## Overview

Diyoza Abe was a passenger on SHUFFEL! 7: Redline and is the winner of SHUFFEL! 8: Frequent Flyers. She is regarded as a very well-liked and respected player despite her controvercial vote-out on season seven. Diyoza is most well known and referred to as "The Redline Queen", which is what most homosexual fans on Twitter call her. She was the only player ever to be affected by the Redline twist. She is also the player to go the furthest in the game after their partner's ejection. On season seven she placed third and was the last member of the jury.

Entering the All-Star season of SHUFFEL! Diyoza was one of the newest additions to the alumni, and was under-estimated by her peers, allowing for her to take on a less threatening role initially. As aviation hit she began to take a more dominant role in the game, being apart of the "Double Ds" alliance which controlled the votes for the second half of the game. After cutting her allies for 4th and 3rd Diyoza was awarded the win by the jury for her dominant gameplay.

## Gameplay

#### SHUFFEL! 7: Redline

Diyoza entered season seven with her boyfriend at the time, Lewis Outback. The pair struggled to relate to their fellow competitiors being from a foreign continent, which resulted in the early target being placed on their backs. They were nominated the first two weeks of the game, being able to win the Killshot and remaining safe in the first week, but in the second week they were sent into the Cargo Room. Jasper and Natalie used the vote nullifyer from the Control Panel to successfully gain majority vote over Lewis and Diyoza. But in the Redline twist, Lewis and Diyoza were able to win the Redline challenge, being the only pair of the season to do so. The remaining passengers then voted to save Diyoza over Lewis, allowing for her remainder in the game. She was then granted safety, and "Redlined" until the aviation portion of the game, using this time to gain ground and form relationships that would ultimately propell her through the game, with two alliances at war Diyoza didn't pick a side and instead attempted to play the middle.

For week six, seven and eight, Diyoza did not win a single competition, but she also remained off of the block. Using her social bond with Sara and Scott, as well as Jasper and Natalie to stay off of the block. She voted to eject players she felt were weak, to keep the larger threats shielding her.

She won the Topflight challenge both week nine and ten. And used both to target the stronger players in the house, nominating Sara and Scott both of her Topflight weeks, however they were not ejected. She was responsible for the ejection of Natalie, Falcon and Washington. The following week, Jasper won the Topflight and kept Diyoza safe, feeling as though she was the only player who wasn't coming after him, they formed a friendship and a final two deal, both parties were loyal to this deal. He saved her and chose to eject Scott in the final four, but when Sara won the final competition, the First Class, she broke up the final two deal and ejected Diyoza for third place, she became the last member of the jury.

#### SHUFFEL! 8: Frequent Flyers

Paired with Abraham week one, Diyoza knew that would be able to go under the radar while everyone else went at each other. She was approached by Robin week one and agreed to vote out Gentry / Asher.

Week two she won topflight and she targeted Salem / Janae for being competition threats. She was happy to get her way that week. Week three Diyoza had no issue voting with the majority of the house to get Drake / Jill out as they were strategic threats.

Week four Diyoza won topflight and she nominated Farrah as her target. Once the winner had lost the killshot she knew that she was gone and Diyoza didn't even campaign much knowing the vote would be how she wanted it to be.

Week five Diyoza was nominated and she played it cool, using the bonds she established prior to stay in the double ejection. She played and manipulated Eclipse into keeping her, the reason she stayed.

Week six "Triple Ds" was formed which consisted of herself, Damien, and Dick. The three would make their first move sending Jaelyn home, which was more of a house target than anything else. Week seven Diyoza was nominated by Blair and sat next to her partner Abraham. She said her goodbyes to him, revealing to him she had the votes to stay.

Week eight Diyoza won topflight and nominated Blair as revenge with Eclipse as pawn, announcing to everyone that she was the target. Once Blair was a final nominee her alliance honored her target and voted Blair out, even if it upset Damien a little.

Week nine Diyoza was nominated by Eclipse as revenge, and Eclipse attempted to confront Diyoza but she paid no attention to it, ignoring the other native girl. When she won killshot she put in work to ensure that it was Hudson who was ejected. Week ten Diyoza won topflight and nominated Troy, Eclipse and Damien as a pawn, keeping Dick and Scott safe. Just as she hoped Damien won killshot and the group sent Troy, the alliances biggest threat home.

Week eleven Damien nominated Gary and Eclipse, with Gary as the target. Despite this Diyoza still chose to vote Eclipse out after making a deal with Gary, causing further friction between herself and Eclipse.

Week twelve in the final 5 Diyoza found herself nominated against Scott and it looked like the vote was going to tie 1-1. To prevent this Diyoza made a desperate attempt to flip Eclipse's vote, promising her a final 2 deal and throwing her allies Damien and Dick under the bus to prove her honesty. After heavy consideration Eclipse accepted the deal and voted Scott out in a 2-0 vote.

In the final 4 Eclipse won topflight and Diyoza was a final nominee again. Unknown to Dick, she and Damien had a final 2 deal and he was shocked to be ejected over Diyoza. In the final 3 Diyoza won the first class competition and cried as she voted to eject Damien, her friend, honoring her deal with Eclipse.

The jury respected Diyoza's dominant and clever gameplay over Eclipse's underdog story and in a 6-3 vote the Aboriginal was cast the winner of Frequent Flyers/
