EPISODE 12
SURVIVOR HOLIDAYS
VALENTINES DAY
PART ONE

DAY 34
ANNETTE shares her thoughts on the tc the night before

Well, going home last night was going to be either be me or Steve. Dear God, thank you for not letting it be me!! I'm completely more deserving than him - I talk to everyone, he didn’t. I try harder at challenges - I actually show up to tribal councils. I lost count at how many tribal councils he's pre-voted for! I'll be happy leaving after this - as long as I know I beat Steve.
Then the camera shows Gracie speaking about Tribal last night

Last night Steve was voted out. I'm relieved. On many different levels. He was starting to creep me out a little bit. I consider myself to be a normal, caring person. But sheeeeeeesh ... I can't solve or know his life problems. And sad to say, I was starting to avoid him.

I'm also relieved that Annette wasn't voted out. I like Annette. And she definitely deserves to be here over Steve.

What WAS with Steve's cockiness all of a sudden? Everyone noticed it.

Annette is supposed to be voted out next. I’m not sure how I feel about that. I had to promise to vote her out next in order to vote Steve out this time. Yeah .. I know, eventually they all have to go. I'm not sure who will win immunity this time. Annette and I finished almost at the same time. It could be a matter of who posted first. The thing is .. we helped each other. I'd never have gotten the Russian bride question without her help. So I'm very ambivalent about this vote.

*grin* Call me Sandra though .. as long as it ain't me.

Rob walked up to where everyone was sitting and eating breakfast. He said “OK, we are down to our last six days and I am sure as you look around you wonder how we are going to get down to 2 by day thirty-nine. Well here is how. Starting today we will have a challenge a day and then a Tribal Council each night. So for the next five days someone will go home every night and we will be down to our final two. So immunity becomes even more important as we approach the end. I will read you the tree mail and immediately following that all of you will follow me to challenge beach.

"In every cranny and nook,
You must make sure you look.
Obvious some of them will be,
Others will take a sharp eye to see.
You definitely don't want to be last
So your eyes and fingers had best be fast."

[Host Rob]

As soon as he was done, the castaways stood up and followed him to the beach where Karen awaited.

Gracie: hey babe
Jenne: my luv!!!
Jenne: Taylor and i are basking in our glory!
Gracie: tell
Gracie: what glory?
Jenne: well my glory but I’m letting him think he played a part!
Gracie: lol
Gracie: tell me more
Jenne: nothing to exciting
Jenne: cept he wants mike gone at 4
Jenne: and said you did too
Gracie: I was asking Taylor if the 3 Tongans were voting out the okinawan at f4 .. 'cause I had no idea what his plans were
Jenne: that’s what he said
Jenne: i told him mike had told you that you were gone then so thats probally why you felt that
Gracie: yeah
Gracie: and since Taylor is gonna be gone some .. I thought I'd see what he was thinking
Jenne: i had talked to him before bout it
Gracie: you're so good
Jenne: mikey was a bigger challenge threat. don’t want to face him in the final challenge
Gracie: yeah
Gracie: what's your glory though?
Jenne: talking bout the Jamie vote
Jenne: that was the biggest vote this game
Gracie: most definitely
Gracie: that's 'cause you're smart
Jenne: sometimes
Gracie: A++++++++++++++++++
Jenne: don’t hold it against me
Gracie: *grin* I'd rather hold something else against you
Jenne: yourself?
Gracie: of course!
Jenne: dirty girl!
Gracie: but I have fun
Jenne: O:-)
Gracie: we rock, mah girl .. we simply rock
Jenne: lol, Taylor was lamenting earlier about how he didn’t want to have to argue against me in the final 2
Jenne: like if they ask "why should the person next to you not be here?"
Jenne: didn’t want to break the news that he wouldn’t have to
Gracie: LOL
Jenne: *giggles*
Gracie: you and are gonna be there . looking at the jury giggling too hard
Gracie: 'cause we know we played them all
Gracie: and controlled 'em all
Jenne: he is wondering who the villain of the season will be
Gracie: Jamie
Gracie: *giggle*
Gracie: Mitch
Jenne: he said "watch it be jenne the villain

www.mobilityfreedom.org/images/villain.gif


Gracie: icky awky Mitch
Gracie: nah Jenne's the sweetheart
Jenne: so i *lurked in a real creepy way*
Gracie: LOL
Jenne: i could be made to be a villain, with the right editing
Jenne: they would take out all the nice stuff i say and only put in all the logical analysis that make the players look like chess pieces rather than people
Gracie: in that regard - we both could
Jenne: but really thats a fraction of what i say
Gracie: *nods*
Jenne: i mostly gush bout how much i like these people
Gracie: lol .. you're the sweetheart
Gracie: I'll end up being the villain
Jenne: that would be unfair
Gracie: but
Gracie: on the other hand .. we don't know what the others have all been up to
Jenne: not much!
Jenne: we got them all to strategize with us, so we could control what they were up to
Gracie: *grin*
Gracie: do you find that as funny as I do?
Gracie: 'cause I find it humorous that we even controlled the votes on the boys tribe
Jenne: it wasn’t a coincidence that the 3 guys that never spoke to me left before the merge
Gracie: exactly
Gracie: and that Mitch went first
Jenne: and Mitch was way me
Jenne: oops!
Gracie: lol
Jenne: it was just wonderful having a solid group to depend on
Gracie: definitely
Jenne: having 3 others to trust absolutely was priceless
Gracie: I agree
Jenne: cause we were able to have clear views on both tribes
Gracie: and we could bounce ideas and strategy off each other without worrying
Jenne: which gave us the power and knowledge to manipulate with such great effect
Gracie:
Gracie: *happy dance*
Jenne: kept anyone from making an emotional decision
Gracie: yep
Jenne: if i didn’t have da gang, i would not be in the position im in. none of us would be
Jenne: so that rox
Jenne: and really the only thing that can save anyone now is immunity
Jenne: cause our 4 cant be broke
Gracie: exactly
Gracie: we're all tight
Gracie: and solid together
Jenne: like i cant help but having a lil fear that you guys might want me gone. cause i will be tough to beat in the f2
Jenne: but i kinda think you guys would rather lose to me then vote me out
Jenne: i could be way off
Jenne: but i just trust you guys
Jenne: i would rather lose to you then vote you out
Jenne: i know that
Gracie: I feel the same way
Gracie: because honestly
Gracie: you're the only other person in the game left who has worked hard and earned that f2 spot
Gracie: and I don't mind losing at all to you
Jenne: i think we both win
Gracie: I know your game for the most part and you've worked hard to get here
Gracie: sheeeeeesh .. what do to you say to that!
Gracie: *bangs head against brick wall*
Jenne: lmao
Gracie: my head hurts
Gracie: Mikey will go ballistic
Jenne: *nods*
Jenne: if mikey is immune then its easy to vote taylor out then
Jenne: *shrugs*
Gracie: lol .. GET OUT OF MY HEAD

[Host Rob]

About that time Taylor walks up to them.

Gracie: <--- is NOT a villian
Taylor: Jenne and I were just talking about who would be the villian
Jenne: *twists greasy mustache*
Gracie: LOL
Gracie: Mitch
Jenne: i'm making a last ditch effort
Taylor: I mean long term villian
Gracie: hmmm
Gracie: probably me
Jenne: i'm sure lucas wants that title
Taylor: Mitch, Lucas/Jamie, Lucas?
Gracie: then I happily give it to him
Jenne: i just dont think there has been one
Jenne: if there is its one of us
Jenne: but none of us are mean enough
Jenne: Lucas may be mean in confessionals
Jenne: and Mitch wasnt bad. i just crucified him
Gracie: I have no idea what his confessionals are like
Taylor: I haven't left enough confessionals to be one
Jenne: he is nice bout us 3 and jamie
Jenne: bet he reams everyone else
Taylor: I only do one an episode
Gracie: I try to do one per day
Taylor: go Gracie
Jenne: i do one every two votes
Taylor: is it just me , or has it gotten boring lately
Jenne: well not much left to do now
Jenne: not too many people to manipulate and/or control
Jenne: left
Taylor: true
Gracie: helllllllllp I'm feeling controlled *giggle*
Jenne: *pins Gracie down*
Gracie: woot!
Jenne: winks
Gracie: just what I've been waiting for!
Taylor: I'm sure
Gracie: hey
Taylor: kidding
Taylor: Kyle wants to talk about what happens with the Lucas vote at the final five
Gracie: 1) depends on immunity; 2) lie to him
Taylor: He goes we know
Taylor: but what do I say
Taylor: because he doesn't want to vote for the three of us
Gracie: he votes for Lucas
Taylor: can I vote for Lucas that night
Taylor: I would like to keep my promise to Kyle that i wouldn't vote for him
Jenne: *coughs*trolling for his vote *coughs*
Gracie: just be prepared -in that case- for Lucas to come after you HARD
Taylor: why?
Jenne: Taylor i dont want to vote for Kyle either
Taylor: I mean I've talked to Lucas about it in the past
Jenne: but come on!
Gracie: Lucas will be PISSED
Taylor: you three vote for him
Jenne: can i not vote for ellie when we vote her off?
Jenne: NO
Taylor: KYLE
Taylor: not Lucas
Taylor: and Kyle and I vote for Lucas
Gracie: yes
Taylor: it's 3-2
Taylor: Kyle goes
Gracie: but Lucas will know you voted for him
Gracie: and he will be PISSED
Taylor: so
Taylor: it's the final 4
Jenne: Taylor i would say this, talk to Lucas bout it. let him decide
Jenne: if he says its ok, then vote for him
Jenne: if he doesn’t like it, then i wouldn’t do it
Taylor: why should I let someone else decide how I vote
Jenne: you don’t have to
Taylor: if that's not okay I'll vote for one of you
Jenne: so you wont mind if i vote for you instead of ellie then?
Taylor: as long as we have the votes to get rid of ellie
Jenne: i wouldnt do that though
Jenne: but you do whatever you want to do
Jenne: your vote, your choice
Taylor: I'm sorry if I sound rude
Taylor: but I mean maybe I'm not getting the big picture
Gracie: well .. another way to look at it
Gracie: by voting Lucas instead Kyle
Gracie: you may gain Kyle’s vote
Jenne: its just none of us want to vote Kyle off. its not fair you get to not do the dirty work and we do
Gracie: but you lose lucas'
Taylor: Lucas would vote for you two anyway
Taylor: Jenne I made a bond with kyle the first day
Taylor: and I promised not to vote for him
Taylor: I would if we didn't have the votes to take him out
Taylor: but we do
Taylor: I'm fine with you voting for me if we have to votes to take ellie out that tc
Jenne: seriously taylor, you do whatever you want. it wont matter. but it does bother me a little
Jenne: i dont like doing the dirty work
Taylor: I don't either
Jenne: and i think its kinda a cop out for you to do it
Jenne: but i understand why
Jenne: so im not gonna stop you or tell you not to
Taylor: how is it a cop out to honor a promise?
Gracie: how many other promises have you made though?
Taylor: umm one to the three of you
Taylor: and kyler
Taylor: kyle*
Taylor: tony would have to be the only person that I sort of backstabbed but it was him or mike
Taylor: hello?
Jenne: i wish i didnt have to vote for kyle but i do. i dont want to vote for ellie but i will. i dont want to vote for mikey but i will. thats this game. i respect your decision to honor your bond with kyle
Gracie: just thinking about the possibilities
Jenne: just sux i cant do it too
Taylor: I'll vote for kyle If it's going to cause this much trouble
Gracie: I'm not gonna tell you what to do.
Taylor: I don't want to cause an uproar
Jenne: taylor honestly i wont be mad
Jenne: do what you need to to keep your heart pure
Jenne: i can not fault you for that
Jenne: cause i totally understand the sentiment
Gracie: I understand why you want to do that
Taylor: but If I do vote kyle I think we owe it to the guy whose basically given us the game to same " Hey we hate to do this, but it's you tonight"
Taylor: to say*
Jenne: i adore kyle,. i want his friendship after this game
Gracie: *nods*
Jenne: i wouldnt mind being honest
Gracie: he would deserve to know
Jenne: do we tell him we all know each other?
Taylor: he's catching onto that
Jenne: cause i dont think our previous relationships or true identities should be broken until after the final TC
Taylor: I agree
Gracie: I'm with Jenne
Taylor: I think we need to keep it a secert
Gracie: I don't plan on revealing myself at final tc
Taylor: let's not pull a bella
Jenne: it will make people lose respect for our game if they knew
Gracie: yes
Jenne: afterwards it wont matter
Taylor: I've shortened Isabella's nick names
Taylor: to
Taylor: to just
Taylor: bitcha
Gracie: LOL
Jenne: i liked whora but that works too
Taylor: well if everything goes right
Taylor: one of us in this room will be able to do what she hasn't
Jenne: *snickers*
Gracie: *giggles*
Jenne: and that person is...................
Taylor: *laughs evily*
Taylor: who knows
Gracie: the robot in the corner?
Jenne: silly robat. survivor is for humans
Taylor: lol
Gracie: *pulls the plugs on the robot*
Jenne: ok kiddies i need to go hang wit da fam
Jenne: been a thrill
Jenne: :-P
Jenne: so annette tonite, ellie tomorrow night and kyle the next night
See you peeps soon.

Jenne: i think people are bored
Lucas: not me.
Lucas: I keep thinking through all the options
Jenne: what have you been thinking?
Lucas: pros and cons of everyone outside our four
Jenne: conclusions?
Lucas: I want Annette gone first.
Jenne: agreed
Jenne: then kyle
Jenne: ellie is safest challenge wise
Jenne: cause the only thing standing in our f4 plans is someone winning immun at f5
Jenne: that would suck butt
Lucas: totally agree
Lucas: but we have to be ready for a run
Jenne: i hate the thought of it
Jenne: why i wanted annette gone last time
Jenne: she is the biggest threat
Jenne: you and gracie are hard to beat
Lucas: I was thinking ahead. I didn't want Steve getting to Kyle
Jenne: wouldnt have matttered
Jenne: but kyle was happy to vote him off
Lucas: I know
Lucas: no biggie
Lucas: I sucked up to Annette last vote
Lucas: ;-)
Jenne: while she passed her vote for you onto steve
Jenne: *barf*
Lucas: I don't think she dislikes me, per se
Lucas: just that she thinks I'm a target
Jenne: well you are the biggest challenge threat in this game
Jenne: no question
Jenne: taylor has been wondering who the villain will be
Jenne: thats been his kick all day
Lucas: 3/5....yeah maybe :-P
Lucas: at this point?
Lucas: hmmmmmmmmmmm
Lucas: me or....Jenne =-O
Jenne: ME?
Jenne: well i never!
Lucas: I think you might become one
Lucas: you have quite the killer streak now
Jenne: lmao
Jenne: i 'm so vicious
Jenne: i could be made into a villain but it would require editing a lot of jenne out
Lucas: part of it also depends on the audience
Jenne: cause i may discuss voting people out w/o emotion but i always have confessionals where i say what i really want to, to everyone
Jenne: basically saying "i adore you but you are in the way of me winning :-P"
Lucas: I vent everything in confessional
Jenne: me too
Jenne: its hard to think though, cause i try not to think bout it, but at the f4
Jenne: someone goes. and then f3 and all that
Jenne: i've just avoided thinking bout it
Jenne: i once thought bout voting for myself then rather than for one of you guys
Lucas: could happen sooner
Jenne: what?
Lucas: at final five

[Host Rob]

Gracie finds Lucas sitting by the pool

Gracie: hey there
Lucas: aloha
Gracie: how are ya?
Lucas: fine, fine
Gracie: yay
Gracie: Mr. Immunity
Lucas: smiles
Gracie: lol
Lucas: I've been mulling giving it to someone else
Gracie: who do you want to give it to?
Lucas: Ellie, if she askes me for it. Taylor. even Kyle.
Gracie: lol
Gracie: no Gracie or Jenne?
Lucas: if I cam justify it to the mob
Gracie: lol .. you can do whatever you'd like
Gracie: question for ya
Gracie: and feel free to answer or not
Gracie: who do you want to face in the f2?
Lucas: yes yes<BR
Lucas: I haven't decided
Gracie: yeah .. I know the feeling
Lucas: I keep going between the four of you
Gracie: 4?
Lucas: bleh
Lucas: the four of us
Gracie: lol .. ah
Lucas: also, I can't rule out Ellie or Kyle until they're gone...they could very well colby it to the finals
Gracie: ah
Gracie: I just hope to not have a repeat of IS
Lucas: not if i can help it
Gracie: I'd have a nervous breakdown
Lucas: I know
Gracie: *smiles prettily*
Lucas: maybe we can just draw lots :-P
Gracie: LOL
Gracie: you want a purple rock?
Lucas: uh...no...lol...just the four of us draw lots and let that decide who goes :-P
Gracie: lol .. that makes more sense
Lucas: I thought so...lol
Gracie: I can't imagine that any of us would want to face a purple rock
Lucas: might come to that...you never know
Gracie: true enough
Gracie: lol ... good thing I like purple :-P
Lucas: its so becoming on you
Gracie: LOL
Lucas: so is everybody (outside our four) wanting me gone now?
Gracie: I have totally no clue what Ellie is thinking
Gracie: and you and Kyle have been circling each other for days
Gracie: I don't think he's figured out yet that the 4 of us are solid with each other
Lucas: sounds right
Kyle:
The dynamics of this game never cease to amaze me. I had been so nervous about last nights tribal council since before the last one even. I was just so afraid that Lucas would try to swing a tie. Well, first thing when I logged in Gracie and Jenne both messaged me about a change of plans and to see if I would be ok with it. More than ok! I loved the plan! Not that I disliked Steve at all, but that he had started to go nutso which seems to be a trend since the merge started. Someone goes all crazy and then wind up gettin the boot. He did go crazy lying to everyone and playing so scattered. Why come this far to just unravel? It is beyond me. He spent the whole day and throughout tribal council thinking Annette was going and I just nodded and went along with him. I hate it that he had to be blindsided, but he did bring it upon himself.

So....now Jenne, Gracie, Taylor and I have the clear majority. I just have to see if the other 3 want to go after Lucas the first chance we get. If we are all final 5 and Lucas wins immunity...I can't in good conscience vote for any of the other 3 over him. There's no way I can. We'll just have to see though. I have a feeling that from now on Lucas is going to bust his butt for the challenges. If I had my way, Annette would go next and then Lucas. Ellie is not the biggest challenge threat so I think it would be safe to keep her along.
Kyle walks over to Jenne’s hut
Kyle: so i guess no one likes my lucas and the final 5 idea
Jenne: lol, whats the idea and who is it that doesnt like it?
Kyle: well not so much as an idea but a....what do we do if....
Jenne: if he wins immun?
Kyle: yeah
Jenne: vote me off?
Kyle: i cannot....and i'm probably getting myself in trouble saying this....in good conscience vote any one of the three of you over lucas
Kyle: i cannot
Jenne: so whats your idea then genious?
Jenne: gonna vote for yourself?
Jenne: :-P
Kyle: i'm just saying....why does he have to be in the five
Jenne: ok, now i see where you were going
Jenne: i was seeing a dead end
Jenne: <----ditz
Kyle: naaaa
Jenne: i have the same reservations as you bout letting lucas thru so long cause he is so good in challenges
Jenne: but i have been alligned with him as long as i have with you
Jenne: and he has never broken that
Kyle: not to you
Kyle: it so easy for all 3 of you to say that
Jenne: you and him have never gotten along
Jenne: i know
Jenne: i just hate being put in the middle of it. i dont want to break a deal i made and kept for so long. i'd feel bad
Kyle: no we've always gotten along
Kyle: i've just never trusted him....for the simple fact of what he did to me
Kyle: and i stood up for him 3 TC's in a row
Jenne: his relationship with jamie is the only reason you guys ended up like you have
Jenne: i am glad she went when she did
Kyle: me too....
Kyle: me TOO
Jenne: i feel conflicted.
Kyle: i'm not trying to stir up trouble here
Jenne: suicide in this game eh
Kyle: i promise
Jenne: its just hard at this point. we've all been in this game for so long together. every vote from here on out is gonna hurt
Jenne: <----not cut out for this part
Jenne: as you know i wanted to vote annette off next
Kyle: i know
Jenne: it just irked me she tried passing her rogue vote on steve
Jenne: that was super shady to me
Jenne: i mean i know i wanted to vote her off, but i never lied to her!
Kyle: do you know why i'm the big target over there?
Kyle: i mean why did ellie and kelley vote for me again?
Jenne: over where?
Jenne: i am not sure. but the only thing i could come up with is i had told ellie you and steve were like me and her
Jenne: so maybe she felt threatened by steve's ties to you
Jenne: *shrugs* not really sure though
Jenne: but i asked her after if it was her, and she told me it was
Kyle: well...i guess she's made it no secret that she doesn't trust me
Kyle: how ironic....i'm the one that wants her to go finall 5....lol
Jenne: yah but only cause she is a non-threat in the challenge!
Kyle: *shrug*
Kyle: it keeps her in the game longer
Kyle: lol
Jenne: well you know i adore ellie
Kyle: i know you do
Jenne: but i adore all you guys
Jenne: you want lucas gone tomorrow or thurs?
Kyle: it's not that i want him gone so much as i don't want to have to vote for one of the 3 of you over him should he win immunity
Jenne: not a choice i want to make, i agree
Kyle: but i can just go with the flow
Jenne: gracie has the best shot of beating him. she's good
Kyle: i don't want to stir trouble and cause people to get mad at me
Jenne: im no good at em
Jenne: i just hate how alliances never make it to the end. people always turn on one another and someone else sneaks by
Jenne: i like how solid we have been. granted there has been some trouble spots. but for the most part the five of us got one another thru this game
Jenne: and i hate the idea of dumping someone off early
Kyle: yeah
Jenne: doesnt feel fair
Kyle: i guess i just have my feelings on my sleeve
Kyle: i won't ask anyone about it again

ANNETTE: I think I kinda know who I want to vote for now.
Jenne: who?
ANNETTE: Kyle.
Jenne: i WAS thinking lucas. thats out the window!
Jenne: lol
Jenne: kyle works too though
ANNETTE: Mainly because he's tough - he proved that with this challenge.
ANNETTE: It's eventually going to come down to 4 girls and 1 guy - and I'll be damned if that guy wins immunity and we need to vote a girl out.
Jenne: agreed
Jenne: immunity threats
ANNETTE: As bad or mean as it sounds, I don't really fear a challenge from Taylor as much as Lucas or Kyle.
Jenne: lmao
Jenne: *snickers*
Jenne: lucas could win himself into the f2
Jenne: he has shown that
ANNETTE: Like you, before I seen who won, Lucas was my pick - he's a tough competitor.
Jenne: how many is that for him now?
ANNETTE: Wins? Sheesh, I've lost track!
Jenne: the first one of the game
Jenne: the name the tribe one
Jenne: this one
Jenne: and the word one
ANNETTE: He won #8, #11 & #12.
Jenne: indiv immun has only been you, me, or him so far?
ANNETTE: Yep, he's won 60% of the individual immunities.
ANNETTE: Maybe we should start calling him Colby.
Jenne: not cute enough!
Jenne: ouch!
Jenne: i didnt say that
ANNETTE: lol!

Finally night fell and the tribe made their way into the council area.

Karen: hello everyone
Ellie: Hello
Lucas: *waves*
Gracie: Hello
Kyle: hi everyone
ANNETTE: Hi all
Karen: *TRIBAL COUNCIL BEGINS NOW*
Karen: And here enters our jury…<br>Karen: Kelley and Steve quietly walk in and take their seats in the jury area.
Karen: Welcome Tribe Orleans to tribal council #12.
Karen: Unfortunately one of you will be leaving the game tonight and taking the 3rd spot on the jury.
Karen: As always, I will begin by asking you each a question. When you are finished with your response, please say "done" so I know you are finished.
Karen: Kyle...
Karen: Seated across from you are Kelley and Steve, two people you either indirectly or directly helped vote out.
Karen: How difficult is it knowing that eventually they will have the power at the Final Tribal Council? What are your feelings regarding this?
Kyle: well...it will be really difficult seeing how I was friends with one of them. Kelley I didn't talk a great deal with, but Steve was a pal. But unfornutely that's what happens when you get to this point of the game
Kyle: done
Karen: thanks kyle
Karen: Ellie...
Karen: What are your thoughts on your position in the game? Do you think you have secured your position to stay in it until the finals?
Ellie: In my experience, Karen, the minute you start to think that far ahead is the minute you get blindsided. I try not to look that far in advanced. That's not to say I never consider the long-run but right now, I'm more focused on this
Ellie: moment in the game. I think I have a good positon but that good change in an instant. You never really know what's going to happen and that's one reason I love this game.
Ellie: done
Karen: thanks ellie
Karen: Gracie...
Karen: As the number of tribe members diminish, so does your options narrow of who to vote out tonight. How do you choose who to vote out? What will your vote be based on? Is this a hard or easy vote for you to make?
Gracie: *shoots self*
Taylor: No need for a vote tonight
Taylor: Gracie is dead, we all survive!
Jenne: *giggles*
Gracie: I try to make strategical decision on voting people out. But voting people out is HARD
Gracie: My vote has to be based on what will help keep me in the game and give me 3 more days.
Gracie: I never look at my vote lightly or not consider its impact.
Gracie: done.
Karen: thanks gracie
Karen: Jenne...
Karen: Describe each person left in the game using just one word.
Jenne: goin alpha here, no favorites
Jenne: annette-shrewd
Jenne: ellie-adorable
Jenne: gracie-sweet
Jenne: kyle-flirt
Jenne: lucas-competitive
Jenne: taylor-(after minx you get it worst) dork!
Jenne: :-P
Taylor: lol
Jenne: done
Karen: thanks jenne
Karen: Annette...
Karen: Jenne just called you "shrewd"...what is your reaction to this?
Karen: Also...How proud are you of your past experiences in the game? Anything you wish you could go back in time and change?
ANNETTE: Well, at first, I thought she said 'shrew' and I was like I'm a mousey creature?! What the... ?! lol But then I looked it up... <cont>
ANNETTE: "Characterized by keen awareness, sharp intelligence, and often a sense of the practical." That sounds like me, altho I don't know about the intelligent part. I think I tend to pay attention to
ANNETTE: the fine details, that's just who I am. As far as am I proud - I would say Yes. I think I've played a good game so far and have gotten to know people on a personal level <cont>
ANNETTE: which is my main goal besides making the jury. I wouldn't change a thing either.
ANNETTE: Done.
Karen: thanks Annette
Karen: Taylor...
Karen: How proud are you of your past experiences in the game? Anything you wish you could go back in time and change?
Karen: (same question as annette's btw in case you're wondering)
Taylor: huh?
Taylor: ohh
Taylor: sorry
Karen: Also...In your opinion, what has been the highest point of the game and the lowest point of the game?
Karen: *trying to make it harder for you since i know you love the hard questions...heehee*
Jenne: *cheers karen on*
Taylor: I'm very proud of how far I've made it, and how I've done. I normally don't have any regerts and I think we've all in this at this instant should be proud. I mean we've made it past 11 tribal councils. We had all done an execellent
Taylor: Job, and the person voted out tonight should be so proud of themselves. I know I will be if it's me
Taylor: My highest and lowest points in this games are the tribal councils
Taylor: Highest because I've made it past one more vote
Taylor: and lowest because another friend is leaving us, honestly I can say everyone in this game that I have met except for one person has been a friend
Taylor: and I think we all know who that one person was
Taylor: done.
Karen: thanks taylor
Karen: Lucas...
Karen: You've now won your 2nd consecutive immunity challenge. How do you think others in your tribe view you? Do you think they will see you as a threat because of that?
Taylor: Oh sorry since know one seems to know, it was mitch
Taylor: * backs away*
Gracie: *steals that necklace*
ANNETTE: *pokes Lucas with stick*
Lucas: Of course they do. I'd be a fool if I thought they didn't. I have to hope that however they see me that it isn't the ONLY factor by which they judge me. (more)
Lucas: It's not enough to win challenges. You could win them over and over again and that won't be enough to win in a final vote. Just look at Kelly Wiglesworth or Boston Rob. (more)
Lucas: I just do my best like everyone else and hope for the best like everyone else.
Lucas: (done)
Karen: thanks lucas
Karen: Lucas…As the immunity winner, you have the option of keeping immunity for yourself or giving it up to someone else in the tribe. Please state now if you wish to keep it or give it to someone.
Gracie: *steals*
Lucas: I think my streak is coming to a screeching halt tonight so...I think I will keep it so I can enjoy it's comforts one last time.
Karen: OK…Lucas has immunity, so you cannot vote for him. Everyone else is vulnerable.
Karen: With that said, it's time to vote!
Karen: When I call your name, please privately IM me with your vote AND reason.
Karen: Taylor
Karen: Annette
Karen: Jenne
Karen: Lucas
Karen: Kyle
Karen: Ellie
Karen: Gracie

[Host Rob]

How they voted and why:

ANNETTE:
My vote is for Kyle - it came down to 1 of 2 people tonight, you or Lucas... and Colby, errr... Lucas won immunity again so I can't vote for him. You're a wonderful guy and I was honored to have played with you, but I hope this vote works and you end up on the jury side. The best of luck to you in all you do and enjoy your time with Emmy.

ELLIE:
Tonight, I'm voting for KYLE. I've voted for you before and I'll continue to vote for you if we both stay. I just trust you the least and I think you're a threat to me and my position in this game. Good luck to you though and nothing personal.

GRACIE:
~ Annette ~ this is a hard vote and I've dreaded it. Annette, I adore you. But this is a necessary vote to move me forward. I sincerely hope we connect again. Whether I'm on the jury or after the game.

JENNE:
My vote tonight is for Annette. I am breaking my alliance with you tonight and I want you to know that I am not enjoying this. I had deals made long before ours however. You have lied to me. And I have not been upfront with you. This time was to come eventually and now is as good as any. I wish you well and it has been a pleasure playing this game by your side because i have a lot of respect for you as a person, a mother, and as a player. goodluck!

KYLE:
Annette. This is strictly alliance and strategic to get me further in the game. You are definately one that I enjoyed talking to and sharing daughter/neice pictures. It was fun playing the game with you.

LUCAS:
My vote is for ANNETTE. You had your reprieve but your number's up. I hope you retain your positive attitude on the jury though. You are, after all, never fully dressed without a smile.

TAYLOR:
Annette- I hate to do this, because you seem like a great woman, but it's time for you to go. You are just the biggest threat left outside of the alliance. I wish you and your kids the best, this isn't a vote of not liking someone, this is just a vote of game play. Sorry.


Annette’s final words:

Wow, this came as a surprise - I'm sad but not upset. I think I played a good game and made my goal of jury. I'm just sad to think that someone sold me out - I was all about working with the ladies and one of them fucked the rest of us over. I need to find out who it was and make sure that person, if they end up on the final 2, does not get my vote. My heart says Jenne but we'll see...

In part two see the fireworks and find out who is the next to go.
