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 target Nick again this round?

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?

Everything I thought I knew about this game was turned on its head last night! Tai smoked my idol off of me, but he did it really clumsily. Nick is angry, and when Nick is angry people go home. Tai is next as far as I'm concerned, and that's fine with me. I jumped the gun last night, playing my idol at a really bad moment. Now I know though, I guess, and something of a burden is off my shoulders now that I'm really not a target anymore. Maybe I'll even work with Nick going forward. Nothing bonds two people like shit talking someone, and Tai is trying to fuck both of us over in one fell swoop. Aubry is still my #1 homegirl and honestly, from here on out everything is Jury so even if I go home I will still have the absolute satisfaction of voting Aubry to win all this, you know, provided she stays loyal ; )
The likelihood of Tai winning Sunday's challenge is teeny tiny, especially with beasts like Lindsey and Trish in our mix. I think he's gonna go home, but after my fuck up last night I think it just about proves I know way way less about this game than I thought I did, but I'm still in this. Giving up now is the absolute worst mistake I can make. This is where I hit my stride, IMO, and if I'm wrong about that, I sign up next season and play again.
Here's hoping things get better from here on out.

What's the gameplan moving forward now that you can actually play?

Figure out who I can vote with, earn some trust, and get Tai out, not necessarily in that order. My first friend on this island fed me lies, but he also showed his true colors. Immediately after the vote he said "well, I voted with you." As if that actually mattered. The truth is, it didn't matter who he voted with. Fran was going home and my idol was disappearing. He orchestrated that gracefully, yes, but now he's managed to incense both me and Nick, and that can't work out in his favor. I sure as hell hope it doesn't.

Are you going to target Nick again this round?

No. I think I made a mistake last night, but he and I are going after Tai together. We can deal with interpersonal shit once this snake is out of the water.

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

You mean the way they weren't split? I was told that the "Hadiboh alliance" was going to split the vote between me and Fran, but that didn't end up happening. Tai says they "changed the vote" but honestly I can't trust him. I'm a little floored by this, but I guess the best liar wins in Stranded, and right now that's Tai.

What's the status of alliances right now?

Good question. At this point I really don't know. I know I have Aubry but that's about it. Everything is very much up in the air right now, and not in a way that feels good.

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?

I have no idea, but Tai needs to get out fast. I also need to stop jumping the gun and be a bit more careful with what I say from here on out. This is complicated, but I can't say it's not what I signed up for! I'll try and take stuff in stride as it comes, but Tai goes to jury ASAP.

I told Tai I didn't suspect anything of him, and he is encouraging the idea that he didn't do anything. I'll let him believe I believe him, and see what else he tries to tell me.

I think I'm actually glad I wasted it honestly. I think if I didn't use it tonight the rest of the season would be an unending question of when to use it, and I think this definitely constituted a learning experience. Hey now, I won't need it anyway after I kick some individual immunity ass ;)

- Fri May 05, 2017 10:55:27 pm #2707 I talked to Nick. He and I are gonna vote Tai on Sunday provided he doesn't win immunity. Let's be honest, he sucks at challenges. It's not happening. I think nobody really can trust him at this point, so there's no reason to keep him. Tai is next boot, as far as I can tell
