Cannibalize the Pinks/Confessionals

Day 10
"wanani"

- "Wow I have not made one of these in a long time, where did I leave off???? So right before the tribe swap I was feeling confident. Dani and I had a close bond. She told me she cracked the code for the idol, which was a huge sign of trust. Even thought I know it had already been found, I was glad that she trusted me to reveal that she was planning on obtaining the idol. Mihai and I have always been boys and it will stay that way. I am confident that we have each other's backs. Augusto and I are very close as well. I am the only one to know about his idol, so I think he trusts me in this game. Tobi and I realized that in our similar positions in the game, we needed to look out for one another. And then there was Pory. Pory was definitely the next to go because he seemed very distant and not trying to recreate bonds after the Brian vote. He still talks at people, which I fucking hate. So I am positioned extremely well on pink, but then BOOM SWAP. This was potentially the worst swap I could have gotten: 4 yellows, 1 blue, 3 pinks (with one of whom being Pory). I WANTED AUGUSTO TO GIVE ME THE IDOL, but alas he did not. So let's go through each of my next tribe mates. Grace- Grace and I formed a quick connection and she has openly said that she wants to work with me. She knows she is positioned well right now in this game with 4 yellows being in the majority, but if she thinks that I can be used for a number down the road for her then that is a safe position for me to be in right now. Andrea- Andrea is not as active, but she is very sweet. I do not think that either one of us has intentions to vote the other one out. Alex- I had a giant bridge to mend. We used to hate each other, but in this game I need to convince him that he needs me. I am approaching him with the idea of setting our differences aside because he needs a person like me in this game, someone who is smart. Aro- Who? The dude rarely talks and I can see why he was the next to go for yellows. Pory- Needs to take a chill pill. He is CONVINCED he has Aro, but spoilers HE DOES NOT. Aro went right to Alex and Grace to tell them that Pory wants him to work with yellows. That is bad for me because it gives Grace and Alex the idea that I am pink strong. He is also throwing out my name, allegedly, because I might have the idol. The dude needs a chill pill. Tobi- Nothing further to add, love this kid. Drew- I do not know why he trusts me so much to reveal how calculated and strategic he is. When we spoke about what we thought the other tribe might do and our position in the game, he showed how aware and perceptive he is. Right now, I can use that to my advantage to gain better insight in the game, but this is not someone I want to go far with. I AM PRAYING THAT MY TRIBE WINS IMMUNITY. If not, we either have to cannibalize on the pinks (hopefully Pory) or go to rocks (which Tobi would never do). With blue turning on one another the last tribal, I hope this allows yellows to understand that this game is not defined by original tribal lines. From what I saw, it did not seem to be a smart move because they do not know how our tribe is playing the game (either sticking with tribal lines or reshaping the boundaries). I am just glad that Mihai and Dani are safe. So here's what has been going on with me and I will probably make another confessional in like a week! "

"ouani"

- The rest of my time on Exile Island was lackluster huh…. But that downtime recharged me with the energy needed for this next stage of the game, a sis is READY! If I walk into a bloodbath, let’s just say I got napkins to clean the blood off for ya and we can form a kumbaya circle that features me not getting voted out pls xoxo but yeah, I’m lowkey terrified highkey excited for this next stage of the game! OG Wanani was amazing for me and this will only give me more of a chance to form tight bonds and get one step closer to getting a second crown <3

"ouani"

- So I step onto the Ouani mat when I get back from Exile and see that I’ve replaced Loren of all people… which left me pretty shook? I expected Moya to take advantage of their numbers in the swap but guess not! Maybe it’s a sign that the swap won’t be based on tribal lines (unlike the swap in Byzantium which only had the tribal lines to focus on) which is kinda reassuring to hear! Seeing Dani and Mihai still here is awesome as well <3 Now it’s a 3-3-2 split in terms of tribes here and that evens the playing field quite a bit! It’ll be interesting for sure :D

"ouani"

- Walking into this tribe seems so weird because I feel like I missed a lot? Right now, I’m the new kid in school; I know nothing really and everyone else knows each other. While that can be a bit… discouraging, being the new kid on the block means everyone wants to make a good impression on me in hopes I join their “friend group” if that makes any sense (I'm bad with analogies ghfjds). Like so far, I have Joan messaging me and giving me the scoop on what went down last tribal (mess @Loren), Linus then later asked if I knew what happened so he had the intention of telling me but also later explained what went down from his perspective. What I found interesting was that Linus told me that Nathan and himself wanted to split away from tribal lines while Lex wanted to stick to them initially but they talked him out of it. This does tell me that Linus/Nathan might be a bit close (or maybe I’m reading into it too much ghfjd) but I’ll keep my eye out for that for sure.

"ouani"

- Mihai was SUPER happy to see me with him and the feeling is mutual like that’s my amigo <3 Honestly, I’m not the most honest with him (ie. the idol) but I really appreciate him in this game! He gave me ALL the tea that occured last round and I couldn’t thank him enough! Dani/Mihai/Joan/Zach all had a pact of sorts to try to get a Moya member to go (to be expected ofc) and then Mihai let Linus and Nathan know about it and reiterated the fact that he didn’t want to play by tribal lines. So basically what Mihai let me know is that himself and I could potentially be in the middle with Dani/Joan/Zach on one side and Linus/Nathan/Lex on the other. That’s like… iconic luv xx!! I’m not too sure how true this all is but it sounds pretty nice not gonna lie! If that is the case, I do have to try to lay low a bit because people can be crackedt nnnn but I did suggest to Mihai that if we went for an Ouani member that maybe we should go for Zach (who I’ve connected to least overall) since Dani is a shield for us (but I’m also in an alliance with her) and that Joan could be someone we could use further down the road. While I do think Linus/Nathan/Lex are a bit more threatening, getting rid of an Ouani member and keeping threats in the game never hurt anyone!

"ouani"

- Despite all that I just mentioned, I am afraid of a few things! If NuWanani loses, I can see one of my allies leaving and that’s not a cute look! With it being 4-3-1, I’m sure rocks could be discussed but not likely to happen so idk, Rob or Tobi leaving would be really bad for me. I’m also scared if Rob exposes my idol since I can’t really pass it over to him so if he or any Wanani leaves, he could tell people out of spite (even though I don’t expect him to do that bc he’s great, it’s just a worry). I also am scared of seeming like a threat during this swap since I’ve talked to everyone thus far and had great chats (and that’s super cute and fun ofc <3) but ehh, maybe I just caught a case of paranoia and am overthinking but yeah ghfjdsk

Day 11
"ouani"

- Me… being good at a challenge? I’m quaking with disbelief! I think that having a good score here is critical in keeping me here/in the loop since it seems the criteria for votes in the game have been mostly based on social standing and then last round it was challenge performance, so I just gotta mix both and it’ll result in me staying :D I think my talks with everyone have been pretty amazing/deep? Like, Lex and I had a rocky start since I’m the worst at making jokes ghfjd but then we talked about how we were like the same/twins which led to talk about Total Drama and whatnot, so that was cute! Joan and I talked about being bearded men but then also like masculinity and not talking to men a lot hgfjdks. Zach and I talked about music for a quick sec and then about how religion can be fucked up nnnn love that <3 Nathan and I talked about career and the homesickness which was actually really cute :D Linus and I talked about his job and whatnot, so ye! I think I’m making good first impressions but only time will tell!

"ouani"

- Not miss me trying to get another idol hjgfkdls, I did a guess and it ended up being X!X so yay for the luck, but I went and told this to Mihai to get more of his trust but also so we can find this thing together. While I am convinced that it’s been found already, having another idol would be MAJOR like 2 out of 3 idols… the power that has <3 I doubt I’ll find it but a good search never hurt anyone!!

"ouani"

- "hey hi howdy its zucc

So lets go back. idk if i mentioned it but lorens angels was formed between dani, nathan and i and we immediately broke our first promise of us f3 and loren f16 so thats an incredible sign! Genuinely i didnt wanna vote loren out. He was embarrassed after the phone call and also just got killed at the f4 of main org, and he ended up ghosting us all for almost two days, so there really was no other choice. I would have rather sent Lex home, but that just aint how the cookie crumbled. Which leaves us here, with lorens angels here to take flight and suck and fuck our way to victory! But onto the now so this round is sorta kinda chill? We got rid of loren and replaced him with Augusto, who is like seriously the biggest sweetheart in the world. Honestly with the energy he, Mihai and even Dani emit, The pink tribe must have been the most wholesome place to ever exist. They just have this childlike innocence and enthusiasm that I absolutely adore, so it'll be hard to take em out when the time comes (which honestly could be next time we lose, unless the numbers exist for Lex, but i dont really see Linus or Nathan agreeing to that.

This season for me has been such a 180 from Hallasan. Hallasan was fun, but once the swap happened I lost my footing and never gained it back (unless you count the f5 plan which was thwarted by idols). Additionally, this cast in general just seems a lot happier and upbeat to be here. In Halla, all the wholesome or younger players got sent home really early (Max, Miles, Bronson, Louise to an extent, Blake) and we were left with a f7 of ppl that were older, jaded, unhappy and projected a lot which made for a negative air around the endgame. I cant predict the future and say this wont happen here, but I would be genuinely shocked to see that. Everyone ive encountered is happy to be here and i live for it.

Continuing on, I got a new alliance im gonna go make the chat for in a sec. It consists of Linus, Dani, Joan and myself, and Linus and I are gonna have nathan as a satelite. But like, so are Dani and I. Did Dani and I just stumble ass backwards into the power position on this tribe? idk. but honestly i can see this group falling into two duos - Linus and I and Dani and Joan. I did some stalking and like, Dani has commented on every single one of Joans pfps for over a year. Thats a long relationship that im keepin my eye on. He also told Dani about the idol being gone before we even did, so hes deffo closer to she than I. Im gonna prob tell Linus the idol is gone in a second, just to try to pair w him (Nathan knows too) cause at this rate, Im gonna need him. I'm p much set til merge, but once that time comes, at this rate im putting myself in a position to make, like, 6th place at best. So im gonna craft something with Linus, and I might even pull some strings to get something with Augusto or Mihai. I do wanna go for Lex if we lose again cause he clearly doesnt wanna work w me and hes the only person here that I dont think Im gonna be able to win over. I just hope Linus and Nathan would do that. Tribal lines are over as far as i see them, but some people still hold onto that shit, i never understood it tbh.

I dont have much else to say but ye there u go. buh bye"

"ouani"

- Wooooo! Sorry this is gonna be a boring CF but I just wanna say I love winning challenges and just having a day to build my social game so far and in the words of Chrissy Hofbeck, it really feels like “I’m dominating the social game” right now. But the time for scheming will come soon enough, for now, it’s time for me to eat, drink, get dick, and be merry.

"ouani"

- Actually there is one other thing: I feel so worried for Drew. As sad as Loren’s boot was, I hoped for a small silver lining that it would make NuWanani not view Moya as a tight unit and that they wouldn’t boot Drew right away. If he does and we booted Loren for no good real reason, welp...I would definitely have some egg on my face first of all. In addition to that I’m scared that it would signal to our tribe, Ouani, to start fucking us up as we’re easy targets now. I have my fingers tightly crossed that I’m overthinking though and that things don’t go to shit this fast (especially since I’m so fucking close to my 100th day and the merge might follow soon after that dsfdsfsd).

"wanani"

- This tribal is fucking nervewracking yo. First Pory throws out Rob's name, then Andrea's and now he seems to settle on mine. Rob seems to be with us, and I have the OG Ouani on my side so hopefully I should be ok? But I'm 99% sure the Wanani idol is gone and if Pory has it Or if Rob/Tobi plays it for Pory I'm FUCKED. Fuck this tribal to hell ugh

"wanani"

- Voting be like more stressful than it should be

"wanani"

- ANNIHILATION DAY 11

"ouani"

- "This week went by so perfectly. Loren went home after ghosting us all, so bye bih!!! U cant just throw in the towel after fucking up once... like dude legit wyd. It was kinda shocking just ti see him... ghost us th way he did. I feel almost bad bc i think he was just really embarassed

On another note, ive solidifyed 2 alliances on this tribe!! Me, zach, and nathan, and another with me, zach, linus, and ratruki. I trust them all decently, with my most trust in Pigruki tbqh. Shocking, right,,,?"

"ouani"

- "First and foremost, sorry for not making confessionals for the last couple of days, tribal was insane and I was away from home for most of that time, and then during the challenge I was pretty busy and ended up spending most of my online time trying to get a better score that ended up being CLUTCH for the win. The Loren tribal went just as planned, and whilst I was very nervous because I did SHIT on the bootlist live challenge, Loren really dug his own grave and Dani kept me save. I feel that my connection with Dani really aided me, as she seems to have taken me under her wing, which is nice but I don't like it longterm because I am my own man and player in this game, and she clearly seems to be closer to Linus and Nathan, and I ain't playing for fourth. In being pretty open when talking with her (it helps that the only person from my OG tribe in this tribe is Zach, who was not too involved in the idol cluster fuck). I am lying about not having the idol to her and Linus, and have pinned suspiscion on Vivor, who Dani dislikes a great deal.

That brings me to my next point, I am fucked long term in this game. Yes, Zach dragged me into an alliance with Dani and Linus, which I am good with, but I still know that the people really calling the shots in this tribe are Dani, Linus and Nathan. Depending of how poorly things go I can realistically only survive one or two more tribals in this tribe by pushing Mihai and Lex in front of the proverbial bus, maybe three if I undermine Zach a bit. But truth is, I am living at Dani's and Linus' mercy, who are clearly on the same page 24/7, at least with Andrea, Vivor and Grace I had a little bit more fluidity, but I know for sure that here I don't have the same fluidity. I'd like to keep Mihai in the game because I feel that he truly is a great asset to my game, and I can see him and Augusto being pretty relevant allies of mine in the future, that is if I can unsynch Augusto from Dani's wavelength. Come merge I am going to be screwed because Dani and Nathan are going to want Grace and Vivor gone, and pretty sure it will be vice versa, and I will be the flip vote. I think that it might be possible for me to get them to take each other out, potentially twisting my idol knowledge to force split votes that give Vivor the upper hand at first before taking him and Grace out. I haven't even made merge but I know that I am in THAT spot, and I just don't want to be shocked or surprised if it does come to that, but rn I gotta make merge since I think I can only maybe save Mihai from one more tribal before it starts rubbing Dani the wrong way.

Hopefully I can make more confessionals tomorrow onwards, but things are certainly a bit slower and set in stone in this tribe so together with me being slightly busy (also the idol madness in OG Ouani was CRACKED we don't have that here). I've been taking notes on all the other players again and updated my little journal, so right now whilst things might seem a bit arbitrary I am getting ready to eventually pop off."
