If I had posted this an hour earlier, it would look a lot different. Things were looking great! I had two alliances to pick from, one with Ki and one with Sakai. I was gonna write a confessional about how "the goat is king" and how in American sports, "GOAT" means "Greatest Of All Time". I'm really glad I didn't write that, because I'd look like an idiot.

I started getting paranoid after the challenge. My name came up more times than I'd hoped, and people who I'd seriously trusted said some pretty negative things about me. I expected that I would be seen as hard to talk to, because that's more than a bit obvious. I'm not the most social person. But I didn't think I'd need immunity, or that I should never have been cast, or that I was a goat. I think I did pretty well to get this far, especially when all my original allies were getting voted out one by one.

Last night, I basically had my pick of who was going home. Ki was voting out either Sydney or Eliza, and Sakai was going for Spencer or Fairplay. I could "suggest" who each side would vote for, and then take my pick (although I was leaning towards Ki). Things went downhill after that. Caleb somehow became convinced to vote for me, against the wishes of the rest of his Sakai alliance.

After that, I still felt pretty secure. At that point I decided I would have to vote with Ki this round, since there was no feasible way to get the numbers if I stayed with Sakai. However, about 30 minutes ago, Dana tells me that Spencer and James are trying to flip the vote back onto me. I was extremely pissed when I heard that. I trusted both of them. I told Spencer about all of my conversations with Eliza and Sydney about possible alliances and plans. James and I had connected about both being from the DC area. Spencer even made a group chat with the original Ki members, me, and Dana last night. And they're gonna vote me out because they're scared of Caleb's idol? All of us know that Caleb is not the smartest player here. We've all mentioned how it's EXTREMELY doubtful that Caleb would play the idol for anyone other than himself. So why are they getting paranoid now? It makes no sense to me.

I'm counting on Dana to convince the others to switch back to the original plan. If she can't do it, I'm gonna have to think of a backup really quickly. I know that Eliza is also trying to flip the vote around, but I'm honestly not expecting for anything to happen. I'm starting to figure out why Spencer labeled himself as the snake in the last challenge. Hopefully I'll be able to write another one of these next round...?
