LJ... We've talked a lot in the past about threats vs. goats. It's no secret the lesser threats will not want the more threatening players in the end with them.

My question is, with only 3 spots in the final 3... there are 3 "threats" remaining in the game and 3 "non-threats." Are you confident you are on the right side of that equation?

la la this is really subjective why are you stating it like it's an objective faaaaact

Well I'm trying to make a logical point. It's fine and dandy to assume that you are going to be in the final 3 and to get rid of the biggest threats to you winning... but BEING in the final 3 is not a guarantee and that's where this becomes complicated, no?

[Andrea]

So Andrea, you were voted biggest threat a while ago (to be fair). Are you concerned tonight?

Why would it make sense to keep you in the game at this stage?

Of course I'm concerned, have you met me? I'm literally always concerned. I'm concerned on nights we don't have tribal that somehow I'm going to get voted out. This weekend when everyone was incommunicado, I was half convinced it was an immunity challenge I'd missed the memo on and the last person to use chat wins. I am a paranoid human being, Jeff.

It makes sense to keep me because of the bonds that I've made and the promises that I've made to people. There are three people in this game who can trust me until the ends of the earth, and they know that.

Plus I think the whole "Andrea wins if she gets to the final 3" thing is really hypothetical and overblown, if I'm being honest.

Let's just say this part is true, in a fantasy world for you. You are still a number in this game, so even if they want to get rid of you, they still have to consider that they are losing a potential vote. Are there people here that you do not think will make the final 3?

I mean, if everything goes the way I want it, there are two people here who are definitely not in my final 3. They know it. Everyone knows it. The four of us managed to keep how close were hidden for a reasonable amount of time but I'm pretty sure that's all out in the open at this point.

And seriously, HOW is this a fantasy world? Do you want me to hype everyone's game for you? I can do it.

Of course. But the idea that the people left can be divided evenly into 3 threats and 3 non-threats is ridiculous, imo. What are these criteria?

a fantasy world in that being in the final 3 is a guarantee of winning.

ah, okay, I misunderstood. Well I'm under no delusions that I automatically win a final 3 against any combination of these people, and honestly I don't think anyone here is.

[Aubry]

- Mon May 15, 2017 9:11:15 pm #4669

Aubry, getting rid of threats is one thing... but getting to the end is entirely different. At this point in the game, have you secured a final 3?

"Secured" is not a word that is at all applicable to any aspect of this stage of the game, lol. Everything is fluid. I have people I trust and that I've made promises to, however.

[Jeff Probst]

- Mon May 15, 2017 9:11:28 pm #4670 Natalie, we've talked for a long time about goat status. You stated that you were playing the game hard and a few people came to your defense. Do you think that you have proven that you are a threat to win, or as you have mentioned in the past, are you happy letting people think you will 100% lose and getting taken to the end?

[Steve]

- Mon May 15, 2017 9:11:40 pm #4671 So as per LJ's labels there, the only way that and of those 3 at the bottom win, is if they're sitting beside the other two?

Correct.

I haven't been confident in this game since that first tribe swap, man.

I think the "threats" at this point are Andrea, Aubry, and Steve and Me, Tai, and Natalie are the "non-threats."

But like I've said before, those labels only matter if you actually make it to the end.

So, I'll ask Steve... if You, Aubry and Andrea are perceived as the threats to win, why hand the game to the other three?

Jeff I have a game plan, a game plan that has not changed since the merge. I'm sticking to that plan. I don't think I am a goat. I think I have a strong enough case to beat every single person left in this game

[Tai]

- Mon May 15, 2017 9:14:09 pm #4676 I am not confident at all.. BUT if I somehow manage to make it past this round, I think it will bright and sunny on the other side.

So really, after tonight, you are golden is what you are saying? Is that becuase the votes will be 3-2?

- Mon May 15, 2017 9:15:59 pm #4681 I'm in awe that this vote is so blatant and yet, there are 3 people with 3 equal votes that aren't doing anything about it.
