Fifty Shades Of Stupid

Tomato's at his wit's end!

**Fifty Shades Of Stupid** is the seventh episode of MintORGs Season 1: Hogwarts.

## Story

### Lupin

**Duolingo** sees a merge on the horizon, and thinks that if him and Laura make merge, that'll be a miracle in of itself. He thinks merge will be at Final 13, with 10 or 11 jurors, depending on whether it's a F3 or F2. Meredith told him that she was offered to join a Slytherin-Ravenclaw alliance. Duolingo really wants Riley gone, saying “if I'm going down, I'm taking Riley down with me”. Riley threw Meredith 's name to Duolingo, which he highly doubted was true. Duolingo started to become very frustrated, feeling like Riley was harassing him. He feels bullied by Riley, and apparently Nikki is feeling the same.

**Imke** also picked up on Riley's behaviour towards Duolingo, saying that Riley was apparently gaslighting and spreading rumours about the Hufflepuff player. Because of this, Imke feels like this tribal couldn't have come at a better time. Imke decided to play the middle, being in an alliance with the people on both sides of the vote. In the end, she betrayed Riley, Meredith and Jace in voting out Riley. #SecretAgentImke

**Kyle** didn't expect Lupin to be able to hit the 10k, but they did! Kyle noted that Riley wanted to lose the challenge to save Andy, who might be in danger. Kyle thought this was a bit silly. Kyle realised that Rips, Nikki and Duolingo either wanted Riley out or would be fine with him going. Kyle then found out about the TEA - the drama between Riley and Duolingo. Hearing that Duolingo was feeling bullied, Kyle was immediately willing to support him and take out Riley, saying that what Riley was doing was absolutely not okay. He noted Imke was the middle person in the vote. Kyle deliberately ignored Riley during tribal out of principle after hearing Duolingo was being mistreated.

**Meredith** found herself caught in the middle of the mess between Duolingo and Riley. According to Riley, Duolingo was making up lies. She hated the drama and was feeling drained by it all, trying to stay out of it. Had the vote been between Jace and Rips, Meredith would've been willing to go to rocks. She was very disappointed to see Imke betraying her, Riley and Jace.

**Nikki** thinks the Lupin tribe is chaotic, and they didn't want to go to tribal. They heard Duolingo and Riley were fighting, and was fed up of the situation. They feel like it's their fault Riley started treating Duolingo badly, saying they should've kept their mouth shut. They were happy to see Riley voted out after an emotional and stressful tribal.

**Riley** was annoyed about Lupin losing the challenge, despite initially wanting to lose to save Andy. He noted Meredith leaked a lot of information about game dynamics, so Riley confronted Duolingo. He noted Duolingo then went to campaign, his plan to force a tie on Rips. He felt like he played a messy game this round, and was voted out after Imke flipped.

**Rips** found the vote against Riley to be straightforward, but he wanted to get Meredith and Jace out most. He picked up the votes from Riley's alliance, but ultimately was saved by Imke flipping.

### Slughorn

**Andy** was sad to see Freeze go, and joined the Slughorn tribe in his place. However, Freeze's elimination is not game ending, because Andy feels he has other options. He gained a Horcrux from the Chamber of Secrets! With Vinny top of his trust ranking, and Wes bottom, he's not feeling too comfortable, saying he's 'heavily outnumbered'. He found it insane that Slughorn won by 13 points, and is glad to not be at tribal. Upon hearing Riley was voted out he was not happy!

**Hayleigh** was feeling good about the challenge, being the one to suggest 10,013 as the target score for Slughorn. She was glad to finally have a break from tribal, but felt like her tribemates had been a little ‘bland' recently.

**Laura** was very proud of her tribe for winning! She was glad to see Duolingo survived the vote, and suspects a Slytherin pagong is coming, with Andy being the next target on Slughorn.

**Nick** was pleased the vote went according to plan, being glad to have the opportunity to avenge Kieran. He also learned how Kieran was voted out, with Andy, Riley and Freeze leading it, with Andy the ringleader. He also thinks taking out Andy will prove difficult, suspecting he has an advantage from the Chamber of Secrets. It was Nick's idea to do a few extra numbers, which ultimately won the challenge for Slughorn. He thinks he has Tomato and Wes in his corner “100%”.

**Tomato** found it REALLY awkward talking with Andy, saying they had nothing in common. He thinks Nick wants revenge on Riley too, who is at the top of Tomato's trust ranking of players on the other tribe. He was VERY proud to win immunity, especially noting that this time he was "part of the reason we won, not the reason we lost". He was also proud of Nick and Hayleigh for their efforts in the challenge.

**Vinny** feels like the Slytherin players are being picked off, telling this to Andy as well. They are close with Tomato and Hayleigh, and needs to build on their relationship with Wei and Nick.

**Wei** was pleased to have won a challenge, and also pleased that he finally took part! He felt like he really needed the win.

**Wes** was unbothered by Freeze's elimination. They also think that if Slughorn loses, Andy would get voted out. They were pleased to have done well in the challenge, but thinks their social ranking is terrible. They don't feel safe right now in Slughorn, saying all it takes is one throwaway comment to ruin your game.
