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?

Things are kind of moving too fast to take a good long snapshot, but I guess I'm the last to realize Jess is just doing way too much. I was trying to bring her on the winning team here. I hope this hasn't cost me Aurora, who on her own I get along with great (even though we are 0-3 on voting together in tribal council lol)
Damn. No way Missy went home with it. Jess is unbelievable. I dont mean that as in an exclamation of endearment. I literally cannot believe the things she types to me any longer. Wouldn't shock me if 'Rora has been sitting on it...actually...that's probably it
Also it is definitely part in my mind HOPE went to Missy and is the biggest R-A-T ever and is hiding in plain sight. I am most definitely considering that. But there’s so much smoke around Jess on everything rn
Ughhhhhh jessssss christ wtf. She maintained she was a Shamar voter to me today. I was a ready made ally for her that wanted to take her to the end. I believe the expression is “THANKS, I HATE IT”
Immediately removing Jess from the game would be a great relief. IDC if she’s jury or what, she’s radioactive now. Aurora approaching me about Voting out Allie is also an interesting idea. Aurora and I good example of two level headed people playing this game and still not being on the same page somehow. I’m sure word will get back to Tai that I was counting him out too. Ugh. Stephannie is gunna win this season y’all been saying it for over a week now
What could I possibly have said to Jess to make her doubt I was with her....48 hours ago I wrote here my dream scenario is cutting spalexis at the end in favor of Jess.
In her words, “ladies need more reassurance”. I’m pretty sure that’s a Jess problem, not a gender issue

lol at my dumb ass still being confused. One vote was late, which shouldn’t have counted...but we still know it was a Missy vote? What is Hope doing
Operation makes Hope like me I think did not go well
I should have just shut up all day and I’d be doing way better. And most of this week really. Definitely hurt my game overall and have suffered casualties (most of the vets) but I’ve got some tricks up my sleeve
I uncharacteristically have let my emotion seep into the gameplay the last few days. I was finally able to get with Liz last night and I think we both have much fuller pictures now. She was able to get me back to thinking logically with Jess. We’re going to need Jess right now. Jess was the only person (and I guess Stephanie early in the game) who my prior relationship before the game could affect. I thought she would inherently be with me no matter what. Major mistake of assumption on my end, it probably happens a lot in these games. I can step back and understand some things I probably could have done better with Jess, but really her caginess and paranoia are her undoing. I’m going to have to be much more terse with her from now on, no kids gloves. She’s a big girl tho she’ll be able to handle the consequences of her game actions.
Aurora is probably the true middle of the game right now, I’m glad I really continue to work at being with Aurora. I’m going to hopefully sell to Aurora we are in the middle together, I can’t see her going with the “Tai group” anyway. I’m with her we need a new player out there. Reynold, Sherri, MAtt, Allie maybe Hope...have gotta be some of the next few boots.
Somebody ratting out the merge plan is still kind of a mystery. It could only be Jess/Hope or Aurora + Allie + Matt to Missy. I guess Jess is still the most likely. I feel like I definitely told her I was getting max info from Missy...Jess finally “revealed” to me last night she’s worried I’m actually ride or die with Stephannie, which isn’t true at all. Not that I don’t work well with Steph, but kind of fallacious assumption. I can at least see thinking that from a game perspective on her end for once. That doesn’t explain everything away though, she was immediately cagy to me on the original all vets team. Green team 1. She’s definitely afraid of Tai, so it’s not like she’s not voting with the Liz/Alexis team.
I’m generally concerned about all of the things I’ve said to Hope. I’ve taken some big unnecessary risks with her, really hoping that Hannah goodwill will take me far. Still confused about her role in the Missy vote, or if she was just confused or what. If she starts telling my game to people she’s going to be telling them I’m dying to vote Jess, which is probably music to Stephannie/Sherri etc. ears. If it gets back to Jess O well she did it to herself/what other options does she have…….no longer planning on voting Jess even though I was definitely eager to completely remove her from the game last night.
So I’ve gotta get with Stephannie and make her think we’re all good...see whats up. Worst case I see merge vote kinda shaping up like this:
Me/Liz/Alexis/Shamar/Michael/Jess
Vs.
Sherri/Matt/Reynold/Stephannie/Tai
Aurora/Allie/I guess Hope potentially up for grabs/unknown. I know Aurora wants to cut Allie (if shes honest with me...I think she is), but we might have to wait a vote or 2 before we do that. I do want Alexis and Liz to be the last pair standing...I think they will find a way to keep me safe for the vote when they are both immune. You gotta put trust in somebody eventually right?
Idols...I have to assume all the stuff told me about expiring pre-merge idols is a crock if shit, thanks Jess. Bc it was true one time in your season does not make 90% sure to me about stuff. Somehow Liz thinks Sherri has Stephanie’s idol...that doesn’t fully add up for me.
I like the idea that Aurora is sitting on green team 3’s idol. That would be best case, compared to Jess or Tai having it. Michael secretly having it would be great too. Hope again, also a possibility. Freaking Stephannie will probably be able to suss out this idol Tai bid on. I shouldnt sell Tai so short, he might too. It’s gunna get back to Tai I was out for him…
But I have the advantage nobody knows my actual relationship with Missy. Missy didn’t really “blow up” at me at all...just confronted me about the rat info and then left me on read. I’m OK lying and saying Missy made a whole shitshow and knew I was voting Missy. I have plausible deniability that I always wanted Missy and only Missy. Ayyyyyeeeeeeee poor Tai I’m sorry man I’ve treated him kind of crappy for a guy who wanted to be with me so bad. But me/shamar/alexis was a thing as well as me/aurora/Jess or so I thought. It didn’t really leave me a lot of options. I should have just shut up all week tho and I would have literally all 13 people coming to me with their plans.
Missy is the funniest person, I really love her. Other than Alexis I looooooooove Missy the most and I’ll def try to be friends with her after this. I love and respect Aurora too, but Missy appeals to the boyish childness side of me I desperately cling to. Missy was going to have to be handled one way or another though, I’m sure if I could redo it all I could have handled it all so much better. I’m sorry Missy, you keep doing you boo boo.
So yeah. Back to regularly scheduled Rocker confessionaling. Apologies if I’ve been a bit punchy. Y’all can read my logs with Liz or Aurora if you want to see my frustration on full tilt. That’s probably more than I wish I would have shown, but you can’t dwell on stuff. Gotta move forward
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?
