"Losing is not an Option"
Brian, Gabriel, Jerri, Nate, Sugar, Tyson.
Anthony, Charlie, Erik, Jenna, Natalie, Scout, Stephannie, Todd.
Voiceover - Previously on… Survivor!
Voiceover - After losing their first immunity challenge, Numfor had to go to tribal council and they voted off the girl who wanted to quit…
Laura: Someone asked to be voted out.
Laura points at Alexis.
Jeff Probst - Alexis, tribe has spoken!
We could see Alexis's torch getting snuffed.
Voiceover - However, one player felt excluded from the tribe.
Sugar - Feed me and I'm all yours.
Gabriel - Dirty.
Nobody noticed Gabriel.
Confessional Gabriel - I am quite worried, they are all very open, I'm not into this at all.
Voiceover - While at Yapen, the problems were slowly emerging when everyone were scrambling around for alliances...
Jenna - Do you want to work together?
Todd - Sure!
Anthony - Would you like an alliance?
Scout - I'll love to ally myself with you.
Anthony - So, you me, Jenna and Scout are working together?
Stephannie - Yeah, definitely.
Anthony - Me, you and Stephannie, final three.
Jenna - Good idea.
Natalie - What do you think about working together?
Anthony - That sounds good to me.
Voiceover - But when Natalie tried to lure Charlie in, he declined that offer and made it clear he did not like his tribe!
Charlie - I don't like them, I hate our tribe.
Confessional Charlie - This tribe is a bunch of retards!
We could see the faces of everyone from his tribe one by one.
Voiceover - Even though Yapen had no unity, they still came strong in immunity challenges!
Stephannie pushed on Sugar's belly and she fell off.
Jeff Probst - Yapen wins Immunity!
Voiceover - Forced to get rid of another member, Numfor targeted their member who was doing nothing at camp.
Tyson - Bitch still hasn't done shit at camp.
Sugar - Does she even know we have a camp?
Voiceover - At tribal council, the whole tribe voted for her to go.
Jeff Probst - Laura, tribe has spoken!
Jeff snuffed her torch.
Voiceover - Now… fourteen people are left, who will be voted out… tonight!?
NUMFOR, NIGHT 6
Numfor was walking back to camp with their torches in hands. A striped snake was stalking at them, hidden in the grass, watching their every move. Jerri just dumped her torch somewhere in the grass, just like everybody else. Everything was wet, including the sand on the beach.
Jerri - Yikes, it is all wet!
There were still some droplets raining sometimes, so they decided to head to their shelter immediately. We could see Sugar trying to find herself a spot among her tribe mates under the shelter.
Confessional Sugar -
Thanks god Laura was such a gross bitch nobody thought twice about voting her out.
Thanks god Laura was such a gross bitch nobody thought twice about voting her out.
YAPEN, DAY 7
The sun was raising to announce the morning and it was still raining. Everyone were stuck inside their shelter, freezing, unable to get to work. We could see their campfire, barely alive, on the edge of getting extinguished. Sometimes, Charlie was staring at the fire hoping it stays alive. At a moment, Stephannie left the shelter alone.
She arrived to the tree-mail and found nothing inside of it. When she turned around, Natalie was behind her.
Natalie - What are you doing?
Stephannie - Oh, I am looking if we got anything in tree-mail.
We could see in the sky another lightning that hit somewhere in the ocean and Natalie had her hair completely wet.
Stephannie - Guess I will head back to camp.
Natalie nods.
Natalie - So what do you think about sticking together, girl?
Stephannie - I would love that. You seem nice and really strong in this game.
Natalie - I feel the same girl.
Stephannie - Great.
Stephannie smiles.
Confessional Stephannie -
I haven't talked one on one to everyone yet, but I have talked to Natalie some, and we also have a small alliance, I'll try to keep her as long as possible, the rest, I haven't really talked to yet. Everyone seems to get along where it counts, at least during the challenges.

NUMFOR, DAY 7
We could see the black clouds getting away from the sky to leave the place to the sun and white clouds. Everyone were sitting inside the shelter, and they noticed the rain was over. Everything was still wet though.
Sugar - Think we got tree-mail?
Brian - I'll check it out...
Brian stood up and after a little walk, Brian just arrived to the tree-mail. He retrieved a mail. He headed back to camp where the rest of the tribe was waiting on him to read it. Once he opened the parchment, he started reading outloud. Meanwhile, we could see what was written on it.
Brian - "For today's challenge, you will be pulling your way to your reward. As a group, you will work together through the path of the win."
The words path, group, pulling and reward were underlined.
Tyson - Great!
We could see the tribe packing their stuff, ready to go win the challenge. Nate closed the walk with the tribal flag on his left shoulder.
CHALLENGE FIELD
We could see the challenge settlement in the highlands: There were two unlighted fire barrel. Each next to a tribal mat. And in front of each fire barrel, there was a gigantic wooden statue with five ropes attached on different parts of the body. It seemed like you would need those ropes to pull the statue. Nearby, Jeff was waiting on the tribes to come.
Jeff Probst - Come on in guys!
Further, we could see the eight Yapen coming in one straight line with Erik holding their tribal flag. One they arrived, they dropped their bag and looked at the opposite direction, seeing the six Numfor coming in one straight line too. Once they arrived, Jeff looked at Yapen.
Jeff Probst - Yapen, take a look at the new Numfor tribe... Laura was voted out last tribal council!
The Yapen looked at Numfor, but there wasn't a lot of reactions.
Jeff Probst - So for today's challenge, it is fair simple... each tribe has a huge statue to drag through the jungle.
We could see a statue sliding on the ground.
Jeff Probst - The statue has five ropes each. So five people can use them to pull the statue.
We could see someone pulling on a rope to drag the statue.
Jeff Probst - One member from each tribe will carry a torch.
We could see someone carrying a torch and following the sliding statue.
Jeff Probst - The goal is to race to the flame, that is located hundreds of meters away from here.
We could see a flame in a fire barrel, far away.
Jeff Probst - Once the statue crossed the line...
We could see the sliding statue crossing a line on the ground.
Jeff Probst - The torch carryer will dip their torch in the fire barrel in order to get fire.
We could see the person who had the torch dip it in fire.
Jeff Probst - And you will race back to the start.
We could see a group of people pulling their statue back to the start.
Jeff Probst - First tribe to get their statue back and light their fire barrel wins reward.
We could see someone lighting their fire barrel.
Jeff Probst - Makes sense?
Sugar & Jenna - Yeah!
Tyson nods.
Jeff Probst - Want to know what you are playing for?
Jerri claps her hands of happiness to know what they were about to play for.
Jeff Probst - You are playing for...
Jeff took off the blanket that covered the reward, and under it, we could see a kitchen equipment. There was a skillet, there were spices... anything to do a good cooking.
Jeff Probst - Kitchen Equipment.
We could see people screaming of joy when seeing the reward.
Jeff Probst - Yapen, you have two extra members, who are you sitting out?!
Stephannie and Natalie raised their hands.
Jeff Probst - Stephannie and Natalie, take a spot on the bench, the others, I'll give you a few minutes to strategize and we'll get started!
Clouds moved at a fast pace and both tribes were ready to go. Erik and Nate were holding the ropes in front of the statue, on the head, while the rest of their tribe used the other ropes on the body of the statue. Scout and Gabriel were carrying the torches for their tribe.
Jeff Probst - Survivors Ready!?
We could see Nate ready and Erik being focused.
Jeff Probst - GO!
As soon as Jeff yelled to start, everyone pulled on their rope. Scout was following the green statue, slowly moving forward, while Gabriel was following the yellow statue. After a few seconds, we could clearly see that Yapen had a lead on Numfor because they were a few meters ahead.
Jeff Probst - Yapen are in the lead right now!
Jeff was running around to follow the tribes that were pulling their statue.
Erik was pulling on the head's rope. If we analysed their expressions, we could tell those statues were very heavy and hard to drag.
Suddenly, both tribe had to face a slope. Arriving first to that slope, Erik turned around and started pulling his way with the help of his tribe mates. Scout was watching them.
Jenna - Go in the back, Erik!
Both Erik and Jenna left their rope. Jenna took Erik's spot and that last one went behind the statue. He was pushing with his back to make it move. While they were having a hard time pushing it to the top of the slope, Numfor just arrived at the same place.
Jeff Probst - Numfor catching up now!
Instead of pulling on their rope, everyone from Numfor except Gabriel went behind their statue.
Jeff Probst - Numfor using another strategy!
They were all pushing on the statue to get it on the top of the slope. While Yapen were still in the middle of their slope, Numfor just finished climbing it and everyone returned to their respective rope.
Jeff Probst - Numfor now in the lead, using a perfect strategy!
Jenna looked at Numfor going and decided to go help Erik behind the statue, just like the rest of her tribe. Scout was still waiting on her tribe to get on top of the slope. As soon as Jenna left the rope, the whole statue slid down the whole slope.
Jeff Probst - Yapen back to the start with the slope! Having a hard time with it! Numfor still in the lead!
Sugar was staring at at the fire barrel not too far.
Sugar - Over there!
Jeff Probst - Numfor getting closer to the fire!
Jeff ran a few meters to catch up on Numfor but he made sure he could still look at Yapen on the slope.
Erik, Jenna, Charlie, Anthony and Todd were all pushing on the statue with their back to get it on the top of the slope. We could hear them painfully forcing against it. They finally got it on top.
Jenna - Woot!
Jeff Probst - Yapen back on the course! Numfor still have a huge lead, it is their challenge to lose right now!
We could see Numfor and their statue almost done crossing the line. Gabriel was next to the fire, waiting on the statue to completely cross the line.
Jeff Probst - The whole statue must cross the line in order to get the fire...
We could see Jerri pulling on her rope as hard as she could, and the statue finally crossed the line.
Jeff Probst - Numfor can get fire!
Gabriel immediately dipped his torch in the flames and he followed his tribe that immediately turned around trying to pull the statue back to the start.
Jeff Probst - Yapen still have no fire. They have a lot to catch up!
Suddenly, their statue fell into a hollow.
Jenna - Crap!
Jeff Probst - Yapen stuck in a hollow! They are in trouble big time!
Numfor were cheering their anticipated victory while dragging their statue back.
We could see Yapen trying to take it out of the hollow, but it seemed too difficult and it stayed stuck there.
Jenna - The head, the head!
Jenna rushed to the head and everybody else followed her. Some Yapen growled and were scrambling around the statue to find a way to get it out of there.
Jeff Probst - Yapen can't find a way to unstuck their statue! Numfor can feel their victory now!
We could see Gabriel running along the statue of his tribe that was sliding in direction of the fire barrel.
Jenna just kicked on the statue as Numfor were almost arrived to their finish line.
Jeff Probst - Numfor is almost arrived!
All the Yapen gave up with the hollow and turned into watching Numfor finish.
Tyson pulled a last time and the statue crossed the line. Gabriel immediately lighted the fire barrel. Jeff raised his hands in the air at the same time.
Jeff Probst - Numfor wins reward!
Numfor six were jumping on place of happiness as we could see Erik kick the statue and the other Yapen looking at Numfor jealously. When everyone were back to their mat, Jeff tattled the skillet in the stack of kitchen equipment.
Jeff Probst - Numfor, this is what you earned...
Just as Jeff said that, the rain came down again.
Jeff Probst - No... not the rain...
Everyone rolled their eyes staring the black clouds.
Jeff Probst - Kitchen equipment! You have everything it takes to cook great food! Numfor cheered again and Jeff looked at Yapen.
Jeff Probst - Yapen, unfortunately for you, I have nothing for you... grab stuff, head back to camp!
We could see Yapen members glaring at each other while Numfor were taking the kitchen equipment.
NUMFOR, DAY 7
The six Numfor were back to camp with their belongings. Tyson just entered the shelter to put his bag somewhere.
Confessional Tyson -
In the reward challenge, we came on strong, dominating the other tribe, it was awesome. We won a kitchen equipment, which is just great because it's something that will let us do less work around camp.

Sugar contemplated the skillet she had in her hands.
Confessional Sugar -
Yummy, we won kitchen equipment which makes the food taste so much better. We are doing great in the reward challenges, we have won all three and I have done my part.

Despite the rain, they absolutely wanted to test their reward with the little of a fire they had left. Brian was cooking one of their fishes and he just spread some spices on the fish.
A spider seemed to have difficulty moving around her web due to the droplets.
We could see all Numfor eating inside their shelter, tasting the spiced fish.
Nate - Hmmm!
Brian seemed to also love his cooked fish.
Confessional Nate -
Tribal wise, Brian is a workhorse, he's doing all the work here.

Brian just put another fish in their skillet.
YAPEN, DAY 7
Yapen was back to camp with their belongings. The rain was hard to handle, it rained too much in the last few hours. Jenna just dumped her bag inside the shelter.
Confessional Jenna -
We lost the reward challenge and that sucked, hopefully we win the next immunity challenge.
We lost the reward challenge and that sucked, hopefully we win the next immunity challenge.
In order to prevent the fire from vanishing during the night due to the rain, Charlie came back with the water well's top and added it above the fire. They were now ready to rest in the shelter, waiting on the rain to be over.
YAPEN, DAY 8
The rain was over in the morning and Charlie had a surprise when he looked at their campfire... it was extinguished despite the water well top.
There were a few ashes, a few leaves, a few branches and a few rocks in the pit, but no fire to burn it. We could see Stephannie and Charlie gasping already.
Natalie rolled her eyes when she saw the extinguished fire.
Charlie - I just want to say, I already did it once and I won't do it again, at least yet. Someone else should do this... like Anthony who has glasses and it's easier that way.
We could see Anthony replacing his glasses in his face.
Anthony - Well, we could just do like you did last time, make friction with two wooden sticks.
Charlie - Anthony, you never do anything either way so whatever.
Suddenly, the ambiance turned dramatic.
Charlie - I'm honestly not feeling like building a fire.
Charlie raised his finger to imitate a "no, no" while fixing Anthony.
Stephannie glared at Charlie.
Stephannie - Guys, no need to fight over the fire. I know I have been lazy about the fire too.
Anthony - I didn't fight, and I have been helping the whole time and if a couple of us are working together we can get a fire going quicker than waiting hours and hours and then if something happens then we waited for nothing.
Confessional Anthony -
Charlie is an ass. Charlie has the nerve to say I don't do ANYTHING. I have done well in basically every challenge. It is not the case for him. OH my god like serious?
Charlie is an ass. Charlie has the nerve to say I don't do ANYTHING. I have done well in basically every challenge. It is not the case for him. OH my god like serious?
Anthony starts imitating Charlie with his hands and his voice in his confessional.
Confessional Anthony -
Isn't Erik hot like oh my god!?
Isn't Erik hot like oh my god!?
Anthony stopped hysterically yelling and imitating Charlie.
Confessional Anthony -
Stop getting off to a freaking dude you are never ever going to be with. He is straight! And we are ANNOYED!
Stop getting off to a freaking dude you are never ever going to be with. He is straight! And we are ANNOYED!
During this time, we could see Charlie looking at Erik.
Confessional Anthony -
If this is an act, then CALM it DOWN NOWWW! Cause you are annoying the crap right out of EVERYONE and if things go MY WAY, THEN you will be the next one to pack your bags and GO AWAYY. GET OUT, GOOD BYE, GO AWAY. I AM THE LEADER and you are WORTHLESS to me in this game.

Charlie - Do the fire with your glasses!
Charlie points at his glasses.
Anthony - No, we'll do it with wooden sticks again!
Confessional Anthony -
There are other FREAKING WAYS to make fire. GO TRY IT. YOU DON'T NEED MY _______ GLASSES. There are quicker ways!
There are other FREAKING WAYS to make fire. GO TRY IT. YOU DON'T NEED MY _______ GLASSES. There are quicker ways!
Charlie and Anthony glared at each other and walked away to two different paths. During that time, Scout was looking at Anthony going away.
Confessional Scout -
Drama happened at our camp concerning work load. Charlie got frustrated with Anthony. For me it's meaning some other things. I think Charlie is very much aware that Anthony is targeting him. I think I'll plan to play both side as long as I could!

Natalie was trying to catch up on Anthony who was getting away.
Natalie - You wanna work on fire together?
Anthony nods.
Natalie - Which way do we do it?
Anthony - Which ones quicker, or whatever one you want to do.
Natalie - I can do the glasses one if you wanna do it.
Anthony - So I can give you my glasses so you can do it.
Natalie - Okay.
Anthony - Pfft, I was getting blasted by Charlie...
Natalie - Can you give me your glasses?
Anthony hands her his glasses.
Anthony - And I wasn't fighting with Charlie, he said I don't do anything when I was just suggesting a quicker way to get fire. But whatever.
Natalie - We are all still adjusting.
Natalie grabbed Anthony's glasses and left him alone without continuing the conversation with him.
NUMFOR, DAY 8
Sugar, Nate and Gabriel were alone around the campfire, cooking the fish they caught.
Almost next to them, Brian and Jerri were talking, hidden by some trees. They were not talking too loud.
Brian - For your info, do you think we should try to find a fourth guy to our alliance soon?
Jerri - Yeah definitely. Like it would give us majority.
Brian - Gabe should be able to join us. Are you trying to find someone as well?
Jerri - I am thinking maybe Nate, because we've spoken a little, but I've spoken with Gabe as well.
Both of them are thinking with their finger on their lips. Then Jerri got an idea.
Jerri - So I am thinking maybe either Nate or Gabe, what do you think?
Brian - Absolutely agree.. but for me the core group still lies between me you and Tyson.
Jerri - Absolutely, we are definitely the core group in my opinion and whoever joins us would be apart of it, but us three are the core ones for me.
We could see Jerri observing Brian.
Confessional Jerri -
My opinion on Brian is that he is going to be a good player, not only because he is Brian, but because he seems sharp.
My opinion on Brian is that he is going to be a good player, not only because he is Brian, but because he seems sharp.
Jerri left Brian alone and tracked down Tyson. When she got him, they stopped walking and talked.
Jerri - We need to talk for a second.
Tyson wondered.
Jerri - Today, Brian talked with me about putting another person into our alliance. He was like yada, yada, you know and suggested some people. I at least suggested maybe Nate, as he is in our group so at least have him. What do you think?
Tyson - I think if he grabs Gabe, then we control everyone.
Jerri - And eventually, everyone would be backstabbed.
Tyson - Ya pretty much.
Jerri - Mhm, alright.
Jerri - Stay here, I'll come back.
Jerri left Tyson alone and came back to Brian.
Jerri - Hey, I think we could add Gabriel to the alliance?
Brian - Oh, then I should ask him?
Jerri - Sure. Come over there with me and Tyson when you're done.
Jerri left Brian alone to rejoin Tyson and Brian tracked down Gabriel. Once he caught him, they talked.
Brian - Hey Gabe.
Gabriel - Hey Brian.
Brian - I was wondering if you wanted an alliance between me, you, Tyson and Jerri.
Gabriel - Hmm, I'm not sure?
Brian - That way we can protect you.
Gabriel - Yeah, I see.
Gabriel scratched his head while Brian was looking at him.
Brian - So are you on board?
Gabriel - Hey, I'll go get water and I'll come back later okay?
Brian - Um, alright… But are you on board?
Gabriel - Mhm, yeah.
Gabriel walked away and Brian rejoined Jerri and Tyson like he was asked.
Brian - I think we can kind of count Gabe into our group for the moment.
Tyson - Ok that sounds good.
Jerri - I know you all want to get on me… but yep, agreed. With Gabe in our group we've got majority for a few rounds.
Brian - He did not give me a definite answer so I am not one hundred percent sure he is on board… thus if we really have to vote, we need another person just in case.
There was a silent moment.
Brian - Sugar or Nate? I can't confirm if Gabe is on… cause he did not give me a definite answer and he keeps going off on conversations without warning.
Tyson - We'll talk to him later.
Brian - I hope we don't end up going off one by one though… it sucks if it really happens… Only winning reward and not a single immunity.
The others laugh.
Brian - You guys want to take the opportunity to ask Sugar to join us?
Tyson - I'm not sure about her yet. Her and Nate seem really close.
Brian - So if that is the case, we can only count on Gabe?
Jerri - Well, if we ask Sugar, we would have Nate as well. Just depends what we want to do in my opinion.
Tyson nods.
Confessional Tyson -
At this point in the game, losing doesn't worry me because I know that if we lost, I would still be fine. I have cemented so many bonds with people, that there is no way I would be voted out, but at the same time, it's not like I'm going and throw challenges. At this point, I trust these six people, well five for sure Gabe only to a degree, and I want us to make it to the merge because I feel I can go the distance with them. Losing is not an option.

On the beach, Sugar and Nate were together. Sugar just turned around to tan her back. They started to cuddle themselves a little bit. Nate seemed comfortable.
Confessional Nate -
Me and Sugar gonna take it nice and slow, cause well, we have mutual respect for each other.

Tyson then arrived to them. Nate turned around and rolled his eyes.
Confessional Nate -
Me and Sugar were in our own little private sector cuddling and spooning. Tyson comes out a bit too strong, I mean seriously, you're dirty, you smell, you haven't brushed your teeth and you're doing that?

Tyson - We got tree-mail guys.
Nate - Oh!
Both Nate and Sugar followed him to join the rest of the tribe at camp.
Jerri - "For the next immunity challenge, only three people from each tribe will participate, make a smart selection, there will be three different challenges, win two out of three and avoid tribal council."
Nate - Nice.
Sugar shook her head, not too happy.
Confessional Sugar -
We lost the two first immunity challenges. The first one, I did fine in, the second I did so bad in. Big time. Now for the next immunity challenge, only three people can participate and I will not be one of them. GREAT. If we lose I am worried they will vote me out.

CHALLENGE FIELD
We could see the challenge settlement. It was located in the highlands, in a field surrounded by jungle. There were two constructions built: One was a mud pit with two opened and empty crates next to it, and the other one was a balance beam, with pillows: the same settlement from the previous immunity challenge. Nearby, Jeff was waiting on the tribes to come.
Jeff Probst - Come on in guys!
Far away, both tribes were heading in one straight line to their mat. We could see Stephannie holding the immunity idol in her hands and Nate holding the yellow flag. The six Numfor arrived first and dropped their bags in front of their mat, waiting on the opposite tribe to arrive. They arrived and dropped their things too. Jeff looked at Stephannie.
Jeff Probst - First thing first... Yapen, give me back immunity!
Jeff reached Stephannie who handed him the immunity idol. Jeff put it back on its original spot.
Jeff Probst - Immunity... is back up for grabs!
Jeff touched the immunity idol and looked at both tribes.
Jeff Probst - For today's challenge, only three people from each tribe will participate. Choose your competitors wisely! You will need three people for three roles: A warrior, a gatherer and finally, a hunter. Three roles necessary to have a functional tribe.
Jeff Probst - Each role will take on somebody from the other tribe with the same role. So a warrior will take on the warrior of the other tribe in a duel that consists of a task.
Gabriel nods.
Jeff Probst - If someone wins their duel against the other tribe, they score. First tribe to two wins immunity. If a tribe wins the first two rounds, the hunter will be of no use. Instructions for each role will be given once you get to play... I will give you a few minutes to decide who will play what role and we'll get started!
Both tribes were strategizing and once they got ready, Jeff was too.
Jeff Probst - Numfor, who did you choose to be your warrior?
Tyson stepped out of his mat.
Jeff Probst - Tyson for Numfor... and who from Yapen is the warrior?
Erik points at himself.
Jeff Probst - So Erik taking on Tyson!
Jeff shows the balance beam.
Jeff Probst - Take a spot on a platform and get a pillow.
Both Tyson and Erik stepped on their platforms and Tyson just picked a pillow.
Jeff Probst - Rules are the same than in the last immunity challenge. The person who wins this scores for their tribe. Survivors Ready!?
Both Erik and Tyson stared at each other.
Jeff Probst - GO!
Both Erik and Tyson dashed on each other but none of them fell off. Tyson lost a little bit of balance, but he recovered pretty quickly. Erik pushed on Tyson's face and that last one lost a foot on the balance beam. Erik then used the opportunity to push him on his belly and he fell off.
Jeff Probst - Yapen scores!
Anthony cheers and Tyson does not look happy. When they both got back to their mat, Jeff looked at Numfor.
Jeff Probst - Yapen, one, Numfor, zip...! Who is your gatherer?
Gabriel stepped out of the mat.
Jeff Probst - Yapen, who is yours?
Jenna steps out of her mat.
Jeff Probst - Gabriel will be taking on Jenna for the gatherer role. If Jenna wins this, Yapen wins immunity. Instructions are simple... On my go, you will jump into the mud...
We could see someone jump in the mud pit.
Jeff Probst - You will find as many potatoes as possible in the mud.
We could see someone retrieving a potatoe from the mud.
Jeff Probst - You will have two minutes to get as many potatoes as you can, you cannot hold more than one in your hands at the same time... every time you get one, you must deposit it in your crate.
We could see someone deposit their potatoe in their crate.
Jeff Probst - In the end, the person with the most potatoes score for their tribe... Makes sense?
Gabriel - Yah
Jenna - Yeah
Jeff Probst - Alright, take a spot and we'll get started!
Both Gabriel and Jenna were ready to get in the mud.
Jeff Probst - Survivors Ready!?
Jenna stared at the mud pit just like Gabriel.
Jeff Probst - GO!
Gabriel jumped into the mud pit first and moved forward to put his hand into the mud. Jenna jumped in the mud right after him. Gabriel was moving his hands into the mud at the search of a potatoe.
Jeff Probst - You have two minutes to get as many as you can!
Jenna just picked a potatoe and moved out of the mud pit. Her hair was completely nasty, just like the rest of her body as she tossed the potatoe in her crate. Right after she returned to the mud pit, Gabriel tossed his potatoe in the crate.
Jeff Probst - Jenna and Gabriel have one potatoe each!
Jenna just tossed another one in her crate and Gabriel put his head into the mud looking for a potatoe. The time passed and we could see the rest of their tribe looking at them, hoping they will win it for their tribe.
Elapsed Time - 1 Minute and 50 Seconds.
Both Jenna and Gabriel seemed to have enough potatoes in their crates as they were still looking for them inside the mud pit. Gabriel was looking on the borders of the pit while Jenna was searching in the center of the pit. Gabriel just got a potatoe and moved out of the mud pit.
Jeff Probst - 5!
Jenna was still looking and Gabriel was heading to his crate.
Jeff Probst - 4!
Gabriel got ready to toss his potatoe.
Jeff Probst - 3!
Gabriel tossed his potatoe.
Jeff Probst - 2!
The potatoe fell in his crate.
Jeff Probst - 1...
Jenna turned around and looked at Jeff.
Jeff Probst - Done!
After Jeff announced that the round was over, both tribe were back to their mat ready to hear the results. Jeff had already counted the amount.
Jeff Probst - Let’s see which tribe has the most potatoes... If Jenna got more than Gabriel, the challenge will be over and Yapen will win immunity... Jenna, you got...
Jeff shows the inside of her crate to everyone.
Jeff Probst – Sixteen potatoes.
Jenna and Scout cheer.
Jeff Probst – Now... for Numfor...
Jeff took Gabriel’s crate and turned it around to show the amount of potatoes to everyone.
Jeff Probst – Seems close... Gabriel got...
Jeff Probst - Twenty-one carrots! Numfor scores!
Jeff Probst – It is now one to one and this is our last round... Who is your hunter, Yapen?
Anthony stepped out of the mat for Yapen.
Jeff Probst – So Anthony will be the hunter for Yapen, Numfor, who is yours?
Jerri stepped out of the mat.
Jeff Probst – Jerri will be taking on Anthony for the last round of this challenge.
Jeff Probst – For this part of the challenge, it is fairly easy. On my go, you will run in the jungle...
Jeff points a path that leads to the jungle.
Jeff Probst – Hidden in the jungle, there is a wooden mask.
We could see a wooden mask hidden in tall grass, near a tree.
Jeff Probst – First person to grab it and bring it back to their mat, wins immunity for their tribe. Makes sense?
Jerri – Yeah!
Anthony nods.
Jeff Probst – So for immunity... Survivors Ready??
Both Anthony and Jerri were ready to run to the jungle.
Jeff Probst – GO!
Both Jerri and Anthony were running towards the jungle. Jerri stayed on the path, while Anthony was running out of it. Using a shortcut, he entered the jungle first. He immediately looked around him to find the mask.
He then started looking around trees, in case it was hidden behind. After he examined the first tree, Jerri just arrived in the jungle and started looking for the mask too.
Anthony then bowed down and started looking in the tall grass, next to a tree. Jerri was looking in the leaves of trees. Seeing no masks were there, she started looking at the grass like Anthony.
Suddenly, we could see the mask next to Anthony’s foot. His hands were close to it, and he was looking. Instead of touching the mask, he stood up and changed spot. Jerri then changed side of the path for the side where Anthony was searching. She went anywhere Anthony didn’t look for.
Tired of looking for the mask, Anthony decided to look again where he looked at first. While walking, his foot seemed to have kicked something. Jerri heard him kicking something and turned around. While Jerri was running to Anthony, that last one bowed down and picked the mask. He ran to his mat with it.
Jeff Probst – Yapen wins Immunity!
Jerri was back, running with nothing.
Jerri – Good Job!
The Yapen were cheering while Numfor did not look that happy. Anthony and Jerri rejoined their tribes and Jeff had the immunity idol.
Jeff Probst – Yapen, this is what you earned... immunity, again! Anthony, come take it!
Anthony received the immunity idol from Jeff. Gabriel looked at him, so did Nate, and Jeff looked at them.
Jeff Probst – Numfor, I have nothing for you except a date with me at tribal council, for the third time in a row…
Sugar looked sad.
Jeff Probst – Grab stuff and head back to camp, see ya tomorrow night at tribal!
Tyson grabbed his bag and put it around his shoulder, just like Sugar. Natalie and Charlie were still cheering.
YAPEN, DAY 8
The tribe was coming back from the challenge field and we could see Jenna being in front of everyone.
Confessional Jenna -
We won immunity and don't have to go to tribal. Yay!
We won immunity and don't have to go to tribal. Yay!
When most of the tribe were back to camp and were putting their bags inside the shelter, Stephannie looked at Anthony.
Stephannie - Wow, Congrats Anthony, good job on the immunity last night.
Anthony smiled and stared at Charlie.
Confessional Anthony -
I won immunity for this tribe. So, Charlie, don't say I do nothing in this game. I won the damn immunity challenge by myself. I am a better player so GO WIPE YOUR ASS WITH SANDPAPER. Anyways, I won the immunity for my tribe, YAY ME!

Nathalie still had Anthony's glasses with her and she headed to where the old fire was.
Natalie - I'm starting the fire!
Natalie arrived to the fire and a few other Yapen were sitting there to look at her, including Charlie. She put the glasses above the barks and she waited a moment. We had a view on the sun to give an effect to the time passing.
Natalie could see some steam coming off the barks. She let glasses to where it was and asked Charlie for some help.
Charlie - I'll help.
Charlie started blowing a little bit on the little fire and when it was big enough, Natalie gave the glasses back to Anthony and took charge of the fire. Yapen cheered when they saw the completed fire. Jenna smiled.
We had a close view on the fire to make a transition between Yapen and Numfor's tribal flag.
NUMFOR, DAY 8
The six remaining Numfor were coming back to camp and Brian seemed pissed as he brutally threw his bag somewhere around.
Confessional Brian -
Well, we lost again. Seriously, I feel that we are getting outnumbered! Only winning reward challenges and not immunity! I really don't want to be outnumbered all the way! That sucks!
Well, we lost again. Seriously, I feel that we are getting outnumbered! Only winning reward challenges and not immunity! I really don't want to be outnumbered all the way! That sucks!
Numfor was sitting around their fire, with their fist under their chin, doing some thinking. Jerri broke the ice for talking.
Jerri - Eh, sorry guys…
Tyson - It's okay Jerri.
Gabriel - We did our best.
Tyson nodded at what Gabriel said.
Confessional Tyson -
This round is trickier than the others because we all like each other and openly targeting someone won't work. I have to play with my puppets until one of them give me information that could easily take them out.

Gabriel just added a stick to the fire to feed it.
Confessional Gabriel -
I like everyone in the tribe and I honestly think that everyone is putting effort into the game. I don't want to come up with any name because you don't know, it might blow up in your face and you might be the one to be voted out. And I don't want that to happen. I would say I am safe. At the challenge, I was the only one who marked a point for our tribe and I think that I am quite good at challenges overall and I do my thing at camp. They don't have any reason to vote for me. If I am voted out, it's because I'm unlucky.

When Nate stood up to go do some tribe work, Gabriel followed him. Nate looked at him coming.
Nate - Sucks we go to tribal council again.
Gabriel - Yeah because to be honest I have no idea what to do.
Nate - Me neither man.
Gabriel - The first to tribal council, it was easy, we were just voting out the weak links, but now, we don't have any weak link.
Nate - Yeah, god this is gonna suck.
Gabriel - Who do you think should stay? Who would you not vote for?
Nate - Dunno right now man, I mean, we don't got any weak links like you said, but at this point, anyone can be fair game. So I really don't think there isn't a person I would not vote for.
Gabriel - Yeah me too. Do you have any idea who could be in an alliance with who? Because right now I really am clueless.
Nate - Me too man, I haven't been asked by anyone of any alliance. I just fool around.
Gabriel - Do you really think there are alliances?
Nate - Honestly, sometimes people take things too seriously. That's why I just fool around, and joke, haha, more than strategy talk too, which does me in a few times, but oh well.
Gabriel kept walking with him without talking.
Confessional Gabriel -
I think what Nate is trying to tell me is that he shouldn't be perceived as a threat, and I don't think he is. Well, at least, not at the moment, not for me. But no one really helped me decide how I will base my vote on.

The sun settled down to let place to a new day.
NUMFOR, DAY 9
Most of the tribe was sitting in the shelter, doing some thinking before tribal council. Only Nate and Sugar were on the beach, admiring the horizon. Gabriel was looking at them from the camp and then he turned around, doing a sign to Tyson he wanted to talk. They both got away leaving Brian and Jerri inside the shelter.
Gabriel - Any idea who to vote for at tribal council?
Tyson - Not sure yet, and you?
Gabriel - Don't know either.
Tyson raised his left eyebrow.
Gabriel - I'm thinking we should target Nate and Sugar. They are pretty close.
Tyson - Yah, they totally should go.
Tyson smiled.
Confessional Tyson -
Strategically, it benefits me to take Gabriel out because I have no real alliance with him, unlike the ones I have with the rest of the tribe, so he is my target. I talked to him for about half an hour, half an hour of my life that I will never get back, and nothing good came out until he finally said who he thought we should target, Nate and Sugar. Sweet, done, got what I wanted. So, I could then go to Nate and Sugar and tell them he said it. This would build their trust with me, and also give me even more power over them. So I will tell them everything.

Tyson - Okay I'll talk to you later.
Gabriel - Okay.
Gabriel left Tyson alone and he immediately rushed to Nate and Sugar who were on the beach. Jerri and Brian could see the action but could not hear a word of what they were saying.
Nate - What's up?
Tyson - Gabriel wants to target you two because you are tight.
Nate - Woah, is that serious?
Tyson - Yeah, he just told me! I was like Okay yeah we should totally target them. So I'm voting for him tonight.
Nate - I will as well.
Nate seemed shocked but he was more smiling than anything.
Confessional Nate -
Stupid Gabriel wanted me out cause apparently my relationship with Sugar is a little too good for his liking. I mean seriously, are you high? Well bud, hate to break it to ya, but I'm just too damn charming for the ladies, you were just under my shadow. Tyson told me he wanted me or Sugar gone cause of the things we do, um reality check you douche, it is called flirting, sit down and take some notes and maybe your scrawny ass will get some action once in your life.

Meanwhile, we could see Gabriel wandering around.
Before tribal council starts, we could see Jerri and Brian finishing a conversation and grabbing their bags next to them. Then we could see Tyson get his torch.
TRIBAL COUNCIL
All of a sudden, the sun settled down so that we could see the bright stars in the sky. We had a view from inside of the village to the outside: the Numfor tribe was coming in one straight line with each a lighted torch in their hands. Tyson was leading in front, followed by Sugar right behind him. Once we could see Jerri and Nate entering the tribal council area, Sugar was putting her torch on a hold. Brian was the last person to sit down on the bench. Jeff Probst could now begin the tribal council.
Jeff Probst - Welcome to tribal council, Numfor, for… the third time in a row! Your tribe will be down to five after this… Nate, your tribe keeps losing over and over all the challenges, what is your thought on this?
Nate sighed due to deception and replied.
Nate - Well Jeff, my take on it is, we are more than capable of winning challenges, but we come up just short during the immunity challenge, it is not like we're losing all the challenges.
Nate took a break and continued talking.
Nate - We can win, we just need to start winning the right challenges.
Jerri looks at him and nods.
Jeff Probst - Gabriel, you are the only one in your tribe to have scored something, do you think you are the strongest member of this tribe?
Gabriel - I don't think I am the strongest member of the tribe and I don't have enough information to say that one person is stronger than another one. We are all equal and we are all good tribe members.
Jeff Probst - Does it makes your vote harder or is it still easy like the previous one?
Gabriel - This is a very hard vote…
Sugar looked at him, with a kind of sorry expression.
Jeff Probst - Sugar, why should your tribe keep you around over the others?
Sugar - Well, Jeff, I believe I add just as much to this tribe as anyone else. That is why they should keep me around. I pull my weight.
Jeff Probst - After this tribal council, Numfor will be down to five members, is there any majorities in the tribe yet?
Sugar - I don't believe so.
Gabriel looks at Sugar.
Jeff Probst - Tyson, did you figure what makes your tribe failing at every single immunity challenge?
Tyson - No I haven't. I mean we're all so kick ass, and we win rewards, we just have to win Immunity.
Jeff Probst - With all these rewards, you guys seem to work pretty well on camp life, is it even a concern anymore?
Tyson - Yes, because as we get down in numbers, we get lazy and don't want to do it, but we have to since there's not many others that will if we don't.
Jeff Probst - Nate, after all this chit chat, what will you base your vote on?
Nate - Oh, my gut that has been eating pretty well for survivor standards.
Jeff Probst - Just a reminder, if we have a tie, we will go down to a re-vote and if the tie persists, we go down to a purple rock draw. Everyone including those who are tied will participate to this. Sugar, would you be shocked if tonight ended in a tie?
Sugar - Nothing about this game shocks me.
Sugar smiled and winked at Jeff.
Jeff Probst - Alright we'll find out if Numfor curse at losing immunity will stop after this vote, it is... time to vote...
Gabriel, you're up!
Gabriel - Oh god..
Gabriel stood up and walked to the voting podium. Without seeing his vote, we could see him bending his vote and deposit it into the voting urn. Brian went to vote followed by Sugar. She wrote "Gabriel" and turned the paper to show it to the camera as she whispered.
Sugar - My alliance decided to go with him…
She bends her vote and put it in the urn.
Jerri and Nate went to vote after her and Tyson ended the voting process. Jeff was ready to go tally the votes.
Jeff Probst - I'll tally the votes…
We could see Gabriel worried and shaking his head then we could see Nate, not very worried. Jeff came back with the urn and deposits it on the surface with a hand on the cap.
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 Gabriel.
Gabriel didn't look happy ; he was still worried.
2nd Vote...
2 Gabriel.
Gabriel became more worried and looked at the rest of his tribe who did not look back at him. He bowed down.
3rd Vote...
2 Gabriel, 1 Nate.
Nate didn't look worried on the vote as Gabriel felt like he was about to go home.
4th Vote...
2 Gabriel, 2 Nate.
Suddenly, Nate's expression changed. He started being worried and looked at the rest of his tribe, only Sugar looked back at him wondering as well. Gabriel, surprised, looked up again and continued focusing on Jeff.
5th Vote...
3 Gabriel, 2 Nate.
6th Vote...
And the third person voted out of Survivor: Indonesia…
4 Gabriel, 2 Nate.
Gabriel, not surprised, stood up and took his torch to give it to Jeff after that. He swang his torch snuffer.
Jeff Probst - Gabriel, tribe has spoken!
Jeff Probst snuffed the torch of Gabriel who looked at his tribe before walking out of tribal council.
Gabriel - Bye guys, good luck!
Gabriel then walked away in a different path while his tribe did some good bye with their hands to him. Jeff looked at the tribe.
Jeff Probst - Your tribe keep getting rid of their outsiders, but now, who is the outsider of you five? Hopefully, I will not meet you here again.. Grab torches, head back to camp!
The tribe all stood up together as we could see Jerri taking her torch with her while the rest of the tribe got out of tribal council.
CLOSING
Voiceover - Next time on… Survivor!
Voiceover - At Numfor Camp, Nate is pissed about the extra vote he got against himself.
Nate - Pissed, I'm sure it comes from Brian.
Sugar - Calm down.
Voiceover - While at Yapen camp, nobody can stand each other anymore!
Anthony (At camp) - Oh my god, Charlie is freaking annoying.
Confessional Charlie - When I woke up, Jenna Lamewis had already done my chore.
Todd (At camp) - Our tribe is dull.
Stephannie (At camp) - Don't cry.
FINAL WORDS
We could see Gabriel telling his final words.
Final Words Gabriel -
I am completely shocked, but I guess there is a part of me that knew it could happen. But I don't understand why they voted me out. First of all, maybe I talked too much. Suggesting alliances and names, it was a mistake. I was just suggesting things that could be going on. I was not trying to vote anyone out. I was just trying to figure out how to vote. So I don't think I could have done something differently. I don't think it was the right decision for Numfor to get rid of me, because I was very good at challenges, and they knew about it. Very bad decision in my opinion.

While Gabriel was telling his final words, we could see whom everyone voted for.
Gabriel voted for Nate.
Tyson voted for Gabriel.
Sugar voted for Gabriel.
Nate voted for Gabriel.
Brian voted for Gabriel.
Jerri voted for Nate.
