Heart Over Mind

This is the sixth episode of *Survivor: Oceania*

## Challenges

**Reward Challenge:** *Dizziness As Usual*
A tribe member would sit on a spinning platform at one end of the playing field. Another tribe member would start at the other end and race across to the platform, grab a rope, and pull it back to the starting line. The rope would be wound around the base of the platform, causing the platform to spin as the rope is unwound. When the "puller" returned to the finish line, the sitting tribe member, now dizzy, would have to race across a balance beam to the finish line. The tribes would race against each other in rounds with the first dizzy tribe member across the finish line scoring one point for their tribe. The first tribe to score three points would win.
**Reward:** A trip to a waterfall and a barbecue with hamburgers.
**Winner:** Weno

**Immunity Challenge:** *Plunge, Pull, Pop*
Two players swim to a pontoon and climb up, alternate diving down to pull bamboo poles out of a cage, eventually making twelve puzzle discs float, then transport them to shore in a small boat. The other three use them to solve a puzzle, matching each disc to the corresponding place on a large board.
**Winner:** Weno

## Story

### KUSAIE

A new episode starts with sad music as we see some waves slowly crashing at the sea, illuminated by the moon. Then the five remaining castaways from the Kusaie tribe arrive at their camp and special focus is given to Cameron who looks serious as he places his torch leaning on a tree.

Everyone goes to the shelter and Brooke tries to comfort Cameron after the blindside.

**Brooke:** Sorry about it dear, it was just something that needed to happen.

**Cameron:** No problem, what happens, happens. I'm just shocked because I really didn't see it coming.

**Isaac:** You two were too strong together.

Cameron nods as he says he gets it. The scene switches to inside the shelter, where Carly and Vince are laying and Vince talks to Carly about the vote.

**Vince:** High-five girl, you are still here.

Carly smiles and they quietly high five when no one was looking.

**Carly (smiling):**Glad everything worked.

**Vince:** Yes, now we can rest easy here.

Carly nods as she feels the same way and then we start to hear Vince's confessional.

In the fire we see Brooke and Isaac alone. The two swing votes for the night.

**Isaac:** I'm happy that we came to a decision.

**Brooke (worried):** Hm, believe it or not, I'm still thinking about it.

**Isaac:** Don't worry about it. It was the best choice, we have to think about our future in the game.

**Brooke (reluctant):** But yet, Can we also trust the other duo in this tribe?

**Isaac:** You mean Carly and Vince? I don't think they are really a duo. They are just together for now, I think both of them are selfish enough to just turn on each other when the time comes.

Brooke nods as she understands Isaac's point of view. The camera goes back to focus on Isaac's face, that doesn't seem nervous as Brooke.

The two of them keep talking as Brooke seems nervous.

**Brooke (nervous):** Okay, but if something goes wrong, I can count with you, right?

**Isaac:** Sure, we kind of are playing together now after this vote.

**Brooke (worried):** Lovely. I just feel bad for Cam.

**Isaac (reassuring):** It's a game, he will move on from it.

**Brooke (worried):** I hope so.

The camera zooms in Brooke's face, that is illuminated by the fire.

The music becomes more emotional as the view transitions to the beach where Cameron is sitting alone facing the sea. The waves keep slowly crashing and the sky is full of starts, building up the scene for the emotional Cameron. The camera turns to highlight his face as he deeply stares in the ocean and all we hear is the sound of the sea and the emotional music playing in the background.

The camera keeps focusing on Cameron and the sea for some moments before cutting to the intro of the series.

### Day 16

A tribal scream is heard for some seconds as the music picks up after it. We start to travel in the woods of Micronesia when the camera suddenly lands on a open field, far from the sea, where the challenge is about to happen. We see two colored balance beams and Jeff Probst awaiting for the Survivors to arrive.

**Probst:** Come on in guys!

The new Weno tribe arrives wearing their red buffs with smiles on their faces. They get to their mat and Daniel fixes their flag in the ground as the castaways turn their sight to see the Kusaie tribe arriving. The five remaining members of Kusaie appear in a line, but this time, without Stephen.

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

A lot of surprised reactions are shown on the Weno tribe, principally from those who were from the old Kusaie tribe. The camera highlights Deanna who looks to Cameron, in shock. Once everyone is over with their reactions, Jeff continues with the show.

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

The castaways nod, but without being enthusiastic or something like this, as they are still shocked about Stephen's departure. Jeff explains the rules of the challenge so that we can finally reveal the reward for winning the challenge.

**Probst:** The winning tribe will be taken to a beautiful waterfall where you will enjoy a relaxing afternoon with barbecue, hamburgers, all the fixings.

Now all the castaways are seen hungry for the win, as they can't wait to have such a nice afternoon in this game.

**Probst:** Weno, you have one extra member, you will need to sit someone out. Remember you can't sit the same person in back to back challenges.

**Nicole:** I'm sitting out, Jeff.

**Probst:** Okay, Nicole, take a seat on the sit-out bench and for the rest fo you I'll give you one minute to strategize and we will get it started.

Nicole picks up her bag and goes to the sit-out bench as the other castaways are seen talking about the challenge before the camera zooms out to show us shots of the challenge before zooming in again.

Now the castaways are in their starting positions.

**Probst:** Here we go, first round, for Kusaie, Vince will be the runner and he will pull Carly. For Weno we have Frank pulling Deanna. Survivors ready?...GO!

Both runners sprint to get to the rope at the end of the field. Vince takes a little bit of a lead as he arrives at his rope seconds first than Frank. Once they get there they grab the rope and start running back making Carly and Deanna spin on their spots. Carly is seen frowning as she barely can't take the spinning. Vince once again gets there first and Carly is ready to go, but she stays sit, still dizzy. Deanna however is quick to stand up, but she stumbles. She gives a try at the balancing beam but falls in her first step. Carly now stands up, but seems lost about what to do, she also tries the beam but she barely climb it. Deanna shakes her head and goes for her second attempt, this time with more success as she walks until the mid-point and then runs to get to the end of the beam while Carly still tries to climb her beam. Deanna finishes the challenge and scores a point for Weno.

**Probst:** Deanna wins for Weno! Weno up, one, zip. Playing to three.

We see Deanna hugging Frank and then Hailey celebrating for her wheel until it fast forwards to the next round.

**Probst:** Okay, second round. Cameron spinning for Kusaie and Hailey spinning for Weno. Survivors ready?...GO!

Once again Frank and Vince run to get to the rope, but this time they arrive at the same moment. They start making their comeback as Hailey and Cameron are seen spinning and spinning. The runners once again are neck to neck arriving at the finish line, making Hailey and Cameron free to go. We see Cameron shaking his head to one side while still sitting and Hailey trying to stand up and stumbling. Cameron then is quick to stand up and seems to have no problem being dizzy. He climbs the balance beam and shakes his head again before taking the first step. Hailey also climbs the beam and tries to find balance on top of it. They both start making their way across but Hailey is slower, while Cameron flies through the obstacle. Cameron finishes first and ties the score.

**Probst:** Cameron is across! Kusaie wins! Kusaie evens it up, one, one.

Cameron high fives Vince on the other side as the takes a deep breath after his effort in the challenge. We also see Hailey being comforted by Deanna as we move on to round three.

**Probst:** Next round, Brooke for Kusaie and Daniel for Weno. Survivors ready?...GO!

The runners make their way to the rope for the first time, but both of them are seen more tired now. Vince this time gets a bigger lead on Frank as he grabs the rope and start running back, making Brooke really spin on the wheel. Frank gets there a little bit after and also comebacks as we see Daniel going round in circles non-stop. Once they get to the finish line, Brooke has a little bit of a lead, but she is seen very confused as she falls on the ground. Daniel tries to maintain his composure but he also keeps tripping. Daniel and Brooke make their first attempt, Brooke finds balance but she falls after two steps while Daniel walks until halfway across but also falls. Daniel now runs back to the start, as he seems way better than before. He quickly climbs the beam and runs through it, leaving Brooke behind. Brooke falls again and tries for the third time, but it's too late as Daniel crosses the the obstacle.

**Probst:** Daniel wins round three, Weno in the lead! Two, one!

Daniel makes a happy dance and Brooke finally finishes crossing the balance beam, giving her tribe a big small.

**Probst:** Fourth round. It's Isaac versus John. Kusaie gotta win this round to stay alive. Weno wins, you win reward. Survivors ready?...GO!

For he fourth time Vince and Frank run for their tribe, now the boys are almost out of breath, taking some time to arrive at the rope. They do it at the same time though, as the race is neck to neck. As they return we see John and Isaac spinning like crazy. Once they finish, Isaac is the first to stand up and he runs for the beam. John slowly stands up and closes his eyes for some seconds before trying to walk. Isaac tries to hurry in the beam but he keeps falling off. John slowly climbs the beam and only walks until he finds total balance. Isaac tries for the fourth time to get across the beam and he makes some progress taking the lead for Kusaie. John slowly walks through the beam, but in the end it pays off as Isaac falls while almost making it to the end and it's too late to catch up and John finishes the challenge and wins Weno reward.

**Probst:** JOHN IS ACROSS! WENO WINS REWARD! AN AMAZING TRIP TO A WATERFALL!

The Weno tribe jumps and cheers as they won their third challenge in a row and so far never lost as a new tribe. We even see Frank trying to celebrate, even if he is tired after the challenge. At the Kusaie tribe, defeat is all over their faces as wee see Brooke with a sad face, Carly rolling her eyes and Vince falling to the ground, exhausted.

**Probst:** Weno, congratulations, a nice afternoon awaiting you guys. Enjoy it!

The Weno tribe say thanks as they grab their stuff and head out to enjoy a big reward for the day.

**Probst:** Kusaie, for the third time, I've got nothing for you. You guys can head back to camp.

The Kusaie tribe sadly nods as the five members pick their stuff and head back to camp, very tired after this challenge. The camera focuses on Carly and Brooke before cutting to the commercial break.

### WENO

The show comebacks with a funny music as we see a beautiful shot of a waterfall in the middle of the forest. The waterfall is big as has a little lake behind it for the castaways to swim. We see the Weno tribe arriving at the spot all smiling, stunned by the place and by the food. As waiting for them in a picnic table we see fruits, hamburgers and drinks.

**Nicole (celebrating):** Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah!

Daniel and John high-five as they can't believe there's this many food in front of them.

The scene goes back to the castaways as they start seeing everything that there is to eat and then Hailey finally notices the grill.

**Hailey (excited):** Oh my God! There are some hamburgers in the grill already!

**John (smiling):** Yes, I just need to eat those. The faster the better.

Everyone giggles at John's comment as the mood at the reward seems good. The camera focuses on John's face, smiling, as his confessional is about to air.

Now all the castaways are seen eating the appetizers and then making their own hamburgers. We see Frank adding a lot of stuff in his hamburger, surprising he other castaways.

**Daniel:** Wow, Frank! Take it easy man. **(chuckling)**

**Frank:** I'm going to eat all I can when we still have food.

The Weno tribe smiles at Frank as everyone proceeds to keep making their food. When Frank is finished we see him taking a big bite on his hamburger and then closing his eyes to feel the taste of it.

Everyone is seen devouring their foods, where there is no manners between the group. Everyone is just ready to kill the hunger that has been living inside them for the past two weeks. As they finish eating all they can, they prepare to go for a swim and take a shower at the waterfall.

**Daniel (stunned):** Look at this water.

The whole tribe minus Deanna and Hailey enter the water as we keep seeing shots of them having fun. Nicole takes a good shower in the waterfall and Daniel relaxes in a floating chair. The focus, however, ends in Deanna and Hailey still sitting in the picnic table.

**Deanna:** So, it seems Stephen left.

**Hailey:** Yeah...I wonder what happened.

Deanna nods as she also wonders what happened at the Kusaie tribe.

The two girls keep talking as Hailey eats some of the appetizers that were left.

**Deanna (worried):** We need to know what to do now, because we are one member down on our alliance and on our tribe.

**Hailey:** True, we can't let anyone else leave. I wonder how is Cameron and Isaac holding up on Kusaie.

**Deanna:** Oh, I feel for Cameron, but Isaac must be very happy right now. He finally made his move.

**Hailey (not sure):** Do you think Isaac flipped?

**Deanna (certain):** I'm almost sure. I hope he gets blindsided on the next vote.

Hailey chuckles a little as even Deanna herself laughs at her mean comment.

**Hailey:** Well, we still don't know what happened. It could've been a rock drawn or an idol play. It's hard to be sure at this point.

**Deanna:** Maybe you're right...maybe!

Hailey smiles at Deanna as the girls decide to go for a swim with everyone else. We see Deanna jumping into the water and then Hailey slowly entering the clear water.

Later in the day we see Frank approaching Daniel in the border of the water as they talk privately.

**Frank:** Hey, dude!

**Daniel:** Hello, Frank. You had a good time today, right?

**Frank:** For sure. It's good to enjoy these rewards. Specially because there's actually cool people on this tribe.

Daniel makes a weird face and nods as a quirky sound is heard in the background.

Frank keeps pushing to talk with Daniel about the game, who tries to avoid it.

**Frank:** Look, man, I just want you to know that I will be playing with you. I really don't care about my old tribe mates, I hate all of them, no exceptions.

**Daniel (uncomfortable):** If you say it.

**Frank:** Yeah, so, if you need a vote to send one of them home, count with me.

**Daniel (holding back):** Sure, if we go to tribal council I guess we can discuss that.

**Frank (smiling):** Great. I would love to blindside them, they won't even see it coming.

Daniel gives Frank a quirky smile and nods as the surfer says he will have some more food, leaving Daniel alone.

It's almost time for they to come back to camp and we see only Nicole and Hailey swimming. Hailey floats around with her eyes closed, enjoying the moment, while we see Nicole standing below the waterfall, also enjoying the moment.

Nicole finishes with the waterfall and goes talk with Hailey.

**Nicole (smiling):** Hey girl, how are you doing?

**Hailey:** Hae Gurl! *(chuckling)*

They keep chuckling as Nicole continues with the conversation.

**Nicole (smiling):** So, you wanna hear something crazy?

**Hailey (nodding):** I love crazy stuff.

Hailey smiles to Nicole as before the nutritionist speaks, her confessional airs.

Nicole then shares her plan idea with Hailey as she has the wish to change the game.

**Nicole:** Well, I have a cool idea and I think it could benefit us both.

**Hailey:** Great, I'm all ears.

**Nicole:** Being honest with you, you are the person I've connected the most out here and we only are together for like four days. I think this kind of relation can't go to waste, I mean, we can change this game together.

**Hailey (excited):** I feel the same way! I'm ready to hear your crazy idea, I bet I'm going to love it. *(smiling)*

**Nicole:** If you and me get together, no one will see it coming. We can ride our way to the final two and no one will suspect it. You bring information form Kusaie and I bring information from Weno and we go this road playing both sides.

**Hailey:** You really don't have to tell me anything more. I'm down for it.

**Nicole (smiling):** I'm glad you liked the idea. We can control this game, how amazing it would be?

**Hailey:** I know!

The girls smile to each other as they have to contain their excitement because everyone is around. The cmaera focuses on Hailey as they secretly shake hands below water meaning the deal is set.

We see Hailey and Nicole leaving the water as the tribe pick ups their stuff and start to leave this wonderful reward. We see Deanna sending kisses to the waterfall before it cuts to the other tribe's camp.

### KUSAIE

A beautiful shot of different kinds of fishes swimming in the ocean is shown to us in the transition to the Kusaie camp. After their third loss in a row the tribe is feeling a little down and so is the music. The focus, however, lands on Brooke and Cameron talking near the fire as the boy adds more dry wood to the fireplace.

**Brooke (caring):** So, after one day, how are you holding up sweetie?

**Cameron:** I'm fine, I guess it just sucks to keep losing and losing.

Brooke nods as she feels for the boy after she blindsided him the night before.

**Brooke:** Well, since we are here alone, I want to talk with you about some sweet stuff.

**Cameron:** At this point in the game, I'm all ears.

**Brooke (regretful):** I think I did the wrong thing last night and I really do regret it. I was pressured by Isaac and I was really afraid to tie things up, so I made a misjudged choice. And I'm sorry for that.

**Cameron (nodding):** It's okay, it's a game after all, you don't have nothing to be sorry about.

**Brooke:** True, but I am, honey! And that's why I want to tell you that from here on out I'm by your side. Jeez, I want to make up for it so I'll do anything in my little power to make you survive if we lose again.

**Cameron (smiling):** I'm more than glad to hear that. So, we have a deal or something?

**Brooke:** Yes, yes! Deal, deal, deal!

Brooke chuckles nervously as the two of them shake hands. The camera then proceeds to focus on Cameron's sincere smile.

In the beach, Vince and Carly watch Cameron and Brooke talking from distance as they get intrigued about what the two of them could be talking.

**Carly (annoyed):** Those two really have a lot of stuff to talk about.

**Vince:** Yeah, but it's no surprise. It's clear Brooke doesn't like us. The important thing is that she voted with us last tribal, so that what matters.

**Carly:** She voted with us on this one, but will she keep doing so?

**Vince:** We just need to work on her like we did last time. Make her nervous about her position, and without John around she will just follow whatever we say.

**Carly (annoyed):** I hope you are right, because I don't want this woman screwing my game.

Vince nods as Carly lays down and gives up watching Cameron and Brooke and decides to tan a little.

As Vince and Carly keep talking, now not caring about what is going on at camp, Isaac approaches them as he was taking a bath on the sea.

**Isaac:** Hey guys. *(sitting next to Vince)*

**Vince:** Hey there, dude. The water was nice?

**Isaac:** Yes, very refreshing.

Vince smiles and nods before ti cuts to Isaac's confessional.

Isaac then starts the game talk with the two Weno members, wanting to secure his position.

**Isaac:** Okay, just to make sure, Cameron and Brooke are the next ones to go, right?

**Vince:** Yes man, if we keep losing, it's me, you and Carly to the end.

**Isaac (relaxed):** Great, I just wanted you guys to know that with last night's vote I was really giving you my loyalty.

**Vince:** For sure, a deal is a deal.

Vince smirks at Isaac so he understands his message and Isaac nods as Carly keeps her eyes closed, sun bathing.

Vince is seen smirking to Isaac once again as they keep talking about their positions in the game. Later the focus goes back to Cameron and Brooke having a good time sitting next to the fire before it cuts to a break.

### WENO

The episode continues as the camera arrives at the Weno camp. It's already Day 17 and the Weno tribe relaxes at camp after a very pleasant reward the day before. The camera focuses on Hailey and Deanna sitting on the same hammock and balancing as Daniel sits in the sand, talking with the two girls.

**Daniel:** So, girls, I think we need to catch up on some real stuff.

**Deanna (smiling):** Yes, we really do.

**Daniel:** Well, Frank said to me yesterday his vote was ours, no matter what.

**Deanna:** Well, we could use that in our favor now and on the merge.

**Daniel (not certain):** True, but my feel is that he is too much of a wild-card. I don't think it will be smart or right for us to just carry him along us in the road.

**Hailey:** I agree with Dan. He is a Weno member, anyway, voting for him won't be no problem.

**Deanna:** Okay, but if we really merge next time, we will need numbers on our side, just saying.

The camera focuses on Deanna's face, as she looks ready to spill her opinion.

Deanna then decides to warn Daniel about her insecurities about Isaac.

**Deanna (serious):** Look, what I really think happened at the Kusaie tribe was that Isaac betrayed Cameron and Stephen.

**Daniel (surprised):** Wow, you really think that happened?

**Deanna:** Yes, I mean, you better than everyone here knows how Isaac had some agenda against the boys.

**Daniel (embarrassed):** Well...that's true. But would he do it in this situation? Numbers for Kusaie are everything now.

**Hailey:** Yeah, De, I told you, it could have been a tie or something.

**Deanna (serious):** I know he did it, and that's why I'm worried about him being part of the Kusaie tribe or not.

Daniel nods as he seems to be buying Deanna's ideas.

After Daniel's confessional the camera pans over to camp to land on the beach where we see John and Nicole walking together on the beach.

**John:** So, I'm so happy we keep winning like this.

**Nicole *(smiling)*:** Me too! If we keep this streak we won't have to worry about Tribal Council for some time.

**John:** I hope so! But, any good news about this tribe?

**Nicole:** I think it's pretty much the same. Everyone likes us, but nothing concrete for an alliance yet.

**John:** Thought so.

**Nicole:** Look, maybe we could try something with Frank. Like, it wouldn't hurt to talk with him, right?

**John:** True, I'll talk to him later then.

Nicole smiles and nods as her face is focused before it cuts to her confessional.

Later in the day John and Frank are seen walking in the woods as John called the surfer to find resources for camp.

**Frank (bluntly):** Well, you called me here, I guess you want to say something about the game.

**John:** Yes...yes, I kind of need to talk to you. I hope you don't mind.

**Frank:** Okay, go ahead.

Frank stares to John who looks confused about Frank's attitude before his confessional airs.

John and Frank now stopped walking and are standing as they talk.

**John (explaining):** I know you have your differences against us, but I thought everything was fine between us now. I hoped you had understood the move we made taking Wayne out, it wasn't against you.

**Frank:** Yeah, I'm sorry for my little show on the first day here. I was just nervous...and I'm sorry dude.

Frank keeps looking to John, who was not expecting that.

**John (a bit confused):** Hm, it's okay. I wanted to raise the white flag with you today, so I'm glad you are the one saying that. I think as Weno members we really need to look out for each other on this tribe.

**Frank:** True, we can't let them rule around here. I'm with you on that.

**John (a bit confused):** So you are all for a Weno's union then?

**Frank (smiling):** Of course!

John smiles to Frank back as both boys shake their hands. They decide to go back to camp and we hear them talking about Nicole for some seconds before it cuts o Frank's confessional.

Frank is seen arriving at camp and smirking as Nicole looks to John wanting answers, but the single father only shrugs his shoulders as he doesn't know what to say about the conversation.

### KUSAIE

As the camera arrives at Kusaie's camp we see the crystal-clear ocean shining in the middle of the day. Then the focus goes to Brooke and Isaac talking near the beach while Brooke collects some sea food.

**Brooke:** So, brother Isaac, I really have something to talk with you sweetie.

**Isaac (open to hear it):** I imagined so, go ahead.

**Brooke (trying to explain):** Well, it's pretty damn obvious that we are in the middle of this little tribe right now. I do believe we are the deciding vote since last Tribal and I wanted to talk to you about that.

Isaac nods, as Brooke stops collecting the sea food to focus on the conversation, putting her right hand on her hip.

Brooke keeps talking with Isaac about their position in the tribe as the lady offers him the deal.

**Brooke:** Honey, I think we did the wrong choice when we voted out Stephen. We can't trust Vince and Carly, they are little devils dressed as Survivor players!

**Isaac:** Yeah, they don't send me good vibes as well, but what do you suggest us to do?

**Brooke:** We need to save the poor boy from this fate. Cameron doesn't deserve to be the next one to go. We need to get rid of Vince and Carly before it's oh too late.

**Isaac (thinking about it):** You are saying that we blindside Vince and Carly in case we go to Tribal Council next challenge?

**Brooke:** On spot! We have the numbers, dear!

**Isaac:** I'll think about it. I really do think it's a good procedure, I just need to check everything.

**Brooke (accepting):** All the time you need, all the time you need!

Isaac smiles to Brooke, who seems energetic about the whole situation of making a move.

As Isaac and Brooke return to camp the scene transitions to Cameron on a raft in the middle of the sea, with the fishing gear.

**Cameron (smiling):** Let's see if I have any luck today.

Cameron puts on the diving mask and jumps in the water as various shots of him swimming and trying to catch some fishes are shown to us, the viewers. We successfully catches a couple of fishes as the heroic music plays in the background. Before it cuts to the young man's confessional we see him smiling as he throws yet another fish into a bowl.

Later we see Cameron returning to camp full of fishes for the tribe, who welcome him with a round of applause.

**Brooke (excited):** Uh, we have dinner!

**Cameron (smiling):** I hope it's enough.

Everyone smiles at Cameron as he drops the fishes near the fire. The camera then proceeds to focus on Carly, who smirks as she can't take her eyes off Cameron.

Calry is seen eating the fish with a big smile on her face as she keeps glaring at Cameron, before it cuts to the Weno's tribe camp.

### WENO

As the camera arrives at Weno's camp the heroic music stops playing. In its place a cloudy music starts, filling the scene with suspense. The focus is given to Frank who makes his way through the jungle, alone, looking around, like he is searching for something.

**Frank:** Where are you hiding, baby?

Frank looks back to check if he is really alone, as he starts searching once more for what we would suspect is the hidden immunity idol.

Various shots of Frank looking for the idol are shown, but as the idol isn't there, Frank has no luck on finding it, which leaves the surfer mad.

**Frank (angry):** Dammit! I've spent more than a hour here.

Frank shakes his head as he gives up digging one more hole in the ground.

**Frank (angry):** I bet one of those little liars has it already. I guess I should have predicted that. Sneaky as they are, they most have found it on day one!

Frank stand sup and grabs his bag that was laying next to him as he is obviously angry for having no success at finding the idol. As he makes his way back to camp, his confessional airs.

Frank arrives at camp and everyone's sights turn to him. He looks pissed he didn't find the idol, but he expected it. As he sits in the shelter with a closed face a gong is heard and the show fades to commercial.

### DAY 18

As the show comes back we hear tribal voices as the camera travels through Oceania's jungles. The camera slows down when it gets to the beach, where we see a floating platform in the sea and two big puzzle tables back in shore. The final focus is given to Probst, who awaits the castaways in his normal position.

**Probst:** Come on in guys.

Both tribes appear carrying their tribe flags with smiles on their faces. Weno looks confident after three wins in a row and Kusaie looks ready for a challenge.

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

Probst walks to Weno's mat to take back the idol from Nicole's hands who smiles as she gives up the idol. When Jeff returns to his spot he says his famous phrase.

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

All the castaways smiles and Jeff goes on to explain today's challenge rules. When he finishes he asks for Weno's sit out.

**Probst:** Weno you have one extra member, you will need to sit someone out and it can't be Nicole.

**Hailey:** I'll sit out Jeff! *(raising her hand and smiling)*

**Probst:** Okay, Hailey, take a spot on the sit out bench, for the rest of you, I'll give you one minute to strategize and we will get it started.

Hailey nods as she wishes her tribe good luck and walks to the sit out bench. We see the tribes getting together to talk about the challenge right before the camera zooms out.

As the camera zooms back in we see various shots of the challenge and then the castaways, already in their starting positions.

**Probst:** Here we go, for immunity. Survivors ready?...GO!

The two duos jump in the water and start swimming to the platform in the middle of the sea. Cameron takes the lead, but Isaac is the last one in this first race. Cameron arrives first, but has to wait for Isaac, giving time to Weno to start the challenge in the lead. Deanna jumps in the water and moves quickly underneath it, releasing a lot of bamboo sticks. Isaac arrives a few seconds late, but Cameron is ready to jump in the water. The artisan stays a lot of time under the water and makes up a lot of time for Kusaie. When Deanna returns it's time for Frank to go. Isaac stays just a little bit underneath the water, but it's enough to release some disks. Kusaie has four disks released while Weno has five when Deanna goes to jump again. This time Deanna is more tired and only works on two bamboo poles. The divers keep alternating, but Weno is seen with more luck as Frank pulls crucial poles releasing more disks to Weno. When Isaac comes back from his second time the score is nine to seven for Weno. Cameron once again tries to make up for it but has no luck as he only releases two disks on his try. Deanna now goes deeper to release the last poles we see all four of them with difficulties breathing, but they keep fighting. Weno finishes first and Deanna and Frank start loading their little boat so they can returns to shore. After one more dive Cameron is able to finish it for Kusaie, making it a race to shore. Weno does a good job, but Kusaie wins some ground as Cameron pulls the boat with all his strength. Both tribes arrive at the beach in the exact same second and the six puzzle solvers run to get their pieces. Vince leads the Kusaie tribe, wanting to win their first challenge while at Weno the three castaways work together. With cooperation the Weno tribe once again takes the lead while Vince gets pissed off with Brooke and Carly, that doesn't help him with the puzzle. In the end Weno's organization wins them the challenge as Nicole places the last piece of the puzzle and screams for Jeff.

**Probst:** THAT'S IT! NICOLE IS RIGHT, WENO WINS IMMUNITY ONCE AGAIN!

The Weno tribe cheer and jump as they are all smiling for their fourth win in a row. While Vince throws a puzzle piece on the ground for being mad at losing again. Carly's confused face is shown before the camera proceeds to show us Jeff with the tribal idol.

**Probst:** Weno, congratulations, once again immunity is yours.

Jeff takes the idol to the Weno tribe, satisfied with their effort in the challenge.

**Probst:** And for you Kusaie, yet another meet with me at Tribal Council tonight. That's it, everyone can grab your stuff and head back to camp. Good afternoon.

Both tribes pick up their things and start leaving the area. The camera focuses on Cameron, Carly and then finally on Vince who is still on the heat for losing their fourth challenge.

A final focus is given to Vince and then, it fades to commercial.

### KUSAIE

The last part of the episode starts with the five remaining members of the Kusaie tribe arriving back at camp to get ready for Tribal Council at night. Vince is highlighted as he places his stuff next to a tree and throws his body in the shelter.

**Vince (pissed):** Here we go again.

**Cameron (jokingly):** Yeah, losing is a new member of this tribe.

Vince lets out a small smile as the camera goes back to Cameron, who tries to remain positive but it's clear that he is worried about something.

The tribe is reunited around the fire and Cameron is looking for an excuse to talk with Brooke.

**Cameron:** Well, I think we have some stuff to wash, can you help me Brooke?

**Brooke (happy):** Of course dear, we will need a pan to boil the water later, so let's do it! *(smiling)*

Cameron smiles back as he starts grabbing some utensils to clean and then Brooke follows him to the sea.

As Cameron and Brooke wash the pans by the sea, Cameron bring sup the game talk.

**Cameron:** So, actually, I wanted to talk to you about the vote tonight.

**Brooke (smiling):** I though so. Speak out, dear.

**Cameron (unsure):** Well, your plan is still valid for tonight, right?

**Brooke (nodding):** Of course, relax. I'm voting with you tonight, don't worry. If you want we can call Isaac and decide this right now.

**Cameron (relaxing):** Yeah, that would be good, I guess...

Brooke smiles and winks as she looks back to camp, trying to find where Isaac is.

Now Isaac is with Brooke and Cameron by the sea as Vince and Carly work on camp stuff back at the main area.

**Isaac:** Tell me, what's the issue? *(putting his hands on the hip)*

**Cameron (a bit nervous):** I wanted to talk to you about the vote tonight. Like, if we will go on with the plan to send Carly home.

**Isaac (unsure):** Hm...Well, is that what you two are up to?

Cameron nods as Brooke proceeds to give her opinion.

**Brooke (decided):** Yes, Cameron has been pulling his weight and if we want any chance to win any future challenge, we will need him and not lazy-ass Carly girl.

**Isaac:** Okay, that's a point of view. **(chuckling a little)**

**Cameron (driven):** Sure, and if you are with us we have three votes and that's majority. Carly is dangerous for our game, she is just way to sneaky, we can't let her rule this tribe with Vince, this is our home, man, Kusaie!

Isaac stops to think about what Cameron said as Brooke stares at him with a funny look.

**Isaac:** You are right about this one. I guess we have a deal for the night then, right?

Cameron nods and Isaac smiles back and then the three of them shake their hands discretely as the camera focuses on Isaac's serious smile.

The three of them continue to wash the pans and utensils but the camera focuses on Cameron, who sighs from relief.

After Cameron's confessional the view switches to the main camp, where Vince and Carly are sitting on the edge of the shelter, observing the three other castaways talking at the beach.

**Vince (serious):** They are definitively up to no good down there.

**Carly (bluntly):** I don't know why you are worried, if they have a target, it's clearly me.

Vince sighs and keeps staring at the beach while Carly checks her nails before it cuts to Vince's confessional.

As Vince picks up a banana to eat the two of them continue their conversation.

**Vince:** So, we are set on Cameron?

**Carly:** I guess so. Yet, I would love to get rid of Brooke, I mean she is getting on my nerves. She just goes around there scheming behind our backs and just being the old bitch she is...Like, is she serious?

**Vince *(thinking)*:** Totally, she is not on our side anymore, that's a fact. And she does pull us back in challenges.

Shots of Brooke loudly laughing on the beach are shown as they continue talking.

**Carly:** And to be honest, I like having Cameron around, he brings us food and that's all I care right now.

**Vince *(unsure)*:** But I'm afraid to have Cameron make the merge.

**Carly *(decided)*:** What's the big difference between Cameron and Brooke? It's not like any of them will vote with us anyway.

Vince makes a thinking face as it cuts to his confessional.

Isaac comes back from the beach and sits on the sand near the shelter so he can join the conversation between Vince and Carly.

**Isaac:** Hey guys, what's up? *(sitting)*

**Vince (direct):** Not much, just talking about the vote. What about you, what was going on down there?

**Isaac (holding back):** Same. Just game talk, going to Tribal Council isn't fun at all.

**Vince:** Oh, really? So Cameron was trying to sell his vote or something?

Isaac stays silent for some time as he doesn't know what to say and after Vince stares at him he finally says something.

**Isaac (uncomfortable):** Yeah...Brooke kind of wants to vote for Carly and Cameron is doing it to save his life.....

**Carly (sassy):** Me? Can't say I didn't expect it, that sneaky old bitch. And they wanted you as a third vote?

Isaac nods and Vince proceeds to hold the conversation under his control.

**Vince:** Brooke was never someone you could trust. She looks sweet but she changes her mind in seconds, you can't never count on her about anything. Maybe it's time for her to finally go home.

Isaac's worried face is focused on as his confessional starts on the background.

We see Brooke and Cameron coming back to camp and the focus goes to Carly who gives out a clearly fake smile to Brooke while she passes.

We see the sun starting to set down as Cameron prepares to go to Tribal Council. He observes Isaac in distance, talking with Vince and Carly, making the boy worried about the plan for the night.

It's getting even darker and it's about time for Tribal Council and Cameron and Isaac are talking in a private spot near the shelter.

**Cameron (worried):** Dude, nothing changed, right? It's Carly for sure?

**Isaac:** Yes don't worry, we have a deal.

**Cameron (rushing):** Man, I don't know what Vince has been saying to you during all day, but he is not to be trusted, he doesn't want anything to do with us, believe, he is just using you to advance in the game.

**Isaac (offended):** I know how to take care of myself. Relax.

**Cameron (rushing):** I know that. And that's why I trust you with this one.

Isaac nods as the camera zooms out to Isaac's confessional while the tense music starts to play in the background.

All the castaways are now seen grabbing their torches and walking in line to Tribal Council where the sixth person is about to be voted out of this game. The Tribal Council area is highlighted as we see five torches approaching it. The castaways make their way inside it. As usual, Jeff is there to welcome them.

**Probst:** Welcome yo your second Tribal Council in a roll as a new tribe.

The castaways sit and place their torches behind them as the famous Tribal Council music plays.

**Probst**: Well, Cameron, last time we met you were very confident about your tribe, how have things changed if they changed at all?

**Cameron:** Things changed, Probst, believe me! *(chuckling)* I was blindsided on the last vote and if that is an indication, I may be going home tonight.

**Probst**: So, Isaac that should mean good news for you, if Cameron is definitely on the outs, why worry?

**Isaac**: You can see it this way Jeff, but it's way more complicated. Tribal Councils is always about making the right call and sometimes the obvious one...isn't the right one.

Cameron sighs and smiles as Jeff raises an eyebrow.

**Probst**: Brooke, if what Isaac is saying is true, then Cameron might be safe tonight?

**Brooke (smiling):** He could Jeff. This game changes every second and as Isaac said, you don't always make the right call on Tribal, so...ou may want to make up for it.

Carly rolls her eyes, catching Jeff's attention.

**Probst (interested)**: Why the big reaction over there Carly?

**Carly (sassily):** Oh, it's pretty simple to understand it. Brooke is a flipper and I'm tired of her face and ethic around me. I'm over it.

A gong is heard as Brooke makes a shocked face with Carly's reaction and Vince shakes his head while softly laughing.

**Probst**: Why that?

**Carly (bluntly):** Brooke plays this quirky old lady role, but if there's someone out here you can't trust is her. She changes her mind every second and she is as stable as an ocean.

Brooke shakes her head in disagreement and decides to speak up.

**Brooke (irritated):** That's far from the true. I'm the only one here playing with my heart and if you need someone to help and take care of you...it's me, and I'm really sad at you for saying such a thing about me.

**Carly (not moved):** Give the speech you want Brooke, but you can't deny you gave your back to me and Vince, that's true and that proves how stupid and questionable you are.

Another gong is heard as the only one who seems to be enjoying the discussion is Vince.

**Probst (confused):** Vince, you seem to be enjoying this, why?

**Vince:** Is not that I'm enjoying it Probst, is more me trying to relax for the vote tonight. Survivor is a serious game, but, you know, laughing sometimes is the best option.

Isaac makes a please expression as Probst turns his sight to Cameron.

**Probst:** Cameron, if there's two people fighting in this tribe, this could be good news for you, right?

**Cameron:** It could, but to be realistic, I don't care about the fights, all I need to care is about honesty, is about who is voting with me and who is not. As Isaac very well remarked each Tribal Council is a new decision you need to make and what I want to be clear here is that the road you choose now, you won't be able to go back. It's make or break and that's what everyone should have in mind while voting.

Cameron smiles after his good effort in answering such a question as Probst smiles at him.

**Probst:** Well, then we better get to the voting. Vince, you are up.

Vince stand up still chuckling a bit and makes his way to the voting booth. The next one is Carly as we see her sassily voting for Brooke. Brooke is highlighted wirting something and then it's Cameron's time. His vote for Carly is shown to the audience before Isaac stands up to play the decisive vote. As Isaac comes back after taking his time to vote Jeff is ready to get the urn.

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

The music picks up as Jeff goes and returns with the urn in hands. Carly has a bitchy look in her face while Cameron and Brooke are highlighted for being worried about the vote.

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

Cameron closes his eyes as Vince is focused letting go a small smirk.

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

**First Vote: Carly**

Carly rolls her eyes as she expected it and Brooke is seen nodding with her head.

**Second Vote: Carly** That's two votes for Carly.

Carly rolls her eyes once again as Vince starts to look serious.

**Third Vote: Brooke**

Brooke shakes her head as she wasn't expecting Carly to vote for her. Cameron looks to Brooke worrying about the woman safety.

**Fourth Vote: Brooke** That's two votes Carly and Brooke. One vote left.

Brooke is clearly worried as Cameron holds her hands. The final focus goes to Isaac who looks serious, waiting for his final vote.

**Probst:** Fifth vote and sixth person voted out of Survivor: Oceania: Brooke, that's three and that's enough, you need to bring me your torch.

Brooke's jaw drops as she stands up to hug Cameron. Carly is seen with an evil smile on her face while Isaac whispers something to Vince.

**Isaac (whispering):** We are together man.

Vince nods and Brooke is seen taking her torch to Probst while Cameron covers his face for being sad about the vote's result.

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

**Brooke (jokingly):** Darn!

Brooke laughs and turns to say her goodbyes.

**Brooke:** Go get them all!

Cameron waves goodbye as we see tears coming out of his face while Carly is back again with her closed face.

**Probst:** As many have said, a decisive vote. Did you guys made the right call? Only time will tell.Grab your stuff and head back to camp, goodnight.

The four remaining castaways grab their torches and leave. In the mean-way we see Isaac bro hugging Vince and Carly with a satisfied smile on her face. The last shot is an aerial view of Tribal Council and then episode six comes to an end.

## Next Time on *Survivor*...

* The merge comes and with that the game switches. Who will prevail and who will fail?

"I don't care about anyone else"
"I gotta stick for my decisions"
"He's just too much trouble"
"I'm a bad girl and I'm ready to do bad things"
"That's so unexpected!"
