Episode 7 Recap
Previously on Survivor: Micronesia, Snakes finally found a glimmer of hope when they beat Ladders at the Reward Challenge. At Exile Island, timothy confronted renhui about siaun having the idol. but renhui insists that siaun doesn't have it as it's not in his bag. Back at Ladder's camp, felicia started to wail about how she might end up like yanzhi. after a long moment of self-struggle, she decided to quit the game, making her the eighth survivor to leave the game. At the immunity challenge, Snakes lost their lead by a slight margin when priscilla and rachel are unable to fix their puzzle. timothy and jianhong's observance paid off when they led Ladders to their 3rd consecutive Tribal Immunity. Moments before tribal council, Snakes are torn between keeping siaun, the strength of their tribe, or keeping renhui, who is less of a threat in future. In the end, the Snakes tribe voted out renhui 4-2, making her the ninth survivor voted out of the game.
day 20
*after Tribal Council - Snakes tribe*
siaun: i have a feeling they are targetting me now.
rachel: it might be the tribal merge soon i hope.
siaun: yea, and you heard about what jezabel said right?
rachel: voting you out? ya.
siaun: we have to be careful.
priscilla: if the 4 of them gangs up again, i will be in deep trouble. i must get hanwei and jezabel over at all costs.
hanwei: i suppose it's time for siaun to go.
jezabel: we might be approaching the tribal merge. he is going to be a threat.
hanwei: yes, let's see after the next immunity challenge.
*at Ladders tribe*
xinfang: i have a feeling that the tribal merge is going to happen soon.
timothy: yes, we have to vote out wanjing now.
jianhong: you think siaun has the idol?
timothy: who else? why are the people in Snakes not voting him out?
wanjing: i wonder if siaun used his idol...
*jack walks past and overheard wanjing*
wanjing: i really hope it's the tribal merge soon.
jack: i overheard wanjing. siaun HAS the idol.
timothy: aha! see.
jianhong: so they are in an alliance.
xinfang: he might use the idol to save wanjing.
seelek: this is getting so bad.
day 21
*at Snakes tribe*
jezabel: guys, the treemail is here. we have to select one of them to sit out of today's reward + immunity challenge. and they will be given individual immunity good for tonight's tribal council.
siaun: who should we choose?
hanwei: choose a guy so they become weakened for today's challenge?
rachel: should we go with timothy? since he has been out to exile so many times. let him get the idol and allow it for circulation?
priscilla: i suppose that's good.
*Snakes picked timothy to go to Exile Island*
*at Ladders tribe*
seelek: we have to choose one person from the opposing tribe to go to exile and give him/her individual immunity good for tonight's tribal council.
jianhong: let's choose a guy, it will crush them.
wanjing: how about siaun? he seems to be the strongest amongst them.
xinfang: or hanwei? he is not bad too.
timothy: the challenge is also about balance. how about choosing a girl who has the strength and the balance?
wanjing: rachel then, she's quite good at challenges too.
xinfang: well, how about jezabel?
jack: she seems hopeless in challenges. wonder why they kept her so long.
jianhong: so our decision is rachel?
*Ladders picked rachel to go to Exile Island*
zhenyang: come on in guys.
*Ladders tribe walking in*
*Snakes tribe walking in*
zhenyang: Ladders take a look at the new Snake tribe. renhui voted out last night. First tihng first, give me your pick for exile.
*zhenyang collects envelopes from the 2 tribes*
zhenyang: Ladders chose rachel to go to exile. Snakes chose timothy to go to exile.
timothy: me again?
zhenyang: alright, you will be rejoining your tribe just before tribal council. have fun.
*timothy and rachel leaves for Exile Island*
zhenyang: For today's Reward and Immunity Challenge. One tribe member at a time will attempt to navigate a balance-intensive obstacle course over a pit of water, while members from the opposing tribe try to knock you off by swinging heavy canvas bags at them. Once across, grab a flag and race back across the same course. If you fall off at any time, you will have to go back to the start and the next person goes. The first tribe to collect all five of your flags wins Immunity and a pizza party with beer back at your camp. Worth playing for?
*everyone shouts YES*
zhenyang: Ladders, you have one extra member. Someone will have to sit out.
seelek: me.
zhenyang: Ok you have some time to strategize.
*after some time...*

*at Exile Island*
timothy: don't bother finding it. it's gone. i found the place like long ago but the idol isn't there.
rachel: *feigning ignorance* really? who has it?
timothy: i don't know. almost everyone came before. it could be anyone we know.
rachel: well, it's my first visit here so haha.
timothy: wonder how they did for the challenge.
rachel: i just know that Snakes tribe is so doomed.
*at Ladders tribe*
jianhong: oh this pizza is delicious!
seelek: i wish i could eat this everyday.
xinfang: leave some for timothy. he's coming back soon
jack: sure sure. wanjing disappeared again.
xinfang: where is she again?
jack: so we will still be voting her the next time round?
*silence*
jack: i will take that as a yes.
wanjing: siaun, please dont get voted out now. we need you for numbers.
*at Snakes tribe*
hanwei: so we are sure that siaun doesn't have the idol?
priscilla: if he had he should have used it during one of the past tribal councils. he was so close to elimination.
jezabel: well, his time is up now.
*siaun eavesdropping*
hanwei: do you think the merge might be up soon?
jezabel: i really hope so. we would totally be dominating after rejoining the Ladders people from the other side.
siaun: this is so bad. i am totally going to use my idol. but it's such a waste to use it now.
*siaun approaches hanwei and jezabel*
siaun: i am thinking of voting priscilla. she hasn't been useful and she knocked jezabel into the water.
hanwei: well anything.
jezabel: i am alright with it.
siaun: ok that settles it.
*rachel returns from Exile Island*
*siaun rushing to rachel*
siaun: we lost the challenge. and i overheard the 3 of them plotting against me thinking that i dont have the idol. the 2 double crossers still tried to trick me into voting out priscilla.
rachel: what?!?! so you are using it?
siaun: i have to. but who shall we vote?
rachel: hanwei? he seems to be a threat.
siaun: i say priscilla. she seems to be trying to get rid of me since the tribal switch.
rachel: well. let's think deeper into the issue.
*at Tribal Council*
zhenyang: Welcome back Snakes for the 4th time in a row. Tough luck. priscilla, how did you feel about the challenge just now.
priscilla: i felt that we did well. just that we made some stupid mistakes here and there and lost our lead.
siaun: i think we did good out there. just that some people can't aim properly or some others can't dodge objects flying towards them.
jezabel: the bag wasn't meant for me. how do i know that it will hit me.
priscilla: besides, swinging that bag was hard. why not you try swinging it next time. it's heavy you know.
zhenyang: alright. what are your views hanwei?
hanwei: i still think despite being very small, the tribe is still very divided. people just cannot work really well with each other.
priscilla: that's because some people's attitude is in the way.
siaun: and some people just kept trying ways and means to get others out.
zhenyang: ok. rachel, being absent from the challenge, how are you feeling right now?
rachel: i must say i am less stressed out than them due to the individual immunity, but i also face the dilemma with the on who to vote. and after today, i am also vulnerable.
zhenyang: let's assume you have the deciding vote, who would you not bring to the merge among these people?
rachel: i would say jezabel. because she has been on good terms with many people, both on our tribe and in Ladders. she has helped out many people in getting majority of the votes and i am sure she can sweet-talk the jury in the future.
*jezabel raises her eyebrow*
zhenyang: how about you jezabel?
jezabel: i would say siaun. for obvious reasons, he is really strong in challenges and i said before that i dont want him to jeopardize my chances in the game by winning away all the immunity idols.
siaun: am i really a terror to you?
jezabel: you could be one.
zhenyang: siaun, do you think being a strong player has put a large target behind your back.
siaun: i would say yes. as we are nearing the merge, they will start to try ways and means to get rid of me. by then, i will have to work even harder to ensure my own survival.
zhenyang: alright. it's time to vote. hanwei, you are up.
*hanwei voted*
*siaun voted*
*priscilla voted*
*rachel voted*
*jezabel voted*
zhenyang: i will collect the votes.
*zhenyang collecting the votes*
zhenyang: if anyone has the hidden immunity idol, it will be the best time to play it.
siaun: i will.
*priscilla, hanwei and jezabel appears shocked*
zhenyang: alright, all votes towards siaun will be void. and the person with the most votes will be asked to leave the tribal council area immediately. i will tally the votes.
first vote, siaun
second votes, siaun
third vote, jezabel
1 vote jezabel
fourth vote, siaun
1 vote jezabel
*opens fifth vote*
tenth person voted out Survivor: Micronesia, jezabel.
*jezabel starts crying*
zhenyang: jezabel, your tribe has spoken. you are the tenth person voted out Survivor: Micronesia.
*puts out jezabel's torch*
jezabel: all the best guys.
zhenyang: alright, your tribe is like dwindling. head back to camp. you have a long day ahead.
jezabel: i was totally caught unexpected because i didnt think siaun has the idol. and little did i expect they would choose me. i am still too stunned for words. i guess it's too late for us to blindside siaun. we should havd don it earlier. i really hoped to stay on in the game. but my game has ended here.
