Psychological Control

In the first tribal council after the merger, Mario was eliminated.

When Mario's torch was extinguished, his expression did not fluctuate, obviously not surprised by the result.On the way to the tribal meeting, he told me that he knew the result.He will leave this meeting.In the end he became the first judge on the jury.

Before leaving, he gave Austin and me a cheering gesture.The elimination of Mario allowed the three tribes to get a balance point, which means that the situation has become even more unclear.If I work hard at this time, there will be a great possibility to pull either the strength or the wisdom to our side.But I don't want to.

I can't eliminate Dillon for the time being, because of that gentleman's agreement.In other words, it is impossible for me to win over the Wisdom Tribe to attack the Power Tribe immediately.Furthermore, the Wisdom Tribe has Casey, a woman who has a very clear analysis of the situation, and it is unrealistic to form a solid alliance with them now.

On the other hand, if you win over the Power Tribe and attack the Wisdom Tribe.Then I would easily put Rhett in danger and expose the possibility of him possessing the hidden idol early.And the contestants in the Power Tribe are even more of a threat in the Challenger League.Not to mention Dillon, who worries me the most.

Therefore, I would rather use someone else's hands to clean the room for me first, and then form a new alliance in the end.

When the Beauty Tribe is strong, everyone regards us as the enemy.But what if there are only two of us left, one?Then we will become free tickets.Become a sweet pastry for the power tribe and the wisdom tribe to compete for.And after Austin left, Anna's most trusted ally was me, and she didn't have to believe in her betrayal for a short time.

While making yourself a free agent does carry risks, opportunities always come with risks.And I don't intend to just let myself be a free ticket to be scrambled for, I want to perform a Jedi survival in front of the screen.Nothing in the history of Survivor is more memorable than a brilliant mind game.

Oh sure, the shark hunt doesn't count.Maybe this accident was an experience given to me by God?Or an eye-popping gift.

Well, the next person to go is Austin.

"The second personal immunity competition, start!" With Jeff's order, everyone started to act.

We were blindfolded and placed in a huge artificial maze.And we need to collect five necklaces representing gold, wood, water, fire, and earth elements in the maze, and take the necklaces to the center of the maze.The first person to hold all the necklaces and stand in front of their name tag in the center of the maze wins.

Honestly, neither I nor the original Brian had a huge flaw.We are all road idiots.The addition of the two did not make us negative.So this time, all my pins are on Rhett.

The sooner our agreement with Dillon can be annulled, the better, even if I still don't intend to join other people this time and vote Dillon out.But it is also good that there is no prerequisite for not being allowed to vote him out.

"Red is making the fastest progress! He has already got his first fire, and walking in the maze is like having a map in front of him! He is not confused about the direction at all... On the other side, Dillon is also chasing, he is The water area is hovering, and it is about to approach the target." Jeff's explanation was so loud that the nine of us in the entire maze could hear it.

I am really a little passive and sabotage, but I can't just stand still and circle around, it seems that I give up too easily.So I just groped and walked aimlessly along the walls.Then I felt like I hit a wall of hot, hard flesh all of a sudden.

"Oh...! Brian, who seemed extremely confused about his situation, suddenly bumped into Dillon who had returned with the first elemental water! It seems that even the siren can't help him in the water area located on the land What about it?" Jeff's commentary voice with a smile sounded at the right time, letting me know who the person in front of me was.

Even though my eyes were covered by blindfolds and no one could see them, I couldn't help but roll my eyes skyward.Then I quickly stepped back a few steps, trying to stay within one meter of Dillon.It didn't work, and the arm was caught by him.

"What a coincidence, Brian. I've been feeling like you're wandering around aimlessly in this area just now. Have you given up fighting for personal immunity this time?" Dillon's voice was even more intense when I was blindfolded and couldn't see. caught my attention.Now in the game, he still has leisure to chat with me?Is it certain that in the current situation, no one can vote him out?

"Not yet. But if you continue to drag me here to talk, the two of us will basically give up." I pulled off his hand that was holding my arm, and said angrily.After the shark hunt, Dillon and I became more and more acquainted.

Although I didn't like his approach, what surprised me was that I didn't subconsciously feel disgusted by his behavior.Only Chris has ever been able to get that close without making me feel uncomfortable.

I allowed Chris to step into mine, and let my guard down to let Chris approach, because I thought I could completely overwhelm Chris and analyze and control his thoughts and heart easily.But Dillon?He is the complete opposite.He should have made me put up my whole body defense subconsciously and refuse his approach.

His eyes were blindfolded, so he couldn't see Dillon's usual serious expression and long-term pursed lips.So instead, I heard Dillon's helplessness and a hint of a smile in his voice.

"Red got his third element, and now he has three necklaces of fire, earth, and gold. He only needs two of water and wood to complete the task. On the other side, Dillon finally broke free from the siren Brian's beauty trick. I thought Dillon would be lured into the deep sea by the sirens like the legendary sailors!" Jeff did not forget to bring some humor to the show while broadcasting the battle live.

With an experienced host style that goes all the way, Jeff's words made several people in the maze laugh.It can be seen that the effect of this cold humor is still good.What Jeff said was not without merit.After the shark hunting incident that shocked everyone, during the two days in the camp, Dillon kept trying to talk to me in secret, all of which were noticed by other contestants in the tribe.

I don't know what his motivations were, but I didn't want other people to think we were too close.In addition to the possibility of shaking the stability of the alliance he belongs to, such as Anna's worries and Austin's suspicions, it may also make Casey of the Wisdom Tribe more interested in getting rid of me as soon as possible.I didn't want to get myself into trouble until I had cleared the room by their hands and let Austin go.

But... the real reason, in fact, only I know best in my heart.All the concerns about the alliance are just superficial reasons.

Dillon had a huge psychological impact on me.Just like the scene just now.When facing Dillon, I speak subconsciously and blurt out without thinking.Generally speaking, I won't say nonsense like the kind of nonsense that can easily cause ambiguity in the listener's understanding.

Maybe he didn't do it intentionally, but just a few words from him can make my mood fluctuate obviously, and the words are too much to think about.It's too dangerous.Such obvious mood swings should not happen to an antisocial personality.

It is good to have the feelings of normal people, but what I need is gradual treatment.Just like what Chris can do.Not a guy like Dillon who can make the chemical dopamine in my brain over-secrete suddenly and intensely.

Yes, in the past few days I have been in contact with him, and I finally found out... When I saw him for the first time, the affection I had for him did not fade away just because he found out about Rhett and I. do.Instead, it was buried deeper because of this, and from time to time it broke through the siege of reason and made trouble for me.

"Dillon got his fourth element, but at this time Rhett had left the water area without hesitation, and quickly ran to the center of the maze! I have to say, Spencer Rhett deserves to be young He got three doctoral degrees and two master's degrees. His memory is astonishingly terrifying! All the way, he has never touched the direction indicator in the maze."

The road he had traveled was all in his head.Listening to Jeff's live broadcast, I lightly picked up the water element necklace that I had finally found.He is a little Dr. Bau who is very good at geographic profiling. Even Dillon can't be better at this challenge than him.

"Red has obtained personal immunity this time, and one person will be eliminated from the tribal meeting tonight!" Jeff officially announced.

I pulled off the blindfold in front of my eyes, the glare of the sun made my eyes which had been adapted to the darkness suddenly sore and unable to open, leaving physiological tears.The lens of the following photographer suddenly poked in front of me.

Rhett was granted personal immunity, and Dillon's agreement with us was void.Because we only agreed that when he didn't get personal immunity for the first time, he couldn't be eliminated.In return, he would not tell the program crew about my private contact with Red.Perhaps he himself didn't expect that this agreement would be voided so quickly, right?

...Or, he intentionally invalidated the agreement to lower my vigilance?

Before going to the tribal meeting tonight, I will try my best to persuade her to give up the idea of ​​voting me out in front of Kathy, a woman who is extremely calm.Austin has to go, and I'm going to guide Kathy on that without a trace.

After returning to the tribe, the beautiful tribe without Mario's leadership looks like a mess on the surface.Or at least Austin looked like a mouse trapped in a mousetrap, anxious to find Sandra, who he thought was the most promising.

Watching Austin pull Sandra towards the deserted coast, I gave Anna a calm look, focused my attention on Casey who was alone in the camp, and then said: Analyze the situation with her.

"Anna, you don't have to worry. No matter what, you won't be the one who will be out tonight. It's only me and Austin who are in danger." I said to her in a voice that only Anna and I could hear, "O Sting wouldn't use you as a shield, and I certainly wouldn't. I'm confident Dillon wouldn't have agreed to vote me out if Sandra had been persuaded."

In fact, between me and Dillon, apart from agreeing that I would not vote him out when he didn't get personal immunity for the first time, he has no obligation to keep me in the game.But my bet is that even if I didn't make him formally pledge not to vote for me, he wouldn't choose to vote for me.

Although Dillon is not what he appears on the surface, he is a dull and straightforward soldier.But even if he has the city in his chest, he would prefer Yangmou's mastery and planning, rather than the insidious and cunning stabbing in the back.

And yesterday and today, Dillon has been wanting to talk to me, which is seen by everyone in the tribe.Although it was showing Dillon's hot head, it was enough for me to confuse Ana, making her think that I was indeed sure to stay in the game.Seeing me have more certainty than Austin, but not so sure that I can abandon her as an existing ally and stick to Dillon.

"As long as you don't help Austin behind your back tonight, that's enough. I don't need another surrender letter from you. I just hope that our previous alliance agreement will still work." I finally said to Anna who promised repeatedly, and then turned around He walked towards Casey who was sitting not far away.

Behind the bushes, there is nothing but the chirping of insects and birds.Casey stood in front of me with her hands folded impatiently, as if she was expressing 'see what you can say, boy, you can't change my mind anyway'.She didn't even try to hide her emotions from me, put a stinky face in front of the camera.

If it was someone else, such as Austin, they would give up the idea of ​​talking to her directly because of this.But I won't, I can't be provoked by such a small provocation like her.

"Kathy, I don't think we talked much after the merger." I smiled unaffectedly, and drama has always been my specialty. "I want to talk to you about the alliance between your tribe of wisdom and the tribe of power."

Kathy still had a stinky face, but her eyes moved slightly.It showed her surprise at my performance and my first words.Maybe she is expecting me to question her, why does she have such a problem with me?No, I'm not that stupid.

The best thing lawyers can hope for in court is to let their opponents fall into their logic.As long as they follow their rhythm, the winning rate is almost [-]%.If you don't come up with something that surprises them, there will be a stalemate in court.

"Oh? I think Brian, you should be from the Beauty Tribe. What does our alliance have to do with you?" Casey said.

In order to seize the initiative in the conversation, she set me up again.Opening my mouth and putting me in the beauty tribe, if I accidentally followed her way of thinking and opened my mouth and shut up the beauty tribe, then I wanted to pick myself out at the beginning, and the idea of ​​letting Austin out was not so good I spoke.

"You know it's the merger stage now, what's the difference between tribes and tribes? I think you will pay more attention to personal interests." I diverted her topic again and brought the conversation back to my own topic.

"You are a smart man, Casey, and you don't speak dark words. I know that your alliance with the Power Tribe will bring you benefits. The characters of Sandra and Dillon are doomed that they will not take the initiative to betray your alliance. But have you ever considered one of the most glaring disadvantages?"

"Interesting, bad? What's bad? Our alliance is stable, and we kicked you out of the game one by one. The situation is very good for us." Casey obviously didn't care about my words.

"The most obvious disadvantage is that they are power tribes." I raised my eyebrows and opened my mouth and said, "In the individual immunity competition, the advantages in physical strength and strength will give them more chances of winning the game than your wisdom tribe." Possibly. And Selena doesn't seem like a worry-free alliance member like Rhett."

"If you vote me out now, Anna and Austin will also be out without accident. What's next? You and Dillon will form a three-on-three situation again. Maybe you will want to win over Jane, because Jane It is the only unstable factor in the power tribe. But if Dillon and Sandra sing all the way in the subsequent games, they will get personal immunity. Are you sure that Selena will not betray?"

"It's Rhett who won the personal immunity today! You want to use the saying that they are a threat in the game to make me change my mind about forming an alliance with them and instead form an alliance with your beautiful tribe? This is too fantastic!" Casey Showed complete disapproval, "And you should also know why I insisted on voting for you first, beautiful smart man, you are too easy to win over others."

"Today was an accident, you know. Personal immunity is most likely to be an endurance competition. Are you sure that Rhett or you can beat Dillon and Sandra?" My tone fluctuated. No change, the speed of speaking also remained stable, and he analyzed with her clearly.

Casey's complexion became a little ugly, obviously she also knew the way the survivors liked to play in the late game.Although the endurance competition is a struggle of willpower at the end, the power tribe with better physique still has a much greater advantage than them.

Their physical strength can guarantee that they will use their willpower to move back in time. Maybe after Casey's willpower reaches the limit, their physical strength is not even used up.When Dillon or Sandra consistently win personal immunity, the tribal rights initiative falls into their hands.

Selena seems to be such an active person, it's impossible that she hasn't made small moves recently.As long as Selena is close to the people of the power tribe and tries to deepen the bond, Casey will definitely have the worry about betrayal I mentioned.

"I don't want you to turn to form an alliance with us, but I have a suggestion. You should save yourself a backhand." Seeing that Casey looked loose, I began to try to express my purpose. "I won't try to convince you by maintaining the three-person advantage of the Beautiful Tribe. But as long as one more member of the original Beautiful Tribe is removed tonight, we will become the weak ones in the tripartite confrontation."

"Underdogs, or free tickets. Free tickets that are more useful than Jane. If you choose to form an alliance with the remaining two of us, first of all, we will not have the physical advantages of Dillon and the others, and we will not have Jane's hesitation, nor will we Will not leave you unavailable after Selena's betrayal."

Kathy finally looked at me with a different expression. She nodded in satisfaction and said, "You are right, but why should I keep you? Aren't Anna and Austin a better choice?"

"You know, they don't look as smart as you. The ability to analyze the situation you showed in front of me will make me very worried in the later stage. You are a more difficult character than I imagined." She looked I was moved by my suggestion when I came out, but I still had some doubts.

"You want to get rid of me first because I'm the smartest one in the beautiful tribe?" I made a funny look, and used a tone of talking to a friend to let her relax her guard against me.

"Austin and Anna's performance on weekdays, don't you think they are like a young couple? Leaving the two of them together is equivalent to having a pair in a hand. And a pair in this game In the arms, it’s not as easy to use as two good scattered cards.” I shrugged and deliberately weakened the negotiation posture I showed before, letting her relax and fall into my thinking track.

"There are more people bound together than you alone, and they may backfire at any time. Two people who can be separated form an alliance with you, then you will become the central point."

This sentence finally made Kathy's frown loose. She fell into my thinking trap, ignoring the reason why Anna and I still have a stronger bond than her.Even if Ana and Austin were indeed a couple, breaking them up does help her take center stage in the alliance.But both Anna and I are still from the original beauty tribe.

What's more, Anna and I have a stronger bond than that so-called couple relationship.The benefits of forming a hidden alliance in advance are reflected here.

"Okay, so what exactly do you want?" Casey let go, changing his attitude towards the enemy into a tone of discussion. "Tell me about your plan."

"Kick out Austin tonight, and I will form an alliance with you. Then you can win over Anna, and we will attack the Power Tribe in turn. Kick out Dillon and Sandra one by one. The rest of the situation will be scattered." The card is up, you can choose to continue our alliance, except the restless Jane and Selena." I made a look that I was completely considerate of her.

...

After a while of silence, Casey finally responded, "Okay, I will trust you this time."

"Then you have to quickly convince your current allies Dillon and the others. Before I came, I saw Austin took Dillon, and they went to the beach to talk. They might kick you out of the game in turn." I blinked, and finally cast another weight, completely eliminating the possibility that she might regret it later.

When a negotiation is over, it's not really over.If you want to make the other party not want to appeal for a comeback, you can only give her a bigger problem, so that she has no time to look back and worry about other things in a short time.

In the second tribal meeting after the merger, Austin was eliminated as scheduled.

Under Dillon's scrutinizing gaze and Kathy's pressure, I laughed.The bonfire we sat around at the tribal meeting was so warm that it dazzled people's eyes.

Whether Kathy regrets her decision after tonight's tribal meeting is none of my business.I borrowed her hand and cleaned the room.And the next one to be fired is the cleaning servant.When the house is clean enough, leaving a servant with too many thoughts in his head is not a good thing.

I'm not going to follow the so-called 'plan' I told her before the tribal meeting tonight, it's just smoke bombs.Casey is a smart person, as long as you go back tonight and think about it, you will find that the situation is not as simple as I said.At the tribal meeting, Anna didn't make a strong statement about Austin's departure, which was a big flaw.

It's time to use my relationship with Red, because at the next tribal council, I'm going to need the hidden Immune Idol that Red found.After Kathy found out that I had lied to her, she would only be extremely angry and try her best, even if it was to confess the deception I had done to her, to ensure that the Power Tribe would vote for me.

And Rhett and I will perform a secret alliance trick in front of the film crew.Just like I did with Anna before, only this time Rhett and I were just acting.

I will show in front of the camera that I have tried my best to convince Red to form a secret alliance with me, and get his hidden immunity statue in a fair manner.Acting has never been difficult for me, Rhett just has to follow my lead.

Then at the next tribal meeting, the three of us, Ana Reid and I, will vote for Casey.Casey got other people to vote for me.But I'll surprise her by using the Idol of Hidden Immunity before calling the vote.Then the vote for me will be automatically ignored, and Casey, as the second person with the most votes, will be eliminated!
