**<>** Private Confessional

Last time on Survivor…

Berenty had gone to their first tribal council and got rid of Star. Garret was sick of his tribe.

**Garret: I'm annoyed by my tribe, I hate them. Nancy is annoying and keeps bothering me, Sarah doesn't do much and I can't do anything about Jake, Anna, and Lindsey.**

His plea was answered as John and Jake, the original tribe leaders got to pick two people from the other tribe they wanted. Ashley and Kitty went to Berenty while Garret and Nancy went to Civet.

But as soon as they got to Civet, Civet was torn apart.

**John: As soon as they came over, I had started playing the game and strategizing a little more**

At Berenty Kitty began to start playing the game, and strategized with Ashley. While this was going on Lindsey needed to know if Ashley was trustworthy.

**Lindsey: Ashley better watch out for me. She is leading CD on and I don't like that too much, so she is in the corner of my eye right now...and I'm not letting her out of my site.**

Back at Civet CD and John seemed to agree when privately this wasn't what they were thinking.

"In case we go to tribal council... Nancy," said John
"Why not Garret? Why Nancy?" asked CD.
"Ok, tell you what, we vote Garret out this tribal council if we go, then we vote out Nancy if we go again?" said John.
"I will vote Garret on the first Tribal Council...agreed!" said CD.

**John: Getting kind of rebelious trying to opose to the alliance and i particularly dont like that he wont get the boot too soon but yes soon enough.**
**CD: I just want to do what is the best for me and that means keeping my friends and alliance members safe.**

At the immunity challenge each leader had to pick a new leader for their tribe. Garret prevailed for Civet and Anna lost. Both are now the new leaders of their tribe.

At tribal council, Berenty decided to get rid of inactives before Civet enemies and Sarah was voted off unanimously.

Now only 12 are left, who will be voted off next?

Berenty
Anna
Jake
Lindsey
X Sarah
X Star
Summer
Ashley
Kitty

Civet
CD
Emily
X Jennifer
X Joel
John
Nancy
Michael
Garret

-Berenty Camp-
-Night 12-


Anna, Lindsey, and Summer came in crying. They had just voted off Sarah.

**Lindsey: We regret the vote now, it was very difficult actually choosing one of our own off.**

**Jake: Sarah was not giving the tribe anything any more and had to go**

**Kitty: I was shocked, they came and told us and it was decided**

**Anna: Sarah was just becoming the slacker**

**Ashley: I never would've guessed that we would be tied up with Berenty, the game really has changed**

Jake got the fire ready and the tribe talked about the tribal council and everything that had happened.

**Summer: We are just a very friendly tribe to one another!**

-Civet camp-
-Day 13-

"Kitty I bet," said Emily. Her and John had been talking early that morning getting their rice ready. Both didn't sleep to well the previous night and decided just to get up.

"This sucks a bit, then we are down to five..." said John.

**John: It seems we can't pull ourselves out of this ditch**

**Emily: The switch messed things up and made alliegances a bit screwy not only on our tribe but on their tribe as well I bet**

The tribes had to rest, rethink, then make a new plan.

But things were becoming difficult.

**John: Day after day I feel like my tribe is pulling away from me, I only really trust Michael now**

CD was planning on starting his strategizing. The first few boots had been sympathy or boots to vote out the pathetic. CD wanted a nice group with himself, Ashley, Lindsey, Nancy, and possibly whoever else he could get on it. They could side with one tribe then when it came down to them, and the remaining members out of the alliance they would attack.

**CD: Every time we do something, I'm thinking how this will affect me further down in the game.**

The rest of the tribe got up and started to do some chores.

Garret went to look for some extra food.

**Garret: I'm getting sick of the lack of maturity that surrounds me, people are acting certain ways that sometimes makes me go insane, I thought being on this tribe would be better, but things are starting to wind down again.

"I don't have ally's on either tribe, if something came close to it, possibly...John, but without Star I got nobody," said Garret eyeing some fruit up in the trees.

"Garret!" yelled Nancy.
"Yea?" he asked.
"Garret, I'm excited, we are merging soon, and we have majority, its great, we can just take them out in the finals then its a bit of war..." said Nancy.
"I'm not so sure, Lindsey told us of her friendship she made with CD on the hike over, CD won't be going it won't work like that," said Garret.
"Lindsey is a Berenty and CD is a Civet, yes it will," said Nancy.
"It won't as soon as we get down to the final 8 ot 7 I'm toast, I'm gone they won't keep me, I have to figure something," Garret said and got up, he walked off.

**Nancy: Me and Garret have grown a bit distant from eachother since we switched, I'm not sure what is up**

**Garret: Nancy has been so annoying lately, I can't stand it....**

The two butted heads the rest of the day.

"Its a bit ridiculous those two," said Emily watching them fight. Michael nodded.

Things for both tribes were becoming difficult.

Things were becoming tedious and boring. The same thing day after day.

One thing they could do is make their camp nicer and try to make things. Reward points were awarded this way, not just by challenge. Group gatherings were also encouraged.

"We need to get those reward points up, so I need you guys to at least to 1 thing here day," said John when the sun was starting to set.

**John: Me, Michael and Garret tried to do games and things all day, we did a ton of them, we listed our favorite foods and discussed movies together, all we know is that one of the next two immunity challenges is reward points and we have to get ahead of Berenty...I do so much sometimes I feel like I'm still the leader.**

-Berenty Camp-
-Day 14-

Right as everyone got up, Lindsey started to cheer.

"Treemail I have treemail!" yelled Lindsey excitedly.

The tribe came over to look.

"All locked up and no where to go, the correct combination will steal the show, break out quickly as you can, a prize of 500 will be in your hand."

"If we win this, we are back in the game!" yelled Anna excitedly.

**Anna: I've felt bad ever since we lost those reward points and want to win them back badly.**

**Ashley: I told Anna that I wouldn't be mad at her if she said no--but I'm not mad at her at all**

The tribe decided they had to figure out a combination of numbers.

"Berenty!" they yelled excitedly throwing their hands in the hair like a sports event.

-Challenge Field-
-Day 14-

The two tribes walked into challenge field.

"Oh my gosh..." said Nancy on her tribe her mouth wide open. Everyone on the Civet tribe was surprised by the results. Sarah was missing.

"They voted her out," said Nancy whispering to Garret.

The two tribes walked toward Jeff.

"Welcome to your reward challenge. Your scores will remain private until the reward point challenge coming up. Good luck to both tribes. This prize for this challenge is 500 reward points!" yelled Jeff.

The two tribes cheered.

"Now on to the challenge. Your tribe will be divided up by two groups of three in tow separate cages and then put into tanks of water sideways. You must grab the rope between the to tanks and pull your cage so that its standing long ways. At the bottom of each tank is three clues to then open up the cage. You must then climb out of the cage and race to your tribe mat. First one their will get the 500 reward points and a fruit basket. Lets get you in the cages."

Jake, Anna, and Summer got into one cage while Ashley, Kitty, and Lindsey got into the other cage for Berenty.

Civet had John, Emily, and Michael in one cage while Garret, Nancy, and CD got into the other cage.

The four cages lowered down into the tanks, some of the girls screamed as they had to lay down to get in and then get half their body into water while still in the cage.

"Survivor's Ready? GO!" yelled Jeff.

The four groups grabbed for the ropes immediatly both falling back into the water.

"Balance eahother's weight, pull them up together!" yelled Jake.

Berenty pulled their cages up right. Then Ashley took a deep breath to see the clues on the bottom.

At Civet Garret's Nancy, and CD's cage was up but John could get his cage up.

"CD you guys hold on and we will use your weight to cancel out are weight...just hold on!"

It quickly worked and they pulle themselves up. Nancy went for the first clue.

"We have the numbers 5,9,0,3,3,7 down here!" yelled Ashley on Berenty. She took another breath and went down.

It was hard to read the clues and each tribe got no where.

Nancy came up three or four times not seeing things clearly.

Ashley couldn't get the first clue.

Finally Nancy came up "5,9,0, two threes, and a 7 those are the numbers."

John put them in the combination to find only four spots to put numbers.

Garret and CD pulled Nancy up, "We can only put four numbers in, not 6."

"No those are the numbers we have a choice to use. Let me read the clues!" said Nancy.

"No this is taking forever, I'll go..." said Garret. He dived down.

On Berenty Ashley popped up, "Two the same."

"Thats three and three he whispered to Anna," she put them in.

"Two the same!" yelled Garret on Civet.

"Things are looking pretty close from both tribes," said Jeff.

Ashley went back down again after listening to Jeff.

Each tribe again had difficult reading the second and third clues.

"Hm, it said by two's to the lowest uneven."

"Un...odd number...9,7,5..5 is in it!" said Jake.

Ashley went down for another clue.

"Civet has one unlocked!" yelled Jeff suddenly.

Anna looked at Jake.

"Zero!" yelled Ashley coming up, "We need 5,0, 3 and 3. Hurry up."

"But what order?" yelled Jake.

"Two locks done Civet is crawling out."

"Got it!" yelled Lindsey from her cage, "5330 hurry."

Berenty went as fast as they could to catch up to Civet.

Civet jumped out of the tanks and ran to their mat soaking wet.

"The winners of this reward challenge...Civet!" yelled Jeff, "You guys get back on the board with 500 extra reward points. Good luck to both tribes, I'll see you at immunity."

The two tribes left.

-Civet Camp-
-Day 14-

The tribe celebrated throughout the day, but Garret and Nancy went off on their own.

"Sarah!" yelled Garret.
"Yeah..." said Nancy, "I saw that coming..."
"So did I. Are you as angry about it as I am?"
"Yes, I am much angrier then you...but other reasons," said Nancy.
"It's stupid isn't it? Just argh, DUMB Prismic Beauty: Civet will vote us out as soon as they can. And they are voting Berenty out on their own will. Thats bull!" said Garret, Berenty is playing stupid..sigh."
No they won't!" said Nancy.
"'Please don't be naive, they will...they are gonna vote us out as SOON as we go to tribal council...." laughed Garret.
"Were you and Sarah aligned?"
"Jake doesn't want to keep Kitty anyways," said Nancy.
"Then why didn't they vote her out," said Garret.
"She wasn't helping....didn't you know?" asked Nancy.
"No.Well -- we are by ourselves now. Civet has a great alliance, and are playing amazingly," Garret sighed.
"I wouldn't think so," snapped Nancy.
"And we are stuck with them, about to be voted out, while our "tribemates" are playing stupidly. But -- what can ya do."
"No, I don't believe that!" yelled Nancy.
"What do you not believe?" said Garret.
"That former tribemates are playing stupid and that the other Civets are playing amazingly," said Nancy, "I don't beleive that."
Garret rolled his eyes, " I'm sure they aren't playing STUPIDLY, but they are playing a bit naive. I bet they think that Ashley is going to go with Berenty. She won't! Ha! And they expect Lindsey to stay loyal!"
"I think before we make guesses we should know whats going on.."
"She's going with CD I'm sure...CD talks about it, Lindsey did.
"I personally like the way the game is playing out..." said Nancy, Garret laughed.
"And if we go to tribal council, what do you think will happen then?"
"If we go to tribal council John will get the boot, he isn't liked over here."
Garret burst out laughing, Nancy frowned, "You really think so?"
"He wants an alliance with me so bad. He doesn't want to go and CD said he was a threat..." said Nancy.
"So you really expect them to vote John out?" said Garret.
Nancy had no response.
Garret rolled his eyes and burst out in anger, "I am sick of people playing ignorantly. You aren't liking my strategy and I've been trying my best and so I've nearly given up. If you can't trust me, the only tribe member you have over here, who can you trust?"
"We can manipulate...people that is fun..."
"I'm doing no manipulation over here... I wanted to make actual friends, who I could have intelligent conversation with. And after day one I knew that was a joke, Star is gone -- and I have NO conversation with anyone else worth a shit. I expected people to play this game who...never mind, thats a bit to mean...see ya," said Garret.
He got up and started gathering his stuff.
"What are you doing?" asked John.
"I'm sick of this game, everyone is ridiculous, no one worth talking or playing with."
"So what?"
"I'm leaving!" said Garret practially spitting itno John's face, "I'm done and want to go!"
"Garret you can't we need you!" said John.
"Sorry," said Garret.
"You leaving then?" said Nancy coming over.
"You to talk...its been fun but I take my bow here!" Garret stormed off not to be seen again by the contestants.
"This sucks..." said Emily watching Garret walk away.
Tribal Council 5
No Tribal Council. Garret quit.

Garret's Final Words
I can't deal with this immaturity anymore. My old tribe was stupid and Nancy doesn't know how to play. This cast is definitely the worst yet and I'm glad I'm leaving thank God I am leaving! Sorry though, it is a great game but I can't deal with it.
