Special Shout Out to Double Agents/Confessionals

"maui"

- Sooo as kind of expected, Maui lost the immunity challenge pretty badly. I really didn’t want to have to deal with a double tribal council, it’s just too much stress and anxiety that’s just not worth it. While conversation is a bit slow to get going, eventually it picks up and the theme of the tribal emerged to be Nick vs. Roisin, going back to a fight they had on the old Villains tribe after the Estefana vote. This is actually great for me, because getting Roisin out would be awesome after she screwed us over in the last vote. Plus, this will hopefully keep my name of the chopping block, so I won’t have to worry too much about being vulnerable tonight. Furthermore, by aligning with the anti-Roisin Villains, this throws me into the majority, even if David, Alexandra, and Declan flip to work with Roisin! Wonderful.

The plan that ends up emerging is 8-4 against Roisin, with David, Alex, and Declan flipping to her. However, with the idol probably being used on Roisin, I was worried that we’ll just end up with another Ally situation, and I really don’t want to make that same mistake. Therefore, I wanted to put some of the vote onto one of David, Alex, and Declan! Rob and I start to plan to have him, me, Claire, and Evan secretly switch our votes, only telling the other four right before the deadline, in order to not burn bridges with them, just to make it look like it was a last minute decision. We also just don’t want one of them to flip to the other side or leak information or anything.

However, it’s just not that simple. I tell the plan to Claire, and she instantly goes off and tells Marie, which just destroys the whole plan. I’m trying to explain to her why not keeping it secret was a horrible idea (need to minimize the chance of a leak or flip), but she apparently can’t comprehend basic strategy. She’s too concerned with burning bridges with the rest of the 8 (even though we were going to tell them before the vote our plan), and then criticizes me for not looking far ahead when she’s the one not focusing on the current vote right in front of her. It’s actually just so frustrating that she did that, and essentially just caused the entire, unnecessary mess that followed. I’m also just concerned that she might start going around and being like, “Oh, John wanted to lie to you and switch the vote, but I made them include you, how great am I! Let’s vote John out now because he’s a backstabbing liar.” Like no, I was just trying to save their asses, so you better not go off saying that.

Claire wants to pile all the votes onto one person (and continuously insists on doing so even after we explain to her why that would not be safe because of the idol and the Ally situation, but again unable to comprehend basic strategy). Instead, we plan on now working with the 8 to split the votes across Roisin and David, so that the vote is 4-4-4, and if they use an idol or it ties, then we can just pile votes onto Roisin (or David if she plays an idol). We do girls on Roisin, guys on David, and buckle down for results.

And of course, it just doesn’t work out. For some inane reason, Maya decides to flip and vote for Marie with David, Alex, Declan, and Roisin, and so Marie is voted out 5-4-3. This is just absolutely ridiculous. All Maya did was put herself on the bottom of our tribe with David, and to do what, save the most hated person in the game, who’s also starting fights now in the One World chat? I’m so pissed off with so many people right now. Maya, as above, for flipping just to screw herself over in the future.

Second, Roisin, for being a bitch in the tribe chat, calling everyone out and just generally trying to sound tough like “don’t come for me bitch when you have pregames!” LIKE SHUT THE FUCK UP NO ONE CARES ABOUT THESE PEOPLE’S PREGAMES YOU EVEN KNOW DECLAN IN REAL LIFE AND PROBABLY CHEAT WITH HIM AND SHOW HIM SCREENSHOTS AND STUFF LIKE SHUT UPPPPP OH MY GOD I’M SO ANNOYED WITH HER!!! I just wanted to tell her to stfu in the group chat but that would’ve killed my social game so instead I’m gonna do it here so she can see after the season! Her logic is just so ridiculous (people in the ORG Hall of Fame instantly having a pregame? Okay yeah because that’s how alliances form) and she tries to come off as so confident and like tough when she just sounds sooo pathetic and extra! Like honey you’re still on the bottom and will be leaving quite soon! Omg I can go on and on I’m so sick of her, she needs to leave.

Third I’m really annoyed with Claire for even causing this whole mess in the first place. She even has the gall to complain to me afterwards that she’s screwed on her tribe, and that we should’ve just piled the votes on Roisin in the first place. Like, I’m sorry, who was the one who started this whole mess? Oh right, you, when you went off and told Marie something that was not to be told to her. She got herself into her mess, and she’ll have to get herself out of it because it’s not my fault she’s on the bottom of her tribe now.

Overall I’m just pretty frustrated with how this game has been going for me. This is two votes in a row where I haven’t been able to pull off a successful strategy, and here I even tried to learn from the Ally vote to use the split vote but just failed. Everyone is also just really annoying me and none of these moves are making any sense to me. Our next immunity challenge is making an SOS signal, which I am not good at (I can do graphic design, but not like drawing or anything), so I’ll just try and lay back and not come across as a challenge threat. Nevertheless we better win, because I am not dealing with yet another tribal and another 24 hours of stress again.

"kanaloa"

- WOW. That tribal council was absolutely insane from an outside perspective. Supposedly, they were splitting 4-4 between David and Roisin, and they were expecting 4 votes to go on whoever David, Alexandra, Roisin, and Declan were voting... unfortunately that didn't work out too well since Maya flipped over to vote with those four... I knew Maya was the weakest number we ""had"" on OG Heroes, so I'm not really surprised. Roisin going off on the supposed premade might've helped my game though- because guess who wasn't mentioned? *raises hand*. And to top it off, Sora kinda got mad over the accusation- which may have helped my position on my current tribe, because Jordan brought up the supposed premade before the tribal and asked my thoughts on it. So the fact that Sora got mad over the accusation could make Jordan and the other villains on my tribe feel that he's better connected than me- which idk he could be? So he may be a bigger target should we go to tribal council! Tate also seems a bit concerned from when we talked on call, since all the other villains were supposedly sharing who they were guessing for the idol- and he was the only one not included. So, as I said in my other confessional, I think either Mackie or Audrey has the idol- and I'm leaning more towards Audrey- so no bueno since even Tate has said that she doesn't want to work with me. So basically my prayer is that we win, and that Maui loses because then I think they will be able to vote out David with no problem- though supposedly Roisin or Declan have an idol- so they will have to be careful about whether that gets passed over to him or not. <3

"pele"

- I'm really in a fucking madhouse.

MAYA WYDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD, I'll first say if I wanted to explain what happened during the last vote I'd have to write you a HARRY POTTER NOVEL, butttt anything that could've gone wrong in this game, HAS GONE WRONG, and at this point, the only light I have in this game is the fact I'm here, and still have close friends I cherish. I'm waiting for Maya to flip but, quite frankly, there's a more pressing matter right now.

I'm down 3-2 over here if we're going off the last vote and honestly .. it HADDD TO BE THE FUCKIN DESIGN CHALLENGE NOW. Does it behoove Declan and Roison (pregame bffs XD) to do shit? NEIN. Can Claire design..? NEIN. Is it up to me..? JA.

Nick's tribe needs to submit bullshit for this challenge. If the hero and villain bottom feeder squad, who I may add, got in that spot because of their own choices/decisions/gameplay, want to go on their bullshit narrative, then quite frankly I think Nick/Rob need to draw a line in that sand, throw that challenge, and S P L I T between David and Maya. There's no reason for me to go to tribal bc me or Claire are gone, and there's no reason for Sora to go to tribal bc his idol will be flushed and Lexi will probably go.

I'm going to try my best to get my PICASSO on overnight, but if all else fails, I have only 2 lifelines. One is Alexandra. She told me I was a target while waiting for the votes but she changed it and .. I feel inclined to believe her? Me Nick and Rob were all wayyyy better targets than Marie and yeah, idk, maybe she wanted to insert herself as a swing. But the second is Claire, who feels really guilty about putting us in this spot, I don't want her to take all the blame but she's saying she's willing to get voted out over me and that she'd ask for it if it comes down to that doomsday scenario. Don't think words can justify how appreciative I am for that, but for now I have a mission and it's to avoid tribal and find new life at a swap. Again.

Believe.

"pele"

- I still can't believe we fucking pulled that off. Special shout out to double agents Claire and Evan. Thanks for keeping me safe.

"kanaloa"

- HI JACE. I AM MAKING A CONFESSIONAL FOR YOU. SO, I went HARD writing this story for my tribe for the explanation. My thought process is that even if our flag is not exactly the best out of the three, that our explanation will make up for it and show our creativity and effort that was put into this challenge. Now, do my ideas work? Not usually. But I'm going to have faith that this one will pay off. We may not have Nick, or apparently Evan who has a good one- but we do have Sora and a story. So hopefully that is good enough! In my story I highkey had me and Audrey working together as a way to like maybe get that idea in her mind that it's totally possible for us to work together successfully. (Even if it's just by getting an octopus to the beach, in a story). I really really REALLY hope we win this challenge. If we don't win, I'm pretty positive it's either me or Sora leaving, depending on who they believe has an idol... Now I'm hoping they all like me enough and the Sora being in the premade accusation will help me to where I'm able to survive this round! Lexi going hard two challenges in a row? I'm not helping my challenge beast reputation here, am I?

"maui"

- I am not throwing a single challenge. If my tribe loses, my tribe loses. I love these people that I am working with, but maybe they are bad for my game. I cannot be held down by a solid group, I usually play this game as a free agent and I need to let myself do that here. Indirectly cutting ties is my best plan. This will let me be the middle person in alliances or form new ones that can benefit me, not an alliance.

"maui"

- Marie got voted out last tribal! Yes our plan worked. I feel like she will be dangerous later in the game.

The reason why I decided to flip was because the plan was supposed to go for Roisin and the split votes was either Nick or Declan. I was totally fine with it. But it got changed last minute to David without my consent?? Oh no I won’t let the risk of him going home took off. I promised him to not write his name and if his name came up, I will do something. Also, I want to try to bring some loyalty to the table towards Four Horsemen.

I’m here returning to this game to prove I can make my own decision and after that I can proudly say that the decision is my own will and I will own it. I know I have no solid alliances yet, but I hope I can slither through the way.

Right now in Maui, I’m just going to lay low and explain to the people why I changed the votes. If we happen to go to the tribal I won’t be showing off much aggression in deciding the votes.

"kanaloa"

- IM SO MAD.

THE SPLIT VOTE PLAN FUCKED UP BECAUSE PEOPLE DIDNT FILL MAYA IN 100%. MARIE WENT HOME AND WAS ONE OF THE VILLAINS WHO PROBABLY TRUSTED ME. ROISIN THINKS SHES SOME BAD BITCH. MY TRIBE IS LEGITIMATELY TRYYYING ME RIGHT NOW.

- Okay so the split vote plan fucking up i feel kind of responsible for even though I just orchestrated the plan, ONCE AGAIN, the underlings manage to fuck it up. I was drunk so that's why I was barely online at the time, but I'm devastated that Marie left for a number of reasons. For one she didn't fucking deserve it (which isn't a real argument), but she was robbed. But I feel like her going is like the scene from every typical suspense movie. I'm the girl taken and trapped somewhere, Marie was the police officer or secondary character who arrived and tried to save me, and her getting voted off is the equivalent of the killer/captor murdering them. In this case that killer is that combo of people who did so.

Marie going is awful, she was someone I wanted to work with down the line but also the villain who was vouching for me and subtly convincing the villains here to help me out. It just sucks because I feel like after today it's just not gonna happen.

SPEAKING OF WHICH. Today the challenge was design, which I figured I'd have to design it since I won the flag challenge. I however did not anticipate doing, EVERYTHING. Literally I did every single fucking thing with the picture, like even the little things I asked the villains for help with they ignored. Lexi the angel she was did the written part, but it was just extremely disheartening to see that after all these rounds that I'm STILL on the bottom and STILL making no progress. I've been trying my hardest here socially strategically and physically and it just sucks to see it's still not good enough for them.

I'm not gonna give up as cheesy as that sounds, I've been an underdog before and nothing's changed. I still just need to keep trying and maybe something can crack or go my way, I just can't let my own head be the death of me.

"kanaloa"

- OH MY FREAKING GOSH. This immunity idol is like my saving grace right now. As much as I love everyone on my tribe, I'm in the minority. So as long as my tribe keeps holding on to this idol, it guarantees me a few more days here in this game. Right now, that's really all I can ask for. Sora and I basically did everything this challenge. Jordan gave a suggestion and Audrey corrected some grammar in my story, but that's it. Sora and I knew that we'd be in danger if we lost- so we basically had to make damn sure that we didn't. And you know what? We fucking did that. Sora and I basically single-handedly won our tribe this challenge. Everyone is saying that I'm the reason we won the scavenger hunt as well. I've been putting in so much work to these challenges- and to see all my effort paying off like, makes me feel so good about everything. Like I'm literally in tears right now because of it. It's so much more than I could've wanted. I really am so proud of my tribe- and we're gonna keep dominating. I'll write more about the vote later <3

"maui"

- fuck i hate this, third tribal council in a row surrounded by my conspirators. this game is so depressing at times but honestly i have gotten through a lot worse so far than a tribal like this. I'm just sad cause I'm essentially certain that someone who has to play 2 idols within their first 4 tribals cannot not go on to reach the end :( long road ahead of me!! I'm having so fun with declan and alexandra though, not ready to go home!! this has been such a mess i wish i was just in like johns position lying low and not needing to talk strategy to get ahead

"maui"

- Claire approached me about throwing the challenge, since she and Evan on Pele and Sora and Lexi on Kanaloa would be instant targets were they to lose, both being under Villains + David/Ali/Declan majorities. I didn’t really want to at all, just because I thought it too risky of a plan. Tribal has not been working out for me at all recently and I just really don’t wanna go through that stress again. Plus, I asked the hosts if I would be allowed to just submit like a flag on my own and not be called out by name for it, but Eddie said we needed the whole tribe’s approval, so that plan was instantly scratched, because publicly throwing it just puts a massive target on my back.

Of course, though, we just end up losing anyway. I’m soooo salty omg, nothing is going well for me in this game and I just want to avoid the stress of tribal after tribal. This is four cycles in a row now, not counting Will’s removal, that I’ve gone to tribal, and I’m just really not happy with this. I just want to have a relaxing day off in this game! Ugh.

To plan for this tribal, me, Rob, Dani, and Nick made an alliance, Maui Mayhem, to strategize on how to most effectively get out one of David or Maya. The big issue here is whether we pile or split. Piling failed with the Ally vote because of an idol (which we’re worried about, with Declan’s possible idol), and splitting failed with the Marie vote because of a flipper (which we’re worried about, in Dani). If we pile, David or Maya could use an idol and one of the four of us will leave 2-0; if we split, someone could flip and the vote will be 3-2-1 against us. Rob and I discussed possibly leaving Dani out on this vote just in case she flips and making it 3-2-1 against one of David or Maya by aligning with Nick, but that could burn bridges with Dani, or make us targets in this vote if Nick leaks it to Dani beforehand. Plus, that’s basically the same move as piling, since it would just be a 2-1-0 vote if David or Maya play an idol. Basically, there are no good options, and I have no clue what we’re going to do yet, but I know I’ll probably get screwed over at the end of this anyway.

"kanaloa"

- OKAY- so I'm going out of state this weekend, and I'm leaving like, any second now- but I wanted to kinda give my thoughts on what I want to happen this vote. So I already messaged one of John/Rob about this (I forget which but tbh they both kinda blend together for me? Oops), but theoretically, they have the numbers to do a 2-2-2 split. Obviously David and Maya are going to stick together after Maya flipped last vote so who knows who they might vote for? Now, the other hope is that Danielle and Nick team up with John and Rob- which I trust Nick would do after Roisin called him out... David is one of Roisin's only allies, so taking him out is going to help get her out later on. So then theoretically, we have a foursome of John, Rob, Danielle, and Nick. So if they split 2-2, they'll be covered in case of any idols. Now whoever I talked to said that they trust them more than everyone the previous vote, so I have faith! Now, of course my hope is that they take out David- but I've heard either Roisin or Declan has an idol. So it's totally possible that they pass it to David and screw Maya over, or they could just keep it for themselves. I guess we'll have to see though! <3

"pele"

- Yeah .. that SOS?? YOU KNOW, THE TRIBEEEE CHALLENGE, SOMETHING THAT'S SUPPOSED TO BE WORKED ON AS A U N I T ....???? I HAD TO DO ALL THAT SHIT

Okay sry for the OTT moment but literally like .. I'm both so fucking relieved and so PISSED at the same time. To the surprise of no one Declan/Roisin/Alexandra didn't want to do diddly shit on the challenge and it's whatever, me and Claire were the ones at their mercy but all I'll say here is this is not how you fucking treat people in the minority, bc you better believe we'll get our #victimnoise card on. I get it like .. they have no incentive to want to try in this challenge so ultimately I did reach that point of shut the fuck up Evan and just give it every last fucking bit you got and ultimately that's what I did, no I don't think my SOS was a masterpiece but god damnit I'm proud of it because it got us the win, it was the only thing I did the entire day, and I can buy myself and Claire another day in this beach.

I really hope we swap at 17 with an 8-8-1 exile format, but if not, I'm going to have to carry the load one more time for this tribe, CALL ME LEBRON BC I NEED MORE HELP

"pele"

- On a side note though I'm going to give a quick shoutout to Claire for being a really steady and amazing ally to me in this game. She keeps on insisting if we do go to tribal she won't let me go home and like she would be willing to ask to be voted out over me, but also I feel like she's giving me this weird ominous message she may have the idol?? Idol or not though I'm so glad she was here this season and yeah as it stands rn if I could take her to the end, I'm gonna do it

"pele"

- Sora and Evan are going behind everyone’s back to try and get David out in this vote. I thought I could trust Evan. Now, I want to bury him... alive... in a pit of vipers.

"pele"

- I have officially decided that anything that can go wrong in this game WILL GO WRONG for me.

I got a message from Sora in the evening about how David is staying and I'm just thinking okay WELP I can't really control their votes but I'm just going to implore, I talked to Nick and well it turned into an ALL CAPS FEST REALLY QUICK, and literally not more than a half hour later I'm getting a message from Alexandra asking if me and Sora are trying to swing the vote on David..?

Just .. what the FUCK

WHAT THE ACTUAL FUCK LIKE, WHO THE FUCK BLABBED, I only talked to Nick and to a smaller degree Claire about this, my only fucking guess is Nick told Rob that me and Sora wanted this and Rob told David and David told Alex and WAM here I am getting fucked for just poking my head into something. Literally get me the fuck out of this tribe because if it's another immunity challenge Alexandra is gonna wanna throw and kill me so either I need a swap or Claire needs an idol, this entire place is a nightmare and I need the luckiest swap I can ask for

"kanaloa"

- I want to just start this confessional off, with that I'm soooo grateful to be in this game still. I've had some pretty close calls and a lot of ups and downs, but I'm still happy to be here. I count my blessings everyday that I'm still in this game.

That being said, I'm totally fucking annoyed with this game.

I feel like this is exactly what was happening in Greece, except I'm that whole a little bit older and a little bit wiser thing now. The past two FUCK UPs have been done when I was kinda not sober, so I can't fault them there, but also EXACTLY WHAT I SAID WOULD HAPPEN HAPPENED. I said we should throw votes incase of an idol in Ally's case, and last one I said if you're not confident with all the numbers just throw them on one vote and tell the people who you think are shakey you're splitting. NOW I WANT DAVID GONE AND ROB IS LIKE NO!! WHICH IS ????? DAVID has had it out for me since the original hero tribes, I'm almost certain I would've gone home if I didn't win immunity when he played the idol. I don't believe he'll stay loyal and grateful long at all, case in point how quick Roisin flipped after asking Nick for peace. David's close with her so I expect the same thing to happen. I'm getting sooooo tired of me saying what to do and me being the one to suffer for people not listening, Ally was my loss we had the double downed alliances, Marie was my connection the villains, like now Maya is in trouble and she's a good ally of mine too and I'm stick of just watching my friends go because no one will listen to me. It's frustrating even moreso because I can't even fucking do anything in this game without a target being put on my back. I stay offline for the idol hunt? No just kidding he was online and has it. I work my ass off to make sure we submit a good sos sign? It's Sora/Lexi scrambling because they don't trust what happens if we went to tribal. I'm just soooo done like I don't want to give up but this is sooo tiring, I just need something to change and change quick

"maui"

- I feel like it’s going to be me this time. Everything went so quick. I’ve tried everything pleading to these guys.

They said it’s going to be David but it feels like they are voting me instead. Me and David are trying to figure out who’s capable of flipping but our only hope who is Danielle already voted and ruin the plan. Now, we only have Nick to help us to at least get a tie or In majority in case they are splitting.

If its come down to me or David, I’d rather it to be David. I still want to play this game!

"maui"

- A quick update before tribal results! Our alliance’s final plan was to split the vote on Maya and David, where Rob and I vote David (my third time in a row!), and Nick and Dani vote Maya. We’re expecting either a 2-2-2 vote if Maya and David work together, or a 3-3 vote if they vote for each other. I’m really hoping no one flips here, because that would just shatter my hopes of doing anything in this game so much, if three successive votes go wrong for me.

Maya and David both say that they’re voting for the other, so it should be a 3-3 vote. On the revote, I’m leaning towards voting out David for his challenge performances and status as a strategic threat; I also want to break up him and Alexandra’s bond, while hopefully pulling Maya back in and rekindling a relationship with her. Dani though has said she’s set on voting Maya out on the revote, so we’ll have to see how that ends up going.

I feel really bad about this vote though, just because David and Maya both messaged me saying they’re happy they’re the ones staying. I feel really bad doing this now, but I know it’s just what has to be done. But, the fact that they both seem kinda complacent worries me, because David isn’t one to just sit back and let a vote happen unless he’s totally blind to the fact that we’re splitting the vote, so I have a bad suspicion that something really shitty is gonna happen tonight, like they’ll both play idols or I’ll get blindsided or something. I’ve been getting really paranoid with a lot of these tribals, so it could just be that stress speaking, and I’m really hoping it is, because I just want one vote to go well for me.

"kanaloa"

- Did y'all know that will was a catfish wtf
