User blog:Tanglefrost/Upolu Alternate Ending

Okay so I made an alternate ending for Upolu and forgot to post it. It goes from Namua's tribal in You Can't Handle a Double-Edged Sword Without Being Stabbed onwards. Some positions are exactly the same, including my winner. Others are different.

11th- Kiki Lomax (3-3-3; 4-2)

Instead of voting for Rebecca, Desiree feels she can get more numbers on her side and take out a huge threat. Fully aware of Hans' plan to vote Rebecca, Desiree's alliance places their three votes onto Kiki, who Desiree feels is the biggest threat. The votes are tied 3-3-3 between Desiree, Rebecca and Kiki. Now aware that Hans, Vinny and Kiki were targeting her, Rebecca's alliance side with Desiree and Kiki is voted out 4-2 on the revote, with Hans' alliance switching their votes back to Desiree in hopes of Rebecca siding with them.

Revote Vote Counter:

Votes for Kiki: Johannes, Ruben, Sasha, Skanda

Votes for Desiree: Hans, Vinny

10th- Hans Kohlschreiber (8-2)

Desiree has monumental numbers on her side, with her three plus Rebecca's alliance of herself, Skanda, Johannes and Nathaniel. Realising the numbers are against her, Josephine disassociates herself with the Namua group and joins the alliance of seven, turning it into an alliance of eight. Ruben wins immunity. The vote comes down to Hans or Vinny. Although Vinny is recognised as a far bigger threat than Hans, Rebecca feels uncomfortable about having Hans in the game when he is out to get her. As a vote of both personal revenge and strategy, the eight put their votes onto Hans, and he is eliminated 8-2, with Hans and Vinny voting for Desiree.

Vote Counter: 

Votes for Hans: Desiree, Johannes, Josephine, Nathaniel, Rebecca, Ruben, Sasha, Skanda

Votes for Desiree: Hans, Vinny 

9th- Josephine Murray (5-4)

Desiree wins immunity. Vinny looks to be on the chopping block, but by now the alliance of eight has split into two groups of four: Rebecca, Nathaniel, Skanda and Johannes vs Desiree, Ruben, Josephine and Sasha (note that the "terrorist" incident never happens because Josephine has no reason to be angry over the Hans vote, therefore she and Ruben somewhat get along). The two alliances then go to war with each other, using Vinny as the crucial swing vote. Rebecca's group wants to target Josephine, since Desiree has immunity and Josephine is the next strongest competitor. Desiree's group want to target Rebecca as Desiree feels extremely threatened by her. Vinny ultimately decides to go with Rebecca's group as he feels closer to the Namua members on that side. Josephine is voted out 5-4.

Votes for Josephine: Johannes, Nathaniel, Rebecca, Skanda, Vinny

Votes for Rebecca: Desiree, Josephine, Ruben, Sasha 

8th- Sasha Hayes (3-3-0;5-1)

Johannes wins immunity. Rebecca's alliance now holds a 5-3 advantage over Desiree's alliance but Desiree has the idol. Not knowing this, the group target Desiree. A split vote is raised and it is agreed three will vote for Sasha (as it is believed Desiree is most likely to have an idol)) and two for Desiree. Desiree's alliance target Rebecca as she is feared as a strategist. They approach Skanda about flipping and working together since she will likely be taken out by Rebecca for being too big a strategist. Although Skanda considers this, she stays true at the vote. Desiree plays her idol, negating the two votes. Sasha and Rebecca tie. Fearing a rock draw and not wanting to be on the bottom, Ruben flips, but it doesn't matter as Sasha is voted out 5-1.

ORIGINAL VOTE: 

Votes for Sasha: Johannes, Skanda, Vinny

Votes for Rebecca: Desiree, Sasha, Ruben 

Votes for Desiree: Nathaniel, Rebecca 

RE-VOTE:

Votes for Sasha: Johannes, Nathaniel, Rebecca, Ruben, Skanda 

Votes for Rebecca: Desiree

7th- Vinny Powers (4-3)

Johannes wins immunity again. It seems Desiree is the clear target for elimination. For a while, that is the case, but then Desiree throws Vinny under the bus by pointing out he will win if he makes the end. She approaches Skanda and Johannes with this idea, also pointing out Vinny is an immunity threat. It is enough to get them on board. Ruben appears set on voting out Desiree until she approaches him with the plan. He is left with the choice of Desiree or Vinny. Eventually he deems Vinny a bigger threat to win and sides with Desiree, Skanda and Johannes in taking him out.

Votes for Vinny: Desiree, Johannes, Skanda, Ruben 

Votes for Desiree: Nathaniel, Rebecca, Vinny 

6th- Rebecca O'Neal (0-0; Veto Medallion) 

Desiree beats out Johannes for immunity. Rebecca and Nathaniel consider Johannes a huge threat, as does Desiree and Ruben. The four vote for him while Skanda and Johannes (in love), vote for Rebecca to split up the alliance of Rebecca and Nathaniel. Johannes pulls out his Veto Medallion and takes out Rebecca as a huge all-around threat.

Votes for Johannes: Desiree, Nathaniel, Rebecca, Ruben 

Votes for Rebecca: Johannes, Skanda 

5th- Desiree King (2-0)

Noticing Skanda and Johannes' affection for each other, it is feared they will take each other to the finale. With Johannes immune, the only option is Skanda, with Nathaniel the swing vote. Johannes and Skanda argue Desiree could easily win the game. Skanda, feeling in danger, goes and finds the Hidden Immunity Idol. She plays it and, although Nathaniel has sided with Desiree and Ruben, it is all for naught as Skanda plays the idol, blindsiding Desiree.

Votes for Skanda: Desiree, Nathaniel, Ruben

Votes for Desiree: Johannes, Skanda 

4th- Skanda Fox (2-2; Tiebreaker)

Johannes wins immunity. From the outset it is clear that no one is flipping. Johannes teaches Skanda how to make fire, while Nathaniel and Ruben work together to figure out how to do it. As the only non-immune option, Skanda is put up by Ruben and Nathaniel. As the stronger challenge performer, and wanting to avoid a disaster,  Ruben is put up by Johannes and Skanda. Ruben wins the tiebreaker.

3rd- Johannes Wilkins (1-0)

The vote plays out exactly the same as in the fanon.

2nd- Ruben (2 votes)

Ruben is blasted for selling out his allies on multiple occasions by flipping and having little to no regard for other people's feelings. Most noted is his flip at the final eight against Sasha, leaving Desiree defenceless, then flipping back the very next vote to take Vinny out. It is also felt that he rode Desiree's coat-tails. He receives 2 votes to win, from Desiree and (SHOCK HORROR) Josephine, who feel Nathaniel did nothing to deserve the title.

1st- Nathaniel (7 votes)

Although it is felt Nathaniel rode Rebecca's coat-tails, his strong social bonds on the Jury secure him the win. Note than Hans never successfully voted off Rebecca and Nathaniel never flipped on Namua, so the Hans speech doesn't happen. Having made a lot of friends and being, overall, a lot more popular than Ruben, Nathaniel easily takes the title.

Votes for Nathaniel: Hans, Johannes, Kiki, Rebecca, Skanda, Sasha, Vinny

Votes for Ruben: Desiree, Josephine 

So as you can see, my ending does not change that much. At the point of Rebecca's elimination I was getting very sick of Kiki so I considered the idea of voting her out and changing my post-merge. I decided to have confidence in my plan and go with the original.
