I'm Just Going To Try and Cause Chaos/Confessionals

Day 25
"zahra"

- So I don't want to be over confident but i think I'm in a decent spot most people seem to trust me and I'm not anyone's target. I'm nicely hidden behind whitney, aras, zak(thanks to me just simply telling Whitney he made all the decisions pre merge, not entirely a lie but it works to keep the target off me and will), now tate which is a surprise, plus with talk that Brett has the idol he'll also be a big threat. I think will is probably also somewhat of a target but I'd like to go all the way to the end with him.

I feel pretty badly about the scott vote though I really did want to work with him but it just didn't work out that way.

"zahra"

- I'm glad we still have one more vote until things start getting ugly. On one hand, I have my OG f3 of Will and Anna - but now that we know this is a final 2 scenario I'm not sure it would be wise to stick with that. The thing with the possible final 2 is that there's another group of people I could work with and completely flip it all on Will and Romain's heads. Tate wants to work with me, Anna, and Aras and wants that to be the final 4. What I like about that scenario is Tate and Anna would easily vote out Aras at f4 to give all of us a shot at winning final immunity lol, and if I make it to final tribal council with one of those two I actually do believe I could win. In a final 2 situation with Will, there's no doubt he could easily win. I've been wary of him since the very beginning, when Anna told me he was talking to her more than anyone else. This kid has the social game of a god and that's very scary in the emd game. And to top that all off, he's been so sketchy recently - saying he "found" an extra vote a few days ago, saying he would vote Whitney twice, and then voting Kristen and not using it, and then saying he tried to use it but the hosts didn't see it. I know these are flop hosts but I don't believe they would flop that badly.

All of that considered, I think I'm going to keep true to my word and say I'm gonna go to final 2 with Anna. This is honestly the first game I can see myself winning, but at the same time I know something is definitely fishy about my allies. Aras telling Whitney he would vote for me, Whitney telling everyone in the chat that I'm the only person she'd vote for, I know there's gonna be some kind of plot brewing against me sometime soon. We'll see though!

"zahra"

- Whew another day of drama. Whitney calling Aras a cheater, Aras calling Whitney a CUNT. Yikes, guys.

The Kristen vote was almost perfect..Whitney has no idol and the next vote should be easy. The only weird thing was, I had an issue submitting the vote steal and it didn't get played! I got to keep it, but I already told everyone that I was going to play it so now I look like a total liar lol. I think I've covered my ass pretty well, I promised to use it to negate Whitney's vote next and I'll stick to that promise because it wouldn't be fair for me to keep this damn thing. I meant to use it, and even though I didn't need to use it for the last vote to go well, it shouldn't be in play any more.

Young Zakriah is giving me some issues now. I always knew he'd start playing hard at some point like he did in the swap, and it looks like it's going to be him and I squaring off at Final 7 or Final 6. He's potentially close with Tate (who I'm a little worried about, I feel like Tate's obvious path to the win is by going final 3 with Romain and I and then voting me out but he's just been quiet lately) and he thinks he's close with Aras and Anna (who tell me everything). Basically from what I can tell, Zak wants to pull in Tate, Anna and Aras to vote me out at 6 or 7. Aras is trying to play the middle with Anna and deciding which side to flip with...playing both sides in the most obvious way like he always does. Anna is solid with me, so really Zak can't vote me out no matter what. Anna tells me and then I play the idol. Still, it would be nice to save the idol until final 5.

Anna, Aras and I are buying the lamp now, which is a secret item..basically who knows what it does. It's just expensive as shit. Anna and I each have a 50% chance of getting the item because we put in more money than Aras. I don't think it really matters which one of us wins it, but fuck do I want it bad. I'd have a vote steal, an idol, and a fancy pants lamp thing. Ideally, we can use the lamp to keep Aras loyal through the next three votes.

Also Brett has the Najma idol.

The boot order right now: 8) Whitney

7) Brett (plays his idol probably and hopefully we can get his vote on Zak)

6) Brett/Zak

5) Idk yet, but I'll probably play the idol on Aras or myself to get Tate out.

4) Aras (if I can beat him jfc)

3) Anna or Romain? I think I beat either at FTC of them but I KNOW that I beat either of them at FIC.

"zahra"

- Kristen is gone. Thank GOD. And just like that we have freed a little bit of crazy from this world. It's really irritating that Kristen gets to be on the jury and not Scott when she is functionally illiterate, but what can you do? After the vote results, we all celebrate Kristen's elimination...except Whitney, naturally. She immediately comes to me and complains about Aras not voting how he said he would. And here's the kicker--this whole time, Whitney hasn't realized that I voted against Kristen and not my Tater. All of a sudden, the concept dawns on her and she tells me in typical Whitney dramatic all-caps loser fashion: "THAT MOMENT I REALIZE YOU DIDN'T VOTE WITH US." Get there faster! And she chides me, ridicules me with "What is your plan? They're just going to vote you out! I don't understand!" I take another opportunity to tell Whitney I don't care and that I'd rather be set on fire than work with her. She goes into yet another whirlwind of crazy. It's honestly boring at this point. She takes her drama to the main chat and I am the first one to jump in and tell her off for, again, being a piece of shit. Eventually she goes into this dumb tirade about how she refuses to show her face because her father shot a firework off in her face when she was 4 and she doesn't have a nose. Now if this actually happened, I understand why Whitney wouldn't want to show her face. But the fact of the matter is, truth or not, Whitney is the worst person ever and I don't care if your father fucked your face up. Be a decent person to be around and I won't hate you severely. It's that simple. I fucking HATE that she tried to suggest Tate made fun of her appearance. I'm all about victim shaming--this bitch is so insecure that she projects her issues onto other people. It's rather sickening.

The reward challenge is a flash game. This is pretty uneventful. It always comes down to Whitney and Aras. Fortunately, Aras pulled it out. But there's contention about the ruling--Whitney reported Aras for cheating. Because she can. Aras LOSES HIS SHIT on her and that was kinda fun. He even dropped a solid "cunt" towards her--teenagers sure know how to tangle more than I did when I was one. Ultimately, I feel like I should be a natural choice to go to the bazaar, but Aras selects his more recent allies, Will and Anna (SO noted). They journey to the bazaar together and buy the lamp. Anna subsequently vanishes into thin air and is exiled for the rest of the episode. The effect is super random and I'm not sure if this benefits me or hinders me yet. It takes further study.

Day 26
"zahra"

- Will wants Zak out. It can be a good idea, but he will started to run the show. Maybe we should get rid of him soon.

"zahra"

- Will got the idea to get rid of Zak but with my actions, I think I'll have all the credits for the move. Sorry bro, but right now, the Romfather needs to keep his crown on his head !

"zahra"

- ALKDJFLJDFLK I won immunity I'm screaming. I did work hard on that flag, so I'm super relieved. What I'm NOT OKAY WITH HOWEVER, IS HOW PEOPLE. STILL. WILL. NOT. VOTE. ARAS. Why are they keeping him!?!! He RAPES flash games, and this was the only occasion he probably won't win. It makes no sense, they're voting out Brett instead. Brett. BRETT?! I'm looking forward to voting Aras at ftc, and I will CAMPAIGN for him to win if he does get there because oh my he deserves it; everyone else here ARE MONGOLOIDS. I would go into #JihadiWhitney mode but I've lost all credibility at this point, so imma just ruffle some feathers with a bit o' Bitchney.

"zahra"

- The immunity challenge is a flag design challenge and Jesus Christ--finally something I might be able to succeed at! I worked really hard to design my flag with a nod to fabric/sewing/needlepoint. I had so much fun with this challenge--this was my favorite of the season by far because I got to be inspired and be really creative. My end result was beautiful, but unfortunately I lost to motherfucking Whitney of all people whose flag was gorgeous, but didn't resemble a tribe flag at all. That makes sense. The judges presumably are in the VL and they know that we all hate Whitney, so I'm sure they were trying to throw a wrench into the system. Also, Bryce from Survivor: Whogivesashit and Survivor: Youstilldidntwin did not care for my flag at all. He can suck it. My flag deserved more than 17/30 and it was original as fuck compared to the rest of the flags. It kills me that I didn't win the only challenge suited for me so far at the individual stage and since Whitney of all people won, I feel completely screwed at this point. She was supposed to be fucked this round. But with her safe, everyone's looking at me like easy pickings. Not good.

Day 27
"zahra"

- Of course I wasted all of my money to buy Anna some lamp that doesn't benefit us at all. And of course Whitney wins immunity. Of course she's targeting me now. Blegh.

But its all good because this is going to be the biggest move I've made yet. The vote is supposed to be Brett because he's the last Najma that's not immune (not including Aras), but I'm taking this as an opportunity to finally send Zak the FUCK home. And flush Brett's idol! Zak's been sketching me out since he kept getting greedy during the swap. I'm never going to trust him after he basically blindsided his tribe to try to save Dalton, told Dalton everything we talked about, and then did the exact same shit with Aras. Plus, Anna told me he thinks I'm sketchy and that I'm lying about my vote steal issue last tribal..making him the last relevant person that I'm not in tight with. Once Zak is gone, Aras is going to need me because he'll be under the illusion that I'm a bigger target than he is (not that Anna or Romain or Tate would vote me out anytime soon anyway).

We're also in the process of scaring the shit out of Brett. We want to save him, but I know he has an idol so I'm having Aras, Romain, Tate and I ignore him until tribal is done. It's pretty sad, he keeps asking me if he's gonna be okay lol.

Zak's been my biggest pain in the ass, and nows the time where I pack his shit up and take control of the game.

"zahra"

- At this point, I am the expected vote. But the good thing about Survivor is that I'm surrounded by opportunists and the "expected vote" doesn't always end up the "actual vote." So I'm playing devastated that I sunk my own game and couldn't win the challenge I needed to win that was suited for me (that part wasn't so difficult). At this point, I have no strategic value in this game because I'm playing from the bottom. Tate can use me because he knows I'll be undyingly loyal to him. Will and Zakriah can both use me because we're friends. Aras can use me because I hate Whitney as much as he does. I just didn't know where to begin as far as targeting. Who do I go for? In the end, I felt it best to lay low and hope that someone would approach me.

And sure enough, Romain was first to come at me. "Vote Zakriah. Trust me." Not long after, Will has the same idea. Then Aras. I fill in Tate on the plan. The wheels are in motion and I just might be saved. Tate is then the bearer of bad news by telling me I'm suspected of having an idol. Yikes--this isn't good. I don't need people voting for me in a majority on the off chance I use an idol that doesn't exist in my possession. So not good.
