## Story

### Night 29

The scene fades into a dark Sochi camp. A large bird flies off a branch before the focus turns to the final eight returning to camp. Freddy takes everyone's torches to place on a tree.

***Freddy:*** Well, that's what happens when you turn your back on your allies.

We see the alliance of five laying down, asleep, in the shelter while the three people in the minority alliance sit by the fire. Sasha pokes and prods at the fire while Glenn rubs his face and Freddy stares aimlessly.

*\*intro plays\**

### Day 30

The scene fades in to the Sochi camp. William and Jamie are the only ones up while everyone is asleep. William looks over to the shelter to make sure no one is awake before turning back to Jamie.

***William:*** We're still good to go to the end together, right?

***Jamie:*** I don't see why not. I mean we got the game on lock at this point right now.

***William:*** I think so. Just keep me up to date on anything you hear, ok?

***Jamie:*** No problem.

The focus turns to Jamie and William walking up to treemail. Jamie opens it up and takes out a large note.

We see Jamie and William return to camp where everyone is finally up. Seeing Jamie has something from treemail, everyone gathers around the two as Jamie opens up the note. As Jamie reads the treemail, we hear Freddy's confessional.

The scene cuts to the next reward challenge. After a few shots of the challenge, we see Probst.

***Jeff:*** Come on in, guys!

The final eight walk into the challenge area. After they all step onto the black mat, they turn to Probst.

***Jeff:*** Well you've been out here for thirty days without contact with your families.

At the mention of their families, everyone looks surprised. Beth covers her mouth and tries to hold back tears.

***Jeff:*** Well we brought them out. Beth, who do you want to see?

***Beth:*** My husband.

***Jeff:*** Hector, come on out!

Beth's husband, Hector, runs out to greet his wife. The two hug as everyone claps.

***Hector:*** I missed you so much

The two walk over to the sidelines as the focus goes to Jeff.

***Jeff:*** Freddy, here is your fiance' Chelsea.

Freddy rushes out as Chelsea runs from where Hector came from. The two hug with Freddy lifting her up. The two kiss as Freddy puts her down.

Freddy and Chelsea move over to where Beth and Hector are standing.

***Jeff:*** Glenn, here's your wife Dana!

Dana runs from around the bend as she meets Glenn and the two embrace. Glenn kisses her forehead as the two walk over to the other couples.

***Jeff:*** Gordan, your wife Sara.

The usually stoic Gordan breaks down as he and his wife meet and embrace.

***Gordan:*** I think of you every day.

The two kiss once again as they join the other loved ones.

***Jeff:*** Jamie, here's your boyfriend Dennis.

***Jamie:*** Oh my God!

Dennis runs from behind the bend and embraces Jamie. Jamie is seen tearing up as she kisses his forehead.

Jamie and Dennis go to the side as Jeff turns to the other three players.

***Jeff:*** Lisa, here's your dad Gerald.

Lisa begins to tear up as she walks forward.

***Lisa:*** Daddy!

Gerald runs to his daughter and the two embrace. After a short time, Jeff tells them to join the other loved ones.

***Jeff:*** Sasha, your mom Rachel.

Rachel runs into view as she and Sasha hug.

***Sasha:*** I missed you, I missed you.

***Rachel:*** I missed you to.

The two join the other six as Jeff turns to William.

***Jeff:*** Alright William, I didn't forget about you. Here's your wife Janet.

Janet comes into view as William makes his way over to embrace his wife. They hug each other tightly as they kiss each other.

After William and his wife join the other loved ones, Jeff begins to go over the challenge. The scene shifts to the final eight getting ready to compete in the challenge while the loved ones sit on the sideline. At the start of the challenge, the final eight begin to dig up their bags. Lisa, Jamie, and Freddy are the first three to get their bag and begin to spin around to get their next bag. William is the next to get a bag while the other four begin to struggle. Jamie is the first to get her next bag as Sasha gets her bag. Jamie tries to cross the balance beam but falls off immediately. Lisa gets her second bag and stumbles to her balance beam. Glenn finally gets his bag as his wife cheers him on while Beth and Gordan continue to struggle. Both Jamie and Lisa get their final bag as Freddy and William get their second bag and rush to the balance beam. Gordan finally gets his bag as Lisa and Jamie begin to solve the word phrase. Freddy gets his third bag as William starts to struggle on the beam. Glenn gets his second bag as Lisa begins to put the word together. After placing the final piece, she calls Jeff over. Jeff officiates the win, much to Lisa and her father's joy. The two rush to hug each other while William throws his bag to the ground. The scene then shifts to Jeff addressing the final eight.

***Jeff:*** Lisa, come on over.

Lisa and Gerald go over to Jeff as everyone else claps for them.

***Jeff:*** Alright, so you just won some time with your father. Choose two people and their loved ones to come with.

***Lisa (Upset):*** Oh man.

Lisa can barely look at the other seven as we see people looking hopeful and concerned. Lisa then points to someone in the group.

***Lisa:*** Jamie.

Jamie looks ecstatic as she and Dennis join Lisa and Gerald.

***Jamie:*** Thank you!

***Jeff:*** Choose one more.

***Lisa:*** Beth.

Beth looks surprised but she and Hector go to Lisa and hug her.

***Jeff:*** Alright, for the rest of you, say goodbye to your loved ones and head out.

The five not chosen all hug their loved ones and leave the challenge area before Jeff turns to the six that stayed.

***Jeff:*** You six, have a good time. Head out.

***Lisa:*** Thanks Jeff!

The three chosen for the challenge and their loved ones leave the challenge area as it becomes a slow-motion shot with the focus being on Lisa.

The scene cuts to the barbecue set up as Lisa, Jamie, Beth, and their loved ones arrive. They all sit at a table as locals bring them food.

***Beth:*** Oh my gosh, thank you so much.

***Beth:*** Thank you for picking us, Lisa.

***Jamie:*** Yeah seriously, thank you.

***Lisa:*** It's no problem. I just felt like us three needed it the most.

Lisa takes a bite out of a rib before looking over to the two women.

***Lisa:*** So I really think that the three of us should go to the end together.

***Dennis:*** Really?

***Jamie:*** I would be down for that.

***Lisa:*** I feel like if we go with the two men, we don't really stand a chance. Plus I want to see a woman win again.

***Beth:*** I want that as well. One of us winning would feel great.

The scene changes to the Sochi camp. The five who were not chosen for the reward glumly return. Gordan throws his buff to the ground, clearly the most upset.

***Gordan:*** Whatever, ain't like she was gonna win the game anyway.

Freddy rolls his eyes as he sits in the shelter.

***Freddy:*** Well I hope they're enjoying the time they have.

***William:*** Yeah, hopefully they have fun.

The four men lay in the shelter as Sasha pokes at the fire. She begins to tear up as she continues to stare into the fire. Glenn looks over and notices her crying.

Glenn walks over to Sasha and sits beside her. He begins to rub her back and she places her head on his shoulder.

***Sasha:*** It just sucks.

***Glenn:*** I know, it does. But we have to move forward.

***Sasha:*** I haven't seen my mom in two years and this was a chance to finally catch up.

***Sasha:*** I'm sorry, I need to go.

Sasha hurriedly gets up and walks into the woods. Glenn watches her but as soon as she is out of sight, he turns back to the fire.

We see a montage of Sasha looking around for the idol. She climbs up trees, treks through a lake, and lifts up multiple rocks but comes up empty handed. She throws a rock in anger before sitting in front of a tree and burying her face in her hands.

Sasha wipes a tear away as the scene fades to commercial.

### Day 31

The scene fades back in to the Sochi camp. After a few shots of the shelter of everyone sleeping, we see Glenn in the water with a fishing spear. He manages to catch a small fish and stuffs it in a bag.

Glenn returns to camp and begins to cook the fish over the fire. He takes his glasses off and hangs them from his vest.

Beth wakes up and joins Glenn by the fire.

***Glenn:*** Mornin'.

***Beth:*** Hey.

Glenn places a cooked fish into a coconut and gives it to Beth to have for breakfast. She picks out the eyeballs before picking the fish apart to eat it.

The two begin to laugh as Glenn takes apart his fish to eat. Jamie is seen rolling around and watches the two for a few seconds before turning back around.

Jamie taps William to wake him up. He slowly turns to Jamie while rubbing his eyes.

***Jamie (Whispering):*** We need to talk later.

The two walk into the woods without being seen by anyone else. Jamie has a look of nervousness as William is barely awake.

Jamie and William stop by the well. William rubs his eyes in an attempt to wake himself up a little more.

***William:*** So what is it?

***Jamie:*** So yesterday at the reward, Lisa wanted Beth and I to agree to a final three deal.

***William:*** Well what happened?

***Jamie:*** Well we agreed obviously but I'm telling you this because I don't intend on going to the end with them. Beth wants me to but I know I don't have a chance with either of them.

***William:*** So why are you freaking out?

***Jamie:*** I caught Beth talking to Glenn this morning and it looked like she was really into the conversation. I think we need to clip Glenn is Freddy wins immunity.

***William:*** Hmm.

The focus shifts to later in the day. Freddy, Lisa, and Sasha are laying in the shelter as Gordan, William, and Jamie tend to the fire and Glenn and Beth wash in the water. Freddy picks at his toes while Sasha looks like she is getting ready to make a plea to Lisa.

***Sasha:*** Lisa, do you still have any interest in joining us?

***Lisa:*** I mean...

***Sasha:*** Just please, be honest.

***Lisa:*** I do, but there's nothing I can do. If I flip, it'll tie. I can't risk rocks. I'm sorry.

Lisa gets up as Sasha's eyes follow her. She continues to glare at her while Freddy shakes his head.

***Sasha:*** What are we gonna do now?

***Freddy:*** Well with my idol, we can get them to hate me to the point they want me out. Then send someone like Jamie or William home.

***Sasha:*** Then we would be able to get Lisa on our side.

***Freddy:*** Exactly.

Freddy gets up from the shelter and walks around the camp. He watches as Jamie, William, and Gordan disperse from the fire one at a time before walking up to the boiling pot of water.

Freddy lifts the pot of water and dumps it over the fire. The sound of the fire going out attracts everyone else as Jamie and William rush over. Freddy throws the pot away from him and walks back to the shelter.

***Jamie:*** Freddy, what the f--k!?

***Freddy:*** Sick of you people.

Freddy then lays down as Jamie can only stand there in awe.

After Freddy's confessional, the scene fades to commercial.

### Day 32

The scene fades in to the next immunity challenge. After a few shots of the challenge, we see Probst.

***Jeff:*** Come on in, guys!

The final eight walk in to their next challenge and step on the black mat. After Jeff takes the necklace back from Freddy, he goes over the challenge. At the start of the challenge, both Beth and Glenn to begin to struggle. After five minutes, Beth is the first to drop a pot, followed by Glenn. Jamie's arm begins to shake but she is able to keep it on her post. Soon, Gordan bows out of the challenge, much to his anger. The five remaining players go on for another hour before William, Sasha, and Freddy begin to struggle. Freddy tries to adjust his leg but in doing so, lets go of his post. Jamie smirks towards William as Freddy sadly sits on the bench. Lisa soon follows, leaving Sasha, William, and Jamie left for immunity. After another thirty minutes, Jamie's arms drops as Gordan cheers on William to win. After fifteen minutes, William's left arm drops, giving Sasha the win. Only Freddy, Glenn, and Beth cheer for Sasha while everyone else looks disappointed. The scene then shifts to Jeff addressing the final eight.

***Jeff:*** Sasha, come on over.

Sasha skips over and Jeff places the necklace on her.

***Jeff:*** With this, you are guaranteed a spot in the final seven. As for the rest of you, one of you going home tonight. You have the afternoon to think about it. I'll see you tonight. Congrats.

Sasha rejoins the other in a slow motion shot. As they all leave the challenge area, the focus stays on Sasha, who is smiling from ear to ear.

The scene changes to the Sochi camp. The final eight return to camp as Sasha places the immunity necklace on a tree as Freddy pats her on the shoulder. The majority alliance continue to look disappointed by the immunity results as Jamie lays down in the shelter.

***Freddy:*** Great job.

***Sasha:*** Thanks.

We see Jamie still in the shelter looking bummed. William joins her looking a bit upset himself. He gives out a little cough before turning to Jamie.

***William:*** Not what we wanted, huh.

***Jamie:*** Nope, not at all.

Lisa, Beth, and Gordan all join William and Jamie in the shelter as Glenn, Sasha, and Freddy continue to talk by the necklace. Jamie shakes her head before turning back to her allies.

***Jamie:*** We all good with the plan?

***Beth:*** Yeah, send Freddy home.

***Jamie:*** Exactly. Just keep an eye on them to make sure he doesn't try to stir the pot.

***Beth:*** Don't worry, we're all solid.

The focus shifts to Freddy, Glenn, and Sasha still at the necklace. The two men high five Sasha and look over to the majority, who are still bummed in the shelter.

***Freddy:*** None of them are happy you won.

***Sasha:*** Yeah I know, let them sulk.

***Glenn:*** So you think this plan of yours will work.

***Freddy:*** Hopin' and prayin'.

***Freddy:*** I'm feeling good about tonight. I really am.

***Freddy:*** So, I'm thinking William tonight.

***Sasha:*** Honestly, I want Jamie gone. I see her as the bigger threat.

***Freddy:*** Here's the thing though, William is set up much better than she is. She's betrayed people and people see her as unreliable. If one of us end up with her at the end, we can beat her. None of us can beat him.

***Jamie:*** But she's the one making all the decisions.

***Glenn:*** Look, we can't get into an argument now. We need to decide on who we're voting.

The scene changes to William and Beth by the fire. William pokes and prods at the fire to try and keep it alive. He rubs his forehead as he begins to have a panicked look on his face.

***William (To Himself):*** Oh man.

***Beth:*** You ok, sweetie?

***William:*** I've been thinking.

***Beth:*** About what?

***William:*** I think one of them could have the idol?

Beth raises an eyebrow as William rubs his face nervously.

***Beth:*** Why do you think that?

William: It's just a bad feeling. I think yesterday was an act to try and get us to vote Freddy so he can idol me out.

***Beth:*** So what do you think?

***William:*** I honestly want to try and switch the plan from Freddy to Glenn.

We see a short shot of Glenn talking to Sasha and Freddy before switching back to William and Beth.

***Beth:*** I don't think the others will like that.

***William:*** It's something we have to consider.

Gordan, Jamie, and Lisa join Beth and William by the fire. Gordan is eating a bowl of rice while Jamie fixes her buff.

***Jamie:*** Alright Will, what's up?

***William:*** I've been thinking about the possibility of an idol.

***Lisa:*** Why's that?

***William:*** I have a sneaking suspicion one of them has it and will give it to Freddy tonight.

***Jamie:*** I don't think so. They would have played it last time.

***William:*** I just think we need to just switch our plan to Glenn. He's the least threatening meaning he won't get the idol.

***Jamie:*** I think keeping Freddy is too big of a risk though.

***William:*** It's just something to think over.

Jamie doesn't respond. Instead, she just walks off annoyed.

***William:*** I just want you guys to think it over. Its not that bad of an idea to get Glenn out.

Suddenly, Glenn walks by the four remaining by the fire. William stops talking as Glenn goes towards Sasha and Freddy by the ocean.

Glenn quickly runs up to Freddy and Sasha, who are both surprised to see him.

***Glenn:*** So I think I could be their target.

***Freddy:*** What?

***Glenn:*** I just heard my name pop up as someone to vote out.

***Freddy:*** Oh man.

The scene fades to Tribal Council. Intense music plays as the final eight march their way into Tribal. Jeff watches them as they place their lit torches behind their seats and sit down. After bringing in the jury, Jeff begins the QnA.

***Jeff:*** So last Tribal, Jeffery went home. Freddy, did that hurt you in this game?

***Freddy:*** Um...yes and no. Jeffery was a number for me but he turned his back on us and wanted us out so that was basically one less person against me and my alliance.

***Jeff:*** Your alliance being you, Glenn, and Sasha?

***Freddy:*** Pretty much.

***Jeff:*** So Glenn, if it's you three in the minority and Sasha immune, the other five only have you and Freddy to choose from. How do you deflect the target off of you?

***Glenn:*** Well I'm an old man. I'm not strong in challenges and I'm weak strategically.

***Jeff:*** Gordan, is Glenn correct?

***Gordan:*** He sure is. I haven't seen one thing the old man has contributed to the game so he is the weakest here.

***Jeff:*** Jamie, is this a tight five or have there been talk about making a big move against the five?

***Jamie:*** This is a loyal group. Honestly, all five of us have been tight and we intend on being tight until the final five.

***Freddy:*** I'd like to make a pitch.

***Jeff:*** Go ahead.

***Freddy:*** There is a bottom in that five. There's always a majority within the majority and that majority is Gordan, Jamie, and William. The three of them have been tight since the swap and if Lisa and Beth don't do anything about it, they will be fourth and fifth unless they team up with Sasha, Glenn, and I and make a move.

***Beth:*** But it's hard to trust you with your actions at camp.

***Jeff:*** What actions?

***William:*** He poured all our water on the fire.

Jeff's eyes widen.

***Jeff:*** Wow.

***Freddy:*** Yep.

***Jeff:*** Freddy, did you think twice before doing that?

***Freddy:*** I did and I did it to make a statement.

***Jeff:*** And what's that statement?

***Freddy:*** Don't f--k with me.

The music intensifies as William rolls his eyes and Gordan shakes his head.

***Jeff:*** Well this Tribal has been eye opening to say the least. It is time to vote. Lisa, you're up.

Lisa is the first up. Throughout the voting, no one has their confessional shown. William is seen taking a long time to vote but eventually writes a name that is blocked out by his back. After William sits down, Jeff goes up to get the votes and returns with the urn.

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

William looks over to the minority alliance while everyone else keeps their focus on Jeff. Suddenly, Freddy bounces up, much to the shock of everyone. Jamie's mouth drops while Beth shakes her head.

***Freddy:*** Here goes nothing.

Freddy hands the idol to Jeff before going back to his seat.

***Jeff:*** This is the Hidden Immunity Idol. Any votes cast for Freddy will not count.

William is seen looking at his pocket and starts to reach for it. However, at the last second, he decides not to take out the idol.

***Jeff:*** First vote: Freddy. Does not count.

Freddy starts to smile as Jamie can't believe her eyes.

***Jeff:*** Freddy. Does not count.

William takes a deep breath.

***Jeff:*** Freddy. Does not count.

Glenn rubs Freddy's back, both smiling.

***Jeff:*** Freddy. Does not count.

Lisa continues to watch Jeff pull out the votes.

***Jeff:*** Freddy. Does not count. We still have no votes for anyone.

William nods and continues to sweat out of fear. Freddy is seen sternly focusing on Jeff as he pulls out the next vote.

***Jeff:*** Jamie. That's one vote Jamie.

William breaths a sigh of relief while Jamie looks shocked.

***Jamie:*** Wow.

***Jeff:*** Eleventh person voted out and the fifth member of our jury: Jamie. Need to bring me your torch.

Freddy and Sasha high five as Jamie gets up. However, to their confusion, she doesn't grab her torch and goes to Jeff.

***Jamie:*** I found this the day we merged and it looks like it's coming out.

Jamie then pulls out the special idol and hands it to Jeff before going back to her seat. Freddy continues to look confused.

***Jeff:*** This is the special idol. What this does is discounts any votes counted towards Jamie. This means we have no votes cast for anyone.

Both Jeffery and Katie look shocked from the jury seats as Gordan and Jamie high five and Lisa laughs in disbelief.

***Gordan:*** That's what I'm talking about!

Glenn shakes his head, knowing what's about to happen.

***Jeff:*** We will now revote. You cannot vote for Freddy or Jamie. Lisa, if you'll take the urn.

Lisa gets up and takes the urn from Jeff. We go through the motion of everyone revoting as William is the last to vote. Jeff once again goes to get the votes and returns with the urn.

***Jeff:*** I'll read the votes.

Freddy gives Glenn a defeated look while Glenn just shrugs.

***Jeff:*** First vote: Glenn.

Glenn nods, knowing he is now the target.

***Jeff:*** Gordan. That's one vote Glenn, one vote Gordan.

Gordan laughs, knowing the vote means nothing.

***Jeff:*** Glenn.

William shakes his head in disbelief as Jamie smirks.

***Jeff:*** Gordan.

Gordan gives the minority alliance a smug look.

***Jeff:*** Glenn.

Glenn begins to collect his bags as Sasha shakes her head.

***Jeff:*** Gordan. That's three votes Gordan, three votes Glenn.

Lisa and Beth look at each other, still in disblief as Jeff reveals the rest of the votes.

***Jeff:*** Glenn.

Glenn nods as Sasha gives the judge a hug goodbye.

***Jeff:*** Eleventh person voted out and the fifth member of the jury: Glenn. Need to bring me your torch.

Glenn gets up and gets his torch. Gordan gives him a mocking wave goodbye as Jamie sits up straight, still grinning. Glenn places his torch in front of Jeff.

***Jeff:*** Glenn, the tribe has spoken.

Jeff snuffs Glenn's torch as the judge leaves Tribal Council silently. Jeff then turns to the final seven.

***Jeff:*** Well this has been the craziest Tribal I have ever seen. Just goes to show that no matter what, anything can and will happen in this game. Grab your torches and head back to camp. Goodnight.

The majority of five, still smiling, get their things. Sasha and Freddy glumly get their things as all seven leave Tribal as the camera cuts to black.
