Survivor Pearl Islands Insider Episode 3 Yahoo Platinum

Note from the person I downloaded from: The Sleepless Nights and Treasure Hunt clips played very choppily at times from the Yahoo server. They were tried at serveral times throughout the day from two different PCs without any difference so it appears to be due to their server.

The Other Treasure Hunt (03:39)

 Clip description: You saw the Drake tribe hunt for the buried treasure. But what were Jon and Christa up to while the others were gone? Insider tags along as Jon and Christa go on an excursion of their own.

 (At Drake camp, the tribe members are happily eating rice.)

Burton (confessional): Right now things couldn't be better. The shelter, pretty good. We have plenty of water (pic of Shawn drinking huge mug), and as long as we get a stingray or fish, plenty of protein.

Burton (to tribe): Does everyone think we should look for the treasure in the boat.
Christa: You know there's that little island out there that only comes up at a certain time of day.
Burton (not listening to Christa): Anyone want to stay and replenish the water supply?
Rupert: I'm always for someone guarding our camp. And I know if we left YOU here (points to Jon) you would actually do something.
Jon: I know. Hey guys, I am going to stay here, guard the chickens, get wood and work on water. (Trish smiles)
Shawn or Burton: You're not going Chris?
Jon: No, she's going to help me. (Christa is lying inside the shelter)

(Rupert and Jon shake hands, and the six Drake members go off on their boat)

Christa (to Jon): I think we have enough water for now. 

Jon: Want to make our first wood run? So it looks like we've done something. 

Christa (getting up): Let's roll.

(Scene of Jon and Christa carrying wood and doing work)

Jon (confessional): Everyone else was on the boat looking for treasure. There's an island out there that's only visible when it's low tide. And we didn't see the boat going in that direction so we decided to go out there to see if we could find the treasure.

(Jon and Christa swimming out to island)

Jon (on rocks): It was really hard to swim out here. We actually thought it was low tide and we could just walk out here. That was foolish for the brains of the operation to think (laughs)
Christa (with Jon digging with their hands on the beach): I haven't found anything except these rocks. We might get to the whole island before we're done (laughs and snorts).

(Jon and Christa see boat of Drake members paddling in the distance)

Christa (to Jon): They're not heading back, are they?

(Jon and Christa yell to boat, but the boat doesn't see them)

Jon: If I can see them out all the way over there, they should be able to see us.

Jon (confessional): Christa and I yell and scream jumped up and down, looked as stupid as humanly possible to get attention.

(Christa jumps up and down doing jumping jacks and yelling like an airhead)

Christa (to Jon): They're definitely not coming out. I can't believe they didn't see us. We should head back.

Christa (confessional): It was horrible, we had to swim back. It was really, really far.

(Jon and Christa start to swim back)

Shawn (to Burton back at camp): Did they boil water?
Burton: I don't know but the fire's out.
Shawn: Their excuse for not going is to watch the camp and we come back and I don't see one of em.

Michelle (confessional): We were kind of pissed off because Jon and Christa said they would stay back and watch over camp. And we come back, and they're not there. We have no clue where they are. They just chose not to do anything, instead of coming with us, which SUCKED.

(SHAWN SITS DOWN ON A BENCH JON AND CHRISTA MADE)

Shawn (to Burton, Sandra and crew): They made a bench. Looks sturdy enough (sarcasm). That'll last about 10 minutes then we'll burn it in the fire.

Jon explains the Fight (02:15)

 Clip description: You watched feisty Sandra and Jon battle it out at Drake camp. Go back inside the tribe as Jon explains his frustrations with Sandra.

Jon (confessional): 

We're heading into a reward challenge, and we have an immunity challenge after that I'm sure either tomorrow or the day after. So we have to think about who were going to sit out in challenges, because we are getting an advantage over the Morgan Tribe. And we have to sit out two people this challenge and two people next challenge. So, it only makes sense if it is a physical challenge, to take out two of your weaker people physically. Or if it's a mental challenge, take out two of your physical people.

If it happens to be a swimming challenge, Sandra's not the best swimmer in the world. You know. She'll usually admit that. So today, she decided to not be picked on as the worst swimmer even though it is the case, and kind of singled me out for not getting from the boat to the shore on Day 1 the quickest. I had Michelle’s glasses in my socks, in one sock, and my favorite hat in the other sock. I couldn't use my legs to kick to swim from the boat to the shore because I didn’t want to lose either one of them. I didn't know how much Michelle depended on her glasses. And I know if I did, without them, I would be pretty freaking miserable on this island.

So I paddled with just my arms. She said she beat me to the shore. So my argument is: If that's the case, how much did you beat me by, using your arms and your legs, and me just using my arms.

She's not that good of a swimmer.

CUT

I just hate ignorance, man! Ignorance is the worst thing in the world, and I can't deal with ignorance. Usually, if you're that freaking stupid, you just sit there and shut up and let smart people think for you. She's too stupid to even let that happen.

CUT

She's yelling to me that she is not the worst swimmer and everything else. I mean the girl can't even get to the boat without someone helping her. I mean the girl can't swim! So you know she tried to point out the fact that when there was some swimming earlier, you weren't the one jumping up to do it. And I was like, "yeah, cuz I know for a fact that some of the guys are stronger swimmers than me."

It's brains over brawn. If you know someone who is better than you at doing something, why should you say, "Hey, I don't want to feel left out?" No.

You're an idiot. And I'm not an idiot.

Christa Loots the Water Pot

 Christa (confessional at Drake camp): 

We're planning on taking their last water pot. And I think they are going to dehydrate and die. We have enough water pots and don't need another one. So I am just going to suck it up and do it and take it. I feel really bad that I am going to kill everybody over there. But that's what everybody over here (at Drake) wants.

So I'm just going to go over there and talk to some people and see them more, maybe just get to know their names. Just because I only get to hear their names at challenges.

Eh, I think I need to start getting to know the other tribe better. They seem to be going fast, and the few people that are left, I need to get to know first. That's why I kept volunteering to go the whole time, just want to get an understanding of what's going on over there.

CUT

The last time we won the reward challenge, Sandra came back and reported that they had one water pot. And that's what they were using for all their food and all their water. It seemed like they were doing really bad over there. And not living the luxury lifestyle that we know over here. (laughs)

So, assuming that's the truth, it's really going to hurt them. Really, really going to hurt them. But we're out for the tribe. I'm out for the tribe. And I'm just going to go do it. A group decision.

CUT

I'm a little worried about taking their water pot, because that's the key to life.

Uhh, we don't need to boil our beans and rice separately. We can live without them being separate. We’re not gourmet style, but I'm going with the tribe's decision. I'm just going to put down my head and go grab it. And call it a day. There's nothing I can do.

CUT

The water pot decision was definitely out to hurt the other team. It's not out to have the luxury to boil two pots of beans and rice separately. I do see the point where if they were to come back and pillage they would take the water pot right away. But still, we have like four. Four rather than zero, it just doesn't seem right.

CUT

By taking their water pot, it's definitely a cutthroat situation here. But it's a little unnecessary. We could take something like a lantern that could be of more use to us, because we can't see at night. People need to live and I care about people. At the end of the day, it's like, "Good Lord!" If it had been me, that would suck! If it had been anyone on our tribe, that would suck! And I wouldn't want anyone on our tribe to dehydrate, so, some people are going to be suffering.

Lillian the Day After (05:28)

 Clip description: Why does Lill feel she was voted out of the tribe? Could she have done anything differently to prolong her stay on the island? Watch as the Scout Master reveals her thoughts the day after her expulsion.

 Lillian (day after TC): I knew I was going to be voted out when we lost the last challenge. Only because I knew they liked Darrah a lot. They liked me, too, but they liked Darrah a lot.

Darrah is a sweet Mississippi belle, a sweet girl that talks in that slow southern drawl. And she's charming. She's beautiful. But you can tell last night from Tribal Council, she doesn't know how to boil water. She doesn't know how to start a fire. She can collect wood. When I asked her at one point yesterday if she would go get some water, she said her legs hurt. But her legs were OK to run up and down the beach. You know.

I'm more like the Cincinnati workhorse. The tough little bird, it doesn't matter if my legs hurt, I go and get water. It doesn't matter if I am tired, I make sure the fire is going. It does not matter. I know my responsibilities to the tribe and I DO THEM! And I try to do them well.

CUT

I believe it was because I was not part of their age group. I believe it was because of age. I contributed a lot to the troop in many ways.

CUT

Because young men of those ages do not take kindly to a person telling them what to do. Especially if you're a lawyer or you're 26-30 years old. And that's what the gentlemen were.

We selected our leader and Andrew was our leader. And he was fine. But something was missing in our group. Something wasn't right. I can't put my foot on it, or my finger on it. But there was a reason why we didn't jell together. We didn't win some of these challenges. We lost five of them in a matter of nine days.

CUT

If I could do it all over again and I had hindsight and knew that I was going to be the third one off anyway, I would be a little more bossier, a little more pushier.

I would tell them. I would probably take the leader aside and say, "I think we need to pick up on these areas. I think we need more nourishment in our bodies. I think these girls need to pull their skirts down to their knees as much as they can and go out in those woods and find a lemon tree. I think the guys need to get up earlier do they can start these tasks of fishing, come up with a plan. I don't care what plan it is, but do it. Don't lay around all morning.

A couple of times, I talk very loud about my troop. I don't need a microphone. They hear me. They hear me all the way in the back. A number of times Tijuana told me, "Lower your voice, we're sleeping." Damn! It's got to be 8 o'clock in the morning.

(TALKS ABOUT HER BADGES...blah blah)

Survivor is something that is going to be extraordinary and it's going to be talked about for six months, then it will probably be let go. But I can also sit back and say I did it. I got on instead of 60,000 people. I lasted only nine days, that's a bit upsetting to me but.

CUT

(RAISES THREE FINGERS IN BOY SCOUT SALUTE)

On my honor, as a survivor, I will still hold my dignity and my honor no matter what. I fit makes it to the end, great. If it doesn't make me to the end, accept it. I also swear that as a Survivor, you put your 110 percent in as far as work, ethics, realize that it is a game. Don't get so jacked out of shape if you don't get to the end. And try and have fun. And try to learn from your experience and don't give up on your dream. Keep the sand out of your shoes (laughs) and don't roll around in it without your clothes on. TOOOOO!

Voting Booth Cam (04:36)

 RYNO: Lil, you're a hard worker, but right now we need a little bit of strength. You do a ton of work and I love you for it, but you just... We're a cohesive group the five of us, not, not six right now and I'm sorry.

TIJUANA: Lil, this vote is for you. Uhm, I think that you're a hard worker, you have a great work ethic. I think that you represented the Boy Scouts of America, uhm, just phenomenally while you've been here. Uhm, I've learned a great deal from you. You've being a mother-like figure for, I think, not only myself, but also the tribe members and we appreciate that. Uhm, yes, there're some things that you were able to do at the tribe that, uhm, can't be replaced, but I think your spirit cannot. We do need strength here and that's what I'm going for. Thank you.

SAVAGE: Great lady. Great work ethic. Lill, this is totally based upon a strategy. We'll see if it works. Say hey to Cincinnati for me.

DARRAH: Lill, I'm voting for you only because I am basing my vote on strength-wise. You're a great woman and a hard worker. And you contributed well around camp.

OSTEN: [ed. votes for Lill] Strictly for strategy purposes.

LILL: Darrah, you are like a Mississippi Belle. You're fragile and know very few skills. I'm a Cincinnati workhorse. I've proved that the last nine days. I'm just hoping that I've proved my worth, that I think still keep me around a little bit longer, to the rest of the tribe. No hard feelings, honey.
