Hello! And Welcome back to Episode 7 of Happy Holiday Survivor!!!!
Last Episode two MAJOR events happened that shook up the game. The long awaited return challenge finally occurred, letting the victor Big Presents return, along with their return came the merge! In the first individual immunity challenge of the season Annabelle took the win, just barely beating out Baby Grinch and Big Presents. Not wanting to go home just after returning, Big Presents decided to work their magic, and in an 8-5 vote, Hey Sis, It's Christmas, Big Presents' target, was voted out.
Let's find out what happens next!
There are a couple of gifs which obviously the imgur image above won't show. But rest assured that the champagne glass does break.

Edge of Extinction
Hey Sis, It's Christmas arrives on Edge of Extinction, everyone already there looks slightly shocked, expecting Big Presents to be there, but even more shocked after Hey Sis, It's Christmas tells them, that they believe it was Big Presents who made their elimination possible.
I, the spectacular host, make an appearance.
Oh my Exiled 6... yes we are still... or I guess back at 6, I have another surprise for you... Here is a clue for 2 advantages, one will help you out and another will help out someone still left in the game. they are attached. So whoever finds 1, will find the other. Good Luck!
After a little while of searching, GIZMO finds the advantages.
The one advantage for himself is to practice for the re-entry challenge.
The other is to give someone in the game an extra vote, he chooses... Santa Claus/Martians
Opening Confessionals:
Santa Claus/Martians: Interesting, I was told I received an extra vote from someone on Edge of Extinction, glad to know someone has my best interest in mind. This is very helpful, especially if me and Bucky's Arm want to try another silent blindside.
Max: BARK BARK BARK
Glittery: Voting in minority is never a fun time, especially now in the merge. I just hope I'm not next.
Shattered Dreams: I know for a fact that Glittery voted for Buddy, because they tried to convince me to do the same. But I was smart, and knew that there would not be enough votes for it to get pushed through. Seems whoever wanted Buddy gone was using Glittery as their puppet. Whatever the case, I don't care if Buddy goes, just then wasn't the right time.
Relationship Highlights:
Big Presents and Max both have a half idol ready to be combined into a full idol, in a SHOCKING turn of events Big Presents lets Max have the full idol. Leaving Big Presents with 0 idols and Max with 2.
Now for the actual highlights.
AIWFCIY seems to get along with the most amount of people of the whole tribe.
There are only a few negative relationships, making all these people tied for getting along with the least amount of people.
Max and Fievel don't get along, but they do get along with Shattered Dreams and Annabelle respectively.
Annabelle doesn't get along with Bucky's Arm but she does get on well with Fievel, as mentioned above. And Bucky's Arm only has one positive relationship as well which is with Santa Claus/Martians.
There are still a few people with no relationship highlights however. Buddy, Sleigh Ride, and Big Presents please build some meaningful realtionships.
REWARD CHALLENGE:
Planks a Lot
"Divided into two teams of six, four members of each team will swim out in pairs to obtain a bundle of planks in the crow's nest of another platform and swim them back to shore. Once both sets of planks are back on shore, the remaining two team members will then use the planks to solve a plank puzzle."
The two teams of 6 are as listed.
Team 1: Annabelle and Max/ Baby Grinch and Shattered Dreams are the two pairs of swimmers. While Buddy and Fievel are the puzzle solvers.
Team 2: Big Presents and Arm/ Glittery and Sleigh Ride who are the two pairs of swimmers. And AIWFCIY and Santa Claus/Martians are the puzzle solvers.
Each team starts off to a slow start, unable to find the right rhythm in the water. Right now the pairs in the water are Glittery and Sleigh Ride for team 2. And Baby Grinch and Shattered Dreams for team 1. Eventually Team 2 is able to get to the crows nest, and retrieve their planks and get back to shore, letting the second group of swimmers for team 2 in the water.
Team 2's second group of swimmers and Team 1's first group of swimmers arrive to the crow's nest at the same time, and both arrive on shore at the same time. Meaning Team 2 is on the puzzle, while Team 1 is only on their second group of swimmers who try their best to play catch up. Team 2 is slowly but surely getting the puzzle done, as Team 1 just now arrives to the shore with the second set of planks.
Buddy and Fievel for team 1 try their best to catch up to AIWFCIY and Santa Claus/Martians for team 2, but it's no use as...
TEAM 2 WINS REWARD. They all win Chinese takeout that is to be delivered to them at camp.
A couple of reward confessionals:
AIWFCIY: It feels good to win a reward challenge, especially the first merge one of the season, and man it tastes so good.
Buddy: I can't help but to think that it was Shattered Dreams and Baby Grinch's fault that we lost. They were very slow.
Alright onto the IMMUNITY CHALLENGE!
Keep on Your Toes
"The castaways would each stand on a small wooden perch in a rectangular frame. They would brace a wooden block on their head and keep it in place using the wooden board above them. The structure would force the contestants to stand on their toes slightly, increasing the difficulty. The last person left with their wooden block intact wins immunity."

Challenge Confessionals:
Baby Grinch: After being so close last time, it feels good to actually win, plus with Buddy receiving votes last tribal, it seems like anyone can be a target and I don't want it to be me.
AIWFCIY: A very very close one. I almost had it, but at least it is someone I am allied with, so that makes me feel a bit better.
Sleigh Ride: A little more steadiness and I would have had it. Despite voting in majority last tribal, I do think I am on the bottom. But here's hoping my non existent relationships can keep me safe.
Annabelle: Ooh another good finish, I hope this doesn't make me appear as a threat. I just learned to never give up, so of course I am gonna always try my best.
TRIBAL EVENTS:
Since there was a change in idols/advantages here is a recap of what everyone has got.
Bucky's Arm has an idol
Shattered Dreams has an idol.
Max has two idols.
And Santa Claus/Martians has an extra vote.
Glittery and Sleigh Ride have a small fight. Glittery sees Sleigh Ride looking a little down, and in an effort to cheer them up, Glittery makes a stupid joke, one that Sleigh Ride finds to be offensive. Sleigh Ride rolls their eyes, causing Glittery to start being rude to Sleigh Ride, calling them all sorts of names, and then after stating that they were only trying to help and that Sleigh Ride deserves to be sad. This fight has a lasting impact.
After that fiasco, Sleigh Ride is approached by Baby Grinch, who is actually successful at cheering Sleigh Ride up, and even has to work double time. They bond over a little mocking session of Glittery, seeing as they both have had fights with them at this point. It's a good light hearted fun, that brings them closer together and it has a lasting impact.
Big Presents works really hard at camp, so hard it causes them to become tired and rest for a while.
Event Confessionals:
Glittery: Sleigh Ride? More like Sleigh RUDE! I tried to cheer you up and you repay me by rolling your eyes. You deserve to be miserable then.
Sleigh Ride: I really appreciate Baby Grinch coming to cheer me up after Glittery ruined my day, a truly amazing person he is.
Baby Grinch: I've been on the receiving end of Glittery's jokes so I know just how awful they are. I had to step in.
Big Presents is seen napping.
TARGETS AND TRIBAL
Bucky's Arm and Annabelle are targeting each other, they absolutely hate one another.
Sleigh Ride is targeting Glittery, due to the events of today.
Fievel is targeting Santa Claus/Martians, they just don't really like them.
At Tribal I ask a few questions:
Q: Sleigh Ride, things got pretty heated at camp I hear, what happened?
A: What I really hope was a misunderstanding. I was told a pretty crude joke, and instead of encouraging them I just rolled my eyes, and they did not like that and called me a whole slew of names and insults, thankfully another person here was able to make me smile afterwards.
Glittery just rolls their eyes at everything Sleigh Ride says.
Q: Annabelle, after winning last challenge, and coming close in this one, do you fear you could be perceived as a threat?
A: Of course I am worried, but I feel as though there are other people here who are more uh strategic threats, which in my opinion is far scarier.
Q: Bucky's Arm, do you agree with Anabelle?
A: I both agree and disagree. Strategic threats are scary, however. If someone is a physical threat, and you also don't like them. It is a win-win.

Annabelle, Sorry but that is 7 votes and tonight that is enough.

Annabelle: I am going to stay.
FINAL VOTE COUNT: 10-2
Everyone but Annabelle and Sleigh Ride voted for Annabelle
and Sleigh Ride and Annabelle voted for Glittery.
Closing Confessionals:
Annabelle: I am very disappointed with myself for being taken out so early, I think Bucky's Arm wanted me gone, and they got their Wish
Sleigh Ride: I don't mind that I voted in minority, what I do mind is how little people voted with me in said minority, I thought I had friends?
Glittery: I know it was either Sleigh Ride or Baby Grinch who voted against me with Annabelle tonight and when I found out who it was. They are so dead.
Buddy: YAY, got no votes this time. YIPPEE!

CLOSING THOUGHTS BY ME!
Annabelle is actually one I am very sad to see go. Having been so prominent pre-merge, it sucks she is out so soon in the merge. But for some reason the BrantSteele sims always make the people in the game target those who won immunity when no one has stats. Which everyone in this sims stats is 3, besides their strategic which is 4 and Loyalty which is at a 1. But it makes for a very frustrating simming experience. I hope Baby Grinch doesn't fall victim to this curse, but only time will tell.
