Pushed to the Test

Pushed to the Test is the twelfth episode of Survivor: Indonesia.

Night 30
"balut"

- I definitely thought that Tamara would be go home, but I'm just assuming that there was a discrepancy in the plan and that some people voted for the wrong person. The order they go out in doesn't matter, but I think that it'd be so much better if it happened my way.

"balut"

- I decided it'd be smarter to vote for Louisa because if push comes to shove I can have the backup plan in Brian. Although he is a huge threat, he doesn't seem to be too popular among other people.

"balut"

- I've somehow been able to survive another tribal council, but this time I did end up getting votes which isn't something I'm too happy about. Overall, I hope that I can turn the group on each other, either getting them against Arthur or Brian as they seem like the best option.

"balut"

- There are seven of us left, and I already know my three. The question is, how am I going to get rid of the other four. Brian and Evangeline are huge threats, they're like the last two bosses before the last boss in some video games. They're going to be tough, but Billy and Arthur are going to be my second and third players.

"balut"

- Tamara is gone, and that leaves Evangeline and I as the last original Semeru members. I'm hoping that I'm the last person from the tribe standing because when I get pushed to the test I'm not someone to mess with.

Day 31
"balut"

- I'm really concerned about Louisa. She is the only thing that is really in my way, and that's quite surprising as she is probably the worst player here! She can't play or vote right if her life depended on it.

"balut"

- I'm walking by and I hear Brian talking trash about me. I don't understand why he's being this harsh, but if he's going to play this game, I'm going to play back.

"balut"

- I'm sick and tired of this Brian and Louisa conflict. They're like two little preschoolers fighting over the same toy, one of them is going to get it, and now it depends who does.

"balut"

- I think I can really manipulate the current situation involving Brian and Louisa because they are babies in adult bodies. Brian may be a bit harder to convince, but he seems so involved in emotions now, there's no stopping him.

"balut"

- I had this idea, and I think keeping Brian may be better because he is a big meat shield, and our fights will just paint a bigger target on his back. He'd also be pretty despised on the jury, so maybe taking him and Evangeline would be the best option for me.

"balut"

- One down, one to go! Brian may be harder, but I'm ready to put in the work for the reward that will come out of it. (laughs)

"balut"

- I'm watching Evangeline work her magic on Louisa and Brian, the gamebot himself! She is a very dangerous player, and although she is amazing, she is doing one thing wrong and that is showing her hand to everyone not involved in the situation. It gives people incentive to get rid of her, and I think the time may be coming soon.

"balut"

- Evangeline is ready to get rid of Louisa next and I honestly believe that she has a very good point there. We were the only two to vote for Louisa yesterday and I feel a small bond to her now, more than what we had before.

"balut"

- Kevin is telling me about how we should do Brian and Evangeline soon because they're huge threats. If we get rid of those two, it leaves the core three and Michelle, and I believe that I could beat Kevin and Michelle, not Kevin and Arthur, so I may need to turn on him at the final four. I may be looking ahead too much, but I need to be ready to win.

"balut"

- I'm really happy that we have so many overly strategic players because it has and always will let me fly under the radar completely and nobody will know until I make it to the end.

"balut"

- It honestly bothers me that everyone is already getting for final tribal council. I'm not bothered by people offering me to be in their final threes, it's perfect for me! (laughs)

"balut"

- To get to see my wife after being away from her for a month is amazing. I get to talk to her, and tell her about my experience so far. She can give me some useful insight and it's really exciting.

"balut"

- I'm pretty surprised that I got to come on this reward as Arthur and I don't really have the best concrete bond, but I honestly think that he genuinely chose me without any game reasoning.

"balut"

- The bonds created here definitely won't be forgotten, and I know that I can could utilize this to my own advantage to advance through the last eight days with no complications.

"balut"

- Kevin decides to tell us about his double vote advantage and how at any tribal council he can whip it out in the voting booth and cast a second vote without anybody knowing. This is a huge power and I'm glad he told me. I almost told him that I had an idol and legacy advantage after this, but I decided to keep it as a secret of my own!

"balut"

- I did this move to see if Evangeline had anything and it seems like she doesn't. This is a good sign because I might blindside her soon and knowing that she is nothing to worry about really calms my nerves down.

"balut"

- I was so close to getting to have a picnic with my brother but Arthur picks Evangeline over me. What the hell? I was supposed to have a final three deal with him and I'm not too sure. I understand why everyone else is mad, but I have even more of a reason to be mad.

"balut"

- Arthur definitely rubbed a lot of people the wrong way with his decision. He picked Kevin again and left some people in the dark. I was really hoping to go with my boyfriend and Brian was hoping to with his boyfriend. Louisa didn't even have a loved one show up, but she still thinks she deserved the reward! It's a mess!

"balut"

- Nobody came for me! I guess I could understand why as most of my family is quite distant. My ex-husband would never come, my siblings hate me, my parents are dead, my cousin, aunts, and uncles all live around the globe and my co-workers are too busy. I was left with nobody, so they just got some random crew member to do it with me! I didn't even know this guy!

Day 32
"balut"

- Tensions are still running pretty high after the whole loved one situation yesterday. It is creating a divide and I don't need it at the moment. Louisa is a target that everyone can agree on, but if things get divided, the people who went on reward, and the people who didn't go on reward excluding myself will fight each other.

"balut"

- Michelle brings up a good point with her observations. Billy and Arthur seem to be at each other's throats and we need to be unified just for one more day, one more! It seems almost impossible.

"balut"

- The immunity challenge is coming and I'm getting a bit nervous as the scenario I have in mind may be ruined if the surprising challenge beast Arthur wins another challenge as I plan to have a split vote between Arthue and Louisa.

"balut"

- I need to make the crack between everyone and Arthur even larger than it is now. The plan is for me to gather Michelle, Billy, and Brian and get them to vote out Arthur.

"balut"

- Louisa has the complete audacity to come up to me and try to vote Arthur, after she does all the stuff she has done to me. She simply needs to go to keep the peace and to get rid of her for my own personal needs.

"balut"

- I get wind of the plan to get rid of me from Louisa and Michelle said that Brian said yes to this and I'm confused. We were supposed to be working together but I'm doubting his loyalty anymore.

"balut"

- I know that Brian said yes just to calm Louisa down, but causing some chaos and setting Arthur to be the next target by blowing his game up. I don't think it will backfire, but if it does then oh well. (shrugs)

"balut"

- The split vote is planned to be 3 people voting for Arthur and 3 people voting for Louisa, and I do genuinely believe that Arthur shouldn't get three votes, but dictator Brian wants it his way and if he doesn't get it, he'll make a big deal and have a fit. Better hope that Louisa doesn't have any tricks up her sleeves.

Voting Confessionals
"balut"

- (voting for Louisa) You are the biggest cockroach on this island and I can't wait to light you on fire.

"balut"

- (voting for Arthur) The cracks are wide open and you're going to be the one going home tonight.

Final Words
"balut"

- I don't know what the actual  went on and I don't know who betrayed me, but whoever did is the worst player on the island. Why would you get rid of me? I was everyone's closest ally and I was betrayed. Whatever happened, I'm still pissed and I'm still in shock.
