Day 27 [Punto Tombo Tribe- Eloy, Kimber, Landon, Ray, Sebastian, Shuri, Travis] The tribe woke up and there was a gloomy feeling in the air. Someone was going home and nobody wanted it to be them. Ray was the first up. He woke up very emotional and it was apparent when he was speaking to the cameraman. Ray: Eloy told me yesterday that Shuri approached him with a deal. Shuri wanted to form an alliance with Eloy, Kimber, Sebastian, and herself to vote. However Eloy said he wasn't interested mainly because I explained to him that they would use him and then cut him out. Shuri almost exploded when he said no; I think she thought he would be so easy. Ha, Shuri nice try but now I know your strategy. Shuri was furious at Eloy and said he would be next. So now Eloy is all paranoid that he is going to get voted out, and its possible but I'm trying to save him. I'm trying to form an alliance formed between Eloy, Landon, Travis and myself to vote out Sebastian to turn the tables on Shuri, Kimber, and Sebastian. It would just be perfect; Eloy and Landon are in for sure but damn Travis won't commit to it. All because Travis doesn't trust Landon. I have explained to Travis that this is an important vote and we must take Sebastian out, but he is so set on voting with Kimber, Shuri, and Sebastian. This is so stupid because now Shuri, Kimber, and Sebastian are going to have the advantage and now Travis might be screwing up the game. I know Landon hasn't been the most honest or greatest ally in this game but we need him for the numbers and we can always cut him off next and still have the numbers. Back at camp Landon was tending to the fire. Travis came over with some corn meal and handed some to Landon. Landon: Hey Travis. Travis: Hey man. Landon: What�s up? Travis: Not much dude, sup with you? Landon: Not much Landon: What were you thinking about the vote? Travis: I have no effin idea. Everyone wants me to vote someone different out. Landon: Dude, Shuri and Kimber i think are coming after us. Travis: Shuri and Kimber are coming after who? Landon: Shuri approached Eloy to vote off you, Ray, and me. He wanted him to join, Shuri Kimber and Sebastian. I don�t think you should vote me dude. Cause u could need me down the road but� Travis: I never said I was. Landon: I know but I�m saying it would be wise not to. Landon: I am one hundred percent telling you the truth I never ever ever had an alliance with Joel. I hate him. Travis: I�m not saying I one hundred percent don't believe you. I�m just saying I don�t know right now. Landon: Well dude I�m telling you this...if I�m voted out I�m voted out not much I can do about it...but I never had any intentions of betraying you and that is the honest truth. Travis: Ok. Landon: But if you do decide to vote me out let me know because I don�t vote for people in the end who blind side me. Travis: I told you I would tell you and I will I promise that. Landon: Are u considering at all voting Sebastian out? Travis: Yes. Landon: Because he sucks and he doesn�t seem to talk to people much. Travis: He�s on the same level as you Landon. Landon: I�m giving up I�m pretty much gone I know it I can feel it. Travis: Pulling an Eloy? Landon: No Eloy told people to vote him out. I�m not telling people to vote me out I�m trying to stay but I don�t think I am. Travis: Who knows dude, who do you think is voting for you? Landon: I think Shuri probably is Sebastian is, maybe Kimber. Travis: Shuri told me she might vote for Eloy earlier. Landon: I really do want to stay though so I�m gonna keep trying to, this game is getting crazy no one knows what to do I don�t even know what to do. Travis: After I spoke with Landon earlier Kimber and I had the most interesting conversation in a while. I told her about how Ray was not down for voting Landon, and she had a tit fit, it was the funniest shit ever. Basically in the end I think she said she was going to tell Shuri and Sebastian and change to vote to Ray. Apparently because Ray doesn�t trust Kimber enough to vote off Landon, Kimber thinks that it�s time for Ray to go. I mean, she already has three vote and I�m not going to fight it. If anything Ray brought this upon himself. The nice thing I could do right now is talk to Ray and try to change that, or tell Landon and see if he�s desperate enough to vote for Ray. Kimber: News just came in that Ray is having problems. We have a few hours before Tribal Council and I really didn�t want to have to hurt anyone�s feelings. Dammit. Ray: Hey what�s up? Travis: Not much how are you? Ray: Doing alright Travis: So, things kinda suck right now. Ray: What do you mean? Travis: The girls want to vote you out, I don�t know what happened. Ray: Told you. Travis: Well, they got pissed because you didn't want to go along with them and vote out Landon, then Sebastian next. I tried to tell Kimber not too, but she wouldn't listen to me. Ray: I'm just going to quit I think. This is too stressful. Travis: Are you really just gonna quit? You sound like Eloy! Ray: Well its not going to matter anyways if they want to vote for me? I'm gone anyways Travis: So instead of trying to think of a way around it, since I�m not going to vote for you at all, or just being a man about it, your gonna quit? What is it with everyone quitting? If I was going I would not quit, it�s just a game. I�m pissed at the girls because even now I�m tight with Kimber; she knows I�m tight with you. She just got mad that you didn't trust them, especially Kimber Ray: Well I shouldn't trust them? Travis: Why? What has Kimber done to show that she is untrustworthy? Ray: I just don�t really trust her. Oh this sucks so bad. Travis: Dammit dude, I thought you were better then this, first you show no inclination to trust me when I�ve never lied to you and had your best intentions in mind, and now your gonna fuck the game up for everyone because you�re bitter? That�s retarded! Ray: Well I don�t know what to tell you Travis. We�ll talk more before the vote. Ray: I do not trust Kimber, Shuri, or Sebastian after what I have heard. Kimber and Shuri are going to side with a weak player like Sebastian because they feel they have a better chance to beat someone like him than threats like Travis, Eloy or myself. I just can't see why Travis does not see this, he must be blind or just wants fourth place. A couple tribal councils ago Kimber voted for Sebastian while the majority of people voted Joey off. I know exactly what Kimber was doing, setting everyone up. She wants everyone to think she is not in an alliance with Sebastian so she threw a meaningless vote at him. This is the oldest trick in the book, I know for a fact that are tight and in a alliance but everyone in this game is so stupid and doesn't see the things like this right in front of their nose. I still think a perfect final four would be Landon, Eloy, Travis, and Myself. Everyone has agreed to it with the exception of Travis. If Travis would just do it, we would be golden for the final four and have the control in the game. Instead he's going to side with people that will want him and us done sooner than later. I hope Travis likes 4th place because that�s exactly what he's going to get if he does not change his mind fast. I don't want to see a weak and pathetic player like Sebastian go further in this game than me. It�s embarrassing and I will probably shoot myself if it happens. Looks like its Landon, or Sebastian or even myself going home tonight if Kimber sticks with her rash choice. I�m going to get talking to her. I really wanted Sebastian to go home. I don�t see it happening but anything could happen at this point. Every time Travis has asked me to do something or go with something, I have. I'm not sure I can trust Travis anymore after this vote, if he can't go with one thing I suggest and that will be better for us long term, I'm pretty sure I have lost trust and all faith is Travis. [Tribal Council #10- Punto Tombo Tribe] Come on in Punto Tombo, Sandros: Welcome to the tenth Tribal council of Survivor Patagonia. I know it has been a very high-tension week for you all. I've been reading some conversation and some confessionals and let me just say - we have a bunch of competitors here. No doubt in my mind this vote coming up will be tough. Let me start of with a few questions. Ray, what did you think of that last challenge? What was the mood at around camp afterward? You were pegged as the guy who "thinks" he is in power. How did that make you feel? Ray: The last challenge was fun; it let the tribe see what everyone thought of everything and everyone. I still say the mood around camp was positive after the challenge. As the guy who was pegged he was in power, doesn't bother me because it doesn't matter who has the power now but who has the power at the end of this game. Sandros: Shuri, how do you feel about the first Immunity win? You dominated in the last challenge... What there any strategy that aided the win today? People seem to think you're the dog to beat in this game. Is that a lot to live up too, or are you worried about that statement coming back to haunt you? Shuri: Winning Immunity felt great. Knowing that there is now way you are going home definitely gives you a little confidence, haha. There was a bit of strategy used. For every question I answered myself, I put the same answer as for what the tribe thought. I guess that aided my win if you want to say. If people want to think I'm the one to win the game, I'll let them think that. Because then it won't come to them as a shock when I make it to the end. That's what I came here to do and now that I'm so close. I can hardly see it any other way. From the question I gathered that you thought maybe these people will band together and get rid of me because it is well known that I'm the one to beat. It sort of scares me, but I've played my cards well. So I don't see it happening. Sandros: Landon, you've come a long way since those old days at Rio, has your strategy changed since those first few days? This past challenge, you were pinned as the irritating cast member, never going to be able to win the f2 vote...because of this, do you think you might stick around longer? Possibly being easy to beat in the finals. Landon: Absolutely not...I mean were getting ready to hit the final 6 so if think that everyone is now starting to lookout for themselves...I mean I think everyone is starting to get paranoid at least I know I am starting to because this game changes on a dime and it does exactly that... Sandros: Sebastian, the one who is supposed to leave next, according to the survey. Knowing that, how did that make you feel? What was your strategy coming into this coucil, being fully aware that your head was possibly on the chopping block? Sebastian: I was shocked...I had no clue I was in danger of going next, but from what I've heard I'm safe, and I really hope it's true. Sandros: Eloy: You slid through the cracks during our last challenge. Maybe you're neutral on everyone scale. With that said, how do you feel tonight, and what is your vote based on? Eloy: Yeah, I don't talk to everyone much so I didn't expect to win Immunity. This round has been a little rough. It annoys me that people like Shuri who turned her back on me after the first round would expect me to side with her and vote whoever she wanted. We are the oldest people in this tribe but she lack maturity. Shuri, threats don't work with me. So therefore I refuse to vote with you. It amazed me that people are afraid of her and some even refuse to make their own decision because they're scared. The vote is basically going to come down to me or Landon I believe. If I get voted out there Shuri has a lot of power in the game for she told me that I should have gone along with her and now she would have to turn the tables on me. So if I�m out, I definitely hope she wins because she'll deserve it. It'll definitely show me who has balls and who doesn't. Sandros: Travis, in the last challenge, you were said to be the biggest challenge threat left in the game, and usually people are always gunning for those players in Survivor. How do you feel knowing that everyone us fully aware of your cards? Nervous about the vote? Travis: Even before this challenge I didn't think it was a secret that I was decent at challenges. So when I saw that everyone said that..it didn't surprise me in the least. Yes I�m nervous about the vote because the options are decreasing. I don't know what's gonna happen. Sandros: Kimber: How did you feel after coming so close, but yet still so far, in the last Immunity? Was it a hard loss? How does it feel facing the vote, knowing you're still vulnerable? Kimber: If it wasn't me who won...I was happy to see Shuri win something. She has tried really hard at so many challenges in the game, back at new Magellan, and even now. So yeah, it was sweet to come close, but the loss wasn't that bad. Facing the vote tonight I'm feeling good. Before the vote, I always try to situate myself, and my buddies in a way that we will be safe from the boot. That plot has been working so far in the game up until this vote. One of my allies from early on in the game didn't want to take my word when it came to this vote. I had covered the bases for us - this vote and next vote and probably till the final 4 but someone didn't trust me. He refused to go along with it. As you know, trust is a big part of the game at this point�and I thought I could trust the person being in the game with them for about 4 weeks now. He can't be trusted in my eyes. Sandros: Alright guys. Everyone said their piece...now I�ll reveal the votes. Once the votes are read the decision is final. Person voted out will be asked to leave the Tribal Council area immediately. I'll read the votes... FIRST VOTE... SEBASTIAN SECOND VOTE... RAY... THIRD VOTE... KIMBER... That 1 for Sebastian, 1 for Ray, and 1 for Kimber. FOURTH VOTE... RAY... FIFTH VOTE... ELOY... Thats 2 for Ray, 1 for Eloy, 1 for Sebastian, 1 for Kimber. SIXTH VOTE... The tenth person voted out of Survivor Patagonia...3rd member of our jury... Sandros: RAY! I'm sorry man, but by a vote of 4-1-1-1, THE TRIBE HAS SPOKEN! You've had some uphill battles, and some easy times here in this game Ray. For a while you were my choice to win, but the luck of the draw wasn't in your favor this time. Thank you so much for playing my game - give yourself a pat on the back for a job well done. As for now your role in this game switches from a player - to a juror. You are now part of the Jury along with Joey, and Megan. Please send me your final words Ray. I know you've had your own unique experience here out in Patagonia. I probably know the most about you as a person and your role in this game, because you leave this game with by far the most Survival Points, and for that alone I want you to keep in mind playing my all-star season. But if you will, please send me some closing statements on what you thought of your experience in this game, and in Patagonia. As for the final six -- Eloy Kimber Sebastian Travis Shuri Landon -- You have all survived another one. You can head back to camp -- be sure to send confessionals in. Each of you must send in a confessional about what you feel/think in order to take part in the next Immunity challenge. See ya then! [Ray�s Final Words] I have had such a great time playing this game with everyone. If I could turn back time I would probably be a little more open to Travis� idea, and I should have stuck with Kimber too, my original alliance in the game. Looking back on my game, I�m very proud of how far I�ve come and how well I�ve done here. I�m ticked off because I wanted to play more, I feel like I really had a shot at winning. I wish things could have turned out differently but you win some and you lose some. What�s the use in sitting and complaining about how things haven�t gone my way? I�ll see everyone on the jury and at the final vote! The timing of this couldn't have been more perfect. Regardless if I was voted out or not, I was going to be leaving tonight. My health took a turn for the worse and thats my primary concern right now, as much as I like survivor its not life or death. Its a little frustrating to have this happen to me and not get the chance to play my game down the stretch, but I've had plenty of success in these games and I know my moment will come again one day. Travis might have been voted the biggest threat, but I feel I was the biggest threat in this game so I'm a little surprised that I wasn't cut off much sooner. The only gripes I had about this game was I wished in the beginning I would have won those challenges when on Rio, and the other thing I wished people were more talkative in this game because nobody really said much until it was time for tribal council. I'm not really sure who I want to see win, I'll just have to wait and see who is in the final 2 and take it from there. I thank the host for giving me the opportunity to play the game and doing a great job of hosting. Maybe if I'm lucky I'll make the all star game and get the chance to play this all over again. Closing Statements: I thought this game was unique and quite entertaining. Every twist and turn had something different and you didn't know what to expect, so I had to be sharp everyday. This game had some of the most unique and unusual twists I have ever seen before which made this game so great. Some people in this game were boring, others were interesting, and some were just well not really fun to be around. Here is one word I would descibe everyone I played with in the game: Kimber - Deceptive /Shuri - Overconfident /Eloy - Paranoid /Travis - Stubborn /Sebastion - Weak /Landon - Nieve /Meghan - Worthless /Joey - Threat /Adam - Silent /Joel - Mean /Parisa - Friendly /Brian - Manipulative /Aaron - Deadweight [Ray�s Reason] I don't want to see you win this game Kimber. [Landon�s Reason] I�m really sorry man I didn�t want to do this but this is what the tribe had decided on...I hope to remain friends with u after the game...take care Ray. [Sebastian�s Reason] You're plotting to get rid of me, so there for you can get voted off for all I care, I'm scared you have Immunity Idol, but oh well, if you do go, seventh isn't that bad I suppose. Bye Eloy! [Shuri�s Reason] I�m immune and you�re not Ray. Don�t you wish you won immunity? I�m voting for you because I know you really dislike me. I think it�s quite comical that you�re do intimidated by me. [Eloy�s Reason] I don�t connect with you, so why should I save you? [Travis� Reason] Ray, it sucks that it came down to this but I�m voting for you because you wanted me to vote you out, and because you�re strategy lately has been way off base. I can�t take it in the game anymore. It is bad for my personal staregy. [Kimber�s Reason] Good old Ray. You weren�t really supposed to go out like this. In fact, it was supposed to be me, you and Travis in the final three. This was all your doing though, so I don�t feel bad one ounce.
