Ahhhh What a round. Just when you think things are hectic and nobody is playing hard it turns out there was a master plan for that vote all along. I am happy for Kenny and it's probably for the best that Jaison is gone but ohhhhhhhh boy did these guys fuck up. They fucked up hard. They just revealed the chopping order in our alliance and clearly me and Hope aren't at the core. Kenny/Neal/Liz are a force and have just thrown my trust down the drain. I spent the night celebrating with them and congratulating them on the sick move that saved our alliance but all the while they have mobilized the forces against them. This reveal brought everyone else together and they made it so easy. I am done with Anaira . They've shown me enough between Ozzy and now this. It's time to spring the big move and this round is gonna be pivotal. Natalie and Nick are running to me and I was already headed in their direction. The 6 Non-Anaira have made it official and I have a plan to catapult us into control.
Late last night Kenny came to me to talk some game. He said him and Neal were talking and felt the best course of action would be to get Nick out of here and then target Jenna after that. I told him straight up that he should consider flipping that around to avoid the Anaira target and he agreed. Is this all a setup? Maybe. Who comes to someone and blatantly says that? It felt like a setup but I think I phrased my words carefully enough so it doesn't look like I'm just blindly targeting Jenna. I want our Justice Franz alliance to agree to take out Jenna next. Rita would be fine too. I don't really care. The point is to tell them one thing then do another. If we agree on Jenna then the 6 Non-Anaira are gonna vote Rita or Neal or who really cares, someone other than what we agreed on. So now we have 2 possible scenarios.
A: They stay true and vote Jenna. Jenna thinks we are voting Nick and Rita gets blindsided 6-5-1
B: They were trying to set us up, They idol Jenna but SURPRISE! Jenna ain't getting our votes. Rita has 6 on her and if they went all in on it and put 6 votes on one of us we either go to rocks or find a flipper cuz I don't think ANYONE left on my side is gonna flip to that OG Tribe Pangonging death trap. We have the clear upper hand should we see a tie but regardless immunity sounds really nice. At the very least someone on our side just to make purple rock odds that much better.
Man, after that we are in the clear. 6-5 and an Anaira witch hunt for a few rounds sounc lovely. our of the 6 Non-Anaira I would say Hope and I have the most clear path to the end AND the best chance at winning.
A lot is about to go down. You can thank ya bois Kenny and Neal for breaking the trust and turning it into this. They had me hook, line, and sinker, man. They could have had their way with me. I still have no idea what the logic was for that vote. It was just so clear that we had enough votes to save Kenny without an idol. 1 of two things happened. Either they REALLY wanted to have a coolio idol blindside and just let it happens when they really didn't need to, OR they honestly did not trust Hope and I enough to just let us save Kenny with the numbers. Either way they lied to us and really put their cards on the table. You better believe I'm gonna make them pay or go out tryiing.
This merge has just not gone my way. I am not being assertive enough and big players are controlling the votes. This past round Hunter took it upon himself to organize the vote since he was immune and he absolutely destroyed my game in the process. He couldn't leave Rita and Jenna out of the vote so he got to keep his connections while we alienated mine. He recklessly told Jeremiah about the plan to go after Neal/Kenny/Liz and completely turned that whole group against me. Like, WHY TF WOULD YOU EVEN CONSIDER TELLING JEREMIAH?? USE YOUR HEAD, HUNTER. He is so concerned with not leaving anyone out that he tells people who can't be trusted. Apparently a ton of drama went down but you would be better served reading about it in someone else's confessional because I don't understand it. The only thing I know is I turned 3 good allies against me and the group that is in control hardly knows me.
I am very very very much considering attempting to flip the game the round. I WOULD LIKE to pull in Liz/Neal, grab a couple friends and form a majority. I know Hope and Rachel are interested but I have to be careful around Neal/Liz. They are probably looking for anything to throw someone under the bus. I would love to make things right with Neal. I like the guy and I really upset him this round but I can't play stupid. It has to be be a good setup for them to bite. I'd like to bring in Jeremiah too but I honestly have ZERO clue where he stands in this game. Like NONE. NO idea whatsoever who he is really with. I need to gather some more information and hope I win this immunity so it gives me some breathing room for this vote. God knows I can't ride it out with the group in power now. It just won't last for me. I can't leave Jenna, Rita, and Natalie around for 4 more votes. I'm not sure what is going to happen so hang tight guys.
Going all in talking to Neal. I would like to bring Mushu in and scoop up Liz/Neal and I'm having a hard time telling if he is being genuine or spilling everything I say to the other group chat of 5. Who knows. This round should make or break me.
Last night when I put my neck on the line to real in Neal I had absolutely no idea it was going to turn out this way so fast. I didn't think that group would form and try to take out Mushu so fast. I didn't think my name would be tossed around all night before finally settling on Hunter. If I hadn't done what I did last night and made right by Neal, I would have gone home at that second tribal council. ME! It's just such a funny game. One minute someone thinks they are donezo and just waiting around to get picked off and the next they save your life.
LITERALLY NEAL!
GLAD I CALLED THAT GUYYYY.
Last night Neal was saying to me that he wished it was him that went during the Kenny round. "At least he gets to be done" Doesn't have to wait around to be slaughtered. (Neal can be dramatic sometimes and thats why I love him) It has just been such a perfect day for me in this game. I've finally seen the fruits of my labor and holy shit they were timely!
It's time to start thinking end game. I don't think anyone left over there has an idol, they would have played it by now. I mean Nick is possible cuz that guy knows hes not going anywhere but the threats should be unarmed. I still think Rachel has it. Anyway, about Nick. Hope has Nick in the palm of her hand and Hunter seems to be close too. I am completely confident that if anyone tries to flip on us we will find out and our auxiliary Nick alliance will go into effect. I am set up pretty good. What I need to focus on from here on out is stepping forward from the shadows. I've done a lot of important work behind the scenes but there are people I'm working with who have overshadowed me. It's kept me safe so far but it's time to make myself more visible so I don't accidentally turn into a goat for them. I have lots of options now, time to make the most of them. Sooo happy to have a couple out of the game who were of no use to me.
before I finish I want to talk about Neal a little. I am just so drawn to him. Neal is a damn character. You would think you were playing with the real Neal Gotleib. Quirky and emotional with a hidden ominous dark streak in him. It's like, it's too complex of shtick to not be real. He's just so cool. I adore the guy and I like talking to him probably more than anyone. I feel like he really trusts me more than anyone outside Liz.
I'm excited for the future, guys. Things are FINALLY looking up. Time to make a name for myself.
