Hello Untrustworthy Person/Confessionals

Day 21
"pesante"

- Chris left without a hitch, and at least superficially Izzy isn't angry. It all seemed too easy... and then it unfolded flawlessly. I think I've been too heavy handed in the past few votes though. I need to step back, I feel like I'm probably getting side eyed by Trey and Jerry in particular. If we go to tribal next vote, Trey is my ideal blindside target. Jordan and Juliet will be on board, I'm just a bit unsure of New York Jerry

"pesante"

- I’ve been wanting Christian out for so long. Apparently he wanted me out too. I’m in a good position right now. I’ve got the guys and Juliet on my side. We’re halfway through the game and 13 are left. I’m excited for the eventual merge because I expect it to be chaotic.

"pesante"

- somehow i'm still here and its really just super surprising. i've been putting my heart and soul in this game and i'm glad it's paying off. izzy still hates me but i will make sure that she goes as soon as possible.

"pesante"

- Not thrilled with the vote for obvious reasons. Everyone has assured me that it wasn't an act against me and they were just uncomfortable with Christian. But obviously I don't feel safe with Juliet on the tribe. That ship has long sailed. Do they trust her more than they trust me? Well, hopefully if they vote me out, it won't be until the tribal that I have my Destiny Key set on.

Day 21
"vicino"

- As we await the results, I have been tossing numbers in my head and I realize that all of my numbers are on my tribe so I need to make sure we never lose before merge

"vicino"

- Some people here are just really annoying. Like idk everytime some of them talk I just want them to shut up.

"pesante"

- So I am in a very interesting position on my tribe. I feel like I'm pretty much chill with everyone and I'm hearing all kinda of plans from people. Trey wants to keep Izzy which is chill. Freaking Elias wants to blindside Trey. Izzy and Juliet want to take out each other. So everyone is telling me these plans and I can pick and choose what I want to do. Me and Jordan, I think are playing very similar games. Both really social and charming guys and we just are able to get info about everything. My alliance with him and Elias is solid but Elias needs to calm down. I don't think blindsiding Trey right now is the correct move cause one of the girls would flip to take out the other in a heartbeat and we are gonna be screwed come merge. I need to see which girl is the right one to vote off. I said Juliet last round but I'm not so sure anymore. Juliet is just kinda hanging out and not saying much of any context while Izzy is running information around like crazy so its really hard to make the right decision on who will be loyal to me if we merge soon. :P

"vicino"

- Holy shit we're more than halfway in terms of day count. Honestly... This is crazy.

OK, so have I made a confessional since the swap? Idts. So the swap was almost the best case scenario for me. I would've liked to have Juliet, Jordan, and/or Trey over here, but I can't have it all. Having Izzy would've been nice too. It would've minimized her damage. But having Jason and Aaron here is amazing. I see Aaron as a little lapdog in that he doesn't really seem to do anything. Jason is very loyal to me, I know about his idol, he knows about mine. We have this mutual bond that I think is stronger than most of the bonds in this game right now, so that's my core three.

Out of the new people, in the order of how much I've talked to them: - Nat: I get along really well with her, but she seems like a very good social player. I'm assuming she has ties all over the place, and that's a big concern of mine. I managed to explain the Izzy situation to her and she understood, so that's good. - Harrison: I like him a lot! We're both seniors in high school so we're both in similar scenarios, and generally he seems like a nice guy. I actually would say I trust him the most out of the four new people. - Declan: We like kinda talk but there's always gaps of multiple hours in between each of our messages. Idk, it's weird. I guess I get along with him and we share similar interests? but I don't see myself working with him in any capacity. - Ashley: Hello untrustworthy person who spent most of his auction money on covered items! I'm glad we've gotten to know each other! *NOT* Legit we've exchanged seven (7) messages since the swap, he's left me on read, and HE SPENT ALL HIS MONEY ON COVERED ITEMS. If we lose I'm gonna try to put votes on him because he just does not strike me as someone you want to trust in any capacity. Do I doubt that two of the items were shit? No. But the item that was just "nothing" strikes me as a little (VERY) sketch. Does not ring true for me. I mean, I have to talk to some of the others about it, but I doubt it.

Overall, I feel that I'm in a very good spot right now. I'm actually very much looking forward to the merge and hooking back up with Trey, Jordan, and Juliet. Heck, I even miss Jerry-bot. We'll see how things go, though. Oh also Nat and Declan have never attended tribal??? I kinda despise them for that lol. I really hope jury starts next round. I've never been on a jury -- I've made f3 and gone pre merge twice -- and in a weird way I kinda wanna see what chilling at Ponderosa is like. Obviously I'm not looking to squander my opportunity, but jury was the goal. Pre-jury would've crushed me, so hopefully it's jury now. I'm not nervous about my spot in the game, but again, I have been swapfucked in the past, and I wouldn't be surprised to see it happen again.

"pesante"

- ok so i've been very vulnerable this whole game, it's my 6th tribal council and i just feel really scared right now. i'm trying my hardest to show that i'm the one they need to keep, not izzy. i'm pulling out EVERYTHING i can to give myself the upperhand. i'm throwing her under the bus, and i want to win this game. if i make the merge, i can potentially be in a great position.

"pesante"

- So I don't know what is going to happen in this vote. It appears to be between the two girls, and it is more than likely going to be Juliet due to the number of friends that she has on the other tribe. Izzy literally has nowhere to go at a merge other than stick with us.

However, Eli is acting a bit odd. He randomly told me that the tide is turning against Izzy, so I go to Jerry and ask about it. My first thought was oh shit I'm out of the loop. However, Jerry told me Eli just did the same thing to him. The tide has not turned against Izzy so I am currently trying to figure out why he did this. I'm hoping that I'm good to go. I think I am, but I never want to be comfortable in this game. Side not: I want to vote off Jordan, but I can't.

"pesante"

- So Elias has maybe cause Trey to become suspicious for no reason at all. And I am livid for my spot in the game. I'm gonna do some damage control on him and will have to be extra charming to get him back in my web. Elias fam, its my job to shake the box of bees and let hell break lose. Come on man, you're suppose to be smarter than that. Sloppy Sloppy Sloppy. My plan now is to snuggle up close to both of these gents because Elias has already expressed interest in voting out Trey and if Trey is suspicious of Elias then guess what? They are gunning for each other and not me. So I'm gonna low key do that and I have already started it. I feel like I starting to open up Pandora's box but I'm just gonna roll with it. Its for the best for my game to have everyone else have total trust in me.Cause I'm trustworthy, right?

"pesante"

- So we lost the picture posting challenge. I blame Nat on the other tribe, she's way too good at that stuff it seems. Just kidding she's probably super nice but hooolllyy shit they haven't even gone to tribal ONCE. How bored must they be getting? I would be.

This vote I did my Trey blindside pitch to Jerry. Trey would essentially be heading into the merge with an upper hand on everyone because he has connections with 95% of the cast, and would have the opportunity to not be 100% loyal to us. He's said he's bonded heavily with Nat, who I would ideally like to weaken as much as possible in a merge scenario. Jerry wouldn't bite though. Jordan is down, but "not now" - it could be too late down the line.

This vote started off primarily as a down the line Juliet vote, and Juliet was initially just blindly campaigning for Izzy fruitlessly. I eventually told her this:

"Im doing the best i can but you didnt find an idol did you? You might need it. i had to really push last vote to keep you in and it might not be enough this time 😕 just dont tell people that i specifically told you this Whoever youre closest to out of jerry and jordan, you could try and do an idol bluff, but be very subtle about it"

And it seems to have worked. I also subtly worked the angle that because Izzy was blindsided by the Chris vote, she'll always have that in the back of her mind and never be fully loyal -- Jerry and Jordan were discussing their worries about an idol in no time and badabing bada boom, we have an Izzy vote. Juliet my number 1 is saved.

I STILL tried to pitch to blindside Trey but both guys think it's too early. I don't think it is. I love the guy and he makes it hard for me to want to blindside him but I think it would be highly strategically beneficial to us and grant us more control at the merge. At this stage, we have a guy with alot more connections (e.g Nat, Jason) than us heading into the merge with more power than us. I'd also like to kill the witness re: my auction advantage.
