SURVIVOR : MADAGASCAR - Episode 3.
"All I Want For Christmas Is Not Getting Voted Out"

PREVIOUSLY ON SURVIVOR: Clémensia became the first member of NIHARAM's tribe to be voted out, after loosing the immunity challenge, in which many pointed a responsible in Val. Bingo saved himself thanks to the hidden immunity idol. In the IREO's tribe, things are still a bit tense between Hugo and Nadia but do they really hate each other that much, for a game ? The hidden immunity idol seems the only way for some to survive in the game, social skills seem not to be in their blood. Fourteen are left, who will be voted out tonight ?!?

NIGHT 6 @ NIHARAM's TRIBE.

Nathalie: Congratulations Bingo on using your idol. You definitely deserve to stay here after using it like this.
Bingo: Are you... sincere ?
Nathalie: I totally am!
Bingo: Wow!
Huberta: Nathalie is right. Even though we wanted you out, you played well!
Bingo: Thanks !
Marie: It's just amazing how nobody had any idea about it. You are a killer, Bing!
Bingo: Oh Marie, don't start. I'm gonna blush. I'm telling you!

DR:
Bingo (Niharam): They all came to congratulate me after the tribal council. I wasn't expecting it. I don't know if they are geniuine or just playing me but it warms me so much.

Bingo and Marie seem to get closer and closer and have fun together which annoys Jonas a bit that is giving them not very warm looks.

DR:
Jonas (Niharam): Marie and I have bonded pretty well since we're here, almost a week. Seeing her close to Bingo makes me wonder if she's that honest. I mean, obviously, Bingo is the king of the night, after using his idol, but he just played a f**** idol, you know ? I have sensation that it is so overrated.

The tribe all ends up being asleep.

DAY 7. NIHARAM's TRIBE.

The tribe seems to being awaken since a few minutes only. Nathalie and Marie are cooking some rice. 
Nathalie: We're gonna use portions in order to have enough for the entire day.
Marie: Okay.

Mike and Jonas decide to go for some fishing and enjoy the moment to talk about strategies to come.
Jonas: I think Bingo is a strong member of this tribe.
Mike: For sure.
Jonas: And it annoys me clearly to see him close to Marie. But, you know what ? I want to keep him the longer here.
Mike: Really ?
Jonas: I don't know, I feel he can be way useful, he seems sensible, you know ? And the fact that the whole tribe isn't very nice with him, makes him more than fragile. 
Mike: Mmm. Well, yeah.
Jonas: Just imagine, after the merge ? 
Mike: Wait. After the merge, he probably will turn against us ! Don't you think ?
Jonas: Well, we should start trust him and bond, you know ?
Mike: I'm sure he'll backstab us when he'll get the opportunity ! He's in a perfect position if he goes until the merge.

DR:
Mike (Niharam): I don't want to keep Bingo inside this tribe, and I think it's safe to get rid of him now, before it is never. 

Bingo explains to Marie that now that he used his idol, there will be another idol in the island and they should look for it right now before someone else gets the idea too.
Marie: Yep. 
Bingo: Let's look for it, but let's be discreet.
Marie: No problem, Bing.
Bingo: Let's promise something to each other.
Marie: ?
Bingo: Let's promise we tell one another about the idol if we find it.
Marie: Of course, Bing! It's in my interests and in yours.
Bingo: Great.

DR:
Bingo (Niharam): Marie is definitely the member of my tribe that I trust the most. She's just very nice with me, and she has some craziness, she wants to play the game, completely, and she wants to play a rebellous game, she's just the person I need the most here, right now.

NIGHT 7. IREO's TRIBE.

Hugo is shaking a lot, he seems to be freezing. Surprisingly, Nadia seems a bit sad for him even though she knows Hugo is her enemy n°1 in this tribe.
Nadia: I'm gonna search you a blanket.
Hugo: Thanks;
Nadia: Zack, stay with him.

DR: 
Nadia (Ireo): Hugo seems to be suffering and of course it kills me, I'm not a heartless bitch. I know he's my main enemy though, and if Karma can get even for me, it'll be with a pleasuricious acceptance, to be honest !

DAY 8. IREO's TRIBE.

Amanda: Hey, guys. I realize there is absolutely no sign of a reward challenge...
Davia: Yeah. That's weird, isn't it ?
Amanda: I believe if there's no sign of it, maybe the reward challenge will be with the immunity one.
Liam: Oh, probably, Amanda. I'm still fascinated with how you succeed to preceive things right !
Amanda: Life taught me!

DR:
Liam (Ireo): Amanda has a tons of qualities, I couldn't numbered them all, but she's a great player, she is very smart and she knows how to be with anyone, you know ? She has this talent to stand well and people listen to her, and somehow they want to fight with her and her opinions but they can't for too long, because she has too much qualities, it almost hypnotizes you.

Zack is checking on Hugo to see if he's ok, and thankfully he is. Stefan in the other hand goes to look for the Idol, he goes into the woods.

DR:
Stefan (Ireo): I want to protect my ass in case of becomng the next target, this game is really unpredictible, and we are getting weak days after days, and people are on edge. Well, unfortunately I didn't find it today. :-\

Nadia and Davia are talking in the shelter.
Davia: I can't believe that we can't find the flint.  We're missing something!
Nadia: i don't understand how it is possible to loose it, but overall to not find back! I mean... ewww, what kind of team are we for loosing the flint and not finding it back ?

NIHARAM's TRIBE.

Nathalie is with Huberta, Mike and Val in the beach. Nathalie is asking them if they are still willing to get rid of Bingo in another tribal council, Huberta, Mike and Val are more than ever, willing to vote him out. That makes Nathalie glad.
Nathalie: Please, guys, do not say anything to Jonas and Marie. They're getting close to Bingo, days after days.
Val: I've noticed.
Nathalie: I think we all noticed, and let's play it safe.
Mike: I spoke to Jonas yesterday, he wants to keep Bingo a little more! I really don't think it's a good idea.
Nathalie: That's definitely not a good idea.

DR:
Nathalie (Niharam): Jonas and Marie are getting very close to Bingo since a few days now, it's like they're having their little army, thankfully there is nothing solid yet, but it's scary because they would need one or two other members, and they could decide of everything, and I came here to outplay, and outlast, so I'm gonna fight.

Marie in the woods, finds the hidden immunity idol. She's more than fine!!!
Marie: Oh my. Oh my. :D

DR:
Marie (Niharam): We promised to each other with  Bingo to tell it if one of us finds the idol, I found it, and I'm soooo happy! But I decidede not to tell him for now and keep it secret. The reason is that I should ask to myself what decision is the best for me. If I don't tell him about the idol, I'll not have to use it on him, and he'll be voted out, which makes me weak for the next days, I would be with Jonas, but we would be two, and not three, and I'm thinking about the rest of the game, the connection I have with Jonas and Bingo is being stronger and stronger that I really feel confident about a future with them in an alliance in this game.

DAY 9 - REWARD & IMMUNITY CHALLENGE. 

Jeff: Once again, immunity is back up for grabs !

For this week's immunity challenge that also counts as a RC, two pairs from each tribe will have to race through obstacles. The first pair of each tribe runs the first half of the course that involves swinging on a rope and scaling a wall before meeting up with the second pair at an obstacle of trap holes. The second pair will have to run for the second half of the course and gets pieces of puzzles. Once they have it they have to run the fastest to the rest of their tribe waiting for them, they are the ones that will work with the puzzle. First to finish the puzzle wins immunity. 

Jeff: Let's get started. For immunity, survivors ready, GO !

"Amanda and Hugo (Ireo) and Bingo and Jonas (Niharam) for the first half of the course. Both pairs are doing great, trying to be quick and pass the obstacles. Bingo and Jonas are the first to meet up with the second pair which is Mike and Valentin. Amanda and Hugo finally meet up with their second pair : Nadia and Stefan. NIHARAM pair is getting a great advance while Nadia and Stefan are just starting. Mike and Val finally arrive and the rest of the members from NIHARAM tribe starts working on the puzzle."

Davia: They let males passing the obstacles ! Why didn't we think about it ?
Liam: It's ok, we still can beat them! 

"Nadia and Stefan from IREO finally arrive and the rest of the members from IREO tribe starts working on the puzzle too. It seems nothing's done yet. Davia, Liam and Zack are working on the puzzle for the Ireo Tribe and try to be zen but Davia seems a bit stressed, she's looking at the other tribe and the other tribe's puzzle. Nathalie, Marie and Huberta are working on their puzzle and seem to be very panicking, making speed moves but not right ones. In the end, IREO finishes the puzzle first and wins REWARD and IMMUNITY".

Davia: Oh my gosh, we did it ??!! :D

"The Ireo tribe is definitely happy! What a great victory! NIHARAM is disgusted, disappointed, having the head down."

Jeff: Congratulations Ireo, it's your second individual immunity, you are definitely safe and are going to enjoy a great reward. Wanna know what it is ?
Zack: Please, Jeff !

"Jeff opens the plate".

Jeff: Fried chicken, pork chops, barbecue sauce, salad and fruits!
Liam: This is greeeeat !
Marie: Oh my god... they're so lucky. :\
Jeff: NIHARAM ? I have nothing for you, except a date with me tonight at tribal where somebody will be the third person voted out of this game! 

DR:
Marie (Niharam): Once again we lost a challenge, and not that's a big loss because the reward is just exceptional, but also we lost the immunity, and that's the most important here! I found an idol, and I still don't know if I should tell Bingo about it or just keep it as a secret!
-
Nathalie (Niharam): Loosing immunity really is a terrible thing. In last tribal council, Bingo used his idol, something we really did not expect, what if he still has an idol ? I'm pretty much aligned with everyone here, minus Bingo, Marie, and a bit Jonas. So I know that I, Huberta, Mike, and Val haven't the idol. Bingo, Marie or Jonas has it ? I don't know and I think we're going to consider splitting votes because if we all vote out Bingo, things will get like the last tribal and I think I'll be in great danger as I'm sure I'm his next target !

DAY 9 - NIHARAM's TRIBE.

Nathalie, Huberta, Val, and Mike are reunited in the beach, the sun is about to get down. They're making strategies and thinking about what could be the best for them. They still wondering what if Bingo has the immunity idol.
Nathalie: I would've loved to split votes but that will make Jonas, Marie and Bingo in a majority now that I'm thinking about it.
Mike: Yeah. It'll be a 2-2...
Nathalie: Or, three of us vote the same, and one of us vote something else. It's still splitting votes. I need to have a chat with Jonas to see what they plan to do and if he's part of their plan !

DR: 
Nathalie (Niharam): I'm trying to understand the impact of splitting votes, maybe it would be useless, maybe it would be just a suicide, I'm trying to think straight, and it's hard with the lack of food, and energy. 

Nathalie: Hey. 
Jonas: Hey, what's up ?
Nathalie: I want to see your best interest and I would like to talk to you with my heart, but also with my game heart, you know ?
Jonas: Yeah I think I do.
Nathalie: Great. Umm... I feel Bingo and Marie are very close... Did you notice ?
Jonas: I have noticed and I will tell you that it upsets me at some level but I think I'm just ok with it.
Nathalie: I feel like Marie is completely into Bingo. And it afraids me a little because I've learned something pretty bad.
Jonas: What did you learn ?
Nathalie: Well, Val told me he heard Marie saying the orgasm she would get for this game would be to betrayal someone she's closed to. And Val thinks she's not talking about Bingo, but about you.
Jonas: Wow.
Nathalie: I know, that's tough!

DR:
Jonas (Niharam): Nathalie gave me an information that I'm pretty surprised to hear, about Marie. Nathalie wants me to join her boat to split votes and be sure to get rid of Bingo because they all think he could have an idol, and I'm not really sure he has one...! I'm looking for my best interests and now I'm like... All I want for Christmas is not getting voted out. 

Marie: I need to tell you something!
Bingo: Tell me.
Marie: I have an idol!
Bingo: No way ? :D
Marie: Fuck yeah (laughs), but shhhh!
Bingo: Yeah shh. I'm so glad. Once again the game is going to be on our side. It's just... perfect, even better than what I wished when I came here! Two times in a row (discreet laugh)
Marie: I know, amazing. 

DR:
Bingo (Niharam): Marie told me she has found the idol! I'm just so glad because I know I'm gonna be safe tonight :-)

"Niharam tribe get their torches and go to the tribal council, their second one".

NIHARAM is now at tribal, with Jeff, asking questions. 

Jeff: So. Second time in a row that you are here, at tribal. How do you guys feel with loosing today's challenge ?
Jonas: I think we feel terrible, we feel like real loosers, you know ?
Jeff: Is there a weakest link ? Someone retarding everything ?
Nathalie: I don't think so, Jeff! We all have our weaknesses but we gave our best in that challenge today, we were first to start with the puzzle, and.. I think it's just a matter of rapidity and Ireo has been rapid.
Jeff: Bingo, how safe do you feel about tonight ? You've been unanimously voted out at last tirbal but thanks to your idol, you've been safe.
Bingo: I.. umm, how safe do I feel about tonight ? I don't feel safe, Jeff.
(Marie is looking at him, the others too)
Bingo: I think I'm going to be voted out and unfortunately, I have no idols in my hands, not this time.
(Nathalie makes a blink to Huberta and Val. Val makes a blink to Mike)
Jeff: So, you think it will again be a unanimous vote ?
Bingo: I think that... mm... Marie and Jonas are the only one maybe not voting me out, the rest definitely are going to vote me out.
Jeff: OK. And don't you want to convince them ?
Bingo: Well, if I try to convince them they're gonna turn against Marie, and I bonded with her a lot and she doesn't deserve to be put in a bad position.
Jeff: So to be clear, everyone is going to vote Bingo out, except you Bingo, and you Marie and Jonas.
Nathalie: Jeff. We still haven't voted, but I guess it's what we all are going to vote. I just want to tell to Bingo that we aren't mad at you anymore for the reward challenge in which you cheated. At least, I am not mad at you anymore.
Bingo: Thanks, Nath.
Jeff: OK. It's time to vote! Bingo, you're up !

"It's time for the Niharam tribe to vote one by one."

Bingo: *voting Nathalie* It's a bit too late for saying you're not mad anymore, you're going home.

Nathalie: *voting Marie* You're a nice girl, but voting Bingo out tonight is a risky move.

"Once everyone voted off, Jeff goes get the votes and comes back".

Jeff: If anybody has a hidden immunity idol and you want to play it, now would be the time to do so...

"Everyone is looking everywhere, then Marie gets up with an idol and goes to Jeff".

Huberta: Oh my gosh.
Val: I can't believe it.
(Nathalie bittersmiles, a bit disgusted and sighing)
Nathalie: Unbelievable. 

"Marie gives the idol to Jeff"
Jeff: Thanks.
Marie: I'd like to use it for Bingo!

(Nathalie gets her head up, more than surprised. Marie goes back to her sit)
Nathalie: Ohh. :)

*Jeff examintates the idol*
Jeff: This is a hidden immunity idol! Any votes cast for Bingo, will not count.
Bingo: I like it, man!!!

Jeff: I read the votes !

Jeff: First vote... : "Nathalie".

*Marie and Bingo smile and does a check with their hand*

Jeff: Second vote... : "Nathalie".

Nathalie: Interesting. I have two votes...
Val: How sad (discreet smile)

Jeff: Third vote... : "Marie".

*Marie has her face shocked and broken. Same goes for Bingo*

Jeff: Fourth vote... : "Marie"

*Marie seems a bit mad and sad, but still having hopes*

Bingo (whispering to Marie): Let's just hope they splitted the votes and I got more votes than you.

Jeff: Fifth vote... : "Marie"

Jeff: Third person voted out of Survivor Madagascar : "Marie". That's four, that's enough, you need to bring me your torch.
Bingo: Wow.

"Nathalie smiles"

Nathalie (whispering to Jonas): You've made the right choice.
Jonas: I hope so.

"Marie comes to Jeff".

Jeff: Marie. Tribe has spoken.

"Jeff turns off her torch".

Jeff: Time for you to go!

"Marie leaves".
