I survived!! I'm so happy!! I'm pretty sure I was the first person to throw Tom's name out there and I was actually the one who started the engine that got him out. I know Sugar and Kat did some of the work too, but I'm taking credit for naming him and getting him out -.- .
ALSO I was very spot-on on my speculations:
1- I WAS Tom's bounty target, something I suspected based on our first conversation.
2- Sugar is running the show, at least socially. She's got everyone reporting back to her and she's the first person everyone is running to when they have an idea. It annoys me because I want that, but I can't compete with her social persona, so I'll have to settle for a side-kick role for the time being. I love her though.
3- Tom WAS gunning for me. He made it SO obvious that it's worth eye-rolling at it.
So now we are moving on to round 2. I seriously hope we win this challenge because now there's like absolutely NO REASON why to vote anyone out. I've a pretty decent relationship with my fellow tribe-mates, and I'm afraid that, if we lose, only Sugar will be safe.
Why Sugar? Well, as i said before, Sugar's on everyone's good-graces. I'm pretty sure my fellow ladies are envious of her and want to knock her down, but they are all too afraid of actually doing something about it. It's ironic because I LOVE Sugar, but I also envy her position. She's got nothing to worry about because noone in a MILLION years is going to vote her out or even suggest voting her out.
But let's not worry about TC.. First we need to worry about the IC.. And winning it!

Been talking to Sydney today. She seems to be pretty easy going and she's nice to talk to. I asked her what's her opinion on our tribemates. She says she hasn't really talked to Dana (which is a plus) and that, though she likes Sugar, she feels intimidated by her. That's also a good thing. I told her that I also felt the same way about Sugar. I went on praising how Sugar is like amazing but she's like someone we can't compete on in terms of likability. I meant that as a compliment. I'm just subtly planting the seed of doubt. I'm not going to go full-throttle in the "lets remove Sugar" plan, I'm taking it "Slow and Steady".
I need Sydney. Out of the 3 girls, I feel she's the least likely to become a strong strategic mind. She seems to be the most "away" and that helps me. I need someone who wouldn't be able to make many connections because that's someone that would rely on ME for everything and also someone I'd have an easier time throwing under the bus if it comes to it. I also need Sugar. She's a powerhouse. She's likeable, she's strong, she's the girl of the hour. She's also a HUGE threat. I need that threat. I need a shadow to hide myself in. I don't want to be the Queen, being the "Hand" will do just fine.
So, as you can see, the strategy I'm taking its similar to Todd's strategy in China. I need someone who's weaker than me so that I'm not seeing as the "weak link". That someone is Sydney. I also need someone who's stronger than me so that I'm not the "she's gotta go, she's the ringleader" girl. Let's see how it all unfolds..

Well, at least Dana, Kat and Sydney went straight ahead and messaged me after the results were posted. I dont know if they are maybe pretending to be interested in working with me and they are settle on the idea of voting me out (I know it was discussed last round because Tom was DAMN SURE that I was going home) OR if they are genuinely trying to strike some sort of plan that involves me voting with them.
Sugar's been, well, Sugar. She told me she needs some time to "cool off" because she's too upset and she can't deal with talking to people at the moment.. Maybe its her decoy reason to avoid me talking to her so she can discuss her real plans with the others? Am i being paranoid much? | | |

Ok so it looks like Sugar wants to gun for Dana. That's ok, as long as it aint me... But I want Kat to go..! I know, I like her and all, but she strikes me as fake and I'm not really into that. I could be wrong and having a mis-perception of her, but its what I'm getting. Dana's much more genuine and someone I can actually feel comfortable with.
But I can't go around and push my agenda too hard. I don't want them turning on me. It's not worth stirring the pot this early. We'll see how it all plays out | | |

Dana plays Pokemon. I LOVED pokemon growing up. That's something I'll always have a tender spot for in my heart. Dana doesn't deserve to go. She's a Pokemon fan. But I dont think there's anything I can do without hurting my chances :'( . | | |

Well, I just subtly told Sydney we'd consider keeping Dana based on the fact that she may be less connected to Sugar than Kat is. I don't think it's going to change something (Rather, it may hurt me if Sydney takes this so Kat/Sugar), but felt it was right. I'm really starting to like Dana (more than Kat) and I really wished she'd survive over the other. Oh well... You dont have to win all the battles, you just have to win the war...

Interesting.. I mentioned Sydney that its weird Dana is not talking strategy (we are talking about Pokemon right now) and Sydney responded with a "She probably knows its either you or her tonight.."... What?! Since when am I the decoy boot? Who decided that? Why is it me? Did Sydney just slipped up in her plans?
I have a feeling they are playing me for a fool.. They are acting like its a done deal Dana is going but probably its me going...? I wouldn't be too shocked if I end up going tonight. My name was thrown out last TC (and Sugar only told me like AFTER deadline, with a fake "I told I told you before" line accompanying it) so it wouldn't be the first time my name's discussed.
Hmmm, something doesn't smell nice..

I've gotten assurances from Sydney and Sugar that Dana thinks I'm the vote but that it's really going to be Dana. I'll believe that when the votes are posted.
Don't take me as paranoid, there's just no way you can be "right" about people being true to you when you don't get to see their faces. I'm just being realistic and cautious.
I genuinely enjoy Dana, but according to the girls she's mentioned my name so I think it's a done deal she's gotta go... Too bad :( | | |

Aha!! Good to know I've not lost my touch in sniffing BS! Whole day I was expecting something like this. It just didn't add up. Dana wasn't even talking to me while being online. Sydney came with a fake "everything is in place" message, Kat told me like 10 hours ago she'd message me when she was back home and Sugar was being distant.
I'm just really sad that this is over. Timing WAS perfect for me this time because I'm going to have a 15 days vacation period and, well, I could've devoted myself so much to this game. Oh well.
I dont know what I could've done different. I tried everything. I don't think I have EVER invested so much time trying to genuinely connect with people in a game. We were such an active tribe yet we couldn't figure out how to win a single challenge.
Thank you SO MUCH for casting me! It was a real pleasure coming back to the ORG world with such an awesomely crafted game. Keep up the good work ^_^
