Tumblr Survivor Bora Bora

April 15, 2016 - June 26, 2016

Tumblr Survivor Bora Bora was such an experience for Jonathan & I, almost 5 months ago I finally got to host my dream season that I waited a year and a half for. All 25 of you each brought something to the table, and I am so glad that I go to not only meet all of you, but to have great conversations with each of you and watch you play your hearts out. I couldn’t have asked for a better cast and a better season. Each moment will live on within Tumblr Survivor, and will stick with me. I want to thank each of you individually for not only applying, but sticking through it all, even though it got messy in some parts. You made Bora Bora a dream come true. This will be the final post on this blog and will officially and finally close Bora Bora’s chapter. I think the best way to close it is with what Kenneth said in his jury speech. Life is a whirlwind, take this in stride and keep growing.

BORA BORA SASS AWARDS

My 25 babies, here is my take on the sass awards that are FINALLY rolling out

Life Is A Whirlwind, Take This In Stride and Keep Growing

Lexi (Ponderosa Diary)

Eddie was finally voted out and the world is back to greatness it was before I supposed. I’m surprised there hasn’t been any major fights yet but then I looked back into the chat and saw Jordan come for his weave pretty badly and then Eddie deleting his “….” message like girl at least stand behind that flop of a message if you aren’t going to say anything else fdkgj

[6/18/16, 11:19:52 AM] Jordan<3 Marie: oh good its final 5 again [6/18/16, 11:21:19 AM] ☼Dustin - Bora Bora Host☼: again? [6/18/16, 11:21:32 AM] Jordan<3 Marie: ya because now everyone who had a chance is still playing [6/18/16, 11:21:39 AM] Jordan<3 Marie: so f5 :) [6/18/16, 11:25:16 AM] Younior- TS: Tenochtitlan Host : Not this shade >.> [6/18/16, 11:25:58 AM] Jordan<3 Marie: its not even shade I don’t like his ass and I’m pretty sure nobody was voting for him to win [6/18/16, 11:26:00 AM] Jordan<3 Marie: itsthe truth [6/18/16, 11:26:02 AM] Jordan<3 Marie: :) [6/18/16, 12:52:39 PM] Younior- TS: Tenochtitlan Host : Well I can’t wait for rivals >.> [6/18/16, 2:56:15 PM] Eddie Bracco: This message has been removed.

honestly jordan is my new fave in ponderosa….

In other words, I think everyone has a great chance of winning (besides Nicole). I really hope Ian or Renee win but I don’t know how smart it would be for people to take them to the end so mhm we shall see with this immunity. The only bad thing is, is that Renee does not like survivor so I hope she actually took my advice and looked at the wiki for a bit at least. Nicole…. I don’t get what she is trying to do with her voting confessionals. Why would you ever admit you are the goat in such a passive aggressive way.. Like yeah I love self awareness but don’t be a shady bitch about it. Do something that doesn’t make you a goat like GOD! This is really not a good look.

Also if I hear one more time about how I have a premake from the people that knew me before the game as well as others…. hands will be thrown! Like I’m in 5 fandoms and hosted a lot of games… of course I know people? Like anyways! Ironically the main person screaming about outside talking or whatever is the one talking in every chat about their game when the entire jury is there zzzzz. I’m over it.gif

Low key, I would love to see Kenneth’s icon in the winner chart……

Jenn

Final 5 be like…

[1:37:22 AM] ☼Dustin - Bora Bora Host☼: you have to realize tho [1:37:29 AM] ☼Dustin - Bora Bora Host☼: you may be at the top of the food chain [1:37:35 AM] ☼Dustin - Bora Bora Host☼: but the food chain can alternate [1:37:42 AM] ☼Dustin - Bora Bora Host☼: and the chain can be an illusion

Okay, I know I need to recap everything that happened with the Eddie vote and what not, and finding the idol to keep my vote against count at 0 (technically), but man, do I regret wanting to make ROP. Be careful what you wish for right? Trying to think of something to say for 21 different people has me like:

*Moments Later*

(I think my last confessional was talking about how much I wanted Eddie out and I’m writing some of this instead of doing it all on video so it’s not super long this time)

First and foremost, fuck that maze challenge. It’s just like me to over complicate things, but it was so frustrating to be told: wall! wall! wall! Kenneth ended up winning, which wasn’t the worse case scenario. After Junior’s blindside, Kenneth had come to me saying we should work together, and all day I’d been debating about giving him the idol clue. With him winning and getting reward, I didn’t have to tell him the clue now, but I still needed to earn trust with him so he’d tell me what it was. I decided to extend an olive branch and send him everyone I’d already guessed. i screenshot all my guesses, so he knew I was telling the truth. He was pretty open with the clue, and said he was going to pass it on to Renee which I didn’t like but I guess was only fair since I shared it with Nicole. Now Kenneth winning wasn’t too bad, because it meant that I could still target one of the boys. Nicole and Kenneth had already talked to me about splitting the vote 2/2/2, which had worried me because I didn’t want those votes on me and I didn’t feel like I could rely on Renee to not flip and vote me out.

Eddie being Eddie kept telling me I was safe and that he and Ian were voting Renee. This is what made me paranoid, because Kenneth having immunity meant we only had one option to vote for on “that side” and I was nervous that Ian and Eddie would be paranoid about her having an idol and voting for me. To be honest, it was a quiet day because all the plans had already been laid. I made it clear to Renee that I was on her side now, and was in no way voting her out. I think we bonded a little bit over the fact that we knew it could be either of us going if one of us flipped on the other. My relationship with her feels like Tony and Spencer from Cagayan, I just haven’t figured out who’s who yet.

Dustin announces in the tribe chat that he’s got all the votes and is ready to start tribal, when I get a message from cracked Nicole freaking out about making the wrong decision. So we both told Dustin to wait, which I’m sure looked shady to everyone else in the tribe chat that he wasn’t going ahead with it right away, but oh well. Nicole starts telling me that this is a mistake, Renee should just go blah blah blah and I actually considered flipping my vote. But then I knew that Kenneth would be pissed at me, I couldn’t trust the boys, and it became clear to me that Nicole was closer to Eddie and Ian than I was and that they’re little group of 3 was actually something serious and legit. She was scared that Renee and Kenneth would actually vote for one of us and then we’d be screwed on a revote. I thought maybe we could split between Renee and Ian and tie the vote 3-3, but there was too much going on. I just wanted to stick with the plan at this point, I was ready to risk it to make a move. Nicole was talking to Dustin about something, and all of a sudden she comes back to me like “oh never mind, Dustin just confirmed the votes to me so were all good”. At this point I’m beyond lost, and she’s telling what Dustin told her which I don’t think confirms the vote at all but if it calmed her down then by all means, let’s do this thing.

The vote comes out and it’s a 3 way tie between Eddie, Ian and Renee. Whew, that could not have worked out better because I keep my 0 votes against and I’m guaranteed Final 5 because over my dead body am I going to rocks. The vote also shows me that although I’m still skeptical about Renee and Kenneth, we’re making progress. Nicole messaged me after the vote and said we’re voting Eddie right? I knew Renee and Kenneth had wanted Ian out, but if Nicole and I both voted Eddie then it didn’t even matter where Kenneth voted. So off I go to send in my vote. Now were just waiting for Kenneth to get home, so I’m just swaying in the breeze, happy as a clam, UNTIL I GET THIS MESSAGE FROM NICOLE:

[2016-06-17 10:46:11 PM] nicole g: honestly jenn, this is how it is. i know for everyone else, i’m the goat if Eddie leaves. Sitting between me and Ian is the ultimate ftc bc no matter what you win. I know that might not be the case for you because we had a f2 and I really want to honor it even if it means you win but, I’m just annoyed because nobody wants to be thought of like that. I don’t want to waste my time playing a game where I am the one who is getting dragged to the end and none of my moves are going to matter if I sit next to Renee or Kenneth. So I voted Renee. Eddie is going to convince Kenneth since he’s immune to vote Ian and force rocks, unless you vote Renee too. I know this sucks and this is dumb but I really can’t afford to be waiting to get 3rd place and have people act like all I did was get dragged to the end. I’m telling you in advance because I do value your friendship and our f2 and if I lost to you, it’s whatever. But I’m not dumb and I know that you’d totally demolish anyone at ftc. But so would Renee, so would Kenneth. I can’t have that and so I am taking control of it even if it means I’m voted out, because my game is just a mess anyway. So I put in my vote, I’m going to bed. What you want to do is up to you but I’m not wavering in my vote, I’m sorry.

I don’t know whether to laugh or cry. I was determined to get one of the boys out this round. Me? A Renee warrior? More likely than you think. Eddie was making the rounds pleading to everyone about why we should keep him. He basically promised to vote Nicole out next and guaranteed that I would make Final 4. This isn’t my first rodeo, and I wasn’t going to fall face first into that bullshit. Clearly he got to Nicole though, and that’s fine. I don’t know how threatening me to go to rocks was a good plan though, considering if I couldn’t convince Kenneth to vote Eddie with me, I was flipping my vote to Ian and taking a chop at Eddie’s legs. I hope that gained me points with Renee. Kenneth finally comes home, and being the godsend that he is, gets Nicole to calm down to the point where she was going to flip her vote back if she was allowed to, and agrees to vote Eddie with me even though he clearly wants Ian out still. Wild.

Then I get the following:

[2016-06-18 1:25:57 AM] nicole g: Don’t mind me I’m such a dumb bitch [2016-06-18 1:29:30 AM] nicole g: Like I’m so dramatic for no reason why did I let Eddie’s last plea to me ACTUALLY get to me like holy shit. [2016-06-18 1:29:58 AM] nicole g: Like he said I had no chance and literally made me change my vote…..I’m so upset at how dumb I was.

Nicole, if you’re reading this now, I’m 100% honest when I say that I have never thought you were a goat. The reason I made a final 2 with you was because I thought it would be a fair fight. We’ve made decisions together, the Victor vote primarily that started it all off, and you have the Junior blindside over me, where I have know about those two idols over you. I’m not telling you this because it’ll give you a reason to vote me out next, but if I’m on jury, you’ve got my vote. You can be crazy sometimes but all the best people are.

Eddie leaves and now I have to do damage control with Ian. I let him know that I never wanted him out, that I wasn’t voting for him, I’m glad he’s still here, etc. He seemed to understand,  but I’m watching my back. Anyone can betray anyone.

*Moments Later*

I cannot believe I’m losing Renee’s jury vote as we speak…

[6:53:50 PM] Renee: Are you voting me :| [6:54:58 PM] Jennifer: I think I have to. I don’t know how anyone can beat you. [6:55:22 PM] Jennifer: I wanted to tell you earlier because I learned my mistake from Toopuati [6:55:36 PM] Renee: You’re kidding [6:55:51 PM] Renee: You honestly won’t win I did the math like I [6:56:07 PM] Renee: Eddie genki would never vote me so if Ian goes that vote goes to you [6:56:13 PM] Jennifer: I can’t win with you either! You have at least 5 locked votes [6:56:17 PM] Renee: Then it’s 6-2-1 [6:56:19 PM] Renee: I have 2… I [6:56:37 PM] Jennifer: Victor, Lexi, Ryan, Kaci and Kenneth. Most likely Jordan too. [6:56:53 PM] Renee: Junior genki Eddie Lexi Kaci won’t vote me [6:56:59 PM] Renee: Victor will probably vote Nicole [6:57:27 PM] Jennifer: You have this amazing redemption story arc and all those competition wins. [6:58:21 PM] Renee: F3- Jenn/Ian/Nicole Nicole- Victor Ian- Genki/Eddie/Jordan/Kaci/Renee Jenn- Junior/Lexi Ryan/Kenneth??? [6:58:39 PM] Renee: That’s what would happen except idk where Ryan and Kenneth would go [6:59:15 PM] Renee: You and Ian played very similar games though so their votes could easily go to him [7:01:56 PM] Jennifer: F3- Jenn/Renee/Nicole Nicole- Renee-Victor/Lexi/Kenneth/Jordan/Ryan/Kenneth/Kaci Jenn-Junior Eddie/Ian/Genki probably vote you too since Nicole and I fucked them over as well [7:02:13 PM] Renee: Lexi and Kaci literally won’t vote me I [7:02:19 PM] Jennifer: How would Lexi not vote you? [7:02:23 PM] Renee: I lied to Lexi and made her mis play her idol [7:02:38 PM] Renee: And then I didn’t tell her when she was getting voted off [7:02:50 PM] Jennifer: I didn’t tell her either [7:02:55 PM] Renee: And I voted out Kaci when I specifically said “I would never” [7:03:05 PM] Renee: Yeah but shes like.. Really bitter [7:03:31 PM] Jennifer: and I’ve hardly ever spoken to kaci so maybe she goes to nicole [7:03:39 PM] Renee: Victor goes to Nicole too [7:03:45 PM] Jennifer: over you? [7:03:54 PM] Renee: They were in a premake i [7:05:03 PM] Renee: And Eddie and genki literally.. I didn’t talk to them like did you read my ROP to genki I didn’t know what to say [7:05:32 PM] Jennifer: The problem is that it’s mostly you and Ian who’s allies are on the jury. [7:05:45 PM] Renee: And against Ian you definitely don’t get those votes like 100% [7:05:57 PM] Renee: Ian played a kinder game than I did like [7:09:28 PM] Jennifer: I mean, I would like to think I’m close with Eddie and Genki, or was. I don’t want to discount anything. Yeah, but it’s you who survived the lagoon for so long, its you who won so many challenges, its you who was on the bottom and constantly a target but survived, its you with like 15 votes against and still here, its you who hasn’t blatantly turned on people [7:10:10 PM] Renee: I cant believe [7:10:28 PM] Renee: :| why did you lie to me this morning zzz [7:11:29 PM] Renee: Nah it’s gucci [7:11:39 PM] Jennifer: Because Nicole and I have had a final 2 since the first swap when we were both on Faanui and we couldn’t risk you and Ian tying it against her. [7:11:56 PM] Renee: I honestly think youd beat me but ok [7:12:41 PM] Renee: I cant believe .. this meninist season is going to end with a male winner [7:12:43 PM] Jennifer: I don’t know if I can beat anyone at this point [7:12:44 PM] Renee: Zzz [7:18:33 PM] Jennifer: I guess our tumultuous game together ends the way it started. [7:18:53 PM] Renee: You voting me out ? :| [7:20:39 PM] Jennifer: Yeah and just never being on the same page about things and me voting you, us working together, you voting me etc. [7:21:38 PM] Renee: I voted you once. Last week. Because I knew you would beat me in ftc. And everyone else told me they were doing it too let’s be real. [7:22:51 PM] Jennifer: Okay, well the only other time I voted you during the merge everyone told me they were as well. Because I knew you would beat everyone.

If I played like Ian… If Nicole or I don’t win… If I’m wrong about this… If people don’t believe that Nicole and I were pulling the strings from behind the scenes… I WILL CRY A RIVER OF TEARS

*Moments Later*

I thought I’d made a quick confessional just to celebrate that I’m in Final 3! I know I most likely lost Renee’s jury vote with what happened last night, but I’m super excited to be here and just, not worry about things for once. Like, I’ve come as far as I could in this game and that’s a great feeling.

I’m a little worried about saying something in opening speeches or my jury answers to piss off either the jury, or more importantly Nicole and Ian who I consider close friends now, but I still want to win.

*Moments Later*

Welcome to tea time hummus!

I’m answering jury questions right now, but as a I continue to be fake, here’s a sneak peak at my real strategy this season:

Lexi (Ponderosa Diary)

That really awks moment when you have no idea who to vote for but you have been in jury for 84 years :)

I have narrowed it down to Ian and Jenn but I still have no idea what I should do at this point? half of my heart is like yas vote for Jenn! She has played three times! Let ha live! but the other half says nah man nah! Vote for Ian! The guy who added you on snapchat before Jenn!

I am so fucking stuck it hurts me right now.

Ian = Eddie / Renee / Victor

Jenn = Junior

Nicole = who the fuck knows….

Low key I am thinking Jenn right just because she put so much effort into the game after playing for so long and getting robbed every time and her jury responses were so on point and I am a feminist… but also i sympathize with Ian’s game a bit more? A newbie in a returnee season where everyone thought you would flop the moment you signed up for the game? I have no idea what to do at this point. Idk… I really do not know and I would hate to be the swing vote this game :/

*Moments Later*

Um everyone is a bit…. too much for me right now! Basically the vote could potentially go to a dead lock and tie between Ian and Jenn so each side is sort of trying to get someone to flip and the Ian side is trying to get me to flip to them and the Jenn side is trying to flip someone else and I think that is just really messy. The season has been messy and now the vote for the winner will be fucking messy like gawd can’t they just let fate decide what will happen like a normal fucking person!!!!!

Anyways so realistically I am my own person so Idk why everyone is trying to say “I really want this person to win” like girl the game is over!!!!! Let me make my own decision god. The question responses were iconic cause I can now put them on my resume but other responses left more to be desired? idk im a pretty simple person so if you kiss my ass i will love you forever :D :D

Genki (Ponderosa Diary)

Wow what a hilariously fun game. Honestly I knew I was gonna vote for Jenn the whole time, and anything that could have changed my mind was already asked by a jury member. So, I just wanted some fun cast ideas to go with it.

Hohoho Kenn and Ryan both thought I was being fake nice the whole time, which kinda empowered me but hurt my feelings at the same time. They actually implied “omg Genki’s actually nice, he’s acting the same as he was during the game!!! *surprise face* But, it seemed fake during the game” rip

Welp, I guess this season has given me a new found hatred for the bike emoji and a new found love for Junior. I feel like our relationship will just always be unrequited and not mutual. *stares longingly out the window* Tbh I’m kinda jealous of Jenn for playing a game where she had everyone’s trust and information THE WHOLE TIME, like if I was bitter I would vote against her because of my envy streak. But whatever, she’s great and she has finally surpassed her 52 day streak and found the throne. I feel like if Bora Bora was a horror movie, Nicole and Ian were the main characters the whole time, while we were assuming Jenn was. BUT NO. THE MAIN GIRL WAS THE KILLER. She was behind every single death(except for pre-merge where people were just killing each other out of paranoia. #plottwist Kenneth was the black guy that everyone assumed died first, but actually was saved along with white girl Kaci(trips and shows her screaming and cuts to black) and fighter Renee. The Lagoon was where the killer sent people, but those 3 escaped. Unfortunately, none of them survived in the end.

NO NAME CONFESSIONAL

kenneth was robbed but anyway

There Are No Second Chances With Me

Jenn

Dead To Me List:

Eddie

Nicole

Ian

*Moments Later*

I’m still trying to calm down right now so here’s how I’m going to explain my thoughts…

My plan going forward when trying to get out Eddie

Me at Eddie going to Nicole to make this plan work when she just voted his ass out last round

Me at everyone who votes for Junior

AND FINALLY

ME GETTING ANGRY AND WANTING REVENGE

Lexi (Ponderosa Diary)

There is quite a few people on Ponderosa right now and honestly, I’m going to die if Renee doesn’t win the game. Her or Ian are my faves to win right now but I don’t think Ian has any shot of winning the game right now and everyone seems to want Renee’s head.

Like I dont get what the people in the game are doing with all these blindsides and upsets. That’s really poor jury management right now and like I’m still in shock over it tbh fdhkugj. I knew I was going home like I had the feeling but I’m positive most of these other homies didn’t see it either like Kaci Genki and Junior which in a way I am happy about. I told Junior he wouldn’t win and he didn’t so :)

Anyways, I’m still whet at Renee being in the game still. Eddie or Nicole won’t win so thats all that makes me happy!

Jenn

Along with everyone telling me about Junior’s idol, and Eddie now telling me he had a second one, that he’s heard from “sources”… Where is my academy award?! I am lying my ass off! This is an award winning performance! The Most Fake Winner is here!

But I’m also still super pissed so as much as I want to vomit being nice to these people, I have to keep #ChaosJenn in her cage for now.

Ian

*ONE BIG SIGH*

Ugh, this has been one stressful fucking week. First it was the fact that school had already started and two we just pulled another freaking blindside man. I mean I seriously adore Junior as a person but in a game stand point he was the next big jury threat and if Eddie was right he had an idol. Now like I’m in a Final 3 Alliance with Nicole and Eddie that I’m happy to be in. Renee is now pushing for an all newbie finals but I don’t want to get rid of Jenn. I feel like nobody knows we’re seriously close. I plan on trying to shift the target to Kenneth because even though he’s just like floating in the water if he continues to slip he’ll win hands down!

Also I’m tired of being treated like a puppet. I’m just pissed that like almost everyone sees that I’m Eddie’s puppet when in reality I’m the one who keeps Eddie’s paranoia to a minimum! He’d just like come to me and get all paranoid and I’m the one who decides on whether he should hit the brakes or floor it. Man, I just don’t want to finish this game looking like some stupid puppet.

Jenn

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dL2u_ZB3Z3k&feature=youtu.be

*Moments Later*

So I didn’t think Kenneth winning was that bad, because it left Eddie and Ian vulnerable, but splitting is scary now in case Eddie and Ian think Kenneth has the idol and will play it on Renee so they just vote for me. UGLY. Plus no one’s talking to me which probably isn’t a great sign but hey, not giving up.

Me at the people left in this game: http://prntscr.com/bhcr0m

#Selfportraitwithasideofpetty

*Moments Later*

This could very well be my last confessional so I’ll get this in while I still can: Hi Kait! Thanks for the support this season!

Nicole

The moment when you realized you lost Bora Bora.

Okay so, here it is! That time of the night where I’m so fucking upset with the make up of this Final 5 that I need to make a confessional! Okay. So suspecting Eddie is going tonight since we’re in the midst of a revote. I think I’m going to force rocks because….listen, this is just a game. and I’m sick of playing a game thats not fair. We’ve got Renee constantly playing off of what she had built with Victor and Lexi. She totalllllyyyyyyyyyyyy never got any help from them in any way whatsoever, socially or gamewise or whatnot. Renee will win because Victor and Lexi will beg their way to victory any way they can. Jenn, she’s a returnee and has friends on the jury, and if she won I wouldn’t be too mad but it’s just like a predictable ending. Eddie and Ian were my only chance and I turned on them not once, but twice. Oh yeah, and Kenneth could win at the end because nobody picked him in the gym style tribe pickings. Underdog story. I see no possible way I can win so I rather just go to rocks, and if it doesn’t go to rocks oh well. I know I’m the goat. and I had SUCH good plans. I made this plan up! I helped with Victor, Lexi, Ryan and Genki’s blindside plans, me and Jenn did most of the shit in this game. But it was unfair from the start, if you get my drift. So at this point the stakes are so low I’m just thinking…fuck it. Rock myself out. Let Eddie and Ian and Renee stay. Everyone’s fucked from here on out, they lost the goat. I’d be free from the never ending torture that is this game and all the alliances I was thrown into, while only really being 100% loyal to Jenn (except for this little bit right here…sorry Jennifer!) I just noticed I’m the goat, and I know that’s not the game I signed up to play and I am a better player than circumstances allowed. So I’m going to try to do what needs to be done. If I don’t get rocked out, whew everyone gets to keep the dumb goat and I’ll make it to ftc where people were explain to me…why I’m the goat. :) Anyways. I know I’m better than this and I wish I would have made more cracked ass confessionals when I needed Victor out, Lexi out, and Ryan out. But, it’s all just a game and I gotta do something dumb or I’m just gonna end up disappointing myself anyway.

[survivorborabora-blog]

I’m About To Win This Game

Jenn

Well that was unexpected. The last couple days have just been straight up weird, because it was so quiet. I was getting paranoid that Ian and Eddie were trying to blindside me, but I’m confident in the relationships that I had with Junior and Nicole  that if someone found out, they would tell me, and I would’ve bet a million dollars that Eddie and Ian wouldn’t flip to work with Jordan. Anyways, so this morning Kenneth and Jordan wanted to confirm that we were all voting Ian. Excuse me if I just avoid that conversation for a while. Nicole and I were chatting, wondering if we could get away with not really talking to Renee, so we didn’t have to flat out lie. No such luck, when she messages us literally right after we brought her name up. Talk about some creepy ass timing. Whatever, because Renee said she would vote Ian as well.

Now, I’m expecting the vote to be 5-Jordan and 3-Ian. A girl can dream, right? Jordan still went home, thank god, but Nicole was right, saying that they were trying to throw us off by saying they were voting Ian, so she ended up with three votes against. Renee voted against Nicole? Man, Victor got his claws in deep with her, huh? So much for that girls alliance, turns out the only members are me and Nicole. There was also a random Eddie vote tonight, which threw me for a loop. I knew it had to be someone from my tight group, so needless to say, it was crucial to find out who it was. Without even doing much digging, Nicole outed herself to me. Problem solved.

See, everything that happened tonight is actually perfect. By lying to me and Junior, Kenneth essentially voids any of the conversations we’ve had so he can’t use receipts against me. It would be like the pot calling the kettle black. He has to go soon anyways, can’t let him get to the end or I will literally campaign in jury for whoever he is sitting next to. Renee also lied to me, Junior and Nicole, so bye, nobody trusts her anyways. Then, by Nicole throwing her vote on Eddie, she’ll be targeted before me by the boys and I can continue to play the middle. She came clean to everyone about it, and Eddie told me he didn’t really care, but people have long memories in this game. Nicole told me that Ian now is convinced that Renee needs to go next, I think she pinned a lot of the stray vote on Renee because she said the plan was for both of them to vote Eddie but oh well, and I’m totally on board for that because Renee could bust out more challenge wins and then were all fucked.

I still haven’t gotten Eddie to spill the beans on the idol clue he got. If Genki’s idols were rehidden, it could be dangerous to keep Eddie around because at Final 5, he could idol out someone from my group of 3 and then, once again, my plans go up in flames.

I’m also super happy because I’ve tied my previous placement from Malaysia and still haven’t gotten any votes against. That probably means I’m next to go eh? Please, please, don’t do this to me.

If Anyone Can Win This Game, I Know She Can

Ian

Okay uhh OMG I can’t freaking believe that we pulled that blindside off. I was so WORRIED that Genki was gonna play one of his idols, but in the end he didn’t! I’m so glad that we did it!

Don’t get me wrong, Genki was one of my closest allies but he put the blame on the Kaci and Ryan vote on me and Eddie. He seriously fed us to the wolves with that move. Me, Eddie, Nicole, Jenn, Junior and Lexi were taking so much fire that day that I noticed why was Genki not being called out. That’s when I got the feeling that he’s literally in the BEST position in the game.

It came to mind that Genki told Jordan during the Kaci vote that we flipped. This really sparked the thought that he wasn’t fully looking after me but he was already planning for the endgame. Most of the people in the tribe think that Genki has one idol but what they didn’t know he has another one. I mean he had two freaking idols man, that’s deadly to all of us. Me and Eddie used that as ammo to convince Jenn and Junior to shift the target to Genki. Jenn ended up convincing Nicole and that meant the rest of the Port Mafia Alliance (except Genki) agreed on the plan and then we pulled it off. That tribal topped off that messy Victor vote with those stray votes but we managed to take out the biggest jury threat in the game and we got rid of Renee’s advantage. However we still need to worry about Jordan and Kenneth because I don’t now if they found the idol, so it’s imperative that we tuck Renee right in our pockets this round.

Jenn

So I was otherwise occupied all of yesterday, and I start playing this Casanova game only to find out that Ian is a couple hundred thousand ahead of me and that MJ got 12 million in this challenge in Generations apparently?! WTF? Okay work, but I might as well pack my bags now. Looks like I’m not continuing to play this game just to lose later on. You thought. Bye.

I’m in some deep, rough waters right now. This feels so risky, I’m sweating. The Anau boys wanted Jordan out, which I agree with because 1. he’s good at challenges and 2. see all my confessionals previously. Nicole wants Kenneth out though, which I can also see the benefit from because that breaks up his duo with Renee but I actually have a shot at beating him in challenges and he’s less of a wildcard. Because I’m going to anger either him or Jordan depending on which one of them I vote out. Now, if I get rid of Kenneth and piss Jordan off, Jordan could go into our alliance chat and expose everything I’ve said. Now, I don’t think I’ve said anything too incriminating in there, I notice Junior is online but avoiding it at all costs, except now they’re targeting Nicole. PUMP THE BRAKES ON THAT ONE SIS! If I didn’t tell her, that could get out too and I need her, now more than ever. So I let Nicole know, and tell her that I’ve convinced them to go with Ian because he and Eddie are a duo, but god help me if then Eddie and Ian feel like I’ve thrown them under the bus. Those boys already hate each other, so what if I added fuel to the fire? Burn baby burn!  

Nicole

since im going i should probably write a confessional huh

okay so basically in this game post-merge I’ve made no confessionals. My only alliance in this game that I am happy to stay loyal to is Jenn. Jenn and I ended up on the same tribe after the first merge and pretty much made a f2 right off the bat. If anyone can win this game, I know she can. Okay so let me give you the low down of what happened after merge up until now.

So after merge me and Jenn established our F2. Then Victor pulled me into an alliance with Lexi and Renee. Honestly………I wasn’t totally into that. So I joined up in the Port Mafia alliance with Ian, Eddie, Genki, Junior, Jenn and myself. Kind of played both sides, fed Jenn information which she used and we executed pretty much every post merge vote without getting blood on our hands.

But, tbh this game is kind of ridiculous. We’ve got Jordan saying things like:

[8:08 pm] Jordan<3 missabsol: fat people need to lose weight <<<

and he is still around. At first I found him bearable but now it’s just as a level that if I’m voted I’ll be find with it because he’s disgusting and I really don’t want to keep having to play with him. Between all the “premade” drama that I had to break out of by you know like……voting out everyone who people thought I was premade with ew and not getting the credit I deserve for moves I made and having to deal with people like Jordan, Bora Bora has not been a fun experience. I did however love my Loved Ones letters from Jordan Pines (sorry I flipped out bc I didnt know you lol) and Shareef (m'dad) and the hosts have been great. If I do get voted out, oh well, but I hope I’ll be back so I can show my true potential. Highkey, Jenn and I are in a really good position because we plant a lot of seeds like Victor’s vote and I kind of got Renee on board with Genki’s vote and she got Kenneth on board. But, shes doing a better job of it than I am and playing a much better game so if I lose tonight  I need her to win. Or else this season is just going to be………..eh. Another male dominated TS Season with a winner being part of the good old boys club! Womp womp womp. :)

No One Should Trust Me With Their Life

Jenn

[2:44:38 AM] Ian: You need to get something good Jenn cuz you need to keep celebrating this 52nd Day of Bora Bora

Oh my god, not Mr. Ian being the most supportive of all my allies. Thanks buddy! Also, can I pretty pretty please have a vote doubler Survivor gods? Thanks.

Genki

Auction Predictions

If everything goes as planned in the Port Mafia chat, this should be how the auction goes:

1. Ian bids $480 and blocks Kenneth out the auction (Makes Ken mad at Ian)

2. Ian bids $20 (Renee or Jordan could take it)

3. Eddie bids $500 for the idol clue (Securing us the idol)

4. Jordan bids to get the immunity advantage, Nicole bids a little bit

5. Jenn bids $500 for an advantage, putting a target on her back

6. ??? Probably me and hopefully something is hidden in the call (If not, the jury might just see this as a dumb move on my part)

7. Nicole bids most her money

8. Junior bids $480

9. Nicole and Junior, maybe me

Renee is the big question mark that could end up taking items from us, hopefully she is still inactive as heck

I was hoping everybody would do what Jenn and Eddie did and secure 6 items for our alliance, but I guess not rip

Jenn

That auction was a bust. I can’t believe Renee stole my celebratory “day 52 curse is over” gift with that advantage in the game! Ugh so basically the next few days could go very right or very wrong, and make or break my strategy but FUCK IT. If I can get Junior past his previous 9th place finish, I’m ready to do anything after that.

Kenneth

Jenn

OH MY GOD JUNIOR AND I ARE IN AN ALLIANCE CHAT WITH EVERY SINGLE PERSON IN THE GAME EXCEPT RENEE………………

This is like 5 different alliance chats when only 9 people are in the game. How do people do this?!

*Moments Later*

Well, shoutout to Nicole because she talked with Renee and got her on board with the Genki plan all the while finding out what her advantage was. What kind of mist?!

So now I know that Renee has a vote doubler, Eddie can calm the fuck down, Renee talked to me and I told her I was willing to stick with the girls, let her know that Genki wants her out and I’ll have to play along with that, and Renee said she had gotten Kenneth on board. As long as Genki doesn’t figure out that Junior and I have been spearheading this campaign, the worse case scenario would be that Renee gets idoled out.

Wait, I forgot about the most important part, I WON IMMUNITY! I can’t believe this redemption story arc of me absolutely flopping at the majority rules competition about castaways pre merge, but me actually knowing what’s up with the people still left in the game. It lets me sleep a bit easier knowing that if this blindside goes sideways, it can’t be me. Also, Genki came so fucking close to winning that immunity, I had to take a few deep breaths before calming down and feeling happy about my win.

Kenneth

“He only want me when I’m not there He better call genki with the good hair (and two idols)”

Genki

EDDIE WHY

Eddie is having his paranoia jitters again and is questioning our plans.

I suggested we would vote Renee and plant subtle seeds that Jordan was the one to go. That way, Jordan would most likely idol himself. But then, Eddie says “He’ll probably know we’re trying to flush the idol."

ugh okay

Eddie

PARANOIA TIME

It’s 13 minutes before 10 PM and the paranoia has reached its climax again!! How exciting and scary

Well, I have confidence in our tribe of 6, I just hope Jordan didn’t get the idea that Renee is going home and thinks it’s him instead. Finally, the three have realized that us 6 Port Mafias are the majority, but I don’t think they yet realize that we’ve been n power since the merge. MWAHAHAHA.

Also, after seeing those Touchy Subjects results, my eyes have opened to a lot of things. Eddie was answered as most trustworthy, yet nobody guessed him as majority except one person. It means a lot of people trust Eddie, but they think they are the only one to have his trust. well, that means Eddie is a much bigger threat than first anticipated. Jenn, of course got all the positive answers that I expected, affirming the idea that she is a threat. Junior is also seen as someone in a good position, so he could also be difficult to win against. That would mean our of the Port Mafia 6, Ian and Nicole are the best 2 to go to the finals with. However, Nicole has survived as the only Faanui the only game and the jury may respect that. Why am I even thinking this far yet, I might be voted off tonight for my not-so-hidden immunity idol. Hopefully, what the 6 are saying is true.

WOW SOLID BLINDSIDE GOOD JOB GUYS

Water Those Seeds and Let Them Grow Into A Blindside

Ian

Well it looks like me, Eddie and Nicole are being treated as some kind of witches because Jordan and Ryan blew up on us moments before tribal. All this chaos started like few hours before the vote and I seriously just woke up that time. The Icons decided on to vote out Ryan because he had been going around saying different names to different people as Nicole said to Eddie that he wanted to go after the Anau Boys or rather me, Eddie and Genki. So like I was on board with the plan then Ryan wanted to talk to me. He wanted to go after Junior this tribal and he claimed that he managed to get Renee’s support on the matter and he only needed me and Eddie’s vote.

Like seriously man why did you decided to suddenly go around talking because at least in my opinion you were good going into this round. Ryan was pushing on the idea of us newbies sticking together and going after the returnees. I limited my responses because for one I was still half-asleep and I was uncomfortable with the discussion. Renee then talked to me about our thoughts on the vote, she shared with me on how she does think that Ryan is messy and that Junior is a threat. She also mentioned that like I’m like the only that discussed with her about the vote. I don’t know if this is a lie but I’m feeling that my efforts to talk to her have paid off.

In like an hour before tribal all hell seriously broke loose. Jordan and Ryan were lashing out on me and Eddie. Ryan was rather somewhat calm when we talked on PM but then all of a sudden Jordan had to make things worst by calling me, Eddie and Nicole out on the tribe chat. He then kept on claiming were puppets of the returnees and that we were fighting for 6th/5th and 4th. Excuse me, all of us here are playing for 1st, do you think I would spent my whole summer if I wasn’t dead serious going for first?! In all y'all eyes I’m a puppet but I know what I’m doing in this game so lay off me please! I like kept my mouth shut because I didn’t want to fully expose the Icons Alliance.because to Jordan, Ryan, Kenneth and Renee’s view the returnees alliance was behind the vote.

Tribal went by and of course Jordan is pissed again and it looks like he’ll  remain that way. I’m admiring Kenneth’s attitude on the vote, even though like we’ve blindsided him two times in a row he still keeps his cool. Well there’s no turning back on the decision I made sticking with the icons, I’ll now see how it plays out for me.

Kenneth

that awkward moment when dustin beats you in online putt putt and he isnt even in danger this vote

hopefully these flash game gods flop and jordan wins (he scored higher than me so im just really doing this to not get a strike)

Genki

Anau Boys = Four Horsemen

I found the perfect survivor metaphor to match with the 4 Anau boys.

We are the 4 Horsemen(or the 3 POC Horsemen/POC Musketeers + Dreamz/Jordan). Now, before anyone disagrees with my choices, I’ll explain first. The first one I know no one will disagree with, but the next 3 are interchangeable depending on how you look at it.

Ian = Edgardo: The chill one who is laid back, doesn’t seem to do much except be a friendly bro

Genki = Alex Angarita: The logical one, the one who arrogantly believes he is the smart strategist, He starts off thinking he’s on top with the idol but ends up being screwed over by Mookie/Eddie’s decision to tell Dreamz about the idol/vote out Kaci

Eddie = Mookie: The emotional one, a bro who just so happens to make a mistake that alienates Dreamz/Jordan, tries to make big moves that don’t seem to work out

Jordan = Dreamz: After Eddie/Mookie’s mistake Jordan/Dreamz ends up wanting nothing to do with the alliance, the 4th member on the bottom of the totem pole who is not as trusted or close

Looking at this, we also see that the 4 first have a winner’s edit, being on top without a worry in the world. However, Mookie/Eddie’s decision begins their downfall and the origin of their “blustering idiot/villian” edit. They make dumb moves, with Eddie angering everyone, Genki and Ian just following along, and Jordan kinda just explodes and alienates everyone.

Honestly I don’t even care anymore whether we’ll do badly or not, because our alliance is so hilariously messy that I’d love to see our downfall for the sake of this season. I’d hate us if I was watching this. hahahahahahahasldkfjas;ldgkhoaweuif,mcnv

Lexi

hehe… these people are so stupid screams into the void

ok so before the vote, junior became worried that he would be the one voted out which is a bit shocking because if anything i should have been the target instead of him? but then ryan fucked up and started throwing nicole and the returnees under the bus to eddie and them which honestly is so fucking stupid of him when he wasn’t even the target for this round! then jordan helped him fuck up by talking shit in the ohana chat like… pms are free! he was not even close to being a target to any of us but then he just had to open his mouth and make his alliances really clear!

anyways, junior stayed and i didn’t get any votes and im at like the 100 day mark in my survivor career so bless the survivor gods and hopefully i have a chance to win this game? who knows!

side note: ian said he was straight so that snapchat thing…. sus! cause um mj said i looked 9 so like all these straights need to find something better to do… hopefully im wrong and he just realizes im fantastic! more updates soon!

Jenn

Not Junior and I planting the seeds with Eddie that Genki is playing smart and throwing him under the bus. Now to water those seeds and let them grow into a blindside.

*Moments Later*

Umm yikes, I just had to lie to Nicole about the idol because of Eddie’s fuck up in the alliance chat. Shady #1 meet Shady #2.

wont god find mercy for jordan and me

Genki

The Kween Better Leave or I Will Throw a Lexfit

I do honestly think Lexi will go home tonight.

However, there is a chance everybody is lying and Eddie will go home. This would be a perfect time for him to be blindsided without expecting it. I just hope that is not the case. I trust Jenn, Junior, and Nicole so I hope they are with me on this one. <3

Also, fuck Jordan for PUBLICLY STATING in the Ohana chat that they should all vote for me next because I’m the last one who hasn’t gotten any votes. Fuck that bro!
