Slug

Slug is a contestant on Visionary Survivor: Continental Conflict and Visionary Survivor: Fans vs Favorites.

## Continental Conflict Summary

It’s impossible to know where to begin with Slug, and no recap or summary will ever do him justice. Anyone who knows Slug knows how chaotic he is, and he makes it apparent with every first impression opportunity he gets. His confessionals throughout the season mostly just consisted of him talking about how much he hated Fury as well as other castaways. But even with how memey of a castaway he was, there actually were some glimpses of him developing strategies that were unfortunately never put to successful use.

At the start of the game Slug was approached by Fury to start some drama in the one world chat. Knowing that some people suspected that they had a pre-existing relationship from the spectator lounge, Fury wanted to distance himself from Slug a bit by pushing a narrative that they disliked each other. However, over time their feud ironically began to become more real and eventually they were both each other’s number one enemies on Da Gama. Which was confusing for Brainish, Jethro and Otter because due to both of their meme like natures, no one knew whether their beef was actually serious, if it was a meme, or if it was a game ploy.

On top of his beef with Fury, Slug also made it very apparent at the first live challenge that he didn’t like Star, as for what reason… who knows? At the first immunity challenge, Slug was the sole representative for the Da Gama tribe. So, in true Slug nature, he told everyone in the game that he was going to throw the challenge. Which he did, at first. But after Hoeah and Mikl won immunity for Cortés and Cartier respectively, Slug started taunting Star, who was competing for Magellan, while also beginning to take the challenge seriously. He proceeded to completely leave Star in the dust throughout the remainder of the challenge in hopes that he would be eliminated.

After settling into his tribe for the first few days, as Slug’s hatred for Fury increased, so did his want for another mutiny. And when the chance came on day seven, he took it in a heartbeat. However, it was risky. On the Cartier tribe he was on good terms with both Rochelle and Mikl due to the one world twist, but he knew he’d be in deep trouble if he was moved to the Cortés tribe that absorbed Star after Magellan was decimated. Unfortunately, Slug was faced with an uphill battle after being moved to Cortés as a result of his decision to mutiny. While many names were thrown out at camp after they lost the second challenge post Slug’s mutiny with Jethro, Slug seemed to be the main name that every agreed with. And while Slug was eliminated in a 6-3-1-1 vote, fittingly enough his tribal council sparked many waves throughout Cortés that impacted the future of the game in numerous ways.

## Fans vs Favorites Summary

Known as the most unpredictable castaway in Visionary prior to his return in season eight, Slug was certainly one of the bigger dark horses in this season. A lot of spectators assumed he would go far as a goat or be eliminated fairly early due to his unpredictable nature, but to pleasant surprise he was far more involved socially and strategically than most expected.

On day one Slug made a final two alliance with practically everyone on the Favorites tribe. Surprisingly, but in true Slug nature, he received absolutely no backlash for this. While he had all these side agreements, his true allegiance was primarily to Booty. The two of them lead the charge against the season six alumni rather early. While initially they just wanted Izaak gone as an easy first boot, they unintentionally ended up targeting the other Haiti veterans throughout all of the pre-merge. After Izaak was eliminated, Slug and Ry had developed an interesting and somewhat confusing rivalry.

Due to the Favorites losing every challenge pre-swap, Slug had many chances to try and eliminate Ry. And yet, it never seemed to work. After the third tribal council of the season Slug was pissed to see he was the only person to vote for Ry as Bandit was eliminated. Now with confirmation that people weren’t willing to target Ry yet, including Slug’s main ally Booty who tried to get them to work together, Slug was willing to hold off as Booty lead a vote against Ephraim. The vote shouldn’t have worked as the trio of Booty, Elx, and Slug was outnumbered 4-3, but after Ry forgot to vote they lucked out when Ephraim was eliminated by wheel due to the tie.

After Ephraim was taken out, Slug was confident that he had the numbers and decided to pursue a vote against Ry after the Favorites lost again. He had enough to tie with Booty and Elx, but due to Hoeah’s loyalty to Giully and Ry there was no hope for either side to come up with a majority. That is until Giully came up with and executed a plan to unintentionally split up their votes by getting Booty to write down Giully’s name while Elx and Slug continued to target Ry. For whatever reason, Booty fell for the bait without discussing with Elx or Slug, which resulted in a 3-2-1 vote that sent Elx home.

Coming off of the unintentional split vote Slug yet again felt betrayed by Booty’s actions. Thus, when they remained on the Raykar Pord tribe with Giully and were joined by two new fans due to the swap, they weren’t nearly as effective as they could’ve been in terms of building relationships. Slug was completely open about everything that happened on the Favorites tribe to Lexa and Mufasa which included throwing Booty and Giully under the bus, Booty was doing his best to convince Lexa and Mufasa that they should work with them to blindside Giully, and Giully did her best to throw Booty and Slug under the bus. The original Raykar Pord tribe was so dysfunctional that instead of using their 3-2 majority to improve their numbers against the original Faen tribe, they preferred to continue targeting each other.

After losing the second post-swap challenge, the vote really came down to whoever Lexa and Mufasa trusted the most at the time. Unfortunately for Slug, they trusted Giully more and the numbers made more sense that way anyway. As a result, Slug was eliminated in a close 3-2 vote.

## Return Interviews

**What does it mean to you to be considered a Fan Favorite in the Visionary community?**
It means im iconic and can easily sell my feet pics and merch. I'm happy I made an impact good or bad and I'm just happy I can make people hate me or like me because that's epic, why be liked if you can't have people hate you.
**What are your expectations for this season in terms of competition?**
Well I expect it to be hard, I know that I'll have to step up social and strategic game if I want a chance to win. I seen the people in the ballot and some of them are strong players so I'm hoping they aren't in the season but it's whatever i'm ready to take out anyone.
**How do you expect the mixed cast of veterans and newbies to impact the season? Are you more nervous about the veterans returning or the newbies who are getting their first chance?**
I'm concerned about the Veterans, like I said before they're some big minds, I would like to get them out if I were able to but I'm more excited to be returning. Newbies should be easy to deal with, I could say I'm a bad veteran and not a threat to their game because hey i'm the person who lost early why am I gonna be a huge threat?
**Coming in as the veterans of the season do you feel that it’s the Favorites job to uphold their stature and give the Fans a tough fight?**
No I don't really care about fighting I'm there to win fan favorite again and be entertaining, winning is just a bonus. Also I don't have anything to uphold except the drama so I'm gonna tone that down a bit and try my best to lay under the radar.
**What’s your main goal this season now that you’ve been given another chance?**
