Episode 2 Recap
Previously on Survivor: Micronesia, the 2 tribes fight for reward and immunity. Snakes managed to fix the puzzle first winning them the immunity and fishing equipment. A futile trip to exile island sent seelek and renhui back to their tribes tired. Ladders first decided on voting hanwei but after timothy stumbled upon jingren's plan, they turned to vote seelek. matters complicated when jianhong switched sides and sacrificed his individual immunity to save seelek. in the end, the 7-man alliance's decision to split votes saved timothy as karma bites back hard, causing jingren to be the 2nd castaway voted out of Survivor: Micronesia.
day 6
*after the tribal council*
timothy: that was a close one. never thought jianhong would switch sides.
baowen: luckily we split the votes.
jianhong: hey. sorry about the last tribal council.
xinfang: it's too late. what's done cannot be undone.
timothy: just watch your back.
seelek: what happened back there?
jianhong: they seemed angry with me. that's natural. didn't thought they would split their votes. i was only told they are voting you.
seelek: that was really unfortunate.
jianhong: we have to be careful now. there is a large target on our backs.
hanwei: thank goodness i was spared.
jezabel: next time be less bossy and i suppose things will be fine.
hanwei: fine fine..
priscilla: let's get back and rest. it's been a tiring day.
pohchoon: true. we need all we got to win the reward challenge.
*back at SNAKES tribe*
siaun: i think i may be their target next.
wanjing: yes. i think we should rope in more people into our alliance.
rachel: but aren't felicia and jack on our side?
siaun: they seem very neutral to me.
rachel: maybe we should get their help.
wanjing: work hard to win the immunity challenge.
kelvin: i wonder if they already knew i voted them.
yanzhi: i dont think so. they dont look very bright to me.
siangyong: maybe we should have voted him earlier.
kelvin: that would strike a tie. and siying will also lose in the end.
siangyong: true. hmmm.
felicia: i seriously dont know who to help. ever since the last tribal council, everyone seems to be split into 3 alliances.
jack: yes and apparently we are sandwiched in the middle.
renhui: i think the guys are more trustworthy than the girls. after all, they can help us win more challenges in future.
jack: you've got a point there.
felicia: let's see after the challenge.
day 7
Both tribes received treemail consisting of a Survivor Comfort Catalogue and war paint. There is going to be an aggresive meeting and you are to choose 3 items which you will acquire after winning the Reward challenge.
Both tribes discussed over what they would like. Then, each member applied war paint on their faces.
zhenyang: Welcome to the Reward Challenge. Last night, jingren was voted off Ladders. And today, it's going to be a battle. Both tribes start at opposite sides of a watery playing field in your opponent's end zone. When i say GO, both tribes will charge across the lagoon to your own end zone on the opposite side, carrying three heavy canvas bags. The tribe's goal is to get your three bags, plus two bags from the enemy tribe, into your respective end zones. To make things interesting, tribes can steal bags from your opponent's end zones even after the opponent has scored. The first tribe to get any five bags in your end zone at once wins Reward.
zhenyang: Snakes will be playing for a shelter kit, a lighting kit and a survival kit. Ladders will be playing for fishing kit, shelter kit and a kitchen set.
*both tribes cheered loudly*
zhenyang: GO!
The 18 remaining castaways dashed across the lagoon, colliding onto each other. Taking advantage of the confusion, rachel managed to snatch a bag from Ladders bringing up their lead to 3-1. however, the lead dissipated when pohchoon dragged felicia, along with her bag into his end and timothy using brute force to fling wanjing into his end, neutralising the game at 3-3.
seelek managed to duck through the number of people and stole a bag. however she was stopped by renhui. during their struggle, jezabel grabbed the bag and brought back to Ladder's end, leading 2-4. at the moment, siaun successfully shook off jianhong scoring for Snakes. as priscilla is making a dash for Ladder's final score, she was stopped by siangyong, who tries to snatch the bag back.
as all the Ladder's members focussed on getting their last score, yanzhi and jack snuck over to Ladder's end and stole 2 bags and made a dash for their end. yanzhi made it bringing the score up to 3-2. jack, however, was stopped by hanwei as he started to fight for the bag. at the other end, rachel snagged another bag and brought back to Snakes opening up the lead to 4-2. priscilla brought in a bag for Ladder's, closing up the lead to 4-3. yanzhi then decided to tackle hanwei, opening up the road for jack. jack scores! SNAKES WIN REWARD!
*snakes members cheering wildly*
zhenyang: Snakes, please send a member from Ladders to go to Exile Island.
*discussing*
yanzhi: we are sending seelek again.
rachel: and i will go along.
*on Exile Island*
seelek and rachel arrived on the island. seelek is reluctant to walk all over the island for a second time and trudged along behind rachel as rachel unravelled clues.
seelek: this is useless. renhui and i got stuck on the fourth clue and it wasn't easy.
rachel: but we are only on the second one now!
seelek: alright. i am just exhausted after all the running just now.
rachel: just trail behind. i don't need you.
*back at Ladders tribe*
timothy: i still dont get why we lost. aren't we leading?
xinfang: we were, until jack and yanzhi stole the bags.
baowen: i thought jianhong were guarding them?
hanwei: he ran out to help me fend off siaun.
jezabel: this is just unlucky. looks like a storm is coming. we are going to freeze.
baowen: ahhhh!! our shelter is going to be destroyed!!
xinfang: let's find the rest and seek shelter.
jianhong: i really dont know what happened just now. all of a sudden our bags just depleted.
pohchoon: most of the time i was blocking the girls from entering their base.
priscilla: i didn't expect a task to be that physical.
jianhong: wonder how seelek is doing. hope she finds the idol this time.
pohchoon: a storm is approaching. those other people must be gloating at us.
priscilla: ok look. the rest are here.
timothy: let's find a shelter together.
jianhong: alright.
*at the Snakes tribe*
siaun: yes!! we won the reward. now we wont have to be scared of the storm that's imminent!!
wanjing: we still have to worry about the guy who backstabbed you.
felicia: i heard from renhui it was kelvin.
siaun: what? i thought he is on our side!!
jack: apparently not. those 3 guys dont seem to be involving us in their activities.
wanjing: we have to be wary of kelvin.
kelvin: hey renhui come join us.
renhui: yup?
siangyong: we are just going to rope you in for our alliance. we are going to vote one of the five. to break their alliance.
renhui: but jack and felicia aren't in alliance with them.
yanzhi: you never know.
kelvin: oh look they are setting up the shelter. i guess we should help.
*soon the Snakes tribe snuggled cozily under their newly-won tarp while the Ladders tribe shivered under the storm*
*at Exile Island*
seelek: are you done yet? you won't find it.
rachel: i will find it. now will you stop it?
seelek: i will when you agree to stop finding and rest together.
*dark clouds looming in*
rachel: ok fine. darn weather. let's find a shelter.
seelek: yay!!
Day 8
zhenyang: Welcome back. seelek and rachel, please rejoin your tribe. Today, you will be fighting for tribal immunity. Here are the rules. Each tribe will choose two men and two women to hold a rope tethered to a giant hanging net basket. Members of the opposing tribe will attempt to shoot coconuts into the net. The more coconuts a tribe successfully throws into the other tribe's net, the heavier that net becomes. The tribe that holds their net up the longest wins Immunity and is safe from Tribal Council. Please choose the members holding the net.
rachel, renhui, siaun and siangyong hold the net for Snakes while priscilla, jezabel, pohchoon and timothy hold the net for Ladders.
zhenyang: GO!
other tribe members started to shoot coconuts into their opponent nets. Snakes took a quick lead as wanjing and yanzhi managed to shoot in consecutively. on the other side, Ladders closed up the lead as baowen and hanwei shot many coconuts in. Snakes continued their onslaught as felicia and jack shot more coconuts in. jianhong missed a precious shot into the net.
at the same time, the Ladder's net is getting filled up very quickly. Snake's net is almost as fully filled as Ladder's net. seelek managed a lucky shot into Snake's net. at that instant, rachel lost grip as she felt the rope slide through her fingers. that fatal mistake proved to be uncorrectable as the other 3 members gave way to the enormous weight. LADDERS WIN IMMUNITY!
*ladders members cheering happily*
zhenyang: Head back to camp. Snakes, see you at tribal council tonight.
*back at Snakes camp*
siaun: not again. i got a bad feeling about this.
wanjing: you think they may vote against you?
siaun: yes. rachel you found the idol?
rachel: no. that seelek kept hindering me with her fatigue.
siaun: this is bad. let's approach felicia and jack.
kelvin: you saw what happened just now right?
yanzhi: yes. rachel released the rope first.
siangyong: if anyone has to go, it shall be her.
renhui: i suppose i will vote her too.
felicia: you want us to help you guys?
jack: and vote out kelvin?
siaun: yes. he backstabbed us last tribal council by voting me. and he might strike anyone this time.
renhui: but what if she has the idol?
yanzhi: oh ya. crap who allowed her to go to exile island?
siangyong: renhui, go try and check if she has it.
wanjing: what happened actually just now?
rachel: i dont know. when the coconut fell into the net, my muscle cramped and the net just slipped out of my hand.
wanjing: oh my. you think the guys may vote you?
rachel: gosh that's a possibility.
felicia: you mean rachel didn't find the idol?
siaun: yes. she couldn't find it.
jack: but it's her fault that she dropped the net right?
siaun: true but i am sure it wasn't intentional.
felicia: of course it wasn't intentional. it was accidental with an intent.
siaun: no.
jack: we shall see who to vote.
renhui: hi gals. rachel, how's exile island?
rachel: horrible. seelek kept hindering me saying how tired she was.
renhui: it was tough. so you didnt find it?
rachel: ya.
renhui: alright. who are you voting for tribal council tonight?
wanjing: most probably kelvin. he tried to backstab us.
renhui: you dont say. it's really him?
rachel: that's what felicia says though.
renhui: rest well then. see you tonight.
*renhui walks off*
rachel: that was weird.
yanzhi: jack. can you and felicia help us vote rachel?
jack: i was just thinking of that issue.
siangyong: after all she dropped the net.
felicia: ya we know.
*renhui walks back*
renhui: tested her out. no idol. oh hi, people.
kelvin: yes, we are going to break their foothold here.
jack: we shall see about it.
felicia: i think i will think about it after some time to myself.
*jack and felicia walks off*
kelvin: you think they will help us?
yanzhi: from the looks of it.. they will.
renhui: good! let's revenge siying.
rachel: just now renhui was acting weirdly.
siaun: really? who she's with anyways.
wanjing: dont know. shouldn't it be felicia and jack?
*felicia and jack walks in*
felicia: did renhui ask you about the idol?
rachel: yes. why?
jack: she's a spy for the guys.
rachel: knew it! that's bad.
siaun: so who are you voting?
felicia: haven't decided yet.
jack: you will know at tonight's tribal council.
*at the Tribal Council*
zhenyang: welcome back Snakes, to your second tribal council. how much have your tribe changed? jack, your views please.
jack: it has been split into 3 main alliance since day one. and i can feel that the alliance will stay.
zhenyang: what are you going to do about it?
jack: i think i will just play the better of both sides to ensure my safety.
zhenyang: how about you felicia?
felicia: this time i felt like being pulled to both sides. i really dont know who to help.
zhenyang: i see. siaun, you managed to survive the last tribal council. what do you think might be today's result?
siaun: i really dont know. but i can say that i have really played my part, and if i am really voted out then it's really a loss to the tribe.
zhenyang: rachel, you have been performing quite well until the immunity challenge where you screwed up your first challenge. what happened?
rachel: i think i didn't stretch properly. my muscle sort of cramped and lost grip of the rope.
zhenyang: i see. yanzhi, what do you think of rachel's performance?
yanzhi: i think that she really lost it today. like siying last time, you have to pay if you make a mistake.
zhenyang: is that how you think? how about you kelvin?
kelvin: to survive in this game, you just have to be careful and not made any mistakes. siying was a very good example. so i think she should pay for releasing the rope.
zhenyang: alright. it's about time there. siaun, you are up.
