Posts: 6 03/25/12 05:03 AM Reply Quote More Recent Posts	Foreword: Giving this a shot. I used to host ORGs and got sick of all the whining, so I'm taking the real people out of the equation. I really just want to get my ideas out there. Check out the cast, lemme know what you think below. Everything is planned to a tee at this point, it's just a matter of putting it into words and formatting in the right way. I can say I probably won't be making any posts outside of this thread, but I'll do my best to answer any questions and reply to any comments posted here. Feel free to post your opinions, predictions, and if you're following along, I want you to let me know. Any feedback is appreciated. The idea for this season has been floating around in my head for awhile, long enough ago that I had been referring to it as "Survivor: Micronesia" in my head before S16 was a thing... so I changed the name to Kosrae. I'm new to writing Survivor fan fic, and I haven't read much of it aside from a few just to get an idea of how it's done, but I've been a diehard fan of the show since the first season, I'm a pretty decent writer, and as I said, I hosted Survivor ORGs for several years... so I can assure you that I know what I'm talking about. Logo was made by me. Cast pics are all stock photos, so none of the names used are actually the names of the people in the pictures. It's long, but I'd encourage you to read through the bios to get an understanding of the characters and their personalities. With all that said, allow me to introduce the cast and first "promo", of sorts, for Survivor: Kosrae: _____________________________________________ This season, Survivor returns to the South Pacific with an all-new group of castaways eager to fight for the million-dollar prize. Amid the crystal-clear waters of Kosrae, one of the four Federated States of Micronesia, 21 contestants - more than ever before - will be marooned in nothing but their street clothes, and given limited survival supplies. They're a diverse bunch, and there are a lot of them - but that's not all that's different about this season, says host Jeff Probst. This group of Survivors is going to be treated to an opening that could determine the course of the game. Jeff Probst: This season, we're trying something a little different. From the get-go, these guys are gonna be left completely in the dark - no tribes, no directions, just a quick "hello" from me and then they're off to survive the elements. We've tried this before, in Palau and in Fiji, but this is different, and I think people are going to be pleasantly surprised with the direction we've taken. A big theme in this season's opening moments is going to be first impressions. Who do you get along with? Who rubs you the wrong way? Who's a hard worker? We rarely give the players an opportunity to see each other in action before the game truly begins, at least in their minds. This is going to be one of those interesting opportunities. Probst (cont.): And the cast this season... we've got a pretty diverse group. They come from everywhere across the country, from New York to Los Angeles, from Seattle to Maine, and everywhere in between. Coincidentally, the oldest contestant and the youngest this season are both huge fans of the show, the latter of whom is actually the youngest player we've ever had. The kid's 18, he just graduated high school last year. On top of that we've got a middle school gym teacher, a guy who does open-heart surgery, and a car mechanic from Alabama. It's a huge group, but they're pretty unique. I was worried that 21 might be too much, but I don't think that's the case. *Without further ado, it's time to introduce the 21 castaways competing for the title of Sole Survivor this season on Survivor: Kosrae!* Alyssa Bio [+] ALYSSA VASSILEV Age: 24 Hometown: Portland, ME Occupation: Nature Photographer Alyssa is no stranger to being outside. When she was 13 years old, her grandmother introduced her to the outdoors, and she discovered what would become her lifelong passion in photographing the beautiful Maine coastline. She now works as a freelance landscape photographer, and her work has been featured in both local and national magazine publications. Describing herself as "a bit of a feminist", Alyssa can't stand being treated like she's helpless, or having her decisions made for her by a man. She believes her strong will, intelligence, and resilience will help her get to the end and win the million dollars. Alyssa Says: They might as well just write me the million dollar check right now. I can take anything this game throws at me. I’ve got the survival aspect down; I’m a strong woman, a real outdoorsy kind of girl. I'm determined to show this island what I'm made of. Probst's Take: Alyssa will have to learn to keep her mouth shut if she wants to win this game. I think she has what it takes to go far, but at the same time, she's very, very full of herself. Her mind is always working, always observing...if she keeps her opinions in check, she might have something going. Brett Bio [+] BRETT GALLAGHER Age: 18 Hometown: Long Beach, CA Occupation: College Student At 18 years old, Brett is the youngest Survivor contestant to ever play the game, a fact which he knows well. He's also a dedicated fan who has seen every episode, and has waited for years to be old enough to apply. Currently an undergraduate student at the University of California, Los Angeles, Brett hopes to win the million dollars to support his education. He calls himself personable, ambitious, and often underestimated, three traits that he hopes will help him in the game. In terms of how he approaches Survivor, he says he doesn't want to come across as a villain, but that if he needs to sacrifice his integrity to get himself further, he'll be more than happy to do so. Brett currently lives and studies in Los Angeles with his girlfriend of two years, Christine. Brett Says: Survivor is one part social and one part strategic mindgame; sometimes they overlap. I need to make these people believe that I've got their best interests at heart - I need to be friends with everyone. And I can't reveal too much about myself from the start. Probst's Take: Brett's the youngest player we've ever had. And that could work for him or against him, depending on how he uses it. He knows this game - he's smart, he's good-looking, and if he plays the right cards at the right time, Brett could go deep...but his first impression will be crucial. Chris Bio [+] CHRIS DUBOIS Age: 26 Hometown: New York, NY Occupation: Computer Repair Technician Born and raised in New York City, Chris is a city boy at heart. While studying for his bachelor's degree in computer science at Columbia University, Chris did a year abroad studying in France, and speaks French fluently, in addition to four other languages, excluding English. Growing up, Chris says, he was always bullied relentlessly for being different. He has always been interested in computers and currently works as a computer repairman at an independent technology store in Manhattan. He says his striking intelligence is his greatest skill, but he knows that he is socially awkward, and extremely self-conscious, which could hurt him in a game like Survivor. Chris's hobbies include playing video games, especially World of Warcraft, computer programming, and playing with his two cats, Kirky and Spock. Chris Says: I’m going out here to prove to myself that I don’t need to be the loner, the loser, the kid the bullies always pick on. I’m almost 27 and I’m still very insecure about myself. I think my best asset is my brain and I intend to use it. Probst's Take: Most of the men we have this season are pretty athletic, and Chris is anything but. He'll be hard-pressed to fit in with some of the alpha-male types. I think he spends a lot more time around computers than he does around people. Dawna Bio [+] DAWNA NELSON Age: 53 Hometown: Cleveland, OH Occupation: Accountant Dawna has worked for the same firm as an accountant for the past 20 years, but she says her life's achievement is becoming a grandmother of two. She is very motherly by nature, and she loves her family. Last year, her husband was diagnosed with a serious heart condition, and she says his strength and perseverance inspire her every day. Dawna is a long-time fan of Survivor, and says that while she will be a mother to her fellow tribemates when they need it, she's not going to let them take advantage of her. She exercises frequently and leads a very healthy lifestyle, which she believes will help her to survive the elements. She describes herself as caring, energetic, and fun-loving, and firmly believes that it's time for an older woman like her to take home the million dollar prize. Dawna Says: I love Survivor. I've seen every episode, and I know I have what it takes! I just hope these young kids don't underestimate me...I've seen what can happen to us older folks out here, and that's not me. I'm in it to win it! Probst's Take: Dawna is an older lady, but don't let her age fool you. She knows the game inside and out, she's studied it for years. She actually applied four or five times. I think she's got a lot of fight in her and that people are going to see a very mischevious side to her personality. Definite candidate to win, if her tribe is willing to give her a chance. Elias Bio [+] ELIAS GOLDENSTONE Age: 23 Hometown: Los Angeles, CA Occupation: Model Elias is used to attracting attention. Growing up as an only child to extremely wealthy parents, Elias started modeling at the age of 16 after he was scouted while working at a clothing store. Since then, he has traveled all across America, Australia, and Europe modeling for various agencies, and dropped out of high school in his graduation year to pursue his modeling career. He describes himself as strong, fearless, and handsome, although he admits that he may be a bit of a narcissist, which could annoy some of his fellow castaways. In his free time, Elias likes to surf, work out, and spend time at the beach. He says he'll have no problem using his charm to get people on his side and work his way to the end to claim his million dollars. Elias Says: I'm looking around at these other guys and thinking, "I can beat him" about all of them. None of them have my looks or my physicality...they should be shaking in their boots. I’m ready to show them how it’s done… Bring it on! Probst's Take: Elias likes to irk people, and for that reason he's Tribal Council gold. He might just be the most conceited competitor we've ever had on this show. He’s extremely charismatic, but his attitude toward other people really sucks. If his tribe ever figures out that he’s as cocky as he is, well, he could be in for a surprise. Ellie Bio [+] ELLIE WEAR Age: 40 Hometown: Pine Bluff, AK Occupation: Physical Education Teacher Middle school gym teacher Ellie Wear is strong and disciplined, both mentally and physically. She keeps herself in unbelievable shape, because she believes that in order to be a role model for her students, she needs to lead by example and maintain a healthy lifestyle. On top of the teenagers she works with at school, Ellie is a proud mom of four, and balancing work and home, she says, is exhausting but rewarding. In terms of the game of Survivor, she compares herself to Stephenie LaGrossa of Palau, Guatemala, and Heroes vs. Villains, because of what she calls a "badass attitude", and because "she's not afraid to work hard for what she believes in". In what little free time she has, Ellie enjoys jogging, swimming, playing racquetball, and watching slasher films. Optimistic and determined, Ellie knows she has what it takes to win the game. Ellie Says: I'm a mother of four kids, and I teach seventh-grade gym, so I’m no stranger to having to be a motivator. I think I’m definitely a leader, or at least I've been bred into one by circumstance. You don't deal with that many kids on a daily basis without learning to develop some kind of leadership ability. Probst's Take: Ellie's one of the best-looking 40-year-olds I think I've ever seen. She's a mom, but don't let that fool you into thinking she's soft - this girl is tough as nails. She's going to be a real asset around camp, but also a big threat in the challenges. Ian Bio [+] IAN HALTER Age: 35 Hometown: Cincinnati, OH Occupation: Cardiac Surgeon Ever since he was 15 years old and his uncle told him about his career as a surgeon, Ian has wanted to work in medicine. He says that helping someone to overcome a severe illness and regain their quality of life is a feeling like nothing else. Having done his undergraduate studies at Yale University, Ian went to medical school at McGill University in Montreal, Canada, where he met his wife, Dr. Melissa Cloutier, and lived there for a few years following his graduation. He is a dual citizen of both the United States and Canada, and is fluent in English, French, and Mandarin Chinese. He says that he hates people who are lazy or unambitious, and describes himself as assertive, loyal, and outgoing. He hopes that his life experience will help him adapt to the survival environment and blaze the way to the end of the game. Ian Says: I believe that to get respect, you have to give respect. Survivor is a game that has historically been dominated by trickery, and I personally want no part in that. My strategy is to gain my tribe’s respect by proving that I am an asset, and inevitably make my way to the end without sacrificing my integrity. Probst's Take: Dr. Ian Halter is a respected surgeon. He's very used to being in charge, and I think he expects to step out onto the beach and immediately be looked up to in the same way he is in the operating room, which may not be as likely as he thinks. But Ian has charisma, he’s a fantastic speaker and he’s very persuasive. He can potentially use that to his advantage. Janine Bio [+] JANINE WORTHEN Age: 34 Hometown: Chicago, IL Occupation: Marketing Director Janine has always had her sights set on success. An accomplished businesswoman, she graduated at the top of her MBA class at the University of Chicago's Booth School of Business, and currently works as the director of marketing at a large Chicago firm. A self-declared career woman, Janine doesn't want any kids, because she says they would only get in the way of achieving the goals that she wants to pursue. She describes herself as creative, confident, and ruthless. Janine loves to travel on her time off, and has been to more than 50 different countries on five of the seven continents. She believes that her skill set is perfect for the Survivor island, and her driven, motivated personality is what will help her get to the end. Janine Says: I work in a cut-throat corporate environment every day of my life; no doubt in my mind, this will be cake for me. I can slice through these people like butter. Move over, Parvati, there’s a new queen of this game about to be crowned. Probst's Take: Janine is all business, and she owns it. She's sexy, but I wouldn't want to cross her, because she's got a sharp tongue and she's extremely quick-witted. I think Janine's experience in the corporate world will translate very well onto Survivor. She could bowl over any of these other girls – or any of the guys, for that matter. Jen Bio [+] JENNIFER "JEN" FIELDS Age: 26 Hometown: Los Angeles, CA Occupation: Bartender Jen is a spunky, fun-loving, outgoing young woman who intends to use her athleticism and competitive nature to take her as far as she can go. She's seen her fair share of Survivor, and thinks she has a good idea of how to play this game: she says she has "the social skills of Parvati, the tenacity of Andrea, and just a pinch of Russell’s deviousness…a winning Survivor cocktail". Although she acknowledges that her competitiveness could be a hindrance as well as an asset. She has always loved playing team sports, and in her spare time she does rock climbing, writes poetry, and started taking acting classes last year, with hopes of breaking into Hollywood eventually. She says her mom is her inspiration in life, and if she were to win the million dollars, she would take her mother on a cruise to the Greek islands, where they have both always wanted to go. Jen Says: I'm mentally and physically ready for this. I know I'm capable of surviving the elements. I’m a pretty easygoing person and I don’t think anyone will suspect how devious I can be. I’m all about the game, baby – I’m not out here to make friends. Probst's Take: Jen is in it to win it, and she's very competitive. Another one of my favorites to win; she's confident but not so much as to be overbearing. Definitely, definitely, definitely going to be a huge player in this game. Jodi Bio [+] JODI LIONEL Age: 21 Hometown: Tampa, FL Occupation: Swimsuit Model For years, Jodi says, she's known how to manipulate men to do what she wants. She loves to be the center of attention, which comes in handy at work, where she models bathing suits. Although she currently does modeling, she says her passion is in fashion design, and her ultimate goal in life would be to see her designs featured on a runway show. Currently living in Miami, Jodi's hobbies are doing yoga, listening to music, and hanging out with her girlfriends at the beach. With regard to Survivor, she admits that facing the elements may be more difficult than she expects. Describing herself as flirtatious, easy-going, and excitable, she hopes that those traits can help her overcome her competitors and outwit her way to the million dollars. Jodi Says: I probably come across pretty one-dimensional, but that couldn’t be further from the truth. I fully intend to use it to my advantage, though. I want to play the dumb girl, the prom queen who needs a strong man to guide me and be my prince. Because after all, that strong man could guide me right to the end… Probst's Take: This girl is probably one of the most stunningly beautiful women ever to play the game of Survivor. She’ll have the guys wrapped around her finger within the first few days if she wants to. Jodi’s problem will be avoiding conflict with the other women, especially the older women, who are a lot sharper than she is and who will figure out what she’s up to pretty fast. John Bio [+] JOHN CALLAHAN Age: 48 Hometown: Ford City, PA Occupation: Furniture Store Owner Family man John personifies the average guy. Dividing his time between the demanding job of operating a busy furniture store and keeping track of his two kids at home, he tries to find time between all of that to keep himself in good shape, which he thinks he is, for a man who's almost 50 years old. He can't stand anyone who manipulates the emotions of others to get their way, and that kind of immorality is something he wants to avoid during his time on the island. He calls himself respectful, positive, and honest, qualities which he hopes others will be able to relate to. Although not intensely religious, he says he comes from a Catholic family and believes in God, who he hopes will lend him a helping hand while he's on Survivor. John Says: I’m the long shot, the old guy, the father of two with family values at heart. I don’t want to step on anyone's toes. I've seen enough Survivor to know that people like me don't last very long… hopefully I can change that stereotype. Probst's Take: John has a lot more life experience than any of the other men out here. He's very charming, a real family man. I think his tribe would benefit from his wisdom; he’s very fatherly, not too pushy, and he has a good grasp of the game. It's just a question of whether his tribe wants those qualities or not. The first few days will be crucial for John. If he's in, then he's in. If he's on the outs, he could easily be one of the first to go. Juan Bio [+] JUAN RIVERA Age: 24 Hometown: San Francisco, CA Occupation: Waiter Originally from Colombia, Juan was adopted by a foster family in San Francisco when he was just four years old, having emigrated with his parents who were deemed unprepared and incapable of taking care of him due to their financial difficulty. Having since reunited with his mother and father, Juan looks at his past as an experience that has helped to shape the person that he is. A silent person by nature, Juan works out daily and is extremely athletic. He plays baseball, surfs, and swims competitively. Describing himself as persevering and dedicated, Juan doesn't like lazy people, or anyone who isn't willing to work hard. Having overcome adversity in his own life, he spends time volunteering with the poor to pass on some of the good fortune that he feels he has had. He hopes to use his physical prowess to win the game, acknowledging that is where his greatest strengths lie. Juan Says: My strength lies in my physicality. I won’t pretend to be conniving and strategic. I need to work hard, observe, and keep myself out of the way. People might perceive me as a threat and I certainly wouldn’t want that. Probst's Take: Juan has had a tough go. He immigrated to the US from Colombia when he was 4 years old to live with a foster family, and a poverty-stricken one at that. He needs the money, and his heart is in the right place. Mona Bio [+] MONA NEWMAN Age: 25 Hometown: Los Angeles, CA Occupation: Hotel Receptionist Mona says that what has driven her to be on Survivor is a latent sense of adventure. At 25 years old, she has never spent any time outside of the Los Angeles city limits, and admits that she wouldn't know where to even start if she had to make a fire, catch a fish, or even pitch a tent. She says her inspiration in life comes from the music of pop star Katy Perry, who she admires for her originality, spontaneity, and talent. She loves to shop, relax by her indoor pool, and go clubbing in the evening. Working as a receptionist, she says, has caused her to develop great patience and people skills, and she wants to use those skills to make strong bonds with her fellow castaways. She says she's fun, exciting, and energetic, and can't stand people who think they're better than they are. Mona Says: I’m from Los Angeles, I’ve lived here all my life, and I’ve never left the city before… except for one time when I flew to San Francisco because my aunt died. So this adventure has been 25 years in the making! I’m really excited to see the world. Probst's Take: This poor girl has no idea what she's getting into. Mona is going to be a fish out of water out here. Her lack of knowledge and utter obliviousness to just about everything is almost adorable. But people are going to get sick of coddling her pretty fast. I will be shocked if she makes it past Day 6, if she doesn't accidentally float out to sea with the tide before then. Nash Bio [+] NASHVILLE "NASH" CASHWOOD Age: 22 Hometown: Nashville, TN Occupation: Country Musician Although it sounds like a stage name, and probably could be, Nashville was named so by two parents who grew up in the capital of country and were so proud, they had to show it. Although he used to be teased for his name, Nash says he's embraced it over time, and that its uniqueness has helped him establish himself as a musician. He was taught how to play the guitar by his uncle when he was only seven years old, and it has turned into a passion for music that he is trying to turn into a career. He admires anyone who follows their dreams and achieves their goals against all odds. He calls himself motivated, hard-working, and determined, and believes his wit, smile, and Southern charm will help him win the million dollars. Nash Says: I believe I can do this. I'm a little intimidated, but I don't wanna let them know that. I gotta use all my skills, I gotta treat this like just another audition. I'm going in with my head held high. I'm maybe not as mature or as smart as some of these people, but I've got heart. Probst's Take: Nashville - yes, that's his real name - is all country. He comes from the capital of country music and he owns it like he should. He’s a good kid, he’s got morals. But I get the feeling that it wouldn't take much to sway those morals. He's very gullible, very malleable. He should be wary, for his own sake, that nobody takes him for a ride and makes him into a disposable pawn, because he's a quiet dude, and that could happen to him pretty easily. Nathan Bio [+] NATHAN WINTER Age: 29 Hometown: Boston, MA Occupation: Sports Promoter Nathan Winter grew up in Boston, went to college in California, spent three years in Australia, and returned to the United States to begin a career in sports promotion. His greatest attribute, he says, is his sense of humor. He says he wants to use his light-heartedness to relieve the tension of being stuck on an island for 39 days with the same people, and he would rather tell jokes than lies. But he won't be afraid to play hardball if it comes down to it. He says he's funny, mischievous, and kind-hearted. He played soccer all through college, and still keeps it up as a hobby, as well as reading, video games, and playing the guitar. Before being cast on Survivor, Nathan said he would never want to be a part of a reality TV show, but he's looking forward to the experience and the adventure of a lifetime. Nathan Says: The hardest part for me will be taking everything so seriously. If I wasn't a promoter I would have gone into stand-up comedy for sure... I just try to make people laugh, it's how I communicate. But I've seen enough of this show to know that you can't just come in here, crack a few jokes, make some friends, and walk away with a million bucks. It doesn't work like that. Those people never get to the end. Probst's Take: Nate could win it all. He's hilarious and likable. He's got a good head on his shoulders. He's physically capable, and he could fit in with pretty much any group of people he wanted to. He reminds me of a less demonic Johnny Fairplay. It would surprise me to see Nathan gone pre-merge, unless he does something really stupid. Portia Bio [+] PORTIA DELGADO Age: 23 Hometown: Seattle, WA Occupation: Paralegal Peruvian princess Portia Delgado was born and raised in Seattle, but her parents moved to the US from Peru while her mother was still pregnant with her. As such, Portia grew up in a household where Spanish was the language spoken most of the time, and learned to speak English fluently by the time she was twelve. After graduating from high school, she moved to pursue a career in theater in New York, but ultimately ended up going to college and is now working as a paralegal. She describes herself as opinionated, somewhat cynical, and feisty. She has a general zest for life and carefree attitude that she says people will love, both on the island and at home, and which will help her achieve her goal of being the Sole Survivor. Portia Says: I'm gonna be a bitch, but I'll be America's bitch. I tell it like it is. But people love that... I'm a lovable bitch. It bugs me when people come on this show and say "Oh, I'm gonna be honest, I'm gonna be nice to everyone", because that's not what it's about. Probst's Take: Portia will tell you what she thinks about everything at any given time. The chances of Portia winning the game are very slim. Her physical strength isn't very impressive, and unless she can learn how to keep her mouth firmly shut, she's going to end up pissing somebody off eventually. Maybe she won't be the first one out, but she certainly won't be the last one standing. Ruby Bio [+] RUBY JEWELL Age: 30 Hometown: Albuquerque, NM Occupation: Hairdresser Ruby's sassy attitude and vivacious personality are two things she says will win over her fellow tribemates. Born and raised in New Mexico, Ruby currently works as a hairstylist and aesthetician in Los Angeles, and has aspirations of opening her own salon someday. She says she is willing to do whatever it takes to get to the end and win the million dollars, which would help put her on her way to achieving her goal. Having just separated from her fiance of two years, Ruby is out to prove that she is a strong, independent woman. She describes herself as smart, spunky, and adventurous. In her spare time, she sings with a local gospel choir and loves to cook and try new recipes. She prides herself with great communication skills, and says she can get along with anyone. Ruby Says: In my job, I have to perfect the first time. I can't pick the hair up off the floor and start again. In Survivor, I gotta approach this kinda the same way. The people I become friends with need to be the right ones, the ones I can trust. I gotta be meticulous about who I hook up with. Probst's Take: Ruby is a question mark in a lot of ways. She has a spunky attitude that may get on some people's nerves. With that said, Ruby might surprise people with how well she can work them to get what she wants. Rusty Bio [+] KELLAND "RUSTY" MCGUINTY Age: 22 Hometown: Gadsden, AL Occupation: Auto Mechanic Rusty knew from the time he first saw the inside of a car that he wanted to be a mechanic. The problem-solving skills he's developed in his job, he says, will help him to keep a level head while he's on Survivor. Rusty says his passion in life is his family, and he is inspired by his parents and their dedication to him and his siblings. He wants to prove that he can play and win this game without lying, or cheating, or stabbing anyone in the back. He describes himself as honest, hard-working, and stubborn. If he were to win the million dollars, he says he would give some to his family, and give most of the rest of it to charity. Rusty Says: I know that I can do this. My plan is to be myself. I think I'm pretty likable, I generally get along with a lot of people. Maybe I'm old-fashioned, but I think I can win this game without tellin' any lies. I just gotta get with the right group. Probst's Take: No season of Survivor would be complete without the good ol' boy from the South. Rusty's very genuine, very trustworthy and likable. Physically he's very capable; Rusty's problem will be aligning with people who might take advantage of him and his honest, down-home values. Tess Bio [+] TESS ENGLISH Age: 21 Hometown: Raleigh, NC Occupation: Harvard Honors Student Although she comes across as bookish and studious, Tess English says her fiercely competitive nature is what got her admitted to Harvard, and what will help her to take home Survivor's top prize. A Harvard student in her third year of study, Tess says that it's not natural intelligence that has gotten her to where she is in her life, although that definitely helped. She says her loyalty and determination are her greatest strengths. When she's not studying, Tess is an avid gamer and can be found screaming at her television into the early hours of the morning, playing her Xbox 360 - although she refuses to define herself as a "gamer chick". Social, diligent, and indefatigable are words she uses to describe her personality, demonstrating what is obviously a fairly extensive vocabulary, as well. Tess says she's in this game to win, and she won't settle for second place. Tess Says: I'm excited to get out there and get started. I'm a little worried about the survival aspect, because I haven't really been camping that much, or spent a lot of time outdoors. I spend a lot of time with my head buried in a textbook. Probst's Take: Harvard honors student Tess will have a hard time convincing her tribe to keep her in the early days of the game, when physical strength is so important. But past that point, she's clever enough to stay out of the way, and likable enough to win. I like Tess. Vince Bio [+] VINCE PAGE Age: 30 Hometown: Indianapolis, IN Occupation: Building Contractor Having played football in high school and college, Vince knows that his physicality and athleticism is his best attribute. His football career ended when he dropped out of Purdue University, and he now works in construction. He's not worried about his muscularity making him appear to be a threat on the island, and is confident that his strength will be to his advantage. He describes himself as strong, confident, and outspoken. He admits that he can often come across somewhat overbearing. His hobbies include playing football with his friends, partying, working out at the gym, and hanging out at home with his Newfoundland dog, Rex. Vince Says: Bro, this game has never seen anything like me before. I'm gonna crush the rest of these pussies before they even see me coming. Nobody can beat me in any of these challenges... no way. It ain't gonna happen. Probst's Take: Vince has no charisma at all, and I think he probably sticks his foot in his mouth a lot. But his sheer size will intimidate a lot of people...and I think he's got a lot to work on socially or he'll be a goner. Zack Bio [+] ZACK BILLET Age: 24 Hometown: Rochester, NY Occupation: Law Student Zack is a student in law school at Syracuse University whose life changed completely about a year ago when he came out as gay to his friends, his family... and his girlfriend of five years. His entire family has been extremely supportive, and his now ex-girlfriend was very understanding, but he is still working to understand the person he has become because of it. Determined to keep his personal details a secret from his fellow castaways, he intends to tell as few people as possible about his sexuality, not because he is embarrassed by it but because he doesn't want it to affect their judgment of his character. He describes himself as clever, calculating, and realistic. When he's not studying hard toward his education, Zack likes to play sports, go jogging, and is currently in the process of working toward his black belt in judo. Zack believes he has the strategy, the motivation, and the intelligence necessary to take him to the end of the game and the title of Sole Survivor. Zack Says: I'm here to win. I'll do whatever I have to do to get to the end. I don't think anyone's going to be threatened by the skinny guy who keeps his mouth shut most of the time, but it's what they don't know I'm doing that they need to be worried about. Probst's Take: Zack is shrewd. Just talking to him you feel like he's hiding something. I think people will have a hard time trusting Zack, and that will be his downfall. He's a fan, but that does not by any means make him a winner - that he has to prove. _____________________________________________ So there's the cast, post your thoughts, if you're interested in following, who you like, who you don't like, etc. Sorry about the massive post/wall of text, I'm generally a pretty long-winded person, so expect lots of writing.

Posts: 6 03/31/12 12:19 AM Reply Quote More Recent Posts	Okay, this first episode is pretty long... but consider it "double-length". They won't all be like this. Just give it a chance... you might be surprised. SURVIVOR: KOSRAE EPISODE ONE: "Like a Bunch of Stupid Sheep" _____________________ Jeff Probst: We're flying high over one of the world's most beautiful natural wonders, the crystalline waters near Kosrae, one of the four Federated States of Micronesia. Located amidst the idyllic waters of the South Pacific, the enigmatic Micronesian archipelago is bestowed with flourishing jungles, glistening beaches, and the remnants of a tribal antiquity. These island jewels are perhaps some of the most beautiful in the world - and they are about to serve as the battleground for an epic power struggle. (A group of people is shown walking along a trail) Far below, 21 people are trekking through the dense rainforest on their way to an undisclosed location. They are all strangers, coming from different walks of life, about to be abandoned wearing nothing but their street clothes. Nash (confessional): I play music for a living. It ain't easy. This is a once-in-a-lifetime chance to win a million bucks... I ain't gonna screw it up. I need this. Janine (confessional): I am the director of marketing at one of the biggest firms in Chicago. For me it's not about the money. I'm ready for an adventure that will challenge me. I'm here to win! Brett (confessional): First and foremost, I'm a huge Survivor fan. I'm also the youngest person to play this game. Ever. I have a lot to prove to myself and to the rest of these people. Probst: They will be forced to work together to create a new society, while battling the elements, and each other. They must learn to adapt, or they will be voted out of the tribe. In the end, only one will remain to claim the million dollar prize. Jen (confessional): This is my time to shine. I can feel it. Physically, mentally... I'm here. I'm ready. I can survive whatever this island throws at me. Probst: 39 Days. 21 People. One... SURVIVOR! (Intro plays, cut to overhead shot of the castaways continuing to trek through the jungle) Ellie (confessional): We had no idea where we were headed. We'd been walking for miles. I could hear the ocean but I didn't know what direction that was (laughs). I mean, we're on an island. Nathan: Hey, you guys, I think we lost the path... Nathan (confessional): Here we are, none of us have ever spoken before, and I think a lot of people are pretty tentative at the moment. We really don't know where the hell we're supposed to be going. (Alyssa* is shown helping Jen untangle her shoelace from a protruding root)* Alyssa (confessional): It looks like there are a lot of really strong women in this group. That’s both a blessing and a curse. I’m an outdoorsy kind of chick… I want to be the girl that everyone sees catching fish, building the fire, getting my hands dirty. I might have some competition out here. (Dawna* is shown looking around at the jungle as she walks)* Dawna (confessional): I feel like I'm in a... a dream or something right now. I'm an accountant from Cleveland, I feel completely out of my element here in the jungle. But I love Survivor! I love this game so much. I'm so excited to get started. (Vince* and Nathan are shown working together to move a fallen tree out of the way of the path, then shaking hands)* Vince: Hey, nice one, bro. I'm Vince. What's your name? Nathan: I'm Nate, I'm from Boston. Vince: Hey, I lived in Boston for a few years when I was in middle school. What do you do for a living? Jen (confessional): Even though we're still in one big group, people are already making connections. You can see it happening. My goal is to just observe for now... I don't wanna get too buddy-buddy just yet. Ian: Hey, folks, I see the ocean up ahead! (Group cheers) _____________________ (The castaways are shown emerging from the jungle onto a beach, where Jeff Probst is standing alone, grinning widely. The 21 castaways form a semi-circle around Jeff) Probst: Welcome to *Survivor: Kosrae. (Group cheers again)* Probst: You guys ready to get started? (Some castaways nod) Probst: All right. There are 21 of you – that’s a lot. Those of you who follow this show already know, that’s more than we’ve ever had before. You guys have just hiked eight miles through thick tropical jungle. I’m sure you’ve already gotten to know each other pretty well just based on that experience alone – but just in case, let's get some names going. Girl in the pink, we'll start on your end. What's your name, what do you do? Mona: My name's Mona, I'm a receptionist. Probst: Big guy in the white shirt, beside Mona. (Vince* and Nathan introduce themselves)* Probst: Lady in the suit! Janine: My name is Janine, and I work in marketing. Janine (confessional): I could eat these kids for breakfast. I have no intention of playing nice. I'll do whatever it takes; I'll stab anyone in the back. I'm just here to show them what I'm made of. To play this game the way it's meant to be played, and maybe make an extra million along the way. Probst: Tall guy in the plaid! Nash: Hey folks... My name's Nashville. I'm a musician. Probst: Wait a minute… Nashville? Really? Nashville: (laughs) Yes sir. Everyone calls me Nash. My parents are pretty proud of their hometown. Probst: I'd say you're right about that. Next person. John: John Callahan. I run a furniture store. Probst: Blonde lady next to John. Ellie: Hey guys, I'm Ellie, I teach seventh-grade gym, and I'm a proud mom of four. (Portia* is shown rolling her eyes)* Portia (confessional): (mockingly) "I'm a proud mom, I love my kids, guess how many kids I have"... Really, people? You're on Survivor and you're gonna talk about your kids? Probst: Next up, pretty girl in the white tank top. Portia: Hey everyone, I'm Portia. I'm a paralegal in New York, originally from Seattle. Portia (confessional): (cont.) Portia Delgado is definitely an acquired taste. (laughs) Just looking around at this group, I can see they’re a bunch happy-go-lucky, puppies and rainbows kind of people. It’s all so fake. But they'll learn to love me. Probst: Guy with the long hair. (Juan, Rusty, Zack, and Dawna* are introduced)* Probst: Next up, guy in the black button-up shirt. Brett: Hey guys, I'm Brett, I work in retail. Brett (confessional): I'm actually in college, but I have a lot to hide. I'm only 18, and I know this game a lot better than I intend to let on. I don't want to stick out. If I single myself out too early, that's just one more thing someone can use against me. Probst: Guy in the stripes next to Brett! Elias: I'm Elias, I'm a full-time model from L.A. Probst: Next up, blonde girl. Tess: I'm Tess, I'm a student at Harvard. Ian: (man to Tess’s left) Whoa, I did my undergrad at Yale! (laughs) Hopefully we don't get too violent. Probst: And you are? Ian: Dr. Ian Halter, I'm a cardiac surgeon. Ian (confessional): Maybe people might think it's not wise for me to reveal my profession. They might think, "he doesn't need the money". And really, I don't. But I'm here to be myself, and what I do is a huge part of that. Hopefully they can learn to respect what my profession brings to the table rather than judge me for it. Probst: Girl with the sunglasses! (Alyssa, Ruby, and Jen* are introduced)* Jodi: Hey, I'm Jodi... I'm a swimsuit model. (Brett* smirks and nudges Elias, who grins and nods)* Elias: (whisper) I wouldn't mind getting to know her a little better. Probst: And finally, last, but not least. On the end! Chris: My name is Chris, I'm a computer repair technician. Chris (confessional): I'm a huge nerd. I'm looking around at all these guys and girls, most of them wouldn't give me a second look in real life. I know I'm going to have a hard time fitting in. Probst: So now you know each other’s names. You know what everyone does for a living – or at least what they say they do. I certainly hope you've been paying attention. Until further notice, you will remain as one group of 21, living on this beach. (Several cast members look surprised) Zack (confessional): When Jeff said we would be living together, I wasn’t really sure what to think. It makes my job a lot harder. 21 people are a lot harder to keep track of than a tribe of 9 or 10. Probst: Work together. Build your society. But bear in mind that this game is ever-changing; and the first impression you leave is very important. It could even determine your ultimate fate in this game. You have been supplied with the necessities to build an acceptable camp, right here. Get to know each other even better. You've got about four hours left until sundown - make the best of it. (A boat pulls up to the beach, and with a final salute to the castaways, Jeff boards and speeds away) DAY 1 (The castaways are shown standing on the beach, breaking off into groups. Four of the men are shown standing in the jungle) Ian: So this is strange, eh? All of us at one camp. Rusty: You're tellin' me. Hey listen, man, I didn't catch your name back there. Ian: Dr. Ian Halter. And you're the mechanic, right? Rusty: That's me, my friend. Rusty (confessional): I think the big question on all of our minds is where this is going. There's 21 of us - like Jeff said, that's more than they usually have. We gotta wonder, how long are we gonna stay like this? It's a big group to deal with. Nathan: (crouched at the base of a tree) Hey, you guys! I found our stuff. We got two machetes, even some flint... Jeez, man, we've got it made. Rusty: They gave us flint? On the first day? Nathan: I know, right? Ian: You know, there's a lot of people here. We don't want this to get chaotic. Why don't we delegate so we can get more done? What are our priorities here? Vince: I'll round up some of the other guys, we'll get started on some logs for a shelter. Ian: It's Vince, right? Construction guy? Vince: Yeah, I got it covered. Ian: Perfect. And hey, dude, Nathan, right? Why don't you get some of the girls to gather some palm fronds. Nathan: Sounds good, man. Rusty: We're gonna need a lot if we're makin' shelter for 21 people. Ian: Damn, I never thought of that. Vince (confessional): We were all set and ready to go building the shelter. But we never realized... holy shit, there's a lot of us. How are we supposed to make a shelter for that many? Some people might have to sleep on the ground tonight. Nathan: Well there's a big clear space right here we can take advantage of. We move those dead logs out of the way, you'd fit all of us here easy. Even if we don't get the whole shelter together in time, there'll be plenty of room beside it, under those trees. Rusty: That's cool, but I don't wanna be the one to tell somebody they gotta sleep in the dirt (laughs) Ian: We'll cross that bridge when we get to it. I think right now our main goal is to do what we can to get something to sleep under together, in case it rains. We've got that flint already, so fire shouldn't be too much of an issue. Nathan: Right. I'll go talk to the girls on the beach about the fronds. Nathan (confessional): I like this group of four guys a lot. Maybe it's too early, but I think we could work well together. I'd like to see how far we can go. Ian's a strong leader, and I get along with Vince really well, and Rusty's a pretty straight-shooting kind of guy. And we're all very athletic... I like our chances. (Ellie* and Tess are shown emerging from behind the trees)* Ellie: Hey guys, we got water! Rusty: Hey, nice work, ladies! Tess (confessional): It felt great to get here and get started. I think we were all so excited once we hit the beach, we didn't really know what to do with ourselves. Everybody was kind of running around like a bunch of stupid sheep... Productive sheep, but farm animals nonetheless. There was very little direction. (Various shots of people working are shown. Brett, Zack, Chris and Elias are carrying logs along the beach, Dawna and Alyssa are collecting firewood, and John is breaking a coconut) John (confessional): We're very fortunate to have the natural resources we do. These coconuts are everywhere, there's some kind of tropical fruit growing out back, and the well is very close. And the young guys are doing a fantastic job getting our shelter under way. I think we're just golden. _____________________ (Later, Vince, Nathan, Rusty, Zack, and Brett* are shown working on the shelter)* Vince: If we get this frame in place, we should be good to go from there. (Jodi* and Jen show up with a large pile of prepared palm fronds for the shelter)* Jodi: There's your fronds, boys. Is that gonna be enough? Nathan: Jodi, my dear, that's perfect. We’re eternally grateful for your hard work. Jodi: (winking and smiling) Oh, stop it, you. Without you big strong men out here, we'd be doomed. (Nathan* laughs and shakes his head. Zack is shown rolling his eyes)* Jodi (confessional): What can I say? I’m gonna flirt. It’s almost impossible for me not to. (Jodi* is shown massaging Elias’ shoulders as he sets up a fire pit)* Jodi (confessional): (cont.) These guys are strong, they’re all pretty manly and stubborn, but before long they’re gonna get pretty desperate for female attention. I know from experience that they think with the wrong head most of the time. Clearly they like what they’re seeing, so I need to use that and give them the attention they want from me. But I mean, I’m totally playing them. I’m here to playSurvivor, I’m not here to find a boyfriend. Vince: Yo, Brett, pass me that machete there, bro. Brett: Just gimme a sec, dude, I gotta chop this thing in half. Brett (confessional): We've been here for about two hours and this monster of a shelter is finally starting to come together. We've got plenty of water, lots of coconuts ready, and Elias is getting the fire going. I think we’re a very cohesive group. I don't think we've had any crazy arguments yet. But I'm not naive enough to think it's gonna last. There's no way in hell all of us are living together for very long, as happy as most of us are at the moment. Eventually our little society is going to have to break up. (Portia* is shown standing in the middle of camp, looking over at the men and taking a long drink of water.* Vince is shown glaring at Portia) Vince (confessional): Portia hasn't lifted a manicured finger since we hit the beach. She's prancing around here like she's some kind of princess, and pretty much ignores us while we work around her. Portia: Workin' hard, there, boys! Keep it going. Some of us don't wanna sleep in the mud tonight. (Vince* grits his teeth)* Nathan: (under his breath) I'll tell you who I think should sleep in the mud tonight... _____________________ (It's almost sundown, the shelter is shown completed. Jodi, Portia, and Mona are lying in the shelter, Chris is collecting firewood, and John is standing next to the shelter digging in his bag, occasionally glancing at the girls) Mona: I feel like I'm covered in dirt already. (laughs) Portia: Girl, that’s because you are. Mona: It's getting colder, too. We're never going to get to sleep tonight. Portia: Honestly. (John* is shown lifting his gaze once again)* Portia: (quietly, under her breath) Don't think we don't see you looking at us, y'old perv... (Portia* and Mona laugh aloud)* Portia: (snorts) I guess he's probably hard up, they don't make girls like us out in backwoods Wyoming or wherever the hell he’s from. (John* narrows his eyes and looks about to say something. Jodi is shown furrowing her brow)* Jodi (confessional): I’ve been trying to like Portia... but her attitude just sucks. She kind of has no filter. Portia: Why do people like him even come out here? It's not like he has any chance of winning (laughs) Jodi (confessional): (cont.) She just says things that make you want to cringe. I guess she thinks she's being funny, but she's gonna hurt someone's feelings. I think it's going to rub people the wrong way, which is a bad idea in this game. I mean, I get along with her... I guess. but I don't know if I want myself associated with someone like that. (John* is shown walking down to the beach, where Ian is standing with Nathan)* John (confessional): Some of the girls are really getting to me. They complain about everything under the sun. Their whining is just making it even harder on themselves and everyone else. And that one with the annoying laugh, Portia... she's just downright unkind. Ian: Hey, buddy, what's up? John: Those girls... I'm not sure how I feel about them. Ian: (turning his head) Yeah. They've definitely been getting on a lot of our nerves. Nathan: Especially that one... what's her name? Paulina? John: Portia. Quite the mouth on that one. John (confessional): (cont.) I've been trying to hold my tongue. I haven’t said anything to them yet. But Portia is pure poison! She's done nothing to help out, she sits around like the rest of us are her slaves, and I don't think there's a goddamn thing she doesn't whine about. "It's too hot! I'm thirsty! I'm hungry! I'm tired!" On top of all of that she insults me, a 48-year-old man, like I'm not worth her time of day. Give it a rest, girl. She never shuts her mouth. Ian: She's annoying, that's for sure. Really just dead weight. Last Edited By: VL 04/02/12 01:43 AM. Edited 3 times.

Posts: 6 03/31/12 12:22 AM Reply Quote More Recent Posts	NIGHT 1 (Alyssa, Jen, Janine, and Zack* are sitting around the fire)* Jen: Well, it's been quite a day. Alyssa: Better believe it... and there are plenty more to come. (laughs) Janine: I wonder what tomorrow has in store for us... Zack: Hopefully some kind of all-you-can-eat buffet... (Everyone laughs) Zack (confessional): Everyone's very nervous. Jeff made a point of saying that the first impression we leave is very important. I can't speak for everybody else, but that's left me a bit on edge. I can't let my guard down even for a second. I'm trying to act as positive and happy as I can and make light of everything, but to be honest, this game is already on, and I'm worried about how the next few days are going to play out. To be honest, I'm surprised at how nonchalant people are being about it. Janine: (yawning) Well, I'm exhausted. I'm gonna go try and get some sleep. Alyssa: Good plan. I think I'll go to bed too. Good night, everybody. (Janine* and Alyssa leave Jen and Zack at the fire)* Zack: I wonder there's any room left in the shelter for them. It might not be big enough. Jen: Let 'em sleep in the dirt. (laughs) I'd be fine just sleeping right here, it's not gonna rain or anything. Zack: You say that now. Be careful, the Micronesian gods might be listening. (They laugh, then are silent for a short time) Zack: This whole situation is just very, very weird. Jen: What do you mean by that? Zack: I've been thinking about it all day. There are 21 of us, and I think - I mean, I don't know for sure, they could be throwing us for a loop - but I don't think we're going to be living on the same beach much longer. And if we divide into two even groups, that leaves one of us on the outs. Jen: You think someone's getting kicked off? Zack: I'm saying it's not impossible. Jeff said something about first impressions. We could easily be going to Tribal Council and voting someone out tomorrow night. Jen: Mhmm... I see where you're coming from. Zack (confessional): (cont.) I really like Jen. I can tell that she’s got a level head. She’s easy to talk to. I need someone like that who I can put my faith in. Jen: I wouldn't worry about it... There are definitely people I'd like to see take a hike, and you're not one of them. Today was completely chaotic, there are still people here I haven't even spoken to. Zack: It's tough. It's hard to tell if people are being genuine or not. Jen: Yeah. You really need to take everything with a grain of salt out here... it's hard to know who you can trust. (Momentary silence) Zack: Can I trust you? I think I can. You seem like a pretty cool girl. Jen: Well, I trust you. You haven't said anything to make me think otherwise. So yes, you can trust me. Zack: There’s just something I have to get off my chest. I just need to tell somebody... But I don't want it getting around, I don't want it affecting anyone's perception of me... I'm gay. Jen: Holy crap, bombshell much! I never would have guessed. (laughs) Jen (confessional): Zack shared something very personal with me, and it totally came out of left field. I really appreciate that he trusted me with his secret, but I can't help but wonder if maybe it's all a ploy to get my sympathy. I told him I trusted him, but Zack seems little shifty to me. Zack: It's not something I want to get around, especially not to the other guys. You get it, right? Jen: Yeah, I understand completely. Don't even worry about it. I won't judge. Zack: You know, I think we'd work well together. Jen: (smiling) Do I hear the first stirrings of an alliance? Zack: Well, nothing too serious. I'd wanna take you out for dinner first, buy you some flowers, see how our chemistry works... (Jen* laughs again)* Zack: But really... I can tell that you're as committed to this game as I am. Jen: Absolutely. Zack: I think we should watch each other's backs. I'd rather get to the end with someone like you than someone like... I don’t know. Someone who’s here to sit on the beach, eat some coconut, maybe make some friends… I get the feeling from you that we can really, really take this game by the horns if we apply ourselves. Jen: You got that right. Zack: I'm giving it to you straight. If we can trust each other, that's all we need, and we can find our way from there. Jen: Interesting proposal, my good sir. (laughs) I like the way you think, Zack. Zack: Glad to hear it. Jen (confessional): (cont.) I'm not sure if I trust Zack or not. With our future as uncertain as it is right now, I really need to play it smart and consider him to be more of a threat than anything. Until we divide into tribes, or whatever, this in an individual game. I'm not sure I'm ready for a committed 'alliance' just yet. I want to take some time to consider my options, and align with the right people. It would be far too risky to just jump into an alliance on the first day with the first person who comes up to you and says “let’s work together”. _____________________ DAY 2 (Early in the morning, most of the group is standing around the fire. Elias* is crouched at the fire pit trying to restore it from the embers. Ian arrives, yawning)* Ian: Morning, everybody. How did you guys sleep? (Alyssa* is shown looking concerned and annoyed)* Alyssa (confessional): Myself and Janine went back to the shelter last night to find about six other people trying to sleep on the ground beside the shelter. I say "trying" because there is no chance in hell any of them got any sleep last night. I know I sure didn't. Alyssa: I mean, it was a bit uncomfortable. The ground was pretty hard. Other than the bugs, and the dirt, and the rocks, though, I slept like a baby. Alyssa (confessional): (cont.) The boys could have at least tried to build something sufficient. That shelter would hardly fit ten people, let alone the thirteen that were crammed into it, not to mention those of us who weren't allowed in. Regardless, Janine and I slept in the dirt too. (Ian* raises his eyebrows)* Ian: Well, I'm sorry. Maybe if you had voiced your opinion that the shelter should have been bigger, we would have been able to help you. Nobody else had any problem with the way it was done, we agreed we were going to rotate night by night. Alyssa: Maybe if I had been asked for my opinion, instead of having all of you guys make the decision yourselves, without consulting me… Ian: Look, you aren't the only one who slept on the ground last night. Lots of the rest of - Alyssa: No, I’m sorry. You're right. Lots of us slept on the ground, because your shelter wasn't big enough to fit all of us like it should have been. But I'm sure that didn't bother you, because the frat pack got to sleep up off the ground, in the shelter they built together. Ian: For your information, I slept on the ground too. It was first-come-first-serve. You might have noticed me laying about three feet away from you if you hadn't been so busy bitching to Janine about having to sleep in the dirt. Alyssa: …Well, I… Ian: Like I said, it was first come, first serve. I don't think Nate slept in the shelter either. Alyssa: ...I would hardly call it bitching... (Group is awkwardly silent for a moment) Alyssa: Look, I'm just... I'm very tired, I didn't get any sleep. Rusty: Hey, we're all tired. Let's just make the best of it, okay? (Ian* shakes his head. Ellie is shown walking up to the group)* Ellie: Hey, you guys. We got treemail. Brett: Oh yeah? What’s it say? Ellie: "You've made your bed, now lie in it For this game has already begun. Before day’s end, the first torch will be snuffed. Watch your back, or yours may be the one." Jen: So does that mean we're going to Tribal Council tonight? Ellie: I dunno. That's what I took from it. Ellie (confessional): Treemail was very unsettling. It seemed to hint that we're going to have to vote someone out sooner rather than later. If we go to Tribal tonight, I'm not really sure what would happen. There hasn't been much talk about strategy, at least that I've heard, anyway. Brett: I mean… let’s not jump to conclusions. Ian: Hey, Nathan. You wanna come with me to get some water? We’re running pretty low. Nathan: Uh, yeah, sure. Ian: Vince, you better come too. We might need your help carrying it. (Nathan, Vince, and Ian* walk away from the circle, and are shown walking down the trail toward the well)* Ian: I just wanna talk to you guys in private. I trust both of you a lot. Nathan: Yeah, dude, of course. I feel the same way. Ian: If we do need to go to Tribal Council tonight, this game is now officially about numbers, and I think it's pretty clear that we've got a solid three right here. (Vince* nods)* Nathan: Don't forget about Rusty. I'm sure he'd vote with us. Ian: I think you're right. And I feel good about Brett, Elias, and Zack, too. Vince: That's seven right there, bro. Vince (confessional): The strong guys need to stick together. We know that. Otherwise these ladies and weaker dudes are gonna trample all over us once we've built their camp for them, because we're a physical threat. We're nothing but tools to them. Stuff you can throw away once it's served its purpose. Nathan: Depending on how well the rest of them have their heads together, that could be enough, honestly. Ian: You think the vote would be that split? Nathan: Maybe. Who knows? There's a freaking buttload of us, dude. Nathan (confessional): The revelation that we may be voting someone out tonight is pretty mind-blowing. It really puts things into perspective. I like Ian, and I like Vince, and we have the numbers, so I’m not really worried about my position at this point. Ian: So who would we want to vote out? Vince: It's gotta be Portia, man. Nathan: I would be fine with voting Portia. Ian: I dunno, dude. She's annoying, but she hasn't really caused any major grief at all. I really don't like the way Alyssa flew off the handle this morning... and she shot off about us to Janine all night last night when she thought I couldn't hear her. Ian (confessional): The guys want to vote for Portia. And as much as I don't like her, I can't get past the little outburst Alyssa had this morning. She's been acting like that for awhile. I can compare Portia to an annoying little fruit fly, buzzing around, driving you nuts, but never doing anything that can't be brushed off. And if Portia's a fruit fly, Alyssa's a freaking wasp - loud, annoying, and dangerous. Nathan: Dude, with Portia it's not what she's done, it's what she hasn't done. She sits around, she drinks our water, she eats our food, and she complains about everything. Alyssa's been a pretty hard worker, you gotta give her that. Ian: But you saw the way she spoke to me, and I was sleeping on the ground too. She just assumed... I can't stand people like that. Nathan (confessional): Ian is a very proud man. He was met with a bit of... opposition, we'll say, from Alyssa this morning, and I think his ego is bruised because he was challenged like that. Alyssa was definitely wrong. But I don't think it's worth voting her out over one incident... we've got more pressing problems than that. _____________________ CHALLENGE BEACH - DAY 2 (The group is shown from overhead, walking toward the challenge area) Probst: Come on in, guys! (Jeff is shown standing beside two mats, one green, and one purple) Probst: Before we get started, how was your first night? Rusty, how is this group doing? Rusty: I think we're doin' great, Jeff. We got fire, we got lots of water, we're ready. Probst: So you guys are working together well, then. Rusty: Definitely. Probst: So Alyssa, what's your take? How do you feel about camp life so far? Alyssa: Well, I was unfortunate enough to have gone to bed at the wrong time, and I guess the shelter was full, so I had to sleep on the ground. (Ian* is shown shaking his head)* Alyssa: But I guess that's just life out here. Sometimes you just gotta suck it up. Let me just say if I was making the decisions, we would have had a bigger shelter. I think some of the men need to take other people into consideration, and maybe consult a few more people instead of just assuming everyone has the same feelings as they do. Probst: You just rolled your eyes, Ian. What’s that about? Is Alyssa wrong? Ian: Well, I mean, it seems a little ridiculous to me that she’s making such a big deal about this. Alyssa: Ian, it’s the principle of it. I don’t care where I sleep. I just wish I had a bigger role in the decision-making. Ian: Jeff, what I’m saying is that with us going to Tribal Council tonight, people should be a little more careful about the way they openly attack other members of the group.. Alyssa: You could do to learn that lesson for yourself, Doc. Probst: Hold up. Going to Tribal Council tonight? What gave you that impression? Ian: The treemail this morning said “the first torch would be snuffed”. I guess we all just assumed. Probst: Let’s be clear on one thing: The message you received didn’t explicitly say that anyone would be going to Tribal Council. And you can rest assured that you will not be going to Tribal tonight. (Several castaways are shown looking relieved) Ellie: (smiling) Oh, thank God… Probst: I wouldn’t celebrate just yet. You’re not going to Tribal Council because the 21 of you are going to vote someone out right here, right now, on this beach. (Jen* is shown with her mouth hanging open, Brett's eyebrows are raised, and Vince is shaking his head)* Probst: There are 21 of you in this group. I have a bag here with 20 buffs, enough for two tribes of ten. Unfortunately for one of you, that means that your game is about to end abruptly, a lot sooner than you expected. You’re about to be put on the spot – we’re going to vote right now. I’ll pass around the parchment. (After each castaway has a piece of paper, they separate to cast their votes. Several are shown looking confused and indecisive. Alyssa is shown definitively writing “IAN” on her parchment.) Probst: Remember, you are voting for the person you want to leave the game. You’ve lived with each other for less than 24 hours. Hopefully you’ve given the right first impression. Whoever receives the most votes will get on a boat to leave the island, and there will be no turning back. Once you’ve written the name of the person you’re voting for, reassemble and we’ll read them aloud. (Cut to all of the players standing in a group again, with Jeff standing before them) Probst: All right – this will be done verbally. One at a time, read the name of the person you’re voting for. Tess, you’re up first. Tess: I voted for Portia… sorry. (Portia* is shown looking surprised)* John: Make that one more for Portia. Juan: I voted for Alyssa. Elias: Portia. (he shrugs) Sorry. Alyssa: My vote is for Ian, for obvious reasons. Probst: Here’s where we stand. We’ve got three for Portia, one for Alyssa, and one for Ian. Jodi, you’re up. (Jodi* votes for Portia, Ian votes for Alyssa, Nash votes for Alyssa, Portia votes for John, and Dawna votes for Alyssa)* Probst: We’re tied with four votes each for Portia and Alyssa, one vote for Ian, and one for John. Janine, you’re next. (Janine* votes for Ian, Chris votes for Portia, and Ruby votes for Portia)* Probst: Here’s where we’re at. Six votes for Portia, four for Alyssa, two for Ian, and one vote John. There are eight people left to reveal their votes – it’s still anyone’s game at this point. Jen, you're up. (Jen* votes for Portia, Nathan votes for Portia, and Brett votes for Portia)* Probst: And I’ll stop you right there. We’ve got nine for Portia, four for Alyssa, two for Ian, and one for John. With only five people left to vote, no matter how the other votes fall, today, nine is enough – Portia, you can step over here. (Portia* is shown with tears in her eyes, and walks over to where Jeff is standing)* Probst: Portia, you look pretty hurt. Portia: (sniffs) I’m extremely hurt. These people don’t know me. I think they’re making a mistake. Probst: Be that as it may, the group has spoken, and it is time for you to go. Let’s bring the boat in! (As the speedboat pulls up to the shore, Portia* solemnly shakes her head and walks toward it)* Portia: (turning around and flipping the group off) Rot in hell, dumbasses. Hope it gets miserable out here. (Portia’s* boat speeds away from the shore, and several castaways are shown shaking their heads and rolling their eyes. Mona is shown with tears in her eyes.)* John: She’s a delightful girl. Probst: Now, let’s get down to business. This group of 21 is about to become divided, right now. Within this game, strong leadership can be of utmost importance. I need your two strongest leaders to step up, right now. Who thinks they have what it takes to be in charge? (Ian* and Vince raise their hands. Nathan looks about to step up, but does not. Alyssa scowls at Ian.)* Probst: Ian and Vince think they’re the leaders. Any objections from the group? (Alyssa* smirks and shakes her head, but says nothing)* Probst: Alright. Ian and Vince, come on up. Pick a mat, doesn’t really matter which one. (Cut to Ian* standing on the green mat, and Vince on the purple one)* Probst: This is gonna be done in a schoolyard pick. Ian and Vince will each pick someone to be on their tribe, it can be either a man or a woman. Then that person will choose, their choice will choose next, and so on. Vince won the coin toss, so he’ll choose first. You can go ahead. Vince: Gotta be my boy Nate! (Nathan* joins Vince on the purple mat)* Probst: Ian, you’re up. Ian: I’ll take Rusty. (Rusty* walks to the green mat and shakes Ian’s hand)* Probst: It’s your turn, Nathan. Make your pick. (Nathan chooses Zack.Then, Rusty chooses Brett, Zack chooses Jen, Brett chooses Ellie, Jen chooses Elias, Ellie chooses Juan, Elias chooses Jodi, Juan chooses Mona, Jodi chooses Alyssa, Mona chooses Janine, Alyssa chooses Ruby,and Janine chooses Tess, leaving Dawna, Nash, Chris, and John remaining to be chosen) Probst: Only four left to be chosen. We’re getting down to the wire. Ruby, you’re up. Ruby: I’ll go with… Nashville, is it? Nash: (walking toward the purple mat) That’s me, baby. Tess: I’ll take John. (John* walks to the green mat)* Nash: Uhh… hrm. This is tough. Sorry, Mama D, no offense meant. I’m gonna pick Chris. (Chris* walks to the purple mat smiling)* Chris (confessional): In school, I was always the last one picked in gym class. I was really worried the same thing would happen here. I guess I’m relieved that I wasn’t, even if it was the old lady that I beat out in the end. (Dawna* shrugs, smiles, and makes her way to the green mat)* Probst: (handing the castaways their buffs) And with that, our two tribes have been formed. Ian’s tribe, wearing green, you are Palikir. Purple tribe, your name is Chuuk. You can head to your camps – because Vince won the coin toss for choosing tribes, Chuuk, you guys are going to be living at the camp you all spent hours tirelessly building. Unfortunately, Palikir, that means you’ll be starting from scratch. Here’s a map to your new home. (Ian accepts the map from Jeff. The Chuuk tribe cheers, while Palikir looks visibly disappointed) Probst: Head on out! (The tribes are shown from overhead, leaving the beach in opposite directions) Brett (confessional): A lot just happened. I think it’s going to take some time to wrap our heads around it. With Portia voted out, and then immediately we’re divided into two tribes, it’s a whole new game. I’ll have to figure out my way from here. Last Edited By: VL 03/31/12 01:07 AM. Edited 3 times.

Posts: 6 03/31/12 12:27 AM Reply Quote More Recent Posts	PALIKIR TRIBE - DAY 2 (The tribe is shown approaching their green flag) Ellie: Well, I guess this is home from now on. Brett: You said it. I can’t believe we have to start over. Ellie (confessional): I want to say I like my tribe. Ian’s proven himself to be a very capable leader, so I have no doubt we’ll have shelter and fire and everything we had at the other camp in no time. We’ve got a few of the stronger guys, Brett, Ian, Juan, and Rusty, and I think I’m pretty physically capable. I’m not worried about the challenges. Ian: Well, we’d better get started on a shelter. We’re losing daylight. Ian (confessional): It really sucks to have to start over just because I lost a stupid coin toss. But I’m going to take the high road and look at this as an opportunity for us to build an even better camp than the Chuuk tribe has, and for us to get to know each other. My entire alliance got put on the other tribe, so I need to make new connections over here. Ian: I think Rusty, Brett and I should be the ones to take care of the shelter, because we did a lot of the work on the other one. Janine, I need you and Ellie to go find the well. Janine: I’d prefer it if I could help with the shelter. I didn’t really get much of a chance to help with the one at the old camp, and I think I’d be an asset. Ian: Well, I want you to go get water. Janine: Maybe I don’t want to go get water? I think I’d be put to better use elsewhere. Janine (confessional): I wanted to grab Ian, throw him in the water, push his head under for a few minutes, and leave him for the sharks. I don’t like his attitude. He stands up in front of the tribe like he’s the king of the island and we’re his subjects who have to listen to him just because he calls himself a leader. I mean, I work in management… I lead people for a living! In my experience, a leader is someone who leads through their behavior, not someone who makes demands and expects them to be filled just because. Ian: Look, me and the boys know what we’re doing, and I think I’ve proven that I know what I’m talking about. If we’re going to work together, we need a leader, and quite frankly, that’s me. So when I ask you to go get the water, I’d appreciate it if you listened. Janine: Fine. Ian: Anyway, while Janine is kindly going with Ellie to get water, if you girls wanna go get some palm fronds for me… Tess: We’ll get on that. _____________________ CHUUK TRIBE - DAY 2 (Returning to the camp, the *Chuuk* tribe sees their purple tribe flag standing by their shelter. The group cheers) Nathan: Yeah Chuuk tribe! I think we lucked out on this one, people. Ruby: Damn right we did. I bet they’re freaking out over at their new beach. Can’t believe they have to start again. Vince: And I don’t think we’ll ever have to worry about Tribal Council. We got the strongest physical players on this island, and they’re stuck with Grandma and blondie. Elias: Dude, we’re good to go. Elias (confessional): I don’t wanna jinx it, but this is really our game to win. The green tribe is probably over there having a bitch of a time trying to get their shit together before sundown. Here at Chuuk beach, we got shelter, we’ve got food, the guys are strong, and the girls are hot. Jodi: I’m so happy to be back here, and with you guys, too. Alyssa: Can we just make a pact right now that we’re gonna completely dominate those Palikir people? Jodi: Chuuk on three? (The tribe all put their hands together) Jen: One… two… three… Everyone: CHUUK! Jodi (confessional): I think it’s great that we have so much tribe morale. I’m glad we got rid of Portia, because no matter what tribe she ended up on, someone would have had to deal with her. And there’s no place for a bad attitude like that on Survivor. (*Vince, Nathan*, and *Elias* are shown walking down a trail) Elias: Man, we're sittin’ pretty. Nathan: I’m glad we’re all still together, too. If it comes to a vote, we’ve got numbers. Vince: Sucks that Ian isn’t here. I bet he’s kicking himself right now. Elias: Is that really a loss? That guy was a douchebag. (laughs) Nathan: He was kind of annoying. But he was a number we needed. Vince: We can recruit Zack and country boy. As long as we keep the guys together, I can’t see us even having to go to Tribal. We’re way stronger than those other guys. Vince (confessional): It’s definitely a matter of men versus women here on the Chuuk tribe. Which is good for me, because there are six men to the four women. With Ian gone the core alliance is now me, Nate, and Elias, the three strongest guys. These chicks are as good as gone. (*Alyssa, Jodi, Jen* and *Ruby* are shown sitting in the ocean) Alyssa: I just can’t believe we’re on the sausage fest tribe. Ruby: You think the guys are together? Alyssa: If they’re not, they should be. There are six of them, and four of us. It would just make sense for them to get together. I think we should just assume that they’re working together, because if we don’t we could be shooting ourselves in the foot. Jen: Even if they are, there’s no sense worrying about that stuff unless we lose. And even then, I think the guys would vote out Chris before they would take out one of us. Jen (confessional): Alyssa wants a women’s alliance. Alyssa hasn’t explicitly said that, but I know that’s what she’s thinking, because she’s told us that she thinks the men are working together. And so what if they are? Alyssa: I just think it’s in our best interests to be pro-active. That’s all I’m saying. Jen (confessional): (cont.) Alyssa worries me a lot more than the prospect of the guys getting together. I think if Alyssa had her way, we’d get rid of all the strong men as soon as possible – but the problem with that is that we’d never win any challenges if we did. She’s always thinking of the game as being “men versus women” when in reality, right now, it’s Palikir versus Chuuk. That’s what we should be focused on. _____________________ PALIKIR TRIBE - DAY 2 Dawna: That shelter’s looking great, boys! Do you just want me to drop these coconuts over here? Rusty: Sounds great, Mama D! Dawna: There’s more where that came from! Dawna (confessional): I’ve developed the moniker “Mama D” among some of my tribemates. I love it! I guess being the old gal isn’t so bad after all. They’re a lot younger than me, but they’re good kids. If I can be their mom, and it keeps me around awhile longer, I’ll take on that role in a flash. Brett: Dawna, can you pass me that machete? Dawna: Of course I can, dear. Brett (confessional): Dawna has really surprised me with her work ethic. She’s the oldest one out here by far, and I don’t I was alone in thinking that might make her a liability around camp. (*Dawna* is shown tending to the fire) Janine (confessional): I admire the way Dawna’s working as hard as she can. But when it comes down to it, she’s still the weakest. If we lose the first challenge, it’ll probably be because of her… and we all know that. The rest of us are pretty fit, even John, the other old guy. (Later, *Brett, Tess, Rusty, Juan*, and *Janine* are shown walking down the beach) Tess (confessional): Everyone’s started to bond really well. When we were together at the other beach, it felt impermanent. Now that we know we’re a tribe, people are a little friendlier, the vibe is a lot less stressful. This feels like a cohesive unit rather than a group of strangers. Janine: Hopefully we don’t lose the challenge tomorrow. Tess: Yeah… hopefully. Janine: They definitely have a strong tribe. I’ll be impressed if we can play at their level. Tess (confessional): That being said, Janine is very negative. I don’t know if she realizes that she’s doing it, but her attitude is generally pretty pessimistic. We don’t need that around camp; we’ve got enough to be worried about without Debbie Downer over here. (*Brett* is shown looking back at *Tess* and *Janine, who have fallen behind)* Rusty: How old are you again, Brett? (*Brett* is shown hesitating) Brett: I’m 23. Rusty: Oh, cool. You don’t look it. I would have guessed 20. Brett: That’s must be just my boyish good looks (laughs). Brett (confessional): My plan right now is to keep my real age a secret. I debated telling Rusty the truth, that I’m actually only 18, because I trust Rusty probably more than anyone else on my tribe. But there really can’t be anything good that can come from singling myself out as the youngest Survivor ever. I want to lay low for now, and quietly play my game behind the scenes. _____________________ PALIKIR TRIBE - NIGHT 2 (It’s pouring rain, and the Palikir tribe is shown trying to sleep in their shelter, which is leaking) Mona: Oh my God, please… make it stop… (coughs) I just wanna sleep… please… Mona (confessional): (on the verge of tears) I have never felt so alone, or so cold and wet in my entire life. This shelter is doing nothing to keep us dry. We might as well be out in the rain. Ian: I hope this clears up soon… (*Rusty* is shown shifting his position under the shelter. *Mona* has her buff pulled over her face) Juan: It’s a freakin’ monsoon out there. Janine: I just want a warm bed right now. (*Dawna* is shown putting her arm around *Mona) Ian (confessional): It’s quite the way to spend our first night as a tribe. First we get the crappy camp, then we get pounded with rain for hours while we’re trying to sleep… It’ll be a miracle if we win tomorrow. And we need to win. (Cut to the morning of Day 3, the* *Palikir* camp is shown drenched. *Rusty* is shown crawling out of the shelter) Rusty (confessional): Last night was probably one of the biggest storms I’ve ever seen. The rain just kept coming down… it just never stopped. Our shelter was useless. (The tribe is shown sitting around the remnants of what was once a fire. *Dawna* is shivering.) Brett: You gonna be okay, there, Mama D? Dawna: Y-yes dear… I’m f-fine… Dawna (confessional): Last night really took its toll on me. I just feel so empty… so weak. Today won’t be a good day. I don’t ever want to have another night like that. Ellie: Let’s get you some food. Ellie (confessional): I’m really worried about Dawna. We all had a rough night, but her system just can’t take the same kind of beating that the rest of us can. Dawna: N-no… really, dear… I’ll be all right… just give me a few minutes… Ellie (confessional): (cont.) It really pains me to see her like that. I hope she’s feeling better by the time we have to go to the challenge today. (*Ian* walks up to the group with a bundle of firewood) Ian: Hey, what’s all this sitting around for? We’ve got work to do. The shelter needs to be almost completely rebuilt, everything’s soaked… let’s get a move on, people. Ellie: Just give us a couple of minutes, Ian. Dawna’s pretty hurting right now. Ian: Well, she can go get the water. That’s an easy enough job. Janine: She had a really hard night. I think she should just lay low today. Ian: And I think there shouldn’t be any breaks. We’re trying to survive on an island. So once you guys are done throwing your pity party for each other, you can get up and maybe do something conducive to making this camp a bit better, and make sure what happened last night doesn’t happen again. Janine (confessional): Ian, are you serious? I mean, I can be a heartless bitch. I take pride in it. But here is a 60-year-old woman who just sat through a 12-hour thunderstorm. If she wants to take a break, let her have one. _____________________ IMMUNITY CHALLENGE - DAY 3 (The group is shown from overhead, walking toward the challenge area) Probst: Come on in, guys! (The tribes assemble on their mats) Probst: Welcome to your first challenge. Before we get started; Jen, how was the first night at Chuuk? Jen: It was fantastic. The shelter held up to the rain pretty well, and we had lots of space. No complaints over here. Probst: You buy that, Palikir? Rusty: (smiling) Not for a second, Jeff. Probst: How was the night over at your new camp? Rusty: It was hell. Absolute hell. But that’s not gonna stop us from winning today. Probst: Alright; with that said, today’s challenge is for Immunity. You guys ready to get to it? (Various nods and words of agreement) Probst: For today’s challenge, one member at a time from each tribe will race out to the platform just off shore and use a machete to chop through a rope, releasing a bag of puzzle pieces. Once you have your bag, swim back to shore and the next member of your tribe will go. Once a tribe has all five bags of puzzle pieces, two members of your tribe will work to assemble the puzzle. It is a very large puzzle; once completed, it’s an image of your tribe’s name and the Survivor: Kosrae logo. The first tribe to finish their puzzle wins Immunity. (Jeff pulls the cloth off of the Immunity Idol, revealing it) Probst: In this game, this is what you covet. If your tribe has Immunity, you will not go to Tribal Council. You are guaranteed another three days in this game. I know it’s worth playing for. I’ll give you guys a moment to strategize, then we’ll begin. (Cut to the start line of the challenge. Tribes are lined up behind their mats.) Probst: For Immunity! Survivors ready… GO! Probst: Juan in the water for Palikir, Elias heads out for Chuuk. Juan is tearing through the water, he’s almost halfway to the platform already! Jodi: Come on Elias! Let’s go! Probst: Juan has the first bag of puzzle pieces for Palikir. Elias is right behind him! Ian: Bring it back, Juan! You’re in the lead! Vince: You can do this, bro. Kick hard! Probst: Juan is back with Palikir’s first bag of puzzle pieces. Now Ellie’s in the water! Palikir has taken an early lead in this challenge. Vince: Come on Elias! Probst: Elias is back with Chuuk’s first bag of puzzle pieces. Vince is now heading out for Chuuk! Palikir is still leading, but Chuuk is right behind! (*Ellie* is shown climbing onto the platform and striking the next rope, only to miss severely) Probst: Ellie’s having trouble with the rope. Vince is now almost at the platform! Chuuk could catch up, right here. Tess: Come on, Ellie! You got this! Probst: Ellie’s cut through the rope, and she’s heading back with Palikir’s second set of pieces. Vince is right behind her – they’re both in the water. Immunity on the line, and this is still anyone’s game. Probst (cont.): Ellie’s back with the second set of pieces for Palikir, and now Dawna’s heading out on the course. Vince is slowing down, still heading back to shore. (*Dawna* is shown swimming dog-paddle style near the platform. She is clearly getting tired) Probst: Dawna is slowing down. Vince is back to the mat, and now Alyssa’s in the water, going for that third set of puzzle pieces. Ian: Dawna! Swim faster! This is a race! Probst: Dawna has finally reached the platform, and Alyssa is right there with her. Both tribes are now neck-in-neck; Palikir has lost their lead. Now Alyssa’s back in the water with her next set of puzzle pieces – Chuuk has officially passed Palikir in this challenge. Dawna: (toward her tribe) I can’t cut the rope! (she swings the machete again, and can’t get through it) Probst: Dawna having a lot of trouble getting through that rope. Alyssa’s now back to shore with Chuuk’s third set of puzzle pieces, and Jen’s heading out for the fourth. Ian: Come back, Dawna! We’ll send someone else! Dawna: No, I can do this! (After several more tries, *Dawna* breaks through the rope and her bag is released. Ian is shown shaking his head) Probst: Dawna is finally back in the water with her third bag, but Jen is right behind her for Chuuk. Now Dawna’s back to the beach, and Ian’s heading out for Palikir’s fourth bag. Zack: Nice work, Jen! Probst: Jen is back for Chuuk! Now Nathan’s in the water, looking for that fifth and final bag of puzzle pieces. Ian is almost to the platform for Palikir… this is still very close. (*Ian* is shown diving back into the water) Probst: Ian’s on his way back for Palikir. Palikir can still catch up! Nathan’s got the fifth and final bag, and is heading back, while Brett has just entered the water looking for Palikir’s last bag. Nathan: (arriving at shore) Okay, start untying, start untying! Probst: Ruby and Chris starting to untie the bags and work on the puzzle for Chuuk. Brett’s still trying to get that last bag of pieces for Palikir – you can still win this! (*Brett* is shown jumping back into the water with the bag) Probst: Now Brett’s headed back. This is anyone’s game! Ruby and Chris almost have their puzzle pieces all untied. Once Brett hits the beach, Palikir can start on their puzzle. (*Brett* arrives at the beach, and throws the bag of pieces at the pile) Probst: Palikir can start untying now! It’s Janine and Tess working on the puzzle for Palikir – and Chuuk seems to be making almost no progress on their puzzle. Janine: You take that bag – take that bag! Let’s go, let’s go, we can catch them! Probst: Janine and Tess have started laying out their puzzle. Ruby and Chris have made some progress! Ian: Janine, put that piece in the corner. Put it in the corner! What are you doing? Janine: Am I doing this puzzle, or are you? Probst: Palikir’s having some internal difficulties. Could this be the break Chuuk is looking for? Ian: Janine, listen to me! That piece needs to go in the – Janine: I won’t put up with this! If it’s so easy, then you do it! (*Janine* throws two of the puzzle pieces at *Ian) Ian: Jeff, are you seeing this? Probst:* Janine is getting frustrated with the puzzle and with her tribe. Ruby and Chris have made a breakthrough, they’re almost there… Tess: Come on, Janine, let’s go. Try putting that one there. Janine: They’re gonna win anyway. Look how much they have done! Tess: That’s no reason to stop trying! Probst: It looks like Palikir is having trouble focusing on their puzzle. Meanwhile, Ruby and Chris are almost there… Almost… almost… And just like that, CHUUKWINS IMMUNITY! (The *Chuuk* tribe cheers in celebration. *Palikir* looks extremely disappointed. *Ian* picks up one of the puzzle pieces and throws it down the beach) Probst: Chuuk tribe… congratulations. No Tribal Council for you guys tonight. You worked hard and it paid off. As for you, Palikir, unfortunately, I’ve got nothing for you. I’ll see you guys at Tribal Council tonight, where one of you will become the next person voted out of the game. You have this afternoon to find out who that’s going to be. Head back to camp; I’ll see you tonight. (The *Palikir* tribe turns away and leaves) Ian (confessional): Our performance today freaking sucked. A few of our tribe members couldn’t have done worse if they tried. It sucks that we have to vote someone out tonight, but I’m hopeful that whatever direction we take will make the tribe stronger.

Posts: 6 03/31/12 12:34 AM Reply Quote More Recent Posts	PALIKIR TRIBE - DAY 3 (The *Palikir* tribe, defeated, is shown returning to their camp) Brett: Well, at least we tried our hardest. We’ll win the next one. Ellie: That’s right. It was nobody’s fault… it just didn’t work. Ellie (confessional): Tonight, we have to vote someone out, which is a little nerve-wracking. I think I performed well at the challenge, I don’t think I need to be worried for myself. But I know Dawna struggled… we never should have put her in, but she really wanted to prove herself. I hope that doesn’t weigh too heavy on anyone’s mind. Dawna: Listen, you guys, I just want to apologize for my performance today. Rusty: Hey, you did your best. We can’t ask anything else from you. Juan: Yeah, Mama D. No hard feelings. Ian: Janine, I’m really disappointed in the way you handled yourself today. I was trying to help you on that puzzle. Janine: I didn’t need your help. Tess and I were doing fine. And when you’re barking out orders, that’s no way to help someone. Ian: We were in a challenge! A challenge that I blame you for losing for us! (*Ellie* is shown rolling her eyes) Ellie (confessional): (cont.) I teach twelve-year-olds with more maturity than Ian and Janine. They just nitpick at each other constantly. It’s purely antagonistic behavior on both of their parts. I honestly don’t think either one of them was more at fault for losing the challenge today. Both of them need to grow up a little. Janine: You blame me for losing the challenge? We were doing great until you came over to “help”, Ian- Ian: “Ian”? Please, you think you still have a right to be on a first-name basis with me? You’ll refer to me as Dr. Halter from now on if you want to get a response. And when you want to apologize, I’ll be over by the shelter. Janine: “Dr. Halter”? You can’t be serious. Ian, get back here! Stand your ground and talk to me – Ian: Not listening. Sorry. (*Brett* is shown stifling a laugh) Brett (confessional): Ian has demanded that Janine address him by his professional title only, and refuses to answer to anything she says unless she prefaces it with "Dr. Halter". And of course Janine's giving it right back. It's pretty childish. (Cut to *Brett, Rusty*, and *Tess* standing in the jungle) Rusty: So it’s Dawna tonight? Tess: I think that seems to be the consensus. She’s the weakest link. Brett: Yeah. That’s what people are saying. There’s just so much drama going on right now, it’s hard to say where our biggest problem lies. Brett (confessional): (cont.) Myself, Rusty, and Tess have formed an alliance of sorts. I’m not looking to jump into anything overly strategic at the moment, but it’s good to know that I’ve got some people on my side. Brett: I just wonder about Ian and Janine. We need Ian around camp… Rusty: Yeah, man, we can’t vote him out. As annoying as he is. We could take Janine out instead… she’s doesn’t really contribute much herself. Tess: But Janine’s in a lot better shape than Dawna. I almost feel like we owe it to Dawna to let her go home after what she went through last night. The nights aren’t going to get any easier. Tess (confessional): As of right now, it looks like the tribe is torn between voting out Dawna, because she’s the weakest link, and Janine, because of her constant bickering with Ian. There are pros and cons to both sides. I think it’s a question of whether we think it’s worse for the tribe to have someone weak, or to have two people who fight so much that it’s really destroying our tribe morale. (*Ian* walks up to the group) Ian: What are you guys saying? Brett: Before about ten minutes ago, I think everyone wanted it to be Dawna… Ian: That’s what I thought the plan was. All for Dawna, make it clean. Brett: I just… I don’t know. There’s been a lot of drama between you and Janine lately. Ian: So you think we should blindside Janine? Brett: I guess that would work. We have the numbers. Brett (confessional): Ian showed up at the perfect time. It was almost entirely my plan to go after Janine, but I know Ian’s going to take complete credit for it, and spread it around as much as he can. Which suits me just fine. (*Dawna* and *Ellie* are walking together) Dawna: I hope I’m not on the chopping block tonight. Ellie: I know I won’t write your name down. Dawna: I appreciate that. Ellie: I’d rather see one of those two go home – Ian or Janine. Dawna (confessional): I think after the night I had last night, and the challenge today, I’m definitely in hot water tonight. I only hope I can convince the rest of my tribe to keep me in the game awhile longer. (*Mona* is shown walking up to *Janine) Mona: I think Ian’s trying to get you voted out tonight. I overheard them talking… It doesn’t sound good. Janine: Of course he is. Shit. Janine (confessional): Everyone knows I can’t stand Ian. But I was gonna forget about all of that for now, because we had all decided that Dawna was the weakest link, and she would be the first to go. Now I find out that Ian’s plotting against me? Janine: We’re gonna have to give it right back to him. Would you be cool with voting for Ian? Mona: Absolutely. Janine (confessional): (cont.)* It’s do or die time. Ian thinks I’m going to be voting for Dawna, and that he’s got enough votes to send me packing. I can’t wait to see the look on his face when I’m able to turn the tables on him. (*Janine* is shown speaking to *John, Dawna, Mona* and *Ellie) Janine: …just hear me out. Would you guys be willing to vote for Ian tonight? (John* raises his eyebrows) Janine: He’s a huge threat to us. If you haven’t noticed, he’s bosses everyone around, he thinks he owns this camp. I’m sick of his attitude. Ellie (confessional): Janine has a definite personal vendetta against Ian, and now she’s targeting him. This changes everything. Right now, my feeling is only that one of those two has to go tonight. I could stick with the plan and vote for Janine, or I could switch things up and we could blindside Ian. Ellie: I’ll have to think about it. Janine: Well, who do you want to vote for? Ellie: I don’t know, Janine. I said I’d have to think about it – I didn’t say no. Ellie (confessional): (cont.) Tribal Council is going to be interesting. Coming back from the challenge today, we all thought it would be easy – we’d all vote Dawna out unanimously, maintain our tribe unity, whatever. But now it looks like the vote could go one of three different ways… This tribe is falling apart. _____________________ TRIBAL COUNCIL - NIGHT 3 (The *Palikir* tribe is shown entering Tribal Council) Probst: Welcome to Tribal Council. Behind each of you is a torch; grab your torch, and approach the flame. In this game, fire represents your life. Once your fire is gone, so are you. (The tribe takes a seat with their torches) Probst: Alright, let’s get to it. It’s been an interesting few days for you guys. You lived as a group of 21, you voted out Portia, you split off into tribes, and now you guys are here at Tribal Council. Ian, tell me about your first few days as a tribe. Ian: It’s been pretty trying at times, Jeff. We really want to act like a unified group, but that’s a lot easier said than done. Certain people make it difficult to work together. Probst: Janine, you’re moving your head all over the place back there. Don’t agree with what Ian’s saying? Janine: No, actually, I totally agree with what he’s saying. There are definitely some people on this tribe that make it hard to work as a unit, I just think Ian might not see eye-to-eye with me on who those people are. Even since we got back to camp from – Ian: Because you’ve had it out for me since we got here! Janine: Excuse me? I was talking. In any case, that’s true, I don't like Ian, but I'm willing to put aside our differences to vote out the person who we've all agreed is the weakest link. Probst: And that person is… Janine: Dawna. (*Dawna* is shown looking uncomfortable) Probst: That sound accurate, Juan? Juan: I think in terms of physical strength, yeah, it’s no secret that Dawna’s a little less capable than the rest of us. Probst: Dawna, that’s not a label you want to have. You’ve gotta be worried about that. Dawna: Of course I am. I’ve got my bag with me, I’d be stupid to not think that I could be going home tonight. I screwed up in the challenge, but the way I see it, at least I tried my best. I’ll do better next time, it just wasn’t my day. Probst: Although, with that being said, I don’t think I was the only one who was a little surprised to see a 60-year-old woman being sent out into the water when you’ve got someone like Rusty on the bench. Dawna: And that was my decision. I wanted to prove myself to the tribe, because I experienced a rough night the night before, which I was worried made me come across as weak. Probst: So Ellie, how do you base your vote tonight? Is it entirely about keeping the tribe strong at this point? Ellie: It is… and it isn’t. There are different kinds of strength. Maybe Dawna isn’t the strongest physical competitor, but someone else might have an attitude that isn’t really conducive to keeping up tribe morale. It’s all about perspective. It depends whether we place more value on physical strength, or on keeping the peace around camp. Ian: Excuse me, can I say something? Probst: You have the floor. Ian: I think Ellie is completely right. There is poison in this tribe, and she’s sitting (he points at Janine) right there. Janine: Here we go. Ian: Everyone is going after Dawna for doing poorly in the challenge. And yeah, she sucked. I’m sorry if that sounds harsh, but Dawna never should have been put in a position like that when we could have sent Rusty out instead. But is everyone forgetting the fact that Janine threw a little bitch fit when she was doing the puzzle? Just because I tried to help her. If that’s not an insubordinate attitude, I don’t know what is. I am the leader of this tribe. Isn’t that what we agreed? Janine: Oh, would you give it up. No one’s bowing down to you, Dr. Halter, no one has any respect for your leadership – or lack thereof, I should say. What this comes down to is the fact that you’ve got this ridiculous superiority complex, and you can’t stand the fact that you’re being challenged by someone who’s not afraid to stand up to you. You did the same thing with Alyssa back at the old camp, and you’re doing the same thing with me right now. Ian: Jeff, I don’t have to listen to this. (Jeff is shown wide-eyed, staring at *Janine* and *Ian* in awe) Probst: Well, this has certainly been a very eye-opening Tribal Council. But it is time to vote. Brett, you’re up first. (*Brett* walks up to the voting confessional, places his vote in the urn. Next is *Juan*, followed by *Ian*, who reveals his vote to be for *Janine) Ian: You are a piece of work, you know that? Get off my island. (Ellie* votes next. She hesitates momentarily before writing a name on the parchment and casting her vote. Next up is *Dawna*, followed by *Mona*, and then *Janine*, who reveals her vote to be for *Ian) Janine: I wasn’t going to vote for you tonight. I thought we could take the high road and keep the tribe strong, but that’s clearly not the case. Have a good flight home. (Rusty* votes next, followed by *John*, and then finally *Tess) Probst:* I’ll go tally the votes. (Jeff returns with the votes) Probst: Once the votes are read, the decision is final. The person voted out will be asked to leave the Tribal Council area immediately. I’ll read the votes. First Vote: Spoiler [+] IAN Spoiler [+] DAWNA. One vote Ian, one vote Dawna. Spoiler [+] IAN. That’s two votes Ian, one vote Dawna. Spoiler [+] JANINE. Two votes Ian, one vote each Dawna and Janine. Spoiler [+] JANINE. We’re tied; two votes Ian, two votes Janine. One vote Dawna. Spoiler [+] JANINE. That’s three votes Janine, two votes Ian, one vote Dawna. Spoiler [+] JANINE. Four votes Janine. Spoiler [+] Second person voted out of Survivor: Kosrae: JANINE. That’s five, that’s enough. Janine, you need to bring me your torch. Janine: Nice one, guys. Real classy. (*Janine* brings her torch over to Jeff) Probst: Janine, the tribe has spoken. (Jeff snuffs *Janine*’s torch) Probst: It’s time for you to go. (*Janine* exits the Tribal Council area without another word to her tribe) Probst: Well, if there’s one thing I’ve learned about you guys from tonight’s Tribal Council, it’s that your tribe places greater value on cohesiveness and harmony than it does on physical strength. Time will tell if you’ve made the right decision. Grab your torches, head on back to camp. Have a good night. Janine’s Final Words: “I don’t think my tribe made the right move by getting rid of me. They need to stand up to Ian, or else he’s going to walk all over them. I’m not the only one he’s been picking fights with… I wish they could see that. I came out here to prove that I was a great Survivor player, and I don’t think I accomplished that exactly, but I’m happy to have had the experience as it is. I had a blast, and I don’t have any regrets about the way I played.” Probst: Next time on Survivor… At Palikir, things go from bad, to worse. (Dawna* and Ian are shown standing opposite one another)* Dawna: How can you say that? How can you stand there and say that to me? Dawna (confessional): If they think I’m going down without a fight, they’ve got something else coming. I might be Mama D but I’m no pushover. Meanwhile, at Chuuk, Zack makes a discovery. (Zack is shown holding a small bundle, Jen is in the background) Zack: “Congratulations, you have found the Hidden Immunity Idol”… damn, this is crazy. And Elias takes the game into his own hands. (*Elias* and *Alyssa* are shown) Alyssa: Are you sure? Elias: You have absolutely nothing to worry about. Last Edited By: VL 04/02/12 02:21 AM. Edited 4 times.
