What is your clear path to the final and what are the other options out there?

- Thu Aug 17, 2017 5:16:37 am #8337 WELL THERE YOU FUCKIN' ARE. where the HELL have my son and my twin been this game I have been worried SICK about you. I just Spencered a whole 'nother Spencer and y'all weren't even here to enjoy it with me.

I am currently trying to shrink my target down because I think it's pretty damn huge at this moment. So what a great time for loaded questions! I TOLD you I just Spencer'd another Spencer.

I want to stay with my five. The problem is I have a final 3 and Rudy's not in it, and that's just...kind of a shame, generally. Also Rory keeps telling me how much he trusts me but I don't really buy it, and I think he has tricks up his sleeve...but it's getting down to his time to start actually USING these tricks and I'm not sure he's gonna. But it's hard to believe he's gonna be satisfied being as much of a non-entity as he has been, given his Stranded history. But goddamn was he sweet to me to nice. Honestly everyone was besides Lill and Sarah. Mia's was fake as hell but still appreciated.

So anyway, my five is me, Cass, Ozzy, Rudy, and Yul. Everyone keeps saying "but they keep lying to me"--yeah, kids, but they don't keep lying to ME. What the hell does that tell you?

It's kind of baffling to me how many people here don't seem to understand that everyone is not here to play in THEIR best interests. People here get real mad when they discover you're not playing their game. When like..the trick of the trade is not that tricky, it's just about pitching things to people in a way that sounds mutually beneficial to all of you. How is Sarah coming to me and saying "I'm going next, you need to give me something" mutually beneficial to both of us? I need to what now?

I actually learned this reading over Lindsey's confessionals after Socotra. She mentioned one time I told her I wanted Tai out because he wasn't in my endgame, and she was like...why the hell should I care about Andrea's endgame? Why isn't she asking how he fits into my endgame?

And I went ooooooooh.

See? I'm learnin'.

I didn't answer your questions I guess.

I think last season you fell into the classic trap of being the obvious threat left in the game. I don't think the solution to that is to become the least threatening person, but instead learn to play around being a threat. Can't change who you are after all...

- Thu Aug 17, 2017 5:57:05 am #8345 HAVE I evolved? It's exactly the move I had made last time! Well, for very different reasons, and leaving me with a very different group. But on the surface it really does look like I'm rehashing Socotra. And now it's time for loaded questions!

I'd be a goat to someone who was kind to me. He wasn't kind to me. Then again, would someone who was kind to me ever put me in a position where I WAS a goat? Food for thought.

I still don't worry about going to the end with people who can beat me...who I can win against in the group of people left is far from my first priority in deciding who I go with. I'm fine with losing to Cass or Ozzy or Rudy. I don't think that's necessarily gonna happen the way it would if I went to the end with Vytas...and I also think they won't emotionally destroy me at FTC the way Vytas would. So win/win, really.

I'm probably gonna go home soon. But like what fucking ever, at least I did something. I got to hang out with people I like tonight without Vytas hanging over me taking credit for everything I say. I get to just...be, in a way I haven't been able to be. I told Rudy it was like I broke up with my shitty boyfriend, because honestly? That's kind of what it was.

And I do like Vytas. And I think he likes me. But I think he really doesn't respect me. And that's okay. Not everyone's gonna get me in life. I'm feeling very laid back tonight since that plan worked, ha.

Now IF YOU'LL EXCUSE ME it's time for the challenge I still goddamn love.
