## Ring of Fire Summary

If any player ending up in the prejury was a shock to the audience, it was Season 9’s 10th placer, Myth. Over the course of the game he found two idols and controlled essentially every premerge vote he attended before leaving the game with an idol in his pocket. Falling victim to his own overplaying, his fall from glory was truly a story of both confidence and cockiness.

Beginning in the anarchy phase, Myth entered the game swinging, getting through 3 stages of the idol search nearly immediately and garnering the most draft picks of any player. He was well liked instantly by just about the entire cast, and things were seeming amazing for Myth’s game. Upon being divided onto the Pink tribe, Myth seemed like a clear social powerhouse of the tribe, truly only rivaled by Jonathan of the Nani tribe. Each person had their own individual reason to trust and support him through the game while still acknowledging his threat level. The first majority alliance of the season, Five Guys, included Myth as a central figure, alongside his allies Jay, Wyatt, Starz, and Travis, leaving the other three tribe members on the bottom. After winning the first challenge, everything seemed quite easy for Myth’s premerge game, with the Pink idol in his pocket and another one set up for him at merge.

Following Pink losing the second tribal immunity challenge, Myth agreed with the Five Guys alliance to eliminate Juni, prior to her decision to volunteer to leave the game. He voted against Juni, with her leaving unanimously in a 7-1 vote. Pink then proceeded to not attend tribal council for another 2 episodes, allowing the pot to simmer over time and leading to Myth, Jay, and Travis forming a sub-alliance named Triple Threat, intended to blindside Wyatt. Myth motivated the others to eliminate Wyatt with Jay’s help over concerns of Wyatt possessing the idol, despite Myth knowing its true owner, himself. That alliance proceeded to succeed in their plans, and despite the entire tribe knowing Wyatt would be leaving, he was voted out 4-3, with Myth voting out Wyatt.

Following that vote, Myth and his closest ally Travis became growingly concerned of the level at which Jay had defended Clasper, who unbeknownst to them was Jay’s closest friend and ally. After losing the challenge in the sixth episode, the two agreed with Jay to eliminate Starz, another member of Five Guy, in favor of keeping Clasper and Axis, seeming outsiders in the tribe. For a long time it seemed that this plan would be an easy vote to unite the tribe, similar to the Piggy vote out on the Nani tribe. However, Myth and Travis became very antsy that Jay was calling too many shots in the tribe and for them, overly protecting Clasper, the clear weak link in the tribe activity and challenge wise. They decided instead to target Jay, a player who had seemingly been nothing but loyal to them up until this point other than the defense of Clasper. A plan was formulated to blindside Jay by playing an idol on Starz, with Myth, Travis, and Starz all voting for Jay. The plan worked as intended - but had many weak points. Not only did it alienate Axis and Clasper, it also eliminated a loyal and competitive threat who could have been useful at the merge phase in trying to avoid a 5-5 tie. The spectators were all appalled by this move, claiming that Myth and Travis were completely overplaying and it would end both of their games.

Unfortunately for Myth, that did turn out to be the case. Due to his own lack of bonds with most of his tribe, he disregarded the potential for tribal unity among the Nani tribe upon reaching the merge. While he tried to lie about certain aspects of his experience, the word quickly got out about the truth. Luckily for Myth, he had found the idol. After Jonathan won the immunity challenge, Myth decided to target Axis, a seemingly isolated player, aiming for a completely unanimous vote on him. However, the former Nani tribe recognized his threat level and the likelihood of him possessing a second idol, gathered Axis to form a majority, and blindsided Myth 6-4. Myth was the third in a series of highly competitive players leaving the game, and his downfall did prove to be his overplaying and lack of ability to control his threat level. Myth’s story, from start to end, is truly a great example of how you can never be too confident in your position, especially when you feel that there is an easy vote coming.
