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!

Hi everyone, I really wanted to do a video confessional and even though the video was under 5 minutes the file was still to large.😢

Well lets get into this thing. I am so excited to be playing. Cant wait to meet the other tribemates tonight! My first impressions was im on the yellow tribe Kallpa. I own nothing yellow because yellow is not really my color. Thats okay after this experience yellow may just be my color💛 I noticed 4 men and 4 women on each tribe. Cant wait to see everyones personality shine.
Lets get into who I am. Whos Jaime? Or should I say Whos Sophia? My name is Sophia I am 26 years old from NH I have an 1 year old daughter. A loving husband and no pets🙏 
I hate the outdoors unless im taning with a glass of sangria in my hand.🍷 If your going camping or on a hike you can count me out. If its winter and its cold and snowing ya thats a no for me I'll stay inside thank you. I have alot of gaming background given my age i grew up with technology. I play alot of xbox. The main games ive played is call of duty, fable, and assassin creed. Only PC game ive played is WOW. This will be a new experience to add to the list and I cannot wait. I have ADD/ADHD so I talk a million miles a minute and my brain never slows down.🤪 I say this gave me the gift of gab. I can have a conversation with anyone about anything forever. This goes into my strat for this game.
I plan on making connections with EVERYONE good or bad. People typically love me or hate me. I just want everyone to have some kind of connection  with me. All doors will be open at all times. I am hoping to have lots of options by forming bonds with many different people so I have those options. On the other hand I will be my own worst enemy. I feel hard, I love hard, hate hard and play ever harder. I read into things and take everything so personally. I am hoping I can get out of my own head follow my gut and just have fun.
I hope you all enjoy watching me play as much as I will enjoy playing. I hope I get the chance to talk to you all again really soon. LET PLAY🎉

How did you upload the video? Directly here, or to Youtube? Try uploading an unlisted video to Youtube, then use the Youtube button in here when making a post/reply to link that Youtube video here, and it will show. I don't think length is an issue, we've had people upload 40 minute video confessionals before (please don't make it that long lol). If you upload it to the site directly and not Youtube then I don't think it'll work.
