Awkward moment when someone in an AS game is lying about their game history :X
It dawned on me today for some reason that I think Alec or someone had mentioned that Ian played and won BB Defiance, Cochran's game. So that right there gives them some sort of connection (the host to contestant connection can be pretty strong). That would make sense why Cochran would know what was up, so maybe it was Ian who was leaking that Cochran was getting votes and NOT Coach. idk, either way its sketchy. I went back myself to Ian's confessionals and compared them to Matt's in BB Defiance and they look PRETTY similar. So this guy is lying about knowing no one, because a LOT of people on this cast have played defiance. So that is apparently another order to look out for.
For your viewing pleasure. I can obviously be wrong but either way if I'm NOT then I'll be pretty smug ngl. |

I don't really have much to talk about, hence the lack of audio confessional for this round. I am glad I am not at tribal but its annoying that I am likely losing an ally in either Steph or Sierra D. I WISH I could get rid of Cochran, and he has been getting on Sierra's nerves a LOT recently. He ratted her out to Fabio (who told Sierra D and I) that Sierra was spreading the idea of an anti-warriors alliance. Tbh I thought this was always a thing happening and everyone knew it but I just went along with it. Its going to be tough and honestly I think the best way to deal with it is to infiltrate it. I haven't told anyone about this idea yet because it might be stupid but I have a good connection with Fabio, and Brandon and I (I would like to think) are on pretty good terms. I had brought up to Fabio how the Pure grouping of Alec, Coach, and JT may be something to worry about to which he agreed to. He said that if anyone out of that warriors group wants to flip it would be them. I mean a 3 person block is a lot. So hopefully I can figure out some way to deal with that. The idea of an alliance with Brandon, Fabio, and Sierra seems so hilariously impossible it is ridiculous, but I would love for it to somehow happen. Both sides are basically talking crap about the other and it is a bit hard considering I am friends with both of them, but it isn't like I am hiding sensitive info from either side (except maybe Sierra and my dynamic with Sierra D to Fabio).
There are probably 2 options with how to deal with the future. Gather the floaters together to form an anti-warriors thing, or somehow join up with the warriors crowd. Now as long as Sierra is in I feel like the latter is impossible, which is fine because frankly I would much rather her be in, but it is something to note. I feel like either way I have lots of allies around be being eliminated which is a problem. Good news is that I won't care about lying to most of the people left! I am not usually that type of player (except in the ends of Epicsbb3 and GaE9 where I got final juror) who lies a lot to try and manipulate votes. However I may need to make an exception here. Sierra is (understandably) a bit mad that I was so against voting Brandon last round after he voted out Joaquin, and she is saying how they don't care about us and all of that. IDK about THAT, I feel like to an extent they do about ME, but to her almost certainly not, and I gotta keep priorities straight. I would like to do well in the game of course, but I am not going into CPN stratbot mode yet, and hopefully won't have to (unless its to someone not on my side in which case OOPS). |

I was worried this was going to happen and frankly not all that surprised. Apparently they were lying to Steph about the vote the entire time too, which is SUPER unnecessary with the numbers they have. This makes 3 allies in a row cut. Carter, Joaquin, and Steph. Not gonna let this slide, but I'm not even sure HOW to stop it from happening.
Unless...........
In TSG Luanda, I lost Jamie and then Ozzy in ensuing rounds. I wanted Shane out both times but that didn't happen. Now after 2 rounds, allies are being eliminated. In Luanda we were able to get past the bad numbers when we looked all but effed. The reason for that was emotionally we got the upper hand with Tom and Chelsea. Now, I'm not really sure how I can do that here. MAYBE, just MAYBE, I can get the target put on Cochran with Fabio and MAYBE even Brandon. I've been talking to him more again which is good but absolutely 0 game talk. I just need to establish that Cochran has been continuing to float and him leaving would be best case scenario for everyone in the game. Not QUITE sure how I am going to establish that, but it worked with Shane right?
I just hate how they have been lying to Steph so unnecessarily. She apparently had a length convo with Brandon talking about wanting to vote Sierra Dawn to win, and now this. I feel so bad because I knew it is partially out fault for having her be associated with us, and now all of this is happening. Honestly just need to somehow find a way to avenge her, although I'm not really sure how yet. Best bet I think is still targeting Pure, then getting the floaters together.  On an unrelated note I watched Survivor live with Sierra D and it was awesome. She's super great/funny (not that that is news) and it was just an all around good time. I'm glad I get to be working with her. |

So we have just about settled on JT. He is one less number for that Pure grouping, and he is someone who is 100% going to be against me in the future. I mean c'mon, I voted for him twice already. Like I said in one of my audio confessionals, this SORTA resembles the Shane thing last season. I tried to vote for him twice and both times allies went home instead. So now here I am getting rid of JT on my third attempt. I'm PRETTY confident that we have the numbers to do it, I don't see Sierra D or Courtney wanting to vote for anyone BUT him or Cochran. If he has an idol I may get stabby though, fyi.
 Cochran had messaged me about doing the challenge, and I decided to wait for a while before replying to the message. I have been busy all week, so i figured it wouldn't be hard to say I was doing schoolwork or something. So he and Sierra D were talking apparently and 1. he asked her why she was aligning with people who openly mock her (Um what? I don't think I have ever done that) and 2. instantly threw JT under the bus and suggested voting for him. Well Sierra D tried telling JT that when he came on later but he doesn't seem to believe her, oh well his loss.
 I talked to Courtney finally! She has apparently tried catching me on my Matty aim recently but I haven't been on that one. So she PMs me on the board and we finally have a convo. I actually really like her, I think she's great. I know she was close to Carter so she would probably be with us anyway, but I didn't want to assume anything. She had said that pregame wise she really was getting most of her info from Tom and Carter, who both have obviously been eliminated. So I filled her in on all the relationships I thought I knew about, possibility of Ian and Cochran together, JT, Alec, and Coach together as a sub-group, and she knew about the warriors thing already thanks to Sierra. I mean we are allies now right? So may as well tell her all that stuff. She seemed to appreciate it and I honestly can't tell if she also really likes me or is just very good at coming off that way. I'm sure she doesn't HATE me, but I'm not 100% certain what she thinks. Either way, she was perfectly ok with voting JT, so that was easy enough.
 Fabio had asked me earlier that day how we were doing in the challenge, when I told him we had 0 points. Cochran later logged on and told Coach that we had 0 points. He messaged me asking if we were throwing the challenge, to which I probably was TOO vague about because lbr it was pretty clear we were throwing it. Honestly I am still mad about him leaking stuff to others as soon as I tell him so i was just going to be as cryptic as possible without unnecessarily lying. So he asked who we would vote out, to which I replied "Well I'm obviously not voting Sierra" to which he replied "Well duh." So then I told him how we would probably end up voting JT, which he was quite obviously and understandably not too happy about. I had mentioned that JT hasn't been around all day to do the challenge and he said that JT was busy this weekend because of a homecoming thing. So I told him that I was worried he and JT would be against me anyway because I voted for him twice, so I was scared of that and wanted to vote him out because of it.
Now if I were Coach in this situation, I would have said that it was water under the bridge. I would say "Oh I understand WHY you voted JT and I honestly can't blame you. He wasn't around a lot and you obviously didn't talk to him, AND he is part of this "side" which I am sure you are worried about. But here's the thing, believe me or not I have actually wanted to work with you for a while just because I have seen you in games and we sorta play together but not like, TOGETHER, if you know what I mean. JT and I can easily be aligned with you and" blah blah blah you get the gist. Basically try and offer a deal with me so I would feel tempted to keep JT around. If I don't believe it he goes, if I do then he doesn't.
INSTEAD what happened was Coach basically said there was nothing he could do to change what I want to do at TC -_-. Well ok then, easy enough I guess if he isn't trying to protect him? I know that Coach is going to be after me, almost definitely more than after Sierra, but I feel confident enough in my current relationship with Fabio and even Brandon (and maybe even Alec? not as sure though) would protect me over Sierra for a round, which obviously I would prefer NOT needing that because that means she goes which is ultimately pretty bad. In the end if the Sierras, Courtney, and I stick together, that is obviously 4 people out of 11. We would need 2 more for a majority.
 One candidate for that is NaOnka. She is consistently praised by pretty much the 4 of us and she has been targeted by Coach in the past, so we can use that to our advantage. No idea who we can use as a 6th though. Ian and Cochran are possibilities but the thought of Cochran ever working with us is honestly laughable. So idrk how this is going to go for future rounds. I think we just need to hope 1 more round goes the way we want it, and then we should be set. |

I'm sorry JT, that's enough votes.
The tribe has spoken.
*snuffs torch*
It seems like vengeance was the theme of this vote, as I'm sure it may be for many other to come. The question is, who will be avenging who?
Step 1. Complete. And I think we ALL know the rest of this season is going to be based on vengeance lol. Coach for JT against likely me, and Sierra and I for everyone she put on that parchment. Carter, Joaquin, Brenda, Jamie, and Steph. |

So now with Joaquin and Steph back I'm overjoyed, but Sierra is worried because Brandon is claiming to have voted Steph back in and if he did then that means one of Courtney and Nay is lying to her about voting to bring in Steph. Its definitely an issue but at the same time I am not sure what we can do about it other than talk to each of them more and try to get something more solid with them going. If Brandon DID vote to bring Steph in it would be hilarious and tbh I can see it happening.
And Sierra Joaquin and I are now in a group chat when I suddenly got a flashback of Luanda where we had one, and obviously when it came down to trying to save me or Joaquin Sierra left it up to Varner and Chelsea and I got eliminated. So I THINK it is safe to say I am a little nervous about that lol, nothing major but is something that has resurfaced in the ole noggin. If/when I get eliminated directly/indirectly because of Joaquin being in the game, AND I was the one who brought him back in, it would be too funny. And sad. Very, very sad.  |

Its been a while since I confessed but that was because there was a plan to do a JOINT audio confessional with Sierra and/or Joaquin. We'll see how that goes but just as a SUPER quick update I am pissed at Steph for self voting (probably intentionally) and at Nay for lying to Sierra Dawn and Sierra (which like I cannot blame her for at all). Apparently Brandon is telling Steph I am the target for this round now that Sierra won immunity. I'm glad she won immunity otherwise she would probably be effed, but now I MIGHT be. I am still banking on my relationship with Fabio to keep me safe, but it was disconcerning when Alec came to me and basically said I would need to throw Steph or Sierra Dawn under the bus to stay safe. How about no?
But Sierra takes us to the treasure trove, and I spend like hours trying to figure it out. I had found out thanks to a lovely individual that in Tuvulu the numbers referred to days, which made sense. So I spent hours trying to figure out who won challenges during those days or something idk, closest I could fine was Rupert which Sierra guessed because I may be the target for the round and she is safe.
Now time to say I am THRILLED that I brought Joaquin back in the game if now solely for this. He logged on and figured out that the numbers may be the age of a person during their returnee seasons. Well I looked up one of my fave rep choices (Amanda Kimmel) and she was 23 on China and Micro, AND 25 on HvV. I WAS SO HAPPY WHEN I SAW THIS. Now the question is who should get the life raft because it is not transferable. For THIS round Sierra having it is good but she is almost definitely a target for future rounds. If I wasn't a possible target for this round then I would totally claim it myself. If Joaquin wasn't a possible blindside target then I would suggest he just gets it. Just need to get around to telling Sierra Joaq probably figured it out and then we need to decide who should get it. I am going to talk to jeremiah to see if I am actually a target for the round first, if not then I think I may just claim it. |
