I thought Guero has the second idol also for awhile

[rl231]

I didn't know that Element had the idol, but I kinda figured that T-Swizz had the second idol, which is why I wanted him out . And mess at everyone saying me being part of Rider's alliance was my downfall when it was mainly mine and prezli's alliance since the beginning

@ T-Swizz giving it to IVORY. Why, Swizz?

Earlier that day, Element told me that Golden told him that their votes were going to be for me. But a few hours later, Element said that Golden had informed him that the vote was going to be for Ivory instead. I thought that was really odd and weird. Why would they suddenly change their votes? And even more so, to someone who they were working with? At the time, I thought it was Golden's idea to lure us into voting for Ivory. who had the Immunity Idol and therefore negate our votes and then get me out. So I brought it to Element's attention and he agreed that it was rather odd, so we both decided to vote for Golden since we thought it was his idea. But then the results were revealed, and Element confronted Swizz about it and he admitted that it was in fact his idea.

His plan was to give the Immunity Idol l to Ivory. since he was safe for that round anyway and it was the last chance to use an Immunity Idol. From there it was to get me, Element and Golden to vote for Ivory so that our votes wouldn't count, meaning their two votes for Element would have gotten Element eliminated.

Awesome interviews! This was a great read, and I think all three of us really did an amazing job. Congratulations once again to Guero and T-Swizz, and good luck to the jury with your decision! I can't believe this game is coming to an end

22 hours to vote hunties and ****ies.

Well, you have to understand, I was unaware at the time that the idol would be null & void after the top 5 & I had initially kept it to guarantee myself a spot in the top 3. So after I read that it would be gone in a matter of days I quickly ran through multiple scenarios in my head to see which option would be best for me and my game.

Should I just keep it to myself and make it seem like I never acquired it? Should I give it to someone else? Should I throw the competition and use it for myself?

I ultimately decided, after I received first place in the round, that it would be best for my game to orchestrate a backdoor plan against Element, who was essentially the biggest threat, challenge wise, at the time (& could possibly earn the idol over me in the semi-final). Ivory & Guero were the closest to me at the time because I knew both of them never lied to me at this point, but I knew Guero had a strong bond with Element as well, & getting him to turn on Element, no matter how much evidence I had to prove that Element was working with the other side, would be useless. Golden was also one of my closest allies, but after he neglected to inform me about the vote against Element, I felt that our relationship, game-wise, was in a shaky place & I wasn't sure if he would inform Element about my plans. So I told the three remaining castaways (Element, Golden, & Guero) to all vote for Ivory in an attempt to eliminate Element. Although Golden might have been a great target as well, since he had stellar scores throughout the competition, he never directly lied to me about anything, so getting rid of him would have weighed on my conscious.

T-Swizz didnt answer my last question to ha.

I'm not sure why it didn't go through, but I'll answer it once more. The question was:
"Congratulations for proving to us that it is possible that frontrunners in the game can still close the game with a bang! I'm blown away by that thought tbh. My question for you is, in the middle of the game, your star kinda faded a bit in terms of entry submissions imo, Did you really planned on doing it? Is it a strategy to keep yourself out from the radar or it is just plain coincidence that your entries got overshadowed by emerging castaways of the game? Did you really enjoy playing this game? Please enlighten me."

Well, the first thing I do when I participate in a tournament is study up on previous seasons and use the top players from the seasons before me as a template for my gameplay. So for example, in Les ATRLer Season 3, I would constantly go back to season 2 to check how Rider would execute certain challenges and try to mimic his approach, but somehow add my own individuality into it. With this game it was a bit difficult to emulate the social aspect, as the stark difference between this season and the previous one wouldn't allow for it. But challenge-wise, I felt the biggest inspiration from prezli and Yvess. I knew that staying in the top half of the charts would keep me on everyones minds and help establish me as a force, where as I didn't want to do too well or else I would've been a threat since day one post-merge. So it was extremely difficult trying to balance the two, & the process required throwing some challenges but in return I worked twice as hard on developing and solidifying relationships & worked just as hard on my entries so that no one suspected a thing. It required a lot of effort but it was worth it, I was never targeted until it was too late, (where my inspiration from you came from) I knew that I wanted to win the final challenge for sure, but I was still contemplating on whether or not I should go for the two immunity idols before then and I wasn't sure if I would even win the second to last immunity, which is why it became so difficult for me. I wasn't working with any definites; it was around that time that I looked a bit further into your placement last season & I realized that the only two idols that you won were the final two and I thought that would be the perfect plan. However I was working with a big "if" I could only advance to the finale if I won the last two immunity challenges in a row without making it seem like I had something up my sleeve. I tried to minimize that "if" by orchestrating Element's elimination, the biggest threat to my immunity idol, but it didn't go as planned. So I put down my social gameplay for a while and worked 24/7 on my entry, constantly thinking of ways I could blow the judges' mind so that they would be left with no other choice but to hand me the immunity idol on a silver platter.

Although I may not have talked with every single person in this tournament, I was loyal to every single person that showed me honesty & loyalty. I tried my absolute best throughout this competition and I hope the jury sees how much I want this.

[T-Swizz]

There are still many aspects of my social gameplay that I left out but that's only because I genuinely think it would occupy this entire page.

The main component of my social gameplay that I left out was the advantage I had over the other side of the house, I had 2 extremely loyal allies, Sebas & Ivory, relay information to me about how the other side was voting and which members we could influence. That was a huge factor in how my alliance took over the game and ended up on top throughout the rest of the game.

wesleywalrus - We were aligned together, but I didn't trust him for multiple reasons after the tribes swapped. This resulted in my tying the vote, and sending him home, even though he thought we were still supposed to be allies.

What kind of busted ass ********. Whenever we had a vote I went to YOU and asked what YOU wanted because I trusted YOU more then anyone else in our alliance. I voted however YOU wanted! YOU were the one who wanted an alliance with me, but then YOU break it up because you thought I was too close to another member of OUR alliance? Ultimately that decision got Guero to Top 3 because we were both the last people on Redemption Island. And if he wins, that backfires on YOU.

And I'm not saying I don't disrespect that decision because it was a good game move to get out the biggest threat you had, so you thought. Just don't go lying to everyone when I always asked what you wanted, and you giving me ******** answers like "..oh I don't know, what you were you thinking?" to milk information out of me. You weren't slick!

Best of luck to the Top 3. You definitely deserve it after dealing with this **** for months.

5 votes.

We'll probably only have 9 votes due to a certain flop jury member that disappears randomly a la his fave.

I genuinely did want to work with you in this game, and I thought we were going to be strong allies. However, when we got down to the top 15/16, you started to act differently, and I was worried about your new connection with M4L, which, on a tribe as small as it was, would be extremely dangerous. What might have happened if there were only the three of us left on that tribe (not knowing it would have dissolved), for example? These perceptions ultimately led to me to vote you out. In retrospect, it could have been better to vote out M4L instead, but I have to stand by my decision. And clearly, many others felt that way, as you received a bunch of votes at the subsequent tribal council. Nothing personal, wesley. You know I love you, but back when that happened, you just raised far too many red flags for me.

I enjoyed that read

Yeah. Rider didn't really have an alliance. He didn't know what and how to do. rl231 PMed him, and asked how he wants to vote, that's all. I talked to him twice during this game.

Seriously? Was it the best opinion? To give the Idol to the weakest contestant who was actually the biggest bitch in this game? K. On the other hand, I think I understand your decision. When we were in the Top 4 in S4, I almost had the immunity, but Yvess got higher score with 0.2. He was like: "I wish I could give my immunity to you." I could trust Yvess because he played a fair game. Ivory.'s lies were totally unnecessary. So, did he deserve that Idol? No! Did you deserve it? Yes! Why? Because you worked hard to get that Idol. I know Ivory. was close to you, but don't tell me that you felt safe on Ivory. side because I'll be ing.
