## Survivor

### *Norway*

Day 7, joins Fenrir Six alliance with Day, Justin, Lailma, Nicole and Rodney. Day 11, the Fenrir Six, led by Lailma, send Ashley home. Day 13, bonds slightly with Justin and wants to separate him from Day, so he affiliates with George, Lailma and Nicole to take a shot at Day. Day 14, the plan works perfectly and Day is sent home, 5-3. Day 15, Frits leads his Affiliates alliance to vote out the only person he's not aligned with, Mat, and he agreed with his allies to split the vote on George.

Day 18, Frits is caught between alliances, he goes with the original alliance and cuts his Affiliate, George, in a 5-1 vote. Day 20, Frits finds himself on a 3-person tribe after Justin and Nicole mutiny to Aegir, which ended the original Fenrir Five alliance.

Day 36, the vote is a 3-3 tie, Frits stands firm on his vote - with no repercussions on him. Justin would flip his vote and send Tom to jury. Day 37, Frits joins Evhen and Rodney in voting out Arnel. Day 38, Frits won his 5th Individual Immunity and he shakes on taking Rodney to the Final Tribal Council and sending Evhen to jury.

Day 32, Frits finds a Hidden Immunity Idol and he joins the Sisserou Three alliance with Anthony Pellegrini and Juan Caceres. Day 33, Frits knows his Norway boys are voting for Juan, so he plays the Hidden Immunity Idol, negating 4 votes and giving the Sisserou Three the power, where they put 3 votes on Hamid Zare and send him to the jury.

Day 36, Frits targets the only person he's not directly connected with, Michel Villalobos. The vote ends 3-3, but in the revote, Rodney isn't willing to go to rocks and everyone votes out Michel.
