Dear Diary,
This is a series where I explore my feelings and thoughts throughout the game. So far so good. I'm meeting everyone and some people stick out immediately. I like Young Writer a lot and Richie Tenenbaum actually proposed an allyship between us! I do enjoy being able to talk about Wes Anderson here so those things are a big plus. I've never truly had a #1 in these games and maybe this is the game that will change it!
I also look forward to corresponding with Mr. Blume but not feeling that strongly about any of the dogs or Kylie. I think I might have come on too strong to Sam but how I can I help it? He's SAM and I'm SUZY!!!!
I wish I had some other interesting insights but a las I do not. How many interesting insights can you even have this early on? Even writing here one day in is a big feat for me!
Yours,
Suzy

Dear Suzy,
Please come to the castle. I've baked a cake for you.
Yours truly, Princess Toadstool, Peach.

Hello Captain Sharp,
You must understand why I feel a bit wary around you.
I would like some cake though. What kind of cake did you bake?
Yours,
Suzy

Dear Suzy,
Given that your tribe is Camp Ivanhoe, are players looking to you and Sam as natural leaders?

Congratulations on completing the first 24 hours of Survivor: A Wes Anderson Production! In recognition of this momentous milestone, I have come to provide stimulation in the form of SPECTATOR ENGAGEMENT. As a note, please do be informed that these questions are being posted to every confessional in identical form. These are not individualized at all - please do not read any intent to guide or influence you, as this would most certainly breach some form of journalistic integrity that I surely hold dear as... I think my character is a journalist? Okay, I'm doing the thing where I type out all my thoughts and I've lost the plot. HERE COME THE QUESTIONS--------
1. With nothing to do but network with your tribe, you will hopefully have learned something about those who you will live with, fight alongside, and ultimately cut loose. What is the most interesting, funniest, or just plain weird thing that you now know about one of your tribemates?
2. Your first challenge has brought with it an interesting conundrum in the form of competing goals to vie for. What do you most hope to achieve when the Flea Market closes? What do you believe your tribemates will reach for?
3. As a hypothetical, consider the following:
"Someone is targeting you to be the next vote-out should your tribe to go Tribal Council. Who is it? Why do they want you gone? Who will you rely on to stay in the game? How worried are you that such a situation might arise?"
Thank you dear, and do remember to have fun!

Dear Wes,
I think they would if SAM had watched any of the films? Woe is me, that my soul mate does not even know who I am.
Yours,
Suzy

Hello Ms. Jane,
1) Hmm...I think that some of them have not watched any Wes Anderson movies!!! So weird!
2) I'm trying to ensure our mutual immunity here. Although I'm not that worried if we don't get it. I'm pretty okay letting go of Kylie.
3) Hmmm, I think there is this weird divide between people who have watched the films and people who have not. I think I'm sort of in the middle, but I may not be. It honestly might be Sam wanting to get rid of someone in the watched films group. I would probably rely on my friends Writer, Richie, and Double A Battery. Maybe also Oracle and Duke? I like them both a lot. I am not really worried at all about that situation.

Dear Ms. Jane,
I also heard you are a fan of Japanese Breakfast?? I would love to talk more about this if you would like.
Yours,
Suzy

i've been ratted out? :o

i've been ratted out? :o
It seems you have! There are no secrets in Wes Anderson land!
-
outrageous
truly truly truly outrageous
yeah i mean i'm no mega stan, but i like to sprinkle in a little japanese breakfast into my playlist. get some tennis in there, soccer mommy. little green cars... can't forget the mitski
one band i'm really getting hooked on the last little while is the crane wives!
-
Haha I am sorry! No secrets are safe here :p
Oh gotcha. I feel like I am a very recent listener AND mega stan. It all started with my book club fangirling over her and now I am hooked. There's something about her voice that i love so much. I feel like I am very late to the mistki train and I need to dedicate some time listening to her. Another big part of why I love her so much is definitely her fashion though. I bookmarked that yellow Cecile Bahnsen dress she wears all the time for when I eventually get married.
Have you listened to Jubilee?
The Crane Wives? I'll have to look that up. I already trust your music judgement so much though.

Dear Suzy,
Can you rank your tribe based on how likely you think they are to have outbid you for the binoculars?

Dear Suzy,
Can you rank your tribe based on how likely you think they are to have outbid you for the binoculars?
Yours truly,
Brendan
Okay here are my rankings!! 10 = most likely, 1= least likely
1. Richie
2. Oracle
3. Young Writer
4. Herman Blume
5. Kylie
6. Anthony Adams
7. M. Gustave
8. Sam
9. Duke
So I basically do suspect Sam and Duke here.

SNOOPY WANTS TO KNOW WHO SUZY THINKS WOULD HAVE BEEN BOOTED HAD SUZY'S TRIBE GONE TO TRIBAL.
I think if we had gone to tribal, it may have been Kylie or Herman Blume.
-
Dear Diary,
So much has happened in 3 days but at the same time not very much. No one was surprised for Kylie to go, not even Kylie. I think it's weird she picked Duke out of everyone else but I'm not sure what there is to read into that.
Tribe alliances so far:
1) Society of the Crossed Keys: me/Herman/Oracle/Richie/Young Writer
Herman was disgruntled by the whole situation with the auction and said "he had no choice but to trust me" in the situation. He said we should form a group of the five of us who bid on items but didn't get anything. I kept urging him about it and then just went ahead and made it. It's a good way to bring Herman into the fold and make him feel cared for while also creating a majority alliance.
2) Wes Anderson Fan Club: me/Young Writer/Richie
This came together quite naturally. Richie offered me an alliance quite early on with our shared love of Wes Anderson. Young Writer seems to be one of the only other people who cares about the flavor so he was also invited.
3) The Duke/Sam/Suzy/Oracle alliance: Sam reached out to me to see if I would be interested in this but he hasn't created this group yet. Not sure what's going on there.
4) The Bad Idol Hunter's Club: me/Anthony/Oracle
Anthony made this group and invited me and Oracle to talk about idol hunting etc. It's interesting and I like that Oracle and I are in so many of these groups together.
Now it's time for wild theories:
The more I think about it, the more suspicious the whole circumstance with the bidding is. Like I think it was debunked that it was 2 people working collaboratively when Young Writer revealed how much he bid. I think the other idea I had in that situation was multiple people bid 50-100 since 888 is just such a weird number. Going back to the original math though, it came out to 990 and the idea that it was 2 people who spent all 500. It just seems like a lot of things have to connect for the situation at hand to occur, which it could have. Could Young Writer actually have bid 500 on 3 items? It just seems like a convenient way to absolve himself of the guilt of having 2 extra items. I don't know, something weird is going on.
I do trust Richie a lot here and he seems to think the 3 of us are very tight. I like Young Writer as well but it just seems so odd the way he is at the center of all this stuff. I feel like if we were really close, he could just tell us the truth. I wouldn't even be that mad if he had done so... just not sure what to make of the situation. Someone like Young Writer wouldn't be operating alone and my heart sinks to imagine that Richie would be involved in any way.
Yours,
Suzy

WHICH ALLIANCE IS SUZY'S FAVORITE?

WHICH ALLIANCE IS SUZY'S FAVORITE?
Hmmm, I would say my favorite is Wes Anderson Fan Club but I do have my suspicions about Writer.
Oracle is I think my #1 ally even though Richie is quite close.

Do you want to be kidnapped and taken to Rushmore? Regardless, someone from your tribe is going to be taken away by the pirates. If you don’t want it to be yourself, do you have a plan to make sure it’s not?

I did not want to be kidnapped and I had no plan. It was just heart of the cards and I survived!!!

Dear Princess Celestia,
I'm sorry I've been so MIA in this diary. I've had loads of letters to respond to and I'm just getting around to this. I said I would be better about using this diary in this game but welp!! Old habits die hard.
I'm feeling very good about merge! Ivanhoe is leading the numbers 7 to 5 so even if there were to be a flip flopped in Writer, we have the numbers. Richie is affirming to me that I am his #1 ally and I feel equally good about Oracle. I think I am on very good terms with Gustave, Duke, and Herman as well. I've already talked to Richie that we may need to let Herman go at some point. Merge boot is going to be tough and I have my eye on Peter.... it's all about making Rushmore feel comfortable even though they're so outnumbered here.
I do have MANY questions about Young Writer, and I wouldn't be upset if he were the boot here. Get rid of a challenge threat while you can. I've started planting the seeds with Duke since he's already a bit miffed at YW. The only person who I don't think would be down for this is Richie. But YW has been majorly absent so not really sure what's going on there. I do still like him, but I just don't know where his secrets start and end.
Yours,
Suzy

Dear Diary,
I FEEL SO FREAKING FRUSTRATEDDDDDDDD!!!! HOW COULD I HAVE NOT WON THAT CHALLENGE? MAKE IT MAKE SENSE.

Dear Suzy,
I loved your drawing, and I would have ranked it number one if I was judging. I'm sorry about this outcome, but the judges have spoken.

I'm not still bitter or anything.
-
Oh my god, we may be going to rocks here!!!
What do I EVEN DO!!!!
-
Dear Diary,
I have no idea whether or not this is a good decision and can sink my game. Even though my trust with Richie is low, I do feel like he/Writer have nowhere to turn. I don't think I have enough social capital to drag them along though since this decision does not really benefit Oracle..........
Big Yikes.
Yours,
Suzy
-
Lol Richie, I'm not going to go to rocks for you. Sorry!
-
Dear Suzy,
Can you fully explain that round from your perspective? What factors went into your decision to flip your vote?
Yours,
Brendan
-
Yes I will go into detail. I feel so nervous about everything though. Maybe I shouldn’t have done this. Idk!!!!
-
Dear Diary,
Last round was a TOTAL nightmare. HUGE. And most of it was a big mistake I made. Oops.
I'm feeling crushed from challenge results and the one person I didn't want to win, wins. With Margot immune, it just seems like another day where she amasses a tiny bit more power. Richie tells me that she's floated my name to him and this pisses me off so much. I am an incredibly emotional player so I think I just saw her with rage in my eyes. It became my #1 plan to take her down. I create a group chat between Gustave/Margot for the sole purpose of mining information. They have idol fears so we decide a vote split is necessary and it becomes between Richie/Writer or Writer/Royal. I sway them to go for Writer/Royal to keep Richie safe.
Writer is on thin ice this whole time. He's been doing a lot of weird stuff, like his friendship with Peter (even though Peter was coming after me last round), and I learn that Writer/Richie has something on the side with Royal. Great. Writer makes a comment about how he doesn't want to pagong even though our Crossed Keys alliance would basically be a pagong....This raises alarm bells for both Herman and Oracle and it seems like Crossed Keys is unraveling a bit. Oracle is also getting fed up with Richie and it seems like a bad longterm plan for me to stay there.
In Trash Island alliance (Gustave and Margot), we decide how to distribute the votes:
On Writer -- Gustave, Margot, Herman, Duke
On Royal -- Madame, Suzy, Oracle
Big Question mark -- Richie, Royal, Writer
Madame wants to switch because she doesn't want to vote Writer. So then it becomes Herman/Suzy/Oracle on Royal -- which was my big mistake.
In Crossed Keys, we decide to blindside everyone and vote Madame. So these two plans are happening concurrently and I'm telling Richie everything about how the votes are going down. For some reason Royal votes Writer here for a 5-5 tie. If only I had distributed the numbers differently. I think I was just so nervous about the Madame vote and upsetting Gustave/Duke.
During the 24 hours for revote, I get a chance to honestly talk with Madame and Margot. Margot swears that she never floated my name to Richie/anyone. Madame says there's nothing in her chat of Madame/Margot/Richie that would indicate Margot trying to push me. I ask Richie about this and he says Madame is lying. I get the sense that Richie is manipulating me. He knows I wanted to cut Writer and instead I feel he fabricated this story about Margot. I try to win favor back with Gustave/Duke by saying I'm willing to flip.
Duke tells me he volunteered for mutiny and so Richie has been lying about the nature of his kidnapping. Margot says Richie was the one who said no Rushmores should be voted out. It seems like he's creating multiple paths, with or without me, and he just needed to be taken down a peg.
Richie has so few options though, so he needs me even though he probably hates that I did this.
He tells me Royal 100% flipped and Oracle and I decide to flip together so we don't go to rocks.
It's fine. Everything's fine. I think I'm still in an okay position and I don't really want Herman or Richie to go here. I think it's time for Royal to go.
Yours,
Suzy
-
wow, you got me good suzy. when i heard you'd leaked everything the blood legit drained from my arms with dread. the worst thing is i had you pegged as a sleeper threat but still trusted you, really well played.
i'm not mad but of course i wish this wasn't happening! you're very cool and i hope to be friends after the game. i'd offer you good luck, but i think i'm the one who's going to need it more!
Lol this is a message from Gustave. What even is this?
-
No one is talking to me. I may be doomed. Preemptively saying goodbye.
-
Is Richie trying to thwart me? He's supposed to be my #1 ally. God I hate him right now.
-
I hate Richie and I’m ready to make my game’s mission just destroying his game. I’ve become the joker.
-
Richie is a serial liar and I have Stockholm’s Syndrome. I love this for us.
-
Dear Joker,
What do you propose as the next step of your plan?
Yours,
Batman
-
Dear Batman,
Thank you for coming to my confess. It's very lonely here and I'm very glad you're here now.
I think the reason I am in this spot is because I thought I had so many options. I had too much hubris and now I've learned my lesson.
I thought I could be in 5Ivanhoe (Duke/Gustave/Oracle/Herman/me) AND still bring Richie as my #1 to the end.
I am going to reassess this thing with Richie. I don't trust a single word he says anymore. I'm going to try to regroup 4Vanhoe and hopefully get Royal/Margot/Madame out. I think Duke/Gustave absolutely cut me at the end so maybe Richie still needs to be there. Ugh my path to victory is very murky now.
I think at a certain point, I'm just going to unleash chaos. In all seriousness, I am ready to go to rocks here.
Yours,
The Joker

Can you fill us in on what went down near the end of the vote, and why you’re mad at Richie?
-
Can you fill us in on what went down near the end of the vote, and why you’re mad at Richie?
To be honest, I don't know what went down near the end of the vote. I had to leave for the exact hour before TC and I only returned after TC had already happened. I did tell Richie everything that was going on, like filling him on every single move we were making. Lol it's dumb and I shouldn't do that but I seriously still have so much attachment to him despite everything that's been said (like he volunteered to mutiny/lied about Margot pushing me). I thought 5Ivanhoe (old Ivanhoe minus Richie) were all voting Madame. I don't even know why it's such a problem if she knew? It surprised me that everyone switched.
Duke/Gustave/Oracle all thought I leaked the info and this is the point where I got super upset with Richie. He wasn't responding to any of my desperate pms and I had indeed leaked everything to him. I just can never be sure of what Richie is doing, and another reason not to share info so fully with him.
I think I've managed to patch things up and say it was a misunderstanding. I've adopted a totally clueless persona and I think because Gustave did float Madame's name to Royal (in what he claims he did in reverse psychology), the 3 of them are not that mad at me anymore.
Margot/Madame thought I was also the ringleader in this vote and it seems like Oracle really hung me out to dry.
How the game state has changed since then:
-Richie and I are talking again and he claims he still wants to go to the end with me. Not sure how true this is, but he really has very limited options. I wish I could trust him more though.
-Gustave/Duke/Oracle all seem like they still want to work with me...... big question mark here.
-I made a F2 deal with Madame lol. I think I would absolutely lose if I went to the end with her BUT you know what? she has become my favorite person and I'm so sick of everyone else here.
-
Lol Final 8 and I will answer the confessional prompt.
Who do you want to go home this TC?
I actually feel like I can choose whatever I want to a certain degree. I know I posted all this angry stuff about Richie but I think we've re-centered. I've not been sharing all the info with him but I think he would take me to the end. I can't win any challenges so I really need to be taken to the end.
Margot feels like the smart move but I've really grown to like her and Madame, who I have a F2 deal with.
I'm actually okay taking a swipe at Duke because things just feel really different/irreparable with him. I know Richie is a mastermind and a very good liar but what do you do when everyone around you also lies? Like I learned from Madame that she had a group chat with Duke and Oracle and I have heard 0 about this even though I have been sharing everything with Oracle. Not anymore!!
-
Are you willing to draw a rock here? And if so, how are you coming to terms with the fact that it could be you going home?
-
I'm not willing to go to rocks. I just wanted to buy some more time before I ultimately make some people very disappointed.
-
Lol I meant to be more online today. Oops!!!!
-
Final 6!!!!!!!
-
Suzy what is your plan from here? Do you have an ideal F3 at this point?
-
Yes, my genius plan!
In all seriousness, I committed to going to F2 with Richie as my first alliance. It was important for me to cut Writer so Richie had very few options. Despite my reservations about him (he probably has a clear plan he can demonstrate to the jury), I think I still want to go to the end with him. I'm thinking my ideal F3 at this point is Richie, Madame, and me? Or me/Richie/Margot? When the game first started, my ideal F3 would be my 2 pals Richie and Oracle but I have no idea how to even make that happen....
This game has been a wild ride though so a lot of my plans are just out the window. Duke leaving threw a somewhat sizable wrench into the plan.
-
Who is your target this round?
-
I'm trying to carefully think things through. I think Gustave going would not really change the game at all. I feel like I'm playing into Richie's game but it's also the path of least resistance towards the end? I'm not sure it's worth jeopardizing getting to the end to do something crazy?
Like I've thought what if Richie/Margot/Madame voted Gustave and me/Oracle/Gustave voted Oracle and went to rocks. Except probably Richie/Margot/Madame would just switch to Oracle and we would never go to rocks in that scenario.
Because of all the people exiting, I haven't had to actually make a stance known and it's hard, it's really hard to do this.
-
Oh yikes, Richie wants to cut Oracle here and am I ready to do something like that? An act of betrayal?
I usually consider myself so ruthless but it's very hard for me to cut Oracle/Gustave. I like the narrative of being part of the plucky underdog crew even when I've been closest to Richie this whole game.
-
So Margot went home! How do you feel about that? What is your plan for this round?
-
Additionally, it seems you never filled Richie in on the move. What was the reasoning there?
-
I actually feel very good about this and not something I thought could happen. Not sure why Madame suddenly felt okay doing that but I'm glad I made her feel safe enough to do this.
I'm in a huge pickle because I have promised basically everyone to go to the end together. This is a big predicament and I'm not sure how to get out of it.
Some part of that was irl circumstances. I was at the airport when all of this came together quickly with Madame. I didn't really have the bandwidth to also explain to Richie what I was doing. He was just going to tell me it was a bad idea and blah blah and I really didn't want to hear it lol. I also feel like I needed to make some moves of my own and not just follow his plan to getting at the end. I feel like I have an incredibly strong resume now and just need to make it to the end, whatever way possible.
Richie has always assured me Oracle is a veteran player and wouldn't be upset about making moves and I hope that sentiment is reciprocated by Richie.
-
Dear Diary,
I don’t know what it is about this game in particular but I feel so moody. Like since merge I’ve been moody. Maybe it’s because I trust others so little. Richie is mad at me for not trusting him more and yeah, that’s on me. He just has not felt that trustworthy and I could see in a different scenario, him apologizing but just cutting me loose. Maybe that’s unfair to him but he’s been thoroughly sneaky throughout the game.
I don’t know how trustworthy Oracle is either so I may just lean hard on Madame here.
I feel that I’m in a good spot but that everyone also hates me lol.
-
suzy's almost on a perfect game. no votes against that i remember, and only voted in the minority for the herman round when she wasn't here; pretty great stuff!
we're all poised to make it to the final 3 together, after just over a month, having been together the whole game. it's been great; only two rounds left barring something bizarre and unexpected from the setup.
This is something Gustave sent to our 3Vanhoe group chat. Lol I think he is onto me….
-
Would you have wanted to vote Richie here if he wasn’t immune, or would your preference have always been one of the other 3? Who do you most want out of those available here?
-
I think I’ve always wanted to go to the end with Richie! It’s nice to see plans from the beginning coming true!
I think I want FTC to be me/Richie/Oracle or me/Richie/Madame. I feel like Madame is my favorite person but she’s the only person I don’t 100% win against.
-
Can you explain why you're voting Gustave here?
-
Lol. I shouldn't have I guess. I wanted to go to the end with Madame/Oracle/Richie and so that left out Gustave.
I'm feeling really upset everyone. Like way more upset about a Survivor game before. This one hurts a lot and I'm pretty excited to just crusade against Richie at the finals.
-
It seems so like Richie to be saying that going to the end with me and Madame would have been a celebration. That definitely would have happened had he wanted that. He unilaterally decided to vote me out and "was left with no choice but to vote Madame" at F4.
I'm beginning to find him incredibly distasteful and annoying.
-
Am I actually considering voting for Richie here?
I preemptively made this for Oracle but who knows now. Good thing we have another day to think about this.
(https://i.imgur.com/01H58wl.png)
-
What's occurring that's causing you to maybe change your mind on Richie?
-
I think Richie was very genuine in his relationship with me but I think I can't shake the feeling off that I was mistreated. I think part of why I wanted to blindside Margot/Richie was because I felt like Richie had never really shared enough information with me. I don't think Oracle would have cut me/had so many secrets throughout this whole journey.
I respect how much he wants to win. I play hard too.
A lot of my anger has also subsided.
You all will just have to wait and see what I end up choosing though!
