Following Joshy’s elimination, the game continued with ten castaways remaining and the jury officially underway. Touchy Subjects had already exposed plenty of cracks within Celestia, and with old alliances beginning to fracture, nobody could afford to feel too comfortable. But there was no time to dwell on the last vote. ✨ CELESTIA ✨ IzziDame, Mel, motherbird, Glitter, Fiji, alexanderspms, JTee, KeithNewbern, Poof, gay Production called everyone back in for their next shot at safety. 🌌 INDIVIDUAL IMMUNITY - THE TWELVE HOUSES At Final 10, the castaways faced The Twelve Houses, a rapid-fire logic challenge built around a twelve-space cosmic wheel. Players had to follow clues, count positions, track planets and answer solar-system questions across 22 consecutive rounds, with only 25 seconds per question Mel was initially so confused that Production had to explain the challenge to her “like you’re 3.” “YOU DON'T NEED TO KNOW ASTROLOGY, YOU JUST NEED TO READ AND CLICK.” Naturally, this somehow turned into half the tribe comparing birth charts instead of preparing. When the results came in, the top three were motherbird, gay and JTee. Motherbird finished third with 19/22. Austin scored an impressive 21/22. But one person was perfect. 🏆 JTEE WINS INDIVIDUAL IMMUNITY! With a flawless 22/22, JTee guaranteed himself a place in the Final 9. Everyone else was vulnerable. 🔥 CELESTIA TRIBAL COUNCIL The round started quietly enough. Too quietly. Glitter announced that she was ready to “heal with Celestia” by voting out what she called the cancer of the tribe, while JTee enjoyed being one of the few people who could confidently say: “I feel safe tonight.” The previous Tribal's tension between Glitter and KeithNewbern was still lingering, although Glitter claimed she had apologised and believed Joshy had helped pit the two against each other before his elimination. Keith, meanwhile, knew that receiving two votes last round could make him an easy name again. But as Tribal progressed, the target began moving elsewhere. And then came... #FACETIMEGATE Poof publicly addressed a rumor that he and alexanderspms were supposedly FaceTiming every day. Poff denied it completely, explaining that he didn't even have Alex's phone number and had simply voice-called with him like he had with several other players. Alex confirmed: “I am not in any showmance.” The tribe immediately made the situation approximately ten times less serious. IzziDame asked if he could be the flower boy at their wedding. motherbird called it a “romber.” Mel made it clear that whether the two were FaceTiming, texting or doing literally anything else, she did not care. But Poof believed the story was being deliberately spread to exaggerate how close he and Alex were. That argument quickly opened an even larger can of worms. Names started flying. Claims about secret chats started flying. Glitter accused Poof of telling her that gay was trying to turn people against her. Poof denied saying it. KeithNewbern was suddenly dragged back into the conversation. Within minutes, FaceTimeGate had become another full Celestia information leak disaster. Eventually, every vote was locked. And it looked increasingly bad for Poof. 🗿 THE FIRST IDOL PLAY Before the votes were read, alexanderspms got up. He told the tribe: “I think it would be downright depressing to sit and watch green bananas turn yellow without my debaucherous little nova sister.” Then he handed Production an idol. Production inspected it. IT WAS REAL. The first Hidden Immunity Idol played all season. And Alex was playing it... FOR Poof. Every vote cast against Poof would now be erased. The tribe immediately realised something massive was about to happen. The votes began. Poof - DOES NOT COUNT. Poof - DOES NOT COUNT. Poof - DOES NOT COUNT. Again. Again. Again. Again. SEVEN VOTES FOR POOF. ALL NULLIFIED. Poof couldn't resist: “I told yall, ‘im the one with the wicked curveball’” Mel immediately corrected him: “it was alex not you” Then came the first vote that actually counted. GAY. One vote Austin. Then the next... AUSTIN. And the final vote? AUSTIN. FINAL VOTE: 7*–3. Seven votes against Poof poofed. And gay became the thirteenth person voted out of Skinnisha Survivor: Space Invasion and the second member of the jury. The tribe was stunned. Austin himself called it a strangely unnecessary shot, but gave Alex full credit: “you just made the best possible move you could.” In his final words, Austin left something for nearly everyone, affection for several of the friendships he had formed, forgiveness toward Michael after their earlier fight, and one final assessment for Poff: “your win equity just went poof even if you didn't.” And with that, the first idol play of the season had completely overturned a 7–3 majority. Poof survived. gay did not But for Austin, the tribe has spoken! It was such a pleasure having you in the game and we are so sorry about how things ended up. We could tell how invested you were and going out by an idol is never ideal but we hope you have had fun throughout the process, what an iconic way for such an iconic player to go out. 9 CASTAWAYS REMAIN. The jury is growing. Idols are officially in play. And for the first time since the merge, a massive majority just watched its entire plan disappear in front of them. On the Moon, seven votes can apparently mean absolutely nothing. 🌕🚀 The journey continues... Follow Skinnisha Survivor: Space Invasion: https://discord.gg/SxhaH9cUC
