<Stacey wakes Christine>

Christine: Be careful.

Stacey: You got yourself comfy over there?

Christine: I was hoping it wouldn't be you.

Stacey: I know. That's OK.

<they hug>

Christine: How are ya? 

Stacey: Them snakes over there...

Christine: What happened? What the hell is going on? 

Stacey: Guess who else (or is) running things? Coach.

Christine: I knew it. 

Stacey: I'm on the outside looking in. Everybody on their tribe acting like everything is hunky-dory. It ain't hunky-dory. Who you talk to? "Oh, I talk to all the girls." I'm doin' this. <makes sour face> Lies straight from Hell. All of ya'll are gonna go to Hell with gasoline drawers on. 

Christine (laughing): I missed you so much.

Christine (solo): Stacey just showed up here at Redemption Island, and it's great to have Stacey here, for me, as a person. But as a competitor in the game, it's not good. It's not good for her and it's not good for me.

Stacey: Sitting there, listening to all of Coach's stories about (something about shirt or shark), got caught by pygmies. I don't trust him as far as I can see him.

Christine: He is such a tool. 

Stacey (solo): Tribal was so fake. It was so fake. That is not one big happy family on the blue tribe. Coach is not loal at all. He come on here trying to act like he's all holier-than-thou; he's not. He's a joke.

Stacey: Tried to give me a hug, I was like, "Unh." <holds up hand> You can keep that. Unh. Keep that, keep that. 

Christine: I can't believe they are believing all he says. 

Stacey: They are hanging on his nut. It's all about Coach.

Stacey (solo): I would turn on them in a minute. I will spill all I know that's going on over there. 

Stacey: I know we came out here to play a game, it is a game, we're out here now. Me and you both out here on Redemption Island. But I tell you what. If that man's gonna last, I'm tellin' you, when they find out the really truth about him...

Christine (solo): Emotionally, we've connected, and the duel for me is going to be much more difficult. I don't wanna beat her and I'm sure she doesn't want it to be me.

Stacey: He's suckin' all of 'em. He's sucking all of 'em dry. 

Christine: And they're gonna let him do it.

Stacey: They're gonna let him do it. I'm tellin' you, they stuck on stupid, reaching for retarded.

<Christine laughs>

"The game overall for me was magnificent. It was fun. It was magnificent. Just the point of me being here, doing something I wouldn't have though I would have done, was a good turning point for me. Now I know I can do all things. I would do it again. I would do it again in a heartbeat, one more time. You know how you say never say never for something you wouldn't do? Never say never, because I would probably do it again."

"My biggest turning point and moment in the game where we had the challenge where I had to put all the weight on my back."

(cut)

"I had over 140 pounds on my back. I had to sustain that weight for quite such a long time. It was fun, but it was hard, it was endurance, it was such a struggle. It was magnificent to know I was able to sustain that much weight on myself, and how I was holding that much weight on me, and not just lifting my back, I was using my whole entire body, also my buttocks as well."

"My friends and family see me - they already know Stacey will do it. They know Stacey is not the bravest, but I'll do it first. I'll be the first to step up and do something. They'll be very proud of me. My friends, my family, my community, especially my black community. I'm not saying I'm the first black woman to ever come out here and done this, or black male or female, but me personally, per se, the group I know, the public I know, they'll be very proud of me. The oldest to the youngest, everybody's gonna be proud of me. I'm proud of me. I chose to come out here, I wanted to do it, I got out here to do it. They probably think I'm crazy to do this. Me doing something like this, they never thought I would have done it, but I've done it, and I'm proud of myself that I've done it. I know they're gonna be very proud of me."

"What people at home don't really know when they're on the outside looking in - it is a hard game. Survivor is very hard. When you're doing your challenges, it is a hard game. It is teamwork, but if all the team is not there with you, you feel like you're by yourself. It's hard. It's very, very hard.  I was one of the ones that would be howling at the TV. But I'm here now and I see what goes on behind the scenes of Survivor, it's a hard, very hard game. But I'm not a quitter. I never quit, not one time. I never gave up. I still would love to be in the game right now. Trust me. Living out there, I could sustain that. That was nothing for me, because I was peaceful for that. I could endure for what I had. It's just when the challenges come up and how they come up, it's very hard. Very hard."

(cut)

"My tribe is frightened by me. Was it strength they were looking for? Or was it loyalty they were looking for? It was the strength. My tribe was afraid of me because they know when it came down to individual things, if I still had the strength, trust me, I would have tried to beat at everything I could have done. Everything in my power, my strength, my power, I would have done, most definitely."

"Redemption Island, when I saw my competitor, my old tribemate, Christine, I was so happy to really see her but I was sad to be there, because I wanted to be in the game. Redemption Island is very cold, it's wet, it's mosquito-filled. No sunshine. If that ain't what Hell is like, I don't know what Hell is like, and I ain't goin' to Hell. It wasn't a good place to be. It was very lonely. Very lonely. It takes a lot of you. There's no life there . It's no really enjoyment in there, the way you can really enjoy something that will make you smile. You have to keep yourself encouraged, you have to keep yourself smiling, you have to sing to yourself, you have to laugh to yourself, you have to cry to yourself. You have to do it out loud to where you know between you and God that's what you have there. Redemption Island it is not a good feeling to be there."

"I sustained everything out here. I lived it, I've done it. Stayed here 12 days. It was a survival move for me. I was glad I did what I've done. As far as I went, I know I could've went farther if the game would've been totally different, I know I could have stayed. Totally different."

(cut)

"This is not the last of my face you guys will see. I will do it again. Be looking for me. Again."

"Oh, God! Yeah, me and Edna kind of made contact there for a second. It was strictly gameplay. I had no intention of sticking my mouth in her mouth. It was awkward, but it had to be done. We had to win. Do anything. Weirdest day out of my life. I had to make out with Cowboy to get a piece of meat out of his teeth. That was so awkward and Brokeback. We are all strictly on a manly level there, and we just want to do good for our tribe."

(cut)

"It's definitely different biting chunks off almost a whole hog - I think it was a whole hog and everybody's spit going in it and stuff. But we made sure we washed it out and everything; it's clean. It's cooked. It definitely doesn't affect the flavor whatsoever. Just puts a little more character to it."

(cut)

"I just like how we got seasonings. I told 'em before, 'Guys, if we win a challenge where we got seasonings, please let me cook.' Everybody's like, 'OK, OK.' I insinuated again today, 'OK guys, let me take care of it.' It seemed to work out pretty well. Everybody - some don't like a little hot sauce in it, which I think tops it off, dab a little hot sauce, or a lot of hot sauce, and it just makes the meal. It was good stuff."

"The challenge we lost today epitomizes the agony of defeat. It really does. With all the things I got going for me in camp right now, in terms of the vote and alliances, today put me another step away from a million dollars. Yeah, we get to send somebody home tonight who's not me, doesn't give us the numbers. To win the million dollars, I gotta get everybody out of this game except for me. But when you lose one of your own tribe members, it really makes that second phase of the game, post-merge, really tough. I'm not sad at all about seeing Elyse go home tonight. I'm sad about seeing my chances of a million going down."

(cut)

"I'm removing a variable. It's a good thing, a positive outcome from a bad day. Could be worse. One of the people I trust and one of the people I see myself with for the long-term could be going home. Luckily, it's a strategic move forward for myself tonight, with Elyse going home."

(cut)

"I'd rather we were voting somebody out three days from now and not tonight. But, hey, one step closer to the million tonight."

"Here's the deal. Challenge today - unbelievable. Racing back and forth, I had my nose filled with barbecue sauce. I had <makes biting faces> one, two, three, four pieces in my mouth, halfway down my throat, resisting the urge to gag, running over, and still, through suffocation, yelling 'Go team!' spit it out, and pumping the team up the whole time. I was yellin' at 'em, tellin' em to not quit and keep going the whole time. It was unbelievable. To the victors go the spoils. We have enough pork to feed an army. It's unbelievable. Fat. There's probably some saliva on there. That's one of the things I said in the beginning. 'Guys, your salivary glands are going to be on overload. I want you to spit out everything in your mouth and then get a little bit of spit at the last minute, and do it. This has got everything in there. My dad said saliva - best solvent known to man. It's clean. <takes a bite out of the pork and begins chewing while talking> It's unbelievable. You take the last two times I've played Survivor, roll 'em up into a nice, neat package - the 14 days here, Survivor 23: Redemption Island, I'll take this time over those last experiences. Survivor: South Pacific, I would take, you take the last two times I've played Survivor, what is that now, 60-something days, roll those up into a nice, neat package, Survivor: South Pacific, baby, I'll take this any day over those two! This is unbelievable. Best thing about today's challenge is <pretends he's driving a car> Move over please. <horn sound> We're back in the driver's seat, baby! We own it now. We gotta have two more, two in a row. That makes three total, two in a row. If you go into the merge numbers up, as long as we mind our p's and q's, not get too ahead of ourselves, not get too overconfident, not too much Dragon Slayer stuff going on - maybe a little bit right now <does some of his moves>  BUT, we can own this game, man. That's the best thing about today. Pork, y'know, whatever, but going back on top, 7-6 in numbers, critical."

"I had a little tongue action with Brandon in the challenge, because I had meat in my teeth twice, and he had some, so it was reciprocal tongue action. At this point there are no personal boundaries."

(cut)

"The food was getting stuck in my teeth, and I couldn't get it out of my mouth, it was literally stuck, because you had to bite down so hard. The next person to come help was Brandon, and Brandon helped get it out with his tongue. Very kind of him. (laughs)"

(cut)

"Well, he's married, and I'm married. I had to reciprocate at the end because he also had a chunk of meat that was stuck in his mouth, so iI returned the favor."

(cut)

"I was definitely out of my element for this challenge. I think a lot of my tribemate was too, but I was definitely out of my element. The first ten minutes it was hard for me, because I was laughing so hard. I could hardly chew meat off and run because I was laughing and chewing. It's hard to breathe because you have to run back and forth and you have to keep the food in your mouth without swallowing it. You haven't eaten anything for three days, so that was hard. Then everybody's spitting in it too, and you hear everybody clearing their throat. <makes spitting sounds> That type of action into the meat we're now about to eat."

(cut)

"Two ounces was how close that challenge was. It just goes to show you how every tribe member has to pull their weight. It takes two ounces to win - we'll take it."

(cut)

"Definitely this has brought us up to a new high and a new level of camaraderie. This morning we didn't sleep very well, it was obvious because everybody was doing somersaults and moving around in the shelter. It was hard to get motivated. We're out of food. The last four bananas we had have been consumed by birds. We hardly have any more plantains. The coconuts, we can only eat so many coconuts before we start gagging on that. The fish is good but it's still not enough for seven people. Today I think we're going to be refilled and recharged for moving forward."

(cut)

"We have at least three pounds of meat per person, vegetables, and we have the fat. More importantly, it's the psychological security that we have escaped another Tribal Council and we are in the game still." 

"It's been a long time out here (laughs), and 13 days doesn't quite sum up how long it takes to get here. It might as well have been an eternity. At first it's like culture shock, you miss your friends, you miss your job, you miss your bed, you miss all the things you expect to be homesick for when you're gone, and then you get here and you live it, and you think, oh, it's gonna lift. And it doesn't (laughs), and it just keep s getting colder at night, and hotter in the daytime. The bed doesn't get any softer, and the food doesn't get any tastier. It just wears on you. Day after day after day. To make it to day 13, we're almost two weeks in, we're at the one-third mark. That's kind of a big deal, especially to somebody like me. I'm making huge strides. I don't share a fork with people back home. I don't like to share a glass. I just get up and get another one. I certainly don't share a pillow, much less go a night without brushing my teeth. I'm like a new girl out here. (laughs) I'm like a whole new freaking person. Who knows what I'll be when I get back. Thank God it has gotten a little bit easier."

(cut)

"I'm really proud of myself but I think that it'll really sink in when my family has a chance to see what I'm doing and when they get a chance to know what I went through. They're probably gonna call me an idiot and go, 'What the hell did you do that for? You didn't need to prove anything to any of us.' But I guess it's to prove to myself. I certainly didn't think I'd make it this long without a cellphone. I thought I would have totally flipped my lid and gone bananas, but I'm still here."

"Man, tonight's vote is extremely tricky. This could possibly be the first blindside of Savaii. As long as it's not me, I'm happy. <laughs> Ozzy, first thing he says is let's get it over with, Cochran's gone. Everyone's saying, 'Yeah...Cochran...OK,' <laughs>. We already discussed it, and Elyse is gone. She's had that Miss America smile for long enough. Bye bye."

(cut)

"It's extremely hard to want Ozzy to trust me - to need Ozzy to trust me, first of all, since he has the idol. So tonight's vote is gonna be really, really scary. It's going to be interesting, especially coming back, because Elyse gets blindsided, essentially Ozzy gets blindsided; it's a two-for-one. How's Ozzy gonna trust me when he thinks we're all voting for Cochran. <shrugs> That's the question I'm trying to figure out."

(cut)

"It sucks because when there's a semi-agreement between one group and a little bit of backstabbing going on with another group, you really don't look at each other that much. It's kind of obvious. We're gonna have to try to pretend we're one big happy family again. Once we get to Tribal, that's when all the niceties go out the window and the real fun begins."

"Once we had the hidden immunity idol, and decided who would know about it - which was Albert, Coach, myself - I think that the first real line drawn in the game. We had this beginning alliance with Rick and myself and Albert, but we're like blood brothers now. We know about the hidden immunity idol. We're no longer this pure tribe with an even six-person alliance. It's now the three of us within this kind of semi-superficially unified tribe."

(cut)

"It's really the three of us calling the shots, but it's not superficial in that we just want to ask them. I think it's real. If they have an opinion it's important now to feel like what they said can go. So yeah, up to a point, if Rick wants Edna out and the three of us don't, I think we could convince him otherwise."

"The main alliance - and we kept on saying it's an alliance of five, but in my mind it's an alliance of six. We'll start with the alliance of five. We've got myself, Sophie, Albert, Brandon, and Rick. The sixth is like my right-hand man out here, like my assistant coach. Those are the six people in the alliance. The Strong Six, I like to call them."

(cut)

"The people that know about the immunity idol are myself, Sophie, and Albert."

(cut)

"It's something I struggle with because I like to have all the cards on the table. We agreed that if anybody found the clue, he'd share it with everybody. The problem kind of started when Albert found the clue. He found the second clue that had two clues on it. He comes up to me and says, I'm only going to share this right now with you and Soph. The reason being that Brandon is a loose cannon, and he might tell anybody. He might just say one day, hey, we've got the idol, it's hanging on the tree, take it if you feel unprotected at Tribal tonight. Who knows. Albert kind of like started this secrecy within the alliance, which I don't like, but I don't want to betray my loyalty to Albert, who told me in complete confidence. Albert couldn't find the idol."

(cut)

"I said, I'm going to take it on myself to look for it. I went to look for it, couldn't find it, knelt down and prayed, and lo and behold, there's the idol. And so, it was pretty cool. It puts me in a really good position. It is my idol, that I want to use for the alliance, first and foremost. I hope not to use it at all, and I'll tell you why; I've been thinking about it a lot. If we go through this game and we don't need to use it, normally I would just play it at 5. But if I played it at 5, just in case, I think it would be foolish of me. Let's say, possibly, Rick and Brandon are sitting on the jury at that point in time. Even if they're not, they're at Redemption, they're gonna find out about it, because everybody's gonna talk on the jury. That would blow my trust. That would not blow my cover, but that could be something Brandon would feel truly betrayed about. I know he's going to feel betrayed at some point in time, but that's months down the line, and I think I can patch that up. I want to patch it up, I want to know Brandon. He's gonna be one of those friends I think I'll come out friends for life. But it can't be known at the final Tribal. I think I'm going to keep that hidden immunity idol and not play it. My second choice would be to play it as a tribe and even the numbers and just tell everybody, look, we found it, and it's out on the table. My last choice would be to play the idol once I'm only by myself.
