Day Nine

Mablevi Tribe
Day nine was filled with worry for the Mablevi Tribe. These guys knew that that they probably had the weakest tribe, and that they would be hard-pressed to win another challenge. Wells and Dirks began to press Trotman hard to side with them in the event of another tribal council. Trotman would not be so quick as to make a decision this early. Meanwhile, Wilson was beginning to show his forte for fishing. He caught a small shark on this day, and the rest of the tribe began to think that maybe Wilson would be good to keep around.

Takiyah Tribe
While not worried that they would be heading to tribal council any time soon, Cowin and Cameron began to consider their options when required to vote someone else out. Wylie was not an early option because he is pretty feisty and prolly pretty smart too. It was becoming obvious that they would either stick with Pickering and keep Trevor around, or form a new alliance with big Pitman and keep the Bash Brothers going. It wasn’t becoming an urgent problem, but it was something that they were beginning to consider.

Runako Tribe
It was on day nine that Damien confronted Silas to try and save his survivor life. Damien, being a very good salesman, told Silas that he would be much better to keep around than Hackett and Clarke. Silas was listening but at this time not taking Damien too seriously. Hackett really didn’t have much of a place in the tribe, but he was not annoying, or a serious threat, so it didn’t seem that voting Hackett out at this point was very important. Clarke on the other hand was becoming more and more of an outcast with Ryan, but not annoying like Damien. Clarke began talking to Hackett instead, to see if he could find some safety there.

Immunity Challenge
All five members would be tied together and required to walk through knee deep water with 50 lbs of weight on their backs. There would be a rope circle in the water and each tribe would be an equal distance from eachother. The object of the game is to catch the other tribes. If one tribe is caught from behind they are eliminated and will head to tribal council. If a person is tired and wants to leave the game then they must give their weights to someone else on the tribe. If no tribe is caught, then the last person walking will win immunity for their tribe. Mablevi and Takiyah choose to sit out Silas from Runako.

Early on, Wilson, Binny, and Hackett drop out of the game, leaving Wells, Trotman and Jones with 100 lbs a piece. Trevor and Wylie drop out next, leaving Cowin and Pitman with 100 lbs. Damien dropped out too, leaving Clarke with 100 lbs too. Dirks and Clarke then dropped out, leaving Trotman and Jones with 150, and Wells and Ryan with 100. Unfortunately, Takiyah started behind Mablevi, and Cowin reached the back of Trotman, and Mablevi lost the challenge.

Mablevi before Tribal Council
It was now crunch time for Dirks and Wells, because they were outnumbered 3-2 by the Pickering guys, but they knew that if one of them were to be eliminated, Mablevi would lose again, and the other one would be out next. Without being threatening, they confronted Trotman again, and tried to get him to consider voting Binny out. Trotman was not sure what to do.
