Alex’s Rites of Passage

20th: Austin M.  Didn’t get a chance to talk to you but you sounded like an interesting guy from your bio. Maybe in another game. 19th: Madison Unfortunately, you ended up being one of the targets because you weren’t participating

18th: Autumn  From what I have heard, you are a very intelligent player so I’m glad that you weren’t there to help OG Tad haha 17th: Jacob I think you were trying to play an under the radar game, but it seemed like you ended up trusting the wrong people 16th: Akito Akito, you have an incredible energy. You wanted to play this game fast and loudly and that can be a little frightening to others 15th: Glen  Unfortunately, you were put on a swapped tribe with a majority willing to throw challenges to get you out. Luckily, it ended up being bad for them since their losing streak continued and they had to vote out one of their own 14th: Jayden Jayden I never got to talk to you, but you were voted out because your tribe’s “reason” for losing challenges ended up just being an excuse for not being able to compete. Must be the worst way to go 13th: Jonathan Jonathan, we only talked for a little bit, but you were very sweet and showed self-reflection and honesty. I hope you end up in a position where you can enjoy the life of a dog owner 12th: Trevino You were a little late to our party and, while you did integrate well, you were always a step closer to the door than most people 11th: Spencer You were very knowledgeable and understanding of this game. You got along with people very well and all that put together made you very dangerous. 10th: Tracy  Your vote was the first time that I was shocked. A lot of people saw you as part of a very tight 3 and my alliances were willing to turn on me to break it up. We are very different people but I enjoyed connecting with you 9th: Nick G. The game became less funny when you left. Come oooon! 8th: Nic  I genuinely would have gone deep into this game with you, but you made it harder and harder to trust you. Maybe I was wrong, and you were really trying to do what was best for us two alone. Hopefully we can discuss everything at Final Tribal 7th: Wallis I always sensed a hesitation to work with me from you until right before you were voted out. I am really bummed that a little bit of chaos is what took you out of the game. 6th: Zach  Your charisma alone made you as dangerous as all your strategy and will to win combined. I am glad that you were on my tribe rather than having to work against you 5th: Bryan  I considered you my rival but in any other circumstance I think we would make a great team.

BEE’S RITES OF PASSAGE

20th: Austin M. (4-2-2-1-1) (Tadjoura) (Day 3)

We were trying to work together - you, me and Bryan but when you started throwing out a plan to take out the super idol, Bryan had my back and we booted you. Lesson learned: Never go against a woman with a super idol.

I am sorry though dude, I think you would have played a good game.

19th: Madison (3-1-1-0(4)-0(1) (Dagouein) (Day 6)

Since all I know of you is Nick's sock puppet, it sucks we never got to talk!

18th: Autumn (Medically Evacuated) (Tadjoura) (Day 9)

AUTUMNNN! I tried to get something going with you, but you weren't around as much. Too bad. Stay strong chika. From what I've heard of your past ORG performances you're pretty dynamite.

17th: Jacob (4-1) (Dagouein/Yaguer) (Day 12) You were the first one I was so sad about! We could have torn it up in this game, but Jonathan wanted your idol out and so that is why we did you first. I trusted you 100 percent though, and I know if I hadn't been throwing challenges to save my earth sandwich (and Bryan) I could have kept you around. But unfortunately we only had two days to bond.

16th: Akito (4-1) (Dagouein/Dagouein) (Day 12) I agree with you about social media. It really is the worst! Keep doing you, bud!

15th: Glen (3-1-0(1) (Dagouein/Yaguer) (Day 15) Oh Glen. You got swap bleep-ed. You were without an idol and I know you'd given up from the moment you'd seen the tribe results. Still, we had good chats and I think we were on the same page at times. Our chats helped me be firmly anti-Zach and crew. So you definitely influenced my part in the game. For that I thank you.

14th: Jayden (2-1-0(1) (Tadjoura/Yaguer) (Day 18) I am soooo sorry yet again! I shouldn't have thrown SO many challenges. That was my move to make and you got caught in the crosshairs. I was closer to Jonathan and Isaiah. So while you thought I was the only one with you, I had to make a tough choice. The game sucks that way. You're a great guy though. <3

13th: Jonathan (4-3-0(2)-0(1)-0(1)-0(1)-0(1)) (Tadjoura/Yaguer/Glenkito) (Day 20) MY BOYYY! You know I will forever like your videos and send you memes. This was the first time that I was really blindsided by a vote because I'd been in control for so long. The merge took my whole game out of control when you went. You should have played that idol! Earth sandwich forever. <3

12th: Trevino (8-4) (Dagouein/Dagouein/Glenkito) (Day 22) I've told AJ and I'll say it again. I tried to make sure Zach was the target and not you, but you blew up your game by talking to SO many people! So many contradicting stories! You're freaking hilarious though. We only chatted on the phone thing once, but you had me laughing so much I was crying. I did really wish you didn't go creating so much doubt though. It could have been a game changer if we'd really worked together.

11th: Spencer (4-3-0(2) (Tadjoura/Tadjoura/Glenkito) (Day 24) My second painful blindside. It hurt when they took you out... I cried like a baby! I didn't see it coming. But then again, I did. Because I kept trying to get you to play nicer with og tadjoura but you aligned with Zach and his crew too quickly and that caused doubts. But you were my guy! Even though people said you were shifty, I knew that we were loyal to each other and that our plans were legit. You're funny, smart and a great Survivor player. I hope you get to play again sometime because next time you'll be unstoppable.

10th: Tracy (6-4) (Dagouein /Tadjoura/Glenkito) (Day 26) Okay. I KNOW you kind of despise me, but hear me out. It wasn't fake. I wanted to work with you, and then you took out Spencer. You, Zach and Nick G were at the top of a very powerful alliance. Everybody knew it. And after hearing stories from Glen and Jacob that you guys were a clique that didn't really include people, I got high school flashbacks and wanted to take you guys out. I get it, that's not an excuse. But I've always been for the underdog and you guys appeared like top dogs to me. I did talk to each of you and felt at the time that I connected well with you. The game could have been different if we were on the same tribe at some point, but that's the way it works. I like you though, and I wish we could be friends. :(

9th: Nick G. (5-4) (Dagouein/Tadjoura/Glenkito) (Day 28) We only really chatted personally once, but you actually seemed like a great guy. I, of course, had to get over my idea of you being a top dog in your alliance and see you as a person. Once I did though, I was sorry that I hadn't gotten to really get to know you. I hear good stories all the time. Anyway, I kind of booted you when I told Bryan about the plans on AJ. It went exactly how I wanted it because I knew we'd never really work together since we didn't really talk. Still though... I think I missed out on a lot by not getting to know you.

8th: Nic (2-0(2)-0(4) (Dagouein/Dagouein/Glenkito) (Day 30) Nic!!! I helped to organize the blindside on you! I'm so sorry! But once I realized that you, AJ and Isaiah were doing a lot of moves together I knew that I had to do something to break you three up. But your boys are still in the game, so that's something! You are such a nice guy. I'd love to hear more of your stories another time.

7th: Wallis (3-2-1-0(1) (Tadjoura/Tadjoura/Glenkito) (Day 32) My bae. My love. My Ryan. <3 Seriously, you were it for me for almost the whole game and I feel responsible for you being out. I should have given you the super idol (again)! I mean I would have done almost ANYTHING to keep you in the game, even if you would have kicked my ass royally in FTC. -- When the tribe swap happened we were connecting so well we were almost hiveminded! And then we were separated and not speaking to you sucked so much! It was agony! When merge happened and we got together again I was suddenly so happy that I decided to throw those challenges or it might have been you gone before making merge. It made it all worth it. -- I was playing both sides though and sometimes that made you look bad, and I think that's why the others targeted you. Instead of owning moves we made, I put all the blame on you like "Wallis wants to do this and I don't know what to do" even though you know we were a team. I know it's the game but I feel awful because hurting you is like hurting myself. <3 -- I've promised to fight AJ to the death for you by the way. So that should be exciting. Either way, I know we'll still have a connection after the game.

6th: Zach (2-2-2/3-1) (Dagouein/Tadjoura/Glenkito) (Day 34) Oh Zach. What can I say about Zach? So, so many things.

You know I love to hate you. I remember when I first saw your intro video and I was like "Okay. This guy is so weird. Like who makes a video for something like this?" And then when there was the scavenger hunt and I saw your video doing the ice bucket challenge and I was like "Yeahhhh.... this dude is SERIOUS. I wonder what's wrong with him? He'd better not make merge or I'm gunning for him." Haha!

And then when we swapped tribes and Jacob and Glen told me how you were running things back on og dag, I instantly disliked you. Just because it seemed like you were top of your little clique and you were victimising whoever you wanted from your old tribe. I even blamed you for the name Glenkito! I was like "Where does that guy get off?" (And then I was told it was Trevino and I had to sink back into my hole).

So yes. I was foreordained to dislike you from the get-go. And then we started talking. And I had yet ANOTHER reason to hate you because you were so charming and friendly and funny and I couldn't help but open up to you... in spite of myself since you were my nemesis and all.

But as I told you, we still couldn't work together. You had your crew and I had my crew and I wasn't going to be bottom of your alliance and you weren't going to be bottom of mine.

But then everything changed. My people got voted out. Your people got voted out (guilty as charged). And even though, I'd written your name at least a couple of times, we found ourselves working together. By the end of it, that last vote.... I just couldn't write your name down. I knew Alex had flipped but I was sticking by you as long as I could. --- We went to snake town together and survived.

I still hate you by the way, for being virtually impossible to dislike. <3 And I'm still invested in your life, so don't cut me out. (Although I bear no responsibility for getting any more attached to you than I am already).

5th: Bryan (3-2) (Tadjoura/Dagouein/Glenkito) (Day 36) Let's see if I can write this without crying. Nope! I'm crying! Boo! That sucks. You were my day one guy. My first alliance. My Toronto alliance. And you kept taking out the guys gunning for my super idol (until you joined with them to get it out at the end), so that made me feel incredibly safe with you. I told you like, everything, even though sometimes it blew up in my face and sometimes you mocked me for it. You're like the bro I never had! Because my brothers irl don't talk to me much and don't have anything in common with me. I mean that. Seriously. I feel like we made fun of each other in such a brotherly-sisterly way and that was so, so special to me. We had each other's backs as simple as that.

I was trying to get you to read between the lines that last vote when I kept telling you how awful I was feeling about the vote, but I knew if I told you outright that it could have been me going so easily. And although I told people I would vote you, I meant what I said and I kept to my promise that I'd never write your name down. I was just hoping someone else felt the same and you'd still be in the game. But they didn't and that sucks.

Anyway, you're amazing and I totally forgive you for being a Calvinist. Kidding! Chat soon and we'll have a real debate!

AJ’s RITES OF PASSAGE

20th: Austin M. (4-2-2-1-1) (Tadjoura) (Day 3)- This Vote was a crazy first Vote. We talked a few times, but unfortunately the alliance thought it would be better to go your way.

19th: Madison (3-1-1-0(4)-0(1) (Dagouein) (Day 6)- We didn’t get a chance to talk, but I heard you were iconic.

18th: Autumn (Medically Evacuated) (Tadjoura) (Day 9)- Queen. Wish you weren’t evacuated. *TRIBE SWAP

17th: Jacob (4-1) (Dagouein/Yaguer) (Day 12)- Never on the same tribe, but I’ve always loved the name Jacob :P.

16th: Akito (4-1) (Dagouein/Dagouein) (Day 12)- Damn. I wish we actually got to work together, but I felt as if you weren’t actually gonna flip on your OG tribe AND you didn’t have an idol so you had to go.

15th: Glen (3-1-0(1) (Dagouein/Yaguer) (Day 15)- Icon! Wish we got to play together.

14th: Jayden (2-1-0(1) (Tadjoura/Yaguer) (Day 18)- #MeanGirls... Wish we didn’t get swapped.

*MERGE/JURY*

13th: Jonathan (4-3-0(2)-0(1)-0(1)-0(1)-0(1)) (Tadjoura/Yaguer/Glenkito) (Day 20)- This was SUCH a crazy tribal and I’m sure you only went home cuz people thought you didn’t have an idol.

12th: Trevino (8-4) (Dagouein/Dagouein/Glenkito) (Day 22)- Damn. I SOOOOOOOOOOOO bad wanted to make finals with you, but you started playing SUPER hard soooo fast and everyone caught on and there wasn’t anything I could do to save you..

11th: Spencer (4-3-0(2) (Tadjoura/Tadjoura/Glenkito) (Day 24)- Robbed King. You were close with the people I wanted to be close with so this had to happen plus we didn’t talk as much.

10th: Tracy (6-4) (Dagouein /Tadjoura/Glenkito) (Day 26)- You were fun to talk with in the Tribe chat. I wanted to work with you, but unfortunately your ally couldn’t keep his mouth shut ;)

9th: Nick G. (5-4) (Dagouein/Tadjoura/Glenkito) (Day 28)- UGHHHHHH I can NOT believe it came down to me or you this tribal. We were gonna make f2, but you Zach decided to leak everything to Wallis and when I found out last second i was about to be blindsided.. I had to put your name down... TWICE ;)

8th: Nic (2-0(2)-0(4) (Dagouein/Dagouein/Glenkito) (Day 30)- #Serv-Ivors! Ugh! We were building trust and it was sad to see you go too soon. You were killing it tho!

7th: Wallis (3-2-1-0(1) (Tadjoura/Tadjoura/Glenkito) (Day 32)- I’m still mad at you for probably telling Victoria to hold my shoutout video hostage! You had this vendetta against me after voting Spencer and you couldn’t get past that.

6th: Zach (2-2-2/3-1) (Dagouein/Tadjoura/Glenkito) (Day 34)- I honestly thought you were better than what you were :O. This game would have been different, but you just didn’t know how to keep secrets A SECRET!

5th: Bryan (3-2) (Tadjoura/Dagouein/Glenkito) (Day 36)- Damn. I suck. The hardest vote for sure. We played the same game, but you played it better and there was no way I was winning against you in finals so unfortunately I had to do it ;(. I still feel gross about it tho considering I wouldn’t be in the game if it wasn’t for you.

Tribal Council #15 REVOTES (Glenkito)

I’ll go tally the revotes.

Once the revotes are read, the decision is final. Person voted out will be asked to leave the tribal council area immediately. I’ll read the revotes.

FIRST REVOTE.... ZACH

SECOND REVOTE.... ALEX

THIRD REVOTE.... ZACH

That’s 2 votes Zach, 1 vote Alex, 1 vote left. If this is for Alex we have a tie. Isaiah & AJ will then draw rocks.

FOURTH REVOTE.... FIFTEENTH PERSON VOTED OUT OF SURVIVOR IDOL ISLAND AND EIGHTH MEMBER OF OUR JURY..... ZACH.

The tribe has spoken.

*Snuffs Torch*

You will have a say in who wins this game. Head to Ponderosa.

“A 3 way tie tonight, super idol finally coming out, and a clear revote sending home the biggest threat in the game. 5 of you remain. There are no more idols, no more tribal advantages. From here on out Immunity is the only thing guaranteeing your safety. Prepare for a bloodbath. Head back to camp. Goodnight!”

Alex- 52

AJ- 53

Bee- 76

Bryan- 125

BRYAN WINS THE GOLDEN NECKLACE!

[survivor-idol-island-blog]

Individual Immunity Challenge #8

Today you will play COIN STACKER.

You must PLAY LIVE ON CAMERA WITH HOSTS.

Here’s how it will work. You must first get some coins…. You can use ANY COIN CURRENCY. As long as it is a legal standard currency. Whatever currency you choose can be the only one you use. So you can’t use quarters and dimes. So mess around with different coins to find the best strategy. But once you play live it is your final go. Take a few dollars to a store and get a bunch. A bank can more than likely help you out. You won’t need a bank account either.

You will STACK the coins, ONE AT A TIME. we must VISIBLY BE ABLE TO SEE YOU STACK ONE COIN AT A TIME!

When your pile drops you lose. Your score will be the last number you stacked without it falling. Whoever stacks the most coins wins the final golden immunity of the season and a 1 in 5 shot at winning this game.

In the event of a tie, whoever got to that number the fastest wins. Time will start when you place your first coin.

We will give you until 10 PM EST FRIDAY to gather your coins and submit your score! Plenty of time.

ANY QUESTIONS PLEASE ASK.
