The first clan meeting after the merger, Mario eliminated.
When Mario's torch was extinguished, his expression did not fluctuate, and he was obviously not surprised by this result. On his way to the tribal meeting, he told me that he knew the result. This time he will go. Eventually he became the first judge on the jury.
Before leaving, he gave Austin and me a cheering gesture. And Mario's elimination allowed the three tribes to get a balance point, which means that the situation has become more unclear. If I work hard at this time, there will be a great possibility to pull either strength or wisdom to our side. But I don't want to.
I can't eliminate Dillon for the time being because that gentleman agreed. That is to say, it is impossible for me to immediately win over the Wisdom Tribe to attack the Power Tribe. Furthermore, the Wisdom Tribe has a woman like Kathy who understands the situation very well, and it is impractical to form a solid alliance with them now.
On the other hand, if you win over the power tribe to attack the wisdom tribe. Then I would easily put Rhett in danger and expose the possibility of him having a hidden idol early. And the contestants in the power tribe are a big threat in the challenge. Not to mention Dillon, who worries me the most.
Therefore, I prefer to use someone else's hand to clean the room for me, and finally organize a new alliance.
When the Tribe of Beauty is strong, everyone sees us as the enemy. But what if there are only two of us left? Then we will become free tickets. Become the sweet pastry of the power tribe and the wisdom tribe competing for each other. And after Austin left, the only ally Anna believed in the most was me, and she didn't have to believe her betrayal in a short time.
While making yourself a free ticket does come with risks, opportunities always come with risks. And I'm not going to just be a free ticket to be scrambled for, I want to perform in front of the screen. Nothing in the history of Survivor is more memorable than a brilliant mind game.
Oh of course, the shark hunt doesn't count. Maybe this accident was an experience God gave me? Or an eye-popping gift.
Well, the next person to go is Austin.
"Second personal immunity contest, start!" With Jeff's order, everyone began to act.
We were blindfolded in a huge artificial maze. And we need to collect five necklaces representing the elements of gold, wood, water, fire, and earth in the labyrinth, and take the necklaces to the center of the labyrinth. The first person to hold all the necklaces and stand in front of their name tag in the center of the maze wins.
Honestly, both me and the original Brian had a huge flaw. We are all road idiots. Adding the two doesn't make us negative or positive either. So this time, all my sustenance is on Rhett.
The sooner we can void our agreement with Dillon, the better, even if I still don't plan to join the others this time and throw Dillon out. But without the precondition that he is not allowed to vote for him, it is also good.
"Reid made the fastest progress! He has already got his first fire, and walking in the maze is like having a map in front of him! He is not confused at all about the direction... On the other side, Dillon is also chasing, he is in The water area is hovering and is about to approach the target." Jeff's explanation was loud enough that all nine of us in the maze could hear it.
I'm really a little sluggish, but I can't just stand in place and go around in circles, it seems that I give up too easily. So I just walked aimlessly groping the walls. Then I felt like I hit a wall of hot, hard meat all of a sudden.
"Oh...! Brian, who seemed to be very confused about his situation, suddenly bumped into Dillon who got the first elemental water back! It seems that even Siren can't help him in the water area on the ground. What." Jeff's commentary voice with a smile sounded at the right time, letting me know who the person in front of me was.
Even if my eyes were covered by the blindfold, no one could see, but I couldn't help but roll my eyes upwards. Then I quickly took a few steps back, trying to get within a meter of Dillon's side. Without success, his arm was caught by him.
"What a coincidence, Brian. I felt like you were in this area just now, wandering aimlessly. Are you giving up the fight for personal immunity this time?" Dillon's voice grew even louder when I was blindfolded. caught my attention. Now in the game, he still has the leisure to chat with me? Is it certain that in the current situation, no one can vote him out
"Not yet. But if you continue to hold me here and talk, the two of us will basically give up." I pulled his hand off my arm and said angrily. Dillon and I got to know each other more and more after the shark hunt.
Although I didn't like his approach, what surprised me was that I didn't subconsciously feel disgusted with his behavior. Getting that close without making me uncomfortable is something only Chris has done so far.
I allowed Chris to step into mine and let Chris get close because I thought I could completely suppress Chris and easily analyze his thoughts and hearts. But Dillon? He is the complete opposite. He should have made me subconsciously put up my whole body and refuse his approach.
Blindfolded, Dillon's usual stern expression and long pursed lips could not be seen. So instead, I could hear Dillon's helplessness and a hint of laughter in his voice.
"Reid got his third element, and now he has three necklaces of fire, earth, and gold. He only needs water and wood to complete the task. On the other hand, Dillon finally broke free from the siren. Brian's beauty plan. I thought Dillon would be like a legendary sailor, bewitched by a siren and pulled into the deep sea!" Jeff also brought some humor to the show while reporting the battle live.
Experienced to stop the host style, Jeff's words made the laughter of several people in the labyrinth obviously. It can be seen that the effect of this cold humor is still good. Jeff's claims are not without basis. After the shark hunting incident that shocked everyone, in the camp for the past two days, Dillon has been trying to talk to me anonymously and shyly, which was seen by other contestants in the tribe.
I don't know what his motives were, but I didn't want other people to think we were too close. In addition to possibly shaking the stability of the alliance he is in, such as Anna's concerns and Austin's doubts, it may also make Kathy of the Wisdom Tribe more concerned about getting rid of me as soon as possible. I don't want to get myself into trouble until I've borrowed their hands to clear the room and let Austin go.
But... the real reason, in fact, only I know best in my heart. All the concerns about the league are only superficial.
Dillon has had too much influence on my psyche. Just like the scene just now. When faced with Dillon, I speak subconsciously and blurt out without the slightest thought. Generally speaking, I will not say nonsense that is easy for the listener to have ambiguity in understanding and is not exhaustive.
Maybe he didn't do it on purpose, but just a few words from him can make my mood fluctuate significantly. It's too dangerous. Such obvious mood swings should not happen to a sociopath.
It's good to have normal feelings, but what I need is gradual treatment. Just like what Chris can do. Not a guy like Dillon who can make my brain chemical dopamine suddenly, intensely over-produce.
Yes, in these few days of contact with him, I finally found out... When I saw him for the first time, the good impression I had for him did not disappear because he discovered my little actions with Rhett. do. Instead, he was buried deeper, breaking through the siege of reason from time to time and making trouble for me.
"Dillon got his fourth element, but at this time Rhett left the water area without hesitation, and ran quickly to the center of the maze! I have to say, Spencer Red is worthy of his young age. He got three doctorates and two masters degrees. His memory is astonishingly terrifying! He has never touched the directions in the maze along the way.”
The path he has traveled is in his mind. I listened to Jeff's live broadcast, and lightly picked up the water element necklace that I managed to reach. He is very good at geographical profiling Dr. Bau, even Dillon can't be better at this challenge than him.
"Reid has obtained the personal immunity this time, and one person will be eliminated from the tribal meeting tonight!" Jeff officially announced.
I pulled down the blindfold in front of me, and the harsh sunlight made my eyes, which had adapted to the darkness, suddenly sore and unable to open, leaving physiological tears. The camera of the follow-up photographer poked right in front of me.
Reed has been granted personal immunity, and Dillon's agreement with us is void. Because we only agreed that the first time he didn't get personal immunity, he couldn't be eliminated. In return he won't tell the show team about my private contact with Rhett. Perhaps he himself did not expect that this agreement would be invalidated so quickly
... Or, did he intentionally void the agreement to lower my vigilance
Before I go to the tribal meeting tonight, I will try my best to persuade her to give up the idea of casting me out this time in front of Kathy, a woman who is so calm. Austin has to go, and I'm going to guide Casey on that without a trace.
After returning to the tribe, the beautiful tribe without Mario's leadership looks like a mess of loose sand. Or at least Austin looked like a mouse trapped in a mousetrap, anxious to find Sandra, whom he thought was the most promising.
Watching Austin drag Sandra towards the deserted shore, I gave Anna a calm look, focused my attention on Casey who was alone in the camp, and said Analyze the situation with her.
"Ana, you don't have to worry. In any case, it's not you who will be out tonight. It's just me and Austin that are in danger." I said to her in a voice that only Anna and I could hear. Sting won't push you out as a shield, and neither will I. I'm confident that even if Sandra gets persuaded, Dillon won't agree to throw me out."
In fact, between me and Dillon, apart from agreeing that I won't vote him out the first time he doesn't get personal immunity, he has no obligation to keep me in the game. But I'm betting that he wouldn't vote for me even if I didn't get him to formally promise not to vote for me.
Dillon, though not as rigid and upright as he appears to be, is a soldier. But even if he had the city government in his chest, he would prefer the manipulative strategy of Yang Mo, rather than the insidious cunning of stabbing people in the back.
And yesterday and today, Dillon has been trying to talk to me, and everyone in the tribe is watching. It was Dillon's hotness, but it was enough to confuse Anna into thinking I was sure I was going to stay in the game. Seeing that I have more confidence than Austin, but not enough to ditch her existing ally in favor of Dillon.
"As long as you don't help Austin behind your back tonight, it's enough. I don't need another surrender from you, I just hope that our previous alliance agreement will still work." I finally said to Anna who repeatedly agreed, then turned around Walk towards Casey who is sitting not far away.
After the bushes, there was nothing but the chirping of insects and birds. Kathy stood in front of me with her arms crossed and her arms crossed on an impatient face, as if expressing 'see what you can say boy, you can't change my mind anyway'. She didn't even try to hide her emotions from me at all, putting a stinky face in front of the camera.
If it was someone else, like Austin, they would have given up the idea of talking to her. But I won't, I can't be agitated by such a small aggression like her.
"Cathy, I think we didn't talk much after the merger." I smiled unaffectedly, and acting on the scene has always been my specialty. "I want to talk to you about the alliance between your tribe of wisdom and tribe of power."
Kathy was still stinking, but her eyes twitched slightly. It showed her surprise at my performance and my first words. Maybe she was expecting me to question her why she would have such a problem with me? No, I'm not that stupid.
When lawyers argue in court, what they hope most is to let their opponents fall into their logic. As long as they follow their rhythm, the win rate is almost 100%. If you don't come up with something they don't expect, there's going to be a deadlock in court.
"Oh? I think Brian, you should be from the Beauty Tribe. What does our alliance have to do with you?" Casey said.
In order to seize the initiative in the conversation, she gave me a trick again. She opened her mouth and classified me into the Beauty Tribe. If I accidentally followed her thinking and opened my mouth and closed my mouth to the Beauty Tribe, then my idea of taking myself out and letting Austin out at first would not be so good. Opened up.
"Knowing that it's a merger phase, what's the difference between a tribe and a tribe? I think you'll be more self-interested." I diverted from her topic and brought the conversation back to my own.
"You're a smart man, Casey, who doesn't speak secretly. I know what benefits you will bring to you by forming an alliance with the Power Tribe. The characters of Sandra and Dillon are destined that they will not take the initiative to betray your alliance. But have you thought about one of the most obvious disadvantages?"
"Interesting, bad? What's the harm? Our alliance is stable and we're kicking you out of the game one by one. It's been great for us." Casey apparently didn't take my word for it.
"The most obvious disadvantage is that they are the power tribe." I raised my eyebrows and said bluntly: "In the personal immunity competition, the advantages of physical strength and strength will give them more wins than your wisdom tribe. Possibly. And Selena doesn't seem like a worry-free Alliance member like Red."
"If you throw me out now, Anna and Austin will be out too. What's next? You and Dillon are going to be three-on-three again. Maybe you'll want to get Jane, because Jane It's the only unsettling factor in the power tribe. But if Dillon and Sandra sing all the way in the next game, they get personal immunity. Are you sure that Selena will not betray?"
"It's Rhett who won the personal immunity today! You want to use the argument that they are a threat to the game to make me change my mind about forming an alliance with them and turn to your beautiful tribe? This is too whimsical!" Casey Showing complete disapproval, "And you should also know the reason why I insist on casting you out first, beautiful smart person, you are too easy to win over others."
"Today was an accident, you know. Personal immunity is most likely to appear in the endurance-based competition. Are you sure that Rhett or you can beat Dillon and Sandra?" My tone fluctuated. Unchanged, the speed of speech also remained stable, and she was analyzing with her in a clear and organized manner.
Casey's face became a little ugly, and she obviously knew the way Survivors liked to play late in the game. Although the endurance competition is all about willpower in the end, the power tribes with better physique still have a much larger advantage than them.
Their stamina can guarantee that they will use their willpower to move back in time, and maybe after Casey's willpower reaches the limit, their stamina is not even used up. When Dillon or Sandra went on to win personal immunity, the initiative for tribal rights was in their hands.
Selena seems to be such a thoughtful person, it is impossible that she has not made small moves recently. As long as Selena has people close to the power tribe and tries to deepen the bond, Kathy will definitely have the fear of betrayal I said.
"I don't mean to turn you into an alliance with us, but I have a suggestion. You should leave yourself a back-up." Seeing Kathy's expression loosened, I began to try to express my purpose. "I won't try to maintain the three-person advantage of the Beauty Tribe to convince you. But as long as one more member of the original Beauty Tribe is removed tonight, we will become the weakest among the three."
"Vulnerable, or free tickets. Free tickets that are more useful than Jane. You choose to form an alliance with the remaining two of us. First of all, we will not have Dillon's physical advantage, nor Jane's hesitation, nor You won't be left unusable after Selena's betrayal."
Kathy finally looked at me with a different expression. She nodded with satisfaction and said, "You're right, but why should I keep you? Wouldn't Anna and Austin be a better choice?"
"You know, they don't seem as savvy as you. The analytical ability you showed in front of me will make me very worried in the later stage. You are a tougher character than I thought." She looked When I came out, I was moved by my suggestion, but still had some doubts.
"You want to get rid of me first because I'm the smartest looking one in the beauty tribe?" I made a funny look and used the tone of speaking to a friend to let her relax her guard against me.
"Austin and Anna's performance on weekdays, don't you think they are like a young couple? Leaving the two of them together is equivalent to having a pair in a hand. And the pair is in this game. I don't have two good loose cards in my arms." I shrugged and deliberately weakened the negotiating stance I had shown before, letting her relax and fall into my mind.
"The number of two people who are bound together can be more than you alone, and they may backlash at any time. The two people who can be separated form an alliance with you, then you will become the center point."
This sentence finally loosened Kathy's frown. She fell into my thinking trap, ignoring the reason why Anna and I still had a stronger bond than her. Even if Anna and Austin are really a couple, breaking them up does help her take center stage in the alliance. But both Anna and I are still from the original beauty tribe.
What's more, Anna and I have a stronger bond than the so-called couple relationship. The benefits of forming a hidden alliance in advance are reflected here.
"Okay, so what exactly do you want?" Kathy let out a sigh of relief, changing from an attitude towards the enemy to a tone of negotiation. "Tell me about your plan."
"Kick Austin tonight and I'll make an alliance with you. Then you can get Ana and we'll turn on the Horde of Power. Kick Dillon and Sandra one by one. It's going to be a mess after that. You can choose to continue our alliance and get rid of the unstable Jane and Selena." I made a look that I thought about her completely.
…
After a moment of silence, Casey finally responded, "Okay, I'll trust you this time."
"Then you have to hurry to convince your current ally Dillon and the others. Before I came, I saw Austin with Dillon, and they went to the beach to talk. They may kick you out of the game." I blinked, and finally cast another weight, completely eliminating the possibility that she might go back on it later.
After a negotiation is over, it's not really over. If you want the other party not to want to appeal for a comeback, you can only give her a bigger problem, so that she has no time to look back and worry about other things in a short period of time.
At the second Tribal Conference after the merger, Austin was eliminated as scheduled.
I laughed as Dillon looked at me with a scrutiny and Casey's pressure. The bonfire we sat around at the tribal meeting was so warm that it dazzled people's eyes.
Whether or not Kathy regrets her decision after tonight's tribal meeting is none of my business. I borrowed her hand and cleaned the room. And the next person to be fired is the cleaning servant. When the house is clean enough, it is not a good thing to leave a servant with too many thoughts in his mind.
I'm not going to follow the so-called 'plan' I told her before the tribal meeting tonight, it's just a smoke bomb. Casey is a smart guy, and if you go back tonight and think about it, you can see that the situation is not as simple as I said. At the tribal meeting, Anna didn't make a strong statement about Austin's departure, which was a big flaw.
It's time to tap into my relationship with Rhett, because for the next horde meeting, I'll need the Hidden Immunity Idol that Rhett found. After Kathy found out that I had deceived her, she would only be extremely angry, and would do everything she could, even if it was to confess the deception I had done to her, to ensure that the Tribe of Power was willing to cast me out.
And Red and I are going to perform a secret alliance trick in front of the camera crew. Just like what I did with Ana before, only this time Rhett and I were just acting.
I will show in front of the camera that I have tried my best to convince Rhett to secretly form an alliance with me, and to get his hidden immunity statue in good faith. Acting has never been difficult for me, as long as Rhett follows my lead.
And then at the next tribal meeting, Ana Reid and I will vote for Casey. Casey wooed other people to vote for me. But I would surprise her and use the Hidden Immunity Idol before counting the votes. Then the vote for me will be automatically ignored, and Casey will be eliminated as the second most voted person!
