Day 33 [Punto Tombo Tribe- Eloy, Kimber, Sebastian, Shuri, Travis] Shuri: Later tonight the five of us are heading to Tribal Council. Sebastian winning the challenge was a shock and sadly it maybe set in stone that I would be going home next. My only choice right now is to have faith in Kimber. Her and my friendship has blossomed since that first switch of tribes. We�ve voted out plenty of people together and now, my fate in this game is in her hands. I find it unsettling because I�d rather be the one to decide my own destiny, not her. I bitched about this to Sebastian for long, no use in continuing to do so. Today I�m just going to talk to Kimber and make sure she is still voting off Eloy. There should be no reason to keep him around. His time has definitely come. Shuri: Hey Kimber. Kimber: Hey there Shuri. I know what you want to talk about. Shuri: Oh yeah? Kimber: The vote obviously, haha. Shuri: Right. Kimber: Well Travis has already asked me to vote you out, but I want you to know that I can�t do it. Shuri: I knew I�d be the one he�d target. Dang. Kimber: Yeah, unfortunately he thinks you�re a big threat, since Sebastian won and all. Shuri: I understand that, but I don�t want to go. Kimber: That�s why I�m not voting you. I want you and I to be the final two girls. Shuri: Oh Kimber. That�s the greatest news I�ve heard in a couple of days! Kimber: Aw, I know. It�s been rough. You and I just need to stay strong. Shuri: Yes we do. Kimber: Travis has this whole scheme to use Eloy�s vote and I�m not really okay with that. I can�t stand Eloy. Why would I want him to make it any further? Shuri: Yeah and I see the choice between me and Eloy isn�t a hard one. Kimber: No, not at all. It was very easy. Shuri: Well Kimber, I don�t really know what to say right now. I�m so thankful. Kimber: No thanks needed Shuri. You and I have made great friends this game. I know Travis just wants to win for himself. I�d rather it be a toss up between you and I. Shuri: Me too. You and I sounds fantastic. Kimber: But please, don�t let word of this travel to Travis or Eloy ok? Last thing I need is either of them drilling me right before Tribal. Shuri: Alright, you�re secret is safe with me Kimber. Kimber: Okay, yey. Make sure Sebastian understands everything. Shuri: Got is covered. Eloy: So this round I hadn't really spoken to anyone except Travis really. Yesterday when the challenge came out, Shuri of course wanted to know how I was voting. She was real nice which I knew she was bullshitting. But I told her I wanted to wait until the immunity was given out before I decided. And before I knew it Sebastian had won immunity. He was lucky because I�m sure he would have been next to go. So now I�m a bit worried because I know Travis has my back but I don�t know where Kimber stands. I know definitely Shuri and Sebastian will be coming for me of course. And she let me know what was going to happen. I know people think that I don't deserve to win since I wanted to quit twice. The first time was because of what Joel supposedly done, which I really don't believe anymore. Shuri is very sneaky and I think people just fall for he threats and games. I'm such an idiot because I liked her early one!!! And the second time was to keep a friend in, so I was willing to sacrifice myself. But right now I feel I�m playing for second place. I think it�s prolly what I deserve but then I think that I've made the first half of the game without an alliance. And the 2nd part of the game I only aligned with Travis. I think I�ve done alright in this game. But I'm sure people won't be able to get over the fact that I wanted to pussy out. But it�s cool either way. I just hope Travis wins then. Kimber: Tonight�s vote is awful. Why am I always feeling like I�m stuck in the middle? I really wish I hated some people playing this game because it would make the vote a lot harder. Pieces of me are telling my to go with my heart and true friendship. The other part of me is screaming to go with strategy and do what is best for me. Like many times in this game I�m torn right now and I can�t make up my mind. What is helping me is thinking how far I�ve come. Since those first horrible losses on old Rio, to here, the final five. I can�t just hand the game over to someone else at this point; this vote can cost anyone the game. Travis: I�ve done all I can to try and make the final four exactly how I want it with me, Eloy, Kimber and good old Sebastian. If things go my way that�s great, and if not I�m probably the next one off anyway so this can make or break me. All I can do it wait until the votes are read and either party or cry�we will see. [Tribal Council #12- Punto Tombo Tribe] Sandros: All right Punto Tombo, come on in for the 12th Tribal Council. Five of you remain, but only 1 of you will win. Lets start this council with some questions...Sebastian; this is your first time winning immunity. A few people have pointed towards you when asked who doesn't deserve to be here, does winning immunity help you refute their claim? Sebastian: Well I'm good at unscrambling words, and right when I saw it, I knew I had it especially when all the words had to deal with survivor, so I'm happy I won otherwise I'd be voted off. I honestly don't care if people don't think I deserve to be here, I do, and hopefully at final 4 I can advance further then that. Sandros: Eloy, there has been talk of you quitting the last couple of tribal councils. How are you feeling going into this council? Are you worried that you will be on the chopping block again? Eloy: Well to be honest, I had thought of being the fall guy to get voted out the previous rounds to keep someone in. I didn't think he deserved to go at that time. It had nothing to do with me just wanted a fair game. And I�m actually referring to Landon a couple of rounds ago. I didn't think he deserved to go at that time, and Ray ended up taking the fall. As for this round, I'm feeling somewhat unsafe. I believe I'm the only one left who doesn't have a final 2 or final 3 alliance with anyone left in the game. I hear its coming down to me and Shuri. Shuri let me know that Kimber, Sebastian and her were voting me out. And then showed her immaturity once again. But little does she know that her ass is on the chopping block too. So I'm going to assume that it�s coming down to Shuri and me. And I also think its going to come down to one person's vote in particular. If I�m correct it should be a 3-2 vote. And if Shuri is voted out, I personally will be thrilled. I just wish this were a real game so I can see the look on that bitch's face. She thought she had the game wrapped up. If she's still here and I'm gone, then its understandable and I hope to see her in the jury next round. Sandros: Travis, It's down to final five. This vote must be a tough one. Are you surprised by anybody who is still here? What are you basing your vote on tonight? Feeling vulnerable without immunity? Travis: To be honest, yes I'm surprised by who is still here. But probably more accurately, I'm surprised by who's not here. Many of the strong personalities I thought would still be here are gone. However, I've gotten to know everybody here and believe that they all deserve to be here in their own way. This vote is very tough. I am basing my vote tonight on strategy, and who I believe doesn't deserve to win, for my own reasons. I am feeling increasingly vulnerable every tribal council, especially now that it is so close to the end. I have to basically put my life in this game in other people's hands, and that is rough sometimes. Sandros: Kimber, It's safe to say that old tribal lines have disappeared as the game gets closer to the end. Right now, old Magellan has a 3-2 advantage over old Rio. Do you believe that old tribal lines are still playing a role in voting? Kimber: Tribal lines disappeared a long time ago in this game. However, they are always in the back of my head. To this point, I have been using the other tribe to get farther in the game. This tribal council, I think that old tribal lines will be playing a slightly more important role then before. Sorry girl, hahaha. Sandros: Shuri, the past couple immunities, regardless of having or not having immunity, you've been very confident. Going into this tribal council, are you still as confident? If so, where is all your confidence coming from, this late in the game? If not, what happened that made you lose it? Shuri: I am as confident as ever. I feel like I have been in power for a very long time, dictating who will go home and who will stay. I have a couple people in my pocket, and have never been out of majority. Tonight, someone who I have wanted to go home for a very long time will finally go home, and I will be ecstatic. I believe I am in a very good position to win this game. Sandros: Once the votes are read the decision is final. Person voted out will be asked to leave the tribal council area immediately...I'll read the votes... First vote... Shuri... Second vote... Eloy Third vote... Eloy Fourth vote... Shuri... Thats 2 for Eloy, and 2 for Shuri. I'll read the last vote..... 12th person voted out of Patagonia... 4th member of our Jury... SHURI!!!! I'm sorry but after 33 days out here in Patagonia... THE TRIBE HAS SPOKEN!! By a vote of 3-2. Sandros: Shuri you played a great game. Please send me your final words on your overall experience here in the game. Your favorite moments, your worst memories, your best strategic move, your downfall, let me know it all girl!! Thanks for a great game and I'll see you on the jury! As for the now final 4...Sebastian, Kimber, Travis and Eloy. There 6 days left in this game....make them worth it! Please send me confessionals on how you feel about this last vote. Next Immunity treEmail will be sent out 2morrow. You can head back to camp now... [Shuri's Final Words] There was only so much I could do in this situation. Kimber, I really feel betrayed by you. I don't know what I would do if you made it to the finals against someone else. You should have stuck by me like we always intended. Sorry you had to backstab to win. Eloy, having you in the game while I am now out, is the thing that hurts me the most about leaving. I hope to goodness that you do next. Travis no hard feelings you're playing an amazing game. I love you Seb! [Shuri's Reason] I vote for Eloy. Finally it is his time to go. [Sebastian's Reason] Eloy just because the numbers are getting smaller and I've voted you before. Why not do it again. [Travis' Reason] I'm just sick of having Shuri around. [Eloy's Reason] Shuri is a bitch and I hope this is the vote that sends her home! [Kimber's Reason] Shuri this is killing me to do this. It just comes down to my first alliance. I have to stick with it.
