Bromigos Forever/Confessionals

Day 34
"andante"

- Brian is gone, and I am inconsolable. The Blood Knight to the Cum King is dead, and with that goes my brother in the game. I'm now essentially a one-man army against a four-strong syndicate, with my only ally being Chloe, who under all circumstances is barely here half the time.

I'm furious. Liam and Sam have both stated they didn't flip so that Brian, Chloe and I didn't have a path to the final 3. So what, you guys essentially are willing to go to the final 4 just so that none of us have a chance of it? Even though Zach and Hesh will no doubt form 2 of those spots, leaving you with only one? Christ.

No idol, one ally against four, shit at challenges and likely not even the highest number of garnets. Fuck.

"andante"

- So now that Brian is gone, Isaac doesn’t understand why no one is making a move against Zach. Well that’s because we have a final 3 and it’s not budging. Liam messaged me about going for Zach this round and bringing in Sam. Of course I said yes and that it would be a good idea. I brought up some concerns about it to, to show I was serious. I let Zach know and spoke to Sam. I came up with the idea that when he tells Sam we make a groupchat of 3 where Sam says he’s down but better to do it at 5 people. I will begrudgingly agree. We do Isaac this round and that prevents a 3-3 tie. Next round Liam goes and then we take out Chloe at FIC since she doesn’t really play the game.

Day 35
"andante"

- This will be my final confessional.

Zach won immunity like a big cheeky boy, and he was pretty much the assumed target due to his expanded threat level. So much for that. Alas, this means that the obvious choice is now myself. Zach has no real gain from taking any of Sam, Hesh or Liam out, none of THOSE guys have any gain from taking each other out, and I'm easily a much stronger threat than Chloe towards a jury.

All things considered, I'm actually at peace with it. In previous votes I've always found another angle to approach the vote at to save myself, but with this one I can truly see that it's just my time. And that's okay. I've played a great game - I had a solid income of garnets, I found one of the only two idols in the game, and my social game allowed me to make it all the way to the Final 6. Not only that, I was a strong vote in numerous big moves - the Felipe boot, the mutiny, the Lexi vote, the Isaiah vote - and I was also the figurehead of Zach's two assassination attempts, both of which were only one vote away from succeeding. Not a bad run at all, considering that Tokelau was a game I spent entirely on the outer with a very poor social game.

I hold no regrets. As for these garnets, I'm likely going to split five of them equally and give the final one to whoever I feel needs it most. Logically that'd be Chloe, but personally I'd actually rather spare her from facing the jury as I fear they're not going to be kind. We'll see, I suppose.

Thank you all for the best ORG I've ever played. And as Dante once said, "yeah nah it was pretty fun hey cunt"

"andante"

- Whelp

I did it

I made it past the largest hurdle left in my game

Winning immunity at f6 so that Liam would back off on the blindside plans of me til next round where sam, hesh and i will be able to dictate the rest of the game.

this honestly feels insane. like, genuinely, this is the most dominant ive ever been in an org. Who woudla believed you if they told you that I would be in the position im in with how big of a target ive been all game? im v shocked and honestly kinda surprised that im still here

however, now for some reason, we are doing a split vote... even though chloe is also voting for isaac and theres no way he has another idol? ...and for some reason sam and i (keep in mind, sam is one of the people liam was gonna flip on me with last round) have to now vote for chloe and not tell liam? so liam will be even less trusting of me and sam? for no reason? at all? i dont understand how heshs mind works sometimes dude like i genuinely dont. dont get me wrong - wonderful, loyal ally. but his big moves-itus has almost cost us so much of this game and im getting worried that this last bout of it is gonna cause my downfall. i dont want liam to be so hell bent on voting me out at 5 that he acquires wealth through garnets along the way which may be used againt me at 5. this is just lying and overcomplicating for no reason at all and im not here for it. its so dumb, so meaningless and such an obvious play to the jury for him that i almost wanna just go awol on it and vote for isaac as planned but i dont want to give hesh any opportunity to flip away to chloe and liam next round.

i dont really have a lot to say this time around tbh cause outside of the most pointless play of all time here its been a v quiet round and one that should just be incredibly simple. whatever ill be able to put the butter on em put the butter on the dog soon enough

such absurd hijinks

"andante"

- So, since Liam and I have been talking lately about a Zach blindside. I have come up with the plan for a secret split, with Zach and Sam voting Chloe and Liam and I voting Isaac. Liam as no idea its happening, so when the votes are read, Chloe should be voting Isaac so it'll be 3-2-1. Then Zach and Sam will BS something and I'll pretend to Liam like I'm all confused. Then we bring in Chloe to "vote" out Zach. This is just to prevent Liam from going to hard in the next challenge. It also gives me something additional on the resume for end game. A bit of a risk, but If Liam doesn't know, there'd be no reason for him to flip into a "3-3" vote.

Day 36
No confessionals were submitted on Day 36.

Day 37
"andante"

- Day 37 and I'm still here. Guess it's been a while since I wrote anything but my mind is a fragile shell of what it was at the start.

I'm pissed that I screwed up in immunity, I wanted to be certain I was in the final 4 tonight. Guess I better just keep working my ass off socially. Unfortunately I'm going to try and break up Butterdog in order to try and secure my chances of winning. This is the most guilty I've felt all game though, I didn't think I'd be this heartbroken over voting someone out but I'm probably going to cry tomorrow if he does leave. I'm looking out for myself, here. If I see this after the season though and I leave before Zach, I'm gonna feel so stupid.

"andante"

- well

here it is

the end of an era,,,,,,,

the end,,.,,,....,,,,..,,, of butterdog,..,,,,,.,,,,,

because liams been tryin to yeet me for two rounds! and honestly, i thank him for it! its super good for my game! because:

A.) i get to get liam out at 5 rather than 4 and not have to blindside him unwarranted because he actually did doublecross me, so fic is not gonna be nearly as much of a worry to me, and

B.) this is gonna look really bad as a game move for both sam and hesh, both of which i fully intend to be at the ftc with. any agency that can be removed from hesh and especially sam who i view as the one person who could beat me is a big ol positive in my eyes. hesh and sam have now, then, kept me around for each and every single blindside attempt on me, and with the narrative that hesh is my lapdog and the fact that i had to get most of my information from this game through other channels as most people shut them down with me due to my threat and primary target status, this is shaping up to be an incredible arc for me to show at ftc and im feeling super confident about my chances of winning...

...unless, of course, sam or hesh or both have been leading me along this far and lulling a false sense of security into me for this very reason, in which case like shit dude fair enough well played. but i really doubt thats what happened. the three of us now have endured so much together and been together so long, and the fuckin dudebro vibes are just SO EXTREME that i really dont think that much testosterone could possibly lead to anything less or more than what im viewing. these dudes are with me and im with them and thats just the end of it.

chloe, then, while my smartest move would be to yeet sam at 4 and go to the ftc with hesh and her, im not gonna do that. loyalty is my ENTIRE game this time and if i were the one to break that right at the end of the game i almost certainly lose whatever respect i actually have. i have a feeling that most of this jury isnt too keen on me as two of these people left the game on pretty bad terms with me and theyve both had a lot of time to talk to the other jurors and strengthen their narratives yknow? and like, i know at LEAST andrew (who, honestly, i dont think would shittalk me like that so im not rly worried about it) has been active cause he reacts to tc a lot so it is a worry that the few bridges that got burnt are gonna spread and cause embers on the other ones leading to a perception based destruction of my chances but i mean

thats out of my control and if thats the way it ends, so be it. im actually not THAT worried about placing 2nd to sam if we're honest. hes played great as well and i really, honestly just wanna see one of the two of us walk away with this crown. i just hope it lines up for me to take it. i am pretty worried about ftc - the last time i went to one i went in with the W in the bag but really fucked up on jury questioning and lost, like, 2 votes causing me to juuust barley win, and i know sam and i are a lot closer on the tier list than i was with my previous runner up. i just cant yeet sam out dude i just cant do it and if that costs me the game then thats fine thats just me gettin buttered thats just sam puttin the butter on em puttin the butter on the dog the butter on the butterdog the dog with the butter butterdog butter dog the dog with the butter on him butter butterdog

"andante"

- So we had this plan at 6 which went into affect at 5. We did a vote split to be safe, but also to make Liam feel close to me. Then Liam pushed his plan of Zach at 5 on me. After I won immunity we brought it to Chloe. For a "final 3". Eventually Sam was also involved in the vote. In the end I could've went either way, but I decided on sticking with the boyz.

Below is my thought process in my chat.

He$haYesterday at 10:24 PM

@bradwest86

I’m internally conflicted

I could win this game easily taking Liam and Chloe to the end

But Idk if I can vote out Zach and Sam

bradwest86Yesterday at 10:54 PM

YES

THIS WAS THE ONE I WON

WOOOOO

He$haYesterday at 10:57 PM

Idk what to do

Like if I vote out Liam here with Zach and Sam that’s the final 3

And we’ve had it since day 1

It’d be close everyone views me as Zach’s second in command which isn’t true

But perception is everything

But if I take Zach out here with Liam and Chloe (Liam thinks I’m with him, he has this plan, Zach and Sam are aware of it) then at final 4 I have to win immunity because I’ll be the biggest threat) also Zach Will give Sam his garnets

So much to consider

I really have played the best game but I gotta make the jury see it

He$haToday at 1:12 PM

I’m so conflicted

I need advise lol

I’ve never been in this position

Where I actually cared

He$haToday at 1:24 PM

I’ve decided

Bromigos forever

Sorry I can’t go against the boys

Can’t do it

Day 38
"andante"

- THE PLAN WORKED WE ARE IN THE FINAL 4. Chloe knows she's next and she's not much of a threat to win final immunity. So the boyz are one step away. Let's go! This has to be easily one of the most dominant alliances ever.

"andante"

- well shit

here we are

i actually pulled it off

and im completely in shock about it

never in a million years would i have expected to actually be here, 3 hours away from the final 3, with a very genuine chance to take home the W. Like, this is genuinely super shocking. I never expected to make it this far! I dont have a gameplan anymore! idk how to do a FTC! lmao FUCK!

During the challenge, I fucked up SUPER hard, and I had heard Hesh was struggling too. This, combined with Sam telling me he wasnt super confident in the time he had achieved, made me SUPER worried because it really opened the door for Chloe to sneak in and clutch. However, we all hop on VC and Hesh, Chloe and I are ALL doing the challenge and we are ALL, like, 30 mins from timing out. So we all time out! and Sam wins by default! and we broke the season long twist! Aren't yall just overjoyed that you decided to cast us? I know we're makin the season so physically riveting by consistently collectively flopping at any challenge that requires minimal brainpower, so i hope its good to watch!

As for the vote, its gonna be a very solemn Chloe vote. After results, Hesh, Sam, Chloe and I (w Toby and Posie too) just decided to give Chloe the respect she deserves and just told her straight up that the three of us were going to F3 together and there is very likely nothing that can be done to turn back the tide. which was genuinely heartbreaking to the point where i almost teared up towards the end of my piece, its always super difficult to vote out people that you care about in games and its even worse to literally verbally tell them to their face when they're helpless to combat it. shit was rough. but alas, this is how the butter softens. She actually messaged me asking if i would go to tiebreaker for her about an hour ago (just saw it while writing this conf im not ghosting you im sorry!), so i do have to have that difficult conversation. the worst part is, were it sam and not hesh, i might actually have done it, because I actually feel like Sam is gonna beat me in FTC due to the fact that he wasnt as stonewalled for info and had much more freedom to have a social game with the people we were against. However, taking out Sam and throwing away my entire game argument of loyalty and yknow being the meatshield and being the big threat but still remaining loyal and whatnot is completely out the window and i dont really have an argument, so i prolly woulda just lost to chloe in that situation anyway. and I GUESS id rather sam win than Chloe just cause Sams been the homie for years but yknow i digress. Heres how I think the Jurys gonna vote:

Lex - Hesh

Lexi - Sam

Andrew - Zach

Joe - Sam

Isaiah - Sam

AJ - Sam

Brian - Zach

Isaac - Sam/Zach (leaning Sam)

Liam - Sam/Zach (leaning Zach)

Chloe - Zach

Which means, my actual prediction for this endgame is a 5-4-1 Sam win. Whoopsies. I mean, my hands were tied so theres really not much more I coulda done, but I mean if this is how its gonna end, this is how its gonna end and im proud of that. its been a grueling month and like 2 weeks and id really just like to power through to the end and be done with it now, but we got the final chapter to write, and a dog to butter with the title of sole survivor. Hopefully, the jury makes me the most buttered dog of the crowd. I really, really hope the Jury puts the butter on me puts the butter on the Zach butterzach the zach with the butter butterzach butterzach zach with the butter on him butter butterzach

Freal tho this game has given me every emotion ive ever felt in orgs, the entire spectrum of some of my favorite moments of my entire career, as well as possibly one of the darkest times ive had in a game. I think its a good one to close out on. Im not gonna announce a complete retirement from these things, because nobody ever sticks to that. But I do think ill be gone for at least a while after this. It reminded me how draining and, really, how much ORGs feel like a nonstop, 24 hour paranoia filled job that can really fuck you up. im gettin old, man. i dont have the time for these things that i used to, and even the days that i do, emotionally it just doesnt feel good to lie to my friends and get into scuffles w em and, really, use real people for my own egotistical benefit. its probably very unhealthy, so im really hoping i can get my 2nd ever crown to top of my career for the foreseeable future. Lets hope my hard work amounted to something this time

au revoir

Day 39
"andante"

- i know ive been a lazy fuck and havent done shit confessional wise.... but i just wanna make a final one and say im so fucking glad i decided to play this org. it consisted of my fave alliance ive ever been apart of, and we all managed to lie and play our ways all the way to the end together, all with a true fighting chance at winning this game. literally all 3 of us deserve to win this season, talk about a fucking behemoth of a f3. nothing but love for the #Bromigos, yall are the fucking best and made this org so enjoyable. but in the end, i hope i can come out on top, and win this shit

"andante"

- WE DID IT BROMIGOS MAKES IT TO THE END. WHAT A DOMINANT GAME. FROM START TO FINISH. GENUINELY LOVE THE BOYS. WE JUST HAD OUR FINAL 3 VC WITH DRINKS AND I COULDN'T BE HAPPIER. ON TO MY SPEECH!
