Feb 11th: Missy ded.
Anyway yeah about Missy, the bitch dead. The creature got keelhauled, and is no mo'. At least it was the most entertaining TC to date for this season, and thank god the whispers made a re-appearance! I was waiting for when that would happen, and I knew based on the crazy shitstorm that happened before the vote that there would definitely be whispers anyway, but Missy was definitely gonna be using that whisper just like in Tanzania.
So... Rangiroa huh? It's gold and looks very sheen, I like it. I suspect that it will be like my season, where they only merged right before the challenge started, or some crazy shit like that. And let me tell you... that whole challenge and merge was LEGENDARY (RIP Chelsea though) and my goodness, this will be entertaining for the ages.
However, some things might go differently than expected. But, if it were to go like how it did on Tanz, then they still could compete as different tribes for a "tribal immunity" at the first merge vote or so, but I am positive that the next person leaving will be part of Rangiroa.
Rangiroa... what funny name can I come up with for Rangiroa? What are some R names..... rancid, ranger, rangiroar, roar, raincoat, rinkle (wrinkle). Eh, the short form will probably just be Roa or something I suspect.
Anyway, let's dive into some things. Let's get to talking about the F14!
After the Missy vote, the people who were left out of that vote were obviously pretty pissed off. It's never a good feeling on multiple levels when you are left out of a majority vote.
Jessica is one of those people, and this bitch is getting more paranoid by the minute because of that (well, not solely because, but rather in addition I should say). She needs to really relax, but not totally abandon her post. It was fucking hilarious that she also fucked up that whisper too, haha some things never change. I'm not sure
Shamwow noticed that accidental Jess whisper to him or not. I mean, he probably didn't even know he was at tribal council. He's just a goat now, thru and thru.
Aurora is... continuing to be an interesting person. Miss her vid confessionals though. She is extremely paranoid and I personally think she's one of the few people who could be considered for a merge boot. Or if not, then an early merge boot. She's a "safe" vote. A "default" if a main plan can't work or if people aren't ready to make a big move or blindside against a stronger player.
The fact that people were hesitant to vote out
Alexis says quite a bit. It might have also been the fact they just didn't want to listen to Missy or care, but it was also that they didn't want to get rid of Alexis. That is good for her since she will have her people at merge, and except for a couple of people like Liz, she doesn't really have a lot of enemies. She does have a growing target as a threat, but from what I see, it is nowhere near being dangerous.
Tai did some major sucking up to Missy before the vote but... yeah. Amazingly, against players and lurkers' beliefs, he somehow managed to skate by to the merge, congrats to him. He is likely another "safe" or "default" vote, although I think more people want to actively target him rather than Aurora.
Michael being funny in his confessional wanting to toy with Jessica, and then right after wants to take credit for the Missy vote (which is also funny because, you know, irony) AND make a threat against a threat? This boy is making my vital regions pretty damp. Sorry Winston
I'm pretty excited nonetheless to see him get to work for merge. I hope he makes it far!
Hope continues to be sweet, but alas, she's pretty alone now. At least she has Tai, but since we're about to head into merge, he is a sinking ship. Hope has to hop somewhere else fast if she wants a chance. Maybe she could become a free agent if she plays her cards right.
Rocker is underrated IMO, for both players and lurkers. I don't think he's a great strategist, but he's definitely interesting to watch. His and Jess' relationship is something I'm going to be trying to watch especially. Rocker is weird though when it comes to talking about him here, because it
feels like I have something to say, and then you get to typing and you realize... huh, not much going on here. Since he made it to merge, I think if he just tries to stay in line for a little bit, he could sneak his way to the mid-merge.
Allie is really getting more and more tired of Liz by the day, if her confessionals are anything to go by. Who knows what that relationship will turn into once merge happens and people start to play more individual games. I feel as though Allie will try to stand her ground with other newbies, personally. But she also wants to be connected to Aurora since they are one of the only 3 remaining partner duos left in the game, but, girl... Aurora is someone you don't want to be publicly attached to. Then again, that partner idol is tempting... it feels like a lose-lose situation in a sense. I know there are some players who could turn this situation into a win (having a "default" vote as your partner), but I don't think Allie is that player.

Missy, you dry cunt scab. Go fucking suck off a cow, you fucking waste of space. Thanks for the final shout out. Bye ho. Cant play with the reputation you continue to up hold. Why say my name in your final goodbye? Shows me you’re a fucking loser, always have been, always will be. Obviously obsessed. I wasn’t even there. Glad it wasn’t Alexis or Jessica. Let’s fucking do merge already
Liz always comes thru with the quotes. Cunt scab is revolutionary. Absolutely Elizabeth is one of the biggest names heading into merge, and it's a roller coaster being a Liz stan, since her target is only growing bigger and bigger as she continues to be a big force in the game. She has been playing hard since Day 1 and if she makes it to FTC, she'll be hard to win against. However, I don't know if she has someone as loyal to her as me in Tanzania. I really did plan to go all the way with her if we both made merge. Here, I feel that all of her allies, even the closest to her, have at one point in time or another, expressed discomfort on some level with her, whether minimal or to the point of wanting a blindside in the near future for her. Here's hoping personally that she makes it!
Matt finally a threat, no longer #1 for the trope of "being strategically/socially really important without having a target" since he does, from my perspective, finally have a target. Having said that it is still super small, especially compared to everyone else. Like, everyone knows about Michael/Alexis/Sherri being some of the best newbies for that kind of stuff, but Matt is only starting to finally get a couple eyes on him here and there, but it still is nothing too big. He no longer has Missy as a partner, so I'm sure he is celebrating a touch, on the inside.
Ronald seems to be more active in the IMs than his confessionals, which takes off some marks for me, but he really is set up in a great position right now. He's super UTR, but at the same time nobody is mentioning his name as a serious target anymore either, and he's slowly rising as someone with agency and sway. He will be a merge star, just you wait. He's the 5th douchebro
Sherri has the idol which isn't news, but it's still something worth noting. Actually, she also has another since that partner went home. One expires this very round, and one expires at F10. I don't know if she'll play both, but it's good to always have in your pocket. She might be able to try some unique things with them if she wants, but I feel that Sherri isn't someone to make big moves just for the sake of being flashy if that flashiness will give her unwanted attention, and doing an idol play that doesn't have too many pros over cons is something you don't want, if you are able to just souvenir the idol instead. Sherri might have some dodging to do with Liz here and there, but she might make it out alive during merge. If she can survive the first few rounds, she might make it really far in I think!
Stephannie talks a lot in her confessionals and just the board in general which I applaud her for. Once merge hits, she might want to go back with Tai, and I guess by extension Hope since they both like him. I wonder if any shenanigans could go off of that. 2N still really is against Liz, and I have a feeling that unless something big happens, she'll be the trigger for a Liz vote. She would definitely take a great pleasure in voting Liz out, so that is someone Liz has to be really careful of. I am unsure of how much agency Stephannie has, but I think she's pretty well liked by most people, so she may not have
too much trouble swaying people to target Liz if she wants. We'll see what happens. Assuming the reverse isn't true where Liz can get people to target 2N, I think Stephannie will actually make it far in merge since her name isn't really brought up by a lot of people as a target or a backup.
I'm beat after writing all this...
You know... I'm wondering who will win Fan Favourite and the Valentine Award. FF is kind of easy, it's just moreso a tossup between several people. I think it will be similar to a John from Tanzania; sadly I don't think we'll get a Garrett situation where it is a pre-juror. Valentine is harder, since that's basically the "love to hate" or villain award, and I have yet to see anyone fill that role adequately if I'm gonna be honest. Well, whoever it is, I'm sure they'll be a nice addition to our club.
One day we will have enough players for a Stranded with Valentines season
Honestly I'm not sure how she'll do come merge, probably a mid-merge boot I'm guessing if she doesn't make it to the end. Out of the three Tanzanians she seems to be doing well for herself so far. Just have to keep your position.
