I'm A Non-Entity/Confessionals

Day 25
"capoterra"

- Arun went home just as planned. I'm not that thrilled to see him go but it's what the group decided on. I was surprised to see I got a vote from someone. I need to focus on winning this immunity challenge. Not only for immunity but for the reward. I don't wanna be the person who someone picks to reveal my vote and ruin my entire game. I was kinda planning on making a huge power shift this week.

"capoterra"

- Well, things in Sardinia about to turn upside down XD. Basically, Boo came up to me with a plan to ally with Hazim/ Wes, and to blindside Zane or Will. Now personally, I was really hesitant to go along with this, considering that I was just waiting for us to get to Final 7, then deceive Zane and Will to make them think I was with them, and then vote them out. But apparently, Boo thinks that our alliance is plotting against us, so he wants to get them out now. After thinking about it, I see what he means, are alliance is pretty wishy washy, so right now the plan is that if Wes wins immunity, me, koopa, Boo, and hopefully AJ side with Hazim and blindside Zane or Will. If Wes loses, we vote him out to make our alliance think that were loyal, but in reality, were working to blindside them asap.

"capoterra"

- To absolutely no ones surprise, Wes wins reward for playing QWOP. For winning reward he gets an advantage in the next challenge as well as a clue to the hidden immunity idol (great right? lol). I was the closest to beating him but it didn't happen. It's becoming obvious that Cali/Boo/Koopa feel so safe and secure they don't feel the sense of urgency to compete. And everyone else is noticing it too. I don't know if they realize that Wes could go all the way if we don't beat him. If he keeps winning and winning and winning and then FINALLY loses, he'll have won so many times that he'll pull out the hidden immunity Idol and STILL BE SAFE. And I don't think those other 3 have that sense of urgency to beat him anymore.

Our next challenge starts right away and it's a challenge (for immunity) where we must identify 100 different people by looking at an assortment of pictures. Right away I thought to myself what can we do to beat Wes, Arun, and Hazim. The former Cagliari tribe plus Trevor needs to work together on this! 8 heads are better than 1. And if all 8 of us share our answers we can totally beat Wes and the rest lol. Trevor was a big help, probably because of his age haha. He was able to identify a lot of the names by myself and everyone else pitched in and contributed on the rest. In the end we came up with 83 guesses which we felt was a VERY strong number. I really thought that could be the # to beat. And what do you know, WE LOSE AGAIN. At this point people are beginning to feel like there's something real sketchy about Wes and how his scores are so ridiculously high! It really making me believe there might be some foul play involved because how in gods name can somebody be so good at EVERYTHING?! But I don't have any proof. And I'm not about to whine and complain to the hosts. But I personally feel like something isn't right. I guess I'm just gonna have to work that much harder to win ANYTHING now.

Anyways Wes has won the challenge and it seems like a fairly easy split vote between Hazim and Arun. 5 votes on Arun and 3 on Hazim just in case an idol is played. Obviously we chose Arun over Hazim because Arun has proven to be more of a competitor in challenges. Not to say that Hazim isn't, but Arun has just been better thus far. So the votes are read and it looks like both Hazim and Wes have decide to vote with the majority and knock out Arun who is now the first member of the jury. It's pretty thrilling to at least know I've made it to the final tribal council! Especially from coming for the bottom of a tribe and out of a 6 person alliance. But I've been fighting hard and I've worked my ass off to maneuver myself into a better position (unknowingly to probably a majority of the players in the game). But that okay because that's what I want. I don't want the other players to know about me or my game. I'd rather leave them in the dark ;)

Right away our next immunity challenge is posted and its a word search mixed with a game of curveball. Honestly ain't nobody got time for a word search that's as massive as this one lol. This thing is GIANT and I just don't have the proper time to figure it out and play.

Assuming Wes will win yet another immunity challenge, I came up with a great plan to advance myself and my alliance even further into the game. And it's the move the Five Alive (Myself, AJ, Trevor, Zane, and Will) have been waiting to make. But this time it's one tribal council earlier. We're going to attempt to blindside Cali which will really shake up this game. So what's gonna happen is if Wes or Hazim wins immunity, Cali/Boo/Koopa are gonna want to split the votes on Wes/Hazim (whoever loses) and probably myself or Trevor (since clearly they think we're low on the totem pole) in order to protect themselves from an idol being played. AJ, Will, and Zane are gonna PRETEND to go along with the plan. But little do they know the Five Alive will actually be voting out Cali. Thus making Cali have 5 votes, while the other 5 will be scattered from Cali/Boo/Koopa trying to make a split vote happen, and Wes/Hazim throwing 2 votes somebody else's way. It won't even matter who they vote because 5 should be enough. Regardless of who wins and loses this immunity challenge I'm so ecstatic to vote either Cali or Wes haha. Wes from a game perspective because it's gonna be hard to beat him in challenges down the road. And Cali also from a game perspective but also on a more personal level because I felt like she and Boo weren't very kind or inviting back at old Cagliari. When I use to talk to her we really did get along, but I just feel like as the game went on she felt like because I wasn't one of her #'s she didn't need to talk to me anymore. I feel the whole Cali/Boo/Koopa group is all a little rude to everyone because they only talk to themselves. They don't care about the other people who aren't in their circle. And I think that's very rude. And I think it also makes you a bad social player. Fireworks are gonna be blazing if Cali is taken out but I'm so ready because I've been ready to make this move since day 10 now. And nothing seems to stand in my way now.

Now we just await immunity results...

Day 26
"capoterra"

- Lord have mercy things are about to heat up.

So AJ, Trevor, Tyler, William, and myself have finally decided to make our move. Tonight we're blindsiding Koopa.

I am very VERY nervous to have Wes and Hazim still in this game, but if Wes wastes the idol tonight (if he has it) and we play our cards right, no one will see it coming. AJ came to me a few days ago and told Will and myself right after the merge that Cali, Boo, and Koopa had formed an alliance of four with AJ. They wanted to blindside either me or Yap at Final 7. But he's really loyal to us, so he told us their plans and made a F3 pact with me and William.

Now we have the upper hand: we pulled in Tyler and Trevor, who have formed a tight bond, and are going to strike the death blow before they even see it coming. With Koopa gone, we have a 5-4 advantage, and will pick off the rest one by one until only the five of us are left.

My hope was that Cagliari could stay true to their word and stick together, but Koopa and Boo got cocky and decided they wanted to have their cake and eat it too. Guess what? I'M THE QUEEN OF SARDINIA. I took out Julia and Joe and I can sure as hell take the rest of y'all out if you wanna oppose me. The best part of all of this is that AJ will take all the blame: he's the one who went undercover and flipped on them. So I'll look like the hero who simply took advantage of the information and the situation handed to him. Which is a fair assumption: I didn't have to go out and make the moves. I pulled a Vecepia and let the pieces fall where they may. It just so happened that it has landed me a spot in the Final Five. If all goes well tonight, that is.

This is not to say I'm glad AJ is taking the blame. Sure it helps my game, but AJ has turned into my most trusted ally. We share things that only friends would share, and I don't think he's really gotten a fair shake in terms of public perception of his gameplay. He made all the moves and did all the dirty work. But in the end, the jury's not gonna vote for a traitor: they're gonna vote for the person they have the least bad blood toward. And if I can maneuver it to take AJ and Trevor to the end with me, that's exactly why I will win this game.

"capoterra"

- Okay, I've now talked to Tyler and Trevor to change the target of this elimination to Koopa. Yes, I'm blindsiding somebody who wants to take me to the Final 2. This will be a big strategic move, though, because without it, I'm a pawn in somebody else's game. This move will swing the power to me and Yap. Furthermore, if Wes plays an idol on Hazim and we're all voting Hazim, things may go pear-shaped, resulting in Trevor's elimination.

This may be my biggest move in the game. It sucks because I like Koopa, but he's the biggest strategic threat currently. He shows too much acumen.

"capoterra"

- Me, Cali, and Koopa were just played like a fiddle. I should have seen it coming. I knew AJ had a sub alliance with William and Zane. He's such a snake, telling everyone everything. I mentioned to Koopa the plan of blindsiding Zane this week but he didn't think it was a safe move. Guess he should have listened to me. I'm upset he left but me and Cali have to get over it quick and start thinking. We literally have to start from scratch. Maybe we can form an alliance with Hazim and Wes. But that will only be 5-4. Maybe there is someone else we can reel in, like Tyler or Trevor. Hopefully we can recover from this. If not, we're doomed.

"capoterra"

- Oh man, after the Koopa blindside, I have to do some major damage control. Boo and Cali are pissed. Proclaiming that they'd never give me their Jury votes, and that I'm scum. They admitted in public that they were going to blindside to Yap and Zane, though. And those two are part of my numbers. Same with Trevor, who's an ideal F2 partner anyway because I might get more votes than him.

Man, though. Cali and Boo don't like that they were previously on top of this game, and now are outsiders. Kinda like the Rotu Four. And Koopa also mentioned that if I make the Final Tribal Council, he'll make me pay. The thing is, I've had the most blood on my hands from Day 1, organising most of the blindsides and votes while everybody assumed that I was an non-entity. I've played the most cutthroat game, and that will probably cost me Jury votes. However, I can't turn back now. I have to finish what I started, unfortunately.

The first step is to blindside Boo. The Final 9 vote is crucial: my Final 5 Alliance (Trevor, Yap, Zane, me, Tyler) cannot be broken at 9, or else we will lose the game. For that, we cannot vote for Hazim or Wes, as much as I'd like to put nails in their coffins. Because Wes may have an Idol. The plan is to pretend to vote for Wes and then take out Boo, who's a bigger physical threat than Cali.

We'll see what happens. Trevor really wants to vote out Hazim or Wes, but he's the maverick who worries me. Hopefully, he doesn't make a silly decision.

"capoterra"

- Ughh.. this is going to be quick because I barely remember anything.

AJ decides to go into like some matrix mode where he is over playing and basically is running scenarios in his sleep. My job? Decide which ones are good and which ones that won't bite us in the but. Our basic goal in this one is for Hazim or Wes to not win immunity. That's all we need. Yes. Please?

Nope. Wes wins again. Psh. whatever. Now the 71 alliance that included all of Cagliari with Trevor has to turn on each other in order to ensure we avoid the hidden immunity idol.

Did I want to? Not really, but AJ was super adamant about it. I was just going with the flow, and it was just to be safe really. Looking back on it, we should have voted for Hazim, but hindsight is 50/50. Now the blindside vote is to go against Koopa for whatever reason AJ decided it to be.

Surprise, surprise. Hazim was actually vulnerable in that vote. Koopa goes home and it's DAMAGE CONTROL!!!

"capoterra"

- We failed. We should have struck Zane before it was to late, cause now with us waiting, me and Boo are left alone with Wes and Hazim. I just want to say, AJ is the equivalent of a parrot. You tell it something, and it goes out and blurts it to the world. Like, if AJ had not told Zane are plan to blindside him, he could have gotten to the finals. Honestly AJ, I don't want to hear your lame excuse "I wouldn't win against koopa". Well guess what, after this stupid move, I don't think your going to win against anyone! Koopa was your closest ally, he was loyal, smart, and trustworthy, but no, apparently, you rather go to the end with Will, who has no bad blood with anyone in this game! I know I sound a little bitter/ whiny about this all, itjust irritates me so much to think that AJ would completely demolish his road to the finals. It's time to take off the baby gloves, cause now I'm going all in.
