Final 16! Now that we've culled the herd, it's time to get down to business:

1-There was immunity for sale tonight. Why didn't you buy it? Is there some other thing you're saving all those coins for?

2-One third of the cast has been voted out of the game. Now that we're solidly in the mid portion of season 38, what kind of plans do you have to ensure you make it through the next 8 boots?

3-It's game on, and people are here to PLAY. In modern survivor a lot of people play by the "Meat Shield" strategy and keep a few big targets around in order to hide behind them. Would you consider yourself a big target? or are you hiding behind one?

Alternatively, do you not ascribe to gameplay norms like the meatshield strategy?

Anyways that's all I've got for ya. See you tomorrow!

Well I was saying this in my other confessional. I really did have to work late today. The only reason I logged off was because I spoke up and said I still hadn't eaten dinner, lol. But it was too close to TC so I had to scramble from my phone too.

And honestly I bet their code was Pink, Yellow, Black, Black, Orange but maybe it wasn't. I was trying to pay attention to the challenge but could barely look at it. Because every time I tried I'd get, like, "Stephannie try adding this to the code and running it" and I was on a screenshare with like a dozen other people omg. Anyway. Really disappointed I couldn't help with that challenge, but oh well.

1-There was immunity for sale tonight. Why didn't you buy it? Is there some other thing you're saving all those coins for?

Oh. I would have spent my entire account on it and given immunity to Tai. But I only have 29 coins, so. :( Not that I thought I needed immunity, but the night would have been a lot less stressful if I knew I was safe - because I would have been able to stress less about having to work late/etc.

2-One third of the cast has been voted out of the game. Now that we're solidly in the mid portion of season 38, what kind of plans do you have to ensure you make it through the next 8 boots?

I'm taking it day by day. There's something to be said about looking to the future. I mean, every decision we make is based on that. But adaptability, owning the moment, and dealing with shit as it comes will always be my ideal strategy. My plans? To keep doing what I'm doing, honestly... I'm going to have to seriously evaluate my approach when we hit the merge because I feel like I'm going to be a juicy threat, but we'll solve that problem when we get there.

And yeah. Old Stranded seasons have 9 pre-merge rounds at the biggest from what I've seen.... so it's just about surviving two more tribals. Call it boring, but I have no intention of shaking anything up on this tribe. We have our Puka 2.0 foursome and I'm solid with that. I feel good about Wardog too. And I have nothing against the other two girls... but should we lose again, I'm content to keep things moving in that direction. And yeah, as such, like... the dynamics do set us up for the merge assuming we're merging after Round 9.

3-It's game on, and people are here to PLAY. In modern survivor a lot of people play by the "Meat Shield" strategy and keep a few big targets around in order to hide behind them. Would you consider yourself a big target? or are you hiding behind one?

On that note, yeah, it's probably good Elizabeth is still around. And she'll be good to have as a shield at the merge too. Because I feel like I have lots of the makings of "A Big Target." Like I said in an earlier update... that's just who I am and how I play. I don't think I'd ever come in and be UTR as far as threat levels go unless I'm consciously trying to do that.

So yeah, I consider myself a big target. But I also feel confident in how to play from that kind of role... and now that I'm typing it out, again, Elizabeth also being around will always be a positive for me.

Apparently Missy is trying to "mastermind" the game, and wants to get me out from the other tribe? Lol. Why is she starting drama with one of the few remaining Vets she had no drama with?

On one hand I'm skeptical though. A little convenient for Liz to be telling me this now that she's on the outs on the tribe... plus she's always hated Missy... so it could be exaggerated or just a lie. Especially because first she said Missy wanted Wardog out, and now the story has changed a bit.

Idk. Either way? I trust my allies on this tribe and I'm not worried. When we get to the merge I'm sure there will be headaches, but that's next week's hurdle. Ideally we just win these next two challenges anyway and maybe she'll just leave naturally in 15th or 16th.

[Stephannie]

Yeah it was

Orange Yellow Black Blue Pink
Orange Yellow Black Red Pink

One of those I think. Glancing at the thread now while at work.

[Stephannie]

No that's wrong nvm. Now it's going to bug me lol hold on

[Stephannie]

Black Yellow Black Green Pink

[Stephannie]

We are sending Te Poto to tribal!

I do worry they'll get rid of Tai or someone like that, but we have to win. I'm not wanting to go into a TC where Liz is on the bottom and has an idol, and where a second idol may or may not be out there.

Oh speaking of which...




Thanks, Wardog <3 I have had no time to actually look though. Or even read over either clue in full. But idk. I figure someone already has it at this point.

[Stephannie]

This goes beyond being "funny" or "iconic" or "dramatic" or anything like that.

Absolutely disgusting.

[Stephannie]

maybe Missy was right in this feud all along....

[Stephannie]

That was so disgusting. Throwing a challenge is one thing, fine, but the behavior was repulsive. And now Wardog is gone and she didn't even use the idol.

Aurora is on my shit list too now too. It's personal, and her ass needs to go ASAP.
