U.S. States Viewer Voting #26

Last time, Team 3 was up for elimination.

Team 3 and 4 were named. Capy, you typed in Team 3's name with one "r" in Capybara, let me know if you want to change that.

Gekko0923: Last time, Team 3 (now Capybara Lovers) were up for elimination!

The candidates were Arizona, Nevada, New Hampshire, North Carolina, Tennessee, Texas, and Vermont.

Voters ranked states from best to worst. Let's see the results!

There were 9 voters.

With an average rank of 1.8, Texas is safe. No one ranked him below a 3. He got 4/9 of the 1s, and 4/9 of the 2s.

Also safe are:

...

...

Tennessee (average rank 3.0)

...

...

Arizona (average rank 4.0)

...

...

...

Vermont (average rank 4.3)

Vermont was surprised that he escaped the bottom 2. Now he was worried for New Hampshire.

and Nevada (average rank 4.6).

The bottom two are now New Hampshire and North Carolina.

New Hampshire, as a New England state, you are one of the perceived leaders of the crumbling Northern alliance.

North Carolina, you made an unnecessary 6-7 joke during your pitch, which puts you truly at risk.

One of you is leaving in 27th place tonight, with an average rank of 5.7, while the other is safe with a rank of 4.7. So it wasn't THAT close.

The person safe is...

...

North Carolina.

North Carolina: South stays strong! Woohoo!

New Hampshire, it's time for you to go.

New Hampshire: Damn it. Screwed over by this Southern alliance. I'm not too mad about this, just disappointed.

Vermont: New Hampshire, I-

New Hampshire: Good luck, Vermont. Fight for the Northern cause. Tell Maine that she needs to get in line too.

Vermont: (nervously): I will.

Wizzandy's Favorite EVIL team: Idaho, Hawaii, Florida, Virginia, Kentucky, West Virginia, California

The Northerners: Wyoming, Alaska, Minnesota, Pennsylvania, Iowa, Maryland, South Dakota

Capybara Lovers: Nevada, Vermont, Texas, Arizona, North Carolina, Tennessee

Pro-Dog Team: Colorado, Washington, Michigan, New Mexico, Maine, South Carolina

As promised, to make up for the loss of lore, here are some of the alliances the states have created!

This is just a starting point, and will develop as the series continues.

Alliances are listed with the PERCEIVED LEADER listed first, then the second-in command next, and the bottom of the alliance/fickle members listed last.

For instance, for Survivor: Heroes vs. Villains, Russell's alliance could be written as:

Russell, Parvati, Danielle, Jerri, Sandra

The order in which the alliances are listed depends on their importance. If there are two warring alliances, they will obviously be the top two. Friendships are usually listed last.

States can be in as many alliances as they want, or in no alliances at all.

You'll find that there can be alliances within alliances.

But we all know who won that season. So, anyone is still a threat to win this!

With new teams, states created new majority alliances within their teams, leaving one or two outsiders to target when it's their turn to be UFE!

Here are the major alliances:

Alliances:

Southern Bloc: Florida, South Carolina, Texas, Tennessee, West Virginia, North Carolina, Kentucky, Hawaii, New Mexico

Northern Organization: Virginia, Maine, California, Vermont, Washington, Minnesota, Michigan, Maryland, Colorado

WFET (Team 1) Majority: Florida, West Virginia, Kentucky, Hawaii, California

Wild West: Idaho, Wyoming, Colorado, Nevada

Team Fantastic 4: Michigan, Maine, Washington, Colorado

M-alliance: Michigan, Minnesota, Maine, Maryland

Big 3: Florida, Texas, California

Cardinals: North Carolina, South Carolina, West Virginia, Maryland

Outsiders: Alaska, Hawaii, Vermont, Washington

Three-Wheeled Shopping Cart: Arizona, New Mexico, Colorado

True Outsiders: Alaska, Hawaii

Alexa: Here's a random number from 1 to 4. It's 1.
Team 1, now named Wizzandy's Favorite EVIL team, you are up for elimination.

Vermont: I feel so guilty for targeting New Hampshire in my pitch last round. And the worst part? He doesn't even know it. I was just paranoid we would be the bottom two due to the Southern alliance. Whatever. I need to move on.

South Carolina: I can't believe NC almost got eliminated over a stupid 6-7 joke. He needs to be more careful than that. If he's risking Southern momentum, he's moving down the totem pole.

Maryland: I need to use my spot in the Cardinals alliance to receive protection from my Southern allies. I hate that my team is called the Northerners, but at least I have Southern connections.

Virginia: It's time for West Virginia to get the hell out of here!

West Virginia: Virginia will be definitely gunning for me, but I ain't scared. With our majority of five out of seven states on WFET, I got plenty of allies to protect me.

Florida: Out of our WFET majority of me, Hawaii, Kentucky, West Virginia, and California, we could target either Virginia or Idaho to leave. While Idaho is more northern-coded, Virginia is the direct enemy of both KY and WV, and keeping her could create in-fighting within the alliance. Meanwhile, I would like to face California in another voting war, but I don't think it's the right time.

Washington: It's Washingtoning time!

Arizona: I'm surprised New Mexico is joining the Southern bloc. But is he really aligned, or is he just conforming? I gotta go talk to him.

Pennsylvania: Why all this beef between Northern and Southern states? Maryland has the right idea. In the end, I think it will be the states in the middle that will thrive. As a swing state, I know exactly how to play both sides. Now to play the waiting game.

Iowa: All this game talk is too much. I'd just like to congratulate Oklahoma, who couldn't be here right now, for winning the NCAA D1 cross country championships. Or rather, Oklahoma State. Iowa State put up a good fight though. Happy Thanksgiving to all!

1 vote per user.
Rank the states from best to worst, with 1 being your favorite and 7 being your least favorite.
Lists should be numbered but MUST include all 7 states.

State with the lowest (highest number) average rank will be eliminated.

Wizzandy's Favorite EVIL team: Idaho, Hawaii, Florida, Virginia, Kentucky, West Virginia, California

California

Pitch: I just rejoined. Also, I would like to remind everyone that I am a crucial part of this nation, from our food supply to the economy. I deserve to be top 25, at least. Though, for this round, I'd like to outrank Florida just for spite from my first elimination.

Florida

Pitch: I don't trust California, as he's the biggest blue state. But for now, we need to eliminate Virginia. She's been getting on my allies' nerves, and she overstayed her welcome. And for this round, I'd like to outrank California, just to keep him in his place.

Hawaii

Pitch: Aloha! I'm the best vacation destination site; there's no real reason to rank me low. Just an emotionally chill, physically not-so-chill guy.

Idaho

Pitch: I'd really like to stay away from this drama. Like Hawaii, I'm a mostly non-offensive state. The worst thing to come from me are the four murders of college students back in 2022... with a close second being mashed potatoes.

Kentucky

Pitch: Virginia MUST go! Ain't no way we gonna let her slip past this one! She's an absolute mess of a state! As for me, just rank me high base don my Southern boy charm. Before Tennessee done and did it, I did it first, and I did it better. #JusticeforSouthernStates

Virginia

Pitch: This Southern alliance is really getting ridiculous. Their logic? Eliminate ME, a former member of the Confederacy, an embodiment of the South itself? Eliminate me over Idaho, who literally borders Canada? Over California, who conforms to the Southern side in USVV but really fought in the Union during the Civil War? Over West Virginia, who is farther north than me, but I dominate all three of the other cardinal directions? Her name, West Virginia, is a damn lie! I am further west than her. This has gotten out of hand. West Virginia is a joke.

West Virginia

Pitch: So... that loudmouth Virginia been spittin' out a whole damn paragraph for her pitch cuz' she mad. And she mad cuz' she knows she's unlikable and she knows she's on the bottom. She burnt our crops, poisoned our water supply, and did something else I can't remember. But I know she done some nasty things. Get her out. #JusticeforSouthernStates
