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!
Intentionally coastered here early merge. You can make the argument Allie wasn't the BEST vote for me there (Matt or Sherri I guess.). But they were all open to working with me. And any of that is better than Stephannie, who was probably the other option. Big thoughts coming tonight
IT’s a week or so in the future. I’ve just been voted out in 5th or 6th place, alexis and michael are like SEE YA DOLT. I saw it coming from the beginning but went along with anyway. “Well I guess I’m rooting for Hope now” I mutter to myself as 4 weeks of regret climbs up my shoulders. This could have been all so different. So many people voted out who wanted to work with me, and instead I was fiercely loyal to an alliance formed before I ever met any of them. RIP MISSY. We could have taken any of them down that night. RIP TAI. You always did want to work with me. RIP ALLIE. You were a pariah to others but not to me. I let your voteout go through to maintain a low profile. RIP LIZ. RIP LIZ RIP LIZ. We laid it out in front of us, a clear path to the end. We recognized the monster before us, and instead I offered you up as bait. RIP JESS. I really fucked it up for both of us. RIP STEPHANNIE. I never gave you enough credit as my ally. Maybe Aurora is still kicking with a chance, but she’s got to consider me one of the worst things for her game. You deserved a better game ally. I don’t really want to vote in the finale and I’m once again jaded with myself and frustrated for ______. Onto the next thing……
-----------------------------
^^^so that’s my biggest strandy fear, Alexis made major power grabs all over the board tonight, and it was very calculated and kind of frightening. Everyone is dying to give her coins, she’s winning immunity in astonishing fashion AND dictating the boot via whisper. It’s not a secret that she (runs?) her own ORG, so she has the advantage of knowing the mechanics of whats coming? Is that the right way to put it? She’s been nonchalant about challenges and then does the maze that fast? Maybe a convergence of coincidences but the imagery of some wack robot programmed to digest twitter, spout baseball, socially connect & spit out the perfect Survivor online role playing game strategy is ...pretty funny actually.
^I think that’s pretty paranoid on my behalf. I don’t entertain TOO much of that as a reality, but just in case, I’m leaving it in.
We are in it deep here though, we’re going to have to make some tough calls. Fun to see this is the group people will really “remember”. Really like Alexis/Michael/Aurora/Hope/Stephannie/Liz as friends after. I don’t think this is some cliquey group, I think those are fun people. Shamar also is great but I get to talk to him less fsr. Still working on that. Jess is the literal star of the season all things considered. I expect her to be a part of that group as well. Nothing against the rest btw I like everyone just reading into after. Missy is obv my queen
At 11 it’s almost like I should be able to work backwards….
Am I an idiot to be in the Final 4 with Alexis/Michael/Shamar? That feels like a terrible deal for me. Jurywise though? Maybe not…..?
IDEAL world is like Alexis/Shamar/Jess/Aurora final 5
I dont mind Hope being in play for the end either. I dont want to turn on Michael but he would do it to me, and it’s too much w/ him and Alexis. Will she turn on him at F7 or F6 for my sake? I gotta figure some of that stuff out. I don’t really want to just play Alexis’ game from here and then lose.
Which is exactly what I had a loooooooooong convo with Liz about tonight. Not getting caught with our pants down and spanked by the new players (michael/alexis really) Is that going to result in a Liz blindside tonight? Another partner gone, Jess loses a partner but gets immunity...idk how I’d smooth that over. Aurora would NOT be down for that. Well, maybe. I dunno. I need to talk to Aurora on this before Alexis, I’ll fuck it up otherwise. Why would I blindside Liz with like, Matt and Sherri in the game though? I need to think that stuff through. IF I bring it up and it doesn’t happen, then what.
So main objective tomorrow is to get with Aurora to see if we are 100p “wowZa” or what. If Aurora is really good with that, she’ll want to vote out Liz tonight or tomorrow. It sounds like Liz is looking to move on them sooner than later. I’m sure Jess is with her and will go with her. I’m not going to blindside Alexis at F9 unfortunately, but how I will navigate it all...gunna be tough.
I did bring up the topic of flipping on Alexis/Michael to LIZ btw...but she was all in and agreed and it went for 90 minutes. It was kind of a bait toss.
Other MAIN objective is to get with Stephannie and get this idol. I have clue 2, shes gotta have clue 1. Lets swap baby. I tried every fucking thing from that JAck London short story “The House of Mapuhi”. That’s not it. A few other things aren’t it. I don’t feel smart enough to get these idols. Probably going to lose out, it always feels like I lose out if I mix it up. This idol will be found in the next 24 hours, if it hasnt been found already. Me and Stephannie can really build on this. I like our “good lookin’ out” alliance.
Going to take a sec to eulogize Allie-------
Allie - EVERYONE said you were difficult to deal with and a hardcore gamer. I just agreed and said w/e back, but IMO you were really pleasant to be around when I started to talking to you and I think we had a blossoming strategic alliance. I’m kind of terrified of your abilities, in ORGing as well as the challenges, so um, I’m not bent up about the loss strategically. Just saying shout out you I thought you were cool. You have been such a nonpart of my story I really wanted to @you in here
Next 3 boots……….
Matt
Liz
Sherri (maybe Jess...yikes)
Maybe Liz has to go now. Maybe Hope CAN go in 9th place or so. I’m more NERVOUS than confident about all of this.
I guess I am the only one to ever mention voting Matt. Whoops. Noted. Could be Sherri tonight, could be Stephannie. She shut down sharing the idol clues. Makes me really kind of want to go Stephannie tonight :o
Did she just propose this as her F5??? It’s not the worst...she’s possibly also asking me to bring Aurora as #6. Who would she want to vote tonight? Jess and Liz asap obv. If we do Stephannie tonight I can pretend I’m with this no matter what
Wtg Hope. Would be funny if this is someone else’s idea
Damn Shamar coming for me bc I’ve been mad lazy in upkeep. The guy has given me nothing in return tho after I laid out everything I knew on a mat for him and proposed a final 3 where I never vote him out
Oh well. I have allies who have my back in this game, that’s how I wanted to play all along. If it takes an idol or something wicked to get me so be it.
