Ripsxki

**Rips** is a contestant from **MintORGs Season 1: Hogwarts**.

After a strong start in Gryffindor and Trelawney where he was able to go with the flow of the tribes, Rips's game started 'ripping' apart after Hayleigh found out Rips was pushing her name at the Gryffindor tribal. Rips was flipped by Wei to vote in the majority at this vote. He then wanted to vote out Jace but stood by Imke, and he found himself in the minority, getting voted out after Andy played an idol on himself.

## Survivor

**Episode 1**

Rips is focusing on winning (to avoid having to go to tribal), and is also planning to get connections in early to stay in the game longer. Contrary to Nikki, Rips finds the Great Hall 'a chill place with a chill group of people'. Rips feels 'pretty much in the clear', and gets on least with Hayleigh. Kyle at one point expressed in his confessional wanting to vote out Rips, but after the creation of the majority alliance it now doesn't make sense for him to do that.

Wei mentioned potentially working with Rips. An alliance was formed between Nikki, Rips, Kyle and Wei. Wei has let Kyle know that Rips and Nikki are a pair.

**Episode 2**

Rips instantly disliked Eris finding a disconnect between the way she interacted in the tribe chat versus in DMs. Rips also observed that Nick is a social threat.

Nikki noticed that Rips is hellbent on targeting Eris if they lose the challenge. Wei is worried that Rips might be slightly overplaying.

**Episode 3**

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!

Nikki noted that Rips want to vote out the weakest challenge performer if Trelawney goes to tribal council.

**Episode 4**

Rips had a parchment ready for both Eris and Nikki , due to Nikki potentially wanting people to vote them, and Eris being the least social player. Rips also received Eris's vote.

Rips also rubbed them the wrong way a little when he said he told Wei that he had to compete in the next challenge.

**Episode 5**

Rips was very tired this round, finding himself not caring too much about challenge results and expecting to end up at tribal. He trusts Nikki most, and Hayleigh least. In the end, he was flipped by Wei, meaning him and Nikki also voted out Jamal.

As Rips was flipped by Wei, Kyle and Nikki decided to switch their votes from Hayleigh to Jamal as well, which solidified Jamal's exit.

**Episode 6**

Rips expected the swap, and decided his main target will be Ravenclaw, because he wants to strengthen ties with Slytherin, and secure Duolingo as an ally. He enjoyed the day off after winning the challenge, finding it refreshing.

Kyle believes he is aligned with Rips. Jace placed Rips at the bottom of his trust rankings. Riley wants to target Rips during this phase of the game as Rips seemed like 'just a question mark' to him.

**Episode 7**

Rips found the vote against Riley to be straightforward, but he wanted to get Meredith and Jace out most. He picked up the votes from Riley's alliance, but ultimately was saved by Imke flipping.

Riley wanted to force a tie with Rips, but was voted out after Imke had flipped instead.

**Episode 8**

Rips believes Riley won't be the only one from his alliance to fall, saying he's happy to throw the challenge as per Imke's suggestion. He took this round easy, taking time to relax and getting some real life work done.

Jace finds Rips difficult and annoying to talk to, as though he is talking to a politician.

**Episode 9**

Rips was more keen on voting out Jace, but wanted to stand by Imke. He wants to try and vote out Vinny, Andy, Laura or Tomato.

**Episode 10**

Rips thinks he will target Jace first at merge. Rips is hoping to flush an idol or two by planning a 5-4-3 vote. He noticed the Ravenclaw-Gryffindor alliance was leaked. He planned for Hayleigh to go. Thereafter the plan changed to vote out Andy instead. Unfortunately, he was voted out after a successful horcrux play on Andy.

Kyle views Rips to be a good shield. Wei was frustrated at Rips trying to dictate the game and "spouting garbage" after he threw Tomato's name out. Duolingo thinks the vote will be split in the middle, with Rips and against Rips. Jace shifted his target onto Rips for fear of Duolingo using his horcrux. Tomato was frustrated with Rips as Rips told him to 'talk after tribal' after Tomato approached him. Nikki and Imke were unhappy with Rip's elimination.
