Episode #16 + Finale “My heart is still like THUDDING” -Ruthie

-I don't think I did so great at the final immunity thing.  I bombed the trivia because I was on the way home from Orlando, with my counting endurance I put 'message one, message two...' in everything when I didn't have to because I second guessed myself so I'm sure I wasted a TON of time doing that and my winterbells score SUCKS lol.  On a positive note I got 8/9 riddles so maybe there is a little bit of hope for me! If I don't win this final immunity I hope Ali will.  It would be best for his game to vote me out with Gavin and Birch but I'm not sure what he will do.  Ali and I have played a REALLY loyal game with one another and I wouldn't fault him at all if he cut me now because I would 100% be a vote for him to win. If I do somehow manage to win I am definitely not voting Ali because if I have to lose to anyone I would rather lose to him.  I'm just kind of done with the whole 'taking people I would win against' thing.  ANYWAY, I definitely won't be upset if I get voted out because that means I can vote for Ali to win and also the anxiety that comes with an FTC and answering questions is not fun.   The last one of these and got to FTC I was SO inactive that I had no idea what was going on and... it was not cute LOL.  SO if I do somehow win this immunity I'm going to like actually prepare something and study up so I don't make too much of a fool of myself haha. If Ali wins I may even request that he just go ahead and vote with the other two or tell him I wouldn't hold it against him because of all the times he has saved me in this game I REALLY want to go hype him up in ponderosa and be a vote for him to win. I just feel in a way that this is not my game to win, it is Ali's and I think I will be happier for him than I would for myself. I don't even know what I'm saying this is just a bunch of me rambling and thinking out loud and like... PANICKING over the fact that I may have to do a FTC and make a speech and answer questions haha. As for my game I think I played a good game but not a GREAT game.  I definitely couldn't have made it this far without Ali so I'm just really glad that I played the game I always wanted with a duo that I could tell everything to and trust and that I didn't end up backstabbing or vise versa! 

-That was honestly not as bad as what I thought it was going to be but I feel like I had the easy end of the deal because people seemed a bit nicer to me with their questions and statements in a way.  And I just really hope that Ali and Birch are okay.  I checked on Ali and I'm about to check in on Birch. I was SO nervous, and I'm still confused about the freaking water shoes I feel like it is some inside joke Chips and I have that I can't freaking remember LOLOL. My heart is still like THUDDING and hurts so much right now, I LOVE playing these games but I hate making it to FTC and having to answer questions and have the world see just how bad my anxiety is just when I think I have it under control.   I will be really happy with an Ali or a Birch win and would LOVE to see most of the jurors in our position right now as well.  This has been such a great game, probably one of my top five favorites and I hope that we all keep up with each other over the next few months. I feel like after this I'm going to go back into hibernation until next summer or a break of some sort but this has been a GREAT game and I hope that a few people come back to the next season of atomic so I can cheer them on.

-so the season is done, and the winner reveal is in just over two hours. FTC was literally a rollercoaster, and I have a lot to say to two jurors in particular, but I've decided this final confessional is not the place for it. Timmy and Jess... just know you have a big storm coming. with that said, i have decided doing a negative, resentful final confessional about this game is not reflective of my overall experience this season. so i'm going to focus on some positives: - First and FOREMOST, I wanna big myself up a TINY LITTLE BIT. Just a little bit, dont you worry jury, the self-positive content will be kept to a MINIMUM I know y'all wanna see me suffer. I achieved a lot of milestones this season, idols used to be my fatal flaw as a player but I used THREE EFFECTIVELY this season, I bodied challenges, I attended every tribal except three, voted in the majority at all tribals except one, I was apart of every big move this season without exception and I'm SO proud overall. - Some apologies! First off to Bodhi, i took Lover SO seriously and I'm kind of embarassed that it transitioned into me being so aggressive in how i spoke about him. Bodhi is so so fun and I hate that I became that bitter, resentful person, when he has never done anything to me. So yeah I have amends to make with Bodhi. I also owe Rachael a massive apology for lying so aggressively at Final Five. I also owe Cindi an apology for ever backtracking on holding Timmy Z accountable, in my RoP or at FTC. She deserved better and he deserved nothing. - I wanna say shoutout to Birch and Ruthie. Birch is SUCH a sweetheart, and I think if I lose this season, they are likely winning. Their personal growth was amazing to watch since Montenegro, I'm so proud of them for coming into their own. Ruthie is the ULTIMATE sweetheart, I have so much love for Ruthie's attitude and how she carries herself. Also wanna give love to Gavin/Cindi two others who made this season sm fun for me!! Lastly I wanna thank Olivia and Lukas. Two of the best hosts and people I've met in this community. Two people I knew from day one of Isle of Skye would be PHENOMENAL additions to the community. I have so much admiration and love for the both of them ,could not think of better hosts for my last ever game. anyway time to peace out. i came, i saw, i conquered and im proud ultimately.

So this is my last confessional :( I'm not winning, at least not from what the jury seemed to be saying at FTC, which was rough. I think Ali is winning. I've loved this game, I can't believe it is over.

Episode #15 “I AM SHAKING BECAUSE I MADE FINAL 5” -Rachael

-I really feel like Jess and Gavin are up to something shady this round. Gavin came to me saying that he and I didn’t have as good of a chance as all of the others but he has how many immunity wins? LOL, I’m playing into it but okay. I really think I’m going to use the power that Ali sent me since it expires tonight and somehow I feel like it could all turn back to me if I don’t use it tonight. I don’t know what I would do without Ali. I honestly hope that I don’t make it to the final three because I want to fight for him in jury and vote for him to win this thing. 

-I have never been happier to win immunity in my life! I am at Disney living my best life and I don’t have to worry about Ali or I going home because I’m immune and he’s using our idol. We decided last night to vote for Rachael because she has so many friends on the jury. If I do make it to the end with Ali I don’t think I’ll win but I will be JUST as happy for him! I feel like I may end up getting fourth because I feel like Ali will win the next immunity and I have the fourth place curse.... we’ll see! 

-okay so there is a lot to discuss, my brain is fried. first off a recap of the final seven vote, so i lose immunity IMMEDIATELY unsurprisingly, and then i'm like well its over. But then while Timmy maybe at some point pushed my name, Gavin from bizarrely early is down to vote Timmy. And Timmy going is something I've wanted for a while. so JDFKAS. also when it came down to potentially voting Jess, the reasons I didn't get on board were because a) Timmy/Rachael were selling their souls to whoever would listen and I didn't want them to run to Jess b) that would empower their duo in the endgame, and solidify me likely getting 6th or 5th. So, I voted Timmy (while playing up to Rachael that'd I'd vote with them, to hopefully have her vote if I needed at F6). Timmy I've had a real rollercoaster of a relationship with this season, I at points found him very frustrating and was very mean at points, but I do think as But now here we are at F6. After Timmy left, I went idol hunting and found a new path I'd heard zero mention of all season, and so I told Ruthie and she FOUND THE REHIDDEN MERGE IDOL. THAT'S MY FINAL TWO AMERICAAAAAAA. The way I would literally die for Ruthie, that is my queen. Anyway so other than that, I then studied SOO hard for the immunity challenge, and won despite the fact that Gavin TRIED TO MAKE ME LOSE. the way I can't stand men. But he can stay mad because i WONNN (he also hasn't pm'd me since). Making F5 and making finale is a milestone I never thought I'd reach playing the way I have so I'm SUPER proud. This endgame is really really tough. I do think Rachael/Jess are likely my biggest threats, Rachael is so so likeable, the entire jury is full of her allies and that makes her a major endgame threat. Jess is so tough. Jess I can't decide how much of a threat she is, she definitely has had the most control (after me), but she also has turned on some of her allies for zero reason or benefit, which looks very bad. Like her voting out Keegan, arguably Zach and also being in on the plan to vote Chips make very very little sense. So I do think my biggest jury threat is Rachael. But I also don't wanna send her to jury feeling burned by me most of all? So I think the ideal scenario tonight is that I vote with Rachael, maybe... for Jess? BUT Rachael goes and then goes to jury not mad at me? And she has clout with the jurors I need on side, the Timmy Z/Bodhi/Keegan/Collin contingent group. I think(?) I can beat Birch/Ruthie/Gavin, just due to my role in Ruthie's safety for a couple of rounds with my powers, and then I do think I've had great game impact than Birch/Gavin? I think I deserve to beat Jess too, but I think she might have a strong case to present? I honestly don't even know 100%. I came to this season to play cracked and I did that. I gave my ally an idol at F11 to go for the JUGULAR on someone I was scared of, I idoled an ally at f8, I was part of a 5-5-1-1, i went for BROKE this season and im so proud!! even though I think the jury might definitely hate me kjasldfa. i am proud to end off me playing games for a while on this game hehe

-so love of my life, dream ally RUTHIE WON IMMUNITY. so she is in final four (and if i don't get idol nullified out, i'm set for final four also!!) the goal for tonight is to either idol or just vote out rachael, she is jury queen and so so likeable. then onwards and UPWARDS to final four.

HI SO UMM I WENT INTO TRIBAL FULLY READY TO VOTE BIRCH AND ACCEPT DEFEAT AND ON A WHIM I SAID WHY NOT AT LEAST SEE IF ALI WILL TIE IT WITH ME AND THEN GAVIN HAS TO MAKE A DECISION AND WE REALLY TIED THAT AND FLIPPED IT AND I AM SAFE AND JESS WENT HOME AND I VOTED OUT THE PERSON THAT WENT HOME AND I HAVE A RESUME NOW ALMOST AND I AM SHAKING BECAUSE I MADE FINAL 5 AND I DONT KNOW HOW BUT I NEED TO WIN IMMUNITY BECAUSE I ACTUALLY HAVE A RESUME NOW AND I AM SO SCARED BECAUSE THIS CHALLENGE IS HARD AND SO WE WILL SEE WHAT HAPPENS BUT YEAH I AM SAFE AND THAT IS REALLY COOL AND GAVIN KEPT ME HERE AND ALI AND I VOTED TOGETHER FOR LIKE THE FIRST TIME ALL GAME PRETTY MUCH AND WE WERE THE ONLY 2 VOTES THAT SENT SOMEONE HOME SO LIKE WOWOWOWOWOW

So I just voted out Jess. The first vote I voted Rachael, and then I voted Jess in the second vote sending her home. I feel really bad about doing it, but she was a huge threat and was going to win. Ugh, it's been like 30 minutes and I already miss her. How could I vote out my closest Ally???? WHO DOES THAT? Oh yeah, Kevin in Tashirojima... no, I'm not salty. But yeah, I feel sad. And Gavin threw a vote on me after talking so much about wanting to make F3 with me and Ruthie! the audacity. 

this past round was so hard on me and absolutely exposed a huge flaw in my gameplay--my loyal nature and emotional inability to make the necessary move at the right time. i know and knew that in order to have a chance at winning this game, i needed to be at the end with ruthie and birch... and when it came down to it, i had to pick between rachael and jess. arguably my two closest allies in this game and people i would consider friends (i mean i have literally known jess for years). so, to force myself into the position of a tiebreaker vote and having to pick between the two of them was obviously not stellar gameplay... but it happened, so i am just going to have to work with it and make sure ali leaves as soon as he isn't immune and TRY to get into a final 3 with ruthie and birch... but rachael can be there if necessary, she just has no enemies on the jury which is very dangerous. i just know ali cannot be there at the end or he wins hands down. i am really going to have to play up my social games and ability to fly UTR in this game. i haven't gotten any votes yet and have won essentially every "social" challenge... so i think if i play my cards right, i could get a few votes. it will be tough though. but i am not giving up until i am down and out.

Episode #14 “I am laurie laughlin to ruthie; I keep buying her way through these rounds ” -Ali

-I would really quite like to win immunity because umm i have had my name written down multiple times now and im tired of it

-hello sorry i am literally so bad at these. so umm i reached out to ruthie and told her i was tired of being told to vote for her and that i would much rather work with her instead. so she talked to ali and i talked to timmy and i think the four of us are hopefully gonna blindside jess tonight but i am really scared and don't know if it is gonna work and might go home with like an idol play or something if gavin/ jess/ birch vote for me, so hopefully we can get them three on to like birch or ali or someone. but umm yeah. my ideal boot list at this point is jess, then ali, then either birch or ruthie probably. then sit at final 3 with gavin and timmy. i probably lose to gavin but hopefully this move and anything else i can do will propel my game forward.

-i am laurie laughlin to ruthie i keep buying her way through these rounds JKSADFA. i will not stop my reign of terror in doing so. but i sure do have some explaining to do.

-okay so yesterday i pulled a stunt and idoled out collin. its incredibly, incredibly risky because i think it DRASTICALLY elevated my chance of going 7th, but if I live through F7, I have my 'Safety without Power' (or whatever that twist is called KLDSA) to live through F6, and make final five! the reason i settled on collin, was to a) appease gavin/jess, giving me & ruthie a potentially avenue at f7 to survive b) collin is loved by EVERYONE he is such a winner threat. its risky because i think he has my back more than timmy/rachael, but also i had to just floor it. if i go seventh, i go seventh, but i go seventh putting my 100% in! yeah the dream tonight would be timmy goes, then at f6, i could even save myself and then ruthie will probs floor it and finally turn on gavin/jess? and then at f5, i could reel in the other of gavin/jess, and me/them/ruthie could vote together...? idek. so many scenarios when im probably leaving tonight jknlsafda.

-Me, Rachael, Timmy and Ali working together? Rachael wants to and I think it will be interesting but I’m not so sure about this lol. We’ll see, I guess. I’m not looking forward to tribal because I won’t be around again today, but I also won’t be driving during vote time. 

Honestly, tonight might be the night ladies and gents. This game is officially at the fork in the road and I'm basically working with everyone left at this point. HOWEVER... My mind can't stop racing with thoughts like "idols, advantages, and votes OH MY!" because I can see a world tonight where something is played again... and I go. I'm not entirely sure. I very well might get nothing and typical "Paranoid Jess" will have popped off for nothing but honestly... I can't be naive enough to think no one knows me and Gavin are a duo. People might might want to split that up. I'm on immunity number 2 and he's on 3. I can't be naive enough to think that me voting Collin and betraying people.. might cause this right now. Ali might flip on me in order to secure the vote not being him or Ruthie. WHO KNOWS?!   The possibilities are endless at this point? I do firmly believe I've had terrible jury management and that if people take a shot now they are making a huge mistake. I legitimately have a fear of FINAL TRIBAL COUNCIL so maybe this would be sweet relief? In all honesty though, I pissed off Cindi, I pissed off Keegan, didn't talk to Collin so I don't think I have his vote... and then well.. all I gotta do is piss of 2 more people and I officially don't win. That's my pitch to people in my head because I can't come off too paranoid right now since NOTHING IS FUCKING HAPPENING. NOTHING. THIS IS DRIVING ME INSANE. I've never experienced anything like this before where no one speaks. Nothing. It's aging me. I need blood pressure medication, I swear. I will become a chain smoker after this game because of this game.

So my second closest ally Collin is gone so yay me. He got idoled out which is good Bc it means PROBABLY we won’t see idols anymore this game, but bad news is that this is one less person who was not voting for me. This round I wasn’t present for immunity much but I don’t think it would have helped. I was targeted early which makes me wary. Rachael and I are working to maybe take out a big player this round but it means working with Ali and Ruthie which is a strange choice. It could be me tonight so let’s hope it’s not

OKAY! so, after my catastrophe of a round the other day, i NEEDED to make shit happen today to make up for my previous failure and control the outcome of the round today. once again, it was completely silent, and i was fearing for my own safety because i tried to make a big play last round and failed—and birch decided to spill all of that to collin. when collin approached me and started asking others about me, i got very nervous. he didn’t seem mad, but i knew he needed to go or he would be out for vengeance. i tried to push the target off of me and onto birch—but the group of birch/timmy/rachael/collin decided to put their votes onto ruthie (which is not a smart move for me in the slightest). in the last few minutes, i made it known to ali and ruthie that ruthie would be getting 4 votes this round so we all needed to vote together. suddenly, ali reveals he has an idol and will be playing it on ruthie. when this was revealed, i am began my last minute pitch for collin to leave—saying he is a bigger threat and will win—along with the fact that i would not vote rachael. so, with that... ali flipped on an disloyal collin, and he was sent packing with 3 votes... they could have taken rachael out, but i made sure she stayed... and i will make sure she knows that too for future benefit. my position in this game has done a complete 180, and i could not be happier. i can now execute my game plan of taking out timmy/ali in the next two rounds... and when the time comes, my lovely rachael will have to go too, as i think she also has an amazing shot at winning this game.

Episode #13 “What is the acronym of the day? ‘IDK’” -Jess

Jess or Gavin HAD to know something about that tribal that we didn't know.  It was SO confusing but I'm glad to still be here. I'm still so lost and I can't wait to read confessionals and find out what really happened. I'm a little worried about Thursday because while I didn't see my boyfriend today Thursday I will ONCE AGAIN be on the road during tribal and I won't have Cindi to call and tell me what the heck to do so...  we'll see. I'm just kind of sad that I didn't get immunity. I REALLY hope that Ali wins it for the other group, it will give us a small pool of people to choose to vote from but him being safe is better than neither of us being safe. Also I'm going out of town Monday-Wednesday and I'm planning to not tell anyone and just have them think I'm spending that much time with my boyfriend if I make it to that round.  Fingers crossed that I make it and have to worry about what the heck I'm going to say then. 

-i will now perform a song i like to call apologising to jess. JESS FOR WHEN YOU READ THIS JUST KNOW I LOVE YOU AND I AM SORRY FOR BEING SO FRUSTRATED WITH YOU ALL THE TIME. YOU ARE A LOVELY PERSON AND IM SUPER GLAD WE ARE FRIENDS AND EVEN THO SOMETIMES YOU DRIVE ME BANANAS AS A PLAYER IM SO HAPPY WE GET TO PLAY A GAME TOGETHER AND CROSS THAT OFF OUR COLLECTIVE SURVIVOR BUCKETLIST!! YOU REMAIN A LEGEND

-so i'm right back to being frustrated after my love session, but this time not with jess. love jess, literally never ever dissed. ANYWAY, so collin was a clown in immunity and meant timmy won, which sends me into a depression the likes of which the world has truly never seen. cant believe people are falling over themselves to keep him in the game. @ rachael hopefully this round, me/birch/jess/ruthie/gavin can split up collin/rachael/timmy but we will have to see ahh

-https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uuohi9slblA

welcome back to another round of people are fucking idiots and don't want to make the smart move for once in their GODDAMN LIVES. in a perfect world, collin would have left this round, because he is not only playing both sides... he is doing so without the threat of being IN A DUO! literally giving him a clear path to the end of this game... unless people wake the fuck up soon. i tried to scramble last minute after planning and scheming all day, but people decided to waste a chaotic round and BLIND round on CHIPS OF ALL PEOPLE. i literally needed chips to stay in this game so bad so i would have a chance... but now, i feel like i have no chance. however, that's not going to stop me from taking shots at the people who i feel need to go. i had a hit list, and while this ruins a lot of my plans... i think i can still come back and take out most of the people who need to go. i am honestly mainly upset with birch and jess honestly, birch is doing nothing in this game except for what they're told, and jess played way too scared and didn't back me up when she needed to. so, if we lose this game, i'm going to blame that on her. sorry not sorry! gavin out! xoxo

-idk if I submitted this or not? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dU_xifaXZW4&feature=youtu.be

-Why is this game constantly a guessing game. What is the acronym of the day?!  IDK Birch: I THINK wants to come for Gavin, but Gavin is already worried about his name being out there and nothing is confirmed so IDK whats going on. BRITISH, 6:46 PM like idk Rachael, 7:52 PM yeah idk Gavin, 7:31 PM IDK No one else has spoken to me. ALSO PART OF THIS GOT LEAKED IN THE MAIN CHAT SO PARTY.

ugh this got so complicated. I'm allied with 6/8 of this f8, but the people I'm not allied with no one wants to vote out, so now I'm sat here telling all my allies i'll deflect their name when in reality one of them has to get voted out and I'm STRESSED. This will probably bite me in the ass.

Episode #12 “I WANT TO SCREAM” -Ruthie

-okay so i just spent hours and hours on an immunity challenge and if i lose i will scream into the void i wanna win this immunity SO BAD, but i bet someone like gavin or timmy is going to SNATCH IT from me. UGH. anyway. so i'm (as always) frustrated. the tribe in general after cindi was voted out was like, oh that was so tough :/ ewww so rough. and i literally only buy it from collin. people like jess, cindi fought for your advancement in this game (cindi's lie won gavin immunity), and yet they do nothing. i would not be suprised if jess didn't fight at ALL for cindi. what is the point in having allies, if you wont fight for them, defend them, and try to ensure their advancement hello? i'm mad. people can say last round was rough and a tough choice, but it was your choice so stand up in it. i don't wanna hear it. anyway so i did this in my host chat but right now a trust ranking is: ruthie > gavin > jess > collin > rachael > birch > chips > timmy and a ranking of how i'd vote as a juror: collin > gavin/ruthie > rachael > chips/jess > birch > timmy

-okay so good news and bad news. good news! i won IMMUNITY, i literally bodied that i put so so much work in, I'm really proud!! i earned that and that challenge was super fun, my first immunity challenge win this YEAR and i also make f8 so this game will not be my lone worst survivor placement. lots of individual wins there. bad news. i'm literally DONE with jess LMAOOO, she is so frustrating. her catching eels in the tribe chat is such a red flag to me, like imagine having such little trust in an ally to do that without even checking on them to see what it is. she can pretend it was an accident but no player as wildly anxious and paranoid as jess would make a mistake in an idol hunt like this. i'd LOVE to vote her out i'm like so so so SO unebelievably ready. her being like i'm going home :( every round gets real old when she is up the entire tribe's BUTT 24/7. i want to put in a lot of work this round, i wanna make a three person alliance of me/ruthie/collin, i want to link up with rachael further, and i want to see how much wiggle room there is between gavin/jess (because i wanna go further with gavin than jess, even tho both are challenge threats). ideal votes for this round are rachael or chips maybe? maybe chips, he has shown he is a bit trigger fingers with big moves and he isnt loyal to me clearly.

-What I have come to expect when reading this chat. Any of the following: 1. Ali hating men 2. Ali getting an advantage 3. Ali bitching about Jess and/or Bodhi - wise words of ryan teddy palmer about my host chat.

-time for more jess talks. jess talks as a player like an 8-ball that has just been pushed through a shredder? she only talks in hypothetical questions and cliches. in my last few attempts at instigating game talk with jess she has said phrases like: - "THE BUFFET IS CLOSED." , in reference to me saying lots of people seem to talk to her - "Yeah same I don't see him trying to mastermind anything after the last couple of rounds? I think the doctor ordered a healthy dose of humble pie to him.." , about me saying i dont know if me or timmy are that close she is literally the queen of talking in hypothetical questions and saying legit nothing of substance as a player. rn the whole tribe is attempting to work with jess and i do not want to be dealing with it. so the agenda for now, is to remove one of her minions. jess literally tries to work with everyone in this game and ends up working with nobody, and then is shocked when it doesnt work KJDFSALJSA. i want to make an alliance with collin, he can't go to final three because of reasons but he is in a similar spot to me. maybe a final five of me/ruthie/collin/birch/timmy would be cute? maybe that's the move. idk i just want jess gone JKDFHASDKAFA. the eel catching was the last straw.

I WANT TO SCREAM. HEY JESS??? Why didn't you want to go to rocks last week when you voted Cindi out?  Makes me wonder if she knew about Timmy's vote steal thing or what. I am very annoyed.  And unsure of what to do this round, I kind of feel like Gavin and Jess (RIP the Jills) are playing me and Ali :/ Also sorry when you guys read this LOL.

Episode #11 “Revenge? is a dish best served cold” -Ali

-all i have to say. all i have to say. is revenge? is a dish best served cold. that whole vote was a nightmare. but i've promised to be nicer in my confessionals/host chat so i'm gonna keep it nice. chips is completely a liar, like he just played into the bodhi plan for no reason and its so annoying! he thinks he is playing the middle with tact, but he is just playing it really like... wobbly. jess? never dissed. was honest with me, tried to keep me calm. I STAN JESS. i think she will probably win the season and i'm? here for it. i also love gavin and i feel so bad that he burned his idol for no reason. i feel like none of me/cindi/ruthie is making it to the end, so i hope to be able to vote for gavin or jess. collin is a sweetheart, definitely the best player on his side. i also love rachael now that is also a sweetheart. timmy i do not vibe with, am never hear for men calling women bitches. as men we can and should do better than gross crap like that. birch is lovely, they never seem to know whats up in this game JKFDAS but they are a sweetheart never the less!. anyway so i gave ruthie the idol? because i stick with my allies. and if people are calling us a trio, why not keep cindi as the big threat and ruthie as the disconnected 'easier vote', keeps me cushioned comfortably in the middle mhmm. it was definitely risky but also having two idols was making me feel literally SICK. so agenda moving forwards? work down from that. i also have a jury of men who are likely to dislike me so what can you do about THAT, i'm here to have fun and pull off some cracked shenanigans and i sure did just do that. would LOVE to continue voting off men next round, chips or timmy suits me fine idc which one. my agenda this season is to make sure one of gavin/jess/ruthie/cindi wins the season JNKFDAS screw the rest. they can all GO. but once again bodhi... this is what happens when you tussle with me. in the words of that one game of thrones character (i havent seen the show)... tell bodhi.. i want him to know it was me.

-two final thoughts: - trent has pointed out that this is the third vote out in a row where i said twenty-four hours before tribal 'i want it to be' and then said who left. that streak will DEFINITELY end tho JNKDAFS - i feel like idoling bodhi while unambitious, was good for my game. he has the capacity to come after me lategame, he was connected to people i wasnt, breaks up that voting block of 4 while keeping in collin/rachael who trust me more. im... at peace.

-https://youtu.be/Yy5THF05qjg (from the day after Bodhi left)

-hello okay so today has been... so illuminating? main points are that i do not trust jess, and do trust collin and rachael again? also chips is full of LIES. and as i took a 10min break from writing this i started second guessing myself again, maybe collin is lying. honestly everyone on this tribe is confusing. i've been defending this trio narrative all day but people maybe dont even care. also i feel bad for bodhi that is a king even tho he is so shady all the time as a player NJDFKLAS. cant wait to join him in jury.

-okay so i am once again frustrated. ruthie, gavin and cindi never dissed. rachael and collin are also all good, but the rest whewie. first up jess. jess is my friend and this is by no means a reflection of her as a person, but as a player oh my GOD she is so frustrating. she just has no like... conviction as a player? like jess what do you stand for in this game, what are you as a player. i said in my host chat but talking to her is like trying to staple jelly to a wall, as a player she just... is so. so hollow? idk i just wanna see her have conviction and to see her fight for something . chips is also frustrating as a player he just sits and has an agenda of 'splitting up groups', but all that happens is he gets picked up by a group to target another group, what has he... actually done? he is #2 on my angry list, and top spot is taken by... timmy. timmy i am talking to for the first time in a few days today and its incredibly frustrating. he is sending me this wall of excuses and i? do not want to hear it. i should not have to explain to a grown man that calling a woman a bitch, and he can say he 'snapped and crossed the line' and that it was out of character all he wants but i- do not want to hear it. timmy can be mad all he wants after he gets blindsided and say the entire tribe talks down to him, but then when he leaks cindi's ENTIRE PLAN, cindi isnt allowed to be mad at him? and cindi also kept it as GAME. this is what is so frustrating to me, i've had videos made about how annoying i am in games, i've had people say all sorts of gross personal stuff about me and so i dont wanna hear it. i've had people call my game the worst they have EVER see and i just sat there and took. i. do. not. want. to. hear. it. this game has reminded me of three things, how much i love ruthie (my undisputed closest ally at this point), how much i love olivia and lukas and how much i hate men.

WELL, WELL, WELL... another round of complete and utter RADIO SILENCE. with allegiances to almost everyone left in the game aside from chips, bodhi, and collin, this round was destined to be extremely hard to navigate. there was a lot of talk about breaking up the "trio" of ali, cindi, and ruthie. while i can recognize the danger of keeping a trio in, it is also an enormous target ahead of myself and my duo with jess. an alliance was formed between myself, jess, timmy, and rachael, and we essentially wanted to vote with timmy and rachael to avoid them feeling discluded from the vote and having no trust with us. despite the silence, ruthie's name began to rise above, which as much as i love ruthie, i wanted to be able to appease to timmy and rachael while still being in a "middle position" where i could play both sides that are starting to form. however, during the final fifteen minutes of the vote, CHAOS broke free. bodhi's name started get pushed by ruthie and ali, and as much as i loved that idea, the numbers were not there. so, i encouraged ruthie to play an idol on herself if she had one because otherwise she was leaving, so either way, i would not be at fault for her getting votes. however, bodhi began to try to push a back-up plan to get votes on me instead of him... and when ruthie played her idol, i couldn't risk it knowing how few votes it would take to control the outcome of the vote. so, i wasted my idol. HOWEVER, this seemed to work out well for me, because people seem to trust me a lot more and were very sympathetic towards me wasting it... so i am going to ride on that sympathy for the next few rounds.

So class, today we're going to talk about the difference between a villain and a bitch. I think the class is confused about the distinction. A villain plays the game for themselves. They do not take their alliances seriously or they use them to steam roll. I have been guilty of both of these within this game. I am a villain in this game. You can call me that and I will give you game-related sass back because that is what villains do. Call out my game. It has been chaotic and has a lot of flaws. It's ugly. It hurts people who thought they were close to me (almost everyone thought they were close to me at merge so someone's gettin hurt). A bitch is a personal insult. To call someone that implies that they have explicitly hurt you personally within this game. I would consider a bitch to be someone who, I don't know, attacks someone's personality because they didn't align with them in-game. I'm done with Timmy. He can continue pulling his "No one talks to me" card all he wants, it's a game move that I will never respect, especially when people did talk to you about the Keegan vote. And to be clear, people did talk to both Timmy and Rachael about the Keegan vote. They can claim no one talked to them but the idea was floated by them and they shut it down and Keegan found out about it shortly after. So someone leaked it to him. So when we're looking to get him out last minute I'm sorry that you are not on my list of who to call to vote him out. I've been a shit ally to both Rachael and Timmy and I legitimately was going to try to make that better. Now I think I'm just gonna keep voting Timmy till he's gone and if Rachael stays I'll switch to her. I probably won't actually do that, but I'm over it. I will not vote with Timmy, if I learn he's in on a plan I'm throwing my damn vote somewhere else. 

-SO... ALI SENT ME HIS IDOL and I used it and I didn't go home!  It sucks that I got so many votes and it looked like the one that blabbed was Chips which is disappointing but oh well. I can't believe at one time I trusted him more than Cindi and Ali.  I'm so glad I told her about the counting to get an advantage and not Chips because I really thought about it but Cindi was the last person I had PM'd and had kept  me in the loop so I told her.   Also we made another alliance with the three of us annnnd Gavin and Jess who were both down but as soon as I made it, neither one of them talked? Like...  I know everyone has a life but I expect people to be around when I make an alliance chat!! :k So... we will see what happens with that, the three of us may be screwed after all, lol. 

-I really hope that Cindi is going to stay... time will tell what will happen and who people can kind of trust. 

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VcNPArwK8PM&feature=youtu.be

hello I am drinking at a wedding and hope I don’t get voted out ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ 

This vote and this round are sad and ugly because it became personal. I still really don't know what to do but am sticking with the first person who talked to me today. Hoping that once either of the two is out of the game that this can turn back into being a game.

After the confrontation with Cindi last round, I knew this round was going to be tricky. In the challenge, we all had two secret books we had to figure out who's books belonged to who. I was able to somehow get everyones except for Ruthie and Cindi. Cindi lied about her books to someone else and they told me the lie (not knowing it was a lie) so the 4 points I missed were both of their books. After the vote, Cindi posted in the main chat that it had to be her or I who went home this round, which tore a lot of people up because they are friends with both of us and do not want to choose sides. I do not believe that Cindi posted that for people to choose sides, but more for her mental health. Sadly, to find that closure it does involve people choosing sides. So far, everyone besides Ali and Ruthie have told me in a way they are saving me, but this is survivor anything can happen. I am on my guard, but we will see when the vote comes down today. If I survive, this could become a large turning point for my game.

an exhausted gavin has made an appearance to his confessional... my main goal was to win immunity after misplaying my idol last round. can we talk about how embarrassing that is? luckily, i think i am positioned well enough where i am no one's first target, and if i am, not enough people would turn against me. i have been trying to play the middle, and this vote between cindi and timmy has definitely put that position into jeopardy. i just need to do my best to remain close to ali and ruthie, and then from there i can focus on taking out people like collin who is in a similar position as i am trying to play the middle. unfortunately, this vote is breaking my heart, but i don't want a trio to dominate the game as much as i love cindi. so, at this point, i am voting for her... but i am not opposed to her staying.

Episode #10 “I’d rather get idoled out” -Bodhi

-there was literally... no need or reason for any of that to play out in the way it did. truly NO reason. cindi is literally bananas the way she whipped like four men into formation to vote with her is literally iconic, and i got my wish and that keegan man is GONE. that's what i needed and that's what he gets for targetting me and ruthie. i truly dont know who voted with me, it was probably cindi/ruthie/chips + one other, but it SENDS ME that collin/bodhi probably didn't LMAOOO KLAJSDFA. this game is literally bananas i dont understand anyone or anything. also call out post to jess, i LOVE you but you sometimes need to just express an opinion, but im now holding off on this just in case she didnt. but a call out WILL be coming. honestly im holding off on this confessional till i have answers because idk who voted with me and im lost

-okay so. first off all men can go. first and FOREMOST. but also this is a call out post that not voting with someone is nothing personal? like i love rachael and can tolerate timmy, but also like the kind of fit they are throwing doesn't really sit right with me? this is a GAME and they are mad at people for not voting with them and i? don't want to hear it. that's lame and timmy's pity party is PARTICULARLY frustrating to hear because like... he makes no effort to suggest plans and its annoying. next up collin and bodhi. they are teaching me that ALL men do is LIE. now prefacing this with the fact that jess might be playing me, in which case pop off go off my queen. but the two of them are INSISTENTLY lying about their votes, particularly bodhi. bodhi is the most infuriating player i've ever played with ASFDLKSJAJFASD, he keeps thinking he is so funny going i told rachael i was voting birchhhh and i told keegan fuck :/. like he is saying those things to tell me he lied but he actually did all of those things and i wanna SCREAM. this is why i can not. and will not. tolerate men. on no planet is that my agenda. FKLDJSA im probably getting votes tonight i feel like my death is imminent.

-at the hosts this video is from the afternoon before i got sweet revenge https://youtu.be/Kq2Q2kFDZVs

-people are telling me different things about this vote, non of the dots are connects and they all contridict each other. this is the secind time i've been targeted so i need a won or I;m gone 

-So here's the tea, Last night I was basically blindsided, yes I am still here but there was a tie between me and Keegan last night. there are some stories that don't make a whole lot of sense to me, but the one consistent thing is that  Keegan had it for me and Cindi saved my ass (thank the gods for her) so I trust Cindi. I'm currently talking to Collin about everything and a bit with jess, but, yeah let's see what happens! I also got 13 votes over the course of 2 rounds so idk how I'm alive. 

-This is Chaos, Pure unadulterated Chaos. Timmy is calling out Cindi in the tribe chat, It is 2 hours until vote and no one really has a name besides mine and Chips. Cindi and Timmy are fighting in the tribe chat about last vote, and just ahhhhhhhhhhhh, I just need a name, that's all I need.

-Me telling Cindi how to get to an advantage when I thought she was going and her telling Ali! Which is fine because I adore Ali but... it worries me because I also told her that I talked a lot with Jess and Chips earlier when she asked who I was closest to.. YIKES. Anyway I'm glad that Ali, Cindi and I have an alliance together because I feel REALLY close to both of them.  I keep changing who I feel closest to, lol.  I'm definitely close to Chips too though, I just hope those two don't ever want to go against him because I would feel so bad. But I found a key and Ali has two and has to visit some different books, when he visits them all I think he will get an idol or an advantage which is exciting!  

-So, Ali has some kind of advantage and I’m guessing an idol! He talks like he would use it on Cindi or I if he needs to and that makes me feel VERY good but who really knows lol. I’m really curious about what is going to happen tonight, no one is saying names yet. 

This round I will probably be voting in the minority. I am here for a good time not a long time. I trust nobody. I want the idol. My days are looking bleak. They won't share coconuts with me on the beach anymore. They looked through my bag and almost found my advantage. If I die here, tell Rachael that I am not interested in her advances as I am gay. <3 

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=exJSwmJLKWE&feature=youtu.be

Alright so I have been tryong to get the trio of Cindi/Ali/Ruthie split up this round. A case was made to keep Condi by Timmy exploding at her. A case was made for Ali by him being too well liked by people to sway a vote. So then we will vote Ruthie? I pitched to literally everyone I could. The three didn't want to give a name until like ten minutes to tribal and settled on Bodhi. I feel I wouldnt be so adamant about breaking up groups I perceived if they'd at least pretend to invite me to an alliance.

Episode #9 “This whole tribal is a chaotic puddle and I am living for it” -Keegan

-Those Magic Tree House Missions are absolutely ridiculous and I can't believe how many hours I spent going through them and submitting them. Jack and Annie are DEAD to me.

-Got so close to winning immunity and I’m very sad I didn’t. Damn BODHI and his challenge booster. It’s been an incredibly quiet day surrounding tribal and no one was bringing up a name or saying anything. So I started telling people I’d like to vote RUTHIE or ALI and now RUTHIE’s name is starting to spread. If you want things done you gotta do it yourself.

-This whole tribal is a chaotic puddle and I am living for it because it’s all because of me. I threw out RUTHIE’s name to start the day and told pretty much everyone that. It got back to RUTHIE who is now throwing out my name. CINDI doesn’t want either of us gone so she threw out BIRCH. I told BIRCH that CINDI was after them. Chaos is fun! The target might land on me tonight, or at least a few votes but I am living for this. 

https://youtu.be/68JD73vViH4

Another Tuesday that I’m on the road during tribal council AHH I think I’m in the loop with several different groups so there is that, right now I’m working the closest with Chips and Jess, I think but I still want to work close with Cindi and Ali. Mayyybe Collin too even though I think he was trying to hide who he was voting for last round. Also I LOVE Gavin! We talk a good bit too about game related and not, I hope we can work closer in the game. 

https://youtu.be/1fBeXC42nsU (round 7)

https://youtu.be/RnKy_ODyaWQ (round 7)

-literally idk where y'all found these people i truly do not

https://youtu.be/xOPGjkjgVv8

-this vote could be keegan. this vote could LITERALLY be keegan if the keegan men defenders would just let it BE. what is it about that man that has people falling over themselves to protect him i will NOT have it it is so frustrating and i will not sit here and be a man-enabler.

Holy Shit, this vote is A MESS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I have heard about 4 different votes. IDK which one is true anymore but I'm staying with the Ruthie vote i guess

Hello this tribal is messy af. No clue who’s going home. Probably birch. Probably not me but who knows at this point.

The amount that I don't trust Keegan is insane. I want him out but somehow apparently I want Birch out so I guess I'm getting Birch out

I confess that AT&T sucks majorly and now they are saying the 23rd. Wow... and my phone says lol no data for you! Anyway, people were quiet all day and not willing to say names. I wanted to spread the name Collin because he didn't respond to me but then Keegan is very anti-Ruthie for whatever reason. This got him targeted? I think? Anyway even if she does go I am voting to keep Ruthie... nonone wants to be in an aliens with me and I will do what I want until they change their mind. Honestly... what is it about me that screams "don't ally with him" I feel so sad and ostracized in ORGs because I know they are all plotting in their groups what works best for them and I'm just a number for whoever however I vote.

Episode #8 “CAN YOU SAY MESS” -Cindi

https://youtu.be/kJt8-zZe8Ck

-this is fucked up i have to confess tribal is in 4 mins.. theres a bunch of stuff about this vote why do people know zch is in a 5 person alliance .. . .. . .. . . . . . why is cindi voting out zach why do i have individual immunity lmao i want zach on the jury ://////////

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gNbHN000ka8

-alright ladies we made it to the merge. finally back together with Gavin loml. also it seems that Jess, Zach and Keegan missed me as well based on how the whole touchy subjects thing went for me so thats cute. ALSO TIMMY Z IS HERE AND WE ONLY HAVE TO CALL HIM TIMMY BECAUSE THE OTHER ONE IS GONE!!! side bar: timmy and i are bestie pals and im so excited to finally be on a tribe together umm thats pretty much all i've got for now. also there are only 5 OG Annie's left in this game and 3 of them are working with me for the moment so I think I am in a pretty decent spot. apparently the OG Annies called me and Jess threats so they can go honestly. but half of them are already gone now i think so ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

-this tribal is about to be really messy and im really tired of cindi's bullshit about refusing to change her vote

-MERGE BABY!!!! WOOOOOO~!!!  So, This tribe seems cool!I;m mainly excited i made merge. My allies are currently Keegan, Jess and I think Gavin. I want to ally with the people I haven't played with yet. sorry this is short

-So I feel like I was totally on the bottom after the Jay vote. I feel like I can’t turn to my old allies (although I have) and like. In touchy subjects when I was voted most likely to be voted out next I had like one person come to me and be like “oh that’s so not true. I don’t see you as next” but like. I wasn’t even surprised that I got it. I am kinda relying on allying with new people but you can’t force people to ally without you. Everytime I have tried to ally with people I have already played with it fails. So now that narrows it down to Collin, Cindi, and maybe Rachael. But I need To get close to them first. Collin also knows how I played in Tashirojima. He has brought it up to me 2 separate times now, so I’m scared he might think I’m going to play like that again and try and target me or something. Idk. I’m just a big ball of scared.

-So 5 people of got immunity. I got like 9th. I'm real upset about it. I know it doesn't really mean anything in the grand scheme of things. Anyway. I;m like 90% sure I;m going home but I'll try my best to ya know. not. I really hope I can work with collin although I don't really have an alliance. so lets see how this goes.

https://youtu.be/wLA8Pt4bXlQ

https://youtu.be/r-8Y2n2NGJo

-Welcome to Merge O' Clock! We finally made the merge, although unless I'm dumb (which is entirely possible) we haven't yet made the jury. The post says a final 3 with 9 jury members, and there is 13 of us left. Interesting. But anyways, I made the merge and I'm super happy about that. It's very exciting to win the previous season and actually be in the running to win this season. Like I feel like I've played a pretty good game so far and I have enough alliances and strong bonds to make it far. Unless I get targeted for that reason. In terms of trust rankings, lemme do that real quick: Most Trusted JESS ZACH GAVIN RACHAEL TIMMY BIRCH CINDI CHIPS BODHI ALI = RUTHIE = COLLIN I've currently got my Canadian Alliance with JESS and BIRCH, as well as an alliance with GAVIN, ZACH and RACHAEL. There's also the alliance with TIMMY, GAVIN, JESS and ZACH thought I don't know if that one will stick around much. I'm trying hard to build a relationship with CINDI, who is amazing. If I can get all these things aligned, we can vote out RUTHIE, ALI, CINDI, CHIPS, COLLIN and BODHI before there's really anything to worry about. But the game is never that easy. My biggest goal right now is to make sure I win immunity for this first vote. The first merge vote can be super telling where everyone is standing and I need to make sure that the target doesn't somehow fall on me. I have to stay safe for at least this vote. 

-Guess who’s immune at the merge tribal council! THIS GUY! And also COLLIN, JESS, GAVIN and BODHI. Surprise twist where five people win immunity, which is crazy. I’m mostly just vibing right now and seeing where people’s heads are at. Been having some nice conversation with ALI, COLLIN and CINDI. Will I work with them ever? I’m not sure. I’m very happy that JESS and GAVIN are safe. I trust them a lot and hope we can work together moving forward. I just need to make sure I keep my head low enough to avoid a target but high enough that people know this is my game to win. 

-So if everything I have been told so far is true, this is going to be a very messy vote. Initially it was BIRCH and CHIPS whose names were on the line but as the day progressed it became between ZACH and BIRCH. And honestly there is merit in voting for either of them. ZACH is a very good player with a metric crap tonne of connections but I've also been loyal to him since the start of the game. BIRCH could be a super loyal ally moving forward but I've also betrayed them at a previous point in the game. Currently, it seems like BIRCH, CHIPS, RUTHIE, GAVIN are for sure voting for ZACH. Currently, it seems like ZACH, RACHAEL, CINDI, COLLIN are for sure voting for BIRCH. But also as I was typing this out, BODHI created an alliance chat with COLLIN, GAVIN, JESS and myself. I'm not even sure if it's an alliance or if BODHI just wanted to make a joke about the Illuminati. Mom? Come pick me up I don't want to be here anymore. 

-okay so its merge time... and i've been doing bad at confessing because i've been going through it but its time to reassess and get back into GEAR. so timmy died last tribal, he was kinda being bananas and targetting rachael in a really flawed way (bodhi would've probably been the move). i like rachael even though i'm about to come after her friendgroup full force, and it just wasn't the time. also... timmy is the only person i've played with multiple times who has outplaced me each time so KJFDSA... was biased to end that. only other risk of that on this tribe is bodhi, but might be sending him packing sooner rather than later. anyway so merge and first things FIRST. I FINALLY. FINALLY. get put on a tribe with JESS. I'VE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS DAY FOR MY SPIDERMAN POINTING AT SPIDERMA QUEEN. i'm telling her too much (me telling j-names too much who is shocked), but we are gonna mob boss it as two tribe figureheads and keep it PUSHING. Otherwise I love gavin… I used my connection with sarah g to him for clout because im shameless but I love him and he seems relatively disconnected on the tribe… he looks like kori who would catfish games so im like looks around but he gives good energy hope he likes me. chips is a SWEETHEART and was also on the bottom so looking to scoop him up. Okay so birch. Birch is lovely, birch played in my first tumblr survivor season. Birch has SO much personality… in chats of 2+ people, but in our PMs a better name for them is the SAHARAH. Love your lack of energy, go give us NOTHING. But what can you do. I ALSO might need them in even tho if I get one more ‘Nice!’ from them as a response I will perform walking from the cast. Keegan hasn’t messaged me yet…taps foot. Will not be messaging a MAN first not on my watch. Zach is sweet but he is a CHILD AND I DON’T TRUST CHILDREN IN games. I also just booby trapped him in the idol hunt so… looks around. I also have one key and I need ONE MORE TO get into this mystical last book which im ON A MISSION TO DO. In other news collin leaked the 6 person alliance so looks around… that man has such  white gay who wins games energy and im not having it. Ideal Bootlist: Zach > Keegan > Bodhi > Collin > Cindi > Birch > Timmy > Rachael > Chips > Jess (F3: Me/Ruthie/Chips)

-okay so im deflated again. first off, the conglomerate of friends has got to go its so frustrating, the mesopotamia/svalbard gathering is really really disaster. they make their friend group so obvious and yet there is nothing we can do. the zach/collin/rachael/bodhi/cindi (?) svalbard/mesopotamia, PLUS people who voted with zach like keegan/timmy. its just so ANNOYING, can people WISE UP. i love jess, and im so so excited to work together but she also can be so slippery and wishywashy so its a real.. looks around, we need to wake cindi up. in other news... this tribe is really okay with letting collin win. he is misting EVERYONE and everyone is just sitting there and letting it happen. he has such white gay who just wins this game and everyone is gonna just LET HIM. final man i wanna complain about is keegan. LISTEN SIR, you will not catch me messaging a man first, so if you are upset about us having not spoken... then message me. then speak to me. dont tell people we havent spoken when i've made JUST AS MUCH EFFORT AS YOU. its not my fault you are so unbelievably dry in pms. grrrr i just HATE men and i have to deal with SO MANY on this tribe.

-okay so. we are maybe voting out the child i truly do not know. jess, gavin and cindi never dissed. open to working with me, not relying exclusively on pregame connections, literal legends. chips and birch are literally making it so hard to save them, they both have the biggest mouths i've EVER seen and the subtlety of a reversing truck. they have SUCH big mouths and are making the odds of a zach idol play INCREDIBLY high. also zach can go making majority alliances without me, its shenanigans like this that get you merge boot Sir.

-so im sitting on call with cindi as we plot the end of the zach. this is so sad i feel bad for him even tho this is definitely a good move for me AHHhhh.

-I'm crossing my fingers that I somehow pulled out a win for this creative comp (I doubt it because it looks like a toddler drew my tree house) because I have been very anti social! I've been talking to people in PM's a bit but the chat is just too many people and going too fast for me, LOL.   I just hope our little group of four will stick together.  I haven't talked to them as much since we merged but I guess it is good that we are all mingling and trying to maybe find some cracks? I've talked to Chips, Jess and some of the others from the merged tribe a good bit. 

Tea time!  So Chips wants to get Collin, Cindi, Rachael, Zach or Bodhi out because they are in some kind of alliance for some games they were in? I don't know I didn't know they were all so well connected lol. Alsooo Jess and I have a two person alliance consisting of ourselves that we are referring to as the Jills heh heh.  I guess right now I'm closest to Jess?  I am going to tell her whatever I hear name wise and feel she will do the same to me and I'm hoping that we can like, feed each other information and go to the end while also working with other people if that makes sense.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oOgNIykteiM&feature=youtu.be

This round is a split between Zach and birch for who is going home this week. My treehouse got 6th so I sadly missed the immunity mark This week could possibly come down to just 1 vote. That’s why Zach and I traded powers so we can know who voted with who so we can make sure we understand who is voting where for next round. 

so I mad it to the merge! Good stuff! Anyway, the immunity challenge had a twist where multiple people are immune. And i am not. Thats what I get for taking a picture of a tree with 🦕! After results I hear no one saying a name and I don't like that because I don't want whatever random alliance that has already formed dictating... so I decide I'm going to spread Zach. I think he stands a good shot of success because he is well of not only in meta-gaming with relationships but also controlled the premerge. Sooooo I started saying him. Anyway, I am hoping people are actually voting with him them I will feel comfortable to make an alliance. Cindi is part of or immediately under the core group that has taken it upon themselves to say names. I heard from her they originally wanted to do my name because "easy" and not as well liked on the tribe. They were between me and Birch but Cindi said no thanks to me. Anyway, they have been spreading Birch and I have been spreading Zach and now I know it is between the two. If Zach has a power and takes control this round I am still happy I planted the seed and he should not be long for the game. Also, if they do not follow through in voting Birch and vote me instead I will feel better about my self for doing something because I feel loke I've really let down the hosts with how inactive I have been with the move. Hope bringing the drama redeems me just a little.

SO WHAT IS NOT THE TEA. LEAKING ASS LEAKERS IS NOT THE TEA. I'm in a giant alliance with Svalbard/Mesopotamia people and I'm like that is chill or whatever. But Gavin somehow knows about this alliance but doesn't know that I'm in it? So, like, uhhh don't like that. Don't want to fucking be associated with a majority alliance. Plus I don't want Chips being on the bottom. I love Chips. But love the way that Birch decided it was me voting them out? Also that they decided to just, like, give a name of everyone voting with them to Zach, who we're voting out. CAN YOU SAY MESS.

AHHHH! okay so this round has been absolutely CHAOTIC. from the stress of meeting so many new people, and trying to secure my place in this game going forward, to spending HOURS building a treehouse in the sims and being one of the five people to win immunity because of the twist i picked a few rounds ago (thanks for EXPOSING ME BY THE WAY). but going into the round, i honestly had my sights set on zach. he was by far the most connected and well-rounded player in the merge in my opinion, and something needed to be done about it. so, with that i (along with jess) had our work cut out for us. this move needed to happen NOW, or it might just never happen. together, we went around and planted seeds, spread information, and made sure that people realized zach not only had alliances with them, but everyone else in the game as well. i felt like i had made pretty strong connections with ali, cindi, and ruthie, and those were definitely three people we would need to make this move happen. so, we got to work spreading zach's name (with birch somehow exposing everyone but me basically). the hardest part for me was lying to rachael because i love her so much, but she was one of the people that were too close to zach. i knew i needed him to go, so she would be closer to me... but with that comes regaining and rebuilding the trust lost by lying to her as well, so once again, i have my work cut out for me in a totally different way--it will take time, but i think she will realize that she does need me, i just need to prove it to her.

Episode #7 “#Zachexposed Party” -Jess

-VI was voted out and now I’m forever sad. I wish you the best VI and hope you feel better soon! Goal #1 can never be accomplished now so that’s a bummer. But at least my alliance member RACHAEL wasn’t voted out! And now we’re doing Touchy Subjects with 95% negative answers. Drama here we come! 

-We won another Challenge! Annie Tribe curse has been officially broken! Touchy Subjects was the name, and me winning was the game. I don’t ducking know. But I scored the highest on my tribe and won a ~mysterious package~ which turned out to be an idol clue. “Find the idol will no longer be a walk on the shore. In order to succeed, two items you will need.” So at least three searches in the idol search I suppose. I might share the clue with JESS and BIRCH and have them help me find the idol. Though I might just tell them part of the clue or something so they don’t have the whole picture. I’m undecided. I’m really hoping the other tribe votes off ALI, COLLIN or RUTHIE, since I think I’m the least likely to work with any of those three. RACHAEL must stay, BODHI I could work with and TIMMY I’m neutral on. CINDI is a bit of a wildcard but I think I could manage to work with her as well. JESS is speculating there’s a merge after the vote and I’m inclined to agree with that. A new idol search and we’ll be at 13 players which is a typical merge. I did not come into this game expecting to win, or even make the merge. But now I think I have a real shot at going far. Imagine me getting to FTC twice in a row in Atomic. How cool would that be? 

Death by Skittle

-(this is for last round i am a bit late) Last round in the video challenge, which I ended up somehow becomming the editor for. First of all, I asked for the video clips to be in by sunday night so that I could do the video and be done with it, but Chips put it off and ended up making us wait till Monday morning which really set us back. Then Keegan submitted videos with almost no sound and little feeling so it was hard to use any of his clips. Then Jess decided to edit the video I made, and when she did that the lyrics didnt match the song anymore and it almost cost us the challenge. We also found out Birch has a +10 advantage, so need to be aware of that.Birch and Chips are my biggest targets on this tribe, and i am still ina  really good spot with Zach and Jess, and close allies with Gavin and Keegan

-This round was touchy subjects. The tribe thought that I was the mvp of the tribe which makes me a possible target with the merge coming up. It was also revealed birch is not in a great place on my tribe and they also said they believe the majority of the tribe thinks I am next to go. I am concerned about my placement with them. Overall this round made me a bit nervous, but excited to hope for a merge in the future.

-There's a Mesopotamia/Svalbard alliance with Bodhi, Rachael, Collin, and me which I love cause I love all those people except Rachael sometimes but she hasn't had to do schoolwork once this game so that's nice. I'm just kidding I love Rachael as long as she doesn't have homework. Cause when she has homework that means she's voting me out. I swear the moment she has to do schoolwork its' done. And then Ali and Bodhi are on weird ground because of how Bodhi got rid of Ali in Lover BUT I REALLY WANT US TO HAVE AN ALLIANCE CALLED THE LOVERS CAUSE 1) Ali is very loyal so, like, I want to work with him 2) THAT NAME IS GREAT AND I DEMAND IT IN MY LIFE Then there's Timmy who has only spoken to me on call or in tribe chat. Nothing beyond that. So, like, bye Timmy. Bodhi also has an issue with Timmy but Rachael swears he's okay. But I don't want to have two Timmys anyway. What even are their last initials? Don't care enough to learn them. BYE TIMMY! Then there's Ruthie who is very sweet and I don't think super strategic? At least not at this point. She just seems like a nice mom. I don't even know if she is a mom. But she would be a nice one to, like, a 3? year old. Idk. Mom vibes. So I'd like to keep her in and I'm assuming that touchy subjects leads to a swap or merge (but this is a very early merge) so, like, hopefully she doesn't have to go after Timmy. It's absolutely insane to me that all of the tribals I've been to have been easy votes? Something spicy needs to happen sometime. Other tribe has had interesting votes. Not us. Couldn't be us.

-So Timmy thinks Collin, Rachael, him, and I are voting Bodhi out and possibly Ruthie as well. Yet he has still not messaged me once. Sir, why would I vote out Bodhi, whom I love dearly, to save your sorry ass when you have not even spoke to me? This dude either has an idol or is just crazy cause, like, that is not how you play Survivor. Do you actually want to stay? Then talk.

-okay! so we have quite a bit to catch up on... but on the bright side. WE WON IMMUNITY FOR ONCE! HALLELUJAH! i got sent to the treehouse which was EXCITING and i found the idol clue... which was literally to the idol i had so that was DISAPPOINTING to say the least. however, i also found the location of the other idol but someone else has it, which is good info to have at least. i posted a lot of my important information in my confessional, so i am just going to repost it here. basically, jess and i had a really good call about how we are not on the bottom, but are not in a good spot come merge. it's clear who is in power over here (zach, keegan, timmy)--because birch is with keegan, so we can't make a move against zach. so, if we lose again chips will leave (who is arguably a number for us because jess has him wrapped around his finger). on the other hand, i kind of have an in with zach and keegan--so i want to be able to milk that for as long as possible to get information on others in the game. but i am really not liking the closeness of timmy and zach especially (kind of keegan, but he has been a bit more lowkey the past few rounds, which is smart on his part). i just have a lot of adjusting to do, and i need to start planting seeds to turn people against each other (especially if we are merging soon). i feel good with rachael obviously, but i don't know how close she is with keegan/zach--but i do think she would turn on them eventually (just not anytime soon). im hoping the apparent alliance of 6 (now 4) and keegan/timmy/zach kind of battle one another and take each other out and i can just play the middle and watch them crumble.

-ARE WE SURPRISED MY CONFESSIONAL IS LATE AGAIN? I AM NOT... BUT I AM SORRY. anyways, this round the challenge was touchy subjects which was LOVELY for me because i am fucking AMAZING at knowing what other people are thinking so i basically knew i had it in the bag from the get-go. When we won, and I got that secret advantage which was an idol clue... that literally made no sense to me. however, i think i need to find two keys in order to get the idol... so, the first step for me is to hunt down these goddamn keys i guess. anyways, back to the tribe stuff... so, following the challenge and the post-winning glee emerged, jess and i went on call and discussed everything we were thinking. we were both very worried about crackhead zach's connections, and basically knew that we were merging, and he would be kind of untouchable as a result. however, if we were to have thrown the challenge, it would have been the perfect opportunity to take him out. however, it was too late to consider that, and we just had to continue our discussion about the game further down the line. so, on the topic of zach, jess mentions the "alliance" made between her, timmy, and zach. we both knew zach and timmy were very close, but this just confirmed it even more. basically, zach brought up the idea of making a 9 person alliance excluding ali, birch, chips, and i believe cindi. which, from that point, they could side with either me/keegan, or side with the other four (i don't know why i am being paired with keegan but go off i guess). i obviously didn't like hearing that, and it made it even more clear to me that he is playing not only a messy game, but an extremely wishy-washy game too. his loyalties seem to be all over the place, and i never see myself being one of his top priorities with collin, timmy, and rachael (and others) in the game. so, when the time is right... i am going to be the one to send his ass to ponderosa. i just hope i can keep my idol in the process for protection further down the line.

So it’ll probably be between myself and Bodhi at tribal tonight because I don’t really want him gone. He’s talking to me about a plan but he’s not giving an concrete answers and with that then I can’t help both of us. I already told him ruthie but he didn’t want to and I said that’s fine I only said her bc she seemed the easiest option, tbh I don’t really want her gone either since she’s not a threat. But when asking who he wants after that bc he said we could have our og tribe and ruthie vote together he didn’t give a name. The concern is, Rachel and Cindi are friends and I don’t think will vote each other. The biggest threat is Rachel because of her outside connections with Cindi, Zach, and I think Timmy Z, so concern is there. 

https://youtu.be/cX7Ieh2o3QU

https://youtu.be/HGm7ukcUEcU

Ladies, gentlemen, or whatever you identify as.... welcome to Phase 1 of the.... #Zachexposed party... hosted by me, Jess! I've decided I've been tame for too long and there needs to be a shake up. I haven't decided how quickly I want to do this BUT if I win first immunity I'm going for it. Zach is arguably the most dangerous player in the game right now. He's literally playing the game I typically play and I see right through it. No "large groups", working with small groups only, making people feel like they are his "true number ones" and attempting to align their interests with all the other groups. In his mind right now he sees himself covered by 8 people. 

The 8 people: 1. Jess 2. Timmy Z 3. Gavin 4. Cindi 5. Rachael 6. Collin 7. Collin 8. Either Timmy L or Bodhi How does this all work exactly? 

Let me break it all down for you: He has an alliance with: - Me & Timmy - Keegan & Gavin & (Rachael) - Me & Gavin & Timmy & Keegan - Connections with: --> Collin/Rachael/Cindi on the other tribe. I don't think it is a coincidence that the other tribe wants him on their team... ANYWAYS. 

What is phase 1 exactly? - Planting the seeds, laying down the blue print, and rallying the misfits. How: Rallying the troops: - I told Chips about the old tree house idol clue and the whole next round we are merging message I recieved. --> Obviously that builds a continued line of communication and hopefully trust. He feels pretty alone and I really think he's CRUCIAL to my game. - I also told Birch about my findings because those two (Chips and Birch) would never compare notes on me I don't think? --> Birch also feels a bit alone and they are CRUCIAL to my game. Lastly, I have an "alliance" with everyone else and they will tell Gavin everything before me so I'll be in the know. 

The ammo: - I can use the fact that the other tribe wants ZACH with them as another counter point - Confessionals of proof that Zach/Collin have been close recently which might not even mean anything to people but it counts when you got NOTHING. - The knowledge of him having an alliance with me/Timmy - The knowledge of him having an alliance with Keegan/Gavin - The knowledge of him having an alliance with Keegan/Gavin/Rachael - The knowledge of him being extra close with Rachael so whatever connections she made.. he has a head start on. - I also know he's close with Collin so they could essentially do the whole "control one side and you control the other" 

HOWEVER THE MOST IMPORTANT PIECE OF EVIDENCE/ AMMO IS: - Zach has basically given me the key to the palace today where he told me we could flip on Gavin/Keegan at 9 and "go with the other four" meaning.. Cindi/Bodhi/Collin/Rachael. Meaning.... he exposed who is he close with and people might wonder how they fit into his plans. Can't go to final 2 with 8 other people... 7 people will get cut and that's on mathematics. I'm not entirely sure how to go about this all... this is probably going to either tank my game or change the game. If Zach is as well connected as I think he is... this is going to be hard. I'll need to flip the people not in on that plan such as Ali, Chips, Birch, myself, Gavin, Ruthie... but there is NO WAY Ali just votes with us like that.. he has his allegiances. So I have to be subtle about this or I go gun blazing and be crackedt. I know we are merging tonight and it will be a new game and I'm excited. 

-this tribal is about to be messy af. timmy threw my name out to ali, bodhi and ruthie with the logic that "itd be entertaining" and that im well connected which is fair. but im also well connected so like...ali and bodhi both told me about it which is cute. so if everything goes the way timmy wants it to go, its gonna be ali, bodhi ruthie on me and me, cindi and collin on bodhi leaving timmy as the swing vote. HOWEVER the tribe wants timmy out unan. bodhi and i might throw votes on ruthie just to protect me in case of an idol but yeah. its gonna be a fun one.

-there has been talk of a 2-1-1-1-1-1 split for this vote. i really wanna do it but cindi said no :'(

-also if i find out through this whole mess that Bodhi was playing me, i think i will cry for the rest of my life

hello so confessional time. I've been really deflated and second guessing myself but I'm turning it around. timmy is going home tonight and love him but he is donezo. in other news: - cindi, collin and bodhi...? defo a group. - had a kill bill sirens moment thinking cindi was blindsiding me earlier because of a miscommunication related to the fact that there are two timmys in the cast - am now in an alliance with cindi collin and ruthie co loves of my life - I think I made rachael mad today NNN my bad but im prepared and READY for 13th

So... I guess I am not very well liked on my tribe based on touchy subjects. I kind of got that impression anyway since I have been borderline inactive with the move. Anyway Jess told me that there is a merge coming up according to the tree house or whatever so... I hope I dont fizzle out and get booted right at merge. Not sure who to connect with but!!! I am ready to swing if the other side needs me .

Episode #6 “This is going to be a bit of a wild game” -Keegan

-So that tribal went off perfectly! Three votes against ZACH and five votes against JAY, sending JAY home. Goal #2 accomplished. There will be no two time winner of this game besides me. The only issue now is the alliance I have with JESS and BIRCH being a bit at risk. We both told BIRCH we weren’t going to vote out ZACH with them so hopefully that alliance can be salvaged. I’d much rather CHIPS go next if we lose than BIRCH. So if that happens I’ll push for that. TIMMY and I are getting along really well now, so even though he’s an OG Annie, he’s basically one of the Jackaboys now. This is going to be a bit of a wild game if we manage to vote out pretty much only OG Annie’s first. Moving forward, I just need to make sure I’m not the best or worst at anything so my name stays out of everyone’s mouth. No point in drawing attention to myself at this point. 

-We actually wine the music video challenge! Holy Crap! Time to work on getting back in BIRCH’s good grace after voting out JAY (goal #2 accomplished) I can only hope that both RACHAEL and VI make it through this next tribal without any issues.

https://youtu.be/UolbDzsPoho

Another tribal on the one night a week that I’m at my boyfriends house and NO ONE IS TALKING, AHHH! I want to think I would be okay and people would be down to vote vi because she kind of offered but I don’t know. I also haven’t searched in a hot minute because I haven’t been able to access my spread sheet that I keep up with searches on... oops lol. But yeah no idea what is about to go on tonight but people usually start scrambling around sometime and if I’m going to be an option I’m going to try to weasel my way out of it. Also both videos were SO GOOD! I think our tribe should have won but the other was good. 

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H5EINQRUNpI

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s9IrR5GrX60

We really out here going to tribal when our video was way better. One point, but it be like that sometimes. Vi already said we should vote her out so that’s what I’m doing because idk what her situation is but if she wants to be voted out than I’ll do it so she’s not forced to stay. Honestly I was going to push for Vi to go anyways, not that I have the ability to push a name right now I think, but I would’ve tried.

hello so i've literally been awful at doing DRs this season. SHAME, SHAME on me. but so we had the music video challenge, and we... lost. I put SOOO much energy into that video so it sucked, a true friendship ended with Jill situation hehe. Vi is going home tonight because she wants to which is super sad because I love Vi, one of my org children right there. but yeah OG annie is likely mcfucked so im just holding onto a prayer and for jess-us christ to bring me to salvation come merge... but i'll probably be merge boot. BUT i love RUTHIE MY QUEEN. Ruthie/Cindi/Collin I LOVE, Bodhi is on thin ice but I once again stan (reluctantly), Timmy & Rachael are lovely. I kinda hope for a swap tonight, I wanna send some of those generic men on the other tribe OUTTTTTT. i feel like i kinda am running my current tribe, but im also a target the size of a hot air balloon so hopefully i can pitch myself as a shield, then idol when i need, then immunity challenge run out?

Episode #5 “I have nothing else to lose at this point” -Jay

-Did I even make a confessional last round??? AHH. Okay so I’m excited with our swap and I think we have a strong tribe but I’m REALLY sad (and not surprised) about Austin leaving. I think that I am on a very strong tribe and I can’t wait to see what happens with it going forward!  Like I can’t bad talk anyone, I like them all. 

-Can we talk about how proud I am of myself for remembering enough information to tell Cindi while she was answering questions? LOL, I had never been so nervous in my entire life so I'm really good that we pulled out a win!  Ali and Collin did such a good job retaining and relaying information.  It is nice to have another day off and I'm really curious to see what Ali decides to do and what the next challenge will be... I don't want this tribe to be broken up yet.   If I do end up swapping I really want to end up on a tribe with Chips.  We played in a game recently AGAINST one another and I'm dying to work with him, like actually work with him so oddly enough, I'm really hoping that he isn't going anywhere! I feel like they will probably go after Timmy or Jay. Right now the person on my tribe I feel like I can talk with the easiest about the game is Ali, he is probably my number one and I feel like I can tell him stuff without it getting passed around the entire tribe.  Do I completely trust him?? NO.  But I do trust him the most haha.  

-I SURVIVED AHHHHHH I GET TO STAY!!!!!!!!! Fuck that was so close and I feel so bad for throwing Austin under the bus but hey, I needed to stay in this game and keep my relationships strong. Plus, voting for Timmy would have looked really shitty to him, after the whole alliance thing. Anyways....Birch is here now! I love them sm and I really look forward to getting to work with them again. As far as I can tell, my best bet of staying is a group of me, Timmy, Zach, Birch and probably Chips. Chips and Zach were so helpful to me this whole day, reassuring me and giving me the information I needed to stay safe. I also called with Timmy just now and we're gonna be sticking together since it's our best option. Its really been a big turn from feeling comfortable in the tribe to fighting to stay, but I'm gonna stay fighting and hopefully make it out of this swap alive.

-I'm trying so fucking hard to stay in this game but right now it feels like a lost cause. Zach sold me out so badly last night and it feels like it's been impossible to recover. I'm trying to get me, Timmy, chips, and birch to all vote Zach but it's feeling less and less like it's actually happening and more like they're just saying it to keep me comfortable. No one is really responding to me anymore and it just feels like this is the end. The only little bit of hope I have is apparently Timmy has heard it's gonna be Birch instead? Seems like a long shot, I don't really want to see them leave, and I'm not gonna push for it. Birch is an indespencible ally and I will go to rocks for them if i have to. I have nothing else to lose at this point.

https://youtu.be/cYEa3LQE6N4

-Going into tonight's tribal, I think I'll be safe and have the votes of Timmy, Jess, Gavin, and Keegan. However, I feel like either Gavin and Keegan could flip (though unlikely) OR an idol could be used on Jay. I guess we shall see though. See y'all on the other side :)

-okay so the og annie tribe lost their marbles and got a 4-3-1? which well. in other news, i died in my other game and mr BODHI on this tribe got me out... very interesting. i was originally gonna punish him and get him out. and i still might. im unsure. he would deserve it tho he is so wishywashy that its infuriating. rn dream alliance is cindi/vi/ruthie/rachael (aka feminism + ali). bodhi was the best to vote for me on a game level and him needless treating me like crap makes that much easier.

-okay hello... so in a crazy plot twist... we won the storytime? i was really proud of my own contribution to the challenge, i passed on a LOTTA info to collin and he did so so good passing it, ruthie SNAPPED when she was so nervous and cindi brought it home. my game has been pretty smooth sailing, two easy votes and now im chilling on the most wholesome tribe ever. should i probably be throwing these challenges to save jay/timmy/austin... maybe... but am i going to... no. im not risking my game life when i see my entire current tribe as long term allies. ideal scenario is that group implodes and sets us up to pick up the pieces at merge... maybe? but also i think we are swapping again before merge, so just adding another challenge with the shakespeare challenge delays me getting jumped by the conglomerate of generic men, birch and jess. my closest ally right now is definitely ruthie, i LOVE ME SOME RUTHIE. vi, cindi, collin, timmy and rachael i also trust to some extent. bodhi i literally would get an indescribable seretonin rush from voting out... i would LOVE the opportunity to jump him in this game. am over that man. but im vibing having fun! still have an idol! and living my BEST life ha. im sorry my confessionals have been underwhelming but my game experience has been pretty smooth sailing so far ha.

-Spill the tea! *It's 1:11AM and I still miss Gavin.

-It's 8:59 PM and I still miss Gavin. prayer circle for Gavin <3

https://youtu.be/JSmJThHF-tU

So I did something. I am not allied with 5/7 people on my tribe. I have the "3 Canadians, oh and the 2 American Hosts" Alliance of me, Jess and Keegan. I am not quite as Loyal to that alliance as I am my new one. But I still don't want to vote them out. If I HAD to I would but i want to keep them. I really like both of them. I just made the "The Jolly Crew" Alliance which is Me, Jay, Timmy Z and Zach. I love this alliance. I vibe really well with Timmy and Jay. I am a little more iffy on Zach but he is really cool! I stan everyone! I guess out of the 2 people left I would prefer to vote out chips? He tends to be kinda inactive and I talk to him the least. IDK I'll go with the numbers, and my alliance.  

Another round, another immunity win. I’m just living life and am happy with how this game is going. Don’t really have to do much but making sure it won’t be me if we eventually do go to tribal.

We lost the challenge despite my best efforts. I think we’re voting Jay

I wish i had something of substance to say but this tribe refuses to go to tribal :/ i've found spots where TWO idols were in the past i think??? lions -> straight ahead -> ask for a tour, and vikings -> small boat -> get on the small boat

Soooooo... we lost the challenge again an' I got kidnapped by the gentlemen o' fortune. love that there fer me! then, to me surprise, right off o' the bat, jay threw me name out. so 'e be essentially dead to me now an' I expect 'im to be leavin' tonight. his blood ‘ill be on me hook after tonight. luckily fer me, I went around an' started spreadin' that there I 'ad 'eard 'e been sayin' me name—and 'e 'ad apparently only said it to zach. so now, the votes be between zach an' jay... an' I could not be 'appier as me name be off o' the table as farrr as I know. so bless to the sky to that there. I be expectin' jay to set sail tonight, but who knows. there been a lot o' talk o' 'im or birch 'avin' an idol or some kind o' advantage (which I believe birch may 'ave something), but I don’t think I be playin' me idol unless I catch wind o' somethin' strange 'appenin'... but me fingers be crossed an' I be goin' to 'ope fer the best.

2nd win and Ali is chucked to the tree house. Gotta do a music video

So the Annie curse strikes again............ wooo. This vote is a bit of a mess but honestly this all works out for me. Jay going ensures that I have Chips/Birch's loyalties moving forward and honestly the more OG Annie people that go the better. I hate the whole tribe lines situation but honestly I'm kind of stuck in it and I think I'm stuck in it for the long haul or at least for now. Zach going ensures I can climb the social rankings of the OG JACK tribe but it also might make me land on the bottom and it would be such a gamble. Do I trust Zach? no. Do I think everything Birch/Jay are saying about Zach is completely true..mhm BUT I need him just for a bit longer at this point. Also if Jay didn't say Gavin's name I probably would risk it and vote out Zach but at this point I can't not vote out someone who is saying my number 1's name... I want another swap because I'm bored of talking to the same people and I need to form some new bonds before merge. 

With me getting one vote last time, I really wanted to secure my spot within my team and was able to talk with Zach and Jess into making an alliance chat with us and Keegan/Gavin. Hopefully jay goes tonight but I’m not to sure. In the challenge bitch was terrible. We are a bit nervous they got an advantage or idol on exile which is why we are telling everyone the vote is birch tonight. Guess we will see how tonight goes

I'm doing lots of house stuff today but I hear there's a mess to be had with Jay versus Zach. I want to vote Zach because he has been acting head honcho but also... dont care too much. Im going to try to force a tie then get blindsided out of the game. Hype energy!

Episode #4: “I am definitely sobbing 24/7” -Gavin

-okay so dan left eight to one a real... how you say... zzz. and then birch activates the earthquake and gives us... the best swap... ever...? i say us i mean ME so anyway the swap gives me... my alliance members of vi/collin/ruthie which YES. we already are half the tribe eat it UP. then i have cindi who im close to, who im also in a second game with rn. which BAM, and also... og tribe majority mmmmm delicious. THEN from the other tribe i get. BODHI who im also close to outside of this, and am also in another game with rn (where im about to vote to keep him in so woo we love  building trust...?). then i have rachael who is a sweetheart and TIMMY. ONE OF MY OLDEST ORG FRIENDS HELLOOO. this swap is kind of... too... good? all the people i'd wanna vote out are on the other tribe so the MO rn is to just sweep challenges ideally? thats the agenda. because rn the ones i want gone are birch/keegan/zachary/gavin... all of whom are on the other tribe. so we better get to winning even tho it might be bad for austin/jay if we do (but maybe timmy would go first idek)

-okay so... we just won jeopardy? that challenge truly had me weighing up and considering literally fighting a child because that zach is half child prodigy, half robot he was literally bodying the challenges... BUT THEN WE WON ASFJDKSAL. we literally just went for broke on the final jeopardy and it came THROUGH. im so so happy because i want all of my swap tribe at merge, they are all people i want to stick around so even one tribal would be a disaster. i think timmy might unfortunately be screwed just because jay/austin are really connected. also the annie tribe is probably gonna lose... another og tribe member. but HONESTLY what can you do. this is good for my longterm survival anyway hopefully they turn inwards and get rid of one of OG Jack even though its probably unlikely KJFLSAD.

-well, to start out, i am sorry this is later than anticipated. however, what matters is that i am doing it now... right? ANYWAYS... onto the confessional. i think the main thing i want to talk about this round, is the brilliant move i orchestrated during that challenge that gave us the win... and the fact that i got NO CREDIT FOR IT. OKAY Y'ALL... I SEE YOU. but anyways, i think it is clear that i am basically a mastermind. however, what really matters is that we won... so GO TEAM (me)! following the challenge this round i was added into an alliance chat planned by keegan and zach with rachael and myself. so, when jess wasn't included, i obviously had to go talk to her and subtly expose that alliance... and funnily enough, keegan added jess to alliance with birch! FUNNY. so, we basically figured out that keegan is trying to play everyone and anyone he can--which will definitely be useful information going forward. overall this round, i think i really strengthened some key bonds with birch and rachael specifically. i was on call with rachael for 5 hours straight and talked about personal things with birch for about an hour. so, i honestly feel pretty good going forward. and on the bright-side, if things start to look like they're going south, i always have that idol in my back pocket. until next time... xoxo, gossip girl.

-well, to no ones surprise... we swapped. AND I WAS SEPARATED FROM MY RACHAEL. i’m not crying... (jk, i am definitely sobbing 24/7). but on the bright side, i at least have jess with me. unfortunately due to zachs poor math skills, we lost the challenge that should have been an easy win for us given our lead going into the final jeopardy... but gavin is not bitter. so, unfortunately, we have to go to tribal with a brand new tribe. on the bright side, it seems to be looking in OG jack’s favor numbers wise, so i don’t particularly feel like i am in danger. however, you never know what could happen at tribal council. so, if worse comes to worse, i will have my idol ready to play—but i am hoping it doesn’t come to that. it appears as though austin or jay will be leaving—which is perfectly fine with me (even if i want keegan to go sooner rather than later, it’s best not to make any unnecessary waves right now. so i will continue to let him become a bigger target and try to take charge and snake as he does... and we will go from there.

-I....am upset. You put me on a tribe with little cutie Gavin and then RIPPED HIM AWAY. I am beyond upset. I am outraged. SWAP US BACK COWARDS. Can't wait for the next earthquake to hit so we can be reunited. I miss him so much. He still sends me tiktoks though so thats cute. we are watching Hamilton together on Friday and I am so excited.

-It’s 1:02PM and I still miss Gavin.

-It’s 5:14 pm and I still miss Gavin. Hope he doesn’t go home, but I won immunity ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

So I forced a swap. yay! I also exiled myself, mainly to keep myself safe cause fuck getting voted out, Am I right? So I don't really have anything to report on. uhhhh, yeah. Go everyone!! 

-When your tribe mates don't listen to your wager advice and you lose the challenge :))))))))))))))))))))))))

-So a swap happened so that's fun.... I can't even lie I  have swap PTSD from my last Survivor. I was swapped into the minority, rocked myself out with an idol for a souvenir. THAT BEING SAID... This swap worked out for me! I think? At least for now? If I didn't have Gavin with me I'd be extremely worried but because I do believe he has an "in" with the bro's Keegan/Zach aka: a duo... I'll at least know if they are up to some shady shit. I also got Chips! SO PARTY. I'm really thankful we got a swap because I don't know if I would have survived a couple of votes on my previous tribe. I wasn't necessarily "in" with people. So a swap was welcomed but I was also scared shitless. This swap has really opened the door for me/Zach? I don't trust him the slightest BUT at least we have some sort of dialogue right now compared to the crickets we were exchanging on OG JACK. This swap also broke up the "alliance" of Zach, Rachael, Keegan...and Gavin. So now they'll need to find a replacement Rachael and I know I'm not as pretty as Rachael but maybe I'll fill the female quota in that alliance? Chips has opened up a LOT to me so far. We've exchanged idol searches but he feels on the bottom of that "alliance" and I don't blame him. I just don't know where we go from here after this vote. He flips? to Jay? Maybe a Jay/Chips/Keegan/Zach majority? He wants me to flip to a Chips/Jay/Timmy/Majority? I have no idea. We also get Birch next round! I do enjoy Birch so much but that's a number for Keegan and that makes me un-easy. Keegan is easily my biggest threat so far. Next round could potentially be a 6.vs. 2 majority and it can't be THAT simple. I'm going to focus on winning... I guess? I'm really enjoying Timmy so far even though he's given me a few red flags or I'm being lied to hardcore. Austin told me he had a vote reveal however, why would Timmy tell someone who he has said "treated him badly" about a power? So either Timmy is playing me or Austin is playing me. Either way they both can go?! Timmy gives me such weird vibes. I want to trust him but I also think he's going to be a super cut-throat player down the line and that SCARES ME.

Ok.....with the swap that happened and us losing immunity I really feel my game is over. Which really sucks bc i wanna work with ppl like keegan jess jay chips and zach but I dont feel most of those ppl wanna work with me.  I'm not gonna give up tho . I'm gonna try talking and making deals and doing what I can to save myself.  It's not over til tribal and I have plenty of time. Pleaseeeee atomic gods let me make it through this one vote 

Me never remember what my last confessional was about? The title of my autobiography. So, we swapped which is super unfortunate but the tribe I got swapped into has a majority OG Jack members. JESS, ZACH, GAVIN, CHIPS and myself against JAY, TIMMY Z and AUSTIN. And then we lose the challenge because math is apparently impossible? Like ZACH either threw the challenge on purpose or he’s just the worst person at math. Either way, we’re going to tribal tonight. The current plan is to stay tribe strong and vote out an OG Annie which is fine by me. JAY is saying he wants to work with me because we’re both previous winners which is a good point. But I’ve got some solid alliances already and I don’t want to mess those up this early into the game. As far as I can tell right now, the plan is to split votes between JAY and AUSTIN with AUSTIN being the primary target since he’s pretty bad at challenges and isn’t likely to work with us down the line. TIMMY apparently spilled the beans about a six person alliance that didn’t include himself or CINDI, so we’re trying to keep him safe and pull him in as a number for the future. Who knows what will happen though. There’s idols to worry about which is why we’re trying to split the vote. 

This tribe swap makes me so happy because I vibe with these people so much better and it gives me a new chance in this game to fix my activity level. On top of that, we are safe!!! Another round of not having to go to tribal is a good round for me. Who knows why the Annie tribe only wagered $3,000 because that made absolutely no sense but I’m not complaining. Overall, A+ round!

So this round, i find myself swapped into a tribe of people that are so much better then my old tribe. I was on the outs of that 6 person alliance and I am sure I would have been the next to go for sure. I get a really good vibe off of zach and jess, plus gavin and keegan are cool too. Not to sure about Chips but I have to put my trust in these people for the mean time. As for the challenge, we lost and i knew I was going to vote with the old Jack tribe. We plan on splitting the votes 3 vs 3 with austin and jay voting whoever. Of course in true them style, the moment they found out it was them, they threw me under the bus immediately. Hopefully everything goes as planned tonight and Austin goes home, if not it is going to be me. I have had good convos with people tho and hope that can get me through this tribe.

Well this swap completely sucks. In the complete minority, someone sold out the alliance to Timmy so I doubt he trusts me anymore. I just tried to be honest with him so he'd see me in a better light and I hope it worked. Beyond that, we lost the challenge and I think my head is on the chopping block. Earlier today Chips came and told me that he's pretty sure the votes are coming down on me and they're gonna tell me Austin to fake me out. And you know, that's probably true because Zach, Keegan, and Gavin have all told me it's Austin. What troubles me is that Chips doesn't seem to have a plan otherwise even though it seems like he wants to do something else. So once Zach told me it's Austin, I had more of a chat with him. He really seems to not want me to go anywhere, which is hard not to believe. Either he's telling me the truth or he's a fantastic liar. Same with Keegan, even though I think it's in both of our best interests to work together going forward. At this point it's clear that it's gonna split between Austin and myself so i worry if I don't vote Austin then I'm just automatically out. Shits really hard in the game right now and all I want is to survive another day.

I am finally not at the bottom. My original tribe has minority and I have prior existing relationships with 2/3 of the og Jack tribe. Plus I have bodhi, whom I absolutely love, on my tribe. I am happy.

Episode #3: “Like holy shit. I DID THAT!” -Birch

-Holy shit I did a thing!!! So this challenge was a little game of attack and defend. We found that an Uppercase i looks the same as a lowercase L (I vs l) sooo, I had to go cause my mom wanted the wifi off, so I sent 2 messages (which got me out) but I replaced an i with an L and why both defended themselves which got 2 people out (Timmy Z and Ali) left only Cindi, who promptly quit I think it was said that should couldn’t do the comp leading into tomorrow. So then my tribe won immunity. But like holy shit. I DID THAT!! I’m convinced my iconic shit only comes out when Lukas and Olivia host me. ILY both of them!!! I also got sent to the tree house. So now I have to chose what looks like a swap, music videos, and honestly idk what the last one is. It has to do with Alexander Graham Bell, or maybe a game of telephone? 

-Soooooo, I have to exile someone. I kinda feel like going from a weird standpoint I want to exile myself cause then I am safe, and I don’t have to worry about a challenge, but on the other hand I could keep myself in just incase there is the possibility of a swap, so I can help my tribe and exile someone else who I want to keep safe. But also trust can only go so far, and I have trust issues. If I exile myself I could fuck myself over. I’m also indecisive so this is fun. I need to look at the cast and think who is best to exile. Maybe someone I want to work with in the future. Keep them safe, and pray to the gods that I stay safe. 

-so... czern went without a hitch. he voted vi super randomly, so i kind of assume he was told he was going. but i truly do not care, he went home so im vibing. and then we had... that challenge. and immediately it was kind of clear we were losing JKLFDSA, it was kind of a disaster. we had an immmediate, early numbers disadvantage and that gave the Jack tribe wiggle room to try every trick in the book to psych us out. I was the first person to survive being jumped by them from my tribe (ilivedbitch.jpg), but also we tried SO much. Someone needs to call Nev, because the Annie tribe TRULY said time to catfish. We did the lowercase L thing, we tried EVERYTHING but it was a struggle. Credit to Birch for getting Me/Timmy out simultaneously, that was super impressive. But we are back at tribal AGAIN. and its starting to get dicey because... there isn't anyone i actually want to vote out on this tribe. Like I assume Dan is going to go this time, because he was gone FIRST in the challenge and is very quiet...? But then we are probably gonna swap at 16, which is scary because a) i don't want us to lose again and go into a swap with a MEGA numbers disadvantage b) who else am i gonna vote? timmy? it gets DICEY. so hopefully dan goes and we do an exile swap... because otherwise it gets tetchy. im getting sus with austin too, king is doing a lot and im gonna keep tabs on it. im also super afraid of the other tribe, that conglomerate of keegan/zach/birch is super scary to me. im gonna get bodied by a network of pre-existing connections and i am not looking forward to it

-https://youtu.be/Yzwlq1M7RzI

-https://youtu.be/taNWED3L7pM

We lost again. Dan really fucked up and he’s gotta go now since he’s messed up two out of two rounds we lost. Can’t really save him now

minding my business waking up to an alliance with some freaking cuties. me, zach, gavin and keegan??? i could get on board with that. lets not swap or do anything stupid to mess this up thank YOU.

hi nothing has happened and i would love to tell you more :/

Hello hello! After a busy few days I'm finally home and I've been having more chances to really get to know my tribemates better. Cindi is an absolute queen and we've talked about cooking and our siblings and I think we really vibe. Timmy and I talked a little strategy and he seems to really like me. Both of them aren't in my alliance soooo things might have to change sooner rather than later if we have to go to a third tribal. I've been talking a lot with Ali, Collin, and Austin too! Austin actually started asking me stuff about furries tonight, which I'm happy to talk about, but it is a little weird to be a representative of all furries LOL. I think as of now the best choice for me is to vote for Dan, I haven't really connected with him at all. I've been hearing his name from some others too. So for now my strategy is to play the social game and keep positive. I AM a former winner after all, even if I don't feel my win was too impressive, people will use that against me if I try to push an agenda this early on.

I think we are all voting for Dan but I haven’t been around much today and also... my DMs are a little dry! I’m trying to catch up with everyone right now though. I really like Cindi and wish I was in an alliance with her D: Also I cannot keep my eyes open at the moment. I’ve had a crazy few days and I’m just ready to sleep! 

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CAO2hLWr9oI&feature=youtu.be

I don’t remember what the last confessional I made was. But we won the challenge thanks to some brilliant strategizing. And then CINDI just yeeted herself from the game. I now have an alliance with RACHAEL, ZACH and GAVIN. Which, in addition to my alliance of JESS and BIRCH, means I’m solid with 5 of the 8 other members in my tribe. Gotta love that.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JSZ1JG5VHgc&feature=youtu.be

Do I have any idea what is actually happening in this game. Absolutely not!! I need to pick up the pace and message more people and I know that is on me. I want to be here and play hard and will work better on doing so.

So this round, I made an official chat with Collin and Cindi. Good news is, that will help with idol hunt guessing and such. We already ruled out that dolphins is a no go, and a few other dead end paths. I also have the light advantage which I am super excited about but nervous on when to use. With the vote this round, i find out there is a 6 person alliance chat of everyone except for myself, cindi, and Dan. Unfortunately this round there is nothing we can do to turn that tide, but next round when it is 8 of us, we only need 1 person to flip over to cindi and I plus Collin (assuming we are both still here) to make that vote go through. I know Dan is voting for me this round and I will be voting for him. He is HORRIBLE in challenges. He has done the worst in all three of the challenges so far, and honestly its his time to go. He should have gone last round to be honest but for some reason the tribe wanted Czear or whatever. Hoping for the best tonight I guess.

https://youtu.be/xxvHRGygG0g

OKAY I THINK I AM NOT AS FUCKED AS PREVIOUSLY EXPECTED. Like, I'm not GOOOOOOD, but I do have people. Like, Austin does have my back and we're gonna do another easy vote but he is agreeing that after this easy vote if we don't swap we need to shake things up which I am 100% in agreement with. Like, I can not stay at the bottom. I am not a bottom. I don't do underdog stories. I am not an underdog. Well, I am right now but I DO NOT ENJOY IT. I like Timmy but he is paranoid and as someone who gets to paranoid I do not need it. Like, he is going before me if power structure does not shake up, so he has his place, but PLEASE STOP REMINDING ME THAT I AM FUCKED I KNOW JESUS I DON'T DO WELL WHEN I'M PARANOID SO I GOTTA STAY CALM.

-Fun fact, I have a telescope up in the attic but I'm too lazy and it is too hot... if we lose and could have won with 5 more points I am going to feel so guilty SLFJSLDFJ. Also I think my nephew has the magic tree house books at his house because I turned my house UPSIDE DOWN for those things... oh well.  It is almost time for results and I guess that we will just see what happens!

- ALSO, Jay and I are definitely going to work together to figure out a vote and keep each other safe this round.  We think that MAYYYYBE we could pull some numbers together for an alliance or at least get the name of someone else to circulate if we lose. :D I guess right now I am closest to him.  I've definitely talked the most with him, Austin and Ali.  Cindi and I haven't talked so much but when we do it is really long messages! I REALLY like her and I hope we can work together.

I really rolled around on the floor like an idiot for 10 points to win a challenge by 370 points

Episode 1: “Why is my tribe all these musty men and Ruthie?” -Ali

-I'm writing this pre-cast reveal and I'm scared shitless. Dear future Jess, Don't puke before tribals because of anxiety. Don't let the m*n tell you what to do. Don't get in your head and trust your gut. Sincerely, Pre-Cast Reveal Jess.

- Now where do I begin.... It's day 2? I believe.... in this game and I've already spiralled and showed the signs of a future crackhead. In all seriousness though, I've calmed down and the initial shock of cast reveal has worn off. I was a bit shook seeing some of the people in this cast playing. I've literally hosted a large chunk of these people so I REALLY HOPE NONE OF THAT COMES TO BITE ME IN THE ASS (I don't think it will). I hope people realize I wasn't really paying close attention to their games when hosting.. and if I was... I have the memory of a pebble. I'm sure none of that will have an impact on anyone besides maybe Ali. BUT ALI IF YOU ARE READING THIS.. DAY 2 JESS REALLY WANTS TO WORK WITH YOU! Now lets talk about my tribe: - We got Rachael/Zach who are super close or at least have some sort of connection through his sister. - We got Birch/Keegan regardless of whatever they are pushing about doubts with each other I can see them cleaning that slat in the name of numbers. - Me and Gavin because I'm the only one he knows in this game. - Possibly me/Timmy if he wants to work with me. - Possibly me/Chips hoping he remembers I did show how blindly loyal I was to him the last game we were in.... - Bodhi might be in with people like Zach (who he was hosting) and Rachael. - John honestly... I have no idea about. He's such a wild card for me. My overall thought process and game plan right now is... BLUID THOSE RELATIONSHIPS! I think I proved with my challenge performance I am an asset to this tribe but I want to show people I can be an asset to them. I can see us swapping at 16 so I'm going to be around this tribe for a bit so I need people to want me around. So far I'm getting along with Keegan he seems like a cool cat. I'm also aware he's probably a cool cat in everyone's eyes but for right now.. I really like him! Birch is definitely a social beast. From what I remembered they were an extremely social player in the season I hosted them but they are very transparent with their information which does scare me. For the time being though, I'll attempt to work my magic with them and build that trust so the information spills to me.. Rachael is a queen. I really want to work with her because I do see similarities between our playing style which is something I always gravitate towards in games. I'm naive and I do know she has other people higher up on that trust-ladder based off of initial relationships but I do hope to somehow climb that. Although I do know she will be a power play in this game, I know I'm going to need other power players around me to ensure there is a target ahead of me. She also brings connections which typically brings in information. So rather than be a crackhead and go for her (which is what cast reveal night Jess thought about) I'm going to try and work with her. Zach.. honestly, I don't know how much I have in common with a teenage boy so that might be a road block between us. He is one of those key-relationships I hope to build off of through Rachael. I will also die if Rachael/Zach aren't that close and I'm just rambling shit right now. Gavin is one of my FIRST ORG friends and I'm SO HAPPY TO SEE HIM PLAYING THIS GAME. I don't think anyone right now knows we are close but I'm not afraid to cut him if it means I go further in this game. I'm not really sure about my tribes chances for this first immunity challenge. Everyone aside for a few people on this tribe seem like they have their shit together in this challenge. I know the "movie trivia" crew snapped hard and my back hurts from carrying my tribe but.... our chances of winning rely on Timmy (who is on vacation), Gavin who is probably working or something, and Bodhi who is hosting currently. So to say I'm confident.... would be a giant ass lie. I'm excited for the idol search to open up SO BAD.

-Cast is revealed and game starts in a half hour. I’m feeling excited. I hope I do better in this season than the game I did last, 17th. Ughhhhhh, grosss

- I’m having fun doing the quotes, it’s interesting. I feel like I’m getting along well with everyone. I’m trying to talk to them all and interact. If I’m amusing they won’t get rid of me. Right? Right? Somebody tell me I’m right

-Okay tea time!  I'm really excited. I had to add A LOT of people I have never talked to before and I always like doing that because I LOOOOVE playing with people that don't know how I play and also getting to know clean people and starting with a clean slate! The only people I had added on my tribe are Jay and Ali and I LIKE that!   I'm excited to talk to people, scope everyone out a little and see what I need to do.  This game and the theming is SO CUTE and I can't wait to see what all happens next!

- https://youtu.be/MY-s5k1n7sI

why is my tribe all these musty men and ruthie what did i do to deserve this.

https://youtu.be/LPxSC_ZjZIc

https://youtu.be/ojw9T8GsbaA

-That 36 person cast twist not being real...big disappointment, I was hoping for a huge mess where someone cries. But 20 people, good size. My tribe seems like good people so this should be exciting.

- So we lost the first immunity challenge. Seems like it’s unanimous for John to go. Works for me as he is who I wanted out when I woke up this morning since we hadn’t spoken. He keeps saying he wants someone who was weak in the challenge out and didn’t tell me a name but told Rachel, Bodhi. Funny thing is, John did worse in his challenge than anyone in the quotes group so therefore his own logic can be used against him.

-AHHHHHHHHHHH MY PEOPLE ARE HERE I DON"T KNOW WHO I WANNA WORK WITH. There is king ali, my bae Austin, bestie jay, and really old time friend Collin in this one tribe. I'm not even counting people on the other tribe. I'm gonna lose so hard. I'm crying tho

-When I was meeting my tribe for the first time I was thinking that we have a very good group here. I'm glad to see Bodhi again cuz I haven't seen him since Trinity: P&P a few months ago. I think that with the additions of Birch and Keegan to our tribe I think we're gonna win some challenges. So I'm hoping for the best and not the worst for this team.

- So we're all waiting for the results of the 1st challenge, and I'm feeling a little nervous that my tribe may lose, but I'm hoping that we do win because I want this season to start off on a good note for my tribe. I'm just hoping that we pull this off and not blow this.

-the way i was offered a final 2 within minutes of joining the tribe chat. hopefully this ages well and you get to see me and bodhi succeed :)

- John is too damn messy and has got to go. PERIODT.

https://youtu.be/L1-ZBhnUQ7U

-I love my Tribe!! I'm super excited to play with Keegan and Timmy again! I'm trying to get closer with everyone else since I haven't played with them before. I'm also kinda nervous for the challenge. I have a weird taste in music so we will see how this goes. I really hope I'm not first boot. I haven't had good placements in my last couple of games, so I'm hoping for better this time! This cast is iconic.

-So my mom got my drunk before the challenge and then tried guilting me into not doing the challenge. we flopped anyway. we are currently pulling ahead in the Movie challenge but it's still early so idk. I really hope we can get the next 2 challenges. I don't wanna be first boot.  

- Ahoy matey! me got cursed t' only talk like a pirate in thar tribe chats n' me alliance chat. So me’m doing dis confession like a pirate. So anyway. me’m in a alliance Wit' Keegan n' Jess. As far as me know our jolly crew only verily talked t' each other. So dis works out. Our jolly crew also lost which SUCKS. me verily hope me’m nay first boot. me might sail after John. All me conversations wit' him be painful. So that’s fun. me like all hands so dis will hard. But let’s see what happens! Birch signing off.

Kinda bummed the movie challenge didn’t go so well hope we don’t have to go to tribal this early

-Hello hello! I am SO happy to be back in atomic Survivor! I feel like things are off to a really nice start and I'm hoping that will continue. For now I'll do a little assessment of my tribe before we find out results for the first challenge. Ali - I've seen him around in the community a lot for years, im pretty sure I was around when he played his first game. But I don't remember if I've ever had the chance to actually play WITH him. He's such a nice guy I've loved talking with him so far Austin - Lmao the funny thing is I actually talked to him for the first time ever like a week ago. A real lucky break that he and I were both part of this casting twist. We immediately started talking and agreed to look out for each other. Cindi - this is my first time meeting her ever! She seems really rad and we've just been talking about life and tattoos and shit lmao. I can definitely see myself working with her in the future. Collin - y'all I LOVE Collin. I just played with him in Mesopotamia, and even though he voted me out I never had any bitterness towards him cause he's just that nice. He's definitely been the person I've talked to the most so far. We have a lot in common and I really want to trust him. But I am still a bit wary bc of Mesopotamia. Czern - I don't really have a read on him yet. Haven't spoken to him too much. Dan - Same as Czern but I haven't spoken to Dan at all Vi - Vi is such a ray of sunshine, I've loved her ever since I met her in Tashirojima. In fact my biggest mistake in that game IMO was voting her out. I'm 100% working with her this time. Ruthie - It's been so long since I've talked to Ruthie and I'm so glad that this game gives me the chance to reconnect with her. An absolute legend and one of the nicest people I've ever met. I haven't talked strategy with her yet but that'll come soon lol Timmy - Yo he DESTROYED that music challenge and I'm super grateful for that. I've talked to him a little bit and he's pretty nice but I don't really have any further opinions on him lol

- Reallllly glad we didn't have to go to tribal tonight. I've been really busy today so it would've been a really rough time. But instead I got to enjoy my day, but of course I socialized with my tribe. I feel really close with Collin, Ali, and Ruthie. Granted those are relationships that started outside of this game, but they're relationships nonetheless. I really vibe with Austin too, even though I talk to him a little less, we're bonded through that opening twist. And the best thing is Austin mentioned vibing with all those people + Vi (who's great as well, I just haven't talked any strategy with her yet) so I smell an alliance starting sometime soon. I just feel really well about the start of this game and im hoping it can last.

-First confessional of the season! I debated making a video but then I realized that's a lore more work and harder for me to have actual organized thoughts. Going back to the start of the game: I know RACHAEL, BIRCH, CHIPS, JAY, VI, CINDI, DAN and RUTHIE. The only person I don't know anything about is CZERN. So I've got a pretty stacked cast of people I can potentially work with moving forward. But I currently have three goals for this season: 1. Make the merge or swap so I can play with VI. Even if we don't work together, I'd love to play with her! She rules! 2. Make sure JAY gets voted out before myself. As a fellow winner, THERE CAN BE ONLY ONE. 3. Make sure DAN gets voted out before myself. He's a sneaky snake and I won't ever trust him after Nova Scotia. First off, I'm in an awesome alliance with BIRCH and JESS. It's only three people so it's not a clear majority but it's a good start. We formed this literally 10 minutes after the challenge had ended. Speaking of the challenge, it was a fun challenge but we did lose. However, JESS, RACHAEL, CHIPS and myself were the only ones who won our portion of the challenge, so I've been subtly hinting that I wouldn't feel right if any of us were voted out. GAVIN told me that TIMMY and BODHI didn't contribute much of anything to their part of the challenge, so that's a possible decision when it comes to this tribal. However, JOHN has been very difficult to have a conversation with and I've been told that him and BODHI won't vote for each other. So right now it's just working with JESS and BIRCH to determine what the best option is moving forward. I'm thinking I can get RACHAEL, ZACH and GAVIN on board with whatever we decide. Tune in later for some more thoughts.

-I wanna say it’s be super eventful but not really. Just a few small things: CHIPS has been telling everyone everything. He told JOHN he was the vote. He told JESS about the GAVIN thing. He needs to learn to keep things to himself if he doesn’t want to be gone next. JOHN tried throwing ZACH under the bus for not being good in challenges. I had a call with BODHI and apparently ZACH is a comp beast. So that’s not happening. If everything is as planned JOHN should be the unanimous vote. I might throw a stray vote on CHIPS just in case of an idol play but I’m undecided.

So this round I got super close with Austin and Collin, and close with cindi, and okay close with everyone else. I killed it in the music challenge because I  did not feel confident I wouldn’t go home if we lost. I need to tighten my bonds and hopefully make a solid group before the next round. I have no real targets atm but Ruthie and I have yet to speak so that’s awkward. I kinda wish I was on the other tribe because I feel like I’d vibe with them better. I had to make sure I was the first to go into the treehouse because I wanted to be open and transparent about what happens in there and make sure that nobody else got to go in and change what actually happens. I’m very excited for the next few rounds tho!

Okay so first round is going pretty good so far . I cant believe they put me on a tribe with vi which is amazing bc ride or die right there. I know ali vi collins and jay are def ppl I wanna work with in this game . I mean my whole tribe is great . Dan I know is a wild card and he seems like he wants to work together but I'm not sure if I can fully trust him since he did vote me out last seasons with telling me a damn thing . Cindi was almost in my duplicity season I'm on production for so I know her a bit as well. I know she would probs go with Rachael at a swap or merge which is dangerous .THANK GOD we won the first immunity and I dont have two sorry about a vote bc if I'm honest it would be HARD to decide on a name . Let's see what happens tho I'm ready to play and ready to win

Honestly it seems pretty slow starting. Just working on getting to know the tribe at this point. I really like Collin and Ali but beyond that I'm not getting like amazing vibes from the others. I'm not getting bad vibes either though, just neutral positive vibes if that makes sense

okay, so i have been focusing on getting to know my tribe-mates the past few days because in this game, connections are your lifeline. but, i also didn't want to come off too strong and be perceived as "too social" from the get-go *cough* keegan the snake *cough*. so, i laid back, talked to people (some more than others), and tried to focus on winning immunity. unfortunately, when immunity slipped through our fingers, i quickly got to work socializing and making sure i wasn't the one to be blamed for our loss in our challenge. i felt that i contributed a lot and tried to start discussions and debate about our quotes, and felt as though i didn't get much back from my team. so, i made sure that people knew my group wasn't very communicative and had they communicated more, we could have totally won. i didn't push for a name to begin the round, but i did make sure to let people know who i hadn't talked to in hopes of getting one of their names on the chopping block this round. i made sure to reach out to everyone (even those who didn't reach out to me or seem invested in the game, nor our conversations) because i don't want someone to spread my name as a result. then, it seemed to narrow down to john and timmy. also, it was obviously leaning towards john leaving this round. however, it was not until about a few hours before day change that john had FINALLY heard that his name was going around due to the fact that it was TRULY IMPOSSIBLE TO TALK TO HIM. funnily enough, this information came directly from chips--someone who i haven't talked to much. thankfully for me, john decided to tell almost everyone exactly what chips had said and no one was pleased to hear that. so, i worked my magic and made sure people were upset that chips tried to throw us all under the bus--because i need to make sure there is a target for next round that isn't me... DUH! later, i asked john what he wanted to do, and he sat there completely clueless. i was completely dumbfounded at his reluctance to say a name when his ass was CLEARLY on the line. eventually, i worked a name out of him, and he said bodhi (who was the only one who wanted to keep him earlier today)... so i obviously went right to bodhi and made sure he knew so i could build some trust with him going forward in this game since talking to john literally made me lose brain cells by the minute, i wanted to make sure he was the one leaving tonight. so, i am hoping everything goes according to plan at tribal tonight, but as long as i don't leave, i am golden with whatever. until next time... xoxo, gossip girl

So basically I'm not in town right now... and IbhopenI can trust people not to vote me until I get back and am less busy. I really bombed the challenge by getting 0 points for my tribe but we won that part... because the other people carried. Good stuff. Anyway we are voting John because he doesn't communicate well and has kind of mansplained the potential different vote? If its true then woohoo I got another round. Also! I got am advantage from idol hunt and thats nifty.
