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?

Hey, I can't make moves alone It requires manpower and timing. Two things I have struggled to find so far this merge.

With that in mind, I'm hoping a nice juicy plan comes into play tonight.

First off, I've never been a mastermind at this game. I don't know if you just got this distorted memory of me in your head, Poody, but I'm not exactly a strategic powerhouse. I was always two things: Loyal, and Strong. I was on the positive side of a pagonging in both my seasons and then I was turned on both times. I survived strictly off luck. So I don't know what exactly you expected from me.

With that in mind, there is a lot of game left to be played.

I've always played this game with a brute force mindset. This is the first time I've had to really be sneaky, and hide within the numbers. I know it's not the most exciting way to get by but so far I think it's been pretty successful.

I recognize the position I'm in. I know that I'm next to Rudy and Ozzy and Andrea, who I absolutely cannot go to the end with. But at the same time I can't get take a shot this early because I don't trust anyone enough. I'm not high on anyone else's 'rankings.' I have to just take it one day at a time. If I make a move now, there are still 9 people left. I have to make sure I have the people to back me up. When we get down to lower numbers, I don't necessarily need to have people 100% with me like I do now.

Listen, at the end of the day I'm really not good at this I'm just stumbling my way through.
