DAY 25
Karn (to camera): Well, so much for my alphabetical voting system. I fed Deuce to that alliance. I feel bad about that... but what’s done is done. I need to keep thinking about what I can do to win this thing.
Ivy (to camera): This whole thing is stupid. I can’t quit the alliance now, because I’d be their first target... but I’m not playing it right if I stay in it. I never should’ve joined.
Alucard (to camera): Weee, alliance, fun! I’m gonna win! Coooool.
Enigma (to camera): Things are going great. I’m kind of hungry, kind of tired... but it’ll be worth it when I win.
Ditzyhick (to camera): There’s no doubt in my mind that there’s an alliance. The question now is whether or not it’s too late to do something about it.
Merlin: The people who might be a swing vote are Ivy and Karn...
MrDude: Right. Ivy’s questioning her place in the alliance, I can tell. And Karn... well, he’s not too bright if he thinks this thing is about not hurting people’s feelings.
Merlin: Yep. Maybe we can convince him he should be on our side.

DAY 26
Merlin: Mail’s here. It says:
“Another chance at the letters
Is coming up soon.
Wish Ditzyhick luck
Or she may swoon.”
Ivy: Is it just me, or are these rhymes getting worse?
MrDude: It’s not you. Hey... listen...
Later on, in the woods, the site for the reward challenge
Johnny: Welcome, guys. Today’s reward challenge is something Alucard should enjoy.
Alucard: More climbing?
Johnny: More climbing.
Alucard: YESSS!!!
Johnny: All right, guys, here’s the scoop. You’re each given a number, 1 through 8, and then you have to climb the rope bridges we’ve made and collect your pendant. There are 10 pendants for each person. Here are your numbers: Karn is #1, Enigma is #2, Ivy is #3, Robo-Blonde is #4, Alucard is #5, Ditzyhick is #6, Merlin is #7, and MrDude is #8. Survivors ready? Begin!
The race starts with Ditzyhick (who really wants to win this one), Merlin, Enigma, and Alucard in front of the rest. Enigma is accidentally kicked in the head by Ivy (don’t worry -- they’re barefoot), slowing her down. Ditzyhick slips. Alucard desperately tries to remember what his number was. That leaves Merlin as the winner.
Johnny: Well, congratulations, Merlin! This was a big win for you. Not only do you get to read your letter from home, but you get to enjoy a barbecue for dinner.
Merlin: All riiiiiight!
Johnny: Oh, yeah, one more thing... you can pick one other person to accompany you to the barbecue and read their letter from home.
Merlin: Okay. Ditzyhick, you know it’s you!
Ditzyhick: Yes! You’re the greatest!
At the barbecue, Ditzyhick cries when she reads her letter, they both love the food, and they talk about the Gamtro alliance. Then it’s time to head back to the beach.

DAY 24
Merlin: We have mail.
Ivy: Here, let’s see...
“For most challenges,
Your muscles will drain.
But for this one
You’ll be using your brain.
Ditzyhick: Cool.
At the spot for the challenge, where a giant Survival logo is painted onto square pieces of wood...
Johnny: All right, guys. This challenge is like a big board game.
Alucard: Is it Clue?
Johnny: No. Each of you will stand on a marked spot - there are 8 of them - and one at a time, you’ll move to an adjacent square and flip over the one you were just on. You’re out when you have no unflipped squares to move to. Everyone got it?
Alucard: No...
Johnny: Good. Go stand on a marked square.
This is how it went...

Alucard = A
Ditzyhick = D
Enigma = E
Karn = K
Ivy = I
Merlin = M
MrDude = U
Robo-Blonde = R
Unflipped square = O
Flipped square = X

At Clan Council, that night...
Johnny: Well guys, congratulations on making it this far, but one of you has to go tonight. Before we vote, I’d like to ask a few questions. What’s this I hear about an alphabetical voting strategy, Karn?
Karn: I just don’t want to offend anyone...
Johnny: Well, I’m sure Deuce felt a little offended when he was voted off.
Karn: You’re right, and I feel really bad. But it’s a self-preservation move, so I’m sticking with it until there are fewer people. If I’m gone by then, so be it.
Enigma: Maybe you should just get a backbone, you wimp!
Karn: Lay off me, okay?
Enigma: Not ‘til you get some guts.
Karn: ...
Enigma: What’s the matter, wuss? Cat got your tongue?
Karn: You know what? You’re right. I guess I’ll abandon my alphabet strategy. But it’ll be like I didn’t, because tonight, I’m voting for YOU. I’ll show you a backbone!
Enigma gasps. Alucard let’s out his best Homer Simpson “d’oh!” But the damage is done.
Johnny: All right guys. Let’s vote.
The final 8 survivors vote and then come back out.
Johnny: Okay. Remember that when the votes are counted, the decision is final and the person voted off must leave immediately. I’ll tally the votes. First vote- Merlin. Next vote- Merlin. Next vote- Merlin. Next vote- Enigma. Next vote- Enigma. Next vote- Enigma. That’s three for Merlin and three for Enigma. Next vote- Enigma. Last vote..... *He holds it up. It says “Enigma”.* Enigma. Enigma, you need to bring me your torch. *she brings him the torch, he puts it out* Your tribe has spoken. *she leaves* Well, I wish the rest of you luck. I’ll see you later. *leaves*

ENIGMA’S FINAL WORDS
Enigma: Well, everything was going just peachy, and then I opened my big mouth. It cost me the contest that I probably would have won otherwise. That’s just the way it goes. I hope everyone doesn’t hate me TOO much for doing what I had to.

VOTES
Enigma- Merlin, MrDude, Princess Ditzyhick, Karn_Evil_9, A.E. Ivy
Merlin- Enigma, Robo-Blonde, Alucard
