Final 9

[Boo Bernis]

Ok I'm going to break this down into a few bits here.

First off, Rafe left. I was pretty surprised although he didn't seem to be. I don't know what went wrong, but then I come to find that he told Natalie that the vote was for Brenda 10 minutes before deadline after lying to her the whole time saying it was Kat....Uhhhhhh WHAT?! WHY!?!?

What an idiot! I assume he did it simply to get a Jury vote for being honest? Maybe make Natalie not hate him when votes came through....but I know Natalie well enough to not reveal something like that when she has forms of power because she'll do something about it.

Sure enough, she passed the fire crystal to Brenda giving her an idol. Perfect.

So the only thing I found beneficial about it is that now I don't have to betray Rafe and won't have to worry about doing that to him at all in this game. So we can be BFFs until this game is over. But that's the ONLY thing that is good about what happened.

Rafe probably thinks he just screwed himself, but my whole game is blown up right now. I needed him just to keep me covered and connected for a bit. Now I have to scramble between sides.

Why did you decide to charge Stephanie's crystal?

Now, I spent time talking with Nat really trying to see where to go.

Her and I wish to be in the finals together, but after her move, I don't see how that's possible. It's fine though, it makes sense why she did it, but obviously she's now the biggest target and no one over here wishes to work with her.

This sucks.

I have Nat and Brenda both approaching me. Brenda is really working on me hard and I know it's because I give things away and she wants info. But I also found out after Brenda offered me a deal, hours later she went and offered one to Pete. A final 6 that consists of Brenda, Natalie, Gina, Pete, Kat, and Morgan was brought up by Brenda to Pete (apparently Nat had no idea) and now I can't in any way shape or form go to Brenda. At this point, the only thing that will save Brenda is crystals and idols. I didn't trust her at all, but now there's no way the trust can ever be built back. Basically I'm not sure her angle since she's in such a bad spot. I mean, I get that she's low on the totem pole and needs to make deals to rise up, but when you make deals with a bunch of people on the same side, it's going to come back and you will have no allies like before and no one will trust you. When I called her on everything, she just shut up....Silence is the most revealing answer at times.

I want to help Nat, but I'm not willing to throw my game away to help her. I'm basically guaranteed final 4 at this point (I think) so I don't know why I would throw that away because Nat made a move whether it was necessary for her or not. That's her game and this is now mine. If I can get through this round, I'm set up in a good way to make it all the way and that's something I'm not really willing to screw up whether Nat is my friend or not. Because if I throw it away for her, she's going to wind up making it farther than me when it should have been the other way around.

I'm nervous about what to do.

I got my side to split votes in case of an idol.

If need be I'll explain later.

Going to the Nuggets game and won't be back for deadline! WOO!!
