Finale: "I can't believe I cried at tribal council for NOTHING!!!!" - Trinica

Trinica

JayJay's last act was to sabotage my perfect game and give Champ a shot at winning this...iconic. ICONIC. I can't even be mad about it as a fan of Survivor, it was a good move. I fell for her act hook line and sinker and told her she was the vote.

I don't know what to do with these idols of mine but I know I'm making it to final 4 at least!

Raffy

Can y’all believe I’m making Final 4? Honestly RIP Trinica. Unless Champ wants to take out someone else? Idk it just makes the most sense for her to take out Trinica but what do I know. I’m going to secure my spot by winning final immunity. Then at FTC I’m gonna wow everyone with how pretty I am then win. Great plan by me

Yeah I think Champ is just going to use it on herself. Jinx asked to be voted out. I’m going to oblige. Hopefully I can’t win FIC.

Toni

Theme: Last Rites

This may be my last confession. Low-Key hoping it is lol.

My extra vote cost us an all BW final 3 and I am hugely affected. I cant eat, I can't sleep. I am worn and torn and tired. JK.

I was really sad about it yesterday and this morning but I think all those feelings have subsided. I don't know what the plan is but I hope by an act of god we manage to do something unbelievable.

Let's hope this isn't my last rite but if anyone goes tonight I hope it's me.

Jinx

do not have a jinx cast yet i went to record the goodbye one and started crying <3

Champ

The way Jayjay and I pulled off a fake idol scenario is so funny to me. Everyone believes I actually have it when I don’t

Trinica

I can't believe I cried at tribal council for NOTHING!!!!

I felt like I needed to share the news about my two idols with Raffy, Jinx, and Toni (though I knew she already knew) because I was twisting my brain into a pretzel playing 3D chess trying to figure out if there was any way to ensure Champ went home. I did have a feeling she would be comfortable and wouldn't want to play her idol-- it would be a move the jury might be excited about, and she needed a risky move. I assumed she had to have an idol since Jeff Probst always says whether an idol is real or fake, and Jay mentioned the idol transfer, but now I'm wondering if the idol was real at all. If it wasn't, I'll know for future games not to make assumptions that just because Jay said something it means it's real LOL

I'm honestly still a little emotional about this. This last challenge feels like one anyone could win, so there's a possibility that the vecepia alliance makes it to the end for real, which would be just beautiful. I maintain that if I make it to the end with Toni, Toni wins, but it would be an honor to lose to either of these amazing people. This goes way beyond the game, it's become a real symbol and truly does reflect what Black gay magic looks like. <3

Toni

Theme: Reckoning

HELLO WORLD!

I thought the last entry was going to be my last but here I am and happy to be here after completely exposing our game and crying real tears on live camera like a clown. The BIG 3 are still alive and kicking!!

I just want to say I'm so proud of Trinica! This game has been HER game. She's played it so well even when she played for herself (i.e. when I discovered she had an idol before she told me) I never worried about her loyalty. The only person who ever made me doubt trinica is JayJay - what a player she was. I'm equally as proud of jinx because everything we've talked about concerning her i've seen come to the surface in this game but she's still remained herself which is an amazing and a hard thing to do. I'm really proud of us because we had legitimate worries about each other throughout this game and still we persisted. We chose to be allies right at the start of the game in the first week of the game THE BIG THREE was final three and we continued to CHOOSE to be allies even when faces with growing pains and misunderstandings. I remember choosing to stand by jinx after out misunderstanding, I remember Trinica choosing to stand by me after our misunderstanding and jinx choosing to stand by us when we blindsided her and even choosing to fight our corner from the jury seat when she thought we were in danger.

This is just a game but I also feel like this game has transcended just being a game to us. There's something powerful about what we've done and after spiralling in and out of game throughout the second half of the game i've come to a center. What has balanced me is the knowing that everything bonding WAS real and anything game was just a game. I've realised how much my perspective of the game matters and my perspective of the game is the bond 3 black women have made in this game. Though I respect the other perspective was confusing and frustrating to others that was only because they could not break us and thats something to be celebrated.

I've been thinking about what my game has been and I've realised that my game has mostly been social and in as much as i've had to lie and manipulate those outside my alliance whether I like it or not I was very good at it. That doesn't have to speak to my moral compass or character it could also speak to an area of skill I usually use to inspire others or capture their loyalty in my real life. I'm also very proud of following my gut. My gut has told me whenever I was about to be betrayed, its told me where idols were, its told me who to trust and who to keep at arms length and that has also been extremely affirming.

At the start of the week I was trembling at the thought of the FTC reckoning but now I feel safe in the idea that the bonds I made were real and the game I played was genuine. Many things I did may have been misinterpreted and other things may have been intentional on my end but I truly believe that everyone was able to see my genuine heart despite the game.

I hope Raffy does not win immunity because this is the final hurdle to realising our dream. 3 mistakes I regret in this game - 1. Not voting Raffy out sooner 2. Not letting them vote JayJay out 3. Voting Bethany out when my gut told me she was actually loyal somewhat to Pink Venom.

Guess thats it! GOODBYE WORLD! (the world of the game or the vacuum i'm speaking in - I AM NOT SUICIDAL). P.S. Jay, you're amazing and I commend you for having to read through all my anxiety confessionals that must have been exhausting lol.

Raffy

The last man. The last Tromoya. And the last juror. I'm that girl.

Trinica

I BEAT RAFFY!!!!!!!! AND NOT JUST AT A TIEBREAKER!!!!!!!!!!!

I'm actually in shock. The vecepia alliance WILL be at final 3. We manifested it, and here we are.

I'm listening to a podcast about the best way to craft an opening statement while also drafting answers to most likely questions I'll get from the jury. I want to be PREPARED! I'm low-key bummed that it won't be a live-on-video final tribal, but I've always been more eloquent in my writing so hopefully this works in my favor.

episode fourteen: "I’m on cloud nine and truly vibing" - Raffy

Trinica

Not Jay exposing me and AJ for having a "historically strong alliance" during tribal when I've spent weeks lying to these people about never speaking to AJ!!!!!

I'm honestly shocked that vote went off as planned. JayJay, Champ, and Tyler just...believed that we would vote the way we said we would. After two votes we were involved with going awry. They just said, well, maybe this time!!! I'm so confused.

I think my perfect game comes to an end next vote though, because there is simply no way that Champ and JayJay don't target me or Toni for lying to them for a third time now. Also, the idol question is getting real suspicious considering nobody has played one since Raffy did. I literally thought there were at least 3 floating around but it seems like I literally have the only idols in the game. Iconic of me, truly.

Toni

Theme: Taking Stock

I'm taking stock of my game so far and I'm not sure whether to be happy or sad about it. Something Jinx said yesterday got me thinking. I have bouts of thinking it's just a game and then bouts of guilt and regret. This may just be because I'm a new player but I'm struggling to understand how this game is able to affect me in this way.

Usually when i'm overwhelmed in that way I tend to disconnect in every sense of the word. I've thought about quitting this game multiple times today and I'm sure others in my alliance who have had to carry out some of the "dirty work" have experienced the same level of guilt as I do.

I feel a little better now that the lies are out in the open but also don't. Over the last two tribals I have felt like I needed to lie to people because of our alliance perhaps I put myself in that position by being to friendly to everyone. That's how I justify it - "I did it out of necessity" or "I've been loyal to my one true alliance unless they've been disloyal to me". I noticed at the last tribal that no-one even attempted to put on a poker face. I didn't feel right about it. It makes me feel like we're underestimating others. It also makes me feel like we're in danger because of that. Maybe we're getting to confident, too comfortable and too emotionally detached. This may be why I feel more guilt today, because for a second I forgot I was lying to real people.

so yeah...

Raffy

Last tribal, it was Jinx’s idea to switch to Tyler. I’ll be honest. I thought he was about to use an idol and we were gonna be screwed. To think that JayJay, Champ, and Tyler actually trusted Trinica and Toni after all that’s happened? It’s wild. I understand they’re targeting Jinx and me, but I didn’t think they didn’t see the obvious alliance. It’s going to be real boring until Final 4 and, even then, I think that’ll be boring too lol. I think Trinica and Toni are definitely sitting at the end. It’ll be between Jinx and I for that last slot. I think I would need to win immunity to secure my spot, so I’ll try really hard to win it! Even then, a lot can still happen.

For this tribal, the alliance is just going to vote 2-2 between Champ and JayJay. As long as they don’t have an extra vote or vote steal, it should be good. If there is no idol play, we plan to vote for JayJay on the revote. Then we’ll be at Final 5 and need to ensure Champ doesn’t win immunity. Honestly, I get why people stay loyal in these games. I’m on cloud nine and truly vibing.

Trinica

Bless JayJay for trying to get Toni to believe I blamed her for the Tyler vote. That's so funny to me because I literally knew this was going to be her tactic when she asked me last night whether it was Toni's decision after I had already told her it was a joint decision. You tried it, JayJay!!!

Jinx

episode thirteen: "[tiktok voice] she's just a baby!!!!" - Trinica

Tyler Frazier

Alyssa played a better game on BB24 than I am playing right now.

Trinica

The vote went off as planned, no idols were played, and AJ is gone :( I genuinely feel so so so bad about that vote. [tiktok voice] she's just a baby!!!!

This wasn't the best move for me right now, but it was the best move to show trust in vecepia alliance + Raffy, so here we are. I don't think for one second that Champ, Tyler, and JayJay are buying my "oh Jinx popped into my DMs a minute before tribal telling me they don't trust AJ any more" but I had to say something. They were going to assume I spilled the beans anyway lol.

So next up...JayJay, Champ, or Tyler!

Jayjay

I’m wondering why Jinx forfeited the challenge… I tried my best on this one but glad that it was Toni out of anyone who won immunity 👏🏼 Proud

Trinica

I actually thought I had this challenge in the bag but Moby Dick fucked me. As it so often does. I'm glad my ally won BUT I really wish it was me because I think Champ/Tyler/JayJay don't trust either of us so now I'm probably their target. All it takes is a well-placed idol and I go home.

Raffy

I'm glad to see that last tribal council went exactly as I thought. My alliance has had such a death grip in this game. However, at the Final 7, I have a feeling tonight is going to go my way. There are too many idol variables. I feel like I am getting idoled out tonight for real this time. Oh well. I think our plan is remaining the same. We are not going to talk to the other side as to give them no ideas. Hopefully it seems like we will be voting JayJay. They use any idols they have on her. We vote someone else. If it works, great! If it doesn't, wig.

Tyler Frazier

So I did awful in the challenge per usual, I don’t know what the plan is tonight and I’ll probably be left out of the vote or shocked by it again. BUT here’s what I think will happen We say we are voting raffy and he plays an idol or “miraculously” gets the numbers once again sending Jayjay or myself out of the game

Champ

If I stay in throw this next round, I’m gonna fight for an immunity run! At first it was strategic to make me seen as non threatening, but now I need to build my resume

Toni

Theme: How Did I win immunity?

AJ is gone!! A queen truly but she had to go lol I could not keep up with her betrayals lol. The scariest thing is thinking you're at the top of an alliance and not knowing you're actually on the bottom. Even though I won Immunity this round I am still a little bit anxious about a blindside or a flip this round by one of my allies. Trinica has grown increasingly quiet but I think it's because she feels like she's in danger this round. I want to do everything to keep trinica safe this round.

Also, HOW DID I WIN IMMUNITY?

Just when I had given up all hope I was ever going to be a challenge winner looool I was not expecting it. I hope I can win more. That would be cool. This one felt a bit like luck lol. I'm very worried about the next few rounds but I'm very worried about this round simply because I feel like an idol will be played tonight and I may lose and ally which will make the next tribal very difficult.

The best we can hope for is a misplayed Idol.

Byeeeeeeeeeeee

episode twelve: "she’s biting at the bit to make a 'big' move" - Raffy

Tyler Frazier

The fact Trinica was able to single handily unify THIS group of people is probably the most impressive thing I’ve seen all game

Trinica

Arvin!! King of the Serve, of the Self-Vote!!!! RIP, you will be missed.

So, getting down to business now. I've been thinking about it, and if it's me, Jinx, and Toni at FTC, the votes play out like this:

Toni: Tyler, JayJay, Champ, Esteban Jinx: Raffy maybe Me: AJ, Bethany, Hairie, Arvin

Which is uhhhh not good. So I need to really really really consider whether taking Toni is my best bet here.

I think my ideal vote order is: Raffy/AJ (whoever doesn't win immunity), JayJay, Champ, Tyler.

Well Arvin is gone. Can't believe he self voted. I'm just glad I can sleep in tomorrow

Trinica

I had to pretend Jay let me save the fake disadvantage I have because of the bracket-style challenge, and I doubt AJ and Toni will believe that.

AJ asked me if I was the one who brought up her name for the vote because JayJay said I did, and then she said that Toni has been complaining that I haven't gotten my hands dirty. This sounds like such an un-Toni thing to say because she knows how much I've been lying (though she is upset about having voted for JayJay which is silly because JayJay doesn't know she voted for her). I think AJ is trying to make sure I don't have any outside alliances...that, or she's trying to get me to turn on people and be paranoid to vote me out.

Raffy

My alliance voted for Arvin yesterday because they just didn’t trust him like that since they viewed him as flip floppy. I didn’t really see him the same, but I guess they just wanted to stop relying on him.

In this round, I’m going to try to win immunity again and vote out JayJay. I think it’s her time to go. I’ve been sharing idol information with my alliance, but they don’t seem to want to be giving any back. Oh well. I tried. At least I got this diving gear to check out the ship finally. I don’t particularly feel like I need to find the idol, but it would be nice if I did. If it’s in the shop, then I definitely need to win some immunities to be able to purchase it. The coin economy is very low.

I don’t know if AJ will flip on us soon or not. It feels like she will. Like she’s biting at the bit to make a “big” move. I hope she realizes the moment she betrays the alliance is the moment she will get voted out next. I have faith that she’ll stick with us, but we shall see. With FTC becoming closer, people are going to want to fill in their resumes. And I’m probably a big person to add to that.

Trinica

I FOUND ANOTHER IDOL!!! Iconic, showstopping, groundbreaking, etc etc. I actually just bought this one using AJ's money, which is very funny to me. I went back to the market as planned and got the golden scissors, truly expecting a "Steal a Vote" advantage or something, and it was a FREAKING IDOL. My decision to get an advantage yesterday instead of going straight to the market is stressing me out in hindsight, but thankfully I don't think many people have a lot of coins.

I lied to AJ because she thought I was going to the barn today, so I had to make up some BS about what I found in the barn, which I'm sensing in my gut she didn't believe, but I'm so close to the end that I can afford to be a little sloppier with my lies. Especially when I know AJ is lying to me about several things as well. I did tell Toni that I lied to AJ about my idol hunt today (though I didn't tell her why) and asked her to corroborate that lie, so hopefully she actually does. But I think Toni is getting a little suspicious of me at this point, too.

I did use my advantage for Boggle today, so here's hoping I don't flop under the pressure and can actually pull out immunity today. If I can, I'll make it to final 7 (!!!) and then will have at least two more spots I can move up. It'll be tricky figuring out when to use these idols since as soon as I use them, everyone I'm aligned with will know I've been keeping things from them, but I'll figure it out. I just need to avoid going out like James with two in my pocket ;__;

Tyler Frazier

Apparently Jayjay went off on Trinica so I don’t think Raffy is leaving rn and I’m sure Trinica and Toni will be voting out Jayjay and waiting another round to flip. If they even mean it when they say they wanna work with us

Trinica

I asked Toni to verify my story about the barn idol hunt to AJ and she absolutely did not do that. It sounds like AJ believes me for some reason, but Toni is playing a middle of the road game, and she needs to go. The only issue would be convincing everyone else of that. What if F3 was Raffy and Jinx instead? If Jinx knew Raffy was safe, maybe she'd be more willing to vote out Toni...

Toni

Theme: Bad Info

Hello World!

It's been a while since I started a confession like that. This is an indication I'm starting to enjoy the game again. Main thing to report since last time is I used the length of this challenge as way to decompress from the game and I've enjoyed doing that. I told AJ I would throw the challenge so she had a chance of winning so that gave me the chance to take the rest of yesterday and today off which I absolutely did.

We've started to hunt together but I've started to notice multiple people giving bad info so I guess if you can't beat them join them? I've also been vague about my idol hunt activities in order to create some mystery around whether or not I have an Idol. There 2 reasons someone may not Idol hunt right... 1. They've already secured an Idol or 2. They have no interest or time to do so and are focusing on the main game. Which one am I?

I have stopped communication with JayJay completely because she's a wizard with words and I'm only talking to Tyler and Champ when they message me first. I think that's what's best right now in order to stay more under the radar. I'm trusting that my alliance has my back and that I've built up enough trust to continue in the game.

Alright that's it.

I'm interested to see what happens this round seeing as our target is a high profile one.

Bye!

I absolutely can not believe the fucking idol was found. The worst part is that I literally just finished formatting our idol hunt documents to figure out where we've not yet searched. I can only hope we eliminate the person who has the idol so idol hunt opens up again. I just want to find one :((

Trinica

So to keep track, today:

- Convinced AJ Toni was lying about her idol hunt in the barn to save my own ass for lying. - Toni admitted to lying even though she was TELLING THE TRUTH in our shipwreck alliance chat with AJ. - Took a chance on trusting Raffy's idol hunt intel and got another 10% AD in case I wasted mine on Boggle, which apparently I'm at least okay at - Convinced AJ to use her yes/no knowledge is power advantage on Raffy - Convinced AJ that since Raffy doesn't have an idol, Jinx must - Reestablished a connection with Toni by calling her and being up-front about AJ telling me Toni's frustrated at me not getting my hands dirty, thus redirecting distrust back at AJ.

I went to bed yesterday feeling like I wasn't in the best place for this tribal but now? Feeling on top of the world babyyyyy!

Tyler Frazier

Im already being told to vote Raffy. This could be the end of the line for me 💔

Well Jinx won. It'll be risky telling her the vote but I do think to inspire trust we'll need to. Praying we can actually pull off a blindside.

Trinica

I THOUGHT I HAD THIS CHALLENGE IN THE BAG NOOOOOOOO!!!!! Lost due to a series of typos, RIP me. But I'm glad Jinx won, as long as it wasn't Raffy/JayJay. I was considering playing an idol if i lost yesterday, but I'm feeling like I'm in such a good place that there's no need.

Gonna try and confess each time this link gets sent. I'm so proud of Jinx for winning, she really pulled this one off and it seems like smth she has fun with!

Tyler Frazier

Well hopefully Raffy is the actual plan cause that’s all I have to grab onto. I don’t really have much say in the way things go and I’m basically a goat

Jayjay

This challenge was pretty tough considering I’ve never played this game nor am I good at any word games lol. So I got further in it then I expected which was nice but I knew it was gonna be difficult to beat AJ, Trinica, or Jinx because they all seem like very intelligent individuals. I gave it my all but of course I didn’t win immunity so I’m just worried about my name being a vote for tomorrows tribal. I’d like to put a lot of trust in the alliance I have right now and they seem to want one of the other people like Aj or Raffy out before me which would make sense since I’m not much of a threat compared to them and how strong they are in challenges. So far I feel like Raffy will be the vote for us to go with which I’d be all for considering he’s been hunting me down since Esteban has left lol. I feel pretty confident that I won’t be going home however if an idol is played… I think I’m pretty much screwed 🤷🏼‍♀️

Tyler Frazier

O M G I am in an actual alliance I think. Idk hopefully it makes it past one vote. I still think Trinica is winning the season but like I really don't have the power to do anything about it. My game is pretty bad, I dont think I can win at all. I just wanna make ftc so I can go three games in a row without being voted out. My flop era is not serving.

Raffy

The plan with my alliance is to all vote for Champ, but make it seem like we’re voting for JayJay. This is because we are terrified of an idol being played since we have no idea who has them. Trinica and Toni are playing double agents as they are currently in an alliance with JayJay, Tyler, and Champ. They are definitely in the best positions right now. Im definitely nervous since I know that the other side is coming for me. Honestly? I feel it in the air that I’m getting voted out (either by being idoled out or being betrayed). I won’t be too upset with either scenario. I’ve gotten a lot farther than I thought I would in this game. And I’ve accomplished most of what I set out to do. If I do get voted out, I’m hoping for Trinica to pull out the win the most. She definitely deserves it and she is my queen!

Jinx

https://voca.ro/18BBmlHpVe1n

round ?? jinxcast. “it’s never too late to step your pussy up in survivor”

ft a weird my immortal moment

I think tonight's vote is one I'm the most worried about. Jinx is such a wild card, but I'm praying she'll keep the plan a secret if we tell her to in the name of pink venom. Realistically there is no long game for her without us, so I'm hoping she'll realize that and stay with the gang.

Trinica

Jinx and Toni want AJ out a lot earlier than I wanted AJ out. I really did try to dissuade them but Jinx is so adamant about keeping Raffy, and with me telling Toni that AJ wants to target her, I think I sealed her fate.

There are options, of course. I could idol AJ. But I don't think it makes sense for my game. It would cement our trust, but I do want her out at some point, so I suppose it may as well be now. But I do feel terrible about it.

I'm so fucking worried about tonight's vote since I've been informed my name is being written down as a split. I can only hope tonight goes as planned, but hey ponderosa is a vibe.

Raffy

Trinica and Toni started an alliance with Jinx and me. Apparently, AJ has turned her back on me and it’s us four against the world. According to Trinica, AJ wants to bring Trinica and Tyler to the end. I mean I would vote for Trinica in a heartbeat in that scenario, but I think AJ actually wants to bring Champ and Tyler to the end and take the big threats out. Where’s the flavor? It’s a shame because I did want to be loyal to AJ but you should never trust someone who reminds you of Els. In any case, I’m going to vote AJ out now. I do suspect she has an idol. The alliance is doing the same. Now we’re 4 vs. 3 in Final 7. Hopefully AJ has an idol that they aren’t using and we can send her packing. I’m just nervous now because my game is relying on incorrect idol plays. Never a good place to be.

Toni

Theme: Troninx Forever

Firstly, I want to say how grateful I am for Trinica and Jinx in this game we have been aligned since the very first week of the game and have held on strong together even through some really big misunderstanding and attempts to separate us. We talk to each other so honestly too and are level headed enough to hear each other out.

This tribal will determine the course of the rest of our game. It's a really important one but I've been asked to save my extra vote. Luckily there are several contingencies in place so fingers crossed we actually manage to pull off an AJ blindside.

I do actually love AJ she feels like she's my child lol but also the boss of me :'). I think she underestimated how strong of a bond Trinica and I had. I think she's underestimated how good of a game Trinica is playing. Troninx Forever!

I'm Out! (Y)

Champ

Still in this game with no a single vote casted against me so that’s impressive! If I stay in I really want to win this next challenge and gain a resume!

Right before tribal, hoping this all goes well.

Episode Eleven: "Keep your hands as clean as possible but still get them dirty" - Toni

Trinica

I survived another tribal, time to manage everyone in my chats and pretend I have no idea what's going on!!!

I really feel for JayJay. I told the group I wouldn't vote her because I had to vote with Arvin, but really it was just because i couldn't stand to vote for JayJay. She left the duo duo alliance with me, toni, and champ that I suggested we make because she feels like she can't trust anyone. Not to sound privileged because i've never had to play from the bottom, but i really can't imagine how that must feel.

I think this is the round that my lies come to the light, which also means I really need to win this two truths and a lie challenge. It's flip o'clock in the larger alliance with Raffy and Arvin, and Raffy at least has a lot of dirt on me.

Tyler Frazier

Okay when I said in my bio that I wanted to play like Michele I wasn’t serious so can I please just know what’s going on

Also don’t know how I’m supposed to do the two truths and a lie considering half the cast doesn’t talk to me/only talks game with me but that’s okay challenges aren’t my vibe anyways

Jayjay

Well this sucks.

Trinica

JayJay told Toni not to trust her #1 (me) because she was told by someone who voted for her how it all went down. So what that tells me is... AJ is playing games, because this message came in literally right after AJ told JayJay that she voted for her. Which means Ms. AJ is doing what I've been doing this whole game-- subtly trying to discredit her or paint her as a target. Which is fun and cute and sexy when I do it, not when someone else does it to me!!!

AJ may need to go a little sooner than expected :)

Toni

Theme: Made a Liar of Me

I told a blatant lie for the first time in this game (I think). It didn't feel good but I'm trying not to feel too guilty about it that I don't speak to anyone. JayJay believes that Trinica flipped and warned me about voting with her. As long as we can keep old Tramoya at odds we'll be ok.

The tough thing about this situation is you try and keep your hands as clean as possible but still get them dirty. I said I wanted to play this game with as much integrity and empathy as possible but I have make a liar of me. I would have been a lot more uncomfortable with everything but I've started becoming numb to it. I've told myself everyone is lying to some extent.

It would be great to be able to get to the end but is a game worth compromising some of these things. This game continues to rub up against my sense of self but also it's a great awakening to the fact that I am capable of these not so great things and that realisation is truly humbling.

Signing off uncomfortable but numb.

Champ

Voting out bethany was hard :( I didn’t want to and I continue to be on the bottom but hey it’s final 9 and not a single person casted a vote for me :)

Tyler Frazier

So I really do not feel confident in my performance at the immunity challenge at all. I guessed on all of them and I’m just hoping raffy doesn’t win because Trinica came to me a little before the vote last time talking about how they’re sick or Raffy skating by so that’s really the only hope that Champ Jayjay and I have and if it is one of us just hopefully it’s not me.

Jayjay

I’m honestly so embarrassed and ashamed at how low I scored…

Tyler Frazier

I said Raffy was the one person I didn’t want to win so ofc he won. Well this sucks

Raffy

I won immunity. I'm so great. I'm gonna do whatever Trinica tells me to do this round. We might target JayJay. Who knows with idols?

Trinica

Raffy, I see you with your "let's all idol hunt together" and your "I'm going to start a spreadsheet" and your "I'm going to put a bunch of false information in said spreadsheet to throw you off the scent" 🤔

I can't even say it's a smart move because at this point, so many of us could have gone down so many paths or heard from others what happens on them, so finding out your lying is a likely possibility! You're lucky you have immunity.

In the meantime, Toni and AJ are going to give me all their coins so I can grab the golden scissors at the market. And I will. But first, I'm going to go get a challenge advantage. I'll just tell them I went to the market and make up a bullshit item description to make them believe me. 😇

Thought I already confessed but I seem to have forgotten to possibly. Me of all people. But never fear. Tonight's vote will hopefully be Arvin, hopefully if Raffy thinks he led this vote then he'll be complacent for a little bit

Trinica

I'm LIVING MY BEST LIFE!!!! Convinced AJ to go on a dead-end idol hunt so she doesn't get an advantage for the next challenge. Pretended I went to the market. Wrote a frankly inspired set of fake market descriptions for the items I "bought" with AJ and Toni's coins. It's giving ICON.

Arvin Bentonon

This is a very quiet tribal council. No strategy talk with anyone. I'm trying to switch things up.

Trinica

I'm so conflicted right now. Who is my final 3!? Toni told me Champ called her to discuss the vote, and I had no idea Toni was that close to Champ. I think Toni is pulling a Bethany-- she's so sweet and likable that she's talking to everybody and everybody trusts her. She could win on social game alone if she's brought to FTC. But I'd feel awful about turning on both her AND AJ.

I'm also so stressed about this final vote ;__; just because Arvin is so sweet. He probably is actually loyal to me, but we haven't built enough of a connection for me to feel like I can actually trust him. I've already voted but I'm so conflicted, I want to tell him his name's out there. And maybe I should since tribal isn't live! And maybe I will!

Tyler Frazier

Okay so to my knowledge the plan is Arvin…cool. Fine by me idc vote him out we don’t talk bye bye. TTYL. Later gator. It probably won’t be but like I don’t have options

Jinx

me and raffy in agreement that we are here to be 5th and 4th to trinica and toni....i PRAYED for times like these!!!!!!!!

Jayjay

So I heard 3 names were up for votes at tonight’s tribal. Trinica at first told me Aj was the vote. Then I was told I was the vote of course by what Raffys wants. And now Arvin is the last name I was told to vote since he’s playing both sides. I can’t help but want to play it safe and just go with what I’m told by everyone and go with Arvin. However, that’s what I’ve done last couple tribals and seems like I should go more with my gut and try to make a bold move now and risk it since I may be going home anyways, but the people I’m closest with don’t think it’s time to do so, so with that I have to just vote with them and hope for the best. I’m gonna kick myself in the butt if I do go with it and get voted out. But at this point I don’t feel like there’s anything I could really do on my own without being able to really have a say in my close 3 🤷🏼‍♀️ so 🤞🏻😬

Toni

Theme: It gets worse

So last time I confessed I had to tell a bold-faced lie to JayJay about voting her. This time I had to go even further to say what my message was which means I basically had to guess which one was Arvin's. This whole asking for messages was as a result of Trinica trying to clear her name even though I did what I did for the alliance. I'm trying not to take it personal but it's a good reminder that everyone is here for themselves.

I'm trying not to feel that bad about betraying JayJay because all i'm doing is sticking to my original alliance. I'm going to insist on playing a game more selfishly from now on lol. I regret falling on the sword for that last vote.

Made things so messy.

Ok Bye.

Episode Ten: "Oops I did it (almost got accidentally voted out) again " - Jinx

Tyler Frazier

Esteban’s gone this is awkward. He was a really solid number I had. This is awful for my game. Idk why Jayjay and Arvin created an alliance then immediately bailed on it but whatever

OMFG. HOLY SHIT. HOW DID THAT EVEN HAPPEN. What a wild tribal.

Arvin Bentonon

It is so hard for me to vote for Esteban. Now I'm the only Filipino left. I hope I made the right move.

I was ready to draw rocks, I really thought we were going to draw rocks but I'm happy we didn't.

Trinica

That vote was nuts, I did not expect them to target Jinx. Keep us on our toes!! I'm glad the Esteban threat is gone (RIP King, you made some snake maneuvers but it was a good game) but next up is Bethany.

I think JayJay really trusts me for some reason. She's clueing me into all her deductions and she's so confident but so wrong about everything 😭 but she's someone I can easily pull into my little trust web along with Arvin and Champ.

Jinx

oops i did it (almost got accidentally voted out) again

Toni

Theme: A series of unfortunate events.

That last tribal was such a scramble but I'm so shocked things actually worked out even while I was sleeping. This whole week feels like it's been a series of unfortunate events. From the events going on in game with my anxiety to stuff happening on holiday with family disagreements to me falling asleep last night when my vote and extra vote was needed. I'm on thin ice and I feel like i've got a lot of making up to do to people for falling asleep. I am kind of sad Esteban went because though I wasn't 100% allied with him I did consider him someone I could trust. Esteban going was the best case scenario for this particular tribal i'll be honest just to break up alliance numbers slightly.

Things came to a bit of a head yesterday when JayJay asked me if I would vote Jinx. I'm not sure who told her Jinx and I had a disagreement but it felt a little uncomfortable how the vote was posed to me so I had to shut that down. I'm not comfortable allowing a personal misunderstanding affect game. I also feel guilty that It has affected Jinx' game. I hope that was not the reason Jinx' name ended up being put up last night while I was asleep.

I do feel more relaxed especially because we're flying back tonight and I can go back to my flat and take a breather. I still have a week off work to decompress from the holiday.

Going forward in the game. I think Bethany wants to realign with us and I personally trust her. I didn't want anything breaking up our alliance anyway so. If we're able to mend fences then we can pick off the rest of tramoya but if we're not able to i've noticed how smart Jay Jay is very good at getting in between alliances. Jay Jay trusts me but I still have stronger alliances outside of her. I do feel bad that she always feels on the outs but i'm not sure what I can do about that especially because numbers are on the other side right now. For my own personal peace of mind and conscience I may have to reduce communication she's really good at convincing me.

Signing off ready for a change of environment.

Tyler Frazier

Okay…so me thinks Bethany may have voted Esteban out but that doesn’t make sense unless she was trying to keep the non men alliance in her pocket but also with all JayJay and champ have told me it just doesn’t make sense for it to have been Jayjay. Nothing makes sense but that’s okay I’m probably getting voted out next so I won’t have to deal with it long

Raffy

I feel like I am riding a high here. I did not expect that at all! So, basically, the plan all day was to get one of Champ, JayJay, or Arvin to vote with Trinica, Jinx, AJ, Toni, and me. Champ and JayJay were unwilling to vote with me, but Arvin expressed that he would have my back. I think that was due to a mix of Trinica and I having a close bond with Arvin which meant that he was more willing to keep us in the game. Then, the vote changes from Esteban to Bethany mid-day. I do not particularly know why it changed, but I know it changed. Maybe it is because Bethany would be an easier sell? I also think it was because Bethany had thrown out Arvin's name which meant that Arvin would be more willing to work with us if we told him.

During tribal council, Toni is asleep. I deadass thought my time in this game was over. This meant we did not have a majority, and I was not confident that Arvin would be willing to go to rocks for me. Also, after a last-minute scramble, the vote changed back to Esteban and I was VERY unsure whether Arvin would vote with us since the vote basically changed from under him. I felt that it made us sketchy. However, by whatever miracle, Arvin voted with us. The other side must have flipped their vote to Jinx. I was surprised. And a little upset since I did not want the only person I could fully trust to get voted out. When I saw that fifth vote for Esteban, I thought "Ok. We are going to a tie. Hopefully, I can convince Champ or JayJay to flip their votes as to not go to rocks." But I was very willing to go to rocks for Jinx all the same. However, when I tell you I was shook when that last vote for me came in! Whoever did that, whether by mistake or intention, I praise! They basically single-handedly sent Esteban out which is very good for my game.

Now, I am riding with the Hidra 4. I don't really know if they're in a tight alliance together, but if they are then I am more than willing to get 5th place for them. I am going to stick with them for as long as I can. Its time to be a loyal goat this game.

Jayjay

No matter with who or which way I vote I always seem to be on the wrong side of the votes which sucks especially feeling so sure going to tribal. I guess I should have known that tribal will never be that simple lol. Another day another challenge, which I am having to sit out due to a disadvantage cause curiosity killed the cat on the idol hunt. Now I will be sitting on the sidelines hoping and praying that votes don’t go my way for next tribal. 🤞🏻

Tyler Frazier

Idk I think I’m getting voted out

Trinica

Can't believe I didn't recognize What We Do in the Shadows, a show I've actually watched, but got the fucking Grey's Anatomy timestamp.

I'm okay with losing this one though. It's getting to the point where I think people are going to start talking and start realizing that I'm the one who told Raffy that JayJay told Bethany he had an idol, that I told JayJay Raffy was targeting her when I was the one who told him her name, that I've been pretending to feel dragged along on votes when I've essentially finagled every single person I wanted voted out. I think if not in this round, I'm going to be targeted very soon. But AJ is a bigger target, especially now that she's won immunity, so if I can survive this vote, I should be safe for a bit.

Now the question is, who to target for this next vote? Bethany is the obvious choice, but she may have an inkling already.

Tyler Frazier

I just wanna live in a world where 1. I know what’s going on and 2. I can have allies that like each other

So obvi still upset that esteban is gone. It’s awful it’s the worst and I hate it but I’m trying to be optimistic and put a positive spin on it and thinking that maybe this’ll allow me to slip under the radar again? I mean I’m not really a threat and I’m trying to play up that Bethany (probably) flipped on me to make it seem like I’m alone and should be swooped up to make a move. Hopefully it works.

OHMYGOD I can't believe I won the challenge. I've never felt more relief going into a tribal council before. I'm so busy rn so not having to worry about my name being out there is fantastic.

Idk what to think about this Tribal. I'm only hoping it goes the way we intend it to. Because at this point every tribal has gone the way I think it will so far. So idk. Praying

I say praying a lot but I am in fact not religious

Tyler Frazier

Me fears bethany is toast so I’ll be losing my two closest allies back to back

Jayjay

So it seems the vote so far is for Bethany considering she’s playing both sides. As much as I wouldn’t be opposed I don’t know if that’s the move we should make rn and have an easy vote rather then going for someone who’s more of a threat like Raffy or jinx. However at this point I’m just trying to be on the right side of votes this time lol 😂

Tyler Frazier

No yeah bethany is absolutely screwed so at this point I’m just weighing out the advantages and disadvantages of giving her the sword. Pro - Bethany or Esteban can come back! Con - Hairie can come back, if I lose bethany and esteban my threat level is basically non existent, Champ will probably be mad at me.

Toni

Theme: Crossroads

There's so much game left to play but I feel incredibly secure in my current alliance with Jinx, Trinica. These 2 I trust above everything and I know the lines between game and real life have been blurred a few times but I genuinely feel that Jinx, Trinica and I have been able to connect in game and out of game. It feels like we're all working towards the same direction and bigger picture.

I've also come to realise how smart JayJay is which I love to see but genuinely my alliances are elsewhere. I love Tyler but because we don't talk game I don't feel any type of way if I had to vote him out. I'd just miss our chats haha. Equally with champ I wouldn't feel too bad because we don't talk as much. I guess we're at a crossroads right now of not knowing whether or not to burn certain bridges.

I feel a little bad for Arvin. I worry about him feeling included. I wonder if he's making genuine connections or whether he knows/thinks we all just talk to him to swing his vote - that can't feel good. Whenever I don't have to and he's online I do try not to talk to him about game but who knows his silence may just be the effects of time difference.

AJ is a huge worry in this game and has become a threat because she is really good at getting information out of me and asks very direct questions. She's also really good at directing a conversation and bending it to her will haha. AJ for president honestly. She's such a powerful player! I do think we'd need to vote her out soon though. <3

Signing off at peace with my game and my vote for the first time in a while. :)

Bethany

Honestly pretty sure it is me going home and I'm happy about that! Tyler is the only person who talks to me at all and I literally have been doomed this entire game since the swap and am surprised I even made it this far! My mental health is like so low right now because of irl things - nothing to do with the game and I simply do not have the energy.

I voted Raffy last round because I assumed that Jayjay and Champ felt fine with Arvin since they didn't express any worries and I didn't think he would flip! Champ is like taking it personally saying that I am insulting her intelligence by not owning up to voting Esteban WHEN I DIDNT EVEN VOTE ESTEBAN like this game is ridiculous, I don't even like relying on pregames, it feels like cheating in a way to me and I'm just over all of it. If Champ had not relied on our pregame relationship and had actually tried to be a good ally to Tyler and I on the swapped tribe, I would have never even been in that situation!! Her making Tyler/Esteban/I lie about who flipped did us 0 favors, only protected her, Jayjay and Raffy had no reason to like me after all that, it was suspicious asf "not knowing" who the fourth vote was, and it quite literally only protected her. So she can be mad at me all she wants, I quite honestly think it's ridiculous that I'm just expected to play everyone elses games and that me playing the game is being taken as insulting someones intelligence like it's just too far for me and I don't have the mental energy to deal with that.

AJ is claiming the Raffy vote and I have no idea why and like I literally just can't dig myself out of this hole so ya can't wait to go to pondy and ignore this game as much as humanly possible until ftc <3 Tyler wants to use the sword thing to have me do a battleback but I just don't even want to, I just want to not have to worry about this game anymore.

Raffy

Toni created an alliance chat between AJ, Jinx, Trinica, and me. I think this alliance is something I've been craving since Hairie got voted out. So, I am all good to ride to Final 5 with these people. Our plan right now is to split the vote between Bethany and JayJay. Trinica and AJ have been feeling wary about Bethany for a while now, but they fear that she may have an idol. Additionally, JayJay, Champ, and Tyler have all gone to people (who are not me) saying that they think Bethany flipped on them. They think that AJ voted me last tribal which means they also think Bethany voted Esteban. So, they seem to be of the mindset that Bethany cannot be trusted. Everyone has pushed to get Bethany votes by solidifying with Tyler, Champ, and JayJay. However, in case they are lying to use, our split plan has a win-win scenario. Two of us will vote for Bethany while four of us will vote for JayJay (I am including Arvin in here because the alliance trusts that they will have his vote for this tribal council). Arvin and Trinica will vote for Bethany. This means that either Bethany goes in a 5-4-1 or 5-5 (revote we just vote Bethany), Bethany uses an idol and JayJay goes, or (if JayJay, Champ, and Tyler are actually voting with Bethany have been tricking us) it goes to a 4-4-2 vote where we vote out JayJay. The one flaw of this plan is that we need Arvin to vote with us. If he doesn't, then the plan is toast. I do not think we'll tell him the intimate details of the plan. I think we are just saying to target Bethany. He should heave reason to vote for her considering she threw out his name last tribal AND everyone else is seemingly doing it. I am putting my faith in him again!

Tyler Frazier

So bethany and I have come to the conclusion that it’s probably best for me not to give her the sword and just cut my losses. Hopefully the rest of the players are willing tk recognize that I’m alone and pick me up as a number moving forward to take out the big players in the game like AJ, Jinx, and Raffy (Trinica is also on my radar, they’re really coming into their own as a player). But honestly my game since the start of merge has been god awful so…yeah.

Arvin Bentonon

Getting used to waking up at 5am just to know who are we voting for.

Jinx

they tried to kill me BUT IM STILL HERE!!!! (the name of the episode title this round when i get voted out)

Trinica

Omg not Bethany telling me she thinks I'm playing one of the best games and that she'd love to vote for me at final tribal!!!! That's both sweet and terrifying, my game is hinging on nobody noticing i'm playing a game ;__;

I feel like Bethany and I had a good real talk conversation tonight, knowing she's likely going home. She's such a good player and it's an honor to hear she thinks I'm doing well! I just hope she didn't tell anyone else (and I'm glad she didn't say my name at tribal, but oof @ her saying it's a member of OG Hidra and that she told them outright)

Not me getting anxious after Bethany's message in the chat while having immunity. Though I do worry now that I'll be a much bigger target, I do think it's alright for now since every 'betrayal' has been for the purpose of the core four of pink venom.

episode nine: "I’m just a turkey, gobble gobble" - Jayjay

Trinica

not me crying over a vote LOL I swore i wouldn't get emotional over a game. But like I feel awful about leaving Jinx out of this vote. Toni came to me worried about Jinx and like, I've been worried too (mostly that she'll get too close to Raffy) but mostly frustrated that Jinx always argues every vote we decide on in pink venom. But Toni was like ADAMANT that we can't trust Jinx, and still is, which is confusing because they voted the way we thought they would!!!

Idk idk idk this just sucks. I wanted pink venom to go all the way, I wish it could have. I wish we had stuck together because this just feels awful and I don't know where to go from here. I thought I was cut out to be a villain but I'm not!!

Jayjay

Well that tribal was absolutely insane. Now all I have that I know I can really rely on is Champ. We’re hoping to band together with others like Esteban, Tyler, Bethany, and Arvin to have the numbers and I’m sure they would feel the same considering they were basically all screwed over by Raffy and other members on Hidra. I thought for sure it was me tonight, but thankful it wasn’t. I’m still in shock at how Jinx came out throwing my name out there to everyone as well as Raffy when I wasn’t much of a threat in this game. However, this tribal council has showed me and hopefully others who everyone really is and how they want to play. I will not play a silent game anymore. They want to vote me out, I’m gonna make sure it’s for a valid reason and show them I am a force to be reckoned with. All I know is that they chose the wrong side and they’re gonna regret it.

Tyler Frazier

So like 2 hours ago I was miserable and hated my spot within the game…right now? I don’t feel to bad about it. My main alliance ended up sort of in the middle of the game so we can choose between Jayjay Champ and Arvin and the non men group with Raffy kinda just there. This could be an awful read and we will see when we go to next tribal but I’m just trying to be optimistic

Well fuck me I guess. Lmao I can't believe a quarter of our tribe voted for me. Knew it knew it knew it. But yeah I feel like some things have shifted and we can't let anyone know they've shifted. So those are my thoughts rn, hoping no one feels betrayed, I know Jinx will and I'm actually sorry I didn't tell her my plan she was just causing such a scramble with everyone trying to do everything to make her happy this vote. It's a little crazy, but I love her and I hope she has no hard feelings.

Bethany

i am never joining a non-men’s alliance again

This morning has not gone how I thought it would be going. It started off with me wondering who all voted me. I think it was Hairie, Arvin, and JayJay. I asked Champ if she voted me just in case, I honestly don't know where whomever voted Hairie with us got his name from which is a little bit of an issue. I do think it was Champ who voted with us though.

Trinica

Oof okay, I'm in a slightly better space having taken the night off from game-ing. But I woke up still feeling super frustrated by the stuff Jinx was saying to me last night. They're acting as if we targeted them, or Raffy (who they talk about needing to protect from past experiences but...nobody is actively targeting Raffy and he's also an Adult). We just attempted to split the vote without telling her because she would have stopped us (and in fact did twice earlier that day) when we tried to discuss it. We were an hour away from tribal with no vote settled on and it was maybe 15 mins before tribal that I came up with Hairie. There was literally no time to have a long conversation with Jinx in which all she would say is "I'm not voting Raffy" even when nobody was suggesting she would.

Tyler Frazier

So some info I learned last night -Toni really wants to work with me (slay! glad it is mutual) -JayJay also wants to work with me now! (Feels out of necessity but at least people finally want to work with me outside of the 2-3 people I’ve had the whole time) -Jinx was upset ab the vote (whatever you wanted Raffy to stay and he did) -Oh yeah speaking of that! Jinx really wanted Raffy to stay (interesting…) -Bethany accidentally ratted out the Hairie plan not knowing Jinx didn’t know (ya know that’s sorta not her fault they were the ones who made it so confusing) -Jinx wants me out bc I’m a white man (meh I will live. Already knew they didn’t wanna work with me now I know why) - Hairie had an idol and didn’t play it for some reason when he knew that either he or one of his closest allies were being voted out (I’m cool with it) ALSO I WILL CRY IF AJ GOT HER ADVANTAGE FROM THE FEAST BC LIKE THAT MEANS MORE THAN ONE PERSON COULD HAVE AN EXTRA VOTE AND I HATE IDOLS AND ADVANTAGES

Ok on a more light note. Now that it's after the morning, I can see how it's just a very high emotion sort of tribal. Not excusing ppl, but yeah. Also I think I'll give some fun positive things about people to cheer myself up and say smth nice.

Jinx: unafraid to speak her mind and be chaotic. We love that sort of energy in general.

JayJay: we've never talked but I think if things were different she'd have been cool to work with

Champ: has great hair. 10/10 when I see it I get envious. Super peppy and fun to talk to!

Arvin: ball of sunshine. Can't really say bad things about him, he's super helpful and friendly.

Raffy: unapologetic and we appreciate that energy here.

Tyler: also a twin, vibes are great, seems super fun and I wish we talked more.

Esteban: honestly just such a great person to talk to, love chatting with him it's so much fun

Bethany: she's a queen what else can I say. we stan

Toni: honestly just super honest and a kind genuine person, great vibes and so helpful/supportive

Trinica: my ride or die, if I don't win I want her to, one of the coolest people I know

Arvin Bentonon

I'm sitting out the challenge again, now because of a disadvantage. Huhu

Jayjay

I miss Hairie and wish he was still in the game. I like Raffy as a person, and i have nothing against AJ or Jinx. I felt so offended last night and felt like an idiot for placing trust in people where I guess I should have been more cautious. With so many people coming to me right after tribal saying Hairie basically planned for me to be the vote was just insane to me and made me feel so betrayed considering he was my number one person. However after taking time off and thinking about everything I do still think and would love to believe that he did have my back 100% till the end and I feel terrible for thinking the opposite. I didn’t feel like I could trust anyone at all. But it’s a new day now and I’m feeling a lot better mentally and physically. However it’s been pretty lonely without him around to talk to. I miss you Hairie and I’m sorry for ever doubting you and your trust even though it was for a second, it just didn’t feel right! 😢 I’ll make sure to write confessions on a clear leveled head on not based off of rampant emotions.

Toni

Theme: Self-Care

The greatest act of self-care to me is showing up as your authentic self. The last tribal was a really emotionally charged one. Having taking some time to reflect I have definitely gained perspective but also have a lot of decisions to make. I’m at a crossroads where my only confirmed ally 100% is Trinica. We’re trying to decide between working with jinx and Raffy / Aj / champ, Jay Jay and Tyler / Esteban, Tyler, Bethany. All of those groups believe we have an alliance with them in some way.

One things I’ve managed to clear up during this time is that I’m going to continue to show up as my authentic self because whether is game smart or not my true nature is coming through and I’m most proud of that.

P.S. Jay was born to moderate the way they deescalated the last few days with authority, care and clarity has been inspiring.

Signing off heard and held. ❤️

Trinica

I've had a long talk with Jinx last night and today and think we're in a place we might be able to move forward working together. Same with Raffy today. I'm worried because my strategy this far has been to be super friendly to everyone, let others put names out first, etc. But I think people are going to see through the middle of the road stuff and realize I'm pulling a lot of strings behind the scenes. So far only 1 person seems to think I'm a threat (and it's probably AJ lol) according to the tribe survey thing. But I think that could very well change.

I also don't want to lie to people anymore because it's exhausting 😭 but if I'm friendly with everyone I'm inevitably going to have to lie.

I have a strong chance at winning immunity. Praying I win. Judging by how votes are going I really hope I'm not even on the table.

Raffy

I was left out of the vote last time and I feel some type of way about it. So, I am in my protecting my peace era. If people want to talk to me, then they can approach me. I don't care enough to approach people. If that gets me voted out, oh well. I had a good run. Genuinely don't think I'm gonna win so instead I will just be Viking and having a good time.

The challenge was fun. Was very relaxed.

Trinica and I talked some strategy. We brought up the possibility of Toni being tight with Esteban, Tyler, and Bethany. We both said we wanted Esteban out next. Toni doesn't give me trustworthy vibes. She will do what suits her and what's best for her. Good for her.

AJ talked to me a little. They seem good.

Honestly, I just want Esteban out and am just gonna hope people do as well. I'm vibing.

Trinica won and I'm leaving. Goodbye.

Tyler Frazier

So Trinica won immunity and that’s cool. Wasn’t gonna target them. So that’s slay! I’m not really sure what I’m gonna try and make happen ag this tribal bc Esteban Bethany and I have two options. Champ and JayJay or the Hidra 4. Either way we would like to bring Toni in with us bc she feels she is on the outs so it’s more the Hidra 3. I’m just not sure if it’s too early to take out Jinx or not but when that conclusion is reached you should get an update 🙃. Hopefully I’m safe I’ve been pretty under the radar and the only people who have reasons to vote me out are Raffy who is more focused on Esteban and Jinx and from my understanding people don’t like Jinxs reasoning for targeting me so I’m not worried ab that one too much

Trinica

I WON IMMUNITY!!!!!!! I didn't need it, but it's always nice to have.

AJ and I talked for like 2 hours to figure out our longterm strategy. I got her to come around off of voting Raffy and onto voting Esteban. It's a risky move for sure, but I really want Raffy to trust me and that is the way to do it. Right now we've bonded through being betrayed by Esteban in some sense. Toni doesn't want him gone, but has said she'll go with the numbers. I'm going to try to convince her tomorrow that the potential of a Bethany/Tyler/Esteban alliance is dangerous and that she doesn't have Esteban in her pocket as much as she thinks.

Jinx will vote with me and Raffy and AJ. Arvin is a wild card but it'll just be getting to him first. And that'll give us numbers, but to maintain the bridge with Bethany, I'm going to see if there's any universe in which she votes Esteban out. And if there isn't, well, that tells us she's more loyal to that alliance than to Pink Venom.

Tyler Frazier

Actually I lied apparently the Nons men alliance is dead so…yeah there’s that

Esteban

Last tribal was so intense. Raffy called me out being a snake and i m unfortunately just respond to it intensely. Sorry thats me, i don’t like confrontations but when called out i do respond.

The self- scavenger hunt challenge is pretty cool and much needed. I was able to complete it all but unfortunately couldn’t be there for the tiebreaker as i am really sick. I am happy trinica won!

Today, i’ve heard that Raffy is campaigning really hard against me and that makes sense. I respect it. My vote is for him anyways regardless of the outcome (or it might change depending on the talks)

I hope this tribal will be an easy and peaceful one!

Wiggity, cheetos!

Jayjay

Of course there’s already 2 names being thrown out there for tribal tonight. I’m not surprised that they would be Esteban or Raffy. I’m gonna Vite tonight with what I think would help my personal game and I think the obvious vote tonight would be for Raffy considering he’s a bigger threat then Esteban is in the social game and in challenges. We also know he doesn’t have an immunity idol so I feel now would be the best time to make that move. However tribals are never really that simple so I guess we’ll just have to wait and see what kind of chaos will happen when it does! 🫣

Tyler Frazier

Okay so MY plan for tonight bc I’m sure there’s like 8000 is to use Raffy as the decoy name and then blindside Jinx with Jayjay Bethany Champ Arvin Esteban and myself. Raffy is kinda just on an island of his own at this point and after last tribal he doesn’t have an idol (to my knowledge) so like what’s the point? Obvi I think he’s a threat to my game but as long as esteban is here I know that’ll be his priority whereas Jinx is much more dangerous for me specifically

Raffy

I’m still sitting here hoping Esteban gets voted out but now Toni (because of course it’s Toni 🙄) has decided to get cold feet once again. Now she’s trying to get the votes on JayJay or Arvin. Honestly just vote me out at this point. No reason to stay here if no one is a) willing to talk to me and b) hear me out and listen to me.

Jayjay

I really can’t help but laugh at this point… kind of excited to see how tribal is gonna go down tonight even if it’s me who gets voted out… this game is just making people go wild at this point. I’m just a turkey, gobble gobble.

Tyler Frazier

So Raffy just played the alliance revealer thing on Esteban and I think Esteban handled it pretty well…then Jay called him out in his lie which wasn’t great but ya know the damage is done. Hopefully it doesn’t ruin the 6 we just formed bc Jayjay did get sussed out by it.

Champagne

Honestly trying to catch up, I haven’t been super active and I’m really trying to stay under the radar. Nobody views me as a threat so my strategy going forward is to stay on everyone’s good side and keep talking to everyone.

Arvin Bentonon

Right now, I don't know who to trust

Jinx

i’m a gemini rising and it’s showing this round!

Bethany

honestly like way too much is going on still and i'm very much In The Middle and i don't like it!!!!!!!!!!!!! someone is going to be upset with me no matter how i vote this tribal and i'm sad becuase i don't like making people upset.

on one side, we have the efforts to revive pink venom, but they want to vote jayjay or champ and that's just not happening for me personally. but like the only name i would agree to in that group would be raffy and that seems like a death wish to try and push that in that group ever again.

"strong 6" was made today of me, tyler, champ, jayjay, arvin, and esteban which i am solidly vibing with but they want to vote jinx and i can't really push against that but i don't want to write jinx's name down

and then toni kind of wants to votes raffy i think but idk about anyone else from pink venom

raffy is clearly targeting esteban so like that's no shock. but i don't understand who he thinks is voting with him? just jinx? maybe aj? i'm not sure.

kind of just want to throw my vote on raffy because i don't think that aj/toni/trinica/jinx/raffy will all vote together and even if they did, it would be 5-5-1 and i can just play dumb or whatever aksdjfalksjf i just don't want to write jinx's name down but maybe i just will have to and apologize to everyone later i really don't know i'm not having fun everyone seems unenthusiastic at this point and like this is more of a chore than something fun which i completely get but it's killing my vibe too

Trinica

Another exhausting tribal day! It's not just managing your alliance, it's also managing your fake alliances and making sure those chats don't go dormant for too long.

I tried to reignite pink venom, but it fizzled. We've lost Bethany to the dark side, which I suspected would happen. If she would only have said she'd vote Esteban, she'd be able to stay another day. But alas!

The tricky part about tonight's vote is Arvin. I keep telling everyone he's a solid vote, but he's so scared of AJ at this point that he might just flip. If I were him, I would flip. He has a better shot with Champ and JayJay. But I told him Bethany suggested him as a vote tonight, so hopefully that pulls him with us. I had to tell him Bethany also suggested AJ and that's why I trust AJ to vote with us this time. He took half an hour to respond to me, which could be Classic Arvin Response Times OR could be that he's running everything I say to him past the girls. That would suck. But worst case scenario, we have Toni's extra vote, which will put us at a tie.

Episode Eight: "May the odds be with me or not" - Esteban

Champagne

Ooooffff that tribal yikes, I’m really upset Brandi left bc I loved her but Bethany is always gonna be my true alliance and I never wanted to vote against my majority alliance but at least I made a power move🤪

Jayjay

*gasping for air* 👀 👀 👀 👀

Tyler Frazier

We just merged and guess what…I’m in an awful position! But that’s nothing new I’ve been in the same spot the entire game. I’m not on the bottom of one alliance I am on the bottom of 2! Actually I’m in neither of the majority alliances so that’s great! Plus I burned Raffy at the last tribal so I would not be shocked if he comes for me at this upcoming vote 🥰

Jayjay

Well that was a WILD tribal council. I didn’t think that a tromoya would flip right before merge but I’m not completely surprised. All I’m trying to figure out now is if my gut keeps telling me I’m Right about Raffy then it was him although I want so badly to be able to trust him! And if it was Brandi I’m glad she is gone. However my gut is really not letting me just go with the obvious and I’m thinking Champ or Raffy flipped. So either Champ is lying to Hairie and I and playing us. OR Raffy is really great at putting on a whole show and making us believe him to cover up his tracks. Either way I’m wary of both and only trust Hairie at this point.! On the bright side…. I made it to merge!!!! 🙏🏻🥹 🎉

Trinica

I picked the merge tribe name, another Survivor bucket list item crossed off! Tromoya's tribal was WILD and idk if it's my ADHD ass but I can't make head nor tails of what exactly happened or who's on whose side, so I'm excited to get the rundown from Bethany tomorrow. It seems like Raffy's in his feelings about folks not voting for Bethany and claimed he would flip at merge if they want to rocks, which is giving emotional player, which always makes me nervous. I like predictability and logic! But it is fun to watch, at least. Raffy actually seems really cool, I'd love to work with him. I just don't know if I could trust him.

I reached out to Tyler because Raffy shut him down with the QUICKNESS at tribal with his "I wasn't talking to you." It's the most Tyler's talked to me all game lol. I'm shocked that he stuck with Bethany and didn't flip, I apologize for saying there was no way he didn't immediately flip.

I'm honestly just exhausted today, I'm getting sick and just don't have energy to have multiple conversations AND work on this damn immunity challenge. I think I've already lost it to Raffy but I'm going to try my hardest because I wouldn't be surprised if AJ or I got targeted.

Hairie

This one is gonna be a STORY.

We lost the challenge and headed to tribal. I honestly didn't want Bethany to go and told her if she can get votes for Tyler we can push it through.

Being in a different timezone and all I was scared to go to sleep because I didn't want to miss out on strategising while the rest are up since its daytime for them but me knocking out minutes after !!!

An hour before tribal, I found out that my name is going around and for that reason I didn't want to sleep but didn't want to waste any more time so I got to scrambling and immediately told Jay I'll be 50/50 playing the idol tonight.

Come tribal .. It was a 4 votes Bethany and 4 votes for me and at this point I was internally screaming that I should have played the idol. Trusting the people that I stuck out for and a pretty insane tribal at that, the votes stayed the same after revoting and calling out each other and drawing the alliance lines right there and then, it was rocks. There seems to be a plan to go to rocks and in my head at this time was yelling Brandi flipped internally ( I could be wrong) but that was my judgement then. Rocks came and Brandi went home and if she did flipped, the rocks went our way and I still get to keep my idol.

I don't know who or how or when my name is being thrown around about me having an idol. I didn't have it only until recently at the market and that was by chance because Raffy didn't want the sweater.

Also kinda shocked Esteban called me out about not wanting to get to know him but I'm pretty sure I did though but all is good on that because it could be just how we interpreted the messages.

First individual immunity challenge was ... A LOT again screaming internally. (Takes a sip of coconut juice).

I was actually pretty shocked I found the first page pretty quick like I did 200-400 and then 111-199 then 900-999 and finally decided to go in the middle with 600 ... 617 Kaboom if I didn't had to prepare for work I would probably have located it in under an hour.

I screamed so many times during this challenge "Winterbell" "agar.io" and "2048" but the most difficult for me was the jigsaw puzzle , took me nearly 2 hours and then around 1 hour++ I checked back the Tumblr post and notice the image was right there smack in my face all this time MY GOODNESS.

Challenge made me feel all sorts of things > laugh, cry, scream, angry, frustrated but glad that it was over.

Getting to know the remaining casts as well and I like Trinica. Been getting to know a lot about her and some truths about Hidra and past tribal councils. She even gifted me a 10% advantage when she bought bread at the market. I do believe in good gestures and we can work together to vote out our targets if they don't win immunity.

and that's the tea from Hairie ~

So much has happened recently, it's super insane. Got my first tribal shoutout, ayyyyy. Seems like for the most part Raffy and Hairie want to work with me though so I'm not too worried about that all things considered. It seems like I could actually win this individual immunity, trying not to get my hopes up too high, better confessional will be up soonTyler FrazierTbh winning just is not my vibe this game. Like it’s just really not gonna happen. But that is okay! Here for a good time not a long one ig

Arvin Bentonon

1 hour left and I didn't even started the challenge. Huhu

Trinica

ESTEBAN!!!!! YOU LITTLE SNAKE!!!!!!! Miss me with the apology tour bullshit if you're going to turn around and tell Toni you're only apologizing to get me as a number and pick me off later! I keep thinking maybe he's changing his tune. But nope. an apology call after each backstab is smart gameplay, but only the first time my friend.

I want him O U T. But I'm about to play his game lol because I do need his vote at least for this first tribal. Tromoya might just win this because Hidra cannibalizes itself.

Raffy

Welp its been a fun ride, but I'm going home soon. No point in fighting the inevitable at this point lol. There really is no chance for this cocky bitch to win lmao. Everyone has already decided who I am for me. Can't change their opinions now.

Arvin Bentonon

Now, I really need to step up my game. This will serve as a wake up call for me to not take for granted individual immunities. I'm gonna fight til the end.

Trinica

I hope nobody is paying too much attention to the touchy subjects results because...it could kind of blow up my game. Not me getting 2 votes for closest ally!! I'm assuming it's Jinx and Toni BUT it's awkward because I didn't put either of them, and nobody put Toni. I think I can convince Jinx I put her if necessary, but I worry Toni will start feeling insecure in the vecepia alliance.

I also got a vote for who has an idol and who will win if they're not voted out , I honestly feel like both of those came from AJ because I voted her for both categories as well. We're playing Rusdian Roulette with this alliance (is that the right metaphor?)

Thankfully, she has 5 other people who think she's playing too hard. I think that result is what will pull attention, hopefully. Using AJ as a shield has always been the game plan, but she's making herself TOO much of a target at the moment.

Tyler Frazier

Raffy and Hairie are running a smear campaign on Esteban and I currently and Bethany is trying to defend us. Hope she does good work like the girlboss she is. However for me it’s just a bit odd for Hairie and Raffy to try and come for Esteban and I because what’s their argument? We know about the non mens alliance from them? They didn’t do whatever we wanted? We quite literally saved someone in their alliance when Bethany could have been a easy vote and would have made the merge a lot less messy. I hope that the 4 of them can see that and side with us and when it comes time to talk game I’m gonna make that clear to them aswell.

Esteban

First of all, my sincerity apology for not being able to play the challenge. It has been a long day. I hope this will not happen again (fingers cross)

So, Tony called me and told me about Raffy calling out my name and Tyler’s name. And it was confirmed by Bethany that Raffy really started to pulling the girls on his side. (Which I respect). But we will not backdown on this battle. I started talking to the HIDRA girls with exception of Jinx yet (as she might not available or just don’t wanna talk to me yet) and come clear and accepted my fault of calling their alliance out. I hope that would help. And I voting with Bethany should be a testimony that i wanna still work with them again until near end.

I hope with the backing of Toni and bethany that I will survive yet another tribal. But if not then no regrets, i played with my best and satisfied. Period. :)

And oh yes. Raffy started the war. So the only thing to do is to end it. May the odds be with me or not. :)

Jinx

merge jinxcast 🫶🏽💕 “i know i’m playing like a villain but i have a hero’s heart” https://voca.ro/1hdoVXSHz6HJ

i talk about where i’ve been, where i’m going, what weighs heavy and what could be better than i could even imagine. who i’ll be at the end of this journey and what does it mean to truly want something for yourself?

Toni

Theme: Struggle life.

I’ve come to terms with the fact that this has been a relatively game for most of the returnees but the way my anxiety is set up. I’m anxious every tribal even though my name isn’t up.

I’m also currently on holiday with the family. So struggle life trying to participate.

Signing off struggling.

Trinica

It's possible I'm being blindsided but I really think I'm running this vote. Raffy seems to trust me, Hairie and Arvin put me into a chat together and seem to trust me, Esteban thinks I've bought his BS (unless Bethany told him otherwise). I told Raffy Esteban's saying his name, I told Esteban Raffy's saying he's spreading my name around. I suggested to both we vote for JayJay to flush out the idol that the other might have. It's just beautiful. Everything is working according to plan.

JayJay is a boring vote but one that will cement Hidra in the majority without me having to sacrifice these new alliances.

My only worry is Bethany, who I think at this point is much more aligned with Tyler and Esteban than she ever was with us. I don't trust her at all.

Raffy

The strategy this round has been kind of crazy. I’ve basically given myself over to AJ and Trinica. I have made it very clear and explicit to a few people that I want Esteban to be taken out of this game. I want him gone because I just don’t know if I can ever really trust him at this point. He’s a person who smiles to your face while they’re stabbing you in the back. I believe he never really had any intention in working with me. Also it’s interesting hearing AJ’s side of the story as it makes Esteban out to be the person who overplayed. Anyways, I want him gone. Trinica was very receptive at first, but idol paranoia is at an all time high. She wants to flush any idols Esteban may have so she suggested that we actually vote for JayJay so that he doesn’t see it coming. I feel bad because I know JayJay hasn’t been feeling well and I don’t want to seem like I’m betraying old Tromoya. However, Trinica also told me that JayJay told Bethany that I have an idol. That’s definitely suspicious. If whoever voted with Bethany last tribal wanted Tromoya never to work together or wanted us to take each other out because of paranoia, it worked. Because all last tribal managed to do was give Hidra numbers, Bethany power in this game, and Tromoya to not be unified coming into merge. Congrats to those people. So I’m very hesitant to trust that JayJay didn’t vote for Hairie. Especially considering that she was expressing extreme hesitance in voting for Bethany. I don’t who to trust anymore. I just want Esteban out of this game. I don’t know if I’ll use my idol because maybe I won’t even need it to succeed and will need it later. But, how can I trust anyone if they all just think im the biggest threat. This game is too hard. If only we could go back to the OG plan of voting Esteban

Tyler Frazier

I just felt like I should give a confessional but I honestly don’t know what to say because every plan I’ve been told makes absolutely no sense and nobody cares enough about me to actually ask and or consider how I think the vote should go. Tempted to take a nap and wake up before tribal and just ask who I’m supposed to vote.

Honestly I think this round alone makes survivor Gabon look like a master class in gameplay bc we are all just collectively as a cast not slaying gameplay wise. At least we aren’t a boring cast though!

Trinica

Jinx I am begging you.....I am BEGGING YOU............please stop throwing wrenches in the voting plan 3 hours before tribal. PLEASE

Bethany

okay honestly this round is the biggest hot mess i have ever seen in my entire life.

first off all - i fucking slayed that challenge so hard and for what??? i could have taken a nap in the middle of it and still won. literally slackers :yawn: can't wait to be targeted next round for being an immunity threat <33

second of all - WHY DO PEOPLE IN PINK VENOM STILL THINK THERE IS ANY SEMBLANCE OF SECRET ABOUT ITS EXISTENCE????????? it literally could not possibly be more exposed and it is so irritating trying to work around these random nonsense split vote plans

third of all - champ is such an annoying ally this game i seriously can't with her much longer. she is MIA 24/7, does not advocate for tyler and i in any way, has no clue what is going on, and overall is just not someone i want to work with at this point!! i think she would honestly be in a much better position if she had committed to flipping to us and not having all of us lie and pretend its BRANDI WHO LITERALLY SAID SHE DID NOT FLIP it is the most unbelievable story ever and irritating because like ..... what is the point???

at this point i want to be voted off before ftc because i can't even explain any of this. it is so messy for no reason. also not a fan of pink venom all being so buddy buddy with raffy all of a sudden! it's really pissing me off when the entire reason i was targeted was because god forbid i worked with them again come merge and now that is exactly what raffy is doing here! glad to know it's cool for him but not me! KASJDF;LKDJSFKDSAFJKLDSAJF i can't i can't i can't not a single soul is playing this round well except maybe arvin because that man has said not a peep and that's smart as fuck like you go little goat give us nothing!!! it's better than the rest of this!!

Champ acting like we can orchestrate an entire vote with only 3 of us 90 minutes before tribal <33 ma'am.

vibes of everyone this tribal:

AJ/Trinica - proposing crazy splits that don't add up mathematically, in denial about pink venom being a secret Toni - just vibes Arvin - who? Champ/Jayjay - clueless era Esteban - paranoid Hairie - no idea Jinx - in love with raffy Raffy - controlling everyone because they are sheep who believe anything they hear, king who needs to be taken out Tyler/I - lord help us

Tyler Frazier

I have had to take Tylenol two times today from the headaches I’ve gotten trying to figure out what’s happening tonight. Anyways I’ll be back when I know who I’m supposed to vote and I’ll probably still be confused and or annoyed

Bethany

not trinica calling an alliance with AJ in it the “non-chaotic” players

Tyler Frazier

I’m gonna vote for Hairie bc that’s what I was told but apparently that’s not the real plan. Or it is. Who knows? Not me Esteban or Bethany

Hairie

Sleeping and waking up to last minute scrambling again. Turns out it was me and wrong to trust Trinica and a few others. Going out with the cutest outfit ever and first member of the Jury. I'm rooting for Raffy Jayjay or Trinica to win.

Episode Seven: "I’m crying in my cake" - Brandi

Tyler Frazier

Okay. So. I talked about how I built a relationship with Raffy and how I’d like to sort of use that going forward but I also did two other things in that conversation. I tried to cautiously defend my girl bethany bc they’re only sketched out by her bc they are misogynists and I also tried to set up AJ to be the merge boot with Raffy running the vote. I did this by talking about how scared AJ is of returning players and how she did research on them which scared Raffy bc he already thinks she’s obsessed with him. If it works it would further establish him as a threat so that way when we decide to stop picking off members of the Hidra 4 they’re not gonna be looking at me, bethany or Esteban but more so as Raffy as the biggest threat and Hairie as someone generally sketchy. This is all assuming we win the challenge (🤞) and I don’t have to throw Hairie under the bus to try and save Bethany btw but you’ll be getting confessionals from me then too so I’ll keep you all posted!

Toni

Theme: The Merge Is Uncharted Waters

We were so close to potentially winning this last challenge. I wish we did because we needed some sort of number for this next one. Zach is going today because he has not yet listened to Renaissance - thats legitimately why. JK.

Merge is going to be uncharted waters but lets try and win this next one first!

Signing off about to 'dive in'.

Hairie

Tribal was expected, another OG Tromoya going hope but what’s interesting was it was Zach instead of Arvin. If Zach was the one that flipped 2 tribals before, then Zach’s been played. 🤣

Toni might have some agenda for wanting to target returning players so I’m hoping they spice up their next tribal before merge to take out Jinx since it’s all new players having the numbers over there. Yes I said that right, Tromoya is gonna win this last tribe challenge.

Honestly thinking of throwing this challenge so Arvin can be safe next tribal. He’s a number for me for sure and we can take out Tyler or Esteban (keeping Bethany) but it’s not about an individual (me) thing right now. In such a frazzle dazzle situation right now because I don’t want this to come back and bite me from my behind. It’s my asset we’re talking about here.

God has let me live another day and I'm going to make it everybody's problem.

In reality though I'm super thankful to still be around and now here's to hoping I can make merge and at least be eliminated onto the jury.

Tyler Frazier

This is so awk. I didn’t wanna do this at all I suggested it as a joke like “chapstick taser” really. That’s what y’all loved? Come on.

Bethany

another day, another confessional about me hoping we win the challenge!!! if i do make the merge, im causing chaos 😇 these og tribal lines are boringgggg 🥱

Tyler Ftazier

ITS NOT EVEN A FREAKING INVENTION IT LITERALLY EXISTS TOO LIKE THATS THE WORST PART

Arvin Bentonon

I am happy to be here. Huhu

Trinica

Not to be *that person* but I hate group projects actually!!! Toni and I are bonded together by how frustrating it is to try to get anything organized on this tribe. Too many different ideas floating around on this shark tank idea, not enough working on what actually needs to be done- the pitch video. Like, it doesn't matter how much supplemental shit we have if we don't have the one deliverable required for the challenge. I couldn't say this at tribal but I CANNOT WAIT for individual immunity challenges. Oof.

I think Toni's going to ace this video, but I honestly don't think we'll have enough footage of us to pull it together for a win. I really wanted to do an infomercial but nobody seems inclined to work on the script or film anything so!!! It's fine!!!

Toni

This challenge has been hard and lonely. I think everyone is exhausted though - the challenge to tribal pipeline has been difficult. Slightly glad group challenges are over? Hoping individual challenges are a little less work.

Hairie

I think creative challenges could be my downfall because I don't think I'm that entirely creative. Doing the best and hope my contributions were enough for this Shark Tank. Enough not to be voted out that is.

So far, our tribe has come up with loads of stuff for the challenge - from graphs, reviews, posters, video and even a presentation. Collectively, I feel good that we might win this again and avoid the last tribal council as Tromoya just right before we shift into individual portion of the season.

Alright we’re like, almost done with this challenge I think, and so far I’d say I feel actually pretty confident in us right now. It’s really tricky because we don’t know what the other tribe is doing or has done or how much effort they’re putting into this, but I can only hope they haven’t gone as hard as we have.

Raffy

I sat out because I didn't want to think about if I should throw or not. Honestly, I'm perfectly fine with losing or winning. There are pros to each. If we lose, I get to vote out Bethany and then I feel a little more comfortable going into merge. If we win, Arvin gets voted out which means I do not have to worry about Arvin being a traitor to Tromoya.

Trinica

Why am I always so grumpy in these lol. I *think* we may be able to pull this challenge off? Maybe? I wish we had more clips from our tribe in our video but maybe that won't matter.

This challenge has really made me warm up to Arvin as well, so I do hope we win so that he won't have to go home.

Tyler Frazier

Oh my god. How did they mess up the challenge THIS BAD. Jesus Christ. It’s so frustrating and it’s not even that I’m worried I’m gonna be booted it’s more so the fact that saving Bethany is not gonna be easy and champ wants to offer minimal support so that if she has to flip she isn’t suspected. LIKE MAYBE IF WE HAD PEOPLE BACKING US IT WOULD BE EASIER TO TARGET HAIRIE? MAYBE TELLING YOUR TRIBE TO STAY STRONG WONT SAVE BETHANY? Idk though maybe I’m the one who’s wrong here.

Brandi

im literally at a wedding rn I’m so sad we lost I’m crying in my cake

Esteban

I am so sorry that we lose in the moment where merge is approaching. It will def either me, Tyler or bethany.

They might think of putting seed on bethany to vote me out and me to bethany. That will be the smart move for tomoya 2.0.

But hopefully these people will realize that Bethany has closer bind to the hindra OG girls in the other side.

If it will be me i feel bo worries. I played a different approach and i had fun! 😅

Trinica

We actually pulled off a win!!! Amazing!!! I want to be happy but mostly I'm worried because Bethany is 99% likely to be going home. Tyler will flip, and he'd protect Esteban over her I think. Even with our extra vote, that puts us at a numbers disadvantage worst case, or a tie in the best case IF Esteban sticks with us.

Bethany

https://youtu.be/xzVQydnHNyc

Tyler Frazier

So I’ve started to do the work to save Bethany and right now it seems to be going well. Esteban is VERY anti Hairie thanks to work that I did (slayed) all we need to do is flip Brandi. We then would have a majority vote to save Bethany and I could not only go into the merge but also go with my two closest allies unified which is something I never thought would happen.

Hairie

Soooo for the first time in herstory … Oh wait right we lost before *SCREAMS* It’s soo funny because as a tribe Tromoya lost the first and last challenge as a tribe 😂. We lost by a mere couple of points and I think I’m to partly be blamed as well for the disadvantage. WHY DID I GO TO LEVEL 8 *Facepalm* But silver lining, Arvin gets to merge and I cannot wait for all the tea, the full tea and nothing but the tea of what went into at Hidra after the swap. We’re shifting into individual games pretty soon and it’s all about threading carefully and knowing who to take out and when to take them out !!!

Lowkey can’t wait for tribal also because I haven’t gotten to answer a question in full and knowing Jay she’s gonna come up with questions that are bound to make everyone’s head spin and jaws dropping.

I don’t think it’s me tonight but I’m not suppose to feel that way because the minute you think you’re safe YOU’RE ACTUALLY NOT

Jay: you lost Tromoya

Everyone: Reacts

Raffy: Gets lit 🍻🥂🍷🍸🍹and slipped the fact that Bethany is the vote to Tyler

Tyler to Bethany: Sorry Bethany you’re being voted out

Bethany to me: I’m sad because I’m being voted out

Hairie to Bethany: Wait what?!? Who told you that?

Bethany to Hairie: Tyler but he won’t say who

Hairie: goes to OG Tromoya chat: Who told Tyler it was Bethany??

Raffy: It may have been me. Goodnight yall

Hairie: 🥹😂💀

And that’s how the first few minutes of post Shark Tank went down

Arvin Bentonon

I made it to the merge. I so happy we earned our spot to the merge!

Tyler Frazier

So this is a weird round gameplay wise because we have 5 people who want Hairie gone and it’s also in Raffys best interest even though he doesn’t know it. So you’d think “boo ya! Got this in the bag” but I still am unsure of how to pitch the plan in a way that is not super sketchy because if the round plays out naturally Bethany would leave despite majority wanting her to stay which is like bizarre but whatever

Bethany

everyone is ignoring me, which ugh this sucks because i’m probably going home. but tbh like at least if im voted out premerge i can go back into the VL and talk (respectful) shit on everyone’s games (as people everyone is very wonderful but the gameplay is making me want to scream) i honestly have not committed the time i should have to this game and it’s my own fault but i still dont want to get voted out!!! trying my best here but :/

Champagne

UGH OMG THIS IS BAD I CANT AFFORD BETHANY TO GO HOME :( I wanna stay loyal to Tromoya strong bc I really really like them but there has to be a miracle to save bethany

Raffy

I spent all of last night pushing for Bethany because unsober me has no filter and did not give a fuck about laying low. So now I have to deal with the problem. In any case, I think it ended well. I told everyone on the tribe about my suspicions of Bethany potentially flipping back to Hidra. They all seemed to agree. It seemed like a done deal. But there have been a few hiccups along the way as with anything I do.

1. Tyler told Bethany her name is going around for whatever reason. Not like she'll be in jury, but nice to know that Tyler will always be watching out for himself and has no qualms with throwing me under the bus.

2. Bethany messaged me her pitch about being a double agent for OG Tromoya. However, that's just giving her power to play the middle at merge. It only benefits Bethany, not us.

3. Hairie, apparently, has decided to try to flip the vote on Tyler by getting Esteban, Brandi, and Bethany to vote him out. That makes no sense. I mean, I guess Hairie wanted to keep Bethany since he talks to Tyler less? Or maybe he's trying to split the vote to take me out. Fun stuff.

4. Also, I told Hairie about my idol which I really shouldn't have but someone needed to know why I thought Bethany didn't have anything to save herself. Now that could be the thing to get me out of this game. Yipee.

So I don't know if Bethany will get voted out. Hairie just might actively be trying to take me out the whole time in spite of the fact that I'm incredibly close to him and probably his #1 ally. If I do get voted out because of him, mark my words that it will shoot him in the foot. In any case, I'm going to keep trying to get Bethany out because it really is the smartest decision I can see at this time. Everyone else should get on the same page.

Newbies need to take a chill pill and actually think through the words they are saying. I am playing with people who are all overthinking every single detail, and I need them to slow down.

Tyler Frazier

I am BEYOND frustrated right now with pretty much everybody. Raffy's social gameplay is complete garbage right now like you’re gonna sweet talk me into working with you and then the second I have an opinion you completely ignore it and make it very clear you’d rather work with your original tribe. It’s not even like he’s just ignoring my opinion he’s choosing to not even care about what I could possibly think like he’s ready to vote. Brandi literally wants Haire gone but won’t bite the bullet and commit. Champ refuses to do any work to save us and you literally have more say than us. If we are such a priority for you then maybe stick your neck out a bit????? Esteban is actually being reasonable this round so thank god one person is. Well bethany is also being reasonable but she can’t do anything because people are acting like they’ll get the plague from talking to her. I just cannot stand these people. I hate this cast. Everyone sucks except Esteban and Bethany. Champ you’re fine too but I’m just really annoyed with you rn

Esteban

now that i am a little sober here’s my thoughts.

1. I don’t want Bethany to go home anymore. Returnees were swept out on the other side of the tribe. And if bethany goes home where i am on this position come merge? It will only be raffy, jinx and I left.

2. Hairie is kinda making me awk as all our conversation is always about game plan and never had a deeper talk. He is giving me an AJ vibe tbh. And i have a speculations about Aj/Hairie deal when they became the captains of the ships.

3. I am convinced that Bethany wanted to work in merge with clean slate as they tild me all their truths. Aj/trinica controlling, jinx idol, then targetting clefford and I but they tried to convince then it shoukd be clefford. And that toni and I were just pulled out on the alliance that they have (seeee i am right!) and that she felt that she is at the bottom of that alliance as a returnee.!

So the update was… bethany tyler and I had group chat. (What took us so long? Lol) and trying to convince one person each to how they will benefit keeping us 3.

Champ is positive about it. Brandi would feel the vibe she said but might be positive. Jayjay last night she seem open about it Raffy was solid wanted Bethany out but might consider bethany’s new info to him

Hairie - should go home if this works.

I am happy yet scared that my name wasn’t out there. Am I hallucinating and will get caught off guard tonight? That IDK. I am giving info that i just know soooooo knock on the wood. It is not me! 🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻

And yes i am proud to still be here after a rough sailing before swap and that i can write a detailed vl confessional too.

Jinx

pre immunity results jinx cast https://voca.ro/18jW2pDmnQWy

Jayjay

I am so grateful I got to sit out this last challenge because so much happened to where I wasn’t gonna be able to be fully attentive in the challenge if I wasn’t! I got really sick unfortunately so it’s also been difficult for me to keep up with everything going on. However I’m glad that I have Hairie who’s been keeping me posted about everything going on. I’m sad we lost the last challenge we had to win right before merge but tbh I kind of see it as a good way to start the merge and see where everyone’s head is at and where alliances really lye.

So everyone is going BANANAS about this tribal council which kind of has me on edge a bit and a little worried. I thought that we would of had it be an easy vote and take out an ex Hidra but now it seems since we will no longer be separated into teams people are starting to really strategize for their own personal gam. Which makes sense. Our original vote was Bethany. Lol but little Raffy was frisky last night and told Tyler and Tyler told Bethany and she told Hairie. Which seemed to have complicated things a bit. I originally thought Bethany would be the smartest way to go, considering she’d probably have the strongest connections with Hidra come merge. However she has been really pleading her case to stay in the game and I feel bad :/ Now I’m just going to take the time and think that if we were already playing a solo game, who would be the person that I would vote out for my best interest in getting furthest in the game…. 👀

Trinica

How am I supposed to vote AJ out now that I know she's a gay?????

Tyler Frazier

So! Going into tribal im not feeling great! My best bet to keep all my allies is via a rock draw and the hope that people aren’t willing to go that far to protect Hairie. Hopefully Esteban is with us because if he isn’t im gonna be very upset and cry. But that’s okay! (No it’s not)

Raffy

Bethany is trying to flip on Hairie. Esteban is just as unreliable as I thought. Everyone should just listen to me.

Hairie

Waking up to messages hearing my name was tossed around was not ideal at all like it made me go into a frenzy

Episode Six: "je suis tired" - AJ

Aaaand another Tribal Council down. We've managed to pull it off again folks. Are we the drama? Yes, yes we are. Praying this challenge is something we can beat. I just want to actually go to sleep on time for once. Alr short confessional because je suis tired

Bethany

AJ WHY DID U LET JULIA GO HOME?!?!? YOU HAD ONE JOB. U FED ME TO THE OG TROMOYA WOLVES IN A PEACE TREATY OF HAIRIE WILL PROTECT ME AND YOU PROTECT JULIA!!! like oh my god, girlliance is officially over bc i cannot rn

Brandi

Im scared

Zach🤠

so Julia went home. Which was not supposed to happen. allegedly trinica voted for the wrong person. i don’t believe that for a second because how we split the votes was their idea. well at least arvin knows he’s at the bottom and we may be able to use that against Trinica, but idk. i still really want to trust them. we’ll see ig

Trinica

AJ told me to sticker Champ and I'm tipsy so I did and I immediately got caught :( I'm honestly so sad because I would have stayed up all night for this challenge. But my self-fulfilling prophecy is coming true, we're probably gonna lose this challenge.

Also the way Zach and Jinx interacted with Tromoya makes me nervous. Sounding a *lil* too friendly for my taste! Something to think about!

Raffy

Curse my inability to throw a challenge! By winning this challenge, OG Tromoya will be at a numbers disadvantage at the merge which could be pretty bad. Honestly, I can definitely see Bethany flipping back to her OG tribe. So, I am thinking that we should throw the next challenge to get her out? Of course, this means that the Tromoya on the other tribe (Zach or Arvin) is highly likely to be the one that flipped. Honestly my mindset is if they vote out Zach I should throw and get out Bethany, but if they vote out Arvin then I should not throw so they can take out Zach.

Hairie

Again Hidra’s tribal council is split votes and another Tromoya goes home. I’m so disappointment that Julia went home and AJ couldn’t keep her promise to protect her. Also hearing Arvin’s voice sounding so defeated like that just heartbreaking 💔

I honestly think it’s Zach who flipped at one point and then I thought it was Julia but now I’m thinking it’s Zach again. I mean we were never close to begin with and haven’t had much talk.

Waking up, viewing tribal council VOD and then jumping off to a challenge right after (and a tricky one at that) surely made me go into a frenzy.

If we win this, Arvin might possibly go home next and that would mean the end of Red Rover Red Rover alliance.

Arvin Bentonon

I'm shaking the game.

Trinica

Today's strategy, since we're clearly losing this sticker stalker challenge, is to get Zach to trust me (again? for the first time? who knows). I told them I want to work with them come merge, and all they said was "I was going to talk game with you at some point today too! our minds" which tracks because outside of ali/jinx/toni I haven't been able to successfully get anyone to actually commit to working with me lol.

I need to coordinate with Jinx, who I think is maybe sharing a bit more pink venom chat secrets with zach than anyone suspects.

Hairie

At 2:21 AM my time, still up and awake watching TWD and Jinx pasted a sticker and BAM! Back to watching TWD now :)

Placed a sticker on Arvin to see if he’s up and he is LITERALLY 2 more minutes and I would have gotten a point but now that I’m out I can go to sleep.

Arvin Bentonon

I really wish they were too sensitive about my position in the game. I've made it very clear that I'm at the bottom, I thought they knew the meaning of what I'm saying.

Tyler Frazier

So we just won the challenge which you know obviously great! But my tribe (old Tromøya) seems to be a little apprehensive about winning bc one of the original Tromøya will be picked off again and it’s like at least say it in your alliance chat. Like don’t say it infront of me and just rub my position in my face. Come on people.

Arvin Bentonon

I don't trust AJ anymore. Flip Flopper. 2 tribal council in a row where she told the minority she's voting with us. And now she's trying to trick me. I know I have to push the votes on her. I would do everything.

Zach🤠

once again, this challenge was not a slay 🤠n e way. see y’all at tribal

Brandi

Alright so I need you to know that I didn’t really understand what this little confession thing was supposed to be but I went and looked at past seasons and now I know and feel so so so so embarrassed by my previous answers lol lol lol. We DOMINATED the sticker challenge and I was so proud I got the first point. I think we can keep riding this high till the merge and at that point…. I’m scared to see what will happen.

We lost again to literally no one's surprise. But honestly it’s really tough to lose so many times in a row. It really hurts morale. Especially when I know for a fact that I’m doing all I can for these challenges so we can get a day off. I’m staying up through the night, I’m putting my all in for each challenge, I’m making sure to read and clarify the rules as best I can for others. And it sucks to be putting in this much effort and still coming up short because other tribe members aren’t dedicating as much to this.

I’m really praying I make it to merge. Really truly praying. Because I feel like with how much effort I put into each of these challenges, doing them individually I’d have a higher chance of success than we’ve currently gotten. Fingers crossed I don’t get blindsided, I don’t think I will but I can only hope. The next challenge we’ve got the equivalent of a 10% disadvantage between us and the other tribe, BUT, it’s a challenge I know in my gut we’ll be good at.

Esteban

It is so good to be part of the winning tribe 3x in a row. We need to play this lay low game. Two more rounds til merge. I hope we’ll make it.

Raffy is expressing his mistrust to the hidra 2.0 which is a good sign for me. He is even pitching a bethany boot already when we lose this round. Should we lose the challenge intentionally??? Naaaah. I feel good with jayjay, brandi,and hairie too. I am not certain with champ yet coz she might leaning towards bethany.

Also, considering Tyler and I in the bottom of both opposing ends is the best thing that happened to us.

PS. It has been a busy week to me. I am trying my best to keep up on the game and the confessionals.

Champ

Omg that was STRESSFUL! My strategy was to not be active and have everyone sticker me! It worked perfectly and I was able to eliminate 3/6 people on their tribe

Tyler Frazier

So ever since we have swapped I’ve been trying to make it a priority to build a relationship with Raffy and it took time but it’s finally starting to work! He seems to be telling people that he likes me now and I think that he is a good person to have your side in the game. He seems to have a good amount of sway which obvi makes him a threat so I am weary but right now I just don’t see him going anywhere no matter what I do so I might aswell make something work

Jayjay

I felt kind of left out of this last challenge since my strategy was to not talk much in the sticker group chat so the other team would sticker me. However I only got stickered once, lol. Whelp. I didn’t get to talk much to the other team members from Hidra that I haven’t met yet. Idk if that’s a good or a bad thing. I definitely feel like I’m under the radar rn but can’t say for sure. This challenge took me back to tug of war flashbacks of anxiety and alarms every 30 min however not so intense lol. Did have a mini heart attack when Raffy called me to let me know I was stuck but my body was in game mode and woke up almost instantly 😂 Love my tribe and their determination to keep killing it in these challenges!!! Woooo 🎉 I’m thinking Arvin or Zach will be the ones to go unfortunately but considering they turned on each other after tribe swap I’m not very concerned about it tbh. I will sleep peacefully tonight 😴

Trinica

Once again, AJ and I are on the same wavelength. Last night, I realized that she has the old Hidra idol. There's no way it's not her. She searched near camp, had to insert a weird phrase into the main tribe chat, then claimed someone else had gotten there before her. Then for the next vote seemed unbothered about the idol, like saying probably nobody had one. There was too much going on for me to connect the dots, but now I realize- if someone else had gotten there first, they would have ALSO had to insert a weird phrase into the group chat. And nobody else did, I'd remember.

This morning I woke up to a message from AJ asking if I'd tell her if I had an idol. I DO have an idol, but no I wouldn't tell her lol since she hasn't told me. I'm 99% sure we both have idols which is hilarious.

Also- Toni messaged the vecepia chat (me, Jinx, Toni) about how iconic it would be if 3 Black girls made it to final tribal, which I'm interpreting as "hey don't forget this main alliance, and also AJ isn't coming with us." Which is great because I've been worried about her getting too close to AJ.

Jinx

raffy is giving Boston Rob (non-deragatory)

love, pink venom

Bethany

this tribe literally is so annoying to me but all i can do is hope we keep winning.

yesterday, raffy was telling tyler that i'm "sketchy" and brandi was telling champ that i'm "distant"

let's break down all the reasons that annoys me!! 1) hairie is the only og tromoya to EVER reach out to me first. we have been on this tribe for a week at this point. but i'm the one that is distant???? make it make sense. 2) I HAVE DONE NOTHING SKETCHY i literally have been so open whenever i am asked about the game, and i'm not even doing anything. i'm literally just standing here. existing. but nooooooo there's a spooky non-men hidra alliance so i'm sketchy just because i am a woman from hidra despite the fact that logically, i would have no incentive to team back up with them when they will be in the minority.

but with the way i am being treated on this tribe, they are giving me 0 incentive to stick with them at the merge if we win the next challenge! i will immediately be throwing esteban and every single og tromoya under the bus if things don't change real quick and praying that one of the hidras who stayed on hidra have an idol honestly because this is wack and i don't just want to stay on the bottom all game long not even having fun. so tbh they should hope that we do go to tribal and that they do vote me off because otherwise, i'm not going to be a number for them and i will do whatever i can to put a target on every single one of their backs. and i have enough info from champ to do that, with some embellishing of course :) i'd rather shake things up than just waiting around to be voted off after doing other people's bidding who have given me 0 reason to ever trust them once we do merge.

It's right before tribal and I'm paranoid I've not done one of these yet so here's a very short little one. Hoping we actually get Zach out tonight, love him but he's just so inactive that it's really hurting us especially with what the challenge is gonna be next.

Arvin Bentonon

I think I'm going home.

Zach🤠

i’m excited for merge, but not for a creative challenge. 🥲

Episode Five: "i will not relent!!! u will like me!!!" - Bethany

Hairie

I am not happy with the tribal council but I am also not entirely mad. I’m sad to see Chelsea go. Someone flipped from ex Tromoya and I have a strong feeling it was Zach

I partially feel guilty for not choosing Chelsea for tribe swap. She was my alliance and now she’s gone.

Esteban

idk what to expect on this round. I am hearing that bethany is rallying the non-women again and staining my name that I did pushed aj and trinica that much on idol hint. Wth! I would never respect that move. But good for you. Now you are givigng me much time to think and a fire to probably play the game still til the end.

Raffy prob is neutral on which way he wanna go with either bethany’s story or i. Brandi profess that she wanna work with me and she thought jayjay would love too. Jayjay is so welcoming on me and said the same way that she wants me to stay on the game and she is skeptical about bethany and that it make sense she is saying she is like pulling all the ladies again in this new tribe and on her own words she said, “let vote bethany out the first time we will get a chance.”

Hairie, i am still in doubt of him. Idk where he is on this thought process but i told him my truth may it be wrong or not but i am not lying to what i felt is right. 😅

Tyler hopefully he is still on my side. He told me that bethany was caught on the act when she confirm that there is a non-men alliance when tyler was confronted her lying that jinx leaked that information.

On the lighter note: i look horribly crazy in my lip sync. And please let that video just stay here in this ORG. 🙈🙈🙈

Late confessionals (strike 1)

Sorry been very busy lately.

We’ve won the music video challenge. Kudos to tomoya 2.0 for giving all the effort and it is worth it.

The vibe went positive in the camp. People sharing thought about have kore advantages so we can win another round of challenge.

I am loving this tribe more than the old one. I hope we will not see the tribal earlier before merge happens.

So far i feel like jayjay and brandi had my back and tyler too. Hoping hairie too. 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽

That tie vote of the hidra tribe is crazy. And chelsea going home i hope will give the og tromoya a chance for us to infiltrate the group.

Cheetos we are holding on. Take care!

Jayjay

Im pretty shocked that it was Chelsea who got voted out this tribal council! I’m sad to see her go she was such a great person! Wondering how the dynamics and alliances are working over on hidra considering I thought the vote was going to be for a male with the info I got from ex hidra team members.

Arvin Bentonon

Oh noooo! My survivor cool mom was voted out. Now I'm in the bottom.

I really want Julia to be the gesturer. I think in the music video, Julia showed everyone that she communicates well with actions by giving us nice clean movements.

I told Julia that it's either one of us should be the gesturer. So I nominated her in the GC and seems like everybody is on board with it. I'm just so afraid that if one of the rest of them would gesture, they might throw the challenge by confusing us. So I really need to try hard and guess what Julia is trying to act. Just in case they want to throw a challenge, to even out the numbers.

Raffy

Is it weird that I don't really want to win this game? I thought about it and realized that I just want to have fun and meet the newbies. My feelings will probably change sooner or later. But, for now, I'm content with going whichever which way.

Tyler Frazier

So I’m growing a bit concerned about my relationship with Esteban. Prior to the swap he mentioned wanting to work with Raffy and that plus the fact he was able to seemingly instantly integrate himself into the old Tromøya makes me feel like I’m no longer a main priority for him

I'm honestly pretty hyped for charades. I feel like it's the one in which we have the most even odds. I'm honestly so proud of the femmes and thems alliance rn. Highlight of last round was Zach "uniting" us. Anyway just a short confession until I can give a larger one after the challenge

Raffy

I found an idol! That climbing gear finally came in handy haha. In any case, I think I'll keep this to myself. No use telling everyone and having me be a bigger threat than I already am. Though it does make me question just how many idols are in this game.

Brandi

I’m really hoping to just ride the tromoya train and stay low until the merge - tribal is scary

Arvin Bentonon

I have to made up an advantage, like a legacy advantage if they will believe it, I will be saved by this vote.

Trinica

At this point, Jay's gotta be sick of seeing us at tribal. AND YET.

These advantages/disadvantages are really killing us. We came so close to winning charades!! Julia honestly did an amazing job, and I told her that she doesn't deserve to go home after that performance. I hate to send Arvin home, but I'd feel awful sending Julia home after how well she did.

There are no more idols to be found in the game anymore, which is nerve-wracking. Arvin or Julia could very well have one, so this next vote is going to be tricky. And I'm assuming we've as well as lost the next challenge because AJ and I both landed us with 10% disadvantages. It's not looking good for Hidra (but when is it ever...?)

Esteban

When you thought you don’t care anymore and that you are gonna voted out early then here comes the gods of the seven kingdoms blessing you a safety. Congratulations to tomoya 2.0. raffy did well tbh

Champ

So nervous about losing a challenge! I need to make sure bethany and Tyler stay in this game! If we lose I’m assuming Esteban tyler or bethany will go, and I really want to make it to merge with my entire tribe! Once we merge I feel like I’m in a really good position to make it far

Hairie

We won ... AGAIN! I'm so happy that we did. On top that, the idol or idols has been found and someone or a couple of someones has it. The game is elevating yet again!

Tyler Frazier

So I have the weird sword advantage which would be great if I was certain I’d make the merge but…I’m not. I mean if things go really wrong and Bethany Champ or I get booted then obvi it can be played (I think for them im gonna need to re read) which will be great if we can get out of our current position

Bethany

slayyyy tromoya wins again!!!! im very happy with that because i still dont feel safe here lol but im hoping esteban is starting to see the light and is going to not immediately try and flip on tyler and i

so tyler, champ, and i have a little trio going called brayden's angels which is so cute and tyler and i went idol hunting together today and everything that was good was sold out so like no slay EXCEPT for the 100 coin item

tyler and i had 70 coins combined so we decided to go beg champ for her money too and ms girl is way too loyal and just handed them right over

so tyler bought the sword and it forces a battleback if one of us is eliminated once jury starts which is so fun i love it and im excited because im usually good at comps so that would be perfect if i get voted out lolol

hopefully we can keep the winning streak going and then at the merge i can reunite with all of pink venom and play both sides mwahaha we will see though not trying to get ahead of myself, i just want to try and keep social gaming when we don't have tribal because i don't think tyler is trying as hard with people but it's hard when they leave me on read all day *cough cough* jayjay. but i will not relent!!! u will like me!!!

Arvin Bentonon

Right now, I don't want to talk too much. I just really want to enjoy the process, and maybe someone would talk to me and possibly save me from this vote. The former old hidra tribe thinks I'm running the show with the former tromoya already because I want to talk to almost everyone of them. Now I'm definitely in the chopping block.

Esteban

i don’t know if i am only one of the few people who is happy that the hinting is over. Respect to the host and the fun twist but i still stun a back to basic game where it seperate people who are playing a social, strategic and amazing game to those who are just hoping for luck. 😅.

Do you agree?

Now that it is all over let the survivor back to basic game start! Sorry i was born to play back to basic games. 😂😂😂🤞🏻No more hiding.

So bad news and even worse news lmfao. We lost the challenge, all idols in the fucking idol hunt have been found, and now idol hunt is closed. Which means we're probably losing up till and into the merge. I can only hope the other tribe has a bunch of disadvantages. We're most likely going into the challenge after next with a net 20% disadvantage unless someone was able to find something. I have my 10% AD at any time, but I will not be using it when we'll still be in the negative and probably still lose.

This next challenge is going to be a 24 hours challenge. What does that mean for AJ? If you guessed zero sleep, you'd be correct!! No matter what it is I'm going to do my absolute best to get us to win it. We NEED a break at some point, honestly, and if it weren't for the advantages we would have won that last challenge. Being on a losing streak isn't fun, but we'll get through it. We always do.

Jayjay

The last charade challenge was a lot of fun. I think Raffy killed it being the gesture, you could tell he definitely gave it his all! Super proud of our team and winning all these challenges. Tromoya strong forevaaaa!!

Hairie

Solidifying my number 1 and we gonna make it to final 3 I’m confident!

Strong feelings that either Arvin or Zach going home this next tribal. I’m also thinking Julia might have flipped more so than I initially thought it was Zach. I could be wrong but my guts telling me just that.

Zach🤠

Cant believe we’re going to tribal again. Not a slay. Love that our little panic alliance has stuck together after that one vote to save my ass. AND we have an in with AJ. I have no idea how Julia and Arvin still trust AJ after that last flip, but here we are. I asked Julia why not try to take me down today and she explained to me how similar our games were and how she thought that made us closer and stronger together. And I agree. I can really see myself going a long way with AJ and Jinx.

Arvin Bentonon

I'm not going home without a fight.

Julia

Welp I was blindsided last time and it’s my time to go here. I tried so hard during charades but it wasn’t good enough and I’m heartbroken

jinx

imma keep it so real right now i will ride and die for my alliance but i think we might be the …bad guys…like…we’re really about to be THAT majority alliance huh….erm….chile anyways…did anyone have the chicken?? the chicken was lovely! like we’re girlbossing gaslighting and gatekeeping but at what cost? anyways. i swear if pink venom is reading this post season ITS ONLY BECAUSE WERE A MAJORITY ALLIANCE MAKING THINGS BORING 😭 but we’re a majority of minorities….like WIG!!!!! taking the power back!!!! but are we taking too much??? who’s to say! anyways no jinxcast this round simply because i aint got shit to say! saving it for my actual journal. love y’all! xoxo gossip jinx

Toni

Theme: Anxiety and Alliances

Hello World.

What a shaky Tribal we had on Sunday. We were still strategising by the initial tribal time - thank god it was delayed. The feeling of having my name out there is a feeling I did not enjoy. If anything had gone wrong I would have gone home. The game is getting harder. I started this game confident in my gut feeling but even though I've never been on the wrong side of the vote I can feel my anxiety rising.

I'm grateful for the alliances I've built here and over on the other tribe but the game is getting harder. You do genuinely connect with some of these people and it starts to creep into your heart when you choose to vote them out. We're voting Julia out today and even though I initially misunderstood her I've recently really connected with her on our mutual love for the WNBA. I'm sad. I do have to stay true to my word and loyal to my alliance. Still I'm sad.

Signing off safe but sad.

Can't remember if I've submitted one of these this round or not. Better safe than sorry so I'm doing that now. We're betraying Julia which is sad because I do really like her, but there's been some good points made for her vote out. Julia when this comes out ily, sorry for my vote

Episode Four: "I am VERY susceptible to flattery" - Chelsea

Trinica

Another successful tribal! All the girls seem to feel really bad about voting for Tyler and now I have to pretend that I also feel bad about voting for Tyler or else they'll think I'm heartless lol. But the boy does not speak to me!!!

I think Esteban really does trust AJ and I again, which is great. I almost feel bad about being against him. Almost.

AJ and I had a long call post-tribal about strategy moving forward! We're literally finishing each other's sentences while scheming. The plan is for AJ to continue her "woe is me" story and pretend she wants to flip. I suggested she tell them to target Toni or I and say that she thinks one of us has a tribal so they need to split votes. They split the votes, we stay strong, and off Arvin goes.

We're going to STRUGGLE with picking a song for this challenge, so not boding we'll for our chance of winning.

Hairie

Okay Hidra with the crazy tribals ! Dang it I wasn’t expecting Azri to go cus I wanted to potentially work with him us being South East Asians and all

Bethany, Esteban and Tyler spilling hot piping tea and I’m here for it but do I believe it?

Arvin Bentonon

I really love the challenge. But it took us more than half of a day to decide which song to pick. Now, I'm worried because it's already 9pm here, and I'm so tired. I just want to record now, so that I can sleep. Tired af.

Raffy

I really want Brandi and Champ to trust Hairie to make my life easier, but they obviously don't because of the idol shenanigans. I wish there was a way to mend that bridge, but it needs to come from Hairie himself not me. Right now though I need them to realize we need him until merge. It would make this pre-merge so much easier. Hopefully they see the path of least resistance is to keep Hairie.

Other than that, apparently Esteban trusts me enough to tell me that he's on the bottom, there may be a non-men alliance on Hidra, and that he wants to go against them. I told him that what makes the most sense to me is that there are only three people working together (Jinx, AJ, and someone else) who are pulling the strings. They were the onto use the idol and they were the ones to split the vote correctly in case of an idol. However, Champ told me even MORE tea (which I can only assume was from Bethany based on what was told) wherein Clefford was the messy one (I wouldn't be surprised) and spread rumors about Jinx based on Raccoon City. And Esteban was being pushy about idol hunting with AJ and Trinica which put them off. So, from presumably Bethany's account, the boys were trying to start a men's alliance or, at the very least, were the ones that painted a target on themselves first.

Now, which do I believe? Probably a little bit of both. I can definitely see both Esteban's and Bethany's accounts being true for their personal perspective. However, that won't stop me from voting any of them out. After all, my plan is to stick Tromoya strong so none of this information changes the way I'm playing rn. Though its nice that they are giving out all this tea for free.

Chelsea

This is an interesting situation to be in! 3 OG Hidra messaged me almost immediately after the swap. It is really hard to decide who to work with bc one of my things is that I want everyone to like me. I am not good at saying no either so I will have to tread carefully. Also, no one “has time” to edit. I am literally across the country from my home and with my kids. Let one of these young’uns with way fewer responsibilities take it!

Tyler Frazier

So I currently hate this game. I have three allies, one of which lied to me on my old tribe, two of which hate each other, and not only that! I am in the minority and I’m not even the majorities favorite so I could easily be booted bc my only other ally is telling her tribe to stick together for some reason. So it’s just all going terribly for me. Honestly if I make the merge give me a medal.

Trinica

I FOUND A FREAKING IDOL!!!!!!!!!! Survivor bucket list complete!!! And no I will not be telling AJ, thank you very much. I told her instead about the golden key I found awhile back- hopefully she can help me figure out where it goes.

I feel like I'm in such a good place right now, no matter what happens with this challenge. My goals are twofold: use this successfully later on in the game, and don't go home with it in my pocket. 🙏🏾

Hairie

Ex Hidra members now on new tromoya are sharing similarities in the information they share with me and others. I just hope OG tromoya don’t get thrown off

Okay Raffy is killing it in every challenge and he sure did for the lipsync challenge 🔥

Chelsea

I wish I weren’t traveling during the music video challenge! I did my best and used all my advantages (read: children), so hopefully people like it!!

Jayjay

I have not been feeling well today at all and I still have yet to film my video for this challenge. I was excited yet really nervous because I’m not good in front of a camera but it seems so fun with the ideas I had in mind for it. I just hope I can get to feeling well enough to get this done within an hour or so, so I don’t let my team down and we can win this challenge! Wish me luck! I may just puke my brains out 😅

Brandi

Challenge not going well- no one cares about it and instead is worried about drama. We are gonna be at tribal if they don’t get it together

Jayjay

So l finally got the videos for the challenge done that was fun! Although I had to do it later at night so it was pretty chilly out to have the water hose rain on me it was so worth it! 🤭 Everyone has already made their videos I believe now we just have to leave it in Champs hands to edit it all together! I can’t wait to see the final result!!! It’ll be a video to keep forever for sure. I lii ok ve our new tribe and how dedicated everyone seems to be! 🙌🏻 Let’s just keep our fingers crossed we win this challenge especially with a 10% advantage Bethany has!

Trinica

From the way Jinx is talking, Raffy is going to dominate the editing for this challenge and we're probably gonna lose...but I had fun and that's all that matters!

JK not going to tribal is what matters

Bethany

i'm so annoyed literally an hour into this swapped tribe the og tromoya was saying that they should bring in esteban like please give tyler and i a chance!!! but hairie is telling me tyler is not responsive so like hopefully it would be tyler targeted and not me. idk i'm not really vibing with any of them so we will see what happens. just trying to be more active than tyler at this point and get people to like me a little by spilling some tea. hairie was like "i don't believe in an all one gender majority alliance" and i'm like ok esteban has definitely been spreading that but here is the thing literally like day 2, the guys were all targeting 3/5 non-men on our tribe. jinx was being metatargeted by cleffort, and esteban was targeting aj and trinica for trying to help him with the idol hunt??? like this was before we even formed the alliance. so not really our faults that you were trying to target all of us when azri and tyler were both pretty inactive!!! but whatever, gotta deal with that now, it will be fine.

Tyler Frazier

Okay as you know I’m not happy ab my spot on the tribe. My allies are kind of flopping and my best shot at keeping all of them is if I’m the target and we go to a tie and someone from the other side flips or we force rocks. So overall it’s just not great. So I’m really hoping we pull out a win so that Bethany and I can integrate ourselves into the tribe a bit more and they’ll be more comfortable targeting each other over us. Champ thinks we could flip votes onto Haire however I am afraid of being the one to put that plan into motion as I don’t wanna come on too strong and further mess up my spot.

Hairie

Sooo Bethany told Champ and Brandi about what I told AJ about keeping Julia safe. I had to do some damage control because it wasn’t entirely true how the approach went. I only did that to make sure AJ did not pick Raffy first.

All these talks about idols is making me anxious because someone has it but everyone’s saying they don’t have it. I know I don’t have it

It’s so hard to figure out who to vote out for this tribal if we lose. I’m liking getting to know Esteban Bethany and Tyler but I’m also strongly with keeping Tromoya strong

Okay me and Brandi are finally opening up and having some game talk and we’re both just keeping up with the pace of how intensified the game is going after the swap

Alrighty I’ve been so busy with this swap and the music video that I haven’t confessed yet this round. Shame on me and all that. But I am excited this round, I won’t lie. First I got almost all of our femmes and thems alliance on this new tribe with me, which made me feel pretty great. Second I’m almost entirely convinced that Tromoya believes I’m an extra vote for them. Which if all goes well they won’t realize isn’t true until too late.

Speaking of extra votes, ya girl just bought one. Somehow I went from broke to absolutely loaded in a single day of idol hunting. Right before we left for the swap coincidentally. Now I’ve got an extra vote and hopefully I won’t have to use it. Though Tromoya hasn’t really been too eager to interact with me, with the exception of Arvin. I do feel like that’s almost entirely because of how busy everyone is and also having barely any time for the video clips for this challenge.

But it’s done and submitted and there’s nothing we can really do about it now. I’m honestly pretty happy with how it turned out all things considered. So yeah, absolutely exhausted and now just waiting for the results. Fingers crossed we get so many points that we win even with less of an advantage, though I have a sinking feeling with Raffy editing the other video (probably since he’s done these so many times) and their tribe most likely not being as busy as ours, we’ll come nowhere close to winning.

Fingers crossed is all I can do though.

Raffy

I finally approach the Tromoya strong alliance about knowing who has the idol based on the secret phrase. It's so Brandi who has it. I don't know why we're lying anymore. It's just nonsense. They've been caught. Red-handed. Case closed. Will Brandi reveal this information? Probably not. Will she use it for my benefit? Maybe. So, I'm just going to sit here and fume about it until its used. Maybe I just got myself voted out, but who cares. I hate being treated like I'm stupid. Let me be your loyal ally and trust meeeeee. I just wanna be a hero who everyone can rely onnnn.

Chelsea

Ugh! I cringe at my video!! I had no time and I was traveling and just UGH. Trying to cover my bases in case we lose and in case others thought my video was dumb too. Talking to AJ and Jinx since they were on the outs with their tribe we can bring them to us and vote out one of the other OG Hidras

Tyler Frazier

Okay I’m not sure this’ll work but Champ said our best bet is to flip votes onto haire so if we have to go to tribal I could go to Raffy and say Haire talked ab doing an all newbies thing and that bc of Raffys reputation he’d like to see him go before the merge. This is all I could come up with to keep bethany and I safe and none of it’s true I made it all up.

Chelsea

This is good! Julia, Arvin and I all think that Toni should be the next to go if it comes to that, so we can pull in AJ and Jinx who were already on the outs with their original tribe, and Trinica seems really nice too. If I had my way, it would be Toni, and then Zach, and hopefully we win enough of the time that we will only need to go to two more Tribals before the merge...

Brandi

I was so worried about this dang challenge but it’s fine bro

Bethany

thank god we won immunity 🤩 i’m booked and busy trying to get people to stop targeting me 😭 tyler is trying to convince esteban but thankfully i can chill for a day and just try to get people to like me

Arvin Bentonon

We did our best and I had a lot of fun too. I just so sad that we didn't win. Huhu.

Trinica

https://youtu.be/vQxP14VAbkQ

Tyler Frazier

So I am really happy we won. That keeps Bethany Esteban and I safe another round and the longer we are safe the better. I’m not really sure who I believe is lying to me Bethany or Esteban but I think Esteban is messier and Bethany and I have a connection to Brayden so I’d like to see her do well. Plus come merge (hopefully I make it) I’m not sure how much longer Esteban can stay due yo how messy he’s been.

Hairie

Okay we slayed the lipsync competition! Shoutout to Champ for putting it all together !!

Okay Trinica slayed the most in that lipsync challenge. I mean come on she gave me outfit change, she gave me BACKGROUND. Ate it!!

Zach🤠

howdy. i fee like it could be my time. no one has spoken to me and I didn’t really reach out because I was busy all day. this was just a really inopportune time for me to play a game i think. n e way. light a candle for me besties.

Tyler Frazier

(I can’t remember if I submitted anything after we won so sorry) So we blew the other tribe out of the water with the challenge and thank god we did bc now I don’t have to put my super messy plan that likely wouldn’t have worked into motion and I can keep my allies. I’ve said before I have a lot more trust in Bethany than Esteban now because he’s just so messy but if we go to tribal I’m not really gonna have a say in who the target is and it’s not the ally I’d prefer be targeted (Sorry Esteban) it’ll be me or Bethany 🥰

Hairie

Omg that was worth the purchase and I’m so happy. I’m crossing lots of things I wanna accomplish for my very first ORG

Raffy

Hairie and I split our coins between each other to buy the sweater and the sauna bucket. I got 10 coins for everyone on the tribe including myself. This means my allies have grown very rich. Hopefully, tomorrow I can try to convince someone with a lot of money to come with me to buy things from the idol hunt. However, most importantly, Hairie found a hidden immunity idol and he told me about it. This pretty just confirms to me that Brandi has the other idol since Hairie would have told me about it. Now, I do not trust Brandi. For as much as she says that she wants to work with me and be really tight with our trio with Champ, not telling us about the advantage while also knowing we should have figured it out by now? Its giving strange. Despite that, I'll still be close with her cause I got no one else to go to at this point who I would want to work with. Its looking like I am going to be Hairie's sidekick for the game which is fine by me. I need to take a secondary role for once haha.

Hairie

Actually that was lowkey a good move on Brandi for sharing about the 10% advantage. If most of them do it, means we stack up on advantages and nobody went searching for the idol truly

Chelsea

Arvin is really complimentary and I don’t know what to do with it bc I am VERY susceptible to flattery lol and bc I know that about myself I am being hyper sensitive when ppl say something nice. Like do they mean it? Normally I would lap it up be here it so complicated!!

Toni

Theme: Short and Sweet

Hello world!

I'm not as chipper as the last time I confessed. I am exhausted. Exhausted but like if there was a word worse than exhausted I could think of I'd use that instead. I have had a busy weekend which of course meant I wasn't able to contribute much to the challenge or start building relationships with the new Hidra peeps. My name is out there tonight but I trust the relationships I've been working hard to build (instead of idol hunting) since the first challenge - AJ, Trinica, Jinx. My fire might go out tonight but we'll see.

So signing off scared.

Jayjay

So we won!!! I’m super happy and proud of our team for giving their all in this challenge. Definitely a video to keep forever lol. I think the other team did well as well, however it didn’t seem they put in as much effort as we did. I also think us getting wet in ours gave us the win! 😂 Nervous about they’re tribal council to see how it plays out for our ex Tromoya players. I hope they’re safe but from what I hear about ex Hidra I really doubt it. Anyways I’ll have my fingers crossed for them! I’m just relieved it’s not us having to make that elimination tonight. Thank you VL! 😁

Champagne

I’m so stressed! This is so messy because Bethany and Tyler are in the miniority while I’m in the majority and I want to keep Tyler and Bethany safe so we make it to merge together. The only option for me at this point is to continue to win for our tribe

Arvin Bentonon

This is the first tribal council I felt really nervous about. I mean, at this stage we are still getting to know each other, so it's hard to make a decision.

Zach🤠

So uhh this vote is very easy so far which scares me. I feel like I’ve connected with this new tribe enough for them to keep me around. I don’t trust anyone in this game yet really but I have to and if I go out trusting them when I’ve been nothing but honest, that’s on them! 🤠 see you on the other side 🫡

Trinica

Another tribal, another opportunity for AJ and I to manipulate everybody. I think we've got Arvin and the Tromoya girls eating out of our hands. Zach is a big ol' question mark, though. Refuses to game talk.

AJ keeps trying to pass off her extra vote on me, and is acting as if it's strategy but really she just doesn't want to use it herself and have a target on her back. She wants to maintain a relationship with Tromoya so that when she gets to the merge she has options. Which is exactly what I would do in her position. But I convinced her to give it to Toni. It's not the best solution because I really want Toni to trust me the most and I think at this point she's getting closer to AJ than she is to me but I wouldn't much rather not have the target on my back. I said in the vecepia chat "the devil works hard but AJ works harder" and Toni goes "I love AJ though" which tells me she's feeling really grateful.

Jinx

https://voca.ro/1iFqHoXbSw6L

these jinxcasts are okay but they got thee spirit

Julia

Well obviously we lost a music video challenge to raffy. I don’t think he’s ever lost one of those and I don’t think he ever will. I’m really upset that the tribes broke down this way because our tribe is just so god awful at challenges. I’m hoping that aj and jinx both vote one of their old members here because if not idk what the heck will happen

Trinica

Not me being behind every single tribal elimination so far???? It's giving ICONIC.

Dropped a truth bomb on Zach 20 mins before tribal letting them know that Arvin mentioned his name, Zach immediately freaked and added me to an alliance chat with Jinx and Toni. Then I got him to add AJ and now we're flipping on old Tromoya (and don't even NEED the extra vote AJ has)!! I am CACKLING

Zach🤠

So…that was fun. Just panicked and swung the result of tribal tonight. It was toni all day and then 15 minutes before the original tribal time, Trinica came to me and said Arvin and couple others were planning to vote for me l and wanted me to know. So I got with jinx and we realized with Toni at the bottom, AJ wanting to be in the majority, Trinica, Me and her we have the majority. So here we are and Chelsea is going home…hopefully.

Episode Three: "I’m gonna get served up a big ol’ plate of blindside butter beans" - Tyler

Trinica

ALL RIGHT JINX I'm so sorry for my doomsday confession earlier. It worked!! I still think we wasted an idol but whatever, chaos rules again and AJ is still here and that's all I care about

Hairie

Seeing the first one voted out from Hidra gave me a shock. And especially the idol play to save the target by majority. It’s literally 7.30am here for me and waking up with an Energizer

Tyler Frazier

So AJ is still here which is SO awkward. Anyways on another note Esteban just casually mentioned a theory of an “all non mens alliance” which isn’t something he floated around to me ab all before so like I’m interested to see his reasoning. I think that there could potentially be some backing to it though because apparently the people who were originally throwing my name around were AJ, Trinica, and Tori. Obviously Jinx is working with AJ and Trin bc they played an idol on AJ so that’s 4. But Im still not entirely sold based on the vote count.

Esteban

damn why not aj and why not me?

Thats a very good game though. I already knew by gut feeling that jinx had an idol. I just have no time to turn the votes away and actually idk. Nut i know the votes are fake! Trinica and jinx and aj voted clefford. But the bethany and toni vote is jus tto cover there assess to pretend that there is no Non-men alliance. Like seriously? Im not that dumb or maybe a bit.

Sorry Clefford that you are the first casualty. My bad.

So after that i told trinica and AJ (on a freakin groupcall) that i am sorry if i hurt there feeling but not sorry for voting AJ out (coz why should i?) then i told them i was played by cleffords lie. (Sorry again clefford) lmao. It was a good conversation. Everyone is faking and everyone is trying to cover their assess (counte me in). As much as i wanted to be the villainish again though i know i am not coz my actions are just a counter attack coz i discovered their lieees!

Toni assuring me that we are tight i’ll take it til no more ( i love her genuinely but i know she is a smart queen)

Bethany atleast she didn’t sealed it with a kiss YET. But i am pretty sure her loyalty is with the power puff girls.

(Ohh my i miss the rowdy rough boys) lol

I thought i will seal this last VL with a 💋 and sorry to pedro but we are still baby!!! Lol. At least for another round.

Now azri, tyler and I are in the bottom

Now i feel like a disposable bag ready to be 🗑 disposed.

Lol. Fun cheetos fun! Till the next crazy tribal

Trinica

NOT A TRIBE SWAP!!!! I'm screwed if I end up with any of the guys at this point, even Esteban. AJ asked me if I thought we should campaign for one of us for captain and I told her no because it would make it seem like we're playing too hard, but she immediately said in our pink venom (Jinx, me, Toni, AJ, and Bethany) chat that she wants to be captain... I went to Jinx and Toni in our vecepia/WOC alliance to see what they think. Jinx would probably pick Toni and I first and second, and I *think* Toni would do the same. I know AJ is my #1, but she's very vocal in every chat we're in and I think she shows her cards a little too soon sometimes. Also, I don't want her to have the most coins out of any of us lol.

Oh shit just realized I can vote for myself byyyyyeeeee maybe that's the move???

Zach🤠

This whole voting for captains thing is not a slay. Especially if our votes are revealed. I didn’t vote unanimously with my tribe for the other captain so if that’s revealed then my tribe will know that Jinx and I were able to talk and then the jig about our game is up. Um was also not expecting Jinx to play the idol that quickly. This game is already turning up.

Hairie

Jinx finding an idol that fast is impressive! She’s someone to keep a lookout for

I knew a swap was potentially coming but this soon? Jay stop :’)

I have a huge plan for this tribe swap and I want to be captain. It’s for my long game.

Arvin Bentonon

I was so sad to see my fellow Filipino going home.

Jayjay

So this game is starting to get really interesting! I’m more invested in it then I thought I’d be.😅 I’m so ready for the results in this next challenge, id like to think that my answers were pretty unique to where they don’t cross with anyone else’s. Fingers crossed! As far as alliances go, I have made one with Hairie and Champ considering we’re newbies to the game and have to stick together. My first thoughts and go to were Raffy since he knows what’s he’s doing and could coach me a bit, however when I asked him if he had anything going on he completely ignored me so that was a red flag for me! I feel really confident in the two I chose to align myself with though. Champ and I went on an idol hunt and received 10 coins each. We also found out Hairie has 10 coins as well. We decided to go with him as our team captain so that will also give him another 25 coins in our favor! We banking over here! Lol we’ll see what’s to come with this challenge and our tribe swap. We’re planning on just picking off Hydra one by one after splitting the team on both sides. Hope it all works out in our favor!

Hairie

Okay potentially being a captain is harder that I actually thought it would be. Especially when there’s so many thinking and so much time space to let my thoughts sink and in. I’ll be like okay this is what I wanna do and the next hour okay maybe not and I should do this Gahhhh!!

Raffy

Jinx is an icon and I can't wait to try and work with them. I am just vibing here with my two alliances. I would prefer an AJ and Hairie tribe leaders since AJ seems at the bottom of their tribe and Hairie I trust. If we do a one world, I am hoping to get out someone from Hidra. Maybe Esteban based on my own bias. Other than that, I really am just rolling with the punches here. I feel like I'm in a good position and don't need to do much in this game atm.

I am concerned that people are already seeing me as a threat, but there is nothing I can do. I don't like throwing challenges, so I won't change who I am to cater to anyone's preconceived notions of me. So far, I am letting Hairie take the reins in terms of strategy talk as I want someone else to take the lead.

Trinica

I was lowkey campaigning for AJ NOT to get tribe captain, but I feel....middling to okay about my odds of surviving this tribe swap now that she is. I'm just seeding doubts in my vecepia alliance with Jinx and Toni, suggesting that AJ is closer to Tyler than we know, that she's playing hard, that she makes emotional decisions, etc. (Am I the drama??) I want them to still think I don't talk to AJ much and also when I inevitably have to vote AJ off (because I just can't sit next to her at tribal) hopefully I'd have Toni and Jinx's votes.

I survived another day, and a very tense tribal council. Honestly I worry we're heading back with this 30% disadvantage but yeah. I've done all I can and enjoyed a nice day off, found a fun 5% advantage for my next challenge so that's nice. Also I got elected tribe captain for the tribe swap which is great! Stay tuned, fingers crossed we somehow manage to win this one

Toni

Theme: "Give every man thy ear, but few thy voice."

Hello world,

A LOT has happened. With the last tribal came the realisation of party lines. So let me catch you up. *DEEP BREATH*

Last time I was here I was firmly with my girls Trinica and Jinx! I still am and we're doing well. I was unsure about Esteban but I hesitate no longer. I was initially very open to Esteban and pretty sure I had a good read of him but Jinx alerted me to the idea that he may be working with Clefford. He came to me with a suspicious question asking whether I did an Idol hunt with AJ to which I responded honestly as I trusted him at that point. He then proceeded to make a really big deal of the fact that AJ lied and said she didn't Idol hunt with anyone else. He then asserted that Trinica and AJ were close and that we needed to break them up. We need to break up an alliance of TWO people out of NINE?! something wasn't adding up. It seemed so extreme so when I floated the Idea of working with Clefford saying he's probably misunderstood (we'd previously been talking about how Clefford was playing HARD already) and he agreed to work with Clefford my suspicion grew. Jinx suggested an alliance with AJ and Bethany to me and after feeling them out I decided it was a good idea to align with all the girls so I suggested to Trinica that we make a girls alliance group chat so I could stay under the radar. Clefford and Esteban all this time I believe thought they were playing us. Clefford suggested a POC alliance to me but excluded the two other black women. :') In the end I made up my own mind that Clefford and Esteban were both playing pretty hard and that it was better to cast my lot with the girls who i'd been able to build some genuine trust with. Yes! That's right ALL THE GIRLS WERE IN ON THE CLEFFORD BLINDSIDE! I'm not convinced that the boys bought the idea that we all voted with them but at least we have plausible deniability. I heard every version of everyones plan but Esteban and Clefford never earned my voice (vote). I think that's it for the recap. Bye Clefford hope to play with you again lovely!

Moving on to today the twist is really going to shake things up I may potentially need to create new alliances and build new connections so I need to read the other tribe's intros. On the current alliance front Jinx, Trinica and I are solid though I have noticed that Jinx can bulldoze a decision in her favour so I'm trying to set clear boundaries. Jinx playing so hard may cost her so I've started creating contingencies to strengthen our alliance in the event of that. Bethany and AJ are great and really trustworthy so far. AJ practically fell on the sword and put her life in our hands last tribal so we could vote Clefford out. I'm really vibing with AJ which is funny given I didn't think we would get on at all. In the event Jinx is eliminated AJ is the backup plan. Additionally, if I am moved to play with a whole host of other people i'll be checking to see who else I can pull into our alliance.

I can't currently think straight because I haven't slept properly since Friday so i'll sign off now with a migraine. buhbye!

Arvin Bentonon

I am very happy that we won again, it gives us more number in the tribe swap, but I'm still nervous about it.

Trinica

We lost the challenge, as was to be expected, and now Esteban is scrambling, as was also to be expected. I stayed up way too late the last several days working alliances and doing challenges, so I'm trying to just take a moment to myself tonight before things get nuts tomorrow. Hopefully an easy vote for Esteban, though he said something about "doing whatever I can to stay" which made me a bit nervous. Still, we don't have the numbers to split a vote so all we can do is stay 5-strong in the pink venom alliance with Jay, Toni, Bethany, AJ, and myself and try to get Esteban gone.

I did raise voting Tyler out with AJ-- mostly because I've now tried to chat with Tyler twice and he's put up a pretty clear wall both times-- but AJ doesn't want to get rid of him because "he seems to trust" her. And I think an ally of my kinda-ally is my enemy, so I may need to work a Tyler vote out with Jinx and Toni separately. But we'll see what happens with tomorrow's tribe swap!

Brandi

Legit have decided I have an undying alliance with someone due to both of us loving Taylor swift. I stand by this decision and even if they voted me out later…… I’m not gonna regret it

Esteban

i know this is kinda sound villain idea but… I told azri to rally the cote to aj again and ask bethany, toni and tyler (which i know it wont work bcoz of the black widowws or whatsoever non-men Alliance name is)

Then i will tell bethany , toni if someone mentioned a name. And play it their to plant a vote to azri. (I am so sorry!) just to save my ass.

I will tell tyler about this plan about azri

I will tell trinica and aj about azri rallying a vote against AJ.

I hope that works. 1 in a million shot. But maybe this will be a bob part 2 scenario.

Hairie

Winner winner chicken dinner! Now Tromoya is 9 strong against 7 Hidra

Tyler Frazier

Okay. So I’m in 0 alliances and starting to believe the non men alliance theory (I’ve become the type of man I hate to see on the show 🥰) so im really not slaying this game. Anyways the plan is to throw Azri to the wolves to keep Esteban and I safe so hopefully that’s what happens 😄

So regarding the plan to throw Azri to the wolves he’s actually doing a lot of the work himself by targeting AJ, if the theory is true and he’s openly targeting a non man that incentivizes the alliance to target him and not me or Esteban. However, Esteban is getting really paranoid so he could mess it up for himself. And if I get voted out that’d be goofy

jinx

i must confess my loneliness and relentless internal dialogue is killing me

wait …i literally got a britney spears lyric wrong im such a bad zilennial 😭😭😭

my loneliness is killing me (and i) i must confess i still believe (every conspiracy!) when i’m not on skype i lose my mindddd give me a signnnnnnnnn (that’s not the relentless angel numbers omg) hit me (telepathically) one more time!

missing my shitpost one line confessionals that i used to make sure i even submitted on this thing. i HATE THIS THING I NEVER REMEMBER!!! would rather have the whole VL in my confessional than have to submit to this 😭 even though it’s really useful like WE GOTTA DO SOMETHINGGGGGGGGGGGGG DIFFERENT

anyways thank u for doing an amazing job hosting i appreciate it ty to the cast for being very lovely ppl and thank u for coming to my horrible spoken word confessional poetry jesus DIED FOR OUR CYNTHIAS!!!!

Azri

https://youtu.be/Jb83IApa4Dc

Chelsea

yessss! Perfect! We got picked into our new tribes. 3rd pick from original Tromoya, right in the middle of the pick list. And three of the alliance on our team. Although I have a feeling Raffy and Hairie were kinda the leaders and they’re both there now, so we’ll just have to go on without them….alas…

Hairie

Honestly I felt that the tribal swap went perfect!

Me making the tribe guess a movie where with a weird made up phrase and getting 2 tribe mates to respond is giving me anxiety.

Julia

This swap is so going to fuck me I just feel it in my bones. We are easily the weaker tribe when it comes to overall challenge performance and it isn't even close. I can definitely see us losing every single swap challenge, especially when there is for sure going to be a video challenge or something along those lines. I feel good though that I'm guaranteed to have at least one of jinx or aj which is chefs kiss so hoping we can get them to flip

Champagne

Nervous for the tribe swap! I feel like I’m in a decent position! Just tying to keep reaching out to everyone on my tribe

Raffy

What a morning! Brandi told me that Hairie was trying to find an idol by saying a secret phrase in the tribe chat. He needed people to reply to his message. Brandi, also, had the same task so she put her message in the tribe chat. They both got the replies that they needed around the same time. However, neither will admit that they received the idol. So, now I know one of them doesn't trust me. I am inclined to believe that Hairie has the idol. He seems like he wants to play this game very strategically. However, he should get better at his lying if he has the idol. At the very least, I know where my tribe idol is. Now, I just have to play around it. It helps that both of them are working with me, so I don't have to worry about the idol being used against me for now.

My swapped tribe is... not ideal. Bethany, Tyler, and Esteban know how I tend to play Survivor. For all I know, they could be plotting to turn my allies against me at the swap. I want to change my gameplay genuinely, but will they even give me that chance? This is what worries me. I've managed a good position thus far, but it could all come tumbling down. At least I have Champ and Hairie. Though, with JayJay, I remain unsure if she trusts me. I'll put my trust in her though. I really want to connect with her, but I've been having trouble keeping conversations going. Hopefully by tonight we can bond.

Tyler Frazier

So the plan to target Azri seems to be in motion and unless I’m gonna get served up a big ol’ plate of blindside butter beans then he will be leaving tonight. It almost felt too easy but I’m not gonna get overly paranoid bc not everything needs to be complicated and things do get complicated when people start to get paranoid.

Chelsea

The more I think about it, the more I’m like….Raffy’s gotta go. I don’t want him getting too far. We will be on separate tribes now for the time being, so I’m biding my time but this needs to happen. I will be very sad if I go before he does…

jinxcast for round 3: on being of heart and fearing nothing (local queer cries NOT CLICKBAIT)

https://voca.ro/18yq35wmiyP7

Bethany

kay so sorry this confessional is so late, i was extremely busy yesterday/today!! but basically, the last vote went perfectly. jinx had their messy moment with the idol play and our non-men alliance was kept under wraps as far as i know!!

unfortunately, i contributed to our tribe having a 30% challenge disadvantage this round, so there were basically 0 chance of us winning. thankfully, that didn't seem to make anyone feel any sort of way about me. and today i got a 10% advantage for the next challenge so that's a slay!! so we are back at tribal because we had lit rally no chance of winning that unless the other tribe decided to throw on purpose.

going into this tribal, a lot of the people from pink venom wanted esteban gone, for painting targets on aj and trinica's backs from the first day. this was not ideal for me, as i do think esteban trusts me and i can continue to work with him moving forward. but i also wasn't going to put my neck out for him as i'm sure there is already the perception of us being a duo just from playing the same season together before. however, thankfully the target changed!!! honestly idek why it changed but it changed to azri which is perfect because i have pretty much 0 relationship with him and he's more inactive with me than other people.

the swap is a little scary but i'm also excited for it!! i know champ from another org, so i am excited to talk to her and then just excited to meet all the other new people. i need to be more social on this swapped tribe because i've kind of dropped the ball so far on hidra because i've been so busy and i'm just thankful there are a bunch of girlbosses who welcomed me in because otherwise, my game hasn't been great.

as long as i can make the merge, i think i will be in an amazing position being the only one from pink venom to come to this tribe. AJ told me that she told hairie to protect me (slay) and i am going to have an advantage over them by forming new connections. if everything goes according to plan, azri will go home tonight, tyler will receive votes, i will play dumb, and my game will improve moving forward!! i plan to be a lot more active in both the game and confessionals and i promise to deliver on that <3 ttylxox

Tyler Frazier

I didn’t know Toni was british that’s so fun

episode two: "You've never heard such spiteful fiddling." - Trinica

Tyler Frazier

I feel like AJ is doing a lot so I’m gonna have to tell her to chill soon. She wants to target returnees which like is weird and I’m not sure I wanna do that

Hairie

As expected, it was a unanimous decision and Fifi went home.

Finally forming an alliance with majority numbers. Stoked to get the game running but we need to kick butt in these challenges.

Trinica

OK I am absolutely letting paranoia get to me but it just occurred to me that jinx and clefford could possibly be playing together and getting everyone involved in this drama on purpose... I don't even know what that strategy would entail But I am absolutely fucked if they are working together so I'm going to choose to believe that everything's fine and I'm OK.

I have a feeling we're going to lose this challenge. we have some members of our tribe who go hard on challenges like me and aj and other members who I think slacked a bit on the 1st challenge. In this challenge there's no room for slacking, nobody will be able to pick up your load so I'm worried we're gonna lose if anyone goes MIA like with the first challenge. But if we go to tribal hopefully it's an easy vote for leifa since she hasn't really been around.

Hairie

I'm just afraid how much of an impact my 10% disadvantage would affect our overall score for this challenge. Putting in a 110% for sure!

JayJay is sacrificing so much sleep time base on the timezone she's in. She is a queen!

Tyler Frazier

So Aj is like super paranoid ab idols and advantages and like I don’t really care bc I have no clue what’s happening with them. I don’t even know how to start looking so idk what else really expects me to do ab that. Also I just wish AJ would sorta just chill out bc I think she could be a good shield for me but she’s gonna become a liability VERY soon if she isn’t already. I give her 4 tribals MAX before she’s booted if she keeps it up

Trinica

FUCK I just got exposed while hunting for an idol in front of the entire tribe. I want to believe that people won't think anything of it/will assume that everybody is hunting for idols, but I think it's more likely that they fixate on my name being out there as a threat.

I NEED us to win this challenge to avoid tribal and put some space between this fiasco and our first vote.

AJ asked me to take her on a double hunt tomorrow so she can hunt solo, which I'm fine with because I need a break from solo hunting for a bit 😅

Toni

Theme: "Two days in and Esteban is still TBC"

Hello World!

It's been an interesting journey so far. We won the first challenge so I was able to sleep lol. Thank God. I wonder if i'll be able to stay up tonight to strategise if we lose this one. I wouldn't want to be away from camp right before a tribal :')

In other news I definitely think Trinica and Jinx are my solid team. I've gone back and forth with Esteban and don't know what to believe now. Jinx believes Esteban is playing double agent with Clefford which doesn't make me feel good at all lol. Not to take it personal but it makes me think why did he decide to team up with Clefford instead of us haha. This is all speculation of course. My gut tells me Esteban hasn't actually found an alliance yet. So 2 days in and still no idea if I can trust Esteban. Perhaps I'll devise a test if we win this next round.

Onto AJ who by far is the greatest surprise yet in terms of how compatible we actually are haha. I know I wrote her off 2 days ago but what's the use of the mind if you can't change it. I thought there's be no way 2 strong type A personalities would get on but we're definitely getting on like a house on fire. What I appreciate about AJ's temperament is that I feel like she says what's at the top of her mind and you don't have to think too deeply about what it means because she's said what she means. You know? see what I did there? because AJ always says "yk". ha! BANTER.

Anyway, I'm petrified of Clefford I really need him to go asap. I've heard from 3 sources that he's targeting Jinx which is scary because we won immunity AND it's round one babe :') chill - it also means he needs to go because we could lose a number if he eliminates Jinx and that would weaken our alliance. I'm even more petrified of him because he hasn't made any effort to get to know me at all lol. I mean I get it though, I do give off unfuckwithable vibes. Even though i'm a sweetheart. Maybe I should have said the survivor player i'm most like is Drea. She was kind of unfuckwithable too. Balance is required in empathy, like I said Logic and Heart. Do no harm, take no sh*t!

P.S. I'm sure Clefford is a lovely human :') just a big threat in the survivor game.

Signing off still confused about Esteban? byeeeeeeeee

Alright it’s getting closer to seeing who got taken out of the other tribe and thus see what the next challenge is! So far Trinica and I have formed a core alliance - sorry Cleff - and are idol hunting together. We’re trying to rope in Esteban to take me on hunts so we can gather more coins and info on island stuff.

I’m also trying to see if I can convince Tyler to take me as well. If I can get enough people doing down a path with me as possible then they may be convinced to stay hunting with me for long enough that I can keep tabs on what everyone’s getting.

I've done it. I've convinced Toni to bring me on her idol hunt. Rn she doesn't know I've gone on duo hunts before so fingers crossed she doesn't find out. Aaaaand small islands are hostile. Cool cool cool.

Jinx

round one: part one of me being targeted for no reason by clefford even though we won immunity 🫶🏽 https://voca.ro/1opefEPnyumi

part two https://voca.ro/1ncski26u2Pq

9:49 PM imagine giving me a reason to vote you out! when we’re not even going to a vote! i prayed for times like these!

you know i am transparent and honest but i do know the cardinal rule of survivor you don’t have to show them all your cards to win

my best confessional to date welcome to the round two part one

https://voca.ro/1kOwf318dzBPHairieThank god Hidra took the mercy rule. Lowkey felt bad for Esteban

Trinica

https://youtu.be/2FDr13kJC3I

Alright I feel like this round was so short, and y’all really deserve a longer confessional so here it is. Welcome to the AJ Recap - coming to confessionals and a Viewing Lounge near you. So let’s get this whole thing started. The beginning of this is I guess when the next challenge got released early. I was so happy because it meant I wouldn’t be staying up too late that night. Tonight I’m staying up until four for the results though so I’m probably going to just stay up through the night. Your girl be ballin.

Anyway I’m also happy I stayed up last night because it meant I didn’t get put on fucking tug of war which would have been terrible for me. I say me but it would be awful for the tribe too, but bad for me because if we lose - which it’s looking like we may and it’s terrifying - I’d be to blame. Luckily I got battle of the wits (y’all will see my phrases in there for sure) and I got to have a more chill time. But I’m pretty happy with it.

Now onto more interesting matters. I’ve done my first lone idol hunt. It went pretty well all things considered. Better than Trinica’s. Trinica and I aren’t revealing we’ve hunted with each other yet. Now I managed to convince Toni to take me with her. Congrats to me I feel accomplished. It ended quickly but now Trinica and I know not to go to the small islands on our next hunt together. Toni also wants to take me tomorrow which is good. Now comes the issues. We’ve made an all girls alliance chat and hopefully unlike IRL survivor no one fucking flips.

Bad news is Jinx told us that Esteban has been saying he thinks Trinica and I are close because of how we keep pushing him about the idol hunt. I mean he’s not wrong but he doesn’t need to know or be saying that to anyone. So honestly I think he may be a threat that needs to get disposed of quicker than anticipated. He seems sweet but he’s really playing and he’s the oldest person here which means he’s got more life smarts just generally. I’ve played the I’m just a young superfan who is super excited to help out and play even an online version of this game card and it seemed to have worked. Trinica and I are trying to think of damage control though. So far I know Jinx seems to be buying it. If she really does idk but fingers crossed.

I’m trying to play a team player, and look sweet and helpful enough to be kept around for a long enough time. Besides if we’ve got a strong enough group of ladies to take the merge by storm then maybe we’re going to be a new BWB. Stay tuned y’all, trying to make Mother Parv proud. Until next time. (which if we go to tribal will just be chaotic rambling from me) I leave you with a sense of impending doom and a feeling we’re going to tribal looming over me. I can’t explain why I just have a feeling. Ok until next time y’all.

Tyler Frazier

So shockingly (not shocking at all) it seems people are starting to get fed up wirh AJ and Trinicas aggressive and messy gameplay right off the bat, particularly with the way they’re handling the idol hunt which is fine with me. If I need to let them fly off the rails I’m fine with that. Especially if someone else is leading the charge, since it still is so early on in the game the last thing I wanna do is make any waves right now. I’m gonna just go with the flow because there’s no need to really be playing hard early on.

As for my game in general, I think socially I could be doing a bit better it’d probably be good to chat some more but I feel good about a few people. Esteban, Clefford and Bethany are all people I could see myself working with. A big part of my strategy is not coming on strong at all. I wanna be perceived as the “chill young guy” who’s just here for a good time so that way nobody wants to target me in the near future.

Bethany

i'm honestly laughing so hard right now hearing about clefford telling people he is a newbie LOL in what world aksldfjsa;lkdfjakfja you are putting way more attention on yourself getting all worked up about it my friend!! just be chill!! it's okay!!! the newbies are not scary they are actually very nice!!! they are not on a witch hunt against you rn so don't give them reason to please

Chelsea

I had zero concept of what an “endurance” challenge would look like online and I am floored at what tribe mates are accomplishing in the Tug-O-War and Build a Boat challenges! I hope it doesn't look bad that I didn't want to do that...TrinicaOK I'm like 99% sure that we are going to lose this challenge and we're going to tribal tomorrow. More pressing is that Esteban has told Jinx, AJ, and Toni (and probably the boys) that AJ and I are tight and a threat. AJ and I are doing damage control now, but it's looking DICEY.

AJ also scares me a little lol. She's honestly diabolical, she puts on this "I'm only 18 and I'm scared" character like a second skin and I think she's got everyone wrapped around her finger. Thank God she's on my side (for now).

Toni seems to want to hold on to her relationship with Esteban, but I need her to see what a snake he is. Toni said that Esteban wants to work with her to break up AJ/I and Clefford/the boys. I have to really get Toni convinced that the girls alliance is strong and Esteban is too risky to work with.

Esteban

Round 2

This is tough. The challenge is tough. So I was tasked to do the tug of war with azri and Clefford. It is an odd choice of people to be in this game though. This is the opposite of what people who choose this selection as a good one.

So everyone had the chance to do hunting now and AJ and Trinica is pissing and exhausting me. I am all aware (if i am wrong then damn me) now of what the little kitties (AJ and Trinica) are doing. They ofc wants to excrete all the information they wanna get on me. AJ asking (assumely) most of us to go idol hunting with them as confirmed by Toni. They thought that they are in control of all but lets change this plot a little bit. I will be in a self-destruction mode and I don’t care if this will bite my ass up. I will rally CLEFFORD, azri and tyler to go against these amazing girls. Hoping with the backing of Bethany and Toni we will caught the purring cats on their game. ;) I’ve been playing dumb and nice for so long but I wanna try new things. :) so lets see how these things work. ——————— Not me devoting much on the challenge that iI know we already failed. I just want to see how the other group persist and used this story that i did my best on the challenge with my tribemates. I have more than 20 alarms in the middle of my classes! Lol ———————- People is kinda scared now about the result. I already knew that in our challenge (with azri and clefford) we already lost. It’s hard to really be against the vampires of the opposing tribe. Really hard! __________ Not trinica telling me that Jinx lose the challenge. I am curios and sus with that though. Heroes challenge. Alone? Is there any advantage? Hmmm probably. She intentionally lose that to gain advantage. ——————— Talked to Toni, Tyler, Bethany, Clifford and AZri of what Aj doing about the idol hunt. Caught her that she talked to most of us to work together in an idol hunt. Very suspicIous. I wish these people will work with me and vote either Aj or Trinica out. Or jinx? Idk. Lol this will be so intersting.

Chelsea

So mad that the Battle of the Wits was the only one we didn’t win outright! Want to make sure ppl see me as a competent person, but since we won no one else will probably even remember….fingers crossed!

Zach🤠

So the hero challenge was a slay. Jinx and I had so much fun. I let jinx have the idol so my tribe could win. And I think I aligned myself with jinx in the process if we both make it to merge? Zach and Jinx at merge with an idol?? power duo i fear

It's been crazy y'all. Shit hit the metaphorical fan before we'd even lost yet. I think we all knew it was coming and everyone's been scrambling every since. Esteban is spreading lies about Trinica and I, trying to make it seem like we're super tight and all that. Luckily I think I may have won over Jinx again, Bethany doesn't seem to want to write a girl's name down, we're just waiting on Toni.

In the meantime I know I have to be on top on idol hunting like nobody's business. There's five hours between tribal and Jay getting home so I should be able to manage. Wish me luck y'all, I'm not ready to go home just yet and I'm gonna fight to stay in this.Brandi I was so worried about this challenge but it was almost a full sweep!!! Proud of us 💪🏼

Trinica

Okay, so after AJ and I scrambled last night after finding out Esteban was snaking around trying to pull girls to turn against us, we did a LOT of damage and scrambling. In some ways, working with AJ is a dream- she's sharp and willing to put in the work, and it does feel like a democracy between us. On the other hand, she does sometimes tend toward emotional playing (especially now when she's worried the votes are coming her way) and last night, even though I told her NOT to initiate any game talk in the girl's alliance chat, she sent a giant essay about everything that happened with Esteban (and dropped my name about 20 times in it). The only way to ensure everyone thinks we're in a secret alliance is to refute that 20 times in a giant rant lmao. Jinx influenced her to do all that, and I need to watch that influence on AJ.

Toni reached out and told me that the boys are voting AJ and trying to pull Bethany and her in. I'm so glad I did the work with Toni yesterday to deepen our connection and ensure her I trust her. Bethany didn't say a word about it to me (though maybe she's still asleep), but Toni came right to me, and that's what I like to see. I also got her to post it in the group chat, which is huge because until then I don't know that she put a lot of faith in the girls. But I think we're all tied to each other now.

My biggest question mark now is Bethany, but last night she told me she didn't care who we voted, she just didn't want to vote a girl first, so hopefully she's on the level.

Also, Clefford and Azri both reached out to ask what my plan is after leaving me on read for like 12 hours lmao. I'm playing them like a fiddle put of PURE SPITE. You've never heard such spiteful fiddling.

Raffy

Brandi came to me and wanted to start an alliance with us and Champ. I feel like Els now because I'm in two alliances very early in this game. It also limits who I can target. Now, I can only really target Zach or JayJay, neither of which I want to vote out. I guess this is what I get for being nice haha. I'll just roll with the punches to be honest. I can definitely see the vote falling onto Zach if we go to tribal before a swap, but I really don't want that. So, instead, I am going to try to win every immunity lol. Good thing we won this last one. I wouldn't know what to do.

Esteban

Today, it should be AJ or I. If not AJ let it be me tbh. That’s the GOAL. 😉

I planted seed to all except TRInica AND JINX coz i know they will leak it to her.

I will let clefford think its his plan and cultivate it to other players. I have my SE ASIAN men “LANGIT” with azri and clefford. Toni trusted me ( i guess more than AJ) and clefford planting to her the POC alliance. Bethany my patagonia queen, and tyler home i played with in a live game which we worked together. If this works well I will be damned feel good.

If it’s not then well played my friends.

Tyler Frazier

So it’s looking like I gave AJ way too much credit. She will be voted out at the first tribal she attends! I mean technically I was right still I gave her max 4

Guess who the guys are gunning for. Spoiler alert it's me. Im hoping the girls stick with me like they say they will and we can get Esteban. Anyway I went idol hunting and it was soo promising but someone got there before me. I'm almost positive it's one of the guys. Anyway yeah I'm super nervous for tribal

Azri

https://youtu.be/mqsaRX7Jdto

Esteban

Self-destructing Esteban

I felt weird playing this kind of game play tbh. I don’t know what’s on my mind but am so into this plan. Reasons: 1) I wanna make a new version of Esteban’s game. 2) I am a little not to the ordinary Mental State. 3) I am just feel not respected by how AJ and Trinica makes me feel like a dumb person pushed to the limits. ;)

At this point IDC anymore if I am going home as long as the other votes goes to Aj. Just give her a little THOUGHTS to PONDER. Me going home tonight is not their bragging rights to take because I am aware of what I’ve done. It should not be me or Aj it’s should be CLEFFORD and / or TYLER. But, i took the risk and just went through it and probably saved these guys another day. :) as they deserve it.

My thoughts about the votes are:

SCENARIO A - my hope! Vote against AJ - (esteban, clefford, azri, tyler, Bethany, Toni) Vote against Tyler - (jinx, AJ, trinica)

Scenario B - bad

Vote against AJ - (esteban, clefford, azri, tyler, Bethany, Toni) Vote against Esteban - (jinx, AJ, Trinica)

Scenario C - Worst though IDC anymore.

Vote against AJ - (esteban, clefford, azri, tyler,) Vote against Tyler - (jinx, AJ, trinica, Bethany, Toni)

Are we gonna live another day or are we going home at peace? Let’s find out.

LOVE CHEETOS!

Tyler Frazier

inx just told me I’m the vote. That’s awk 🙃

Jayjay

Everyone did so awesome on this challenge, we were definitely determined to win this one and it shows with our results! I’m so proud of us! I don’t know if I should really be concerned with making strong alliances so early in the game however I have asked someone to go on an idol hunt with me. I think the player I’ve grown probably closest to is Hairie as well so I look forward to getting to know him better and possibly form an alliance with him. Glad we don’t have tribal council to go to tonight and am excited to see what’s for the new challenge!

Julia

The majority group on my tribe was formed with me in it and I’m honestly really stoked. I still feel closest to hairie and definitely still weary of raffy, but I’m just going to see where things goTrinicaThis vote is so MESSY. Azri, Esteban, and Clefford started reaching out this morning, fishing for a name to vote for but giving me NOTHING in return. I don't know if they realize how transparent they're being but it's truly sloppy gameplay. I fed them all Tyler's name, but if they're smart they won't believe me. Clefford said he'd make a chat for me and esteban and him, but then he ghosted me (obviously).

Jinx started the "in vecepia's name we trust" WOC alliance with me, them, and Toni. It's good to have, but I'm honestly nervous about both of them-- Toni because she wants to hold on to Esteban, Jinx because she's playing with her emotions (or at least trying to get us to BELIEVE she's an emotional player) and either way is a loose cannon.

Jinx has an idol and is hellbent on using it tonight (which is weird...I don't get her reasoning, I think there may be a time limit on the idol maybe?) but their plan is to just be as chaotic as possible to try to pull votes so they can use it, which is just...a bizarre move this early in the game. And I think what's happened instead is all the boys are paranoid we're voting Clefford, so I suggested switching to Esteban, but Jinx WILL NOT let that happen.

At this point, my prediction for tonight is: the boys have an ace up their sleeves, AJ goes home, my game is fucked, and lowkey it's Jinx's fault lol. Fingers crossed I'm wrong.

Arvin Bentonon

I am very happy that we won because I put a lot of effort in the tug of war. I have problems getting up with my alarms but I thankful that the other tribe surrendered.

Champ

So happy our entire tribe pulled their weight and we won. I’m nervous for the returning players because I feel like they’ll have an advantage over the new bees. Trying to stay as active as I can to read everyone’s messages and hopefully find an idol clue

Hairie

Wow we won almost all the challenges in divide and conquer! Impressive !!!

Episode One: "I'm gay. I'm smol. And I'm afraid." - Raffy

Jinx

preseason jinxcast 🫡 https://voca.ro/1uwnTpvAwwND

After religiously reloading the wiki page until the official but unofficial starting time, I have now seen the cast on the wiki and my only words are oh no. The fact that three names on my tribe already have filled out wiki pages means that they’re returnees which is dangerous to begin with. Two seem to be only from 15 which is a slight relief, though judging from his wiki bio and what I’ve seen of his games thus far, I’m very worried about Raffy.

Multiple games on Stings alone, has hosted multiple times (again stings alone) and is “seen consistently as a big threat in the merge.” So I either align myself so tight with him that I’m dependent or I find a way to remove him from the game early. We’ll see how that goes, fingers crossed we aren’t the first to go to tribal council. Also worrying me is this gem from his wiki page.

“Typically, he is seen as a villain in the ORGs he plays and is not afraid to admit it. He is best-known for being a chaotic rat.”

???

Wait no thoughts, official cast reveal just went up. NO EVERYONE IS EARLY US TIMEZONES OMG WHAT. Well my sleep cycle is about to be absolutely fucking destroyed. Just demolished. Like completely gone.

Ayyy Esteban said I, quote, “look stunning,” end quote. An early ally perhaps? OMG AM I IN AN ALLIANCE CHAT RIGHT NOW? IS THAT WHAT COOL PEOPLE IS??? I’M OVERJOYED HOLY SHIT.

Trinica

Oh my gosh this is all so exciting and also overwhelming!!! I feel like I'm second guessing every decision I make already, and the game literally just started.

I think our tribe is going to rock this first challenge, though. I didn't want to be the one to suggest making a spreadsheet (because...second guessing everything) so I'm glad AJ did to keep everything organized!

So it's the end of Day 1, and I'm so curious how things will shake out. I reached out to Jinx pretty quickly and hopefully they don't think I'm moving too fast right out the gate, but I had to tell them their introduction literally made me snort. We didn't get to talk a lot but I'm hoping to develop that relationship a bit.

Clefford reached out to me pretty quickly as well. I'm a little hesitant about him-- he's wearing a buff in his photo and he was quick to tell me he's played before and that we should team up. On the one hand, it's nice to have someone be so up front about game play...but on the other hand, it feels really fast and I have to wonder if he's saying the same thing to all the girlies. He also immediately asked me who I was vibing with, and the game just started so I just told him I've only chatted a bit with Jinx. He mentioned he likes AJ, so I suggested a group chat. But then immediately second-guessed making it because the game JUST started and I don't want them to think I'm forcing them into an alliance immediately. Hopefully this doesn't screw me over. And numbers wise, there's only 4 of us in it so we need more to have the numbers advantage.

Esteban reached out to me as well, which I was so happy about. He's one of the 3 (including Toni, who I haven't had a chance to chat with, and Jinx) that I was most excited to chat with and potentially ally with. I was moments away from asking him if he'd like to join our chat as a 5th member, but then he said he was glad we were having such a genuine chat and not talking game play, so... we'll pause on that one. But I'm ending today feeling like I'm in an okay place!

I am worried that I'm the only one who's really going for the individual scavenger hunt challenge, but maybe people won't notice?

Jinx called me smart and organized. I know we just met everyone but I’m feeling confident? Which is terrifying. I don’t think I’m going to sleep tonight. Just gotta be online when everyone gets up. Be the first friendly, young face they see and give out info. I think perhaps that’s best for my game rn. Fingers crossed.

Can I. See the bridge from my kitchen window? Maybe. I’m about to fucking find out babey. Can’t see the good bridge from here. Will have to wait till morning. Gotta find out where to find a candle and an instrument as I own neither. Also have to work on my people skills. I think I’m going a bit overboard. Maybe talking too much. Too much directing?

God I can’t do most of these individual reward items. LIVE BUG?? There’s no way I get all of this by tomorrow. Yk what no I can do this. I am determined to be able to idle hunt early.

FUCKING UPDATE CLEFF JUST ASKED ME TO BE HIS CORE ALLIANCE.

Raffy

I'm gay. I'm smol. And I'm afraid.

Arvin Bentonon

First of all, I felt really excited about the challenge but I was so nervous after seeing the list. I can only find few items in the list. I had a lot of fun in collecting my items and for that's the most important thing.

Toni

Toni here!

Theme: It's day one and i'm already feeling anxious. =/

My game plan was to coast but i'm not sure if that's going to work haha. These challenges require quite a bit of communication and because it's all online its hard to just coast. Right Now, I'm really connecting with Jinx and Trinica as we're a similar age and have similar life experiences. Esteban has also been chatting with me in the DMs but i'm not sure about him yet as I'm yet to find something genuine that we connect on... i'm sure we'll find it - i'm sure he's lovely too! AJ is a very type A personality which I like because i'm also an undercover type A personality which means I can leave the overt leadership to her and "lead from the back". I'm not sure I can necessarily "work with" a strong type A though because you quickly realise your decisions are not your own and it makes it harder to balance between being completely unseen or just being barely noticeable which is the plan for this first portion of the game.

Conclusions on my read of people's personality is yet to be confirmed. It's only day one. Open to anything right now but also trying to be vigilant.

My plan right now: Continue connecting with J and T while also contributing to leadership from behind. There are 10 people in our tribe so if I can work with at least 3 other people consistently we'll have good numbers. I'll wait it out this week but next week I plan on creating a DM for Me, Jinx and Trinica + (one more person).

I'll sign off here as anxiously excited!

Hairie

Cast reveal and everyone looks fab! Personally felt that Fifi from my tribe was someone I'd get along well. She's giving me good vibes just by the photos. Excited to meet everyone else still too.

I was surprised to see that there were many international cast - Quite a few representatives from South East Asia region too

Some of the items of the list really made me think like A LOT. I was beginning to question what falls into the bug category - "Is a snail a bug?" takes photo just in case. "Are ants a bug?" takes photo just in case hahah. In my head was just circling around the movie "A bug's life" and just seeing what I could find. I did try to stand still for a photo of a butterfly but that was a tough one to grab a photo of.

For sure thinking outside the box and all around it for some of the items - Curious to know who has a real metal shield hahaHairieI am not ready to see anyone from my tribe go just yet so hoping we win the first challenge!

Trinica

I did my first idol hunt and hit a dead end...immediately. Imagine my surprise when AJ reached out and said she wants me to idol hunt with her 😳 I was shocked because Clefford was the one who brought AJ into our Cool People group, and when I've tried to chat with her privately I felt like she was holding her cards very close to her chest. But she asked me to go to the merge with her, and though she wasn't someone I was planning on allying with initially because I'm worried she's making herself a target with how active she is in the main chat, it's always good to have a secret alliance in your pocket. Hopefully it's one I can trust!

Esteban

A FORMAL INTRODUCTION OF ESTEBAN

So, CHEETOS! Here we are again. I AM Esteban of Survivor Stings: Patagonia! If you remember me or maybe not. Lmao. From the Philippines but recently here in Devils Lake, North Dakota!

I am excited to be back! Some reasons why I am here playing again are the following:

1. To redeem myself on writing a better confessionals! Lmao. Like, i need to! I wrote one of the most boring confessional on my first game. So, redemption is a must. (I had a one-on-one confessional making session with Pedro so I guess i will be better this time) 2. I just miss HOME. My first ORG family. It is always good to be back!!!!! 3. I wanna win! Or at least be on the merge again and screw the FTC over. Lmao 4. I would love to try to be the villain this time (i know it is hard but not IMPOSSIBLE) 5. Representing PATAGONIA here 6. I WANNA TAKE RAFFY OUT before me ( a goal just added after I saw the iconic RAFFY playing)

So, let the B**ch*n begin in 321! Lol. Kidding. So excited how this season will work on me or against me. But, as always, I will enjoy this ride.

WELCOME ME BACK CHEETOS!

Jayjay Salais

Super friendly team :) Raffy seems to be more of a leader with experience which is nice. Didn’t know there was going to be so much diversity which I love! It’s gonna be fun and cool to get to know everyone and how this all plays out!

Esteban

Let’s talk about HIDRA TRIBE. So last night after all casts was added to the group, Jay dropped the first challenge and it’s a SCAVENGER HUNT. Most are really so hyped to do the tasks (especially the newbies) they went thrust it right away. Duly noted AJ, TRINICA, BETHANY, TYLER and CLEFFORD right away picked some tasks that they can do. Which is good. Unfortunately, your boy, me is kinda busy partying last night. So i tolled them SORRY I couldn’t do much tonight. And just like that MISS JINX called me saying STOP APOLOGIZING. Lol. THEY are starting!!!! They are starting! But I am gonna keep it cool and be nice to them until it’s time to bid goodbye.

Tribemates

CLEFFORD - my homeboy, BUNSO (younger brother), as he called KUYA (older brother), right away we talked a bit and assuring our relationship to work together. I pushed him to create an alliance of POC (Asian boys) with azri. He created one and called it LANGIT (means heaven). I trust him for now, but base on his last game i know that he is a dangerous player. A strategic one. And loyal to none but himself.

AJ - seems to be the likable one. He take the the lead and hype to be on the game. I can sense an ADELINE vibe with her. We talked most of the time. When i asked her who she is closely connected to she is kinda skeptical and secretive to answer.

Here’s her miss universe answer:

“Comfortably? No one yet. I don't think you can really say you know where you stand in a tribe until a vote.”

With that, she is playing. I am watching. :) this is a Meghan vibe. I am scared. LMAO

Trinica - you can not not like TRINICA. They are lovely and fun to talk to. We talked about life and all. They and their wife wanting to go back to their homeland for honeymoon is so sweet. I am feeling good with her tbh. I am thinking AJ and Trinica would probably work together (like a Meghan and Melissa vibe I am getting) so i wanna be the 3rd of them again. Lol

JINX - i have an on / off feeling with her. I wanna work closely with her coz i don’t wanna be against here. She is fierce. I like it and i don’t like it at the same time. CLEFFORD and Jinx are kinda have an old relationship but idk if they figured that out and start afresh. With that i wanna be with them too. Just the 3rd again.

Bethany - my Patagonia majesty. I would really love to work with her now!. After a failed (not much actually) relationship on our previous game i wish we can work together this time. Though i am kinda skeptical if he might throw my name and be against me. IDK. This time will try to keep them feel a good vibe. She might be also working with Trinica and AJ. Just the vibe. They seems fit to each other.

Toni - i love my majesty from England. We talked a bit later like morning after the first night but i love her vibe right away. She is kind and upfront on asking who am i vibing as of now. I am sensing that she is a smart lad and should watch for

Azri - i talk less with him but i am making sure that we have a genuine connecting. I learned some bahasa Indonesia before that is kinda same with Malaysian language so that is where i start my connection with him.

Tyler - I played with him once. That is in a mini game survivor (a live one) we started working together (thanks to king Brayden) we made it to top 3 and unfortunately RAFFY screw as up. But, hey this is the best way to continue the short-lived relationship we had before. So fingers cross!

And Liefa —— uhmmmm 👀

And while writing this Toni told me that CLEFFORD is playing hard already. Someone told Toni that he created a group chat an hour after the reveal and no one is talking there. Creeeew creeeeew. Crewwww crewww the sound of crickets. Toni you are my designated whisperer. Love it!

Brandi

I feel like I’m letting my group down because I can’t find very many group items but the individual items are easier for me lol HairieThis scavenger hunt got me thinking - What is a bug? I took photos of a snail, ants and millipede based on my memory of the movie "A bug's life" but Google told me otherwise. I'm going bananas.

Hairie

Had a chat with Julie wondering if we should get the idol for ourselves but I failed this time around and got a 10% disadvantage. From worrying and now anxious to tell the tribe about the disadvantage *slaps forehead*

Guess who is an idiot and didn’t realize Cleff was a returnee until too late. It’s me I did that. Alright I’m going to lay in bed for fifteen minutes and call that a good night’s sleep. NEVERMIND SLEEP IS FOR THE WEAK. WAFFLES ARE MY TRUE CALLING.

Timeskip time Alright it’s afternoonish the next day and I actually did all the reward items. I’m so proud of myself for the reward items and for the tribe with how we’ve come together through this! I really hope we don’t lose, and I can only hope our organization and proofing will be what’s saved us in the end.

Omg I really hope we can pull this off. We’re getting so close to at least 50. That’s 90% of this done. I’m really hoping the other tribe had miserable luck with the painting and weren’t as organized as us.

Allegedly it's a really close game and I'm worried. I think we need like four things left. Praying we get them. Also slept through a timer I set for myself but others in my family did not so. It's down to the wire, and there's four items separating us??

Please survivor Tumblr gods, let it be them who go to tribal first.

WE WON OMG IM SO RELIEVED. I CAN SLEEP KNOWING I WON'T HAVE TO VOTE SOMEONE OFF/WORRY ABOUT BEING VOTED OFF

Jinx

https://voca.ro/1lI2mswCXvZs first impressions

Tyler Frazier

So I kinda flopped in the challenge! But that’s okay we work so I can always get ‘em next time. My tribes been super nice though so they’re awesome for that and hopefully my performance just brushes over

Esteban

We’ve won! As we should! The tribe’s morale is soooo good. Tyler just felt bad that he fell asleep and forgot to upload some photos but we are fine.

Leifa???? MIA still. Tony part 2 for me I guess. She ghosted us

Manifesting a vote out for RAFFY! Please. Lmao.

Raffy

Right now, my tribal thoughts are focused on voting Fifi out. She did not know when the deadline was nor did she submit anything for the challenge. Initially, it was going to be JayJay since they were inactive on the first day, but they really came through in the challenge. I am going to try to push for Fifi on that basis. Hopefully, it doesn't make me a target early on. I have been very transparent that I am a returnee because lying is just not going to be a part of my game this time around. I am really, really, really going to try to be nice and hero-like. Let's see how long that lasts.

Chelsea

whew! that was a crazy first challenge! i was busy in the morning with parent duties so i didn't get to much of the scavenger hunt (S.H.) until early afternoon. i was so excited to see how much everyone was getting into it. however, when i saw Fifi said she wasn't going to be able to submit pictures until tomorrow, my jaw almost hit the floor. she essentially admitted to everyone that she had no idea what was going on. i am having really good conversations with Arvin, Hairie, Raffy, Brandi, and Julia, and from what i can tell, we all think Fifi is the one that needs to go. we just don't have much else to judge people on. and because of that, plus the fact that i got one of the higher scores, i feel really safe for the first tribal.

regarding nascent alliances--i feel like Brandi and i have a good thing going, and then with the other four, it seems like the five of us are having good talks with each other, but not all as a group yet. i do know that Hairie and Julia and both talking to me, Raffy and Arvin, so that feels good.

additional thought: Raffy kinda took over the uploading duties for the S.H. I am very grateful, because I didn't want to use my own accounts, but it feels like it could catch up with him later. I know of at least one picture that ended up not counting bc it was a vest and not a jacket, and he uploaded it too fast without double checking. I had said I would get that picture, and I had one that if he had waited or checked before uploading, he could have used mine. while it won't hurt him this time (Fifi looks obvious at this point), if he takes too much responsibility, then it's too easy for the consequences to blow back onto him.

as long as others continue to use him for that, i will too. i won't be the last person though who is relying on him. i am happy for someone else to take the heat at this point in the game. i will be monitoring this though and make sure it doesn't look like i can't pull my own weight if it comes to that.

additional additional though: Arvin called me his survivor mom! i don't feel that old! and in an online environment, as long as you are technically savvy, age doesn't really matter at all so i'm a little miffed at being pigeon-holed that way, but i am also very caring and nurturing in general so maybe it's that? well, that, and the age. ugh lol.

Jayjay

So far this whole experience has been really cool and different. Being able to connect with all the team members from around the world is pretty awesome! I think so far we are all pretty involved and committed except maybe 1. Which I’m hoping for this first tribal council will be an obvious vote for those who did try their best and contributed to winning this first challenge. Raffys my favorite person so far. He’s helped me really get the hang of things since he has a bit experience and quit a bit of patience it seems like which is appreciated. I don’t really know what to expect as this game goes on but I’m excited to learn and find out! Cant wait for our next challenge if I’m still here! 🤞🏻

Chelsea

also! i just had to say i'm low-key super proud of myself for already having good rapport with multiple people. i have ADHD and i'm always worried i'm being completely oblivious to someone or something because let's be honest, it's not like it's never happened! so yeah, very sensitive to that and so pretty happy with myself after 24hrs of playing Survivor :)

Trinica

So after the challenge clefford came to me and started talking shit about Jinx. Kind of out of nowhere. He said that he asked her if she would start a clean slate with him and that she said no…. which I was suspicious of because Jinx had previously told me that they had no problem with clefford. So obviously I immediately told Jinx. I also told them I was drunk (which I am) cuz I want her to feel like she can trust everything I'm saying because I'm saying it through the filter of being very drunk. (I may have regrets about this strategy tomorrow morning.)

So clefford tells me that he trusts Toni and Esteban and he wants to start a new group chat that Jinx is not in. He also told me that he's basically a newbie because he's only played once; obviously he's trying to appeal to me being a newbie but mamma didn't raise no fool.

So now Jinx wants to do an all women's alliance to kick out clefford. Which I'm all for at least for one vote. I do want to keep Esteban around even though I know he's been talking to clefford as well. But I think if I can pull this off clefford will have no idea what's coming. Time to put my high school theater experience to use.

Clefford

I'm happy that I will not be the first person leaving this game.

Being a returnee is hard. You have to prove yourself coning back into this game.

I've had a separate conversation with AJ and Trinica and they both aware that there are returnees this season. I asked AJ to be in a alliance with me and I hope that she's genuinely down knowing how I played my previous game. I honestly think that the rookies already formed an alliance against the returnees.

Seeing Jinx here again made me scared at first. We had a not so good relationship on our first game together and I hope that we are good now. I genuinely want to work with her, because she looks cool and kind.

If I go early, it's fine. I already had my chance.

Hairie

DANG IT!! Lost by 4 points shucks ... did they have a live sheep? Hairieugh we lost and now we have to go to tribal and vote someone out. Everyone seems like wanting to keep the tribe strong and only 1 name has been floating around. Well, as long as it ain't me :)

Esteban

well i was looking on the casts again just awhile ago and realized that uhmmmmmm i did Raffy wrong without him. Knowing. And i realized i need him to maneuver in this game. So i hope he will survive.

It is so quite here (or just in my end?) jinx talked to me via voice calls and its funny and i like it. She said she wanted to work with me and clefford (okay???) but i thought these 2 are against each other. Should i wanted to be in the middle of this war or run barbir run away from the drama? Idk!

And leifa…. 👀👀

Tyler’s mistake might get some targets on his back good thing we are safe.

LANGIT is an alliance with clefford, azri and I. I really dont know how will it benefit me yet as Clefford might be a little too much to bear by others. Like on his own mouth he said he wanted to create more alliance rightaway. Like dude calm down (or not) it’s up to you but don’t stain my game :) lol.

There might be a brewing alliance with the girls AJ TRINICA AND JINX AND MAYBE WITH Bethany. If thats right then i might be bff with these girls and be there +1 :)

I am still trying to work out with bethany. I cant tell if she really wanna work with me or not? 🥺

Toni is one heck of a smart player. I need to keep my eye on her. As of now she told me that Clefford is in his radar.

Cheetos this is a new game indeed. Gotta wake up!

Julia

Raffy being here is the most disgusting thing ever. He’s going to take me out preswap most definitely. I just know it. The newbies are adorable I like them a lot. Jayjay being married to Ryan from 43 is such a slay. Trust wise I really like Hairie and probs trust him the most

Bethany

hiiiii first confessional of the season wooo! i'm doing this now so in case i don't make a video confessional in time i still get a confessional in for the episode but hopefully i'll have a video confessional too.

i'm feeling good about our tribe!! we worked really well together to divide and conquer the scavenger hunt, even though some of us were more helpful than others lmao. AJ is giving needs to be in control vibes which i'm totally fine with. i also already LOVE jinx, we have the same sun/moon sign and our rising signs are sister signs so purrr love that sm i feel like we are really going to get along. i'm happy to see esteban here, he did vote me out last time we played together but this is a clean slate and i'm not going to have that affect this game. Toni and Trinica also seem very nice and I am vibing with them. I have not yet talked one on one to Tyler, Azri, or Leifa so I want to talk to them today! also i didn't do the individual scavenger hunt because i just didn't have the time but honestly i don't think it's a big deal, an idol would be nice but i would also like to not need one anyways lol but yeah i plan to share more in my video later!! ttylxox

Tyler Frazier

Okay so AJ is giving me a good amount of information right now which makes me think that she is open to working with me. AJ is like the exact type of player that I would wanna work with considering my play style is a little more low key and go with the flow so by pairing myself with someone who right off the bat is gonna be an aggressive player could really help. I also feel good about Esteban and Bethany and I have mutual friends so I’m hoping that I can start to build a relationship there

Trinica

https://youtu.be/sHZeXyi602w

Raffy

Hairie offered an alliance with me, Julia, Chelsea, and Arvin. I don't really know how I feel about this. I can tell that Hairie is definitely a strategist. He is going to want to do anything to make it to the end which I can respect. He'll be a fun person to play with in the game. I'm just unsure of Chelsea and Julia. I can't get a good read on Chelsea and how she wants to play the game. She seems like the type to have social connections everyone. And Julia is unpredictable. I feel like she would have my back, but not in a "I will tell you everything" way. More like "I will do things without telling you" way which I don't know if I can trust. However, I need to just say yes and move on. Its better to be in an early majority alliance than not. Other than that, I should be pretty safe for this tribal unless the newbies don't like returnees.

Zach

👀Hello! Today has not been a slay. I woke up late and then was blind for my show because I forgot to grab my contacts. Not to self: don’t play a game during the run of a show again. I think we’re going with the easy vote of Fifi due to inactivity and not participating in the challenge.

Champ!

:)Love my tribe but I’m super upset we lose! We only lost by a couple points but if everyone contributed we could have won😭 I want to keep our tribe strong so can win moving forward :)

Arvin Bentonon

Out tribe did well in the challenge but the other did better than is. I am very nervous about the tribal council, because I after we lost I just slept the whole day. And didn't even talk strategy with anyone. I hope I would still be in an alliance.

Hairie

I don’t really fancy the idea of “keeping the tribe strong”. We don’t know what the next challenge is, someone could be terrible for this challenge but slaying it in the next. In an ORG setting, keeping the tribe strong (in terms of participation) is important because I don’t wanna keep coming back to tribal.

Azri

I'm so excited for this game. Although it's quite overwhelmed and because I'm still in the other game at the same time. Day 1, I managed to talk with some people and bond together And guess what? I managed to get into an alliance early in the game with my fellow Asian bro. I'm stick with it. Then, there's AJ, Trinicia and Jinx who also quite friendly. That's my gang over there.
