EPISODE 12: Follow Your Hearts and Cast Your Votes
After Roseās departure, tensions ran high within the remaining players as they approached their second-to-last immunity challenge. In Travel The Bridge, the Final Four had to make their way across the Transcontinental Bridge and post their progress in half-hour increments while trying to outrun an ominous unmarked van that was hot on their tails. This was a close challenge - other than Marg, who dropped out after their first post, everyone managed to stay on track for many hours, with it coming down to a one-point difference between Logan and Jenna. Though Logan finished first, it was Jenna who pulled off a perfect score and guaranteed herself a spot in the Final Three. Though Katie had fought hard through the entirety of merge and was heavily favored by the jury, she finally ran out of cards to play and was voted out 3-1.
Before their Final Immunity Challenge, Logan, Marg, and Jenna took a somber walk along the Bridge to pay tribute to their fallen comrades in Rites of Passage. They then proceeded to their final challenge, which was a live quiz about various events that happened throughout the season. Marg was the first to be eliminated, leaving Logan and Jenna to fight it out once again until Jenna emerged victorious and won the sole vote to determine who would go with her to the Final Two. After a full twenty-four hours of deliberating between her two allies, Jenna chose to make Marg the last member of the jury.
At Final Tribal Council, the jury questioning was intense as they aired all of their frustrations. Logan and Jenna stayed strong in the face of this heat, and after the jurors sent their final parchments, Logan was crowned Sole Survivor of Aqualand in a 6-2 vote.
JENNA
It's 3 am and I'm bored doing this challenge so I figured I'd make a confessional since I can't complain in my host chat. Katie was doing a lot last vote so I ended up not being able to tell Rose we were voting for her which made me feel super bad since everyone was saying she was really loyal to me and I really did like her as a person. I just was worried about an extra vote which SOMEONE did have so it was smart to lie to both Katie and Rose about the plan. Unfortunately it is gonna be a final 2 instead of a final 3. I know Logan got all the way to watchtower 8 in this challenge and only missed one 50 miles and I was debating trying but I might as well go for the full amount I guess. I couldn't decide if Katie was gonna try or not and it kinda sucks cause if she did I think she would've started before me because of timezones and the fact that I needed a good nights sleep if I was gonna do this and not make myself sicker. What can you do tho I guess. I'm excited to sleep. I'm keeping busy by watching the last two LOTR movies since I've never seen them but they're so unnecessarily long and have too many battle scenes that add nothing and introduce so many random characters and barely have any female characters so like they're good just not what I want out of a fantasy movie. There's really not a huge point to this I'm just trying to kill some time and wake myself up before the next check in time. Katie apparently thinks that Linus voted for Logan because of the weird story Logan came up with and that he voted for Rose and that Logan had the extra parchment and voted Rose with it and then I have no idea who she thinks voted the other ways???? I want to tell her the truth but I don't want to upset her more or cause her to react in some way that would cause some chaos. Anyway I wish I knew how Katie was approaching this challenge/when she started but alas, that is not how this game works. Okay I have run out of things to talk about I guess I will start the last LOTR. Maybe they will actually have a girl that is a main part of the movie this time.
MARG
I am really off-put by how emotionally manipulative I have been in this game. I didn't think I had it in me, but clearly I do and that is scary to me. I really came into this game just wanting to have fun and make some new friends, and for most of it, I did that. But I have gotten way too competitive at the end and I have hurt a lot of people in this game. I just don't really care about the outcome of the season anymore and I want everything to be over. This isn't fun anymore. Entering the jury phase, I told myself that I wanted to play in a way that I am proud of and is true to myself, and I do not feel that I have done that. I have been really arrogant and played with people's emotions. I don't think I deserve to win because of how manipulative I have been. This is supposed to be fun and I have turned it not fun. Even writing this now I'm questioning if this confessional is emotionally manipulative and I don't even know. I feel like I sound like I am trying to turn myself into the victim, or make people feel bad for me, which I promise I am not trying to do, but how do I even prove that to anyone reading this?!? I am just trying to be honest about how I'm feeling right now. I am just so ready for this game to be over. I contemplated quitting, but decided against that because I feel I should face everyone in the jury whether that is being voted our or sitting at the end. I am really sorry to everyone in this game.
KATIE
Dun dun duna dun duna duna dunaĀ
Here lies Katie... shes dead.... she tried her very best but her body failed her in this last challenge... what a great 4th finish....
My last words are this... Everyone here has clearly forgotten how much fun and beneficial it is to play these games with me to the end. I hope you also didnāt forget that the thing Iām most known for is swaying a jury to vote for whatever winner I want.Ā
Iāve been on the jury for over 30 games and have only voted for the the runner up 3 times. Ā
JENNA
I don't know if I'll make another confessional or not but we'll see. I'm glad I won the challenge mainly because I've never actually lost an endurance challenge before. I'm not really sure if I'll make it to the final 2. I guess I could try to make some deal with Katie but I don't really want to. I told Marg I wouldn't vote them but I also love Logan so I don't know what I would do if I had to choose who to sit next to. And don't get me wrong I do want to win, I just don't have the heart anymore to ensure my place. I think whatever happens, happens, and i'll be okay with that. I do think I played a good game I just don't know what jury perception is going to be like. I spent a lot of the game lying and pretending to be absolutely confused by the vote and alliances or idols when in reality I wasn't. Logan looks like he did a lot more, and he definitely did a lot but so did I. I just don't know if I even could convince the jury of it. Sure I could tell Katie and she could tell the jury like she was offering in the chat, especially clearing up that I knew the curse was real and I did find it first and I played a big part in helping find Logans idol as well, but I'm worried she'd still try and turn people against me. I don't know why since I know she blocked Marg and Logan wouldn't care, I just don't wanna screw anything up just incase. Maybe it's the wrong move, but again, I really would be happy to see either Logan or Marg win. The only thing is I really don't wanna be on jury. Other than that I'm pretty content.

At the final reward challenge, the Final Five were given a taste of Final Sea Council through a test of their knowledge of the jurors. They had to identify Voices from the Deep, aka a series of quotes from the jury members, and figure out who had said which one. Everyone did pretty terribly on this one - and no one correctly identified a single one of the three Zac Efron quotes - but Jenna and Marg both tied for the highest score. Because Marg submitted first, they won the last hotel voucher of the season.
This was also the final round in which the Transcontinental Hotel was open for visitors, so for immunity, the players said goodbye to it through a Hotel Hide & Seek challenge. They each had to run through the hotel one last time and pick a hiding spot, then take fifteen minutes to find as many of their competitors as possible. The person whose hiding spot was most effective would win the final hotel voucher of the season. While three of the five players ended up hiding in the same room (and two in the same spot there), Katie found a great spot in the conservatory and was only found twice, meaning she got to put on that coveted immunity necklace for the third time in a row.
Immediately after everyone got back to camp, Logan stirred up a whole mess by telling everyone that he was the one who unlocked the curse in the hotel, and that it had caused his last several voted to be cast by jurors rather than himself. This caused Katie to believe that his vote at the upcoming Sea Council would be cast for Linus, who would likely be voting for Marg again; she put great effort into creating a split-vote plan where either Jenna or Logan (?) would go home. However, Logan told Jenna and Marg that the story was fabricated and the three of them chose to stick together. Although Rose finally used one of her many hotel vouchers for a last-minute trip in which she found a Briny Parchment that allowed her to cast an extra vote, she fell just short of being able to save herself.Ā Rose was voted out by a final tally of 3-2-0 after Logan played his idol on Jenna to negate Katieās vote.
MARG
I'm sad I just backstabbed Linus, but I have been with Logan and Jenna for longer. I have to stick with the two of them because I think the jury will be mad at all of us. But tbh I think they're probably all going to be the most mad at me :(((((((
ROSE
i think i may have accidentally made a really good social move today (as long as it doesn't come back to bite me later!!)
JENNA
MARG
JENNA

I miss Jess she wouldnāt have made me into ghost </3 Whatever it wasnāt even a real ghost Stupids pearls Tbh I must have been pretty fucking annoying constantly messaging Jenna about idea to this hotel she already solved hahaha Sad Guess Iāll make a move now!
JENNA
I am a bit worried about this vote. It didn't help Logan lied about all that stuff because I think Katie was with me and him before that and now she thinks we're probably too big of a threat. I do think Marg will stick with us but it's hard because there's a lot of things that can go wrong. I think Katie does think Linus is voting for Logan this vote and that Linus will vote Marg. So I'm just gonna play along with whatever Katie says and hope for the best. I'm most worried about an extra vote from the monster but I think Rose is the only one who could find it so I'm gonna try and talk to Rose to see if she'll 1. tell me what Katie is saying 2. not worry about looking in the hotel for the monster stuff. I was gonna tell Rose I was voting her initially but I don't want something to happen. I thought about playing my curse on Rose but I'm a little bit worried about being wrong and it'd look weird that I knew it was real? I don't know. I wish I could just play it on myself and not have to worry about getting a penalty vote next vote for being wrong cause I just don't wanna be on jury. Overall I just have to hope this vote and trust. I'm a little bummed because I thought I set myself up well for this vote but I really should've just gotten that idol instead of telling Logan to get it and I shouldn't have revealed that I was the one who got the curse. I wish Logan didn't do that random lie as well but that's his own choice so it is what it is.Ā
Okay I was stressed about this vote because Katie is doing the most but then I thought about how the options pretty much are me, Rose, and Marg. And we're supposed to do Rose but if something happens I don't really want Marg to go either. I could realistically make it easy and convince Logan and Rose to vote Marg but I just don't want to. I said I was gonna stick with Marg and I want to follow through with it. I think Marg does wanna stick with me too but you never know. So if something happens, it happens. I would hope they'd tell me to play my ghost thing after Logan plays the idol because I do wanna be a ghost. Or if Rose plays an idol or if Katie idols Rose then I'll ask who everyone voted for and say I just wanna be a ghost. There's really nothing else I am willing to do this round. I did wish Logan would play his idol on me for a second but he brought up then it could be rocks between him and Marg and that's not fair.
After MJās departure, the final six were given a live immunity challenge, skipping over reward because it was incorporated into immunity. In Escape The Flood, players had to navigate their way through a flooding watchtower, flipping tiles to stay dry and trying to strand other players so they could no longer make moves. Under some of the tiles were advantages and disadvantages such as skip-a-turns, extra turns, idol clues, and free hotel visits. There was also a secret reward of an extra visit given to the player who was eliminated from the challenge first, which ended up being Logan. Katie ultimately outlasted everyone and won immunity, making it the second consecutive time she wore the necklace.
Between the challenge and Sea Council, several interesting hotel visits were taken. Through a clue won from the challenge, Jenna and Logan were able to figure out the secret of how to transform pearls, and Jenna unlocked about half of them before Logan went in and completed the rest. He used the shells to summon both Persnickety Pete, who went to hide somewhere in the hotel and wait for him, and the monster from the submeres, which would now roam the halls of the hotel looking for snacks while any player was visiting. After some searching, Logan was able to find Pete in the guest rooms and won the puppetās game, for which he was rewarded with an immunity idol. Logan and Jenna both also searched for the monster, but only Jenna was able to briefly find it, and was unable to provide it with the proper nutrition it desired.
At Sea Council, LinusĀ finally ran out of idols to play and was voted out 4-2.
MARG
KATIE
NOW I'M THE BAE OF THE BEACH!!!! shout out the queen of all queens sharifa for teaching me how to win that challenge years ago <3 iouuuuuĀ
I heard that everyone had a literal breakdown last round on call when the wheel landed on my name for logan giving up his immunity... well I don't need your wheel!!!! I came in second twice and that was 2 days post surgery that my doctor diagnosed as "traumatic" so of COURSE i was able to pull it together and win (still 5 days post op btw)Ā
but yes its time for these guys to stop writing me off so soon... like... don't you know who I think I am?!?!??
JENNA
I realize I should've tried harder to get the pete idol but idols scare me and i would be very upset to either be targeted because of it or voted out without playing it. I told Logan what to do for it because I wasn't sure if Marg would take the opportunity to idol me out next vote if they had it. I'm gonna do a longer video confessional tomorrow but Logan was debating taking a shot at Marg because he doesn't think we win against them. That worries me because does he think he'd win against me? What if he takes the opportunity to idol me out? I showed Katie the clue Logan got at merge about where the laundry pearl was because she wanted to compare notes and I didn't wanna reveal the idol stuff. I don't know if I should tell Katie I got the curse. I think she'll either want me to use it on her if she goes or use it to get people to target me. But at the same time she really wants to know what the curse is and it's not that crazy that it would really mess me up if people knew I had it. I really do want final 3 to be me, Marg, and Logan. I think it's a pretty fair fight and I'm honestly not sure what I would vote if I were on the jury and it was us three up there. Katie would probably win because she was an underdog and Rose most likely would be out of the running. And I guess Linus could go either way. Everyone wants to tell Linus they're voting him which I get but I will always be paranoid about idols. I don't know if he'd vote me or Logan at that point. Katie said she's gonna vote Marg cause she thinks Linus will too but i don't know. I don't know.
ROSE
this was probably the toughest vote yet; i hope things go the way i want them to but it's a very slim chance, so fingers crossed!
LINUSā FINAL WORDS
It looks like in the end there were no cracks that could be found in the Proteus 2.0 alliance. I had a great time, but I regret that I could never rebuild trust with the Cetos, but I guess who knows if Iād have always just been on the bottom with them as well. Iām really hoping that Katie or Rose will reach the end because I feel like the other 3 took me for kind of an idiot and Iāll cry myself to sleep if I have to vote for the guy who randomized giving away immunity and messaged me the day before I left basically to just mock that I was going to leave š. It was fun though and beyond some temporary pettiness I hold no long term ill will to anyone, and Iām excited to see the Allyn again and hopefully make up with the other jurors!
EPISODE 9: Not Sure I Really Feel Like Dealing With All This Today
For their eighth and final reward challenge of the season, the final seven participated in a selfie scavenger huntĀ that required they submit photos of items (such as binoculars, seagulls, puppets, rain jackets, and unexpected chocolate) as well as videos of themselves completing tasks (whinnying a sea shanty, eating some cake, throwing fish in the air, lipsyncing to Celine Dion). Nearly everyone rose to the occasion, but ultimately two players put forth the best effort, with Jenna beating out Katie by a matter of a few photos.
For immunity, each player participated individually in a Dungeon Crawl through the submeres, trying to make it to the exit in the fewest number of moves without getting attacked by hidden monsters or stopped by locked doors. The players were given a mostly-blank map to follow with only the start and finish points marked; what they werenāt given was the fact that there was also a map in a locker at the Transcontinental Hotel that showed these two points plus every monster in the maze. All seven players had received this clue at some point in their travels, but none of them figured out the correlation until after the challenge had been run. Ultimately, by sheer luck, Logan won immunity - and promptly gave it away to Katie as determined by a randomized wheel spin that he performed on call in the team chat. This move baffled many of the players, especially those who had not played with Logan before and werenāt familiar with his years-long desire to do such a thing simply for the fun of it.
Though there were several hotel visits this round, there werenāt any significant developments besides Marg and Logan continuing to throw pearls toward random bodies of water and Marg managing to transform one of them to a seashell. Therefore, when it came to Council time, the only idol or advantage left in the equation was Linusā idol that he inherited from Rhea at the start of merge. He originally intended to play it on himself no matter what to ensure safety, but almost changed his mind shortly before the voting deadline, which was an ongoing factor in the negotiations between the majority alliances about whether to vote out Linus (and/or flush the idol) or MJ. Linus ended up playing his idol to no effect, and MJ was sent home by a vote of 4-3, becoming the fourth member of the jury.
ROSE
that was a revealing council! it looks like even though we thought we knew where the lines were drawn, a lot of them just got moved around
MARG
KATIE
Not sure if it has to do with not being able to play with Jess tomorrow or because of how hard I let myself press my body just to loss reward but Iām starting to feel like Iām checking out or this session : maybe Iāll feel better but rn the pain is too muchā I hope this makes jernse because Iām using Siri to type it explination point
JENNA
Okay I don't think I won this challenge this time so I'll post a recap of last vote incase everything goes to shit again tomorrow. This is just from my perspective obviously. So MJ told me we should split the vote 3-3-2 and not tell Linus, Marg, or Logan. Which I thought was a little bit sus but I wasn't sure if he could do anything. I told him we should do 4-2-2 and pull in Linus just incase he was planning anything weird and he agreed so that initially made me feel better. I had the plan to tell Marg and Logan so they knew and then we could maybe blindside MJ NEXT vote. Logan is on board but Marg does not like it. They don't wanna be left out of the vote, thinks it would make them look bad. Okay... sure. Logan said they wanna do Rose, then they wanna do MJ. I didn't wanna do MJ because it would leave Jess in the game and Rose mad at me so I wasn't thrilled about the plan but I knew if I told MJ about it he'd want Marg out. I can't get Marg to agree to have Jess go so I ask if maybe they can just do MJ and I stay voting Jess so I don't lose Rose and that way people don't know we're close. THEN Linus comes to me and is like "can I tell you something" and I think he's gonna tell me they're targeting MJ which is cool. BUT NO, it's that MJ wants Logan supposedly out because each side is trying to "weaken me" because I have "too much power". Which is funny because Logan was worried he'd be blindsided.Ā
So now MJ's plan makes sense. I don't wanna tell Marg and Logan just yet because I promised Linus I wouldn't and I was hoping Linus would tell them. This whole time Logan is v worried (which makes me wonder if someone told him something). I tell Linus I will do what he wants if it's Logan or MJ but doing MJ would make logan and marg stick with us at least. At this point I'm ready to vote MJ, BUT I do tell Linus that if he were to tell Marg and Logan he could convince them to do Jess because Linus said he'd rather Jess go.Ā
THEN Marg comes to me and tells me Linus told her about the plan, so I'm assuming Linus has picked that side, but I don't wanna bring it up to Linus obviously. So I say I'm gonna vote with them either way just incase. Linus swears Rose isn't involved and I bring up the idea of doing Jess because if Rose or Linus flips we'd have at least 4 votes. Marg wants to use their idol which I don't think is totally necessary but it is their idol so I tell them to do what their gut says. Marg brings up the possibility they're voting them and told Linus a lie (which is what happens but) I'm not sure because it seems like a weird move to lie to everyone except Jess and Katie about the vote.Ā
So Marg idols Logan and loses the idol, but at least Jess went home. MJ said to be fair he brought up voting Marg to me, which is true, but I thought people would believe me that I just wanted Jess gone because it was true. Oh well... MJ said he still wants to work with me and that whole plan was mainly to get Marg to flush their idol which I'm not sure I believe but I'm just playing up that I think everyones gonna turn on me and hoping for the best. It doesn't make complete sense for MJ, Marg, or Logan to turn on me this vote, but stranger things have happened so I'm not counting anyone out. I wanna figure out this idol thing but i don't know how to turn all the pearls to shells!!! I also still wanna be a ghost. We'll see.
MJ
https://prnt.sc/weuhybĀ
You try to open the game up by voting Marg out and the very next round the game ends up being more cut off then it was before! So funny how that works. I like only want to vote for Linus tonight. I have no interest in even sifting through this āJenna wants Rose outā nonsense. Cleary nobody wants Marg out. Iām not voting for Logan, so that leaves who? Jenna? And I donāt wanna vote her out cause that just makes it easier for everyone else afterwards no thanks!
ROSE
tonight's vote is a really tough decision but hopefully i made the right call; i guess we will find out tonight!
MJāS FINAL WORDS
Iām not sure I really feel like dealing with all of this today
thanks for casting me at the last min this was more pleasant than i thought it was gonna be
EPISODE 8: All The Men In This Game Are Frustrating
After their dramatic first merge Council, the players were tasked with testing their loyalty and relationships even further in a paired-up immunity challenge called Prisonerās Dilemma. Each randomly assigned pair went on call with the hosts and had to decide privately whether to trust their partner or betray them. If both trusted each other, theyād both get a Hotel visit; if only one trusted, the one who betrayed would win two visits; and if both chose to betray, theyād get nothing. Despite the strategic rifts between many players, nearly all of them chose to trust each other in this challenge - the only ones who betrayed were Rose and Jessica, disqualifying each other from getting a reward.
Because that wasnāt enough drama, the immunity challenge was Touchy Subjects. The person who overwhelmingly got the most positive answers from the team was Jenna, who also won immunity to help make that target on her back even prettier. Jessica got most of the more negative answers, Linus got a bit of a Fabio edit, MJ was named the person who never shut up (and promptly proved that point in the team chat), and Logan was named a master pie-eater.
Meanwhile, there were several more visits to the once-again-renovated Transcontinental Hotel, where theĀ ā???ā elevator button was replaced with aĀ ā!!!ā button that when unlocked with the correct passcode would take players to a hidden shrine room where they received a clue that told them they must transform pearls into shells. The only ones who made real progress with this discovery this round were the alliance of Jenna, Marg, and Logan, who managed to get through the door and figured out how to convert two out of the five pearls they needed to make something else happen, though mostly by accident.
At Sea Council, the vote was shuffled around several times, with every single eligible person having their name thrown out at some point. The initial consensus was to do a split vote between Katie and Jess, but MJ, unhappy with this plan, decided to go rogue and attempt a blindside of Marg - which would have worked had Linus not spilled the beans to Jenna, causing their alliance to become frustrated with MJ and decide to all vote for Jess. Marg played their idol for Logan, unaware that the opposing votes were actually on them, but Jessica ended up going home in a 5-3 vote.
JENNA
Okay all I know right now is that somehow Katie, linden, and jess found out about the 3-3-3 vote. Mj told Jess about the extra vote on Linus which why would he do that if he wasn't trying to work with her? Someone voted Linus and wont own up to it. I told Linus to throw his vote on Jess cause i was worried about his extra vote incase his idol thing didn't work (which he did tell me about). I thought it'd be 4-4-2-1 so i am confused? Jess told me she katie got the idol from the monster, I know katie gave hers to jess last round so that's a lie. Jess told me everyone said they were planning on voting me this next round if I don't win immunity. Logan hold he never told that to Jess at all? The only person I can think that would vote Linus would be Mj but why not own up to it? I am overall very confused still but I am glad Linden left. It's all a they said they said type of vibe which makes things a lot harder. I haven't ~fully lied to anyone because I was confused on the vote and I did hope Linden would go... I'm sure it'll catch up to me I just hope I can be a ghost.
JESSICA
Last round was all over the place! I finally used my hotel tickets and I found an idol which is great. Then, despite telling Logan and Marg basically every thought that occurs in my head in this game, I hear from MJ that they are all planning to split the vote between me and Linden because people think we're a trio with Katie. I personally think this is a horrible move because Linus literally lies to every single person all day and I give Marg/Logan a lot of intel but?? Okay! So I asked MJ to please not vote for me and vote for Linus instead and he said sure. He also told me Linus has a penalty vote so even if everyone else votes for me, I won't go home because it will tie. We're thinking it's going to be 5 Linus - 3 Linden - 2 Me (and 1 Katie, but that didn't really matter). IĀ give Katie the idol just in case I get voted out because I'd rather it stay with her! Unfortunately, Linus also had an advantage that he played and then he was safe. I originally told Katie not to play the idol on me and let's just risk it but she did so now I am still in the game and Linden is out :(Ā
I don't really know where to go from here because there isn't much else I can do to convince people I'm really not playing that hard slash at all. I usually only show up for ~an hour a day, talk to everyone, say yes to whatever the first plan I hear is and then that's it but for some reason people are convinced I'm the player to beat??? I told Jenna that if she tries to vote me again she will regret it FOREVER. Okay I didn't say that but I did say if I leave she is definitely out next because everyone is threatened by her. She doesn't know who voted Linus and I'm not telling her either!Ā
LINUS
I suspect nearly everyone will trust in this reward challenge. Jessica, Katie, Rose, and MJ are the only ones who it would benefit to not trust, and even then thereās pros and cons. Jessica and Katie probably feel a bit cornered after last round, I donāt know if I actually think they are or not, but they would have reason to feel that way and think advantages are their best path forward. MJ and Rose by extension have reason to think that they are going to be betrayed, so it would be defensiveĀ
I also think MJ is a bit more sneaky than heāll probably get credit for due to his inactivity, but as early as that schoolyard pick for teams he was telling Logan about a girls alliance and trying to game the cetoās to go for girls. Iāve seen players like him before, and although he isnāt socially doing a ton, I suspect he is very invested in the hotel, probably has advantages already and would like to push for more.Ā
I could see Logan doing some jumping around alliance wise, but it would be showing his hand too much if he burnt trust for a mere reward. Marg and Jenna both have reason to want the other to like them right now, so it would likely hurt either of them to betray.Ā
Iād say odds areĀ
Trust
Jenna (90%) Marg (90%) Logan (75%) Linus (100%) (just since I know what I did) Rose (60%) (rose should betray, but I think since sheās pretty inact she might trust just so no one holds a grudge against her and it allows her to go as far as possible).
Betray
MJ (70%) Jessica (75%) Katie (60%) (Katie tries to present an appearance of siding with whoever she is talking to even if what sheās saying makes no sense for them to believe her, so she could do that here).
MARG
MJ
STILL LOCKED OUT? DON'T FEAR OR FUME / YOU NEED A MUSICIAN, A PLANT, A COSTUMEĀ
First name = the musician Genus = whatever the plant is? Appendage = wings (from the crow costume) I feel like genus has to be referring to Nelumbo nucifera even though that also refers to the lotus which granted another visit but a genus name isn't provided anywhere else in the hotelĀ
I think I have to inspect the sheet music at that piano like maybe a name is written on the back of it or something from the bulletin board: "It's covered in a variety of colorful sticky notes, mostly with illegible words. You can make out some of them, though, including "If we shadows have offended, think but this and all is mended," "F5 is the good stuff," "nelumbo nucifera," "new schedule next week," the word "RETURN" over & over, and a crude drawing of a whale."Ā
F5 = vending machine = ceto idol presumably seeing as u wouldnt give it to me at the time nelumbo nucifera = the lotus flower in the garden that granted another visit AND POTENTIALLY the "genus" name needed for the !!! code new schedule next week = idfk i really dont. return = see above whale drawing = see above
I talked to Jenna about this but I think F5 = Ceto idol Metal box = Proteus idol 11 pearls = sapphire idol DUNNO = 50/50 coin = found by rhea and transferred to linus Releasing the monster = one idol per team = played by jess and linden ??? = idol claimed to be found by jess but i think this is the one katie played on jess at the merge vote !!! has to be a new idol so i think the ceto idol and the proteus idol are both still in play and i think marg has the f5 oneĀ
idk who has the proteus idol could be anyone rlly

One day I will win touchy subjects by saying someone's name for every answer.... that day is not today!
JENNA
I am again not really sure what to do this vote. Marg told me Logan wanted MJ out but Logan didn't mention that to me at all. MJ said he'd want Logan or Marg out but I said this round doesn't make sense for that. So MJ suggested doing a split vote and just not telling Linus, Marg, or Logan, which doesn't make a ton of sense to me either. Also why would MJ wanna do that unless he either 1. actually thought Marg or Logan voted Linus last time or 2. he has his own plan somehow?? Logan said he's worried I'm gonna be blindsided next vote which is fun. Jess and Katie told me they wouldn't vote for me if I don't vote for them this round and part of me wants to take them up on that???? But I don't see MJ working with Marg so a blindside would really have to come from Linus and Rose going with MJ or Marg. Or Logan doing it which I would hope he's not lying to me so i don't know.Ā
Marg is honestly playing a really good game and I could see them being the one who voted Linus last time just to cause chaos. And as far as I can tell Linus and Rose like Marg as well because they were both saying they trust Marg. Marg is worried about Logan supposedly and Logan is worried about Marg blindsiding me supposedly as well? I'm still not sure what MJ's end goal is. I got the most likely to win and biggest hero thing for touchy subjects which isn't great. And I won again which is fine but all those are more reason for people to want me out. I don't know how to explain to Marg I don't really care if I win since I've won before... Part of me thinks I should just become a ghost because that way I can help people and not worry about the vote... but it's hard cause I don't rly wanna vote out MJ or even Katie and that would force me to do that whereas if i'm just gone I wouldn't have to worry about it. I don't really want Katie to go this round, partially because she's literally getting surgery and it feels bad to vote for her when she's not even here to save herself.Ā
MJ wants to get out Jess with the split vote supposedly, which I do kinda believe him? But it makes me wonder why he doesn't want Katie out. Does he have some end game plan with her?? Also MJ shared a watch tower clue with me to figure out the new !!! room in the game and I got in but can't figure out the rest. I told MJ about it and I also told Marg which I'm not sure was the right move or not now but i don't know. Marg told me we shouldn't tell Logan incase Logan tells Jess but I think I'm going to now because I don't know who I should trust and if I made the wrong call on MJ or Marg I might as well risk making the wrong one on Logan too. No ones really online and I think the hard part is I don't know what Rose or Linus are thinking long term so i don't know if they'd wanna get me out or not. Anyway I'm sure I have too many confessionals but whatever! I think I'll probably tell Marg and Logan about MJ splitting the vote and see if I can convince them to let me do it with him so for next vote they have a reason to get him out and he would hopefully tell me his plan so I can keep them updated as well. I don't know if they'll go for it though I think they'll want Katie out even more.

With one more incredibly chaotic vote in the books, the players headed into the merge theyād been waiting for, where they were given new buffs and a welcome feast. Each player got to pick one food item to eat; two of them contained idol clues, while the rest were just tasty. Logan found a clue in his brined potatoes, and Linden found on in her sea salt caramels. The players were also tasked with voting for who they would like to give an extra hotel visit to, with the winner(s) being the the player(s) voted highest - a tie between Logan, Marg, and Jessica.
As the welcome feast got underway, Rhea told the hosts that she was making the decision to leave the game because she felt unable to continue meeting the time commitment. Before she left, she gave Linus her hidden immunity idol. Because Rheaās decision made her ineligible for jury, Allyn took her place in becoming the first resident of Ponderosa.
After a two-day break for the holidays, the members of the newly-named Cthulhu Team participated in their first individual immunity challenge, called Guess That Fish! They had to use yes or no questions to correctly identify four fish out of a narrowed pool. Everyone approached this with vastly different strategies - from asking highly specific science questions to using the number of letters in each fishās name to narrow it down - and it was ultimately Jenna who won this challenge by a narrow margin of one point.
While the strategizing and scrambling began, there were also significant Hotel discoveries. First, the whole cast found that the Hotel had been renovated to include an elevator, with buttons to take the rider to each floor or to a mysteriousĀ ā???ā room. When pressed, theĀ ā???ā button required a time code which was comprised of a year (found on wine bottles in the conservatory), a time (found on either of the two clocks in the mermaid room and guest suite), and a year (found by correctly identifying the false date on the storage room calendar and using the day of the week that the 20th was supposed to be on). If a player tried a wrong code twice in a row, they would be trapped in the elevator and exiled from the team chat for one hour. Several players discovered this right away, including Katie, Logan, and Jenna. Jessica was the first one to crack the code, unlocking a hidden Laboratory where she found a box that had to be opened by completing a series of tasks throughout the rest of the hotel. She managed to complete the tasks in only two visits and secured herself a hidden immunity idol, which she then proceeded to tell literally everybody about.
There were also a couple other treasures discovered this round: Linus found a 50-50 Coin tucked under the carpet, but he also found (along with Katie) a Cursed Mirror which cast an auto vote against them at the next Sea Council. And elsewhere in the Hotel, Jenna finally found all eleven Black Pearls and used them to unlock the Curse of the Deep, which would allow her to play it on any person, similar to an idol, and turn them into a ghost who would not be able to win the game or be on jury but could hang around and compete in challenges for the ability to vote at Sea Councils.
At the first merged Sea Council, there was quite a bit of drama, lying, vote-changing, and paranoia. The consensus vote seemed to be Linus (who unbeknownst to anyone had both the idol and 50-50 coin ready to go to save him), but there was also extensive discussion of targeting Jess, Linden, Katie, and briefly Marg. Linus changed his vote the most, which also changed the outcome of the night - his second vote was for Katie, which would have created a 2-2 tie, but he ended up switching to Jess at the last minute. Jess gave her idol to Katie, saying she didnāt want to play it, but Katie decided to play it on her anyway after Linus secured safety from his 50-50 coin.Ā
With two idols effectively played to cancel eight votes and two auto-votes making eleven parchments total, the minority alliance pushed Linden onto the sword and she became the second member of the jury by a vote of 2-1-0-0.
ALLYN
Woah. Did not expect to be voted off. Ā Over the course of the day I heard everyone's name but mine so I was a little suspicious of that, but I also am aware it was a very last minute flip from someone. Ā I don't think it was Linden, I think it was Katie and Jess but both of those were my fault. Ā I progressively got better with strategy in this game, but one thing I was never good at was lying and recommending new ideas. Ā Rhea and I came clean to Katie about voting for Jess and Katie told me she was worried that she was getting voted out. Ā To make sure she knew that she wasn't, I told her about her steamrolling the watchtower challenge and how it gave me bad vibes but that was the only event to date. She had been super loyal to Rhea and I, and we were still solid with her. Ā She ignored me and I stupidly messaged her two minutes before vote "Are you upset :(" lol. Jess had messaged me telling me to vote for her not Linden, and I was confused because Linden wasn't even a target. Ā I had no idea what to even reply to that, so I ended up ignoring her which I knew was a dumb decision at the time, but I didn't think it would get me a vote out! Also Linus gave me his hotel passes! I feel so bad! Ugh. I honestly think it was a stupid decision to vote me out, but as I said, I wish everyone luck and am excited to be the first member of jury! Cheers to Rhea <3
LINDEN
WHY DOESNT ANYONE COMMUNICATE BUT THIS IS SUCH A WILD RIDE AND EVERYOEN CHANGED THEIR MINDS AT THE LAST MOMENT AHHHH
KATIE
they tried to vote out my best friend so I voted them out!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
and now i have a self vote for looking too pretty and exiled from the chat for being too smart
in 7 days i get my new nose and i bet had i went to the hotel then i wouldnt have gotten a self vote because the mirror would be like wow great nose and not like evil laugh ya know?
JESSICA
All right Ari, here's a confessional!
So yesterday here's what happens. Allyn, Rhea, and Katie tell me Linus is going. I tell Linus immediately. There are no repercussions to this action (suspicious thing #1). Linus and Linden think that the three of us are voting Rhea.
I say wait a minute. Wait a minute. Linus is going to make the vote 3-3? I suggest to him "why don't you try and get Katie, Rhea, and Allyn to split on me and Linden". He says he doesn't think it will work (suspicious thing #2).
So what does this mean? It's going to be 3-3?? Linus is going to tie the vote??? That makes no sense. Where is the math. Where is the common sense! The only reason Linus would actually vote Rhea is if he genuinely thought he was in trouble. And if he genuinely thought that, Linden and I should just vote Linus. My thinking is that Allyn, Rhea, and Katie might be genuine because they want to avoid a tie too, so their best bet is to get at least 4 votes on someone.
I say hey Linden, let's vote Linus and explain the above. She says okay and that she has an idol. I say GREAT don't tell anyone, I think you should play that on yourself. This was Logan's idol from letting the monster out. I figure if Allyn, Linus, and Rhea are being silly and vote for me or Linden, either it will tie 3-3 (and Katie WILL go to rocks for me I know it) or it will be 3-0 because of Linden's idol.
Katie insists that Rhea and Allyn are telling her the truth and are voting Linus. I find this suspicious (suspicious thing #3!!) but she knows more about it than I do so I trust her. I try to get her to vote Allyn but she's like no, I don't think we can do it lets just do Linus so I say all right.
Quick aside. Allyn and Rhea may as well be copying and pasting messages from last round because I'm getting the same unbelievable nonsense that they are voting Linus. It isn't convincing and they both really brush me off and don't give me anything to work with so I just don't buy it but I feel like I have to.
BUT THEN! THESE FOOLS!!!! Rhea tells Katie 1 hour and 15 min before the vote that there's a twist. A twistos twist. She is using an advantage that lets someone from the other team vote at our sea council. She is going to ask Jenna to vote with them and there will be 4 votes for me, 2 votes Rhea (me and Linden), and 1 vote Linus (Katie). Which isn't even right because it would be 3 votes for Linus, so shows how much they know!
Katie immediately calls me and gives me her idol. She says you have to play it they're all voting you and fills me in. She says that Rhea TOLD HER that there is an alliance without Katie and Katie is at the bottom. We can obviously tell Allyn, Jenna, Rhea, and Linus are WAY too close if they are pulling these shenanigans so we decide why don't me and Katie vote for Allyn. We leave Linden's vote on Linus because 1) it will weaken their relationship and 2) in the event Allyn plays an idol or something, Linus will still go home. I told Linden this all happened 5 min before the vote and that I found my idol in the piano in the hotel but other than that, I told her everything honestly. I also told her where the 9 pearls are that I've found in case I somehow still ended up leaving.
The second I played an idol, Linus tells me "it's okay, I know I'm going". And I said sir. SIR. Of course not. And then Allyn left. It was obviously the right move because Linus said Allyn was his closest ally and Rhea quit over it (yes I know she was busy.... but if I had left I doubt she would have quit so). Allyn was not only running everything but she didn't tell me the truth once post-swap so to me, she was not going to be useful at the merge.
Now we're at merge and I'm aligned with Logan, Linden, Marg, and Katie. I don't have any relationship with Linus and want him out right now. Jenna needs to go immediately too because she's clearly running everything. Rose is a good egg and I love her. MJ..... my nemesis.........
That is what's happening here!
JENNA
Me: uses the vote thingy so my old tribe will trust me
Allyn: gets voted out
Rhea: tells Jess i voted her before LEAVING
Don't know what im gonna do now!!!!!! But i found the curse! I have no idea if it will be helpful but I'm glad I did something in the hotel.
MARG
ROSE
this was a really fun challenge! i actually ended up making a whole flow chart for this which took longer than it probably should have! http://prntscr.com/wajlag
JENNA
I am v glad I won immunity cause I know I could've been in trouble. I guess if I could have my way this vote I'd want linden or Jess gone. I'm worried if I get Jess Katie wouldn't work with me anymore but I'm not sure. I think I could convince her Linden is the best to go but also I'm not sure about that either. And then MJ finally comes online and says hes sus about Logan and Marg since they agreed to vote out Jess so fast. He even said he wanted to blindside Marg which I do NOT wanna do. So I have to figure out how to convince him they'd be with us all the while convincing him we are not close. Part of me thinks MJ would just be an easy vote but I don't rly wanna do that. I just don't know if I should tell Katie about the vote... I have zero plans so I'm just lucking I have immunity! Oh also Marg told me about their Idol which is cool. And I know Katie has a self vote against her this round from the hotel which maybe I could use? Part of me is like I could vote with Katie and them but tell the others I was gonna vote her but it'd actually be the self vote against her. I guess eventually I'm gonna have to vote Katie out I just don't know how. Fun times all around
LINUS
Iām not sure what's happening this round, I think thereās a chance I get votes. I would like to see Linden go, sheās not the strategic leader of her alliance I donāt think, but she is a big connecting point for Marg and Logan to want side with Jess/Katie/Linden. Marg is already saying that they Ā donāt feel comfortable telling me too much because Linden said Iām untrustworthy... Which, meh, I guess is kind of true from her perspective, but it is putting a barrier between me and the allies I currently need to be able to make.
Despite Jessā multiple attempts to get me out, I think sheās actually the one I would want to stay the most. But she comes off to me as knowing when to make moves, and also being willing to make short term deals, which are my favourite kind. I donāt think she feels super betrayed by my working with Rhea and Allyn either so I think with her future deals are possible, whereas Katie I canāt trust as far as I can throw so Iād have to be very desperate to make a deal with her, and Linden probably wonāt want to make any deals with me going forward.
This 50/50 coin certainly gives me some options though. I am backed into a corner atm; I have enemies in Katie, Jess, and Linden, am under close scrutiny from Marg, and by extension of those 2 things donāt know how much I can trust Logan. And those are 5 of my 6 favourite people here! I donāt talk to MJ or Rose (I try, but like, itās like talking to a brick wall. They are cool but I think not the most invested in the game). So Jenna is my only real source of information, which sucks because Iām already seen now as a Jenna follower. I am fine with the label in general, I am fairly confident I could beat MJ and Rose at the end with the way things are going, and am not dumb enough to willingly take Jenna to the end with me, but when Jenna is immune that probably makes me the most threatening target of that side.
It is tough because really all the people I like are probably going to be against me other then Jenna (who I can smalltalk with well, but we donāt share a ton of hobbies or anything), and possibly Logan is is a question mark right now for me. But it okay, all I need to do is find code for elevator and I will be golden
JENNA
MJ and Linus want Linden out, Katie and Jess supposedly want Linus out, Marg possibly wants Jess out... a true Shakespearean round. Wait also right after I made this Linus told Katie about wanting Linden out so???????????????????????? And jess said she wants to work with me to save linden so i am v confused. And katie said maybe we should just do linden? and so???????????????
MJ
LINDEN
why does everyone always wanna vote me out? am i a threat or do they just not like me? so many questions
KATIE
I predict that linden will be the first causality of the war which is a shame but Linus going would have made this first battle very boring.... linden however will be the start to something brutal.
also I feel a tad guilty for telling Jenna that Linden plays like she used to because I think it made Jenna reminisce about the good ol days and is now playing harder this round than she was originally going to.
also also I'm the jukebox queen... NOBODY would have thought of those rando wires and YOU ALL KNOW IT!
LINDENāS FINAL WORDS
There's an idol hidden in the ??? room good luck punks. Y'all be hatin (victory)
But I love you all and in the end I made it exactly where I foreshadowed I would!!
For the final premerge episode, the players really went all out to get those OTT edits! After a day off for the winter solstice, they competed in a 24-hour endurance challenge called Weathering The Storm in which they had to respond to a specific emoji posted by the hosts at random times. Neither team had as much fun as the hosts did with this, but Proteus emerged victorious after maintaining and broadening a steady lead through the whole challenge.
Reward was also included in this, with the highest scorer on each team winning, and Jenna was the clear champion here - she scored more than half of her teamās points for the challenge and more than the entire Ceto team put together. This irritated many players and caused many others to purposefully not try to get points so that Jenna would continue to draw ire. Allyn also won reward on Ceto, which was a big character-growth moment after her struggles to feel like she was measuring up in previous challenges.
Amidst all the wave emojis, there were several clandestine swaps going on: Logan sent his idol over to Linden halfway through the challenge when she appeared to be the only one posting for her team, and Katie also later gave her idol to Jessica when the two of them found out the rest of Ceto was plotting to blindside Jess. Additionally, Rhea slipped her Impostor Mask in Jennaās bag when leaving the challenge, giving Jenna the power to sneak into Cetoās Sea Council and anonymously cast a vote for anyone she chose without talking to anyone on that team. Rhea did this in the hopes that Jenna would vote for Jess, but did not leave a note for Jenna, so she had no idea whom it was from or what they intended her to do with it.
Before Sea Council, there was a flurry of last-minute vote switching and plan changing, as the majority debated between Jess and Katie and the minority target went from Rhea to Linus to Allyn. At Council, it was revealed that an anonymous vote had been cast (Jenna ultimately choosing to vote for Jessica), and two idols were played - first Lindenās, then Jessā. While Lindenās play was unsuccessful, Jess canceled out four votes and sent Allyn home 2-1-0.

i like jessica and linus and allyn
i don't know katie or rhea well enough
i miss marg and logan

I think jess is hiding trip info from me and thats very rude because I need to live vicariously through her for when she sets of the curse or whatever
this maze is a maze!!! also you weren't supposed to drink the potions....??
I think I understand the hotel now but I need more time if I want to complete it...
LINDEN
THIS IS THE MOST STRESSFUL 24 HOURE OF MY LIFE Ā
ROSE
what a challenge! i'm so glad we won; jenna really dominated this one
JENNA
Okay so, last vote we voted Alyx cause he just literally was never here. I'm glad Marg finally agreed to it, cause they wanted MJ since MJ was also MIA for awhile. Logan threw a vote on MJ just incase Alyx had another idol so i don't know if MJ is sus now or not. We won the challenge tho which is really nice because i don't know who I would've voted. I could see it possibly ending up going toward me just to be easy too so good to avoid. Logan gave his idol to Linden to hopefully get her to stop trying so freaking hard in the challenge since she was super fast. I don't know if it really helped or not. BUT THEN I got the power to vote at the other council???? It was passed to me from the other team but they didn't leave a note which is not helpful. I'm almost positive it's not from Jess or Linden as I haven't been on a team with them yet. I don't think it'd be from Katie cause 1. she would've left a note and 2. I know she has an idol since she released the monster too so i don't know if she'd even need an extra vote??? I can see if coming from Allyn since we were close.... And i guess I know Allyn would still be working with Rhea. Okay I'm gonna type out my train of thought to help. So there's 6 people on that team. 4 old P 2 old C. Doubtful it'd come from the old C people, since why wouldn't they give it to Logan or Marg. But why would the 4 need an extra vote? so it must be 3-3?? so then I just need to figure out if one of Linus and Katie are with Allyn and Rhea or if it's possibly Jess or Linden? Though I don't see Jess and Linden not working together knowing how Logan and Marg talk about Linden. She seems loyal. I thought Linus would be on the bottom, so he could be working with the other two from old C, but Katie and Jess are friends so i don't know. I'm not gonna vote for Linden no matter what incase she plays an idol, I don't wanna waste my vote in that case.... So either the vote should go towards Katie, Linus, or Jess?? I don't really want to vote for Katie. But what if this is from Linus???? what would that mean???? I still see Rhea and Allyn being together and Jess and Linden so maybe that doesn't change very much???????? I will think on it I guess? But okay what if they want me to be like the only vote if two idols are played??? I guess that doesn't make sense cause if they're planning on two idols just throw a vote? I'll check back in tomorrow with my decision.
JESSICA
I donāt trust any of these sea slugs!! Theyāre all doing the same thing they did last vote aka not talking to me and just saying āthe vote is Linus!āĀ
Linus did make a chat with me and Linden but it honestly could all just be a ruse. I told Katie if itās actually between me and linden to let her stay ā she shouldnāt go home after trying so hard in immunity! Also I feel like Iād only be saved over her because of pregame relationships and thatās not cool.Ā
I told Linden where all the pearls are in the hotel in case I go tonight. Hopefully she can find the last two if Iām gone! Or tell me where they are right now and we can get whatever the power is.Ā
I donāt know what weāll end up doing for the vote. Katie insists that she voted Jessie at the last second still but I donāt think that makes any sense because why would Rhea vote for Linden if she thought Katie was voting Linus? But at the same time, Katie is the person keeping me safe this round so I need her to be willing to do the same for Linden.Ā
Ultimately Iād love for Rhea to go this time because she doesnāt talk to me but I donāt think that will be possible. I think the best method this vote is for me and Linden to vote for Linus with Katie and hope that he actually goes this time. However I will do whatever Linden wants so if sheād rather vote Rhea, Iāll do that!Ā Ā
Also these players are silly if they think anything about their current strategy will keep me and linden loyal at merge... weāre flipping faster than pancakes!!Ā
JENNA
ALLYNāS FINAL WORDS
I was very much blindsided and I am disgustingly sobbing right now. I know itās a game I just wanted to make jury. No hard feelings I just thought I could make it further. Good luck to everyone!
After the high drama of last episode, things calmed down measurably in the next few days, as the players competed in a low-effort reward challenge called Category BlitzĀ where they had to name as many items in a given category as possible within 60 seconds. Due to the lasting effects of Persnickety Peteās challenge, only five people were eligible to play in this one, and they kind of all did pretty terrible - however, Jessica rose to the occasion on Ceto, and MJ barely managed to score a victory on Proteus.
The next immunity challenge was a big one: the infamous Music Video Showdown, which (unbeknownst to the players) was being judged by none other than the creators of The Bridge Podcast themselves! Alex and Rebecca were so delightfully excited to hear about this game, and it was an honor to have them here on our humble blog. We also had two more judges in Survivor: Hephaestus star player Karter and Twitch celeb Jack Connorz, the latter of whom received some pretty hilarious shade from certain newbie players who were unaware of his music video expertise. Both teams made amazing videos, but ultimately Ceto emerged victorious due in large part to Jessicaās stellar editing skills and artistic vision.Ā
At Sea Council, the vote quickly was agreed to be between Alyx and MJ, as both of them had not helped in the immunity challenge and werenāt online for most of the round. MJ did eventually show up and pulled himself out of danger; Alyx unfortunately did not, and became the sixth person voted out of Survivor: Aqualand in a 4-1-1 vote - falling from glory as quickly as he rose to it.
ROSE
what a crazy sea council! i really didn't expect an idol play, but that was a good move on alyx's part. very disappointed that zoe got voted out! we will have to start working harder to make sure that something like this doesn't happen again
JESSICA
bad news: Jessie is gone! good news: Linden is still safe!Ā
I'm a little confused on what happened here because as far as I know, up until right before the council Katie was also voting for Linus. I thought Rhea and Allyn were as well and it was going to be unanimous, but then Katie threw her vote incase of a weird idol once we saw the sapphire idol was played (which I knew was happening). Either Katie is lying and she was always voting Jessie (and they were all splitting votes in case of an idol), or something really weird is happening?? If it wasn't Katie we were talking about, I'd say it is the first one, but like.... it's Katie so I am going to believe her no matter what!Ā
I'm confused with Rhea and Allyn because it's like......... Linus was leaving?? Until Katie switched?? Like as far as they knew, he was going home so why throw votes?? I also would not have been sad if they all said "we're voting Jessie, she is inactive and doesn't talk to us" I just personally would not have done it myself as I'm not voting for an ally. I know I'm just missing something and maybe one of them meant to throw a vote but then both of them did, or because they knew Linus was leaving they decided to throw votes in case of an idol or a Sapphire Idol or whatever. Who knows!Ā
There is also a slight possibility Jessie voted for Linden (and then.... Allyn or Rhea voted for Linus with me, thinking he was going, and the extra vote on Jessie was just to ensure Linden stayed) but I think that is a very strange plot if that's what happened because like....... why??? I also think personally if I was Allyn or Rhea and was orchestrating some big plan, I would have targetted me over Jessie because they all know I have friends in this game. I haven't hidden that I know Katie, MJ, Logan, or Jenna (I do also know Jessie, Zoe, and Allyn but two of them are now out and I've never played with any of them, so to me that's not as big a deal). So like.... idk maybe they were just like "eh we like Jess, lets take out Jessie as she is inactive". There is also the potential that someone took the vote penalties, however I don't think that happened. The only way that works is if someone did what Linden did and took both the no-vote at council AND the auto-vote against and I don't see why Jessie would have done that.Ā
If I'm out next I simply do not care as my goal in every game is 12th place (my worst ever) and I have already accomplished that, however I don't really think I'm out next. Katie has an idol that we can use and hopefully, people like me more than they like Linus so he can be outta here!
Also while I'm sad to lose Jessie and Zoe, I'm happy to keep playing with people who I don't know. I feel like it's more fun that way!
LINUS
Despite my lack of alliances, I think Iām actually doing decently in terms of 1 on 1 duoships or whatnot. People donāt realize Iām close with Rhea, and so Iām finding out info from there, and I donāt āthinkā people donāt realize Iām as close with Allyn as I am. The potential is also there to work with Linden. Iāll obviously ask Allyn if Linden did know all day that I was getting votes, but she swears she didnāt know anything until right near the end. Even if she did know voting out Jessie was a defensive move on my part and I think I can play somewhat dumb so that is still salvageable at merge possiblyĀ
I think the vote ended up on me specifically because Jessica thought people had little 1 on 1 connection with me, but in a really weird twist of fate I think I was actually a bad choice in target because I have 2 duos and she would have had to flip at least one of them. If Linden has really pushed for it I might have been very hesitantly open to a Katie vote because I wasnāt completely sure were her head was at, and I donāt think Rhea fully trusts the proteus girls or else she wouldnāt have leaked anything to me, so Katie might have been the best choice in target if they had perfect knowledge of relationships. With that said of course Iām now indebted to all 3 of the proteus girls so I will be hard against a Katie play now if Jessica tries to do that. I think the other thing that was overestimated was pre-existing friendships. My understanding is that Jessica is good friends with Allyn, and friends with Katie so she might have been trying to bank on that as a reason not to vote Katie. I did massive a big stroke of luck this round that Katie and Allyn are playing to some extent like itās a fresh game and not instantly siding with her.Ā
Then also rip Zoe. In the first council I was at Zoe and Allyn were the only 2 to tell me about the Alex vote more than half an hour before the deadline. I think more people would tell me sooner now of course, but I certainly would have liked to have Zoe at merge because she showed a willingness to include me even when there was a rumour that I was a duo with Alex.
JENNA
Also i don't know where Alyx or MJ is for this challenge and like Alyx it's whatever dig your own grave but MJ really should at least do something smh
LINDEN
We definitely deserved that win for the video!! We all worked so hard and really did have a lot of fun with it- even if that one judge doesn't think so! It was so silly and it's the first time in a while I've put myself out there in a weird way so I liked it. If we lost I wouldn't have even known who to try to vote for!!!
ALLYN
Love everyone on our team and I already know next council is gonna be ROUGH. Ā This is messed up, but I would kinda like to volunteer to be voted out next council? Love the game! Ā Love the hosts! Love everyone, that's the problem though :( I just want to make it easier on everyone, and I know myself enough that this game does not cater to my personality; in the way of lying, voting people out, even being good at challenges! Ā I am basically saying I know I won't make it too far past merge, though I am still striving for that. Ā Uhh that's it. Ā I apologize for this honest confessional. <3 Ā
MARG
Ok, I've been meaning to write a confessional for about 5 days/whenever the last vote was, so here it is!!! A lot has happened in those days!! First, Alyx played his immunity idol at the last vote and him, Logan, and I voted Zoe out of the game! I really do feel like this vote was my move because Alyx chose to confide in me about his idol and I was able to bring him and Logan together for the vote. I was sad that we voted Zoe out, just because we really started to hit it off a couple hours before the vote. I feel like I could have worked with her, but it was too late and the vote was set :( also, I still don't understand all of the preexisting relationships in the game, and Logan told me she was well connected so I went with it. idk, someone had to go. sea council was dramatic and exciting and fun for me. Ā Ā
We were given the music video challenge for the immunity challenge this week. i personally am a big fan of creative challenges. i know they are a lot of work, but they are way more fun than just playing a flash game. i like being weird and creative. Our team made a video to a pop/punk cover of Under the Sea. It was so much fun to brainstorm and create the video with everyone!! I got to be the extra, attention-seeking person I am, and dress up as a sea witch and lip sync in the shower. It was a fun time. I was so so proud of the video we created, but we still lost the immunity challenge!! How!?!?! I liked our video better and I felt like the fun energy we had making it shone through :( i was sad we lostĀ
For the vote, Jenna, Rose, Logan, and I all agreed to not vote each other because we were the only ones from our team who worked on the music video. After that, it was a lot of waiting to see who would cave to vote out the person from their starting team. It was really, really frustrating because Alyx and MJ were both MIA basically from Thursday to Sunday. I really did not want to be the one to cave, because I wanted to keep Alyx. I feel that I have been working all game to develop a relationship with him, making sure that I reach out to him every day and protecting him in multiple votes. I felt that he was someone I could count on to be with me, because we both seemed less connected than other people in the game. But, he just hasn't been online at all in the past few days. I reached out to him and asked him to talk to Rose and Jenna about the vote, but he just hasn't been online today leading up to the vote. As much as I want him to survive this vote, I can't do it on my own. He needs to put some work in to save himself too. MJ was online more than Alyx today. I eventually agreed to vote out Alyx and keep MJ so that Jenna and Rose would see that I'm willing to work with them and compromise. I didn't want to seem too rigid or inflexible. I hope that this vote builds some trust and we can work together in the merge!! I'm really sad that I'm losing Alyx tonight, and I'm worried what that means for me long term in this game, but I need allies who are online and can be reliable. I'm also going to hopefully chat up MJ a bit and start working on building a relationship in the game.Ā
Right now, I feel closest to Logan and Jenna. I think I'm going to have to choose between them eventually, and I'm scared for that to happen. I feel okish with Rose? I'm losing Alyx tonight. I'm working on getting to know MJ better. That's were I stand in the game right now. Wow this was a long confessional! ok, bye :)
JESSICA
Ahhh we won immunity! My hard work paid off. I love that the judges were from the actual podcast (that's so cool?!?!) and that they loved the work everyone did. The other team actually did a great job too! I think if they'd had more people participating they would have maybeeee won? But they didn't so we won and now I'm safe :) Also thank you to Jack for saying my editing was 10/10!Ā
I hope we merge next as I am not prepared for another voting council with this team. Rhea and Allyn basically didn't talk to me at all after the last vote so I don't trust them at all. Katie is Katie, the love of my life. Linden is a gem and I guess I trust Linus because I have to! Can't wait for merge where I can be reunited with my chaos buddy Logan.
ALYXāS FINAL WORDS
I am THE smartest here, THE most powerful, THE most legendary, THE most dynamic player this game will see. I already know whoās going to be voted out before they do, I am all seeing, omniscient, omnipresent, all powerful. I am the closest thing to perfection the human race has seen. No one here will ever be able to vote me out, NO ONE. accept this.
Immediately after Sea Council, the castaways were given their next reward challenge - a mythological Wikipedia raceĀ which Rose and Linden would eventually win - along with a TEAM SWAP ANNOUNCEMENT! Everyone was added to a joint chat, at which point they could speak with anyone in the game until the teams were divided via a schoolyard pick, with the team captains chosen by MJ because he intercepted a signal from the watchtower shortly beforehand. The choices were made very quickly, and our new teams were [MJ, Logan, Jenna, Marg, Rose, Alyx and Zoe] on New Proteus versus [Jessica, Katie, Linden, Rhea, Jessie, Linus, and Allyn] on New Ceto, picked in that order.
A few hours into getting settled onto these new teams, Logan decided to mosey down to Submere 3 and let out Proteusā monster.Ā He was warned that this would be made public to the team yet still proceeded anyway... and was rewarded with a hidden immunity idol but punished by sending his team automatically to Sea Council. He was told this decision would be posted after the immunity challenge.
Meanwhile on Ceto, Katie made the same choice just a few hours later - which meant she also got an idol, and also sent Ceto to Sea Council, thus triggering a Double Sea Council round where only one was originally planned.Ā
To make this all the more delicious, this roundās immunity was a temptations challenge, in which each player had to decide whether to follow the instructions of Persnickety Pete to give up powers in the game in order to win points and keep their team safe. (Contrary to Katieās speculations within her alliance chat, this was in fact the original planned challenge for this round, not specially chosen because of the monsters.) With about half of each team having been informed about the automatic Council, most players did not give much up, although Rose went almost all in on Proteus and Linden went rather OTT on Ceto firmly believing that everyone else was going to take all the temptations alongside her.
After the reveal of the monstersā double release, almost everyone in the game was exiled from the team chats and unable to communicate with each other for 5 hours, as for some reason this was the one temptation everyone wanted. After the time-out was up, however, plans began quickly coming together on both sides to shift votes onto the outliers, which meant Alyx/Rose on Proteus and Linus/Jessie on Ceto. For the latter, there didnāt seem to be much to do besides campaign against one another at the mercy of the majority vote; however, on Proteus, Alyx had a couple tricks up his sleeve. Thanks to a newly forged alliance with Logan & Marg as well as his discovery of a Sapphire Idol in suite 2D at the Hotel, the idoled-up threesome were able to concoct a plan to make sure the majority votes were split between Alyx and Rose, so that those two would be saved by the Sapphire Idol and could decide who went home with a minority vote.
Due to their poorer performance in the immunity challenge, Proteus went to Sea Council first, where Rose had an extra vote cast against her from Persnickety Pete, six out of seven players had their vote publicly revealed (good thing Marg kept theirs secret!), and Alyx went through with his plan to play his Sapphire Idol, sending Zoe home in a 4-3-1 turned 1-0-0 vote.
At Cetoās Sea Council, things were a bit less spicy, but not by much. The votes ended up being incredibly close, with Jessie being sent to walk the plank in a 3-2-2 vote.Ā
LINDEN
Uhhhh it's super awkward when you definitely probably know who voted for you at Seat Council. Guess I know where I'll be voting next time maybe?
[HOST NOTE: It was Pat. The person who got voted out. There was one vote for Linden and the rest were for Pat.]
I love my new team! I'm ready to have more active teammates who will be more involved in things. I hope we can get along well and not have too many issues with old alliances and the sort. Or maybe we can and make it more dramatic!? Who knows!
RHEA
my life is in katies hands
also i have an idol lol but i seem to be like way worse at searching than like other people so like how many people have an idol?? whats the tea
JENNA
I'll do a quick written confessional rn. At surface level I'm happy with the swap. But I think I'd feel safer if I was with Katie. I'm soooo glad I'm with Logan, but I'm worried we're gonna be targeted. I know MJ could easily flip the team on us for being close. And Zoe would most likely follow. But Hopefully that won't happen. I would love to stick with MJ. I'm not sure where Logan stands with everything, so right now my closes people would be Katie, MJ, and probably Allyn. Logan is working with Marg and I don't mind trying to work with them, so I'm trying to talk to them a bit. Zoe still isn't super responsive so not sure where we stand, but as long as MJ doesn't decide to go against me and Logan it should be okay. I hope Katie is okay on the other team. I'm assuming Jess will work with her. Anyway, gonna see what Logan has found in the hotel later and prob share with MJ so he knows I'm not just gonna ditch him for Logan.
KATIE
Yay: Jess is here! Cries in the club: Jenna is gone.
MARG
i really am just having so much fun in my first ever org. my heart is full trying something new <3 lot's has changed since my last confessional. a swap happened!!! i am now on Proteus with MJ, Logan, Jenna, Rose, Alyx, and Zoe. i was a little nervous going into the swap just because i don't know anyone, but i'm actually feeling ok! both Alyx AND Logan found idols in the past 24 hours which is WILD. i feel great knowing that all three of us have something and i feel a sense of security knowing where stuff is. i'm not sure how many advantages Ari put into the game, but i feel like there shouldn't be many more idols than that?? 3 feels like a lot. ANYWAYS, literally all three of us from Ceto have idols, so i'm feeling ok right now! Alyx and Logan both only told me about their idols too, so i feel like i'm in a good spot between the two of them. i made an alliance chat for the three of us and i am trying to bring the two of them together. hopefully it works and we can figure something out whenever we go to sea council next!! i'm also trying to branch out and meet everyone from the original Proteus team. i really am loving meeting everyone and getting to know each other! i have talked to Jenna the most out of the people new to me. she's really easy to talk to, and i would love to work with her! i hope we can make it happen. i think it would be fun, and i'm here for fun!!! my biggest fear in this game is being delusional or not really understanding what is going on. i think i have some agency in the game and don't just follow people who have played in orgs a bunch??? i want to have a mind of my own and play to win. i think i'm doing that? i hope i'm doing that? i'm really just trying to focus on social bonds so that people want to work with me. gosh i just reread everything and i sound so optimistic. i'm ending this confessional before something bad happens. bye!
JESSICA
I know we have already lost this challenge because Katie let the monster out. Tempted to take an auto self vote so I can avoid the drama..... but I know people would find this SUSPICIOUS!
LINDEN
I really hope I can convince everyone to go along with the wild plan to take all the options. Allyn, Katie, and I have all said yes for sure in one on one chats! Linus and Jessica are both maybes and Jessie is also hesitant. Rhea is very busy with her mouth but I really think we should go for it!!! I just have to get everyone to trust one another for a brief moment.
JESSICA
The number of times I have googled "aquaman" while trying to visit this blog is astounding. Anyways... I love Linden that is it that is all that is the confessional. I saw this challenge (and the option to self vote??? Amazing) and I didn't take it because I was like oh no, Jessie and Linden need me and I can't risk them going home. I come back and Linden has said don't worry, I took every single thing because I think it's funny. I could never achieve this level of being iconic.Ā
I think what actually happened is Katie told everyone on her side we automatically are losing so none of them are going to take anything. That's fine by me honestly! If Linden is self-voting, I think I will make this go to rocks. But not just any rocks..... I think I'm gonna try and do this:
- me, Jessie, Linus: vote Katie - Katie, Allyn, Rhea: vote me
- Linden: is not voting at all
Then if it ties, Katie and I are safe from rocks and everyone else does it. This seems really fun so I hope it works. However, I think Linus might mess up a plan like this so who knows what will happen.Ā
LINDEN
I TOOK ALL THESE DOWNSIDES FOR N O T H I N G /flips table
ROSE
i can't believe both monsters got out and i hope it was NOT intentional bc if it *was* logan has a LOT to answer for! this was very unexpected and i'm definitely a little worried about whether i gave too much up in this challenge. our team only got 18 points, which means that some of us did NOT make the sacrifices we all agreed upon
KATIE
Episode Title: She Did The Monster MashĀ
I released the monster and I would do it again and again and again!!!!!! I found out Rhea has the missing mask and can mutiny after sea council... I had a plan to take said mask and jump to the other team to then release their monster, but no such luck because LOGAN LET IT GO!!!!!!!!Ā
I am also the holder of all pearl information and am excited to watch who unleashes the curse first-- its between Jess or Jenna... I don't really do reward challenges unless I get to draw a picture so I know I wont have enough hotel trips to figure out the curse myself so now I watch and wait. Someone has the f5 item from the vending machine and I am being CONSTANTLY LIED TO about who has it... thats my next goalĀ
I tried to tell my old team members not to give anything up but nobody listened and now I'm the only person not exiled and alone in the team chat. It's amazing~
JESSIE
BAM TEAM SWAP SCHOOL YARD PICK SHOOOKĀ
That's right. I was shook. I was also almost picked last which I don't know how to feel about. At least I ended up on the team I wanted to be on. Jessica, Linden and me are hoping we can snatch up Linus because apparently he was in the minority on the other team and Linus passed my vibe check so I am fine with that. Us Canadians must stick together ? Yeah that sounds good I kind of Ā like the sound of that lol.Ā
Anyways I did not take all the punishments for this round and no regrets because both teams lost. Katie let pancakes free of course Pancakes was going to cause some trouble. So we go to council tomorrow most people have punishments so I should be okay this round. The public vote? Not as scary as not getting a vote or getting an extra vote to your name. I can do damage control if need to. I just got to believe in myself.Ā
*insert some quote about hope and despair from danganronpa*Ā
I will also be staying up so I can start strategizing when we all get added back to the chat after this lovely chat exile break. Anyways at this point I will probably be voting Rhea due to lack of bonding but who knows what plans later tonight or tomorrow will bring? I sure don't know. But I am ready. Bring on the chaos <3
JENNA
So I actually meant to talk about something else in this confessional but I'm dumb and forgot about it so I'll type it out. Playing with Logan reminded me to chill out a little more and have more fun and not take everything too seriously. I remember this book I was reading where this team did something that would make them lose for sure but then they would learn from it, and if you're not willing to take risks and go outside of your comfort zone and fail then you're never going to grow as a person. You're not gonna win all the time because if you do you never actually learn all that you can and so I wanna have fun and cause chaos and not be afraid to lose because I'm growing and that's good! Life is a lot more fun if you're not focused on being the best and just having a good time with good people and taking steps in the right direction. Eventually you become the best anyway, so I'm really glad Logan helped put that in perspective. I'm still gonna try! But I wanna take more risks, like releasing that curse! Maybe the game will be harder but I'll be having fun on the way.
ALLYN
Team switch is actually going okay! I am still with Rhea and Linus who are my number 1 and 2, and Katie is being trustworthy at the moment so that is good. Ā I am also with Jessica, who I've been friends with for 6 years and I definitely want to align with her eventually (she's a beast in person and in Survivor), it's just I don't know why she doesn't want Jessie out. Ā I'm hoping telling her to go for Linus won't hurt us in the long run, because she is definitely a person I want to work with. Ā Katie is controlling and mean (sorry, just what I have witnessed) and she's good for our votes at the moment, but I definitely want her out soon. Ā She completely ignored my all my ideas and input on the rule making challenge, and it was just not very fun to work with her. Ā (Jenna has confirmed, wanted to make sure I wasn't crazy) Ā Linden is so sweet and I love her, (we are Bellingham buddies and I wish she still lived here) I just don't think the numbers are there for her to stay too much longer :( Pretty sure we're all good for Jessie to go tonight!
ZOEāS FINAL WORDS
nice meeting you all <3 lots of love, no hard feelings.
JESSIEāS FINAL WORDS
I had a lot of fun this season and Iām glad I played ! Good luck to everyone left :)
For their next reward challenge, the castaways were given a cute flash game! Zoe and Rose won for Proteus, and Marg and Pat won for Ceto, which was quite fortunate for them because the Hotel was finally being utilized by almost every player in the game. Adding to her collection of fabulous prizes, Rhea successfully unlocked the Proteus hidden immunity idol by figuring out which vial of liquid to pour on the locked box in the cabinet of the secret room; meanwhile, others were coming across many Black Pearls (which were useless on their own but could unlock a curse if the whole set was found).
At the immunity challenge, four members of each team worked together in a Codenames-inspired challenge where they had to make up rules with which to have one dispatcher send secret messages to the other players. The dispatchers also had the opportunity to try and sabotage the other team by using the partial rules they were given from those teams. Both Proteus and Ceto had unique strategies for this, and ultimately the challenge resulted in a tie which was only broken by a tiebreaker question which MJ got correct for Proteus, earning them safety.
Immediately after the immunity challenge concluded, it was announced that JD was being medically evacuated from the game to inactivity, but that the round would continue as planned, meaning Ceto would be losing an additional member and sending themselves down two players to Proteusā eight members. At first it appeared that Alyx would be the vote, but after some smart social maneuvering on his part and Patās failure to show up, Pat was voted out unanimously 6-1.
ROSE
i feel bad that alex got voted out; it's never a good feeling to be the first one voted out on your team especially when you *have* been engaging with everyone and have been an asset in challenges. at the same time though, i think he could have posed a pretty big threat later on and i think it wasn't a great move to target allyn so quickly, and that ended up costing him the game
LINDEN
what the hecc do be going on?? i didn't expect us to win the last immunity challenge at all because we have absent team members! i'm glad it worked out and that those of us who are around are sticking together. it's weird knowing most of us are in an alliance and also in an alliance within an alliance.Ā
i'm not entirely sure who i trust the most- a lot of people came to me right away and i'm assuming its because i'm new? i know jessica got some cool stuff during her time in the hotel, so fingers crossed she actually shared all her info with me. i don't want to step on any toes- i want to befriend everyone and stay on good sides for as long as possible. i don't trust logan even though he's chill and i'm in an alliance with him simply because i'm sure he's trying to gain tons of trust. marg i do think is an innocent bab. jessie and jessica are middle ground... for now.
JESSICA
So far, so great in this game. I told Logan basically everything I found in my adventures because I figured this is the kind of idol system that goes better when you work together. I also told Jessie, Linden, and Marg a bit about what I've been finding so that they all feel I trust them. I didn't tell them where I found every pearl though, just things like "oh, the vending machine doesn't work" and "look out for this kind of clue". I get the sense we may swap soon. I hope that we win this immunity, lose the next (bye JD!) and then swap at 14. I need to talk to Pat and Alyx more but honestly if we swap, I don't think I'll stick with them. They're both too inactive to really be good allies long term.
smart people: keep their relationships a secret, don't reveal information, try to keep things close to the chestĀ
me to linden and marg: ....and THIS is the time I played with MJ for the third time, and here is exactly how Katie always plays, and also Jenna's entire game history as well as every alliance she's ever had...... yes i DO know Logan from before this game!Ā
I figured it's no fun when friends keep things a secret, so now they know all the secrets! And can make decisions accordingly.
MARG
wooo confessional!!! I'm one week into my first ever org on the internet and i am in too deep. JD, the only person I knew coming into this game, has been removed because he was inactive for too many days and now i'm sad :( i have started building relationships with the folks on my team and Jess and Logan each gave me the scoop on who knows each other in the cast which will be v helpful in the game! I have also reached out to Jessie since she also knows ppl to see how much information she will give me. tbh, WHAT info Jess and Logan have given me (and the fact that they reached out at all to tell me what is really going on) has given me a lot of insight into the social dynamics of the game, and where they both fall within it. hopefully now i'm not flying blind and can actually get my footing in the game. I have drawn a chart of how everyone knows each other which i have sent to Ari and Josh (for fun). I am feeling ok despite being behind by about 5 years in building relationships because there are ppl who want to work with me. AND ... drumroll ... I found the hidden immunity idol!!! I cannot believe that little old me, the org rookie, found the idol before anyone else!! I love me a good escape room (which is exactly what the hotel is) hopefully this gives me the runway i need to keep moving through this game. I'm a little nervous about knowing what to do with it, but I'm planning to keep my cards close to my chest. I really do not think anyone would expect me to have it because I am so new and unknown, so i'm excited to see what happens next! ANYWAYS, that's my confessional, i hope you enjoyed and hopefully you hear from me again in a couple days! Wooooo! bye.
LINDEN
god i'm so glad i got to sit out this last challenge. i know i would've dragged us down and i think my teammates did great because we straight up only won on a random guess at the end. i just hope they don't think poorly of me because i said i couldn't do it!! i'm so proud of them all
ZOE
JENNA
Also I feel so behind everyone with this hotel. I don't know if that's a good thing or a bad thing, but that's just the life I live.
LINDEN
why hosts mean and med evac person right before we could vote them out rip
JESSIE
We just did this dispatcher challenge thingy. Nobody on my team was volunteering to take the fourth spot for our team so I just went for it. We lost in a tiebreaker which was big sad. We were so close.Ā
JD got removed from inactivity which I was fine with because I only had a convo with him early the second day and it was basic so I would of voted him out at tribal anyways lol.Ā
My alliance went back and forth on who we wanted to vote out but we settled on Pat. Mostly because Alyx had actually had communication with people.
ROSE
i'm proud of our team for winning that challenge (especially the tiebreaker, thanks mj!)! it kinda sucks for ceto since they just had someone evacuated and now they have to vote another person off, but at the same time i'm relieved bc i still don't really have anyone in mind that i would want to vote out!
PATāS FINAL WORDS
This is a great group of people youāre all so nice. I hope you all go on and make it far together. I was honestly gassed out from my last game and just couldnāt get back into the groove of things. Nothing but love and respect

EPISODE 2: Much To Ponder, Many Thoughts Being Had
After the first Sea Council, the castaways were given their first reward challenge, in which they were tasked with completing a jigsaw puzzle. The two people who did the best on each team - Jenna and Rose on Proteus, Jessica and Linden on Ceto - were given an additional Hotel reservation to use whenever they wanted, on top of the three vouchers that each castaway was given at the start of this round to ration out how they wished.
Additionally, since Jenna got the overall best score in the challenge, she was privately given the opportunity to switches places permanently with the highest scorer from the opposite team, which was Jessica. Jenna considered this but ultimately decided not to make the swap. Meanwhile on Ceto, Marg took a leisurely stroll through the Transcontinental Hotel and figured out how to fish a hidden immunity idol out of the vending machine.
At the second immunity challenge, which was a relay race to fix up their watchtowers, both teams finished within the first two hours of the challenge post. Ceto won by a narrow margin of 1 minute, 11.1 seconds, helped in part by the fact that Proteus had two team members (Jenna and Alex) who received disadvantages due to their actions in the Hotel.
After a somewhat #messy day of strategizing at Proteus, Alex was voted out 8-1 and became the second player of Survivor: Aqualand to sleep with the fishes.
ALYX
hi everyone <3 my first confessional, exciting stuff oo. meeting everyone was fun! got the chance to at least say hi to most ppl, sorry danny. but yeah got all the introductions done with and then it was basically time for council which I wasn't super worried about cause it was seeming like danny hadn't talked to anyone and then danny came into team chat and was like yeah vote me i haven't talked to anyone. so it was an easy peasy vote for sureee. the next two might be easy as well with those two self voters. atm i like marg a lot they were saying we should stick together and we shared info on the hotel layout and things like that. haven't told them about me finding the IDOL CLUE tee hee, that one's just for me sorry!!! im kinda dumb though cause it was saying don't go left or right and im like ok... but where?? in the hotel?? cause i did that but im guessing there's lots of places to go straight mmmm also i cant win myself another trip into the hotel cause i lost my ability to participate in this reward challenge, but maybe heading into the hotel with my 2nd free trip to see if i can figure out where this clue is leading me would be a good thing mmm and then keeping one spare for emergencies and trying to win my way in for my next trips mm m mm m mm much to think about here mmm much to ponder many thoughts being had many many thoughts. but rn im just gonna chill, talk to my tribies some more and hope we win immunity or just we dont win immunity and boot one of those self voters. already thinking maybe i'll be villainous in this game mwahahahaha
KATIE
katie jakey and sharifa from 4 years ago are yelling at me right now for my alliance with jenna... but we're working together really well so FOOL ME TWICE! ....also how has jess not released their monster yet?
JESSICA
I hope that if we lose, JD doesn't show up so there isn't a council. I also hope that we swap after this so I can meet some new people!
LINDEN
Timezones SUCK but I really like my teammates they are all kind and accepting
ALEX
I'm kinda sad that we didn't win today's challenge-- I thought we did really well! But I guess Ceto probably had an advantage. I just hope I don't get voted out tomorrow :(
JENNA
Since this I got a clue from the watch tower that said IF YOU'VE HAD NO LUCK DON'T FEEL BLUE THE PLACE YOU SEEK IS HIDDEN FROM VIEW LEFT AND RIGHT AND DOWN THE STAIRS JUST BECAUSE YOU DON'T SEE DOESN'T MEAN IT'S NOT THEREĀ
Ā Which Katie already told me about this secret room but what if the don't feel blue means something with the drinks???? But what does it mean??? I don't wanna get another disadvantage ugh.Ā
Okay I'm sorry I have to write more cause my brain in my brain. Anyway Allyn just told me she trusts me and Rhea the most and wants to be f3 with us. Which is great but fast but whatever I like Allyn. I also feel like I can trust her cause she seems super sweet and genuine. Now I trust Zoe a little less because Katie said Zoe told her she went to the secret room. BUT if that's true, Zoe did not tell me that, even though Zoe said I was her closest person I think. I've tried to talk about the hotel but she never says anything to it. BUT Allyn didn't either. I'll have to see what she says now I guess. AND THEN Katie obviously kept some stuff about the hotel from me. Which to be fair I kept something from her too, but she was like "oh the books" and I was like uh??? what books??? I'm just worried she's keeping other things. She said she's telling everyone she hasn't been in the Hotel so who knows. I wouldn't vote her out like I said, but I'm just a paranoid person. ALSO I am v worried because in past games I get too close to ppl and ppl like me and then they hate me once it's like final 7 because I have to vote them out. And LInus said I was the most active here so everyone probably liked me, so if I make it far that is going to not be good I didn't wanna do that again. BUT I don't know if I will make merge cause in my opinion I am doing too much. I think Zoe or Linus or Katie will take me out before merge because I'm a threat. So you ask, Jenna, why not vote one of them out this time? To which I say !!!!! I !!!! AM !!!! DUMB !!!!! also I like them and I don't wanna. Also I do like Alex and I think he's telling me a lot and I think he really does trust me, BUT he's not telling me enough. He's the type of person who'd tell me he had an idol 5 minutes before council. Which I mean he'd tell me, but it's just too late sometimes. I just think he's too much of a wild card and trying too hard, which to be fair I am clearly trying hard too so ????? i don't know man. I'm not good at voting people off I like people too much for this.Ā
Ā Also this is me and Logan:
ALLYN
This is stupid and I'm sad :( Love pretty much everyone and I wish we had a little more time before first council to talk more! Okay 1) Made an alliance on day one with Zoe and Jenna, love them they're great and totally would fight demons for them. Ā (they are the ones who told me about Alex ty) We also have current plans to make an all girls alliance, minus Rose at the moment. 2) Rhea is the best, she's my total number one and we are basically in a two person alliance. She sends me screenshots of Alex Tea. 3) Katie is lovely, probs gonna buy art from her. 4) Excited to talk to MJ more, would also go to the end with him. 5) Rose is new to the game, not totally sure about her yet but excited to find out more, and we bonded over being bad at talking to people. 6)Linus is Canadian and great, we bonded over his cousin living where I do! May have totally messed up with him by accidentally telling him if he's cool with blindsiding Alex, total my bad. Ā I got excited that he was being nice and I forgot that people can LIE. But hopefully he is not, I'd also go to the end with him. So we'll see. (also we didn't even need his vote so why the HECK did I say that ugh). 7) Alex what the heckle!!! Why you gotta go for me first? I know I did the worst at the puzzle and that puts a target on me but you didn't do so hot either! Ā We needed a person to sit out for the challenge, school is a top priority for me so I volunteered. Ā Then you used my short (compared to everyone else's) absence to tell everyone to vote for me so I couldn't defend myself. Ā Anyway. Hope I didn't royally screw up with Linus and Alex goes home tomorrow cause that's my vote. Ā Everyone I've talked to seems on board so that's potentially good. Ā My literal goal with this game is to either be voted out first so I'm not too invested or make it to jury. Ā Also it would be nice to get top 3 in literally ANY challenge. Ā
ROSE
wow, i honestly was expecting a win since this team works so well together! itās going to be really hard to decide who i want to be voted out because i think we all get along really well and no one seems to really be slacking!
JENNA
How come Zoe and Rhea are telling Katie what they found in the Hotel!? Why won't ppl tell me I wanna know!!!!!!!!!!
ALYX
one day im gonna slap the shit out of that monster
JESSIE
Wow the more inactive people showed up for the challenge! Well Pat did we kept handing tools back and forth. That was basically my only experience with him. We won immunity so I get to bond with my cute five person alliance more. We joke about Sporks and we bond over our love of Pancakes who likes Kelp! (Good monster you pop off with those healthy eating habits)
MJ
plan is to vote for alex tonight i don't really care if any idols or advantages come out. i tried talking to some people today and being friendly and then discussing the vote and basically what i've gotten is that some people were annoyed by or frustrated with alex for whatever reasons and that alex had thrown out allyn's name for sea council. jenna told me my name came up at one point for being inactive but i think i've remedied that now, hopefully. in the alex vs allyn debate nobody seems to want allyn out which is great bc i'd like to work with allyn. rose was easy to talk to but out conversation never fully went anywhere weirdly?? idk. also ppl are concerned alex/linus are close or something which is ??? i also don't really care lol... anyway everything should be fine i guess and if not then that's fine too so yeah everything will be fine
JENNA
I feel bad voting Alex out :/. Also I think it'd not smart to not tell Linus about it. But I don't want it getting back to Alex so whatever. Tbh it makes me sad now to be deceptive which is making it hard to play this game cause I can't really go around telling everyone everything. I also don't know why Zoe and Rhea wont tell me what they're telling Katie about the Hotel. And I don't know why Allyn wont tell me anything about the hotel either if she said she wanted to be final three with me and Rhea. I'm just trying to chill even though I wanna be messaging everyone incessantly. And i don't know what I'm gonna tell Linus after the vote.... I just wish I knew if I could forsure trust any of these people, because it makes me sad second guessing I guess. Me: A sad vibe. Also I think eventually I'm gonna ask Katie about Lost City because it's bothering me. Also I'm gonna be MIA the hour before council and a few hours after which is SCARY. Alright that's it.
ALEXāS FINAL WORDS
Don't mind me, I'm just being BITTER because the one time I'm intimidating is one of the few times that I don't want to be. I'm a 20 year old insomniac, and I look like a 10 year old. I still think it would have benefitted them more to keep me on for team challenges. C'est la vie, I guess. They might live to regret it.
In the season premiere of Survivor: Aqualand, eighteen castaways were dropped off along the abandoned expanse of the Transcontinental Bridge - a place haunted by old legends, unsolved mysteries, and the treacherous power of the sea.Ā
After being divided into teams (Proteus and Ceto), the castaways were introduced to two main twists of the game. First, the Transatlantic Hotel, which they would be allowed to visit throughout the season in order to search for hidden immunity idols and other advantages. Each player was given a 15-minute Hotel trip for this first round of the game, with future opportunities to earn additional time to explore. Additionally, the castaways were told that at random times they could spot signals going out from the top of their watchtower (a page on the blog), and that the first person to catch such a signal would receive a clue to the hotelās treasures.
The second twist introduced was the Monster in the Submeres, which each team would have to adapt and respond to throughout the game. Twice per round, this monster would become restless, and the teams would have to decide together whether to feed, punish, or ignore their monster, with each action having an unnamed consequence.
Once they settled into their watchtowers and gotten to know their monsters, Proteus and Ceto were given their first immunity challenge where they had to each come up with a bedtime story to be judged by a panel of listeners. Though both teams put in a huge effort and worked together well, they had vastly different aesthetic visions, and ultimately the listeners favored Proteusā bone-chilling tale over Cetoās cozy picture book.
At the first Sea Council, Daniel was voted out 6-2-1, becoming the first person eliminated from Survivor: Aqualand.
JESSICA
The game has not even started yet but I am already so excited. I hope Logan and MJ are in this cast so all 3 of us can cause problems together but also apart. I think this season will have very old-school vibes. Like a lot of people being very invested but also being very silly. I think I might try to be a mid-merge boot and play very aggressively the entire time and have a lot of fun. I am pretty sure Lydia is in this game and Ari is splitting us up....... very unfair and I would like to request this please not happen thank you.
ALEX
The people I've been talking to one-on-one seem really nice so far! We've only really talked about the cats I live with, but that's okay, because they're wonderful cats, and they're the only things I can talk about pretty much nonstop! :)
JESSICA
5 seconds into the game and I already have a f2 with Logan and Jessie. And Katie, but she doesn't know about that (yet at the same time.... she does). This will be the game where MJ and I, at long last, align. I know it and it will happen and it will be great.
KATIE
this challenge is going swimmingly... I made spooky boats
ALEX
I got an incoming signal! I'm hoping to explore the hotel soon, so that I can maybe go search for an idol :)
MARG
ok wow! i'm here! this is my first ever org ever!!! wooooo! i've spent the past couple of days getting to know everyone on my team and getting a feel for the game. i was pretty nervous going into the game because i figured that i would not know anyone. i was so happy when i saw that JD was also on my team because i actually know him through the Sequester world!! hopefully no one realizes that we know each other... i've spent some time messaging with other folks on my team too! So far i feel the best about Logan, Jessica, Linden and Jessie. they've been the easiest to talk to and I also feel like we were the ones working on the first immunity challenge the most. i really like Linden so far! this is both our first org and i think we're going to look out for each other. in general, i just like her vibe and i just want to work with her! i did have one prettyyyy awkward encounter with daniel in the group chat about connecticut facts. i think i stole his thunder because i shared a fun fact about ct??? and then i think he felt called out/put on the spot when i said he should share one too. idk that's the only awkward thing that has happened so far. hopefully we can patch up this one faux pas! ANYWAYS, this has been my first confessional. hopefully there are more to come!!! We're waiting for the results of the first immunity challenge right now! Let's go Ceto!!!! <3Ā
JENNA
I'm gonna write my first one just because I'm video-ed out after that challenge. But okay, Ā Iām super glad we won! I honestly didnāt mind doing a big part of it cause I had fun and I like doing that stuff. Only really Zoe, Alex, and Katie contributed on our team but there really wasnāt a whole lot people could have done. Though Katie was really helpful with finding sounds and videos which everyone couldāve done but they didnāt.Ā
Ā Iām glad we won though because MJ is nonexistent and I really want to play with him. He said he has a ton of finals, but I donāt think heās written in the team chat once. So I think people wouldāve wanted him gone possibly. Iām gonna do an overall view on the team tho first then talk a bit more on that.Ā
Alex: Alex stresses me out a little bit but he really is trying very hard which I do appreciate. Him and Zoe had an issue with the writing part of the challenge and he was being stubborn about it so initially, it rubbed me the wrong way and I know he was on Zoeās list for this council if we had to go. But before I went into the hotel he told me he found something that combined could cause a curse. Which I didnāt think much of cause he couldāve easily told everyone this. BUT since I fed the stupid fish and got a disadvantage I figured Iād use his convo with me about the hotel to my advantage and talk a bit with him about the hotel. I immediately told him exactly where the koi fish pond was and what else was in the room because it didnāt seem super important to me and also it built some trust. He then told me at least some of the rooms he found and kind of what was in them. I know heās leaving parts out but I also definitely left an entire room out of my review of the hotel so you know, if you donāt lie in survivor are you really even playing? Anyway, he then told me about the pearl he found and where. I didnāt mention the pearl I found, but I might tell him about it later cause I think we need 11 pearls anyway. I know Zoe wanted him out and maybe itās stupid to try and work with him but heās the only one really telling me anything and heās online a lot which helps, so I donāt wanna count him out yet. Plus clearly, you need to work together to get anything done in that hotel, and if no one else is offering, Iāll happily side with Alex.Ā
Ā Allyn: Allyn is super sweet but also came out swinging a bit too hard I think. Almost after like 10 minutes of talking she was talking about alliances. And then like 5 minutes after Zoe came online she added me and Zoe to an alliance. Iām not upset at it cause... alliance, but I also donāt trust it. I can tell she didnāt like MJ tho cause she never mentioned liking him. Maybe MJ never talked to her though so who knows. I havenāt talked to her a ton since then, which worries me a little but I know sheās busy and I also donāt really want to be talking to everyone every day like I used to so it is what it is.Ā
Ā Katie: I was really nervous when I saw Katie was in this game. And then doubly when I saw we were on the same team. We did not end things on amazing terms in Lost City which was the last survivor game I played. I donāt actually know if sheās still holding that against me, and she very well could because I voted out her friend and basically went against her when we were aligned, but I havenāt brought it up and neither has she so Iām just gonna go with it. I really do wanna work with Katie. Actually, I really wanted to work with her in lost city as well but it all kinda got away from me a bit. She seems like she wants to work with me cause weāre talking and she was talking about the other people on the team and helping a lot with the challenge. I told her pretty much exactly what I did in the Hotel and she might have, might have not, but I didnāt mention the pearl. I hope sheāll stick with me a little bit, and then possibly if we both make it to merge and Jessica and Logan are there then weāll both have super close people in the game so we canāt go against each other for fear of being targeted after. Weāll see though. Overall Iām gonna be most honest with her, but cautiously. Linus: Linus is sweet but Iāve barely talked to him. He seems to be busy with school as well and weāve only had a few conversations.Ā
Rhea: I really liked Rhea when I first started talking to her. But after that first night, we havenāt really talked since. I canāt tell if everyone just isnāt talking to me, or no oneās super active. Iām gonna guess no one is super active, and also Iām not making too much of an effort because itās kinda hard to talk to people every single day when nothing has changed.Ā
Rose: Rose always seems to be online but again, I have barely talked to her. The one convo we had was cool and she seems sweet, but not getting a whole lot from her.Ā
Zoe: I really like Zoe. She seems like a dangerous player, but at the same time, itās nice cause I can tell she knows what sheās doing. We had a good conversation about how it was kinda crazy how fast Allyn added us to an alliance and that neither of us is used to being in one so fast, which was good to hear that she was okay with telling me that. The only thing that confuses me about Zoe is her first message to me was about me being in Colorado????? Which like???? I never said I was in Colorado. I told Katie about that and she was like okay well I wonāt lie to Zoe she knows how to dig. Idk if was digging or just someone else telling her, but it confused me. I looked her up on the retirement wiki since Katie said she played and she got pretty far. Her profile said she wished she could know what everyone was like so she could match their personality, which makes me wonder how genuine she is being, but either way, sheās really fun. She kinda reminds me of Jess, so I know that maybe I shouldnāt trust her because she could do something chaotic for fun, but I definitely want to work with her. She also told me she wanted Alex out which is good that she told me that because 1. I donāt think anyone else wants him out because he was so helpful in the challenge and 2. hopefully that means she trusts me.Ā
Honestly, Iām hesitant about bringing up too much with anyone yet. I wanna ask about the Hotel, but I donāt want to be too much in the beginning. So Iām thinking since we won to just chill out and see what the next challenge brings. I donāt think anyone is gonna be too annoyed I got a decrease on a challenge, but you never know. It seems that the challenges can really change perception, so you never know where anyone is until then. Iām trying not to be too into it either because everyone is definitely super nice, but theyāre not super active which Iām not used to so itās definitely different from games Iāve played before. So Iām trying to take a hint from that and chill. Very hard to do Iām not gonna lie I thrive off of knowing everything I possibly can... but I gotta chill........... Overall... not really sure what to make of anyone yet tbhĀ
Also! Love the hotel game thing. Even tho I almost died Iām excited to see all the stuff in it.
MJ
stan jenna :)
JESSICA
I don't think I did a real confessional yet, so here it is!Ā
I am in an alliance with Logan, Linden, Marg, and Jessie. This is great and I'm happy we got something going. Linden WILL make the merge, I refuse for her not to get that far on her first ever game.Ā
My plan in this game is to cause as many problems as possible. I know Logan will do this too so hopefully we be very messy! I will be honest, I probably won't win with this strategy, but my goal is not so much winning as it is doing something iconic that people still remember long after this game is over. Like a 4-3-2-1 vote or like when Jenna sent someone home 0-0-1. Iconic! That's the only way to be.Ā
It is interesting to play a game with Katie starting on the other team as I don't think that's ever happened before. This might end up like Tom Hanks where we are technically an unbreakable f2 that will never vote each other however we then also never vote together either.Ā
I guess what I'm saying is you didn't cast Jessica, you cast Viktor whatever his last name was and you WILL get all the chaos that he brought to the mini!
MARG
Ok wow I just cast my first vote in the game so it felt like a good time to do a confessional! Since our team lost the first immunity challenge, the game has definitely changed and it feels like folks are starting to play the game. I have formed an alliance with Logan, Jessica, Jessie, and Linden, and within that alliance, I have a smaller alliance of Jessie and Linden. Out of everyone that I am aligned with, I think I have the best relationship with Logan? So I'm not feeling great that I didn't include him in my smaller alliance. I am wondering if I should form a second alliance with Logan and Jessica, but I'm worried about doing too much in the beginning of the game. But, I'm also worried about not doing enough! Since I am new to playing in orgs, I am still trying to find that balancing act of how much I should be doing in the game. I am definitely trying to get to know everyone and put in effort building relationships. I have also spent some time messaging Pat and Alyx, but to be honest, I am just not clicking with them in the same way as I am with other folks on the team. I'm going to continue putting in effort with everyone because I am all about that social game. I feel myself starting to get competitive and I am so pumped for this first vote! I can't wait to see what happens next in the game! tl;dr I am excited to start playing and i am ready to start putting in the effort for my social game.
JENNA
Me: Tells people about what rooms I found in the hotel, where I'll probably look next. In pretty decent detail. Them: Nice :)Ā
Like!!?? It's nice to offer something back, even if it's not true!!!!! I get it if they're not wanting to work with me but damn. Does not help me trust them at all. I guess they don't care though. I wish Logan and I were on the same team. I know we'd already have a system for this hotel where we mark where we've been and what we've seen and what people tell us. And maybe people would actually TELL Logan where they've been since no one seems inclined to share that information with me. (Except Katie maybe... and _sometimes_ Alex. When he feels like it)
JESSIE
I decided I have to play even harder then I usually play. I recognized with the amount of new people needing guidance I could get a pretty kickass alliance on the go . Hence my cute little trio chat with Marg and Linden. Love both of them got good vibes right off the bat. Will work with them for sure.Ā
Ā First challenge I thought we did great. We were so creative but nah the judges said lol you guys lose. So basically the five active people on our tribe got together. Me, Linden, Marg, Jessica and Logan.Ā
Ā We decided to vote out Danny Gluck. Which kind of sucked because I didn't know many people going into the game but I have trust in this five. I know eventually we will have to betray each other but for now we are solid. I value loyalty so I hope it works and gets us all far.
Itās been a wild ride from start to end - thirty-nine days, eighteen people, three teams, twenty challenges. Youāve braved storms and surfed waves, battled puppets and fed monsters, explored hotels and hunted idols. All of it leading up to this point right now, when we will find out who is the Sole Survivor of Survivor: Aqualand and the winner of a million seashells.
Logan and Jenna, tonight you want to see your name on these parchments. You have both played an incredible game, but only one of you can be the winner.
Without further ado...

Logan. I owe him this after all these years but his game was more interesting and compelling than Jennaās (whose was clean and dominant, donāt get me wrong!), and thatās what Iāve decided to base my vote on so ^_^

Sixth Vote............
Logan.Ā i am picking logan because the risks he took were more public even if they could have endangered his game, and he was able to do so without being targeted by many players. i would like to say however that i did not enjoy being so blatantly lied to (with no further explanation!) when i was voted out, which made it difficult to pick someone to vote for, but i had fun playing anyways. congratulations on a well-played game though, and i hope that you find ways to succeed in your future games :)

Seventh Vote, and the winner of Survivor: Aqualand.....
Logan.Ā
Logan. Choosing between the two of you has been impossible!!! I worked closely with both of you and it was hard deciding between the two of you because I believe that all of our games were tightly intertwined. My vote is going to Logan because he was willing to take risks in the game, and he convinced me to remain loyal despite him being chaotic and feeling unreliable to me at times. Congratulations to you both on making it to the end. I know you both worked really hard to get here and I am so happy to have had the chance to get to know both of you in this game <3
Congratulations, Logan!
I can proudly say that not only are you the winner of this season, but you are officially the only two-time winner in the history of Ariās Podcast Survivor series. An amazing accomplishment for a worthy champion.
Wear this crown with pride, and donāt ever forget: the ocean may be dangerous and the sailing might get rough, but you have inside of you everything you need to navigate past the horizon. <3
On behalf of the hosting team, the Welcome Brigade, Persnickety Pete, and all the monsters out there, thank you to everyone who made this such an incredible season. May you all find smooth sailing now and forever, and stay tuned just in case Ariās Podcast Survivor heads off to somewhere new...... who knows where youāll find us next?
Thank you everyone for making this game a wild experience. This has truly been an adventure. Hopefully, we can all reconnect after the season ends. Follow your hearts and cast your votes for whoever you think did best.
JENNA
I just want to say Iām really sorry if I caused anyone to not have an enjoyable experience in this game. That was never my intention and I know how hard these games can be so I hope everyone is doing okay now. I came into this game wanting to meet a lot of awesome people and try to get to the end, and I really think I played the game I had to play to get me here. If anyone is still confused on any move or hurt by anything I really hope we can talk after the game and work it out some more as I really do want to make sure everyone is okay! Again I wanna thank Ari and Josh for this amazing game and all the incredible challenges and twists and all the work they put into the hotel. Iām proud of the game I played and I had a lot of fun figuring out how to navigate everything that was thrown at us, even if it was imperfectly!

My question is simple: please tell me something you did in this game that you did completely on your own, and was independent of our alliance.
Also, please share which ABBA song best encapsulates your game.
JENNAāS RESPONSE
The song I picked is Take a chance on me. I felt like this game I was just hoping people would take a chance on me as an ally since it felt like people were never sure about me because of my past games.
It was hard to think of a move I did completely independent of our alliance because almost everything went through it at some point. Iād say the first vote at merge is the move that was mostly independent of our alliance. Itās not completely since I wanted to make sure you guys knew how I was voting so as to make sure you all still trusted me after the vote, but I also had more knowledge than I was telling anyone. At this point I was working closer with Linus and he had told me he had an auto vote against him from the hotel. This wasnāt great because obviously the plan was to do 3-3-3, and that would make him go home. I had told MJ about this and he said we should just let it happen. I didnāt want Linus to go, but the hard part was navigating what to do without revealing we had a whole plan without him. I told him I was worried and he revealed he had the 50/50 coin and was definitely going to play it. I also knew that Jess had just found the idol since Logan had told me and you earlier. I wasnāt sure if Jess would play the idol on Linden or herself, but I wanted to make sure one of them went. At this point Linus thought me, him, rose, and MJ were all going to vote Linden, and he said he was worried that if an idol was played on Linden one of MJ or Rose would be targeted which he didnāt want. So he wanted to throw a vote on Katie. But I knew Katie had an auto vote from the hotel. This would mean it could be 2 Katie and 2 Linden. I knew there was a good chance everyone would vote Katie in a revote and I really didnāt want Katie to go home. I also thought there would be 3 votes on Jess, SO if Linus threw his vote on Jess, and Jess played the idol on Linden, it would cause a 4-4 tie between Linus and Jess if the 50/50 coin didnāt work (of course I didnāt know about the back up idol Linus had). This would ensure that either Linden or Jess would leave in any scenario (I also didnāt know one of the Jess votes would switch to Linus, so it was good Linus had an idol either way, but I just wanted to explain my thought process). I never told anyone about Linusā idol or that I told him that if he was gonna throw his vote he should throw it on Jess because I didnāt want anyone to know I was close to Linus or complicate the plan we had already settled on. Though obviously our move had always been to try and get Jess or Linden out, I made sure that they were the only possible options just incase, as I knew you and Logan couldāve possibly went back to work with Jess and Linden had they stayed. I also wasnāt sure if you guys would choose getting out Katie over Linden if you knew she had an auto vote against her as well, and I really was worried about how far Linden could get in the game if she stayed a bit longer. I continued to play down my relationship with Linus and was hoping something could come out of it, but unfortunately he started get much closer to you (Marg) and I thought he wouldnāt stick super tight to me anymore. Ā Ā
LOGANāS RESPONSE
I did a lot on my own. I was the one who decided to let the monster out on Proteus. I asked for some opinions on doing this, but the decision was ultimately my own. If the monster had any type of advantage, I wanted to be the one to get it. I never got any backlash for sending our team to Sea Council, and I got an idol out of it. I also used the opportunities for cross-team communication to my advantage. During the dispatcher challenge, I told MJ information about the game, and I think that gained trust from him. This allowed me to set up the swap nicely for myself because he was a team captain. The relationships I solidified at the swap were carried throughout the game. During the challenge where we battened the hatches against the storm, I passed Linden a note and an idol. Linden was someone who I worked with on my original team. At the time, I wanted her to be safe coming into merge. If she were getting close to others on her team, giving her an idol would show her that I still trusted her. When I won individual immunity, I chose to give it up. Nobody wanted me to do that, especially when I gave it Katie. This was based on luck because I spun a wheel to decide who would get the necklace, but I planned to keep Katie safe that round anyway. I figured Jenna and MJ were tight, and you and Linus were becoming closer. That put me in a weird position in the game, so I needed to do something about it.
My ABBA song is Head Over Heels.
Jenna-
We had a pretty early on alliance on Proteus, but now Iām told you just make friendships and alliances with everyone. Did you have plans or intentions to work with me again at merge or was I just one of the people on your list to turn on?
Logan-
Unfortunately we never got to talk! Please tell me why you think you deserve this win. Doesnāt even have to be over Jenna, what did you do in this game to get my vote? Also who told you I make good jokes I am confused about that š
Congratulations and good luck to both of you! Thank you for playing :)
JENNAāS RESPONSE
I actually really did want to work with you and was planning on sticking with you had we made merge together. You were the only person early on who committed to anything with me and I truly appreciated that and wanted to stick with you because of it. Had you made merge my plan was sticking 100% with you and Marg. I had told Marg before hand that I thought you might work with us and that I wanted to stick with you through merge and initially Marg was saying maybe you, me, Linden, and them could all work together. Obviously that never ended up happening. I actually had to completely change my merge plan since you werenāt there, causing me to stick more to Logan since Marg and Logan were so close and I didnāt get the impression that many people wanted to work with me past the first few votes of merge.
LOGANāS RESPONSE
Hey Allyn! I heard from a few people that you were really sweet and funny. Iām bummed we never got a chance to talk. For your question for why I deserve the win, I was bold and decisive. I wasnāt afraid to try things. I positioned myself well. Before the merge, I solidified relationships with people. Once the merge hit, I was able to push the course of the game in the direction I wanted. Even though we never met in the game, I hope you consider voting for me.
