Let's Leave It Up To Fate/Confessionals

"sarlag"

- Daamnnn, just the first tribal council and I can already smell beef. Rip Cole though, he did pretty okay challenge wise, but okay just wasn't enough.

"mori"

- So my reaction to the results of the tribal Council is: it didn’t really shock me and I feel that Immunity may be a bit tricky for me but i’m just gonna try to go with the flow and try my best.

"tarvaga"

- So im doing my challenge an I really wanna try to have our tribe safe this tribal. I'm not great at memorizing but I for sure wanna do my best and have our bears in a good position if the switch is next week. I'm a little worried that the switch could greatfully effect my game.

"mori"

- I feel really bad for not doing these confessionals so often! I bust one out every day or every second day but it's such a busy week this week that I missed two full Survivor days! I'm going to have to catch up on a few things.

Immunity Challenge #1 Win: I was going to type out some song lyrics celebrating our dominating win but that'd be weird two days on. But anyway my first reaction whilst I was eating some Popcorn Chicken at Melbourne Central was that we KILLED THAT. We smashed that out. We can kiss giraffes, climb stairs, and slide some slide puzzles all day long baby. But I'm not the cocky type, just the competitive one. So every challenge is a new one and just because we won one, doesn't mean we'll win the next. The other tribe - Sarlag? The purple one? The yaks? They came pretty close in some challenges so we got some competitors. They mean business.

Tribal Council #1 Results - Gatsuur: Poor storks going into Tribal Council. The only tribe with females. Even Bradley noticed the massive gender imbalance this season. Nobody wants to be at Tribal Council first. They didn't even get an idol clue. This is also my first ORG where all the Tribal Council results are revealed, which does help close any gaps in your knowledge about the other tribes. It's always interesting to see the dynamics for every tribe at every Tribal. And for this one, it seems like Cole was an easy, unanimous boot for a lack of expressed social skills. Will never get to meet you, buddy.

The Hidden Immunity Idol: I have barely any luck with getting idols. The only idol I've ever gotten in my ORG history was in my first, and that was in the Final Five, and I didn't even need it. I guess that means I'm not the worst guesser, but I'm pretty close. So when the system of how to get idols in this season was revealed I was like, oh no. I suckin fuck at guessing! The only way I could actually do well is to work with somebody else, but absolutely NOBODY has brought up the topic of the idol in DMs at all. Nobody. Does that mean we're all challenge focused, or secretly selfish? Despite quite a lot of us being big Survivor fans, I truly believe it's the former, though. I honestly feel like we're way too boring. I guess that's what happens when you bring people of the same certain personality on one tribe. But whatever makes you win, let's do it. Let the trainwreck tribe entertain for now. We'll get our time to shine.

Anyway that was a bit of a tangent but I have no numbers guessed right for the idol yet. We got the clue, nothing in the second row of the 10x10 grid will be what we need. But that just eliminates 10 numbers, and leaves us with 90 more to guess. Three. Out of ninety. That's a one in thirty chance. With a stroke of luck, someone may have gotten a number. But no, luck hasn't stroken me. Nobody has stroken me :( woah calm down there Also, you never know whether the 10x10 grid is what you'd expect! Numbers written left to right? Up to down? In a completely random order? Nah the beautiful hosts wouldn't fuck with us that bad (right?)

Immunity Challenge #2: I'm an injured horse who has to sit out for this challenge. Exams are brutal, but now that the first one's done, it's a bit eased up. Still disappointing not to be able to participate though. So I'll try help! Not sure if it's allowed but I'm giving past scores to help set goals for my fellow equines! We should get this in the bag! 🎵We got the horses in the bag, horse power is attached, 🎵 fuck i can't do it

Tribal Dynamics: One - Tal is a bit worrying with the timezones, affecting conversation with everyone. But I like Tal. I can hear his accent through text. I know you can't hear but like, the spelling and grammar - it's there. It's cute. Two - Haven't been talking to Logan much, except "Hope we win this challenge!" and "Great job on the challenge!" Three - Bradley's also got a project to focus on, and knows not to bother me much so I can study lol. Also, heard from Patrick who heard from him that he got second in the same ORG that Tal has been second boot on! Four - Bradley has been reaching out to me and Patrick! This is good, I like it, having options. But Patrick is a bit wary. Five - Patrick and I are still keeping up! Topic moved to RHAP and shows interspersed with game talk. Patrick considers Bradley as being the third in our alliance and considered making an alliance chat, but Patrick and I, we've emphasised each other as our ride-or-dies. We would try not to make that obvious to the others.

So I guess that's it! Also I'm not sure what to do for VL, it's like too little and there's not enough information and it seems pointless. And to add all this to VL might be overbearing or hurting games if there are cheaters in the VL (yes it's happened in one of the ORGs I've been on). But anyway, bye bye shepherds pie

"sarlag"

- I swear to God every fucking time I clicked wrong in this challenge, I have a mini heart attack.

"sarlag"

- 1 down, 18 to go!

Surviving the first challenge was great, but we barely did it. And damn that final vote for Cole, we got some snakes up in here. Anyway, I wasn’t online for the announcement of the second challenge, so I thought it would be appropriate to volunteer to sit out as the others already expressed interest in playing. I feel comfortable with my position in the tribe, I proposed to both Randy and Logan C. to make a trio going forward and they were on board, we haven’t create a chat yet but that will definitely happen if we lose the challenge. I don’t think sitting out will make me lose points or make me a target, I‘ve create this chain of sharing idol combinations info with Logan and Randy (with them sending me back theirs) so I think they won’t vote me out for now.

"tarvaga"

- Ugh I'm tired, and I'm just not sleeping. I think Eli is distrusting me a bit, he got a bit confrontational about the idol and you know he has every right to be, I've been playing this game to win but at the same time I've been acting like an asshole, and that's not who I am. So I'm gonna try and be less of an ass in the following days, my only hope is that we don't go to tribal.

"gatsuur"

- So the tribal council could have no gone better! Cole did vote for Megan and now Megan knows that I told her the truth about Cole's shady gameplay. Cole is out like I wanted and now Megan trusts me because she thinks I saved her ass. This could only get better if we win the immunity challenge because I don't want to lose anymore people than I have to.

"mori"

- Well I started off a not so good start in the challenge but hey I managed to get better as time when on so that's a good thing.

"sarlag"

- So the challenge ends in less than an hour and I'm definitely more nervous about this one than the last one. And that's not a good sign considering we only came in third last time. But I feel like I'm in a decent spot right now with everybody (knock on wood). And I feel like I could easily get out either Ty or Jack. I'm leaning towards getting out ty as of the moment. I've planted a couple seeds to randy the past day or two that ty might be the first to go; and i just told randy that i'm a little bit more nervous about these results than the last ones; and he responded "If so it would probably be Ty. I just don't get the feeling he's tried much." Which I would hate to see the man from TEXAS go but I feel like i just haven't made a good connection with him. I think Jack might be more loyal player than Ty. But also if Ty isn't really good at making connections maybe i should keep him around because he could be less of a threat to me?!?! Idk if we do end up losing I'm gonna have a lot to think about, in my mind there is a reason to keep each one of these 4 people and also a reason to get rid of each one of these people, and i have to figure out what is best for my game.

P.S. I know my grammar sucks but y'all just gonna have to deal with it because i don't plan on going anywhere anytime soon!!

"tarvaga"

- Immunity on the line.. not looking good

"tarvaga"

- Welp. We are off to tribal.

"mori"

- That was to close to call. Tal almost dropped the ball in that challenge and cost us. Thank god we managed to pull in out. However we’re starting to see the cracks and lines are being drawn. Currently and I find myself in an alliance with my number 2 Jerome and bradley who actually wants to talk strategy. Logan keeps messaging me but I am starting to wonder why. We don’t talk strategy and all his responses are hey, yeah, ok...

"sarlag"

- We won another challenge! Gotta give respect to my tribe mates, that was a total blowout. I find it very suspect that someone on the green tribe would send a 0 score (when someone could have sat out) or even a 17... what were they thinking? My immediate thought was that they were throwing it but why throwing a challenge so early on in the game? Can’t wait to see what that was all about and if they actually tried to throw or if they’re just an actual train-wreck.

Either way, good for us! Hello top 18.

"tarvaga"

- So hopefully the plan to take out Liam is still in check.

I at least want to talk to Eli and try to get him to trust me and make sure he wont think of voting me out. The way I see it, If i get him to gain my trust for just talking to him and telling him "Hey, your someone I'm not gonna vote out."

I might not be someone he would vote for. Instead he votes for someone else besides me if he doesn't plan on voting Liam out.

I just hope nothing changed in our Fours a Crowd alliance cause I do have faith since we are sharing idol guesses.

"tarvaga"

- Is it bad that I am over the moon that we lost? I honestly could not be more excited. I just love the strategy portion Survivor and I’m thrilled to see how messy this game is going to get. Right now everyone is on board to vote Liam. He’s a nice guy, but I just like everyone else more. I just hope we’re not throwing the baby out with the bathwater because he is very strong in challenges. Oh well, if we lose again I know I‘m not going anywhere.

"sarlag"

- Huge win for the boys in purple today. We CRUSHED it. Getting close to finding the idol. Have two of the three most umber and only 17 choices left. I know 38 is the first and Logan found out 57 is not the first today. Hopefully we can get it and use the numbers to fish out which of the other three will be loyal to us...stay tuned.

"sarlag"

- So I was completely wrong about being concerned about results, we blew the other tribes out of the water! People think green may have thrown idk maybe so not really important right now. My only concern right now is a possible swap coming. I don't think it is but there's a chance it does happen tomorrow. On another note randy came in clutch today not only in the challenge but also by telling me that ty was guessing 49,50,54 right as i was bout to guess 50,54,56 so i was able to change my guess to 56,57,59. And 57 is in the combination! Giving me all 3 and knowing where they go. I decided to tell randy i got a hit on 57 but saying it was first guess so it was an O just to feed him some info but not tell him too much. I felt like i had to tell him it was a hit this time because i told him i was guessing it and he'd eventually find out anyway plus it builds some trust. Hopefully no one has already found it and haven't just been lying to us the whole time... As much as I want to have an idol and no one know, I cant think of anyway for that to be possible without someone (mainly randy) finding out the idol is gone eventually, since he also has everyones guesses. IDK what to do! Randy wants us to find the idol. Then feed one of the numbers to people to see if they say its an X or if they tell truth to see if we can trust them, which isn't a horrible idea. I think what I'll do is guess the combination tomorrow. Pray its still there. And tell randy i guessed 62 and some other numbers and got a hit on 62. then he will guess the combo and hopefully not get them in the right order then when its my turn to guess again i say i got it right. Then we can go from there. That's my current plan. Or just wait till tomorrow night to tell him i got the idol and not risk him guessing right and it not being there idk. I know i just rambled alot sorry I'm just excited. And I'm gonna feel really stupid if someone already found it....

"sarlag"

- Scratch what i said before, I just convinced Randy to go 60,62,64 in the morning so he should find it and tell me, And then i would guess the combo right after, thats alot easier!

"tarvaga"

- Im a little worried that Landen might be working with Eli and Liam.

Eli could be lying to me that nobody has told him anynames. Even though Landen told me he said Liams name to Eli.

Unless Landen is lying and the 3 have something up there sleeves.

So in my eyes Landen might be the swing vote for this trible.

"tarvaga"

- It’s like 3 hours later and screw everything I said in my last confessional honestly. Apparently Eli wants me gone and has been throwing my name out, Liam is just trying to save himself, and Landen is trying to save Eli and get Landen out. Eli has been moaning and groaning about his girlfriend dumping him and I’m about ready to dump his ass from this game. This tribe is so fucking messy and I guess this is what I get for wanting to go to tribal. Karma really is a bitch huh

"tarvaga"

- "Then Tarvaga wins again; we say Tarvaga strong winning immunity Remember how that lasted for a day? I say, I hate this, we messy, what's the vote? I don't know. Oooooooooooooh,

we are never ever ever - Surviving a swappp"

Ok flop lyric change but I don't care because a boy is TIRED. Tired, tired, tired, let me tell you all I am running my fingers through my hair, this is just too much. I'm exhausted with the MESSINESS! So Tarvaga comes back from our first challenge and like, we're in a good mood! I make the "Four's a Crowd" alliance with Evan and Kyle, we compare Idol Guesses and everything, it feels great, then later that night, Liam randomly messages me adding me to a group chat with Eli too! Like... you both didn't talk to me about my personal life and stuff before this, you barely even know me, but thanks for including me in the alliance, which by the way, still should've been called #TarvagaStronger! That was a much better name idea, and I'm disgusted they didn't take my pick. Disappointed, but not surprised since they clearly can't take anything for the humor that it is....

Like when Evan and Kyle FAKE FOUGHT AND ELI THOUGHT IT WAS SERIOUS... Leading Eli to believe they are tight (which they are) but now he wants to lead this big stampede against Evan and like.. Sis. It's not a good idea, it just isn't. I guess that's because nobody's seeing how in control I am though..? I mean, I'm sure Evan and Kyle are at least a little privy to it. But honestly I didn't even do this on purpose. I was definitely playing well on purpose, but I didn't mean to throw myself into the perfect middle position and be the only person who's name wasn't an option on the table. From my perspective.. I kinda snapped! But also it was unintentional, I don't want people to look back on this and think I was intentionally throwing everybody under the bus and lying and being backstabby. I really do want to honor my word 99% of the time, I play as nicely as I can until I'm left with no other choice.

Anyway, Eli's big push for Evan essentially ended up bringing this huge outrageous fight between the two of them, like not an actual argument fight face-to-face, but both of them pushing for each-other really hard and not budging. Which is EXTREMELY ANNOYING because both of them are endlessly loyal to me and that means I obviously want to go for LIAM! It's clearly the best option for me and I'm annoyed that I can't do it because neither of them will change their mind, when we had a 4-1 vote consensus before that would've worked out perfectly and brought us a united front going into the swap. Now we're going into it divided. It's no question about staying loyal to Evan and Kyle, really. That's not because I don't know they're tight or because I'm just a lackey. I know they're closer to eachother than me, but the thing is this game goes on a long long time. Right now that's a disadvantage, but as we get to later swaps and merge, that duo being there is going to be a shield for me, while Eli and Liam are completely messy, unreliable, and volatile players who also won't shield me at all. The only thing I can count on them for is to not throw my name out, which just makes me more worried in a swap situation since that would get me targeted. It's much smarter for me to stick with Evan and Kyle now, and let them take the heat for their failures and their tight duo later, while I slide off the success of numbers.

I'm pretty confident with the game I'm playing right now, but man am I annoyed with the way this tribal is going, because it's looking to be pretty set on Eli, and I just want it to be Liam. But oh well! All that matters I'm safe and setting myself up for a decent enough future, which I think I'm doing a good job at right now. DP out! :)

"tarvaga"

- Literally me and Evan are like trying to make Landen switch, cause even tho Liam is good at challenges, we cant be making that judgement right away. Its been only 2 challenges.

While Eli has told us three different things. I want him gone. I just pray Eli goes home and me and Evan don't have to suffer with the outcome.

Evan is my ride or die and I want him to be safe. But this stupid chat with Eli, Evan and Myself had that Eli suggested is fucking stupid.

Like what was the point.

"gatsuur"

- the flop tribe won a challenge, the horror! :O :O :O this challenge was SO UGLY, but I'm glad that we have Ruth to carry us <3 that is all, the past 24 hours has been pretty uneventful

"sarlag"

- Well that was easy.

We led the second team by what, more than 100 points?

Wasted 3 hours for this challenge, but still, it was worth it.

Also special shoutout to Eli for the 0. Well done. Love you mate.

"mori"

- Well guys, once again we pick up the victory but the question is that who is the person that will be eliminated from Tarvaga, but I think it may be Eli cause of the fact that he submitted 0 points and that maybe he could be a target on Tarvaga

"mori"

- So I have an alliance now with Patrick and Jerome. And I love both of them. We have the coolest alliance name ever. The "Tri-Continentals". Tal and Logan just don't connect or talk with anyone else, and when they do, its 1 worded answers so it's difficult to continue the conversation. I did get a little more interested in Logan since the last round because were both quite knowledgeable of flags. I lost though. Damn South Georgia and South Sandwich Islands.

"gatsuur"

- but, like, stan grimes if you haven't yet

"mori"

- Playing an ORG compared to LRGs I have to say this experience has been thoroughly EXHAUSTING. Don't get me wrong I love Survivor but when you work 2 jobs and then juggle this on top it gets to be a little much. I'm in no way quitting but I've been going so hard at this and have formed genuine bonds with people on my tribe that I think will carry me forward for a little bit. The next step I think is just to step back take a breather and watch. If I keep going respond, respond, respond 24/7. It's going to take a toll on me and it might think the other I'm flipping. So I think it's time to go to sleep for a little while.

"mori"

- I have few busy days irl so Im happy that we are keep winning and have few days off. I will be honest, I almost couldn't do the simon challenge and I will afraid the tribe will go to tribal and my way in the game will end, but Im happy that I found the solution and our tribe won.

"tarvaga"

- My heart has never been this sick in my life.

I for sure know Evan and I are 100% all in this together. He is my ride or die.

But with the whole Eli hinting about wanting to do Evan. I'm worried Evan would take the chance, and actually try to vote me out to keep himself in the game. Which I wouldn't be to upset about cause good for you hon. But omg...

I want to trust Landen but him telling us about the groupchat and other stuff has more worried that he's trying to sike me and Evan out.

Im praying praying prayiiinnng than This tribal goes out way.

It honestly has to be like, Liam and Eli are so busy with there life that they don't have enough time being on and talking game. Which I don't mind but like the no-talking is just ERRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR////

"sarlag"

- Not much going on right now at the Sarlag tribe unless i'm completely uninformed lmao. Logan is still my closest ally and I'm still skeptical of Randy but he might trust me more than I trust him so I'll have no problem using that moving forward. I'd say I have the least connection to Jack. He's pretty quiet and doesn't have much personality which is boring lol. Kinda want a tribe switch to happen to spice things up hehe I'm getting restless.

"tarvaga"

- Going to Tribal tonight, I am sweating BULLETS. I know it’s either going to be myself or Eli and it all comes down to Landen. I trust Landen and I feel like I’ve built a good connection with him so far, but he is incredibly smart. I wouldn’t be shocked if I went tonight, albeit very disappointed. I really don’t want to be a pre-jury flop. This is so stressful.

"sarlag"

- So I officially have the Idol and I'm surprised to find out it last till final 5, Only expected it to last till the merge started. However i think Randy is basically failing his own test. (the one where he wanted to feed people a number to the combo to see if they told us it was right.... yeah that one) i feed him the third number last night to guess this morning, saying you should guess 60,62,64. and he has not messaged me all day today, probably because he wants to get the idol for him self. My theory is that he did know that 38 was the first number, probably guessed 60 62 64 this morning which would been XOX telling him that the combo had to be 38,57,62 so he is probably trying not to talk to me and get the idol him self. If my theory is correct this complicates things for me. because he will find out it's gone. Gonna have to figure out a new plan.

"mori"

- Immunity Challenge #2 Results: Okay we did that. Or they did that - all I did was sit out. Second place, but still strong as ever. Sarlag really ain't playing though. 289 points? Incredible. I hate it. I hope they aren't like us, that they can easily fracture. I don't know what Analysts do but like, I hope they are all like leaders who want to take charge and therefore, I hope they don't like working with each other and they would rather work with other, more subservient people like us to make them feel like they're running the game. But fucking eh ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

The Hidden Immunity Idol: Seven attempts, twenty-one numbers, no... correct guesses! Well, thank goodness we got the second clue (nothing in the last two rows) because I would've kept guessing in the 80s. But seriously, nothing correct yet? No hugs, but just kisses? Well, here's an update. Bradley and I decided to work together, which is great. The problem is, he claims he has had no correct guesses so far as well. I am aware that he may be lying, but I don't know why he would be, so I fully trust him right now. With his info and mine, and the clue, I made a 10x10 grid chart on Excel and shaded the incorrectly guessed and also ineligible numbers. So there's 3 out of 47 numbers out there. What I'm most worried about is whether somebody from another tribe will get the idol before we do, especially the Sarlag tribe. They seem power hungry, and so have used more than enough time to work together. If we can work with Patrick... I don't know. The Tri-Continentals are there for a reason.

And oh, da da da da da DA, this just in. Breaking news - Bradley just messaged me his guesses of 46, 47, and 48. And he got... nothing. *sad trumpet sound* Oh well.

"gatsuur"

- Hi sorry I’m late! Okay so things went haywire after my last Confessional, I heard from both Jake and Ruth that Cole was throwing MY name out there and just basically being messy af for no reason. So pretty much me, Ruth, Jacob, And Jake decided to vote out Cole for a nice blindside for the first tribal of the season! It did end up working as Cole went in a 4-1 vote and what do ya know! He voted for me. What a fucking snake ass, there was no reason for him to be shady and messy like that round1. He probably gets first boot a lot. Anyways we played a fun game of Simon says and thank god we’re not going to be the flop tribe always going to tribal!! Because we didn’t get last yay!! I’m so glad we don’t have to vote anyone out, I think all of us are just going to get closer as we have rounds where we don’t go to tribal. I hope there’s a swap soon too!

"tarvaga"

- So we lost today and...well its just a kick in the gut. Now we're going to tribal and thats gonna start freaking everyone out but I'm not sure who to vote for. This isnt as easy as I thought it would be.

"sarlag"

- So I figured out the code, only to find out it had already been found. I am not trusting Logan as much as I use to. I think either he told someone else to code because I told him an hour before my second guess today or he was sharing out info with one of the other three.

"sarlag"

- Decided to go the deny deny deny/ clueless route. Randy if you would have just told me you found the third number this morning when you found it (because of me!) I would of told you i found the idol. But none the less this was messy play by me and now have to do damage control and contain this.

"sarlag"

- Randy wants to have a tribe talk about what to do come a swap scenario. and I am very against this. I HATE THIS IDEA. I hate those talks there awkward and useless everyone wants to play the game themselves. This isn't a tribal game its an individual game. Plus we have four tribes in this game! It's not like we will have numbers in a swap scenario anyways.
