***********

(Malarcious Tribe, Night 25)

(It was nighttime as the remaining ones from Tribal Council came back. The others, still awake, saw them arrive)

Metabee: Hey, girls. Welcome back. (notices) Uh oh. Miss Chatterbox got voted out, huh?

Yoshi: Yep.

Sam: (C.S.) The others came back from Tribal Council and told me that Miss Chatterbox was voted out...with Launch having a hand in it! I don't know what to feel at that point.

(Mickey chuckles to Yoshi as he speaks)

Mickey: Thank goodness for that. Also, good thing that none of the others knew about the hidden immunity idol that I have shown you, Mrs. Briefs, Sam, Sarah and Yoshi, huh?

Sarah: Yep! Our acting turns out so good, even I didn't think that you got it!

Yoshi: Not sure if that's a good idea, I mean you even showing it.

(Mrs. Briefs took Homer and Metabee aside quickly)

Mrs. Briefs: Guys, listen, Mickey has the idol.

Metabee: (shocked) Say what?!

Mrs. Briefs: (C.S.) I figure since I'm in another alliance, I should tell Homer and Metabee about Mickey's idol.

Mrs. Briefs: He has shown me and the ones in our alliance about it. Still not sure about Sarah. Don't tell.

Homer: Uh-hum.

Homer: (C.S.) I told Kevin who then told Launch. Hee hee. Now everyone in the tribe knows!

Sometime later, Kevin and Metabee were in Launch's faces.

Kevin: Why did you vote Miss Chatterbox out?!

Launch: I saw her as the biggest threat. She would win over neary anyone else because everyone liked her.

Metabee: Launch, your decision just put us at a disadvantage! Now the Girl Tribe is going to pick us off until we're all gone!

Launch: Not unless they see that there are major threats on their tribe.

Meanwhile, the remaining Girl members were off to the side, having a little conversation of their own.

Sam: Well, THIS makes things a little interesting. We're actually AHEAD of Boys now.

Mrs. Briefs: (C.S.) Yeesh. I didn't think this would happen. Us ahead of Boys? That seems too good to be true. Now we may actually have a shot at getting one of us to the finals. I guess we can thank Launch for making this all possible, because if she didn't pull off that move at Tribal Council, Yoshi probably would have been eliminated.

Sarah: You still think we can get inside that split personality girl's head, Goth Girl?

Sam: I was, but now I think Launch is doing all the work for us. (chuckles) Maybe getting inside her head to work with us won't even be needed.

Everyone decided to turn in for the night, seeing as how it was getting late. Everyone went into the shelter and went to sleep a little more comfortably since there were only nine people left.

(Malarcious Tribe, Day 26)

Homer: (C.S.) Miss Chatterbox was voted out last night. This could spell trouble for us, but thankfully, Metabee and I have a trump card up our sleeves. We're in an alliance with Mrs. Briefs that no one else knows about and we may be able to get her to turn on her tribe when she sees that there are major threats on her team.

Metabee: Are you sure we'd be able to get her to just turn on the others, Homer? I mean, now that they're ahead, they'll probably use it to their advantage.

Homer: But with us, Mrs. Briefs would be able to reach the finals by joining us. We're the only real alliance partners Mrs. Briefs has left and she'll become more and more dependant on us as the days go by.

Metabee: I'm just not sure if it would work this early. As much as I hate to say it, I think it would be easier to sway her once another person on Boys gets voted out.

Homer: I'm not sure if we'd get the time to wait until then. We need to get her on our side now. Even if we just got her it would still be enough to pull one over on Girls.

Meanwhile, another alliance was talking, but for a completely different reason.

Yoshi: We're ahead of Boys now, Mickey. You think Sammy will work with us now that we're ahead?

Mickey: (shakes head) It's a hard call, Yoshi. She could either see this as a chance to pick off the rest of Boys or a chance to dump one of us because we're ahead.

Yoshi: (C.S.) Sometimes I wish we would have voted off Sammy instead of Spongebob. Mickey and I know that she's going to get rid of us, but we don't know when she'll be taking the opportunity. She's not one to waste an opportunity when it's given to her, and right now she has two. All I can do is hope she picks the one that doesn't involve kicking us off…

Yoshi: Well, what are we going to do in the meantime?

Mickey: Try to remain unsuspicious. If Sam finds out that we're onto her, then she'll dump one of us for sure.

Sarah: (suddenly appearing behind Mickey) Too late, pal. You fail epicly at trying to look unsuspicious. I can see right through your lies and deceit.

Mickey: Uh... what?

Sarah: I know you're working with the sand creatures. That stupid face of yours just screams 'I'm working for a bunch of sand creatures and am currently plotting the demise of everyone I know'.

Mickey: Uh…Sarah, you-

Sarah: Where are they?! (grabs Mickey by torso) Where are the sand creatures?!

Mickey: (points in random direction) Over there.

Sarah promptly released Mickey and raced off in the direction Mickey was pointing in, screaming a battle cry.

Sarah: (C.S.) It's amazing what one can find out when one hides in the bushes. Let's see…Launch is secretly planning to turn the game around, Sammy's planning on dumping Mickey and Yoshi and Metabee and Homer are trying to get into an alliance with Mrs. Briefs. (chuckles) Am I going to say anything? Heck, no! It's way too much fun to pretend to be crazy all of the time…And… (looks down) Oh! That's shiny! (dives to the ground, vanishing off the screen and knocking the camera over.)

Yoshi: You think she knows anything?

Mickey: If she DOES know something, she hides it extremely well.

Meanwhile, Sam was off to the side by herself, once again pondering the current situation.

Sam: (C.S.) I'm not sure how this will work. Now that we're ahead of Boys, I can actually afford a loss and get rid of either Mickey or Yoshi. However, if I get rid of them now, chances are that the same thing will happen to us as it did to Boys and we'll lose several members in a row.

Sam: What to do… Maybe I should just lay low for a bit and see who wins the next Immunity Challenge before I start targeting people.

Sarah: SAND CREATURES!!! (dives at Sam and tackled her off the rock she was sitting on. The crazy woman grabbed Sam and shook her wildly, slamming her head into the ground a few times.) Tell me where the sand creatures are, Goth!! Mickey told me they were over here!

Sam quickly kicked Sarah off of her and sat up. Although she struggled a lot, she managed to keep her composure.

Sam: Sarah, the sand creatures are not around here. Mickey was mistaken. No, the sand creatures are just in the water over there.

Sarah: Death to the sand creatures!! (races down to the beach and dove headfirst into the water.)

Sam: There's my good deed for the day.

Kevin, whom was searching around for the Hidden Immunity Idol (He already knew Mickey found it, in fact everyone did, but he went with pretending), watched Sarah run off and turned to Sam.

Kevin: Why did you keep her around so long?

Sam: Because she was one of the strongest we had. And by the way, it's going to take more than that to make me turn on a teammate.

Kevin shook his head and continued to search for the idol.

Kevin: (C.S.) With Miss Chatterbox going, I realize that no one is safe. She definitely wasn't the strongest person going to Tribal Council last night, so I realize that whoever finds that idol will be needing it desperately.

The day dragged on and Kevin was (pretending) searching for the idol the majority of the day. Kevin was searching just inside the jungle when she spotted Homer, Metabee and Mrs. Briefs talking off to the side, out of sight from anyone else. Lifting an eyebrow, Kevin crept closer to listen in.

Mrs. Briefs: You think we should turn on one of my tribe mates next?

Homer: I know it's a lot to ask of you, Mrs. Briefs. But remember that this is the only way for us to make the finals together.

Metabee: And let's face it. Mickey and Sarah are stronger players than anyone left on our side.

Homer: That's true. Launch is no problem and Kevin is only a semi-threat.

Kevin narrowed his eyes at the comment, but remained quiet as he continued to listen to the conversation.

Metabee: We need to face the facts, Mrs. Briefs. You're going to have to ditch the others on your team eventually if the three of us are going to the finals together.

Mrs. Briefs: (pauses, then nods) Okay. Who should we target first? Sarah's the bigger Immunity threat.

Homer: But Mickey's already got a guaranteed vote with Yoshi and vise versa. I think we should focus on splitting up their alliance first.

Mrs. Briefs: (C.S.) I guess I never clued in to the fact that I have to vote out the rest of my tribe in order to go to the finals. Don't think this means I'm going to blindside them all at once. Homer, Metabee and I need to whittle away at both tribes in order to get an advantage over everyone else. The good thing about this is that no one knows about this.

Kevin: (C.S.) So Homer and Metabee are in a secret alliance with Mrs. Briefs, are they? Hmm…They're also apparently planning to get the drop on everyone else. If I want to survive, I'm going to need a new alliance, especially since Homer and Metabee see me as a fairly big threat. The best thing about this is that I know exactly who I can go to for an alliance.

Meanwhile, Launch was having a talk with Sam, whom she had pictured as her biggest rival on the island.

Launch: So you agree that we'd be able to turn the game around if we were given the chance?

Sam: Of course. In fact, I think your way of playing is actually pretty smart.

Launch: You think so? I figured that it would be best to get rid of bigger jury threats first and then focus on splitting up alliances.

Sam: Yes. An excellent strategy to keep you from getting blindsided. And there ARE a few alliances around. I'm guessing that we should focus on the alliance of Mickey and Yoshi first?

Launch: Yes. Homer and Metabee aren't big threats at all. We'll focus on Mickey and Yoshi first.

Launch: (C.S.) I'm glad Sam decided to see things my way and form an alliance with me. This at least gets me out of the hole and into an alliance. This is great. When the time comes, I'll get rid of her, but in the meantime, I'll be able to benefit from an alliance with the girl who's just as smart as I am.

Sam: (C.S.) Launch has no idea just how badly I'm playing her.

Eventually, night rolled in. Everyone decided to go to bed and be ready for the next day, knowing that there was a challenge ahead.

(Malarcious Tribe, Day 27)

Kevin: (C.S.) Okay. I'm in a pretty tight spot right now. There's a few alliances around, and the secret alliance between Homer, Metabee and Mrs. Briefs is going to complicate things. The three of them forming together could prove to be serious trouble later on. I need an alliance before one of these alliances takes me out of the game.

Kevin: Hey, Mickey?

Mickey: Oh. What's up, Kevin?

Kevin: Actually, I'm here to discuss strategy. You and Yoshi haven't been on a concrete alliance since the competition started. I'm here to make you an offer.

Mickey: I'm listening.

Kevin: Look, we both know that we're potential threats to everyone else. I think we'd both benefit from an alliance.

Mickey: You mean that you'd like to join Yoshi and I in an alliance?

Kevin: (nods) That's what I'm proposing. I mean, we have to face the facts. You and I are going to need all the help we can get.

Mickey: What do you mean by that?

Kevin: Who are other people going to take to the finals? You and me or Homer and Metabee?

This seemed to get Mickey thinking. The mouse looked deep in thought for a while.

Mickey: (C.S.) Kevin was right. I'm a physical threat, so if I want a loyal alliance member outside of Yoshi, it'll have to be someone that's an equal threat. Maybe it's high time that I actually got an alliance going. At least it would give me a better shot at going further into the game.

Mickey: You know what? That actually doesn't sound like a bad idea. The two of us are indeed two of the strongest here since Chopper got eliminated. Maybe we COULD benefit from an alliance.

Kevin: (smiles) Really? You're okay with it?

Mickey: Yeah, we'll see how far it'll take us. I think Yoshi would totally be up for it as well. Just give me a chance to relay the message to her.

Meanwhile, Homer walked over to Launch, seeing that she was alone. The split personality girl saw the bald man coming over and raised an eyebrow.

Launch: Can I help you?

Homer: We're voting for Mickey if he doesn't win Immunity. Yoshi if he does.

Launch: Why do you sound so determined to get my vote?

Homer: Because we're actually BEHIND now thanks to you. We need your vote here. And I think even you can admit that Mickey and Yoshi's alliance is too tight to leave alone.

Launch: (pauses, then nods) It WOULD be incredibly stupid to let them both go into the finals. Okay. For now, unless I can come up with a better target, you've got my vote.

Homer: I don't want any jokes coming from you, Launch. You've proven that we need your vote, so if you don't vote with us, you'll be in serious trouble.

Launch: (C.S.) Normally, I wouldn't take too kindly to being threatened like that, but the more I think about it, the more I agree with Homer. We need to take both Mickey and Yoshi out to eliminate the guaranteed votes one would get from the other. Alliance-wise, those two are the biggest threats here.

Mrs. Briefs: We've got some treemail, guys!

Kevin: Is it a Reward or Immunity Challenge?

Mrs. Briefs: It says 'Prepare for a Reward Challenge that will have you hauling around extra weight'.

Sam: Another physical challenge. Things just aren't going my way for challenges.

(Reward Challenge)

The nine remaining contestants walked out onto the beach, where they saw their tribe mat. Walking over to it, everyone stepped on to await instructions.

JusSonic: Welcome to your next Reward Challenge, Malarcious. This challenge will involve a combination of strength, speed and wit in order to win.

People like Sam and Metabee looked more interested when the host said wit would be involved.

Julayla: When we start the challenge, you all have to run across the beach and pick up a sack of letters. However, to get there, you have to cross one of these beams sitting a few feet off the ground. Once you get the sack, you must then turn around and come back here, carrying the sack across the beam as you go. Keep in mind that if you fall off the beam going either way, you have to go back and attempt to come across again. Once you get back here, you must then open the sacks and unscramble the letters inside to reveal the words that they spell out. The first one to finish the word jumble correctly wins reward, which is a day-long trip to the hotel where your loved ones await.

Everyone looked at each other, wanting the reward and determined to finish first.

Neros: If you'll all split off into the nine available lanes, we'll start.

Everyone quickly chose a lane and lined up beside each other.

Orange-Ratchet: Okay, for Reward, survivors ready…Go!!

Everyone was off like a shot, racing down their respective lanes to get to the beams. Kevin, Mickey and Sarah took an early lead, sprinting ahead of the others as they got to the beams well before anyone else.

Sarah: (laughs) It's time to show these people why everyone back home calls me 'twinkle-toes'! (gets onto the beam and started making her way across.)

Mickey: Uh…Sarah, that's not a good thing!

Sarah: It isn't? (She promptly fell off the beam as if to prove Mickey's point.) Aw, nutbunnies!

As Sarah raced to the start of the beam again, the rest of the contestants reached the beams and started to make their way across.

Mickey staggered his way across the beam, but fell off of it halfway across. Near the start of the beams, Launch also took a tumble.

Mickey: Crap! I almost had it!

Yoshi staggered back and forth a couple of times, but managed to pick up the pace and slip past Metabee and Homer, whom fell off their beams and quickly went back to the start. In the end, the only ones to actually make it across in one go were Kevin, Yoshi, Sam and Mrs. Briefs.

Kevin made it to the other side first and quickly raced over to the bag that was sitting aside. Right after he did, Yoshi hit the ground as well. By the time the Digimon girl was at the sack, Kevin was already carting it back to the beam. By now, Sam and Mrs. Briefs had made it across.

Mickey tried making his way across again. He looked over at Sarah and saw that she was managed to make it across as well. Mickey made it across the beam further than the previous attempt, but still submitted to gravity and fell off. Sarah, on the other hand, managed to make it across.

Kevin quickly found the sack of letters to be heavier than he thought, and fell off his beam during the return trip almost instantly. Yoshi, carrying her heavy bag, stepped onto the beam and staggered back and forth a couple of times before falling off.

Sam and Mrs. Briefs both managed to get onto the beam and tried to carry their bags of letters across. However, they both fell off the beam, although Sam made it a little further than Mrs. Briefs did. This gave Homer and Metabee the time to make it across the the beam and grab their respective bags.

Kevin attempted to make it across again, but he still wasn't used to the weight of his bag and fell off again. Sarah attempted to go across, but fell off promptly, landing flat on her face.

As Mickey and Launch made it across long after everyone else did, Yoshi stared at the beam. She took a deep breath before charging forward. Jumping onto the beam, Yoshi raced across it with the sack slung over her shoulder. Not wasting any time getting across, Yoshi didn't have the time to lose her balance and made it across to the other side of the beam in record time.

JusSonic: Yoshi's across! The rest of you need to step things up!

Yoshi, seeing that she was in the lead, raced over to where she had started and dumped the letters from inside the bag. The Digimon girl's face fell when she saw how many of them there were.

Yoshi: How the heck do they expect us to make anything out of this mess?

Deciding to take her time going across the beam, Kevin tiptoed across, trying to keep his balance, as Mickey passed him. The mouse took another tumble off his beam and Launch started making her way across.

Launch: I don't understand how that Digimon girl could get across so quickly.

She wobbled back and forth a couple of times before falling off the beam.

Homer decided to try Yoshi's strategy and raced across the beam. However, he quickly slipped and fell off halfway, the beam slamming into his crotch. Homer let out a shout of pain before weakly tumpling off the beam and landing painfully on his back.

Metabee: Ouch. Uh…That looked like it hurt. You okay, Homer?

Homer: (higher pitched) Yeah. I'm good.

Sarah didn't even look like she was trying anymore. In fact, she looked like she was purposefully falling off the beam every time she got on it just to see how painful she could make her falls look. The pink haired woman hit the ground again, but she just sat up and laughed.

Sarah: Oh, that hurt so good! I wanna do that again!

Everyone tried to ignore Sarah, but she ended up distracting a few people enough to make them fall off the beam again. Sam cursed as she hit the ground just after Kevin dropped again.

Yoshi, in the meantime, frantically worked with the letters, trying to figure out a logical word that they all spelled out.

Yoshi: I can't even think of a word that has this many letters! …Wait. Maybe the solution is more than one word…But that doesn't help me!

Passing over the still-downed-and-very-much-in-pain'ed form of Homer, Sarah raced back onto the beam for another go. She made it about halfway before falling off again.

Metabee and Kevin, on the other hand, were taking their time in making their way across. After having taken previous falls off the beam, the two boys finally managed to make it across the beam.

Julayla: Metabee and Kevin are across! Yoshi's still struggling with the letters!

Yoshi started to panic as Metabee and Kevin raced over and dumped their letters over their respective starting areas. The Digimon girl looked at her letters, wondering what she could possibly spell from all of this. However, she saw a particular word spelled out amidst the mess and a light went on in her head. Looking at the letters, she saw that all of the needed letters were present and got to work.

Kevin: (scratches head) I wonder what they expect us to spell with all of this…

Metabee was having similar problems, and just started putting together words that fit in his head, hoping that he was right.

Metabee: Something tells me that I'm way off…

Neros: We have a winner! The game is over!

Just as Mrs. Briefs and Launch made it across the beam, everyone heard the hosts make the announcement. Everyone looked and saw that a very relieved Yoshi was standing over three words spelled out with her letters: BOYS, GIRLS and MALARCIOUS.

Orange-Ratchet: Yoshi wins Reward!

(Later…)

JusSonic: Congratulations on winning Reward, Yoshi. You will be able to go to the hotel for the day, spend time with your friends and family and take a break from the tribe. However, we'll let you take one person with you. Which one will you take?

Yoshi: Do you even need to ask? (smiles) Mickey.

Mickey smirked as he walked off the mat and over to join Yoshi. The hosts nodded as they looked at the others.

Orange-Ratchet: Yoshi and Mickey will be gone for the rest of the day and will rejoin the rest of you at the Immunity Challenge tomorrow. The rest of you can head back to camp.

As Yoshi and Mickey left the area a different way to go to the waiting helicopter, the other seven contestants left the area to go back to camp.

(Malarcious Tribe)

Sam: (C.S.) Yoshi won Reward and she took Mickey with her. This is good. Now I can actually start relaying a plan out in the open without having to worry about them. Those two are too tight to leave alone, and this far into the game it could get dangerous to let them be.

Homer: You're willing to get rid of Mickey or Yoshi?

Sam: Yes. Those two have been inseparable since the start. You have to agree with me that letting them both go deep enough into the game would be stupid.

Homer: Actually, I'm surprised that you're thinking the same thing we were thinking. So you agree that we'll vote for Mickey first?

Sam: Yes. He's definitely the bigger threat. If he wins Immunity, we'll vote for Yoshi.

Homer: Well, it's good to have you on our side this time. I just hope that Sarah will be just as willing.

Sam: I'm certain that even she's aware that she's a threat. If we decide to keep her around, she's sure to vote with us. How about I go over and tell her about this? You two can go and convince Kevin.

Homer: Sure. We can do that.

Kevin: (C.S.) Sam seems intent on separating the alliance of Mickey and Yoshi. I admit that they're a threat, but they don't know that I'm currently in an alliance with them. At least I hope so. Hopefully, Mickey will relay the message to Yoshi while they're at the hotel.

Elsewhere, Launch was thinking about the idol, now aware of where it is.

Launch: Hmmm... most likely Mickey would use the idol if he doesn't win Immunity... Some of us will have to vote Yoshi or Sam... This could be interesting.

(Hotel)

Yoshi: This place looks cool! (looks around as she went inside.)

Mickey: This will definitely be a nice chance sleeping in a room here instead of that shelter back at camp. Hey, thanks for bringing me along, Yoshi.

Yoshi: Who else would I take? You and I have been a team since the start!

Mickey: (C.S.) Yoshi bringing me along is good. Now not only will we get some time to strategize without having to worry about the others breathing down our backs, but I can tell Yoshi about Kevin. I'm sure that Yoshi will be happy to have a concrete alliance at long last.

After going on a quick tour, the two friends ended up at a second-floor balcony, waiting for their friends to show up. The two walked outside as Mickey was talking to Yoshi about what was going on.

Yoshi: So Kevin wants to join us?

Mickey: (nods) He figured that threats should join forces because we'd probably get picked off anyway. You have to admit that it's a good idea. I don't think anyone would want to take either of us to the finals.

Yoshi: Yeah. They'd want to take someone who's less of a threat. I think Kevin joining us is a great idea. So it's just the three of us?

Mickey: Yeah. If we can survive a few more Tribal Councils, we'd be able to take everyone by surprise.

Yoshi: (C.S.) This is great. Mickey and I have slipped by without having to join a concrete alliance, and now that the chance has come up, we're taking it. Kevin could be a major help to us with an extra vote, and we'll definitely keep him around if it means that we'll go deeper into the game.

???: Hey, guys!

(Yoshi and Mickey looked and smiled as their friends came over.)

Donald: Hey, Mickey! How's the game?

Mickey: Really great Donald!

Goofy: Gawrsh, this is exciting to see ya!

Pluto: (barks as he licks Mickey's cheek)

Marcus: Hey, Yoshi, congratulations on making it far into the game.

Yoshi: Thanks.

Lalamon: You're doing a great job out there!

Thomas: Yeah, great job!

Mickey and Yoshi smiled as their friends showed the two Survivors around.

(Marlacious Tribe)

Kevin: Are you sure voting off Mickey or Yoshi would be a good idea? If you ask me, Sam and Sarah are the bigger threats.

Metabee: Kevin, Sarah may be a threat, but she's not really on an alliance. And Sam is the smartest person here. We need to separate Mickey and Yoshi because they're an even bigger threat together.

Kevin: Whereas if we don't eliminate Sam or Sarah, it could seriously come back to bite us.

Metabee: (C.S.) I don't know why Kevin is so apprehensive about this plan. I mean, I know he confided in Mickey a number of days ago, but he doesn't seem intent on voting with us. We admit that Sam and Sarah will be getting eliminated soon enough, but right now, the main focus should be on spitting the strongest alliance.

Homer: Kevin, we think that this is the best strategy right now. Sam's good with it and she'll be getting Launch to vote as well.

Kevin: (bites lip) What about Sarah and Mrs. Briefs? Where do they stand on this?

Homer: Mrs. Briefs' willing to split the alliance and Sarah's just glad that we won't be targeting her. That pretty much got her vote right there.

Kevin: Well…Okay. I'll think about it.

With that, Homer and Metabee left the N Team member alone, still unsure as to how loyal he would be to them.

Metabee: What do you think, Homer? I'm not sure if we'll have his vote.

Homer: I don't get it. There has to be a reason for him being so apprehensive. I mean, when we were starting off, he'd side with us no problem.

Meanwhile, a very confused Sarah was sniffing around the camp like a bloodhound, crawling on all fours.

Sarah: I don't get it. My nose has never failed me. A few days ago, I could smell the Immunity Idol coming from somewhere by the beach, but now it's coming from somewhere else. It's almost like the idol sprouted legs and found another hiding place. There's only one logical explanation…The sand creatures have hidden the idol and now no one is safe! I swear on the grave of my left bunny slipper that I'll find those monsters!

Sarah suddenly heard someone coming. She let out a quiet gasp.

Sarah: The sand creatures! (dives into bush)

After she had gone, Launch and Sam walked into view, unknowing that Sarah was in the bush.

Launch: Anyone watching us?

Sam: No. It's good that Mickey and Yoshi are at that resort, though. They'd probably be watching me like a hawk.

Launch: Okay. So everyone seems intent on voting Mickey and Yoshi out to play the idol. Then... you said you did wanted to be voted out?

Sam: That's right. I guess I kinda feel bad for Danny. I want to see how he's doing.

Launch: Hmm... interesting. So, it's a win win situation. Mickey plays idol, he's vulnerable for next time, and you can go and see Danny. I guess that means that things will go smoothly at Tribal Council no matter who wins Immunity. So what would happen after getting rid of Mickey and Yoshi?

Sam: Sarah's a big Immunity threat, but Homer and Metabee are just as big because of their alliance. I think it would be wise to take one of those guys to the finals, but we need to split those two up.

Launch: Then take out Sarah?

Sam: Right. In the end, it would probably be best to take Mrs. Briefs to the finals. I think it would be safe to say that she hasn't done enough to get any votes from the jury.

Launch: (C.S.) I'm glad Sam's helping me with the plan. Now the two of us have a flawless plan to reach the end. If we take someone to the end who hasn't done anything big throughout the game, then no one will vote for them. And the best part is that no one will suspect us being in an alliance.

Sarah: (C.S., sing/taunt) I know something they don't think I know! I know something they don't think I know!

Night eventually rolled in. Everyone still at camp went to bed early, anticipating the challenge the next day.

(Malarcious Tribe, Day 28)

Mrs. Briefs: (C.S.) Well, we're going to have another challenge today. Obviously Immunity. The plan seems to be that we'll be getting rid of either Mickey or Yoshi, but in a game like this there are no guarantees. Anything can happen, because I found that out myself when Spongebob was stupidly eliminated pre-merge.

As she and Metabee were walking to check on the mail, Mrs. Briefs decided to speak up.

Mrs. Briefs: Hey, Metabee?

Metabee: Yes, Mrs. Briefs?

Mrs. Briefs: You sure this will work? I mean, voting off either Mickey or Yoshi so that they can play the idol and Sam goes.

Metabee: Why wouldn't it work? Everyone seems okay with it. Besides, you, me and Homer are on an alliance of people that aren't physical threats. If the idol is played, it would most likely be against Sam.

Mrs. Briefs: I guess that makes sense.

Metabee: (C.S.) Mrs. Briefs made a good point. We don't have the game won yet and we're still not in the clear. Our biggest asset right now is the fact that pretty much everyone left is stronger than the three of us, but we're not going to let it get to our heads.

Mrs. Briefs: (looks in box) Looks like we have Treemail.

Metabee: And this means that we'll be reunited with Mickey and Yoshi. Let's take it to the others.

The two quickly took the treemail back to the others, whom waited as Mrs. Briefs read the letter.

Mrs. Briefs: 'Follow the directions to the Immunity Challenge. Time to brush up on a classic sport'.

Launch: Another sport challenge. I wonder when production will make a task that I can actually benefit from.

Sarah: Sorry, but over-exaggerated acting and split personalities wouldn't make for good TV.

(Immunity Challenge)

The seven castaways walked into a clearing in the jungle and over to the black mat sitting on the ground. Once everyone was on, the hosts started talking.

JusSonic: Before we start the challenge, let's bring in Yoshi and Mickey, whom just came back from visiting their families.

Everyone watched as Mickey and Yoshi emerged from the jungle and walked over to the mat to wait with everyone else.

Julayla: Welcome to your next Immunity Challenge, Malarcious. The premise of this challenge is simple. We just want to see you guys throw some spears.

Everyone saw that there was a line of nine spear hoops set up not too far away. It looked like there was a counter built into each one.

Neros: I'm going to give you two minutes, and you guys need to shoot more baskets than anyone else within that time limit. There's an electronic counter on each board that will register the score when the ball goes through the net, so that will eliminate miscalculation and cheating. The one that scores the most baskets within the two-minute time period will win Immunity and will be safe at tonight's Tribal Council.

Everyone looked at each other and realized that the challenge, despite being sport-oriented, didn't really benefit anyone there. Under the host's guidance, the nine castaways chose a basket and lined up to prepare to start. Everyone had been given a spear, which would fall into a net and roll back to the thrower no matter where on the board it hit.

JusSonic: Okay, for Immunity, survivors ready…Go!

Everyone quickly threw their first spear at their targets. In a somewhat comedic way, no one managed to score a point and all of the spears bounced off the boards at almost the same time.

Sarah: Oh! De-nied!

Kevin was quick to make up for her first shot and scooped up his spear, throwing it straight into the basket.

Kevin: Okay. Just keep this up for a couple of minutes. Shouldn't be too hard.

Everyone was trying to focus on shooting baskets, so no one paid any attention to each other. Kevin, Mickey and Homer were doing the best so far, having scored more baskets than the others. Launch, Sarah and Sam were catching up while Metabee, Mrs. Briefs and Yoshi were a bit behind.

JusSonic watched everyone shoot baskets for a little bit before deciding to start asking questions.

JusSonic: Homer, are you any good at basketball?

Homer: I seem to recall asking you not to break my concentration during a challenge. (Tosses spear, spear misses) Crap!

JusSonic: Uh…Sarah, why are you throwing your ball over your shoulder?

Sarah: I did this all the time in high school. For some reason, I was a better shot when I couldn't see the net.

As if to prove this, Sarah tossed the spear over her shoulder without looking, making it go straight through the hoop cleanly. Everyone else chose to ignore this and continued to shoot basketballs.

JusSonic: Launch, how do you think you'll fare with this challenge?

Launch: (spear bounces off hoop) Homer's right. Are you TRYING to throw us off our game here?

JusSonic: Well, sor-ry! The challenges are the only time aside from Tribal Council we get any lines during the episodes.

The clock continued to tick and more baskets were shot. Kevin now had the lead, but Mickey and Homer were pretty close. Sarahndy had managed to build herself a lead over Sam and Launch while Yoshi had managed to separate herself a little from Metabee and Mrs. Briefs.

JusSonic: Mrs. Briefs, you're not doing too well here. Why is that?

Mrs. Briefs: We haven't played a lot of basketball in my world. Baseball, golf, soccer, and tennis, sure. But very rarely does anyone play basketball.

JusSonic: Kevin, you seem to be in a good position on the other hand. Where's this skill coming from?

Kevin: I'm just staying focused.

JusSonic: Hmm…Hey, Sammy-

Sam: (throws spear) SAM! (Her shout threw her off guard and her spear bounced off the hoop.) Gah! Now look at what you made me do!

JusSonic: Yoshi, what's you strategy going into this challenge?

Yoshi: For the most part, just hope I don't screw up. But unless someone at the front of the pack starts missing shots, there's no way I'll be able to catch up now.

The challenge continued and the scores continued to spread out, although the contestants were still in almost the same positions. The only differences were that Sarah was catching up on the leaders and Yoshi was approaching the middle of the pack for scores.

JusSonic: Sam, the challenge is almost over. You think you can catch up?

Sam: Not unless I can nail every basket from now on and they miss every basket. I'm not paying attention to the scores, but I think it's safe to assume that there are people a good ways ahead of me.

JusSonic: Metabee, You're not having a very good challenge. What seems to be the problem?

Metabee: I'm not an athlete. I'm a thinker. I've never really been good at sports.

JusSonic: Mickey, how do you think you're doing?

Mickey: I dunno. I'm not looking at the scores. I'm just looking at my own and trying to make sure that I get as many baskets as I can.

Everyone realized that they were in the final stretch of the challenge and started to pick up the pace. Unfortunately, this did little to help a few of the contestants, because the shortened time used to take aim usually cost them the point. Eventually, the time was up and a buzzer went to signal the end of the challenge. Yoshi managed to shoot at the basket one more time just as the buzzer went and she managed to get one final point.

JusSonic: Okay everyone, the challenge is over. Let's view the scores.

Julayla: Mrs, Briefs, that wasn't your best challenge. You only managed to get 20 baskets in the two minutes provided. (Mrs. Briefs sighed.)

Neros: Metabee, I'm afraid you didn't do much better. You only got 26 baskets. (Metabee nodded.)

Orange-Ratchet: Yoshi, that last shot didn't help you, but it got you closer to the middle of the pack. 32 baskets is what you got. (Yoshi shrugged.)

JusSonic: Launch, you fell behind a bit at the end. You scored 36 baskets. (Launch shook her head.)

Julayla: Sam, you managed to beat Launch, but the others got a lot more than you did. You finished with 40 baskets. (Sam looked indifferent.)

Neros: That leaves Kevin, Mickey, Homer and Sarah. I have to admit that Sarah managed to catch up to you guys, but was it enough to win?

The four looked at each other, wondering who had won.

Orange-Ratchet: Our second-place contestant, Kevin, scored five baskets less than the winner…The winner, with 55 baskets…Is Mickey! Mickey wins Immunity!

Mickey jumped in surprise and cheered. Yoshi cheered with him, but a few of the others looked a little upset.

(Later…)

JusSonic: Congratulations, Mickey. (puts on Immunity Hat) You are safe tonight.

Mickey: Swell!

Julayla: Mickey is safe tonight, but I'll be seeing you all at Tribal Council, where you'll be voting someone off.

Orange-Ratchet: You'll have the afternoon to decide, so you can all head back to camp.

(Malarcious Tribe)

Sam: (C.S.) Mickey won Immunity, but it hardly matters, even though he's a bigger threat. The others are good with voting Yoshi off tonight, who will play the idol, who will get rid of me. This will probably be best for me.. and for everyone else, because once that idol is played, it won't be of use anymore.

Homer: So we're voting for Yoshi, then? I want to make sure that we've got your vote.

Sam: This has been my plan since we hit the merge. I'm not backing out now. Why would you think that I would double-cross you in favor of Mickey and Yoshi.

Homer: You can never be too sure. You DID vote off SpongeBob pre-merge.

Sam: Surprisingly, that wasn't my idea. So I can assure you that the plan to vote Yoshi will be in order tonight. Sarah's good with it as well.

Homer: (C.S.) Do I trust Sam? Not exactly. But she DOES seem intent on splitting up the swing votes, which gives me a reason to temporarily trust her. But she'll probably be gone when Yoshi plays the idol.

Mickey: (C.S.) I'm actually surprised I managed to win an accuracy challenge. But the hoop was close enough for me to make out clearly, so it wasn't like I had any real problems with it. But still, I managed to win, and now that I did, I'm definitely going to put a plan into action.

Mickey: This is great! We'll be safe for another night!

Yoshi: (sighs) No, Mickey. YOU'RE safe. Now that you've got Immunity, they'll vote me off. Not even with Kevin's added vote would we have enough votes to stay alive.

Mickey: (smiles) Don't worry, Yoshi. We're not going anywhere. Just play the idol tonight and vote Sam out. I bet that's what Sam plans.

Yoshi: (C.S.) I feel that this will probably be a good idea... with the idol played, Sam will probably be voted out... this is a good idea! Besides, I bet she misses Danny anyway... Danny even said so himself when we visited him in the hotel.

(Tribal Council)

Nine people entered Tribal Council, carrying lit torches. Finding their spots, everyone sat down and waited for the hosts to start talking.

JusSonic: Before we start, let's bring out the members of the jury. Constance, Chopper and Miss Chatterbox, voted out at the last Tribal Council.

Everyone watched as Constance and Chopper entered Tribal Council, a familiar Miss Men following them. Miss Chatterbox was now wearing a tie-dye tee shirt, a pair of shorts, and was wearing a sleek visor over her eyes. The three walked over to the jury bench and sat down.

Julayla: They won't address you and you are not to address them. They're here just to watch.

JusSonic: Time to begin. Mickey, how does it feel to be safe for a few days or so?

Mickey: Sounds nice. I know a few people who would want me gone but for now, though, I'm staying.

Julayla: Sam, let's talk about alliances. Who is in charge now?

Sam: I think the girls one. We got a few alliance members than usual, though some may say that we broke off from one another. Who knows?

Neros: Homer, any alliances that we should know of?

Homer: Sorry, the number you have dialed is out of service. Please call again later. Beeep!

(Yoshi frowns at Homer in suspicion)

Orange Ratchet: Sarah, as the only insane person in this group, how did you play your game so far?

Sarah: By pretending that I am not here. By doing so, I am really here but I am not here!

Metabee: Now that doesn't make sense!

Sarah: Good, it's working already.

JusSonic: Let's talk about the reward challenge? Does anyone regret not getting their reward?

Sam: I think I'm fine, but I wish I can get back to the hotel soon and be with Danny.

Orange Ratchet: One last question. If anyone has any strategies, how will they work tonight?

Mrs. Briefs: We just have to play the right one and see where we go to from there.

JusSonic: It is now time to vote. Mrs. Briefs, you're up first.

(Mrs. Briefs got up and head to the voting area, putting down a name before leaving. We see Kevin, Launch and Metabee voting. We see Mickey holding up "SAM")

Mickey: Hope you can forgive me.

(Mickey leaves. We see Sam coming in, holding out "YOSHI")

Sam: I know about the idol, guys, and I know Yoshi will play it soon. I just want to vote just in case.

(Sam leaves. We see Sarah and Yoshi voting. Once the Digimon girl has voted, she return to Tribal Council, sitting her ass down)

JusSonic: All right, damn it, I will get the votes.

(JusSonic leaves to get the box, returning with it)

JusSonic: Once the votes are read, the decision is final. The person with the most votes must leave the Tribal Council area at once.

Orange Ratchet: If anyone has found the hidden immunity idol, play it now.

(Suddenly Yoshi got up and head to the hosts with the idol, much to the surprise of the tribe members)

Metabee: The hell?!

Yoshi: I got the idol here. (to Mickey) Thanks Mickey.

Mickey: No problem.

(Neros takes the necklace from Yoshi, looking at it carefully)

Neros: Yep. This is the real deal so that means Yoshi is immune for tonight.

Homer: (frowns) Awwww....

(Yoshi sat back down)

JusSonic: All right, Mickey and Yoshi are immune tonight. Let's read the votes and see who else will go.

(JusSonic opens the box and got the first vote out)

JusSonic: First vote...(shows vote) Yoshi.

(Yoshi watch as Julayla got the second vote out)

Julayla: Second vote...Sam.

(Sam watch as Neros got the third vote out)

Neros: Sam. 2 votes Sam, 1 vote Yoshi.

(Orange Ratchet got the fourth vote out)

Orange Ratchet: Yoshi. 2 votes Sam, 2 votes Yoshi.

(JusSonic got the fifth vote out, reading it)

JusSonic: Sam. 3 votes Sam,. 2 votes Yoshi.

(Julayla got the sixth vote out)

Julayla: Yoshi. 3 votes Sam, 3 votes Yoshi.

(Neros got the seventh vote out)

Neros: Yoshi. 4 votes Yoshi, 3 votes Sam.

(Orange Ratchet got the eighth vote out)

Orange Ratchet: Yoshi. 5 votes Yoshi, 3 votes Sam. One more vote to go.

(JusSonic got the ninth vote out, reading it carefully)

JusSonic: Final vote...(shows vote) Yoshi. However since Yoshi has played the vote, the second biggest number will go. And that's Sam, so Sam?

(Sam nods as she got up, saying her final goodbyes and crap)

Sam: Well, I'm not surprised. I kinda saw this coming.

Launch: Well...

(Sam brings her torch to the hosts who got the usual snuffer)

JusSonic: Sam, the tribe has spoken.

(JusSonic use the snuffer on Sam's torch, putting it out for good)

JusSonic: It's time for you to go.

Sam: Have fun, guys.

(Sam heads down the path to exile as everyone else watch her go, leaving the game for good)

Julayla: Interesting strategy with the idol, but that's used once. Best to be on your best behavior, everyone, or your game is over.

Neros: Head back to camp. Good night.

(The remaining eight tribe players got up and heads back to camp. We see Sam for the last time as we fade to black, endiung the episode)

END EPISODE 10

Confession-
Sam: I am not mad for getting voted out, all part of the plan, really. I played the game well and is grateful to be done with it already. When I come back, I expected some true winners and such. I hope to see you guys later.

***********

(Malarcious Tribe, Night 25)

(It was nighttime as the remaining ones from Tribal Council came back. The others, still awake, saw them arrive)

Metabee: Hey, girls. Welcome back. (notices) Uh oh. Miss Chatterbox got voted out, huh?

Yoshi: Yep.

Sam: (C.S.) The others came back from Tribal Council and told me that Miss Chatterbox was voted out...with Launch having a hand in it! I don't know what to feel at that point.

(Mickey chuckles to Yoshi as he speaks)

Mickey: Thank goodness for that. Also, good thing that none of the others knew about the hidden immunity idol that I have shown you, Mrs. Briefs, Sam, Sarah and Yoshi, huh?

Sarah: Yep! Our acting turns out so good, even I didn't think that you got it!

Yoshi: Not sure if that's a good idea, I mean you even showing it.

(Mrs. Briefs took Homer and Metabee aside quickly)

Mrs. Briefs: Guys, listen, Mickey has the idol.

Metabee: (shocked) Say what?!

Mrs. Briefs: (C.S.) I figure since I'm in another alliance, I should tell Homer and Metabee about Mickey's idol.

Mrs. Briefs: He has shown me and the ones in our alliance about it. Still not sure about Sarah. Don't tell.

Homer: Uh-hum.

Homer: (C.S.) I told Kevin who then told Launch. Hee hee. Now everyone in the tribe knows!

Sometime later, Kevin and Metabee were in Launch's faces.

Kevin: Why did you vote Miss Chatterbox out?!

Launch: I saw her as the biggest threat. She would win over neary anyone else because everyone liked her.

Metabee: Launch, your decision just put us at a disadvantage! Now the Girl Tribe is going to pick us off until we're all gone!

Launch: Not unless they see that there are major threats on their tribe.

Meanwhile, the remaining Girl members were off to the side, having a little conversation of their own.

Sam: Well, THIS makes things a little interesting. We're actually AHEAD of Boys now.

Mrs. Briefs: (C.S.) Yeesh. I didn't think this would happen. Us ahead of Boys? That seems too good to be true. Now we may actually have a shot at getting one of us to the finals. I guess we can thank Launch for making this all possible, because if she didn't pull off that move at Tribal Council, Yoshi probably would have been eliminated.

Sarah: You still think we can get inside that split personality girl's head, Goth Girl?

Sam: I was, but now I think Launch is doing all the work for us. (chuckles) Maybe getting inside her head to work with us won't even be needed.

Everyone decided to turn in for the night, seeing as how it was getting late. Everyone went into the shelter and went to sleep a little more comfortably since there were only nine people left.

(Malarcious Tribe, Day 26)

Homer: (C.S.) Miss Chatterbox was voted out last night. This could spell trouble for us, but thankfully, Metabee and I have a trump card up our sleeves. We're in an alliance with Mrs. Briefs that no one else knows about and we may be able to get her to turn on her tribe when she sees that there are major threats on her team.

Metabee: Are you sure we'd be able to get her to just turn on the others, Homer? I mean, now that they're ahead, they'll probably use it to their advantage.

Homer: But with us, Mrs. Briefs would be able to reach the finals by joining us. We're the only real alliance partners Mrs. Briefs has left and she'll become more and more dependant on us as the days go by.

Metabee: I'm just not sure if it would work this early. As much as I hate to say it, I think it would be easier to sway her once another person on Boys gets voted out.

Homer: I'm not sure if we'd get the time to wait until then. We need to get her on our side now. Even if we just got her it would still be enough to pull one over on Girls.

Meanwhile, another alliance was talking, but for a completely different reason.

Yoshi: We're ahead of Boys now, Mickey. You think Sammy will work with us now that we're ahead?

Mickey: (shakes head) It's a hard call, Yoshi. She could either see this as a chance to pick off the rest of Boys or a chance to dump one of us because we're ahead.

Yoshi: (C.S.) Sometimes I wish we would have voted off Sammy instead of Spongebob. Mickey and I know that she's going to get rid of us, but we don't know when she'll be taking the opportunity. She's not one to waste an opportunity when it's given to her, and right now she has two. All I can do is hope she picks the one that doesn't involve kicking us off…

Yoshi: Well, what are we going to do in the meantime?

Mickey: Try to remain unsuspicious. If Sam finds out that we're onto her, then she'll dump one of us for sure.

Sarah: (suddenly appearing behind Mickey) Too late, pal. You fail epicly at trying to look unsuspicious. I can see right through your lies and deceit.

Mickey: Uh... what?

Sarah: I know you're working with the sand creatures. That stupid face of yours just screams 'I'm working for a bunch of sand creatures and am currently plotting the demise of everyone I know'.

Mickey: Uh…Sarah, you-

Sarah: Where are they?! (grabs Mickey by torso) Where are the sand creatures?!

Mickey: (points in random direction) Over there.

Sarah promptly released Mickey and raced off in the direction Mickey was pointing in, screaming a battle cry.

Sarah: (C.S.) It's amazing what one can find out when one hides in the bushes. Let's see…Launch is secretly planning to turn the game around, Sammy's planning on dumping Mickey and Yoshi and Metabee and Homer are trying to get into an alliance with Mrs. Briefs. (chuckles) Am I going to say anything? Heck, no! It's way too much fun to pretend to be crazy all of the time…And… (looks down) Oh! That's shiny! (dives to the ground, vanishing off the screen and knocking the camera over.)

Yoshi: You think she knows anything?

Mickey: If she DOES know something, she hides it extremely well.

Meanwhile, Sam was off to the side by herself, once again pondering the current situation.

Sam: (C.S.) I'm not sure how this will work. Now that we're ahead of Boys, I can actually afford a loss and get rid of either Mickey or Yoshi. However, if I get rid of them now, chances are that the same thing will happen to us as it did to Boys and we'll lose several members in a row.

Sam: What to do… Maybe I should just lay low for a bit and see who wins the next Immunity Challenge before I start targeting people.

Sarah: SAND CREATURES!!! (dives at Sam and tackled her off the rock she was sitting on. The crazy woman grabbed Sam and shook her wildly, slamming her head into the ground a few times.) Tell me where the sand creatures are, Goth!! Mickey told me they were over here!

Sam quickly kicked Sarah off of her and sat up. Although she struggled a lot, she managed to keep her composure.

Sam: Sarah, the sand creatures are not around here. Mickey was mistaken. No, the sand creatures are just in the water over there.

Sarah: Death to the sand creatures!! (races down to the beach and dove headfirst into the water.)

Sam: There's my good deed for the day.

Kevin, whom was searching around for the Hidden Immunity Idol (He already knew Mickey found it, in fact everyone did, but he went with pretending), watched Sarah run off and turned to Sam.

Kevin: Why did you keep her around so long?

Sam: Because she was one of the strongest we had. And by the way, it's going to take more than that to make me turn on a teammate.

Kevin shook his head and continued to search for the idol.

Kevin: (C.S.) With Miss Chatterbox going, I realize that no one is safe. She definitely wasn't the strongest person going to Tribal Council last night, so I realize that whoever finds that idol will be needing it desperately.

The day dragged on and Kevin was (pretending) searching for the idol the majority of the day. Kevin was searching just inside the jungle when she spotted Homer, Metabee and Mrs. Briefs talking off to the side, out of sight from anyone else. Lifting an eyebrow, Kevin crept closer to listen in.

Mrs. Briefs: You think we should turn on one of my tribe mates next?

Homer: I know it's a lot to ask of you, Mrs. Briefs. But remember that this is the only way for us to make the finals together.

Metabee: And let's face it. Mickey and Sarah are stronger players than anyone left on our side.

Homer: That's true. Launch is no problem and Kevin is only a semi-threat.

Kevin narrowed his eyes at the comment, but remained quiet as he continued to listen to the conversation.

Metabee: We need to face the facts, Mrs. Briefs. You're going to have to ditch the others on your team eventually if the three of us are going to the finals together.

Mrs. Briefs: (pauses, then nods) Okay. Who should we target first? Sarah's the bigger Immunity threat.

Homer: But Mickey's already got a guaranteed vote with Yoshi and vise versa. I think we should focus on splitting up their alliance first.

Mrs. Briefs: (C.S.) I guess I never clued in to the fact that I have to vote out the rest of my tribe in order to go to the finals. Don't think this means I'm going to blindside them all at once. Homer, Metabee and I need to whittle away at both tribes in order to get an advantage over everyone else. The good thing about this is that no one knows about this.

Kevin: (C.S.) So Homer and Metabee are in a secret alliance with Mrs. Briefs, are they? Hmm…They're also apparently planning to get the drop on everyone else. If I want to survive, I'm going to need a new alliance, especially since Homer and Metabee see me as a fairly big threat. The best thing about this is that I know exactly who I can go to for an alliance.

Meanwhile, Launch was having a talk with Sam, whom she had pictured as her biggest rival on the island.

Launch: So you agree that we'd be able to turn the game around if we were given the chance?

Sam: Of course. In fact, I think your way of playing is actually pretty smart.

Launch: You think so? I figured that it would be best to get rid of bigger jury threats first and then focus on splitting up alliances.

Sam: Yes. An excellent strategy to keep you from getting blindsided. And there ARE a few alliances around. I'm guessing that we should focus on the alliance of Mickey and Yoshi first?

Launch: Yes. Homer and Metabee aren't big threats at all. We'll focus on Mickey and Yoshi first.

Launch: (C.S.) I'm glad Sam decided to see things my way and form an alliance with me. This at least gets me out of the hole and into an alliance. This is great. When the time comes, I'll get rid of her, but in the meantime, I'll be able to benefit from an alliance with the girl who's just as smart as I am.

Sam: (C.S.) Launch has no idea just how badly I'm playing her.

Eventually, night rolled in. Everyone decided to go to bed and be ready for the next day, knowing that there was a challenge ahead.

(Malarcious Tribe, Day 27)

Kevin: (C.S.) Okay. I'm in a pretty tight spot right now. There's a few alliances around, and the secret alliance between Homer, Metabee and Mrs. Briefs is going to complicate things. The three of them forming together could prove to be serious trouble later on. I need an alliance before one of these alliances takes me out of the game.

Kevin: Hey, Mickey?

Mickey: Oh. What's up, Kevin?

Kevin: Actually, I'm here to discuss strategy. You and Yoshi haven't been on a concrete alliance since the competition started. I'm here to make you an offer.

Mickey: I'm listening.

Kevin: Look, we both know that we're potential threats to everyone else. I think we'd both benefit from an alliance.

Mickey: You mean that you'd like to join Yoshi and I in an alliance?

Kevin: (nods) That's what I'm proposing. I mean, we have to face the facts. You and I are going to need all the help we can get.

Mickey: What do you mean by that?

Kevin: Who are other people going to take to the finals? You and me or Homer and Metabee?

This seemed to get Mickey thinking. The mouse looked deep in thought for a while.

Mickey: (C.S.) Kevin was right. I'm a physical threat, so if I want a loyal alliance member outside of Yoshi, it'll have to be someone that's an equal threat. Maybe it's high time that I actually got an alliance going. At least it would give me a better shot at going further into the game.

Mickey: You know what? That actually doesn't sound like a bad idea. The two of us are indeed two of the strongest here since Chopper got eliminated. Maybe we COULD benefit from an alliance.

Kevin: (smiles) Really? You're okay with it?

Mickey: Yeah, we'll see how far it'll take us. I think Yoshi would totally be up for it as well. Just give me a chance to relay the message to her.

Meanwhile, Homer walked over to Launch, seeing that she was alone. The split personality girl saw the bald man coming over and raised an eyebrow.

Launch: Can I help you?

Homer: We're voting for Mickey if he doesn't win Immunity. Yoshi if he does.

Launch: Why do you sound so determined to get my vote?

Homer: Because we're actually BEHIND now thanks to you. We need your vote here. And I think even you can admit that Mickey and Yoshi's alliance is too tight to leave alone.

Launch: (pauses, then nods) It WOULD be incredibly stupid to let them both go into the finals. Okay. For now, unless I can come up with a better target, you've got my vote.

Homer: I don't want any jokes coming from you, Launch. You've proven that we need your vote, so if you don't vote with us, you'll be in serious trouble.

Launch: (C.S.) Normally, I wouldn't take too kindly to being threatened like that, but the more I think about it, the more I agree with Homer. We need to take both Mickey and Yoshi out to eliminate the guaranteed votes one would get from the other. Alliance-wise, those two are the biggest threats here.

Mrs. Briefs: We've got some treemail, guys!

Kevin: Is it a Reward or Immunity Challenge?

Mrs. Briefs: It says 'Prepare for a Reward Challenge that will have you hauling around extra weight'.

Sam: Another physical challenge. Things just aren't going my way for challenges.

(Reward Challenge)

The nine remaining contestants walked out onto the beach, where they saw their tribe mat. Walking over to it, everyone stepped on to await instructions.

JusSonic: Welcome to your next Reward Challenge, Malarcious. This challenge will involve a combination of strength, speed and wit in order to win.

People like Sam and Metabee looked more interested when the host said wit would be involved.

Julayla: When we start the challenge, you all have to run across the beach and pick up a sack of letters. However, to get there, you have to cross one of these beams sitting a few feet off the ground. Once you get the sack, you must then turn around and come back here, carrying the sack across the beam as you go. Keep in mind that if you fall off the beam going either way, you have to go back and attempt to come across again. Once you get back here, you must then open the sacks and unscramble the letters inside to reveal the words that they spell out. The first one to finish the word jumble correctly wins reward, which is a day-long trip to the hotel where your loved ones await.

Everyone looked at each other, wanting the reward and determined to finish first.

Neros: If you'll all split off into the nine available lanes, we'll start.

Everyone quickly chose a lane and lined up beside each other.

Orange-Ratchet: Okay, for Reward, survivors ready…Go!!

Everyone was off like a shot, racing down their respective lanes to get to the beams. Kevin, Mickey and Sarah took an early lead, sprinting ahead of the others as they got to the beams well before anyone else.

Sarah: (laughs) It's time to show these people why everyone back home calls me 'twinkle-toes'! (gets onto the beam and started making her way across.)

Mickey: Uh…Sarah, that's not a good thing!

Sarah: It isn't? (She promptly fell off the beam as if to prove Mickey's point.) Aw, nutbunnies!

As Sarah raced to the start of the beam again, the rest of the contestants reached the beams and started to make their way across.

Mickey staggered his way across the beam, but fell off of it halfway across. Near the start of the beams, Launch also took a tumble.

Mickey: Crap! I almost had it!

Yoshi staggered back and forth a couple of times, but managed to pick up the pace and slip past Metabee and Homer, whom fell off their beams and quickly went back to the start. In the end, the only ones to actually make it across in one go were Kevin, Yoshi, Sam and Mrs. Briefs.

Kevin made it to the other side first and quickly raced over to the bag that was sitting aside. Right after he did, Yoshi hit the ground as well. By the time the Digimon girl was at the sack, Kevin was already carting it back to the beam. By now, Sam and Mrs. Briefs had made it across.

Mickey tried making his way across again. He looked over at Sarah and saw that she was managed to make it across as well. Mickey made it across the beam further than the previous attempt, but still submitted to gravity and fell off. Sarah, on the other hand, managed to make it across.

Kevin quickly found the sack of letters to be heavier than he thought, and fell off his beam during the return trip almost instantly. Yoshi, carrying her heavy bag, stepped onto the beam and staggered back and forth a couple of times before falling off.

Sam and Mrs. Briefs both managed to get onto the beam and tried to carry their bags of letters across. However, they both fell off the beam, although Sam made it a little further than Mrs. Briefs did. This gave Homer and Metabee the time to make it across the the beam and grab their respective bags.

Kevin attempted to make it across again, but he still wasn't used to the weight of his bag and fell off again. Sarah attempted to go across, but fell off promptly, landing flat on her face.

As Mickey and Launch made it across long after everyone else did, Yoshi stared at the beam. She took a deep breath before charging forward. Jumping onto the beam, Yoshi raced across it with the sack slung over her shoulder. Not wasting any time getting across, Yoshi didn't have the time to lose her balance and made it across to the other side of the beam in record time.

JusSonic: Yoshi's across! The rest of you need to step things up!

Yoshi, seeing that she was in the lead, raced over to where she had started and dumped the letters from inside the bag. The Digimon girl's face fell when she saw how many of them there were.

Yoshi: How the heck do they expect us to make anything out of this mess?

Deciding to take her time going across the beam, Kevin tiptoed across, trying to keep his balance, as Mickey passed him. The mouse took another tumble off his beam and Launch started making her way across.

Launch: I don't understand how that Digimon girl could get across so quickly.

She wobbled back and forth a couple of times before falling off the beam.

Homer decided to try Yoshi's strategy and raced across the beam. However, he quickly slipped and fell off halfway, the beam slamming into his crotch. Homer let out a shout of pain before weakly tumpling off the beam and landing painfully on his back.

Metabee: Ouch. Uh…That looked like it hurt. You okay, Homer?

Homer: (higher pitched) Yeah. I'm good.

Sarah didn't even look like she was trying anymore. In fact, she looked like she was purposefully falling off the beam every time she got on it just to see how painful she could make her falls look. The pink haired woman hit the ground again, but she just sat up and laughed.

Sarah: Oh, that hurt so good! I wanna do that again!

Everyone tried to ignore Sarah, but she ended up distracting a few people enough to make them fall off the beam again. Sam cursed as she hit the ground just after Kevin dropped again.

Yoshi, in the meantime, frantically worked with the letters, trying to figure out a logical word that they all spelled out.

Yoshi: I can't even think of a word that has this many letters! …Wait. Maybe the solution is more than one word…But that doesn't help me!

Passing over the still-downed-and-very-much-in-pain'ed form of Homer, Sarah raced back onto the beam for another go. She made it about halfway before falling off again.

Metabee and Kevin, on the other hand, were taking their time in making their way across. After having taken previous falls off the beam, the two boys finally managed to make it across the beam.

Julayla: Metabee and Kevin are across! Yoshi's still struggling with the letters!

Yoshi started to panic as Metabee and Kevin raced over and dumped their letters over their respective starting areas. The Digimon girl looked at her letters, wondering what she could possibly spell from all of this. However, she saw a particular word spelled out amidst the mess and a light went on in her head. Looking at the letters, she saw that all of the needed letters were present and got to work.

Kevin: (scratches head) I wonder what they expect us to spell with all of this…

Metabee was having similar problems, and just started putting together words that fit in his head, hoping that he was right.

Metabee: Something tells me that I'm way off…

Neros: We have a winner! The game is over!

Just as Mrs. Briefs and Launch made it across the beam, everyone heard the hosts make the announcement. Everyone looked and saw that a very relieved Yoshi was standing over three words spelled out with her letters: BOYS, GIRLS and MALARCIOUS.

Orange-Ratchet: Yoshi wins Reward!

(Later…)

JusSonic: Congratulations on winning Reward, Yoshi. You will be able to go to the hotel for the day, spend time with your friends and family and take a break from the tribe. However, we'll let you take one person with you. Which one will you take?

Yoshi: Do you even need to ask? (smiles) Mickey.

Mickey smirked as he walked off the mat and over to join Yoshi. The hosts nodded as they looked at the others.

Orange-Ratchet: Yoshi and Mickey will be gone for the rest of the day and will rejoin the rest of you at the Immunity Challenge tomorrow. The rest of you can head back to camp.

As Yoshi and Mickey left the area a different way to go to the waiting helicopter, the other seven contestants left the area to go back to camp.

(Malarcious Tribe)

Sam: (C.S.) Yoshi won Reward and she took Mickey with her. This is good. Now I can actually start relaying a plan out in the open without having to worry about them. Those two are too tight to leave alone, and this far into the game it could get dangerous to let them be.

Homer: You're willing to get rid of Mickey or Yoshi?

Sam: Yes. Those two have been inseparable since the start. You have to agree with me that letting them both go deep enough into the game would be stupid.

Homer: Actually, I'm surprised that you're thinking the same thing we were thinking. So you agree that we'll vote for Mickey first?

Sam: Yes. He's definitely the bigger threat. If he wins Immunity, we'll vote for Yoshi.

Homer: Well, it's good to have you on our side this time. I just hope that Sarah will be just as willing.

Sam: I'm certain that even she's aware that she's a threat. If we decide to keep her around, she's sure to vote with us. How about I go over and tell her about this? You two can go and convince Kevin.

Homer: Sure. We can do that.

Kevin: (C.S.) Sam seems intent on separating the alliance of Mickey and Yoshi. I admit that they're a threat, but they don't know that I'm currently in an alliance with them. At least I hope so. Hopefully, Mickey will relay the message to Yoshi while they're at the hotel.

Elsewhere, Launch was thinking about the idol, now aware of where it is.

Launch: Hmmm... most likely Mickey would use the idol if he doesn't win Immunity... Some of us will have to vote Yoshi or Sam... This could be interesting.

(Hotel)

Yoshi: This place looks cool! (looks around as she went inside.)

Mickey: This will definitely be a nice chance sleeping in a room here instead of that shelter back at camp. Hey, thanks for bringing me along, Yoshi.

Yoshi: Who else would I take? You and I have been a team since the start!

Mickey: (C.S.) Yoshi bringing me along is good. Now not only will we get some time to strategize without having to worry about the others breathing down our backs, but I can tell Yoshi about Kevin. I'm sure that Yoshi will be happy to have a concrete alliance at long last.

After going on a quick tour, the two friends ended up at a second-floor balcony, waiting for their friends to show up. The two walked outside as Mickey was talking to Yoshi about what was going on.

Yoshi: So Kevin wants to join us?

Mickey: (nods) He figured that threats should join forces because we'd probably get picked off anyway. You have to admit that it's a good idea. I don't think anyone would want to take either of us to the finals.

Yoshi: Yeah. They'd want to take someone who's less of a threat. I think Kevin joining us is a great idea. So it's just the three of us?

Mickey: Yeah. If we can survive a few more Tribal Councils, we'd be able to take everyone by surprise.

Yoshi: (C.S.) This is great. Mickey and I have slipped by without having to join a concrete alliance, and now that the chance has come up, we're taking it. Kevin could be a major help to us with an extra vote, and we'll definitely keep him around if it means that we'll go deeper into the game.

???: Hey, guys!

(Yoshi and Mickey looked and smiled as their friends came over.)

Donald: Hey, Mickey! How's the game?

Mickey: Really great Donald!

Goofy: Gawrsh, this is exciting to see ya!

Pluto: (barks as he licks Mickey's cheek)

Marcus: Hey, Yoshi, congratulations on making it far into the game.

Yoshi: Thanks.

Lalamon: You're doing a great job out there!

Thomas: Yeah, great job!

Mickey and Yoshi smiled as their friends showed the two Survivors around.

(Marlacious Tribe)

Kevin: Are you sure voting off Mickey or Yoshi would be a good idea? If you ask me, Sam and Sarah are the bigger threats.

Metabee: Kevin, Sarah may be a threat, but she's not really on an alliance. And Sam is the smartest person here. We need to separate Mickey and Yoshi because they're an even bigger threat together.

Kevin: Whereas if we don't eliminate Sam or Sarah, it could seriously come back to bite us.

Metabee: (C.S.) I don't know why Kevin is so apprehensive about this plan. I mean, I know he confided in Mickey a number of days ago, but he doesn't seem intent on voting with us. We admit that Sam and Sarah will be getting eliminated soon enough, but right now, the main focus should be on spitting the strongest alliance.

Homer: Kevin, we think that this is the best strategy right now. Sam's good with it and she'll be getting Launch to vote as well.

Kevin: (bites lip) What about Sarah and Mrs. Briefs? Where do they stand on this?

Homer: Mrs. Briefs' willing to split the alliance and Sarah's just glad that we won't be targeting her. That pretty much got her vote right there.

Kevin: Well…Okay. I'll think about it.

With that, Homer and Metabee left the N Team member alone, still unsure as to how loyal he would be to them.

Metabee: What do you think, Homer? I'm not sure if we'll have his vote.

Homer: I don't get it. There has to be a reason for him being so apprehensive. I mean, when we were starting off, he'd side with us no problem.

Meanwhile, a very confused Sarah was sniffing around the camp like a bloodhound, crawling on all fours.

Sarah: I don't get it. My nose has never failed me. A few days ago, I could smell the Immunity Idol coming from somewhere by the beach, but now it's coming from somewhere else. It's almost like the idol sprouted legs and found another hiding place. There's only one logical explanation…The sand creatures have hidden the idol and now no one is safe! I swear on the grave of my left bunny slipper that I'll find those monsters!

Sarah suddenly heard someone coming. She let out a quiet gasp.

Sarah: The sand creatures! (dives into bush)

After she had gone, Launch and Sam walked into view, unknowing that Sarah was in the bush.

Launch: Anyone watching us?

Sam: No. It's good that Mickey and Yoshi are at that resort, though. They'd probably be watching me like a hawk.

Launch: Okay. So everyone seems intent on voting Mickey and Yoshi out to play the idol. Then... you said you did wanted to be voted out?

Sam: That's right. I guess I kinda feel bad for Danny. I want to see how he's doing.

Launch: Hmm... interesting. So, it's a win win situation. Mickey plays idol, he's vulnerable for next time, and you can go and see Danny. I guess that means that things will go smoothly at Tribal Council no matter who wins Immunity. So what would happen after getting rid of Mickey and Yoshi?

Sam: Sarah's a big Immunity threat, but Homer and Metabee are just as big because of their alliance. I think it would be wise to take one of those guys to the finals, but we need to split those two up.

Launch: Then take out Sarah?

Sam: Right. In the end, it would probably be best to take Mrs. Briefs to the finals. I think it would be safe to say that she hasn't done enough to get any votes from the jury.

Launch: (C.S.) I'm glad Sam's helping me with the plan. Now the two of us have a flawless plan to reach the end. If we take someone to the end who hasn't done anything big throughout the game, then no one will vote for them. And the best part is that no one will suspect us being in an alliance.

Sarah: (C.S., sing/taunt) I know something they don't think I know! I know something they don't think I know!

Night eventually rolled in. Everyone still at camp went to bed early, anticipating the challenge the next day.

(Malarcious Tribe, Day 28)

Mrs. Briefs: (C.S.) Well, we're going to have another challenge today. Obviously Immunity. The plan seems to be that we'll be getting rid of either Mickey or Yoshi, but in a game like this there are no guarantees. Anything can happen, because I found that out myself when Spongebob was stupidly eliminated pre-merge.

As she and Metabee were walking to check on the mail, Mrs. Briefs decided to speak up.

Mrs. Briefs: Hey, Metabee?

Metabee: Yes, Mrs. Briefs?

Mrs. Briefs: You sure this will work? I mean, voting off either Mickey or Yoshi so that they can play the idol and Sam goes.

Metabee: Why wouldn't it work? Everyone seems okay with it. Besides, you, me and Homer are on an alliance of people that aren't physical threats. If the idol is played, it would most likely be against Sam.

Mrs. Briefs: I guess that makes sense.

Metabee: (C.S.) Mrs. Briefs made a good point. We don't have the game won yet and we're still not in the clear. Our biggest asset right now is the fact that pretty much everyone left is stronger than the three of us, but we're not going to let it get to our heads.

Mrs. Briefs: (looks in box) Looks like we have Treemail.

Metabee: And this means that we'll be reunited with Mickey and Yoshi. Let's take it to the others.

The two quickly took the treemail back to the others, whom waited as Mrs. Briefs read the letter.

Mrs. Briefs: 'Follow the directions to the Immunity Challenge. Time to brush up on a classic sport'.

Launch: Another sport challenge. I wonder when production will make a task that I can actually benefit from.

Sarah: Sorry, but over-exaggerated acting and split personalities wouldn't make for good TV.

(Immunity Challenge)

The seven castaways walked into a clearing in the jungle and over to the black mat sitting on the ground. Once everyone was on, the hosts started talking.

JusSonic: Before we start the challenge, let's bring in Yoshi and Mickey, whom just came back from visiting their families.

Everyone watched as Mickey and Yoshi emerged from the jungle and walked over to the mat to wait with everyone else.

Julayla: Welcome to your next Immunity Challenge, Malarcious. The premise of this challenge is simple. We just want to see you guys throw some spears.

Everyone saw that there was a line of nine spear hoops set up not too far away. It looked like there was a counter built into each one.

Neros: I'm going to give you two minutes, and you guys need to shoot more baskets than anyone else within that time limit. There's an electronic counter on each board that will register the score when the ball goes through the net, so that will eliminate miscalculation and cheating. The one that scores the most baskets within the two-minute time period will win Immunity and will be safe at tonight's Tribal Council.

Everyone looked at each other and realized that the challenge, despite being sport-oriented, didn't really benefit anyone there. Under the host's guidance, the nine castaways chose a basket and lined up to prepare to start. Everyone had been given a spear, which would fall into a net and roll back to the thrower no matter where on the board it hit.

JusSonic: Okay, for Immunity, survivors ready…Go!

Everyone quickly threw their first spear at their targets. In a somewhat comedic way, no one managed to score a point and all of the spears bounced off the boards at almost the same time.

Sarah: Oh! De-nied!

Kevin was quick to make up for her first shot and scooped up his spear, throwing it straight into the basket.

Kevin: Okay. Just keep this up for a couple of minutes. Shouldn't be too hard.

Everyone was trying to focus on shooting baskets, so no one paid any attention to each other. Kevin, Mickey and Homer were doing the best so far, having scored more baskets than the others. Launch, Sarah and Sam were catching up while Metabee, Mrs. Briefs and Yoshi were a bit behind.

JusSonic watched everyone shoot baskets for a little bit before deciding to start asking questions.

JusSonic: Homer, are you any good at basketball?

Homer: I seem to recall asking you not to break my concentration during a challenge. (Tosses spear, spear misses) Crap!

JusSonic: Uh…Sarah, why are you throwing your ball over your shoulder?

Sarah: I did this all the time in high school. For some reason, I was a better shot when I couldn't see the net.

As if to prove this, Sarah tossed the spear over her shoulder without looking, making it go straight through the hoop cleanly. Everyone else chose to ignore this and continued to shoot basketballs.

JusSonic: Launch, how do you think you'll fare with this challenge?

Launch: (spear bounces off hoop) Homer's right. Are you TRYING to throw us off our game here?

JusSonic: Well, sor-ry! The challenges are the only time aside from Tribal Council we get any lines during the episodes.

The clock continued to tick and more baskets were shot. Kevin now had the lead, but Mickey and Homer were pretty close. Sarahndy had managed to build herself a lead over Sam and Launch while Yoshi had managed to separate herself a little from Metabee and Mrs. Briefs.

JusSonic: Mrs. Briefs, you're not doing too well here. Why is that?

Mrs. Briefs: We haven't played a lot of basketball in my world. Baseball, golf, soccer, and tennis, sure. But very rarely does anyone play basketball.

JusSonic: Kevin, you seem to be in a good position on the other hand. Where's this skill coming from?

Kevin: I'm just staying focused.

JusSonic: Hmm…Hey, Sammy-

Sam: (throws spear) SAM! (Her shout threw her off guard and her spear bounced off the hoop.) Gah! Now look at what you made me do!

JusSonic: Yoshi, what's you strategy going into this challenge?

Yoshi: For the most part, just hope I don't screw up. But unless someone at the front of the pack starts missing shots, there's no way I'll be able to catch up now.

The challenge continued and the scores continued to spread out, although the contestants were still in almost the same positions. The only differences were that Sarah was catching up on the leaders and Yoshi was approaching the middle of the pack for scores.

JusSonic: Sam, the challenge is almost over. You think you can catch up?

Sam: Not unless I can nail every basket from now on and they miss every basket. I'm not paying attention to the scores, but I think it's safe to assume that there are people a good ways ahead of me.

JusSonic: Metabee, You're not having a very good challenge. What seems to be the problem?

Metabee: I'm not an athlete. I'm a thinker. I've never really been good at sports.

JusSonic: Mickey, how do you think you're doing?

Mickey: I dunno. I'm not looking at the scores. I'm just looking at my own and trying to make sure that I get as many baskets as I can.

Everyone realized that they were in the final stretch of the challenge and started to pick up the pace. Unfortunately, this did little to help a few of the contestants, because the shortened time used to take aim usually cost them the point. Eventually, the time was up and a buzzer went to signal the end of the challenge. Yoshi managed to shoot at the basket one more time just as the buzzer went and she managed to get one final point.

JusSonic: Okay everyone, the challenge is over. Let's view the scores.

Julayla: Mrs, Briefs, that wasn't your best challenge. You only managed to get 20 baskets in the two minutes provided. (Mrs. Briefs sighed.)

Neros: Metabee, I'm afraid you didn't do much better. You only got 26 baskets. (Metabee nodded.)

Orange-Ratchet: Yoshi, that last shot didn't help you, but it got you closer to the middle of the pack. 32 baskets is what you got. (Yoshi shrugged.)

JusSonic: Launch, you fell behind a bit at the end. You scored 36 baskets. (Launch shook her head.)

Julayla: Sam, you managed to beat Launch, but the others got a lot more than you did. You finished with 40 baskets. (Sam looked indifferent.)

Neros: That leaves Kevin, Mickey, Homer and Sarah. I have to admit that Sarah managed to catch up to you guys, but was it enough to win?

The four looked at each other, wondering who had won.

Orange-Ratchet: Our second-place contestant, Kevin, scored five baskets less than the winner…The winner, with 55 baskets…Is Mickey! Mickey wins Immunity!

Mickey jumped in surprise and cheered. Yoshi cheered with him, but a few of the others looked a little upset.

(Later…)

JusSonic: Congratulations, Mickey. (puts on Immunity Hat) You are safe tonight.

Mickey: Swell!

Julayla: Mickey is safe tonight, but I'll be seeing you all at Tribal Council, where you'll be voting someone off.

Orange-Ratchet: You'll have the afternoon to decide, so you can all head back to camp.

(Malarcious Tribe)

Sam: (C.S.) Mickey won Immunity, but it hardly matters, even though he's a bigger threat. The others are good with voting Yoshi off tonight, who will play the idol, who will get rid of me. This will probably be best for me.. and for everyone else, because once that idol is played, it won't be of use anymore.

Homer: So we're voting for Yoshi, then? I want to make sure that we've got your vote.

Sam: This has been my plan since we hit the merge. I'm not backing out now. Why would you think that I would double-cross you in favor of Mickey and Yoshi.

Homer: You can never be too sure. You DID vote off SpongeBob pre-merge.

Sam: Surprisingly, that wasn't my idea. So I can assure you that the plan to vote Yoshi will be in order tonight. Sarah's good with it as well.

Homer: (C.S.) Do I trust Sam? Not exactly. But she DOES seem intent on splitting up the swing votes, which gives me a reason to temporarily trust her. But she'll probably be gone when Yoshi plays the idol.

Mickey: (C.S.) I'm actually surprised I managed to win an accuracy challenge. But the hoop was close enough for me to make out clearly, so it wasn't like I had any real problems with it. But still, I managed to win, and now that I did, I'm definitely going to put a plan into action.

Mickey: This is great! We'll be safe for another night!

Yoshi: (sighs) No, Mickey. YOU'RE safe. Now that you've got Immunity, they'll vote me off. Not even with Kevin's added vote would we have enough votes to stay alive.

Mickey: (smiles) Don't worry, Yoshi. We're not going anywhere. Just play the idol tonight and vote Sam out. I bet that's what Sam plans.

Yoshi: (C.S.) I feel that this will probably be a good idea... with the idol played, Sam will probably be voted out... this is a good idea! Besides, I bet she misses Danny anyway... Danny even said so himself when we visited him in the hotel.

(Tribal Council)

Nine people entered Tribal Council, carrying lit torches. Finding their spots, everyone sat down and waited for the hosts to start talking.

JusSonic: Before we start, let's bring out the members of the jury. Constance, Chopper and Miss Chatterbox, voted out at the last Tribal Council.

Everyone watched as Constance and Chopper entered Tribal Council, a familiar Miss Men following them. Miss Chatterbox was now wearing a tie-dye tee shirt, a pair of shorts, and was wearing a sleek visor over her eyes. The three walked over to the jury bench and sat down.

Julayla: They won't address you and you are not to address them. They're here just to watch.

JusSonic: Time to begin. Mickey, how does it feel to be safe for a few days or so?

Mickey: Sounds nice. I know a few people who would want me gone but for now, though, I'm staying.

Julayla: Sam, let's talk about alliances. Who is in charge now?

Sam: I think the girls one. We got a few alliance members than usual, though some may say that we broke off from one another. Who knows?

Neros: Homer, any alliances that we should know of?

Homer: Sorry, the number you have dialed is out of service. Please call again later. Beeep!

(Yoshi frowns at Homer in suspicion)

Orange Ratchet: Sarah, as the only insane person in this group, how did you play your game so far?

Sarah: By pretending that I am not here. By doing so, I am really here but I am not here!

Metabee: Now that doesn't make sense!

Sarah: Good, it's working already.

JusSonic: Let's talk about the reward challenge? Does anyone regret not getting their reward?

Sam: I think I'm fine, but I wish I can get back to the hotel soon and be with Danny.

Orange Ratchet: One last question. If anyone has any strategies, how will they work tonight?

Mrs. Briefs: We just have to play the right one and see where we go to from there.

JusSonic: It is now time to vote. Mrs. Briefs, you're up first.

(Mrs. Briefs got up and head to the voting area, putting down a name before leaving. We see Kevin, Launch and Metabee voting. We see Mickey holding up "SAM")

Mickey: Hope you can forgive me.

(Mickey leaves. We see Sam coming in, holding out "YOSHI")

Sam: I know about the idol, guys, and I know Yoshi will play it soon. I just want to vote just in case.

(Sam leaves. We see Sarah and Yoshi voting. Once the Digimon girl has voted, she return to Tribal Council, sitting her ass down)

JusSonic: All right, damn it, I will get the votes.

(JusSonic leaves to get the box, returning with it)

JusSonic: Once the votes are read, the decision is final. The person with the most votes must leave the Tribal Council area at once.

Orange Ratchet: If anyone has found the hidden immunity idol, play it now.

(Suddenly Yoshi got up and head to the hosts with the idol, much to the surprise of the tribe members)

Metabee: The hell?!

Yoshi: I got the idol here. (to Mickey) Thanks Mickey.

Mickey: No problem.

(Neros takes the necklace from Yoshi, looking at it carefully)

Neros: Yep. This is the real deal so that means Yoshi is immune for tonight.

Homer: (frowns) Awwww....

(Yoshi sat back down)

JusSonic: All right, Mickey and Yoshi are immune tonight. Let's read the votes and see who else will go.

(JusSonic opens the box and got the first vote out)

JusSonic: First vote...(shows vote) Yoshi.

(Yoshi watch as Julayla got the second vote out)

Julayla: Second vote...Sam.

(Sam watch as Neros got the third vote out)

Neros: Sam. 2 votes Sam, 1 vote Yoshi.

(Orange Ratchet got the fourth vote out)

Orange Ratchet: Yoshi. 2 votes Sam, 2 votes Yoshi.

(JusSonic got the fifth vote out, reading it)

JusSonic: Sam. 3 votes Sam,. 2 votes Yoshi.

(Julayla got the sixth vote out)

Julayla: Yoshi. 3 votes Sam, 3 votes Yoshi.

(Neros got the seventh vote out)

Neros: Yoshi. 4 votes Yoshi, 3 votes Sam.

(Orange Ratchet got the eighth vote out)

Orange Ratchet: Yoshi. 5 votes Yoshi, 3 votes Sam. One more vote to go.

(JusSonic got the ninth vote out, reading it carefully)

JusSonic: Final vote...(shows vote) Yoshi. However since Yoshi has played the vote, the second biggest number will go. And that's Sam, so Sam?

(Sam nods as she got up, saying her final goodbyes and crap)

Sam: Well, I'm not surprised. I kinda saw this coming.

Launch: Well...

(Sam brings her torch to the hosts who got the usual snuffer)

JusSonic: Sam, the tribe has spoken.

(JusSonic use the snuffer on Sam's torch, putting it out for good)

JusSonic: It's time for you to go.

Sam: Have fun, guys.

(Sam heads down the path to exile as everyone else watch her go, leaving the game for good)

Julayla: Interesting strategy with the idol, but that's used once. Best to be on your best behavior, everyone, or your game is over.

Neros: Head back to camp. Good night.

(The remaining eight tribe players got up and heads back to camp. We see Sam for the last time as we fade to black, endiung the episode)

END EPISODE 10

Confession-
Sam: I am not mad for getting voted out, all part of the plan, really. I played the game well and is grateful to be done with it already. When I come back, I expected some true winners and such. I hope to see you guys later.

Author's note
Well, this is a big surprise, huh folks? Read and review.
