Wow. I'm still here. How the heck?!


Last girl standing! I didn't necessarily set out to accomplish that feat, but I have to say that I'm proud of myself!

When you guys said I'd be a contestant on Sausage Island, you weren't kidding...

It's so crazy to think that 22 people came into this game and now the six of us are all that are left. The rapid eliminations of Bill, J'Tia and Betsy have definitely helped to amplify the surreality of things too. It's put a lot into perspective, for me at least... I mean, this game is coming to a close, and fast. We've long since departed the stage of setting ourselves up for the endgame; endgame is here and there's literally no where left to turn.

My closest ally for this entire game has been Ken. He's been steadfast, loyal and just all in all fantastic... so much so that I've come to love him like he was my own brother at this point.

I'm starting to realize though that he's also my stiffest competition to win this game. I mean I've always been of the mindset that to be the best, you have to beat the best, but I'm beginning to worry about people getting the false impression that I've been riding Ken's coattails...

I definitely haven't won as many competitions as Ken has... I haven't really won anything on my own since the Captain's Challenge LOL, but yeah, I also have not been carried through this game in any way, shape or form. I've been consistently strong across the board: socially, strategically and physically. The problem is that none of that will matter if the jury's perception is that Ken is some god among men.

From here on out, I'm honestly torn on how to proceed. Ken thinks that we should scoop up Yul and barrel through to the end. While I don't dislike that idea, I have a feeling that if it happens, I'll be the one to get raked over the coals for betraying our deal to be the Final Four with the two remaining Dadès ...

If I want to make it to the end of this game and have a shot at the title, I'm gonna have to prove to the people on the jury that I'm more than some sweet, bubbly little girl who "lucked" into an alliance with one of the most dominant alpha players in this game... it's all a lot easier said than done.


I AM PURPLE HEAR ME ROAR.

Things are so quiet around camp and I don't know if JR has just given up or whatever, but if he has, then I'm honestly kind of disappointed in him.


JR... possibly?

I mean, keeping it real, I'm not changing my vote this round regardless... it's nothing against the guy, but I just don't see how keeping him around would benefit my game... like, at all. If he's truly not making a case for himself, to Charlie and Jon at the very least... well good riddance then, he deserves to go to the jury.

If I were in Jean-Robert's spot, I'd be pulling out all of the stops. I'd be planting seeds with Charlie and Jon about how it's too dangerous to leave Ken, Yul and me all in the game together and I'd be pointing out how Ken has, hands down, the best shot of winning this game right now...

Maybe he is doing all of those things and Ken and I are in for a blindside tonight, and if so, then kudos to JR and everyone else for pulling the wool over my eyes, but I honestly don't see that happening... though I guess that's why they would call it a blindside LOL.

And then of course maybe JR just has the Demdirkom Idol and that's why he's laying low... I guess we shall see!


Laughing all the way to the bank?

So JR has decided to start campaigning for himself...

Earlier he told me that he was expecting to leave tonight, and I, being the true genius that I am, was trying to be nice and I told him not to go down without a fight... this is exactly why I should have listened to my mother all of those times that she told me, "Purps, think before you speak... you silly goose!"

JR was trying to convince me that it was in my best interest to keep him around because he apparently believes that Charlie and Jon will use Yul at the Final Five to vote Ken or me out... whether or not that's true, and trust me, I've thought of the possibility of it happening, I've already decided that I'm gonna take my chances in that scenario, primarily because I sure as heck don't trust Jean-Robert of all people to be the swing vote instead. Not wanting to lead the guy on though, I made it clear that I appreciated his pitch but that I didn't want to give him any sort of unnecessary false hope...

Of course now I'm hearing that I'm once again getting a vote from my BFF Jean-Robert, who has since told Jonathan that he is a goat and that he will not get his vote to win unless he keeps JR around long enough to break up Ken and me ... this is why I can't have nice things. I need duct tape, like last century... for my big mouth... -_-.


Oh hey Fabio, fancy seeing you here in Morocco, by the way, can I borrow your buff so that I can stick it in between my flapping gums? Thanks...
