Practically a Demigod/Confessionals

Day 12

“	Every german is drunk? My mother is german like she's always drunk or what? Joseph has to keep his fucking mouth before I shut it for real that dumbass	”
–Ella

“	Alright...so there's this weird thing w/ numbers and ranking our tribe and everyone in the Five Guys alliance is going insane right now because of this fact. When, honestly, I'm not sure if this really is a tribe swap. If it is, I'm ready to embrace it with an open mind. If not, then I'm really curious as to what the hell we are doing right now...	”
–Nifty

“	best case is nifty/austin/cliff end up on my tribe or that we don't swap and this is just for double boot purposes if i end up with austin and minke's on the tribe i think i can get some security with that i'm afraid of the baku/astara alliance actually gaining steam in the swap bc the other four can ditch me pretty easily i don't bring shit to the table shit i'm used to not really having to play until the merge but in this game makes me feel paranoid that's not going to help my popularity rankings tbf they're probably below angie and Ella's is higher than joe and malcolms love child who dated spencer for a bit but are currently on FYB relationship but he would totally go monogomous for the ""right girl"" how do i have so many people targeting me already, fucking ella. no wonder bryce and felix don't respond to me i guess i might have to go full philip BAAAAAAAAAAA Also the five guys is just generally a very bro-y alliance (down to the name) which is why our chat kind of goes a bit far. But any 5 college aged males who think they're the funniest man in a fb chat and the chat would resemble that. I've also been thinking of scenarios. Judging on the 7 person vote on that side they're pretty together. I think that Niftys sheki ties and the Astaras are the only thing I can leverage even then that requires me swapping on them I feel like I can work with felix, prob not Bryce, and def not jaylen	”
–Joseph

“	I hope we swap so much. Everyone here is like; dont switch, we have to keep with our tribe. Hahaha i don't care about it at all. I have Jared, Jessica, Jake and Minke at the other tribe. Even I'll send in my own to them I can survive. I think i'm in a amazing position now in this game. I should change my avatar back to the evil queen	”
–Ella

“	Got a good talk with Austin. He told me he wants to be with me at the swap. Yeah right, he's that 'sweet' to everyone. I don't trust him that much. Also Jaylen is playing really sneaky and nasty. I'm kinda pissed off because Jaylen told Joseph I'm annoyed by him. Like what the hell I told you that in private. I have to keep both my eyes open now. I'm not going to trust anyone here anymore besides Jake, Jared, Jessica, Clifford and Minke. I don't care how I will reach merge but I'm gonna fight.	”
–Ella

“	Ok that baku idol is found looooong ago. Still I'm going to guess but I hope so much I will switch to sheki. I have more chance on a idol there than I have to find it here to be honest. Or am I wrong? I know two hints for the sheki idol which could help me a bit. Fingers crossed!	”
–Ella

“	Hey ok wow its almost 3:30 but its confessional time. This was a mad easy vote but now I'm slightly apprehensive, it seems like the ranking is going to be something similar to survivor gabon where the tribes are swapped based on the ranking of your tribes mates so i hope thats not the case because if it is i will regret not getting rid of Jake N when I had the chance. Also, I'm not comfortable with anyone on the other tribe, especially Nifty considering we got rid of his best friend Tom. We can just explain to him that us 4 were on the outs and we had to do that to save our own butts. Thats a complete lie, but isn't that what survivor is?	”
–Rob

“	No idol for Ella. I've tried so much but I stop looking for it. It's found, there are no options anymore. Time to get my fingers crossed to get swapped to sheki OR maybe back to khizi. I want to go back to khizi so bad	”
–Ella

“	So, we win and immunity and Angie goes as expected. Nothing unusual there. However, what also isn't unusual is someone spreading lies about me. This time the culprit is Joseph. He decides to just go to Ella and say that I told him I wanted her out.. I've never even said her name to him! And guess who ratted him out, Ella. Like, why would you mention me to my friend and expect me it to not get back to me. If we go to tribal, I'm making sure he's gone. At first, it looked like Ella might have been going, but Joseph just bought the last ticket home. That is if we are even staying together. The whole strongest to weakest thing is super shady. If the tribes do change I would like to end up on the physical tribe, but I do need to go to tribal before the merge, so that I can display my trust to my allies. However, I'm not throwing any immunity challenges, just reward. I want this idol business to become an after thought. I guess I'll just pray to the Survivor gods that I don't flop!	”
–Jaylen

“	and of course Ella bringing up her sister squint emoticon takes a shot* anyway approach to the swap depends who i'm with. generally its to stick with the five guys and whatever other tribal alliance they're in. Worst case scenario is i'm with Nick and the other three are all together. I don't want Jaylen/Ella on my new tribe, Ella alone would be fine, Jaylen alone would be sketch for me but i can work with Felix and prob Bryce with Austin/Cliff or Nifty I think they'll keep me as the lowest rung of whatever tribe they were on, which would be fine regardless because unless we suck they'll target them first	”
–Joseph

“	Getting to know Ella, she can side on the frantic, the dramatic, but that's all part of her flare. On a game level, not really my thing, but as I'm getting to know my Sloppy Cinderella, I can't help but reserve a special place for her in my heart. This game has you believing every genuine moment is a strategy and every good person is a lie. One thing I want to say, is if I'm going to win this game, I want to win as someone who could admit when he was wrong and learn from his mistakes. I know that I don't know 90% of the truth around me and that how I think the future will go down, isn't how it will. This game challenges you to look at yourself and other people differently but like all people who crawl through a river of shit...you want to come out clean on the other side. I want to respect the sacred ground of this island and the people who walk these sands. I'm going through a transformation, and if that costs me the game, so be it. I still leave with my soul.	”
–Clifford

“	I'm not gonna lie that I want Felix in my tribe but he's not a god or something. 'Oh Felix, dont leave us. Ur our only hope. U can't goooo!!!!' Like seriously, we can kick their asses if u all just do ur best in challenges and not cry like a pig every time when the word 'swap' shows up. It annoys me and just stop yawning like that. Felix is not a god, he's just freaking awesome in challenges.	”
–Ella

“	I had the idea of everyone writing nice confessionals to break the status quo. In this game, we're in a sweet spot at the moment. Where things aren't going bad so we like each other and feel comfortable and safe and it's easier to be kind. So we should take the time now to say nice things about each other because I can tell you, once we get closer to merge, we're gonna run out of nice things to say. This game will get real. Joe - The political consigliere always available as a dependable second-in-command ready and waiting to take over the mob. You have to commend him on his wit, charm, and personality. He offers a lot to the tribe and will be a big threat down the road. Nifty - The under-the-radar powerhouse. A very rare breed. Felix is a handsome meat shield and will definitely be at the front of the line in the blindside pecking order but Nifty is not only good at challenges but as the lone Sheki is doing a great job integrating himself on the tribe. I admire his gameplay thus far and I'm interested to see how he continues to survive. Ella - The sweetheart who is being pegged as the devious idol mastermind. She's a sincere person who is doing her best to play an individual game. She wants to splinter off into smaller alliances of 1-1 to secure personal trust and hopefully have one of those eventually go to bat for her. It's a strategy that could very well work because what she's doing is hedging her bets and that's never a bad thing. Good luck Ella! Nick - The wonder kid! The idol master! He started this game off with a bang and now we're waiting to see if he can capitalize on his premier move. Nick has so much to offer and will hopefully be the threat the presented himself to be but there's a difference between fortune and fate. You can make your own fortune but you can't change your fate. Felix - This guy. This guy is good. REAL good. He's very confident in his ability to win out and go above and beyond in every challenge. He's a dangerous player and maybe that's my favourite kind of player. The dangerous kind. Austin - Austin has a special place in my heart because he's a genuine person. A really good person. He's kind and gentle yet smart and plays strong in challenges. I admire him and love having him as an ally. Jaylen - There's something fierce about Jaylen's straightforward militant play where he's direct to the point and possessive over his stance in the game. He takes control and uses a very strong poker face to hold his position in the game. I like what he's about. Bryce - Bryce has been successfully under-the-radar, loyal, and true. There's a lot to respect in an honourable player and someone who does more with less. There's no better way to establish trust than to be the very definition of it. He's a strong player but playing with less presence could hurt him long term. Clifford - This guy is simply a sex symbol. Nothing more.	”
–Clifford

“	I wake up and it's Day 12! As I look at the sunrise, I realize that if I see that beautiful sun in seven days, I have reached my goal. I want to last longer in this game so freaking bad and make the most of this game. I am going to do anything to win. And NO ONE will stop me.	”
–Bryce

“	Honestly I would be sooooo dissapointed if we don't swap. But it's high likely that will not happen.	”
–Ella

“	Tree mail has everything going bonkers. The whole tribe thinks that it is a tribe swap and I have to say I agree with them. I didn't expect one this early but I guess we got to just go with the flow whether it's a tribe switch or not.	”
–Bryce

“	Glad to know my entire tribe thinks I'm weak as fuck. Whatever, I'm glad the target on my back is diminishing, let them think I'm weak I'm just patiently waiting to slit everyone's throats	”
–Nick

“	UGH SERIOUSLY!!!!! Me: I think it may just be for the immunity challenge we aren't switching. Everyone else: NO WE ARE DEFINITELY SWAPPING LETS PUT IN A RANDOM LIST GENERATOR SO ITS EVEN. Seriously. All that acting for nothing.	”
–Bryce

“	We have a match challenge and I'm against Minke. I know Minke has school tomorrow and if she can do the challenge she will do it on a phone. I have a free day so if I'm on the computer with Google, pen, paper and calculator I have more chance to win the match than she will. Also I'm not seen as the strongest but also not as the weakest which makes me happy. Time to sleep and to rest now, I need my energy for tomorrow's challenge	”
–Ella

“	I'm really loving the spot I got in the rankings because I'm right in the middle and thats good since no one thinks I suck at challenges or that I'm too much of a threat	”
–Jared

“	Alright, so I'm ranked number 1. Fuck. People on the other tribe are also catching on to the fact that I'm practically a demigod. I have no one to blame but myself, for not being able to submit low scores...	”
–Felix

“	okay i'm now going back to my original assumpt 1ion at swap at 14	”
–Joseph

“	Shoutout to those fucks who think I'm the second weakest on the tribe. JAKE N DIDNT EVEN DO THE CHALLENGE AND HE WAS RANKED 3RD #REPLYCONFESSIONAL!!!! UGHH!! Im about to show these assholes who is actually the strongest on the tribe and prove my strength not just strategically but in challenges. The fact that I thought I was aligned with most of these people and they think of me as such an unworthy and weak player really irks me, it makes me question who I really can and cannot trust. Whatever, I know I'm the strongest and they will see that when the merge hits.	”
–Rob

“	Ok now I get why I was ranked so low. Jake N is already hypothesizing a losing situation where we are voting off either Minke or Jake R. As far as I know based on conversations, Minke has a solid alliance with her formed tribe and Jake R is on his own. That makes sense based on the vote prior to the swap. I just want to vote out Jake N and completely get original Sheki out of my game and face the consequences of Nifty later. I feel safe for now, but I don't like playing this safe game and things need to change up	”
–Rob

“	It all depends on me. If I lose people will blame me for it which leaves the decision I have to win this match. If I'm not I could go home. I have the feeling I might win this. Minke seems quite inactive but I know she's pretty smart so yeah. We'll what happens.	”
–Ella

“	We have come to the conclusion that we do not know where the idol is at. None of the original Baku have it as far as I know. Ugh. If Jaylen goes I might be screwed. ""At this point, the only people I can trust are Cliff and Felix. I trust Jaylen but that soon isn't going to last long apparently. Geez. This game is so stressful and so freaking confusing sometimes. I guess I am going to have to go with the flow and try to save my own behind. Ugh.	”
–Bryce

Day 13

“	And I lost. Do I feel bad about it? Not really. Of course it kinda sucks to vote right now and there's a chance I'm going home but who cares? I even tried, that I'm the last one to do this match up doesn't mean I had to be the one to win. Jaylen and Bryce sucked at it as well so they don't have to blame me for anything. Like lmao, I even tried. And now we're going to vote. I have to make sure my head will not be on the choping block. Or something what's near to that.	”
–Ella

“	Maybe I'm playing hard but I freaaakin' love this. Playing so sneaky, making moves and lying to people. So I created a alliance with Bryce, Jaylen and Austin. I'm not gonna talk much in that. If there's a snake they will target the leader of the alliance. Trying to push one of them under the bus if we'll be targeted. Nifty came to me and said he doesn't want to vote for me. That kinda worries me since I really thought he would vote for me just idk. I talked also with Nick, Clifford and Felix. We promised we got our backs. I know Clifford and Felix are talking and so are Clifford and Austin. It looks like the target is put on Joseph for this vote but u never know. I'm going to wait with my vote until I 100% believe it's the right choice. So far I just don't trust Joseph but he's hopeless. People are ignoring him, disliking him. I could use that as a shield. A lot of things that I could use at the moment. But this makes me feel pretty good. The thing is, I'm connected to everyone in this tribe now. I can choose sides. But it could also be one big act where everyone plays a double game and the target is put on me. That could be the case as well but don't see that happen tbh. Just talking a bit and making myself ready to play Mario Kart 8. Lol, me and Austin are going to play Mario Kart 8 together online. Not only for fun but also strategic. I have to make sure people will like me and not only talk to me about gametalk. Socializing is on my number one list now and then I'll continue with game talk. I have to do this slow and smart.	”
–Ella

“	I legit can't with these people. They all want to take out the people that are benefitting the tribe in challenges because they're "threats". News flash people we still need them right now!	”
–Nick

“	Me and Clifford have made a brilliant plan right now. It looks like Jaylen has the power in our tribe. The baku tribe will obv stay together. I could be their target. So what me and cliff are going to do, convincing Austin and Nick to vote with us for Jaylen. Joseph is hopeless and thinks he will be voted out. He could vote for someone else whoever he wants. I tell Bryce and Jaylen to vote Joseph. And the others will vote Nick since they think he's inactive. Which means it'll be a 4-2-2-1 vote. If this works we made a big move, we have a alliance we can trust AND we have voted out a threat. Let's hope this will work out	”
–Ella

“	Ugh, Cliff is such a Derrick and Austin is his Cody. Cliff wants to vote out Ella to "unify the tribe". Um no, we're not gonna stay unified. This is Survivor it doesn't work that way.	”
–Nick

“	so what i'm planning to do is vote Jaylen regardless unless if something stupid happens I also think that Ella is prob voting me regardless about what she says but when I played with Cliff, he seems to pray on younger girls harder than most child molesters so idk if he is that good at manipulating. (I feel like Cliff would be cool with reading that joke post-season; relax) (in no way i am insinuating that cliff is a child molester; it was just playful fun) im mentioning cliff as much as possible to ella so they could change their vote target	”
–Joseph

“	We lost the challenge for once. And for the first time this season I'm heading to tribal council. And everyone on the Five Guys alliance went insane. We had some sort of plan set in stone in case this happened but as soon as we lost we found new information and started to rewrite the plan and think ahead. But every time someone tried to think ahead, someone else would bring up another fact and make us feel like we just took 15 steps backwards. Paranoia robbed them of their minds. I came in there, just fed up w/ the constant plan changing and paranoia, and brought them to the reality of the situation: we can't make a plan that covers every angle. We have to trust some variables in this vote off. So, I solidified a plan to blindside Jaylen and have two votes sent Ella's way in case an idol is played on Jaylen. There are some situations where we could get screwed over this vote, but I'm not going home in any scenario so I really don't care all that much. I'll be able to bounce back no matter which way this vote goes, and I know this for sure.	”
–Nifty

“	Alright so we lost our challenge, I'll honestly be surprised if Felix, Nifty, or I get any votes since we were the ones who scored for our tribe, it sucks that we have to visit tribal, but it's also nice that Ella thinks Jaylen is trying to get her out so we have 6 votes going towards him and the 5 guys alliance stays somewhat UTR, this vote will be a blindside no matter who gets out, we don't even know about idols, but I wouldn't be surprised if Jaylen has one, and I'll honestly be ecstatic if he does because I don't think he's suspicious enough to play it tonight and if we could vote him out with it it would be beautiful, I don't expect to see any votes with my name on them this tribal because I've not made myself very prevalent in the decision to vote off Jaylen but after this vote I'll be a lot more upfront and less scared to make moves, I just need to avoid getting votes this tribal. Also, I find it beautiful how I'm letting Ella think I'm completely out of the loop of things and my only way to know what's going on is through her, I've been being a lot more social with her to build trust and to see what differing stories she'll tell me and the rest of the 5 guys.	”
–Austin

“	I mean despite having 5 clues and 13 days, I feel like Kelley or Jeremy snagging that mid-challenge. Im so stoked, but now that Jake, Hunter and I all know the 5 clues we all know who the answer is, so they will obviously know when they guess that the idol has been found. Jake N is trying to pressure me into guessing for him and then give him the idol, but little does he know I was able to figure it out already and I have the idol in my pocket. I plan on telling Hunter I have the idol to strengthen our bond when the merge hits, but of course not tell Jake N and hopefully get him out soon. I just don't want to be an idiot with it and use it too soon or walk out with an idol in my satchel.	”
–Rob

“	I actually think I'm more excited that Baku lost more than we won. Hear me out, now that they have lost, yes we get a break, but we get a preview over there to see whats going on. As far as they are aware, here we are one cohesive tribe based on our votes and it will be really interesting the dynamic over as to whether there is one outsider in a majority group or two alliances going head to head	”
–Rob

“	Azerbaijan Day 13 - Nifty	”
–Nifty

“	We have come to the conclusion that we do not know where the idol is at. None of the original Baku have it as far as I know. Ugh. If Jaylen goes I might be screwed. At this point, the only people I can trust are Cliff and Felix. I trust Jaylen but that soon isn't going to last long apparently. Geez. This game is so stressful and so freaking confusing sometimes. I guess I am going to have to go with the flow and try to save my own behind. Ugh. Well, Clifford is telling me there is not much more we can do. So the plan for us two is for Cliff to still vote for the ones to vote out Jaylen. And for me to continue the plan that the Bakara Alliance was supposed to do. That way, Cliff gets more information from them and I act like I am blindsided to smithereens and have no idea what just happened. My only worry is that everyone is trying to pull a fast one on me.	”
–Bryce
