Day 8

Episode 3: Our Trio’s Down To Two.

Day 8

It was a whole new game now that the Grapefruit tribe was no more. The four people of the grapefruit tribe were now forced to make new alliances, new enemies, and new strategies. Things were even again; we were back to square one.

Jeff
Vedran
Paul
Sean
Mike
Katie
Julia
Dylan

Steven. H
Cori
Ryan
Cody
Daniel
Ingrid
Elizabeth
Michaela







The muffin tribe battle of genders was now greatly affected by this change, the muffin tribe now had two more boys than girls as Vedran and Dylan joined the tribe. At this Katie and Julia were wondering what they could do to even out the majority.

“Well we have Michael’s vote, so that makes it three to six. They have Dylan and Vedran, what are we going to do?”

Just as things looked their worst, they looked their best.

“Hello, I’m obviously new to this tribe, and it appears you have an alliance, I’ve already planned to be in an alliance with the guys over there, but Mike approached me and asked me to join the girls, I thought it would be a good idea, the guys aren’t exactly the fondest of me,” Dylan explained.

“Of course you can!” Julia said as Dylan walked away.

“See Katie, you have to trust people in this game, you can’t always expect to be able to do everything,” Julia said as she smiled.

Jeff was happy that he and his alliance finally received the majority that they had rightfully deserved.

“Now that we have Vedran and Dylan voting with us, we don’t need that traitor Mike, soon the shower will be mine. MINE!” Jeff laughed evilly.

“Don’t worry Dylan, we’ll protect you,” Sean looked at Dylan with a fake smile and Dylan knew he had made the right choice.


Things were just as strange over at the Banana tribe as three out of the four blondes were in the same tribe.

Michaela had been in total control of the Grapefruit tribe, now felt as if she was blindfolded and dropped out of a plane. She knew that Cori would stay loyal, but she needed five to have majority.

Elizabeth was also affected by this merge of sorts, as she had decided to side with Cody. She now realized that this was unwise and needed to get back her alliance with Ingrid. She needed to do this right.

“Hi Ingrid, I would just like to let you know that I decided not to join an alliance with Cody, Can you ever forgive me?”

“Sure Elizabeth, I can’t stay mad at you,” Elizabeth’s timing was perfect as just in that split second Michaela came over.

“Hey you guys,” Michaela said, “I noticed you two had an alliance, if Cori and I joined you guys, we would have four in our favour!”

“That’s perfect!” Ingrid exclaimed, “With Glyde voting with us, we will have majority and once and for all be able to thwart Cody and the others.”

Cody did not know what he was to do next, they clearly had majority in their hands, if only they could get to Ryan.

“Hey Ryan!” Steven called “I want to talk to you for a bit, alright?”

“Uh, sure.” Ryan replied.

“Well, with the addition of two more girls in this tribe, are you sure that you really fit in your alliance. I mean, all the inside jokes you don’t get. Why don’t you join with the guys? You will be much more respected here, and with your own kind, and if you are worrying about majority, we can swing Elizabeth over to vote. You aren’t wanted over there, you are just a vote,” Steven said convincingly.

“Well, I guess you are right.” Ryan said.

“Welcome to the team!” the others greeted him.
Across the mall, Dylan was having mixed emotions about his new tribe. He was happy because of his newfound alliance, but he was also sad, he had no idea what was going on over at the other tribe, but more importantly, he had no idea what was happening to Cori. He vowed to protect her anyway he could, even if it meant intentionally losing the challenges. If that were what he needed to do, he would do it. He couldn’t have thought of this at a more appropriate time as Vedran called, “Mall Mail!”

“Over, Under, Up, Down. During this challenge you’ll look like a clown.”

“Not very detailed,” Sean said.

“I think it is hinting at some kind of course,” Katie pondered.

“Well, we are about to find out, here come the MTV’s! Let’s go!” Jeff exclaimed.


“Welcome survivors, to your immunity challenge. But first things first, the immunity idol, is now one. You will be competing for the idol as always. Ready to hear your challenge?” Andrew asked.

As the crowd cheered Britteny explained the challenge,

“You will be taking part in an obstacle course. You will start by climbing over the pyramid of cereal boxes. Then you must swim through the pool of chocolate pudding, crawl under a metal pole and get one of eight key cards. Once each key card is placed in the slot, an alarm will flash. The first tribe to have their alarm flash wins immunity. No one is sitting out, so get your order ready and take your places.

(Some of the original challenge was changed)

“Survivors ready? Go!” Andrew yelled as Mike and Steven took off.

Steven had a noticeable lead as he crawled under the metal pole with ease, looking back he saw Mike struggle through the pudding; he grabbed his card and ran back as Cori started to go. Mike then finished and Dylan and Cori were neck and neck as just that second Dylan tripped in the pudding and fell, not getting up until Cori grabbed her key.

The muffin tribe worked hard from then on, and didn’t catch up until the final leg. Jeff and Michaela faced off as they raced through the pudding under the bar and grabbed their card at the exact same time. Jeff gained a slight lead during the sprint back, which would prove to be an advantage as the muffin tribe’s alarm went off first.

“Muffin tribe wins immunity! Banana, you will be seeing us a tribal council tomorrow, rest up and sleep well!” Britteny said as the MTV’s disappeared into the gigantic mall.
