So Much Unfinished Business/Confessionals

Day 27
"miranta"

- It's really quiet and I honestly think it's just everyone being quiet and I think that's a good thing for me because I don't need to rear my strat game in too hard if the game is quiet I don't gotta work any tricks thankfully the vote should go on agusto if I get my way or Luca any of these 2 can go to keep my info with nicole good my all girls f3 dream will come true I swear it

"miranta"

- So I was talking to a few beauty members and it sucks cause part of me wants to work with them I've gave them many shots to be honest with me but it's just lie after lie after lie like I don't want to work with you if you're just gonna keep lying to my face so cya

"miranta"

- Tribal tonight... I don't feel too worried. But I don't wanna say that cos that's normally when people get blindsided LMAO. But I do get the feeling that brawn and brains will stick together at least for this vote.

I'm juggling a lot in terms of who I wanna work with. Luca, Sam and I have agreed to be a trio, but then obviously Sam and I are also in with the brains girls... then I also have Augusto who I've become close to.

The upcoming rounds are gonna be difficult, because Claire and Luca both have different objectives in mind for proceeding in this game, and that was shown in the last tribal when Claire wanted Luca out but I didn't. It's gonna be tough for me to manage.

You know, I could have won immunity today as well with my score but I think I made the right decision in submitting a lower score. If I had won both the first two merge immunities I think that would have been the end of me next round.

"miranta"

- Ok so imma talk about the beginning of merge first. Ok so YAAAAAS BITCH I MADE TURN UP FOR A REAL BITCH MAKING MERGE AH👅💦AH 👅💦AH👅💦

Ok now my mission for now is to make sure I’m not on anyone’s radar. Talk to people enough to make a connection but not over talk to make myself a threat in people’s eyes. One thing I’ve learned to do (which Eli & Luca actually taught me) is to control my threat levels. If you come off as too threatening, too strategic, too controlling, too social, etc. it can be a roadblock to you advancing.

So skip forward to the challenge which was 24 hour live trivia. I definitely think that Charlie and Augusto & Andre stood out as people to potentially watch because they knew a lot of shit. I only got 9 or 10 points I think which I mean I wanted to win but not winning works out for me, so that way I can float a little and not be social. Also Andre got an idol clue which was the grid so the 4 Brains are working together to find it. I think if Claire finds it, she may not tell us but tbh if I find it, I won’t be telling them either and that’s the tea sis

So the vote rolls around and Claire decided that she wants to target Luca but tell the beauties that it’s Liam who’s going. If Claire thinks that I don’t notice that she’s in charge of the alliance rn, she’s dumb because I def do BUT why put myself in the line of Fire playing hard and making shit up if I don’t have to? She can do that for me ^.^ anyways, Liam is targeting Hannah in my PMs and come to find out he sent a screenshot which sealed his fate and miss Nicole self voted so whew yikes asf

"miranta"

- So now it’s the next day and nobody is really broken up about Liam leaving (sorry Liam rip tbh I thought he was another Liam anyways lmao) but I’m still sitting back and being social because social game is key especially if I wanna make a move in the future.

So I’m making sure to keep the bonds with Charlie and Sam going because they could still swing against us and get a Brain out which as long as it isn’t me, I don’t know if I care that much tbh.

So the challenge is a flash game (I forgot the name of it) and I came in 2nd and when Nicole and Andre asked how I got that high I made SURE to let them know that it was luck because I don’t need them thinking I’m a potential challenge threat. Anyways Sam won which is fine with me because I’m thinking the beauties are on the chopping block rn. Like I said as long as it ain’t me idc

So I’m talking to Charlie and he says that he thinks the Brains and the Brawn should stick together which I’m cool with but eventually I have to get rid of Sam because I want Charlie closer to me and Sam could pull him any from me tbh and I don’t want that. Also I’m officially working with Luca and talking to Augusto everyday so I think I’m their radars. I also talk to Hannah everyday, basically I talk to everyone everyday. You gotta put in that FaceTime with everybody :)

Anyways, Charlie told me I’m not on anyone’s radar and sis I’ll take it. I don’t wanna be on anybody’s mind unless they think of me as an ally or somebody fun to talk to straight up. I’m going with the strategy of keeping my mouth shut, not being messy and minding my damn business for now ^

"miranta"

- Also omg random vent time! So 2 managers at my job who I thought I was cool with decided they were gonna team up and try to get me fired over 2 small cups of coffee (I literally vented to Sam about this yesterday) and I’m like....imagine being 50-70 years old and being that miserable lmao how lame is that? But the gag is the people that they told like me and they aren’t even mad about it (plus it’s a lie anyways so...lmao they fucking thought) but both of them are dead to me and they can suck my ass straight up. I promise you I will look right past them and pretend they aren’t there every time I see them 👌🏽👌🏽👌🏽

"miranta"

- Aromal is a thot

"miranta"

- claire practically put me in a position where i threw both augusto and hannah under the bus to her but i was only basically confirming what she had heard from liam regardless it’s important to have a tight ally over on the brains if it gets to hannah/augusto i’ll just say i basically confirmed her suspicions because she told me how augusto had lied to her if claire finds out i’ve been active in the beauty chat i’ll just tell her i was keeping up appearances and encouraging hannah to come clean yeah uh thing is i’d rather augusto goes cos hannah has the idol and it’s obvious a beauty goes this tribal next tribal a brain is gonna go i think preferably andre he seems extremely shady

"miranta"

- he’s basically always online but never responds to messages plus he might have the idol and he’s the best bet for a flip since sam voted him once already as far as tribal lines go f8 is gonna be 3-3-2 unless we see an idol play now i’m predicting (but i’m not sure) that f7 is gonna be 3-2-2, f6 is gonna be 2-2-2 both sam and charlie are gonna make f6 but only one of them makes f5 then the surviving brawn picks a side f4 is 2-1-1 and here it becomes a question of who’s a threat

"miranta"

- Justin gave me some words after his voteout that have been kind of in my head ever since. The gist being that I need to make more moves and that I'm not vocal enough. The thing is I had these fears anyway, but to see it vocalized by another person on the tribe is like even more scary since it's the truth. He had nothing to lie about. With that in mind, we're going into the next vote.

Sam wins immunity. He wouldn't have been voted out anyway but at least he stopped someone dangerous from getting it. The issue being I haven't socialized enough with the beauty to get a good ear in on them. Also worth mentioning, Charlie was really suspicious last vote. He doubted our push for Luca and his ears kinda perked up when I said that Claire and I were ears for the brains tribe. I meant that we could pass off brain info to them but he probably took it the opposite way. Buuut I digress.

In regards to this vote, as of now until Sam and Charlie tell us what they plan to do, the target should be Luca or Augusto. Augusto is kinda super sneaky and he's no slouch in challenges. I'm totally okay with him leaving because I always get this vibe from him that he thinks I'm dumb and that he considers me a goat. Not a good vibe at all despite our light hearted conversations that don't have anything to do with game. Luca I like but I know he's a strong player and I can tell he doesn't really feel any connection to me whatsoever, but at least he brings up game with me.

I do have gripes with voting a beauty out. I haven't socialized enough with them to really drive it in that I'm a player and not a piece of furniture. I'm... honestly kind of tempted to leak the vote to one of them so they can use an idol if they have one. If not they can just treat it as me wanting to help them. I could flip but like, I'd be pissing off a lot of people for people who might not fully want me on their side. Vote isn't over yet though so there's still a lot of strategizing to do.

"miranta"

- OHHHH BABY WE GOT A BLINDSIDE IN THE WORKS

"miranta"

- Okay so I decided I'm going to tell Augusto that he should use the idol on himself if he has it. My reasoning being that it would increase my credibility with the beauties regardless of the outcome. Also, everyone has kind of made it known in my alliances that Augusto is willing to lie to people's faces, so even if he pulls a fast one and throws me under the bus, they probably wouldn't believe him unless he sends a screenshot. Also, the majority of the tribe has already voted so therefore it would be hard to change the result at this point. The only downside I can forsee is that they voted for me and I get idoled out. That would suck but you know what? I'm not going to sit around doing nothing all game. It's a risk worth taking.

"miranta"

- yikes, this vote is wild. definitely a lot more exciting than the last vote was lmao. basically as far as i see it, augusto should be getting a majority of the votes from claire and the brains side. and im sure they believe im just coasting along with them. but the thing is, if i do coast with them and vote augusto and we're at f9, im a sitting duck, as well as charlie. because then at that point, claire will have way too much power with her, pris, tyler and andre, as well as nicole who im sure she has wrapped around her finger. and as much as i like each of them, in terms of the game, i dont feel close to any of them at all, not near as much as the beauties. and i also know for a FACT claire does not have my best interest long term for her end game, and i dont plan on sitting around waiting for her and the other brains to decide when to get rid of me. so i decided to reach out to the beauties, and long story short, hannah should be playing her idol on aug, while they vote claire. while charlie and i vote aug with the brains to not only play it safe in case things blow up negatively, but to also make the people who were blindsided think that we got blindsided with them, and that we are still on their side. this could allow me a HUGE upperhand next vote if i can get through to them and see what they are thinking, and really be playing both sides assuming both sides trust me 100%, which im hoping for. either way if this whole crazy scenario works out, i should be in a really powerful position in the game, being in the majority with charlie and some of the beauties, while also being in the good graces of the brains who were just blindsided. man im hoping this works out because ive put so much time and work into this move and if everything goes according to plan, we're sitting pretty fellas

"miranta"

- i mean lets be real, i could easily coast with this post swap majority alliance im in, get pretty deep in the game until im rendered exposeable and get like 6th or 5th. but the thing is, i didnt come tto be a goat and make it kind of far in the game, i came to play and to win. and to also make things at least semi entertaining as well :D. if this move bites me in the ass later on, then so be it. but like i said i came to play, and me riding with that alliance wasnt me playing, and in no way wouldve resulted in me winning. sometimes you gotta make huge risks, and thats what im doing now. and if it pays off, then fuck yeah im glad it worked out. and if it doesnt, oh well, least i can say i went down swinging and playing hard

"miranta"

- This is gonna be a LONG confessional and possibly my very last. So first off some more information about what happened last round, Liam took our fake fight up to 11 and pretended he was against me and wanted me out, to get try and information from the brains. But he wasn't gonna let me go home, if the brains and brawns actually voted for me and the beauties couldn't flip the numbers to our side, he would've secretly played the idol on me, knowing exactly who they were voting for. (Again Liam did this without my permission smh. Ofc he would protect me with the idol if necessary and wouldn't actually let me get voted out, but RIP my perfect game record) Meanwhile, I worked on trying to pull Sam onto my side and trying to figure out what in the world was up with Claire, and maybe we could've gotten a flipper...but then Liam screenshotted, panicked over getting in trouble for said screenshot, and instantly concluded he was done. The brains were already seemingly targeting him, even if they weren't already targeting him they were about to start targeting him now that he had a self vote, his self vote made it doubly hard to get the numbers, and his idol couldn't be played on him. He told the beauties to vote him out since he was going home regardless, so we reluctantly but unanimously did, (although the non-beauties who think I was fighting with him don't have to know how sad we actually were to vote him) and Liam gave me his idol on his way out. I have to use this idol wisely in honor of my fallen comrade who gifted it to me, and once tonight's results are posted I will find out. Liam told all the Edessas in the group chat that he'd given one of us the idol, but didn't say who he chose to receive it. And perhaps he shouldn't have said he gave it to an Edessa at all, we'll find out tonight. So THIS round, we beauties had to get a non beauty out, but now with only four beauties to 6 non beauties. The good news is it looks like Claire was in fact telling the truth about voting for Liam last round, so we can trust her after all and maybe get her to work with us this round, except for one tiny problem. She says Liam revealed to her that last round I leaked her info to the beauties without her C-O-N-S-E-N-T, and now she's upset with me. WHAT? WHY WOULD LIAM, WHO WAS ON MY SIDE AND ONLY FAKE-FIGHTING ME, REVEAL THAT? THAT DOESN'T MAKE SENSE! So I tell Claire I leaked it because I wanted the beauties to know that they should align and work together with her since she was being helpful by telling information. We make amends, and it's all great except for one tiny problem. Claire never wanted to be helpful to us beauties in the first place. Sam and Charlie suddenly come rushing to me Luca and Augusto with all the TEA: Claire DID lie about targeting Liam last round in case we had an idol, they were originally after Luca and only changed their target to Liam last-minute after the screenshot mess. Claire is currently targeting me or Augusto, and to make matters worse, NICOLE flipped to Claire's side, over a fucking PREMADE RELATIONSHIP! We figure out that NICOLE, not Liam, was probably the one who really told Claire about the leak. And because Liam told all the beauties about the idol giveaway, Nicole went and leaked to Claire that one of us has it. So now there's an alliance of me Luca Augusto Sam and Charlie, against the four brains plus Nicole. It's 5 vs 5. According to Sam and Charlie, Claire still THINKS they're on her side. But does she? Sam and Charlie find out that Claire's group is voting for Augusto, so I use the idol on Augusto. If I play it correctly that's great, if I play it incorrectly the worst that can happen is a tie, and with all our immunity my side probably wins the rock draw. Except for one tiny problem. Sam and Charlie wanna vote for Augusto so they can continue pretending to be allied with the Brains and getting their information. Dangerous idea! That will ruin the safety net of a tie if I played the idol incorrectly! I warn them of the risks, but they're so confident the other side is voting for Augusto that they do it anyway. I'm not so sure. Claire inexplicably told me her side was targeting Augusto (and she thinks I think I don't have the numbers to save Augusto), despite knowing the non-Nicole Edessas have an idol. Why? Hm I dunno, MAYBE BECAUSE SHE'S TRYING TO THROW US OFF TO GET US TO INCORRECTLY PLAY AN IDOL ON AUGUSTO AND WE JUST MIGHT NEED THAT TIE SAFETY NET. (Btw, through all this I'm still thinking about the mystery wiki template tribe and the possibility of an unmerge, but unmerge or no unmerge I want to keep my allies alive and my rivals dead either way) so now I'm writing this confessional as fast as possible waiting for results, and I'm not on Facebook right now so maybe results have already been posted and I don't know it, maybe I'll already be dead by the time I submit this confessional. Hey, at least I barely beat my Bali placement! But I don't feel ready to go at all, I have so much more to do in Byzantium, so much unfinished business, and this may be my only 703 shot. I guess I'll find out.

PS. If I mix up beauties and brains at any point in this conf, it's Bali habits
