SURVIVOR - Palau

DAY 6 - Bog Ball

UNIVERSAL POINT OF VIEW:

"Alright guys, come on in" Jeff announces as the Malakal tribe walks into the challenge area. Everyone smiles and giggles as they notice an enormous mud pit ready for the challenge.

The Malakal tribe take their positions as the Belau tribe tribe walk in.

"Conor, voted out at the last Tribal Council" Jeff says as everyone raises their eyebrows

The Belau tribe place there flag next to them, and they're ready to go

"Tom, are you surprised to see Conor gone from the other tribe?" Jeff asks

"I didn't really know him, or even notice him, so I don't really care" Tom replies as the rest of his tribe laugh all

Even members of the Belau tribe laugh.

"Alright, are you ready to get to today's challenge" Jeff asks rhetorically

"First things first, I'll take the immunity back from you Malakal" Jeff says as he walks over and takes the immunity statues from Courtney

"Once again, immunity is back up for grabs" Jeff says as everyone stares at the idol, desperate.

"As well as immunity, winner will be taking back comfort!" Jeff announces and everyone awe's in need for it. "Tarp, blankets, pillows a hammock. Everything you need to be perfectly comfortable at your camp"

"In todays challenge, Bog Ball, each team will send three members out at a time. A big 4 foot wooden ball will sit in the middle of the muddy arena. You must make your way through the 8 inch deep mud and try get the ball through your opponents goals. All forms of tackling are allowed. Malakal, you have one extra male, which guy do you wish to sit out?" Jeff asks, and through discussion Sean puts his hand up

"Alright, Sean will sit out of this challenge. It is first to two goals! I'll give you a minute to strategise."

"First round, two girls and one guy. For Belau we have Ricki, Dorothy and Leon, and for Malakal we have Courtney, Lindsay and Kyle" Jeff announces as the six get ready to run.

"Survivors ready... Go!" Jeff calls as the six run to the middle where the ball sits. Everyone in Malakal goes for the ball but reach at the same time as Belau. Dorothy runs around and grabs Lindsay by the waist, dunking her into the thick mud and holding her down.

Malakal begin to push the ball their way, towards the goals they are going for, but Belau is still pushing. As Lindsay sits up, Dorothy pushes her back down and runs to the ball this time taking down Kyle, pushing him face down in the mud. This gives Belau a lead and they begin to push.

Lindsay get up and grabs Dorothy by the throat and takes her off Kyle. Kyle immediately sprints up to the ball, and with incredible effort begins bringing it down his end. Dorothy and Lindsay are still wresting each other on the floor, Dorothy pulling half of Lindsays bikini top off.

Leon and Ricky cannot fight the strength of Courtney and Kyle, as Malakal get the ball closer and closer to the goals they achieve to get the ball in.

Attempting to push the ball back, away from the Malakal goals, Ricki gets stuck in the mud and falls. This does not look good for Belau

Dorothy finally escapes Lindsay's hold, but Lindsay is right after here and grabs here by foot, tripping Dorothy.

Ricki is wedged in the mud and can no longer push the ball back. Courtney and Kyle are centimetres away from the goals.

Courtney gets off the ball and runs around to Leon, and jumps on his back, wrapping here arms around his trying to get him off the ball

"An amazing tactic from Courtney!" Jeff yells

Surely enough, it works and Kyle runs the ball through the goals for Malakal

Malakal... 1, Belau... 0

"One more for Malakal, and they win immunity and reward." Jeff cries

"Next line up, one girl, two guys. For Belau we have Kate, Bennett and Harrison. For Malakal we have Mora, Jonathan and Tom"

The fierce line up eye each other off

"Survivors ready... Go!" Jeff announces

At the exact moment Jeff says go, the survivors are off, trenching their way through the thick mud as fast as they can.

Jonathan from Malakal is the first to reach the ball and begins pushing. Mora takes a face plant to the mud, but everyone is pushing as hard as they can to go the ball their way.

Tom takes off the ball and latches onto Bennett. Harrison and Kate push as hard as they can against Jonathan on the other side of the ball. Mora by now has gotten up and can assist Jonathan to push the ball to give the Malakal tribe a better chance of winning.

But Kate sees her coming, and reaches out to Mora and pushes her back into the mud. As Kate goes to run away, Mora grabs her foot and Kate falls. Kate and Mora now hustling on the ground.

Bennett has taken Tom to the ground, so Bennett gets up and helps Harrioson. Harrison and Bennett are pushing the ball for Belau, and Jonathan pushes for Malakal. The ball is further down Malakal's end.

Tom gets up and goes to both Harrison and Bennett taking them both down, wrapping one of his arms around Harrison's waist and the other around Bennett's neck. He takes them both to the mud, on top of them both.

"Go Jonathan! Go!" Tom shouts as Jonathan puts everything into pushing the heavy ball, through the mud and to the goals.

Jonathan is less then a metre away when Kate comes up the rear and holds onto Jonathan's waist, slowing him down. Tom still has Harrison and Bennett pinned down.

Jonathan turns around and tries to get Kate off him, but she won't budge. She holds onto his waist and legs wrapped around his leg, slowing him right down.

But Jonathan is strong and manages to keep pushing. Pushing until the balls is throw the goals

"Malakal WINS immunity!" Jeff shouts throwing his hands up in the air.

Jonathan falls to the groud, exhausted. The rest of the tribe jump up and down, cheering! Tom shakes Bennett and Harrison's hand before running down and hugging Jonathan.

***

The tribes have resembled on their mats, still muddy and disgusting.

"That was a great challenge, congratulations Malakal tribe. Take your comfort items and here is immunity" Jeff walks the immunity idol over to the tribe and hands it to Jonathan. "I think you deserved it Jonathan"

Everyone pats him on the back and rubs his shoulders.

"Belau, I got nothing for you except another date with me at Tribal Council tonight. I'll give you the rest of the afternoon to decide who will be leaving us tonight. See you all later"

Minds ticking already, as the Belau tribe think about who is next tonight.
