## Gameplay

### Ejected In

N/A

Winning topflight week one, Eclipse was approached by Jill, who had an idea for an all girls alliance. The alliance consisted of herself and Luna, Jill and Wendy, and Joanna and Paisley. The alliance found immense success, taking out men back to back to back With the support of her alliance Eclipse able to survive her nominations, being nominated weeks 3 and 4 before aviating.

Eclipse was left in the dark week five when Luna went behind her back and voted out Wendy / Jill. After the ejection Eclipse and Luna got into a minor argument, where the two girls agreed to pin the blame onto Joanna without her knowledge. Once Wendy and Jill returned into the game it was Eclipse who cemented Luna's story and convinced the two girls that it was Joanna and Paisley who flipped.

In week 9 Eclipse won topflight and nominated Cameron with Paisley as a pawn. By the end of the week she got her way with Cameron being ejected, leaving Blue on his own in the game. She won topflight again during week 10 to secure her and Luna's safety. After Blue and Bolin won killshot Eclipse and Luna campaigned for Joanna to be ejected, seeing her as the bigger threat.

In week 12 Eclipse won topflight and successfully got Blue ejected after Bolin won killshot. At this point The Golden Girls dissolved and she pawned Wendy over and over. Week 13 Eclipse won topflight again and secured her and Luna's safety into the final 4, sending Bolin packing for 5th. In final 4 Eclipse won topflight but Luna was sent out for 4th, causing her distress. Eclipse failed to win the first class competition and she was the last to be ejected.

#### SHUFFEL! 8: Frequent Flyers

Week one Eclipse and Dick won topflight, and she was glad to be paired with a strong player like him. She and Dick nominated Farrah / Gary and Troy / Jaelyn, with the intention of getting the winners out. Once the nominations were set Eclipse campaigned to get the winners out, and was shocked to see that the vote tied, let alone the winners staying in the tie breaker.

Week two Eclipse was let in on the fact that Farrah / Gary would be staying, but she still campaigned to get them out. She thought it made no sense to keep winners in so she voted them out anyways. The next week Eclipse and Dick were nominated by Damien and Blair, but won the killshot.

Week four Eclipse was nominated by Diyoza and this hurt her, thinking she had an unspoken connection with the fellow native girl. She lost the killshot, but against Farrah she felt confident and stayed in the vote by a large margin. Week five Eclipse was approached by Diyoza and the two made up, vowing to keep each other safe, so Eclipse saved her in the vote.

Eclipse won topflight in week six and targeted Gary, but he won the killshot and ruined her plans. This week "Triple Ds" was created but Eclipse would not be a part of it, instead forming a solid alliance with Troy, seeing him as one of the only people who would work with her. Week seven Eclipse chose to save Diyoza once again, and figured that the woman would do the same for her.

Week eight Eclipse was nominated by Diyoza next to Blair and she got into a heated argument with Diyoza, feeling betrayed. Eclipse muttered the infamous words "Really? On my fucking birthday? I'm going home on my fucking birthday? Stupid Aboriginal cunt. You're not even American! What are you doing here?!" Eclipse stayed in the vote against Blair.

Week nine Eclipse won topflight and was going to nominate Diyoza but Troy beat her to it, so she settled for Damien and Hudson. She was upset when Diyoza won killshot, but happy that Hudson ended up being ejected, since she didn't want the winners to make it to the end again.

Week ten Diyoza nominated Eclipse once again and the native girl was not surprised. After losing the killshot Eclipse confirmed with Dick that she was staying and said her goodbyes to her only ally in the game besides Dick, Troy. She gave him a long hug and got teary eyed as he was ejected.

Week eleven she would be nominated next to Gary and lost the killshot again. Diyoza wanted to vote Eclipse out, but Scott and Dick made sure the vote was 2-1 for the final winner to be ejected. In final five it was Diyoza and Scott on the block, and it looked like the vote would tie. Diyoza pulled Eclipse and Dick into a room with the intent of tricking Eclipse into believing that they could go to final three together. Dick and Diyoza both told Eclipse the deal was real, and in a desperate attempt to gain a late game ally Eclipse agreed and voted Scott out.

In final 4 Eclipse won topflight and she made a final 2 deal with Diyoza, thinking she had the best chance to beat her over Damien since Dick was ejected for fourth. She was nervous in final three after losing the first class competition, but Diyoza kept her end of the deal and took Eclipse to final 2.

In the finals Eclipse gave a speech talking about her underdog gameplay, but the jury respected Diyoza's powerful game over the underdog story and Eclipse placed 2nd.
