Episode 9 "Trick or Treat"

[Brenda Lowe]

I am so excited we finally merged! And I am loving this one round twist! I honestly love it when people are randomly partnered it makes it interesting. I totally lucked out and got my old BFF Steph. Though I will admit it could hurt us. I think we are one of three pairs that could win the challenge but we are also big targets together. I think individually we are not as threatening but when you put two social players together it definetly causes people to wonder. Though I'm pretty confident I could beat her in a challenge so I'm not to worried about it tbh. So now everyone is wondering which pair would be ideal to vote for. The upside of steph and I is whoever stayed would seek revenge for the other to go home! I suggested Corrine and Boo for the vote. One because I love watching Corrine come unglued and Two because I can't stand Boo he is such a rat. But I guess we will see.

I am pretty sure people will go for Kat/Morgan just cause their both just there really. It's an easy out and we send someone home 'no one' cares about. But whoever stays I foresee making it far into the merge. I'd prefer Rob and Eddie but I'm pretty sure Eddie would just give up. So that would not help me. Ideally Rafe/Gina would be perfect but I'd cry if Rafe lost and Gina stayed. So idk. Ill prolly actually conspire with my partner on this decision! Cause the rest of these groups are a hot mess. I honestly wouldn't mind seeing Pete or Gina (mainly Gina) go home. It would ease the target I kind of put on myself off me. But I'm sure some more plotting and scheming will happen later! Off to go dance around conversations with rob!

So this is gonna be a crazy round. It'll be like chaos erupts. So the plan is to vote Rob and Eddie at tc. That's fine but Eddie has no backbone and will just let Rob win. I've seen Eddie play before he's normally always a pawn. Sweet kid but total pawn. I'd hate for Rob to get a special prize and despite the many times he's found out I am not with him he still trusts me. I think it's cause I did a great job alienating him from all the others. All I did was bad mouth him a little. Well ok maybe a lot haha! I can't help but take out king pins. But strategically I'd prefer Boo and Corrine get the votes. Boo is borderline inactive and I'm positive Corrine could kick his ass. And she'd tell me what her prize was. And I am getting a little worried the Green tribe is still pretty right despite what Rafe tells me. If we weren't playing this game Rafe and I would be really tight. We are really tight but I have trust issues with him.

I know all about his little crystals and how he feels he trusts Natalie most. She so kindly let me read her convo. So you know it's kind of like damned if I do damned if I don't. I could be a total cunt and vote Rafe off. Or I could be a goat and keep him. I'm going to first blindside Pete and Gina after we handle Rob and his boys. Or maybe before we vote Boo. I really don't want it to be the girls Vers the nyonni. I'd like some wiggle room incase something goes wrong lol

[Brenda Lowe]

Oh Matt if only you were still in the game! He always calls me out on my shit I love it. He is right I am probably the most dangerous player in this game. I will explain why I am dangerous. There are four power players in this game. No Pete and Gina are not power players. They are both goats who just happened to luck out with winning fire crystals. Gina has no social game and Pete while he is funny he is social in small doses. The four power players are Rob, Rafe, Corrine, and Natalie.

Rob is on the outs so I would classify him as a dying power player. He is on his last leg and pretty much screwed cause I threw him under the bus. Rafe has two crystals. He is arguable the most likable person in the game besides myself. He could easily slide into the finals. Corrine is an aggressive player she is social and strategic. She could potentially push herself into the finals. Natalie is also in a great position in the game. She moved up in the girls alliance when Morgan outted herself as a retard. And Nat is also tied to Nyonni. She is also tied with Kat and I.

Now why am I dangerous? I am closely aligned with all four power players. I could easily spare Rob and keep him around if I really wanted. I could take Rafe to the end of this game. Or I could go with my girls alliance and dominate. I have my fingers in everyones pie. This is why Matt always says I am a social mastermind. Cause I just smile and charm my way into everyones alliances. And I gather intel from all sides. Now these next few rounds I will have to decide which alliance I want to go with. Or I could be a total cunt and flip flop between all of them and eliminate the power players.

Now being super social is a blessing but its also a curse. Cause no matter what I do I will be screwing over three of these four power players. So I am really going to have to charm the pants off this jury if I get to the end. The other downside is while right now no one is targeting me I am sure as we grow closer to the end I will become a target for my likability so I am going to try and take a back seat for the first few rounds and watch these people do my dirty work for me!

[Brenda Lowe]

I feel as if I should come with a warning label! Warning she's the devils candy! Lol I crack myself up. But really honestly I'm totally harmless and I'm practically a saint! I swear . Why do I feel like I should come with a warning label? Well thanks to my craftiness I have 5 of the 8 colors and I know 15 of them aren't in the combo. I wasn't really gonna do the color thing tbh but if people are willing to throw info my way then hey why not? Plus I bet I could totally get Natalie and Corrine to make an idol with me. Though I plan on holding that bitch!

[Ted Rogers]

You were telling me that people lied to you about colors, what happened with that?

[Brenda Lowe]

Sorry to disappoint you but I was misinformed about that. So false alarm there will be no deaths tonight! But can I just say I have a gift. Something about me gets people to trust me. I love it! So I totally manipulated Rafe into telling me he has his crystals. I didn't do it cause I wanted him to tell me cause I already knew he had them. I did it to see if he'd actually trust me enough to tell me. And he told me about both. So he is ok in my book. He also told me his prize is a fire crystal so he will prolly approach Natalie for an idol. See flirting has its benefits. I'd say I only flirt with Rafe but I'm pretty sure I flirt with everyone. But in my defense I don't consider it flirting I consider it socializing!

Corrine gave me the colors Pine and Kelly. Rafe has given me Salmon, Pumpkin, Peach, and Mustard. Natalie gave me Hunter. And I found Sea Blue myself. So this whole time I have been keeping a tally of all the colors. I've gone to Rafe, Steph, Natalie and Corrine for their answers and given each of them a color or two. I knew this would be probably the easiest crystal for me to get. The challenge almost requires you to be a social player. And it'll prove how well or how bad you are at it. And see flirting has its benefits

[Brenda Lowe]

Really honestly are you surprised I got the wind crystal? Cause I'm not! I have this very special talent it's called a social game and though ill admit a lot of times it works against me but this time it hasn't yet. I have this gift of figuring out who came to play and those are the ones I cuddle up to. It's a strategy that works well. It's like the Julia Roberts movie sleeping with the enemy. Most people fear the shark but I'd rather make the shark my pet and let them devour my competition cause by the time they realize I'm dangerous it'll be to late. That's exactly what I did with Corrine and Rafe. I love both of them personally but this is a game. Game on baby. And Natalie well I wouldn't say she's my pet but we've been playing together for years. She needs me as much as I need her.

But really can we take a moment to celebrate my victory? I beat out both the crystal nazis! Yes I'm referring to Corrine and Rafe. I may not win a fire crystal but I'm clever enough to use my relationship with them to figure out the combination! Does that make me a villain? Probably but I've embraced my inner villain. Now don't get me wrong I'm not getting cocky cause when rob comes back ill be in hot water. But I'm hoping my knights in shining armor will protect me. And if not ill just make an idol with Corrine and Natalie and go from there. I wouldn't mind Idoling rob out. It'd be funny. But that's all for now!
