The Unbelievable Has Happened/Confessionals

Day 23
"qahtan"

- I've made jury - this means there's no fucking excuses. Without risk there is no reward, so from now on I'm voting for people that I know will be bad for my game.

"shehr"

- CHARLEY IS GONE :(! This was someone I really thought I could work with and I don't know, I mean she lied to me, but I always had a really good feeling? She was like the SOLE old-school member that I think would even consider working with me in an authentic way.

"qahtan"

- so my tribe won while I was sleeping and I got a faster time then those other 2 people :) Cali wasn't sure if she could do it & playing word searches on my phone apparently paid off! :D anyways Bariq lost again & Charley is out and on the jury ;-; but I think Yap is gonna flip to the middle schoolers but I'm starting to think that maybe he was never on their side in the first place. Maybe Yap really was innocent and he just got caught up in the rumors of that Endure premade? I have no clue but we are gonna need his vote, so I'm gonna talk to him and sway from the other side :o we have a Skype call tonight & also we have a challenge & the 2 highest average scores are safe. Hopefully Qahtan can pull out any win :D

"bariq"

- Bariq is offically the worst tribe in the ORG history, going 22 days without winning a challenge. But the most tragic thing about Bariq is that the hosts are refusing to get rid of it. We switched and thought we changed our luck, then you gave us the terrible joint tribal twist to make sure middle and new school will rely on their original tribes and gang up on us, then you switch us to "two tribes" giving us false hope once again, just to keep Bariq as a "leftovers tribe", which consists of, surprisingly... the very same people that originally came from it! -_- we are down to two people, but you guys have no mercy on us! you are not going to merge us, and not even dissolve us to the other tribes. you will not leave us alone until me and Mihai have to compete in a firemaking challenge. I'm not even sure how will that work considering I have the idol. If I play it, Mihai will be the second person I send home in a default elimination. Is that what you're waiting for?

"bariq"

- Charley is gone, and she is a juror. fuck my life. My chances of getting her vote if I ever make it to the end are pretty much like the chances of Bariq to win the next challenge, which is going to be its last. Losing Mihai means I go into the merge with no allies at all, so I have to do everything to prevent this scenario. Beating these people in challenges is apearantly not possible (unless it's based on pure luck), so all i'm left with is negotiating. Once again I'm sending Mihai to do the talking, but I'm taking the heat on myself. Mihai is going to tell the new schools that if they won't throw the challenge and vote Yap out, I'm going with the middle schools if we merge at 11, and considering Mihai's challenge performances it's likely that I'll beat him in a firemaking challenge. This is not the greatest idea, but that's all I can do. Yap is causing a huge problem to my game because I have no idea who this idiot is aligned with, new or middle school. I'll put my money on the new school because of his relationship with Ricky and what was going on in the schoolyard pick. Maybe these rumours about a tumblr/Endure premade were correct? Even if not, the new school will have to decide who they want to play this game with - me (and possibly Mihai if he makes it) or Yap. They cannot plan on both of us, because Yap is my first target at the merge.

"qahtan"

- I'm thinking that there's some secret cross-tribal alliance and you kno what??? I'm so not here for it. I could probably put all the puzzle pieces together but there's so much scenarios. Kevin keeps on saying Yap is an annoying floater and that could be a cover he got the least money, Tyler has never showed his true loyalty, Sam got all the money in that one challenge so probably not??, Yap possibly b/c apparently he wants to flip?? (doubt it Sam is way too trusting once we merge he's sticking w/ Shehr b/c even tho he'd be out pre-merge on a tribe with all of them he wouldn't be in the merge b/c it's a way different scenario, Cali hasn't shown her true loyalty either, and probably both old-schoolers are in it maybe or not... I'm kind of off and on about that. My reasoning for picking Sam and not Cali is because had I been on that tribe without her, I would've been the #1 target because of that money challenge. Perhaps me being an idiot and not understanding to do that money challenge is a blessing and not a curse because it shows everyone elses true loyalties... I'm going to ask Sam if she thinks we should still go with Shehr+Yap and see her reaction, I think that the Yap possibly flipping thing is probably something to keep me busy and think that's the main thing that's happening.. I'm going to work on getting Amir's loyalty and see where that gets me

"qahtan"

- Holy shit, jury bitches lol. I'm one step closer to the finals. If I can make it there, I will be the first person to be premerge, merge and finals. Let's hope I can take out at least 9 others

Day 24
"bariq"

- The unbelievable has happened, after 23 days Bariq finally won a fucking challenge! and it was all thanks to amazing teamwork by me and Mihai. Just a few minutes before the deadline we were still about to lose, but we both got huge improvements to our scores by motivating and giving tips to each other. Either this, or Charley was simply the jinx of the tribe this whole time xD This victory is important for many reasons, but mainly because there's a chance we actually merge now and Mihai will make it there. But I'm also very interested to finally watch the middle school chopping one of their heads off. Everything is possible but considering the schoolyard pick and my general knowledge of these people, Cali is going home. This is also good because she's basically useless. Nobody knows who she is or why she was casted for this season, she's a waste of spot and nobody will be sad about this, except for me when I'll be begging for her jury vote which I'll never get. me and Mihai are pretty much screwed with this jury anyway, so I'm not giving it too much thought. I'm more concerned about Ricky and Yap and the fact this duo is so tight they are going to cause a lot of trouble at the merge. Ricky is insanely good at challenges and is likely to have the idol, while Yap is a floater. These two and Sam must go, yesterday.

"qahtan"

- this is not where my story ends i'm going to flip this vote i'm literally freaking out

"bariq"

- I just told sam that people think she has the idol because I want her to feel unsecure and use it if she has it. If she has it and doesnt use and gets votes, at least I warned her, so that's good jury management. I would like for her to go because she is extremely good in challenges, but in a way I would like that she says because we talked a lot in this game, more than with any other midschooler. I think cali goes, but I would love a blindside or an idol play from sam.

"shehr"

- Ding Dong the curse is gone. BARIQ ACTUALLY WON AN IMMUNITY CHALLENGE?!?! So because I had just talked with Sam and Ridgeway, I got added to a skype call with them and they ask me on my opinion on who the vote should be. I guess the talk I had with them worked. I basically told them that they should just vote on who they think would stay loyal to a middle school strong type of thing. Very generic answer, very basic. Later I get added to a call with Molly and Ricky, and they're like probing me on who I think will go home. Hell if I know, I'm immune. But Molly just randomly adds Kevin to the call, and he says that he's getting a vote from Cali and that they're all voting Cali. In my head I'm like what? Umm.. this seems silly, especially after what I said to Sam and Ridgeway. And Kevin just seems so nonchalant about it, "yeah it might be me, but I"m sure it's not." In hindsight, I should have talked to Sam and Ridgeway. Oh well. Cali ends up going home, which was a hit to me. I made a final 2 deal with her, only because she was like loyal as hell and, well.. pretty easy to beat at the end. Oh well, gotta change it up now. The end of the round for me was when Sam came up to me asking if I could get on call. I told her I was too tired, and that I would talk to her tomorrow. Probably should have said yes.
