Never Smile at a Crocodile is the second episode of Survivor: Portland Bight.

Previously on Survivor..

Twenty contestants across the United States came to Jamaica in hopes of becoming the Sole Survivor. They were divided up into two tribes: Alcoa & Oracabessa. 

In the first reward challenge, Oracabessa dominated Alcoa and won reward. However, when Henry started to make an impression on his tribe, Jerry decided to play hard. He formed an alliance called The Clique with Brisa, Hiro, and Jessica. Secretly, Amy formed an alliance with Fred and Rudy in hopes to cause chaos.

Alcoa responded by winning the immunity challenge. Jerry's allianced gunned for Henry while Henry's new alliance with Jessica and Charlotte gunned for Jerry. This left the other three to make the decision. At Tribal Council, Amy and Jessica decide to take the fall for the challenge hoping to save Henry. The votes resulted in a 5-5 tie. But when the revotes happened, it was Jerry, who was voted out.

19 are left. Who will be voted out tonight?

Story

Night 3

Oracabessa

Oracabessa returns from Tribal Council having voted off Jerry. Henry is acting relieved that he was spared. But in truth, it was all part of a plan he had made.

Henry Thanks guys for saving me.

Fred No problem bro.

Jessica It serves him right for trying to do what he did. Taking out a weak member early. That's just ridiculous.

Amy It works sometimes, but not tonight.

Rudy You can breathe easy man. Tomorrow's a new day.

Henry Thank god!

“	Me, Charlotte, and Jessica came up with a plan to get out of trouble. We decided to put ourselves out there and say vote us out. I would say it first and the reason was I'm nobody, then Jessica would say "No, it's my fault! Vote me out! I lost the challenge!"And then Charlotte would but in that she threw it on purpose. I was surprised Amy decided said she threw the competition and said Charlotte's line. But I knew she didn't do it. It was all a plan to get back at Jerry and I can't believe it worked.	”
–Henry

Henry I may be like Cochran to start off in South Pacific. Not really though.

Cassidy does not seem too happy with Henry's return.

“	Our tribe is full of idiots. There is no way Henry should be here. We were going to vote him out. But that stupid b#%&* Amy decided to flip at the last second. Why the hell did she do it? She didn't think we would care for her. Well now we don't.	”
–Cassidy

Henry and his alliance are chatting away from the others. 

Jessica I still can't believe we pulled it off.

Henry I know. When the last vote was read I was like Holy Sugar Hottie Island Treat.

Jessica Why didn't you say anything Charlotte?

Charlotte I was going to. But Amy somehow picked it up and said it. Don't know why!

Jessica I think we can trust her and the other two.

Henry I agree. Let's bring them in. They can help us.

“	If it hadn't been for Amy, Fred, and Rudy, Henry was gone and it would be Charlotte and myself, which would suck. But we're very grateful that they voted are way and hopefully we can work our way towards making it to the end.	”
–Jessica

Survivor Portland Bight-2

Day 4

Alcoa

The next day, the members of the Alcoa tribe are enjoying nothing but happiness. They sing, dance, and massage with each other. They like to play pranks. All in all, it's a good time for them. Especially for Dexter and Ernie.

“	There's nothing better then being on the Alcoa camp right now. It's almost like a celebration everyday. We have danceoffs, karaoke contests, and even fun times at the beach. It's almost like college frat parties minus the beer. The atmosphere is right there with this tribe. I don't see any reason for us to falter.	”
–Daphne

Dexter and Ernie decide to take a walk to talk some strategy.

Ernie Here's what I want. I want you, me, and two others working together. I think we have the perfect chemistry right now.

Dexter I agree bro! I don't see anyway we can be stopped.

Ernie I'm thinking Nathan should be a good ally if we can get him.

Dexter Only problem is I think Tori and Kendra might be onto them as well.

Ernie Nathan won't commit to them. We'll get him before they know it.

“	Me and Ernie got a thing going. We've connected really well over the pass four days and are like brothers right now. If there was anyone I would be sitting with in the finals, it's Ernie. I think he's smart, cool, and like me, sexy. So we can cause a few magic tricks if we can.	”
–Dexter

Ernie Just remember Dexter, if anyone asks you, you know nothing. Never smile at a crocodile.

Dexter You got it man!

Oracabessa

On Oracabessa, the mood is not as smoke as Alcoa's, but not as painful as the day before. The group is talking in shelter about personal lives.

Hiro Last date I had was two years ago at a Chinese restaurant and my date hated it because she was Korean. It's funny cause I'm actually Japanese.

Jessica That's funny!

Henry  If that happened to me, I'd move to Kuala Lumpur and hide in the big towers.

Amy  So what about you Rudy? You ever been in love?

Rudy Once!

Charlotte How did it work out?

Rudy It didn't!

Fred Did you tell her?

Rudy No!

Cassidy  I'm sorry Rudy.

“	I was in love with a girl named Hannah who was my best friend and I had a chance to tell her. She was the light of my world and unfortunately, she was going through tough times. Got to the point where she lost hope and she couldn't fight anymore. One night, I had a chance to go right to her house and prevent it. Instead, I went left to the bar. I still feel a bit guilty that I screwed up and made the wrong choice. I still wish I had a chance to see her again. That Christmas was the worst one I had. Seeing the kids playing around the neighborhood was very hard for me because it reminded of a childhood friendship with her, which I'll never have. I have a butterfly tattoo on my heart, which resembles her because she always said happiness comes in the form of a butterfly. I won't tell anyone about it. Yet I intend to honor her memory and I still love her to death. If I win Survivor, part of the money goes to her foundation.	”
–Rudy

Day 5

Alcoa

It had been raining the night before. Although the rain had stopped, the waters or flooding. At the Alcoa camp, Wayne, Tanner, Kendra, and Tori were talking about Tanner's secret homosexuality.

Tanner It's not so much that I'm not conservative about it, but being part of the gay society isn't something That I'm used to talking about.

Kendra Does it always lead to possible bad nights? Like are you feeling the fear of being perceived as a bad person for that?

Tanner Not as much as I was before. Before, it would just be getting through school everyday without being picked on, which rarely happens. Nowadays, even though I'm not bullied, it doesn't matter to me one bit what happens. I'm proud of myself and that's all I can say.

Tori You're very brave for telling us.

“	I'm not always open about talking about my sexuality. But ever since I was 13, I knew I was gay. I've been picked on, bullied, and abuse about it. I had to deny the rumors. I thought I was going through a phase. But over time, I can do except myself. Having told Wayne, Tori, and Kendra, I feel very happy about it and I think the others if you're supportive of me.	”
–Tanner

Everyone gets out of the river except for Kendra. She is lying down in the river when unbeknownst to her, the floodwaters had pushed through the barriers and were heading towards her.

Tanner Kendra! Get out of the water!

When she saw the waters, she couldn't get out of the water because her foot was stuck in the ground.

Kendra Help! I'm stuck!

Tanner Hold on! I'm coming!

Tanner tries to save her before the water engulfs them both.

Oracabessa

Rudy, and Fred are working on chopping some coconuts when they hear some shouting.

Tanner: (from afar) Help! Somebody help us!

Kendra: (from afar) We're stuck!

Rudy: What's that?

Fred: It sounds like people in trouble. Coming from Alcoa.

Rudy: Don't want to do this. But we better go check it out.

Rudy and Fred go to the other side of the island. They cross the border line and look down to see Kendra and Tanner struggling in the water.

Rudy: Fred! Go back and get help from everybody else.

Fred: I'm on it!

Rudy: Hang on guys! I'm coming!

Rudy jumps in the water and swims to join the other two. As the water continues to come at them, Rudy reaches them.

Rudy: What's wrong?

Tanner: Her foot is stuck.

Rudy: Stay here! We're going to get help.

Mavis from Alcoa sees this and rushes back to her tribe.

Mavis Hey! Kendra's in trouble. Tanner too! We got to help them.

Ernie, Nathan, and Dexter rush out there first while everyone struggles behind. Fred returns with the entire Oracabessa tribe. He and Hiro jump in to try get to the others. Dexter, Ernie, and Nathan follow suit.

Rudy Her foot's stuck under the mud. We got to get it out and make sure we pull on tight.

Nathan Alright, we need a few people to prevent anything coming towards us.

Jessica, Charlotte, Dexter, and Hiro form a wall protecting the others from injury.

Nathan Ok! I'm going under. I'm gonna try pull her out. You and Ernie hang onto her tightly.

Ernie Get back Tanner!

Tanner drops back to the shore while Nathan goes under. He successfully pulls her foot from the mud and comes up.

Nathan For a human chain guys. Everyone grab a hand.

While Alcoa joins in to form a human chain, the Oracabessa tribe members who weren't in the water run around and help Alcoa from the other side. Rudy, Ernie, and Nathan have Kendra. Wayne and Hiro are pulling Nathan.

Rudy Alright! On three! 1....2....3! Pull!

The human chain is able to pull Kendra out of the water. She's conscious, but choking. Mavis tried her best to perform the Heimlich maneuver after seeing Kendra starting to choke. Jeff and the medics soon came to check on both contestants.

Jeff Everyone ok?

Dexter We're fine!

Jeff Tanner, you ok?

Tanner Yeah! I'm alright Jeff.

Jeff goes to see the medic.

Jeff How's she doing?

Medic Doesn't appear to look bad. But we have to keep overnight and make sure she's fine.

Jeff Kendra, you alright?

Kendra I'm fine! I'm so sorry guys! I'm so sorry!

Wayne It's ok! You'll be fine.

Jeff Kendra, the medics are going to keep you overnight. You're not out of the game yet. But the medics want to make sure you're ok.

Kendra Ok!

The medics take Kendra away strapped on a board.

Jeff: Well I'm glad to see that the rest of you is alright. I'm sure this moment is a tough one to endure. I appreciate your efforts in saving Kendra's life. The water should recede soon and hopefully won't be a problem tomorrow. However, from this point on. No one is allowed to cross the border between those two trees with X's on them. Understand?

Everyone Yes sir!

Jeff Y'all had on back to your camps. I'll see you tomorrow.

Oracabessa starts to head back. But not before shaking hands and hugging members of the Alcoa tribe.

“	You always want to force your opponent to vote out one of their tribe members everyday. But to see someone be removed due to medical emergency is just bittersweet. More likely, it's really not fair. I hope she doesn't leave.	”
–Fred

“	I hope and pray that Kendra comes back to the game. I respect her as a person and a game player. I did everything I could to save her. Right now it's up to the medics to do the job.	”
–Mavis

Night 5

Alcoa

Everyone on Alcoa sits at camp thinking about Kendra.

“	Knowing Kendra and her personality, it wouldn't be fair to see her leave. She deserves to stay and play in the challenges and go as far as we can take her. Leaving the game medically isn't the right way.	”
–Tori

Jeff soon returns to the Alcoa tribe.

Jeff Can I have everyone here right now?

The Alcoa tribe gets up and sees Jeff. They form a wall around him.

Jeff Well I'm sure the last few hours have been tough for this tribe because earlier today, you guys saw something that accidentally happened. Kendra was overtaken by the floodwaters and was sent to the medics for a checkup. Before I give you the news, I want to know what you guys are thinking right now. Are you concerned?

Tori We're very concerned Jeff. Kendra has been the nicest woman out here. She cares so much for each of us. It's like we all had a second mother. Three if you include Mavis.

Jeff So what you feel if for some reason, Kendra had to leave the game?

Ernie We'd be devastated because Kendra cares a lot about us. Her leaving would be a huge blow to all of us.

Jeff Well now I can officially tell you that the doctors have checked in on Kendra's condition and she is doing ok! I asked the doctor if she was good to compete tomorrow and keep playing, and he said "Yes!"

Everyone is relieved the hear the news. Prim cheers.

Jeff Kendra will return tomorrow before the challenge. I know you'll expect to see her soon. Y'all get a good night's rest. See you tomorrow.

Nathan Thanks Jeff!

Tori Thank you Jeff!

Alcoa gets into a group hug for a few seconds and then they depart for a good night's sleep.

“	After finding out that Kendra was going to be ok, I was very relieved. She's a big part of this tribe and if she continues to get well, then she could be an asset to our game.	”
–Mavis

Day 6

Alcoa

Kendra returns to the tribe after a night at the hospital. When the tribe sees her, they cheer and run to hug her.

Dexter Welcome back Kendra.

Kendra It's great to be back.

Tori You doing ok?

Kendra Oh yeah! I'm fine! Where's Tanner?

Tanner Right here!

Kendra Come here!

Kendra hugs and kisses Tanner on the cheek.

Kendra Thank you!

Tanner You're welcome!

“	I'm not exactly 100%. But I feel like I can still do this. The night stay at the hospital was good. The doctors there made sure I had enough water in my system to keep in the challenge. I'm going to play today. I'll play till I either win or go home.	”
–Kendra

Nathan Hey who's ready to beat the tar out of the other tribe?

Kendra But they saved me yesterday! Y'all all did!

Dexter Still the enemy!

Kendra Alright! Let's kick their ass!

Everyone cheers and they go to the Immunity Challenge.

Reward/Immunity Challenge

The scene shifts to a sandy part of the island deep in the woods.

Jeff Come on in guys!

When Oracabessa arrives, they see that a ramp, bags hanging on bar, and a chest. They turn to see Jeff.

Jeff We're now bringing in the new Alcoa tribe.

Oracabessa looks surprised and turns to see them coming in.

Jeff Ernie, Wayne, Tori, Tanner, Daphne, Prim, Nathan, Mavis, Dexter,... and Kendra.

Oracabessa cheers for Kendra's return. Kendra smiles and waves at them.

Jeff Kendra, how are you feeling?

Kendra I'm feeling good Jeff. Thanks for asking!

Jeff Did you ever feel like you weren't coming back?

Kendra I figured there was a chance I could come back in this game. But if it hadn't been for everybody on both tribes helping me out, I wouldn't be here. So I like to thank my tribe and Oracabessa, even though I want to beat you, I love you just the same as the others.

Fred Thanks Kendra!

Dexter Hey where's the dude with the blonde hair and a cowboy hat?

Jeff Whoops! I forgot to say that Jerry was voted out in the first tribal council.

Dexter Didn't notice till now!

Jeff Alright, you guys ready for the challenge?

Everyone Yes sir!

Jeff First things first. Alcoa, I'll take it back.

Jeff receives the statue from Tori.

Jeff Once again, immunity is back up for grabs. For today's challenge, one member of each tribe will down a hill in a barrel to reach the bottom. When you stop, you'll go to a crate where you will either untie a rope, unlock a combination, or use a key to open a chest. There are three options each on your tribe. Once all nine spots are open, you'll pick up a ladder and then you'll work you're way through a maze. When you get through, you'll then use the ladder to climb up and get one of three bags of pieces. They are each in different categories of world events. They are US Presidents, Oscar Winning Pictures, and World Series Winners. When you choose you're category, you'll then work on the puzzle trying to solve it. First tribe to correctly solve their puzzle wins immunity safe from tonight's vote. The losers though will be going to Tribal Council where somebody will be voted out of this game. In addition, you're playing for reward. I know you each have a hunger problem. So here's something to cure that.

Jeff removes a tarp revealing...

Jeff Fishing equipment! You'll use these to catch fish as you can. If you can't catch fish, then you'll eat beans for the whole time you're here. Alcoa, you have an extra member on your tribe. Who's sitting out?

Kendra I think I'll sit out Jeff.

Kendra Kendra, take a spot on the bench. Rest of y'all will get a minute to strategize and we'll get started.

In the huddles, both tribes seem eager to take the U.S presidents puzzle. From the start, Alcoa takes a huge lead while Oracabessa struggles to open their ladder. Hiro and Cassidy can't get their rope untied. It gets worse when by the time they try to navigate their platform, Alcoa has already sent Mavis to do the puzzle. Mavis knows her presidents in her heart. But for some reason, she struggles trying to think of the names. Meanwhile, Rudy tells the tribe to take the World Series Winners puzzle. He then goes to solve the puzzle. While Mavis was trying to get her presidents in order, Rudy is making a charge putting the pieces in order.

Mavis soon puts all presidents on the board and thinks she's got it. But she's wrong. She tries to figure out what the problem is (The Bushes are switched & Millard Filmore is swapped with Franklin Pierce). Rudy soon catches up and finishes his puzzle. He's right and Oracabessa wins immunity and reward. Alcoa is devastated while Oracabessa celebrates.

Jeff Oracabessa, congrats on winning the challenge. One more decision to make. Who's going to be at tribal council tonight?

Oracabessa huddles and talks about it. They break up moments later.

Brisa Jeff, Cassidy and I would like to go.

“	Brisa and I decided to go because we wanted to make a good impression on the tribe because we're on the outs right now and in order for us to stay in this game, we have to make ourselves worthy.	”
–Cassidy

Jeff I'll see you tonight. Alcoa, see you at Tribal Council. Head on out.

Alcoa

On the Alcoa tribe, defeat is the mood. But talks are not far from everybody's mind. Kendra, Tori, Wayne and Tanner are chatting amongst each other.

Tanner tough loss. I thought we were going to win. But we didn't win.

Wayne So who's the lucky one to get out tonight?

Tanner I was thinking maybe Prim or Daphne. Those two are not helping our cause. We got to take one of them out.

Tori That sounds too easy. I think we might have to go in a different direction. Perhaps maybe Dexter.

“	We had a huge lead and then we blew it. So now we go to tribal council. It's easy to vote out Prim or Daphne because neither one is the strongest. But the big reason why we lost this challenge was because of Mama Mavis. She said she knew her US Presidents in her heart. Yet she struggled and did not give us a chance to help. This tells me she's not trustable and she has to be taken out.	”
–Kendra

Kendra I was thinking that we can probably take out Mavis.

Tanner What?

Kendra Just think about it. She has a great personality and is great in making us happy. But we have to win challenges. Mavis can't do any of that if she's with us.

Tori I actually like the idea. We got four votes. I can easily convince Daphne and Prim to join us.

Kendra Then it's settled. Mavis tonight. I just hope she can forgive me later.

As Kendra and Tori walk off, Tanner and Wayne start having second thoughts.

Tanner I'm just completely baffled by what I just heard. Mavis helped her out.

Wayne I know dog. What the hell does she mean by that?

“	I find it difficult to say that voting Mavis out would make sense. Why would you take someone out after she saved your life? I think that's a form of betrayal?	”
–Tanner

Tanner and Wayne decide to talk to Mavis, who is outraged that her name was being brought up. By this point Dexter and Ernie already explained to Mavis and Nathan their plan to get to the final four. Mavis and Nathan had agreed to the deal.

“	I've always lived by the motto 'You help me, I'll help you!' But when I heard that Kendra had sights on taking me out, after I helped her stay in this game without being pulled out due to the flood, I'm just not sure. She thinks it's to play the game. I see that as an outrage and put her as a threat.	”
–Mavis

Mavis tells her alliance about Kendra and they agree to take Kendra out. Tori was able to convince Daphne and Prim to vote out Mavis. This left Tanner and Wayne as the swing votes. They have no idea which direction to go in.

“	I hate being the swing vote, particularly this early in the game. I can choose to play it safe and vote out Mavis to keep the tribe strong, even though I am grateful for her efforts to save Kendra. Or I can take a risk and send Kendra, who is one of our strongest players, to the showers. I'm not sure what could come out of this if I make either choice. But I feel that the rescue yesterday was all for nought. I feel like I'm gonna be screwed either way.	”
–Tanner

Alcoa Tribal Council

Tribal Council begins with Alcoa arriving. Beth and Cassidy for Oracabessa are already at Tribal Council sitting in the jury section. They will not speak at all during tribal.

Jeff Behind each of you is a torch. Grab one, light it up. In this game, fire represents your life. When your fire is out, so are you. So, this is your first time at Tribal Council and we've had a few crazy days. Let's start with what happened yesterday. Kendra, what happened?

Kendra Well, we were lounging around when the waters started to rise. Everyone was saying for me to get out. I tried to, but my foot got stuck in the mud below. Then the waters engulfed me and I was out for a few seconds and it just...

Jeff You were out?

Kendra I was. It's amazing how I was able to recover after such an event like that.

Mavis I think part of that was due to the quick reaction of Tanner and everyone else who was there quickly to get her out. She could've easily drowned badly. But had it not been for the quick response, we would feel haunted by not rescuing her in time.

Jeff As well as some heroic CPR efforts by you Mavis.

Mavis Well I prefer to have it as a collective effort by everyone there.

Jeff Tanner, were you scared that you could also have been severely injured during that?

Tanner It was never far from my mind. I was afraid for my life. But glad that both Kendra and I are here.

Jeff Well, as happy as y'all are that all of you are still alive, you guys are here because you lost a challenge after having a huge lead. Ernie, last challenge, Oracabessa had a huge lead and they lost it due to the puzzle. You had a huge lead and lost it. What does that tell you?

Ernie That puzzles suck and we need to get rid of them? Hahaha. I'm just kidding. I think it actually is because the stress of the challenge and Mavis said she knew her U.S Presidents well. But unfortunately, she couldn't get the job done.

Jeff Mavis, must be a tough deal to have your name as the one who didn't solve the puzzle.

Mavis I know. I will admit that I was stressed and trying to rush because I was under the impression that the other tribe was coming towards us and I had to solve it quickly. But that screwed my thinking.

Jeff Let me ask you, who was the thirty-third president?

Mavis Harry Truman.

Nathan Twenty-first?

Mavis Chester Arthur.

Daphne Eighth?

Mavis Martin Van Buren. Look, I know my presidents guys. But I'm still in shock that Rudy knew World Series winners. I mean, who knows that in order?

Jeff We're only asking you because there's not going to be a challenge with U.S Presidents again. We believe you when we say you're smart.

Mavis I know!

Jeff So Wayne, the responsibility lies on Mavis. Does voting her out make things right in the end?

Wayne If you want a strong tribe with steroids, then Mavis should be voted out. But we saw from the other tribe, they voted out a fool who was not solving puzzles. So basically, you have to find your heart.

Mavis And I just want to add, if you guys decide to vote me out, I won't be angry. I may be upset, but I'll forgive you guys. Cause I'm a person who holds no grudges.

Jeff Prim, Mavis is saying that she'll have no hard feelings if she's voted out. Does that tell you to perhaps keep her and send someone else home?

Prim It does tell you that. But you have to vote people out to keep your tribe strong and hope for the best. So, I don't think this will be anything dramatic tonight.

Jeff With that in mind, it is time to vote. Dexter, you're up.

Dexter goes up to vote first. One by one, everyone goes up to vote. Kendra soon makes her vote known as the camera focuses in on Mavis.

“	I still thank you for saving my life. But this is a game decision. I just hope we can be friends afterwards. Love ya.	”
–Kendra

Mavis gets her chance to reveal her vote as the focus shifts to Kendra.

“	After everything I did to save your life and keep you here on earth, you then decide to go behind my back and take me out. Is that what I get? I helped you like another human being. I'm sorry.	”
–Mavis

Tanner and Wayne are the last two to vote, which will make people wonder where the votes will go.

Jeff I'll go tally the votes.

Jeff goes to get the urn while the camera focuses on Kendra who doesn't seem to intimidated at all. Jeff returns with the urn.

Jeff If anyone has a hidden immunity idol and you would like to play it, now would be the time to do so.

No one gets up and plays an idol. Then again, no one has an idol yet.

Jeff Ok! Once the votes are read, the decision is final. Person voted out will be asked to leave tribal council immediately. I'll read the votes.

First vote: Mavis

Mavis (2-0)

Mavis nods accordingly not surprised.

Kendra (2-1)

Kendra is surprised by a vote for her.

Kendra (2-2)

Mavis (3-2)

Kendra (3-3)

Mavis (4-3)

Mavis sits still hoping for a miracle. Tori and Kendra smile at each other and Wayne, who fake smiles.

Kendra (4-4)

The smile is still on Kendra's face. Tanner and Wayne look down.

Kendra (5-4)

Kendra and Tori are surprised. Tanner still has his head down.

Second person voted out of Survivor: Portland Bight: Kendra

Kendra is stunned and Tori puts her hand in the face. Mavis breathes a sigh of relief while her alliance is happy. Tanner and Wayne show no emotion as they watch Kendra grab her torch.

Jeff Kendra, you're tribe has spoken.(snuffs Kendra's torch) Time for you go!

Kendra leaves.

Jeff Well even though you all have great hearts to help a fellow tribe member, this game has become a huge part of your lives right now. So you can expect there to be more days with Survivor as your #1 priority now. Grab you're torches and head on out. Good night!

Alcoa grabs their torches and leaves Tribal Council with nine members left.

“	I don't want to do this. But this tribe needs more wins. Sorry Mavis.	”
–Prim

“	I lost a little trust in you when you wanted Mavis out. I think that's disrespectful and hurtful to a caring woman. If you did that to my mom after she would've helped you, I get my sister to beat you to the mat.	”

“	I really preferred keeping both you and Mavis together. But I think this is going to help me in the long run. I'm sorry.	”

Final Words

“	I thought the floods were bad. But being blindsided is a lot worse. I didn't mean to sound like I hurt Mavis. I was making strategic decisions. Tanner and Wayne should feel embarrassed right now because I feel the next two tribal councils will see them gone.	”
