Hello, hello everyone!

Chapter Three is finally here! :D

This chapter was really fun to write, >!a full-on idol chase across the ruins that lasts an entire morning. Federico found it, Ribbon stole it, or vice-versa? Shannon had to step in to settle the dispute. Also, Aurora found the mystery box key while everyone else was distracted. Let's just say... she's not sharing what's inside.!<

Read the chapter "Seeing Isn’t Finding" here

I guess these are the chapter highlights

I'd love to hear everyone's thoughts!

• >!Who do you think should own the idol, Federico or Ribbon?!<
• >!Marcola's blindside: did Christine make the right move, or was it too early?!<
• >!Ziggy looked completely lost at Tribal. Is he the next boot?!<
• >!Now that Marcola's gone, who's the biggest threat on Other Tribe?!<
• >!And who's the next to go home if That Tribe loses?!<

As I'm trying to write more on the flow than following a more classic Survivor edit, this cast continues to surprise me. Every time I think I know where the dynamics are heading, someone does something unexpected. Let's just say Chapter Four is going to be another mess.

Let me know your predictions and hot takes!

In this season

18 contestants

battle out

but with a twist

BLOOD TRIBE

https://preview.redd.it/sna0hfwt4d2h1.jpg?width=1121&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=f202ee6a8aab3c90f3efaa57e488db867a4ad53c

Trick-Trick is an impidimp who never wanted to evolve, seeing it as pointless as he was perfect the way he was. However, his friend and childhood crush, who he was competing with for this season, had evolved, which made him feel self conscious about himself, yet he agreed to stay friends with her. He wants to win to show that he doesn’t need to evolve to be strong

Brutus-Brutus Vexley was born into one of the richest psychic-type families in the region, expected to eventually inherit the family empire alongside his younger brother. Instead, he became the family's greatest embarrassment. Violent, rebellious, and impossible to control, Brutus spent his youth getting expelled from elite schools and fighting anyone he thought abused their power.

Kairi-Two twin Ralts were born in a hoenn during a meteor shower, they were named Kairi(Female) and Ravi(Male) though different in personality they could sense each others emotions. The night they were born disaster struck Ravi was abducted by poachers and was separated from Kairi. Kairi was left in hoenn and grew up to be a beautiful mega gardevoir adopted by a royal family in Kalos meanwhile Ravi was trained to be fighter and become a mega gallade that is a skilled warrior in Sinnoh. Years later the two have been finally reunited drawn separately by another meteor shower in hoenn

Xerxes-Xerxes grew up with his Aunt in Galar. He's always had a fascination with history and nature and science so he became a museum curator. Recently he was offered a much better job in Unova so he's been on his way out but he though doing this show with his cousin would be a fun thing before he moved away.

Chicory-Chicory was a popular and doted on Shiny Eevee growing up in a forest clan of Eeveelutions, with a close bond with the more shy and reserved Lily, always standing up for her when she could. However, her hidden romantic feelings for her friend eventually triggered her evolution into a Sylveon, and forced her to leave the clan out of fear. She eventually settled down in Lumiose City, running a small bakery and pastry shop, but she always regretted abandoning Lily. Luckily for her, Lily found her way to Lumiose a few years later and reunited. The two now run a 24-hour cafe together, and are celebrating 1 year of marriage.

Tony-Tony was married to his wife Barb who he was childhood sweethearts with, and they planned to have children together once they were in a financially stable position. One day his wife came down with an illness and a few weeks later she passed away leaving Tony with what felt like nothing. Even working a hard low paying corporate job, he wanted to see through his wish to have a family and so adopted Mirabelle having a hard time juggling looking after her and working long hours. He didn't have a lot of money but tried to take care of her best he could being a rough and tumble nose to the grindstone type of guy no matter the adversities he faced. Mirabelle suggested they go on this show together so they could spend time together, he could get a break from his job, and they could sort of go on their very first vacation together having a story to tell once it was over.

Oliver-Oliver is as raised in an orphanage with his twin brother Ovander, they never knew their parents but had each other, Oliver was more the popular friendly guy, but no matter how popular he became he always made sure to make sure his brother never felt alone or uncomfortable, but their were times where Oliver let his emotions get the better of him. Also growing up Oliver took pride in helping others, now both him and his brother live together and while Oliver help train people Ovander runs an amazing business helping homeless Pokémon, both of their jobs are in the same building since it revolves around helping others.

Jazz-She grew up in a forest with her twin sister, Miley. They had to fend for themselves because they were abandoned as children. They are very close and have very good instincts because of this. Jazz is the more sociable and outgoing sister

Fiki-It thrives in total darkness, completely invisible to the human eye. If you are walking alone at night and suddenly feel like you are being watched, Fiki is likely inches away from you,he loves to remember grim facts that you may not know for yourself

WATER TRIBE:

https://preview.redd.it/hn37x18x5d2h1.jpg?width=999&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=ecd6d41e3092dee55b2846ba8bcc1b0fb4c91112

Elphalia-Elphalia as a child was an absolute ball of shyness, always hiding to herself until she met trick, and the 2 became good friends. However, as she evolved into a hattrem and then into a Hatterene, she saw that Trick didn’t want to evolve, saying he was perfect. She still remained friends with him, caring for him too much. She wants to win the show to afford collage.

Lucien-Lucien Vexley always dreamed of becoming an artist instead of inheriting the Vexley family business empire. He studied painting, theater, and musical performance, desperately trying to prove he could survive through talent alone. The problem was that every opportunity he received came from the Vexley name.

Ravi-Two twin Ralts were born in a hoenn during a meteor shower, they were named Kairi(Female) and Ravi(Male) though different in personality they could sense each others emotions. The night they were born disaster struck Ravi was abducted by poachers and was separated from Kairi. Kairi was left in hoenn and grew up to be a beautiful mega gardevoir adopted by a royal family in Kalos meanwhile Ravi was trained to be fighter and become a mega gallade that is a skilled warrior in Sinnoh. Years later the two have been finally reunited drawn separately by another meteor shower in hoenn

Arthur-Arthur grew up with a lot of support systems, a lot of friends, he was always well-liked in school, but something in him just wanted to cause chaos. When Xerxes reached out to him about applying for this show, he knew this was his chance to have some fun.

Lily-Lily was a quiet Eevee raised among a forest Eeveelution clan, struggling to befriend any of her peers. Fortunately for her, her friend Chicory took her under her wing and slowly helped her grow her self-confidence. This growth came to an end when Chicory disappeared one day, leaving Lily alone and shattered. Over the years, she failed to properly adjust to clan living, lashed out at others under pressure, and endured a painful failed marriage until she was formally exiled from the forest. She wandered all the way to Lumiose City, and by blind luck ended up in a bakery run by the friend she had lost so long ago. After a furious breakdown, Lily reconciled with Chicory, and the latter offered her a job in the shop in order to help her get back on her feet. This short-term offer would blossom into a lifetime commitment, and Lily would assert there is nowhere else in the world she'd rather be than with Chicory.

Mirabelle-Mirabelle was a caterpie in a foster home when her dad Tony adopted her teaching her everything he could whenever he got the chance to do so. As she grew up, she didn't care that they didn't have much money and instead really loved and respected her dad seeing how much work he put in to take care of her. Seeing as her dad was at work so much, she had to be independent and take care of herself a lot being very mature for age with what she knew and how she acted. As she was in college and would be moving away soon, she didn't want to grow apart from her father and wanted to give him a break from all the hard work he puts in. She saw this show and thought it would be perfect because she wanted to win the money to give to her dad as a thanks for always taking care of her and feeling like she was finally able to give something back to him.

Ovander-Ovander was raised in an orphanage with his twin brother Oliver, both not knowing their parade but having each other. Ovander was never that open or friendly but his brother always made sure to include him in a lot of things which he did appreciate, and while he deeply loves his brother he believes he the more realistic arcanine, at least when it comes to reality. Ovander runs a business that help homeless Pokemon and their family’s and works with his brother who helps train others, both their businesses are in the same building.

Miley-She grew up in a forest with her twin sister, Jazz. They were abandoned as children so they had to fend for themselves. They have good instincts and are very resourceful because of this. Miley is the quieter sister.

Rudolf-Long before plastic and metal Poké Balls existed, ancient humans crafted Poké Balls out of hollowed-out Apricorn fruits and wood. Hisuian Voltorb naturally mirrored this exact appearance, sporting a glossy wood-grain texture and a small steam hole on its head

"I didn’t come here to win with her. I came here to beat her."

"In a game full of liars, he’s the only truth I’ve got."

"I'm not playing for one million dollars anymore; I'm playing for our million dollars."

"Blood is thicker than water, but a million dollars buys a lot of forgiveness."

In this season it only fits for an epic finality 5 and finale,this finale was maybe the best one and I loved how the season came.

Seeing so many people start commenting as the season went on was just so hearthwarming for me.

The writing style of mine has gone up and I will ensure it stays the same.

Some improvements i am going to try is sincei am a big survivor and big brother fan I can point each pokemon a survivor or big brother player which will make it easier when I am writing his or her motivation and character and story arc.

Was the outcome unexpected,was the season satisfying over all?

Also help me if you want for next season. What simulator should I use?

Hello everyone

Chapter Two is finally here! :D

I wanted to make sure this episode landed properly, especially after that first Tribal Council. This chapter dives deeper into the chaos at That Tribe (Aurora vs. Mira is getting spicy) while Other Tribe deals with their first real power struggle. Also, someone finally found an idol. And they're not being subtle about looking for it.

Read the chapter here

I didn't know who to put as highlight, so I made this collage

I'd love to hear everyone's thoughts!

• >!Were you surprised by the unanimous vote against Ernesto, or did he have it coming?!<
• >!Who's playing the best game so far on each tribe?!<
• >!Aurora vs. Mira, who's in the wrong?!<
• >!Sabrina found the idol while pretending to look for it. Genius or lucky?!<
• >!Predictions for next boot now that Ernesto's gone?!<

This cast continues to surprise me with every scene I write because the dynamics shift faster than I expected, and I'm genuinely not 100% sure how to build all the chaos coming in chapter three. Also I'm calling chapter instead of episode because I thought it would look nice.

Let me know all your predictions and hot takes below!

For season 43, we’re going into the heart of Africa to the country of Rwanda. Known for its apes, this country is renowned for its wildlife scene, along with its forests. A new group of 18 people will be headed to Rwanda, encountering wildlife and stunning nature. Who will take it all? 26 DAYS, 18 PEOPLE, 1… SURVIVOR!

RULES:

1. Do not request the same character multiple times
2. Try and give some sort of strength/skill that would separate this character from the rest. (Not submitting a strength will hurt your character’s chances!)
3. IMAGES ARE REQUIRED with your request, whether link or just pasted in a comment.
4. Only 2 contestants per person.
5. Contestants can be from any media or even from real life

That’s all for this season, good luck!

18/18 CASTED

For Season 42, we’re heading back to the United States, where a completely new location will be welcoming a group of 18 new players: Louisiana. Known for its unique Cajun culture and French influence, this is a land of a unique blend of European colonialism and its own unique identity. Deep in the heart of the state is the Atchafalaya River, and surrounding it: the Atchafalaya Basin. Preserved for very long, this long green stretch of nature is riddled with tall trees, swamps, and an abundance of mosquitoes, but that’s what it’ll take dealing with to survive. 26 DAYS, 18 PEOPLE, 1… SURVIVOR!

RULES:

1. Do not request the same character multiple times
2. Try and give some sort of strength/skill that would separate this character from the rest. (Not submitting a strength will hurt your character’s chances!)
3. IMAGES ARE REQUIRED with your request, whether link or just pasted in a comment.
4. Only 2 contestants per person.
5. Contestants can be from any media or even from real life

Now, that’s all I’ve got to say, good luck!

18/18 CASTED - I’m adding two picks of my own this season.

We are back again this season we will have 20 new characters(a season first. cough cough palau.) 4 tribes are back along with idols.

You can submit 2 characters at a time and give me a link to their images if they are a non-brantsteele character.

Men:10/10.

Women:10/10.

This season will also have a final 3 ftc instead of final 2 ftc,a first for the series.

For the first time it will be teams of 4 as we head into season 12.

The theme: Battle of the movie ratings: G, PG, PG13, and R

Just any characters from any of the genres. PG and PG13 kind of blur together a bit, so it's okay if we're a bit leant with it. Also I did put Walle and Misty since there wasn't room last time.

Rating G

Men: 0/2

Women: 2/2

Rating PG

Men: 2/2

Women: 2/2

Rating PG13

Men: 2/2

Women: 2/2

Rating R

Honestly, a pretty good opener to the New Era. It’s got a lot of what you’d expect from a New Era season, tied in with some pretty good moments and fun characters. A pretty good season in my eyes that definitely has some potential returnees.

HIGHLIGHTS:

>!With a New Era season comes a disaster tribe- this one being the Tinian tribe. Joe, Neek, Aubry, Amando, and Airazor are all taken out back to back from 17th to 13th, leaving Xavier as the last one standing- ala Stephenie.!<

>!However… this doesn’t last long. He goes out at 12th. This is very likely the EARLIEST an entire tribe has been DECIMATED. None of them made the merge… that’s really sad!<

>!With the ENTIRE Tinian tribe gone, it becomes a war between the Saipan and Chulu tribes… with one making up the entire final 3.!<

>!From the Merge, we see some characters emerge: Hwang, Yzma, Gallade, Jake, Scarlet, Khloe, and Eliza. Each of these had either entertainment or gameplay value in the game in my opinion.!<

>!Rattlesnake Jake is eliminated by Default after a revote couldn’t settle the debate.!<

>!Then, we have yet ANOTHER fun tribal where Eliza is idoled out by Yzma, saving her for another day, and probably giving us great reactions from Eliza!!<

>!Yzma’s safety didn’t last long… as she’s voted out promptly at the next tribal. !<

>!A lot of different people won immunity, which isn’t very normal!<

>!Going into the deep part of the game, Hwang had 2 strong duos, proving to be playing a great strategic and social game. !<

>!Khloe playing the best strategic game, calling a lot of shots!<

>!Gallade playing a good game, but not too strategic!<

>!Scarlet also playing a good game but not getting the jury’s respect, becoming the first New Era 0 vote finalist- since those are almost inevitable !<

>!Hwang battles against Khloe in fire, in which Hwang wins against his closest ally, creating for a heroic sendoff!<

>!The final vote ends in a 4-4 tie between Hwang and Gallade, where Scarlet has to choose… she chooses Hwang, making him the WINNER of Survivor 41: Mariana Islands - Dawn of a New Era!!<

POSSIBLE RETURNEES: >!Hwang, Gallade, Scarlet, Khloe, Yzma, Eliza, Jake, Xavier!<

It is insane how i managed to produce it in such a quick time. I am motivated because of all of you and the Madrid trip on Wednesday.

However this new batch of episodes are a really great introduction to the endgame,the finale will be with the f5 and I will run a fan vote whose winner gets 100k

also my country won eurovision so YAY

I think this was a good season! Every player really came to play, and there was a lot of good characters and strong gameplay. There's a lot players I can see coming back from another run, including a good amount of the pre-jurors

Season Write-Up

Optional if you want to read this. It's just a write-up of the season, episode to episodes. If you do read it, I recommend reading it as you go through each episode

Episode 1

>!The first 14 contestants arrive on the island ready to begin the new game. It isn't long they are joined by Domonic Toretto and Wendy Christenen, both who lost their chance to play on Season 10; both of them are eager to play. When the game is about to begin, the contestants are stopped. They then are greeted by two other players: Aladdin and Cher Horowitz. Both of them had their game cut just short on Season 9 for whatever reason, and they're back for another run. With that, the 18 contestants are divided into teams. On!<>!Nakum, right away Homera is already coming off as cold as the tribe is trying to get to know each other. Yaxha just focus on getting to know each other. Nakum with both immunity and reward.!<

>!On Nakum, Mr. Snake and Slade immediately click, believing the can be a dangerous pair, and Slade respecting Mr. Snake's villainous background. On Yaxha, Wendy ended up hurt during the challenge (she saw this coming), but she is okay to keep playing. Harold and Napoleon start forming a bond talking about their interest in drawing. With herself hurt, Wendy needs to push the vote on someone else, so they look past her injury. She notices how David is just relaxing and claims he isn't doing any work around camp, putting a target on him. Janice on the other hand feels like Ochaco is an easy vote. The hero is now in trouble. It comes down to the two names. It ends up being a close vote, but with Aladdin and Harold being the only ones to side with Janice, David is voted out. !<

18th place

>!David- David didn't really have much a chance to play, so it's hard to really assess his game. Although, he seemed to just be an easy target, and someone had to go home first.!<

Episode 2

>!With the first vote down, on Yaxha Napoleon and Harold now have a fairly good friendship. Janice is chill even though the vote didn't go her way. On Nakum, Slade and Mr. Snake still have their bond going, while on the other hand Cher is a bit offput by Homura's cold nature, and Homura finds her to just be a dense valley girl. Others also find Homura to be cold (Edna). While others are haven't warmed up to Harold's playful nature. Nakum wins reward, but Yaxha wins immunity.!<

>! On Yaxha, Napoleon gets annoyed with Aladdin making comments about him trying to be the "cool guy". Despite having a small argument about that, Aladdin goes to Ochaco to manage last nights vote. He apologizes for voting her and instead builds a friendship with her. He also clicks with the quieter Nagato, helping her open up a bit. During the challenge, Harold had injured himself when trying to mess around. Though on the brightside, Mr. Snake takes a liking to the kid. Cher takes notice of the pair of Slade and Mr. Snake, and she offers to work with them, creating a trio. For the vote, George wants out Homura as she has really been rubbing the tribe a certain way. Though, Ruby speaks to the tribe claiming they should vote off Domonic (he has a bit of this strong dominating presence). Once again, it's a close vote, but with Ruby swaying the trio of Cher, Slade, and Mr. Snake they are able to get Domonic out.!<

17th place

>!Domonic- Honestly it was dissapionting to see Dom go. He just came back to finally play the game, just for him to have a short run. I personally would like to see him get a third chance, but we'll see.!<

Episode 3

>!Coming back to camp, Cher, Mr. Snake, and Slade are happy to have successfully played off a vote at their first tribal. George is now better like on the tribe, but people like Slade still find him annoying. Despite staying, Homura is still no trusted by many members of her tribe. On Yaxha, Aladdin has well charmed Ochaco and Nagato. Harold has made fairly good friends out of Wendy and Napoleon. Letty and Janice had gotten close as well. Napolean still doesn't like Aladdin. Yaxha wins reward, but Nakum wins immunity.!<

>!On Nakum, Mr. Snake begins smooth talking his tribemates, causing him to be well liked. Slade though gets pissed with all the kumbaya and snaps a bit. Cher is quick to call him out for his behavior causing a bit of an argument. On Yaxha, Letty is heated, absolutely pissed to see her man, Dom, was voted out. Being in a bad mood, she snaps at Aladdin when he claims the team should keep their head up. Napoleon makes a comment under his breath, and Letty begins arguing with him. While this is happening, Wendy and Nagato begin to get closer. This leads to Aladdin, Ochaco, Nagato, and Wendy coming together to make a 4 person alliance. Nagato suggests they just take out Letty due to her snapping at people. Aladdin though suggest they take out Napoleon first. Though the group come to agreement that Letty is more of a problem. At tribal, everyone votes out Letty.!<

16th place

>!Letty- Letty followed her husband, Dom, right the way home. I think her getting upset and fighting with people made her an easy target. Which led to her going home both fast and furious. !<

Episode 4

>!Coming into episode 4, the two tribes are brought out onto the beach. They're told to drop their buffs! It's time for a tribe switch..although, the way the tribes are picked will be interesting. The tribes have to vote on categories. The tribes are asked who on the tribe need the most nourishment. Nakum vote SpongeBob, believing for all that energy he needs some fuel. Yaxham vote Aladdin...cause well..street rat. They both get an apple. The tribes then vote who are the smelliest, Nakum vote Cher (she is appalled and massively offended), and then Aladdin, the acclaimed street rat, is selected once again. Cher is happy though to see she gets water and a toothbrush, perfect for freshening up. The tribes then select two members each to receive a picnic trip. Harold and Homura are picked for Nakum, while Nagato and Ochaco are selected for Yaxham. The tribes are then asked who has the most team spirit. SpongeBob is undoubtedly the easiest pick for his tribe, while Janice is selected for Yaxhum. The remaining members of Yaxhum (Aladdin, Harold, Napoleon, and Wendy) are switched to the other team, and Cher ends up drawing a coin to remain with them on her team. Edna, Mr. Snake, Ruby, and Slade are switched to the other team.!<

>!On New Nakum, Aladdin and Wendy are glad that they are still together. Though, Aladdin is also happy to reunite with Cher. Though the biggest reunion and meet-up is between the best friends, George and Harold. As soon as they reached the camp, they were inseparable. Harold is also glad that Napoleon is there, but Aladdin isn't. Homura and Cher also aren't happy to see each other. On Yaxha, Slade and Mr. Snake feel good that they are still together. Though, there is a growing rivalry between Edna and Slade. Ochaco and Nagato are glad to be together, but they aren't happy to see Janice and don't trust her (this related all the way back to when Janice threw out Ochaco's name at the first tribal). Yaxha win immunity. On Nakum, George and SpongeBob really bond as they goof around camp. Napoleon finds Homura weird, and this causes the two to get into a tiff. With all going on Aladdin ceases the opportunity to form an alliance with the Underpants duo, and George pulls in SpongeBob as their fourth. Wendy comes to Aladdin, reasoning they should vote out George. She also tells Napoleon...which ends up being bad; Napoleon tells Harold, and Harold tells George. Napoleon, suggest they blindside Wendy. Wendy is set to go home, BUT out of nowhere Mr. Snake gets increasingly piss with his tribemates. His temper gets the best of him and he leaves the game, before he does something he'd regret.!<

15th Place

>!Mr. Snake- This was a shock for me. It was also sad to see Mr. Snake go, considering he was playing a pretty solid game. His duo with Slade was also cool to see. !<

Episode 5

>!Yaxha comes back to camp, completely stunned by Mr. Snake's exit. Slade is the most frustrated, but he knows he has to reframe his game now. Though, he still has his rivalry with Edna, who finds him to be an A-hole. Ochaco and Nagato both still don't trust Janice still. Ruby is making sure to stay out of the drama, creating quite bonds with Slade. On Nakum, Aladdin is glad the vote didn't happen as he still has his alliance with Wendy, while also being in the SpongeBob, Harold, and George alliance. Aladdin had also warned Wendy about how close she was to going home, although with her perminition powers Wendy already had a feeling. The Underpants duo is close with SpongeBob, specifically George mostly. Cher also had become close with George. Nakum wins immunity and reward.!<

>!Returning toe Nakum camp, SpongeBob makes friends with Napoleon, while Harold goes to bond with Homura, finally giving her a friend. Cher decides to make more connections, so she aligns with George and SpongeBob as they're a noticeable pair. With Yakha heading to elimination, Janice's calm nature is relaxing and pleasing to the tribe, while Slade knows he needs to make connections after Mr. Snake left, so he begins trying to appeal to his tribemates. This works with Ochaco, as he lies about being a reformed villain. Nagato suggest to Ochaco that they finally get out Janice. Though the other pitch is Ochaco made by Edna who wants to target someone from the other side. The tribal ends up being a tie. After a deadlock, things go to ricks. Ruby is rocked out.!<

14th place

>!Ruby- Poor Ruby. Ruby was definitely playing a fairly good game, not really angering anyone and well under the radar. She definitely had potential for a good game, but then again, it's hard to say how far she would have gotten.!<

Episode 6

>!On Yaxha, Slade now has now built a close relationship with Ochaco. Ochaco and Nagato are still tight, and the two are still not fond of Janice. Janice and Edna have become close now. Slade and Edna still have their ongoing rivalry. On Nakum, Aladdin has his alliance with Wendy, then the alliance with SpongeBob, and the Underpants duo. Cher had also secured an alliance with George and SpongeBob. This makes SpongeBob and George in a good spot. Harold is the only one that likes Homura. Both tribes are told they are going to tribal. Nakum wins immunity. One person has to win immunity, and SpongeBob wins immunity. At their camp, George and Harold hangout as usual. Cher uses the time to bond with SpongeBob. George and Aladdin the argue if they can trust Wendy or not. Hoping to get the target off her back, Homura pushes the only other target being Napoleon. Napoleon knows Homura is disliked and pushes for her to go. Aladdin and Wendy want Homura out, but the others side with getting Napoleon out, even Cher who thinks Homura staying keeps her as a threat.!<

>!On Yaxha, Slade keeps up his charm act, though Edna calls him out for being fake which leads to a big fight. Edna in return, tries to build up her own connections. Slade wants Edna gone, pitching to Ochaco and Nagato. Though the two of them still want Janice out. Edna is able to go to Janice, stating they should take out Nagato. At tribal, Janice and Edna vote Nagato, Ochaco and Nagato vote Janice, and Slade still goes throw with his plan to vote Edna. On a revote, Slade changes his vote to Janice.!<

13th and 12th place

>!Napoleon- I really liked Napoleon as a character. He really did give off that nerdy, socially awkward vibe shown by his social game- or lack thereof. It really came down to him or Homura, both a bit of outsiders for different reasons.!<

>!Janice- Janice played an okay game. I think Ochaco and Nagato were just set on sending her home, and eventually her luck ran out.!<

Episode 7

>!On Yaxha, Ochaco and Nagato are satisfied now that Janice is gone. Slade and Edna still have their rivalry, though Slade has his connection with Ochaco. On Nakum, SpongeBob and George still are well aligned with their alliance with Harold and Aladdin, then with Cher. Aladdin has the four, and then Wendy. Other than Harold, Homura is still on the outs after surviving that close vote. Yaxha win both immunity and reward. !<

>!Edna does her best to try and build her relationships with her tribe, but she also had a small crashout due to her position in the game. On the other side of things, Ochaco and Nagato have become really close. On Yaxha, Aladdin and SpongeBob grow closer. George proposes they vote out Homura now that they got rid of Napoleon, and she's the easy next target. Homura pitches Wendy as a name. The tribe is set on Homura. Though at tribal, in a close 4-3 vote Wendy is voted off absolutely blindsided. It all came down to Cher, Cher saw the opportunity to take out Wendy and she persuaded George and SpongeBob that it was the better move.!<

11th place

>!Wendy- Wendy actually was playing a fairly good game. I think she had a good understanding of the game, but also people seemed to also look at her as suspicious or dangerous in a quieter way. This is why Cher used this moment to blindside her.!<

Episode 8- The Merge

>!With that we are at the final 10! The final 10 are glad to see they have secured their spot in the merge! Multiple alliances make the game more complicated, as some players reunite. Aladdin is happy to get back with Ochaco and Nagato. Cher is able to connect back with Slade, and Slade still has a good relationship with Ochaco. The Underpants duo, Aladdin, and SpongeBob still have their alliance, while Cher is still allied with George and SpongeBob. Homura's only good connection with George. Ochaco wins the first individual immunity challenge. !<

>!Even though elimination is coming up, SpongeBob is glad to make new friends. He hangs out with Ochaco, and then he has fun with George. Meanwhile, Edna gets annoyed with Harold when she catches him messing around with some of the camp equipment and scolds him. Edna then decides she rather just vote off George then have to put up with his antics. Though, the Underpants duo find Edna to be a buzzkill, and SpongeBob proposes they vote her off. Aladdin is on board and sells the plan to Ochaco and Nagato. Edna is voted off, with only Ochaco and Slade (ironically) voting with her.!<

10th place

>!Edna- I actually really loved Edna's game. It wasn't perfect, especially the social aspect, but she also seemed to at least know what she was doing. Though she never really could pick up numbers to push her ideas.!<

Episode 9

>!Following the first merge vote, no one is too effected as Edna didn't have very close ties with any of them. Only Ochaco was really fond of Edna. Her and Slade were on the wrong side; the two of them still have a good bond. The Underpants, SpongeBob, and Aladdin alliance are happy to have pulled the vote off. Cher who is with George and SpongeBob also feels good. Homura is just sticking with her one relationship with Harold. Ochaco wins reward, earning an idol clue, a new aspect in the game for the players. She also picks her two alliance members (Aladdin and Nagato) to earn food with her. Nagato goes on to win immunity.!<

>!At camp, Cher gets into a disagreement with Slade. She tells him the way he is playing the game is putting a target on his back. From there, Cher decides she shouldn't work with him anymore. She then goes to Homura, and argues that if she wants to stay in the game she needs numbers. Recognizing Harold and Homura as a pair, she creates an alliance with them. Aladdin also goes to bond further with Harold. Slade decides to try and get numbers on Homura's name, being able to pull in Ochaco, Nagato, and Aladdin. Though Aladdin and others hear another pitch from SpongeBob who is saying they should use the chance to vote out Slade. While hearing all these names, Cher finds that none of these options work for her: she rather blindside Ochaco. Though it ends up being a toss up between the names, the vote comes down to 3 Homura, 3 Ochaco, 2 votes Slade and 1 vote left. In perfect blindside fashion, Ochaco is voted out.!<

9th place

>!Ochaco- Ochaco was a really solid player! She was good at making social relationships, proved she was capable of winning comps, and was a level headed player...which is exactly why she was blindsided. It really loved her duo with Nagato, imagining the more upbeat Ochaco paired with the quieter and more logical Nagata.!<

Episode 10

>!The vote surprised many people, but Cher had successful pulled off the blindside getting George, SpongeBob, and Homura on board to pull off the move. Nagato is clearly not pleased to lose Ochaco, now only having her remaining alliance with Aladdin. Slade also is irritated about the vote considering Ochaco was one of his ties. The Underpants Duo, Aladdin, and SpongeBob alliance remain strong. Cher has also has well alligned herself with the duos of SpongeBob and George/ Harold and Homura. Aladdin and Cher still remain tight, but that's more on the down low. When the day starts, when everyone is just getting into the groove of things Slade takes the opportunity to sneak away. After some searching, he finds the idol. Slade now being the first person in the franchise to possess an idol. Cher, George, Homura, and Nagata win reward. Cher wins immunity.!<

>!Even though she won immunity, Cher severely injured herself during the course of the challenge. Cher though leaves her alliance with Homura and Harold, as she just needed that connection for the blindside. Harold and Nagato talk, with Nagato hoping to get some new numbers on her side. This though seemingly is too little too late, as everyone is set on voting out Nagato. Everyone but Aladdin, who is hoping he can flip the vote to Homura to save Nagato. Although all of this ends up being futile. Cher's injury is worse than she though, and after speaking with the medical team, she is removed from the game. !<

8th place

>!Cher- This probably was the most tragic elimination. Cher might just be the most robbed player in the franchise. She has never been normally voted out, taken out by fire in season 9, and now medical evacuated. Even more interesting she has yet to ever receive a vote against her in her whole two seasons. Hands down, Cher deserves to come back again. !<

Episode 11

>!The whole camp remorse seeing Cher go. Well almost everyone, Nagato is indifferent (she isn't very expressive to begin with). With Cher gone, the duos of Harold and Homura, and George and SpongeBob are just two. Harold arguably has the strongest relationships on the tribe, followed by SpongeBob. The Underpands duo, Aladdin, and SpongeBob trio remain strong. Slade is playing his own game, but lockingly he has the idol as his secret weapon. SpongeBob wins reward and shares it with George. Slade then goes on to win a needed immunity.!<

>!Coming back to camp, with safety, Slade takes the time to try and build his relationships. George is encouraged by Harold to try and connect with Homura. Slade wants to use this vote to blindside SpongeBob, and he pitches this to Nagato and Aladdin. SpongeBob though is already suggesting they vote off Nagato. Aladdin tries to argue to both groups that it is better to take out Homura. At tribal, SpongeBob, the Underpants duo, and Homura manage to vote off Nagato. !<

7th place

>!Nagato- I really liked Nagato's game. She was a smart, and savvy player. Like I said earlier, I really enjoyed her duo with Ochaco. I think her only issue was not making bigger social connections. She is a more quiet and reserved person, and more of an observer than a social player. Which is why I think Ochaco balanced her out as she did the social element, so when she left Nagato was making outside relationships a little too late.!<

Episode 12

>!It is now the final 6. Aladdin isn't the happiest after the elimination of Nagato, but he is now turns to his alliance with SpongeBob and the Underpants duo. Speaking of which, George and Harold are tight as always and ready to take it to the end. Though they do have side final twos, with SpongeBob and Homura respectively. Slade is on the outs, but he is more than prepared to use his idol. The final 6 arrive at the auction! George gets a mosquito nest and an advantage for the next immunity challenge. Slade is able to get a good amount of things, sharing a beef jerky with Harold, chocolate chips and cookies, and best of all a night out with a loved one which he shares with Aladdin and Homura. There he tries to pitch to the two of them to break up SpongeBob and the Underpants duo. He can't tell if it went through or not. Despite George's challenge advantage, SpongeBob wins immunity.!<

>!At camp, Harold and Homura get way closer. Homura expecting to go to the end with him. Aladdin tries to convince the alliance of four that they should target Homura, but George disagrees and claims they need to take out Slade. Homura though is also going after Aladdin. Though with the push of George, he rounds up everyone to get them focused on Slade. At tribal, everyone is set on Slade. Though everyone is then shocked as Slade pulls out the idol. He smugly plays it, glad to see everyone shaken. With that, everyone has to change plans. The vote turns back to between Aladdin and Homura. The vote ends up in a tie. The players have to revote, and Homura is sent home.!<

6th place

>!Homura- I really loved Homura's game. She was really good at playing from the bottom or even if she didn't have the numbers. She never panicked even when there was a target on her back, and just did what she needed to so she would survive. Which was impressive as she knew what moves to make in order to get herself to the next round, and she did a good job despite being such a big target getting to the final 6.!<

Episode 13

>!The final 5! Homura is now gone. Slade is now vulnerable. No idol and no allies. His only hope is immunity. The four is locked in, though SpongeBob and George have their final two within that. SpongeBob is closest with Aladdin and George, expectedly George is tight with Aladdin and George. George wins reward and takes Harold for a night at an archeologist camp with a large feast. The two just have a great time, both glad they could play the game with their best friend. They congratulate themselves for getting so far and getting far. George goes on to win immunity.!<

>!George and Harold had bonded so much at the reward, they are ready to take it all the way to the end, step by step. George also makes sure he is solid with SpongeBob, and SpongeBob is good at growing their connection. Everyone is ready to just vote Slade off. Slade does his best to convince the others than SpongeBob is a dangerous player and they need to cut him now. When they reach tribal, Slade's faith is sealed. His is voted out.!<

5th place

>!Slade- Slade played such an interesting game. He was smart, strategic, knew who to target, could be charming when needed, and was able to play from the bottom. He was a really strong player, and I think he had such cool game. He also has the accomplishment of being the first person in the franchise to find and play an idol (at least the early addition of it).!<

Finale, Part 1

>!The final 4! The alliance of four had successfully reached the final stretches of the game. George has his strong relations with Harold and SpongeBob, having a final 2 with SpongeBob. Within the alliance Aladdin and George aren't close, and SpongeBob and Harold aren't close, but are then close with the other two members sin the one they aren't close to. SpongeBob manages to win immunity.!<>!With the second to last vote coming up, things become a bit tricky. Aladdin knows he is in a rough spot. George is pushing for him to be voted out, and he has close ties with the others. Aladdin gets into a fight with Harold, claiming that voting him out is the wrong move. He does the same as he goes to SpongeBob. Aladdin then makes an interesting pitch to Harold, claiming if he takes George then him and SpongeBob are a tight unit- that George would arguably take SpongeBob over him. Harold dismisses it as George is his best friend. Though at tribal the vote ends up being 2-1-1. Aladdin's reasoning had gotten to Harold, and in a shocking blindside, he voted of George.!<

4th place

>!George- George played a really good game. He made strong social ties and alliances, and was great at pushing the moves that he wanted. He had a great chance at winning the game as he was a bold player with good social skills. This vote actually did shock me when I saw Harold blindsided after everything, probably one of the biggest shocks of the season.!<

Finale, Part 2

>!The final 3 have come down to the most important immunity challenge. Aladdin getting George out, garneted that either Harold or SpongeBob would take him to the end. SpongeBob wins the final immunity! Not only is he guaranteed a spot in the finale, but he has now tied Tinkerbell's record of 4 immunity wins in one season. Coming to the final vote, Aladdin uses the last few moments to build connections and work on his jury management. He is aware that Harold is more likely going. SpongeBob ways his options. In the end, SpongeBob does vote out Harold and takes Aladdin to the end.!<

3rd place

>!Harold- Harold played a strong game, and I think he had a really good shot at winning. His strongest assets was his social game. Being able to make great connections, even with outsiders like Homura or Napoleon. This kept him well positioned throughout the whole game. Though he fell just short of the finale.!<

2nd Place

>!Aladdin- Our second placer, the diamond in the rough, Aladdin! Aladdin went from 14 place to reaching the final 2. I think Aladdin did a much better job of managing his threat level this time around, not over playing, and making sure his social ties were solid. I think what was good about his game is when he lost Nagata and Ochaco, he had an alliance to fall back on. He was good at knowing who to align with. That being said his fellow finalist may have had on their resume.!<

1st Place

>!SpongeBob- Our winner SpongeBob! SpongeBob was a pretty strong winner. He had a wonderful social game, being included in the main four alliance, having that final 2 in the endgame, and earlier on having Cher working with him. Then the strong physical game added on to that, winning a total of 4 immunity challenges. I think another good thing about SpongeBob is he protected his friendships and made sure his allies wouldn't go home, which benefited him in the end.!<

As I said before, I think this was a very interesting and fun season! Every player really brought something whether it be strategic or personality wise. Definitely some shocking moments from quits, to rock draws, blindsides, etc. I think there are a good solid number of players I can see coming back.
