Dennis

**Dennis** was a player in Mythvivor: Takachiho and the Villain of the Season and 2nd Runner-Up of Mythvivor: Valhalla - Second Chances.

## Takachiho

During Takachiho, Dennis was well-known for his alliance with Arceus (whom he referred to as "Archie").

Dennis started the season on the Amaterasu tribe, where he found himself on the outs of the majority alliance. However, his connections with Anna and Arceus and his work with them on the idol hunt kept him in the alliance's good graces and they booted Camazotz over him in the famous 10-minute tribal council.

In "I Am Not Rude, You Are Wrong?!," Dennis swapped onto the Tanuki tribe, which avoided the first couple of tribal councils. He was on the Shinano boat in the Boat Tour challenge, but was able to win the challenge and return to Tanuki. There, he would work with Arceus and his other allies to vote out Marcus despite getting targeted by Marcus and Tommy.

Dennis was able to maneuver his way through many tribal councils with his partner-in-crime "Archie." Arceus even let him in on his idol play where the two of them voted out Norah, despite Ocean's wishes that Tommy get voted out instead.

At the final 7, while Anna, Arceus, and Dennis were originally targeting Jay, who was known to be a big threat, Ocean gave Jay his immunity necklace. While the group then turned their attention towards voting out Ocean, this greatly hindered their plans and they were unable to protect Dennis from the vote. At Final Tribal Council, Dennis voted for Ocean to win the game due to his self-awareness during his speech and questioning. Dennis received the Best Duo Award with "Archie" (Arceus) as well as Coffee's Host Favorite Award for his positivity and thoughtfulness during Final Tribal Council.

## Valhalla

Dennis started Mythvivor: Valhalla on the Haugbui tribe, which did not attend tribal council. He then swapped onto the Urdr tribe with his fellow Haugbui members, Peanut, Camazotz, and Skylar. This tribe never attended tribal council, but he was able to have strong enough bonds to be one of the winners of the 39 Stones challenge and swap onto the Hodur tribe. He even won his Boat Tour challenge on Gokstad with Tommy. He never attended any tribal council throughout the pre-merge portion of the game.

At merge, he began to feel more disconnected from his former tribemates, Peanut and Camazotz, and focused on his new relationships. He joined the consensus vote-outs on the merge tribe. He grew closer with Thomas. When Anna stole his vote to attempt to vote out Thomas, Dennis jumped into action. He helped get the vote on Anna instead, swaying Goober, Norah, and Thicc to his cause.

Dennis was one of the most aware players of the Goober-Norah dynamic. He attempted to get the votes onto Norah at the final 6, saving his ally, Thomas, pointing out the game landscape to Thicc and Moonool. Unfortunately, Moonool leaked everything to his Minesweeper alliance with Goober and Norah, hindering any of Dennis's attempts and ensuring Thomas would get voted out.

At the next tribal council, Norah publicly announced her idol to the tribe. Dennis voted with Goober and Norah against Moonool, hoping to vote Norah out at the final 4 tribal council. Unfortunately for Dennis, Norah won the Final Immunity Challenge. Goober and Dennis agreed to vote out Thicc together, securing Dennis's spot at Final Tribal Council. At Final Tribal Council, Dennis was stuck between the goliaths of Goober and Norah. However, he did earn the respect of Sybil, and earned her jury vote. Dennis won Villain of the Season for his villainous, yet fun, confessionals and overall approach to the game.

### Voting History

1 As a result of the Flåm Railway challenge, Tommy's vote was randomized at Tribal Council 11. His vote was randomized to Dennis.

2 Anna and Moonool combined their amulets for a Steal a Vote. They stole Dennis's vote which was officially given to Anna.

### Jay's Thoughts

Similar to Camazotz, Dennis didn’t go to any pre-merge tribals, and his success grew from the merge on. Dennis owned a perfect voting record outside of the time his vote was stolen at final 7, and he found a way to navigate his way to the final three despite being on the bottom at certain points. Unfortunately for Dennis, facing off against Norah and Goober was a death sentence for his chances of winning the game, but he did secure Sybil’s vote, which gave us a very iconic final reading of the vote when we came to learn that season 5 would be decided by one vote. Dennis more than got his redemption this season after being voted out for the first time in his org career in Takachiho, and it was pretty awesome having him back.
