Alright...I'm going to see how I can manage from here..
It's always really hard when life gets busy and you take a step back from the game to then get back involved, but I'm going to try because I think I've been good up to this point and I just need to make sure I continue on.
I'm not looking for any sort of control here, I'm just looking to coast a bit under the radar right now. The fact I haven't been around to talk much to people might bite me a bit, but I need that I think. It's no secret Gina is hot on my tail, but luckily Rob is still in this game which will give me at least one round of protection as I fully expect all green members to roast him so hard when they get the chance.
Will I go with Rob? Eh...he's cool, but he's made his alignment so abundantly clear that I don't think it would do me any good. I would try to weasel him in with some green people, but that will be absolutely impossible. So I will sit in the middle. My vote for Red last round was my vote to do that. I wouldn't vote Nat/Pete or Rob/Eddie to make sure I kept both of those bonds in tact.
I think I can ride Nat and Pete a lot farther though so that is where I'll probably wind up going...but who knows. Right now I just need to talk around and see where people are at. |

Right now I'm all about mending fences and seeing where people stand.
I'm not as interested at the moment in making alliances, I'm trying to figure out which ones exist and where I can best fit myself.
I feel my alliance pool is rather small and will remain small if I keep attached to Rob. I'm slowly trying to remove myself from him, but at the same time, I know he'll always keep me in his loop and will be a vote for me so it's something I have to consider. Plus he has that crystal and that could come in handy.
Pete has come to me after keeping up with each other across tribes and has expressed he's definitely interested in working together.
Steph has expressed wanting to work together.
Rafe is continuing to talk with me and says we have a ton of planning to do.
Nat and I are still keeping up and looking out.
Rob and I have been keeping up and looking out.
I need to catch up with Morgan and see where she's at.
I'm currently trying to express my concerns in merge with these people but also just trying to see where their heads are at. Who knows what alliances are running around out here and I think it's smartest for me to not throw out anything definite that someone can relay back to someone else.
As it comes down to it, I just need to make sure I'm the last possible target. If I can just manage to stay in the shadows and not cause too many ripples in this first round, I might be ok. I know at least 1 person will be heading out the door before me...it's a nice security blanket to have Rob in the game, but also a guilty by association. It's definitely a good/evil situation.
As it stands, I'm unsure where to go, but as I catch up with people I'm hoping I'll get an idea. |

Nice. Rob's a fucker. |

You're close to both Rob and Natalie, but it seems they don't like each other. Classic survivor situation, you got 2 people you wanna work with who don't like one another. Which side are you leaning towards if you have to choose between Natalie or Rob?

I'm leaning towards kamikaze bombing them both!

So there is a plan of myself/Nat/Rafe/Pete/Rob/Steph voting out Corinne.
Do I trust this? I will when I see results, but I trust that if it's not happening, then Rob will be going before myself so I'm not really that nervous.
As it stands, these are all the people I talk to the most/trust the most in this game os it works perfectly. I have no doubts this is a one round thing, but I plan to advance to final 4 with Rafe, Pete, and Nat anyways.
I suggested it to Rafe and he was cool with it. Planning still needs to be made, but I'm fine with where I'm at.
Once Brenda is out, I'll feel better about my position. I'm hoping pretty soon I'll be in a power spot, but for right now I need to just follow. |

I can make this really easy for myself. All I have to do at this point is just go for about another half hour. Then that will give me plenty of time to make sure if anyone starts to build again, I can knock them out and then recover from my 15 minute wait to knock them out again before they can grab my tower.
I just need enough time to where I can hold other people off. It should be a good plan without me having to post for hours on end because I refuse to do so. |

I just ran into Kenny from Kalahari and we talk about the game and he references it a lot haha But yep! That green one should stay with me now and forever!  Unfortunately I didn't pick Penner and went with Boo instead. =( |

I know, right? That challenge was 4/18/12. One year ago as of a few days back. Seriously, it seems like Kalahari was more recent than that. So awesome. Remember when Michael told everybody that Bannedgie would be "indebted to us" and got blindsided since he never specified an us? Remember your angry rant to close the FTC? Remember how we all knew that Anthony was a huge challenge whore? Seriously, takes me back. |

But there's nothing special I can do with him. I miss playing PB as well.... And yes. What's funny is Anthony is Michael's co-host but didn't know it at that time. One signed up without the other knowing or something. |

Well, I'll be voting Corinne and just hoping this thing pulls through.
I assume if it wasn't happening that Natalie would fill me in and let me know Rob is going home, but all she's told me is that the girls all wanted to vote him out. I'm not sure who all the girls are because Rafe told me we had Steph voting Corinne, but now I'm not so sure.
I'm really interested to see how this plays out. If it doesn't work out in our favor and Rob goes home, us guys will be in deep trouble.I'm not sure how we pulled Steph in. I don't know how close Rafe is to some of these girls either, but I'm hoping it's enough to keep them on our side.
It took a little bit of convincing to get Nat to vote with us, I just had to promise her Rob wouldn't make it far in this game. That's a promise I can keep so I'm completely fine with that. I didn't plan to go to the end with him anyways.
This first round will determine the outcome for the rest of the game. I'm not sure what will happen, but be assured, someone is gonna be surprised. |

So as far as I'm concerned, everything is set into place to get rid of Corinne this round.
Apparently we've now added Gina into the mix which seems unnecessary and a little dangerous since all the girls hate Rob, but unless there is an idol, not much can be done. I figure Pete and Rafe added Gina into the mix because they still need to look out for their own personal games. As long as it doesn't screw anything up I'm ok with it. For now I have to be.
I've been talking with Nat and I will update more on that later as it's more important for after this vote.
I've caught up a bit with Morgan. She says she has no one but ultimately she hates Rob and thus wants him out. This is fine for now, but I want to make sure after this round she will trust me no matter which way the vote falls. I mean, I told her Rob was voting Kat just in case suspiciously an idol were to be played, but that's a small fib that shouldn't affect much. There's an easy out to it if this vote doesn't go the way I expect.
I'm also trying to get back up with Steph so that I can take this game deeper. Morgan, Steph, Rafe, Nat...there are some people in this game I need simply as votes just to ensure I last longer. Nat is the only one that isn't really expendable. Everyone else I will use for when I need them and then dump them as necessary. I've been beat around a few times in this game and I'd ultimately like these people to know that I'm not someone who should have been messed with. If I can draw most of these people in with a sweet charm and then dump them to give them the ultimate blindside and burn, I would love to make that happen. I just hopefully can do it in a way that will send a message but on top of that, give them the security in me that will make them want to vote for me in the end.
Since I've kind of dropped off recently and only now picking back up, I need to make some moves in this game. Maybe this is the downfall, that now because I've dropped off I need to make moves which involve burning the bonds I have made. But let's be honest, none of these people here are seriously planning to have me in the end with them, so now I need to make that happen for myself. |
