| “ | The four way alliance with Will, Marc and Spence is set. We can control this game if we very well please. Hopefully in the reward challenge I can go to the temple and find out what really hides there. Though right now I'm just waiting for this darkness twist to die down. Can someone turn on the lights? | ” |

| “ | I'm a bit OCD about this game... Ugh. | ” |

| “ | This curse about getting the same score everytime shouldn't be up too long soon. | ” |
–Chieko | ||
| “ | We lost the reward challenge. It could have been me going to the temple, but Lori and Morena just aren't strong at anything. And guess who's going to the temple? Morena of course.
Absolutley fuming, Dendera have their challenge beasts and I can't do anything about it right now. |

| “ | Immunity Challenge:
Okay so the immunity challenge was bird sanctuary, I knew the other team were weak and uncooperative monkeys (Except for Will and Jack). So I took the lead and went from when I woke up to when the challenge ended. We secured a pretty easy win with a pretty massive lead. Vote: Everyone already decided that we were going to vote Chieko because she doesn’t really talk to anyone. She is pretty strong in challenges so it isn’t like a bad thing to have her around but she’s easy to boot and a shield for me. Me/Jared/Aleks/Medha now have a majority alliance with Aj so I assume they don’t want to instantly vote him after Chieko goes anymore. Reward Challenge: I actually got a higher score but I wanted to kinda hide behind Chieko because she’s a great shield. I knew I wasn’t going to be voted into the Temple so it didn’t really matter that much to me so I submitted 9.9 Temple Featuring Idol Clues: Aleks went into the temple which was great for me because he totally fell for my bs and he would have to lie about it to everyone else too because there’s no trust there. He came back and he picked receive and got an idol clue and told me about it. Only even numbers and grass. I acted clueless about the grid and I set him up to lie with me so if I got caught he’d get caught too. He’s telling people that he lost the challenge and it was “How many people voted for Aleks” and he answered wrong because that’s like almost the only plausible thing Morena can ever beat anyone at. She’s so going next if the other tribe loses again. |

Day 8[]
| “ | I'm never gonna get to go back to the Temple again and that's fucking lameeeeee because i REALLY want an idol but i desperately need a clue, fuck this grid man god damn. I think we got immunity tho we hit almost all the people, mostly thanks to me and Byron tbh. Gotta keep carrying so these fooligans keep me around till the merge | ” |
–Jack | ||
| “ | im so shocked when i learned that the opponent chooses me to go to the temple but at the same time its a luck,coz i may get a chance to get an advantage or an idol..on the second thought, its a bad idea coz they might blindside me or literally wil vote me out thinking that i have the idol at hand already which til now i havent found one 😂😂😂😂 fingers crossed | ” |

Day 9[]
| “ | Yesterday was the day our tribe went insane. Since last round, Chieko has been the consensus vote because she doesn't talk to many people. However, Chieko has basically carried our tribe through a handful of these challenges, and more and more people are becoming less inclined to vote her out. I personally have no issue keeping Chieko because I think I have a decent relationship with her, but I wasn't going to be the one to pitch saving her and go against what is an assumed unanimous vote. The first ball to drop was Jared coming to me, and saying "So, um, Julia does nothing and Chieko really stepped up for the challenge." IMMEDIATELY my head is spinning because Julia is in my alliance, and if someone is going to try and get the vote on her, well, I can't have that. I responded basically choosing my words carefully, saying that yes, Chieko is great and we should keep her, but that I also think there's more than one person who doesn't contribute to the challenges as much (just hoping that will spread his interests to voting other people besides Julia).
AT THE SAME TIME THIS IS HAPPENING, aleks approaches me and says, "So I was thinking That when the time comes to send in our parchments I think we should vote out Aj He's literally barely done anything And I think it's unfair to vote out Cheiko when Aj has been trying to scrape by doing nothing." Again, sort of freaking out because I don't want AJ to go, but less concerned than what Jared told me. I, again, just boosted Chieko to Aleks, saying i agree she doesn't deserve to go (the key being "let's save the same person" as opposed to continuing their discussion of a new target). I subtly threw in that Jared came to me saying Chieko shouldn't go so we could for sure get the votes to save Chieko, and when I did that Aleks said he isn't very close with Jared so if I could talk to him maybe we could get the vote on AJ. AT THE SAME TIME IM TALKING WITH JARED AND ALEKS, im talking with one of my #1's, Nicole, trying to parse out what we need to do. I initially suggested, on the assumption Aleks/Medha/Jared are an unbreakable 3, that if me, Nicole, Julia and AJ vote for Aleks or Jared, we may be able to get one of the other girls to flip on the 4-4 revote. Nicole was a bit more proactive than I was and decided to just straight up ask Aleks if he would be cool with targeting Jared. So now I'm speaking with Aleks and Nicole separately, and the vote is on Jared. Aleks wants to keep AJ in the dark, meaning it'd either be 5-2-1, or 5-1-1 with Chieko, Jared and AJ on the outs. The problem is, in the case that we ARE being played and the Aleks/Medha/Jared group IS trying to pull a fast one on us, we need to make sure AJ is voting with us so that at the WORST CASE SCENARIO if someone is trying to pull something, it'd be 4-4. That's basically where things stand now, Jared looks to be the vote. We did fairly well in the challenge, so there is a strong possibility we could end up coming back to camp with all of this unnecessary drama. But, with the nature of this twist, I think the time to play it safe has passed. We really have 0 idea if we are attending tribal or not, so we have to plan for losing, and I'd rather Jared be the plan at this point than AJ or Chieko who I feel are less sneaky than Jared (who is a sweetheart despite him being the target). |

| “ | God it's just so gutting to lose challenge after challenge, especially since this seems to happen to me every single ORG I play. Luckily I'm unquestionably one of the strongest players on the tribe and the other guys are heavily pushing the "keep the tribe strong" mantra. Unfortunately that means targeting the girls since they've been largely inactive/bad at challenges. But at this point I just gotta be able to maintain a good position if we swap, which I suspect will come at some point. | ” |
