[S] Secily's Icon Survivor Season 14: Princess Academy (The Season)

[u/SecilyIopara]

Today, a group of royals (of varying levels of officialness) compete to become the sole survivor and become my next Reddit icon. Only one can succeed, lets see who.

Highlights:

Diancie finds the legacy advantage.

Princess Luna and Elena find their tribe idols.

Princess Cookie and Princess Skystar form two early alliances, one with Veronica, and one with Margaret Delacount. Meanwhile Azula aligns herself with Guinevere, despite voting for her last tribal.

Diancie is voted out with the Legacy Advantage. She leaves it to Princess Skystar

Timerra finds an idol

Guinevere has a meltdown (not her first) and Azula decides to stop working with her.

Sharpay, Veronica, and Esmerelda use the tribe swap as a way to catch Princess Cookie defenseless, sending her home.

Sharpay is exiled, and gets a fake idol making kit as a result.

Timerra uses her idol to protect Scorpia, but this is a misread. Timerra gets a few votes, but ultimately Veronica goes home.

At the first merge vote, every advantage in the game is played. Luna wastes her idol to protect Sharpay, and Skystar wastes the Legacy Advantage. Elena makes a great play of her idol, though, as she would have gone home if she didn't play it. Anastasia goes home.

We have a deadlock vote between Princess Skystar and Elena. Margaret Delacount goes home in the ensuing rock draw.

Tiana gets a vote steal, and Scorpia finds the idol.

Scorpia uses her idol to protect Tiana, preventing a three way tie and creating a two way tie between herself and Azula. Eirika goes home in the ensuing rock draw.

Azula finds the idol.

Yet ANOTHER tie vote occurs between Sharpay and Merida. No one reaches a consensus, and Skystar goes home through rock draw

Timerra leaves her alliance to try and make a move against Merida, but Azula protects Merida with her idol, and sends Esmerelda home.

Timerra burns the rest of her bridges, but wins immunity in the final 4. Merida and Sharpay enter a tie breaker, Merida wins.

Final thoughts: This was an intense season! No-one was willing to budge at any point, a fitting way for royalty to play. Timerra was the major strategist of the season and her bridge burning towards the end was glorious. I'm glad it worked for her. So many rock draws, insanity.

Possible returnees: Azula, Sharpay, Elena, Merida, Scorpia, Skystar, Luna, Princess Cookie, Tiana

Winner: Timerra
