As the two tribes settled into their new lives and new positions, everyone struggled to find their position on their tribe
Uzume continued their winning streak, buying more time for Rellizuraddixion, TeamJacz, and Useamintto win favor with Maxiphone, who they had previously neglected on Suijin, and after seeing BenP428 eliminated on the other tribe, had felt the heat on them for the first time. AJ1111, However, did find a friend in Maxiphone. Meanwhile Dumbginger and Peccadillo had resolved their issues that they had back on the former Kagutsumi tribe and made it their mission to lay back and wait for the right time to strike.
Tsukuyomi had been sent to a tailspin after returning from tribal council, the former members of the Raijin Tribe, ForyouSelena, Kickass93, and Cgy_Gayz had brought in LaughingOutLoud into their fold, who willingly gave up his former tribemate and personal rival, BenP428. Leaving Austino and Bowling4fun cornered. When the vote came between the two former Kagutsuchi members, and good friends, Bowling4fun hatched a plan to target the votes onto himself and at a shocking tribal council CGY was blindsided when the hidden immunity idol was used, sending him out with just two votes.

Tsukuyomi Post Tribal Council:
Bowling4fun was conflicted with tribal council, while he knew he made the right call by protecting himself and his friend Austino, he didn't want to use his idol so soon. He didn't have any protection anymore and his only option was to start winning again.
ForyouSelena was shocked, mad, and confused. Austino and Bowling had really set them up. It was a good play, but it would have been a better play if she did it. Without CGY, she knew that her friendship with Kickass93 would only get stronger. and LaughingOutLoud was going to be important too.
Kickass93 didn't want CGY to go, he was a snake and the most shady person in the game, but he was HER snake. and even if they didn't become friends until later on, there was a nice respect and understanding between them.
Austino was impressed. At the start of the game, he never thought he'd be able to work with Bowling4fun. But Bowling4fun knew how to play the game, he could lie and manipulate. It was the best protection that Austino had. But Austino was just holding on a bit longer- just so he could see his Peccadillo again.
With CGY gone, LaughingOutLoud has sensed that the dynamics were changing. Two Raijin and Two Kagutsuchi, with him sandwiched in the middle. This game was about making survival, maybe there was a better way to survive?
****Immunity Challenge*****
Uzume took at look at the new Tsukuyomi, with CGY missing, AJ1111 was a bit surprised, no other reactions came out.
The challenge was a puzzle, they needed to connect a set of interlocking gears that would work together to move a dial and raise a flag. in a VERY close match, UZUME once again took the win. Having Tsukuyomi lose for the third time in a row.
**Tribal Life**
*Uzume*
This was Rellizuraddixion's seventh immunity win in a row! excited wasn't the right word....there was no word that he could think of that could properly explain his feelings. But even if he had yet to go to tribal council, he always reminded himself that he was still in a game. A game he didn't want to lose.
TeamJacz knew that he had to keep his friends together and while Rellizuraddixion had always acted like the leader before, with Benp gone, REllizuraddixion didn't have the same armor that he had before, causing a strange shift. Useamint and Rellizuraddixion were now coming to him for everything. He still had a plan, have Useamint win over Maxiphone.
Useamint knew what he was doing was half fake and half real. He wanted to be nice to Maxiphone, he always had, but the game didn't allow it before. So it was nice to start to really develop a relationship with him. In turn, he began to speak to AJ1111. and the more Useamint thought about it, the more that he started to think that he'd be playing the game wrong the whole time. He hid himself in a group, while they were loyal, Useamint had never really thought for himself yet...There were so many options out there.why didn't he think of this before?
AJ1111 liked spending time with Maxiphone, but honestly Useamint annoyed him. and he KNEW that Useamint was just being pushed on them like it was some weird playdate that Rellizuraddixion and TeamJacz wanted. It was awkward, but Useamint even made a few jokes at Rellizuraddixion's expense... so that was nice.
Dumbginger thought he worked best as an outsider looking in. old Sui was desperate to keep it together. Though Useamint seemed to get more and more flaky and he didn't know how much Maxiphone was buying it all. All he wanted to do was work hard and see where that got him.
Peccadillo was worried about Austino, they had been apart for so long and his stance on the other tribe was just so hard to read. Couldn't they just be together now? Despite how strong Peccadillo's tribe was, they were just a social mess. it was just a circle of kiss ass and for no real reason. So gross.
Maxiphone was a celebrity, he even had his own personal assistant in AJ1111. It was about keeping everyone happy, and making sure everyone thought he was with them. He had so far avoided making any solid promises to Useamint...or to anyone yet....he knew when he made his first move, it would determine the rest of his game. In the meantime, everyone was full of smiles and compliments and who doesn't like compliments?
**Tsukoyomi**
Kickass93 knew that last time, they fucked up, and they fucked up hard. They got got and it costed them CGY. No more fucking around, they needed to clean up the mess that they started.
Austino was playing the game for himself, and was playing it for Peccadillo. He just wanted them to be together. Though he was shy and didnt' think much for himself, he knew that it was time to try. joined with Bowling4fun, they reached out to LaughingOutLoud...seeing as there were two tribes with two people together that were clearly working together (Kickass/ForYouSelena) (Austino/Bowling4fun) it made sense to go to LaughingOutLoud and to see if they could work out a deal. After talking it out, LaughingOutLoud seemed interested with Kickass's name being brought up...and he was well liked and a popularity threat. after Bowling4fun walked away Austino gave him a deal. "I can get you to the final three with me and Peccadillo"
ForYouSelena was a bit concerned with Austino and Bowling4fun, Bowling4fun was smart, Austino couldn't think for himself...and also was a complete liar....Selena and Kickass agreed that although Austino was a liar, he was also a sheep and would be easier to work with later or eliminate if they needed to. When they brought this to LaughingOutLoud, all Laughing could do was smile.
Bowling4fun was annoyed when Austino stayed behind to talk to Laughing...weren't they a family? weren't they a team? How annoying... Although Laughing had chosen to work with Raijin before, maybe with their numbers lower he figured it'd be best to switch sides now. Choose the better team. A little later, LaughingOutLoud went with him to get some water, he started asking about Peccadillo...which seemed a bit strange, but he answered honestly. He thought the more transparent he was with Laughing the better...it's been how he'd played the game so far and he was still here... So when he started to talk about the Austino/Peccadillo showmance, LaughingOutLoud's eyes lit up and he said to bowling4fun, "I'm glad you guys have so much loyalty"
"how do I always get into these situations?" LaughingOutloud thought to himself. Once again, he was the swing vote. Austino had offered him a final three deal with Peccadillo, which seemed like it would really screw with Bowling4fun, but it was a good deal nonetheless; while kickass and Selena came up with their plan to vote out Bowling4fun...It was a hard choice to make, but he knew what he had to do and needed to speak to someone real quickly--because there was a correct choice to make and he needed to switch it up.
**Tribal Council**
Tsukuyomi came to tribal council for the 3rd time. They started to talk about Loyalty, which they all agreed was important, but the question is who you were loyal to?
Vote 1: Kickass93
Vote 2: Austino
Vote 3: Austino
Vote 4: Kickass93
Vote 5: Austino
Austino, with 3 votes, that's enough...The tribe has spoken.
Austino lowers his head as his torch is snuffed. He walks off.
11 Survivors remain, who will be voted out next? Who will win?
