OOOF

Sorry I haven't done one of these in awhile.

I'm super stoked to be in the final 8, and even happier to have a spot in the final 7. After flipping on Hunter last round, I was worried of the overall perception of Liz and I. I don't know if we needed this win, but we'll taaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaake it.


The game is starting to enter that phase where you have to think about who you're going to beat. For me, I feel like that list is extremely short. I know I have to take Liz to the end because she's been with me this entire game. I would love for us to make f3 and try and take this thing. The third spot however is tough. Hope and Woo want to take us to four which is a great offer. Hope and Woo have become really good friends of mine in this game and to be with them in the f4 would be so much fun. The prooooooooblem is that I don't think I have a chance in hell at beating either one of them. I don't think they've pissed off anyone on the jury, and their likability would certainly win any argument that Liz or I could put up. I think that I've made big/risky moves in the game, but I've been careless with my jury management and social game. I don't think I have any friends on that jury besides Kenny.

I'm really tempted to bring Rachel to the end. I don't think she's made too many connections with the people in this game. She's been a challenge threat but other than that, I'm not sure what she's done in this game. If I can make the final 5 myself/liz/woo/hope/rachel, I think I've got a great chance at making final three. I just have to figure out what to do then.

WELL HERE I AM AGAIN

Maaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaan

Okay so first off, props to Rita and Rachel for making one of the biggest moves in the game happen. If I was Rachel, I probably would have done the same thing. I knew splitting the votes was a dumb idea and to trust Nick, someone who has been actively in the minority, and Rachel, someone who's friend just got sent home, was extremely risky.

After I found out from Woo that Hope found the merge idol, I was pissed. Mostly because that means I CANT FIND THE MERGE IDOL ANYMORE! Also, why wouldn't she have just played her idol this round if she was so scared of Rita having an idol! Ayyyye

I'm super bummed Hope left. She was one of my favorite players in the game, which I guess is a curse at this point. (I'm sorry Joe, Kenny, Hope) Idk how the fuck Liz is still here if thats true.

Right now Rachel has all the power, because she's already immune (thanks to me oops). I have to make sure Rachel knows that Rita/Nick/Natalie HAVE to be split up. Rachel has a way to the end if she goes with Liz and I. Theres no way those 3 will take her to the end. *or at least thats what I have to make her believe*

Also I hate to say I told you so, but I said Nick was far more dangerous than Alina. I told them that if he didn't go that first merge vote then we were gonna see him go deep in the game. I REST MY CASE!


Plan A: Get Rachel back on my side.

Plan B: Win 4 immunity challenges in a row

Plan C: Call my parents and ask where it all went wrong.

I'm really happy for Liz that she won immunity. She really killed it and I'm glad that she's safe. ALTHOOOOOOUGH, I can't help but feel incredibly worried about tonight's vote.

I've been working on solidifying Rachel's trust all round. I need to get it in her head that me leaving is absolutely terrible for her game, that Nat/Rita/Nick all making f6 is terrible for her game. Before anyone got a chance to talk to her, I pushed to Rachel that those three were most likely going to target me because they are afraid of myself/Liz/Rachel reconnecting at 6 to form a tie. I wanted to try and create that perception to Rachel so that if they DO try and push me, she'll see it as them trying to take away options from her.

Rachel told me last night that Natalie wanted me out. She also told me that Natalie wanted to take her to the end. I said that Natalie came to me before the Jeremiah blindside and told me that she wanted to go to the end with me and Liz (sorta white lie) and that made Rachel super suspicious. My plan was to basically create this perception of Natalie being someone who will work with anyone who is convenient to her at the time. One round it might be me she wants to take, next Rachel, next Rita, etc etc. Rachel said that she wanted to vote out Natalie this round, and honestly if Nat really does want me out, I'm all for it.

I feel like I've done all I could. I've told Rachel a million different times in a million different ways that not breaking up N/R/N before 6 is going to limit her options moving forward. I just have to hope that Rachel sees me as value to her game and I make it one step closer to Final 3.
