Before Chris and "Cassie" were disqualified - we thought we have the majority at least that time (with all Popoki + "Cassie", and supposedly Tommy too after he said he was with us before the Merge if Zachary wasn't really with us) so it would've been a little smoother. After that controversy though, it threw the plan a little more complicated - from seemingly 7 strong, it turned to just the 4 of us (Sam, Zion, Gerda and Alex), 4 of them (Yaniv, Summer, Gerard and Sole - Gerard being in the fact that they say that he was with Manu) and 4 being wildcards (Zachary, Kaitlyn, DB and Tommy). With effort from the people in the alliance, we found out Kaitlyn was with us and tried to get DB on our side also. At first a split-vote was thought about, but it is safe to try allegiances by making it a block vote (if they were with us, we would have enough - if not, then we are doomed anyway). Due to fear of having two idols played and negate all votes, there needs to be throwaways just in case by throwing them to Yaniv.

The result was Zachary WAS with Manu (which really made me wonder, especially that Manu block is as threatening as the Popoki block but is less trustworthy IMO based on their past TC performances, so was thinking why would he side with them), Kaitlyn was really with us (being Sam's sock made all sense on it), DB was also at first (I don't know why he stuck with Manu after that, but I guess he would've felt to be the only Manu there - although I thought at first he had an alliance with Kaitlyn (a Redemptionist) and Sam (who was the first to tell that the two Redemptionists were with us - makes sense too if Sam felt that he was #4 in the core Popoki and make his own sub-alliance)) and that Zachary was with Manu.

That was a crazy tribal with 5 names said, two supposed highest votes against negated, and the next threatening Manu being voted out. About Zachary, let's just say I told him that based on what I heard in my cross-tribal thing with Alex, I let him know that he was on the bottom of Popoki, and it would be best for him to jump ship. I knew it (based on how I read your confessional) - so Alex did tell you about the core alliance? That said, I think he was going to jump from a bottom to another bottom, which IMO is more solid due to being low in numbers compared to Popoki (I mean he could've been a swing vote at Final 5, as we have a sub-alliance with Gerda and me unlike in Manu which was from what I know is 3 strong during the Merge). I could understand if someone not from Popoki went with Manu, though.
