Day 5

Episode 2: Alliances Anonymous?

Day 5

The Muffins awoke the next day to the wonderful sound of running water. Mario was a wonder worker and fixed the toilet and sink wonderfully as well as stocking them with toothpaste, toothbrushes and toilet paper. The shower no longer needed credits and they had a spa to their name. Things were looking good for the muffin tribe.

Katie was still nervous about her alliance making so she decided to get it out of the way. Who would the tribe least expect anyone to have an alliance with, and who was the first one to be voted out from their tribe? Mike. So Katie confronted Mike.

“Mike, I think it would be a good idea if we had an alliance, I mean who would expect it? If we lose tonight, we would be able to tie if we had to go to Tribal, I have Julia on my side and it wouldn’t be difficult to pick out anyone one of the three stooges over there,” Katie said as she looked towards Jeff, Sean and Paul.

“Sure.” Mike said while he was peeling the wrappers off of the muffins.

Jeff, Paul, and Sean were talking at the other side of the store,

“There are four of us guys, and only two girls. Why don’t we just pick them off one by one if we lose the challenge tonight?” Jeff asked.

“Is Mike trustable?” Sean wondered.

“I have talked to him,” Jeff was confident that Mike would vote with him.

Would this tribe become a battle of genders? How would Mike vote? Only time would tell.

Over at the Grapefruit Tribe, Michaela talked to Cori and Dylan about their alliances,

“This will be a hard proposal to refuse. If you two align yourselves with me, we will have majority and be able to lead our tribe in power.”

“Well, it is a proposal that we have no choice to take,” Cori and Dylan agreed as Michaela smiled.


Ingrid and Ryan were waiting impatiently for Elizabeth as she had gone to the bathroom.

“Where is she?” Ryan yelled impatiently

“Lets go find her!” Ingrid said.

So as Ingrid and Ryan walked through the store, they saw Elizabeth talking to Cody and his alliance. Curious to hear what they were discussing they hid out of site where they could “overhear” the conversation.

“Elizabeth, it only makes sense to break this stupid tie. Vote with us and we’ll get rid of Ingrid. She hasn’t done anything for this tribe and is a waste of Bananas,” Cody said convincingly.

“I agree, and you can count on my vote if we go to Tribal Council tomorrow,” Elizabeth stated as she heard a rustle coming and footsteps pacing. This noise was Ryan and Ingrid running and Ingrid choking on her tears.

“I’d better go,” Elizabeth said as she ran back to where Ingrid and Glyde were waiting.

Ingrid didn’t have time to respond to Elizabeth’s traitorous act because as always, Daniel yelled “Mall Mail!” it read,

“I hope your hungry because you’re going to eat, be prepared for a tasty treat. It’s not like anything you’ve eaten before, and a nice drink you will have to pour,” Daniel read.

“Oh, no! A food challenge,” Ingrid screamed having to participate in this no matter what.


“Welcome, Survivors to your gourmet feast!” Andrew said, “You will each have five people participating. You will then put these five people in order of how much their stomachs can handle. Let’s get ready,”

“Katie and Elizabeth sitting this one out. Tribes, get in your orders,”

“This is how it will work. Each tribe has five eaters, during each round of eating; the last one to finish will be eliminated. The first tribe to have all players eliminated loses immunity. Survivors ready? Eat!”

The first piece of food was a worm, just a simple earthworm. Paul got it down first, then Cori. Eliminating Ingrid. After two more worm rounds Dylan and Julia were eliminated. Next were Jeff, Michaela, and Cody. This would prove to be a good round as Michaela finished first and then Cody. Josh was first out during the last round.

The next round was to eat a piece of a Cow brain. Cori forfeit due to disgust, Sean lost to Steven, Vedran lost to Daniel, Cody lost to Michaela, and Mike lost to Ryan.

There are five of you. The rounds to follow are individual rounds. Michaela is the last from Grapefruit to survive and if she loses, the tribe goes with her.

The first round was blood balls. Daniel couldn’t finish them and was disqualified. Next were buffalo kidneys and Steven had fallen hard, throwing up into his bucket.

There were only three left, one from each tribe, Michaela, Paul and Ryan.

“The next round will be….” Andrew tried to build the suspense.

“Just hurry up already!” Brittney snapped, “The next food will be raw fish, also known as sushi,”

Michaela gulped she hated sushi, but tried her best to try and gulp it down, but she head Andrew say,

“Ryan finishes the Japanese delicacy easily,”
She looked over and saw Paul finish his sushi, much to her despair.

“Muffin, Banana wins immunity! Grapefruit, you’ll be seeing us at Tribal tomorrow.” Andrew said.

As the Grapefruit tribe headed back to camp, Michaela prayed her alliance would not fail, like she had done to the tribe.
