Survivor: Solomon Islands - Tulagi Tribe Campground

*lays in the sand, thinking about the last 38 days*

[hollylockets]

The final three begin the long hike towards their final immunity challenge on Day 38.
A few minutes into the hike, they come upon the first torch, KOB's. Kailey approaches it and turns to Daniel.

Kailey: Daniel, we never got a chance to really meet KOB, did you know him?

Daniel: He was pretty much asleep the whole time unfortunately, as far as I know, the only thing he actually DID was sign up for the game.

Holly: *laughs*

Kailey grabs KOB's torch and the three continue their hike for a while, taking in the scenery until they reach the second torch, Glinda's.

Holly: She was pretty much the same as KOB, she didn't do anything and I don't think she even knew she was playing.

Daniel: You guys had that happen too?

Kailey: Yeah, but I guess that's why she was first out.

Holly takes Glinda's torch and follows the other two down the path. Soon after, they reach the third torch, Tayvie's.

Holly: Daniel?

Daniel: He was pretty much the same as KOB, frankly I didn't mind him going early, he reminded me of a racist I met once.

Kailey: Glad I never knew him then.

Daniel pulls Tayvie's torch out of the ground before they continue the hike. They quickly find out that the fourth torch, Morgan's was laid on the ground, to symbolize her quitting the game on day 12.

Daniel: Who was Morgan again?

Kailey: She quit, and she was never really playing.

Holly: Yeah, frankly it made me angry, quitting a game like this ruins the fun.

Holly picks up the torch and approaches the cliffside, before she throws the torch off of the cliff into the waves. The three move forward to the 5th torch, Danielle's.

Kailey: I wish I'd gotten to know her better before she got voted out, she seemed really nice.

Daniel: Did you know her Holly?

Holly: I started to, but I never got the chance to really know her, it's a shame she had to leave so early. I liked her.

Kailey takes Danielle's torch and the three move on to the 6th torch, Shiloh's.

Daniel: She was only in the new Tapurai tribe for a short while before she got voted out, and she wasn't very talkative, all I know about her is that she seemed like she was good in the first challenge.

Kailey: Yeah, she really surprised me, and then surprised me more when-

Holly: -She fell asleep partway through the damn game and never woke up?

All Three: *laughs*

Daniel takes Shiloh's torch and the three hike to a higher part of the cliff with a beautiful view of the ocean, a fitting place for everyone who made it to the merge. Holly walks up to the first post-merge elimination's torch, Superboy's.

Holly: Superboy, Superboy, Superboy.

Kailey: I honestly thought he was gonna vote me out the week he was voted out.

Holly: Me too!

Daniel: Same here! I'm just glad I won immunity, it's a shame he just missed out on being a jury member.

Kailey: Yeah...

Holly takes Superboy's torch after smiling at it for a moment, reflecting on the chaos of that first merge vote. The three continue onward to the torch belonging to the first jury member, JC.

Daniel: Here's another one I thought was going to vote me out. I'm also pretty sure she would have won if she made it to the end.

Kailey: I agree, she was really nice, and that was threatening.

Holly: *remembers JC's glare every single tribal council* Well... She's certainly passionate, I can respect that.

Daniel takes JC's torch and the three continue onto the next torch, belonging to the second jury member, Stan.

Holly: Oh Stan! I really wish we'd gotten to work together, I really liked you.

Daniel: I remember early on, I saw him as a huge threat to me, I really grew to like him though.

Kailey: I agree with you Daniel, I thought he was a great player.

Kailey grabs Stan's torch and follows Daniel and Holly along the cliffside until they reach the third jury member's torch, belonging to Brooke.

Kailey: I really liked Brooke, it's a shame we had to vote her out.

Holly: Yeah, she was a really smart player and great in challenges too.

Daniel: I think she was one of the saddest eliminations.

Holly and Kailey: *nods*

Kailey takes Brooke's torch and the three of them pause for a moment before continuing on to the torch belonging to the fourth jury member, Magnum.

Daniel: He was a really nice guy, he really took his elimination well.

Holly: I agree, I regret not getting to know him while I had the chance to.

Kailey: Yeah, hopefully he's doing okay.

Holly pulls Magnum's torch out of the ground and the three move forward toward the fifth jury member's torch, Outlast's.

Daniel: The first member of the newbie alliance voted out. You know, I think even after he voted people out, they were still rooting for him.

Holly: Yeah, I don't think a single person disliked him, I feel like we got along really well during the game, I hope we can be friends afterward.

Kailey: Anybody could see he was passionate about the game.

Holly: I think he had every jury vote locked to be honest, that's actually really impressive.

Daniel grabs Outlast's torch and the three of them look up to the top of the cliff, at the final torch belonging to the sixth jury member, Jimmy. They approach it and pause for a second.

Kailey: He was a fighter, up until the very end he kept playing and he went out swinging.

Daniel: Even though he knew we were a threesome, he stayed loyal to us, and that's really admirable.

After a long pause, Kailey and Daniel look at Holly, who approaches Jimmy's torch.

Holly: I tried to trust you, I wanted to trust you, because I really liked you as a person and respected you as not only a player, but as a friend. But I saw the signs over and over and I knew I couldn't trust you. At the very least though, I thought that our friendship was real, but then you told me it wasn't, and that cut deep, Jimmy.

After a long pause, Holly grabs Jimmy's torch, and pauses once more before the three of them press onward.


They come upon a large ceremonial bonfire decorated with flowers and tribal artifacts. Their own torches were standing in front of the unlit bonfire.
One by one, they place the torches of the previous players into the bonfire, and attach a flower and a few beads to each torch.
Grabbing their own lit torches, they proceed to light the bonfire, and stand before it, watching the torches of their friends and competitors light up one final time.

After about an hour of standing in silence, reflecting on the game up until this point, they continue onward towards their final immunity challenge.

[Daniel]

Exhausted from the challenge!!

Tribal Council #14: Tulagi Tribe

The final three survivors walk into the tribal council area with their torches, and sit down on their stumps to complete the final vote off of the season.

We will now bring in the jury. 

JC, Stan, Brooke, Magnum, Outlast and Jimmy walk in and sit down in the jury section.

JC, Stan, Brooke, Magnum, Outlast, and Jimmy voted out at the last tribal council. 

Alright, I'd like to start off this tribal council with a congratulations to Daniel. You won immunity today which grants you a spot in the final two and a 50/50 shot at winning the million dollars. 

Holly and Kailey both pat Daniel on the back and congratulate him. 

However, tonight we are still going to get rid of one more person to complete the jury over there. 

The jurors all give death stares to the final three except Stan and Magnum who are playing patty cake. 

Before Daniel makes the sole vote to send either Holly or Kailey packing, I'll ask a few questions. 

Daniel, how does it feel to know you cannot be voted out tonight with that immunity around your neck and you have a spot in the final two?

Kailey and Holly, how do you think Daniel is going to make his decision tonight? 

To all, are you worried about how the jury might perceive you and your game if you make the final two? 

Holly, what would your case for Daniel to keep you over Kailey?

Daniel, how hard of a decision is it to send one of these two girls who have been with you through this whole merge over to the jury? 

Kailey, what would your case for Daniel to keep you over Holly?

Please answer these questions on this thread when you can.

Daniel, since you have immunity tonight, you will be the deciding vote on who goes home since Holly can only vote for Kailey and Kailey can only vote for Holly. Those two will not vote. If you vote off the wrong person, it'll cost you a million dollars, if you make the right decision, you set yourself up to win the game. Please send me your vote along with a brief message by tomorrow at 3 pm site time. 

[hollylockets]

Kailey and Holly, how do you think Daniel is going to make his decision tonight?

I think he's going to make his decision based on how he feels about Kailey and I, and also how the jury might feel about us.

To all, are you worried about how the jury might perceive you and your game if you make the final two?

Oh I know there's going to be a lot of harsh words directed towards me if I'm in the final 2. Because I lied and backstabbed my way here, and I know they aren't happy about it.

Holly, what would your case for Daniel to keep you over Kailey?

Well, as much as I'd like to say I played well, I think my biggest and most fatal flaw has been jury management, and I'm pretty sure just about all of them wouldn't want me to win after what I did to them. And Kailey hasn't really ever stepped on anybody's toes to get here, and nobody really has a legitimate reason to dislike her at all.

[kailey]

Kailey and Holly, how do you think Daniel is going to make his decision tonight?
I think Daniel will make his decision based off of who he thinks he will have the best chance of winning against in the final tribal council. 
To all, are you worried about how the jury might perceive you and your game if you make the final two?
Um, yes. They will want to know how i ended up getting there. 
Kailey, what would your case for Daniel to keep you over Holly?
This is a really hard question to answer because I don't have anything bad to say against Holly. She never did anything to me personally. And while she did "backstab" members of the jury, she was playing the game. And I'm sure there are members of the jury who see that she really did play the game, and they may vote her because of that.

[Daniel]

Sry to hold this up but I don't have time to post answers and send my vote now and will have to do it around 2am :/

[Daniel]

Sorry for the hold up but this is not a decision that should be taken in 10 seconds cuz whoever is gonna be voted out doesn't deserve that k....

Daniel, how does it feel to know you cannot be voted out tonight with that immunity around your neck and you have a spot in the final two?
It feels good of course but also kind of bittersweet since I don't like to make this decision.

To all, are you worried about how the jury might perceive you and your game if you make the final two?
Worried is not the right word, let's just say that I'm prepared for what's going to happen and I have peace with that no matter what

Daniel, how hard of a decision is it to send one of these two girls who have been with you through this whole merge over to the jury?
It is very hard. There are many things that play a role here. I know that one of them will probably SLAY me in the Final Council but that is also the person who literally gave me life in this game by reaching out to me and from a loyalty point of view it's hard to vote that person out.

If you vote off the wrong person, it'll cost you a million dollars, if you make the right decision, you set yourself up to win the game.
That might be a very true statement and I will probably look dumb but it is what it is and no regrets.

Tribal Council #14: Tulagi Tribe
Reading the Votes

Alright, Daniel, go ahead and make your vote for who you want to be the final member of the jury.

Daniel gets up and goes to vote. After a couple minutes, Daniel sadly walks back to the tribal area and sits down, avoiding eye contact with the girls.

I'll go get the vote.

Nate gets up and returns with the pot.

Alright, once the vote is read, the decision is final. The person voted out will be asked to leave the tribal council area immediately. I'll read the vote.

Nate opens the vote.

Fourteenth person voted out of Survivor: Solomon Islands and the final member of the jury....

Nate flips the vote around.











Kailey. Kailey, I'm sorry. Please grab your torch for me.

Kailey gets up and brings her torch over to Nate.

Well Kailey, after 38 hard-fought days...the tribe has spoken.

Nate snuffs Kailey's torch and Kailey waves goodbye to Daniel and Holly as they wave back.

Well you two, you made the final two. Tomorrow night, those six jurors...

Nate points to the jury.

...and Kailey, will be deciding your fate in this game. I have a feeling a storm is coming tomorrow night. You two better get some rest. Grab your stuff and head back to camp. Congratulations and good night. 

[Daniel]

Sorry girl

[hollylockets]

Thanks for taking me Daniel!
Kailey, you were such an amazing ally in this game, thank you so much for all you've done! I wish it could have been final three so we all could be sitting at the end.

[kailey]

No hard feelings Daniel. Bye guys, good luck to you both!
