I Don't Mind Getting My Hands Dirty

You can always count on Riley..

**I Don't Mind Getting My Hands Dirty** is the third episode of MintORGs Season 1: Hogwarts.

## Story

### Flitwick

**Hayleigh** sat out of the History Of Magic challenge, but felt confident in her tribe. She started to worry that people were targeting her, but in the end she was able to vote out Alli.

**Kyle** was initially sceptical about how the Hunter vote was going to play out, and feels as though he needs to pitch himself to Flitwick as a free agent. Kyle has been VERY analytical this round, and has taken a lot of time to try and work out the tribe dynamics. He thinks Hayleigh is throwing out random votes. He decided voting out Hayleigh at tribal makes the best sense, but then realised the vote was changing to Alli. He wasn't able to convince Riley to flip back to voting Hayleigh.

**Jace** feels like he's on the bottom, but is glad Nicole is keeping him in the loop. He was just glad it wasn't him being voted out. We got a video confessional from Jace, which you can watch **here**!

**Nicole** didn't give a confessional this episode, but has been keeping Jace in the loop.

**Riley** initially wanted to target Hayleigh, but realised he had an option to play aggressive and target Alli instead. He decided to swoop in and save Hayleigh, flipping the vote and taking charge. He definitely got his hands dirty this episode and raised his threat level within the tribe.

**Tomato** felt really bad about voting out Hunter. He didn't feel safe going to tribal, and planned on initially voting out Hayleigh, but later decided to switch to Alli after a conversation with Riley. Tomato also feels like Flitwick attending tribal was his fault due to him messing up an answer.

### Sprout

**Andy** feels like Pas being voted out was best case scenario for him. He doesn't feel confident in Sprout's ability to win challenges, but would've been fine going to tribal this episode (he didn't!). He believes the problem with being safe is that people aren't inclined to play a social game, which he finds more boring.

**Duolingo** is starting to feel like Hufflepuff is getting pagonged, noticing three Hufflepuff players have been voted out in a row. He's banking on his social game to keep him safe.

**Freeze** continued to work on his social game, connecting a little more with Andy and Duolingo.

**Jamal** is feeling good to not be at tribal, and thinks that if another swap comes up, he'll be able to get to merge 'easily'. He's also happy to see Gryffindor is leading the House Cup.

Like Duolingo, **Laura** is worried about Hufflepuff players getting consecutively voted out. She hopes to keep winning immunities and reunite with Alli. She also noted that Jamal worked with the Slytherin players last vote, and that Andy lied to her that he was voting with her.

**Meredith** woke up early to do the challenge, and was disappointed to see Vinny didn't show up at the planned time.

**Vinny** took some time to hunt to advantages, to no avail. They don't think they can trust the other Slytherins, calling them 'snakes', and thinking they're all saying bad things about them in their confessionals.

### Trelawney

**Imke** was approached by Wei, who told her he had a strategy that he trusts only her with.

**Kieran** wasn't bothered about either Hunter or Pas being voted out last episode, and thinks Hufflepuff are an 'absolute mess'.

**Nick** is also noticing the Hufflepuff players are going down fast. He also noted Jace got a strike for not voting. He feels comfortable in his alliance with Imke and Wes, and is still struggling to make a connection with Eris.

**Nikki** was pleased to not be at tribal, but was also worried that Trelawney might have a target on their backs for winning. Nikki also noted that Rips wants to vote out the weakest challenge performer if Trelawney go to tribal.

**Rips** didn't have too much to say this episode, enjoying the time off due to pulling off another challenge win. He also wants to keep earning House Points!

**Wei** was glad to see Kyle safe last vote, and felt pretty torn. On one hand, he wants to go to tribal because there's not been a lot going on, but also.. tribal is scary! He's trying not to play too hard, and trying to stay under the radar.

**Wes** is continuing to work with the Raven Clan alliance, but is finding Nick to be pedantic, saying he's "only annoying when he's in business mode", and is "otherwise lovely". They're also finding Eris a little dry.
