Suari

**Suari** (Suari#1434) placed 16th in Season 4, 4th in Season 5, & 10th in Survivor Season 10.

Starting off quiet on the Apolo Tribe, Suari did not immediately make strong bonds with his tribe. This caused many to consider him as a shady player despite only being inactive early on, becoming someone to consider voting out. Despite this, Suari was able to find a Hidden Immunity Idol and secure himself in a “3 Musketeers” alliance with Ace & Dangan. Unfortunately, Dexter really wanted him out and Dex was too afraid to push for his target Ace to go, so the decision came down to Dangan to consider if he wanted to vote out Dex to get rid of a duo or Suari who was considered an outsider. At the third tribal council, Suari is remembered for being very put off by Ace’s theatrics in reassuring Dex that he is safe out of nowhere, leading many to be on the edge of their seat for an idol play. In the end, a 3-2 vote blindsided Suari when Dangan chose to keep the duo as a shield as well as for (ironically) idol guessing, sending him home with an idol in his pocket. He is also remembered for his positive attitude toward the game and the server.

Excited to be back in Season 5 and eager to show that he went too early, Suari integrated himself well into the Gata Tribe. He was on good terms socially with most of this tribe, and they were able to avoid their tribal councils. After the first swap, Suari put his game into high gear as the swap was a 3-3 OG tribe split. Suari instantly clocked Anthony as a big threat, but knew he likely could not crack one of the Kisiti three. Rather than go to a tie, Suari quickly decided to flip as he was not particularly close with Niall or Kazeno anyway, and began fostering a relationship with fellow Season 4 returnee Dex, as well as being amicable to Anthony and Azzy. His bond with Dex allowed him to be put into the best position on this tribe, as Dex was willing to vote from his own alliance before touching Suari, much to Anthony’s annoyance as Suari was now in his head rent free. He was very heavy-handed in getting Niall out first on this tribe, as he wanted to nerf Anthony’s chances at allies. The second swap saw him reunited with some of his old Gata allies, and when asked about how he survived he decided to lie and say that they tried to be Gata strong, but one of the Kisiti 3 had a vote nullifier. This would later come back to bite him at the merge, as it lost a lot of trust with the OG Gata and put a target firmly on his back. At the merge with this lie blowing up in his face, Suari’s game would go on autopilot. He was consistently viewed as a threat, but he did the bare minimum socially and strategically to scrape by from here on out to be viewed as inactive and not a threat. Notably, he even skipped bidding at the auction despite being on the bottom so that “no one would look at him that round,” only for him to be the immediate name tossed to be voted out by Anthony’s alliance. He was fortunately saved when some last minute scrambling saw Anthony become aware of Harry’s alliance (including Suari) attempting to blindside him, wherein Anthony became paranoid and idoled out his own ally Lucas. Following this, Suari could taste the finish line as he got nearer and nearer and began to attempt to play a bit more of a strategically active game again like his premerge. This would prove effective until the Final 4, when Bel was essentially guaranteed to win immunity. Hoping his good friend would take him, he was heartbroken when Bel broke the news that due to her past season trauma she was not going to take her friend if she thought they played well. Suari’s game was pinpointed as the strongest due to his UTR merge play as well as strong premerge, and he was a dead man walking the entire round. He did not give up entirely, however, briefly attempting to flip Azzy to no avail. At Tribal Council, he made it obvious he knew his name was coming up and conceded defeat to Pandora’s questioning despite being given a platform to campaign for his game. He was unsurprised to see himself sent to the jury in a 3-1 vote, feeling extremely defeated that he was so close to pitching his case to win. He is remembered for his dedication to the season, embodying the theme of “redemption” going from 16th place to a Final 4 threat.

Placed on the Beauty Tribe in Season 10 for his social game in Season 5, Suari would be vaguely on the outs of the original Totoka Tribe. While there was not necessarily a core alliance to Totoka as they were a "friendship" tribe, Suari would catch strays for being a three time player as well as using more strategy on a tribe that preferred an UTR, coaster approach to early game. Suari would luck out and find an idol at the tribe swap, as well as swap with a numerical advantage to integrate him fully with Totoka. At the Final 14 earn the merge, Suari would abandon this alliance's safety, however, to make a big move with Dangan's voting bloc due to finding the proceedings of the game boring. Additionally, Dave was rumored to have thrown out Suari's own name, so it was his chance to gag some bitches if true! Following this round, Suari would be a target of basically the entire game from here on out, and his flip flopping loyalties to Totoka and Dangan did not help his position. At the F13, Suari was the scapegoat from the Totokas if an idol was played for Dylan, which Dangan tipped him off to after Suari confided in him of his idol. At the Final 11, Suari's position would temporarily flip and his prospects seemed to be good, when he made a genuinely good alliance with Sage and seemed to be gaining the trust finally of other players. Unfortunately, a demerge saw him as an easy target when Danny flipped on him immediately and lost their 2-2-1 potential advantage. Suari threw his entire castawussy into saving himself, pitching from all angles and never giving up until the bitter end, including using his Shot in the Dark. It would come up Not Safe, unfortunately, and Suari would join the jury in a 3 - 0 vote.
