Stranded in Socotra

Final 10! We're almost into single digits, how exciting is that?

So with that in mind, what's the plan for you next? Are you going to shake things up any time soon? Do you think anyone else will if you don't?

What do you make of the way the votes fell tonight? Do you know where everyone voted?

Did your trust or respect for anyone rise or fall after that tribal?

How much would you say Trish leaving will affect your game moving forward?

Lindsey made some comments about your activity during tribal. What are your thoughts on that?

And also, how do you feel about your game as it stands now? Do you feel confident in how you've been playing or do you feel like you have some more moves to make before you can deserve a win? How do you think the other players perceive you?

It's awesome! Since we are in the final ten I feel like it's finally time for some moves to be made. We haven't had a good blindside all season! It's past time for one.

The plan next is to take out Tai, dudes untrustworthy and now that he doesn't have an idol, we need to take him out. Taking out Tai also leaves the duo of Lindsey and LJ in the game. Hopefully by us sparing their lives they will work with the Detwah Three and take out Spencer.

I know where everyone voted tonight. Obviously Spencer is a big target, so it's awesome he is still in the game for now. Keeps my name out of people's mouths.

Lindsey came across as really bitchy during that tribal. She is upset that I haven't talked to her, and I get that. But I have my reasons. She's just mad that she's in the minority and has chance of winning. I reached out to her today but she hasn't responded.

As far as my activity goes, it's true that I have missed two immunity challenges, but one was completely out of my control and the other was because I'm not going to let an ORG stop me from seeing a movie I've wanted to see for two years. I've at least let everyone know both times that I was going to be gone. But ask anyone else, I'm active as far as talking to people. Just not her or LJ.

I feel good about my game. I am playing somewhat under the radar and for some reason that seems to break frowned upon by both players and hosts. But that's fine. It's my game, and if I'm there at the F3. I'll explain my self and Im pretty confident that I can win. I feel like people perceive me as a goofy person with no real strategic mind. But they will see in the coming weeks how wrong they are.

Hi Natalie, just following up on your answers, you said you have your reasons that you haven't talked to Lindsey, what are they?

Would you say that you're in a good spot right now in terms of how the game is panning out?

Well actually, since I posted that confessional;me and Lindsey had a pretty good talk. We are actually working together to blindside Spencer tonight. Along with LJ, Aubry, Tai, Steve and Andrea. However, all it takes is one of them telling Spencer and we could be in trouble.

If this blindside goes according to plan, I think that I'll be a great spot. Andrea, Steve, Nick, and Tai are all bigger threats than me. I should be able to continue to mastermind behind the scenes and make it to at least f6.

Could you tell me more about the process of masterminding behind the scenes? How does that work?

I mean, with the Spencer blindside, I was the first one to go to Andrea and suggested that we keep some of the people at the bottom close because we didn't want Spencer and Nick both getting to the final 8. My plan is to plant the seeds of whatever I want to have happen and let Andrea and Steve take the fall if the moves go bad.

Has there been any other examples of this happening? If it works, wouldn't Andrea and Steve just get the credit for it?

The Spencer blindside is the first time it's ever made sense to make a move like this. To answer the second question, I think that's kind of a good thing. I'm hoping that my social game can win me jury votes. My strategic game will get me to the end. I don't think I need "credit" for my moves if people like me more than the two people I'm sitting at the end with. But, I will still try to convince the jury that I had a big role in the moves I make.

So you talk about having a good social game, tell me what you've learned about each of your tribemates and how you see each person approach the game.
