Day 2

Day 2 started with the castaways getting more involved in strategic discussions and forming alliances. The discovery of a new group chat called "dew it" raised suspicions, with Abraham speculating that it might be from the other tribe. The active players from the Kalipa tribe were mentioned as potential members of this chat, including Aaron, Denise, Frosti, Jamie, and possibly Leslie. 
 
Abraham, Evvie, and Xander decided to create their own group chat as a strategic move. They planned to create it late at night when no one from their tribe was online, ensuring that their involvement wouldn't be easily traced back to them. Abraham admired Evvie's intelligence and found her to be a strong ally, while also recognizing Xander's positive qualities and potential for a long-term partnership. 
 
However, Abraham felt a bit cautious about his growing connection with Deshawn. He worried that Deshawn might want to align with Heather or Sara, which could complicate their plans to eliminate them later on. Abraham also feared that Deshawn might reveal their close relationship to Evvie or Xander, jeopardizing their alliance. To counter this, Abraham intended to steer the conversation towards a larger majority alliance (F5/F6) instead of a smaller final two or three. He hoped to discourage Deshawn from discussing the latter option but acknowledged that he might struggle to refuse if it was proposed.Shan's online presence was minimal, making it challenging for Abraham to gauge her alliances and interactions. He suspected that Shan might be closely aligned with Evvie due to their similar gameplay styles. Abraham also had brief conversations with Sara, but nothing of significant importance was discussed. Heather's lack of responses in the chats raised concerns about her level of engagement. 
 
Abraham contemplated the idea of dividing the responsibilities of monitoring other potential alliances among himself, Evvie, and Xander. He hoped that each of them could establish connections with different players, providing a network of information and ensuring they always had eyes on other alliances. Abraham planned to subtly influence the idea and have either Evvie or Xander propose it, so he wouldn't appear to be the only one making plans and strategies.  
 
The day ended with the castaways still awaiting the arrival of Danny, who had been inactive for most of the game. His absence puzzled Abraham and raised questions about his commitment to the game. 
 
Overall, Day 2 was marked by the formation of alliances, strategic discussions, suspicions about the "dew it" chat, and a focus on solidifying connections with tribe members. The castaways were positioning themselves for future votes and trying to gather information to navigate the complex dynamics of the game. 

 Based on the confessionals and provided information from Day 2, here is a breakdown of the alliances that were forming:

1. Honeymoon Honies (Xander and Evvie): Xander and Evvie formed a close alliance and referred to themselves as the "Honeymoon Honies." They felt a strong bond, shared similarities in personality, and were committed to working together in the game.
2. Stoner's Coalition (Abraham, Xander, and Evvie): Abraham, Xander, and Evvie planned to form an alliance called the Stoner's Coalition. They aimed to create a group chat and work together strategically, recognizing the intelligence and compatibility among the three of them.
3. Four-Person Alliance (Aaron, Jean-Robert, Frosti, and Erik): Aaron and Jean-Robert expressed interest in working together and invited Frosti and Erik to join their alliance. This four-person alliance was seen as a potential majority alliance that could have control over the tribe's votes.
4. Abraham and Deshawn: Abraham and Deshawn had developed a close relationship and engaged in strategic conversations. However, Abraham had some concerns about Deshawn's potential connections with other players and wanted to ensure their alliance stayed strong.
5. Potential Connection with Shan: Abraham noted a connection with Shan but had limited information about her alliances and interactions due to her sporadic online presence. He suspected that Shan might have a strong bond with Evvie.
6. Sarah's Final 3: Sarah mentioned to Xander that her ideal final three included herself, Deshawn, and Xander. However, it was unclear if this was a solidified alliance or just an idea she proposed.

It's important to note that the alliances were still in the early stages of formation and the dynamics could evolve as the game progressed. Additionally, there were players like Heather, Jamie, Leslie, and Denise who had not shown explicit alliances in the available information, leaving room for potential connections and shifting alliances in the future.

He found Sara's gameplay aggressive and planned to share information about her with his allies.

He felt a strong connection with Xander but had concerns about Deshawn's potential alliances. Abraham recognized Evvie's intelligence and considered her a strong competitor in the game.

• Leslie: Leslie was the primary source of information for Jaime, keeping her informed about the vote plans. She had conversations with Jaime, sharing her insights and thoughts on the tribe dynamics. Leslie played a more strategic game, orchestrating plans behind the scenes while maintaining connections with other players.
• Shan: Shan had conversations with Heather, discussing the possibility of forming an alliance and having each other's backs. She seemed enthusiastic about the idea and looked forward to working together. Shan's interactions focused on building alliances and maintaining loyalty with potential allies.

Overall, each player had their own perspective and approach to the game, with some players being more active strategizers while others were more passive or focused on building alliances. The dynamics within the tribe were complex, and players were careful about what information they shared and with whom.

 Day 5 began with discussions about the challenge planning, but there was a lack of initiative from the tribe members. Aaron and Jr decided to sit out the challenge due to personal reasons, while the rest of the tribe struggled to assign roles. Jaime expressed frustration with the lack of progress and offered to take on any role to move things forward.

During the challenge, Kallpa faced difficulties, particularly with Frosti repeatedly uploading the same image instead of refreshing and posting different ones. This led to confusion, and the tribe was unable to complete the puzzle within the given time. Jaime felt discouraged and believed their chances of winning were slim.

Meanwhile, conversations about the upcoming vote revolved around targeting Sherea. Jaime had previously heard rumblings about voting out Sherea, which had come from multiple sources, including Denise, Jr, Aaron, and Frosti. Jaime pretended to be out of the loop to maintain her connections, as Leslie was the only one truly keeping her informed.

Frosti shared with Jaime that someone had asked him about the next vote, but Jaime was unsure if he was being truthful or creating the story himself. Regardless, Jaime played along and acted clueless about future plans, avoiding giving away her own thoughts.

Denise expressed feeling out of the loop, so Jaime reassured her by mentioning that she was the first to inform Jaime about the potential Sherea vote. This solidified Denise's belief that she was in the majority. Jaime maintained her act of being on the outs, aware that her close alliance with Leslie needed to remain a secret.

In her confessional, Jaime discussed her "dumb blonde act," where she portrayed herself as clueless about geography and lacked knowledge about certain states. She admitted that it wasn't her original intention to play this way, but circumstances led to her capitalizing on the role. Jaime shared her preference for keeping Sherea around as a target and a meat shield, but she wouldn't risk her game to save her.

As the day progressed, the plan to vote out Sherea remained intact. Jaime acknowledged that going against the majority at this point could put a target on her back. She hoped for a win in the next challenge to maintain stability within the tribe. If they were to lose, she predicted chaos and potential targeting of Denise as another easy vote.

The day concluded with Kallpa heading to Tribal Council, where Sherea was voted out by a vote of 7 to 1. The tribe seemed united in their decision, and Jaime played her part in following the majority while keeping her close alliance with Leslie a secret.

She wanted to play under the radar and maintain good social bonds with everyone. She hoped to align with Jean-Robert and Aaron to form a strong alliance. Leslie was content with her Survivor rep as it sparked conversations but hoped she wouldn't be voted out early like her namesake. She was nervous about the upcoming challenge and hoped they would win to avoid tribal council. If they lost, her plan was to target Denise.
• Jaime was disappointed that Sherea was voted out and felt it wasn't the best move for their tribe's morale. She perceived herself as a strategic player and aimed to align with Jean-Robert, Aaron, and Frosti to create a strong group. Jaime appreciated her Survivor rep as it made her appear a bit crazy, which helped her not be seen as part of a pair with Leslie. She was anxious about the upcoming challenge and hoped they would win to avoid tribal council. Her plan was to keep Jean-Robert in the game and potentially blindside Aaron or Frosti later.
• She believed voting out Sherea was the right move for her game since it solidified her position in the majority alliance. Denise aimed to play under the radar and maintain good social bonds with everyone. She felt that her tribemates trusted her. She was happy with her Survivor rep and found it to be a good conversation starter. Denise was nervous about the upcoming challenge but felt safe within the tribe.
• Erik thought voting out Sherea was the right move since she had voted for him. He aimed to avoid being a goat and provide value in strategy, challenges, and maintaining a fun vibe. He felt his Survivor rep as Erik, the virgin who married Jaime, was fine but hoped to be more strategic. Erik wanted to win the upcoming challenge to avoid a losing streak and hoped to navigate the dynamics of the male alliance, potentially considering targeting Jean-Robert if needed. He didn't believe anyone was particularly worried about physical players.
• Aaron was pleased with Sherea's elimination, considering her a potential threat later in the game. He aimed to play a strategic and adaptable game.

He hoped to win the upcoming challenge and thought Frosti's mistake wouldn't make him a target.
• Jean-Robert was happy with Sherea's elimination, as it didn't require him to ruffle any feathers and targeted someone he hadn't formed strong relationships with. He intended to play under the radar initially and unleash his strategic gameplay later in the game. He hoped to be seen as a non-threatening presence. Jean-Robert was pleased with his Survivor rep as it made him appear less of a legitimate threat to outlast others. He wanted to win the upcoming challenge and hoped to gain the numbers within his alliance.

He considered himself a social butterfly and aimed to build trust with others through honesty. Frosti appreciated his Survivor rep as it allowed him to be more himself in the game.

Denise thought her Survivor rep as a lunch lady sparked conversations, and Erik liked his rep as the virgin who married Jaime, although he hoped to be more strategic.

The upcoming challenge and potential tribal council were sources of anxiety and strategy.

The importance of physical players in challenges was discussed, with Aaron valuing them and Erik believing it depended on the situation.

There were discussions about forming alliances and navigating relationships within the tribe. Jaime and Leslie considered aligning with Jean-Robert, but decided against it to avoid being seen as a pair. Leslie aimed to downplay her connections to make Jaime think she knew more than she did.

The tribe members discussed their perceptions of one another. Jaime and Leslie believed they were in a good position, while Denise suspected that others perceived her as stupid. Erik had mixed perceptions of his tribemates, but trusted Jaime the most.

In anticipation of future events, the tribe members expressed their hopes and concerns. Winning challenges and maintaining a strong position in the tribe were key goals.

• Aaron explains that he has been good at not letting his emotions influence his strategic moves.

• In the chat room, Jaime discovers the existence of a chat room named "1987 Chevy Malibu," created by the other tribe. She deduces that Eric is in an alliance with Aaron and Frosti based on their presence in the chat room.

Episode 4 High-Level Summary:

Day 9 saw the Ancha tribe members contemplating potential alliances and the balance of power within their tribe. Xander put forth the idea of targeting Heather, suspecting she could pose a threat to their alliance. Shan, however, defended Heather, suggesting they target another player instead. Amidst these discussions, Deshawn expressed his fear of being at the bottom of the tribe and stressed the importance of trust and loyalty. On the other hand, Sara voiced her discomfort with the dynamics within the tribe, feeling left out from the established alliances.

At the Kallpa tribe, Leslie spilled the beans about Erik's intention to form an alliance with a target set on Aaron and Frosti. This news stirred unease in the tribe, particularly between Jaime and Leslie, who discussed the possibility of protecting Aaron and Frosti, their close allies. The tribe found itself in heated discussions around potential targets, alliances, and the anxiety surrounding the upcoming tribal council.

As the emotions ran high, the tribe members confided their feelings and strategies in their confessionals. Aaron, unbeknownst of what was coming, discussed his alliance with Frosti and Leslie, and his satisfaction with Denise's previous elimination. Jaime expressed pride in orchestrating Denise's elimination and grappled with her options for the upcoming vote. Leslie, while confirming her alliances, shared her concerns about Erik's close ties with Aaron and Frosti.

Back in the Ancha tribe, Abraham dealt with feelings of betrayal as Xander had shared information about their alliance with Shan. However, Xander was more worried about how this incident impacted his reputation in the game.

Day 10 saw Jaime and Leslie from the Kallpa tribe discussing the inability to change passwords and the importance of strategizing cautiously to protect themselves from potential alliances within their tribe.

On the other hand, in the Ancha tribe, Evvie and Deshawn discussed having a balanced tribe. Heather engaged in small talk with Deshawn and Xander about casual life events and their day's activities.

Day 11 brought a significant twist in the game. The Ancha tribe won the immunity challenge, pushing the Kallpa tribe into tribal council. It was here that the tensions escalated. Leslie, Jaime, and Jean-Robert, united in their mistrust for Erik, pulled off an unexpected move. Instead of voting for Erik, they blindsided Aaron, who ironically had voted for Erik. Erik, on the other hand, voted for Frosti. Frosti did not show up or vote at the tribal council. This series of events led to a surprising elimination of Aaron, completely shifting the dynamics of the Kallpa tribe.

Over these three days, the Survivor island saw dramatic shifts in alliances, strategies, and power dynamics. With the surprise elimination of Aaron, the game continues to be wide open as the survivors navigate their way through shifting alliances, increasing suspicion, and the looming threat of elimination.

Kallpa Tribe:

1. Aaron, Frosti, and Leslie (dissolved) - Originally a solid alliance, Leslie began to fear Aaron's close ties to Erik, leading to her siding with Jaime and Jean-Robert to blindside Aaron.
2. Leslie, Jaime, and Jean-Robert - This alliance was formed primarily to shift the power dynamics within the tribe. They succeeded in blindsiding Aaron at the tribal council.
3. Potential Aaron, Frosti, and Erik alliance (dissolved) - Leslie and Jaime had suspicions about a potential alliance between Aaron, Frosti, and Erik, one of the reasons they targeted Aaron.
4. "The Boys" - Frosti mentioned a somewhat weak alliance with Aaron, Erik, and Jean-Robert. With Aaron's elimination, the current status of this alliance is uncertain.

Confessional Summary

:Jaime expressed her concern about the tribe swap but saw an opportunity to gather information from Deshawn about Sarah and Xander's relationship. She hoped that this knowledge would benefit her alliance, Kallpa, in the future. She also considered the possibility of throwing the challenge to keep Jean-Robert safe and vote out one of the other tribe's members. However, she was unsure about the best course of action and worried about the consequences if Jean-Robert were to be voted out.

 Jean-Robert, on the other hand, felt a mix of emotions following the tribe swap. He was relieved to be temporarily joining the Ancha tribe, hoping to form alliances and navigate the merge. However, the revelation of his private conversations being shared shook him and made him realize that he was somewhat isolated in the game. He cautiously entertained the idea of working with Xander and Sarah but remained wary of their loyalty. He also expressed his dislike for Shan's approach and his uncertainty about his conversations with Abe and Heather. Overall, Jean-Robert looked forward to the merge but recognized the need to be vigilant and maintain his position in the game.

 Deshawn reflected on the tribe swap and the relief of knowing it was temporary. He expressed his eagerness for the merge, as it presented an opportunity to shake up the game and work with others outside of his original tribe. Deshawn advocated for strategic gameplay, wanting to target individuals who had been talking a big game behind the scenes. He believed that taking the easy way out by eliminating one tribe's members systematically would not make for an exciting and fulfilling experience. Deshawn was optimistic about the merge and looked forward to making big moves.

 Xander's confessional centered around his regret over the screenshot incident and the potential consequences it may have on his game. He apologized for breaking the rules and worried about judgmental players exploiting the situation. Despite Abe's reassurances, Xander felt concerned about Heather's reaction and the impact it could have. He also strategized for the upcoming tribal council, where he had lost his vote. Xander planned to secure a majority of four votes to eliminate Heather, relying on the support of Abe, Sara, and Jean-Robert. He acknowledged the need to convince either Shan or Evvie to join their alliance and mentioned his intention to search for an idol to strengthen his position in the game.

Episode 5 High-Level Summary:

The Survivor game saw a major shake-up with Frosti's unexpected departure on Day 12. His sudden quitting reverberated through the tribes, creating a new landscape for the remaining players to navigate.


 On the Ancha Tribe, the aftermath of the tribal swap combined with Frosti's exit fueled uncertainty and speculation. The arrival of Jean-Robert, a temporary member from Kallpa Tribe, introduced an additional layer of complexity to the dynamics. As the tribe tried to find its footing, a screenshot incident involving Xander created further turbulence. His rule-breaking action of sharing a screenshot was seen as a breach of trust by some, while others, like Abraham, were more forgiving. All of this occurred alongside a concern about Evvie's struggle in the challenges, leading to fears about the tribe's overall strength.

 Simultaneously, the Ancha Tribe was also engaging in serious discussions about perceived biases and double standards in the game. Sara and Xander were particularly vocal in this regard. Despite the underlying tensions, members like Abraham and Shan attempted to maintain high spirits, advocating unity and resilience in the face of adversity.

Across the divide, the Kallpa Tribe was wrestling with its own set of challenges. The tribe swap had not settled well with some members, particularly Leslie and Jaime. Their frustration became more palpable with the days, hinting at a looming vote to evict someone from their ranks.

 On Day 13, the emotional pendulum in both tribes continued to swing. The Ancha Tribe saw members like Evvie and Jean-Robert voicing their frustrations, whereas Sara and Xander continued their dialogue about unfair treatment. Abraham strove to balance the morale by discouraging paranoia, while Shan seemed apprehensive about an early merge.

 Meanwhile, the tribe was also coping with Evvie's personal circumstances, as news of her grandmother's illness suggested a possible decrease in her activity. A sense of unease hovered over Xander's lost vote and the possible outcomes in the forthcoming challenges.

 In the Kallpa Tribe, a surge of anger marked the day, especially from Leslie and Jaime. Though the cause was unclear, it indicated a brewing storm within the tribe. Amid the tension, they prepared for the upcoming challenge, hoping it would bring a much-needed shift in their situation.

 In their individual confessionals, the survivors shared their perspectives and strategies. Jaime and Jean-Robert were pondering their options after the tribe swap, Deshawn was eager for the merge, and Xander, still dealing with the consequences of the screenshot incident, was strategizing his way forward.

 These two days, marked by Frosti's departure, saw the tribes navigating through a tumultuous sea of shifting dynamics, uncertainty, and intense competition as they braced themselves for the imminent challenges and potential tribal council.
