#ricci-ryan

Hey there Ryan 👋 Just wanted to introduce myself, looking forward to this game!

Hey Rocco! How are you doing? It’s super nice to meet you

I’m doing well! It’s nice to meet you too, i’m ready to get this started! almost midnight over here so I may be off soon but will definitely be more active tomorrow

Oh 100% looking forward to getting to chat with you when we can

Absolutely! I got up a bit late today but I will definitely be on for most of the day. How was your day?

It was very busy! I had coaching and then furniture moving and I’ve been feeling sick tonight

I should go to bed as it’s 1AM

But I look forward to chatting to you tomorrow!

Look forward to chatting tomorrow as well, see you then! I’m also just getting over a cold so I feel ya, hope you feel better soon

Good morning Ricci!

Hope you had a good day

Good morning Ryan! I just got back from a movie, looking forward to this challenge! How has your day been so far?

Oooh nice! What movie was it?

I’ve been watching the game 7 in the playoffs and slept in lol

We saw Backrooms! Honestly the story was a mess but the vibe of the backrooms and all the technical stuff was great. I am about to lock in to watch this 4Q of game 7

Are you rooting for either specific team? I don’t really root for any NBA teams specifically but i’d like to see the spurs win here

I haven’t seen that before. Is it new?

Actually dumb question it would be it’s in cinemas

I want the spurs to win too!

I’m a diehard Cavs fan so we out

But Spurs to win would be cool

My mate is a diehard spurs fan

Haha not a dumb question at all, they love to put old films back in every so often - this one is new though.

I would’ve loved to see the Cavs do well but it seemed inevitable with how much rest the Knicks got before that series

Would you recommend?

Oh 100%

We were sunk though after the game 1 collapse

Ehhh I give it a solid 6.5/10, if you are familiar with Backrooms it’s at least enjoyable to see it come to life in a movie - but the plot genuinely felt like they didn’t know what to do

Game 1 was very tough, team is very well built but I feel if I were a cavs fan i’d want someone other than James Harden to be my go-to guy

I really want them to go all in for Giannis! Like why not the east is wide open

I haven’t seen the back rooms is that like a book or something?

Giannis would be such a huge pickup, no way he stays in Miluakee so I think yall have a good chance if he stays away from Miami

It’s basically a liminal space - type horror about being trapped in an eerie place called the backrooms. The director of the movie Kane Parsons made a full youtube series on it which is what he based the movie on, it’s pretty interesting if you’re into horror!

The team that should go after him is OKC. After watching today they should be making the call

Ahh horror is not my area and cup of tea unfortunately but maybe my mate might enjoy it, hes a huge horror buff!

And the crazy part is they definitely have the assets to get him if they wanted to. 2 first round picks in this years draft + a pretty young bench to work with if they want to trade someone. Even if they just stuck with their 2 picks this year, they’re gonna find a way to be competing yet again next year

I was a huge fan of SGA last year but the flopping these playoffs have been killing me with him

He should definitely check out the youtube series if he hasn’t already!

Not to game too hard to fast but I like your vibe and think we’d work well together, how are you feeling about this exile twist?

Yeah Chet and some picks would get it done (god he sucked lol). They will be back. I feel sorry for fans of teams in the west - it will be Spurs/Thunder for a long time

Yeah he’s tough to watch with all that shit

I appreciate that my guy and I feel the exact same way about you!!!

It’s very interesting, I think it will be like the journey

From survivor

Chet was so bad this series 😭 I would totally trade him + 2 firsts for Giannis in a heartbeat. I would rather see Giannis go elsewhere just to make the league more interesting

Thank you! Obviously i’m hoping we just get 1st and don’t have to be at risk, but I don’t mind sharing with you that I volunteered for it - I believe I was the only one on our tribe to volunteer so i’ll be going if we get 2nd/3rd. I wanna build trust with you so i’ll obviously let you know how it goes if that happens

I’d like to avoid it, but could be a benefit for us to know how exile works early on

Oh yes I don’t want him going there. Cleveland is a good place for him to end up and with LeBron too😁

I appreciate you telling me this. I didn’t end up volunteering but I think it’s good that one of us did so we know what the exact system is and how we navigate it

Is there anyone else on the tribe you are vibing with?

I have chatted with Bethany and Corny a bit and am liking their vibes as well, mostly just introducing ourselves and talking about things we like to do. I’ve had some good chats with Tully as well but a bit less frequently. Molly i’m ngl I have heard from like once and seems like they have been completely inactive outside of that. What about you?

Once Mike sent that message about people not volunteering I had a feeling i’d be the only one from our tribe so I just went for it, I just didn’t want it to be randomized and go to someone we aren’t as connected with

Literally the same as you tbh! I said to Corny that I have gotten three words from Molly this entire game and that’s not an exaggeration! Like I counted them😂

I 100% get that for sure, and appreciate you doing it for the team! Hoping that you win something from it!

It seems like us 4 have really been the most active so far so I can’t say i’m surprised there haha! That’s great for us, if we get along well why not just run this shit together! And definitely helps we feel like we have a majority of the tribe feeling good about us. Assuming it’s not a detrimental twist and i’m booted or swapped to another tribe I will definitely be coming back and letting yall know what happened, right now i’m assuming extra vote for winner, lose a vote for loser

Hey good morning!!!

I can’t believe we are going to tribal but as you said we in majority

Good morning! Quite sad that didn’t work out for us but hopefully it becomes an opportunity for us to take control and build trust early. no matter what we’re gonna make sure we’re not first boot hopefully. I assume we’re gonna be choosing between Molly and Tully at this point?

I think Molly should be the one going

Like being honest

At least Tully has made effort

But you are right time for us to put into motion what we were discussing

I’m completely on the same page as you, Tully has been talking to me more and seems like he’d be down to vote with us. Unfortunately Molly just hasn’t been active at all - thankfully makes this easier for us

Has there been any chatter from the other two on who they want?

I think Bethany wants Molly as well, I haven’t heard anything from Corny quite yet but it’s pretty late night for him so he may be a while

Seems like Molly is just offering herself up though 😭

Shit i’ll take it!

Looks like the vote is settled then

Don’t need to tell me twice to vote someone out😂

Seriously 😭 I’m not gonna argue a quit whatsoever lmao

Hopefully that’s enough with the design challenges, let’s get something we’re gonna win next

Exactly I mean usually flag making realistically is the one one

I hope so! I wish we got to check out what exile was all about - I figure the first one is gonna be relatively low stakes, now it’ll be more risky to go in the future I imagine

I reckon and advantage probably got handed out at it

Yup, I’d imagine gain a vote for winner and lose a vote for loser. I just woke up over here so good morning! I’m gonna be at work for the next 6 hours or so - so i’m just gonna lock in my vote now 🫡 glad it’s an easy one

Yeah something like that could be the play for sure! No worries dude have a good day at work I’m going to bed now but have put my vote in

Thank you & Goodnight! Hopefully when you wake up we have a much more winnable immunity challenge in front of us

Good morning!

God can’t wait for Molly to be gone lol

Good morning! Yup she had quite the journey over the last 12 hours or so lmao, at least she made it easy for us

Praying for a puzzle immunity challenge

Mike just said the exile people still need some time to wrap up, I wonder what they’d be doing that would still have them working 24 hours later

Puzzles! Looks like I got my wish lol, hopefully we can smash this one

Haha you sure did! I’m not great at puzzles

Curious to see what this is

I’m quite curious to find out, but also quite concerned knowing that the loser has to stay on exile for a full round. Are you debating volunteering at all?

I feel pretty good about puzzles so I really don’t mind which one I end up with if you happen to have a preference

I now see what the exile advantage is hahah, looks like this guy is able to message everyone in the game i’d imagine

Yeah what a fun advantage very handy for sure

Like it’s super elite

What puzzles are there for the challenge? I think I definitely would be interested for sure maybe not this round but could be for sure

hmmm that’s a good question, i’ll ask the guy who went and see what he says. It’s definitely nice for him getting to build connections with everyone just considering we’re probably swapping soon - but he’s also now automatically the biggest threat which is quite scary for him

Oh 100% it’s a massive target which is not good at all to have at this point in the game at all

I just hope we find a way to get 1st or 2nd in this challenge, not sure if the guy messaged you this yet but he said if you lose at exile 5 times in a row you’re booted - so hopefully we avoid it entirely. Having to vote again so early would suck considering we’re likely to swap soon

Like have to get sent to exile five times and lose?

Well if you lose at exile you stay there for a full round, so Void - the guy who lost is staying there this round and has lost once now. If he loses 4 more times in a row then he’s booted

So he’s got to win to get out?

Is that the understanding?

Yes exactly, you stay in exile until you win a challenge

Which honestly in an org like this, i’d imagine that’s basically a death sentence if you’re in there for more than 2 cycles - building connections is so important this early on & we’re probably swapping within the next 3 cycles or so

Exactly and like if you are shit at challenges you may not get out

Yup, honestly probably better for us to just completely avoid it for the time being lol. Maybe if you get swapped into a minority it could be smart to go and lose once just knowing you’ll stay at exile and can’t be voted for - but that’s insanely risky

I don’t think any of us volunteered for this cycle, so hopefully we don’t get 3rd in this challenge - if we do it’ll probably be a random draw

Yeah I think random draw is the way it’s decided if no one volunteers

But yeah I agree like don’t do it if in majority or unless you are goated at challenges

I think we’re pretty protected in this tribe as we stand right now, so hopefully we can avoid it entirely. How did you do with your puzzle? I asked around and Corny DNF’d, Bethany said she did okay but it was very difficult, not sure if Tully completed his yet

Mine was a 100 pc logo puzzle which honestly wasn’t too bad, I finished in 17 mins - not sure if that’ll be a good time or not

Oh 100%, us two and Bethany I’m so excited for!

I found it tough like it took me a while it involved a lot of thinking

And process of elimination etc

But I finished it

I think others will take long but maybe a bit quicker idk

But yeah I did it so Bethany didn’t have to

You did great!!!! I’m very thankful we managed to avoid tribal and exile. I think we got a good core moving forward with us 3

I’m surprised at how difficult that word search was, fastest time for the ‘easiest’ puzzle being half an hour is insane

That is wild, I wonder how many words were in it

I am surprised to get 2nd! It was a fun challenge but tough and took a while

I think she said they had to find 25 words and it was mostly relating to twin peaks, so I can see how it would take a while to get it finished. I was kinda expecting like a 300 pc puzzle for mine - so when it was just a 100 pc logo puzzle I was a bit surprised lol

I’m just glad we get the day off and don’t have to scramble at all! How was your day?

I think I usually do these 100piece puzzles in like 20-25 minutes but I am so much quicker in like actually life

Like physically

Not good online stuff haha

Did they give her the list of words?

Oh a day off is lovely!

My day was shit lol bad day at work but it’s okay

Hopefully good plans for you ahead?

I’m usually quite slow when I do physical puzzles that are in front of me so I was quite impressed with myself hahaha, and hmmm from how she described it - I don’t think they gave her the list of words. They may have given a hint before they started that it would be all full names of actors from the show though.

And aw i’m sorry! Hopefully your evening is a bit better. I realized I never asked, what do you do for work?

I got a pretty busy day of work ahead of me, but hopefully that’ll just make the day go by fast - then me and my gf are seeing the movie Masters of the Universe tonight!

Ahhh I see - that would have been tough tbh. Yeah you did really good!

Yeah I just lied in bed and red my book I’m ready and played 2k lol

I am a learning support assistant and work there twice a week! The other days are University for teaching. What do you do for work?

Aww that sounds sweet! How long have you been together?

Thank you! I felt like I was doing really well on it, so whoever got that in 14 mins on the losing tribe is clearly insane at puzzles

And that’s great! My gf is in graphic design for a University right now but she has considered getting into teaching more long-term. We’ve been together 4 years now in April! How about you and your partner?

I’m in pharmaceutical sales, I get to drive around to different doctors offices all day and talk to them about the drug I represent for - I’m in Women’s health currently but I may be working with some cancer/rare eye disease drugs soon. It’s a fantastic job for being chronically online cause I have quite a lot of downtime inbetween visits lol

Well! We swapped but thankfully we stayed together. I had some good conversations with Tully and I feel pretty good that he’d want to work with us.

Not sure what our plan for roping someone in would be at the moment, just gonna try to get to know everyone as well as possible and see what we can do

Yeah he is a puzzle wizard doing it that quickly!

Aww that is sweet as, and i definitely recommend teaching but i don’t know how safe it is in America compared to Aus. That’s such a long time and congrats! I don’t have a partner I split a couple years ago from my long term one.

Ahh yes I see I see sounds like a cool job and nice to have downtime in between parts of your day!

That’s great to hear! Tully is cool so I definitely think we can work him

Just got to find the fourth

Absolutely, i’ve been chatting everyone up so far and we’re having good conversation but haven’t talked strategy at all yet. Hopefully we can avoid first tribal at the very least to solidify numbers.

I feel hopeful that people will play conservative given it’s a 2-1-1 split of other tribes, better to join us and pick off the others than try to form a mixed 4 person alliance to take us down. I can only imagine we’re staying in these tribes for 2-3 cycles so they should only be worried about surviving one or two votes

I’m gonna share whatever info I can get with you and Tully though, whatever helps us get that fourth on our side so we can gain control

I think someone will want to jump on with us! We’ve just got to use the next day or two to figure out who that is!

I have no doubt that we will be able to though, we just got to take our time to get it right!

Yup, ideally we just win whatever this challenge is, but if we lose and people start scrambling on short notice, i’m sure they’ll wanna throw an easy target under the bus. I’ve had some good conversations with all of them, doesn’t seem like they’d be gaming super hard against us. I’m headed off for the night, enjoy your day!

Sounds good man! Sleep well! We can keep chatting tomorrow but yeah no serious game talks on my end either yet

Good morning! Absolutely! Out of everyone, I think i’m making the most progress on Marissa right now, Brayden is giving me the least so I would imagine that’s the same for everyone and could be an easy target. If we do end up losing a challenge i’ll start to pursue some numbers more aggressively

How has your day been so far?

Hey good morning!

Sorry at work and busy day travelling after but will chat when I get the chance

Agree with Brayden being an easy target! He hasn't said shit to me

Clint seems cool as well!

Hows your day been?

Morning! My day has been great! It’s my sisters birthday today so i’ve been relatively inactive - thankfully this challenge really doesn’t require any activity until tomorrow so I may call it an early night tonight. How has your morning been?

I definitely think Clint/Marissa are the most receptive to vibes at the moment. I am kinda getting the feeling that Clint/Andy as a duo are trying to bring in Marissa. It would be quite bad for us if we needed to rely on Brayden as a swing vote with what i’ve seen from him so far - so i’m just gonna keep grinding on those relationships and hope they want to take out the easy target when the time comes for tribal

That is great to hear! I hope your sister has a good day and you have a fun time celebrating. Work has been pretty good today which is rare! Just enjoying the last bit before I go pack and then start travelling

Yeah I agree and hoping we can work on that. Are Clint and Andy close?

Good Morning! I can’t get a good read on their relationship but it definitely seems like they want to keep each other protected from what i’ve talked to them about. The only negative things they’ve said is about Brayden not giving much to anybody

Good night!I haven’t gotten a response from Brayden at all like he sent two words

Like it’s a Molly situation

Good night! I would be very glad if it’s another Molly situation lmao, we’ve exchanged a few words but he genuinely seems completely disinterested in talking to me. Hopefully we avoid tribal for at least this round so people get some more time to realize he should be the clear cut boot

Do you know if we will win

I fucking missed it by five seconds

I’m so mad

It seems like we definitely arent 1st, but its close for 2nd place. Brayden wasnt here at all for the challenge - people are gonna want to vote him out. We just gotta keep up our connections with everyone and hopefully make it an easy group vote

I am so happy to here that

Seems like super easy then

Yup, moving forward i’m just gonna make sure I build as much of a connection with Marissa as possible and hope she wants to side with us.

I’m not sure what will happen if Theo wins at exile but I assume he goes back to his tribe - however if R-Lime wins, I wouldn’t be surprised if he came to our tribe if he won at exile since he was there when we swapped. Honestly would work out very well for us cause he’s coming from the same tribe as Brayden and would likely also be a super easy vote if we had to go again

I assume that as well

Like R-Lime comes to us if we lose

I will say it would be interesting if them to put Theo on our tribe if he were to win

Yeah, I honestly wouldn’t mind it at all as it could just be another easy boot for us if someone gets added late. I’ve had good convos with the other 3 people here but i’m getting the sense that they are forming a trio

Do you reckon that’s the case?

Andrew has barely talked to me

Marissa is cool

Clint intense

Are we still on for Brayden?

Yeah 100% voting Brayden, from what i’ve gathered it’ll likely be unanimous, no clue who he will vote for though.

I basically feel along the same lines as what you said about everyone. Clint is intense but also very direct so he’s told me straight up that he and Andrew are close and that they both like Marissa a lot. I’ve definitely had the best chats with Marissa so far of the others, but whenever I try to talk game she seems cautious. I think the best route to take with her is trying to give the idea that we aren’t necessarily close - but Andrew/Clint will always chose each other and run back to their original tribe when we get out of these tribes. I think if she feels threatened by us as a trio, she could make it 3-3

Yeah I hope that’s not the case at all

Like I want to work with Marissa and have her as our fourth

Other thought is if it ends up that R Lime comes here that we try get him as a fourth instead?

If they are locked

Yeah our options would either be to try to pick him up as a fourth, or have him as another unanimous vote as an easy target if he doesn’t seem very workable. Plus would buy us more time to work on getting Marissa on our side

I don’t think they’re ‘locked’ as we stand right now - but I feel like they have a good connection. if we do go to tribal again with 6 hopefully the pressure of it will make her want to join us and not potentially go to rocks for people that aren’t guaranteed to always have her best interest

Hey sorry I’ve been away these last few days but I’ve just gotten home and back for normal now

How has everything been tracking?

Hey! No worries at all, things have been pretty slow on this tribe tbh, especially with us winning this last immunity.

Honestly I think if we manage to stay out of last for this immunity, we’re golden. Marissa had told me that she was going to volunteer for exile, so if we get 2nd then we have guaranteed majority over Andrew/Clint moving forward if we go to tribal again. I think we’re only going to be in these tribes for 1-2 more cycles at most so we’re very close to making it out of this perfectly. If we lose this challenge however, i’m greatly concerned that it looks like it would be a 3-3 tie

I have gained some good info from the other tribes just from talking to the others. Seems like R-Lime was able to hold onto his half-idol because John has been inactive this entire month and was an easy vote out. It seems like the original “Failed” and “Loved” tribes were pretty disconnected, but the observed tribe with Andrew/Clint/Jack/Sams/Soul is a serious concern. I’m still 100% committed to you and Bethany. If we all get out of this we’re in a great spot to take control

I 100% agree like me you and Bethany are the big three and I am glad to have such a strong number 1 in you that I was able to take a day or two IRL and come back and be rock solid with you

So you think Marissa is with them and not us and would be willing to go to rocks?

absolutely! i’m 100% locked in with you. Thankfully the last 24 hours or so has been pretty slow with us winning the challenge so you didn’t miss much.

I feel good with Marissa on a 1-1 level. But whenever I float game ideas about how Andrew/Clint are dangerous moving forwards, she seems to shut it down and try to delay the conversation to “if” we lose immunity. So that gives me some worries that my relationship with her isn’t as good as what the others have formed already. I have to operate under the belief that they aren’t fully telling me the truth if they are working together as a trio, but i’m getting the idea that those 3 would vote Tully if we lost

I just got a good piece of info, apparently nobody volunteered on our tribe and Theo is completely inactive on exile currently. Seems like it’s literally a free advantage waiting on exile if one of us goes

edit to this ^ we got 1st 🥳🎉🎊 so we don’t even have to worry about sending someone to exile.

I have a feeling we’re swapping after this round so i’m really trying to spread the idea to the others that this entire tribe should be looking out for each other if we wind up on new tribes together, whatever gives us the most protection moving forward. I’m sure Bethany has also made friends on her new tribe, hopefully between those two things - we should be pretty likely to land in a majority wherever we end up

We played this swap beautifully if we do end up swapping after this round

Have they mentioned something about voting Tully for you to get that idea? Not great to hear though about Marissa saying that but I get why she would cobsider it

I thought Marissa wanted to go to exile island? Who said Theo is inactive over there?

I 100% think we did and a massive credit to the work that you put into it!!! I am not sure how confident I feel in Clint and Andrew in working with us on a new swap if they got old people if there’s on the same tribe

Just because i’ve heard just about everyone say that they’re good with everyone on the tribe but Tully is the name i’ve heard the least from the others. Clint & Marissa have both said they like you to me though.

I believe she did volunteer this round, Theo got a strike for not completing his exile challenge - and fuggles said he was totally inactive and didn’t talk to him. He could be lying but I doubt it

Yeah that’s totally fair, I feel better with Clint than I do with Andrew. But Clint was saying he was close with Jack and Sams from his original tribe

Ahhh that’s nice of them to say that. I wonder if they know we are a right duo?

Yeah I don’t like Andrew that much and he doesn’t talk to me much at all. Would be nice to take out if we had the chance

Sorry that was for the third message

But yes I get what you mean, I wonder if Theo just had a couple busy days or is bad at challenges and like fuck this is boring and don’t want to do it

I feel like i’ve been doing a good job managing perceptions with them but it’s hard to imagine it’s not in the back of their heads. The fact we’re on vastly different time zones helps honestly cause I believe they both think we barely talk

Yeahhh it is strange, clearly he was active enough to volunteer for exile but now all of a sudden he’s just given up

I mean it would be tough to just sit in silence for days on end like I would find it so boring

Yeah that is definitely true, I mean timezones definitely could make that a viewpoint and me not being online much the last two days as well

Yup, I think Clint feels very close to me from doing the VC challenge with him, and i’ve probably sent the most 1-1 chats to Marissa of the others on this tribe - so hopefully i’ve managed perceptions well. Andrew is also the only person I haven’t really talked to a whole lot

I mean if you have a really good connection with Clint I feel that will help us so much moving forward

It’s a shame he’s close to Andrew and not Marissa instead

Yeahhhh, I can’t even imagine Andrew is talking to him all that much cause it really seems like he isn’t talking to anybody a ton.

Things can change fast in a swap though, if you wind up with really anybody on this tribe besides Andrew - hopefully they’ll be a number for you

Yeah I am hoping so, I mean idm Clint, I think he’s quite blunt but he’s honest at least

We’re so back!!!!!!

i’m so happy you survived that tribal split, I was very worried you would get screwed

Hey Ricci!!!!

I got so nervous for the swap

But seemed to manage our pretty unscathed

However I was targeted at last vote

Really?? Who was coming for you? We can take them out this round if it ends up being a double tribal

Me and Bethany fully still want to work with you of course, and I think Tully would want to work with us as well

Corny didn’t put in an effort with anyone and wound up being a consensus boot for everyone

Omar came for me and Bree voted alongside him

She hasn’t made any effort with me at all

But the others let me know and we got Omar out

Super excited to hear that the three being back together!

I was a little surprised when I saw he got voted out but that makes legit so much sense

That’s great that they had your back, I think Andrew and Clint want to work with me still so hopefully we can ultimately be in control of what happens on each tribe through our connections

I don’t think anyone on our tribe would have an issue voting Bree

Tully also started throwing out his name before immunity even ended which was funny and kinda made it into Corny vs Tully. but most people felt better about Tully than Corny

Clint already mentioned this to me about having you, Tully and Marissa on the other side who can help control vote if we lose

Would be good to just get rid of that threat and move on if it ended that way! Who would you want us to get if it was reversed?

Jeez that is really risky lol could of backflipped onto him

Yeah i’m happy to work with that group while we can, especially since it’ll keep us safe through this twisted round

I think Theo is just an easy choice since he’s been at exile for the last 5 rounds. Apparently there’s some twist where whoever votes for theo at his first tribal council gets an advantage as long as the vote isn’t unanimous

Clint and Andrew seem to be against Star/Fuggles from what I can tell, they were upset that Omar and AK got booted since they were both original Failed 1.0

Yeah how was your tribe dynamics?

So like 5 people could get advantages?

Ahh I see I see, AK got booted because of an idol play

Myself and Bethany were working with Tully, Marissa, and Gem the closest. Bethany is closer with Fuggles - I feel good with him too but they’ve spent more time working together

Supposedly this is the case, I wouldn’t be surprised if Theo had some sort of advantage coming out of exile, but if you vote for him then I guess you might get an advantage

Theo said it himself to Tully so i guess I believe it

Sounds like a really good group

Is Gem cool?

He’d have to have something

Especially being there for ages

Gem is very cool, she’s not always on as often as others but she’s very thoughtful with her responses which makes it nice to talk to her

Her and Marissa really have no other loyalties in this game so they would stay with us which is a big plus

That sounds really sweet and nice to work with a person like that!

Looking forward to getting to know her

Good morning! I think we should be good to survive these votes easily with the connections we have, Then moving forward me/you/bethany can work together as a tight group and really control how things go considering we’re covered from all angles

Did you get particularly close with anyone on Loved 3.0? I’m worried that Andrew/Clint/Jack/Sams/Soul are gonna try to come together to form a power alliance, I have slight connects to Andrew/Clint so that could be a way of infiltrating

Good evening!

100% agree with that strategy just got to get through to merge with us three

I felt quite close with Sams tbh

Like thought we quickly gelled

Jack is cool as well but not as close as Sams

Okay that’s good that you feel good with Sams, I feel like Bethany said the same thing about him from Loved 2.0. Jack is feeding me that he isn’t really close with Andrew/Clint, but Andrew is telling me he wants a mega alliance with all 5 members of Observed 1.0 + like me you and Marissa as stragglers 😭😭😭 So I don’t fully trust that side and honestly imagine they’ll be the biggest power group to take down later in the game

But if there are any cracks at all with Sams, that could be the way to break it

He is a really nice guy and feel we bonded over a couple areas but we will see long term

All of them individually told me that Omar was coming for me so I feel if they try to do something they might view me as a number which is good

I hate the idea though of Observed 1.0 like just voting with each other

It’s super boring

At least with us it’s just a three

That’s perfect, I think Clint and Andrew view me as a number for them as well so we’re well positioned to not be targeted by them and make the first move

I was down to work with some of them, and maybe this is just me being petty; but Andrew, Clint, and Jack all came to me separately and pitched the idea of working together, but it HAD to include Soul and a minority of other stragglers like me you and Marissa only so that we wouldn’t be able to revolt against them

Like no subtlety AT ALL

That just makes me want to cut their heads off

I think look

If you have to vote one of us out I’d love it to be Bree

But if you go for one of the OG observed

Jack could be a shout

I like him more than Clint and Andrew

But I think they are obvious if that makes sense

Actually I don’t know about this

It would be such a massive swing 😭😭 Which is what makes it so scary. If we took out Bree/Theo as easy choices, we get to push the big move down the line, and probably still have the numbers for it

I’m happy with Bree leaving too, but we could totally shatter that alliance in one swing

Does it make more sense to break the Andy/Clint alliance if we were to not do Bree?

Instead of Jack

Honestly that’s what I was thinking, I don’t think Andrew is the most powerful player in this game - but Clint is a demon in the nicest way possible

He has so many friends; everyone loves how stoic and straightforward he is

He’s honest with everyone

He’s the big fish from how I see it

Sometimes you want to keep the big fish around

As a shield

It’s tough

Exactly, taking such a big swing would make us the largest targets in the game automatically

So might be best for Bree

If Bree and Theo were to go here, we’d likely still have the numbers to do it a round or two from now

But let’s see how immunity goes, if Bree wins somehow then we’re just gonna have to do it

Either way I think we’re soooooo well positioned socially

As long as this Observed 1.0 contingent believes we’re with them all the way up until the last minute

We will wreck this game

Sounds good man!!!

If we don’t get to chat again after I wake let’s catch up at merge

If we do then I’ll chat to you in the morning

But yeah think maybe Bree is the way if she doesn’t win immunity

But she’d be feeling very vulnerable right now so I reckon she will

Yup I fully agree, makes sense to get Bree now since we know she isn’t a workable ally for us and we will still have the numbers to make a big move in another cycle or two. Enjoy your sleep! We’ll connect in the morning once we know immunity results

Good morning!

What’s your updated thoughts?

Hello there! I can’t say i’m pleased with the results of the immunity challenge - but I think we’re gonna play it safe and vote out Bree and they seem to want to vote fuggles, once we hit merge we should have the numbers to make something big happen

Unfortunately I thought Star could of been a backup if Theo won immunity and now both have it

If fuggles is the target that is a good option I think

They are a wilcard after the first advantage

Bree going is good I say for us

Hey, we’re in quite the shitty situation now that fuggles has used safety without power and those two won immunity, honestly I think Tully might be sacrificed which fucking sucks. We might just have to take a big swing this round

I don’t want to Tully to go

Like I really don’t

It might have to be

But I’d rather Gem or Marissa

I would rather avoid it, but at the end of the day I don’t want to stick my neck out for anyone that isn’t you or bethany

Tully is trying to push it onto Gem, but I know Marissa feels close with Gem and is also in favor with this majority alliance voting on the other side so it may be a difficult sell

Yeah i definitely get that for sure

My locked three is me, you and Bethany!

I just really don’t want him to go

But I get if it is

I’m fully with this!! This game is starting to get tough now, but everything i’m doing is in hopes that we can find our way to F3 together

I think a big swing needs to happen from the other side, we just have to take a stand sooner or later against this big alliance that’s forming

Good morning!

What are yall doing for the vote?

Lowkey be happy if yall took a swing at some like Clint, Andrew or Jack

I tried to sway off Tully but seems no reception to it

Good morning! That is exactly what we’re doing! I’m quite sad about Tully leaving but I think we could rope in Bree and Void by saving them and at least use them as numbers. Void is quite resentful towards Observed 1.0

I think we’re taking the swing on Andrew, but we’re being very lowkey about it cause we don’t want anything to blow up and they come after us in retaliation

They’ve been sending us some sketchy ass messages today

Oh really? What messages like?

Also happy for sure that it’s Andrew

Good option I reckon

Andrew has messaged us that he knows that there’s a plan forming, like he’s trying to scare us into doing what they want us to do. Plus he messaged multiple people asking about a mega alliance to keep everyone safe which is more annoying than sketchy but oh well.
Sams was also saying some funny things about how we are both inclined to take shots at each other

We were considering Bree yesterday but it feels silly to not strike now

Andrew was very worried at the start of the round

But hasn’t said anything to me since

Hmm okay maybe he’s just being paranoid in doing this then, he reached out to bethany like an hour ago asking if there was a plan forming so it’s clearly still on his mind

We’re so close lol I just want to execute and move forward

Yeah that would be my assumption

I think he is just all over the place

Tbh I’m pissed off and over this round

And happy seeing him go

I’m quite upset about how this shook out too, I think if anything else happened with immunity on our side it would’ve been someone else

How about that

I’m very sad that Tully is gone

and have lots of people pissed in my 1-1’s 😭😭

I could imagine

Clint is pissed offf

But you guys did your job with Andrew

Yeah he’s been quite fiery in 1-1’s with me, but I feel like he’s taking it as well as I could expect him to

Whats he saying?

I mean the good thing with him is he is a stragiht shooter so like you always no what hes thinking

He’s just saying that he’s most disappointed by me because we had an agreement and he never lied to me

And that Andrew was his best friend here and only wanted to work with me

Ahh I see I see

Unfortunately Andrew was tweaking and wanted a majority observed 1.0 alliance

did what we had to do

Exactly its not going to fly

I think we should have good numbers to control these first few merge votes

Hopefully the game is broken up now though

But let’s get a chat going with you me and bethany asap

I sure hope so, like I think we have void and bree available as numbers to us just from saving them - and I know bethany has a relationship with fuggles

So hopefully our names stay out of peoples mouths

but it’s a free for all now

Yes we need that chat going just to ensure we all on the same page together!

I think numbers are easily with us we just got to decide what to do with it

I put a request in

Hey I’ve got a question for you when you are around!

Sorry just woke up!!! Good morning!

Hey good morning!

The fallout from this vote has been absurd, Clint Jack and Sams have all been looking for an explanation and are understandably quite pissed

Clint is taking it the worst by far, but I think they all get why we did that

I think you are in a position of major power starting this merge. If the read I have on things is accurate, Clint Jack and Sams probably all really trust that you are working with them. Void/Bree/Theo all want out Observed 1.0 but don’t really consider you to be an enemy because it was Observed 1.0 that caused all this chaos. We have Marissa, Gem as numbers + even Fuggles/Star trust us a bit and will listen to us for the time being. Me you and Bethany can fuckin runnnnnn this game in the shadows

I know I feel like when you rip a photo in half and it’s like two sides because there’s been a messy breakup or something

Oh 100% excited about the three of us running things up - I was talking to Bethany briefly about like being an agent for both sides haha

Should have some information just dependent on timezones not clashing

Yes that would be great!! I can’t trust anything that Clint tells me anymore but he was saying that he trusted you so I feel like he may still give you information that can help us navigate through these votes

There’s been word passed around today that Jack may have an idol

Who is saying this?

Hopefully he does though like still tell me stuff

ATM a lot of it is just being annoyed at everyone haha

Apparently Jack may have been hinting to Fuggles/Star/Void that he has it as a way to try to get them scared off of voting for him

That is very understandable, they’re acting nice to me but I can tell they’re pissed

Well not Clint, we fought yesterday and he hasn’t said a word today

Sams told me that he knows Jack and Clint’s names are out there, I wonder who is telling him this stuff

He hasnt responded to me this morning yet

So I haven't heard anything there

Jack is very frustrated about being on the bottom

But I also view this as common sense I would say

Oh damn, Bethany told me the same for her

Morning! Yeah I have a feeling that Sams was just saying that to test who’s names are really out there. I’ve been waiting until after immunity to actually say anyone cause I made that mistake last round throwing Theo’s name around and then he won immunity

He’s not doing himself any favors, I tried to bridge the gap and tell him I’m sorry for how things played out but he just wanted to fight - then he bombed the challenge and told people it’ll be easier to vote him out

like… pouting isn’t gonna do you any favors lol

Did Theo catch wind of that at all?

Oh 1000% percent

But think he’s willing to work with anyone that will keep him safe lol

I don’t believe so, since he lost his vote at the lodge and then did the punishment in the immunity challenge where you could only talk through emoji’s - he basically had no agency or reason to talk to anyone that round since he couldn’t vote or be voted for

And honestly he has like no connections in this game

if someone did tell him - he has done a good job at keeping it from me

I think that word has gotten around the entire tribe at this point that Jack likely has an idol. So I think the other 10 players in the game that aren’t Jack Sams and Clint are interesting in splitting the vote and flushing the idol

But pretty soon we’re gonna need to start sniping people that are kinda just floating around waiting to make a move like Fuggles, Star, Theo

I wouldn’t mind getting Star out tbh

But I’ll have a chat to you when I wake up I got some ideas of how I can keep getting info from them

Yeah he’s had it fucking rough lol

Sounds good!! I feel the same on Star tbh, I know bethany is close with Fuggles - but that duo could really cost us if we leave them in too long

Like Bethany and Fuggles duo?

No no no, Star and Fuggles

Oh I see I see

I mean I feel star should be a target

Clint has been saying Star’s name to other people today, I don’t know if that’s really his intentions though

I would be happy to vote Star tbh

I can try see if Clint is actually saying this if you like?

Or if he decoying it

I would be interested to see if those were his real thoughts or not. Gem and Marissa want to target Fuggles, Bethany seems super against that

So he was open to targeting Star

Like that was the move

Then heard the fuggles stuff

And has changed to that

Interesting, as far as I know the only people who were pushing Fuggles were Marissa and Gem, so i wonder if they’re pitching that to him

Yeah from those two

That is what I meant

Okay, just between you and me I really don’t care when Fuggles goes home - I feel minimal loyalty to him. I think Bethany is gonna be a hard sell to get her to target him this early into merge

But honestly I think the only other plan on the table right now is a split vote between Jack and Clint

Which seems to mainly be pushed by Theo Void Bree

Theo wants to use his extra vote for it

So basically we are just sitting perfectly in the middle

Of two really really weird sides

Exactly 😭😭

We’re in a great spot tbh

For staying safe

but weird choices will have to be made

I’m probably going to sleep soon, but I think if we let people continue to make up their minds - they’ll all naturally just want to be in the majority of whatever happens and we can nudge them a bit towards whatever we want

I mean I still think one of the lesser voices should be sent home here

But I guess that really isn't an option at the moment

Like i think all three of the people you named are shields that we can keep ahold of

For our games

Yeah I completely agree with you too, I feel like Fuggles is the smallest shield of them all since people all kinda generally want him out. I’m not sure how easily we would be able to get votes onto a smaller voice without sticking our necks out and looking shady for trying to push a new name too hard

But ideally after this vote we go after someone like Theo? or Void/Bree tbh

Assuming we can’t make that happen this time around

Well like thinking if everyone always wants to target Fuggles that would make him a big shield

As someone that is a safety net vote

I am easily open to voting Fuggles like it doesn't bother me at all

I agree with that, I wish it wasn’t this way but the only 3 names that could go home at this point without pushing way too hard for a new name would be Fuggles Jack or Clint

Unless like Soul comes back from lodge??

That would be hilariously ideal to vote out Soul in my opinion

God that would be funy

I still think voting Star first merge boot after she named the tribe herself would be hilarious

But yeah you could be right about the names - the people that are pushing aren't onlien or don't chat to me much

Most of my chats have died down at this point now that it’s late here, which is frustrating since nobody seems to know what they’re doing with this vote

I honestly think everybody in the game would be onboard with voting Soul though

But banking on a lodge victory would kill us

I assume he would come back with an advantage though coming from the lodge

Like first one of merge

Apparently Theo has been pushing me with Jack Sams and Clint

Which honestly i’m inclined to believe

I asked Theo out of nowhere if they were going for Fuggles and he seemed to slip up and say they were going for me, but then course corrected and said Star or Fuggles

Oh shit

That I haven't heard at all

I don't know if Clint is 100% trusting

Of me

He called me out of leaking the plan

Becuase he said that moments after he told me

That you told him about the plan

Which plan? I didn’t even leak anything that you told me lmao

Man i’m twisted on this vote now, apparently Clint Theo Gem Marissa have all been plotting to get me out

Idk if this is a smoke screen from Jack or not

Just the fuggles one

I was like to him that you told me before he did lol

What lol??? I haven’t heard any of this

💀 That plan came to me from Marissa and Gem first LMAO, Clint doesn’t seem to understand that lots of people hear the same info

Mannnnn I can’t tell if i’m being twisted around by Jack or not

I know bro that’s literally what I told Clint and he was straight to blame me

Jack is telling me he wants to go for Theo cause Theo is trying to pin us against each other by making the options either a split vote against them, or all votes on me/fuggles

and Gem/Marissa have been pitching to me that they don’t want to take out Jack or Clint and that they’d take out Fuggles

so i’m kinda inclined to believe Jack is telling me the truth here, and Marissa/gem are only telling me part of the plan cause they’re trying to play the middle with Theo and not let me find out

Clint is a bit too hot headed for this game lol, luckily it makes him very easy to predict

Well Marissa and Gem haven’t told me shit

I’ve got information from either you or Clint lol

I’d be happy with Theo if that’s the move

Yeah he’s fine to keep around like he’s super simple to see what he’s doing

I think the Theo vote is the right move for us, and we need to get Bethany, Fuggles, Star, Void, Bree as numbers on it to ensure that even if we’re being lied to by Jack - the vote still goes Theo’s way

But Jack is swearing to me that he and Sams will vote Theo

Void has told me he’s onboard already

I know Bethany doesn’t want to see me go so i’m hopeful she’d do it too

If they’re also targeting Fuggles/Star I don’t see why they wouldn’t join this vote

Fuck it lets go for that then

I think that is a good shout

Okay cool, i’ll share with Fuggles and Star today and see what they think

I’m like 90% sure Marissa and Gem are not with us at all

Are they talking to you?

I haven’t gotten anything

No I don’t think either of them are on at the moment, but i’ve now heard from Jack, Void, and Fuggles that Gem has been actively pitching for me, using Theo as a number

So I believe it’s true

Is there anyway we turn it on gem?

Or is Theo the best chance

Thats what I was thinking

Cause there’s still a possibility that Jack/Clint/Sams/Marissa/Gem/Theo are all working tightly together - and they’re actively telling me to vote Theo

so if that’s the case, they must have a plan to make sure it doesn’t end up being Theo

if we switch to Gem and don’t let them see it coming, we could win here

Look I’m going to be honest it’s 1:30AM here for me and I had an extremely long day

I totally get that hahaha sorry to keep you up so late

I will be online before tribal so loop me in and happy to vote for whoever but I’ll hop off to get some shut eye!

Nah your all good don’t even stress

Just trying to get some info before I go to bed

So I have a rough idea of what the hell is going on

Whenever you get back on before the vote, hopefully it’ll be relatively easy to gather our thoughts and make sure we’re on the same page

right now i’d assume we’re voting for either Theo or Gem

and we know that Theo Gem Marissa and certain enemies, Jack/Clint/sam’s are telling me that they’ll vote Theo - but they’re probably voting me too

That’s the key info for now I suppose 🫡 Enjoy your sleep

Thanks man! I’ll chat to you soon!

Okay quick update for whenever you wake up. It seems like the current split is that Myself, Bethany, Void, Fuggles, Star are all voting Theo. Clint, Marissa, Gem, Theo are all voting Fuggles

Jack and Sams are claiming they’re down to jump onto the Theo vote but idk if I can fully trust that

Bree seems completely up in the air, but i’d imagine she’d vote for Theo once seeing who’s voting who

Even if worst case, Jack and Sams are lying and vote for Fuggles, it would be 7-7 with Theo’s extra vote helping tie it for them, but then in revote he wouldn’t be able to vote so we would win out 6-5

And also just to touch on what we talked about earlier, clearly Fuggles is an awesome shield for us right now so i’m inclined to work a little bit to save him this vote 😭

Okay apparently there’s a lot of people wanting to vote Jack now

Okay literally everyone is on Jack

this wasn’t even my plan really

They just can’t find out

Hey good morning

So it’s all Jack?

That’s who I’m putting vote in for?

Yes

Seems like it’s 10 v 3

Okay well that’s easy for me

Clint is gonna be mad again 😭 Sams seemed like he wouldn’t be all too mad if one of those two went home so hopefully he won’t take it as poorly

They’re all voting for Theo

and good morning 😭 straight to the strategy

Hahaha I know

It’s busy lol

I really hope we’re right and Jack has the idol cause I don’t think he sees this coming at all
