Story

Night 3

	Vince	“	We got back from tribal. My ass was like maybe I should be nice and like, "Oh, it's okay; it's just a game." But I was like (*expletive) no! Like, that's not who I am!	”

	Missy	“	Aaron was pretty mad, understandably so. Nobody spoke to him about the vote, but for me that was perfect. With a guy gone, the girls' alliance is in control, but I know for a fact me and him can still work together, so he needs to stop crying. This is Survivor. If people didn't want to work with you, you would be gone.	”

	Aaron	“	Everybody's saying the right things, but I don't trust anybody... at all. Fool me once, shame on you; fool me twice, that's not going to happen, and unfortunately for them, their day will come.	”

Day 4

	Molly	“	As each day goes by, it gets harder to be around Noura. [...] She's-- annoying. Coming at someone at six in the morning when they've just woken up just isn't smart. [...] We all feel that it's wearing to be with someone for twenty-four hours a day who can be a grating personality because in Survivor you need to bite your tongue, and Noura doesn't.	”

	Noura	“	Molly is not that strong and not that helpful around camp. She's like this, and she's put together, knows how to talk and charm. It's like, "Woah, that's how she's gaining everyone over." That's dangerous! This is why I'm going crazy right now!	”

	Jason	“	Noura and I are clearly on the outs, and Noura getting into trouble is a good thing for my game, but I'm in this weird complex with Noura right now because-- she's my friend. I got into trouble early. People kind of kicked me to the side. The only person that really came to my aid was Noura. I feel I owe her something; I really do.	”

	Noura	“	This sucks! The three like at the top--the king[1], the queen[2] and the jack[3], the popular group--they're the popular group that everyone's like, "We're not worthy! We're not worthy! We want to fit in with you!"-- and me and Jason are the underdogs, the misfits, the nerds. It's like high school all over again.	”

Night 4

	Aaron	“	Making fire has been something we've been talking about since Day 1, since hour 1 of building the camp, but it's not easy, and it just didn't happen. First tribal council, it didn't go the way I wanted it to go, and now this, and I'm beyond frustrated. [...] If I were a gambling person right now, I would bet that tonight once again we're going to get wet, be cold, and it sucks!	”

	Tom	“	Chelsea within like two minutes, she got the fire going, and it shocked us! It shocked me for sure. [...] Aaron and I, we were both really happy she started a fire, but it was also like, "Great job getting that fire going. You just ruined my male ego for the rest of my life!"	”

	Chelsea	“	I'm the one that started the fire, great feeling, especially as a superfan! I'm so happy I did! I'm so proud of myself! I'm in a good position right now. I have my five girls; we have the numbers. And the guys in this tribe, they're cool, but the girls are the ones dominating. We can do anything they can do; in fact, we're doing it better.	”

	Chelsea	“	My heart was just thumping! Like, I've dreamed of this moment, and I can't believe it happened. I was pumped! [...] I didn't go into collecting firewood expecting to find an idol, but any smart Survivor player, you're going to gather things, and you're looking for an idol. [....]There were so many people around! I was so scared! I just had to keep my composure. Fortunately, these guys don't know what's going on, they' don't know there's a girl alliance, they don't know how to make fire, and clearly they don't know how to make a hidden immunity idol. I don't know what's going on in their heads, but the game has started, and they're behind!	”

Jamal is shown writing Jason's name down on the parchment and Molly is shown writing Noura's name down on the parchment.

	Noura	“	(voting against Molly) Molly, sorry, it's time to put an end to your reign, my queen. It's time for the misfits and the nerds and the outsiders to finally feel like they belong.	”

Final Words

	Molly	“	I'm stunned, hurt, and frankly dizzy from--from this blindside. I have seen so many blindsides on Survivor and you're always kind of like, "how they not know?" and I truly did not know. I'm not sure exactly where I went wrong or what happened or how this tide turned. I guess I got cocky and I've been humbled.	”
