Survivor: Myanmar

Shin Maw • Night 6

It was a rather peaceful night back at Shin Maw's camp, but as the nine remaining contestants returned to camp, there were a lot of mixed emotions to go around for everybody. "Well, I definitely did not expect that," Alex exclaimed, laughing.

"Whoever did it, good job, honestly," Kalyani said. "I had no idea that was gonna happen."

Lauren, choosing not to comment, laid her head down on the shelter, pulling her buff over her face to try and get some sleep without notice from the rest of the tribe.

Lauren (Shin Maw Tribe): Well, when I came out here to play this game, I definitely did not expect that I would have pulled off something like THAT on Day 6, that's for sure. I'm kind of shocked. But I'm also tired, and I want sleep.

"Can someone get a fire going?" Emmanuel asked. "I'm cold."

"You're cold?" John exclaimed. "It's so hot right now, are you crazy?"

"You're hot?" Emmanuel exclaimed back at him. "How are you HOT—"

Brianna pulled Victoria away from the shelter, so that they were both just out of earshot of the tribe. "Can you explain yourself?" Brianna asked. "Please?"

"What?" Victoria said. "What are you talking about?"

"You flipped on us," Brianna said. "I'm not mad," she lied, "but I want to know why."

Victoria (Shin Maw Tribe): We get back at camp after tribal, and literally not even two seconds later, Brianna takes me like twenty feet away from the rest of the tribe, and starts getting mad at ME for flipping. I was trying to just play dumb and deny it for a little while...

Brianna (Shin Maw Tribe): ...and I wasn't buying it for two seconds. Victoria knows she flipped, she literally admitted to it at tribal council, and now she's trying to play stupid. It's so frustrating, because I literally know she's lying and I don't want to start an argument with her... but she's making it very hard!

"I didn't flip on Shiloh," Victoria fabricated. "I literally didn't."

"You admitted to it at tribal council," Brianna exclaimed. "Quit lying, and tell me why you did it, that's all I want."

"I don't know what you want me to say to you, Brianna," Victoria snapped. 

"Oh my god— you are so frustrating!" Brianna uttered. "Can you just please tell me why you flipped?"

"Can we do this tomorrow?" Victoria asked.

"Can you tell me now?" Brianna asked.

Victoria (Shin Maw Tribe/continued): And holy shit, Brianna is one persistent girl. She just would not shut up until I literally had to cave in and just tell her! I don't owe her an explanation, but she made me give her one anyways.

"Fine," Victoria spat. "It was because I wasn't sure about how I felt with Shiloh jumping ship."

"But she was helping us?" Brianna retorted. "That makes no sense—"

"Right, but if Shiloh's gonna play wishy-washy like that, then I don't want to be associated with that," Victoria explained. "That's why I flipped. Are you happy now?"

"It just doesn't make sense. She was helping us—"

"And I made a move for myself," Victoria interrupted Brianna. "Am I supposed to just destroy my game for you? Would that just make you so happy—"

"You don't flip on an ally you created less than a week ago!" Brianna exclaimed. 

"You do if you need to in order to save yourself," Victoria snapped, venomously emphasizing every syllable of the last two words. "You would too, admit it!"

"I am playing an honest game with the people who are working with me," Brianna said. "I was loyal to you, I was genuine to you—"

"And it's not like we'll never work together again!" Victoria interrupted. "I just picked the side I wanted for this vote, and it just... wasn't your side."

"Do you think I can still trust you after you flipped on me like it was nothing?" Brianna asked. 

"I would trust you if you did," Victoria exclaimed. "It was Shiloh who went home, not you."

"Like hell you would trust me if I flipped on you three minutes into the game," Brianna snapped. "Can you quit lying?"

Back at the fire, Jonah, Emmanuel, and Alex were watching curiously as Brianna and Victoria disputed. "What's going on over there?" Jonah asked.

"I don't know, but they look mad," Alex exclaimed.

"Ooh, the girls are fighting," Emmanuel chimed in.

"A fight?" Liam interjected, sitting up on the shelter. "Nobody's hurting each other, right?"

"Brianna's mad," Jonah said.

Emmanuel (Shin Maw Tribe): We're trying to, y'know, relax around the fire before falling asleep for the night, and then we see Brianna and Victoria in some sort of stupid fight like fifteen feet away from us. We can't hear a word they're saying, but they're making all sorts of funny facial expressions and it's kind of making me laugh. (laughter)

"They're just arguing," Alex said. "We can't even hear them."

"It's because Victoria flipped," Liam chimed in. "At least that's what I think."

Brianna was just looking Victoria in the eyes now. "What do you want me to do?" Victoria asked. "Bring her back?"

"You should have voted with us," Brianna exclaimed, walking back to the shelter.

"It would have been a revote—"

"I don't want to hear it," Brianna said, slowly, emphasizing every single syllable. She sat down with the others around the fire, leaving a confused and irritated Victoria by herself.

Brianna (Shin Maw Tribe): I thought I could trust Victoria, I really did. Victoria was supposed to stay with us, and maybe the vote could have at least tied up. But now she's on their side. She took the first opportunity she could to flip on us, and now we're screwed because she wanted to be on the "right side of things" when we could have just talked it out with Lauren and Jonah or something.

"What happened?" Jonah asked, as Brianna sat down next to him.

"Victoria said she was loyal to my alliance tonight, and then she just flipped out of nowhere and sent Shiloh home," Brianna said quietly. "And I know that you voted Shiloh too, but I just need someone to understand how I'm feeling."

"Oh, for sure," Jonah agreed. 

"I think we should work together," Brianna said. "You're actually trustworthy."

"Oh?" Jonah asked. "I'd like to work with you too..."

"Me and you could go a long ways together," Brianna stated.

"Definitely," Jonah agreed.

Jonah (Shin Maw Tribe): I'm not sure how much I trust Brianna right now, given that we voted differently at tribal tonight and we haven't really spoken that much before today, but when she told me she wanted to work with me... what was I supposed to do? Deny her? I'm taking any opportunity I can get in this game.
