Make It Count/Confessionals

Day 4
"sheki"

- I prayed to the meme god Emma Lee and she gave me many angles to work with and discover in this game. I was on call with Nifty and Jake and both of them said us three are very good together. They weren't specific on who they wanted gone between the other two so I'll have to think. They said Rob's name more and I am deeply aligned with him, welp if its best for my game ill betray him and it will have to be before jury. Sorry bro. Then there is Thomas who I haven’t talked to much, I would rather prefer him to go. Also how the frick did Nick City already find that idol so quickly?! My alliance and I really want to target him if we are stuck with him on a tribe. He seems so shifty. We even called he'd go first but lo and behold.

"astara"

- Well Alex is gone, I'm happy that it wasn't one of the Atari 3, I really am curious if Nick will ever trust me again, I need him to and I won't lie to him anymore, but I was pretty crappy so I would completely understand if he doesn't wanna have anything to do with me, I feel if I'm with him in a tribe swap, I might as well be alone because I don't think he would trust me the second he doesn't have to.

"astara"

- Woooooow. Had no idea this season would start on such an emotional note. Alex and I have a story that reaches far beyond the sands of Azerbaijan. When it comes to Survivor, I go hard or go home. Alex, if you're reading this, I'm sorry you took it personal and blocked me. I hope you find your perfect dancer and I'll see you on real life Survivor one day.

"khizi"

- Final 19. 'Hooray'. This game is fun, but I just wish everyone talked a little bit more. It just feels like they dont care. Today reward challenge. We HAVE to win it because I need a new idol clue. Wow looks like I'm obsessed by this idol lmao but still, I need it. I neeeed it!!

"khizi"

- I've talked with Jake N, Hunter and Minke. Made deals if they win they give the clue to me and otherwise. Sounds pretty good in my ears tbh

"khizi"

- So, I'm just talking to Ella normal chat nothing game related but then she tells me about how in school she screamed really loud that there was a fire and ran out of class..and I'm just like oh yeah sure haha! Honestly I think she might be some sort of compulsive liar... lmao

"baku"

- Hats off to Nick, that guy made my day. If I ever get on the same tribe with him, I'll be going after him hard, solely because He seems to know what he's doing, unlike everyone else here.

"khizi"

- And when you think people are finally talking they're going offline. *sigh* This will be a loooooong day

"khizi"

- shit i knew alex and cliff voted for him but that leads to like questions about exactly how easy are these idols to find like did he get it by like randomly guessing? or did their returnee give him the clue? like the votes were 3-1-1 and 3-0 if Alex+Cliffy were actually working together, it would have at least been 2-1, unless if Cliffy knew he was doomed regardless that means their returnee and Austin are working down ""together"" not down but then if Cliffy+Alex and Austin+Minke were pairs, there's no way that the vote ends up 3-1-1 unless if somebody figured that he played his idol and threw their vote away

"khizi"

- Figured out Hannah and Jared are reaaaally close together. If we're heading to tribal council it could be a smart move to vote out Hannah. I'm so annoyed by her. Just to make sure I find the idol. Have to stay safe in this game.

"khizi"

- where was I, 3-1-1 being impossible? Yeah assuming that Nick would have voted for Alex based on his revote, that means that the vote for Austin would have had to been made by Cliffy/Alex trying to be pre-emptive and shit and they just gave up, so currently that’s my theory. Worst case is now Alex saying that I knew him pre-game because that can only fuck shit up considering that he was the first boot. If that becomes known, I feel like that could become a target on my back. Especially considering that Cliffy’s still the game and clearly Nick’s target. I feel like if a swap happens if the both of them end up on the same tribe it’ll be a competition between those two for the votes. Also convo recaps for today: Jared – nothing Jessica – literally “yay, I’m not the first boot” Hannah – solidly formed an alliance. Should be enough to survive. Ella– just some shit about school

"khizi"

- fuck that's like the stupidest thing i've ever done tbf that's also not the worst confessional to Ella. just have to reveal 1) Hannah alliance 2) I know Cliff Either/or a swap will come soon and save my ass hopefully? I feel like I just exposed myself to a little girl. If i tell this to hannah and send her the confessional, she'll trust me a bit more solidifying the alliance a bit more ella's playing hard which is a problem, but like at least she knows i've been telling the truth about not talking to Jessica/Jared i can spin this to a positive. i hopefully can. at the very least if I get voted out because of this, I can get a decent story out of it. or a #secondchances arc?

"sheki"

- So, Jake, Hunter, and I got in a Skype call earlier today and at first all 3 of us were just chatting about random stuff and Jake even went on to do a Pokemon rap (for no reason at all but it was still fun to watch lol.) Then, out the blue, Jake says, ""I haven't really been able to talk strategy with either of you two."" And this caught me by surprise, cause I figured Jake wouldn't dare talk strategy w/ Hunter. So we talked for a bit and I made it seem like I had never talked to Jake about strategy before, and we weighed Tom and Rob and who out of the two should go first. Obviously Jake and I are keeping Tom no matter what so it was really just to see Hunter's opinions on them. At the end of it all he didn't really give us much info to work off of, but it's what happened after Hunter left the call that's important. Jake told me for the second time that I'm pretty much his #1 ally in this game, and that's why he trusted telling me that he was starting to warm up to Hunter. And how he wants ME to make the decision of who goes home over Hunter and Rob if we end up going to tribal in this group of 5. I don't want to be in that position; I don't want to be the one that just decides whose game is executed this early into the game. Like, Jake, you're the alliance leader. You decide for yourself man, I don't want this blood on me. Of course I didn't tell him that, but it worries me that he's having second thoughts now and wants me to decide. For now I'll just roll with it, and hopefully we don't go to tribal for a while. But I did not like Jake basically putting me into this spot of playing God. I wanted him to do that, not me.

"khizi"

- I feel like I've really let my tribe down with the last challenge. That's why I'm doing this one

"khizi"

- I'm scared because I don't know anyone but Jaylen. & i hope Ella stays loyal to me.

"khizi"

- LOL. Joseph sent a confessional to me by accident. Telling me he has a solidly alliance with Hannah. Hannah is played a big game. I don't like that. My task is to get rid off her with my alliance. Jessica and Jared, I need you guys

"khizi"

- Talked with Joseph. He isn't targeting me but he is targeting Jared and Jessica. But Hannah ignores me. Hannah is so sneaky. She plays a double game.

"khizi"

- It's very stressful when your tribe mates are inactive. I don't want to lose

"khizi"

- So Hannah came to talk with me, talking about Jared and Jessica being inactive. Jared and Jessica knows about Hannah and joseph. This means it's 2 vs 2. And who's left? Queen Ella. I got this. *winks* I can do what I want right now. And if we lose this challenge idc because people are trying to give me the clue for HII. Love this!!

"sheki"

- King Tom is choosing to sit out of the challenge today because we need his might assets in the immunity challenge. Bullshit, the chant wasn't even that good so he needs to be knocked off his pedestal. Can I curse? Hope I can sorry. Jake just messaged me about a plan that would only work if one of us has an idol which is kind of scary because he's in a majority alliance, so can't he just tell them to vote one way aka for Hunter and not me. He doesn't realize idols don't fall from the sky, its as prevalent as money for a college kid. Im just hoping I can make this swap and I'm turning my back on all of Sheki just like they did to me, I am going to expose the majority alliance and make it very easy for the members of a new tribe to work with me. Jake is the only one I trust even though Hunter trusts me, he never brought up the idea of an alliance to Nifty so I'm highkey pissed off about that. Tom is the only one on from my tribe right now but I don't care enough about the kid to engage in a conversation so looks like no strategizing for me now. I just want to catch Nifty in the middle of two alliances is that too much to ask for? I don't really know how to end these so I'm just gonna slide on out and hope you guys got a chuckle or two, I'll be strategizing drunk tonight so be ready for some interesting confessionals!

"khizi"

- From now... I'm the... CONFESSIONAL QUEEN

"sheki"

- Update: Tom just messaged me of course and the second thing he said was asking me how I felt about the tribe, and of course I'm going to say I love it and its my own little family and after 5 minutes of it saying read, he just says same. Ok whatever. But now he's claiming there are no alliances going on in the tribe, IM CALLING BULLSHIT! Dude can't type me right in my face and tell me on day 5 there are now alliances. I know you're in an alliance so he might as well just admit it and we can make it 4 or me, Jake, and Hunter will vote his ass out.

"sheki"

- Alliance confirmed: I straight up asked Tom if we were sent to tribal council at this moment who would he vote for. Obviously he is not going to say me, so he said Hunter. I just know now I'm definitely in the minority so unless Jake and I vote with Hunter Im going to have to team up with them for this vote and hope there is only one.

"khizi"

- So today I made my bae. *shows the fake idol* This one will destroy lives. If Minke's team goes to tribal council I will give it to her. She will feel safe and uses it. But then she will find out it was fake. If she becomes angry on me I just wanted to save her and that it's not my fault. If she goes home I eliminated my biggest competitor. Oopssss.

"khizi"

- Lol what is this. Jared came to me and asked me what I thought about the 'new alliance'. He explained me that Hannah came to him and asked him to be in a alliance with me, her and Joseph. Lol. It's like everyone wants me in their alliance and I'm not even trying to do. Jared knows Hannah is playing too hard and Joseph is just kinda bad. Looks like I can sit back and watch the show.

"khizi"

- I kinda hope Jessica and Joseph will both not submit. Because 1) it will make them a target. And 2) if we lose this challenge I'll be probably the only one to get a clue for the idol because i talked with a lot of people to give it to me.

"khizi"

- Strategy, strategy. Jessica doesn't feel safe, Jared is annoyed by Joseph, Joseph is boring and Hannah is pretty quiet. I think I need to get rid off Hannah but I keep her close. They always say; keep your friends close, but keep your enemies closer.

"astara"

- I'm so happy I survived that last tribal. Now I gotta work on getting myself into an alliance so I can solidify myself for the next tribal. Clifford seems to be willing to work with me, but we'll see about that.

Day 5
"khizi"

- We lost... Now I better get that idol clue or i'll be mad at all.

"baku"

- god does it matter jay? no. SHUT UP!!

"sheki"

- I'm trying too be so chilled and relaxed when I play, and not be such a ball of energy. But with all this shadyness going on, it's difficult. Jake is acting like a mad man and saying this person is doing this and that. I just don't know about Jake. CALM DOWN MAN

"sheki"

- So, Tom and I were in a call on skype and just kinda chattin', and we started talkin' about Jake and what he was doing w/ us on the tribe. Tom revealed he talked to Rob earlier and that he hadn't talked strategy with everyone and was scared because this is Rob's first ORG. Tom made a pact with Rob, and then told me about this. And this raises some concerns in myself, as Jake said earlier that Rob was talking strategy to Hunter and was feeding the info to Jake, who was relaying it to us. But if Rob is telling the truth, then where did Jake get that information from if Rob hasn't talked strategy to anyone? Basically, Tom and I are worried about Jake now and how hard he is playing the game this early on. If he is willing to make up lies to try and test our loyalties to him this early on in the game, I'm not sure how much longer I want to work with him. Tom and I are now basically staying together 'cause we're the only two we can trust atm, and we have Rob on our side for at least this one vote-off. So we could blindside Jake if we felt like it was that big of a deal to us, but we might still go after Hunter because we have no connections to him and have no idea what he might do in the future. Espiecially since he seems to be avoiding strategy talk with any of the 3 of us.

"baku"

- My tribe is doing great! We are doing well, we are bonding. COMPLETELY different from my first time and I'm having so much fun!!! Hopefully I can find the idol before anyone else. I hope

"khizi"

- I got the idol clue. I have to find it

"baku"

- Let's wait for the sit outs! We have plenty of time. *later* well crap. LOL

"baku"

- Seriously Jaylen. Seriously?! You decide to sit out Angie but you don't post anything about who we at sitting out or giving the clues out. OH MY GOSH!! That really pisses me off not that I care but I told him yesterday that I wasn't sure if I could play and he goes off and sits Angie out.

"sheki"

- So I'm sitting on the sidelines as well cause my computer isn't with me. This is worst case scenario. If we lose, it's my fault. There is a 90% chance I go home if we lose. I'm completely letting my alliance down. And this sucks

"astara"

- So far, I feel like Colby Donaldson on a tribe with Chets or something, I love my tribe but in the past challenges I've performed the best out of them and it looks like the trend is about to continue, I honestly really hope we don't lose, but I'm not counting it out at all, if someone has the idol right now I honestly think that's a bunch of bs because the chances of getting it right when Nick did are low but if he or anyone else for that matter gets it again, it'll be even more surprising and worse.

"khizi"

- shit looks like i'm fucked i don't think i'm going to win and it seems like everybody is against me so looks like I have a few options: 1. get insanely lucky with the idol 2. hopefully ella doesn't play, so if we lose because of that, i can try to swing the votes on her 3. try to swing the votes on jess for being a returnee but then again i'm pretty sure that a) Ella has the idol b) Ella's with the returnees so hopefully Jared+Hannah vote with me so i can try to make a move and don't vote me off first chance they get

"khizi"

- I think that they're throwing the challenge

"astara"

- I underestimated my tribe, Nick didn't do awful on it and he beat every level and Minke is doing better than me

"sheki"

- so apparently going out all night is a good strategy because i get a message from jake saying he's in trouble if we lose, coincidentally 5 minutes later Tom adds me to an alliance with Nifty. So now I have replaced Jake in the majority alliance so thats swag, but I am still loyal to Jake as he was to me when he was in the alliance. I don't even know what Hunter is doing cause he's going to dance out of this competition sooner than he thinks.

"sheki"

- Completely doing everything humanly possible to make sure I did not play on Rainbow Road in Mario Kart when I was a child is really coming back to bite me in the ass.

"sheki"

- http://youtu.be/Q3uetpPHFb8

"khizi"

- Challenge results in a halve hour or something? Well if we lose the plan is to vote out Hannah. Hannah and Joseph are both dangerous and needs to go. I trust Jessica and Jared with my heart.

"astara"

- So I've talked to Clifford in private, and we are seriously considering the benefits of voting Minke out if we lose, I like her but I feel Nick will be a much more valuable asset in an alliance than Minke, she is so unpredictable and Nick seems like a sure thing, sorry Atari 3, but It's looking like it may soon become the Atari 2 + Nick.

"sheki"

- I thought I was good with Rob and then nifty/Jake in a different sense, so of course Tom is going around targeting me. It's so annoying, but why me!?!?! Is it tumblr or what? Jake said he will vote tom next vote. Which is great for me but I need nifty or rob to come with me which I can bribe them with my idol clue. I mean I have an advantage there

"astara"

- Ok either I'm really paranoid, or something is fishy here. I think my tribe is throwing the challenge to get rid of me.

Day 6
"astara"

- 90% sure that plan to throw the challenge to get me out backfired. These people must think I'm a moron? If there's a swap tomorrow, expect a flipper.

"sheki"

- Thank god we managed to win that challenge. But with this new alliance between Rob, Nifty, and Tom... I might need to rethink this whole alliance thing

"khizi"

- I feel pretty confident. Hannah and Joseph both says they want Jessica out. Jessica and Jared wants Hannah out. I don't see them flipping. What would be the reason? I'm 'loyal' to both alliances. But since I like Jared more and Jessica was my first allie in this game I stick with them. But I'm not Ella if I don't have surprises so tonight's tribal council will be as much entertaining as the previous one.

"khizi"

- okay what's happening this tribal council i formed an alliance with Jared/Hannah, and Ella is stupid bc she prob has the idol so Jess it is that's assuming that the vote doesn't swing to me tonight and if it does i can imagine it being bc Ella doesn't want to be in a 4 with a pair that she knows via my confesh but Jared mentioned that Hannah also mentioned working with Ella in her talks with him so i know that's not really a ""pair"" so much I guess we're just voting the person not included in the clusterfuck of pairs rn Ella also said that she's working with Jared earlier the other day at some point so like what i'm imagining is a group of four people who each have deals with each other, and jessica's not included in that

"baku"

- I hate being the weak link in this challenge but my tribe KILLED IT!! I hope that we win and secure another victory. This is so new to me. Y'know the whole winning consecutive challenges like OMG if I can win the next two, I would have tied my first time. LOL. Hopefully all works out.

"baku"

- WE WIN YET AGAIN AND I WASN'T THE LOWEST OVERALL!!! These other returnees need to pick it up come on this is your second chance MAKE IT COUNT!!! I was hoping that one of the other tribes loss and not Astara because that increases my chances of being in the majority in the swap.

"sheki"

- Nifty came clean to me. There is in fact a majority alliance and I'm the target. We either keep winning, or my second chance is going to be cut short

...Or I need some serious sweet talking. God I need to channel my inner Jamie ;)

"sheki"

- SCRAP EVERYTHING I SAID IN THAT VIDEO CONFESSIONAL, ROB IS A MASTERMIND AND WE DIDNT EVEN SEE IT! Jake confronted me this morning about the alliance w/ Tom, Rob, and I and I asked him if Rob exposed it to him, which he said yea to. I ended up coming clean about it cause I thought it'd be really stupid to bullshit him when I'm caught red-handed anyways. When he asked us who we were targeting tho, this is where the dots started connecting. I honestly told him that Tom and I were leaning towards Jake because of Rob saying that he hadn't talked strategy to anyone when Tom approached him. Jake then showed me a screenshot of one of their conversations, and we realized at that moment that the reason the Tri-Angels had become divided was because of Rob lying to get us to turn on one another. In short, Rob caused the division among the Tri-Angels and we didn't even see it until now. He's been playing practically everyone since the beginning of this game. I guess what he didn't expect, though, was for Jake to confront one of us and for one of us to reveal the truth of why we targeted him. Rob, well played. But not well played enough. Congrats on being the official target of the Tri-Angels.

"sheki"

- OH MY GOD. I cannot believe that worked. I just went from the best spot, to the worst spot, right back to the best spot in my tribe! Unfortunetly I had to ditch my buddy Rob, but hey. Man this is getting fun

"khizi"

- So as of right now it seems I may be a swing vote. I could either do Hannah with Ella and Jessica or I can do Jessica with Hannah and Joseph. Im leaning more towards doing Hannah because all Joseph has going for him is claiming theres a girls alliance but I still don't feel safe since you can never know in this game.

"sheki"

- So I legit died last night but I woke up to Tom and Nifty actually strategizing in our alliance, so thats good news right. They are debating between Jake and Hunter for a target and I would rather Hunter leave but also I can just turn the tables on them and be three strong with Hunter and Jake. That would be a huge move on my part but also create a huge enemy out of Nifty or Tom. Either way I vote for a tribal, I'm making an enemy, but I got enemies got a lot of enemies. Ok that was lame I'll go now bye!

"khizi"

- Hannah just asked Jessica about the vote. I told Jessica she had to say my name because if Hannah knows I got a vote she would tell me. I know she trusts me. But look, everyone does now so I have to make a decision. Joseph told Jessica I had like 2 or 3 idols. If he thought that really he wouldn't say that. Because in this game or war you never say what you actually think. Anyway, Hannah came to me and said Jessica voted me. I acted like I was being paranoid as fuck and she totally felt for it. I'm loving this game so freaking much. Ok, Hannah said she would be always loyal to me. She also says we got joseph to vote out Jessica. I don't think Jared is on their side or they're playing a GOOOOOD game. And if I get voted out tonight, my respect for them tbh. But 99,9% chance that's not going to happen. I'm really sure about my position here. Jared and Jessica are the outs. And I'm alligned with them. They're the most inactive and the most threats who will voted out earlier in swap and merge than me. This can't go wrong. If I survive I'll be so happy. Tribal council, I'm more than ready
