Stranded in Tuamotus

1-What in the holy hell did I just witness. With one of the most chaotic Councils maybe in Stranded history, are you any more comfortable with your position in this tribe now than you were before Council?

2-Walk me through your decision tonight and what you would have liked to have happened. Who would you like to work with going forward and were you surprised by the outcome?

3-As the tribes get smaller, are you anticipating a merge on the horizon? How will you react if you do not merge as soon as you are expecting to? With three vets going home in a row, does that impact your decisions going forward?

4-If there is a merge around the corner, what is your plan... do you link up with people on the other tribe or stick to the bonds you've made on this tribe?

Ok I just started typing this out and then I realized my arm is too sore for this lmfao so y'all are gonna get a video of a very disheveled me later today. I have too much to say.

So Rocker is now telling me that there is a 0% chance Missy had the idol. I don't know what to think, but I think we're going to have to play like there is still one out there.

God my video thumbnails are always so dramatic.

Aurora says Missy told her she did have it, and asked her multiple times if she should play it. So it's possible she definitely did and, as I suspected, trusted Aurora enough to not.

Missing the olden of, "fuuuuuuuck Erik just asked me about the vote."

olden days*

Michael is being very, very obvious about the fact that he doesn't want Liz and I to get the partner idol and I don't think he realizes it.

He keeps saying he's worried about Liz's idol and that it's going to be "real powerful" and tbh it's sketching me out.

I would love to vote Jess tonight but 1.) I don't want to alienate Michael and 2.) I think that would make me extremely vulnerable at the next TC if I'm one of only two pairs left, especially if Liz still has her own idol.

Now he's saying he doesn't trust Liz because she left him out of the alliance with Hope on OG Puka, which Liz didn't even make. Hope just messaged us all the password.

I told him if he's going to distrust Liz for that then he shouldn't trust Matt, Shamar, Sherri, or me either.

I hope I'm not sketching him out right now, but I think he is going to be in for a rude awakening when he can't turn the tide against a Jessica vote tonight.

This partner thing is started to feel like a fucking curse.

Hope is telling me the same thing. It sounds like people think Jess was just making it all up (unless she has it...and Michael isn't telling me).

If I had to guess who has it, though, it'd be Aurora.

Me when Michael says another reason he can't vote Jess is because he doesn't want to send her to pre-jury again.

I know that post was hypocritical because I always tell myself the dumbest emotional reasons for not voting for people, and then after the game I find out I was expendable to them so...lol.

I also feel like I have been pretty harsh towards Jess in my confessionals and I just want to qualify all that by saying I do really like her as a person. Super sweet and personable and she's been nice to talk to. I would for sure want to be friends after this, if she isn't too mad...

Me learning the extent of how inflammatory Liz apparently was towards EVERYONE on the other tribe:




But also fuck. Lmao.

feel like pure shit just want him back x

Congrats on making the merge! Too bad no one gives a shit about you unless you make jury :)

Can you do me and the lurkers a solid and rank all the people left in the game?? You can rank them on any metric you want, idc.

Good luck out there!!

First of all, that is disrespectful to all of the robbed pre-jurors of all previous games!

Second of all, sure thing. I will rank this cast.

We're just gonna do "trust the most" to "trust the least" scale here. 1 being most, 13 being least.

1. Shamar
2. Liz (I am still trying to figure out what to do about her, because she is not in a good position, which means I am not as long as she's here. Good news is she is probably more of a target than I am, and I think my target goes away for a few rounds once she's out)
3. Michael
4. Rocker
5. Matt
6. Hope
7. Aurora
8. Allie
9. Reynold
10. Jess
11. Sherri
12. Stephannie
13. Tai

Also I need to just get this out there: I am not one of those gamebots who has a boot order planned out in their head rounds in advance. I prefer to just think about a round ahead and adapt as necessary. I don't think there is a "wrong" or "right" way to strategize, but at the same time I think adaptability is key in this game because there are lots of elements of this game one cannot control.

Talking to Jessica about Biggie Smalls really has the same energy as explaining to my parents what Tik Tok is.

MERGE!!!!!! You made it!!!!! You’ve outplayed, outwitted, and outlasted 10 people in this game so far – congrats and keep it up! I’ve just got a few questions to tide you over for the weekend.

1. So first off, How are you feeling? Did you expect such a low-key day yesterday? How are you taking advantage of the simplicity?

2. What’s the most surprising thing you’ve learned since merging into one tribe? Any new information cause you to re-evaluate your short or long term strategies?

3. How far forward are you looking now that you’ve made the merge? Are you more of the “one step at a time” type or the “plan out every detail” type? Is there anyone who you know you will NEVER work with (or NEVER betray)?

4. I’m a sucker for self-reflection – how do you think you’re doing? How do you think your competition sees you?
