I know I had briefly mentioned the possibility of getting rid of him down the road, but I didn't mean THIS ROUND.

APPARENTLY we should have split. I had no idea we'd even need to. Honestly the reason why I didn't really want to was because I didn't think Erik or Heather were going to vote Zmanda. I thought they were going to throw their votes away again. As the deadline approached both had mentioned telling Zmanda they were going to vote her, but I still didn't 100% trust that.



I do know one thing. That move didn't work because of Zmanda posting attacks and getting me mad. That move worked because Jerri made a smart play. Have to hand it to her, it was good. I DO know now that taking her to the end is PROBABLY not a great idea. I think Jeremiah would still vote for me in the end if it came down to it, but I need OTHER votes too lol. I think I MAY have 3 votes on the jury right now. Eric, Ronnie, and Jeremiah. If Zmanda isn't there, I have a SHOT at Yul's vote I think? Maybe? Possibly? Potentially?



Tbh a F3 situation with both Zmanda and I in it sounds crazy. We are both gunning for each other and probably will CONTINUE doing that for the next few rounds. I will continue doing it because she will easily beat me in the end, but it is also a plus she has been personally attacking me. Honestly, Zmanda bringing me and like Erik to the end guarantees the win for her. But she won't do that, she is going to try getting rid of me to avenge Kim. Well HOPING she isn't successful that's for damn sure.



Erik was also extremely shocked about what happened. I didn't even care anymore, I straight up told him I don't plan on voting for him ever. He very observantly commented that he is a total goat and may end up determining the winner. Well if that's the case my good friend, I plan on trying my very hardest to get on your good side. Erik has started growing on me so I don't think I will have much of a problem trying to do that. I still think he is anti-Zmanda and that's all I need right now.



Heather was also "shocked" and sent me practically an "I TOLD YOU SO." Please, you were going to throw your vote away probably. AND Jerri had told you she was thinking of idoling Zmanda, so don't act so surprised. It pains me a bit to think her being in my F3 may legitimately end up being my best bet now that Jerri made a really good game move, AND may very well decide my fate for this round depending on how this challenge goes. I tried checking in with her and she claims she still wants to go far with me. Apparently Heather is worried about my jury support (which is stupid, because I have none compared to Zmanda).I tried talking to Heather about that more directly and she STILL seemed non-committal.

What I do know is that the only way I am going to guaranteed be safe is if I win immunity. I'm worried they'd be willing to take me out here and then risk Zmanda being in the F4 to take her out then and have a F3 of Heather, Jerri, and Erik. Generally I am better at challenges than Zmanda so I would see their logic. I just hope they aren't being TOO logical about it, and understand I may not have a good chance at winning in the end. I will KEEP telling people that and hope they believe it lol. I can't let myself believe that, but if others do I'm cool with it.

Erik would probably vote Zmanda over me and I THINK Jerri would vote Zmanda over me. As long as she doesn't win immunity that'd be excellent. I THINK I have a good chance with the challenge. I had trouble trying to figure out Jarana people like Ian, Kelly, RC, and ED. Stephen and Ryan too I'm not feeling amazing about, but I tried. I have a shot to win but I'm not going to get my hopes up.

I was hoping this would be a memory challenge btw. I literally saved the entire board last night.

Oh boy Heather is telling me she is considering voting out Jerri. She apparently went to both Zmanda and I and asked about who would win in an F3 of Jerri, Zmanda, and I. I said Zmanda with a LOT of votes like Shont, Kim, Sierra, MiYi, Yul going her way, and Zmanda said Jerri with Shont, Jeremiah, MiYi, and Sierra. So either way Jerri is being seen as a bigger threat than me, so I MIGHT be ok no matter what this tribal. I didn't have to do much, it's just Heather making the decision, but I think it's great.



Even better? I can tell Jerri that Heather and Zmanda are voting for her and that I will vote with her and TRY to get Erik to get rid off Zmanda. IF they decided to do that of course. If now it's a great way to turn Jerri and Heather against each other. I'll have to see how this plays out later.

Interesting challenge, cause if you mess one quote up, you end up with 2 wrong cause 2 people end up in the wrong place. No one got a perfect score, but someone came PRETTY close, 15 correct out of 17. Winning this challenge with 15 correct of 17 is: Spoiler + Kamanda pretty close behind with 13/17 correct! Here are the correct places for the quotes: 1. Dolly 2. Monica 3. Danni 4. Liz 5. Fabio 6. RC 7. Kelly 8. John 9. Courtney 10. ED 11. Chef Joe 12. Ryan 13. Lindsey 14. Stephen 15. Ian 16. Sundra 17. Julie

.....stupid........old jarana.........guessing game.........ugh.

So now with Jerri winning that it appears that either Zmanda or I are for sure going. I was hoping Jerri would lose the challenge, but then I would somehow try and save her and turn her against Heather at F4. I THINK I can still do the turning against each other thing, just a matter of staying in until then.

Honestly it's still stupid to think Zmanda is less of a jury threat than me. I know I am going to need to be talking to Heather more, AND probably tell Jerri about what she was talking about with considering voting her out. Jerri has unfortunately risen from goat status to front runner after 2 IC wins in a row and eliminating Jeremiah. I THINK she is on my side, but I honestly don't know anymore. With the deadline being so far away it's going to be a bit nerve-racking, especially considering not as much talking has been happening these last few days. It's been a much more quiet game than it started out as.

Omg omg omg omg. I have been flipping out for these last few rounds that I have no chance at winning because of a bitter jury. I THINK I actually have a pretty decent shot. Literally everyone (Jerri, Erik, Heather) has told me they were voting for Zmanda. Jerri still seems to think out F2 is good and she said she would vote Heather next round so at worst I would have a tie breaker to compete in. I think Erik would help me out over Heather because I THINK I'm closer to him (and more likable than Heather) so if it is F4 and I am still in, Erik would probably stick with me too, even if Jerri doesn't.



Jerri was telling me she didn't want to vote me out at F4 mostly because I'd probably have a breakdown getting eliminated there again. She's not wrong lol. But I am worried that if I vote out JERRI at F4 she will be super mad. I tried laying some groundwork to say that when I was voted out at 4 last time I wasn't bitter, and that Julie did a good game move so I couldn't be. Basically I was trying to set it up so that Jerri would understand and not be too mad if I do vote her out there. If she is mad (which she would understandably be) then welp, not much I can do. I have a good shot to win against Heather and Erik. Zmanda hates them, and that alone is going to carry a lot to a FTC. If Jerri wins immunity next round, I still think she'd take me and I would stand A CHANCE against her in the end.

This of course all relies upon me also surviving this vote. I REALLY hope I do otherwise coming to the realization I have a chance at winning would be saddening. It makes no sense for Heather or Erik to want to vote me out. Jerri it would, but she told me she wouldn't. I just have to trust everyone unfortunately, my fate isn't really in my own hands. I just have to hope Zmanda doesn't turn everything around.
