Wow! A surprise live double round that resulted in Tai and Allie leaving! A couple of questions about that.

1. Would you say that you were more of a listener or a talker during the round? Who was doing the most talking and whispering? Who were you relying on?
2. Were Tai and Allie going good for your game? Why or why not?
3. The votes tonight seemed like pretty clear majorities in both cases. Is there a large group that needs to be broken up? Or are things more fluid?
4. Who is the biggest threat to your game right now? One player only, no cheating!

I just gave Matt the idol clue... this could either seriously hurt my game or help my game. He trusted me and gave me the first one, time to repay the favor. It's time to start playing for myself and getting a plan B in place.

So after the Allie vote out last night, I needed to reestablish my position in this game. She was someone who wanted to go to the end with me and was a solid number. And the fact that people were so easy to go after her as a threat instead of keep our numbers strong, speaks volumes. So basically my thought process is, what's stopping them from turning on me? On paper, I have some pretty good allys around me. But I don't feel like I'm in a good position. When people don't talk to you about the vote, it's an issue. So my goal today is to talk with Matt and Sherri and make sure that they see me as a good option for them.

I'm just so frustrated but instead of bitching about it, I'm going to do something about it. I'm playing for me and going to do what I need to do to advance.

This game is so fucking frustrating. I never knew Aurora was so manipulative. Like, let it go! I apologizes, so stop brining it up! And I guess how I feel about what happened doesn't matter because what I did was worse? When in reality, it was only bad because she took it the wrong way. My patience level is wearing thin with these people and it's just a matter of time before I snap.

I've been busy today trying to figure things out.. Below is what I have learned:
  • Aurora and I are good. We just needed to hash some frustrations out.
  • Liz and I are basically in 2 groups right now: 1 with Rocker and Aurora and 1 with Michael and Alexis
  • Matt is spilling everything to me today about where his head is at in this game
  • Alexis started the Allie vote
  • Alexis is probably playing the best game right now. She is in good with everyone. She also seems to have many ways to get to the end. I'm not going to let that happen.
  • Liz is paranoid that Matt is trying to trap me.
I'm basically telling most people what they want to hear. I'm trying to appear approachable and friendly with everyone while trying to get a good understanding of where I stand. If and when I feel my position slipping, I will have options to work with to flip the scrip. I'm not going to let my lack of awareness be my downfall for a second time.

I promise I'm not avoiding your questions on purpose...


1. Would you say that you were more of a listener or a talker during the round? Who was doing the most talking and whispering? Who were you relying on?

I was a listener who was trying to be a talker. But as you can see above, I felt a bit left out of the vote last night and I'm NOT going to let that happen again. Sherri will be going tonight unless she wins immunity and in that case, Steph will be leaving. And if that doesn't happen, Jess is in trouble.....

2. Were Tai and Allie going good for your game? Why or why not?

I've been gunning for Tai for like 6 rounds now. So him going, is great for my game. Allie on the other hand hurt my game. She was a great shield and a great ally. Her and I had gotten really close and she trusted me. It's hard to lose someone you trust and reciprocates that trust. Having to act like the whole thing was fine, sucks. But I have reevaluated today and I feel better about my position. I hope Allie stays active in the server after the season, she is good people.

3. The votes tonight seemed like pretty clear majorities in both cases. Is there a large group that needs to be broken up? Or are things more fluid?

This is an interesting questions because I think the majority lies with myself, Liz, Michael, Alexis, Hope, Rocker, Shamar, and Aurora. That leaves Matt, Sherri, and Stephannie. But Allie was in our group, at least in my eyes, and Alexis cut her as soon as the opportunity arose. So that is exactly why I am exploring my options when it comes to people I'm working with down the road. I refuse to put all my eggs in one basket just to get screwed over again. I will work with almost anyone left in this game. And I have a good relationship with 80% of the people left. So the odds of me being able to find someone to work with on any given vote, are pretty good. Things will get really interesting around f8 or f9. That is when a single person flipping can cause get a group the majority. I'm working on that now. I know it is 2 tribals away but being 1 step ahead is the only way I have a chance.

My biggest issue so far this merge has been that I keep holding back when it is time to make a voting decision or have my voice be heard. I did really well premerge in doing that. I need to just stop being scared of russelling feathers and just go after what I want. I refuse to be a goat.

4. Who is the biggest threat to your game right now? One player only, no cheating!

Alexis, hands down. She got a taste of power with the Allie vote and she now knows her position is pretty good in this game. She also is close with many people. Getting her out is going to be tricky, but I like a challenge.
