Clasper

Clasper is a contestant on Visionary Survivor: Ring of Fire.

## Ring of Fire Summary

Clasper’s game was one shrouded by mystery to both the spectators and other players, largely due to his inactivity in his confessionals and his inconsistent messaging habits for the early portions of the game. His reputation as a goat to many and his weak relationships made him a target at several tribal councils throughout the season until he eventually ended the game in 5th place. In the anarchy phase, he failed to establish many strategic relationships, but was overall still largely present in the game and set up the basis for the loose relationships he would use at the merge.

In the premerge, Clasper was a clear target at all three tribal councils he attended. In his first tribal council, the majority Five Guys alliance debated between targeting Juni and Clasper, but eventually decided to target Juni as a result of her decision to sacrifice herself. Regardless, Clasper received a single vote from Juni, but it was randomized due to Juni’s failure to vote. At the following tribal council they attended, Clasper was initially marked as the second target of the Five Guys alliance. However, due to the rising tension between Axis and Wyatt and the slight suspicion that Wyatt held the idol, a plan was created to blindside Wyatt, orchestrated by Myth, Travis, and Jay, who was Clasper’s ally from before the game started. This plan worked ever so narrowly, with Wyatt leaving 4-3 and Clasper receiving votes from Wyatt, Travis, and Axis, although Axis’ vote was randomized and Travis’ was in case of an idol play.

At the next tribal council, the remaining Five Guys members seemed to settle on Clasper as a target. However, Jay had secretly planned to vote out Starz with the rest of the tribe. However, this made Jay’s connection to Clasper extremely transparent, leading Myth and Travis to prepare a blindside on Jay instead. Clasper voted for Starz alongside Jay and Axis, but his vote was nullified and his closest ally, Jay, went home.

At this point, the tribes merged back into the Kauai tribe. Despite having been betrayed by his tribemates in the Jay blindside, he was still willing to turn on Axis. The former Nani tribe along with Axis left Clasper in the dark for this vote, so he voted for Axis. Myth ended up leaving in a 6-4 vote, leaving Clasper in the minority once again. Despite this, Clasper still had one thing on his side: he was largely perceived as a free vote that could be added to plans and had consistently been shown to stick to his word and vote the way that most people expected him to. In the next three rounds, Clasper was included in the plans to vote out Travis, Jonathan and Starz as he developed his relationships with players like Axis, Rocket, and Nakul. At this point, Clasper’s game became much more active with a turning point at the Final 6.

With only 6 players remaining, Nakul seemed like the closest player to the bottom and an easy vote out. Despite this, Axis formed a plan with Nakul and Clasper to force a tie between Lillia and Nakul. Clasper voted incorrectly at this tribal for the first time in three votes, as Axis decided to back out of her plan due to Nakul informing Lorelei of the plan to eliminate Lillia.

At this point, Clasper’s game seemed to be over. He was the only person to have previously voted for Lillia remaining in the game, and Lillia’s alliance with Lorelei and Rocket still held the majority. Clasper lost the immunity challenge and left the game in a 3-1-1 vote, voting for Axis and receiving a vote from all players other than Axis, who cast her vote for Rocket. Clasper’s gameplay was one that was generally underrated from the beginning of the game. His strategy to fly under the radar of others and be used as a trustworthy additional vote brought him to the Final 5, but unfortunately his lack of genuine relationships ended his game.
