Fight Til The End With Me

*Fight Til The End With Me* is the fourth episode of *Survivor: Alaska*.

* Gameplay
* Confessionals

## Challenges

**Reward/Immunity Challenge:** "Mazes" Link: https://www.mathisfun.com/games/mazes.html in this challenge the tribes need to navigate through a maze as fast as possible on the jagged hard difficulty. The tribe that finished the fastest won immunity and would get clues to where not to go on the advantage grid.

Winner(s): Denali

## Tribal Council

### Voting Confessionals

This honestly really hurts, Jameson. I honestly love you so much and this hurts like hell, but I have to do it for my own game. I wish we didn’t have to go to tribal, and I would’ve loved to go far with you in the game, but alas, I have to do this because it’s my best move. I’m so sorry 😭

## Final Words

Feels like one or two people were quick to trick others into believing something that just wasn’t true — definitely keep that in mind when taking advice from them in the future.
Good luck!

## Day 10

its very minimal but shit were communitcating pubically thats a step Do you think I know nah I’m playing I mean like Chloe and I were replying to eaxhother idek
It seemed like a baby step at the time

Anyways for the confessional question Things went well, yay, happy 😄
My ideal plan is we don’t lose, but idrk what’ll happen if we lose. I think I’ll be in the middle and I honestly don’t know what I’m going to do so I’m hoping we win 🤞

my alliance with Nemo/Bartley has been great, and i'd like if we all trusted one another, but i don't think i can trust Nemo. he revealed in our alliance channel that he knows all of the other members "before this game started", so there is absolutely no way they won't vote lockstep for as long as possible. it'll all come down to me or Bartley next time we're on the tribal council, without a doubt. and i really suspect it'll be me, given the fact that i've had a target on me for awhile. Bartley will be confronted with the fact that 4 of the 6 members are voting Gavin, and he better be the 5th if he wants a shot at being in their good graces. and while i really believe he respects me, and we get along well, the fact is we're playing to win, and he's gotta make the right decision. don't blame him one bit! trying to form an alliance with anyone else at this point seems self-sabotaging, too, since they all know one another and there's no way i could turn them against Nemo. if over half the team knows each other from before the game even began, then that's an unbreakable bond and puts me at a huge disadvantage.
so my strategy is to just find the idol and hope that our team can win to avoid tribal council in the first place! 😅

Like rn I'm feeling pretty nice about my position in the tribe 🤩 I've never heard my name whatsoever- which I find incredible tbh

Where I am a little disappointed is that Hoola and Jameson felt the need to vote for Gavin in the event of an idol. It doesn’t build tribal unity moving forward. With that said, I forgot my Tribal ranking before we went into TC! So here it is: 1. Nemo 2. Gavin 3. Jameson 4. Dani 5. Hoola 6. Aster If our tribe goes to TC again, it’s going to be a difficult vote. We really are at a point where the 6 of us get along very well. I would imagine myself or Gavin would be likely targets, given that there are pre-existing relationships among the other 4, and, to their credit - Gavin and myself have painted ourselves into the same corner. With that said - it might be an opportunity for players to seek some revenge or take out a larger threat. (I mean, I’m the biggest threat - but they don’t need to know that.) I could see the vote moving to Hoola, Jameson, or Nemo. I think Dani is in the safest position here.
And I still have my idol, so if I need to play it to get to a likely swap - new beginnings can always be my future.

## Day 11

All five scored combined are shorter than hers And like I just got lucky So it’s not like this comp takes all this skilll Sure some But if you just keep going and going for like 30 minutes you’ll get like 45 seconds or less cause eventually you’ll get a map that’s just a straight shot if you don’t take a wrong turn which if you do a maze like you should with one eye ahead looking where you gotta go you should be fine There’s some maps where you can make a choice like either down or right let’s say and if you just take a second to look ahead one usually dead ends quickly
That’s the thing I like about these Jagged Hard if you mess up usually it’s not game breaker yes there’s some maps where if you make a wrong turn you’ll be tracing the whole damn thing but at the point I’m hitting new

Nemo just said this: Honestly I want y’all to stay in but I don’t want to sacrifice my game to do it if you get what I’m saying, y’all would do the same
so i’m pretty much toast

Like yea safety is nice but losing multiple rounds in a row really tests everyones loyalty So i never realized until recently and this may be me reading too much into it but early on when i tried asking Kam who she wanted to work with, she said she was fine working with anyone which made me think she was that good socially with everyone on the tribe and she could be a social threat to look out for down the line Also hoping I don’t get swap fucked :))))
Or if i do pls let us win until merge 😂🤷🏻‍♀️

Strength does definitely play a factor, and voting Dani out has crossed my mind significantly since she hasn’t done the best in challenges. But also I messed up this challenge as well so I can’t really fault her. Ok so there’s two things that can happen in my view If I cause a split vote with the mafia gang It goes 2-2-2 and then I could flip to Gavin and Bartley And nobody from mafia gang would expect that since I didn’t do it for aster and we all worked for it
But is that the right move for me?

I think if Gavin, Bartley, and I want to vote Jameson, I will probably go for it, since I think I could link back up with Hools and Dani much easier But on the other hand, I do trust Jameson as much as I do Gavin, and what if I talk with Bartley, and him and I go with Hools, Dani, and Jameson, and the five of us all work together, and then I still am guaranteed to keep trust with everyone that survived But could I get Bartley to vote for Gavin?
And I don’t even know who Gavin, Bartley, and I would vote!

That along with Gavin voting for me are my only worries right now, but they’re quite irrational tbh so it seems like it’s another voting that’s being controlled by dani 😌💅

My biggest concern is the remnants of the other tribe being tighter than ours so if there is a swap and I fall in a minority I do expect to be at a strong disadvantage I believe there is no swaps this season and for me that is fine, my big concern about not having a swap is Linus, I love the guy and I expect him to be loyal to the five but he in my opinion isn’t someone we can let get that far at all..now if he does go on a immunity win train the best thing to do is make sure he doesn’t drive any damn bus, I know that’s thinking extremely far in a head but I expect no swaps and us winning probably till merge unless a twist, and if there is no swaps a newbie pagong though boring is best for my game so we will see
I’m just at a point now where I need to start making calculated moves to prepare for things like a Pagong, a Linus immunity train, and even Malik not being super loyal, cause tbh I’d just pick off newbies then the outskirts of Denali but who knows

Rn the two people I overall trust the most in tiers: yaaaaas hunny Dani Hell ye Jameson allies who I trust hehe Nemo Bartley hell to the no
Gavin

I really feel like it works both ways for me. Personally I really enjoy being able to win these comps and stay on good terms with my tribemates since I haven't been forced to scheme against any of them just yet. It brings certain members close and it also leaves us comfortable enough to lay back and forget to reply to everyone. For instance I haven't heard back from Kam in 4 days 😬 yikes. I am not sure if I should initiate another conversation or continue to wait on her reply on the old conversation. Meanwhile I talk to Malik every single day and Linus is really fun to talk to as well. What I am nervous about though is that my recent on and off activity due to family outings or just pure busyness is affecting my relationships with the others. I know I have not been the most active yet at the same time I feel like I made strong enough connections to keep me here if we happen to go to tribal again as original Denali.
I have no idea how people think of me, but I do know is that I need to slowly step up my game

Current trust ranking: Gavin, Nemo, Dani, Jameson, Hoola

So 1. Hoola 2. Bartley 3. Nemo 4. Jameson
5. Gavin

1. Kamen 2. Malik 3. Kam 4. Linus or Elizabeth Chloe The issue is I don’t think I’m anybody’s 1
But that’s fine

Chloe Elizabeth Malik Kamen Kam Adam Least trusted (Not that I distrust Adam at all even. I just don’t talk to him as much as I do others
)

## Day 12

But I also think a day off means like no tribal no challenge Rather than like hey y’all can’t talk
So we Gucci

It sucks

Additionally, I may have made a mistake by telling Gavin I have an idol. Which surprisingly he didn’t seem all that enthused about. He is either feeling completely defeated or has something up his sleeve. With that said, now that he knows, he didn’t react the way I would have hoped so it’s better with him gone. I am likely not playing my idol tonight, even knowing that Jameson and Nemo will likely toss a vote my way. I figure the worst case scenario for me is a 3-3 tie between myself and Gavin. If such is the case, I feel pretty confident the votes would swap in my favor. The other likely scenarios are 3 for Gavin, 2 for me, and 1 for Jameson OR Hoola/Jameson/Dani blindside Nemo. I’m still banking that Gavin goes home. He hasn’t tried to build relationships with the other players and everyone assumes we will be swapped. If we are not swapped, Nemo thinks I’m toast. Which - I have that idol - so I’m a little worried thinking about 2 potential rounds - but it is something to fall back on. The other thing is I’ve forged a side alliance with Hoola/Jameson/Nemo and it’s entirely possible they would swing for Nemo first. If this is the case, I save my idol just in case. There are a lot of risky calculations on my end to consider, but with the cards stacked against me - this is exactly what my game needs to stand above the rest. Furthermore, if Gavin does go home in a 3-2-1 vote, it will look like I am on the bottom. If we are swapped, I can work that to my advantage to put a target on the other 4 should numbers not be in our favor. I love Nemo and I really like Gavin. But Nemo is playing for himself and Gavin is barely playing - socially speaking. If I have to position myself to play the wildcard game, I’m ready to do so.
If I do go home tonight with idol in pocket - I didn’t have much to lose anyway. 🤷‍♂️

So yeah! I’ve also started becoming close with Jameson, so he’s rising in my trust rankings while nemo is FALLING very quickly LMAO

But also - Jameson & Nemo - I won’t forget how easily you wrote my name down just in case.
