A Healthy Level of Paranoia/Confessionals

Day 29
"jigme"

- This game is just so insane. I'm on the outs of this tribe, and everyone knows that I have an idol. This game is so different from anything else I've ever experienced. I'm not used to being on the bottom.

I still have my idol, and I still have an ally with Lexi. I still have good relationships with a bunch of people, so I think that there's something I can pull off for this next vote. Maybe this time I'll actually be able to vote off Big Z?

Usually, I would want to make sure that I'm sitting next to someone I think I can beat. However, at this point all I want to do is make it to the end at all, I don't care who I'm sitting next to. The fact that I'm sort of an underdog should make it easier to make a case for myself at the end.

Marty wasn't really a good ally because of his scheming making it hard to get people to work with us, so I'm expecting myself to have more opportunities in the game now that he's gone. Maybe I could work with Seamus and Damien and blindside Big Z (more realistically Jp, since Big Z and Seamus seem to be close). I might not be a target since I have so much power with my idol, which is really great :D Assuming Lexi wins immunity, you'll definitely be seeing me in the final 6 ;)

"jigme"

- (this is literally me copypasting my VL)

VL: Hello hello hello I'm on vacation yet I'm still managing to fucking destroy 703 Survivor and slay the competition

Pory went for me and he got REKT Marty voted for me and he got REKT Vincent just voted for me so guess what will happen to him soon enough? That's right, REKT the fun just never does end for Big Z's game

The fact that I'm literally on vacation and I have a better social game going than at least three of the remaining six other players should tell you what I'm dealing with here but things are going swimmingly

and not only because I've been swimming in the ocean I'm actually crushing it

"jigme"

- Ok here's a confessional with some SWEET DEETS about the game for me

So as difficult as it has been to properly play this game while also enjoying my vacation and barely being around, the good thing is that players like Damien, Liam and Vincent aren't very social to begin with which means that I don't really need to have long conversations with them anyways. Lexi isn't even that good socially she just randomly ends conversations like I don't see where her rep as a great social player came from.

But anyways Marty going home was actually what I wanted regardless of me having voted for Vincent last tribal, as much as Vincent clearly has an idol Marty was blatantly making this game more difficult for me and the fact that he randomly decided to turn on me and everyone for no legitimate reason lead to him getting blasted out of the game. It's not like he was ever winning in the first place but still.

Jp and I are still a solid f2, Seamus seems to maybe want that but I'm sure he put that sort of deal into place with Jp too so I'm not even sure where that goes really. There's a technical default majority of me, Jp, Seamus and Liam but the idol could throw off everything so who really knows. Damien is still in with us but we don't really trust him so he'll be gone quickly. Lexi just needs to lose a goddamn immunity for once so we can actually vote her out.

Going forward I'll ideally keep the f2 with Jp because I'm confident that I can beat him, otherwise I can try to latch onto Liam and make it further with him since I can beat him too (he's a goat). Seamus/Lexi/Damien would all be tough to beat at the end but I believe in my ability to do it anyways. Oh, and Vincent literally wouldn't exist in this game if it wasn't for him having an idol. He'd be another Liam.

But my entire gameplan this game has been to take every single vote one at a time to do whatever makes the most sense for me reaching the end of this game. I always have a gameplan that I want put into place, it's just a matter of whether it is properly executed or not. With the exception of Tyler going home, I've been satisfied with every vote result of a tribal that I've been involved in. ALLOW ME TO QUICKLY REVIEW:

Shay - irrelevant to game, easy vote out

Aleks - I wanted him gone sooner than later anyways, glad he was idoled out rather than me

Karsten - He wanted me out, I took him down

Drew - Drunkenly made an F2 with me and immediately turned on me the next day proceeding to rock himself out. Chaos, not what I wanted in the game anyways

Tyler - I would've been SO CLOSE with Tyler all game long (probably F2 even) and I was legitimately sad to see him go, but I had to make it look like we weren't close because apparently that was the perception of things

Pory - He went for me, time to die

Marty - He went for me, time to die

So now, my ideal vote-out pattern for the rest of the game (although nothing goes as planned anymore):

7th: Lexi

6th: Damien

5th: Vincent

4th: Seamus

3rd: Liam

Which of course leaves me and Jp at the end with me most likely winning. Jury probably aren't huge fans of Jp whereas I have a legitimate actual game building up.

The biggest problem here is that I'm on vacation and can't play to my fullest extent. I go into every vote fully expecting to die somehow. It's a healthy level of paranoia and I thrive playing each vote with that attitude. I'm ready for everything to drop off every tribal, but it never does, and ideally it never will.

"jigme"

- Touchy Subjects was, well, good? Sure I got a lot of the 'bad' answers but it proves that my lowkey game is working. I've already made moves in this game (like flipping against Marty for the previous vote). I think the other Jigme tribemates have already written me off especially since they think I have no chance at winning this game, but I think I'm playing decently so far! I'm happy with how the results turned out after reflecting on them for a couple hours. We're in the final seven and nobody sees me as a threat, and winning the 'least likely to be sole survivor' could easily work in my favour for helping to get to the final 2, since people may think I'll be an easy win. But of course I do need to take more control, hopefully I can with this next vote.

Day 30
"jigme"

- I FELL ASLEEP DURING THE DAMN CHALLENGE

Guess who isn’t winning this one with his advantage that he also botched completely that’s right THIS GUYYYYY

That’s okay though I’m gradually getting more preoccupied and I keep kind of letting the game pass me by, it isn’t that I want to give up or quit or anything but I wouldn’t be too torn up if I did manage to get voted out. We’ll see though, there’s time yet in this game and I of course plan on winning it

"jigme"

- I can't believe we're on day 30 already, only nine days are left from the finishing line! This challenge seems super hard but I'm gonna give it a go if I get home in time for the deadline. I hope that we can take out a threat at this stage in the game - there isn't long left to make moves and get rid of the big players in the game before the final tribal council, it's very key to look forward to the end goal now since we're so close.

Day 31
"jigme"

- SO I WON IMMUNITY! GANG GANG! so i made the move before reward was posted to tell vincent we need to start working together and told him all this sappy shit which was true about how we hadnt been working together but if we did we could easily get f2. whatever hehe.

so i win immunity and then i took the night off and went to a party where i got sooo high and i got home and tried to talk to people but was sooo confused so i went to bed.anyways i woke up in the morning and we agreed to a lexi vincent split with lexi going home. but i kept talking to vincent telling him oh just get 1 more and ill flip. well damien decided to lol. but before i did i told vincent if damien flips so will i. BUT NO IMMA JUST WATCH HIS GAME BLOW UP!

My allegience has always been to me myself and i. then liam jp and zach lol. so i told liam/jp/zach and now all 4 of us r voting vincent hopefully killing his idol. or, if he does play his idol zach goes home and it's 3-3 LOL.

"jigme"

- Tribal is hopefully gonna be simple because the decision is pretty unanimous, even with Damien wanting to flip against Big Z, he did it publicly so it's not a shock and it's honestly such a dumb move to flip into the minority...I don't know what he was thinking, but at least now we have a core 4 instead of a core 5, makes my job a lot easier! Well, it kinda does if that's the route I want to take in the future. For right now, this four makes sense, but at the end of the day, I'm not going to beat either Z or Seamus if I get to the finale against them, so something has gotta give, I guess only time will tell.
