Survivor Pompeii Episode 2 - “One Right Move And I Can Win The Game” ~ Kendall

I've started working today. Emmon and I are tight so we decided to divide and conquer. We're both forming separate alliances so we can run this tribe. He knows more people on the tribe so he's going to be having the numbers and I'm going to be getting people who seem to be outcasts/alone on my side. Matt straight up told me last night he's alone so I told him I'm alone too and now we're sticking together. Emmon is in the process of forming an alliance with AJ, Kendall, and Kevin. I was originally going to try to work with Matt and Kevin but Emmon informed me that he thinks I'm paranoid about an all girls alliance and thinks that I'm going to flip at the merge. So now Emmon's trying to get close to him so he wont vote me out. I dont think that'll happen because I'm pretty good at comps and they'll hopefully want to keep me around to help them win immunity. So now that I have Matt's support, I know his friends will be accepting of me. I've already let his furry™ friend, Ace, know that I'm looking after him so they'll have positive impressions of me. Once we get to the merge, I'll be working with the other tribe and Emmon will work with Salus so they'll pick each other off. We're hoping we can pull that off like Danielle/Jason did in big brother 3.

Victor: hey I think there's a girls alliance going around bc a lot of girls are on this tribe. also all my friends and people I talk to are on the other tribe :( me: huh really? idk about it *screenshots this for further use* It's funny how the day 1 merge may affect your game. Besides theorizing on a girls alliance that I personally don't think is a thing, he also said that all the people he talked to are on Pietas. And I'm just like huh okay keep talking. Because what that says to me that if we end up in a tribe swap, Victor may likely flip on us. At this point in the game you wanna keep your strongest loyal people and Victor hasn't proven to me he's either of those. And speaking of flipping, I'm pretty sure Drew would flip on his tribe because he kinda hates it because no one talks and I pray for him. I'm confident he can survive because he's shown his strength in challenges although according to him it's just puzzles. Okay. So Kait just asked me to call so I was like yeah sure. I decided I would tell her the Victor tea so I could solidify her trust. And lo and behold, before I can even do that, she offers me an alliance of 5 with Emmon, Kendall, and Jenn; apparently it was Emmon who wanted to work with me so that's good I guess. And I had been considering asking like her or Kendall about this eventually but this is great! So then I tell her about Victor anyways to make sure she's confident in me, and then when Kait makes the group I tell the other three too. The group has been renamed too many times but the general name is Wine Moms Against Pokemon.

If I knew people voted Chris I would have agree and went with them

What should I confess today? I'm trying to take it down a notch on the strategy portion of my game, since it's never really worked out for me before. I'm just talking to the people who I actually enjoy talking to and if that comes back to bite me, whatever. Kendall and Emmon got back from Exile, and I hadn't heard from either of them. Even in amongst the Maslaysia 4 it was quiet. Now, I have my final 2 with Kendall already set up, so I'm expecting to hear something. Then I talk to Kait later that night, and she says Kendall told her about the idol clues but that she shouldn't tell anyone. So then it became that the girls were together, and we'd just keep it from Drew, but I think now we've discovered that Kendall is telling the three of us all the same thing. Which is fine, and I know Kendall has other friends here than just us. She told me that it's a riddle, and it's only on exile, so looks like I'll be trying to get back there at some point, even though I'm scared for life. I have an alliance with Kait and Emmon called Jennifer's Children, and now I'm in another alliance called Wine Moms against Pokemon or something (seriously though, what is with everyone's Pokemon obsession? Can we bring back Digimon?) Anyways, it consists of me, Kendall, Kait, Emmon, Kevin and Elena which makes us the majority if we ever lose. I'm feeling pretty good with all of these people, granted I haven't talked to Elena much, but Kait told me that she's working with Elena so I should be okay there. I'm glad we didn't have to go to tribal, and it works out well that Drew won individual immunity. Not sure how it worked out that Kendall and Emmon got to pick tribes and the Maslaysia 4 didn't end up together, but I'm on a good tribe so I won't complain.

I'm so pissed that lefty isn't on my tribe so he can be the real lefty

Alright, let’s have a good ol’ fashioned apologies-later confessional because I’m over this tribe. I’m over Chris not realizing that he needs to be fighting for himself. I’m over Daquan making snippy comments like “Why are you yellin’?” when all I do is say good morning. I’m over Ace’s patent objection to talking about anything even VAGUELY related to the vote, despite the fact that we were on opposite sides of this last one, he’s on the minority, and he SHOULD CARE. I’m over Shinx still not adding me on Skype, after my trying to send the request three times (but then using the fact that Chris has never added him as an argument for a vote, I laughed). I’m over Nicholas diving straight from “Hello” to “Align with me” but then neglecting to tell me that he knew Zorri and wasn’t going to vote them out. Like, if I’m your ally, you should PROBABLY tell me these things…and then coming to me after like “Oh I’m sorry I lied, I didn’t think you wanted to be in an alliance with someone who is friends with someone who missed the challenge.” Does someone want to bring in a UN translator for me to change that back into Logic? I can’t do it. I’m not over Benjamin and Connor so much, they’re good people. Benjamin’s schedule is regrettable and problematic long-term but whatever. They’re the only ones I’d consider taking care of if a swap happens WHEN I flip back to all the people I miss. Like Kait. And Jenn. And Kendall. And Kevin. And Elena. And even Emmon, bless him. Sure, Victor too. I’m over being the only one on this ugly red tribe who tries. Or maybe they’re all just trying without me and I’m getting the early-boot-ringleader edit again already and you know what? Fine. I’ll take an early exit from this shitshow Kendall decided to call a tribe. I’ve got a “majority chat” with Benjamin, Connor, Chris, and Daquan, and I actually feel pretty good about keeping three of them with me for the next vote. Nicholas said he’d vote Shinx out next (gee, where have I heard that before) so MAYBE I’ll be okay? This is so ugly. I can’t wait to see Shinx bomb another challenge that I’m actually doing well on, which makes us lose. At least most of the people I like will stay safe while we continue to Ulong ourselves out of existence. JAY. TRIBE SWAP SOON. PLEASE. Save me from this disaster.

So, quite a few things have happened since the last time i checked in with you. The first vote was, in my opinion, a mess. I was told Zorri was were the vote was going but i didn't expect such a split vote omg. Idk why Chris had a target on him. I believe it was about the exile vote but still even then i didn't expect that. However, because of the split vote, i suppose the Zorri voters were surprised because next thing i know, i'm being pulled into an alliance. At first i was like 'OMG, I'm in alliance'. But it's all guys and i'm like 'I'm my worst nightmare'. An all guys alliance? Dhuwuwhdjdieiwusbej. At least i'm in the majority...

The guy thought Pokémmon was a good pun probably just fucked my game. I feel like some background is in order. Basically me and Em got picked to go to exile island which lead to me picking teams and him getting an idol clue. He shared his idol clue with me and then promised to keep it a secret. I then told Kait because there was no way I could get away with 'Yep there was no idols on exile island' because she is not an idiot. I then forgot to tell the rest of the maSLAYsians. I ended up telling Drew because I felt bad that he was alone on his team. Unlike Kait, I shared the actual clue with Drew because I can't let her get anymore power then she already has. Then fucking Emmon comes out of nowhere and tells Kait and Jenn that he and I have idol clues and that we should all from an exile alliance. Like FUCK. So I had to tell Jenn that I had the idol clue. And right now Kait, Drew, and Jenn all know I have it. What they don't know is that everyone else knows. It's like I'm playing the Russian Roulette and Jenga's unholy love child. One wrong move and I'm fucking dead. ... ... ... And I am loving every second of it. Why? Because the whole scenario fascinates me. I have to be cautious, I have to be precise. One wrong move and I'm done for. One right move and I can win the game. All these calculations and all these hopes are completely dependent on external forces. And that is exhilarating. Not unlike the concept of entropy. A thermodynamic quantity representing the unavailability of a system's thermal energy often interpreted as the degree of disorder or randomness in the system. It's completely dependent on chaos. I am almost certain Kait is suspicious of me but I don't think she has it in her to get me out. Well I mean, she does but not before the merge. Which brings me to my next topic: Perviously I have discussed possibly orchestrating my companions downfall and going Rambo. But as it is, that is an incredibly stupid idea. It didn't work the first time it is unlikely to work the second. I want to make it to the merge with as little blood on my hands as possible. The best way to go about that is to leave the scheming to Kait and Jenn. Kait can be used as a human shield. She has won before, no one wants to let her win again. As for Jenn, I have yet to determine what gameplay she will use this round. Kait's gameplay should be easy to predict. She has won a main season and has yet to be voted out of the two other side seasons she's currently in. She has no mistakes to learn from. If it ain't broke don't fix it right? Likely, she will fall back into old habits. Which will make catching her off guard enjoyable. Drew is a complete enigma to me. Personality wise, I know what I'm getting into but gameplay... lets just say I'm having a hard time differentiating between him and Kait. I need to socialize with more people, if I only keep my focus on my allies I will be taken down easily by enemies.

Drew is continuing to hate his tribe and I'm kinda laughing but also I pity him and he better survive till a swap happens. Also somehow he has like 700k? Meanwhile here's my flop ass with 170k (but AJ says he sucks at this challenge but who's surprised by that). My question is first of all Drew said he's only good at puzzles ummm sure. Second how on earth did he lose a tiebreaker flash game like... I was gonna say that to him but he can find out when these confessionals are released.

Okay so things have happened in the 84 years since I last made a confessional so here's the things. Salus won reward and if we continue not letting Pietas win a single challenge that'd be fantastic. We had to send someone to exile; Emmon suggested Ace and I was okay with that, and then Kait wanted to send Drew to exile and I like drew and tbh he's who I talk to the most (perhaps that's a miss steak but oh well) but I also didn't want to go against the grain of my alliance, so I went with Drew as well. So now he's gone for the rest of the challenge. So basically it seems like Matt will be the primary target at the first tribal, and Victor as our backup. AJ has expressed how he doesn't like him. An actual quote from Matt: "My main bitches are on the other tribe. I'll be damned if I go home next." Like sweaty that's just asking for it. It's super shady and you're painting a target on your back. Victor has also said similar things but I talked to him and he hasn't talked to them since the tribe split sooo down with Matt because he's pissing me off.

touch the bubbles reminds me of when I was a sperm in my daddy's ballsack

i cant try to focus that much to care rn

So after tribal last night i find out that it was basically a split vote and that i "kind of" campaigned for it to go the other way. and by campaigned i mean idc who went as long as it was with the tribe. Apparently like i expected even tho zorri didn't talk to me he had friends and thank god i was on the positive side of a vote. so then afterward i was just chillin because that tribal was just throwing shit against the wall and it would stick. then i check in with chris because i save him and i let him know. then perfectly drew is like lets get an alliance going. which is the exact thought i had but I'm trying to do as little as work possible because I'm trying to "float" so having the guy who did the best in the comp also get the alliance going is perfect. I'm not a threat in any of this. chris is tech on the bottom because he would have gone home and i think ben will get rid of chris and drew before me but that is speculative at this point

im half ass throwing because i want the other tribe to win to see if they pick someone from their tribe. if they do exile must be dope

EXILE LOG: Is this even that different than being in the game? Realistically the only people I would have talked to would be Kait and Kevin, and they’re not even on my tribe. It’s about 6pm, my exile is almost over. And so far, four people have posted their challenge scores already and the only one I don’t beat even with my disadvantage is Benjamin, who didn’t submit properly and whose score will not be counted unless he fixes it, which I don’t think he’ll do unless someone tells him there’s a problem, which I can’t do because I’m on Exile. I’ve guessed like 20 men and 24 women for the two idols so both of those are going well enough, I guess. If I can get Kait and Jenn to use their Binder of Women (without seeming too pushy on it), I might be able to get them to guess for me for a little while too. 20/136 is a good start to be virtually uncontested, except potentially by Emmon, who might have gotten the male contestant clue. But he would have only been able to make 4 guesses by the time I got to Exile, and he has no way of knowing the odd season information. If I can keep this pace up, I can get a good 70 guesses in on the men out of 136 before anyone gets any new information. This is GOING to bite me in the ass, everyone is going to know I have an idol, but honestly, at that point, like….whatever. I want one. A complete lack of caring on my end. This tribe needs me anyway. We’re already getting crushed, and Ace and I are the only ones even fighting to hold on anymore. #GetMeOffThisIsland, I’ve got a tribe to clean up.

so it looks like I'm the double agent™ and will be the swing vote come tribal, victor really wants KAIT out but the alliance wants Matt out, if they hear that victor wants KAIT out they will target him, victor is my #1 but I don't wanna piss off a shit ton of people so I need to think about all of this this is a lot yikes !

also I've been telling victor everything oops! I did again™

I have a feeling we are going to lose every comp #prayforaswap

In order to keep my alliance with Emmon a secret, I've been telling everyone who's asked that I'm alone and that all my friends are on the other tribe. This worked well with Matt because he's teamed up with me but it did not work so well with Kevin. He told Emmon that he thinks that I'll flip at merge and he wants me out when we lose immunity. Emmon, of course, misted him and suggested that Matt would be a better person to vote out first because I'm good at the comps and can keep the tribe strong so we'll avoid tribal as much as possible. That's great for me, but it's not enough. I've come up with a risky plan to try to get Kait out. So I now that Kait/Kevin/Jenn are close and they think that Emmon is working with them. Matt and I have agreed to stick together so we'll vote the same way. That's 3 confirmed votes. Emmon and AJ are pretty close so he's going to try to get AJ to vote with us. That would make it 4 votes. I'm going to approach Elena about voting Kait out. I suspected in the beginning that there might be something going on among the girls. If my hunch is right, then Elena is going to tell Kait that I'm targeting her and they'll probably want to vote me out. In case that happens, Emmon is going to tell Kevin that he's working on misting me so I can trust him with everything. If Emmon finds out that Elena snitched on me or that they want to vote me out, he's going to tell them that I have an idol that Drew gave me from his trip to exile. They'll believe it because Kevin's been trying to get me to reveal stuff to him. He asked me about who I was close with on the other tribe and I told him Drew and Kevin. Because I've told him that, he'll believe that Drew did give me the idol so then they'll want to split their votes. With their votes split, Matt, Emmon, AJ and I will have the majority and we'll be able to vote out Kait. I hope this works lol.

If I ever feel sad in life I'm just gonna remind myself that I'm not on Pietas and that I don't suck like they do. Imagine losing three challenges in a row and not coming close. Like I guess that sucks but it's clear they need to start thinking about their challenge strength.

i just found out drew is like 80 years old who let him onto survivor this is too dangerous put him in a retirement home before he gets medically evacuated

playing this dumb floater game is soo hard because I just want to throw out high level ideas but I'm just trying to play lowkey and just chill and just go with the flow and its just sooo annoying. just let me get to jury so I can be released from this cage!

i love how drew is just so content with being a comp threat. like have you not watched the show. you are the biggest threat. if there is a final 3 to the tribe i want it to be me drew and someone else and tell the other person like "hey if you 2 people lose again obviously you'll lose to drew and you have a chance against me" it will be the easiest vote of the season unless drew is a social beast

now drew has fans on the other side like no. i feel like I'm on the biggest b team of a cast

frankly i am just PRAYING to make it to the swap because i NEED A SWAP!!! like oh my god i am not playing at all but i feel like because i missed the first lil bit of the game i CANT PLAY!!!! the only two people i feel like i have any sort of bond with at this point are Jenn and Kait. Jenn and I have made an alliance, but it doesn't do me much good until i can actually vote with her. currently, im in an alliance of drew and.... who else? i have no idea. being on the "other tribe" (aka not the person who made the tribe) kinda made things uncomfrotable on this tribe from the get go and nothing has changed someone help us

Survivor Pompeii Episode 1 Part 2 - I’ve Already Lied ~ Jenn

I got 0 votes for Exile Island??? That's good. Also Kendall and Emmon both went to exile as planned so I didn't screw up the plan, whatever it was for. Soooo idk what's next but it's probably immunity. So anyways I'm making a first impressions rankings of everyone because my opinions are that important: Kevin's Official Day 1 Rankings 2k16 1. Drew 2. Kendall 3. AJ 4. Elena 5. Jenn 6. Kait 7. Chris 8. Victor 9. Emmon 10. Benjamin 11. Shiny 12. Daquan 13. connor 14. Zorri 15. Ace 16. Matt 17. the one person who hasn't added me on skype yet Are these who I think are good players? No because who on earth would put AJ at the top if it were.

Well, queen me getting 0 votes for Exile. I got that stellar social game, bitches! Watch out!

Heyyyy this is my first confessional! I love this whole thing! The cast is so nice and i know its going to be so much fun to get to know everyone! Our first twist is One World which seems great! I am so excited to see how immunity works! The next twist is Exile Island and we have to vote in two tribe members!! I am scared to go in there first because what if it's something bad! I voted for Matt because he made a rape joke in the chat and then did not apologize which made me feel very uncomfortable. And then i also voted for Chris because he said he would like to go in. Either way neither of them ended up getting the highest number of votes so the people who have gone to exile are Kendall and Emmon. I hope that they will tell us what is on the island but I can see why they might want to keep it secret, especially if there is a hidden immunity idol. So far i have bonded with Daquan, Drew, Jennifer, and Kait the most. I think this is because they all have talked to me quite a bit. I am hoping to form some kind of alliance soon! I think Daquan is my favorite so far and I would definitely like to work with him!!

so wow I can be a team captain or snatch an idol clue but I wanna take the clue but at the same time I don't know where Kendall is at and she can put me on a shitty tribe so I honestly don't know what to do.

when ben offers me an alliance and kait is nicer to me than normal. call me french fries cause im their #sidepiece

[Saturday, March 5, 2016 8:59 PM] Matt the Pink Arcanine~TheWildJolteon:

<<< Literally writing fanfiction.Matt the Pink Arcanine~TheWildJolteon, Saturday, March 5, 2016 8:59 PM

lefty makes it so easy for me to hate him

so kait who knows "a few people" in this game is in the majority. not surprised at all

So, it's time for the first immunity challenge, and i'm pretty excited. I didn't get any votes for exile so I think i'm on everyone's good graces with the tribe but hopefully shit doesn't flip on me. Survivor is an unpredictable game. I do want to win immunity though. I don't know how this game is gonna go. on the upside, I hooked myself up Daquan and Drew. So I have two guys with me but not together and I hope to change that.

1 exile vote? Whoever you are...Beast Mode Shinxy will find you

I got like 86 moves for the puzzle buuut I don't wanna win the very first immunity challenge in case I get targeted sooo no. The highest I've gotten is 110. And apparently freaking Kait got 1 move/????? idk

I've been working on the puzzle this entire time thinking it was a speed comp but it turns out it's solving it in the fewest amount of moves...I'm not going to try too hard to get this immunity. I feel pretty safe. There isn't really a reason for anyone to target me. I'm just trying to fly under the radar. I think Emmon and Kendall will have the biggest targets because they are on exile island and can potentially have an idol, which sucks since I'm aligned with Emmon. I still haven't gotten to talk to half the tribe. I'm worried about that since tribal is tomorrow. So far, I've been getting along with Drew and Chris. Drew and Benjamin seem to have a really strong social game so they are big threats. They are personally my targets, but I'm not going to actively try to go after them until later on in the game. For now, I'm trying to be friends with them so I can keep my enemies close. Last time I played Survivor, I got voted off because I played too hard so I'm just gonna lay low for now. I've also been studying everyone's intros and taking notes. I've realized there's quite a few POC so maybe I can pull a Sash and form an alliance with them. The first tribal is always the messiest and riskiest so I'm not going to approach anyone for an alliance just yet, unless I win immunity.

Do I really want to win this challenge, I mean I only got 1 vote to exile. For one I dislike puzzles like these and it'll probably take me 500+ moves to solve it, I don't have the patience XD. I have a program that solves these puzzles for me but I don't want immunity in the first place and I definitely don't want to cheat either lol. I may just not do it ;C

When you realize probably 90% of the cast have pre game relationships ://

Okay, but who the fuck voted for me to go to exile? How about no? Thanks.

Yaaaaaaaaaay...new tribes.....sarcasm

Okay so we're split intro two tribes now...so that's a concept. I'm on Sallis, which is cool I guess. I'm actually proud of Kendall for choosing such a good tribe. All the people I didn't really talk to are on the other tribe. But I'm also really sad because I've been separated from Drew who I absolutely adore! I have AJ who's...probably gonna cause the downfall of me but at least we know each other. Then there's Emmon who I barely know but whatever. Kait seems okay but I'm scared of her, Jenn is nice and Elena is adorable and too good for this game. Victor seems pretty funny also. I haven't really talked to Matthew but I'm sure I can fix that when I need to!

Okay... So like... My BFFLF&E (best friend for like forever & ever) Shinxy Mac has been denying our friendship lately! And i'm honestly hurt! HURT! Idk what to do anymore... he even said he had another best friend! My heart! Oh! Oh! OH! It hurts! I even shed a few tears last night. Maybe one day Shinx will accept my friendship... If he doesn't soon, he better buckle up because I'm not one to be fucking with! <33

Well shit...Zorri didn't do the challenge though, so I hope that takes the weight off of me

I'm fucked

At least I'm in the middle and people clearly threw the comp and some didn't care which works for me

So, we are finally split into tribes and i'm on Pietas. Not that mind except for the fact we're going to fucking tribal. I'm wondering how the hell everyone with the highest scores got on our tribe but what's done is done. When I saw the scores all put together, I realized how bad I looked in front of my tribe. Fortunately for me, I didn't have the highest score. Zorri and Shinx had the highest so think the target will be on them at tribal. Hopefully. I just wish I had more opportunities to talk to my tribe in the tribe chat but things seem quiet. IDK if I should be worried about that but I am. If no one's talking at camp, then they're off scheming with each other. Which is not good for me. I spoke to Drew for a second and he said the general consensus was voting out Zorri for lack of submission. I feel that's a little wrong to go after someone because of that but i'm not going against my tribe so I guess Zorri's gotta go.

SCORECARD: Drew: 1-0 People I've put actual work into bonding with/already knew: Kait Kendall Jenn Benjamin Elena Kevin Victor Emmon Friends on my new tribe: Benjamin. This is great. Everything is fine. I am totally satisfied with the way this season is going. I love busting my ass in the challenge to lose by like 500 points because people didn't feel like playing today. At least I got this pretty immunity necklace out of the deal, but honestly how much is that supposed to help me longterm when this is Ulong and I'm in hell. OH BUT BLESS TO KENDALL FOR THE IDOL CLUE, THAT'S GONNA BE HUGE. Maybe. Idk. We'll see. Let's continue with the lists, that could be fun. People I'm now apparently aligned with even though I know less than nothing about him? Nicholas? People I have to put in serious work with now: Connor Ace Daquan Chris? Maybe? Or maybe I'll just join his East High side season because tbh High School Musical is life. Sitting ducks: Zorri (not submitting the challenge isn't cute) Shinx (486? Really? And also, I know I'm crazy, but that doesn't mean you can get away with just not adding me on Skype for fear that I'm going to be crazy. News flash, if you don't want to talk when this is over, I'm so not going to fight you on this but Survivor is lowkey a collaborative game, you have to play with people every once in a while #kthxbye) uGH LET'S JUST SEE WHERE THIS SHITSTORM GOES.......

L m a o when Kendall puts Drew on the other tribe though.

WHEN ALL THIS SHIT THAT'S FLYING STARTS TO HIT THE FAN (ANY FUCKING SECOND NOW) CAN SOMEONE PLEASE PASS ME AN UMBRELLA?? 1. Kendall gets an idol clue from Exile. Fantastic! 2. Kendall tells me about the idol clue, asks me to keep it secret from Kait and Jenn. Cool. Check. No problem. 3. On call with Kait and Jenn, they mention Emmon wanting an exile alliance to monopolize idol clues, and ask me if I've heard anything about clues. No! Of course I haven't! Keep the lie alive, we're good. 4. Warn Kendall that K/J might be coming to ask them if there are idol clues, bc while I didn't say anything, Emmon might have, and they're curious. Just being a good friend and ally, nothing to see here. Maybe we plan our stories just in case. 5. Kendall turns to Kait asking why she told me about the idol clues, leading Kait to freak at me about why I Told Kendall about clues she didn't tell me about! NOT PART OF THE PLAN. DID NOT SEE THIS COMING. Kait says Kendall told her about the clues too, same thing, don't tell the others. In case you were curious, this is still Week 1. Yeah.

To be honest I feel like my closest 'ally' or whatever is Drew and he's not even on my tribe but :/ and it feels transparently obvious and maybe I'll get targeted for that? Like it's not loyalty to Pietas it's loyalty to Drew, who I talked to before there was a tribe division. Kendall literally just gave me one-word responses today and I feel paranoid but idk :/ Like I'm defending myself to no one right.

Survivor Pompeii Episode 1 Part 1 - I’ve Already Lied ~ Jenn

fuck this twist bye

Okay, so, this merge twist? Interesting. Kinda concerning but whatever. Like, people are gonna be scattering for votes come tribal and that'll be chaotic. So, first impressions. I see I'm with AJ and I started laughing. My first two hours of the game are spent dragging him and playing Pokemon with him. Although he's a Sagittarius and pulls more lies out of his ass than it can hold, I'm gonna have to trust him. He wants to vote out Matt, who spoke one word to me, and I'd be fine with that. The other Uncharted fellow I know is Emmon. The only person I never interacted with in game, but hopefully I can trust him to be an ally. Neither of the two are challenge beasts (sometimes not even present during challenges), and I wanna have allies who get targeted before me. But one challenge beast is Kendall. I won't be surprised if she wins the first immunity. She knows the Malaysia people here, and we've promised to each to watch each other's backs. She's a very smart person, too. So eventually I'll have to get rid of her before she does it first. And then the Malaysia's she knows are Drew, Jenn, and Kait. Kait gave me her winner's blessing in Madagascar and even though that didn't work it might work second time around. I'm a bit intimidated by her since she has one win under her belt, but she seems nice enough. Jenn also seems pretty nice, so maybe an ally. Drew is hilarious and I really like him. Other people I've talked to are Daquan and Victor and a lot of other people. I don't know how things will go as the game progresses, I just wanna make sure it's not me.

Inb4 exile island doesn't even come into play #FuckBitchesGetMoney

what???? elena likes joe? fuck joe i hate joe

also why are these people idiots and exposing your game. this must have been posted on tengage with all the tweleve year olds (if you're under 18 you're 12 haha)

the thing i hate about these games is that everyone picks a winner and its so mf boring. like ya ya we get it you like them because they won but what else do you have to show for it.

for people who think im a hypocrite the reason why i picked hayden is because im coming off of a bb win and doing my first survivor game so it makes sense at least

I am already over this game. One world. NTY.

I like how this season has girls. i feel like i can click with girls and usually in some cases its like not even the token ethnic its the token girl haha

appeantly kait knows people aka possible target aka keep my story straight aka fuck pre game alliances aka cheating aka not in the spirt of the game aka over reacting already

okkkkk matt is offically first boot for me

fuck matt he says bored

l hate him already and his skype is dead af for a reason first boot

im gonna call him left because i always put my left shoe on first lmao

Owe, well I like most of them so far, I only knew a few. My plan was to vote the last person to add me, and anyone else who I think could get voted a lot. So here we go!

i kinda wanna pull a russell with a dumbass girls alliance lmao but a much nicer version of that

like seriously do any of these people know that everyone sees their opening statements and makes them a target. please just give me all of your how im a beast things just so i can use it against you :)

kendall reminds me of the weird emo girl in school haha its gonna be great or terrible with me and her

OMG YOU'RE ADVERTISING YOUR STRATEGY TO THE GROUP ARE YOU DUMB ACE. ARE THERE ANY SMART PEOPLE ON THIS CAST. WHAT IS LIFE

This twist is making the game so hard cuz it's all gonna be about numbers. I feel like I'm gonna flop. I know I'm not gonna be able to have full conversations with everyone by the time the votes for exile are due so I'm going to base it off of star signs!! So I'm trying to find two cancers in the tribe to send to exile. If I don't find any I'll just vote for the furries™

These people scare me

Well, here the FUCK I am, ready to slay in this competition, and beat them all. xoxo bye bitches

so basically I already am really close with kait and jennifer but I don't know if what we have is a strong alliance i just know that we have a close bond and I can lean back on them, I also have victor who I adore! he's so sweet and so smart and I know we can work together really well. A lot of these newbies though freak me out. They have such a strong social game that I wanna cut them lose really quick.

It's funny how Drew is asking me who to vote for Exile when I literally voted for Matt and Emmon five minutes after I found out I had to vote. And I can't even change my vote soooo oops. Drew apparently knows Matt so he doesn't really want to vote for him. Like literally the only people in this game I've talked to before were Kendall, AJ, and Emmon and sort of Kait. Like I haven't even played with the latter two. But Matt was the one who brought up voting Emmon or AJ and since I've promised AJ not to screw him over (we'll see who breaks that promise first) I was like sure okay Emmon.

so day 1 is winding down for me and so far i think i've connected most with aj, elena, and jennifer so far

oh yeah and kait lol so almost all the girls

kendal isn;t too talkative but idk if thats just her personality

i was gonna make a joke but then i realized THEY ARE TOO YOUNG TO GET IT AND THIS SEASON MAKES ME FEEL OLD. IM LIKE THE THIRD OLDEST PERSON WTF

OMG I JUST REALIZED THAT SOME PEOPLE ON THIS CAST ARE YOUNGER THAN SURVIVOR ITS SELF DEAD

also this whole exile island thing is gonna determine which 2 go on each tribe. its gonna be a season 10 type deal where we are a full tribe for a day and then we get split up some how and thats gonna be life. calling my shot rn

i have no idea whats going on :)

Kendall: hey can you vote me and Emmon? me ft my fake lying ass: haha yeah sure :) I love Kendall to death so I hated to say that but...oops. I guess I've made a miss steak already. Also Kendall asked my thoughts of people and she said Drew likes me too so I guess I have more than 1 friend.

so victor wants a poc alliance which I'm down for but I don't know where Daquan or Benjamin's head is at and I don't even remember the others but it would be an alliance of 8 and plus I'm connected with Malaysia so hopefully I can doge a bullet and not get taken out early in the war

Once more unto the breach, dear friends, once more! (Henry V) Okay, quickie confessional. I'm not here for this Safarka One Tribe shit, I just finished One World and it went really poorly. Thankfully the bulk of this cast is lazy enough that making too many friends might not be an issue. Especially with these chaos bringers Emmon and AJ giving us all something to talk about. But seriously, I go from a game where EVERYONE TALKS to a game where no one does. Even my Malaysian people are more silent than they've been in the weeks since Malaysia ended. Benjamin is cool and want to work with me, Kevin is cool and we vibe well enough, Victor and I have similar opinions about Big Brother and he apparently loves Virgos? First time my sign has gotten me anywhere. Jolteon has exact opposite Big Brother opinions. (Can we talk about how many Pokemon Skype usernames there are? Three pokemon players, one pokemon host, and a squirrel, I don't even know if I'm in Survivor or a trip to the zoo) Elena seems nice but shy, Shiny seems nice but sharp? (What's her real name, btw? Is it actually Shiny? Are they actually a girl? I swear I know nothing about this individual.) This Exile Island immediate vote is so Tocantins I can't even function, right down to the fact that I might have to vote people based on their distinguishing characteristics because I haven't gotten far enough with them to learn their names. Thank God Kendall wants to go so I at least know where one of my votes is going? She's not going to go, I don't think we've put in enough work, but maybe everything will be so scattered that it won't matter where everyone else votes, four will be enough? I'm so ready to be among the first boots once these people realize how many of us from Malaysia played together and ACTUALLY played together, I don't think any two people have done half as much together as Kait and I have. tbqh I miss being a Fan so much, people being able to look up every inch of my history blows. Please let this challenge be some flash game I can crush, I'll wear the challenge beast mantle for a bit if I have to. I'm not gonna be a low boot ever again, it sucked.

when you cant join a conversation because you'd just be mean to everyone

Connor ignores me. Officially a target

I'm not sure I'm off to the greatest of starts here. It's day 2 and I've already "lied" to my closest alliance members. Kendall called me last night to get the ball rolling and cement our Final 2. It's great because I think Kendall is very close to some of the other castaways here, so hopefully that means they won't target me. I'm lucky to already have my trusted group of 4 in Kait, Drew, Kendall and myself, and thanks to the One World/anarchy twist, I can use that right off the bat. I'm a little worried that it makes us an easy target, and I'm overwhelmed talking to everyone and needing so many votes to make something happen. I've talked to Connor, Kevin, Daquan and Elena and AJ a little too, and I like them all. Elena is so sweet and I really want to work with her. She's new to Survivor so hopefully she needs someone to latch onto. I've talked to Emmon as well (legend!) and I think he'll work with Kait and I so I mean, the situation could be worse. Then exile comes into play, and I have no idea who to send. I don't want to go, AT ALL, but the Maslaysia four want one of us to go so we can scope out the situation. Kendall said she would go, but we still need one other person. I voted Emmon because I think he would tell us what was there, Kendall can bond with him, and I don't have to worry about not talking to them and create a relationship because I already have one there. It's hardly been 24 hours and there's so much going on.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F90Cw4l-8NY I'm not apologizing. Well the first few days have been interesting, the one world twist lets me hang out with my fellow Malaysians. Which is fantastic because I have an alliance without having to actually communicating with anyone. I have also agreed to volunteer to go to exile island where I will be isolated from everyone but Emmon. And most importantly I have decided to stripe down bare naked cover myself in peanut butter and let them fuck me up the ass while licking the peanut butter off my freakishly pale skin. Just wanted to see if you were paying attention :P. I made a lot of mistakes in my first game and I refuse to make them again. Like, I haven't made a dead baby joke in at least forty eight hours, I should get a parade or something. I also have been making connections with people, through things we have in common. The easiest way to find out was to sing the Pokémon theme song (from the Indigo league none of this new crap) in the main chat. Those who joined in will be easier for me to align with because people tend to gravitate to those who are like themselves. In Malaysia, people didn't want to talk to me because I would keep talking about dead babies, lynching, and satanism. Speaking of Malaysia, I don't trust a single one of them. Allow me to elaborate, I trust them to take me the merge and possible the final 6 but I don't trust them enough to know if the 100% have my back. I'm not as close with them as they are with each other. So instead of putting all my eggs in one basket, I have decided to make a series of sub alliances. I made a final two deal with Jenn, made a final two deal with Kevin, and again sang the Pokémon theme song in the main chat which was amazing and I am going to catch them all, that includes you Jay (insert evil laughter here) In order to prove my subservience to the Malaysians, I connected them with a potential number in Kevin. From then on they will believe I am a hundred percent loyal. Kura Kura Strong! Wait wrong season. Well Malaysia Malaysia Strong just sounds stupid. I decided to mold Jenn into my minion of sorts. I have made a final two deal with her and have continued to whisper in her ear al la Lady Macbeth. "if Kait gets to the end she'll win", "Kevin is not someone you should trust entirely," "Your my number one ally" "There's a snake in my boot!" Jenn is intelligent, charismatic, and skilled. She would make a terrible enemy to have and I am uncertain I have the man power to get her out. Getting her on my side will not only make it safer, but I will also have a powerful force I could use. Till final 6 anyway. I will play with out emotions and with more calculations. Sure I will still be the goofy, enigmatic child on the outside but when we get through the game and when the flesh is removed, all they will see is wires and circuitry.

Kat is really pumping me for information for her pre game alliance and it's soooo bad. Like she is giving me nothing and then all of a sudden she thinks she can ask me all these questions on voting and how I'm voting. I'm too smart for that shit

kait says kendal was trying to get voted and im like you should tell me her fake ass reply:”I didn't know it was like imperative knowledge or I would've told you bae!!”

if i was your bae you wouldn't tell me how you voted you would have asked me anything before voting.

Players Of The Season

My player(s) of the season is a tie between Victor and Ace. Victor was a true underdog this entire season. Though he primarily voted in the minority, he backed up his decisions through excellent decision making through the use of controlling Exile Island midway through the game, never strayed away from his original motives and became a minority threat when on the bottom. Though never having the numbers to back up his moves at tribal council his competition skills and strategic mindset made him a force to be reckon with.

Ace was a darkhorse from the very beginning. Having been her first Tumblr Survivor game, Ace went in this game to prove something to many and she did. Having a unique persona that was a constant discussion topic on the island Ace eventually triggered the eventual self-removal of AJ from the game in what we now look back as one of the most iconic moments of the game. Similar to Victor, Ace was another competition giant that held power in idols. Having roamed around both sides of the game Ace managed to surprise most people and came out with a victory in her own right by placing 5th and being one of the biggest threats this season had to offer.

My player of the season is Ace. She had a great game, but I mainly enjoyed her huge idol play that saved her over everyone.

While Kendall is the true player of the season, I’m not going to count a winner for the title of Player of the Season.

My two players of the season are Drew and Emmon.

Drew played a fantastic “from the top” game, since he was in power pretty much the entire time. I’m not really sure if anyone in the game truly understood the power that the 4 Tumblr Survivor Malaysia people had coming into this game, but 3/4 of them either made it to the end or got out through someone becoming immune. Drew, however, is my pick because everyone always wanted Kait out at the beginning over Drew, and I’m not sure if Drew truly used her as a shield in the game, but if he did it was a great move. Also, when things looked bleak for him, he managed to pull Elena and Connor back to his side to vote out Ace. Drew may have misplayed his idols, but that’s because he never really needed them in the first place.

My secondary pick is Emmon because he dominated the premerge. Emmon was truly the blind-spot to the majority alliance before he voted for Kait at Salus’ first tribal. After that he was a giant threat to the majority, but he managed to get to the merge regardless. He successfully flipped to vote Jenn out with Ben and Nicholas, and his tight alliance with one of the better challenge performers of the season (Victor) saved him once again. Also, he was close to successfully getting Ace to play the idol on him, but Victor had it shut down. Emmon was a dynamic player throughout his time in Pompeii. WHERE IS HIS SECOND CHANCE @TUMBLR SURVIVOR?!?!?!?!?!

Elena’s Jury Question

Congrats on making it to the final tribal council this season! You all three did so well! My questions will be directed towards Kendall and Connor. I feel as though i was aligned the longest and was personally connected with Drew out of the three of you, so as of now I feel as though I am leaning towards him for the win. If the two of you can tell me how you outplayed your opponents, I might change my mind. So, Kendall and Connor, why do you deserve my personal vote to win Survivor Pompeii?

I believe i deserve your vote because i was loyal to you until the very end. i wanted to sit with you here, which is why i voted for kendall and kept you in the loop as what was going on. i tried to be the best ally i could for you, and i believe that justifies a vote.

-No Question Asked-

Because I'm holding your family hostage. And I asked nicely. So there.

Ace’s Jury Question

Where do I begin?

First of all, since the very first Monday of the game, I had a strong feeling I'd get voted off while in my Monday night class. And here we were final 5, I got voted off during my Monday night class. RIP.

Anyways! I gotta say I met some amazing new people here in this camp! I pulled moves I never thought I would and it got me as far as I did! Starting merge I did want to be on Victor's side since I saw a really big group that was still in the game, and we were more the Underdogs which is what we called our alliance. I heard a plan from Drew that Connor was getting voted off first merge vote, but then that plan changed behind-the-scenes to voting Emmon.. but Drew never told me because I think he didn't trust me. So what I did was vote Connor anyway (I was that 1 vote against you) and pretend to Drew that I thought you were the vote so I could get him to trust that I was with him 100%. Emmon, sadly I knew we didn't have all the votes to save you anyway so I went with being a random vote for Connor. I did the same thing at Benjamin's vote. I knew he was the target but my "main man" at the time, Drew, told me Victor first so I was the 1 vote for Victor that time too. I only did this so I could fully get Drew's trust in me... but I can see that all of my efforts to go through all that tho didn't exactly do much because I was almost a 7-1 vote out at final 8 for some reason I still don't know and I'll get to that later. So since that big group was still just about in, I wanted to change the predictability of this game and it worked for the most part. I don't think Connor would be here right now if it weren't for the moves that I started. Drew was like destined to be here since the start. Not 100% sure about Kendall. It could've been Drew/Chris/Kait for all I know. But honestly a very good choice was made by taking me out, because I was jury's choice to win and I prob would've won (y) I just sucked at challenges at the end lolol

So my questions for the finalists are: Connor- would you have gotten me out at some point if Drew didn't tell you to? Like still at final 5, or maybe at final 4?

Drew- Why exactly was I the vote at final 8 after I put myself out there twice as the sole vote for someone you told me was the target at first?

Kendall- Will you pay Temmie's college if you win? ...also, do you think you would have still been in finals if Chris and Kait were still there at final 4 with you and Drew?

No. I wanted you to be in this game because i valued how hard you worked to keep yourself here. The numbers were just not in favor of you staying, and I tired to think of anyway of keeping you and couldn’t. I am sorry you ended up the way you did, i truly am. But going rouge and voting to keep you just didn’t advance me in the game

I mean the short answer of why you were targeted F8 is because you didn’t vote with us to eliminate Victor at F9, idk if you were the other Kait vote or the Elena vote, but you were clearly on the “other side” of the tribe from the people I was voting with, and you’d won two individual immunities so you were viewed as more of a threat than Nicholas.

But because you also brought up the first two merge votes, I do want to talk about our relationship this season as a whole. To put it lightly, I got myself into a massive catch-22 of trust with you. We were fast friends but my game trust with you was shaky from the start when you didn’t tell me you knew Zorri and weren’t going to vote against her. I ignored it for the most part but never forgot. Then on the final pre-merge immunity challenge when Victor broke the laws of science and sent you and Emmon to Exile Island, that placed the doubt in my mind. Emmon and Victor were already clearly on the “other side” camp, having voted for Kait their first tribal. I didn’t know if you had a pre-existing deal with them or if you and Emmon discussed strategy and plans while on Exile or even if it would just inspire future loyalty after he gave you immunity. But any thought of working with you after that was tainted by the concern of how far it would spread.

So on the Emmon vote, I decided that the plan with the least risk of blowback on that vote was to do a loyalty test of sorts. Tell you the vote was going to Connor when the vote was actually on Emmon. See if you would vote for Connor or Kait. And you voted Connor. Great. You voted as I suggested, not what Victor might have suggested. You’re on my side, we can move on. Except I just lied to you. I don’t even know for sure if Victor approached you for that vote, but I assumed he did because he thought he had majority from somewhere, and Victor didn’t lie to you about the target. But I did. So you trusted me then, but would you trust me after I’d lied to you for the first merge vote? I didn’t know and it wasn’t worth the risk.

Then next vote, the target was supposed to be Victor. He had just gone to Exile, probably had an idol that was going to be played that round, it was even more of a risk to let the real plan of blindsiding Benjamin circulate past the necessary number of votes. So I told you to vote Victor. And you did, and Victor played his idol on himself, and Benjamin went home. Exactly according to plan, worked brilliantly. But I still don’t know if he played it just because he was paranoid it’d be him, or if you told him it was going to be him, or if someone else did, but it did nothing to build trust with you within the context of this season. Then the F9 vote happened and you were firmly “other side” and that’s how we played the rest of the game together.

Tl;dr: Mostly by my own actions, I could never trust you in the game, too much shaky shit happened, too many lies told by both of us, the way this season worked out we could never have been allies.

I have a dream. A dream in which Temmies can walk among us as equals. Where Temmie Cereal isn't in the position of some bowl cut kid. Where Temmies can have more sprites then just derp. If I win Survivor Pompeii, not only will I pay for Temmie's college. I make a world where Temmies can be free!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Now on to the other question.

I'm not even sure if Kait or Drew would have made it to the end. It all would have depended on who won immunity and who would give the best argument. If Drew won immunity, more than likely Chris would have been the one to go. As he would have been a jury vote and he wouldn't have been threatened by me or Kait. Whether it was good intuition or arrogance has yet to be confirmed. If I won immunity, there would have been a tie between Drew and Kait. Chris would have told Drew that he was a target in order to save himself and the assumtion he would do better against two not former winners. And I would want Kait to stick around because from what I could tell, she wasn't exactly popular amongst the jury. (plus in this scenario, I would have binged watched Survivor All Stars a night prior).

If Kait won immunity there would have introduced new variables. Such as whether or not I'd done anything to make myself a visible threat, who would have been a free jury vote, and how loyal Chris was to Drew. More likely she would have voted for Drew but I can not say with certainty that she would vote for me. Chris didn't register on her radar of potential jury threats so it would have been unlikely he would have left. More likely than not, I would have made it to the final 3. But it wouldn't have been an ending that I'm satisfied with.

Nicholas’ Jury Question

Well, well, well.... It's time for me to make my great return (:

Drew, you played a good game, and were the only person playing a prominent game, but why were you always Kait's bitch?

Connor, I don't think we ever talked, but what is your best move you made pre merge?

Kendall, we never really talked, but who was your ride or die this game?

Hey Nicholas! While I didn't exactly make a "big move" prevmerge, I did make sure I was set from one tribal cycle to the next up to the merge so I could begin my game. While I didn't play too aggressively pre merge, it was purely to remain under the radar.

Tbh I find the comment a little funny coming from someone who went home because they put too much blind faith in the friend they had from before the game started, even when I presented them with all of the information. Little bit of a pot trying to call the kettle black situation. But okay. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

This season I went to 11 tribal councils, 12 if you count the one that AJ held to boot himself. Kait and I were on the same tribe for 4 of those, one of them being the one where she left. For all of those 4 votes, she was the target of the “other side,” through no manipulation of my own. And yes, of course I benefitted from not being targeted, just as Kendall, Connor, Elena, Chris, and AJ did, but I’m missing the part where that makes me specifically her bitch. Throughout this season, on Pietas, Angkordia, and the merge tribe, I handled my own game and worked to make decisions that benefitted both myself and my allies. Starting from the first vote pulling the forces together to save Chris, to the Daquan blindside, to the Benjamin blindside, to flipping the vote to get Ace out at F5 instead of me. The fact that I made it through seven tribal councils that she wasn’t a part of should be proof enough of that. This is the third Survivor season that I’ve played with Kait, so it makes sense that unless other strategies and alliances emerge, we’re going to look into working together. But we’re both competent strong players in our own right. Neither of us played the “bitch” role in Pompeii.

"Attachment is the root of all suffering"- Buddha

While there were people I wanted to play with for as long as possible, I was always prepared to shoot the dog. Had I allowed myself to become overly attached, I would've had been preoccupied with keeping the person safe and make myself vulnerable for attacks or worse, become the person's goat.

Chris’ Jury Question

Drew: rank the jurors in order of most deserving to least deserving to be on the jury, not to win the game.

Kendall: If everyone in the jury/finals lived in a reality where we could have super powers what would each person have? Would there be people who did not have super powers?

Connor: Make me a pretty parchment so I can decide if I want to vote for you.

From most deserving to least deserving of JURY, fucking hell man! That’s fucking wild, okay.

1. Victor. My fellow burn bright die young comrade. Almost guaranteed to make it through tribes but even if he’d gotten me and Kait out first, I think he would still be sitting here. Definitely deserves jury.

2. Benjamin. I think for your first game and level of involvement, you got to the right place. Might have gotten further but you were just opinionated enough to not get a goat edit if you made it to the end. So you wouldn’t make it to the end.

3. Ace. You bloomed hardcore late game and I think even without my advocating for it F5, you would have gotten the boot then or at F4. Both of us were in the position of if we made it to F4 we had to win to make the end, and I’m not doubting your ability to do that but it makes sense for you to have ended up where you did, your game deserved jury.

4. Emmon. Idk what happened on Pieta Keo to get Jenn to not play her idol, but except for the flop of an idol, you wouldn’t have made merge, so I don’t know if I can call you “deserving” of making jury in this season, since the end result was based on someone else’s mistake and not your triumph. I am happy we get to be your only jury experience though.

5. Chris. I had plans to work with you long past F7, I don’t think you deserved jury, personally. From my obviously narcissistic perspective, you left as a move not against you but as a move to weaken me so without me, I think you could have made it here.

6. Elena. But for a different challenge score, you would be sitting here instead of Kendall. That thin of a razor-blade edge is the definition of least deserving of jury.

7. Nicholas. Not around for the first two votes on Original Pietas basically at all. If Zorri and Shinx hadn’t both missed challenges (and if the latter hadn’t refused to add me on Skype for fear that I was crazy), I don’t think you would have made it to tribe swap. I’m happy for you that you made it as far as you did, but I do think you’re least deserving to be in the seat you’re in, that seat belongs to Kevin or Jenn.

OMG FINALLY AN ORIGINAL QUESTION!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Emmon would be able to control magma. Because he has ambition lurking beneath his playful exterior.

AJ would have a really good furry-dar which he would use for evil.

Benjamin wouldn't have any superpowers but he'd be really really rich so I guess he would be like Batman. Because he strikes me as someone who would use their resources well.

Victor would have the ability to dissolve into water. Because he is able to evade capture by 'slipping through' and able to go in and out of things with ease.

Kait would have a paralyzing glare because resting bitch face (please don't kill me).

You would be able to turn anything into a gif like a robber is in the middle of a robbing and you can just snap your fingers and boom! He is stuck doing the same action over and over again.

Nicholas would be able to turn into Aquaman at will.

Ace would turn into a dragon, it would save a lot of money used for cosplay plus dragons are friggin awesome.

Elena would have the ability to turn invisible at will. Because she is quiet and in the shadows and the next thing you know bam she's there!

Connor would have the ability to add people on skype, particularly people who PLAYED AN ENTIRE GAME WITH HIM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Drew would have the ability to always turn library books in on time. Like the exact minute second and hour it's due.

As for me, I would have the ability to teleport via shadows because it will save money on sunscreen.

Victor’s Jury Question

congrats to all of you, especially Kendall and Drew since 2/3 of your core alliance made it to the end. Connor, you played a great floater game. This vote is really hard for me. I’m not sure what to ask (bike) umm…Kendall, you mentioned that if you had complete control of the game that the final three would be different. Who would you have chosen and why? Drew, how many zeros are in a million? Connor, it’s very impressive that you made it so far without having an obviously close ally like most other people did. Explain how exactly you controlled the votes for each tribal after I approached you to vote for Kait.

After Kait’s elimination, I voted for the person who went home overtime minus Elena. I was given many options during every vote form the two sides of the tribe, so I was able to dictate which was best for my game and gave me the best chance, if any, of winning.

There are 6 zeroes in a million. http://wordondastreet.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/06/jtia.jpg Thank you, Miss Lisi, you can take several seats with those tightie whities. ;) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j-S7h9YeKIc

Well Vicky, I had four alternate plans for final 3.

Plan 1 was Kait and Elena because while I adore Kait, her social game was rather lacking. And Elena's gameplay wasn't as prominent as others.

Plan 2 was Elena and Connor because they were a pair I could possibly control and like I mentioned prior, gameplay wasn't as prominent.

Plan 3 was two other Kendalls so I'd win by default... I was half asleep when I came up with the plan Plan 4 was anyone but Drew. You can see how well that worked out...

A few plans that included Ace and Drew had to be scrapped because I realized quickly that they were both playing the game hard and well. And like I said, my fragile ego wouldn't have been able to handle going up against either of them.

Emmon’s Jury Question

Kendall: I want you to tell me why I should give you my vote

Drew: tell me the flaws of your game, critique it please

Connor: I would compare your game to Cambodia Tasha thoughts? if you disagree name another player you played like

I would agree with your player pick to compare my game play too. I do believe my game play was more under the radar than Tasha’s was in Cambodia, but i do see the connections you made to her and I.

My main flaw this entire season has been the mentality that I am playing from the top. Whether it was always true at the times I was thinking it, it defined my game style. The pillars of my Pompeii life have been loyalty and strength. Both strong positive words, especially in pre-merge gameplay, but dangerous when taken to the extremes, as happened in a couple of points in my game.

I was loyal. Loyal to my voting group of seven at the merge and more loyal to my dream F5 within the seven and even more so to my dream F3 within the five. And those pecking orders showed. Not as extremely as they would have in a real game of Survivor, living on a beach with all of these people, but it showed. Having the loyalty that I did to those I was closest with and had the most plans to work with left me too rigid to seek out other and potentially better opportunities. Having Kait and Chris voted out in quick succession forced me to reevaluate everything I had planned out in the game in a way that I really hadn’t had to do since the first vote. That’s not to say that I brainlessly moved from the first vote to F6, so much thought went into a lot of the steps I took. But each of those moves was in service of the greater goal, but this was the point when the goal was no longer feasible. And I do think I rose to that occasion.

I was strong. And I mean this both in terms of challenge strength, winning five individual challenges, and strong in a position of playing from the top for most of the game. No matter how much conversation and planning existed within the people who trusted me enough to continuously vote with me, I controlled and dictated the game for all but two votes that I was a part of in this season. And I put in work to get there, pulling the vote together with Benjamin/Chris/Connor/Daquan to keep Chris the first vote, and systematically trying to eliminate everyone that tried to come for me or mine. This had the obvious disadvantage of having my name circulate for practically every vote as one of the core people that needed to go so others could rise. Beyond that, being the frontrunner, the challenge threat, the face of the group wasn’t something I ever shied away from, but it did weaken my position to be a part of discussions on the tribe, because if people wanted to make big moves, those moves weren’t going to include me, they were going to be against me. It wasn’t until F6 when I no longer held a firm hold on the majority, that I was forced to fight to change the game instead of just working within it, first trying to save Nicholas from his 3-2-1 blindside, and then by working to convince Connor and Elena to keep me in the game over Ace, who got the experience of playing from the bottom and having a couple of good moves under his belt. Part of staying was the promise made to Connor to keep him over Elena when we got to final four, the only concession I made this entire game, and a promise that I held to. I am loyal.

This strength certainly affected my ability to get there, and I also recognize it also hurts me now in the jury deliberation. Playing from a perceived position of strength demands that you stop as many, if not all, big moves from happening, because they were probably going to hurt me. As a result, my game was effective and strong, but it was not flashy, or even particularly impressive from an outside perspective. Kendall and Connor are going to get credit for making it here, where for me it was expected. Their moves are the moments where they disrupted the framework of the season, but I was the one who created that framework from nothing and maintained it for the vast majority of the season, and patched it back together when there were setbacks. And I think I deserve credit for that too.

Tl;dr: My faults in the game were loyalty and strength to the point of occasional blindness and lack of inclusion in the goings-on of plotting and the seedy “big move” underbelly of the tribe, and the fact that my control of the votes and the tribes over the course of the game resulted in a record that isn’t flashy or impressive to the jury.

Because I think I can understand you. I think you flipped pre merge because you didn't want to be Kait's sidekick, you didn't want to be her goat. I think you are ashamed of yourself for this weakness, for being a follower, for never getting out. I think you want to be self sufficient and it frustrates you that you can't be. I think you are against yourself. And quite frankly so am I. I always despised myself for being so weak and more often than not, have blown up my game just to prove a point. I'm probably projecting but I think I'm right. I defeated myself. I overcame my fears, my lack of restraint, my self loathing. I had to control who I was, I had to learn how to weaponize it. That's more than what Connor and Drew have ever done. You should vote for me because I defeated my weaknesses. You should vote for me because I proved you right. I proved that the 'sidekicks' can be more than just that. That we can rise above our fears, that we can become something greater. (insert dark knight theme here)

Kendall’s Opening Speech

Back in 1999 before the internet, before people realized that Star Wars prequels were a bad idea, before Buffy jumped the shark, before Emmon was even born; there was a band named Lit. It wasn’t a good band, I’m not sure if they were still are still around or if they all overdosed on crack or whatever. Anyway, the band was irrelevant as fuck but they released one song that was amazing. Well, for the nineties/early two thousands anyway… It was called ‘I am my Own Worst Enemy’. And never in my life had I found a song so descriptive of who I am and my own gameplay. I am a very flawed person. I have a hard time talking to others. I often overthink every detail and end up causing more harm than good. I am paranoid to the point where I can’t trust people in my everyday life. And I have an inferiority complex, one that could lead me to jump ship just to prove I am better than the others. I went into this game knowing that my flaws will tear me apart. That I could possibly self destruct and get out pre-jury. So I made a truce. With myself. Instead of repressing who I am and what makes me weak. I weaponized it. I purposefully surrounded myself with people I felt inferior to. People whose names and egos will block me and shield me from any enemies. (There is a reason why my name wasn’t written down until the final 4) I used my poor social skills to seek out other players with difficulty socializing. Because we would have a lot in common and I would need a layout of what’s happening down below. (Okay, truthfully it wasn’t premeditated it just sort of happened and ended up working out but I’m taking credit for it anyway). My paranoia served as intuition, I was able to temper my impulsiveness with my constant fear of failure. Some of you may thinking ‘Suuurrreee Jan’. And that is understandable. From your perspective I haven’t done anything of great importance. This is because I didn’t let anyone see. I was a covert operative (in the words of Phillip Shepard). I never did anything that could put my game in danger or that could give any attention to myself. Because while going out there and showing off your idols or your incredible strategy can build up a great resume, it also shortens your lifespan in the game. And as someone who has difficulty talking to others and someone who comes up with zany schemes that could only work 30% of the time. Final 7 is when I allowed myself to cut loose and wreak havoc. Ace approached me with an offer to work together, as we both were close with Victor. (my friendship with the other weirdos paid off). I was able to convince Elena to vote for Chris, while I voted for Ace. This is because I am very flamboyant in my voting and I couldn’t rely on Elena to emulate it. This was a bit of a double gambit. Because if I got rid of Drew at the final five and lost immunity at the final four, I would need a way to ensure a tie. And testing Elena’s loyalty was a perfect place to begin. I didn’t want Drew to know I flipped. I needed to stay in his head, to have a good idea of every action he would take. Final 6, Drew won immunity and had an idol. He could have let me get eaten the wolves but through convincing and logic, he played his idol on me (Granted I didn’t get voted out anyway, but I needed to flush out his idol before the final 5). And then the Final 5 came. And well, as they say “the best laid plans of mice and men often go awry”. As it turns out, that applies to females as well. Usually when a person commits ’treason’, they are eliminated as quickly as possible. Especially when the person you tried to flip on is the one who is safe. But the thing is, my caution paid off. I was so well hidden that I was able to escape Drew’s wrath. He voted for Elena, ensuring a tie and giving me a ticket to the final 3. I wasn’t able to succeed in my main goal but because of my foresight, alibis, and other’s perception of me, I was still able to get here. Some of you may say that the fact I didn’t take any risks would make me unworthy. I never took any risks but that is because I always put myself in a position where risks would be unnecessary. I kept Kait because she was a former winner, one who would be actively targeted, and someone who I could trust not to throw me under the bus. I pegged Drew as a threat mid merge but I also knew he had two idols and was someone who I would need so I bid my time. A general never sacrifices herself in the line of fire, she lets the heroic ones go first. That being said, I am not a puppeteer. If I had been, I can promise you that the final 3 line up would have been very different. But I was never a puppet. I had full autonomy. Because I knew who I was and I knew what I was capable of. For all my weakness, I learned to adapt. When something went wrong I knew when to pick myself back up. Some may call my actions cowardice, some may call my overall game a failure, most have probably stopped reading a paragraph in because they knew I probably wouldn’t take this seriously and go off on a tangent about music. What I call it is the technical definition of a survivor. A person who knows how to adapt in dangerous situations. A person who could survive any catastrophic events that befall them.

So if you think I was weak, if you think my game play was unworthy, then you are disregarding what it truly means to survive. So in the words of some irrelevant mom person from season 2: “In the spirit of the Olympics, let the games begin!!!!!!!”
