Sandros: My final 7 minus Richard, welcome welcome welcome! I want to start off by first congratulating each and everyone of you for making it to this point. We started with 24 players, and we’re now down to 7. Great accomplishment all of you. Tonight things are working a bit differently with everyone voting for 2 different castaways - 2 people will be leaving. As you know Skylar and Tom are immune, so yeah. Let’s get to the questions. Donna, you were also eliminated from the challenge, how did that make you feel? How has camp life been the past few days since Zoe's exit? Do you think you deserve to be here?
Donna: I felt bad being eliminated. I thought I was answering questions that weren't answered. Camp has been quiet since Zoe left. I definitely deserve to be here. I am active and good at challenges. Wish I would win one...lol!
Sandros: Well if after this vote you are still here, hopefully you will give your best shot at the next challenge. Skylar, I feel like everytime you're here Landon or I are saying good job on Immunity. How does it feel for a 3rd time in a row? Gimme a little thought on where you stand on this tribe, what if you hadn't won this challenge?
Skylar: Well to be honest with u Sandy I really didn't expect to win. Of course I wanted to win, but I definitely didn't expect to win going into this challenge. Deighton warned me that it was his and Donna's plan to throw the challenge so I would a been voted off, I'm really glad to see what you switched it up from previous seasons that for sure. When I saw that I was actually playing against both of them I felt a bit better. Winning for this 3rd time, let's just say these wins are my saving grace. As for where I stand in this group of 7...for once I'm not the lowest on the totem poll yess! Since 2 people are leaving tonight I've gotten all these different offers, vote this way, vote that way...Its really funny because this past couple of hours is the most anybody has spoken to me since the merger, besides Conny and Zoe. I can say one thing, I stand next to a few people who basically stand in the same spot as I do...as innocent bystanders to "other" peoples "strategy." Not for long...Oh yeah...one last thing....Hey Deighton.....SUCK IT!! ::does the DegenerationX thingy::
Sandros: Once again crazy words from Skylar. Moving on…Chelsea, you came close to winning the last challenge, did you have fun? What was your reaction after I recounted and you found out you were 1 point away? Are ya feeling vulnerable?
Chelsea: I had fun. It sucks I lost, of course, but Skylar kept IMing me and my computer wouldn't react as fast with the IMs there, so I got behind. As for feeling vulnerable, I'd be really suprised if I didn't go home. I hope that everything is under control, but if not I think I'm a gonner.
Sandros: Well, soon we’ll find out if you’re a gonner, or a “stayer?” LoL. Sammy, What are you basing your votes on tonight? Are you feeling extra vulnerable now that 2 people are leaving this round? What do u make of this surprise double boot? Who is the biggest threat left in the game?
Sammy: The same thing I'm basing my vote on from last round. Everyone's a threat in their own way.I feel extremely vulnerable because Skylar and Tom are immune through both votes this council, which makes me jealous. Four people are vulnerable and two of them are going home. That's a 50/50 chance of going home. I hate this "surprise," though, because it's like BOOM! Final 7 then BOOM! Final 5. It's a huge part of the game and it really shows where everyone stands as far as their alliances. This was a good way to see who you could trust just enough make it into the next round and who has actually been lying to you the entire time, or most of the time, or for however long.I don't think at this stage of the game any one person is more threatening than the other. After this council we'll be at the Final 5. You're one of five people trying to get one of those final two seats. Everyone is a threat because everyone wants to make it there, but only two of the five can make it there. It's anyone's game and the odds of making the final round are increasing greatly.
Sandros: I agree with you, at this point everyone is a threat. It’s anyone’s game after this vote. Tom, what do you make of this double boot/ what do you make of this vote tonight? How has camp life changed since finding out two people were going home? Anyone sucking up to you, now that you are immune?
Tom: When I first heard of the double boot--whether I had immunity or not--I was definitely shocked. It totally added a whole new dynamic to how everyone would vote, myself included. I think the vote tonight is going to be a little disheartening, to be honest. Up until this point it's been relatively easy to cast my vote and not have any serious qualms over it...But that's definitely changed with this vote. No offense to Skylar, but with him having immunity it basically forces me to vote for not one person I genuinely like, but TWO. Camp life has changed in that I'm pretty sure everyone got to talk to everyone else about the strategy and implications of these 2 votes. I'd say it was definitely the most strategic round we've all had out here. I wouldn't say anyone 'sucked up' to me, but I definitely heard some pleas. I hate this vote, but I just gotta go with my gut, seize the day, hope for the best, and stick by my decision.
Sandros: Trusting your gut is probably the best thing you could do in this game. Good luck. Lastly, Deighton, you were uberly pissed after you were eliminated from the last challenge? What do you make of your loss? Also, what have you done to assure your safety in the game this vote? Who do you think has no chance at winning the finals?
Deighton: I still think it's unfortunate. I got home like 9 minutes before the challenge and didn't quite have the benefit of reading the rules of the challenge beforehand and was never directed there by the host in those 9 minutes to ensure that I was on board. Because skylar the mansleeper won immunity, I'll probably be going to jury this TC. I have done nothing to assure my safety. Instead of voting for bigger fish, I'm going to be vote out and i guess I'm somewhat appreciative on it. Cause this will just come back to bite those and make them say "I should have voted out *name here* and *name here* instead since Deighton wasn't really a challenge threat to me. I think the jury is going to hold some big grudges and make some stupid decisions as to who they want to see win. So as for who has no chances of winning this game? that question is null and void. SKYLAR SUCKS MAN SAUSAGE!
Sandros: Well maybe you won't be voted out, we'll see...but I'm sure doing 'nothing' couldn't have helped you. Anyways, I must remind everyone that once the votes are read the decision is final. Person voted out will be asked to leave the Council Area immediately. I’ll now read the 12 votes…
First vote…
Second vote…
Third vote…
Fourth vote…
That’s 2 for Deighton, 2 for Donna.

3 for Deighton, 2 for Donna.

Last vote…
Sandros: With 4 votes Deighton, I’m sorry but you are the first castaway to be voted out tonight. THE TRIBE HAS SPOKEN!
* Snuffs Deighton’s Torch *
Sandros: Please post your final words in your confessional. Take a look back on your time here in China. From the days on the original Fu Mal with Scotty 2 hotty, as well as Nirvana, and now on this merged tribe. Take a look back on twists, and the fellow castaways who you’ve spent almost 2 months with. Reflect on your experience as a whole. Thanks for playing you crazy bastard <3!
Sandros: Now we move on to a bigger problem. There are 3 votes for Donna, and 3 votes for Chelsea. Since we have a tie, as always we take a look back on past votes.
Back at TC2 Donna received one vote.
Back at TC8 Donna received another vote.
Back at TC12 Donna received another vote.
That’s a total of 3 past votes.
Looking back at all the Tribal Councils Chelsea attended, Chelsea received not one vote.
Because of this I’m sorry to say…Donna, THE TRIBE HAS SPOKEN!!
* Snuffs Donna’s Torch *
Sandros: Donna, you will join Deighton in the Jury where you will meet Jacob, Matt, Jp, Conny, and Zoe. Donna if you’d please post your final words in your Zen Gardens, reflect on your time out here in the game. You lasted quite a long time sin this game, and was one of the final two ladies here. I’m sure you have a thing or two to say about your time in China.
As for Chelsea, Skylar, Tom and Sammy -- you survived another one. You can head back to camp where you’ll meet up with Richard once again.
Deighton and Donna, Cody will be contacting you to set up and iSurv1vor Live! Interview, take care!!
Donna: I felt bad being eliminated. I thought I was answering questions that weren't answered. Camp has been quiet since Zoe left. I definitely deserve to be here. I am active and good at challenges. Wish I would win one...lol!
