Story

Day 7

	Adam	“	At Tribal Council, it was a unanimous vote. Danni went home, because Boston Rob, Parvati, and Ethan decided to betray her. So, to me, the three old-schoolers have been running the show here. Boston Rob feels like he needs to be in control at all times. He won this game because he was in control from start to finish. But this is not Survivor: Redemption Island. This is Survivor: Winners at War. He needs to adapt and maybe play a little bit more like I am! This is the time to draw a line in the sand and target some of the big dogs in this game.	”

	Denise	“	Right now, I'm feeling like I'm in a fairly good spot. Last night, Danni was voted out of the game and bequeathed her Fire Token to me. I had found the Immunity Idol, and I had to give half away, but before we went to Tribal Council, Adam, luckily, had given me back the other half of the idol. So it is now my idol, and it is whole and it has power. And I feel secure that Adam and I are good, but Ethan, Rob, and Parvati appear to be very tight. So we need to take some control so that we're driving the vote, versus maybe the three of them.	”

	Ben	“	I can't stand Rob because he's an alpha male and he's gonna take charge. But as long as I keep my temper down, I'm okay. Because we can put a vote where we want it, whether it's Boston Rob or Parvati. But... (chuckles) I wish Rob would get-get off this island.	”

	Adam	“	Everybody at home will be shouting: "Why would you ever, ever, ever do this?!" Why would I ever tell Ethan that I'm going to vote out Parvati? Because if Parvati is going to go home, I need Ethan in my corner. I need him to be okay and still trust me.	”

	Ethan	“	I'm cool with Adam, but you can't come to me, telling me you're gonna vote off Parvati. He knows I'm close to Parvati. That was a silly mistake on his part. Parvati's my number one. I trust her with my life. And to have one person that you can trust, no matter what, is huge. It's more huge than having a decent relationship with Adam.	”

	Sandra	“	Here I am for the fifth time, and once this is over, I'm retiring from the game. So, this season, I'm going to switch gears. I want to prove my worth to this tribe and catch a couple of fish.	”

	Tyson	“	So, right now, I'm in a new position in this game that I've never experienced before, being everyone's target. And it's been kind of a tricky seven days for me, a little bit of a roller coaster. So I need to point the target anywhere else. I'm thinking throwing Sandra's name out would be easy. She's the weakest one on the tribe, and on top of that, Sandra has two million in the bank from Survivor. So toppling the queen would please everyone here.	”

	Yul	“	Sandra has a reputation for just using misinformation and stirring things up. And, for me, I want to keep people who I feel like who are playing a rational game, so that they're not making unpredictable moves that will backstab me as I'm getting towards the end. I don't trust Tyson right now, but his proposal to vote out Sandra is an option.	”

Day 8

	Sandra	“	Yay! I got us a shark. Us waking up to a shark steak breakfast... no one is at my level just yet.	”

	Tony	“	I said, "Oh, hey, let me jump in. Let me be the hero. Let me grab the shark." So I grab the shark, just pick it up. As soon as I picked it up, it went... "Ahhh!"	”

	Nick	“	"Ahhh!"	”

	Yul	“	"Ahhh!" Tony's scared of sharks. And so, like, the idea that the shark was gonna bite him was freaking him out.	”

	Tony	“	So many thoughts went through my mind in, like, a millisecond. The first reaction was to let it go. So it would've fell back in the water and it would escape. There-- I-I would've-- I would've just said, "Guys, let me just swim to the Edge, because you don't need to vote me off tonight. I know who's going." Oh, man, what a cluster that was.	”

	Yul	“	We want to keep the momentum going, and I think one of the components of keeping that momentum going is keeping morale high and being well-fed. And Sandra is a big part of that. So, I know Tyson is targeting Sandra, but I don't want to lose Sandra.	”

	Sandra	“	There is no way that Tyson's gonna come after me and that he's not gonna pay the price for it. Don't come after me. If you (censored) come after me, I better not find out about it.	”

	Danni	“	Back at camp, when I was in the game, we had coconuts laying around. There's no coconuts here on Extinction. You get very little rice every day. And if you don't provide for yourself, you're not gonna eat. So, we're trying to spearfish, and it was my first time ever spearfishing. I can't even begin to tell you how beautiful it was. I've never seen anything like that before in my life.	”

	Danni	“	If I don't take anything else away from this game, getting that little fish tells me, "You may be down, but you're never out." So I'm holding on to that here.	”

	Amber	“	Natalie got some Tree Mail for us. We get these bamboo tubes wrapped up in these pretty shells, and we open 'em up and... (looks at parchment with tree figure) Natalie and I have been up to get rice several times, and we've done some exploring while we were on the mountain, and we've noticed these trees that stand out among all the green around 'em, so we were just thinking about getting to that tree right away.	”

	Natalie	“	We get to the tree, and there's a freaking, like, lockbox, which I did not expect. I thought it was just gonna be my advantage right there. I read the little sign, so I knew it wasn't a guessing game. Yet I stayed there, and I took a million guesses, trying to figure it out.	”

	Amber	“	Immediately, my head goes back to, "I'm not gonna help them out in any way," which is kind of weird, because we've been working together so well. And then, all of a sudden, it's competition again. I remember seeing numbers painted on the crates that are by the mast. I tried to remember them in my head, but I'm thinking, "I need to write these numbers down or I'm gonna get up there and forget and be really mad at myself."	”

	Natalie	“	I was trying to think of what I had missed, and that's when it clicked. And then I hold it up (string with seashells), and I realize there's, like, this sequence of shells with knots in between each kind of grouping. I just couldn't believe that this was it. There were three tubes. I chucked one into the bushes and broke the second one. So if one of them came, they won't be able to figure it out. And I knew I had to get up there as soon as possible. And, luckily, both of them had kind of given up. I laid the shells, and I just slowly put the numbers in. I was trying not to get too excited, but my heart starts racing. I took a deep breath and...	”

	Natalie	“	The advantage I have is a Steal a Vote advantage. That obviously has no value on Extinction. And, again, like the other two, I have to somehow pick the right person who would be risky enough to do this and who would buy this advantage from me. It will be so sweet if they go for it because these opportunities to earn these tokens, they're not given to us every day. I would have three Fire Tokens, so I'm actually a billionaire on Extinction. Uh, but I'm pretending that I'm a complete peasant and completely poor like the rest of them. Everything that I'm doing is gonna lead to my eventual goal here, uh, which is to get off this bloody island and get back there.	”

	Sarah	“	I'm going through my bag, and I see something in there that I didn't put in there. So, I get a free second, and I walk out of camp and find a good spot to hide. And I pull out a... note.	”

	Sarah	“	This is a huge decision, because I've successfully played the Steal a Vote in Game Changers. I know how it's played, and I know how powerful it can be. So this is definitely something I would like to have in my back pocket. But there's a lot at stake. First of all, it's gonna cost me my Fire Token, the one token that I have. And then I gotta sneak out of my camp without getting caught. I also have to infiltrate a camp that I know nothing about. I mean, I haven't gotten to do recon on that camp at all. If it was any other season, I'd probably turn it down. But it's Winners at War, and I'm ready to go to battle. So I'm going for it. As a cop, this feels like I'm suiting up to go do a search warrant right now, but nobody enters a building alone. You wait for your backup to get there. So I might have to tap in one of my other fellow police officers to help me out with this mission.	”

	Tony	“	Officer Sarah comes up to me and says, "Tony, I need you to be a good partner today, and I need backup." And we went into stealth mode at that point. I told her I was gonna get a coconut, fill it up with ashes, so, before she goes on her mission, I'm gonna cover her skin so she can be camouflaged. So, as I put this charcoal on her forehead, it's, like, dusty and it's not really sticking. So she tells me, "Spit on it." So I'm like spitting in the charcoal, making it nice and wet. And then she had to spit in it too 'cause it wasn't enough. So, at the end of the day, we did it.	”

	Sarah	“	I make my way down the trail, and I get right to the edge of camp, and it is pitch black; I can't see anything. And it's foreign territory. I have no idea what's going on. So I start crawling around, looking for these torches. I get just past the fire, and off to my right, I see all the torches. I'm like, "Bingo!" Here's the problem: I have to get to the top of these things, and they're taller than I am. So I'm gonna have to stand up and be completely exposed. I'm looking in the top of the torches, I'm putting my hand in, and I don't feel it in any of 'em. There is a guy sleeping literally ten feet from where I'm doing this, and I'm clanging torches. I'm snapping twigs when I step. It's a complete disaster. This is not how I envisioned this going. Finally, I feel it. I'm like, "This is it." Pull it out, stick it in my pants without them waking up and I bolted. Mission accomplished.	”

Day 9

	Denise	“	We lost again, but the game plan is to vote off Parvati. And we know that this vote is a critical vote. This could blow up a lot of people's game.	”

	Rob	“	Losing today's challenge was tough. And when we get back to the camp, it was almost like it was a standoff. Season 40 is a different kind of season. These players know what they're doing. Everybody's kind of going over their own game plans in their own heads, waiting to see who's gonna move first.	”

	Michele	“	Nobody wanted to walk off. We know this game inside and out, and we know what happens when you are the first to walk off and start strategizing.	”

	Jeremy	“	Everyone's sitting around real quiet, and you could tell this is just the calm before the storm. But I knew as soon as I walk away, Ben was gonna come with me, and then things were gonna start rolling and the bullets were gonna start flying and knives are gonna start stabbing.	”

	Ben	“	Tonight, we want to break up the group of Parvati, Ethan, and Rob. At this point, the most dangerous person out of those three is Parvati. She knows how to bat her eyes, smile her pretty teeth, and manipulate people to work with her. And that's why it's scary to have her in the game as opposed to Rob or Ethan.	”

	Adam	“	The war has begun, and I have an incredibly tall task. It is impossible to vote somebody out in this group and not piss off somebody else... or is it?	”

	Adam	“	As far as I'm concerned, Parvati is going home tonight. But you do not go against the Godfather. Boston Rob is somebody that I would like to work with long term. And strategically, telling people truths at important times can be very helpful. I did it in Millennials vs. Gen X. It has backfired on a lot of people who've played this game, but I think it will work.	”

	Rob	“	Adam is gonna blindside Parvati, and I'm supposed to be okay with that. I'm thinking, "Is this kid crazy?" I know he's seen me play on TV. He's seen every episode. He knows everything. I don't play like that.	”

	Rob	“	Adam's forcing my hand. If somebody's coming after one of my alliance members, I'm coming after them.	”

	Parvati	“	Because Adam broke the cardinal rule of Survivor and he told Rob, who's aligned with the person who you're planning to blindside, me, I now know Adam's plan. Because Adam's trying to blindside me, it's got to be Adam. I'm ready to pounce on Adam, devour that guy and just spit out his bones on Edge of Extinction.	”

	Michele	“	Right now it seems absolutely essential that we break up the trio Rob, Ethan, and Parvati, because they're running the show. But it pisses me off that Adam would go scurry on over to Rob and tell him the whole plan to vote Parvati and throw me and Jeremy under the bus. So I could absolutely take out Adam tonight. Now I have to get the wheels turning, and I have to start talking to people and figuring out what the plan is.	”

	Michele	“	Me and Jeremy hold a lot of power tonight because we're deciding the future of this tribe. We can either take out one of the power trio or take out the person who's playing both sides, which is Adam. I do feel pressure coming into this season. People didn't think I deserved my win, but I feel like I am proving that they were wrong.	”

	Ethan	“	I'm not afraid of Edge of Extinction because I've been to the edge of extinction having to go through cancer, so I think I have the mental strength to get through it.	”

Challenges

Reward/Immunity Challenge: Along the Watch Tower
Castaways must jump between three sets of raised ramps to the end of the course. If at any point a castaway falls while jumping, they must run back and start over. Once all tribe members have finished, they must dig a heavy ladder out of a sand pit, then prop it so that one member can retrieve a monkey's fist on top of a tripod. They must then toss the monkey's fist through a target in order to climb the first ramp of a tall tower. Afterwards, tribes must hoist each other to the top of a second ramp. Once everyone is at the top of the tower, two members must solve a tree puzzle. The first tribe to finish their puzzle wins.
