Here's what i can contribute from my Manu experience:

DAY 1 - Summer and I were the first people on the chat, so we made an allience. Later Kaitlyn logged in so she joined us. We agreed that the fourth person should be Sole, but since he didn't log in and DB did - we added him instead. Later that day Sole logged in so we set the allience of five there, and named ourselves the "Five Manuteers". I guess this is also the day Kaitlyn found her idol, but she denied having it on the chat.

DAY 2 - DB found out from Ian's facial expressions that Kaitlyn had the idol, and therefore he made a new idol. I jumped on the opportunity and got it myself, and didn't tell anyone.

DAY 3 - DB slowly became an outsider in our allience, and Kaitlyn, Sole, Summer and I decided to blindside him. They thought he had the idol, and althrough i thought it would be a bad move, I knew it would make them think the idol is gone.

DAY 6-7 - Brian became more active in the game, so we decided to add him as the fifth member of the allience. It was then decided that if we'd lose a challenge, we'd split the votes: Sole-Summer-Brian vote for DB, Kaitlyn and I vote for Brian and the rest doesn't matter.

DAY 8 - DB was succesfully blindsided... and then the "Dear Manu" blog post came.

DAY 9-10-11 - Under the impression that Kait and Summer were aligned, I thought I should have Sole as my #1 in case the tribe will dwindle. We started sending emails to each other about the game, and he agreed that we should be the strongest two-some in order to survive.

DAY 12 - After Noah was blindsided with his idol, i got into trouble since Ian mentioned he had the idol when he was voted out. Sole and I discussed that had DB had the idol, Ian would mention he was blindsided with it - and therefore someone else had it. I quickly denied having it and throw the blame at Kaitlyn. In his confessional, Sole wrote about that: "Kaitlyn has been making herself a little bit more suspicious because she's super quiet and we all think she has the idol. Summer and I have decided to go on a witch hunt for the idol and we have asked everyone but they all deny having it. My first pick will be Kaitlyn and then Yaniv. I believe Summer when he says he doesn't have it and I doubt Brian does... he's hardly around!"

Day 13 - We lost immunity again, and it became obvious that Brody will be voted out. However, I was personally really mad that Brian tried to choose lucky numbers on the challenge, which kind of made us lose to Honu.

Day 16 - We lost another challenge and it went down to our allience only. There were no discussions at first on who to vote out - Brian or Kait (they perfomed worse than us three) - so I voted for Brian and Summer for Kait without talking about it. Later that day, all three of us logged into chat and understood that Sole was the swing vote, and we decided to vote Brian out.

Day 18 - Kaitlyn was caught cheating, so we got into a big disadventage in the challenge. Sole and I talked about voting her out in case we lose. At first when Ian revealed we lost, we said we would vote her out, but Sole figured out I had the idol and said "I'm not voting her out if she has the idol". I told him then that I had the idol and he said it's ok - and we kept the plan going. We found a flaw in Ian's description of "5000 point will be taken off the tribe's total", but it didn't help and we lost anyways. I think after that we didn't even talk about the vote - us three voted Kaitlyn as a default vote.

Post-merge is far more complicated so I think most of the Ohana tribe members need to write about their experience.
