I Love Voting In The Minority/Confessionals

Day 26
"trebizond"

- LOL why is it every time I make a huge strategic confessional I never stick to my own plan and then what actually happens is neither what I did nor what I thought I would do. Mess. I love voting in the minority 5 times in a row and having 0 votes, now I’m really gonna be a target.

Okay I am so confused right now. Why did Nathaniel go??? WHAT. Like we weren’t exactly on the best terms but once again something happens and I am clueless. If only he voted Rhys last vote he would still be here now…

And now my biggest fear really has come true that Rhys/Toby/Matt/Sam all made final 8 and control half of the vote, despite Sam insisting he is with me and Nicole. And now there is no chance for a counter since Brandon will hate me and Nicole for voting him and Jenna is once again out of the loop and I just told her I would vote Toby and didn’t so she probably hates me too so basically we are screwed.

- Jesus Christ, this merge has been absolutely insane. Like, we've had a lot of just really chaotic votes where power and targets have shifted constantly, but I've always been in the loop, and in the drivers seat. Round 1, I panicked over idols and targeted Justin in the hours leading up to the vote, and almost perfectly organised a 4-3-3-1 vote, in the hope of flushing an idol. The idea wasn't based in the soundest of logic, but I targeted someone who would not benefit my game, and guaranteed my safety in case of an idol. Round 2, I pulled off the split that Justin tried in the previous round, and managed to keep plausible deniability (for a bit). Now, this round, I managed to escape from the cumbersome San Marcos/Bora Bora alliance without any of it being my fault, eliminate someone who doesn't trust me, and forge a stronger alliance of five, without even playing my idol! However, it isn't infinite goodtimes over here. I do have something more serious on my mind, and it's because of how I've treated Sam this game. He and I are best of friends, and I treated him with indignity and disrespect, and he quite rightly called me out for it. I managed to mend bridges, but it reminded me that I'm playing this game with good people, and honest people, which is something I all too often forget. Hopefully this will prevent me from running off and spamming trying to manipulate people, and will remind me to treat people better. I can only hope.

- That vote ended up working out because I decided to turn on Nathaniel and declare my loyalty to the boys. This puts me in a five person alliance with Toby, Rhys, Sam, and Matt going forward. This upcoming immunity is music catch 2 and I definitely want to win it because I'm in a dangerous spot within this alliance and I want to find the idol for security. I"m gonna fight like hell for this thing.

Day 27
"trebizond"

- Ugh this vote NNN. It seemed so set on Nicole, but Sam's paranoid ass wants someone else gone. Wait hang on the vote is switching LMAO. ok it seems to be brandon, and i plead to god this works NNN. wow so many NNN's. honestly this move does need to be made, cause brandon was gunning for me HARD and im not about that life.

- So I didn't win immunity, but in a stroke of luck Nicole did not. She apparently had a winning score too and she forgot to submit, and that allows me to dodge a major bullet. So I definitely have a chance to be targeted this round, because Nicole and Benj voted for me last time and they sure as hell could do it again. Luckily Jenna will never go with a plan to vote me out, and so at worst if Nicole and Benj turn Sam and Matt against me then its gonna be a tie with at least 3 people keeping me on a revote. I just gotta keep displaying my loyalty to these people and keep subtly telling these players that I won't win a jury vote so that they are more inclined to keep me around. Another vote another prayer.
