.

Once Logan runs off, Parker arrives and asks Olive what she was doing.

**Olive:** Sorry about that. Just needed a minute to myself.

**Parker:** No big deal, Cydney just wants us to meet up one more time before we leave for Tribal.

**Olive:** Alright.

Eventually, all four member of Team Cydney, along with Cydney herself convene one last time before we head out.

**Cydney:** Ok, so we still set on Logan?

**Melinda:** That hasn't changed for me. He's a sweet young man, but he's just so threatening.

**Cole:** I wanna pitch something to y'all. I still think we need Logan for challenges. Why can't we just vote out Gabriella first. Then if we lose again we can do Logan. *(he tries one last time to save his friend)*

Cydney seems reluctant to the idea.

**Cydney:** Gabriella holds her own in challenges.

**Parker:** But she don't do shit around camp. *(he jumps in)* I gotta agree with Cole on this one.

**Cydney:** Alright, so just like last time, it comes down to Olive. Olive, you still want Logan out?

For the second time, all eyes focus on Olive. She appears conflicted as it appears her brief talk with Logan may have gotten to her head.

The scene immediately transitions from the team meeting to everyone walking towards Tribal Council, leaving the conclusion of the meeting a mystery.

#### Tribal Council

The Kelowna tribe arrives at Tribal Council later that evening. By this time, the only source of light is the moon and the countless torches scattered around the Tribal Council set.

**Jeff Probst:** Behind each of you is a torch, go ahead and grab one and dip it into the fire.

As the eight members of the tribe do so, the four coaches enter the Tribal Council area and take a seat.

'**Jeff Probst:** As you know, this is the ritual of Tribal Council. Fire represents your life and when it is gone, so are you.

Everyone finally takes a seat and Jeff begins his proceedings.

**Jeff Probst:** So lets get to the elephant in the room. Parker, in a miraculous turn of events, all the member of Cydney's team managed to stay together after the tribes were revealed on day one. Has this had a significant impact on the strategy on this tribe?

**Parker:** Of course it has, Probst. It became incredibly obvious that all eyes were on us. Would we stick together as a block? Would the other four people gang up against us? Those kinds of questions immediately came to mind the minute we put those buffs on.

**Jeff Probst:** And what’s the response been from the people not on Team Cydney? Alfie?

**Alfie:** I’d say fear was the first emotional response everyone had.

**Jeff Probst:** How so?

**Alfie:** Well you have this huge block of four people who are immediately together. We hadn’t even stepped foot on our camp yet and there’s already an alliance you’re not a part of.

**Jeff Probst:** Cole, from your perspective as someone within this supposed "block", do you see this as a blessing or a curse?

**Cole:** It’s a little bit of everything Jeff. On one hand, it’s nice to have people on your side from the jump. But on the other hand, you start feelin' a bit boxed in.

Cydney’s ears perk up at Cole’s response.

**Jeff Probst:** Does anyone see this twist as a whole as a curse?

Logan is the only one to raise his hand.

**Jeff Probst:** Logan, what makes you feel that way?

**Logan:** It’s kind of obvious. I wasn’t as lucky as these guys to have people from my team on here. It’s been just me, and as a result I feel like I’m on the outs a bit.

**Jeff Probst:** Jasmin, just like Logan, you’re the only member of your team on this tribe. You feel the same way?

**Jasmin:** I definitely see where he’s coming from. But I’ve still been able to make friends without having the rest of my team here.

She flashes a smile at Gabriella who’s sitting next to her.

**Gabriella:** Yass bitch!

**Jeff Probst:** Well, some of you feel comfortable with the teams, others don’t. Let’s see how that affects the vote. Melinda, you’re up first.

One by one the members of the Kelowna tribe make their way to the voting booth to cast their vote. A montage is shown as Melinda, Parker, and Jasmin all go up to cast their votes. Logan is up next. Once he arrives at the voting booth, he is seen writing down “Gabby” in big letters.

Jasmin is next after Logan, followed by Alfie and then Gabriella. Gabriella is shown writing down Logan’s name.

In the bottom corner of her vote, Gabriella also lists her Instagram and Twitter handles. Next up is Cole who follows through with his promise and also votes for Gabriella.

Finally, Olive is shown as the last person walking up to the voting booth to cast her vote. She stops for a moment before writing a name down which is not shown. She eventually returns to her seat.

**Jeff Probst:** I’ll go tally the votes.

Jeff goes to retrieve the votes and returns with urn in hand.

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

The shot focuses on Jasmin’s face and then to her bag. Jasmin decides to stay put and no idol is played.

**Jeff Probst:** Once the votes are read, the decision is final. The person with the most votes will be asked to leave the Tribal Council area immediately. I’ll read the votes.

The shot moves from face to face as Jeff prepares to read the first vote.

Jeff Probst: First vote...

Logan.

Logan nods.

Gabriella.

**Gabriella:** You bitches...

Logan. (2-1)

Gabriella. (2-2)

Camera focuses on Cole as he sees his vote for Gabriella come up.

Logan. (3-2)

Logan looks in Olive’s direction as she stays focused on the reading of the votes.

**Jeff Probst:** Next vote...

Gabriella. (3-3)

Jasmin begins to look worried. Domenick turns to look over to Cydney from the coaches bench.

Gabriella. (4-3)

**Logan:** Oh my God... *(he says in disbelief)*

**Jeff Probst:** Third person voted out of *Survivor: The Okanagan*...

Jasmin puts her hand on Gabriella’s lap.

**Jasmin:** Sorry, girl.

Gabriella.

**Jeff Probst:** Gabriella, you need to bring me your torch.

**Gabriella:** Whatever, I didn’t want to be here anyway.

**Jasmin:** Bye Gabby, I’ll miss you.

Gabriella and Jasmin exchange a hug after she goes to get her torch. She also waves goodbye to her coach.

**Gabriella:** Bye Dom.

Domenick looks frustrated while sitting on the coaches bench. Jon, who’s sitting behind him has a big grin slapped across his face.

**Domenick:** You got some explaining to do. *(he says to Cydney)*

**Cydney:** Yeah, yeah. *(she brushes him off)*

Gabriella eventually brings her torch over to Jeff and places it in the torch holder.

**Jeff Probst:** Gabriella, the tribe has spoken. Time for you to go.

Jeff proceeds to snuff her torch and she leaves the Tribal Council area, but not before blowing a kiss in Jasmin’s direction. She eventually disappears from sight and Jeff turns to face the remaining members of the tribe.

**Jeff Probst:** You guys just got your first taste of a blindside. Let's see if it leads to more. Grab your things and head back to camp. Goodnight.

Everyone grabs their belongings and with torch in hand, head back to camp, thus marking an end to this cycle of the game.
