But now, the two clans have merged into one - Tarrano. The remaining contestants will have to fend for themselves as we discover who is the best at...

DAY 28
TARRANO
Robo-Blonde (to camera): This is not good. We had a chance at winning everything, and Enigma was at the core of it. But with her gone, I don’t know what to do.
Robo-Blonde: So are you still in the alliance?
Ivy: Don’t pull that on me. There is no alliance. I’m voting the way I feel from here on. I’m staying true to myself.
Robo-Blonde: .....fine. Sorry I brought it up.
Alucard (to camera): Win, lose... who cares? Heh heh... but I’ll care if I wiiiin!
Alucard: So do we have an alliance or what?
Robo-Blonde: You and me, sure. Ivy, no. I’ll talk to Karn later.
Alucard: You do that.
Ivy (to camera): I’m glad I voted the way I did. I’ve really felt powerless to stop the alliance, but I think from now on the tables will turn...
Merlin: So what do you think?
MrDude: About what?
Merlin: You think either of us have even a shot at winning?
MrDude: Nah. But hey, we did our best.
Merlin: Right. And we sure went down fighting...
MrDude: Heh heh. Did you see Enigma’s face when she realized she’d been voted off?
Merlin: Yeah, it was a Kodak moment.

DAY 29
Robo-Blonde: So I’m really hoping that you join us and get the best shot at making it far.
Karn: I told Ivy before when she approached me about the same thing. I’m not joining any alliance. I’m just going to continue with my alphabetical voting strategy. It’s gotten me this far.
Robo-Blonde: Good to know...
Ditzyhick: *walks up* Hey guys, here’s today’s mail:
“Keep your balance
First of all,
And you might win
Instead of fall.”
Robo-Blonde: Okay. I’ll see you guys there. *leaves*
Ditzyhick: Not to be nosy, but what were you talking about?
Karn: Nothing important... she just wanted me to join her little alliance.
Ditzyhick: And did you?
Karn: Of course not.
Ditzyhick: That’s comforting.
Later on, at the reward challenge site on the beach...
Johnny: Welcome, you seven survivors. This late in the game, the reward challenges really start to mean a lot. Now, we know you guys are hungry and missing your families, so the winner of this challenge will have their very own personal slice of Jet’s Pizza as well as a phone call across the world to a family member back home. Sound good? All right. See the platforms over there?
There are indeed platforms built out of the ocean not far from shore. Each platform toward the beach is smaller and they are connected to each other by thin poles - from the first platform to the second, 7 poles, from the second to the third, 4 poles, and from the third to the last, 2 poles.
Johnny: This challenge is all about balance and speed. You guys will have to balance on these poles and make it to each next platform fast enough to beat out the others that there’s not enough room for in the next legs of the race. All right guys, get out to your platforms.
In the first part of the race, Merlin speeds right across, Ditzyhick is right on his heels, Ivy slips and plunges into the water, and Robo-Blonde and Karn edge out Alucard and MrDude. In the next part, Merlin speeds across again, Ditzyhick falls in, and Robo-Blonde comes in just ahead of Karn. Finally, it’s Robo-Blonde against Merlin. Merlin speeds across one last time and wins the challenge. Johnny hands him the phone.
Johnny: Good job, Merlin. I’ve already got your mom on the phone here for you.
Merlin: Okay, thanks. Hi mom. Yeah... yeah... no, I’m okay... really... yes, we have enough food... All right. Bye mom.
Johnny: Riiiiight... and, here’s your pizza.
Merlin: ALL RIGHT! PIZZA!
He is about to dig in but then notices the six other hungry people.
Merlin: Oh, sorry guys. Here, each of you can have a bite. *he gives everyone a bite and they all express their gratitude* Thanks Johnny.

DAY 30
MrDude: Well, this is it.
Ditzyhick: Yeah. One of us is leaving tonight.
Karn: I hope it’s not me...
Merlin: It could be any of us.
Ivy: ...but not the person who wins immunity.
Robo-Blonde: Yes. And speaking of which...
Alucard: I have the immunity challenge thingie right here! Let’s see, uh...
“Nine fires have already gone out,
But you seven tried harder.
To win immunity you’ll have to be
A fire-starter.”
Ivy: Hey, that was actually kind of clever.
MrDude: I guess...
Later on, at the spot for the immunity challenge
Johnny: Well guys, welcome to the beach. The first part of this challenge will be to gather firewood. When you think you have enough, you can proceed. Each of you has a torch, unlit, in front of you. The point of this immunity challenge is to get out to the fire that we’ve placed in a pot out on the water, light the torch, and come back and build a fire in order to burn the rope above your firewood pile, therefore lifting a victory flag before everyone else and winning immunity. Got it?
All: No...
Johnny: *sigh* Get wood. Make fire.
All: Ohhh!
The challenge begins. Once they all gather enough firewood and put it in their appropriate piles, they start out into the water. Merlin learns that you can’t keep your fire lit while holding it underwater. MrDude spends too much time gathering firewood. Robo-Blonde spends too much time tidying up her pile of firewood. Alucard forgets what he was doing and quits. Karn decides to go for a swim instead of light his torch. Ditzyhick cramps up and takes a break. That leaves Ivy as the winner (since she was the only one listening to Johnny anyway).
Johnny: Um, congratulations Ivy. *slips the Can’t Get Kicked Off Talisman over Ivy’s head* I’ll see you guys at Clan Council tonight.

That night, at Clan Council
Johnny: Welcome, survivors, to your tenth Clan Council. Here you’ll be deciding who is to be the next one off of Survival Island and to be made the next member of the final Clan Council. Let’s bring out the council as it is... (Deuce and Enigma walk out, looking clean and full) Now remember, these guys are only here to observe, not to be a part of the council. Now, is anyone besides Ivy feeling immune tonight? (no one says anything) All right then. Let’s just go ahead and vote.
In the voting booth...
Ditzyhick: *writes “Alucard” and holds it up* I’m voting on my own here and all I can hope is that enough people vote the same way. I don’t have anything against him, except that if there’s an alliance, he’s probably in it.
Ivy: *writes “Merlin” and holds it up* Merlin has stayed out of the way for the most part, but he and MrDude haven’t really been doing their share of the work. So I’m voting for him.
Karn: *writes “Merlin” and holds it up* Merlin is next in line in my alphabetical voting strategy, since Ivy won immunity. It’s just a matter of self-preservation.
Back outside
Johnny: All right guys, this is it. Remember that once the votes are counted, the decision is final, and the person voted off must leave immediately, or they will be shot. Just kidding. The first vote is for... *reaches into the pot slowly and dramatically* Merlin. Next vote... *grabs a vote and opens it slowly* Merlin. Next vote... *peeks at the vote before showing it to everyone else* Karn. Next voooote......
All: GET ON WITH IT!!
Johnny: Yeesh, okay, okay! Next vote is for Karn. That’s two for Karn and two for Merlin. Next vote, Alucard. Next vote, Merlin. Next vote... Merlin. Merlin, you need to bring me your torch.
Merlin: Aw, bummer... *watches as his torch is put out* Bye guys.
Johnny: Your tribe has spoken. You need to go. *Merlin leaves, and a ‘zzzzip’ sound is heard in the woods, followed by a trickling sound*
Johnny: That’s not what I meant!!! Anyway, I’ll see you guys later. *runs off into the woods*

MERLIN’S FINAL WORDS
Merlin: Well, I guess I saw it coming. It was a lot of fun being here and I think it’s great that I stayed as long as I did. I hope the best person wins. Bye everyone.
