Oh Babe, That's A No No/Confessionals

Day 18
"samsao"

- So Julez and Taylor got nuked off out of this game. I'm very curious about the connections people have on those other tribes, and I really don't want to lose. Hopefully, we can win this comp and send Phalaui or Talap to the cleaners. Let's get it.

"samsao"

- myself and rhi discussed wishing we had thrown the last challenge to get out cliff or yannick and what do you know, we get a reprieve. we thought there would be a 13 person merge and thank god there isn't, now we can throw and get out one of the guys possibly. we just need maya's input

"talap"

- So I am still here, and so is my idol. I guess I have to really really thank Priscilla for making a good move this week and keeping me in the game. I think it's a test to my social game because she actively fought to keep me because she liked me more than she liked Taylor. This is what I meant by needing to focus on my social game and the rest will come naturally. I totally thought I was going home, but because of my bond with Priscilla, she put together a 4-1 vote in my favor. LOVE A LEGEND!!!!! I think it would be iconic if myself, Jake, and Pris formed a tight group because we are all from different original tribes asdjnajkenf. I'd be down with working with both.

"samsao"

- Taylor going is 100% my fault and I feel terrible for it. I put out the hit on Jace or Jake. I wanted Taylor to team with Sim and Pris but I think Sim snaked out of that one and blew it up in their face. Some information slithered to the wrong people and Taylor got iced. This puts me in a terrible position moving forward where if we get through this vote, I will have to purposely be the target at the merge boot so we can effectively dictate who goes home. It's going to be tough but if we can pull it off, Yannick and I will tie Jace and Jake and let the tribe splinter their loyalties. Should create a big enough rift for me to squeeze through. We'll see. My game is about to die and I'm about to rise from the dead.

"talap"

- YAAAAAAAAS I AINT GOING BACK TO DAMN TRIBAL. The bad thing about that is Sim is staying in this game and likely making the merge. That's basically like Eva has an infinite, unannounced double vote until Sim or Eva, herself, get voted out. The good thing is that Pris, Jake, and I formed The Stallionaires alliance which I think could be very powerful moving forward if we actually stick together. If we merge I think that the first course of action should be beginning to plot against Eva because she is a massive threat in this game. Extremely social, extremely strategic, and good at challenges on top of that. If she gets to the end, she wins, period. And the way the game is right now, she will be getting to the end. She has all of NuNuSamsao wrapped around her fingers (excluding probably Maya, who is wrapped around mine) + Sim, and even if her name were to be thrown out there, I am 100% sure it would find its way back to her. Yes Eva may only have a small solid alliance, but I know that a lot of people in this game will be protecting her if, for example, the vote is between like Jake and Eva. Hopefully my group and I are able to pull together some numbers and get a majority. I think that I may be able to rekindle the Phalap alliance of myself, Maya, Julia, and Chris, but after seeing them apparently work with Jenna, I am not too sure of how well that will work. If we merge next, which is likely, I really need to play it smart so I am not a blindsided merge boot once again.

"talap"

- Some late night game thoughts. So Jake told me during the last vote that Priscilla said that I was a threat and this and that, but said that it was what Taylor said. Then on his way out Taylor was like ""I was never targeting you, it was Pris and I was just going along with it."" So now I'm wondering if it is Priscilla putting it into people's heads that I am a big threat. Seems like once the merge hits, the target on my back is going to be much larger than I would like it to be.

Also, the good thing about that move is that Priscilla was probably trying to get me to flush my idol considering she was being so tight lipped and wishy washy with who she voted. Considering after all of that mess I STILL did not play my idol, people are probably really assuming that I do not have it which is definitely good for my game. Jake specifically said ""you should pull out your idol as a last hail mary."" I explicitly told him that I don't have an idol so rip that idea. I think that I should be good at the merge on the aspect of my idol. I am curious to see how my allegiances will turn out at the merge because I am aligned closely with Yannick still (well as far as I know) and his crew, but I do really want to get Eva out. It may be better for my game to ride the wave of Eva's alliance and then strike when the time is right. I can't hop into the merge spitting out names (unless I win immunity or something LMAO). In Greece I thought I was the swing vote and the decision maker and I went right out 6-2-2. I need to let someone else think they are making a big move right out of the gates as I fade into the shadows to let someone else be a threat on people's radars. Jake I know I can 100% trust which is funny because before I actually played with him I was very fearful of him and completely down with getting rid of him ASAP. Now he is the only person aside from Maya and POSSIBLY Yannick that have been totally truthful and upfront with me in this game. I know that at the merge I will have Maya and Jake as solid people, but aside from that it is up in the air. Jenna is still someone that is on my radar and I definitely see her as someone that will either head an alliance at the merge, or slither into possibly Eva's group as she believes she has no other options considering Nathan and Miguel were wiped out back to back. It seems she may has established herself with the NuNuPhaluai people which may be harmful to my game as Jenna and I were not on super great terms after my blunder at the combined tribal. I just hope that Julia and Chris are still open to working together. It is possible that we can get a NuNuTalap-NuNuPhaluai+Maya alliance against NuNuSamsao+Sim. Priscilla is definitely a wildcard in this scenario, however, as I know she is close with Yannick/Youtubers and may not want to go against that group. She did apparently switch the vote to save me over Taylor, but I don't know if: 1. That is truthful. 2. How far her like/trust of me goes, and who she would be willing to betray to keep me/my best interests in play.

A very unfortunate circumstance is currently underway. That is Samsao likely going to tribal. I am sooooo fearful for she is going to be completely wiped out at this vote and I DESPERATELY need her in this game. On the bright side, I have a feeling that jury might be starting this tribal and Maya on the jury is definitely a great, great thing for me if I happen to make FTC. The issue is, without Maya in this game as a solid number on my side, getting to FTC will be even harder.

"talap"

- I kinda want to go to the Temple so I can discuss plans with Chris, but I don't want people to think that I won some sort of advantage when, if I go there, I wouldn't even do one of the challenges.

"samsao"

- I think they purposely threw this competition to get me out. Rhi is trying to flip Maya. This will be my tightest squeeze yet. Let's see if I can pull it off. If not, then I'm off to the gallows!

"samsao"

- So the Rhi-Eva duo planned to throw this challenge and vote Cliff out. Oh babe, that's a no no. I'm sticking with the S&S and will protect this alliances. Rhiannon is a very likely to be the target, she's a triple threat and it's a dumb move to let her enter the merge and become more powerful later on. I was said to be in the middle, but I've never been. I will play along with their plan of voting Cliff off and make sure they don't use any sort or advantage they have this time around. If I want to make a move, this is the perfect time to get the big fish out and hope she won't see it coming.

Day 19
"samsao"

- Sim fucking planted the fake vote on Clifford and pinned blame on Jake. Jake made it but he didn't use it. Eva was shown it by Jake and showed Clifford, and Clifford didn't tell anyone until that parchment came out and he told Jake he saw it. There's a crack in that Rhi-Eva-Jake connection and Sim is the triggerman. Question is, did Sim do it of his own volition, knowing that he warned Clifford about being the target or did he get told to do it by someone who knew everything....

"samsao"

- I'm getting nuked. Fuck. Me.

"talap"

- Wow Sim is really serving me tea right now and I did not see this coming JSNGJKWNEG. Apparently Clifford and Taylor were T I G H T and when Cliff and Sim were at the temple, Cliff explicitly told Sim to work with Taylor. Too bad Sim didn't want to follow that plan kajwngjkwngr. Now he thinks that Clifford is going to be GUNNING for him at the merge, which honestly is good for my game. Sim may not be able to integrate back into Eva's alliance if Clifford is actively distrusting and targeting him. He may stick to my side, and even though he is UTR as hell, he is a vote regardless. He also told me that Cliff said that he and Yannick are on the outs and Eva is in sort of a swing vote position. JDNGKJWNGJKNWGJKNWJKGNJKWEGN THE FUCK???? ME WHEN THIS EVA ALLIANCE I HAVE BEEN FORMULATING IN MY HEAD MAY JUST BE A FIGMENT OF MY OWN PARANOIA. I hope that whatever Sim is telling me right now is not a lie. If it isn't, Maya will still be in this game, Yannick will not trust Rhi and Eva, and I have more wiggle room to maneuver through this game.

"samsao"

- I tried hustling in the shadows but it looks like my self-fulfilling prophecy of being one of the last pre-merge boots is coming true! I stand by every move and every risk I took in this game. No regrets, it was a great ride, there's a small sliver of a chance I skate by but everyone stopped talking to me and gave me fluff instructions for this vote. The writing's on the wall. If my time doesn't come today then it's coming soon. But sadly, that's me being optimistic, that maybe I'll survive one more day to do a little a more damage. Damn, I really had fun playing this one. Gonna miss it.
