#4771 Final 5!!!

Down to the nitty gritty now.

Now it's not only about getting to the end, but also winning. You only have 2 more episodes to prove to the jury you earned the win, or else you will be left "explaining" why you should win, which will be very difficult. Actions speak louder than words, as they say.

So what's your plan to prove to the jury that you deserve the win?

#4892 I hope you aren't underestimating me Jeff!!

So what happened this last vote is pretty crazy, I honestly didn't expect it to work, but I am so happy it did! So it goes down like this, LJ or me needed to win immunity. I think if he didn't it wouldn't have worked out the way we wanted it to. So many things happened. I know the "majority" was going to vote me. Starting from the F7, I have been working on Natalie to flip, and I think she wanted to flip too, she needed to separate her game from Andrea. I don't think I can say I have LJ in my pocket, but we have been going with the flow.. he just doesn't have such a hatred as I do. And I am very curious as to what moves Steve has done to stay in this game besides stay close to Andrea and win immunities.

Aubry, I am so sorry girl, but I can't trust you, I stopped trusting you two votes ago. She is going OFFFFF trying to make me feel bad, but I am playing her very well. This girl before the vote is telling me everything, I felt bad because I knew she trusted me, she wants to vote Steve, I'm sorry that won't fly with me, so she gets everyone to vote Steve, I am not going to give you another move under your belt, and it doesn't make sense to me to keep Andrea over Steve for my game, I know she will always be against me, at least I can talk to Steve, and I like the guy too, I don't care if he has voted me so many times. I give her a couple of ideas, like hey what if we split votes Andrea/Steve will vote me, LJ/Natalie will vote Steve, and me/Aubry will vote Andrea! You know if an idol is played it will at least get to a tie vote. Aubry is like no nononononono, the vote will be Steve, and I was like how can you be so sure? Then she lets out the secret. She has the idol. Idk if I could believe her or not! But she's so cocky about this vote, I go straight to Natalie and LJ. We can make this plan work. So I tell Natalie first, we need to make this vote 3-2-1. Aubry will vote Steve. Steve/Andrea will vote me. And then we get our wish to take out Andrea.

I am proving to the jury, I have had a target on my back for this whole game. I have been to EVERY SINGLE TRIBAL except the first(But that was a fluke because Spencer messed up) I am the Denise Stapley of Stranded. I have CHOSEN to be in the minority. I have told the biggest threats in the game, I am voting for you. I have stayed loyal to those who have been loyal to me. I deserve to win this game. I will call it my "reactive social strategy" I have stayed quiet when I needed to be and made moves when I should be, and that's why I deserve to be the winner of this game.

I have made connections, I always knew Aubry wouldn't vote me. I have always had Lindsey/LJ on my side. I have kept a good relationship with my enemies, mostly being Andrea because I knew I would need her. I have kept close to Steve. I have safety nets everywhere. And hopefully, this vote, me/Natalie/LJ will stick together to take out Aubry/Steve. I would prefer if Aubry lost next to Steve. But Steve is pretty good at challenges, so he might have to go.

#5038 Tai, do you feel, with such a strong resume in the game, that you can beat anyone at final tribal council? What are your thoughts on the jury members so far?

#5091 I do believe I can beat anyone at tribal council. I have no idea if the jury will take this game personally or not though. A lot of the votes will go my way if certain people aren't sitting next to me in the finals. Like Julia for instance, she will give her vote to Aubry than me I think. And Lindsey will give her vote to LJ. Andrea to Natalie. But I think a majority of players will see my finale speech and my answers to the question and give me the win over the others.

My biggest competitor for jury votes is Aubry, which is why it's too dangerous to let her in the finale.

I also need to get to the end! I am still in soooooo much danger. I pinky promised Aubry, which I have no intention to keep. Steve I knowwwwwww he can pull something out of his butt, so I need to stay on top of LJ and Natalie. Because I think he's the third goat at least the one Jeff is referring to. They can easily take me out. But I really hope they don't, I have to make it seem like I will be getting no ones vote in the jury. And I have to make it look like Steve will get them all so LJ and Natalie will still vote with me.

#5095 I am willing to risk giving up Aubry's vote, she's trying to play with my emotions with this pinky swear thing, but honey this is a game. I'm sorry she said something to me before she was willing to play this game with her friends, now she just wants to win. Now that's how I feel. So I have to tell her what she hears, in order to stay on her good side so she doesn't try to target me.

#5124 LOL, Steve and Aubry both telling me that if the other person gets to the final it's game over. Well, I guess they think are gonna beat me. Steve thinking that this is HIS move, no this has been calculated for a while now. I wasn't ever going to take Aubry, and I want to take you out next. But if he does win that last immunity, I think I can beat him too. I think they are underestimating what I will bring to the table at the end. So hopefully they don't realize it.
