Vaeril

Vaeril is a contestant on Visionary Survivor: Haiti.

## Haiti Summary

Unfortunately known for being a rather emotional decision maker, Vaeril had one of the tougher routes in Haiti as he had a lot of trouble navigating through social dynamics.

At the start of the game Vaeril quickly developed a seemingly concrete relationship with Ry, even going as far as to help Ry secure his first idol. While Vaeril avoided most confrontation regarding the first and only vote the original Egzagòn tribe attended, after the swap Vaeril became a bit more on edge and aware regarding his relationships. Already being wary of Ry and his shady play style, Giully, Vaeril, and Gregory joined the original Vodou to target Ry after Vaeril was convinced that he couldn’t trust Ry. After finding out that he could no longer trust who he thought was his ride or die in the game, Vaeril spent the next few rounds of the game with his sights set on Ry.

Things cooled down a bit after winning the first two post-swap challenges, but after losing the third people were still adamant about voting Ry out of the game. However, things got complicated when it was discovered that only four people could vote at the tribal council due to pins and curses. The only four who could vote were Greg, Josiah, Ry, and Vaeril. Initially Greg, Josiah, and Vaeril were all on board to eliminate Ry. But things got tricky when Josiah considered flipping things. Knowing how much of a physical threat Giully was and assuming that a merge was coming up, Josiah considered flipping with Ry and potentially Greg to eliminate Giully. Ry took this plan and immediately ran with it, using it to try and flip people to his side. When Josiah caught wind that Ry had leaked, he was no longer on board due to no longer trusting Ry. But along the way Ry had managed to get Greg to flip and keep him on his side to force a 2-2 split. Ry had an idol that he played that could’ve sent Giully home regardless, but Mink managed to correctly play his idol blocker on him. But even with the idol blocker, luck spun Ry’s way as Giully was eliminated by wheel as a result of the tie.

Once the merge came the only thing on Vaeril’s mind was to finally get Ry out of the game. He even went as far as to immediately expose Ry in front of everyone at camp in an attempt to paint him as a clear target. Despite what most might think, it actually worked really well as people quickly latched onto him as a quick first vote. After Mink won the first individual immunity challenge, a plan was set in motion to eliminate Ry. But things got foggy when Izaak told a few people about his legacy advantage, which was then leaked to the entire tribe. Cautious of any potential idol play, Josiah came up with a plan to split the vote and put a few on Gregory. Unfortunately for Josiah, no one who was supposed to vote for Gregory pulled through with the plan and he was ironically idol’d out when Ry pulled out a second idol at tribal.

At the final nine, after Ephraim was disqualified, Ry seemed untouchable and yet he had no power. After being bailed out by the wheel and by an idol in back to back tribals Ry was left hanging by a string. Vaeril was still very adamant about eliminating Ry, but other people’s perspectives started to change. With Ry having been public enemy number one for so long, no one really felt that Ry had much power and thus he would be an easy target in the future. So, with Vaeril unaware, they started to shift targets to Vaeril. By this point Vaeril had been essentially leading the charge on Ry for so long that he was slowly starting to build traction. So everyone decided to flip on Vaeril and eliminate him in a unanimous 8-1 vote.
