TKS David Vs. Goliath (Season 5)

Quite possibly the best season of my series so far. Holy crap this one was amazing, from start to finish. Naturally, I must thank my cast of 20 Kovaze users, 10 being what I deem as 'Davids' (underdogs) and 'Goliaths' (top dogs). So I'll be sure to thank them here, and then give a synopsis of each episode this season, since it was fantastic: AngieKStan brookie cullenistehbest Dakota Fire Gabs Ghutch joeburrow Kallie MarieEve MrsChloeKayCecci Nettles Raai revi_ren starrydash Tailslover13 Thiii Thumper91 Wigglytuff Zofry EPISODE 1 - revi_ren and Raai get things started on the right foot for the Davids by taking down starrydash and Fire in the opening reward. cullenistehbest finds themselves an idol, and then at the Goliath's tribal council, the Cincinnati Bengals' quarterback yet again bungles away their greatness by being the first one packing 7-3 over a Pokemon (AKA Wigglytuff). EPISODE 2 - The rise of the superpowered MrsChloeKayCecci begins as they find themselves an idol, and this is just the start of their reign of terror. cullenistehbest has a major meltdown, agonizing over whether they should play their idol or not, ultimately deciding to gamble by NOT playing it. This proves to be a costly mistake, as they're sent packing over Nettles in a 7-3 vote. EPISODE 3 - Unhappy about being the backup target, Nettles finds an idol! AngieKStan goes berserk, melting down over losing the challenge, picking a fight with MrsChloeKayCecci, and then leaving their five-person alliance! Despite ALL this insanity, the Goliaths ultimately decide that they simply do not want a Pokemon on their team, so they send Wigglytuff out over AngieKStan 7-2. EPISODE 4 - Following some fighting on the Goliath tribe, the Davids have to decide between meek Zofry and threatening Thumper91. Despite Tailslover13 wanting Thumper91 out, the tribe goes against his wishes and sends Zofry packing instead, 7-2. EPISODE 5 - Tribes are swapped, and Raai gets sent to exile, where they find an idol nullifier. Dakota, Fire, and Thiii have lots of lovey-dovey bonding going on between the three of them. The insane AngieKStan finds themselves an idol...and promptly melts down over it for some reason, which causes MarieEve to join them in melting down. Following a brookie meltdown, Kallie decides to randomly leave their alliance! This baffling decision results in an even more baffling decision at tribal, as Nettles plays their idol on Kallie...where they get 0 votes. Instead, Nettles themselves is voted out unanimously 4-1. EPISODE 6 - Raai rejoins the game...and promptly finds an idol to go with their idol nullifier! This apparently enrages brookie and Kallie so much both of them go berserk and start fighting with both Ghutch and Gabs (yet strangely not Raai themselves). Tempress AngieKStan is back at it, picking a major fight with MrsChloeKayCecci, which prompts more fighting to go on around them with Thumper91, MarieEve, and starrydash. Tailslover13 then gets his tribe to vote out Fire at tribal to keep his fellow Davids safe, 3-1-1. EPISODE 7 - Another day, more fighting! MarieEve and starrydash are at it this time, and starrydash wears themselves out from this duel. brookie has another meltdown of their own, which terrifies Raai into wasting their idol on themselves...despite getting no votes at tribal. Instead, fed up with all the fighting, brookie is finally sent home for their behavior, 4-1. EPISODE 8 - It's merge time! The original Davids hold a slim 7-6 numbers edge. Tailslover13 manages to snag individual immunity. Despite Kallie trying to flip on the Davids, it doesn't matter, as the vote split winds up in MarieEve becoming the first member of the jury in a 7-3-3 vote. EPISODE 9 - Tailslover13 finds himself a vote steal! The silent yet powerful Ghutch then wins immunity, seemingly continuing the streak of good luck for the Davids! Unfortunately, the game is about to be flipped upside down for the Davids...permanently. Chaotic AngieKStan plays their idol on Dakota at tribal, negating 4 votes for them. A very close 4-3-1 vote then takes David Kallie out of the game, and things only go downhill from there. EPISODE 10 - Frustrated with last tribal's vote, a motivated Tailslover13 wins immunity again. Then, when the vote comes down to two former Davids, they ultimately decide to sacrifice Thumper91 at last in a 6-3-1-1 vote, continuing to weaken the once-powerful Davids. EPISODE 11 - Even more enraged by what's going on, Tailslover13 wins immunity again out of frustration. Then, the mastermind MrsChloeKayCecci finally decides to take over the game. Realizing they're the target, MrsChloeKayCecci plays their idol at tribal, shocking everyone and negating 5 votes against them. Despite Tailslover13 seeing through this and trying to target AngieKStan, he's forced to watch one of his best friends, Thiii, be voted out instead 3-1-1. Then, if that wasn't stunning enough, MrsChloeKayCecci then finds ANOTHER idol immediately afterwards! After the quiet revi_ren surprisingly wins immunity, starrydash is picked to be the next target. However, yet AGAIN, MrsChloeKayCecci reads the situation perfectly, playing their idol on them, negating ANOTHER 5 votes at tribal! Raai is then sent out 3-1, much to the horror of Tailslover13, never properly using their idol nullifier on either of the two idols played by MrsChloeKayCecci. EPISODE 12 - Having gone from a 7-6 majority to a 5-3 minority, the three remaining Davids are in trouble. Tailslover13 vows revenge on the remaining Goliaths for taking out his two best buddies in Raai and Thiii. The revenge has to win, though, as the rise of MrsChloeKayCecci continues as they NOW win immunity after their two amazing previous tribal performances. Predicably, the three Davids can't do anything, and while Tailslover13 refuses to turn on either revi_ren or Ghutch, the same can't be said for them, and revi_ren is sent to the jury 4-2-1-1. EPISODE 13 - With only two Davids left, Ghutch pulls out a clutch immunity wins, while Dakota goes on to find the idol. Tailslover13 naturally does not like this at all and melts down, realizing he can't do anything without immunity or the idol. However, just as it looks like Tailslover13 is about to go home, Dakota throws a vote on MrsChloeKayCecci out of irritation for how dangerous (and annoying) they're becoming. Along with MrsChloeKayCecci and starrydash joining him, this allows Tailslover13 to survive the vote, FINALLY sending a furious AngieKStan to the jury in a 4-2-1 vote. FINALE - Feeling rejuvenated following his survival, Tailslover13 wins immunity to keep himself safe. The two Davids, Ghutch and Tailslover13, attempt to target starrydash with their two votes. Dakota plays their idol, negating two votes for them. However, after a 2-2 tie, Tailslover13 is unable to save Ghutch, and the second-to-last David is sent to the jury on the revote 3-1. Not enjoying almost going out, starrydash wins immunity at the final 5. Realizing he's in huge danger again, Tailslover13 picks a fight with Dakota to try and paint them in a bad light, while MrsChloeKayCecci uses this as an opportunity to make a random alliance between the three of them after the latter's alliance with Gabs and starrydash dissolved earlier. Tailslover13 uses his vote steal at tribal, stealing the vote of starrydash and putting two votes on Gabs. With MrsChloeKayCecci joining him, this leads to a shocking 3-1-1 vote to send Gabs to the jury. Feeling the heat, starrydash pulls out the final immunity, sending themselves to the final 3. Despite Dakota bonding with starrydash and trying to get them to take them to the final 3, starrydash thinks Dakota is the best one to try and take out Tailslover13 in fire, so they instead take MrsChloeKayCecci with them to final 3. Dakota and Tailslover13 are forced to make fire for the last spot in the final 3. Unwilling to lose now after everything he and his fellow Davids went through, Tailslover13 pulls through, defeating Dakota and making them the final member of the jury. At the final trial, MrsChloeKayCecci is ripped apart by the jury, annoyed with their attitude and callous behavior, including how often they backstabbed players for no reason. starrydash receives some praise for their gameplay, but ultimately gets criticized for coming alive too late and sometimes riding coattails. Tailslover13 is applauded for his resilience and fortitude in the face of adversity, his loyalty, his positivity, and his intelligence, although his emotional outbursts toward the end did receive some criticism. Ultimately, Tailslover13 wins the game in a 6-3-1 vote over starrydash and MrsChloeKayCecci respectively, ultimately allowing a David to win after completely blowing their majority power at the merge. The psychotic AngieKStan wins Fan Favorite for their chaotic, hilarious gameplay. SEASON LINK: https://brantsteele.com/survivor/37/r.php?c=Dy5Qw82Y
