I made a huge mistake thinking I was a swing vote last week. I think I was too blunt with the other side that I wouldn’t be flipping and so they tried voting me instead. While I was 1 vote away from going home I’m glad I told them all to piss off and showed extreme loyalty to my alliance because I ended up staying anyway. Ryan left last round and I am so happy. He was the person I felt was the least likely to ever want to work with me since he doesn’t appear to be very strategic. If I get to the end I highly doubt he would ever vote for me to win and that’s fine with me. I do feel bad for him since he 100% left because of what he won in the auction. Crazy how that influenced who went home but I’m glad it did. Speaking of the auction, I won an advantage in the immunity comp which turned out to be complete SHIT. I had 3 extra lives in Touchy Subjects and those bastards still knocked me out second. They were not very smart in hiding who they were planning on voting for. I am SHOCKED that the other side didn’t use that steal a vote so they wouldn’t have to rely on Shon to vote with them. Either Shon really convinced them or they are just really dumb. I’m gonna go with both. I still feel like my best plan to get to the end is to ride with the 5. I am still very afraid of Shon’s idol and I don’t want him to be able to save it until final 5. I sat back and looked at my game as a whole today and I think I’ve played a great game considering the circumstances. I am so used to playing a chaotic game and to play differently is still very strange to me and it’s taking everything in me to not cause a stir and break up the 5. I think that’s what’s expected of me but I’m just not interested in doing that. I really have enjoyed getting to know and talk to Chris/Jeff/Jenn/Shon that even if I don’t win I’ll be happy if one of them does. I honestly don’t have a plan for who I want to take to final 3 should I make 5. I’m just going to see what everyone is thinking then because I don’t want to overplay and get sent home for it. I’ll just see how things are once I get there. I’ve started to get a little bit more loud and rude as the numbers dwindle so people will want to take me to the end as a goat. I hate that I have to do that now because I felt like I was in a really good spot but I don’t see anyone wanting to take someone to the end with at least 9 votes cast against them and staying by just 1 vote twice. That’s a compelling story for why someone deserves to win so hopefully me being an ass gets me to final 3 and I can try and talk my way into a win.
I’ve played an extremely loyal and honest game and I’m really so proud of it. I had a lot of doubts coming into this game because my biggest critics on twitter would always say I wouldn’t be able to last in a Skype game where I didn’t have as many prior connections. But here I am making final 3 in Worst Game Ever and at least final 8 of XTC. I was scared that I would go early in here so I made jokes about being first boot to soften the blow if what people have been saying for years turned out to be true. I’m glad they were wrong and it feels good to be able to tell them to shut up since I’m in the final 8 based SOLELY on new connections that I have made. I started out slow in this game and if I end up winning it will probably be most similar to someone like Sophie since she was also in a tight alliance that dominated the game. I’m definitely scared of the double tomorrow, but even if I go home during it I’m glad to have made an impression on this season.
