But the real question is how do I get from here to there. I would like at the very least, to beat my previous placements. Of course I want to win but I am not confident in that. I was supposed to come in here and try to
not end up being seen as a huge threat by this point. But of course I can't help myself and I am. And a whole lot of the people who've left would not have been looking to cut me (yet), and a whole lot of the people still here would see me out post-haste. So there are tricky times ahead.
I'm still laughing at Ashley
I mean, I should be more sympathetic and heartbroken but that move is classic overplaying. I would be guilty of the same. She was trying to keep everyone happy, be a hero, and try to pick up a free immunity - but she forgot the basic reason we are all here lol. Thought she was invincible. But everyone always has their own plans. So it's a valuable lesson to keep in mind. Safety first.
And Ashley leaving solves a lot of issues that would have cropped up if she'd stayed mostly related to her shitty taste in allies, and her need (like my own) to try keep everyone happy all the time.
I'm lowkey delighted for Kelly too. Yes I know I voted her in there, but she reminded everyone that she is here to play just as much as the rest of us. One player = one vote. It has ~shook~ the dynamic too. And that gives me somewhere to hide.
With Kelly, at least Vytas & Mia flat out ignored her on the last tribe. Andrea too but not so much as she's letting on. Meanwhile I kept up chatting with her, schemed out some mostly fake plans, kept up contact - even if it was just appearances. As a result, when Kelly swears to have those three out of the game by F11 (check your maths hun), if I am included in that it's a much lesser grievance. If shit goes down here, that could be something hat keeps me alive. I said at one point that Kelly would be dangerous later as a goat for someone, and that someone would not be me. But I take both of those statements back. Firstly not a goat. But her at the end will have a hard time justifying cutthroat moves like that.Sitting beside her with a cleaner game is a great way to make my murky moves look positively polished. And secondly there are ways to the end with her. I've no solid plan right now, but I'd not be too pissed if that became my endgame.
Now. I left last night mostly to sleep, but also because it's always interesting to see where the groups start to form. Who comes running to my inbox and who I am left having to chase down. Similar to the Sarah round, we have a few days to sort shit out so there's no mad rush to scramble on night 1. Ozzy & Sarah notably failed the test. So I am taking from that Ozzy does not expect to be working with me/I'm locked in this big group/I'm pissed at Ashley leaving. And Sarah .. idfk with Sarah.
I think I'll start sifting through the PMs I
did get here, before I do a full write-up on each player, but for a quick synopsis here's my quick-map:
Yul-Rudy-Ozzy-Kelly will work together.
Vytas-Andrea-Mia(-me) the same.
Lil & Sarah will operate as a pair, maybe Katie too. Important to pick them up before they go elsewhere.
Rory is a relatively wildcard and while I'd like to think he works
against the Rudy crew, chances are he'll just do what's best for Rory.
Cassandra is another wildcard. She could go anywhere really. I think she'll try keep on the level with me. Maybe not Mia, but at least me.
Additional complications include Andrea's connections & love for so many people ugh. The Yul/Katie dynamic. The me/Lil and me/Sarah dynamics. Sarah just in general tbh, could she do us a favour here and spearhead a vote already so the backlash can happen?
And we haven't even seen a challenge yet.
didn't think it was possible to love you more.
