The camera then shows a view of Paloma and Jacquie walking along a jungle path towards the water well together, before zooming in on Paloma> Paloma - CONFESSIONAL: Today's Day 31, so we've been out here for a month. <A front view of both Paloma and Jacquie is now shown> You have to pace yourself and go slow, and when you finally get to the Final Six, this is the time to start sprinting like a gazelle. <laughs> <The camera shows an antelope leaping through the grassland> I mean, I thought it was the right time for me to step up and make a move, so I formed another alliance with Jacquie… <A clip of Paloma filling the water jug at the well as she speaks to Jacquie is shown next> Paloma: <to Jacquie> Even though I, like, have Charlie close, like, <A quick clip of Charlie is now shown> I'm still in this for myself and I just want people to know that too, you know? <The camera then focuses back in on Paloma again, as Jacquie says "Yeah; you should"> Paloma - CONFESSIONAL: <continued> Obviously I know that if we do get to the Final Four or Final Three I'm gonna have to betray one of them, <Another view of a thoughtful Jacquie is then shown> but <pause> I'm not lying, like, because I'm a bad person; <short pause> it's because I want to win a million dollars… <The music now changes, as the camera abruptly cuts ahead to show Paloma and Charlie talking to each other in a grassy area> Charlie: <to Paloma> We might have to think about taking Dan out either this Tribal Council or the next one… <Paloma nods her head in agreement> Paloma: <to Charlie> Well, yeah, or else he's gonna win… <A view of Charlie is shown> Charlie: <to Paloma> Like, I don't want him to win the Final Three Immunity and then one of us has to go, you know? <The camera then focuses back in on Paloma for a few seconds> Paloma: <to Charlie> I mean, I'm not gonna worry about it now… <Charlie is shown again> Charlie: No, we'll do okay. <The camera now zooms out to show both Charlie and Paloma> Paloma: <to Charlie> But, <long pause> we could definitely have Jacquie with us in the Final Three… <A thoughtful-looking Charlie is shown, as he says "Okay"> Paloma - CONFESSIONAL: My strategy for this game is based off of poker. Like, I love to play Texas Hold 'Em, <The camera shows a close-up view of Paloma again> and whenever I play tournaments, I usually lay low in the beginning and be, like, really quiet, <laughs> and let my biggest threats take each other out, <A prominent sound is heard, as a rapid clip of Randy is shown> and then when it's down to the final people I get pretty aggressive and just step up my game, <Another view of a contemplative Paloma is shown> and <pause> that's what I've done here, like, to a tee, so <long pause> hopefully that means I'm gonna win… <laughs> <A view of Paloma returning back to camp carrying the water jug is shown next> Paloma: Alright, we've got new water… <The camera then shows Randy turning his head> Randy - CONFESSIONAL: By far, the most hypocritical person out here is Paloma. <The camera now shows another close-up view of a giggling Paloma> She talks about being one of the "good" people," and then she insults my dead dog for no reason, uh, <short pause> the thing that she knows means more to me than anything else. <A wide view of several Babongo members gathered around the fire is shown next> You know, after what she said last night, that bitch is the worst kind of person, and <pause> it's the kind that I hope I never see again in my life… <The camera now shows Charlie and Paloma looking through the packets of coffee> Charlie: <to Paloma> We're gonna have coffee this morning, right? <Charlie is now shown selecting a packet of coffee, before the camera cuts back to Randy> Randy - CONFESSIONAL: It's no secret that Charlie, Dan, and Paloma are coming after me; you know, the next vote is gonna be me and then G.C., <The camera shows a clip of G.C. fishing from the tribe's boat> so <long pause> I plan on never exchanging another word with Paloma except to be nasty to her. <Paloma can be seen brewing a cup of coffee> I've been nice this entire game and there's no need to be nice anymore, so <long pause> my goal is to make them absolutely miserable until I leave. <A spooky music begins to play, as the camera zooms out to show both Paloma and Randy alone by the fire> Randy: <to Paloma> You brought my dog into it last night. That was a bad [censored] move, dumbass! <Paloma begins to say something. Randy is then shown knocking the cup of hot coffee out of Paloma's hand, as the mug breaks and the coffee spills out onto the ground> Paloma: <shouting> What are you doing?! You could have burned me! <Randy is then shown> Randy: <shouting> Hey, you don't talk! I talk! <The camera now shows a distressed Paloma> Paloma: <to Randy> Go away… <A close-up view of a relentless Randy is shown next> Randy: <to Paloma> No, I'm not going away! You're stuck with me here or on the jury, so get used to it… <An annoyed Paloma is shown staring down at the ground and trying to ignore Randy, before the camera returns to an amused Randy> Randy - CONFESSIONAL: <continued> It's fun for me to watch them squirm, and I absolutely love to see their misery. <Paloma is shown looking sad> You know, Paloma made it personal last night.

He almost burnt me… <Another view of Dan is shown> Dan - CONFESSIONAL: I'm having a hard time dealing with Randy. <A close-up view of an insensitive Randy is shown> I mean, he brings up Charlie being gay as if we can't have a friendship, and <pause> to me, that seems like something you do back in grade school. <The camera focuses back in on Dan, Charlie, and Paloma> I think we share a bond of both being lawyers, number one; both being very intelligent; um, <pause> going to good schools. <A view of Charlie is shown, as he wipes his eyes> You know, I don't care what somebody's sexuality is… <Another view of an uncomfortable Paloma is then shown next> Paloma: Isn't he horrible? <The camera scrolls over to a calm-looking Dan> Dan: <to Paloma> But don't let him fracture us because of his personal attacks. <A view of a sad-looking Charlie is shown, as he nods> Don't let him break us up; <short pause> that's what he wants… <The camera then abruptly cuts back to a devious Randy again> Randy - CONFESSIONAL: Right now, I'm getting in their heads and picking them apart in the deepest, darkest way possible. <An emotional Charlie is shown, as he says "It just sucks"> I want to get them so mixed up and doubting themselves that come the Reward Challenge and the Immunity Challenge, they're not gonna know which way is up. <There is a prominent drumbeat, as the camera shows a glaring Randy again> You know, let's play hardball; <short pause> I'm here to play… <The screen abruptly fades out>

G.C. can then be seen walking along a grassy path> G.C. - CONFESSIONAL: Jacquie, Jacquie, Jacquie; <short pause> I mean, girl votes Crystal out and then she sends me over to Exile. <G.C. is shown setting his bag and water canteen down> I just don't get this girl! <laughs> You know, if she would've voted Charlie at the last Tribal Council, I would be in the majority right now, and <pause> I am upset about it… <A spooky shift in the music occurs, as G.C. can be seen taking off his shirt and then jumping off of the wooden bridge into the shallow lake waters. An aerial view of 'Exile' is then shown> G.C. - CONFESSIONAL: At this point in the game, I got no allegiance to anybody, man. <The camera shows another view of G.C.> I mean, I would vote off anybody probably; you know what I mean? <laughs> Uh, I'm gonna have to become a mercenary if I want to stay in this game because Charlie and Dan and Paloma, they definitely have a tight alliance and there's no way that I can break them three up right now, so <short pause> I'm gonna have to get them to go after Randy and Jacquie. Not me… <laughs> <An overhead view of the vast African savannah is now shown, as G.C. can be seen walking through a grassy area from faraway> G.C. - CONFESSIONAL: Out here, I only have myself to depend on; <short pause> that's pretty much how I grew up as a kid anyway, <G.C. is now shown walking over to the luxurious hut> but <long pause> you know, I feel like the best thing for me to do right now is to go ahead and take the Comfort and the food, <A close-up view of the wooden apple on a stand is shown> and get strong for the next Immunity Challenges… <'Bwiti Ahh Whoa' begins to play, as the camera cuts ahead to show G.C. walking over to a table with a steak dinner on it> G.C.: <talking aloud> A nice afternoon meal… <The camera continues to focus on G.C. for a few seconds, as he cuts into the juicy steak and then eats a piece of it> G.C. - CONFESSIONAL: You know, I've been out here now for 31 days, and I can't believe I have a one-in-six chance to win a million dollars. <The camera now shows a clip of G.C. lounging in the hammock> I'm gonna try every angle I can, man. <Another close-up view of a thoughtful G.C. is shown next> Any way I can get in there to stay in the game, I'm gonna do it, and hopefully, you know, I can make somethin' happen… <laughs> <There is a prominent drumbeat, as the camera shows an aerial view of the wooden hut.

The person who's away spending time with her mom. <An emotional Paloma nods her head> That's who took it away. <The camera cuts back to a glaring Randy> That dumb bitch didn't care about anybody else, and I guarantee you one thing, <Charlie can be heard asking "What?"> she's not thinking about you right now. Any of you… <Another clip of a smirking Randy is shown> Randy - CONFESSIONAL: If this plan works and I'm not voted out in two days, it'll be one of the fastest turn-arounds in the history of Survivor, <Charlie is shown again, as he says "I really want Jacquie to go"> and if it costs Jacquie the game, she can go cry to mommy about it.

It's about time… <A close-up view of the Babongo tribe's hut is shown, as the clouds can be seen shifting rapidly behind it. G.C., Charlie, and Dan are then shown sitting by the fire together> G.C.: I know that we haven't had much of an alliance, but <short pause> man, I think we should vote Jacquie over Randy… <The camera now shows Dan looking up> Dan: <to G.C.> Why should we vote Jacquie before Randy? <G.C. is shown again> G.C.: <to Dan> She's flipped on everybody, bro, and <long pause> Jacquie's strong, man. <The camera fades out to show a view of Jacquie> I mean, you saw her in the challenge today?

<Charlie can be seen nodding his head, as he says "Right"> Randy's not that well liked, man, <The camera focuses back in on G.C., as he takes a short pause> and then we can get rid of him anytime we want cause he'll always only have one vote… <A close-up view of Randy is shown, before the camera cuts back to G.C. again> G.C. - CONFESSIONAL: So what's happening right now is Randy thinks Paloma's going, <A view of Paloma is shown> everybody else thinks Randy's the one going, but <short pause> if my plan works out, you know, hopefully it'll be Jacquie that goes tonight. <A clip of an unsuspecting Jacquie tending to the fire is shown next> You know, I feel like if Randy stays, that keeps me off the radar cause they're always gonna go after Randy first, so <long pause> my strategy right now is to offer my vote to the people in power and just see what I can do, man… <laughs> <Another view of Charlie, G.C., and Dan is then shown> G.C.: Well, if you want my vote, I'm voting Jacquie. <Charlie can be heard saying "Okay"> I won't vote for you guys tonight or next time no matter what. <There is an extended silence, as the camera continues to show the three Babongo members talking in a group> That sound like a plan?

Posts: 4761 (05/19/09 10:10 AM) Reply Quote More Recent Posts Message Connection Block Invite	Spoiler [+] EPISODE 12 NOTES: Here are a few important notes about Episode 12 and (possibly) future episodes in the story. I encourage you all to read them so that you have a better understanding of what is going on. 1) This is one of the episodes that I'm not sure how people will feel about. I could definitely see some mixed reviews, but obviously I'm hoping for more on the positive side. For some reason, I had a tough times writing certain parts of this episode and I'm not really sure why. There are some things that I like and some that I would probably change now, but I definitely don't think this is a bad episode or anything (I've written worse). I'm just interested to see what people thought, I guess. 2) This isn't my favorite recap, but I do like it. I had to go back a bit to Episode 10 just to explain the circumstances of Ken being voted out so that Randy burning the idol and his behavior in this episode would make sense. I also think the recap does a good job of showing Jacquie's position of having to decide between both alliances and the reasons why she switched: 1) Randy burning the idol / Jacquie doubting his trust; 2) Paloma offering a F2 alliance; 3) Crystal being too aggressive with her. I also had to show the comment from Paloma about Randy's dog too, although I would have liked to show more from the Tribal Council. Anyway, there's no use in me rambling about the recap. It was very straightforward… 3) This is a pretty good post-TC scene, I would say. I think Charlie has a good line about Jacquie biting into the apple and then spitting it out and going back with Kota. That's a pretty accurate take on what happened too, but it's definitely not the end of the temptations for Jacquie in this episode. Jacquie and Paloma have a brief conversation saying that Randy's going to hate them (that he does) and Paloma gets a confessional about the TC comment. I deliberately left all insight from her out of last episode, so this is a pretty decent ep for her. It was good of her to show some remorse, but I think it's funny that she says she doesn't regret it if Randy will stop talking to her. The scene ends with some kindof angry/snarky confessionals from Randy, who is upset about his position in the game and once again feels like he is going to be the next to go. This is why he decides to make life hell for the Charlie/Paloma/Dan trio. 4) The Day 31 scene opens with some interesting and pretty insightful confessionals from Paloma, who talks about making another alliance with Jacquie. She says that even though she's close with Charlie she's in the game for herself. This is important because up until now she has seemed kindof like a sheep who was just going to take Charlie to the F2 and then lose to him. That may not be the case. She says that she knows she's going to have to betray either Jacquie or Charlie, and she's not lying because she's a bad person but because she wants to win. This becomes pretty key to the story of the episode. There's then a brief scene of Charlie and Paloma talking about having to get rid of Dan soon. Sorry that this didn't really amount to anything in the episode. I put it into the preview to give you some hope that this group of three might break up, so sorry that it didn't happen yet again. Paloma gives another interesting confessional here in explaining that her entire strategy is based around playing Poker games, where she starts off very quiet and lets her threats eliminate themselves and then she emerges in the end game to win. Earlier, she explained that in the initial Fang tribe she was hiding behind Charlie and Dan but would have to stand on her own two foot after the switch, so I think the combination of these two things help to explain her early edit. 5) The remainder of the Day 31 scene focuses on Randy, who says that Paloma is hypocritical because of the comments she made, yet she preaches being one of the "good" people. I think anytime there's a good vs. evil situation the lines always start to blur at some point, and my hope is that Charlie, Paloma, and even Dan may have got a bit of negativity and some of you may have been rooting for Randy in this situation. Randy has some fun lines here, and his plan becomes to be outright nasty to D/C/P because he thinks he's 100% going next. I had a bit of dilemma with this because while it's been said in confessionals that Randy was making their lives hell, I didn't show much of it. I don't even think he was that bad on the real show when he had his rampage on there, but in my reality, I think his behavior was MUCH worse than I showed. There's a few reasons for this, but one of the reasons is that I didn't want to really be writing derogatory comments and I didn't want to do a complete character assassination on Randy. For example, although the thing about Charlie and Dan getting married can be considered mean, it's also kindof funny (to me). It's actually one of my favorite things about this episode. So what WASN'T shown was that Randy probably made much worse comments about Charlie's sexuality, knowing that it would mentally affect him. Similarly, he could have made comments about Paloma being an immigrant or Dan's insecurity/anxiety, possibly Paloma's religion, etc. Things like that that I wouldn't have shown due to it being too mean, but the goal was for him to attack things about them that would really get under their skin. One thing to clarify: Randy's comments were said with a strategic purpose, so if he made negative comments about Charlie being gay or whatever, I'm not trying to suggest that he really believes that, it was just to attack Charlie in a way that would get into his head. I chose to focus on Charlie's reaction because I think that him showing some emotion showed a different side of him than just being a boring strategy bot the whole time, and I hope that it makes him seem more human than before. 6) This is a very simple Reward challenge, but I don't think it's bad or boring. I know the last Reward Challenge was basically a quiz too (the one where they answered questions about their tribe), but I actually like this challenge. It's essentially the quiz challenge from Borneo, except I adapted it to fit into a target/Bullseye so that it would be a little different. I also used some of the real questions that were in one of the Gabon challenges and then I made up some of my own questions based on my own research. I really have nothing to say about this challenge, so I'll just move on to the twist… 7) As I wrote last week, I was a little upset because the real show did something very similar to what I had planned for the family visit. You'll probably recall that, like the hidden Immunity Idol, I was growing tired of the family visit last season. I didn't really like the one I did in Micronesia. It was extremely boring. So I needed something to spice it up and I decided the best way to do so would be to make the winner choose between having their own loved one or giving it up so everyone else can get their loved one and then going to Exile. That person would NOT get their loved one. I hated how Taj got to see her husband even though she supposedly made a sacrifice to go to Exile. I was torn about who the best person would be to have win this challenge. Randy was automatically out since he didn't have a loved one - and that's also why I couldn't do a traditional family visit either because there would be no one for him. Having Paloma or Charlie win would kindof be inconsequential to anything, especially with them saying they would have given it up and Dan would have probably given it up as well. BTW, I have to again say that I loved chapera rocks' idea of Dan winning, giving it up, and then being targeted because everyone thought he would win for giving up the visit. I really wish that I had done that instead. But so much of Jacquie's story had revolved around her being the "Eve" of Gabon, so I wanted to give her yet another temptation and another difficult decision. This time, her decision would lead to her downfall, and I tried to foreshadow this a lot in earlier episodes. I forget if it's Episode 6 or 7 now, but in one of them she has a confessional where she says her biggest fear is being voted out due to making one wrong decision. That's what ultimately happens to her, so quotes like that usually come back into play somehow… 8) Should Jacquie have given up her Reward? Just to be on the safe side, probably. I think she had valid reasons for keeping it though: she does live in a different state now than he mother, so I'm sure they don't see each other that much and it's also true that she won the challenge, so why shouldn't she be entitled to it? But part of the reason why she DIDN'T give it up is quite simply that I did not want to write a family visit with four people's loved ones and this was a way to ensure that that didn't happen. Trust me that it would have been extremely boring and it would have made the episode worse. I know that it's a very similar situation to Cindy and the car curse in real Guatemala. That's what originally gave me the idea to do this, although I didn't want to just do it with the car again (plus Candice technically broke the car curse in my universe). So I hope you guys like how this little "twist" works out, especially that it eliminated boring Jacquie in the end. Just for interest, the loved ones were supposed to be Paloma's younger sister, one of Charlie's brothers (probably the younger one who is also a lawyer), Dan's older sister, and G.C.'s girlfriend. Randy would have NOT had a loved one. Part of me wanted him to win the challenge and then keep the Reward just out of complete hatred so that no one else would get their loved one. This is what would have happened if Randy was actually voted out, but I went a different direction in the story. 9) G.C.'s Exile scene is another one that I really like. Probably my favorite of this episode, actually. I think it gives a pretty good overview of his place in the game right now with him being upset at Jacquie, not feeling any allegiance to anyone, and then being willing to vote out whoever he has to in order to be able to stay in the game. I also think it is nice to see the Comfort twist come into play for an individual since the object was for the temptation to increase as the game went on, so Corinne had more food and more pillows etc. than Paloma did, but now that it's almost to the end of the game, the temptation increased again and G.C. had an entire steak dinner/feast in the hut waiting for him in addition to a lot of fruit. So even though he did take a disadvantage in the Immunity Challenge, the advantage of having abundant food and comfort for two days definitely should pay off. 10) I also like this scene from Day 31 with Randy and the three from the Powerhouse back at camp. I think it's really interesting to see how Randy backtracks on his earlier behavior and decides to throw Jacquie under the bus to get D/C/P upset at her and want to vote her out before him. Again, I think you get a sense of D/C/P being a little self-righteous here by insisting that they would have given up the Reward after talking about how much they all wanted to see their family members. Jacquie hits the nail on the head later in the episode when she says that it's easy to say that when you're not the one who has to make the decision. This was a scene that I had trouble with. I'm not sure that I got Randy down the way I wanted to here, but I think you get the idea of him doing a complete verbal tirade on Jacquie and making them blame HER for not giving up the Reward for them. 11) This Reward is okay. I really dislike that I had to use another Reward from the real show, but I already had my "big" Reward for the next episode and I could not think of anything else to have. I wanted to keep the family visit secret until the very end, so I had to promote some kind of Reward before the challenge so that they wouldn't suspect anything. So, anyway, the Gorilla Reward it is. The one thing I did like was the parallelism between this scene and the one before it where Randy talks about Jacquie being voted off and then Jacquie's mom asks her if she's going to be voted off now. Also the line about her mom saying not to trust lawyers was also foreshadowing that the two of them would betray her in this episode. I should mention that another reason I dislike the family visit is because I don't know the loved one's actual personality, so I have to kindof envision that person myself. For example, I couldn't really find out anything about Jacquie's mom except her name so I just sortof made up what I thought her mother might be like. So that's probably my biggest issue with the family visit, actually… I don't really have much to say about this Reward scene. It's kindof all fluff anyway because there can't be any strategizing with only one actual castaway. So I'll just move on… 12) Day 32: we see a lot more from Randy and Jacquie here, and this is another one of the scenes that I do like from this episode. What Randy does is tell Jacquie that D/C/P are upset with her and that they're planning on voting her off next because she didn't give up the Reward. In reality, he instigated a lot of their anger and the things that were said about her. The reason he does this is because (1) it will make D/C/P less likely to vote for him, and more likely to vote for Jacquie, which keeps him safe; (2) he can tell Jacquie she's going home unless she does a tie vote with him and G.C. It's clear that Randy lies to Jacquie here and exaggerates the level of animosity towards her from D/C/P, even telling her that they flat-out asked him to vote her off. That part NEVER happened. For anyone that recalls the real China season Final Six, think of this as the exact same dynamic right now. Randy/G.C. are Peih-Gee and Erik. Jacquie is Denise, who appears to be fourth place and C/D/P are Todd, Amanda, and Courtney. My dynamic is a little more complex than that, but that's the basic idea. So Randy says Jacquie can either go with him, or he'll vote her out. The next part of this scene is where Jacquie returns to camp and there is a lot of fakeness from everyone, and everyone is acting extra nice. Jacquie is also kindof being on the annoying side though by making comments like she wanted her mom to meet everyone and she didn't want everyone to hate her and it was the best Reward ever, ever, ever. In uncomfortable situations like that it's probably best to not say anything, and you definitely don't continue to ramble on about it. Anyway, the scene ends with a confessional from Jacquie where she says that Randy was just blowing smoke at her and her alliance is with Paloma and they're voting Randy out. As of last episode, Jacquie sided with Kota and it appears that's where she still stands now. 13) One thing I would have liked to do was have all of the loved ones show up as partners in the Immunity Challenge, after D/C/P had already gotten upset with Jacquie, but because of Randy not having one I couldn't do this. I think it would have been a good idea though. So after not having very many physical challenges after the merge, I needed one that involved some kind of athletics with it and I like the idea behind the "jail-break" kind of challenge so I just combined elements from several of these that have been on the show to make this one work. This challenge also had another purpose, although it got glossed over in my edit, which may not be a good thing for Dan, in that he cost Kota the last challenge that had lock/key in it (back in Episode 7) and now he overcame that here in order to win Immunity. I didn't give him a confessional about that here. I'm sortof saving it for something in the next episode, but he was almost non-existent in this episode for winning Immunity. Could be good or bad…. G.C. took a risk on taking Comfort in hopes that he would get strong for the challenge and overcome whatever disadvantage he got. He ended up in third place after having twice as many knots to work through, so that was pretty good. Plus Paloma did really bad like she usually does in challenges. Charlie and Randy weren't much better this time. As for the actual challenge, it may have been a little boring. It's sometimes hard to write physical challenges because people are just doing a repetitive action over and over again. So Dan wins. Sorry about that, but it was necessary here to ensure his safety in the next week, just when Charlie started to think seriously about turning on him. 14) This strategy scene probably ranges from somewhere between "okay" and "good." I definitely wouldn't call it "great," but it is what it is. It begins with Randy and G.C. talking while walking back to camp, and this is where G.C. supposedly agrees to vote against Paloma with Randy and Jacquie. Unbeknownst to Randy, though, Jacquie goes right to the Powerhouse for them to vote Randy off. Notice that Charlie says to Dan that he knew he wasn't going anywhere, this is definitely deceptive. If Dan didn't win, he may have actually gone home (but probably not since Paloma, Randy, Jacquie were all gunning for each other). But he still deliberately gave Dan a false sense of security. In the next part of the scene, we see an extended conversation between G.C., Dan, and Charlie. Last week, G.C. was the one to suggest that the Fangs vote for Charlie, and now this is the first time that he kindof made a move to actually target someone on his own, in going for Jacquie. His confessional about becoming a mercenary was supposed to foreshadow that he would use his vote to try to get in with the people in power, figuring that they'll have to fracture sooner or later. And I think he presents a good case. I mean, it's clear that he's never been a mastermind or anything, but he did a pretty decent job here UNLESS he just ends up taking Jacquie's reserved fourth place finish, which is definitely possible. 15) The final part of the scene is the D/C/P trio, but mostly D/C talking about whether they should boot Randy or Jacquie. I probably should have shortened this part a little more because it was likely fairly boring. The main thing here is that Paloma doesn't want to betray Jacquie, so Paloma and Jacquie are still going to vote for Randy. Randy is going to vote for Paloma. G.C. is going to vote for Jacquie, so that means whoever Dan and Charlie decide to vote for will end up going home either in a 4-1-1 vote (if Randy) or a 3-2-1 vote (if Jacquie). This is what Charlie was trying to say in his last confessional. So I wanted to purposely leave them undecided until the very end, and I hope that, if nothing else, the Tribal Council vote was suspenseful… 16) Thankfully, this episode has a pretty good Tribal Council, if only for the 3-2-1 vote. The questions aren't bad though either. A lot of it focuses on the Reward Challenge, as is to be expected. Jacquie makes a good point that she won the challenge fair and square, so she shouldn't be expected to give up that one Reward. Nobody else had to give up theirs. Dan and Charlie respond to that. Charlie's answer is more negative than Dan's. Dan said that he still has to make a choice about giving up Immunity. This is true, but Charlie was kindof slippery. I think people did expect it. The questions then turn to ethics and Paloma (still one of the "good" people) talks about how she's lied and that the game is completely different from real life. It brings up a good point about how can she be lying and making comments about someone's dead dog and still seem like one of the "good" people? As I said, she and Charlie should get some negativity for this ep. Even Dan admits he has lied (very minor things) and he will ask forgiveness for it when he gets home. He's not saying that excuses him, just that he will go to church after the game. This is why I almost had Randy attacking Paloma and Dan's religion earlier in the episode but I decided not to. Jacquie talks about being nervous about the vote - that's pretty typical for her. All her confessionals are pretty repetitive, and then we get to something good: Charlie talking who he can and can't beat in the Final Two. It's not like Charlie suddenly had this wake-up call like Stephen/J.T. seemed to do in the Final Four. Charlie had been talking about having to vote out Dan in order to win since about Episode 7, but he said he wanted to keep Dan around as long as absolutely possible due to them being great friends. Charlie says he thinks he can definitely beat Randy, and he would have the hardest time against Dan. I think he would definitely beat Paloma, but he strategically doesn't say this because he doesn't want Paloma think she'd be handing him over a win in the F2. Also, he doesn't ever specifically say he would lose to Dan, and he makes Dan think he would be willing to do so, which makes a possible betrayal seem less likely, so I think Charlie played those questions pretty well. Finally, Randy calls for a coup against the Powerhouse by saying that the people on the outs (G.C. and Jacquie) should force a tie against them and try to take them out. 17) So now they vote. I purposely showed every vote except for Charlie and Dan. Maybe I should have not showed both Randy votes or something. It might be interesting to note that although G.C. said his vote wasn't vengeful earlier in the episode, it kindof seems like it might be: for "hurting his game" by getting rid of Crystal. And the votes are revealed: 3-2-1, I like it. I didn't want to have a tie at the Final Six yet again. It seems like the most common time for it to happen with me, but I liked that the dynamics were different this season in that a lot of people were willing to target each other. I honestly think anyone could have been vulnerable, depending on who won Immunity. So, Jacquie, the tribe has spoken and the most boring character leaves the story, giving us what I would say is a pretty decent Final Five. There's a nice variety of characters and potential for shakeups in the remaining two eps. 18) JACQUIE AS THE TWELFTH BOOT: I'll talk a little bit about Jacquie now. First of all, between booting Randy or Jacquie in this episode, the choice was a no-brainer and I'm sure that everyone will agree that keeping Randy around will be a million times better for the story. I don't mean that in a bad way. I like Jacquie and every character has a different role. I know I've picked on her a bit this season and called her boring, but I definitely don't think she had one of the strongest personalities of this cast. She ends up finishing in the same place as Denise and Alexis, all of whom were kindof similar in terms of my stories: females with kindof MORish, UTRish edits who had a few good episodes and were ignored at other times. Jacquie's story was supposed to be equated to "Eve." She was put in a situation several times where she was offered temptation to flip to another side or another alliance, and there were quite a few important decisions that she had to make. Her strategy was to seem like she was naïve and like she wasn't a leader, and this actually worked against her because she came across as too wishy-washy in the end. Why was Jacquie voted out? Maybe it would have been better to get rid of Randy, since it's clear that he is gunning for D/C/P now and Jacquie wasn't, but there are a few reasons why Dan and Charlie got rid of her: 1) She was definitely stronger in challenges than Randy, which would give her higher chance of winning Immunity when they wanted to get her out; 2) She was more likable and potentially more dangerous in a Final Two situation (even though it's unlikely she would get there anyway); 3) For Charlie, he may have sensed that Paloma might have actually been considering taking Jacquie to the F2 when Paloma suggested they could have Jacquie in the Final Three instead of Dan; 4) Because she was constantly flipping and not solidly staying on a single side. Overall, I enjoyed Jacquie. I think she served her role well, and she was good for the story when I needed to use her! 19) EPISODE 13: I have to say, this season has been a struggle for a lot of reasons - I'm so glad there is only one episode left before the finale, although I really, really hope this does not fall victim to my pre-finale episode curse of being one of the worst episodes of the season. I think it has potential to be surprisingly great, or just end up as one of the lowest as the season, so I really have to try to get everything right. I will say a few things about it though: (1) As much as I was maybe not so in favor of the Reward in this episode, I really LOVE the Reward scene(s) next episode and the Reward, so in my opinion, that will be one of the highlights in terms of the character development there. I know it's essentially the same Reward that Dreamz got from Fiji, but it really ties into my story here and the actual scene is one of my favorite Rewards that I've ever written. (2) There is going to be some interesting stuff going on back at camp strategically. One thing in particular, but it depends how well I'm able to capture it in my writing. There is potential for the Powerhouse to turn on itself, and the situation is almost like the actual Final Five of Tocantins. Charlie/Dan can easily be equated to Stephen and J.T., so could Randy, G.C., and Paloma band together to break up the most powerful duo? There will be some good strategy, for sure, and it should lead to a very interesting vote in the end. It's probably not going to be the best of the season or anything, but I guarantee another great finale to come in early June! 20) Finally, I really hope that you all enjoyed the episode, and I would once again like to offer my sincere thanks to you for reading it. I'm amazed to still have so many people reading into the eighth season (wow!). I would greatly appreciate it if you could spend a few minutes to leave some comments on the episode and let me know what you thought. Thanks in advance for all the replies!

I will do that now... 2) The average for Episode 11 was 9.038, just barely scraping out a 9. I decided not to include YemaGrl1988's "1" rating after careful deliberation because I think everyone agrees that it wasn't based on the quality of the episode. I'm definitely not complaining about the average, but I still think this episode was one of the best of the season and should have been a little higher. But that's okay. We'll see how it goes for Episode 12... 3) Kitty, I'm replying to your post right now, and yes, I did include your rating and popularity for Episode 11.

Posts: 4766 (05/19/09 11:02 AM) Reply Quote More Recent Posts Message Connection Block Invite	NOTE: I'm replying to you as if you've read Episode 12 as well, so please don't read this response until you've read the new episode. Thanks! Hello KittyPryde1! Thanks very much for your comments on the episode! I was looking forward to seeing what you had to say, and your post didn't disappoint. It's kindof what I expected you to say, but I always enjoy reading your thoughts no matter what because you always bring up some great points! Sorry if I'm not as detailed as normal. I've been busy. I mainly hated how Paloma acted towards Randy at tribal council. It was completely wrong and out of line. Also, it was extremely stupid of Crystal to basically leave the swing vote alone with her three enemies. Crystal getting the boot sucked too. And Randy burning the idol, as great as it is, still sucked from the perspective that whether you like it or not, that idol is power. What Randy SHOULD have done is use the idol to avenge Ken by booting one of the Powerhouse. It just sucks to see Fang falling apart like this, and it's not even entirely their fault. It's like Tocantins all over again. That's okay about not being as detailed as usual. I understand. Thank you for replying anyway. I know you are obviously a Randy/Fang fan so I'm not surprised at you hating those comments from Paloma. You're right about Crystal making a mistake in leaving Jacquie at camp with the three Kotas. She said she took G.C. because the Reward was about Africa, but she should have just forgot that and taken either Jacquie OR a Kota. I think you're right about Randy and the idol too. I did consider that, but I think sometimes when one makes an emotional decision it's not always the smartest one and that's what happened with Randy. I feel your pain of Fang falling apart, and I know it's my fault for writing the story like that. I totally see the Tocantins comparison, and if it keeps going the same way, we'll see a Charlie and Dan Final Two. Yikes... :S 6.5/10 Thank you. I appreciate that you can still find some redeemable things about it, and that Crystal going didn't completely kill it for you. Hopefully you'll be happier with the Episode 12 outcome and that will allow you to enjoy the episode more. Randy, do you regret burning the idol at all? Thanks for the question. I'm going to save this for the Reunion only because his answer might depend on his ultimate finish. Thank you for your predictions and for filling out the Popularity Poll! I'm really happy to see a lot of high numbers to counter the low ones. :) I don't think you've really had a Christy/Big Tom/Dolly moment in your series, so it'd be nice to see Jacquie get the boot after everyone realizes she's such a threat and thinks she's playing all sides. Congratulations on getting it right. This is was kindof part of it, although not the main reason. The closest I've ever had to this was Rita being voted off in Episode 6 of Fiji (right after the switch). I don't think that went over too well though. But Jacquie's flip-flopping was a big part of the reason she was voted off. Thanks for your Edgic ratings too. I'm sure you hadn't seen it but I had already posted the Edgic chart for Episode 11 on Page 1. Yours are very close to what the "official" ratings ended up being, so excellent job with that! :) Thank you again for your comments and for being one of my most loyal readers of this series! I really appreciate everything! Hope you enjoy the rest of the story, and have a great day! :)

Posts: 1345 (05/19/09 11:54 AM) Registered user Reply Quote More Recent Posts Message Connection Block Invite	COMMENTS & QUESTIONS (A) What did you think of this episode? Please be as detailed as you can, wherever possible. Umm, I liked it actually. I really liked how you made this work and it sits better in my mind than the Rita boot back in Fiji, which I remember I didn't like at all. Having said that, yes, I agree that parts of the episode weren't great, BUT I really thought Jacquie was characterized well here and she was very consistent the whole way through. (B) What was your overall favorite part of the episode? I agree with you. GC's Exile scene was great and it really captures his position in the game. He made a great move here. He probably can't win, but I think he has become a great, different character from ones you've written in the past. I look forward to seeing how you wrap up his story. (C) What would you rate this episode out of 10? (1 being the lowest; 10 being the highest) 8.75 / 10, I think. I really liked it more than you're probably giving yourself credit for. (D) Do you have any questions about this episode that you'd like to see cleared up in a future episode or at the Reunion Show? Jacquie, what would you change to avoid getting voted out at this point? (ex: would she not vote for Crystal, give up her Reward, cause a 3-3 tie... she really had so many places where she fucked-up!) 1. SOLE SURVIVOR POLL (A) Which castaway will be the Sole Survivor? At this point, I'm going to say Charlie, despite his quiet edit. He got the negativity this episode to give him a little bit of doubt. (B) Who do you NOT want to see as the Sole Survivor? Paloma. I like her poker analogy that she made because it's a great way to sum up the UTR gameplay. HOWEVER, the main theme here is good and evil - and I don't think she embodies either one or says anything about either theme as a potential winner. 2. WHAT'S NEXT POLL (A) Which castaway will be voted off in Episode 13? Randy : I see you giving him a big "goodbye" episode, because otherwise, you have the burden of carrying him through to the finale and giving him fourth place, which will force you to end his story in a pretty rapid way. I see this being like Jonathan's boot episode in Cook Islands. (B) Which castaway will be sent to Exile? Umm, I don't know. 20% chance of being right? Let's go with Randy - just to give him more focus in his final episode so we can get more fantastic "I hate everyone" comments about how he basically wants to burn them all to the ground. (C) Do you have any other predictions for Episode 13? Predictable "will they or won't they?" doubt from Charlie/Paloma on whether voting out Dan is the right move. Paloma will debate who she's better off against at the end of the game, but there's not a chance that Randy will work with her. Charlie and Dan will make some sort of smart strategic play to distance themselves from one another: Charlie will be serious that it's almost time to get rid of Dan, and Dan will be happy and positive throughout the episode. Randy will go home after trying to get rid of Dan for being the biggest threat. There will probably be some doubt that it might be smarter to get rid of GC instead, because he's going to have a better chance at winning. Charlie will also be pointed out as a target (probably by GC or Randy) because he's played a great game. 3. POPULARITY POLL (A) Please rate each castaway's popularity from 1-10. 1 is the lowest score, while 10 is the highest. Please try to base your ratings only on the likability of the characters in my story, not how they appeared on the real show. Ace - 5 Bob - 7 Charlie - 7 Corinne - 8 Crystal - 8 Dan - 10 G.C. - 8 Gillian - 9 Jacquie - 7 Kelly - 5 Ken - 6 Marcus - 6 Matty - 4 Michelle - 4 Paloma - 6 Randy - 10 Sugar - 5 Susie - 7 4.

Current Chart * Please factor in your own ratings for Episode 12 for the following questions 1) Based on Edgic, which Survivor(s) do you think have the best chance of winning? 1. Charlie 2. Dan GC is obviously the dark horse. 2) Based on Edgic, which Survivor(s) do you think are not eligible to be the winner, and are therefore "eliminated?" Randy and Paloma

You've never had a "pagonging" where one original tribe has made-up the entire F4. I know it wouldn't be anything like a real pagonging, but GC IS the final Kota left in the game. I also hate hate hate when the Powerhouse is labelled as "the Kota three" because Jacquie is WAY more of a Kota than they will ever be and I get confused. They were on Kota for like... a week? Nine days max? Sorry, I'm annoying. Carry on.

Posts: 4769 (05/19/09 12:34 PM) Reply Quote More Recent Posts Message Connection Block Invite	Hello Cory The Spoiler Slayer! Great to hear from you again and know that you are still reading my fanfics - I thought you had stopped a while ago, so this was a very nice surprise! Thanks for your comments, and I'm glad that you liked the episode. I hope you've enjoyed the earlier part of the story too. :) Umm, I liked it actually. I really liked how you made this work and it sits better in my mind than the Rita boot back in Fiji, which I remember I didn't like at all. Having said that, yes, I agree that parts of the episode weren't great, BUT I really thought Jacquie was characterized well here and she was very consistent the whole way through. Thank you. This is nice to hear. Yeah, I remember the Rita boot getting some bad reviews for being unrealistic, so I haven't tried to do a scenario like that since. Definitely there were parts that could have been improved in this ep. I appreciate the comment about Jacquie's character. As I said, I liked her but I think we all agree on her being pretty dull, so it's always a struggle to write for a character like that and try to make them interesting. I agree with you. GC's Exile scene was great and it really captures his position in the game. He made a great move here. He probably can't win, but I think he has become a great, different character from ones you've written in the past. I look forward to seeing how you wrap up his story. Thanks. Glad you agree with me. It was also the first full scene that I wrote for this episode, so I think that might be why I like it too. I also like G.C. and I'm glad that he's completely opposite from the real show, where I think he got a bad edit and it made people hate him. 8.75 / 10, I think. I really liked it more than you're probably giving yourself credit for. Thanks a lot! If the average stays around this, I'll be quite happy with that. :) Jacquie, what would you change to avoid getting voted out at this point? (ex: would she not vote for Crystal, give up her Reward, cause a 3-3 tie... she really had so many places where she fucked-up!) A great question with so many possible answers. I'll definitely ask this at the Reunion. Thanks. Just wanted to add: I actually SORT of hope GC goes. You've never had a "pagonging" where one original tribe has made-up the entire F4. I know it wouldn't be anything like a real pagonging, but GC IS the final Kota left in the game. I also hate hate hate when the Powerhouse is labelled as "the Kota three" because Jacquie is WAY more of a Kota than they will ever be and I get confused. Yeah, I should have a Pagonging like that at some point but then people would say it was boring and predictable, which is why I've avoided it. I think G.C. being the last Kota doesn't really mean anything now though because the tribe's have basically flipped with G.C. and Randy as "FANG" now and C/D/P as "KOTA" now, even though Paloma was never on Kota. That's why I refer to them as the "Kota Three" because Randy wouldn't know about the name "The Powerhouse." Sorry for the confusion about that. They were on Kota for like... a week? Nine days max? 11 days I think. I believe the switch was on Day 12. Thank you very much for your predictions, and for being very thorough with them. I enjoyed reading your thoughts and you have some great ideas. Randy : I see you giving him a big "goodbye" episode, because otherwise, you have the burden of carrying him through to the finale and giving him fourth place, which will force you to end his story in a pretty rapid way. I see this being like Jonathan's boot episode in Cook Islands. I definitely think that's possible. Randy is quite possibly the biggest character I've had since Jonathan in terms of dominating the "air time" this much (maybe ASS Jamie), and there's even a thread in LTS about the "star" of the season never making the finale, so it's quite possible you could be right. Good comparison to Jonathan too. Umm, I don't know. 20% chance of being right? Let's go with Randy - just to give him more focus in his final episode so we can get more fantastic "I hate everyone" comments about how he basically wants to burn them all to the ground. I guess it would depend on who wins the Reward. There's a good chance that Dan would if it's physical in any way. He could end up having a streak now. Predictable "will they or won't they?" doubt from Charlie/Paloma on whether voting out Dan is the right move. Paloma will debate who she's better off against at the end of the game, but there's not a chance that Randy will work with her. Charlie and Dan will make some sort of smart strategic play to distance themselves from one another: Charlie will be serious that it's almost time to get rid of Dan, and Dan will be happy and positive throughout the episode. Regardless of what the outcome is, I'd say that's likely to be pretty accurate, but we'll see how it turns out. Thank you for filling out the Popularity Poll, and for your Edgic ratings! I don't know: I suck at Edgic and I've never done ratings before. Hope those are good for a beginner. Those are definitely very well done, especially for your first time. I even had a hard time coming up with preliminary ratings myself, so I think there could be some variety this time. Those are pretty close to what I had in mind though, which is good. :) Finally, thank you for your Contenders / Eliminated lists! Thanks again for your comments, Cory The Spoiler Slayer. I really appreciate you taking the time to share your thoughts! Hope you enjoy the remaining two episodes, and have a great day! :)

I'm glad you liked the episode, and I really enjoyed reading what you had to say, as always! Much appreciated! I think you were a bit hard on yourself in your notes lmao. I enjoyed the episode, and it was good to see Jacquie go. She was really the only one who I didn't really want to win, but now I'd be happy with any result. I'm praying that Randy sticks around for the finale, so I'll have to hope he wins immunity. I liked that you compared Jacquie to the "Eve of Gabon". The "give up your reward for everyone" option is always a tough decision to make, I'd imagine. I thought you wrote the ramifications of Jacquie's decisions well and gave a clear ending to her story. Thank you. This was very nice to read. I don't know if I was hard on myself, I just think there were some parts that could have been a bit better and I did have difficulty writing some scenes, but I'm glad you enjoyed the episode and the result. I felt that giving Jacquie that type of story was the best option for her since she'd otherwise be pretty boring (sorry Jacquie - I owe her about 1000 apologies for every time I've said that). I agree with you on it being a tough decision to give up the Reward, but I needed to do something different for the family reward! Randy fueling the fire of the "bitch session" by slamming Jacquie. Thanks. Glad you enjoyed that. I think he had some interesting strategy, and it was fun for me to write the transition between him attacking D/C/P to turning it onto Jacquie. 9! Well I appreciate that, thank you! :) Thanks for your predictions for Ep 13, and for filling out the Popularity Poll. Probably Randy for Exile too. Paloma was pushing for him to go this time, so I assume she'll do the same next episode. I guess it depends on who wins the Reward. Maybe Randy will surprise everyone and pull out another challenge win. Great to still see the 10s there for Ace, Randy, and Corinne. You definitely like your villains! :) Thanks again for all of your comments! I appreciate you taking the time to share your thoughts every week. Great to have you reading along. Have a great day! :)
