- Mon May 08, 2017 10:34:37 pm #3190 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?

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?

- Tue May 09, 2017 6:51:27 pm #3245 At this point, I have tried to get Steve to flip by buttering him up, and I am going to stay persistent. Even before the Trish vote I told Andrea I would be willing to work with her, just to keep my options open and if I did get into trouble, if I needed her help then it just wouldn't look like I was being desperate, but I know she's not going to take the bait, but hey maybe she will need me eventually. So I don't think I am in any position to shake things up anymore because the numbers just aren't there, I did my best to stir the pot, but with no one trying to really make a move against Nick, Andrea, and Spencer, I am kinda just going to sit here and not cause any drama, and look as much as a nonthreat and then I'll come back out. I think Lindsey will try to stir something up and that might cause them to get scared of her.

I am very sure I know what happened. Aubry gave me the idol to make to "create confusion" after the last vote, I don't trust her at all, this was some kind of plan to get her to trust her completely, I mean I am not unwilling to work with her, but I am keeping my eye on her. I just know, if I didn't use the idol and I did get voted out, I wouldn't be able to forgive myself. I was actually thinking to use it on Trish, I sniffed it, but I didn't care about Trish, I cared about myself more, and if I was wrong, I wouldn't be able to live it down. So sorry Trish, you probably got voted out because you flopped to my side, LOL.

I definitely lost some respect for Aubry, not because she voted for me, but I should have caught on to the plan, but it was just too late.

Trish will definitely affect my game, she was one of my numbers that I knew I could for sure trust. So I am counting down the days.

I am confident with how I am playing, I totally figured I would be in this position, when Poody interviewed me, LOL I told how sloppy and flip floppy I am. I told him, I am usually an underdog. It's no fun if it's a landslide you know? You have a better jury story at the finals if you do get there. The majority will get paranoid and fight soon enough because they are crazy erratic people. I am just hoping I am there to be a swing vote for someone. Right now, I am trying to talk to Natalie and see if she wants to flop, so we can tie of the vote, like you know its a struggle when you are just trying to get it to at least tie! I think perceive me as a liar, which I feel like I am not, I barely talk people, but when I do, it's not to bash people, its literally just trying to get them to flip, very subtlely. I also think they don't think of me as a threat, LOL because so many of my plans have failed. So let's hope they go for more an aggressive target or LJ who's just there.

- Tue May 09, 2017 6:56:32 pm #3247 Hi Tai, just following up on some of your answers. Would you say that you're basically working alone at this stage? Is there anyone in your tribe that you confide in?

[Tai]

- Tue May 09, 2017 7:36:40 pm #3255 I am not working alone, I am still keeping tight with LJ or Lindsey but at this point I can see both of them throwing me under the bus to get in the majority anyhow? But that would get them like one or two spots ahead in the game. So I am banking that's not good enough for them, and for the goats to wake up and make a move. It's all about seeing who wants to knock off the comfortable people in this game, and Natalie wants to do something, so I am working on her right now.

[Kelly Wigles]

- Tue May 09, 2017 7:39:51 pm #3256 Who do you see as the goats in the game?

[Tai]

- Tue May 09, 2017 7:47:06 pm #3260 I see Morgan and Natalie as the biggest goats.

[Kelly Wigles]

- Tue May 09, 2017 7:47:54 pm #3261 Why is that? What about Morgan and Natalie make them goats?

[Tai]

- Tue May 09, 2017 7:57:01 pm #3267 I think I have said two words to Morgan and she's never around, I am sure she does whatever she sees in that groupchat they have. She's not around to make her own decisions. Natalie is Andrea's lackey. Andrea is riding Natalie and she's just carrying Andrea on a throne. Anything Andrea does, Natalie will do. If Natalie wants a chance at winning, she needs to do something great and to really differentiate herself from Andrea.

- Tue May 09, 2017 8:02:14 pm #3270 So Tai, tell me about yourself, what do you do for a living and what do you like to do for fun?

[Tai]

- Tue May 09, 2017 8:28:10 pm #3274 I am scared, LOL, why have you taken an interest into me LOL, am I doing that bad right now??

Gotta add, was just told by Natalie, she got chickened out about flipping now. So wants to stay the goat in the nice majority farm. I don't blame her, any spot is better than 10th at this point. I just told her its okay if you don't want to flop, but since we have an extra day to plan, maybe she will grow some balls and try to make something happen with me.



I am a bartender, and prelaw in undergrad. For fun, I go to the gym and edm shows, going to vegas for EDC will be my third time. I like KPOP and board games too. You will find me drunk most weekends.

- Wed May 10, 2017 2:16:44 am #3318 That's pretty cool, what's your craziest bartender story?

[Tai]

- Wed May 10, 2017 1:14:20 pm #3323 So, I was working and my coworker hosts a bday party at the bar. It was a pretty big party and everyone was having a good time until the cake was brought out. One of the birthday girl's friend throws some of the birthday cake at the birthday girl, but misses and it hits another guy. So the guy went up to the guy that threw the cake and was like mad, and all he wanted was an apology. But this guy was way too proud to apologize and was not apologizing, and they get into a huge fight. It was like 2 guys(person who GOT caked) vs. 10 other guys(person who threw cake). Chairs are being thrown everywhere, breaks one of our entrance doors windows. The fight gets moved outside, the 10 guys jumped the other two, and a gunshot was even fired. Turns out the guys who got beat up were the boss of the birthday girl(who actually a part of a gang, and it was her gang that beat the guys up) at her other job. She was fired because they didnt want to deal with all that anymore and plus they were like why didn't she check up on them after the fight? Yupp. Pretty crazy. The gang knew how to tip though.

- Wed May 10, 2017 4:55:29 pm #3325 Wow, that sounds pretty ridiculous. What were you doing while the brawl was going down?

[Tai]

- Wed May 10, 2017 5:41:40 pm #3329 just watching LOL

[Tai]

- Wed May 10, 2017 5:48:11 pm #3331 So there's a plan in the works to blindside Spencer?! Down, the people who don't know about this are Morgan, Nick, and Spencer? That's fine with me.

[Kelly Wigles]

- Wed May 10, 2017 6:43:51 pm #3334 So who told you about the Spencer blindside?

[Tai]

- Wed May 10, 2017 6:47:24 pm #3336 Andrea, but i think me, Lindsey, LJ, might want to vote another way just in case some fishy business, might throw our votes to Nick. So Morgan/Spencer/Nick vote one way. Andrea/Aubry/Natalie/Steve will vote for Spencer, if Spencer pulls out an idol. it will be at least a tie. 4-3-3

[Kelly Wigles]

- Wed May 10, 2017 6:58:49 pm #3337 What's Andrea's main reason for targeting Spencer? Would you rather him or Nick go next?

[Tai]

- Wed May 10, 2017 7:18:05 pm #3340 She's says she's too much of a threat.. I would rather Nick go, but that's just me. One of those two, I'll if the opportunity presents itself. Obviously, she could totally be lieing to me, but why I don't have an idol, she could have just not told me a plan, and continue to take out me, Lindsey, LJ, one by one.
