Previously on Survivor Luck of the Draw….Natalia and Sydney finally made their move. After gaining the loyalty of James...the three pledged go to war together. Them three strong...all voted for Slothy. Meanwhile the other three were also a tight alliance. When neither party would change their vote…..Sydney and Slothy became safe….while the other four drew rocks. In the end...Hydraesha drew the white rock...and was the 8th person eliminated from Survivor luck of the draw.
When the Kota tribe returned from tribal...Slothy/Tester were both extremely angry. They didn’t necessarily blame James...however they were upset about losing ally Hydraesha. Slothy explained that he PRAYED that the two tribes would merge. Tester agreed stating that they were clearly in a 3-2 minority at this point. As this was happening….Tester explained in a confessional
“That vote did NOT go how I wanted it to go. James was vital to us having majority on this tribe. Unfortunately...for myself and Slothy...we are now in the minority. However...I am confident that our tribes will merge….and that we will escape this position. However...I have an idol if I need to play it. HOWEVER...I really cannot tell ANYONE...Not even Slothy about it. Despite the fact that I trust him...loose lips sink ships in this game. So If I can just lock it in with my old allies at merge...I can hopefully ride it out until F6/7...and THEN make my move.”
As this was happening...James/Natalia/Sydney were having a quick meeting down by the beach. The three hugged it out...explaining how excited they were that the plan had worked. The three then agreed that they were ride or die the entire way. Right after this….we got a confessional from Natalia and James.
James: “I am so pumped about how that vote went. I needed to secure my fate in this game...and that is exactly what I did. HOWEVER...I am not stupid. I know that Natalia/Sydney are big threats. So my plan is to work with them for the time being...use them to target the other alliance. Once we are down in numbers though...I think I will need to make my move. Because I will never win against those two in the finals.”
Natalia: “I am so proud of us for pulling that move off. I need to be careful moving forward though. We just met James a week ago. I find it hard to believe that he wants to go to the end with us. I also need to keep my attitude in check. I kind of winked at the others rudely last vote...and for potential jury members that could be seen as being a sore winner. Thus I need to make sure I think before I act”.
*EVERYONE HEADS TO IMMUNITY CHALLENGE*

*TRIBES HEAD BACK TO CAMP*
When the Fang tribe returns to camp, immediately….Patrick/Sydney/Natalia agree that since being the only three returnees left...That they HAVE to look out for one another. Patrick and Natalia discuss how last game they weren’t totally loyal. We then get a confessional from each of them.
Patrick: “Last season me and Natalia didn’t have the best relationship. However..this game is totally different. We both need each other to survive, and I am with her 100000%.”
Natalia: “Last time I played I was very flip floppy. I played a crazy game. This time around...being targeted so often I have had to adapt very quickly. Thus I have had to stay loyal to the same people all season. For this season...I need to lock it in with my returnees and stick with them.”
As they are discussing this...the three returnees suggest who might consider working with them. Patrick mentions that Anthony and him were close...and he was close with Blair too. He says...HOWEVER I don’t know. Natalia/Sydney both confirm that James voted with them...and is down to play it with them until the end. Next thing is Sydney says….”the three of us HAVE to find the idol”. Without that...we will be screwed. Because assuming we merge at 9...We won’t have numbers most likely. The three agree...and the idol hunting begins..
*HOURS LATER*
Sydney approaches a rock...finding a weird compartment within it. Sydney reaches into the compartment….Pulling out an IDOL. OMG OMG OMG She screams! The others rush over...and they all hug immediately. They all agree they NEED to be quiet about this for now...and they can inform James at a later time.
As this is happening...we get a Sydney confessional
“OMG Did we need that! This game has been hard man. We have been on the bottom the ENTIRE game. I seriously was beginning to think we all might be going home soon. HOWEVER...I think with this we will hopefully be able to stick around for a while. I need to continue to go with the flow...while also guiding the direction of the game. If I can do that...I should be good in the long term.
IMMUNITY CHALLENGE: FANG WINS IMMUNITY
When the Fang tribe heads back to camp….we first see Slothy/Tester/Julissa meet back up. The three agree..they need to plan for the future. Julissa confirms to the other two that Anthony was aligned with Patrick...WHICH MEANS….He could potentially side with the returning players come merge. We first get a Julissa confessional
“These last few immunity challenge wins have allowed me to slip UTR. For now...I can continue to go with the flow. I honestly believe that Anthony will flip onto Patrick/Natalia/Sydneys team at the merge. That is dangerous for my game. I honestly am starting to worry about my threat level also...so I need to be aware of that. As of now...I believe that I have Slothy/Tester/Danny/Jadine on my side. That means...the only one who ISN’T on my side (Anthony)...has to go. However..I need to be careful that the 4 of them don’t realize that I have been pulling the strings behind almost every vote. Because if they do….they might try to blindside me.”
After this conversation...Julissa confirms that Danny has been working with her...and will hopefully vote with them. Next the three of them approach Danny, asking if he is cool with targeting Anthony. Danny agree’s, and the 4 agree to stay together.
While this is happening...Anthony is off to the side and realizes he is on the outs. The next thing he does...is approach Slothy/Tester.
Anthony explains to them…”guys Julissa has ALL the power in this game...She has to go. She has literally controlled almost EVERY single vote.” They both agree that she is a threat….and state that they will think about this scenario.
After this happens, Slothy and Tester meetup to discuss what is best for THEIR game. Slothy explains that Anthony has a valid point. Julissa has been orchestrating a lot. Tester then explains though...we do need to consider the fact that Julissa is the one with connections to both Jadine/Danny though. We don’t wanna target our only tie to them. Because we NEED them at the merge. As the tribe heads to tribal...we get a Slothy confessional
“This vote is a tough one man…..Julissa is a threat. HOWEVER...Sometimes you take out the threat too soon and it fucks up your game. I don’t necessarily want to go to F3 with her..However we need 5 strong at merge. If we keep Anthony...Anthony/Syd/Nat/Pat/James could potentially have the numbers at merge. Also...Jadine and Danny both are close with Julissa...which means she has them linked to her. If we want them loyal to us...first we should build trust with them after merge...and we can target Julissa later on in the game. Either way this vote is tough...and myself and Tester have some serious thinking to do.”
TRIBAL COUNCIL:
If anyone has an idol and would like to play it...now is the time to do so…..NO ONE STANDS
I’ll read the votes then
First vote……………….Julissa
Second vote…………...Anthony
Third vote……………...Anthony
Fourth vote…………….and the 9th person voted out of Survivor Luck of the Draw….ANTHONY it is time for you to go.
The vote: 4-1

I wrote a lot for this one. I got HW to do...episode 10 will be tomorrow most likely. I might do 10 later today. but not rn
Honestly, it's nice just reading it and not having to worry about whether my character will be next out or not, but at the same time when you have you're character in it, it makes everything a little more exiting!
