*In the luxury first class*
Levi: We should win more ofen, haha! This place is great! They really stepped up their game this season in terms of treating the winners right.
Brent: Well, they tried to last season, but Kim kind of ruined that ... Glad she's gone, heh.
Ray: Winning is always the main priority, no? I think we should take that seriously. I'd like to propose that we don't throw challenges.
Levi: Really? You don't think you'd wanna throw a challenge sometime later down the line to get out a threat on our team?
Ray: It just feels as if it's more of a risk with little reward. We can worry about our team's threats come merge. And if we happen to lose, then we vote them out.
Brent: Okay, I'm honestly fine with that. Throwing challenges seems like more effort than winning a challenge. I'd rather come back here, heh.
Levi: Alright, if you guys really don't wanna, that's cool! All I'm saying is, throwing worked before! It got you out in season 1 Ray, haha!
Ray: Yes, yes it hasn't quite escaped my mind yet.
(C) Brent: I'm not really sure how the others feel about Rosalía, so it's best to try and win every challenge so that everyone can see in her what I see.
(C) Ray: Ah, yes Levi, how could I forget that your alliance blindsided me on the first island? It's clear he can think strategically, just not often. But I'm no Jesse when it comes to throwing challenges, so I'd prefer we try to win. In the event we lose, I already have a list of targets.
Levi: So Brent, I've heard you and Rosalía are getting closer?
Brent: Yeah I guess you could say that, heh.
Levi: That's great dude, hope things go well! Isn't it crazy how much the dynamics have changed since Island? So many of us have caught feelings for someone!
Ray: It's truly flabbergasting. It really doesn't compute in my head, but that's just me. Perhaps it's the mere exposure effect, but what do I know.
Brent: It's hard to ignore how much everyone has changed. I mean, even just looking at Milo is inspiring. We've gone through a lot of ups and downs as a group.
Ray: Ah yes, Milo truly has developed into quite the man. I think he's someone to watch.
Levi: Really? Little turtleneck man? He may be trying more but I don't think he imposes as any sort of threat right now, haha.
Ray: Don't you think his new outlook would make him more motivated to try?
Brent: I see where you're coming from. Let's just see how he does today.
Ray: Oh I'm in no rush to eliminate anyone on our team. We seem to be doing just fine. Just food for thought.
(C) Levi: I'm feeling pretty good about where I stand with my alliance and on my team. But I've gotta remember to play for me this time around.

*In economy class*
Lizzie: Well that was a good chapter! Wow, I really got lost in that one. I should go check and see what everyone else is up to!
*Lizzie enters the dining area and sees her team (besides Lilith and Corrie) sitting together without her*
Lizzie: Oh! Practically everyone is out here eating breakfast together ... Wish they would have told me!
(C) Lizzie: It's been a while since I've competed with everyone ... So naturally I haven't been in touch with a lot of them! Everyone else has already seemed to find their clique, but it looks as if I've been outcasted ...
Lizzie: Should I join them? Oh but I don't want to bother them and intrude ... But they're my teammates! *deep breath* Remember Lizzie, stick up for yourself.
Chefette: Fml, you talk to yourself too?
Lizzie: Gah! Chefette you scared me ... No, I don't usually ...
Chefette: Okay, sure, fml. Lemme tell ya, it gets lonely back here. Especially without Michelle anymore, fml.
Lizzie: Aww, I'm sorry Chefette ... We miss Michelle too. I know Jeffrey is trying his best, but it just doesn't feel the same. We get it!
Chefette: Do you think if I bribed her, she would come back? Fml.
Lizzie: Oh, well I don't think bribery is really good for anything!
Chefette: Fml, how boring.

Edward: This soup is hotter than the fire that burnt my house to the ground.
April: Whaaat?! Your house burnt to the ground? Oh my Goodness Edward, I'm so sorry!
Edward: Yeah yeah, heard it before. It's whatever. Everything's gone.
Arya: Dude, that sucks. So do you feel ... Empty right now? As if you're ... Missing something?
Edward: Yeah, yeah I really do.
Arya: And do you feel angry sometimes? Like the thought of no longer having it just makes you angry?
Edward: Oh yes, I feel angry just about from the time I wake up to when I go to bed.
Arya: And does it make you feel angrier knowing that you couldn't stop her -- The fire from doing what she -- It did?
Edward: Wasn't aware fires had genders now, but yeah, sure.
Willow: That was full of symbolism ... You sure you're okay Arya?
Isla: You're still upset at Rosalía, aren't you?
Willow: You know about that Isla?
Isla: Yeah, I keep up with the show ... *stomach growls*
April: Isla, eat your soup! And Arya, is it true? Are you still mad?
Arya: I mean yeah ... It's hard to get over. Plus just being back in this environment is stressing me out ... It's been a while since I've last competed.
Edward: Guess we're onto her problems now and just completely ignoring mine. Whoopty doo.
(C) April: Oooh this is so difficult! Of course I still care about Arya! Seeing her like this is heartbreaking! But ... I can't, I can't help her ... Well, at least not directly! Maybe if I get Edward to befriend Arya, then they can talk about their problems with each other! Yeah!
(C) Arya: All of these overwhelming feelings are coming back to me ... I don't like it! I don't like it at all! I need a smoke, a drink, something ...
Isla: You're right, this soup is hot ... *stomach growls* I think I'm gonna hold off for now ...
Edward: You won't even eat soup? Yikes woman. No wonder you're all bones.
Willow: Hey, be nice to her! She's beautiful. Just because she chooses not to eat a lot doesn't change her.
Isla: Oh wow, thanks Willow ... You really think I'm beautiful?
Willow: You kidding? I'd kill to have your long wavy hair, haha! Mine's so curly, it always falls out.
Arya: I can't take this right now ... I'll see you guys later at the challenge ... *walks away*
April: Oooh, I feel so bad! Edward, do you think you could try and be friends with her? She needs someone to be there for her!
Edward: Um, why can't you? If you care about her so much ...
April: It's ... Complicated! Besides, you two can relate to a lot of mutual feelings! Please? For the sake of the team, at least!
Edward: ... Why am I being asked to do every single thing on this team?
Willow: Oh just do it! She asked nicely!
Isla: Still fiesty as ever, heh ... *stomach growls*
(C) Isla: Despite losing last time, I think my team will be fine. *stomach growls* Heh, uh, I swear I eat ... Every once in a while ... I'm not used to being called pretty ... I don't see it at all. Of course I'd like to be pretty, but I'm too fat, I've gotta get skinnier. *stomach growls*
