Story

Night 7

	Sol	“	At Tribal Council tonight, my ass got blindsided. And the people who I thought were my allies, Kish and Teeny, they went against what I thought was gonna happen, and Rome is still here. That's what I'm more upset about. We know who Rome is. We know what kind of guy he is.	”

	Sol	“	I'm at the bottom of my tribe. I have to quickly get over it, and I have to get my mind right. Otherwise, I'm going home.	”

	Teeny	“	I'd love to claim the vote for Sol as purely this mastermind strategic plan, but that's not entirely true. I could not fathom writing Aysha's name down because of my emotional bond with her. You know? This isn't a moment where I'm like, yes. We just nailed a blindside. It’s a moment where I am upset.	”

	Teeny	“	I wanted to come out here and be this villainous mastermind player who was able to make decisions based purely off how I could advance in the game. But at the same time, I know myself. I'm sensitive, and that's something that I just have to learn to balance as I move forward in this game.	”

	Rome	“	Tonight, Tribal Council went exactly how I wanted it to go. Aysha went home, Sol messed up, and he knows he's on the bottom, and Rome ended up prevailing, baby.	”

	Rome	“	This Survivor game is going perfectly for me up to this point. I feel like I'm in control all the way. So if we gotta go back to Tribal Council again, I am 110% confident it's gonna be Sol.	”

Day 8

	Sam	“	Freestyling, going with the flow is kinda how I'm playing Survivor. And right now, Sierra is my number 1. The 2 of us are sitting in the middle. So if we go to tribal council, we can stick with Anika and Rachel or pick up Andy, and we still have the majority. So we're in the know and in the middle and in the driver's seat.	”

	Sierra	“	Get out of here. Whatever. I'm not even gonna let it get in my head. But I think moving forward in the game, I don't want them to know that Sam and I are this tight alliance. So I'm gonna make sure Anika and Rachel know that I want to work with them to make sure that line is, like, clear.	”

	Anika	“	When it comes to camp life and challenges, the 3 girls here have truly been the powerhouses of this tribe. And so we call ourselves the Breadwinner alliance. We have a very, like, relationship.	”

	Rachel	“	Having a strong alliance of women is incredible. Anika has been my number one since day 1, and then also having Sierra, who I also really trust at this point, is amazing for me. I feel good. I feel like my game's going as well as I could hope it could be going right now.	”

	Gabe	“	Before I even came into this game, my number one target for an ally was gonna be an older woman, preferably a mother. I wanted to play with a Sue, and the island fortune brought me a Sue. I think she's somebody who really wears her heart on her sleeve, but she also tells me everything. Sue has given me every piece of knowledge that she has in this game, so I'm very confident in my alliance with Sue right now.	”

	Sue	“	Right now, people see me as a mom. I'm a grandma. 100%, they're underestimating me because I am the older generation, but I'm hiding a lot from my tribe. They have no clue that I'm 58 years old.	”

	Sue	“	They have no idea that I am a badass pilot, and I'm an adrenaline junkie always looking for a rush. I'm here for the journey. I'm here for the thrill of it. And this is exciting because nobody would ever suspect that I've been spending my time secretly looking for an idol. I want that power. I want that protection. I want the thrill of finding an idol. No way. It is a freaking beware advantage. I couldn't open that packet fast enough.	”

	Sue	“	The map was giving me very specific instructions. But if I don't find that palm tree and get my idol, I don't vote. The rope is hidden in vines, but now that I knew what I was looking for, that rope stood out like a sore thumb.	”

	Sue	“	A bucket fractures and paint just bursts all over the place, and I see the idol there. I have no idea what I'm gonna do. Obviously, I don't want to get caught red handed. It is horrifying to see all of this paint. It looks like blood splattered everywhere, and I need to cover my tracks because I don't want anybody knowing that I have an idol.	”

	Sue	“	It is literally like a crime scene that I was the murderer and now I'm trying to cover my tracks. I'm so desperate to get rid of all the evidence knowing that the police are coming any second. I have paint on my legs. It's on the water well. And then on top of that, the trees had paint on them. It's just out of control. It's taking me forever, but I slowly see progress. And finally, I got rid of all the evidence. Not one person will ever, ever know I have a Hidden Immunity Idol. I pulled it off. I pulled it off.	”

	Tiyana	“	Caroline and I found Sue with the machete. There is blood all over her hands and all over her face. Immediately, my red flag was raised because I was kinda confused as to what she could've possibly done.	”

	Tiyana	“	I gotta keep an eye on Sue. I'm suspicious. I can smell BS from afar.	”

	Rome	“	Last night, I played my idol that was good for one tribal. Usually, that idol gets replaced. You know, I know that I'm probably the best one at looking for idols on my tribe, which is a comforting thing, but everyone right now is looking for idols. Sol is looking hard for this idol. That is very scary. We wanna make sure that no matter what, Sol cannot find this idol. Anyone but Sol. Anyone but Sol.	”

	Sol	“	I know what he's doing. He wants to vote me out, and he's trying to prevent me from searching for idols, so I don't get one. And he's threatening me to do that.	”

	Sol	“	He's, like, 10 years younger than me, and he's talking to me like I'm a kid. What the hell? What - what's happening right now? And, again, I gotta go, zen. Sol, relax.	”

	Kishan	“	Sol and Rome are on opposite planets, and that is a positive for me. I'm not here to play safe. I'm here to create some chaos, which is why I've been pushing for them to continue clashing so they will not work with each other. I think my strength is getting to know people, really understanding them, and then being able to beautifully manipulate them.	”

	Sol	“	With Rome, it's either his way or I'm gonna pout like a 5 year old way. He's gonna throw the biggest tantrum. I ain’t trying to deal with that all day long because it's exhausting, and it's messing my game up.	”

	Teeny	“	It is about as awkward as awkward can be. I know that Rome is just trying to protect our four, but, like, he just plays the game at an intensity level that is not a match with my own. And he's devoid of any sort of concept of what Sol might be feeling as, one, a player, and two, you know, a grown man, a human being on this earth.	”

	Genevieve	“	Of course, I feel bad for Sol. Rome is being rude, and, you know, Rome and I have a really good relationship and are very close. But it's also a complicated relationship for me to navigate because he's such a big personality and does rub people the wrong way.	”

	Genevieve	“	Sol is on the outs and is a free agent, and I wanna really nurture that relationship because Rome has ruffled all these feathers that it's like, I can only make the case for Rome so many times before it ends up being a case against me.	”

	Sam	“	Sure enough, Andy, the one guy who might need his shot in the dark somehow allowed it to just fumble out of his bag.	”

	Sam	“	Right now, I'm a little bit of a mentor to Andy's game. I'm just showing him how to play subtle Survivor. He just needs a little guidance is all. I think we're still working on it. Big work in progress, but he's a bit of a clumsy player at times. Andy's kind of like Survivor George Costanza. He can't get out of his own way. Everything Andy does, he should do the exact opposite of whatever he thinks is the right thing to do. I'm just trying to make sure that I'm always one step ahead of him and that he's always coming back to me with the information. As long as he's doing that, like, Andy can stay around in my book.	”

	Sierra	“	Andy is such a sloppy player. I'm like, do I really wanna move forward with that? I know that Sam wants to work with him, but I'm still up in the air, and it's driving me freaking nuts.	”

	Andy	“	I made a point and made a mission to build a real good bond with Sierra, and it's coming on strong. Because she gave me that breadwinners name, I know she's with me because I know she's throwing that alliance under the bus. She's throwing it away, and I believe truly that she's down to work with myself and Sam.	”

	Sam	“	The Breadwinners. I haven't heard that before. Sierra and I were supposed to be riding for each other no matter what. Why are you not coming to me with that kind of information?	”

	Sierra	“	I didn't say, hey, girls. Let's be called the breadwinners. I didn't come up with that. I'm going along with it because I'm doing what I think is best for my game.	”

	Sam	“	Sierra thinks Andy needs to go at the next tribal council, and, that ain't gonna work for me. Keeping Andy is absolutely essential to my game.	”

	Sierra	“	Sam and I are just completely bumping heads right now. We might need Survivor's Alliance therapy at this point because we're just going back and forth, and I'm like, this is too early in the game to be bickering like a freaking old married couple.	”

	Genevieve	“	Losing today's challenge and the way we lost it really sucked. While the other tribes might be enjoying chickens and having scrambled eggs, we've got tribal council, and we are gonna be having a straight up scramble to see who goes home. So not great. Not great.	”

	Rachel	“	The idea of eating, like, some juicy hot chicken right now just makes me want to just die in a pool of drool. But there are politics involved in whether to kill or not kill the chickens.	”

	Sierra	“	I cannot kill the chickens. Like, I can't do this. Chickens are near and dear to my heart. We go to wineries that have chickens. I feed them. I hold them. I pet them. I love chickens.	”

	Sam	“	My first thought when we win is thank you. Some food, some protein, but Sierra doesn't wanna kill the chickens. She wants to just wait around and hope that there's gonna be dozens and dozens of eggs that hatch. I'm 8 days without food. I don't care anymore. Just give me the green light and that chicken, will you know, it's going to the butcher shop.	”

	Rome	“	I put myself in the final position to do the puzzle. I definitely want to be the person that's in that clutch role. And, honestly, I was just absolutely awful. Fortunately, I have faith in the core four. So even though Gata chose Teeny to go on the journey, in our heads, we already know the game plan. It's gonna be Sol. It's just about how it goes down.	”

	Rome	“	I still have the steal a vote in my pocket. So if I feel like Sol might play his shot in the dark, guess what? I can use the steal a vote and make sure he can't play his shot in the dark because you have to have a vote in order to play your shot in the dark. But the thing is, I don't wanna use this steal a vote because if we, as an alliance, can keep this advantage, then we'll be sitting really pretty heading into the merge.	”

	Kishan	“	Rome proposes, let's maybe try to see if we can comfort Sol in this fake plan that the vote is gonna be on someone else. And I was like, maybe what about Genevieve? You know, strength is a big issue. So what if we say Genevieve? Just because I do not want my name heard? It hasn't been heard yet. I don't want it out there.	”

	Rome	“	It might be a little villainous. You know, I could strong-arm Sol tonight, and little does he know that he's gonna be gone regardless. But at the end of the day, at least I'll let him choose how he goes out. I feel like if I give him that ultimatum, I feel like he might actually break.	”

	Sol	“	I was like, bro, really, it's like, you can't be threatening people, but, you know, the villain on this season is Rome. It's a slap in the face because, nobody, especially of Rome's size, has ever talked to me the way he has, and I don't plan on working with him ever in this game.	”

	Kishan	“	You know, the obvious vote is we vote for Sol. And then on the other hand, you have Rome. His thing is - it's my show. You know? Lavo is Rome, and I'm starting to get sick of it. He's playing chaotically. That scares me. You know? I can trust him now. Can I trust him in the future?	”

	Kishan	“	I wanna switch the vote onto Rome, because I think the true benefit of this is Rome is super tight with Genevieve. Once Rome's gone, that leaves Genevieve in a really vulnerable position. If we get out Rome and we let Sol in into the plan, Sol now trusts me because I have created the plan to save him.	”

	Sol	“	This is one of the best feelings in the world. Rome is the vote. He's gonna have no clue. I'm so happy. At tonight's tribal, Rome will burn.	”

	Caroline	“	I did not wanna go on this journey. I personally think that journeys are a great opportunity to switch up your luck if you're on the bottom. But if you're in a pretty good position like me, this just puts a bigger target on your back. But here's the thing with Survivor, there's gonna be twists thrown your way that you can't control. And you know what? I'm gonna deal with those risks. I'm gonna deal with them head on, and I'm gonna make them advantages.	”

	Andy	“	I'm trying to massage my image. I'm trying to do some PR, like, that if I am someone who feels like a social outcast on my tribe, that is the picture perfect archetype of someone that players wanna scoop up in the merge, not target.	”

	Teeny	“	Neither of them are budging. My next Tribal Council is - is - is now. You know? I don't have much time to waste. Like, you guys at least have some time.	”

	Caroline	“	I'm getting so nervous. If no one volunteers to give up their vote, all three of us lose our vote at the next tribal. It's the very, very worst case scenario.	”

	Teeny	“	I don't wanna look back on this and feel like an idiot, but whether it's Rome or it's Sol, going home tonight, I think it could work without my vote. And in that moment, I felt I'm losing my vote either way. I either get something out of it or I don't.	”

	Andy	“	Now, this is a new amulet. This is not like the amulets we've seen in the past. The rules are slightly different. We can use this to be a hidden immunity idol. But in many ways, the inherent dilemma remains. Is this an opportunity for peace and collaboration, or is it an opportunity for warfare?	”

	Teeny	“	I definitely feel powerless without a vote, but I feel really lucky to have found alliance partners who are coming up with plans without me even being there, especially with my number 1, Kishan.	”

	Teeny	“	Sol is somebody who I wanna keep. And if that means that we get out Rome who is a bit of a nuisance around camp, who stresses us out in the game a little bit, then great. It's a win win.	”

	Genevieve	“	Rome going home is Kishan's plan, and I am a bossy type A woman, and I don't want to just be going along with plans, especially if they're not in my best interest. Like, Rome is an asset for me in this game, and he's ruffling people's feathers, but not mine. He trusts me. He will have my back. I mean, as much as anyone out here will. And the biggest red flag for me is Kishan doesn't hesitate to use my name as the decoy vote, which lets me know who's not really intimidated or respecting my game. So maybe it's time to stop going along with Kishan's plan and make Kishan the plan.	”

	Rome	“	The second that I heard Kishan might wanna put my name out there, I was a little bit hurt because I wanted to do everything that I could to make the alliance as strong as possible. And now at this point, I don't feel like I can trust anyone in this game but Genevieve. My steal a vote could be massive tonight. Maybe we could just get out Kishan, or I could block him completely from being able to vote and put two votes on Sol. And just like that, Sol will be going home. I'm willing to do it because guess what? I already know the guy doesn't like me. This, crazy, toxic, brother like relationship is a huge problem long term.	”

	Genevieve	“	There is no way I can pull off a Kishan blindside without Rome and Sol. But they're openly adversaries, and then Teeny doesn't have a vote, and she's really close with Kishan. So that's really not an option to me. But Rome and Sol have now just had this big fight, almost to the point that it's irreparable damage that can't be undone. So it is going to take a miracle to get them to work together.	”

	Genevieve	“	Sol's like, "I don't wanna work with Rome". Rome's like, "it's a done deal. Sol is going home tonight". And what would be best for my game would be to take a stealth shot at Kishan that he wouldn't see coming. The problem is you have to be in the majority. You need numbers. It is not a one person game. Genevieve doesn't get to pick. But with so few votes and because the steal a vote advantage exists, anything could happen, and it wouldn't take too much to turn the tide.	”

Final Words

	Kishan	“	I got blindsided, as simple as it can be. Some people may have caught wind of what I was doing which led to my downfall, so props to them. I respect the move, I respect what they did. Had I wished I had made Final 3? Of course. Had I wished I'd won? Yes, but I had no regrets. That's the beauty of the game, you never know what to expect and that's what makes it fun.	”
