"I Need to Scramble"
Brian, Erik, Jerri, Natalie, Nate, Stephannie, Sugar, Todd.
Voiceover - Previously on… Survivor!
We could see everyone dropping their buff at the announcement of the merge.
Voiceover – Once the tribes merged, Numfor were facing Yapen four to six.
We could see the four Numfor together and Nate looking at his shirt he had in his hands while walking.
Confessional Nate - That only makes four of us to six, so either we bank on Anthony or Steph, or I pull in someone else.
Stephannie drank in her canteen of water and Anthony was sitting in the shelter.
Voiceover – The difference between both tribes, was that the Numfor four were tight…
Confessional Brian - it's going to be Numfor to the end.
Voiceover – While Yapen was completely divided and ready to turn on each other.
We could see Natalie nod to Todd.
Confessional Natalie - I am screwing over my entire original tribe. It's my mission to screw all of them over for making us pick rocks.
Voiceover – Which created three different alliances at the start of the merge…
Confessional Natalie - I have heard Sugar, Nate and Brian are a threesome.
We could see Sugar, Nate and Brian sitting around fire.
Confessional Natalie - Jenna, Steph and Anthony are the dumbass three…
We could see them inside the shelter.
Confessional Natalie - And then me Erik and Todd.
We could see Erik and Todd taking their bath with Natalie.
Voiceover – Numfor took advantage of this and first targeted Jenna.
Sugar (to Jerri) - I think Jenna needs to go.
Confessional Sugar - Jenna NEEDS to go this round, she is a huge threat.
Jeff Probst – And the seventh person voted out of Survivor: Indonesia…
Jeff turned around the vote and we could the vote against Jenna.
Jeff Probst – Jenna.
Jenna stood up.
Voiceover – And then targeted Anthony.
Nate - So the vote is Anthony like planned?
Natalie – Yeah.
Jeff Probst – And the eighth person voted out of Survivor: Indonesia and first member of the jury…
Jeff Probst – Anthony.
Anthony presented his torch to Jeff who already swang the torch snuffer.
Jeff Probst – Anthony, tribe has spoken!
We could see the steam coming off his torch.
Voiceover – Which leaves Stephannie completely alone. Can she recover from the loss of her allies?
We could see Stephannie standing up at the end of tribal council and getting ready to leave.
Voiceover - Eight people remain, who will be voted out… tonight!?!
MIOS NUM, NIGHT 24
It was dark at camp as usual and Stephannie was the first one to arrive. She entered the shelter first while the rest of the tribe was having fun around campfire, telling stories and such. She was indifferent to their conversation. Brian was looking at Todd.
Brian – Who voted for me last tribal?
Todd – Me and Erik.
The fire was cracking and after a moment, Brian arrived to Stephannie and was whispering.
Brian – I am sorry, I voted for Anthony cause I thought the rest were all doing the same.
Stephannie nodded without answering.
Brian – Apparently they are not and I got three votes…
Stephannie – Well, if you didn’t, it would have been a tie. So I can’t blame you.
Brian – I am amazed by why there were three votes for me. I just got to know from Todd that Erik and him voted for me. Who was the third person? I really like to know.
Stephannie – Good question.
Stephannie yawned.
Confessional Stephannie -
Well, last night my main ally, Anthony, went and now I need to scramble… I hope Brian trusts me, I told him I was voting for Erik, and I did, so I feel that I proved my loyalty to him.

MIOS NUM, DAY 25
It was the morning and the sun wasn’t too powerful. We could see Todd taking some spoons of rice, next to Brian. He just took a bite.
Confessional Todd -
So...a couple days ago I overate without realizing it. But it got me thinking... I'm here to make chaos. So...I'm going to overeat every day. See if anyone notices. And then I'll see what these people do when there's no food left.

Todd laughs outloud. Brian looked at him and didn’t seem to notice Todd overeating.
Brian – Do you know who was the third vote on me?
Todd – Steph.
Todd took another spoon of rice and decided to stand up and go away. We could see the sun for a moment when Stephannie was now with Brian at the same place.
Brian – Todd just told me you voted for me as well. What is going on?
Stephannie – I promise you that is not true. He was under the impression that I was going to vote with him I guess…
Right after Stephannie finished talking, Todd interrupted the conversation with a tree-mail in hands. Brian glared at him.
Todd – Tree-Mail!
Once everyone gathered, he read outloud the message.
Todd – “Today, temptation will take you away from safety that could be required if you don’t want to be the next person voted off.”
Todd looked up at the rest of his tribe mates who looked back at him.
CHALLENGE FIELD
We could see the challenge settlement in the highlands: There was a long picnic table with a blanket covering its content and further, there were eight columns of four stations each. Nearby, Jeff Probst was waiting on the tribe to arrive.
Jeff Probst – Come on in guys!
We could see everyone arriving one at a time and Natalie deposit her bag first on the mat. Jeff looked at her.
Jeff Probst – First thing first, Natalie, give me back immunity!
Jeff approached her and took the necklace off her neck. He came back with it and put it back to its original spot.
Jeff Probst – Immunity… is back up for grabs!
Stephannie nodded.
Jeff Probst – Before we get to the challenge, I’m gonna hand each of you a nut, and a shell.
We could see a bowl of nuts and a bowl of shell on a table. Jeff Probst was giving everyone a nut and a shell that they were picking from the two bowls. We could see Nate picking a shell with a hand and a nut with the other one.
Jeff Probst – Without confirming with anybody, put the shell in one hand, and the nut in the other hand. I’ll explain how these come into play in a minute.
Jerri was the last one to pick a shell and Jeff was finished giving them to the castaways. He came back in front of everybody.
Jeff Probst – For today’s challenge, this is going to be a puzzle race. Everybody will start at the first station, with an easy puzzle.
We could see someone take off the blanket on the station and there wasn’t too many pieces. The puzzle looked easy enough.
Jeff Probst – Once you completed the puzzle, raise your hand and I will check you.
We could see the finished puzzle. It was a yellow background and a black circle with an eye inside.
Jeff Probst – If I tell you it is alright, you will move on to the next puzzle that is going to be harder.
We could see the person moving to another station.
Jeff Probst – First person to finish the very last puzzle…
We could see the final puzzle completing itself, a very tough pattern of waves and lines.
Jeff Probst – … wins Immunity! Guaranteed a SEVEN shot, at a million dollars!
Everyone looked at Jeff.
Jeff Probst – Now, there’s a twist to this challenge! If immunity is not just that important to you, you don’t have to take part to today’s challenge. Instead, you can chow down…
Jeff took the blanket off the picnic table, and we could see a lot of food.
Jeff Probst – Cheese burgers, French fries… and beer!
We could see plates full of burgers, a bunch of bowl of French fries and many beers. It looked very appetizing.
Jeff Probst – You can eat for as long as the challenge goes or until the food runs out. Hide your shell and nut in your palm and close it.
We could see everyone closing their palm.
Jeff Probst – When I tell you to reveal, if you want to take part at the challenge, you will show me the shell, if instead you want to eat food, you will show me the nut. Three, two, one… reveal!
Everyone revealed.
Jeff Probst – Okay… Stephannie is gonna part in the challenge.
We could see the shell in Stephannie’s palm.
Jeff Probst – Erik will participate as well.
We could see Erik’s palm.
Jeff Probst – Todd’s taking part in the challenge…
We could see Todd staring at Jeff.
Jeff Probst – Nate taking part in the challenge…
Nate stopped showing his shell.
Jeff Probst – And Brian is taking part in the challenge…
Brian kept showing his palm to Jeff.
Jeff Probst – Jerri, Sugar and Natalie are all saying “I don’t need immunity”, I’m gonna eat. You three, take spot on the picnic table, the other five, take a spot, we’ll get started!
All five were ready, at their station.
Jeff Probst – Alright, it is Brian, Todd, Nate, Stephannie and Erik fighting for immunity… while Jerri, Natalie and Sugar chow down and enjoy the show!
We could see them three taking spot at the picnic table.
Jeff Probst – Survivors ready!?
Todd reacts.
Todd – I’m not ready!
Erik looked at him.
Erik – Todd, stop being a whore.
Stephannie laughs outloud.
Stephannie – Boo, you whore.
Todd – I’m not being a whore, I just wasn’t ready is all.
Jeff Probst – Survivors Ready!?
Everyone were ready.
Jeff Probst – GO!
Nate took off the blanket of the puzzle table and started working on his puzzle, just like Erik who was already placing some puzzle pieces. Stephannie was examining her pieces to know which ones to place first.
While they were competing, everyone at the picnic table were jumping in the burgers. Sugar just grabbed the beer and took a draft.
Todd had his entire border finished when Erik was close to be done.
Jeff Probst – Erik almost done with his puzzle!
Natalie just picked a bunch of French fries all at the same time and threw them in her mouth.
Erik raises his hand and we could see his puzzle being finished.
Jeff Probst – Erik finished the first puzzle!
While Erik was running to his next station, Todd just raised his hand and Jeff checked his puzzle.
Jeff Probst – Todd finished the first puzzle!
Natalie just licked her fingers and Jerri accidentally drops a burger on the ground because she was eating too fast and just picks another one in the plate instead.
Brian was trying to make a puzzle piece fit but it wasn’t working and he just kept forcing it over and over.
Jeff Probst – Brian having trouble.
Then, Nate finished his puzzle and raised his hand at the same time as Stephannie. Jeff looked at Nate first.
Jeff Probst – Nate finished the first puzzle!
We could see Stephannie impatient of being told to move on to the next station and Jeff looked at her puzzle.
Jeff Probst – Stephannie finished the first puzzle!
Stephannie and Nate arrived to their next station and Jerri took a draft of beer. We could also see Sugar’s mouth being full. After that, Erik just finished his puzzle.
Jeff Probst- Erik finished the second puzzle!
Erik moved on to his third station and Todd was trying to hurry placing his pieces. Jerri was watching them with French fries in her mouth.
Todd just added the last piece of his puzzle.
Jeff Probst – Todd finished the second puzzle!
Todd and Erik were now both on their third puzzle, while Nate and Stephannie were on their second behind. They were trying to finish as fast as possible and Brian seemed in complete trouble at the start. We could also see one of his pieces that fell on the ground. He destroyed some parts of his puzzle trying to figure out what’s wrong.
Erik just put his last piece.
Jeff Probst – Erik moves on to his final puzzle! It is his challenge to lose right now!
We could see everyone at the picnic table trying to eat faster. Nate and Stephannie had a few pieces left and Nate put his last one first.
Jeff Probst – Nate finished the second puzzle!
While Nate was running to his next station, Stephannie had just finished as well.
Jeff Probst – Stephannie finished the second puzzle!
She moved on the next station too. Todd was almost done with his puzzle and we could see Erik still working on his final puzzle. He had a tough time trying to place the pieces that never seemed to fit at all.
Jeff Probst – This challenge is not lost, anyone could still catch up on Erik, who has barely done anything on his puzzle yet.
Erik just placed a piece in the corner and Todd added the last piece of his puzzle.
Jeff Probst – Todd finished the third puzzle! He’s now moving onto the final puzzle!
When Todd arrived to his final puzzle, Erik tried to speed things up by placing more pieces and Todd was racing and not messing around.
Jeff Probst – This challenge is between Todd and Erik right now.
Erik and Todd seemed to be neck to neck with half their puzzle completed when Nate added his last piece.
Jeff Probst – Nate moving on to the final puzzle!
Nate ran to his last puzzle and Natalie took a long draft of beer. Brian finally looked under his puzzle table and saw the piece that had fell. He picked it up and slowly continued, knowing he was going to lose. Stephannie was trying to make a piece fit but it wasn’t working.
Nate finished one side of the border and Todd had only a few pieces left, just like Erik. It was just about who was going to place them faster. All the focus were on them, and everyone turned into watching.
Erik just placed a piece at the same time as Todd, and Erik had one last to place. He placed it and Jeff raised his hands in the air.
Jeff Probst – Erik wins Immunity!
Erik cheered.
Jeff Probst – Stop eating! You can keep what’s in your mouth!
We could see Sugar dropping her burger in her plate and Jerri having a bunch of French fries stuck in her mouth. Natalie finished eating.
Once everyone was back, Jeff walked towards Erik and put the necklace around his neck.
Jeff Probst – Individual immunity, you’re safe at tribal council, with this around your neck, you cannot be voted out.
Erik was smiling with his necklace around his neck. Jeff then looked at the others.
Jeff Probst – For the seven others of you, after twenty-five days, tomorrow night, this game will come to an end for one of you. Head back to camp, see you at tribal!
We could see everyone grabbing their bags on the mat and putting it on their shoulder, slowly leaving the challenge area.
MIOS NUM, DAY 25
Everybody was back to camp, and we could see Erik again with immunity around his neck. Stephannie looked at him.
Stephannie – Congrats, Erik!
Todd repeated.
Todd – Congrats.
Erik – Yay thanks. Oh my god.
Todd seemed jealous.
Todd – I had only like… six pieces left in the puzzle before Erik won. He had a four minute gap on me at one point.
Nobody replied to Todd, except that Brian looked at Erik.
Confessional Brian -
Erik winning immunity, it's not going to affect much. I am voting for Todd. I was irritated by him. He told me up front that he was voting for me last tribal so I guess it's pay back time? I talked to him at the merge and he ignored, he later came to me and said that he was merely "playing" his character. I think it's bull_____ and I think you are so done dude!

Todd – So who’s the vote tonight?
Nobody replied to him and went doing something. Todd raised his eye brow while walking away.
Confessional Todd -
I never got a straight answer... So might be me? Or just everyone are idiots. I will vote Brian, just to piss him off. Last tribal council, he just annoyed the _____ out of me. I think it's cause he made me repeat myself like eight times. It's a pet peeve of mine.

While he talked about him, we could see Brian moving to the water well.
MIOS NUM, DAY 26
During the morning, Todd was taking spoons of rice again. There wasn’t that many left but just enough for a few days still. The clouds were calm and were hiding the sun, making the day look dull and grey. Todd took a bite again.
Confessional Todd –
What if I eat all the food? Does our tribe even HAVE food? If I learn it's me, I'll cause chaos.
What if I eat all the food? Does our tribe even HAVE food? If I learn it's me, I'll cause chaos.
Todd glared at Brian, who just walked by. After him, Natalie came by. Todd did a sign to her and she stopped.
Todd – So who is the vote?
Natalie – Everyone said Stephannie to me.
Confessional Todd –
I have been told by Natalie that the vote is Stephannie. If it’s me, then damn, I didn’t get to eat everything.
I have been told by Natalie that the vote is Stephannie. If it’s me, then damn, I didn’t get to eat everything.
The clouds moved at a faster pace, and the Numfor four were talking together, with Natalie.
Sugar – So, what is going on?
Sugar looked at the three other Numfor.
Sugar - I think personally Todd is way more of a challenge threat.
Nate nods.
Natalie – Stephannie should go.
Nate was looking at Natalie.
Confessional Nate -
Steph, well, I don’t hate her but I feel sorry for her, she’s just a wandering soul in the game now, as much as I would like to help her get further, I can’t without breaking my word to Sugar and Natalie... yes, Natalie.
Steph, well, I don’t hate her but I feel sorry for her, she’s just a wandering soul in the game now, as much as I would like to help her get further, I can’t without breaking my word to Sugar and Natalie... yes, Natalie.
At the same time, we could see Stephannie, sitting on the edge of the shelter, removing rocks from her shoes.
Sugar pinched her lips, unsure of what the decision was going to be, and we could see Todd watching the bag of rice and then going away.
A bunch of ants were leaving their anthill in a fast forward. Brian just reached Stephannie. We could feel there was barely time remaining.
Brian – Steph, people are gunning for you and I need to let you know.
Stephannie – What?
Brian – I will vote for Todd cause he told me I was gone if it was not Anthony or you. So I guess he got to leave since Erik got immunity.
Stephannie nods.
Brian – I hope you understand and I do wish to go further into the game with you since it was all said last time. So I hope you will vote for Todd at tribal council.
Stephannie – I will vote for Todd, and I will just hope for the best.
Brian – Good.
Confessional Brian -
Another original Yapen got to leave so that me, Nate, Jerri and Sugar will go to the end. It's getting down the line and I am not going to go home. If I do, I am going to make them suffer.
Another original Yapen got to leave so that me, Nate, Jerri and Sugar will go to the end. It's getting down the line and I am not going to go home. If I do, I am going to make them suffer.
Suddenly, a monkey just screamed.
We could see Nate, Jerri, Sugar and Brian, the four original Numfor, packing their belongings together. And after that, we could see Stephannie carrying her torch along the beach, followed by the rest of her tribe mates in the line. She looked nervous.
Confessional Stephannie –
Things don’t look so good for me, I don’t want to give up, but this just sucks… I don’t expect to make it this time…
Things don’t look so good for me, I don’t want to give up, but this just sucks… I don’t expect to make it this time…
TRIBAL COUNCIL
The sun settled down to leave the sky to the moon surrounded of bright stars. The eight Mios Num were heading to tribal council in one straight line. Todd entered tribal council first with his torch, followed by Stephannie and Natalie right behind. When Stephannie put her torch on a hold, we can see Erik entering tribal council followed by Sugar. After Todd put his torch on a hold, it was Erik who did. We see Natalie sitting down so does everyone. The last one to sit down was Nate. Jeff imitated him and began tribal council.
Jeff Probst - Now bringing the members of our jury…
Anthony walks in tribal council.
Jeff Probst - Anthony, voted out last tribal council!
Anthony heads to the jury bench and sits down as he smiles to the tribe. Stephannie looks at him smiling.
Jeff Probst - You cannot address yourself to the jury, neither can they, they are only here to observe, in order to make a million dollar decision in the end. Welcome to tribal council, Mios Num.
We can see Erik wearing the necklace.
Jeff Probst - So let's start with Erik, congratulations for your immunity necklace. So how does it feels to enter tribal council with that necklace around your neck?
Erik - SO GOOD! Knowing that nothing can happen to me is incredible.
Jeff Probst - Do you feel like a threat because of it?
Erik - In some way yes, but other people do have their qualities that makes them strong, which can have them seen as a threat.
Jeff Probst - On a scale of ten, how much do you feel like you needed that necklace?
Erik - Umm, hopefully I didn't need it too much, so I'll go with a solid six.
Todd looks at him.
Jeff Probst - Nate, how hard is this game at this point?
Nate - The game is hard, REAL hard.
Nate winks.
Natalie - You're a pervert.
Jeff Probst - Do you see clear on what's going on?
Nate - No because this is survivor, if you think you see it clear, you getting too cocky.
Jeff Probst - Stephannie, do you think you are in a better standing than you were before or it becomes worst for you now?
Stephannie - I think it's getting worse, obviously as there are less people left in the game, it's a higher chance of me going.
Jeff Probst - So how worried are you tonight that it might be you?
Stephannie - I'm a little worried. I didn't really talk to anyone about this vote.
Jeff Probst - Natalie, what kind of people are threats for you at this point of the game?
Natalie - Um everyone? You would have to be a fool to not look at everyone as a threat in the game.
Jeff Probst - Then what kind of people are more of a threat than others?
Natalie - The annoying ones.
Jeff Probst - Do you think there are chances that person leaves tonight?
Natalie - I mean he could.
Jeff Probst - Todd, she said he, what if it was you? Do you feel like you are annoying?
Todd - Bitch! I know I'm annoying. But I'm the fun type.
Jeff Probst - Sugar, last night votes were all over the place, will that happen again?
Sugar - I don't really know Jeff, it very well could happen again.
Jeff Probst - Do you think you have enough solid bonds with these people around you?
Nate and Natalie look at her.
Sugar - With some of them I feel that I do.
Jeff Probst - If people thought it should be held against you, what would you tell them?
Sugar - That they are in denial, we all have bonds.
Jeff Probst - Stephannie, do you think tonight's vote will be a shocker?
Stephannie - No, I don't really think so, whoever goes will be expecting it, I think.
Jeff Probst - What if it was you? Would you be shocked if it happened?
Stephannie - Not really.
Jeff Probst - Brian, how hard will be tonight's vote?
Brian - It's a crucial vote for me tonight, last tribal's outcome was way out of my expectations. I almost got voted off! I was so not expecting that at all! All those talk about tribal lines are still in play somehow or another. It's BS that people are saying that it's no longer in play. Come on, it's either you already know all these people in the real world or people are just going to vote on tribal lines. It is a matter of old Tribes vs. New Tribes I think.
Jeff Probst - Does anyone feel the need of pleading their case tonight?
Brian raises his hand.
Brian - Yeah, I definitely think that Stephannie should step up to keep herself in the game. People are gunning for her and I think she ought to know. She is someone whom I don't wish to see blindsided by all these stupid dramas going on…
Stephannie - I know I am at risk tonight. I'm sure you've made up your mind, but I just want to say you all know what type of game I play, I'm not going to be the type to purposely backstab everyone, I would like it if you would give me your vote to stay. That's all but good luck everyone.
Jeff Probst - Erik, as you know you could always give up your immunity to somebody else or you could just keep it, What are you going to do?
Erik - Keeping it.
Jeff Probst - Alright, you cannot vote for Erik, everybody else is fair game… it is… time to vote… Todd, you're up!
Todd stood up of the bench and reached the voting podium. After him, Jerri votes, followed by Nate who put his vote in the urn. Brian headed to the voting podium and took the pencil. Then, Natalie headed to the voting podium, so did Erik. Sugar put her vote in the urn, and finally, Stephannie arrives to vote. She writes down a name as we can see a flame burning. She then returned on the bench when Jeff was ready to go tally the votes.
Jeff Probst - I'll tally the votes…
While Jeff was gone tallying the votes, we could see Todd looking at his nails and Stephannie being worried. This time, Brian was also worried. Jeff came back with the voting urn.
Jeff Probst - Once the votes are read, decision is final, person voted out will be asked to leave tribal council immediately… I'll read the votes…
1st Vote...
1 Stephannie.
Stephannie looked worried.
2nd Vote...
2 Stephannie.
Stephannie looked at Brian.
3rd Vote...
2 Stephannie, 1 Todd.
Todd didn't react.
4th Vote...
2 Stephannie, 1 Todd, 1 Brian.
Brian doesn't budge.
5th Vote...
2 Stephannie, 2 Todd, 1 Brian.
Todd laughs.
6th Vote...
3 Todd, 2 Stephannie, 1 Brian.
Todd continued staring at Jeff.
7th Vote...
And the 9th person voted out of Survivor: Indonesia and 2nd member of the jury…
5 Todd, 2 Stephannie, 1 Brian.
Todd - Totally saw it coming!
Todd stood up.
Jeff Probst - Todd, that's enough, you need to bring me your torch!
Todd grabbed his torch and gave it to Jeff who already swung his torch snuffer.
Jeff Probst - Todd, tribe has spoken!
When Todd's torch got snuffed, he walked away from tribal council and Jeff looked at the tribe.
Jeff Probst - Seems like Yapen is falling apart and Numfor gained numbers… Grab torches, head back to camp!
Erik took his bags and stand up, so does everyone else. Jerri takes her torch and walks away with the rest of the tribe.
FINAL WORDS
We could see Todd telling his final words.
Final Words Todd -
I am spiteful. I am fine with being voted out, but it just means I get to have fun as a juror now. I think they got rid of me because they are assholes who take things personally. Nate and Sugar totally backstabbed me. The only way I'll vote either to win is if they are against each other in the end. I would love to be able to play this game again. My only regret in this game is not to eat all that damn food before going to tribal council!

While Todd was telling his final words, we could see whom everyone voted for.
Brian - Todd
Jerri - Stephannie
Natalie - Todd
Erik - Stephannie
Sugar - Todd
Nate - Todd
Stephannie - Todd
Todd - Brian
MIOS NUM, NIGHT 26
We could see a crab doing a night walk near some shells and nearby, the castaways were coming back from tribal council with their torches. The noise they were doing scared that crab that hid itself in a small hole. They took place around the cracking campfire.
Stephannie – I admit, I fully expected to go.
Natalie seemed to wonder why everyone were sitting around campfire.
Natalie – We were going to do anything?
Nate laughs.
Natalie – Oh.
Natalie points herself.
Natalie – I am blonde, brainless.
There was a silent moment and Natalie looked at Sugar.
Natalie – You love me, boo.
Nate – Oh thanks Natalie.
Natalie turned around.
Natalie – Ew, not you.
Sugar smiled.
Confessional Sugar -
I don't think they know Nat is working with us to the degree she is, and I am unsure at this point who I want to go to the end with, not one hundred percent sure.
I don't think they know Nat is working with us to the degree she is, and I am unsure at this point who I want to go to the end with, not one hundred percent sure.
Stephannie did not look involved in their conversation.
Confessional Stephannie -
I thought I was going last round. I think that Nate and or Brian will be in the finales to be honest, because they seem to be in control, and I don't really have a choice except go with them.
I thought I was going last round. I think that Nate and or Brian will be in the finales to be honest, because they seem to be in control, and I don't really have a choice except go with them.
We could see Nate and Brian high fiving each other in the dark.
MIOS NUM, DAY 27
Birds were playing in the waves and we could sense that it was about to rain soon, because there were no sun and the sky was grey above camp and black above the ocean.
Stephannie was alone in the shelter, looking through things in her bag and then looking at the horizon at times. She could see Natalie trying to fish with a net.
Confessional Stephannie -
I don't really know what to do right now. I would probably be doomed already, but I would have to try to see if Natalie would be willing to try to shake things up.
I don't really know what to do right now. I would probably be doomed already, but I would have to try to see if Natalie would be willing to try to shake things up.
She stood up and went to her.
Stephannie – We haven’t talked in a while.
Natalie – It’s okay babe. How are you?
Stephannie – I’m okay, how are you? I’m just getting nervous about another vote soon.
Natalie – I am so tired.
Natalie stopped talking and Stephannie was watching her trying to catch fish. A wave just hit the shore again. After a moment of silence, Stephannie continued talking.
Stephannie – I’m going.
Natalie – Okay.
Stephannie left Natalie alone and we could see her finally getting a fish that she threw into a basket next to her.
When Natalie picked the basket that contained two or three fishes, it started raining. While she was bringing those fish to camp, we could see Jerri covering herself with a blanket, freezing. The wind had already arrived and we could see her hair getting whipped by it.
Jerri didn’t seem too feel well and was watching Natalie cut fishes. She put the hat on her face, tired of receiving wind in her nose.
MIOS NUM, DAY 28
We could see droplets falling into the bucket that was already running over. It looked miserable, but regardless, Nate and Brian were gone checking the tree-mail.
Nate – We need to make sure Erik doesn’t win, we so got this shit.
We could see Erik trying to make Jerri warm.
Brian – Yeah!
Nate opened the tree-mail box and retrieved tree-mail before coming back to camp with it. Everyone turned around to listen when they entered the shelter with it. Brian unrolled it for Nate.
Nate – “For today’s challenge, your agility will be put to the test. Fear the water or you could be the next to go.”
A wave just hit the shore and we quickly changed scene into the challenge field.
CHALLENGE FIELD
We could see the settlement of the challenge: The orange tribal mat was on the beach, while the challenge settlement was a large platform on the water. There were two long platforms that represented two sides of the settlement with seven balance beams in-between. The balance beams were long. Nearby on the beach, Jeff was waiting on the tribes to come.
Jeff Probst – Come on in guys!
Far away, we could see the seven remaining Mios Num coming along the beach. Once they arrived, we could see Natalie and Jerri dropping their bags on the mat. Jeff looked at Erik’s immunity necklace.
Jeff Probst – First thing first... Erik, give me back immunity!
Erik turned around and Jeff goes behind his back. He takes the necklace off his neck and put it back at its original spot.
Jeff Probst – Immunity... is back up for grabs!
Jeff tattled the immunity necklace as he was getting ready to explain the challenge.
Jeff Probst – For today’s challenge, it is very simple. It will be played in four rounds. In the first round, the seven of you will take place in front of a balance beam.
We can see someone placed in front of a long balance beam.
Jeff Probst – On my go, you will cross that balance beam as fast as you can.
We see someone crossing the balance beam.
Jeff Probst – Your goal, is getting to the other side of the balance beam, on the platform first.
We see someone arriving to the other side of the beam.
Jeff Probst – In the first round, the first five to cross the balance beam move on to the second round, in which the first three will move on to the third round. In the third round, the first two to cross the balance beam move on to the final round. In the final round, first person to get to the other side wins immunity!
We can see the immunity necklace.
Jeff Probst – Every round, I will rotate the balance beams to make them harder to cross!
We can see a balance beam rotating on itself, becoming tinier.
Jeff Probst - Do I have enough statements?
Stephannie and Nate nod.
Brian – Yep!
Jeff Probst – Take a spot... we’ll get started!
The clouds moved at a fast pace as everyone had taken a spot in front of a balance beam. Sugar was wet and was in front of her balance beam, as Jeff was about to start the challenge.
Jeff Probst – The first five to cross the balance beam move on to the next round! Survivors Ready!?
Nate stares at his balance beam.
Jeff Probst – GO!
Everyone stepped on their balance beam and started crossing it. Erik was carefully taking his time to cross it, while Nate was doing it at a regular speed. Jerri just slid down in the water.
Jeff Probst – Jerri got to start it over!
Jerri just resurfaced and swam back to the starting platform. After Stephannie had done a few steps forward, she decided to run the whole balance beam.
Jeff Probst – Stephannie’s running along the balance beam!
She jumps on the other side.
Jeff Probst – Stephannie is moving on to the next round!
Brian and Nate were neck to neck, while the three girls, Jerri, Natalie and Sugar, were still at the beginning of their balance beam. Natalie just slid and fell in the water.
Jeff Probst – The three girls having trouble!
Erik just stepped forward and was now in the middle of his balance beam. Nate and Brian were almost arrived. Brian ran the rest and jumped on the platform while Nate ran the rest of the balance beam until he reaches the platform.
Jeff Probst – Brian and Nate are moving on to the next round! Two more spots!
We could see Sugar swimming back to her platform, Erik stepping forward slowly on his balance beam, Jerri falling in the water, and Natalie stepping forward.
Jeff Probst – Erik is almost arrived!
Erik had two or three more steps to do and he was arrived. Jerri just fell in the water and Sugar just stepped on her balance beam. Erik crossed to the other platform.
Jeff Probst – Erik is moving on to the next round! One more spot!
It was a showdown between Sugar and Natalie as both were to the middle of their balance beam. Sugar was faster than Natalie, while Jerri just fell in the water again. While Natalie just stepped forward, Sugar ran the rest of her balance beam and arrived to the other side of the platform.
Jeff Probst – Sugar is moving on to the next round! Natalie and Jerri are out of the challenge!
Natalie jumped in the water and rejoined Jerri on the starting platform, where there was a sitting out bench. They both sat down. Meanwhile, we see Jeff rolling a wheel and all the balance beams rotated on themselves. The old surface of the beam was large enough, and this time, it was half that size. After that, he pulled two levers and two beams removed themselves. There were now five beams remaining, and Brian, Stephannie, Erik, Sugar and Nate were in front of them.
Jeff Probst – The second round is about to begin... First three to the other side move on to the third round! Survivors Ready!?
Brian stares at his beam and Sugar looks at Jeff.
Jeff Probst - GO!
This time, Erik didn’t take his time; he was quickly walking along the balance beam. Stephannie stepped forward at a regular speed. Sugar was losing a little bit of her balance but she recovered and put her foot back on the balance beam. Nate and Brian were neck to neck again and they were more careful this time. When Brian tried to step forward, his foot slid and he fell in the water.
Jeff Probst – Brian first in the water!
Brian slapped on the water as he looked at the others advancing on the balance beam. He swam back to the platform and Erik just crossed the balance beam.
Jeff Probst – Erik is moving on to the next round! Two more spots!
Stephannie had done half the beam and decided to run the rest. She almost slid down but she succeeded getting to the other side.
Jeff Probst – Stephannie is moving on to the next round! One more spot! It is between Sugar, Brian and Nate now!
Brian just restarted over on the balance beam, and Nate was almost to the end. Sugar just fell in the water.
Jeff Probst – Nate might have it!
Just when Jeff said that, Nate slid down in the water and Brian took the lead by running on the beam. Nate slapped the water.
Nate – Oh my god, ______!
Sugar just restarted on the beam when Brian finished crossing the balance beam.
Jeff Probst – And Brian is moving on to the next round! Sugar and Nate are out of the challenge!
Jeff just pulled two levers and two beams removed themselves. He then turned a wheel and the beams rotated themselves. This time, the beam was large enough, except that it was rounded. Nate and Sugar just sat down on the bench with Natalie and Jerri when Brian, Stephannie and Erik were ready to go for the next round.
Jeff Probst – This is the third round... First two to cross their beam move on to the final round! Survivors Ready...?
Stephannie stared at her beam.
Jeff Probst – GO!
The three of them, Stephannie, Erik and Brian, put their foot on the rounded balanced beam. Stephannie and Brian were slowly stepping forward and were recovering their balance every steps. Meanwhile, Erik was kind of running along the balance beam again.
Jeff Probst – Erik took the lead!
Erik stopped running a little after the middle of the beam and had a huge advantage on the others. He was now stepping forward as fast as the two others. Stephannie was a little faster than Brian.
Jeff Probst – Stephannie just gained some lead on Brian.
Brian almost fell off but recovered his balanced and advanced a few steps again. Erik was almost to the end and he ran the rest until he gets on the platform.
Jeff Probst – Erik is moving on to the final round! There is now one more spot! It is between Brian and Stephannie.
Stephannie had for about one meter of a lead on Brian and both of them were stepping forward at a faster pace. All of a sudden, Brian decided to run along the beam. Hearing his feet, Stephannie decided to run too. They were both neck to neck. Right before the end, Brian slid in the water and Stephannie crossed the beam first.
Jeff Probst – Stephannie is moving on to the final round! Brian is out of the challenge!
Jeff pulled on one lever and only one beam disappeared, there were two beams left. He turned the wheel and the beams rotated: it was now tinier, and still rounded. Brian just sat on the bench while Erik and Stephannie were ready for the last round.
Jeff Probst – For immunity... Survivors ready?!
Erik stares at his balance beam, while Stephannie stares his feet and then turned around to look at her beam.
Jeff Probst – GO!
Erik, as usual, started the beam by running. When Stephannie stepped on the beam, she imitated him and ran along the beam. Erik stopped running in the middle, but instead of stopping, Stephannie ran the rest. Around the end, she lost some balance and her arms were swinging in the air as she was trying to recover. Erik looked at her and continued moving on at a regular speed. She finally recovered and walked the few last steps to the platform.
Jeff Probst – Stephannie wins Immunity!
Stephannie cheered and Nate smiled. Erik didn’t seem happy. After a few seconds, everyone was back to their mat. Jeff had the immunity necklace and he reached Stephannie.
Jeff Probst – Stephannie, this is what you earned... immunity...
Jeff put himself behind her and attached the necklace around her neck.
Jeff Probst – Tomorrow night, Stephannie cannot be voted out.
Once he was finished, he looked at the rest.
Jeff Probst – For the rest of you, I cannot say the same thing, one of you will be going home tonight. Grab stuff, head back to camp!
Erik grabbed his bag like Natalie and they walked away from the challenge field.
MIOS NUM, DAY 28
The tribe was back to camp, and Jerri went laying inside the shelter, taking most of the place. Stephannie was smiling.
Stephannie – Finally, I win one, and good job Erik.
Erik did not respond and walked away.
Nate – Grats, Steph!
Brian – Good job.
Nate – You two killed it.
Letting them congratulate Stephannie, Erik sat on the edge of shelter next to Jerri, unpleased of losing.
Confessional Erik -
My thoughts are that I’m screwed since me and Nat are outnumbered and I’m pretty sure I’m the one going. I lost so I guess stay loyal and see how that takes me.

Erik looked at the ground and the sun went sleeping.
MIOS NUM, DAY 29
Brian was sharpening both machete the tribe had. He seemed to be thinking and he just looked at Erik.
Confessional Brian –
Plan is to take Erik out next. For me, it’s the original Yapen going over the next few tribals.

Nate was sitting next to Brian and he looked at him.
Brian – Erik still?
Nate – Yes.
Brian continued sharpening his machete.
Confessional Brian –
I was thinking of making use of the last Yapen to take out Nate and Sugar. I hope the last Yapen would be Steph.

Stephannie added a wooden stick to feed the fire.
Confessional Brian –
There is also a chance that Nate and Sugar already thought of it and I might be blindsided at five which I will be pissed if it happens.

Brian finished sharpening the machete and looked at it for a moment. He blew on it for no reason and walked away, which left Nate alone with Stephannie. She looked at him going away.
Confessional Stephannie -
I'm becoming a floater now... Well, I don't mean a floater, I mean more under the radar I guess. Like no one talks to me until tribal council time, I feel like right now, I'm just an extra vote.

Stephannie – Well, I’m still voting Erik.
Nate – I would like to keep you around, work with you more but I don’t know if that would be possible given our current situation so the best I could offer you is to let you try to win immunity again.
Stephannie nodded.
Nate – But do not tell anyone, if you do, that’s only gonna hurt you and me.
Stephannie – Yea, I know.
Stephannie was staring at the fire’s steam while responding.
Stephannie – I know I’m probably next, but voting against you guys really won’t help me.
Nate – Well, I would like to keep you around so… Shhh!
Stephannie – Okay.
Nate – I’ll see what I can do, and I’ll let you know.
Stephannie – Thank you.
Nate walked away, leaving Stephannie alone. She added another stick to the fire.
Confessional Stephannie –
For this vote, I’ve only heard one option, and it makes the most sense to me. Erik is the strongest player left, it’s almost impossible to win immunity against him. I didn’t think I would be able to beat him last time, and I just barely did. We need to get rid of Erik while we have a chance.

A crab was playing in the water, and then we could see Sugar in the water with Nate and Natalie.
Sugar – Tribal council is in ten minutes.
Natalie just wet her hair, looking at Sugar.
Confessional Sugar –
Currently, I am aligned with Nate, Nat, Brian and Jerri. I have Nate that is so loud and obvious we are together...
Currently, I am aligned with Nate, Nat, Brian and Jerri. I have Nate that is so loud and obvious we are together...
We could see Nate hugging Sugar in the water in front of Natalie.
Nate - Our threesome should get to the end together...
Natalie - Mhm...
Sugar - I don't trust Brian and Jerri.
Natalie replaced her hair, just like Sugar.
Confessional Sugar -
I am not sure where Jerri stands to be honest, she has always made me a bit nervous. Brian as well just because he is so quiet, I get concerned they both may flip.

We could see Brian innocently cutting some wood and Jerri picking her torch to go to tribal council.
TRIBAL COUNCIL
All of a sudden, the sun settled down to let the place to the Moon. It was surrounded by the bright stars of the night. We then had a view on the tribal council, with seven Mios Num heading inside the fences of the village in one straight line. Stephannie entered first, followed by Brian right behind. Natalie put her torch on a hold, so does Sugar. Nate sits down, and Stephannie does the same. Erik put his torch on a hold and he was the last one to sit down, imitated by Jeff.
Jeff Probst - Now bringing the members of our jury…
As we had a view on the entrance of the tribal council village, we see Anthony coming.
Jeff Probst - Anthony…
Right behind Anthony was Todd who was also heading to the jury bench.
Jeff Probst - And Todd, voted out last tribal council!
Anthony smile at the jury as Todd looks at his nails looking at the tribe with a bitchy attitude.
Jeff Probst - Juries are only here to observe, you cannot address them neither can they. So welcome to tribal council, Mios Num!
Jeff Probst - So let's start with that immunity challenge, congratulations Stephannie, how does that feel to have that around your neck?
We can see Stephannie wearing her immunity necklace as Anthony smiles.
Stephannie - It feels great, I didn't I would be able to win against Erik to be honest.
Jeff Probst - Did you feel like you were going home?
Stephannie - I do think I could have gone if Erik won immunity!
Erik looks at her.
Jeff Probst - Erik, it was between you and Stephannie in the end, do you think you could be seen like a threat and be voted out because of that?
Erik - Oh yeah, no doubt. However, it wasn't really a challenge involving too much skill, so maybe people could look past it, but people excel at certain challenges?
Jeff Probst - How would you feel going home tonight because of a challenge?
Erik - It would suck, but that is in every case. It just adds that extra kick in the gut and gives you the what it is you have when you leave.
Jeff Probst - Natalie, since Final 11, only Yapen went home one by one, you had majority, and now, it is Numfor that has majority. In the past few tribal councils, you all talked about an individual game, do you still think it is an individual game?
Natalie - I do think it is individual and to be honest sometimes losing a lot as a tribe bonds you better than winning a lot so I am not surprise how the game turned out.
Jeff Probst - If it wasn't an individual game, do you think you can still make it far?
Natalie - I mean I would love to say yeah I could but you just never know in a game like this. It could be me tonight who knows.
Jeff Probst - Nate, everyone seems to say it is individual, but why do you think Yapen went home one by one since the merge, and if not before!?
Nate - Cause I planted the seeds… literally.
Nate laughs outloud.
Nate - It is a joke. I think they went home because Numfor was able to stick it out together while Yapen kind of went scrambling.
Jeff Probst - Does that mean they are all screwed?
Nate - If they are female? Literally yes but not in the sense you are implying.
Jeff Probst - Sugar, At this point of the game, do people trust their allies better than before or less than they used to?
Todd rolls his eyes.
Sugar - I think it all depends on what you have been through with your allies Jeff. Sorry got sidetracked when Todd rolled his eyes.
Jeff Probst - Do you think you can trust your allies?
Sugar - I do trust them.
Jeff Probst - Brian, you said last tribal council that this game was about numbers, do you still think so?
Brian - Yeah I still think so, no doubt.
Jeff Probst - Do you think Numfor will really stick together this tribal council?
Brian - I think having been through a losing streak bonded us together. That might give us an advantage over the Yapen cause they had it all… winning again and again… causing people from the tribe to scramble quite a bit which Numfor could not because we just don't have much room to scramble.
Jeff Probst - Stephannie, instead of pointing finger at the biggest threats, is there anyone here who clearly isn't threat at all?
Stephannie - Uhh… obviously Jerri. She can't possibly win anything.
Jeff Probst - Does that put a target on her back or not at all?
Stephannie - It should, because she's getting a free ride to the finals, but I think she'll stick around a while since she's like nonexistent.
Jeff Probst - Natalie, there usually is a mastermind in every survivor game, do you have an idea who that person is?
Natalie - Well I originally thought it was Nate but after speaking to him I changed my mind about that. So at this point I don't think any of the four of them are mastermind. I have personally never spoken to Brian and Jerri is about as useful as a piece of dirt. And Sugar I mean really?
Brian - Thanks Natalie… I needed that.
Jeff Probst - In that case, do you think you are the mastermind?
Natalie - I am blonde, I don't think.
Jeff Probst - Nate, do you think you have a shot at winning with the jury so far?
Todd seems to anticipate the answer.
Nate - Jeff, if I say yes, I am guaranteeing I don't win if I make it to the end. I'm not at final tribal council so I have no liberty to answer your question.
Jeff Probst - Stephannie, how hard will be tonight's decision?
Stephannie - I have two options, and only one makes sense to me numbers wise.
Jeff Probst - Alright, let's see how it will turn out! Stephannie, as always you could give your immunity to somebody or you can keep it…
Stephannie - Keeping it.
Jeff Probst - Alright! Cannot vote for Stephannie, everybody else is fair game… It is... time to vote...... Nate, you're up!
Nate headed to the voting podium, then we could see Jerri voting, followed by Natalie who put her vote in the urn. After that, we see Erik taking off the cap of the pencil. He put his vote in the urn and Stephannie came to the voting podium. Sugar voted and Brian returned to the bench. Jeff was ready to go tally the votes.
Jeff Probst - I'll tally the votes…
Jeff went away to tally the votes. During that time, we could see Erik looking at Natalie, and Nate feeling confident.
Jeff Probst - Once the votes are read, decision is final, person voted out will be asked to leave tribal council immediately… I'll read the votes…
1st Vote...
1 Erik.
Erik raised his eyebrow.
2nd Vote...
1 Erik, 1 Nate.
Nate looked at Erik.
3rd Vote...
2 Erik, 1 Nate.
Stephannie looked at Erik.
4th Vote...
3 Erik, 1 Nate.
Erik - I think people are confused… we are voting for a loser, not the winner, that's later on.
Erik looked at Natalie.
5th Vote...
And the 10th person voted out of Survivor: Indonesia and 3rd member of the jury…
6 Erik, 1 Nate.
Erik stood up from his seat.
Jeff Probst - Erik, that's enough, you need to bring me your torch!
Erik - It's okay… no hard feelings.
Erik grabbed his torch and gave it to Jeff who already swang his torch snuffer.
Jeff Probst - Erik, tribe has spoken!
Once his torch was snuffed, Erik looked at his tribe.
Erik - But good luck to all of you, especially Nat.
Erik left tribal council and Jeff looked at the tribe.
Jeff Probst - Seems like Yapen is down to two… while Numfor has four. Hoping for you, Yapen, that it is not going to be a numbers game! Grab torches, head back to camp!
Stephannie smiled and stood up of the bench, imitated by Nate next to her who grabbed his torch. The whole tribe then moved out of tribal council.
CLOSING
Voiceover - Next time on... Survivor!
Voiceover - Now that Numfor has the numbers, Natalie has some plans...
Natalie (To Stephannie) - I have been trying to break their foursome for a while...
We could see Jerri walking around.
Stephannie (To Natalie) - I wonder if that's enough to make her vote with us though.
Confessional Stephannie - Hopefully, Nat and I can break them up!
Confessional Natalie - I hope it works out in my favor.
Voiceover - An episode that will make you SLEEP!
We could see a snake wandering around.
Voiceover - But with a SHOCKING ENDING!
We could see all the tribe members walking to tribal council in one straight line with the big word "SHOCKING".
FINAL WORDS
We could see Erik telling his final words.
Final Words Erik -
It sucks, but I knew it was coming. Obviously they saw me as a threat, I was either winning the challenge for my tribe, myself or getting close to it. I wasn't weak at anything. Had Todd, Natalie and I not divided ourselves from the rest of Yapen, maybe we could have got Stephannie and Jenna with us. Definitely rooting for Natalie, she's my favourite left. I don't care if she has lied or did lie to me this time, she is better than the rest. I just wish I would have beat Stephannie in that last immunity challenge.
