Pick And Kill/Confessionals

These were the confessionals made within this episode.

Day 16
"dendera"

- I am safe. Truly a blessing for Byron.

"dendera"

- I did NOT expect a tribe swap at 12 when for all assumptions we’re merging very soon. But no matter, I have the clear majority (amazing feeling not being swap fucked). Julia is in a terrible spot but I’d like to keep her around if possible, especially now that her perceived duo in Benji is gone. I feel better with her than Morena, and Byron’s just a huge wildcard. So Marc Will and I can run the tribe and hopefully keep things in good positioning till merge

"sesibi"

- So Benji is gone!!!! Byron panicked and fairly so, he thought he couldn't trust Jared and to be honest, I wasn't completely sold either. Thank goodness this idol is still in my pocket because I want it for myself later down the track and it would have sucked if I had to burn it straight after getting it. Jared proved his loyalty, he sent Benji home, and this is a really good thing for me. He has proven his loyalty to me and that's exactly what I need.

However, I'm gonna need to test that loyalty and make sure it's genuine. With this tribe swap, if old allegiances prove strongest like they have in Sesibi at least, I am on the bottom. I'm the only remaining castaway to have not swapped tribes, and everyone else now on Sesibi is original Dendera, which worries me a bit.

What this means now is that the idol is more valuable than ever, and Jared's loyalty is my key to moving forward. We know AJ is a snake and with his precious Benji gone, I hope this wake-up call shows him to never underestimate anyone again. I'm kinda glad to be with Nicole again but from what I've heard, she's a power player and that's dangerous territory. However, Jared, Nicole, Aleks and I are now in a bit of an alliance, apparently to get Medha out for being annoying? Not sure if I'm fully on board with it and it may well conspire that the other five have a chat waiting to get rid of me as well. These are the waters I have to test to see where I stand. Aleks was one of Benji's minions as well so I'm not sure how the snake will operate without a head.

"dendera"

- Reflecting on the premerge thus far (which should be ending after next tribal), I've done a really good job. I needed to establish bonds with people that will carry me through the early merge, and I think I've done pretty well with that. I have links across original tribal lines and across swapped tribal lines. We're now even 6-6 with original tribal lines too which I didn't realize so that flip on Sesbi 2.0 was HUGE for us. Now I have tons of angles to be protected in merge, and Will and I should be able to glide to the end game. He's really the one I wanna stick with at this point, I love Nicole but she's a gamer man. Gotta watch out for her later

Day 17
"dendera"

- The game right now for me is pick and kill. I can calmly choose who to vote off and off they go. Honestly, right now, Spence and Jared are disposable. If either of them get voted off I won't mind as long as I still have the numbers. If things get heavy? That's when Jack and Morena will come in for me. Morena can be a free extra vote, just gotta be quick and be the early bird.

"dendera"

- Well in today's totally not surprising news, I'm throwing my game away for a girl. Nah but actually Julia's killing me with the guilt trip social game blah blah and I'm just thinking damn girl, work this shit on someone else I'm in your corner. GOD I hope we won immunity I really, really do not want to vote her out. Byron and Morena would be SO much more preferable but Will has no interest in rocking the boat, which is annoying because it's totally valid but I want to make a move here that could really help my game down the line.

"dendera"

- Lmfao I'm really out here making the effort huh. Julia gave me just enough to open a window for a Byron blindside and obviously I'm here for it because I've been wary of the dude since the beginning. Only problem is we need 4 votes, NONE of which will come easy. Flipping Morena is apparently possible since she doesn't like Byron? Maybe? Idk, but working Marc/Will won't be a piece of cake. And I don't really have the time to fully commit to this so honestly I'm kinda just praying for immunity. God I hate this fucking eclipse

"dendera"

- Well, the focus has now shifted towards Morena, but Will once again refuses to budge. Which is like, fine whatever, I just hate letting people who are wishy washy and sus make it far enough where they can be a pain in my ass. I really don’t wanna come off the wrong way on this so I kind of have to appease Will here even if it means letting Julia go

"dendera"

- First jury member on the list. Everything changes now.
