SURVIVOR - Palau

DAY 18 - Where do I sit?

BELAU TRIBE - Reward Challenge

MORA'S POINT OF VIEW:

Getting off the helicopter was like arriving at paradise. Especially since I had just been through hell at that challenge. Basically everyone was against me. I won't lie however, it was kind of a funny experience. Especially when Courtney had a blood nose, I was holding back tears.

But I am going to put it all behind me and enjoy this amazing reward. We walk through the dense forest to this huge amazing lake. The story behind Jellyfish lake is that it was once joint to the ocean, but through time it has become disconnected and the jellyfish that populated the lake have evolved differently, being that they don't have stingers and are completely harmless.

We arrive to a massive feast including a variety of Pringles and Mai Tai. We also eat various sea foods. The sushi was divine.

We then ventured into the lake where we swam around with the completely harmless jellyfish. It was incredible. This creatures are beautiful and the fact they are not harmless is amazing. I could touch them, pat them, whatever, and they wouldn't hurt me.

Shame I have to share this experience with a bunch of twits

But it is an extraordinary, once in a life time experience, so I am going to enjoy it whilst it lasts.

COURTNEY'S POINT OF VIEW:

I am absolutely disgusted by Mora in that challenge. She played appalling with horrible sportsmanship and outrageous amounts of disrespect. Nothing less of what I would expect from her.

The nose bleed didn't really hurt either. I just played up the dramatics so Mora would dig herself a deeper hole then she is already in.

But this challenge was fun besides that. To be able to tackle people freely was a bunch of fun and I really enjoyed myself. Everyone in our tribe also did a really fantastic job. A star player was definitely Ricki, she dominated three of the four rounds that were played. I am really proud of her. I think voting anyone out according to today's challenge would be unfair, unless it was Lindsay, since she didn't participate.

But now we really get down to the ntty-gritty stuff, of having to vote one of us out. Belau has grown really close, like a unified tribe and voting one of us out will hurt. I feel as if it should be Lindsay, although she is nicer without Mora, when it comes to merge she might flip back to Mora. If we don't get to to merge with more numbers then the other tribe, and Lindsay flips, the outcome could be catastrophic for all of us Belau members.

I think I will be able to convince Ricki, she won't be fussed as long as it isn't here. Hopefully, if I can pull Ricki into my plan, she will be able to convince Harrison and Leon, because Kyle still isn't very fond of me, although he has opened up a lot more without Jonathan around.

Arriving back at camp was quite a somber feel, missing out on the reward was pretty devastating as it was the best we have had yet

"Well, we all gave it a good shot!" Harrison says to the tribe, "now guys, whatever happens tonight... no hard feelings, yea?"

Everyone nods and smiles at his question, but we all know there will probably be hard-feelings

Immediately dropping my bag and water, Ricki pulls me aside and we take a stroll up the beach

RICKI'S POINT OF VIEW:

I look around and make sure no one is watching me, when I take Ricki's arm and subtly take her down the beach.

"Alrighty" I say uncertainly. She looks at me as if I am to finish my sentence, but I don't know what to say

"You think we're in trouble?" she asks.
