Hey, guess what. YOU MADE THE FINAL 10!!!!! :party: :celebrate: bananalama
Take a second, congratulate yourself…And now prepare the hardest road in the game yet – your journey from here to the finals.


1. First things first, the vote tonight. Were you in the loop? Were you the one controlling it all? And most importantly, was it a good or bad thing for your game?


2. These clues for the immunity idol have seen quite the bidding war! How important do you think that idol is going to be if/when it’s found…if it hasn’t been already?


3. Another type of immunity up for grabs comes from that Partner twist. How many pairs do you think are left at this point, and how dangerous is that twist going to be for you?


4. As much as I want to hear more about your game plans and path forward (and please, do not skimp on the details), I’m also here as your resident non-therapist to make sure you don’t get too wrapped up in the stress of it all. So tell me, what’s been a standout moment for you in this experience? An ally, a move, a conversation, or even an instance – what’s something that’s always gonna stick out as a positive?

1. First things first, the vote tonight. Were you in the loop? Were you the one controlling it all? And most importantly, was it a good or bad thing for your game?

I knew that Rocker was the vote and probably had the majority but I chose to not vote for him. This has been a trend as of late. As much as I want to be a loyal player and work with my allies, it's on the verge of fucking me out of this game. I need to start playing for me. I'm currently talking with Sherri and Stephannie seeing if there is a crack. I honestly think that Rocker leaving will be good for my game though. He told me he had said some not nice things about me before he left. So I'm taking control of my own game and seeing what I can do to save myself. No one else, well maybe Michael, but no one else other than me is looking out for myself and I have to constantly remind myself of that. I'm having to set aside my pride and possibly admit that I'm not on the track to success. That's hard for me but I'll do it.

2. These clues for the immunity idol have seen quite the bidding war! How important do you think that idol is going to be if/when it’s found…if it hasn’t been already?

Why did I bid 65 coins for a riddle that DOESNT MAKE SENSE :curse:. My brain literally does not work in riddles. I shared it with Liz, Alexis, and Michael. Only because I feel they will let me know if they find it. It's not even that I want it in my position, I just want to know where it's at. I also like the rush of an auction.


3. Another type of immunity up for grabs comes from that Partner twist. How many pairs do you think are left at this point, and how dangerous is that twist going to be for you?

There are only 2 partners left: myself and Michael and Liz and Alexis. What's great is that I think people see Alexis and Liz as a bigger threat than me and Michael. So if they are hellbent on splitting up a duo, it will probably be Liz and Alexis. And holy shit would I love to have that idol right about now! I got me a good one thought :heart:


4. As much as I want to hear more about your game plans and path forward (and please, do not skimp on the details), I’m also here as your resident non-therapist to make sure you don’t get too wrapped up in the stress of it all. So tell me, what’s been a standout moment for you in this experience? An ally, a move, a conversation, or even an instance – what’s something that’s always gonna stick out as a positive?

I will share more about my game plans and path to move forward in the morning.. for now, I will leave you with this standout moment!

2 moments come to mind: the first was after the first swap when I had been blessed with a tribe that consisted of my #1 (Liz) and #2 (Jed). We were on top of the world and had a great path in front of us. Working with both of them was so much fun for the short while before the next swap

and 2, was the partners twist and meeting Michael. He has so much passion for this game and I absolutely love it! He is a great guy to be aligned with and I know we have been through a lot but I think we are strong because of it. I love this game and being able to share it with someone who also loves this game, makes it so much more fun! :heart:

You guys wanna hear something pathetic? I literally studied all of the challenges from Tanz and made sure that I understood each one. Yet, my challenge performance is dog shit.

And Jeff, you always seem to ask a follow up to based on my answer to your TC question.... can ya not? I'm trying to bullshit my way through this game just like everyone else.

This Tai tea is delicious.. and the Rocker tea isn't that bad either :tea: .

So I knew that Tai was targeting me, and had been for awhile. He was snakey and squirrely and thankfully his lies trapped him with very few allies. He offered a final 4 to Michael to turn on me. Michael and I have spent DAYS building trust and our relationship, it looks like that paid off in my favor. I'm surprised to learn about Rocker coming after me ever since I didn't vote Missy.. So having these 2 guys come after me time and time again but not be able to touch me, is pretty impressive. I'm not in the best position strategically but I do think that my early social game is still paying dividends into the late stages of the game.

The good news is, there is still time to make some moves. I told Michael this morning that as a sign of full trust, I would vote how ever he told me to. I don't want to be a goat but I will lay low and be a pawn for a couple rounds. I have been on t he wrong side of the vote for almost every round this merge, some were knowingly but others were not. That is not the place I want to be at. So I think I'm going to take the next couple rounds to be a follower and find where my place is at. I still think that I have a good amount of allies around me that what me here and will protect me. But I need to find a way to get this game back into my hands. So this recalibration is very much needed and will hopefully be the start of my trek to the finals.

I'm not saying that I'm turning my back on Liz, but I have been following her since the merge and it has not paid off for me. So I need to reconsider what I want out of this game. I love her too death but I said in the beginning of the game that I will not mold my game around anyone and I need to keep to that.

I think this is a good start to bettering both my game and my position. More to come later. I hope I have made you guys proud. I cant believe I have made it this far. This second chance has been so much fun, stressful lol but fun. Hopefully I can leave the flop reputation behind m now! :heart:

Today has been an adventure... There was a lot of scrambling and trying to get the numbers. Hope and I had a good talk and I feel like I have no choice but to trust her. If I were a betting woman, I would say that I'm in trouble but I'm not going to go down without a fight. Michael is being super sketchy, Hope is seemingly being too good to be true, and Aurora is hard to get on board. So basically the stars would have to fall in alignment for me to make it much further. Here is who I need to get for this vote: myself, Michael, Liz, Alexis, Hope, Aurora and Shamar would be great as well. Really, any combination of those that make up 6 total is what we need. But at this point, idk if I trust any of these people. Hopefully I can fake it.

I really don't want to go home yet. I'm so close to single digits and I know that this game can change so swiftly. I just need a chance. I gotta do something... Unfortunately, I'm not sure what that is yet.

I would like to state for the record that if this all goes to shit, it's fully on Alexis. She was so ready to make a moved that she may have fucked our entire group. She would have voted out Stephannie instead of Allie at the double tribal. I'm so frustrated that these people are so willing to blindly follow someone. If we voted Steph instead of Allie, we wouldn't be in this situation of needing to desperately find numbers to go in our favor. We would be up one and they would be down one. Simple math folks. Now it will take a miracle to survive to the weekend. I really hope it is her neck on the line tonight because she is the reason we are in this spot.

But what do I know :eyeroll:

Tonight has been a roller coaster of emotions. I almost cried, got excited about the immunity, and found the crack I’ve been looking for. I don’t know what’s going to happen but I’m here for it and I’m here for the long haul!

I can’t believe I made single digits! :hug:
