Episode #9: “Beggars can't be choosers and I'm already on my knees” - Jack

Ok well never mind Drew just got booted which NOBODY TOLD ME ABOUT??? Like if Matt had gone it'd have been one thing because I would've heard at least the name of the person who actually went, people might've been honest for once. But noooooooo let's create this Drew concoction and once again leave Jack out of a vote! I mean, would I have voted Drew out? I don't know, probably not. But still it's the principle. Was I kept safe? Yes, but another ally and former Cyrena left. My numbers keep dwindling and I am scraping the bottom of the barrel here.

So this round I want Mitch gone. I don't trust him too much, as I know he isn't as close to Bryce as I am. Which scares me cause Bryce is my ally right now. I know me and Mitch are in this 8 person alliance, but that shit means NOTHING to me. As I never said i wanted to be in it. So Ya FUCK THAT. Time for me to push mitch this round.

Drew is out but I decided to be honest about it with Michael. Ill talk with Chloe today and try and do some chatting with Jack too but beside that I usve hope for a few tribals wooo! Or maybe its time to die, we'll see ha

I’m already over this game and it’s final fucking 12. I shouldn’t have played I should’ve just hosted this is all my worst orgs on fucking steroids because everyone’s too busy fetishizing this anti-Cyrena agenda. I don’t care if it’s not a thing, there’s no reason to target Matt and I and leave us out of votes when we have 0 agency and are literally 2 votes up for grabs. But nobody gives a flying fuck about logical gameplay and like fine, be a moron, and have fun getting blindsided at 9th when all the easy votes are gone and you were too busy standing around with your dick in your hand to put yourself in a better position. Fuck this season and fuck this cast

Today's to do list:

Call Jared Yell at Jared Tell Jared he's not beating his Wakea placement Hang up Win immunity Cry myself to sleep

________________________________________________________________

"yikes, you’ve been shot!" is a common theme for me this season

Watching the immunity was pretty telling I'd say, as random as it was. Having it said, it's been down to Loris, Zach, and Bryce for hours now. THE smart thing is to give Bryce immunity and up his threat level, but alas we gotta get a show out of it lol.

So uh.... forget everything I said about Jared I guess because he wants to work with me? Lmao. Idk man like, can I really trust anyone besides Michael and Matt at this point? Not really, but Jared is the ONLY other person to legitimately give me a lifeline here (I don't count Mitch/Chris or any of the BS Zach/Bryce are giving me) so I have to take it, find some footing, figure out if I can actually get through this early merge here. I'm keeping my head down unlike my past games and I'm letting the game come to me. Beggars can't be choosers and I'm already on my knees

youtube

I FOUND AN IDOL!! I cant say I thought this would happen but I am so happy that it did! I just hope I can do right by this immunity idol! I got help out of Stephen so I am just so thankful for that!!

________________________________________________________________

So I have this feeling things are not going to go the way I wish so. Rhys is gathering troops to get Mitch out and he's already gone to Bryce who told me and Zach, and Jared. How does he have numbers? BECAUSE HE HAS FLIPPED. We might as well should've had Kori in the chats because both have said the same thing as far as contributions go

________________________________________________________________

Now I am in a pickle, not knowing if Jared/Bryce/Zach all want to flip after they wnet on a call together. Its a little concerning not gonna lie. What makes this worse is that like we are putting ourselves in a position where we HAVE to do play certain way. I dont want to be 6-5 I want to have cushion and Rhys is doing exactly what I figured he would be doing just early. I need to figure out exactly how willing the others are for this before its too late

So last tribal was a little bit of a rough one and the day after wasn’t too great either I just felt drained the entire day but I didn’t sign up for all stars to lose after being blindsided I came to win and I need to do whatever I can to get that fighting spirit back. I’m not out of this yet and hopefully the relationships I’ve built plus the killshot results mean that we can get a nice little blindside going.

What’s the German word for when people ask you if you’ve heard anything about the vote knowing full well you haven’t been privy to any information all merge?

________________________________________________________________

Bryce telling me Mitch’s name??? 8.5 hours before tribal??? You really do love to see it. Michael told me Jared told him Mitch as well, so I’ll probably hear from Jared soon. This is beautiful stuff I could give less of a fuck about Mitch going. Everything’s coming up Millhouse!

These bitches are conspiring against me.

So, Rhys has been feeling antsy and decided he wants to flip on our 8. Tbh it's probably a smart move for him since he's the least incorporated of the 8 and would likely get 8th if my understanding of the situation is anything to go by. Soooo I can't exactly blame him, but, that's not all.

Bryce is ALSO wanting to flip. It seems so early for a well-connected member of the alliance to want to do something like that, so I imagine it's because he wants to play the middle between this group and the 4 outside of it. Rhys and Bryce may have leaked the alliance already, and, if they did that, then they also probably leaked how everyone was pretending Matt was the target at the last vote.

This group seems to be planning to vote Mitch out tonight, which isssssss bad. Very bad. Especially bad for me since he is one of my closest allies.

Chris found an idol, though, and I'm really hoping we can save it for late-game. There's still a chance this vote can turn around though. That's what I'm hoping for.

youtube

IM BEING DUMB IDK WHAT TO DO UGH I WANT MITCH OUT HTIS ISNT SMART THIS ISNT LIKE ITS NOT I KNOW THAT BUT IM DOING IT ANYWAY THIS IS A MISTAKE I KNOW IT IS JFAKDHK BUT IDK HOW TO PLAY THIS GAME BC I THINK PPL SAY IM A THREAT AND I CAN ONLY PLAY UTR SNAKE NOT THIS WHOLE KUMBAYAH THING PPL GOT GOING ON

hi. so . after I almost win immunity after it was given to bryce when hes already won immunity in another social challenge, now bryce wants to vote mitch because ‘he Doesn’t like him’. I don’t know who the votes going to be and I rlly like Mitch so like I’m gonna pray and try to make sure it’s not him :( Fuck bryce

Okay... so. This round has been quite a lot, and I am going to try to explain it piece by piece because I have probably played more game in this round than I have the rest of the game combined.

Rhys told me that he wants to flip, and then Bryce told me that Zach also wants to flip (along with himself) against Mitch. I did not want to deal so I went to sleep.

I called Zach the same night and tried to gauge how much trust he has in me by admitting that Rhys wants to flip, and seeing how he would react towards me. He played very coy which is very... Zach.

Bryce told me that he went to Chris about flipping and that Chris shut it down, so I quickly went and leaked to Chris and showed my disinterest in flipping. I made a plan to call Zach and Bryce and try to convince them that this was the wrong move. (Keep in mind this was all the same night, after the immunity results.) I thought I made up some ground and pointed them in the direction of targeting Michael, but I would soon realize that they were just placating me. The call ended with Zach saying that he wanted to get Stephen's thoughts in the morning.

Come the morning, I hatch this crackhead plan to get Mitch the merge idol. According to Stephen from the night before, we were only 11 steps away from the end of the bridge. At 9 AM Bryce quickly searches and says "IT APPEARS WHATEVER WAS ONCE HERE IS GONE AHHH" (I was using my 3 person alliance to get myself or Bryce the idol, not knowing that I would regret doing that.) Being that Bryce said the exact line as if something were missing, I thought there were a couple possible scenarios: 1. He straight up lied. 2. Stephen actually got to the end of the bridge the night before. 3. The night before after everyone had guessed, Bryce took the numbers to a 3rd party (Zach) so they could get the idol.

So that plan was dead. I then considered, "what if I give Mitch my idol?" I quickly realized I would probably regret that in a few rounds.

I spent the rest of today formulating a plan to position myself in everyone's good graces no matter what the outcome of the vote is. I told Rhys I would help him recruit the minority to vote Mitch. I messaged all of them about the vote, and then I came clean with Chloe on call saying that "even though the vote is Mitch, we should be aware that it aligns with Bryce and Zach's agenda and they threw your name." I then communicated to Chris, Loris, and Stephen what Rhys said and my distaste for flipping.

You may wonder where the sudden distrust for Bryce came from. Well, Chris told me that Loris said "Bryce had this planned before immunity (voting for Mitch)." I'm thinking Bryce probably just used me to get to Zach but still wants us to be the F3. My interests don't seem to be aligning with theirs.

With that being said I will likely be voting for Mitch tonight. RIP to the brodie, you deserved better. I will try my best to put off using my challenge advantage and my idol for as long as possible, and I will be trying to play both sides between the Zach/Bryce duo and Chris.

So I’m finally in danger of going (love that). I’m praying someone doesn’t have an idol because I feel like the rehidden one has been found. It’s between me and matt but if I stay which I think is likely, I have to do a better job communicating. I think that’s what got me in this position in the first place. If this is my last confessional I really hope jared Stephen or Chris wins. They are all playing solid games and I will be cheering them on from the sideline

jared thinks hes so funny calling zach but not me like. all i demand from allies is complete loyalty and that they talk to no one else. is that asking too much???

Episode #9 - “I am COMING FOR YOU, dumb man” - Nicole

https://survivorunfinishedbusiness.tumblr.com/post/175968850213/merge-idol-system

Late Merge Cast Assessment: http://youtu.be/3gvxvXGLtLk

What in the actual fuck just happened????? So the second Dani used her legacy advantage I had Jake messaging me saying he knew and he made a move to try and get Julia out. Once tribal ended Anna also said she knew. WHY THE FUCK ARE YOU GUYS NOT TELLING ME THIS SHIT! Like I feel stupid because I would have voted Julia out, but apparently they don't trust me enough to tell me, but I have to act like everything is okay and that I am fine with it. Also, what does Dani have with my ass, like stop talking about it and maybe talk to me before trying to say shit about me. She keeps saying I should get my torch "bluffed" which is not the right word so...she smart. Hopefully with whatever the new idol system is she won't be able to find anything and we can send her to jury because she is not welcomed here anymore and hasn't been for a while.

I lost all hope today

Um okay so yeah I kinda did that... An hour before tribal, Dani tells me that she has the idol and wants to do a split 2-2 vote with Bodhi and Julia. Um, I like Dani and Bodhi, but don't trust Julia. Then I get added to the chat last, and they push for Kevin to go!!! No way. Like it's hard because a lot of people seem to like or trust me but I feel like I need to stay loyal to Kevin and Anna since they were my first alliance in this game. I knew that this would be the perfect opportunity to take Julia out because she has so many connections. So I went to Anna and Kevin and told them about what was happening and they agreed with voting Julia out! So to cause the least amount of drama, we kept quiet until drama. Julia went home and... um Dani popped tf off on me. Like yeah, I fucked over Dani and Bodhi and I do feel bad about it because they trusted me. I'm sorry guys, I wish I could make everyone happy but with Dani causing so many waves and Bodhi not talking to that many people, I can't risk ruining my game to save them, especially when I've been closer to other people. Me voting with them and causing that 2-2 split vote would have hurt my game more down the line, and I really do think that this was the best move. The only negative part is the fact that I didn't tell anyone else, which could hurt me. But I just gotta explain what I did to everyone and keep going. Also Julia if you read this later on, that wasn't a personal move, it was simply strategic. I truly felt like you have the most connections in the cast and that you did not trust me, taking you out later would be a tough challenge for me.

https://youtu.be/digZc7uZyzM

OK FUCK YOU GUYS FOR VOTING OUT JULIA! I AM SOOO MAD I AM GETTIN REVENGE! JAKE PREPARE TO DIE U LADY BUG! AND ANNA OMFG BITCHHH WHY TH FUCK U DO THAT OMG I WANTED TO LIKE U SOO BAD BUT UR S SKETCH FOR NOT TELLIN ME THE PLANN! LIKE DAFUQ... ughhh i still want to work with u soo bad but ughhh ur gonnna win if u dont get out! AND OMFG KORI I DONT HAV TIME TO TALK TO U RIGHT NOW AND U INQURING ABOUT WHAT HAPPENED AND LIKE USING PROPER GRAMMER I CANNOT IT IS KILLING ME MY GOD. this whole tribe is crap i ahte them all and trust no one. i only like john now. DANI OMFG GIRLL IM TRYIN TO WORK WIHT U BUT UR SOOOOOOOO MOUTHY U GET UR ALLIES IN TROUBLE WITH UR BIG MOUTH! ME AND JULIA AND ITS AWFUL I JUST UGHGHHGGH

I still can't believe last night happened.... Like...we made a move... We...did something. I really love our alliance and I love that Anna is back. But a group of 3 among a group of 12 is easy to be picked off. I think Dani should go next. Or I want her to go next. But someone already found the fucking merge which like what the fuck, so we have to tread carefully. If I had to guess... I don't know, I would guess Ryan has it? That man knows everything about editing the wiki so I feel like he could easily find it. Especially since whoever found it did it in the span of like. Two fucking hours. Fuck them. Also John is apparently ~awake~ I guess because getting votes alarmed him. I told him the tea and I think he wants to work with my trio, he says he likes all of us. And clearly we're expendable to Dani and Bodhi so like...bye bye!

https://survivorunfinishedbusiness.tumblr.com/post/176000696418/individual-immunity-results-2

The one chance I had to save my ass was BLOWN into the wind. I am SHAFUCKED.

ughhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh. I was one point away from winning immunity again (depending on the answers to the tiebreaker). Hoping people don't notice that too much though because I don't need to be seen as a threat. Either way, I think the plan will be Dani again, because knowing her competition record in this game, I doubt she got the merge idol. I really want an easy tribal after the one last night because that was too extra.

Ok, so a lot is going through my head right now. Apparently Bodhi is targeting Anna so she wants him gone this round. Bodhi is with Dani, and Dani is not good for my game, but honestly I don't want Bodhi gone yet. Anna is good for my game because she is a bigger target than me and she trusts me. But also, she is good at challenges and is working with Jake who is running the game. I need to be closer to Jake than she is and while I'm not sure if that is what the end result would be if I vote her out, it could be worth the chance. I just don't want to make the same mistakes that I did in Himalayas where I let someone else make all of my moves, with this, I am making my own move by taking a chance with my game that is risky and could put a target on my back, but shows that I can make a move. After the vote I could talk to Jake if he realizes I switched and say how I thought she was being shady to me and what not (it could help to lie) and that she is a really big threat because she is smart and so many people like her and it seemed only Dani was targeting her. But if I switch and Anna stays then I could be fucked...but I could also blame it on Kori. What sucks is, if I had won immunity I would be questioning this a lot less and making the move because it wouldn't be able to backfire on me for this tribal.

Oh Bodhi's real fucking cute, huh. He's really trying it!!! Little Bodhi took a fucking nap in the second swap, not even bothering to talk to me, and then at merge he FINALLY responds, he comes to me all cute and all "omg lol i'm such a flop" yeah you sure fucking are! 24 hours after that he and his ragtag rat gang decide I'm expendable for the sake of drama and that dumb plan falls apart. But little Bodhi's still coming for my head!!! Now he's saying Jake Anna and I are in control. We are literally three people in a group of 12, we are not controlling anyone dumby. I'm sorry that you're so obsessed with me, like I hope you seek help about that but please stop targeting me. Im fucking eleven so shut the fuck up. Ugh I'm PISSED but thankfully i don't think he has connections so voting him out should be easy peasy lemon squeezy. Im literally a social flop leave me alone

Okay so it's been a minute but I'm back in the game. I think I really screwed up my game by going on vacation but I do not regret it because vacation was AMAZING. But, now that I'm back I heard that Jake and Bodhi are tryna get me out after getting out Julia. Well, I'm not going to let that HAPPEN. Bye bye Bodhi. I am going to be online all day drowning my sadness of no longer being on vacation and I am COMING FOR YOU, dumb man. I will get you voted off.......or I will get voted out but, hopefully the first one!

Woohoo! First time being immune in Athena and it feels sooo good. Especially with this messy tribal! So after immunity results, Dani did a 180 and went from cussing me out to saying that she’s alone and thinks it’s best for my game to use her as a number and shield, which I agree with. She was pitching to target Anna and Timmy, but I deflected that and told her that we should vote out Kori because he’d be easier to take out. She agreed and said that we could get Ryan, Blake, John, Bodhi, and Nicole. Things are calm until Anna and Ryan tell me that Bodhi told Ryan that me/Anna/Kevin are running the game and need to be targeted. Um? Bodhi, don’t call for me unless I send for you please. This makes me not want to try to help him out now. Anna is considering splitting the votes between Bodhi and Dani in case of an idol. Bodhi comes to me this morning and tells me that he wants to vote out Nicole which is even MORE confusing. These bitches are messy, I’m not sure where the votes are falling or where I even wanna vote right now.

why Dani why can't you listen to one thing i say! WHEN I SAYYY DONT TELL ANYONE THIS LIKE NOTHING AT ALL THAT MEASN SHUTUP! OMG DANI I LOVE U BUT UR GAMEPLAY THIS TIME AROUND IS AWFUL! if u seriously wud of done nothing and been going about ur day u normally wud u wud hav a huge chance of stying tonight but here u go again fucking urself and messing this shit up like wtf... dud why cant u listen to me its infuriating. i dont think i can help u anymore just everytime i tell u a piece of information u fucking leak it into two seconds! and then it gets back right to me that u opened ur mouth. u r making this o hard for me.

I'm about to tara this Final 5 im idoling Anna out and then ima go to f3 wiht two goatier ppl than me (lookin at u nicole and kori <3)

Welp. Jake's immune tonight, and the names are flying everywhere, with Mine, Dani's, Bodhi's, and Nicole's just floating around. I have to hope people are being honest with me, but if I'm being serious and realistic, it doesn't look too good for me overall. Anna was also suspicious I wanted to vote her out, and I mean yeah eventually I will but not right now. I suspect Dani since Dani also told me Anna would vote me out in a heartbeat, but for some reason I have a hard time believing that. Of course I've been lead astray before, last season I was with Ally 100% and she totally back-stabbed me, so we'll see if Loyalty is my downfall again. On the plus side, finished that merge boot/first juror unfinished business. Now I just gotta somehow survive tonight to beat my previous placement of 12th place.

Dani i love you sooo much but u are making this game hard for me :( i hope u stay but if u r majority... im sorry

Honestly I'm kind of hoping for a tie. Would make things really interesting. Although I think that the vote is going to be something like 8-4 with the 4 being Dani, Bodhi, Nicole, and Blake. I can see them possibly getting Isaac but that's it though so it probably won't be a tie. Although if Bodhi does go, that's not bad for my game so woo.

Well it looks like Bodhi could be fucked if he doesn’t have the idol. And if he does have the idol then I want him and Dani to vote out someone I don’t trust, like Kori or Nicole. Preferably Kori because I think he’s well connected with John and Blake and will be a problem for me later on. I wanna tell Bodhi to play his idol if he has it but like I also don’t know if I trust him after I heard he was talking shit about me to Ryan. Regardless, I just don’t want Bodhi going to Ponderosa pissed at me. I need to keep my jury management in mind.

So I got absolutely nothing for Touchy Subjects and I was debating whether or not this was a good thing or not and I think right now that it’s great. No one sees as a threat and everyone is going after the bigger targets within the game and I think we should just let them rip each other apart. I’m a very opportunistic player so when the time comes to make moves I plan on rocking the boat but as of right now I think it’s best to keep my head down and watch the fireworks.

Hey ladies it seems we might have a curvy spined mastermind. Idk how he’s doing it but Jake is able to discern where the majority lies in this vote which is something nobody else has been able to do which gives me 2 options: Option A Jake created a majority against Bodhi to protect Nicole oR Option B Jake has a social game for the Gods. Either way he’s a threat and I’ve got my one good eye on that binch

Girl I thought Jake was joking about the curved spine but that binch got scoliosis. Sorry rip.

ok so there is a lot going on. after that last tribal anna and jake both explained they needed julia gone because dani had an idol and blah blah blah whatever...i love julia...but she was in an alliance without me so its not the worst thing to happen...so now i have everyone being boring and wanting dani out....but i fucking love dani.....so i was on call with bodhi last night and he basically wants to shake things up...and i agree....but i dont see that happening if there is no drama....so i take everything he says about anna and jake and i tell both of them...which makes anna go into a downward paranoia spiral...so good...now im completed phase one....so now the names of dani kori nicole and bodhi are all out there for the vote...my goal is gonna be to pass along information to everyone so that it just causes chaos...cause if bodhi and dani stay thats so much more drama and i love it...sorry i had to do this to you bodhi but i used you and your plan to do what you wanted...just not in the way you wanted it to happen

Jake and Anna are way more competent in this game than I am. I'm gonna ride out this alliance for a little longer, but they need to go. If I went to the final 3 to them it's clearly 0 votes third place for me. I think I could use the tea they said about Ryan and Timmy to my advantage. They and John fear those two because they're good at challenges. Luckily for me Ryan came to me before the merge about sticking with the challenge beasts. I'm just not sure when's the right time to strike. Or with who. Like say it's that 3. Who do we get on board? I think John's sticking with Anna and Jake. I could probably get Dani on board... I think if I wanted to pull this move off, I'd have to get down and dirty and expose my alliance with Anna and Jake, to give people an incentive to vote with me. That's for the future, though. Tonight, it's Bodhi or Kori. I wanna keep Kori around. I think I have enough tea that Kori could be useful. Because Jake was the one who suggested splitting on Kori. So I have to PRAY Bodhi doesn't play an idol, because I want Kori in this game. Hmm I'm thinking many steps ahead which can be dangerous because I don't wanna have tunnel vision in this game, I wanna keep my mind open and with the flow. We'll see how the turns table...but I'll be one happy boy if they table my way...

Dear lord please save me tonight. DEAR LORD PLEASE SAVE ME TONIGHT I HAVE A LOT MORE FIGHT IN ME. I NEED TO STAY GOD PLEASE.

WELL right now im like playing lowkey sorta lol. i want eveyrone to see me as like dumb and dependent on them so they will think i need them for the later game and they see me as a number for them and as a friend. Right now im on eveyrones good side i believe. Like i dont think anyone wants to see me go home right now. But ass of rn im planting seeds of distrust against Jake so later in the game ppl will be more willing to vote him out. My strategy rn is to continue laying low being on everyone good side go with majority and wait for the big players to attack one another. after that ill take out the remaining big player (hopefully i make it that far lol) then me and some goats will go to the finals :D

God I forgot Isaac was in this game!!!! Lmao. I'm gonna write this down just to...formulate a plan. Anna and Jake - both big threats. Anna has the hero thing going on for her, Jake's in the middle controlling the game. John - seems to be on the Wig ship, but like kind of a stowaway Timmy and Ryan - so called scary challenge beasts. John and co don't trust them. That's ammo I can use to sink the wig ship. Kori and Isaac - these were the two people Jake and Anna wanted to split votes on this round. That can also be ammo. Dani - crazy queen who wants to clock Anna. Probably pissed at Jake Bodhi - hopefully dead by 8 pm EST Nicole - she's here too Blake - he's kinda a question mark for me, at least I personally don't know where he's at but i'm honestly just not paying enough attention sksj So... If I wanted to take down the Wigs, I could use Ryan and Timmy. That's 3. I could maybe get Isaac and Kori. That's 5. And dani? God do I really want to use Dani? But that would make it 6. I don't think final 11 is the best round for this move. But if the Wigs target someone I wanna keep around, a bitch just might have to flip earlier than expected. And if I hear someone's targeting one of the wigs? A bitch just might have to jump on board.

SO i got one vote last round Turns out it was from Bodhi. He Julia and Dani tried to split the votes onto me and Kevin, and tried to get Anna and Jake to join them. Anna and Jake are my peeps so they made sure I wasn't the vote and got Kevin to vote out Julia. Jake said it was because he knew he could trust Julia which I knew already, and I probably wouldn't have been down for it. I will say that Julia being out of the game isn't the worst thing for me even though we were good friends in this game and was probably my closest ally. Dani told me she wanted Kori out, and I really do like Dani, but Kori is somebody that I have been working well with. So I immediate told him I had his back. Anna told me that she wanted Bodhi to go this round and that would be my first choice too so YAY. The entire day I have been talking to people and making sure that they are also wanting this to happen and now it seems to be majority?? Let's hope so If he plays an idol I'll die
