here's my perspective on the game, correct me where i'm wrong, feel free to add anything
tonight's votei expected a 7-3 vote, with mia leaving and rory getting them from mia, sarah and tiger lily. i wanted mia out because i knew she wasn't on my side anymore after voting brenda, and she was gonna try to get me out sooner or later. it became 4-3-3 (in my mind) when mia got the public idol. i didn't want rory to go home so i was gonna vote sarah. told him to do it too. the 3rd vote that i expected to be there was rudy's, we talked about keeping rory in the game to use his vote against ozzy and cass. that happened a few minutes before TC, i thought later that it's a mistake and i should've asked andrea to vote sarah instead. that's what made me a little nervous during the vote, i thought it's possible that rudy would flip. i also knew that 4 votes were enough for me to join you. didn't expect to be eliminated, but wasn't very confident.
aftermath of brenda's eliminationi expected some backlash, but i counted on 2 things:
1. with the big number of threatening players, they wouldn't go after the biggest one immediately after brenda. i expected them to vote another weaker player, because 2 big threats in a row could start the avalanche. tomorrow, i expected to be on the chopping block. not tonight
2. any move against me needed andrea. me and her were the link between most alliances. the game was setting up to be dominated by 3 pairs - ozzy/cass, rudy/yul, me/andrea. in my mind, it didn't make any sense for andrea to get rid of me so early and be alone in the lion's den. she knew i wasn't gonna turn on her, and she could vote me out anytime, but doing it so early isn't the best move. it can pay off, but it's a big risk and i didn't see her taking it.
power playersozzy is playing the best game imo, but i think he's the biggest threat now. rudy is doing great too, and he has a vote doubler in yul.
big cass is great but i see her joining us in 1, maybe 2 rounds. unless she has an idol. the ozzy/cass pair is scary, and cass is playing with fire more often than ozzy. people are noticing that.
andrea, idk. she's great socially but until tonight showed nothing strategic. if she can make it to the end solo, i'll be super impressed. she can be a good free agent, can also be brutally outplayed by the better strategists. still love her.
mia, eh. her status in the game depends on how involved she is tonight. she was close to being a goat until now, but if she steps up she may be good. she's also on her own i'd say. but knows what she's doing.
not winningyul. i enjoyed talking to him, but i heard it from a few players that he's not PMing them at all. so he's not that good socially. he's clearly rudy's #2, doesn't have a killer instinct. he'll do whatever rudy wants him to do, imo.
tiger lily. i fuckin love her, but she's been voted out 5 times and more often than not she's totally on the outs at tribal. look at what happened tonight - i told her to vote rory but was planning on mia, the others told her the same but actually voted me. she's considered a wildcard by almost everyone
rory and sarah are also at the bottom and don't know what's happening, and they're not as fun as lily.
who i'd vote fortiger lily is my first option. most entertaining player in the game. love her, love her, love her.
andrea is 2nd. i hope her move works for her and makes it to the end with a chance to win it.
rory is 3rd, because he was so loyal to me. at least made me think he is. if he lied to me, he did a good job.
ozzy-cass-rudy are the next 3, no particular order. depends on what they do next week. any of them can become #1 on my preference list
who i won't vote foryul. fun to talk to him but his gameplay is non-existent. i know rory is #3 and yul is here, but rory was never given options. yul had plenty of opportunities to do something, did nothing.
sarah. almost inactive, clueless.
mia. VERY annoying.
