The Challenge Beast Has Awoken Again/Confessionals

Day 31
"taegeuk"

- Max is gone :/ I had to vote him out because the A-Team didn’t want Miggy gone.

The reason why Max wasn't officially in the Secret Society was because he protected Eddie too much no matter how much everyone else wanted him gone before Jake. I didn't wanna commit the same mistake, so even though I REALLY want Miggy out of the game...I had to take him 1 step further and get him to a position where he's more likely to blindside me...

I hope I can trust the A-Team well enough, good thing I decided to stick with the A-Team and vote out Max. Because he got 6 votes, which means that even if I sided with the Korea Alliance to take out Miggy, it would have been at a 5-4 and the A-Team wouldn't trust me.

Plan failed, we're sticking with Miggy. I have no choice but to trust my allies...

"taegeuk"

- Right now, my position in this game looks to be very solid. I've performed middle of the road in challenges, I haven't made any notable enemies, and I'm just going with the majority. As far as I know, my name has yet to be brought up as the first boot at the Final 7, which is where all hell breaks loose. I'm flying so low under the radar, I'm practically non-existant! The only issue is, this could make me nothing more than a mere goat at FTC, which I'm not. I've made decisions in this game, I've worked my ass off in challenges, and I certianly am NOT somebody's pawn. But, as far as I can see, it may be smooth sailing for me the next few days.

"taegeuk"

- Well my whole strategy is pretty much screwed. Max is gone. Miggy is still here. What could go worse? I guess my only chance in this game is going on some immunity streak. While I'm doing that everyone else will be kissing the asses of the Jury. I swear all 7 of this remaining alliance believe that they are in the final 3. Including me. Not gunna lie. I'm thinking I'm in the final 3. I'm probably wrong though. All I can hope for now is a beautiful immunity streak.

"taegeuk"

- I really really smell something fishy about my allies. I dont know if im just paranoid or what.

"taegeuk"

- It's coming even closer, The day until it is just the alliance, words will not be spoken as a team and communication will be on a private chat. This is when I should be worrying, but I have had a great time. This may of been one of the best experiences of my life so far. Loved every minute of Survivor: Korea. And now it's time to fight for my rightful place in the game, it's now all on all battle. Friendships will be put to the test. Let's do this!

"taegeuk"

- So today, we tried to find a new name for the Korea Alliance and after someone gave out names like "Bby Gurs" or the "Gangnam Alliance"...The good names started to come in like "The Kings of Korea" and stuff like that.

But then, someone suggested "AAAACJHRI" which is the first letter of the names of the people in our alliance. Then he realized that half of us have names that start with "A"...He actually figured out the dominating alliance in the game but didn't realize it =))

Well on other news, Zion wants us to send in a list of allies...sooooo

The Korea Alliance: Alejandro Amir Aston Aaron Ryan Ivan Hunter

The Secret Society: Alejandro Aaron Amir Miggy

The A-Team: Alejandro Aaron Amir Aston

The Baekje 4 (There are only 3 of us now, but we left it at 4 in memory of Cassels) : Alejandro Amir Aston

Notable Allies: 1.) Convinced Ivan that I see him as the boss of the Korea Alliance and give him info every now and then 2.) I gave Ryan info about all the Silla members (Miggy being shady, Max being strategic and Ben being the best in challenges) which led him to trust me more, I also give him small bits of info every now and then 3.) I make it so that Hunter and I talk every now and then and told him that I see his challenge dominance as a good thing since by siding with him, our opponents won’t win immunity. He openly expressed his desire to get rid of Ivan and tells me the people the we should stick to. I believe that he thinks that I’m going to the end with him. 4.) Miggy targeted me a few days ago, but now that Ben is gone. I heard that he wants to go back to being SS strong.

So I'm basically aligned with every person in the game... :)

Although I have multiple alliances, my loyalty is still to the A-Team. I will definitely go to the end game with them.

"taegeuk"

- I'm very happy I won. It's kind of like I am coming out of retirement. The challenge beast has awoken again. The best part about that was doing it at 9:30 at night after a cross country meet and about two hours of homework on the first try. I am very surprised I won. I really hope I can use this as a boost and keep on winning. For winning this challenge...I was given an advantage. I'm not really sure what this advantage is...I hope that it is something like a boost in the challenge, but odds are it will be something crazy like make someone sit out of the challenge or automatic get voted out button. Who knows. I guess I will find out soon.

Day 32
"taegeuk"

- Immunity results will be intense. Miggy wins immunity then the alliance turns and it is probably hunter going. If some one from the alliances wins immunity Miggy will be targeted but a couple of us would like to protect him. Either way, Someones getting Bamboozled...

"taegeuk"

- I hope I win this Immunity Challenge so i dont have to worry about the idol anymore. Grrrr. LOL.

"taegeuk"

- Winning this challenge is really great for my game. Now I don’t have to worry to be voted out because of the idol. Even if they use an idol we still got the majority. Another great thing about me winning this challenge is now we have a chance to vote out the biggest challenge threat in this game Hunter.

"taegeuk"

- Honestly I was shocked I did so bad in the challenge and judging by how the game worked, it's hard to tell how I could've done better. And I'm not quite happy with the winner of immunity. He should've been voted off last time so now we're paying the price for keeping him instead of Max. I have a feeling I know who was one of the people against voting Miggy off and I'm gonna try to blindside that person tonight. If I get my way in this vote, I know my position in this game is good.

Aaron forced the revote the Tribal Council where Monkey was voted off. I didn't forget that. And I'm going to make sure no one else did either. Aaron's going to go this time. I think I have the numbers and if this works then that would be great.

"taegeuk"

- I'm a little bit nervous right now. I know that my name is being tossed around, and it is Ivan who wants me out. I wanted him out before because he pointed a target on me once, but my alliance is scared that he may have the idol. Now, he's targeting me again.

He actually talked to me, and again, I know it is an attempt to blindside me. Hunter also talked to me. I am surprised, I casted a vote on him, and he still comes to me. He told me that Ivan is targeting me. Ivan trusts Hunter, but Hunter said he doesn't want to be with Ivan. Hunter is planning to play his mask on Ivan to scare him and take out his idol. This is like DÉJÀ VU. "Ivan targeting me", "Ivan lying to me", "Playing the mask on Ivan to scare him". This already happened on the tribal where Monkey was eliminated. This is crazy.

Now, Ivan thinks that he, Hunter, Ryan, and Amir will vote me out. I think he will try to pull off another one to make it 5.

The other side of the game is that Hunter will play his mask on Ivan, then he, Me, Alejandro, and Aston will vote Ryan. It is Ryan because, Ivan may have the idol.

But Me, Alejandro, Amir, Miggy and Aston are planning to vote Hunter out because he is a challenge threat.

Hunter told me that he still wants to be with me even though I voted him before, but I don't know. I already gave my word to others. So right now, I already know the people who I'm sticking with.

Anyway, I hope I will not go home. My name being tossed around is not fun. I'm in an alliance of 5, Me, Alejandro, Amir, Aston and Miggy. So I think it's enough for me to stay in the game.

"taegeuk"

- Miggy won immunity. This is now the whole alliance against each other, and it's sad to say who I believe is next to go. Hunter. Only because of his potential to win the game and all future immunity's. I may have to play my Mask. But then again I supposedly have the numbers (Alejandro, Amir, Aaron and I.) I just need to wait and find out.

"taegeuk"

- Well I lost. I'm pretty sure I will be getting voted out. Right now it is Alejandro-Aston-Aaron telling me they are voting Ryan based off of my personal plan to flush Ivan's idol, and then there is Ivan-Amir-Ryan-Miggy voting Aaron. I believe one of these groups is lying to me. One of these groups will be voting for me. If I vote with Ivan's group, and Ivan's group is against me, the votes will go 4 for me, 1 for Aaron, and 3 for Ryan. If I go with Alejandro's group and Alejandro's group votes against me, it will be 3 votes me, 1 Ryan, 4 votes Aaron. I think I will vote Ryan no matter what. I am still worried about Miggy though. He is that one vote that could end my game. This is really nerve racking. I still have that advantage though....

Day 33
"taegeuk"

- Don't know lying is this fun, LOL.

"taegeuk"

- Honestly if people do what they said they would, me not voting doesn't matter. If Aaron gets voted off, my position in this game is good and Hunter will have questions to answer. But right now it's all a big question mark.

"taegeuk"

- So we have to vote out Hunter tonight...these are hard moves, I mean, I had to take out Jake, Eddie, Max and now Hunter...Four people who I really enjoyed talking to and being friends with.

But yeah, if I didn't take those 4 out. Someone from my alliance would definitely be on the chopping block or would definitely be out...

This raises the question. Am I a villain for constantly blindsiding the people I'm close to? or a hero for staying 100% loyal to my main alliance? (SS and the A-Team).

"taegeuk"

- Hunter is gone, he was a great guy but also a massive Challenge/jury threat. I voted for Ryan how ever. Ryan is extremely under the radar. He will attack before we see him coming, and my confusion about the idol is coming to an end.....

"taegeuk"

- Hunter is officially out :/ I feel kinda bad, I don't really know what to say to him :/ Unfortunately, his blindside is just gonna be one of many.

As much as possible, I want Miggy out now but what Hunter said made me kinda nervous. He thinks Amir, Ryan and Ivan are going to the final 3. So I need to prevent that from happening.

My plan is to take out Ivan, then Miggy, then Ryan. And then take Amir to the final 3 along with Aston or Aaron, I'm still not 100% sure on who I'm taking to FTC with Amir and I. All I know is that the game is closing in and my blindside is coming up unless I can prevent that from happening.

I'm currently not 100% sure about anyone right now, unless Ivan and Miggy are out. I can't be certain that Aston and Aaron won't gun for me once Miggy calls the shot to take me out and I'm not certain if Ryan is really willing to take out Ivan.

We definitely can't go for a straight vote right now when the numbers are this close. We can't risk an idol being played, because I have a feeling that someone is gunning for me...Probably Ivan since he knows that I didn't go with his plan to take out Aaron. :/ Oh well, I hope everything works out. I'm so close to the fictional Million Dollars, I played the best game among them all by keeping my friends close and enemies closer, all I have to do is make sure that I get to FTC.

"taegeuk"

- Double elimination! Man! This is crazy! This could also be my last Tribal Council! And last confession! AHHHHHH

"taegeuk"

- I'm walking out of tribal with 3 votes, which is definitely more than I anticipated. I'm not thrilled that Hunter's gone, for it leaves me and Ivan as the final 2 Americans left in the game. This next immunity is very crucial to me, for I do have a good chance of leaving tonight. I have Ivan and Alejandro assuring me I'm not, but crazier things have happened. Although I'd like to see Miggy finally get the boot (so I can finally stop having to hear him "He, He, He!" all over the place), I think people have other things in mind. Right now, I have to hope for the best, yet prepare for the worst.

"taegeuk"

- Phew! Immunity! A sigh of relief! But now we have to vote someone off...

"taegeuk"

- Damnit. There's no solid plan, whenever that happens. That usually means that everyone is hidding it from you. Damnit! If I go home tonight, it'll be the worst possible way to go home! I would have been the victim of my own stupidity for not reading the part on the challenge thread that we can only send in a submission ONCE.

My first submission was only 1k but my 2nd submission (which wasn't considered) was 45k! T_T Gah, I feel so stupid T_T

Damn, I HOPE I don't go home tonight, I've never been more scared in the game than right now...

"taegeuk"

- Damn, and I thought taking Max out was hard. The thing I hate the most about Hunter is the way he makes himself look miserable, to the point you feel bad voting for him. Aaron probably fell for his crocodile tears and threw a vote at Ryan instead, since the mods clearly stated everybody voted at this TC.

But let's start from the beginning. The immunity challenge was surprisingly fun and I actually felt like this is my time to shine, but eventually Miggy shocked everyone and won. It may look bad, but had Miggy lost this, Hunter would've been here by now instead of Ivan. Hunter also won the reward challenge which reminded me again why he has to go immediately, however he never had a chance to get the advantage he won. As expected, the fact that Miggy won has turned camp into a huge scramble and everyone were running around scared like rats. The only person who seem to stay calm and never express any kind of emotion, is Ivan. As much as this behavior of his could be annoying, it's helping me greatly in making people think he has the Baekje idol.

So Hunter was trying to make a very stupid move by playing his mask on Ivan in order to save his ass. He believed he has Alejandro, Aaron and Aston with him but was shocked when he got the biggest blindside yet right in the face. I was kind of surprised that Aaron ended up voting with him, but I guess as long as Hunter went home at the end of the day, I couldn't care less. Unfortunately, this wasn't the end of the night, because we had to vote another person off...

"taegeuk"

- Success! Ivan's out, and Alejandro and I are that much closer to the Final 3! Now that I've made it this far, I think I might acutally have a chance at making it to the FTC, and even winning! But I can't get ahead of myself. I'm the last American standing, and I'd like to do them proud. There's 3 Filipinos left in the game, and I just hope they don't have plans of their own. Things are looking up for me, and it's time for everyone to see it!

"taegeuk"

- So right now, the final 6 consists of SS, The A-Team and Ryan.

Ryan doesn't know that I'm solid with everyone else while everyone else doesn't know that I'm solid with Ryan. Which means that I'll be hearing about any amount of stratagizing geared towards against me.

My main objective right now is to get to the final 5 without Miggy. And now that Ryan thinks that I saved him at the last tribal council, I'm pretty sure that he thinks that the two of us are 100% solid with each other. So if he somehow has the idol, I can convince him to play it on Miggy.

"taegeuk"

- Is honestly feel bad for Ivan. In two of my past ORGs, I was voted out for the exact same reason - I played for my alliance rather than for myself. I believed I was leading a group of people that will hand me the victory and then thank me afterwards. I was mad at them for backstabbing me, while in reality I was about to do the exact same thing when the time comes to get rid of them. It took me a lot of time and frustration until I finally realized it, but I'm grateful to have played with these people who taught me not only a Survivor lesson, but also a life lesson. If you want something, go get it. Nobody will ever care for your interests other than you and you should never leave your fate in the hands of someone else. This game isn't about alliances, loyalties or friendships - it's about interests. People will only keep you in the game if they need you, so make sure they do or get ready to pack your bags.

However, In Ivan's case I wasn't completely sure whether he was useless or not. Ivan served the role of the dictator that everybody despised but feared of voting him since they thought he had the idol. Now that he's gone, there is extreme tension in the air. There is no obvious target that would attract the attention, so people are going to be very careful when they scramble. I was considering the option of switching my vote to Ryan and blindside him, but eventually this bastard knew how to save himself. First he votes Hunter, and now Ivan? I see a pattern here. Someone is informing him about the votes and plan on using him in the future, and if I have to bet on it I'd say it's Aston. Speaking of Aston, now he knows that I have the Baekje idol, so I wouldn't be surprised if he's targeting me right now. On the other hand, I think the Secret Society members will tend to believe that Aston has the idol, so it could be either me or him next. Let's hope it's gonna be him
