TC votes

[Kelly Goldsmith]

i'm voting for edgardo, i'm going to try to post a parchment later but i might not get on in time. also this is subject to change but i need to post this just in case i miss the deadline

so basically i spoke to natalie before the challenge and apparently malcolm told her that the idol was already found based on the clue in his treasure map and the only person who had the treasure map before him was edgardo so basically he needs to go but not know that he is going. so if we get colby to vote brett like the original plan and me/natalie/katie vote edgardo then that works

Switching my vote to brett

yay an actual parchment!!
anyway, i'm voting vytas. i normally hate players on actual survivor who think making big moves is a prerequisite for having a winning game but this is online survivor and i really want to make something happen before my inevitable post-merge crash&burn (or maybe even pre-merge, depending on how this vote goes since it could very well backfire). and if this actually works, i think it would be the biggest move in the game thus far, although from what i've heard from katie, there's a big move brewing on the other tribe as well. basically, this boils down to taking out a huge threat while we can. getting 4 votes to get vytas out is a lot more manageable than gathering 6 or more votes to get him out in the post-merge and considering how well-connected he is, this is our only chance in the foreseeable future. i trust malcolm a lot right now (possibly the most out of anyone in this game, who would have thought that our ITT thing would actually blossom into a genuine alliance), but if he's playing me then bra-fucking-vo because that would genuinely be a huge shock to me. i don't trust kathy (see the screenshot that malcolm showed me of part of their conversation that i posted in my episode 5 confessional). clearly i'm disposable to her but i trust in malcolm's ability to control her and make sure she sticks with us to the end. she doesn't seem like a threat to my game in the way that vytas does, so for now i'm going to let that one slide and hope it doesn't come back to bite me in the ass. vytas has not given me any explicit reason to distrust him in the way that kathy has, but unfortunately i can't take my mind off the obvious vytas/colby/denise alliance that i need to break up before the merge because they could easily work with the other original lowes at that point and pick us off. taking out vytas would completely change the post-merge dynamics and hopefully put me in a good spot (this is hoping that i can patch things up with colby after doing this to him). i still trust katie as of now and she has some potential numbers on that side as well so worst case scenario i have to completely jump ship and work with them and just ride that out and see where it takes me.

also, apparently colby approached katie last night about a post-merge alliance of him/vytas/denise (shocker) + me/nat/katie which would be a 6 person majority but even katie isn't feeling very good about that.

so, malcolm and kathy will vote vytas for sure. nat is essentially the swing vote. she told me she would do vytas after i said that's what i wanted to do, but she conceded so quickly especially after she was against doing this yesterday so i have a funny feeling that she's throwing me under the bus but i'm just going to take a risk here and go for this.

also if this works, sorry vytas because you are actually a very nice person, a lot nicer than kathy that's for sure

ugh already second-guessing the shit out of this

[Kelly Goldsmith]

okay i think i might change my vote back, but i would need to talk to nat and malcolm too so that no one is left behind looking like an idiot
why am i so terrible

[Kelly Goldsmith]

okay i am temporarily redacting my vote until i can talk to natalie

[Kelly Goldsmith]

well i guess i'm changing my vote at this TC as well. i've been internally debating this for the last few hours and it's a tough call but i'm going to chicken out and vote for kathy. and yes i realize i was the one being all pretentious about making a big move don't you dare judge me i can feel you all judging me right now YOU DON'T UNDERSTAND ME AND MY FEELINGS

[Kelly Goldsmith]

well no point in wasting a perfectly good parchment

voting for vytas

[Kelly Goldsmith]

my vote is for charlie
i just think he's the least likely out of edgardo/alina/lex/charlie to have an idol played on him so that's basically my only rationale. also i've never spoken to him
here is some glorious football man-ass that you love so much, charlie

(and the accompanying gif i will post in the thread if he actually does go home:


please god please let this work
i've been on the verge of throwing up all day

www.tubechop.com/watch/3584808i'll skip the fanfare yes blah blah this is a dream come true blah blah kelly g finally gets her redemption after 13 years okay moving on





it is shocking how accurate that voting confessional is for me i am totally on the same wavelength as 2001 kelly goldsmith <3 except i still don't know what the hell that little heart thing at the bottom right of the parchment is 

[Kelly Goldsmith]

idk i am so bad at this shit, that video is supposed to start at the kelly goldsmith voting confessional but it is at 38:56 for anyone who cares

[Kelly Goldsmith]

i couldn't think of anything interesting to use as a parchment fcking bite me
fuck u alina fuck this game i can't wait to get blindsided

[Kelly Goldsmith]

why the fuck not, even though ed is most likely leaving anyway
a 3-2 vote will be more exciting than a 4-1 vote
also idk it might be nice to stir up a little bit of paranoia...there's no way natalie will think it was me. + the added benefit of ed not feeling betrayed by me (assuming he realizes that it was me who didn't vote for him)

that would be funny if this ends up fucking me over in some way though
or if denise or alina are doing something similar and nat ends up going LOL although tbh i'm not against it. i might actually talk to alina about possibly changing her vote too but she isn't online for the first time in like 50 years

[Kelly Goldsmith]

never mind i think i should just stick with the plan
why god why am i so indecisive
