SURVIVOR - Palau

DAY 18 - Wet 'n' Wild

(ONCE AGAIN, I WILL PUT BELAU IN BOLD)

UNIVERSAL POINT OF VIEW:

The gloomiest day yet in Palau. A blanket of grey encases the sky as the sun attempts to breakthrough barely letting out a ray. It is very humid, and extremely muggy. No rain has fallen, but it is on it's way.

"Come on it Belau!" Jeff Probst calls out as Belau files in up the shore of an island. The six castaways make there way to the red mat where they position themselves.

"Alright Malakal!" Jeff shouts and Malakal walk along the shore of the opposite side of the beach Belau walked in. Malakal looking for redemption today, they do not want to make four losses in a row for their tribe.

"Belau, getting their first look at the new Malakal tribe" Jeff says, everyone looks around more suspicious now since it could be someone from their previous tribe that they got along with.

"Tom, voted out at the last Tribal Council" Jeff announces, Belau show no emotion however Mora exchanges a wink with Lindsay on Belau who is smiling happily. Kyle nods his head in happiness.

"First things first, Belau, I'll take immunity back from you" Jeff demands and takes the idol from Harrison

"Alright, in today's challenge two castaways from each tribe would face off against each other in the ocean to retrieve a ball and throw it into their tribe's net to score a point. The first tribe to score three points will win tribal Immunity and the best reward yet" Jeff announces. Everyone covers the mouth excited for what the reward could be, "an excursion to a to a stinger-free jellyfish lake with a feast of Pringles and Mai Tai"

Everyone almost screams in need and excitement. Eighteen days in and everyone craves a feast.

"Match ups, we will begin with two women, then two men, then we will mix it up from there. Everyone in the water" Jeff declares

"Belau, you got one extra member, who are you sitting out?" Jeff asks the Belau tribe

"I'm going to sit out!" Lindsay says

"Alright, Lindsay take a spot of the bench and get going" Jeff announced

"First up, we will go two women. For Belau we have Ricki and Courtney, and for Malakal we have Erika and Mora" Jeff says. The four castaways stand behind a rope, awaiting the signal to start. They observe the court. It is marked out in rope around the perimeter, the area being the same as a basketball court. On the other end of the court are two rings. A red one on the left and a blue one on the right for each tribe.

"Survivors ready.. Go!" Jeff shouts

As Jeff yells he throws a ball into the centre of the water court. All four duck under the rope and begin running as fast as possible through the water that comes up to about waist height. Lifting their knees high to make speed.

Ricki pulls in front but Mora jumps on her back holding on around her neck. Ricki bends forward sending Mora flying over Ricki's head. Ricki continued running and grabs the ball only for Mora to latch onto her waist again.

Erika and Courtney run down beside the two. Ricki passes it over to Erika who catches it close to their ring, but still to far away to shoot.

Mora lets go of Ricki, and all over a sudden everyone is coming at Erika. Erika freaks out and throws the ball at her ring, barely making the distance.
