Season 2 Episode Recaps

Recaps for everything that happened in Trevivor Season 2: Hades' Fury!

## **Episode 1: "**Am I on the horny tribe?" - Mas

21 prisoners are lined up in Hades’ corridors and are separated into 3 tribes of 7. First, Asphodel consisting of **CLAY, GOD, MAS, NAVI, PRAY, TRIS,** and **TYLER.** Then, Elysian consisting of **AARON, ALEX, ASHY B, CASS, HOLLIE, KOWBOY,** and **RENEE.** Finally, Tartarus consisting of **CARP, IRIS, KAGE, NICK, SILENCE, VIOLET,** and **WINSTON**

With the beginning of the game came an introduction to our new currency system for this season! The Obol System is full of many twists and surprises to come in the future of the season! The basics of this system is that every prisoner begins the game with 1 Obol and through a variety of things such as receiving a vote at tribal, doing well in certain challenges, and other ways.

Another big twist of the season is the **House of Hades**, in which every cycle within the premerge each tribe had to vote on who would go to this House and duel against someone from the other winning tribe for the gain of Obols. At the merge the contestants will gain the opportunity to spend these Obols on the market…

As for the competition in the present, this season was off to a much slower start than season 1. With no alliances being formed in the first 15 hours of the game.

Within this time over at Asphodel, **GOD** and **TYLER** had bonded with one another, or so **GOD** thought at least. **GOD** offered an FTC deal here very quickly into the game, **TYLER** was a bit turned off by this and took a disliking to **GOD**. As a matter of fact, this wasn’t just **TYLER** but rather the entire Asphodel tribe disliked **GOD**, putting him on the quick outs of the tribe. The only person on the tribe who didn’t want him gone first was **PRAY**, who saw him as a valuable ally.

Over the course of the first two days, **CLAY** found himself gaining the respect of most of the tribe, and formed a good bond with **TYLER** and **MAS** resulting in MTC becoming our first alliance of the season!

Meanwhile at Elysian, **HOLLIE** proved to be running the tribe, as in the first day she formed a tight bond with **AARON**, and took a liking to both **ASHY B** and **ALEX** leading to the creation of the Trevor Haters alliance. **HOLLIE** also managed to go even further and solidify a good relationship with **RENEE**, giving her extra leeway in the tribe. **KOWBOY** found himself on the quick outs of the tribe as he wasn’t talking much nor offering any help to his tribe throughout the episode, which turned many the wrong way.

On Tartarus, **NICK**, **VIOLET**, and **KAGE** all took a great liking to one another right off the bat and created the School Sux Squad. **SILENCE** ended up making good impressions on his tribe, gaining great trust in both **CARP** and **KAGE**. Both **IRIS** and **WINSTON** appeared to be on the bottom of the tribe early on.

As far as idols go, this cast had quite the struggle within the first episode. Within the channel descriptions of Elysian Camp, Tartarus Camp, and Asphodel Camp was an unscramble to the words greek underworld. From this, **ALEX** and **ASHY** realized that the command !άδης (the word underworld in Greek) led them to a puzzle. However…

This puzzle led to absolutely nothing, or so they thought at least. Upon completing the puzzle the gods told them that they’ve found nothing, and to “go watch a video or something”. Meanwhile over on Asphodel, **CLAY** and **TYLER** notice the idol clue and bring it up in the camp chat in an attempt to have them find it as a tribe, **MAS** is annoyed with the honesty. Will the castaways manage to realize that the idol clue is hidden in the intro video?

For the first challenge of the season, the tribes had to **design an underworld monster**! Elysian had a very swift process here, with **CASS** taking a big leadership role and organizing the tribe into roles so that **CASS**, **AARON**, **HOLLIE**, and **ALEX** would work together on the description and **RENEE** and **ASHY** would create the visuals. The only person who didn’t offer any help in the challenge was **KOWBOY**. For Tartarus, they also had a pretty swift teamwork with **CARP** and **IRIS** working hard for the tribe’s visuals, as **SILENCE**, **NICK**, **VIOLET**, and **KAGE** all provide support. Meanwhile, Asphodel was a complete mess. For the first half of the challenge only **TYLER**, **PRAY**, and **NAVI** were providing ideas for the tribe. And when the rest of the tribe got on, it resulted in some *interesting* ideas to say the least by **MAS** and **TRIS**.

Elysian's combination of both a fully fledged story and a nice design led to them getting an overwhelming victory in this challenge. Despite Asphodel's design being slightly controversial in the eyes of the judges (particularly them being called out for a poor story and the addition of nipple rings to their mythological beast) they still managed to pull out a victory on top of Tartarus, sending them to tribal.

After the challenge, Many tribe members on Elysian took notice of **KOWBOY’s** inactivity and showed annoyance of him. However, **RENEE** showed a trust and liking to **KOWBOY**. **RENEE**, **CASS**, and **HOLLIE** all ended up forming a good bond on top of this, putting **HOLLIE** in a potential swing position on her tribe.

At Asphodel, **PRAY** and **TYLER** bonded a ton with one another and became tight allies. **PRAY** expressed wanting to keep **GOD** and instead going after **CLAY** in the future. Despite this, **GOD** decided to give his Obol away to **CLAY** for seemingly inexplicable reasons.

Sent to the House of Hades this round was **HOLLIE** for Elysian and **CLAY** for Asphodel. Prior to the duel, both of them bonded a ton and **CLAY** even made an FTC deal with **HOLLIE**, which he didn’t plan to stick by. For their duel they competed in **Make 24**, and **HOLLIE** ended up winning 3 Obols.

Leading into tribal at Tartarus, **NICK** ended up forming the Mr. Krabs Karaoke Dance Party alliance with **CARP**, **SILENCE**, and **IRIS**. This kept **NICK** allied with everyone in the tribe aside from **WINSTON**. However, **NICK** made **KAGE** and **VIOLET** aware of the existence of this alliance, saying **IRIS** was the one to create it. Due to **IRIS** gaining the tribe’s respect in the challenge, **WINSTON** seemed to be the easy target for this tribal. In an attempt to gain **WINSTON’s** Obol on his way out, **IRIS** tossed out **NICK**, **VIOLET**, AND **KAGE’s** names to him as potential targets. However, this spurred **WINSTON** to then tell these three of **IRIS’s** intentions, resulting in the formation of the Tide Turners alliance (School Six Squad but with **WINSTON**) in order to flip the vote onto **IRIS**. After a brief confrontation with **IRIS**, **NICK** decided it’d be best for the tribe to keep the vote on **WINSTON** and that’s exactly what everyone did. Resulting in a 6-1 vote out of **WINSTON**, with **IRIS** gaining an Obol from receiving his vote on the way out and **KAGE** receiving his Obol transferred from **WINSTON**.

With so many different cards on the table what other intense shifts or stories could come on the season? I guess we’ll just have to wait and see

## **Episode 2:** “I’m trying to find a needle in a giant greek haystack right now” - Violet

Upon returning from the House of Hades, **HOLLIE** immediately forms The Girls And The Gay alliance with **RENEE** and **CASS**. Within this alliance, she throws **ALEX** under the bus pretty well by making up a lie that **ALEX** created the Trevor Haters alliance minutes into the game. This made both **RENEE** and **CASS** very suspicious of **ALEX** and more willing to work with **KOWBOY** now. **HOLLIE** told **ALEX** and **ASHY B** that she lost the duel, however she told the truth to **AARON** and even gave him one of her Obols. **HOLLIE** ends up eventually bringing **AARON** into the loop with the creation of the Elysian Icons alliance featuring **CASS**, **RENEE, and AARON**.

Meanwhile at Asphodel, **PRAY** ends up creating the Trevor-JP-Joey alliance with **GOD** and **TYLER** as he trusts these two the most. However, **TYLER** still has quite a disliking to **GOD** and would rather he be the next target at tribal.

For the immunity challenge this time, the castaways had to do **Sacrifices**! In which they’d sacrifice certain amenities ranging from their profile picture to whether or not they’ll have a vote at a certain tribal councils. This challenge resulting in a landslide victory for Elysian, with Asphodel also winning over Tartarus by a small margin.

Some notable things from this challenge: - **HOLLIE**, **KOWBOY**, **ASHY B**, **MAS**, and **CASS** accepted ALL of the sacrifices - Only **RENEE** will have a vote at the next tribal council that Elysian attends - Only **CLAY**, **PRAY**, and **GOD** will have votes at Tartarus's next tribal - **VIOLET** and **KAGE** won’t have a vote at the upcoming tribal council. - For every 3 Sacrifices accepted, people gained 1 Obol (however sacrifice four was to lose an Obol humorously)

Going to the **House of Hades** this cycle was **GOD** and **ALEX**. While here, they both form a close bond with one another and even spilled quite a number of info to one another. **GOD** told **ALEX** that **CLAY, MAS, and TYLER** are a tight trio. **ALEX** told **GOD** that **CLAY** won the past duel, however **GOD** said that was likely a lie planted to him by **HOLLIE** (which is actually the case). For their duel, they did a **Word Search**! **ALEX** ended up winning this swiftly and gained 4 Obols.

Leading up to tribal we experienced some impressive strategizing on behalf of **NICK**, as in the Mr. Krabs Karaoke Dance Party **IRIS** was throwing the suggestion of voting out either **KAGE** or **VIOLET** at this upcoming tribal due to them both not having a vote at this tribal. **NICK** didn’t want to do this as he felt he needed to keep School Sux Squad intact. In the alliance chat, **IRIS** suggested they vote out **KAGE** over **VIOLET** due to him being less trustworthy in her eyes. Both **CARP** and **SILENCE** felt a large preference to keep **KAGE** in however and were much less willing to work with **VIOLET**. This resulted in **NICK** making up a lie to **SILENCE** and **CARP** about **IRIS** wanting to vote out **SILENCE** after **KAGE**. This coupled with the target planted on **IRIS** from the previous cycle ended up spurring the creation of the Mr. Krabs 2 Electric Boogaloo alliance alliance with **NICK**, **KAGE**, **CARP**, and **SILENCE**. With this, **NICK** successfully manages to get the target onto **IRIS’s** back resulting in her elimination in a 3-1 vote out, with **KAGE** earning an Obol for receiving a vote and **IRIS** giving her two Obols on her way out to **NICK** and **VIOLET**.

## **Episode 3:** "I hate it here" - Pray

Following a hectic round of Sacrifices, the Elysian tribe seemed very ready to throw the next challenge in order to get rid of **ALEX**. Elysian Icons hatched this plan and eventually brought **KOWBOY** and **ASHY B** into the loop. **ASHY B** didn’t want this to happen, however realizing that if it's not **ALEX** it’d be him, he decided to keep his mouth shut and go along with it.

Meanwhile at Asphodel, the only people who would have a vote at the next tribal would be **GOD**, **PRAY**, and **CLAY**. Both **PRAY** and **GOD** wanted **CLAY** gone next, and realizing he had the numbers to do so **PRAY** set this plan in motion in order to rise to the top of his tribe.

For the challenge announcement this time, the challenge would be **Greed**! In which we’d open up the arena and if somebody claimed the individual immunity necklace, it meant their tribe would be sent to tribal automatically. They’d also gain 1 Obol if they claimed greed.

Tartarus all vowed to not take the necklace, meanwhile Elysian was everybody vs **ALEX**, with **ASHY B** in the middle between the two parties. Everybody on Elysian intended on taking the necklace in order to make sure **ALEX** lost so they could vote him out. Meanwhile at Asphodel, **GOD** wanted to grab greed in order to send his tribe to tribal and vote out **CLAY**.

When we opened up the arena, the prisoners all got to talk to one another and it led to many chaotic moments. **ASHY B**, **ALEX**, and **KOWBOY** had started spamming the arena which annoyed many people on the other tribes. At one point, **KOWBOY** had changed his profile picture to one of the gods and pretended to offer up greed which confused many and caused several people to claim it only to realize it was **KOWBOY**. Even funnier on top of all this chaos is that **KOWBOY** ended up claiming greed when it was offered up, beating **ALEX**, who knew he was on the bottom, by **1 millisecond**.

Heading to the **House of Hades** this cycle was **NICK** for Tartarus and **CLAY** for Asphodel. During this visit, **CLAY** ended up defeating **NICK** in **Jotto** and earned 5 Obols. The two exchanged some info as **NICK** told **CLAY** his Obol count and they both vowed to work together at a potential tribe swap scenario.

At the Elysian tribal council, **RENEE** was the only one on the tribe to have a vote resulting in a very quick 1-0 vote out of **ALEX**. Upon his exit, **ALEX** told the tribe that he’d give his Obols to **AARON**, then proceeded to instead give all of his Obols away to **ASHY B**.

## **Episode 4:** "I'm here drowning in tar tar sauce and snakes"

Following an **ALEX** vote out, the prisoners all gathered around for the announcement of their next challenge. However they were instead blindsided with a **Tribe Swap**!

The new tribes were: Styx consisting of **AARON, ASHY B, GOD, HOLLIE, KAGE, NAVI, PRAY, RENEE, and TRIS**, and Lethe consisting of **CARP, CASS, CLAY, KOWBOY, MAS, NICK, SILENCE, TYLER, and VIOLET**

From this point onwards, one person from each tribe will attend the House of Hades

Very quick into the swap on Styx, OG Elysian with **ASHY B**, **AARON**, **HOLLIE**, and **RENEE** formed. There was also Elysian Ions with **HOLLIE**, **RENEE**, and **AARON** which was elysian icons but with the c removed in honor of **CASS** no longer being on their tribe. **KAGE**, being the lone member of Tartarus on Styx was very quickly approached by the OG Elysian and roped into their alliance to create the Dawn Alliance. With this they quickly gathered a majority and intended on initially voting out **GOD** at the next tribal if they had to. However, both **HOLLIE** and **GOD** expressed interest in working with one another, resulting in **HOLLIE** pushing for the target to be on **PRAY’s** back instead.

Meanwhile over on Lethe, the tribal lines were much more interesting. Tartarus Sauce formed immediately consisting of **CARP**, **SILENCE**, **NICK**, and **VIOLET**. Eventually these four ended up teaming up with **CASS** and **KOWBOY** from Elysian as they realized that Asphodel still had all 7 members in the game. So Lethe Me Alone (**NICK, CARP, SILENCE, KOWBOY,** and **CASS**) was formed in order to gang up against the Asphodel members. Meanwhile, in the MTC alliance **CLAY** realizes that he’s the only one out of him, **MAS**, and **TYLER** that had a vote at the upcoming tribal.

For the challenge this episode, the castaways got to play **Guess the God**! In which each tribe would choose one Greek God for the other to choose, leading to them needing to then guess the other tribe’s god from a list by asking us a sequence of yes or no questions. For Lethe, **VIOLET** made a very fancy chart that helped her tribe guess in a very quick fashion. However Styx managed to have one less guess than Lethe, leading to their victory!

Heading to the House of Hades this cycle was **AARON** for Styx and **CASS** for Lethe. For their duel they had to face off in **noitcaeR** in which **AARON** had a swift victory over **CASS**, gaining himself 4 Obols in the process. The two allies exchanged some information and made sure the other was doing well on their new tribe.

Over at Styx we **FINALLY** had someone notice the idol clue!!!! After the Gods pointed about 10 extra clues suggesting that the Idol was hidden in the Intro video, **RENEE** had finally noticed and did the !enfers command in his confessional. However, he ended up getting stuck on the third step of the hunt and passed it off to **HOLLIE** looking for help. However she was struggling to find where to go with the clue either, as neither realized they had to do the command for their tribe’s hex code.

On Lethe, heading into tribal **CLAY** approached both **NICK** and **SILENCE** about turning the vote against a Tartarus member. He pushes for a **CARP** blindside here, saying that their best shot moving forward would be to stick with him as staying tribe strong would put a big target on the backs of Tartarus. **NICK** and **SILENCE** pretend to be onboard with this, however immediately alarm **CARP** about this plan. This results in Lethe Me Alone coming up with the plan to split the votes 3-2 against **CLAY** (with **TYLER** getting two votes), as they’re afraid that his many visits to the House of Hades may result in him having a potential advantage somehow. **CLAY** ends up creating The Aristocrats with **NICK** and **SILENCE** , claiming that they need to target **CARP** here. **NICK** and **SILENCE** decide that it’d be better to have the vote tie 3-3 with **TYLER** vs **CLAY** rather than a 3-2-1, so they tell **CLAY** that the target is to vote for **TYLER**.

At tribal, the votes ended up tying 3-3 **TYLER** to **CLAY**, and on the revote everyone voted **CLAY**, that is everyone EXCEPT **KOWBOY**. In an attempt to lower his threat level and cause some chaos, **KOWBOY** voted **TYLER** on the revote, claiming afterwards that he didn’t know what the plan was. **CLAY** ended up becoming the fourth person voted out, and ended up leaving with some heated final words bashing **TYLER**. He also claimed that he’ll give his 7 Obols to **TYLER**, then instead gave them to **MAS**.

## **Episode 5:** "Do you want me to make up some badass quotes with no meaning that you could use as episode titles" - Aaron

Following a heated tribal council, the castaways all gathered around for their next challenge which was an **Auction**! The way it’d work is that they’d each get $500, and they’d be given the choice between a variety of items that they can bid on.

Nobody bid on Item 1, $10 from Adam. **VIOLET** won Item 2, which was the Game Info that one of the Auction Items was a legacy advantage. **CARP** won Item 3, which was the advantage to choose who he can send to the House of Hades. **SILENCE** won Item 4, which was fish soup, a useless item. **CASS** won Item 5, which was the Game Info that the Merge will occur at the Final 13. **NICK** won Item 6, which was a Legacy Advantage that must be used at either the Final 16 or Final 9 tribal councils. **AARON** won Item 7, which was Individual Immunity at the next tribal council. **ASHY B** won Item 8, which was an empty skull. **TYLER** won Item 9, which was a Public Immunity Idol. **KAGE** won Item 10, which was 5 Obols.

Over on Styx, the Dawn Alliance was still planning on going after **PRAY** at their next tribal council. Returning from House of Hades, **AARON** transfers 3 Obols, 1 to each of **HOLLIE**, **RENEE**, and **ASHY B**. After hours of hard work, **HOLLIE** FINALLY managed to find the Elysian Idol. She told **KAGE**, **AARON**, and **RENEE** this. **KAGE** managed to find himself the Tartarus idol, which he only tells to **HOLLIE**. **HOLLIE** leaks this to **RENEE**, giving **RENEE** a bit of a power position knowing the whereabouts of the idols. **HOLLIE** and **KAGE** solidify a very good connection with each other as well, however **AARON** is able to see this and takes note of how threatening they could be in the future. Because of this, **AARON** ends up going out of his way to form a bond with **PRAY** in order to give himself more leeway among the tribe.

On Lethe, following the chaos of the last tribal **MAS** and **TYLER** both find themselves on the bottom. Because of this, **TYLER** creates the Kowboy-Nick-Mas-Tyler alliance and preaches to this alliance that they must go after an Tartarus member at this next tribal. This was a very good idea, *however* **TYLER** accidentally added **NICK** instead of **CASS** to the alliance, and it ended up completely ruining his game as **NICK** immediately shares this with the Tartarus Sauce alliance and **TYLER** immediately becomes public enemy #1 on Lethe. **MAS** notices this and quickly jumps ship, forming the 5 Piece Nuggets From Wendy's alliance with **SILENCE, VIOLET, CARP,** and **NICK**. Within this alliance the four Tartarus members dub **MAS** an honorary Tartarus member. **NICK** begins to also take note of how threatening **CASS** could be in the future.

This episode ends with **GOD** unfortunately quitting the game due to real life commitments.

## **Episode 6:** "Playground or not, Nose Goes" - Kowboy

Following a **GOD** quit, **PRAY** found himself on the complete bottom of Styx. Meanwhile on Lethe, **TYLER** found himself to be a sitting duck, with an expanded target on him due to his idol. However things shook up once again because we had ANOTHER tribe swap! And to add even more chaos on top of that, it was into **4 tribes of 4**!

The new tribes were: Cocytus consisting of **ASHY B**, **CASS**, **NICK**, and **RENEE**, Acheron consisting of **CARP**, **HOLLIE**, **PRAY**, and **TYLER**, Oceanus consisting of **AARON**, **KAGE**, **KOWBOY**, and **SILENCE**, and Phlegethon consisting of **MAS**, **NAVI**, **TRIS**, and **VIOLET**.

Over on Cocytus, **ASHY B** immediately felt pretty confident in his new tribemates, as he had **CASS** and **RENEE**, day 1 allies, with him. **NICK** on the other hand felt very cornered on this tribe, however he managed to form a close bond with **RENEE** very quickly into the swap. This bond grew more and more, and **NICK** even told **RENEE** about his legacy advantage. **CASS** even tells **NICK** that she wants **ASHY B** out at the next tribal council, thus leading to a new trio of **NICK**, **CASS**, and **RENEE** being formed.

On Acheron, **PRAY** and **TYLER** immediately reunite with one another and intend to go far together. **HOLLIE** initially sides with **TYLER** and **PRAY**, putting these two at the top of the tribe. However, over the course of the day **HOLLIE** and **CARP** both bond with one another a lot and begin to want to work together moving forward.

At Oceanus, the tribal lines didn’t seem all too clear, however **AARON** was liked by everyone on the tribe, and had tight duos with **KOWBOY** and **KAGE**, seemingly putting **SILENCE** on the possible outs of the tribe.

On Phlegethon, both **TRIS** and **NAVI** were the only people left in the game who still didn’t have a vote. **MAS** was a clear leader of this tribe, having a built trust separately with both **TRIS** and **VIOLET**.

For the challenge today, we had a big twist to shock the castaways as only **ONE** tribe would win immunity, and the other three would have to go to a joint 12 person tribal council with dms locked on top of it all.

The challenge took place at the **House of Hades**, and each tribe elected a hero to represent them in the challenge.**RENEE** for Cocytus, **AARON** for Oceanus, **CARP** for Acheron, and **TRIS** for Phlegethon .

Their duel this time was a Slide Puzzle! The twist however, was that they had the option of whether to compete for **Obols** or **Tribal Immunity**. However this proved to a be a **VERY** difficult slide puzzle as both **RENEE** and **TRIS** were unable to finish. **AARON**, who figured he had no real chance of winning immunity, ended up switching late in the challenge to competing for Obols, and therefore won 4 Obols from this duel. **CARP** ended up winning this challenge for Acheron, making them safe from the upcoming joint tribal council.

Upon entering the joint tribal, **KOWBOY** and **NICK** both did a similar strategy of submitting a random vote minutes in just to intimidate the others, this caused mass confusion and paranoia among the castaways. From then on though, **CASS** immediately took charge and noted that she doesn’t know **NAVI** nor **TRIS**, and since both of them were offline. Nobody objected to this, and **MAS** subtly pushed the target off of **TRIS** and onto **NAVI** due to **NAVI**’s inactivity. However, **KOWBOY** decided to stir up some chaos by announcing that he’d vote for whoever was the last to put their hand on their nose, because nose goes. He also made up more interesting ideas such as using a wheel to determine who he’ll vote for. However in the end, **KOWBOY** ended up actually becoming a driving force behind this vote as he was the first to point out that **NAVI** could have an idol, and thus got everyone to split the votes 5-5 on **TRIS** and **NAVI**. **TRIS** ended up coming online right at this moment, and was very infuriated to see her name being thrown out. In a heated argument with **VIOLET** and **KOWBOY**, both of them tried to ensure **TRIS** that they didn’t want her going but were taking a precaution, however this still nonetheless offended **TRIS** and caused a massive splinter between her and the group. **AARON** decided to throw a rogue vote on **VIOLET** filled with a very personal message in an attempt to cause some chaos and paranoia, and **NAVI** was eliminated in a chaotic but swift 5-4-1 vote.

With many fights and a lot of tension broken out during that live tribal, how will this impact the game moving forward?

## **Episode 7:** "I'm just too nice for this game" - Hollie

Following a chaotic and heated tribal, **TRIS** was absolutely infuriated with **VIOLET** as she was sold out in front of everyone as a target, and now the tribe is down in numbers. This puts **MAS** in the middle of this scattered Phlegethon tribe.

Over on Cocytus, the Diva Girls alliance forms with **RENEE**, **NICK**, and **CASS**. Putting **ASHY B** on the clear outs of this tribe.

For the challenge today, the castaways got to participate in the 24 hour scavenger hunt! Every 30 minutes an item would be posted in the arena, and they’d race to take a picture of that themself. However there was a twist! Only **TWO** tribes would be winning immunity this time around! Meaning the other two tribes would go to tribal separately, and two people would be voted out this cycle.

Despite their dysfunctionality, Phlegethon found themselves easily taking a major lead, as **TRIS** carried getting the majority of points within the first half, and **VIOLET** destroyed during the second half while everyone else was asleep. Oceanus found themselves getting a great footing as well, as **KAGE** had more points solo than anyone else did in the challenge! **KAGE** earned 2 Obols for scoring the most points in the Challenge, and this meant that Cocytus and Acheron were both sent to tribal.

For the House of Hades visit this cycle, **CARP** used his advantage and chose to send **SILENCE** and **MAS**. **SILENCE** ended up defeating **MAS** in a jigsaw puzzle and earning himself 3 Obols.

First up out of our two tribals this episode we had the Cocytus tribal. Soggy Bottom Boys was created by **ASHY B**, which involved him, **CASS**, and **RENEE**. **NICK** expressed worries of **ASHY B** having an advantage from the auction, and **RENEE** and **CASS** agreed that the right move for them would be to vote out **ASHY B**. In order to keep his suspicions low, **NICK** told **ASHY B** that he’d be voting for **RENEE** this tribal. **ASHY B** told **RENEE** and **CASS** this immediately, however they were unfortunately in on the plan. Meaning that **ASHY B** was the seventh person voted out, one placement lower than his sister. He transferred 6 Obols to **VIOLET** and 3 to **AARON**.

Leading into Acheron‘s tribal on the other hand, it seemed as if it would be a straightforward **CARP** vote out. As Hollie-Tyler-Pray was even created to make sure the three were on the same page. However, **HOLLIE** had taken a large liking to **CARP** over the course of the past few days, and she decided that it wouldn’t be the right move for her to vote him out here. She promised him she’d send it to a firemaking challenge between him and **TYLER**.

When the votes were read, **TYLER** considered playing his idol however decided against it, hoping everything would go smoothly. **It did not however**, as **HOLLIE** voted for **TYLER**, making it a 2-2 tie. **CARP** and **TYLER** were then forced to face off in a firemaking challenge, which **CARP** won very quickly and easily, making **TYLER** the eighth person voted off, with an idol in his pocket. He left with some very heated words for **HOLLIE**, and then transferred his 3 Obols to **PRAY**.

Following possibly the most dramatic and emotional tribal in this ORG’s history, what could happen next as the merge is fast approaching?

## **Episode 8:** "YOU AREN'T WELCOME DADDY" - Violet

Following an emotional and heated tribal council, the castaways were all shocked to see that the next announcement would be the merge! **CARP**’s suggestion, Hadeez Nuts, ended up winning the poll for the merge tribe name!

Announced alongside the merge was the end to our **House of Hades** twist, and the introduction to the **Hades Market**, where they’d get the opportunity to spend their Obols on many great advantages. Hades Market displays all of these. Many, MANY Obol transactions occurred, **PRAY** gave all of his Obols to **MAS**, **KAGE** gave an Obol to **HOLLIE**, **NICK** gave his Obols to **RENEE**. **HOLLIE** and **KAGE** both purchased Extra Votes for themselves, **MAS** purchased a Challenge Change advantage, **AARON**, **MAS**, **CARP**, **HOLLIE**, and **KOWBOY** all purchased an Idol Clue, however **AARON** very quickly found the next step of the hunt. Unfortunately for him, the next step was pinging the Gods in Hadeez Nuts Camp and gaining the idol publicly in front of EVERYONE. He ended up going the extra length and doing this, making everyone in the game aware of his idol. Meanwhile, **HOLLIE** and **KAGE** both manage to purchase themselves Extra Votes, while **VIOLET** purchases a Challenge Advantage.

Following the beginning of the merge, many social ties were in play due to the numerous swaps in the premerge. Throughout the course of the first day, everyone in the cast became aware that **HOLLIE** and **KAGE** had idols due to **RENEE**’s extended connections throughout. Due to this, people assume that one of the original Asphodel members must have the idol, and due to **MAS** being much more socially connected they start suspecting **PRAY** or **TRIS** for having it.

**KOWBOY** ends up wanting to cause some chaos, and creates the Alliance To Vote Out Kowboy with everybody in the game except **TRIS** in it. This leads to **TRIS** being quite angered with **KOWBOY** when he mentions it in the camp chat. **RENEE** creates both the Alliance To Save Kowboy (**CARP**, **RENEE**, **KOWBOY**, and **SILENCE**) and Why Are We Like The Powerful Girls (**NICK**, **RENEE**, **TRIS**, **VIOLET**). **RENEE** finds himself in an alliance with everyone in the game though social prowess.

For the challenge this episode, the castaways had to answer trivia questions based off a Greek Mythology video they watched. **SILENCE** ended up winning the challenge and **1 Obol** to go along with it!

Prior to tribal we had a truly great and wholesome moment with the entire tribe joining voice call and listening to **AARON** performing “You Belong with Me” by Taylor Swift. This was followed by another wonderful performance by **VIOLET**, and **KAGE**’s eventual singing that brought true tears to everyone’s eyes. Everyone, spectators, hosts, and players had a truly great wholesome time that day.

However, tribal was approaching and with it came a ton of strategy. **SILENCE** found himself majorly leading the charge on this vote, as he came up with a plan to flush **AARON**’s idol, blindside **KAGE**, and if **KAGE** used his idol **TRIS** would be sent home as they’d split the votes. This plan was a major mess as **SILENCE** tried to flush 3 idols in one go (assuming that **TRIS** or **PRAY** had an idol), however many people objected to this plan. **MAS** ended up creating the PTMD (Post-Traumatic Mas Disorder) alliance with her, **TRIS**, and **PRAY** and made them aware of this plan, building a strong trust between the three remaining Asphodel members and putting **MAS** in a power spot.

Many people took note of **SILENCE**’s messy and bossy strategy here, as **RENEE**, **VIOLET**, and **NICK** all noted how he was difficult to work with. **SILENCE** ended up going the extra length and creating the Oceans 4 alliance with **KOWBOY**, **AARON**, and **KAGE** (all the Oceanus members) and told **AARON** that he was being targeted by everyone.

At tribal, **HOLLIE** and **KOWBOY** decided to sacrifice their votes as told by the Final 20 Challenge, and the votes were successfully split 7-4 between **TRIS** and **KAGE**, **AARON**, convinced he was being targeted, ended up wasting his idol as he got 0 votes. **KAGE** was eliminated as the first juror, with an Idol and Extra Vote in his pocket. He gave his remaining Obols to **SILENCE**. **HOLLIE** and **AARON** appear to be on the outs and the next to go on the chopping block, what could happen next?

## **Episode 9:** "I might not be in control of the game, but I'm sure as hell in control of myself" - Aaron

After a sad but well put together **KAGE** blindside, it appears that **AARON** and **HOLLIE** are sitting ducks among the tribe. However, immediately after the vote **VIOLET**, who didn’t want **KAGE** to go during the last cycle, creates the Carrot Crushers alliance with **NICK** and **MAS**. She immediately suggests the idea of a **SILENCE** blindside at the upcoming tribal due to how controlling he was in the last vote. Meanwhile, **SILENCE** purchased himself a **Vote Blocker** from the Market.

For the challenge today, **MAS** used her **Challenge Change** advantage to make the challenge **Semantris**! An online word game in which they must use word association to succeed. And as expected, **MAS** ended up winning the very same challenge she chose, gaining herself immunity and **1 Obol**

Leading into tribal, **AARON** felt very much in trouble. He pleaded his case to Winners (an alliance with **CASS**, **RENEE**, **HOLLIE**, and **KOWBOY**) that the Elysians must stick together. Not aware that **CASS** and **RENEE** are playing both sides, he thinks that everything will go smoothly for him hopefully. Meanwhile, **SILENCE** is creating yet another plan to split the votes between **PRAY** and **TRIS** as they were the most disconnected in the tribe and would be easy votes.

However, **VIOLET**’s plan to get rid of **SILENCE** started hatching more and more as she approached **AARON** with this idea and he was VERY willing to do it. Despite this plan coming together nicely, **NICK** decided that it wasn’t the right time to cut off **SILENCE** just yet and he had distrust in **KOWBOY**. **SILENCE** ended up catching wind of the plan to get rid of him, and **NICK** used this as an opportunity to convince everyone that **KOWBOY** was the one who leaked the plan to **SILENCE**. This made everyone begin to switch their votes to **KOWBOY**.

HOWEVER in another twist of events, **CASS** tells **KOWBOY** about the plan to get rid of him, leading **KOWBOY** to let everyone know that he’s aware of the plan to get rid of him. This led to mass paranoia and confusion to everyone, resulting in them switching the vote back onto **SILENCE**. **SILENCE** attempts to combat this plan with Alliance To Save Kowboy as he throws the idea of him using his vote blocker on **PRAY**, then getting **NICK** to vote for **PRAY** in case of an idol, that way he’d successfully blindside **AARON**. He made the Snake Wranglers with **CARP**, **KOWBOY**, **CASS**, **RENEE**, and **MAS** to plead this idea.

However, in the end **CASS** and **RENEE** found it more beneficial to their games to vote for **SILENCE** here, and keep their Elysian connection intact. Thus at tribal, even though **SILENCE** blocked **PRAY**’s vote, everybody except for **CARP** and **KOWBOY** had voted him. Resulting in him being the second juror in a 7-3 vote (**MAS** sacrificed her vote as per the F20 challenge).

With what seems to be a big shift in power, **CARP** and **KOWBOY** are now on the bottom of a power group of 9, will they be able to survive further? We’ll see and find out.

## **Episode 10:** I'm the ideal boot right now, but I don't think it will be me" - Renee

Following a shocking **SILENCE** blindside, **CARP** and **KOWBOY** appear to be the next boots in everyone’s minds, as **AARON** and **HOLLIE** have seemingly managed to escape the bottom in the last episode. Using his Obols, **AARON** purchased a Vote Blocker.

For the challenge today, the contestants had to play **Virus** in which they’d have to pass on immunity to the person they DIDN’T want to win, that person would then have to pass it onto another, it’d keep going until one person isn’t given immunity and would thus....win immunity :Joy: . **MAS** ended up winning this challenge due to her wonderful extension of social ties throughout the cast.

Leading into tribal, everyone seem set on getting rid of **KOWBOY**, and as nobody expected him to be holding an idol the nine person majority of ( **AARON, CASS, HOLLIE, MAS, NICK, PRAY, RENEE, TRIS** and **VIOLET** ) all planned to vote for **KOWBOY** this tribal.

HOWEVER, **HOLLIE** decided it was time to shift the direction of the game, as she quickly realized that she liked **KOWBOY** and **CARP** and didn’t want to see them go one after another. Because of this, she created The Unholy Trinity and decided that it was time to make a move against **NICK**, the biggest threat in the game. She creates the plan of giving **KOWBOY** her idol, and then the three of them would vote for **NICK** and idol him out.

However, this plan quickly changed as the three of them discussed potential allies for the future, and both **HOLLIE** and **KOWBOY** realized that **RENEE** had promised both of them separate final three deals with him and **CASS**. This caused them both to be very hurt, thus shifting their target from **NICK** onto **RENEE**.

Leading into tribal, **RENEE** was feeling slightly confident, and started planning for his future assuming this would be a straightforward **KOWBOY** vote out. However, **HOLLIE** did end up transferring her idol to **KOWBOY**, who then played it at tribal council in a grand fashion. To push this even further, he announced to everyone that the idol they thought **HOLLIE** had was actually a fake he planted. This was apart of The Unholy Trinity‘s plan, that way they could cover up **HOLLIE**’s involvement with this plan. **AARON** played his vote blocker on **KOWBOY** IMMEDIATELY, however in the end this didn’t matter, as with two votes against him from **HOLLIE** and **CARP**, **RENEE** was idoled out and became the third member of our jury.

## **Episode 11:** "You don’t fuck with Hollie without fucking with me" - Aaron

Following a truly shocking and emotional **RENEE** blindside, everyone was shocked and confused at who voted **RENEE**. **HOLLIE** attempted to shift the blame onto **PRAY**, which some believed. However, **NICK** and **VIOLET** found **HOLLIE** very suspicious and believed that it was actually her who blindsided **RENEE**.

For the challenge today, the castaways got to play **Scattergories**!! There were some disputes, such as **NICK** arguing for a hand fan counting as a tool, however in the end **TRIS** ended up winning immunity.

Leading into tribal, many of the sacrifices accepted back in the Final 20 Challenge were coming to fruition here, as MANY people sacrificed their Final 10 vote. **HOLLIE**, **MAS**, **TRIS**, **KOWBOY**, and **CASS** all accepted this punishment. This meant the only people with votes this tribal were: **NICK**, **VIOLET**, **CARP**, **AARON**, and **PRAY** That is, until **HOLLIE** used her extra vote, which gave her the ability to now submit one vote this tribal.

Leading into tribal, **AARON** was deadset on voting **CARP** because **CARP** voted for him cycles earlier, he ended up submitting his vote immediately and going offline without consulting anybody about this. **NICK** and **VIOLET** had other ideas however, as they realized that **HOLLIE** was a major threat for the future. They ended up approaching **CARP** with the idea of a **HOLLIE** blindside in Tartarus Sauce, and **NICK** reached out to **PRAY** to get him onboard with the idea. **CARP** expressed openly he didn’t want to vote out **HOLLIE**, and said that going after **PRAY** would be a better idea. **NICK** and **VIOLET** realized there was no way to convince him, and figured that if **CARP** and **HOLLIE** voted for **PRAY**, and **AARON** voted for **CARP**, then **VIOLET**, **NICK**, and **PRAY** would be free to vote for **HOLLIE** and pull off a 3-2-1 blindside.

However, **CARP** immediately let **HOLLIE** know her name was out there, and they chose to not believe **NICK** and **VIOLET** saying they’d vote for **PRAY**. In a bold move, **HOLLIE** told **PRAY** that **NICK** and **VIOLET** threw his name out, and then went to **AARON** and told him that they needed to vote out **NICK** or else she’d be gone. This led to **AARON** and **PRAY** both changing their votes to **NICK**.

In a last stitch effort to survive, **NICK** tried to change the vote onto **AARON**, however **VIOLET** didn’t even have time to change her vote from **HOLLIE** to **AARON**. This didn’t end up mattering, as **NICK** was blindsided in a riveting 4-2 vote. Upon his final words he said that he’d vote for **HOLLIE** if she made it to FTC. He then transferred his legacy advantage to **VIOLET**.

As the prisoners were prepared to head back to camp after a shocking tribal, they were hit by even crazier news that it was a DOUBLE TRIBAL, and instead of doing a challenge they’d have to vote someone off right then and there (no dms allowed).

## **Episode 12:** "How the hell am I still here?" - Carp

In a shocking twist, the prisoners were forced to vote off another person right there, and NOBODY was immune. At first, the discussion was very quiet as nobody wanted to be the one to throw a name out. However, shortly into tribal **HOLLIE** told everyone about **NICK** and **VIOLET**’s antics during the previous tribal. Everyone in the tribal council agreed that they think **MAS**, **TRIS**, or **PRAY** has an idol from Asphodel.

**HOLLIE** and **KOWBOY** immediately target **VIOLET** due to her voting **HOLLIE** at the previous tribal council, however **VIOLET** immediately threw **AARON** under the bus for his lies during the previous cycle, stating publicly that **HOLLIE** had thrown his name out and that he lied to everyone except her throughout the game. This was in fact not true, and both **AARON** and **HOLLIE** knew this.

**PRAY** then makes a very bold move, and essentially announces to **MAS**, **TRIS**, **VIOLET**, **CARP** and **CASS** that they have to break up the four of **HOLLIE, KOWBOY** and **AARON**. **CARP** attempts to get people to target **VIOLET** for her good under the radar game. However **PRAY** further reiterated that **HOLLIE** and **AARON** were the biggest threats in the game, with **KOWBOY** being their goat.

During tribal **MAS**, **CASS**, **VIOLET**, and **PRAY** made it clear they were voting for **AARON**. Meanwhile **AARON**, **CARP**, **KOWBOY**, and **HOLLIE** made it clear they were voting for **VIOLET**. This left **TRIS** in the middle, who voted WITHOUT TALKING TO ANYBODY IN TRIBAL. She initially voted for **VIOLET**, however after watching tribal from the sidelines, she switched her vote to **AARON** last minute.

Leading up to the vote read, **VIOLET** played her **Legacy Advantage** bestowed unto her by **NICK**, however it didn’t end up making all that much of a difference as **AARON** was voted out in a 5-4 vote, becoming the fifth member of the jury.

With The Unholy Trinity now backed up against a wall, will these three manage to survive the next tribal? Or is it the end for them? We’ll just have to wait and find out.
