Story

“	Castaways are on the edge of breaking down when faced with a grueling opportunity.	”
—Episode Synopsis[2]

Night 9

	Adam	“	Oh, man. Tribal Council was tough. I thought Parvati was going home, but I revealed my alliance's plan to Boston Rob and he betrayed me.	”

	Adam	“	I got left out of the vote by the people that I was supposed to be aligned with. I just did everything that you're not supposed to do in Survivor and I had the hubris to think that I could get away with it.	”

	Adam	“	I was playing all sides, and, unfortunately, everybody knows it, and I'm lucky to be here. Now I feel like everything is completely changed so I need to make an apology tour.	”

	Ben	“	Adam is that little weasel that's sneaking through the bushes, and whispering in everybody's ear, you know, and that's not good for my game. However, he's very lucky that the biggest threats in the tribe are Boston Rob and Parvati. They're good at what they do and if you give them too much rope, they're gonna grab a loop and put it around your neck and hang ya.	”

Day 10

	Yul	“	In the game of Survivor, these happy times are just as important as the war times. We're getting food, we're bonding with one another, we're winning the challenges. All of that just kind of builds on top of each other and the cumulative effect is that we're just on a roll. Right now, we all like each other and can still continue with this illusion that we're all tight with one another, but in reality, me and Nick, Wendell, and Sophie, we're the strongest alliance within this tribe and I don't think anyone's suspecting that that's the case. So right now, I feel good. Like, I have maximum range of options in front of me.	”

	Sophie	“	I remember in high school, they thought it'd be a good idea to take our class on a trip to the prison and have us see what it looks like when you're a prisoner. And it scared the crap out of us. And I think looking at Edge of Extinction, you know, it really scares me, because I imagine people are miserable. And so, it's kind of like a daily reminder that the good times here are a facade.	”

	Amber	“	It was an exciting morning when I saw a box waiting for us at the mast. But that exciting feeling is also that sick-to-your-stomach feeling, like, "Oh, boy, what's in store for us today?"	”

	Amber	“	To even fathom going up and down 20 times while carrying a log... yeah, that sick feeling that I had when I first saw that box was right on.	”

	Amber	“	Nobody knew what 20 trips was gonna feel like. And then you think, "I'm at the top of the steps, so I've gotten, like, a bit chunk over with." Oh, no, no, no. That's just, like, a tease.	”

	Ethan	“	First trip up the hill was pretty good. So, in my mind, I think, "Oh, 20 times. This isn't gonna be so bad." I mean, I've done marathons. I played professional soccer, I've been through cancer. We have till sundown to do this? Yeah, piece of cake.	”

	Danni	“	It was like running a marathon. And I've seen way too many people run races and just go too fast out of the gate. You're running on no sleep, and no food, and very little water. But Natalie, she-- I don't think she's human. She kept the same pace the whole time.	”

	Amber	“	Natalie-- she's a monster.	”

	Natalie	“	I have been so dominant here, my bank account balance is three Fire Tokens. It's like, I don't want to get greedy, but I want as many Fire Tokens as possible.	”

	Ethan	“	I mean, she's a crossfit trainer, so I expected her to be strong and fit, but she is a beast. And, for me, self-doubt crept in around log ten. Definitely. I wanted to be first, and then I scrapped that concept, and then I realized I just got to get it done.	”

	Natalie	“	This is the hardest thing I've ever done, both emotionally and physically.	”

	Danni	“	It's like, I try to compare it to childbirth, but like, in childbirth, you at least get a baby afterwards. Like, here, you get a Fire Token.	”

	Amber	“	I just kept thinking, "I want this to be over with. I want this to be over with." I was completely depleted. I had nothing left in me.	”

	Ethan	“	(narrating while resting against a tree) It's a tough challenge right now, and I'm struggling to get through it. So, I got to finish by sundown. So, I'm going as fast as I can. I'll go until my legs collapse, or the sun goes down. I may not finish, but... I'm not gonna stop.	”

	Ethan	“	I'm so, like, disappointed in myself. Like, I just wanted to, like, complete this for myself. I had already put in 16 trips. I had four more trips to finish this thing. I just did not want to quit.	”

	Ethan	“	I wanted to set a good example for, like, everyone who's been through a health challenge and thinks they can't do it anymore. Like, you can do it. You can get through those hard moments. And I just sucked it up. Like, I kept saying to myself, like, "Remember when you were, like, getting spinal taps, when you were getting radiation," and I started saying, like, the mantras I was using when I was getting chemotherapy to kind of get me through these hardest moments.	”

	Natalie	“	Until the 20th piece hit that pile of wood, I-I wasn't thinking about anything. I didn't think about one emotional thing. And then it all just came flooding in.	”

	Amber	“	I just did probably one of the hardest things I've ever done in my life and I just... I just needed to let it go.	”

	Ethan	“	I was like, "Remember, seven years ago, you were locked in a hospital room, close to death."	”

	Danni	“	After seeing how much Ethan struggled, and still pick himself up, it was inspiring, you know, it was incredible. And so, on that last run for him, we felt like... we all needed to be a part of that.	”

	Ethan	“	They all went with me to finish the last leg, which was pretty touching.	”

	Amber	“	I all of a sudden realize that bond we've created in this very short time. It's strong. And I felt it at that moment, and it-- and it felt good.	”

	Ethan	“	That was something I'll remember for the rest of my life.	”

Day 11

	Jeremy	“	All of a sudden, Adam's the hardest working person on this island. Adam is acting like one of my children. When they get in trouble, they know you're disappointed in them, so they try to, uh, soften things up. Obviously, Adam is-is trying to save his own hide. And as long as Adam doesn't go back to his old ways, being sneaky and playing both sides, we will keep him around.	”

	Parvati	“	So now that it's just Rob and I, on the bottom, it doesn't mean that we're gonna lay down and die. You know, Ethan sent me his Fire Token, and with this comes a bit of a responsibility to avenge his blindside.	”

	Adam	“	Rob and Parvati are trying to get me to make a mistake, to say something that I shouldn't, but I'm not gonna give them the satisfaction, nor the ammunition.	”

	Rob	“	Adam's not saying anything. That's fine. Adam, I'm sorry, but at the end of the day, this is Survivor. I got to lie, buddy.	”

	Michele	“	Wow, Adam went and opened his big mouth again. He's playing both sides over and over and over again. I'm so sick of it.	”

	Jeremy	“	Adam is definitely a liability. He can't switch it off. He can go. I-I-- I can't keep babysitting him and keeping him around and it's driving me crazy. I'm done with it.	”

	Sarah	“	I think with everybody being a veteran player, we've come back and we're taking advantage of our playground. I'm having the most fun I've ever had out here.	”

	Sarah	“	At this point, I know people don't trust Tyson. But, surprisingly, Tyson and I have this bond, and it's-it's great. We mesh so well together, and those are the types of people that you rely on.	”

	Tyson	“	The game is getting tricky. It's eerily calm, but I know that gaming is going on nonstop. If I sit back and think about the tribe, the bigger threats are going after each other, and the people who are less connected, or who have only played the game one time, they're not even on anybody's radar. People like Wendell, Nick, Yul, and... I don't even know who the last one is... Sophie. So under the radar that I did not even know her name.	”

	Sandra	“	I'm pretty much just listening and saying like, "Oh, for real? Dang." But it's shady and it's a lie. So what he's trying to do is save himself any way that he can. You know what, Tyson? You threw the first stone, 'cause you came after me days ago, so I need Tyson to go. Tyson, you better hope we win this challenge, 'cause you're in deep doo-doo.	”

	Adam	“	(tearful) My mom told my teachers when I was in eight grade, "When Adam decides that he is going to do something or accomplish something, there is absolutely no stopping him." And she was right.	”

	Tyson	“	We got back to camp, and it was pretty standard fare. Like, everybody pats the puzzle makers on the back and says, "It's not your fault." It is. I mean, it was their fault. But that's great for me, because I need Nick out of the picture.	”

	Tyson	“	Nick doesn't do much. He's not helpful at camp. He blew the puzzle. And he's one of these unconnected players that I want out of the game.	”

	Tyson	“	Nobody wants to make the first move, but I need to start dictating the direction of my game. It's an easy vote. The entire tribe's on board, and it's back to kumbaya.	”

	Wendell	“	Tyson is one of the greats. This is his fourth time playing. But he doesn't know what's going on. All of our eyes are on Tyson. He's kind of a dead man walking. Tyson is the biggest threat on this beach, because he's well connected on the other side. If we were to merge or swap or anything, once he links up with Rob and maybe Parv, they could do a lot of damage together.	”

	Nick	“	Tyson's a troublemaker. He's got it out for me. You know, it-it kind of sucks, 'cause Tyson was, like, one of my favorite players. But now it's like a war. He's coming after me, and I'm coming after him. I feel like I'm in with everybody. But I-I'm definitely nervous. Everybody here's won the game. And everybody here knows how to lie good. People can say whatever they want, but until they actually prove it with a vote, you don't know where people stand.	”

	Tony	“	So far, it's been real smooth for me, and that's why I'm in a tricky situation right now. If it was up to me, I would rather get rid of Nick, 'cause Nick is really not a threat. He's my number, but he's not a shield. Tyson is a shield, and he can be a number. Tyson is more of a target than I am. I'm just hiding behind him. And-and I don't want to lose him. I don't want to lose him.	”

	Sarah	“	Tony's right. The big threats, we need to band together 'cause we're being bamboozled. Kim and I are 100% on board. The problem is it all hinges on Sandra. If Sandra's not on board, the plan doesn't work.	”

	Sandra	“	Tony's right. We'd be stupid to let Tyson go because he's a bigger target than we are.	”

	Sandra	“	I've had issues with Tyson since he threw my name out there, but I've never allowed emotion to control my game. I like revenge, but at the end of the day, I love 2 million dollars even more.	”

	Tyson	“	It's for sure a bummer being voted out, but the Edge of Extinction does take a little bit of the sting out of it. I assume it's just gonna be living the aloha lifestyle 24/7. Piña coladas, perhaps.	”
