5th Place | 8th Juror | Voted Out 3 - 2
By Kimmi Kappenberg
#2653 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?

#2677 Well tonight was 7-5... and everyone (and by everyone, I mean jittercase Nick) was all like "omg who flipped, who flipped?"

It's Tai. We know it was Tai. I don't understand who the hell wanted Tai, or thought he was with us in the first place. Like, he didn't like Nick in the first place, and was already friends with Julia and them. So whoever thought he was our 8th person was just dumb there.

This thing that I thought was a big deal wasn't that someone flipped, but that the other side managed to recognise it and vote 5 strong. That means that there's clearly a divide, and it's 8 vs 5 right now.

I'm gonna guess the 5 are too SMART to stay where they are, and the 8 are too DUMB to stay where they are.

Idiots.

#2700 Status of my alliance... good question.

It's say it's already on the tipping point! And we're one vote in! I could certainly see Tai being next and us going full force at him... but after that? Let's go over everyone in it.

Trish: The main reason that it's gonna go to shit, and no one recognises it at all. She told me flat-out last night that Spencer and Andrea have idols (didn't understand her reasoning as to how she knew that, at all, but....) and that we'd need to flip soon, because she's friends with Lindsey. As well, she set up a final 3 with me (because who wouldn't love to bring me? ^^)... interesting.

Nick: He's paranoid as hell, right now. If one person from our 7 flips, he is gonna go crazy, and it's gonna bring Spencer down with him. I think he's moderately pissed at me about winning the numbers challenge too... I made sure to not tell him that I knew what his score was, beforehand.

Andrea: If she has an idol, she should be LOVING what's going on right now. She's the other one that's made a Final 3 plan with me (and Natalie....guess who wins that one). I have a feeling that she trusts me tho, which is good. I dunno if she just trusts me, or think's I'm too dumb to orchestrate anything, but I'm happy either way. IN ADDITION...Nick pretty much owes her his life right about now, she decided to switch to from Julia to Fran last second.

Natalie: For someone super smart, she's doing a very good job at staying super relevant in non-strategical talk, but quiets down during strategy. So she's one to watch...

Spencer: Of the two pretty boy Sheikhs over there, he's miles more rational. I think I'm most similar to him, of anyone in this game...I wanna see if we can get something going.

Morgan: Oh she's so funny, she thinks she's being all smart and strategical and stuff. In all honestly, she almost screwed us over by pretty much only talking to Julia and them before the vote... her quadruple bluff almost blew everything up further.




I think my itinerary pretty much comes down to:

1) Bond with Spencer a bit more
2) Stick with the group against Tai, if that stays a thing
3) Keep Aubry around... we agreed that even though we're on opposite sides, we'd try to keep eachother in
4) Get Lindsey out (without Trish figuring out I was behind that...)
5) Raise some hell :) My perfect band of misfits right now would be Aubry, LJ, Spencer and myself, but that'll take work.


Is LJ close to Lindsey even? ugh

#2711 Well strategy has come at a minimum since Thursday... I fully expect everything to get rolling again tomorrow afternoon.

So Nick, low and behold, has a new plan to try to keep Tai around, because flippers are good people to take far. Whatever. Andrea told me that he told her that, so i decided to casually toss it into a conversation with her. Something like "I'd say we keep Tai around, but some idiot is gonna be like: "Let's keep him around, he won't get any FTC votes!"

Nick suspects nothing. Good, whatever.

SO then we talk and kinda agree that Julia or LJ sound like good ideas. I like the Julia idea better.

but...

I've been thinking about this since. And this seems like a time that I can /maybe/ do something.

I'm scared of Trish and Lindsey right now. They're my white whales. SO...we have 7 vs 5 numbers for the time being, because Trish is still trying to build up trust with the others (she told me she's gonna need to flip to undermine Andrea soon). But if I can kinda shift our alliance's vote from Julia/LJ to Lindsey...

Then Trish is weaker. Because I'm like, 70% sure Trish is gonna do big things here.

The problem with that is obviously that Trish is gonna try to dissuade us from Lindsey, and try to stick the target back on Julia, probably (I think she likes LJ).

If I can somehow get people on board with "We want Lindsey gone, but I dunno if we should tell Trish, they're super close", it might work out. I'd be Trish's backstabber in that scenario, however, because Trish told me that she wouldn't mind final 3 plans with Lindsey and I...

Grrr too much to think about. Tomorrow's gonna be really big

#2719 Tai brings up a good point in saying that, of everyone, I'm in the middle.

Because you have the "chill, cool adults club" over with LJ and them...

and then you have the "Let's keep laughing at Garrett without end" club over with Nick and them.




And honestly, I'm neither.

It's Stranded: Millennials vs Gen X vs Steve

#2720 How I see it, Andrea's dangerous, but isn't gonna weave her way through everyone, because they know she'd win.

But that side of "millennials" (I'm actually gonna call 'em that now) is still dumber than the "Gen X"ers...



Hmph

#2723 They want LJ.

Of course they want LJ. Like, why? LJ doesn't scheme as much, from what I can tell.

Trish and Lindsey together are trouble, but I can't seem to get anyone on board with just taking out Lindsey, the clearly better player? Who has connections? So......?
