Misfits Alert

Misfits Alert is the second episode of Survivor: Africa.

Day 3 (Night)
The Samburu tribe returns to camp having just attended the first tribal council of the game, where Roland became the first castaway voted out. Briallen and Renato immediately feel out of place, having voted against Luigino, whilst the five others in camp joined up to oust Roland. Before anyone can make any comments, Luigino walks over to Renato and Briallen, extending his hand in an attempt to receive a handshake.

The group eagerly decide who should go and collect the water, knowing that with matches they will now be able to get a fire going to boil it. However, David suggests that the tribe stay put, citing the dangerous animals outside the shelter as a reason to stay put until the sun rises, not wanting to see anyone else go down through sickness or injury.

Boran
A majority of the Boran tribe sit around the now burning fire, having been awake for a good hour, enjoying the luxury of drinking clean boiled water. The only members of Boran still asleep are Don and Neville, who are left undisturbed by their tribe members. Abbas sits tending the fire, pouring out cooled down clean water for his tribe members, who continue to praise his strong work ethic around camp. Mary sits behind Kris, checking his sunburn, stating that it looks less "angry", and that she believes her remedy has worked. Whilst the group are talking, Phillis decides to question Mary and Marsha on their friendship, which has become particularly apparent to the entire group. Phillis jokes that the two are "blatantly aligned", evoking nervous laughter from the two ladies. Kris then joins in, claiming that he too believes they are working together. The conversation suddenly turns to a suggestion, with Phillis making a throw away comment that the six of them should "work together". "boran"

- I saw the door was somewhat ajar, so I decided to smash through it... (laughs)

The entire group stay silent after Phillis' comment, signaling that the six are happy to work together as an alliance. Don is heard snoring by the tribe, causing Phillis and Kris to burst out laughing. "boran"

- It's quite funny how we're all sitting here making an alliance, and the two old guys are just snoring away... oblivious.

"boran"

- Although I am now working with both Mary and Marsha, I do realize that they're most likely aligned together in a small two person deal. This means that when we get down to the point where our alliance turn on one another, they'll be working together. It may be wiser down the road to consider taking one of them out before our enemies, that way we isolate the other... That way I can also make sure that person stays loyal to me... Its a cutthroat game out here and I'm willing to play it... Who needs friends at the end of the day?

"boran"

- I think Phillis is a smart girl... She knows how this game should be played. I want to work with her, and I'm glad she created this bigger alliance... But my gut tells me not to trust her... Something about her just seems... off. She reminds me of a teacher I had at school when I was younger... a truly horrible lady... which is odd considering I'm about ten years older then Phillis... (shakes her head and laughs)

Soledad sits quietly after the creation of the six person alliance, leading Marsha to ask whether she's ok, to which she replies that she is. Don begins to wake up, smiling over to his tribe mates, causing Soledad to feel even more guilt for her close friend, whom she now knows is outside her alliance. "boran"

- I wanted to avoid the alliance that was created this morning, for two main reasons. Firstly, there's too many of us... Too many cooks spoil the broth as they say. We're going to clash and really embarrass ourselves... I don't see the alliance lasting up until the final six like Phillis is preaching. The second reason is that poor old Don wanted to get an hours extra sleep this morning because he sat up last night keeping 'watch'... Because he wasn't there with the group he's now vulnerable in this game, and that upsets me because if anything I'd vote out the other five over Don. I think I'll just keep doing what I'm doing... and hopefully somehow I can keep him safe long enough to change the six person alliance to suit my needs.

After both Don and Neville arise from their beds, the tribe decide to get to work on making a roof for their shelter, feeling as though they will bake in the sun if they fail to create some shade to cool themselves off. Soledad once again steps into the leadership role, giving her tribe mates instructions on what to do, much to the annoyance of Neville. "boran"

- I don't know who gave her the leadership position out here. What qualifications does she have to be a leader? She's not strong, she doesn't run a business... She's c**p in challenges from what I've seen! There are others in this tribe who would be better at leading this group... namely myself.

"boran"

- I have no qualms with Soledad running the tribe... She has her head screwed on and is a respectable woman. She is the kind of person you want on your side because you can see she does have the makings of a strong player.

Don, Abbas, Neville and Kris work on putting up the roofing on the shelter, creating a small corner where the survivors can go to get out of the sun. Soledad, Marsha, Mary and Phillis collect the branches necessary to make the roof, all working together well to get it built quickly. "boran"

- The sun out here really does cook you alive. Today is extremely hot, and we've got little areas we can hide ourselves. We got to work building the roof and it really worked out well, I mean I know I like it. This'll also save us from drying out so much and drinking water excessively... We've been doing that a lot recently and the more some people drink the more they throw up with their bodies almost rejecting the fluids...

"boran"

- When I got Mary and Marsha on their own whilst we collected some branches I decided to get things moving pronto. Phillis was off elsewhere, so it was a good time to question whether they really want to keep Don as an enemy of our alliance just because the six of us were together at the time of creation. They both seemed receptive, willing to listen to the reasons we should bring Don in... It's the first step in redoing everything Phillis created... I don't want to be in someone else's alliance, I want to be in my own... One I created.

"boran"

- Soledad is fond of Don, and I think everyone is aware of that. It seems only natural she will kick up a fuss when Don is left out of the core alliance... It doesn't mean Don is going home so I don't understand why its made her so... strategically aggressive? She does need to be more concerned with herself then Don at this point... Yesterday I was told that my heart would get me into trouble, and I'm sure it will... Maybe the same advice needs to be given to Soledad.

Samburu
Renato, David and Adela walk off to collect water in the early hours of day four, whilst Luigino tends to the newly lit fire back at camp. Renato stumbles during the walk, still clearly suffering from poor health, despite his best attempt at assuring the tribe he is fine. The three tribe members walk back to camp after collecting water, giving Renato time to talk with his opposition.

Upon returning to camp, Luigino immediately begins boiling the water, whilst Adela awakens Ingrid, Phoebe and Briallen. The tribe surround the fire, all eager to finally get some water, having gone without for several days. Renato opens a can of beans, handing it over to Luigino to cook for the tribes breakfast. After several minutes of cooking and boiling, the tribe sit down to enjoy their first proper nourishment of the game, all laughing and smiling whilst eating and drinking together.

Halfway during breakfast, Phoebe quickly stands up, before moving over to the entrance of the shelter. Ingrid places her food down, following Phoebe, concerned as to why she has run off.

Phoebe begins to vomit, holding her head down as she does so. Ingrid stands behind her, gently rubbing her back, holding her hair up to make sure she doesn't vomit on it.

Phoebe is slowly taken into the shade by Ingrid, with David and Adela trying to make sure their friend is alright. Briallen, Renato and Luigino clean up the breakfast, keeping any leftovers to the side, leaving the others to make sure Phoebe is alright. Whilst cleaning up, Briallen looks over at Phoebe, who is clearly in poor health.

The tribe leave Phoebe to rest, knowing that she needs to get her health up for the challenges. Ingrid sits with Phoebe in the shade, pouring water on her head to make sure she keeps cool. Despite Ingrid's best intentions, several tribe members become annoyed by this, feeling as though she is slacking off her duties around camp. David and Renato talk amongst themselves about Ingrid, with David particularly annoyed at Ingrid's decision to rest as opposed to working. As the tribe continue working throughout the day, Renato once again appears weak, going extremely pale, with his hands shaking as he sits down to rest.

Day 5
Challenge: Stairway to the Stars Each tribe has five logs. The goal is to transport the five logs from the start position through a series of obstacles to a tower, where they must build a staircase. The first tribe to successfully build the staircase and have one member race to the top of the tower wins. Reward: Blankets, an extra supply of canned food, lamps, water containers and some items that they have left from the truck in Day 1. Winner: Samburu

Boran
The Boran tribe returns to camp having just lost the reward challenge, all feeling slightly demoralized knowing that Samburu now has an advantage due to the amount of supplies they just earned. The group sit around camp, taking a moment to think about their loss before moving onto their daily chores. Marsha, Mary and Kris go off outside the shelter to collect some firewood, whilst the others stay around camp, working on their shelters interior. "boran"

- We sucked in todays challenge. I mean we did really bad in comparison to Samburu. For them to say they have sick members, only to kick our butts like that... its quite embarrassing. Today was an eye opener in that our men aren't as strong as they claim... Abbas did brilliantly as usual... Kris and Don struggled today... I mean poor Don... He's a sixty four year old trying to lift as much as twenty year olds... Neville is just... He's as weak as he is lazy.

"boran"

- No one elected Soledad to lead this tribe. I know I mention his on a daily basis but its out of hand how poor she is as a leader... Yet no one is willing to speak up! She asked me to help her and Abbas put more freakin' branches in the perimeter... No! You don't need three people to do a one man job! So I went over and helped Phillis move our supplies over to the shade... If my resistance to Soledad's leadership makes them all hate me... So be it... If I do one thing out here it'll be showing her up as the bitch she is.

"boran"

- Neville is disrespectful... He's loud, aggressive and lazy. I'm still waiting for his big reveal that he is really good at... swimming... or puzzles... But still I sit around waiting to know what he'll do to help this tribe, as opposed to hinder it.

Neville walks off, helping Phillis move the tribes supplies into the shade, leaving Don to help Soledad and Abbas with the perimeter. The three work together well, with the boys trying to support an emotional Soledad, who is clearly losing all patience with Neville.

"boran"

- I aim to avoid getting involved in other peoples drama, as I don't think shouting is the best way to get things dealt with... But when it comes down to backing someone up I'm happy to do that after... I'll work with Soledad going forward, and I'll take her side when she needs me to do so.

"boran"

- It was good to get the back up I needed from Abbas and Don. I now don't feel as though I'm being this typical bitch who cant control herself when she gets power. I will keep "leading" the group if they're comfortable with me doing so, and I'll make sure to keep people around who both deserve to be here, and make me feel secure... Abbas and Don are prime examples of individuals who I want to play this game with. Neville doesn't know what he's doing, and I'll make sure he's the first one out of this tribe.

Outside the shelter, Marsha, Mary and Kris continue collecting firewood, taking time to enjoy their surroundings, observing the beauty of the untouched land. The group spot some giraffes off in the distance, causing all three to become excited, wanting to get a better look at one of natures giants. Kris climbs a tree in order to get a better look, whilst Marsha and Mary stand below him, looking towards the giraffes from ground level. "boran"

- Africa is just the most beautiful place I have ever been. Looking over at these creatures gives you a whole new respect for... everything. We think our lives are urban cities, or... paying the bills. It's so much more! There's all this land out here for us to come and see... to experience... to interact with.

The group stay and watch the animals, before getting back to work as soon as they move on. Marsha jokes with Kris, telling him to get down or he'll fall, to which he responds by swinging on a branch trying to imitate a monkey, much to Marsha's amusement. Mary and Marsha begin poking Kris with sticks, both laughing in the process.

Kris jumps down from the tree, making Mary and Marsha step back, allowing Kris to land heavily on the ground. Kris grabs his leg, groaning in pain, causing the girls to run over to check on him.

Before Marsha can run off, Kris stops groaning, letting go of his leg, before laughing at both girls, revealing that he was just faking an injury to wind them up. Marsha lightly taps Kris, telling him not to do that, as she could have had a heart attack. The three continue laughing, before grabbing their things and heading back to camp. "boran"

- Its nice to make people laugh out here... it takes us away from the s**t reality that we're starving. Making people laugh is what I do I guess... I am a bit of a joker... Don't take life too seriously... Why would you want to? That'd be boring... I'll take it seriously when I'm old and like... forty.

"boran"

- It was nice bonding with Kris as he's not someone I've really talked to since gettin' here. Also strengthening my relationship with Mary will always come in handy as she and I want to keep our trust mutual. Its good to know that Kris has fully recovered thanks to Mary's voodoo hoodoo medicine stuff... Made him act like a monkey in the tree... Maybe I'll have a little bit of that when I get hurt (laughs). Mother Africa has been good to us today though... Not too hot. Got our own private safari... it made any losses today seem forgettable. I mean, what reward challenge? (she smiles and laughs)

Samburu
The Samburu tribe return to camp having just won the reward challenge, earning themselves a large amount of supplies. The tribe celebrate their win after placing their new supplies with their old ones, opening two cans of fruit for the tribe to enjoy. Phoebe initially refuses any, but after some persuasion from Adela, takes her share of fruit, managing to keep it down after eating it. The group decide that the only task they need to do is to collect water, electing Renato, Adela and David to collect it. The three head off, taking their new cart with them, making carrying the water an easier task. Luigino sits alone sorting through the tribes supplies, whilst Phoebe and Ingrid both sit together talking. Briallen goes off by herself, feeling somewhat isolated by her tribe.

Phoebe and Ingrid discuss their positions in the tribe, with Phoebe claiming that she doesn't care if the others turn on her, as she doesn't know how much more she can take. Ingrid tries to change the topic, not wanting to hear Phoebe talking so negatively.

Whilst collecting the water, Adela, David and Renato discuss the quality of what they're bringing back, wondering whether the water is what has made Phoebe so sick. Renato decides to bring up Ingrid's laziness, claiming that he feels she should be a candidate to leave if they lose another challenge. David nods along to what Renato is saying, feeling as though Ingrid is a floating vote, and to remove her would make things more predictable.

Whilst pulling the cart back to camp, Renato takes another tumble, once again panting heavily. Adela and David stand by him, allowing him to rest before moving.

After Renato gets back on his feet, he walks slowly alongside the cart, whilst Adela and David drag it along. The group walk into camp, taking Renato over to the shade where Ingrid and Phoebe sit. Luigino gets started on boiling the water, with Briallen helping him. David tries to see what he can do to help the weaker contestants on his tribe.

Day 6
Both tribes receive tree mail informing them that they will be facing their next immunity challenge. Boran strategize as to who will sit out, narrowing it down to Soledad and Marsha, deciding that they will pick who sits out upon seeing what the challenge itself is. "boran"

- Tree mail insinuated that today would involve eating something... disgusting. I don't think I'll be able to do that... I don't eat ninety percent of foods just because I'm so fussy.

Challenge: Safari Supper One at a time, members from both tribes must drink a shot of cow's blood. If at any time a person declines to drink or does not finish, that team is disqualified. If all members of both tribes complete the task, a tiebreaker is set. Each tribe must pick a member from the other tribe to chug a full glass of cow's blood. The first to finish wins the full glass wins. Winner: Boran Information (Boran): The entire tribe manage to get the cows blood down, with only Marsha somewhat struggling during the challenge, leading them to an easy victory. Information (Samburu): Adela, David, Ingrid and Luigino all drink the cows blood with ease. Phoebe and Renato somewhat struggle during the challenge, but manage to eventually get the beverage down. Briallen is unable to drink her cows blood, spitting it back up after trying to swallow it countless times, costing her tribe the win.

Samburu
Samburu return to camp having just lost their second immunity challenge, meaning after tribal council they will be down two members. The tribe all sit down, displaying a defeated attitude. Briallen sits by Renato, feeling as though one of them will be leaving in several hours, worried it'll be her for costing the tribe the challenge. Phoebe sits with Ingrid, not caring about strategy, feeling as though she herself is ready to go home.

Luigino, Adela and David sit by the fire together, talking quietly, trying to decide who should be the next to leave the tribe.

} Adela goes off to speak with Phoebe and Ingrid, trying to convince them that as an alliance they need to target Renato. However, Phoebe becomes demoralized by this, having hoped that she'd be the one going home. Ingrid tries to back Adela up, attempting to talk Phoebe into voting her way. David speaks with Renato, who asks if they're good on voting Ingrid, which David admits he is unsure about, stating that he will get back to him. Renato then goes to speak with Luigino, hoping to find another vote on his side. Luigino claims that he'd love to vote for Ingrid, but that it will only work if David joins them, as without him they will be in a minority.

At tribal council the group discuss ways in which they can win challenges. The majority of them claim that voting out weak people would grant them immunity, when asked what "weak" is, the group claim that sick people are weak, and that lazy people are weak. Luigino speaks up, condemning both Ingrid and Phoebe for their lack of effort around camp, whilst highlighting that both Renato and Phoebe are sick. Jeff questions the group whether Phoebe's "laziness and illness" would mean that she is the main target, but the group remain silent, with no one apparently gunning for her. Phoebe herself speaks up, claiming that she would be happy to leave the game, which is met by a laugh from Briallen, who shakes her head in disbelief. Renato admits that he feels it could be him, feeling as though his illness is taking a toll on the tribe, but he mentions that within "the next few days" he'll be well again. Ingrid starts the voting, with each member confidently casting their vote. As the votes are revealed, it is Renato who leaves the game in a 5-2 vote, with David deciding to stick with his alliance, keeping Luigino in line as well. As Renato stands, his entire tribe stand in respect, hugging him as their original leader exits the game. Renato wishes everyone luck, with clear disappointment in his voice, before leaving the tribal council area. The remaining six members head back to camp, with Briallen feeling completely isolated, having lost her only ally in the game.
