So Alina is gone, but not without her final explosion as was detailed to me by Jeremiah. Basically she decided to tell everyone about the Lóng alliance consisting of every Lóng member left in the game so that was really nice of her. Thanks, Alina. But if anyone holds credence to it, even though it's true, it will tell a lot about their character considering they're taking information from a pissed princess who is having a meltdown. Whatever. All I can do is try to brush it off as best as I can, but I also can't go to everyone and be like, "Oh, and by the way... there is no Lóng alliance!" Cause it just makes me look defensive. There's so many variables regarding it but like I said, all I can do is brush it off. Regardless, I feel I'm in a decent spot considering Nick and Jaison are a duo... But an original Anaira member has to leave this round, I'm not letting them get to the final 12 with 6 of their original numbers left in the game. I don't care if I'm adding too much thought into the element of original tribal lines, because I'm not taking the risk that they make it to 12, get a lucky tiebreaker and everyone else is pagonged until the final 6. It's just not worth it.
I'm also getting to a stage where these challenges feel like they're just trying to intellectually challenge me. I'm so bad with multitasking and it's going to be a total struggle. My challenge intellect is so bad but I'm actually not an awful strategist so I don't understand why I find these challenges so difficult. But oh well, time to juggle some balls until they're coming out of my ears! | | |

So my new philosophy on moves in this huge merge game is basically to spread out my moves. If I make a move one round, I'm fairly idle the next until people forget about it and then I can get back to work the next. In doing this, I can tell the jury I was consistently playing the game all the way through, making valid moves which benefitted me. I feel like this round will be easy to make a move because people like to jump on a bandwagon, and if I'm able to subtly start one then I can sit pretty and make sure that I get my way. The way I plan on doing this is by consulting the locus of all knowledge in this game, from my perspective anyway. And that's Woo. Now, looking at Woo's game history. He chose the initial Mushu tribe for a reason, right? Presumably because he liked them all. So this plays amazingly into my motive this round of gunning for OG Anaira. Because of course we can't let them make it to 12 with 6 people left in the game. Furthermore, I know Woo liked Ozzy and he would probably be down to avenge him. With this, I know Woo has built strong relationships with Liz and Hope, who are the people I've probably spoken to the least. So it all works out pretty great. I approach him to discuss it and he seems so on board, so on that front I'm all good.
I then decide to talk to Nick and Jaison who are similarly conscious of the Anaira problem. Infact, Nick went as far as to throw out Kenny's name. So that's also perfect. I've managed to sow the seeds needed to get this plan to catch fire, and furthermore someone else has given me a name to work with. This could be my first real move in this game, and while it may seem miniscule right now, it'll show my smarts in the Lóng run when I can argue that I made small, useful moves which kept building as the merge progressed. This is my plan anyway. As I always say, I'm here to play and to win. The honeymoon period is over, it's time to get down to business and start playing with fire, but it definitely won't be me who gets burnt! | | |

Everything kinda fell into place for this vote. Kenny thinks Hope threw out his name. So in the unlikely event that he has an idol, then that's good for me because it'll probably be Hope who's idoled out and not ME, and that's the main thing. But of course, I'm helping Kenny fight to stay. I need to keep him on side now that jury has started, and at the end I'll just have to tell him I can't vote with him in case I alienate myself from the group, which I feel he will accept. So with Kenny, I should be in with a good shot at a jury vote from him. | | |
