Jeff Probsts (voiceover): "Previously on..Survivor!"

We see the 16 castaways taking apart the boat and jumping into their rafts, Faith singing show tunes, Buffy building her alliance with Angel, Gunn, and Willow, the two teams competing in the Immunity/Reward challenge, Anya thinking that she's part of the Alliance, and Wesley getting voted off the island.

Words on the bottom of the screen: Day 4.

We see a glorious beach, and a beautiful sunrise glittering against the still water. Pan over to see most of Tagi Tribe sleeping peacefully. Riley is sleeping like a baby (literally). He is curled up and his thumb is in his mouth. He holding his luxury item, a picture of Bessie.

The only people missing are Buffy and Angel. Now we see that they are walking down the beach, hand in hand.

Buffy: "I feel bad for Cordelia and Anya...making them think they're part of this huge plan we have."

Angel: "But Buffy, they aren't exactly assets to this team. What have they done so far other than show off their bodies?"

Buffy: "I know, I know...I just wish we didn't have to get rid of two girls. What about Giles? We could get rid of Giles!"

Angel: "He may not be the strongest person on this team, but he works. You've got to give him that much."

Buffy: "I hate it when you're right." She smiles at him. They pause to look at each other, and are about to go into a kiss when-

"SPIDER!!"

Buffy and Angel rush over to find Cordelia freaking out because she saw a spider. Buffy tries to comfort Cordy while Angel gets some cooks some breakfast (rice, again). Unnoticed by Buffy (or so Cordy thinks), Cordy starts sending Angel sexy looks.

Interview with Buffy: "I hate this, because I am so damn attracted to Angel, and I think he likes me, but Cordy has to go and ruin it all!! Spider? Whatever, she's such a fake!""

The others eventually wake up and Tagi eat their breakfast in peace. Buffy is clearly feeling back about lying to Anya, and is on the verge of telling her the truth, but keeps her mouth shut throughout the whole meal, while shooting evil looks Cordelia's way.

Interview with Willow: "Buffy was talking to me today, and I feel really bad for her because her and Angel make such a great couple!! But Cordelia is so determined from stealing Angel away from her...I think that after we get rid of Riley, we should get rid of Cordelia, because Anya is working harder now and she's way nicer than Cordelia. I don't want to lose a whole bunch of my tribe memebers, but if we lose the next two immunity challenges, Riley's gone, then Cordelia."

Cut to the Pagong tribe. Fred, Tara, Oz and Xander have clearly been up all night working on the shelter. Faith and Spike are sleeping near the water, somewhat dressed, and Joyce is just waking up.

Joyce: "Oh...Did I fall asleep?"

Fred, Oz, Xander and Tara look at each other, then back at Joyce and stifle a laugh. Joyce flops back down on the sand and groans.

Interview with Tara and Fred: (Tara) "I f-feel sorry for Joyce, she's really tired all the time, and she misses her daughter, Dawn. (Fred) She's really nice though...and shes tries to help out, but she's just...not very good at it. If we lose the next immunity challenge, I don't know who will go. Everyone is vulnerable."

Faith and Spike start waking up. Once fully up and about, they join the rest of their tribe, who are cooking breakfast {hey, it's rice!} over the fire from their Tribal Council torches. First they start gently kissing each other, then it becomes more passionate and they start making out.

Everyone else looks at them, disgusted. Suddenly, Faith pulls away and looks everyone.

Faith: "What?!" Then she notices the shelter they spent all night making. "Dude, we have a shelter!!"

Tara: "No, Faith. WE have a shelter. You don't. You can sleep on the beach."

Everyone stares at the usually-shy Tara for being so forward with Faith. She shrugs and blushes furiously. Faith steps towards her, and Tara looks terrified.

Faith: "Listen, you may think that you're All That And More, but let me tell you something missy. I am *not* one to mess with." With that, Faith walks away, past the trees. Spike follows, giving Tara and Xander the finger.

Xander: "Why does he hate me?"

Tara bursts into tears, and she starts shaking. Everyone goes to hug her.

Tara: "I-I n-never should ha-have done that, I'm s-so stupid! Now she hates m-me, and they-they'll try to get rid of me!"

Interview with Fred: "I feel so bad for Tara, I really hope Faith or goes...she's mean to all of us, especially Tara. And I don't understand why Spike hates Xander so much, Xander hasn't done anything to them. Faith and Spike are just mean people."

Commercial Break: "Juicy Fruit-Unwrap and Enjoy."

Shot of Cordelia sunbathing and Riley cradling his picture of Bessie {is this getting old yet?}. Anya, Willow, Giles and Gunn are working to expand their hut. But where are Buffy and Angel?

Buffy: "Ok you guys, we'll be back in about half an hour!" Her and Angel have a backpack, and are obviously about to go collect some more firewood. The camera shows that they have a full pile already.

Cordelia: "What?! You guys are going? Together?"

Buffy: "It's just firewood Cordelia."

Cordy: "Well y'know, firewood can get heavy, and um, maybe I should help."

Angel: "I really don't think..."

Cordy: "Yes, you do!!" Cordy stops suntanning and runs over to Buffy and Angel, eager to make sure they don't have ANY time alone with each other.

Cordy: "The THREE of us will be back in half an hour!"

Interview with Willow and Gun: (Willow) "It was just getting sad, I mean Cordy wouldn't give up!! (Gunn) We thought that Buffy and Angel deserved some time alone together."

We see Cordy, Angel and Buffy walking through jungle together, not talking. They're not even bothering to pick up firewood. Angel and Buffy both look annoyed, but Cordy appears to be ecstatic.

Back at the Tagi Beach, Willow, Anya, Giles are discussing the matter at hand.

Giles: "I can't stand Cordelia's behaviour. It's horrrid!!"

Gunn: "Down, boy!"

Anya: "I can't believe I was ever friends with her..."

Willow: "We forgive you for starting a friendship with the evil bitch-monster-from-hell."

Giles: "Language, Willow!"

Willow: "Sorry, Giles. But really, we need to get it across to her that Angel is with Buffy. I mean, they make such a great couple. And she can't see that. She's insane."

They all think for a minute.

Anya: "We could purposely mess up the Immunity challenge. Right now, I'd rather get rid of Cordelia than Riley. At least Riley just stays off by himself now."

They all look at Riley, who's sitting near the water by himself.

Willow: "I've got it!!"

Commercial Break: "Lord of the Rings, now on video and DVD."

We now see that the Tagi has made a makeshift table and two chairs. It's situated right by the fire, which is softly glowing. Gunn has busied himself cooking the rest of the wild boar, while Willow and Anya anxiously set the table. Giles keeps watch for a sign of Buffy and Angel.

Suddenly they step out of the trees and see what their tribe has done for them. Buffy gasps and nearly starts to cry. Angel wraps his arm around her, and Cordelia looks excited.

Cordy: "You guys did this all for Angel and me?!"

Willow: "Um...this is for Buffy and Angel."

Cordy looks confused, and Willow mutters something to her quietly. Cordy shoots evil glances Buffy and Angel's way, but the couple doesn't notice them. They sit themselves down at the table (Angel, being the gentleman that he is, pullls her chair out for her) and hold hands across the table. Gunn comes over and serves them dinner.

The rest of the Tagi Tribe (including Riley and Cordy) head into the jungle, planning to stay there for a while to give Buffy and Angel some alone time.

A camera shows the couple having dinner from several metres away. Angel says something and Buffy laughs. They look as though they are having the best time of their life.

Commercial Break: {Wait, didn't we just have on of these?} Big Brother 3, on every Wednesday, Thursday, and Saturday {Hmm...I thought this was Survivor! What's going on?}

This time it's a shot of the bright blue cloudless sky. Words on the screen say Day 5. At Pagong, Faith and Spike are nowhere to be found, but no one is worried. They'll turn up eventually.

Now the camera shows Fred reading the treemail.

Fred: "To this special repast
We are making Fafaru
With luck you may last

Cut to Anya reading the treemail to her tribe as well:
"You might find it repulsive
But please don't feel queasy
If the result is expulsive
The vote will be easy."

Cordy: "Are we gonna have to eat something gross?!"

Buffy: "Sounds like it."

Cordy just scowls, but everyone ignores her. The Tagi tribe are situated on logs around the fire. Riley and Cordelia sit next to each other. The two seem to have bonded, both being going through a "hard time." Buffy sits on Angel's lap, who sits next to Willow, Gunn, Anya and Giles.

Now we see both tribes (including Spike and Faith of Pagong) climbing to a clearing in the jungle. There is a low table, with 8 multi-coloured pillows along one side, and 7 on the other. The tribes situate themselves along the table. Jeff Probsts sits down at the end of the table.

Jeff Probsts: "Welcome to your second challenge. I like to call it 'Bugging Out.'"

He pulls out a jar from underneat the table. In it are dozens of *butoks*, or beetle larvae. Close-up shows that they are each about 3 inches long and about half an inch around.

Jeff Probsts: "Each member of your tribe will have two minutes to consume one of these butoks. Whichever tribe eats more will be named the winner, and will win the immunity idol. Tagi, because you have one extra member someone will have to sit this one out."

Cordelia: "Me!"

Tagi nods in agreement, realizing that there's no way Cordelia would eat one anyways. They officially name Cordy as the member to sit out.

Jeff Probsts: "Let the feast begin!"

He begins with Pagong. The guys go first. Oz downs his butok with no problem, almost {I said Almost!} seeming to enjoy it. Xander hesitates but gets it over with pretty fast. Spike, being the wild crazy bleached rebel that he is, grinds it in his teeth slowly, showing the girls. Faith is next, and she is just as disgusting as Spike; she chews with her mouth open the entire time. Only Tara, Fred, and Joyce are left. Tara has difficulty with hers, and it takes her almost the entire 2 minutes to get it down. Fred, having been forced to eat worse things when she was a slave on the Pylea {Oh wait, I forgot!! Demons etc. don't exist here! *Slaps hand to forhead*}-OK, so Fred, having been forced to eat worse things when she was um...a slave in some poor undeveloped country, eats it with no problem. Joyce, no matter how hard she tries, just can't seem to do it.

Next up-Tagi. Again, the guys go first. Riley, who doesn't seem to be all there {if you know what I mean} eats it without really realizing what he's eaten. Giles doesn't seem very happy about eating bugs, but does it nonetheless. Guun is third, and is totally creeped out-beetles are his weakness. He tries, but just can't do it. Everyone else from Tagi needs to eat their bugs to tie Pagong. Angel eats his butok quickly to get it over with. Buffy has trouble, but manages to do it thanks to encouraging words from Angel. Willow eats it for the team, along with Anya.

Jeff Probsts: "Well, we have a tie. In this case, each tribe will chose one member of the opposite tribe who they think had the most trouble eating the butok. Cordelia is ineligable. Those two castaways will each have to eat one butok. Whoever eats theirs first will win immunity for their tribe."

The choices are obvious. Gunn and Joyce are selected to compete against each other. Jeff sets one butok in front of each of them.

Jeff Probsts: "On your mark...get set...GO!"

Gunn and Joyce struggle, but really do try. It's a close race, but Joyce manages to eat her butok first. Pagong is safe, and Jeff Probsts hands them the Immunity Idol as they cheer for Joyce. Gunn looks as his tribemates apologetically.

Gunn (to Angel): "Sorry, man."

Angel doesn't say anything.

Commercial Break: "Presenting the Whirlpool Conquest Refridgerator: Just imagine what you can do. Whirlpool."

'Day 6' comes up on the TV screen. We can see the Pagong Tribe, relaxing by the fire, looking much more comfortable than they have in days. Xander is eating some rice leftover from breakfast, because "Food Is Good," as he puts it. Oz is fixing up their hut with Tara, who seems to be becoming close friends with Oz quite fast. Faith and Spike are having a water fight in the ocean, and Joyce seems to pretty proud of herself for eating her butok to win immunity.

Tara (whispers): "Oz?"

Oz: "Yeah?"

Tara: "Promise me that you'll never ever vote me out."

Oz: "What?"

Tara: "I think Faith and Spike are trying to get rid of me."

Oz: "I wouldn't worry. They don't like anybody."

Tara: "Especially me."

Oz: "Tara..."

Tara: "Oz, if they campaign against me, promise that you won't vote me out. Please?"

Oz: "Of course." Tara and Oz smile at each other.

Things are very different at the Tagi Tribe. Very few people are feeling safe about tonight's Tribal Council. Nobody is sure who will go. Well, some people are.

Interview with Gunn: "It's gonna be me, I know it. I let them down at the competition, they've been avoiding me all day. I feel so stupid."

Interview with Buffy and Angel: (Buffy) "We've tried to talk to him, but every time we get close he just leaves. It's so annoying. (Angel) Yeah."

We only hear the end of a conversation Buffy is having with her alliance (Willow, Angel, and now Giles). Gunn is clearly missing.

Buffy: "So it's decided then?"

Everyone nods sadly and looks over to the beach where Cordy, Gunn, and Riley are lazing about.

Interview with Willow: "We had to take the past few days in consideration, but eventually we made a decision. And we think it's right."

It's now dark out, and the Tagi Tribe are heading to Tribal Council for the first time. Everyone is carrying their backpacks as they make the hike up to the clearing. They all sit on the logs behind on the fire where Pagong sat.

Jeff Probsts says pretty much the exact same stuff to Tagi as he did to Pagong. "Dip your torches into the fire" "Someone will be voted out tonight" "You will vote over there." Then he starts asking questions to Tagi.

Jeff Probsts: "So obviously a lot has happened in the past few days. There's been different alliances, and alliances are shifting. Buffy, you seem to have sort of appointed yourself a leader."

Buffy: "There's no way someone can make it in this game without alliances. You're right, alliances definitely are shifting. Some people aren't what I thought they were."

Jeff Probsts: "Fair enough. Willow, how are you feeling tonight?"

Willow: "Well, um..I'm feeling pretty safe. I don't think that there's a reason for me to vote me out tonight."

Jeff Probsts: "Alright. Now we'll start the voting. Giles, you're up first."

Giles gets up and walks to the voting station. He ponders his choice for a moment, then writes on the paper, looking somewhat regretful.

Giles: "He is clearly not cut out for this game." The camera is carefullly placed so that we cannot see who he voted for.

Giles sit back down, and one by one everyone from Tagi votes. Riley votes for Buffy ("I just flipped a coin," he explains"), Cordy also votes for Buffy, as does Gunn.

Gunn: "She's manipulating everyone against me. I know it. Buffy's a good person, but I guess she figures you gotta be ruthless in this game." He sadly puts the vote in the jar.

The editors carefully make sure we do not get to see Angel, Willow, and Buffy's votes. Then Jeff goes and tallies the votes while the Tagi Tribe sits nervously.

Jeff comes back with the jar in hand. He takes a deep breath and starts reading them out.

Jeff Probsts: "First vote: Riley."

Gunn looks at Buffy, and she sends him a look that means 'We-would-never-vote-for-you-because-you-only-messed-up-in-one-competition-besides-Riley-needs-to-go.' They smile, then Gunn's smile falters.

Jeff Probsts: "Second vote: Buffy."

Buffy looks at Gunn in shock, but he sends HER a look that says 'But-I-thought-you-were-voting-for-me-so-I-voted-for-you-and-I'm-sorry-please-forgive-me?' Buffy gladly forgives him.

Jeff Probsts: "Third vote: Buffy." Buffy looks at Cordelia angriliy, but Cordy just sticks her tongue out at her.

Jeff Probsts: "Third vote: Riley. Fourth Vote: Riley. That's two votes Buffy and two votes Riley. Fifth vote: Riley. Sixth vote: Buffy."

Buffy looks around, confused, but her eyes finally settle on Riley.

Jeff Probsts: "Seventh vote: Riley. Last vote...Riley. Riley, I'll ask you to bring me your torch so I can extinguish it."

Riley does so, cradling his picture of Bessie. Jeff extinguishes his torch and shows Riley the path where his cow is waiting for him. Riley's face lights up at this, and he bounds off down the path.

Jeff Probsts: "Your first Tribal Council is over."

Jeff Probsts (voice-over): "Stay tuned for scenes from the next episode."

Commercial Break: "Binders and pens for back-to-school now on sale at Staples!"

Jeff Probsts (voice-over): "Next week on...Survivor!"

We see the two tribes building stretchers, Spike and Xander getting along, Cordy, Anya and Buffy fighting, the two tribes swimming out to rafts, and a celebration dinner at Pagong for the guest of honour.
