Yas, thank you! <3 Loving each round here, surviving and meeting those incremental goals. Outlasting my previous showing, making F10... and next is single digits, then making it to the final week! It's all leading up to the win though, I can't take my eye off of that. I've definitely not been as overtly villainous as I was on S25... but that was unintentional, I thought I was a hero at the time and read the board back over recently LOL... omg. I feel like I've been low-key lately and probably boring, but I also think I'm playing a decent enough game so I'll take it.
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?
Hm. I was in the loop, and among the first to know, but I wasn't in any sort of control. It was moreso driven by Matt/Shamar/etc. And... here's the thing. I don't need to be in control as long as the boot benefits me, but I also need a means to switch shit up or get my way should I ever need to. So right now I'm on alert that the name was decided when I was offline, but not worried about it.
At first I didn't want to do it. I've always had a good relationship with Rocker. I was talking with Hope and was heavily considering switching the target onto someone like Aurora.... but then Alexis allegedly was pissed. And I was realizing Hope hated the vote too. So you know what? Those reactions told me the vote was a better idea than I realized initially.
My biggest concern yesterday was the possibility of Alexis sitting with all the control in the middle, and even Hope in theory. So the vote did benefit me... it definitely weakened Alexis and now it should be safe to finally go after someone like Liz when we need to.
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?
Oh I should say, lol. The other day it was telling how Alexis was all about working with us. Then spent 70 coins to stop Sherri from getting the clue. Hm... And then yesterday I don't know who Jess was pooling with, but yeah. Of all the people to get it, I feel like I'm very unlikely to see that clue #3. Hopefully they can't figure it out without the first one, but idk... I feel like it's only a matter of time now.
The idol will be important because after tonight we'll know it's the only one in the game, since the 2.0 swap ones expire at F10. And thus far an idol has never changed the result... but the less players remaining the more dangerous they are.
I've looked high and low. First I thought "refuge" was intentional wording. So I was researching Trinidad & Tobago because the winner first played that season and it was conveniently the first FvF. But I couldn't find anything. And I tried with Stranded things too, like Lisi because allegedly she found 4 idols, on a season, Jessie because she won FvF1, her initial season, everything. Except merge tribe names but I couldn't find them.
But then the second clue references a specific island. So maybe I was on the wrong track. And "on the line" I thought maybe had to do with an airline, but still no luck. And then I went onto Google maps and drew a line between T&T and Hakeuru or whatever, and the Galapagos islands were roughly crossed over so I thought maybe that's what it was, but no luck. Idk. I'm at a loss right now but I'll keep trying. When I'm not on mobile at least.
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?
It's Liz-Alexis and Michael-Jess who are left. One of them will get it... and we ought to make that happen soon. Because there's still challenges every round. So there's going to be a night with THREE people immune - plus the idol maybe or maybe not floating around - which is only going to be harder the farther along we are. If we don't trigger the reward tonight then we'll be looking at a round where basically half the cast is immune for a vote and that's not good.
I think the Jess-Michael duo is less dangerous to win it. Because I'm with Michael... or so I think... and Jess should be much less threatening if one of Liz/Alexis are already gone. So that makes sense.... and we get rid of Liz tonight. Or even Alexis, but like. I never talk game with Liz lol so...
Granted I'm not closed off to anyone, and I do think Alexis is a more dangerous player, but yeah. We'll see. I think one of those two need to go tonight and I feel like most of the cast would agree? I know it's already come up a bit in my talks with Matt and Sherri.

Hey, guess what. YOU MADE THE FINAL 10!!!!!
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?
The cast! However this game goes and has gone, I've really loved meeting everyone and it's been great getting to know people.
I think Reynold will always be the standout too in that sense, I actually log into the board and find myself missing him a lot even now lol. But I have good things to say about almost everyone, even Liz who I have enjoyed getting to know game-aside.
Actually she will be a standout for me too from this experience. Being such a "hellbeast" during that premerge stretch, and the rivalry with our alliance <3 to just mutually respecting each other enough to not talk game or try to fake anything.
Granted that one will change if she beats me LOL I can't promise I'll always "appreciate someone as an adversary" if they win.
Oh and I got into a fight with the other Stephanie shortly before the game... so her leaving early - and me not even being on the same tribe when it happened - was also a highlight. This is a petty and less positive one though lol.
