Stranded in Socotra

That was a spicy vote off, who knew Fran had such fire in her?

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?

Now that Julia's played her idol is she still going to be a target?

What do you make of the way the votes were split tonight?

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?

AYYYYYYYYYYYY, TRIBAL WAS LIT
Julia wasted her idol- good
the other side is more organized than we thought - bad
things just got a lot more interesting - fantastic

I was getting a little worried that with out final 8, things would start to get boring, BUT NOT TONIGHT, lol
I think Tai flipped on us.
Morgan is a really good social player. It's becoming increasingly clear that she knows how to talk around something to get someone to go her way.
She says she wants me and Trish in final 3 with her, so hopefully that's honest and I have a solid 3 there. I also have a solid 3 with Andrea and Nat, so that gives me options, as well as I think I have a strong relationship with the Spice Guys, but Nick's a bit reckless, so we'll see. Not to mention the people you want to work with may not always be the best people to take to the end. RN I wan't Nat with me, but idk who else, it'll depend on who starts making moves. I may need to get Nick out soon, but not the next vote, I want a bit better numbers first.
Things have really fired up in this game and I'm ready to play! I need to solidify my relationships and get in good with the other side.
I really want to feel things out over the weekend, see who's willing to work with me, who I can trust. I don't think that Julia will be a target as much as Tai will be, but I think Julia is starting to look like a good goat since she completely failed at playing her idol.
Trish says that Julia told her it was Tai, which seems... suspicious. It might've been Morgan, but idk. I want LJ out for the reason that he doesn't seem willing to trust me in the slightest. Lindsey seems apprehensive as well. Aubry and I get along really well, but idk if she'll work with me. Julia seems like she'll tell me anything, so I'd be fine getting her out soon.
I'm trying to play dumb right now, but that only works if everyone else plays along, and we're not great about playing the same way, so idk how this'll work out. I might lie to Morgan and tell her that Julia told me that she was the one who flipped and see her reaction to know if I can trust her.... But I'll have to play it right.
Lindsey's straight up calling me out.... to lie or not to lie???
You KNOW I'ma lie!
A huge part of my strategy is to help my enemies find out the truth, and by doing so, I gain their trust bc why would I be helping them if I were complicit in the deed myself??
This is going swimmingly, pushing all the blame onto Tai is too easy, Nick must be enjoying this.
This is what you get for trying to make big moves at the wrong time, Tai!

Ideal Boot Order:
1. ME - perfect in every regard
2. Nat - she hasn't made any moves yet, hopefully it stays that way.
3. Julia - good goat after tonight's fail.
4. Morgan - maybe a good goat. idk, she seems ready to make a big move
5. Andrea - I trust her, but I don't think I could get her out after this point (sorry, but not really <3)
6. Steve - likely to take me to the end, and I might take him to the end too if he doesn't make any big moves.
7. Trish - challenge beast, I don't want to have to fight for final immunity against her.
8. Aubry - I don't have a great connection with her, so getting her out before she wins another challenge would be great
9. Lindsey - too good at everything to risk taking farther.
10. Nick - too reckless, we can flip the votes here, easy.
11. LJ - he doesn't seem interested in working with me, so sorry!
12. Tai - just bc it's probably going to happen on Sunday.

I have no idea where the HII are so hopefully those don't become an issue.
I'm going to make a final 3 with Steve and say we'll take a floater to the end with us.

I love everyone on here, I can't wait for the reunion show!!!!!

This group certainly has a lot of personality, you got that right!

Is Tai a threat to your game or is it an easily orchestrated vote?

Based on your ideal boot order, you put three goats beneath you. What incentive would they have for keeping you, a self-proclaimed threat, at the final 4 over having the final 3 be them?

Tai just seems to be what everyone wants and I really have no use for him so it just makes sense to not create waves over someone that I don't want in the game anyways.
I'm hoping to make a final 3 deal eventually with Morgan and Julia once they realize they don't have many other options, and I think at least 2 of them trust me already so I'll just have to figure out how to work that out exactly.

I'm trying to convince people that we should vote LJ out instead of Julia in case Tai has an Idol, but it's hard cuz I can't access the group chat from mobile (I'm at work rn) so hopefully it all goes my way. I feel like I can work with Julia whereas LJ has made it pretty clear we're not working together anytime soon. Plus, LJ is more of a threat in general. If we get him out instead of Tai that just gives us an even bigger number advantage AND hopefully Tai plays any idol he may have.

I guess we're voting Julia now to keep Trish happy? This seems stupid, if anyone is going to have an idol played on them, it'll be her. Why do we need to worry about keeping Trish happy? She does realize that we can't keep then here forever?? I think she's been working with LJ and Lindsey this whole time, hopefully next vote, we'll have the numbers to get Lindsey out, as long as I'm safe tonight, I'm good.
