Well now that that's out of the way, there's only active players left to target. So what's the gameplan moving forward now that you can actually play?

Are you going to try to target Nick again next round?

What's the status of alliances right now?

And you know how much we like our rankings and lists, so if you had complete control over the boot order from here till the end, what would your ideal bootlist look like?

Well now that that's out of the way, there's only active players left to target. So what's the gameplan moving forward now that you can actually play?

Are you going to try to target Nick again next round?

The failed Nick vote kind of makes things difficult. I think the gameplan as of right now is to throw Tai under the bus. I'm basically only playing for myself, Lindsey, and Aubry so I don't really care what happens to Tai. We don't have the numbers to target Nick so that's off the table. If Lindsey were on board with it, I'd like to idol out Spencer or Andrea at some point. If we can get a unanimous vote for Tai, this might be the best time to do it? Spencer because we aren't sure what the deal is with him and Trish, and if he goes, maybe she defects to us? Andrea because we think she has the Detwah idol. She's closer in age to Lindsey and I, but she seems to get along really well with the Brat Pack so I don't think she's itching to come work with us old people.

I'll hopefully have a clearer picture over the next day or two, but as of right now either Tai is going or they are trying to blindside me or Lindsey.

What's the status of alliances right now?

Oh boy. So of the ones including myself, I think you have:

LJ-Lindsey (final two deal)
LJ-Aubry
LJ-Aubry-Julia
LJ-Lindsey-Aubry-Julia
LJ-Lindsey-Aubry-Julia-Tai?

Outside of that, you have a very chummy group of 5 that might be an official alliance:

Nick-Spencer-Natalie-Morgan-Andrea

And then Trish and Steve. it's unclear where they fit in but they had an interesting tendency last night to send Lindsey and I similar messages within seconds of each other, so maybe they are together?

Trish is interesting and I think she is trying to play every side right now, but I think her loyalties lie with either Nick, Spencer, or both.

Lindsey and I are pretty clearly outsiders. I have nothing in common with that group of five and outside of Andrea really have nothing to talk to them about.

And you know how much we like our rankings and lists, so if you had complete control over the boot order from here till the end, what would your ideal bootlist look like?

12. Andrea

Just to get rid of the possible idol.

11. Nick

I'd guess Nick is the alpha so I put him ahead of Spencer.

10. Spencer

With Andrea, Nick, and Spencer gone - Natalie and Morgan are toothless.

(There is no possible way for this to be the next three results, but if it somehow does - I'll include who would be voting which way to make it happen)

9. Tai (LJ, Lindsey, Natalie, Morgan, Trish?)

If he actually did make up the whole blindside Julia thing (which I don't think he did) then he will probably be a thorn in my side down the road.

8. Natalie / Trish (LJ, Lindsey, Aubry, Julia, Steve)

Trish should probably go as soon as she doesn't have immunity.

7. Natalie / Trish (LJ, Lindsey, Aubry, Julia, Steve)
6. Steve (LJ, Lindsey, Aubry, Julia)
5. Julia (LJ, Lindsey, Morgan)

Julia goes at 5 to give us an imaginary majority at 4 instead of a potential tie.

4. Morgan (LJ, Lindsey, Aubry)

Morgan won't win immunity.

3. Aubry
2. Lindsey
1. LJ

Hey that was an easy win for LJ!

As nice as that would be it's completely unlikely. There's still the Aomak idol out there somewhere and if they do go Tai this round and aren't just lying to us, we're even more outnumbered next round. Which is why I think NOW is the time for Lindsey to play her idol on Tai just to cause chaos.

- Fri May 05, 2017 8:17:20 pm #2703 Also, here is my understanding of what happened with the Nick vote:

Lindsey and I were pushing a Fran vote. Lindsey got a little pushback from Trish, who mentioned Aubry, then Julia as potential targets.
The vote was 100% Fran but Lindsey and I were starting to feel a little weirdness about the whole thing.
The blindside Julia talk starts.
Julia wants Nick DEAD.
5 of us vote Nick which would have been enough if they had split on Fran/Julia.
All 7 of them vote Fran.

Did they change the plan? Was the plan ever to blindside Julia? Could her TC answer have possibly been worse?

I think it was all a clever ruse to get rid of the idol and Lindsey and I stupidly involved ourselves in it.

- Sun May 07, 2017 4:16:12 pm #2716 Julia and Tai are so draining.

They (within seconds of each other which is never a red flag ) message me today. Julia wants to vote Tai because he's a snake. Nick is totally with her! It will be a nice, easy vote and will earn us some trust from Nick!

Tai is talking about the 5 of us sticking together and trying to flip Steve? But he's asking me very pointed questions which always makes me nervous. Things like, "who of those 7 would you most want to see get voted out?" To me that feels like a trap.

Honestly, between the two I'm almost leaning more towards trusting Tai? Julia thinks Tai made up this whole story about them voting for her. I seem to remember Trish talking to Lindsey about potentially voting for Julia. Tai's version makes more sense. They were going to split but changed it up either because of Julia's weak TC answer or because she told Morgan about the plan?

I like Lindsey because she always feels genuine to me? Like, I'm not trying to think of all the angles anytime she says something.

As of right now I feel like it's either me or Lindsey going tonight. Maybe I'm overestimating everyone though and they actually just want to vote Tai out.

- Sun May 07, 2017 4:17:36 pm #2717 I'll definitely be trying a little bit harder at tonight's challenge though.

[LJ]

- Sun May 07, 2017 5:55:18 pm #2721 Here's what I don't get: Do groups of people honestly not think it will be suspicious to message someone all at once? Also Natalie literally just said to me "So, have you heard anything about about the vote? I feel so left out its ridiculous"

Come on, Natalie. Really?

BUT WAIT THERE'S MORE

I asked her if she had heard anything, and she said, "Not a thing, I'm begging people to talk to me."

RIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIGHT.

Them treating me like an idiot means one of three things: 1) They are blindsiding me, which wouldn't really be much of a blindside, 2) They know that voting out Tai basically guarantees them final 7 and want to make sure it happens, or 3) They legitimately think they are clever and that I can't see right through it.

I mean, I guess best case scenario is 4) they just think I'm stupid. In that case they probably won't try to vote me out anytime soon.

Personally, I'm rooting for option 3 because I love people who aren't as smart as they think they are. The game will be crazy down the stretch if these kids all actually think they are Survivor Superstars.

- Sun May 07, 2017 6:02:46 pm #2722 Natalie: HOPEFULLY NOT. I HATE BEING ON THE OUTS LIKE THIS.

This is the most entertaining conversation I have had so far in this game. I love picturing her running back to their group chat like, "omg guys he totally bought it." And then Andrea is like, prepping her for what to say next.

I think I'm going to dive in head first and tell her that I'll make sure to tell her if I hear her name come up.
