By the way Caleb, can I ask real quick: The round I left, Sydney/Kat said they weren't pushing for me to leave (along) with Eliza, it was mostly you and Julia. Was this them throwing you under the bus, or was it accurate to how events played out?

I wasn't sure what I was going to do actually until Kat and Sydney feel me in on the plan(Julia really trusted you and I really trusted Spencer, so we were conflicted) that you guys were voting me and Eliza(this is where Julia and I decided to 100% flip). That's when I knew I had to do something, they all wanted Spencer gone but like I said felt extremely close to Spencer besides everything and I always felt like you didn't like me and Julia was way too close to you and I didn't like It, so I pushed for you to leave, nothing personal just the best strategy thing for my game but Julia didn't push for you to leave she just backed me up when it came to it.

Dear Brad I am going to say this in the nicest way possible, I didn't read everything on this thread because it's truly too much but the fact that you said that there's a "place in hell for people like Caleb" is truly disgusting to see, first of all you don't know me personally to say such thing to me, and the fact that you would stood that low really shows the kind of person you are and your character. When I have argued with anyone here, it has been strictly game, I never attacked the person behind Brad because I don't know the person behind Brad and I refuse to attack someone personally without truly knowing them. So you really need to watch what you say to people because now I can truly judge your character. The only reason I went off on you that night in the beginning was because you were my #2 in this game very early on and then you started acting shady and doing shady things. So yeah, don't come over here attacking me personally because then you might truly see crazy. In other words, stop being bitter. Don't fuck me and I won't fuck with you. Let's have a good time here. Thank you.

Also to clarify at you gervace. I had nothing against you what's so ever, I needed Spencer to stay(yes how stupid of me to protect him two rounds in a row) and people were gunning for his head, but at the moment I had control and I really needed to use it to try to put myself in the best position possible. So I really pushed for you to go, I had nothing personal against you, but you and I never talked at all in this game so why would I want to keep you around? I needed people that were somewhat team Caleb to stay in this game.

Another thing, the fact that you guys say you would've never voted for me it's ridiculous but I'll respect your opinion maybe reading my confessionals after the game might change your mind, I knew a lot of information in this game like I legit had too many people telling me too many things. 90% of the things I did were strategic, even fighting with jefra a few of the times, I played a hell of a game and it wasn't just me being crazy for no reason, there were deff thoughts behind everything and I was never a goat in this game LOL I lovedddddddd making people like they could have any control over what I did which they never did lmao. Specially the Sakai girls who i eventually loved but from the beginning I knew there was a girls alliance, and I knew every single thing that was said on that chat(literally) which was truly hilarious and helped my early game so much that I got you guys to trust me and give me y'all coins that I was able to buy an idol ROUND 1.

Also jefra now your turn, you guys can say whatever y'all want but there was no way I would've left even if you and Eliza wanted to, Julia never would've went with that plan at all, so Sakai girls weren't playing me, maybe you and Eliza Thought y'all were but I was one step ahead every single time. I never fully trusted Eliza, even after I played my idol on her but I knew she was deff thankful and I highly doubt they would've voted me anytime soon.

Oh and Matty you are such a sweetheart. Julia and I felt extremely close to you and we were so mad that you left. I really wished you had mutiny.

That actually makes me feel a BIT better. I knew we never really had a ~deep bond~ in this game and we'd go at each other eventually, just by virtue of the games we were playing. I was just hoping Julia would choose me when it boiled down to it. So knowing that she did trust me is nice, even if she picked you over me when it came down to it haha.

And while I was (and am) not THRILLED with your response to me leaving, I won't say you're a bad person or anything because...well...I don't know you as a person. I know you in the context of the game, and the game you played HERE - which isn't a representation of life. I can't agree with much of the strategy you used, particularly the way you intentionally burned my vote, but that has no bearing on your personal character.

She did trust you a lot and she was heartbroken when she found out you basically played her, she was not going to vote you out till we found out what you guys were doing and we had to make a decision, however I do think that she always would've picked me as her and I have been each other's #1iterally since day 1 but she always said she loved you. Also I understand that you don't agree but I've been a big player since the very beginning, I knew that no one would've want to sit with me in the end if I was so likeable to the jury so at that point, I felt like it was in my best intend to piss off some of the jury members and use that as a strategy for people to keep me around longer. Also thank you for not judging me personally :) glad we can both understand the different btw the game and real life. JUST FYI I don't know what you were talking about lmao, I don't think Russell is the best ever,never did I say that. Haha

Ugh, I knew I should have tipped her off, but I was worried she'd go against me if I did. I was never gonna let votes fall on her, I wanted her in the endgame with me. DANGIT. O well, what can ya' do?

And the Russell thing was more a reference to you burning my jury vote (quite intentionally, as you said) just like Russell did in his both his seasons. On THAT note, I'm super curious who made that Russell parchment last vote, especially if it wasn't you. Maybe someone trying to pin it on you?

Yeah keep Julia out of the loop wasn't good. She wanted Marisa gone but I was like noooo and they all wanted Spencer and I was like nooo lmao so they finally let me
Have it and voted you(again nothing personal, I just knew you and I weren't together. And haha well I don't play like Russell, but that was just my strategy to make it further and then I only needed a few jurors to hate me, my goal afterwards would've been to been really good with the other jury members. Also I have no idea what you're talking about, I DDINT see any Russsel parchment, prolly just didn't notice however Sydney usually writes mean things on those so I am sure it was her.

Dis one.

That was Sydney. lol

Lol because saying I'm more full of shit than full of shit is such a nice last thing to say after the Matty boot, get. the. fuck. over. yourself. Haha

This post-merge has gone eerily like All-Stars:

- Merge Boot: Everyone comes to a seeming consensus, delaying the inevitable round for a bit.

- Final 10: Person who comes in a narrow second place (yes I believe I got second in the comics challenge and I refuse to accept any other reality) leaves in a blindside they kinda-sorta saw coming.

- Final 9: Someone who was looking like a lock for end-game gets idol'd out.

- Final 8: We have a double boot with the sides currently locked 4-4.

I'm very curious to see how this round plays out. Because there's only one immunity this time compared to All-Stars, the possibility of only one side drawing rocks is gone. Although, if they did force it, ONE of the side without immunity would leave via rock draw, since there'd only be 3 people drawing if my understanding of the rules is correct. Regardless, the incentive for rocks is still there for a lot of players - unless there are any idols out there.

I think people like Dana and Spencer are super incentivized to not flip here, because right now they are a pivotal number to their side - once that isn't the case, it's easy for them to go. However, for Dana in particular, if they outright WIN this vote - going 4-2 next round, Ki can just go to whoever's left on the other side and be like "yo she's gonna win if she gets to the end, let's get her out" and then proceed to Final 3 if they want from there.

Ideally for those two, one of Marisa/James leaves along with one of the Sakai + Ozato block. I think that would be beneficial for Julia and Kat as well, so I wonder if the "threats" will band together and collude from a point in the middle. Then going into next round they can either go back to a 3-3 split, which leaves them with options, or continue with a four strong idea. Of course, this would require trusting the other side to not just vote them, and with the current social dynamics I'm not sure if that bridge can be crossed. It could just be the side with immunity sticks to their guns given their, at best, dead even odds going into a Final 6, hoping the other side cracks.

UGH. I hate not being in the mix of things, this seems so fascinating a round. I'm SUPER curious to see how it breaks. I think this round may be ultimately what produces our winner, positionally speaking.

Because you were full of shit the ENTIRE game dude.
