Night 21[]

Everyone arrives back at camp following tribal council. T.P., Scott, Jay and Tree head off to the beach.

“	For the second time this game I was shocked at the outcome of a tribal I went to. I need to figure out what happened.	”
–T.P.

Wow. What happened?- T.P.

Somebody flipped.- Tree

I think it was Scott.- Jay

Oh yeah you're so quick to blame me. I bet it was you.- Scott

It wan't me. Besides, you're the one who doesn't ever seem to have a side he is on.- Jay

Says the guy that was a swing vote most of time.- Scott

ENOUGH. It doesn't matter who it was. We need a way out of this now.- T.P.

The girls may appear unified but there are cracks.- Tree

How are you so sure?- Scott

They look pretty unified to me.- Jay

I can assure you they aren't.- Tree

If Tree is right then we can get one of them to come to us and turn this around.- T.P.

I'll go back to camp and maybe talk with one of them see if I can get something from them. Jay come on.- Scott

Okay.- Jay

“	Tree is up to something. I can't put on him that is was him but I have my suspicions.	”
–Scott

Scott and Jay head back to camp.

I honestly wouldn't be surprised if it was Scott.- T.P.

Would you be mad if I said it was me.- Tree

I would be very...wait. What?- T.P.

That's how I'm sure. Zaya and Audi, I am sure are not fully with a girls alliance.- Tree

"Wow. I am very surprised. One, you switched. Two, Zaya seems like the leader.- T.P.

Well, that's what I know.- Tree

Keep this away from Scott. I still don't trust him.- T.P.

Alright.- Tree

“	I am very surprised to that it was Tree but I can't be mad at him. I trust him dearly. I appreciate that he was honest and came forth. I just hope I'm not putting my faith in nothing.	”
–T.P.

Day 22[]

Buenos Iris[]

Zaya, Sara, and Nikki are off in the forest.

Well that went well.- Nikki

Something is up.- Sara

Does it matter. We now have a numbers advantage.- Zaya

Yeah we do.- Nikki

Who do you think flipped?- Sara

I don't know.- Zaya

I bet it was Jay. He looks like he has always been on the outs.- Nikki

He does. I wouldn't put it past him.- Sara

You want to ask him?- Zaya

Yeah. I'm gonna ask him if I ever get a chance if he wants to vote Tree with us this time.- Nikki

Wait. We have not decided it is Tree yet.- Sara

We should also have a back up plan.- Zaya

The back up plan can be Jay. Jay is a seriously good competitor.- Nikki

Are you sure we shouldn't switch them? Jay first then Tree for a back up.- Sara

No, Tree has shown he can win a challenge and Jay it looks like can be manipulated.- Nikki

I think Jay should go over Tree.- Zaya

Tree is much more threatening.- Nikki

So are we settled.- Sara

For now.- Zaya

I'll go tell Kristie. Sara, want to come?- Nikki

Sure.- Sara

“	No. Not Tree yet. I need to get Nikki off of voting Tree. Maybe he can win immunity next time. I should come up with my own back up plan.	”
–Zaya

Nikki and Sara leave to go find Kristie. Zaya to goes and finds Audi

Audi, I need to tell you something.- Zaya

Go ahead. I was going to say we should vote Scott next.- Audi

Nikki want Tree next.- Zaya

What? Didn't he vote with us?- Audi

I believe so. What are we going to do if she sticks with it.?- Zaya

Well first we should talk to Tree and make sure he is with us.- Audi

Okay, then what?- Zaya

That depends on....wait why am I the one thinking of what we are going to do?- Audi

I felt you should have a turn for a while.- Zaya

Ha. Ha.- Audi

Let's go talk to Tree.- Zaya

Alright.- Audi

Zaya and Audi head back to camp where Tree is laying in the shelter."

Hey Tree, get up.- Zaya

I am up.- Tree

We want to ask you something.- Audi

Alright, let me sit up.- Tree

Tree sits up and looks at Zaya and Audi.

Oh, hey Zaya. Hey Audi. What did you want to ask?- Tree

Did you vote with us last night?- Zaya

Yes. Why?- Tree

Nikki wants you next.- Audi

Seriously.- Tree

She says if you don't get immunity she wants you.- Zaya

Dang. Can you do something about it?- Tree

We can try.- Audi

Thanks.- Tree

“	Since Tree is with us we need to get Nikki off of voting him out. This is getting crazy.	”
–Zaya

Buenos Iris Night[]

Sara and Jay are out of the shelter.

Hey Jay, I want to tell you something.- Sara

What is it?- Jay

Do you know who voted Totolax besides the girls?- Sara

If you're implying anything, I'm not joining you. I think it was Scott. Go wake him up if you want.- Jay

Oh please. Scott wanted us out the second we got here. I seriously doubt it was him.- Sara

Well I can say this, It wasn't me. Now I'm going to bed.- Jay

Well good night.- Sara

Hey.- Tree

Hey, do you know their next target?- Scott

What good will it be to know who is next?- Jay

They can win immunity and force a back up plan.- T.P.

True.- Scott

So what good will it do?- Jay

I'm sure we would be able to think of something.- Tree

Yeah. It's not over for us just yet.- T.P.

Reward Location[]

Nikki, Jay and T.P. are hanging around an outside movies theater setting.

Hey can I talk to you for a minute?- Nikki

Sure, what about?- Jay

I want to take out Tree next but Zaya doesn't seem to want to. Would you guys want to join me in taking Tree out?- Nikki

Tree has been there for me since the beginning. I'm out of the discussion to vote him out.- T.P.

I'm with T.P. I would never want to do something against Tree.- Jay

Why not? He is great at challenges.- Nikki

It's a personal thing. I don't wish to vote him out.- T.P.

I really think you should join me in this.- Nikki

We have made our decision.- Jay

I honestly think it would be a mistake not to take him out now.- Nikki

Well what can you do? You don't have me and Jay. Tree can't vote himself and Zaya didn't seem up to it.- T.P.

You can talk to Scott.- Jay

I hate that dude so much. Plus I'm sure he would not go for it.- Nikki

Well there you have it. Now, we have a night away from this game. Let's enjoy it.- T.P.

“	Nikki is targeting Tree. I have to tell him when we get back.	”
–Jay

“	It boggles me that no one wants Tree gone but he is the biggest threat out here in this game.	”
–Nikki

Buenos Iris Night[]

Zaya and Audi are sitting outside the shelter.

Well it appears Nikki really wants Tree gone.- Zaya

Yeah, What should we do?- Audi

If Tree doesn't win immunity we may have to blindside her.- Zaya

That's going to be just as hard.- Audi

I know, I've been close with her since the beginning and you have been close to her since day 10.- Zaya

Are we sure we want to keep out deal with Tree.- Audi

I really want to keep it a little longer.- Zaya

I hope Tree wins so we can go after someone else.- Audi

Scott who had been awake but laying still finally gets up and goes over to Zaya and Audi.

What's up?- Scott

We were just talking about what we are going to do tomorrow.- Zaya

It's not that big of a deal.- Audi

Well can I hear it?- Scott

Well it was kind of only between me and Audi.- Zaya

Whatever. You guys go and continue talking I'll worry about more important things.- Scott

Later.- Audi

“	They were talking about what if Tree doesn't win immunity. I just have to make that happen. Don't I?	”
–Scott

“	Scott knows something he isn't telling us. I hope he doesn't make our discussion harder.	”
–Zaya

Buenos Iris[]

The tribe gets back to camp following Scott's win at the challenge. Sara, Nikki, and Kristie head off into the woods. Zaya and Audi head to the beach while the rest stay at the shelter.

Nice win Scott.- T.P.

Those were something else.- Jay

We need to decide now on our target.- Scott

I think we should go Nikki again.- Tree

I agree. She is strong in challenges and she almost beat Scott.- T.P.

She is definitely a threat.- Jay

Now we are all good on voting Nikki.- Scott

Yes.- Tree

Yeah.- T.P.

“	So my plan is working perfectly. Tree didn't win immunity so the girls are going for him. Undivided is coming back and we are hitting hard.	”
–Scott

Tree heads off to the beach.

I know you don't want but I think we have to.- Zaya

Are you sure it is not too late to talk her out of it.- Audi

I'm sure. Audi please.- Zaya

Just cause Scott won doesn't mean we can't talk her out of it.- Audi

She whispered in my ear that she was doing it.- Zaya

I guess your right but I really don't want to.- Audi

I know. I don't either.- Zaya

Tree arrives from camp.

I just wanted to tell you two that the guys are voting Nikki.- Tree

Okay, thanks Tree.- Zaya

No problem. I am in a final 3 deal with you two after all so I have to look out for you and keep you informed on what I know.- Tree

You know Nikki is wanting you gone.- Audi

Jay told me when they got back."- Tree

Okay.- Audi

Well I'm gonna head back to camp.- Tree

Later.- Zaya

“	This is so difficult. I have such a hard discussion to make. Zaya and I promised to vote the same so I have to decide what I want to do.	”
–Audi

“	If all goes well. Nikki will be gone but if not. Goodbye Argentina.	”
–Tree

Tribal Council[]

The tribe arrive at tribal, placing their torches behind them before taking a seat.

“	Welcome to tribal council. Scott, you have immunity. Do you feel like you needed it?	”
–Jeff Probst

With five girls and 4 boys, I definitely think I needed it.- Scott

T.P. "What did you make of last tribal?- Jeff Probst

Well, we were all shocked at what happened but the men came together and realized we need something to stay alive in this game.- T.P.

Kristie, is the old La Plata tribe all united in saying 'Let's get rid of all the boys and have an all girls final five.'?- Jeff Probst

I believe so we thank whoever voted with us but you still have to go.- Kristie

It's kind of funny because Scott tried to throw us out the first night we got to their camp.- Nikki

I still want to.- Scott

Zaya, is there any hope for the guys to get back into this game?- Jeff Probst

There very well could be.- Zaya

Tree, do you feel safe tonight?- Jeff Probst

I honestly never feel safe.- Tree

Nikki, How about you? Do you feel safe?- Jeff Probst

I think the only way in this game to be absolutely sure you are safe is to have that necklace Scott is wearing.- Nikki

Nobody is ever for sure safe unless they have immunity. Anything can happen.- Jay

Sara, does what Jay saying about anything can happen make you nervous about the vote?- Jeff Probst

I am always nervous that a plan backfires and someone is blindsided.- Sara

We'll it is now time to vote. T.P., you're up first.- Jeff Probst

T.P. gets up, heads to the urn, and votes. He is followed by the rest of the tribe ending with Sara.

“	I'll go tally the votes.	”
–Jeff Probst

Jeff heads off, grabs the urn, and comes back.

“	Once the votes have been read the decision is final. Person voted out will be asked to leave the tribal council area immediately. I'll read the vote.	”
–Jeff Probst

–Jeff Probst

Nikki stays sitting in shock.
Jeff, "Nikki, bring me your torch."
Nikki gets up, grabs her torch and walks to Jeff.
Nikki, "Wow."
Jeff, "Nikki, the tribe has spoken. It is time for you to go."
Nikki walks out of tribal and into the night.

“	By her look and the look of other. This was yet another blindside for this tribe. If anything is to learn, immunity is the only thing that can for sure keep you safe. Grab your stuff and head back to camp. Good night.	”
