- Fri Aug 18, 2017 4:01:14 am #8598 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?

- Fri Aug 18, 2017 4:04:07 am #8609 Hi. That was me. Did you see that last minute switch to Lil? See how I saved Ozzy's ass? MEEEEEE. Stop asking me questions and let me basssssssk.

why are group moves always JUST my fault? have you noticed this? it's interesting. it's like my only choices are vytas getting credit for everything I do or ME TAKING THE BLAME FOR THE ACTIONS OF GROUPS OF PEOPLE

no happy mediums for andrea

- Fri Aug 18, 2017 5:36:08 am #8628 ANYWAY

I would love for the rest of the 4 not in the majority to be voted out. I have no idea if it'll work out that way...it rarely does. But wouldn't that be nice?? I think it'd be lovely.

Mia and Sarah are reeeeeal mad at me, and I'm sure Lil's starting a lovely rage thread about me for when I get to Ponderosa. I guess I'm just like...not supposed to talk to people before I blindside them? I guess if I talk to you about what music I'm into it means I'm obligated to go to the F3 to you?

Lilliana yesterday didn't know that I know ASL. She didn't know where I lived. And I would say that's because we haven't talked anything personal, but then explain why I know about her cousin's wedding and where she goes to school and what her job is? We DID talk about that stuff, it was just one-sided. But I'm the bitch, for letting her pretend like she cared about my life for a day once she knew she was in trouble? Nah.

Oh and I couldn't care less about the answers to those questions.

- Fri Aug 18, 2017 6:32:50 pm #8644 Lol. You're finally doing well. You have so far been ahead of the game by making moves BEFORE other people could make moves on you. Will that trend continue or are you content in leaving your fate in the hands of others.


It's so hard doing your confessionals btw because i never know when you're in game mode or when you're in Andremotional land. Not too long ago you said you'd be happy being a goat to people because the game is for no money. But recently you've blindsided Vytas and now Liliana so clearly you want to make moves that will better your game? Even if it means getting to the finals with people you'll lose against. (how sugaresque <333)

But I never know how much of that is true with you. Are you truly wanting to lose to the end to someone great, or are you incapable of that because of your competitive nature?

I can tell you, if it's the latter, then you may not want to just rest on the two moves you've made, a big part of this thing is the element of surprise and allowing people to know you're gameplan completely is dangerous.

allowing people to know you're gameplan completely is dangerous.

*your

Sugaresque isn't off the mark, unfortunately.

I'm not WANTING to lose to the end as someone great, but I also know that my biggest strength is my ability to talk and to convince people of things. So I'm absolutely not saying I can outtalk ANYONE, but I do believe that I could have a stronger FTC performance than a lot of people. That's not enough to overcome any deficit, but it might be enough to overcome a small one.

Whether I'm in game mode or Andremotional mode can basically be determined by the time of day. Oh, it's during the day and it's active and there are people talking and scheming with me? Yayyy it's a game this is fun. Oh, it's night time and everyone's told me how much they hated me and then left me alone? WHY AM I ALIVE. rinse and repeat.

I'm annoying as fuck but you can't say I don't KNOW I'm annoying as fuck, and if that isn't a true test of...something...

The problem with going to the end with Vytas wasn't that he had a stronger argument that I did, it's that his argument required completely tearing down the work that I've done. Our stories were incompatible. On the other hand, you've got Cass and Rudy and Yul and Ozzy who also have great stories, and a great shot at winning, but their stories and arguments don't contradict mine. You see what I mean? So they can go up there and say look, here is what I did, and they have a great shot at winning that doesn't hurt my great shot at winning. So it's really just down to self-confidence that I can state my case well and, yes, dear, that thing you hate about how there's no money and if someone I like wins, that's okay too.

Where things are right now, I don't think there's anyone left who 100% beats me. There's a lot that can happen between now and the end to change that, of course. But if you think I'm gonna go to the end with Sarah and Rory just because everyone would be forced to vote for me...I mean c'mon, who are you talking to? I don't want to spend my last days here in silence, waiting for Sarah and Rory to check on me before the vote. nty. I want to be aligned with people who talk to me. It's not rocket science. It's Stranded.

At this point I've stabbed a lot of people in the back and lied to so many people that I actually think it's in my best interest to have people who I'm EXTREMELY upfront with. Plus it just helps me sleep better at night to know that I'm not a total liar...I'm fiercely loyal and honest with my select group of people. And I HONESTLY thought the people I screwed over last night fuckin' realized they weren't in that select group of people, but hey.

- Fri Aug 18, 2017 6:56:22 pm #8649 Oh and blindsiding Liliana didn't really have anything to do with Liliana. I borrowed it from Fiji, when they didn't know who of Mookie or Alex had the idol so they took out Edgardo. Rory was acting sketch as shit so we knew he wasn't with us, and we knew he told Sarah/Mia/Lil that we were splitting, so we figured since Rory's place in the split was to vote Mia, that they'd know it was gonna be 2 on Mia, 3 on Sarah, 4 on Ozzy (and it turns out they were expecting 5 on Ozzy because they honestly thought I was with them. huh) and I wasn't expecting there to be an idol play at all. But I knew if the idol was played it would be on Mia or Sarah 'cause no one had mentioned Lil all day so her name wasn't out there. So putting the 5 votes on Lil was just the safest option. Turned out it would have been fine to do 5 on Sarah instead, but that's more of a risk since Mia would have been more likely to play an idol on her than on Sarah.

AND nobody would goddamn listen to me about this so it took until TEN SECONDS before tribal for cass and ozzy to come around and thank god everyone listened and changed their vote.

[Andrea]

- Fri Aug 18, 2017 6:57:31 pm #8650 SO MY POINT IS, that wasn't really some big move to get rid of Lil, who as I said on my list earlier I think was a big threat to win and a totally solid player, as much as it was just a hail mary to save Ozzy. Lil was the unfortunate collateral damage. I'm not the one who said "you deserve better" in my voting confessional, but I could have been. She played a great game. Just a casualty of numbers.

[Andrea]

- Fri Aug 18, 2017 6:58:22 pm #8651 ALSO

i've made 3 moves, THANKS. katie was mine. i know it's not FLASHY but i reeeeally needed her gone.

[Jeff Probst]

- Sat Aug 19, 2017 12:54:01 am #8661 Well, I've always said, what made Cochran very successful in Marquesas was staying 1 step ahead of even his allies who he wanted to go to the end with... doesn't always mean they wanted to go to the end with him, so he improvised to catch them off guard.

So far I'd say that's what you have done and it's worked well for you. Just wondering if you are going to rest on your laurels and hope that the people you want to go to the end with also want to go to the end with you, or are you going to force your way there lol. I think ultimately, you're incapable of just standing by and letting things happen, so I don't really have to worry about pepping you up, but the more i talk to you the more i get to know what you're thinking when that moment comes.

[Andrea]

- Sat Aug 19, 2017 1:24:17 am #8663 Right now I have a lot of people who say they want to go to the end with me because they know how pissed the jury is at me, I guess. I got a nice charming PM from Mia yesterday telling me I can't win and how everyone hates me, and even threatening that she'd turn Brenda against me if I sent her to Ponderosa. Charming! She says I have to take her because I have to go to the end with people who would never vote for me. Wow, playing out the endgame with people who hate me! That sounds fun!

Meanwhile Rory's trying to start some thing with me and Ozzy and Cass. I think he wants the two of us to be a pair to counteract Cass and Ozzy, because he keeps telling me that Cass and Ozzy are closer to each other than to me (which...so? I'll worry when I'm their fourth and not their third). So a foursome of me/Rory/Ozzy/Cass doesn't interest me as much as keeping the five going, because right now what I really have going to me is loyalty to that five.

I don't know what's happening for the next vote. No one's really talked about it as far as I know, at least. We'll probably just get Sarah out because she's driving everyone crazy.

[Andrea]

- Mon Aug 21, 2017 1:10:01 am #8712 Mia just told me being able to lie the way I can "isn't normal."

She...knows I'm a writer, doesn't she? That I literally make up stories for a living?
