Disventure Camp 4: Carnival of Chaos – Advice for the Remaining 3
by PintheDog

The twenty-fourth episode of Disventure Camp 4: Carnival of Chaos was totally intense. After checking on all of the eliminated campers at the hotel during the last episode, we returned to the game proper, where the final four campers did what they could to jockey for the best possible positions to secure their spots in the final three. Along the way, there were so many alliance jumps and loyalty shifts that ultimately culminated in a tense vote . . . and an even more intense tiebreaker that turned more lighthearted in no time at all.

With the threat of the jury looming, no one was more stressed out by it than Jade and Anastasia. At the moment, their deal to take each other to the final two was standing, and indeed, they both intended to face each other then. But the problem was that they needed to get rid of Hannah and Logan, the two who had fewer enemies on the jury than they did (or so they think — I think that it is true for Hannah, but not for Logan, and Anastasia seemed to agree with that point). So they wanted to cause a possible tiebreaker to beat one of them. At the same time, Hannah and Logan found themselves aligning after being blindsided by Jade’s Steal-a-Vote advantage and decided to target either Anastasia or Jade after the challenge. But that changed when the challenge did not go as planned for their new alliance.

The Immunity Challenge involved one of the best features of carnivals — the bumper cars! In this particular challenge, the campers would drive bumper cars custom-painted to fit their personalities, and they would simply use them to bump into each other for points. They would one point for a rear hit, two for a side hit, and three for a head-on collision if they were the aggressor. But no points would be rewarded if the head-on collision ended with equal reaction. The first camper to twenty points would win immunity and guarantee himself or herself a place in the finale. Both pairs tried to work together to ensure that a member of one of their pairs would win immunity so that they would have their choice of target from the opposing pair.

Just like episode nineteen, and just like I stated above, the episode culminated in the second tiebreaker of the season. And the two tied campers found themselves taking part in a rarely-seen carnival tradition. They’d have to use hoses to fire at targets to both fill and burst three balloons of their assigned color — red or blue. The first to burst all three would win the tiebreaker and proceed to the final three.

With yet another camper down and gone, it’s now down to the final three. The campers left will have to do what they can in the next episode, as means either winning immunity . . . or facing the now-fully-formed jury. Knowing this, what should they do going forward? Can they survive the jury vote, or will they have to secure immunity to avoid facing Benji, Richard, Natalia, Spencer, Marissa, Zaid, Amelie, Isabel . . . and the final juror? It’s advice for the remaining three.

Purple Team

The campers on the merged Purple Team all fought hard to make it to the final three, and along the way, they all made plans and backup plans to get there. And for all but one, the fight was won. But what should they do now that they are heading for the final three?

Jade: I still think that you have the strongest chance to win. You’ve won immunity twice, you’ve had a spot-on strategic game, and your social game has grown so much. You’re right, though, that the jury might be your undoing. If what I learned from the jury roundtable is true, then you might want to hope that Logan wins the final Immunity Challenge so that you can face Anastasia, as she’s the only one whom I feel like could have enough enemies to vote her out over you. Otherwise, try to win the final Immunity Challenge yourself and hope that Anastasia, by some miracle, survives the vote over Logan, as I think that he can beat you on the final challenge, while it’ll be closer with Anastasia.

Anastasia: Congratulations on the immunity win, as well as the plan to ensure that you claimed the victory. Your only mistake was turning on Jade and flipping her to try to vote Logan out when she wanted to go for Hannah. And even worse, Logan didn’t go, as he won the tiebreaker that sealed Hannah’s fate. That said, with only three left, alliances have to go out the window now. Just aim for that final Immunity Challenge win and hope that, by some miracle, Jade survives the jury vote, because like with her, Logan would an easier chance at beating you in the final challenge than she would.

Logan: I actually wanted to put you at the top spot because of Anastasia and Jade fearing you having the fewest enemies on the jury. But I’m really getting a nagging feeling that the show itself telling us that you have so few enemies is actually setting us up to show us that you have more than we are expecting. And why? Because of what you said to Hannah after the vote: “Not that first time I’ve flipped on a friend.” Yeah. You’ve flipped, Logan. Too many times. And I can see that being brought up in front of the jury if you end up facing it, particularly if you’re against Anastasia. I can absolutely see her using that one against you. To avoid the risk of that, your only way of surviving now is to win immunity. If you lose, then you had better hope that the assumptions of you having few to no enemies is right.

Hannah: What went wrong? Plain and simple, you were simply too much of a jury threat. Though you had some enemies (Spencer and Zaid, for sure), it was still fewer than Jade or Anastasia had. Your best bet was to sell yourself to the two of them as being less of a jury threat than Logan and hoping to God that they would agree with you and spare you over Logan in an easy 3–1 vote. But alas, you instead tried to force a tie with Logan with Anastasia’s help and then lost the subsequent tiebreaker. I really loved you, though, and hoped for you to get to the final two so badly. But to have been a recruit who learned about the game and played it hard to get to the final four is nothing at which to sneeze at all!



But that's just MY advice to the campers. Have any advice of your own? Let me know in the comments below!
