Jeff Probst: Previously on... Survivor. Audrey was feeling all alone after Jonathan was voted out, and looked to be the obvious next target. However, a tribe swap caused a shift in everyone's game. Grace was sent to Revenge Island, where she was faced with a dilemma between two advantages and food, but ended up choosing the latter. On Ftelia, Audrey was willing to flip on her old tribe... and so was Mario, ready to make a move against former alliance member Olivia. At Ornos, Julia, Dwight, and Rafael were caught in the middle between the other original Ornos, because everyone was making a case against each other. At the immunity challenge, Ftelia lost for the 3rd time in a row. Audrey, once again, blamed Mario for the loss. Back at camp, James exposed Mario's plan to blindside Olivia, so Olivia wanted to blindside Mario instead. Despite this information being exposed at Tribal Council, Mario was still depending on Olivia to play her idol on him. However, Olivia kept her idol for herself, and Mario was sent to Revenge Island. 14 are left, who will be voted out tonight?

Ftelia: Night 11

[Scene: The remaining six tribe members head back to camp with their torches, and set them aside.]

Kirk: That was quite a Tribal, you guys.

Olivia: Thanks everyone, for sparing me. [CONF: Oh my God, so... Mario left. And by some miracle, no one still knows about my idol... except for Rafael and now, Sarah. I trust those two dearly, at least that's what intuition is telling me. If I'm going to play this thing, it's going to be at the right time.]

Melinda: You think we'll be able to win some challenges now, Audrey?

Audrey: *laughs* I sure hope so. [CONF: It's been a long time coming, but I am finally free of Mario's attempts at trying to get me out. Right now, I'd really like to stick with James, Melinda, and Kirk, because Olivia and Sarah both tried to get my allies out, too. Grace being an addition to our tribe will be great, because that's one more original Ornos member I can integrate myself with. Let's just hope she doesn't hate her tribe like I did. *laughs*]

Olivia: I'd just like to clear the air right here in the open... did anyone here vote for me?

Melinda: I sure didn't.

[Everyone else shakes their heads.]

Olivia: It must've been Jonathan, then. Should've figured.

Kirk: What did Jonathan have against you?

Olivia: Didn't believe I was a real psychic. Nothing I haven't heard before.

Kirk: Well, if it helps, the rest of us believe you.

[Everyone nods in agreement.]

Olivia: *smiles* Thank you. So many people in my life doubted I was legitimate, but the amount of support I've gotten from everyone here is incredible. *wipes tear* I'm sorry.

Kirk: No, no! That's great! Psychics get such bad reps. You have an amazing gift, and you should be proud of that.

Olivia: Stop, you're gonna make me cry again! *laughs* [CONF: Going into this game, I never would have expected people to gravitate towards me as well as they have. I was fully expecting everyone to be like, "Oh, here's this season's crazy woman, let's get her out first." Fortunately, these people are taking a different and positive approach to the situation, and allowing me to feel pride in myself. And because of that, I'm so eternally grateful.] Alright, let's get some rest, everyone. We deserve it.

Sarah: Agreed. I'm beat.

Audrey: Night! *goes to the shelter with James*

Melinda: [CONF: I decided at Tribal Council tonight that Mario was the one who needed to go instead of Olivia. However, I'm slowly starting to realize where he's coming from. Olivia is... adored by this tribe. She might just be the one thing that's standing in my way of one million dollars.]

Ornos: Day 12

[Scene: Zach, in the shallow part of the water. The other six tribemates wait by the shore.]

Zach: [CONF: Ever since I was a kid, my dad and I went to the lake every summer to go and fish together. Naturally, I felt the need to provide some food for the tribe. Someone on here must've grabbed a spear on the first day, and thank God they did, because this has really come in handy.] *spears fish*

Julia: Alright, Zach!

Zach: *walks back to shore with the fish and smiles*

Amy: What kind of fish is that? I've never seen anything like it before.

Michelle: *looks* Looks to be a rainbow wrasse.

Rafael: Wow, it's gorgeous!

Michelle: Watch out for their teeth, though. They're carnivores.

Julia: So, Michelle, I'm just wondering... what exactly do you study as a zoologist? I'd love to know, since I've noticed you really know your animals.

Michelle: Well, a lot, actually. I usually work at a zoo, so it really varies. Giraffes, fish, chickens, lions, monkeys... the whole nine yards. I just love my job.

Julia: Hey, that's awesome. Not everyone can say that.

Michelle: *smiles* [CONF: I've really enjoyed talking to Julia during my time out here. She's definitely someone I'd want to work with in the future. I think our names are just destined to work together! *laughs* I'm really hoping that our good relationship will allow me to get Zach or Amy out by pulling in Dwight and Rafael to vote with Edwin and I.]

[Scene: Michelle and Edwin in the shelter.]

Edwin: So, have you gotten a good read on anyone yet?

Michelle: Julia and I have been getting along great. I feel like if I tell her about my idol, it'll create a sense of trust between us. Do you want me to do it?

Edwin: I mean... if you trust her that much...

Michelle: So do you want me to do it or not?

Edwin: *shrugs* Your choice.

Michelle: *exhales* Don't make me regret doing this.

[Scene: Julia by the beach.]

Michelle: *approaches* Do you trust me?

Julia: *laughs* Of course I do!

Michelle: *sits down* I... found a little something. *takes idol out of her bag and shows Julia*

Julia: *gasps* Oh my God! No wonder why I couldn't find it anywhere! Where was it?

Michelle: Right underneath the shelter over there. *points*

Julia: *rolls eyes and laughs* Just under our noses.

Michelle: *laughs back* I get really good vibes from you, and I thought you should know about this. Only Edwin knows about this.

Julia: Well, I have a little surprise of my own... *digs through bag*

Michelle: Shut up! Did you...?

Julia: *grabs legacy advantage* This. The legacy advantage.

Michelle: Does anyone know about this?

Julia: I told Sarah the first day we got here, but that's it. I trust you as much as I trust her. I would love for the three of us to go to the final three. I'd love to see a girl win.

Michelle: Me too! Oh, I am so down for this. [CONF: So, as it turns out, Julia found an advantage. This is freaking amazing, and I totally didn't expect this coming into our conversation. In the back of my mind, I'm still thinking about my early alliance with Edwin, which may complicate things... But for now, I am overjoyed.]

Julia: What should we call ourselves?

Michelle: What about... "The Power of Three"?

Julia: Yesss! I love that! [CONF: The Power of Three is officially in business. Michelle seems to really trust me, and I really trust her. Too bad I can't telepathically tell Sarah about this, or else we'd have a serious power alliance running right now.]

[Scene: Dwight and Rafael, near the tide.]

Dwight: Alright, call me crazy, but... I'm getting worried about Julia.

Rafael: Dude, what?

Dwight: I haven't seen her all day.

Rafael: Dwight, please. You're just being paranoid.

Dwight: No, I'm being logical here. She didn't even tell us where she was going.

Julia: *approaches*

Dwight: Oh, Julia! We were just talking about you!

Rafael: *nudges Dwight*

Julia: *laughs* About what?

Dwight: Just... where you were, that's all.

Julia: Well, I was just talking to Michelle. She says she's with us 100%, and she can bring Edwin on board with us, too. So, I say we get Amy out next Tribal Council. Zach has done an excellent job at feeding us, so I'd like to keep him around as long as we need to.

Rafael: I wholeheartedly agree. Dwight?

Dwight: Yeah, sure. [CONF: As the days have gone by, I've gotten to know everyone on this tribe a little bit more. I don't exactly trust Michelle that much, so I don't think she's actually with us. I'm also worried that her and Julia are getting a little too close for my liking. I have to cut this pair apart before it threatens my game.]

Ftelia: Day 12

[Scene: The tribe waking up in the shelter.]

Sarah: *slowly gets up* Morning.

Olivia: *gets up and yawns* Want to go to the water well?

Sarah: Yeah, just a second. I'll try not to wake anyone. *puts hair in bun*

[Scene: In the woods.]

Sarah: *pours water in bottle* So... what are we going to do now?

Olivia: Well, here's what I'm thinking. Mario either cast his Revenge Vote for me or Audrey, so we have that going for us.

Sarah: Do you really think Melinda, Kirk, and Grace are going to side with us? You know, with getting Audrey out and all?

Olivia: Unfortunately, I don't know everything.

Sarah: At least you have your idol.

Olivia: Well, what I do know is that if I'm going to use my idol, it has to be at the right time.

Sarah: Wait, if you said Mario's Revenge Vote could go either way...

Olivia: Oh no. They're coming after me next. I know it. *breathing heavily*

Sarah: Olivia, listen. *grabs Olivia's shoulders, trying to calm her down* We're going to get through this. Just... breathe in... and out... *inhales and exhales with Olivia* [CONF: Olivia and I are definitely at the bottom. This is such a weird position to be in so quickly after being in control for the first few votes. Thankfully, Olivia's idol could get us out of this situation and let us have the ability to make a big move here.]

[Scene: Melinda and Kirk in the shelter.]

Melinda: What are we going to do about Grace?

Kirk: What do you mean?

Melinda: Well, it looks like we have an Audrey situation of our own. Did she ever fix that mystery vote fiasco?

Kirk: Not... exactly. Amy and Grace must've made amends, because there was a plan in motion to take out Edwin.

Melinda: So she thinks Edwin voted for her instead of James?

Kirk: Don't ask me, but let's just say their case against him was quite strong...

Melinda: [CONF: Grace is coming back from Revenge Island, which puts Ornos at a 4-3 advantage. With Audrey on our side, that just leaves us at a greater advantage. Grace, on the other hand, could go anywhere. First, she was targeting Amy based on a lie James told her, and then suddenly decided to go after Edwin? What? Olivia and Sarah might be able to play this to their advantage to get Audrey out, considering Mario's behavior last night. And I can't let that happen.]

[Scene: James and Audrey by the tide.]

Audrey: I'm so glad you're here.

James: *smiles* Me too.

Audrey: *smiles back* If I were to ever call something romantic on Survivor, I think deflecting the target off of me is right up there, don't you think?

James: Of course. I couldn't let Olivia and Sarah vote you out.

Audrey: *laughs* Figures they'd want me to leave.

James: I would never let that happen, babe-- I mean, look, baby pig!

Audrey: *looks behind her, screams, and gets up* Oh my God!

James: *laughs, gets up, and wraps arms around Audrey* Relax, he's not going to hurt you.

[The baby pig snorts.]

Audrey: I... I uh, just didn't expect it. That's all. [CONF: James and I's relationship has only grown stronger from every day we've spent together. He's even treating me like I'm his girlfriend -- caring about my feelings, protecting me, wrapping his arms around me. It's adorable. However, I can't let my feelings get in the way of the bigger picture here.]

James: *approaches the baby pig* Come here, little guy. Are you lost? *grabs the pig off the sand* Let's get you to your momma.

Audrey: Hey, didn't you tell me you were trying so hard to kill the chicken Michelle brought for your tribe?

James: Well, I think I've learned that I should appreciate the animal kingdom. Besides, there's no way we should eat a baby, anyways. *looks at Audrey* C'mon. *approaches the woods* [CONF: So, while Audrey and I are relaxing by the beach, a little pig just happens to come along. I decided that I wanted to redeem myself after my last encounter with an animal here, so it just felt right to bring it back to the wild.]

[Scene: James and Audrey, in the woods.]

James: *sets pig down* Go on!

[A larger pig starts approaching James and Audrey. The baby pig starts running to its mother.]

James: *smiles*

Audrey: Oh my God, I think I'm gonna cry. *wipes a tear* At least someone here has their family out here.

James: *hugs Audrey*

Audrey: *leans against James* [CONF: James is making it so damn hard to not fall in love with him. *covers face* Aaah!! Do I really want to get myself into another one of these showmances? Oh God... what do I do?]

Reward Challenge: Day 13

Jeff Probst: Come on in, guys!

[Both tribes walk into the challenge, walking onto their respective tribe mats.]

Jeff Probst: Getting your first look at the new Ftelia tribe. Mario... voted out at the last Tribal Council.

Julia: Oh my God...

Olivia: *smiles*

Jeff Probst: We also have Grace, who has returned from Revenge Island.

Grace: *approaches*

Jeff Probst: *gives Grace a blue buff* Grace, say hello to your new tribe.

Grace: Well, hey there. *walks over to the blue mat*

Jeff Probst: Alright, are you guys ready for today's reward challenge?

[Everyone yells "yes".]

Jeff Probst: For today's challenge, both tribes will have to go over a series of obstacles. After your entire tribe has passed through that, one tribe member must chop down a rope that will release sandbags from a net. After that, your tribe must knock down 5 targets using a slingshot. First tribe to finish wins reward. Wanna know what you're playing for?

[Everyone yells "yes".]

Jeff Probst: *reveals* Comfort items. A hammock, tarp, pillows, and blankets.

Edwin: [whispers to tribe] We gotta win. My back has been killing me.

Amy: [close up shot]

Jeff Probst: I'll give you guys a minute to strategize, and we'll get started.
[At the challenge, it is mostly even. James chops the rope for Ftelia, Zach for Ornos. At the slingshot portion, Sarah and Kirk take turns taking down targets; Amy and Michelle for Ornos. Sarah and Kirk hit and miss often, whereas Amy and Michelle missed only one. Amy knocks down the final target.]

Jeff Probst: Ornos, wins reward!

Sarah: *sighs and looks defeated* Damn it.

Kirk: We'll get 'em next time.

Michelle: *hugs Amy*

Jeff Probst: Ornos, congrats. You can grab your reward on the way out.

Sarah: [CONF: I couldn't be more frustrated with myself right now. I haven't won a single challenge since Day 3, and I just don't understand why. I'm still trying to keep up hope, but it's just so hard when we keep getting defeated over and over again.]

Ornos: Day 13

[Scene: The tribe walking back from the challenge.]

Edwin: [CONF: We win the reward challenge, and once again, it's such a great feeling. We really have been a roll, because we have won the last five challenges in a row. Life is looking pretty good at Ornos.]

[Scene: Julia and Michelle in the shelter.]

Julia: So.. I was talking to Dwight and Rafael, and I was just wondering if you're on board with taking out Amy.

Michelle: *sighs* I don't know why everyone wants Amy out so badly. Is there any way it can get switched to Zach?

Julia: Well, he's been providing us with fish, so we have to consider that.

Michelle: I'm going to tell you the same thing I told Edwin -- we have eggs too, y'know?

Julia: But didn't you really enjoy that wrasse yesterday?

Michelle: *sighs* What I'm trying to say is that just because one of our tribe members gets us fish, doesn't mean we're helpless. Edwin could fish for us. Rafael could fish for us. I could even learn. Zach isn't invincible.

Julia: [CONF: Oh... dear. Michelle is still stuck on wanting Zach out. However, it is logically smarter to get Amy out now. I really hope she understands that sometimes the person we don't like the most out here isn't always the smartest option to eliminate. I'll give her a couple days, and maybe she'll start thinking a little more clearly.]

[Scene: Amy and Zach, in the woods.]

Amy: Something isn't sitting right.

Zach: What do you mean?

Amy: I don't know, it's just... no one has been talking to me, really. Do you think they're trying to get me out?

Zach: They?

Amy: Oh, you know. Julia, Dwight, and Rafael. Why do we have to rely on them? We've all been so focused on trying to get each other out, when we should be coming together instead. [CONF: As much as I'd like to get Edwin out, I don't believe we'd have the numbers. Those three not doing any strategizing with me is very worrisome. Us four Ornos members may need to settle our differences aside and get one of them out. Because once the merge comes, we want to have as many numbers as possible.]

Zach: You want me to work with Michelle? Yeah, I don't think so.

Amy: Damn it, Zach. Listen. This is what they want us to do. We can deal with our personal feuds later.

Zach: Just because we're all on the same tribe doesn't mean we need to work together.

Amy: Well... if Michelle leaves, you, me, and Edwin are sitting ducks. Let's do something about it!

Zach: [CONF: As much as I am not exactly liking the idea of aligning myself with Michelle, Amy made a good point. Those three haven't talked to me... really, at all since the swap happened. It definitely raises some questions on where their loyalties lie. So... *heavy sigh* here goes nothing.]

[Scene: Edwin and Michelle, in the shelter.]

Michelle: *sees Zach approaching* Are you here to bitch about the chickens again?

Zach: What? No. Look, this might sound crazy, but us four might... just have to work together.

Michelle: *laughs* Is this some devious plan of yours? Trying to get us to all align so you just end up stabbing me in the back?

Amy: No, it isn't. I have an idea that will save all of us. We are genuinely concerned about us getting picked off one by one in the future.

Zach: After we're taken care of, you two are next.

Amy: We need to get rid of the one person with the most connections out here.

Zach: Julia.

Michelle: *eyes widen*

Amy: With Julia gone, Rafael and Dwight will have no one to go to. Besides, she's great at the challenges. We can't have that around.

Edwin: You do bring up some good points. We'll definitely keep it in mind. Right, Michelle?

Michelle: Yeah. Right.

Amy: [CONF: I think that conversation went pretty well. I really believe that I'll be able to pull this off.]

Michelle: [CONF: Amy is targeting Julia, and I am furious. I'm suddenly starting to see what exactly Edwin meant by saying that I can't trust Amy.]

[Scene: Julia, relaxing by the beach.]

Michelle: *approaches* Oh my God, Julia. You won't believe what I just heard.

Julia: Oh no...

Michelle: *sits down* Amy and Zach are trying to get you out. Amy's plan by the way. Edwin and I just nodded along... I mean, we had to, but I feel like you should know about this.

Julia: Yeah, thanks for telling me about this. So, in case it wasn't obvious, we're voting for Amy at the next Tribal Council.

Michelle: Of course. *fist bumps Julia* We're in this together.

Julia: All the way. [CONF: Michelle tells me that Amy is plotting against me. *laughs* You aren't going to get away with this. Today made it crystal clear who actually has my back... and who doesn't.]

Ftelia: Day 13

[Scene: The tribe walking back from the challenge.]

Grace: [CONF: So... here I am. It looks like Mario, a former Ftelia member, was voted out last night. Melinda and Kirk must've pulled some strings, because now Ornos has the upper hand. I feel like I have a pretty good relationship with both of them. I don't feel the need to do any flip flopping around... yet. James may be on my radar, but that's for another Tribal.]

[Scene: Melinda, Kirk, James, Audrey, and Grace in the shelter.]

Melinda: Oh my God, we have so much to tell you. First of all, we have Audrey on our side. Rock solid, no going back.

Audrey: I have absolutely no intentions of going back to my old tribe. They were going to vote me out next anyways, so they're getting a taste of their own medicine.

Grace: I like the sound of that!

Melinda: We have to get either Olivia or Sarah out next. Us girls can vote for Olivia, the boys on Sarah. Just in case of an idol.

James: I don't think we can split it, Melinda.

Melinda: Why not?

James: Remember Mario's Revenge Vote? Olivia and Sarah are betting on his vote being for Audrey, and we're betting on it being for Olivia. If one of them plays an idol and Mario voted for Audrey, we're screwed. We just have to pray that neither of them found it.

Grace: Are you sure there's no idol here?

Audrey: I've spent more time in that woods than I could ever count. It's not freaking there.

[Scene: Sarah and Olivia by the tide.]

Sarah: This f**king sucks.

Olivia: We can't give up, Sarah. I truly believe we are going to end up winning sometime sooner or later. I just wish I knew when...

Sarah: Well, it better be tomorrow, because I am so sick of losing challenge after challenge. *wipes tear* And sometimes I just think it's all my fault... and I just feel so guilty. Maybe Mario wasn't the problem.

Olivia: You are not the reason we are losing, Sarah. I've seen you give it your best at every single challenge. We just have to keep doing that.

Sarah: *nodding* *voice cracking* I know, I know. I... I just... just want to quit losing so much. We should've won today... *covers face to hide her crying*

[Thunder erupts from a distance]

Olivia: Come here. *hugs Sarah* [CONF: Sarah and I have been really struggling out here. Losing constantly and being on the bottom definitely isn't easy. Sometimes the best thing to do is to just... release everything we've been building inside of us.]

[Rain downpours, lightning cracks, and thunder grows much louder]

[Scene: Everyone in the shelter.]

Melinda: Damn, we really could've used the reward today.

Sarah: *eyes Melinda*

Kirk: *shivering, with his hoodie covering his head and entire body* [CONF: I am absolutely shivering... from head to toe. This rain has been going on for what has felt like hours and hours and hours. We are all... trapped inside the shelter, with no blankets or anything else to keep us warm. It's absolutely brutal out here. My time out here has let me try to look on the positive side. This could easily be worse. We can get through this.]

Audrey: How much longer is this going to last, Olivia?

Olivia: I'm a psychic, not a meteorologist. I can only predict people's futures, not Mother Nature's.

Audrey: *leans back* Oh. Just wondering... *sits in silence* [CONF: Our tribe absolutely has to win tomorrow. I am so sick and tired of having to go back to back to back to Tribal Council. I may be in the majority now, but Olivia and Sarah are both very intelligent women that could pull a fast one. So, winning is more crucial than ever.]

Immunity Challenge: Day 14

Jeff Probst: Come on in, guys!

[Both tribes walk into the challenge, walking onto their respective tribe mats.]

Jeff Probst: Are you guys ready for your next immunity challenge?

[Everyone yells "yes".]

Jeff Probst: But first... Dwight, I'll have to take back the Immunity Idol.

Dwight: *gives Immunity Idol back to Jeff*

Jeff Probst: *sets idol down* Once again, immunity is back up for grabs. For today's challenge, four members of your tribe will swim out into the ocean and retrieve giant crates, with different colors on each side. Once the crates have been retrieved, the remaining three members will stack the crates together so that no color is repeating on each column. First tribe to finish wins immunity. Losers will have Tribal Council, where someone will become the fifth person voted out of this game, and will be sent to Revenge Island. I'll give you guys a minute to strategize, and we'll get started.

[At the challenge, Audrey, Graces, James, and Melinda retrieve crates while Kirk, Olivia, and Sarah solve the puzzle for Ftelia; Amy, Julia, Rafael, and Zach retrieve crates while Dwight, Edwin, and Michelle solve the puzzle for Ornos. The first portion is extremely close, with Ftelia having a slight edge. However, at the puzzle portion of the challenge, Dwight makes a breakthrough. The three Ornos members quickly stack the crates in the correct order.]

Jeff Probst: Ornos, wins immunity! Fourth straight win a row!

[Dwight, Edwin, and Michelle hug and celebrate.]

Sarah: *covers face*

Olivia: [whispers to Sarah] We're going to get through this.

Jeff Probst: Once again, immunity is yours Ornos. *hands idol to Dwight* No Tribal tonight. Head on out. Congrats.

Sarah: *watches as Ornos leaves*

Jeff Probst: Ftelia... you gave it your all, but it wasn't enough. Someone will become the fifth person voted out of this game and will be sent to Revenge Island. See you tonight.

Melinda: [CONF: We lost the immunity challenge today, but there's a plan in place. We'll have to see if either of them have a bag of tricks up their sleeves. I'm just praying that my alliance doesn't get screwed over.]

Ftelia: Day 14

[Scene: The tribe walking back from the challenge.]

Olivia: [CONF: Walking back to camp today was very... tense. Pretty much everyone knows that it's either Sarah or I tonight. However, what they don't know is that I have this *holds up idol* to get us out of this.]

[Scene: Audrey, Grace, James, Kirk, and Melinda in the shelter.]

Audrey: So, we're still on the same page, right?

James: Olivia. All in.

Kirk: You sure this plan to not split the votes is going to work, James?

James: We can't risk it.

Melinda: Wait. Wait a minute. James, is there something you're not telling me?

James: What? No...

Melinda: [under her breath] Oh my God how could I be so stupid? [voice louder] James... shouldn't we split it? If Olivia hypothetically has the idol and Mario voted for Olivia, it could easily go 2 votes Sarah, 2 votes Audrey -- and Sarah goes in a revote.

James: Okay... but what if Olivia plays her idol, Mario voted for Audrey, and then we're all screwed?

Kirk: But if we all vote Olivia and she plays her idol, it could go 3 votes Audrey or 2 votes Audrey. If we split it, Audrey has a lesser chance of going.

Audrey: I just don't want to leave.

Grace: *gets up and leaves* Y'all are making my brain hurt. [CONF: No one seems to be sticking to a plan right now, and it's really frustrating. Are we going to split the votes? Are we not? It's just a huge mess and based on a bunch of what ifs. I might need to expand my horizons a little...]

[Scene: Audrey and James, near the shelter.]

Audrey: *looks at James* Hey, uh... in case I end up going tonight, I just wanted to say you've been such a great ally and friend. I hope we can continue being friends outside of this game.

James: Yeah, we could even be more than friends.

Audrey: *raises eyebrow*

James: *sweats nervously* Best friends! *laughs*

Audrey: *rolls eyes* God, you're so corny.

James: [CONF: It would be devastating for sure if Audrey were to leave tonight. I'm doing everything in my power to keep her safe, and hopefully it's going to be enough.]

[Scene: Sarah and Olivia, in the woods.]

Sarah: Alright, so have you talked to anyone today?

Olivia: *shakes head* No.

Sarah: Well, it's a long shot, but we should talk to Grace. There has to be a crack somewhere.

Olivia: [CONF: I would really like to avoid playing my idol tonight if I could help it. If the votes get split, Sarah and I could pull this off if Grace is on board, and Mario voted for Audrey. I can't believe I have to rely on that jackass in order for me to stay.]

Grace: *approaches* Hey.

Sarah: Hi, Grace. We were just going to talk to you.

Grace: Sure. Hit me.

Olivia: Well, as you know, we're kind of desperate. The two of us know it's one of us tonight, and we're expecting a split vote. Right?

Grace: *nods*

Sarah: We were thinking about getting you on board with voting Audrey. It would me, you, Olivia, and Mario's Revenge Vote.

Grace: How certain are you about his vote, exactly?

Olivia: Not very. He showed quite the distaste for Audrey and I pretty much equally.

Grace: Oh. *laughs* Lovely.

Sarah: So, are you willing to throw us a bone tonight?

Grace: I will definitely think about it.

Olivia: We appreciate the gesture. No matter what happens, at least we can say we tried. *shakes hand*

Grace: *shakes hand* Never say never. [CONF: I have a lot to think about going into Tribal Council tonight. Do I stick with my original Ornos alliance, or do I side with Olivia and Sarah and vote out Audrey? Regardless, it will be my decision... and my decision only.]

Olivia: *watches Grace leave* Sarah, I have an idea. In case I sense something goes wrong.

Sarah: *raises eyebrows* Like what?

Olivia: *takes out idol* I'm giving this to you. For now. I'm going to make it seem like I'm ready to leave and that I've checked out. I'll even go as far as dumping my bag out in front of everyone. That's why you need to take the idol and put it in your pocket. Then, we play it after the votes.

Sarah: Do you think it'll work?

Olivia: I know so.

Sarah: [CONF: Holy crap. Olivia is making a ballsy move by making sure all of the votes go on her. I am definitely terrified that it won't be enough and the vote is going to end up split anyways. But if she envisions this plan working out, I trust her all the way.]

Olivia: [CONF: It looks like I'll have to use my idol in order for my plan to work. I sensed that I would need to play my idol when the time is right, and right now seems to be that time. I think that I can be a brilliant actress, so I feel quite confident in my abilities. Tonight, the tides are going to turn. They better watch out for Mount Olivia.]

[Scene: Everyone grabbing their torches and walking to Tribal Council.]

Ftelia Tribal Council: Night 14

Jeff Probst: *sits down* Alright, fourth Tribal Council in a row for this tribe. Sarah, it looked like you took the Reward Challenge's loss pretty hard. Do you feel any guilt about your tribe losing ever?

Sarah: To be completely honest Jeff, yes. When there's no one in specific to blame, you just end up blaming yourself.

Jeff Probst: Audrey, you have blamed Mario in the past for being the reason why your tribe has lost so many challenges in a row. Now that he's gone, and you guys have lost yet again, where does the focus shift?

Audrey: To be honest Jeff, today's challenge wasn't the blame of anyone. More than ever everyone wanted to avoid talking to you tonight. *laughs* All we can do is try to move forward and work our asses off next time.

Jeff Probst: James, at the Tribal Council, you told everyone publicly that Mario was targeting Olivia in order to protect Audrey. Do you have any regrets about doing this?

James: Absolutely not. I think our tribe made the right decision to get rid of Mario. We may not have won today, but like Audrey said, we will try our best again.

Jeff Probst: Grace, you were exiled to Revenge Island. What was it like being isolated from everyone?

Grace: I was honestly terrified, Jeff. It was probably the scariest four nights of my life. The worst part was... I couldn't talk to a single person. I'm a social person, naturally, so it was a major setback.

Jeff Probst: Kirk, you went through your first thunderstorm in Mykonos yesterday. How would you describe your experience?

Kirk: Oh my God, Jeff, it was awful. I was shivering so bad. We just got really unlucky not winning the reward, because that storm hit really hard.

Jeff Probst: Olivia, you received two votes last night. Are you feeling nervous?

Olivia: Absolutely yes. It has been made clear that there is a group of five that Sarah and I are not a part of.

Jeff Probst: Sarah, would you agree?

Olivia: Yeah, unfortunately Olivia is right. I'm fully expecting to receive votes tonight.

Jeff Probst: Is anyone else here expecting votes?

Audrey: *raises hand*

Jeff Probst: Audrey, I noticed that you raised your hand. Why are you feeling nervous?

Audrey: Well, Mario's last encounter with me might've been telling where his Revenge Vote went. Olivia and Sarah are relying on that to potentially make a move against me, but you aren't making a move when you go after the easy target.

Olivia: [whispers to Sarah] You know what we're doing, right?

Sarah: *nods*

Olivia: Jeff, I'd like to make something perfectly clear to this tribe.

Jeff Probst: Go ahead.

Olivia: *sighs* This has been one of the greatest experiences of my life. These past two weeks have so many cherished memories. However... *takes out bag and dumps everything out* I don't have a single idol in here, and neither does Sarah.

Sarah: *dumps bag* Empty.

Olivia: I'd rather be voted knowing that there's no false hope for me. So, everyone... do what you have to do.

Audrey: [whispers to James] Is this a cop-out?

James: *shrugs*

Jeff Probst: Olivia, does this mean that you are giving up?

Olivia: I wouldn't call it giving up, Jeff. I've done everything in my power to stay, and even my psychic abilities are predicting that I'll end up receiving a majority of the votes tonight.

Jeff Probst: Melinda, what do you think about this?

Melinda: In a way, I can understand where she's coming from. Sometimes when I'm in the courtroom, I can have a case that looks like it's looking less and less likely in my favor, despite doing everything in my power to convince the jury otherwise. You just have to be realistic about your circumstances.

Jeff Probst: With that, it is time to vote. Kirk, you're up first.

[Kirk, Olivia, Melinda, and Audrey head to the voting podium.]

Audrey: *voting Olivia* It's either you or me.

[James, Sarah, and Grace head to the voting podium.]

Grace: *vote not shown* Sorry.

[Grace sits down.]

Jeff Probst: I'll go tally the votes.

[Close ups on Olivia, Sarah, and Sarah.]

Jeff Probst: *brings back urn* If anyone has a Hidden Immunity Idol and they would like to play it, now would be the time to do so.

Olivia: *turns to Sarah*

Sarah: *nods and takes idol out of her pocket, giving it to Olivia*

Olivia: Jeff...

Grace: *eyes widen*

Olivia: I said I would be receiving the majority of the votes tonight... but I think I've quickly realized that I don't want to go home just quite yet. *gets up and gives idol to Jeff* For me.

Jeff Probst: *grabs idol and looks at it* This is, in fact, a Hidden Immunity Idol. All votes cast against Olivia will not count. I'll read the votes.

Olivia: *smiles gleefully*

Audrey: *sighs deeply*

Jeff Probst: First vote...










Olivia, does not count.










Olivia, does not count.

Olivia: *smiling*

Jeff Probst: ...

Olivia: [close up shot]

Melinda: *surprised look*

Audrey: [under her breath] What the f**k?

Kirk: *eyes widen*

Jeff Probst: ...Fifth person voted out of Survivor: Mykonos - Revenge Island...
























Melinda. Need to bring me your torch.

Melinda: *mouth wide open* Wow...

Audrey: *trying to catch her breath* Oh my God...

Kirk: I'm so sorry, Melinda.

Olivia: *smiles and hugs Sarah*

Sarah: *smiles and hugs Olivia* You f**king pulled it off.

Melinda: *sets torch down*

Jeff Probst: Melinda, the tribe has spoken. *snuffs torch* Time for you to go.

Melinda: Yes they have... Good luck everybody! *leaves*

Audrey: [under her breath] Why wasn't it me...? How wasn't it me...?

James: *wraps arms around Audrey* Just be glad you're still here.

Grace: [close up shot]

------------------------

Melinda: *boards onto a boat* I don't think anyone saw that coming. Props to Olivia and Sarah for being able to put it off. I honestly have no hard feelings, because hey... it's a game. I got outplayed.

[Scene: A deserted island, with torches surrounding a parchment, pen, and urn.]

"Welcome to Revenge Island. Here, you may be able to get the last laugh on another castaway. On this parchment, write down a castaway's name, regardless of what tribe they're on. This vote will be read like any other vote at Tribal Council, so no one may suspect it is you. Someone may end up receiving a vote, regardless if they attend Tribal Council or not. All Revenge Votes are immune to idol plays. After you have cast your vote, you are asked to leave immediately."

Melinda: *reads and opens pen*
[Melinda is seen writing down a name, but it is unclear who. She sticks the vote into the urn, and leaves.]

[Credits roll]
