#7th-bethany

I feel like such a dork in in server dms lmao

hi everyone!

I will post some lore and tidbits later when I'm back from work and the vet and can wash the day off me

ricci is moving hard and fast and I love it. we're locked in

corny is great too but the others are AWOL atm

suppose I can get some confessional in. hey if no one is around it makes my job easier

but last org I was in was 10x10 people on 2 tribes and like 7/9 people on my tribe were ON IT immediately

it's only been 5 hours Ima give people a break but I got that antsy bouncy giddy marooning day vibe. don't ruin it for me by being inv

marooning time the happiest time in orgs before we have to kill each other

so HI my name is bethany, I’m 39, a she/her and live near sacramento, california. I’m childfree (by choice) and single (not as much lol) with a 15 y/o chihuahua-poodle-rat terrier, Havana. a day in my life is quite boring when I’m not orging. I’ve moved into my family home after my mom passed and am now away from the bustle of downtown and as such further away from more fun activities, and find myself homebound more than I’d love! so I am trying to decide if I want to move back to that area or somewhere completely new and different. I'm at a "turning point" in my life where it feels like big changes are coming, I just don't know when yet

so I spend my time playing video games, dogwalking, reading, watching movies, trying to paint, going through shit around the house, occasional movies out, concerts out. like watching basketball (go kings) and excited to watch the finals soon. I go to a couple games a season and they're always a fun time

my strategy in orgs is always fluid and highly dependent on the cast around me. I usually know right away how well I can potentially do in a game by how well I get along with my starting tribe. do we vibe, can I make allies, are they interested in me, are they talking game, etc, or are they NOT. I have gotten better about initiating game talk but in some convos I hit dead ends with people and they are hard to overcome. I'm a social player but sometimes my social self doesn't jive with people. I've gone out early a couple times because of this

in the last game I played, I went out 18/20 with an idol in my pocket after an unfortunate swap screw, so I'm still licking my wounds from that

before that, I was runner-up in my first FTC and even with the loss, felt on top of the world after having thought I could never make the end, so I've still got that confidence boost flowing thru me

bethany bg lore

@- Mike this one's for you

@Austin you should be able to see this now

@Bethany {S1} does austin have your blessing to be your confessional buddy (speaking perms)

welp

nevermind

welcome austin LOL

Thanks for having me

awww yay! happy to have you

completely factual btw

DAY 2

good morning peakers

day 2 actually technically begins when i reveal the immunity challenge

ahh well, it's also when I log on

but noted for my records

then a short recap on DAY 1 is in order, though very little has happened

(its how i get the season to be as mathematically close to 39 days as possible)

ooh that's a nice hint because I was expected 40 days+ with as many people. some double/triple elims may be in order hmmm

thanks for not doing the damn blood moon we would have rioted

ricci wanted to work with me in the very first message he sent because he misread I was a vet instead of I was going to the vet yesterday

now I loved it but now thinking more, I wonder if he did similar to other people

he's very eager, this is his first real org

think we need to vc at some point soon. I may need to wrangle him in so he doesn't get too excited

then not much later

everyone else I'm still working on, corny definitely next then it's all a blur with the other 3

I know it says alive player but why do I feel like I'm on the dead player tribe

aw yeah ryan wants to work with me too

and the spurs win?

great night

Socialthany

friendly bethany

whoa we got tiff in here?? hi tiff! I won't ping you bc you hate it

I was mad at you for voting me out but you were also the only person who gave me a clue it was happening which allowed me to play my SITD, so thanks for that

I'm so used to immediately getting into chat mode when I wake up but due to timezones and this tribe's general inactiveness outside of me and ricci, I don't really need to

I'm worried having fewer strong connections will hurt me in a swap. and if we go down to 5 here, I'm not looking forward to another tribal

ah poor ricci thinks we're getting first with our flag. he's never seen how extra some can get with these

pretty sure my guy is going to exile

ricci by far has made the best first impression. I'm so glad he's here like thank god someone on this tribe wants to play the game

we're going to make a good team and have made good with ryan and corny. envisioning a 4 forming soon especially if we go to tribal

idfk what is going on with molly, she's not around. tully clearly has a personality and could be fun to play with but is not on very often, but there was an attempt

being fake is difficult for me. sometimes I see extreme emotions come out on orgs, especially the player love that can form when bonds get more intense, and I don't always feel that way. I have a kind of love for my fellow players because we're connected by being in this game together. but when people are like YAAS QUEEN I LOVE U kind of talking I cringe some. but at the same time I feel like I should fake that too when it gets to that point. mirror what the others are doing and be more vulnerable. that's what I want to do this game

to answer the question being fake can and does absolutely get you ahead in the game. just say whatever the other person wants to hear. make people feel good about themselves and talking to you, even if you don't mean it

I'm here to make friends if it happens but I want to win more than anything else

fuck

fuck indeed

this is why I hate subjective challenges

never saw someone volunteer to go before but this is perfect for me and ricci and everyone else

how familiar am I with twin peaks? I bleed red velvet

my love for twin peaks is 100% why I applied to this org

I'm a sucker for a good theme what can I say

tully says let's work together and I said sure. ricci told me tully threw out cornys name yesterday, so that should be the conflict if we go to tribal again

ricci and I agree we'd want ryan as the third over corny

btw that flag was 100% me and riccis beautiful lastplace entry. no one else did shit

I will never, ever have a perfect game. it's just not possible. I'm always catching strays like come onnn

me bitching about a perfect game when I've only even made it to ftc one time 😂

fixed this

Not your perfect game already ruined

Time to take over and fight for what you want

I just have to laugh like

in another way getting acknowledged by her is a badge of honor. she was insane but also insanely iconic

and I will bb but it's only the second cycle

I am doing my little subtle things right now

like encouraging ricci to be vocal so that he's a bigger social threat than me. which is already apparent to me but for now I am 100% loyal

this twist with fuggles talking to the entire cast is so cursed

I feel great about the challenge because it was very difficult for me so I'm glad I finished even with a crap time

ricci said he did his puzzle in 20 minutes and I don't have the heart to tell him that the others might have done them in 5 mins

corny is implying he dnf so

disaster tribe incoming

news to me that u guys are allowed to discuss that

who am i to strike anyone though

oh our bad, pls accept my apology. it's that fuggles was allowed to ask about the puzzles so

nonono ur all good lol

i genuinely do not know the rules lmfao

ty and besides we're going find out soon enough

any day now

any fawkin day i feel u

no one is more upset about this challenge than me i promise u that much...

stop im getting messy inpublic

pretty ruthless for a second challenge I tell you

what a pleasant surprise

this is a nice lil group of guys. would be a shame to vote any of them out right now so I'm happy

corny was hard on himself for dnf the challenge and I'm here to say corny you should not feel ashamed at all. I would have dnf that challenge and possibly logic from what I heard. prod chose difficulty levels way beyond necessary for this challenge and I'm still annoyed about it. if we lost I would have been mad at them not mad at you at all

I need to meet void in this game bc anyone who reps mfing clay from thailand in their pfp I need to talk to

bc anyone who says they don't like thailand gets this

this is a crappy swap for me but my decent relationship with fuggles may come in clutch

thanks to this twist I hate I have one relationship on the tribe at least

good morning

still finding my footing in this new tribe. never as simple as on my starting tribes

I want to trust fuggles but he can pick and choose allies and is probably collecting a bunch as we go

first day without ricci and it's rough. I miss my buddy

fuggles has slid into that spot by default and it's fine but I can't get over how much social power he has. he can know anything and everything

fuggles being loose with info about voids advantage. does he really trust me or does he not give a fuck about secrets? would void like it if he knew we all know about his weird idol now

🥹 i see you ricci

@Alive Player Confessional Question: What's your thoughts on the hint posted in #treemail?

don't have a clue in hell but fuggles gave me a command to another clue, even more cryptic

I gave it a lot of thought but I fear I'm not built for that

not figuring out idol hunts? this is nothing new for me

so if I don't find anything it's fine I'm used to playing naked

I feel like I'm behind socially with the new group some but I'm not sure why. like it's not all clicking as easily as on served tribe

if we went to tribal I'm nervous as hell but need to remember everyone here only has one buddy from their og tribe. they have to make new connections too

well everyone but fuggles of course

I'm leaning on my relationship with fuggles here, by proxy AK. I feel good with sams and ok with bree and soul. gem is amazing too but is less on these days. she's got work but I wish she were on more consistently. I want to talk to her about game stuff but we're not there yet

the black lodge is cursed and I don't ever want to go there

I'm not looking forward to voting anyone because I'm feeling preheat and going to adopt the anything but me strat

I'm the odd one out here, why not vote me and not piss anyone off here

ahhh feels good not to suck

sad that ricci and ryan and are tribal but with tully they should be fine, loop in one more

ugh I really want to talk to them

I want to live tweet the game to ryan tonight

sams will have to do

sams is amazing but also take 12 hours to respond sometimes

fuggles was pitching an alliance with us and AK and sams and I approve of this grouping so much

idk if will materialize as soon now that we're safe but it's cooking

this tribe reminds me of served tribe since no one is on at the same time really

I got my pst brother fuggles though. ricci was in est but felt like he was always on with me too

I miss a person I can talk to or at all day and it's fine

most people here we're sending paragraphs back and forth hours apart and I'm a different person at 9am than I am at 4pm or 10pm

I'm also high a lot of the time btw like it's a part of my life

I dont really drink any more for so many reasons. one of them is drinking and orging do not mix for me. I remember fucking things up when I was tipsy. my loose lips and all

that time they released dozens of goats in my neighborhood

How is bethers doing

hey you. ohhhh just chilling, making friends, not making enemies afaik, the usual

my tribe keeps winning so it's been great

I'm getting flashbacks to my last game where I was voted out after losing a scavenger hunt challenge

we also left points on the table and the other tribes swept

I feel way more secure here than then but it's still not super solid

loosely secure. maybe that's enough for now

I like reading but bringing it up is difficult bc I'm always reading weird or insane shit

like look at this first page. really trips you up huh. this is not for children!

this tribe is chill but we're all getting quiet. bored maybe?

I don't want to go to tribal but maybe we should go to tribal? we've won 3x now and it's lovely but

page 1 is crazy

what an introduction

ikr. it's shocking but supported by what follows. I'm really into it

perms pls I need to speak to ricci

SWAP TIME!
@Alive Player, how do you feel about your new tribe? Off first impression, who sticks out to you as allies/targets and why?

-

I am SO pleased with this swap after thinking I was screwed last time

I got ricci back, I got tully, I got corny. I got fuggles and fuggles has star and all together we have majority

so happy to be reunited

between us I believe we've met everyone or damn close to it and can work the middle if we want

planning a vc for tomorrow because I dont want to type out everything

so great being with ricci again

just spilling everything and everything

we both are I mean

I dont know if I've ever had this level of trust with a day 1 person before

cliffnotes from vc much appreciated ^_^

ricci is such a solid ally and I love talking to him

all business, strategy, like let's get down to the meat and potatoes of it all pls

let's see well on his last swap tribe, he was in an alliance with marissa, clint and andrew, then another group with ryan and tully

if they went to tribal again it could have been chaos as he was in the middle of these groups

ryan and tully both adore us and want to work with us both still. ryan would be a solid number for us if he survives

we talked about the tribe and agreed that soul would be the likely target if we go to tribal

I mentioned soul and gem were less active on our other tribes. I said gem would be a huge social threat if she simply is on more

I told him about the alliance fuggles formed with me fuggles AK and sams

ricci thinks the alliance of andrew-jack-clint-sams will be the power group to watch out for especially come merge

andrew and clint are super tight he says

corny and tully hate each other for some reason and won't work with each other

so that's another conflict to push if we need to vote here

we both affirmed going to the end together and as of RIGHT NOW I feel that way

I don't think I could beat ricci at the end except I have ftc experience and he doesn't

so I know a little bit of what I need to do differently now but

ricci is strong af socially and I'm very surprised it's his first real game

what else

I told ricci star is close with fuggles because star pitched colluding on the turf challenge

and ricci had already thrown star's name out to fuggles at a pervious tribal so he's wary of that

we're looking at the players here to try to figure the best group or groups to form to protect us

but to be careful that not everything has us both together. we are really trying to downplay this relationship

catching up

I love marissa here and would like to work w her very much. ricci said the same and he was closest w her on the last tribe

ricci was in the middle there with andrew-clint-marissa and tully-ryan and would have had a tough choice if they went to tribal again

ricci saying an alliance with marissa comes with gem by default and like

I love gem too but shes inconsistent and I dont feel like she would prioritize me in the game

star told me all about the rlime tribal and it sounded like a mess

corny was in trouble and saved himself by a thread and I'm lowkey impressed bc I didnt think he had it in him

aw AK no :(

you were a sweetheart very sorry to see you go

woke up to two shiny new alliances

me tully ricci

me ricci marissa gem

now I've gotta working relationship with everyone but soul and star

soul would be my choice tonight but they are crushing this challenge and may have more friends than I know

so I think the vote will be corny and I'm fine with that too

he trusts me but is schemey and isn't connected elsewhere here beyond with ricci, afaik

Bestany at work

She’s taking it!

Bethmillionaire

Show these little hooligans how it’s done

this vote started off by tully pitching corny early to a few people though not to me

star firmly between corny or tully to kick things off helped guide the convo

ricci and I privately are set on keeping tully over corny so we've been working to sway this neutral bunch

Confessional Question: What would be a good confessional question to ask everybody? Maybe to get them to think about things that might help your game? @Alive Player

hmmm the arrival of theo kinda complicates things. people were WAY too excited to see him back yesterday

nevermind now I got to deal with everyone else

this upcoming tribal is a clusterfuck of possibilities

somehow I am working with damn near everyone here

ricci and I are itching to make a Big Move but are gonna be smart about it

cool as cucumbers

we've got marissa and gem on board with this move and I'm nervously excited

I think it will work but I am concerned about the fallout

but the numbers that will form as a result will be strong

we don't have it settled but we're going to do andrew or jack

unless anyone chickens out

oooof first round I'm really lying out my teeth to more than just the target

hi tully!!!!!!!!!!

man am I sorry you went out that way that was BULLSHIT

that was a stressful ass round but it went exactly as expected in the end

I am doing damage control with sams and clint. jack has yet to message but I'm technically the next to respond so ehhhhh

I burned clint and as of now that connection is severed. I made up with sams enough to reaffirm working together and jack hasnt mentioned the vote at all

now ricci says void says likely jack found the idol so that's just great

a little more spicy now but I don't see why we can't get numbers to split on jack and clint or sams

me marissa gem ricci ryan void bree fuggles star

what a telephone haha. jack told star who told void who told ricci who told me that jack has an idol

spent the night stuffing my face and crying over the challenge

and now I'm sick from stuffing my face so I don't feel like talking much

I fear a lot of my convos are feeling more forced and that makes me nervous

jack and sams are faking it but clint doesn't want to talk to me and I don't blame him

my damn dog had seizures today man like

I miss her so much. she's at the vet hospital over night

I don't give a FUCK who goes home right now (except ricci)

those motherfuckers

I'm so enraged from havanadog and now this happens

I'm going thru it. I feel like I could be lost in the game without ricci

he gave me so much info. I was lucky to have him as my ally

barely anyone talked to me today. maybe it was the dog stuff, but I wasn't included in many plans

it's clear who prioritizes me and who doesn't (hint gem and marissa sure as hell don't)

maybe that's ok for now with so many people left and I can sneak utr more easily

this fucking guy!!!!!!!!! fuggles man

You’re a tough cookie Bethany

You deserve rest and love

havana dog came home today!

she is resting and seems peaceful. we're both happy she's back

HAVANADOG IS OK!!!

she was all flopping around but I wrapped her in her blanket and she settled immediately

all she wants is to wrap in blanket

hopefully she's walking and all ASAP

man fuck ALL of this

I'm not happy with gem right now

GOOD DEED???????????????

am I just that cold or what because I dgaf that we lied about andrew, voted him out, and then wanted to target jack and clint next

fuggles and gem really are responsible for ricci leaving

I have meaner words in me

realllllly fast I'm realizing how few allies I have now

gem and fuggles are supposed to be allies but they fucked up real bad

she did NOT have to vote for ricci like that was already happening

maaaaaaan idk who to trust now

maybe naive but I still trust fuggles the most

he admitted his fuck up immediately and there was true regret but gem is justifying it and it's so upsetting

my allies rn I believe are ryan, fuggles, sams, and void. maybe bree and star

I am sucking up to theo and clint to repair whatever is there and I hate it

havana dog, my love. I am so sorry you're going through this

I'm a fucking wreck right now and I have to talk about the vote and it seems obscene

I love this game so much and I don't want to leave

it's just I'm no longer operating at full capacity

if havana dog dies and I stay in the game, do I tell anyone

twisted ass thoughts even considering it but

the game is a fun distraction from real life sometimes

in dec 2024 I was in a game when my mom fell suddenly super ill and died

I considered staying for two seconds before realizing there is NO WAY I can pretend with these people that everythings ok

so I was medevaced and moved on

this feels different somehow. like maybe I can fight thru it

when my mom died I didnt tell anyone on the cast because I didnt want it to hurt their experience from feeling my pain

@Bethany {S1} hey just wanna let you know that if you feel the need to pull yourself from the game if it comes to that it's no judgement and we support and all have love for you and havanadog

normally in fiovivor (series prior to this) we were staunchly anti-quit and we still are with the exception of circumstances, this being one of them

and if you do wind up deciding to pull yourself you have the choice of whether or not you'd like to be on the jury

thank you mike. it means the world

ofc

I think I am very good at compartmentalizing things at this time

I want to gather a coalition of outsiders and take down gem at this next vote

had a very good consultation with lap of love this morning

I feel more at ease with seeing how havana does and knowing when it might be time

still kinda surreal being in the game with this happening but like I said I am able to separate these feelings pretty well so far

I know our pictures are the same but still lmao

oh my

I'm tired yall

I thought I'd feel less anxious immune but that's not happening

and I might have been persuaded to move off gem which bugs me

this is so funny to think that

me leaking to fuggles what gem said about the ricci voteout to fuggles led to this blowup from gem

basically imo fuggles is the dragon and the people who take him out can win the game

just made a new friend in whoever put crystal castles on the playlist

I know my confessionals are lacking. if I actually make ftc I'm gonna be doing it all from memory, 😅

I don't think I'm getting my way again and I'm annoyed

gem is such a strong utr threat and she is a YAPPER. she will yap such a great speech

and that person is theo and maybe we are making friends? I dont know but somethings happening

voting out gem and now theo is truly a free agent so I can work with that

I'm over clint and so is half the cast so I'm almost certain he's going next but

sams and fuggles won't like that one bit

CONFESSIONAL QUESTIONS
@Alive Player

- How do you feel about your position in this
game right now- are you on a specific side or playing the middle? If you had to predict your power ranking, where do you think you fall amongst the tribe?
- So far we have four people on the Jury. Are these your friends and allies that you anticipate will vote you to win the game, or do you think you’re struggling to get votes?
- We’ve got Touchy Subjects up and coming. Now this is a challenge that typically makes the power structure more obvious, from there do you anticipate the game to be shaken up or the social heiarchy to become even more set in stone?
- Finally, update us on your journey so far! How have you made it to this point in the game? Clear trajectory? Rough path? Tell us all about it!

honestly I think I'm in a pretty good position right now but

I dont have confidence in my ability to win the game

I feel like I havent done enough and I've been distracted

I have decent relationships with people on the jury. none of them hate me

touchy subjects is always a little stressful

last time I played I won the coveted goat award. and ended up losing in the f2

these subjects certainly are touchy

damn people really looking at the challenge and I'm so glad I didnt alphabeticaly chop like I thought I might lmao

I've made it here so far based on purely social game. that's it. that's the strategy

if enough people like you in any particular group you won't get voted out

now winning that ind immunity was not on my bingo card and such a pleasant surprise bc

I can never rely on winning a challenge

I might have to do what I did when I made the end the one time and start cutting some deals

preferably with comp beasts

who will take me : D

but this time make sure I can beat them

the thing is I want to vote out fuggles and there's no reason to vote out soul or theo and that pisses me off

soul and theo could cruise to f3 and the third person wins

I'm more mad at prod and the season design than I am at soul or theo

it's like getting mad at chris for winning EoE. it's not his fault the game allowed him to be voted off 3rd and live with the jury and still win

soul and theo were stuck in the lodge for way too long and now they have an auto chance to get to the end

which pisses me off but it's not their fault

I'm feeling bitter though like I want to vote them off so ftc is competitive

but also like I need to make a deal with them

this round I want to go for sams or fuggles and it breaks my heart

and yet so easily I can be convinced otherwise bc I love to kick the can

nooo fuggles wants to go to the end with me

ngl I'm flattered but it's gonna make betraying him so much worse

he knows he'd wipe the floor with anyone but he's gracious enough to allow me to lose to him

I'm too cynical

this vote is eerily quiet and idk why

I have a 5 cobbled together that should be able to control this vote so

why doesn't it feel confirmed

sams being offline a lot now is part of it. ryan has been reliable but timezones so he won't be on during the meat of tribal

I'm in office today so doing everything on my phone is so annoying

if I'm voting for star they deserve a good parch but idk if I can

sams confirmed so we have 5 on star and should be solid

so another plan executed flawlessly and yet

I wonder if I'm hitching my train to the wrong wagon

like us 5 could cruise to F5 but

I worry about sams or fuggles getting to the end

sams taking a hit not being around but he's got clints vote and possibly others bc he's charming

I should go to the end with some combo of void ryan theo soul

bree sams and fuggles got to go

Bethany at final 8?

I never doubted those vibes

Time to be thinking about our final 3

Ope you already are

I knew you’d be thinking of such things

Let’s wrap it up

Teach these hooligans how it’s done

They don’t know what they got with bestany

Ricci will be rooting for us

But stay pragmatic…

It’s okay to be a villain too

Parvati said nice girls don’t win

Cut someone if you have to

It’s your time win or lose

I know who I have to cut but getting the right people involved may be difficult

I am also starting to get worried about ryan who may be very difficult to get voted out

he's playing the middle suuuper well

locking in with void

he's a threat to win too but I got to take my shot and he's who i trust the most that I think I can beat

maybe not locking in with void after all LOL

theo shared that void and fuggles have a shared idol

no fucking wonder void doesnt want to vote out fuggles

locking in with theo instead

I definitely have underestimated void's threat level

and this explans why everyones been so secretive about the white lodge

shared idol doesnt want to be shared

this vote is gonna shake up the game

@Alive Player
Congratulations on making it to our FINALE EPISODE!

seems like a lot of people for finale no? but I'll take it

proud of myself

I've never been in this kind of comfy position where I'm just not considered to vote out. it's been nice

now whether that means no one views me as a threat or not well tbd because I can dress up everything I did at ftc when the time comes

@-fio :D just busting out the graphics for the finale

FINALETHANY???

I’m so happy for you

I won't know if that move was a mistake or not til I'm voting for bree soul or theo to win the game

I'm thinking bree next, then void, then sams at 5

and any vote could be ryan instead

thing is if I flip on bree now soul and theo won't trust me and I need them for endgame

F7 CONFESSIONAL QUESTIONS!!!
@Alive Player

- I know you guys are sick of me asking for your season's narrative, but I'm asking one last time! I want to write something that reflects the journeys of the F7 properly, so if you would be so inclined to tell me about your journey/arc/narrative/story again, it will help with my creative process!
- Let's talk about the gameplay. How're you feeling after the eliminations of Star Updates & Fuggles - are we in a W or L spot for this endgame? If you're in a W spot, how will you maintain your momentum to make FTC? If you're in an L spot, what's the plan to climb your way back up?
- Tell me about one person that you're playing for. It could be a friend or loved one, an ally on the Jury, who's motivating you to do as well as you can in this game? On the contrary, who is one person that you believe didn't deserve to make finale? Why?
- Anything else you deem is important to share at this time, share! Whatever you write will be used/important for the piece I want to write about you guys and your journeys this season. Please also feel free to reach out if you would like a 1-on-1 interview! <3

this has been such a long game and yet it's been gone thru in a flash

my game since ricci vote has been colored by my dealing with havanadog and her troubles

a couple rounds I was barely around yet was protected enough to get by

I game into this game seeking redemption

I went 18/20 in the game before and was down on myself. it was a weird situation but

I could have saved myself. I had an idol, the first and only I've ever found

so there's always what-ifs running thru my mind

and I came here feeling kinda down, not super excited, nervous

not in my best frame of mind and yet

I found relationships everywhere and everyone wanted to work with me

so my game can be summed up in being social and being flexible with who went, anyone but me

I pushed sometimes, didn't push others

I'm in a W spot after losing fuggles and star because this group needs me to take out bigger threats

Idk if anyone realizes the middle position I find myself in here

ryan too, we have control of this next vote

one person I'm playing for? gotta be my mom. I miss her so much and know she would be cheering me on

I am lowkey scared shitless to face this jury

I'm going to have to dissect the moves I made because they were few and subtle but

I can claim gem's votes, partially fuggles

I may have already lost the game because Idk if I can get there with soul and theo

I miss ricci, I miss fuggles

this cast has been pretty great all things considered

I should write more about my journey but it's been so simple in my mind

remain social, secure working relationships, maintain relationships, eliminate threats, remain flexible

other than ricci I did not have a super close alliance this season. I never met someone I wasn't willing to throw utb to get further

I held secrets and shared others

I got lucky in the premerge avoiding lots of tribals

I met a lot of people at merge which made it easier to vote them out

sams now, void/ryan, void/ryan, bree, me soul theo ftc

i'm playing both side very hard this round and I hope I dont get caught

they're gonna alex from 49 me

aww shucks guys you got me

genuinely do think it could be me here. idk why exactly but there's a quietness that I remember from being voted out before

I do not like how patriotic sams is. like be for real

he's 21 I mean I was a liberal dumbass when I was that age too

there's shenanigans afoot and I might be seeing my name here

I knew it knew it with how quiet people are when they're usually not

this is so fucked up i can’t believe this is happening

it's ok I had a way out and chose to take a swing

I did not want to vote for soul ffs

ROBBEDTHANY! You went out there after a rough org time and you showed you still had the power to get far on a large cast. Even with the irl issues that came up, you still stayed in and fought the best of your ability. Always a team player and kept your head up high, part of key votes, and winning challenges. I’m so happy you were able to thrive in this way. And still would’ve continued if not for the idol of it all, which proves to your game even more (idol outs are the worst just ask me, although part of me i guess learned to be flattered in some way). But I’m proud of you for doing it this long and getting to be your friend! You didn’t fail Laura or anyone else

omg can we add a best confessional buddy award

this king

It’s the very least i could do for our gal

isn't he great? always comes in with love when I need him most

thank you bosstin you've helped me a lot this season and I'm proud of getting so far I was so intimidated when I saw a 24 person cast with a bunch of kids (complimentary)

I saw the kids too 😆 and I was like OMG that’s a tricky slope and yet here you are like seven out of 24 or something. And then advantage due to it no less. You could handle a lot more than I could and you should be proud that they needed to get rid of you with some sort of split vote / idol mix up. Can’t kill us that easily

took me a minute that even if ryan and I had voted soul it would have tied and they would have voted me on the revote

we should have voted sams but with the lodge fuckery it wasn't going to happen

so now I don't feel as bad not falling for that obvious full vs half idol play. I just love to call idolers bluffs because I've been right more often than not

looking at edgic and pondy I'm floored

I was playing my best game to date despite my placement 😭

I'm so annoyed at the AI allegations when ryan wrote a concise and strong speech imo yes I know how biased I am. he wrote a speech more like I would stripped of emotions and idk if that's a winning strategy

bree a bit delulu in her speech and influence over the rounds in which ryan me and voids alliance decided where to go
