Are We Actually Gonna Do This?

**Are We Actually Gonna Do This?** is the eleventh episode of *Survivor: Guam*.

## Previously on Survivor

Brick was blindsided in a unanimous vote with a safety advantage in his pocket. Despite the vote being unanimous, people weren't happy. Kyle felt he couldn't trust Alexis as she organised the plan and didn't ask for his opinion, proving she was a cutthroat player. Skyla shared the same opinion, so together, they flipped. Alexis, Chase and Natasha were now on the bottom, however, they still had their idol. At the reward challenge, the castaways reunited their loved ones. Abbey won the reward, meaning her father, Dale, would come back to camp and would stay until Tribal. Afterwards, Chase went on to win the immunity challenge. For the Unlikely Alliance, they decided Alexis was the target, yet they would try to convince her Natasha would be receiving votes to get her to misplay her idol. The Final 3 Alliance decided they would vote for Abbey, for the sole purpose her father was there. At Tribal, Alexis caught onto the Unlikely Alliance's plan and played the idol on herself, negating their votes. Abbey was then sent home. 6 are left, who will be voted out tonight?

## Challenges

**Immunity Challenge:** Uncomfortably Numb
Each castaway will balance their feet on a narrow perch and hold a handle above their heads. If they let go, or fall, they are out. The last person standing wins immunity.

## Story

### Night 30

After Tribal, the Alitana tribe put their torches away. Nobody says anything, creating an awkward environment. Kyle is the first to go to sleep, followed by Natasha and Skyla. Alexis and Chase walk to the beach, leaving James alone.

**Alexis:** That was amazing!
**Chase:** It really was.
**Alexis:** They fooled me. I'm not going to lie. If you didn't persuade me to play it on myself I'd be at ponderosa right now.
**Chase:** Thank god I was there.

They both laugh and walk back to camp. By the time they come back, James is already asleep. They get into the shelter and doze off.

### Day 31

The Final 6 wake up on Day 31. With the numbers even and a great possibility of people flipping once again, Kyle tries to be the provider for the tribe, to show the tribe without him, they will starve. He starts the fire and cooks rice. He then goes out fishing, catching two reasonably sized fish. The rest of the tribe seem to be impressed by this.

The tribe eats Kyle's rice and fish. Once they finish, Skyla calls Alexis over for a talk. Alexis seems caught off guard but agrees and they walk along the beach.

**Skyla:** So... how are you feeling?
**Alexis:** I mean, it's fine. I knew you were going to flip.
**Skyla:** I'm sorry. I know it sucks because you saved me at the merge and I repay you this way.
**Alexis:** No, no. It's honestly fine. It's a game.
**Skyla:** Yeah. It'll be interesting to see how the rest of the game goes. With the numbers even.
**Alexis:** Yeah. I guess we'll see.

It's clear that both Skyla and Alexis feel awkward, yet they keep walking. Alexis then notices a large, pink shell.

**Alexis:** Hey! Look at that!

Alexis walks over to the shell and picks it up. Skyla then spots another one. After a while, the two girls start collecting shells together. After around ten minutes, they each had dozens of shells of different colours. They walk back to camp and show off their findings. James seems the most excited.

**James:** Woah! So pretty!

**Natasha:** We should make them into necklaces! Special necklaces that only the final 6 gets! It can symbolise our friendship we've built out here.
**Skyla:** That's a great idea! Kyle? Can we use your fishing line to make the necklaces?
**Kyle:** Sure! I don't even use it that much.

Everybody picks a shell they like and after hours of cutting fishing line, they finish. Skyla and Chase both put a blue one around their necks, James and Kyle both have yellow shells and Natasha and Alexis each have pink ones.

Before the sun sets, James and Skyla walk to the well together. It is quite dark, so they search for a while but eventually find it. While they refill their canteens they start to talk about the game.

**James:** I don't think anybody expected us to be the last two Alico left.
**Skyla:** That's actually what I wanted to talk to you about.
**James:** Oh?
**Skyla:** I think it's still Qutana vs Alico.
**James:** What do you mean? Kyle's with us.
**Skyla:** They have a secret Qutana-only alliance.
**James:** I don't think so...

Skyla looks around to make sure nobody is listening in on their conversation.

**Skyla:** James, it makes perfect sense! Kyle leaked the plan to Alexis, so she played the idol on herself to send Abbey home. Abbey was an original Alico member.
**James:** Skyla, I've gotten good at reading people out here. There is no secret alliance.
**Skyla:** I'm just saying. Keep an eye out.

The sun sets and the tribe crawls into the shelter, finding their sleeping spots. After so long, they all fall asleep. All except Kyle. Once everybody falls into a deep sleep, Kyle slides out of the shelter and lights a pile of leaves on fire for a light source.

Shots of Kyle searching for the idol is shown. He climbs trees, lifts up rocks, and even checks the roof of the shelter without any luck. The sun is shown to start rising before another clip of Kyle searching is shown. This time he looks in the ocean, by the tribe flag, until eventually, he looks by the beach. After a while of digging...

he finds nothing. It starts to get lighter so he gives up and starts making rice.

### Day 32

The rest of the tribe wake to breakfast already made, which makes everybody happy. Once they finish eating, Alexis and Natasha go to the well to get water, while Chase goes out looking for fruit, leaving the Unlikely Alliance alone at camp. James is the first to talk.

**James:** Are we still thinking Alexis?
**Kyle:** I assume so.
**Skyla:** I'm good with voting Alexis.
**Kyle:** Perfect. She has to go.
**James:** What if she wins immunity?
**Skyla:** Chase.
**James:** Agreed.

Shots of Chase, Alexis and Natasha laughing are shown, and then one of Kyle sitting in the shelter, away from them is played to show that they aren't an alliance, and Skyla's idea is false. After a few minutes, Alexis and Natasha return. Nobody says anything, creating an uncomfortable surrounding. After a painful few minutes, Chase comes back with a couple of bananas. He places them by the rice.

**Kyle:** Now that we're all here, do you want to go fishing as a tribe?

A few people look surprised he'd ask this, but everybody agrees apart from Natasha.

**Natasha:** I don't know how to fish.
**Kyle:** That's okay! I'll teach you.

Within a few minutes, everybody is in the water. Kyle shows Natasha the fishing equipment and how to use it. Natasha picks up the spear and attempts to catch a small fish, but is unsuccessful. James asks for a turn, and surprisingly, he catches one. He looks proud of himself and shows the tribe.

**James:** Oh god! This feels so heterosexual.

The tribe laughs and then they go back to fishing. Natasha tries again, but only manages to catch a large pile of kelp. She laughs, smiles and tries again. Kyle catches a large, pink fish which excites everybody else. Alexis then has a turn but is unsuccessful. In fact, nobody manages to catch anything else apart from Skyla, who catches a small, grey fish. Everyone walks back to camp and warms themselves by the fire, apart from Kyle who keeps fishing.

Natasha calls The Final 3 Alliance of herself, Alexis and Chase into the forest to talk about the vote.

**Natasha:** I assume it's going to rocks, so we need to figure out who we want to be immune.
**Chase:** Right, because in a deadlock if you're tied the people who have votes against them become immune.
**Natasha:** Mhmm. I was thinking we vote for James to save him from rocks.
**Alexis:** James? Why? Skyla is less of a threat, let's save her from rocks.
**Natasha:** How? Skyla's played a flashy game and has pretty good connections on the jury.
**Alexis:** James is smarter.

Chase looks and both of them and thinks for a moment.

**Chase:** Let's figure this out later. We still have the immunity challenge tomorrow.
**Alexis:** True.

### Day 33

On Day 33, the 6 remaining castaways wake up and get underway with their usual routine. James and Skyla fill-up the tribe's water bottles, while Kyle cooks the food. Chase finds some more bananas, so they eat that with their rice. Once finished, Alexis collects tree mail, telling them about their next challenge and hinting towards an endurance competition. Once they arrive, Jeff smiles and greets them. He then explains the challenge.

**Jeff:** For today's immunity challenge, you will each stand on a narrow perch, while holding a handle above your head. This will force you into an uncomfortable position, but to win you must endure and outlast the others.

The tribe nods, and then they get into position. The challenge starts. A few people are shown struggling, specifically James and Kyle. Kyle's feet are bigger than the perch and James seems to be hurting for no apparent reason. They both manage to keep going, however. 5 minutes pass before suddenly, Natasha falls. She looks annoyed and takes a spot on the bench.

**Jeff:** Only 5 remain! This could be the most important challenge yet, you want to win this!

Kyle readjusts his position, and Alexis looks over at him, noticing he's about to drop. Except, he doesn't. Everybody keeps going. After 10 minutes, Chase shows his first signs of pain along with Skyla. James readjusts his position and looks much more comfortable. After 5 more minutes, Chase finally drops. Straight afterwards, James steps down. They both take a spot on the bench next to Natasha.

By now, everybody is hurting. It's clear that the remaining three want it, and nobody is willing to give it up. Half an hour passes, then 45 minutes, and then an hour before Skyla falls, leaving Kyle and Alexis as the final 2. Skyla takes a spot on the bench and watches the rest of the challenge. Multiple times Kyle looks like he's going to drop, but still holds on. The same thing happens with Alexis, until finally, in a crazy David vs Goliath battle, Kyle drops meaning Alexis wins.

**Jeff:** After a long, hard challenge, Alexis wins immunity! A guaranteed 1 in 5 chance of winning this game!

Skyla, James and Kyle look annoyed and defeated, while Natasha, Chase and Alexis are shown smiling and celebrating.

The tribe then packs up their stuff and then return to camp. Once they arrive, the Unlikely Alliance of Kyle, James and Skyla walk along the beach to talk and reconfirm their plan.

**Kyle:** I'm sorry guys. I should have won that.
**James:** It's okay.
**Skyla:** Yeah, you're bigger than her, so you had a disadvantage. Don't beat yourself up.
**Kyle:** I'm just disappointed in myself.
**James:** Hey, don't worry. We still have a chance.
**Kyle:** You're right. So do we vote for Chase now?
**James:** You could do that, but that would put Natasha to rocks.
**Skyla:** True, and we want Chase out.

Kyle nods and agrees.

**Kyle:** Yup, so it's Nat then.
**James:** Sounds good.

While they have their conversation, Chase sits in the shelter and Natasha joins him. They call Alexis over to talk about Tribal Council, and who they're voting for. Alexis tells them who she wants to vote for first.

**Alexis:** Skyla! I still think she's the better option.
**Natasha:** No, James is.
**Chase:** Well, let's go over their games and see who's the bigger threat. Skyla: she flipped at the merge, and managed to avoid Macy's counter alliance. Then she flipped again at the last vote. Those are big moves. Plus she has Abbey and Wilbur on the jury who she was aligned with.
**Natasha:** She's a big threat. She needs to go. Therefore we must vote for James.
**Alexis:** What about James' game?
**Chase:** Well I wasn't on Skyla's tribe pre-merge, so I couldn't comment on her pre-merge game, but I was with James after the swap. He flipped to our side to vote out Irvin, but then we started plotting against him which he didn't notice, so that's a knock to his game. Post merge he's played under-the-radar, staying loyal to alliances.

Nobody talks, they just process this information, weighing up which option would benefit or hurt their game the most.

**Natasha:** Skyla has played a bigger game, but if James owns his game at the finals he could easily win.
**Chase:** But they're not getting to the finals. Not with us. Right now, the final 3 will either be Kyle, Skyla and James or us three. So let's push that aside and let's think about ourselves. Who would be more likely to help us get to the end? Or who would ruin our chances more?

Alexis and Natasha think about this for a moment.

**Natasha:** Well Chase and I have worked with James before. That's two out of three people that have a relationship with him. Skyla on the other hand only really worked with you, Alexis.
**Alexis:** That's true, I guess. Chase, what do you think?
**Chase:** I'm fine with anybody. You two should decide.
**Alexis:** Fine, I give up. Let's just vote for James and send Skyla to rocks.
**Natasha:** Yay! Thank you!

With both alliances having their plans in place, the tribe comes together and talks around the campfire. They talk about their families, and where they grew up. After everybody finishes, Kyle asks if Natasha wants to go on a walk to fill their canteens. She agrees and they head off.

**Kyle:** So, I know we're not on the same page right now.
**Natasha:** Correct, that's why I was surprised you wanted to go on a walk with me.
**Kyle:** I just wanted to see if there was any chance of you flipping to our side.
**Natasha:** I don't know.

Kyle looks around to make sure they're not being followed.

**Kyle:** Okay, here's my pitch. To avoid rocks somebody needs to flip. My alliance is voting for you, but if you consider joining us I'll change the vote to Chase.

After his confessional, he continues giving his speech.

**Kyle:** Chase will get our votes, that will be four, and he will go. If you don't flip, then you'd be going to rocks and have a one in three chance of being rocked out. You're a fan of this show and I doubt you want your journey coming down to a rock.
**Natasha:** That is true, I'm just worried I'll be at the bottom of you're alliance after this vote.
**Kyle:** Don't worry. If Chase goes then Alexis will be next, then we will vote out Skyla because her friends are on the jury and bam! Final 3.
**Natasha:** Hmm... It does sound tempting.

They get to the well and lift the lid. They get water and start walking back.

**Natasha:** I'll think about it.
**Kyle:** Thank you. Rocks are scary, so it's better to avoid them.
**Natasha:** Agreed. I just have one question.
**Kyle:** What's that?
**Natasha:** Does anybody know that you're talking to me?
**Kyle:** No. That's the honest truth. I'm talking to you because I want to work with you and it saves both of our asses.

Minutes before Tribal, Kyle whispers to James and Skyla individually about voting Chase, and how Natasha seemed like she's going to flip. They both agree to vote for Chase. The tribe then grabs their torches and bags and set off for Tribal.

### Tribal Council

The tribe walk into Tribal Council and take a seat. As per usual, Jeff then calls for the Jury.

**Jeff:** Now introducing the members of our jury. Wilbur, Macy, Brick, and Abbey, voted out of the last Tribal Council

Abbey looks and sees Alexis wearing the immunity necklace and rolls her eyes, playfully. This gets a giggle from Alexis.

**Jeff:** So it seems like the alliances are even, Natasha, does that mean rocks are going to happen tonight?
**Natasha:** Well, this afternoon it was pretty clear there were 3 people on either side but this is Survivor, the point of the game is betraying people.

The jury starts whispering, predicting what will happen.

**Macy:** She's lying. She's flipping.
**Abbey:** I don't think so.

The remaining contestants try to listen, but Jeff brings their attention back to him.

**Jeff:** James. Abbey was idoled out last time, so is there a possibility advantages will be played again tonight?

James then goes on to explain that there may be idols played, but it's late in the game so people will try to hold onto them if they have it, as they get more valuable as time passes. Everybody agrees. Jeff then says it's time to vote. Skyla, Kyle and Alexis' votes are not shown, neither are their confessionals. Natasha walks up next.

James casts his vote, however, it's not shown. Chase casts the final vote but again, we don't see who it's for. Jeff then collects the votes.

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

Nobody stands up.

**Jeff:** Alright, I'll read the votes... First vote...

Chase (1)

Chase raises an eyebrow

Chase (2)

James (2-1)

James doesn't seem to have a reaction

James (2-2)

James bites his lip

Chase (3-2)

**Jeff:** That's three votes Chase, two votes James, one vote left...

James (3-3)

Kyle looks over at Natasha who looks back, she sighs and looks away.

**Jeff:** We are tied. Three votes James, Three votes Chase. We will go to a revote, Chase cannot vote, nor can James. Everybody else can only vote for James or Chase. Alexis, you're up.

Alexis casts her vote for James, but we don't see her confessional. Skyla and Kyle are next, and we don't see anything. Natasha is last to vote.

Jeff collects the urn and since idols cannot be played in revotes, he goes straight into reading the votes.

First Vote: Chase (1)

Chase stares at Jeff, not wanting to look away

James (1-1)

James is shown crossing his fingers for good luck.

Chase (2-1)

James (2-2)

**Jeff:** We are deadlocked. Here's how this will work, Alexis, Kyle, Skyla and Natasha must come to a unanimous decision on who should be eliminated, otherwise we will draw rocks and Chase and James will be safe.

They discuss for (pretty much) two seconds, but it's clear nobody wants to sacrifice anybody from their alliance. Kyle looks frustrated and Natasha apologises.

**Jeff:** Okay then, we will be drawing rocks. James and Chase are now immune, Alexis has the immunity necklace meaning Natasha, Kyle and Skyla will be the only ones up for elimination.

The jury is shown. They all have different reactions. Macy looks surprised while Brick simply smiles. Jeff then picks up his bag, containing three rocks. Natasha, Skyla and Kyle all draw one.

**Natasha:** Are we actually going to do this?

Jeff grins.

**Jeff:** Two people have white rocks, and one person has the black one. The person that holds the black one will be eliminated.

Brick whispers to Wilbur

**Brick:** I'm going to laugh if Natasha gets the black one. I would have flipped if I was her.

Shots of the three contestants drawing rocks are shown. They all look very, very nervous.

**Jeff:** Everybody reveal on one. Three... Two... One!

KYLE draws a WHITE rock

Natasha sighs when she sees that she picked the WHITE rock. On the other hand, Skyla starts crying as she drops the black rock, knowing she has been eliminated. She quickly wipes her tears away and hugs the people around her.

**Kyle:** Skyla, I'm so sorry.

Skyla tries to hide her sadness.

**Skyla:** No, no! Don't be silly. It's not your fault.

Skyla grabs her torch and Jeff snuffs it. She takes one final look at the Tribal Council area and smiles at the Final 5.

**Skyla:** Good luck everybody! It was so fun.

Everybody waves Skyla goodbye.

**Alexis:** Bye Skyla.

Jeff dismisses the tribe after the craziest Tribal yet. Natasha and Kyle hug each other and they get their torches and walk out of Tribal Council, back to camp.

 James (3)
