Episode 2 Recap
Previously on Survivor, after winning both immunity challenges, Solana kept their full strength, but their internal politics continued to brew. Marta continued to rally the tribe against Zac, while Zac's secret possession of the hidden immunity idol kept him safe. In Luzon, Priscilla and Siying felt that they are at the bottom of the totem pole and worked to keep themselves within a majority alliance, while Elaine worked hard to find the hidden immunity idol. At the immunity challenge, Isabel and Giselle performed terribly, allowing Luzon and Solana to pull ahead and win immunity. Back at camp, the tribe were thinking between the 2 of them. However, Giselle got confident and taunted Isabel about the vote, tipping Isabel over the tipping point and pouring away almost all their rice. In the end, the rest of the tribe decided that they could not live another day with a mad woman, and sent Isabel home with an unanimous 4 votes, making her the third person voted out of Survivor: Cagayan.
15 are left, who will be voted out tonight?
Night 8
Aparri Camp
Yuyan (confessionals): I am glad we got rid of that crazy bitch. I hope that our tribe can function much better without her hinderance.
Jack (confessionals): I don't understand why these girls are so difficult to deal with. If we lost again, I definitely want Giselle out.
Jack: I'm glad that was over.
Yuyan: I really don't know why did you do that Giselle. Just blindside her, at least we still have our rice.
Giselle: Oh so that's a bad move by me? You are not the boss of me, you don't dictate what I do.
Erwitt: Calm down girls. Chill out.
Giselle (confessionals): Urgh, I can't stand Yuyan anymore. Can't wait to get her out of here.
Erwitt (confessionals): These girls HAVE to start learning to work with each other.
Day 9
Yixuan: Come on in guys!
*Solana, Luzon and Aparri walking in*
Yixuan: Solana and Luzon taking a first look at the new Aparri tribe, Isabel voted out the last tribal council.
Yixuan: Guys ready to get to your first reward challenge?
Castaways: Yeah.
REWARD CHALLENGE: HAULIN' OATS
For today's challenge, one person from each tribe will climb to the top of a tower and act as a caller. Three other tribe members will be blindfolded. The caller will have to verbally direct two of the blindfolded members to retrieve five items. Each time you get an item, you have to bring it back and hoist it up to the caller. After the five items are retrieved, the caller will send two blindfolded members out to retrieve the last item, which is their tribe flag. The first two tribes to get their flag up to the caller wins reward.
Yixuan: Want to know what you are playing for?
*reveals reward*
Yixuan: The first tribe to finish wins for themselves, three egg-laying hens and a rooster. The second tribe to finish wins a dozen eggs. The last tribe, nothing.
Yixuan: Solana, you have 2 extra members, who are you sitting out?
Kandace: Marta and Steven.
Yixuan: Luzon, you have 1 extra member, who are you sitting out.
Siying: I am.
Yixuan: Marta, Steven and Siying, take a spot at the sit-out bench. The rest of you, give you a few minutes to strategize and we will begin.
Yixuan: For Luzon, Joshua is calling, Priscilla, Elaine and Martin blindfolded. For Aparri, Jack is calling, Giselle, Erwitt and Yuyan blindfolded. For Solana, Antranig is calling, Kandace, Shaniqua and Zac blindfolded. Survivors ready, GO!
Yixuan: All the blindfolded people are running around like headless chicken, and the callers are trying to fight each other to be louder. Luzon off to a quick start! Priscilla and Elaine finding their first item and bringing it back. Solana right behind. Aparri having trouble right from the start!
Yixuan: Priscilla and Elaine making quick work of the task. Zac keeps knocking into barrels, slowing Solanad down. Giselle does not have enough strength to move that item! Jack trying to navigate Erwitt to help. Luzon is breezing through the course, both Priscilla and Elaine bringing one item back each, giving them a lead at 3 items. Kandace placed Solana's second item on the platform. Aparri is not working well together, still stuck with 1 item.
Yixuan: Martin hoisting up Luzon's item swiftly. Shaniqua trying to hoist Solana's second item but it keeps falling off, opening a window for Yuyan to catch up. Elaine and Priscilla working well bringing back the heaviest item. Zac and Giselle bumping into every obstacle in the course. Aparri and Solana and neck-in-neck for last. Luzon hoisting their fourth item, Solana and Aparri still at their third.
Yixuan: Zac and Kandace working together to bring back the heaviest item. Giselle and Erwitt went back to work on the heaviest item. It requires 2 people to move it because it is very bulky. Priscilla coming back with Luzon's final item! Can anyone beat Luzon? Elaine moving out to retrieve Luzon's flag. At the same time, Solana and Aparri raising their third item.
Yixuan: Zac and Kandace with a slight lead over Giselle and Erwitt getting their last 2 items. Martin having trouble to hoist the flag. It's long and requires to be nicely on the platform to be hoisted. Solana retrieved all 5 items, they are now going for the flag! Aparri right behind them! Martin is losing a lot of time for Luzon!
Yixuan: Erwitt getting Aparri's flag first, with Kandace right behind with Solana's flag. Martin trying again to hoist Luzon's flag. And Joshua grabs it! LUZON WINS REWARD, THREE EGG-LAYING HENS AND A ROOSTER!
Yixuan: Solana trying to find a window to overtake Aparri. It's a very tight race to the end. Both of them start hoisting but both flags dropped out. There's a learning curve to this. Once you get it, you will get it. Yuyan hoisting Aparri's flag slightly faster than Shaniqua. Both flags reaching the top. Both callers desperately reaching for their flag. One of them reaches first! SOLANA WINS REWARD, A DOZEN EGGS!
Yixuan: Congratulations to Luzon and Solana for winning the reward. Unfortunately, Aparri, I've got nothing for you. Grab your stuff and head back to camp.
*Luzon, Solana and Aparri walk out*
Luzon Camp
Elaine (confessionals): I am hoping to find another clue in the cage, without Joshua noticing. He is trying to micromanage everything and it's pissing the hell out of me.
Siying (confessionals): I am so excited that we won! Looks like we don't have to worry about food for awhile!
Joshua: Guys, I think we should kill a chicken and let the other 2 lay eggs. We need protein and it is going to be beneficial during the immunity challenge!
Martin: Yeah, I agree. Let's pamper ourselves before the challenge!
Elaine: Hmm, I wonder which one is the rooster?
Martin: Haha, don't be silly, it's the one that looks different!
Elaine: Is it? *reaches hand into cage to poke rooster*
Elaine (confessionals): I wanted to try to see if there are any hidden notes in the cage, so I acted blur and put my hand into it. Sure enough, I noticed a small parchment taped at the corner of the cage covered by hay. So I quickly slipped it into my pocket without anyone seeing.
Elaine: I am going to find this idol and keep it for myself because I can't stand Joshua and his ego. *opens note*
Find the place where water is falling
Deep within the forest of trees
To find it requires some thinking
Protection is what you'll be needing
Tied to something solid
Is the idol you want to get
Very hidden, but not too deep
And requires that you get wet
Elaine: This is definitely pointing towards the waterfall. Maybe I can spend some time tomorrow to find it.
Day 10
Solana Camp
Zac (confessionals): This morning, I wanted to surprise the tribe by frying some eggs for them. But I suddenly thought of how they treated me, so I decided to just do it for myself.
Marta: WHY ARE YOU EATING OUR EGGS?
Zac: IT'S MINE TOO. WE WON A DOZEN, SO I AM ENTITLED TWO.
Marta: BUT IT'S SUPPOSED TO BE FOR THE TRIBE, NOT JUST YOU.
Zac: WHAT'S THE DIFFERENCE?
Marta: YOU STUPID IDIOT. GET OUT OF MY FACE.
Steven (confessionals): So this morning, Zac and Marta got into yet another huge argument. At this rate, I might want to go to tribal just to end this nonsense.
Antranig (confessionals): I love it every time when a fight breaks out. Because it just makes the target on my back smaller.
Marta (confessionals): I want to throw the immunity challenge to get him out.
Shaniqua (confessionals): They need to learn when to shut their traps when the diva is sleeping.
Shaniqua: CAN THE TWO OF YOU JUST SHUT THE HELL UP? I AM TRYING TO SLEEP!
*silence*
Shaniqua: That's better.
Zac (confessionals): I hate the two of them. They think they rule the tribe, but guess again, my idol rules the tribe.
Aparri Camp
Jack (confessionals): I can't stand this tribe. We just keep losing and losing. At this rate, we are going to be pagonged.
Yuyan (confessionals): I am so hungry. After Isabel emptied our rice, we are like surviving on scraps. And we haven't won a challenge in like 6 days.
Erwitt (confessionals): I feel like I have the duty to keep the tribe morale high being the oldest out here. But everyone is just spent and out of energy.
Giselle: I am so hungry I can eat one of you up right now.
Erwitt: We need to stay positive! Tomorrow's immunity challenge is really important, if not we are realy going to be down in numbers.
Jack: If we lose again, I swear I will lose my mind.
Yuyan: Let's just pray for a challenge the others suck at.
Luzon Camp
Elaine (confessionals): I woke up early today to head out to the waterfall. And guess who I found there...
Siying: Hey Elaine, you are early!
Elaine: Hey, I didn't know you are here.
Siying: Yeah, I like to hear the crashing sounds of the falls. It clears my mind.
Siying (confessionals): So I was searching for the idol, when suddenly Elaine popped by. It's been 10 days and I still can't find this damn idol. I might share my clue with Elaine.
Elaine (confessionals): I am not too keen to share my clue with Siying, but having one more ally is definitely better than another enemy. So I decided to share my idol clue with her, hoping to find the idol.
Elaine: Okay, the thing is this, I have a clue to the idol, and it says it's around here.
Siying: Oh you found a clue too? I have a clue too! And that's why I've been spending so much time here. But I still couldn't find it.
Elaine: What? Okay let's stop wasting time and start searching.
*both starts overturning rocks underwater*
Elaine: It should be somewhere here.
Siying: I have been overturning rocks for like forever, and if it suddenly comes up here, I might feel like the stupidest person on Earth
*something floats up*
Siying: Okay, I am the stupidest person on Earth. BUT WE FOUND IT!
Siying (confessionals): Oh my god. Why did the idol only appear in front of Elaine? Now I have no choice but to share it with her.
Elaine (confessionals): When Siying uncovered the idol, my heart sank. Now I am thinking if I should work with her, or just blindside her and solve my problems.
Elaine: Let's work together!
Siying: Yeah, we can totally use this at the merge to do some major damage!
Elaine: I like the sound of that!
Siying: We are going to dominate this game!
Day 11
Yixuan: Come on in guys!
*Luzon, Solana and Aparri walking in*
Yixuan: First things first, I will take back the idols.
*takes idols back from Marta and Priscilla*
Yixuan: Ready to get to today's challenge?
Castaways: Yeah!
IMMUNITY CHALLENGE: OCTOPUS' GARDEN
For today's challenge, one tribe member at a time will dive down and release a buoy and bring it back to a basket. Once you have collected all five buoys, another team member will throw the 5 buoys into their basket. At the same time, two members will be in the water collecting "missed" shots. You may only shoot when you have all unscored buoys in your basket.
Yixuan: First two tribes to successfully get all five buoys in the basket win immunity. Losers will go to Tribal Council where by the fourth person will be voted out.
Yixuan: Solana, you have 2 extra members, who are you sitting out? You cannot sit out Marta and Steven.
Kandace: Shaniqua and I will sit out.
Yixuan: Luzon, you have 1 extra member, who are you sitting out? You cannot sit out Siying.
Priscilla: I will.
Yixuan: Shaniqua, Kandace and Priscilla, grab a spot on the sit-out bench. Rest of you get into positions.
Yixuan: For immunity, survivors ready? GO! Antranig, Jack and Martin heading in first to the first buoy. All 3 of them neck in neck, coming back swiftly with the first buoy. Jack comes back slightly quicker and Yuyan heads out. Antranig seconds behind, and Zac enters the water. Joshua also in the water within seconds. They are now heading to the second buoy. Yuyan is back. Joshua is back, Zac having a little difficulty diving down. Luzon sending out Siying for the third buoy and Aparri sending out Erwitt. Zac just coming back with the second buoy. Marta heading in, hoping to make up for lost time. Siying is struggling, opening the chance for Aparri to overtake! Erwitt comes up quickly and tags Jack back in for the fourth buoy. Siying unclipped the third buoy seconds before Marta!
Yixuan: Jack managed to unclip Aparri's fourth buoy and is coming back too. Elaine and Steven going out for Luzon's and Solana's fourth buoy. Erwitt going out again for Aparri's fifth buoy. He has to go really deep this time round. Elaine couldn't reach the buoy, it's too deep for her. She's coming back empty-handed, losing a lot of time for Luzon! Martin going out on her behalf! Steven barely made it with Solana's fourth buoy. He returns the buoy and heads out again! Erwitt is up with Aparri's final buoy, APARRI CAN START SHOOTING!
Yixuan: For Aparri, Erwitt and Jack are shooting, Giselle and Yuyan collecting the balls. Steven resurfaces with Solana's last buoy the same time as Joshua with Luzon's fourth buoy. Luzon still has one more buoy, Martin heading out again. Jack and Erwitt wasting no time and started to shoot at the hoop. Erwitt got one in! Steven comes back with the buoys, SOLANA CAN START SHOOTING!
Yixuan: Zac and Marta in the water collecting buoys, Antranig shooting, Steven still recovering from doing multiple laps. Martin trying to reach for the last buoy! Jack scores the second point for Aparri! Antranig's balls are flying everywhere. Zac and Marta having a hard time collecting them. Martin returns with Luzon's final buoy, LUZON CAN START SHOOTING! The current score is Aparri 2, Luzon and Solana 0!
Yixuan: Elaine and Joshua shooting for Luzon, Siying and Martin in the water! Everyone shooting the buoys, trying to score and win immunity. Jack scored another one for Aparri! Antranig scoring one for Solana! Elaine scores one for Luzon! It's Aparri 3, Luzon and Solana tied with 1! Marta coming back with the unscored buoy. Siying coming back with their unscored buoy. It's neck-in-neck for the 2 of them! Jack scores another one for Aparri, they now lead with 4! One more to win immunity. Can Luzon and Solana make a comeback?
Yixuan: Joshua scoring for Luzon! Antranig just misses! Erwitt tries a high angle shot, will he make it? And he does! APARRI WINS IMMUNITY! Solana and Luzon getting frantic now! Steven recovering from the swim and start to shoot. Elaine scores again! Marta screaming at her tribe mates, trying to get them to aim properly. Zac trying to recover the unscored buoy but it keeps floating away further. Luzon is leading with 3, against Solana's 1!
Yixuan: Steven makes a nice throw, and he scores! At the same time, Elaine scores another one! It is now 4-2 in Luzon's favour, can Solana make a miracle comeback? Antranig scoring another one immediately! Siying fighting to return Luzon's last buoy to Elaine. Antranig scoring Solana's fourth buoy, this guy is on fire! Both Luzon and Solana neck-in-neck with 4 points. Who will make the final point first? Elaine shoots, Steven shoots. Steven's buoy bounced off the hoop! Elaine's buoy hits the interior of the hoop, and it enters the basket! LUZON WINS IMMUNITY!
Yixuan: Aparri and Luzon, congratulations. Immunity keeping you safe from tribal council tonight, nobody going home. Grab your stuff, head back to camp.
*Aparri and Luzon walking out*
Yixuan: Solana, after 11 days, your first tribal council tonight, whereby one of the 6 of you will be going home. Grab your stuff and head back to camp. You have a long afternoon ahead to figure out who it's going to be.
*Solana walking out*
Zac (confessionals): I am really pissed that the tribe lost the challenge. I don't know if they were throwing it to get me out, or they just suck in general. But this baby in my pocket means I am not going anywhere!
Marta (confessionals): Those useless idiots can't shoot for nuts. I think even my baby girl can shoot better than them! But luckily, we have an easy boot so, wish me good luck! xd
Solana Camp
Antranig (confessionals): Once we got back to camp, the situation was really tense. And as usual, I was waiting for an explosion between Zac and Marta.
Marta: You guys know who I am going to vote, kthxbye.
*Marta walks to the water*
Kandace: You know, Marta needs to calm her tits down.
Steven: I like her this way. We need to discuss the vote tonight.
Kandace: Let's just do Zac, he can't even swim properly just now. He is like a dead fish trying to find life.
Steven: Yeah, I know right, and if he and Marta sticks together, they will just keep fighting.
Kandace: One of them needs to go.
Kandace (confessionals): I feel like I can trust Steven because he seems to be very open with his thoughts. And he is also good at challenges so I think it would benefit me if I stick with him.
Antranig (confessionals): I think the tribe wants Zac gone, but I have a feeling that he might have the idol. And that really unnerves me.
Antranig: Hey Zac, what are your plans?
Zac: What else can I do? Marta is gunning for me, no she is drowning me.
Antranig: Do you have an idol or anything?
Zac: What? No! How would I find an idol when I am treated like a prisoner of war here.
Antranig: Anyway, I was thinking we can maybe work together and get one of the girls out.
Zac: I want Marta out.
Antranig: That was fast.
Zac: Yeah, I am going to scramble until I am out.
Zac (confessionals): Antranig seem to be suspecting that I have the idol. Tonight I most definitely have to play it, and I need to figure out which one of the 5 of them I should send home.
Marta: Okay, the clue says that it's around here somewhere.
*waddles around shallow water*
Marta: I guess I should try overturning rocks.
*overturns rocks and rocks and more rocks*
Marta: What if it's already found? That would suck big time.
Shaniqua: Time to get that whiny bitch out.
Kandace: I agree. Steven is also in, so we have at least 4 votes on him.
Shaniqua: I know, and Antranig would be nuts not to join us. Let me bully him a little more, I am going to miss it.
Shaniqua (confessionals): Tonight, Zac is going. So I decided to slave him around for one last day.
Shaniqua: ZAC GO GET SOME WATER.
Zac: What? When did I become your personal assistant?
Shaniqua: I don't know. Go make yourself useful if you don't want me to vote for you.
Zac: Ouch, that hurts. Go get your water yourself.
Shaniqua: Oh no you didn't.
Zac: Oh yes I did.
Shaniqua: Buzz off, I am totally going to vote you out tonight.
Zac: You are going to anyway.
Shaniqua: You sure are obnoxious.
Shaniqua (confessionals): Urgh, talking to Zac just cause my blood level to rise. I need to rest so that my complexion remains pretty.
Zac (confessionals): Shaniqua is another one who thinks she can boss me around. Looks like I am spoiled for choice tonight.
Antranig: Aren't you worried at all that Zac might have the idol?
Steven: I know, Are you thinking of splitting the vote to keep ourselves safe?
Antranig: That did cross my mind.
Steven: We could split it to a girl, making it 3-2-1.
Antranig: I talked to him just now but he assured me that he doesn't have it. Which means, someone in our alliance might be lying to us.
Steven: This game is so confusing and full of paranoia.
Antranig: Urgh, I know. I can't wait for tonight to be over.
Antranig (confessionals): Walking to tribal, I am still not decided on how to vote. I hope that if Zac really has the idol, he would use it against one of those girls instead of me because I am like the only one treating him nicely.
Tribal Council
*Solana tribe walking in*
Yixuan: Behind each of you is a torch, go ahead and grab one, approach the flame, dip it in and get fire. This is part of the tribal council ritual because in this game fire represents your life, and when your fire is gone, so are you. And one of you will be facing it tonight.
*castaways light up torch*
Yixuan: Okay someone give me an update, Steven?
Steven: Well, I think our tribe really works well together, except the girls really hate Zac and vice-versa.
Shaniqua: I don't hate Zac, but from where I come from, people from different classes don't mingle.
Zac: Oh, thank you for placing me in a higher class than you.
Shaniqua: Oh shut up, no one said you could talk.
Steven: See?
Yixuan: That is interesting. Marta, what is your take on this?
Marta: Since we arrive at camp on Day 1, Zac has been going all out to annoy everyone. So, for the better of everyone, bye Zac.
Zac: Bye my ass.
Yixuan: Antranig, in this game where by social skills is important, how will it hurt you if you are caught in an argument like that?
Antranig: It's definitely going to work against your favour if you are not on the majority side, because that gives them another reason to vote for you. If Zac continues to pick fight with the girls, it will not end well for him.
Zac: At least I am living up to how I should live my life, and not let a couple of doll run it.
Yixuan: Kandace, you are awfully silent tonight. What is going to factor into your vote tonight?
Kandace: The past few days, the fued between Zac and everyone is causing our tribe morale to be low. So I am hoping to fix it with my vote.
Zac: By voting me out.
Shaniqua: BINGO!
Zac: Shut up.
Shaniqua: You shut up first.
Marta: Can we just get to the vote? I can't wait to see that spoiled brat leave.
Yixuan: Wow, okay, we will now get to the vote. Steven, you are up.
*Steven voted*
Steven: Sorry bro, but cohesion is what the tribe needs.
*Marta voted - Zac*
Marta: You are not glam enough, get out of my face.
*Shaniqua voted - Zac*
Shaniqua: You need to get your fat ass out of here.
*Kandace voted*
Kandace: I have waited 11 days too long to write your name down.
*Antranig voted*
Antranig: Praying really hard that this is not the wrong choice. I need this to pull through.
*Zac voted*
Zac: Some people need to learn that you don't get everything you want.
Yixuan: Alright, I will tally the votes.
*collect votes*
Yixuan: If anyone has the hidden immunity idol and would like to play it, now would be the time to do so.
Zac: *standing up* As a matter of fact Yixuan, I have a little trinket hiding it my shorts, waiting to emerge. And tonight is the perfect time for it to come out.
Antranig: Oh crap.
Marta: THAT MUST BE FAKE!
Yixuan: The rules of Survivor states that if anyone plays the hidden immunity idol, any votes cast against them will not count. This is indeed the hidden immunity idol, any votes cast against Zac will not count. I will read the votes.
First vote, Zac. Does not count.
Second vote, Zac. Does not count.
Third vote, Zac. Does not count.
Fourth vote: Zac. Does not count.
Zac: Knew it!
Fifth vote, Zac. Does not count.
One vote left.
Fourth person voted out of Survivor: Cagayan, SHANIQUA
Yixuan: Unfortunately, that 1 vote is enough.
Shaniqua: You crazy bitch. I hope to see you in Ponderosa soon
Zac: Shut up, no one cares about you.
Shaniqua: I am going to throw you into the fire!
*Shaniqua brings torch over*
Yixuan: Shaniqua, the tribe has spoken. *extinguishes torch* Time for you to go.
Shaniqua: Please do me a favour and send that brat packing too.
Yixuan: Well, you guys openly discussed your strategy and got blindsided by an idol. Looks like your tribe feud has just started. Grab your stuff and head back to camp.
Shaniqua (confessionals): Bye.
