Season 6: Twisted Metal All Stars

## Hosts

Creator: Myka

Hosts/Production (Calypso/Coarse Planners): Adam, Angela, Aqeel, Archer, Avery, Cooper, Dani, Fire, Iz, Lex, Mello, Michael, Minor, Morgs, Tim, West, Xander

## Development

This was the sixth season, and end of the First Era, of **Myka's VideORG Games,** themed around **Twisted Metal 3.**

## Twists/Changes

* **Starter Cars:** Each castaway selected a car from the Twisted Metal series. Everyone received an advantage that they could use twice throughout the game, with the type of advantage depending on which car they selected.
* **Health Recharge Bay (ghost island):** Each episode, one castaway from the winning tribe (or someone chosen by an individual immunity winner) would go to the Health Bay. There, they had the option to risk their next tribal vote in a 50/50 chance to win an advantage from/inspired by advantages and plays from the previous seasons of VideORGs.

## Season Summary

Okay, so this season was a lot, and I have a lot of feelings about it. It was my dream to get us to an all star org here, and we accomplished that. So, let’s start with the good, of which there was a lot! The cast- I mean, this cast was so freakin loaded. Every single player was fantastic, there was not a dud in the entire cast and everyone deserved to be there. Then, the entertainment. Y’all BROUGHT characters this season. Your confs were phenomenal, in depth, descriptive, and amazing to read. And your social games were insane. I said it at merge but it was the most social cast by merge I had ever seen in any game ever. That is phenomenal, and brings this season up so much!

But now for the bad. For one, it was a bit predictable and there wasn’t very much super complex strategic gameplay happening. There weren’t many vote outs we didn’t see coming. But that in and of itself would have been fine. But there was something far bigger that for me brought this season down and made a dark cloud for me. This may also mean my ranking is personal here and thus those may end up disagreeing with me. But this season nearly broke me. Not only just the fact so many players kept saying they wish they didn’t play, which hurts bad enough. But The names and insults I got called, and talked about, not just in game but in DM’s. The hate I received from cast members, specs, and even hosts. The things that were said about me and my character. The fact I’ve been blocked by players and hosts. It brought me to an all time low in my mental health in ways you can’t imagine. I was called some horrible and awful things. And it made me come minutes away from ending videorg altogether. I’m at this point uncomfortable in my own server. So sadly, that feeling is all I’m going to remember looking back on this season. And all that causes me is hurt and sadness. So no matter the merits of the great things that happened this season, I simply can’t see it in any other way because of how hurtful it was.

## Episode Guide

**Episode One – “Operation Message Everyone is a Go” - Z**

Previously on, Survivor...

After the final board of board party, Season 5 officially came to an end, with Minor taking the crown.

However this was not the end, as it was announced that this season would be the first ever all-stars season. 24 Previous survivors, each with a reputation in their original season would be cast into an all-out war within the boundaries of the game “Twisted Metal”.

At the marooning, the cast was sorted out into tribes, three tribes of 8 were to battle it out at the start of this twisted season.

These tribes were;

* The Hollywood tribe, consisting of
	+ Previous two time player, Bam, competing in season 2 and 4
	+ Cream Cheese, Dark horse of season 3
	+ Previous POTS, and Fan Favourite, Jenny
	+ Jim, the 9th place finisher in the first season
	+ Mr Pink, The POTS of season 3
	+ Reiwa, Fan favourite from season 5
	+ 10th place from season 4, Riley
	+ And Tony, VideORGs' first ever winner.
* The New York City tribe, Containing;
	+ Aidan, Hero from season 5
	+ Villain of season 4, Dan
	+ Hannah, Our hero from season 2
	+ Pit, 4th place from season 5
	+ Shaw, The winner from season 3
	+ The 8th place finisher from season 3, Swump
	+ Villain of season 1, Tobi
	+ And Z, 2 time player in both season 1 and 4.
* And finally, The Washington DC Tribe, Housing;
	+ Brock, Robbed Juror of Season 4
	+ Ginge, Robbed Juror of Season 2
	+ Jacob, Villain of Season 5
	+ Jobre, Villain of Season 3
	+ JP, 9th Place in Season 2
	+ Lemons, Fan Favourite and POTS in Season 1
	+ Mars, Fan favourite of season 3
	+ And finally, Parker, the winner of season 4

With a crazy batch of winners and awards, It was finally time to get the game on the road. And what better way than with the first twist of the season? It was announced that everyone would have to select from a limited amount of starter vehicles from the game of twisted metal. Each vehicle would give a different ability to each player. These were chosen privately, but each player was allowed to share if they wanted. From this point, the players were wished the best. And the game was on.

Immediately, all of our all-stars got to work, and quite a few found the hidden idol clue, leading to a very long, rotating, jigsaw puzzle. Only 2 idols were hidden, so it was first come first serve.

Tobi found the first idol, and not long after, Z found the second idol. A huge advantage to start the game with, assuming that they knew how to use them.

Now that the formalities were out of the way, It was time to get into our first challenge of the season. In which, Myka announced the second twist. Every challenge was a rebranded challenge from the previous season. And what better way to start this party with none other than “**Have a Party**”

The challenge involved teamwork, and overall speed. However, One of our allstars felt the need to use their ability right away, and with that: The Hollywood, and New York City tribes had 30 minute penalties

However, in the end, it didn’t matter. Winning the challenge with a total time of 10 Hours and 12 Minutes was the Washington DC Tribe.

It came down to Hollywood and New York city tribe, who both had the same amount of penalties, so it came down to overall score in which in a time of 14 hours and 3 minutes, compared to 15 hours and 5 minutes, The New York City tribe came victorious, sending the Hollywood tribe to tribal council.

After a short time of deliberation, the votes had all come in, and tribal was to start. No one on this tribe had the idol, so it was time to read the votes

First Vote... Bam

Second Vote... Riley

Third Vote... Bam

Fourth Vote... Bam

Fifth Vote... Bam

Sixth Vote... And the first person voted out of Survivor: Twisted Metal... Bam

Bam was a little upset, and didn’t understand why or what happened, but in a unanimous vote he was the first person to leave, leaving as he came in... An All-star

With Bam gone, 23 All-stars remain. Who will be voted out next? Find out next time on... Survivor

**Episode Two - "I know jack shit about metal that is twisted" - Swump**

Previously on Survivor...

Our three tribes had marooned, each filled with winners, fan favourites, heroes, and villains from across VideORG history. After a difficult first challenge, the Washington DC tribe emerged victorious, while the Hollywood tribe was sent to tribal council. Though several choices were deliberated, the vote eventually settled on Bam, who was voted out unanimously.

Before long, the next challenge was announced - "**Trivia Tournament**," a returnee challenge from seasons 2 and 5. Each tribe picked representatives to answer questions on one of 7 trivia categories relating to the Twisted Metal series.

Once again, both the Hollywood and New York City tribes had disadvantages played on them. The former was prevented from doing any research until 15 minutes before the challenge beginning, while the later had points taken off from Hannah, Pit, and Aidan.

The Washington DC tribe almost immediately jumped out to an overwhelming lead. Although both the other tribes had no chance of catching up to them, going into the last round of the tournament they were separated by only one point.

The last category featured Tony representing Hollywood tribe, Tobi representing New York City, and Jobre representing Washington DC. Although the others put up good efforts, Tobi quickly swept the questions to ensure immunity for New York City tribe and a second consecutive trip to tribal council for Hollywood tribe.

There was much deliberation over the vote, but after only a few hours, every parchment had been submitted. Once again, nobody held an idol, so the votes were read without any advantage plays.

First vote...Reiwa.

Second vote...Jim.

Third vote...Jim.

Fourth vote...Jim.

Fifth vote...And the second all star voted out of Survivor: Twisted Metal All-Stars...Jim.

Jim was disappointed, but appreciated the rest of the tribe's honesty about the vote.

After two episodes there had been two unanimous boots, but lines were already starting to be drawn, and if anyone could be counted on to surprise, it's a cast filled with this many all-stars. Who would be eliminated next time? Find out next time on...Survivor.

**Episode Three – “People who are down always need another kicking ” – Jenny**

Previously on... Survivor.

After another tribal for the Hollywood tribe, Jim was voted out unanimously, and 23 allstars remained to battle it out for the title of sole survivor, with the tribal being chaotic it very much so seemed as though anything could happen, and for the Hollywood tribe, winning immunity was all they wanted.

Once again, the game was a foot, and Myka was to announce the next returning challenge to videorgs allstars season. This time, the gauntlet would be making a return, now known as the **Town Bloodshed Gauntlet**. Each tribe was to assign one person to each parts of the car, and the tribe with the slowest overall time would go to tribal. Many advantages were played, with deflections of disadvantages, and advantages countering the disadvantages. Overall however, Brock and Parker were forced to sit out for the NYC tribe, and Jenny, Tony and Pink would all have varying levels of disadvantages.

The challenge was distributed as so;

Doing endurance (The body): Riley for the Hollywood tribe, Swump for the NYC tribe and Jobre for the Washington tribe.

Doing Chess (The tires): Pink, Pit and JP

Doing List matching (The Weapons): CC, Dan and Ginge

Doing the flow puzzles (The Engine): Jenny, Aidan and Lemons

Doing the Sudoku (The Special Parts): Tony, Shaw and Jacob

However, All of this amounted to nothing. The penalty for not completing your section would be 24 hours, and unfortunately, all but one of our allstars could finish their parts. This skewed the results massively, with first place going to the Washington tribe, with a time of 8:04:08, Closely followed by the Hollywood tribe with a time of 8:31:55. And the NYC tribe, with a total time of over 28 hours, as a result of aidans incompletion, would be going to tribal

On the NYC Tribe, deliberations begun, being the first tribal that they’d have been to, no one wanted to be first. However, someone had to be. Overall though, It was a consensus yet again as one person was felt to not have left as much of an impact. With Z Keeping his idol, the votes would be read.

First vote... Pit

Second vote... Hannah

Third vote... Pit

Fourth vote... Pit

Fifth vote... Pit

Sixth vote... And the third person voted out of survivor: twisted metal... Pit 5 Votes was enough to send pit home. Pit, in his own words, was crushed. But he understood that it was a game and he swiftly wished his fellow contestants good luck

22 All-stars are left, who will be voted out next time? On, Survivor!

**Episode Four – “Read. The Fucking. Rules” – Myka**

Previously On... Survivor

With 2 of our all-stars down, 22 remained. With Hollywood tribe desperate for a win, they pulled through, sending the NYC Tribe to tribal, where the consensus was pit. Now, Final 21 was around the corner.

Going straight to the challenge, myka announced the next exciting twist. This tribal would be a double tribal. 2 Tribes would be going to tribal council together where they’d vote one person out. And with a new twist, comes a new challenge. This time, **Scattegories** would be making a return! With a 5 minute timer to answer as many of the categories as possible, whilst starting with the same letter. Additionally, with any unique answers, 3 points would be gained instead of 1.

A lot of people made mistakes in this challenge, however in the end, there was 4 points separating the winners, and both 2nd and 3rd who tied. The first tribe going to tribal council with a score of 103... Hollywood. Would the Washington tribe go to their first tribal? Or would they avoid tribal one more time?

The tribe winning immunity... with a score of 107... New York City Tribe, Sending Washington DC tribe to tribal council with the Hollywood tribe

Over on the NYC Tribe, Tobi was selected to go to the health bay, where he managed to gamble his vote for an advantage

Whilst seemingly at first, this tribal would be complex, It turned out to be controlled, and Riley fell for the wrath of Jenny. Being told to not tell anyone a name, and following it. With only 3 hours left would he be able to get the votes onto Reiwa?

First vote... Reiwa

Second Vote... Riley

Third Vote... Riley

Fourth Vote... Riley

Fifth Vote... Riley

Sixth Vote... Riley

Seventh Vote... Riley

Eighth Vote... Riley

Ninth Vote... And the fourth all-star voted out of survivor: twisted metal. Riley.

Riley was hurt, but wished luck to everyone, leaving with the quote “13-1 my ass”. What a poet

20 All-stars remain, Who will be voted out next time on.... Survivor!

**Episode Five – “HELP PARKER JUST CALLED ME A DUDE BRO” – Mars**

Previously on... Survivor

After a unanimous joint tribal containing the Hollywood tribe, and Washington DC tribe sent riley packing, 20 all-stars were to await the next challenge.

However only one really knew what was to come.

Everybody

Drop

Buffs

We are switching tribes

The final 20 would be split into four tribes, these being;

* The Moscow Tribe, Containing;
	+ Lemons, from the Washington tribe
	+ Shaw, from the NYC tribe
	+ CC, from the Hollywood tribe
	+ Mr Pink, from the Hollywood tribe
	+ And Reiwa, from the Hollywood tribe

* The Tokyo Tribe, Consisting of;
	+ Jacob, from the Washington tribe
	+ Mars, from the Washington tribe
	+ Parker, from the Washington tribe
	+ Hannah, from the NYC tribe
	+ And Tony, from the Hollywood tribe
* The Paris Tribe, Featuring;
	+ Ginge, from the Washington tribe
	+ Jobre, from the Washington tribe
	+ Brock, from the Washington tribe
	+ Swump, from the NYC tribe
	+ And Tobi, from the NYC tribe (Who has an idol)
* And finally, The London Tribe, Housing;
	+ JP, from the Washington tribe
	+ Aidan, from the NYC tribe
	+ Dan, from the NYC tribe
	+ Z, from the NYC tribe (Who has an idol)
	+ Jenny, from the Hollywood tribe

With this, the game was mixed up once more, and the next challenge was introduced. **Rock Urns** made a return, in the version of Rock Pot. The tribe with the number of rocks that was furthest away from 40 rocks would be going to tribal.

However, there was a twist. The player who got the most rocks would earn an advantage, and the player who got the least rocks would receive a disadvantage

At the results, It was determined that the player with the most rocks, was Tobi, earning himself an advantage, whereas Lemons received the least, earning a disadvantage.

As for the results... Winning immunity, with 3 rocks less than 40... The Moscow Tribe! In second place, with 4 rocks more than 40... The Tokyo Tribe! The other two tribes got over 15 more than 40... With 17 rocks more compared to 22... The Paris Tribe... Wins immunity! Sending the London tribe to tribal council!

However, With the recharge bay still in play, CC was sent and gambled his vote... Where it faded away, and he left empty handed.

At tribal council, tribe lines were definitely in play, and it came down to JP Jenny or Z. It was time to read the votes, with his neck on the line, would Z play his idol? If anybody has a hidden immunity idol and would like to play it... now would be the time to do so... Ok. Its time to read the votes...

First vote... JP

Second vote... Z

One vote JP, One vote Z, Three votes left

Third vote... JP

Fourth vote... And the fifth all-star voted out of survivor: twisted metal JP.

JP was modest, wished good luck, and left the game.

With 19 all-stars remaining, who would be voted out next time on... Survivor!

**Episode Six – “It’s not always easy being a fool” – Jenny**

Previously on... Survivor After the departure of JP, the tribes were excited to get into the new challenge, however, at the start of the episode, Z and Reiwa was hit with a sonic boom, causing them to be unable to talk through words anywhere other than their confessionals.

Now, At the challenge it was announced that the London tribe would shave 30 seconds off their time due to an advantage, in the game of “time stamp game” with picky timings and a need for attention to detail.

Many made 1 second mistakes, however overall, the results were in. With two 10 minute penalties, the Moscow tribe won with a time of 14m 59s, 6 minutes faster than all other tribes. In second place, 13s faster than third place, with four 10 minute penalties was the Paris tribe, beating out the London tribe despite their 30 second time removal. This sending the London tribe and the Tokyo tribe to tribal council

At tribal, the vote was seemingly simple, with the London tribe being theoretically a minority; however it was not to be. Before tribal occurred, Jacob publicly gave his steal a vote to dan, as a sign of what was to come

With no idols played, it was time for the vote

First vote... Tony

Second vote... Dan

Third vote... Jacob

1 Vote Tony, 1 Vote Dan, 1 Vote Jacob, 6 Votes Left

Fourth vote... Jacob

Fifth vote... Jacob

Sixth vote... Jacob

Seventh vote... And the sixth all-star voted out of survivor: twisted metal... Jacob

With the first non-unanimous vote, Jacob left silently and the game was one all-star less

18 All-stars remain, who will be voted next time... on, Survivor!

**Episode Seven – “You have got to be kidding me” – Z**

Previously on... Survivor.

After Jacobs departure, the 4 tribes awaited their next challenge eagerly, and the f18 was comfortable.

Getting straight into the challenge, Myka announced yet another twist... This tribal... would be a double tribal, and hence the cast size would go from final 18, to final 16. With this, the challenge of “**Gridlock Unscramble**” was announced, in which there would be clues needed to be unscrambled in order to move on, with the two tribes with the longest times going to tribal council separately

With 11m 18s, completely thrashing the bottom 2 tribes... The Paris Tribe! Meaning all of them would make the top 16

However, next to be announced was 4th, being the London tribe, with a time of 54m 46s, causing whoever got out at their tribal to be 18th. The middle two tribes were Moscow and Tokyo, and to say it was close would be a flat out lie. Safe, with a time of 20m 12s, was Moscow tribe, compared to the 41m 39s from the Tokyo tribe, hence whoever got out would get 17th

Going into tribal for the London tribe, there was a lot of confusion. With Dan asking to get out, and the whole vote being confusion. However, Z had the idol... which he decided to keep.

First vote... Dan

Second vote... Aidan

Third vote... Z

A complete shock to Z, with a 1-1-1 vote, and one more remaining

Fourth vote... And the Seventh All-star voted out... Z

With an Idol in his pocket, and confusion In his soul, Z left the game.

However the game wasn’t over, and the Tokyo tribal would be right around the corner, with a much simpler vote...

First vote... Hannah

Second vote... Mars

Third vote... Hannah

Fourth vote... And the Eighth All-star voted out... Hannah

Hannah left humbly and the cast was at the final 16, with only 16 all-stars left, who would be voted out next time... on, Survivor!

**Episode Eight – “I just sacrificed a chicken to the Mayan Gods in hopes for a good swap” - Tony**

Previously on... Survivor

Both tribes which had lost a member already went to tribal council. The London tribe voted out Z with an idol, in a vote messier than ever. Meanwhile, the Tokyo tribe sent Hannah home by a unanimous decision. They would soon find out whether their decisions would pay off...

Drop.

Your.

Buffs.

We are switching tribes.

At the final 16, tribes were shuffled for the second time, leaving the cast on two tribes of eight each. These were:

* The Egypt tribe, featuring:
	+ Brock from Washington and Paris
	+ Dan from NYC and London
	+ Lemons from Washington and Moscow
	+ Mars from Washington and Tokyo
	+ Parker from Washington and Tokyo
	+ Reiwa from Hollywood and Moscow
	+ Shaw from NYC and Moscow
	+ And Tobi from NYC and Paris, holding the only remaining idol
* And the Holland tribe, featuring:
	+ Aidan from NYC and London
	+ Cream Cheese from Hollywood and Moscow
	+ Ginge from Washington and Paris
	+ Jenny from Hollywood and London
	+ Jobre from Washington and Paris
	+ MrPink from Hollywood and Moscow
	+ Swump from NYC and Paris
	+ And Tony from Hollywood and Tokyo

It wasn't long before the tribes faced their next challenge. Returning from season 4 was **Town Defense**, a challenge in which members of a tribe would have to unite to take over cities, which would close at random intervals and award tribes points. It didn't take long for both tribes to lose crucial players. Holland lost half their tribe almost immediately, with Aidan, Ginge, Swump, and Cream Cheese all being eliminated due to not following directions. Meanwhile, Egypt lost Brock and Lemons early on, then Tobi later into the night. However, only one tribe managed to gain any points at all. By a landslide of 3 points against -4 with almost half the cities closed and only a few hours into the challenge, Egypt took home immunity, sending Holland to tribal council.

The tribal council for Holland was rather chaotic, with no clear dynamics set in stone. Matters were only complicated by both Cream Cheese and Swump having lost votes at the recharge bay. However, before long, the tribe would come to a decision.

First vote...*No vote.*

Second vote...*No vote.*

Third vote...Swump.

Fourth vote...Swump.

Fifth vote...Swump.

Sixth vote...and the ninth player voted out...Swump.

Swump was shocked and bitter, throwing insults at his former tribemates and calling out those who he believed to have betrayed him by name. Despite the circumstances, the game had one less all star, and only 15 remaining on the cast.

And even with a unanimous vote, safety was never guaranteed from being voted out next time...on Survivor!

**Episode Nine - “Magic 8 Ball who should I vote?” - Parker**

Previously on... Survivor.

After a swap into two tribes, Swump had been unanimously booted at Holland's first tribal council, being by far the least close with anyone else on the tribe. Would this work for them? It wouldn't be long until they found out...

No time was wasted before Baltimore announced the next challenge, first closing any and all direct messages. The challenge he announced was **Greed**, and along with it, several twists.

The arena would be opened to each tribe, and communication would be possible between everyone in the game through the whisper system. An hour after the arena opened, an individual immunity idol would be put in place in the arena. Each player would have 15 minutes to grab it, but it would come with a price - taking the idol would immediately send their tribe to tribal council. If nobody took the idol in that time, each tribe would be sent to their own tribal council, and nobody would have immunity.

The arena was at first a friendly scene, as friends and allies from opposite tribes caught up with one another; however, there was tension throughout the cast. Several players from both tribes considered taking the immunity idol, but by the time it was placed, the arena had quieted down. After 15 minutes had passed, the idol was still in place, and both tribes would go to their own separate tribal council.

Egypt's tribal council came first, and it was a contentious one from the very start. Alliance lines had already started to form within the tribe, and although things were quiet at first, tensions erupted in the hour before tribal council. Tobi was stuck without a vote after losing at the recharge bay, and within the last hour, Dan publicly played his vote steal advantage on Lemons, taking a vote away from him as well.

After almost all the time available to them, the votes were read...

First vote...*no vote.*

Second vote...Lemons.

Third vote...Reiwa.

Fourth vote...Reiwa.

Fifth vote...Lemons.

Sixth vote...Lemons.

Seventh vote...and tenth person voted out of Twisted Metal: All Stars...Lemons.

Lemons had already come to accept his fate, but left a parting shot at Shaw, who he felt had betrayed him.

Meanwhile in Holland, the tribal was far less contentious, but far more difficult. Jobre had caught on very early that he had little chance of surviving, and spent much of tribal council ranting about subjects both related and unrelated to the game. Although it took him almost until the deadline to submit his vote, the votes were soon read...

First vote...Jobre.

Second vote...Jobre.

Third vote...Jobre.

Fourth vote...and eleventh person voted out of Twisted Metal: All Stars...Jobre.

Jobre fell silent as he exited the game.

Two more votes, and two more all stars had exited the game before making merge. Although one vote was unanimous and one was extremely contentious, neither could predict for certain what may happen next time on...Survivor.

**Episode 10- "I may be an idiot but I'm not dumb" - Tony**

Previously on... Survivor.

With the remanence of the double tribal settling down, Mars felt hurt and on the outs. She replied shortly to most members of her tribe, which began to isolate her. Parker, meanwhile, felt confident he could maneuver his way back in, however, counter alliances were forming around him he was unaware of, with Shaw firmly in the middle of two warring sides. Fearing having to make a choice before merge, he play his special attack from his car to cause a disadvantage in the next challenge on MrPink, Tony, and Jenny.

The challenge was soon announced, and it was **Mastermind**. In total, the Holland tribe was starting with a 6 guess disadvantage. Although both tribes had great performers (Brock, Parker, and Jenny especially stood out on this front), in the end the final averages came close. Holland ended up losing by the exact 6 point disadvantage, sending them right back to tribal council. Egypt, meanwhile, chose to send Parker to Health Recharge Bay, where he risked his vote and ultimately won an Angel Idol.

Cream Cheese was worried back at Holland, as was Ginge. Both felt they could be targeted at tribal. Ginge, for being outside OG Hollywood, and CC for the business that had kept him from connecting as well. In the end, Jenny Tony and MrPink felt their best game move was to vote out CC, to lessen the potential threat of a “tight Hollywood core”. Although emotions were tough and everyone felt sad, CC was voted out unanimously, with his vote the only one on Ginge. With heavy hearts, Holland returned to camp praying for a merge.

12 are left.... who will be voted out, tonight?

**EPISODE 11 - "You sure it's gonna be you?" - TOBI**

MERGE TIME, BABE! After the tension built up from a long, exhausting pre-merge phase, merge was looking to be a cathartic phase for everyone, with disgustingly intertwined relationships, and 12 players more than capable of taking control of their own games and destinies. For their first individual immunity challenge, the players were given a VideORGs history quiz, which... they didn't perform too well in, however, the last remaining, **TONY** and **PINK** gave each other a hard time for the first win of the season, with **MR. PINK** being the last one standing, winning the first person to hold individual immunity during the merge phase this season, but also having the power to send someone to the recharge bay, for which, as he was in a rush, he chose to send himself, in a move that upset some of his close allies, like **SHAW** and **JENNY**. As for tribal, **PARKER** was very adamant and transparent to most people about the fact that he wanted **REIWA** gone, with **JENNY** and **TONY** backing him up, due to the fact **REIWA** had thrown them under the bus to save herself previously. Most people seemed alright with it on the surface, but another power player, **TOBI**, wasn't too happy with this possible boot, as he didn't want **PARKER** or **JENNY** gaining much power by getting their way in the first merge tribal council. **TOBI** started figuring out a plan to save **REIWA** with **AIDAN** and **DAN** ( #deleted-channel ), these three had a long VC, where they discussed possible options, and the fact that **GINGE** was effectively in the middle of the tribe, and would be the crucial vote. They let **AIDAN** try to convince **GINGE** to not vote **REIWA**, which... succeeded! They managed to get **GINGE** on board to target one of **PARKER/JENNY/TONY**, but his preference was one of **JENNY** or **TONY**.

However, a problem surfaced when another person they had rely on, **SHAW**, put his foot down when it came to targeting #deleted-channel's preferred target of the two, **JENNY**, and they settled for a **TONY** boot, which **AIDAN** wasn't content with, but he knew it would be the path of least resistance and possibly the path that would piss the least people off. With this plan in motion, it seemed like **REIWA** had been saved, and **TONY**'s time was up, as the coalition of **AIDAN/DAN/GINGE/REIWA/SHAW/TOBI** was a majority, except for one little detail... and it's the fact that both **DAN** and **SHAW** filled **PARKER** in on this **TONY** vote, thinking he would be ok with it, which was a grave mistake. **PARKER**, figuring out that he'd be in a position of no power if **TONY** went without doing anything, knew he had to use his newly found Angel Idol to save **TONY**, and so the wheels started turning to make a counter plan. He gathered all his close allies (**BROCK, JENNY, MARS**) and filled them in on what was happening, and shortly after created #deleted-channel, and devised a plan to save **TONY** and gain control of the tribe. They agreed on the fact that getting **TOBI** out, in hopes of possibly getting rid of both an idol and an exra vote, was the best course of action, and so they made sure **MARS** and **TONY** were on board, too. The plan was simple, **PARKER** would play his Angel Idol on **TONY**, while #deleted-channel would vote **TOBI**, with **MARS/TONY** voting **REIWA**, in case **TOBI** had an idol played on him. While this plan was being agreed on, the other side was feeling a little uneasy, with both **GINGE** and **SHAW** doubting each other. **TOBI** had a feeling **PARKER** wouldn't be fine with a **TONY** boot, but as he had already been told, there was nothing much he could do besides trying to change the target, which he didn't think to do.

As the votes were locked, **PARKER** played his idol on **TONY**, while **TOBI** was faced with a dilemma, play his idol or not? And if he played it, on whom? He ultimately decided not to play the idol, not even on himself, thinking **BROCK/MARS** wouldn't vote him. That cost him his life in this game as the 3 votes for him were read and he was eliminated in a ~~6~~-3-2 vote, making him the merge boot, the alt juror of the season, and continuing his 12th place curse. To recap, the voting sides looked like this Voted **TONY** (all negated): Aidan, Dan, Ginge, Reiwa, Shaw, Tobi Voted **TOBI**: Brock, Jenny, Parker Voted **REIWA**: Mars, Tony In the end, an extremely emotional merge vote left us with a lot of people feeling hurt, and a lot of trust broken, as this extremely good cast battles to have control. This time one side came out on top, but who knows what will happen next with **MR. PINK** joining back. The game is *just* starting, and I'm very doubtful we have seen the last of any of these players, so tune in next cycle to look at the aftermath, and how fractured this merge tribe actually is!

**EPISODE 12 - "Fuck off piggy this could be my last hoorah" - TONY**

Following what was one of the most insane tribals we've had in VideORGs' history, the players were given a 24-hour period where no DMs were allowed, so they could collect themselves and come back stronger than ever. A lot of feelings were hurt last cycle and emotions were running high, but the show must go on after all... And what's a better challenge to follow a crazy tribal like that than the Survivor classic and VideORGs' old friend, Touchy Subjects! Despite the fact that last tribal was very unpredictable, the touchy subjects results were, for the most part, the opposite, with **JENNY** and **PARKER** being the majority answers for most of the good questions in regards to control of the game, while **TONY** and **REIWA** were the answers for most of the negative ones. As for the actual scores, they were all over the place, but there was one person who completely killed the challenge and proved they had their finger on the pulse of the game, this person being **DAN**, who got an incredible 15 out of 20 questions right, and won immunity and the chance to send someone to the recharge bay, and in what seemed to be an easy decision for him, **BROCK** was sent to the recharge bay. With **BROCK** gone, the sides left from last vote were equal in numbers, but the fact is, for the game not to become two sides going at each others' throats, there must be sacrifices, and this sacrifice was quickly decided to be **TONY**. There was not much strategizing around this vote, with most people falling on **TONY** due to him narrowly escaping his demise last vote anyways, and even the person who had saved him last time, **PARKER**, thinking the best move was to let him go. It was the calm after the storm, and with **TONY** also refusing to try and make some waves to save himself, he ended up being voted out unanimously, with **MR. PINK** casting a No Vote, and **GINGE** receiving the minority vote.

Will this be the start of a more fluid game? Or is it all just a façade and people are actually tunnel visioned in terms of who they want to work with? I guess we'll find out in the next episode of **Twisted Metal**.

**EPISODE 13 - "Okay well I just woke up to a lot" - GINGE**

We're back again in **Twisted Metal**, and as we finally got to the top 10, we start to see people setting their priorities straight and leaving the survival mentality from early merge behind, to focus on how to move forward in a power position. With **TONY**'s departure, power dynamics seemed finally somewhat straightforward in the merge tribe, but obviously, we all know predictability and VideORGs don't mix well together, and that's why it was time for **SPLIT TRIBALS!** The 10 All Stars remaining would be separated in 2 "tribes" of 5, with two separate immunity necklaces to be claimed. In Tribe 1, we had **AIDAN/DAN/JENNY/MARS/MR. PINK** While Tribe 2 was formed by **BROCK/GINGE/PARKER/REIWA/SHAW** Right off the bat, it seemed like there were two pretty clear targets on both tribes, them being **BROCK** in tribe 2, and **DAN** in tribe 1. The immunity challenge was announced, and it was time to bring back the feared puzzle gauntlet, which has proven to be the demise of many players in the past. Funnily enough, and because survivor likes to laugh at our faces, both targets won immunity, shifting the targets to other people. In Tribe 1, it was a pretty straightforward vote, as **MR. PINK** was decided to keep **MARS**, and it wasn't difficult to convince **JENNY** to pivot from **DAN** to **AIDAN**, as the two had grown apart the past few votes. In Tribe 2, it was a little trickier, as **SHAW**, pretty much the swing vote here, was trying to decide whether it was worth it to take a shot at **PARKER**, the perceived biggest threat at the moment, or taking a smaller threat in **REIWA** would work best for him. **MR. PINK** played his car power on **PARKER** all the way from Tribe 1, so **PARKER** decided to stall his vote as long as possible to prove **SHAW** was being truthful when he said he was more than likely voting **REIWA**.

Ultimately, both tribals ended up being simple, as both targets, **AIDAN** and **REIWA**, were told they were going before reading the votes, and even those reluctant to vote for them did so, ending with two unanimous tribals, with **MARS** and **PARKER** receiving minority votes. With **AIDAN** and **REIWA** gone, Season 5: Board Party, is officially eliminated, and we find ourselves in the Final 8!

Who is going to take the crown? Contenders are looking clear, but there's lots of game to be played, and a lot can change. Make sure to tune in for future episodes to see how the rest of the game develops!

**EPISODE 14 - "It’s mostly just me sucking up to Morgs and Pink still causing trouble" - DAN**

Back again in VideORGs, the episode started with unfortunate news, and with **REIWA** sadly deciding that the best for her would be not serving in the jury, after the rough time she had this season. She was removed from her jury duties, and the jury would now be max 7 people, as **TOBI** had also been removed from his jury duties. In terms of the game, the Final 8 immunity challenge would be a series' favorite, **Shazam**! The players faced off live, with exception of **MARS** due to work commitments, and tried to guess the songs that were being played. In a three-horse-ish race, where **BROCK**, **DAN**, and **JENNY** all put valiant efforts, **JENNY** came out on top, winning immunity and the chance to send someone to recharge bay. Her decision here though, was one that puzzled most, because she decided to send **MARS**, as per **SHAW** and **MR. PINK**'s suggestion. **SHAW** knew he had a goal come tribal, and that was pushing for a **PARKER** boot, he successfully convinced **DAN** and **GINGE** to go down this path, but the most crucial number, **MR. PINK** did not feel like it was time go after **PARKER** yet, and instead started pushing for an easier **BROCK** boot, knowing that with him gone, everyone left in the game would have a working relationship with him. **JENNY/MR. PINK/PARKER** all had a VC, where they discussed pros and cos of every vote, as **BROCK** and **PARKER** were pushing for a **DAN** boot, but it turned quickly into **MR. PINK** trying to convince them both to vote out **BROCK**, which **PARKER** was suspicious was not the best move for either him or **JENNY**, but **JENNY**'s trust in **MR. PINK** ultimately made her agree to voting **BROCK**. Meanwhile, at the recharge bay, **MARS** risked her vote and... won! She won a skip idol advantage, which essentially negates half the votes cast against her in any tribal council she plays it at.

Back at tribal, **BROCK** was starting to feel uneasy, and his fears were confirmed when **GINGE** was the first to tell him it was likely the vote would fall on him. **PARKER** and **JENNY** followed suit, too. Thinking this wasn't the best move for either of them, and seeing as all 3 of them leaked it to him, he made his best efforts to gather them together to vote someone out, but unfortunately for him, it was met with zero traction, especially when he started suggesting **SHAW** as a vote option. The remainder of tribal was not that eventful, as this felt like it was the first tribal council in the entire season that didn't go to the deadline. **BROCK** was voted out 6-2, with **PARKER** voting **DAN** out of respect towards **BROCK**, and **BROCK** casting his vote for **SHAW**, at the same time he called him out in tribal.

We're now at F7, some would call it the start of the endgame, and a new advantage has been put into the game, stay tuned for the final stretch of the season, which promises to be exciting!

**EPISODE 15 - "And people spee dollripapsdp" - JENNY**

Following **BROCK**'s emotional exit at last tribal, we found ourselves at F7, and tensions higher than ever! For their immunity challenge, our All-Stars were faced with a **Chain Reaction** challenge, where they had to connect 7 words successfully. This challenge, easy in concept, proved to be quite the challenge for our All-Stars, as four of them took a DNF, with only **DAN, MARS**, and **JENNY** being able to complete the channel, the first two in more than half an hour, however, **JENNY** completed it in around 7 minutes, blowing everyone out of the water and winning her second straight immunity challenge! With **DAN** as the agreed on as the target pre-challenge by the people in control, i.e. **MR. PINK/JENNY/PARKER**, **JENNY** planned on sending **GINGE** to recharge bay, despite him almost begging her not to. In the end, she did send **GINGE**, as she thought (correctly) that he wouldn't risk his vote for F6, and with the goal to weaken **DAN**'s "side" to finally take him out. However, **MARS**, who was needed to get numbers, wanted **SHAW** out badly, and with him having pushed hard for **BROCK** and continuing to push for **PARKER** along with **DAN** this cycle, suddenly it didn't seem like a bad option for the power trio to go with, although they still preferred **DAN** to go. After sleeping on it, they figured going **SHAW** would be the best option, as it would also keep **GINGE** closer to them, because they believed he was closer to **SHAW** than **DAN**, and due to the fact that **SHAW** had been seen as playing the middle really hard since early merge. The vote was quick to turn into a battle of the winners, with **SHAW** and **PARKER** being at each other's throat. The winner that came out on top was **PARKER**, who had everyone but **DAN** on his side, and managed to vote out **SHAW** in a 4-2 vote.

Definitely a less intense tribal than previous opportunities, is this a sign lines are way too deep in the sand to be redrawn? We will see in the *last* episode, because yes, we're OFFICIALLY entering the Finale episode of **VIDEORGS: TWISTED METAL ALL STARS!**

**FINALE - “I am rethinking EVERYTHING” - MARS**

...and we are finally here for the finale of an exhilarating season of Survivor and the biggest season of VideORGs thus far! After **SHAW**'s elimination at F7, our racers knew they had to start securing their spot at the end whatever it took. With **JENNY** winning her third consecutive immunity in the Blind Maze, the heat fell on **PARKER** and **DAN**, who had been frenemies for a good portion of the season, only to finally fight it out to see who stayed this vote. The vote was looking to be a 3-3 tie, with the possibility of rocks weirdly very present! **DAN/GINGE/MARS** were ready to finally vote **PARKER**, while **PARKER** and **JENNY** tried to get the vote **DAN**, with **MR. PINK** yet again as the swing vote, finding himself in a very tough spot. After a long time of thinking every possible scenario and trying to figure out what path was best to take, he decided to vote off **PARKER**, not before letting **JENNY** know beforehand so she wasn't blindsided, even though she decided not to vote **PARKER**. That way, the last winner standing, **PARKER**, was eliminated in a 4-2 vote. Approaching F5, the challenge, the Graveyard Gauntlet, was a must-win for **JENNY**, as she was seen as the largest threat still, despite **MR. PINK** wanting to take her as far as he could, even tip-toeing with the idea of giving immunity away to her in case he managed to win the immunity challenge. Thankfully (?) for him, he didn't need to make the tough call, as **DAN** ended **JENNY**'s immunity streak, winning the gauntlet with a stellar performance on most challenges. Now at tribal, it was looking like **JENNY** was DOA, but that didn't mean she stopped fighting! On the contrary, she pushed, and pushed, because she felt as if there was a crack somewhere, and she was right! Both **DAN** and **MR. PINK** expressed interest in keeping her, to have a shield going to F4.

Sadly, communication failed for both of them, as they didn't think *the other* would be open to the idea of keeping **JENNY** around one more vote and flipping it to **GINGE**, and **JENNY** paid because of it. There was a glimmer of hope still when **GINGE** cast a vote for **MR. PINK** in case of an idol play, but again, communication was never there, and **JENNY** was voted out at 5th, just like in her first season, but this time in a 3-1-1 vote. Moving into F4, it was revealed that the racers were about to face the Final Immunity Challenge of the season! A four-part challenge that really proved their versatility at several challenges. **MARS** won the first stage pretty comfortably, earning herself a spot in Stage 3 right away. Meanwhile, **DAN, GINGE** and **MR. PINK** faced off in Stage 2, a word game. **DAN** won his spot in Stage 3 with 20 guesses, while **GINGE** and **MR. PINK** tied with 23 guesses, which meant it came down to time, with **GINGE** doing the challenge 10 minutes faster, meaning **MR. PINK** was the first players eliminated from the FIC. As for Stage 3, they were faced with a season trivia, with a *really* tight race, which came down to the literal last question after **GINGE** secured his spot in Stage 4, with **MARS** pulling out the win in the last question over **DAN**, which meant he was eliminated from the Final Immunity Challenge, and **GINGE** and **MARS** would face off in the final stage.

In the final stage, it was a straightforward challenge, Pass the Missile, which is a test of endurance. In a battle that lasted around an hour, and ended due to a mistake by **MARS**, **GINGE** won the Final Immunity Challenge, and earned a spot in the F3 of the season! At tribal, due to **MR. PINK**'s relationships and **DAN**'s status as a big threat, the vote leaned towards the latter, who became the fallen angel final juror, with a 3-1 vote, with **MR. PINK** receiving the minority vote. So we had our F3 of the season, **GINGE, MARS**, and **MR. PINK**, who now had to face the jury, filled with people they all played a part in voting out. **MR. PINK** came into FTC as the frontrunner, although a lot of people were admittedly hurt by him not being as honest as he pretended to be, while **MARS** and **GINGE**'s games were seen as less impressive, but still worthy contenders. In a *REALLY* hard-fought FTC, with very intense and passionate performances by all three of them, the vote came down to one vote, with **MARS** managing to sway some votes her way, but with **MR. PINK** still managing to pull out the win in a 4-3-0 vote. Here is the jury vote breakdown: **DAN** -> **MARS** **JENNY** -> **MR. PINK** **PARKER** -> **MR. PINK** **SHAW** -> **MR. PINK** **BROCK** -> **MARS** **AIDAN** -> **MARS** **TONY** -> **MR. PINK**

And that's it, folks! It was a pleasure writing recaps for some of these tribals, this was a really exciting season, and everyone who was a part of it should be proud of their performance. Congratulations to Mr. Pink on a great game, congratulations to Mars & Ginge for being awesome too and VERY deserving finalists, and to all the award winners.
