Episode
5 - Twister
Jeff: (Narrating)
Previously on Survivor
At Velazquez, Mike and Stone were ticked
about the previous night's vote. At Denson, Joe revealed feelings
of vulnerability and went on an expedition with Scott and Jonny to retrieve
the dog. The reward challenge was a fish moving contest. Denson
won and got fishing gear. Back at Velasquez, Mike and Matt
got into a fistfight. At Velasquez, Carmen and Lauren engaged in
a shouting match. Lauren's harsh words turned off even her friends.
The Immunity Challenge was a game of basketball played with a giant ball.
Velasquez's superior strength won the day. Before Tribal Council,
Carmen and Lauren had another spat. The vote was close, with three
votes going to Lauren, but in the end it was Carmen who took the walk of
shame.
12 remain. Tonight, one more will
go.
Theme
Song
Denson
.
(Denson returns from Tribal Council.
Lauren is irrate)
.
Joe: (Narrating)
Well, we had Tribal Council again last night. We had agreed as a
tribe to vote out Carmen, but two of us broke rank and voted for Lauren.
She was not happy about it.
.
Lauren: (angrily) Who
did it? Who voted for me?
.
Jonny: I did.
.
Lauren: You have
some sort of problem with me, Ji- Jer-… what's your name, kid?
.
Jonny: (Sighs)
It's Jonathan Wear.
.
Lauren: I
won't remember that, and it won't matter since you're the next one out.
(Turning to Scott) I guess you voted for me, too, Red.
.
Scott: (Mocking)
I guess you voted for me too, Red.
.
Lauren: You
two are so screwed! I'm going to make sure that the rest of your
time here is a living Hell. Come on, Nathan! Let's go have
sex!
.
(Lauren storms
off. Nate looks at the guys, smiles, then runs after her)
.
Jonny: (Narrating)
Lauren. Who made her queen of the tribe? What a witch!
I could put up with Carmen's crap for another three days, but I can't put
up with her anymore. If Mary and Joe weren't such wimps, we could've
got rid of her last night.
.
(Early the
next morning, Jonny, Scott, Joe and Mary sit around the fire.
Scott pets
the dog. Lauren and Nate walk back into camp, hand in hand)
.
Mary: Hey
guys! How'd you sleep?
.
Lauren: We
didn't do any sleeping at all, if you catch my drift.
.
(Jonny cringes)
.
Mary: Excuse
me?
.
Lauren: I'll
explain it to you later, Mary.
.
(Lauren walks
up to Scott and Jonny)
.
Lauren: You
geeks are still playing with that dog? What, you don't satisfy each
other anymore?
.
Scott: (Ignoring
Lauren) Hey Jonny, let's go.
.
Jonny: Yeah,
OK.
.
(Scott and
Jonny leave. Lauren just stands there smirking)
.
Jonny: Man,
I hate her!
.
Scott: It's
like she thinks she's still in High School. She really needs to figure
out that she's not miss class president head cheerleader out here.
.
Jonny: Yeah,
but we can't do anything about it unless we can get Joe and Mary to vote
with us.
.
Scott: So
we just talk to them, man. They'll agree to get rid of her.
.
Mary: (Narrating)
Well, that last tribal council was difficult for me, because I had to choose
between two friends. And now we've got this whole fight between Lauren
and Jonny and Scott. I really don't know which side to go with.
.
(Shot of a skunk trotting along.
Pan across the forest to Camp Velasquez)
Velasquez
.
(Jake and Matt sit in front of
the TV. Jake's fiddling with the antannae.)
..
Jake: This
sucks! All we can pick up is KHQA.
.
Matt: Too
bad Lauren's not on the news anymore.
.
Jake: Why
do we need to watch her on the news when we can make fun of her in real
life?
.
Matt: I dunno.
It's just not the same.
.
(Nikki approaches
them)
.
Nikki: Are
you guys still playing with that thing?
.
Jake: Yeah,
we can't pick anything up.
.
Nikki: Let
me see...
.
(Nikki fiddles with the antennae.
She begins flipping through the channels, and there's now plenty on)
.
Nikki: (Smiling) Something
I picked up working at a cable company.
,
Jake: All right!
I can watch Passions today!
,
(Cut to Mike and Stone sitting
off by themselves, looking sullen)
,
Stone: (Narrating)
Mike and I are in the worst position we could possibly be in. We're
the minority against a strong alliance of four. It doesn't matter
how nice we are, how much work we do. From here on out, we're doomed.
The only real comfort I have at this point is that Mike will most likely
be voted off before I am.
,
(In the hut, the alliance is having
a meeting)
.
Jake: I have a bad feeling
about this. The tribes are tied 6-6 at this point. I would
not put it past them to put the swap rule in effect, and that could totally
destroy our strategy.
..
Nikki: So
which one of us goes over if we have to swap?
.
Jake: I'd
say me or Matt. We can easily ally ourselves with Jonny and Scott
to stay alive over there.
.
Mary Lou:
Unless they swap Jonny and Scott over to us...
.
Jake: Crap.
Denson
.
(Joe and Mary fetch tree mail)
.
Joe: Well, I wonder
what it is today, Mary?
Mary: It's
reward challenge day, isn't it?
Joe: Let's
see. (Reading) Both tribes have lost two
And now it is time
For you to compete
For a food source sublime
.
If you do well,
With your allies you'll stay
Screw this one up
You'll be thrown in the fray
I wonder what that
means?
.
Mary: It sounds
like we're competing for some kind of food.
Reward Challenge
– Ring Toss Up
(Close-up on a chicken in a cage.
Pan over a small pond. The Survivors
come out of the woods. Jeff
is waiting for them)
.
Jeff: Welcome. What's up,
guys? OK, today's Reward Challenge is a double-edged sword.
This challenge has a team element to it, but there's also an idividual
element. First thing you're competing for: three egg-laying chickens
and a rooster. A nice food source. It's your choice whether
you want to try for eggs or if you to go ahead and butcher them for meat.
.
The other reward, slightly more important:
the right to keep your tribal colors. The three tribe members on
each tribe with the worst records are getting switched to the other team.
.
(The Survivors gasp)
.
Jeff: Here's how we play the game.
Circling this pond are 100 remote controlled boats. On top of each
boat is a pole. Your job is to stand on the shore and chuck these
rings at the poles on the boats. The team that lands the most rings
wins the chickens.
.
Each person has 30 rings. You'll
notice that each of your rings is stained with your team color and is also
marked with your name. The three people on each team with the least
amount of ringers scored are getting swapped to the other tribe.
Sound fair?
.
Mike: S***
no!
.
Jeff: (Ignoring Mike) OK, pick any spot
around the pond.
.
(The Survivors position themselves
along the rim of the pond.)
.
Jeff: OK, start up the boats!
.
(The boats whirr to life and start
darting about the surface of the pond)
.
Jeff: Survivors ready? (Doing the arm
thing) Go!
.
(The Survivors begin tossing their
rings frantically at the erratically moving boats.
.
Jake is doing horribly. He
can't throw the rings straight at all, and all of his shots are sinking
into the pond. Next to him, Matt's doing quite well. His aim
is very precise, and he's nailing almost half his shots.
.
Across the pond, Lauren's doing
terribly. She can't throw with any sort of precision
and isn't coming close to hitting
any of the boats. Joe is doing a respectable
job, hitting a good percentage
of his shots. Next to him, Stone is also doing quite well,
using the power of his massive
forearms to nail some of the farther off boats that no one else can get
to.
.
Mary Lou's having terrible luck.)
.
Mary Lou: Oh!
Shoot a rabbit!
.
(Mike observes Matt's throwing.
His anger burns, and he begins to nail shot after shot. Mary and
Nikki are performing poorly, getting their rings close to the boats, but
never really getting a ring to go around a pole.
.
Scott and Jonny are doing all right
for themselves. They're both doing pretty well until Scott begins
to feel a little competitive. He starts to whoop whenever Jonny throws,
which messes with Jonny's accuracy)
.
Jeff: Looks like everyone's running
out of rings. Jake! You're done.
(The Survivors continue their mad
ring toss. Soon Mary Lou,
Nikki, Mary, and Lauren have squandered
all their rings)
.
Jeff: The game's winding down.
.
(The guys start to run out of rings.
Joe's the last one to throw, nailing his shot)
.
Jeff: OK! That's the last
of the rings. Everyone gather up. We'll tally the results.
.
(Jeff leaves. Closeups of
the Survivors as they wait in anxiety. Jeff returns with handfuls
of rings)
.
Jeff: The results are in: With
63 ringers, Denson wins the chickens!
.
(Denson begins to celebrate)
.
Jeff: Unfortunatley, three of you won't
be able to benefit from your win. The players with the three worst
records are Jonny, with 12 ringers, Mary, with 2, and Lauren with 0.
I need you guys to bring me your buffs.
.
(Reluctantly, Jonny, Mary, and
Lauren approach Jeff. They
take off their buffs and hand them
over. Jeff turns to Velasquez)
.
Jeff: Velasquez, your worst players
were Nikki, with 5 ringers, Jake, with 1, and Mary Lou with 0. I
need you guys to hand over your buffs, too.
.
(Nikki, Jake, and Mary Lou give
Jeff their buffs. Jeff pulls six new buffs out of a backpack)
.
Jeff: OK. Jonny, Mary, Lauren,
you're now Velasquez.
.
(Jeff tosses the buffs to the former
Denson players, then turns to the ex-Velasquezes)
.
Jeff: Nikki, Jake, Mary Lou, you're
now Denson.
.
(Jeff tosses the players their
new buffs)
.
Jeff: OK, we now have two new tribes.
Denson, your reward awaits out on the island.
.
(The new Velasquez, consisting
of Jonny, Mary, Lauren, Matt, Stone, and Mike, walks away.
The new Densons, Jake, Nikki, Mary Lou, Nate, Scott, and Joe, take a real
boat out to the island in the middle of the pond. There they find
a cage with four chickens in it. They carrry it triumphantly back
to camp)
Denson
.
Joe: (Narrating)
Well, today's reward challenge was a real surprise to me, because not only
did we win some chickens -- which I know Mom is just going to do great
things with -- but I have some new teammates. I couldn't be happier
with the reshuffling, because now I'm on a team with my mother-in-law Mary
Lou, my nephew Jake, and Jake's cousin Nikki. We're all family.
.
(Joe shows his new teammates around
Camp Denson. Scott and Nate stand off to the side with the dog)
.
Scott: If they're
the new people, why do I feel out of place?
.
Nate: You ain't
a-kiddin'.
.
(Scott and Nate approach Jake,
who's grown a bit bored with Joe's tour and drifted off to the side)
.
Scott: Hey Jake,
have you seen our dog?
.
Jake: No.
(Half-heartedly petting the dog) What's its name?
.
Scott: Well, he
doesn't really have one.
.
Nate: We ought
to name him.
.
Jake: Yeah,
that'd be a great way to bond as a new tribe.
.
(The tribe
gathers around the dog)
.
Nikki: Aw!
He's so cute!
.
Mary Lou:
Oh dear… I don't like animals.
.
Jake: I think
we ought to call him Les Sachs.
.
Nikki: The
news guy?
.
Jake: Does
anyone have a better suggestion?
.
(No one speaks
up)
.
Jake: Les Sachs
it is!
.
Nate: (Narating)
Our dog's name is Les Sachs. (laughs) I never heard of giving a dog
a last name before.
Velasquez
.
(Matt and Jonny sit off to the
side talking)
.
Jonny: So
Lauren was going to target me and Scott next.
.
Matt: That's
not good. Our alliance was going after Mike and Stone next.
.
Jonny: So basically,
everyone's going to gang up on us and we're screwed.
.
Matt: Yup.
.
Matt: (Narrating)
Well, this ain't good at all. Lauren and Mike and Stone are all gonna
vote off me and Jonny.
.
Lauren: (Narrating)
At this point, I'm weighing my options. Mary will do whatever I tell
her to, but if I want to vote anyone off, I'm going to need more support.
As much as I dislike Mike Ebbing, I may just have to form an alliance with
him to get rid of that one kid.
.
Mike: (Narrating)
Lauren? It's only a matter of time before I get into her pants, man.
.
(Mike approaches
Lauren, who's sitting with Mary)
.
Mike: Hey
Lauren.
.
Lauren: Oh,
hello Mike.
.
Mike: So,
did you see me in the basketball challenge the other day? I was the
one pushing the ball.
.
Lauren: Um,
I need to go over here now.
.
(Lauren leaves.
Mary stares at Mike)
.
Mary: So you're
Mike Ebbing?
.
Mike: H***
yes. Who are you?
.
Mary: (Extending
her hand) Mary Hercules.
.
(Mike ignores
Mary's hand)
.
Mike: Yeah, OK.
.
(Mike walks
off after Lauren, leaving Mary with her hand still extended)
.
Mary: (To herself)
Rejected…
.
Mary (Narrating)
These new people are, um... interesting. I talked to Mr. Stone some
earlier.
.
(Stone sits
down by Mary)
.
Stone: Robin
Stone.
.
Mary: Mary
Hercules.
.
Stone: Tell
me, Mary, do you enjoy art?
.
Mary: Oh yeah.
I love it.
..
Stone: Well,
I'm the director of the art program up at Hannibal LaGrange.
.
Mary: Really?
.
Mary: (Narrating)
It was one of the most boring conversations I've ever had.
.
(Shot of Mary rolling her eyes
at the camera as Stone talks.
Cut to a night shot. The
stars race by. Cut to the new day)
Denson
.
(Nate and
Jake walk to get tree mail)
.
Nate: So did
you and Stonehenge have fun together?
.
Jake: Oh yeah,
we were real great pals. We hung out all the time.
.
Nate: Really?
.
Jake: No.
.
Nate: Woo-wee!
We got mail!
.
(Nate pulls
out the tree mail and begins reading it)
.
Nate: (reading)
A good Survivor's
worth his weight in gold
But if one is weak
You'll do more than scold
.
One to pull,
The rest to sit
Don't lose this
Or you're in deep.. yeah.
.
Jake: No way!
Does it really say that?
.
Nate: (Laughing)
Yep. Right here. "You're in deep 's.'"
Immunity Challenge
- Coal Miner Fodder
(Along a valley run two railroad
tracks. A mine cart full of coal rests
at the end of each track.
The Survivors approach. Jeff is waiting)
.
Jeff: Velasquez, I'll take back the
immunity idol.
.
(Mike hands Jeff the idol)
.
Jeff: This is back up for grabs. Today,
we play for immunity. Here's how it's gonna work. Coal mining
has always been a huge part of Missouri's economy. To get the coal
out, miners have to use carts like these. Today, you guys are going
to find out what it's like to be coal miners.
.
(The Survivors groan)
.
Jeff: This is a relay. Each team
member will have a turn at pushing the cart. Here's the thing, you
won't be pushing carts filled with coal. They'll be filled instead
with your teammates. Push your teammates to the end of the track.
Switch to the next person, who will push the cart back. The first
tribe to push their cart along this stretch of track six times wins immunity.
You guys need to decide who will be pushing first.
.
(Denson chooses Joe. Velasquez
chooses Stone)
.
Jeff: OK. Survivors ready? (Doing
the arm thing) Go!
.
(Stone pushes with all his might
and takes a commanding lead over Joe. Soon he
reaches the end of the track.
Stone jumps in the cart and Mike gets out and begins pushing it the other
way.
.
Joe reaches the end of the line
and hops in. Scott hops out and starts pushing the cart down the
track with all his might. He doesn't have as much strength as Joe,
so it's slower going. As he makes it about halfway, Mike finishes
up.
.
Mike hops into the cart and Matt
hops out to take his turn. Matt has quite a bit of strength, and
the cart barrels past Scott as he finishes up his leg of the relay.
Nate hops out and starts pushing the cart as hard as he can. He gains
ground on Matt, but not much. Matt reaches the end of the line.
Jonny hops out of the cart and begins his run. He's not nearly as
strong as his teammates, so the going is quite a bit slower.
.
Nate reaches the end of the track
and it's Jake's turn to go. He's even weaker than Jonny. The
race slows to a crawl as Jake and Jonny struggle to push their carts down
the track. After several minutes, Jonny reaches the end of the line
and flings himself into the cart, exhausted. It is now Lauren's turn
to push. She puts all her might into it, and manages to roll it along
at about the speed Jonny had before her.
.
Jake finally
finishes up his leg of the race. Nikki hops out and starts pushing.
She's stronger than Jake was and begins to gain on Lauren. Lauren
shrieks when she sees Nikki coming and works harder to get the cart rolling.
By the end of the leg, Nikki's caught up with Lauren and the teams are
neck and neck. It's all up to Mary and Mary Lou.
.
Both are weak competitors.
They have trouble even moving the cart. Mary finally gets it to creak
forward. Much time elapses, and Mary pulls ahead. About halfway
through her leg, Mary Lou drops from strain. Mary finally finishes
her leg of the race)
.
Jeff: Well, it's been a long race, and
this is well-earned. Velasquez, the Immunity Idol is back in your
grasp.
.
(Velasquez celebrates. Denson
drags Mary Lou back to camp)
Denson
.
Nate: (Narrating)
Tonight is our first tribal council with this new team. With Lauren
gone, I'm feeling kind of alone in this thing for the first time.
.
(Nate and Scott lay in the shade
with the dog)
.
Scott: Here's
what we gotta do, man. Jake's our only hope of staying in.
.
Nate: Is he?
.
Scott: Yeah.
You saw how Joe went right over with Mary Lou and Nikki. They're
tight. But Jake's our friend. I think we can get him to vote
with us.
.
Nate: You think
so?
.
Scott: I don't
know, man. It's our only chance, though.
.
Mary Lou: (Narrating)
Well, I'm a little concerned about the vote tonight. I saw Jake talking
to the young guys earlier. I don't think he's going to break our
alliance, but I guess you never know.
.
(Jake talks
to Scott and Nate)
.
Jake: I don't
know, guys.
.
Scott: I know
there have been times we haven't got along so great, Jake, but you do know
that we're still friends, right?
.
Jake: Yeah,
of course. But… I don't know if I can vote with you.
.
Nate: No offense
to your Grandma, Jake, but she lost the challenge for us. We'd be
a better team without her.
.
Jake: True,
we'd be a better team, but keep in mind that we're gonna merge soon.
Strong players are the threat after the merge.
.
Scott: So
we need to keep the weak players?
.
Jake: Right.
.
Joe: (Narrating)
I don't really know what Jake's up to. All I know that for the first
time, I'm in a strong alliance. To tell the truth, I feel absolutely
safe from tonight's vote for the very first time.
.
Jake: (Narrating)
We'll just see how this plays out, won't we?
Tribal Council #
5
(Denson enters. Jeff is waiting)
.
Jeff: Welcome to your first Tribal Council
as the new Denson. Mary Lou, tell me about the swap. How did
it affect your game plan?
.
Mary Lou:
Well, Jeff, as you can see, three fourths of our alliance survived the
swap, and we found a fine replacement for Jake's friend Matt.
.
(Joe smiles at Mary Lou)
.
Jeff: Joe, what's that little smile
about?
.
Joe: Well,
Jeff, for the first time, I'm part of an alliance. That feels pretty
good after being sort of a loner this whole game.
.
Jeff: (Nods condescendingly) Scott, I
hear a lot of alliance talk here. As someone who's not in Mary Lou
and Joe's alliance, how does that make you feel?
.
Scott: Well,
you never know how this is going to go, Jeff. Maybe I have an alliance
of my own.
Jeff: Nate, how important are alliances
at this stage in the game?
.
Nate: Oh,
they're very important. If you don't have back-up, you're in trouble.
.
Jeff: OK. It's time to vote.
Joe, you're up first.
.
(Joe votes. We don't see
it)
Joe: You're
a fine young man, but we had to choose someone.
.
(Mary Lou's next. We don't
see it. Nikki's up after her. After Nikki is Jake. We
don't see his vote)
.
Jake: Who knows
why? Just taking out a strong player at this point, I guess.
.
(Scott votes next. Finally,
Nate votes. He's voted for Joe)
/
Nate: We decided
earlier to get rid of the strong players, and Joe did really good at the
challenge yesterday. Nothing personal.
/
(Nate returns)
.
Jeff: I'll go tally the votes.
.
(Jeff leaves and returns with the
voting cannister)
.
Jeff: Just a reminder, once the votes are
tallied, the decision is final. The person will be asked to leave
the Tribal Council area immediately. First vote: Joe
.
Joe
.
Nathan
.
Nate
.
That's two votes Joe, two votes Nate.
.
Nathan
.
And the deciding and final vote, Nate.
I need you to bring me your torch.
.
(Nate grabs his torch and approaches
Jeff)
.
Jeff: Nate, the tribe has spoken.
It's time for you to go.
.
(Jeff snuffs his torch and he leaves)
.
Jeff: Well, it looks like the old alliance
is as strong as ever. I'll let you guys get back to camp.
.
(The Survivors exit)
Nate's final words:
Well, I didn't really expect to go this early in the game, but I guess
it's like Jake said. The strong have to go. I guess it's good
that I was one of the strong ones. I'm not mad or anything.
So, Lauren, I'll see you on the other side. Y'all have a dandy
of a game.
