## Story

### KUSAIE

Calm and peaceful music is in the background as the six remaining six players from the Kusaie tribe return to their camp, carrying their torches, illuminated by the light of the moon. They seem to be content with their decision at Tribal, as no sad faces are seen around the tribe. They place their torches in their usual place and proceed to go to the main area of the camp.

**Daniel:** We made the right call tonight guys. It needed to be done.

The tribe nods as they know Sandra was not ready for the game.

**Deanna (looking serious):** Sure, we did what had to be done.

The camera once again focuses on Daniel, who is sitting in the shelter backing his arms on his thighs.

Deanna is sitting with Hailey near the fire as the rest of the tribe talks and don't hear their conversation.

**Deanna (curious):** Sandra seemed specially mad at you when she left. Do you know why that?

**Hailey (lying):** It must be because I reassured her she was staying a lot of times during the day.

**Deanna (nodding):** Yeah...I guess. I'm sad we couldn't pull through with our plan tonight, but I think we made the right decision.

**Hailey:** We did, there was no reason for us to keep Sandra around anymore.

Deanna gently passes her fingers on her eyebrows as she seems to be still thinking about the lost opportunity tonight at Tribal.

The camera goes back to camp where now we see Hailey walking alone, getting near the beach, but still near the shelter where everyone is. The camera focuses on her face as she watches the waves at the sea from distance. After some time, she smiles as it cuts to her confessional.

Hailey returns to camp with a smile on her face, which catches the attention of her tribe mates.

**Cameron (smiling):** You are happy Hailey, what's up?

**Hailey (smiling):** Oh, nothing, I'm just happy about the decision we made tonight. It was getting harder to live with Sandra.

**Stephen (smiling):** It sure was, I'm on the same boat as you here Hailey.

Everyone chuckles as the mood around camp is very good for a tribe that just returned from Tribal Council.

Now the episode shows Daniel and Isaac laying on the shelter, whispering about their situation in the tribe.

**Isaac (worried):** Man, I think they tried to pull a fast one on us tonight.

**Daniel (relaxed):** Yeah, I sensed some lies flying around as well, but in the end was all fine.

**Isaac:** I know, but, the game keeps moving. What if we lose the next challenge?

**Daniel:** We will be fine. We have Deanna and I think Hailey really trusts me, that's four votes already.

**Isaac:** Well, if you are saying...I just think we need to set our cards for this game. We could be in trouble.

**Daniel (not worried):** We can think about it tomorrow. I'm just tired right now.

Isaac nods as he lets Daniel close his eyes as relax as the camera goes back to give more focus on the track runner.

We see Isaac observing Cameron and Stephen talking and laughing for a while before it cuts to the amazing intro of the series.

### Day 13

Haunting and exciting music plays as the camera runs through miles of trees until it arrives at a spot near the beach, where we see two colored tracks with a big container in the end and a seesaw on the beginning . Awaiting a little bit ahead of the structure is Jeff Probst.

**Probst:** Come on in guys!

The Weno tribe appears in a line looking serious as they look at the challenge and wonder what it is. Coming after them is the new Kusaie tribe as they also make their way to their mat and the camera focuses on Daniel's smiling face.

**Probst:** Weno taking your first look at the new Kusaie tribe, Sandra voted out at the last Tribal Council.

Once again no big surprises as the castaways are still intrigued by their upcoming challenge.

**Probst:** Are you guys ready for your next challenge?

Everyone nods as both tribes seem to be in a good mood.

**Probst:** Okay, but before we get to the challenge, you can drop your buffs because we are switching tribes.

A gong is heard as the music becomes more exciting. Shots of the castaways opening their mouths and covering their faces are shown as the only one we see smiling is Frank, who is happy about the surprise.

**Probst:** Just take them off and drop them.

The still shocked castaways start taking their buffs off as we see Carly having trouble with it as she was using it as a top. Everyone then proceeds to take the buffs off and throw them on the ground, looking to Jeff with perplexed looks on their faces.

**Probst:** Here it's how it's going to work. It will be a random swap. You each gonna draw a new buff and when I tell you to, you will reveal it.

Everyone nods as Jeff goes to them with a platter full of wrapped buffs. Each castaways grab one of the buffs. We see Deanna closing her eyes and pressing the buff against her chest and then Brooke picking up without looking at it. The last person to grab one is Vince as he gets the last one and kisses it.

**Probst:** Alright. When I say three you reveal. One....Two....Three.......REVEAL!

Everyone open their buffs as we see green and red bright new buffs everywhere. We see Frank with an red buff as he looks around to see who got the same color as him. Cameron and Stephen both got green buffs so they hug each other, celebrating. The castaways then proceed to go to their new mats.

After they are all grouped together they start hugging and welcoming the new members of each tribe and then the focus goes back to Jeff.

**Probst:** Cameron, are you glad with what you've got?

**Cameron (smiling):** Yes Jeff, I couldn't be happier. I'm still at Kusaie, I've got awesome new people here...everything is perfect.

The new Kusaie tribe is seen smiling and we see Stephen patting Cameron's back.

**Probst:** And what about you Nicole, liked the change?

**Nicole (sincere):** Of course a switch always messes with your game, but I'm positive towards this one. I like meeting new people and Deanna, Daniel and Hailey look like really great people, and I also think we can win some challenges!

Her tribe is seen smiling and nodding at her, appreciating the honest answer. And then finally, Jeff is ready to start the challenge. He explains the rules of the challenge and then proceeds to show the reward.

**Probst:** And the winning tribe today will also have a cool reward to take back to camp with them.

Everyone is eager to know what it is as Jeff reveals the amazing food reward. As he reveals it everyone starts groaning and sighing as they can't wait to eat some pastries.

**Probst:** Croissants, fruit tarts, chocolate eclairs plus everything you need to make a nice cup of coffee or some tea. This should enough for you guys to meet each other at the new tribes and start the game once again. Worth playing for?

Everyone nods and responds with a big yes as this reward was what they were waiting for.

**Probst:** Okay, tribes are even, no sit-outs this time. I'll give you one minute to strategize and we will get it started.

Everyone is seen getting ready for the challenge as the camera zooms out showing the challenge course and then fast forwards to when the castaways are all in their positions to start the challenge.

**Probst:** Here we go, the first reward challenge as new tribes. Survivors ready?....GO!

Both tribes grab their buckets and start running to fill it up. For the new Kusaie we have Cameron, Isaac, Vince and Brooke carrying the first bucket as they are seen running through the obstacles. However the Weno tribes takes a little bit of a lead with Deanna, Daniel, Nicole and Frank taking their first bucket to get filled. Weno arrives first at the water tower and water starts to fall on their bucket, but Kusaie is right behind them. Yet Kusaie leaves first as they think that amount of water will be enough for the challenge. A lot of holes from the Kusaie tribe are seen uncovered and we see a lot of water coming out. The Weno tribes takes its time but they go back with a bucket full of water and they also make a good job on covering the holes. The Kusaie fills their recipient with water and the seesaw comes down a little. The Weno tribe is more efficient as they got more water in their recipient. The second bucket for Kusaie is being carried by Stephen, Carly, Vince and Cameron but they don't go as fast as before as we see Carly having some trouble holding the bucket. The second group for Weno is Hailey, John, Frank and Daniel who also make quick work on the course. This time Kusaie and Weno arrive together at the water tower and Kusaie decides to take more time to fill their second bucket. On their way back Carly trips and falls on the ground costing the Kusaie tribe time and water. The Weno tribes continues on its streak as they arrive at their recipient and throw even more water at it. The third group for Weno is Frank, Daniel, Deanna and John as they are seem a little more tired then before. The Kusaie tribe drops only a little bit of water this time, but the third group of Stephen, Vince, Cameron and Isaac are ready to leave. Both tribes are slowing down but Weno still has the lead. They did lose some of their lead on this third go, but their bucket is also more filled than Kusaie's. The Kusaie tribe this time works around very well with the holes and seem to bring a way more water than before, but the Weno tribe also does the same. When they arrive with their water both recipients almost touch the ground but it seems like both tribes need at least one more bucket to win the challenge, so they go for their fourth time to fill in another bucket. The same people go for Kusaie again and Weno just switches John for Nicole. Kusaie now takes the lead and arrives first at the water towel while Weno is right behind them. However Weno leaves first, but with less water thinking that it will be enough. When they come back they drop their water and the recipient finally touches the ground, raising their flag and winning them the challenge.

**Probst:** WENO WINS REWARD!

The new Weno tribe is seen jumping and celebrating their first win as a new tribe. We see Nicole hugging Daniel and even Frank hugging the new addition to their tribe, Hailey. The Kusaie tribe is seen looking down, defeated as we see Brooke very tired of the challenge and Stephen wiping his sweat away. Then we proceed to see both tribes standing in front of Probst once again.

**Probst:** Weno, congratulations, first win as a new tribe, well fought. Come grab your reward and head to your camp, take some time to meet each other.

The Weno tribe is all nods and smiles as they go grab their reward. We see Daniel smelling the food and closing his way as he can't believe he won it.

**Probst:** Kusaie, I've got nothing for you today, I should also say that you need some time to meet each other, but that is all. Grab your stuff and head back to camp.

The Kusaie tribe sadly nods as they pick up their bags and start making their way out of the challenge area and back to their camp.

### WENO

The episode comes back with an aerial view of the Weno camp where the new castaways make their way to it. They are all smiling and excited about their first win as a new tribe. Frank and Daniel are the ones carrying the reward as once they arrive at the beach they drop their reward near their shelter and start hugging each other.

**Nicole (hugging Hailey):** Welcome to our home! I hope you guys like it.

**Deanna (nodding):** Beautiful camp.

**Daniel:** Yeah, look at all these reward stuff you guys got. *(pointing to the blankets and pillows)*

Nicole giggles as she proceeds to give Daniel a pillow, the lawyer then hugs the pillow making his tribe chuckle with his reaction as the camera keeps focusing on his face against the pillow.

Now the whole tribe is sitting in the sand in a spot near their shelter, where they prepared a table with all the reward they won. Everyone is eating and loving the food.

**Deanna (eating a chocolate eclair):** Oh my God, this is delicious.

**Nicole:** Don't even tell me about it. (getting chocolate from her fingers)

**Deanna (interested):** So, how were things back here at the Weno tribe.

**John (avoiding the topic):** It was all fine, we wish we had won more rewards but besides from that...

Deanna nods as the camera goes to Frank who eats in silence.

The view goes back to Frank as he finishes eating his croissant and decides to speak up.

**Frank:** Actually it wasn't that nice around here.

A gong is heard as the mood becomes tense at camp, as John looks to Nicole worried and Frank decides to keep going.

**Frank:** I mean, these guys blindsided me voting Wayne off, it wasn't the plan at all. We had our problems, because they showed me no honesty, they were all about lies and backstabbing, so I was super happy when I heard a tribe switch was on its way.

Deanna looks surprised at Frank's answer as she nods, trying to hide a smile.

**Frank (smiling):** It was pretty clear that John, Nicole, Vince and Brooke were an alliance with me and Carly on the outs, so I'm kind of glad we have new people here now, people I may be able to trust.

Daniel looks shocked but prefers to keep it to himself. We see John looking to Nicole and shaking his head, pretty angry at what Frank is saying.

The mood in camp is now a little bit quieter, as people eat and drink in silence until Nicole decides to let it go and breaks the ice.

**Nicole:** So...what about Kusaie, was everything fine there as well?

**Daniel (nodding):** Actually yes. We got rid of the two people that we thought was weaker in challenges and camp life.

**Nicole (smiling):** That's nice.

Daniel nods once again as the weird mood continues around camp. The camera focuses on Deanna, who is seen trying to hide a smile since Frank started to talk.

Now the episode shows us later in the day while we see Daniel and Deanna cleaning up the mess the tribe did while eating the reward. Frank is at a hammock sleeping and John is nowhere to be seen. However the view quickly changes to a top view of Hailey and Nicole walking to the water well.

**Nicole (smiling):** We just ate reward and we are back to work!

Hailey giggles and nods as the camera keeps the focus on the young student, who was quiet during the reward celebrating as a new tribe.

The two girls are seen filling in their canteens and some buckets with water.

**Hailey (smiling):** So, it was really this mess on the Weno tribe? Like...the way Frank described?

**Nicole (being honest):** No, not at all. He just felt the heat when we kind of dethroned him. He was the annoying bossy leader, you know?

**Hailey (nodding):** Oh...He kind of looks as one.

Both girls giggle as they continue with their chat.

**Nicole (curious):** But what about Kusaie, it was really that perfect?

**Hailey:** Well, it kind of was, in paper at least. We voted as a unity the both times, but there's was definitively some problems there. I was kind of alone, so I wasn't that much on the loop of things.

**Nicole (opening up):** Me as well. I was really blindsided on the first vote and had to suck it up to survive. Since then I think I never trusted no one anymore, at least fully.

**Hailey (smiling):** That's great to hear. It feels good to hear that someone was on the same boat as I was.

**Nicole (joking):** Totally, maybe fate even brought us together!

The girls chuckle as they smile at each other while finalizing to fill their last bucket. The camera highlights Nicole who is seen with a honest smile while picking up the bucket from the ground.

The two girls arrive at camp carrying a lot of buckets and when they finish they high five after a job well done. The camera focuses on both of their faces smiling before it cuts to the Kusaie camp.

### KUSAIE

As the scene passes from the Weno camp to the Kusaie camp we see some dolphins swimming in the sea as the music is clear and peaceful, nothing over the top. The Kusaie tribe is seen arriving from the challenge, obviously sad that they lost the challenge, but they are dealing well with it.

**Cameron (positive):** It was close guys.

Everyone nods and once they arrive at the shelter they start hugging each other just like the Weno tribe did.

**Vince:** Oh, I see the fishing gear, that's awesome. I bet you guys used it a lot.

**Cameron (nodding):** Yeah, fish has been our main meal on Oceania!

Vince smiles as he starts looking at the fishing gear more closely and then camera goes to Cameron who seems to be showing it to Vince, but we don't hear what he is saying as it cuts to his confessional.

As time goes by we see Brooke, Cameron and Stephen talking and sitting at the edge of the shelter, trying to meet each other better.

**Brooke (surprised):** So you make wristbands and necklaces? That's lovely, dear!

**Cameron:** Yeah, I don't make a lot of money, but it's enough to live the simple life I live.

**Brooke:** That's so cute! And what about you honey, how do you make money? *(giggling)*

**Stephen:** I'm an entrepreneur, I had a successful idea and I'm still earning money from it. It's a cool business.

**Brooke (surprised):** Oh, so young and so bright!

Stephen laughs a little at Brooke's comment and decides to ask her what she does for a living.

**Stephen (smiling):** And you?

**Brooke:** I'm currently retired, babe. I used to be a nurse, the best one in town! *(chuckling)*

The three of them laugh of Brooke's energetic personality as Vince approaches the shelter to drop his shirt, we see Brooke looking to him with a worried face before it cuts to the woman's confessional.

The next view of the episode is Isaac sitting near the fire, looking at it alone while messing with the buff in his head. Cameron approaches and asks if he needs his help.

**Cameron:** Need help with the fire? More wood, or something like this?

**Isaac:** No, I think is everything fine here.

**Cameron (smiling):** Great then, I'll go fishing.

Isaac nods and smiles as Cameron leaves him alone again and walks to the sea with a spear in hand.

The waves at the sea are seen crashing into rocks before it translates to Carly and Vince sitting by the beach.

**Vince (smiling):** We are together, babe!

**Carly:** I'm glad, I don't know what would be of me without you.

**Vince:** Possibly the fifth boot of Survivor: Oceania!

The two of them chuckle as the camera gives the focus to Vince.

The two of them are still at the beach and now they decide to really talk about the game.

**Vince:** So, we are good right? We need to stay together here.

**Carly (smiling):** Of course! We need to.

**Vince:** Perfect then. We need to talk with Brooke and make sure she really is with us and then we will have to search for a crack in this Kusaie tribe.

**Carly:** Oh, it should be easy, there's always cracks. *(playing with her hair)*

**Vince:** True, I'll talk to Brooke then and we are set to go and take control of this.

**Carly (flirting):** I'll gladly be your queen, my king!

Vince chuckles and smirks at Carly and then the camera changes the view to highlight Carly with her flirtatious smile.

Vince helps Carly to stand up and once she does she starts tapping her body to take the sand out and adjusts the bottom part of her bikini, clearly flirting with Vince.

### WENO

A new day starts in Oceania, the water is calm and the sun is shining bright in the sky, with just a few clouds for it to hide behind. We see some birds flying in the horizon as the view switches to some place in camp where Deanna and Hailey are sitting eating some rice out of a bowl and Daniel is seen arriving to greet the girls.

**Daniel (smiling):** Good morning. It's a beautiful day here, right?

**Deanna (nodding):** Yeah, it turns out that this camp isn't that bad.

**Hailey:** Not at all, I love that they have pillows.

Deanna and Daniel smile at the young girl's comment as the camera zooms in Daniel's face.

Daniel sits right beside Deanna as he brings up the game topic.

**Daniel:** So, girls, we are definitively sticking together here, right?

**Deanna:** You mean game-wise?

**Daniel (nodding):** Yeah, we kind of need to, it's three versus three right now. We can't go the merge low on numbers.

**Deanna:** Totally. I know where you are coming from. We will need to find a crack on the other tribe's alliance though.

**Hailey:** Well, I guess Frank is the odd one out. Is clear that he doesn't like the others and the others doesn't like him.

**Daniel:** True. And Frank seems like a walking target for me, he's the one I liked the least after meeting everyone.

**Deanna (joking):** True, #SandraFeelings.

Both Hailey and Daniel start chuckling at Deanna's comment as we see her playfully rolling her eyes before it cuts to her confessional;

Now Hailey and Deanna are seen alone again, sitting and with no rice left in their bowls.

**Deanna:** So, do you want to keep playing the game with Daniel?

**Hailey (confused):** Like, I do think it's the best thing we could do right now. But what do you mean?

Deanna is once again highlighted with a somewhat of a devious face.

The two girls are still talking and Deanna exposes her worries.

**Deanna:** Because I was thinking, Daniel is this all-perfect American guy, winner edit and everything else. And we were against him on your old tribe.

**Hailey (reluctant):** But shouldn't be better if we just stick together by now. It's safer.

**Deanna:** Maybe, but now we don't have the urge to stay together because the other tribe is clearly divided as well.

**Hailey (not sure):** Well, I'm going to think about it. For all we know we could keep winning all these challenges until the merge!

Deanna nods as she answers Hailey with a "I hope so" before it cuts to the student's confessional.

After showing Hailey's face for some more seconds the scene swifts to John and Nicole walking in the woods, trying to decide what to do after this tribe swap.

**John:** So, what should we do now?

**Nicole:** I'm as confused as you, brother.

Nicole looks to John with a pity face before it cuts to the single father's confessional

John and Nicole stopped in a private spot near a big tree and are now discussing their situation.

**John:** Okay, for me, what should we do is stick together and do our best to get Frank out of here.

**Nicole (trying to understand):** And then what?

**John:** Then we have just won three more days to break up the other three apart, this if we do lose this many immunity challenges.

**Nicole:** I like the idea. We should start connecting with the other tribe then. In a tribe five we would only need one more person to switch the game around.

**John (smiling):** Sounds perfect for me.

Nicole also smiles and nods as they shake their hands and decide to go back to main camp.

Nicole is seen arriving back at camp as Hailey gives her a bowl of rice as well as the woman thanks the young girl before it cuts to the other tribe's camp.

### KUSAIE

The day is also beautiful at the Kusaie camp. The ocean is calm and the sound of nature is heard around the whole camp, making their island a perfect paradise to relax. The camera proceeds to show us Cameron and Stephen swimming at the crystal water sea, enjoying their time together.

**Cameron (excited):** Like, can you believe we are here together?

**Stephen (nodding):** Yeah, we were very lucky on this one.

Cameron continues to smile as a happy kid that just won some candy as we proceed to hear his confessional.

The two friends are still at the water, talking about their future in the game.

**Cameron (curious):** So, you are the head of the duo, what's the plan? *(chuckling)*

**Stephen:** Well, man, we need to find our numbers. We need to make sure Isaac is with us and we need to aim for one of the girls of the Weno tribe, because they seem like the weakest.

**Cameron (agreeing):** True, but with only three votes it would be a tie.

**Stephen (explaining):** True, that's the second part of the plan. We need to find the crack in their alliance, if they even have one. I think Carly and Vince are close in a way Brooke isn't with any of them.

**Cameron:** Oh, so you are suggesting that we like use Vince and Carly's votes to get rid of Brook?

**Stephen (nodding):** Yeah, or maybe get Brooke to vote with us to send Vince or Carly home. We just need to make sure everything goes the way we plan.

**Cameron (smiling):** Okay, I get it now, good plan dude.

Stephen smiles as the camera keeps focusing on him as his confessional airs.

From the calm ocean to the tribe camp the camera flies through the white beach until it lands on Vince and Isaac sitting by the fire alone, tending it. The camera goes to Vince who is adding more dry wood to the fire, so it can continue to burn.

Vince then decides to bring up the game talk with Isaac at the fire.

**Vince:** So, man, how was life at the Kusaie camp?

**Isaac:** Fine, I guess. Not that bad.

**Vince:** Really? And what are your thoughts about Cameron and Stephen, I mean they seem like good guys but I only lived with them for one day and a half.

**Isaac (shrugging):** They are cool. I mean, they are pretty close to each other and that's it. I didn't spend much time with them either.

**Vince (slightly surprised):** Oh, really?

**Isaac:** Yeah, but what about you? Do you like Carly and Brooke?

**Vince (smiling):** Yes, yes. They are not that good in challenges, but they are really nice people.

Isaac nods as the camera goes back to focus on Vince smirking to the track runner.

The focus goes back to Vince and Isaac back at camp.

**Isaac:** I'll be right back, just got to use the bathroom.

**Vince:** No problem, it's your home after all!

Them both chuckle and the camera follows Isaac leaving the conversation with a smile on his face.

Meanwhile Cameron and Stephen were having fun in the sea and Isaac and Vince were talking by the fire, Carly brought Brooke to the middle of the trees to talk about the game.

**Brooke (trying to be nice):** So, what did you want, sweetie?

**Carly (smiling):** Nothing much, I just wanted to talk a little about the game with you.

Brooke smiles back as the camera gives focus to the two of them fake smiling to each other before Carly's confessional airs.

The two girls stop near a tree as Carly continues with her plea.

**Carly (explaining):** So, as you may know, me and you are going to be considered the weakest out here so we may as well team up.

**Brooke (nodding):** Yeah, that's kind of true.

**Carly (explaining):** I know Vince will protect us, so the only thing we need to do right now is stick together, do you understand?

**Brooke (nodding):** Sure. I agree with you.

**Carly (explaining):** So like, flipping right now would be totally the dumbest thing you could do, right?

**Brooke (nodding):** Yes. You're right.

Carly nods as well as she continues to explain the whole picture to Brooke.

**Carly (explaining):** Great. We still need one more person to join us, that's why every number matters here. If you got anything, tell us, okay?

**Brooke (smiling):** Of course.

Carly gives a quick smile to Brooke as the two of them proceed to go back to camp. We see Carly leading the way and rolling her eyes while sighing. However the camera goes to highlight Brooke, with a serious face.

Brooke and Carly get back to camp and Carly directly goes chit chat with Vince, whispering in his ear while Brooke observes with a serious face, the first time we see Brooke so serious. The scene continues for some seconds and then cuts to the commercial break.

### WENO

It's day fifteen on Weno and the castaways are waiting for their next challenge. Daniel and John are the ones going to get tree mail as we see they walking from the back as the camera highlights a tree in the boy's path where a big spider climbs it up.

The two men arrive at the tree mail place.

**John:** Yep, we definitively have something today.

**Daniel (smiling):** As expected, right?

**John:** Look man, while we are here alone, I would like to tell you something.

**Daniel (understanding):** Go ahead.

**John:** Well, I just wanted to take a weight off my shoulders. Frank was really mad at us because the last vote didn't go his way, but he over reacted a little at the reward.

**Daniel (nodding):** Oh, yeah, I understand. I kind of saw that too, no worries.

**John:** Yeah, he is the kind of guy who likes to be in control, so keep your eyes on him.

**Daniel:** For sure, he seems a little aggravating...

John smiles, happy to see Daniel understands what he tried to say.

As John and Daniel return to camp talking the camera goes back to focus on John as Daniel takes the mail to show to everyone.

**Daniel:** We've got a challenge, guys!

The tribe that was waiting for that cheers as they are ready to swoop in for their second win.

After John's confessional the scene quickly transitions to a big view of a field that contain the castaways next challenge. The camera zooms in each one of the obstacles, that are: a mud puddle, a sand hill, a net wall in A-shape, a big wood wall and a container with various bamboo pieces with a puzzle table at the end.

**Probst:** Come on in guys.

With the tribal music playing the two new tribes are seen arriving at the field and standing at their mats.

**Probst:** Are you guys ready to get to today's Immunity Challenge? First things first, Weno, I'll take it back.

Nicole is ready to give up on the tribal immunity idol but says she wants it back, making Probst smile before returning to his spot.

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

The castaways smile and Jeff goes on to explain the challenge rules. Everyone eagerly listens to it as each one of them want to win this immunity challenge as a new tribe. After he is done, Jeff proceeds.

**Probst:** Okay, easy enough. I'll give you one minute to strategize and we will get it started.

The castaways nod as the camera quickly goes up and down, returning to the point where all the castaways are already on their platforms, just waiting for Jeff's signal.

**Probst:** Survivors ready?...GO!

All the twelve castaways start going down the platform in a ramp, while some people manage to do it on their feet, some others fall flat on their butt and just slide through the rest of the ramp. Isaac and Cameron pull ahead for the Kusaie tribe and are able to jump the mud puddle, they are the only one to do so as the others all splash themselves in the mud. Isaac and Cameron help everyone on the Kusaie tribe to get over the sand hill, as Carly and Brooke are seeing having a lot of problems in the beginning of the challenge. At the Weno tribe Daniel, Frank and Deanna are the ones helping and only Hailey has a little bit of trouble climbing the sand hill but yet the Weno tribe pulls ahead, completing the first obstacle first. They start on the second obstacle as everyone goes through it pretty quickly, but Nicole that stays behind to help Hailey do it. The Kusaie tribe finishes the first obstacle and then proceeds to go for the second one, they also do it pretty quickly, besides Carly and Brooke who take some time to climb the net, putting Kusaie even more behind. Arriving at the third obstacle Nicole climbs on Frank's shoulders and Deanna on Daniel's to untie the ropes that are on the top of the wall to release a draw-bridge, after some time the Kusaie tribe finally catches up and Cameron and Stephen are the only untying the top ropes. The girls at Weno make quick work completing their part faster and then the whole tribe proceeds to untie the bottom part of the bridge. Cameron and Stephen win some time for Kusaie but it's still not enough as the tribe goes on toe release the whole bridge. The Weno tribe wins even more lead as Carly is barely helping her tribe anymore, almost going out of breath. The Weno tribe crosses the bridge and Frank is the one chopping the rope to release the bamboo puzzle pieces. When Frank releases the bamboos the Kusaie tribe finally gets across the bridge and Vince runs to chop the rope for his tribe. For Weno is John and Nicole working on the puzzle as the rest of the tribe keeps looking for the right bamboos pieces to give it to them. Vince makes quick work on the chopping part and keeps Kusaie at the challenge as himself and Stephen are the ones to work on the puzzle. The Weno keeps up the rhythm and John and Nicole work as a great duo on the puzzle, while Stephen and Vince try to catch up. In the end all the effort from Kusaie is for nothing as Nicole places the last piece of the puzzle and screams.

**Nicole (screaming):** LIVE TO PLAY ANOTHER DAY!

**Probst:** THAT'S IT! WENO WINS IMMUNITY! THEIR SECOND CHALLENGE IN A ROW!

Nicole jumps to hug John as the rest of the tribe cheers and applaud the two of them for their puzzle performance. John's face is highlighted as he barely can't contain a big smile on his face. Meanwhile Vince closes his eyes and shakes his head in anger while still looking at his puzzle table. The Kusaie tribe is defeated once more and Carly and Brooke are obviously the ones more tired after the challenge. Then we suddenly see Jeff taking the tribal idol as both tribes are standing in front of him.

*Probst:* Weno, congratulations, no Tribal Council for you as a new tribe tonight.

The Weno tribe applauds and cheer in celebration of their two wins in a row.

**Probst:** Grab your stuff head back to camp, nice work.

Everyone puts a hand at the idol as they all scream "WENO!" before applauding once more and leaving the area as the camera highlights Carly rolling her eyes at Weno's celebration.

**Probst:** Kusaie, your first Tribal Council as a new tribe tonight. One of the six of you going home you have the afternoon to figure it out who is gonna be. Head out.

The Kusaie tribe nods sadly as they pick up their things and leave Jeff to returns to camp. The camera focuses on Vince who looks pretty devastated after their second loss.

### KUSAIE

The last part of the fifth episode starts with a view of the micronesian forest, where some ants are running up a tree. Then the view switches to the Kusaie tribe arriving at camp, after their second loss in a row. Everyone drop their bags by the shelter as the camera focuses on Isaac hanging his bag on a tree branch.

We see now Isaac, Cameron and Stephen sitting in the beach, talking about the vote for the night.

**Cameron:** So, what do we do tonight? *(drawing in the sand)*

**Isaac:** I guess it has to be Carly or Brooke because of challenge performance.

**Stephen:** True, but we also have to think about who we want as our fourth vote.

**Cameron:** Well, I kind of talked a lot with Brooke these last few days.

**Stephen:** I was going to suggest her. She seems to like us more than she likes Vince or Carly.

Cameron nods and smiles as he thinks the same way than his friend.

The three of them keep discussing to get to some decision.

**Isaac:** So, I guess it has to be Carly then?

**Stephen (nodding):** Yeah, and me and Cam are going to talk with Brooke to get her on our side.

**Isaac:** Okay then, I guess we have a plan for the night.

Everyone smiles as Isaac then stands up and starts to make his way back to camp, so no one suspects that the three of them were planning for too long.

While the three boys were talking in the beach, Vince updates Brooke about their latest plans while Carly is seen taking a nap in the shelter.

**Vince:** Well, can I tell you what we are doing for the night?

**Brooke (nodding):** Oh, yeah, sure, dear. I forgot to ask you about it.

**Vince:** No worries. The plan for tonight is to vote for Stephen, because he is the weakest of the three of them.

**Brooke:** Yeah, that makes sense. And he does look like a sneaky little boy.

**Vince:** Exactly. We need to protect ourselves, because now wrong move and our fate is sealed for this game.

Brooke nods and sighs before we hear Vince's confession.

Vince now stands up and leaves Brooke alone, thinking by the fire as she starts to speak to herself.

**Brooke (whispering to herself):** Okay. Stephen. Keep it to yourself, woman.

Brooke continues to stare at the fire as she seems to be giving all she has to think about her choices.

The dolphins at the sea are once again seen as a scene transition to later in the day where Brooke, Cameron and Stephen are sitting in a private spot in the camp, where the forest meets the beach.

**Stephen:** It sucks that we keep losing these challenges, right?

**Brooke:** Yeah, we felt just like when Kusaie was in a winning streak!

Stephen smiles at Brooke, who is trying to clean her teeth with her finger nails.

The conversation between the three people continue as Stephen manages to bring up the game topic.

**Stephen:** So, Brook, how are you voting tonight?

**Brooke (hiding it):** I have no idea. I'm really confused, dear.

**Stephen:** Look, if you want any hint, we are voting for Carly tonight. She is the weakest in challenges and at camp. She doesn't talk with anyone but Vince and I just feel she doesn't want to be here.

**Brooke (falling):** Yeah. I think that too, she is so distant.

**Cameron:** Totes. She is so cold sometimes.

**Stephen:** If you vote with us we have a guaranteed majority and no rocks will be played. It's the fairest decision we could make tonight.

**Brooke:** I guess you are right. But what happens to me after this vote?

**Stephen:** You are with me and Cam. We will protect you.

Brooke nods, as says she agrees, but deep down she is still thinking about what to do.

While Brooke was being approached by the boys, Vince called Isaac to the water well to talk about the vote.

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

**Vince:** Let's get to the water well and then I say to you what I need to. I've got some confidential material here.

Isaac chuckles as the two boys keep making their way to the water well as Vince closely watches if no one is following them.

The boys arrive at the water well and Vince goes for his plan.

**Vince:** So, I will tell you everything I have for the night.

**Isaac (smiling):** Go on, man!

**Vince:** Look. I want to make a deal with you. Me and you, and only that. On our way to final two.

**Isaac (shocked):** Really?

**Vince:** Yeah, the people who stay in this game are the ones who know how to adapt. And I'm ready for it. Are you with me on this one?

**Isaac (surprised):** Okay, man. I'm ready, I think no one will suspect this duo here.

**Vince:** That's why it is so perfect. And tonight, we are going for our first move.

**Isaac (curious):** And I guess that would have to be getting rid of either Cameron or Stephen?

**Vince (nodding):** Exactly. I've got Brooke and Carly with us and we are ready to blindside Stephen, we just need your approval, dude. Stephen is the head of that duo and he is expandable in challenges, that's the one guy we need to take out of here tonight.

**Isaac:** It's a deal for me.

Vince smiles as he shakes Isaac's hands before they keep talking about the plan while the camera focuses on Isaac's face, listening to what Vince has to say.

The sun is seen starting to set as Isaac comes back to camp where Brooke is awaiting for him. She makes the runner a signal and the two of them meet in a private spot near the shelter, where no one is around to listen to their conversation.

**Isaac (confused):** You wanted to talk with me?

**Brooke (calm):** Yes, sweetie. About the vote tonight.

Isaac makes a face as he gets what Brooke wants, but then it cuts to the woman's confessional.

The two of them keep talking as sinister music plays in the background.

**Brooke (explaining):** So dear, I guess you are not that sure about what to do tonight as well, right?

**Isaac (holding back a little):** Hm...Yeah, to be honest. I'm still thinking through things.

**Brooke:** I think we are the so called "swing votes" tonight. And I wanted to talk with you to settle everything down. We can't have slips.

**Isaac (understanding):** So you wanna vote in common sense?

**Brooke:** Yeah, we've got to decide what should we do. Tonight, we are voting together.

Isaac nods as they proceed talking but we can't hear what they say. The scene switches to later in the day where everyone is grabbing their torches and the sun is almost set down. We hear Isaac's confessional as shots of the castaways walking to Tribal Council are shown.

The infamous music of Tribal Council starts to play as we see six torches lightning up the way to the Micronesian Hut, also known as the Tribal Council area. The castaways all place their torches in their holders and turn their sight to Jeff Probst, who was standing there this whole time.

**Probst:** Welcome yo your first Tribal Council as a new tribe.

Everyone is focuses with serious faces as Jeff goes on with Tribal Council.

**Probst:** Okay, Cameron, some days ago I surprised you guys with a tribe swap. How did that went for you?

**Cameron (smiling):** Well Probst, I think it went out the best way it could of have possibly went. I'm happy to be at my camp, and with my friend Stephen...Its just good Probst.

Vince chuckles a little and shakes his head as we see Isaac raising his eyebrows.

**Probst:** Vince, you are already laughing, could you share it with us?

**Vince:** Well, I'm laughing because it's clear that Cameron is only actually happy because he is with Stephen, the rest I think it actually doesn't matter.

**Probst:** And I guess that puts the spotlight on you Isaac. If Cameron really cares with Stephen where do you fit in in all of this?

**Isaac:** I think that by far we all know that Cameron and Stephen are really close, and I respect it. Like, good for them.

A gong is heard in the background as Vince nods.

**Probst:** Brooke, do you think old tribal lines will be in play today.

**Brooke (nodding):** Absolutely, sir.

**Probst:** So, Stephen, if old tribal lines are in play, what do you do to get majority?

**Stephen:** I think that Brooke meant to say is that there is obviously a line between Weno and Kusaie here. The one thing you got to do is pull one person from the other side and make your new team.

**Probst:** And what do you take in consideration after losing two challenges in a row?

**Stephen:** I obviously would also want to get rid of the weakest person.

**Probst:** Carly, if Stephen is looking for the weakest person of the old Weno tribe, who do you think it might be?

**Carly:** Hm, yeah, probably me. It's always easy to target me, you know? Chicken out and just vote for the easy target. That's how it always will be.

Isaac's thinking face is seen as Jeff continues.

**Probst:** So if its really clear the division, Vince, what the Weno tribe wants from the vote tonight? What do you guys aim?

**Vince:** Tonight we aim ahead. It's already day fifteen and you got to think about the whole picture, from here on out it's not vote the weakest and be fine with it, no, now you need to take control of your game, because only one is getting to the finish line.

The music heats up with Vince's speech as we see Brooke closing her eyes and making a sad face. Cameron looks to Isaac worried and the track runner just nods at him.

**Probst:** Okay, I feel like everyone is ready to jump for the vote. Cameron, you're up.

Cameron nods and stands up to make his way to the voting booth, The next one is Vince who is seen writing Stephen's name down. We see Carly sassily making her way to vote and then Stephen giving his voting confessional to Carly. The last one to go is Brooke who starts writing something but then pauses, thinking about what to do. When she returns to music starts to pick up again.

**Probst:** I'll go tally the votes.

Jeff leaves to go get the urn and we see Vince seriously looking at the host while crossing his arms and also Brooke covering her face with her hands. When Jeff returns, Isaac sighs and the host continues.

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

No one makes anything special, but the camera focuses on Vince who keeps looking at Jeff, waiting for the votes.

**Probst:** Okay, once the votes are read, the decision is final. The person voted out will be asked to leave the Tribal Council area immediately. I'll read the votes.

**First Vote: Carly**

Carly rolls her eyes and we see Cameron nodding.

**Second Vote: Stephen**

Stephen makes a slightly surprised face as he didn't know he was one of the targets while we see Vince still staring at Probst.

**Third Vote: Stephen** That's two votes for Stephen.

Stephen nods with his eyebrows up and Jeff continues.

**Fourth Vote: Carly** We are tied, two votes each.

Carly has no reaction as she just brushes her hair to the side.

**Fifth Vote: Stephen** That's three votes for Stephen, two votes for Carly. One vote left.

Now Stephen makes a more surprised face and we see Isaac looking at Brooke for confirmation.

**Probst:** Sixth vote and fifth person voted out of Survivor: Oceania: Stephen, that's four and that's enough, you need to bring me your torch.

**Stephen (shocked):** Wow. Isaac.

Stephen stands up shocked and so does Cameron, they bro hug each other as we see Cameorn sitting down again a looking at Isaac while shaking his head. Brooke covers her face once more and Vince is seen smirking while Stephen places his torch in front of Probst.

**Probst:** Stephen the tribe has spoken, it's time for you to go.

Stephen nods and turns to back to say his last words to Cameron.

**Stephen:** Go get them, brother. (pointing at Cameron)

Cameron sighs and nods as Stephen walks out of Tribal Council.

**Probst:** It seems like your first vote as a new tribe was also your first blindside together. Will tribal lines still be in play after tonight? We will have to wait to find out. Grab your stuff and head back to camp, goodnight.

The five remaining castaways stand up and grab their torches. We see Brooke trying to comfort Cameron, who looks mad at seeing his friend leave and then the camera zooms out, ending the episode.

## Next Time on *Survivor*...

* Brooke regrets her decision. *"It wasn't me in control"*
* Nicole wants to change the game. *"It's my time to step up"*
