Thanks for commenting, guatemala fanfic. I'm just glad you were able to comment, so no worries about being "late". Due to my schedule today, I probably won't have time to update polls/images until tomorrow, so yours will be counted.

I really liked this episode. I definitely see why you would say it's your favorite, and I appreciated that you had some survival-related scenes, some character-related scenes and some strategy scenes, so there was a variety of great content.

Yes, it was a good balance of everything. I don't think any of those elements were too over-powering, because I think most of the main strategy was held off until the end, which allowed for those survival/character scenes early on. I'm glad you liked it!

I think that Rapa might lose again, and Brook and James convince the other girls to vote out Leslie as being the weakest since they say that if another guy is voted out, the tribe will continue to lose. If Tikei loses, probably Anthony/Brian would go over Tina.

These are two very likely scenarios. We'll see if either of them plays out :)

Thanks for all of your predictions, polls, and edgic ratings too! I hope you enjoy the next episode. Have a good day :)

Episode 4: Shock, Chickens, and Showdowns

Jeff Probst: <narrating> Previously on Survivor…<A night-time view of the sky is shown as a flash of lightning appears and roaring thunder is heard.> Tina was feeling lonely after her closest friend Wanda was voted out at Tribal Council.

Tina - CONFESSIONAL: Waking up this morning and not having Wanda here to talk to made me feel really alone out here. Wanda and I were really close and <tearing up> I feel like I lost a really good friend.

Jeff Probst: <narrating> At the reward challenge, Rapa won pillows, blankets, a tarp, and also the ability to kidnap Dave.

Brook: We're gonna kidnap Dave.

<Dave opens his eyes wide then walks over to Rapa.>

Jeff Probst: <narrating> The tarp proved to come in very handy when I violent storm struck both tribes.

Brook: This is brutal.

Dave: Sucks for my tribe right now.

Jeff Probst: <narrating> Leaving Tikei without cover.

Tracy - CONFESSIONAL: <continued> We were all huddled together trying to keep warm, but it wasn't working. None of us slept at all because we were shivering all night long. It was just miserable.

Brian: I wish we had a tarp right now.

Jeff Probst: <narrating> The next day, Dave chose to give the next clue to the hidden immunity idol to Angie.

Angie - CONFESSIONAL: I couldn't believe it when Dave gave me the clue. I was so shocked! I didn't even know there was an idol, and now that I'm one of the only ones with a clue, my chance of finding it is very good right now.

Jeff Probst: <narrating> And a deal was made.

Angie: Listen; if I were to get kidnapped by your tribe, I would totally give you the clue. You gave it to me, so I should give it to you.

Dave: Hey, that sounds good.

Jeff Probst: <narrating> Prior to the immunity challenge, Leslie was feeling uneasy about her place in the tribe.

Leslie - CONFESSIONAL: For the past several days, I've been feeling like I'm next in line to go. Nobody has really been talking to me lately. I think the longest conversation I've had in a while was with Dave this morning, and he leaves tomorrow. You know, if we go to Tribal Council anytime soon, I'm certain I'll be voted off.

Jeff Probst: <narrating> At a fishy immunity challenge

Jeff Probst: If any of you remember Marquesas, you may recognize this… <Jeff brings out a plate of fish.> fafaru.

Jeff Probst: <narrating> Tikei was able to claim victory, avoiding Tribal Council.

Jeff Probst: With that, Tikei wins immunity!

Jeff Probst: <narrating> With Tribal Council ahead, the men of Rapa decided it was time to take out Leslie.

Aaron: Is there even a question? There's no way we're keeping Leslie after today.

Brook: Yeah, I think everyone's thinking the same.

Aaron: She's the weakest here, and she proved that again today. She's the only one that deserves to go.

Jeff Probst: <narrating> But the women had a different idea.

Misty: I think we should take one of them out now while we have the chance.

Erica: Bring Leslie in and take out one of the guys?

Angie: I'm totally down with that.

Misty - CONFESSIONAL: In this game, you always have to be a step ahead of your competition. We're stickin' it to them before they get the chance to stick it to us.

Jeff Probst: <narrating> The women went into Tribal Council and pulled off the first official blindside of the game.

Jeff Probst: Third person voted out of Survivor: Second Chances: <Misty is shown waiting to hear the final vote.> Aaron. <Aaron's jaw drops.>

James: What?

Jeff Probst: <narrating> 14 are left. Who will be voted out tonight? <The camera shows a clip of Aaron exiting the Tribal Council area.>

<The tribe walks back into camp. Leslie and Misty are shown walking together.>

Leslie: Thank you. Without you, I would've been out of here tonight.

Misty: I'd much rather have you here than Aaron.

Leslie: That means a lot to me.

Leslie - CONFESSIONAL: I dodged a huge bullet tonight a Tribal Council. Up until this afternoon, I thought I was a goner. Then the girls started talking about voting for Aaron instead, and I was just in shock! I couldn't believe it. Those girls saved my life.

Brook: That was quite a shocker, ladies.

James: What the hell happened?

Misty: We just didn't feel comfortable keeping Aaron around.

Brook: Why, because he's strong?

Misty: Yes!

Brook: We just lost our strongest member. How do you expect us to win challenges now?

Misty: It's not like Aaron was carrying the team to victory. We can win without him.

<Brook is shown shaking his head in disappointment.>

Brook - CONFESSIONAL: I didn't see that one coming at all. Aaron leaving took me totally by surprise. I'm not so much mad that he's gone; I'm just mad that I wasn't told anything.

<Brook is now alone with Misty.>

Brook: I'm not upset that you voted him out. I get that; it's part of the game. What I'm upset about is that you didn't tell me.

Misty: Would you have voted for him?

Brook: Maybe. I mean, I would've disagreed with it, so I don't know.

Misty: No matter what you did, the outcome still would've been the same.

Brook: I just want to be a part of the plans around here.

Misty: You're right. I should've told you.

Brook: Well, just make sure I don't get left out of anymore.

Misty: I won't.

Misty - CONFESSIONAL: I knew things would be a mess one way or another if Aaron was voted out. If I told Brook, he would've told the guys and it would be a chaos around here leading up to Tribal. I'd rather have things be a little chaotic after, rather than before a vote. Then I've got more time to sort things out.

<Brook and James are sitting alone by the fire.>

Brook: We're in trouble, man.

James: We shoulda known somethin' was up when they were talkin' by themselves all day long.

Brook: I know; I feel like an idiot.

James: We've gotta get this sorted out, and fast.

Brook: Yeah, or else we'll be out next.

James: Mm hmm.

James - CONFESSIONAL: Me, Brook, and Aaron were blindsided tonight. We all thought it was Leslie, but those girls were obviously thinkin' somethin' different. We should've known better than to leave them alone for so long. They sure as hell outsmarted us tonight, and we sure as hell deserved it.

Tikei - Day 10

<The tribe is shown around the fire eating servings of coconut. Brian is showing chewing his food with an unsatisfied expression on his face.>
Brian - CONFESSIONAL: For the last ten days, our diet has consisted of lots of water, two servings of coconut a day, and if we're lucky we get about half a fish every night. That may sound like a lot, but it's really not. The energy the food gives us quickly wears off and we're back to being tired and hungry after only a couple hours.

<Brian gets up from the fire and a growling noise is heard. He looks down at his stomach.>

Brian: That's all you get! Now shut up!

<The tribe laughs as the camera returns to Brian rolling his eyes.>

Dave: <in a high-pitched voice> Feed me, Brian!

Brian - CONFESSIONAL: <continued> I'm ready for some different food. Everything has lost its taste by now and just feels like mush inside my mouth. I could really go for like some bacon and eggs right now. Just thinking about it makes my mouth water!

Ashley: I think the best reward today would be food.

Tracy: Just anything different than what we've been eating.

Ashley: Yeah.

Tracy - CONFESSIONAL: I think everyone is always anxious for a reward challenge, because it's always something we're dying to have. Today, we're hoping there is some sort of food or meal involved. We could all use that right now.

Rapa - Day 10

<Brook is reading the last lines of treemail to the tribe.>

Brook: Match the words of the land

And you'll have food for days.

Erica: So like a matching thing?

Brook: I guess.

Angie: It says we'll be fed for days.

Leslie: Whatever that is, it sounds good.

Angie: We have to win this.

Angie - CONFESSIONAL: After losing the challenge yesterday, it'd be really nice to come back and win it today. And if we win, we could have the chance to kidnap Dave again, so I could possibly get another clue. So, I'm really looking forward to a win today.

Reward Challenge - Orana, Nana, What?

<Jeff Probst is standing on the beach, far away from shore. Behind him are 20 flip-boards in the sand.>

Jeff Probst: Tike, Rapa, come on in!

<Both tribes are shown walking out of the jungle and onto their beach. They take their places on their mats and turn to Jeff. Several members of Tikei are shown looking over at Rapa.>
Jeff Probst: Tikei, this is your first look at the new Rapa tribe. Aaron voted out at the last Tribal Council.

Jeff: Wow.

<Dave is shown with a look of disbelief before Tracy is shown with her jaw dropped and mouth open.>

Jeff Probst: Ready to get to today's challenge?

<Everyone is shown nodding and saying "yes".>

Jeff Probst: Today you'll be playing a matching game. Behind me are twenty flip-boards, each with a word printed underneath the cover. When it is your tribe's turn, one member will go out and flip two covers over, trying to make a match. If they find a pair, they score a point for your tribe. If they don't, they must flip the cover over again and return to the mat. Now the twist is, these words are very unfamiliar to you. They're common words used here in Polynesia. Many of these words look and sound alike, so it could be difficult to determine which is which. The first tribe to make five matches wins reward. Now, want to know what you're playing for?

<Brian is shown nodding his head.>

Jeff Probst: The winning tribe will receive a gift. Waiting for you back at camp will be one rooster and three egg-laying hens.

<The tribes are shown smiling and several cries of excitement can be heard.>

Jeff Probst: So, you could be having food for a very long time. I know that's worth playing for.

Dave: Yeah.

Jeff Probst: Tikei, because you have one extra member, you'll be sitting one person out. Who's it going to be?

<Tikei is shown in a huddle before they turn to Jeff again.>

Ashley: I'm sitting out, Jeff.

Jeff Probst: Okay Ashley, take a seat on the bench in the middle and we'll get started.

<A few minutes pass and the challenge is now ready to begin.>

Jeff Probst: In my hand, I have a coin. Tikei, since you won the challenge yesterday, you get the chance to call it.

<The tribe discusses for a moment.>

Dave: We're gonna go heads.

<Jeff tosses the coin then catches it in his hand.>

Jeff Probst: It's tails, which means Rapa gets to go first. Also, one more rule. You can discuss your next move, but once somebody leaves the mat, there's absolutely no talking or help allowed. Rapa, go ahead and make your first move.

<Brook steps off the mat and moves to a flip-board. He flips the cover and reveals the word "iti".>

Jeff Probst: Brook's looking for the other iti.

<Brook moves to another board. He flips the cover to reveal the word "nana".>

Jeff Probst: Brook finds nana, which means goodbye. No match. Tikei, you're up.

<Tracy moves to the closest board and reveals the word "orana".>

Jeff Probst: Tracy reveals a new word. Will she find its match?

<Tracy moves to another board. She flips the cover and reveals the word "tiare".>

Jeff Probst: No match for Tracy. Rapa's up. No word has been found twice so far.

<James walks over to a board and flips the cover. The word "moana" is revealed.>

Jeff Probst: James comes across the word for ocean. Can he find the match?

<James moves to a board in the last row. He flips the cover and reveals the word "tiare".>

Jeff Probst: No match for James, but he reveals the second tiare. Can Tikei remember where the first was?

<Brian is shown whispering in Anthony's ear. Anthony then moves to the board Tracy was at previously. He flips the cover and reveals the word "tiare".>

Jeff Probst: Anthony's found the first "tiare". Can he remember where James just revealed the second?

<Anthony moves to the back row of boards. He chooses one and reveals the second "tiare".>

Jeff Probst: Anthony has a match and scores a point for Tikei. <Tikei is shown cheering as Anthony returns to the mat.> Tikei leads one to nothing. Rapa's now looking to score.

<Misty leaves the mat and walks over to a board. She flips the cover and reveals the word "motu".>

Jeff Probst: Misty reveals another new word, motu, which means island.

<Misty moves to another board, close to Tikei's mat. She flips the cover and reveals the word "moana". When she sees the word, she puts her hand on her face and walks over to her tribe in disappoint.>

Jeff Probst: No match for Misty, but she has revealed the other location for the word moana. Does Tikei remember where the other board is?

<Brian is shown talking to Tina.>
Brian: You know where it is?

Tina: Yeah.

<Tina leaves the mat and moves toward the board Misty was just at. She flips the cover and reveals "moana".>

Jeff Probst: Tina has one moana, but does she remember where the other one is?

<Tina walks closer to Rapa. She looks at two boards and tries to decide which has the correct word. She closes her eyes and reveals the board on her left. The word "moana" is printed on it. Tikei is then shown cheering.>

Jeff Probst: Tina finds a match and scores another point for her tribe! Tikei now leads two-zip. Rapa, you're up.

<Leslie moves over to an untouched board and flips the cover. It reveals the word "nana".>

Jeff Probst: Leslie finds the second nana board. Brook revealed the first a while ago. Can she remember where it was?

<Leslie walks to the center boards and flips over a cover. It reveals the word "nana". Rapa cheers as Leslie smile and runs back to her tribe.>

Jeff Probst: Rapa's on the board with one point. Tikei's now up, trying to increase their lead.

<Jeff moves to a board near the center. He flips the cover and reveals the word "mauru'uru".>

Jeff: What does that mean?

Jeff Probst: That means thank you.

Jeff: Hmm.

<Jeff moves to another board. He flips it over and reveals a second "iti".>

Jeff Probst: Jeff finds the other iti that Brook revealed at the beginning. Can Rapa find it and score?

<Angie moves to the board Jeff just revealed and flips the cover.>

Jeff Probst: There's one.

<Angie moves to a board in the front row and reveals the word "iti".>

Jeff Probst: There's two! Angie scores for Rapa! We're tied two-two.

<The camera now runs through clips faster and plays shots of various people flipping over covers.>

Jeff Probst: Brian finds aita, which means no.

<cut>

Jeff Probst: Erica comes across tamaaraa, meaning feast. No match.

<cut>

Jeff Probst: Dave finds the second aita! He scores for Tikei! <Tikei is shown cheering before the camera cuts to another scene. Brook is then shown revealing the word "maita'I" followed by "vahine".>

Jeff Probst: No match for Brook.

<Tracy is then shown revealing the word "oia".

Jeff Probst: Oia means yes. Can Tracy find the other one?

<Tracy flips over another "aita" board.>

Jeff Probst: No she can't, but she gives Rapa an opportunity to score.

<Misty is shown revealing the first "aita". She then moves to another board and reveals the second.>

Jeff Probst: Misty scores! We're tied again, three-three.

<cut>

Jeff Probst: Tina finds the second fare board and scores!

<cut>

Jeff Probst: Erica finds both words for "dance" and earns a point for Rapa! Here's where we're at: Tikei needs just one more match. And since they went last, if they score here, they win. Tikei, it's your turn.

<Brian moves to a board. He flips it over and reveals the word "tifaifai".>

Jeff Probst: Brian finds tifaifai, which means quilt. The second board has not yet been revealed.

<Brian moves to another board and reveals the word "maeva".>

Jeff Probst: Maeva means welcome, so no match. Rapa has the chance to score here.

<Brook moves to a board. He flips the cover to reveal the word "marae".>

Jeff Probst: Brook finds marae, meaning temple. If he finds its match, Tikei would have to score or else Rapa wins.

<Brook moves to a board in the back. He flips over the cover and reveals the word "tamaaraa".>

Brook: [censored]

Jeff Probst: Brook reveals the second "tamaaraa". Tikei could score and win it right here.

<Dave quickly moves to the board Brook was just at and reveals "tamaaraa".>

Jeff Probst: Dave has the first board.

<Dave is then shown between two other boards, thinking which one has the second "tamaaraa".>

Dave: Eeny, meeny, miny, mo…

<Dave flips over the board on his left, revealing the word "tamaaraa".>

Jeff Probst: Dave matches tamaaraa, and with that, Tikei wins reward!

<Tikei is shown cheering as Dave runs back to the mat and receives hugs from his tribemates.>

Jeff Probst: Tikei, your reward is waiting back at camp, but we still have the kidnapping to get to. Who's it gonna be?

<The tribe huddles for a few minutes as Angie is shown with a frown on her face.>

Dave: Angie.

<Angie looks over at Dave.>

Jeff Probst: Angie, take this. <Jeff hands Angie a scroll and a bottle.> You know the drill; read it in private and you'll be given further instructions. <Jeff turns to Rapa.> Rapa, I've got nothin' for ya. Head on back to camp. <Jeff then turns to Tikei with a smile on his face.> Tikei, well-earned. Enjoy your reward. I'll see you at the next challenge. Head out.

<Both tribes exit the beach and return the way they came. Dave is shown with his arm around Angie before the camera fades to black.>

Immunity Challenge - Capture the Flag

<Jeff is standing on a floating platform in the water, as the tribes row their boats toward him. They reach the dock and wait to hear from Jeff.>

Jeff Probst: Angie, go ahead and rejoin your tribe. I'm sure you're anxious to get back.

<Angie moves over to Rapa's boat.>

Jeff Probst: Ready to get to today's challenge? <The tribes are heard saying "yeah" and nodding in agreement.> First thing's first: Tikei, I'll take back that immunity idol. <Ashley hands the idol to Jeff.> Immunity back up for grabs.

Jeff Probst: For today's challenge, each tribe will start at opposite ends of this floating course. On the other side, next to the opposing tribe, are colored flags that correspond to your own tribe. With one member of the tribe on the course at one time, you'll have to make your way to other side, grab a flag, and come back. Now, in the middle of the course is a single beam. If two members from opposing tribes meet on the beam, we'll have a showdown. On my go, you'll try to knock the other person off the beam. The first person to fall in the water loses, and the winner gets to continue moving. If at any point you fall off, you must go back to the start. However, in order for the next person in line to go, you must at least make it to the center beam. Everyone must make it to the center beam at least once. After that, you can follow any order. First tribe to collect 6 flags wins immunity.

Jeff Probst: Tikei, because you have one extra member, you're sitting somebody out. Keep in mind you cannot sit out the same person in back-to-back challenges, so the only person you can't sit out is Ashley.

<The Tikei tribe talks amongst themselves in their boat.>

Dave: Tina do you want to sit out?

Tina: No, I want to do this.

Anthony: I'd kind of like to sit out.

Jeff: Really?
Anthony: I'm not good with balancing.

Jeff: Alright.

<The camera turns back to Jeff.>

Jeff Probst: I need a decision.

Anthony: I'm sitting out, Jeff.

Jeff Probst: Anthony's sitting out. Everyone else wait for my go.

<A few minutes pass and the challenge is about to start. Jeff and Brook wait for the "go".>

Jeff Probst: This is for immunity. Survivors ready? Go!

<Jeff and Brook race to the center beam. The both meet at the same time.>

Jeff Probst: We've got our first showdown. Jeff and Brook, put one foot on the beam and leave one foot off. <Brook and Jeff follow orders.> Ready? Go!

<Jeff and Brook move closer to each other. Jeff quickly pushes Brook into the water. Afterward, he loses his balance and falls in too.>

Jeff Probst: Brook, back to the start. Jeff, get back on the course and continue across the beam.

<Jeff climbs back onto the course and moves toward Rapa's dock and grabs a flag. Misty is next on the course for Rapa. She steps in front of Jeff and crosses the center beam first. Jeff follows and makes his way to his dock.>

Jeff Probst: Jeff's back with the first flag for Tikei. They're up one-nothin'.

<As Jeff returns to the dock, Misty grabs a flag and moves back to her tribe's dock. Dave is now on the course. Misty moves quickly across the center beam and makes her way to the dock.>

Jeff Probst: Misty scores with a flag for Rapa!

<Dave slips and falls off of the center beam when James scores.>

Jeff Probst: Dave's in, back to the start. Brian and James are now on the course.

<Brian and James make their way to the center beam. They prepare for a showdown.>

Jeff Probst: Another showdown, this time James vs. Brian. Three, two, one, go!

<Brian and James run toward each other. Brian slips and loses balance and James quickly moves in and pushes him. He completely loses balance and falls off the beam. Rapa is shown cheering for James.>

Jeff Probst: Brian's down as James makes her way across the beam.

<James moves to grab a flag as Tina goes onto the course. Both make their way to the center beam. Tina gets there first and takes the lead. James follows and returns to the dock with another flag.>

Jeff Probst: James back with another flag for Rapa. They're up two-one.

<Tina grabs a flag and starts moving back to her dock. Leslie is now on the course. She moves slow but maintains her balance.>

Jeff Probst: Leslie going slow and steady across the center beam. Tina's back with a flag and scores for Tikei! We're all tied up.

<Leslie now closes in on the dock and grabs a flag. Tracy moves close to the same pace as Leslie, but reaches the center beam first. Leslie follows Tracy over. The two ladies reach the dock. Tracy grabs a flag and Leslie returns with one.>

Jeff Probst: Rapa scores again!

Angie: Good job, Leslie.

Jeff Probst: Angie moving out onto the course.

<Angie takes the lead over Tracy before they reach the center beam. Angie moves across, followed by Tracy. Both women reach the dock. Angie grabs a yellow flag and turns around.>
Jeff Probst: Tracy scores for Tikei! Both tribes have three flags.

<Angie is now at the center beam again as Ashley enters the course. Angie quickly moves across the center beam and moves to her tribe's dock.>

Jeff Probst: Angie back with another flag!

<Erica quickly makes her way onto the course and rushes to the center beam. Ashley is already across.>

Jeff Probst: Ashley just misses the showdown.

<Erica crosses the beam as Ashley grabs a purple flag and heads back. Erica is now shown grabbing a flag and heading back. Ashley reaches the center beam. As she is halfway across, Erica reaches the beam.>

Jeff Probst: Ashley, you're going to have to step back for a showdown.

<Ashley steps back as Erica gets ready.>

Jeff Probst: Three, two, one, go!

<Ashley and Erica lock arms. Both women fall into the water, but Erica's back hits first.>

Jeff Probst: Erica was in first, Ashley gets to move on.

<Tikei is heard cheering. Erica is then shown as she slaps the water and swims back to her dock. Brook then enters the course. Ashley is now at her dock with a flag.>

Jeff Probst: Ashley back with a flag for Tikei! We're tied again, four-four.

<Brook makes his way to the center beam as Jeff quickly gets onto the course. Jeff moves quickly and reaches the beam at the same time as Brook.>

Jeff Probst: We have another showdown, a rematch of Brook vs. Jeff. Ready? Go!

<Brook and Jeff lock arms as both fight to knock the other off. Jeff falls in first, and Brook falls in the water on top of him.>

Jeff Probst: Jeff was in first, so Brook's moving on!

<Brook makes his way across the beam and over to Tikei's dock. He grabs a flag. Brian returns to the course, beating Brook to the center beam. Brook follows and both men make their way to Rapa's dock. Brian grabs a flag as Brook returns with one.>

Jeff Probst: Brook back with Rapa's fifth flag, only needing one more to win. He's gonna head right back out.

<Brian makes his way across the beam, followed once again by Brook. They both cross and reach Tikei's dock.>

Jeff Probst: Brian has a fifth flag for Tikei. Both tribes only need one more.

<Brook grabs a flag as Jeff quickly enters the course. Brook reaches the center beam first and slowly moves across.>
Jeff Probst: All Brook has to do is make it back and Rapa wins immunity.

<After crossing the beam, Jeff takes an alternative route and beats Brook to the dock. He quickly runs to the center beam, but by now Brook reaches the dock with a sixth flag.>

Jeff Probst: Brook's back with the flag. Rapa wins immunity!

<Rapa is shown cheering and hugging Brook. The camera then returns to Tikei, where Jeff reaches the dock with the sixth flag.>

Jeff Probst: Rapa, congratulations. <Jeff hands the immunity idol to Brook.> You avoid another Tribal Council with me. <Jeff turns to Tikei.> Tikei, unfortunately I'll be seeing you there. Head on back to camp. I'll see you tonight.

<Brook is shown smiling before he kisses the immunity idol. Both tribes are then shown rowing their boats away from the platform before the camera zooms out and fades to black.>

Tikei - Day 12

<The tribe walks back into camp.>

Jeff: That was close.

Anthony: I thought you guys had 'em for sure.

Jeff - CONFESSIONAL: I hate losing to the other tribe by so little. I feel like I let my team down today. Had I beat Brook in that last showdown, I would've been in the lead instead of him and we would've won. I don't like to lose, and to be a cause of that loss really hurts.

<Dave is talking to Tracy.>

Dave: I'm thinking Tina tonight.

Tracy: Why are you so set on Tina?

Dave: She doesn't trust me at all, so why should I keep her around?

Tracy: She doesn't trust you because she thinks you want her voted out.

Dave: Well, I do.

Tracy: Anthony should go. He doesn't do much around camp, and Tina's way stronger than him in challenges.

Dave: Look, if we vote out Tina then you, me, Brian, and Anthony could team up and vote Jeff and Ashley out next. We'd be a solid four to the end.

Tracy: I'm going to think about it.

Dave - CONFESSIONAL: I can tell Tracy is close to Tina. I'm guessing that's why she doesn't want to vote her out. But, I can't think of any reason to get rid of Anthony. If we keep him, Tracy will be guaranteed final four. I don't know why she doesn't think that's a good idea. Because she likes Tina more? Tracy's not as good of a player as I thought she was if that's how she's basing her vote.

<Dave is now with Brian and Anthony.>

Brian: What's up?

Dave: Tracy's undecided. Tina wants to vote for Anthony, and Tracy doesn't want to vote for Tina.

Anthony: I she voting for me?

Dave: If she doesn't vote for Tina, then she'll probably vote for you.

Brian: Is there any chance of changing her mind?

Dave: I'm trying.

Brian: We may have to talk to Jeff and Ashley then.

Anthony: Why is she voting for me?

Anthony - CONFESSIONAL: After Wanda left, I thought it was just a given that Tina would go next. Apparently, things have changed and Dave no longer has Tracy as a locked vote. I'm a lot more worried right now, and I hope Dave can change Tracy's mind. I'm not ready to go home.

Brian: I'll talk to Jeff and Ashley and try to convince them to vote for Tina.

Dave: I'll try and get through to Tracy to do the same.

Brian - CONFESSIONAL: Anthony is my closest ally, so I can't lose him. Without him, I'd just have Dave. I mean, Dave's an okay person to align with, but you never can 100% trust him. Anthony is the one person who I can trust completely.

<Jeff, Ashley, and Tina are sitting around the fire.>
Jeff: I'm kind of disappointed with Anthony today.

Tina: He just wanted to sit out for no real reason.

Ashley: Other than he sucks at balancing.

Jeff: To me, that's just him being lazy and I don't know if I want someone around who's going to keep asking to sit out at challenges.

Jeff - CONFESSIONAL: I think Tina's a much stronger person to have around, both at camp and in challenges. Tina's never going to give up at anything. She's going to give it over 100% every time, and with Anthony, I don't know if we can expect to see that.

Tina: Well, just so you know, I'm writing Anthony's name down. I know the other three guys are voting for me, so I could really use some help.

Ashley: I don't see why we should keep Anthony. He's done nothing to really contribute to the tribe.

Jeff: I totally agree. Anthony hasn't done anything to prove himself.

Tina - CONFESSIONAL: I'm trying everything at this point. I know I'm in the hot seat, so I'm trying to get some other people to think differently and vote Anthony out instead of me. I'm a fighter, and I'm going to fight to the bitter end, whether that's tonight or thirty days from now. I'm gonna go down fighting.

<Tracy is talking with Dave in the woods.>

Dave: Have you thought about it?

Tracy: I don't know, Dave.

Dave: I'm not changing my vote. I'm sticking with Tina.

Tracy: I know.

Dave: This could be the turning point in the game for us. If we vote for Tina, we have a solid alliance of four, and we're guaranteed to go along way. If Anthony goes home, we don't have the numbers in this tribe, and we may not have numbers the rest of this game.

Tracy: Believe me, my head is spinning right now.

Dave: Remember how you were with Wanda? But in the end, you went with your head and everything worked out.

Tracy: Yeah.

Tracy - CONFESSIONAL: I'm really torn right now. I want to vote for Anthony and keep Tina, but Dave keeps telling me that it's not the best strategic move. This is really hard, even harder than voting for Wanda last time.

Tina: Would you at least let me know before we go what you decide to do?

Tracy: Of course.

Tina: Thanks.

Tracy - CONFESSIONAL: <continued> I hate being in this middle position, because either way I make someone angry with me. I'm running out of time, and I still don't know what to do.

Thanks for reading and commenting, DarrahColleenJerri!

I thought it was good.

Thank you!

I also think that the "strategical genius" that Dave is being portrayed as is not in keeping with how he actually is, your Dave seems based on the Guatemala Fanfic Dave not the real China Dave.

I'm not sure if I would consider Dave a "strategical genius", although he is showing a little more strategy, he hasn't always made the best moves. For example, the argument with Ashley; it made him appear more negative and that probably isn't the best thing to do.
There may be some elements of GF's Dave, but I think it's mostly due to strategy. Dave seems to know what he is doing and thinking a lot more. This could be because he's playing the game a second time; therefore, he's playing it a little differently. I agree that Dave is not as OTT as he was in the show, but it is because he is shown thinking and not as much a negative presence in the tribe.

And all that talk about how Tracy was not being strategical in siding with Tina was totally WTF

It was Dave who mentioned that this wouldn't be the best move for Tracy, and that has to do with him being biased on the matter. Anything that isn't his strategy is considered the "wrong" strategy to Dave. Other than that, I didn't try to make siding with Tina look like a bad move. If anything, I tried to make it seem like the better move. Only Dave along with Brian/Anthony didn't see it that way.

Thank you for participating in the polls as well.

I really enjoyed reading all of your comments, thank you for the details. Have a great week :)
