Episode 8: Upstage Upset
*The Fans have lost the challenge…yikes. Another day, another loss. All of the Fans are heading to elimination. Evie, Nura, and Ara are ready to head as well but Aiden walks over to the three, stopping them in their tracks.*
Aiden: Evie, use your advantage, so we can vote out Oliwia.
*Nura gives Aiden a glare.*
Ara: And after?
Aiden: We’ll merge, and finally, we–
Aiden: Uh, I get to reunite my friends and you all get to meet them and we’ll become one big alliance! Hopefully.
*Aiden puts the sunglasses on his face and walks away, he passes by a tree which Sam peeks out of.*
– – –
[SAM: FANS]
Sam: So Aiden wants to reunite with his friends on the other side, huh? Now that I know this, it could work in my favor.
– – –
...
*Aiden continues walking but Sam is able to catch up to him.*
Sam: Hey Aiden.
Aiden: Oh uh…Sam! What do you want?
Sam: I came to talk to you and apologize for flipping on your alliance. I should’ve informed you about it.
Aiden: *sighs* It’s fine. Is that all you wanted to tell me?
Sam: I want us to be allies again. It’s no-brainer that I’m on the outs with the trio of Oliwia, Ren, and Dunia. If you and your alliance is gone, I’m next because there’s no way Dunia wants to get rid of Nura.
Aiden: Sound logic…then, welcome back, I guess.
Sam: Glad to be back. Who is our target for tonight?
Aiden: Oliwia. Evie’s gonna use her advantage tonight as well to ensure her departure.
Sam: Hm…what if I told you that Evie doesn’t have an advantage?
Aiden: Haha…no way, I mean…she’s able to outsmart Alec despite how she is so…
Sam: Back at the carnival, Bruno told me that at Alec’s elimination, he pulled out an advantage. Not sure what it was but, it definitely screwed him over than helped him.
Aiden: N-no…! You’re lying! That…that wouldn’t make any sense because Alec was voted out! He would never screw himself over like that!
Sam: Do you remember Season 1 where Tom misused the totem? Advantages and idols can be played wrongfully.
Aiden: …I…you have a point. But, still, th-that doesn’t–
Sam: Let me ask you this, do you really think Evie can beat Alec?
Aiden: …
Sam: You don’t have to answer that to me. Just know that there’s a possibility that she might be working with Alec to trick you into believing that lie, she’s probably just using you.
Sam: I hope you take that into consideration tonight and I’ll make sure the rest of my alliance votes for her too.
*Sam walks away with a smirk on his face. Aiden stands there, speechless.*
...
ELIMINATION TRIAL:
FANS
*All of the Fans are sitting at the campfire.*
Emily: Fans, for one of you, consider this your curtain call. As a reminder, Ren has individual immunity.
Emily: With that out of the way, get voting!
…
[VOTING BOOTH - FANS]
*Dunia is writing her vote down with a worried look on her face.*
*Sam has a sly smirk as he writes down his vote. He finishes writing as he looks at the camera and winks.*
*Oliwia has the pen in hand as she looks to the side with worry.*
*Ren grabs his vote with a smirk on his face and places it into the ballot box.*
*Ara is writing down her vote with a smirk on her face, she stops writing as she looks behind her.*
*Nura inserts her vote into the ballot box. She then looks behind her, hands on her hips.*
*Evie has her folded vote in hand and places it in the ballot box with a smirk. She looks at the camera and winks at it.*
*Aiden looks behind with a worried look on his face. He hesitates a bit before writing his vote down, an angry look on his face.*
…
Emily: Once the votes are read, the decision is final.
Emily: First vote…
*Emily picks up a paper from the ballot box, unfolds it towards her, and turns it around.*
Emily: Aiden.
*Aiden starts to worry just a little bit.*
Emily: Aiden.
*Aiden continues to worry as he lowers his head and moves his arm closer to his chest.*
Emily: Aiden.
Emily: That’s 3 votes for Aiden.
*Aiden angrily looks behind him as Nura and Ara share a high five.*
Emily: Next vote…
*Emily turns the paper around.*
Emily: Evie.
*Evie is unbothered by her name being called.*
Emily: Evie.
*Evie is still unbothered as she looks at her nails.*
Emily: Evie.
*Evie looks behind her with a smile and closes her eyes with pride. Aiden continues to look at Emily in worry while Nura and Ara look at each other in confusion.*
Emily: That’s 3 votes Evie; 3 votes Aiden. One vote left…
Emily: Seventh person voted out of Disventure Camp…
*As everyone else awaits the final vote to be read, Sam's surprise turns into a smirk. Nura, Ara, and Evie smirk at a worried Aiden.*

*Emily turns the slip of paper around. On the paper, the name “EVIE” is written on it.*
Emily: Evie! Four votes is enough.
Evie: What?!
Ren: For the record, Evie, you are a lovely human…in any other context.
Nura: You don’t have to lie to her. She’s leaving.
*Evie walks over to everyone.*
Evie: You know what? I had a blast! *laughs* I’m gonna miss most of you and the family we made!
*Everyone looks at Evie, some of them are confused. Aiden looks down at the ground with remorse.*
Dunia: Sure, why not. Gonna miss you too, Evie.
*Ren forms a heart with their fingers as Evie glares with a smile before walking away.*
???: Evie, wait!
*Evie stops walking as Aiden walks over to her.*
Aiden: Look, I…I know I’m not a part of the family you made that you’re gonna miss but…if it’s any consolation, you deserve these back after everything. I’m sorry for voting for you.
*Aiden takes the sunglasses off of his head and extends them to Evie. Evie looks down at them before looking at Aiden with surprise.*
Evie: …Thanks.
*Evie takes the sunglasses, puts them on her face, and walks away from the ceremony. Ren is the only one to wave goodbye.*

[REN: FANS]
Ren: Look, I’m not the biggest fan of Aiden and I would’ve loved to get him out now since his alliance is toasterino! But, Sam had a good argument to get rid of Evie instead.
Ren: On the bright side, we’ll be able to finally win challenges…! I hope…

[ARA: FANS]
Ara: And now, I’m back in the minority. But, it’s fine, Evie was an obvious target who’s gonna screw us over anyways and Aiden’s just gonna follow.
Ara: My main priority now is to ensure that my flirty little showmance with Nura continues because there’s a bloodbath waiting just around the corner.

…
*A boat arrives at an unknown island and the scene cuts to Evie walking down a path. She stops when she notices a sign, lifts her sunglasses, and reads it.*
Evie: A motel? Oh, thank god! Don’t mind if I do.
*Evie takes the torch and follows the path she’s chosen. The camera then shows Evie making her way to the Motel.*
