Pete's Diary

[Pete Yurkowski]

Sorry for the super duper delay on this confessional! I promise I will keep this updated. I have just been overwhelmed with work at the moment. Going into this game I do not want to pose as any type of threat. I don't want to russell any feathers right off the bat either. I just want to blend in and stay on the down low. I was shocked when I saw the twist this season. I don't know who Coach or Jefra are. But they must have made some kind of impact in their season to be brought back. Jefra seems like a hot mess and Coach seems more level headed. So thankfully we have Coach on our tribe and not Jefra. When I read that Coach and Jefra picked tribes based on our 3 words to describe ourselves. I was like oh jeez what did I put again?

Before the first challenge, I wanted to try to bond with some of my tribemates incase we were to lose the first challenge. Unfortunately that failed because they aren't very talkative. However, in the group chat it seems like everyone is social. It is just the one on one conversations people are very stiff. The first challenge was actually kind of fun. It was so simple and easy to be honest. Jefra kept fucking bitching though! OMG! She was very whiney and annoying. So glad that I do not have to deal with her on my tribe.

Winning the first challenge was awesome. It gives me more time to try and talk to my tribe. Maybe work out some deals? Going into the next challenge was interesting. So I had plans when the challenge will be posted. So I let everyone know that hey if you guys want to sit me out then sit me out. Otherwise I will be back a little later to finish the challenge. Cao took it upon himself as "tribe leader" to sit Shane out. Well turns out Shane actually showed up for the challenge! AWKWARD!!! Thankfully for Cao's sake I actually did show up, and right on time may I add. I feel like had we lost the challenge, things would have been interesting. My name, Cao, Sandra and Shane's name would get brought up for the vote.

Anyways, so everyone on my tribe seems kind of basic in conversations. Or maybe I am going off basic to them which is why they don't really talk to me. But Morgan is very unique. She comes off as a very straight forward and gossipy person. I don't know if I trust her but she's the only interesting person to talk to on my tribe. She mentioned how annoying Cao is by acting like our leader. She noticed how the rivalry between Coach and Jefra seems to be too much. That they are over doing their hate for each other. We don't need to be reminded 24/7 about how much Coach doesn't like Jefra.

Even though Morgan and I bonded very well. I have to think she has done this to someone else and not just me. I found it very strange she was so open to me this early. Don't get me wrong I like it but I have my suspicions.

[Pete Yurkowski]

Okay so lots has happened with this tribe swap! So I never really gave a fuck about anyone on my tribe. They were all distance towards me and I know I would have been on the outs had we went to tribal ever. Cao comes to me and lays everything out on the table. There was some big alliance that was Elyse, Brenda, Morgan, Shane, and Alec. I guess Shane is bi polar and spilled the beans about the alliance and where people stood in the game. Cao brings up this WITS alliance which involves Cao, Coach, John K, Cochran and Bob. Finally something is happening in this game! Of course I join this alliance and I am all for it. According to them there are 2 sides in this game. One side you have Jefra, Hope, Courtney, and Jaclyn. Then you have Brenda, Elyse, Morgan and Alec. With everyone else in the middle! Well by the looks of the tribe swaps this seems very easy to gain control and vote these 2 sides out one by one. So you think.... 

So myself and Elyse didn't do anything in the challenge and we lost points for our tribe. There was word that people think I am inactive and usually I am not. But something has been going on with me lately. I just have no energy or emotion anymore. I feel completely drawn and wore out. It sucks and I am trying my best to get my shit together but it doesn't seem to be working. Anyways, we end up winning the challenge and Bob, Cao and Coach have to go to tribal council. I am worried for them because they didn't seem prepared to go to tribal. Last time I heard from Morgan she wanted Coach and Cao gone ASAP so I wouldn't be surprised if she guns after them. 


Looks like Coach and Cao were blindsided! I am happy Cao stayed and Coach left. I never really liked Coach that well to be honest. Cao was very open with me and I would like to continue working with him. So going into the next challenge, Jefra decides to sit me out. I am like hold up wait a minute! I will be playing in this challenge Jefra, if I am going to sit out it's because I can't make the challenge. But turns out that didn't matter because Elyse got some special power to swap 3 tribemates. She brings Morgan, Alec and Shane. Which makes me scared SHITLESS! They don't know I am with John K, thankfully! Because turns out they want him out! What happened in the group chat about who to sit out was disgusting! I hate when a group of people gang up on one person. It was almost bullying in my opinion. I felt so bad for John K and I wish there was something I could have done to help him. 

John K mentioned to Morgan that I felt bad for what happened. And I am so mad! UGH! Why are you bringing me down with you!!! God damn it John! Now you have zero support from me and I am jumping ship! So this is going to sound really bad but I have no choice! I need sympathy for why I haven't been around. Brenda asked me why I have been so busy and I panicked! So I may have told her that my grandpa is in the hospital and thats why I haven't had time to get to know people in the game. Oops! 

I mean, my grandparents are dead so I am good. But this lie actually got me and Brenda to bond really well. Before things were always stiff between us and now we have something in "common" since her grandma is sick. Then I started saying she could be like the girl from Gone Girl and blah blah. Morgan then comes to me and wants me, Brenda and her in alliance. I need any alliance I can get to turn my game around at this point. I have no loyalties to anyone but myself in this game. I am a snake in the grass. 

[Pete Yurkowski]

So as expected we lost the challenge. When I knew majority were going to throw the challenge, I saw no point in even trying. John isn't someone I really care about, in fact there is no one in this game I really care about. I don't see any problem "backstabbing" John by voting him out. I don't really consider it backstabbing because we aren't even close with one another. After the challenge, John is so desperate to talk to me about the votes. He says there is something that can save him! Well I am listening but if it sounds like a dumb idea I won't even entertain the thought of keeping him. I am not going to risk my game at all for this guy. I am in the middle of making up for the time I lost in the game. He says that Sandra and Brenda said if he can get a fourth vote to keep him then they would vote to keep John. EHHHHHHHH. Well Sandra I see on board with this but Brenda? It doesn't make much sense for Brenda to be 100% on board with this plan. I mean didn't we just make an alliance with Morgan together? Plus I am sure Brenda has alliances with Alex, Elyse and god knows who else. Shane quitting was AMAZING! I never liked him! He always irritated the fuck out of me and now I don't have to worry about him. Though he did spill alliances and where people stood. He was a help of some sorts. 

[Pete Yurkowski]

So John K got voted out and he ended up voting for me. John K was a sinking ship and I wasn't going to stick myself out for him. As of now, I do want to try and stick with Morgan and Brenda because they do have a say in votes. That doesn't mean I trust them 100%, I think they are sneaky shady girls. Color me surprised when I see we have another tribe swap. The way things look now on Loa Seki, I'd say my chances look pretty good at surviving tribal councils. I have my WITS alliance with Bob, then I have Morgan. Plus Courtney and Jaclyn will need my vote at a tribal council. Sandra is just there....

Morgan and I were talking about if we were to lose the challenge what will happen. Morgan was paranoid that Bob, Jaclyn and Courtney will all vote for her and try to sway Sandra or myself to vote Morgan or throw our vote away. Also I guess Jaclyn does have an idol to play. It doesn't really bother me since I have no attachment to Morgan. However, we do win the challenge and Jaclyn did 13 hours?! Holy shit! Why would you go so hard for this challenge?! You are just making yourself a huge merge threat now Jaclyn. Everyone will want her gone ASAP!




When Malaga voted out Jefra, I was kinda happy. It was fun to mess with Jefra but she bugged the shit out of me. Plus people suspected me and her had some alliance LMAO! That's hilarious! I know for sure I do not like Alec at all! If there is anyway I could get him out, I will take that road. I also don't like Elyse! I hope Cochran and Cao can somehow make the merge with me and Bob. I don't mind sticking with the WITS but Cao does seem like the glue to that alliance. If Courtney and Jaclyn come to me about my vote, if they are willing to get Alec or Elyse out then I am going for it. This is going to be so much fun playing both sides and flip flopping at merge. I am going wherever the wind blows baby.

[Pete Yurkowski]

So the message Jaclyn had was that Malaga had to do another tribal council! I'm assuming Cao is done and will be voted out. But turns out it was Cochran!! Cao was able to survive another tribal council and this guy is hanging by a thread at this point. I had the chance to talk to him after and he sounded so defeated. I can see where his frustrations where coming from honestly. Shane, Morgan, and Alec pretty much ruined his game. Got majority of the people in this game against him over rumors I think. It's part of the reason why I don't like Morgan and Alec. I think its pretty fucked up what they did. However, maybe Cao deserved it. Who knows!

So I have been wanting a merge to come! Like what the hell is taking so long?! GIVE ME A MERGE! I mean I do like that our tribe keeps winning immunity and I don't have to lift a finger. But I need this game to shake up and start blindsiding people. I want to start lying to peoples faces about my vote. Bob and I were able to talk about our game. He wants to go final 2 with me. Which is alright I guess. I won't be going out of my way to make it happen though. I do think our relationship has gotten closer now that we were on a tribe together. I do believe he has my back 100%. I have slowly been trying to get close with Jaclyn. Just incase if she ever needs my vote, she will trust me and tell me who she is voting for. In order to play both sides I need both sides to trust me during tribal. If I know how Morgans and Jaclyns side are voting then I am sitting pretty. 

I made an effort to talk to Alec last night. He wasn't so bad to chat with. But I still don't trust the guy and now that I know him more than I did before. I am more excited to want to blindside him. Is that evil? Cao was voted out at the tribal. I am surprised he made it that far to be honest. At least he was put out his misery. Bob thinks we are screwed come merge time. But I will be working my magic to survive these tribal councils. I will kiss ass and have no problem or shame lying to someone in order to survive. Basically playing as long as it's not me tonight.

[Pete Yurkowski]

WHAT THE FUCK! WHERE IS THIS GOD DAMN MERGE?! UGH you are killing me here. So we have another swap and I get kinda nervous. I mean I am with Brenda and Morgan. I basically have to put all my trust in them for my safety. Makes me glad I did get an alliance with them. Then we have Hope and Alec who I am starting to warm up to. The challenge says BOTH TRIBES are going to tribal council and I am just like fuck me. 

Basically at this point I do not trust Brenda and Morgan fully to have my back. I am under the impression that if Hope wins immunity then I am screwed. They would keep Alec over me. So I need to make sure Hope does not win immunity. So I tried to get Bob to throw a rock at Hope but he didn't seem for it. I realize I need to make a shady deal with Sandra. I basically went up to here and was straight up. Look we are in the same position in this game. We are at the bottom of the totem pole and any alliances we do have we are at the bottom. Let's help each other in this game and work our way from there. So I said and kinda lied to her lol that I will throw rocks at Jaclyn and Elyse. While she would throw one at Hope. That way I am safe because Hope isn't immune and she is safe because she is immune. 

Well when it came time to throw rocks to help each other. She followed through with Hope and I went through with Jaclyn. But then I thought if I throw a rock at Elyse that might piss Morgan and Brenda out and regardless if Hope has no immunity they might vote me out still. So I just went through with Jaclyn and let me tell you. She flipped out on me! Oh my lord! She is acting like I have cut her fathers dick off and I raped her with it! Like bitch calm the fuck down. She starts full on questioning me like bitch I am not scared of you. Fuck you!

As of right now, I give no fucks with Courtney and Jaclyn. I won't be holding any of my opinions back and I will go off on them any second. Anyways so a little before the challenge was over, Brenda mentioned that Alec might go. Alec seems more shady than Hope so that works! Honestly as long as it's not me! Right now Morgan and Brenda do seem legit with me. They also always flirt with me and I just go along with it. While I could have Bob and Sandra on the side separately. Any potential alley I had in Jaclyn is now gone. I want that bitch out! 

Oh and as of right now Morgan and Brenda are coming clean about alliances to me! Like what?! My swag is off the charts right now! They hate Jaclyn so much! Hahaha I am with a bunch of gossip girls right now. So I guess Elyse, Courtney, Jaclyn, Hope, Brenda and Morgan all formed an alliance. Morgan and Brenda aren't for it and all for final 3 with me? I mean I am not complaining! I will just roll with this! 

[Pete Yurkowski]

Alrightly so I was finally able to do what I wanted in this game. Flip flop at tribal councils. When Jaclyn won immunity we had to settle to get Alec out. It is risky to have Jaclyn stay another round when this could have been our only shot to get her out but long term this risk might pay out for me. Seeing how happy Elyse, Morgan and Brenda were after Alec got voted out was hilarious. Little do they know I will be voting one of them out the next round. YIKES!

So I do have a deal with Morgan and Brenda. I do think it was a last ditch effort to have comfort votes on their part. So Elyse should go because I have no deals or agreements with her. Bitch can’t rely on Brenda and Morgan protecting her from my vote. So Bob wins immunity and it’s time to make that move. It’s either I vote Jaclyn and pretty much ride with Morgan, Brenda and Elyse or vote Elyse out and be able to go back and fourth.

Voting Elyse out sounds much better for me! Bob wants to go final 3 with me and Courtney which sounds good. I am hoping there isn’t a final 3 and it’s a final 2. Because I want to cut Bob at final 3 and go final 2 with Courtney. After Elyse left, Jaclyn does have this immunity thingy from the trove. So she will be safe next round. That means we can vote Courtney or Brenda/Morgan out. Seems like voting Brenda out is the best bet. Morgan staying another round is better than Brenda staying because any relationship Morgan had with Jaclyn and Courtney is over.


So it looks like my ideal final 4 would be myself, Bob, Courtney and Morgan. I don’t want Jaclyn anywhere near an endurance challenge. I also have to get something solid with me and Courtney that way she does have my back when I need her. Maybe I should be paying more attention to the Trove but it’s just too complicated.

[Pete Yurkowski]

I'M SO EVIL! DETAILED DR OF MY PLAN COMING SOON! 

[Pete Yurkowski]

OMG! Where do I start?! I want to try and be as organized as I can with this confessional and try to talk about things in order. But let me just start off by saying THIS HAS BEEN MY FAVORITE ROUND!!! So before tribal results it was an assumption the vote would be Brenda. Between myself, Bob, Jaclyn and Courtney. That may have been my mistake that round by just assuming that was going to happen. It’s not like I plan to go final 4 with them, we just had a general agreement to split Morgan and Brenda up.

So about 20 minutes before the deadline to vote. Brenda and Morgan start hounding me about the vote. “Are you really voting Courtney?!” “Well now we need to vote out Bob!” It threw me out of a loop when Morgan told me the vote switched to Bob. Now I have a choice I can either vote Bob out and backstab him earlier than I anticipated to. Or I can backstab Brenda like I originally planned to. Either way I am backstabbing someone! So I think, well Jaclyn can’t vote and she is safe this round. I specifically asked Bob “Is Courtney voting for Brenda?!” Because I haven't talked to her about the vote myself. It also comes to mind that if I side with Morgan and Brenda this round then I am almost stuck with them and voting Elyse was a waste of time. No I want to go hard and officially backstab those brats!

Well color me surprised when I see the vote was Bob! Now my true colors have been exposed to Brenda and Morgan and both of them are still in the game. One would think “shit I am fucking screwed!” NOT ME! I know for a fact I am not next on the chopping block. There is no way anyone would vote me out over those 4 girls. Let me downplay myself and compare my game to Victoria from BB16. I mean everyone has talked shit that I was barely social in this game. I know that and I even started mistaking peoples name in my parchments. For god sakes my aim name is “talkingishard”. I know what I am doing! So when I am arguing with Brenda/Morgan, I try to victimized myself. I don’t even know what I am saying, just random excuses I can think of. “Oh you guys used me, Elyse was ahead of me!” Yay at being the last guy standing though! Just like Victoria!!! 



I have a conversation with Jaclyn and she is pissed at Courtney. At this point, Jaclyn is no threat to me anymore. I mean if she makes it to the finals, I have no problem with her winning. Morgan and Brenda have pissed me off so much that I want them to be the next to go! BACK TO BACK! But now Courtney is the man in the middle. She took that position from me!!! Having Courtney pretty much be the deciding vote and either please or piss me off is frustrating. I hate having to rely on people.

So let me talk about the challenge performance for a quick second. Like I said, my new strategy is Victoria and people think I don’t give a shit. Okay fine by me! I have made it clear before that I have no problem not having to lift a nail in a challenge. Seriously these challenges have me out of breath and breaking a sweat!

Brenda wins immunity and I am like UGH! I would have rather voted Brenda out before Morgan. So this is where my new “Pretty Little Liars” inspired strategy comes in. Instead of going GAME ON BITCHES to Morgan and Brenda! I am going to “Mona” these bitches and potentially fuck them over twice! Bahahahahahaha! I am going to be a sneaky pretty little liar this round.



First things first, I need to make a clear agreement with Jaclyn that I am with her to get rid of these 2! I let her know of my plan just incase she starts doubting any trust from me. Great now that part is settled. Now it’s time for the fun part. I need to get Brenda and Morgan to believe I will vote with them this round. Now I know that my ass is not on the chopping block. But I am going to play stupid and think it’s either me or Jaclyn this round. When in reality it’s Morgan or Jaclyn this round. Morgan knows her ass is on the line this round and she is trying to scare me with her finding an idol. Blah blah. So I do a little flirting with Morgan and make jokes. I try to act like I need her this round when she needs me. I start begging her to talk some sense into Brenda that I need you guys back. I don’t even know where I got the Destiny's Child and Beyonce comparison from. But it’s hilarious! I just pretty much say I am sorry for trying to Beyonce you guys and go solo. You guys really had my back and I am more successful with you guys than without. Morgan pretty much has no choice but to take what I am selling to her. Brenda on the other hand is being a little aggressive. I feel like Brenda just wants to make me feel like I need them or I am out of this game. She even tried to say the vote is between me and Courtney because she respects Jaclyns game. Bitch please! Do I look like I got stupid written across my forehand?!



Eventually, Brenda says don’t fuck me over and let me regret this! OMG! Hahahahahaha! Now the only thing that can ruin my plan is Courtney! Fucking Courtney. She is either going to vote Morgan or Jaclyn and I need her to vote Morgan. Honestly, this might sound fucked up but if I can pull this off. Fuck Brenda and Morgan over again will be winning to me. I am telling this is what I planned on doing at the merge. Fucking people over! I am a snake in the grass guys and either way people will see that tonight.

I am not afraid of Morgan or Brenda’s wrath. If Jaclyn does leave this round over Morgan. I maybe fucked and get 4th place. But Morgan and Brenda would be idiots to keep Courtney over me. Courtney voting Bob out was a big move this season and put herself in the best position. I mean she controls this vote right now. She has impressed me. If these girls were smart, I should be in the final 3 no matter what. I do think me comparing my game to Victoria may have hurt my chances. But I am fully prepared to make my case against the jury. Don’t rule me out yet! I am a late bloomer and I am coming hard in these final rounds!

BTW thanks for the likes Carter

Also this has to be my favorite parchment I have ever done in a Survivor game! Someone needs to frame it!
