Season Six

***Season Six** was set upon the Black Pearl and was themed based on the Pirates
 of the Caribbean films, featuring **12 Pirates** attempting to throw the **4 Redcoats** overboard. It was hosted in July of 2019 and had a cast of brand new players, along with a twist known as Rum-Runners Isle, which functioned as a choose your own adventure plotline, eventually allowing Sarah to return to the game with the unique role of **Castaway**. Despite frequent drama post-Halfway Havoc was one of the most epic stretches of all time, as almost all of the threatening players had made it to that point, with Sarah notably fighting her way through three tiebreakers in a row. The season did produce first ever final three jury vote, & created yet another epic UTR winner in @PurplePony13, who joined her brother in the Hall Of Fame. This season was a saucy one, however the characters that were within it are unforgettable, periodt.*

## **Season Summary**

As the crew boards the Black Pearl and introductions begin the voyage starts of smoothly, as mostly everyone gets along as bonding commences, along with an epic arrange of season portraits, with Sarah's majestic ship being deemed superior, making her the first Captain of the season. Nominations are based on bonds alone, and Ninja/Rival/Vin all fail to cement them, quickly dropping to the bottom, though Ninja is notably the only one to plead for his survival. Joseph also fesses up to claiming first and denying his 'twist', claiming that he saw no reason to start the season out with a double eviction, and surprisingly very few question it. Confessionals reveal that some grow weary of Matty's apparent paranoia, Sarah takes some heat for playing hard so soon, and nearly half the cast are called out as Redcoats. As the day nears an end many take note that Ninja will likely be harder to eliminate later than the others, and Sarah helps lead the charge in taking him out. He departs with a vast majority of 14-2, becoming the first player to be beached upon Rum-Runner's Isle.

After a brief game of Lie To Me and some further hearty smalltalk the trustlist is revealed as normal, though Vin having received a number of inactivity strikes is forcibly thrown overboard, becoming the second person to fall. Gabe and Sarah call Matty out for playing all sides, promising that he'll depart at once in the following week. Matty leads a charge against them, saying that they went behind his back the entire week, and that the two of them are incredibly fake, making fake deals across the board. Matty tries to set up a counter alliance against them but ultimately it's leaked to Sarah, who exposes it to the entire cast, causing Matty to plummet to the bottom. After a round of sea shanties and the infamous Diggy Diggy Hole, Carter claims 1st and sits himself out of the next reward challenge using his twist, announcing it publicly and proving himself to be a Pirate. With Aiden/Matty/Rival as the nominees a large group leads a charge against Aiden while many gun for Matty, causing a 7-7-1 split, with Aiden being the one and almost accidentally sending himself home. As is custom he revotes, and Matty departs 8-7, a third Pirate fallen.

On Rum-Runners Isle the true adventure awaits, beginning from the day Ninja's stranded upon that godforsaken spit of land. He opts to stay put and wait for the next soul to arrive, where he then meets up with Matty, who he must choose to explore the island with, or duel to the death. Matty & Ninja bond over a mutual distrust of Sarah, and having respect for each other the two of them team up, agreeing to take down Sarah should she ever end up upon the island. Ninja & Matty discover a hidden rum cellar first, in which they find a gleaming golden chest which they can split or steal. When they talk it over they agree to work together as ride or dies and both opt to split, lifting up the handles together, revealing three poisonous cobras with an engraving saying not all treasure is silver and gold, but because they aren't fighting and opted to split they quickly close the lids, saving each of their lives. As they celebrate Matty says they should keep this to themselves, as information is power, and Ninja agrees, hoping that someone else comes to the cellar. Matty suggests the point of the island may be to test how unbreakable they are despite temptations, and vows to never ever cross Ninja. As they head for the jungle they come across a large trench cutting through the island, and they opt to try and take a running jump across it. Matty agrees to do it but fails and falls in, tripping over the evil lemon from season five. Ninja is given an opportunity to leave him to die, creating one less player to beat, but Ninja refuses, saving his life. The two then return to the beach and find ancient chairs of stone, though when they sit they find themselves trapped, forced to wait for others to arrive. Matty & Ninja bond further as they wait, becoming a true duo of the game.

As tides are smooth for a moment the crew gathers below deck to compete in the annual cooking comp and Benny reigns supreme with his Fish & Pasta, claiming a spot in the Hall Of Chefs. However having become a minority following the previous week two of Benny's closest allies are dropped to the bottom, as Wicky and Shay become nominees, Rival joining them. Furthermore when George jumps up to slot one he claims the twist, revealing Joseph's trustlist and proving his role. Joseph's trustlist notably reveals a likely Benny/Wicky/Shay/Joseph group, and Joseph begins damage control. Shay/Wicky/Benny lead a charge against Sarah, congratulating her on leading a group of minions so well, with them all calling Aiden out for doing much of Sarah's dirty work. When Wicky snaps and sends a screenshot he discovers the lovely little ability to autonominate himself in the following week, putting him into safety in this one, making Shay the primary target of the other side. People grow weary of the majority growing in power and running the game, paticularly Sarah, and the minority takes a stand with the vote splitting 7-7 between Shay and Rival. Rival barely outedges Shay in the tiebreaker challenge and Shay's tossed overboard, another Pirate down.

The following week starts out bright as Ann announces her marriage to Joseph, inviting all to attend. The calm fades very quickly as Sarah calls out Joseph for saying she got 1st in the second week and declined it, though she did not. Joseph is adamant that she did, and Wicky takes a shot at Carter when the moment's right, saying he's playing each side incredibly hard, with Carter saying that Wicky will throw anyone under the bus to survive. Being in a seemingly cemented minority now Joseph slides to the bottom, Wicky joining him thanks to his screenshot stunt, though they do manage to get Aiden up again as well. When the twist/advantage is declined suspicion begins, though Sarah quickly admits to it and fibs, saying she didn't want to play the list reveal twist, as it would mean anyone could lie in the future. Confessionals reveal that people don't buy it & suspect her Redcoat status, some grow weary of people playing the middle like Carter & Tawni, and Benny is adamant that everything is fine it's all fine the game is fine. Knowing his time is about up Wicky tries to pull the screenshot stunt again but the cast knows the danger in letting it continue and he's evicted 7-5, the fifth straight Pirate eliminated.

Back on Rum-Runner's Isle as Shay becomes marooned he too opts to wait for the next arrival, hoping for a duel in his future, though he quickly changes his mind when Wicky arrives. The two of them hightail it together to the beach, where they discover Ninja and Matty stuck within the chairs, and they all greet each other. Wicky & Shay have an opportunity to duel them but decline, opting to bid farewell and head off into the jungle where they find the trench, though instead of jumping they opt to make camp for the night, and spend a round constructing a makeshift bridge. However the following day though the bridge works a downpour begins, with lightning striking a tree and sparking a fire. However as they spot a glimpse of a golden chest in the ground they ignore the danger and rush to uncover it, though they discover the price to claim it is blood, the words *Final Six* carved into it. They ultimately reach an agreement to duel for it rather than resist the temptation, in which Wicky shoots Shay, claims the chest, and returns to the beach.

Right away George adresses rumors about him, saying he's getting accused of spreading a Sarah/Aiden/Gabe AND Carter/Tawni/Alex set, saying that he'd very much enjoy a list reveal. Tawni begins to grow weary as she doesn't know who to trust or who started a set with her within it, and she goes as far as to propose doing her list in alphabetical order, a notion that hasn't been done since season one. As drama commences Joseph tries to act as a wholesome mediator, trying to sooth his fellow crewmates. After a brief roasting in which Joey returns to judge & a Tawni victory, barely sparing her from nominations, with Aiden/Gabe/Rival falling to the bottom instead, all former members of the majority alliance, and things only escalate further as George whips out the Double Eviction twist. Ultimately Rival & Gabe walk the plank, with Aiden receiving 8 saves, becoming the sixth and seventh Pirates eliminated as the Redcoats continue to completely dominate, anyone who stands in their way quickly paying the price.

Aiden begins to turn against Sarah quite quickly, after she calls him out for sheeping Tawni, Aiden saying that she's just mad she didn't get her way. Sarah says that he'll be voted out for fourth in any scenario, and things cross the line when personal insults come into play, with the cast dropping Sarah down to dead last after the annual CMIYC Clue Game, Aiden & Alex joining her upon the block. When all of the top three deny having gotten the twist an impromptu list reveal begins, with Sarah leading the charge and exposing where she placed the top three. When Carter/Aiden/Tawni follow people begin to do the math, with all signs pointing to Joseph. Joseph tries to deny it but Carter continues to call him out, saying he obviously got it, and that it's a Redcoat's game that everyone's playing into. Sarah then takes the opportunity to defect from her alliance, saying that Joseph was victim of a setup, with everyone trying to put him high and bait him into being confirmed as a Redcoat. Sarah offers to team up with George/Benny/Joseph/Ann to combat the foursome of Aiden, Alex, Carter, and Tawni, and everyone is fairly shocked. Sarah continues to call out Alex & Tawni as a duo while Carter reminds everyone at least three times that Joseph's a Redcoat, prompting Joseph to claim the Aztec Gold advantage and play it against Carter, forcing him to make his eviction votes public in every round until Joseph's eliminated, and adding on 5% to Joseph's total of the public vote should he make it to the end. Joseph happily admits to it, congratulates Carter on exposing him, and says he hopes Carter enjoys his new gift of gold. As the eviction nears Sarah jumping ship isn't enough to save her and she's evicted 6-3, becoming the first Redcoat to finally walk the plank.

As Halfway Havoc arrives reward challenges are abolished, it's announced that one previous eliminated player shall return from Rum-Runner's Isle at the conclusion of the week, and that this round shall be a reverse round, with players voting for the nominees, and putting the week's noms into a trustlist to determine the player walking the plank. When the Havoc begins George is the only one to escape with zero nomination points against him, with Alex/Ann/Benny/Joseph/Tawni all receiving four, facing the block together. Without Sarah's presence drama essentially evaporates, and the crew gathers together and shares a slew of pinky promises, despite the many broken ones of that week. As a confirmed Redcoat Joseph knows he's on the chopping block, and makes an incredibly hard case that it's better to keep him around rather than Redcoats that have yet to be discovered, and that moving forth he'll be a continuous shield, very unlikely to claim first ever again. Benny & Tawni make strong cases to stay as well, with Benny actually admitting to his Redcoat status as well since so few Pirates remain, and Tawni saying that control is long out of her hands, and that she's shocked at how things have unfolded, but that she cares for each and every one of them. In the end it's Joseph who ends up soaring to near the bottom of the trustlist but barely scrapes by, with Alex unable to form enough connections to survive, taking dead last on the overall list and becoming another fallen Pirate.

When Rival & Gabe arrive upon Rum-Runner's Isle together unlike the others they have no trust for one another, and instead opt to duel to the death. Gabe ends up cutting Evan to bits, leaving his corpse to be washed away by the tide. Sarah arrives soon afterwards and discovers that the storm has flooded out the island, forcing her to head for the beach as well, where everyone else awaits. As the surviving players talk Wicky lies and claims that Shay sacrificed himself, and Matty proposes they all team up against Gabe & Sarah in the duels. Sarah explains her reasonings for gunning for them and also offers to everyone the dynamics of the current game, saying that right now it's essentially four against four, with the sides being Aiden, Tawni, Carter, Alex against Ann, George, Benny, Joseph. Since Ninja & Matty had earlier discovered pistols hidden within the stone chairs they whip them out as the rain erodes away at the webbing that had previously kept them trapped, and they attempt to fire away at the others only to find the pistols have been emptied of ammo. When the entrance to a hidden labyrinth is discovered with a box of pistols in it the players dive in, only to find that ammunition has been emptied as well, though an arrow points leading into the maze. All remaining players upon the isle venture forth and compete in an epic showdown of CMIYC trivia, which Sarah comes out on top of, successfully finding a box of bullets and using it to kill the others within the maze, becoming the Sole Survivor of Rum-Runner's Isle. She receives the unique role of Castaway allowing her to win with Pirates or Redcoats, and also snatches the gleaming golden chest that Wicky killed Shay for earlier, as it no longer had an owner. She returns back to the game following the conclusion of Halfway Havoc, and the adventure continues.

After some cheerful banter on the Black Pearl and Sarah's return it's revealed that positions are fairly similar to how they were before the new arrival, with Sarah dropping back to the bottom, Tawni and Aiden following close behind, with the entire other side of the house claiming the top four slots, prompting Tawni to congratulate Benny or Joseph on winning the season, and Sarah to ask why the crew's letting Carter go unnominated. Sarah and Carter then spar over matters of friendship, with their bond seemingly shattered. When Ann claims first and unleashes the trustlist reveal everyone is intrigued greatly by the results, with Aiden notably putting Ann first, with Ann putting Aiden in dead last. Benny also calls Aiden out as a sheep once more, saying he continues to switch to a side that gets him nominated. The sides remain crystal clear as half of the house fights to keep Sarah, the other house eliminate her, with the vote deadlocking 4-4. As the hunt challenge commences Sarah outedges Tawni, surviving another day, with Tawni becoming the second Redcoat to fall.

Once again Sarah's unable to evade the target upon her, and she slips down to the bottom, Aiden joining her once again, with the nominee count dropping to two with the arrival of the final seven. Sarah asks people to recognize that she was right about Tawni's Redcoat status, and reminds everyone that Carter remains unnominated. Ann embraces claiming first once again, for the second week in a row. Confessionals reveal that Benny's threat level continues to rise, Sarah's using her final six chest as leverage to try and gain allies and is still seen as a huge contender to win, and one cast member reminds the group that George has yet to be nominated as well, not just Carter. Though the votes are there to send Sarah home Aiden fails to submit his, causing the vote to deadlock 3-3, and when Aiden mysteriously vanishes Sarah is declared the victor of the tie, her second consecutive tiebreaker survival, with Aiden walking the plank, completely by his own accord.

As Sarah's chest is opened it's revealed that her trustlist will have double effect, giving her a small chance at survival. Benny embraces gunning for Sarah again, admits lying to her, and says she should've left ages ago, saying she's constantly targeted him and Joseph, to which Sarah asks him why he made an alliance chat with her only to target her. Ultimately Sarah's double trustlist is to no avail and she slides to last yet again, though Joseph joins her. Joseph pitches that Sarah's survived obstacle after obstacle and was given a chance to repair her relationships with the jury, saying she'll likely try to take the game to a public vote and take out Benny if Joseph departs. Sarah embraces taking the game to a public vote, saying that if Joseph leaves that will be what happens, to give everyone a chance, claiming that she's hated. She furthermore accuses Benny & Joseph of a final two, trying to convince Ann that Joseph won't take her to the finals. She asks Joseph who he would take over Ann or Benny, to which Joseph refuses to answer. Ann says that she was willing to work with Sarah had Sarah been truthful about her nominations that round, and says that there's no chance she saves Sarah's ass with Joseph on the block. However Carter believes if Joseph stays then Ann will be evicted at four at grant him immunity, resulting in a cemented Joseph win. The vote is a pivotal one, and the sides deadlock 3-3, another tiebreaker commencing which Sarah barely wins, resulting in Joseph falling, leaving Benny as the last remaining Redcoat.

As the final five begins things grow quiet till results, though Carter is at long last nominated for the first time all season, with Benny about to join him until a screenshot is sent by Sarah, who was originally to place first, but instead drops down to dead last. George is then left as the second unnominated player in CMIYC history, claiming another 1st place, and he quickly flies out from under the radar, trying to showcase the game he's played thus far, saying that saving Sarah the previous day was to ensure a target bigger than him let him slide by this round unnoticed. In a final display of goodness Sarah offers to go home in order to let Carter make the finals, so he can win as she believes he should, saying she's sick of being the villain. Sarah is in the end evicted unan1mously, with Ann being the only one to vote for Carter.

As the jury reunites and reminisce over old times upon the Pearl Tawni gives respect to Carter & George for aligning as confirmed Pirates, Matty makes a case for Benny as the deserving winner, and Sarah says that she wants to evict George so that he'll give immunity to Carter, and that she's 'supposed' to tell Tawni/Alex/Aiden to do the same. Back in the house Ann says that she'll give immunity to George should she depart, and George says that he wants Benny/Ann to win should he leave, saying they've been loyal allies and that he's promised Ann immunity ages ago should he depart. Carter accuses Benny of talking to the jury and uncovering Sarah/Carter's plan to get George voted out. Despite the accusations, not a scrap of evidence is provided of Benny talking to jury members after it was banned, and the only thing uncovered upon investigation is a plan by Benny to try and get votes on Ann before jury contact was outlawed, to which he receives a small penalty. Frustrated that the hosts refuse to punish Benny without proof, Carter quits, and George/Ann/Benny advance to a final three jury vote instead, with the surviving two making it to the finale.

As the final three unleash their pleas reception is very positive to all three of them, Benny's in particular. Ann pitches that she played the middle immensely, was only nominated at Halfway Havoc, and was in a key position all game, eliminating threat after threat. Benny makes the case that he hid his Redcoat status for a decent while and survived even after he was out in the open, and was targeted relentlessly, his social skills advancing him to the end. George says that he of course went unnominated, stayed in the top four for a large portion of the season, and always left larger threats in front of him. Ultimately despite being unnominated George departs 7-3-2, with the jury sending Benny and Ann to the finals for a Redcoat/Pirate showdown. Though both fight hard and have played well despite his Redcoat role controversy still surrounds Benny's game, with a majority being able to recognize that Ann played an excellent, clean, & upfront game through and through, and would make for a very deserving winner, sending her to join her brother in the Hall Of Fame with 65.4% of the public vote.
