Epoxy

Epoxy is a contestant on Visionary Survivor: Fans vs Favorites and Visionary Survivor: Blood vs Water.

## Fans vs Favorites Summary

Epoxy’s game is best described as a rollercoaster gradually rising up to its peak and then finally dropping. While her gameplay in the beginning wasn’t terribly exciting nor all that present, with every day spent in the game her position seemed to improve. Since the Faen tribe never went to a tribal council before the swap she didn’t have to worry too much about her social or strategical games. After the swap however, her game started to become more visible.

As a result of the swap Epoxy remained on the Faen tribe with Cole, Logan, Myka, and Paul. Logan and Paul had made themselves pretty big targets on the original Faen tribe, so after they lost the first post-swap challenge the options of who to vote for were rather obvious. Initially the trio of Cole, Epoxy, and Myka wanted to take out Logan due to his challenge capabilities, but they settled for Paul due to being wary of any advantages Logan may have. Thus, Paul was eliminated unanimously and willed his legacy advantage to Logan.

After winning the next two challenges the merge had arrived. Epoxy hovered around the edge of the social groups for a bit but integrated herself rather well within the first few days of the merge. After the first challenge, Logan had emerged as the obvious first merge target. Everyone was on board for voting Logan and yet Epoxy was the only one to question whether or not it was a safe play. It was such an obvious vote that Logan had been expecting it from before the challenge, which made Epoxy consider asking the majority to split the votes. But ultimately she decided against her gut and just went with the consensus plan. Unfortunately her intuition was correct, as Logan played a legacy advantage to eliminate Cole.

For the next few votes Epoxy hovered around in the middle of the tribe, doing her best to capitalize on her range of connections. At the final seven she started to raise the intensity a bit with a risky move. Booty had become the biggest name on the block, which Epoxy didn’t agree with since she just viewed him as a goat. So she came up with a plan to convince everyone that Booty had an idol in an attempt to get them to change targets. And it worked beautifully, no one questioned her and the target was changed to Hoeah who was believed to be a safe vote.

At the final six Epoxy was basically on the same page as Mufasa, just without the two legacy advantages to make a move with. She wanted Myka out because he was a jury threat and she needed to start taking out the threats to give her a better shot at winning. Since Mufasa was already planning the same thing, the vote was executed fairly easily and Myka was sent home. After Mufasa won immunity at the final five, from her perspective it was a toss up between Booty and Logan. Epoxy was still adamant about taking Booty to the end, and preferred to take Lexa as well, which left Logan as the only other person to vote for. Mufasa had secured the numbers to eliminate Booty, but after Lexa forgot to vote Logan was eliminated.

At the final four the game had essentially turned into Epoxy versus Mufasa. Whoever lost immunity was likely to be eliminated, the only way they both had a fighting chance was if they both lost immunity. But no matter what happened one of them was likely to go before the final tribal council. So after Mufasa won the final immunity challenge, Epoxy’s fate had been sealed and she was eliminated in a unanimous 3-1 vote.

## Blood vs Water Summary

Epoxy came into the season seeking redemption after falling just short of the final tribal council of season 8. Falling only 7 minutes short in the Final Immunity Challenge, she was the final player voted out of Fans vs Favorite. Going into the season, the entire community was exhilarated to see her return to the game. Her partner, Quizzy, also created quite the excitement for spectators in the early game.

Her early allies on the Zeus tribe were expected picks. She had played with Giully previously, who was also very close to Matt. She also seemed to like Kaden and Wyatt early on, although Wyatt eventually placed himself in hot water. After winning the first two challenges, the Zeus tribe seemed to be unstoppable. However, after the third challenge, Epoxy and the Zeus tribe attended their first tribal council. Despite having her team’s highest score, the team ultimately lost due to a tie breaker.

As tribal council began, Wyatt threw out names immediately. After everyone compared notes, they determined that he would be an easy elimination from the tribe. Epoxy voted with the majority, with the votes landing 8-1-1, with one rogue vote on Matthew. Epoxy deduced that this vote was cast by Joel, but in reality it came from Darryl.

Upon reaching the swap, Epoxy seemed to be in a difficult position. On the new Hera tribe, only Epoxy, Jay, and Matthew remained of the old Zeus tribe. In the next challenge, Epoxy once again achieved her team’s highest score and was able to keep her tribe safe once more. Unfortunately, she could not combat Giully’s circle in the next challenge, and the Zeus tribe attended the sixth tribal council of the season.

A glimmer of hope suddenly seemed to reach out to Epoxy - a willingness from Enrique and other new players to vote out Toon due to his lack of a social connection with others and poor challenge performance. The vote was set to be unanimous, despite concerns from Epoxy and the other returnees. Unluckily for Epoxy, Toon had acquired an exit ticket on the old Hera tribe. Despite Epoxy’s concerns and pleas to split a single vote, she did not go through with the plan. Every vote at the tribal council was nullified by Toon’s exit, sending the group to rocks. Unfortunately, Epoxy’s luck ran out in the game. Epoxy, despite her amazing connections with her tribemates, was eliminated by rocks.

In Epoxy’s first season, she allowed Cole to be eliminated against Logan’s Legacy Advantage, hoping to build her relationships and seeing Cole’s threat level. However, this season, her decision to not split the vote off of the public target spelled her demise. She received no votes during the season, but was eliminated by a simple 1 in 7 chance in 15th place.
