You see this fire there? The one like, right under my ass? Well ya. It's been well and truly lit.
Mr. Hoang, you don't try lying and double-crossing Natalie Anderson. I'm ready to play. Before you all watched Natalie-lite. But we're literally going onto full mode really quick now, because this game is speeding up and I'm not about to be left behind. Jaison was my closest ally in this game and now that he's gone, it really sucks SO much. But I'm equally filled with a hunger for revenge, and I want to do him proud. So yeah, game on. | | |

Considering now everything is forced into playing this game and putting contingency plans in place, I've decided to go out and attempt to make some solid deals with people who I hope to move forward with in this game. The main issue right now is to be not too abrasive and to not come across too schemey. My intentions by doing this prior to the immunity challenge is in the hopes that it'll establish some trust, and then if one of my potential allies wins immunity, it's not as though I'm only approaching them because they won immunity. In this game I think I'm very rounded socially and the only person right now I don't talk to a great deal is Liz. I feel like she is in part to blame for the Jaison disaster and part of me wants to rid the game of her. She's potentially a huge threat and I don't want people like that around Lóng enough to realise my whole game plan. But she is well connected, and that's the main problem with trying to get her out. But back on topic with alliances, I've basically planted a seed of a four person alliance of myself, Woo, Hope and Nick. With Rachel and Hunter as a loose fifth and sixth member. When I spoke to Woo and Hope about this they were very eager, and right now it's definitely a game of us vs. OG Anaira. But my mind is constantly thinking of original tribal lines, and it doesn't take a mathematician to tell that even in that 6 person alliance, Nick and I are well on the outs. Therefore it's still within my best interests to keep Jeremiah and Rita close. Basically so that I can even out the numbers by final 6 and still be in a good position. You might think I'm thinking too far ahead, but failing to prepare is preparing to fail and that's definitely not my motto for this season. As I've said previously, this game is all about anticipating moves and acting quickly to snuff out any chance of them happening against you and that's what allows your to go far in this game. And believe me, I have no intentions of leaving here any time soon... | | |

So at this point it's all heads down to get something sorted for this vote. Everyone is determined to avoid a repeat of last round and the theory of idol paranoia has definitely peaked in this game so much that nobody feels safe. But to be quite honest, I feel like I'm in a pretty good spot. I'm minutes away from solidifying an alliance with Hope, Woo and Nick. And similarly with Rita, Jeremiah, Nick and Jenna. So if I'm able to effectively play the middle, this could be advantageous to me. The reason why I pride my game on such social grounding is so I'm able to keep my options open, and so far that's proving successful as Kenny has now approached me telling me he wants to vote for Jenna this round, since she's a huge social threat. He said he believes a reason he was targeted was due to the Anaira thing and he is keen to shed that, so I told him that I was down. Now this means I need Kenny to leave this round, which is pretty difficult since people are still worried that it's an obvious move and could be easily anticipated by Liz/Neal who could have another idol to use on him. But I can't see this happening when Liz and Neal are surely aware they're on the outs. So in order for me to continually keep my jury resume clean, I need Kenny to leave. He can't be pissed at me if I vote him out, since he showed his 'true allegiance' by lying to me last round - even though he was perfectly correct to do so. That isn't the point, in his eyes, I was a loyal number to him and he turned me away. So I'm more than happy to slam the door in his face and send him packing. But even if he does have an idol, and Jenna does leave, then that's also cool because an Anaira still leaves and I wouldn't be complaining about that. But this game is to do with timing as much as it has to do with strategy. And I'm going to sieze this timing to rid the game of Kenny, when it makes the most sense for me to do so if he wants to understand why I did it, in order for him to ultimately give me that valuable vote at the final tribal council. | | |

New news coming to me from Jeremiah is that there's an alliance consisting of Woo, Hope, Neal, Liz, Kenny and Jeremiah. And they want to vote for Jenna. Now, I knew about the whole Jenna thing. And Jeremiah is now talking about how Hunter knows, but no mention of me. So I'm happy about that. If I can get the information, without being directly associate with it, it just works wonders in reducing my overall threat level. I honestly think I'm really underestimated at this point, and maybe I'm being dumb and people see me as a scheming, conniving bitch. But I don't think I'm wrong. I think people just see me as a loose end, and I'm not complaining about it. We still have a Lóng way to go, and I've been in and about all the strategy of this game without being too overbearing or abrasive about it which has been my plan all along. With Jeremiah exposing the other alliance to my current one of Me, Nick, Jeremiah, Rita and Jenna, it means we're not going to be splitting. So I've taken the opportune moment to pin the vote on Kenny, by saying he's least likely to have an idol and I doubt Liz or Neal will play one on him when they're not exactly flavors of the month. I just hope that exposing this information doesn't blow back in Jeremiah's face. Jenna might get worried and try to pull something that could incriminate him, as we saw Stacey do to me all the way back in round 1. I'd have told Jenna that Kenny was gunning for her, but it's much too risky for the game I'm trying to play. And you can't do the same thing twice and expect different results. This game has always been an individual game for me to some degree, but now more than ever there's pressure on myself to be stronger and every decision I make is gonna play a huge role in my path to the end. I'm just ready for the challenge, and thrilled I have the opportunity to work my way through this game! | | |

Such stress just before the deadline. The game as it stands:
2 GROUPS:
    :nick
vs.
    :kenny
Middle ground
 
So basically Hunter wanted to make the chat with everyone excluding Neal/Liz/Kenny to make a split. But now since Kenny approached him saying he could get Jeremiah to vote either Rita or Jenna, Hunter is sketched out by Jeremiah. He's been wanting to make this chat all day, but doesn't want to commit by making it which sends out red flags. So I told this in the chat, and Jenna obviously just thought fuck it, I'll do it. I guess she feels she has nothing to lose at this point. But I honestly wouldn't be surprised if this was a decoy and they were targeting me or somebody else at this point. The game has just been crazy and I've come to expect that nothing is ever as it seems, and almost always the stark opposite of what it seems. So yeah. There's also mini-alliances which everyone kinda ignores and are just there. i.e.
The game is just extremely complex and convoluted right now, I expect after this vote for things to be made a bit clearer and for there to be a firm line drawn in the sand. Hopefully I'm still here to witness it.

And so in Jenna's chat it was decided that OG Mushu would vote for Kenny this round and everyone else would vote for Neal. Woo and Hope are in that chat so I think the hope (excuse the pun) is that it gets back to Neal and another idol is flushed, because we are gonna all just vote Kenny rather than Neal. But honestly, I'm worried by it. I can't do anything about it, but I think there's gonna be too much collateral damage as a result of this, lying to Hunter and Rachel isn't exactly ideal when they're like, in the middle and have potential to split next round. This is in Jenna's best interests, because she has to do it to save her ass. But as for anybody elses? I don't think so. I'm not too annoyed by it, because Kenny is still leaving which was overall my plan for this round anyway. But I think we've went the total wrong way about it and are possibly gonna make wounds impossible to heal after this. But hey, that's all pack and parcel of Survivor, right? I just prefer to be a bit more stealthy in the way I stab people in the game. This is blatant, and it makes me feel uncomfortable. | | |

I brought up to Hunter about the alliance and stuff and how Jeremiah told us about it and stuff. I don't want to bear the brunt of the damage with Hunter and Rachel about this vote which became nothing but a mindless drive to save Jenna's bacon in the last 15 minutes. Even Nick was brainwashed into it. If an OG Anaira went, I was happy. The group outwith Jenna and her closest allies just didn't think with their head here. So I gave Hunter a bit of a heads up, without giving too much that maybe the split wasn't gonna happen because of their big alliance or whatever. I'm just worried because sure, we might get Kenny out this round. But it doesn't change the fact that Hunter or Rachel are presumably gonna be in the middle of the game, and to lie to them and slap them in their face isn't smart, and it's not thinking forward to what we might need them for in the future. I just hope Hunter appreciates what I was trying to do. | | |
