#jack-ricci

🤝 Welcome!

This is a private 1-on-1 for:
• @Jack
• @Ricci

Hey there partner!! Clint and Andrew were my people on Failed 2.0 and talked highly of you so i’m very pleased to finally meet you!

Hey ricci! I'm glad to hear it haha

I heard nothing but good things about you as well

Hows your night going?

It’s been going well so far! Trying to digest this twist and what’s gonna end up happening lol

I feel like Sams is quite the competent player so i’d be surprised if he didn’t complete whatever challenge he has at exile

yeah I think he's got a good head on his shoulders for most challenges

Just praying to god he picks the merge this other tribe voting shit is awful

I hope so too lmao, merge vote with 16 people would be ridiculous too but at least our votes impact our own fate

Even if we had to do one from other tribes I think we would be able to keep each other protected, i’ve talked to Andrew and Clint a little bit today and they seem to be onboard with working together

I'd be so down

I'm not writing your name down here I went through too much bullshit for andrew to do that now

Lmfao I heard that tribal was quite the experience

I’d have been shitting myself if I was andrew

christ dont even get me started

Voids like "by the way I have an idol and played it 🙃 " five minutes before tribal

So I just threw the hailmary vote on ak

Thank god for sams ryan and void there thats all i'll say

Because I knew clint wouldnt vote andrew on account of his clintiness but other than that I was in the dark

I’m glad you were working with Ryan too, I really liked him on the first 2 tribes we were on together so i’m glad he’s still here

Clint and Andrew were also very tight on Failed 2.0 but we all got along

Our one vote here was honestly really not noteworthy at all. Tully had thrown Corny’s name around and Corny didn’t make an effort with anybody tbh. It was unanimous for him

ah that sucks I liked corny but he definitely wasnt around much

so totally understandable

I really liked both Tully and Corny from my original 1.0 tribe so it was tough to pick between the two but they really made it a war between each other off the bat

So are you, Sams, Ryan, and Void kinda a group then? Or are you also working with Andrew/Clint? I have good relationships with a couple people on that tribe so I think we could get something going if you were interested in making it happen

honestly I feel really good with pretty much everyone in the tribe

andrew clint and I vibed well on our tribes and I think we could pull in ryan sams and void for sure

honestly brees great too she just got left out of the last vote

tribals are getting difficult

That’s good to hear! I have chatted with Ryan a bit today and he also said he liked Sams so that could be a good foundation for us

I did hear that Bree was basically the one on the outs from your tribe at this point. Votes are getting insanely difficult now that we’ve basically all played with each other or heard about each other from others

yeah its insane

I was really hoping we just merged but now I am feeling....bad!

like real bad

Yeah this challenge didn’t end up going how I thought it would go lol

What are yall thinking now?

like for your tribe?

buddy you think ive even gotten to that yet?

LMAO that’s funny - fair enough

last I heard from most people, they were wanting Bree - but idk if that’s changed

yeah idk

I think that the rumor is you all are gonna beat me with hammers

but I am hoping that isnt the case

LMAO, i’m happy to not beat you with a hammer - who is doing that?

fuggles did some heavy hinting

but who knows with him

maybe he's just trying to fuck with me

I can’t say i’m all too close to him, i’m good with Bethany Marissa and Gem and we were all hearing from Clint that yall wanted Bree out as an easy boot

I think that would be ideal

If that could happen I think we could throw together the votes for the four of you to stay

I’d be happy with that, Clint was telling me he wanted to target Fuggles, idk if he has anything from the lodge but in the event he does - I suppose Tully is the only other option

yeah id be very down

andrew talked about splitting potentially to me

not sure how y'all are feeling on that

I wouldn’t mind if that’s what yall wanted to do!

Yeah I mean this is a you scratch my back I scratch yours situation

I will 100% keep you safe and vote for Bree if that’s what yall want to do. I’d prefer myself, Marissa, Gem, and Bethany to be safe

🤝

In honor of those who cannot speak here

🤝

Yes lmfao, I wouldn’t be able to handle that punishment - had to drop out on that one and I don’t regret it

Well, now there’s only one person left on our tribe that doesn’t have immunity and is not named here, so hopefully yall can do us a solid here 😭

yeah I got you dont worry

Good old fashioned dogpile on tully

gg well played

got my ass

I’m sorry man, I feel like I owe you an explanation of course. People started talking last minute and saying that Andrew was saying he knew there was a plan against him and that everyone knew about it - it sketched everyone out and made people think that there was a retaliation coming for one of us for a plan we weren’t going to do. I don’t want to make an enemy out of you but I can obviously understand if you’re upset and unwilling to work on things after this

Nah I totally get not telling me

I will say i'm surpised andrew was the target of the shot and not me, the guy nobody knew

It probably doesn’t feel like it after that but I genuinely have heard great things about you and am willing to keep that door open. We were mostly sketched out by Andrew trying to scare us into thinking he was onto a plan but maybe that was just paranoia getting the best of him

I also don’t know if you were in on this but Andrew offered me an 8 person alliance where it was all 5 members of Observed 1.0 and then like me marissa and ryan which made me feel low on the totem pole

So that worried me a bit

Yeah they're just kind of skittish generally

lol lovingly what a dummy

Now why they'd do that

I did like working with that duo over on Failed 2.0, but we’ve all made connections in this game. I wasn’t gonna toss everyone else aside that i’ve met to join a majority alliance that I would be low on the totem pole in

no i mean totally get it

I know my words don’t mean much at the moment, but I mean it when I say i’m not coming for you. I had to vote the way I did today, and definitely made a few enemies out of it - but I will always keep the door open

I will say that andrew was like, very into working with you and rebuffed every single valid plan to not vote tully

A lot of which frankly I liked a lot more than the tully plan

So I respect the shot, no hard feelings, but probably wrong place right time

Yeah on a personal level I feel horrible about it of course, and maybe i’ll look like a fool - but he was just giving off the vibes that he wanted me purely to be dragged along to help make an Observed 1.0 final 5 happen. I’m not entirely sure what Andrew’s chats were like with everyone else on my tribe but multiple people were saying his paranoia was framing them out

nah I get it. Happy to move forward with you all

hope you're having a good morning so far

I am! We haven’t gotten to chat all too much since we got thrown into the deep end immediately with when we finally met, but i’m happy to establish that connection with you. I’m from Tampa, FL and been here my whole life. Been working in healthcare for the last 6 years or so but for the last 2 years i’ve been doing work in pharmaceutical sales for women’s health. I’m really big into film, games, nature - actually just got back from a week in Alaska with my gf when this season started.

Despite my recent actions 😭 I am typically quite friendly and honest, hopefully that will be the case between us moving forward

lol you're all good man don't worry

where in alaska were you?

We made a couple different stops cause it was a cruise that was going up the west coast to alaska and back. So we had stops in Sitka, Juneau, Skagway, and then Victoria, B.C.

I won’t photo dump on you, but this is my favorite pic I took while I was there

Lots of shit you can’t see down in Florida, you know what I mean lol

white pass rail??

did that in 2024, it was unbelievable

our cruise was very similar but we stopped in ketchikan instead of sitka

I love love loved victoria also

such a cool little city

Yes!!! That’s so funny, literally everyone i’ve talked to that has done this trip + stop in Skagway has done the train

It was by far the coolest thing we did

Skagway brewery was also a highlight there

oh yeah that was a good stop

had a white ale there I think?

it was a while ago. food was good but fish and chips were like 35 bucks

Victoria was great, we only had 4 hours there though so we did a whale watching tour but then immediately had to get back on and leave

Now you’re getting the photo dump since you’ve been there and can resonate 😭😭

hahaha yeah it was a lot of fun

we didnt do any excursions but just kinda dicked around in chinatown

bc parliament looked beautiful but it was closed for the day by the time we got there

thats an awesome whale picture though. we did a day on either end in seattle also because my buddy lives up there and works for the mariners so we got tickets to a game, that was a lot of fun

I want to go back so bad because I heard that this was absolutely a highlight of the entire trip that I missed out on. I feel like alaskan cruises can’t get old so hopefully i’ll do one again in the future and get to check it out

LMAO, the way we basically had the same exact vacation 😭😭

nice

we sat on first base side so completely distinguishable

ms/padres is a good matchup

we were there for m's/rangers in 2024 and adolis garcia hit a ball approximately a billion feet in batting practice

he looks like the incredible hulk in person

I have Tatis is my fantasy league and this was still when he had 0 HR’s through like 50 games so I had a pleasant time boo’ing the piss out of him

I can’t believe that dude isn’t on PED’s, his transformation has been insane

oh christ what a disaster season for him

don’t even get me started oh my lord

I have him and Machado

it’s a fucking nightmare

I drafted dumper kurtz roman anthony 1-2-3

kurtz has turned it on but man a rough start to the year regardless

liam hicks is the only thing keeping me treading water right now

Oh yeah man that’s so brutal with big dumper. He’s lost the ‘big’ part to his nickname and is now just the dumper. My dad is in the same league as me and that was his 3rd rd pick and he’s in hell for it

At least he’s back now, hopefully he figures this shit out and can start hitting HR’s

hopefully he resets post injury, he looked good last night

Who is your team in baseball? This may make me an even worse enemy than the Andrew vote but i’m a yankees guy

christ

mets

😭😭😭

No way lmfao

buddy I am wearing a met hat as we speak

We will get past it

That’s hilarious in the best way

You’re the only other person here that i’ve talked to that actually likes baseball

yeah season's not going too hot

bichette is turning it on finally but the pitching staff is crashing and burning now

i cant believe they have the most expensive team in baseball and jared young's hitting cleanup

and I have no better answer for who should be hitting there

Injuries + Bo’s entire first third of the season have not been kind to yall at all this season

Are you getting lindor back anytime soon?

I think next week

could be wrong

That would be much needed reinforcement

Can’t believe how much of a bum Semien is now as well

lot of really bad batted ball luck for semien

he's looked really solid the last few weeks

in terms of like xOPS he's around .750 or so which is fine given his defense

but the man can't catch a break

honestly the whole lineup has been very unlucky with batted ball stuff

semien, bichette, benge, vientos all have xBA 30 points or more higher than their actual average

all due for a lot of regression to the mean

or I guess thats technically progression if its positive?

Realistically you would expect things to turn around for these guys, hopefully pitching can step it up and give some support so they don’t have to be hitting out of their minds to get some wins - Peralta and McClean could be doing better than where they’re at now. Losing Holmes in that way is just such a brutal experience, I love that guy

Are you living out in new york then?

no actually. I'm from new york originally, lived in philly for a while (college and immediately after), and now i'm living in north carolina

so I've shifted all up and down the eastern seaboard

Very nice! My parents came from NY originally but i’ve been in FL my whole life

Have you transformed into a Canes guy now that they’re in your hometown and just won the cup?

still rangers but the canes are pretty undeniably fun

not a huge hockey guy or anything but people here go nuts for them

They definitely do, hockey isn’t my favorite either and i’m moreso into college bball/fb, nfl, mlb. But i’ll check in and watch most of the playoffs when it happens

mets talk oh shit

bichette has thankfully been remembering how to exist

vientos has to get sent to guangdong now though

LMAO

every time i feel like he's about to be dfa'd he hits a homer which buys him 2 more weeks

afternoon ricci! how are you?

Good afternoon! I’m doing well today - very busy day at work but i’m almost done so we’re managing over here. How about yourself?

im good! just been a lowkey day here nothing too crazy

absolutely botched the challenge but we move

Oh lord 😭 I’ve heard from you and Clint now that this challenge is harder than expected, i’m probably doing it in like an hour or so

I take it you want to go to the lodge then since you think you’re not winning individual immunity?

I’m still tryna figure out who solved that idol hunt first 🤔💭

i'm not gonna say no

I have no illusions of being chosen given that its up for a vote but what the hell might try

it seems like everyone and their mother thinks its me and I wish they were right

They aren’t right? I figured it was someone from Loved 3.0 but wasn’t entirely sure who may have found it

nah I found the command and it was too late

maaaaybe sams? he was online around then

but the people I saw online around the time were sams/fuggles/bree/bethany/marissa

star was too but I think they were at a broadway show so I have my doubts the timeline works

but yeah i've got the idol stink either way so i'm in dead man walking mode

if everyone is as bloodthirsty for an easy merge boot as they seem I just hope its not me

and is instead the guy who clearly will never work with you. but thats just me!

Well, ironically enough it may be a benefit that people think you have it - whether you do or not

double edged sword

Trying to manufacture a split vote for first merge vote would be hell

i dont put it past this crew

to put us all in hell

look my pitch is really simple. I'll play ball, clint won't, and he'll never vote for me on the jury even if I make it that far if I snake him (I won't, I'm staring down 13th-11th place right now)

you're in a decent spot but if you want to survive the inevitable bloodbath starting around final 9 you're gonna need bodies in front of you

and in some ways clint is that, but also he's a total wild card. completely unpredictable. I'm trying to make it to the next round, who the fuck knows what he's trying to do

You’re right about this, and to be honest with you that’s why I wanted to reach out to you and Sams immediately (clint excluded because he was just too hot about it) - If it were to just be a steamroll and you/sams/clint/soul we’re the next 4 out, i’m smart enough to know i’d likely be next

My concern with taking out Clint is that if we pile votes onto him, and you guys are working as a trio, then i’m probably getting idoled out

So who would you take out if it wasn’t Clint or Sams? If you’re willing to share of course

its an interesting question

I think it depends, but it all kind of boils down to if there's a shot being taken it'd have to be at someone where the actual power structure changes so I'm not just getting used for one vote and then discarded

you get what i'm saying?

like, fuggles for example

waste of a shot being taken

everyone wants that, you can easily do that when im gone too. whats the point

if we're gonna do something lets actually do something

here's something interesting for you to think about: who's most likely to get dragged to the end right now

I don't know who that is as much personally right now but I'll say that if there's someone who could easily take up a spot at ftc and is well insulated in an alliance, its sooner rather than later

That makes sense, let’s see how immunity goes. I know for certain i’m not winning it lol

I think it’s hard to tell what alliances are gonna hold true with this new stage starting, but I agree with what you’re saying

yeah i get you

If not one of sams/clint/I do you have any idea for a target?

(Goes without saying, but this goes nowhere)

That is tough to say still cause I really have been pushing it off in my mind until immunity happens. But I feel like someone like Star or Theo wouldn’t be targeted for a very long time here and could be a name that benefits both of us and allows us to build some trust with each other

hey sorry I'm back

totally see the vision here

dont know if you need to see one more of us go before you pull the trigger on it but if you do I'd like to be around to make it happen

if its now its now though

I’m gonna try and see if I can mend that relationship with Clint, cause I really do feel like I can get on the same page as you and Sams

You guys planning on voting for Fuggles?

I won’t tell anyone if you are

Morning ricci!

I think I have a proposal that might do us both some good. Lemme know when you're around and we can chat about it

Good morning! I’m around and would love to hear you out

alright

Theo's gunning for you/star/fuggles

He wants to use the extra vote tonight on either you or fuggles

If i'm being honest, the vibes from theo are rancid and I didnt trust it at all. He's so deep that he honestly might be telling the truth, but I have little to no interest in working with him because it's just so blatantly transactional.

I know you mentioned wanting theo out, and now might be the time

Oh 😭😭 That’s hilarious, Theo pitched to me that he wanted to use the extra vote on one of you or Clint

lol yeah he's full of shit

I had a feeling he realized he was in a position of power and could get both “sides” pointed at each other

He messaged me while we were still voting tully out about how we needed him

And how he could use "my little niche corner of the game" to make a move

Theo's trying to split the vote

did theo or did theo not "talk light shit" about clint to you last night

Because that was the plan he made in the alliance chat with clint sams and I

LOL, he didn’t really talk shit about Clint but he was saying that his ideal was using the extra vote on one of you, and that yall were targeting me

Then quickly said “WAIT NO, they’re targeting Star or Fuggles”

so i’m deeply inclined to believe you

look he's sketchy

Sams is on board to vote theo out already

We have the numbers, and you and I know damn well theo doesnt have the idol

me/you/sams/star/fuggles/bethany/marissa gets it done

So where does Clint lie in all this?

haha funny you should ask

Clint said he wont vote theo out but he'd be willing to throw his vote somewhere else

Also, sorry for so many questions but this is just new info to process for me, is Marissa onboard with all of this? We’ve been talking about how we don’t want any of you three to go home this round, but she has been telling me she wants to keep Theo safe, so I don’t think she’s aware that this has been happening

He's also sketched out by theo but he's got his hangups about who he will and wont vote out

That’s fair, he hasn’t talked to me since right after the andrew vote so i’ve just always assumed im getting his vote from now on

as I understand it he's thrown the idea to gem and marissa but no idea what the response has been

Interesting, they seemed onboard with Fuggles when I last talked to them

like voting fuggles out?

Yeah exactly

wait so what is the plan here

I mean i’m just trying to work out who’s lying to me. Cause you were willing to come to me and say Theo is pitching me/star/fuggles and that we should turn it on theo, but Marissa and Gem came to me and said theo wants star or fuggles out and they’re willing to jump on that vote

And to be clear I don’t think you’re lying to me

I would say Theo at this point, but now i’m worried Marissa and Gem weren’t telling me the truth about Theo’s pitch

There's been a lot of discussion about getting you out

I'll just leave it there

I’m gonna have to ask who’s talking about it 😭

But I can’t say that’s surprising

well clint's the obvious one

Yeah I get that for sure

But clint also said theo and gem threw your name to me

And I'm inclined to trust that

Yeah I don’t really see why Clint would lie to you about that

That’s disheartening

Do you have loyalties to Gem?

I like her personally but have talked almost no game with her

I have talked a lot of game with her which is why this is so disheartening 😭

I’m down to get Theo, and I think it’ll be evident from this vote who I can and can’t really trust

And I can promise you that if everything you’re telling me is true, which i’m inclined to believe it is - I wouldn’t have any reason to target you at all over the course of the rest of this game

So are you and Sams definitely voting Theo then?

Cause the way i’m feeling, on similar principle to why I never wanted any of you/clint/sams out this round - I think it would make sense for yall to keep me in the game as a shield since you know there’s shooters coming for me in response to last rounds move

yeah I'm 99% sure

I'll talk to him again this morning to be sure but thats my thought

I’m telling you now 100% my vote is going for Theo

ok cool, much appreciated

Of course, I think we both need each other in this game so we don’t become the obvious next targets. I don’t want to get too big of a head but I feel like it’s an accurate assessment to say that we’ve been doing the most on our respective sides so far

So, if either one of us goes down - everyone is inclined to take out the true king next, you know what I mean?

I think we're putting the horse before the cart

but I agree that we have an incentive to keep each other around for sure

Isn’t horse before the cart the correct way 😭 Sorry this ain’t the analogy for me LMAO

fuck me you're right

lol

you get the point

I think so, I do think we’re the juiciest targets at the moment though - which is probably why we’ve both assumed we’re going at some point this cycle

I want us to be honest with each other Jack, are you still considering me? Or are you voting theo if sam’s agrees?

i'm set on theo as long as we have the numbers

If you and Sams are voting Theo, the numbers are 100% there

Star and Fuggles can’t be happy that Theo is throwing their name around

I’m not happy that Theo’s throwing my name around, but I can also recognize that it would only kinda make sense for you guys to take me out - so i’m sure that you guys are the main numbers he’s banking on to get me out

yeah seems that way

idk man he's just completely sketching me out

I’m hearing from some people that he’s targeting Fuggles, some people say he’s targeting me, some people + he’s telling me directly that he wants you or Clint out

Strange gameplay here

it's wild card shit

Clint and I talked and smoothed things over

awesome

I’m voting for Theo 100%, he told me he isn’t but he’s not voting me and i’m inclined to believe that

I would just imagine he votes Fuggles, which is fine by me

yeah thats the same thing he said earlier

fuggles or star maybe

I'll ask him and let you know

I don’t mind, either way I trust that he’s telling me the truth with that

Are you and Sams gonna vote with him on that though? Or are you going with Theo? I genuinely won’t hold it against you either way

i have no hangup with voting for theo

thats his thing, he can do that and its cool with me, but I dont trust theo

Yeah i’m totally cool with that too, im way more bothered by the fact that Theo was saying that I was pushing for one of you guys to go home which was never the case

yeah no worries

Lotta misinfo going around now but my theo vote is locked

The misinfo is killing me 😭

Wonderfully played man

I think that was the worst round of survivor I have ever played honestly

Way too messy

You got me out no?
