## Story

### Night 3

#### **Zannimo**

The remaining seven Zannimo members make their way back to camp. No one looks happy with the situation, though Frank and Ian specifically wear a scowl upon their faces. Once they return to the shelter, Ian, who is boiling with anger, turns to Anika, trying to make her way to the shelter unnoticed.

**Ian:** Hey, Anika? Care to explain what the hell happened at tribal?

**Anika:** I'm not gonna talk about this right now. It's been a long night, and I-

**Ian:** *(Loudly to the tribe)* No Anika, I'd *really* like to know what exactly happened. I think we all would.

Many of her other tribemates nod in agreement, especially Frank, who's angrily leaning against a tree, arms crossed.

**Anika:** Y'all, you know what, if you wanna know ask me in the morning. I'm not playing "Let's attack Anika" tonight.

**Frank:** This is ridiculous. Just talk about it.

**Anika:** Can y'all shut your damn mouths? I am *tired*. I sure as hell can tell everyone here is, and I am willing to bet everyone else here is exhausted too. Our day was shit. We lost the first challenge and had to vote someone out. I say we get some rest and when we've slept on this some we talk about it and move on. Okay? Okay.

With that, Anika lays down in the shelter, pulling the buff over her face, ignoring Ian's protests.

**Ian:** Are you serious? She's serious. Okay. We all need to know who's side you're on! You can't play double agent, expose yourself, then pretend nothing happened. Answer the damn question!

**Jessie:** Alright Ian, that's enough. Nothing's gonna come out of her tonight.

**Ian:** Oh, I'm next anyways. Right? Get rid of the old weak man next? Isn't that right?

**Frank:** *(Placing a hand on Ian's shoulder)* He's right, Ian. Come on, let's go take a breather.

Ian stands there, shooting laser beams into Anika's head.

**Ian:** ...Fine. *(To Anika)* This isn't the end of this conversation. I thought you were stronger than this.

As the duo walks down the beach together, the scene cuts of to a confessional of Ian.

***-Cue Intro-***

### Day 4

#### **Zannimo**

The new dawn rises alongside a shot of the Zannimo camp, their yellow flag waving through the air as a swift breeze blows by. In the background, Nevada, Jessie, and Derek are surrounding the fire, tending to and stoking the growing flames. Since it's earlier in the morning, everyone else is either gone or still asleep.

**Jessie:** So, are we gonna address the elephant in the room?

**Orpheus:** You mean regarding last night?

**Nevada:** What else would it be about?

**Orpheus:**That's true. I don't know, man, the argument with Anika and Ian was weird as hell.

**Jessie:** I'm glad that Anika voted our way, but she killed her game last night.

**Nevada:** Exactly. If it wasn't for the fact that Carla was as obnoxious as she was, then my vote would have gone onto her.

**Jessie:** So what are we gonna do if we lose again?

**Nevada:** I think that's a pretty easy decision.

**Orpheus:** Same here.

**Nevada:** Anika.

**Orpheus:** Wait, Anika?

**Nevada:** Why *wouldn't* it be Anika?

**Orpheus:** Look, I get she blew up last night, but Ian and Frank are weaker than her. Maybe she can be calmed down. Warned, like how we wanted to warn Carla.

**Nevada:** I just don't trust Anika right now.

**Orpheus:** Neither do I, but I just worry that if we cut her first, we lose *again* and have to cut one of the Ian and Frank twosome out next. Besides, Anika at least voted with us. Frank and Ian didn't even want to work with us.

**Jessie:** I have to agree with Orpheus on this one.

**Nevada:** I just....Okay.

**Jessie:** What?

**Nevada:** I disagree with you guys. Honestly, we haven't even lost this next challenge, so this is basically fruitless discussion. Let's just sit on this until we lose.

**Orpheus:** That's true. We should also talk to Ursula about what she thinks too, that way all four of us have shared an opinion.

**Nevada:** If she decides to share her opinion, that is.

**Orpheus:** Come on, Ursula shares her opinions.

**Nevada:** She does. When prompted. My problem with Ursula is that she is meek.

**Jessie:** She is, but she is still a useful ally and a number for us. Plus I like hanging around her, she's sweet, if not neurotic. Who isn't though?

Nevada, struggling with the right words to say, crosses her arms and huffs.

**Nevada:** True. Hey, I'm grabbing some firewood. Talk later.

As she walks off, Jessie deeply sighs, something that elicits a chuckle from Orpheus.

**Orpheus:** She's stubborn, I'll give her that.

The scene shifts to later in the day after everyone's woken up. Frank and Ian are sitting down by the shore, watching the waves roll in as they talk.

**Ian:** Woah, I didn't know you did photography.

**Frank:** Oh, yeah, I even had my own photography studio way back in my early twenties. It wasn't much, but I enjoyed doing it. I found I liked musicality more than photography.

**Ian:** I don't have the artistic mind for that photography. We might both have technical backgrounds, but the difference between you and me is that when we look at a cloud, you'll see everything it could be. I see a cloud.

**Frank:** I...

Before Frank can finish, he stops himself as he glances down the beach, his facial expression souring.

**Ian:** What's wrong?

Ian turns to look as well, only to notice Anika, arms folded, walking down the beach towards them.

**Ian:** *(Bluntly)* Oh.

**Anika:** Hey. I'm ready to talk if y'all want.

**Frank:** I'm ready if you are. Ian?

**Ian:** I've been ready.

Anika sits down next to them, and the three share a moment of silence, tension filling the air. Finally, Ian breaks the silence.

**Ian:** I don't get why you fucked with our heads.

**Anika:** I just didn't think it was the smart decision to vote with you guys.

**Frank:** You're saying that *now*?

**Ian:** At least Orpheus had the decency to turn us down before tribal.

**Anika:** Look, Nevada, Orpheus, Ursula, and Jessie were voting out Carla and I didn't disagree with that decision. No one was budging and I wasn't going to go to rocks for Carla.

**Frank:** There are so many other ways you could have handled that. You realize that, right? You could have come to us, you could have let it tie, THEN flip for the sake of rocks. You could have tried to flip one of them. It just didn't seem like you cared about how anyone might react to your actions. It's a called a social game for a reason.

**Frank:** You do realize we would have flipped with you if you couldn't get one of them to flip, right? You could have at least warned us. No one wants to be isolated like this.

**Anika:** I'm sorry, okay? I shut down and my brain just ran faster than my lips could.

**Ian:** Obviously.

Anika exhales deeply, rubbing her temples.

**Anika:** Okay. What can I do?

**Ian:** Be honest with us.

**Frank:** Genuinely working with us would also be a good start.

**Anika:** I can't promise you anything when it comes to voting with you two. But I'll be more honest.

**Frank:** I don't have anything else to say about this really, so I suggest we move on, unless you have anything else to add, Ian?

**Ian:** All I'm gonna say is that you better stick with us this time, Dom.

She nods gravely, looking out into the ocean. The camera focuses on Frank's expression.

#### **Lanati**

A school of glimmering fish are shown swimming through a colorful reef as the show returns from commercial, the scene switching to Tyler and Will walking through the jungle together.

**Tyler:** Wait, so the song you played for her to impress her when you took her back to your apartment was *Wonderwall*? Don't you, you know, know other songs that aren't so overdone?

**William:** Wonderwall is a classic!

**Tyler:** *(He smirks)* It's also a song literally a kid can play.

**William:** Okay, okay, whatever! There are a *lot* of talented kid guitarists out there, just *desperate* to impress their crush with Wonderwall.

**Tyler:** Oh yeah, I bet.

The two guys laugh at each other as they continue to push their way through the dense undergrowth.

**Will:** So, how are you feeling about everything?

**Tyler:** Uhm, I feel pretty good about everything right now. We're in a good spot.

**William:** I feel the same way. I actually wanted to ask you about the two of us possibly working closer together? You know, as a pair? I just feel a pretty good connection to you and think you're a smart guy, and that I'm not *dumb*, so I think we'd be good partners.

**Tyler:** Well, I don't know...

**William:** Oh...

**Tyler:** You didn't let me finish. I don't know if I can work with a *guitarist* who played Wonderwall to impress a girl on a first date. "Not dumb" seems to be a little too gentle.

**William:** Fuck you! *(He laughs)*

**Tyler:** *(Laughing with him)* Obviously I'll work with you!

**William:** Okay, awesome! This is gonna be so great.

**Tyler:** I do think we should eventually pull two more people into this, at least as an option in case things collapse and power shifts.

**William:** Who were you thinking?

**Tyler:** Don't hate me.

Will stops in his tracks, physically deflating as his eyebrows furl and mouth sours.

**William:** You don't mean...

Tyler, being in front of Williiam, stops and turns around to face him, arms crossed.

**Tyler:** I do, bud. Rosa and Jodi.

**William:** No chance in hell do I work with Jodi. I'm sorry, I know you like her and that you two get along. That's awesome, good for you two. I do not like her.

**Tyler:** Jodi hasn't done anything to you on a personal level except annoy you.

**William:** You say that like it's not enough to target someone.

**Tyler:** I'm not saying that we go find them this second and solidify a four. I'm just saying that we bond with them, so if we need to, we can have a secondary option. You know just as well as I do that the little group of six we have is big and unstable. If someone flips, which will happen, having a contingency plan could be smart.

**William:** I just...*(He sighs)*

**Tyler:** Yeah?

**William:** If I get shitty towards Jodi or Rosa in this foursome, consider that the cost for putting me through this.

**Tyler:** I know you don't really want this, but hey, it might not even grow into anything.

**William:** *(Still irritated)* You owe me.

**Tyler:** I'll come to Portland and play guitar for you and Steph! There's a song I might play but, hm, can't put my finger on the name. Wonderment? No, that's not right...

Will grins and, shaking his head, starts moving again.

**William:** You're a real asshole, you know that?

**Tyler:** Only for you, Will! Love you buddy.

**William:** Yeah, yeah!

The two friends laugh at each other again and continue forward into the bush. After this, the scene changes to a shot of Rosa and Jodi tanning on the beach. Peppy calypso plays in the background as a crab comes up and pinches Jodi's toe. Immediately she screams, and the two women sit up to stare at the crab as it scuttles away.

**Rosa:** Are you okay?

**Jodi:** Yeah, I'm fine. *(Under her breath)* Fuck you crab, you...uh...crab...*bitch*.

The two women stop to look at each other before bursting into laughter.

**Rosa:** Hey, so I wanted to talk to you about Will?

**Jodi:** Oooh, he's cute! We stan a musician.

**Rosa:** No, not this one!

**Jodi:** What? Why?

**Rosa:** Okay, so here's the tea.

Rosa proceeds to explain the situation that happened Night One and all about how Will grabbed the idol using Rosa's clue.

**Jodi:** Oh my God...

**Rosa:** I know.

**Jodi:** We should totally work with him and Tyler! Make it, like, the four of us!

**Rosa:** Sweety, no, you don't get it.

**Jodi:** We're the four youngest and strongest, and maybe try to get Deena or Yvonne with us? If it's just us four then we play the idol and vote out Brian! Easy-peasy.

**Rosa:** But Will is an asshole.

**Jodi:** A hot asshole.

**Rosa:** Fine, a hot asshole who stole my idol and told me how I'm on the bottom of the tribe.

**Jodi:** Didn't he tell you that to save you, though?

**Rosa:** Oh my *God* Jodi, you weren't *there*! You haven't seen "Used Car Salesman" Will yet. The hot is just part of his charm. He uses that to lure you in but make no mistake. I bet you the million he's just *waiting* to use this against me. That's all everyone does, push me to failure.

**Jodi:** I'm not doing that!

**Rosa:** You'd be making it better if you helped me vote out Will. I'm not working with that thief and using that idol against him is the only way to secure my safety.

**Jodi:** *(Exhausted)* Can we just keep tanning? I'm tired of this.

**Rosa:** I'm gonna go do recon, see if he's shit talking me.

As Rosa starts to get up, Jodi rubs her temples, headache inbound.

**Jodi:** Okay, you go do that, hunny.

**Rosa:** I'm gonna walk right up there, and they're all gonna be talking about voting me out!

**Jodi:** *(Laying down, attention gone)* Mhm....

As Rosa storms off, the camera catches a glimpse of Jodi tanning again.

**Jodi:** *(To herself)* I don't care what she says, Will is still hot.

The scene ends with Jodi smiling before the show cuts to commercial.

### Day 5

#### **Zannimo**

The scene opens with a shot of the majority of the tribe sitting in the ocean together, minus Orpheus. Everyone is, for once, laughing and having a good time. Then, the camera focuses on a closed off Ursula.

**Nevada:** *(Laughing)* Jessie, there is no way. Liar!

**Jessie:** No, no, I promise!

**Nevada:** A toilet crashed into your apartment?

**Jessie:** Pipes and all. There was shit *everywhere*.

A groan rolls throughout the group, a few "ewws" tossed into the mix. Ursula, legs pulled up to her chest and arms wrapped around her knees, pipes up.

**Ursula:** *(Interrupting the conversation)* Have any of you seen Orpheus?

A silence falls over the group.

**Ian:** No.

**Jessie:** Do you know where he is?

**Ursula:** Well no, it's just odd he's not with us, I guess.

Ursula pushes her way up from the sand, waves lapping against her calves.

**Ursula:** I'm gonna go find him. See what he's up to.

She walks away from the group, shrinking more and more until she arrives at the beach. The rest of her tribe watches her walk off until they lose interest and go back to their conversation.

**Nevada:** *(Under her breath)* Weird.

After Nevada's confessional, Ursula is shown stepping into the jungle. She exhales, shoulders relaxing in tandem.

**Ursula:** I don't know how much more of that I could have done.

**Orpheus:** Done what?

Ursula jumps up from the tree she was resting on, her eyebrows raised in shock.

**Ursula:** Holy shit! Orpheus, you scared me.

**Orpheus:** Haha, sorry! I didn't mean to freak you out. Is everything okay?

**Ursula:** Well...

She twiddles her thumbs and bites her lower lip.

**Ursula:** It's just, well, I can't be on all the time. I didn't realize how much all this would be. I knew how hard this game was, but I didn't really put it into perspective. Sometimes I feel like such an outsider and that I am not meant to be here. It's so exhausting to constantly be around people and I just don't think I've been managing it in a healthy way, because I'm exhausted all the time.

**Orpheus:** We're all exhausted-

**Ursula:** I *know* that! I can't help it when all I feel like doing is sitting in the jungle and avoiding everyone. But if I do that, then I go home. I don't have a person like Frank does with Ian or Jessie does with Nevada. Anika is funny and *everyone* likes *you*. I'm just the book girl who no one thinks talks and I know that it's going to send me home! All it took were two votes the other way and I was gone, and it is total *shit* because the thing *I* did wrong was something I knew I needed to fix before coming out here but didn't have the courage to do anything about!

She chokes on a sob, breathing heavily, tears at the edges of her eyes.

**Orpheus:** Wow.

**Ursula:** I'm sorry, I didn't mean to yell or cut you off.

**Orpheus:** Hey, you're okay. You can't bottle that up forever. Thank you for telling me.

**Ursula:** I just...I don't know how to be strong sometimes. I sound so dumb. I'm in this situation because of me and I need to adapt to it, right?

**Orpheus:** Exactly, bro. I'm not in your head. I don't know what you're thinking. But what I do know is that how you feel isn't dumb. You deserve that respect.

**Ursula:** I guess sometimes....you know, it's hard to see that I guess?

**Orpheus:** Ursula, you are here for a reason. You need to find that superpower that's inside you. We all have something.

**Ursula:** It's easy for you to say that. You're you.

**Orpheus:** We all go through things. I've struggled. How we choose to heal is what's important. That's a hard lesson to learn. I would know.

**Ursula:** I've never really thought about it that way...

**Orpheus:** Look, I like you, Ursula. If I didn't want you here, I wouldn't be saying any of this to you. I don't know how everyone else truly feels, but I've got your back. But you need to have your own too.

Ursula smiles weakly.

**Ursula:** I appreciate that, Orpheus....Look, everyone's out in the water. We should both probably head back before people get suspicious.

**Orpheus:** Sounds like plan to me.

As the two walk back to the beach, the scene shifts to a confessional.

After her confessional, the scene shifts to a shot of birds chirping at one another in a tree before changing to a shot of Anika and Jessie walking through the jungle.

**Jessie:** What did you want to talk about?

**Anika:** You have three guesses.

**Jessie:** Oh we're talking about tribal. *(he laughs)* That's what I figured this was.

**Anika:** I just need you to understand that I was always with y'all.

**Jessie:** I'm not too worried. People are pissed, and people are going to continue to be pissed,-

**Anika:** That's what I'm worryin' over.

**Jessie:** I wouldn't. Ian and Frank are tight and are on the bottom. If we swap soon and they go together, they flip together. People are mad at you. I won't sugarcoat it for you. If I didn't think you were beneficial to keep around, I wouldn't tell you that. But, at least in my eyes, you're better to keep around.

**Anika:** I'm not what you'd call weak either.

The two arrive at the well and begin to fill their water bottles.

**Anika:** I appreciate where *you* are coming from. My concern is someone like Nevada or Orpheus. They're so tribe and loyalty oriented. I am too! Hell, I *voted* with y'all! But they won't see that after tribal. I ended up in a position where I had to play both sides. I froze. I don't put myself in that position in real life. What the hell am I supposed to do here?

**Jessie:** I see your point, Anika. The best you can do now is isolate Frank and Ian. That's harsh, but if you distance yourself from them, you don't look like you're still playing both sides.

**Anika:** And what if they flip Orpheus and Nevada or Ursula, even? Or you?

**Jessie:** Okay one, I won't be flipped. We need strength right now. You're strong. Two, all three of them view you that same way. People may get angry in the moment, but when it comes time for tribal, people are going to see what I see. We need you, and we don't need Frank or Ian.

After Jessie's confessional, Nevada begins to walk up to the well. She notices Jessie and smiles, but once her attention turns to Anika, the smile fades.

**Jessie:** Hey Nevada.

**Anika:** I'm glad you walked up, I wanted to talk to you.

**Nevada:** About what?

**Anika:** Last tribal. Jessie and I have been talking about it.

**Nevada:** Really? *(She subtly turns her gaze to Jessie, suspicion in her eyes)* What about it?

**Anika:** I wanted to apologize. Not just to Jessie, but you too. I was a mess at tribal.

**Nevada:** Understatement of the year.

**Jessie:** Come on Nevada, listen to her.

**Nevada:** I just don't very many productive things to say to you right now, Anika. I'm angry.

**Anika:** But I voted out Carla!

**Nevada:** That's not the point!

**Anika:** Tell me what the point is, then. Help me make this better.

**Nevada:** Okay Anika. Fine. Sure, you voted for Carla. Congratulations. What you *also* did was make it so that no one can tell you anything because you have *no* filter. If you can't take the heat, we'll take you out of the kitchen.

Anika's jaw drops and Jessie tenses up, crossing his arms and physically shifting away from the situation.

**Anika:** Was that a threat?

**Nevada:** It's not a threat, it's a warning. Get your shit together and learn when to shut up.

**Anika:** Excuse me?

**Jessie:** Nevada-

**Nevada:** Maybe that was harsh. But you have to understand that what you pulled yesterday wasn't super harmful then, but at a merge it could blow up a huge alliance or get you voted out. I'm harsh with you because you fucking up not only hurts your game, but it hurts the games of everyone you're working with. Sorry if that hurts your feelings, but it's the truth. I think you're a fine person, but your gameplay is shit right now. Fix it and then we can have a working relationship.

The well goes silent.

**Anika:** Cool. Great talk.

Anika, her water bottle barely filled, storms off back to camp.

Jessie turns to Nevada and exhales. She shrugs in response.

**Jessie:** That could have gone better.

**Nevada:** Maybe I was too honest with her. I just am angry right now.

**Jessie:** I get that. But, she has so much of a risk to flip to Frank and Ian for good now.

**Nevada:** Like she wasn't going to try and do that anyways. She has to know she's at the bottom of that alliance. I feel secure enough in our four right now that I think they won't be able to flip anyone.

**Jessie:** What about idols, though?

**Nevada:** Does it matter right now?

**Jessie:** It could!

**Nevada:** Okay, you know what, I'm sorry. Genuinely. I can see how that could have hurt your game.

**Jessie:** And yours. We're a team. I'm worried about both of us. If you need to vent ever, do it to me instead of the person pissing you off. Sound good?

**Nevada:** That works for me.

The scene ends with Nevada filling up her water bottle as Jessie glances at her and frowns, before the scene cuts to commercial.

#### Lanati

After the commercial, the show returns to a shot of flamingoes nibbling on something within a marsh. At the sound of a machete chop, they fly off into the distance. With the second chop, the camera shows Brian, slamming a machete down on a coconut. Everyone is lazing around camp, with Rosa and Jodi isolated from everyone else in the shelter.

Rosa and Jodi are sat away from the group, framed in the background of the conversation.

**Yvonne:** I'm starving.

**Deena:** Right? I could just about kill for a burger.

**William:** Oh God, please don't mention food right now.

**Joshua:** I'm backing that up.

**Brian:** We have rice boiling, we'll have food soon.

**William:** What about *actual* food?

**Deena:** Didn't you just say to not talk about food?

She raises an eyebrow and smirks.

**Rosa:** *(From the shelter)* I want shrimp scampi so bad. Where's that reward?

**William:** Didn't I just say to stop talking about food?

Deena lets out a snort.

**Rosa:** That is *rich* coming from you.

**Tyler:** She has a point. You did just contradict yourself.

**William:** Yeah, yeah, yeah. Whatever.

The musician rolls his eyes and grins.

**Rosa:** Seriously though, you did.

**William:** Okay. What's your point?

**Rosa:** You're just kind of a hypocrite.

Brian groans under his breath.

**William:** We're all just fucking around, Rosa.

**Rosa:** Okay, but that doesn't make you *not* a hypocrite.

**William:** I'm not doing this. Did I make anyone mad?

William looks around at everyone.

**William:** Genuinely, I'm sorry if I did.

**Joshua:** I didn't think so.

**Tyler:** Neither did I.

**William:** Thank you.

The camp goes silent for a moment.

**Rosa:** You made *me* mad.

Dramatic music begins.

**William:** Oh my *God*.

**Jodi:** Rosa, just stop.

Rosa, in battle mode, pulls herself out the shelter and makes her way over the group.

**Rosa:** No, this is what you do. You act like the good guy all the time, but you're just a prick.

**William:** What have I ever done to you?

**Rosa:** I can think of a few things.

**William:** Oh really? *Share.*

**Rosa:** Please tempt me more. I'm *begging* you.

**Tyler:** Shut *uuuuppppp*. Please!

**Jodi:** Ditto.

**William:** This is why no one likes you.

**Rosa:** I'm *well* aware people don't like me.

**William:** Then why are you talking?

**Rosa:** You know what, I don't know.

She turns on her heel and starts down the beach.

**Rosa:** I'm so tired of this game.

As Rosa makes her way out of the scene, the rest of the tribe is left in the wake of the argument.

**William:** Jesus Christ, man. *(mockingly)* "I'm so tired of this game." It's day six.

**Jodi:** Hey, I just want to apologize you guys.

The pink-haired girl makes her way up the group and parks herself between Yvonne and Joshua.

**Tyler:** You didn't do anything Jodi.

**Jodi:** I know, I know! She's just my friend and I care about her. Like, I know she has a bad attitude sometimes and, like, she can *totally* go overboard, but she just feels *so* alone. I think it's a defensiveness thing.

**Yvonne:** Hunny, her feeling alone? That's on her. Not on us, and definitely not on you.

**Jodi:** I know that it's not on me. I just want to stick up for my friend because she...I'm trying to find the words.

**Tyler:** She doesn't know how to do it herself?

**Jodi:** Yes, thank you!

She grips his wrist and smiles at him, a sense of desperation in her eyes.

**William:** Jodi, she's done enough to stick up for herself.

**Deena:** I don't disagree, girl.

**Jodi:** What do you mean?

**Brian:** Rosa is really hard to be around.

**Jodi:** Yes, but-

**William:** Jodi, you aren't going to change anyone's minds on this. You just need to step away and let things chill.

She pauses, taken aback. Deena side eyes William, raising an eyebrow.

**Jodi:** I guess you're right. Just please see where I'm coming from.

The group sits there in silence, a blanket of tension laid over the group.

After Deena's confessional, the scene shifts to Brian and Yvonne walking along the edge of a wetland, a sea of flamingoes congregated within the marsh.

**Brian:** So how old are your sons?

**Yvonne:** Thirteen and seventeen.

**Brian:** Oh, so they're older.

**Yvonne:** Yeah, Gavin is in the midst of a college search right now. He is so smart. Wants to go into Engineering. Evan is the younger one. He is so smart too, but has so much artistic intelligence. You should just *see* the things he creates.

**Brian:** You really love them, don't you?

**Yvonne:** Of course I do! You get it, you've got kids. Two girls, right?

**Brian:** Izzy and Rachel, yeah. They're a bit younger than your guys, but not so far off. Eight and twelve.

**Yvonne:** Oh God, I remember those years.

Brain guffaws, slapping the back of his neck.

**Brian:** You got advice?

**Yvonne:** For girls? *Hell no.*

The two burst into a fit of laughter over their children before the scene cuts into a confessional.

The two are recovering from their laughing fit.

**Brian:** Oh man... *(wiping a tear away)*

**Yvonne:** Hey, I don't mean to make things sappy, but I know you must miss having another person to help around with the kids.

**Brian:** Oh.

**Yvonne:** We do not need to talk about your wife if you don't want to. I know it has to be hard.

**Brian:** No, no. It's okay. Uhm...Yeah. It's hard.

Brian stops and sits himself so he is facing the marsh, Yvonne joining him.

**Brian:** Izzy was about a year and a half old when Neve got diagnosed. We did as much as we could, did all the things the internet said to do, went to all the doctors. But it just....I don't know. It wasn't supposed to happen, I guess.

Brian sniffles, tears forming in the corners of his eyes. Yvonne clasps her hand on top of his.

**Brian:** She fought *so* hard. Those little girls take after her so much, Yvonne, oh you should just see them. There is so much of Neve in each of them. So much life. It-...It's *so* hard to have to be the provider. To be the rock. I didn't know what to do. What do you do when your heart is ripped out? I was...I was so *so* lost. But you have to be there. When you have these little faces that look so much like her looking at you for guidance...You have to pull it together and be the rock. You can't fall apart when you have a family to take care of.

**Yvonne:** Oh Brian... I'm so sorry.

**Brian:** You know, it's okay. I am where I am today and am who I am today having gone through this loss. I'm a stronger man and father now. I think that's the one of the good things I got out of this loss.

**Yvonne:** You have to find the good.

**Brian:** Oh, for sure.

**Yvonne:** I really want to thank you for sharing, Brian. I know that had to be hard to do. You just don't...

He chuckles.

**Brian:** Seem like I share about it that much?

**Yvonne:** Yes. That's right on the money.

**Brian:** You're right, I don't. It's nice to just let it all out, I guess. My job doesn't really allow much time for emotional expression, you know?

**Yvonne:** I can completely relate....Well, if there's one thing about being out here, we will have plenty of time to process things.

Brian's expression sours, before glancing at Yvonne. She bursts into laughter, Brian breaking out a few chuckles as well.

### Day 6

#### Immunity Challenge

The show comes back from commercial, jungle hundreds of feet below the camera. The shot moves faster and faster until it reaches the shot of a wetland, with Probst standing on a dry patch of land near it.

**Probst:** Come on in guys!

The two tribes arrive, standing on their respective mats.

**Probst:** Are you guys ready for today's immunity challenge?

Everybody shouts out some form of affirmation, the camera focusing on a confident Nevada.

**Probst:** First things first, I need the immunity idol.

He makes his way over to the Lanati mat, where a reluctant Tyler hands the jeweled skull over.

**Tyler:** Can't I just hold onto it, Jeff? We've got this anyways.

**Probst:** Ask me if you can have it again *after*, and then we can talk.

This garners a laugh from everyone before Jeff goes into his spiel and explanation of the challenge.

**Probst:** Once again, immunity is back up for grabs. In addition, the winning tribe will recieve...

Probst pulls a tarp off of a table to reveal...

**Probst:** A state of the art fishing kit!

Everyone cheers at the sight of this, Rosa looking especially excited.

**Probst:** I know everyone wants this, because it will make your lives that much easier out here. Now, today you guys will be playing "Boulder Smash". Each team will compete in sets of four, trying to push a giant ball past the other tribe's goal line. First to two out of three, is safe from the vote. Losers go to Tribal Council where somebody will be voted out of this game. Lanati, you have one extra person and need to choose a sit out. Who's it gonna be?

The tribe looks amongst themselves before Jodi steps forward.

**Probst:** Alright, Jodi sitting out for Lanati. Everyone else, I'll give you a minute to strategize, then we'll get started on the challenge.

After Probst announces this, a time skip occurs, the two groups ready to begin as they stand ankle deep in the marsh.

**Probst:** Okay, for our first groups, we have Brian, William, Yvonne, and Deena representing Lanati and Ursula, Ian, Anika, and Frank representing Zannimo. Here we go, for immunity and reward in the form of a fishing kit! Survivors ready.....GO!

 Won

**Notes:**

* Lanati starts off incredibly strong, the four working really well together and overpowering the physically weaker members of Zannimo. Only **Anika** and **Frank** are really able to keep up. Even then, they are no match for the opposing tribe.
* **Ian** hugs onto **Brian's** legs, trying to take him down as he pushed the ball towards the Zannimo goal. Meanwhile, **Anika** is being dragged down by **Yvonne** as the former tries to stop the ball from inching further towards her goal.
* Each tribe member has someone dragging them down, the ball ever so slowly inching closer and closer towards the Zannimo goal. It faces some pushback for a bit thanks to a misdirect led by **Frank**, but ultimately **Deena** is able to run and knock over **Anika** and **Yvonne**. This allows for **Brian** to push the ball just past the Zannimo line, scoring Lanati a point.

**Probst:** Lanati scores a point! 1-0! Next groups up!

A shot of Ian is shown walking back to his tribe mat, covered in grime. As he makes it back, he spits mud onto the ground.

**Ian:** That was awful.

After this, we cut to the next set of competitors.

**Probst:** Okay, for our second groups, we have Joshua, Rosa, Tyler, and for a second time, Deena, representing Lanati. For Zannimo, we have Jessie, Nevada, Orpheus, and, for a second time, Anika! If Lanati wins this heat, Zannimo will going *back* to Tribal Council and lose a second member. Alright, Survivors ready.....GO!

 Won

**Notes:**

* Unlike last round, this game is far more evenly matched. Both tribes immediately have each other at a standstill, **Joshua** trying to knock a rock solid **Nevada** off her feet.
* With stronger competitors, **Anika** has more room to conserve energy and play defense, battling with a muddy **Deena**.
* **Orpheus** is able to make the most headway as the most physically muscular. As the challenge goes on, more people pile onto him and **Nevada** in order to slow their advance.
* **Rosa** and **Tyler** are the ones pushing for Lanati, though the former is eventually pulled down by **Jessie**, leaving **Tyler** overpowered by the combined force of **Nevada** and **Orpheus**. They make short work of the rest of the challenge and score a point for Zannimo.

**Probst:** Zannimo scores a point! 1-1! Pick your last groups!

As Deena and Joshua make their way back to the Lanati mat, exhausted, they study at a grubby, yet unphased, Orpheus.

**Deena:** Talk about imposin'.

**Joshua:** No kidding.

After this, we cut to the last set of competitors. Everyone is tired and covered in mud, sand, and water.

**Probst:** Okay, for our last groups, we have Brian, Rosa, Tyler, and Yvonne, representing Lanati. For Zannimo, we have Jessie, Nevada, Orpheus, and Frank! Whoever wins this match wins the challenge, the fishing kit, and immunity. There's a lot at stake here. Alright, Survivors ready.....GO!

 Won

**Notes:**

* Despite everyone's exhaustion, no one wants to go to Tribal Council and it shows in their performances. **Orpheus**, **Nevada**, **Brian**, and **Rosa** are leading the offense for each side by pushing the ball, while the other four are attempting to drag down the aforementioned competitors.
* Both tribes stay deadlocked for forty minutes, inching back and forth across the marsh.
* Eventually, **Frank** lets go of **Rosa** and rams into **Brian**. The combined force of him and **Jessie** knocks over the contractor, though he continues to grip onto the ball. They pin him down, removing him from the equation.
* This allows for **Nevada** and **Orpheus** to push the ball a bit more, despite **Rosa** doing her damnedest to push back.
* With time, they are able to knock her over and eventually score the winning goal.

**Probst:** Zannimo wins immunity and reward!

**Rosa:** Fuck!

The Zannimo tribe cheers, Orpheus picking up Jessie and the rest of the tribe running out into the march to celebrate. Meanwhile, the Lanati tribe looks incredibly defeated and exhausted. Then, the scene cuts to everyone back on their tribe mats.

**Probst:** Congratulations Zannimo, I know this has to feel nice. Come and get it.

Ian pats an excited Orpheus on the back before the latter takes the idol.

**Probst:** No Tribal Council for you guys tonight. Reward will be waiting back at camp for you. Grab your stuff; head back to camp. Enjoy the night off.

The Zannimo tribe cheers once again as they grab all their belongings and make their way offscreen. Probst then turns his attention to the dejected Lanati tribe.

**Probst:** Lanati, you may have won the first challenge, but this one just was not in the cards. Got nothing for you but a date with me tonight at Tribal Council where somebody will be voted out of this game. Grab your stuff; head back to camp. I will see you tonight at Tribal.

All eight players grab their things and begin to head out of the challenge area, before the scene cuts to a confessional of Joshua.

 Won

#### Lanati

The Lanati camp returns to their camp, everyone a mixture of disappointed and angry.

**Tyler:** Well, we tried our best guys.

**William:** That Orpheus guy is a fucking beast, man.

**Jodi:** No kidding.

**Rosa:** I'm sorry you guys.

Everyone turns to Rosa, shocked at her apology.

**Rosa:** I just couldn't keep up. That's on me.

**Brian:** Hey, it's not just on you. We win and lose as a team. Right?

Everyone nods their heads in agreement. Rosa still seems unsure.

**Rosa:** I appreciate it. This doesn't mean I'm giving anyone permission to vote me off, though!

As everyone laughs at Rosa, the cameras cuts to a shot of an irritated William. The scene changes to a shot of a school of fish above a coral reef. Will, Jodi, and Tyler are then seen washing up in the ocean.

**William:** I just don't know.

**Jodi:** I totally, one thousand, kajillion percent get why you don't like Rosa. She can be super like, mean and confrontational. Here's the sitch tho', Willy.

**William:** William.

**Jodi:** Sorry. Point being, I know what happened between you two.

At this, Tyler raises an eyebrow.

**Jodi:** Don't make *me* tell him.

William grimaces, cringing towards Tyler.

**William:** You may as well already have. Okay Tyler, here's the thing. The other night I was able to find the idol via Rosa.

**Tyler:** Oh my god, you have it?

**William:** And she doesn't.

**Jodi:** I know you two, like, hate each other and whatever, but this is something we need to do. Play the idol on Rosa, we send out anyone we want. Bam, four to three advantage.

**William:** Okay first off, I don't hate Rosa. Second, she knows I have this thing and is pissed at me. The whole tribe might as well know.

**Tyler:** You're gonna call me crazy, but why not give it to Rosa?

**Jodi:** Oh my god, *YESSSSS*!

**William:** Fuck that.

**Tyler:** Just listen to me. You give that idol to her, it shows goodwill and gets you on her side. She plays it tonight and the four of us run the tribe. It also gets the power dynamic of the idol out of play and keeps a target in front of the three of us. You vote for Rosa, and Jodi and I vote for our actual target. If Rosa tries anything-

**Jodi:** She totally wouldn't.

**Tyler:** Jodi and I are the contingency. It'd be 2-1-0.

**William:** Why not lose Rosa, play the idol at the next tribal we lose, and then we're 3-3? Plus, this all leaves whoever's left out of Joshua, Yvonne, Brian, and Deena beyond pissed at us. And at risk of Rosa turning on us at a swap or some shit.

**Tyler:** Bro, Jodi is the key to keeping Rosa on our side.

**Jodi:** Think of me as your cute little negotiation tool. I'm not flipping on you two if you stick with me. Look, I love that girl to *death*, but Rosa has no one else to turn to but me. I'm not stupid, I saw how everyone was talking about her after that fight. I'm a loyal girl, William, and I'm putting everything on the line for *you*. I won't flip on you, and I'll make sure Rosa doesn't either.

She holds her right hand up in the air, her three middle fingers directed at the sky.

**Jodi:** Scouts honor....I wasn't in the scouts, but like, you know. Principle.

From there, the scene cuts to Yvonne, Brian, Deena, and Joshua standing by the well, filling up their water bottles.

**Joshua:** So what's the plan here, you guys?

**Brian:** I mean, it feels simple enough. Take out Rosa or Jodi tonight.

**Yvonne:** What about the idol?

**Deena:** Look, I mean, we don't know for certain she found it.

Joshua gives a careful eye towards Yvonne, who inhales and lets out a deep sigh.

**Yvonne:** Well...

Yvonne goes on to explain how she heard someone get up out of the shelter the first night of the game.

**Yvonne:** So unless any of the four of us want to fess up to doing that, we know it's someone on the other half of the tribe. Most likely Rosa.

A slack-jawed Deena shifts her weight to one side.

**Brian:** No matter what happens tonight, the four of us stick together, right?

**Deena:** You have my word. I don't care about Jodi, William, or Tyler. They're fine people. But they're not us four.

**Joshua:** I mean, I don't know. How *do* we feel about William and Tyler? We could maybe pull in one of them as a fifth.

**Yvonne:** My take is that the four of them are close to an extent. Tyler and William hang out often and have things in common, while Rosa and Jodi are inseparable.

A contemplative Joshua nods.

**Deena:** That fight between William and Rosa, though? What about them?

**Yvonne:** No way in hell William and Rosa are close, but that doesn't mean some combination of Jodi, Rosa, and Tyler aren't. All Tyler needs to do is pull in William, especially with a potential idol on their hands.

**Joshua:** All that matters now is figuring out who has the idol.

In that moment, some footsteps are heard. The four, panicked, try to act casual and look to see who's walking up.

**Rosa:** Hi guys. I know my name has to be out there. You don't need to bullshit me with the getting water act. Just let me make an offer to the four of you to get through this round.

**Joshua:** Well, um, okay. I'm all ears to listen.

**Rosa:** I want to come clean. I found the idol clue at the first challenge.

**Yvonne:** So I'm guessing that means you found it?

**Rosa:** No... But I know who did.

The four of them look at each other in shock, with Brian furrowing his eyebrows in suspicion.

The scene cuts to a shot of nature, birds perched on a tree. And then...

**Jodi:** You did **WHAT**?!

The birds bolt off screen.

**Rosa:** I did what I had to Jodi. They weren't going to keep me, not in the long run. Maybe Tyler, but not Will. Me knowing about that idol was too dangerous. So, I sicked the majority on him. Get them to flush the idol. And they split the vote on Tyler, we vote him out. Will goes next round. Clean slate.

**Jodi:** No no no, Rosa! Tyler and I have been trying to save you all day! We literally pulled Will into a plan to save you and now they are probably going to split the votes on you and Will. This is soooo bad. Who do you think they're going to vote out? Tyler? No babe, it's you. Will and Tyler cannot know about this because if Will knows he keeps the idol and plays it on himself. What so that would be...

Jodi, in a panic, begins counting numbers on her fingers before burying her head in her hands and sitting on the dirt path.

**Jodi:** Fuck this is so hard, why is math hard?

**Rosa:** Why would Will get rid of the idol?

**Jodi:** *(muffled from her head being buried in her hands)* As a goodwill gesture to you to get you to trust him...

**Rosa:** He was going to do that? For me?

**Jodi:** Yes, Rosa! God! So what, it's four to four. You, me, Will and Tyler vote together and that's four. They split the vote. And then, wait... I take it back. You may not be totally fucked.

**Rosa:** Why?

**Jodi:** Will is gonna be so pissed at you and could flip, but he won't flip if Tyler doesn't. Worst case scenario you fucked yourself out of the game and Tyler and Will vote you out. Best case scenario, they split the vote on you and Will. The four of us vote out Brian. We are probably in between those. I think.

**Rosa:** Okay, what does in between look like?

**Jodi:** Will flips and votes for you because he's angry at you, those four split on Will and you because Will has the idol and they hate you.

**Rosa:** *(to herself)* Hate feels like a strong word...

**Jodi:** Will plays the idol. You, me, and Tyler vote for Brian for being this big, huge threat. Three to three and a tie. Either Tyler or Will flip. If Will flips, it's bye-bye Brian. If Tyler flips it's bye-bye you.

**Rosa:** You don't think Will and Tyler vote together?

**Jodi:** I'm gonna be real, I'm doing a lot of mental gymnastics for you. You have any last ditch effort ideas?

**Rosa:** Flipping to the four of them was kind of my last hope.

Jodi, exhausted, lays back and screams into the air.

**Rosa:** Feel better?

**Jodi:** *(deadpan)* Sure.

The two sit in silence, before Jodi turns again to Rosa.

**Jodi:** Hey, if we do manage to get the votes, would you vote for Brian?

**Rosa:** Jodi, I just want to stay alive. If that's what needs to happen, then that's what I'll do. I don't like Will, but if having to work with him for a round or two keeps me here, then I'll do what I have to do.

From there, the scene changes to Joshua, William, and Tyler loitering by a tree line.

**Joshua:** Essentially, everyone knows you have an idol.

**William:** Fucking fantastic.

**Tyler:** What now?

**Joshua:** I mean I'd say take out Rosa while we have the chance. William, I can't promise you that you aren't getting votes tonight, but from my own understanding, no one here wants you gone.

**William:** It's the idol that scares people.

**Joshua:** Exactly. Meanwhile, Rosa's burned too many bridges. She's too acerbic to keep, at least in my opinion.

**Tyler:** Ok, what happens if we lose another time, or even a time after that? I'll cut Rosa, but my worry is that one of us could go next round or round after that. That includes you. You have to know that like, Brian and Deena are thick as thieves. They just are. How confident are *you* that you aren't playing for them to get to the end together?

**Joshua:** I'm taking this game one day at a time, and I wouldn't have come to you guys if I didn't value the two of you. With all due respect, it's day six. Just because I feel one way about Rosa doesn't mean I feel the same about either of you. In all honesty, I wanted to tell you this information so you both can understand that Rosa is desperate and will play with whoever she needs to in order to stay in this game.

**Joshua:** Look, I need to get ready for tribal, but I promise you I am going to work to keep you guys safe. William, the idol is making you a loose cannon. You may not need it today because Rosa is confirmed to be totally helpless, but if we lose again, I wouldn't be surprised if people attempt to flush it.

**Tyler:** People?

With that, Joshua shrugs.

**Joshua:** Who do you think it would be?

**William:** Can we not play chicken? If we're going to make this work, you need to trust us.

**Joshua:** And vice verse. But I digress. It would be Brian and Deena I think, they're the two who I feel are running things. Or at least are trying to.

**Tyler:** I respect the honesty. I can't promise you anything with this specific vote, but if and when it comes to it, I'll make sure you don't get votes and that this conversation stays between the three of us.

**William:** Ditto.

**Joshua:** Fantastic. I'll catch you guys later, alright?

As Joshua makes his way back to camp, the camera focuses on Tyler, brows furrowed and a bitten lip.

**William:** Did you trust that? At all?

**Tyler:** Hard to say. I lean towards no. It felt like he was fishing for information.

**William:** I felt the same way. Like bro, come on. I'm not stupid. At least he told us about Rosa. My worry is that they plan on cutting me and are trying to fake me out to not play the idol.

**Tyler:** Why would they do that, though? I feel like his argument to cut Rosa and then for you to burn the idol makes more sense for him than you because at least we know who Brian is sticking with.

*William:'* Maybe I'm just paranoid. I feel like I have every right to be though. You're honestly the only person I really trust right now, I feel like everyone on this tribe is a snake except for you.

**Tyler:** Aw thanks, I feel the same way about you. You're my closest ally and friend here and I think once we get past this vote, things become much clearer for our path to the end.

**William:** The end?

**Tyler:** Oh, so you think you can just go to final tribal council without me then? Fat chance.

**William:** Nah, I didn't mean that-

**Tyler:** Dude I know, I'm just fucking with you. I do want to go the end with you though.

**William:** I feel the same way. Sorry, this whole thing with Rosa and the idol and it being leaked to fucking everyone has me on edge. I just wanna get to tomorrow and we can move forward.

**Tyler:** I mean, if Rosa is stressing you out this much, we can cut her. If what Joshua said is true, she may be more trouble than she's worth. I like Jodi and I think that could be a good alliance, but whatever trust I *did* have in Rosa is gone as of now.

**William:** Don't tempt me with a good time. After that fight and her leaking the idol, I can't trust her. My fear is what happens after she leaves.

As William finishes his confessional, a shot of the sun setting sits in the foreground as the Lanati tribe heads to their first tribal council.

## Tribal Council

We cut to Tribal Council, where the eight members of Lanati enter the arena. Sat by the fire is Jeff Probst, solemnly welcoming to losing tribe.

**Probst:** Come on in guys. Behind each of you is a torch, so go ahead and grab it.

As the tribe does so, Probst continues.

**Probst:** Dip it in the flame and get fire. In this game, fire represents your life. Once your flame goes out, so do you.

Each of the tribe members dips their flame in the fire, an ominous drum beat playing in the background. They then place their torches behind them and sit down, waiting for Jeff to begin.

**Probst:** Let's get started. Brian, what do you think led to the loss here today?

**Brian:** I don't think it was any of our faults, really. We all tried our best and unfortunately, today was not our day. If anything, I think how close the challenge was is a positive.

**Probst:** How so?

**Brian:** It shows we're evenly matched tribes. We can win against them in the future.

**Probst:** And yet here you are tonight.

Brian chuckles and sheepishly scratches the back of his neck.

**Brian:** And yet here we are.

**Probst:** So if challenge strength isn't an issue, what's going to keep you all from coming back here?

A few people shoot quick glances towards Rosa.

**Rosa:** We might as well mention the elephant in the room. Everyone here hates me.

**Yvonne:** Now hate isn't the word I would use-

**Rosa:** But whatever word you *would* use still has a negative meaning.

**Yvonne:** Rosa just speaks her mind at most opportunities. For example, your outburst when we lost the challenge.

**Deena:** There was also the fight at camp yesterday.

**Rosa:** I wouldn't call it a fight. It was a disagreement.

At this, William perks up and raises his finger to interject.

**William:** As someone on the other end of the "disagreement", it was a fight.

**Probst:** Let's back up. Explain to me what happened.

**William:** I don't even fully remember. It had to do with food and we were teasing each other about not being a hypocrite by talking about it. Then Rosa jumps in and starts seriously calling me a hypocrite.

**Rosa:** Yeah, but you were being one.

**Jodi:** *(under her breath)* Rosa...

**Rosa:** Look, you've done plenty of things that have pissed me off and I feel I have the right to call you out on that. I'm not a subtle person. I'm intense and competitive and I speak my mind. It turns people off, but to be a winner, you have to step on some toes. For example, you're passive-aggressive and I'm just the regular version of aggressive. I'm not afraid to say that.

**William:** When have I been passive-aggressive?

**Probst:** Is it always like this?

**Joshua:** Most days, yes. Both William and Rosa are strong competitors, but their constant bickering brings down the mood at camp.

**Deena:** It's true. Rosa, I can say this about you; you are our strongest swimmer and this feud aside, you are an asset.

**Probst:** So, to me, it sounds like it's between William and Rosa. William, how do you feel hearing Rosa being called the tribe's strongest swimmer when you are potentially getting votes?

**William:** Not going to lie to you Jeff, it doesn't feel great. But I know I'm just as much of an asset to the tribe as Rosa. Plus, I have a personality that is less, um, intense as Rosa's.

At this, Rosa scoffs.

**Rosa:** Cut the bullshit William, we all know you're not going anywhere tonight and I am.

**Probst:** And why is that?

Everyone turns to Will and he grins, shrugging his shoulders.

**William:** We're gonna have to wait to find out.

**Probst:** And why not say anything now?

**William:** What can I say, I like theatrics.

**Probst:** Fair enough. Well, with that, I think it's time to start voting. Deena, you're up first.

Deena casts her vote.

Brian casts his vote. It is not shown.

Yvonne casts her vote. It is not shown.

Jodi casts her vote.

Tyler casts his vote. It is not shown.

Joshua casts his vote. It is not shown.

William casts his vote. It is not shown.

Rosa casts her vote.

After Rosa votes, she returns to her seat.

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

Probst leaves to fetch the urn, which he soon arrives back with. It's fashioned like a treasure chest, adorned with pearls, jewels, and gold.

**Probst:**If anyone has a Hidden Immunity Idol and wishes to play it, now would be the time to do so.

The camera cuts to a shot of Rosa, then a shot of William.

**William:** Since everyone knows about it, we might as well flush it now, right?

No one looks too shocked at this revelation as the musician makes his way to the podium.

**William:** Rosa, you owe me one. This is for her.

At this, everyone's jaws drop to the ground.

**Deena:** Holy shit. I'm gonna be sick.

**Rosa:** I can't believe you followed through.

The swimmer crossed her arms and sinks into her seat, embarassed.

**Probst:**I can confirm this is a Hidden Immunity Idol, and all votes cast for Rosa won’t count. All right. Once the votes are read, the decision is final. The person voted out will be asked to leave the Tribal Council area immediately.

Probst lifts the lid off the urn, setting it on a table in front of him. He pulls out a piece of parchment, carefully examining it.

A panicked Joshua turns to William, accusation in his eyes.

**Joshua:** *(whispering)* Who did you play it on?

Aware of the rest of the tribe's presence, all William can do is give a comforting smile and shake of his head.

**Probst:** First vote...

**ROSA.** Does not count. (0)

*(Rosa, still in shock, manages a smile at her survival)*

**ROSA.** Once again, does not count. (0)

*(A tense Deena grabs the hands of Yvonne and Brian, the latter of whom grips tightly back.)*

**ROSA.** That's still no votes for anyone, five votes left. (0)

**ROSA.** That's four tallied for Rosa, all of which do not count. (0)

*(Rosa, beginning to feel some pride, grins at this. Meanwhile, Joshua is watching intently through his fingers.)*

**BRIAN.** That's one vote for Brian. (1-0)

*(Brian solemnly nods his head as Joshua, Deena, and Yvonne look on in horror.)*

**BRIAN.** That's two votes Brian. Two votes left. (2-0)

**Brian:** Wow. You guys got me.

**Deena:** Oh my god.

Second person voted out of Survivor: Inagua Island...

**BRIAN.**

The contractor sits, his hand gripped tightly around Deena's and Yvonne's.

**Brian:** Well, nothing I can do about that.

Without another word, he gets up and moves for his torch.

**Tyler:** You're just too scary, man. Wish I could say-

**Deena:** *(holding back sobs)* Shut up, Tyler.

**Brian:** I'll be alright and you all will be too. It's just a game and we'll all move on from it. I wish you all the best of luck.

He turns to Probst.

**Brian:** I'm ready.

**Probst:**Brian, the tribe has spoken.

Probst snuffs Brian's torch, followed by Brian solemnly making his way down the path away from tribal.

**Probst:**For all this talk to two distinct targets, someone else went home. There is a lot of division on this tribe and it seems that, with the help of a vote, a line has been crossed in the sand. I don't know what's going to happen next, but I can't wait to find out. Grab your torches and head back to camp. Goodnight.

The seven remaining members of the Lanati tribe grab their torches and belongings before leaving the Tribal Council area.
