This Is Just Peak, Crump, and Hectic/Confessionals

- Remember when I ranked mitchell third I trusted the most?! Please move him down to under roisin in the ranking. Please and thank you.

""pele"

- A big question in this tribal is whether or not Declan can be trusted. Evan felt quite confident that we could trust his vote after talking to him a bit, but I was a lotttt more hesitant. Evan even messaged me this huge thing about how he thought some of the heroes weren’t willing to work with him (which includes me tbh, I’m hesitant!), but I just need to make him think I’m willing to strategize with him and that I do trust him so that he doesn’t flip or get worried and play an idol or something. We have a group chat with the 5 solid Heroes (myeslf, Claire, Evan, Sora, and Maya), and eventually make a new one with Declan once we decide to include him in on the discussion.

With two idols possibly out there (Declan, and maybe one of Mackie and Tate), we’ll be screwed if Declan flips and tells them how we’re voting. Because of this, I kind of wanted to secretly split the vote between Declan and Tate to maybe blindside Declan (like I wanted to do with David at the Marie tribal), but that could definitely backfire on me if people felt like they were lied to or left out of the conversation. Plus, I didn’t even know who would go along with it, because I know Claire didn’t want to do it for David in the Marie tribal, and I wasn’t too sure about the rest. In the end I didn’t propose it to anyone, but I wish I could have.

Between piling and splitting, our alliance decides to split in the end. We had two ideas, splitting it 3-3 or 4-2, and while Evan was staunchly 4-2, that could backfire tremendously if there’s an idol or a flip or something. Admittedly the 3-3 split could backfire as well, but it’s just more safe. We settle on 3-3, with Claire, Evan, and Declan voting Tate, and me, Maya, and Sora voting Mackie. We also suspect that Tate and Mackie will vote for one another, so I expected a 4-4 vote, with Tate being our target on the revote.

Results though were surprising. It ended up being 5-3 against Tate, with likely Sora flipping. (I looked at the handwriting on different parchments, and the other Mackie vote was consistent with votes from Maui tribals, thus that must have been Maya’s vote, and Sora the flipped one.) I suspect he might have had some issue with Tate to make him vote like this, but I’m incredibly upset that he went behind everyone’s back to do this (unless he told some of the other Tate voters…?). I feel incredibly alienated from him now, and definitely cannot trust him as much in the future unless he has a really great excuse. Honestly, I kind of want him to get voted out now, and if I can find a way to get that done, I’ll jump on it instantly.

Tate, in his final words, brings up my name, in that my game isn’t being respected and that I’m “waiting for a crack to open up at merge,” which is just blatantly false. I counter back a bit telling him pointedly not to make assumptions about my game, and that I’m quite happy working with my alliance. To be honest though, I kind of agree that I need to do something soon, especially with Sora showing that he’s willing to lie to his allies like this. Perhaps I will flip, if it’s in my best interests.

In other news, I got a message from Roisin of all people during the tribal. And not just any old message, I got literally an essay about the pregame alliance she thinks exists. It’s kind of just more of her pregame propaganda, but it kind of is starting to get into my head a little bit, especially after Sora doesn’t tell me (and others?) about him flipping. Perhaps he is loyal to other people more than me, and there’s a much tighter group that I’m just a side ho for. I don’t know, I feel like I need to do something to make my game stand out from here on out, especially if I’m being perceived by others as a goat or weak player. The thing is, I don’t know if making a huge move is even good for my game, but if an opportunity arises, maybe I’ll take it up!

{{" "{{quote|pele|I swear to fuck I must be cursed. Everyone that works with me gets voted out. I mean fuck first Ally, then Marie even, then David, then Danielle, now Tate? Every single one of those people was interesting in working with me to some extent, Marie maybe not long term but fuck man. I feel the argentina vibes creeping up on me and I'm just.. well you know I'm kind of Happy about it!!

I play the best from the bottom and I'm on the bottom of my tribe. But theres a difference here. once I hit merge I have set myself up with as many options as there are people and I truly think I will become a powerful vote. My only concern is how strong my social game is being perceived but I think I can subdue that by trying to utilize meat shields. I'm playing up the alone down in the dumps act but in all honesty I am not the slightest bit concerned that I will make merge or do damage in this game. I've put my heart and mind into every day on this Island and I truly am here to finish the job I didn't finish last time. I will win this season if its the last damn thing I do. |Mackie}}" "{{quote|kanaloa|Okay, so last night I was told some VERY interesting gossip from Jordan... Basically, Rob is going around trying to form two alliances- one with Alexandra, Nick, and Roisin, and another with Jordan, Mackie, and Sora. He heard of the first one from Alexandra, and heard of the other from Mackie, around the same time. Earlier yesterday, Rob messaged me saying he wouldn't vote for me.... yet why did he not approach me for an alliance?????? I don't know if this is true, but I'm pretty ready to believe Jordan. This all adds up to being VERY bad for Rob if we go to a Tribal Council. Speaking of Tribal Council- I'm SO upset over Tate leaving. Tate was like, the one person that I consider myself close to from outside the game. We were on call before the results were posted and he was mega upset with Declan either not playing his idol, or at least flipping to give them some semblance of numbers, Supposedly Maya was on board, but Declan said he wanted to wait to see if some cracks develop at merge- but tbh at merge at this rate... it's going to be too late. I'm so conflicted right now- I REALLY do not want Mackie to leave, but he literally told me that if my tribe through and I left trying to protect him, he would be so upset. And to be honest, I really don't want to risk going to a Tribal Council, but at this rate- I'll be dead after the merge regardless. I have a lot to think about while this next challenge is happening. <3|Lexi}}" "{{quote|pele|I talked to Sora about why he flipped, and he said mainly it was for personal reasons, that back on their old tribe after the first swap, Tate never talked to him, didn’t play his best in immunity challenges, and generally acted sort of douchey with regards to his power on the tribe. While I told him that I was fine with it because he would’ve left on the revote anyway, I’m really still pretty upset that he went behind everyone’s backs like that. I know Nick did it in the David vote, but that was at least a strategic decision since David was trying to get me out; Nick did that in my best interest. Sora made a selfish and emotional decision, and I really can’t respect that. So as I mentioned in my last confessional, I will still be on the lookout for him!

We also have a new immunity challenge, and it’s of course a double tribal. I’m soooo upset because I literally just cannot get a break in this game, and I’m really sick of going to tribal as I’ve mentioned quite a few times in my previous CFs. The challenge is 20 Questions, which has a pretty basic strategy of narrowing down the possible options by half each time, which is what I tried to do as best as possible!

I first started by narrowing down the season (which took 5 questions), then asked if the person was male (they were, so now up to 6 questions), then just split the males and asked about if my person was in smaller and smaller groups of males in that season (ex. “Is this person’s first name one of __, __, __, and __?” then just a group of 2 names, and finally guessing between the 2 names leftover). I was able to narrow it down to Brandon Hantz and Albert Destrade by question 8, but guessed Brandon Hantz incorrectly for question 9 and unfortunately ended up with 10 questions. This basically means I have no shot at immunity; you need 9 to be competitive and 8 to be almost guaranteed first. I’m really pissed about this because yet again I’m heading off to tribal vulnerable, and I’m just sick of that.

After this double tribal, though, we’ll be down to 13 players, which means it might be the merge and jury! I’m really hoping it is because I’ve had zero luck in the tribal phase, and might be a lot more lucky with immunity in the merge (but probably not lol). Just hoping I can at least make it to jury, that would be awesome! But just need to get through another 24 hours of stress and paranoia first.|John}} " {{quote|kanaloa|So I've been working with the villains at this point, with the exception of Claire, Evan, Declan and sometimes Maya, but they're all on the other tribe, so whatever... See you at the merge. Here, I'm in with Audrey, Mitchell, Jordan, Roisin (even though everyone hates her), and Mackie on the other tribe. But, I keep talking to Rob because, even though I want that dude to go, like, yesterday, I need him to think that he's safe with me because he might have an idol. So, I go up to him and act all chummy and he says that he thinks he has Nick and I tell him I'm pretty sure I have Roisin. He wants to know if they'll work together. Like, you serious dude? They have been brawling this whole time, but I go up to Roisin and convince her to pretend she's cool to work with Nick. She's actually a gem and said yes. But Mitchell and Jordan have been telling me that Rob the snake has been going around shouting my name to anyone who will listen, and I don't want him to use this fake ass alliance and have it blow up in my face. So, I toodle over to Mitchell and Jordan and give them the 411. Mitchell now wants Rob out immediately, praise because he is coming for me right now. Jordan revealed to me that Rob wants to align with him, Mackie, and Sora at the merge and take everyone out. So, I toodle over to Claire and Mitchell and inform them of this treachery. Moral of the story: do not mess with Alexandra. |Alexandra}} {{quote|kanaloa|Talking over plans with alex is hard cause we need to figure out what is the best path for us? Rob hopefully gets blindsided and over here it's do I get rid of john or Sora I love them both but I need declan and Mackie in so I can have a way in with the villains |Claire}} "{{quote|pele|Right so I may do back to back confessionals but let me cover that vote first.

That vote by theory, and all principle, and by all fucking LOGIC IN THIS WORLD, should've been A CAKEWALK. And it kinda was but like .. holy hell that was a pain.

Tate and Mackie were clearly at the bottom and my only fear was if Declan wanted to be brave and pull in Maya to fight this thing, but I feel like since me/John/Claire/Sora seemed like a pretty tight voting group, I really don't feel like it behooved Declan/Maya to go to rocks for two villains they don't know often and in doing so painted the clear picture of heroes vs villains for this vote. Now if I'm being honest, I wanted Mackie gone first, but it took some convincing from Sora and deduction on my own end to realize a couple things. The first is, Tate was .. literally fucking doing nothing. His plea to stay in the game was, by all accounts, pitiful in my mind and yeah like .. if you're going to lay down and die like that, and if I know you don't have the idol bc Sora found it on Kanaloa, well, you serve me no purpose in this game. The second is, while Mackie is infinitely more cunning and crafty as a player, he's going to remain a pertinent target at a merge as a big name and someone on the opposing side, though, weirdly enough, there's a small sliver of hope where perhaps we could get this sort of game relationship going where we take the targets off each others backs. If I'm being honest, there's no way in hell I'd want him to survive even the first few votes of merge buuuut, if I continue the narrative that big threats and names should look out for each other and send the UTR players packing, I'll do so. Nowww, the second reason I figured Mackie should stay is bc I was anticipating a double tribal after this vote, which is what happened. This sounds weird but .. allow me to elaborate. I still figured Declan would want to do something tricky at a second tribal, as I figure he or Roisin still have that Pele idol, and before you know it, WAM, Claire confirms to me the guy has it and is looking to idol out John or Sora. See, if Mackie were the first to go, I really don't feel like Tate was gonna be a believable idol play for him and it would've been harder to predicate what Declan was gonna do w the idol, but now with Mackie in, he's a much more believable potential target and I feel like he's gonna be thinking he makes some big splash w the idol. Now, Claire wants him in the game still, but I'm gonna try to leverage it where if it is Sora as the target, I'm gonna tell Sora to play the idol last second so that all votes get negated BUUUT Sora's against Declan. I can make Claire believe I had no idea of it and Sora would be owing me one after. It's tricky bc those two are my closest allies but their allies are not interconnected, so I just need to continue to lay low now, reinforce my relationships with Mackie/Declan, pray for that immunity, and see if I can detonate A BOMB this tribal.|Evan}}" "{{quote|pele|Anyways, this one's gonna be a little bit more weird/personal, because honestly, I don't think I've felt like myself this entire season. Like .. I've been playing in a shell a little, playing w fear, and honestly .. at this venture of the game I need to step back and realize a couple things. I've outlasted a third of the players left in the game despite trials and tribulations. I've spent basically half this game at the bottom of a swap but escaped to new life and like .. I'm slowly starting to wake up and realize that, yeah Evan, you can do this, if you play your cards right you genuinely can run this to the end after previous feelings where every day felt like a drag and took forever to get with.

This really does mirror Retribution in a sense that I'm dealing w/ insanely bitter premergers that feel self-righteous in their own views bc they're the underdogs, they're the ones with support, but I'm going to stick to the truth I believe in and the bonds I've made this season, and not let their bullshit affect me.

A lot of my motivation this season is just being able to win again and stick it to some people, and if not, at least making a run as far as I possibly can. There's no lofty ideal here, it's just an absurd grudge against and shitty human beings and injustice.

I've definitely .. grown out of this place, and the allure of these games really isn't there anymore. Maybe I can find it along the way, but for now, I'm in this for the win and taking the people I genuinely like and trust as far as I possibly can with me. Let's roll|Evan}} {{quote|kanaloa|I'm ecstatic that Mackie stayed last round. Sora was the one who flipped and pulled a me with Tate. Tate was 100% after me and I knew it since the split vote. Him deleting me as a friend proves he's just mad he didn't get a chance to get his revenge on me but oh well! This double tribal is really nerve wrecking especially because I think were merging right after this. I'm gonna try REALLY hard to get Roisin out this round because she'll be premerge and I do not want her on the jury since I know if I make it to the end she'll just poison it by saying "I relied on my pregames!!!". So her ass needs to GO and NOW. I'm just trying to figure out how to do that. I'm also just praying she didn't win immunity, I think Rob might of won which isn't a bad thing since he might of been a target by the villains this round. If things come to it I MAY just have to idol Roisin out to get my way this round just because I don't want that bitch at the merge.|Nick}} {{quote|kanaloa|Hello little box where I can confess. So, another double tribal... joy. To be honest, I knew we had to have another at some point, so I'm not too shocked. Now normally, this is one of the challenges that I'm better at. I can normally get it in around 8 guesses... unfortunately I fucked myself over trying to take a bigger risk and I ended up taking 10 guesses. I know that I lost, because I know both Jordan and Rob got nine. I'm REALLY hoping that Rob does not win. I don't take too kindly to people forming two alliances when I am in neither. Plus he's part of the large friend group that seems to be dominating the game. We will probably have to split between Rob and Nick- if we want to get them out. We know that Declan has an idol, and we know that Sora most likely does, as well as John. So theoretically, John and Sora could pass their idols over to Rob and Nick, and then we're just screwed for a round. Mackie NEEDS to win immunity on the other tribe then. That'll at least force them to split between Declan and Maya and Declan can see how stupid his decision was last tribal. Now, up until last tribal- I mean I obviously paid attention when people mentioned the pre-made, but now that I've learned more of it's extent.... I'm honestly terrified. I don't know if my best bet is to stick with them as a loyal follower until they turn on themselves, or try to strike now. See, if Ally hadn't gone home, I'd feel a lot more comfortable kinda following along until they were ready to turn on each other. But Ally was my closest connection to them. Honestly, I REALLY want to stick with Jordan and Mackie... but I don't know that we will have the numbers come merge. Honestly though, I'd be down for voting out Rob this vote and then I could always tell the other people in the premade that he apparently tried to make two different alliances with completely different groups of people, and he didn't offer me one though he said he didn't want to vote me. Like, that's super fishy and I don't think they could really deny that it isn't. I just have my fingers crossed that Rob DOES NOT WIN IMMUNITY. <3|Lexi}}" {{quote|kanaloa|Holy shit I cannot believe I won immunity! This challenge was so important for me because I had no idea whether Jordan would truly save me! This now allows me to be bold in who I want out, cause they cannot strike back! My only two goal here are to make sure that Nick stays on my tribe and Mackie on the other. If those two happen then this week will be a complete success|Rob}}

{{quote|pele||Evan}} "{{quoteIkanaloa|Fuck me. Rob won immunity, so like... I don't know what's going to happen. Rob with all his little alliances can go sit in some corner because I can't deal with them right now. The good news though, I have a LOT of people coming up to me about the vote... either they all want to maybe work with me, or they all want to vote me out and just want to see who I'm voting to play an idol on them... that'd suck. Audrey asked how I feel about Ali- which tbh I don't care for her that much in the game? Like, she's been making more of an effort to talk to me recently. Whether this is a genuine connection, or just some attempt at survival, I'm not sure. She did ask me what I thought about the vote though. Actually I take that back - I think Audrey is just going through all the non-NuKanaloa's to see how I feel about everyone. She just brought up Roisin. So basically, I have two choices: Run with the ""pre-made"" and keep my relations high while playing myself off as a number until they turn on each other; or make a move against the pre-made now so that we could maybe gain ground for once we merge. I prefer the second option in this, but with the knowledge that this pre-made group has two idols currently.... it's hard to really contemplate. Really, I want to make merge. Then I can kind of push myself down below the drama and float, theoretically- until I can make a move to really come back at it. <3|Lexi}}" "{{quote|kanaloa|This was a VL confessional but I put it here cause Jace yelled at me

I've decided with merge potentially coming after this vote, I wanted to do an indepth while still slightly vague vl confesional to sort of let you guys know whats going on with my game, because lets face it, I have not talked to you a lot this game.

So, sometimes I find in games I have a huge issue with making myself way too big of a personality and a presence early on, and I almost made the same mistake this game with my scores early on. I got two of the highest scores in the first two challenges, and while it secured I probs wasnt going anywhere on the OG villains it worried me for later. So what I did was essentially pull a back seater from there. I've made sure to decent enough in challenges to still be seen as an asset but I havent shined in a challenge since the second one which is exactly what I want.

Something I have tried to avoid so far this game is big alliances. As of now except for one three person chat that died early on, I havent been in an alliance chat this game. Instead of working towards a group I am focusing really intently on my individual relationships with people to the point that there are a good group of people who each individually I feel very connected to and that it should be mutual. Sorry about the lack of names but i'm a bit worried of vl leaks.

With merge potentially coming up tomorrow night, I think I am setting myself up decently for it. Unless this vote goes ugly no one has anything against me or reason to target me currently. I have good relationships with enough people in big alliances to keep me safe for a little bit.

My current plan which seems to be working is that right now a lot of people seem to want my vote with them, what I plan on doing is getting myself nice and happy in the middle and letting people come to me for the first few votes, so that I can stay quiet in early merge and then ideally use those strong individual relationships to take control later in merge and set me up for the win.

I know as of now my gameplay is not that exciting but if things continue going my way like they have, I think I have a good chance to make it very far this game.

Anyways, thats an indepth analysis of my gameplay, remember to support your local Jordan Pines and that I love my fans, all 4 of you guys, you keep me young 😉|Jordan}}" "{{quote|pele|Day 20! Oh my God this is surreal. It's been a hell of journey on this season. I could be voted out on Day 14.

This kind of immunity challenge has always been my favorite since I'm not really good in flash games. It was so close but I know Declan really wanted to win this. The fact that he told me he has an idol just prove our relationship could get further. My relationship with Alexandra and Declan at this point, if I could rate it out of 10, it's still 8. They are the one whom I trust the most out of her but not to the full maximum. Us 3 know that we all got each other backs and I think I'd love to keep this relationship till the merge.

Now that we will go to the tribal, It should be an easy vote, Mackie. But I doubt it's going to be that easy. Haven't done the talking yet since no one is really here but I'm pretty sure that these people will try to make the moves right now and for me I don't want to stand out. I'll just hear what they are preaching and make sure everything is in tact. I don't care about anyone else but myself. If I heard my name comes up, I'll do something. |Maya}}" "{{quote|pele|I'm working on connections with right now, the main two are Claire and Sora. But one of them has proven for sure they can't be trusted!! Oh also I won immunity, the first of many I hope!! I think I've made the merge still perfect (0 votes against) and I saw the record was 74 days, I'm on 59 days so quite a bit away haha but if I make day 35 with no votes against me then that'd be amazing. I'm stoked to make the merge, I thought I'd be picked off, in fact I'm surprised people aren't targeting me after my recent perfect win but oh well haha :p.

Claire was working with me to idol Mackie and get a hero out. I'm not dumb, Claire framed it as her trying to protect me but I sensed she has other motives. Now I find out she told Evan I was targeting him and wants to use this tribal as a way to blindside John or Maya. Hmm!! I guess that means she wanted me to waste my idol on Mackie. How very interesting haha. I won't be doing that!!

Sora told me all of this, I really am beginning to trust him. I want him to be my new version of Jordan in Molise. Jordan and I controlled the game from opposite sides and at the moment I'm acting as Sora's rat to make him trust me haha. Claire suggested voting him and I made sure to tell Sora that. If he can look out for me and I look out for him without people noticing it'd be amazing, I'd love a repeat of Molise haha.

I'm not sure if Sora would vote with Mackie and I, maybe get Maya to vote with us too, we could do a 4-3 and protect my idol. I wanted to vote Claire but Sora made a great point that she trusts me and thinks she controls me, she'll let me know of any plans. This makes me beneficial to Claire and Sora both, my strategy in Molise was keeping people I was beneficial to because they won't want to vote me. At the moment Sora and Claire both think I'm beneficial to them so they need to stay.

I want Evan or John eliminated haha. Evan and I have an unspoken feud almost, I know he targeted me at Marie's elimination (even if Claire denies it!!) and he's mentioned voting me a few times, like last tribal. John doesn't speak strategy and I still kinda blame him for David's downfall haha, we trusted him a lot and he aligned with Claire, Ally (and somebody else I think!! Can't remember who was in that alleged alliance haha, not even sure it's true :p). I'm not beneficial to either of them so they gotta go!!

I'm viewing this game with circles in mind haha, that sounds weird but let me explain!! I have my close allies in the first circle: Jordan, Sora, Roisin. These are the people I want to go deep into the game with, I trust them a lot. Then I have the middle circle: Alexandra, Claire, Mackie, Maya, Nick, Rob. These are people I have the ability to work with in the future, I'd like them to stay but I'm not that bothered haha (especially Rob who targeted me apparently!! He's debatable in this circle). Then the outer circle: Evan, John, Lexi. These are people I want eliminated. I didn't include Audrey and Mitchell because I'm really not sure where they fit haha, maybe middle and maybe outer!! I think Mitchell's in a great position at the moment, same with Jordan, but it's very early and way too early to do anything about it.

Finally I'm most likely not using my idol this tribal. I planned to use it on Mackie and vote Evan but if Sora is to be believed, it would be a waste!! I'll make another confessional closer to the vote with updates and what I've ultimately decided haha, if Mackie needs the idol then I'll give it to him for sure.|Declan}}" "As expected, I lose the immunity challenge. Frustratingly, had I just correctly guessed between Albert and Brandon on my ninth question, I would’ve won on time over Declan (the winner) and Maya, so I’m kind of upset! Just never gonna be immune it seems, lol. Rob won over on Kanaloa, which is great because he’s definitely on the bottom! Lexi will probably end up getting voted out over there, which is too bad, but we should still have a Heroes/anti-Roisin majority going into what’s likely to be the merge after this double tribal.

As for the vote here on Pele, the easy vote is of course Mackie, and I would hope that this ends up being 6-1 against him. I’m just feeling really paranoid about this vote, since it’s been eerily silent on my end; no one’s even messaged our group chat to confirm the plan is Mackie. While I’ve talked to basically everyone to confirm that it’s Mackie tonight, I just can’t help but feel like I’m being left out of conversations and that I’ll get screwed over somehow. Mackie also hasn’t been scrambling at all, so either he’s really resigned to his fate or he has an idol and just feels super safe. I’d love to split the vote, but with six Heroes against only one Villain, and Declan having immunity, splitting the vote would require our group of Heroes to fragment, which is just really risky. I’ve survived a half trillion tribals so far, so I’m just hoping this one is no different and I can sail right into the merge! " "{{quote|kanaloa|Okay so, we have about 4 1/2 hours until the deadline. I'm feeling pretty positive about this Tribal Council, to be completely honest. It's between Roisin and Nick, as far as I'm aware. I did hear that Roisin threw out my name as an ""easy"" vote to Jordan, but I'm not going to think about that right now. So I really hate being shady or lying to people, so I may have to 'go to the grocery store' or something before the deadline because I'm already having to lie to people and I hate it. But then I guess there isn't that much I can do when there's worry about idols in the game. So how I think the votes will fall: I know that at least myself, Jordan, Audrey, and Roisin are voting Nick. Jordan says that he believes Ali is with us, but I can't say that is 100% the truth. I still need to talk to her personally to figure out where her head is at. That leaves Rob, Nick, and Mitchell at the bottom- potentially with Ali. So basically, it's either going to be 4-4 or 5-3... obviously I prefer 5-3, but I think if it did tie, we could get Ali to vote with us. Honestly, if Nick does go, that's going to help me a lot come merge. Nick has basically the same connections I do, and that's going to hurt me a lot come merge if I do want to try to stick with the premade. I just need to come up with a reason for voting Nick that like makes sense to where I can't be blamed. Maybe something about hearing of him being in alliances and such? I don't really know, but I'll have to think of something. Update: Ali is probably voting Roisin as of this second. Soooo, it may be a tie vote. She doesn't think anyone wants to vote Nick, so maybe once it ties she will like, jump on board. This is also worrisome though since she did bring up that Rob wanted an alliance with her and Nick... basically I don't really trust Rob at all. Like I love him as a person, but if he really did make those two alliances, meanwhile I'm still only in the one from OG Kanaloa... I'm at a pretty big disadvantage if that is true. I need to try to make an alliance with Jordan and Audrey at some point because that's gonna be a lot easier than running between the two! Hopefully Mackie survives his Tribal and we can all meet up again <3|Lexi}}" "{{quote|pele|I can never sit back huh, my words just came out and try to make something with Mackie. Well, I just want to keep my options open.

The thing about Mackie is, I’m pretty sure he’s going to flip on me to the villains once we reach merge. There’s really no point keeping him safe but it might be otherwise like he feels owed or something.

I convinced Evan to throw the votes and he mentioned John. Perfect! He’s the one I’ve been targeting. It would be a perfect plan because if later my target is Mackie and he somehow have the idol, it would still be John and if my target is John, I could get Mackie & Declan to do the same and Evan already throw the votes on him and he will be the majority of the votes.

I’m just hoping this would not get busted or else I’d have to come something quick to recover. If it turns out badly, I’d have to convince Declan to use the idol on me.|Maya}}" "{{quote|pele|Mess city

I've been dealing with the repercussions of staying over with someone in a MURDER HOUSE that I haven't focused on the game since then but I guess I can now.

Last vote I saved Mackie because I feel like we had a pretty decent relationship and Tate had it coming. Come to find out there was more reason Mackie felt safe besides me telling him i'd want him around.

Evans weak ass was telling him the same shit because he knew he was staying, Declan WANTED to flip, and Claire and him are apparently close? Like Claire told HIM she was the reason he stayed like she convinced me? That's one way to put it. CLAIRE FOR THE RECORD I REALLY LIKE YOU AND NONE OF THIS IS PERSONAL SO DONT HATE ME AGAIN, but Claire is getting messssssssy. She's trying to cover all her bases and is doing a bad job at it. She went to Declan earlier and apparently she knew about his idol, but wanted Declan to use it on Mackie to get rid of John or ME? Declan wants John so it's not me but she's going off, Mackie isn't gonna stick with you girl idk why you're trying to save him so much!

Speaking of, Mackie is also concerning. I feel like he knows me and Nick are friends so he's telling Nick whatever he wants to hear and not the truth. Mackie is set up soo good like he has me claire declan all with him plus his villains on the other side. I would like to get him out now just because I know he'll come for me sooner rather than later, but I can't get him out now with this idol fear.

And on that note, because Mackie is getting saved it's probably going to be poor John going home :/. I feel bad but, everyone I talked to has the same feeling about it, if someone were to go we'd rather it be him because of how awkward he is to talk to game wise. Everyone agrees getting him to say anything game related is like pulling teeth, so i'd rather just snipe that in the butt especially since I want Maya and Evan around and can use Claire's messiness with Declan to my advantage. I think it's John now but idk how we're gonna pull it off so we'll see what happens.|Sora}}" "{{quote|pele|LMAOO now everyone is like okay with splitting the vote for John! Everyone mentioned about the same reason that no one can read his mind and he is the least trusted one. That’s great for my plan!

Just to be safe, I need to make sure that I will be the one and someone other than Declan who will write John’s name. If john goes, they will know its Declan who flips and not me. Oh now I just need Mackie not to say anything and blew this plan out.

It’s going to be mad. |Maya}}" {{quote|kanaloa|Okay, so here's what's going down over here. The OG plan was Robert, but he won immunity. I've made good with the villains because the heroes treated me like garbage. Rob is fakey fake fake and says that he and I are good, but that lie stinks to high heaven. But I play nice and come up with a plan in case Roberto has an idol. I tell the villains, "hey, let's vote for Robert's side piece, Nick, and get him out of here because if those guys end up with Sora and John, that is bad news bears for everyone. The only people those two would be stupid enough to think the vote is on to the point where they have blinders would be me and Roisin. So how about you go to them and tell them Roisin is on the chopping block and then we all turn around and vote out Nick?" The villains all agreed to go for it. But then, Rob comes to me and tells me the plan is Roisin, so I know something is off. I was right. Turns out, he's trying to get votes split on me and Roisin. Fat fucking chance. Four different people on this tribe came to me with that info. Even Lexi wants to get rid of Nick now and we're in good somehow out of nowhere. Rob and Nick came up with the vote split plan (surprise surprise considering they've been shouting my name to anyone who will listen since we swapped and probably before). So, if all goes according to plan, Nick can go give David my regards in the VL. Only wish it could be smug Rob. All I know is, I'm either going to go to the merge in a blaze of glory or go out like a hero, and that's more than I can say for Rob. Trying to drag the carcass of my game into the merge.|Alexandra}} "{{quote|kanaloa|It is now 2 hours before the deadline. Rob and Mitchell want to split the votes between Ali and Roisin. I of course go to Ali and tell her this, and tell her I don't want her to go particularly. I tell her that as long as she votes WITH Roisin, she should be safe. This led to a ""With Roisin? Not for Roisin?"" And then an awkward ""Are you not close to Rob and Nick?"". The positive thing is that now Ali said that she wants to work with me if we make it through this. She also said that she will owe me big time if she survives. So a new vote prediction: 5 Nick <- Myself, Audrey, Jordan, Alexandra, and Roisin 1 Rosin <- Rob 2 Alexandra <- Nick and Mitchell. Now, Audrey thinks that Mitchell is with her, but I'm not too sure about that.. if he is though, then it becomes 6-1-1. That does make it kinda fishy though, with whether Nick will play an idol or not, since that's a lot of deception that's going to have to be happening. Now, this is my last confessional before the deadline I swear, as long as nothing else happens. On another note, apparently the Pele tribal is insane, so that should be interesting- fingers crossed that Mackie survives! <3|Lexi}}" "{{quote|kanaloa|I wanted to vote out rob to take a stab at the big hero majority but of COURSE he won immunity and now... I'm voting out nick. I hate that it's happening because he's literally been one of my closest people since Day 1 and yet... this is also a stab at the heroes and about putting myself in the best position possible.

Alexandra has been a great ally and Roisin is someone who's a great ally by affiliation, so I feel like I owe it to them to do this. Nick, I never intended for this to happen, but..... :) it's Britney bitch |Mitchell}}" "{{quote|pele|Holy fuck ok so im on the bottom right? wrong I have claire declan and sora all vying to be my #1 hero buddy, but Declan is the only one thats been genuine with me mostly. Anyways, they all apparently want John out and im like why tf would you take a shot at your own numbers when we are about to merge it makes NO FUCKIN SENSE but whatever. I think its bs but if theyre being honest then.. I mean good for them. It's illogical to keep me but I guess they're worried about the idol being played on me. Which it better be, because as soon as they think me and Declan will go for the plan it makes total sense for them to try and throw votes at me. Declan better play the idol like he promised because its almost useless in the future since everyone knows he has it. Just a floating target. If I go home today because Declan got cold feet for a second time when these people have already duped him once, id be pissed. So be it though. |Mackie}}" "{{quote|pele|Alright well, we decided to go the all in route and pin this all on John bc Maya's shown to have no problem with it, Claire doesn't care, and hopefully Declan doesn't feel it worthful to flip things overnight and idol John. Ideally he can see he has some options on the heroes but praying for the best bc the merge is really fucking close.

Side note though, I gotta calm Claire down because the girl's thinking she's the only one receiving info in this game and that she can call the shots and control Declan. I'm not gonna die on a sinking ship but I can at least prevent it from happening |Evan}}" "{{quote|kanaloa|Hiya again hosts. So I'm bored, so sorry you have to deal with another confessional. Firstly, Rob messaged me to confirm that I voted- and I said yep! and then I said ""Roisin right?"" and he said yep. I never said I was voting Roisin, though it could be taken that way- and that was how I meant for it to be taken. So oops? Secondly, Mackie told me that he's pretty sure it's him, which is AWFUL. I love Mackie so much, and I REALLY don't want him to go. You had better believe that if I had an idol, I'd be passing it off to Mackie. If Mackie goes, I'm literally going to be so freaking upset. Now, a big part of this game is trust. So currently the people I trust the most would be Jordan and Mackie. Audrey is actually becoming more trustworthy to me, which is surprising for me! I think right now, a lot of people trust me- though that's probably changing a bit after this vote. Now what I'm hoping happens after this is a merge. If we work with the assumption that Mackie ( : and Nick go this round, we will still go in to the merge with a majority group of Myself, Jordan, Audrey, Roisin, Ali, Declan, and Maya. Michell is kind of iffy right now on whether he is with us or not, so I guess we will figure that out after these Tribal Council results. Even if he is with him, we should have a lead over the others by 1. Tate made it seem as though John wasn't with them as well, but I'm 100% under the impression that he is. <3|Lexi}}" "{{quote|kanaloa|So little confessional box... that tribal happened. Literally, this revote is worst case scenario right here. I hate this so much. I just wanted Nick to go so this would be easier in the merge... at least by a smidgen? The positive thing though, is that now myself, Jordan, and Audrey have an alliance chat!!! <3 The ""NuKanaloa Trio"" is literally my favorite thing in this game. I'm MAYBEEEEEE telling a lie that I already voted for the revote because I'm not changing my vote, and this way I don't have to keep arguing with them or like telling them who I want to vote. ALSO THE PELE TRIBAL OMG. MACKIE WAS SAVED. THE SKIES TO HEAVEN OPENED UP AND GAVE MACKIE THE MIRACLE HE NEEDED TO SURVIVE I AM SO ECSTATIC. Literally, I hope we merge after this. I need Mackie back on my side so we can kill this game together. I don't want Ali to go- trust me I love her, but I'm not as close to her as the others. I also DO NOT want to go to rocks though. Rocks scare me and I'm not willing to do that. But I also don't want to go against my alliance. Basically, I NEED someone to flip. That's my only chance here so I'm not crying after being rocked out. <3|Lexi}}" {{quote|kanaloa|so where do I even start oh my god so I managed 2 get the votes to finally get out nick and ofc he has an idol so I had 2 play mine and now we're here at rocks, and I have NICK and ROB on 1 side trying 2 get me 2 vote with them to save Ali who is legit 1 of my closest allies but that wld be sending 4 PPL TO ROCKS incl Jordan who I love and they wld then hate me 4ever for turning their backs on me after they just saved me.... tbh all I wanted was 2 have my 2nd pre-merge idol moment and scoot offstage but NOOO I'm here... this is just peak, crump, hectic it's all the things and aaaah SOS 🙈💔😵😬😓 xx|Roisin}} {{quote|kanaloa|So I came up with the idea to have the 4-4 split because then all four of our side would be immune. I got Rob and Nick to work with me because they realized, correctly, that they were on the very bottom of the tribe and that I was really their only option to move forward. I legitimately worked Roisin (with an assist from Declan) for two hours to make this vote happen. Everyone on the other side told me that they voted for me literally seconds after the revote was announced. I guess that goes to show that you should always wait to vote until you know exactly what's about to happen. They have no one to blame but themselves. Also, all of them are whining to me about how sad and scared they are. Oh yeah, I feel really bad about that when you tried to vote me out minutes ago. I literally sold my apartment, soul, and every child that walks out of my uterus for this vote, but here we are! That was a close one.|Alexandra}}
