"A Perfect Metaphor"
Alina, Brendan, Colby, Erinn, Ethan, Ken, Morgan, Shirin.
Artis, Bob, Cassandra, Tina, Wendy.
Voiceover - Previously on... Survivor!
Voiceover - The Chencha have been a force in challenges.
We could see Chencha getting away with immunity idols and rewards.
Voiceover - And in six challenges...
We could see everyone luring goats, then carrying boxes with animal shapes on it.
Voiceover - They have been unstoppable!
Jeff Probst - Chencha wins reward! reward! Chencha wins immunity! Chencha! wins immunity, AGAIN! Chencha wins immunity!
Voiceover - They have won six out of the six challenges, and walked away with everything.
All Chencha members were celebrating their victory.
Voiceover - And they took it to another level, when Morgan made a condescending comment.
Morgan started rubbing it in the other tribe's face at the end of the challenge.
Morgan - I pretty much won on my own against your whole tribe. Also, it was pretty obvious which one was the hyena.
Tina rolled her eyes.
Tina - So modest and polite!
Morgan turns around, still smiling.
Voiceover - Leaving Gorgora completely crushed and losing hope for their tribe.
(Gorgora back at camp)
Tina - Put all rewards at green camp, and let us schedule our next three tribal councils?
Bob - Or how many ever tribal councils it is to merge.
Tina - Yeah, let's quit pretending we aren't going to them.
Voiceover - They didn't want to vote out a member, but in the end, they had to cut someone loose.
Confessional Artis - Keith and Russell were easy to get rid of, but this is going to be a tough pill to swallow.
Voiceover - They decided to eliminate Twila, because she was the least social.
Jeff Probst - Twila, tribe has spoken!
We can see Twila's torch get snuffed.
Voiceover - Thirteen people are left! Who will be voted out... tonight!?
GORGORA, NIGHT 9
A leopard was screaming at night, just before the Gorgora tribe would arrive at camp with their torches. Wendy left hers somewhere.Confessional Wendy - 
OH MY GOD, I MADE IT! I'm very shocked I survived last tribal council with no votes... REALLY? Twila voted for Tina??? Why, Twila? Tina is the strongest player *laughs*. Won't be missed. Bye byeeeee beeeeatch. I have an alliance with Artis, Bob and Tina... but honestly... My biggest friend is Cassandra. I really enjoy talking to her. She's fun, she always has something to say, we never talk game but we know a lot about each others life. Love this girl. If we go to another tribal council it will be very hard because I'm not voting her.

Wendy was about to get to sleep in her mosquito net, while the rest of the tribe decided to stay awake for a little while, talking around the crackeling fire.
Artis - That was tough.
Bob - I know.
Tina - It was awful.
Cassandra - Agreed.
Tina - Hopefully we're done with that till merge.
Cassandra - Gorgora strong. Yay!
Tina - And then it can be greens all the way.
Everyone stares at her.
Tina - As in : Greens voted out.
Artis - Hahaha.
Cassandra laughs too.
Confessional Cassandra - 
It's pretty scary that it's down to the five of us. I have a feeling that Bob and Artis are really close, and while I feel like I have a good relationship with both of them, I don't know if they are closer to Wendy or Tina than they are to me.

CHENCHA, DAY 10
A baboon was eating in the highlands, before we could see Erinn looking under rocks, like she would be searching something.Confessional Erinn - 
I have entertained myself by searching for a hidden immunity idol a TON, but to no avail yet. It eats up time even if it may be a lost cause. I scour the lands and I always come up short, which makes me wonder since it's already the fourth tribal and there is not yet any hidden idols to be seen or heard of. Ahh well, they'll come out eventually or I'll be angry.

After Erinn just replaced a rock, Ken just poked her in the back.
Ken - You're basically the hardest worker here, so if anybody deserves a quiet getaway, it's you.
Erinn - It's a nice play to go relax from the areas of camp life. I like to think it's a team effort and we all do our part.
Erinn shows a wooden log laying on the ground like would be using it as a seat.
Ken - I guess. I think there are one or two people who are effectively NPCs. Shirin, and Ethan.
We could see both Shirin and Ethan laying like lazy people inside the tribe's hut.
Erinn - Haha yes.
Ken - And most of the others lack personality. You and Morgan are really the only two I find interesting, and you being gorgeous has nothing to do with it.
Erinn - Haha you and your hot girls.
Ken - I'm a pro video gamer in my twenties. It's the first time I've been this close to a pretty girl since that time in High School.
Erinn - I assume it was the happiest moment of your life. The nerds are the ones who end up being our bosses in the future. Karma is alive.
Ken smiles and finishes eating his berries.
Confessional Ken - 
Erinn is the person I'm most wary of on this tribe. She's coming off as this cool laid back chick, basically Morgan's less hot younger sister who had to make do with personality. I get along really well with her, but I'd bet money that everybody else on the tribe feels the same way. I know my own stats, and that they measure up poorly in comparison to Colby or Brendan, so that definitely means I won't be trusting Erinn long term. As soon as I get the chance, I'm voting her out.

Erinn and Ken had gone get the tree-mail together, and they came back to the tribe to read it outloud.
Ken - "Today, you will be carrying your chances of a rewardesque box, by going through what local Ethiopians go through, every day."
Everyone seem interested.
Erinn - Can I sit this one out guys?
Alina - I'm fine with that. We need two more sit outs?
Everyone looked at each other, before it would switch camp.
GORGORA, DAY 10
A dove - specie of bird - was standing on top of the tribe's shelter, and Artis was trying to get it with a wooden stick. It flied away. He looks annoyed, right before Bob is coming back with the tree-mail for the tribe.Bob - Hey guys! Reward challenge!
Everyone gather around him to listen to the tree-mail message. Their reading would be inaudible as we could hear them confessing.
Confessional Wendy -
Last challenge I decided I was too tired to compete... this time I need to compete and I need to score for my team. I need to show them that I'm not just a number, that I good at camp but I'm also good at challenges.

They finished reading their tree-mail.
Confessional Bob - 
So, with everything happening to our tribe, it's been pretty disheartening to lose 6 challenges in a row. We are going into the challenge with low spirits and low expectations.

CHALLENGE FIELD
We could see the challenge settlement in a very dry and clear area : There was a wooden fence creating the perimeter of an arena. There was also, outside the ring, a table with ten pottery jugs. Nearby, Jeff was waiting on the tribes to come.Jeff Probst - Come on in guys!
Both tribes were coming from two distinct places. Chencha arrived on their mat, and Gorgora were almost arrived.
Jeff Probst - Chencha, take a look at the new Gorgora tribe, Twila voted out last tribal council!
Alina doesn't look too concerned.
Confessional Alina - 
Not concerned about Twila leaving, just glad to get her face out of here. That alone was annoying as fuck and I'm glad she's gone because of it. In my eyes Artis/Tina/Bob are the ones in charge.

Gorgora finally arrived on their mat.
Jeff Probst - For today's challenge, everyone will enter the ring.
We could see twenty legs inside the ring.
Jeff Probst - You will be holding a jug above your head.
We could see someone holding a jug on their head.
Jeff Probst - When your jug drops, you are OUT of the challenge.
We could see the jug shatter.
Jeff Probst - The twist is you can attack your opponents to make their jugs drop!
We could see someone trying to knock another one's jug, and they succeed, as it shatters when it hits the ground.
Jeff Probst - Last tribe standing... wins reward!
We could see a bunch of jugs continuing to shatter on the ground.
Jeff Probst - Wanna know what you're playing for?
Everyone - Yeah!
Jeff lifts the blanket covering the reward, revealing a tool box.
Jeff Probst - A tool box, it has all you need : Hammer, nails, screwdriver, a saw, and much more.
Not everyone sounded excited, some nodded of happiness, ready to compete.
Jeff Probst - Chencha, you have three extra members, cannot sit out the same person from back to back challenges! Who's it gonna be?
Brendan - Erinn, Alina... and Ethan!
All of them took a seat on the side line. Brendan makes a regretting face.
Confessional Brendan - 
So the reward challenge comes and I stupidly offer Ethan as a person who should sit out. It's a reward challenge, not immunity. I didn't really think that one out.
So the reward challenge comes and I stupidly offer Ethan as a person who should sit out. It's a reward challenge, not immunity. I didn't really think that one out.
Jeff Probst - Alright, take a spot, we'll get started!
Everyone moved and at some point, everyone were in the ring, putting their jug above their head, ready to start.
Jeff Probst - Survivors ready? GO!
As soon as the challenge starts, we can see Ken accidentally dropping his jug on the ground, and it breaks.
Jeff Probst - And just like that, Ken is out of this challenge!
Ken looks angry but walks out of the ring, while all Gorgora members, like Bob and Wendy were getting closer to the Chencha tribe. We could see Shirin trying to keep her jug on her head, with difficulty. She could barely move around. Cassandra and Colby were moving towards each other, while Bob just got close to Brendan. They exchanged a couple hands towards the other, but eventually, Bob slapped the jug of his opponent and it shattered on the ground.
Jeff Probst - Brendan is out of the challenge.
Brendan looks mad, as Bob was making his way to Morgan. Cassandra finally got closer to Colby, but he took a swing at her faster than her, so her jug flied in the air, but she had the time to pull him towards her, which cause him to lose his jug too. We could hear two jugs breaking.
Jeff Probst - We are down to six people! That's two Chencha, and four Gorgora! Could this be the come back they were waiting for?!
Bob tried to snap Morgan's jug, but he failed and actually took a hit at her left boob. She tried to hit back, but it didn't work, because he had already stepped back. But right behind Morgan was Wendy, and that latter one just pushed her, forcing her jug to drop on the ground. Morgan was now out of the challenge.
Jeff Probst - And we are only down to Shirin!
Shirin was stepping back while still trying to keep the jug on her head, as four Gorgora members were coming her way. Bob and Artis were closest to her. Once Shirin got cornered, Artis pulled on her arm, and the jug dropped on the ground, fracturing immediately.
Jeff Probst - Gorgora wins reward!
Wendy - AAAAAAAA YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!
Bob grabs his jug, and shatters it on the ground.
Bob - Boom! Here goes the dynamite!
Confessional Bob -
Somehow we caught a lucky streak tonight and won the freaking challenge. It was just a murder out there. I'm honestly so proud of us...we kicked ass. Hopefully green tribe suffer at camp and we can win the immunity challenge, and send one of those cocky greens home for a change.

Everyone were now back to their mat, and Jeff was handing the older tribe the tool box. Artis grabbed the box.
Jeff Probst - This is your reward! Well earned! Chencha, I got nothing for ya! Grab stuff, and head back to camp!
We could see everyone turn around, and walk away from challenge field, among them, Artis.
Confessional Artis -
We finally got a win! We had to settle these giant jugs on top of our heads and try to knock the opponent's jugs to the ground. It was absolute chaos. The people on my tribe were just going crazy and doing the best they could. I crept over to the last remaining girl and just SLAPPED it to the ground. It felt amazing to win, and hopefully we can use this momentum heading into the immunity challenge tomorrow.

CHENCHA, DAY 10
We could see a quick overview of the Ethiopian savanna, but we would only see the typical trees of the highlands. Then, there was this green flag of the Chencha tribe, nearby which the tribe were arriving empty handed. Shirin went sitting near the campfire with Ethan, while others were getting to camp chores. Alina sighed after drinking in her canteen of water, watching her tribe mates getting ready to work.Confessional Alina -
I think my tribe is getting a little tired of winning, which is weird. Maybe we lost momentum but I think no one was dying to win the reward.

Colby had just joined Alina on the side.
Alina - We just have to bring in the good for next round.
Colby - Yeah. I wish Ethan could sit out that one.
We could see Ethan already napping in the tribe's hut.
Alina - Well, now he can sit out for the immunity and we can win!
Colby - Didn't he sit out today?
Alina - Wait. Son of a bitch. He did.
Colby - I know.
Alina - I thought I was sitting out for him, and we need three sit outs. Honestly, I really hope you, me, Brendan and Erinn will play.
Colby - Me too. We are the strongest.
Alina - Do you think next challenge is the swap actually?
Colby - I'm scared haha.
Alina - Me too, I don't want anyone to get fucked cause of a swap either, except ETHAN. He can get fucked over.
Colby - Totally agree.
Alina - Hahahaha, have you talked to Shirin or Kenny recently?
Colby - Not really, haven't talked much to them overall.
Alina - Yeah, it's actually sad how little communication goes on in this game, but we have yet to go to tribal council, so I guess it's just slower for us.
Colby - I'm kinda curious about what's gonna happen.
Alina - Yeah, you mean in a tribal council setting or in a swap?
Colby - Tribal council setting.
Alina - I mean Ethan would go for sure, but I'd like to see relationships blossom more. From what it sounds, me, you, Erinn, and Brendan all seem to come back to eachother, and I like that. As long as the four of us make it to merge, I'm glad! I know it's kind of unspoken between you and I, but would you like to be in an alliance?
Colby - Of course, I do! Haha.
Alina - You're the one I have talked to the most, so yay. Why are we so awesome, Colby?
Colby - Haha, we are fabulous.
We could see a mother giraffe protecting its offspring, before Colby would now be talking to Brendan, taking a walk with him.
Colby - Poor Twila.
Brendan - I know. I bet Tina and Artis are a pair, I don't know. They're the strongest.
Colby - Down with them!
Brendan - Honestly, at least if we lose... we know we're all safe haha.
Colby - Yeah haha.
Brendan - So hey, I just wanted to ask you like, I got your back and you got mine! But I want that to go deeper in the game.
Colby - I'd be totally happy with that!
Brendan - Yay! I was like kinda nervous. Obviously hush hush and stuff, but I think we can work it. I mean we're both cool with Erinn and Alina as well.
Colby - Yeah, I don't really talk much with the others.
Brendan - Same. It's a shame. Ethan, who is that? *laughs*
Colby - Someone.
Brendan - *Laughs* a ghost.
Colby laughs too.
Confessional Colby -
I have solidified my relationship with Alina and Brendan. Alina's funny and she's been pretty good in challenges. I'd say she's the person I trust the most at the moment.

From the campfire, Shirin could see them take a walk with each other, and also noticing a few other tribe mates doing camp shore, and she was feeding the fire by herself.
Confessional Shirin -
Man I just have so little to say so far. If people are talking, they aren't talking to me. I should probably make more of an effort.

Morgan was now back with the tree-mail, and everyone gathered around her. We could see her read the parchment inaudibly.
Confessional Morgan -
I'm determined for our tribe to win every one because I'm nervous to attend Tribal Council, even though at this point, Ethan is an easy first boot. And Shirin is not far behind. Ethan is an easy first boot because he is pretty much useless in all of the challenges. And Shirin... I don't think she's really all that much help either.

Brendan - I'm ready to SHRED these guys! Who should sit out?
Morgan - Ugh I don't know, it sucks that we can't sit out Ethan.
Ethan wouldn't hear this, as he would still be napping in the hut during the reading of the tree-mail.
Brendan - I know. Why did I think sitting him out in the reward was smart?
Morgan - Yeah that reward challenge was wack anyways, and the reward wasn't really needed.
Brendan - Nope.
Ethan complains of stomach pain during his nap, before it would switch camp.
GORGORA, DAY 10
After seeing the sun at its peak in the sky, the older tribe were coming back with their reward : a box of tool "craftsman". Bob just put it somewhere in their shelter, while Wendy was taking a sneak peek into the container.Confessional Wendy -
YESSSS WE WON!!!!!!! a reward! *giggles* That's something, come on! we lost like six times and now we won...
YESSSS WE WON!!!!!!! a reward! *giggles* That's something, come on! we lost like six times and now we won...
Artis - Hahaha, if only this was immunity. That was easy.
Bob - I know right?
Everyone were still celebrating, exploring the containing of the tool box.
Bob - We need to maintain the shelter.
Artis - There.
Artis handed him the hammer and a few nails. We could then see Bob fixing the shelter with nails and a hammer in hand. Toc! Toc! Toc!
GORGORA, DAY 11
A baboon was screaming before a new day would dawn. Cassandra just marked the eleventh day on the tree with paintaing. All of a sudden, the peace at camp gets ruined when a noisy dove comes at camp, walking around their bag of rice.Bob - And that damn Dove...
Bob and Tina circled the Dove, and Artis was about to get him with the help of the mosquito net. Once he threw it, the dove dodged it and flied away.
Tina - That fucking dove always leaves so quick.
Bob shook his fist, glaring at the dove going away.
Bob - We'll get him one day.
Cassandra shook her head, as she grabbed her bag. They were about to leave for the challenge.
Confessional Cassandra -
Hopefully we win this immunity challenge tomorrow. I have no idea what will happen if we lose... *worried face*
Hopefully we win this immunity challenge tomorrow. I have no idea what will happen if we lose... *worried face*
CHALLENGE FIELD
We could see the challenge settlement : there were two giant balls at the beginning of a road that led to a table maze, one for each tribe. Nearby, Jeff was waiting on the tribes to come.Jeff Probst - Come on in guys!
Chencha came from the left, and Gorgora came from the right. They stepped on their mat, and Brendan was already giving immunity back to Jeff.
Jeff Probst - Immunity is back up for grabs!
Jeff puts the immunity back to its original spot.
Jeff Probst - For today's challenge, one person will be strapped inside a giant ball.
We could see someone strapped inside a giant ball.
Jeff Probst - That person must then guide two other tribe members who will be blindfolded, as they push the ball down the long winding course...
We could see two blindfolded people pushing the ball.
Jeff Probst - ...To a table maze!
We could see two blindfolded people trying to move a ball through a table maze.
Jeff Probst - First tribe to finish... wins immunity!
We can see the ball land on the finish spot.
Jeff Probst - Chencha, you're sitting three people out.
Shirin raised her hand, and Brendan/Colby followed her. They were going to sit on the side lines.
Jeff Probst - Alright, take your spots, we'll get started!
Everyone were ready to go.
Jeff Probst - Survivors ready? GO!
Both tribes were pushing on their ball as hard as they could, and their guide would be yelling directions.
Bob - Push! Push! Push!
Morgan - Straight forward! Straight!
We could see Cassandra and Artis pushing as hard as they could, because they would be sweating already. On the other tribe, Alina and Erinn, two skinny women, were having more difficulty pushing that ball, making slower progress than the other tribe.
Jeff Probst - Gorgora are up with a quick start!
Morgan - Faster! Faster!
Bob - Left!
Artis stumbles on the wooden stick but recovers and continues to push the ball.
All of a sudden, we could hear a ball hit something hard. It was Chencha's ball that just went off track.
Jeff Probst - Chencha are off track! They need to get it together!
Alina and Erinn were forcing the ball to get back on track, under the directions of Morgan.
Morgan - Push to the right!
They finally got back on track, but they were a lot more behind now.
Because Bob would have his head upside down, he wouldn't see that a rock was right in front of them. He felt a shock when the ball just went right into it, and got stuck.
Jeff Probst - Gorgora now stuck on a rock! Gotta get out of it!
During that time, we could see Chencha making more progress, as the girls were having an easier time rolling Morgan who would keep saying "straight!"
Bob - Artis, get on the other side!
Artis ran on the other side of the ball, and he started pushing, with the help of Cassandra. They finally got off the rock and could now keep going. They lost a lot of lead, but still had the lead.
Chencha were now on a roll, and they were moving a lot faster than the other tribe, who had slowed down.
Bob - To the right!
Seeing the other tribe coming, Bob wanted to block them, but all it would do, when Chencha's ball came by, is they collapsed.
Jeff Probst - We are neck to neck!
Alina pushed the ball to get it off the other tribe's ball, so did Cassandra. Both tribes continued, but it was Chencha who moved faster. They were now in the lead.
Bob - Stop! Stop!
Artis stopped, and Cassandra pushed a few more, and that was too much : the red ball just struck onto a rock again. *Bang!*
Bob - Cassandra, move on the other side, real quick, and push!
She listened to his order and was pushing to get the ball off the rock, but that didn't work so easily.
Jeff Probst - Gorgora are STUCK, once again!
Bob - Artis, go help Cassandra to push!
He moved over to help her, while on the other side, Alina and Erinn would continue avoiding obstacles and making the ball roll towards the table maze. We finally heard the red ball getting off the rock and they were back on track. Artis and Cassandra took their spots back, and kept pushing.
Jeff Probst - This challenge is not over! You still have a table maze to do! Let's go!
Alina and Erinn would keep pushing on the green ball, just like Bob would keep getting rolled by his two blindfolded tribe mates. They were trying to make some ground, after losing a lot of time.
Morgan - Straight forward! Keep going!
Bob - Push! Pushhh!
Gorgora were now gaining speed as they would continue down the course, but Chencha were almost arrived. All they had to do now was place the ball on its spot.
Morgan - Stop! Alina, push a little forward! Not too much!
Cassandra and Artis were still pushing as fast as they could.
Morgan - OKAY! Right there!
Jeff Probst - Chencha arrived to the table maze! They can now start!
Bob - Keep going! We're almost there!
Gorgora could see their table maze, but they still had some distance to make.
Ken just put the white ball into the maze, and they could now start.
Morgan - Okay Kenny, go down past the first line from the start.
We could hear the white ball making movement through the maze.
Ken - Got it!
The ball just hit a wall, and nearly fell into a hole, but Ken recovered.
Morgan - Ethan, keep it steady!
Ethan replaced the maze on a balanced level.
Jeff Probst - Chencha have a big lead, but Gorgora are almost there!
We could see their ball approaching their destination very shortly.
Bob - Right there!
Their ball was now placed, and they could start their table maze.
Wendy just placed the ball in the maze.
Ken - Where do I go from there?
Morgan - Up real quick, then over, and then down!
Ken and Ethan were doing maneuvers with the table maze.
Ken - Where do I go?
The ball touched one of the holes but rolled back onto the table maze to continue its way until it hits a wall.
Tina - I'm following. Just keep going.
Bob - Right to the wall, the down to the wall!
Tina and Wendy were doing maneuvers to listen to the directions, and they were getting closer to center.
Morgan - Go down from there!
Ken lowered the table down, letting the ball roll closer to center, hitting a new wall.
Bob - Right around that corner!
Tina moved the table upside, letting the ball roll closer to center.
Morgan - You have a smooth way to the finish!
Ken moved the table so that the ball would get closer to the finish hole. The ball would keep going over, back and forth, while Gorgora would continue to make some progress.
Bob - Down!
Wendy just moved the table upside down...
And Chencha's ball landed on the finish hole.
Jeff Probst - Chencha wins immunity for the FOURTH time!
All Chencha members were celebrating, while Gorgora are devastated. Bob falls to the ground.
Wendy - Oh no, not again... *sad face*
Cassandra stares at the ground and shakes her head, while Artis helps Bob get up.
Morgan - We're simply amazing!
Bob - So sweet and humble!
Morgan continues to smile and Jeff hands her the immunity idol.
Jeff Probst - Nobody from your tribe is going home, Gorgora, I can't say the same thing, one of you is going home tomorrow night, you have a day to figure it out! Grab stuff, and head back to camp!
Alina smiled with Morgan and the immunity idol.
Confessional Alina -
The other tribe must absolutely hate us. There is no way any of them can make it and win this game unless it's an immunity run.

Cassandra looked at her tribe mates.
Cassandra - I feel so bad about the rock.
Bob - It's ok, we all messed up!
Bob turned around, and grabbed his bag to put on his shoulder, him, Artis, and the tribe were walking out of the challenge field.
Confessional Artis -
Cassandra messed us up and put us behind a rock which took a long time to get out of. Tina put in a good effort with the maze, but it just wasn't enough. This constant losing streak is just so devastating, I don't know how to put it into words. I don't think I'll even make it to the end.

CHENCHA, DAY 11
An Elephant was taking its bath, before the tribe would arrive at camp. The ambiance was happiness. Colby raised his arms in the air and screamed victory to the highlands.Colby - YAAAAY!
Ken - HOLLA.
Colby - You guys rocked!
Ken - We're a-maze-ing.
Brendan - No need to be nervous, I knew we were winning. They're terrible and we're amazing.
Alina - FUCK YES.
Brendan - It was so close.
Morgan - I know.
Alina - Oh my god, why are we so fucking good?
Their celebration was over when they started splitting around, leaving Brendan and Morgan together.
Brendan - I really hope we don't swap.
Morgan - Yeah, I have a bad feeling about that. After this round would be the time for it to happen, if it were to happen.
Brendan - Yep. But if we stay Chencha strong, we can all meet up at merge.
Morgan - For sure! Which I hope we would. The only way we wouldn't is if it was all four of them on one tribe together and two of us with them, or three of them and three of us and one of us is flipping.
Brendan - Oh my god, would it really shake out like that though. I figured it would be two versus four on each.
Morgan - Yeah, but if it's random, you never know.
Confessional Morgan -
I'm predicting that if a tribe swap were to happen, next round would be the time for it to happen. The only concern I have with that is if it was all four of them on one tribe together and two of us with them, or three of them and three of us. I'm hoping that nobody would want to flip.

The sun continued shining, and Brendan just pulled Alina aside.
Alina - We can't go wrong with a swap, right? Unless four of them are on one tribe.
Brendan - That's what Morgan said, and I got nervous. Could that even happen.
Alina - Well, if worst comes to worst, whoever has the majority could throw. I'm gonna be really dramatic when ETHAN leaves, but I really don't want a swap.
Brendan - Me either, maybe it's to be expected, so no swap.
Alina - See, that's what I want. We'd destroy the other tribe either way in theory. Who do you think will leave? I think Wendy or Cassandra.
Brendan - Me too. I think Tina and Artis are tight.
Alina - Yeah. They're the leaders.
Brendan - Mhm.
Alina - I think Bob is third, Wendy five?
Brendan - I bet Cassandra or Wendy, you're right.
Alina nodded.
Confessional Brendan -
Alina is who I've really connected with the most out here. At first, Erinn was my number one, but easily Alina is up there now. She's always down to chat about anything and we like a lot of the same stuff. I've connected with Alina on a more personal level which makes me want to work with her strategically. I'm still tight with Erinn, and I try to talk to Colby as much as I can to. That foursome that I need to happen isn't happened. But yeah, Alina is great.

GORGORA, DAY 11
A bunch of hyenas were having a meal, before the Gorgora tribe would arrive at camp with a devastated expression. Bob was one of them.Confessional Bob -
I'm just dumbfounded...every single fucking time something barely fucks us over to lose the challenge. This time was no different.

When they arrived at their shelter, they noticed the annoying dove, still trying to peek into the bag of rice. Artis made a sign to his tribe mates to step back, while he was slowly moving behind the bird. He was very close to it, but as soon as he tries to put his hands on it, it flies away. Artis looks angry.
Confessional Artis -
There's this damn dove that hangs out around our camp, and every once in a while it gets close enough that we might be able to catch it, but it flies away just in time. It's almost like this little thing is taunting us! And it just occurred to me that this dove is a perfect metaphor for the immunity challenges. We get visions of how delicious and juicy this thing is going to be if we catch it, but every time we get a little bit close, it races away in the sunset.

GORGORA, DAY 12
The sun continued to shine after a cloud moved over. Cassandra was adding firewood to the campfire.Confessional Cassandra -
I messed up on a rock, and we lost a lot of momentum from it. I am so worried that I am being targeted. My initial reaction was to vote for Wendy. I am def not voting off Artis, since I already gave him my word on like Day 2 and I would feel super bad voting out Bob after all he did in the challenge...

Cassandra was sitting right in front of Artis at the campfire.
Artis - Why does this keep happening?
Cassandra - You did so well... But yeah, it sucks. Well, I hate to ask but do you have any idea what to do for the vote?
Artis - I really don't. It'll probably be Wendy though.
Cassandra - That's unfortunately who I was leaning towards as well.
Artis - I just haven't seen her do good in any challenges. She's a sweetheart, but...
Cassandra - Yeah. She literally did nothing in this past one.
Artis - Tina feels the same way.
Cassandra - Okay great.. Have you talked to Bob?
Artis - Not recently, he doesn't know what to do.
Cassandra - Well... I guess if we have you, me, and Tina, we are good.
Artis - Yeah. This sucks so bad.
Cassandra - I know.
A snail was still standing on a leaf, before Cassandra would now pull Tina aside, who had a bucket of water in hand.
Cassandra - If it's any comfort, I definitely don't want to vote you out.
They continued walking together.
Tina - I don't want to vote you out either.
Cassandra - Thanks girl. I guess if we're going based on challenge performance, Wendy is the way to go.
Tina - Yeah...
Cassandra - Sounds like Artis agrees with us so that's comforting.
Tina - Yeah, Bob too.
Confessional Cassandra -
Artis told me that he thought Wendy would go, and when I threw out Wendy's name to Tina, she jumped on it. So it was luckily not too hard.

Cassandra nodded.
Confessional Tina -
I'm pretty sure its me tonight. The way Cass came to me after we lost and she said "if its any comfort I don't want to vote for you." Which sounds to me like it's already been discussed that I'm a goner this round. Fucking A.. Should have teamed up with Russell and got Bob out. REGRETS.

After they got back to camp, Cassandra left her alone, and Tina just put the bucket of water next to the fire. Wendy helped her place it.
Wendy - We must be the worst tribe in history.
Tina - We will be down to two people and have to do an elimination challenge. *laughs*
Wendy - I really don't get it because I don't think we are that bad. The other tribe is just insane.
Tina - We're never that far behind.
Wendy - Exactly. Any idea about this vote?
Tina - God. No one is a good option. What were you thinking? Has Bob approached you about an alliance?
Wendy - Yes.. he did. But no one said anything about vote.
Tina - As far as he told me, it was me, you, him, and Artis together... but man, Cass doesn't deserve to go either. There is simply no good option.
Wendy - That's what he said... very hard vote.
Confessional Wendy -
I came to this game to have fun.. to enjoy it... to be someone fun to watch... but i'm stuck in a tribe that can't win. If I was a bitch I'd be gone since round 2. I became a sweet lady, friendly with the whole tribe because that's what made me survive until here. I don't think I can survive it anymore. Honestly, what's the point? This tribe is cursed. Only two or three of us will make merge... and whoever makes it will leave in a heartbeat. For this vote, two possibilities : First, stick with my "alliance" and vote off Cassandra. Second, Try to work with Cassandra, and get Tina to vote off Bob.

The sun was slowly settling down, and it was almost time to go to tribal council. Artis was meeting with Tina before the vote.
Tina - I don't want to vote for anyone. This sucks.
Artis - Me neither. We all deserve to stay.
Tina - I feel like our best chance at winning a challenge is if we keep Cass, but we just made this deal with wendy last round.
Artis - That is exactly what I was thinking.
Tina - Ugh.
Artis - I know, Tina.
We could hear some birds making noise before Artis would now meet Bob.
Artis - What are you thinking?
Bob - Well, our options are : one, vote Cass out ; two, break our deal we just made with Wendy.
Artis - I honestly don't know which one.
Bob - Exactly.
Artis - I don't want to vote either of them off.
Bob - Me either. Everything keeps running through my head on how I fucked this up... going slow on directions? I'm just getting depressed.
Artis - It was mine and Cassandra's fault. She messed up BIG time with the rock.
Bob - I love Cass, but it just seems like maybe it's her time to go? I dunno... this vote is so tough.
Artis - I know. I love her too, but she seems like she's next on the chopping block. On the other hand, I think she's better at challenges than Wendy... I just don't know.
Bob - Exactly. It's such a struggle right now.
Artis - I know...
Confessional Artis -
Since my alliance with Bob and Tina is still intact, we're down to the two other people in our tribe for who is going home tonight; Cassandra and Wendy. There are a lot of pros and cons to getting rid/keeping either of them. We just pulled Wendy into our alliance, and she's a sweetheart who helps out around camp. However, I haven't really seen her step up in any of the challenges. This last one Tina did all the work on the maze. Then there's Cass, who is easily the most likable person on the tribe and just an amazing person. She barely helps out around camp. It's going to be an extremely difficult vote, and I honestly don't know who I'm going to go for.

The tribe were now gathering their torches, and Bob was last to do so.
Confessional Bob -
For some reason, though I have no evidence to back it up...something tells me this is either going to smooth or my blindside has come. I don't know why. I should be safe...but you never know with these people.

TRIBAL COUNCIL
The sun was now substituted by a full moon above the ethiopian village. We could see the five remaining of the Gorgora tribe walking in one straight line during an ethiopian themed music. They had their torches in hand to light their way through the darkness. Cassandra entered tribal council first, followed by Bob. Jeff was watching them coming. Wendy just put her torch in a hold, so did Tina. Artis sat down last. Jeff then shook his head.Jeff Probst - I can't believe I'm seeing you guys here again. This must not be fun, right?
Bob - Of course it's not fun, Jeff. We're showing a good performance, it just isn't quite enough yet.
Jeff Probst - Cassandra, do you have faith in this tribe anymore?
Cassandra - Absolutely. I know we have lost a lot, but I do think we have a great group of people, and after tonight especially, the four of us will be tight.
Jeff Probst - Artis, with all these losses... does it make the tribe more united? Or will it break your tribe apart even more as you have to vote people out?
Artis - Well, you know what they say... tragedy brings people together... I think we're at a point where everyone understands that being voted out isn't personal and we're just being forced to do it. I don't think it'll break us apart.
Jeff Probst - Tina, what do you think might be the cracks on the other tribe, if any?
Tina - I definitely think there is a crack or two between them... all eight can't be living harmoniously this long. I don't know for sure what they are, but if I had to pick someone to be on the outs, I'd say Ethan.
Jeff Probst - Wendy, what does it take to trust someone with so few people left in the tribe?
Wendy - After four votes, we are closer than ever. We all trust each other. We know someone has to go, and we are all very sad and disappointed that we have to vote someone out again.
Jeff Probst - Cassandra, if this tribe has any leader, who would it be and what kind of leader?
Cassandra - Hmm, I would say maybe Bob? He always does really well in challenges, particularly in this last one where he took the guide role. So I guess that would be a challenge leader.
Jeff Probst - Bob, do you think this is more of a target on your back, or actually a good label for your game?
Bob - It's a mix of both. Leaders always seem to go early in Survivor, and you never know when you've led someone too much. But having a leadership type of label can be beneficial because your tribe can count on you.
Jeff Probst - Tina, what do you expect for the next few rounds?
Tina - I think after tonight, there very well may be a swap... it's a nice even number and we could be divided into two tribes of six, or maybe an early merge with twelve. No matter what, both scenarios are not good for us.
Jeff Probst - Are you going to play your game differently now, and if so, what would be different?
Tina - I'm not planning on changing my game at all. I have bonded with the others in my tribe so much, I can't imagine all of us not working together once we have those assholes greens mixed in. I'm loyal to Cass, Artis, Wendy and Bob first and foremost and that's how it's going to be til the end, or until I'm voted out.
Jeff Probst - Wendy, what would be a smart vote tonight?
Wendy - At this point, we don't have a smart vote. Tonight, we will lose someone important for the tribe no matter who leaves.
Jeff Probst - Artis, there will be only four people remaining after this vote, why should you be one of those four?
Artis - I feel like I have very strong relationships with everyone here, and I help out around camp. But no matter what happens, we all deserve to be one of those four.
Jeff Probst - Do you think there's any chance you're going home?
Artis - There could always be a blindside, but I don't think so.
Jeff Probst - Bob, who should feel on the chopping block tonight?
Bob - I don't think there's any one person or couple of people that should feel on the block... we all admitted to messing up in the challenge, so we understand if we get voted out...though each of us secretly hopes its not us.
Jeff Probst - Alright, then let's get to the vote. It is... time to vote! Bob, you're up!
Bob stood up and walked to the voting podium, where he would write a name down, followed by Cassandra, and Artis. Tina just bend her vote, and put it in the urn, before Wendy would do the same, and walk back to her seat. Jeff waited until she sat down.
Jeff Probst - I'll tally the votes...
While Jeff was gone tallying the votes, we could see Bob, Cassandra, and Wendy one after the other, a little worried. Jeff finally came back with the urn.
Jeff Probst - Once the votes are read, decisions is final, person voted out will be asked to leave tribal council immediately. I'll read the votes...
1st Vote...
1 Wendy.
2nd Vote...
2 Wendy.
3rd Vote...
2 Wendy, 1 Bob.
4th Vote...
And the fourth person voted out of Survivor : Ethiopia...
4 Wendy, 1 Bob.
Wendy stood up from her seat, then looked at the tribe.
Wendy - I love you guys. I don't care you all voted for me, I will be rooting for you. I really want someone from this tribe to win this game. Artis, you are adorable. Bob, sorry for voting you, it was totally random. Tina, girl, you are amazing. Cassandra, você é minha favorita, sempre foi!
While the tribe were waving their goodbyes, Wendy got her torch and walked up to Jeff, presenting him her torch.
Jeff Probst - Wendy, tribe has spoken!
He snuffed her torch, and she left tribal. Jeff stared at the tribe.
Jeff Probst - You guys are now down to four players, which is half the opposite tribe. I hope for you that you can turn this around, because you have 27 days left to play. Grab torches, head back to camp!
Everyone stood up and walked out of tribal council.
FINAL WORDS
Wendy was telling her final words after her elimination.Final Words Wendy -
That sucks. I really wanted to last longer than this, but alright, I will keep rooting for my tribe. I think I did everything I could but it's not an easy game when you are stuck in tribe that never wins. I wish them all the best. I dont think they will start winning anything but I want them to. Good luck and byeeeee!
