Welcome!

[Alina Wilson]

We merged, and Chet and Vytas are both gone. Damn, that was pretty awesome! I don't know how Malcolm did it, but I guess he really is Jesus. You just can't get rid of him, evidently. Which is pretty annoying...I think I want to get rid of him first, out of our group, actually. Of course, I'd like to hit off like Colby and Natalie first, but then later down the line, getting Malcolm out would be nice. The guy has this game in the bag if he makes it to the end. He keeps wanting to take me to the end, but really, I'm not stupid. I know he'd kick my ass.

He's got connections with all the Wynn people, which I don't have. I want to go to the top two with a member of Dampier with an inferior social game. Meaning, Charlie. He's really my ideal choice for a final two. Everything I've done, he's done as well, but I've been the person really making the decisions and controlling everything. I don't see myself losing to him in a final two. Thankfully, I already have a final two deal with him and all I have to do is make sure he takes me over Edgardo. Like, here's the plan. I say, we get rid of 2 or 3 people not in our alliance, then get rid of Malcolm in like...6th. I don't really want to wait until the final 5. The guy's smart and strong, he could easily win a bunch of immunities in a row. I don't think he can channel Kelly Wiglesworth and win four though. So he'd have to go eventually.

Edgardo would be my second target. An ideal final three would be of myself, Lex and Charlie. I think they'd both take me to the end, and I think I would beat Charlie in the end, hands down. Lex, it might be a bit of a challenge, but I think that there is a possibility of me pulling it out. But either way, in that final three, I think I'm guaranteed a shot in the FTC. I don't want to take Charlie and Edgardo, because while I think I might have a shot against both of them(maybe Edgardo??? I'm really not sure, to be honest, I have to see how he interacts with the Wynns first), I think they would take each other. I don't plan on being third place, so...I need to find some random member of the other tribe who sucks at challenges to keep until the end so that they can be ditched at four or five or whatever. I don't want Malcolm going on a winning streak. That would be just lame.

We've merged, and the guy is taking charge, he's got this whole plan that revolves around getting Denise to flip over to us and then blindsiding her so that we avoid any idol shenanigans. After all, now that Chet and Vytas are gone, either she has the Lowe idol, or no one does. So it sounds logical. But I don't really care for it. I don't want Malcolm to be the king and control everything that happens. I mean, there are pros and minuses to something like that. While, the pros, he puts a target on himself and makes it easier for me to remove him first, the cons are he gets too much power with Kelly and Natalie, and thus, in turn, Colby, up in his bum. I want Natalie or Colby to go first...I don't care about either of them. I changed my mind on Kelly, though, I actually like her. The other two, however, they suck. That might change, but whatever. The object of my hatred(Vytas) is gone, so I don't care too much anymore.

Malcolm thinks this plan is so genius, and while it does make sense, I don't want him gaining so much control in the game, that if he decided to, he could work with Every at the final 8. I want Natalie or Colby gone. I think they'd both make fine first jurors. I know I'm not being the first juror, since I'm playing this idol at TC no matter what, provided I don't win individual immunity. Stupid? Maybe. But I don't want people thinking I'm a threat for having it. Charlie is the only one who thinks I have it - he didn't tell anyone he gave it to me...I haven't told anyone either. I already know what I'll say, though. It's the truth. "He wanted the idol to get in the merge for sure so he gave it to me after I got Immunity." Simple. Easy. Final 8.

If I win immunity, I said I'd give it back to Charlie, but I don't really know if I feel like doing that. I might just hold on to it if I can subtly convince him to. "We're safe, w/e." But that might piss him off and make me seem selfish(which I SO am)...so if he insists, I'll give it back, I guess. I like having it though. It's fun having an idol. I hope there's a merge idol and I can find that and no one knows about it. Having an idol people know about is stupid. It's like, what's the point? It's not "hidden" anymore. You may as well just play it so people don't worry about it in the future. That's what I'm doing, anyways.

I'm actually still in shock he gave it to me. I mean, I understand why he did it, but it's still like...wow. I mean, I'm getting people to give me idols. I'm finding that hilarious.

I mean, really, I'm clearly the alpha in Charlie and I's relationship(even though I'm not even straight but whatever I think if I told him that it'd break his heart so I'm avoiding that topic. Also not telling Lex because he's like super religious, I think...the only person I told was Katie and she's gone so), like...in the final two, I have so much that I think I would win easily. He's easily, EASILY, my best option to take to the end. Malcolm, who's votes do I get? Charlie...with an outside shot of like, Edgardo? He and Lex are like BFFs. That's annoying. I need to cut Malcolm out of the picture with Charlie and Edgardo, then convince Charlie to cut Edgardo. Or, hopefully, Lex wins immunity in the final four or something. I'm thinking it might be best to do this stuff in the final 6. 6th: Malcolm, then 5th: Edgardo 4th: The Last Wynn and then me, Lex and Charlie. I guess that might be dumb. But I want Denise to be that last Wynn because even if she sneaks her way to the end, she probably won't win. Such good puns. Wynn. Win. Hah. Natalie actually already did that one, huh...? Darn.

Also, I think Denise would take me to the end after Chet's "goat" speech. So, I mean, I don't want Denise to go home at all. She's useful to me. If Malcolm tries playing up the "remove Denise" angle, then I'll just fuck Malcolm(not in the good way) and say he's trying to get too much power to himself and side with the Dampier's and Denise. That's much better for me, anyways. I guess he could always reveal the final two thing, but then people would just want to take me to the end more, I think, so, whatever. I mean, I think even by playing all of this goatiness up, I could still beat Charlie and Denise, and possibly Lex or some random if I had to - I like to think I know what I'm doing. Someone like Malcolm, though, is unbeatable. He has too many bonds with people I don't - he's making big moves and taking charge - like, go away. I don't want you to win. I want me to win. And it's not gonna be happening against you.

I already proved how much his final two deal meant to me when I tried voting him off round one, so it's like...whatever.

Edgardo is actually totally loyal to us, it's pretty funny. He asked Charlie if Lex and Malcolm would stay loyal, and he was getting paranoid so he wanted to play his idol. He's clearly with us. Thank god Lex didn't somehow get his way. That would have sucked.

Lex, I think, will stay loyal. He's deluded himself into thinking he's our leader but he's basically on the outs of every major decision. I'm personally having fun with that. I think it's funny.

Malcolm, like I said, he's fishy and is trying to go for a powergrab. I don't want that to happen...I want Denise to stay. She could be useful. I don't want her in the F3 since I think she'd be taken over me, but if she DID win her way there, it'd definitely be better than some other Wynn pulling it off.

It's pretty clearly a final 2 now, unless there's a last-minute outcast twist that I've been thinking is a possibility since round one. Doubtful, though. Jury of 7, final 2 is how it's looking, so that's what I'm planning for. If there's magically a final 3 and jury of 6 I'll facedesk and feel like an idiot. Thankfully, I highly, highly, highly, HIGHLY, doubt that will be occurring. It'd be kind of silly IMO, so I should be okay.

Anyways, for now, while I feel our five is solid, there hasn't been much plan for a vote. Of course, Malcolm wants Denise out, but I don't. I want Colby or Natalie to go. I think I want to lay back strategically after my taking charge in the swap, but some of these moves other people want to make are just silly and I don't want them happening at all.

We'll see what happens~

[Alina Wilson]

I actually had to go back and look and confirm neither of those episode titles were mine. I'm glad to know I'm not the only person going psycho.

[Alina Wilson]

My bids:

Chest #1: 3
Chest #2: 42
Chest #3: 3
Chest #4: 42
Chest #5: 7
Chest #6: 3

I THINK this adds up to 100. Don't ask me, I can't even math.

My gut is telling me to put more points on Chest #5. Can I change later if I feel like it?

[Host Jeremiah]

Yes you can, just make a new post and maybe IM/PM me that you changed it

[Alina Wilson]

Today has been rather uneventful. I mean, stuff HAPPENED, yeah, but considering it's a merge I'm surprised at how quiet some things/people are. It's putting me on edge.

Natalie approached me after I got home, in the afternoon - and started talking about how she wants to work with me and how she thinks the guys are getting something together. Also, about how I'm "one of her favorite people from night one." I mean, I was pretty flattered. I should be everyone's favorite person, after all. Anything otherwise would just be cruel. Okay, I'm not really that narcissistic, but...you get the point. It was nice.

I of course, agreed that the guys could work together - and that I didn't really have any close allies now that Kathy was gone. All BS. She, Kelly and Colby just do not know how screwed they are yet. It's kind of sad and funny at the same time. I mentioned Malcolm and Lex are close, so they could possibly start something. She said "idk about Lex but Malcolm is a cool guy." Hm...well, anyways, I know there's no chance in hell of a guy alliance forming. That would be stupid. But if I play up the scared little girl card, she won't really know I'm actually in complete control.

Malcolm came to me in the middle of the conversation and told me that Natalie would be approaching me for help, because those two girls are worried Denise or Colby(who?) could flip. They think Malcolm's totally on board. I told him she already did, and told her all the nonsense she was trying to pour into my head. Unfortunately for my ego, she also told Malcolm that he was one of her favorite people. Great. So much for that compliment. I'm gonna go cry softly now.

She had to go in the middle of our convie right when it was getting good and interesting, too! How disappointing...but, she said she'd be back later tonight, so hopefully that can be picked up. ^.^

The fact that even they are coming to me for my vote makes me less tempted to play my idol at TC. I think I might save it a round, to be honest...I don't want to waste it, but I don't want to be the person who goes home with one in her pocket. That would just be ever so depressing. We'll see how stuff goes, first. I'm not sure how people will react if I played it. Charlie's supposed to have it, after all, and while we do have an explanation, it would be strange neither of us decided to say anything, I think...I think I'll bring it up to Eddie-boy(who I actually like and is one of my fave people <3) at some point before I play it so he doesn't lose faith, in, well, at least me. And that way, if Charlie still hasn't told him, he loses faith in Charlie and gains more in me. Or he decides to hate us both. I'm hoping that last part doesn't happen, though~

Anyhow, I tried discussing with Malcolm to NOT target Denise first, and that targeting an Every would be better, but that it was ultimately his choice. I didn't want him thinking I was like, opposing him, but...I think his idea was dumb. I seem to have convinced him, but he was reluctant to accept it, so he decided to "discuss it with the group" first. By "the group" it seems he meant Lex. Oh no. Lex. What crazy idea will he have this ti-

"Well, obviously we can't get rid of Denise first."

THANK YOUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU
 
My knight in shining armor.~

He understands that an Every, one of Natalie, Colby, or Kelly, has to go home first! I said I don't care who goes, which, for the most part, is true. I wouldn't mind Kelly sticking around longer than the other two, since, as said previously, she's actually cool. Natalie's alright. I still hate Colby, though. I'd rather Natty go first, since, I mean, she's kind of a beast. She won one immunity(even though it wasn't really an actual CHALLENGE, but still) and beasted the other one and almost got it. Lex suggested her first, but Malcy flipped out over that idea. He said "WELL WHY DON'T WE GET COLBY AND TRY TO CONVINCE KELLY AND NATALIE THAT HE'S FLIPPING THAT WAY EVERYONE IS HAPPY." Why are you so defensive of Natalie and Kelly..? It's suspicious.

Malcolm's survival over there bothers me. His plan was convoluted and stupid, I don't see how it possibly could have worked out for him. He made a deal with those two girls and I want one of them gone ASAP. I don't want him gaining too much power. He's the first to go out of Kiddgardo, for sure, if I have any say in it, but I need to make sure we cut off the limbs first.

Charlie also seemed bothered about it, but he seemed hesitant to broach the subject. I want to put my trust in Charlie, I really do, but he just doesn't seem like he's even trying anymore in conversations with me. Charlie did mention that "Malcolm would win for sure if he got to the end" Well, obviously. Thank god I'm not the only one who's seeing this. I don't want Malcy to be Kim Spradlin: The Redux.

Charlie said that, probably, our only chances to win are against each other. He thinks Eddie has a good chance in the end as well. So...logically, he should side with me. I can't really see any reason why he would screw me, or, well, that ANYONE would screw me, provided I didn't get caught with my two final two deals or some other thing got discovered. That's the only reason I can imagine anyone wanting to vote me out.

Edgardo, however, we talked about it and he's also suspicious of it. Edgardo actually has conversations with me, unlike Kidd. It's nice. He's cool. I like him. When I spoke with him, he also said that people are being quiet. So, thankfully, it isn't just me who feels like they're in the time-out bin. He's distrustful of Lex because Lex wanted to keep Chet, so...he wants to get rid of Lex first out of us, is basically what he said. That he trusted him the least and that he might try to start a coup because he feels replaced by Eddy, or something. Welp, whatever. Malcolm is the biggest threat and I think I can convince him of that later, at final 6 or 7. Waiting til 5 seems too risky to me...he did say, if Lex tried to pull a coup that he'd target Eddy or Charlie first. I wish I'd asked why he'd do that, because than I could get affirmation that I'm a non-threat and a "goat".

Heh, well, whatever.

We have this immunity challenge, which...is okay. I wish it was something more than just luck. I basically decided to just put at least 3 coins in each because I felt people would at least put one in each, then some people would decide to put two in to be "clever" I figured going up one would be nice. I thought of doing 4 or 5, but I got bad gut feelings, so I didn't. 5 is also a bad number to pick, anyways. It's a common number someone could pick, so...yeah. No ties plz. At least not wrt me! Then I went with my gut and put some points in 2 and 4. Then I took 2 points off 2 and 4 and put a couple on 5 because of another gut feeling. Felt 7 was a good number to have it at. I didn't want to take too much off 2 and 4, though, because I'd like to win, well, SOMETHING, provided it's not something lame or disadvantageous.

There's one other thing I want to discuss. Colby. He's said like five things in group chat. Nothing else. I've not heard a peep out of him. It's very strange. Like, is he even playing the freaking game...? It's so confusing to me. Hodor is more of a skilled and interesting conversationalist than him. He just sits there and pops out with some thing I can't even remember once every 5 hours. Worst social game 2014? Seems like it to me.

More should happen tonight, if Natalie comes on.~ I hope she does!

Thank God it's never happened to a guy in a solid position in a Survivor Warriors game before. Or a bird, for that matter. No sirree, cannot recall that ever happening.

On a side note, I'm digging the images at the top. Adds a little bit of immersion that I really like. Thanks Alina!

[tbird]

How solid could your position have been if you got voted out? "Voted out" is, like, the LEAST solid position to be in.

[Alina Wilson]

He was being solidly voted out.

And thanks Austin! <3 I'm glad you like them. I randomly came up with the idea to do them so I'm happy they're making my confessionals funner~

I'm sorry to hear about your idol Austin ;-; I'm trying to look on the bright side that, thankfully, due to Brian Heidik dropping out, there are no Brians to do horrible crimes to me here!

Three people riding or dying with me, albiet one of them was Jay. If I idoled out Katie, I would have had a lot or room to maneuver. At least that's what I tell myself...

[tbird]

Holy shit I'll put up with being reminded of the fact that I went home with an idol in my pocket, but don't you DARE slander the great Jay Byars.

I typed and deleted the message to you about how you should idol. Good times, good times.

[Alina Wilson]

Oh, I'm pissed right now. Not because I won nothing in the auction - no, I really don't care about that. I'll get to why I'm pissed in just a moment. I'm going to have to play up being a goat and a bitch as much as possible these next two rounds or I'm totally, utterly fucked. I've already started in the last hour, in fact.

Last night, Natalie solidfied this "girlliance" thing between me and Kelly, even though she hadn't talked to Kelly yet. Now, I know this alliance is absolute BS they're using to try and get my vote on their side for a round. Malcolm is telling me everything. She said she'd talk to Kelly and that we were gonna rock this or some crap, I don't remember what I said. I was basically just running my mouth on how "omg amazing" this alliance is. Nope! Screw her. My loyalty, easily, EASILY, is to Kidd and Edgardo, as if that's not obvious enough by now.

Anyways, it seems like Charlie is back to interacting normally with me. I'm not sure what happened - I guess he was just busy, but I feel he wants to work with me 100% again, which is nice...and with regards to "my" idol, I've told Malcolm and Lex about it - and he told Eddie, who I also then told. I've decided I'm playing it tonight because I don't feel like being targeted for having it, and because I want Malcolm to look like a big fat liar in front of Natalie and Kelly for him pushing his fake idol thing. ...Which reminds me...what happened to that? Wasn't he going to "give" an idol to Natalie and Kelly in return for him staying?

That's strange. I swear to god there's something going on between those three and they are going to try to pull something at F7...he wants Colby gone this round, then Denise at 8...this is strange to me. I don't like it. Next round, I'm NOT letting Denise go home. This is too strange. Malcolm is pulling something and whatever it is, he's not telling me about it, so, bye bye, loser. Denise can stay. You and your girl-gang? Not happening.

Ideally, Natalie should be next. She won immunity this round, again, which is annoying, and even though it's a random challenge for some reason you can still(somehow) convince people that she's a threat for winning it. Doesn't make sense to me, but I'll push that angle next round.

This round, the "Good Guys" decided to random.org whom to vote out between Colby and Kelly. We got heads, so it's Colby tonight...so, hopefully, Natalie next, then Kelly/Denise in whatever order, I don't care. Then Malcolm. Then, Eddie. Then I'm in a final three with two people I have final two deals with.

Oh yeah, by the way, Lex came up to me and offered me a final two deal. Snrk. That's...what, #5? I accepted, and immediately ran and told my true final two deal, Charlie, all about it, and I think that cemented even more trust in his mind. I didn't tell Malcolm, because, well, you already know. Screw Malcolm.

Lex's "genius plan" is to take out two of the not-us group, then at F7 take out Edgardo...why? That's dumb. Lex is really silly. I'm worried he could have something with Malcy and then at F7 they take over with Natakelly and fuck everything up. I'm not letting that happen. Denise is STAYING at F8 and one of Natakelly is going if I have ANYTHING to say about it.

I told Charlie about that plan, and he was like "lol why not wait til F5" Oh, so  he's one of those. Good to know. I'll wait til F5 to hit Malcolm, I guess...regrettably. If he wins immunity we can hit Eddie, then Malcolm. Either way works.

...Ugh. I'm getting paranoid of every single message people send me at this point. Don't put a punctuation mark at the end? Clearly plotting against me. That's pretty much the shit that runs through my head on an hourly basis. Facepalm.

Anyways, we got the auction results up. I won a shocking amount of NOTHING! Yay me! Natalie won immunity, as I said previously, and Charlie immediately told me that he got another idol. LOL.

We basically decided to just tell everyone in group chat, and I had to act shocked in there, and also in PMs, where Malcolm told me before Charlie said so in group chat. Malcolm got a...vote revealer. ...yay? I'm not sure what the use for that is if it doesn't happen, like, pre-vote reveal, but whatever? MIA are: Double Vote(this worries me greatly), Advantage For Next Challenge, Disadvantage For Next Challenge

So, we'll see what happens with those. I hope the next challenge is endurance because I think I could rock that and actually win something, otherwise I'm not too sure, hehe.

Anyways, once the results are up Malcolm decided to consult with his fauxlliance over there with the Colby/Kelly/Natalie/Denise group to see who they'd vote. They thought Eddie for a while then reconsidered because of his idol - then they decided to decide on either Charlie or...me. Wait, me? How rude. Evidently, I'm a "social threat" according to Kelly. She's too smart for her own good. So now that I'm evidently being perceived as a social threat, I'm now going to act as demeaning and horrible to them after the vote as possible and make myself gain even more goat points!

I guess, theoretically, that could also give me "idoled out" points, if Denise has the idol, which does worry me a bit - but if that doesn't occur, I think I'm in a fairly decent position. I think being idoled out is the only thing that could stop me for a while, unless something ridiculous and stupid occurred. I'm bored of being nice, though, anyways. I'll just tell Denise that Natalie told her that she didn't like her and hated her for the most absurd, petty reason ever, "oh no she won immunity and not me" is basically the reasoning. Snrk. Get over it. You got ~mindgamed~ and ~Deniseowned~ I like Denise. You can shut right the hell up. I had to agree with her reasoning, and I actually do kind of understand why she's mad. But I need someone to hate and so I'm going to block out all possible logic just so I can hate on someone. Besides, like every single thing she's ever spoken to me about was a big fat load of horse shit to get my vote, so it's like...whatever, anyways. It's not like she actually likes me or anything, so...who cares?

They eventually decided on Charlie, but, whatever. I'm still playing my idol tonight. Lex tried to convince me otherwise, but it's like, no. This is stupid. I guess, logically, it makes no sense for me to play it tonight, and I completely understand that. But if I got voted out with an idol I would have nightmares about it for weeks and I would probably need extreme shock therapy or something and I would just be in a state of PTSD for many years to come. I don't want to end up like that, so...yeah. I guess I could just end up regretting not saving it for the next round, too, huh? So I guess I don't win either way. Welp, whatever, guaranteed 8th place is nice, and I don't know what that gang is gonna pull. For all I know Denise could pull out an idol and play it on Colby, so...I want to be out of that possibility's range, hehe. Even though they're voting for Charlie, evidently, it still weirds me out. I come up with ridiculous, nonsensical, very improbable possibilities and then that scares me to no end. I don't want one of those rare possibilities to occur and screw me. Besides, I already told everyone I'm playing it. If I didn't that'd be a total bitch move.

Anyways, in just a moment my vote and bootlist will be up. Let's see just how much of a "social player" I am after they see my vote. Snrk.

I think I'm starting to weird people out with my paranoia, though, I really should keep it to myself, but whatever. It's hard. I figure that by confiding in people about my paranoia it'll make them think I trust them - although then they could get scared that I'll get paranoid of them next, hehe. It's kind of a lose-lose situation.

Anyways, tonight is going to be the start of a wonderful coup d'etat and I'm going to be the new queen, provided nothing goes disastrously wrong...it's really on Malcolm's shoulders. I don't think Eddie, Lex or Charlie will flip. If Malcolm does...that could be bad. It's an extremely, extremely unlikely possibility, but it's incredibly difficult to read him. If all goes according to plan, I can't wait to see the reactions. I'm gonna laugh so hard. Blindsiding Katie? That sucked, since I liked her. Blindsiding Colby, Natalie and Kelly? Gives me the giggles just thinking about it.

Speaking of which...I really haven't even spoken to Colby. It puts me a little on edge putting someone on the jury who I've barely spoken to, since that makes it much, much, much harder for me to get his vote in the end, but the same goes for Charlie and Lex, so I think if I end up in the end with them things should still work out for me. So...whatever, I guess.

[Alina Wilson]

Nevermind! Please change that last vote to this one because PLANS BY MALCOLM HAVE ARISEN! Will explain later.



Nevermind! Please change that last vote to this one because PLANS BY MALCOLM HAVE ARISEN! Will explain later.

edit: also I realized I have like a very good shot of making F2 and I need to not fuck up my bonds with Kelly/Natalie/Denise...more in depth stuff when not dying of tiredness. but tl;dr I keep convincing myself stupid things are smart then realizing they're stupid later. thank god i at least eventually realize it

[Alina Wilson]

I've come to the realization that I'm actually in an amazing position, and if this vote goes according to plan I'm basically on cruise control to the final five, and from there, well, I have three final two deals and an unsaid final three deal with Charlie and Edgardo. There's no need for me to play up being a goat at all. I'm actually pretty invincible. What I need to worry about, though, is jury votes.

I think my top priority right now should be getting on Natalie/Kelly/Denise's good sides. They are three crucial votes that if I get in the FTC, I only need one more vote to achieve victory. I think I could easily get two more other than those two, but I would only need one. As much as it would have been fun to play up being a goat and a bitch, it's not an ideal strategy right now. I need them to want to vote me in the FTC, which is what I've been thinking about recently. If all goes according to plan, those three will be the next three boots, and then I'll be in a F5 of Malcolm/Myself/Lex/Charlie/Edgardo.

That's why I changed my vote to a less bitchy one.(Please don't post that bitchy one ugh I'm more worried about that than I am about the actual vote LOL) Their three votes are crucial. I feel Malcolm and Lex might be a bit pissed when I almost certainly end up breaking my final two deals with them, but, I'm breaking at least two anyways, unless it's a shock F3 somehow, which I find highly unlikely. I feel that, if I end up in a final two with Charlie, who is my ideal choice right now - Edgardo would probably vote for him, although there is a chance of him being bitter from Charlie betraying him in favor of myself, which would be rather fun. I don't know what Colby's thinking - but he hasn't really talked to, well, anyone, so thankfully I think if I can infect Denise/Natalie/Kelly, his mind will be affected by them, and in turn, he'll go for whoever they vote for(which will hopefully be myself). Pack mentality. It's a thing.

I did some jury-vote thoughts last night, and while I think I have a chance to possibly beat out Malcolm if he makes the other Wynn's angry by betraying them, I don't want to take that chance. He's definitely going to be a challenge to beat, and I want him out at 5. Lex, I honestly think I would defeat in a landslide unless he has a lot of other relationships going on that I don't know about. I think maybe he'd get Malcolm and Kelly's votes...that's pretty much it. I think Charlie would vote for me even if I voted him out at F3, to be honest. I don't plan on doing that, though. It's not that I'm playing for second - but if I do lose, I want it to be to Charlie.

However, I think the possibility of me actually losing to Charlie in a final tribal council is miniscule. I mean, if they plan on voting strategically, I've pretty much been driving the whole time. I don't see any way he could argue out a victory over me. Socially, well...let me show you an example of his social game.

And nothing else was said that night.

Thanks for your vote, Natalie! "I forgot". That's like my favorite phrase ever rn. It's hysterical to me. I mean, Charlie really isn't putting all that much effort into...well, any aspect of the game besides, well, helping me, lol. Which is nice. I like that. I like people helping me. But I mean, let's face it - the guy almost certainly can't beat me in the end. I think he knows that, but I think he wants to go with me anyways. Which is amazing. I mean, he literally said us not being the final two would be a crime. <3

He seriously is my favorite person. We stayed up the whole night and talked about what the boot order should be - I thought he'd be too timid for that, but he surprised me and we pretty much planned everything out. He has the same ideal boot order I do. We boot Denise/Natalie/Kelly in whatever order, who even cares? Then at 5, we ditch Malcolm, and then me and Charlie are the swing votes between Eddie and Lex. That way, we're invulnerable that round bc those two are pit against one another, and ideally, we boot Eddie there, since Lex is weaker. Also that works out great for me, because either way, I'm in the final two regardless. Charlie would take me, Lex would take me, and if I win immunity, well...I would take me. Duh.

We also may or may not have stayed up all night shit talking certain people. *cough* But yeah. I thought he was too nice to do things like that but he really is perfect. <3 We're on like the exact same wavelength about, like, everything, hehe. I'm a bit worried that the shit talking I've done about some people with Charlie and Edgardo could, um...get back to the jury. But I have an excuse for that, if that does happen. Something along the lines of "I was just trying to fit in! I really like you guys, honest!" Something like that'll work, maybe?

Thankfully, though, most of the people I've shit talked are pre-jury. So... that's nice!

Anyhow, that possibility works great even in an event of a surprise F3. I think I could beat Charlie and Lex both. I don't think a surprise F3 will happen because then we'll need a jury of 6 or something...or 5...which would just be like, uh...no.

I think that even if Edgardo went on a little streak and it was me/him/Charlie in the final round, I think I could honestly convince Edgardo to take me over Charlie. I'm trying to come up with good arguments right now just in case. Nothing too great yet, but I've got some ideas rolling around in my head.

I mean, I know that complacency leads to chaos, but this all feels too easy. I suppose that should be sparking paranoia - but it's really not. After this round, what do I have to worry about? A possibility of Denise having an idol, in which case I have backup plans for if I don't win immunity, and the small possibility of Lex and Malcolm flipping at F7? Edgardo's really paranoid about that possibility - but I think I can keep Lex and Malcolm under control. "We can get Edgardo at F5!" I'll say, and they'll buy it. Edgardo won't be going at F5, though, unless Malcolm wins immunity...in that case I'm not sure what the ideal course of action would be...Ugh. That's lame. I'll have to think this over.

Either way, Charlie/Lex/Me is an ideal F3 and I think I win the game if I get there with those two.

Edgardo's having kind of a freakout about a few things - Lexcolm flipping at F7, which I told him and Charlie I'd try to get under control(spoiler alert: It's already under control) and stuff, and he's also worried about Denise playing an idol on Colby and then one of Lex or Malcolm going home. It's POSSIBLE, I guess, and he's considering throwing a stray vote at Kelly, I think. That's what Charlie was telling me, anyways. I think we got this, though. I'm immune since I'm playing my idol tonight, so it's not like I care. These people wouldn't know how to get rid of me even if they wanted to.

Though, tonight, Natalie and Kelly are going to be so pissed at me and I'm honestly going to have fun. I'm looking forward to it. Sure, I have to re-befriend them and stuff, but I think it'll be funny to me for a little bit. I'll take pleasure in their suffering for Kathy's sake. ^.^ The two of them are under the impression I'm voting Charlie and that i'm so excited for this alliance ohmahgawd. Heh, well, they're in for a surprise.

I talked with Malcolm pretty in-depth last night, and I honestly think he's totally loyal to me, the poor bastard. He was talking about how pissed Natalie and Kelly will be at him, and how he's worried he'll get the Russell edit when he was hoping for the JT one. Oh, buddy, if you think the stuff you've done and said was bad I can't wait until you come into my confessionals. You're a golden boy, don't worry. He seems really obsessed with loyalty, which is nice, but it's something that I don't particularly care about. 9 out of 10 times, I'm not winning if I go to the end with him, so...I don't plan on going to the end with him if I have any say. Sorry?

He seems to be trying to convince me to still take him to the end - maybe he senses some doubt in me, I'm not sure. But he was talking about how he's not gonna get any Wynn votes because he betrayed them, which I don't really believe, but I'll pretend I do. He's going to be pretty pissed at me for betraying our F2 deal with all his loyalty talk, but oh well. Like I said before, what am I supposed to say when someone gives me a F2 I'm not interested in? "No"? I'm not a moron. Hopefully Lex and he will understand, but I don't particularly expect them to. I'd be pissed off if I was in their shoes and they were me, so...I'm working on getting other votes. If I get theirs, great! Otherwise? Hopefully no big deal.

However, he still keeps avoiding the subject whenever I start talking about how crazy it is how he survived and Vytas left. I'm very, very paranoid he has a deal with Natakel and that scares me. I know Edgardo is scared too - we talked about it. I want to bring it up to Charlie as well and see what he thinks. Lex...eh. Lex is weird. I don't know what he'll do. He'll freak out and say "DO YOU NOT TRUST MALCOLM?!!?!?!? YOU SHOULDN'T BE TRUSTING EDGARDO, YOU SHOULD REALLY BE TRUSTING MALCOLM! STOP MISBEHAVING, MY CHILD!"

OK, cool. Yeah.

Anyways, should tonight go well, I think I'm in complete control, and if I was going to get exposed for all my quintuple-dealing, it would've happened already. I feel great. Things are looking up and I feel very confident. Things are pretty amazing for me.
