Stranded in Turks & Caicos

Sorry for the delay here, work emergency.

Let's start off by a bit of reflection, always nice to remember how you got here to help prepare for the future. Bound to repeat the same mistakes if you cant remember history and all that...

What have you learned about your game from Stranded that you can implement going forward?

What is your plan to WIN the game, not just make it to the end, but WIN. Is it a move, a combination of finalists you plan to go with, a pitch to the jury... what?

Explore all of your options here, even if they seem crazy/ like poor game moves. It can help to brainstorm all the possibilities and think of pros and cons for them.

Good luck! Proud of you for making final freaking 6!!!

Let's start off by a bit of reflection, always nice to remember how you got here to help prepare for the future. Bound to repeat the same mistakes if you cant remember history and all that...


I started off a a cocky fuck who came into this not knowing what to expect. It's been a long time since I was a part of the Stranded community, I missed a lot. All I knew is that I was not coming back to play ever again unless I was going to win. So I told myself this time, it's time to claim my crown. I started in Refuge with Caryn who I knew from hosting my previous seasons, and Joaq and Dale who I'd played with. The rest were new faces to me. I quickly worked myself into the right situation with Joaq dale and Caryn, the fuckboys started Refuge off running shit. We added Ryan and Chrissy, but that would soon change. They all wanted Alecia Nick and Ryan out. I was cool getting Aleica out, but Felt like Nick and Ryan would be stronger assets and shields for when we go into the game. They didn't want to, Nick left, and I walked away from refuge feeling like I was in a bad spot. I got into an even WORSE spot being on Taino with only Ryan and a bunch of new players. We were fucked. Luckily we knocked an inactive out but I knew my time was short. I made good connections with zeke Adam Lucy and Hannah, Gary somewhat but he was ready to boot me. I knew I was next to go though, so I claimed immunity putting a huge target on my back. Perfect play, we somehow convinced them to boot Will, and then we swap again. But I get a dream swap and I have Caryn Chrissy and Joaq along with Lucy who I was closest with on Lucayan. Danni and I instantly became close, and i wanted Brian out. He wanted me out. Eventually? I won. We had the mega fuckin tribal and I sent my vote in for Brian like I had in rounds past. I wanted the guy out he had researched every past player supposedly that returned this season, he was a sneaky mother fucker and he needed to go. But it tied adam and Ryan. I quickly found I way to target Adam to get votes onto him, but we went to rocks. But maybe the survivor gods showed me this was my time, because Brian went home! I was super pleased and felt like i finally could start grabbing this season by the nutsack. As I did for a couple of rounds. We iced Gary. Ryan left because he didnt have the idol like he told me. But then shit went sideways. I lost Joaq and was blindsided by both sides. I needed to reset my game. Which I did. I solidified bonds with the Dale boot and set the stage for me to take over the game. i single handedly wanted Caryn out because of how well she was playing, and because we had very little working relationship. Everyone else wanted Danni or Chrissy out. But I was able to leverage my way because I was the swing vote. So we get Caryn out and it sends showckwaves through the camp. Chrissy Lydia and Danni are mad, Zeke and Adam are overjoyed with how they finally made a Big Move!tmCBS
Lucy was torn up about it but it solidified Lucy as being with me for the long haul. i was able to make amends with chrissy Lydia and danni, but I knew that I had to double down. They wanted Danni out again, and the girls were set on a Lucy blindside. Until Lydia told Lucy which was so stupid. I told Lucy too but I barely even had to rationalize shit because of Lydia. She voted for Danni and told Danni. I used that as leverage to get Danni to play her idol because I told her I was "85% worried she would be going home". Which wasn't a huge lie the numbers wanted her gone. But I warned Adam Zeke and Lucy of her idol play, and said we needed to switch out votes onto Chrissy now to avoid it. This way I kept my 2 allies Danni and Lucy, Chrissy leaves and even though Chrissy was an ally she was impeding my ability to win. I'm now in a spot where I'm the only one who hasn't voted for Danni. Lydia feels like she has to conform or do something or else she wont win. Lucy is loyal to me, I just need to figure out for how long. Zeke and Adam are complacent thinking It's me them and Lucy to F4. I've had a very fucking tough road to get here but I'm in a really great spot and I'm about to prove everything I've been saying all season right. I'm winning this game. And nobody is going to get in my way.



What have you learned about your game from Stranded that you can implement going forward?


I can pivot very well. And I have amazing self awareness, and adaptability. Those are 3 incredibly important skills for a strong survivor player to have.



What is your plan to WIN the game, not just make it to the end, but WIN. Is it a move, a combination of finalists you plan to go with, a pitch to the jury... what?


My resume will speak for itself.
4 Individual Immunities so far
Survived being swap fucked
Made it out of Refuge and survived becoming the last Veteran left in a heavy majority newbie cast
Pulled off huge Caryn and Chrissy blindsides which were entirely of my doing
Went from the only person out of the loop for the joaq boot to running the game and making it to the end
Playing a strong enough social game not to be universally hated for any rational reason
Potentially pulling off a fake idol play here if this round goes right

Either Danni Lydia Zeke or Adam goes.

Danni goes: Me Lydia Lucy team up hopefully and break up Adam and Zeke. I hit F4 with a pretty okay shot at making F3. I think I win in any F3 there.

Lydia goes. Danni is a huge threat but we could boot her at 4 so that we go to F3 with me Lucy and Adam. If Danni makes F3 with me I think it's very close.

Zeke goes: Me Adam and Lucy and potentially Lydia take out Danni at 5. I have a good chance at winning final immunity.

Adam goes: Zeke Lucy and I take out Danni, but I think I have a bit of a harder F4 here.


All in all, I think Zeke going is the best strategy. The immunity challenge is crucial though. If the wrong person wins I might need to get crafty. One way or another I'm not getting voted out of this game. I've come so far, 3 more steps and I will achieve my goal. Lets fucking do this. Adam put it perfectly, this will be my Tyson season.

Congratulations! You have found the Refuge Reset Idol!

Normally, playing an idol cancels all votes that have been cast against the person it is played on. The person with the next most votes is then voted off. However, this is not a normal idol. The Refuge Reset Idol may only be played if a certain criteria is met. The holder must pick one Returning Player, and one New Player to play this idol on. You may choose to use this idol for yourself, and one other New Player. Or you may choose a New Player and a Returning Player other than yourself to play the idol on. The idol is NON-TRANSFERABLE, which means you may not give this idol to another player to use. In order to play the idol, you must post the image of the idol during the 5 minute window after voting is due during Tribal Council. During that period you can specify who you would like to play the idol on by posting the image and saying you wish to play the idol on ___ and ___.

The idol is good up to and through the final 6. In the event that there are no longer any New Players before/during the final 6, the idol becomes void and can no longer be played.

Well guys, I have no reason to hide this any longer.
Let's clear up some of the speculation, I'm going to be using the idol I found on Refuge tonight, since this is the last night I can do so. I don't think I'm headed home but id rather be safe than walk outta here with nothing but a .jpg as a souvenir.

I don't really like the direction this vote is headed in, so why don't we put it all out on the table here. Danni and I are safe tonight. Read the rules if you'd like.
