Day 9

- The second I saw the challenge, I realized that this was just about the only challenge that Zuma could lose. So I realized that if Tambo, Rolih and Mpilo worked together to coordinate their submissions so that they didn't overlap, basically forcing Zuma to hopefully lose. I suggested working together to keep ourselves safe to Jhet, who suggested it to Mpilo, who ended up agreeing. I got Hunter from Rolih, then made a giant 14 (o_o) person chat to discuss it. Rolih took the 4 worst boots, Mpilo skipped one and took the next 4 boots, then Tambo skips one and takes the rest. We ended up skipping around a bit to make sure that we didn't lose really badly if Zuma had the same people as us.

I'm not sure whether or not this is going to work, but if it does, Zuma will finally lose and we'll get to see a peek into the way their tribe works. I'm just hoping really badly that it works, because I sure as hell don't want to go to tribal again!

Now to see if everyone is trustworthy and whether or not Zuma will find out. It's a gamble, but at least the odds are slightly tilted in our favor. Either that or my tribe is a sinking ship, ready to die.

- So Tambo, Mplio and Rolih are aligning themselves for this challenge? Sounds fine to me because i haven’t had to do any work and had the chance to sit back and watch something happen around me. when Zuma loses they won’t be pissed at me because i wasn’t the person dictating everything. There is always the possibility we lose but even if we do the true colours of a few people have been shown.

- I think Andrei is a vampire. Seriously, he's up all night and goes to bed at morning. Like, it'll be 8am his time and he's all, 'night guys'. What could this mean???

Anyway, my decision to keep Andrei over Kevin has been validated. Keeping Andrei on my side kept Ash on my side. And having Ash on my side is opening up bright and exciting new opportunities. She talks to people from other tribes and so whenever a tribe shake-up comes along, Ash is the most likely Tambo to be able to organise alliances with new people. And if I'm her ally I'm hoping to benefit from that. She could of course just look out for herself and cut all ties with me but I don't think she'd do that. She's including me in her future plans so I don't think she'll cut and run. Ash hooked me up with an alliance with Michael so that's nice. And I think Ash and I can draw in Hunter, Henry and Gerard. Hopefully it will just snowball from there seeming Michael should be bringing in his allies. Plus I've been keeping in contact with Sole so that's another who would most likely work with me. Watch me end up on a tribe with like Zac, Jhet and other people I have no connection to...

By the way, it's so weird not having to go to Tribal. Like, I didn't know what to do. There was this lovely period where we didn't have to worry about challenges or Tribal or what was going to happen. And I think it could happen again!! Operation Raging Lewis has just been initiated. Ash and I came up with the exact same plan and it's so fiendishly delicious. Again, Ash's connections pay off. We've coordinated our choices with Mpilo and Rolih so that none of us will overlap. Then we just sit back and hope Zuma buries itself. I would absolutely love Zuma to go to Tribal Council even though they'd probably just vote out Lloyd. The only way Zuma doesn't lose is if there's some sneaky bitch on Mpilo or Rolih who rats out the plan. If that happens I will destroy all that they know and love but I took the precaution of altering our choices so fingers crossed.

- The plan worked, Zuma is going to tribal and I'll have one less winner to be afraid of. Joy to the world, 5 winners remain. I am so ecstatic. It's a bit obvious that it didn't all go according to plan, but I was talking to Mike and he only said that he saw the idea mentioned in chat, but he wouldn't tell me anything else. Hickman got it right, we did team up against Zuma. It's only fair that they lose a challenge like the rest of us. Now to see if we can beat them in other challenges, too. I wonder if a tribe switch is coming... that would be nice. I don't trust Taylor anymore, and I like Ben and Andrei. Ugh. Fun shit, eh?
