Ok so I may have overreacted coming out of last round. I was unsure as to why Rachel flipped but I assumed she decided her best bet was to go to the end with Neal and Liz so she decided to betray our side, cut Woo at 4, and most likely win. I was looking at a daunting majority of 4 that I couldn't surpass without immunity so I went into the challenge and gave it my all but Rita ended up winning (with me in second). I thought this sealed my fate because I assumed my only chance at surviving this round if I didn't have immunity was Rita going home over me.



I ended up talking to Rachel who said she wanted to explain herself after the challenge and she apologized for voting Natalie out but said that she was a crazy overplayer who last minute decided she instead wanted to vote for Woo over Neal, was making deals with everyone, and wanted Rita or I out this round. I have no idea how much of it is true but considering Natalie did try to vote for Woo and seemed to have a deal with Neal based on her exit post, I'm inclined to believe Rachel. My issue wasn't really with any of that. I was pissed that I lose my surefire goat in Natalie but obviously I was more concerned with actually making it through this round. So I told Rachel I understood the move but asked where it left us going forward since I was left out of the vote. She didn't answer my question at first and just said she was sorry but was afraid I'd be mad if she told me about the voting Natalie plan. So I persisted and said that I understand all of that but want to know where it leaves us because, by the looks of it, I'm screwed being the only one in a 2-person minority without immunity. She said Rita having immunity which is good for "us."



The us really threw me off because it meant she was implying she was still with Rita and I. I don't understand why she would be at this point when she has a clear path to the end with 2 goats but so be it. She then says she doesn't think that side will go to rocks since Rita is immune. I am kinda baffled as to why she would imply she is going to force this tie and go to rocks for me. That really serves her no benefit whatsoever and actively risks her life but, again, I'm not going to argue. I literally asked her "wait so you're willing to force the tie for me?" and she tells me that she doesn't think their 3 is very close and would prefer it to be 4-2 but, if it come to rocks, we have no choice. At this point I'm going to agree to whatever else she says because she just told me she is going to rocks for me. Either she's being genuine and is a moron or she's lying and is burning the fuck out of my jury vote in which case she is also a moron. She started to talk about Woo not being close to Neal and Liz (despite them all voting together for rounds now?) and mentioned that Woo said he doesn't want to go to the end with Neal. So her angle is to try and flip Woo on Neal.



I brought up the possibility of Woo being afraid to flip because he'll realize he is outnumbered at 5 by Rita, Rachel, and I (assuming Rachel is actually with us) but she claimed that Woo believes his 3 to be Rachel, him, and I. ?????????? Why the fuck would he think that? I backstabbed him two rounds ago and was ready to pick him off this round after Neal assuming last round had gone my way. Woo is smarter than that. I get the feeling that Rachel meant that is Woo's ideal F3 which does make sense because Rachel is kinda goaty at this point and he believes I have burned lots of votes. He would certainly win in that F3 so I can see his logic but I have to feel like he has better options than attempting to work with me? Either way Rachel felt confident she could flip him on Neal and, if that happens by some miracle, complaining is the last thing I'm going to do.



At this point, I don't know what to believe. Rachel was pushing hard last night but was saying a lot of stuff that doesn't make any sense. Why would she flip when she has guaranteed FTC if she stays on that side? Why would Woo flip when he just about has the win locked if he stays on that side? Do these people really think I've burned that many votes that I'm not a threat because I really think that's not the case? I think there are 3 possibilities for what could happen for this vote, from best to worst:

1. Woo and Rachel both flip. Rachel sticks to her word and we are able to convince Woo it is in his best interest (or it was his plan all aLóng if he wanted Neal out). This will allow Rita and I to get past this round unscathed and to finally eliminate the filth known as Neal. 4-2 blindside, and a beautiful one at that.

2. Rachel flips and Woo does not. Rachel sticks to her word but we are not able to shake Woo to our side. This forces a tie likely on me and, assuming Rachel is being just a tiny bit honest, we either go to rocks where I am safe or Woo flips and Neal goes on the revote.

3. Rachel decided to lie to me for absolutely no reason whatsoever this round, votes with Neal, Woo, and Liz to take me out, and burns the fuck out of me in one of the dumbest moves I've ever seen.



I don't have a lot of faith in Rachel's intelligence but I have to think she is at least smart enough to not lie to me when she has no reason to at all. Which means I should have at least a tie and might somehow make it out of this round when I probably shouldn't. If I don't, then I won't be surprised or as bummed as if it happened last round. I will be pissed at Rachel lol but oh well. I think I'm on my last leg one way or another and all I can do is hope this round gives me new life.

I'm sorry guys. I tried my best. They're making the right move but I wasn't able to convince them otherwise. Thank you all for an amazing game and for all the likes (and the AMA last round that was pretty sick). This has been one of (if not) the best games I've ever played and I was so happy to be a part of the last noob season. I couldn't squeak out a win and my sixth place streak sadly lives on but I wouldn't trade any of it in for the world. Love you all.

Good game, Iceman!

So sorry to see you go, Nick.
