Claw My Way Out/Confessionals

Day 28
"thanonchai"

- Jenna is gone, Priscilla is isolated, Jake feels safe, Rhi is Rhi, and I will begin to make moves now WELCOME TO HELL

"thanonchai"

- So Jake wants to leverage an alliance to kill Jace/Julia/Maya but I'm not letting that happen. Since my vote is needed now, my target should in theory be diminished but you can never be too safe.

"thanonchai"

- So Jenna is finally gone, and now as the dust settles I am trying to put together a new alliance. I want to form a Phalap + Priscilla group so that way we pick a side, vote whoever out, then we are the majority at the final 7. Apparently Maya told Julia about having second thoughts about going far with me in this game as she feels she could beat Rhi/Pris but not anyone else. That's concerning, but Julia said she tried to calm her down and think it worked. Clifford is back to his old tactics of siphoning information and saying "but don't say anything" so I can't get a move going using that information. Alas, I will make it work. Jake is trying to get me to betray Yannick and Clifford using the excuse that Pris and Rhi are pregame friends with Yannick and will stick together. Hopefully Priscilla decides that I have treated her better than either of them have this game, regardless of being friends beforehand.

"thanonchai"

- So last night literally as I was trying to get to bed I got some crackheaded idea that ideally could work really well. It would take place at the final 7. So Maya told me that Clifford said he would love to go to FTC with me as a challenge (kinda dumb, I know). So me and Maya said we want to use him as much as we can to get to the end. Now what needs to happen at this vote is Jake loses immunity, I am able to convince Priscilla that we need to take out Jake before Clifford, and Jake is gone. Then at the final 7, I go to Clifford and tell him about the potentially friendship of Rhi, Yannick, and Pris that could end up fucking us up if they get together and lie to us saying we are still working together. Then I convince him we need to take out Rhi because she has the best shot to win out of all of us with the most friends on the jury. Me, Maya, Julia, and Clifford vote for Rhi, and Rhi goes hopefully with no stupid advantages being played against my favor. The thing is, since my target is so huge and temple items are still a mystery, I could easily be completely wiped out at any vote. This would need to go perfectly.

Day 29
"thanonchai"

- WELP, that was literally the WORST POSSIBLE CASE SCENARIO for that reward. Now Jake has 3 fucking idol clues, and has his pic to take likely Rhi to the Temple to increase their odds at getting an advantage in this game. I'm so aggravated. Now this is going to make my plan even HARDER to accomplish.

"thanonchai"

- It's unfortunate because Jake is more than likely going to win this immunity. Not only does that leave me vulnerable and LIKELY the next person out, but that also completely halts my plan. If Rhi/Jake have an immunity, EVERYONE would be afraid to throw votes onto the other of that pair, ESPECIALLY with these goddamn clues in the mix. Jake stays up all night as it is, and if immunity is on the line, bitch, he's gonna pull an all nighter. KNOW. THAT. Well I'm gonna be staying up as late as I can too because as long as I can steal points away from him, I'm good.

"thanonchai"

- Something that may make things even worse is that I think Jake won the ability to guess for the idol more often at SOME POINT in his temple visits. I know that Julez had (or claimed to have had) a punishment where she could only guess every 24 hours I think. Is it not safe to assume that there would be an advantage of guessing every 6 hours? I think people are looking at the advantages in the wrong way. They aren't all artifacts and idols, they are small little things that could help you out with nobody even knowing it. Guessing more times, an extra clue, maybe even being able to guess two episodes every 12 hours, I don't know. The possibilities are endless, but if Jake can guess more times than me AND has three clues, the idol is bound to be in his pocket in DUE TIME.

"thanonchai"

- im annoyed at every single aspect of this game. the only person i can count on is rhi and even i think she would cut me at the end god.

right now the dynamics are like jace/maya/julia as a trio, me/rhi as a duo, cliff/yannick as a duo, and pris is i guess perceived grouped with me and rhi.

it sucks bc its final 8 and we have the unholy jace and his sheep alliance that im fucking Warning clifford if they get to final 7 they can just use a vote stealer and they’re home free.

clifford is protecting jace so i have to keep that in the back of my mind at all times. i really hope i get something at this temple or find an idol because i really am going to need it. i want to beast the fuck out in immunities but im scared that’ll put an even bigger target on my back god. like i wanna save my challenge ability for final 6 onward but god… am i gonna be okay until final 6? i think this vote one of julia/maya are going to leave if cliff and yannick are smart.

after that i can see a gang up either on me or priscilla and im worried bc yannick is friends with priscilla… AND rhi.. so obviously he would want me gone. god im hoping next round jace wants to take out cliff’s right hand man bc im sick of it, yeah. yannick walked into this game will all these friendships and clifford telling him what to do every round and it’s about to get him to ftc

i really don’t know what to do bc jace is a huge immunity threat that i need out, yannick is a huge social threat that i need out, and cliff is a huge strategic threat that i need out. but i can’t just let these UTR players get to the end and gang up against me. this game is all about calculating your moves. i think getting out julia or maya this round is truly best for me because they aren’t on my side and can very easily be taken to the end by others who think they can beat them. tbh i’d vote for julia bc i think she’s playing the best game but that’s just me!

i want maya out preferably bc i think i could have some connection with julia i could rekindle and build… i feel like we get along socially well and i need to use that. whew this is gonna be a tough end game.

"thanonchai"

- I'm literally fucking SCREAMING. I cannot believe I found the idol again. I thought for sure that episode was too basic to be the correct answer, but thank you Mr. Jake for telling me the first merge idol was related to rats too. Now I know that Jake and Rhi do NOT have the merge idol, and after last vote where Jake thought he was 100%, he CAN'T have the fucking Phaluai idol either. Now a predicament arrises because I told Maya and Julia that I would let them know when I found it. For now, I'm gonna keep my mouth shut, but if I feel like I am in danger at any point, I will let them know I found it so they aren't blindsided when I end up playing it. I'm still gonna try to win immunity because I still have no idea if I am gonna go home this vote are not, and I don't feel like wasting my idol at the final 8 if I don't need to. HALLELUJAH!!!!!!

"thanonchai"

- highkey rooting for jace in this immunity challenge like theres no way he can leave this round anyway so YAASSSS boo make yourself an even bigger threat i love it

"thanonchai"

- And look, right on cue. There's Jake in the middle of the night coming online to rack up points while I'm/other people are asleep. TRIED THAT ONE. Luckily my lead is so massive that I should be safe to go to bed, and once I wake up I'll be able to increase my lead before my dentist appointment so I can win my second immunity in a row.

"thanonchai"

- Well, Jenna went out last tribal which really sucks for my game because I literally can't trust anyone at this point. My plan in making her stick her neck out more and seem more threatening seemed to have worked in my favor because everyone else's reasoning for voting Jenna (at least from what they told me) was that she spread ideas that I thought as well. I'll keep that a secret from them though. 😉

Going into this tribal, I really wanted to take out Jace and trust me I tried during that immunity challenge really hard but he was just way too fast. If we don't stop him soon he's going to go on an immunity run and everyone already knows he would win against anyone and any combination in a final tribal scenario. Jace invited me to a group with him, Maya, and Julia. I like being picked up and brought into an alliance, but I don't like that I'd have to do Jace's dirty work if I stayed loyal to it. Maya really wanted to work with me apparently and asked Julia for a girls alliance or whatever. Apparently Julia agreed to it but I don't necessarily trust her as much as I want to anymore, especially after everything that has happened since the merge. Rhi doesn't message me anymore unless I message her like she used to which kind of sucks but I deserve it for turning my back on her again and again. Honestly, it's getting kind of boring how the only one who talks to me on a regular basis is Jace and Maya. I already know he deserves to win but like, he DESERVES to win if you held a final tribal council right now. Don't get me wrong, I'll still try to vote him out the moment he's not immune, I just should reiterate that Jace has been playing a really good social game pretty much the entirety of the season. Also I should mention that Jake said he wasn't really mad about me voting for him last round because he can't afford to be mad at me seeing as how he needed my vote. I mean, hopefully he's not just biting his tongue considering how he reacted to me flipping the laaaaast time.

"thanonchai"

- Ah immunity, my old friend, it is so nice to see you again. This vote is definitely a good one to be immune at because it's probably going to be Temple-ggedon. I really need to make sure Pris is locked in and is okay with voting Jake because I can't lose Clifford just yet. Even though Clifford's paranoia is driving me nuts, he is essential for my game at this point. Hopefully this can just be a simple split vote because I am soooo tired of Jake being in this game. I do like him a lot on a personal level, but he is such a hindrance and a nuisance to me gameplay wise. A little shit stirrer. Hopefully the game can run smoothly once he is out.

"thanonchai"

- Fucking Clifford "You have the idol right?" Mother fucker................. I SWEAR IF THE BITCH TANKS MY GAME FROM THIS.... OMG.

"thanonchai"

- "It would be best to let the alliance know" GIRL BYEEEE DO YOU THINK I CARE ABOUT THE ALLIANCE HAVING PEACE OF MIND? NNNNNOPE. YOU ARE THE ONLY ONE BUGGING OUT. I'M NOT TELLING 5 PEOPLE I HAVE THE IDOL JSNGKJRNGJKNREGJ

"thanonchai"

- I tried to lie and say that I am confident about this vote because I know I am safe, but knowing Clifford, I doubt it worked. Whatever, though, my gameplan was to keep winning immunities, and it still is. If Clifford decides to spread around that I have an idol with 0 confirmation, good for him.

"thanonchai"

- There are several routes to go here but the most likely option is to force all advantages to come out by Final 6 and kill off the threats so I can coast by underneath the shield of a bigger perceived threat to win the game. Translated to English? Jake/Jace/Rhi go, Clifford is the buffer, and Maya/Priscilla/Julia are BAIT.

"thanonchai"

- The Thanonchai idol was found again and Jake gave up the correct guess but it doesn't seem like he found it if he's acting this desperate. So someone on my side found it and is keeping it secret...Time to flush it and end this game.

"thanonchai"

- LMFAO FUCK YOU CLIFFORD. After we had our chat where he said he wouldn't say anything (yes I still did lie about having it) now Clifford is going out to Julia and probably more people saying that I have it and why he thinks this. Fucking bitch, can you please keep my business out of your mouth? My god, I'm already target number one, can you STOP TANKING MY DAMN GAME??? I had to come clean to Julia, and probably will have to tell Maya soon. This is fucking stupid, I really can't stand him anymore. He is lucky that Jake is the main target. Clifford will be gone next time, KNOW THAT.

"thanonchai"

- CLIFFORD. THERE ISN'T ANYTHING TO "FIGURE OUT." IT IS A SPLIT VOTE. THE POINT OF A SPLIT VOTE IS TO ACCOUNT FOR AN IDOL. SURE, AN IDOL MAY BE PLAYED, BUT IT WON'T BE BECAUSE I HAVE THE MERGE IDOL AND I DOUBT JAKE HAS PHALUAI'S BECAUSE IF HE DID, IT WOULD'VE BEEN PLAYED LAST VOTE.

"thanonchai"

- I decided to tell Maya that I do have the idol. I figured Clifford was going to go to her anyway so there was no harm in me telling her and making her trust me more. She told me that Rhi already assumed I had it because she discovered the idol location. Interesting to know, I guess everyone just fucking knows right now sooooo WHATEVER!!!!

"thanonchai"

- Jake bye, you are coming here being like "Do you actually wanna talk about the vote this time?" As if I don't know you are literally trying to target all of my allies LMFAOOOOOOOOOO. I will entertain you for now, but at the end of the day I am writing your name down, Phaluai idol or not.

"thanonchai"

- So Jace and pretty much everyone in that alliance are telling me that Jake is throwing my name out as a vote. This is what I use as my excuse to make my goat talk to the tribe chat. It hopefully lowers my target and makes me not a priority to vote out any time soon, giving me more time and leeway to be able to form groups and pull off moves. Whether or not my name is actually being thrown out by Jake is debatable. While I wouldn't put it past him, his reasoning he gave me of wanting to conceal that I was working with him also makes sense. That being saaaaid, he also still put out my name and possibly put me in danger.

Rhi, Julia, Maya, and I have this girls alliance formed but I'm sure that Julia and Maya don't think they can trust Rhi with Jake still in the game.

Jace wants to do a split plan on Rhi and Jake, with it being a tie. I can't trust them to take out Jake though. I'd rather have Jake leave than Rhi. With all that being said, I made a move that can either work in my favor, or horribly backfire on me. I told the entire plan to Rhi but worded it like she was in danger and had to vote for Jake, which isn't far from the truth. Doing this ensures not only that Jake goes but also that Rhi knows I tried to save her and will hopefully work with us in the girls alliance, where we'll have the majority in F7. I'm banking on the others buying that Rhi figured that a Jake vote is obvious. I could be in the dark again honestly, but I'm not going to helplessly walk around in the dark and being lead to the slaughter again. I'm going to claw my way out of the dark with all I've got.

If everything goes as planned, my target is definitely Jace. He's going to go on an immunity run if we don't stop him. I'm just worried he has an immunity idol though and that can put a wrench in things. If things go all to plan, I'm also banking on Jake not having any ill will towards me since Rhi would have voted for him as well.

"thanonchai"

- I think I successfully was able to lock down Priscilla and finally make her feel a part of the fold without just being a number. I am happy about that, especially since Jake decided to go after the goddamn swingvote he needed LMFAOOOO.

"thanonchai"

- Jake is like ""You are just waiting around to be taken out instead of making a move."" Sweetie.... Do you not realize that I am in a final three deal, and have strong bonds to Yannick, Clifford, and Priscilla where if I needed to make a move against any of them I most likely could. Be bitter to someone else, I know you are just talking shit about my game so I react and expose what I am thinking to turn people against me. Nice try.

Priscilla just told me that Jake said to her ""I hope you are getting a vote tonight because you will be safe."" Miss me with that lame ass Reset Idol bullshit.

"thanonchai"

- Clifford wants to take the fall for me if the reset idol is real, so looks like I'm going solo in this game. It's now or never, I either thrive or I get shanked.

"thanonchai"

- Clifford falling on the sword for us? HERE FOR IT!

"thanonchai"

- Fuck Jake LMFAOOOOO. At least Julia listened to me and voted Maya to keep her safe. I realllllllllllyyyy don't want to vote out Priscilla right now, but I KNOW that if I go to Jake and say "I want Clifford out, let's vote Clifford" he will run right to Clifford, tell him this, and then vote out Priscilla. I have to vote her out even though she is one of my favorite people in this game. I feel terrible doing this, and hopefully it doesn't ruin my game, but I think it is what is necessary right now.

"thanonchai"

- This game smh. So Priscilla told me that Yannick and Clifford are turning against me next vote. The worst part is she said it came from YANNICK which is fucking alarming. I know I'm screwed in this game, more so than ever now that they are turning on me. Of course Julia already voted so the only way I can get Cliff out is to have Jake and Rhi flip to me, but if they are literally trying to put together an alliance to UNDERMINE ME AND MY ALLIANCE, I think it's over. I'm gonna need immunities more than ever moving forward now.

"thanonchai"

- I'm such a mess this vote kjsngjkangjkenrjgkerg. I decided to confront Yannick about the accusations that Priscilla said about him. He firmly denies it, and told Clifford about it who came to me and also firmly denied it. Like obviously they could just be lying to me to cover their own ass, but still the thing is that Clifford did literally over to be voted out if Priscilla was immune at this vote. Why would he say that and then immediately flip to Jake and Rhi? I need more time to just mentally figure this shit out. I'm leaning more towards voting out Priscilla, but I don't know.

"thanonchai"

- Okay, so Priscilla wants to try to force rocks between herself and Julia, so that way Clifford and Yannick are both in trouble and the entire Plastics alliance stays strong. The main issue with this plan is getting Rhi or Jake to flip and TRUSTING THEM to stay true to it. Like I guess either way I am losing an ally, but I would hate to throw votes on Julia and be the reason why she went home. I'm still so pissed about this stupid ass reset idol.

"thanonchai"

- So, things aren't looking to great for my survival in this game. Yannick, Julia, and Clifford have already locked in votes for me. Yannick and Jace themselves went up to me and said that I was probably getting voted out. But, there's still 5 votes left and I'll be damned if I give up now after coming so far. Maya and Jace have expressed interest in keeping me in so that helps a lot in my case. They would be willing to vote for anyone if I had the votes and kept Julia safe. Here's the thing though, since it's a revote, it would go to rocks. If Jace, Maya, and I manage to grab one more vote, then Julia would be safe and one of Clifford and Yannick would be going out. Jake is CONVINCED that Yannick and Clifford are with him despite never having voted with him for the most part. I'm pretty sure Jake is going to throw me under the gutter this vote because of this supposed deal that he's believed in for so many rounds now. He's gotten betrayed a lot by them I don't understand why he still thinks they're good for that deal. I'm hoping I can grab Rhi when she gets on. I technically tried to save her, although I don't know if she knew about the reset idol or not. The good thing about life is that it's never over until it's over. And luckily for me, it's not over yet. And I still have a few options I can try. I know I should be looking to the future for if I survive this vote but right now I'm preoccupied with trying to survive. I really gave no shits to my bonds right now because of it. Yannick told me about that plan probably to ease me or whatever, but I used that shit in Jace's face because if there's a way to stay, I'm going to use it.

"thanonchai"

- I think it's hopeless to try to get Rhi or Jake to flip. There is no way they would flip to force a rock draw between Yannick and Clifford if: 1. They believe they are going to work together moving forward. 2. Forcing rocks would just help the Phalap threesome that Jake has been so vocal about trying to take out. Unfortunately, though I love her, I think it is going to have to be Priscilla this time. Hopefully Yannick and Clifford are being truthful to me about sticking with this group. The would be dumb to betray me because Rhi and Jake HANDS DOWN beat anyone left, MAYBE except me but that's not even for certain. I also think Clifford believes Jake has the idol now, unless he is just saying that to make me think he doesn't believe I have it. Like sure, I have a 3 person alliance, but he doesn't know how deep Julia's loyalties to me lie, and could easily ATTEMPT to flip her if we get down to the final 5 of the 10/10 group. If they flip and decide to Pagong the Plastics/Phalap, I highkey doubt Yannick or Clifford would be able to win a fire making challenge against Rhi or Jake.

"thanonchai"

- I STAND CORRECTED. JAKE JUST CAME TO ME AND WAS LIKE LET'S MAKE A MOVE. THIS IS GOING TO BE SOOOO ICONIC IF JAKE IS BEING TRUTHFUL AND WANTS TO FORCE A ROCK DRAW BETWEEN YANNICK AND CLIFFORD. I mean, it's really his funeral if he wants to allow me and my group of 4 to continue in this game, BUT HEY, IF THIS WORKS OUT IT'S GREAT FOR ME!!! Of course, I am expecting to receive a message tomorrow from Clifford ""Jake told me that you want to force a rock draw between Yannick and I."" I'M JUST GONNA PRAY JAKE KEEPS HIS MOUTH SHUT FOR ONCE.

"thanonchai"

- Jake is claiming that he and Rhi are down to vote for Julia to force rocks, but I'm still skeptical. If i was in there position I would tell Cliff and Yannick I was doing this, and then turn around and vote for Pris, then go to Julia and convince her that I was trying to screw her over. This would destroy all my life lines and put them in a good spot. But Jake seems to want to make the iconic move of forcing rocks between Cliff and Yannick. We shall see.

"thanonchai"

- Did I really stay up until 6 a.m. to make sure Rhi knew where to vote for the plan to work? YES

Will the plan actually work out because of how fishy Jace is? WE'LL SEE

"thanonchai"

- everyone knows i don’t like taking this shit too seriously. but i honestly feel so uneasy… about… my relationship with clifford. so ever since the nathan vote, i’ve felt good with clifford. i feel like our secret alliance or whatever was very beneficial for both of us and i was completely loyal to him. i haven’t been returned the favor. yeah has he saved me in the past from being the vote? sure. jenna left over me. i don’t deny that. but he just would have let me leave this game with NO remorse if i hadn’t played my reset idol.

he would have let me get VOTED OUT after he PREACHES loyalty to me every single day. saying our only deal was to keep each other safe. i’ve kept up my end of that bargain and you just let that go. you were about to let me get voted out after you completely abused our relationship, manipulated me on a constant basis, and treated me like i was your fucking lab rat you were experimenting on. i’m not a fool and i don’t get manipulated that easily. you may have manipulated me in the past, but i’m done now clifford.

your game has been great but i’ve honestly had enough of it. i cannot believe how well you can take our relationship and twist it into it being MY fault. oh it’s always MY fault or SOMEONE ELSE’S fault that cliff’s game isn’t going exactly how he wants it.

AND YOU HAVE THE FUCKING AUDACITY, you AND yannick, to come to me after you just TRIED TO VOTE ME OUT, to say “oh that final 4? thats such a good idea omg!”.

go fuck yourself. that’s just so insulting on so many levels. you need me and rhi when you’re the ones in danger now? oh now you’re sad bc little miss jace wants one of you out? awe that sucks huh? being in that position? i have no fucking sympathy. i’ve been in that position this entire game and you have SHIT on that. you’ve shit on me. and i’m taking a shit right on back.

oh clifford fucking myers ive been waiting for this day for a long time. i’m giving you 50/50 shot with that rock. oh i pray to god you pick the right one. bye bitch.

"thanonchai"

- LMFAOOOOOOOOOO
