Jeff Probst: Previously on... Survivor. The two tribes merged into one. After the previous joint Tribal Council, alliances and bonds reformed. Those in the minority -- Audrey, James, Kirk, Dwight, and Zach -- tried looking for an idol after Zach found a clue at the merge feast. Audrey was able to find her second idol, in which she celebrated with James. After a conversation with Kirk, Michelle told her closest ally, Edwin, that he was being targeted by Grace. This led to a heated argument that had Grace fear that she was the next to go. Fortunately, she pulled out the first individual immunity win of the season. Back at camp, the majority alliance wanted to get Dwight out for betraying Julia, despite Julia herself feeling like she owed Grace a favor, so she went after Edwin instead. Dwight tried targeting Rafael, despite everyone else telling him Edwin was a smarter option. Fearing that they wouldn't have enough votes, Sarah reminded Audrey that he was one of the Ftelia members that tried getting her out of the game. Ultimately, Dwight was voted out, becoming the first member of the jury. 11 are left, who will be voted out tonight?

Petros: Night 20

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

Rafael: [CONF: Tribal Council was thankfully a success. Dwight went home, I only got one vote -- his, and I'm still in the majority. I think the goal right now is to ride this alliance to the end. I would love to see either Audrey, James, or Zach go next.]

Julia: Edwin, do you want to talk?

Edwin: *ignores Julia and walks away*

Julia: *scoffs* [CONF: I took the risk of voting Edwin out tonight, but it didn't quite pay off. He's still here, and probably pissed off at me. Michelle seemed to at least understand where I was coming from, but I'm worried that my alliance is going to start distrusting me after this.]

James: Seriously, Audrey? Dwight?

Audrey: *shrugs* I had some unfinished business.

James: He was a number for us!

Audrey: Okay, and he was going to come after my ass later anyways! I just made the first move.

James: *sighs* I really hope you're still with us.

Audrey: Yes! James, I wouldn't tell you that I have two idols if I didn't trust you. [CONF: James didn't exactly seem thrilled about my decision tonight. I had an opportunity, and I seized the moment. I'm just really hoping this Edwin and Grace conflict takes the target off of me.]

Grace: Thank you, Julia -- for tonight. Even though we didn't get what we wanted. *laughs*

Julia: Of course. We'll get him next time.

Grace: Are you sure about that?

Julia: Well, we have me, you, plus Audrey, James, Kirk, and Zach. And maybe even Dwight.

Grace: In case things go south... *pulls out Extra Vote advantage* I have this.

Julia: *gasps* Oh my God. That's huge!

Grace: *smiles* I know. I think you deserve to know.

Julia: [CONF: Even though Tribal didn't go exactly the way I planned out, I am ecstatic that Grace told me about her Extra Vote advantage. With my Legacy Advantage, Michelle's idol, and her Extra Vote, we are looking pretty unstoppable.]

Reward Challenge: Day 21

Jeff Probst: Come on in, guys!

[The remaining contestants walk into the challenge.]

Jeff Probst: Are you guys ready for today's reward challenge?

[Everyone yells "yes".]

Jeff Probst: For today's challenge, you will be divided into two teams. One team will choose a goalkeeper. They will stand on a platform above the water, trying to catch the opposing team's ball that is being thrown into a net. If the ball lands in the net behind them, they score a point. First team to score four points wins. Wanna know what you're playing for?

[Everyone yells "yes".]

Jeff Probst: ...A private picnic, on Dragonisi island. Worth playing for?

[Everyone yells "yes".]

Jeff Probst: Alright. Teams will be chosen based on a schoolyard pick, and we'll get started.

[At the challenge, Kirk and Julia were randomly assigned as the team captains. Kirk chose James, Julia chose Sarah, Kirk chose Zach, Julia chose Michelle, Kirk chose Grace, Julia chose Rafael, Kirk chose Audrey, and Julia chose Olivia. Edwin was not picked and did not participate. The challenge finished 4-2, with Kirk's team winning.]

Jeff Probst: Kirk, James, Zach, Grace, and Audrey win reward!

[The group celebrates and hugs each other.]

Julia: Damn.

Sarah: *pats Julia on the back* It'll be okay.

Jeff Probst: Congratulations to you five, a helicopter will take you to Dragonisi Island shortly. As for the rest of you, I've got nothing. Head back to camp.

Julia: [CONF: It really sucked losing the Reward Challenge today. I'm just hoping that I will be able to convince my alliance members that Edwin is a major liability to us.]

Day 21

[Scene: Kirk, James, Zach, Grace, and Audrey in a helicopter.]

Audrey: Oh my God!

Grace: *looks out* This place is gorgeous!

Kirk: [CONF: My team won the Reward Challenge today, and it is such a fantastic feeling. We were able to get away from the game and be able to have a private picnic at the beautiful Dragonisi Island. This also gives me a great chance to be able to talk to everyone in a group without any worry.]

[Scene: The five tribemates eating together.]

Zach: Mmm. I'm so glad we won today. Thanks for picking us, Kirk.

Kirk: Don't mention it. Um... since we're all here... I thought we should all talk about last night.

Audrey: Okay, look. I couldn't trust Dwight being with us. That's why I voted him out. I'm sorry.

Zach: So you're actually going to vote with us this time, right?

Audrey: Yes! And I think we should get Edwin out.

Zach: That's what we tried to tell you the first time...

Audrey: *eyes Zach* [CONF: Zach has been... getting under my skin. I've noticed from the short time we've spent together that he can get quite snappy with me. And... I'm so sick of it.]

[Scene: Kirk and Grace, alone together.]

Grace: Hey. I thought you should know that... Julia voted for Edwin with us last night.

Kirk: Julia? Really?

Grace: *nods* We've had a lot of good conversations together. I'm certain she will vote with us. We're solid.

Kirk: *smiles* That's great. *fist bumps Grace* [CONF: I was quite surprised to learn that Julia voted with us. I guess what happened between Edwin and Grace must've persuaded her to the other side. I mean, doesn't she remember when we all tried to vote her out? *laughs* But hey, an extra number is an extra number. I can't complain too much.]

[Scene: Audrey, alone.]

Audrey: *sobbing*

James: [under his breath] Oh no. *approaches* Hey... Audrey... what's the matter?

Audrey: *continues sobbing*

[Emotional music starts playing]

James: *goes to comfort her* [CONF: During the reward I saw Audrey was alone, sobbing. It probably had something to do with last night... so I wanted to make sure to feel comforted.] Look, I'm sorry. I completely understand why you'd want to go after Dwight. I shouldn't have been so hard on you. *hugs Audrey*

Audrey: *sniffs* Thanks.

James: *smiles* Of course.

Audrey: But... uh, that's not why I'm crying.

James: Oh. Well... if you miss your family, you're not alone. They're so proud of you.

Audrey: *smiles* Oh my gosh, James. But... once again, that's... not why I'm crying.

James: Okay. Tell me.

Audrey: It's just... *sniffs* Zach is SO annoying. *sobs in James' arms* I don't know how much longer I can deal with him. I... I can't.

[Silly music starts playing]

James: *makes a confused look to the camera while comforting Audrey* [CONF: What... the hell. I was genuinely worried Audrey was either mad at me, missing her family, or feeling alone... you know? Of course I'm going to comfort her. But... no. It's because Zach is being "annoying". I mean, I did the best I could. It was just a really confusing, emotional moment for the both of us. Maybe she'll have her head cleared up after this is all over.]

[Scene: Zach, alone at the picnic.]

Zach: *looks around him* [CONF: While we were at the reward today, I just realized that pretty much everyone ditched me. I... must be a slow eater. *laughs* I was trying to find everyone else so that we could enjoy these beautiful waters, but I guess everyone just went off and did their own thing.] *swimming through the water* [I was alone, but I didn't care. It took my mind off of the game, and made me appreciate the fact I'm here in the magnificent Mykonos. I don't know if I'll ever be able to be here again.]

[Scene: Audrey, James, Kirk, and Grace approaching each other.]

Kirk: Hey, has anyone seen Zach?

Grace: Oh my God, did we forget about him?

Audrey: *chuckles to herself*

James: *looks around* That's weird.

Zach: *swimming from a long distance, but no one can see him*

James: *keeps looking around* Huh. I don't see him anywhere....

Audrey: *shrugs*

Petros: Day 21

[Scene: Julia, Sarah, Michelle, Rafael, Olivia, and Edwin near the shelter.]

Olivia: [CONF: We lost today, but Sarah and I have just become numb to that feeling. Fortunately, I foresee us winning to some degree in the future, so I guess today was just a fluke. I have to keep positive.]

Edwin: *trying to make a fire*

Michelle: Are you sure you don't need any help, Ed?

Edwin: No. I can do this.

[2 hours pass, with no progress yet from Edwin.]

Edwin: Damn.

Rafael: [CONF: This is incredibly frustrating. We are trying to get a fire going, but Edwin is being incredibly stubborn and trying to do it himself. Would it kill him to ask for help?]

Olivia: A storm's a-coming.

[Thunder roars.]

Sarah: I thought you said you weren't a meteorologist.

Olivia: *laughs*

Edwin: *gets a flame going* Yes!

[Rain downpours, causing the fire to go out.]

Edwin: S**t. [CONF: I really wanted to prove to these people that I'm good at least something. I would've actually had a fire if it wasn't for that stupid rain. I guess it was just really bad luck.]

[Scene: Julia, Sarah, Michelle, Rafael, Olivia, and Edwin, shivering in the shelter as the storm continues.]

Sarah: Thank God we're over here where there's blankets. *grabs a blanket from the shelter*

Rafael: Oh my God, how did you guys get through the first storm?

Olivia: Barely.

Michelle: Wait, did anyone remember to check on the chickens?

Julia: Uh... no.

[The two hens and rooster start running in front of the shelter.]

Michelle: *gasps and gets out of the shelter* [CONF: It's pouring rain right now, and the six of us are all crammed up together in the shelter. When we're in there, I realize... the chickens never got checked on today. One of us, usually me, gets an egg from the basket to cook over the fire -- but since Edwin decided he wanted to get the fire started himself today, I never thought about it. When it was too late, I realized that their gate may or may not have closed all the way from the night before. Then I saw all three of them running in the rain... and I was like "s**t".] *chases after the chickens* A little help here!

[Rafael and Julia run out and get out of the shelter.]

Sarah: Go get 'em!

Michelle: *grabs a hen* Gotcha!

Rafael: *eventually grabs the other hen*

Julia: *eventually grabs the rooster*

[Michelle, Rafael, and Julia head back to the shelter with the chickens.]

Olivia: *claps* Great work, guys!

Edwin: *scoots away and tries to nap*

Rafael: [CONF: Julia, Michelle, and I went on a wild goose -- or should I say, chicken chase in the middle of the rainstorm. *laughs* It was a pretty quick decision, since I wasn't going to let them run away. We all did a good job getting them all back, even though it took a while.]

Sarah: Hey, Julia, do you need me to hold the chicken?

Julia: [as the chicken tries to run away from her in the grasp of her hands] I'm fine. [rooster crows loudly]

Edwin: *snoring loudly*

Olivia: *puts hands on head* Oh. My. God.

Sarah: [CONF: Us six being trapped in this shelter together has been... chaotic to say the least. We got a rainstorm, on top of chickens going loose, and now Edwin is somehow able to snore through this. Why did I have to get caught up in this?]

[Scene: Kirk, James, Zach, Grace, and Audrey arriving back to camp, after the storm cleared. Julia, Sarah, Michelle, Rafael, and Olivia approach everyone.]

Julia: Welcome back, everyone!

Kirk: Hey, how was it over here?

Olivia: You don't wanna know.

Rafael: At least the storm finally cleared up.

Audrey: Storm? We didn't have anything like that.

Julia: Oh... You're lucky.

James: Where's Edwin?

Michelle: I think he's still sleeping, somehow.

Edwin: *snoring from a distance*

[Scene: Grace and Julia, in the woods.]

Julia: [CONF: So... the storm's cleared out, all the chickens are back where they belong, I'm not stuck in the shelter with Edwin anymore, and I can finally vent to Grace. However, I'm really hoping these unforeseen circumstances made everyone else learn that Edwin isn't... exactly pleasant to be around.]

Grace: I'm so sorry that you had to go through all that.

Julia: Oh my God, it was pure hell. It felt like I was waiting for an eternity for that rain to stop.

Sarah: *approaches Grace and Julia* Hey.

Julia: Hey Sarah. I just... needed to get my feelings out to someone about what happened earlier today.

Sarah: I'm so glad that's over. I would've killed to go on Reward today.

Grace: Enough to consider taking out Edwin?

Sarah: Well... [CONF: Being cooped up in the shelter for several hours was pretty miserable. And while everyone was on reward, the rest of us girls and Rafael were stuck with Edwin. It was not fun at all. But is this a valid reason to vote him out? I don't know, but if it gets Grace and Julia back with us, it might be worth it.]

[Scene: Audrey and Sarah, near the tide.]

Audrey: *laughs* I probably shouldn't even be talking to you right now.

Sarah: Oh, come on Audrey. You can always talk to me.

Audrey: *sighs* Okay, I'm proposing a plan that could really shake things up.

Sarah: And what would that be?

Audrey: Getting out Zach.

Sarah: *confused* Zach? Huh.

Audrey: Yeah, I think he's a huge threat, and I can't trust him at all. James is being stubborn, but I think we could really pull this off.

Sarah: *nodding along*

Audrey: [CONF: I really hope Sarah listened to what I had to say about my plan to get Zach out. I refuse to be a sitting duck with James and Kirk, so I have to ensure that I'm not going anywhere. Out of all the other Ftelia members, Sarah is the one I trust the most. At least she tried to help me get out Mario.]

[Scene: Sarah and Julia, in the shelter.]

Sarah: Audrey just told me she wants Zach out.

Julia: *laughs* What? *continues to laugh*

Sarah: I'm dead serious. It was so weird because like... why is she throwing her own ally under the bus?

Julia: I guess they're not as close as I thought.

Sarah: If anything, you would think she'd want us to vote Edwin, especially after today.

Julia: Yeah, I know. Unless keeping Edwin around benefits them somehow... [CONF: Audrey going after Zach definitely shows that their alliance cannot keep it together. But, hey, who am I to say this after voting out Edwin last night? *laughs* I'll just have to see what everyone else thinks about this.]

[Scene: Julia, Olivia, Rafael, and Grace, on the other side of the beach.]

Julia: So... apparently, Audrey is proposing a plan to get Zach out.

Olivia: Wait, Audrey... said that?

Julia: According to Sarah. Quite strange.

Rafael: I mean, it's definitely something to think about.

Grace: Do we trust Audrey's word?

Julia: You should've seen her at Ftelia. When she said she wanted Mario out, she meant it.

Grace: [CONF: I never really thought about the possibility of getting rid of Zach. I've been so fixated on Edwin, that I forgot to sit and think about going after somebody else. Edwin has made it his goal to get me out, while Zach and I have continued to butt heads. It's like I'm picking to vote between the greater of two evils.]

[Scene: Grace and Kirk, in the woods.]

Grace: Audrey wants Zach out.

Kirk: Really?

Grace: *nods* I mean, I've been thinking about it all day. Zach would go after me in a heartbeat, and you know it.

Kirk: Oh, absolutely. I'm definitely considering it. [CONF: *laughs* Grace -- thank you. Thank you for giving away more information to me that will cause everyone else to target one another, and cause massive chaos. This is exactly what I need right now.]

[Scene: Kirk and Zach, in another part of the woods.]

Kirk: Zach, you have to watch out.

Zach: Why?

Kirk: Audrey's coming after you. Grace just told me.

Zach: *rolls eyes* Oh, for f**ks sake. [CONF: This is a nightmare. Audrey, what kind of tricks are you trying to pull here? If she's going to go behind my back, I'm going to have to make the first move. Audrey, you've just moved up to #1 on my hitlist.] We have to get her out next.

Kirk: Absolutely. [CONF: I'm telling everyone what they want to hear. I've gotten Michelle to want to get out Grace, and now Zach to get out Audrey. If I can just get everyone to go after each other so that they can all forget about me, then I should be setting myself quite well for the end of this game.]

Immunity Challenge: Day 22

Jeff Probst: Come on in, guys!

[The remaining contestants walk into the challenge.]

Jeff Probst: Are you guys ready for today's immunity challenge?

[Everyone yells "yes".]

Jeff Probst: But first... Grace, I gotta take it back. *approaches Grace*

Grace: Aw, Jeff. *laughs*

Jeff Probst: *takes off necklace and brings it back* Once again, immunity is back up for grabs. For today's challenge, you will all be hanging onto a pole for as long as possible, where you will only be supported by footholds. As the challenge progresses, fatigue will start to set in. Once you touch the ground, you are out the challenge. Last person standing, wins immunity -- having a 1 and 10 chance of winning this game. The rest of you will be vulnerable at Tribal Council, where someone will be the eighth person voted out, and become the second member of our jury. We will draw for spots, and we'll get started.

[Scene: Everyone hanging onto a pole.]

Jeff Probst: This challenge is now on.

Edwin: *slips*

Jeff Probst: Edwin, struggling early.

Grace: *chuckles*

[1 minute elapses.]

Edwin: *slowly slips to the ground*

Jeff Probst: Edwin is the first one out of the challenge, once again.

[5 minutes elapse.]

Grace: *falls down*

Jeff Probst: Grace is out of the challenge now. No shot at immunity.

Julia: *slips and falls* Oh my God!

Jeff Probst: Julia with a HARD fall! Are you okay?

Julia: *groans and gets up* Yeah.

[10 minutes elapse.]

Jeff Probst: We have now reached the 10 minute mark.

Grace: Good job, guys.

Sarah: *slowly goes down the pole and jumps*

Jeff Probst: And just like that, Sarah is out of this challenge.

Julia: *claps*

[17 minutes elapse.]

James: *slides to the bottom* Damn.

Jeff Probst: James is now out.

Rafael: *slides to the bottom*

Jeff Probst: Rafael is out too. We're down to five -- Audrey, Kirk, Michelle, Olivia, and Zach.

Rafael: You're doing amazing up there, Olivia!

Olivia: *smiles*

[30 minutes elapse.]

Jeff Probst: Been up there for thirty minutes now. Olivia is starting to show signs of struggle, but is continuing to fight through this challenge.

Rafael: Come on, Olivia!

Olivia: *heavy breathing*

Michelle: Aah! *delicately falls*

Jeff Probst: Michelle is now out.

Kirk: *falls*

Jeff Probst: Kirk now has no chance at immunity. Audrey, Olivia, and Zach are left.

[50 minutes elapse.]

Jeff Probst: Fifty minutes now. Audrey and Zach have been rock solid, whereas Olivia has shown signs struggles, but is still fighting through the pain.

Zach: *starts to shake*

Jeff Probst: Zach, feeling the pain now.

Zach: *falls* F**k.

Jeff Probst: And just like that, Zach is now out. We are down to two women -- Audrey and Olivia.

Olivia: *continues to shake her feet*

Audrey: *steadily holding on*

[1 hour and 20 minutes elapse.]

Jeff Probst: One hour and twenty minutes now.

Olivia: *continues to breathe in and out heavily*

Audrey: Olivia, I could be up here all day. I promise, you're not going anywhere. Just... please.

Olivia: *sighs* Okay. Let me just keep going for as long as possible.

Audrey: *nods*

[1 hour and 40 minutes elapse.]

Jeff Probst: It has now been one hour and forty minutes.

James: You guys are killing it!

Olivia: *looks at Audrey* I'm going to drop -- my feet are going to give out. *lands off of the pole*

Jeff Probst: And just like that, Olivia steps down.. which means Audrey, wins immunity!

Audrey: *screams with excitement* Yes! *comes down from the pole*

Rafael: Hey, Olivia. You did your absolute best. You were a f**king champion up there.

Olivia: *hugs Rafael* Thank you. *sniffs*

[Scene: The remaining contestants lined in a row.]

Jeff Probst: Audrey, come on over.

Audrey: *walks over to Jeff with a bright smile on her face*

[Everyone claps.]

Jeff Probst: *puts necklace on Audrey* Guaranteed safe tonight, with a 1 and 10 chance of winning this game. You will have the afternoon to decide who the next person voted out of this game will be. Don't let it be you. Head back to camp, and I'll see you all at Tribal Council.

Zach: [CONF: So, of course, Audrey won immunity today. However, I am not going to allow her to get away with trying to get me out. Oh, no she won't. Now is the time to scramble.]

Petros: Day 22

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

Audrey: [CONF: It feels great to have immunity right now. I was trying so hard to make sure Zach wouldn't win today, and now that he's vulnerable, it's finally time to set my plan into motion.]

Rafael: Olivia, you should be so proud of yourself right now.

Olivia: I know, I know. I... just really wanted to win today. [CONF: Wow. Today's immunity challenge was just... so close. I sensed that I would at least be able to do well today, but to be that close? *sighs* I just have to keep picking myself up. Thankfully, Rafael has been really great in trying to cheer me up, but it still hurts, you know?]

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

James: *hugs Audrey* You killed it out there today!

Audrey: *smiles and hugs James* Thank you! Who are you thinking about doing tonight?

James: I think she should stick with getting Edwin out. You know, finish what we've already started.

Audrey: *rolls eyes* Edwin leaving is not a smart move for us.

James: Look, you may not be able to see it, but Zach is a great guy.

Audrey: He is going to f**k us over. James, please...

James: [CONF: Audrey is still adamant to try and get Zach out. Although things kind of started rough between us, I do think I can still trust the guy. We just need to make sure Edwin goes tonight, because he benefits absolutely no one right now.]

[Scene: Grace and Julia, walking together alongside the beach.]

Julia: So, what are we going to do?

Grace: You see, that's the problem. I don't know. [CONF: After today's challenge, I have learned that Edwin continues to suck, and that Zach could have a win or two in him in the future, which honestly scares me. Edwin will do... whatever it takes to get me out tonight. F**k that. But if Zach is going to do the same thing, and Zach is a bigger threat, then I might need to get him out first.]

Julia: Okay, let's think about this. If we get out Zach, there's still no chance in hell Edwin is going to work with us.

Grace: *laughs* You got that right.

Julia: But if we get out Edwin, it'll make things a hell of a lot easier for me, you, Sarah, Olivia, Rafael, Michelle, and Kirk.

Grace: Yeah. He is just... absolutely unbearable to be around.

Julia: *laughs* I'm gonna head back to camp.

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

Edwin: [CONF: I got votes at the last Tribal, so I'm expecting some more coming my way tonight. However, Grace doesn't have immunity now, so I'm going to make sure she gets her karma for trying to get me out.] So, are we good with Grace?

Michelle: Absolutely.

Julia: *crouching behind the shelter, eavesdropping on their conversation*

Edwin: I would love absolutely love to see her go tonight. Let's give her a taste of her own medicine.

Zach: *approaches* I couldn't help but overhear. *smiles*

Michelle: *grunts* What do you want, Zach?

Zach: It seems we have a common enemy.

Michelle: Oh, you mean... Grace?

Zach: *nods* I mean... since Audrey has immunity tonight, I figure this would be the next best option. What do you say?

Michelle: And why should we believe you?

Zach: *sighs* Come on, Michelle. I know we haven't exactly been the greatest friends, but Grace has caused nothing but trouble for everyone here, and you know it. She has no true allegiance to anyone. Let's get her out while we still can.

Edwin: And after her, we go after Julia.

Zach: I like the way you think. *shakes Edwin's hand*

Michelle: *sits in awkward silence*

Julia: *quietly walks away* [CONF: Oh no. This isn't good... at all. I just knew they'd go after Grace next, but when I heard my name out of Edwin's mouth too, I knew in that moment that I had to write his name down.]

[Scene: Grace and Julia, near the tide.]

Julia: So, uh, bad news. Zach, Michelle, and Edwin want to vote you out tonight.

Grace: *rolls eyes* Of course.

Julia: ...And Edwin wants to get rid of me next.

Grace: *sighs* Great. Just great.

Julia: We have to vote for Edwin.

Grace: [CONF: So... just as I anticipated, Edwin wants to get rid of me tonight, since I don't have the necklace. However, I really don't appreciate how he's dragging Julia into all of this. I really need to think about my decision, and whether or not voting Edwin or Zach is the better option.]

[Scene: Rafael, Olivia, and Sarah near the shelter.]

Zach: *approaches* Hey there. This might be a long shot, but do you guys have reason to trust Grace right now?

Rafael: What are you talking about?

Zach: *sighs* Look. You might think she's with you right now, but she has her own agenda. She will stab you guys in the back just like she did to me.

Olivia: I mean, she did write my name down...

Zach: You see what I'm saying?

Grace: *approaches* Hey. *looks at Zach* Zach.

Zach: Grace.

Grace: You trying to get me out or something?

Zach: *laughs* Come on now.

Grace: Don't play dumb with me. I know Edwin put you up to this.

Edwin: *approaches* Did you say something?

Grace: Yes, I did, actually! Are you still trying to get me out?

Edwin: I don't know, what about yourself?

Grace: Well, as of right now, I honestly don't know.

Audrey: *approaches with James* What the hell is going on?

Zach: Oh, Audrey. *laughs* [sarcastically] So good to see you.

Audrey: *confused face*

Zach: Oh, please. I know you're trying to get me out.

Audrey: What are you talking about?

Zach: *laughs* Stop deflecting. Own up to it.

Audrey: You know what, fine! I don't trust you! Are you happy now?

Zach: There it is! Well, just so you know -- you're next after Grace. Mark my f**king words.

James: [whispers to Audrey] Let's get out of here. *leaves with Audrey* [CONF: So, just as Audrey and I were coming back from the woods, all of a sudden we see Zach, Edwin, and Grace arguing with each other. But when he started throwing Audrey's name under the bus, I was not happy. My instincts are telling me that Audrey was right... and we need to get him out.]

Zach: Unbelievable.

Grace: I can't deal with this any longer. *walks away*

Edwin: Walk away!

Michelle: *approaches* [CONF: What the hell did I just walk into? This is getting to be absolutely ridiculous, and I'm not sure how much longer I can deal with all... this.] Edwin, come on... *leaves with Edwin*

Edwin: [CONF: Grace just proved to everyone that she has done nothing but become a nuisance to everyone here. It's not just with me, it's with Zach too. It's quite sad, actually. I really hope we can finally send her packing tonight.]

Zach: My work here is done. *leaves*

Rafael: Wow...

Olivia: I couldn't believe how immature Edwin was acting up there.

Sarah: Enough to vote him out?

Olivia: *chops coconut* Just might be.

Rafael: I have no idea what the hell I'm going to.

Sarah: Same. [CONF: So... *laughs* Rafael, Olivia, and I were just trying to chop some coconuts, and all of sudden here comes Zach, then Grace, then Edwin, then Audrey... and it just escalated into a huge mess. We've been proposed three options: Zach, Edwin, and Grace. So... once again, I have a big decision to make. I either have all the power or none at all. There is no inbetween. *laughs*]

Kirk: *walks in* What happened?

Olivia: You don't want to know.

[Scene: Grace and Julia, in the woods.]

Grace: Julia, oh my f**king God.

Julia: What is it?

Grace: Oh, it's a disaster. Zach and Edwin are coming for me hard.

Julia: Let's just hope that Michelle doesn't use her idol on Edwin...

Grace: Oh, s**t.

Julia: Hey, we'll get through this. Let's just... split it, just in case.

Grace: Okay, okay. I'll think about using my Extra Vote -- only if I need to. [CONF: I am absolutely terrified going into Tribal Council tonight. My name has been thrown by not only Edwin, but Zach as well. Now, we have Michelle's idol to worry about... and it's just... *sighs* I'm definitely considering using my Extra Vote tonight, just in case an idol gets played, but I want to make sure it gets used at the right time. I-- I just don't know what the hell is going to happen.]

Petros Tribal Council: Night 22

Jeff Probst: We'll bring in the first member of our jury -- Dwight, who was voted out at the last Tribal Council.

Dwight: *walks in, smiles, waves, and sits*

Jeff Probst: *sits down* Alright. Let's talk about the immunity challenge today. Olivia, you were struggling up there, but you still managed to hold on for an hour and forty minutes. How are you feeling now?

Olivia: I might not have won today, Jeff, but I think I have another one coming. *laughs* Audrey was amazing, too. I will give her that.

Jeff Probst: Audrey, do you think you needed immunity tonight?

Audrey: 100%. Zach literally told me to my face that "you're next after Grace", so if I didn't have this necklace on, I'd have a pretty good chance of going home.

Jeff Probst: Zach, what do you have to say about this?

Zach: Well, after being told that Audrey was coming after me, I wanted to make sure it was true.

Audrey: Okay, but you really didn't need to put me on the spot like that.

Zach: But, hey, I got the answer I was looking for.

Audrey: *rolls eyes*

Jeff Probst: Grace, Audrey mentioned that she'd next be next after you. Does this concern you?

Grace: It is definitely concerning, Jeff. But... considering the fact that Zach and Edwin have been trying their damndest to get me out, it's not surprising.

Jeff Probst: Edwin, is this still true?

Edwin: Yeah, I've made it known to everyone here that Grace shouldn't be trusted around here, especially when she tried to go behind my back.

Jeff Probst: Grace, any thoughts on this?

Grace: To be honest, Jeff, my vote has been up in the air all day. It's like he's expecting me to vote for him tonight.

Rafael: *nods*

Jeff Probst: Rafael, you're nodding to that.

Rafael: *laughs* Yeah. I have been questioning myself on what to do today.

Jeff Probst: Does anyone else agree with Rafael?

Sarah: *raises hand*

Jeff Probst: Why is that, Sarah?

Sarah: After the... uh, incident, today... I've had some time to contemplate on what I'm going to do tonight.

Jeff Probst: Julia, do you know anything about this "incident" that Sarah is talking about?

Julia: It sounds like I missed out on it, but from what I've heard, I'm glad I wasn't a part of it. *laughs*

Jeff Probst: James, what about you?

James: Audrey and I were in the wrong place at the wrong time. I wanted to get out of there as soon as possible.

Michelle: [whispers to Julia] I'm getting worried about Edwin.

Julia: [whispers to Michelle] It's Zach.

Michelle: [whispers to Julia] No idol?

Julia: *shakes head*

Rafael: [whispers to Sarah] What are we doing?

Sarah: *whispers in Rafael's ear*

Grace: [whispers to Julia] Should I?

Julia: *whispers in Grace's ear*

Jeff Probst: Audrey, what do you make of all this whispering?

Audrey: This is just nuts, Jeff. I'm so glad that I know that I'll still be here for another few days.

Jeff Probst: Are we all good to vote?

Grace: *chuckles* About that.

Edwin: S**t.

Grace: *digs through bag* I... have decided that I will be playing my Extra Vote tonight. I gotta keep myself safe.

Jeff Probst: Grace is playing her Extra Vote, which means -- Grace, you will be voting twice tonight. Is everyone good now?

[Everyone either says "yeah" or nods their head.]

Jeff Probst: Alright, it is time to vote. Michelle, you're up first.

[Michelle, Olivia, Zach, Julia, James, and Edwin head to the voting podium.]

Edwin: *voting Grace* It is your time to leave. Goodbye.

[Grace, Audrey, Kirk, Sarah and Rafael head to the voting podium.]

Rafael: *vote not shown* Let me just say... this has been absolutely nuts.

[Rafael sits down.]

Jeff Probst: I'll go tally the votes.

[Close ups on Edwin, Zach, and Grace.]

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.

Edwin: *looks at Michelle*

Julia: *nods at Michelle*

Michelle: *heavily exhales*

Zach: [close up shot]

Michelle: *looks at Jeff*

Audrey: [whispers to Grace] Next time.

Grace: *nods, smiles, and fist bumps Audrey*

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

Edwin: *boards onto a boat* I don't regret the game I played. I was outspoken, and some people just took it the wrong way. I tried getting Grace out, and I didn't succeed. I really hope Michelle and Zach can work something out together.

[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. This vote will be read like any other vote at Tribal Council, so no one may suspect it is you. All Revenge Votes are immune to idol plays and those who win individual immunity. After you have cast your vote, you are asked to leave immediately."

Edwin: *reads and opens pen*

[Edwin is seen writing down a name, but it is unclear who. He sticks the vote into the urn, and leaves.]

[Credits roll]
