I'll Kick Things Off

**I'll Kick Things Off** is the fourth episode of Survivor: Antelope Canyon

## Story

C'mon in guys! Kanjono getting its first looks at the new Akvo tribe with **Sasa** voted out of last tribal council.

So there was alot that happened yesterday that I didn’t talk about.
I honestly thought there was a chance I could be going home.
So I did what any woman would do.
First, I lied to two people.
I told two people I had the idol.
I don’t like lying but I definitely did.
Also I messaged Pusheen, Toast, and Volume to make sure their votes were on Sasa.
The two people I told I had an idol were 1. Sasa and 2. Zachary
Zachary was revealing and standing up for Sasa beyond my comfort level.
Once I was even telling Zachary something personal
When he interrupted what I was saying to game talk about “Sasa told me you snapped on him”. It was honestly very rude of him to interrupt the personal conversation and also have the audacity tell me to be the “bigger person” regarding my conversation with Sasa when I was just sad he kept ghosting me?
How do you be the bigger person when you are just asking someone to please socialize and act like they want to be here?
To please give you a chance and stop ignoring you?
Zachary never even redirected the conversation back to what I was speaking about.
All he cared about was his own game.
It was selfish and his intentions were obvious.

## Challenge

Another thing to note is that the winning tribe will win a reward that will greatly affect the other tribe, so stay tuned for that.

The first matchup is **Sherlock** vs. **Queenie**

Both contestants battle it out for eight minutes until **Sherlock** submits, scoring for Kanjono!

The next matchup is **Volume** vs.**Dan.** They each struggle to complete a 5x5 slide puzzle until **Dan** scores the winning point for his tribe!

The Kanjono tribe convenes and decides to send Queenie to exile due to her percieved over-the-top attitude and threat level, assuming she'd be a target when Akvo went to tribal.

### Confessionals

Mick talks about how his partnership with Sherlock is melting away

My pal Ezra is pulling away from me slowly over time.. I can feel it. Dude must not want to go to the end with me and it hurts my heart but I can’t be too sad about it because I probably wouldn’t want to bring him either.

Volume creates an alliance with Pusheen and Toast and in the hopes of targeting Zachary

* **Volume:** I’ll kick things off. Uh I feel like we should work together
* **Pusheen:** Oh I totally agree
* **Toast:** Same here
* **Volume:** Since Zachary wants to come for you it seems toast
* **Pusheen:** Yeah, well I wanna work with you two. He is asking me about the “plan”. I’m just gonna go along with whatever he says tho
* **Volume:** Kk

But Zachary has plans of his own

Hopefully I manipulated a little bit and I can save my ass because volume needs to go rn because idk if pusheen would vote toast
I told toast and pusheen that volume made a deal with me to take out them
Because they are a pair

And Toast takes the bait hook, line, and sinker.

Apparently
Volume is trying to be the middle
He made an alliance with me and Pusheen
THEN
MADE AN ALLIANCE WITH ZACH
SO
bye
I guess
idk
um

Pusheen assesses the situation

but it is hard to say
right now the plan is to vote out volume.
although I am afraid the tribe might get a lot smaller without any volume

## Tribal Council

* **Poison:** Welcome back for the fourth time in a row, Akvo. Let's get down to business. I have no individual questions for you, just a question for all of you. What happened?
* **Volume:** I feel like kanjono is just too strong
* **Zachary:** ^ Honestly they are overpowered. And we didn’t have our full tribe online so idk :sob:
* **Volume:** i was close but not fast enough i guess
* **Zachary:** You did good though it sounds like. They are just really really really good
* **Pusheen:** I guess we just suck or something. I mean, none of us are fantastic at challenges. Yet that tribe gets freakishly high scores all the time. Like idk hwo they all are so good at challenges. And yet none of us are
* **Poison:** Well this has been a very interesting discussion. But I'll have to cut it off here as it's time to vote. Toast, you're up.

At Tribal, Zachary's plans go off without a hitch and Volume is sent home 3-1

## Trivia

* The episode title comes from Volume's greeting to his alliance of himself, Toast, and Pusheen.
