Hello! And Welcome back to the first two parts of the FINALE of Happy Holiday Survivor!!!!
We are getting down to the wire!
Last Episode we saw Bucky's Arm find an idol, as well as the aftermath of Shattered Dreams leaving their alliance come into effect, after they had won reward and chose not to take Sleigh Ride on the reward with them. Glittery also won immunity causing Shattered Dreams to scramble again, making an alliance deal with Glittery, which they were not fully on board with. Another big event took place at camp as well, with Sleigh Ride and Fievel's alliance dissolving. In the end however, Shattered Dreams attempts at staying were futile as without any strong support from a well-meaning alliance, they were unanimously taken out. Ending the reign of the strongest competitor in the game.... at least for now.
That's right the first part of this episode features the return challenge! Who will be the one to return? Will they make it to the finale of this game? and Will they be able to shake the tribes dynamics? Let's find out.

Finale (part 1):
Edge of Extinction
Shattered Dreams arrives on Edge of Extinction, everyone is shocked and also not shocked at the same time. They all say the same thing. 'We thought you still had more lives'. To which Shattered Dreams claims that they only have 1 left, which either ends when they are voted out again after returning or if they fail to return.
Speaking of returning. Oh my Exiled 13! That is right there are 13 of you here and this is your last shot at redemption and a chance to return to the game. After this return comp, you will all move to ponderosa where you will ALL be apart of the jury and make the last decision of the game. Determining the winner. But before that it is time to find out the challenge and who will win it.
Don't Call It a Comeback
"The castaways will each be attached to a rope that is woven through a series of obstacles. The first one to reach the end wins."
Finishing in Last and Twelfth Place is...
.
.
.
.
.
.
Baby Grinch and Buddy.
Finishing in Eleventh and Tenth Place is...
.
.
.
.
.
.
Annabelle, which shocks everyone. And Hey Sis, It's Christmas, which shocks no one.
Finishing in Ninth and Eighth Place is...
.
.
.
.
.
.
Gizmo and Big Presents, no second return for you.
Finishing in Seventh and Sixth Place is...
.
.
.
.
.
.
Shattered Dreams, thus resulting in their nine lives being used up :(. And Shirley, which is also very sad for me :(.
Finishing in Fifth and Fourth Place is...
.
.
.
.
.
.
Oh Santa! and Eggnog. Two early outs, who I didn't expect random.org to favor in this comp order.
We are down to our FINAL 3. Christmas Tree Farm( a wild and crazy drama starter), AIWFCIY(Everyone's Best Friend, taken out by an idol), and Max(Used an idol to save a friend, only to be the one voted out instead). Any of these three I think would make great returnees. But let's find out who it actually is.
Finishing in Third and Second Place, just short of returning to the game is...
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
Christmas Tree Farm...
.
.
.
.
.
and...
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
Max.
Meaning AIWFCIY WINS and WILL RETURN to the GAME!
Along with their return, they will also return with two halves an idol. One half must be given to someone still left in the game. This idol can only become a full idol, if both you and the person you hand the idol to survive the next tribal council. So choose wisely.
Everyone else, you will return to ponderosa and are now part of the jury. Congrats for sticking it out this long.

OPENING CONFESSIONALS
AIWFCIY: I am stoked to be back, I was definitely taken out unfairly before, and I do think had I not gotten out when I did, I would have been in the final 5 anyways. But, since my leave, people have formed new bonds and created new alliances. I am left to rely on what relationships I did have and try to integrate myself into a tribe that has already moved on without me. Plus, I know of at least two people left still who sealed my fate. Who is to say they won't try and get me out again.
Glittery: I am very happy to see AIWFCIY. Not sure how the other people in my alliance will feel, but us two got along pretty well. Maybe I can convince them to vote out Sleigh Ride with me and not AIWFCIY, but I am not sure where AIWFCIY's theoretical head is out when it comes to who to target. It will be interesting to say the least.
Santa Claus/Martians: You know, had Bucky's Arm not spared me with that idol, I would've been the one to leave the night AIWFCIY did, but I am not ready to go back in time, and change what already happened. Big Presents returning was fine, because I had no problems with them, but before AIWFCIY left we had a big fight, which caused us both to target one another. I mean I trust the alliance I got to not vote me, but I don't trust AIWFCIY or the other two I am not aligned with, and I don't feel like being apart of another tie.
RELATIONSHIP HIGHLIGHTS
AIWFCIY gives one half the idol to Glittery.
Here is a Refresh on Alliances.
alliance 1: Bucky's Arm and Santa Claus/Martians
alliance 2: Bucky's Arm, Glittery, and Santa Claus/Martians
Santa Claus/Martians: Unbreakable Bond with Bucky's Arm. Strong Bond with Glittery. Small Bond with Sleigh Ride. Medium Dislike with AIWFCIY.
Bucky's Arm: Unbreakable Bond with Santa Claus/Martians. Small Bond with Fievel.
Glittery: Unbreakable Bond with AIWFCIY. Strong Bond with Santa Claus/Martians. Slight Bond with Fievel. Medium Dislike with Sleigh Ride.
AIWFCIY: Unbreakable Bond with Glittery. Small Bond with Sleigh Ride. Medium Dislike with Santa Claus/Martians.
Sleigh Ride.: Small Bonds with AIWFCIY, Santa Claus/Martians, and Fievel. Medium Dislike with Glittery.
Fievel: Small Bonds with Sleigh Ride and Bucky's Arm. Slight Bond with Glittery.
Onto the IMMUNITY CHALLENGE:
This Immunity Challenge has no description from the simulation, so I guess I will come up with my own.
It is titled Odyssey 6. Uh... so, the Happy Holiday 6 must compete in an obstacle course, composed of challenges they have done throughout the season. And there is also a puzzle at the end of the obstacle course, which will reveal the name of the challenge when it is complete. Goodluck!
In Last Place would have been...
.
.
.
.
.
Bucky's Arm.
In Fifth Place would have been...
.
.
.
.
.
AIWFCIY. That sucks.
In Fourth Place would have been...
.
.
.
.
.
Santa Claus/Martians.
In Third Place would have been...
.
.
.
.
.
Glittery.
We are down to our final 2. Fievel and Sleigh Ride.
In Second Place would have been...
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.

Sleigh Ride, meaning FIEVEL has WON IMMUNITY.
Fievel also wins reward, which he can share with two others.
Fievel: I pick Sleigh Ride and Bucky's Arm.
Alright you guys will have a steak dinner, with a dessert of chocolate cake. Yum.
CHALLENGE CONFESSIONALS
Fievel: YES, Immunity is finally mine, I wasn't sure if I was ever gonna win it and boom I did. Plus, I get a cake! A cake! Now technically I am a mouse, and I don't know if mice can have cake, but let's pretend for the sake of enjoying my reward and that I am indeed a fictional mouse that I can.
Sleigh Ride: I am happy that Fievel won, and that he chose me, despite our alliance not being really a thing anymore, it shows that he still kind of has my back. Plus, I think for this vote I do feel somewhat safe, I mean, I know that is bad to say, but I don't think I am on anyone's radar besides Glittery, and they have yet to convince anyone to vote me out thus far.
AIWFCIY: Winning Immunity was important for me. I mean, sure Big Presents didn't win immunity on their return, but there was 12 other people in the game still to choose from. I only have five other people besides me here. It's a lot less easy to hide. But I am gonna try and either smooth relationships over with people I have bad blood with or Rekindle the ones that I still get along with to try and take out one of their targets or one of mine. I just need to survive this tribal, then I can make it to the final 4.
Bucky's Arm: Not sure why Fievel picked me for the reward, we have never been on the same side of this game since the merge started, so it seems a little out of the blue. Maybe he is just trying to get on my good side, so when he doesn't have immunity, me and my alliance don't vote him out. And I am not sure if that will work or not.
TRIBAL EVENTS
Idol Refresh
Bucky's Arm has an idol.
Glittery and AIWFCIY both have a half idol, which can become a full idol if they both survive this tribal council.
Glittery and Santa Claus/Martians are seen talking by the beach. They are talking game, but also talking about each other's favorite stuff. They both coincidentally have the same favorite movie( Santa Claus conquers the Martians) and the same favorite holiday song. (Santa, Can't You Hear Me).
Fievel is seen working hard at camp after feeling re-energized from his reward. He gathers cocount from the trees, fish from the water, and even cooks a meal for everyone. This causes him to become tired.
Event Confessionals:
Santa Claus/Martians: I am so glad Glittery has stopped with their awful jokes. They are actually a great person to talk to when they aren't telling awful jokes. It is so wild we both have so much in common.
Glittery: I quickly shifted the conversation from game to literally anything else. Santa Claus/Martians of course wants AIWFCIY out and asked if I'd be okay with that. And really I am not. Not only do the two of us get along so well, I have yet to get the one target I've had forever out. How is that fair? Like Bucky's Arm and Santa Claus/Martians have gotten all of their targets and enemies out, but not me, an enemy I have had since like... ever? But no, since an enemy of theirs is back, they must go first. It is annoying.
Fievel: Just because I had a good meal already doesn't mean I don't want to help the others have a good meal. Especially since I had so much energy from the steak and cake. Though I am tired now, I hope the host is not mad if I nap at tribal council.
TARGETS AND TRIBAL:
AIWFCIY is targeting Santa Claus/Martians. This is the only person that they strongly hate, and need to get out in order to have the greatest amount of success.
Sleigh Ride is targeting Glittery. Basically the same thing as AIWFCIY honestly.
At Tribal I ask some questions.
Q: AIWFCIY, first off, welcome back to the competition. Second, do you feel as though you could be sent right back out of here? Or do you think your short time back at camp has been enough to convince people to keep you?
A: I don't think I am safe, even if I haven't heard my name being discussed, I know it is, I mean. I had a fight with Santa Claus/Martians and they would have gotten out, had their friend, Bucky's Arm, not used their idol. And since we haven't had time to mend that broken relationship, it is still one that is broken, and I know that they are after me. Unfortunately, the people I am close with don't want them out. So here is my last plea to the both of them. My vote is not going to you tonight.
Q: I'll ask then, Bucky's Arm and Santa Claus/Martians, hearing that, do you then keep AIWFCIY around? They told you they are not voting for you. Do you still vote them out? Keep with what you came here to do? Or do you go to a Plan B?
(Bucky's Arm) A: There is no Plan B really, tell you the truth there is no Plan A. We haven't really spoken about the target, because there was already someone we were targeting in our minds, and just one look at each other, we were on the same page. So pleading is unfortunately useless.
Alright and with that it is time to vote, AIWFCIY you are up first.
Everyone votes.
No one stands up or reaches for their bag.

Your Tribe Has Spoken.
AIWFCIY: I think you are all making a big mistake, but I wish you the best of luck. And remember I now have the most knowledge of what is going on in the game, and can now use that information to inform the jury. So good luck.
FINAL VOTE COUNT: 4-2
Bucky's Arm, Fievel, Santa Claus/Martians, and Sleigh Ride all voted AIWFCIY
AIWFCIY and Glittery voted Sleigh Ride.
Closing Confessionals:
AIWFCIY: Returning and then getting voted out right away is not a feel good experience. It does hurt. As much as I wanted to vote Santa Claus/Martians, I couldn't convince Glittery to do the same. And I was hoping Glittery could convince the others in their alliance to vote Sleigh Ride. But I think what happened is either Glittery told them that they weren't voting me and were going to actually vote with me, which made them want to vote me out more. Or, Glittery purposefully didn't tell them any of that and just told them to vote me, so they can come out of this situation looking like the good guy. Who knows.
Glittery: I am sad to see AIWFCIY go, and yet another time I want to get my target out, get passed by for one of my alliance members targets'. It frustrates me, but I know Sleigh Ride will get their turn sooner or later.
Sleigh Ride: I voted AIWFCIY because they said that those they were close with were not willing to vote who they wanted, and I had seen them talking with Glittery pretty much their whole time back, so I knew that I was gonna have at least two votes, and in order to not have a 2-2-2 tie, I had to make the decision to vote out AIWFCIY, which means me and Fievel are yet again in the minority, but I hope we can bounce back.

CLOSING THOUGHTS BY ME!
I was actually really looking forward to AIWFCIY returning, it just sucks they got voted right back out, I was hoping that AIWFCIY could have worked with Sleigh Ride and Fievel in order to take a shot at the dominating alliance, but they clearly didn't do that.
I am worried for Fievel and Sleigh Ride obviously. They gotta either hope that one of them can win the last two immunity challenges, so that at least one of them makes final 3. Or they gotta hope that their is cracks in the other alliance, but I am doubtful of that second one, just because even if their alliance does dissolve, they all still have great bonds with one another, whereas Fievel and Sleigh Ride have no outstanding bonds.
But anyways let us jump into Part 2 of the finale.

Finale (part 2):
This episode I am gonna make a little shorter since part 1 feels like it is very long. So no relationship highlights as they are basically the same.
IMMUNITY CHALLENGE:
Giant Tick
"Each castaway race through a giant obstacle course. They must each go to six stations over different obstacles and collect six bags of puzzle pieces along the way. They must then use those pieces to solve a puzzle. The first to finish their puzzle wins immunity."
Oh so,,, basically the same as the last immunity challenge that I made up... fun.
In Fifth Place is...
.
.
.
.
.
Bucky's Arm.
In Fourth Place is...
.
.
.
.
.
Sleigh Ride.
In Third Place is...
.
.
.
.
.
Santa Claus/Martians.
We are down to our final 2. Fievel and Glittery.
In Second Place is...
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
Fievel.
Meaning GLITTERY is the WINNER of the IMMUNITY CHALLENGE. Congrats!
Challenge Confessionals:
Glittery: Winning this immunity was actually crucial for me. It does like 3 things. 1) It makes sure I make it to the final four! 2) I am not sure how Bucky's Arm and Santa Claus/Martians are after I didn't vote with them last tribal. and 3) It makes it so Sleigh Ride and Fievel can't convince them to vote me, since I didn't vote with them last time, which is smart if they could do it, but they can't.
Sleigh Ride: Not winning immunity is not the great. It basically means me or Fievel are gone. And if push comes to shove I will make sure Fievel is the one gone. That being said, I do hope we can convince someone to not vote us, and decide vote with us, but it is highly unlikely.
TRIBAL EVENTS:
Actually nothing happened at camp today... literally nothing. But uh don't forget Bucky's Arm has an idol and this is the last round it can be used.
TARGETS:
Santa Claus/Martians and Fievel are targeting one another. They strongly dislike one another.
Glittery is targeting Sleigh Ride. This rivalry has lasted the whole damn season.
TRIBAL COUNCIL:
At tribal I ask a few questions:
Q: Final 5, I want to hear from each of you, what your journey has been like, and what it feels like to be so close to the end.
Bucky's Arm: This journey has been a wild ride, starting off on one of the most problematic tribe I have probably ever seen, and even being apart of it's chaotic nature did not scream FINAL 5 to me. I did feel like I would be out quite early on. But I think once the tribe swap hit, I really came into my element, and I think starting from tribe swap I thought to myself I can do this. I made great allies and friends which has made this journey so much more easier. And it feels amazing to be so close to those final 3 spots. I would give everything to even just have a shot at winning.
Fievel: I too started on that problematic tribe and I too also contributed to the chaos. But it wasn't like I meant to. I just wanted to have fun! And Max was a giant party pooper. Early on besides the whole Max fiasco, I did make allies, but my friends and allies I did make sort of got eliminated early on, and I have had to play majority of this game either alone or with allies that I was only allied with because they were close to someone I was close with. Making Final 5 has meant a lot to me, and if my journey does end tonight, I am proud of what I accomplished. I mean winning an immunity challenge AND getting a cake on top of the win was amazing. As much as I want the to be in that finale, I am so proud of myself.
Glittery: I started on a tribe that really seemed to have high spirits, really everyone got along with one another, and I didn't really run into too many problems until the merge. I had a couple of unfortunate arguments with people who didn't understand my humor, but it only made me a better person. I have since those two fights made some real friends, and had some true connections with people, and that is what helped me make it to the final 5. That and an immunity win along the way. Plus this immunity win as well, I am on Cloud 9, finale is one more step away, and I do believe I can make it there, and take home the win.
Santa Claus/Martians: I also was on that chaotic, problematic, hateful tribe. And was actually one of two people who didn't cause any drama on that team. And when the other non-drama starter, Shirley, was voted out, I was scared I would be next. But thankfully I was not and I was even able to bond with someone who I deemed unstable. But as the saying goes, you can't judge a book by its cover, or its mental breakdowns. That same person even saved me with an idol, when the biggest drama I had all season took place. Being so close to the final and not reaching it would be devastating as I think I started out as an underdog who rose to power later on.
Sleigh Ride: I am the definition of underrated, under-edited, underestimated, and underdog. I have had a season long rivalry with someone and neither of us can get each other out. I have had alliances that never last, and I have had many confessionals thanks to the amazing writer of this series (Awh thank you Sleigh Ride), but no events because the sim even hates me. I think most of my presence has definitely been behind the scenes, cause truth be told I have worked so hard to reach the final 5 and I will continue working hard until I either win or get voted out. I am the only one left who has yet to win immunity which speaks even more so to my underdog status. And boy do people love an underdog, so I think if I do make it to the finale, I have a real shot at winning.
Alright thank you all for your answers, with that it is time to vote, Sleigh Ride you are up first.
Everyone Votes
Bucky's Arm stands up and plays an idol on themselves, might as well considering it is the last time to use it.
No one else stands, no one else makes a peep, it seems as though all the idols are finally asleep.

Fievel and Sleigh Ride voted for Santa Claus/Martians.
One Closing Confessional:
Glittery: Yet again my target is not the one my alliance decides to take out. Whose target do we take out instead? Santa Claus/Martians. It is just really frustrating.

CLOSING THOUGHTS BY ME!
Fievel :( I don't think he ever stood a chance if I am being honest, I think since the merge started he has either had no relationships highlighted or the worst relationships the whole time, so even if he made the finale I don't know that he would have won, but I am sad nonetheless.
Anyways thanks for reading this super long episode. I am gonna release Finale pt3 and the Reunion episode tomorrow as one part. And then the voting chart, simulation link, accolades, and analytics will all be done after Christmas probably on the 27th? I am thinking.
Anyways who are you rooting for of the final 4? And leave your thoughts down below.
Hello! And Welcome back to the first two parts of the FINALE of Happy Holiday Survivor!!!!
