During Tribal Council that night

*

Lyda Ruth walks up to the camera, obviously sad to be back here again. She says "I am hoping to get voted off tonight, to give the others a chance to stay a while longer, even tho no one in Ocono stands a chance of winning anyway as we are so outnumbered and if they do merge Ocono will just get picked off one at a time anyway." She has been told she cannot vote for herself and must write down a name so she chooses "Cobra" and puts her vote in the drum.

*

Lola is calm and determined as she writes a name and looks to the camera, saying, "Girls rule. Adios, Cobra - and take those roaches with you!"

*

Cobra smiles at the voting table. He says "The only tribe member that has ticked me off is Lyda!!!So, you see, that puts me in a bit of a quandary!!! Lyda is having to stay...just on general principles...so the name that floats to the surface is......drum roll.....Mandy! first name I thought of. hee hee....gotta have me some more rat next week...and make sure to offer it to Lyda Ruth. We rat eaters have to stick together." He writes "Mandy" on paper and adds his vote to the others.

*

Roxie walks up, writes Cobra's name on a paper and slips it into the drum.

*

Mandy approaches the voting table with wet red eyes from sobbing all the way to Tribal Council. This is becoming a pattern that the tribe seems to not be able to break out of. "At this rate," Mandy thinks, "there won't be a new tribe of both teams. There won't be any Ocono members left to go into a new tribe." Mandy wipes her face and eyes. She really misses her Mom and family now that things are not going smoothly. She wishes they were here to hug away her tears and fears...

As it is time to write down her vote, Mandy sobs some more and very shakily writes down her vote..."Cobra". She looks up at the camera and says "Cobra still doesn't seem to contribute to the tribe and those pets...yuck!" Her sad eyes reveal the agony of the evening...

FINAL VOTE:

The drum is bought back by the last voting player. Gia is quick as she counts the votes, looking to each face in the flickering firelight as as she counts

Each player in turn goes and writes a name on a scrap of paper and puts it in a drum. As the last player brings back the drum Gia reads the votes....

Gia is quick as she counts the votes, looking to each face in the flickering firelight as she counts.

"First vote, Cobra"
"Second vote, Cobra"
"Third vote, Mandy"

this seems to surprise a few people.
"Fourth vote, Cobra"

Gia says "I'll read the last vote but we know the outcome. fifth vote, Cobra."

"Cobra, bring me your torch. The tribe has spoken, you must leave tribal council immediately."

Gia puts out Cobra's flame and with several louds toots he walks out of the clearing singing some off-color ditty and then humming "leaving...on a jet plane."

COBRA'S FINAL WORDS:

I am peeved about Lyda Ruth trying to give up now, because there is no chance she will win. Heck, that is no excuse to bail on the game!!!

We are real losers over here.

I hope they like my friends. I tucked them in Lyda's and Mandy's bags!!! It should be interesting to see how the kids react...hahaha!
