Episode 9 Recap
Previously on Survivor: Micronesia, the tribal merge ended the division between Snakes and Ladders. With the formation of the new tribe, it seemed that all is well. Until jack realised that the old Ladders are a majority. As a result, he allianced hopped to the old Ladders members. That was seen as unfaithful and the old Snakes slapped a traget on his back immediately. At the immunity challenge, jack worked hard to win individual immunity, however, jianhong outlasted him and send jack to a vulnerable position. Within the old Ladder members, they were torn between voting jack, the unfaithful one, or siaun, the threatening one. In the end, they split votes and jack became the eleventh person voted out of Survivor: Micronesia and the first member of the jury.
day 24
*after Tribal Council - Dice tribe*
priscilla: why did you vote jack? it's the best time to get siaun out of the game!
timothy: can we just drop that? what's done is done.
hanwei: do you know how strong siaun is? we is just going to dominate the challenges.
jianhong: dont worry, we have timothy to fight against him. besides, i outlasted siaun in the last challenge.
seelek: relax people. we will vote him out today.
timothy: *thinking to himself* so they are going to target me after voting out siaun. that's bad. i have to get the hidden idol.
siaun: we were lucky that they targetted jack.
rachel: yeah. god knows what will happen if they kept him.
wanjing: good thing they saw through jack's methods.
*most of the tribe went to sleep*
timothy: you have a huge target on your back.
siaun: i know. that's why i need the idol. like again.
day 25
zhenyang: Come on in guys.
*Dice tribes walking in*
zhenyang: This is today's reward challenge. You will be divided into 2 teams of four. One by one, members of each team will swim out to a multi-level tunnel of nets partially submerged in a lagoon and race through it. Once through the tunnel, you will swim to a platform and study a collection of Micronesian symbols, memorizing their positions on the answer key. You will then make your way back through the net tunnel to the start and arrange duplicate symbols on an answer board in the same positions as the answer key on the platform. The first team to arrange all the symbol correctly win the Reward: a flight to a neighbouring island nation, Yap, where you will enjoy a local dance, feast, and spend the night in an ancient village, returning to your camp the following morning. The last person not chosen will be going to Exile Island. Is eveyone understood?
everyone: yes.
*by random, timothy and priscilla are the leaders*
priscilla: i pick jianhong.
timothy: siaun.
jianhong: hanwei.
siaun: wanjing.
hanwei: seelek.
wanjing: xinfang.
zhenyang: so that leaves rachel to go to Exile Island.
rachel: again? alright
zhenyang: you will return in time for the next challenge.
rachel: have fun guys.
*rachel leaves for Exile Island*
zhenyang: So the Orange team consists of timothy, siaun, wanjing and xinfang. And the Purple team consists of priscilla, jianhong, hanwei and seelek.
zhenyang: ready, GO!
siaun and jianhong swims out first. siaun taking a short lead over jianhong out of the net. siaun taking his time to memorize the patterns. jianhong comes back first and fixes in some pieces. seelek swims out next. siaun returning and fixes almost double the amount of what jianhong has done. timothy swims out and starts to cross the net. seelek getting stuck and timothy gaining alot of time. both reached the platform together. seelek swimming back, timothy swimming back. both fixed in equal numbers of pieces. priscilla swims out. wanjing swims out.
wanjing beats priscilla to the platform. wanjing took a breif look and starts swimming back. priscilla swam back after her. wanjing fixes in the pieces. xinfang swims out, going to fix in their last 3 pieces. priscilla fixes her pieces and hanwei swims out. hanwei overtakes xinfang and reaches the platform. both swam back neck in neck. hanwei puts in all their pieces. xinfang puts in all their pieces. siaun swims out again! i think it's to double check. Purple thinks they are done. WRONG! jianhong swimming out to the platform. siaun swimming back.
jianhong took a hard look. siaun changed a few pieces. Orange thinks they are done. ORANGE WINS REWARD!
siaun: YES!
*wanjing and xinfang hugs each other*
zhenyang: ok Purple team take your stuff and head back to camp. Orange team, the plane will be arriving shortly.

*at Yap*
xinfang: the food is great, the dance is wonderful, i love the culture here!
wanjing: this is truly a once in a lifetime experience.

*Dice tribe walks back to camp*
*at Dice tribe*
rachel: i didn't find the idol.siaun: it's alright, the plan will be to vote out hanwei.
wanjing: i will go inform xinfang.
siaun: and i will tell timothy.
priscilla: so you know who to vote?
*jianhong, hanwei, seelek, timothy and xinfang nodded*
siaun: timothy, we are voting hanwei.
timothy: alright.
wanjing: xinfang, we are voting hanwei.
xinfang: alright.
xinfang: *thinking to herself* i have the deciding vote. i dont really trust siaun but i need his alliance now to get further. i dont really like hanwei too. he has been bossy since day one.
timothy: *thinking to himself* i have the deciding vote. if i vote siaun, my chances of survival will be zero. if i vote hanwei, my chances of survival are slightly above zero. but siaun will bring rachel and wanjing in to the final 3. damn.
*at Tribal Council*
zhenyang: Welcome back guys. Now bringing in the members of our jury.
*jack walks in*
zhenyang: Tell me seelek, did you regret dropping so early in the immunity challenge just now?
seelek: sort of. but i think i can trust this group of people to let myself survive one more day.
zhenyang: interesting way of thinking. siaun, what about you?
siaun: i don't think that way. since day one, votes have been casted against me.
rachel: once is for me.
siaun: alright, all but once.
zhenyang: so you think you have to win every challenge?
siaun: yup
zhenyang: timothy, how do you feel about that?
timothy: i think that is by far the safest method to get to the finals. but whether you win or not depends on your ties with the jury. and i am working towards building interpersonal relationships.
zhenyang: even those that will jeopadize your alliance?
timothy: i hope not.
zhenyang: jianhong, you have won two of two individual immunities. how do you feel?
jianhong: i am very confident now. and i think i can win this game for sure.
zhenyang: priscilla, do you think jianhong will bring you far in the game if he gets all the immunity necklaces?
priscilla: i hope he will.
jianhong: that depends on how well she is liked by the jury.
priscilla: well, i can say that i am very lovable and will be loved by everyone for sure.
zhenyang: hahaha. alright, hanwei, do you feel nervous tonight?
hanwei: somehow, i have this weird feeling that i am targetted because jianhong has the immunity necklace.
zhenyang: i see. what are you going to do about it?
hanwei: what can i do?
wanjing: nothing.
hanwei: yup nothing.
zhenyang: alright. jianhong, you have the immunity necklace. are you keeping it or giving to someone else?
jianhong: keeping it.
zhenyang: ok it's time to vote. jianhong is safe tonight and you cannot vote him. everyone else is vulnerable. jianhong, you are up.
