Episode 4 - iSurv1vor の力！"The power of iSurv1vor"

[Jared Merrell]

Episode 4 time, here we go!

[kirin]

Currently on call with nuKoji, and Kelman is complaining about being last in the MVP rankings.

"I don't have any one strong supporter in alumni."
"I'm not playing this game for the alumni."
"I don't know how I got worse than Vartevar."

Boohoo.

[Ju1ce]

He's a douchebag thats why!


Also, Sassy messaged me on skype tonight. I'm pretty much in heaven.

Christopher

I just never have in games. Like, I am use to just writing confessionals and I think I am just use to it. To talk about a game out loud in itself...it is like jerking off in front of people. It just doesn't happen. It's just awks. I may have to try it though.

I know exactly what he means. There's really no need for it. If you've been playing as long as he has,(I'm the same way) you should be used to showing personality through text. It's not that hard. Chris is growing on me for sure.

[Deleted]

Agreed, Chris (or Miley if you're an idiot) shows a lot of potential.

I hope some short sighted Saaki and Chikara members get pwned in the coming rounds. A lot of them are SO set on working with one another JUST because of that stupid Katana Challenge.

Robbie seems like the only person from either tribe who is ready and willing to say FUCK THAT MESS.
GO ROBBIE GO!

[Joe]

I want Robbie to lead this charge. I think it can work however it would definitely put him in a tight spot as a large target.

Also his confessional is hilarious. He seems like Colton a little haha but definitely more tolerable

[alex]

I have such a hard time following Daniel's confessionals, I normally just skim through it. Can someone start telling me where his head is at so I can avoid it all together?
I am also happy it looks like Kelman may be going home.

P.S. Vartevar's confessional has Jamie's blacked out picture instead of his own.

I agree with this, but I feel like the main reason Robbie is okay with going against the Katana Challenge Group is because he's on a tribe with Sassy. If he weren't with Sassy, I feel like he'd be much more likely to have the same mentality as everyone else to stick with the groups formed from the Katana Challenge.

I feel like his new tribe is mainly the Sassy show, though. She can go with Robbie/Tyler because of her previous relationships with them through Tengaged or she can stick with her Sami/Craig/Jeffrey foursome. Either way, I think Daniel, Dodds, and Aaron may be in a hot spot for the time being, and it's largely to do with their relationship (or lack thereof) with Sassy. It's odd, because Dodds is the one who started the pickings for this tribe and I see him as being on the outs.

As for the other tribe… It's definitely a bit more interesting, but I see Debbie, Billy, and Kelman on the outs unfortunately. It's kind of a 3v3v3 option, with Chris/Cody/Eric vs. Nicole/Ginny/Dylan vs. Billy/Debbie/Kelman, but I see the first two groups sticking together because of the Katana challenge, even though depending on what happens on the other tribe, it may be wise of the Chikara group (Chris/Cody/Eric) to start picking off Saaki. They haven't lost a single member yet! Unfortunately, I think Eric is pretty much certain to work with Ginny, so that gives Saaki's group 4/9 already, so I think both sides of this tribe are ultimately going to be at the mercy of Chris & Cody.

Interesting tribe swap for sure, though! I'm so excited.

CODY'S NEW CONFESSIONAL!!!!!

I think we spoke too soon!!!^ Cody is totally open for jumping ship from working with Saaki, and he is STRONGLY considering the idea of working with Koji and Yuubu to take down Saaki. He wants to talk to Chris to make it happen. I'm glad he is definitely taking into account that if they keep working with Saaki they will get picked off. Saaki abused their trust toward the end of the Katana challenge anyway, and I'm very impressed with this news -- the only way I could see this backfiring is if Sami/Sassy's group get majority on the other tribe, and if Sami/Sassy/Craig/Billy/Debbie/Kelman all make merge and get into a majority position. Either way, it's a very tough situation for the Chikara men.

I'm just glad to see Chikara doesn't seem set on working with the Katana Challenge groups. This is setting up for a very interesting and dynamic tribe swap and end-game. SO excited! I see Chikara becoming the "tribe to beat" in the coming rounds.

And even if this happens, I feel this group is more penetrable than the Saaki group, actually. (and Jeffrey is in on that, whoops)

[Sandy]

Cody and Robbie are goddesses and I'm so happy Kirin made sure they made this game! They're pulling the old 'divide and conquer' routine. It could seriously work out perfectly. These two are the ones to beat right now folks!!!

[Joe]

I think that they can pull this off. Whether or not they make it long term is to be seen. Cody expressed early about how far along he can trust Robbie I think so that may weigh on his mind.

I wish I could LOVE this post! I love them both so much and they continue to impress me. Cody last played in 2008 and Robbie in 2009- coming back to a new generation of iSurv1vor after so many years has got to be tough, but they have both adapted quickly like they never even took a break! I think it's absolutely amazing. Both of them are giving 150% into this game with their entire mind and heart and I love it, you can just see their passion for this game in their videos. I seriously love both of them SO much and I too am so happy they were cast this season!!!

[Sandy]

Look at Tyler working the game this round. He's impressive! He's like silent, and sorta in the background... but so deadly.
