Survivor: Myanmar

Pyin Sa • Day 11

Unfortunately, the same could not be said for Pyin Sa, who was about to attend their third tribal council of the season—and, even worse, their second tribal council in a row. "Well," Alexa exclaimed, "that was a complete bust."

"I'm really sorry, guys," Camryn apologized. "I thought I was gonna be able to do the puzzle, but I just let you guys all down again."

"I did too," Eyal added. "We both kind of screwed up the puzzle part."

"I just hate going to tribal council all the time," Matthew exclaimed. "It's so exhausting, voting people out."

Camryn (Pyin Sa Tribe): This is the second time I've lost immunity for the whole tribe on the puzzle. And it sure doesn't feel any better than the first time, let me tell you that. Even though Eyal lost with me, I feel like I'm gonna get more blame than Eyal, because I've been in this spot before, and I was almost voted out first because of it. I really hope I can slide through another tribal council.

After the tribe set down their belongings and tribe flag, they sat around the shelter, and nobody looked at or spoke to each other for an awkwardly long time. Camryn was humming a song and tapping her foot, Alexa was lightly kicking the sand, Matthew was making all sorts of little movements with his body, and Mia was staring at the ground. Eyal was fiddling his thumbs, Brandon was tapping his knee with his fingers, Rallin was picking at the log he was sitting on, and Adora was cracking her knuckles.

But suddenly, Matthew stood up. "I'm gonna walk around for a bit," he said.

Adora (Pyin Sa Tribe • 1 immunity idol): For a while, after we got back from the challenge, we just kinda sat there. Everyone knows that one of us has to leave the game tonight, and it really does suck, having to go back over and over again and vote off these people, because I like all of them. But nobody said a word to anybody for five whole minutes, or maybe even more.

And then, Rallin stood up. "I'll join you," Rallin exclaimed. "I need a change of scenery right now."

One by one, everybody on Pyin Sa eventually stood up and walked away from the shelter, leaving just Camryn and Adora to themselves, sitting on opposite ends of the same log. 

Adora (Pyin Sa Tribe • 1 immunity idol/continued): And then Matthew got up, and it was like dominoes. First, it was Matthew, then Rallin, then Alexa and Mia, then Brandon, then Eyal. It was just me and Camryn at the shelter after that.

"Do you think they'll vote me again?" Camryn asked.

"I doubt it," Adora exclaimed. "From their point of view, I'd say they'll probably target me."

"You?" Camryn asked. "Why?"

"Well, Alexa and Mia are very strong at challenges, and if they think we have an idol, they won't target you because that's too obvious," Adora explained.

"Oh," Camryn said. "Well, that makes sense."

"So yeah, I think I'll be getting votes," Adora exclaimed. "But I don't think the girls will flip on me. So it's either Brandon or rocks."

"I hope it's not rocks," Camryn said. "Honestly, an idol would be nice right about now, now that I think about it..."

"Well, Camryn, I have good news for you then," Adora exclaimed.

Camryn let out a dramatic gasp. "Do you have it!?"

Adora smiled, and ran her hands through her bag next to her, before pulling out the Burmese jade pendant she found on Day 7. "I do," she said confidently.

"Oh my gosh—I didn't even—when did you find this!?" Camryn asked.

"A few days ago," Adora admitted. "You're the only person I've told now."

"Wow," Camryn said, her face decorated with awe.

"So if you get targeted, or I do, I'm playing this," Adora exclaimed.

"That's so nice of you," Camryn said. "You're awesome."

Camryn (Pyin Sa Tribe): Adora told me that she has the immunity idol and would play it on me. And honestly, I feel very special, knowing that I'm the first person she's told about it. I was already very close with Adora, but this solidifies our connection even more in my books. I definitely want to stay by her side for the long term if I can.

Brandon and Rallin were talking by the shore, both of them with their feet in the water. "I'm not excited for tonight," Rallin exclaimed.

"Oh, I'm terrified," Brandon agreed. "I feel like we might lose Eyal."

"Eyal? He's not getting voted off, the girls love him," Rallin said. "But like that could mean—"

"Exactly," Brandon interjected. "Exactly. They're roping him in."

Brandon (Pyin Sa Tribe): Right now, there's a lot of paranoia going around. I see right through Eyal and the girls becoming friends. They're trying to butter up to him, and because I'm probably gonna be the target, I need to make sure Eyal stays with us.

Conveniently, Eyal happened to walk by Brandon and Rallin. He noticed the pair, and walked towards them. "Hi," he exclaimed.

"Hey," Rallin said. "Are we good tonight?"

"Yeah," Eyal exclaimed. "The vote is Adora, right?"

"That's right," Brandon confirmed. "And I think they're gonna go for me."

"You? Why?" Eyal asked.

"I just feel like I'm the least obvious pick, which makes me the most obvious pick," Brandon exclaimed. "Also, people don't really talk to me a lot, at least with strategy."

"Either that, or they're going for Matthew, because he flipped back away from them at the last vote," Rallin interjected.

"That would make more sense," Eyal said.

Eyal (Pyin Sa Tribe): It's weird, getting information from both sides. I don't really think the guys know I'm considering turning on them, and it makes me a bit sad, actually, because I know I might be cutting one of them off. It's just a lot to think about, and I still don't know what I want to do unfortunately.

"Eyal, have you made your mind up yet?" Mia asked. "We have to go to tribal in a few minutes." It was just Mia and Eyal, sitting on the shelter together. Matthew was walking in circles behind them, but was far enough away that he couldn't hear them.

"Not quite yet," Eyal exclaimed. "It's just a super hard decision."

"I know," Mia agreed. "I'd hate it too. But I want the best for you, and your current alliance is kind of a sinking ship."

"Yeah," Eyal laughed. "I wanna be loyal to them, because I am very close with Rallin and Brandon in particular, but I also don't want to be voted off because I'm sticking with them."

"Have they come to a decision on a plan yet?" Mia asked.

"Adora, I think," Eyal admitted.

Mia (Pyin Sa Tribe): Eyal is a lot more transparent with me than I thought he would be, which leads me to believe that he actually is considering flipping and isn't just lying to butter me up. I don't think I can say I fully trust him yet, but if he does end up flipping, then I'll definitely trust him a lot more.

"Why Adora?" Mia asked.

"I'm not really sure," Eyal admitted. "You and Alexa are really good at challenges, though, and they said that between Adora and Camryn, Adora's less likely to get the idol played on her—so probably that, I guess."

"Well, I have no clue about any sort of idol, but I guess it makes sense, because we had a similar line of thinking for Brandon," Mia said. "Most under-the-radar; easiest target."

"I see," Eyal replied.

"Well," Mia continued, "we gotta head out for tribal. All I'm saying is that... I'll respect whatever decision you make, but I really hope you vote with us here. It would be a big move for you and it would help your game a lot."

"I'll figure it out soon enough," Eyal laughed. However, the laugh had a tone of desperation behind it.
