- Fri Aug 18, 2017 4:01:24 am #8599 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 11:55:44 am #8635 Well...my fool-proof plan was thwarted...by fools!

Why's that? Because Andrea told Rory we were splitting the votes. So he saw the opportunity to get a 4-3-3 vote in. Yeah, yeah, I know that wasn't the real reason. The real reason was because we kept him out of the Vytas blindside and he didn't trust us anymore. But telling him we were splitting the votes didn't help. And the reason it irks me is because then I have to call Rory out on a lie about him not knowing the votes were getting split, and then Andrea gets the credit for switching the vote to Lil last minute. Yes, she suggested it first, but I was the one that confirmed we had to do it. Whatever, that's something to save for FTC.

I just did over an hour’s worth of damage control with Rory, consisting of talking about his boyfriend, Twin Peaks, my crush, and even more apologizing/Andrea-blaming for leaving him out of the Vytas blindside. At one point I asked how he would feel about a group with me, Ozzy, and Andrea. Personally I think that group sucks but I don’t want to lose his trust again. I also am considering a Rudy vote this next round, which we might need him for, although Sarah is making it real hard for me not to vote her out solely out of spite. More on the boot later, we got a whole weekend to figure that shit out.

But let’s focus on the positives. This tribal was fucking perfect on all counts. I’m sure all you hosties were flipping their shit over the idol misplay, the four votes on Ozzy, and the last-second switch to Lol. All of which was probably lost on the jury. But it’s cool, as soon as I vote Andrea out she’ll explain how we were partners in all the decision-making. She’ll do that, right? Right?! And now the PII is gone, there’s still fear of Mia having a regular ol’ idol, Sarah was exposed as a lying bitch yet again, and there’s zero chance of Andrea working with Sarah or Mia after they berated he for not voting with them. Seems no one but Fat Cass knows how to treat a lady right.

Nothing too revealing about the survey, besides the answers I was picked for…which is actually pretty terrible. Rory said he picked me as most likely to stab you in the back, and Lil/Sarah/Mia I’m sure were three more, Then the other five were probably spread between Sarah/Lil/Mia. I’m sure all their attempts to give us false security contributed to Ozzy and I “mistakenly thinking we’re in control.” I wouldn’t be surprised if Yul/Rudy threw a couple votes that way too. Hell, I can even see Andrea thinking she’s the real one in control, not us. Shouts out to Andrea for thinking everyone trusts me, to Rudy for thinking everyone thinks I’m really in control, and to Mia for thinking people think I’m most likely to win.

- Sat Aug 19, 2017 6:03:46 am #8666 Rudy, Andrea, and Ozzy are the three I need to get rid of before the F3. At F8, that leaves me with five rounds to take out three people.

Right now I'm telling Andrea and Ozzy that Yul/Rudy will most likely turn on us with Mia/Sarah next round if we give them a chance. I think we'd actually be able to get Yul to turn on Rudy, but I want Andrea to think otherwise--hence the thing with Rory. Andrea only needs to get rid of Ozzy and Rudy. She can wait a round. Ozzy needs to get rid of Andrea, Rudy, and possibly me. He can't wait a round. That's why I need to make Andrea think she can't wait a round (i.e. has to take out Rudy within the next two rounds, or else he/Yul/Mia/Sarah take over).

Say we take out Mia this round (which I'd prefer over Sarah because she's a challenge threat). Then this round Ozzy/Andrea/Rory/Yul/I take out Rudy. That leaves me, Ozzy, Andrea, Rory, Yul, and Sarah. At this point I create the same sense of urgency with Ozzy to take out Andrea (i.e. "if we don't do it this round, then Yul/Rory/Sarah will take over next round). Yul, meanwhile, needs to take out Andrea, Ozzy, and me, so he can't wait a round.

Next round it's me, Ozzy, Yul, Rory, and Sarah. At this point I have two rounds to take out Ozzy. It's important that I leave Ozzy for last because he's a challenge threat, so people will want to take him out at five rather than four. After that, with only Yul, Rory, and Sarah left, I have the highest chance of winning immunity. And blam. There's my endgame.

At this point I create the same sense of urgency with Ozzy to take out Andrea (i.e. "if we don't do it this round, then Yul/Rory/Sarah will take over next round).

Whoops, this part made no sense. It was supposed to be, "if we don't do it this round, then Andrea/Yul/Rory (or whatever combination it'll be) will take us out the next two rounds". Really Ozzy will probably just be worried about me teaming up with Yul/Rory/Sarah and will be relieved that I'm pitching anything that involves keeping him. Do I even need to let Ozzy in on that plan, though? Who knows, Saturday brings boring confessionals.

- Sun Aug 20, 2017 10:22:31 pm #8698 Tell Rory it's a 3-3 split between Mia and Sarah, but have him vote Mia. In reality, you/me/Andrea/Yul/Rudy split 3 on Mia, 2 on Sarah. If Rory tries something, Mia plays the idol on Sarah and Mia goes home. If he doesn't try something, it's 4 Mia, 2 Sarah, 2 wherever the two of them go (which may even be for each other). If Mia plays her idol on herself just in case, worst case scenario it's a tie 2-2 between Sarah and whoever they vote for. Then Sarah goes on the revote. Next round we tell Rory that one of Yul/Rudy was supposed to vote for Sarah but switched to Mia last second. Sound good?

Hopefully they go for this because I CAN'T TELL ANYONE THAT MIA DOESN'T HAVE A FUCKING IDOL

[Cassandra]

- Mon Aug 21, 2017 2:10:10 am #8727 WHY would Andrea tell Sarah the vote was Rory? She can easily go back to Rory with that information. There is zero harm in telling her it's Mia, and telling Mia it's Sarah. This better not come back to bite us.

[Cassandra]

- Mon Aug 21, 2017 2:20:33 am #8732

Boys vote for Mia. Girls vote for Sarah.

We tell Rory we are splitting it the other way around. Tell him to vote Sarah.

We tell Mia to vote for Sarah.

We tell Sarah to vote Mia.

No, wrong, did you even read my PM?

- Mon Aug 21, 2017 2:31:46 am #8734 Aight, I steered them back on course. It's okay, Stephanie, you can stop worrying now.

- Mon Aug 21, 2017 3:27:23 am #8859 Alright, so there's some Maury shit going on in TC right now. I'm just thinking whether or not to do that fake idol "trick."

Ozzy encouraged me to, but it's probably so that I usurp him as a threat for making that "move." BUT I also lower the odds of me having the idol to pretty much 0%.
