Pearl Islands Insider Transcripts

[Cestriano]

(It's amazing that I could find any of these at all, since I don't think people had started doing transcripts that much yet, but I managed to, even if it is just the TC stuff)


Episode 1:






 NICOLE: Ryan S., I'm voting for you only because the alliance I tried to make fell through and you're the only person I know other people are planning to vote for, so.... That's my vote.
 TIJUANA: Nicole, I trusted you once. I gave you the benefit of the doubt when I caught you conspiring. The second time around, I've gotta be with people I could truly trust. It could be that I'm naive; I hope that I'm not. If that's the case, you stabbed me in the back or you were trying to. Fortunately, I found out, so I can save myself.
 DARRAH: I'm voting for you Nicole. Nothing personal. I love you to death. You're like the only one that I can trust out here. It's just something I had to do to save myself.
 ANDREW: Nicole, at this stage of the game, our tribe can't afford distrust and conspiracy. Your conflict with Tijuana is the reason for this vote.
 RYAN O.: Nicole, I don't want to do this. Voted around the camp fire, '>. It just didn't work like that. Ryan wasn't pulling his weight. But he's got integrity and I think he will be able to handle it better than you can.
 OSTEN: Nicole, I'm voting for you tonight because I think you made an alliance too early. Thanks for playing.
 RYAN S.: My vote is for Nicole. Outstanding person, but... I hope you let your childish and petty arguments keep you around for another little bit. Nothing personal.
 LILLIAN: Nicole, I appreciated in the village when one of the boys asked you to flash, somehow to get a better deal. I appreciated that you said "No, I am not going to do something like that." I said the same. I did appreciate that. I also saw a lot of lying going on. You and I had a conversation for about three minutes and you asked me to help you to get rid of someone. I wasn’t real comfortable. I more or less had to think about it more. You said that... In just the few minutes we talked, so many things came back to me saying that I had said something that I didn't say. So, I think you got carried away with the game. I think you're a swell person. I'm sorry, but you're my vote tonight.



 Nicole's final words:


 Well guys! I can't say this came as a big surprise. I had a hunch that I was going off this afternoon when everything started to fall apart. I knew going in that my biggest weakness was going to be keeping my mouth shut. When I have an opinion about somebody, I just can't seem to keep it in. And that's exactly what did me in. I sort of shot myself in the foot by trying to make an alliance early on to get rid of someone that was just annoying me. Which I see now, in hindsight, is probably not the best way to play the game. But I think you are all a great group of people and are out there to be true Survivors which apparently I'm not. Just didn't the drive to keep my mouth shut for as long as I could, even for a million dollars, but I'm glad I came here and I'm glad I got to meet everybody and I wish everyone the best of luck.

Episode 2:







RYNO:
 Ryan, you're a great kid. You got a bunch of heart. You just don't have the strength for this game. And I'll see you when I'm, when
I'm out of here.

LILL:
 Osten, I think you're great, but you gave up on us. We all came back, even though we'd lost for the third time. We came back and you're the one who's saying, "My big, burly body has shut down." Well, you're the biggest one here, you're the strongest one here, I would say. But you still said you wanted to quit. I don't believe it was because of your body. I just feel that you just, just gave up. So, I am voting for you tonight.

SAVAGE: Skinny Ryan, you're a good guy, but you're in way, way over your head. You're a fish out of water. It's time to go.
 
TIJUANA: Hey Ryan, this vote is for you. I think you are a sincere and genuine person. And I agree with you, you do not have the physical capabilities like the others. But at the same time, what I did not see from you is enough initiation from what you can do. Instead we had to tell you this and tell you that, and we can't do that all the time. So, with that being said, good luck to you, and you get my vote.
 
OSTEN: [ed. votes for Ryan S.] Fella, I enjoyed your company. But, unfortunately, you had to go. Hope to see you on the other side.
 
DARRAH: I'm voting for you, Ryan because I just don't think you have the physical strength to help us win the next challenge. And it's a critical thing. We need to win the next challenge or we'll be back here at Tribal Council.
 
RYAN S: [ed. votes for Osten] You're one of the coolest guys I've ever met. And you never would have gotten this vote if you hadn't asked me to. But I think we both know who's really going home tonight (winks at the camera).


Skinny Ryan's final words:

 Well, I think I lost this game in the first five minutes I was out here, cause I didn't make friends with the right people. So.... This is a social tribe. They've got 100% social and 0% strategic abilities. So... I guess that's the way it goes. But I had a great time! Forgetting about those goobers, I had the adventure of a lifetime. It was oustanding! And I just want to tell Ginette and my family how much I love them and miss them and to all my friends, you guys are awesome. Sorry if I let anybody down. It was a cool little ride.Word!
Okay, if I could change one thing about what I could have done to make this better for me, I would have tried to make better friends in the first, first couple of minutes. Right off the bat, I kind of was caught up in the moment, excited about the adventure and I was, I kind of kept to myself. I didn't go in and start to make friends immediately which is really what you have to do. Because the tribe I ended up being with was extremely social. All they cared about was friendships and they're so not thinking strategically which is something... big strong point of mine, strategic thinking about Survivor. So, I wish I would have just gone with the dumb method and gone and tried to be friends with everybody.

Episode 3:





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.


'Lill's final words:

My biggest regret is that I didn't stay in longer to represent my beautiful state of Ohio and my city of Cincinnatti.Uh, it saddens me that, uh, I didn't have, uh, the time to say how awesome the organization that I work with, the Scouts, the Boy Scouts... Uh, it saddens me that, uh, the young men... it doesn't surprise me, but it does sadden me that the boys would pick, uh, a pretty face over someone who is out there working as hard as they could, and, you know, and fishing and fire-building and, uh, water… Uh, not only that, but when I left, I made sure all the waters were filled and all, then they had wood underneath the shelter in case it did rain. Now, call that stupid!

Episode 4:




TRISH: Burton, I think you're a really, really great competitor and you're a threat. And there's no way that I can go into a merge with somebody like you. But you're a great guy and I wish you the very best.

SANDRA: [ed. votes for Burton] You talked about me from day one to anyone that gave you the opportunity, that would just listen. Uhm, you singled me out and it was time to pay you back and this is it. I sure hate it for you, but good-bye. Adios.

CHRISTA: [ed. votes for Bert] You're the biggest threat we have. See ya, buddy.

MICHELLE: [ed. votes for Christa] I'm placing this vote tonight, because I think that you played a very narrow-minded game. Not only did you underestimate people, but you overestimated people as well. Keep it real.

BURTON: Christa, this is a tough, tough game about making strategic decisions. Indecisiveness will get you nothing but a one-way ticket home.

SHAWN: All I've got to say, Burton, you're really strong. You're competition. I don't want competition. See you soon.

JON: [ed. votes for Bert] Too.Much.Of.A.Threat. Can you dig that, sucka?



Burton's final words:

So, gotta say I'm disappointed beyond what words could explain. But in the same sense, I'll have to say that, being a strategic player and knowing the threat that I posed to every individual, uhm, in my tribe, that I probably would have done what everyone, what the majority ended up doing.
There's no doubt in my mind that in any Challenge, physical or mental, when it came to individual Immunity, I would have won hands-down. No doubt in my mind. And the tribe realized that, and they did what they had to do. I don't believe it's the right decision at this point in time, but if they didn't do it now, I would have had the cards in my hand to play all the way to the end of the game and make my way to the winner's circle, which I know I could have done.

I had an amazing time out here. I met some great people, albeit I'm not sure if I really know who they are. But it's been absolutely amazing and I've enjoyed every minute of it and loved everyone and wish them the best. It's going to be a lot harder without me. Challenges are not going to be guaranteed as they were when I was involved. And I'd say may the best or strongest or smartest person win, but that's impossible at this point. So, good luck to those left, and I'll see you on the other side.

Episode 5:




SHAWN: Michelle, I'm voting for you because I made an alliance prior to the alliance you thought we were in and this is just how the game has turned out. I'm really sorry, you're a great girl, you've got amazing qualities and don't take this personally.


TRISH: Michelle, I think you're a really good girl. It's been good to get to know you these past couple of days, I just wish we had gotten to know each other on Day 1 instead of Day 15 and uh... you know, I'm not sure what game you were playing, I didn't recognize it as Survivor. But I wish you the best of luck.

JON: Michelle, [ed. something is edited out] You're a good girl. Say hello to the Bad Guy.
[ed. Thanks to Sucks poster CCBIGGs55 for a portion of the transcription.]

MICHELLE: [ed. votes for Shawn] I had to write this name down on the card, just for myself, because if anybody was going to jump ship, buddy, I think it's you. Hope you don't.

RUPERT: [ed. votes for Michelle] You should not [ed. unintelligible]. My own tribe looking at me and making fun of me. Not the thing to do. You aligned yourself with the wrong people. Waiting for Day 5 or 6 before you'd talk to me? It was a bad mistake.

SANDRA: Michelle, somebody had to bite the bullet today for my mistake and it had to be you. Uh. See you later. Uh. Adios.

CHRISTA: [ed. votes for Michelle] You've never, ever talked to me and, uh, you've talked a lot about me and I'm sorry, but it's your time to go. You said there could only be one blonde on the island. I'm a fake blonde, but that's okay. I'll carry on without you, girl.




Michelle's final words:

Wow, what an amazing experience!
I wish I could have been here longer. I wish I coulda... just had more time to kick some butt and to really get into the game, but... for whatever reason, that didn't get to happen. Ah... I'm really upset that I came all this way and I got here and I'm missing my sister's wedding for this. I wish I would've been able to pay her back by letting her see me down here longer and really kick some ass. But it didn't happen for me right now. But, regardless of all the politics between what had happened, I'm... I'm glad that I was a part of it. I had an amazing time. I learned a lot and I'll always have this experience with me, so... uh... I don't know, I think that's all I have to say.

Episode 6:








Christa: [ed. votes for Trish] You stabbed us all in the back. You have no idea how to play this game, but good try. See you later.

Sandra: [ed. votes for Trish] I've always said you were a snake from day one. Uhm. You can't be trusted. You throw so many stories around that you don't even remember who you tell what to. So goodbye, adios!

Rupert:[ed. votes for Trish] I cannot believe that you turned on me so quickly. Everybody in my tribe tells me that you want me out and you lied right to my face. I can't take that.

Jon: [ed. votes for Rupert] Everybody's got a price. Everybody's gotta pay. Cause the million dollar man always gets his way.

Shawn: Trish, the reason you're going today is because you made the biggest mistake in this tribe. I feel you're the reason we have a divided tribe. And, you know what? Game's over for you. It's my game now. So, goodbye.

Trish: Rupert, I'm voting you out for two reasons. The first is I think you'd be really too much, too tough to beat in the individual challenges. And I'm also voting you out because I think you just have too much power with the other tribe. And it just seems to me that you're straddling both tribes, so that concerns me a lot. But I think you're a great guy, a really, really wonderful person. I've enjoyed getting to know you.




 What have I learned about myself? Uhm, you know, I think that I learned I'm as tough as I thought was and... uhm... 18 days wasn't that hard for me. I could have gone the full 39 days and ... uhm, you know, I just tried to build the relationships I thought should be built and.... you know, it was, it's all good.
Probably this vote surprised me the most, you know? I didn't see this coming, uhm, at all, obviously, you know, but I always knew that anything could happen, so I really never took anything for granted. I never, ever, once came to Tribal Council thinking there's no way it could be me, you know? And, yeah probably this vote was the most surprising.

Uhm, I just want to say this is been the greatest adventure, probably of my life and I want to thank Molly, Ryan and Leo for, uhm, giving me this opportunity, and my mom for watching the kids, and my close friends who knew that I was going to try to do this and really supported me. And hey, hats off to the Drake tribe. uhm.... You know, good for you guys. You kept the secret. That's the beauty of this game, you just never know what's going to happen and when it's gonna happen. And I knew that going into this game and uhm, I think you guys are all great. I hope one of the Drakes end up winning the million dollars. And, uhm, you know, I still consider you guys friends and I just think that, uhm, you're going to go into the merge and, and just kick the Morgans' butt and I really hope one of you end up winning the money. So, thanks for playing with me and I had a great time.

Jon: [ed. votes for Rupert] Everybody's got a price. Everybody's gotta pay. Cause the million dollar man always gets his way.

Shawn: Trish, the reason you're going today is because you made the biggest mistake in this tribe. I feel you're the reason we have a divided tribe. And, you know what? Game's over for you. It's my game now. So, goodbye.

Trish: Rupert, I'm voting you out for two reasons. The first is I think you'd be really too much, too tough to beat in the individual challenges. And I'm also voting you out because I think you just have too much power with the other tribe. And it just seems to me that you're straddling both tribes, so that concerns me a lot. But I think you're a great guy, a really, really wonderful person. I've enjoyed getting to know you.




 What have I learned about myself? Uhm, you know, I think that I learned I'm as tough as I thought was and... uhm... 18 days wasn't that hard for me. I could have gone the full 39 days and ... uhm, you know, I just tried to build the relationships I thought should be built and.... you know, it was, it's all good.
Probably this vote surprised me the most, you know? I didn't see this coming, uhm, at all, obviously, you know, but I always knew that anything could happen, so I really never took anything for granted. I never, ever, once came to Tribal Council thinking there's no way it could be me, you know? And, yeah probably this vote was the most surprising.

Uhm, I just want to say this is been the greatest adventure, probably of my life and I want to thank Molly, Ryan and Leo for, uhm, giving me this opportunity, and my mom for watching the kids, and my close friends who knew that I was going to try to do this and really supported me. And hey, hats off to the Drake tribe. uhm.... You know, good for you guys. You kept the secret. That's the beauty of this game, you just never know what's going to happen and when it's gonna happen. And I knew that going into this game and uhm, I think you guys are all great. I hope one of the Drakes end up winning the million dollars. And, uhm, you know, I still consider you guys friends and I just think that, uhm, you're going to go into the merge and, and just kick the Morgans' butt and I really hope one of you end up winning the money. So, thanks for playing with me and I had a great time.

Episode 7a (Drake TC):





RUPERT: Neither one of you said anything true to me that would help you. I tried to give you guys a chance. Shawn, I was looking for some acknowledgement that for the first two damn weeks of... you made fun of me. You laughed at me. You treated me... like beneath you. When I fed you and I brought you water and I cooked for you every day. When I had to wear a damn dress, you laughed at me instead of showing support. When I had no clothes, you made fun of me. You have redeemed yourself some. I was asking for you to tell me you were sorry. I've asked you all day. I've given you the chance to make it up. You ignored it. You call me big dumb idiot in the sandbox. You insult my intelligence by saying I cannot even spell alliance. You and Burt and Michelle made fun of me to my face and behind my back. Jon might be a weasel, but I never heard him call me any names. Anything that he called me, he called me to my face. You did it behind my back. It's Day 19 and you cleaned your first fish and you complained about it the whole time. I busted my ass cleaning food for you every day. It was a hard decision, Shawn, and I am sorry, but you ruined it when you could not admit how bad you [inaudible] me at the start.

CHRISTA: [ed. votes for Shawn] Strategy-wise, this is the best way to get me farther ahead. And you talk too much.

SHAWN: Jon, I'm voting for you, because like I said before, uh... it doesn't matter what you say here and now. You and I know the truth. And, uh... basically you've been backstabbing everyone including myself, so this is why we're here again. Goodbye. If it happens that way.

SANDRA: [ed. votes for Shawn] You're greedy. You're lazy. You're selfish. You always had it out for me. And I got the last laugh cause you're going home first, buddy. Bye. Adios.

JON: [ed. votes for Shawn] F**k you.



Well, I should have seen this one coming. I don't have any regrets. I think this is the most amazing experience I've ever had in my entire life. It's a tough game, it's ruthless, you're forced to do things at times that you don't want to do. Uhm... but you know what, it's a game about luck and if you get lucky enough to make the right alliance that sticks together and works together in a game like this, then you know what, you can make it pretty far. Uhm, I had hoped that today would have brought a merger... uhm... things would probably have been a lot different and I might have been able to go a lot further, but I knew that if we had to go to another Tribal Council, that circumstancial... uhm, for circumstancial reasons, that eventually this would catch up to me and it has.

Episode 7b: Outcast Tribal Council







RYAN S.: This vote is for Burton. He is beyond deserving. He brought the challenge home for us today and I know he'll represent us well.

Lil, I would never put your name down unless it was for something good. If it's not me, I hope it's you.


TRISH: Burton, I'm voting you back in because I know you can win the individual immunities and I think that, uhm, you have a real shot at winning the whole thing. If I can't win, I want another Outcast member to win. So, good luck buddy, I hope you can do it. I know you can get back in the game.

Lil, I'm voting you back in the game, because I think that you, more than anybody, has... had something major to prove. I know this is extremely important to you and I know that you will work with Burton to get down to the Final 2. You'll do whatever it takes and, uhm, I hope that you both, you and Burton, will get to be in the Final 2. Good luck.


BURTON: Michelle, you're the only person in this game that I've talked to and trusted and you're the only person that's never lied to me. I hope you get a chance to go back in.

Nicole, you're a really strong athlete. They never gave you a chance at the beginning. I hope this is your second chance.


LILL: Ryan, you were my friend from the very beginning. I recognize that you were my only friend from this whole time. You accepted me no matter what and I want you in almost as much as I want to be in and I hope that we can be together. Thank you.

Trish, I've only known you for a very few hours, but the sincerity that came out when you were talking to me and the respect I get from you. I know I'm older than you, but it was nice having someone close to my age to talk to. I hope you get to go back in.


NICOLE: Ryan S., I'm voting for you because I quite honestly think you can easily win this game. I hope that you do.

Lil, my vote's for you. Quite honestly, because if I get... end up getting sent back to camp, I don't want to listen to you complain anymore about not being in the game. That's why I'm voting for you.


MICHELLE: Obvious, though, out of the 16 people here, the most deserving person and the most capable. I think he can go all the way. Good luck, Burton.

Nicole, ah... this is for the underdogs. Ah... I know you're one bad ***** and I know you'll go and get 'em, so... good luck.
