Day 8[]
| “ | Phew so it's day 8 and this game is already legit af. I honestly don't think I've played with a more competent group of players before.
I was somehow blessed enough to be paired with female jesus/Alissa, who is an amazing person, is taking such good care of my ass atm & is probably always going to be a bigger target. Basically at the moment I'm trying to stay UTR and out of any conflict, especially since the consensus for voting on Formosa has been to target people like Aaron who were talking too much. I'm definitely fully aware I'm not on top/in control of the tribe but I've been in similar situations before and gotten out of it just fine. I'm just gradually making connections & hoping the couple of big alliance chats im in will help for now until a swap where stronger bonds can be cemented. So yeah watch this space and Im hoping to make it far in this game!! |

| “ | So after the idol blowup following beating Cordoba into submission, I realized that socially I'm not exactly where I want to be. Keeping up with people and checking in on how they are as a person is much more difficult to keep up then to just win challenges. Mackie is so much better connecting with people and I realize that my big flaw in the game is just not being the most friendly. | ” |
–Jake | ||
| “ | The hardest thing about this game for me is keeping social conversations with people. That's why I act so weird. I learned in Sichuan that people don't respond to game talk unless you've been shooting the breeze up until that point. I'm such an introvert and if people don't talk to me, I feel like I did something wrong. Just putting on a smile and saying "Hey, how was your weekend?" is tough, but I like how this game is stretching this old hermit. | ” |
–Jake | ||
| “ | Today's a reward challenge and it's a flash game and I totally think we can win since a lot of us are strong at those and I know that we can slay in that sense and it's for an Immunity advantage, which is something I'd like to have to make sure that I'm not going anywhere | ” |

| “ | so theres this 6 person majority alliance on our tribe consisting of myself, Claudia, Mackie, Jake, Justin & Joey, i do trust that we will stick together for a while but i think some of the players are shady and i dont plan to stick with them until the ~final 6~ | ” |

Day 9[]
| “ | Me and Justin really are Blood Oaths lmao, I was just about to tell him that we might as well start plotting the boot now since there's no way we can win, but he beat me to it! | ” |
–Joey | ||
| “ | Call me naive but this is the first time the idea of newbies vs returnees has sunk in. I've been so focused on playing lowkey and getting to know these people that when I catch wind of all the newbies possibly banding together, I legit just remembered that I played a sucky game 12 months ago and I might be out of the loop just because of that. I told them in a hypothetical situation where all the newbies banded together, as long as I'm the last returnee on the hit list, I'm 100% ok with that. | ” |
–Jake | ||
| “ | I just made my first final 2 deal, with Alissa! I love the girl and think we can do serious damage together but at the end of the day, I'm here to win and don't plan on staying loyal to any deals unless it's the smart thing for ME. | ” |
–Joey | ||
| “ | I'm so glad I'm playing with so many level headed people...I heard so many horror stories of everyone playing with these crazy ass weird people but it seems like everyone is normal? I guess it's still early, but there's nobody that outright annoys me... | ” |

–Justin | ||
| “ | We won! Ayy, that means that means an advantage in this awful game. Brandon is telling me that he's getting these ridiculous scores and I'm here thinking 70 is a good score fuck my sad, sad, SAD life.
Whoo Hoo! I finally got to 100 and I'm so pumped! All I need now is for Amanda to slay and we might have a shot to avoid Tribal Council and make sure that we don't have to go back to being messy and keep this UNITYYYYY!!!! Remember when I said fuck my sad, sad, SAD life. That still stands after submitting early a 101 and doing it again ONLY TO GET A GODDAMN 129 and now I'm sad. This is a reason why I was first boot in Azer by submitting shit super early so this is what I deserve. Thank God we won! Like if I had to endure another Tribal, I'd freak the fuck out and I'm pretty sure that there's a swap either at 16 or at 15 to three tribes and that is scary because tribes of 5 scare me because Astara was a tribe of 5 and we all remember how that turned out. NOT WELL FOR ME! But my hope is to stay as calm as possible and play to Rule 5 of Survivor: Pretend to be nice and play the social game because that'll keep me safe AF! I guess we'll see what happens after the vote. Also I GET TO PLAY ON MY 23RD BIRTHDAY!!!! |

| “ | so we lost the immunity challenge and this sucks… at this point i want Sydney to go home but i know the tribe doesn’t trust Jennifer, so im gonna go with the flow and not push too hard for Jenn to stay, i don’t want it to come and bite me in the ass later on. I do feel bad tho because the girl hasn’t done anything wrong and shes getting screwed over… Nothing but respect for her for being such a cool chick this time around. | ” |
–Alissa | ||
| “ | Holy crap!!!! I just found the hidden immunity idol. This is super exciting because I've never found an idol on an org before and I don't want to waste any opportunity that it might give me. Last season I played, the ultimate winner of my season ended up voting me out because they had insurance from the Midnight Sun. Now in this season, I hold the power of the sun and it feels amazing!!! | ” |

Day 10[]
| “ | Cordoba are cheating sacks of shits, tea and I'll say this to y'alls face when the merge hits!! | ” |
–Joey | ||
| “ | So I have been lacking on these just because stuffs not happening, until now, We lost so I'm going to survival mode. I'm doing terrible on this tribe and you'd think I'd be less worried because I have an idol, nope because everyone knows its gone and I'm not sure if they think it could be me or not sooooooooo.
I'm trying to get Ally to talk more game but she's not really open when we talk game so it's hard to tell if she's uninterested or that's just her. From what I've been able to kinda put together is that the people in that 8 person alliance minus Aaron and Ally(actually now that I'm typing this I feel like she could be in it too) are still an alliance and voting together. I'm trying to assess the situation because I feel like Alissa and Justin are the ones calling the shots, but Mackie is someone I feel like may have more pull just because everyone loves him and wants him on their side. Sooo I've been kinda playing up the I need you card and defenseless strategy so maybe he'll wanna drag me along whoooo knows lol. Anyway I changed my mind from what I said about the universe wanting me to work with Jennifer because I'm the universe and I want her gone lol. I just have a much higher percentage of surviving a swap in pretty much all circumstances if I'm partnerless I feel like since one side will need my vote and the other if they have majority will just go after the pairs before me. Pluuuuss I have another plan, apparently you can hide fake idols so what I wanna do is plant one as soon as Jennifer goes home at Hannah and have someone go check and find it, think it was Jennifer who had it and voilà I get off scotch free and no one knows it's not the real idol and I get to CHILL finally without sweating that someone's gonna think I have the idol. So yeah Jenns gotta go |

| “ | So the hotties group ostensibly holds the cards (that would be myself, Mackie, Justin, Joey, Claudia, and Alissa). With the swap looming, though, one must consider all the...swaptions. | ” |
–Jake | ||
| “ | Well it's our second tribal council and I'm nervous and paranoid as usual. So I won't be surprise if it's me going home. So far the vote is ally because she was Aaron's partner. We are all predicting there could be a swap after this tribal that's why we want to have a consensus vote. In case there's a swap, we can all stay on the same vote and not switch and vote with the other tribe.
This tribal result hasn't been uploaded yet but I'm shaking especially since I was a 4th book the first time I played in Sardinia. RIP if it's me 🙁 |

–Jennifer | ||
| “ | I loveee Sydney!! and I feel bad for lying to her about knowing about the split vote, but I need to make sure I have my bases covered if there's a swap or even if I think I need to flip on this alliance now. | ” |
–Joey | ||
| “ | im fuckin pissed i wrote a MASSSVIE confessional and my computer reset no im baked as fuck so It's going to be ten times as hard
what a damn couple days huh. I fucking made yesterday and today my bitch. I'l quickly list what i accomplished, and there's a lot 1. Got Jennifer to vote Ally 2. Gained Ally's complete trust, She also votes Jennifer like I wanted 3. Got the votes split onto Sydney, which is what I suggested initially. 4. Got me and Alissa to both be able to vote for Jennifer so we can do damage control with Sydney. This also showed her I'm playing for her benefit as well as mine. We're super rock solid. I tell her a lot but so much so that it makes her More confident in me. But Alissa's good man. She's playing me just as much as I her. We're genuinely really compatible, but there's some element of game there. I genuinely believe she's interested in keeping me around long term though, and if she fucked me over short term, kudos to her. She's a phenomenal social player, probably one of the best I've played with. 5. Jake voted Sydney because of my plan, which he was a little unhappy about. But I turned it into a situation of me trying to smooth things over for him, so i yet again get to prove to someone that I'm willing to put in work to help them. That's what really gives you allies. 6.I started to smooth things over with Sydney, She probably trust me the most other than Ally on our tribe. im too high to remember the rest Justin told me like 2 hours ago he just found the idol... bro, do you think i was born yesterday ? He said the re hid it and it was Hannah again, I'm not an idiot lmao. Jennifer would have played it if she had it and Justin said it had to be her, Aaron would have played it too. So no he had it the whole time, that's what I was telling everyone, because it's obvious. Everyone but Sydney knew Syndey was getting votes. I told Ally that she was going to be the votes in the split but I got the target off her, this made her really happy. I bet she somewhat thinks she has decent hooks in my back rn, but it's more so the other way around I think. That's my strategy this season, I don't usually play the same way twice, and i never play this way. I'm extremely nice to everyone and thoughtful, so they think they can easily manipulate and work me. But i keep getting closer and closer, to the point where i know what makes them zig and zag, then i flip the script. Not a single member of this tribe has any intention of removing me from the game as of now, i think I'm the most well liked out of anyone. I honestly think think is ones of the best social games I've played, I usually have a least some larger errors. Joey and Justin scare me. Joey asked Alissa today ""do you like mackie"" but then it ended up being something about Justin. Idk where his head is at but i dont trust him. Justin i trust somewhat but he's just kinda sketchy. The whole idol thing, and he just seems to have differing interests, i dont like it. I hope we can win this challenge, I really don't want to have another tribal. I'm in the sweet spot right where I wanted to be at swap, but you fuckers decided we're going 3 tribes of 5 instead huh. shame on u. Put me on the 3rd tribe at least daddy needs to find a tyler perry idol.
like im so straight but its funny when the guys hit on me, I just play along. i don't mind it, it's all in good spirits. as soon as it started to get anything close to serious i'd have to nope the fuck outta there real quick tho lol. i couldn't do what kev's doing in BB Canada, but imean good on him. lets just put it this way tho, if this were the bb house, the ladies would have broken into the second or third box of condoms already . |
