I Think It's Time To Transform

Another day, another immunity slay.

**I Think It's Time To Transform** is the fifteenth episode of MintORGs Season 1: Hogwarts.

## Story

### Pre-Tribal

**Duolingo** feels that Kyle leaving is detrimental to his game and he now has to rely on Imke and Nick with the knowledge that Wes , Tomato and Wei probably do not want to work with him. He feels the only person he can trust is Nikki and he desperately needs to win Immunity. He felt that Wei has lost his potential Jury vote for "not putting up a fake act" and boldly told him that working together would be impossible. He doesn't feel the inclination of working together or creating more bonds as he sees no sustainability besides Nikki.

**Imke** had mixed feelings about voting out Kyle. On one hand she felt that Kyle was too untrustworthy, on the other hand, she will miss Kyle's daily positive messages. She finds it funny that Duolingo believes that Wes, Tomato and Wei are running the game when she feels that herself, Nick and Wes have all the power and are tight in the "raven-clan" alliance where she has been running the game since being on the Lupin tribe.

**Nick** felt surprised that Duolingo approached him and told him he understood his decision as he thought Duolingo would've been very upset with the blindside. He felt that Duolingo's beliefs of Wes and Wei running the game is absurd and that it's himself and Imke that have been running the game. He will target Duolingo whenever he does not win an immunity challenge.

**Nikki** felt they needed to fight for their ride or die, Kyle, who just got voted out of the game. They acknowledged that the odds are against them at the moment and they have to win the challenge.

**Tomato** was very happy that Kyle got voted out as he believed that Kyle backstabbed him and told Duolingo the plan. He feels that if he wants to make a case for himself at the end, he needs to be vocal and charge a vote against either Imke, Wes or Duolingo. He felt he couldn't trust Wei as Wei leaked to Imke that he had passed his wand to Wei, but he is in a position where he has to trust Wei. He believed he was the free agent between 3 pairs of Imke and Nick, Duolingo and Nikki , as well as Wei and Wes . He feels the best option for him at F3 is with Nick and Nikki at the moment.

**Wei** initially didn't want to vote for Kyle , but agreed to do so after finding out about Kyle's betrayal. He hasn't been much vocal and is chilling and sending food pics.

**Wes** felt that Duolingo has been acting like a POS lately.

Duolingo proceeded to smash the competition and won yet another immunity, guaranteeing himself a spot in the Final 6.

### Tribal Council

Duolingo thought Tomato used a challenge disadvantage on him and was annoyed with Tomato not confessing it. However, it was actually Wei because Tomato passed his wand to Wei as a token of trust. He tried to convince Imke and Nick to vote for Wes in an attempt to break the "trio" he believes. However a split vote happened and a blindside on Imke was executed. Imke believed that herself, Nick and Wes are safe. She is targeting Nikki and believes that once Nikki is booted, the raven-clan alliance will proceed to 'pagong' the rest out. Unbeknownst to her, Tomato, Wes and Wei managed to vote Imke out in a 3-2-2 split vote, ending Imke's impressive run.

Nick felt "amazing" that the one person he didn't want to win immunity, ended up winning immunity. He is also not having Duolingo's sass and sarcasm in the great hall chat. He feels as though Tomato and Nikki are on the chopping block as of now, and is leaning towards voting Nikki. He feels that he fully trusts Imke and Wes, Wei only to a certain extent. He plans on taking out Nikki, Duolingo, followed by Tomato, and force Imke into fire-making at F4. However, things didn't go as planned Imke got voted out in a 3-2-2 vote, blindsiding him as well.

Nikki felt doomed as they believed there was no incentive for Imke and Nick to vote with her, with the added fact that Imke and Nick did not talk to her. Their assumptions were right as Imke and Nick did vote for them. However, they were also left in the dark when Imke got blindsided in a 3-2-2 vote.

Tomato tried to figure out where he stands with Nick and realized that Nick does not trust him. He was filled-in on a plan to vote out Nikki. He did not like this idea and proceeded to pitch to Wei about voting out Imke, with Wes. Both of them agreed to it and Wei came up with a plan to drive Wes into distrusting Imke using the information that Imke told Wei about Wes "faking" the steal-a-vote prior. He executed the lie well and Wes followed through to vote out Imke in a 3-2-2 vote.

After the immunity challenge, Wei has also been rather quiet in his confessionals. However, it has been noted by Tomato that he agreed to vote out Imke , and he also came up with a plan to ensure Wes distrusts Imke , using the info that Imke told him about Wes "faking the steal-a-vote" on Nick last round. He puts his trust in Wes and Tomato and the plan followed through as Imke was blindsided in a grand fashion, believing this vote turned tides around for him.

Wes called out Imke for hyping up each other to win the challenge where she only attempted once and was done. They were approached initially by Wei with the idea that Tomato wanted Imke gone. Wes contemplated this and noted if Tomato can get 4 votes on Imke, then they will consider this idea. Afterwards, they realized a possible 3-2-2 vote and this idea has been seeded since Tomato approached them with the knowledge that Imke spilled their "fake steal-a-vote" plan to the rest. Wes agrees that Imke is a huge threat and will be on board to cut her knowing they is still able to use their steal-a-vote next round and guarantee safety. Wes adores Nick and wants to sit at the end with him due to how close they have been, but knows that they will need to do damage control after betraying him this round. Wes was nervous but the plan followed through and Imke was blindsided in a 3-2-2 vote.
