Hello! And Welcome back to Episode 9 (Part 1) of Happy Holiday Survivor!!!!
Last Episode AIWFCIY still dominated the tribe dynamics using their positivity to gain close friendships and allies, most people had dislikes, but they were one of the few who did not. At a close Immunity Challenge, Shattered Dreams pulled out a win, and all seemed well until meal time at camp. During the teams meal time AIWFCIY thought that Santa Claus/Martians was taking too much food, leading to an explosive fight between the two of them, causing the targets to shift onto them both. In a shocking, emotional tribal council, Bucky's Arm used their idol on Santa Claus/Martians, and despite AIWFCIY pleading for Shattered Dreams to use their idol on them, their pleas were useless, as they were voted out in a 5*(idoled)-4-2 vote.
With tensions at an all time what will happen next, and who will be the one to go? Let's find out.
There are a couple of gifs which obviously the imgur image above won't show. But rest assured that the champagne glass does break.

EPISODE 9 (part 1):
AIWFCIY arrives on Edge of Extinction, everyone is shocked and desperately wants to know what happened. AIWFCIY tells them about the fight, the idol played, and the idol not played, leaving people even more shocked.
After AIWFCIY discusses what happened, the exiled 8 receive a clue. It is a clue to an advantage for someone still left in the game. Mostly people half a** look for it, not really caring to find something that doesn't help them. But shortly after receiving the clue, it is found by...
Hey Sis, It's Christmas. They must now decide who of the people left in the game that they want to give the advantage to. The advantage is a slight boost in the immunity challenge.
Hey Sis, It's Christmas: I wish to use the advantage on Big Presents. Yes shocking I know, but they got me out, so that is major props and I want them to do well.
Alright, so Big Presents will have an advantage in the next immunity challenge.
Opening Confessionals:
Sleigh Ride: That was a crazy tribal, I am so stunned that AIWFCIY is gone. Goes to show that one bad thing can ruin it all for you.
Big Presents: Apparently a person on Edge of Extinction found me an advantage for the immunity challenge. Nice. I could use all the help I can get.
Max: BARK. Bark. bark.
Baby Grinch: Man, it would have been hilarious if Bucky's Arm was the one to go even after using the idol, me and Fievel would have literally died.
RELATIONSHIP HIGHLIGHTS!
Here is a refresh on the alliances:
Alliance 1: Bucky's Arm and Santa Claus/Martians.
Alliance 2: Baby Grinch and Fievel.
After AIWFCIY was voted out, it seems as though a lot more negative relationships are being highlighted.
There is still one outstanding bond, which is between Santa Claus/Martians and Bucky's Arm. This is Santa Claus/Martians only relationship highlight. But Bucky's Arm has one more which is a medium dislike with Baby Grinch.
Baby Grinch has a few small bonds highlighted, plus the negative one with Bucky's Arm. His small bonds are with Sleigh Ride and Buddy the Elf. Sleigh Ride also has a medium dislike with Glittery, which is Glittery's only relationship. Buddy also has a medium dislike with Big Presents.
Big Presents has another medium dislike with Shattered Dreams, which Shattered Dreams has another relationship which is a medium bond with Max. Max has one other relationship which is the worst relationship highlighted. An extreme hatred with Fievel, which is Fievel's only relationship highlighted.
Onto the IMMUNITY CHALLENGE.
Squatty Probst (These are some weird challenges)
"Castaways must stand in a squatting position, releasing the safety from their apparatus holding up an urn of water above a fire. Should they stand too high, their urn will spill, extinguishing their fire. If they go too low, a flag will release, eliminating them from the challenge. The last castaway squatting wins."

Baby Grinch!
Meaning SHATTERED DREAMS has WON IMMUNITY once again, for the second time in a row.
Challenge Confessionals:
Sleigh Ride: Not my finest moment. That was not a Slaying Sleigh Ride.
Glittery: Despite not winning, I think these squats really helped my figure, or would help if I wasn't a literal song.
Shattered Dreams: So thankful to have won, especially given what happened last tribal, I am nervous. Even being safe I am still nervous that someone I like could go home again.
Santa Claus/Martians: Having Immunity would be great right about now, I would have went home if not for Bucky's Arm, so it's scary knowing I could be in that situation again.
Baby Grinch: I have been doing so well in these competitions so far, thank goodness I don't have a billion enemies who are after me. But I can't get too comfortable.
TRIBAL EVENTS!
Here is a refresh of who has idols or advantages.
Shattered Dreams has an idol.
Max has two idols.
Santa Claus/Martians has an extra vote.
Quite a lot of events today.
Glittery and Santa Claus/Martians find something in common. They found out they both enjoy the same holiday treat. Which is obviously not pie. 😡 It has a lasting impact.
Buddy and Sleigh Ride bond slightly. They bonded over both kind of being outcasts a bit. Good for them. It has a lasting impact.
Buddy and Bucky's Arm also bond, but strongly instead. They bond over presents, not Big Presents, just presents in general. More specifically presents that also are limbs.
A New alliance also forms! Finally, it has felt like ages.
This new alliance is between Big Presents, Bucky's Arm, Glittery, and Santa Claus/Martians. An interesting bunch of people.
Especially Big Presents since their two relationships are negative... and they didn't do anything this episode to improve them.
Event Confessionals:
Big Presents: When approached for a new alliance. I was shocked! But I hope the four of us thrive and conquer this game. This is my final 4 right here.
Glittery: Who knew bonding over not pie😡 would be so beneficial. A new alliance, hell yeah I'm on board. But, I gotta try and promise myself that I won't leave this one.
Santa Claus/Martians: When making the new alliance, it was crucial to include people who have been on the outs. My only bond was with Bucky's Arm that was my only ally, and really I was his only ally too. So us being outcasts, we needed to rope in other outcasts to hopefully become the top dog. Buddy was a third option for us, and maybe we will invite him later on down the road, but now wasn't the right time.
Buddy: Bonding with all these people has been the highlight of my year!
TARGETS AND TRIBAL.
Max and Fievel target one another. As the greatest dislike in the game, this makes sense.
Baby Grinch and Bucky's Arm also target one another. They also can not figure out how to get along.
Sleigh Ride is targeting Glittery. They strongly dislike Glittery from that one time Glittery made an awful joke to her.
Shattered Dreams is targeting Big Presents. They just don't like them. Sad.
At Tribal I ask some questions.
Q: Shattered Dreams, How does it feel to win your second immunity challenge and are you worried people might view you as a threat?
A: Oh Host, I have always been perceived as a threat. I mean, let's be real here. I am a threat, and they should watch out. I love winning immunity, and if I happen to lose, I won't go down without a fight.
Q: Bucky's Arm, you played the first idol of the season, and successfully saved Santa Claus/Martians with it. Are you worried you could've used that idol tonight or further down the road?
A: Yeah, but at the same time, if I didn't keep a good friend of mine in this game, I'd be out sooner or later anyways, saving a friend gives me the best shot of ultimate longevity.
Q: Baby Grinch, you have come close in every single immunity challenge and won one of them. Do you think Random.Org is trying to paint you as a false threat in these write-ups, or do you think they are being accurate? (As you may or may not know I use Random.Org for the placements of everyone but the winner)
A: Well I don't know what a Random.Org is, or a write-up. But I am here to win the game, and I feel trying my best is never a question. I do want to do well, but I am worried. Annabelle did well in every competition and look where that got her.
Q: Fievel, we are at the final 10, how do you decide who to go, and should you be thinking about sitting in the finale, at this point in the game.
A: You should ALWAYS be thinking about end game. As for who to vote, it's tough. Do you vote someone you don't get along well with, or do you vote someone who has a bigger shot of winning the game? Cause yeah living with the person you don't jive well with is a pain, but if they get out they could convince everyone to not vote you. But if you are the reason a big game player goes home... then that could be the very thing that convinces the jury.
Alright with that it is time to vote. Santa Claus/Martians, you are up first.
Everyone votes.
No one stands and everyone is as silent as Fievel the mouse.

Sorry Baby Grinch, but that is 6 votes and tonight that is enough.
Your tribe has spoken.
Now Baby Grinch, you must decide if you want to stay and fight for a chance to return, or quit the game forever.
Baby Grinch: I will stay and prove my challenge capabilities.
FINAL VOTE COUNT: 6-4
Big Presents, Bucky's Arm, Buddy, Glittery, Santa Claus/Martians, and Shattered dreams all voted Baby Grinch.
Baby Grinch, Fievel, Max, and Sleigh Ride all voted Bucky's Arm
Closing Confessionals:
Baby Grinch: I can't say I am shocked, I was a threat, and threats don't usually last long. I do worry for Fievel, because without me he is basically all alone. I hope people take out Bucky's Arm soon, because despite having no head attached to his shoulder, they somehow have a good brain.
Bucky's Arm: Getting a target of mine and my allies feels good, It would not have been possible if not for the alliance we just formed. Thankful for that.
Buddy: Being on the right side of the vote is always nice, and I am happy to have bonded with so many people today.
Sleigh Ride: Well this sucks.

CLOSING THOUGHTS BY ME!
Another kind of shocking elimination. Baby Grinch was a fan fave, at least I have been told, so it is sad to see him go. But he was doomed after AIWFCIY left, and I fear many others are also doomed, seeing as that new alliance claimed it's first victim. It does have a couple of flaky people on it, But I am interested to see how the rest of the game plays out.
Also Random.Org loved Baby Grinch, it always placed him high when randomizing the last-2nd placements, which was weird.
Hello! And Welcome back to Episode 9 (Part 1) of Happy Holiday Survivor!!!!
Oh I fear I needed this win right here seeing how the rest of the votes have gone.
