This should be a pretty boring round unless Spencer pulls off another clutch immunity win.

Kate said it best! "You(Stacey) don't seem to realize that there is a plan in motion. You go, Spencer goes, and then he game really begins." Well, she said it best other than the "he" typo that is making my OCD brain hurt.

Discuss, pray for Spencer so that shit gets REAL, etc.

Poor Spencer :( I hope he pulls through and wins another immunity. If only just so Vanderbilt has to screw over one of their deals sooner than expected, which is always fun.

But yeah, provided Eric doesnt randomly have a change of heart, this is the last time anyone can stop the Vanderbilt takeover. But Lindsay has no idea how much danger she's in, Anthony has a solid plan but has no idea that Eric's a traitor, Thomas doesnt want to make a move just yet, and Spencer's trying to save himself but it's pretty much futile at the moment.

I really hope Anthony will able to manage to survive to the end despite the Vanderbilts being in power. I think if he makes it to the end he has a great chance of winning (a la Casey from last season), and probably wont be targeted until Lindsay is gone. Fingers crossed!

Can someone please post Stacy's blast chat meltdown?

Kthxbye

Stacey (19:59:31): Goodbye
chemtotaste (19:59:47): i won't lie; i feel like i stand 0% chance of winning :(
Stacey (20:00:40): Ok sorry
Stacey (20:01:11): So my point was suppose to be that no one is playing their own game
Ant_Eater (20:01:25): I mean you've barely talked to me at all so I don't know what you expect from me
Stacey (20:01:35): And I thought doing it dramatic wise would prove a point
Stacey (20:01:48): But I didn't mean anything against the game
Stacey (20:01:59): And It's a good series and you are all good people
Stacey (20:02:17): And the hosts work so hard
Stacey (20:02:23): And the viewers work so hard
Aaron Ethridge (20:02:30): not this season but ok
Stacey (20:02:49): LOL
Stacey (20:02:58): And Anthony it isn't directed at you
Stacey (20:03:09): You were just the only one responding
Ant_Eater (20:03:18): Well I felt bad nobody was responding
Stacey (20:03:23): Lmao
Stacey (20:03:33): You are fine
Stacey (20:03:43): I still would like to see how you are playing your own game
Stacey (20:03:55): But you aren't one of the ones I was talking about
Ant_Eater (20:04:08): Just wait til final tribal when you vote for me to win 😉
Stacey (20:04:38): But I didn't mean anything bad against the series, I just thought if I could make the people feel bad that they were being a disgrace then they would actually do something game worthy
Stacey (20:04:53): But sometimes I get too dramatic
Stacey (20:05:05): And ok ant, that's a deal
Ant_Eater (20:05:52): Haha all joking aside, I know we haven't talked much but you do seem like an awesome person
Ant_Eater (20:05:59): And you're funny as he
Ant_Eater (20:06:02): Hell*
Stacey (20:06:06): Hahaha thank you
Stacey (20:06:17): I had this super plan that I was gonna make people feel bad
Stacey (20:06:23): But it just made me look crazy
Stacey (20:06:33): But thanks for playing along
Stacey (20:06:42): I also do mean everything I said tho
Ant_Eater (20:07:12): Except about me not deserving to win tho right?
Stacey (20:08:37): I don't think you do right now
Stacey (20:08:47): But maybe you can show Me u do
Ant_Eater (20:08:52): I'll take that as a challenge
(23:58:08) Aaron Ethridge kicked sourstarfish22 out of this group chat.

Final 6 !! Could Chronicles for the first time ever have back to back female winners!?

Unless Jacob has a sex-change, doubtful.

That wasn't so bad. I have personally done much worse.

It's crazy how much your perceptions of people change game to game. Like last game, I did not like the way Lindsay played at all but this season I find myself actually wanting to see her make it to the end!

She's been such a big threat since the merge hit and she's managed to keep squeaking by , by being fairly open with her aggressive style of play. If she can divert attention away from her here, or at final 5 onto someone like Eric or Jacob who she can just point out, have no one really out to get them, she might be able to make a run for it with Anthony. I don't think she's going to have the foresight to pull it off, but she's surprised me in this game, and I'm hoping she surprises me again.

On the other hand though, I love Jacob and would hate to see him go because of it (he is the last hope for my fantasy team after all :P). He's really entertaining and has played a great game thus far. I want to see an entertaining finish but not if it costs him the game. I really want to see Jacob pull this off. He'd be a great winner :D

It's pretty tame for Stacey, too. It doesn't seem like she was fully committed to it, as she went in and out of being nice and mean.

For the sake of entertainment, I'd love to see Lindsay pull something off too, but I can't see her getting the numbers to do anything or even realizing she needs to do anything besides what she's been doing. She's pretty committed to Jacob/Kate/Anthony and I think Anthony has blinders on too, albeit to a lesser extent. Eric playing dumb and completely out of the loop probably is the clincher on Lindsay and Anthony not thinking they have to rock the boat.

I think the biggest chance of a shake-up is an immunity run from anyone besides Jacob/Kate/Eric. It's possible, but unlikely. :/

Edit: Knowing what the challenges are though, if Spencer can win this next one, I think he has a good chance at the one directly after it too. It's another logic type of challenge, which he completely excelled at last round. Still, not sure if he's the person that would be able to do damage by sticking around with a challenge run. Once it's over, he doesn't have the connections to do anything with it barring a huge change in the next few rounds.

Jacob's already mentioned flipping the game around if Spencer wins immunity again so that would be exciting!

The person I don't understand at this point right now is Eric. Like Aaron said, he's probably done the best job of the people left in the game of positioning himself to win right now with everything he knows, but he seems comfortable continuing to play under the radar. He's gotta know that Jacob is starting to be perceived as a leader, why not take control of the game right now?? In Eric's latest confessional, he says he heard from Kate that the Lindsay thinks the final four is herself/anthony/kate/jacob and instead of using this to his advantage he says now he just can't talk to Anthony and Lindsay as much.. Has he said anything about his actual FTC plans yet??

You can tell Jacob really understands the game where he talks in his confessional about how now this is the point in the game where you gotta start making moves that YOU can own yourself, so you can build a resume of reasons why you should win. He is doing the right thing at this point.

Either there is some SERIOUS Jacob mist going on (which I would love :P) or Eric is just super confident in his friendships with Anthony, Lindsay and Mike and thinks that he'll still get their votes after riding in Jacobs pocket all the way to the end.

Aww wish Stacey had posted the birthday thing instead... I thought Anthony's responses were funnier than her outburst.

As for Lindsay, I want to see her do well but her last confessional just made me cry. Both Anthony and Lindsay have the blinders on and think they're safe, but Anthony seems to have a lot more self awareness than Lindsay. I hate to say it but I'm not sure I'd be happy with a Lindsay win at this point. Maybe it has to do with my experiences from last season, but her gameplay post merge has done nothing but frustrate me. I'd be happy to see a shakeup, but I think Jacob would make a 100x better winner than Lindsay.

As for Spencer, I think his lack of experience is showing. He has a good chance of winning immunities and knows he needs to do something to survive. He just hasn't been great at executing his own plans, throughout the entire season actually. Socially he hasn't been the greatest, but there is a slight chance that his friendships with Anthony and Thomas will amount to something. Those are the two he needs on his side now, but unfortunately I think Anthony is so committed to Lindsay that he wouldn't make a move without her. And it's clear she thinks everything is 100% in control and there's absolutely no danger in keeping Jacob/Kate around. As weird as it sounds, I think the best thing for Anthony would be Spencer winning immunity and Lindsay going home. This would free him/wake him up to accept deals with Thomas and Spencer, and though Eric is a thorn in his side I'm not sure Eric would stay loyal to Jacob/Kate if he knew the majority of the votes were going against them.

But again, this is all fanfiction for now. A lot would have to happen this round and next to make that work. For now, as usual, Jacob still has this on lock.

EDIT:
The problem with this "She's been such a big threat since the merge hit and she's managed to keep squeaking by , by being fairly open with her aggressive style of play."
Is it's less by her ability that she's squeaking by, and moreso on Jacob using her as shield and keeping her safe :S People in the game don't realize it yet, of course, but as a viewer I can't really commend her for that.

The thing is, I'm not even sure Eric would get the Rockefeller vote in the end. All Jacob/Kate would have to do is reveal Eric had betrayed them the entire time, and it would a) piss them off on an emotional level and b) give the credit for everything Eric did all game to Jacob/Kate's manipulation.

Yeah I know, that's why I'm wondering why he would actually want to go to the end with Jacob and Kate?? Has he said who he would actually want in his ideal ftc? I don't think I've read that anywhere.

I'm not really sure, its been confusing me all season. I think he knew one or both of them before the game, because even on Rockefeller all he talked about was how he couldn't wait to join the other tribe, even though he liked his tribemates.
