## Survivor

**Episode 1**

Wei has hit the ground running, sussing everyone out and seeing how he vibes with them. Wei is excited to be in Gryffindor, and would like to try and work with Nikki and Charlie, and potentially also Rips and Hayleigh. Wei then pretended to go to sleep, but instead spied on the hall chat, thinking the Slytherin tribe are quite over the top. He then tried hunting for an idol, reaching out to Nikki for help, but to no avail. Wei came up with some name ideas: "Bones of Bravery", "Concreted Courage" for Charlie's "team mascot". Wei is playing a great game so far, and has let Kyle know that Nikki and Rips are a pair. A majority alliance was created between Rips, Nikki, Kyle and Wei.

**Episode 2**

Wei is missing his ride or die, Kyle. He's worried Rips is slightly overplaying. Wei hatches a plan to vote out Eris, despite Trelawney having immunity.

**Episode 3**

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.

Imke said that Wei approached her with a strategy that he only trusts her with...

**Episode 4**

Wei was very active this episode, taking an opportunity to learn from Nick how to play chess. He wasn't too shocked to be at tribal and enjoyed watching the drama unfold. He also wishes his tribe will stop complaining. He was then filled in on the vote by Imke, who he also talked strategy with, solidifying their bond as allies. They formed an alliance including Imke, Nikki, Wes and Wei. He felt everything went to plan in voting out Eris, and is feeling very cool and collected on Trelawney.

**Episode 5**

Wei is realising he’s really not participated in challenges, saying that all he’s done so far is contribute a little bit to Nick’s flag on Trelawney. He’s trying to stay under the radar, and it seems to be working. He trusts Kyle most, which seems to be the case for half the Gryffindor players at this point. Having a strong distrust for Jamal, Wei was the one to make sure the numbers landed on Jamal, saying he “isn’t getting away this time”.

Wei managed to flip Rips (who was originally voting Hayleigh) to vote Jamal, which resulted in Kyle and Nikki to flip as well, which solidified Jamal's boot as they wanted to avoid a 3-3 stalemate.

**Episode 6**

Wei has a bad feeling that Hayleigh, Nick, Tomato and Wes have an alliance without him. He feels a strange sense of danger, and is especially noticing that Wes feels 'different' to talk to. Freeze was bottom of Wei's trust ranking.

Nick felt great to reunite with Wei, and has gotten hold information of Gryffindor's tribal from Wei. Hayleigh is glad to have Tomato and Wei around.

**Episode 7**

Wei was pleased to have won a challenge, and also pleased that he finally took part! He felt like he really needed the win.

Vinny wants to build her relationship with Wei and nick more.

**Episode 8**

Wei noted that Hayleigh is untrustworthy after she leaked an alliance that the two of them were both in. Initially, he was ready to play hard, but realised that he'd be better off keeping his head down and focusing on surviving the pre-merge. He's going to sit back and watch the chaos unfold.

**Episode 9**

Wei isn’t wanting to get dragged to the end, and is hoping to make some moves by himself.

Kyle has Wei at the top of his trust rankings and they discussed to figure out the holders of the horcruxes.

**Episode 10**

Wei believes Vinny played Hayleigh "like a fiddle". He's managed to chat with everyone at merge, and thinks Vinny , Andy, Hayleigh and Jace. Duolingo also talked to Wei about Vinny, explaining that they were a snake during the Laura vote. He disliked Rip's plan. He was frustrated with Rips trying to dictate everything and 'spouting garbage' as Rips threw Tomato's name to Wei. He then approached Imke and Rips to change the plan from targetting Hayleigh onto targeting Andy. He told Hayleigh and Tomato to play their Horcruxes due to the chaos.

Wei, along with Kyle are at the top of Hayleigh's trust rankings.

**Episode 11**

Wei thinks Tomato is suspicious, and that Imke doesn't think before she talks. He wants to drive a wedge between the two rookies. He won Felix Felicis in the auction, which works as a Choose Your Champion advantage. He plans on voting out Tomato. He's painting a narrative to Imke that Andy leaked everything to Hayleigh , when in reality it was Tomato. He hopes Nikki will calm down a bit more.

Tomato is worried that him and Wei are the swing votes this round. Andy hopes to gain trust with Wei. Imke told Kyle that Tomato is causing drama by encouraging Wei to flip. Wei ultimately didn't flip and voted out Hayleigh.

**Episode 12**

Wei felt like the Hayleigh vote broke his trust with Tomato, but he was able to build more trust with Imke, Nick, Nikki, Kyle and Wes. He feels like in the last 2 votes he's done a lot of leg work and tried to play in the middle. He wants to go to the end with Nikki, which he believes would give him a guaranteed second place minimum, believing they would get 0 jury votes. He also noticed Jace might be playing a better game than him, planning to target him in future. He also fed information to Imke, to make her feel as though he is trustworthy. At the last moments before the vote, he started to feel paranoid, suspecting a blindside on him based on what Kyle said to him.

As Wei and Wes refused to take out Duolingo for saying 'it's not the right time', Jace was annoyed at them. Kyle is worried that Wei might view him as a threat later down the game and starts to paint Wei and Wes as threats instead.

**Episode 13**

Wei approached Imke to plant a seed that Duolingo is untrustworthy. This is potentially what caused Imke to start planning her move on Duolingo, which she coincidentally left Wei out of. A little bit before tribal, Wei became a little paranoid and sensed a blindside coming…

Duolingo feels that Jace, Wes, Wei and Tomato might target him. Tomato noted that Jace leaked the plan to Wei, who leaked to Kyle who then told Duolingo, leading to Duolingo playing the horcrux successfully, idoling out Jace in the process.

**Episode 14**

Wei would like to go to the end with Nikki and Tomato , and is aware that Imke, Wes and Nick are secretly aligned and planning to flip on Kyle and Nikki. He also approached Kyle to tell him he is done with his lies. Kyle was confused and asked Wei to explain. Wei refused, and ghosted him.

Tomato explains that his new ride or die is Wei. Nikki wants to see Wei or Wes voted out, they heard that Wei, Tomato and Kyle want Imke out which confused them. Nick believes that he is playing both sides, one side being Wei and Tomato, the other side being Kyle, Nikki and Duolingo. Kyle heard Wei and Wes's names for the boot but doesn't want that to happen for a better chance at making FTC, but decided to burn Wei and Wes after forming a F3 alliance with Nikki and Duolingo. Nonetheless, Wei and Tomato managed to come clean to Imke and Wes, even painting Kyle wanting to stay "Gryffindor strong", which led to Kyle being blindsided instead.

**Episode 15**

Wei initially didn't want to vote for Kyle last vote, but agreed to do so after finding out about Kyle's betrayal. He hasn't been much vocal and is chilling and sending food pics. After the immunity challenge, Wei has also been rather quiet in his confessionals. However, Tomato noted that he agreed to vote out Imke, and he also came up with a plan to ensure Wes distrusts Imke by using the info that Imke told him about Wes "faking the steal-a-vote" on Nick last round. He puts his trust in Wes and Tomato and the plan followed through as Imke was blindsided in a grand fashion, believing this vote turned tides around for him.

Duolingo claims that Wei has lost his potential Jury vote for "not putting up a fake act" and boldly told him that working together would be impossible. Imke and Nick find Duolingo's beliefs of Tomato, Wei and Wes running the game to be funny and absurd as they believe that they were running the game instead. Tomato felt he couldn't trust Wei as Wei leaked to Imke that he had passed his wand to Wei, but he is in a position where he has to trust Wei. Duolingo was annoyed at Tomato as he believed that Tomato threw the stupefy wand at him, when it was actually Wei. Nick trusts Wei only to a certain extent. Tomato approached Wei with an idea to vote out Imke, and they set the plan together to convince Wes which resulted in a 3-2-2 blindside on Imke.

**Episode 16**

Wei was in the know and felt really good about Imke's vote-out, does not really feel the pressure of the game at the moment and is taking a back-seat. Wei was tight with Tomato and was on-board for the plan to boot Wes, thinking it's "pride-before-the-fall" for Wes as Wes seemingly felt really powerful with numbers and his steal-a-vote advantage. He let Tomato take charge for the vote and eventually voted out Wes together. As Wei survived this episode, he has now reached the finale!

Duolingo believes that Tomato, Wes and Wei are a tight trio. Despite being betrayed, Nick still intends to side with Tomato, Wei and Wes. Tomato and Wei discussed a plan to blindside Wes and waste Wes's steal-a-vote. Nikki was approached by Tomato and Wei to force a 3-3 tie between them and Wes, which ultimately saved them on the revote. Wes attempted to push for Nikki but was blindsided by Tomato and Wei instead.

**Finale**

Final 5

Wei felt tired after making it into the finale. He questions what Tomato wanted, which is to at best, force fire at F4 between Tomato and Nikki or Duolingo by voting out Nick. He believes that he will be safe and heading straight to FTC unless Tomato wins the final immunity challenge, believing that if Nikki or Duolingo wanted to force fire, they would be more willing to go against Tomato instead.

Final 4

Wei didn't really feel bothered by Nick's vote-out although he wanted to question Tomato's decision of wanting to force fire in a situation of 2-2. He wants to sit at FTC with Tomato and Nikki . He also noted that he was a major part of the Jamal, Rips, Hayleigh, Imke and Wes votes. He felt that Nick's attempt to "dunk" his game actually helps him because Duolingo and Nikki would be more inclined to take Tomato out, getting the target off him. He also realized that if he does get to FTC, he needs to be able to explain his game well knowing certain jurors like Nick are out of the loop on his game and probably would not vote for him. After the challenge, Wei had a chat with Duolingo and noted that Duolingo is on board with voting out Tomato, same for Nikki. He is aware of what Tomato had done in an attempt to get the target onto himself and is on board with voting Tomato out. He noted that he has "all the weapons" to beat Duolingo at the end. He also proceeded to approach Tomato where they discussed together about putting 2 votes on Nikki, even though he would be voting Tomato out. He dropped a quote, "I'll vote for you and you'll still give me the vote at FFTC". With the end in sight, he notes that Duolingo and Nikki will have fun dealing with him in FTC if he does make it.

Nikki wants to go to the end with Duolingo and Wei. Tomato noted that if Duolingo wins the F4 immunity, he will have to go after his ride or die, Wei, noting that Nick's departure speech that claimed Wei 'having no shot' helps Wei in the F4 vote instead. Tomato attempted to pitch to Duolingo and Nikki that Wei is a FTC threat, but to no avail. Nikki and Duolingo coordinated with Wei and confirmed a 3-1 vote on Tomato.

Final Tribal Council

Wei mentioned himself sneaking under the radar the whole season without catching any votes to boot but still having a say and was in the loop of how all the votes went. Wei took advantage of the jury's emotions and took the opportunity to go full- in on Duolingo in the question and answers segments, leading to Duolingo blocking him. Nikki believes that Wei might've just taken the crown.

With 7 jury votes, Wei became the first winner of MintOrgs!
