Episode 5 – Fashionable Frenzy

Day 13

Muffin Tribe

Brittney ~ Vedran ~ Sean ~ Mike ~ Katie ~ Julia ~ Dylan

Things were not good when the Muffin Tribe got back to their shack of a camp. The Muffin Mart was falling apart, team morale was at an all time low, and things with the tribe members didn't help one bit.

Sobbing could be heard coming from one place where everybody knew what was going on.

“Ugh, come on! It was only one vote, how could it make her that upset, honestly, what a crybaby!” Vedran whined at the sound which drove the tribe crazy all night.

In the bathroom, Julia and Brittney tried to console Katie as she cried.

“Don't worry about it Katie, we need to go make ourselves breakfast, we'll bring you some, okay?” Julia said with a smile.

“Please don't cry, you're making me want to cry, and believe me, I don't want to cry right now!” Brittney lied through her innocent smile.

As they walked out of the bathroom, Katie stopped crying immediately and put on an evil smile as she vowed to herself “Oh don't worry, I won't. Mwahahah!”

Outside of the bathroom, Brittney confronted Julia to get rid of the psychopath Katie, so that she would have a clear ride all the way to the final four.

“Julia, I think Katie's losing it, I mean, I've always thought she was a little weird, even a little crazy, but this is insane, how can we trust her in an alliance, she is a bomb waiting to go off!”

“I guess you're right, but I can't believe that she is doing this to herself, I mean, we had the game wrapped up, she's only destroying herself...” Julia seemed uncertain that this was really happening

“I can't understand it either,”Brittney coaxed Julia on, “I mean, if you're that sensitive, why are you even out here in the first place?”

“You're right, I suppose she is just too much of a loose cannon to have on our alliance,” Julia still didn't seem convinced.

“A loose cannon, huh?” Katie said as she came up behind them, “I guess that you guys are just going to get rid of me now, huh? Just throw me into the wind because you have absolutely no trust in me. Brittney, we took you in! If it weren't for us, you would have been out of here before Paul, you owe me; and Julia, I was with you from the beginning, and a little thing like this happens and then you just ditch me! I just can't....I can't BELIEVE this!” Katie yelled as she stormed off back into the girls bathroom, where she wouldn't come out until she needed to.

Unfortunately for Katie (what hasn't been unfortunate for Katie this episode?), her other alliance mates had heard this as well. Mike and Dylan had been sitting in a circle of muffin crates along with Sean and Vedran, they had been talking about numerous things that guys talk about, but this is an e-rated story, so let's cut to the argument.

“I can't BELIEVE this!” Dylan and Mike heard much clearer than the rest of the conversation. They didn't know what they were going to do, they're alliance-mate had gone incredibly insane, and now they were in the same boat as Sean and Vedran.

From the power alliance, there were now several two people alliances, Julia and Brittney, Sean and Vedran, Dylan and Mike, and Katie. All of these people have been affected by Katie's actions and Julia, Mike, and Dylan may not have shown it, but they really wanted to win immunity, to save Katie, and to save themselves.

Banana Tribe

Cori ~ Ryan ~ Cody ~ Daniel ~ Ingrid ~ Elizabeth ~ Michaela

The Banana Tribe was well rested after their little food war the night before. No alliance was safe in this tribe, and nobody trusted their alliances, not one bit.

Michaela was still working on getting to the merger, she had as many alliances as she could, she was with Ingrid, Elizabeth and Cody in her main alliance, but also gave her word to Cori since the game had started. She vowed to do what Mitchell could not and was doing quite a good job of it, but she had a little competition if she wanted to run this tribe.

Cody was the other powerhouse of the tribe, he had Ryan and Daniel on his side, and he was aligned with Ingrid and Elizabeth, his plan was to always have a backup plan, when all else fails.

With such a tightly knit web of alliances, weren't some sure to fail? Only time would tell, but not this time, because as soon as the tribe started their day, Cori was there with the familiar announcement that they all knew would be there “Everybody, Mall Mail!”

The Mall Mail read...

“From T-Shirts, Shorts, and Sandals too.

The newest fashions worn on you,

Wear them right and win a prize.

Shirts, Pants, PJ's, and ties”

“Hmm, sounds like a fashion show! That's like, totally golden!” Ingrid remarked.

“Like, totally golden!” Michaela repeated, laughing.

“Well, if we want to win this challenge, we are going to need to practice, we need to get our posture just right down the runway if we want to win this thing” Cody said enthusiastically.

So the tribe went for about ten minutes, stumbling along the floor, trying to look like models as they walked. They looked ridiculous, they needed help, and they got it.

“Yo, you guys are doing this all wrong!” Daniel walked over as he demonstrated how to properly go down the runway.

So for the rest of the afternoon, Daniel taught them how to properly strut their way all the way down the runway.

“Wow, this is not really that bad!” Cori said as she ran up the runway and did a cartwheel right off of the edge.

“Yo, Cor-dawg! You gotta stop at the edge of the runway, word?” Daniel sighed as he knew she would never get it.

“Hey, I think I've got the hang of this! Cool!” Ingrid laughed all the way down the runway.

“That's wicked, dawg!” Daniel exclaimed, “I especially like how you walk on your toes, that shows good poise,”

“OKAY!” Ingrid yelled “I DO NOT WALK LIKE THAT!”

“Hahah!” laughed Michaela “You do! You do! You do!”

“You're mean! You poo!” Ingrid pouted.

“Next!” Daniel yelled as Cody came out on the runway, “Step, step, stop, look, step, step, good, look at the audience, excellent, step, work, good, I like it, working it, good, excellent, turn, walk, don't look back, GOOD!”

“Uh... thanks.” Cody wasn't sure whether to be flattered or not.

“Okay dawgs, that's good for now, We'll do pro in this contest, I'm sure!”

So as the tribe could have taken a path to peril, they did the one thing that the muffin tribe hasn't been able to do, they pulled together for one of the weirdest things ever... a fashion show. Well, it's the principle, right?

As the MTV pulled up, Daniel remained confident that his tribe would win the reward that day.

Reward Challenge

“Hello survivors!” Andrew said as the Banana tribe pulled in, “We'll now bring in the muffin tribe, Paul voted out at the last tribal council,”.

“In your mall mail, you received instructions hinting at something to do with fashion, well, that's exactly what it is. I'd like to present, The Sunny Beach Fashion Show!” Andrew exclaimed as the spotlight hit the runway,

“Here we have the Sunny Beach runway, it's wear you are going to model several new fashion lines by SunnyBeach.inc. One person will walk down the runway from each tribe at a time, the person who models the best wins the round, the tribe with the most rounds won wins the challenge. You will be judged by three important people in the fashion world Giorgio Armani, Donatello Versace, and Simon Cowell! These people will judge you on your clothing choices, and your presentation. Want to know what you're playing for?” Andrew said as the players cheered.

“The tribe that gets the highest score from our judges will win the clothes that they model as well as the rest of the SunnyBeach.inc fashion line. Survivors, get ready to hit the runway!” Andrew exclaimed

“The first pair up is Sean and Ryan!”

As Sean and Ryan walked up and down the runway the judges weighed in, “I really like the outfit that Ryan is wearing, but he doesn't have the walk, Sean has that confident stride, he definitely wins the round”

Next up on the runway is Vedran and Cody, look at them go, what do the judges have to say? “Both of them did really well, but if this were a model competition, that hair would have to be cut faster than you can say fiddlesticks! The round goes to Cody!”

“Thats one round for each tribe!” Andrew notes.

Katie and Ingrid both took their turn to hit the runway as they wore the exact same outfit and went down the runway the same way. Judges? “Well, this one was very close, but since this girl walks on her toes, she gets a bonus point. The round goes to Ingrid!” The judge said as Ingrid started to pout.

“Next on the Runway is Mike and Elizabeth, both looking smashing in our new beach line, and here they come!”Elizabeth managed to catch a glimpse of Mike in full scuba diving equipment and laughed, “Judges? Well, we'd have to say that the round goes to Elizabeth, the snorkel thing is so last year!”

“It's three rounds to one for the banana tribe!” Andrew recapped.

Cori took her turn to shine as she ran out onto the runway early, and didn't stop running until she hit the floor and landed on Simon, “Disqualification, the round goes to Dylan!” Simon said as Dylan smiled.

Julia and Michaela stepped out on the runway, both wearing athletic outfits. “We think the round goes to Julia, basketball is in, volleyball is OUT!”

“It's three rounds to three!” Andrew was starting to get annoying.

Our last pair, the powerhouses of the competition, Brittney and Daniel both in stunning outfits and perfect performance. “This was the closest round yet, but if this was a model search, we would have to pick ...Daniel! Banana wins reward! The outfits will arrive at the Banana Barn by tomorrow morning,” The judges explained

“Banana wins reward and the last key to their chest! Head back to camp and we'll see you tomorrow for the Immunity Challenge” Andrew said as the MTV's pulled toward the Muffin Mart and Banana Barn.
