-Mantella Camp-
-Night 21-

The nine members of Mantella walked back in to camp

"We are the final nine, everyone makes the jury now!" said Jake.

Emily sat down and unpacked some things. She sat their shocked. Behind her Michael looked around he had to rethink his alliance and his plan.

**Emily: John leaving was a total shock, I thought we were together till the end somebody switched sides**

CD eyed them and then went to sleep.

Thoughts went through their minds…

**CD: My core alliance is Lindsey, Ashley and me, I think I'm going to pull for Emily**

**Emily: I won't sit here and get voted off I'll do something…**

**Anna: This next vote will be the hardest**

**Summer: I just have to stick together with people and vote out people**

**Jake: We need to decide to get rid of two people**

**Michael: With John gone I need to get myself and Emily safe**

**Lindsey: Final 3 will be CD, Ashley, and me**

**Nancy: I have to keep myself on track with what order I think everyone wants so I can get some votes away from me.**

**Ashley: I'm in it till the end..**

The tribe members went to sleep.

-Mantella Camp-
-Day 22-

CD quickly approached Emily early that morning the bigger the core alliance the better.

"What happened last tribal council?" asked Emily as CD came over.
"John was voted out," said CD.
Emily rolled her eyes, "I know…look Summer is really cool but Michael brought up Summer and there was no dispute to it, but you Linz and Ashley go ad vote John…"
"I never agreed to vote Summer," declared CD.
"You never disputed it either…
"I never had a chance.."
"But not John…and why did everyone else vote John?"
"Because he never talked to anyone really, he was an outsider.."
"He was a Civet! We would take him out in the final 6!He deserved to make it farther…"
CD sighed… "Look Emily your safe…don't worry, and I didn't tell you to vote for him because you wouldn't have…"
"But why did he get out now?"
Him going out leads the way for someone else to go out...and ensures a final four with four people I want...you me Lindsey and Ashley," whispered CD.
"What about Michael?" asked Emily
"Well I know you are close to Michael and to John so…I said you didn't have to vote for John…"
"So now you want Michael to leave?" asked Emily.
"What? All I can say is your safe…"
"So do I vote with you now?"
"If you want to vote with me and you can give me your absolute word that you will vote with me...
"So what's the plan?"
"There isn't a plan…"
"Then why can't Michael join?" asked Emily.
"You gave yourself the answer right in there...Lindsey"
"Lindsey isn't stupid or gullible there are things that she wants out of this too…without her we crumble with her we make the final four…"
"Wait its going to be me and Michael out in the final six then…"
"We aren't taking you out!"
"What does Lindsey have to do with Michael…"
"She wants Anna in the final five…"
"Give me a break…Anna is to tight with Jake," said Emily.
"So?"
"And Michael gets out?
"I don't wanna say yes and I don't wanna say no because I have no control over this game…" said CD, "For all I know I could get out next…"
Emily rolls her eyes, "Yea.." she says sarcastically. "You have control! Your tight with Lindsey who has control…"
"I have no control! If Lindz thinks I have to much power she'll vote me out…"
"She is the queen of the ship!" said Emily.
"I think she is the most popular and the most liked..do you think she'll win the game?"
"Hell yeah!"
"So it doesn't matter who is in the final 2 with her…"
"Nope."
"So can I talk to Michael about this?"
"I would rather you not...but I can't stop you…"
"I won't…"
"Thanks Emily…"
"So what happens if it backfires?" asks Emily.
"I'll take the fall for everyone I guess.."
"No offense, but your playing a dangerous game…" said Emily and walks off.

**CD: I need this core alliance and I don't need any difficulty…some people ask to many questions…**

**Emily: Even though they betrayed us it looks like the best option**

As Emily walked off Michael watched.

**Michael: I like Emily…but if she is with CD this sucks…**

Assumptions were made as the game halfway point was crossed.

It seemed Michael had become the outsider and new plans and old strategies came up.

**Lindsey: I'm ready to play this game for real and vote people out!**

**Anna: I have seemed to lay back and almost give up on my plan to take Michael, Jake and Summer to the end.  Because I am not sure we can pull it off and I don't know where every one stands.**

**Jake: Some people, I'm not sure how much longer I can stand them…like Nancy!**

**CD: We had an alliance of Jake, Anna, Ashley, Lindsey, Summer, and me. Now for this tribal council we are breaking into two groups. The first chance I get I'll go and vote out Jake…**

**Anna: Everyone wants to vote for Michael except a few of us and well it could be bad… It would be a very big switch and it would be the end for one dominant group.**

**Jake: I talk to Michael every now and then but he seems like the definite vote and I don't know if I want to stab others in the back just for him to stay in our alliance**

**Nancy: I have an alliance with Anna, Jake, Summer, and another one with Lindsey and CD and I'm deciding where to go**

**Jake: I'm trusting Nancy the least…to quiet..**

**Michael: I don't exactly like Nancy but don't hate her either**

**Nancy: Jake is a sincere guy, I think he wants me to go far**

**Summer: Tribal Council has gotten so hard recently, I'm not sure how I'll continue to vote**

**Ashley: I'm closest with CD and Lindsey**

**Emily: I'm tight with everyone…err I guess so not really with Linz, she doesn't talk much with me…**

**Nancy: Emily has been so annoying keeping to herself and not telling people who she is voting with**

**Michael: I'm good friends with Emily and Anna I hope afterwards we stay friends**

**CD: I must get Jake and Anna out plain and simple and I've got this game set, I've got it in the bag**

**Ashley: We are getting close to the end and so now we have to make sacrifices**

**Lindsey: These tribal councils are no sweat, no problems…**

**Emily: This is just so fricken hard..**

Emily was caught with a decision to make, while Anna and Jake planned to separate themselves from CD's alliance.

**CD: This position is so good…its precious.**

-Mantilla Camp-
-Day 23-

The tribe awoke as alliances came into play, but it was unusually quiet.

**Summer: Nothing really going on, just some strategizing**

**Anna: The tribe has basically stopped communicating with eachother…**

**Michael: I'd wish we were saying stuff because the rumor is I'm on the block..**

Summer came in with treemail, "Get through the course quick climb up and through, if you finish first you'll get something new. Hurry up and climb across, the winner gets some food to toss."

"Oh gosh, I'm so hungry, I'd love to win this," said Nancy.

-Challenge Field-
-Day 23-

The nine remaining contestants walked in and eye a huge obstacle course.

"Welcome Mantella to your first reward challenge as one tribe. You're competing for yourselves now. In this challenge you will need to start a fire with a magnifying glass, which will cut down a rope that will then drop a key. Use that key to open the door. Inside the door is a slanted poll, which you will have to pull yourself up.

On the other side of the pull is a pile of dirt. Dig into that dirt to get a knife. That knife will then cut down a rope, which will drop a flag. Bring that flag back to the beginning and you'll win."

The nine look over the course to make sure they understand.

"Want to know what you'll be playing for? You get some ice cold mountain dew, your favorite meal, and you'll get to take a shower."

The nine cheered and got ready.

The nine lined up.

"Survivor's Ready? GO!"

The nine ran to the magnifying glasses and started to try to find the light from the sun to reflect it on to the rope.

Nancy and Emily were having a difficult time.

Jake's started to burn.

"Jake's got a flame! So does CD."

Jake's snaps just as Summer gets a flame and Michael does to.

CD's rope snaps.

Jake and CD grab their keys and open the doors.

Jake starts to pull himself up the pole.

Michael and Summer burst through the doors.

Anna and Ashley's start to flame as well.

On the other side of the pole Jake and CD jump off.

Michael gets on the top of the pole as Summer falls off.

"Be careful when climbing the poles!" yelled Jeff.

Emily's torch starts to burn.

"Emily is on the board…"

CD and Jake continue to dig in the dirt with Michael close behind them.

"Jake and CD are almost done…"

Emily goes through the door. Ashley and Anna start to get to the top of the pole as Summer falls down again.

Jake grabs the knife in the dirt hill and races for the rope. He slices it down just as CD runs toward his rope. Jake grabs his flag and races toward the beginning.

Nancy is just getting her flame going and Anna just jumped off the pole.

Jake brings his torch to the beginning.

"This reward goes to Jake!" yells Jeff.

Jake cheers. The other eight come over.

"Jake as the winner of this challenge I'll let you bring someone else as well…" said Jeff.

"Anna."

"Anna and Jake head down that path their, the other seven time for you guys to go back to camp."

-Survivor Hideaway-
-Day 23-

Jake and Anna walk in and find a table sizzling with pasta, chicken, sea food, and mountain dew.

They go over to eat some of it and then sit down and talk.

"What are we doing about the vote this time? We are in control of the game right?" asked Jake.
"Well if one of us goes, you, me, Summer, and Michael we kind of fall apart don't we?" asks Anna.
"Well a lot of people want Michael out…" said Jake.
"Yea but.."
"I'm not sure I want to backstab other people for him…"

**Anna: It's like a life and death choice this round unless I can sway the others to vote for someone else instead of Michael.**

**Jake: Right now we're at a cross roads, Anna and me. Either vote off Michael like we promised Ashley and CD and Lindsey for voting john off, or go against that, save Michael and vote Emily off probably which would piss them off to no end.**

Anna and Jake each took showers.

**Jake: I love her she's so fun to hang with and not bad to look at. She's by far my best ally in the game and I think in a way me and her are tighter then CD and Lindsey cause we understand the strategy side more I believe where as they use their feelings more less.**

**Anna: Jake is someone I'm the closest with…**

The two headed back to camp.

-Mantella Camp-
-Day 24-

**Anna: This game has always been hard to play, but it just gets harder as we dwindle in numbers instead of grow.**

**Summer: Nope not hard…gotta keep playing**

**CD: I know who has to go and I will do what has to be done!**

The tribe waited around for tree mail that day.

Emily came in with the tree mail, "You've got to get the answer right, but your decision can come back and bite, make a choice and do so quickly, and three more days you'll see nearly."

"Hmm…" said Jake.

The nine walked to the challenge field.

-Challenge Field-
-Day 24-

The nine walked in, everyone smiled to eachother but secretly they all wanted to win.

They walked up to Jeff.

"Nancy, I'm going to have to take that back," said Jeff.

Nancy reluctantly gave it away.

Lindsey rolled her eyes.

"This challenge will test your friendships and who you favor more then others. You will be asked a question the first person to write it down and turn their pad around wins and gets to eliminate someone…but…"

The nine sighed.

"The person who gets out will also get to take someone out with them."

So lets get set up, the nine go up to nine podiums.

"Ok here we go…these questions are from the Survivor RPG series."

"Who was voted out first in Survivor RPG: The Tahiti Journey and with how many votes?" asked Jeff.

CD turns his pad around it read: Josh, 6.

"Who do you want out CD?"

"Um, lets go with Nancy," said CD.

"Nancy who do you want gone as well?"

"CD," said Nancy glaring at CD.

"CD and Nancy are out."

In
Summer
Anna
Ashley
Jake
Michael
Lindsey
Emily

"Next question, with how many votes did Tatiana beat James with in the final vote?"

Anna turned hers around: 5

"Anna you got it."

"Um, I did this at random…sorry Ashley."

"And Ashley who do you want out with you?"

"Michael," said Ashley.

"Michael and Ashley go join Nancy and CD."

In
Summer
Anna
Jake
Lindsey
Emily

"Here is the next question… who received the most votes in Survivor RPG: The Amazon Adventure?"

Jake turned his pad around first: James

"Jake you got it, who do you want out?"

"Gotta cut Emily out."

"And Emily you?"

"Anna…"

Anna and Emily walk over to the other four.

In
Summer
Jake
Lindsey

"All right three left, the first person to answer three questions wins, time to shake things up with a question from Survivor Thailand. Who and what age are the Survivor: Thailand?"

Jake turned it around with all the Survivor Thailand contestants and their names.

"Good job, Jake has one point. Next which contestant in Survivor RPG1 was the youngest?"

Jake turned his around: Devon

"That is two for Jake, what is the merged tribe colors for RPG 1 and 2?"

Each person looked and thought for a second.

"Orange and black, Jake you have won immunity!"

"Yea!"

Jake walked over to Jeff and got the immunity necklace placed around his neck.

"Jake you are safe tonight and so is Ashley because of her prize from the last immunity challenge. Good luck."

The nine walk off.

-Mantella Camp-
-Day 24-

"Jake, Anna come here now…" said CD.

The two walk over to the camp where Ashley and Lindsey are already sitting.

"So whats up? Tribal council is tonight and I have no idea what's going to happen are we going to decide now?
"Yes," said Ashley.
"CD who do you think we should vote for tonight?" asked Jake, "Ashley I here you don't want Summer?"
"I don't know I kind of like the girl…" said Ashley.
"I'm thinking Summer," said CD.
"What about Michael?" said Lindsey. Anna's face tensed up.
"Plus Summer is Nancy's left nut, she is containable…" said Jake.
They laughed.
"Just them I think,…" said Jake.
"I think Michael is our only option," said CD.
"I'd rather get rid of someone annoying,…" said Anna.
"We had a deal…John leaves then Michael…" said CD.
"I guess we'll see what happens," said Jake.

**Summer: A certain person needs to go**

**Anna: My current alliance is two sided.  One with Jake Michael and Summer and then one with CD, Lindsey and Ashley, which to choose and which to kill is going to be the hardest part.**

**Jake: Anna and Summer are the only ones I'd never considering voting out right now. I won't vote ash or Linz out either. I don't wanna vote CD out but if we had to go for one of the three it probably be him.**

**CD: I like Michael but...He may be the one to at Tribal Council...I am actually working up a strategy to keep him in and vote someone else out...but I don't think it will happen.**

**Emily: I'm trusting one person less and less**

**Lindsey: I'm not that sure we are voting for but we have to give CD some credit, he has made his own in this game…and no one is like him or can be like him…this is his game…**

**Michael: I'm on the block and the only way off is Anna and Jake**

**Ashley: Michael is going…oh well**

**Nancy: Michael has just become this quiet guy so if we keep him around he is definitely going to show up and win this game. That's why I want him gone**

Emily ran up to Michael right before they went to tribal council.

"Michael, I don't know what is going on, I can't trust CD and Lindsey they all want you out!" said Emily.
"Join me with Anna and Jake…" said Michael.
"Ok, I don't want to get caught switching sides and stuff…"
"Don't worry your safe."

**Emily: I have made a deal with CD but then called it off. Now I am with Michael…oh well final four final nine what the difference…don't be mad CD**

The nine walked to tribal council.

-Tribal Council 8-
-Day 24-

The remaining nine walk into tribal Council

"Welcome Mantella tribe, as you know their will be a total of three immunities this tribal council, Michael how does that make you feel?"

"It makes me feel a little nervous!" Michael laughs. "But if it is my time to go I will walk up with my head held high all these people are great."

"I hate this tribal council…" said Jake.
"Ok Jake," said Jeff suddenly turning to Jake, "Lets speak to the opposite side of the immunity...Jake how does it feel to you that only 6 people have a chance be voted out?"

"Unique to say the very least. More of a narrowed field to chose from but still its never easy. This is by far the hardest tribal council I've been faced with so far."

"CD, has this been a hard decision for you as well?" asked Jeff.
"It has...but my mind has like gone through all the processes so many times that friends have had to make me stop thinking and tell me what needs to be done, but as much as I hate to make this vote tonight...I know it has to be done in order to progress further in the game," said CD.

"Anna as the playing field becomes even more narrow how much harder will it be to see people go...?"

"It only gets harder as the days pass, this tribal council was the hardest to vote for because I don't want to see anyone go, it's where trust really comes in and steps up, you have to trust the people you are playing with and yet you have to watch your back because you don't know if you will be stabbed, but yeah I don't want to vote, I hate voting, its the worst part, and this is a really hard vote."

"Ok, as we all know the spider ring votes have changed...whoever gets it will not only not be able to vote but also be immune, please write your votes."

Jeff went by and collects their votes.
"3 different people have gotten votes, Nancy one, Emily 3 and Ashley you cannot vote.…everyone its time to vote, only two people will have immunity this round, not three. Jake your up first."

Jake voted.

Anna voted next.

Followed by Emily, "CD; I want you to know that I love you like a brother, but CD... I'm sorry."

Emily walked back.

Michael voted next.

Followed by Nancy, "Sorry Michael."

Summer voted next.

After Summer CD voted.

After CD, Lindsey voted.

Lindsey came back and sat down, "I'll go tally the votes," said Jeff.

Jeff walks back, "The person voted out will have to leave tribal council immediately, the person has been voted out of the tribe and has become our first jury member, I'll read the votes."

"Michael."

"Second vote…CD."

"Third vote…Emily. One for CD, Michael and Emily."

"Emily."

"Emily."

"Emily."

"With the majority…Emily."

"No!" said Nancy.

"Sorry em…" said some. Emily got up.

"Bye Emily," said Michael.

"Emily please bring me your torch…" said Jeff.

"Group hug," says Emily.

The girls and a few others hug.

Emily walks over to Jeff.

"Emily, the tribe has spoken," said Jeff as he snuffed her torch.

Emily walks off.

"This has been a tough tribal council…the hardest…" said Nancy.

"Well another person leaves, you need to deal with the consequences…speaking of consequences. Lindsey I need you to pick a number one through four…someone gets to visit the camp depending on your number. Either Jessica from Survivor RPG1, James from Survivor RPG1, Snake from Survivor RPG2, or Garret, from your season. I need the choice now."

"3."

Tribal Council 8
Immune: Jake
Spider Ring: Ashley
X Emily: CD, Lindsey, Jake, Anna, Summer, Michael
CD: Emily
Michael: Nancy

Emily's Final Words
Oh my God I miss you guys already! To be honest I will miss all those times when I made choices. Since day one I had all my cards on the table and if at times I betrayed anyone trust I am sorry. I want to thank all those watching my back until the end, and to those who I felt really really close to. I played the best I could, and I never thought I could go to the jury. Just reminder this never say never, choose your fate ... or others will choose it for you, and theirs always hope... Even for people like us.
Keep your heads up ya here!
Peace

Next Time on Survivor

A choice has been made…Lindsey has chosen.

"3!"

Someone is coming to stay…

"Hey guys can't believe I'm back!"

But that's not the end of this twisted episode.

**Michael: I'm still in because of my plan.**

But the tribal council will make some people get pretty angry after an accident causes vote possessions to change.

"This is so unfair, I want something done about this or I'm gone…"

Check it all out on one of the biggest episodes! Survivor RPG3!
