"A Name For Solidarity"
Nonouti: Dave, Elyse, Frosti, Gina, Na’Onka, Shawn, Tom.
Tarawa: Angelia, Cochran, Lindsey, Matty, Nina, Parvati, Pete, Shannon.
Voiceover – Previously on… Survivor!
We could see one of the atolls of Kiribati from an aerial view.
Voiceover – Sixteen Americans began the adventure of a life time…
We could see sixteen people walking along the beach with a helicopter following them.
Voiceover – Divided in two tribes! Tarawa…
We could see the eight Tarawa.
Voiceover – And Nonouti!
We could see the eight Nonouti.
Voiceover – They faced each other in a first battle for a flint and Cochran leaded Tarawa to victory with his calculating skills…
Cochran whispers in his tribe’s ears.
Cochran – Go for three’s until it gets low.
Angelia nods.
Confessional Angelia - He used his math skills and owned it like no tomorrow. I'm so proud of him.
Jeff Probst – Tarawa wins Reward!
Tarawa cheers.
Voiceover – While Neleh led her tribe … to nothing.
Neleh picked three rocks. Na’Onka looked at her tribe with a strange expression.
Na’Onka – What is Neleh doing…?
Voiceover – Back to Nonouti camp, she became a clear target…
Tom and Na’Onka were watching Neleh making a shelter with branches.
Tom – She’s building the shelter… oh my god.
Confessional Tom - The one annoyance right now is Neleh. She’ll be the first to go.
Voiceover – And an alliance of four was born between Tom, Shawn, Na’Onka and Elyse…
We could see them four together.
Elyse – This looks like a good alliance to me.
Shawn – Absolutely.
Tom looked at them.
Confessional Tom – We have our four people, and we’re in control.
Voiceover – But their unity did not mean anything with Neleh leading her tribe to disaster when she couldn’t swim for immunity...
Neleh finally got her head into the water and resurfaced immediately, spitting more water.
Neleh – Fuck that.
Matty just put in the last piece of a puzzle.
Jeff Probst – Tarawa wins Immunity!
Angelia – YAY!
Matty – WOO!
Voiceover – But like if her past failures were not enough, her tribe had to endure her scrambling!
Neleh – You’re a slave.
Na’Onka turned around immediately.
Na’Onka – Rot in a hole, you skinny little bitch.
Rather than replying, Neleh glared at the sack of beans. She kicked it, and all the beans spilled on the ground.
Confessional Neleh – They are playing with fire!
We could see Neleh and Na’Onka having a fight while Dave was picking the beans up and the next thing we could see was her talking to Shawn.
Neleh - I’m voting Tom off.
And then to Elyse…
Neleh – Let’s make an alliance. I have no one. We only need four votes for a tie, five for lead.
Elyse – I think it would work.
Elyse nods.
Voiceover – But ultimately, the entire tribe sent her home.
Jeff Probst – And the 1st person voted out of Survivor: Kiribati…
Jeff Probst – Neleh.
We could see Dave smiling with Shawn and Neleh swearing on her way out.
Neleh - f*** off! I’m Neleh! F*** you all bitches!
Voiceover – Now, Fifteen people are left… who will be voted out… tonight!?
NONOUTI, NIGHT 3
We could see the tribe coming back with their torches in hand in darkness. We could see Tom.
Tom – What is her problem, OH MY GOD.
Elyse – You’re next, Tom!
Dave – Oh my god, Tom she hated you.
Shawn – It’s cause you have white hair.
We could see Shawn putting the torch onto a tree, just like Tom.
Tom – I noticed. YEAH, SHE’S AGIST.
Shawn – She hates old people.
Tom – I guess so.
We could see Tom confessing in the night.
Confessional Tom – 
That tribal council SUCKED. Neleh is such a bitch, thank god she went. I was paranoid, without a good reason that I was going to be blindsided after that bean fiasco. But it’s over, and we’re going to win reward plus immunity, kick ass, and not go there for a while.

Na’Onka also just moved a bag away so she could have a room in the shelter to sleep.
Confessional Na'Onka – 
I've never had to deal with someone so ignorant in my life. Her being the first boot has helped Nonouti greatly. We don't have to guard our beans no more or try to stop her from sabotaging anything we have going on.

TARAWA, DAY 4
During the morning, we could see fog at the horizon and it was lightly raining. A few people were still sleeping and others were not doing much, except for Nina, who was placing clothes on the clothes line. Shannon was just looking at her working, while snapping the machete continuously like he was thinking.
Confessional Shannon – 
I don't want to beat around the bush and this might shoot me in the foot, but I'm ready to get this shit started. I don't want to pussy foot around the game and wait for alliances. I want to make them.

As if time had passed, Shannon was already next to Nina, talking to her.
Shannon – You’re a cool chick, Nina. You better believe you’re the most safe.
Nina – Thank you Shannon.
Shannon – I hope alliances haven’t been formed yet… If not, I’d love to try and get something together that protects a core group of people on the tribe, and I’m thinking the hard workers of the tribe.
Nina – I’m glad to hear my hard work is appreciated. Being the oldest broad here, I thought I’d have a harder time, especially when all the other females are going to try and flirt their way into an alliance.
Shannon – Our first two boots are easy if its keep going the way it is… Parvati, Lindsey.
Nina – Actually, you are in luck, very few people were having any actual conversations, but we also have to make sure that the people we are with are not going to be flimsy or anything like that.
Shannon nods.
Confessional Shannon –
I get the feeling that she is a very paranoid woman. Instead of jumping at the thought of safety and getting an alliance together, she instead beat around the bush and subtly turns it down. Her response to me was a no. I will just have to find greener pastures elsewhere. This broad pissed me off, she was the safest person in my book and now she’s one of the two people I want gone the most.

We could see the fog disappearing slowly, but the rain remained. Pete, Shannon and Matty were listening to Angelia, who standing by a tree with a hood on her head to protect her hair from the rain.
Angelia – I think that we four deserve to stick around on this tribe the longest.
Matty – I agree, we’re definitely the strongest and we deserve to make it far together.
Angelia – With that being said, this alliance needs to be super official. As far as I know, we’re all on board.
Matty – I feel like we can dominate this game and be a strong final four alliance!
Pete – I’m happy that our alliance is official!
Matty nods.
Confessional Matty – 
Me, Angelia and Pete agreed on final three and we’re just bringing in Shannon as a fourth! Cochran and Nina will be the floaters, Parvati & Lindsey will be the first goners, unless of course they prove themselves over the others.

Shannon – I’m really pumped about this alliance.
We could see Shannon happy.
Confessional Shannon –
A miracle happened. Angelia approached all of us and offered the idea of an alliance that would get us through this stage of the game and keep us safe until a swap or a merge.

Angelia – The other four won’t even suspect a thing!
Matty – We need to come up with a name for our alliance though!
Pete – Our name should either be something that reflects how attractive all of us are or how strong we are since we’re the top four of the group in both categories.
Shannon – The SPAM alliance, our first initials, the Alpha alliance because we are the superior members of Tarawa or the Klig Alliance, since we’ve formed a “clique”?
Angelia – I love these! I love SPAM because it’s cute! The Alpha alliance fits us so well; it’s up to you boys.
Matty – Oh my god! I love SPAM so much. Let’s go with SPAM! Spamming our way to the end!
Pete – I like SPAM too!
We could see Angelia putting her hand in the middle.
Confessional Angelia – 
It’s amazing to get the alliance even more official with a name for solidarity.

Pete also put in his hand in the middle.
Confessional Pete – 
Shannon, me, Angelia, and Matty named our alliance SPAM to represent the first letter in all of our first names. This is the alliance that's controlling the tribe right now.
Shannon, me, Angelia, and Matty named our alliance SPAM to represent the first letter in all of our first names. This is the alliance that's controlling the tribe right now.
We could also see Matty doing it.
Confessional Matty –
THE SPAM ALLIANCE, such a cool name huh? I love those three and I’ll be loyal top them one hundred percent. Well unless being loyal means I’m being screwed over, then I’ll just stab them in the front. Cowards stab in the back, but I stab in the front.

To end the scene of Tarawa, we could see them four joining their hands to conclude their alliance.
NONOUTI, DAY 4
We could see Tom coming back with the tree-mail for his tribe and read it to everyone:
Tom (reading) – At the end of the afternoon, a plane will fly above your camp. Your objective is to make the most effective distress signal. Specialists will determine which tribe had the most effective signal. Winning tribe will get fishing gears.
Elyse – Does anyone have any idea?
Na’Onka – Our SOS writing on the beach can be done with branches, sticks, logs…
Dave – I like the idea of fire and sticks!
Gina – I will add an arrow made out of mud.
Dave - A forest fire to make the helicopter see us?
Na’Onka makes a face as she just sees Elyse coming back with two torches and planting them around on the beach.
Elyse – I used a couple of our torches to make it easier to see.
Na’Onka was helping Dave digging a small SOS in the sand.
Confessional Na'Onka –
The reward challenge has us making S.O.S signals on the beach for planes to see. And let me just tell ya’ll right now, ours suck. It SUCKS ass. These people don’t have a creative bone in their body. F*cking Gina just drew a crappy arrow in the mud and people are just throwing random shit out into the sand. But I ain’t going to say that out loud…

Elyse just planted a torch on top of Gina’s mud arrow.
Elyse – OH Crap! I messed up Gina’s arrow let me fix it.
Elyse laughs and tries to replace the mud of the arrow and we could see a last time Na’Onka looking at them working before we get to change camp.
TARAWA, DAY 4
We could see Nina who was reading the instructions of the challenge to her tribe.
Nina - Your objective is to make the most effective distress signal. Specialists will determine which tribe had the most effective signal. Winning tribe will get fishing gears.
Matty looked at his tribe mates.
Matty – Any ideas you guys have in mind?
Before they get to work, the tribe turned into a group meeting trying to find ideas for their distress signal.
Cochran – I think we should make sure we add in SOS as well as three small fires on each side of the SOS. It should look roughly when we’re done.
Shannon – That’s a rough good idea, Cochran.
Parvati – I like that one a lot. Also maybe rocks for the border of letters?
Angelia – The rock border is a good, Parv!
Their brainstorm seemed to be over when we could see them getting to work: Matty was collecting rocks on the beach, Cochran was starting fires, and Shannon just dropped a wooden log on the beach.
NONOUTI, DAY 4
We could see a plane flying above Kiribati, but it was not above Nonouti camp yet. Jeff was sitting next to an expert in signals of distress.
Jeff Probst – We have an experienced rescue pilot. We will fly above both camp and they will determine which signal of distress would be most clearly visible from the air in a rescue situation! The winning tribe will receive a crate…
We could see a crate full of fishing gears.
Jeff Probst – Filled with fishing gears!
We could see the plane flying in direction of Nonouti camp and all tribe mates could hear the plane coming and immediately ran towards their signal of distress and started screaming.
Elyse – WE SACRIFICED NELEH TO THE ISLAND GODS FOR FOOD!
Tom - IT DIDN’T WORK!
Dave – HELP!
Elyse laughs.
Elyse – That’s funny!
Jeff Probst – This is Nonouti’s, what’s your thought on that?
We have a bit of difficulty hearing the specialist as he is talking in a low quality microphone.
Specialist – Well we can tell they look in trouble, but I think their signal of distress is a bit small and hard to see if it wasn’t for all of them screaming and running around. We can even see one of them running to the water. I think I would hesitate whether or not I would land on this island.
Jeff Probst – Let’s take a look at Tarawa!
We could see the plane continuing to fly above the island until it arrives to Tarawa.
TARAWA, DAY 4
We could see the tribe screaming at the plane.
Parvati – HELP!
We could see the S.O.S. signal from the air.
Jeff was in the copter with the specialist.
Jeff Probst – So… this is Tarawa, what is your thought on that?
We could hear again the specialist speaking in his low quality microphone.
Specialist – I think their signal is very visible from the air. There is no doubt that they need assistance and I would have no hesitation to land.
Jeff Probst – So which one is the most efficient?
Specialist – This one, for sure.
Jeff Probst – Alright, so with the help of a specialist in rescues, we have determined that Tarawa wins their reward.
The copter turned around and flied above their camp again, and we could see Jeff pushing a crate off the copter. We could see it fall down the ground. It said “reward” on it. The Tarawa tribe members were cheering and were all around their crate. Shannon was using the machete to open it. Once opened, we could see the different fishing gears in it. Angelia had already picked the snorkel, all excited.
Confessional Angelia –
Winning reward was just the icing on top of the cake! It’ll make fishing a lot more easier. Everyone did their part except for Lindsey.

We could see Lindsey walking to the shelter.
Confessional Angelia –
Are we surprised?
Are we surprised?
Angelia rolls her eyes.
Confessional Angelia –
Not at all. There’s no way she’ll live to see another round if we lose the immunity challenge. She’s done the bare, bare minimum and everyone else has at least done something for the tribe. Lindsey deserves to go.

We could see the entire tribe being excited to look at all their fishing gears while Lindsey was laying in the shelter, with her head on her palm. Nina just walked back to shelter to put down her canteen somewhere and just looked at her quickly before leaving her alone again.
Confessional Nina – 
Lindsey, that girl just lies by the shelter all day long. I am surprised production hasn’t come check her pulse yet. Personally, I think she is dead.

We could see Matty and Shannon pulling the crate away from the beach followed by the sun, used as a transition between this camp and the other one.
NONOUTI, DAY 5
We could see the tribe waiting on the beach for a copter. They seem to have waited all morning long, and they now look like they understood they lost. Elyse just marked the fifth day on the tree. Dave and Tom crossed their arms when suddenly, a hard rain just started. The rest of the tribe walked away. They were slowly talking, with pauses between their responses.
Tom – I really hope that we can stay unified.
Dave – Gain a lead.
Tom – Oh yeah, there will prob. be a switch…
Dave – Yeah, prolly. So it’s best to gain a lead early on.
Tom – I hope so! If we could have a Nonouti alliance that could get to the final six, I could work with that.
Dave – Same. It would be good, active strong group.
Confessional Dave – 
I feel like he is someone I can trust in this game, and I think I'm going to stick by him the next time we hit tribal council. I have a feeling most of these people are already teaming up and I'm happy to have Tom with me as a friend, to watch my back.

Tom nods.
Confessional Tom –
The one important thing I got out of that conversation is that he really wants allies, so he’ll be easy to persuade to vote a certain way. Only problem is that Gina works her ass off in challenges so there’s no way she’s going before Dave, she’s extremely sweet and helpful.

We could see Gina adding a wooden stick to the fire at camp while he was talking about her.
Confessional Tom –
I ADORE Dave. He has such an energy and I feel like I click with him. Unfortunately, he’s slated next to go, so we HAVE to win, because I’m not really ready to put my neck out on the line to save him.

We could see Dave again but this time he left Tom alone until Na’Onka comes to him.
Na’Onka – We lost…
Tom – Yeah, I’m sad.
Na’Onka – Me too, that’s lame…
A little moment of silence as the rain continues to wet both of them.
Na’Onka – They can have reward, we’ll just take immunity!
Tom makes a sarcastic face.
Tom – Yeah, they can get that.
Tom was staring at the horizon and spoke after a few seconds of silence.
Tom – We’re gonna go far in this game, I know it.
Na’Onka – I know! I’m happy that we got that alliance, but am happy that you were in it too, I feel like we’ve gotten closer each day.
Tom – Me too. I trust you the most right now.
Na’Onka stared at him in the eyes and nodded.
Na’Onka – I trust you the most too.
Confessional Na'Onka –
Tom and I are bonding more in this game day after day. But there was one thing that Tom said. “You know… I trust you the most in our alliance!” That right there raises some flags to me. Everybody always say that when they’re just lying through their dayum teeth. But that’s iight, I’ll play along. I like Tom, I do, but I don’t completely trust the boo.

We could see droplets falling into a puddle of the beach before changing camp.
TARAWA, DAY 5
We could see Nina reading the tree-mail as the entire tribe was listening to her around the shelter.
Nina – “Two opponents, one floating safety. Drag those to your side and you will prevent your own drowning in the game.”
Cochran – We is prepared bitches. So we sitting out Parv or Lindsey?
Nina – Lindsey?
Everyone looks at Lindsey who was sitting in the shelter, not really into the conversation at all.
Nina – Otherwise we would have to sit her out for the reward since you can’t do back to back challenges.
Cochran – Yeah
Pete – Sounds good.
Everyone just looks at Lindsey again as they start gathering their bags for the challenge.
CHALLENGE FIELD
We could see the settlement of the challenge in the water. There were a yellow platform and a purple platform side by side, with each a pole in front of the platform. A lot further, there were safety rings underwater and a lever near the platforms. Nearby that lever, Jeff was waiting on the tribes to come.
Jeff Probst – Come on in guys!
We could see Tarawa arriving first and while they were putting their things on the ground or on the mat, Nonouti was arriving from the other side.
Jeff Probst – Tarawa, take a look at the new Nonouti tribe… Neleh voted out last tribal council!
No one appeared shocked and Jeff walked towards Matty who had the immunity.
Jeff Probst – I’ll take it back…
Jeff put it to where it goes.
Jeff Probst – Immunity… is back up for grabs!
Everyone smiles.
Jeff Probst – For today’s challenge, it’s going to be physical. You will be matched one against one. When I pull this lever…
We could see a hand pulling the lever.
Jeff Probst – A safety ring will resurface.
We could see a safety ring resurface meters away from the platforms.
Jeff Probst – On my go, two opponents will swim to that ring…
We could see someone swimming as fast as they could to reach that ring.
Jeff Probst – This is where it gets physical…
We could see two people battling it out for the ring.
Jeff Probst – Because whoever touches their ring and their tribe’s pole at the same time…
We could see someone reaching their pole with their floating ring.
Jeff Probst – Scores for their tribe! First tribe to seven wins immunity! Losing tribe… one more person going home…
We could see people nodding.
Jeff Probst – Makes sense?
People nod again.
Jeff Probst – Tarawa, you must sit out one female, who’s it gonna be?
Cochran – Tarawa is sitting out Lindsey.
Everyone points at Lindsey and she moves away from the mat.
Jeff Probst – Alright. We’ll draw for matches and we’ll get started!
The time seems to have passed and a first match was ready to go.
Jeff Probst – First match up… Dave, taking on… Cochran!
Dave and Cochran were ready to go.
Jeff Probst – Survivors ready!? GO!
Jeff pulled the lever, a safety ring resurfaced, and both of them ran to the water and started swimming towards that ring.
Jeff Probst – Two people… one ring!
As Jeff said that, Dave already reached the ring first with Cochran a long way behind. Now that he had to make his way back to the platform, Cochran stopped swimming and tried to let him come.
Tom – You can do it Dave!
Na’Onka – GO BOO!
Angelia – Go Cochran!
When Dave arrived near Cochran, the latter one missed him and Dave could easily swim back to the platform.
Jeff Probst – Dave scores! Nonouti ONE, Tarawa ZIP!
When Cochran and Dave were back to their tribe, Jeff called the next match up.
Jeff Probst – Next match up… Na’Onka…
We could see Na’Onka leaving her mat.
Jeff Probst – taking on… Angelia!
Angelia placed herself next to Na’Onka.
Jeff Probst – Survivors Ready!? GO!
Jeff pulled the lever and the two girls jumped in the water, swimming towards that ring the fastest they could. Angelia grabbed the ring first but Na’Onka was right back her and tried to pull on it. Angelia was trying to have it back, but eventually Na’Onka found the way to push Angelia away… swimming away with the ring … until she reaches her pole!
Jeff Probst – Na’Onka scores! Nonouti TWO, Tarawa ZIP!
Angelia sighs and climbs back on her platform as Jeff was announcing the next match-up.
Jeff Probst – Next match up… Frosti will be taking on… Shannon!
Both of them moved one step, getting ready for the duel.
Jeff Probst – SURVIVORS READY? GO!
Both of them jumped in the water, and Frosti was twice faster than Shannon to reach that ring.
Nina – Damn, that Frosti is one fast motherf***er!
Shannon stopped swimming and was waiting on Frosti to come back so he would stop him from getting to his pole. Frosti swam back slowly… for just a moment, when he swam around Shannon without any problem. Shannon failed catching him and Frosti reached his pole.
Shannon – wow.
Jeff Probst – Nonouti scores AGAIN! THREE to NOTHING!
Frosti was climbing back on his platform, with the help of Dave.
Dave – Nice job.
Jeff Probst – Next two… are Gina… against Parvati!
They both get ready to go.
Jeff Probst – GO!
They jumped carefully in the water and were slowly going to the ring… probably to watch each other off… They finally arrived where Parvati grabbed it first. Gina hanged herself onto it while Parvati was slowly dragging Gina with it. Later on, it turned around when the ring slipped off Parvati’s arms and Gina swam away with it to reach her pole.
Jeff Probst – Gina scores! Nonouti… FOUR! Tarawa… ZIP!
Tarawa starts feeling worried to lose and it can be seen through their facial expressions. Parvati climbs back on her platform, so does Gina.
Jeff Probst – Nina will be going up against… Elyse from Nonouti!
Cochran encourages Nina.
Cochran – You got this.
Na’Onka – GO ELYSE GURL!
Elyse places herself ready to go and Jeff pulled the lever letting the ring resurface.
Jeff Probst – GO!
Both splashed in the water, trying to reach the ring as quick as possible. They arrived at same time but Nina grabbed it first and swam away… while Elyse couldn’t catch her up on the swimming. Nina reached her tribe’s pole.
Jeff Probst – TARAWA scores! Nonouti… FOUR! Tarawa… ONE!
Angelia – WOO!
Proud of her scoring, Nina joined her tribe and Jeff announced the next two.
Jeff Probst – Matty will be going up against… Shawn! Survivors Ready!?
Both seemed ready to go.
Jeff Probst – GO!
They both jumped in the water and Matty grabbed the ring first. Shawn tried to hang onto it but he slipped off when Matty gave himself a kick, swimming back to his pole faster than Shawn.
Jeff Probst – TARAWA SCORES AGAIN! FOUR to TWO!
Tarawa is all celebrating again and Nonouti is starting to take this more seriously when they were no longer smiling. Jeff pointed at Pete.
Jeff Probst – Pete will take on Tom!
Pete and Tom walked a pace ahead, ready to go.
Jeff Probst – Survivors Ready!? GO!
After Jeff pulled the lever, Tom jumped first in the water, followed right by Pete. Being younger and more fit, Pete arrived first to the ring and grabbed it, but Tom was waiting him on his way back. Pete tried to dodge but that did not work when Tom grabbed his arm and pulled his way. It was a long battle of pulling, that was finally won by Tom who touched his pole.
Jeff Probst – Tom scores for Nonouti! FIVE… TWO!
Na’Onka – HELL YES!
Tom was screaming while climbing back on the platform.
Tom – WE’RE GOING TO GET THIS!
When Nonouti finished screaming, Jeff announced the next two.
Jeff Probst – Na’Onka… versus Nina!
Jeff was about to pull the lever.
Jeff Probst – Survivors Ready!? GO!
Both Nina and Na’Onka were swimming to the ring and Na’Onka grabbed it first, followed by Nina who had the time to put her hands onto it as well. Na’Onka put the ring around her body and was swimming back to her pole, while dragging Nina behind her. Mid-way back to the pole, Nina switched tactics and tried to take it off Na’Onka’s body, but that did not work as she got pushed away and Na’Onka touched the pole.
Jeff Probst – Nonouti scores! SIX… TWO!
Nina – fuck.
Nina slaps the water and climbs back on her platform.
Jeff Probst – If Nonouti scores again, they will win immunity… It will be Frosti… against Cochran! Playing for immunity…
We could see Cochran and Frosti ready to go.
Matty – GOOO COCHRAN!
Dave – GET IT FROSTI.
Jeff Probst – Survivors Ready!?
Jeff pulls the lever.
Jeff Probst – GO!
Frosti swam to the ring a lot faster and Cochran was trying to catch him on his return. He succeeded grabbing Frosti’s arm but that wasn’t enough to stop him. Frosti gave him a kick and continued without problem until he touches the pole.
Jeff Probst – Nonouti wins Immunity!
All Nonouti members started screaming, and Dave was the loudest.
Dave - DAMN FUCKING RIGHT. GET THE FUCK OFF THE BEACH COCHRAN! WOOOOOT. WE WON! YAY
Cochran looked down at water, before joining his tribe.
Cochran – crap.
Jeff walked up to Frosti and handed him the immunity idol.
Jeff Probst – Tonight, nobody going home!
Now Jeff looks at Tarawa.
Jeff Probst – Tarawa, I can’t say the same thing, one of you is going home, see you at tribal council tomorrow night!
We could see them, like Cochran, making sad faces as they were walking away with their flag and bags.
NONOUTI, DAY 5
The tribe was walking back from the challenge at camp and Frosti just put the immunity idol in the shelter.
Tom – Great job everyone! We did great!
Na’Onka – WOOO! We did it!
The tribe started hugging at camp.
Tom – You’re the man, Frosti!
Confessional Tom –
That wasn’t even close. Our tribe got a morale boost that we really needed. I didn’t have to make any decisions regarding what to do. It’s too early for backstabs… although, in retrospect, I probably shouldn't have offered an alliance to everyone but Neleh.

The tribe started splitting already, and Dave was still celebrating victory, but alone with Gina this time.
Dave - MUTHFUKKAS LOST THAT SHIT
Gina – Yesssssssssssssss!
Na’Onka was seeing them from far away and just took a bite of fish.
Confessional Na'Onka –
Morale is increasing and we’re in a good place now. We just need to keep this going and we can get out of this dark ass hole we’ve been living in.

A wave just hit shore.
TARAWA, DAY 5
A turtle was slowing moving on the sand of the shore and a wave hits it, but it doesn’t budge. The tribe had arrived at camp.
Cochran – Damn it!
Angelia – Good try guys!
Matty – At least we tried you guys… PLUS, WE WON 3 CHALLENGES IN A ROW.
As soon as Lindsey walked away from the group, people started talking about her.
Nina – At least we have Lindsey.
Cochran – Yep, easy boot.
Matty – We can come back stronger without Lindsey.
Pete – We’ll be a much stronger tribe without her.
Lindsey was sitting on the beach alone and Nina was staring at her.
Confessional Nina –
I am just glad Lindsey is around because that means things are going to be really easy for us as a tribe. Though watch it happen, she is going to get med evac’d before Tribal Council and then we have to vote someone else out. If that is the case, things would get slightly intense but I feel like then Parvati would be going home.

Angelia and Shannon were at the water well, filling their bucket with fresh water.
Shannon – Lindsey, it is?
Angelia – For sure. She needs to go. We could only drag her along so long. She needs to be cut loose. She’s dragging us down.
Shannon – Yeah. Asta lavista to her. Won’t be missed as far as I’m concerned. So SPAM is on board?
Angelia – Yep! Lindsey is 100% gone. I don’t see it changing at all.
Shannon – Sweet deal.
They brought back the bucket together and left it near the campfire, where we could hear Nina telling the tribe to get coconuts.
Nina – Go get a coconut!
The sun went down, and it was now the night.
TARAWA, NIGHT 5
It was night and all we could hear was the light wind moving the leaves of the palmers. However, people were starting to wake up, bothered by Lindsey’s constant whining. They just kept hearing whining sounds coming from her, and when they looked closer, they realized she was actually stumbling around weirdly.
Nina - I'm surprised she even moves enough to stumble, I thought she was dead.
Cochran seems to react the most.
Cochran – Call a medical team!
The guys ran away to get go get one, except for Shanon.
Confessional Shannon –
Lindsey started jumbling about it and woke us all up. At first, I thought she was just being annoying like she usually is, inconsiderate of everyone else, and doing whatever the hell she wants.

Later on, a medical team was on their way at camp. Even though they were trying to keep her from moving and hurting herself, she found some way to hurt her head on things around her, and it looked serious.
Everyone left the medical team do their job and they analyzed her situation. Jeff eventually arrived, waiting on their call. Angelia was watching in shock and seems freaked out.
Confessional Angelia –
The second I saw the medic’s come out from the forest, I knew she was gone. And as awful as it sounds, the next thought that crossed my mind wasn’t about her well being, it was about whether we’d still have to attend Tribal Council or not.

Shannon turned around and looked at some tribe mates, whispering mean things.
Shannon - No offense but I hope she gets medivacuated. She doesn't deserve to be here.
Some of them agreed with a nodding, and we could see Nina pacing back and forth waiting for the doctor’s call.
Doctor – She is having severe epilepsy right now!
Matty – She’s prolly dead by now.
Nobody seems to take this situation seriously, and the doctor finally looked at Jeff.
Doctor – I think we will have to pull her out of the game. Her situation is way too critical to continue on with the game, she could really harm her brain permanently if it continues like this.
Jeff looks at the tribe, and Nina reacts.
Nina – Are we supposed to pretend we are sad or…?
Jeff Probst – So because of her medical situation, she will be unable to continue. You will still have to meet me at tribal council tomorrow night.
Shannon has a reaction.
Confessional Shannon –
It turns out the chick was having an epilepsy. She started going crazy and the medic team was rushed out. The real question is… since she was taken out of the game, why the hell are we going to Tribal Council?

The tribe was waving goodbyes to her as they were pulling her out in a special boat.
Cochran – If we have to vote out someone else… that’s going to be REALLY fucked up.
Confessional Cochran – 
So Lindsey just got evacuated from the game. Thank god. Though we still have the trek to Tribal Council. However, I’m hoping we don’t have to vote anyone out.

Angelia – Tribal Council is always canceled if this happens.
Nina – So then are we going to be two down despite winning three challenges?
Cochran – Not necessarily. It just said “Still have to go to Tribal Council” not “Vote out someone”.
Pete – Oh, that’s a really good point.
Cochran – We might get there and he cancels it.
Angelia nodded, and the clouds moved at a faster pace in front of the moon… to finally let the sun arise.
TARAWA, DAY 6
It was morning and we could see Pete snapping wood with his machete near the campfire, while looking around himself sometimes. Nina and Angelia were sitting on the beach, talking.
Nina – Where is your mind at?
Angelia – It’s been Lindsay or Parvati for me. I feel like they did the least so far.
Nina – That’s what I was thinking too. Parvati always has excuses for absolutely everything.
Angelia – I know. I appreciate that she comes help at camp, but that’s ALL she does.
Nina – I’m glad we agree, I mean Tribal Council might get canceled but I think if we do go to tribal we need to vote her out.
We could see Parvati moving around with food in her hands while they were talking about her.
Angelia – Yes, a plan just in case. I’ll be poking around to see what they say too. I don’t see why everyone wouldn’t be on the same page.
Nina nodded, and walked away to join Pete at camp, leaving Angelia alone on the beach.
Confessional Angelia –
Nina had started talking to me for the first time today, trying to get a name figure out herself. So annoying. I wanted to just, like, put my hand in her face and walk away. I told her what she wanted to hear … and it’s all subject to change if need be.

Nina was sitting right next to Pete, not speak too loud.
Nina – Looks like we won’t get a freebie.
Pete – Hopefully Cochran’s right.
Nina – I hope so, if not… are we voting out Parvati?
Pete – I think that’s fair.
Nina –Yeah, I agree. She always seems to have an excuse too.
Pete – I think Cochran makes sense that we won’t have to vote. We wouldn’t go down two numbers for losing just one thing. But if we do, it should be her. It’s probably an easy decision that we all agree on.
Confessional Pete –
It was pretty obvious we were going to vote out Lindsey. However, something surprising happened. Lindsey got evacuated from the game. With her being gone, it’s pretty much the same as it was when she was here. The problem now is that we don’t have an easy vote.

Parvati just came back with her fruits and just gave a coconut to Cochran.
Confessional Parvati – 
I thought I would have Lindsey as a safety net but bitch had to go and have a seizure or some shit and now she's out. We have tribal council... I feel fairly confident that I will be voted out.

Parvati – So, you can be honest with me, I’m guessing since Lindsey is out now I’m probably going to be the vote tonight.
Cochran – Well, I’m honestly not sure… I mean hardly anyone even talks at all.
Parvati – I wondered if it was just me.
Cochran – At least you’ve contributed to the tribe work.
Parvati – Well, I don’t know if you have any deals with anyone yet, but I’m willing to team up for sure.
Cochran – Oh deffo! I’m completely alone right now as well.
As soon as Parvati finished talking with Cochran, she was up to Angelia now.
Angelia – Better just be a small discussion, not voting anyone out. I’ll be so mad at Jeff.
Parvati – I hope so too. I feel like I may be in danger.
Angelia – You’ve done A LOT of camp work though. More than most of the others.
Parvati – Well, whatever may happen, I want you to know you’re easily my favorite person on the tribe so far, and you’re nowhere on my radar.
Angelia - Thank you, Parv! You made a great impression.
Parvati – Hopefully I get to stay.
A crab was walking on the beach right before Angelia, Pete and Matty were secretly talking in the forest.
Confessional Angelia –
I pulled aside Pete and Matty. My goal in pulling them aside was to try and get a name figured out if we have to vote out someone, that way we’re not thrown a shock vote and are unprepared. I don’t want our votes to be scattered and all over the place. I want us all to be united on the vote.

Angelia – So this is just a quick session. If we end up having to to vote out someone, which we might not have to, who are we thinking?
Pete – Nina brought up Parvati is an option since she always makes excuses. I’m okay with it.
Matty – Ya, we can’t depend on Parvati challenge wise, though I feel like she can be trusted, unlike Nina.
Angelia – I can’t stand Nina.
We could see Nina innocently adding sticks to the campfire.
Angelia – But Nina does more for the tribe in challenges than Parvati. So I don’t know.
Matty – I really can’t stand that woman.
Confessional Angelia –
The two names that were up for deliberation were Parvati and Nina, as expected. Parvati for her lack of help in challenges and Nina, for her crappy, overbearing personality.

Angelia – I think the smarter decision is Parvati.
Pete – I’d be fine with voting Nina, but it depends on if we want to make a big move now or do something easy to satisfy everyone?
Angelia – I just hate Nina. I think we should just do Parvati for now.
Pete – Cochran and Nina both can’t make conversation at all.
Matty – Nina, she was so bossy TODAY.
Angelia giggles.
Angelia – ANGELIA, DID YOU BLOW ON THE FIRE? ANGELIA, DID YOU GATHER THE WOOD? God.
Pete laughs.
Confessional Pete –
Angelia, Matty and I all like Parvati. We’re thinking about dragging her along as a fifth. Matty really dislikes Nina, and Angelia doesn’t talk to her. I don’t have any problems with her, but her long-term presence in terms of trust does concern me a little. So if we have to vote this round, I actually think it will be Nina leaving over Parvati.

The rain was starting to pour on the island, as the tribe were starting to grab their bags. Shannon was picking his up.
Confessional Shannon –
If my alliance comes up with a name, they’ll relay it to me. I think that it should be Parvati if my say goes. Parvati always makes an excuse as to why she can’t compete her best. It’s one excuse after another. How many more does she have? I think they’re never-ending. It’s annoying as hell.

The tribe was now walking in one straight line, and Parvati was somewhere in the middle of it.
Confessional Parvati –
We’ll see what happens but on a scale of one to ten, one being nervous and ten being confident, I’m at about a five for tomorrow’s tribal.

TRIBAL COUNCIL
The sun settled down, leaving place to a dark sky and a hard rain. We could see the tribe walking in one straight line in direction of the middle of the tribal council installment, where there was a fire. We could see the rain splashing in the water under and around their bridge. Jeff was waiting for them to arrive.
Jeff Probst – Behind each of you is a torch, go ahead and grab a torch and approach a flame. Dip it in, and get fire!
We could see Angelia dipping her torch in fire, and Shannon grabbing a torch.
Jeff Probst - This is part of the ritual of tribal council, because in this game, fire represents your life. When your fire’s gone, so are you.
Cochran just placed his torch on a hole.
Jeff Probst – Get fire and take a seat.
Angelia just sat down, and Jeff was ready to start tribal.
Jeff Probst – ANGELIA, so you guys lost your first challenge, how does it feels?
Angelia – It feels awful. But I feel like we could only carry the dead weight as long as we could. The dead weight being Lindsey. Sooner or later, she was going to cost us a victory.
Jeff Probst – And now that you are coming to tribal council, what’s happening?
We could see Parvati’s face completely wet by the rain.
Angelia – Well, I’m for one concerned. If we have to vote someone after Lindsey just got removed from the game, that puts us at a really big disadvantage.
Jeff Probst – Do you think this group would all stick together down the merge?
Angelia – I think so! I think we’re all a pretty great group and we work well together in challenges. I don’t see why we wouldn’t stick together if and when we have to face that scenario.
Jeff Probst – COCHRAN, what role do you think you play for this tribe? Why would people keep you around over the others?
Cochran – I provide great mental strategy for the challenges and I do help out around camp as best as I can. I think to vote me out would be very stupid. Just saying.
Jeff Probst – Now that Lindsey Is out of the game, how does that affect the game?
Cochran – She was someone that was dragging us down a bit… but after tonight, whether we have to vote someone out or not… we’ll come back stronger.
Jeff Probst – What is the consensus, do you guys think you will have to vote somebody out or not?
Cochran – We’re prepared to, but we’re hoping we don’t have to, since that would put us down one instead of being even with the other tribe.
Jeff Probst – PETE, does everyone get along with each other in the tribe?
We could see Nina wiping away water from her face.
Pete – I think everyone gets along well. It’s a little quiet sometimes, but there haven’t been any issues around camp between anyone.
Jeff Probst – NINA, as far as camp work, how has it been doing since you’ve arrived on the island?
Nina – I think for the most part, everyone helps, as usual there are going to be some people that help more than others, but everyone left at this point at least try.
Jeff Probst – Who does more and who does less?
Nina – Way to put me on the spot, Jeffrey…
Jeff grins and stares at Nina for a moment, and Cochran cuts the silence, raising his finger.
Cochran – I’ll be honest right now… I know I don’t do alot, but that’s because others like Nina, Matty and Pete have all done it!
Nina looks at him, and then looks back at Jeff.
Nina – I think Pete and Angelia do a lot more than everyone else, for example, they are the ones who I have seen go through with most of the task and they take care of the fire all the time. But like Cochran says, a lot of the time some people like himself don’t get to do as much because the rest of us have done all the tasks for the day.
Shannon – It’s whoever gets to it first, yeah.
Jeff Probst – PETE, is there any leader on this tribe?
Pete – No, I don’t think there are any leader. Everyone does their own thing with their schedule around camp. During the challenge, we’ll all try to work together and help with whoever’s turn it is. I would say the person who would most likely be the leader would be Nina.
Nina gasps.
Jeff Probst – Would everyone agree with that?
Parvati – I would have said either Nina or Cochran, just for how he started out with us in the reward challenge.
Jeff Probst – Nina, how does it feels to be labeled as a potential leader?
Shannon – Nina’s a good broad, and I can see her as the glue of Tarawa.
We could see Angelia smiling, and Nina smiling as well.
Nina – I feel honored that I could be considered for such a position, as the oldest broad here, I have to admit I was somewhat worried I would stick out like a sore thumb. So hearing that I could be seen as a leader is both surprising and humbling.
Jeff Prost – PARVATI, how much do you feel safe tonight?
Parvati – Well, I personally don’t feel very safe at all.
Jeff Probst – How connected are you to your tribe mates?
Parvati – I’ve had a few chats with most people, but not a whole lot. Simply put, we’re in the middle of tribal council and no one has approached me with any ideas on who to vote for, so I think that probably says the most.
Jeff Probst – SHANNON, do you believe she has a reason to worry?
Parvati looks at him.
Shannon – Sure. But this is Survivor. You should always be worried unless you have Immunity.
Jeff Probst – And unfortunately, that’s what you lost… Immunity! So now… it is… time to end this tribal council.
Everyone seems to be carefully listening to Jeff.
Jeff Probst – Lindsey has been pulled out of the game for medical reasons. So there is no reason for you guys to get rid of another one, that was enough. Hopefully, I don’t see you here again next time.
Pete – Phew.
Cochran – Thank god.
Parvati seems to feel relieved.
Jeff Probst – Grab tor…
Shannon interrupts Jeff.
Shannon – So did Lindsey die, Jeff?
Jeff Probst – She survived, with a couple of blues in the face though. Grab torches, head back to camp!
Everyone stood up, and started getting their torches, to walk away from tribal council.
CLOSING
Since there were no votes, we could just see some moments of Lindsey’s game :
Moments of Lindsey – 
She was on the mat at the very start of the game… She was swimming, then sitting on the beach, and finally she was having an epilepsy attack during the night at camp, with the medical team pulling her out of there.
