These Are Where Legends Are Made

This is the 9th episode of Survivor: India - Reincarnation Island, written by A2479.

## Previously On *Survivor...*

*Previously on… Survivor:* Three different alliances were fighting, the Fearsome Fivesome (Aishia to the alliance: *“This would be a great alliance, I feel like the five of us really get along.”*), the secret counter-alliance created by Ryan (Ryan to their alliance: *“We can dominate the merge together”*) and the all Hara alliance created by Dylan (Dylan to the alliance: *“I think we need to stick together guys.”*).

Grahame had his own core of trusted allies (Grahame in a confessional: “*Danielle and Tamsyn are my two closest allies in this game.*”) and was gunning hard for Dylan (Grahame in a confessional: “*I’ve been wanting Dylan out for days.*”), who wanted to retaliate (Dylan in a confessional: “*Tonight, Grahame will go.*”) but none of his allies were planning on staying loyal (Danielle in a confessional: “*There’s no way I’m letting Grahame go tonight.*”).

Aishia was getting annoyed by Grahame and thought about making a move on Tamsyn (Aishia in a confessional: “*Those two are very close and that’s a threat to my game.*”), leaving Danielle in a pickle (Danielle in a confessional: “*I’m aligned with both of them but I need to make the best move for my game.*”).

At Tribal Council, Tyler played his idol on Grahame (Tyler handing the idol to Probst: “*It's time to make a big move in this game.*”), to no use, as Dylan got voted out unanimously (Probst: “*Dylan, the tribe has spoken.*”).

Nine are left. Who will be voted out tonight?

## Challenges

**Immunity Challenge:** *Arrows*
Each round, the castaways have to throw an arrow at a target. Whoever’s closest to the center has to break another castaway’s arrow. The last one standing wins immunity.

## Story

### Night 24

#### Ganesha

The tribe is seen coming back to camp, as the camera focuses on Tyler putting his torch up against a tree.

We can now see Grahame hugging Tyler.

**Grahame:** Thank you, wow…

**Tyler:** No problem! I thought you were in danger tonight so I took the risk but I ultimately failed.

The scene then switches to Aishia and Tyler talking on the beach.

**Aishia:** Sorry about not saying I was voting Dylan tonight. I didn't know you would be willing to do so.

**Tyler (shaking his head):** I was definitely voting Dylan. I was worried you were voting the other way that's why I played my idol.

**Aishia (frowning):** Why wouldn't you trust me though? We could've just communicated. Thought we were closer.

**Tyler (shrugging):** You're probably pissed at me but I was super nervous.

**Aishia:** I am not angry with you. I just want honesty and acceptance moving forward, a good relationship, y'know.

A shot of Tamsyn and Melissa getting in the shelter is shown, then the intro plays.

### Day 25

#### Ganesha

A shot of the sun rising is shown, as tribal music plays in the background. We can now see Grahame and Tyler chatting together at the water well.

**Grahame:** Just out of curiosity, why were you so paranoid about me goin' home? I knew Dylan wanted me gone but were there other people considerin' it too?

**Tyler:** Yeah, I thought Aishia and the rest of the alliance were voting for you. But Aishia didn't tell me she was voting Dylan.

**Grahame (confused):** Wait, who's in this alliance exactly?

**Tyler (lying):** I don't know exactly, I'm all out of the loop right now.

**Grahame:** Me too. *(chuckles)* To be perfectly honest, I thought you and Dylan were aligned, so I was really nervous.

**Tyler:** Hell no! I wanted to make a big move and get someone out.

**Grahame:** Okay, cool. I was told by Aishia, so I'm surprised she didn't inform you too.

**Tyler (frowning):** Told by Aishia that Dylan was next? I thought Aishia was voting for you. I didn't know you and Aishia were close.

**Grahame (lying):** Oh, we're not that close at all. She just came to and told me that the vote was Dylan, and Danielle confirmed it with me.

**Tyler:** I don’t know, ever since Aishia wrote my name down I’ve been getting shady vibes from her.

**Grahame:** Yeah, somethin' about her just makes me nervous. As if she's knows somethin' that I don't.

**Tyler:** Yeah, maybe we can get out Aishia next tribal if you want to.

**Grahame:** You know… I wouldn't be against it. Takin' Aishia is out is definitely somethin' that I feel needs to happen in the near future.

We can now see that Danielle has joined them.

**Tyler:** How would you feel if we get rid of Aishia?

**Danielle:** Well, would we have the numbers?

**Grahame:** I’d be down.

**Tyler:** It would be us three. I think I could get Ryan.

**Danielle:** Okay, so that's four out of nine, if we can get one more, then I'm game.

The scene then shifts to Danielle coming up to Aishia in the woods.

**Danielle:** Aishia, you can't tell anyone this right now, but you're being targeted.

**Aishia (shocked):** By who?

**Danielle:** Try to guess.

**Aishia (rolling her eyes):** Great, so she's unfairly targeting me for no reason. I'm sick of her, she's ruining this game.

**Danielle:** Not just her.

**Aishia:** Who else?

**Danielle:** I haven't talked with her since yesterday, in fact.

**Aishia (getting impatient):** Who else? Danielleeee…

**Danielle:** Hint, it's a person who you rightly distrusted even though I didn't believe that.

**Aishia:** Can we not play vague? I'm really frustrated right now.

**Danielle:** Another hint. His name ends in Yler.

**Aishia (rolling her eyes):** My god… Why would he be?

**Danielle:** Well, to be fair, I'm not sure if he's alone, Grahame seemed on board and obviously Mel is happy to vote you out.

**Aishia:** Can I please tell this to our group, and say, Tyler should be our target?

**Danielle:** Yes but we need to approach this cautiously.

A last shot of Aishia is shown before the commercial break.

### Day 26

#### Ganesha

The sun is seen rising above the clouds, as a sleeping Timmy is awoken by tribal chants.

**Ryan (singing):** Happy birthday to you, happy birthday to you, happy birthday to you Timmy, happy birthday to you!

Ryan gives a cup of rice to Timmy as everyone around claps.

**Timmy (laughing):** Thanks Ryan! Thanks everyone!

A shot of Timmy and Ryan hugging is shown, then the scene shifts to Aishia and Grahame talking on the beach.

**Aishia:** You and Tyler are tight, right? I mean, he played an idol on you. *(chuckles)*

**Grahame:** Okay, I don't even expect you to believe me but I’ve barely spoken game to Tyler before he played the idol on me. I didn't ask him for it or anythin', I didn't even know he had it. He is one of the people I talk to the least to be honest.

**Aishia (nodding):** I believe you. Listen, I'm about to tell you something, you have to promise me you will not ask where this information is coming from, because I cannot leak this.

**Grahame:** I promise on my moustache's life I will not tell!

**Aishia:** I heard from an anonymous leaker that someone was coming after me.

**Grahame:** 'Someone'? Did the anonymous person tell you who?

**Aishia:** Tyler. That's why I kinda came to you, just hopefully you weren't tied to him.

**Grahame (surprised):** Wait, so you thought I knew about this?

**Aishia:** Yes, kind of, sorry… I'm just paranoid and trying to really just... calm down.

**Grahame:** It's fine, don't worry about it. As long as our five stay strong, we should be fine.

The cameras now show Grahame and Danielle talking in the woods.

**Grahame:** Okay, so somebody told Aishia that Tyler was gunnin' for her and she thought that I was in on the plan! I think I convinced her that I knew nothin' about it, but this could be really bad for me.

**Danielle:** Well, I'm gonna hope you keep your lips sealed on this, but I did mention to Aishia that Tyler brought up her name because I completely disagree with taking out Aishia now, however I never said you were against her.

**Grahame (nodding):** Okay, I understand where you're comin' from.

**Danielle:** I do think this whole idol play has put a target on you and Tyler as a duo.

**Grahame:** I know, it's definitely worrisome.

**Danielle:** I think the next vote could actually come down to a Tyler vs Aishia thing, with Aishia/Emilee/Ryan versus Tyler/Mel/Timmy with us and Tamsyn in the middle, based off of what I’m sensing.

**Grahame:** Yeah, maybe. That's definitely an interestin' divide.

**Danielle:** Looking at those groups, I'd say Mel and Tyler are threats to win on one end while Aishia, and maybe Ryan, are threats to win on the other, so it's not like one side is just goats either.

**Grahame:** In my opinion, we need to stick with our five-alliance because if we flip and vote with Tyler, Timmy and Mel, I could see them turnin' on us as soon as they don't need us.

**Danielle:** Okay, I think that's the most logical way to go about things.

### Day 27

#### Immunity Challenge

* Probst reveals Dylan gave his Karma Card to Grahame, as it is bad karma. His disadvantage is that he has to sit out of this challenge.
* Ryan gets their arrow closest to the center first, and breaks Tamsyn’s arrow, eliminating her.
* Aishia wins next, and breaks Melissa’s arrow, eliminating and pissing her off.
* Ryan wins again and breaks Emilee’s arrow.
* Danielle wins for the first time and breaks Tyler’s arrow.
* Ryan wins again and breaks Danielle’s arrow.
* Aishia wins again and breaks Ryan’s arrow, leaving her as the only one who has scored thus far.
* Only Aishia and Timmy are left in the challenge, and Aishia gets her arrow closest to the center again, and wins.

**Probst:** AISHIA WINS IMMUNITY!!!

Aishia cheers and celebrates, as Melissa sits miserably on the bench.

**Probst (putting the necklace around Aishia’s neck):** Congratulations, you now have one in eight shot at winning the game. You guys can head back to camp.

The tribe leaves, as the camera focuses on Aishia smiling.

#### Ganesha

The tribe is seen arriving back to camp, as Aishia wears a huge grin on her face.

Melissa is seen walking away from camp, with an annoyed look on her face.

Melissa is standing alone on the outskirts of camp, as Aishia comes up to her.

**Aishia:** Hey, you wanna talk?

**Melissa (rolling her eyes):** Forget about talking to me if you’re going to be like that.

**Aishia (getting offended):** No, you know what, forget you! I've tried so hard to talk to you and I'm tired of being delayed because you are targeting me for no f\*cking reason at all!

**Melissa:** If you were genuine, you wouldn't have broken my arrow! I haven't once targeted you, but you screwed me over the moment I showed any loyalty to you. Facts don't lie.

**Aishia:** How did I screw you over?

**Melissa:** You and Tyler both came to me wanting an alliance and proceeded to vote me out in the same breath.

**Aishia (nodding):** I realize I did that, and I've said sorry about that already.

**Melissa:** You both screwed me without even blinking, then you tried to make me the bad guy!

**Aishia:** Okay, OKAY, Melissa! I realize that and I've said sorry!

**Melissa (getting more angry):** You know what? “Sorry” doesn't take away the fact that you made me out to be the bad guy in front of everyone and all I did was trust you!

**Aishia:** To be fair, you are really blunt to people's faces, which I can appreciate, but it's also scary because you tell it like it is, which strategically sometimes people don't like to hear.

**Melissa (laughing ironically):** So I’m a bitch cause I am honest.

**Aishia (shaking her head):** I didn't say that. I never said you were a bitch.

**Melissa (pointing at her):** You are a bitch cause you lie to everyone!

**Aishia:** I NEVER SAID YOU WERE A BITCH! So stop calling me one!

**Melissa:** You were hostile to me first!

Aishia shakes her head as the camera zooms in on her.

The scene then shifts to the alliance of Danielle, Melissa, Ryan, Tyler and Timmy talking in the woods.

**Tyler:** So I was thinking Tamsyn tonight at tribal? Do we have enough votes?

**Danielle:** Well, we have five, we’re the majority, but maybe we should include other people.

**Tyler:** Grahame would be down.

**Ryan (nodding):** Yeah, sounds perfect!

The scene changes to Grahame and Tyler talking on the beach.

**Tyler:** Are you down to vote Tamsyn tonight?

**Grahame:** Sure! Do we know who's on board?

**Tyler:** Everyone, basically.

**Grahame:** Okay, cool!

We can now see the Fearsome Fivesome plus Tamsyn have reunited in the forest.

**Danielle:** Alright, guys and gals. What are you thinking for the vote?

**Grahame:** Tyler just came to me sayin' he wants Tamsyn out.

**Tamsyn:** Wow… that bitch.

**Aishia:** And before that, he was throwing my name! He needs to go.

**Tamsyn:** I’m obviously down.

We can now see Tamsyn has left the conversation, leaving the core alliance to chat.

**Aishia (lying):** Okay guys, Tyler has verbally come to me saying Ryan and Grahame's names.

**Ryan (shocked):** HUH?

**Danielle:** Wow, really?

**Aishia:** He came to me a few hours ago, and obviously he has said my name too.

**Ryan:** Okay, I'd like to see Tyler go…

**Grahame:** I would not mind seein' either him or Melissa go, to be honest.

**Aishia:** He said Grahame and Ryan are the two people that he would fancy seeing hit the jury tonight.

**Grahame:** Melissa could have an idol though, which we need to take into consideration.

**Aishia:** Ideally, we get word to Melissa her name is on the block. If she has an idol she'd be paranoid and play it and flush it. We'd actually vote Tyler.

**Grahame:** Great idea! Who here is close to Melissa?

**Ryan (raising their hand):** I am.

The camera zooms in on Aishia’s face, who seems a bit surprised by that statement.

**Grahame:** Okay, maybe Ryan could go talk to her sayin' that you've heard people sayin' her name.

**Aishia:** Melissa is going to ask who's said her name. I'm volunteering to be that person.

**Emilee (to Ryan):** You could throw my name too if you want, I don't have that much of a relationship with her.

**Ryan:** Alright.

The alliance then splits up, as the cameras follow Ryan and Danielle.

**Ryan:** Who do you think should go?

**Danielle:** Honestly? Tyler. Of course, the problem is, if we vote Tyler then our alliance doesn't have the majority anymore.

**Ryan:** I think we'd be better off if we turn on the one we were just talking to. And I think we can get Aishia's forgiveness. What do you think?

**Danielle:** So, we vote Tamsyn tonight?

**Ryan:** Tamsyn and then Grahame, then we would flip back.

**Danielle:** Hmm… That's definitely not a bad idea, the problem is, if Tyler is actually targeting you and Grahame tonight, he'd flip on us before we flip on him.

**Ryan:** Okay, let me just go talk to him.

We can now see Ryan and Tyler talking in the water.

**Ryan:** I heard my name’s come up from you, but I am not holding any grudges and as long as you be completely honest I won't hold it against you.

**Tyler (surprised):** You heard that I want you out? Never! Who told you that?

**Ryan:** I heard you called out both me and Grahame. Is that true?

**Tyler (shaking his head):** Not at all, I want Tamsyn out!

**Ryan (nodding):** Okay, I believe you, but I want you to know that if you ever do target me, I am easily forgiving and will be open to talking about it… I believe you though, don't freak over it! (smiles)

**Tyler:** I never wanted you out, I want to go to the end with you Ryan.

**Ryan:** I totally believe you, this seems legit. *(smiles)*

The scene then changes to Ryan and Melissa talking in the woods.

**Ryan:** Have you found the idol yet?

**Melissa:** Nope.

**Ryan:** Did I offend you by asking that? I don't want to invade your privacy.

**Melissa:** Oh no, don’t worry.

**Ryan:** I am only asking because Aishia has been bringing up your name and she hinted she might have others on her side.

**Melissa (rolling her eyes):** I am literally so tired of her.

**Ryan:** Yeah… so you sure you don’t have the idol?

We can now see Melissa coming up to Danielle in a wooden path.

**Melissa:** Just be honest, is Aishia voting for me?

**Danielle:** No, you're being tricked. Ryan and Aishia hatched a plan to tell you Aishia was targeting you through Ryan so you'd play an idol if you had one while actually voting Tyler out. Aishia said Ryan could use her name because she knew it'd be the most believable.

**Melissa:** Wow… thank you.

**Danielle:** How much do you trust Tyler?

**Melissa:** I don't trust anyone, like I said, I trusted him once and he wrote my name down so…

**Danielle:** I don't trust him either.

**Melissa:** So are they really voting him out?

**Danielle:** Yes, as far as I'm aware Ryan, Aishia, Grahame, Emilee and Tamsyn are.

**Melissa:** Wait, is Emilee in on the plan to make me play an idol?

**Danielle:** Yep.

**Melissa:** Wow… she’s a snake.

The cameras show Emilee coming up to the two women talking

**Emilee:** Hey gi--

**Melissa (cutting her off):** Emilee, you are a dark horse! Trying to take out all the girls… You just want all the boys for yourself! *(storms out)*

**Emilee (dumbfounded):** Wh-what is she talking about?

**Danielle (lying):** Yeah, I'm really confused. Especially since we're voting a guy out tonight, I guess she believes we're voting for her and is mad?

**Emilee:** That makes me really paranoid, I hope she didn't convince some of our allies to flip. *(sighs)*

We can now see the Fearsome Fivesome has reunited again.

**Emilee:** Guys, Melissa just yelled at me saying "You want all the boys for yourself!" and I really don't know what she meant by that...

**Aishia:** What the hell? *(laughs)*

**Grahame:** Okay, here's a crazy idea, why don't we just vote Melissa?

**Aishia:** If you guys want to switch to Melissa, I'm willing.

**Emilee:** I really don't know, I just don't want to go. *(frowns)*

**Ryan:** That girl can store a lot of hate.

**Aishia:** I mean, she's the only person besides me who is winning challenges.

**Danielle:** Melissa may be a physical threat, but I'm sure one of us could beat her and she's not really in on things as far as I can tell.

**Aishia:** She is after me, selfishly I'd love to see her go, but so is Tyler.

**Grahame:** One way or another, we all gotta vote together.

Aishia nods, as the camera zooms in on her face.

As the confessional is displayed, we can see the castaways packing their bags, taking their torches and going to Tribal Council.

### Tribal Council

We can see the Ganesha tribe arriving at Tribal Council, sitting in front of the host.

**Probst:** We’ll now bring in the members of our jury. Dreamer, Caleb and Dylan voted out at the last Tribal Council.

Dylan, staring daggers at Tyler and Grahame, sits on the jury bench with Dreamer and Caleb. Caleb waves at everyone.

**Probst:** Aishia, congratulations on winning immunity again! Do you think this second victory could place a target on your back?

**Aishia:** Thank you! I don't think it should place a target on my back, but if it does then I have no control over that.

**Probst:** Melissa, you've already won two immunities. Now that you're not immune, do you think you could be going home?

**Melissa:** That’s definitely a possibility considering a lot of people have thrown my name out today. I haven’t done anything except getting betrayed again and again, so I genuinely don’t know what to do anymore.

Ryan frowns at that statement.

**Probst:** Ryan, how does the fact that you're sending people to the jury influence the votes?

**Ryan:** In my opinion, my greatest flaw in this game is how I overlook the jury.  I often get overfocused on the game and forget that the people I vote out might have to decide whether I win or not in the end. So to me, it hasn't influenced me at all this game, and I suspect it never will. I predict that I will continue to just have fun and not care. *(giggles)*

Dreamer rolls her eyes, while Melissa seems to not buy this.

**Probst:** Grahame, how do the Karma Cards influence the votes?

**Grahame:** Well, considerin' I keep gettin' 'em, they definitely influence me and my game. Just recently I had to sit out of challenge, which could cost me the whole game tonight. So, at least for me, the Karma Cards are havin' a huge effect on the game.

**Probst:** Emilee, do you think you're going to stay tonight?

**Emilee:** I really don't know if I'm gonna stay, I heard my name come up and I just hope I'm not gonna be blindsided.

Melissa shakes her head, while Danielle pats Emilee on the back.

**Probst:** Tyler, do you think everyone has the same chance of winning?

**Tyler:** Yeah definitely! I mean look at me, I thought I had no chance after getting voted out but I came back and made the merge! These are where legends are made of and last tribal my paranoia got to me and I made a stupid move but tonight my loyalty will show where I stand and that's with my alliance.

**Probst:** Danielle, what do you think is more important, staying loyal to an alliance or flip-flopping with voting blocs?

**Danielle:** Oh, this isn't hard at all; staying loyal to an alliance is far superior to flip-flopping with voting blocs.  The only reason voting blocs have existed is because people didn't trust each other enough to keep permanent alliances with one another, and I think and certainly hope that there's enough trust to go around to keep an alliance together.  But who knows, Jeff, it's freakin' Survivor we're talking about, I could be way off base. *(giggles)*

**Probst:** Alright, well with that, it is time to vote. Timmy, you’re up.

**Probst:** I’ll go tally the votes.

As Probst goes to retrieve the urn, Aishia looks down, wondering if she made the right decision.

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

No one stands.

**Probst:** I’ll read the votes. First vote…

**TAMSYN**.

Tamsyn shakes her head, while Aishia looks on.

**TAMSYN**. (2-0)

Tamsyn rolls her eyes, while Tyler smiles.

**TYLER**. (2-1)

Tyler loses his smile, while Aishia bites her lip.

**TYLER**. (2-2)

Tyler looks around, while Grahame scratches his chin.

**TYLER**. (3-2)

Danielle nods, while Emilee sighs of relief.

**TYLER**. (4-2)

Tamsyn grins while Aishia seems confident in her decision.

Fifteenth person voted out and fourth member of our jury… **Tyler**.

Tyler shakes his head while standing up, while Aishia nods.

**Probst:** That’s five, that’s enough. I need you to bring me your torch.

Ryan seems doubtful in their decision and Timmy looks confused.

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

Tyler goes without a word, as Danielle seems to be feeling bad.

**Probst:** Another blindside tonight, will some people choose their final allegiances or will this path continue? You guys can head back to camp, goodnight.

## Tribal Council #9- Ganesha

 Tamsyn (2 votes)
