Story[]

Day 1[]

Introduction[]

The season starts with an overhead view of Long Bay on the island of Barbados. As the camera zoomed closer to the ground, you could see host Jeff Probst standing in the sand.

	"I am standing in the beautiful Barbados. Home to beautiful beaches, majestic water, and diverse wildlife, this seems like the perfect place... for a season of Survivor. We've gathered twenty new castaways from different walks of life. Although they live completely different lives, all of them have one thing in common... all of them want to be the Sole Survivor. They've already been split into two tribes, and they're heading towards me right now."
JEFF PROBST
SURVIVOR HOST

Jeff pointed to two speedboats, each carrying ten castaways through the ocean. One boat was blue, while the other was yellow. The boats reached the shore, and all twenty castaways got up and walked onto the mat that matched the color of their boat.

"Well everyone, welcome to... Survivor: Barbados!" Jeff yelled, causing everyone to enthusiastically clap and cheer.

"Girl in the purple tank top." Jeff said, pointing to a girl on the blue mat. "What's your name?"

"Maya!" She responded.

"Maya, have you taken a look at your tribemates? Does it look like a good team?" Jeff asked.

"It looks really good. We have some guys who look really strong, and hopefully some other people who will contribute just as much. I think we'll do pretty well." Maya said. "Only one way to find out, I guess!"

	"When Jeff asked me the opening question, I had to try really hard to stop myself from stuttering. I mean, this is Survivor, and I'm just so excited to be here! Thousands of people apply to be on the show, so it really feels like an honor to be here. I still have to pinch myself every five seconds to make sure I'm not dreaming."
MAYA
NBA CHEERLEADER

Jeff pointed to another person, again on the blue mat.

"Guy in the glasses." Jeff said.

"I- I'm Carson!" The twenty-year old quickly responded.

"How does it feel to be on Survivor?" Jeff asked him.

"I mean, there's not even really an adjective in the dictionary that describes it, Jeff. I still can't believe it. It's just crazy." Carson answered.

	"So I- I'm looking around and everyone looks like really super intimidating. Most of them could probably squash me into a pancake if they wanted to. But I've seen Survivor before, and I know underdogs can win this game. That's kinda what I feel like, t- the ultimate underdog."
CARSON
CHEMISTRY STUDENT

"Older woman in the back." Jeff said, now pointing toward the yellow tribe.

"Who are you calling old, Jeff?" The woman laughed. "Name's Brenda."

"Brenda, I've noticed you look particularly excited. Is this exciting for you, to be here on Survivor?" Jeff asked.

"It's gonna be a hoot!" Brenda yelled. "I've been watching this show for about as long as some of these people have been alive. I'm very excited."

A man wearing a collared shirt, a tan-colored hat, and somewhat thick glasses looked at Brenda with a mixed reaction.

	"Brenda... she seems like a really cheery and sweet woman. But she also looks like she's going to be extremely useless in challenges. If I end up having to go to tribal early on, she would probably be one of the first people I would want gone."
LEONARD
COLLEGE PROFESSOR

"All right, so let's get down to it. This season, the tribes are named after two people who are a huge part in Barbados culture - two historic people who helped discover and found Barbados. Those of you on the blue mat, you will be the Campos tribe!"

The new Campos tribe jumped up and down, high-fiving each other. Jeff tossed a buff to each of them.

"Those of you on the yellow mat, you guys are the Powell tribe!" Jeff told them, tossing yellow buffs to them.

	"Our tribe name is Powell... it kinda sounds like power. I dunno, maybe it will be a lucky charm of some sort? Who knows."

Well, I'm sure you guys are eager to get to your first challenge. What you might not realize is that your first challenge... is about to begin right now." Jeff told them.

Everyone gasped in response. Some were excited, while others were a bit scared.

"Oh wow." Jordan said, clearly shocked. "Didn't see that coming."

"For this challenge, each tribe will select one man and one woman to work their way through an obstacle course and grab two bags of puzzle pieces. Once the bags have been grabbed, the two tribe members will then head back through the obstacle course to the other side, where they will have to complete a jigsaw puzzle. First tribe to complete the puzzle wins reward. Wanna know what you're playing for?" Jeff asked.

Everyone nodded in response.

"The tribe who wins this challenge will have a big advantage right out of the gate. You will receive an extra bag of rice, an extra bag of beans, a large fishing kit, and fire in the form of flint." Jeff told them. "Everything you need to make camp life a little better than the other guys."

"That's a really good reward." Jessica whispered to Scott, who nodded in agreement.

"I'll give you guys a minute to select one guy and one girl, and then we'll get started." Jeff grinned.

Both tribes quickly huddled together and whispered with each other, trying to make a quick decision. The camera now fast-forwarded to the challenge, with each tribe's representatives standing on the starting mat.

"All right," Jeff said. "For Campos, we have..."

"Micah." The twenty-seven year old event planner responded.

"And Sarita." The thirty-seven year old added.

"Micah and Sarita. For Powell, we've got..." Jeff pointed to the first member.

"Jaylen." The twenty-four year old grinned.

"And my name's London." Another twenty-four year old stated.

"Micah and Sarita against Jaylen and London. Playing for reward. Survivors ready!? GO!" Jeff yelled.

Reward Challenge #1
Tribe	Obstacle Course
Campos	Micah, Sarita
Powell	Jaylen, London

Both tribes ran immediately. The first obstacle was a large pyramid-shaped obstacle. Both tribes had to climb a cargo net and then once they reached down, they had to climb down the other side. Micah and Sarita took an early lead, while Jaylen and London were trailing just a little bit.
Micah and Sarita reached the second obstacle, which was a large metal bar in the sand. Both tribes had to dig underneath the bar and slide themselves underneath. Micah and Sarita started furiously digging, and shortly after, Jaylen and London started digging as well.
Micah and Sarita got underneath the bar and got to the final obstacle, which was the monkey bars. Sarita was first to go, quickly moving from one to the next. Jaylen and London reached the monkey bars shortly after, and Jaylen decided to go first.
Sarita finished the monkey bars, and now it was Micah's turn. Micah hopped onto the bars, trying to be careful not to fall off.
Jaylen finished the bars now, and London began racing across. Micah tried to widen the gap, but he did the exact opposite by falling off into the sand.
London finished the monkey bars. Jaylen and London grabbed the puzzle bags and now Jaylen went across the monkey bars for the second time.
Micah finally finished the monkey bars, and he and Sarita grabbed their puzzle bags. It was now Micah versus London going across the bars.
London finished the bars at the same time as Micah. Jaylen and London ran back to the bar obstacle, while Micah still had to wait for Sarita before he could move on.
Jaylen and London were now on the pyramid obstacle. They got over it, and now moved onto the puzzle.
Micah and Sarita got under the bar, and they now moved to the pyramid.
Jaylen and London unloaded their pieces, and now worked on fitting together the pieces. Micah and Sarita got over the pyramid, and now they were unloading the pieces.
Micah and Sarita unloaded their pieces. Jaylen and London had a few pieces together, but were now stuck and confused. Micah and Sarita now took the lead for the first time in a while.
Micah and Sarita continued to connect pieces, while Jaylen and London continued to struggle. The winner of the challenge was...

"CAMPOS WINS REWARD!" Jeff exclaimed, causing Micah and Sarita to hug each other in celebration. The entire tribe then ran over and joined them. Jaylen shook his head in frustration.

"Campos, big win for you guys right out of the gate. Your rewards will be delivered to your camp, and should be there by the time you arrive." Jeff told them. Campos cheered once more, congratulating Micah and Sarita for their hard work.

"Powell, got nothin' for ya." Jeff said. "Head to your new home."

Both tribes got into speedboats headed towards their new home.

Campos Tribe[]

The blue tribe cheered and looked in awe as they arrived at their new camp.

"It's so gorgeous!" Maya yelled, pointing to the waves as they brushed up against the sand.

"Absolutely gorgeous." Micah agreed.

	"So we arrive at our beach and it's just so breath-taking. There's crystal clear water, lots of sand, palm trees, it's just magnificent. Growing up in Louisiana, it should be pretty obvious that you don't exactly get to see stuff like this everyday. Between all of this and the big challenge win, I mean, I just really couldn't ask for a better way to begin this game. I really couldn't."
MICAH
EVENT PLANNER

One by one, the ten castaways exited the boat and walked along the beach.

"We should all like, sit down, and introduce ourselves!" Maya told everyone.

"I think that's a great idea!" Jessica agreed. "Let's find a spot on the beach."

	"My first impression of this tribe is that it is absolutely fantastic! Not only did we win the first challenge, but this just looks like a really solid group of individuals. I really hope I'm not wrong, because I don't want to be going to tribal council anytime soon."
JESSICA
REAL ESTATE AGENT

"So who wants to start?" Jessica asked.

"I'll go first," Jordan stated. "My name's Jordan, and I'm an injury lawyer from Miami, Florida."

"Umm, I'm Alex, and I'm a bartender from Nevada." Alex chimed in.

"I'm Nadine, and I'm a waitress from California." Nadine told everyone.

"My name's Bethany, and I'm an art major from Massachusetts." Bethany told everyone. "I just recently graduated actually."

"Congratulations!" Everyone high-fived Bethany.

	"I told everyone on the tribe that I am an art major, but that couldn't be further from the truth. What I actually am is a student at Harvard Medical School, and once I get out of college, I'm projected to make about two hundred thousand dollars a year. If my tribe found this out, that would put a gigantic target on my back, so right now, I'm going to let them believe exactly what I want them to believe. They're basically on a need-to-know basis right now."
BETHANY
MEDICAL STUDENT

"Er- I'm Carson, from umm, New York." Carson nervously said.

"I'm Maya, and I'm a cheerleader from California." Maya added.

"My name is Sarita, and I am a former Russian olympian." Sarita told them.

"Whoa, for real?" Jordan asked.

"Yes," Sarita laughed. "For real."

"Wow." Maya said. "That puts me to shame a little bit!"

Everyone laughed.

	"Having an actual Olympian on our tribe is absolutely fantastic! With her on our side, we're pretty much guaranteed a leg up in every immunity challenge we have, so she's definitely going to be someone I want to work with for a very long time in this game."

"I'm Scott, and I'm a retired coach in the NFL." Scott told everyone.

"I thought I knew you from somewhere!" Maya told him. "That's awesome."

"I'm Micah, and I help, like, to organize community events and stuff." Micah said.

"And I guess that saves me for last. I'm Jessica from Oregon." Jessica explained. "Really nice to meet you guys. Let's get to work!"

Everyone nodded in agreement. They split up and begun work on the camp.

Powell Tribe[]

Over at the Powell tribe, everyone was hard at work as well. Fabian and Jaylen could be seen carrying pieces of tree over to the beach, where they were preparing a shelter.

"A little to the left... and perfect!" Jaylen yelled.

"Looks like it's coming across nicely." Fabian said.

"Mm hmm." Jaylen nodded in agreement.

	"Even though we lost the first challenge, I really don't think we've let that get to us at all. I mean, we're out here on a beautiful island, beginning one of the most exciting games on television, so I mean, it's kinda hard for anyone to be in a bad mood right now. We're meshing so well with one another, and everything is coming across really nicely."
FABIAN
ROCK CLIMBING INSTRUCTOR

"So what do you think so far? About the game?" Fabian asked.

"I think it's going well! Sorry about the challenge." Jaylen said.

"No problem, dude. I mean, I appreciate the fact that you were willing to stand up and volunteer yourself." Fabian replied.

Jaylen smiled.

"Thanks." Jaylen said.

	"I felt really terrible after losing the challenge, you know, I felt like I let the tribe down on the very first day, and it sucks. But to my surprise, everyone's just been super chill and accepting of me. You don't always get second chances given to you in this game, but I'm lucky in that I think I just received one."
JAYLEN
BASKETBALL COACH

Meanwhile, on the other side of the Powell camp, Leonard and Kayla were getting water by the well.

"So you're a professor?" Kayla asked.

"Yes! I teach english mostly. It's very fun, I enjoy working with new students." Leonard told her. "What about you?"

"I actually write blogs online." Kayla said. "Usually related to the gender pay gap and other similar issues in today's economy."

"Nice!" Leonard nodded.

	"My favorite person so far would probably be Kayla. I just love her personality. She's not afraid to say what's on her mind, and she's bold and fierce. Definitely someone who I want to work with during this game. Like, if the two of us could just team up and run this tribe together, like, nothing would make me happier."
LEONARD
COLLEGE PROFESSOR

Elsewhere, Brenda, London and Shonda were walking through the jungle.

"Girls, I'm so excited to play this game." Brenda said. "Is anyone behind us?"

"No." London responded.

"I just want to put it out there, like, I get a really good vibe from all of you girls." Brenda said.

"I get that too." Shonda nodded. "Like, both of you seem really nice."

"Mm hmm." Brenda nodded. "So like, I think we could get the other two girls, and then like..."

"That's half the tribe." Shonda said. "I like that. I like that a lot."

	"I've seen enough episodes of Survivor to know that it's so easy for the guys to team up and just pick off the girls one by one. Because they're physically weaker. If we could have the girls team up against the guys, then we could cause a switcheroo! And we could take control of this game."

"All right, then, to girl power!" Brenda said, putting her hand in. Shonda and London quickly echoed her, and the three girls threw all of their hands in the air.

"So excited, you guys. So excited." Shonda said. "We need, like, a cool name."

"Femme Fatale." Brenda said.

"I love it." London nodded.

"To Femme Fatale!" Shonda said happily.

	"I knew that this game was going to move fast, but I can't say I was expecting it to move quite this fast. It's only been about thirty minutes, and I'm already in an alliance! I mean, that has to be some kind of new record I've set. But anyway, I think this new alliance has the potential to run this tribe. As long as one guy goes home before one girl, then that gives us at Femme Fatale the power to control the votes."

Campos Tribe[]

Campos could be seen working together on constructing a solid shelter.

"This is really good. Keep it up." Jordan said, congratulating his tribe as Alex and Scott started to build a bit of a ceiling for everyone.

"I need to grab more wood for the shelter." Scott replied. He leaped off of the top of the shelter into the sand. "I'll be right back."

"I'll come with you." Jessica told him.

	"The rest of the tribe is really focused on the survival aspect of the game, and the camaraderie aspect and all that. And while there's nothing wrong with that, I'm going to start working on something that's a little more important, which is my social game. Being an older woman and someone who is going to struggle with some of the challenges, it's of utmost importance for me to develop social bonds early on. Because if I don't form these connections early on, it would be so easy for everyone to vote me out first based on challenge strength. I am going to do every single thing in my power to make sure that does not happen."
JESSICA
REAL ESTATE AGENT

"I like this tribe so far." Jessica told Scott.

"I do too." Scott said. "It seems like a good group of people."

"Yep." Jessica said. "We have to watch out though, being the oldest. Because it would be so easy for the young people to just pick off the old people one by one."

"Absolutely, yeah." Scott said. "I think we have to look out for each other in this game. One hundred percent."

"Sounds like a deal to me." Jessica said.

	"Right away, Scott and I clicked with each other just like that." (snaps fingers) "I definitely trust this guy more than anyone else on the tribe at this point. But I've seen Survivor, and I know that having just one ally won't be enough. I need to make sure every single person on the tribe thinks that they have me right in their back pocket. Even though, in reality, that couldn't be further from the truth."
JESSICA
REAL ESTATE AGENT

Jessica could now be seen talking with Nadine by the well.

"I just get a really good vibe from you. I don't know why, but I feel some sort of connection. I would absolutely love for the two of us to work together." Jessica mentioned.

"I like the idea of that." Nadine nodded.

	"If I can get the trust and approval from every single member of my tribe, then I will go from the most vulnerable person in this game to the most powerful person in this game. And I'll be honest, it's a transformation that I would rather quite enjoy."
JESSICA
REAL ESTATE AGENT

Now, Jessica could be seen chatting with Bethany in the water.

"I can't really explain it, but maybe we were like, meant to play this game with one another." Jessica said.

"You think so?" Bethany asked.

"Maybe." Jessica shrugged.

"I like the idea of it." Bethany said.

	"I'll be very honest, I'm not super fond of Jessica. She just seems to act really fake and buddy-buddy with me. She has this thing where she kinda acts like we're lifelong friends, but in reality, this is only day one. In the event where we lose an immunity challenge, I think that it might be in my best interests to chop off the person that I don't feel comfortable with. And right now, that would mean getting rid of Jessica."
BETHANY
MEDICAL STUDENT

Bethany and Maya could now be seen sitting in the shelter.

"So Jessica is making me really uncomfortable." Bethany said.

"What do you mean?" Maya asked.

"She's rubbing a lot of people the wrong way." Bethany replied. "Like she's been talking strategy and alliances with people already. And it's like, it's only day one."

"That's shady..." Maya nodded.

"Yeah." Bethany said. "Just thought I'd let you know."

"Yeah." Maya said. "Thanks."

	"Jessica, she's apparently already been trying to make multiple day one alliances with people. Like, the game literally just started!! She is playing way too hard, way too fast, and if we lose the first challenge, I honestly think it might do her in. I just don't feel safe with her being in the tribe, I really don't. It would make sense to vote her out first."
MAYA

Powell Tribe[]

Brenda, Kayla, Shonda, Toni and London were all together in the water.

"So while the guys aren't here, I just wanted to have a little bit of gossiping time between the five of us," Brenda said. "I really do get a good feeling from the four of you. So I wanted to propose a Femme Fatale alliance."

"Like, all five of us girls?" Toni asked.

"Mm hmm." Brenda nodded. "Just to get us through the first few votes. As long as all five of us are in this thing together, I mean, we'd be virtually unstoppable."

"This is honestly a dream come true." Kayla said. "Like, I will love and cherish this alliance until the day I die. I just love it so much."

	"Brenda proposes the idea of this Femme Fatale alliance and I'm like 'YAAAAAAASSSSSSSSSSS GIRRRRRRLLLLLLLLLL'. I am a hardcore feminist, so I want nothing more than for this all-female alliance to be the greatest alliance Survivor has ever seen in the history of ever. We'll drop a big, fat bomb of estrogen into the tribe, and all the guys will disappear one by one by one."
KAYLA

"Do you think we would be able to convince the guys to get rid of another guy first?" Toni asked.

"I think we could." Brenda said.

"We could try to push for Victor." Kayla said.

"Victor has literally done nothing around camp since we got here." Shonda said.

"Exactly." Kayla said. "So I think we could push to vote him out. As long as they don't catch onto the fact that they'd be putting themselves into a gender minority, I think we'd be able to take him out."

"Brilliant." Brenda nodded. "Femme Fatale can run this game, you guys."

"I love it." Shonda agreed.

	"Victor... he has not really done a whole lot around camp today. And so, I'm thinking, if he doesn't work hard around camp day one, chances are, he's not going to work hard on day ten, or day twenty, or day thirty. That makes him the perfect first target for Femme Fatale. If we can get Victor out of this game first, then we will have control over who goes home every single time this tribe goes to tribal council."

Night 1[]

Campos Tribe[]

It was the first night on the beach, and five castaways could be seen sitting by the campfire, talking and laughing. It was Jordan, Alex, Maya, Sarita and Bethany.

	"We won a flint in the initial reward challenge, so Alex, Maya, Jordan, Bethany and I all made a little campfire. It was a really great bonding experience for the five of us, and it felt like a little bit of a family within a family, so to speak."
SARITA
FORMER OLYMPIAN

"So you were in the olympics? Tell us about that! Were you in the U.S. when you were in the olympics?" Maya asked.

"I actually was born in Russia, but I moved to Ukraine when I was about ten." Sarita responded. "So I was actually on the Ukraine women's team for the 100 meters and the 110 meters hurdle events."

"Oh wow." Maya said. "That had to be so fun."

"It was." Sarita nodded. "I made lots of companions and friendships that will last for a lifetime."

"That's amazing." Jordan said. Sarita nodded in response.

"It has to be tough, coming from Russia to Ukraine, and then coming over here." Bethany said. "Like, just the cultural transition, it's gotta be crazy."

"It takes a while to get used to some things. There's a lot of little changes, like the currency and the metric system, so it takes a while to get used to that," Sarita said. "But everyone that I've met in this country has been very nice, and very supportive of me. It could've ended up much, much worse."

"That's good!" Bethany said. Sarita smiled in agreement.

	"Coming into this game, I wasn't really sure how I would be perceived by the other members of the tribe. I was worried that I would be an outcast because of my cultural differences. But the tribe, they've really been positive and accepting of me, and it just warms my heart a lot to see that happen." (wipes eyes) "I know that this is a game that is fueled by betrayal and hatred, but I think I may end up making some lifelong friends along the way. It's very unexpected."
SARITA
FORMER OLYMPIAN

"So obviously, I don't want to rush into things too quickly." Jordan told everyone. "But I think the five of us would make a really solid alliance."

"Between the five of us?" Alex asked.

"Yeah." Jordan nodded. "I think that as long as we just all stay true to our word, we could really ride this out."

"I'm down with that." Maya said. "We need a cool name though."

"Well, there's five of us." Bethany said. "We could be like the Faithful Five. It's kinda cheesy but it'll work."

"I like it." Alex nodded.

	"So I now have a brand new alliance called the Faithful Five. This alliance, it consists of myself, Alex, Bethany, Sarita and Maya. Now, assuming this alliance sticks together all the way through, that would leave Jessica, Scott, Carson, Micah and Nadine. So the second we lose an immunity challenge, one of those five is going to be the first to go, no questions asked."

Day 2[]

Powell Tribe[]

The camera showed off the tribe beach, where Fabian and Gabriel were attempting to get a fire started. The entire tribe (minus Victor) was hovering around the two, hoping the guys could get a bit of a flame going.

"Come on..." Gabriel said, furiously trying to get something to happen.

"Any luck?" Shonda asked.

"No..." Gabriel responded.

"You guys will get it. Maybe we need more sticks and stuff?" London asked. "We can go look for them if you want."

"It's worth a shot." Fabian said. "The three of us can go look."

"I'm good with that." Gabriel said. He, Fabian and London wandered into the forest.

	"So it's officially day two now! I'm really enjoying the game so far, I'm having a lot of fun. It sucks that we still don't have fire, because fire really does represent your life in this game. So I'm hoping we can get that going pretty soon, because otherwise, we're gonna be in for an extremely rough thirty-nine days."
LONDON
ZOOKEEPER

"Those sticks look pretty good, we could probably carry those back?" Fabian asked, pointing to a large pile of sticks laying in the grass.

"Sounds good." Gabriel nodded.

The three began carrying some wood and sticks back towards camp.

"Be careful with it." Fabian said. "You don't want to get hurt."

	"Right now, I'm in the all-female alliance with Brenda, Shonda, Kayla and Toni. And that's a great group of people, I like them a lot. But I'm also trying to build relationships with the guys as well, just to really keep my options open going forward in the game. I am a little bit of a tomboy, so I've always felt that I get along a little better with guys, just in general. So I really just want to feel everyone out, and then pick my allies based on what will be best for my game going forward."
LONDON
ZOOKEEPER

"So what do you guys think of the game so far?" Fabian asked Gabriel and London. "Really loving this tribe, it's great."

"Yeah, same here." London said. She smiled, but on the inside, the strategy wheels were turning and she was thinking about her next move.

Meanwhile, on the other side of camp, Victor was in the ocean trying to catch fish. Wielding a machete, the bouncer walked around the beach, looking for any animal to snatch and eat.

"Here, fishy fishy..." Victor said, sneaking through the ocean.

	"My name is Victor... but you might as well refer to me as the winner of Survivor: Barbados. I am not playing this game for second place. I am going to be sitting there at the end, and I'm gonna be a [expletive] millionaire." (laughs)
VICTOR
NIGHTCLUB BOUNCER

"What are you up to, Vic?" Shonda asked.

"I saw online that you can actually use a machete to catch fish. So I'm wandering around trying to find some." Victor replied.

"How long have you been out here?" Shonda asked.

"Four or five hours, give or take." Victor told her.

"Wait, for real?" Shonda asked.

"Yeah." Victor nodded. "It's strenuous, hard work, but I'm willing to make that sacrifice for the tribe."

"Well, did you find anything?" Shonda asked.

"Nope." Victor answered.

"...Oh." Shonda said.

	"My strategy right now in the game is just to be the fish guy. The guy who catches the fish, the guy who cooks the fish, and the guy who eats the majority of the fish. I have not caught anything yet, but as long as the rest of my stupid tribe believes I can catch fish, I think I'll be invaluable to the tribe, and they won't ever have the guts to vote me out. Add in a little bit of my social charm, and I'll basically be running this tribe like a [expletive] Italian mob boss."
VICTOR
NIGHTCLUB BOUNCER

"Well, just let me know if you catch something!" Shonda said.

"Will do!" Victor told her.

	"This Victor guy, he might just be the most delusional idiot I've ever met in my entire life. He spent hours upon hours trying to catch fish, and what do you know, he didn't even come back with a single thing. And on top of all that, he talks about how strenuous it is to go out there, and how he's sacrificing everything for the good of the tribe. Like, dude, the only thing you're sacrificing is my patience. I want this guy gone, like, yesterday. Goodbye, and send me a postcard when you get back home."

Campos Tribe[]

Maya and Scott were helping set up the shelter, laying bamboo in the shelter to sleep on.

"So wait, Scott, you said you're a former NFL coach, right? That's got to be so cool." Maya observed.

"It was so much fun. I absolutely loved getting to know the players. Everyone on TV, they see the players as players, but they don't get to see the players as real people." Scott said. "That's what I loved about it."

	"So, for those of you who don't know about me, I am Scott Wilson, and I coached in the NFL for seventeen years. I absolutely loved my job, and becoming a coach, it's easily one of my favorite accomplishments of my entire life. The team I was with reached the super bowl seven times, and we won four out of seven times. I have nothing but the utmost respect for the people that I've coached."
SCOTT
FORMER NFL COACH

Scott, Nadine and Micah could now be seen tending to the fire.

"We need a little more firewood." Nadine said.

"I'll grab it." Scott offered.

	"There was a part of me, coming into the game, that wanted to keep my occupation a secret. People could end up targeting me because I don't need the money. It could also entice them to not vote for me at the final tribal council. But, being a former sports coach is such a huge part of who I am as a person. By taking that away, you're taking away a part of my story and a part of, really, my entire personality. And I think that would be much more detrimental as opposed to the other castaways knowing the amount of money that I make."
SCOTT
FORMER NFL COACH

While Scott was away, Nadine and Micah could be seen talking.

"I'm glad we have Scott on our tribe. He's so helpful." Nadine said.

"Agreed." Micah nodded.

Now, Scott could be seen walking through the forest. He waved to Jessica.

	"Jessica and I, we formed an alliance on the very first day, and I do plan to stick with that. She is, without a doubt, the person that I trust the most on the tribe. I think she will help keep me safe, and so I'll do my best to repay the favor and keep her safe in this game. As long as we have each other, there might just be a little bit of hope for us two."
SCOTT
FORMER NFL COACH

Jessica and Scott were sitting at the beach talking strategy with one another.

"What do we want to do if we end up losing the challenge?" Scott asked.

"I think we're in a good spot right now, but we don't want to overplay and throw too many names out." Jessica said. "So I think we just go with the flow and follow along." Jessica said.

"Okay. That works for me." Scott said.

	"Tomorrow, we have our very first immunity challenge. I obviously hope that we'll win, but I always want to be prepared for the worst. So if we lose, I'm prepared to enter the 'as long as it ain't me' mode. If it means Scott and I staying safe, I will do my best to make sure someone else gets tossed under the bus."
JESSICA
REAL ESTATE AGENT

Jessica and Micah could now be seen talking by the beach.

"I think we could really work together." Jessica said. "We just have to make sure we can get past this first vote. Who would you want to vote out if we lost?"

"I don't really know, it's pretty early for that kind of discussion." Micah said.

"Well, just know that I have your back." Jessica told him.

"Thanks." Micah said.

	"Jessica... she just won't stop strategizing. It's very difficult to trust someone who's going behind your back every ten seconds. Every single person on this tribe is catching onto her and realizing what she's up to. If we lose the challenge tomorrow, I think that this woman is leaving herself wide open for a blindside."

Day 3[]

Powell Tribe[]

It was early morning on the Powell beach. Fabian, Gabriel, Jaylen and London were all relaxing by the beach. They were taking turns throwing rocks into the water and watching them skip across the waves.

"I am not good at this." Gabriel said.

"It's all in the wrist." London said. "What sports do you play?"

"Umm..." Gabriel thought for a second. "I mean, I play miniature golf sometimes."

Everyone laughed, including Gabriel.

	"So on this tribe, there's a little bit of a four-person alliance forming. It's myself, London, Fabian and Gabriel. I think that the four of us are good in challenges, and even more importantly, we just all have really similar personalities in that we're chill and we're all big fans of this game. You have to make alliances with other people if you want to have a lot of success in this game, and right now, this group is my alliance."
JAYLEN
BASKETBALL COACH

"We need like an alliance name, guys." Gabriel said. "Something for just for the four of us."

"We could be like the Battalion." Fabian said.

"I like that!" Gabriel said.

"Battalion it is." Jaylen said.

"It's a good name." London nodded.

	"The four of us, we are the Battalion, baby! I like this group a lot, and if we can get two more people that are willing to vote with us, we could claim control of this tribe and ride our way to the next stage of this game. As long as everybody stays calm and keeps together, this is going to be a great alliance, you can count on it."
FABIAN
ROCK CLIMBING INSTRUCTOR

The four members all fist-bumped one another. London was slightly worried as she fist-bumped the other guys.

	"As of right now, I'm in both the Femme Fatale alliance and the Battalion alliance, and that's a really powerful position to be in. I basically have the ability to choose which of my two alliances makes it further into this game. However, it's not without its risks. If I get caught playing both sides of the tribe, that could be my demise, so I have to play my cards really, really, really carefully right now."
LONDON

"So if we go to tribal, have you guys heard any names?" Gabriel asked.

"I think Victor would be the easiest choice." Jaylen said.

The camera cut to Victor sitting by the fire, burping loudly.

"I'd be good with that." London said. "I don't think anyone would stick their necks out for him. It could be an easy vote."

	"Since I'm playing both sides of the tribe, I want these sides to agree with each other as long as possible, so that I don't have to pick a side just yet. The longer that everyone thinks they have me as a number, the better it is for my game. If we lose this upcoming challenge, Victor's likely going to be biting the Survivor dust."

Immunity Challenge[]

"Come on in guys!" Jeff Probst yelled. One by one, the castaways came in and stepped onto their respective mats.

"Are you guys ready for your first immunity challenge of the season?" Jeff asked. Everyone nodded in agreement.

"For today's challenge, eight of you will hop into a boat and paddle out to sea, grabbing three bags from three marked buoys. You will then bring the bags back to the other two members of your tribe, who will untie the bags, and use the small sandbags inside to knock wooden blocks off of a table. First tribe to knock off all fifty of their blocks wins immunity. Losing tribe will have a date with me at tribal council, where someone will become the first person voted out of Survivor: Barbados." Jeff told them. "I'll give you a minute to strategize, and then we'll get started."

Immunity Challenge #1
Tribe	Paddlers	Tossers
Campos	Alex, Bethany, Carson, Jessica, Jordan, Maya, Nadine, Sarita	Micah, Scott
Powell	Brenda, Gabriel, Kayla, Leonard, London, Shonda, Toni, Victor	Fabian, Jaylen

The challenge began, and both tribes raced immediately into their boats and started paddling. Right away, Campos took a bit of a lead as they paddled in unison. Powell's boat, on the other hand, was drifting in all different directions, and nothing was happening correctly.

Campos got out deep into the ocean and headed for their first buoy. Powell was still trying to get their act together. Fabian and Jaylen, who could only watch their tribe struggle, looked disheartened.

As Powell finally got out into sea, Campos had just reached their first buoy and grabbed the first bag.

Campos paddled to their second buoy, and reached it just as Powell reached their first. The challenge continued to be uneven as Campos approached their third and final buoy.

Campos picked up their third buoy, and Powell hadn't even reached their second. Victor could now be seen yelling at his tribe to hurry up. Shonda was seen rolling his eyes in response.

Campos got back to shore, and Micah and Scott started throwing sandbags. Right away, they knocked off ten blocks from their stand.

Powell got to their second buoy, and began heading to their third.

Micah tossed, knocking six more blocks off of the table.

Powell could now be seen at their third buoy.

Scott and Micah both knocked four blocks off each, meaning that only twenty-six blocks remained.

Powell arrived at shore, and both Fabian and Jaylen raced to untie the bags. Meanwhile, Scott knocked nine more blocks off of his tribe's table.

Jaylen started throwing, and he knocked seven blocks off of his table. Campos now had seventeen blocks left compared to Powell's forty-three.

Micah knocked five blocks off for Campos, while Jaylen knocked off ten more.

Scott knocked off six more blocks, while Jaylen knocked off three. Campos had just six blocks left, while Powell still had thirty.

Fabian had a huge toss, knocking eleven blocks off for Powell. Scott knocked off two more, meaning Campos had just four to go.

Micah knocked one more block off his table; now, Campos had just three more.

Fabian knocked off six more blocks. Powell now had thirteen blocks left.

Scott knocked two more blocks off. Campos had just one block left.

Scott knocked the final block off, meaning that the winner of the challenge was...

"CAMPOS WINS IMMUNITY!" Jeff yelled. Micah and Scott hugged each other, and the rest of the tribe quickly joined in.

On the other hand, Victor stomped on the ground and cursed in frustration.

"[expletive] stupid..." Victor said, shaking his head.

"Campos, tribal immunity is yours. Nobody from your tribe going home tonight." Jeff told them, smiling.

"Powell, unfortunately, you guys will be meeting me at tribal council, where someone will become the first person voted out of Survivor: Barbados. Head back to camp, see you tonight at tribal."

As Powell could be seen gloomily walking away, Victor could be seen in his confessional.

	"The challenge performance that some of these girls displayed was absolutely laughable. I can't wait for tribal tonight, so we can get rid of some of this dead weight dragging down my team. I know you're not supposed to look forward to tribal, but the look on those girl's faces when I vote them out... it's going to be worth it. I'm taking out the axe, and I'm ready to take a swing."

NIGHTCLUB BOUNCER

Campos Tribe[]

After their victory, Campos walked into camp with smiles and joy all over their faces.

"Great job, you guys!" Bethany said. "Two challenges in a row!"

"Yeah, we're killing it." Maya said.

	"Winning the challenge just felt absolutely incredible! Having a numbers advantage over the opposing tribe is super important in this game, because you don't want to be down in numbers going into any kind of twist. And so I'm really glad that we were able to secure a victory, and now we all get to make it at least three days further in this game."
BETHANY
MEDICAL STUDENT

Maya could be seen wandering into the woods. Looking around, she realized she was in the clear, and she begun looking for the idol.

	"Winning the challenge was extraordinary! But the game is always happening, so while everyone was celebrating, I decided that it would be a good time to look for the hidden immunity idol. Even though I am in a five-person majority alliance, you can never really be too safe in this game. So finding an idol has become my number one priority."
MAYA
NBA CHEERLEADER

Maya approached a large oak tree, and she immediately began to investigate it.

"Maybe it's around here..." Maya said.

	"I've watched enough Survivor to know that the idols are usually hidden in the weird-looking stuff. So I'm immediately investigating this tree, because I just have a gut feeling that something is hidden in here."
MAYA
NBA CHEERLEADER

While Maya was looking for anything, Jessica approached her from behind.

	"So I'm running to the water well, and I see Maya searching this tree like a raccoon digging through the trash. Immediately, I figured out exactly what's going on, she's looking for an idol."
JESSICA
REAL ESTATE AGENT

Jessica could now be seen turning her eyes away from Maya and towards a small and neatly packaged-up advantage.

	"As I'm secretly watching Maya, out of the corner of my eye, I see this little advantage all officially packaged up. And so I now need to get to this advantage before Maya can get her hands on it."
JESSICA
REAL ESTATE AGENT

While Maya was up in the tree and not looking in Jessica's direction, Jessica snuck up around the tree and grabbed the mysterious advantage. Jessica then quickly darted away before Maya could see her.

Hiding in the woods, with no one in sight, Jessica unwrapped her advantage and read it aloud.

"Oh my gosh..." Jessica said, covering her mouth. "Congratulations, you have found a clue to the location of the hidden immunity idol. Attached to this clue is a picture of where you can find the idol."

Jessica unwrapped the drawing and studied it. It showed a certain spot on the beach.

"Perfect." Jessica said, enthusiastically smiling.

	"Everyone is laying on the beach right now, so I can't go look for this idol just yet. But the second I get the opportunity, I'm going to make sure that the idol is mine for the taking. It's going to take stealth and it's going to be a risk, but that's what Survivor is all about. I'm going to do everything I can to get my hands on that hidden immunity idol."

Powell Tribe[]

The camera transitioned from the Campos members celebrating to the Powell tribe, which was dreadfully sitting around, anticipating tribal council. The camera now transitioned to Victor, who was lying around in the sand, yawning.

	"One loss is bad, but two losses in a row is absolutely unacceptable. I didn't play Survivor to be on that tribe that does nothing around camp and loses every single challenge. This is sure as [expletive] not the game I agreed to play. Things have got to change around here, and they've got to change fast."
VICTOR
NIGHTCLUB BOUNCER

"Guys!" Victor yelled. "I'd like to have a tribe meeting, if that's okay."

No one listened to him, so Victor grabbed two pots and started banging them together.

"TRIBE MEETING!" Victor yelled.

"Jesus..." Shonda said, covering her ears. She, along with everyone else on the tribe, gathered on the beach with Victor.

"So I gathered you guys here, because we need to talk about this challenge performance. It was absolutely pathetic, to say the least." Victor told them.

"Well-" Toni began.

"I'm not done yet," Victor cut her off, causing Toni to roll her eyes. "Now I mean this in the nicest way possible, but you girls were completely the reason we lost. I'm not sure if any of you have ever even paddled a boat before, let alone even entered the water before. You all looked like a bunch of kids learning how to ride a tricycle. That's why I think it's only fair to vote off one of you girls tonight. I don't care which one of you it is, but it needs to be one of you."

Everyone on Powell looked at one another in pure disbelief.

	"So Victor calls everyone to have a tribe meeting, but instead of having an actual civilized discussion, he proceeds to throw the five girls all under the bus. Last time I checked, we are a tribe that wins together and loses together. The guy is a complete and total hypocrite, and if I have anything to say about, he's going home tonight."
TONI
COFFEE SHOP OWNER

	"Here's my Victor imitation." (clears throat, and then begins to speak in a manly douche accent) "Now, now, no offense, but you girls all suck, and you're totally the reason we lost the challenge, and I am going to vote you all out one by one. No offense though!" (clears throat again, and returns to her normal accent) "... dumbass."
SHONDA
POKER PLAYER

Brenda, London and Kayla could now be seen by the water well talking strategy.

"Tonight should be pretty easy." Kayla said.

"Yeah." London said. "Honestly, I cannot stand Victor. Good riddance."

"Mm hmm." Kayla said. "And once he's gone, we can just pick off Fabian, Gabriel and Jaylen one by one."

"I think that's a great idea." Brenda said.

"Yeah, I do too." Kayla nodded. "We can absolutely make this happen if we want it to."

"I'm all for it." London said.

	"The amount of girl power on this tribe is stunning and beautiful. Us females are controlling this entire tribe of ten, and the five guys, they don't even realize it. We are going to be the next Black Widow Brigade, and those guys won't even know what hit them. I just hope that if this is the Black Widow Brigade, that I get to be Parvati." (giggles)
KAYLA
ONLINE BLOGGER

"So we're all good to vote Victor?" London asked.

"I believe so." Brenda said. "It seems like an easy choice, wouldn't you say?"

"Absolutely." London said.

	"This vote was supposed to be really easy, but now I'm stuck in a rock and a hard place. Kayla wants to make a move on my other alliance if we lose another challenge, and I'm honestly not sure if I'm down with that. I don't want that to happen. The guys, they've made me feel way more included than the girls ever have. And now I'm starting to rethink my entire gameplan up to this point."
LONDON
ZOOKEEPER

London and Fabian were talking on the beach.

"So I need to tell you something." London told Fabian. "Kayla told me by the well that after we vote out Victor, she's setting her eyes on you, Gabe and Jaylen."

"[expletive]. No way." Fabian said, covering his mouth.

"Yeah." London told him.

"[expletive]." Fabian shook his head. "She said this to you just now by the well?"

"Yeah." London nodded.

"What do we do?" Fabian asked.

"I don't know, that's what I'm trying to ask you." London said.

"I think Gabriel and Jaylen need to know about this." Fabian said.

	"Tonight's vote was supposed to be simple and unanimous. But now London is telling me that Kayla is throwing not only my name out there, but the names of almost all of my alliance members. To me, that's absolutely unacceptable, those guys, they're my family in this game. My strategy was to lay low and not make moves early on, but it might be time for a female to get blindsided tonight."
FABIAN
ROCK CLIMBING INSTRUCTOR

Fabian and London approached Gabriel and Jaylen. The four of them hopped onto the bed in the shelter and quickly started talking.

"We don't have a lot of time, but we gotta talk." Fabian told them. "I think there's a snake in this tribe. Kayla is plotting to get us out the next time we lose a challenge."

"Holy cow." Gabriel said. "That's not good. Who all would be in on this?"

"It would be Brenda, Toni, Kayla and Shonda." London said.

	"Those girls, man, you cannot trust them for a second. They're playing a cutthroat game, a game that we might have to put an end to tonight. Kayla especially is leading the whole pack of snakes, and so she has to meet her end. Thankfully we have London to give us this information, because without her, we would have been smoked. Now it's time for us guys to plan a possible attack on these women before they get the chance to attack us."
GABRIEL
COMPUTER PROGRAMMER

"Which one of the girls do you all think is the most dangerous?" Jaylen asked.

"I think Kayla is the most dangerous." London said. "She's a feminist blogger, like, she's all in for this girl power stuff."

"And so if we can cut the head off of the snake right now, their whole little kingdom will come crashing down." Jaylen responded.

"Yeah. So if we were to vote for Kayla tonight, we would still need two more votes." Gabriel said.

"It's gotta be Victor and Leonard, right?" Fabian said.

"There's no way any of the other girls are flipping on Kayla." London said. "So we have to convince Victor and Leonard to vote with us."

"That's the plan then." Jaylen said.

As the sky turned darker and darker overhead, Fabian and Jaylen could now be seen talking with Victor.

"What's the plan? We're doing one of the girls, right?" Victor asked.

"I think we're going to blindside Kayla tonight." Fabian responded.

"Okay." Victor nodded. "I'm fine with that.

"Cool." Fabian said, fist-bumping Victor and Jaylen.

Now, Fabian could be seen talking with Leonard.

"What are we doing tonight?" Leonard asked. "We're doing Victor, right?"

"We need to keep this very, very under wraps but... I think Kayla needs to go tonight." Fabian said.

Leonard's jaw dropped.

"Really?" Leonard asked, surprised.

"Yeah." Fabian nodded.

"Why are we not going after Victor though?" Leonard asked. "Like, why would we leave him in the game, he's a horrible person."

"Because we can't wait to make a move." Fabian explained. "If we wait too long, they will vote us all out one by one."

Leonard nodded.

"I- I think Victor needs to go first though." Leonard said. "I don't think we should vote off Kayla. Not right now. The timing just isn't right for this to happen."

	"I just learned from Fabian that Kayla is now a possible target. I thought we were looking at a simple vote on a single person, with that person being Victor. But that doesn't seem to be the case anymore, and I'm very worried for my safety tonight. I don't... I don't know what I'm supposed to do."
LEONARD
COLLEGE PROFESSOR

"I just don't see why we're voting off someone who's not Victor." Leonard said.

Fabian, trying to think of a way to persuade Leonard, came up with a lie on the spot.

"Look... Kayla is playing this whole tribe. She told me that after Victor gets voted out, she and her alliance are going after you." Fabian said, trying to keep a straight face.

"Oh my god." Leonard said, his mouth hanging open.

"Yeah." Fabian said. "That's why we have to vote her out now."

"I mean, I'm fine with it. Are the numbers there?" Leonard asked.

"I think we can make them there." Fabian said.

"Okay." Leonard nodded.

The english professor could now be seen crying a little in his confessionals. He was wiping his eyes, but it was hard to hold all of the tears back.

	"I thought that maybe Kayla and I had a trusting relationship, so to here that she's throwing my name out there, it just..." (sniffles) "...makes me realize that you can't trust anyone in this game. These people are willing to do whatever it takes to win the million dollars, so maybe I need to start adopting that same mindset. Nice guys in this game will finish last, so I'm done being the nice guy."
LEONARD
COLLEGE PROFESSOR

Now, as the sun began to set, London and Brenda were talking over their plan.

"So we're all set to go for Victor?" Brenda asked.

"Yes," London nodded. "It should be easy, at least as easy as things can be in this game."

"Good to hear." Brenda nodded. "I really like our little group."

"I do as well." London said.

	"Brenda and I are having a really good and genuine conversation, and she's just such a sweet and honest person. And now in my head, I'm starting to flip-flop again. I'm worried that by voting out Kayla, I could be making a horrible mistake. And now I'm not sure what I'm supposed to do. I'm legitimately losing my mind right now, I'm really going off the rails right now. Now I might have to switch the vote back to Victor. I... I don't know..."
LONDON
ZOOKEEPER

London and Leonard could now be seen strategizing in the woods.

"Okay, what is the vote tonight?" Leonard asked.

"I don't know, I think it's looking like four votes for Victor and four votes for Kayla, not including us." London said.

"Then whoever we vote for would go home." Leonard said.

"Yeah." London said.

"I think we need to keep it easy and vote out Victor." Leonard said. "It's the simplest thing to do."

"I don't know... I'm really torn." London said.

"Well, we have to make a choice within the next five minutes." Leonard said.

"Yeah..." London said, biting her lip.

	"Tonight's tribal council is bound to be one of the craziest things I've ever witnessed in my entire life. Dreams will be shattered, hearts will be broken, it's not going to be pretty. And I'm just hoping it won't be my name written down."
LEONARD
COLLEGE PROFESSOR

The ten members of Powell grabbed torches and headed off to tribal.

	(buries face in shirt) "I honestly don't know what to do. Like my brain and my heart are moving me in two separate directions. I didn't want to play the game in a way that involved lying to everyone on the tribe, but here I am. Someone's going to be voted out tonight because of me, and that's a really hard thing for me to think about. I just hope that I'm making the decision that's going to put me in the right direction to win a million dollars."
LONDON
ZOOKEEPER

As they walked to tribal, there was a distinct, noticeable pattern. Brenda, Shonda, Toni and Kayla were all walking together, while Fabian, Gabriel and Jaylen were all bundled together as well.

	"Even though this is only the first tribal council, I feel like whoever I choose to side with, this will affect the rest of my entire Survivor journey. This decision, it's not going to be something that I can just pick and be done with. I have to lay down, map out the pros, map out the cons, and make a calculated decision regarding who should go home. This is not going to be easy."

Tribal Council[]

Jeff Probst could be seen eyeing the contestants as one by one, the members of Powell walked into tribal council for the very first time.

"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 ritual of Tribal Council because in this game, fire represents your life. As long as you have fire, you're still in the game. Once your fire is gone, so are you, and that will be the case for one of you here tonight." Jeff told them. Everyone completed his instructions and sat down.

"All right, first tribal council of the season, always exciting. Jaylen, what was the feeling when you first got to Barbados on day one of this game?" Jeff asked.

"Honestly, Jeff, it was pure excitement. I have wanted to play this game for a long time, so to get that opportunity, it's just, there's not even words for it." Jaylen responded.

"London, it was you and Jaylen on the initial reward challenge. You both tried your hardest and yet you couldn't get it done. Did that put a bit of a damper on the beginning of this game?" Jeff asked.

"Obviously I was sad that I let the team down, but I don't think we let the early loss put a damper on us," London responded. "I think we were all so happy to be here playing this game together, and so that ultimately outshined everything else."

"All right, so you guys all seemed to settle in pretty well. Brenda, do you think that alliances have already begun to form within the tribe?" Jeff asked.

"I don't know if I would say alliances have formed, but there's people that I have clicked very well with, and so those people would be the people I would be the most likely to vote with in the future." Brenda responded.

"Fabian, would you say you agree with Brenda?" Jeff asked.

Fabian nodded in response.

"Yeah. Yeah, I would agree with that." Fabian said, continuing to nod.

"So let's fast forward a bit to the challenge today. Victor, I could see frustration all over your face when I announced that Campos won immunity," Jeff said. "Am I incorrect when I say that you were very upset?"

"You would be absolutely correct," Victor agreed. "What frustrated me is that we had three guys who all appeared to know what they were doing, and then five girls who looked about as clumsy as a group of drunk baboons."

Toni rolled her eyes.

"Toni, I saw an eye roll." Jeff said.

"Drunk baboons? Come on now. This was a team challenge, and I think it's unfair to put all of the blame on us girls just because some of us are physically weaker." Toni said.

"Shonda-" Jeff began.

"Can I say something?" Victor interrupted.

Jeff outstretched his arms.

"The floor is yours." Jeff told him.

"I don't see how blaming the weak people is unfair." Victor said. "This is a game that is based off of winning challenges. You girls were all weak, and we lost the challenge. So how is it not fair, how is not logical, to vote one of you out? How is it-"

"Because we're not weak, Victor," Kayla said. "We all tried our best, and I think that heart-"

"Don't interrupt me." Victor said.

"But you just-" Kayla began again.

"What part of 'don't interrupt me' did you not interpret?" Victor asked. "Anyway, Jeff, you're the question asker, so why don't you ask something else?"

"So, Gabriel-" Jeff began.

"You know what, Kayla?" Victor said, cutting off Jeff once again. This caused Fabian, Toni, Leonard, Gabriel and Shonda to all start smiling and shaking their heads in disbelief. Even Jeff couldn't hold back a bit of a smile.

"You talk about how the girls are so strong, and yet how many times have you girls gone fishing?" Victor asked.

"Victor, how many fish have you caught since the game started?" Kayla asked.

"That wasn't the question." Victor shot back.

Shonda and Toni shot each other looks.

For a minute, the entire tribe just sat there silently. All of a sudden, breaking the silence, Leonard got up and whispered in London's ear. The two started talking quietly. The entire tribe had their eyes turned toward the two of them.

"Yes." London said.

"Okay." Leonard said, going back to his seat.

"What the [expletive]..." Kayla said. She stood up, walked over to Leonard, and the two of them started whispering to each other.

"Wow." Jeff Probst said, his hand over his mouth. Kayla and Leonard both looked at each other and nodded, and shortly after, Kayla returned to her seat.

"Gabriel, what's your reaction to seeing all this whispering and chit-chat?" Jeff asked.

"It's a little unnerving. I just have to put trust in everyone and hope everything works out." Gabriel said, gulping nervously.

"All right, well, it is time to vote." Jeff said. "Brenda, you're up first."

Brenda walked up to the voting booth and wrote on her parchment. Her vote was not shown.

Jaylen was next. His vote was not revealed either.

Gabriel walked up and wrote a name down. His vote, like the two before, remained a secret.

Toni was the next person up, and her vote was kept a surprise.

Shonda was the fifth to vote. She wrote down Victor's name in big, capital letters.

	"Didn't your mom teach you any matters? Actually, I'm guessing not. Goodbye." (winks)
SHONDA
(VOTING FOR VICTOR)

Fabian was up next. He sighed, grabbed the pen, and voted. His vote was not revealed.

London was next. Her vote was not shown either.

Kayla was the eighth person voting. She wrote down Victor's name and held it up.

	You're rude, sexist, and I just can't stand you. Maybe you should read a book on how to actually talk to people. Thanks for making this vote an easy one.
KAYLA
(VOTING FOR VICTOR)

Victor was ninth to vote. The name he wrote down was not shown.

Lastly, Leonard walked over to the booth and wrote down a name. This name was not shown either. He dropped his parchment into the voting urn and walked back into his seat.

"I'll go tally the votes." Jeff told the tribe as he walked away to get the urn. He soon returned and placed the urn right in front of him.

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

Everyone looked around at one another. No one stood up.

"Okay, once the votes are read, the decision is final. Person voted out will be asked to leave the tribal council area immediately. I'll read the votes." Jeff told everyone.

.

VICTOR. (1)

Victor laughed in response to seeing his name written down.

.

KAYLA. (1-1)

Kayla raised her eyebrows, somewhat surprised to see her name written down.

.

VICTOR. (2-1)

.

VICTOR. (3-1)

The girls looked each other, smiling, while Victor began to worry slightly.

.

VICTOR. (4-1)

.

KAYLA. (4-2)

Now Kayla was visibly shocked. She looked around at the guys, trying to read their faces. She bit her lip and looked at the other girls, who all looked very confused.

.

KAYLA. (4-3)

.

KAYLA. (4-4)

.

KAYLA. (5-4)

Kayla's head collapsed into her hands.

"No [expletive] way, you guys..." Kayla said. Brenda, Shonda and Toni all exchanged looks of horror and disgust. They all now turned their attention to London, who wouldn't make eye contact with them.

.

First person voted out of Survivor: Barbados...

.

KAYLA. (6-4)

"Oh my god, you guys." Kayla said. "I didn't even bring my stuff or anything, you guys!"

Kayla got up and hugged Brenda, Shonda and Toni. Leonard went to hug her as well, but Kayla walked right past him and grabbed her torch. She threw it down and placed it right in front of Jeff.

"Kayla, the tribe has spoken." Jeff told her.

"So stupid." Kayla rolled her eyes, and walked away into the distance.

"Well, that was a CRAZY first tribal council for you guys. If this tribal council is a sign of what the rest of the season will be like, well, let's just say this is going to be a wild ride. But right now, what you guys should do is start winning, so grab your torches and head back to camp." Jeff told them.

The outro music began to play and the credits began to roll as the nine contestants walked back to their camp, and the camera slowly faded out, turning to black.

Final Words[]

	I'm honestly in so much shock right now. I don't know what happened or why I was voted out, I mean, Victor was so obnoxious! But honestly, I don't regret anything about the way that I played this game. I wasn't afraid to be myself, and I think that the worst thing you can do on Survivor is be someone else aside from yourself! Obviously things didn't exactly work out for me, but I made a lot of good friendships, and it was just an overall great experience.

Next Time on Survivor...[]

After a crazy tribal council, a line appears to be drawn in the sand.

"We have the power right now." Fabian said. "Battalion, baby!"

"They're going to pick us off one by one!" Brenda yelled in her confessional, tears pouring down her eyes.

But one lie could send an entire alliance crumbling into pieces.

"He manipulated my emotions, and I don't respect that. He needs to go." Leonard furiously demanded.

And on Campos, Jessica begins the idol hunt.

"That hidden immunity idol is mine." Jessica stated in her confessional.

While the rest of the tribe begins hunting Jessica.

"It might be her time to have her torch snuffed." Jordan said.
