Stranded for Revenge

With a clear divide in the votes, is the game just beginning or was that the determining factor and the rest of the 4 that voted outside of the majority will be voted out?

What did you make of the survey questions and will that affect how you play going forward? Any new opinions on people based on that challenge alone?

The line in the sand was drawn last round with Vytas' blindside. This vote was just the first pagong and a measure of security. You can expect a pretty simple vote at the next TC unless rumors of idols get out there again. However, I wouldn't count Mia, Sarah and Rory out quite yet. They each hold varying amounts of value to different players in the game. At this point, whichever one of them survives long enough actually has potential to go deep into the game. I don't predict that the alliance of 5 will stick together all the way to F5. If any saber rattling occurs, I want to make sure that my guns are bigger, and that means ensuring that out of the three outsiders, the one I'm closest with survives.

I didn't like the way the survey results came out. Ironic, because I usually get the "bad" answers every season. On the one hand, I'm glad people think I'm going to win. It usually means there's a certain level of respect there. At the same time, it heightens my threat level significantly. Liliana even told everyone to vote me out on the way out the door. So it's a double edged sword. I'm just happy I won the challenge, because things could have gotten crazy had Mia won it.

Even more worrisome is that Cassandra got the question of who thinks they're control but actually isn't. In a way, she is my Rival this season. We are both smooth in the relationships we maintain. I know she's my biggest competition, and I think after the survey results, that has been confirmed. The issue now is going to be: who strikes first, and who actually strikes successfully?
