13. JOHN SACRIFICES HIS GAME FOR JUICE (S8, SURVIVOR: PALAU)
So after having a very controversial moment in the last blog. We now have a moment that which will hopefully lighten the mood. But first let's have a little back story to this moment. In Survivor Palau (CBS Version) Koror dominated the pre-merge leaving Ulong to scramble and fight for themselves to stay in the game. Well the CBS version lived on here in my series as well. The only difference was more than one Ulong member actually made it to the merge.
Ulong had entered the merge into a minority of 6-4. This minority was eventually picked off one by one till only #ticofernandez was left. Entering the final eight immunity challenge this looked to be a must win for Tico as he was a prime target for most of the game. However Tico did not show up in time putting him at risk to be eliminated.
But instead of me just ranting about Tico's minority spot let's get to the real moment!
This moment revolves around Coffeybean94 also called John or Juicy J at times throughout his Big Ben Survivor experience. John was probably throughout Palau was the most likable and people wouldn't mind losing to him. However John's strategic and challenge side lagged a little bit throughout the game.
Like I said prior, this moment revolves around the final eight immunity challenge. Before the challenge begins John asks me this question...

Can I check in now and run to the campus store I need my orange juice I THOUGHT I HAD TIME
So yes this was an awkward question to ask but ultimately I told John we would wait for him for a little longer. John sprinted his way to the campus bookstore and at the last second made it before I closed check in.
Now the fun part! The challenge I was hosting at the time involved each castaway to complete a puzzle as fast as possible and post their screenshot in the challenge forum. At each round one/two people would be eliminated from the competition. Simple enough right?

Juice is not viable answer as that is both a drink and a previous Big Ben Survivor castaway. JuiceBxx

I'M CRYING AT BEN'S SUBTLE SHADE
At that point in the challenge I had thought John must have been high on orange juice if he cannot post a proper screenshot. John actually made it past that round in the challenge but was knocked out the next round. FairyBoss ended up winning individual immunity here.
So poor John was so obsessed with juice he couldn't concentrate on the challenge. He did manage to stay at the final eight tribal council but final seven was a completely different story. John was being targeted by the one and only Guigi and the REAL WINNER OF SURVIVOR PALAU Mchappy
