Boy You Ain't Slick/Confessionals

These were the confessionals made within this episode.

Day 17
"protaras"

- I really really really really need us to win this immunity. As worried as I am for my people on the other side, I need to make merge. And I just can't risk going right before. Like that would be the worst thing ever. I hope we can win this and we merge after. if not then fuck man

"protaras"

- Other than Britt being on original Kyrenia, I’m pretty sure Craig seems kind of sistant with the tribe. Britt is working with Eva and I separately already so I think we should round up all the faves and make an alliance. :] I’m glad Britt and I aren’t making the same mistake of not working together this time around because “we’re so much better together than apart”. That’s the cutest thing ever. :,)

"troodos"

- Can you hear that? It's the sound of all my trust being evaporated so quickly it made a noise as it exited the building. Everyone left on Troodos should familiarise themselves with the left hand evacuation procedure, because that is not something I am wont to repeat

"troodos"

- Alright got a lot to catch you guys up on by the look of things. Good news, still here. Bad news, still here and I have to keep playing this darn thing. Let's start off with a #tbt to my first tribal. Although the fans voted with me, my mate Pris still left :/ damn idols. So that put me in an interesting spot. We got the 4 fans, the 3 favs from Purple and widdle ole me sitting nice and firmly in the middle. Favs all angry at fans for backing out of an alliance that they, the favs, were forced into - "you can't say no to an alliance" (Quote from all 3 of them). Fast forward to 30 secs post-tribal results, they add me out of the blue to an alliance -_- oh yeah.....Not only that but I like the fans a bit better. Yeah so had to play both sides. Fortunately we didn't lose another challenge so didn't have to choose one. Fast forward to random live tribal - this wasn't suss... at all. I was more shitting my pants about the dynamics of the swap rather than the surprise that was. Screw this shit. Was just happy tagging along with this crew for a little while longer, but no now I gotta do the whole meet everyone thing again. Or do I? *cue ominous music* The good ole schoolyard pick worked a treat. Dumbo Toby picked Ally leading to most of Malama reuniting. Dumbo Brandon picked some whack job from the other tribe allowing the other tribe to mostly reunite. So come my turn I had an option to pick between ShanDog or AlexDog. I had made a pact with Shannon to pick each other thinking she would have been picked earlier by a fan... whoops, turns out Drew was keen on me. Picked Shannon and gave the Malama fans a 4 man majority, which at the time seemed like a good idea, but 4 seconds later it did not. Alex and Mai weren't too stoked to have to join this squad because outside looking in it appeared they were on the outs now. But I made it my mission to make that not the case. We were going to win challenges and stick as a squad coming into merge. Lol sick idea me. The plan unsurprisingly immediately failed. We lost the challenge like chumps, and then the show began. Alex had been building up frustrations with Drew over poorly thought out lies, or just confusing sharing of information, Mai was still not stoked with him over last tribal. And the Anti-Adrian Campaign began. I wasn't too keen to get on board. Toby was the clear choice in my mind, gotta keep a squad of tight numbers heading into merge and no one counts Uncle Toby as a number. But if the numbers were there then it would have to be Uncle Drew who was to leave. The biggest part in securing this option was Shannon. We'd have 4 of 7 and things would be clear cut, one and done, see you later alligator. And in classic messy Drew form he gave Alex just what he needed to seal the deal - he admitted that maybe Shannon could go cause she wasn't able to help in the challenge. A quick gossip between Shannon and Alex made that that. And the DIASBAISLAOUWHOOHS team was born. What followed was an Onion pre-tribal, so many layers of deception and complexity that can only be described in diagrammatic form. As you can see, Uncle Toby had no idea what was happening. Uncle Drew and Ally thought we were all voting Toby and they had a 'secret' plan to chuck a sneaky vote on someone (they told me Mai but turns out it was Alex, proving that Drew was in fact quite shady) in case of a Toby idol. Finally there was us 4 all playing along with various stories and we were playing along within the playing along. The inception of playing along's. Come 2:13pm Drew was blindsided and havoc ensued. Although J.A.M. trumped we had another mess on our hands. Damage control with Ally was top priority and fortunately she has a good head on her and was able to understand why we did what we did. Well either that or she knows she needs us to still be on her side still and didn't want to ruffle/rustle feathers. Regardless, she's still a-okay in my books and I would love if she still wanted to work with me. So one down and one to go. Bring on Toby. All I wanted to do was get ins with him, be the first to explain what happened and if he happens to survive til merge then maybe he won't cause mayhem that will be bad news bears for me. Well turns out weirdos are like Hydra in this damn game - get rid of one head, two more comes back. 20 mins in and this dude has already taken Drew's mantle of rankest play of the day. Bloody hell! He was mega-frazzled by the fact that not everyone voted Mai, and that he got votes + Drew got votes. Literally everyone on the tribe had lied to him, so I guess it makes sense for him to spaz out, but who would have thought he could make so many enemies in that short amount of time. He chatted to everyone and did his best to cause doubt in people's heads, but forgot the fact that we all talk, we get along and have been pals for quite a while. This is still a developing story so we'll see how it goes.
 * insert diagram here*

"troodos"

- I feel so achieved just by pulling off this blindside and shaking this entire game up all by myself, with the help of others of course, but I think I totally masterminded this shit and I'm really proud of myself because now I have the feeling of a little power back and I'm not gonna be as much of a horrendous paranoid twisted mess anymore. Drew is a stupid motherfucker for throwing his vote on me though, I have no idea why he would choose me out of everyone, but I guess it is what it is. Drew is voted out and immediately Ally is like "fuck" but she took it VERY well, she didn't freak out or anything, she even said that "we are kinda even" and I assured her that I at any cost would like to avoid her elimination next, which I'm not even lieing about, Toby can go next tbh, he's been a shit-stirrer and started literally... 5 minutes after results? He just basically talked shit about everyone and it made it's rounds and it wasn't very appreciated. Either way, I had to talk to Ally for a while to make sure that we are still fine, because I was hoping that she would in a way sympathize with me and understand why I did it (I mean, I've been telling her the whole time that Drew had to go to benefit her game, but I didn't tell him I was voting him THAT tribal ROFL), because at the end of the day, she pulled the same shit at TC #3. Shannon is a mother goddess queen of pop, idk how else to describe her but how fucking iconic of her to write Drew's name down, it made me so happy and it also proved to me that Shannon can be a very reliable ally further in the game, so I'm hoping if we merge, I can still work with her as well as we did with this vote, because she's just all-around awesome. So.. now... we got the challenge and I literally just want to drink bleach. Zuma's Revenge is fucking disgusting and it's the most annoying game ever, it drives me insane and it's pretty much a motherfucking luck challenge, because if the pieces fall fucking incorrectly, you have no chance of getting a good score lgjsdlgasd. I just really want to win tribal immunity, because I need to see the dynamics of the other tribe and the only way to do so is Tribal Council, duh. Mai proposed to throw this challenge to get rid of Toby or Ally but I kinda immediately shut it down, because it's...... not really my style, especially with that many idols floating around tbh. Right now, I really just hope all 5 original Troodos members can make it to the merge, because then we literally only need to survive two (or one, depending whether or not people think we won't vote together as a group) tribals to gain a mass majority and if that's the case, based on the bonds I have, I think I could have a really good shot at making it to the FTC... let's see how it goes, shall we?

"protaras"

- If Brandon didn't like Drew then why did he try to vote me out with him? Hmm. I ask Brandon if he actually didn’t like Drew and he said no, so that means HE’S TRYING TO DISTANCE HIMSELF BOY YOU AIN’T SLICK Drew being voted helps my game so much, he was one of them main people trying to target me and and now he’s out. :] If you fuck with me, you’re dead. I’m so relieved that Mai and Alex were able to come through that. But I believe people only didn’t wanna work with them because of me and that really hurts because I don’t want to anchor down anyone’s game and I don’t want people to not like me. :[

"protaras"

- We lost the challenge and now it’s time for me to scramble. There was only one tribal where I wasn’t immune and I was targeted. I’m really paranoid and I feel like I can’t trust anyone, but I do get good vibes from Eva and Rob. I have a feeling this is they’re both on board with this because they went directly to our OG Troodos cht first after we lost the challenge. Eva says she trusts me 100% and I feel like I can count on her as well. Eva said that she trusted Estefana so I went to the kween herself and asked what she thought about targeting Brandon. She seemed to come off as kind of defensive. Then it clicked for me, a few days ago she called Brandon, “Bubba”. They’re both fans and Brandon picked Estefana to be on this tribe ffs.

"protaras"

- IF we do go to tribal, Craig wants to vote out BRANDON. Craig thinks that Brandon has an idol and I told him that Brandon was asking me for the clues we were given it I didn't tell Brandon the clues Brandon does not have the idol. I don't wanna vote him out because I know he Will insult the fuck out of me because he takes shit like this personal. Everyone else can vote him out but I'm not cuz fuck it

Day 18
"protaras"

- So rn I'm trying to convince Rob. Eva. And Ci'ere to vote off Brittany because we're getting close to merge and she's a big threat and I don't want her ruining my chances of winning. I have Estefana wrapped around my finger because she's really easy to manipulate like really easy lol. So if I can get all 3 of those other votes Brit would be gone.

"protaras"

- Well we lost and Brandon is trying to prompt me to say I want Brittany out. Like nah man, I am NOT even going to imply I want her gone, I'm on thin ice already. I know you'll run to her and spill it immediately so I'm just gonna be like "I love Brittany!" (which I do, but I still think she's a threat). Everything comes down to if Brandon has an idol and if the faves stick together. The first shouldn't happen, the latter SHOULD.

"protaras"

- I felt so bad for voting Brandon but now I hear he wants me out. how am I such a threat I'm flattered but I'm truly not that much of a threat when you see someone like Eva whom voted me out and was able to get back on my side and voting with me, I call that a social threat.

"protaras"

- They want to vote out Brandon. I am not voting him out. The thing is that I would like to but I don't want to. I just can't. I'm basically aligned with everyone in this game and it just sucks

"troodos"

- I'm super excited that we won the challenge, but for some stupid odd reason, we are kind of arguing if we should take idol or advantage... The idol is rehidden most likely due to Ci'ere playing it, but these people want the advantage that could be long out? I'm sorry...? TOBY asked for the advantage so that bitch probably has the idol and he lied about Drew leaving with it, good one.. I want the idol clue, because an idol is worth more in the long run than some stupid advantage that could just be an extra vote or some shit lol

"protaras"

- Rob was trying to get people to turn on Ciere but it couldn't happen because he came across Eva and Eva said that she trust Ci'ere because they were in the same tribe a while back and so she is to be trusted and all but he tried to pin the vote of Ci'ere but people want Brandon out I think I'm just gonna self vote for this one. I can't vote Brittany because she just told me she trusts me and well fuck Brandon thinks that I'm gonna be voting with him But I'm not because I will fuck up my game I think I should just tell Brandon that the vote is leaning towards him What SHOULD I do??

"protaras"

- Estefana is also trying to get me to make a big move... But shes not stating anyones names... shady I just want the easy vote this tribal and then move onto bigger moves coming jury.

"protaras"

- Also Ci'ere and I led a push to have a formal alliance made of the Protaras faves and I'm hoping it's something that sticks. If we merge after this, the faves are gonna be up 8-4 which is huge? Like it's a big deal and hopefully we can keep that together. Ughhhhh I'm so worried, I'm like 100% sure I'm going next.
