Episode 4 Recap
Previously on Survivor: Micronesia, Snakes came up with good strategies which help them sweep past both challenges, winning 4 out of 6 challenges in total. The Ladders tribes started to lose their morale as they saw their competitors winning almost every thing. Before the Tribal Council, hanwei's bold move to get xinfang to swap sides paid off as baowen is voted off 7 out of 9 votes, making her the 4th castaway voted out of Survivor: Micronesia.
day 11
*after Tribal Council*
timothy: i didn't think that the tables would turn this way.
xinfang: i am sorry. i voted baowen too.
timothy: you what?
xinfang: you are their next target. we have to win and send you to exile island.
timothy: why are you doing this?
xinfang: i was really sorry voting out baowen. and i really dont want to lose this friendship.
timothy: *sighs* even without you, the 6 of them is enough to take us out.
hanwei: this is getting better. first jingren, now baowen. i am like totally dominating this.
jezabel: don't get too comfortable yet. we must not let timothy go to exile island.
hanwei: no. this time we vote out xinfang.
*at Snakes tribe*
siangyong: let's eat one of the chickens we won.
felicia: ok! renhui, let's collect water.
siaun: i will go and collect firewood. rachel want to come along?
rachel: anything.
yanzhi: i will go get some coconuts then.
*everyone went off to do their own tasks*
siaun: i have the hidden immunity idol.
rachel: ok this is great. stash it away so that no one finds out.
siaun: let's hide it in the cave then.
rachel: this is going to be so useful in the upcoming tribal councils.
day 12
zhenyang: welcome back survivors. last nght, baowen was voted out of Ladders, and today, we are switching tribes. drop your buffs guys. Snakes, the person who picked the purple stone remains in the Snakes and has the first choice of contestants. For Ladders, it's the orange stone.
*all 16 takes a stone*
zhenyang: open. siaun remains in Snakes and xinfang remains in Ladders. Snakes have the first choice.
siaun: hanwei.
xinfang: jack.
hanwei: rachel.
jack: timothy.
rachel: jezabel.
timothy: wanjing.
jezabel: siangyong.
wanjing: jianhong.
siangyong: priscilla.
jianhong: yanzhi.
priscilla: renhui.
yanzhi: seelek.
zhenyang: ok that leaves pohchoon with Snakes and felicia with Ladders.
New tribes!

zhenyang: This is your reward challenge today. Tribe members will be divided into pairs and harnessed together. Each round, a harnessed pair from each tribe will chase a pair from the other tribe through a muddy obstacle course, attempting to grab a flag off the opposing tribe's back. Each time a pursuing pair grabs the flag, they score a point for their tribe. To make things interesting, the chasing pair only has 60 seconds to capture the other tribe's flag. If they fail to do so, the fleeing tribe score a point. First tribe to three points win reward: a steak barberque with all the fixings, wine and spices. To give the new tribemates a chance toget to know each other, no one will be sent to exile island.
*all 16 castaways cheered madly*
zhenyang: ok. first up, siaun and hanwei from Snakes chasing seelek and felicia from Ladders.
GO!
*siaun and hanwei chasing seelek and felicia*
siaun dives and grabs seelek's flag. 1 point to Snakes!
next up, xinfang and wanjing from Ladders chasing siangyong and pohchoon from Snakes.
*xinfang and wanjing chasing siangyong and pohchoon*
pohchoon slipped and fall! siangyong hit his head against the wooden fence. xinfang snags the flag. 1 point to Ladders!
Injury tally: pohchoon injured his ankle. siangyong's head has a big bruise.
next up, rachel and jezabel from Snakes catching jack and yanzhi from Ladders.
*rachel and jezabel chasing jack and yanzhi*
jack and yanzhi manuevre through the course swiftly. rachel jumps but misses yanzhi, hitting jezabels lips instead. ooh, it's swollen. 10 seconds left. jezabel attempts to corner jack and yanzhi and makes another dive. jack evades successfully and rachel's shoulder hits the wooden pole. time's up! 1 point to Ladders! Ladders lead 2-1.
Injury tally: pohchoon's ankle, siangyong's head, jezabel's lips and rachel's shoulder. Looks like Snakes is having a very bad time.
next up, jianhong and timothy from Ladders chasing priscilla and renhui from Snakes.
*jianhong and timothy chasing priscilla and renhui*
jianhong and timothy jumping across the wooden fence. it's a good strategy as renhui and priscilla are trapped with nowhere to go. jianhong lunges at priscilla and manage to grab her flag. LADDERS WIN REWARD!
*Ladders tribe cheering*
zhenyang: Snakes, take up your things and head back to camp. Ladders, pick up your reward and head back to camp. See you guys on the immunity challenge.
day 13
*at Snakes tribe*
siaun: yesterday's challenge was a disaster. so many people got injured. *helping to massage rachel's injured shoulder*
rachel: ouch! lighter!
siaun: alright.
renhui: if this keeps up, we might lose the immunity challenge too.
siaun: yes. that's bad you know.
renhui: if we really end up in tribal council, who are you voting?
siaun: most probably jezabel or priscilla.
renhui: ok you have my vote.
priscilla: your lips and like puffing up badly.
jezabel: i know. ouch!
pohchoon: and so is my ankle.
hanwei: that was a totally screwed up challenge.
pohchoon: yes. didn't expect to like die out there.
siangyong: hey guys.
hanwei: what's up?
siangyong: either one of us have to flip in the tribal council and i would gladly be the guy. help me vote siaun out.
pohchoon: why?
siangyong: he is a really strong competitor out here and if he stays we won't have a shot at the prize.
hanwei: *whispering to jezabel* i am not following him. siaun is crucial to win challenges now.
jezabel: *whispering back* yes. who to vote out then?
*at Ladders tribe*
timothy: let's barberque the remaining food.
wanjing: alright. i will help.
xinfang: i can help out too.
yanzhi: felicia, let's go over there to collect some firewood.
yanzhi: look's like its 4 from each tribe here. want to flip over to the other side and vote out wanjing?
felicia: she's quite strong and friendly to everyone. it will be hard.
yanzhi: well. it's worth a try.
felicia: careful!
*a tree branch fell and cuts yanzhi arm*
yanzhi: holy shit.
felicia: the bleeding is very bad.
yanzhi: let's get back to camp first.
seelek: oh my! what happened?!?!
yanzhi: a tree branch fell and cut me.
jack: we should call in the medical team. it's a deep gash.
*medical team arrives and stitches up the deep cut*
yanzhi: this is bad. there might be an infection and it may just be game over for me.
felicia: jack, yanzhi asked me to flip and help the old Ladder's people vote out wanjing.
jack: but we were an alliance before.
felicia: i know. but he said she will be a threat in the future. imagine her sweet-talking all the jury.
jack: alright then, i shall see about it.
day 13
zhenyang: welcome back survivors. this is your immunity challenge. four members from each tribe will alternate throwing rocks at suspended ceramic tiles, breaking them to release four bundles of wooden puzzle pieces. collecting all four bundles and handing them off, three other tribe members will race to assemble the pieces with help from a caller on top of the tower. the first tribe to solve their puzzle wins Immunity and is safe from Tribal Council. You have 5 minutes to strategize.
*both tribes discussing strategies*
siaun, siangyong, rachel and jezabel throwing the rocks, priscilla, renhui and hanwei doing the puzzle and pohchoon is the caller for Snakes.
xinfang, jack, timothy and wanjing throwing the rocks, jianhong, seelek and felicia doing the puzzle and yanzhi is the caller for Ladders.
zhenyang: are you ready?
both tribes: yes.
zhenyang: GO!
siaun throws the first rock. Snakes released their first puzzle piece! jack throwing for Ladders but missed. a few more rounds of throwing by the members but none hit. jezabel hits and released the second puzzle piece! Snakes getting a huge lead there. Ladders continue to miss the tiles. rachel hits the third tile for Snakes and released the third puzzle piece! jack hits for Ladders! but the tile is still intact! wanjing hits a tile and released Ladders' first puzzle piece! siaun breaks and released the last puzzle piece for Snakes! they are starting to retrieve it! timothy breaks the tile and released the second puzzle piece for Ladders.
Snakes starting to assemble their puzzle piece with pohchoon's help as a caller. Ladders still struggling getting the last 2 pieces. wanjing released another piece for Ladders. and xinfang breaks the last one immediately after that and Ladders are now retrieving their puzzle piece. Snakes having problems as pohchoon cant seem to figure out the puzzle. yanzhi led Ladders to form up the sides first. great teamwork by Ladders there. pohchoon managed to get Snakes to form up one of the corners. Ladders making up alot of ground there. yanzhi working well with the other tribe mates. Snakes forming one more end. Ladders fixes in the last puzzle piece.
zhenyang: LADDERS WIN IMMUNITY! Snakes see you at Tribal Council tomorrow. Head back to camp and rest up.
*at Snakes tribe*
siaun: we have been losing and losing since the tribal switch.
rachel: what to do? we dont have the synergy going.
renhui: vote priscilla?
siaun: i am thinking of voting off someone else off.
renhui: who?
siaun: i think we should talk to hanwei and jezabel about this.
*hanwei and jezabel walking over*
siaun: i was just about to go look for you.
hanwei: they are going to vote you. but i want you to stay, you are crucial for us to win challenges in future.
jezabel: yes and even if it takes to turn back on our previous alliance, i dont care.
siaun: well, i have one candidate in mind...
siangyong: so vote siaun?
priscilla: he seem to be an asset to us.
pohchoon: did he find the immunity idol that time?
siangyong: according to what we know, rachel doesn't have it. we aren't sure about siaun.
pohchoon: ok then. we vote siaun. someone tell hanwei and jezabel about it.
priscilla: i will go.
priscilla: hey, where were you two?
jezabel: we were strolling along the beach looking for shellfish which could be dinner.
hanwei: well are we still voting siaun?
priscilla: siangyong seems to be for it.
hanwei: hmm. alright then.
siangyong: renhui, we are going to vote off siaun.
renhui: sure thing. we have been at it since day one.
siangyong: great. by the way, what are you doing with them?
renhui: oh nothing really.
rachel: do you think you should bring along your immunity idol?
siaun: i am afraid hanwei and jezabel might turn their backs at us.
rachel: i think we can trust them. if not they would not come and find us themselves.
siaun: well, you have a point.
day 14
*at Tribal Council*
zhenyang: Snakes, its your first tribal council since the switch. tell me siaun, how do you find them compared to your previous tribemates?
siaun: i find that they are nice people and i can see everyone working very hard to win challenges. but of course, i miss the old Snakes people.
zhenyang: interesting. hanwei, what do you think about the new tribe?
hanwei: i like the Snakes campsite. they have all the rewards from previous challenges.
jezabel: yes, the chickens, the stable shelter, everything. and the people are nice to get along with.
zhenyang: what about you siangyong?
siangyong: well, personally i felt being left alone here. first kelvin's elimination, then yanzhi swapped tribes. i just dont feel safe here.
renhui: hey, you still have me.
siangyong: stop pretending. i saw you talking to siaun and rachel back there. and i know you guys are planning a backstab on me.
siaun: no we aren't.
rachel: how could you accuse us of something we didn't do? can't we just have a little get-together?
pohchoon: you should know what you are doing.
priscilla: just dont be too stunned at what might happen tonight.
zhenyang: alright alright. i can see that Snakes is still very divided even after the merge. well time's up. priscilla, you are up.
