Woo, I won another immunity! Although I’m tired of trying so hard on these challenges when it seems like everyone else barely makes an effort. Makes my win feel cheap, and they must feel so safe in their alliance while I’m scrambling. Plus, no one can share in my disdain for the duck puzzle because they have no idea. Anyway, I’m immensely thankful for immunity because tonight’s tribal is gonna be crazy. I thought I’d talk to Steven first since he knows everyone better here, but before I even approached Steven, Ash comes to me with a plan of blindsiding either Steven or David. I don’t want to do this at all because I want to play a loyal game from here on out, but I play along for now. I talked to Steven about it and suggest we get out Ash because she’s sketchy and let him know her plan. We think she has the idol because Steven and I can’t find it anywhere! She’s the one with the most clues besides us. Plus, Augusto tried to convince me that Steven would have it, so I think he’s trying to divert attention away from Ash. I’d love to flush it tonight and/or blindside her. The problem is, Ash approached Katie before I got a chance to and now Katie is down for blindsiding Steven, so it won’t be easy. Steven is going to try talking to her later. I’d really love to work with Katie because me, Steven, and her were all in original Aogashima and they saved me our first tribal. No one would ever suspect us working together since that was so long ago. Right now I think the best plan would be for me/David/Steven vote Augusto and if Ash/Augusto/Katie vote Steven we can force a tie and hopefully go to rocks. Then hopefully Ash can go home and not have a chance to play the idol. I’ve tried being as convincing as I can so hopefully she believes me that I’m voting Steven. Looks like it’ll be another late night tonight watching tribal go down.

So this whole game I’ve been following other people. This is my first game so I didn’t really know what to do. From the beginning I got lucky since I knew Katie and Steven through my husband Chris playing in Easter Island, and they saved me from being first boot. After the tribe switch, the only person I could relate to was Stevie. He was good about initiating conversation when I wouldn’t, and no one else in the tribe really did that. We bonded almost immediately and searched for idols together. Later, when we switched and Steven was included in our tribe, I was conflicted of who I should be loyal to. It was awful winning reward and sending someone to Exile because basically I was showing Stevie/Steven who I trusted most. I tried doing it methodically and sending whoever was closest to finding the idol, but they had both searched an equal number of times. I ended up choosing Stevie because he seemed to have the most connections (and again, talked to me the most). However, he still scared me because of how well he knew people’s intentions when planning Jordan’s blindside.

I attempted talking to Steven at this point because I was interested in possibly voting out Stevie for his strong playing. However, I couldn’t be trusted by Steven because I had already shown my true colors. This started my endless vote for Steven streak, while I struggled to find a new group who I could trust since my only ally Stevie was voted out. I completely lost trust in Steven because he continuously lied to me. I continued to have no idea what was actually happening in the game and just did as others told me (although sometimes they told me the wrong thing to test me, which was annoying [though from their point of view, I get it]).

After Mike was voted out, Steven gets desperate and decides I might be someone he can work with after all. I decide to be cold because that’s exactly what happened when Stevie was voted out. At this point, Jenny, Katie, and Jordan have already invited me into their alliance (since I proved they could trust me when I voted for Steven and no one else did), and we run things. (and by we, I mean that they give orders, and I listen)

Now I finally win individual immunity so that's exciting. I was pretty good in tribe competitions, but have been flopping since merge so I’m really surprised. Not even five minutes after we find out I won individual immunity, Jordan says we should get David out. Everyone agrees yet again. Then Jordan makes another chat including David and Steven and says we're splitting the votes between Ash and Augusto. I'm tired of how Jordan thinks he can run things, and I feel invincible this week so I hatch another plan. Also, I feel like I should have more say since I’m the one who spent 12 hours playing Pokemon. I have evidence, thanks to Jordan making two chats, that Jordan wants both the Ash/Augusto out, as well as David, so I get them on my side. It helps that Jordan put so much trust in our alliance of Jenny, Katie, him, and me and gave us tons of information. I’ve /never/ had this much information the whole game. Jordan told us that he found a Sapphire idol, in addition to his intentions of who he wants gone. Plus, Ash/Augusto and Steven/David will be picked off one by one if nothing changes, so I’m basically their only chance in this game. First I decided to see Steven’s opinion of what everyone else would do because I literally have only made small talk with Augusto, and no-talk with David/Ash. Steven said that they would probably definitely be good with it so I went ahead and made a chat consisting of us and put my game on the line. I told them to say you’re doing whatever Jordan wants you to do, but vote out Jordan, we’ll have 5 votes, and Jenny/Katie/Jordan will only have 3 for David.

Tribal’s in about three hours so I hope everything goes smoothly. Jordan still doesn’t seem to suspect anything. Steven was good about talking in the fake-alliance chat and keeping up appearances. I’ve never been so stressed before, and every time I see a Skype notification, I think I’ve been found out. Plus, in other games I’m playing I’ve never actually got to make moves/hatch out my plan because others disagree or it’s not right to do at the time, so I’m wondering how this will actually work. Also, I hope Stevie appreciates me for finishing what he started and finally sending Jordan to jury (for real this time).

If I didn’t win individual immunity, I never would have done this. I figured I’d be taken to the end because I’m not a threat, but I didn’t want to make it to final tribal that way. Plus, it’s my first game, and it’s a side season, and I’ve already made it pretty far, why not take some risks? I’m hoping to actually continue next week because people should keep me since I saved their Survivor lives in the game…either that or I’ll be voted out since I can’t seem to remain loyal to anyone. I’m hoping that Katie and Jenny will be voted out next by us 5, and no crazy new alliances form. I asked Steven for him and David’s loyalty before divulging any information about the plan so I hope that it works out. If we stay together, then after Katie and Jenny, we can get out Ash and Augusto, but we’ll just have to see. Like I said, I still think I’m in a pretty good position if I can’t win anymore immunities.

ho lee fuck that tribal last night im still in shock........we are the biggest dumbasses on the planet like it's not one person's fault we were all just like lol yeah let's vote steven! without even considering idols im screaming im having flashbacks to kellegend wentworth's first idol play #justiceforkaren #ponderosamom

as my final confessional i just wanted 2 say that yall managed to turn a Relaxing and Fun Season™ into one with two consecutive blindsides and that's pretty impressive I'm not even being sarcastic or bitter that's pretty metal

SARA IS VOTED OUT

Okay! So! Basically, I've got Augusto and Gage. The only people I trust, the only people I'm willing to work fully. The three of us are going to flip back and forth so the 3 of us can make f3.

I’m honestly screaming???? I’m in a very good position. I’m in a solid alliance with jordan, karen, katie, sara, and i think ash is in it too. Steven, liana, gage, and david have all told me that I’m like the only ally they have. And i’m close with augusto. the only person who i don’t have a solid thing with is mike. like?? i didn’t even try to do this ?? it just happened ? i’m so !!

guess who fucked up again :   )

So practically today is supposed to be another blindside, meaning Stevie is supposed to go. But I'm paranoid and I think that probably they could blindside me. I don't know, everything is sketchy |-( I would cry if I got voted out and didnt use the Immunity Idol, but like I don't really wanna use it rn. I'm aligned with David and we decided to get out Stevie with getting Steven on our side, but everything seems so easy and like idk. I'm just SCARED HELP. I'm gonna (pray)

I'm not loving this 8 person merge like there has to be some x file shit going on here. there's probably a secret jury or idek Something is Fishy©. but anyway tho we'll go into it 4v4 as far as tribe lines go so idk what's gonna happen there but (Regan voice) We will see

It's probs gonna be me tonight tbh ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Ok, so Darien just linked to the idol page and Ash and Gage flipped the fuck out. Everyone sent me an idol guess (except Augusto) and I’m so slain by Darien rn, you have no idea.

Right now my closest allies are m'bae Jenny, Katie and Sara (and Stevie but that binch flopped)

Right now I legit have no info on idols, like I did at the beginning but a certain binch decided to switch up the tribes(:

I think my position would be solid if I can find an ally on the other tribe to flip so that were majority if not I'm fuckedt bc like I suck at comps but I'm a jury threat so it'd be easy to take me out

Firstable that's SO fuckedt up if we don't merge bc my bitch ass can only carry this tribe for so long altho I think I'd be like the Stephanie lagrossa of we lost like a bunch of times.
