(Frankie Grande Picture) Will this be the case... stay tuned :)

"zaranha"

- 16 confessionals! You might wonder why I keep track of the confessionals, and I don't realy know tbh, but I guess it's a way to stay sane. Going insane can be horrible, and that's exactly what happened to Reid. I'll warn everyone though: this might be my longest confessional ever, even longer than the one yesterday. It's just so that so many things have happened, and I have to much to write about all of them! I guess you can say this is a breaking point for me though. The first 10 days are over, and I've moved on. That time will still be remembered as the "Zaranha Arc" though. It contains the beginning of the game, my contact with everyone, the first challenges, the first TCs, the first five going home, the Euro Alliance, the "glory" days of Zaranha, the first 15 confessionals and the finale - Reid going insane and my life depending on a person previously wanting me out. I've talked about most of these things, but I still have one thing left to talk about: the finale. I'll start with where we were yesterday. Reid, NPC and I vote Laure, Laure goes home. Right? No! NPC suddenly comes to me and tells me that he wants Reid out instead of Laure. I had already sent my vote in, so I just tried to convince him to vote with me. He thought Reid was too much of a wildcard though (which was true, I just didn't want to see it) and voted on him. I, naïve as I was, went to Laure, Reid and NPC to talk to them. I told everyone that Reid and I were voting Laure, and NPC and Laure were voting Reid. I talked to NPC about a tie, and what we'd do then, I talked to Reid about preparing for a tie and having to fight, ad I talked to Laure about having to vote Reid to not go out immediately. Reid was, as always, impatient, and demanded Liam and Joan to post the results. Laure hadn't sent in her vote yet though. She was looking for a scroll, since "parchments are for peasents". I was fully prepared for a tie to come, but oh boy was I wrong. Instead of Reid voting Laure, he had voted for me. ME. He still went home though, since everyone else voted for what I'd believed, but I was in chock. Reid had betrayed me. He asked for last words, but Mitch just threw him out. After that he PM:ed me, saying he was sorry. He also wanted to know if I was on an alliance with Gavin. I forgave him, IMO you should always forgive, but couldn't answer his question due to me being on the game and him being out. We also said we'd talk to each other after the season was over. That's the end of Reid's story in Cape Verde. One thing hasn't been explored yet though, and that is why Reid voted for me. It was because of his Gavin obsession, but what really happened to Reid? That's what I'll try to answer now. After that: new Zaranha and new alliances?

Reid came to this game as a normal person. Well, normal might not be a correct word to describe him, but he was at least not insane. At least not yet. Reid was playing a fast and instabile game. He made alliances with people, but didn't think after much. His fight with Pedro on day 10 (6 in game) or something was hilarious. Pedro was just playing with Reid, whom thought he was playing with Pedro. Reid always spoke his opinion out loud, and he trusted people and ade them trust him. He was a "fan favourite", and well-known in the community. He could've gone far in this game. One thing prevented that though: Gavin. Reid was told by Laure on day 12 (8 in game), or something like that, that Gavin was targetting him. At first Reid it didn't matter too much, but his hate for Gavin only grew. The same day he was also told that Gavin and I had an alliance, and that's when he went insane. He stopped talking to me, and in the tribe chat he talked almost constantly about Gavin. He even put his weights ni Alto just to send Gavin home. When we lost he kept talking about Gavin making us lose the challenge, despite Gavin being the only non-Zaranhan to not put his weight in us. Reid even went so far as to betray me just because I perhaps had an alliance with Gavin. He thought Gavin and I would vote him out, and he couldn't let that happen. So, he told Laure to vote me out, and hoped to succeed with that. Unfortunately for him, his plan backfired. He went home. After that he seemed to go back to normal more and more. While being insane he still announced he'd quit ORGs (at least until after summer) once CV had ended. Tl;dr Reid went from hero to zero, from sane to insane, and that ultimately lead to his demise.

After Reid went home, the feeling in our tribe was wierd. Liam mocked us with the hosts being more than the contestants, and that came as a reality check, for me at least. The other tribes were outnumbering us, Corvo even had x2 our members!, but we would stand strong. Our weakest link was out, and we weren't going to lose another challenge. Besides, everyone was assuming a tribe swap next anyway. We Zaranhans decided to put away all fakeness, and be "the honest WAFFLEOs". We were going to be there for each other, and Laure even talked to me about being allied. I thanked her for saving my life in this game, and since I voted for her we decided to be even. She apparantly didn't like Reid betraying me, and she knew I really wanted to play. She also asked me if I'd turn on Reid if he had voted with me, and I spoke the truth, saying I never could blindside a loyal ally. The answer satisfied her, and she revealed to me she was thinking the exact same thing. NPC I also trust to some extent, after he sent out his own ally Reid I'm not sure though. Because yes, Reid was speaking the truth about that, and NPC managed to see his madness and vote him out. Tl;dr Zaranha is more tight than ever before, and we'll never betray each other in this game. We'll also win all possible challenges if we have to, since we only have good players left!

That's not everything that's happened though. I told Gavin yesterday, when he wasn't there, that he was right about Reid and that it was a close one. He was glad I was safe, and we started talking about trust and stuff. He revealed he trusted his whole tribe, me, Tyler and Josh. I revealed I trusted him, Laure and Nathan (partly). I also revealed to have good contact with Scott and Emma. Gavin said Emma and Scott were his closest allies, and soon after Scott, Gavin and I had an alliance. It's called "Genius Corp.", thanks for the name Gavin, and we'll be focusing on making it far. I'm now in two opposed alliances (Laure is heavily against Alto and everything it means), but I trust both sides. I just hope I won't have to choose between them later on. I don't trust Laure completely tbh, only because she didn't tell me about Reid's betrayal beforehand, but she saved me, so I'll pretend that didn't happen.

I didn't want to lie at all in this game, at least not to allies, but I unfortunately have. I've told nobody about the Idol, and I'll never do before I either play it or go home. It's my one secret in this game, and a secret I intend to keep. I'm a bit scared still though, because Laure revealed to me today that word is I have an Idol. I denied the fact, but it was still not good to hear. If you read this later on, Laure, Reid, Gavin, Scott, NPC or anyone else I've lied to about the Idol, I'm terribly sorry for that. I really hope you'll forgive me.

Looks like I was right - this has been my longest confessional so far! A new arc is beginning today, one with a lot more alliances, challenges, loyalty and betrayal than the last one. Let's just hope I live to see the end of it - the merge. I'll finish now, and I hope everyone reading this know what happened, and know I came far. I'm finished for today now, or at least almost. This is becoming the best season ever!

"zaranha"

- Confessional... 17? Yep, that must be it. Or is it? I think I'm going insane... Anyway, after two long confessionals - the finale and the aftermath/new beginning - these will go back to being shorter again. Wow! Something totally unexpected just happened... Konrad came back! I mean, that's so great! Joan allowed him into the "14 and a Half Men" chat for 5 mins, and he said goodbye to everyone, said he's sorry for being inactive, explained the computer problems, and so on. Apparently his computer isn't fixed yet, and he was using his sister's for this short visit. I really wish he gets to play again. HvV, FvF, BvW, All-Stars, Second Chances, it doesn't matter - I truly think he deserves to play for real, at least once. Anyway, other than that totally unexpected event that just happened, not much's been happening. The swap didn't happen - instead it's a new challenge. Sigh... and it's a paint challenge! Alto won the buff thing, and I believe they'll win again. Corvo I have no idea how they'll perform, since they lost last time and we didn't even submit anything. That was because Konrad was away though - and had Konrad been here for us this challenge we would've had a great shot at this, because of his Photoshop experiences. Unfortunately he's out though, and we'll have to try to win again. Not that it matters too much though - I'm almost sure this is the challenge that's used to determine which teams get to stay and what team gets dissolved. The swap has to come afterwards, or else Zaranha's pretty much doomed. If we lose though, I have a hard decision to make. I have seven options as it currently stands: 1. Get the others to vote for me, play the Idol, send home NPC. This option would be the best for the tribe, but I'm not sure I like it. 2. Get the others to vote for me, play the Idol, send home Laure. This option would be the best for me, since NPC's easier to beat in a possible fire-making, but this option is almost unthinkable for me since Laure and I pretty much have an alliance now. 3. Don't play the Idol, be with NPC and vote out Laure. The best option for me personally out of them all, since I get both an easy opponent and the Idol left. Can't do it because of above reasons though. 4. Don't play the Idol, be with Laure, and vote NPC out. The most likely option, together with 1 and 5, not sure if I want to risk going home though. 5. Self-vote, play the Idol, and hope to make a tie. I have no idea what'd happen, or if it's even allowed (Joan didn't know either), but that way I wouldn't have to vote either out. 6. Self-vote, don't play the Idol, give the Idol to someone else before going home, and sacrifice myself to save the others. Not my style, but I'd have a good shot at coming back as a Hero for HvV 2 :P 7. Get blindsided and go home. My least favourite option, and very unlikely to happen. Right now I don't even know if we'll lose tbh. I mean, it's less than 5 hours left, and neither Alto nor Corvo has announced who'll sit out. Yesterday everything went so fast with the challenge and all. I took charge I guess, and asked what everyone wanted to do. NPC immediately said he wanted the head, the easy part, so he got it. After that he tried to find a walkthrough for drawing Star Wars characters, since he'd had it some weeks ago, but unfortunately it was lost. After Laure not responding to us for an hour, I decided she'd do the arms/torso, the hardest part, while I'd do the legs. I then said good night, and told the others to decide something to write until I woke up. Now, they didn't do that, but it doesn't matter too much. We'll probably lose anyway XD When Laure came back she was a bit mad over having to do the middle part of the character. She din't mind it too much compared to how much she hated the challenge though. We finally had a chance to beat the others, ad they'd have to use their bad players, but then it's a drawing challenge. She just kept ranting how unfair and horrible the challenge was, not that the hosts minded it though. I really hope we have a chance to win this challenge though. Otherwise I made a proposition to my fellow Zaranhans. I wondered if we could agree on voting out the weakest player of the tribe, i.e the person who we thought made the worst part of the figure. They haven't answered yet, but I do hope they say yes. Why? Well, we're all bad at drawing, so I might have a chance to beat at least one of them. Otherwise, if I come in last, I'll play my Idol. If I'm able to I'll self-vote as well, since I always hold my word. Genius Corp. hasn't said much today, but I have talked a bit to Gavin, and I have a good feeling about the rest of the game. He also revealed to me that before the game started, a draft was made in the Viewing Lounge - where the participants chose one player each to support. Miguel from Similan apparanty chose Gavin (he also told him about the draft - that's how Gavin knew about it). That makes me so glad to hear! Why? you wonder. Well, that means Gavin has a chance to get far in this game, and as one of his closest allies I really hope Gavin makes it far. I'm also honestly glad for Gavin, since he's a wonderful person that truly deserves to win if he gets that far. Did I say in the beginning that I was going to make these shorter? Looks like I was wrong XD, but that's mostly because Konrad came back <3 Anyway, I want people to read those when the season's over, so I won't drag it out anymore. Have a great day everyone, and remember: this is becoming the best season ever!

"alto mira"

- NO SWAP! (Pokerface)

"corvo"

- SERIOUSLY? Corvo is a freakin BEAST. I just don't see us losing at all but I may have just jinxed it. Seriously, if there's no swap at all and we all make the merge, we may as well be able to control this thing.

I'm just scared of Lindsay and Tyler. I'm scared they'll flip cause they originally voted with Evan. I don't know. I'm scared Emma/Laure/Lindsay will somehow stick together and make an alliance of their own to get rid of the 4 people in Corvo: Me/Heather/Josh/Violet

I mean, us Corvonians are pretty much enormous walking targets for the others in the game.

Which reminds me, Gavin is the biggest freakin' loser in the world! He reminds me of one of those classic disney villains who seem to think they have the upperhand and have everything under control, only to ALWAYS fail at the end. Gavin just HAS to be the same thing. He's like the reincarnation of Evan for god's sake. But he's a disney villain. He will eventually meet his doom. If he doesn't, then the world is going to end like...I don't even know what to do then.

He's trying to play both tribes. He's tryna turn Zaranha against Corvo and Corvo against Zaranha. But ultimately he wants Corvo out. He's tryna make a cross-tribe alliance between Zaranha and Alto Mira to take out Corvo and it's pissing me off. I hope, I'm HOPING he gets voted out soon. Very soon.

Day 12
"alto mira"

- Day 11

"I am shocked that Reid was voted out last night. He seemed like he would be in control. That just come to show you, never feel comfortable."

"I still have had no luck finding the idol. I really hope no one has found it. Otherwise, it could be a huge threat in the game. Right now, I feel safe. But I am starting to get nervous."

Day 12

"I couldn't compete in the challenge today. Sorry. Can't Draw."

"Looking at my tribes submissions, looks like none of them know how to draw. Obviously we need art class bad. Except Pedro maybe."

"My alliance keeps telling me I'm safe and I want to believe them. But, I feel like something else is going on. I am just going to continue with the plan and see where it goes."

"alto mira"

- Had to vote Pedro due to what I had previously told the Miracles alliance... what Josh told me about him trying to get close with Corvo didn't help either. Resisted the urge to write down Laure's name though, so...

The second we swap, I should be target #1, but of course that isn't going to happen. In the words of a wise man, this is a "business trip" for me; got to get done with work, so I can relax at home.

People I would like to win if I can't:

- Scott - Nathaniel - Emma - Brayden - Josh - Tyler

^ If I am being played by any of the people above, they truly deserve the million dollars.

"zaranha"

- Nathaniel

"alto mira"

- We lost! Pff... Not that I wasn't seeing this coming, because our drawings weren't the best, but there is nothing you can do when you rely on people's opinions. There is no point in drawing The Last Supper when the judges prefer a Voltorb.

"alto mira"

- Well, this is a tricky Tribal Council. I'm torn between voting Brayden out and attempting to blindside Gavin. In both ways I believe I'll be in the hot seat. The thing is that there is no advantage in voting Gavin out this time because it won't be a huge move, it would only be a defensive vote, because I still think he is plotting something with Laure, and sometime he is gonna blindside us.

"alto mira"

- Apparently Reed spun a web of lies on his way out... was blindsided by the people I wanted to take to the end... those I thought I could trust. Hoping for an outcast twist if I get taken out, I need salvation... though this ain't my swan song, just ya'll wait ;)

"alto mira"

- Keep hope alive! Seems like I may have a fighting chance ^_^

"alto mira"

- Well, any which way this vote turns out, I just want to thank everyone. Great hosts, and great people all around :) Met some true friends during this process :)

Best of luck to all, may they have been friend or foe to me in the game :)
