Indonesia Finale - "it's what those roaches deserve" - Lorelei

its here, its time for the grand finale! The final five was two newbies, three returnees, all nuCahaya and all with a hunger to pull out the win. Michael, the veteran who had played most recently whose tight bonds with his allies had brought him to this stage. Trent, whose cutthroat deception had been crucial in the season’s events, but whose betrayals left the jury sore at their treatment. Jess, the resident crackhead, who had played a glue role between her many allies keeping the fragmented alliance pushing, but whose games was perhaps invisible to the jury. Olivia, whose balancing of social, strategic and physical game play had set her up as arguably the biggest all rounder, and major endgame threat... And of course, Anabel, whose social game and self-awareness had ensured she had handled her game with grace, and had the unique balance of significant influence over the season’s events, without scorning the jury...

At the final five, after Jess scooped up immunity, it was finally time for a nuCahaya vote out. While Olivia remained a major jury threat, Michael entered the spotlight due to a perception that given that he seemingly directed the alliance, and his large personality, would mean he was credited for the alliance’s work. After Michael called out the tribe mates during his exit, he was sent to jury, highlighting Olivia’s obvious jury threat status on his way out.

At final four, the final immunity challenge was do-or-die for Olivia, but after an impressive challenge performance from Anabel, Anabel stormed to victory in the FIC, earning that last gem in what was to be her winner’s crown. Despite Olivia’s campaigning, the obvious ‘winner energy’ meant she became the final juror.

At FTC, while the jury was critical of all three player’s games, Jess’ treatment of the minority, ‘playing dumb’, was criticised, as was Trent’s consistent, and on occasion, unnecessary lies. Anabel was largely praised, for being open to making moves, for the tact she showed in voting jurors out and for her overall legend status?

At the winner reveal, Isaac & Anabel decisively won Fan Favourite for their charisma and entertainment value, Olivia was the clear POTS for her all rounded game and Anabel was also the winner of the season 7-1-1, bringing the season to a phenomenal end.

TRENT

Last round was pretty simple. I knew I had to win immunity (well i thought i did because i figured stoner would go hard for it) so i gave it my all and won. Then of course stoner starts the lie about the idol. Which I knew immediately was a lie because I've figured out the torches and that it was saying I had the one idol. The problem was trying to convince the rest to not split the votes and freak out. So I did a hail mary right before immunity results. Promised to my tribe that no matter what I wasn't splitting, and if this is the time they wanted to take a shot at me they could. They all agreed to not split and just go all in on stoner. LUCKILY i won immunity so i had nothing to worry about. It seems like most people ended up voting for stoner except for 1 of the 5. I'm pretty sure that was Olivia. Shes been playing a very sneaky game so far and so i'm hoping she doesnt win immunity this week. I think I can get anabel and jess to vote her out if she does not. Then it's final 4.

OLIVIA

STONER IS GOOOOONE!!!! FLYING MONKEYS FOR THE WIIIIIN.

I feel really horrible about voting anabel. I think it was my death knell. She said I’m fine and she isn’t mad but goddamnit I would be and I wouldn’t blame her if she was. I should’ve just listened to my gut.

JESS

I'M SO HAPPY I WON FINAL 4 IMMUNITY! I genuinely thought had I not have won there was a GOOD chance I was getting 5th so I'm feeling #blessed. But now I have to make a CRUCIAL decision for my game. I think at this point I've already lost this game considering who is on the jury. I think the other 4 have managed to piss off way less people than I have and I simply just sometimes rub people off the wrong way. There is no way I'm coming out of this vote clean. I just need to figure out how to play this. As much as I want to keep lying to these people... I've basically been in a 3 person alliance between everyone left. I have one with Anabel and Trent. The other with Michael and Olivia. Either way I'm breaking a final 3 and potentially pissing two people off. I need to figure out the best route here. This is my thought process on what to do: Michael: He has played the best social game of anyone left. He has only received ONE vote all game, hasn't had to rely on Immunity, and I believe he has the jury in his good graces. He can also take credit in creating the Flying Money's and it could be argued he played a giant role in some major moves. Right now I'm leaning towards voting for him. Olivia: Olivia and I have played similar games I believe. I think we have been equally social, both were labelled immunity threats, and I believe she may have the jury also in her good graces. She is also super driven and the biggest FIC threat. Trent: Trent could convince someone with 20/20 vision that the sky is green if he wanted to. He could get credit for being a major player in some major moves this season. He has the whole "Newbie on a tribe filled with vets and survived pre-merge" and "Newbie on a majority vets merge and survived" edit. He might also claim that Anabel was his "puppet" (fucking straight males. Am I right?). Anabel: She played a super under the radar game, she let the big players take each other out and received a lot of votes this season and still survived. She might even play up the fact that she was able to get people to believe she was inactive and such as a strategy? idk. I want her at the end and I think everyone else does too...

OLIVIA

Shiiiiit it’s probably

How the FUCK am I here?!?!?! AHHHHH holy SHIT. This is so amazing. Now I just gotta crush this challenge and I’m THERE! Jess and I have half the points anyway so we can at least tie. If she doesn’t turn on me. Knock on wood. But I don’t think she would

So happy and grateful to be here. So so happy 🥰🤗

MICHAEL

Final 5 Confessional https://youtu.be/WCTxtlKInBg

OLIVIA

I’m telling everyone I’m fed up with the challenge also but I’m having a ball 🤪

Oh my godddddddd this CHALLLENGE IS KILLLLLLLING MEEEEEEEEE

I’m so fucking nervous. I know Jess is trying to beat my name game score and I just hope 145 holds strong ahhhhhhh

I can’t stop bawling. I did the absolute best I could and it’s still wasn’t enough and I’ll go fourth again and I’m never gonna make the fucking finals because this is how it always goes.

JESS

I have a fucking 1 in 3 shot at going to FINAL TRIBAL COUNCIL!!!!! WTF?!?! I'm honestly so excited at the idea of a FTC but so afraid of the decision that has to be made right now. A bitch isn't immune so I could get wrecked here. I love and adore both Trent and Olivia and they both are arguably the two people I believe I was closest with in this game. Either decision I make is going to impact me in my chances to win and I'm going to end up hurting someone :\ SPEAKING OF CHANCES TO WIN.. the way Michael left really scares me. I know my chances to win may be slim here but... I'm really scared he's going to try his best to fuck shit up in jury and make sure people hate me. I saw a different side to him that I do not enjoy whatsoever. I mean I'm sure he doesn't have to say much to get people to hate me but STILL. I hate that I always get myself in these situations where I get so close to people and then I have to cut them. Why couldn't I just be a basic ass player who goes online for like 15 minutes a day like Anabel. No ones feelings gets hurt this way.... I'm essentially the swing vote here (I think) unless everyone turns this around on me. If they do I totally 10000% deserve it at this point. I feel like such an asshat. Also I can't wait to look like such a psychopath when these episodes come out uwu.

OLIVIA (this is ten confessionals in a row and its so upsetting to read)

I’m not sure Jess is who I thought she was 

Once again I’m painfully reminded I never should’ve voted Isaac out. Would I be here if I hadn’t? Probably not but still 😭

I am this close 👌 to losing my absolute shit in the tribe chat. Jess and Trent are making me so fucking angry today and I’m just not fucking ready to go but the writing’s on the damn wall but I can’t blow up or actually be angry because that only cements everything. 

“Can we just discuss this vote in the tribe chat and sing kumbayaa as we vote olivia out? Is that fairest?”

No fuck you that’s not fair I don’t want everyone discussing why they should get me out in the main chat JESS what the fuck

I know I “shouldn’t” be angry and I should go peacefully into the night la de da and that’s what they all want so they don’t feel so guilty but fuck that like we all roasted Michael for being angry (and he might’ve taken it too far) but like you know what 🖕🖕🖕🖕🖕🖕🖕🖕🖕 I know I could win and I know I deserve to win and I wanna be fucking gracious and nice about this but I’ve put so much of my soul and time into this game and I’ve sacrificed a lot to play it and these numbnuts just want me to lay down and die pretty and I guess I’m just too much of a bastard to let that happen 

Oh you wanna “talk about” it in the tribe chat? You know what I wanna say there? “I’m voting for the ever-traitorous Jess and anyone who wants to join me is welcome to and actually highly FUCKING encouraged to” 

Great now I’m sobbing again. I always thought it was Jess and I and now she’s fucking saying it’s been those three the entire time and I’m just a fucking moron for ever thinking we were together. Her and Trent just openly said they’re voting me in the tribe chat. It’s so brutal and I just can’t stop crying. She really just straight up lied to my face this entire fucking game and I believed her I’m so stupid and I really just wanna quit at this point. There’s no chance in hell anabel would ever give me a fighting chance. I can’t believe it’s over and it’s ending like this like this has been such a great game and I’m just so depressed 

Anabel said she was really mad at them for what they put in the tribe chat and she might tie the vote to give me a chance. I’m not getting my hopes up but it’s my absolute last chance

Well anabel is voting for me too. Said the three person alliance was BS. Idk what to believe. I’m just embarrassed and upset. I’ve tried every possible thing I could do. Thanks to the hosts for everything. You can only wake from a dream once. Guess it’s time to rise. 

I was so nervous for every single tribal that I’d be voted out. I was so scared and so anxious I couldn’t even go to tribal it was all too overwhelming. And now I’m leaving I just feel kinda dead inside

JESS

Can't wait for these confessionals to come out and for people to hate me some more! uwu. Honestly though, this game was a blast. I switched things up and played a game I have never had the balls to play before. I still obviously have a LONG WAY to go before I think I ever win one of these but.. you win some and you lose some. But also... can someone let me know how I found out I was apparently a premade with Trent during the question period? BECAUSE UMM.. That was news to me. Woo! congrats Anabel.

ANABEL

well.... its over. im really happy that i got to play in this season, i know that some of my gameplay was not well-recieved but every single one of these people has really made my life better. this has been a really great experience and even if i dont win im satisfied with how i played and everything that i did and i hope that even if my game isnt respected, i certainly hope i am. love this cast, these hosts, just sm love in general.

Episode 12 - “If she wants a war... I can give her one” - Jess

After crackhead hours, the Berbagi Bir tribe calmed down for a relatively calm round before the finale. with Stoner as the obvious outsider.

Once Trent won immunity and Stoner was left vulnerable, it was relatively clear his time was up, and though he attempted a last ditch plan with a fake idol/advantage, he was sent to jury to join all his allies, and the pagonging of NuObor was complete.

MATT

https://youtu.be/lrOPJ7uLG0M

OLIVIA

So I came out looking alright. I voted for Matt so trent and Anabel can’t be mad at me. I survived. The torchsnuffers alliances is all gone except for me, as is anyone who knew about it. I hope Matt didn’t tell stoner. My goal that I’ve been doing it to just connect with people personally and let michael and Jess really do the strategic legwork and while we’re all calling the shots, they come out looking dirtier. It has to be us three at the end and hopefully with this jury I’ve made better impressions. Also apparently Trent wants me out fifth so that’s great. I have to win this next challenge. I have to.

TRENT

WHAT THE FUCK WAS THAT. I have literally no idea what just happened that round. All day the 5 of us were set on Matt. Ok easy no problem super simple vote. and of course 630 comes around and the scrambling happens. I get a messages from matt and it says, they are targeting you so we need to split it 3-2-2 and and vote out jess with anabel. So of course I agree. literally 15 minutes later, stoner messages me and says they are targeting you, we need to split it 3-2-2 and vote out olivia with anabel. So now i'm freaking out that my group of 5 is turning on me. So i have to worry about if I play my idol. Anabel wants to work with stoner and i say absolutely not. So shes un happy but sticks with voting matt. And then tribal was a shit show. everybody is throwing everybody under the bus. Then the votes happen and everyone is scrambling. I stand strong with anabel and olivia and vote matt. Then matt plays his extra vote which I totally called earlier in my confessional. Then the votes are revealed and they are just all over the place. Then i get a special shoutout from Matt??? about how he doesn't like me? I don't really understand why. Now anabel is mad because Michael and Jess voted her as a back up in case of an idol.  Luckily i didn't play mine but i have to damage control my relationship with anabel. Hopefully this confirmed my loyalty to my group and they all want to take me to the end. Which they totally should because I for sure have 0/6 jury votes right now.

JESS

Last night was the MOST INSANE TRIBAL I've EVER been apart of ever. Matt trying to get me out? My wig. Why weren't these straight men smart enough to realize 3 is what it took and if they voted together they could have at least tied the vote? Anabel would have voted with them in a re-vote so my wig. MY FUCKING WIG. Now Anabel is pissed at me because we kind of proved Stoner's point that she is expendable. She is going around telling people she wants me out. If she wants a war... I can give her one. She won't win it though. Ask Matt.

OLIVIA

Why did we get rid of Leigh instead of stoner I’m so fucking stupid. I hate this round I hate everything

JESS

Well this is depressing. I'm not crying YOU ARE. Honestly, I don't know how I'm going to get past this vote. How last tribal played out kind of threw me into the spotlight I wasn't ready for. I'm not gonna give up. I'm gonna fight my ass off but I just feel incredibly defeated. Not taking out Stoner a couple of votes ago might just be the reason why I'm going. What is my game plan right now? I'm going to try and make everyone believe I am a bigger asset to them going forward than Olivia and Michael are. I'm going to play up the fact that the jury probably hates me and I'm the perfect person to sit next to final 3 with. If I have to (and I get desperate) I might have to fake an advantage or something along those lines. Right now I just need to rely on my relationships and hope everyone thinks I'm with them more than the others. People are self-serving and I'm going to play to that fact. They want to know what you can DO for them and NO ONE ELSE. I'm going to try and tell them what they want to hear to live another fucking day.

OLIVIA

Really dislike this round

Whenever I think about the game right now and the stage we’re at with the whole stoner predicament I get so gloomy lmao. If only stoner weren’t here like it would be a much more positive f6 experience I think idk. I hope to god he is bluffing. I want NuCahaya at the final 5. Sweet Jesus. At least I’ll be in school all tomorrow so I don’t have to spend all day on my phone spiraling and I can actually be distracted (hopefully). I hate the games he’s playing with us and I want him gone. 

JESS

Olivia is driving me insane. If somehow Stoner does have an idol he would literally have the sole vote on who goes at this point. She doesn't want to be the one who throws a vote on Anabel because she "promised" her.. Ummm me and Michael already fucked ourselves over with Anabel last round you can't take one for the team right now? That's sketchy as fuck. I'm tired of it. Hopefully Stoner throws his vote at her and honestly.. if he does have an idol and it is a re-vote between Anabel and her. I'm throwing my vote her way. oops?

Episode 11 - “straight men ruining my life what’s new”

okay so whewie f7 was a crackhead time and my memory isn’t 100% solid, but I will attempt to do it justice.... somehow?

okay so... I honestly don’t remember who the original vote was? Well no, it was originally Stoner but then Stoner did that TM and won immunity! So that forced the loose collective alliance of six that had been working together since voting Lorelei out, to turn inwards.

Initially, Olivia (wanting to protect Matt) was keen to get out Trent, having heard from someone (Jess?) that he had been targetting her prior. However, his connections with Anabel & Jess, and his emergence as someone with a lot of jury blood on his hands, kept the idea from gaining traction.

Instead, Matt decided F7 was the time for a move that would set himself up comfortably for the endgame, so attempted to gather Stoner, Anabel & Trent, so that (armed with an extra vote), he could make a move against who he saw as the power trio (Jess, Michael & Olivia).

However, Trent was opposed to making a move versus the aforementioned three, so leaked Matt’s plan back to them, somewhat forcing Anabel’s hand (given that she wanted to remain loyal to Trent), and decimating Matt’s numbers.

At tribal, after some squabbling and fighting, Matt & Stoner voted separately (Stoner wanted to keep his vote... a secret...? and i forget why KLJSD), and Matt was sent out 3-2-2-1). Matt was the returnee with the most improved placement, was a phenomenal runner up POTS and a tragic loss.

JESS

Michael made a joke last night about Olivia and I being in final 2. That just doesn't mix well with his answer from Tribal..... I know going forward if I want a chance at winning this game he can't be here... I just don't know if Trent, Stoner, Olivia, Matt, and Anabel have my back like he does? I really want to make a move against someone big this round. I think the game plan would be an idol fake out and then take a stab at one of them in the last couple minutes leading up to tribal.. BUT OF COURSE...CRACKHEADABEL wants to make a move which means... it is gonna be messy. I need to monitor this situation like a Hurricane because it could destroy my game and my ass is getting 7th.

OLIVIA

SORRY ALI. So Ali posted a congrats to stoner to breaking the foxx curse which was that every person who voted foxx out had left since then and then I jokingly said in my host chat “I’m Ali casually exposing the alliance in the main chat“ and then he said “consider it gone” and now I FEEL REAL BAD LIKE I DIDNT WANT U TO DELETE IT IM SORRY

But it did make me consider the impact that Foxx’s vote had on this game. It solidified the Good Veterans (alliance name) sticking together because we were all so shook at that, it solidified the NuCahaya alliance, and it solidified my distrust in owen and stoner and put a major boundary between us. Like foxx’s vote really changed the entire game. You can see that based on everyone saying foxx should still be here in touchy subjects lol. But now stoner has won immunity which SUCKS because he was supposed to go next :/ Michael has said some shady ass stuff too so I don’t entirely trust him anymore which sucks. Pretty sure matt has an idol? And stoner too. It kinda has to be trent this time because stoner ain’t around but I gotta convince trent it’s Matt. All girls F3 would be real cute just sayin 👀

I feel like I’m a very annoying player (host note: you are not)

If I survive this round I absolutely need immunity next time. I was so close this time 😭

JESS

So the whole #SaveTrent mission is bombing. I'm trying to flip Olivia by using her paranoia about Michael making a move on us to make a move on him. She refuses to budge. What she doesn't realize is we LITERALLY WON'T BEAT HIM. We won't. I can't fucking even right now. He's way better at talking, he has solid jury relationships, and he initiated more moves. LET'S GET HIM OUT OF HERE! So in conclusion, I might have fucked myself over here and told her too much. Oh also Stoner told me about some weird advantage. I'm trying to find it. I can't.

My game in a nutshell: 

OLIVIA

I’m so anxious. I don’t wanna betray Trent but I’ve gotta

JESS

So Stoner gave me some clue (That probably doesn't have ALL the info in it)... So just in case Olivia spills the beans to Michael about what I said... I also gave both of them SEPARATELY the clue. That way they both might think I'm still with them 10000% and I'm trying to offer them a chance at bettering their game. Also, this makes Stoner look sketchier and scarier than me next round (Given I survive this round)

MATT

Matt what the FUCK is UP buddy oh my GOD. Byeeeee hopefully

Episode 10 - "I get best liar, villain, and most likely to backstab. which is all true so I'm not surprised." - Trent

After the tribe decided that Berbagi Bir wasn’t big enough for two Chriss (spelling that was a nightmare), the tribe was thrown into a Touchy Subjects challenge, which Jess stormed to victory in.

In the lead up to tribal, Stoner & Leigh were both pessimistic about their chances - with both feeling their fate was out of their hands, and in the hands of the consistent majority. 

While Stoner was thrown out as a target, for being the greater endgame threat and more invested in the game, Leigh being so mentally checked out of the game meant players decided it was unfair to let her continue in the game. While Trent raised that Stoner could win immunity the next round, it was a concern that was overlooked, perhaps Trent is entitled to an ‘I told you so’ at this stage?

At tribal, Leigh was unanimously sent out of the door, marking both the first unanimous vote of the merge, and the first time Stoner had voted in the majority since making it there.

OLIVIA

I’m still standing! But now the chrises definitely both hate me probably

TRENT

Been a bit since I wrote anything. Last  round was pure paranoia. Everybody was freaking out that it was probably them (myself included) and of course the extra paranoia of if i should play my idol. Of course things went exactly as planned so there was nothing to really worry about.  Touchy subjects came up and I get best liar, villain, and most likely to backstab. which is all true so I'm not surprised. Going to make sure people realize all this so they want to take me to the end, then hopefully I can work on my speech and flip some people on jury but who knows.    I'm trying to make sure everyone is on board with the 5 flying monkeys making it to the final 5 and being known as a great alliance. Going into the merge 5-6 minority but then pagonging the other side seems incredible in my opinion and hopefully people want to do that. Sounds like it but you never know. People seem to want to do Leigh tonight because shes the easy vote but I think thats a mistake. I think its a mistake leaving Stoner in because hes way more likely to win immunity and break us up. Hopefully people will realize that. Not going to push too hard though.

OLIVIA

So stoner and Leigh both wanna leave and Leigh is all pissy me for trying to help her out and make sure she actually wants to and she’s not just quitting because she’s in a bad spot in the game? Like? She asked why it was different between her and stoner and I said well stoner’s played a million of these games like he wouldn’t quit just to quit if something’s going on like idk I trust him to know what’s right for him. And Leigh just refuses to understand what could possibly be annoying about someone quitting out of cowardice. If it’s really like something bad going on then more power to her to leave idc, but then why participate in the challenge? Why continue to act like you’re playing? If you really wanna leave just fucking leave don’t hang around throwing a pity party for yourself and coming at me all mad for showing concern for you. 🤬🤬🤬. It’s just bringing the game down, having her around and having stoner just go absentee like the 5 vets were supposed to call last night but I fell asleep and it didn’t work out which really bums me out like it couldn’t stopped stoner from quitting. I just hope he’s doing ok I’m worried about him. So we’ll do stoner this time, suffer with Leigh around next round, and then Michael Jess and I will have to decide what to do. Matt or anabel & trent? Trent will probably go but then idk

Stoner wants to stay now which like thank god because I was all emo about him being emo. Trent clearly wants him gone bc he doesn’t want 5 vets but we’ll do stoner next time I just didn’t want stoner gone for reasons like that

JESS

I want Leigh gone. I don't understand why she hates me. I don't get what I've ever did to her? Maybe she just is mennist?

So I think it is time for a big move. How do I make this happen? NO GOD DAMN IDEA.

Episode 9:  "So new game plan, 'cause people get hit in the heart and they, like, like you" - Chris S.

After Owen was slain, the minority of Chris O, Chris S & Leigh were left scrambling, having been consistently blindsided since merge begun. Chris S’ game was rocked most fundamentally, as his closest ally had both been voted out, and had voted Chris S as it happened.

In the Scattegories challenge, after Jess & Olivia inexplicably put... the same specific My Little Pony book, Anabel stormed to victory with a phenomenal score of 24/25! Anabel winning something? This sounds.... so familiar...

In the scramble for tribal, the vote seemed between Leigh, Chris O & Chris S. Leigh initially threw out Jess’ name, wanting her out for pretending to be out of the loop, but it failed to gain real traction. Between Leigh, Chris & Chris, Leigh was largely checked out, and encouraged the other two to vote her.

Between the ones consistently voting correctly, Leigh was seen as both too easy, and too obvious of a vote. The target instead landed on Chris O, for being seen as the biggest threat (and a newbie). 

In the run up to tribal, Trent lied again to the minority (this also... sounds so familiar), Jess had a crackhead meltdown (get used to this if you aren’t already) and Chris O was sent out. Chris S closed the tribal saying “they make me look like a dumbass at every tribal”.

OLIVIA

TOLD YA ID AVENGE THE FURRY MUAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAAHAHAH

LEIGH

The hoes is fake

MICHAEL

https://youtu.be/za_uPcsjzyM

TRENT

Well I can't believe that vote worked. We successfully blind sided owen, while also completely splitting up any alliance the other side had since leigh voted stoner.  This is incredible. But now I fear I am the #1 target. Chris and Leigh probably hate me. I lied to Stoners face about anabel. No idea where matt's head is at. So i have to put my trust fully in my alliance. They could easily vote me out right now and replace me with matt. I hope they don't realize that. I think I can survive one more round without having to worry about them betraying me. But luckily, i gotta little thing called a hidden immunity idol that i found this morning. I'm hoping that someone (jess, anabel, etc) lets me know if they decide to flip on me. No one knows i have this so hopefully the wont fear telling me the truth. Just going to have to see how this plays out. I'd love to win immunity this time to be fully sure.

OLIVIA

What’s up with that new fancy font? Anyways I love Michael so much just gotta say it

JESS

Buckle up, I got some thoughts. So I attempted to record a VIDEO confessional but I looked like shit. I already have about 20 reasons to be dragged for this season so I decided to spare my self-esteem. My game right now is to try and not stand out too much and essentially fade into the background. Big names, big threats, and big moves have sent people to jury and I'm not trying to kick it with Owen in Ponderosa... I think I'm in a pretty decent position right now. I personally don't think anyone may want to immediately murder me right now. Maybe in a round or two but this next round should be smooth? HOWEVER, I'm ONCE AGAIN GOING TO BE POSSIBLY PUT INTO A STICKY SITUATION because.... TRENT IS A FUCKING CRACKHEAD. This round... I just need to figure out a way to save Trent. Trent is literally my shield right now and so is Michael. PS: I honestly don't think it's WRONG for people to have shields in games especially if the shields have similar goals than you in a game. ESPECIALLY in a game like this where people who have made (or attempted) big moves have went home, if you were seen as a big threat. BYE. . I mean.... Foxx apparently tried to make a big move and he went..... Owen tried to make a big move... he went. I see a trend sisters and I'm not about to fall victim to it. Why rock the boat when everything is going your way? Why stick out in a crowd when you have the same view of the stage? ANYWAYS... Trent has shot himself in the foot by thinking he is the Beyoncé but really he is the Michelle.  I need someone like that to push in front of the bus right now. He is rubbing people the wrong way which mean he is a target and people want to murder him and he wants to murder other people.... NONE OF THIS INVOLVES ME DYING so I'm Gucci with it. BUT... I can't push for him to stay that much anymore. I've pushed enough for him to stay the last couple of rounds. I need to start playing for JESS TO WIN AND NOT FOR TRENT TO WIN BUT... Both Olivia and Trent are secretly plotting against each other which is NO GOOD FOR ME. Both of them trust me and wouldn't go after me which is SOMETHING I NEED IN THIS GAME. If Olivia could murder Trent right now she would. She probably would pay extra delivery fees for his head to be delivered to her door ASAP. I just need this five to stick together AT LEAST two more rounds. This will give me some wiggle room to figure out what the next step will be. In a perfect world at that point I could pick which two I want to work with out of the 6 and we rally the two outcasts left in this game and we pick off a big player like Michael. Michael is arguably the best player in this game. He's killing it. However, I want Anabel gone. I don't think she wants me around, she's smart, and she has the underdog edit. She's gonna murder it at the end and we don't want that. So I guess I'm fucked if I don't somehow get Olivia and Trent to like each other or else whatever plans I foresee for final 7 will work. I need to make a big move soon for that end up resumé though. I'm just struggling to see how a big move would benefit me in this game right now given the position I'm in. I have 6 other people who can claim the other moves I've been a part of so that gives us all an even playing field. The even playing field is why I threw Immunity today. I didn't want to put such a target on my back early on especially when I'm confident in my numbers currently.  Winning two out of three immunities ouch.

So I fucking jinxed myself with that last confessional.... FUCKED. My name is going around thanks to Leigh. Apparently she just doesn't "connect" with myself or Olivia and I don't know what I ever did to her? Now I'm just spiralling out of control but I have to keep calm. If I show I'm freaking out too much I might make people think I'm a liability and they'll attack me even more. DEEP BREATHS. If this is my last confessional.. this was fun?

OLIVIA

Something’s not right. I do think I’m going home tonight idk people are just acting really fucking weird and I can’t believe anything. Just kinda bummed out

Ugh if the vote goes according to play Chris will go and Leigh will stay. He’s so much cooler to talk to and actually wants to be here, feel bad lying but that’s survivor. Hope I stay 😭

Episode 8: “the proof is in the parchments” - Olivia

After Lorelei was voted out, there was an immediate witch hunt- who voted Lorelei and who voted Matt? Owen/Stoner and Anabel/Trent both accused each other, but aided by Olivia’s parchment comparison theory, Stoner & Owen were exposed.

In a shooty shooty gun challenge, Olivia won having not received a single shot all challenge, while Owen/Anabel publicly had a disagreement that they worked out quite nicely in the tribe chat during the challenge.

In the build up to tribal, Owen quickly emerged as a potential vote for being as clearly big brained as he is, with Stoner thrown out as the misdirect vote, which Owen got on board with, in an attempt to save himself.

At tribal, Owen tragically decided to hold onto his idol and was sent out holding onto it, leaving Chris,Chris & Leigh squarely in the minority, and a king joining the two legendary previous jurors.

OLIVIA

I’m assuming anabel played her idol because the newbies had a little chit chat and concluded that because of jess’s rumor all the vets would be voting against her so she played it and they dumped their votes on Matt, completely going against NuCahaya. I assume they thought we were lying when we said we’re voting Lorelei LMAO but jokes on them. We WERE lying but not about that hehe. So now they’re gonna feel bad because we were honest. Which is funny because like what a way to psyche someone out- tell them the real vote lmao. So all I know is that a newbie ain’t winning this challenge

OWEN

THAT WAS SO BAD THAT WAS SOOOOO BAD OMFG KJASDFHKSJD FUCK TRENT AND ANABEL FROM THE BOTTOM OF MY HEART ESPECIALLY FUCKING TRENT WHY WOULD HE DO THAT TO ME???? LITERALLY WHY??? I WANT HIS ASS OUT OF THIS GAME RN THERE'S NO WAY HE GETS ALL THE FUCKING POWER AND THE SWING VOTE LITERALLY FUCK MEEEEE!!!! straight men deserve to burn in this fucking game and i'm gonna make it happen i got my idol and my thots to back me up so FUCK ALL THIIIIS literally nobody is saying anything to me now it's so freaking awkward i feel like a dead body nnnn olivia and jess like are acting like that didnt just happen and I bet trent ratted me the fuck out on the off chance they think i voted with them happy halloween

ok on second though maybe trent isnt so bad because he just apologized and told me it was last minute. do i believe him??? a little bit because im a whore for a good straight man but also like...he's still sketchy lmao maybe im bein dumb

OLIVIA

Chris O, Trent, and now stoner... another one bites the dust DA DA DUN DUN DUN

OLIVIA (these are six confessionals in a row)

I WON IMMUNITYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY

I had a feeling from the jump I’d win idk like I just couldn’t picture anyone shooting me and no one did? Now if that’s good or bad for next round we’ll see 😂

So this morning I could see how it was gonna play out and knew it would come down to Jess or I and I knew it would be Matt or Leigh, Matt I knew would shoot jess and not me and so I spent this morning talking Leigh up (plus she’s cool to talk to so I was just enjoying talking to her) and whaddaya know, it came down to Leigh and she shot jess not me! Also a factor was Jess won last time so I’m sure they didn’t want her to win again but imma just pretend it was all my social skills 😂 So stoner is saying he never threw matt’s name around and Owen is mad at anabel for spreading rumors apparently. So they’re def trying to make it seem like they voted Lorelei and Trent and anabel are lying and Trent and anabel are tryna make it seem like stoner and Owen are lying. Maybe my new buddy Leigh can help me figure out what really happened

I am worried because now there’s like fighting between anabel and Owen apparently. I fear this is the round I’ll have to turn on one of my alliances. Unless we miraculously get like Chris o out I just don’t see how it can happen where I don’t turn on one of them

Leigh, absolute queen of strategy, refuses to call anyone to bond and when she comes to me asking to be saved this round and I asked her for some info, quid pro quo, she refused to give anything away! Super smart babe, super smart

Dear anabel, STOP SAYING IM POPULAR AND PEOPLE LIKE ME OR I WILL GET YOU OUT. AINT NOBODY SUPPOSED TO CATCH ONTO THAT! Thank you kindly, Olivia

SO TRENT’S THROWIN AROUND MY MOTHERFUCKIN NAME HUH? WELL FUUUUUCK YOU BUDDY

Me Owen and Matt: in a secret alliance Trent: there’s no way Matt and Owen would EVER work together Me: SWEATING

JESS

So I just took a melatonin pill so it's time for another late night rant. So to start off.. I'm really regretting the whole "I DON'T WANT IMMUNITY" thought I had earlier today. These will be my famous last words if I go tomorrow so that blows. I think for the FIRST time in this game I'm actually really nervous for a vote. This vote is GOING TO BE HUGE. I honestly think this vote is going to be the deciding factor in what direction this game is going to go....A HUGE player like Stoner or Owen will go making the path to the end a little more clearer for people OR I GO. I see no in-between here. Here is a little bit of background........ After the vote Chris O approached me begging to give him at the very best 7th. The way he broke down the alliances was extremely accurate and it really spooked me. However, I think he is smart enough to want to put a dent in it. Based on my conversations with everyone else..... I have guess I have the worst connection with him and Leigh. So by default that would leave me as a big juicy option for them to want to take out. I've tried SO HARD to try and connect with Leigh. I just feel like she's incredibly smart and knows how to redirect a conversation into a place which won't incriminate her. She constantly does this with me but I also can't blame her.. We haven't found ourselves on the same side and we haven't been able to build trust in past votes. It just blows because I honestly thought she was going to be someone I would have so much in common with so... I'm majorly disappointed. I won't burn the bridge JUST YET but god damn. I'm getting to my point.. I swear.. This leaves the whole "GET OUT OWEN PLAN". I'm all for it. I'm just scared of snitches, advantages, and idols. The snitches part is simple. If someone leaks the plan then I can see Stoner and Owen realizing the vets is over and taking a shot at a vet. Seeing as they'd want to appeal to their buddies Leigh and Chris O.... that would be me. I'm going to try and talk more with Stoner and Owen and make them feel REALLY comfortable but... rip. Then there's idols and advantages. Can't do anything about fucking that. Can I? I don't have any because I have no luck and the hosts hate me. I doubt anyone would play an idol on me so there's that............ I'm just incredibly paranoid right now. I can accept that. I should have the votes to AT LEAST tie and hopefully to sink this... BUT idols and advantages might be the end of me. I guess my goal for tomorrow is to try and reach out to as many people as possible. Make myself visible, make myself a part of a POSITIVE dialog, and make sure bitches know I'm on their sides enough to NOT want to take me out. Hopefully people realize I'M NOT A BIG MOVE. Sure I have connections but I really haven't done much in this game? There's way bigger fish to fry and I want to keep it this way. I mean sure.. I've kept Trent/Anabel safe and may have been a MAJOR reason why Lorelei went? BUT nothing WORTHY of getting a shot taken at me RIGHT NOW. 10th won't look good on me. My lucky number is 9. I just don't want to be a casualty of a war that isn't mine.

TRENT

This past round was unnecessarily messy. For about 47.99 hours everybody was completely silent about the vote. And at the literal last second, people started to scramble. Half (Chris O, Leigh, Lorelei, Owen, Stoner) wanted Matt out, then the other half (Jess, Olivia, Matt, Michael) wanted lorelei out. Which left me and anabel to have to make a choice. Our newbie alliance or our Nuchaya alliance. Now also add a little extra drama, Anabel with ahead and told Chris O that she wanted stoner out, and Chris O immediately told Owen who immediately told Stoner. I finally convinced Anabel to drop the stoner idea. We decided to vote lorelei out with our Nuchaya tribe. BUT i told Owen i was voting Matt. When the votes were read, both sides except myself were shocked. Owen and his side thought for sure that Matt was gone, and Nuchaya thought for sure it would be a wider margin because Stoner and Owen agreed to vote with the returnees. So then scrambling happened. I had to tell Owen that I was lied to and I thought he knew the vote and that I was told majority would be on Lorelei. I then told Leigh I was completely played and lied to and I felt so horrible. I THINK both people believe me because both keep talking about the future vote with me. So either they are now lying to my face because they caught on, or they truly believe me . I actually think it's the second one, because Leigh right this second is trying to convince me to vote with her, Stoner, Owen, Chris O. Now for tonight's vote. I'm about 80% sure Stoner or Owen have an idol.  and we (NuChaya) want one of them out before they slip through the cracks and make it to the end. So i came up with the plan that we use the returnees connection with matt, and my connection with leigh and leak that they want stoner out, knowing full and well leigh will tell Chris O and Chris will tell everyone else out. NuChaya then votes owen. Our plan is that they use and idol to try to save Stoner but in fact just waste it and we get owen out. I'm using Matt as a shield though and going to be telling everyone that he's the one who said Stoners name. So i need to have a conversation with him and make sure he says that.  This is an incredibly risk move because if anyone on Nuchaya leaks the real plan, then I will be going home tonight.

STONER

JESS

So my plan for this vote is a rather.... unique one? Actually it isn't. But...... I'm going to try and act paranoid enough to where people might think i'll use an idol on myself OR enough so people want to see if I'll be a crackhead and flip. This could backfire against me. People might think "Let's get rid of the paranoid bitch" but... I can't just sit here and die.

OWEN

Hehe I popped off on anabel yesterday then she called and cleared the air..,,, I didn’t rlly believe her tho shen she said she wasn’t coming for me. It’s been hella fucking quiet. I’m kind of mad this comp came at this time because I wanted a shot to win. The vets aren’t confronting me about last vote and I’ve been lying and saying I voted lorelei and that maybe stoner voted matt lol Either way nothing concrete is being said other than stoner tossing out anabel’s name. Idek what to do I feel like honestly I used all my energy last round for literally no result so maybe tonight I play my idol and move on and pick up the pieces next round I don’t want to give up but lookin around rn I can’t be making a big scene by campaisgbing

I have an idol and I ODN'T KNOW WHAT TO DO WITH IT.... I talked to Matt and Olivia for a while and it seemed a good conversation. I'm playing like I'm not sure whether or not Stoner or Anabel voted Matt, but I really don't think these people will believe that I voted Lorelei, especially after Michael and I took each other out in the challenge... But like, here's the thing. If I play the idol now and cancel votes against me at least I guarantee myself another round to make something happen + win immunity. And I think since this comp was basically whoever is in the majority wins, and the first one was fl*g m*king, the next one can be something I potentially pop tf off at... But if I do idol this round and don't need it, I don't think I'll make it much further in the game without that idol :((((( ppl are gonna be like wtf why'd u play that... so idk. It's like, am I playing for ninth or playing for first? And right now I can't tell. I put myself in a good position premerge and a bad one this round. Unless Jess/Olivia/Matt really believe me and not Anabel/Trent.... god. I don't know what I should do. Part of me says use it and give yourself a chance to keep playing. Part of me says gamble, save it, and if I survive I have a chance of surviving longer.

OLIVIA

Owen, Matt, and I had a call in our alliance chat today and it was so sad bc it was so comfortable and like fun and it’s sad knowing he’s just playing us and he voted Matt last time and he’s just playing us again this time. Hopefully Owen goes bye bye this time and Matt and I can form an even stronger bond.

OWEN

Continuing to be the messiest bitch in the game. Fucking shook rn. I voted for Stoner which will probably bite me later but right now its what I have to do to build trust with a majority again. Maybe he won’t even leave and I will. I don’t k ow. I really feel like if I play this idol at least it’s a guarantee I’m here but I don’t want to make people think I don’t trust them. I don’t want to seem like an idiot. God idk what to do I have fifteen minutes to play this idol or not :))))))$ who knows what could happen!!! I’m having like my third meltdown of the game

CHRIS O

if they let me stay they’ll regret it I’m gonna win every non-social non-creative challenge WATCH THIS SPACE

OWEN

Saving my idol. Worst that happens is I get to reunite with queen Lorelei and I get drunk either way xoxoxo. See y’all on the flip side.

Episode 7: “back on my bullshit™️” - Anabel

After the birthday murder, the cast merged into the Berbagi Bir merge tribe! In a fierce flag-making immunity challenge, Jess got the job done, and earned herself immunity for the round.

As most merge votes are... this round was mess. SO, Matt’s name was one of the earliest thrown out, as one of the quieter members of the tribe, but Matt’s strong social game earlier in the season meant he had allies (like Anabel & Olivia) who did not wanna see that happen.

Potential Vote #2 was Stoner, spearheaded by Anabel, which was leaked (Host Note: I forget who specifically leaked this... lets go with Chris O because one of the confessionals said so) somewhat shooting that plan down.

On an all-returnee call, the vote was settled on Lorelei, as the least connected and least threatening newbie... but... then people did some things. So.. Owen/Stoner decided that returnee kumbaya was no more, and plotted to secretly flip and send out Matt... But that plan relied on the nuCahaya newbie pair sticking to the plan. In fact Trent/Anabel, motivated by Trent’s closeness to Jess/nuCahaya and Anabel’s strong formed relationship with Matt, decided to in fact vote out Lorelei, turning on the newbies, and lying to Owen/Stoner that they were also flipping on NuCahaya.

At tribal, Anabel played her idol, assuming since she just turned on Chris O, he would leak that she had it, and five members of the tribe were blindsided by Lorelei’s exit, with Owen/Stoner vulnerable due to their failed flip...

OLIVIA

Well I wasted my idol and voted out my best friend

Just vote me out now

STONER

https://youtu.be/8YsRquIDBLc

LEIGH

So the vote went exaclty how Trent and Anabel thought it would lmao. I've played too many of these games with aggressive players, it makes me paranoid. Merge time now!

OWEN

I MADE MERGE AGAIN YEEHAW!!!!! The power that that has... I'm quaking honestly. I was completely surprised the other tribe voted Isaac, but in a way I'm relieved because it means I'm not the only one who turned on old Cahaya. I think those tribal lines are going to fade FAST going into this merge... The only worry I have is if they did Isaac because they thought he flipped on Foxx and they're on a witch hunt, but honestly, it's probably just that he was inactive?? Idk. Anabel must've done something to get back into their good graces? We'll see. I'M SO HAPPY THOUGH!! I get to reunite with Olivia and Jess which I LOVE. I just need to explain myself to them about Foxx and they can explain about Isaac and I'm praying it's okay. I really want to stay loyal to Olivia and Matt as long as I can... I also though want to make a group of me/Chris O/Leigh/Lorelei maybe because I truly like all of them and I feel like I have a great 1 on 1 bond with all three. I know that Chris/Leigh at least talk, but I don't have a read on how close Lorelei is with them? We'll see. And it would be nice to pull Jess in to the Matt/Olivia stuff. My problem now is that I'm spreading myself WAY too thin. I have some sort of trust built or at least like cordial conversation built with everyone left except for Michael. It's going to get real fucking messy for me from here on out and it's going to bite me in the ass sooner rather than later because there's a huge chance that, unless something shuffles around, I get caught between two sides and I can't let that expose me so soon. But for now I'm just gonna be social and relax and enjoy talking to these people, because I do really like them a lot.

LORELEI

I made it to merge 😭😭😭 I'm so happy and so proud of myself. I'm so thankful for my alliance with Trent, Chris o, leigh, Anabel and myself. I couldn't have made it here without them. And Owen too, I wouldn't have made it this far if he, Leigh and Chris hadn't managed to flip the vote and vote Foxx (legend) out. I hope I can make it even further!

OLIVIA

Me: votes out Isaac Me: I wanna talk to ISAAC HE GETS ME Me: it was for the best Me: BRING ME FRIEND

Mmmmmmok so I voted out Isaac, very heartbreaking. I spent all day not doing my homework also. 

But now we’ve merged. NuCahaya seems strong. Anabel is excited to work with us and we had a cute ten min call before the tribal and Trent sent a very nice message after, I appreciated that he acknowledged that was hard for me to do. 

I wasted my idol, but I think I managed to convince everyone it was a one round only idol lmao. If no one was convinced then oh well. It was so weird like an anxiety monster just took over my body and was like “everyone hates you and if you don’t play your idol you’re OUT” So that’s cute

But anyways. Owen, Matt and I had a very joyous and cute reunion which is interesting since I sorta set owen up as this big ol mastermind with NuCahaya 👀 I painted him as a target for the Foxx vote but he said it was because foxx was throwing around stoner’s name. Stoner was barely around and just went for it apparently. So those three definitely still wanna do like an all veterans thing? (Owen, stoner, Matt). Aaaaand like Jess, Michael, Trent, and Anabel all think we’re a fivesome against Owen and his minions which isn’t exactly the case but may be. Sooooooooooo. Yeah. The fivesome is outnumbered, the veterans aren’t. However Michael and Jess are 100% pro NuCahaya, which I am too. But like I love my dudes too. This vote is gonna change everything because it’s all peaches and cream rn lol. And I’m sorta smack in the middle it feels like with my Owen and Matt alliance which no one knows about and the NuCahaya which I don’t think the veterans would suspect. But I think voting out Isaac safely secured Anabel and Trent with us. I just can’t voice my opinion too much on this vote and I’ve gotta just calm down and fade into the background. Hopefully for now I can keep the delicate balance and we can get Leigh out who isn’t really playing. Jess I told about my idol and she wasn’t too mad at me stupidly playing it I hope lmao. We’re trying to figure out this new idol system together. 

I’m sorry Isaac, ily. I hope I can make cutting out my heart in this game worth it.

TRENT

So last night's vote was wild. The awesome foursome wanted to vote out isaac because Anabel is in it. But we needed to do it in a way that Olivia is on board, so we can use her as a number in the future. So we spent hours discussing the pros and cons, which was pointless because jess and michael were going to vote it anyway. Finally at like 8:45 Olivia agrees to vote Isaac. THEN i get a message from leigh and chris who are the infiltrators. They are freaking out because jess and michael won't confirm to vote isaac. They want to flip the vote on Olivia. Which makes no sense but they wanted to do a 3-3-1 tie and then get her out in the tie. Again makes no sense. I finally calm them down and tell them just to trust me and anabel will be safe. And of course at tribal, olivia plays her idol and i freak out thinking we got play, but thank goodness we didnt. Thank goodness we didn't listen to chris or leigh as well because that would have been super awkward to explain.    Now we are at merge, and the Charlie alliance is back in business. Somehow we all survived. Even though we were split down the middle with anabel and I being in the minority of the other tribe. Both of our tribes got returnees out. No matter which way you look at it, im at a 6-5 disadvantage. 6 returnees 5 newbies, 6 new obor 5 new cahaya. I just need to survive this next vote and the I think i'll be golden for a little while. I'm hearing some whispering of targeting matt next, and that would be perfect because it gets me to 5-5.

OWEN

Holy shit I just found an idol thank GOD!!!! I’m gonna fuck some shit up with this !!! YEEEEEESSSSS. I’ve officially found one three seasons in a row hehe :’) the grind nvr stops am I right Idk who to tell tho I feel like I need to say something to someone but... Idk. Might be nice to keep to myself

OLIVIA

Real depressed I didn’t win the challenge, spent so long hand drawing it and put a lot of love into it bc I truly love all my tribemates but I know Jess did the same and hers looks cool too. Cannnnot believe I got second again I’ve literally gotten second like every single flag challenge I’ve done 🙄

I had fun drawing today at least, that was a nice change of pace and I’m personally happy with how it turned out so that’s good haha and I realized I’m not half bad I should draw more. I’m always so negative about what I do and think everything looks terrible so I never end up doing anything 

I have no idea about this next vote, glad my bff won the challenge. I gotta lay low and make sure it ain’t me. 4 gays + finance manager Trent want Owen or one of his “squad” out. I’m going on call in my owen and Matt alliance tomorrow. Those two and stoner I’m sure wanna realign the veterans and get out a newbie. Maybe I can keep up the façade and direct both into getting out either Lorelei, Leigh, or Chris o (even tho, since getting to know them they’re all so sweet and cool but SOMEONE has to go) 

So hopefully that happens. I’ll see what Owen and Matt say tomorrow. As for Chris stoner, who knows 🤷‍♀️

OWEN

i was telling my roommates that I was stressed about this game bc i feel close to too many people and i said im just gonna randomize and the top five ppl on the list ill screw over..... guess whose name was on top? MATT. :o which is a little fitting bc i think it might come down to matt vs leigh tonight. idk it's been SO FUCKING quiet today it's really scaring me. i talked to jess and brought up that i thought matt or leigh will be the targets. she's so freaking sketchy to talk to bc she doesnt want to commit to ANYTHING. like...girl, u got the immunity??? be brave??? speak ur mind???????????????????? but she seemed to be tossing around the idea of doing matt... here's my deal. i love olivia and i even like matt a lot, and I like the torchsnuffers. but rn it seems weaker to move forward with them??? bc i love my bonds with chris o and lorelei.... and stoner of course. basically im in a middle of two sides and the most unanimous I can get rn, the fucking better!1!11 but I dont want to hurt olivia rn... :( GOD!!!!!!!!!!!! this is just all a tangled mess and I dont want to get caught in it too deep but i already AM!!!! if we were zoobeenee this never wouldve happened.... will it be leigh? will it be matt? will it be me?????? not sure. the only thing i know is after tribal tonight im gettin fuckin drunk!

JESS

I GOT IMMUNITY WOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!! THANK YOU JUDGES <3

MATT

bITCHES Be CONSPIRING AGAINSt ME!!

ANABEL

https://youtu.be/nYZxeLs1hY0

well. maybe the bitches. don’t. wanna. vote. stoner.

OWEN

Duck I am so stressed now The six returnees all called and decided on Lorelei. I’m ducking s reading I wish they decided anabel or something Idk . God dang it..... I don’t want to lose lorelei when she’s been so nice to me and I already saved her on the foxx vote. So I could do two things.... I could vote for Matt with stoner and chris/Leigh/Lorelei and hope that Trent or anabel do too. Then Lorelei is safe but I burn a bridge with olivia and jess which would suck and then I’m giving anabel and Trent a lot of power. I could give Lorelei my idol and tell her to play it on herself and then vote for her to try to save face with the vets but then like what if she tells them I gave it to her or they think I told her to use it.... and also matt would still be gone :( so Idk ughhh and then if that’s the case how to I explain to chris and Leigh why I voted her ???? I want stoner and I to maybe split our vote and then see what Trent an anabel do... idk I can’t decide but omg Trent is calling me. I could also just vote Lorelei and ride it iur

OLIVIA

Truly sorry for my lack of confessionals! Busy day. So I’m pretty confident it’s lorelei but for all we know it could be me! I’m finding myself not as stressed out because I don’t think I’ll EVER be as stressed out as I was with the Isaac vote so even if it’s me, not saying I’ll not be sad, but I’m more at peace. I’ve been on so many calls today jfc. Jess really finessed the hell outta this one with her insanely cool trick to get anabel and Trent to vote Lorelei that was awesome. If I have time later tonight I’ll explain more of what went down today later but until then? Sayonara!

The Isaac vote like changed me as a player it’s wild. I’ve never voted out my closest friend in a game and now I have and like lived through it like I’m?? Ok? Like it was so horrible but it was like digging a bullet out of my heart. It sounds so weird but like it opened up my ability to play without being like insane stressball and hopefully I can carry this through the game. It probably doesn’t make sense but yeah 😂

JESS

I'm tired of sitting around letting games slip through my fingers. This round I have immunity so why not crack a bit? I want that OTT baby! This round is going to be complicated. I don't want Matt to go whatsoever. What a plot twist from the begging of the season? I see no benefit of taking out someone who I believe will be in my corner in this game for a bit? I've compromised enough the last round with taking out Isaac for Trent/Anabel... THIS ROUND IS FOR ME! So I decided to be a rat ass bitch and tell Matt his name was going around. Will this fuck me over next round? Absolutely. Do I care? A lot. Will I regret taking out someone who I see has no benefit to me? NOPE. The way Lorelei and Chris O went about this round rubbed me the wrong way. Chris let me know Matt's name was going around but refused to give me ANY of the details. That just proves to me he does not trust me one bit. Lorelei straight up lied to me so homegirl NEEDS TO GO. Anabel had some genius plan on getting Stoner out (YASSSSSSS). But she didn't listen to me... and told Chris O aka: basically telling Stoner. It obviously got back to Stoner which caused chaos. However, it proved to me that sooo many people are close and exposed relationships. I was able to convince Anabel/Trent to do Lorelei which I hope will work? I don't know. All I know if Lorelei dies in this game I'll be happy. There's only room for one girl from Montréal here :$

OWEN

I have to just make a decision and move forward. After talking to Trent, I think I've decided to do Matt tonight. I feel confident that Trent could be an ally for me. Stoner, Chris O, and Lorelei are all really solid alliances to me right now as well, more than I feel with Michael. I know I'm burning Jess and Olivia and I don't really know what to say to them after. I'm feeling guilty as fuck right now, I wish I didnt put myself in this position. But it's a game, and for me right now, Lorelei is someone I want to go really far with. If they had picked Anabel maybe it would be a different story... Idk. This could still blow up in my face and send me out and honestly??? I'm so exhausted from the last 10 hours i prob wouldnt mind mmmmm ive finally fucking snappt and it's time to follow thru the crazy xo

OLIVIA

Listen, could I technically go to tribal? Yeah but after the damage my anxiety did to me at the last one imma just sit back and let the texts roll in while I do tranquility dot to do puzzles

Episode 6: “I'm an asshole. I've accepted it.” - Jess

After the divisive double tribal, the two tribes went into their final premerge challenge.... and everyone had so much fun! Within the ‘Whodunnesia’ story, it was revealed that the final twelve had all made jury and would all play a role in determining the winner.

After both tribes struggled, nuObor ultimately pulled out a victory, securing Leigh/Lorelei/Chris O/Chris S/Matt/Owen all made the merge. In a first for the season, two newbies were sent over as an infiltrator pair, with Leigh/Chris O attending the Cahaya tribal.

On Cahaya, the returnees all had the intention to set themselves up with connections beyond OG Cahaya for the merge. Given that Trent has pretty effectively ingratiated himself with the returnees, his name remained largely out of contention - but Anabel, Michael, Isaac & briefly Olivia were all thrown out during the day.

In the lead-up towards tribal, it was seemingly becoming clear that the returnees were to turn inwards - Olivia threw out Michael, Jess considered blindsiding Olivia having heard of her idol, and Isaac’s name consistently seemed... out there.

As tribal drew near, Isaac became the seeming consensus vote, and while Olivia panicked and played her idol at tribal, Isaac was sent out unanimously, in an UGLY birthday robbery, becoming the final premerger and the first member of the jury.

LORELEI

Oh emmm jaayyyy!!! Wheww!!! I was lit rally shaking during the vote. TREMBLING. I love Foxx so much, he's so funny and smart, personally, he wasn't my first option to vote out but it was either him or me. Im so glad they kept me, I really hope that either Chris o or Leigh make it to the end, they worked hard to keep me. Im so grateful to them.

OLIVIA

FOXX?! MY BABY FOXX?! WHAT THE FUCK OWEN? I stopped trusting stoner but Owen?!

TRENT

Well what a wild round indeed. I went in thinking I could flip Jess into voting a returnee out. I learned last night she was not leaning that way. So I had to pivot. I didn’t want to take out a newbie but I also knew I couldn’t fight too much and risk the target on my back. But I also knew I had to keep anabel safe. So I needed to smoothly convince them to go after Dylan and not anabel. So I started with Olivia and she luckily talked to the rest. I’m honestly feeling in an ok spot. I know Olivia likes me. Jess and I are super close. Same with anabel. Michael and I are having great conversations and Isaac is also on the tribe. I learned from Jess that Michael wants to create an alliance soon but he hasn’t told me himself so I gotta get it out of him. Hopefully we don’t have to go to tribal any time soon but if so I think I’ll be in an ok spot. 

ANABEL

anabel?? fucking up a challenge?? what else is new!!

OLIVIA

https://youtu.be/ID5ie6fgj0A Me @ everyone/thing in this game except Isaac, Jess, Michael, and Matt We really should make a 5some at merge

Can’t blame Ali because I 100% have and will go overboard on fun challenges like that. 

I’m praying the other tribe loses because I really can’t afford to go to tribal right now. Trent messaged me and said that none of the three of us who competed (me, him, anabel) should go home because we all did our best which is honestly true! But it’s unfortunate because what’s the alternative? ANOTHER veteran? With Matt in a precarious position, Owen as an unknown, stoner having lost my trust, I’m not sure I can take out a veteran right now as I’m down on allies with foxx gone. Who would I take out anyways? Jess or Isaac? Hell no they’re my number ones! Michael? Maybe but honestly I think we have a good repertoire and I wouldn’t wanna lose that. Also the hosts sorta leaked the fact that jury has begun by making a story all about “the prejurors”. 

Jess said it’s gonna become nuobor vs nucahaya and goddamn it I didn’t want it to be true but it probably is. I pray to god Matt doesn’t turn to the dark side (against me) because I love him tbh like we get along well. I thought the same was true with Owen and the Osquared alliance but now I’m unsure. Watching Obor tribal tonight it was clearly owen’s plan imo. He seemed so nervous on camera and stoner was poker face plus he was absent most of the time like he said and Owen was more active. Lorelei, Chris o, and Leigh never talked to me so I didn’t really talk to them so they’re on my hit list now. And with the veterans down a number, anabel and Trent could easily go over with those three and Owen and stoner and pick us off which is terrifying. Luckily, I think I’ve formed a decent alliance with Trent and after last tribal I trust him. Except now, ending this like it began, he wants to keep anabel in the game of course which I just can’t do  if we lose so please for the love of god let us win and let a fucking obor newbie go home or let stoner leave and keep Matt safe. 

5/19. Smh.

JESS

So I'm writting this at 3am so please bare with me... Michael approached me today about forming a 6 person alliance consisting of myself, Trent, Anabel, Leigh and possibly Matt oh and obviously Michael. We both kind of knew this whole newbies .vs. Vets thing wasn't going to last and we wanted to prepare for battle.. BUT APPARENTLY WE AREN'T THE ONLY ONES THINKING ABOUT THAT.. Fucking Owen and Stoner. I had a feeling Owen was up to something when he basically dropped the big fat hint that Foxx was getting parglaoid and how the newbies probably want to keep around one of their own. I get it. They want to cover their tracks and lock down some newbies and I think they locked down the two smartest so good on them. I'm kind of glad they did this. It forms cracks in the vets which gives me cracks in relationships to work with. It also means the newbies won't be so sketched out by me and my allegiances to the vet if they think the vets are a mess. The real game just begun. Ps: I'm really sad Foxx is gone.

MATT

Hello Hello!  So at some point between last night when immunity was awarded, and me leaving work at like 330....the target shifted from Anabel to Dylan real quick.  Like i didn't really have a problem with it, but like...why?  They were so hellbent on taking out Anabel because they thought she was a threat and bigger problem than Dylan.  We called for a little bit, and of course Jess wants to know what I think of Anabel's gameplay style.  AKA she wants me to say Anabel is a threat and a great player who we should eliminate...however I'm not going to do that.  Because her past gameplay literally does not matter in this game. Anyway, Dylan became the target because he was least active, probably the weakest on the tribe, etc.  Which is fine I guess.  I'm not going to make too much of a fuss bc it's not worth my time nor effort

Alright so after tribal council(s), Dylan and FOXX were voted out.......FOXX!!!!! Like what the fuuuuucccckkkkk.  When Ali told us that Dylan and Foxx were the ones voted out, i was speechless.  My first instinct was, "What the hell am I getting back into when i rejoin the tribe?!?!?!?"  I was nervous as heck.  Last thing I told Olivia and Jess was they still have majority if they want to do anything with that....aka I was inferring they should throw the next challenge, without actually saying "throw it".  But my nerves calmed down a bit when I heard the vote was 5-1-1(with a self vote). Immediately once i rejoined NuObor, i started fishing around for info. Stoner tells me Foxx put in work and was targeting Stoner and Lorelei.  Chris O didn't give much.  But then Owen and I called for a little bit and he spilled the tea.  Saying Foxx was messy and was indeed telling the newbies to vote Stoner, and the Vets to vote Lorelei.  Owen also tells me that early on in the game,, Foxx(i think) wanted to make a group of himself, Owen, Jess, Olivia, and Stoner but it never happened.  However, a group was made of Stoner, Foxx, Olivia and Jess.  (i think...we called last night and this is what i remember...god i should have made this last night while i remembered this all lmao.)  EITHER WAY, Foxx was seemed to be playing very hard, very fast and it caught up to him. It's a bit upsetting because Foxx was someone I wanted to work with, and it seemed as if we had similar thoughts on what we wanted to happen later on in the game.  But at least for right now, I appear to be in a safe position because i dont think Stoner or Owen want me gone.  Im trying to talk more with Chris and build that relationship because i think Chris is someone I can see myself working with longterm in this game.  Leigh and Lorelei are non-factors to me.  If i had it my way, Leigh is the next boot, but knowing my luck, Lorelei will bite the dust.  

So one thing i briefly mentioned in my host chat, is how i don't feel like I wanna work with the vets anymore lol.  Like they all seem fake and running down to Final 7 is cool and all but like.... i wanna win.  I said I felt like Malcolm in Caramoan.  I'm the new kid on the block.  I barely played in Kuwait and here I am in a newbie vs vet set-up.  Early on I felt like I did decent building connections and relationships. However as the game progressed, and the swap happened, and I'm getting to know people and better understand their games and motives, i really don't want to play with them longterm.  If I go down to Final 7 with the Vets like their "plan" is, I'm probably cut soon there after.  So I had the thought to team up with the newbies and try to flip the game on it's head.   As of right now the game sits at 7 vets and 5 newbies.  I'm assuming a newbie will die this round regardless of who goes to tribal.  And I am banking on on merge being at F11 and not F10.  Merging at F11 means that there will be four newbies left and hopefully they will be grasping for straws and latch onto me. That puts us at 6-5 meaning I need one more flip.  I would LOVE if I could convince Owen this is best for us.  Maybe even make an inner core of Owen, Myself, Chris O and one more.  So that way, he feels safe and wanting to go forward with it.  Because literally going to F7 with Vets and hoping for the best is dumb and stupid.  I want to play my game, not "Cahaya Vets till the end and then the game starts."  Fuck that.  I want to get the jump on the game and take control.  I dont care if people become angry with me, I have to do what I think is best for my game.  So hopefully, NuObor can win immunity and then NuCahaya gets Anabel out.  I feel like based on my talks with Trent, I can work better with him longterm.  Who goes home this round determines how i go about my gameplan for the later stages of the game.  But just know that this is MY time to shine.  This game is Mine for the taking and aint nobody gonna stop me

LEIGH

Yay, me and Chris get to be infiltrators!  I get to reconnect with Trent and Anabel!

Uh wow so these people over here are really direct.  When we had guests I was asking them about like where they work and how their day was going lmao. Over here they're like "So what happened at Tribal Council? Explain."  

LORELEI

I'm so happy that Chris, stoner and Owen were able to win this for us. I'm so relieved! Chris o and Leigh are the infiltrators for cahaya so I hope that they'll be able to vote out a returnee. I'm also glad that Owen and Chris didn't make a guess a fuss of sending two newbies to infiltrate! It's so nice to have a day off of worrying about being voted out.

ANABEL

that moment when my alliance is talking ab idol guesses and i have an idol and i have to pretend like i am too busy to search oof

OLIVIA

I told everyone I was in a lot of pain and I’d a long day and I needed to go to bed early which is all true. Now did I fall asleep early? No because insomnia, but I’ve been resting which is nice. I hope it doesn’t affect my standing in the group that I took tonight off essentially but I just couldn’t play if I tried. Oh well, I guess we’ll see how tomorrow goes

JESS

This vote is a mess. This game is a mess. I am a mess. I once again find myself in a weird voting situation which will force me to do some damage control afterwards. On one side I have the "Awesome Foursome" of myself, Anabel, Trent, and Michael. The other side I have the "Vets" which is myself, Michael, Isaac, Olivia.  Then there are these two infiltrators who probably want to see me gone. They have zero interest in trying to get to know me or work with me at this point. I'm not giving up hope and I will force them to love me. Either way we vote.. Michael and I are going to cause some waves so I'm NOT excited. I'm leaning towards keeping Anabel at this point because if I don't.. there's going to be more people mad at me and I want to have to do minimal damage control. She's also someone who will probably be messier along the way and that's one less body in front of me to get to the end. I need to somehow get Olivia in the loop though without exposing the plan for Isaac. I DON'T WANT ISAAC GONE but I have no choice right now. I feel terrible. I'm a horrible person. I should probably quit the community now and go hangout with Amanda Lynn on her secluded island. 

JESS (FOUR HOURS LATER)

So my game plan for this vote is simple. We need to vote out Isaac. I want to vote him out because as much as I love him.. sis ain't that active in this game. I need someone reliable to be on my side, to serve me some tea on my coldest days etc.. I just don't see Isaac being that person. Do I see Anabel being that person? NOT REALLY. BUT.... I need to keep Trent and Michael happy and they want to keep her. I need to show I'll put their interests before mine so they think they can control me 100%. I need to be that dumb bitch who they need is a number that will NEVER come after them... yada yada. As much as I'd WANT to keep Isaac. I can't make waves trying to keep Isaac in this game when the logic is against him. He's going to hate me after this. I'm going to be DONE in VL's after this so this is going to be fun.. I'm an asshole. I've accepted it. I refuse to blindside Olivia. It's not logical whatsoever. When it comes down to it.. we NEED Olivia. If the other tribe is tight (Which I think they are.. Owen wouldn't let himself go into merge without some solid numbers) we need the body count. So my plan is to create a 4 person chat between myself, Olivia, Michael, and Trent and "weigh some pros and cons". Before that though, Michael is going to plant seeds of doubts and Trent is going to act nervous. Hopefully that will cause Olivia's paranoia to peak out a bit and if the blame happens this vote at least it'll be on those two and not me. I'm good with that. Then I'll get one of them to create the 4 person chat where we "all" aka: them two voice their concerns about Isaac. We need to force her to see that Anabel is more of a solid number and Isaac may have been with the other side for the blindside Olivia was shook at.

OLIVIA

This is interesting. Trent, Jess, and I are the deciding factors in this vote. Trent wants Isaac, I want Michael, Jess wants anabel. I don’t want Isaac to leave. It may go that way

Do I tell Isaac I’ve heard his name?

LEIGH

No one's telling me what's going on here lmao I'm just gonna vote for Isaac if Chris agrees to it.

OWEN

SO FUCKING RELIEVED we won. Can’t remember if I made a confessional yet. I did a little damage control with Matt but no clue if he still trusts me. I wish stoner went over as infiltrator to  Lear the air with the others but.... he dropped the ball lmao. He’s so hit or miss as an ally but for now seems loyal. Having a good day tho yeehaw ready for whatever is next

OLIVIA

My face is hot, my stomach is in knots, I’m so anxious and flustered. I’ve never voted out my number one before I fucking hate everything. What if the infiltrators team up with Trent Isaac and anabel and get me out ahshvdjshaak AHHHHHH I’m having s full blown anxiety attack I’m NOT ok I wanna play my idol for myself but that’d be stupid I wanna DIE

Isaac just said he’s going into a full on depressive episode and it’s his birthday HOW CAN I VOTE HIM OUT WHAT THE HELL

I’m gonna pass out at tribal

LEIGH

I don't believe Michael and Jess don't know what they're doing. I also don't believe Isaac and Anabel are the targets.  I kind of think Trent is.  And Trent is unwilling to vote for anyone other than Isaac cuz I guess he's too scared to take a risk.  So in a way, I hope they are targeting Trent so he takes the fall instead of Anabel if Chris and I are right.

JESS

Holy fuck. I am spiralling hard. A LOT HAS HAPPENED. So I was in the middle of this vote. Then Olivia threw out Michael's name. I told Michael about it. Then Olivia told me she has an idol. Then I told Michael about it. Then I attempted to flip this vote on Olivia. Then Olivia messaged me saying she's scared it is her. THIS COULD VERY WELL BE MY LAST CONFESSIONAL. I love you all. Thank you for hosting me. It has been a time <3 BYEEEEEEEEEE

Episode 5 - “someone literally thought the word rocks and you switched your vote” - Trent

After nuObor killed Kenny, the two tribes merged onto a one world beach, where they learned they would reward a member of the other tribe individual immunity. Upon the merge, the Cahaya kumbaya continued (or so it seemed) with the returnees engineering the challenge results in their favour. Otherwise they compared notes on all the newbies, making the season seem as if it was going to be a returnee steamroll.

When Matt & Isaac won immunity, it was revealed that they would in fact attend the opposite tribe’s tribal council as infiltrators. On NuCahaya, the returnees quickly got on the same page, and given Anabel & Trent’s success in ingratiating themselves with the returnees, Dylan became the easy scapegoat vote and was unanimously sent out.

On NuObor... people were cracking. Owen, who had been sceptical of Foxx since round one, when faced with an alternative of voting out Canadian queen Lorelei, rallied the troops to get Foxx out. Though the plan almost hit a snag when Foxx accidentally made it seem like he had heard of the plan, Foxx (and the entire nuCahaya tribe) were blindsided, with Foxx being sent out the door.

OLIVIA

Kenny was literally the one I wanted to leave so woohoo! No offense Kenny but you just seemed like the biggest threat!! Whew what a relief now we outnumber them on both tribes hehe

Why y’all gotta do Cahaya dirty like that with this twist we were ROLLING

TRENT

Well this twist really sucks. I am really hoping there is 2 different tribals and not one big one. Because if theres one big one i might be screwed. If there are two and only 7 vote, then i can work with that. I just gotta put on my social hat and be everyones friends but not toooo friendly or then ill be a target. but again. i really hate this twist.

FOXX

How...how did we convince a tribe I was a minority in to unanimously vote off one of their own?  And all three of them specifically want to work with me?? These newbies gave away their chance of gaining a majority. AND I connect back with my old tribemates in the One World twist. I got to meet Anabel, Dylan, & Trent. I got drunk af on call (not really) and apparently Trent is smart but would turn on his tribemates and Dylan is nice but inactive. With this weird twist I’m thinking the person who gets voted for the most from the other tribe is an Infiltrator. With merge approaching we’ll see.

MATT

Alright so leading up to tribal council, it became kinda obvious Kenny would be going home.  Not because i put in effort to stay, but because the newbies were scared to go to rocks.  So they caved in and voted out Kenny with us unanimously. Kenny voted for me which is whatever.  It didn’t phase me at all since i knew it was coming. But It was a nice feeling knowing the other three gave up on their tribe so quickly.  With them doing so, Stoner joins our tribe and we now hold a 4-3 majority on both tribes.  So effectively we could do anything we wanted to.  I think the four of us on NuObor can work really well together. So hopefully moving forward, we can win immunity and stay strong.

OLIVIA

Upset I didn’t get immunity but we did it the fair way, terrified of the twists and whats to come

OWEN

Last tribal went rlly well, I got what I wanted, it was Gucci. I set myself up so well on this tribe to be between Leigh/Chris/Lorelei and Stoner/Foxx/Matt. I rlly worked to build trust with the newbies and it clearly paid off since they gave up the numbers and took one of their own. The only thing bothering me is that foxx, who I would want to flip on, got put in the alliance with me Leigh and chris..... But now this twist kind of comes and fucks with everything bc the original returnees tribe is working closely together ahhhh and they wanna do what they can to protect all 8 of us. I’m starting to feel torn because on the one hand I rlly like talking to olivia jess and Isaac. And matt. Like we had a ton of fun on call last night and I don’t wanna turn on those people. But on the other hand I really want to prove loyalty to chris O, Leigh and Lorelei. And I don’t rlly mind Trent and anabel either.,,, so it’s tough. I agreed to give Isaac and Matt the top positions on the lists, but then I went and told chris o and Leigh that the returnees were working together and that Matt would probably be immune. Leigh mentioned that ‘it would probably have to be lorelei’ then.... which got me rllll shook :( I don’t want any of those three out this round and I have no clue how to do this. To be honest, I’m hoping that the top two vote getters leave and we can send out Dylan and the newbies can take out a returner, hopefully michael or something. That’s best case scenario for me rn.... but I have no idea what to expect with the twist I spread myself too thin again :((( like always. But the difference this time is I generally like almost everyone and pretty soon I’m going to have to make some choices. What I need to focus on is, once merge come, where will I have the most options? I don’t want to stay returnee strong forever. I won’t!!!!! But I will protect olivia jess stoner Isaac and matt for as long as I can....

JESS

So this whole twist has been a wild ride. I REALLY wanted to be safe so I could set myself up a little bit here with the newbies and such. However, I also didn't want to be the one who pushed for my safety when no one else was. It's just a bad look and it's messy. I just HATE that i'm going to be forced to show my hands here. It's way too early to make a move against the vets. I'd be out-numbered and I'd lose Michael's trust. On top of it all..... I don't have a solid enough relationship with the newbies to fall back on. All of my interactions with them have been very surface level. PLUS, attempting to murder one of my "own kind" will give them an excuse to come after me before any of these newbies. It's almost USELESS for me to vote with Trent and the gang when both Anabel and Dylan RARELY talk game to me. I do feel bad for Trent though because I do want to work with him. I do also see how this move would help me in the long run. The vets are dangerous and there are a few REALLY dangerous vets in this game. I just don't know if I'm willing to shake things up at my expense this early in the game... BUT I may never get as good as a chance to get someone like Olivia again. 

OLIVIA

Trent came to me and said he thinks we have a really strong relationship and it’s like oh honey I’m so sorry I did not mean to lead you on but we’re just friendly we’re not ride or dies and now he’s sorta bagging on Jess TO MY FACE who is my number one in this game and ahsjshsjab. But maybe I should keep Trent around as a side piece if he trusts me 👀🧐 but I gotta tell my alliance what he’s saying bc I don’t trust him whatsoever so I’m just copying and pasting everything he sent to me to my alliance with Foxx, stoner, and Jess lmao and I’ll probably tell Isaac later

OWEN

honestly/???? this twist turned out to make things a liiiil better for me than I was expecting. first of all, matt is safe which is good af and so is isaac. instead of having to deal with 8 votes due to infiltrator, there are only 7, which means my vote has more power bc majority is 4 instead of 5 yeehaw. but the fact that it is one world raises this complexity a shit ton and also the stakes. i know i need to be more careful with what I say. that being said, i was in no way careful with what I said tonight and basically told chris o. everything sakdfjhdskj i told him that the old cahaya's worked together for the challenge, and that I wanted foxx out over lorelei but if I had to vote stoner instead i'd do that too nnnn why am i a messy bitch. I rlly REALLY dont want stoner gone, its like not beneficial for my game at all. but really lorelei leaving doesnt help me either???? voting lorelei unanimously is the easy move without a doubt, and I'm sure that's what foxx is gonna want to push for because he is in the alliacne with me+leigh+chris and is in that other foursome with (side note - i stopped mid confessional to literally go and text chris o and tell him about the jess/foxx/stoner alliance oops1!1!) stoner. so that leaves lorelei as the only person he isn't aligned with as far as i know. technically im aligned with all five of my vote options butttt fuck it i feel like stoner would help me make a move against foxx honestly. if I could get leigh on board, it'd be set bc I feel like chris o would do it based on what he told me tonight and lorelei would want to save herself. its tricky as fuck right now.... because basically all chris o has to do is run to foxx/stoner and tell them I exposed everything and I'm gone. but honestly? idc!!!!!1 :) im here to have fun and do what I want. that's whaat I keep telling myself anyways lmao but the things I want hurt people I like, so where does that leave meeeee idk. if i can get stoner, chris o. AND lorelei on board for foxx and somehow keep it a secret + convince leigh??? then i'm rockin and rollin. ill do damage control with the vets later.... lolol i dont rlly care if michael is mad at me but jess/olivia/matt/isaac i dont wanna do dirty :((( WHYYYYY is this so hard for me?

OLIVIA

What’ll I do once the newbies are gone. I don’t want any returnees to leave. That’s assuming I make it that far which is never good to do but you do wanna think ahead. Aghhhh 

MATT

woo so after tribal led to to a twist of One World.  Both tribes came together on one beach and we had to rank the other tribe in terms of who we want to get immunity.  So the 8 of us Cahaya members came together in our old tribe chat and started strategizing on who to give immunity to.  Because we both have 4 members on both tribes, we can easily submit the same list which leads to two of us getting immunity.  For the NuObor tribe, it quickly was between Stoner and myself (Stoner for being the newest member  on the tribe, me for getting voted last time/beef with leigh. ). I obviously wanted immunity but couldn’t outright say it because i don’t think it would’ve sat well with the tribe.  for NuCahaya, none of them seemed to want to give any kind of info up or who might need it.  Eventually on sunday, Olivia and owen kinda took charge of the situation and said Matt (me) was gonna get immunity and we randomize it for the NuCahaya tribe, which ended up being Issac. And another twist which we expected, is that the both of us are the infiltrators for the round.  So I’m voting with NuCahaya and Issac is voting with NuObor. As for the vote, we were discussing what would be best, and i suggested Lorelei but others thought she could be more useful later down the line.  Which means it would be left between Leigh and Chris.  And as right now, i think everyone knows i prefer Leigh to go.  I don’t care if she overreacted and apologized and whatever.  She made the big scene in the tribe chat.  She put a target on my back.  She snapped.  She needs to go.  Hopefully I can talk to Owen and make sure she could go home.   As for NuCahaya, it seems they aren’t too fond of Anabel, so it’s likely she will be voted out.  Anabel was one of the few people i knew coming into this game, but i wasn’t actually looking towards using that pre-existing relationship.  She’s a nice girl and a good player, but i came into this game hoping to make bonds and move further with new friends and faces.  So if she needs to be voted out, then so be it.

OLIVIA (this is five confessionals in a row)

I no longer go by Olivia I am now only Idol Queen

I told Isaac I had an idol and I deeply regret it he didn’t react maybe the way I thought he would but we also like cemented our friendship and ally ship tonight and he was the first one to actually talk about Cahaya members for real with me and not just like super sunshine. No one know my alliance with Matt and Owen is a thing like it’s something very unexpected and that’s kinda cool, also i don’t think anyone would expect fox stoner Jess and I to be together? And same with Isaac and I being close like I know the newbies know Cahaya are close knit for now but I don’t think any of my alliances are obvious which is cool. I’m just very paranoid and anxious this time around when I said I wouldn’t be lmao. But it’s weird like I feel that anxiety through the whole tribe like normally waiting for results isn’t too big a deal and you’d think we’d be excited about it but MAN we were buggggging out today it’s a really weird collective anxiety

https://youtu.be/9nIMZVmSrlY

Why can’t I keep my mouth shut I’m such a fucking moron like I’ve never known a dumber player than myself

WHEW but anyways I still have the idol which is WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

LEIGH

So I just used a random list generator for the immunity challenge. I figured it didnt matter what I did anyway. Them giving it to matt was no surprise for us. Ostensibly it is Lorelei or Chris S going due to me/owen/foxx/chris o. But I would feel better about splitting up Owen and Foxx. And considering I voted out Foxx in our last game I would like to keep him this time. The problem is Owen seems protective of Lorelei which may go both ways. So it may have to be Foxx.. we will see.

FOXX

There was like...a religious Coming to God experience about my being a furry last night. Like...Lorelei legit did NOT KNOW. I’m beginning to think these people did not watch my bio. My goal today is to try and take Lorelei out. I really don’t want to. It’s exhausting as hell to put so much energy in people I like to talk to just to watch them go. Lorelei is sweet and funny but I can’t sign away my chance to win this game. Chris O.  apparently is trying to get Stoner to target us but tbh I don’t take it personally bc he knows he’s in a rough spot. These newbies are being pagonged on two separate tribes and I don’t blame them for being desperate. I’m gonna need them coming along though in order to secure a better spot in the sea of Cahayas come merge time. We’ll see.

ISAAC

So I won immunity!!! We shittin' lads! This round has gone so well for me so far like? I'm nervous that this is about to go down so quickly. In other news I forged a Final 2 with Olivia and I genuinely like her so that's cool and in response to our call last night she told me she had an idol? Thas power luv xx. As for tribal these freaks wanna take out Lorelei as of right now? Like? What the fuck? Leigh is super smart and Chris is.......dead but like I don't quite understand how getting rid of Lorelei is in our best interests? But whatever - it's too early to make waves so - if that's who they want that's who I'll do. I'm trying to play this game and make myself look more aloof and/or dumber than I actually am because in the past I've shown how observant I can be and that got me sent packing but as of right now (even before I had immunity) It seems as if I'm not on anyone's radar. Which is how I obviously wanna keep it but I'm super nervous of the other vets (and Trevor/Anabel) as I know they're capable of striking first - which is fine as long as it's not on me or someone I'm working with - at the moment. But the risks of flipping right now - far outweighs the benefits because everyone on the favorites tribe has been holding their breath for so long and the first person to turn is going to get destroyed because they are (we are) looking for any reason to get rid of anyone.

https://youtu.be/IrOqnZdvI6M This is how I feel about Anabel right now

If Trent idols me out honestly he deserves it

OWEN

I was freaking out lst night about what to do, then today it was like nobody even freaking TALKINNNGGGG which is so frustrating. I want to make things happen but I need other people to put in the work and rn chris stoner is NOT doing that. He's moved down a lot in terms of who I trust literally just bc he stopped paying attention the last few days. So now it seems like saving Lorelei comes with two options.... getting foxx to do stoner, or just grabbing the newbies and doing foxx. I wasnt sure if it would work bc I was beating around the bush but FINALLY chris o came to me and said leigh would be down but she wanted me to bring it up to her. So I did.... now it seems like lorelei, chris o and leigh will all be doing foxx, and my vote would make it a majority. Do I trust them all? i do. i really hope I can. I'm paranoid as fuck because if I pull off this move I get what I've wanted the whole game ever since he got into that alliance LMAOOO but.... if this blows up in my face I'm going home. It's all in now :(( and hopefully we dont swap/merge after this so I have a round to pick up the pieces. im basically saying fuck playing safe, i want what I want and I'm gonna get it!!!! i WILL be the furryslayer tonight yall, so grab the popcorn :)))) lmao watch me be corinne kaplan'd and im the one being blindsided instead. oh well, either way, someone will be shocked tonight

OLIVIA

On call with Matt and Jess and they’re talking about where idols could be and I’m just here like 👀

OWEN

KJFADHDSKJFHSDKJFSD OMG FOXX IS MESSAGING ME "oof" and I said some emojis and he said "come on dude" so literally someone told him the plan IM SCREAMING?????????? WHY DOES NOTHING GO RIGHT FOR ME AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1

FOXX

I’m trying to check in with Isaac and this dude *will not* respond. I’m absolutely nervous af. I’m hoping he didn’t go rogue but it’d be a death sentence of he did. My main concern is trying to get Lorelei (RIP) to be locked in as a target. I’m panicking. Stoner’s panicking. Owen’s panicking. It’s a regular panic session.

I hope this goes as planned

OWEN

I talked to chris stoner and he said it would be better if he votes foxx so we can make it seem like foxx was being sketchy and we were more unified which I agree with and appreciate. Lorelei and Chris know that stoner wants to do that I’ve been talking to foxx s little and he’s worried about Isaac but that seems it. If he knows he’s getting votes then he’s being a good liar. I guess if he doesn’t know then it’s me who is bein the good liar oop hskshsj I just want this tribal to be doooooone with ! I’m ready to move on!!!!!!! Pre tribal stress is so so so bad :( This is kind of boring confesh lmaoooo hm idk probably after this vote my closest-least trusted: 1. Chris O 2. Chris Stoner 3. Lorelei 4. Olivia 5. Leigh 6. Jess 7. Matt 8. Isaac 9. Anabel 10. Trent 11. Michael 12. Dylan 13.  Foxx Pls Carly Rae Jensen watch over me tonight

OLIVIA

Goss? IM NERVOUS AS FUCK

LORELEI

I'm very stressed Abt this tribal. Me going is very high possibility. Owen said he would vote with me , chris and Leigh but there is a chance that he could be lying. We agreed to vote foxx out but what if he found the idol and has immunity? Or what if it's his and Owens plan and I go home anyway? I'm very scared. And I know that Owen being at the ranking isn't a mistake, he's planning sth.

[ts-indonesia]

Episode 4: “cutthroat kitchen but make it sex” - Owen

As episode four hit, it was time for a swap! The swap tribes were a Cahaya majority on NuCahaya and an Obor majority on NuObor, with Stoner sent to exile!

On NuCahaya, Owen finally had his dream of getting to work with some newbies, namely Lorelei/Leigh/Chris O & remained sceptical of Foxx. On NuObor, Trent/Anabel ingratiated themselves with the returnees, leaving Dylan vulnerable on the tribe. 

In the music video challenge, despite some... upsetting banana moments that should never be spoken of again, NuCahaya snatched up immunity! At NuObor’s tribal, under threat of rocks, the tribe settled on a consensus of Kenny. 

At tribal, the original Obor majority was squandered, with Kenny sent out unanimously, and Stoner taking his place on the tribe. With that, a totally untwisted and simple round was what faced the Indonesia players next!

LORELEI

I hate the swap

LEIGH

Not a tribe swap! Ahh!  At least I ended up with good people from my tribe, and we have Owen who I bonded with when he visited.  Foxx, I played with him in my first ORG in 2017.  I voted him out.  But Chris blindsided him then even worse.  I'm HOPING Foxx doesn't hold a grudge.  But even if he doesn't hold a grudge, he could still be aware of what a strong player I have been in some of my past games.  That makes me nervous.  But oh well, we'll see what happens.

DYLAN

So far im glad that i got put with Annabel and Trent as I feel they both trust me, especially Annabel. I feel i connected well with Jess and Olivia when they were infurtrators so all though I'm in minority in terms of tribe vs tribe I think im still in a good spot. but holy fuck my tribe is actually annoying the shit out of me. Theyre acting like this music video is rocket science or like they have to build the fucking 97th wonder of the world. Pick a fucking song. If you want a theme pick a fucking theme. Its not that hard. JUST FUCKING PICK SOMETHING

OLIVIA

Back to trusting Jess again! And I’m with Isaac 😍 and Michael who is cool too. I like the newbies we’re with they’re literally the only three i talked to lol

ANABEL

FOXX

So everyone gets super paranoid before Tribal and tries to change the plan. I’m telling everyone to remain calm and lo and behold everything is just peachy and Julian leaves, although not especially gracefully. Considering the circumstances, though, can hardly blame the dude. New tribe consists of Kenny and Lorelei, as well as Leigh and Chris. I actually met Leigh in an unrelated Facebook game and we talked a bit. She didn’t have the nicest things to say about me on my way out but that’s neither here nor there! :’) And we swap! And we’re fucked! Matt, Owen, & myself are against four Obors, completely outmatched. However! We have the Infiltrator Twist at our disposal. If we don’t win next immunity, we can hope the infiltrators are in fact ex-original Cahaya. My plan is if they do in fact come from Cahaya we have them vote with us three and force a tie. With a 4-4 tie we can go to rocks. However! Since the person with votes is safe on a rock draw only two former Cahayas are drawing rocks and three former Obor draw rocks meaning we have a 60% chance of us not getting eliminated. It’s definitely not doomsday and if that plan works it’ll be the Outfoxx of the uh...first four episodes? Whatever. Frankly I’d rathercwin the challenge and get over it.

TRENT

Well. I guess swap could have gone worse. But going in without the majority is not ideal.  Luckily, I already know Jess and Olivia because they were infiltrators and we talked a pretty decent amount. Luckily I went with Anabel, who I know has an idol, and dylan who i have a pretty decent relationship. I've talked to jess quiet a bit and being pretty open with her trying to show that I trust her and I think shes doing the same. She's claiming to now want to make it about Newbies vs Returnees, which if true could help us a lot. My plan is to keep working jess as much as I can the next few days, to the point that she trusts me talking mostly about IRL stuff and not talking about game much at all. I THINK i can make her flip if we lose, I have a plan and I already know what I'm going to say, I just can't guarantee it will work.

Sooooo I have to edit the video which is gonna be stressful af but I’ve done it before and it turned out amazing but I accidentally deleted everything an hour before it was due and the hosts wouldn’t give an extension so that was rough and I’m scared of that happening again lol. It’s great to be here with Jess and Isaac but I don’t think she trusts him like I do and I think on the call last night we were too friendly and probably revealed to her that we’re close which I was hoping to keep on the down low since I’m in two other alliances that he’s not a part of lol but hopefully she thought it was generic friendly chatter. I really like Jess she’s super cool and I’m glad to be here with her. Michael is also a sweetheart and I’m glad he’s here like he seems trustworthy and this is a good opportunity for us to get to chat more hopefully? We all agree Trent is a bit blunt and slightly odd putting because of that but he’s cool to talk to. Dylan is on vacation, of course, so I’ve only talked to him a little bit? Anabelle (idk how she spells it sorry) is pretty cool but a bit of a depressed crackhead like she def wants to fuck serial killers which I know is trendy but concerning. Again, hella nervous for editing but hopefully if it turns out well we’ll win and if we don’t win but the edit is still good I’m safe lol. 

FOXX

Tribe swap. Minority. No idol. This is like Psychological BDSM with no safe word. Kinky! I’m trying to be as friendly as possible and help with the challenge because I really, really don’t want to go to tribal like this. I have solid relationships with Leigh and I even played with Chris O. in another ORG, which he won. He’s a really good social player. We’re doing a Destiny’s Child song because ORGers don’t know any artists that aren’t Beyonce but tbh I’m ok with anything as long as I can prove my worth and loyalty to my new tribemates. I didn’t come out of retirement to get Swapfucked. Just gotta be cunning and charming. If only there was a thing - maybe even an animal - that exemplified those traits. Like a tapir. Yeah, gotta outtapir people.

So I burned my dignity in effigy for this challenge so I hope we have enough to muster up a win but I’m nervous as hell. As a backup I’m trying to talk one-on-one with my new tribemates so they might be inclined to keep me. Thoughts so far: Kenny: Both gamers so we have stuff to talk about  and he seems like a real nice dude but he’s also a bit inactive. Leigh: Hilarious. She’s very likable and easy to get along with. Lorelei: Has so much energy and good at conversation. Chris: Very sweet but I can definitely tell he’s good at buttering people up. I would prefer to not have to turn on Owen or Matt because they’re great dudes who worked their ass off in this game but I really need to keep my options open. Better to live with guile than die with honor.

Every time I’m in Japanese class and someone says domo arigato I have to physically restrain myself from saying mr roboto. Also these results can’t come fast enough. I worked my ass off on this video as did everyone else and I hope the judges see that :(

JESS

*Channel her inner Lizzo* Why is Trent always freaking trying to call me? Woo! I just took a DNA test, turns out I'm 100% crackhead Even when I’m really not a target Yeah, I got alliance problems, that’s the crackhead in me Bling Bling, now I’m paranoid, that’s the virgo in me. You could had a chill game, just a little Help you with your jury management, kinda simple You’re supposed to calm it down, but you ain’t doing that And that’s the sound of you having a panic attack Why is Trent always freaking trying to call me? Stop texting me, unless you got some real tea. No new friends, I don’t really really care. Shampoo press, pulling out all my hair. Fresh wounds, with another tribal. New enemies, probably need a bible. Truth hurts, this is giving me more anxiety. Bom bom bi dom bi dum bum bay Now I’m stuck again In a weird position Got two alliances, going head to head. Hey I’m glad, you’re back with number one I mean why you gotta tell me this? I will never, ever, ever, ever, ever be your returnee chick I put the paraaaaaaaa in paranoid. Always worried about everything, I’m kind annoyed. So you can tell your friend “Jess is probably really losing it” It’s Okay, they probably already knew it. Why is Trent always freaking trying to call me? Stop texting me, unless you got some real tea. No new friends, I don’t really really care. Shampoo press, pulling out all my hair. Fresh wounds, with another tribal. New enemies, probably need a bible. Truth hurts, this is giving me more anxiety. Bom bom bi dom bi dum bum bay Now let’s side track for a minute. (yeah yeah) Got returnees and newbies in this. We don’t fuck with ties, it’s probably all lies We just keep on bullshitting like aye vi vi I bet you Chris Stoner has an idol (yeah yeah) This game has got me homicidal We don’t fuck with ties, it’s probably all lies We just keep on bullshitting like aye vi vi Why is Trent always freaking trying to call me? Stop texting me, unless you got some real tea. No new friends, I don’t really really care. Shampoo press, pulling out all my hair. Fresh wounds, with another tribal. New enemies, probably need a bible. Truth hurts, this is giving me more anxiety. Bom bom bi dom bi dum bum bay

So tribe swap finally happened. I'm actually okay with my tribe? Trent was the one newbie I really "connected" with on the newbie tribe when I "infiltrated". Anabel so far seems cool but I already can tell this girl is going to be a BEAST in this game. She's pretty, charming, and you can tell she has more than my two brain cells combined times 1000. Dylan is.................... something else. I honestly have no idea. He could be an easy push under the bus if we lose? I'm also just here waiting for the results of probably the most NERVE WRACKING challenge of my life. Why you ask? Well if my tribe loses this challenge I'm going to be forced to show my hand way tooo early in this game. I somehow positioned myself right in the middle of the vets and the newbies. On one side I have Olivia, Michael, and Isaac. On the other I have Dylan, Trent, and Anabel. Us losing LITERALLY will force me to pick a side I will probably ride with until merge. The safer move would be obviously to stick with the returnees if they give me no reason to doubt them before this potential tribal (I'm not too confident in this video). However, the SMARTER move may be to take out a returnee who will be threatening down the line. Let's just pray to Katy Perry we did her justice and won't be seeing tribal. xoxoxoxo gossip girl.

LEIGH

Soooo I filmed 4 different bits for that music video and only one was used. I'm a little irritated about that because it doesn't reflect the level of effort I put into it.  Also cuz I slightly bruised myself when I dramatically fell taking off a sweater, and I really hoped that would be respected. Oh well. I know how much content I filmed, at least. And editing it must have been tricky.

I feel like since the majority of what was included was the lip syncing (though everyone slayed it!), the message was lost and now the bits of people falling over don't really make sense. I think the judges won't get what we were going for.

CHRIS O

i just realized that with the intruder twist it's pretty likely the vote will be 4-4 and uhhhhh im a scared boi plz someone help me

LORELEI

I'm very nervous about the music video results. I really hope we win, if we don't I may be going home because I didn't want to film myself because of personal reasons. I'm very scared. For the music video, it's a very tough challenge because I know that the people on the other tribe are very creative and talented, Anabel is a singer and loves to perform, Dylan is a rapper, Jess and olivia seemed creative. There's a very high chance that they'll win. But I really hope that my tribe does. We really need this win. I really need this win if I want to stay in the competition. 

MATT

heyo friends.  So we voted Julian’s ass out and that’s alright with me!!!!     Unfortunately i predicted a swap was happening after tribal and i was correct (boo!). The results came out, and Owen, Foxx, and myself are in the minority on the NuObor tribe. At first look, you would think we’re fucked, but i think we have a good chance to survive.  I think the three of us are totally willing to stick together, so it’s just a matter of convincing one to flip.  owen feels confident about flipping someone.  And if worst comes to worst, we throw foxx under the bus, and try to survive another round.  HOWEVER foxx brought to my attention that if we lose, the infiltrators twist is still in effect. So if we lose, the OG Cahaya tribe still has majority on the other tribe, which means they can vote in 2 of us and send them over our way.  That way we can at least force a tie, and force rocks.  I think i would go to rocks for both owen and foxx. Owen and i have become good allies and foxx is a really cool dude.  i do wanna tru and go far with them if we make it out of here

LEIGH

Wow. What the fuck did I say? I included 4 fucking scenes and he CUT THEM OUT.  And I got called useless and 0? How fucking embarrassing.  Jesus christ.  We agreed on a theme for the video-- and nothing with the theme was included.  Awesome.

KENNY

I do feel bad and feel like i might be in danger but 1. Oboe has majority on this tribe and 2. I feel like I have a pretty good connection with most. And after I say that, I’ll most likely go this round. These hoes ain’t loyal.

OLIVIA

😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎 Jones’ mom 🤬 The other judges 🥰😘

LEIGH

I really hope this wasn't on purpose. If it turns out it was, that's so fucked up to me.  Literally sabotage.  And if it were an honest mistake, then that's at least a bit better.  Although I LITERALLY put the idea in the chat that "We can put the fails in the beginning, and put the successful clips at the end" and Foxx agreed.  I literally gave out ideas, I filmed, I did everything I needed to do and now no one will even know it.

LMAOOOO IM A FUCKIN MESSSS ok so i like confirmed with leigh/chris before we lost tht we wouldnt vote each other out. i rlly rlly like them, and lorelei. more than I like talking to foxx/matt/most ppl from my tribe. I love matt, but he's not the best at bein social apparently and for some fucking reason foxx is. chris + foxx were bonding hella in the tribe chat tonight which made me MAD. first foxx has to snatch chris/jess/olivia, now chris o???? BYEEEE not gonna lie, I irrationally want so badly to vote foxx out this round. i dont feel comfy with him in the game even though I'm pretty sure he'd work with me for now. and I want to make myself build trust with leigh/lorelai/chris o. But I rlly think they're gonna want to vote matt... :((( luckily the infiltrators came and I think rn we're gonna vote kenny bc they'll be least likely to  keep him around + he didnt submit???? so if they vote matt and we ote kenny it's 4-4 and then....rocks....? ill tell u rn, my ass isn't drawing a rock. idc if they vote for foxx or for matt, im not drawing. so I guess best case scenario is they flip on kenny, but second best is they vote foxx and I flip and vote foxx out.... but even then, that's stressful I called with chris and basically told him this. I maybe shouldnt have said that I'd flip on foxx bc now im paranoid he'll go tell foxx and get the votes on me.... but idk. he said he wouldnt mind flipping on kenny but he's worried about next round if chris comes and we have majority, which i rlly dont blame him for. but if kenny goes, i promise im not voting for lorelei/leigh/chris o next round xoxoxo ideally chris o/leigh/myself could start some s ort of alliance. I wish they liked matt so the four of us could get one going... idk. maybe chris could be pulled in??? i dont wanna be in that foursome with foxx bc eventually im gonna write foxx's name down unless im out first faskjdfhkdsjf IDK WHY IM SO PRESSED ABOUT FOXX. I like him as a person like it isnt personally i think im rlly just still mad he got into an alliance and I didnt LMAOOOO also sometimes he uses big words will my messiness bite me in the ass? prob :P but itll be fun anyways

LEIGH

Well, I've calmed down, like I do.  I tend to react at a 10 and then come back down.  It's why my social game sucks so much sometimes.  I don't believe I was set up. It was probably an oversight.  Being embarrassed is like the one emotion that really sets me off. I always want to come across as smart and confident and important.  So when I'm told I am useless, and all people saw me for is a dog pulling me over, it's really embarrassing.  It makes me feel vulnerable and I don't like it.  And when I feel vulnerable, I snap and get mad as a defense mechanism.  It's shitty of me.  I'll apologize to Matt, because he deserves it.  Hopefully I didn't torpedo my chances with my temper but if I did, that wouldn't surprise me hahaha and I would've done it to myself.  I'm hoping people will just look at my little freak out and say "At least she's honest".......

FOXX

The challenge was frankly not even close. It really hurts to go from a tribe of overachievers to a tribe that loses more challenges. I genuinely like everyone on my tribe. I think frankly I get along *better* with this group than the Cahayas. But I still think I need to secure myself a place in the merge. I was so bummed to lose the challenge but Michael, not unlike Gandalf at the Battle of Helm’s Deep, arrives *precisely* when he means to completely onboard with my plan before I say a word. The plan is to have Chris/Michael, Owen, Matt, & your plucky vulpine friend vote for Kenny. He’s relatively inactive, didn’t help much in the challenge, and has received a vote  at both tribals he attended. Once again, I genuinely like the dude but he’s the most logical target. Leigh & Chris, whom I’ve bonded the most with, have told me they have no plans to vote for me and you know I 100% believe them. Their target is Matt. The goal is to set a tie and it’d be Leigh, myself, Chris, Lorelei, & Owen drawing rocks.  They have a 60% chance of going how and I don’t think they’re willing to do it to spare Kenny. It’s Alliance Chicken and our car is smaller but it has less damage. Stoner will be joining the tribe which means I 100% will have another Cahaya in our side but I had to explain to him, “No Stoner. You aren’t on the tribe yet. No, Stoner. You and Michael don’t each have a vote.” He’s a riot and a half as well as a badass player but he really does live up to the name. The fact there’s an alliance of guys named Foxx & Stoner is just. I can’t take it. It’s too stupid to be true but too ridiculous to be made. God...sometimes the world is good. I really don’t want anyone to leave. I like everyone here. No one here *deserves* to leave. But I gotta use my brain and not let someone cut my throat because I was too nice to get to them first.

LEIGH

I talked to matt and he was super nice and understanding. I'm aware I went off the handle and was a complete bitch in my other confessional and for someone who doesn't like to be embarrassed, well, it was pretty embarrassing.

MATT

we fucking lost the challenge.  and it’s upsetting, but while i was editing the video i kinda figured we would anyway.  Only Owen and Chris sent videos of the actual song, and then i recorded a whole bunch of filler material.  Foxx and Leigh only sent me b-roll footage, lorelei sent the voice over for the beginning of the video, and kenny did jack shit.   Losing the challenge is one thing and i can handle that,  but when Leigh starts ranting in the tribe chat about how her entire 90 seconds didn’t make the cut, and how her feelings are hurt and how it should’ve been edited better and yada yada ya, it pisses me the fuck off. like i’m literally the only one who could edit the damn thing .  Lorelei said she might be able to, but had limited time, so i stepped up to the plate and did it.  If you didn’t fucking like it, then you can fucking edit it next time.  How dare I try to edit together these crappy videos into a decent music video.  Like fuck off.   On top of that, apparently my name is already floating around as a potential vote...like why?  Because the other tribe doesn’t wanna respond to me?  Because i wasted my time editing a losing video? because why the fuck not?  it pisses me off.  Luckily for me, Michael and Stoner are here as infiltrators, and can help us at least tie the vote.  We’re planning on getting them to flip on the revote, if not, we go to rocks.  If we go to rocks, only 2 of us draw compared to 3 of them.  it’s a big risk, but it’s one i think we need to take.  If the rocks don’t go in our favor, and Foxx or Owen leave, i die next round anyway.  So fingers crossed this round goes well.

MICHAEL

The Game Begins!!! https://youtu.be/X0JJ6wpKw-8

FOXX

I don’t like this. I don’t want to vote anyone out. The plan still seems to be planning to vote Kenny and get someone to flip on a tie. Leigh & Chris are the most likely candidates imo. Frankly they proposed an alliance of those two, Owen, & myself and I’m super into it but I need to make sure an Obor goes home so it can happen. I’m trying to convince Michael throwing challenges on Cahaya is a good idea so we can keep the majority on both tribes especially since he sees Anabel as a social threat. If that happens I can keep my strong relationships with Chris, Leigh, & Lorelei intact without having to turn on them or the Cahayas. I’m playing well; I just need to not get reckless and drink the Big Movez Kool-Aid. This is the most stressful night of the game.

ANABEL

KENNY

I’ve been avoided like the plague today, by even my old tribe mates. Lmao. I’m 90% sure it’s me but we’ll see.

LEIGH

Unless people are bamboozling me, Kenny is the vote.  Today I joined forces with Foxx and Owen, I believe.  Along with me and Chris.  So hopefully it works out.  I jutst took another hit and am full of alfredo so I aint got much to say that'll make sense

Voting Kenny sucks and is sad though cuz I'm a liar to him now and I haven't lied yet I don't think

Episode 3: “I guess he just wants to be homophobic or whatever” - Isaac

Motivated by a two round losing streak, the newbies battled against the returnees in the ‘bean dilemma’ challenge. After a tense 50:50 choice, the Obor tribe finally won immunity, sending the returnees (joined by Lorelei & Kenny) to tribal council - but Stoner went to tribal with an idol clue in hand.

As Cahaya scrambled, it became clear the vote was to be between two names; Julian & Isaac. While Stoner & Owen attempted to save Julian, his relative challenge/social inactivity and Isaac’s ability to get in with key returnees like Olivia, ensured Isaac’s own safety.

Before tribal council, Julian called out the tribe for voting him out, which alongside Lorelei’s messages in the tribe chat, sent the returnees into a tailspin. At tribal, Julian was sent out unanimously, with Julian calling out Stoner on his way out of the door.

JESS

These newbies.. TRYING TO SET ME UP? I- I'm shook. I don't know if I should tip my hat off to them or punch them all in the neck? JKJK.. But honestly, if I was a newbie I would blame the two random vets who just strolled in for the day to try and cause some conflict with a potential swap near. I'm probably once again overreacting but this just seems so suspicious to me... We lost :( which makes me sad. I didn't want to participate in this challenge but there seemed to be some urgency to get it over with and I didn't want to be "That bitch". I'm trying NOT to get involved in too many things and I'm failing MISERABLY. I hate this. Did I want to be an infiltrator? Kind of. I just honestly want to pull my weight on the tribe and make sure no one wants to murder me. I think I have enough ammo to murder Julian here sadly. So if it is me this vote I'll be the most blindsided I've ever been in my life. Michael and I are sharing idol clues which is pretty cool. I'm convinced there are NO IDOLS on this god damn map though or someone got lucky and already has it. I was contemplating going for the idol in this challenge but honestly... the risk wasn't worth the reward in the end which blows. Sorry if I sound like a god damn ROBOT this confessional. TOODLES

OLIVIA

Had a super great talk with stoner tonight. What a cool guy

I feel like Isaac is on the bottom and I fucking love him I literally don’t think I could vote him out (not that he’s on the chopping block) and he’s not in my alliance :( Also Owen and I agreed to keep our close bond a secret, secret o alliance hehe. But we called and talked tonight I love him too

I guess it’s a good problem to have that everyone on your tribe is fucking awesome but man it makes me nervous for the future. Damn can a tie or something. Isaac-Owen-Olivia-stoner-foxx-Jess-Matt you ALL WIN SURVIVOR!!!!

FOXX

So the challenge ended up being a disaster and we’re going to tribal. Although *technically* I didn’t compete so I’m going to say I have a perfect challenge voting record. That’s how that works, right? I’m just being petulant? Ok. Not much resembling an actual plan has come up yet. We formed an alliance with myself, Jess, Olivia, & Stoner and everyone has come to me about what the plan is so that’s just fine by me since it means I’ve given a good impression to my fellow tribemates. The consensus seems to be Julian since he seems to have contributed the least to the tribe thus far, sitting out of 2 challenges, being inactive, and having a not-great attitude when he visited the other tribe. Stoner is pushing for Isaac but I have a better working relationship with him AND he’s from my homestate so we have that. In the end though I’m fairly indifferent as to how things go. At least in the early stages where I haven’t been given eTrauma by have the cast it’s not fun to vote people out when everyone’s been nice to you but I better get used to it.  ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Someone talked. I made a couple of throwaway comments about Julian’s comment at the first Obor tribal and apparently he came and told Jess he was sorry about them. The only people who I talked about it with was Jess & Stoner. Both Isaac and Julian know they’re being targeted so somebody has done some talking. It’s been one week and I'm already hyperventilating.  

TRENT

So tribal last night didn't go exactly as I thought. Close but one little thing stuck out. I got a vote. I'm not too worried about it but it's a little strange. I think someone wants me to think it's the returnees but idk why. My theory is that it's chris. I think he's realized im his biggest threat and he wants me to get paranoid or rattled or wants me to lose my temper.  We then went to immunity challenge and killed it for our first win. Later that night anabel told me something very important. That she has the immunity idol. I'm about 95% sure she's telling the truth because I can't possibly think about why you'd lie about that because it would make a huge target on your back. She also told me she would be willing to use it on me if she had to. I told her she shouldnt do that because i don't want to ruin her game, but of course i'd want that. We will see. Going to be interesting who goes home on the other side. IF jess was being super honest with me the other night (which i think she was) I hope it's not her and that swap happens and that the Indonesia gods will bless me and put me on a tribe with her and Anabel.

MATT

ok so after last tribal, we pretty much head right into the next immunity challenge.  it only required four of our nine members, chris, owen and i stepped up and said we would do it.  however the battle for fourth was a DOOZY!!!  Michael was online but said he had a limited amount of time because  he goes into work soon.  Issac, Julian and Olivia weren’t online, Foxx didn’t seem interested in it, so that left Jess. However Jess decided she wanted to put on a whole production of “I can do it if y’all want but i don’t want to”.  For god knows how long, she went back and fourth between some variation of “i don’t mind doing it” and “michael you can do it idk if i wanna do it”.  like jess.  we get it.  you don’t wanna do it so literally just say so. like foxx has no problem doing that so why can’t  you??  But after this whole charade Jess ends up participating.  The four doing the challenge were myself, Chris, Owen, and Jess.  Owen and myself seemed to be the ones who spoke the most and were tying to plan our moves while Jess and chris were just like “ok what am i doing”.   We lost 3-2 and it sent us to our first tribal council.   While on call for the challenge, Chris( i think) brought up what if we lose, what’s the plan.  and mentioned how he wouldn’t go after any of us doing the challenge, we all agreed naturally.  And then it was brought up either Issac or Julian as potential votes.  Which is exactly what i would wanna do.  Both of them seem to be the least active and haven’t really done much for us.  i think issac is probably going to be the target this week simply because he has been the least active, rarely pops into tribe chat, and even chris said he hasn’t spoken to him.  (same goes for me).  So i do think Issac being the boot makes sense here especially with a swap on the horizon.  However i’m not going to make too big of a push for him to go because again, unnecessary target early on.  i want to make it deep into this game.  So my strategy is to make it seem like others have influence over me, agree with them, and subtly push my agenda towards them in a way that they can do what i want . i think being three rounds into this game, i do have somewhat of a solid footing in my tribe and could definitely have some pull later on, it’s just a matter of getting to the end game.

OLIVIA

I feel like everyone’s lying to my face and I’m gonna leave but I also feel like that about every tribal but idk. Something is up with Jess

ISAAC

This round has been genuinely so fucking stressful. It’s our first tribal and Julian says my name because I guess he just wants to be homophobic or whatever. As of right now I’ve been told by multiple different people that it hasn’t been able to pick up much traction (eat your heart out Stoner) and I thank god for that but I’m also dead inside. Like I didn’t wanna see Julian go but he also couldn’t keep his mouth shut which is ironic because the very reason he’s going home is because he doesn’t talk. In terms of sociability I’m really close to Olivia, Owen, and Jess. If we ever make an alliance I’d dub us the losers club but it hasn’t happened yet. Foxx is cool but I’m very weary of him. Chris Stoner is hard to hold a conversation with but I think that’s just because heavy faker than a 3 dollar bill. Michael is an adult and I’m a different time zone so it’s  hard to talk to him physically. Matt just started to talk to me today which left me shook like it’s Day 8(?) This game has started out so rocky for me but I genuinely think I’ve found a friend in Olivia

OWEN

ngl i dont remember what i said last kjfhasdkjfhkjds ??? i volunteered for challenge bc i wanted to slay the strategy but then i didnt listen to my gut in the last round and cost us the win :((( i shoulda know round 4 theyd do 0 so they could go all out round 5!!! but tbh im not sad at all about losing.... the more newbies i can reserve to work with at a swap, the better. plus i got to talk to lorelei again <3 and meet kenny!!!! i tried talking to ppl + fortifying relationships. i called olivia and that went rlly well, i love her and honestly she could be my f2 in this game. the double o alliance? its real !!!  i brought up the idea of the foxx/jess/chris/me/her alliacne and said foxx wanted michael and she told me she liked/talked to matt more than michael and i was like OMG GIRL ME TOO !!! and then I had an idea to make a chat with me/her/matt which i rlly love it seems like julian is goin which i dont mind, would rather michael/foxx go but im not tryna make waves and i want to buld trust this tribal. the only prob is chris told julian and now julian is freaking out. i really fucking wish jess/foxx/chris/olivia didnt have a four person alliance. like why wouldnt jess try to include me on that!!!??? vgrrrrr so idk about her but i like chris olivia and matt rn we definitely swapping tonight so imma gear up1 

ali asked me some questions and now i will answer them. first he asked how my time as infiltrator went and if it impacted my game... it definitely benefit me i believe. I made connections with chris o/lorelei/leigh/anabel, and I believe those will help me a SHIT TON if we swap tonight. jess let me know anabel likes me, lorelei has been talkin to me as an infiltrator, and im so excited to meet up with chris again if i can. i definitely used it to my advantage and i think it could save me in this game later on another question was what my plan is to avoid being sent out as a threat since i am a former winner/"big-brainer" ali said lmao im dumb af. i think part of that is gonna come from who i choose to play with. part of the appeal of the newbies is some of them might not know/care that I have won before. and chris stoner is a winner too so working with him kind of brings that down a bit. when I get voted out of this game, it will 100% be because im viewed as a threat i think. whether its like bc i won comps or bc people like isaac who have been around a while paint me as one idk but im going to have to work rlly hard to build trust with people and make them want to keep me here. other than that its just like...mapping out a path to the end and keeping big threats in the game. uhhh the last question was about who i'd like to see leave if we went to tribal again. definitely foxx, he's working with all the people i want to be working with and for some reason they put him in their alliance and not me :)) soooo love that for me xo bye bye furry

OLIVIA

Julian went awf and Lorelei is a crack addict and we’re about to have tribal and everyone is so fucking paranoid and on edge I can’t handle this

I literally only believe and trust Isaac at this point

MATT

Julian was very quickly the target thrown out for this round.  i had no qualms with that.  Julian was one of the two options on the chopping block.  Everyone seemed to agree on him pretty quickly.   also during class, owen approached me about an alliance with him and olivia which i absolutely ADORE!!! Those are two people i 100% wanted to work with and i’m glad an alliance was made 

[ts-indonesia]

Episode 2 - “Even though I won my minigame, our tribe still took an asspounding” - Dylan

As Owen & Julian returned to Cahaya, episode two begun, with a flash game wagering challenge. On the Obor beach, the “Charlie” alliance remained dominant over the tribe, while on Cahaya, alliances were more fluid, but with Isaac & Julian emerging as potential targets.

After a somewhat decisive Cahaya win in the challenge, Jess & Olivia were sent over to infiltrate the Obor tribal council (woo feminism?). After kick-starting the tribe’s first tribal call, Jess/Trent begun to fostering a relationship that would continue through to the endgame, and Rob emerged as a consensus for being the person people had spoken to least.

As tribal approached, Rob felt increasingly nervous, sensing his name was out there and targeted Kenny as an alternative vote. While he may have been unsuccessful in saving himself, he did manage to convince Dylan out of pity to throw his vote on Trent, causing a degree of paranoia over an already fractured Obor tribe.

At tribal itself, Rob was sent out 7-1-1, leaving the returnee infiltrators paranoid they were being framed, and the king of card pyramids out of the game.

FOXX

So I did not participate in the challenge at all since the last couple days have been relatively slow. I did maybe two things and was guilty af about it but we won! I love not having to worry about stuff like getting eliminated. I approached Stoner & Jess about making an alliance and we sealed the deal and Stoner dubbed it Snap, Crackle, Pop which is a very lame name but tbh I’m so glad to be in an alliance I’m ok being named after a freakish cereal-peddling breakfast gnome. Jess & Stoner definitely know what’s up in the game and are fucking hilarious but dealing with smart people means you can assume they’re thinking as  logically as you and thus it’s easier to appeal to their interests rather than dealing with more histrionic personalities. I also suggested we create a larger alliance roping in Olivia & Michael as they’re the most active. Michael’s a nice dude with similar interests and Olivia is super sweet and funny so I guess I’ll include them for selfish reasons. I’m just worried I’m overplaying at this point. Definitely think the less active people will be the first to go but I wanna keep winning  so I don’t have to worry as much. :’)

OLIVIA

FUCKING FLASHGAMES BARRY MANILOW IS MAD AT YOU

ROB

I’m just talking to everyone, setting myself up for the next few tribals. Everything seems to be going according to plan.

MICHAEL

When the hosts arent watching your confessionals *sad face* https://youtu.be/5VtSLMs86Zk

FOXX

Owen & Julian came back and said the other tribe is quiet as fuck and Julian straight-up said we were “messy” and “talk a lot” at their tribal. Not only is this dude not pulling his weight in challenges, being very insistent on how he should infiltrate the other tribe, he’s also talking crap about us in a public forum. Chill out dude, you’re making yourself a target. Regarding the challenge I kinda outsmarted it (outfoxxed it?) by saying we all play each of the games first and then decide based on such information who plays what and seeing how talented some people in are at some games and less so in others it seems to be paying off for us so far. Let’s hope I can continue to be friendly and helpful without making myself out to be too big of a personality. It’s not about how good I think I’m doing; it’s about how others think I’m doing and what they choose to do with that.

LEIGH

Awwwwright come on Casanova let's do this

The scores I have gotten so far in Casanova are 1300, 400, and 20,200. So I think I'm just gonna stop after 3 more attempts and hope 20,200 is good cuz i got homework to do lmao

Well fuck now I just got 47,600 so it looks like my 20k wasn't even that good

OLIVIA

Fuck flashgames and fuck anyone who likes them or anyone who has ever made a flashgame fuck flash games I fucking hate you flashgames DIE DIE DIE FUCK YOU FLASHGAMES. On a different note our tribe has really great communication and great support I really hope we win. But also fuckkkkkkkkk flashgames 🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬

FOXX

It worked! We won again and not only did I ace my portion with the highest wager but I also came up with the game plan that led to victory! God I'm so glad I'm not sucking! I kiiiiinda wanna go to Obor to create an impression and MAYBE get and advantage upon arriving but we'll see!

OLIVIA

IM AN INFILTRATOR BABY LEMME SPY ON YO ASS

FOXX

Really was considering putting up a fight for being part of the Infiltration because I really don’t wanna miss out but the last thing one needs at this point is bad publicity. My goal right now is to keep winning and try to form something of a majority alliance so I can avoid tribal council but also remain secure in the event we have to go. I’m glad if someone did go though it’s Olivia & Jess, two people I’ve built solid relationships with and hopefully they fan give us an idea on what’s on the other side. I’m really upset it took me this long to return to the prowl. I really do build up my self-esteem and suffering from anxiety and depression all my life makes me afraid to step out but I’m able to take center stage if I need to! Not having my anxiety meds for months has turned me into a mumbly, absent-minded, socially awkward mess but I think I’m managing surprisingly well. The other tribe might start feeling demoralized soon with losing back to back and the fact they’re already fairly inactive if Julian & Owen are to believed makes me a bit sad for them. But that sadness is quickly overtaken by pure...idk? Satisfaction that we’re winning so much. Let’s hope I don’t get too cocky and fuck it up...again. Foxes are cunning or something.

LEIGH

I got stomped in that challenge.  We lost hard though at least it wasnt just me.  Rob is gonna be the one to go cuz he talks the least. It makes me sad cuz we talked about music and stuff. I told him that I used to play French horn in middle school and people said it was a nerdy instrument, and he said it was a cool instrument. He seems like a really nice person. I wish he could stay.  But everyones gotta go sooner or later, myself included. And I think when we merge or swap, the other tribe is much more intense than this one. It might get zany up in here.

JESS

Alright so I actually made a video confessional for this round but I rambled and mumbled too much so you are all stuck reading a JK Rowling novel length confessional. So... within the first couple of days the words "Guyana" and "2nd place" have come up at least 15 times each. This is my legacy I guess. However, these people are making it something legendary when in reality I was slaughtered and left for dead. Stoner needs to be like Anna and LET IT GO. Honestly though, I don't really mind Stoner but I know he's charming his way across the tribe being buddy buddy with everyone. When you ask ANYONE on the returnee tribe who they like 9/10 will say "Stoner and Foxx". That to me POTENTIALLY translates to "Stoner and Foxx are making chats with everyone and trying to pull in a 3rd, 4th, or 5th". That or I need to punch myself in the face. It's anyones guess? Olivia approached me about forming a group of us two and Stoner and Foxx. I don't want that thumb print in this game. Am I against it? (yes)... I don't trust these three for shit. Am I going to refuse it? HELL NAW. I basically pushed the responsibility of forming this group onto Olivia so I don't have any responsibility for this group if it gets out. LITERALLY a couple hours after... OWEN approaches me with a proposal of a group consisting of myself, Owen, Olivia, Stoner, and Foxx. HMM. LITERALLY EVERYONE WHO I DON'T WANT TO WORK WITH IN THIS GAME... You see.. I really want to work with Michael. He ticks every box in a potential alliance mate in this game. However, if this gets out I'm fucked. I'm going to die. I also really wouldn't mind working with Matt B. He's an intellectual but he could potentially murder me. SPEAKING OF MURDER.... I have to murder someone on this Obor tribe. Why did I want to be an infiltrator? I'm a crackhead and boredom. I also wanted to keep to use this as an opportunity to bond with whoever I buddied up with from my tribe and use this as a way to get sassy details from the newbies. Speaking of these newbies.. Did y'all feel them crack? Talking to them was like talking to 4 kids on coke. They were all over the place!  We initiated the first tribe call and I think that was a pretty strategic move on my part. I kind of wanted to see dynamics and see how people meshed on call. Calls are kind of the hardest places to hide in my opinion.. HOWEVER, everyone just randomly left after a while so mission failed? I decided to use this as an opportunity to talk to Trent. Trent is someone who I know of through a friend. I've only heard nice things about him and that he's insanely loyal. HOWEVER...................... WOW................... He basically spilled his whole game in a heartbeat to me and I'm kind of shook. I'm still shooketh to the core currently. It's a LOT. He essentially confessed that he's incredibly social and incredibly good at competitions. He also went on to say that he believes he has a strong hold on these newbies. All of these are red flags for me because I strongly believe that we are TRYING to play the same game. I might have to start a #Trentexposedparty in the future? He also said he's good with Anabel and Kenny. So if this ever turns into a Vets .vs. Noobs situation... yikes. I think I'm good? I HOPE. I think keeping Trent in the loop for now is incredibly beneficial. I just pray he's not as open as he is with everyone else like he is with me. I'm going to try and keep him on a tight leash for now.. SPEAKING OF KILLING PEOPLE (I forgot to address this so #yolo) People want to murder Rob. I'm SO SO SO HAPPY ABOUT THIS BECAUSE........... I KNOW ROB. Rob is 1 of 2 newbies who I know. Rob also likes to MURDER ME in games. He's slimy, he plays both sides, and he is also a player who KNOWS my game. I can't have that going forward. I need a clean slate. I need people to focus on me flopping my first season and not my prior games which I ACTUALLY HAVE WON (surprising I know... I win thing sometimes). SO let's murder Rob? PLEASE. Who knew I actually would be taking out an ACTUAL TARGET THIS ROUND OF MINE? NOT ME. NOT ME.

OLIVIA

IM AN INFILTRATOR BABY LEMME SPY ON YO ASS

OLIVIA

Being an infiltrator has been interesting. Really just miss my tribe tho :/ hope the feeling is mutual. Piss poor night irl and wish I’d not volunteered to go tbh. Whatever tho, we’ll go back to normal tomorrow and I’ll keep forgetting to search for the idol

LORELEI

Today's the day of the tribal. From what I've heard, there's a consensus on rob. But I like rob even tho we haven't talked much. He told me he wouldn't vote me out, I didn't know how to answer that so I said I wouldn't vote him out either. Voting ppl out sucks 😭. Now I cant vote rob because that would make me a liar, I'm thinking of voting myself but I know that would put a target on me and the others would know that it was I who voted myself. I don't know what to do. On a lighter note, there was a tribe call yesterday evening, and it was really fun! It was so nice to talk to everyone and hear their voices.

FOXX

I am almost positive the Idol has been found and that is...um, what’s the word? Bad. Frankly I don’t think having an Idol is a huge benefit besides information and peace of mind but the fact we might have an issue with it where we have to counter with split votes and stuff is going to be a headache. As much as I like my tribe and how similar are interests are winning a lot does sort of create this no-stakes game where you just small talk to the same people every 2-3 days. I’m gonna miss it when the game gets intense but rn I’m on edge. Though I’m always down to sling some dice and I made a half-joke that our tribe should play some D&D and hooooly shit would that be amazing if it happened

LORELEI

a part of me wishes that there was some drama / beef between players because that would make it much easier to vote people out. There's a consensus to vote rob and the reasoning behind that is that he hasn't talked much in the chat, nor has he talked much to players. To me, that's sort of an iffy to vote someone out but then again, if not Rob, then who? Voting Evan was a bit more obvious of a choice, even though it was as hard (for me at least), but I didn't even think of Rob as an option to vote out until someone in my alliance brought his name up. I'm in an alliance with trent, chris, anabel and leigh. Even though we're the majority, I have a feeling I'm in the bottom of my alliance so I don't want to rock the boat for now.

OWEN

round 2. Still bored af with my tribe but still absolutely popped off to help keep us safe :’))))) we snatched the challenge..... loves it. Getting back from the other tribe was scary bc I had literally no info to give. That tribe didn’t give me any dynamics. But I did find out that jess and foxx wanted to pull in chris olivia and someone else (michael maybe?) for a five person alliance. Like wtfffff!?!?!? Why would chris and jess not work to include me in a five with foxx? Fuck that. So I went to jess and acted like I didn’t know and I brought up the idea of a five person alliance to her of her me foxx chris and olivia lmao and told her I’d talk to foxx a lil more. Then I tried to talk to foxx but it didn’t go so well I just have a hard time thinking what to say to him..,, So honestly idk. The good thing is I feel okay socially with isaac and matt, Julian and chris have our group and I like olivia and jess. Foxx and michael are my only real disconnects and I have the feeling the others might go for Julian if we lose..... which would be sad but not the worst thing in the world. I’m not in control yet but just u wait xoxoxo

Watch me get third boot lmao

JULIAN

I kinda fucked up at last tribal and made a few comments about this tribe... I've been doing damage control this round and I think things are ok now???

ROB

I've told Dylan and Jess/Olivia to vote Kenny. I sure hope this works.

I do not wanna leave. I am terrified like no other. We bouta head to tribal. Wish me luck

TRENT

Another night another loss. My fantastic tribe lost another immunity challenge. I feel like this is going to be a trend. Everybody is sooo quiet. Jess and olivia came  over to our tribe after we loss and i bonded with them a little bit. Hopefully im making decent friends with the returnees, enough I can use that to keep me in if a swap happens. Hopefully since they haven't lost they are all itching to play the game and i can help spark that and get them to turn on themselves. Tonight's vote SHOULD be 8-1 for rob is everyone is being trust worthy. my alliance of 5 (me, anabel, leigh, chris, and lorelei) is still going strong. Not sure I 100% trust chris because I think he's being friendly with everyone. But luckily I am too. Pretty good relationship with with Dylan and pretty good with Kenny while he's a little quieter. Hopefully I'm in a decent spot after tonight. We will see

DYLAN

After taking an asshole pounding from the last round, it became obvious that I needed to make sure I was good with everyone on my tribe. This means telling 4 different people (Chris, Anabel,Rob and Kenny) I trust them the most. I like trent a lot but I can tell hes going to be a social and physical threat down the road compared to the other people on this rookies tribe. I was stuck on cubefield at 501k for a few hours then got a funny feeling that if I didnt score higher if lose my matchup and my intuitive ass was correct in predicting I would have lost by 1k points. Even though I won my minigame, our tribe still took an asspounding. Robs name was thrown out almost immediately by just about everyone, so I tried to hint that he may be the target but he didn't get it I guess. so the most difficult part of this round was figuring out what to tell rob for a vote. After an astonishing 15 fucking hours, he finally told me hed be down to do Kenny. Cool vote Kenny. I do feel bad though, so im going to throw my vote on trent as I feel he is least likely to be targeted on my tribe at the moment, and it could potentially spice things up!

following the first round, i feel like i was able to get in a decent spot where i wouldn’t be targeted first.  i feel like i’m pretty active, and i’m trying to do my best and conversation with people.  i think i wanna tru and solidify SOMETHING with someone because its these early alliances and bonds that tend to run deep into the game with.  However one thing i’m never good at is determining when to initiate game talk.  like i wanna ask about their thoughts on other people and who they think we could work with, but my fear is starting that talk and then being viewed as paranoid and a gamer.  And this early on i really don’t wanna have to deal with that.   i think this round i felt a lot more laid back and not as active conversation wise.  with classes starting up i need to be on my A-Game from here on out.  i think if we lose next challenge, i should be fine.  people have talked about how issac just doesn’t seem to be here and julian is often gone/is crazy.  so those should be two easy boots, but you can never be certain in this game.   the damn torches are confusing as heck and idk what correlation they have on the game.  the idol search is fun being an easy grid but not fun bc i can’t find anything or forget to search.

[ts-indonesia]

Episode 1 - "Time to put on a bra and take some selfies." - Leigh

Episode 1 saw eighteen players, some fresh faces, and some veterans arrive on the Indonesia beaches, ready to play and ready to win. On a somewhat quiet Obor tribe, Leigh/Trent bonded over the age difference on the tribe (with a cunning plan reliant on using the word ‘lit’) and Anabel/Trent begun to form a bond that would survive the test of time.

On the Cahaya tribe, Matt/Jess feared the casting of one another, and Julian arrived plucky and ready to avoid another prejury experience, determined to improve. Owen/Stoner quickly formed HOS 22: Bermuda, and set to work spreading their connections across the tribe, forming at trio with Julian.

After a decisive victory in the Scavenger Hunt, it was revealed the returnees would have to send two returnees to the other tribe as “infiltrators” casting a sole vote. In an attempt to force the result, Julian went “offline”, in an attempt seen-through by his fellow tribe mates, but one that was ultimately successful, with Owen & Julian sent over as infiltrators.

At Obor’s tribal council, Evan quickly emerged as an easy vote, for his minimal challenge contribution. Two key alliances formed, a newbie majority alliance of Trent/Chris O/Leigh/Anabel/Lorelei and a girls’ alliance of Lorelei/Anabel/Leigh, with Anabel armed with an idol to boot.

As expected, Evan was sent out unanimously, but not before Julian trashed on the Cahaya tribe during tribal council... in a tribal seen... by the Cahaya tribe. With Evan out, the torches still inspiring such hate, and the infiltrators returning... that drew round one to a close.

MATT

first confessional give me idol? 

also hi Jones

OWEN

okay so im walking onto the boat.... my hair is thinning, my skin is getting wrinkly, im ancient at this point. nonetheless im back for like the sixth time. or seventh, honestly who can keep track anymore. i see these like cute little new people. ANABEL's vid is AMAZING gay icon, lorelei legend likes pokemon mystery dungeon,  Leigh is near chicago, like... i literally love all these new players but then i realize NONE OF THEM WILL BE ON MY TRIBE SKADSFJH. instead? im stuck with crazy ppl. there's julian who i voted out premerge in the season I won, and Matt who was in my most recent season nnn but NOT the matt I worked with in that game. and of all people CHRIS STONER LMAO. to be fair, chris isn't that bad bc I know he'll work with me hopefully but also I know he's a good player and wouldn't hesitate to cut me out. thank god olivia and jess are here tbh. omg and just when I thought it couldn't get any worse.....a furry shows up. WHAT THE FUCKKKKKK lmao I remember foxx back from the old old days and he seems scary :(((( good news is julian said him and isaac haven't ever gotten along and that isaac has voted him out twice :') so that might be good. and i'm fairly sure stoner and jess would have my back rn i just need to talk more to them. but for real, as soon as there's a swap or something if I survive that long? bye bye returnees :) i dont see myself getting very attached to anyone at the start so ill just do my best to ride out this beginning and maybe have some fun

LEIGH

I'm looking forward to seeing how long our tribe chat is just "Hey *Tribe Member's Name*!" 

I think it could go on a while.

OWEN

chris: ditching u for the other stoner tho chris: tumblr needs an all stoner f2... 7:23 PM me: thats ok im ditching u for the gay girl from the first post me: but for now? u and me <3 7:23 PM chris: deal stoner and I rlly did speak this into existence....... it'll happen

LEIGH

So this tribe has literal children on it. 15, 16 years old. I might have to backstab ACTUAL CHILDREN!  How do I even fit in with them? Trent suggested we could buy fidget spinners.  I said maybe yoga pants and a crop top?  There are people here BORN AFTER 9/11!!!  What the fuck I didn't even know you could be born after 9/11 and be out of kindergarten. What year is it?

EVAN

Just met some other castaways, they seem pretty chill.

FOXX

What's up. So this fox has returned after an eternity of a hiatus with more grey in his muzzle and hopefully some self-awareness to go with it. I played some pretty solid games in the past but after taking a long time lurking and sort of forgetting Tumblr Survivor Crooks asked if I wanted to play despite not knowing I have played before. That's how old and irrelevant of a has-been I am. Back from the dead. I'm glad my star has faded and I can go in with a blank slate. My biggest concern is that I am not on my anxiety medication so my social interactions, especially on call, will be a lot more stilted and I'm terrified this will impair my judgment but we'll see. Right now I'm not trying to come off as a huge strategist. I made an intentionally crappy intro video, made fun of myself, and just tried to be funny without coming off too weird/desperate etc. Almost like I'm not taking this too seriously. However, already I'm noticing a patterns in how people on my tribe are. I have no fucking clue who these mammals are. People will have extensive conversations about people, twists, running jokes, etc and I'm totally lost. That hiatus really did fuck with my ability to ingratiate myself with this community. That will be a huuuuge advantage coming to dealing with the newbies since I can leverage that to not seem so threatening but right now I think I'm doing a fair job being friendly and making people laugh. I hope. God. So my thoughts on my tribemates thus far: Stoner: Vaguely know who this guy is. Aptly named. He's clearly blazed as hell but I can tell he's bright and likable. Says "oh shit" a lot and he seems like depsite his facade he's probably someone I can work with. Isaac: We talked about Overwatch a bit and he seems nice but he's not coming on my radar too strong. Jess: Definitely made a fairly strong impression on me since we're similar ages, Francophone, and we bonded over our mutual detest and hatred of furries and then I calmly sneak in the fact I am a furry an hour later and holy shit I was trying so hard to not bust into tears. She's funny and likable and seems like she's someone I could work with. Matt: Talked a bit about me coming back. Very little in group call. Michael: Talked a fair amount about D&D and made some fun Upside Down jokes. Seems like we have a lot in common but him being a different time zone could prove hard to keep up with. Being the outlier on Time Zones is playing on Hard Mode. Olivia: Love her! We bonded over animals and she seems like a total sweetheart and I definitely wanna share pics of my cat with her some more! Owen: We talked a bit about literature and it was fun. Definitely seems intelligent and he's someone I know a bit about from Olympics. In an ideal world I'd want to work with Stoner, Jess, Olivia, & Michael but everything in on fire. Also, no luck on the idol so fuck me I guess

JESS

So... first night has been interesting? I was going to do your typical "first impressions" confessional but... FOXXX or whatever the fury's name is.... is playing too hard too fast. Am I being a Paranoid Patty and reading this the WRONG WAY entirely? Possibly. HOWEVER... It's been less than 5 hours since we were thrown into this hell hole of a game (The hosts are lovely individuals but we all know this is about to get insane) and he's telling me if I want to make a move that he's my guy? Ummm.... WE HAVEN'T EVEN GOTTEN OUR FIRST IMMUNITY YET? I'M NOT THINKING MOVES RIGHT NOW? I BARELY CAN REMEMBER YOUR NAME!

OLIVIA

Have I befriended a furry???????? Is this real life????? Is he actually a furry or just really in deep on this joke? Why are there so many Dylans in orgs? Also fucking goddamnit I like EVERYONE HERE I just wanna be friends with all y’all damn. All of the newbies are so adorable and seem so excited and unknowing to the pain that’s gonna come :’) Annabelle especially like my wig flew with that intro! I wanna meet them all. Also wtf is with the torches I WANNA KNOW ALREADY! Anyways that’s all I’m excited for this season. Owen and I renewed the o alliance :-) and Jess seems cool as hell I really clicked with her and the furry. Michael seems sweet and I already know Julian from Mykonos, the absolute crackhead. Real sweetie tho hopefully we’re friends. I hope I’m not coming off as too insane I was so nervous on the phone call with the tribe :( it was so fun but I felt like every time I said something it fell flat I felt so awkward abhhhhhahshsjaj. Anyhoo yay! New season!

Should I write the rest of my confessionals in japanese? Neko. Boom

JESS

So coming into this game with a TS under my belt is different... I still have no expectations whatsoever BUT I do know how HARD people go for in these games and I'm planning to go just as hard. The first night was wild. Everyone on my tribe except for Matt and Julian were lively on the tribe call. Everyone seemed pretty cool and super... out there.. I think Isaac might be the one to watch on my tribe. He's been around the block and knows most people on my tribe (new and old). WHICH IS WHY.. I'm going to try my best and get super close to him. I need to make sure I'm not disposable to these "older players" and as asset to these "newer" players. I just know need to cool my jets on the whole socializing bit in the main chat (Yes I know it's literally day 1). I want to be as irrelevant as possible so no one thinks I'm a threat but no one really wants to get rid of me either. Gotta focus on those INDIVIDUAL RELATIONSHIPS. Hopefully these other players with more TS's under their belts become bigger shields than me because if not... yikes on yikes.

ROB

I like everyone so far. Evan is giving me a few red flags because he’s only giving me one word answers, so i might take that into consideration when voting.

FOXX

We had a very fun group call with the tribe last night. Definitely haven’t laughed that much in a while. Love my tribe thus far so I hope we can keep the good vibes going. Jess & Stoner are people I feel like have talked with me the most Nd Olivia, Owen, & Michael are also friendly so I think I have options. One thing I’ve noticed is how casual and sociable this tribe is. Nothing is more frustrating than a tribe full of overserious gamebots (*cough* Selwyn *cough*) but it’s a group of funny and chill people. It’s gonna be a great game!

OLIVIA

I love these hosts 🙂 HATE the idol system but honestly it doesn’t change much I’ve never gotten an idol before and probably never will so it won’t change my gameplay lmao

I like Isaac a lot too! Forgot to say. But I’m also a little wary of him because I know he’s very experienced

ANABEL

well. yesterday i found an idol on my second guess. and made two new friends. so yesterday was great. today was bad. i outed myself. my mom heard me tell my eyebrow lady that i was gay. this is a sad confessional and i wish i wasn’t so loud. im real fucking sad. sorry. but at least i have an idol and some friends.

LEIGH

Time to put on a bra and take some selfies.

I'm glad I shaved today for that tattoo selfie.

OLIVIA

There’s an alliance I’m not in isn’t there

Why am I so FUCKING awkward

ANABEL

im so fucking good at survivor like... good lord. trent and i are like best friends already (see, i knew this would happen, i always meet a nice old usually straight man and we become friends, it's like the hallmark of my survivor experiences) and we came up w a plan where i am gonna try and seduce evan and rob and make them my lil minions so im gonna lie to them and tell them that im a cheerleader bc that's hot right?? so ya my womanly charms will be utilized to their fullest potential. go me.

MICHAEL

LEIGH

Can we talk about how bullshit it is to have "Lipstick in your tribe's color" when we're yellow and they're RED?  Honest to god might as well have "Lemon in your tribe's color" to make it fair.

Alex coming in with bold capslock "MAKE SURE EVERYONE ON YOUR TEAM HAS SUBMITTED AT LEAST ONE THING" ... Just DM Evan directly my dude.

OLIVIA

Feeling much better about this game today than I was last night I think I was just spiraling 🥰 we’re doing really well on the challenge and I hope we win!! Two people messaged me saying I’m doing great on the challenge and idk how to respond. Just tryna make sure we don’t lose I will NOT be the first vote out. Newbies go hard on scavenger hunts but I go even harder 😈

LORELEI

Ok so! I'm super bummed that obor lost the challenge, I really thought we would win! Now we have to get rid of someone and it sucks but I feel like we all know who it has to be. It's not even personal, it's just the fairest thing and the best thing for our tribe. Also, alliances are forming! I like Anabel, Leigh and Trent so I'm with them but I'm gonna try to connect with everyone so I'm not on the outskirts. I hope that the boys haven't formed an all boys alliance bc if they have, then the girls could be in danger. That's it for now!

STONER

guess I’ll follow Alex crook’s rules... https://youtu.be/ndsfCdjtcQI

Not much, about to sleep! https://youtu.be/v12a2AbklVw

JESS

It's 2:30am so WHY NOT post ANOTHER confessional? Am I right? Honestly, we won which I'm BEYOND THANKFUL for. I hate tribal and I can now at least say I wasn't first boot. THANK GAGA. I'm just really trying to solidify things with Michael right now. I think out of everyone on my current tribe I can honestly see myself making a run at this game with him (at least up until merge). I offered him the prospect of sharing idol clues (it's literally the only collateral I have at the moment) so hopefully this doesn't bite me in the fucking ass. Other than Michael I was kind of hoping to somehow get closer to both Julian and Matt (plot twist I know). Matt has hosted me before and it's no secret he is a founding father of the "I Hate Jess" Club. However, these two seem to be the odd men out right now. They aren't overly socializing with people so there's a high chance they'll be taken out if our current tribe loses. HOWEVER.. I see potential numbers in them. So I can't let that happen. As of right now both Foxx and Stoner seem to be the ones to watch out for. I just can't let them think or know... that I know that about them. Stoner gives me mega "I say the same things to everyone" vibes. He's clearly playing a strong social game so far. I just need to play dumb and ensure that he thinks he can control/trust me. Honestly, as soon as he doesn't see value in me I have no doubt he's gonna cut me. Foxx on the other hand, just seems like he's playing too hard. He's another guy who I strongly believe is going to drop me as soon as I have no value to him. I'm just going to have to have to lay low and be dumb. Owen scares me shitless. He's giving me PTSD from my last season because homeboy is playing a strong contender game. He's definitely a pick to win. He's another person who I'm going to have to try and pretend I'm under their spell. Am I playing too hard too fast? I'm not entirely sure. I'm just going to slow my role a bit and see what happens

MATT

What’s Up? WHAT’S UP?!?!?!?  how dare you ask me such a ludicrous question.  Alright so first real general confessional of the game here.  I wanna eventually try and record some video confessionals, but that’s if i have the time. but for today, we’re good with a text.   So starting off the game on the Cahaya Tribe, which consists of entirely returnees.  So right off the bat it makes nervous bc i’m really not around much in the community.  Yeah i’m in a few VL’s and i played once before, but i really don’t know anyone.  So being the odd one out for that reason was a real fear for a little bit. Looking at my tribe, there are a few names that stood out the most to me.  Owen stood out bc we both played Kuwait, and even tho we never met each other, we still have that little connection.  Chris motherfucking Stoner is here too!!  Chris is such a chill dude.  we played together once before and i voted him out pre swap.  But that game was so long ago, and i really don’t think he cares (i know i dont).  So i’m looking forward to reconnecting with him.  Jess is also here!! Jess and I had met previously because i hosted her in Celestial Komnata, and we had some rough misunderstandings there.  But months have passed and I know that I am well over it bc i frankly don’t care.  But i feel like she still probably cares which will not be good for me. Michael was the last person that stood out to me.  Not because I know him, or know of him.  But because he’s the only Non-North American in the cast, which means if i can stay up late and socialize with him, he might favor me over other When i looked at the other tribe, i think the only person i know is Anabel?  We played together once, i hosted her, so we have somewhat of a connection that if we swap together, i hope that works in my favor.   So on the first night of the game, i was very busy with Celestial All stars premiere, so i didn’t get to talk as much as i would’ve liked.  which resulted in me telling jones on call like 5 times that i’m gonna be first boot.  But the first night, i talked with everyone (to some degree) except Issac bc i forgot Issac was here.   The torch twist thing i have no idea what it’s going to be and it worries me.  My first thought is that it somehow would result in a third tribe bc there were six torches.  so someone would light a torch and be placed on that tribe. But it’s too early to figure out what they even mean and i’m sure as the game progresses.  

LEIGH

Woooo so what's happened.  Well, we lost the challenge and it wasn't even close. I haven't looked at the spreadsheet to see the final scores but I feel like Me, Trent, and Anabell did the most work.  I talked to a few people last night and put Evan's name out there cuz I know most people are too scared to say a name first and I feel comfortable enough about my position to be the one to say a name that most people should agree with. A mutual alliance formed between me, Chris, Trent, Anabell, and Lorelei.  Within it, an all girls 3 alliance formed which I'm super happy to be part of.  I'm sure Trent will be paranoid about that sooner or later so hopefully Chris and I can make him feel confident.  Trent is sharing idol guesses with me so I'm hoping that means I'm like the closest person to him right now.  I like the number of options I have so far. 

I feel like Facebook might be falling out of style so maybe these youngin's don't even have it or aren't familiar with Facebook ORGs.  The only other people here who know my history as far as I know are Foxx and Chris, and I hope neither of them bring it up. If I can stay UTR that'd be nice.  Also, I think I need to stop capitalizing letters/using punctuation if I wanna fit in with these kids.  Did I already confessionalize that? Not sure.

Apparently Lorelei missed the HII thing day one haha oh well. I'm compiling guesses from me, Chris, and Trent. Hopefully I'll get them from the girls too. I'm not showing the girls' guesses to Chris though. I don't think he'll be mad at me for it. We gotta play close to the vest sometimes yo

TRENT

So far I think the game is going alright. My tribe is incredibly quiet for some reason but I guess that isn't too bad. I made a connection with Anabel and Leigh pretty early on. Decided to suggestion and alliance and both we in so I added Chris and Lorelei so we had a majority. This is the alliance I wanted from the beginning. I wanted the older people to stick together and then add in one young one. I think it's a pretty solid idea. Ive been messaging both kenny and dylan as well. I don't want an alliance with them, but I would like for them to like me and want me to stay in. I also think im getting along pretty well with the two infiltrators right now. Julian was spilling all kinds of info about his tribe to me this morning and then me and owen connected really well. Hopefully this will help me in the future if there is a split soon.

OLIVIA

Jess was hinting that her, foxx, stoner, and I should get together and I said we’d make a nifty cool group. A NIFTY COOL GROUP WHAT THE FUCK IS A NIFTY COOL OLIVIA

ISAAC

This twist can become SO detrimental. And I’m so MAD Owen went over there first because that bitch is unbelievably charismatic. Hopefully it paints a bigger target on him but like it’s whatever. I like my tribe. We seem chill and I seem to vibe the most with Olivia and Jessica Messica. Foxx is cool. Julian is....Julian ig. Matt has yet to talk to me so that’s a wig ig. Michael seems nice but ngl I get kinda bored when I try to talk to him? He seems very gamebot-y which could be frightening but idk he’s not my biggest problem atm. I’m terrified of Owen - he’s unbelievably charismatic and has the ability to twist people around his finger so like I’m gonna keep my eye on him and I’m not gonna let him out of my sight. With that being said I do wanna see him live for at least a little while for meat-shield purposes. Anyways I hope I do well this game but 👀 I have a sinking feeling.

KENNY

So yeah.. it seemed like a pretty laxxed day and Evan was the vote. How true is that? Idk but I have to trust strangers. But just heard he through my name out like 20 minutes ago, with less than 3 hours to go. So I just hope everyone’s being honest 😭

OWEN

what’s up? Everything :’) I couldn’t help as much in the scav hunt as I liked because I was living my life. But thankfully we won anyways bc my tribe kicked ass! I still contributed some and I made sure to keep talking to people. I still love olivia, and matt has been fun to talk to. Don’t rlly know why but foxx seems hard to get to know. And not big into michael rn either. I think I will stick with Julian and chris, hopefully can pull in jess and olivia to do something if we lose. Chris mentioned that both him and jess DO like foxx so we will see.... The main thing is that this twist worked out perfectly for me!!!! I couldn’t call when we were decided and I REALLY wanted to go. Thankfully I was able to take advantage of the majority vote thing and pretend like I wasn’t online hehe and by some miracle I got picked to go. MEANT TO BEEE and let me say I was right, I do love this tribe so much more than my own for some reason. Trent is great, Annabel and I are talking like I wanted, the Chicago girl and the Pokémon mystery dungeon girl. It’s so good over here, but the biggest surprise has been chris o. I really like him and could see myself working well with him if we swap. The only thing is that Julian said he was sketchy sometimes..... hehe so down the road I might have to tell chris o that Julian is after him :~) but I don’t need to snake too hard yet, for right now I’m a crocodile lookin like a log. Vote should be easy on Evan from what I’ve heard but if it changes? I’ll be living for the drama!

LORELEI

It looks like Evan is the consensus. I feel really bad though because it's not his fault. He tried to plead his case with me by saying that he wasn't the only one that was inactive, but that doesn't change the fact that he contributed the least. I know it's the fair thing to do but I feel bad about it. Voting out people is so not fun, I really hope we win the next challenge so I won't have to do this again.

EVAN

I’m pretty sure I’m fucked. I’ve been trying to get people to vote Kenny but idk fuck

KENNY

“I know I’M voting Evan = I might be voting Evan but I know others are voting you”. Or am I being paranoid

MATT

i feel like i did pretty good on the scavenger hunt.  i managed to scoop up a bunch of items that were left over and some that were high points.  so i do feel good about my performance and think i pulled my weight.  Speaking of pulling weight...Julian is...there.  I think he only submitted one item which was the Vine.  I mean i get you have work and are busy, but like...most of us were the same?  even issac who was celebrating his birthday did more.   after challenge results we got on call in the tribe chat (olivia, chris, michael, myself). and we were talking about the infiltrator twist and the challenge results.  We agreed to have myself and Olivia go, but we needed 5 for a majority.  Julian shows up and says he “might wanna go tbh”.  and then disappears.  We’re on call laughing bc we wanna submit this and not randomize it, so someone who isn’t here gets forced to go.  BUT JULIAN won’t talk in tribechat even tho we’re all like, “hey we’ll take turns and you can go next time.”. but no.  Julian is only talking in olivia’s pm’s and she’s telling us whatever he’s saying. eventually the hour is up, and julian got randomized to go.  that fucker strong armed us into randomizing and he still went god damnit.   I think that call was good for my game because we were just chatting for like 1.5 hours about the game stuff and people.  After michael/chris left the call it was just Olivia and myself on call and we stayed on for another hour and a half(????? ish??? probably less i can’t remember).  But that was a nice call and i think helped start to solidify a bond.  Olivia is someone i can see myself working with in this game.  Same goes for Michael and Chris.  I feel like that call group was pretty natural and we got along really well.  I’m too nervous to initiate any kind of alliance talk, but i know it’s gonna have to happen eventually.  i’m sure alliances already exist on the tribe and i’m obviously not in them.  I think for starters, i need to work on conversations a bit more, because they are somewhat weak right now.  My goal for the future is to work on olivia, michael, chris and owen.  Those are the people i feel most good about.  Foxx is cool but idk it seems hard to gel with them.  Julian is cracked and i hope he’s our first boot.  and the four of us on call forgot issac was on the tribe so that’s not good for him. i think i’m in a decent position for now, but i’m not gonna count my chickens before they hatch (i think that’s the saying idfk)

Rites of Passage (Prejury)

Here is what the final four had to say about those who didn’t make it to jury

Evan: I never got to meet you! Wish I could 

Rob: you seemed like SUCH a sweetie but I didn’t really have a choice in voting you out as an infiltrator, just had to go with the flow sorry!

Julian: KIIIIING! Your strategy came from Mars but it was so great to see you again. Sorry we had to cut ties buddy. 

Kenny: Kenny I so enjoyed talking with you on the phone on the Obor first tribe call that was so cute :-) I wasn’t part of your vote out so I didn’t really get to say bye but you were such a nice guy! 

Dylan: ah my dude I’m so sorry. You were a necessary vote to solidify my working relationship with Trent and Anabel, but it sucks you had to go. I still have that music video footage.. and I’m not sure what to do with it. Jolly rancher king!

Foxx: your vote shook me to my CORE!!! It literally set the entire rest of the game into motion. Every single person that left after that until Michael was someone who was at that tribal. I told my confessionals I’d avenger the furry and goddamnit we DID! I was so sad to not continue playing the game with you. I really trusted and loved you and that was the only vote this entire game I never saw coming. I hope you feel loved and avenged. Can’t wait to talk to you again!

Evan: I tried to get a connection with you early on in the game, you just happened to have a very busy weekend when the game started. Just bad timing. Hated that you were inactive and not able to compete. Thought you were going to go decently far in this game.

Rob: Quiet man. I'm not sure if it was just our age difference or what but there was just no connection. I think everyone on the tribe said you barely talked with them as well. I'm sure you are a great kid and a great player so I wish you luck in future games you play

Julian: Talked to you a little bit when you were the infiltrator, but never got to be on a tribe with you.  Don't really know much about you but im sure you are fun to play with.

Kenny: Really enjoyed talking football with you in the early days of the season. I still laugh when I think about you slamming that egg on your head and basically giving yourself a concussion. You went hard for these challenges and gave it your all in everything. Hate we never got to meet back up

Dylan: My man. I really enjoyed being on a tribe with you. You were hilarious and great to talk to. I hated the way things went down at the end. I hope you are still enjoyed those jones sodas and jolly ranchers. Just always remember- Bon Appetite Bey Bey

Foxx: Didn't get to talk to you too much, only for about 24 hours during one world. You seem like a great guy though and I felt like we had a good connection and I was looking forward to talking you some more in the future.

Foxx: Oh man. Your departure was a MAJOR hit to my game. You going tore me the fuck up. I think you were probably the vet who I felt closest to pre-merge and you were truly just an awesome human being. I know if you lasted long in the game you would have used your smarts to kill us all but I love you anyways.

Dylan: KING OF JOLLY RANCHERS! I’m sorry we weren’t able to cash in a win to keep you safe. 

Kenny: Kennnnnnnnnny. Honestly, when I saw you in the cast for this game I was super excited. You were a familiar face. If you could have just survived that vote I think we could have been a force in the game.

Julian: Ugh. L-E-G-E-N-D. I’m really sorry I couldn’t keep my word to you and get you us both to the merge. At that point you had already burnt too many bridges and there was no way I could save you :( I’m really sorry.

Rob: DRACO!!! Honestly, I'm really sad you didn’t truly get to experience this game. However, you are someone who I have had a bit of a rivalry with in the past so I'm kind of glad you didn’t (jkjk). <3

Evan: BRO?

Fan Fave/POTS Reveal!

We’ll start with player of the season,, or rather, our runner up!

.

.

.

.

.

.

Matt!! You may have not have had the best start, but after nearly being voted out, you were able to improve your position and put yourself in such a good spot! If that Final 7 vote didn’t play out the way it did, we’re sure you would’ve found yourself in FTC - hell, we still don’t think you did anything wrong that round. None the less, you exceeded our expectations and we all PROUDLY wear our Matt warrior shirts.

and with that, our player of the season is,,

.

.

.

.

.

.

OLIVIA!! You impressed the hell out of us going into this season. Sure, you may have had your ups and downs, but that never held you back. You had one of the strongest social games we’ve seen, being able to secure yourself with everybody until at least final 5, and were a key cause in many of the big moves that went down this season, and you were able to gracefully bounce back from any of the drama post votes. There’s no doubt that if you made it to the end, you certainly would’ve taken the crown, and you should be incredibly proud of yourself <3

Now to announce our fan favorite,,,s?

For this season, we thought it would right to have a fan favorite newbie and a fan favorite returnee,

With that being said, Indonesia’s favorite newbie is,,,

.

.

.

.

.

ANABEL!! Ever since you were introduced, the VL was rooting for you from being end, and they loved every bit of you.

And congratulations to Trent for runner up!

Now for our fan favorite returnee,,,

.

.

.

.

.

Isaac!! This honestly comes as no surprise to any of us, everyone felt for you this entire season, and just supported you and wanted the best for you.

And congratulations to Jess and Chris S. for tying for runner up!

Congratulations to everyone on an amazing season!! Everyone should be so proud of themselves, and the hosts had such a blast this season, and we’re so happy to have hosted you all <3 <3 <3
