Stranded for Revenge

So after three idols being shown at the last tribal council and a major threat taken out of the game, do you think that the game is ready to get underway? What are you doing to try to ensure that you are there at Day 39 in front of a jury wanting to vote for you?

The Becky Bros are looking good after all that commotion. Btw, we call the yul/ozzy/Rudy alliance Becky Bros. Rory isn't a part of it since he quit before the merge so we're the only surviving members of that alliance.

- Vytas is just got rid of Brenda and made himself the biggest target in the game. Bravo. If he gets out of this one, he will have to do a lot of dirty work. He has it in him, but I'm going to try to put a stop to it. I hope he doesn't use our conversations against Cass against me this round. That could fuck things up.
- Mia is after Vytas. She says she doesn't think Liliana/Sarah will be on board, but she's ready to boot him.
- Andrea doesn't trust Vytas anymore after being left out. I've been watering that seed of mistrust heavily. I used a couple trigger phrases with her like "he doesn't VALUE your opinion" and "do you two really have a PARTNERSHIP?" and she's eating it up. This is the perfect thing to happen to allow me to steal her away from him.

Things are looking up for me I think. I have great relationships with the following:
Andrea, Rory, Yul, Ozzy and even Mia I think. I feel somewhat confident that they won't vote against me anytime soon as long as I keep up appearances. The key is to keep them all here so that I don't have to do any heavy backstabbing. That's why I'm going to go over time into protecting Mia/Rory yet again this round.

My goal is to keep the friction swirling between Vytas/Liliana/Cass/Mia. If I can do that, I think I'm golden for a round or two.

any long term plans "after a round or two"? or just taking it round by round and confident if you keep surviving you'll be in a position to win?

I'm actually not that down on you as a player this season, but I'm giving everyone pep talks so... where's King Rudy at... will we see his epic return or is this like... UTR rudy or something?

This is a mixed answer. No and yes.

No, because I think it's foolish to assume the people I align with today are going to stay with me later. It's more important to gain trust through these small group victories. This is how you show people that you are dependable.

I'm trying to set myself up with a group of people who will always want to come to me for either help, cover or to make a move. I think I'm doing an ok job at it. I don't have the most influence in the tribe, but I do think my existence in the game brings the majority of players value. At least, that's what I think their perceptions are.

I think I can definitely be in a position to win if I keep up what I've been doing. I've made at least one impressive move in taking Candice out, and I think I've been able to maneuver my socially into a decent position. I'm actually surprised I haven't been more of a target despite me running my fucking mouth about a lot of people here. LOL MAYBE I AM BEING TARGETED?! #GASP

You got UTRP Rudy in Bolivia. CPNN Rudy in All Stars. MORN Rudy in Rivals. OTTNN in Legends.

You can settle for a nice UTRM Rudy this time around. At least for now. There's still game left. You know I've got the itch in me. All it really takes is for someone to really trigger me, which is highly likely at any time as you know. And besides, don't you want to see me win? I'm having fun, and I hope no one brings out my nasty side. I'm trying to keep a lid on it. Not a good look for me. But you also no I'm no punk. Liliana is trying me. Vytas is insulting my intelligence. I'm good with Mia but she's also a ticking time bomb and we could fall out at ANY SECOND.

Anyway I'm rambling. I think I'm doing pretty good in the game right now. Trying to position myself well with key players. I'm going for the W this time. Then my status as king will be known through out all the Stranded lands for once and all.

Some notes:

- If Vytas wins immunity, I will be shocked. I will actually need to pull a King Rudy and force a boot other than Mia, because I don't want her gone. It's just not good for my game.
- Sarah has gone crazy. Who is this person?
- I'm wondering who will win the public idol? I'm sure Liliana competed for it. I feel like only the people in the bottom or the power hungry would do such a thing. I'm thinking Mia/Liliana/Vytas are obvious competitors. Maybe even Sarah. I just hope they would play it immediately (sans Vytas), because that would burn the idol without it being re-gifted.
- Vyats is being so cocky and arrogant I love it. His sweet little Andrea is undermining him and serving his head on a platter to the rightful King of Stranded. This is just too good to believe it.
