### Bottom Row

Aria, Jake, Dawn

*With the powerful Sun Wukong threatening to upset the balance of the heavens, 18 mortals were gathered in the mountains of China to fight to prove themselves worthy of joining the ranks of heavenly warriors battling the Monkey King.*

*The season got off to a slow start, as the first cycle saw both **ZACH** from the Buzhou tribe and **TRAVYS** from Jade quit the game, the former for being inactive and the latter for personal reasons despite a strong start. Kunlun was the only tribe without a quit, however they also proved to be terrible in challenge, going to tribal both of the next two cycles. The first time saw **JAMES** go for being the least connected, while at the second **ANDREW** went despite being allied with both **CECE** and **JORDY**, as those two were also in an alliance with **DAWN** and **GUMBALL** and wanted to keep the tribe united.*

*This season had the twist of the Yin-Yang Shuffle, which each cycle gave a random player the option to cause a swap the next cycle. At F15 **MARCO** received this choice and chose to cause a swap at F14, due to not liking the Buzhou tribe as they were by far the least active overall. Right after the swap **DAN** quit the game, putting White Tiger down a member, but then Black Tortoise lost a player at each of the next two tribals. First, **GUMBALL** went out after overplaying his hand at F13 while trying to target **SICKLE**. Then, the mortals faced Greed, which no one took, causing a joint tribal. With **SICKLE’S** time zone making him offline for the first chunk of the joint tribal, he was targeted for not being there and eventually everyone settled on him as an easy vote.*

*The merge followed, and the swap tribe lines turned out to be extremely strong. The Black Tortoise five targeted **ALLEN** for being OTT, and thought they had **CECE**, **CAMPBELL** and **ARIA** on their side, however those three stuck with the White Tiger six (while forming a core alliance of four with **JAKE**) and voted out **JORDY** 6-5. The following cycle **ORANGE** used a Vote Steal to try and even the numbers and potentially force rocks, however after a brief panic the White Tiger six realized they could just pile votes on **ORANGE**, make a 5-5 tie then vote him out 4-3 on the revote, which they did.*

*It was at this point that the first White Tiger member went, as **ALLEN** with **BRODIE’S** help tried to organize a blindside against **CECE**. However, the other White Tiger members turned this around, not trusting **ALLEN** at all and **CECE**, **ARIA** and **JAKE** brought in **DAWN**, **BEN** and **MARCO** (who were happy to be on the right side of any vote) to vote for **ALLEN**. They thus blindsided him successfully, with **CAMPBELL** purposefully voting for **CECE** in the minority as part of the plan to hide how close he was with her, **ARIA** and **JAKE**.*

*After that, the White Tigers returned to picking off Black Tortoise members, though **BRODIE** was on the outside of the group and continued to target **CECE**. Despite him gathering **DAWN**, **BEN** and **MARCO** to vote for her at F8, she played an idol on herself, eliminating **MARCO**. Then, **BEN** was voted out unanimously, with both **BRODIE** and **DAWN** looking to latch onto new allies with the majority set to crumble.*

*It was at F6 that the group of four that had run the entire merge fully targeted each other, with the duo of **ARIA** and **JAKE** targeting **CECE** and the duo of **CECE** and **CAMPBELL** targeting **ARIA**. The battle of who could bring **BRODIE** and **DAWN** to their side was won by the latter pair, and **ARIA** was eliminated.*

*Afterwards, **BRODIE** and **DAWN** came together with **JAKE** and agreed that the other two were a super obvious duo that needed to be broken up. After **CAMPBELL** won his third straight immunity, the aforementioned three all quickly agreed to vote for **CECE**, however **CAMPBELL** had an idol himself. Despite **CECE** being ill and not being online much at all during tribal (and eventually self-voting), **CAMPBELL** played his idol on her, eliminating **JAKE**.*

*At F4, after **CAMPBELL** won his fourth straight immunity, **DAWN** was eliminated unanimously. This was due to **BRODIE** fearing that if **CECE** went **CAMPBELL** would want to take **DAWN** to FTC over him, and also because while **CAMPBELL** saw **CECE** as the biggest FTC threat, he felt he could beat her one more time at FIC and vote her out then.*

*In the end, FIC came entirely down to **CECE** vs **CAMPBELL**, both of them planning to take the other out if they won. **BRODIE**, not worried at all for his safety, purposefully dropped out of the challenge itself and waited to see who would take him to the end. Surprisingly, it was **CECE** who pulled out the win, and she indeed voted out her biggest competitor in **CAMPBELL**. At FTC, while the jury was impressed with **BRODIE’S** speech and questioning performance given his perception going in, **CECE’S** stellar social and strategic gameplay earned her the win in a 7-2 vote.*
