Day 3 [Rio Tribe � Aaron, Brian, Joey, Kimber, Landon, Ray, Parisa, Travis] The next morning Landon woke up with a bit of paranoia fever. Aaron was already up trying to start the fire. Landon: So are we in the alliance? You, Joey and myself? Aaron: I talked wit Joey about it he liked the idea, what you think? Landon: Ya I like the idea, the bb USA alliance lol. Aaron: Hell ya. Landon: Well there�s 8 people in our tribe so if we get like 2 more people with us. Landon: We have majority. Aaron: Well I say we have our alliance then assure two others Aaron: Like Parisa and someone else u know? Landon: Travis is pretty cool Aaron: Then those two, let�s get them to vote with us. Landon: I don�t talk to Kimber too much. Aaron: Well if you see Joey about tell him bout the situation. Landon: Okay. After not having felt completely secure with his position in the tribe Aaron went around to talk to some of his other tribe mates. Maybe he would be able to find out a little more about who other people were voting. Aaron: Hey Kimber Kimber: Hey Aaron Kimber: What�s up? Aaron: I'm doing well. Aaron: How are you? Kimber: I�m fine thanks. I could be a bit better if we didn�t have to vote. I remember when we first talked to you; you said you knew Landon and Joey. Do you think you guys are going to vote the same way? Because I am so lost. Aaron: I don�t know, why you want someone gone? Kimber: Well, no I just don�t want to be the one gone. Aaron: I mean they might vote the same way; I'm not going to vote you though. Kimber: All right. Aaron: Who do you wanna vote? Kimber: Not sure, everyone seems nice. Who helped out the least with the challenge? Aaron: I just spoke wit Brian like 20 minutes ago he said he just registered on the forum, and he really didn�t help at all. Kimber: Really? I thought he helped late last night a bit with Ray and Travis. Do you know how Parisa will vote? Aaron: I think she will vote for inactive people knowing her so far. Aaron: Hmmm� Kimber: Actually, now the more that I think about it, I think I�m voting Landon now that I�m sizing everyone up, he doesn't seem very trustworthy Aaron: What do you mean? Did he lie to u? Kimber: He never answers any of my questions, yet he asks me a lot of them, I don�t get a good vibe Kimber: I was speaking with Aaron about the voting that is going down tonight. I find it really funny that he decides to talk my ear off now that we have to vote. He really never said anytime to me up until today. I was playing with his head, throwing names on whom to vote for, like Landon. See, the problem I have with Aaron is he told me that he, Joey and Landon all know each other, and are friends. That scared me because after this vote, or even in this vote they can take control of our tribe. I want the freaking control! Kimber: Travis, hey there bud. Travis: Hey Kimber. Please tell me you want to vote the same way! Kimber: Haha, I was actually going to talk to you about just that. I really think Aaron needs to go. You know how I told you that the three of those guys know each other, well he seems the be the sneakiest one of the three. Travis: Have you spoken to anyone else about this? Like Ray, or Parisa. Kimber: I mentioned it to Parisa earlier, but she wasn�t very responsive. Travis: I can get Ray to vote with us, he and I are getting pretty tight. Kimber: All right, so you think the Aaron think is a good idea? Travis: Totally man! Aaron: When I found out that Kimber might vote for Landon, I had to deflect that vote and somehow get a few more votes along with Landon, Joey and myself. My plan was to somehow turn the tables on Kimber, because after all Brian�s ass was saved! Aaron: Hey Parisa. Parisa: Hey there Aaron. Aaron: Well, any one in mind for the vote girl? I mean, its such a hard decision Parisa: I'm not sure yet. I havent gotten the chance to talk to many people about the vote yet. Aaron: Ya. I heard people saying Brian, but now he is safe in exile, do I don�t know. Parisa: Yeah...Who else were you considering? Aaron: Well, I heard some Kimber, and Joey. What do you think? Parisa: Oh wow...I like them both so much, but I guess someone has to go. What were you leaning towards doing? Aaron: I want Kimber. I don�t know why. Parisa: You want to vote Kimber out, or you want Kimber to stay? Aaron: I think out Parisa: Yeah...Any criteria for that, or just your gut feeling? Aaron: Ya, I mean I don�t know, the vibe she's nice it�s just ya, gut. Parisa: I understand gut feelings. Do you know where the other votes lie? Aaron: Well mixed, I can see more going for Kimber though. Parisa: Yeah I guess if that�s what everyone feels is best then that�s what we should do, although I do like Kimber greatly. Aaron: Ya. Parisa: I think your getting voted out, in all honesty. A clear majority has. The only one I haven�t asked is Landon. Aaron: You speak with Joey? We would have majority if you were to vote with me. Joey, Landon, you and me. Parisa: Joey is voting for you too. I knew it was going to be close, and then when Joey told me he was voting for you...That kind of sealed it up right there. You know what I'm saying? Aaron: No! Parisa: You wouldn't be going home if Joey didn�t tell me that because Kimber, Ray, and Travis were against you...Joey, you, and Landon were voting the other way. Joey ended up going the other way, which tipped the scale against you. Aaron: Which way would you have gone? Parisa: I was waiting to see how all the other votes went first, so I hadn't made up my mind at all yet. It was so wishy washy with everyone switching their minds and stuff. Aaron: You can still change you mind if want but if Joey would ever get on. You guys are going to suck because Joey is an inactive ass. He doesn�t deserve to stay, I am so much stronger! Parisa: Is that who you are voting for? Aaron: I don�t know I guess, what does it matter if everyone is voting me? Parisa: I guess it don't. Even if I changed my vote, someone else would have to do the same in order to make a majority. Aaron: I'm more active and strong than Kimber and Joey put together, this is bullshit! Parisa: If someone else changes their mind then I would consider changing my vote, but you have to find someone else to change, and make sure that it is okay if we change our votes. Aaron: Fine, whatever Parisa, I thought I could trust you! Parisa: Get back to me, Okay? Aaron: Whatever. Parisa: Well, well, well, we lost the first immunity challenge. I was so mad when we lost because I felt like I was the one that carried us through that challenge. I tried so hard and worked so long on that challenge, and for what? To only get all hopes of winning crushed with the results of the first challenge. It's crazy! I felt like some of the people on the tribe didn't care at all about winning this challenge. I didn't even feel like they played with their hearts in this challenge. They just kind of sat back, which angers me on the inside. Now that everyone knows we have to go to Tribal Council, everyone wants to be all chirpy and talkative now. I find it to be quite funny at how much people want to talk now. It's quite hilarious. Brian was exiled, so he didn't get to talk to me at all after the challenge. I wonder how exile is? I sure don't want to find out, that�s for sure. I really feel in the middle about this tribal council. In fact I feel like my vote is the swing vote based on what I've heard. I've got Kimber, Ray, and Travis on one side that all want to vote Aaron out. On the other side I have Aaron, Joey, and Landon who want Kimber out. Both sides kind of think they want me to vote with them. I think my vote will be the deciding vote in this tribal council, and what am I going to do? I have no earthly idea. Down by the shore, Joey was washing up and talking to the cameraman. Joey: O my god. This week was INSANE. My performance at the immunity challenge was lackluster. It only happened because I wasn�t feeling to well, so I�m hoping that it won't happen again. But WOW, My ass is so not even on the line right now. Aaron and Kimber are on the chopping block, and trying to go after one another. I started this game with an alliance between Aaron and Landon, since we knew each other previously, but unfortunately that's going to end after the first tribal council. It seems Aaron has run his mouth and even dropped the bomb that we had an alliance. I cannot keep a loose cannon like that in my alliance, let alone in this game. But would it do me any good to get rid of someone who would vote with me? Fortunately, that still leaves me with Landon, and I am going to make damn sure, that I do everything in my power to keep him in the game. I need him as my back up. The sun was not setting and time for the Rio tribe to hike to the dreaded tribal council. As the tribe was packing up, Aaron pulled Landon aside for one last confirmation. Aaron: Dude so it�s still Kimber right? Landon : I�m not sure, unless something changed that I don�t know about. Aaron: No idea? Aaron: Travis is saying he has heard a couple Kimber, Ray and Joey are saying the same. So I say think it�s Kimber. You still okay wit that? Landon: ya Aaron: You�re not very responsive if I may say, something on your mind? Landon: Nah, just stressing. [Tribal Council #1 � The Rio Tribe] When the 8 castaways arrived at tribal, they were instructed by Sandros [the host] to light their torches in the bonfire. Sandros: Welcome to the first Tribal Council of Survivor Patagonia. I'll start with a few questions Rio. Joey, how did you feel about Brian being voted into the Exile Mountains? Did it affect your vote at all? Joey: I think it's awesome that Brian was voted into Exile. I'd have loved it. It's a great thing in this game, because it gives you a pass. As far as affecting my vote, of course it does. Everything that happens in this game affects my vote. That's not to say Brian was my target. But if he wasn't exiled, I could have talked to him about the vote. Every vote, every moment, every instance that happens in this game, affects the entire outcome, so yes, it did affect my vote. Sandros: Parisa, how did you feel about the tribe�s ability to work together during the challenge? Are you disappointed in anyone�s work ethic? Parisa: I think most people pulled their weight in this challenge. There was a lot of teamwork involved and I don�t feel like anyone slacked off. I think some worked harder than others, but everyone helped pull their own weight for the most part. I was pretty pleased with the amount of effort put into the challenge by the members of the Rio tribe. Sandros: Travis, how have the first couple of days been for you? And, what is your vote based on tonight? Travis: The first couple days so far have been great. It's been awesome getting to know everyone on our tribe; I really like everyone so far. The first immunity challenge was interesting, it really sucks that we lost, but I know mostly everyone put a lot of effort into it. My vote tonight is based on who i felt contributed least to the first challenge. Sandros: Kimber, who is easiest to talk to? Who talks to you the least? Kimber: I find everyone besides Brian and Aaron easy to talk too. It's difficult to talk to Brian because he started late, and we only talked one day until he got exiled. Talking to Aaron is like pulling teeth; he makes me feel like I�m forcing conversation. Not until we lost immunity did he start talking to me, and that says something. Sandros: Aaron, how are you feeling about the vote tonight? Are you nervous that it's going to be you? Aaron: I am feeling a little bit of paranoia about the vote yes. Because you never know when it could be you, even if you are insured. I am a little nervous, but you have to feel what your gut it telling you. If it is me, no regrets. Sandros: Landon, the person you're voting out tonight, do they deserve it? Explain why you're voting the way you are. Landon: Well this is a game and i like everyone on my tribe so this is a difficult decision for me...I don�t really know if they deserve it or not but i feel this is the way it has to be and for that I�m sorry... Sandros: Thank you for your answers castaways. I will now reveal the votes. Once the votes are read, the decision is final. The person voted out will be asked to leave Patagonia immediately. I will read the votes� 1st vote: Aaron 2nd vote: Aaron 3rd vote: Kimber That�s one vote Kimber, two votes Aaron 4th vote: Aaron 5th Vote: Aaron. Sandros: That's 4 votes, that�s majority. There is no need to read the rest of the votes. Aaron, please grab your torch. Aaron, after four days in the game, THE TRIBE HAS SPOKEN! Thanks for a great game Aaron, but because of a 6-1 vote, your time is up. As for the rest of you still in Rio, you can head back to camp. There will be a tree mail waiting for you. [Aaron's Final Words] FUCK every single person on my tribe, I hope they ALL get voted out and LOSE every SINGLE Challenge! Other tribe good luck to you all, go win it! Joey and Landon are both cruddy bastards who lie all the time! Kimber and Brian are nothing but bitches! I give a little luck to Parisa, even though she voted me off, and some luck to Ray and Travis because they didn�t personally hurt me. [Joey�s Reason] I'm voting for AARON tonight, mainly because I don't think he really deserves to be in the game anymore. I'll probably end up regretting this decision, but it is one I have to make. Aaron I truly enjoy you as a person, I honestly do, I just do not have the votes to save you. No matter which way you cut it, the majority is still going to get rid of you, and I cannot stick out like a sore thumb by keeping you here. I hope you can understand and forgive me for this. It's strictly strategy and nothing personal. [Travis� Reason] You really didn�t help out in the challenge and you seem to be talking to everyone and causing unneeded drama and friction. Nothing personal though man. [Parisa�s Reason] Aaron, this is a social game. You aren't talkative with many of the people on the tribe, and are lacking the good conversation skills that this game requires. I think you�re a nice kid, but the numbers are against you and I'm not going to object to the majority. Good luck on the outside, and I wish you well. [Aaron�s Reason] I believe the votes are going for Kimber and Joey, I can't let Joey get off, being he is in my alliance. And Kimber made me mad last night, so here is my vote. [Kimber�s Reason] Aaron you really suck. I�m sure you, Landon and Joey thought you had this game all wrapped up. Guess again buddies. I am going nowhere tonight and you really should have been looking out for your own butt. You are almost probably the worst Survivor player ever�ever! [Ray�s Reason] My vote is for Aaron tonight, you�re the weak link in the tribe and we need this tribe strong as possible heading into the next immunity challenge, which we absolutely have to win. [Landon�s Reason] Aaron I think you�re a good guy but I think you came on too strong in this game at least to me u did...I wish u luck outside of this game and hope to remain friends with u!
