Episode 5: Austin is a psycho maniac
I'M SORRY IT'S NOT A VIDEO YET
Okay so Richie and I have just been talking about how we needed to win this one challenge to make merge--and then the merge just falls into our laps?? I'm still in shock. I'm not sure what to think that if the "plan" was for AJ to just act and then they vote out Tyler?
The game just changed. It's scary to know that people can make a move like that. I'm excited to move into the individual phase, but I need to stay under the radar somehow, while still making good connections with others. It'll be tough, but nothing that's worth it isn’t.
So either I'm really good at playing people or people are really good at trusting me. I'm not entirely sure which of them it is.
AJ tried to blindside Austin because I don't know. Blindsides are fun. It didn't work because Tyler did a self-vote and we sent out Ryan. Then AJ threw a huge fit in the tribe chat calling everyone out basically.
He just said that me and Austin are riding on the coattails of Jay and that we have no chance and etc. He then said he would be throwing the challenges so he could hurry up and go home. I'm just.. okay.
I clarified stuff with him, like telling him that Jay did indeed have not one but two idols and that was cute. I also clarified how he got to the idols (me giving him the link so he could search).
Our team won the reward challenge anyway because we're not awful even if the full tribe isn't participating and then AJ asked to go to tribal instead of making us wait for the immunity challenge. Everyone agreed after some debate.
So Jay messages me saying that he's going to play both idols just to be safe and I told him not to be silly. AJ couldn't have found an idol, the receipts he provided are fake. He says that Jay may have faked the fake receipt so that it looks even more suspicious and I'm just sitting here face-palming. I once more told Jay not to use them and he decided we should split the votes instead.
I liked this plan better because it's virtually impossible for AJ to have found two idols so at the very least either Tyler or AJ would be the one voted off. That plan worked and we made it a tie. Then on the revote we sent Tyler because AJ wanted to. Keeping people who self-destruct their game is a plus!
Tyler became the first juror and then we merged!
Wow I sure do love stacking blocks
The moment we merge Richie messages me with some piping hot tea.
That's how he words it. I still have my final two going strong with Richie. It is really cute. He's so sweet and never lies to me.
So the piping hot tea was that he opened box three and that it had a paper in it from Taj. I told him that Jay had in fact found the idol from box three and that the note was left to confuse whoever found the idol next.
Anyway, he told me that he had been searching hard for the idol in chest two since it was the only one left in the game and that there were only seven options left to search from.
I... up to this point have been doing a lackluster job of hunting for the idol. Because I'm a flop. Or because I forget. Or a combination of all of those things. But - anyway I asked which ones he did not search so maybe we could put our efforts together and make sure others don't find the idol. He sent me his list of numbers and I had already searched three...
So our odds improved. And then.. BAM! I searched 901 and it opened up and got me an idol. Good news! I have an idol, bad news I have to leave a note.
Also, good news. The final two unbreakable magical bond TO THE EXTREME between Richie and I is strengthened by the totem of power we hold between the two of us. So that's fun.
I think we're going to name our tribe after bread or something. Which, to be honest, is a better name than Wine Mom any day.
I- when did merge happen? This is so fast
I'm infuriated. I'm completely heartbroken that we gave up immunity AND voted out Tyler. Austin literally LAUGHED IN HIS FACE as he was blindsided. As he was being voted out Tyler messaged me "pls no". I feel like a jackass. Austin is my friend, but he is despicable in this game. He's just playing for shit's and giggles at this point, he told me many times that he just doesn't care. I put 100% of my effort into every game I play. Just because it's a side season doesn't mean I give less of my effort into this game. I have 2 idols that I've sat on for two tribals where i've felt iffy about the vote. I think one has to be played at the merge tribal if I don't have immunity.
[2016-07-04, 12:56:58 AM] Chips: I figured since AJ was dragging people openly in the tribe chat I should come in and do the opposite.
[2016-07-04, 12:57:03 AM] Chips: Also, lol.
[2016-07-04, 12:57:06 AM] Chips: Tyler was clearly reading it.
[2016-07-04, 12:57:12 AM] Chips: Because he messaged me asking where the stone mountain was.
[2016-07-04, 12:58:04 AM] Chips: So I sent him the ilnk.
[2016-07-04, 12:58:05 AM] Chips: *link
[2016-07-04, 12:58:07 AM] Chips: And he gave me his clue.
[2016-07-04, 12:58:10 AM] Chips: Which was how to find the link.
[2016-07-04, 12:59:01 AM] Chips: So it was useless. But it was him showing me he trusted me.
[2016-07-04, 12:59:14 AM] Chips: :$
[2016-07-04, 12:59:21 AM] Brian (Kauai Host): So why vote him out?
[2016-07-04, 12:59:31 AM] Chips: Because AJ wanted to get voted off.
[2016-07-04, 12:59:33 AM] Chips: And you know.
[2016-07-04, 12:59:39 AM] Chips: I just don't like spoiling people.
[2016-07-04, 12:59:42 AM] Brian (Kauai Host): Interesting
[2016-07-04, 12:59:54 AM] Chips: Plus AJ is gonna blow up Austin and Jay's game faster than he does mine.
[2016-07-04, 1:00:00 AM] Chips: So keeping him in will do me more good than bad.
[2016-07-04, 1:00:15 AM] Brian (Kauai Host): Got it
[2016-07-04, 1:00:25 AM] Chips: People are so tough to manage.
[2016-07-04, 1:00:29 AM] Chips: Gotta go out and meet new people.
I'm so excited that I made the merge /and/ Jury! My feelings on everybody at this point in this game:
AJ: I really like AJ. They told me all about the last pre-merge tribal council and what down to cause them to forfeit immunity and Tyler being voted out which shows to me that they trust me and think I'm a good person to confide in. The more people that think they can tell me their secrets the better tbh.
Austin: I bonded really well with Austin when were on a tribe together and the fact that we both survived the swap and made it to the merge is amazing because I'm really open to working with him in this game. That being said, I know he has a really strong connection with Jay which AJ is weary about so I need to keep an eye on that and make sure it doesn't ruin anything.
Chris: I've played a few games with Chris, we've never really bonded. In this game I'm going to try and bond with him as much as possible and hopefully strike up a level of trust going forward.
Gabe: Gabe confessed to me that he is really close with Richie and that they have a connection with each other. I'd definitely be open to working with both of them but people that have strong connections are on my radar and similar to Austin and Jay, I need to watch that duo.
Jay: I talked to Jay a little bit when he was allowed to come to our tribe and we found common ground with the fact that his boyfriend or bestfriend (I'm not sure which he meant) lived in England and not too far away from me which is pretty cool. Hopefully I can work with him and Austin moving forward but I definitely want to keep on eye on him.
Kyle: I get a weird vibe from Kyle. I like him but at the same time, he seems kind of shady to me and like he's being observant of everybody and not really trying to talk to much or create waves within the tribe. I'm keeping my eye on him.
Nicole: My queen. I've played games with her before, I have a feeling she trusts me and hopefully we can work together more in this game than we did in previous games. I really like Nicole and working with her throughout this game is my ideal scenario right now because I feel like I can trust her.
Richie: I talked to Richie the most out of anybody after the tribe swap and I feel like we're on the same wavelength in this game and would definitely be open to working with him.
Sam: I like him!! When we were going to do the trivia challenge we were on call for like...3 minutes and he seems really cool and hopefully we can try and get something going.
In conclusion, I'm open to working with everybody and keeping my eye on...everybody. lmao

Thank GOD I escaped that personal hell but honestly it was heard, the last two rounds have been a MESS.
Okay so like after losing immunity in the first round, my target was Austin. During that round I gained a lot of information, with Jay even telling me he had an idol. I tried to use this to my advantage and attempt for him to flush his idol while Tyler, Ryan and I all vote Austin. This plan flopped because I accidentally voted the wrong person when talking to Abbey, Ryan was the only one who voted the right way because Tyler self-voted and unfortunately he got voted out because he got caught in the crossfire of my scheming.
After that round I felt like I had no one so I was PISSED. I went off in the tribe chat, exposing Jay and his idol. I said that I would be throwing both reward and immunity (I was only able to throw one). I basically yelled at everyone because I really thought I was going home. It even got to the point where I got my tribe to agree to forfeit immunity and immediately go to tribal where I went off some more SURPRISINGLY I STAYED AND TYLER LEFT.
AND WHAT HAPPENED NEXT? MERGE CAME. AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH. I'M SO PROUD OF MYSELF I'M GETTING SHIT DONE.

The Wa'Luigi tribe (gag) is cute but this week? I'm going to try and take out Jay. Let's see if it works.
okay so much has happened and i dont even know where to start?? nukoloa won the last reward challenge and then all of a sudden we found out that they forfeited immunity and everyone was like ...what? and im my head i was thinking "omg me jay and chris had that alliance before the swap so jay, tyler, and chris (original hanalei members) must have given up tribal immunity because they have a 3-2 advantage over original Koloa members and if they forfeit immunity then they can vote one of them out, spare me and sam from the dangerous 4-2 situation we were in, and have us go to the merge with 5-5 numbers and an idol thats GENIUS!!!!" um... BITCH I WAS WRONG AS FUCK!!!!!!! WE JOINED THE MERGE CHAT AND I SEE THAT TYLER WAS VOTED OUT AND MY BRAIN GOES CRAZY.....
the second that we merged jay messages me saying "THAT WAS THE DUMBEST THING IVE EVER BEEN CONVINCED TO DO.. I FEEL LIKE A COMPLETE JACK ASS... Austin thought it would be funnt to completely fuck over tyler and chris said i guess so i kinda had to go along with it even tho i rather not" and at this point im so lost like... how did this happen amd jay continues to tell me that he has austin 100% but austin is a jackass and he wants him out ASAP as soon as we have the numbers to axe him... and my brain just isn't computing anything that was being said and i watched the video of the google hangout from the tribal council and it still didnt make sense to me so whew this is wild...
so basically my perception of the tribe dynamics based on the very little information i have this could be 100% wrong but you know jeff probst always says "in survivor perception is reality":
ausin is a psycho maniac that is a wildcard and willing to fuck over anyone and do whatever he wants, chris told me that austin admitted that he's playing a "goat game" because he's in another season that he's focused on and thats why chris isnt worried about austin, but hello i dont care about that at this point im focused on making it to the end and having the confidence in my own game to beat whoever im sitting next to so i dont care that i can beat austin in the end bc he's a "goat" if he's going to fuck everything up and cause chaos for the entire path to the end that can mess up my game!!! whew anyway... austin and jay are in the center power positions.. austin has jay and he has luke and kyle and jay has chris so that group makes 5 (PLUS JAY HAS TWO IDOLS!!! and chris has the other) so basically... they're in a very solid position right now and yes im aligned with chris and jay but im jay's #3 at the highest and austin's #6 so... how does that help me? i dont think it does but theres nothing i can do about it right now because chris wont listen to me when i talk about austin and im on good terms with gabby and sam and aj is desperate so we COULD have 4 and nicole? literally who is she???? its just.. not looking good right now idk im scared that if we dont make a move now we're never going to have the opportunity to make a move but also the numbers aren't there for me to go against the larger majority especially when im on the outskirts of that side so it would be like turning against allies and teaming up with people i dont know or talk to... but i dont talk to austin luke or kyle... UGHHHH ITS SUCH A MESS!!!
on the bright side: i won immunity with my flag, i named the tribe after waluigi, i know where all 3 idols are, i have good relationships with chris, gabby, sam and mediocre level relationships with aj, luke, and jay...
idk i may just vote out aj tonight because its better to be in the majority at this point when theres still a full tribe i just... wouldnt be mad if somehow something went wrong.. idk maybe i can try and create paranoia to get jay to flush one of his idols tonight so he's not as protected down the road idk maybe ill just shut up and say if its not me then dont put a target on my back... wow im cracked!
[2016-07-06, 4:58:17 PM] Richie: DRAMA IN THE MAIN CHAT AHH IM WET
[2016-07-06, 6:25:43 PM] Richie: Honestly? I may just be messy and vote for Nicole because she hasn't talked to me once and the votes are being split between aj and jay and jay is playing his idol
[2016-07-06, 6:26:42 PM] Richie: I figure she's probably going to self vote since she's never here so if I vote for her and something goes terribly wrong then she'll leave or I get to be transparently playing the middle and refusing to decide between voting for aj or jay
[2016-07-06, 6:27:27 PM] Richie: Fuck I hate mobile
[2016-07-06, 6:28:31 PM] Richie: I know gabby Chris jay and ¿Austin? Are voting for aj... Kyle aj are voting for jay.. Luke could be doing either i dont know I think he's drunk??? Then Sam and Nicole aren't here
[2016-07-06, 6:29:30 PM] Richie: So I'm guessing it will be 4-3-1-1 or maybe 5-2-1-1 without my vote???
AJ is crazy and I'm idolling no matter what. That is all.
