Kiibo

Kiibo is a contestant on Visionary Survivor: Egypt, Visionary Survivor: Clash of Casts and Visionary Survivor: Fans vs Favorites.

## Egypt Summary

Seeing Kiibo as the first boot definitely showed all who were watching exactly how competitive season three was going to be compared to the first two, all spectators were in for a massive treat. The first two seasons saw two inactives as the first boots, while in season three Kiibo seemed to be quite the opposite. At the start of the game Kiibo quickly aligned himself with a spectator favorite; Blair. Although numbers were very uncertain and proper communication was severely lacking within the Griffin tribe, Kiibo and Blair both trusted each other to their fullest.

After losing the first challenge, Griffin was faced with their first tribal council. Every name came up at some point due to Delta’s mischievously social tactics. Kiibo and Blair’s primary goal was to ensure the safety of their duo, which seemed rather difficult even with both of their social connections within the tribe. When it seemed as though they’d both be safe, Kiibo emerged as a last minute target for Nexus and Tinky, both of which were rather expected votes. But what really threw the tribe off balance was Dany’s decision to also cast a vote for Kiibo, this forced an unexpected 3-3 tie when there seemed to be a clear majority. As a result, Kiibo and tinky were forced into a tie breaker. Unfortunately the wheel chose Kiibo, making him the first castaway eliminated from Visionary Survivor: Egypt.

## Clash of Casts Summary

From first boot to winner, quite the tall order. And yet, most spectators were confident that it would be done. At the start of the game Kiibo was initially left on the outs with Darryl as Aidan, CK, and Dawit rekindled their season three alliance. While there was a decent chance of Dawit flipping in a tribal council scenario, Kiibo was probably the most likely to be eliminated first from the original Ksitigarbha tribe. Fortunately, the tribe chemistry was rather high on the tribe. They consistently pushed each other in the first two challenges to ensure that they would avoid tribal council.

The tribe swap propelled Kiibo into a great position. He was split apart from CK and Dawit, and was swapped onto the new Manjusri tribe with his closest ally Darryl and Aidan. He took the opportunity of having new people to talk to really develop his social game. He had the most connections on his new tribe which led him to being on the right side of every vote. The only downside to his post-swap gameplay was constantly having to settle for eliminating his second option. Kiibo saw Jack as a huge threat due to watching him play in season two, but for a while no one really saw his reasoning and felt inclined to work with Jack. Eventually, he was able to finally eliminate Jack two votes before the merge after convincing Jethro to flip.

Kiibo found himself in a tough spot when Manjusri lost the final tribal immunity challenge. With only four members left on the tribe, Kiibo knew he was safe but had a crucial decision to make regarding his closest ally at the time. Both Brett and Jethro wanted to eliminate Darryl in order to keep a strong and active trio in the merge. While Kiibo did want to keep an active trio, he also wanted to keep his closest number. So he was left with the choice of either voting with Darryl to cause a tie, or make the vote unanimous by voting against Darryl. Ultimately, Kiibo decided to eliminate Darryl in fear that Darryl’s relationship with Dawit from before the swap was stronger than Darryl’s relationship with him. Kiibo knew he made the right decision when Darryl didn’t will his remaining tokens to him.

Come merge Kiibo was in the toughest spot in the whole game. Not only was he stuck in a 7-3 minority with Brett and Jethro, but he was also receiving some serious heat from Dawit for flipping against Darryl. Their feud quickly became public as everyone latched onto a side of the vote as a way of keeping heat off of themselves. Ultimately, Dawit got his way as Kiibo was eliminated in a 7-1-1-1 vote.

## Fans vs Favorites Summary

For someone with so much potential, it was sad to see Kiibo have to pull himself from the game so early. Heading into the season Kiibo was likely the Favorite with the highest profile. Because of this his social game needed to be on point if he was going to integrate well with the other favorites. But despite being such a loved icon in the Visionary community, Kiibo still had a lot he wanted to prove having never placed above 10th. Unfortunately, Kiibo quit the game on day two for personal reasons, making him the first two time first boot in Visionary.

## Return Interviews

* Fans vs Favorites

**Coming into your second season, which area do you think you can improve in most between social play, physical play, and strategic play? How do you plan on improving?**
This is a rather difficult question for me to answer, specifically because in my first season I was voted off first out of nowhere and without any reason. But something I will improve on is physical play. When it comes to challenges I'm not the best at it. But I believe that with enough practice I will be like Ozzy, but actually good :smile:.
**What was the biggest mistake you made when playing in your first season? How did you learn from it?**
The biggest mistake I made was not knowing how to draw a perfect circle. Because had I not flopped in that challenge maybe we could've won and I wouldn't be out. I learned the importance of drawing perfect circles in life. :)
**Have you spectated any seasons besides the one you competed on? Have any other castaways stood out to you?**
ABSOLUTETLY YES! From Greece obviously Kaden, he was the first winner in Visionary history, he was smart and a total challenge beast. I wish I had that same level of luck when trying to find an idol or advantage lmao Derek, Dilman and Rachel were three others that stood out for me. From the pre merge Dan, I honestly felt bad for him because he was basically considered a "threat" for winning a separate game.
**How has Visionary Survivor impacted you?**
I'm glad it was the first ORG I ever played. It's such an amazing experience to go through. It challenges you to reach your fullest potential. It has helped me grow as a person, be more comfortable socially, and to never give up. It helped me see how much fun ORG's really are.
**In what ways do you hope to refine your legacy with this second chance you’ve been given? What do you hope to gain from competing again?**

I have a lot of ways I'm planning on refining my legacy. I was given a second chance even as a first boot, I'm going to take this opportunity to show everyone what I'm capable of. My goal is to make HISTORY in Visionary Survivor as the first ever player to go from last place to winning. I'm seeking redemption. I will outwit, outplay, and outlast the rest. The wheel may have screwed me last time but I'm back, stronger than ever and hungry for revenge.
**What does it mean to you to be considered a Fan Favorite in the Visionary community?**
Oh my gosh I did not expect to be loved so much to the point of being considered a fan favorite in the community. To tell you the truth looking back at my last two runs I didn't think I'd be this memorable. But it makes me so f'ing happy that people actually loved watching me and my journey!
**What are your expectations for this season in terms of competition?**
I'm expecting quite some heavy competition this season and I'm so ready for it. Sure these players are not of high calliber such as the previous All Stars, however it doesn't mean it's going to be a peaceful ride. Everyone has one thing in their mind and it's that title of Sole Visionary.
**How do you expect the mixed cast of veterans and newbies to impact the season? Are you more nervous about the veterans returning or the newbies who are getting their first chance?**
I have a feeling the theme is going play a huge part in a way that there's going to be a chaotic war between the two groups. Maybe the Fans will be coming for us like "You already played this game now is time for us to have a chance!" and the Favorites are gonna be like "This is our game, this is the cool kids table, get the fuck out nerds durr". Pero whatever happens I'll make sure my hispanic ass is on top. As for the other question, hell yeah I'm nervious. The Favorites are for sure thirsty for revenge, previous events are most likely going to make an impact in this season. As for the Fans we don't know anything about them, they're new castaways meanwhile they know everything about us because they have watched our seasons!
**Coming in as the veterans of the season do you feel that it’s the Favorites job to uphold their stature and give the Fans a tough fight?**
Absolutety! We are the veterans of the season, we are the Favorites. If they think they know our every move just by watching our seasons they're mistaking. We are not going easy on them just because they are newbies. They are going to learn and experience this game the hard way! I love my fans though hehe
**What’s your main goal this season now that you’ve been given another chance?**
