Worst Case Scenario

Worst Case Scenario is the sixth episode of Survivor: Nicaragua.

Challenges
Individual Immunity/Tribal Reward Challenge: ''Kitty Litter ''This episode's challenge was divided into two parts:

First Part (for Individual Immunity): The tribes will perform the challenge in different heats. Wearing baskets behind their backs, the survivors must dig a small rope ring buried in sand. Then they must toss the ring to their basket. First person to collect all of their rings would win individual immunity.  Winners: Jill (from La Flor) and Holly (from Espada)

 Second Part (for Tribal Reward): The winners from both tribe will then compete for tribal reward. Using the hoops they had collected during the first part, they must shoot them to a shield with five hoops. First person to complete the task would win reward for his/her tribe. Reward: A feast of chicken and beef kabobs to be eaten while listening to the proceedings of other tribe's Tribal Council. Winner:  Jill (for La Flor)

Night of Day 14
At Espada, the intense rain made Dan to tell Holly his desire to quit the game. Dan confided, “I can’t go twenty more nights with this rain here.” Holly tried to comfort him and convice him not to quit. Holly said of Dan's revelation: “One lesson I’ve learned out here is quitting is an easy way out. If you can’t handle the rain, the wind, you should of thought of that before you came. You signed up for something, suck it up and finish.”

Day 15
Shocked by Tyrone's elimination, Yve asked Holly of why she was not informed about the plan of voting Tyrone out. Holly explained that she thought that Yve might have ahd an alliance with Tyrone, which Yve completely denied. Realizing that she might be next, Yve declared: “It’s going to be tough for me, but I’m not walking out of here without a fight.” Later, after Holly revealed Dan's questionable desire for the competition, Yve fumed: “I don’t want to throw anybody under the bus, but Danny doesn’t want to be here anymore. So I will take that information and work around that. It’s the game of Survivor and you got to do what you got to do to stay alive.”

Over at La Flor, Marty and Jill conversed about how life has changed since the tribe switch. Jill said: “We’ve been dealt a very bad hand by coming onto a team in minority numbers. I feel like the young ones bonded and bonded really strong. So, I definitely feel like they would get rid of us in a heartbeat if they could.” In a confessional, Brenda subconsciously affirmed Jill's assumptions by saying: “Even though were all called La Flor, it’s still younger tribe and older tribe.” Despite this still-brewing conflict between age groups, Brenda announced an exception to the younger members' distate for the elders - Jane, because she mingled and dealt with them in a friendly and humble manner. Brenda then revealed that her alliance are planning to enforce a tie between Marty and Jill to potentially flush Marty's Hidden Immunity Idol.

When the tribes convened for what they thought was a typical Reward Challenge, host Jeff Probst revealed that the challenge will be for both individual immunity and tribal reward at the same time, because both tribes will go to Tribal Council to vote one of their own off the island.

During the individual immunity portion of the challenge, Jill and Holly ended up victorious, assuring them that they will be safe for the next three days. Holly and Jill then competed for tribal reward in the final round. It was a closely-contested match, though Jill won tribal reward for La Flor.

Back at La Flor, while congratulating Jill for winning immunity as well as reward for the tribe, Brenda felt that Jill's win led her alliance to a dilemma. She explained: “Worst case scenario happened. Jill won individual immunity. Marty has the Hidden Immunity Idol. So now we’re stuck.” Brenda later went to Sash for regrouping. Sash proposed to turn on Kelly B. instead (though Kelly B. was also a part of the original La Flor, she was not part of Brenda's alliance). Brenda added: “Kelly B. has never been a part of our alliance. She was gunning for me from the start. Plus she has a fake leg. So I think people would give Kelly B. the million dollars because they feel bad for her and you can’t afford to have someone like that around.” As a failsafe, Brenda approached Kelly B. to vote Jane instead. Though Kelly B. was not happy about the idea since Jane was likable, she agreed to save herself. Meanwhile, Marty is trying to lure Fabio to join his alliance that includes Jill and Jane. Marty tried to lure Fabio by telling him that he was a chess grandmaster and was trained by none other than Guillermo Vilas, the Argentine Grandmaster. A gullible Fabio immediately believed everything Marty had said, not knowing that Marty was just bluffing because Vilas was actually a tennis player. Completely luring Fabio, Marty said, “You can never be too cocky. You can never be too confident, but if I can pull this off, it could be a whole new ballgame.”

At Espada, Holly congratulated herself for winning immunity, along with the fact that she was a part of the younger alliance of Chase, Alina, NaOnka and Benry. Holly said: “The choices tonight between who we can vote for are Dan and Yve.” Holly approached Dan and asked if whether he will quit or not. Dan officially declared that he will not quit. Meanwhile, Benry and Chase were thinking if they should just vote Yve instead, since both of them do not see Dan as a threat at all. Benry explained: “I personally want to get rid of Yve tonight because I don’t want to take her to the merge. She’s a smart player. She’s here to play for the million dollars.” When they approached Alina and Naonka about change of plan, the two rebutted that Dan must be eliminated right away. Sensing that she is in danger, Yve told Alina and NaOnka that her strength in challnges will benefit the tribe more and stressed about Dan's wavering desire for the game was dwindling. Yve also added that he has good terms with the ex-Espada members at La Flor. Yve's last-minute scrambling made Alina suspicious. Alina said: “I’m thinking if we get you to the merge and you have good relationships, what makes us think that you are not going to switch on us.” She continued: “That’s the perfect argument to get rid of her.”

At La Flor's Tribal Council, Marty was caught into a crossfire when Brenda kept on grilling him about his Hidden Immunity Idol and his alliance with Jill. Pissed about this, Marty whispered to a nearby Jane to "vote Brenda." Not knowing Jane's grudge on him, Jane voted for Marty. With Marty making a risky plan for not using his Hidden Immunity Idol, the vote ended up in an erratic 3-3-2 vote between Marty and Kelly B., while the two throwaways were for Brenda. Jeff told the castaways to revote between Marty and Kelly B. The tribe had deemed that Kelly B.'s artificial leg could give her an easy win, and with a 5-1 vote, Kelly Bruno was sent home. After the vote. La Flor sat at the Jury bench to watch Espada's Tribal Council, where they will enjoy the feast that Jill won for them.

While La Flor chowed down at the sidelines, several of the Espada members tried their best to not look at the rival tribe eating. Jeff then teased the blue tribe about La Flor's win. Holly stated she would give up immunity just to get the reward, while Dan joked that: "If it is not a martini, it doesn't bother me," sending everyone laughing. The tribe members agreed that they were torn between Dan's constant complaining and weakness in challenges (though he doesn't pose as a post-merge threat) and Yve being a hardcore player and a social threat (though she was not a liability in challenges). Before Espada started voting, Jeff told the La Flor tribe to go back to camp. After Espada's vote, a disappointed Yve was sent home.

Trivia
This is the first season to have both women to win this type of challenge.
 * This episode marked the ninth time to feature a double Tribal Council, following, Pearl Islands, Vanuatu, Palau, Guatemala, Cook Islands, Gabon, Samoa and Heroes vs. Villains.
 * This also marked the second time a tie has happened during a double Tribal Council, following Palau.
 * This is the second time that two Immunity Necklaces were offered in a double Tribal Council, following All-Stars, Gabon and Samoa.
 * But unlike the stated seasons, where one necklaces is slightly smaller than the other (yet the same design), this season featured two necklaces that are totally distinct from each other, with respect to the name of the winner's tribe (Jill's has a flower ornament, denoting La Flor, while Holly's had a saber/sword-like ornament, denoting Espada). Additionally, the design of the Immunity Neckalce for the merged tribe will be entirely different
 * This also marked the third season to feature an individual immunity/tribal reward challenge, following Gabon and Heroes vs. Villains.
