Last night was a total shit show. It wasn't until 3 hours before the vote was due that people started pushing names. It basically became Nick or Alina. I personally wanted Nick gone for a number of reasons.

1. We hadn't talked until 2 hours before the vote. Alina had at least asked for my vote earlier in the day.

2. Alina was painted as a loose cannon, where Nick was more level headed and had an obvious friend in Jaison. You tell me which one is more threatening Lóng term.


So Liz makes a group chat with myself, Woo, Ken, Hope, Jeremiah. I thought it was pretty random. I in no way see that as a legitimate alliance. Especially with what happened later. We tried talking about which way to go but people were being so awkward with their opinions. I finally voiced my opinion. I felt that since Nick had not even talked to me, I felt more compelled to vote for him. I also believe that if the rumors of him being semi påpãyä were true then we should DEFINITELY vote him out now. You leave a floater or UTR player unchecked, they all of a sudden become the most valuable player in the game.

PART 1 OVER

After I voiced my opinion, the chat became super awkward. I knew immediately that it really didn't matter what I said, these people already made up their mind. Hope and Woo start privately messaging me saying they really do value my opinion and how if I really wanted Nick to go then we can do it. Idk I appreciated it but at the same time I feel like all they were doing was giving me the illusion of control. Kenny and Jeremiah already voted Alina before we even decided on anything which showed me even more how little my opinion mattered.

It's not like I cared about Alina leaving, I really didn't. It's just the way it went down that really made me uncomfortable. I spent the rest of the night getting to know Nick because since getting him out might be harder than imagine, I need to make sure I have some sort of connection with him. You never know when a pawn will become a queen.

Liz seems to be fine with everything, but I think she trusts Woo or Hope too much. I like those two as well but I have the mindset that they need to be dealt with at some point. I'm not going to f4 with those 2.

I think this round will be very interesting. Are they really going to let the 6 Anaira make top 12? Or does it even matter if Kenny/Woo/Jeremiah/Hope/Nick/Jaison are all buddy buddy. I might be reading too much into stuff but I'd rather be overtly paranoid than comfortable.

HEY I WON IMMUNITY!

It's a little bitter sweet. I'm glad I'm safe but I don't know if I want to paint myself as a challenge threat this early. OH WELL!

I'm going to play this round extremely chill. I'm fight to protect people that I trust but other than that, I'm not too concern about who goes. 13 is a big number, we still need to take some pieces off the board.

My strategy in this game is just to make myself super accessible to people. I want everyone to feel like they have a good relationship with me. I want to be someone that people want to approach and use for their benefit. I think as Lóng as I keep up this act, while focusing on how I can really take control of this game, I'll be set.
