Welcome to your first confessional!

We take confessionals seriously because we're genuinely interested in your story. We want to know everything you're thinking and, more importantly, what you're feeling. Think of it as free therapy. We will guide you along the way, asking you questions, provoking thought, and helping you think about things you otherwise might not have. Just talking through your situation can help you get a fresh perspective.

So, unlike in the actual game where you only communicate via text, your voice and video confessionals are welcome here! Please keep your videos and audio recordings to a reasonable length, but feel free to express yourselves here with whichever medium you prefer.

Only hosts and alumni, the lurkers, can view this space. Talk in these threads anytime to ask the hosts questions, let us know about alliances you have and which ones are fake or real, who you are vibing with and who you want out, or just nonsensical venting or goofing off. We love a good and active confessional and we want to see your arc evolve! We hosts and lurkers are excited to have you here.

After every Tribal Council, there will be a new confessional thread given by hosts to you with new questions to ask. But remember, this is YOUR personal sub-forum. Use it how you see fit, and make whatever topics or posts or replies you wish at anytime.
Here is a practice mini-challenge for you to work on if you want. It is a challenge that might appear once or twice throughout the season in a different form. While it will be easier to do in the actual challenge using a puzzle-builder, this will help you practice reposting images. Image posting is something that will pop up in multiple challenges and is a skill that you should perfect. Please refer to the guide in the Camp forum for detailed instructions on how to post images.

This particular challenge is a 4x4 16-piece puzzle. You must correctly unscramble the puzzle using the ORIGINAL image links. Meaning, you can't simply rearrange them in a photo editing program. You must use the original images by using the IMG tag. Fortunately, you are now able to just copy and paste the images direction from the challenge by highlighting them and selecting copy, and then pasting into the post editor. From there you can drag and drop them to rearrange your puzzle.

Good luck, please don't be afraid to ask us for any help or further instructions.

You will need to reply to this thread ahead of the season and sign the rules in order to avoid being replaced.

Here are some starting questions to get into the swing of things:


  1. How excited are you to be playing Stranded in The Andes?
  2. Look around your camp. What are some initial thoughts about who is on this season of Stranded with you?
  3. Tell the lurkers a bit about yourself. Who are you? What are you all about? Why should they root for you?
  4. Talk about your past ORG experience, if any. Many of you have never played an ORG. What are your thoughts going into this new experience?
  5. Does anyone in your household know you’re playing? Do any of your friends? What do they make of it?
  6. What do you think your initial strategy will be going into this?

Good luck and best wishes to you. You’ve joined the Stranded family; we’re so happy to watch you play! Have fun!

Hello all!

My name is Sara (not actually) and I am so excited to be here to play Stranded! I have been a survivor super fan for basically my whole life, I grew up watching it with my family and it was always a staple on Wednesday/Thursday nights, so to be able to be here and try and capture just a taste of the excitement one must get being on Survivor is what I am really trying to do. The clock hasn't quite struck midnight for me to get on the actual show so keep an eye out in future seasons for me! 😉

Looking around camp we definitely have some interesting characters and dynamics that should play out in a unique way, we got some strong personalities in Shan and Deshawn on our side, Jean-Robert and Denise (my rat tailed queen) on the other side which could either go very well or very poorly cause I could see them driving the votes from the start or being on the outs in both scenarios. I guess we will just have to wait and see what they're truly like because we all know appearances can be deceiving. ;)

I don't know if Im supposed to share anything personal in this section but Ill tell you that I am between 18-30 years old, I live in a US state with a vowel as its second letter, and I work in a profession where you interact with people. What I am all about is having fun, I try and put my personal happiness above all else because I have had some rough times in the past. Sometimes that bites me int the ass but that's the way I choose to live so I have to face the consequences of that. Basically you should root for me because I am going to win or come damn close to it, I don't plan to stick out too much as a personality in the pre merge, but I'll be looking for a solid duo to run the game with, just Gotta figure out who and make sure I cut them before they cut me. Come merge, expect some challenge wins and some more relational building with the other tribe, maybe a few betrayals here or there, but who really knows what I'm planning next, cause I sure as hell don't.

Never played an ORG, don't even know what it stands for tbh, but I am quite excited to play and get started tomorrow evening.

I live by myself so I guess my entire household knows I am playing, none of my friends know either, this is just a little me thing, its good to have stuff to enjoy by yourself ya know?

Kinda outlined my strategy int the 3rd line, so I refer you back to there but I will boil it down to a recipe for you.


1. Don't make anyone hate you pre merge/ don't do so little no one knows you exist. Healthy mediums here.
2. Don't suck ass at challenges. No one wants to go to tribal without immunity. Minimize such tribals.
3. Find a trusted duo. Confidant. Ride or Die. Ally. Careful about making friends.
4. 
Make the merge
5. ???
6.
Make final tribal WIN

OMG Same 😍🤩are we the same person??

Also you can share ANYTHING you want here, as long as you're okay with the lurkers knowing! We especially love SSNs and Credit Card numbers. Don't forget the digits on the back!

Thrilled to have you as part of the Stranded family Sara, so glad you could play!

ORG stands for online reality game. Usually you'd say what kind of game it was too, so survivor org, big brother org, etc.
