My landlord will pay for this……..

I'm curious as the what everyone thinks the best comp on Kovaze is, and ofc I've included Flags & Words as ROTATIONAL comps. Said I was posting 2 at once this time bc bored idk. I've randomised a list and will re randomise each time a comp is eliminated for the next round. Will close each in around a day. Posting 2 at a time until the "qualifiers" are over. Last round Match 3 edged out Holey (we lost two bop comps early on), but it was very close! I forgot about Guitar so that has been added and paired with Treasure as the last. There were 15 items in your list. Here they are in random order. Weightlifting Chain Pop Holey Match 3 Balloons Water Tank Codebreaker Words Shapes Stacker Deal Starfall Flags Lucky Drop Treasure Hunt Guitar So far: Weightlifting vs Chain Pop - CHAIN POP WINS 25.7% v 74.3% Holey vs Match Three - MATCH THREE WINS 42.4% vs 57.6% Currently we have Balloons vs Water Tank in the other blog (https://kovaze.com/blog/120291). Now we have Codebreaker vs Words!

Im going on a trip to Ventura, California in a couple weeks and i may or may not visit LA one day of the trip. If I do, what are the things I have to do / places I have to see 👀

he just wanted a burger and loved his wife. he is just a guy

… of losing 😄🙄 I’m kinda getting tired of failing in the arena 😅 Will there ever be an option to just practice the games instead of jumping straight into matches? There are some insanely good players I don’t stand a chance against while I’m still trying to learn 🔥

44 Kovazians continue on fighting in Squid Games, still only one will leave alive. Hope ya'll enjoy Episode 3! I've included a short section of dormitory updates before the game begins. -------------------------------------------- Remaining Cast: Kimmie hausofkimchi joeburrow holly heatherleigh theworldofjj muribolt Kodua CocoVanderbilt NaughtyNacho hwest14 JessieKowalski Melodrama CasinoCheese IceBeast Cherry Hunter Rachellllll DK Bagel dumblonde CarltonRS Spikedcurley Womanizer Dimitra BRAT Jaded Maris Cristi Dani katheryn bim Juulpod YanderTron21 randomize Nora biancabae bubba Luka Christos camell22 BIGBRYY99 Gabbes Glacier -------------------------------------------- Forty-four people. Twenty-seven empty bunks. The dormitory feels cavernous now in a way it didn't after the first game — the space between survivors somehow wider, lonelier, more deliberate. Everyone who is still here has made a calculation, consciously or not, about who they want close to them. And with the numbers shrinking, those calculations are becoming urgent. The alliances that had been forming in shadow begin to take shape. Melodrama and YanderTron21 have stopped pretending their bond is casual. They sit together at meals. They take adjacent bunks. When either of them speaks to someone new, the other is watching. Some find it reassuring. Others find it threatening. Both interpretations are correct. biancabae and Jaded are similarly inseparable — but louder about it. They have adopted an almost defiant openness, speaking about their trust in each other in front of anyone who will listen. Whether this is strategy or simply genuine connection is hard to tell from the outside. Possibly both. CarltonRS and Kodua have formed a quieter pairing — less visible, more durable. They share a bunk cluster with Juulpod and operate as a unit of three without ever announcing it. Maris has been the most industrious architect of alliance in the dormitory. In the days since Dalgona, they have quietly gathered BRAT, Dimitra, and Womanizer into something that functions like a crew — a bloc of four who coordinate meals, sleeping positions, and conversation with a subtle efficiency that several other players have clocked but not challenged. Maris does most of the talking. The other three do most of the listening. NaughtyNacho, Rachellllll, Kimmie, and randomize have formed their own loose grouping — younger in energy if not always in age, bonded by humor and proximity and a shared refusal to spiral into paranoia. theworldofjj orbits this group without being fully part of it, occupying an in-between space that keeps their options open. IceBeast, Hunter, and CocoVanderbilt are the most deliberate alliance in the room. All three recognized each other early as strategic thinkers and have been meeting in the corridor after lights-out — speaking in short, low sentences about structure, about numbers, about who to stay close to and who to watch from a distance. CocoVanderbilt does most of the strategic framing. Hunter is the one who remembers everything. IceBeast is the one nobody suspects. On the other end of the dormitory, hausofkimchi, Dani, Luka, and heatherleigh have grown into something warmer — a social cluster built less on strategy and more on the simple human need to feel less alone in here. They share food. They tell stories. Cherry and katheryn have both drifted into this orbit as well, and on good days the corner bunk area feels almost like a refuge. Christos, bubba, and BIGBRYY99 are a unit of three built on shared bluntness — none of them are particularly interested in the social game, and they have found a mutual comfort in each other's directness. Glacier and hwest14 have latched onto this group more recently, and muribolt, DK, and bim make up the edges of a broader cluster that joeburrow also belongs to, though joeburrow has been noticeably quieter since the Dalgona game. Maris and CocoVanderbilt have been circling each other carefully for two days. Both are aware of the other's strategic acuity. Neither has made a move. The eye contact across the dormitory is its own kind of language. BRAT has grown visibly restless. They follow Maris's lead but increasingly ask questions about it — quiet questions, to themselves as much as anyone — about whether being part of someone else's plan is really a plan at all. Gabbes and Spikedcurley have connected in an unexpected way — bonded over a long conversation the night after Dalgona about what they would do with the prize money. Neither of them talk about alliances. Both of them are now, in effect, allied. camell22 and Bagel have adopted a different strategy entirely: visibility without vulnerability. They are warm with everyone, close with no one, and have managed to avoid being named by anyone as a threat. It is an extremely difficult balance to maintain and they are, so far, maintaining it. The lights go out. The dormitory breathes. Tomorrow brings another game. Forty-four people lie in the dark and try to sleep. -------------------------------------------- Tug of War. Four teams of eleven. Two matches, fought on elevated platforms suspended high above the ground. Each team grips one end of a thick rope. The objective is simple — drag the other team off the edge. The losing team falls. There are no second chances, no safety nets, no way back up. The winning team advances. The losing team does not. The arena is vertical in a way none of the previous games were — a vast open structure of steel and cable, platforms suspended at staggering height with nothing but air beneath them. The forty-four survivors file in and crane their necks upward. The ropes are already in place, thick as a fist, hanging from overhead rigging between two narrow platforms. A guard at the front announces the rules. Then the process of team selection begins. Players are told they have five minutes to form four groups of eleven. No assignments. No guidance. Just forty-four people and five minutes and the knowledge that this choice could determine everything. The room moves quickly. People find each other the way they always do — by instinct, by prior arrangement, by fear. -------------------------------------------- TEAM 1 (Match 1) Melodrama YanderTron21 Gabbes heatherleigh camell22 Bagel JessieKowalski Spikedcurley Cristi dumblonde CasinoCheese TEAM 2 (Match 1) Maris BRAT Dimitra Womanizer NaughtyNacho Rachellllll Kimmie randomize theworldofjj Nora holly TEAM 3 (Match 2) IceBeast Hunter CocoVanderbilt hausofkimchi Dani Luka Cherry katheryn CarltonRS Kodua Juulpod TEAM 4 (Match 2) biancabae Jaded joeburrow bim muribolt DK hwest14 Glacier bubba Christos BIGBRYY99 The draws are made. Match 1: Team 1 vs Team 2. Match 2: Team 3 vs Team 4. Teams 3 and 4 are escorted to a holding area. Teams 1 and 2 are taken to the platform. -------------------------------------------- The two platforms face each other across a gap, the rope connecting them like a bridge that neither team wants to cross. Eleven on each side. The platform is narrow — single-file width, barely enough room to plant two feet firmly and pull. Below: nothing. Just the whistling depth of the structure and the distant sound of machinery somewhere in the dark below. Team 1 organizes quickly. Spikedcurley takes the anchor position at the back — the largest and most physically grounded of the group. Melodrama and YanderTron21 plant themselves in the middle of the line. Cristi, Bagel, JessieKowalski, and Gabbes fill the front half. camell22, heatherleigh, dumblonde, and CasinoCheese stack in behind. Team 2 mirrors them. Maris goes to the anchor position instinctively — a leadership move, a dominance claim. BRAT and Dimitra take positions near the back. Womanizer, NaughtyNacho, Rachellllll, and Kimmie fill the middle. randomize, theworldofjj, Nora, and holly take the front. The rope goes taut. A tone sounds. PULL. The first fifteen seconds are pure chaos — no rhythm, no coordination, just raw force. Both teams dig in hard. The rope barely moves. Team 2 has the early edge, the front of their line getting low and pulling with everything — Womanizer and NaughtyNacho in particular driving hard, teeth gritted, heels dug into the platform edge. Team 1 stumbles. The rope creeps toward Team 2's side. Three inches. Five inches. Spikedcurley at the anchor screams something — a command, a number, a word — and Team 1 snaps into a different rhythm. Unified pulls. Timed exhales. The rope stops moving. Then slowly, inch by inch, it begins to reverse. Team 2 adjusts. Maris barks orders from the anchor position. The line resets. Another deadlock. Both platforms creak under the strain. The rope has moved perhaps half a meter in either direction and nobody is falling yet. Forty seconds in. Then holly at the front of Team 2's line loses their footing — just slightly, just a half-step — and the rope surges toward Team 1 with a lurch that sends Nora and theworldofjj stumbling forward. The front of Team 2's line is suddenly off-balance, leaning into empty air. Maris screams. Team 2 tries to reset. They almost manage it. Team 1 pulls. The front four of Team 2 — holly, Nora, theworldofjj, and Kimmie — go over the edge in a cascade, one after the other, the rope jerking the rest of the line forward whether they want to go or not. 44th — holly. 43rd — Nora. 42nd — theworldofjj. 41st — Kimmie. The screaming from the remaining seven on Team 2 is immediate and desperate. They scramble backward but the momentum is irreversible. The rope tears forward. randomize goes next, then Rachellllll — both dragged to the edge by the weight of the four already gone. 40th — randomize. 39th — Rachellllll. Five down. Six remaining on Team 2's side of the rope. NaughtyNacho has somehow planted their heels and is pulling back alone with everything they have — buying seconds, just seconds. Team 1 leans back, heaves, and the rope surges again. 38th — NaughtyNacho. Maris, BRAT, and Dimitra are the last three holding — the anchor cluster, still pulling, screaming at each other to hold on. Womanizer has gone quiet — they know. They all know. Team 1 pulls one final time. Long, slow, coordinated. 37th — Maris. 36th — BRAT. 35th — Dimitra. 34th — Womanizer. The rope goes slack. Team 1 collapses backward onto the platform, gasping, gripping each other. Some of them are crying. Some of them are laughing. All of them are alive. TEAM 1 ADVANCES. -------------------------------------------- Team 3 and Team 4 file onto the platform. The rope is reset. A new taut silence fills the structure. IceBeast takes the anchor for Team 3 without discussion — the size and composure make it obvious. Hunter slots in just ahead of them. CocoVanderbilt positions themselves midline, calling out positioning adjustments while the teams are still setting up. Dani, Luka, Cherry, hausofkimchi, @kateryn, Kodua, Juulpod, and CarltonRS fill the rest of the line. Team 4 arranges with similar speed. BIGBRYY99 goes to the anchor — the biggest personality in the group, the biggest frame. Christos and bubba stack in behind. Glacier and hwest14 take mid-positions. DK, muribolt, bim, joeburrow, Jaded, and biancabae fill out the front. The tone sounds. PULL. Match 2 begins differently. Where Match 1 was immediate force, this is a chess match. Both teams hold steady, testing each other, probing for weakness. Neither gives ground in the first twenty seconds. The rope hangs perfectly level between the platforms. Then CocoVanderbilt does something unexpected — they tell Team 3 to stop pulling entirely. Just hold. Just resist. Don't expend energy pulling, just refuse to move. Team 4 pulls into the resistance and gets nothing. They strain. They burn. After thirty seconds of pulling against a wall, their form begins to break down — the line goes uneven, shoulders drop, feet shuffle. CocoVanderbilt calls it: "Now." Team 3 pulls. Hard. All at once. The rope lurches three feet toward Team 3's side in less than two seconds. Team 4's front line stumbles. biancabae grabs the rope harder and screams for everyone to hold. They almost do. joeburrow loses their grip first — not from the fall, not yet, but from the rope burning through their palms. They regrip a split second too late and the line shifts. 33rd — biancabae. First over the edge, dragged by the surge. 32nd — Jaded. Right behind them, rope pulling them forward faster than their legs can respond. joeburrow goes next — the regrip wasn't enough. 31st — joeburrow. bim and muribolt go together, clutching the rope as their feet leave the platform simultaneously. 30th — bim. 29th — muribolt. Five down. Six remain on Team 4's side — DK, hwest14, Glacier, bubba, Christos, BIGBRYY99 — and they are pulling with everything left in them. BIGBRYY99 at the anchor is planted like a wall, veins up their forearms, jaw set, hauling back with pure desperation. The rope slows. Team 3 strains. For a moment — a genuine moment — it feels like Team 4 might claw it back. Kodua and CarltonRS at the front of Team 3 dig their heels in and lean back at an impossible angle, taking the weight of the whole line through their bodies. IceBeast at the anchor drops low and drives through their legs. The rope moves again. Just slightly. Then more. 28th — DK. The line collapses inward. hwest14 and Glacier go in the same pull. 27th — hwest14. 26th — Glacier. Three left on Team 4. bubba, Christos, BIGBRYY99 — the anchor trio — still holding, still pulling. bubba screams something wordless at the top of their lungs and digs back. Christos has the rope wrapped around both forearms. BIGBRYY99 is the last thing standing between Team 4 and the fall and they know it and they are not going quietly. Team 3 times one final pull. CocoVanderbilt counts it out loud. Three. Two. One. 25th — bubba. 24th — Christos. BIGBRYY99 holds for three seconds alone — rope wrapped around both arms, feet at the very lip of the platform, body at forty-five degrees over the edge, defying physics through sheer will. Then the rope wins. 23rd — BIGBRYY99. The platform shudders. The rope drops. Team 3 collapses in a heap on their side, alive. TEAM 3 ADVANCES. -------------------------------------------- Remaining Cast: hausofkimchi CarltonRS Luka Spikedcurley Melodrama Gabbes dumblonde CocoVanderbilt heatherleigh Dani Cristi CasinoCheese Kodua JessieKowalski camell22 Hunter Juulpod Cherry YanderTron21 katheryn Bagel IceBeast -------------------------------------------- If you've gotten this far, I hope you enjoyed this blog!

OK season 2 girlies, I had a blast following along with you all this season and it's time to share my photos. I know some aren't my best work but I was traveling during some of these weeks and since I wasn't in the game I just left some of them unfinished, but I also think I made some stunners! I know I leaned WAY too much into my love for purple when you look at the entire body of work, but again I wasn't in the real game so I made the photos for my liking not the judges. :) Jane Medusaluh KaliMinaj missKant manyomash Maris akaliuchis Sprite BRAT Antog lluckygc GatoPisado Cristi bubba Justini Week 1 Mermaid Week 2 Dunes Week 3 Track Suit Week 4 Bachelor Week 5 Boy band Week 6 Spider Week 7 Boss Week 8 Claw Week 9 Drag Queen Week 10 Milk.

Glitter - you are a FORCE in this game. The way you enter every frenzy and immediately chat and gain allies. I am telling you that I am evicting you because I CANNOT beat you. You are one of the BEST players, I have ever seen play Frenzy and it is an honor for me to evict you.

I had an incredible time this season, even though there were moments when I felt a bit unmotivated and had to really push myself to stay focused. It definitely wasn’t always easy, but I’m proud that I kept going regardless. Winning four challenges along the way made it all even more special, especially because I truly felt like the underdog throughout the entire competition. There were times when I questioned certain scores and decisions, and I still feel like some of them were a bit questionable. I’m really proud of how far I’ve come, of the resilience I showed, and of the effort I put into every single moment. This journey pushed me outside of my comfort zone, taught me a lot about myself, and helped me grow both personally and creatively. Most importantly, I’m grateful for the experience, for the challenges, for the highs and lows, and for everyone who supported me along the way. I’m happy with my placement, proud of my story this season, and excited for whatever comes next ❤️ Goomybear Gabs TYSMMM for being my mentors this season #DNTM2 Medusaluh see you in all stars sis

- Envious has a harder morning than they're letting on. Something said at breakfast landed badly. They retreat to the castle grounds alone. - Hwest finds Envious outside and stays with them. Katheryn turns up ten minutes later with tea. Nobody mentions it. Envious notices exactly who showed up. - Evan finds a tin of biscuits hidden behind a bookshelf. They eat three before wondering who hid them there and why. - Sobriquet and NaughtyNacho have both watched Katheryn drop alliances without friction, find new ones without effort. Neither of them finds it charming anymore. - Sobriquet bets Hwest they can hold their breath longer. Neither admits when they give up. - Evan accuses Melanie of being dishonest with the group. Melanie fires back twice as hard. Sobriquet witnesses it and isn't sure what to do. - Hwest finds a handwritten note slipped under their door. It reads: "Trust no one." They have no idea who left it. - Hwest is in the middle of a sentence and then just stops. Envious sees it happen. The two of them disappear for a while. When they come back, Hwest seems steadier. The group wins $40,000 in the mission and Hwest wins a shield! NaughtyNacho melanie Envious Evan Tisha Jaded sobriquet Dream style Airi brookie katheryn hwest14 WHO ARE THE TRAITORS? STAY TUNED! :D
