What have you learned here?
Immunity is at stake.
Now do it again.
MICKEY: It doesn’t rhyme. It doesn’t go “AABB”, like the others. It’s different.
GEORGIA: It’s a haiku. It’s a form of poetry created by the Japanese.
ROGER: It’s un-American, is what it is.
GEORGIA: Well, I think it’s kind of a nice change. Lord knows they’re running out of ideas around here.
TORGO: What kind of…. DESPERATE, … unimaginative… MORON… writes things in…. HAIKU?
EULABELLE: “Do it again”? Are we going to have to write a haiku?
GEORGIA. No, I don’t think so. It would be a pointless game. Complete waste of time.
[Immunity Challenge]
JEFF PROBST: Survivors, welcome to another Immunity Challenge. First, Roger, I’ll need to take the Immunity Necklace back. [Roger hands it over.] All right, as I’m sure everyone has noticed, we’re in the home stretch of the Game, and we’ve long since run out of ideas. So today’s Immunity Challenge combines elements from several of the previous Challenges.
GEORGIA: So you’re basically “cannibalizing” the Game. Funny, the last time the topic came up, you all got freaked out about it.
JEFF PROBST: The key to Survivor is adapting to change.
TORGO: What? How is… THAT… relevant?
JEFF PROBST: Three more days. Just three more days. OK, here’s how this one works. You’ll start by taking your pile of ice blocks and building an igloo on the base of your travois. Assemble the rest of your travois, and drag it down the course marked in front of you. At the end of the course is a plate containing eight ounces of walrus blubber. You must eat all of the blubber before going to the next stage. There, you will find a question about the Inuit warrior. Throw a kaliaak at the target corresponding to the correct answer. First Survivor to knock over the correct target wins Immunity. Survivors, ready? GO!
[The Survivors start building their igloos. Mickey gets off to a slow start, wasting time trying to pick up a third ice block when it’s clear he can only handle two at a time. Torgo is the first to assemble his igloo, while Eulabelle and Georgia, weak from hunger, struggle with the ice blocks. Roger finishes his igloo soon after Torgo, and Mickey is about a minute behind Roger. Torgo is also the first to complete assembly of his travois, but stumbles several times dragging it down the course. Roger passes him easily, reaching the blubber station with Mickey not far behind.]
ROGER: Oh, Ah hates blubber, Ah tell yew what! Maybe if Ah pretended it was a Krispy Kreme…
[Mickey reaches the blubber station and swallows the blubber in one gulp. He then proceeds to the next stage, which is a question about the Inuit warrior.]
MICKEY: “An Inuit warrior leaves this world by being cast adrift on an ice floe, or thrown into a volcano?” Let’s see now. Got to think. [Begins forming a kaliaak.] Try to think like an Inuit. “I’ll wait here, while you throw me into the volcano”? No. That doesn’t make sense. Conflicting ideas.
[Roger has finished his blubber and is fast approaching the final stage.]
MICKEY: “I’ll wait here, on this ice floe.” I guess that makes some sense. Either way, you’re gone, and you don’t come back. Probably. But the waiting makes more sense with the ice floe. Waiting… waiting… for the sweet release of…
[Mickey throws his kaliaak at the target marked “Ice Floe”, knocking it over.]
JEFF PROBST: Congratulations, Mickey! You have, once again, won Immunity. [Jeff gives Mickey the Immunity Necklace.]
GEORGIA: See? I told you! But would you listen to me? No! “Oooh! Tribal Loyalty is so important!”
JEFF PROBST: All right, I’ll see everyone tonight, at what is sure to be a dramatic Tribal Council.
[Tribal Council]
JEFF PROBST: Welcome, Survivors, to Tribal Council. Let’s bring in the Jury. [Ruby, Neil, Melissa, and Mr. B Natural file in.] Before we vote, I’d like to ask Georgia something. Georgia, how does it feel being the last remaining member of the Sampo Tribe?
GEORGIA: I hadn’t really noticed. Once the Tribes merged, I put all that old “us versus them” stuff out of my mind.
JEFF PROBST: Well, you must have noticed that the last three people voted out were all members of Sampo. And you’re the only one left.
GEORGIA: Really? Huh. I don’t think that matters to anyone; we’re all members of the Rowsdower Tribe now.
EULABELLE: Denial ain’t just a river, honey.
GEORGIA: Oh, thank you, Madame Cleo.
JEFF PROBST: OK. It’s time to vote.
[The five remaining Survivors cast their votes. True to form, Torgo votes last, and brings the bowl of votes to Jeff.]
JEFF PROBST: Just in case anyone has forgotten: once the votes are tallied, the person receiving the most votes will be asked to leave the Tribal Council area immediately. I’ll read the votes.
First vote: Georgia.
Second vote: Georgia. That’s two for Georgia.
The third vote: Georgia. That’s enough. Come up here, Georgia, and bring your torch.
GEORGIA: That’s it?
JEFF PROBST: That’s it.
GEORGIA: Well, this is a first. You didn’t read the greatest possible number of votes. I mean, I know I didn’t vote for myself. How come you didn’t read my vote?
JEFF PROBST: Like it matters. Now, come up here. Bip! [Georgia approaches Jeff with her torch.] The Tribe has spoken. [Extinguishes torch, and Georgia leaves].
All right, after 36 days in the Yukon, this is what it has come down to: Four players left, three more days, a two-hour finale, and a one-hour Reunion Special so that the losers can have some more face time. You can head back to camp. I’ll see you tomorrow.
[Confessional]
GEORGIA: Well, it’s over. I was close, so close, to being in the Final Four. That’s where the prestige is. If you’re in the Final Four, you get all kinds of offers to do endorsements and TV shows. What do you get for coming in fifth? Charity. The occasional commentary in TV Guide, for the next series. An appearance on ‘Howard Stern’. Where some lowlife will call in and ask “The Question”. The question they ask every woman who goes on that show. And the other question. Well, I’ll give you the answers right now, and save everyone a lot of trouble. No, and yes. OK, I had an awesome time in the Yukon, it’s an experience I’ll never forget, blah blah blah. Can I go now?
