For all of you that don't know, Stacey likens herself to a professional wrestler in the ORG world. She had her run back in the day -- the crowd loved her, the crowd respected her, and most importantly the crowd understood her.
These days, she's seen as a broken down version of herself. The crowd no longer pops when they hear her entrance music hit the arena. She can't pull off her moves with the same grace, and even if she does, nobody recognizes her talents. They don't boo her, but even worse, SILENCE.
But that's all about to change. A new, more focused Stacey is coming. She's tightening up her boot-straps and she's ready.
I can't promise that I'll never make fun of you again, Stacey. However, I made this trophy that took about 5 seconds to put together for you to show you how proud of you I am. <3
Stacey revealed to me last night, even before the Anthony fiasco, that she has considered posting a "confessional" in public where she bashes RJ (but warns him beforehand that she will be posting it), seems naive, etc. It's kind of brilliant.
I hope I'm not speaking too soon, but I think she has everyone thinking that she's just this loyal oddball that isn't really strategic. I can't wait until they realize she's probably the most ruthless player in the cast, and yes, I TRULY BELIEVE THAT. Anyone who witnessed Stacey play Offensive 5 knows that the girl will do whatever she has to do to win when she's motivated.
Expect more Stacey challenge failures since we won't be doing Photohunt again this season. I don't think it's going to be much of an issue though, since I don't think challenge strength is going to be important for much longer and I know at the very least, she'll pretend that she's putting effort into the rest of the tribal challenges.
Plus, it helps that she was on call with her entire tribe minus David and Patrick when she was doing the puzzle. For the entirety of it. Bless them for their patience. Bless her for not crying.
It's a mistake for them to keep Stacey in the game, especially if RJ goes before her. She will have no loyalty to anyone, and if she doesn't get super emotional, she is the perfect type of person to weasel her way into being a swing vote at a crucial part in the game. I think the only people that benefit from her being in the game are her obvious Carnegie people that she isn't sour(starfish) on -- RJ/Spencer, and someone like Mike who has put in effort with her. I could also see her taking a liking to Jacob and Thomas (she used to have an ASIAN FETISH that could very well reappear) if they're in the game together long enough.
