God Chelsea got in TWO posts before me. Spam-bot eh?

[Chelsea]

This is why I miss IM Chat LOL

I wouldn't have included Angelina since I thought all just had 1 answer. Also, Angelina's picture says Angela, so it seems like a red herring. Anyway, I took about 10.5 minutes, which involved me accidentally restarting firefox. But if Angelina's picture with Angela written on it (https://i.imgur.com/2wUCB30.jpg) was supposed to be a correct answer for no. 1, I never would've got it.

1. With high expectations they ended up being lame, these were TWO PLAYERS removed from the game.

and Angelina is prob a typo lol

[Robb]

Oh question 1 says TWO players. Oh so I missed it. Would have been close between me and Don then, unless he got it in like 10 mins, then he def wins.
This feeling still really sucks. I thought I was done if I didn't win IC, but I had a lot of fight left in me and I'd like to think I could have changed Seb's mind or maybe make Gabby go after Seb:/ I just hate having this massive what-if now.

They were absolutely smart for booting me though, but I'm not sure how inevitable that was, and whether I could have worked any magic.

[Chelsea]

Well knowing you, you'd probably fighting til the end :)
But hey maybe we get invited back for a returnee season, you had the best underdog story this season, that's why I wanted to be with you at FTC cuz it would be cool it would be a challenge for me and you'd probably have a great FTC speech too.

So you can now tell us what happened?

[Robb]

I fell asleep around 6:40pm Eastern, woke up slightly around 8:30pm Eastern, so almost right before the challenge, and accidentally fell asleep again until 10:40pm Eastern because my friends came back from a night out I bailed on. I wasn't planning to take a good nap for the IC when I messaged Jeff about possibly being late, but I kinda decided not to go at all because of how exhausted physically and mentally I was, and instead ended up falling asleep... and sleeping as this game was happening, when I initially planned my night out to a T so I could make it back here in time.

Ashley (wanna hear the story behind your new name btw) already asked me in confessionals, so I just pasted what I said there.

Awwwww

[Robb]

Idk, I can take it as karma, I guess.
I should have been a pretty irrelevant 9th place boot without any of the IC wins, and without even going for an idol when my ass was in trouble, so I should just be glad I got to stay in the game so much longer over some accidental panic pushed a player overboard into panic.

[Robb]

when some accidental panic pushed a player overboard into quitting*

fuck, I need a break from this

Robb <3 <3

Since you mentioned it here - If it helps, I have almost the same story as you, except I was at F4 lol (in a season with FTC at f3). :( It will haunt your dreams for a little bit and then it'll be funny :)

A fossilized host named Mia once called me Trashley to poke fun - I decided to keep it :)

[Robb]

ARE YOU SURE IT WAS JUST ONCE
If so, I saw that occasio as I was doing my digging in seasons 24-30 on Tuesday, haha.

So are you British as well? It just sucks because I fucking fell fucking asleep, and that is not what I do, it's 11:24 am rn and I woke up at 2:47 am IIRC

[Trashley Markwood]

omg what season was it?! I can't remember the circumstances around it, just that it happened. She probably called me Trashley a bunch of times tbh.

I am Aussie/Brit dual from Aus but was living in the UK during university in 2014 when I played my first season. 2-3am rounds are cancer :)

[Robb]

I think Marquesas (24)? Maybe that wasn't the first time it was mentioned tho

I can't say that this game made my sleeping schedule worse though. Some weekends I'd actually manage to fall asleep & get up early, which hasn't happened in a long time before this game.

[Trashley Markwood]

Well then, on behalf of Stranded yw we fixed your sleeping cycle :)

Marquesas was a season that happened lol.

Wait have people here played before or did they all just research old seasons...? That never even crossed my mind hahaha

I researched when I was invited to apply that's why I knew I will never win a challenge LOL

I wanted to research the fuck out of this because I had no idea how I had never heard of such a profesional-looking ORG. But I never realised how to access the forums of past seasons, lol.
Chelsea brought up past season info at F8-F9 and then I remembered to check em out. I also tried testing you Chelsea, haha, and I think you have me some BS answers:DD

I gave you little hints okay lmao! because I want you to stay and maybe you could practice so you could win but at the same time other guys are telling me that you wanted me out so yeah, I would have told you research Season 29.. we had almost the same challenges as Socotra, The Maze, Numbers, Guesstimation, In the Crowd, Coordination (which btw was the exact same thing and I feel like I am cheating lmao), Hide and Seek...

[Robb]

Did you still try your best at coordinates? I just wanna know that you didn't intentionally try to be a bit slower, otherwise I would really get you being bitter for going out even more.

Yeah I get that, thanks a lot for sharing. To be honest, idk if it helped me much, just calmed my curiosity, because I never practiced those challenges before, and actually sucked and got stuck at the practice one yesterday, lol. I confused west and east, so thank god that practice puzzle even existed. I wish tonight was just a practice round fuuuuuuuuu
