Another Bozo On The Bus/Confessionals

"tarvaga"

- Well, it's never fun to see someone have to pull themselves from the game, so when halfway through the challenge, it was announced Patrick would be leaving and the challenge was over, I was a little upset about it. It seemed like a fun challenge to finish and I think the game is on track to getting pretty interesting now that the first few boots have happened. But, even though it's not fun to see Patrick have to leave, I'd be lying if I said I wasn't a little happy about getting one stage further in the game. Not to be a "Big Bad Gamebot" or anything, but I just feel that with my current game, if I can make it past the upcoming swap, then I could make a deep run here! I'm feeling better about my ability to talk to people, and in general this cast seems pretty chill and fun.

But that brings me to my current situation, before getting to the swap... Oh boy. Well, I think I made it pretty clear in my last confessional, that just because I'm working with Evan and Kyle, does not mean I necessarily agree with everything that's said in our group chat, or that I want to get to the end with them, yabba dabba do whatever. I've explained my reasoning behind sticking with them, and why Eli made sense as a target, and why his behavior was also kind of problematic. So I'm not going to do that again, at least not right now. But what I will say is that as time continues to move forward, I'm seeing some bad signs with Evan's personality. He's very.. Stubborn, for one thing. For another, he's quite mean. I believe Evan is a good guy, but I think that he is a lot similar to the way that I played my last game, and generally the way I've played many games before deciding to go through a personal transition, which I represented myself through a literal transition from anonymous, character-based Forum orgs, to Real life Facebook orgs. It was a big change, and one that came with a lot of personal growth for me. I had to learn how to be a kinder Survivor player, and I'm not going to claim I'm perfect at that yet. Obviously, it's still very early in the game. But I feel a lot better about what might happen if I end up on the wrong side of a vote, or someone starts an altercation, at any point during the season.

Evan is just someone who I believe may be taking this too seriously, and putting his emotions into this. But I've also seen him be.. Not very nice, to his own friends and people in general. Those are not the types of friendships I enjoy in my personal life, but in Survivor, I'm willing to make it work for the game, since I don't really believe anyone in the game is being hurt by Evan at this point. That being said, I'm not going to support Evan forever, and when it comes time to take him out, I'll be prepared to do so. The only thing that makes things a little bit tricky is Kyle. I don't find any problems with Kyle, I actually enjoy his presence quite a bit. I think he's a great ally, and an even better person. But things are complicated by the fact I'm also aware, that he's closer to Evan than he is to me. So breaking them up would be.. tricky. Especially with loyalty now pledged. Overall, I find it a tough situation to navigate, but one I'm willing to learn more about throughout the season and figure out my own best ways to handle it, while still trying to play this game for the win. Hopefully, Evan can grow as well, as we progress throughout the season.

In other news, on one brightside - Idol guesses! Four's a Crowd has finally narrowed the combination down to just one number left, and I couldn't be more ecstatic. I get the feeling maybe Kyle, and definitely Evan, have been hiding some numbers from me, in terms of waiting longer to cross them out, or anything like that, but I don't really mind since, in the long run, I feel that with me getting the 2nd number, hopefully nothing's been significantly changed. We're one number away from securing the Tarvaga idol. Which is becoming INCREASINGLY more important as we're like... what? A few steps away from a swap? It's a race to snatch the damn thing, and I'm hoping it'll end sooner or later. I'd prefer myself or Kyle get it, but honestly, so long as Four's a Crowd has it, I know where the idol is, which means I know how to use or Counter it. Best possible scenario.

Well, that's all for now. This was a bit longer than expected. But I enjoyed writing it! With best wishes for the rest of the game, and missing Patrick, this has been the DisasterPrince - Sayonara!

"mori"

- So Patrick left yesterday, and it makes me sad. I would have loved to play with him, he was so much fun to talk to. I know he made the correct decision though. Anyways, its just me and Jerome now. We've been looking for the idol together, but now that were close, I don't know if I should hide what I know about it when I find out the last number. I think I'm going to tell the truth though, cause i don't want to risk the alliance and friendship that I'm building with him.

"mori"

- I was talking to Jerome about styles of play and I told him that I'm a villain. And that got me thinking. If there's a swap, do I sell out my tribe and swap to vote them out (excluding Jerome of course) and then make it to the merge, and we'll be in the minority and hopefully, tribes with larger numbers will fight each other and I can slip by. This obviously leaves a huge risk of the other tribes going to my original tribe and ratting me out. I've realised this game that a game with 4 tribes is a completely different game to those with 2. I think I'd prefer to be or put myself in a minority position tribal lines wise, just because its tribe v tribe, tribes want to get larger tribes smaller so they have the edge. Once I'm in the minority, larger tribes may fight against each other and whittle each other tribe, then the more successful tribe will be whittled down by the smaller tribes coming together. Giving me a somewhat equal standing at merge or middle merge. I'm sorry for my brain :P

"tarvaga"

- So the immunity challenge was canceled as Patrick from the Mori tribe quit due to personal reasons. While I didn't know the guy I've got nothing against him and wish him the best. In brighter news I've finally made some progress with the idol, I've got one of the 3 numbers figured out, I just need to get the other 2 before a swap happens and I lose all progress

"sarlag"

- Sooooo Patrick just quit the game. Honestly I have no comment on him leaving, considering I don't know him much and why he left. But if that means me being safe for another day, I'll gladly take that anytime. Anyways, I hope Patrick's okay for whatever he's facing rn though.

"mori"

- So, who knew it will be THAT easy to get a right number for the idol from Logan? Me and Logan are close, but when it comes for an idol I’m not telling anyone anything, but when he told me the number he got that was my missing one, he helped my find Mori’s idol!! So I’m really excited, I hope to use it in the right time and I have to make sure no one knows I have it. Remember when I said I don’t want a swap? So I do want one, I don’t want that someone else will get to the idol and discover it’s gone.

"mori"

- So it's nearing the end of a quiet day of the season, and I just want to update on a few things before I have to lump this info in a later confessional which I would have less time to do.

One thing - I'm trying to solidify my relationships right now. Bradley is my new ride or die, and he's admitted that to me as well. We're talking about music and video games right now, and outside of idol talk, we talked about our characteristics in the game of Survivor. On the upside, we're both strategic rather than social and physical, but we differ in the fact that I consider myself a hero and he considers himself a villain. I think it's great. Our pair is a cool dynamic and villains are entertaining. He told me not to worry since he claims he always works with someone and I am not worrying right now, he's amazing, but later on, probably mid-to-late merge, it might be a problem, if we make it that far. So I might not act in a way that makes myself edge out the power, and he might see that as a threat later on. We barely planned how to navigate an inevitable swap, but we just hope to be together.

Additionally, Tal continues to admit to work with me in the future and we hope to be in the same tribe when the swap comes. I also do want to work with him. Having him as another close relationship in the game is really good for me, as it increases my chances of knowing people well in a swap. We bonded more over shows and that. But then my only worry is Logan. He's got a strong tribe mentality, but he's just very hard to talk to. It's just implied that we'll work together, but it's super hard to really admit that when we don't talk that well.

Another thing - the search for the idol. So after a bunch of times guessing to no anvil (except for the time he got a hug with the number 2), the possible numbers have dwindled down to six: 22, 33, 51, 52, 58 and 59. And one of them is the last number we need. But our guesses have been so bad for the last number even with good odds (20%, then 25%, then 33%) that somebody may have easily gotten the combination correct and therefore, have the idol to themselves. We're so close, but we're probably dead already. But it's Bradley's guess next in a few hours, and he's got a 50/50 chance of getting the right number. If he does not get a single number correct, then I'm not sure how to guess for the last three numbers. Risk it all for the right combination? Partially risk it to actually get the right number? Who knows? But if he does get a Metal gear Solid Snake shock, or a hug in the first or second position, then I've got the right combination for my guess next. This is almost ending, and I hope it will, and it will be fruitful.

"tarvaga"

- Soooo, I found the last clue to the Hidden immunity Idol. I want to tell the boys that I found the final one but I kinda wanna wait a little bit till I think they already made a guess. Cause I High-key want to have it to myself.

I love them, but I just can't put my full trust onto them using the Idol on me if im in danger. s:

Right now, I just have to figure out if the "O" means it's in the right spot, or that It means it's the right number but not in the right spot.

"tarvaga"

- Kyle and I just had a really eye-opening conversation. We were talking and I began to realize why I’m such an asshole on these games. In real life, I would never do anything I do on here. I would never talk down to anyone, blindside close allies, say snarky things.. I’m not that kind of person outside of here. I think I sort of built up a persona of who I wanted to be rather than playing as who I really am. I want to play as the Evan that cares for other, is helpful and funny; not the Evan that’s a bitch for no reason. It’s hard realizing I’ve been wearing a mask and not playing as my true self, but I really hope to change that, starting now.

"tarvaga"

- Remember when I said I was going to try to be a good person? I’m sorry! Apparently that Evan cannot he found. My manipulative side has come out once again and I’ve got Kyle scared of Landen. I planted a little seed of doubt in Kyle’s head that maybe Landen has the idol and didn’t tell us, and Kyle has completely run with it! He is scared shitless of Landen possibly having the idol.. when I’m one guess away from having it for myself. Hopefully, I can get the idol and vote Landen out so any blame of the idol can get placed on him.

"sarlag"

- After Patrick’s quit, we’re the only tribe with 5 contestants left. That technically meant one of us had to sit out at the immunity challenge, and it did not go unnoticed to me that as soon as the hosts told us there was going to be an immunity challenge on Day 9 after the quit, Randy asked what that would mean about who had to sit out (for context, I was sat out of the F18 immunity by Randy, and he basically wanted to know if that meant I had to partecipate in the F17 one). I think Randy wants to take the leader position in the tribe and that he feels very strong in challenges, which he is, but sometimes I feel a but of subtle shade in the way he acts. I’m also pretty sure he found the idol on our tribe, unless that was Logan C, which gives him a lot of power especially since there’s probably going to be a swap at F16. Then again, he did told me one of the numbers of the combination, so I might be way off about not really trusting him.

I’m excited about a possible swap (assuming I make it), it can completely mess up your game but it also makes it more fun. I’ve loved being in the Sarlag tribe but I think things have become a bit boring with just 5 people and there hasn’t been a lot of action. Considering some of the past voting parchments we’ve seen, I’m assuming there are some big personalities in the other tribes, and I’m curious to see what they’re all about.

For now, let’s see how this challenge goes.

"mori"

- The Hidden Immunity Idol: So shit dude. Bradley lost the coin flip so I had to make the guess that correctly decides the code. In a strategical guess to find out the real position of 2 and the identity of the other number, I guessed 2 22 and 33, leaving 51. Any result of hugs and kisses and Metal Gear ! would give me the code straight away, and it turned out to be 2 22 55. So with Bradley's next guess, he could get the idol! And did he?

Not at all hunties. Another person took it before we did, or he claimed another person did... I really hope he's telling the truth, because unless one person got it in between the reveal of the Reward Challenge and his guess, why would there be an idol clue about it? I mean, I really like him partly because we have good music tastes and I trust him, but he has claimed to be a villain... but he also has promised that the idol would be ours if we got it... Aha, maybe I can verify it by asking what his message was when he guessed, "but all that's left is a pile of sand..." But I have to before his next guess, or else I wouldn't know.

But it really makes sense that he hasn't got it. I mean, Sarlag has gotten every single clue like us, and they work with each other in challenges like 5 peas in a pod. There is a super high chance that some of them have worked together just to be in power as soon as possible by grabbing this idol. I looked at the personality types and yep, some analysts are like that. Some people had to have worked together on this though... have to figure out who.

Reward/Immunity Challenge #4: So Bradley and I did the challenge, and we were on voice call and it was great to hear his voice. I admitted that calls trigger my social anxiety for some reason but Bradley I knew and liked well enough so it was relatively easy to do that call for me. I say we worked really well together. Voice is a must have. We got a time of 11:14 though, and I hope that's enough. Everybody has the problem with saving, editing, then saving again so I hope we're good on that regard. After the challenge, we were like if it's not enough we could just vote out Tal or Logan (preferably Logan, since I'm a lot closer to Tal), and we agreed on how Logan doesn't carry the conversation and how we struggle to even continue a conversation with him.

But the biggest thing we got from the Word Search was (Mori 💪) the word 'Swap', heavily foreshadowing a swap soon. And it makes sense! 16 people, it's just pleading for a split. Not sure if Sarlag was asked to sit somebody out but if they don't, it makes sense because they don't need to sit someone when there's a swap next. Tribes could dwindle to 3 and they wouls need a reprieve in the form of a swap. We've got a day at least to prepare for it.

For now, Jerome out. 💥 egg

"tarvaga"

- So I finally cracked the number code for the idol and all I got was a big fat pile of sand. Someone else cracked the code and found the idol before me, which it’s almost certainly Landen. It’s funny how I was joking before about him having it and voting him out, but now it turns out he might actually have it and didn’t tell us. I’d be stunned if Liam has the idol, so my money is on Landen. Going in to the Immunity Challenge, I’m really hoping we can lose. I just wanna flush that turd and his idol honestly.

"tarvaga"

- It turns out that Kyle has been the one bamboozling me. Landen told me he guessed the right combo for the idol but was told that there was only a pile of sand, which is exactly what I was told. There’s no way he could know that if he had the idol. Maybe I’m going to have to turn on Kyle and flush his idol if he’s going to lie to me like that. I really trusted him too. I’m not just going to sit around and be another bozo on the bus, I’m going to take charge of my fate.

"sarlag"

- Why am I kind of sad we lost immunity? Lmaoooo. My tribe is full of boring straight men! :( randy is really getting on my nerves he’s too straight laced and by the book. He’s a literal gamebot. He can’t connect with anyone outside of game. I’ve tried to have conversations with him and I literally can’t it turns to game and idols. He’s really my #1 target he can be so dangerous going down the road. I also forgot jack exists. Carlo is nice and all but I need new blood in this bitch.

"gatsuur"

- ugh we lost immunity yet again i- this really sucks to be honest, i think that i've got really good really good relationships with the other 3 and to cut that before a swap is not ideal at all. why is my tribe so pathetic in challenges :/ i think the vote's gonna be megan as me/ruth/jake have an alliance, which sucks because i love megan to death, but i have to do what's best for my game here :/

"mori"

- O queso we did that. Mori wins again and I'm so fappy (fucking happy)! Bradley and I are an amazing duo to be able to top that challenge. We weren't only searching for words, but also the win! Even though we didn't find the Idol (okay, I verified with him, he also told me about the sand, then he joked if he could ask to dig in the sand haha, but now I feel bad for not fully believing him, I just want to cover all bases). Okay so even though we didn't find the idol, we worked together the eventually find the correct code! But most of all, if there's anything we can take from this pre-swap phase, Sarlag's third place confirms that Mori is undoubtedly the strongest original tribe in challenges! Our only hiccup was our loss in Patrick (seeing his name on the word search made me awww), but... four wins, bebes!

Sadly, it's going to come to an end. Mori will change, along with the other tribes. It's just been in our heads that the swap will be soon! The idol not being rehidden straight away supports this - maybe they're waiting for the swap so there are a limited number of idols in the game. We haven't even got our clue for winning the Immunity Challenge yet! I need to plan how I go - fast.

So let's do this. If Bradley and I are in the same tribe for the swap, fantabulous! We'll work together but we'll try not to show we're a toit as hell pair. If Bradley and I aren't in the same tribe... we'll try our darnedest to survive until we meet again, and are hopefully still okay to work together toitly. If Tal is in the same tribe as I am, even with or without Bradley, that's awesome! I believe we're really close and that we can stick together. If Logan is with any of us and we form a majority, that's great. If it's only Logan and I, I'll try my best to bond with the others, and if Logan doesn't talk to me that much and there's no other clear consensus boot, then I might have to cut him if we're in danger. IF it's just myself... FUCK

But who are the other people I would want to work with? It all depends on how they come out to me when I talk to them. Unresponsive? No. Friendly? Yes! The only one who has really stood out for me from adding me on Facebook and his profile is Jacob. If he survives this Tribal, then it'd be great to swap with him.

Oh yeah, that other thing. I really hoped Sarlag would be the one going to Tribal so we'd all be even. Perfectly balanced, as it should be. They need to kaYAK out of here. But I don't know how they'd do that. Mongolia is landlocked. Anyway, them going to Tribal would also give the chance to flush the idol or narrow down the options of who could have it. And for some reason, they're personality type is the one that doesn't appeal to me as much, so on prima facie it might be harder for me to talk to them.

Hm, what else is there to say... Well, I've got an exam tomorrow from 9am to 12:10pm AEDT so I'm glad I have an ORG day off but I have less time to prepare for the swap, especially with Bradley and the tribe. If I don't finish the exam early, I might be late for the actual swap and I wouldn't be ready enough to talk to my new tribemates! It's exciting to swap and meet other people, though. Okay, but watch there not be a swap tomorrow and we get Drop our Expectations'ed™. I would be shooketh

🎵 Who is the best tribe in the Land of the Blue Sky? It's a-Mori! First place in each challenge, except for Free Simon, it's a-Mori! Bradley and Jerome, Logan, Tal and Patrick, they're a-Mori! But will they be swapped and get totally FUCKED, bye a-Mori! Time for NuMori! 🎵

"sarlag"

- Ok, so we were undefeated so far....nice.....

Also, it's pretty much confirmed either Logan or Randy had the idol, but since I'm feel like tribe swap is coming at this point, Imma just wait till our new tribe is announce.

Side note, I'm feeling worn out af. Hope I can sit out next challenge.

"gatsuur"

- Ugh, this fucking SUCKS! I did so good at the crossword but unfortunately, Ruth struggled with it. I want to say I was done in 9 minutes but then it took another 9 minutes to help her finish hers. It sucks because the other two tribe members didn’t even offer to participate :/ and Ruth told me that Jake wants to vote me out which is stupid because I’m better at challenges I think than some of the others here. I’m not mad at Ruth though and she is still my number one ally so far in this game. We are going to try to get Jacob to vote with us and that would be best case scenario. If not, it ties, and I hope Ruth goes to rocks for me. I’m hoping one of us can get the idol with our last guesses before tribal council too, because I have a feeling there might be a swap after this. Thanks to Ruth I have two of the three numbers in the combination (8-47-?) so if Ruth can get the third number with her last guess tomorrow, than I can get the idol with my guess.

"gatsuur"

- So we lost another immunity and it sucks ass. I was hoping we would get third or something but we didn't. Oh well it looks like it will be Megan's time to go. I have to trust Ruth and Jacob to vote for Megan. Megan doesn't really talk much and she has been very quiet so I don't think it's best idea to keep her when we have no clue if there will be swap or not.

"gatsuur"

- I take it back. It looks like that I am the one who is going home. Like there is no other way that they would tell Megan that I voting for her unless they the biggest idiots. It must have been Ruth doing this cause once I told her that Megan knows, she stopped replying to me so there is really shady things going.

"gatsuur"

- OKAY THIS IS SUCH A MESS JAKE THINKS RUTH'S LYING TO HIM AND MEGAN JUST DECIDED TO TELL JAKE THAT SHE'S VOTING HIM FOR WHATEVER REASONS??? sorry for the all caps but this tribal has legit gone into flames

"gatsuur"

- Ruth is telling me that she never said a word to Megan. Megan knows a damn lot for not being told anything by anyone, does the girl have a camera that she is spying everyone? Is she some kind of witch or what? The only thing I know that I don't trust Ruth at all.

"gatsuur"

- i'm legit going to go insane over this tribal i swear, i hate doing this to jake but ugh

"tarvaga"

- So the idol was already found so that’s slightly annoying but what kind of player would I be if I didn’t have a backup plan. Operation Seeded Paranoia. What I’ve done is told Landen and Kyle what I’ve found and that the idol is gone, Landen seemed disappointed but Kyle seemed betrayed that whoever found it didn’t tell him, and so now he says he trusts me the most! Just like that I’m back in his good graces. See the plan works like this, get everyone paranoid about the idol to the point where everyone accuses each other of having it hopefully resulting in whoever having the idol admitting that they have it. If I couldn’t get it in my possession I need the person who has it to see it as a giant burden.

"gatsuur"

- i'm just like being spun into multiple directions rn everybody trusts me and wants my vote and i'm like help me. i never wanted to be in this spot

"tarvaga"

- Okay, so Kyle and I are working together again. He got the idol like two days ago and just didn’t have a chance to tell me. I know he never had any ill intentions, so I probably shouldn’t have been planning his demise, but it’s fine. I’m going to talk to Landen and Liam about how Kyle has the idol and how sketchy he’s being, and how he’s blaming it on Liam. Little do they know I’m going to be playing double-agent and getting them to vote for Kyle so we can cancel their votes and decide which of those two goes home. The stage is set, I’d just like to know when I’m going to be nominated for my Oscar?

"tarvaga"

- So me and Evan talked about the idol incident.

I wanted to tell Evan about it but got a little worried about telling Landen. Evan came to me and said Liam also had the clue, but got it before I did.

So my ass is thinking Landen was sharing his clues to Liam. So now Me and Evan are trying to create a story and pull the blame onto Liam having the idol to try to create ciaos (spell check) in the alliance.

RN me and Evan are trying to come up with a plan, to possibly blindsiding Landen cause we truly believe he's playin both sides. We also keep saying how smart he is on top of that.

"tarvaga"

- I bit of me is like PANICKING, because I didn't expect all of this to happen by just being gone.

Liam want's me out and OOF, I suspect LANDEN TO SIDE WITH HIM AND I REALLY DON'T WANT HIM TOO.

So I'm gonna just try and do my best and try to make him believe Liam is lying.

I also have this paranoia in myself thinking that Evan is working with Landen and trying to get me out. Like trying to make me use my idol and waste it on nothing.

But my gut is like, your being stupid Kyle, stfu. You wouldn't do that. You two are like two peas in a pound. Why you being so worried

"gatsuur"

- Day 10 - Oh my God! This tribe is so pathetic, we can't win any challenges, it feels like this tribe is the second Luzon. This challenge was so important and we really needed this victory because all 4 of us are quite tight so voting one of them would be like a tragedy. And the worst scenario happened! I actually have an alliance with Jake and Jacob but in the last minute me and Jacob decided to change the vote turning it from Megan to Jake. Megan is actually very chill personality, she could make good conncections with opposite tribe mates so taking her to the swap would be better idea. I feel so bad for Jake, I actually love him and I didn't want this to happen. But this is survivor and sometimes you should forget your emotions and play just as hard as you can. Voting Jake out is a strategic move not a personal one. BTW, Jake also started telling me that I could be lying to him so I was WTF dude, you're hesitating if I'm loyal enough and you're asking me to stay tight. Sorry, satan. This is SURVIVOR!

"gatsuur"

- Ruth is honestly triping so much for no fucking reason and it annoys me. The girl is unable to see a simple joke and she goes to this cospiracy theory about me being a satan and that I want her out and while I do want her out, she doesn't need to know that. She makes me really re-think my desicion.

"sarlagDay 10! I guess that means over 25% of the game is done, right?

Besides math, I'm very happy we avoided tribal once again, but it could put us in a dangerous position if we swap (and we probably will tomorrow). The others could think that if all 5 of us make it to the merge, we'll create a big Sarlag alliance and dominate. The funny thing is our tribe chat is dry af, and I'm not even speaking that much with the others, aside from Logan C, who's definitely my number 1 in the game.

For now, my plan going into a possible swap is to keep the target off our numbers, and I plan on doing so by doing 2 things: 1) Put a bigger target on the Mori tribe for their performance in the challenges, which has been superior to any other tribe. 2) Trash-talk the other Sarlag members in order to make the others feel like we were NOT a big happy family and that there's a lot of dust under this purple carpet.

If that doesn't work and Sarlag is indeed a target, I'll have no problem voting for Ty or Jack to prove the past is the past. I may also think about voting for Randy if it comes down to it, but I hope it doesn't."

- Carlo

"sarlag"

- Sorry I having been posting as many of these as I'd like to I'm really sick right now. But I'm pretty sure swap is gonna happen today which I'm happy about but also not happy because all I want to do is lay in bed with my eyes closed until I get better. Some things that have happened: I don't think Randy had as much trust in me since the whole idol thing. Although he came up with a way to tell each other who we are working with across tribes using the parchments. Which I don't really like the idea of giving them that information as of right now I don't think I will do it. But I agreed to it so he would send me his at least. He also told me looped Jack on on it which was surprising to me I would of thought he would of said Carlo but oh well. Carlo came to me yesterday telling me the idol was gone and that it was okay if I had but didn't want to tell him. So I told him I didn't have it and that Randy had already told me was gone too. He was also worried that if I had the idol and he knew it was gone it be reason for me to vote him out. And I told him not to worry that he is the last person that I'd want to get rid of even if I did have the idol. I told Jack number 38 was in the combo yesterday in hopes of gaining some trust from him. I'm ready to meet some new people and hopefully improve my gameplay from the last time I played.

"tarvaga"

- AAAAH!!! I hope I didn't miss this, I wanna get this out really quick so I'mma make it really quick. I fought hard for that idol but unfortunately SKETCHY behavior means it had already been found. I'm like, 99% sure it was Evan that found it and is lying to us, because you know how I feel about him and his chart activity was really sus, among like, a million other things. But anyway I've been having really good game conversations with Liam and Kyle and as usual, I'm still at the top of this tribe as the core of it all. Everyone trusts me and I'm really happy about that, too bad it's about to get taken away from me in a swap HUH??? xD But no, um, Evan has the idol and that's dangerous af. I trust Liam to be a loyal number in my pocket way more than I trust Evan to do so, so even if by some offchance Kyle has the idol, it's fine because I trust him to not use it against me.

So yeah, alliances are shifting, the game probably is too, I'm panicking to rush this confessional out, oh yeah, nice job me and Kyle OWNING the word search! Shocked we didn't get first. So that's all from the DisasterPrince, seeya next time!

- Well I did not see that coming in the tribal results, who I think should stay in the game should be Vojta but I got a feeling that Jacob and Ruth are gonna screw Vojta, if they were smart they would vote out Megan but who ever gets voted out it will effect this game in many ways.

- So me and Landen had a conversation.

and he told me how He actually thinks EVAN has it. Landen also talks about he he is kinda over Evan and his aggressive game play. and Highkey wants to work with Liam more than Evan with me tagged along. (Landen told me how he 100% trusts me, and even if I do have the idol but don't want to tell him. He wouldnt be upset.) So this makes me feel better cause I feel like I'm in a good position.

He talked to me about how Evan is an explosive player and taking him out will be better for our game. But, I trust Evan more than I trust Liam because Evan told me that Liam was wanting to stack the numbers against me to get me out. Also, me and Evan are like CLOSE rn. I can't do that to him. Yes he's wild, but I'm wild to and we make the game fun for eachother!

BUTTTTT, Now Evan want's to throw this next challenge and try to get Landen out in in a blindside by using the Idol on him or me. Which to me is something I don't wanna do so early.

I don't wanna throw the challenge, cause I rather use the Idol during a better time. Than wasting it on Someone who trusts me.

I don't think I'm gonna tell Evan that Landen wants him out rather than Liam, and that he suspects Evan having the Idol. Cause that will make Evan want to throw the challenge more. So for right now, I'm just gonna have to let Evan think they want to target me, and have Landen still suspect that Evan has the idol.

Thankfully Landen is not a big fan of throwing challenges. So I'm not gonna throw it and so isn't Liam (If we don't happen to switch). Like I'm fine throwing one challenge but if it's like all the time. No. My competitive side gets the best of me.

Anyways, I think I got myself in a great position, and having the two of them tell me there sides and fully trusting me makes me feel great.

- Tribal Council #3 - Gatsuur Results: Ok uwu... a bit of a shocker. Two votes each for Vojta and Megan, extending the time we have in our original tribes! But the direction the votes went were a little weird. It appeared that it was a consensus boot for Vojta, but Megan self-voted for God knows why, tying the votes up and causing a re-vote. One thing I'd say is that Vojta might feel isolated from his tribe for being voted for if he didn't see it coming, but they might still be close due to all their voting parchments seeming really positive and not really being okay with voting somebody out. "Our fave belarussian legend", "Nothing personal =(", "I love you <3", and "This is the hardest voting" - I almost feel sorry for them. Looks like Vojta got spared by Megan's self-vote, and it's going to be interesting how this vote shakes out. Will Jacob and Ruth stick to voting Vojta, or will they switch to Megan due to that self-vote?

Either way, we need to make plans for the swap. It's about to happen. It's been delayed for a bit, but the doubt that the Swap won't be after this Tribal Council is almost gone. And Bradley and I already have ideas.

Preparing for the Switcheroo: The first thing Bradley put out there was the suggestion of telling Tal and Logan that the idol has been taken (Wait... I don't know if I've talked about this yet on here but I feel like I have) to maintain tribe unity. It would get Tal and Logan to trust us, but not trust the other contestants. I really don't like shutting down ideas, but I told Bradley that I think we're already strong as a tribe, and that it might expose us as a big duo. But my main reason was that I already lied to Tal about not finding a number for the idol, so how would I know that it's been taken?

Bradley and I also promised that if the swap is determined by picking numbers (I doubt it, though), we'd take odd numbers for some reason. Bradley then asked what we'd do in the worst shituation possible (end up in different tribes) and I just gave a really generic answer of surviving until we meet again. But then he planned for us to ally with the girls because of gender imbalance and that they're on the outs. (He also said this in a voice message, and I had to put my volume up to hear but once the message finished it automatically went back to playing my music in a BLAST and ow my poor ears.) I guess that works. I can't go into it much without sounding slightly sexist from my point of view so I'll leave it. My idea is that we should just be with Gatsuur. It's not just girls on the outs in this season, it's Gatsuur. They'll be looking for support most likely. Also, Gatsuur seems nice and closer to Mori in personality than the dominant Sarlag, so I'll think we'll be an easier group for them to be with, and then to target the others.

Then Bradley had another idea (in a voice message again, and I didn't learn, my poor ears) to actually throw Tal and Logan (just Logan for me) under the bus in order to bring us further for more votes, enough to survive. He explained the perception of being weaker will encourage the others to take us further along the game, and it's done by decreasing our original tribe numbers. I mean, I guess that works since I had the same mentality with the Gatsuur! But he also outlined the con of being caught throwing our former tribem8s under the bus if they tell them to Tal and Logan. There are a lot of considerations within this plan. He also claimed it may just be ramble since it was late in the night for him. But still, there are a whole lot of plans out there for this swap. There should be more to discuss.

Also, the idol is a worry! While Mori may be the strongest tribe, Sarlag members might be the strongest to dominate this premerge, especially when they might have an idol! (Watch me be dumb and one of Tarvaga or Gatsuur or even Logan A have it.) But it's all part of the game.

Anyway thank you for listening make sure to comment like and subscribe and make sure to PUMMEL that notification bell so you can be updated and notified of when my confessionals will be posted okay have a good one mate-os

- Using these last couple of hours to strengthen my relationship with Carlo as much as I can incase we get put on to different tribes. I told him I feel sketched out by randy and he feels shady, and i was i know you kind of thought of him as a number but like i got to be open about my gut feeling even it puts me in a weird spot in your eyes. And he agreed with me that he has been thinking randy is sketchy and could throw us under the bus, and that he's releaved that he wasnt the only one thinking it. So that conversation went super well. Still dont think i want to tell him about the idol i have a feeling he is being genuine with me but id rather not take a chance i dont have to. As of swap strategy I'm thinking of possible thing i could do to create targets on other people instead of me, since i have a good feeling all of my tribe are going to have targets on are back because we are the only tribe with 5 people left. I'm thinking i could create rumor that someone has an idol or create a rumor saying someone told me you have the idol. Could be pretty rewarding of a rumor if i guess right, but very risky. Also could start a rumor about two people being close without knowing if they really are, because doesn't really matter if they are or aren't, perception is reality, paint a good enough picture and it becomes the truth.
