I'll answer these when I wake up, but I can definitely do the podcast whenever.

1. Rough blindside tonight via Idol. Did you see it coming at all?
I COULDA BEEN A CONTENDA!

Rough blindside indeed. I absolutely didn't see it coming. I really didn't think I'd be the one gone if Kenny pulled out an idol. Nick thought it would be him.


2. Were there any plans to split the vote? Who would you have tried to split it onto?
There weren't. Obviously kicking myself for this, but I really didn't think I was in imminent danger last round. It was hard enough to get any sort of name out of anyone. The thought of getting two names out of a cast that's been dancing around throwing out names up until an hour and a half before deadline is tough. I think if Nick and I had been more nervous, we probably would have tried to get people to split onto Lizzie, since Neal had immunity (that bastard). REALLY WISH WE HAD DONE THIS, TBH!!!!!!!!

3. Who do you think voted against you? Why do you think you were the target?
Kenny (obviously), Neal, and Lizzie. I hadn't spoken to any of them all night except Kenny, but not about the vote. I honestly have no idea why I was the target. Maybe they saw me as a social threat? Or someone told Kenny I was spreading his name (which wasn't actually what happened--I did almost little to no scheming this round at all, which is what makes it so frustrating) and he decided to take me out. Or maybe by ignoring Neal and Lizzie they basically thought I was sending a message that I wasn't with them. WHO KNOWS.

I basically handed that asshole Neal merge immunity, and now look what happens! :p (jk I'm not bitter. This was obviously a good game move...kind of. Now those three are exposed).

4. What criteria do you plan to base your final vote on?
I honestly hold no ill will for anyone left in this cast. Really great people, very social cast, and everyone is really great to talk to. I think anyone left, besides maybe Kenny (not saying that out of bitterness, saying this because he's been somewhat påpãyä and all around lame), really stands a chance.

5. Who are you rooting for? Who are you rooting against?
Obviously I'd like to see my alliance of Nick, Hope, and Woo do well, as well as Natalie who was a joy to play with, but I'm also a massive fan of Jenna and Jeremiah. Jeremiah is a really sweet person and I think he's in a great spot in the game right now. He's liked by OG Lóng (or what's left of it...lol) and it seems like even Old Mushu trusts him to an extent, so if tribal lines to become a think, which they mostly were next round, I think he will be in a great spot.

Actively rooting against Kenny's lil' weasel ass. Great, you pulled out an idol on a 10-3 vote. That will help you for one more round. See you soon, young grasshopper.


6. Which players do you think are playing the best as of right now?
I mentioned above, but I think Jeremiah and Jenna are playing really great games. I think Hope is playing well, but is pretty high vis. I think Natalie is going to slip through. People see her more as a lone wolf and I think she could be a potential swing. How great would a Natalie win be? (The answer is FUCKING EXCELLENT).


7. Any final comments?
I feel incredibly frustrated. I definitely was not prepared to go out this early and I feel like I had so much game left to play.

And to Alina, NOT EVEN TRYING TO SOUND SALTY HERE, but you were not voted out because you were a threat. People thought you were crazy and volatile so they took you out so merge would be more tame. As a result, merge became too tame. And now I'm here.

AYOOOOOOO that's the game, I guess. Never been idoled out before, so I guess there's a first for everything. I'm wishing everyone the best and excited to see how the rest of this season plays out. It's really hard to predict who is going to win this thing with such a dynamic cast.

It's been nearly 24 hours since I was knocked off my high horse. I'm listening to Radiohead and sulking.


RIP Jaison.

Radiohead!!! Good musical tastes will get you everywhere. Knew there was a reason I liked you. :lol:
