Teh Biggest Thweat uwu/Confessionals

Day 32
"andante"

- AND AJ goes home. Zach and Sam did their job and I also helped out a bit. Also the idol got flushed on our misdirection. People think Zach is going to win, but I honestly know how much I've done and I don't appreciate that. However, thats my final 3 and I'm not changing. We have the final 4 with Liam so that should be helpful. He just can't win at 4. I don't want to get ahead of myself, but were pretty much at 4. Just gotta keep the path. What a blinside. Man this game has been something. Been in control the whole way. It really has been awesome. Hopefully the next few days go as planned fingers crossed everybody

- Ay carumba.

I played my idol for Brian, fully expecting it to be a sneaky 3-0 vote for Zach. Instead, I was lied to on virtually all fronts - Sam had implied Brian was the target, when in reality it was AJ. AJ himself was too scared to risk rocks and voted Brian, having been fed that name by Zach's crew. Homie voted himself out, and I've been caught with my weenie in my hands a second time. I'm steamed.

To say I'm anxious would be an understatement. I'm in exactly the same boat as I was with the first failed Zach vote, except this time I don't have any cannon fodder to throw in front of me to re-ingratiate myself. Along with that, playing the idol has exposed my threat level and I don't think they'll fall for me playing innocent a second time. My entire game has been based on restraint, but ultimately I now need to really get my hands bloody. After a solid few hours of licking my wounds, I got to work.

I've read Hesh, Sam and Liam the same riot act: Zach is the biggest threat left, having gotten the Lucky 7 to the final 7 despite narrowly avoiding a blindside twice from the same hands. Sam and Liam, for their parts, are fully aware and are at least somewhat considering making the cut. Hesh, however, is dead set on sticking with him,, believing that he's on equal par with Zach in front of a jury. I love the dude - he's my Borat homie - but the guy is delusional if he thinks he stands a chance against Zach. Hesh has been perceived by many as Zach's muscle, not as an equal partner. To add to that, he rubbed Joe the wrong way numerous times and I get the impression that nobody from the former Rubicante 4 is quite fond of him either. Hell, even Liam has said that if Hesh was not immune, he likely would have taken him out with us last round. If I can't get Zach this round, Hesh might be my best bet.

All bets are off now. I adapted from my shitty position last time, and I'll do it again this time. This whole season has been represented by the concept of restraint. But restraint is a funny thing: eventually, restraint turns into complacency. I've avoided complacency this entire game. I can't say the same for some of the others.

Let the fireworks begin.

- Oh, and I got 2 garnets from AJ's bundle of 6. Mad.

Day 33
"andante"

- So Liam won immunity, proud of him! it should be Brian this round. They are going for me, they think they have Sam, which is hilarious, but they don't. The only real thing I am worried about is Liam, but it wouldn't make sense for him to flip now.

"andante"

- hey

its been a while

i havent talked to yall since andrew went home

my b

its rly difficult to keep up w irl, the game and confs when youve been "teh biggest thweat uwu" in the game since f15 and youre constantly gathering information that changes drastically throughout each round. ill just skip over most of merge cause i feel like its a little late to go into detail about em esp with how its worked out and whatnot

last round we yeeted aj, which wasnt really my ideal game plan, but on the bright side we did get isaacs idol yeeted out of the game, reducing idol paranoia significantly. the premerge idol could still be out there, but i feel like if it was in anybodys possession, it woulda been used by now with how fucky most of these votes have been, its pretty likely that lexi went home with the idol which is great, but like it also bit us in the ass and left us exposed for isaiah to get yeeted out. so like, i think paranoias pretty low on the idol front, but we do still need to worry about what role garnets are gonna play coming up. initially, i thought our side would have 13 in total, but now hesh comes to me while hes doin his workout and tells me that liams planning on voting me out next round, claiming im the biggest threat in the game and shit again. meaning now, sam and hesh are the only two people i can actually trust in this game 100%. the perception right now is that hesh is my lap dog or whatever, and like, while that honestly is not true, im very glad that this is the narrative that theyre running with. it gives me a much better chance of actually clinching the dub if i happen to make it there. the current new plan is to take out brian right now, and then next round have sam and hesh talk to liam and see if he'll flip on me at f5 instead of 6 so we dont have to go to rocks. i think that if sam pushes it, liam will go with it because liam trusts sam more than anybody and i know that for a fact. at that point we can assess if liam has backed off, or if we need to take him out at 5 before we take out chloe. i love liam, hes a wonderful dude but if hes comin after me i gotta retaliate with whatever i can. at f3, im completely fine with just booting chloe and going f3 with the boys cause, if im honest, i do think i have a good chance of beating them both. perceptions are very hard to change, especially in a group of competitive people that have been stewing in ponderosa only getting snippets of the big picture that have the chance to talk amongst themselves and validate their own perceptions into reality. sam has a pretty strong case to beat me too, to be honest. he has made crucial social bonds that actually propelled us to where we are. he hasnt been in the crosshairs, but i feel like thats partially a testament. the dynamics of the game have put myself and to a lesser extent hesh into a wall when it comes to information flow, and sam and liam have been those receptors for us to make the decisions that need to be made. i really think thats the dynamic right now and if sam can finesse the jury with that he can easily pull it out, but im honestly not too worried about coming in 2nd if sam wins. hes the dude i wanna see pull it out more than anybody else tbh so itd make me pretty happy too

we are entering the home strech and i feel pretty good about it all things considered, but the garnets are a big worry especially if liam is adamant about blindsiding me at 6. he could catch on to what our plan is tbch and combat it, dude is definitely smart enough to recognize something like that going down. i just hope that we win the garnet war, whatever it turns out to be. this org has taken a fucking LOT outta me and is prolly gonna be my last for at least a good long time, if not ever, so id like to go out there and make it end on a high note, maybe even my second and final crown. thatd be rad.

peace out ily
