Send Us Into A Tailspin/Confessionals

These were the confessionals made within this episode.

Day 13
"sesibi"

- We won the challenge and for once I'm bothered about it.

Benji should have been going last night. The sneaky little bastardo has been spitting names like a gatling gun under seige. I'm hearing the vote is going to Spence, then Jared from Julia and then I must have done something to wind me up as the new target.

He could have major influence if still in the game. I'm not risking that. I'm Byron Cinders.

"sesibi"

- I feel like the Eclipse twist has stifled a lot of potentially big moves, but I am happy to have been immune since the first tribal of the season. Looking over at the other tribe's Tribal, I was happy to see the 4 Dendera's stuck together and voted out a Sesibi. I was surprised Chieko's tribal answer was so aggressive, saying "Based on my predictions a male will go home tonight," so she may have painted a bigger target on her back which is great for me and my allies at this point in the game. Before the reward challenge, I talked to Morena again and I believe we are starting to become, along with Julia, a tight group of three that just hasn't fully solidified yet. I asked Morena if she'd want to go to the Temple, and when she said no I asked who she'd want to send to the Temple and managed to get an agreement on Julia. Morena also told me she does not have the idol, and I'm inclined to believe her. With that in mind, if there is one idol per tribe and one is still out there, we need to keep it within the group of ANYONE BUT BYRON, SPENCER, OR JARED. If any of those 3 get an idol on their hands, it would send us into a tailspin. Right now things are sailing pretty smoothly; I have an alliance of 4, a contingency alliance of 3, and close allies on both swapped tribes. I need to not lose sight of my game and not get too confident, because it only takes one slip up for all of this to come crashing down.

"dendera"

- The situation in the swapped tribe is not as bad as I thought. Being a minority of original Sesibi, I thought that we would be in danger of being exterminated. But apparently it's not all as obvious as it seems. there are cracks in the tribes and, actually, Nicole is willing to support us. It would be great, we would be safe until the merge. Btw, Who the f**k is Chieko !!! Last night I wanted to know her a little more, I just asked her where she is from, same thing that I do with absolutely everyone, something to talk about and that stuff, and she did not want to answer, she said that's too personal and finally I managed to find out that she lives somewhere in South America. What a weirdo, seriously. I hate mysterious people.

"dendera"

- So I got my tribe to help send me and Spencer to the temple, where I spoke to him. He told me that Benji would have gone home had they gone to tribal so I was like oh that's good to hear. Then I had my temple visit, where I chose give, and the result was enlightening haha. I found out that actually Byron would have gone home 4-3 which is obviously not what Spencer thought. So I told him, and turns out Jared and AJ were playing both sides. So now I don't know what to do! I want to protect my allies on the other side, but also I don't feel totally secure on this side :/ ugh, it's all a bit messy now I guess :(

Day 14
"sesibi"

- The Incinerator is in a scary position right now. And I think my luck is running out.

So, Spencer went to the Temple along with Will who was on the other tribe. Will ended up finding out who was MEANT to be voted off when Sesibi won immunity.

It was going to be me. Mr. Byron Cinders was going to be blindsided. Oh no. Those filthy little scum AJ and Jared. Me and Spencer will for sure give them a real shocker if we lose immunity again.

Spencer has an idol, that's what. If we can play this right one of those Dendera renegades will be going home.

But now here's the real problem. 2 of us. Who are we playing the idol on? Guess only the sands of time can tell.

"dendera"

- So Will comes back from the Temple and tells me that he chose the Give option (we had planned that prior), and he finds out that Sesibi's tribal would've been 4-3 with Byron going home, yet Spencer had no idea about this. This basically confirms that they're sticking to original tribal lines over there, while as mentioned before that's not exactly the case here. Additionally, he tells Nicole and I that the eclipse might lift with more gives potentially? So now, we gotta make sure we win rewards so we can lift the curse... and now we might have a dilemma on our hands here with immunity. Do we throw, ideally sending Chieko home and saving our friends on the other side? Or do we keep winning to stay safe and just hope they figure something out? I hate throwing, and it's so early we don't know how this could affect merge. Also, I wouldn't care if Byron left lmao. So idk, I kinda just wanna see what happens. Is there really a point to throwing when you don't know if you won?

"sesibi"

- Ok so I have an idol now!!! I'm feeling very nervous at this point, because my whole game has turned upside down and I have no idea who is lying to me and who isn't.

If I can trust Will, he told me his advantage at the Temple revealed that had Sesibi not won immunity, Byron was going home in a 4-3 vote. I know that Morena voted with us which means Jared and AJ are a pair of deceitful bastards! Sure, they many have been at the bottom on the old Dendera but if you have numbers, of course you'll stick together. Byron and I feel quite dumb to have not seen that, and it puts us in a really tricky spot. If we don't win immunity here, the numbers are still against us and it's gonna be tough to say how it will go.

We were thinking of idolling out somebody but we can't be sure who they're gonna go for out of Byron and I. Similarly, Jared and AJ could actually flip but I have lost a lot of respect for them. Then Jared sends me a ""hey man!"" not too long ago like nothing happened? Get the f**k out of here dude.

Sesibi being, let's be honest, a fairly weak tribe from the beginning with some people who just did not contribute is hurting my game at this point and it leaves me in a predicament. I would hate to burn my idol at the next tribal after only just getting it, because it would be a huge advantage for me at the merge. However, I have to make the merge first and if I go out with it in my pocket, well that would absolutely suck.

NOTE: Benji just messaged me: ""I feel really bad... blah blah blah sanctimonious crap""

Makes me wanna get rid of him even more!!!

"sesibi"

- It's looking more and more like Morena is a solid number for my group. She approached me about voting out Byron this round because he has been a bit bossy to her, so he's just digging his own grave at this point. It should be 4-3 at the worst, but I'm confident heading into the vote. We just need to be wary of idols.

Day 15
"sesibi"

- i hope we win again this immunity challenge so that we never get a chance to lose one member. of course, if we lose, im still gonna evict this guy, thenbiggest threat in this game... thats it but i hope we win this immunity

"sesibi"

- This could possibly be my last confessional.

My brain has exploded. The Incinerator is confused.

"sesibi"

- Spencer confronted Jared basically.

AJ voted for me and so did Morena. Morena I can understand, sometimes I feel like Andrew Savage with her lmao, and of course she's Lillian.

AJ however? Bad move. Check and mate.

Bye bye Benji.

"sesibi"

- oh here we go again, TC eventhough we havent know who wins at the immunity, this is so rough and cruel hahahaha.... i just found out if its true or not, that the old opponent tribe has a leader amd thats my first ally in this game which i thought at my old tribe has a biggest threat too, i only heard both of their names just this morning, i had a feeling that i am in the middle of them, but im not really sure, so im weighing myself and think hard, it is a big mistake on who to vote either with the two or else my game will be ruin. think! think! think!😂😂😂😂😂

"sesibi"

- I have spent most of the past two rounds continuing to strengthen my relationship with Morena in the game. I think pushing for Byron as the target last round over Jared paid off for me, in that even though we ended up winning immunity, Morena spoke out to myself and Julia saying she wants Byron gone because he has been 'kind of bossy' in DM's. I've previously mentioned how non-verbose Byron has been with me in our conversations, and randomly today he sent me a message saying, ""How close would you say you are to Jared? I'm trying to get a feel of people's position here.” So he's kinda sketchy in my opinion.

We still keep 'mild' trust with Jared by going after Byron, plus this time I don't have to be the one pushing that Byron goes. In my view, Morena has basically replaced Jared in our 4 (myself, Morena, Julia, AJ) because she's shown a ton of loyalty since the swap, and wants to vote against her old tribe mates. I can see myself going very far in this game with Morena if things go according to plan (a.k.a. boringly). If by some miracle the final 5 was myself, Nicole, AJ, Julia and Morena, I feel confident that Morena would be loyal to me over the others, and would be a strong candidate for someone I'd want to sit in the end with. She made clear she was at the bottom of Sesibi and that almost no one spoke to her because she was always 'next to go.' If Byron goes now, ideally Jared could be cut next BEFORE the merge or another swap. However, the twist of not knowing if we're going to tribal or not has given us a brutal ""Groundhog's Day,"" ""Happy Death Day""-like situation of constantly going through the motions of planning to vote out Byron, and then next round it repeats all over again because we only find out right before the next round starts if we're immune (which we have been recently). All of that means that if I want Jared to go next, it hinges on Byron going home this round or we'll have to do this whole song and dance again next round.

In that scenario, I think cutting Jared before the merge is my next priority. The Sesibi's (in this scenario) would be down 8-5, and 9-4 if you count Morena as a number for us. I think Jared is the most likely player to rally a counter-alliance at the merge with people like Medha, Aleks, Chieko, Will, Spencer, Jack, and/or Marc. If we can cut him before the merge, Aleks and Medha have less options other than sticking with Dendera, and in addition there would be much less paranoia approaching votes. Jared is the type of player who is very chill sometimes, and then on a dime before tribal he will come to you with a bunch of information and ideas. Now, I'm not saying that works on me, but it is a viable strategy in this type of game where almost half of these people aren't very talkative. That could be the only thing he would need to swing someone like Spencer, for example. Anyways, I'm rambling, but I think heading into whatever the game is, if we can cut Jared beforehand we would have a more solid group heading forward.
