I'm a bitch of my word, and when I say something, rest assured it'll come to fruition. |
But no, seriously. This is crazy. Hunter, probably the biggest threat in the game is gone. And while there's still a glint of worry in me about the whole Woo/Liz/Hope/Neal thing, I'll stick by my decision that Hunter was the right person to go. Sure, we could've voted Liz and have had Neal alienated from Hunter and still be in a good position, but for ME, when I'm hoping to keep Liz/Neal around for at least a little bit longer, it was the better move. I still look at the memory wall just in absolute shock that I'm still here, it still kinda feels like I'm running on borrowed time, but these games are never plain sailing and while there's been a lot to overcome, I'm so proud of my accomplishments so far. Now it's just a case of trying to establish myself as more of a PLAYER. I think right now I've been relatively low-vis in terms of being a real force in this game, which isn't ideal if you want to win. So I need to work myself into a position where I'm able to make a standout move that nobody else can claim as their own. So that's my plan from now until the end. I've also started working on rekindling my relationship with Rachel, now that Hunter is gone she'll be looking for a shoulder to lean on. And I will be that shoulder. The truth of the matter is that in order to progress past this round, under the assumption that there's the four person unit of Neal/Liz/Woo/Hope, then I'm gonna need her to guarantee a tied vote if I'm still to play with Nick and Rita. But there's truth in the fact that I know where I stand with them, and while this game may very well be a final 3, if we're in a tough situation then I know who they'll be offering up as the sacrificial lamb. So I'll skip through the gardens and pick flowers with them til the cows come home. But I won't forget. Sometimes it's better to keep your mouth shut, and your ears open. That's an ethos I've followed for this whole game, and it's something I intend on continuing for the rest of my time here. | | |

Nick and Rita are just making it more and more obvious to me that I'm nothing more than a spare part in their whole scheme. And while it's really irritating, it's something I'm just gonna have to grin and bear in the meantime. They're discussing crucial game information between themselves and not in our group chat, and it's been up to Rita to fill me in. Nick hasn't so much as come and told me about the plans for this challenge OR the fact that Rachel apparently has an immunity necklace from a chest last round. It's just really annoying, I don't know what I did to deserve being shunned from the main ~stream~ as such. And once again, I find myself to be a lone wolf. But that position has worked for me so far, so at this point I'm just embracing it. Also with these dragon challenge shenanigans, with Hunter leaving. It's literally official that every person I've ever been partnered with is voted out, with the exception of Rita. So maybe that's a sign of things to come...? But it's just now I wanna try my absolute hardest to get an immunity in the bag. I think my pretty awful challenge performance makes me look weak, and I'm keen to disprove that notion. I'm not gonna win challenges left and right, but I definitely want something on the board so that I'm seen to be improving and being stronger. | | |

So we fucked up immunity. Fabulous. But at least Woo and Hope didn't win, so there's that at least. This round it's pretty split and so Rachel is crucial if we're not gonna allow Hope/Woo/Neal/Liz rule the rest of this game. So I went to Rachel a few nights ago hitting her with all the emotional bullshit that we were close and just drifted apart but now is the best time for our games to come together and work together for once! And she seemed all for it. Talking to her last night, she seemed pretty set on voting for Woo or Hope, it was just the idol situation that was most worrying. But Hope can't have an idol because Kenny found their dragon idol, I suppose there's every chance they found the merge one but who knows.. Woo, if he has an idol, probably isn't gonna play it on Hope considering there's only 5 people to be eligible to be voted and he probably wants to stay in the game too. So the plan hinges on the merge idol not being found, basically. But Woo approached me earlier and said he wants to discuss something with me later tonight, so it'll be interesting to see what he means by that. Maybe I'm not in as shitty a position as I originally thought. If the other side detect that Rachel is pissed about the Hunter thing, then maybe they intend on pulling me in instead. Or they're trying to make me throw a vote. Regardless, I won't be jumping for any bone they throw me. Because I can't trust them as far as a can throw them (so many throws). But yeah, just waiting to see what Woo has to say to it. Right now though, my plan for the round is to say Hasta la vista, Hope. :). | | |

My patience is wearing so thin with this bullshit. They're discussing plans and then coming to me after, telling me about them and not consulting me while they are being made. This is just a BAD fucking move and is the nail in the coffin for the both of them. Once Hope leaves this round, I'm gonna take a strike at Nick/Rita. I've been playing third fiddle to them for too long, and it's gonna stop. The timing is not right for it now, we need to break up that four person alliance. But if I'm here next round, I fully intend on enlisting a group hell bent on ousting Nick or Rita for this game. After this round, my foot will be firmly planted on the accelerator and it will be finals or bust for me. I'm so ready to just get MOVING.
But for right now, it's all roses and smiles. :) | | |

As far as I'm aware the plan is go and they approached Rachel with a plan to split so let's just fucking pray this works. If it doesn't then God knows what will happen. I assume I'll be fucked since they haven't spoken to me but banking on my social efforts in sure they'd go for Nick over me... | | |
