Survivor - Emperors vs Knights

Chapter 41 - Day 34 & Day 35 Part 1

Alright, so here we are at the final seven with Knuckles, Luigi, Zelda, Foxy, Marth, Shovel Knight, and Sheik. One of these seven castaways is a future millionaire. All the upcoming winner has to do is to wait until the Survivor - Emperors vs Knights reunion show to find out lol.

But anyway, last chapter Bonnie was blindsided last night after Marth convinced Knuckles to flip, knowing it'd be a bad move on his part, and Foxy, who caught word of Knuckles flipping, chose to backstab Bonnie as a last minute sacrifice figuring out he was the target.

Historyfan15: For Knuckles deciding to flip, I guess I'll give credit to Marth for manipulating Knuckles just to satisfy his own agenda. And while the split vote plan was good for Marth because he knew he had another ally to work with again, for Knuckles himself it's rather questionable. As for Luigi though, whether people think he can actually make it or not, it's more about who's actually gonna win. However, I am quite surprised of how many Luigi fans are here lol. I thought there would be quite a few but he is actually one of the most popular characters for the season. (Probably because he's known for having way more personality than his brother). We'll see how things would turn out for them.

Derick Lindsey: Yeah, if Foxy wasn't considered to be a villain before, he's certainly one now and probably the only major villain left. Kind of interesting that he didn't really start to play his role as a major villain on the show until the Shulk blindside. I kinda feel bad for him for the Shadow vote because that was the one opportunity his alliance had to take control (at least until Greninja went home, but then he got unlucky) again. As for Chica though, what I can say is that... I'm thinking about her lol. And also, messed up with the votes again, huh? lol. It's almost as if the story's asking me to rely on you to get the votes right at this point.

Speaking of the votes, I edited them in the moment I realized I actually forgot to include them, but I'm gonna put who wrote down who here for those of you who read early so that you guys wouldn't have to look back. Bonnie was the lone wolf who wrote down Shovel Knight. Luigi, Sheik, and Shovel Knight voted for Foxy, so that means that Knuckles, Zelda, Marth, and Foxy voted for Bonnie, eliminating Bonnie Roberts in eight place with a 4-3-1 vote.

Night 33

Knuckles, Shovel Knight, Zelda, Foxy, Sheik, Luigi, Marth

Down to seven.

Seven was always considered to be the lucky number of the bunch. However, whoever got eliminated from the game in seventh places was not lucky at all, since there were not seven final spots in Survivor, and seventh place was certainly not first place. Basically, the opposite of seven being lucky when it came to the game.

But for the time, Bonnie took the eight place spot and when people came to camp, there was an almost immediate discussion among the castaways.

However, Foxy of all people actually took the opportunity to speak up first.

"So, I guess the plan was supposed to be me, huh?" He actually shot a respectable smile, though.

"Can't lie..." was all Sheik replied with, placing the immunity necklace that she won back on the post. "I gotta say: you are quite the player, Foxy. Didn't expect for you to betray your number one ally, but good move, nonetheless. I even stated that you were strategically leading your alliance when I was at the urn, and now you've just proven why."

"Game on, Sheik. Game on..." Though Foxy had no problems with competing for the million, there was clearly a problem he had with somebody else when it came to making moves, and that person was Knuckles. "Knux, can I pull you aside for a minute?"

Everyone else that stayed behind all stared in reaction as the echidna followed Foxy down the beach.

"Looks like Foxy is even more dangerous than we thought." said Shovel Knight. "Foxy was indeed the plan for tonight. He somehow found out that Knuckles was flipping over, and I guess to him, voting out Bonnie was his only choice. Don't get me wrong, we did at least managed to get Bonnie out, but clearly neither of them had an idol, so it was a wasted opportunity to get the fox's torch snuffed, but then again, Foxy himself ruined our plan. Bonnie was less dangerous to deal with. Now he's just been voted out... basically by accident. I wonder how he feels about it..."

Sheik placed her hand on her face. "Now we have just one more reason on why he needs to go..."

"So, what was that about?"

Foxy Michaels had his arms folded, staring at the echidna from Mobius right in his eyes.

"...How did you found out?"

"Heard you talking with the others by the water well. Looks like I came at just the right time, too." While he had the floor, he chose to ask him of his motivations at that very moment. "...Why'd you do it, man? I mean, no offense, but I've put my tail on the line for you, and now I'm forced to vote out the absolute last person I wanted. I really felt that..."

Knuckles sighed with a head shake.

"What part of you... thought it would be okay... to stab the both of us in the back? ...I thought our job was to avenge Freddy after Sheik stole Marth's vote, and you..." He lifted his hands only to drop them immediately. "Pretty much did the exact opposite."

"Well, to be honest with you, Foxy,... everyone had the perception that you and Bonnie were a dangerous pair." At least Knuckles did not lie, even though what he was telling the other red anthropomorphic animal was only most of the truth. "I figured that distancing myself from the both of you would get the target off my back."

"Target? ...What target?" That was when he cocked his head a little. "You were never the one being targeted, man. Me, you, and Bonnie. You just said that the both of us were dangerous for being a duo out here, if I were you, that would have told me to just stick with us and figure out what would have been done here. You were never going anywhere, Knuckles. ...What did you truly accomplish by flipping? Did you really accomplish much by doing hat?"

"..." He facepalmed.

"Not trying to push you away, but I'm tryin' to get the bottom of it here. Marth was already forced to work with the Chatan Alliance, you flipped, and that caused me to give me no other option but to flip on Bonnie just to save my own tail. ...I mean, I'm... I just don't understand how did it make any sense. It wasn't a good move for any of us, especially you, since you pretty had no reason to do that. I saved your life by convincing the tribe to vote for you instead of Rouge, when that could have put a target on my back for being strategic. I brought you into the alliance that we had with Bonnie, Freddy, and Shadow, and you mean to tell me you flipped just to get the pretty much near non-existent target off your back."

"It was just how I felt..."

"...I'm sorry, man... But,... look, I'm not yelling, I'm not trying to start anything with you, or down you, or anything you might be thinking right now. I just thought that it was a terrible move." And with that, he was on his way back. Yet, not without having one last thing to say to give Knuckles something to think about. "And just so you know, since I'm already the only one left in my alliance, if you want to have your options working again, I'm still willing to work with you if you wanna make up for it. If you wanna talk, we can do so tomorrow."

"For the love of the Survivor Gods, when will people understand that there's a time and a place for making moves? I mean, of course I wanted to flip myself, but that was because of me already being at the bottom at the time, with Bonnie and Knuckles back on the Chatan tribe. Knuckles, flipped, to distance himself away from me and Bonnie, knowing that he was already on the bottom, flips over to the Chatan Alliance when clearly nobody in that alliance except for probably Marth trusts him. Heck, I don't even think they were expecting them to flip because they already had a plan on voting me out. Knuckles flipping just gave them more options that worked to their benefit. He was already rubbing the Chatan Alliance the wrong way after Shadow left, now he's gonna flip on me for no reason? Just because me and Bonnie were a tight pair does not mean that we weren't planning on bringing you to the finals. In my honest opinion, I really feel that Knuckles undermined everything that we were trying to accomplish, and that in the end, he achieved absolutely nothing. …I don't mean any harm to that guy, but I am ticked off at him right now... Poor Bonnie, man. Downright shame I had to do it. I literally wasn't even thinking of that though, until the last freaking minute at tribal. There was no way we were even getting the majority back at that point no matter what we did, and clearly I was the target because I was seen as more threatening than Bonnie, so... I had to vote off my right hand man... My... first mate at that." Even with Foxy laughing briefly, clearly there was more sadness and guilt inside. "We've lost Shadow, then Freddy, and now I had to just give him up who didn't even deserve to go. Knuckles abandoned ship, and now I'm the lone pirate that remains... It's official... Nothing else against the world except me, myself, and I..."

Bikutā

Day 34

The next morning was basically the same routine as usual. Everyone was either doing chores around the camp, soaking in the water, or strategizing with their fellow members.

Marth was one of the people that was involved in all three of the aforementioned activities at some point during the morning. He was the one that started the fire that morning after it went out the previous, and he was now sitting in the water.

With Zelda.

"You know,... it is nice to see of how far we have come out here thus far." Marth began the conversation with a warm grin. "I mean,... even though we weren't always on the same page, we had a pretty decent relationship from the start, and here we are. Day thirty-four and we are the final two emperors remaining."

She chuckled a bit at that. "Yes, I do agree. I remember when Peach and Roy were still here, and at different points in the game, they had to be... sent away."

Marth looked down. "Part of me still feels a bit responsible. I was the one who played my idol with the majority of the votes at the time, making Roy next in line..."

"Hey, at least you never had to actually right his name down." Zelda recalled. "I had to help vote out Peach to avoid putting an early target on my back at the first Tribal Council."

"...True. You may have a point. ...But even though, at least you never had to think about your own vote being taken away." He replied. "Voting is as if you are having a direct say of what needs to be done. That right was taken away from me at the final nine."

"You're not wrong." Zelda nodded in agreement. "...However, in spite of certain times being difficult for the both of us, not only we both managed to work together at certain points, we are right back in the same alliance as we once before, just with a different set of circumstances. I still remember us two being the ones that were mostly responsible for Shadow's demise as if it was yesterday."

Now it was Marth's own turn to laugh. "Same here. ...Survivor is complicated. Isn't it?"

"Without a doubt. We both seem to want the same thing, but take different approaches for our own end game."

"Not only do I agree with Marth on the fact that Survivor is a rather complicated game to play," said Zelda. "there was another thing that I had in mind. Me and Marth had such a complicated strategic relationship throughout the competition; especially as of late. We voted together for the Shadow vote, but then, we voted differently when Greninja went home. Afterwards, Sheik stole Marth's vote and forced him to be on the same page as me again, and... I'll admit it when I say that I am a bit surprised that Marth seems to be more loyal than I initially anticipated, even though he stated he wanted to do what he could to keep me here. And despite him still being on watch by the Chatan Alliance, the bottom line is that we both started this game together, and here we are, the last remaining emperors standing."

"...Do you think we'll be able to get along?"

Zelda cocked her head to the side with a grin. "I thought we were always on good terms with one another as far as the concept of friendship. As far as the game is concerned,... I suppose that depends on how much we are willing to continue to work together. For now, let us continue to have small conversations such as this in order for us to at least have the chance to connect."

"Speaking of the Chatan Alliance, I have no idea what their perception of Marth is at this point. Sure, with last vote, I supposed he gained a bit more trust with them, yet at the same time, I am certain that they still aren't one hundred percent with them. Wouldn't be surprised if they're just gonna use him until they no longer require his assistance anymore. And if that's the case, it is only a matter of time not if, but when he is going to be voted out... And am I willing to do that? ...For right now, I... I'm sorry. I'd rather not think of it at the moment..."

-/-

Several minutes later, back at the camp, Sheik, Luigi, Knuckles and Shovel Knight were all simply sitting around, Luigi simply eyeing the fire.

"I mean, I just don't get it. I just don't get you, Shovel Knight..." Knuckles was speaking to the shovel wielder. "Now, I'm a furry, so the heat can be kinda annoying sometimes, especially since I am a furry. ...And then, you got the nerve to be out here wearing armor like that..."

"Well, my answer to that is rather simple." He stated. "When you've been using a shovel as a weapon for so long, and you have armor used to protect yourself, that is simply how it was for me all this time."

"..." He popped an invisible eyebrow at that. "So you're basically just used to it?"

"Long story short, perhaps. Though clearly the only piece that I do not wear often out here is my helmet."

"Knuckles joining our side is simply something that... we never even asked for." He admitted. "We... kinda don't know what to do with him. He distanced himself away from his alliance, Foxy is public enemy number one, and we are still trying to figure out how are we going to use Marth. But everyone is in the same alliance except for Foxy, who's only option is to win immunity unless he finds an idol. ...Of course, I've been taught that absolutely nothing is a guarantee in a game such as this, so we are never a hundred percent sure. But if things actually do go according to plan, I hate to just see him just... you know, die out like that. I want to get to know him just a bit more. There are still quite a few questions I need to ask."

"I'll be back." The blue knight stood up on his feet. "I'm going to see what Foxy's up to. Maybe I can prevent him from finding an idol."

"Oh yeah, that'd be great." Sheik commented. "We realllly don't want him finding one at this point."

Knuckles decided that it was the perfect opportunity for him to leave as well. "I'll go see what Marth and Zelda are talkin' about. They've been at the beach together for a while."

"Alright, then. We'll continue to talk in a few..."

...

"So, I guess it's just you and me, huh Luigi?"

"Yeah." He giggled. "I guess so... So, what's next?"

"I'm trying to think here. Right now we have like, eighteen million options on the table."

-/-

"Okay, so I know about your whole pirate thing back at home, but there's something I've never really asked you about until now. Do you mind?"

"Not at all. You can ask me on whatever you'd like, Shovel." Foxy was walking with Shovel Knight through the forest. "Don't want you to think that I'm unapproachable."

"Oh no, not at all, Foxy!" He chortled a little in reply. "I think that you're the exact opposite. You seem to share quite a few laughs with everyone once in a while. But anyway, how much often do you think about being an actual pirate? You know what I mean?"

"I know exactly what you mean." Michaels nodded in confirmation. "To be honest, I'm only a pirate when I have to be."

"Just for the kids?"

"Exactly... However, I do enjoy being one for the kids for fun. Putting smiles on their faces really makes my day. Never thought that I would do something that would make parents' kids happy, so I guess in the end it's all worth it... Now for me being an actual pirate though,... I'm not gonna lie. I can't exactly say that I'd actually, haha, want to be one, but I've always wondered what being one would have been like. Just because you don't want to be a certain thing and behave a certain way does not mean you can't be inspired by it."

"Those are actually... really good points, my friend! I like how you think!" Shovel Knight shared a warm grin.

"...You know, you gotta appreciate Shovel Knight. I genuinely feel like he simply wants to get along with everyone. He doesn't come off as if he is forcing himself to make connections. He just realizes that these are the people that he's playing with. Sure, we're all each other's competition, but when it comes to good sportsmanship, when we're all dealing with all this mess out here, Shovel Knight, I gotta say, can certainly highlight someone's day at times. I really like him. ...But at the same time, that make shim a threat with a capital 'T'."

"You came all the way out here just to have a conversation with me?"

"Right..."

"...Is it because of my days being numbered?"

For that second question he popped up caused quite an awkward moment for Shovel Knight, almost completely stopping in his tracks. "...I... Well..."

His competitor still chuckled a little. "Don't worry, Shovel Knight. You're just doing job and I've been the lone pirate out here since I turned on Bonnie. Sure you've been motivated to have this interaction with me because my chances of making it to the end are beyond low, but the least I can do is appreciate the fact that you're taken time out of your day to bond with me."

"...Well, I feel that if you just get picked off, it would be rather a shame for you to just go and not take one of these few, final opportunities to get to know you. I know we've talked before, but... I just wanted to have a talk with you, at least one last time."

"Do you think you're getting to the end?"

"I hope so..."

"I don't think it would hurt for you personally if you brought Luigi to the end." Foxy opinionated. "I mean, you'd probably beat him to the end, anyway. I was going to bring Knuckles to the end, but... look what happened."

"Yeah..." He blinked as the finally concluded their walk at the tree mail.

"But if you want my two cents on Sheik, I think she's the one you need to worry about. She might be your biggest competition for the Sole Survivor."

"...Sheik?"

"Well, ever since Greninja left, she became the glue that's holding your alliance together." He elaborated, pouring water into his tribe member's canteen before filling up his own. "She made sure Zelda stayed close to her, both of you are keeping secret of who has the idol, neither of you have to worry about Luigi, now you have Knuckles, and Marth knows he has to do whatever Sheik tells him to do. Long-term, you might be considered to be her biggest threat."

"..."

"I hoped I slowly eased my way into the whole manipulation trick, haha! But it's not just that. Of course I'm trying to save myself from elimination next tribal if I don't win the necklace, but at the same time, I'm putting myself into Shovel Knight's shoes as we were walking. I believe Sheik is in fact Shovel's biggest threat to win. Lately, she's been proven to be quite the strategic mastermind. If that alliance stays together, she can beat every single person in that group. But as far as threats go, Shovel Knight could be the one guy she needs to make sure is eliminated before the Final Tribal Council. ...So guess what this means... I gotta pit them against each other. I'm telling Shovel to think about Sheik, and Sheik to think about Shovel."

He managed to find time to speak with the ninja alone later on in the day in the water by herself.

"I mean, you can do whatever you want with me, but if you need just one more to make sure stuff goes your way, I'm all by myself and I'm willing to work with anyone as long as it's not me at this point. I don't even care."

Impa's student gradually cocked her head to her right. "...Okay... I gotta admit... You're not wrong... Do you think it is necessary for me to get him out now, though?"

"Yeah, it's a guessing game at the moment on whether or not getting him out right now would be great for your end game." Foxy folded his arms. "However, would Shovel actually cut your throat this early? He may not look like at, but for all we know, he probably knows that you think he doesn't have a super aggressive strategy going. If he's gonna attempt to blindside you now, I recommend you get rid of him before he gets rid of you. And if he somehow wins the next immunity, maybe we can take Luigi out for being one of his options for him to get to the end."

"Plan sounding so crazy in places it might work, right? The only disadvantage on my end besides this blowing up in my face is not knowing which of the two has that idol! Dang, man... That idol still hasn't been played yet! Is this some kind of record or something? I don't know which of the two have it, but... my guess is that Shovel Knight is more likely to have it. Because, think about it. Knowing that my alliance was scrambling last minuet at the Freddy vote, in order to guarantee she wouldn't be on the bottom anymore, Sheik might have been scared enough to play her idol at that point even though Marth's vote was already stolen... unless she would have been willing to take the risk and not play it on whoever. So... most likely Shovel Knight has it, but Sheik for all I know could have it, anyway. But the point is that Captain Foxy just might live to see another day after all. He just has to stay quiet and keep his options open."

Day 35

"Come on in, guys!"

Knuckles, Zelda, Foxy, Shovel Knight, Marth, Luigi, and Sheik all approach Master Hand through the forest and onto the sand within no time at all, the host of the show getting straight into business.

"Alright, you guys ready to get into today's immunity challenge? First things first, Sheik, I will take back the necklace once again."

"And I will be sure to win it back once again, master." She had no problems meeting him halfway. "How about that?"

"Well, I guess it's good to have enough motivation to give you the confidence you need for it." He hooked the necklace back on its post. "Once again, immunity is back up for grabs. For today's challenge, you are going to stand on top of a perch over the water. You are gonna toss a bucket of water in the ocean, pull it back up using the rope, before pouring the water out of the bucket and into the bamboo chute, which will eventually be enough water that will cause your key to rise that is hooked to a flag. Upon retrieving the key, you will jump off the perch and swim to shore, before unlock a series of puzzle pieces. First person that finishes correctly, wins immunity. They will be guaranteed a one in six shot at winning this game. Losers, Tribal Council where someone's Survivor adventure will come to an end after thirty-five days in this game. We'll draw for spots, we'll get started."

-/-

"Alright, here we go. For immunity and a guaranteed spot at the final seven. Survivors ready?"

The seven challenge performers all stood tall on top of their perches.

"...GO!"

Then they immediately grabbed their bucket and threw it down into the water.

"Gotta use that rope to pull up that bucket in order for you to pull the water down the chute!" Master Hand reminded them. "However, that bucket has holes in it that is gonna make just a bit more difficult."

It never took that long for everyone to retrieve their bucket back. Yet Knuckles, Foxy, Shovel Knight, and Sheik all managed to have the early lead over the other three due to them grabbing their buckets the fastest and having their keys quickly rising higher than Luigi, Zelda, and Marth's.

"Most of you doing a nice job. Everyone else just trying to stay in it."

Not only it was about how fast one was able to retrieve their bucket again, but also aiming carefully, in order to avoid missing the chute completely when it came to actually pouring the water.

Zelda actually got the hang of it, as she was slowly beginning to creep up on the four other players that were in the lead.

Nonetheless, Shovel was doing a nice job of making sure the water actually went down the chute. Foxy and Knuckles had great speed, and Sheik was being the best of both worlds.

"Shovel Knight and Sheik are almost neck and neck with each other. Foxy and Knuckles right on their tail!"

"Ugh..." Foxy mumbled. "It is not enough..."

On the next run, Sheik attempted to make an early reach for her keys, yet it was just out of her reach. Foxy, however, proved to be much more daring when it came to collecting his keys, even going as far as making a dangerous move when he reached, appearing as if he was just about to slip off his perch and splash hard right into the water...

...Though in the end, he did in fact give up, figuring that it was not exactly worth the risk at all, especially since if he did actually fall, he would have had a major setback on his hands. He at least wanted to stay in the challenge.

"Foxy tried to make a big move, but it didn't work..."

Yet on Sheik's next try, she grabbed her key successfully.

"Whoooo!"

SPLASH!

"Sheik in the water! She has her key!"

Knuckles dived right in.

SPLASH!

"Knuckles has his key! They're both making their way to shore!"

Just a few seconds later, there came Foxy.

SPLASH!

SPLASH!

"Foxy has his key! Shovel Knight has his key!"

By the time they all were just about to touch sand, down came Marth as well.

"Marth trying to keep up! Zelda and Luigi's keys are almost in their grasp, but they still have a shot!"

As for the four that were leading, they wasted no time in using their keys to unlock their set of puzzle pieces.

"It is Sheik... Knuckles... Foxy... and Shovel Knight all fighting for that immunity. Yet like in most Survivor challenges, it just had to end with a puzzle."

"Aw, great. Puzzles are right up my alley." Knuckles said, not hiding his obvious sarcasm. "Way to go, Master Hand."

"Hmm... Maybe the Survivor Gods wanted you to take it as a blessing."

Sheik and Foxy were not afraid at all to snicker at that. Not directly at Knuckles, yet with their master.

SPLASH

SPLASH!

"Zelda and Luigi are finally in the water!"

And the challenge leaders were officially beginning to put their block puzzle together. There were four poles that were sticking up from their tables, meaning that there were a couple holes in the puzzles that were meant to slide right down said poles. To top it all off, since it was supposed to represent a pattern, the castaways had to make sure not one, but both sides of their puzzle were right. Talk about killing two birds in one stone.

Marth eventually got into the action, and soon the five were seen using their different strategies. Sheik, Shovel Knight, and Marth seemed to be taking the more methodical approach, while Foxy and Knuckles were testing out whatever they had in mind and rearranging pieces as they pleased.

Pretty soon, Sheik, Shovel Knight, and surprisingly, Knuckles appeared to have something going out of nowhere, immediately making Foxy and Marth scramble right when Luigi and Zelda got their puzzles unlocked.

"Shovel, Sheik, and even Knuckles are now starting to make progress! Foxy and Marth, desperate to not lose their part of the lead!"

With several more pieces being put together, Zelda not taking too long herself to begin having some sort of idea, all sixteen pieces for someone were all placed.

"Master! Master!"

"Knuckles thinks he has it..."

"...What?" Sheik mumbled under her breath.

Master Hand nimbly checked his puzzle. The side that was facing Knuckles seemed to be correct. The hand quickly checked the next side to make sure.

"...Nope!"

Stomping his foot and cursing loudly, Knuckles almost instantly began taking pieces off, everyone else resuming their work almost immediate

"Just when Knuckles thought that puzzles were right up his alley after all!"

Yet a few seconds later, another voice sounded.

"Master, I'm finished!"

"Now Shovel Knight thinks he has it!"

"...Am I correct?"

...

The sixteen piece block puzzle had a large black triangle in the middle, with multiple mini triangles inside.

"SHOVEL KNIGHT WINS IMMUNITY!"

"YES!"

Knuckles cursed loudly once again, not even caring if his anger got the better of him at that point.

Zelda would not have stopped eyeing her puzzle, though. "Hmm... I wonder how I managed to get the hang of it so quickly... I was almost done with mine..."

"Shovel Knight, come on over. Guaranteed spot in the final six."

Out of excitement, he came over immediately, very proud for the master to officially wrap the individual immunity necklace around his neck for the first time that season.

"Master, I am honored once again..."

Nearly every other castaway chuckled in reaction.

"Well, I'm honored once more to wrap this around your neck, Shovel Knight. You are once again safe tonight at Tribal Council. No shot at being voted out. As for everyone else, we'll see who gets the boot this time. Head back to camp and I'll see you all at tribal, where someone will be the fourteenth person voted out of Survivor, and will become the seventh member of our jury. Shovel, you know it won't be you. Everyone, grab your stuff and head on out."

"Well, there goes one of my options for tonight..." Foxy was not the most happy. "Not saying that he was my only option, but dang... When can I ever get a break here? Now I feel so lucky that I told Sheik that Luigi was also an option for her, because of me pitting her and Shovel against each other yesterday. And if somebody wants to do something, all I gotta do is to gather the numbers and we decide which of the two goes home. Probably the only benefit from me being on the bottom. Because when you are, it doesn't even matter as much as far as who goes home as long as it's not me. So this is for my parents, Clyde, Val, Shadow, Freddy, Bonnie... And you know what, Freddy's brother Rodriguez, too. He told me before he left that if he made it far enough he was going to be out here. Hey, Rodriguez! Giving you a shout-out buddy!"

I'm getting flashbacks to Kodai Island because I keep forgetting to post the names of the challenges on my profile again and what season they're from.

But anyway, for the most part, Foxy who's all by himself confronted Knuckles and is now trying to stir things up in order for him to survive. Though because he didn't win immunity, now he's hoping that it is anybody but him at this point. Guess we should wish him good luck.

Funky Kong (Donkey Kong's cousin) is going to be part of the Brain tribe for Survivor - Mexico! Sure, one may argue that the Brawn tribe is more fitting, but in the DK franchise, he's mostly known for giving DK and Diddy various transportation methods for them to access during their adventures (so I kinda picture him inventing those himself of course, which takes great brainpower to do). Funky Kong has actually been a favorite of mine for a while now so I can way to start writing him next season!

Questions:

1. How likely is Foxy going home at this point? (Yeah I know this question is so obvious but it obviously needs to be asked lol... And that's about the only question I can think of lol)

Vote on your favorite players of the season on my poll and I'll see you on Saturday!
