-Reward Challenge-
-Day 26-
-Challenge Field-

"Hello, Dunatos! And Welcome, to the reward challenge." Jeff smiled as the eight members of Dunatos walked in. "For today's challenge…we'll be shooting these targets, and once you have that done, you'll run straight to the finish line. Kind of simple. That's all that it is. The reward? Well, I know you've been having a LOT of mush lately…and so, I've decided to make it a good one. Heheh. The reward, is 500 extra dollars in the reward challenge…in four more days. Now, you don't know what the reward challenge is…but trust me, it's a good one. So, you're playing for a really good prize. Get in your spots right now." The survivors got in their lines…each picking up their bows and arrows. "Survivors ready? GO!" Jeff screamed, as the Survivor started to bend back the bows and shoot the arrows at the three targets.
James, Taly, Marianne, and Mark all hit one down. The rest got zero.
(Leading : James, Taly, Marianne, Mark)
(Trailing : Rachel, Phoebe, Tatiana, Sonja)
Soon, Sonja had gotten two down, while James hit the three mark. Sonja got two down, while Taly, Mark, and Marianne hit three shortly after James. After that, Sonja got her third down. They were all off and running…while Rachel, Phoebe, and Tatiana still couldn't hit their targets. The challenge wasn't over yet, though.
(Leading : James, Taly, Mark, Marianne)
(Trailing : Sonja, Phoebe, Tatiana, Rachel)
While running, Marianne fell flat on her face and started to cry. "Come on Marianne!" Taly ran towards her, and picked her up. "You can make it!" The two started running some more. Tatiana and Phoebe both got two down in no time, as Rachel was still at zero. Phoebe then got all three down, while Tatiana gave up and threw her bow and arrow on the floor. "Ah, #*$& it." Tatiana looked at the camera and turned her head away. Rachel was still hanging in there.
(Leading : James, Mark)
(Trailing : Sonja, Phoebe, Rachel, Taly, Marianne)
James soon tripped, and rolled all the way towards Mark, who tripped over James. Soon, Rachel had gotten her three targets down, and jetted down the long path towards the finish line. Marianne passed Taly, as Taly fell. Marianne kept on running, though. James and Mark were still out. Phoebe and Sonja were getting tired, and Phoebe just stopped. Sonja didn't stop. She stopped when she heard the, "MARIANNE, REWARD!" from Jeff, though. "Yes!" Marianne was trying to catch her breath. "Thhannk…you." She said to Jeff.
(Winner : Marianne)
(Losers : James, Taly, Mark, Sonja, Phoebe, Tatiana, Rachel)

Dunatos Tribe
As everyone walked back from the challenge, there was a discussion going on with James and Sonja, in the back of the line.
*~* "So…an alliance?" James asked. "Yes sir. Rachel hates you ; that's for sure. I told her I hated you…but I don't. Trust me on that one." Sonja said. "I trust you, don't worry. Let's talk about this when we get back, k?" James asked. "All right then." Sonja said.

=()=James "I trust Sonja…but, I'm really naïve. So, maybe I shouldn't be trusting her. Either way, I think it's smart to align with her."
=()=Sonja "James isn't that bright…for a twenty-seven year old. He's gonna kill me for that one…"

"James…come here for a minute. I want to show you something about the chickens." Mark said. "Be right there…" James said. "I'm finishing this staring contest." He blinked. "DAMN YOU TALY! You cheated!" He yelled. "Done yet?" Mark asked. "Yeah, I'll be right there." James went over to Mark.

*~* "All right. Here's my philosophy. Two males. Seven females. They planned on voting me out ; but since I won Immunity, they had to turn to you. BUT, Five people voted for Helga instead. Female alliance. You read me?" Mark asked. "Well, that's a lot to take in, but yeah, I read you." James said, looking at Mark, sternly. "So…what do you think? Put a stop to it, or what?" Mark asked. "Wait…you mean, make an alliance?" James looked down at the chicken. "Yes." Mark said. "That chicken is kinda cute…" James said. "I need an answer man. I really think we're going to get screwed if we don't align, and quickly. Tomorrow is tribal council." Mark said. "It's also Tribal Council." James pointed out. "Yeah, thanks for pointing that one out." Mark said, sarcastically. "Listen. All I'm saying is that we should align. End of story. Deal?" Mark asked. "I don't know…I've been approached a lot in the past two days…and I'm not sure who I can trust. Who did you vote for at the tribal council?" James asked. Mark took a while to answer. "I voted for you." He said. "Okay…an honest guy. Sure, I'll make an alliance with you."

"We got Tree-Mail!" Taly yelled. "Gather around!" Everyone gathered around Taly to hear what the tree-mail was.

"For Today's Immunity, you'll have to see, which one is which, with memory!" "Short one, eh?" Marianne said. "Guess so." James stated.
