Day 4

Episode 2: Alliances Anonymous?

Day 4

The Grapefruit tribe awoke, tired from last nights Tribal Council.

“How did you guys do it?” Vedran asked Cori and Dylan about their show of intelligence in voting off Mitchell.

“Well, we got together right before we left for tribal to try and solve this conflict, when we both realized that Mitchell had said something each of us,” Cori explained

“This is when we realized that our stories didn’t match up and that Mitchell was playing us like a fool. We knew he would be arrogant enough to vote for himself, so we pitched in and helped him out a bit,” Dylan finished.

As this was being explained, Josh, Vedran, and Michaela did not realize how foolish they had been to fall for Mitchell’s ploy. It was obvious to Michaela that Cori had dishonoured their alliance, and that she was alone. She was smart enough to realize what Mitchell knew, that at this point of the game, true alliances didn’t matter. You just needed majority. She would do what Mitchell couldn’t. She would undermine all others, no matter what it took.


The Banana tribe woke up next to their half of the immunity idol. Since they came in first during that challenge, they each received a bonus shower token.

This tribe was a tribe divided. There were two sides to this tribe. Ingrid, Elizabeth, and Ryan; and Cody, Steven, and Daniel. There was no budging either side, so if they went to Tribal Council, it would end up in ties

“We all swear on our nose, toes, and land ownership not to vote for one another and vote united?” Ingrid asked as the others agreed.

“Okay you guys have to promise to stick with me and vote where I vote or else it won’t work,” Steven and Daniel understood.

Daniel felt good that he had found an alliance, and that his alliance trusted him with his vote. Daniel would do whatever he had to, to make it to the final four, even if it meant destroying alliances.


As the Banana tribe were a tribe divided, the Muffin tribe was the tribe united. They did everything together, with the exception of one.

The tribe was sitting around the centre of the store, with Mike in the corner, as Jeff yelled with a smile,

“Hey Mike! We don’t hate you! Get over here and join the fun!”

Katie was happy that they were united so, but she knew that it wouldn’t, that it couldn’t, last for very long. She needed an alliance to keep herself safe, but with someone who it wouldn’t be expected. She needed a secret alliance, but with who? She didn’t have a chance to find out, as she heard Sean call “Mall Mail!”

“Arrive at challenge centre today, for your first reward, and it’s sure to pay. Food, Water, Shower what will it be? Working together as a team is the key.”

“I also found this box,” Sean replied.

It was a crate-like box, with three locks on it. Each lock has a swipe hole, for a credit card. At least that is what it looked like it was for.


“I wonder what is in it?” Josh asked from the Grapefruit tribe.

“I guess we will just have to find out,” Vedran answered.


“Welcome Survivors, to your first ever reward challenge,” Andrew said as the MTV’s pulled in.

“Take a good look at the Grapefruit tribe, minus one Mitchell,” Britteny said as the Grapefruit tribe got off the MTV

“Reward challenges are very important in the game of survivor. Reward challenges make or break how you live at your camp. If you win the challenges, you can live like Kings, if you lose, you will struggle to survive. Ready to hear your challenge?” Brittney asked

“You will each be given one credit card, you then must swim to the other side of the pool where you will find five pieces of wood tied to the bottom by a lock. To unlock this, you must find the piece of wood that matches with your credit card. Once you have your piece of wood, you must put it on the rungs to make a staircase, each staircase leads to the same place. The first tribe to finish wins reward and a credit card to release one lock from their tribe’s mystery box. The second tribe to finish also receives a credit card to their mystery box. Want to know what you’re playing for?” Andrew explained as the tribes cheered.

“I’m sure you have figured out that within your restroom, things are far from running perfect. Your reward is having none other than the famous plumber, Mario, spend a day at your camp working on your bathroom.” Brittney applauded Mario, as did the others

“It’s a me! Mario! Coming to fix-a your toilets!” Mario said.

“Before we begin, Muffin and Banana each have to sit one person out. Remember, you can’t sit the same person out during consecutive challenges.” Andrew explained.

“Okay, Ingrid and Mike are sitting out first. Survivors ready? Go!” Andrew yelled as the swimming commenced.

Jeff, Steven, and Dylan started, as they were neck in neck swimming there. Jeff got his card on the first swipe as he was first back to the other side, with Steven and Dylan not too far behind.

“All three tribes have one, Muffin with a slight lead,” Andrew exclaimed.

Paul, Cori, and Ryan went out. Paul and Ryan were quick to get the plank on their second or third card swipe. But then disaster struck, Cori’s knee acted up and she was a sitting duck.

“I have to help her!” Dylan yelled, as he swam out to get Cori, they went together and got her plank, but by that time, Sean and Cody were already on their way out there. Josh had to hussle to make up for the time Cori lost as Andrew yelled,

Muffin and Banana have come back with their forth, Grapefruit coming back with their third. As Katie and Daniel swam in, Vedran was swimming out for the forth. Julia and Elizabeth were the last swimmers. Julia swam out there neck and neck with each other. Michaela not too far away, was going for her last one as well. All three swimmers pulled in at the same time but there was a noticeable difference between the muffin tribe and the others. The muffin tribe had built their staircase as they were going, unlike the other two tribes. This paid off, and as they put the last rung up they ran up the staircase to claim their plumber.

“Muffin Tribe wins immunity, Grapefruit and Banana tie and both receive a card for their mystery boxes” Brittney exclaimed.

“Go back to camp, and Muffin Tribe, enjoy the new spa Mario is putting in!”

“A SPA!” Katie yelled.

“Now I can finally get that manicure and facial!” Jeff squealed

“Err…right,” Julia was frightened.

“Everyone go back to camp and rest up, you all did a fine job at today’s challenge, and we’ll be waiting for you tommorow!” Andrew said as the MTV’s pulled out.
