it's so funny to me that colin's fangirls were trying so hard to dance with him (flirting, winking, etc) but the second he said they should dance with benedict they said "okay mr remarkable blue eyes 😍"

Ep. 4: Revenge Will Have to be Put on Hold ~ Kevin

Well RIP Ben, I was just getting to know him and he was totally nice AND liked musical theater, we were going to be great friends lol. Anyways there is going to be an announcement soon? I really hope it aint merge yet. But if so, I still have my alliance with JD, Drew and Alex. Hopefully when merge comes we stick together. And JD knows one or two people on the other side and I am sure the rest of us do too so maybe we can work some stuff out and be able to still stay strong. I also recently found out someone already has a rainbow idol. I finished all the stamps, but Amanda stated they seemed to be fresh outta rainbow idols. So thats scary. But maybe I can get one after one is played. Hopefully. 

I hate fake merges you sick fucks

let the records show that i came up with the name Charlotte's Angels and I'll be perfectly satisfied if that's as big as my impact will get in this season ________________________________________________________________ Okay sooo I just woke up so now time for my thoughts on everything that happened Um well Drew and I have seemingly "reconciled" but like we do that every season. Now if we're gonna be real I'm not the snake in this relationship but HOPEFULLY third time can be the charm this time around (even though it's second chances but whatever). As for the other K tribe people (Kirihuti? Kiruhiti? I don't know)...they're nice? I have some of my Taveuni children Jack and Steven, Ashley's nice, I'm scared of Alex. It seems like for both tribes the lines are pretty foggy, since there was hardly any action premerge not much trust has been built. So the merge will be...fun. Anyways I'm now in two alliances. There's the alliance of me LA Keegan and Kai, and then there's the more iconic Charlotte's Angels alliance of Jay B JD LA and me, and I love this alliance to death. LA and I are in the middle of these two alliances and as far as I know none of them know. This does give us 6 on our side already, so hopefully by playing in the middle we can get the numbers on our side pretty quickly. Sooo I honestly have no thoughts or predictions on how the first merge vote will go because everything's still uncertain? Lmao as long as it's not me! ________________________________________________________________ I forgot my first impressions thing that I was gonna more in depth into sjdjfjsb Alex - I know him from Neverland...yikes... I'm still scared that he could've found something in the Reef. Unless AlxCrks is someone else entirely and if that's the case well fuck Ashley - she seems nice and I wouldn't mind working with her. Lawful Good JD - The Walmart version of LA. And by the transitive property, that makes JD the, like, dollar store version of Charlotte. Jack C - son!!!! i hope he's still naive as usual and hopefully we can buddy up Steven - another taveuni child!!!!! i don't really know what to expect from him but hopefully it's all good things??? Drew - hiss hiss motherfucker please don't kill me this time 

Rankings of everyone in the merge bc my opinions are still relevant and important: LA Kai Jay B JD Keegan Sydney Drew Ashley Jack Steven Colin Alex Anyway that's all for now 

So I didn't even get a chance to talk about Ben leaving us. We were all ready to vote for Jack but Ben's going on vacation so he's not going to be able to get online, we voted him out cus he wanted us too. Now there is like, 13 people and we're merged. I got home from work last night to earwigs crawling into my room through my window so I didn't even realize we merged for like a hour cus I was making my room safe to sleep in again. Literally, Welcome  to survive, I had bugs and jay had this crazy lightning Strom. It was interesting. I'm worried about where my alliance is going to go from here. I wanna say that were going to work together but really, I don't know what everyone else bonds are like. I think  Ashley is the one mostly to stick around so I'll talk to here about the alliance later. I'm hoping that, I always say that this is what I want my alliance to be but idk how it's going to go: Me, LA, Jay, Kevin, Ashley, Alex, Jack would be nice. I don't think I really care who the last person is, Lori said she likes Kai and him and Ashley bare talking some too so I think that's more likely. I also wanna say drew or Alex will be the first boots, because I see drew as a threat but it's hard to really say. Were out numbered right now and there's no chance of Lori voting with us yet because if we want to get info from both sides then we have to play both sides. But I'm not sure how long that's going to be able to last before some people was to target is for knowing each other. Gonna take a 'okay' from Trevor and just not really talk about her much anymore. And really, she'll get voted out before I will.. I think, cus people actually recognise her name and in the main series she was known to be good in challenge and I was just a wittle old goat Lol So I didn't tell Lori I had the idol ether, I don't know if I'm going to, I would much rather not tell anyone until I know I can use it for some good. I don't think I'll use it if someone from my tribe is going home, unless it's Ashley because she's the one I'd like to work with the most at this point, and what better way to show someone your loyal then use an idol on them haha.  My reasoning for not telling anyone is that I dont want other people using it, when Ali told me he had the idol I was running different idea on how we could use it and really, I don't want anyone to use my idol but me so (greedy) but my idol, my plan :) ________________________________________________________________ Edit: Kai quit... Kai will not be in the alliance... Or any alliance lol but that means that we have the largest alliance so far. Me, Ashley, Alex and drew. If we stick together that is. And thank god there isnt a challenge tonight. I get the feeling some people won't be doing it or won't be putting as much time into it cus of the 4th of July kick. 

I definitely dont remember what I said in my last confessional so this might just be a complete repeat SO we merged. Which is interesting and not entirely good or bad. Immediately after the merge Drew came to me and said he'd drop his entire game to work with me. That's a plus but I'm not 100% sure I believe him. I'd love to work with him and think it would be a good way to twist the season around. We'll see what happens with this first vote and that'll determine whether or not I can trust him. On the plus side, he just told me he is the one who found the rainbow idol. That's a definite plus. If I need too I can use that as leverage to blindside him. Also, Kai walked today. Which is pretty bad for my game because we had a day 1 pact to never vote each other out and to stick together. (maybe not day 1 but close enough). So I no longer have a solid #1. I'm trying to talk to Ashley and get her on my side/me on her side. She's expressed before she's wanted to work with me and hopefully I can use that. I just need to wiggle my way into whatever majority there is on this merge. As of right now, there's 6 original Taranaki and 6 original Kahitu. So if we stick with tribal lines it will be an interesting first tribal council. But honestly, I'm willing to flip. That's something I've never really done in a previous season and I'm ready to make the moves I need to get to the end and win. Last time, sticking with my OG alliance didn't get me there. Now's the time to try something new. I have to make the most of this second chance. 

I'm making this while I'm on my way home. I'm debating whether I start right at 11 and go until probably noon or 1pm, since I woke up at 4pm, or risk waking up at some point in the afternoon and going until 11pm. I think I can start at 11 tonight and probably win. I have high hopes. I just really need to guarantee myself safety because I haven't talked to that many people, especially since the merge. Where, wish me luck. 

I don't know if I made a confessional since the merge but we merged! I'm with JD  and obviously we got together and shared some tea. She's in an alliance and I told her I was and we formed another with Kevin and Jay, which is something I've wanted from the start. Apparently someone has the rainbow idol so rip

WHEW this is late but I MADE MERGE!! maybe? everyone is speculating it might be a fake merge but................... i'm hopeful ok. Getting added to the merge tribe was intimidating tbh. But also really exciting ofc. Everyone seems nice, but I also need to step my social game up a LOT. It's merge and I still haven't been in a single alliance whew. rip me. I've only had to go to tribal once so far so maybe now is where the game gets interesting? Idk, I'm gonna try hard for that immunity. The only people I've really talked to since the merge has been Ashley and Drew, and they both seem really influential tbh so hopefully that can help me out, but I don't trust my position in this game right now. This game has been going really quickly and I'm feelin' highkey overwhelmed but I'm here to WIN hehe

oh, also, forgot to mention, Kai quit rip. Hope he's alright. 

iuehirgbrfjkdbjkangrngaioh I fucked up, I should have flopped at like... 7 hours but I just couldn't stop. I had to keep going until I couldn't. Anyway so alliances, me and LA are ovbs working together (for now, I wanna beat her after all) I don't know how to do this... School yard pick if I end up actually winning and mt alliance thing that its a school yard pick after this two cus its two winners. I don't know who to pick because I just... hate school yard picks. I'd much rather be the last one picked them that. I'm hoping that Amanda is going to split us up on her own and then the two that win are gonna be safe. On another note, were going to be submitting our season tonight, lori has done most of the work as of now too actually lol Another side note is that the Limitless tv show is really good.

So...just realized that Ashley is Ashley from Myanmar and now I really gotta keep my guard up because I was against BOTH Keegan and Ashley in that hell season! Thanks Amanda! ________________________________________________________________ Well I've never been swapfucked before so that's fun and new. We'll see if I can develop a semblance of a social game to live until merge, but I'm also GOING AWAY THIS WEEKEND so the odds aren't great. Catch me going pre-merge for the first time!

Well this is fucking terrifying. Like you are separating me from JD?!?! I am so sad omg. Okay but like I am a little sketched by why Jay picked Drew and JD picked Jay. Like obviously there is stuff happening that I dont know about but the trio is like hella scary. But I have Alex and Keegan! So hopefully I dont die. Pray for ya girl, I am going in. They dont call me the social queen for nothing. 

Hello I hate my new tribe. I'm last og Taranaki chosen and I have like 0 good social relation with anyone on my tribe. I'm worried about this next tribal whew. 

Well,  I'm happy to be safe for a round but I'm not overly happy about being a captain (but yay for being a captain twice now) just because Jess is one too and I wanted to stay on a tribe with her, and Kevin and Jay but bitch stole both of them. I have Keegan again, which is good we were working together and I've been talking to Ashley lately so that's good. Hopefully we end up being a strong group.

Y'all not only separated my main alliance, aka the most iconic alliance that's touched the Athena series, but you put me on a tribe with Drew? If we're gonna continue the theme of Walmart insults, Drew's the Walmart Russell Hantz, though possibly more troll-like. But I guess things are set up well. We only lost LA, so we have a 3 person alliance on a 6 person tribe. There's Sydney, who I think will stay loyal to the...Teriyaki tribe, whatever it was. There's Drew who...yeah. There's Jack who unless Jordan cursed the boy shouldn't be worrisome. So we can probably flip anyone over. I haven't talked to anyone about tribal buttt maybe the best choice for me isn't Drew. Like I know he picked me and we're buddies and if we had stayed at merge I wouldn't have considered taking him out at all. But first of all, he's a threat especially when his competition is Sydney and Jack. And second...this might be the best opportunity I'll have to take him out. Like why let the opportunity fall out of my hands yknow. And plus like, revenge is cute especially when I take it out on someone who's like quadruple my age, y'know? ALSO the tribal we're doing is for 11th place and I absolutely refuse to get the same placement as last time so jot that down

OKAY SO WE DIDNT MERGE. I think everyone called it. the last immunity challenge had two winners, and the winners not only won immunity but got to start a schoolyard pick for new tribes. JD and LA won immunity. So my new tribe is now LA, Alex (who picked me in the schoolyard pick), Ashley (who I picked), Colin and Steven. LA I was in an alliance with at the start of the game, so maybe I can use that. Alex and I played together in Sentinel Islands, I might be able to use that, plus we had some nice conversation during the fake merge. Ashley and I are on good terms. I don't have a whole lot of interaction with Colin or Steven. ALSO SO, immediately, Alex came to me and said that Drew suggested a Sentinel Islands alliance. I'm not sure I believe Alex but Drew did mention wanting to work with both of us. Alex also suggested voting for Colin. This would avoid rocks which I definitely don't want. And now Ashley is getting my opinion on the vote. Hopefully I'm in a good position and I can stay in the game until at least the real merge. Which I'm guessing will be at 9 people with a 2 person FTC. Or maybe we'll merge at 10 with a F3. Who knows anymore. I just need to make sure I'm safe. I don't care who is voted out, as long as it aint me /sandra.gif

I didn't get swapfucked I'm sorry

See we're making a group confessional (Steven/Ashley/I) and they're talking about targeting Drew. And how they don't know if Drew has anything. I know that Drew has the Rainbow Idol so go me playing both sides this is fun.

Group Confessional - Alex, Ashley, and Steven

JD is so profoundly cracked that I don't even need to pretend to be less cracked than I am. She's doing all the 'biggest threat' work for me. Basically what I'm saying is that JD is my meat shield for now. She'll have to be voted out eventually because she and LA are a duo and I'm not going to be #3 to a duo, but for now she's a great meat shield. Glad I brought her into the community.

Okay I'm a little late on the new tribes confession and I need to do one to explain thing but Cghskqkdudgdkdkgjkdkg I DID NOT COME HERE TO MAKE LIKE EASY I WANNA MAKE IT FUN and a little stressful is good to ;)

Unfortunately revenge will have to be put on hold. I kinda just realized this is my first real tribal council and I think it's a bad idea to go too crazy for my first time. I just...hope I don't regret this lmao 

Okay so I'm proud of myself. i'm actually talking to everyone and I kinda know what to expect for the vote! this has never happened in Athena for me! i'm GROWING as a player! i'm shooketh. anyway. the vote. I feel like it very well may be between me and Steven due to original tribe loyalties. Everyone I've talked to has mentioned the strong possibility of a 3-3 split. IF it does split I would actually prefer if they put votes on me instead of Keegan, just so I don't have to draw a rock. Right now it seems like Ashley or Alex is our only hope of swapping to our side. Except Ashley ghosted the moment I asked her about her thoughts on the vote so that's worrying. Alex, however, I am WORKING my social game with him. I just found out that he's really really interesting and I can actually have a conversation with him? like I went to talk to him about the vote and now we're just talking. He's actually iconic I'm glad I met him. WHEW but I gotta stop with the mushy stuff. I gotta make sure I stay. Wish me luck yall! _______________________________________________________________ I am hella playing the victim right now. I want Ashley and Alex to feel sorry for me and keep me. I love Steven but the guy gotta go. I hope it goes to rocks and I'm immune. 

Well, I might be sealing my own fate with this vote tonight. Unless something goes down at tribal, I'll be voting for Colin. Hopefully with Alex, Ashley and Steven. LA and Colin believe I'm voting with them to vote out Steven. But 1: I don't want to go to rocks. I'd rather be blindsided and voted out than rocked out 2: I've played two games now where I didn't flip and it could have cost me the game. I think it's time to try flipping. 3: I've gotta start making moves if I want to win. I can't get the FTC votes if all I did was play it safe and make the easy votes. So hopefully Alex, Ashley and Steven aren't lying and voting me tonight. They told Colin to his face it was either him or Steven. That's a little suspicious to me. Maybe my best course of action is to force a tie and then on the revote, switch and vote out Colin. In that case, if the vote is for me, I'll be safe at rocks provided no one flips. If it's not for me, I can flip and tell Alex et al that I was just playing along with LA. Who knows. This is a tough vote
