Welcome to the game! This confessional is your private space to write down your thoughts about the game. Feel free to write whatever you want in this forum, such as your plans, thoughts and reactions. Spectators and moderators will also ask you questions about the game. You are encouraged to answer them and interact with the spectators. This confessional will also be the place for you to submit any game actions.

This is a private space. The only people who have access to your confessional are you, the moderators and the spectators. After The Genius is over, all confessionals will be opened for everyone to see.

Finally, some of the Main Match and Death Matches may be confusing. You are encouraged to use this thread to ask the moderators any questions that you have.

Good luck!

Talking with Jinho for a little bit reminded me how much nicer he is to work with than Jimmy, lol. I'm honestly so done with Jimmy. And his "you're doing the best that you can" thing? Get over yourself Jimmy Cha, I'm going to win this with or without you.

If there was a Main Match that perfectly explained why I lost Civivor, this would be it. I overthink everything and I can't turn it off, it's one of my biggest flaws. And not good thoughts either, just crippling self-doubt when the pressure is on. This entire Main Match has felt like the rounds where I was a swing vote where I would just toss options in my mind endlessly.

Luckily I have less stake in this. I genuinely do not think I will win the whole thing, I don't think I'm going to be good at Death Matches. I will try, but I'm better when I have other people to rely on. And if I'm honest I didn't think I would make it this far when I signed up, I thought I would just be playing some fun social strategy games for a couple rounds and then I'd go home.

But it's still eating me up and I'm obsessively thinking about it and like, I have finals next week. This isn't healthy. Maybe I'd be better off getting eliminated, though I do not want to have to deal with a Death Match playing in the background for weeks either

I've had fun, it's just a lot sometimes. The more I play these games, the more I feel them taking over me and it's all for nothing. There's no money, I'm competitive for its own sake.

I liked that I was better able to ignore this than Survivor because initially being irrelevant was beneficial and there wasn't the constant socializing looming over me, but this Main Match is bringing back why I wanted a Survivor break. It isn't good to get worked up over meaninglessness, I need to live my life.

But I'm still having fun. I'm on that old journey of self discovery!

There is no escape Gura. Give in to the power of the dark side. You're one of us now.

Uggh, I guess so. You got me begrudgingly though.

So to recap, who's been immune since round 3 (technically round 4 but round 3 was the Yeonjoo assassination and I knew I was zero danger)? This guy! No one's been immune or won as many Main Matches as me and it's fabulous. Still not confident on the Death Matches, but Main Matches I have a handle on.

And final five, woot! I genuinely never thought I'd make it this far, but now the pressure is mounting because I'm so close to the finish line. I'm not really fantasizing about winning though because it seems so unlikely, so that's healthy.

I love Jiwon's perception of me! So evil, I love it. I really don't think I've been that person this game, I've controlled a lot but I think Jinho has played much better than me in a lot of areas. However, all that matters is that people die thinking that I have all of this power so that they can give me their advantages. Although Jiwon also said he'd rather eat his own vomit than see me win so I'm not sure he's a Jury vote that I'm exactly counting on.

I'm torn right now. On the one hand, I would love to go to the final three with me, Sangmin, and Jinho. On the other hand, I think Jimmy is the most beatable final contestant, especially with his low garnet count. So I really just want to survive this round at any cost, but knowing that Jinho and Sangmin definitely won't take me if they lose is a big relief that should give me decent odds. I think Jimmy would take Jinho over me, though he won't go with Sunggyu. I don't know what Sunggyu would do.

Can you guys kill Jiwon please? His name is still gray. I don't want to see it like that any more, it makes me feel like he's undead or something.

Also this challenge is frustrating, I have a feeling in my stomach that this may be the first Death Match that I compete it. I guess we'll see though.
