Previously on Survivor:

The 5 women wanted the last man, Erik out. They started scheming and concocting a plan. But then Erik won immunity. The fans believe they can now stick together in an alliance and vote out their biggest threat. Amanda!
Cirie is still tight with Amanda & Parvati but feels she must vote with the fans.
At tribal council, Amanda tore into Erik. I helped you stay here through the merge and then asked for your help. You turned your back on me.
When Jeff ask if anyone wants to play the hidden idol;
Amanda dug into her bag, pulled out the idol and started swinging it while she walked toward Jeff.

Idol, Idol, on a rope,
Yes I’ll play you,
I’m no dope.

The tribe is stunned. All 4 votes for Amanda are void. The next highest total is Alexis with 2.
Jeff gushes; this has been the biggest blindside so far.
Alexis is sent home. 5 are left. Who will be sent home tonight?

Dabu, night 33, mud cave

Amanda is explaining that she did not have the Hidden Immunity Idol when she came back from exile. I got it afterward.
Cirie: Tribal Council is getting dangerous. The idol is floating around. People are using them and not using them. But Amanda is very good. She almost had me to vote a tie. I think that’s what she needed to know she could trust me.
Cirie ask if they want her to start a fire. Parvati says you can do that in the dark?
She grabs the machete, pulls the flint across it and sparks a fire.
Well yes Parvati, she can start a fire.

Dabu, day 34

Natalie has slept outside on the boat. Erik wakes her up babbling, they took out Alexis. You know if Parvati and Cirie are smart, they would take out Amanda now. She’s very popular with the jury.
Natalie yawns, stretches, and adds; you would be crazy to take her to the final three.
I want her gone Nat. She was mean to me last night.
One of us has to, has to, has to find the idol.
I have to win immunity. I’m gone if I don’t.
If I win, no, I have to win. I have to win immunity.
If you win, send me, states Natalie. If I win do you want me to send you?
I don’t want to go, but at this point I have to. One of us needs to win immunity.
Yes, send me if you win states Erik.

Erik walks off talking to himself. I need to weigh the pros and cons of the different choices in this game. Nothing is set in stone. I still have time to decide. Everything is still moving and evolving. I don’t trust anybody in this game. But I do need to choose a side.

Snow-White and Snow-Black and the Seven Jurors

Once upon a time a king lived on an island world. He would stand before his mirror and state:

Mirror, mirror on the wall,
Who’s the most loved one of all?

The mirror always answered; O King EPMB, thou art the most loved of all.

And the king was content, because he knew the mirror could speak nothing but the truth.

But as the season of Micronesia: Fans vs. Favorites progressed the mirror answered something else.

O King EPMB, though loved ye be, Snow-White Erik is more loved than thee.

The King was horrified.
How can this be? And from that moment envy and pride grew in his heart like weeds.

How can a fan be more loved than me?
I created this show for CBS TV.
A curse on you fans, you will see.
From this day forward you will be:
Snow-White Erik and Snow-Black Natalie.
I will send my huntsman to eat you alive,

Amanda Doe Eyes will bring me your beating hearts at the turn of the tide.

Dabu, Day 34, mud cave

Amanda Doe Eyes only has the help of Jurors Doc Cirie and Sleepy Parvati.
Doc is plotting with Doe Eyes and Sleepy. If we want to make it to the final three we need to get rid of Snow-White Erik. That’s what I’m thinking, adds Doe Eyes. Sleepy also says Snow-white or Snow-Black Nat can’t go to Exile. They can’t get the idol.
Amanda tells us in a confessional that she pretty much trusts Doc Cirie. She proved herself.
I trust my girls again. We need to work together to send Erik and Nat home.
Doc Cirie comes up with a plan. Whoever gets to Snow-White Erik first controls him.
If Doe Eyes could get into his head and convince him she forgives him, he would do what ever she says.
You can tell him to send Sleepy to Exile.

Amanda Doe Eyes meets Snow-White Erik on the beach while they are looking for coconuts.
Hey Erik, what do you think? And he tells her a lot of what he thinks. I’m looking for the next reward.
I think its food. I want to eat.

If you take me, I’ll take you.
She smiles at Erik.

He starts to shake.
I think we should hook up and battle against the odds. You are the best physical player while I’m the best strategic player. We could take this far. If we lose a challenge we’re out.
I’m not going out of this game without a fight.
Snow-White is shaking his head up and down, that’s amazing that’s how I feel. I’m stressed.
Ya think! Me too! Amanda smiles at Erik and tilts her head.

He has taken the bait. Miss Doe Eyes tells us that since Erik is so naive, she will be able to manipulate his mind into sending Sleepy Parvati to Exile.

Miss Amanda Doe Eyes, what are your thoughts on Exile? She sets the hook by batting her eyelashes.
He continues; Snow-Black wants me to go. I don’t want to go. At all!!!
Well of course she wants you to go. That would weaken you. You wouldn’t be the strongest any more. It doesn’t make any sense. We should send Sleepy. She’s already weak and wouldn’t look for the idol.

Snow-White thinks to himself; I don’t know if I can trust Miss Doe Eyes. She’s very strategic. I don’t know if I can trust her. I feel like I need to make some decision but who do I trust?
Natalie or Amanda? Which plan do I choose?

They start back to camp. They are carrying coconuts. Doe Eyes tells Snow-White he’s good at thinking. You’re almost there.
He responds I’m almost there? Well I have more that just hair on my head. (Whatever that means)

Day 34, Reward Challenge

King EPMB asks;

Mirror, mirror on the wall,
Who’s the most loved one of all?

O King EPMB, though loved ye be, Snow-White Erik is more loved than thee.

Then my huntsman Doe Eyes has not finished her job.

Call Jeff and tell him we’ve changed the reward challenge.
I need to help Miss Doe Eyes out.
Jeff appears before King EPMB. Jeff I need to give a shout out to a few survivors from the past.
We are going to play a game that favors the fans. We will edit in the clips later. Now off you go.

Jeff calls out, come on in guys!

Welcome to Wheels of Survivor Fortunes

Today’s challenge is going to test how well you know this game you love so much. I will ask you about favorite moments of past seasons. Each question you answer correctly is worth 1 point. First to 4 wins reward.

Want to know what you are playing for?
The winner will board a helicopter for a stunning flight over the Rock Islands.
You will then land at a luxury resort for a massage,
*Amanda collapses over her wheel*
and a meal......
Meal? Erik repeats the word MEAL. This is my game to win. I am the Super Fan. I’m hungry.
You will return to camp in the morning. In addition the winner will choose someone to go to Exile Island.
There is one more Hidden Immunity Idol to be found and played. This is the last one.

Let’s start, first question:

Which season did a Survivor have a pet snake?
*wheels are spinning*
Everybody lock in.

The answer is Pearl Islands and Rupert with his pet snake Balboa.

Cirie and Erik receive one point.

Next question: Which season did someone bite the shark that bit them?

*wheels spin*
Lock your answers.

The answer is All-Stars and Richard Hatch.

Amanda and Natalie will receive a point for a correct answer.

Next question: Which season did a tribe mate ask another to pee on their hand after being stung by a sea urchin?

Erik is the only one to get the answer correct.

Next question: During which season was a castaway evacuated from the game after they fell into the fire?
*wheels spin*
Lock your answers.

The answer is Australia and Mike Skupin.

Cirie, Parvati and Erik got it right. That was 2001 and Erik was 14. That’s proof of your super fan status, Erik.

The score stands at Cirie – 2, Parvati – 1, Amanda – 1, Natalie – 2, and Erik – 3.

Next question: Which season did we first divide the survivors into 4 separate tribes?
*wheels spin*
*Cirie grins because this is her season*
Lock in your answers.

The answer is Exile Island where we divided them by age and gender.

Cirie, Natalie and Erik got it correct.

Erik you are the winner.
*Natalie is clapping thinking she will have a chance to find the idol*
Ok Erik, who do you want to send to Exile Island?
*Erik glances at Amanda*

*Natalie is grinning wildly*
I’m pretty sure I want to send Parvati.
*Natalie is now angry*
Jeff continues, Now who do you want to take on reward with you?
I gave Amanda my word before the challenge, Jeff, I will take her. She was also going to take me if she won.

*Cirie and Natalie look at each other in shock*
Jeff tells them, I’ve got nothing for you head back to camp.

Erik and Amanda your coach awaits. It’s a nice reward, go and enjoy it. Head on out.

*Miss Amanda Doe Eyes is jumping up and down while hugging Snow-White Erik’s back *

Dabu

Snow-Black Nat is very upset about what happen.
He was supposed to send me. We talked about it this morning. He woke me up.
*A tear almost falls*
Erik is a little weasel, Doc tells Snow-Black. Where do his loyalties lie?
Why would he take her if he was going to vote her out?
*tilts head for accent*
You do not feed and take care of the person you plan on voting out.

Doc tells us she is having so much fun yanking Snow-black’s chain. It’s killing her;
she thought she had Erik in her pocket. This is the only pleasure I’m getting today.
*big grin* Seeing Nat stress over not going on reward, yanking her around is pure joy. Sleepy P being on Exile is pure joy. Pure joy!

Snow-Black Nat states: If it looks like a rat, smells like a rat...
*cracks her head to the right* *crack*
*cracks her head to the left* *crack*

...then give it cheese! finishes Doc Cirie.
*she breaks into an evil smile and laughs*

Reward

At that same Moment a helicopter flies by.
The two on the beach wave to the two in the helicopter.
Loud joyous screams burst from the open door.

Flying through the Rock Islands brings many beautiful and stunning views. (My favorite was the natural rock bridge). We also hear many awwwws, wows, look at that, and Amanda’s Ohmygawd’s.

Erik: I’m glad you came on this trip with me as a friend and not a stranger. Doe Eyes says she feels the same way. I know I didn’t do what Snow-Black wanted me to, but there would be no relaxation. And I want to be around you, Miss Doe Eyes. I can’t stop wondering if you are manipulating me, if I’m manipulating you.
I don’t want to think about it.

She tells him; let’s get out of the game for a day. Erik shouts WHOOOOO!

We hear aaahhhh’s and mmmmmmm’s coming from the spa. They receive a full body massage and foot treatments. Keep doing what you’re doing to my toes. Snow-White admits he’s never been to a spa before and Doe Eyes is shocked. At the evening meal Snow-White Erik tells Miss Doe Eyes that since he’s won immunity, people keep coming to him and asking him what he’s going to do. I feel like I’m the center of everything.

Well you kind-of are.
People are asking me what decision to make. I’ve never had to do that before.
Why not? It’s good to be in a power position.

I’m just a soda jerk. I’m not use to it. Maybe I need to step up and be a man.
Maybe I need to be an ice cream man and not ice cream boy.

*giggle*

Exile Island Day 35

Sleepy P is lying in the sun working on her tan.
She repeats a little poem as she runs her fingers through the sand.

Idol, Idol; buried where?
I’m on vacation.
So I don’t care.

Idol, Idol; you’ve worked your trick
To keep Snow-White and Snow-Black,
From finding the stick.

Dabu Day 35

Snow-White Erik and Miss Amanda Doe Eyes return to a bitter camp.

I’m bitter when they return from reward, whines Doc Cirie.
I’m bitter that he didn’t take me after he promised me, Snow-Black grumbles.
I see you, calls Cirie. Don’t use them sad eyes on me. I know it was wonderful.
I had the same reward during my season. You woke up at three and ate more food.

Actually we didn’t. It was a sit down dinner with a waitress.

*chop* *chop, chop* *CHOP* *CHOP* *CHOP, CHOP, CHOP*

Snow-Black Nat is pulverizing a coconut, while ignoring Snow-White Erik.

Erik tells us that it’s no longer sunshine and happiness with Nat. She won’t look at me or talk to me.
It’s real bad. We’ve been a pair for a long time. I don’t know what to do.

Doc Cirie sees Snow-White alone and decides to stir the pot a little. *grins*
Erik, next time you win reward you need to take me. *she sits down*
Snow-Black doesn’t understand why you would take Doe Eyes if you plan to vote her out.

*Snow-Black Nat walks behind the back of the lean-to and stops and listens*

Cirie continues; do you think you could beat Snow-Black.
I need to think about that. I think Snow-Black and Doe Eyes would get all the jury votes.
I’m going to make someone mad at me what ever I do. I just need to think.

*Snow-White had never thought before, he just scooped ice cream*

Doc continues probing: Who would you like to see as final three?
You, me, and Sleepy, states Erik.
Then we would need to vote out ... who?
*Snow-White grabs a lock of his beautiful blond hair and twists it*
I guess it needs to be Snow-Black Nat and Miss Doe Eyes.
*a big grin breaks over Doc’s face*

Snow-Black tells us she’s very angry with Snow-White Erik. I could slap him. I should slap him like his mother.
*slap, slap, slap*
Doc, Snow-Black and Doe Eyes are talking about Snow-White Erik. They realize they he has told each of them something different. He sees them and knows he’s in trouble.

He seeks out Miss Doe Eyes. What do I do? I know I screwed up.
She tells him to pick a side. Are you going to take Snow-Black to the finale? Do you see me as the biggest threat? Are you planning on voting me out? Are you now my best friend?
I make so many mistakes Miss Doe Eyes. I have to win Immunity or I’m gone.
It’s like the animal kingdom you win and survive or you fail and die.

Day 36: Immunity Challenge

Jeff calls; Come on in guys!
*Survivors walk to the mat*
I’ll bring Parvati in. *Parvati walks in carrying her bag*
Erik, I’ll take back the necklace.
Once again Immunity is back up for grabs.

IMMUNITY CHALLENGE: DASH-DIG-DECODE

Jeff Probst explains: There will be three puzzles to solve. Race to the end of the track and find your first clue. This will give you 4 coordinates. Connect your ropes to each coordinate and cross them in the first plot of sand. Dig down where the ropes meet to find a bag of puzzle pieces. Race back to the answer board at the starting point and solve the puzzle. This will give you the next coordinates for the second plot of sand. Race there, cross the ropes again and dig up the next set of puzzle pieces. Race back solve the 2nd puzzle. Race to the 3rd plot and repeat to find the final puzzle pieces. Race back to the start and be the first person to solve that puzzle and you will win Immunity. Guaranteed Final Four!

Let’s get started. Survivors Ready. Go

They all run down and start crossing ropes. Erik digs first, and finds his clues. Cirie is second. Erik heads back out. Amanda shows up with first bag. Cirie heads out. Natalie is solving first puzzle. Erik is heading back. Amanda heads out. Erik has a big lead and looking for his third bag. Parvati is no where close to being in this challenge. Oh Jeff! She says. Parvati brings her first puzzle back. Erik finds his third bag and is heading back.
He has a huge lead. It’s his challenge to lose.
*Erik is franticly placing the puzzles pieces to make a phrase* everyone is digging. Erik thinks he has it.
*Jeff reads the answer* Guaranteed: Final Four!
*Snow-White Erik raises arms in victory*
Erik wins Immunity yet again. Come and get your necklace.
With this around your neck you are safe from a boot tonight. Guaranteed final four.
Amanda, Natalie, Parvati, and Cirie; one of you will be going home tonight and your chance of a million dollars will come to an end. Grab your stuff and head back to camp.

Dabu
Back at camp the women are sharing notes. Snow-Black Nat asks the group to tell her if she’s going tonight. Doc Cirie says probably.
Yesterday he worked us all like cheap suits.
(Don’t you love all of Doc’s one liners?)
If he didn’t have that necklace he would be gone.

*a light ray shines on Doc*

I wonder if he would give Snow-Black the necklace?

*the four women come up with a wild plan and then convince Snow-Black she’s got the magic to convince him. The magic of King EPMB.*
But who would fall for that? I feel stupid just listening to you guys.
Sleepy Parvati tells Snow-Black that Ozzy, Jason, and Erik would fall for that.

Snow-Black shares a moment with Snow-White by the fire munching crunchy coconut.
I’m going home tonight, Snow-White.
*crunch, crunch*
I wish we could make final three. I’ve got a hair-brained idea.
Let me run it by you. It’s crazy, but brilliant.
*crunch, crunch* *crunch, crunch*
What if you, me, and Doc Cirie vote Doe Eyes out tonight.
*crunch, crunch*
Now here’s the crazy part.
*crunch, crunch*
You give me the necklace...
I won’t even consider that, he butts in...
*crunch, crunch*
Now hear me out Snow-White.
*crunch, crunch*
Doc will vote for Amanda if you give me the necklace. Why do you need my necklace?

*Need a moment*
*crunch, crunch**crunch, crunch**crunch, crunch**crunch, crunch*

We were thinking about you making a pivotal move to impress the jury and redeem yourself, Snow-White.
*crunch, crunch*
*crunch, crunch* I don’t think I have a lot of jury votes. *crunch, crunch*
Let me talk to Doc Cirie. *crunch, crunch*

Doc, Why do I need to give Snow-Black my necklace? Don’t you trust me? Isn’t my word good?
*Doc shakes her head no*
My child, I know it hard to hear this but it’s for your own good.
OK Doc, I just have to think about it.

*Snow-Black Nat meets with Doc*
Doc, he’s willing to do it if we vote Sleepy P.
I will go along with anything because he’s on the hook. We just gotta reel him in.
It will be the ultimate Jedi Mind Trick. Will he bite?

The King believes that Snow-White is dead. He steps in front of the mirror and says;

"Mirror, mirror upon the wall, who is the most loved of all?"

Then the mirror answered;

"O King, though fair thou be, Snow-White Erik is more loved we see.
Over the hills and far away, he dwells with seven Jurors to-day."

King EPMB travels to Tribal Council, while his servants bring his mirror.

Tribal Council

Doe Eyes, Sleepy, Doc, Snow-White and Snow-Black await the jurors.

*a faint song can be heard*

Hi ho, hi ho, it off to Tribal we go. Another one gone, we sing our song. Hi ho, hi ho.

And now our jury with their own special songs:

Sneezy - Eliza:
A stick, a stick, I did know.
Trying to play it, I was let go!

Grumpy - Ozzy
Idol, Idol in my bag
I’ve been blindsided, now you’re dead.

Dopey - Jason
Idol, Idol in my bag again,
I watched it once, but it did me in.

Bashful - James
IV, IV in my hand,
Ended the game, for this strong man.

And Happy Alexis voted out at last council
Blindside, blindside done to me,
Try to get past me when you’re final three.

Jeff states, Let’s get started:

Snow-White Erik, Why did you take Amanda Doe Eyes after she crushed you at last tribal?

I needed to redeem myself Jeff and I thought she would see it as a nice gesture to bury the hatchet.
I made a stupid mistake. I want to ask for forgiveness tonight. I’m sorry!

Your word means nothing to us.
Game aside; I hope there’s some kind of forgiveness pleads Snow-White.
Sleepy tells him you can’t say game aside, we’re playing the game. This is the game.
Snow-White says, Sorry, Sorry, sorry, sorry, Sorry! If it means anything at all.

Eric, what is it going to take to win this game? Jeff asks.

I’ve been thinking about that. I don’t see any friendly faces. I need some kind of redemption to get there.

*Snow-Black cracks a grin*
Does it matter Doc Cirie, if there is redemption? Ask Jeff.

Well of course it matters. Your actions will show and prove what’s really going on.

Let’s get to the vote.

Erik you have the Immunity Necklace.
As always you can give it up if you want or keep it and be safe tonight.
Final Four!

*pause*

*Sneezy’s jaw drops*

This is a very tough decision for me. As a competitor, I’ve always said keep your fate in your own hands. *everyone is looking at Snow-White Erik*
Actions do speak louder than words.
I want to give Individual Immunity to Snow-Black Nat.

*he takes the necklace off*
*Sneezy’s jaw hits the floor*
*Grumpy shakes his head*
*Dopey smirks*
*Doc grins*
*Snow-Black grabs the necklace and puts it around her neck*
*Bashful bust out laughing*
*Doe Eyes puts her hand over her mouth in disbelief*
*Sleepy giggles*
*Bashful continues to belly laugh*
*Happy has her hand at her temple and shakes her head*

With a surprised voice Jeff says; Suddenly Natalie, you are safe. No one can vote for Snow-Black

Erik, you are up!

As Snow-White crosses his fingers and votes, Sleepy kisses the Snow-Black Widow,
Bashful is making yes hand movements while Sneezy’s jaw is still on the floor.

Erik votes for Parvati and hopes people keep their word.

Natalie votes for Erik and doesn’t know what to say but thank you.

Amanda shows us her vote for Erik and is speechless.

Cirie shows us her vote for Erik and says:
My Mother always told me, you might not be able to beat them with these, *points to her muscles*
but you can always beat them with this. *points to her brain* Sorry.

Parvati votes for Erik and calls him crazy and says he will now be the dumbest survivor of all times.

Jeff nods and says, I’ll go tally the votes.

If anyone has the Hidden Immunity Idol, now would be the time to play it.
*every one looks at a sun tanned Sleepy P*
Once the votes are read the decision is final.
That person must leave the Tribal Council immediately.

First vote: Erik
Second vote: Parvati
Third vote: Erik
*Erik’s jaw is dropping*
*he hangs his head*

13th person voted out and 6th member of the Jury: Erik
You need to bring me your torch.

Erik stands up and tells the girls, You guys drive me crazy.

James raises his arms and yells; I’ve lost my reign as dumbest Survivor Ever!

Erik places his torch in the hole and says I should have known better.

Jeff looks him in the eyes; Erik the tribe has spoken.
*he snuffs out the flame*

*Erik turns around and waves at the girls, who are waving and laughing*
*he runs out of sight*

I think that is what you call a life lesson, suggest Jeff.
3 days left, who knows what is going to happen.
Grab your torches and head back to camp.

King EPMB laughed aloud with joy as he gazed at what had happened.
His envious heart had peace-at least, as much peace as an envious heart can have.
And he went straight to his mirror.

"Mirror, mirror upon the sand, who is the most loved in Survivor Land?"

And it answered:

"Thou, O King, art loved most of all! This will bring viewers back in the Fall"

This has been the season with the most injuries, evacuations, and blindsides and will end this Sunday.
Who knows what’s going to happen with a final four all women.
Join us for the season finale and reunion show Sunday.
