So who is in your ideal f3? Why does the odd man (or woman) out need to go, in your opinion?

Can you break down your reasons for why you'd beat the two you want sitting next to you in the finals?

The discussion of threats and non-threats has been tossed around a lot the past couple rounds. How much weight do you give the labels that have been assigned to the remaining players? Who are the real threats and non-threats?

How confident are you in your ability to win if you get to the end?

- Tue May 16, 2017 10:26:00 pm #5492 yeah Nat didn't come online until 9:53 PM!!!!! 7 MINUTES BEFORE TRIBAL

But I said basically "hey your victory margin is largest here cuz the people who would vote for me and lj are the same people"

- Tue May 16, 2017 10:27:04 pm #5496 ok enough with these short posts let's get to the goods

[Aubry]

- Tue May 16, 2017 10:48:12 pm #5539 Alright, here's the deal.

LJ... gosh, I am just so in love with LJ (YEAH WE KNOW AUBRY SHUT UP ABOUT IT).

Anyway.

After the vote, Nat said she was positive that whichever of us girls makes it, takes it. She said she was gonna vote my ass out.

However.

I then explained in much further detail (almost juror by juror) who would win in a Nat/LJ/Me f3 and a Nat/LJ/Tai f3. She said she couldn't possibly see anyone voting for LJ because he barely voted correctly. I said "so did I tho" to which she responded "but you're so damn likeable" and I said "SO IS HE, did you see what he just did for me????" Honestly I don't think I could have explained it/played it better. Me and LJ really have played very similar games, I just was more in the know and in the middle.

Anyway, I made the point (and I think this is true... to a point) that if Nat takes Tai, the "Lindsey pool" of jury votes would go completely to LJ. Nat would probably still win, but it'd be CLOOOOOSE. Whereas if she took me and LJ, that same pool of "vote for the likeable person, screw gameplay" would be split between us, and she'd win by a considerable margin.

I think there is some truth to this, but I'm blowing it more out of proportion. To save my own ass.

I sold it best I can, and I think she may have bought it. Maybe. HOWEVER

Here's the thing now...

LJ is starting to be wary of Natalie bc of what we said. He would definitely vote for Nat over me (god I love him). So... at 4, ignoring the "who will have immunity" question, me and LJ will vote for Nat. Nat and Tai will probably vote for me, but there's a possibility I can get Nat to vote Tai... THEN NAT IS GONE. Small possibility, but still there. The best way to do that is to put my jury vote as collateral: "Hey Nat, I know we could both agree to vote Tai out... and then you could vote me out! So let me just say: if that happens, I'm not going to vote for you to win. And in a Nat/LJ/Tai f3, YOU WILL NEED MY VOTE. Cuz it'll be damn close." Haven't worked out how to get her to trust ME tho.

So, anyway, at best: Nat goes home, I have a me/LJ/Tai f3, and I win in a landslide. At worst: me and Nat make fire and it's LIT. THIS IS THE BEST CASE SCENARIO FOR ME AND I CAN'T BELIEVE IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! WHAT A GAME THIS IS TURNING OUT TO BE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
