Will

**Will** (fuzzygreenjacket#2681) placed 9th in Season 2 & 5th in Season 5.

A prominent member of Vula, Will began the game in a good position, finding himself in the dominant Eevee Alliance with Emy and Anthony. After the initial swap, Anthony and Will found themselves a duo in a new tribe but were thankfully able to win immunity and avoid a rocky 2-2-1 split Tribal Council. After the second swap, Will’s game began to unravel as the Eevee Alliance officially died after Will pushed back against the other two heavily to keep Brandon in the game. With Brandon as his new #1, Will was determined to play both sides at the merge and integrate himself with both Brandon and Anthony’s side of the game. After Brandon’s blindside, however, Will had to grovel back to the Eevee Alliance and successfully gaslit them into feeling sorry for him and keeping him aligned with them, all while planning his betrayal of them. His continuing playing of both sides on the main made him a target, with immunity his only saving grace. In the end, his double dealing caught up with him when Gabriel believed his social game to rival his own, orchestrating his blindside with an idol in his pocket in a 5-2-2 vote. He is best remembered for Bulbasaur, his double immunity run frustrating those wanting to target him, and his failure to steal Anthony’s idol when offered it.

Initially wanting to play just to cause drama in Season 5, Will decided to attempt an UTR game for the win when actually placed onto the Gata Tribe. This would prove fairly successful, as he was integrated into the majority alliance of Gata “I Heart Milfs.” Will found himself potentially on the outs after a swap, as the only person on the tribe that genuinely wanted to keep Ruby in the game. However, her DQ and another tribe swap saw this washed away and allowed him to continue to place himself in the middle. He was also able to find the Kisiti Extra Vote before the merge. At the merge, the OG Gata found themselves facing a potential pagonging. However, Will’s middle position would extend into even the Kisiti territory when he was reunited with Season 2 ally Anthony. Will seemed to urge Anthony to give into his messy side all season as a shield, albeit seeing little success beyond getting Anthony to spill the entire dynamics of the Kisiti tribe as well as expose Suari for lying about not flipping at the Sipi Tribe. They formed another tight trio with Harry called “The Three Little Icons” that were able to control much of the game due to their good social games. Will was particularly okay with this alliance carrying on, as Harry was a very aggressive player and Anthony’s threat level was the highest in the game. His plan, not knowing of Anthony’s many advantages, was to ride with this group to the Final Six before attempting to rid of his shield. While doomed to fail from the start due to Anthony’s advantages, Will’s game would crumble at the Final 8 when he wanted Lucas out. When some last-minute scrambling revealed a potential idol play, Will took advantage of Anthony’s idol to eliminate Lucas, despite Lucas having longer-term plans with him. This was the first nail in his coffin, as almost all of the remaining players wanted him out before the F3 more than Lucas did. At the following vote, the final nail in his coffin was set. He wanted to flush all or as many of Anthony and Azzy’s advantages as he could, wanting to take advantage of Harry’s aggressive campaigning to get Anthony out. This sent alarms off to Anthony, however, when it became clear that Will was up to something. While Will relented and decided to just eliminate challenge threat Bel and restrategize his plan, Anthony’s paranoia got the best of him as he and Azzy attempted to go behind Will’s and Izzy’s backs and use their voting advantages to blindside Harry. This resulted in a tied vote, where Will was forced to cut his shield earlier than anticipated. He scrambled for a new gameplan, notably with Bel who saw right through him. He was a deadman walking at this point, as his many F3 deals with most of the cast were exposed to each other. After he won the F6 immunity, Will decided to orchestrate a villainous move and tell Harry they were playing their shared idol on Suari to idol Bel out. In reality, this was all a ruse to make Harry feel safe so that he wouldn’t play his Shot in the Dark. Harry was notably yet another person sent to the jury that didn’t necessarily want Will out ASAP for certain. When Will failed to win the F5 immunity challenge, he initially wanted to cut Azzy. However, the rest of the cast deceived him that Bel was the vote in case of an idol play from him, and blindsided him in a 3-2-1 vote. He is remembered for playing a strong UTR middleman game that saw a series of unfortunate decisions leave him completely exposed.
