As for Sierra, I really don't know what to think about her game at this point. Her social game is very good with people that she likes. But my view was that she gets so angry when people blindside her allies, for her to then go and blindside you..I thought people would see that as hypocritical. It's interesting to see you say that she definitely had your vote, I actually have confessionals where I say I was thinking of taking her to the end as a goat. I think she just burned bridges with too many people.

But I totally agree with you about her forming tight bonds, I'm convinced that she had a final 2 deal with me. I'll never know if she was going to stick to that, if she wasn't planning on it, I definitely have to give her a lot of credit for convincing me.

as you know now, I totally did intend on honouring that :* love you always

also can I clarify that Stephen's blindside wasn't a raging revenge move for Katie? his blindsiding her definitely sped up the process, but for me my relationship with Stephen was like a "kill or be killed" thing. I had to pull the trigger first. emotions played a lot less of a part in it than most people seem to think

No I know, I just remembered you telling me that you were yelling at him on AIM for betraying you and I thought that he would've been pissed at you for then turning on him 2 rounds later. Saying you're a goat is too harsh. I just thought you would've been like Dawn in FTC who of course is very likable and strategic, but upset a lot of people along the way. That was just how I was thinking at the time

haha I feel that. knowing Stephen, though, I knew he wouldn't hold the move against me. Katie's blindside just laid all Stephen's cards out for me, and he directly voiced to me that he did it to take away some of my power and make me more reliant on him (dumb. like PLEASE STEVE, you KNEW that would ignite a fury in me). that made me want to screw him sooner than I originally intended to. his fatal mistake was his failure to recognize the strength of my social game @ that point, specifically not realizing that I had pre-existing relationships with Austin & Yve and misjudging how much Katie's blindside would help strengthen those bonds.

once we hit merge and everyone I had wanted to be there was still around, it was really tough to act the damsel in distress and behave like I needed Stephen to save me, but apparently it worked pretty well, so I'll take it. I actually felt mean acting so fake towards him in the days before his boot which was SUPER weird for me, because I never thought I'd feel guilt or pity while interacting with/attempting to deceive THE EVIL MONSTER STEPHEN haha (love u bae)
