TKS Second Chance (Season 6)

And thus our cast of second chancers got to play for their second time. Some made the most of it...while a lot simply did not. As expected. Overall, the season was fine. We hilariously got a finale with six heroes (at least by my Edgic-recording opinions), and while the winner wasn't the BEST possible one, they seem like a nice person and I'm sure they'll be happy (if they bother to see this). As always, thank you to my 20 chosen players: AngieKStan AntonB Bomberv BradT50 Charlitos cullenistehbest IceBeast mattychamps Miami MrsChloeKayCecci Nettles Raai Ralts023 Runaways Sophie Space starrydash Thiii Thumper91 Zofry EPISODE 1 - IceBeast and starrydash both find idol clues, and both ultimately find their respective idols in the first immunity challenge. Psychopath (and fan favorite) AngieKStan picks right up where they left off last time, proceeding to start bullying Thiii. Nettles, despite bonding with mattychamps and not doing anything bad, is deemed a challenge liability by Ralts023, so they take the easy way out at their first vote by ultimately sending Nettles packing in a 5-4-1 vote over BradT50 and Raai. EPISODE 2 - Despite getting their way at tribal, and winning the next challenge, Ralts023 has a meltdown anyway! This behavior disgusts Miami, prompting them to leave their alliance with Ralts023 and starrydash, and makes a new one with Bomberv and mattychamps. Ever the drama queen, AngieKStan has TWO meltdowns in the span of a few hours when their tribe loses immunity, but since nobody takes them seriously, the vote comes down to Space and Sophie. Despite an initial 4-4-1-1 tie, Space ultimately gets booted on the revote 5-3. EPISODE 3 - After swapping the two tribes into three, Thiii finds an idol clue, and then retrieves the idol at the immunity challenge. MrsChloeKayCecci unleashes a meltdown so epic it scares cullenistehbest to leave their alliance with them. Sadly, mattychamps flops on their second chance, getting sent packing at tribal in a 3-1-1-1 vote. EPISODE 4 - Despite winning immunity, AngieKStan simply cannot go a day without bullying someone, so this time picks a fight with the distraught Raai for (as always) no reason at all. Despite being in the majority on their new tribe, Bomberv fears they're going to be blindsided, resulting in a major meltdown of their own. And their worries prove to be true, as yet again Bomberv flops on Survivor, getting booted out in a 3-2 vote. EPISODE 5 - Miami goes on the offensive; after having to deal with AngieKStan and their annoying behavior, they bond with both Thiii and starrydash, before ultimately forming an alliance with the latter and Raai. AntonB proceeds to annoy cullenistehbest and makes them bizarrely leave their alliance, but it proves to be meaningless as the legendary Sophie follows up her amazing TKS Legends performance with a poor showing here, being sent out 4-1-1. EPISODE 6 - For some reason, winning immunity challenges brings out the worst in people. After getting 1st place, MrsChloeKayCecci is so upset that they very nearly decide to quit the game, but realizing their popularity and adoration would take a hit if they did, they decide to stick it out. Not to be outdone, cullenistehbest also has a meltdown, all the while AntonB and BradT50 bond over their tribemates' embarrassing behavior. Realizing they're the target, Thiii successfully plays their idol on themselves, negating 3 votes that would've sent them home. However, despite putting their vote on the powerful Miami in the hopes of getting them out, Miami threw a vote onto Raai, resulting in a depressing end to their game in a 2-1 vote following the negated votes. EPISODE 7 - Swapping the tribes one more time before the merge, Zofry melts down over fear of going out right before jury, leading to Thiii to have a waste a lot of energy calming them down. Despite his paranoia, their tribe ultimately decides to finally send AngieKStan out before they can carry their bullying ways into the merge, finally sending the psycho out in a 5-2 vote. EPISODE 8 - With the original numbers at 7-6, it's anyone's game. AntonB wins the first immunity challenge. BradT50 gets to work with his social game, trying to woo both Thiii and Runaways with how awesome he is. cullenistehbest arrogantly antagonizes Zofry and lets them know they're going home. Despite their attempts to send out cullenistehbest for their behavior, a split vote between Zofry and Ralts023 ultimately sends Zofry out of the game and makes them the first member of the jury in a close 5-4-4 vote. EPISODE 9 - MrsChloeKayCecci wins immunity, immediately wowing Miami in the process and causing them to woo MrsChloeKayCecci out of their own alliance to form a new duo with them instead. A stunning 4-4-4 vote at tribal leads to a three-way revote between Thumper91, AntonB, and cullenistehbest. With Zofry laughing on the jury, cullenistehbest ultimately gets their comeuppance, being eliminated on the revote 4-3-2. EPISODE 10 - The lovable Charlitos wins immunity, but IceBeast finds a vote steal at the challenge as a consolation prize. Fearing their friend Runaways was in danger, IceBeast then uses their idol on them at tribal council. Proving their instincts were correct, 4 votes against Runaways are negated. Instead, 3 votes are sent the way of Thumper91 and 4 to AntonB, knocking the latter out of the game as the third juror. EPISODE 11 - Miami wins immunity, while IceBeast and Runaways bond over what happened at last tribal. Realizing Charlitos was far too likable to keep around any longer, the tribe ultimately has to vote them out, despite Miami and Thumper91 both refusing to do so and throwing their votes onto others instead. Charlitos is still voted out 4-3-2-1. EPISODE 12 - MrsChloeKayCecci continues to reclaim the greatness they had in their last season, getting another immunity win, as Miami finds a clue to an idol. Unable to find the idol, Miami fears their may be in danger, but starrydash saves them with their own idol at tribal, yet again negating 4 votes cast for them. Runaways catches two, but it's ultimately BradT50 that takes the fall in a narrow 3-2 vote after the idol play. EPISODE 13 - Ralts023 and Thumper91 both win individual immunity for themselves. Runaways finds the idol instead of Miami, and Thumper91 joins their alliance with IceBeast. Realizing this was finally the time to take the shot at the powerhouse that is MrsChloeKayCecci, the tribe turns on the legend, blindsiding them and sending them to the jury in a 5-2-1 vote. EPISODE 14 - Thumper91 finds the second merge idol, now giving the alliance of them, IceBeast, and Runaways two idols and a vote steal combined. Fearing their numbers are dwindling, Miami gets a clutch immunity win to save themselves. With Miami immune, the tribe ultimately took out one of their allies instead, sending Ralts023 to the jury in a 4-2-1 vote. FINALE - In the finale, Miami desperately needs immunity to stay alive, but Thumper91 steals it from him instead. Playing for their live, Miami manages to sway Thiii into joining their duo with starrydash, hoping to tie up the vote 3-3 at tribal. IceBeast, however, figures this out, and finally uses their vote steal on Thiii, being able to vote twice. Thanks to this, a disheartened Miami is finally voted out 4-2, ultimately outplayed by IceBeast. After Thumper91 wins immunity again, starrydash figures they're following Miami out the door. Runaways finally plays their idol on themselves, while Thumper91 plays theirs on IceBeast. None of it matters as it leads to a 2-2 vote between starrydash and Thiii. Angered by Thiii trying to tie up the last vote with Miami, Thiii is ultimately punished for the betrayal, sparring starrydash and sending Thiii to the jury on the revote. Proving what they did was a costly error, starrydash ultimately wins final immunity, forcing the trio of IceBeast, Thumper91, and Runaways to turn on each other. Ultimately, best buddies IceBeast and Runaways make a final 3 deal with starrydash, which they accept, ultimately leading to the disappointed Thumper91 going out in 4th in a 3-1 vote. At final tribal council, Runaways is criticized for riding coattails and not playing with any agency in the game, despite being a likable enough underdog. starrydash is appreciated for being the lone underdog standing from their starting tribe, but ultimately cannot name any big moves they did to stand out or boost their game. IceBeast is praised for never having won an immunity, yet only getting 1 vote all game long, and always having their pulse on the tribe and knowing where everyone stood. Their overall quality of gameplay leads to IceBeast being crowned the winner of TKS Second Chance, 6-2-2 over Runaways and starrydash. Raai then wins fan favorite following their depressing vote-out pre-merge. SEASON LINK: https://brantsteele.com/survivor/31/r.php?c=biDfNqmy
