ALRIGHT, TAKE A SEAT:
First of all, I just want to thank you for this opportunity, it's been a blast and simultaneously taken about 3 years off my life. Worth it.
I wanted to be more cut throat but my emotions got the better of me so that was something I wasn't expecting. I was expecting my alliance to want to keep me for at least one more vote but clearly I was wrong. I think I could've talked my way to staying tonight if I hadn't been at work for the last 4 hours but idk. I have no idea why everyone thought I was such a threat? I think they all thought I had an idol, so props to LJ and Lindsey for convincing them of that!
If I were to do things differently I would have played a more individual game rather than caring so much about the group. My gut told me that everyone was being way too quiet and now was the time to make a move, but I kept choosing the group over my own best interests, so that was stupid. When I play next time on the Studs vs Fans season, I want to give less fucks about what others are going to think. I think I did a good job of using reverse psychology to convince people to trust me, but it just wasn't enough to create a lasting trust, so I'll do more research for next time on how to maintain the facade.
What did I learn about myself? I'm suave af. I had no idea I had social skills at all, let alone that I was somewhat likable, so that was surprising! I also learned that I suck at challenges... yay, self-discovery....
I think right now Aubry and Nat have the least chance of winning, followed by Steve and Nick. I really want Morgan to get out there and show what she's capable of, I don't think she's a goat at all. Talking to her I could tell that she was smart socially, and I think that'll get her far. LJ seems to be playing the more reserved game, so unless he makes a big move, I think he doesn't stand a chance, not next to Lindsey at least, who's going to be viewed as more of a mover and shaker. Tai has made a lot of moves. True, a lot of them failed, but I think it shows initiative and promise that he'll do more later. Andrea is definitely in control of that alliance of 4, so I think that makes her a target. If she makes it to Final 3, she could definitely take it all. Steve hasn't done much outside of the alliance to my knowledge, so that doesn't bode well for him. Aubry's been on the wrong side of every vote and is basically a goat at this point. Nat is Andrea's personal goat. Nick relied on me to take out Alecia, which hurt my game, so that was my bad. I can't tell if Nick is just a weak player or in control of things.
I think what the jury did in India was stupid, like how does the jury "win" by picking an inactive player? LITERALLY no one wins, they're just being bitter. If anyone had been smart enough to take Fran and another near-inactive to the end, they deserve to win bc everyone on the jury was an idiot and let them take goats. If you look at Survivor Panama, Cirie targeted goats who Terry wanted to get to the end bc she wasn't stupid. If you take out the more obvious goats (inactive players), then it makes you look like a better goat compared to everyone else still in the game, thus, not a threat, thus, more likely to get to the end. Basic Logic. Like I'd be pissed if I lost bc the Jury was not only stupid enough to let me take two goats to the end, but bitter enough to blame their stupidity on me, like what happened in Kaoh Rong.
Yeah, next time I play though, I'm taking no hostages. It was a fun experience, but I definitely came to win. I'll be back with a sharper set of skills and less emotions!
