I guess it's about time for an update and confessional right?
Um starting this game on Thebes was alright I suppose. This tribe was weird nobody talked all that much and alliances were not being talked about. I suspect Marty, Jeff, and Sydney have something going and I might be someone on the botton of the totem. I get along well with the girls Syney, Erinn, and Candice. The guys are hard to talk with for some reason and it becomes more and more frustrating with each day. At this point I wanted a swap and funny how what you wish for suddenly comes true haha...
Then we switched and I ended up on Karnak by random draw. Can't say I was happy about it, I rather have been in the 4-3 majority then the 4-3 minority. The only good news was Jenna and the old Karnak's had a falling out and was able to use her to our advantage and vote out Sierra. This was also the round where Sydney used 2 of my coins and the one Jeff gave her and we created an idol. Gives us a bailout for later should we happen to need it and we will we're big threats. I was a little disaapointed Sydney won the tomb trip next round and gave her coin to Marty boo! She can't be pleasing everybody and it's obvious she's trying to do that and she's going to have herself cornered in a few rounds where she'll have to backstab some people, hopefully not me.
Now the merge. I was surprised we merged this early and rather have merged later on at around final 10. I was in a better position on the tribe then being now with 12 people some who I haven't met. We had an auction and my strategy was win nothing and help others win items. This is why I helped Marty and Kelly win their tomb trips, this keeps the target off me with people not wondering what I might have. We vote 2 people out this round and people are saying Candice and Edgardo. I love booting Edgardo since I haven't spoken to him, Candice not so much. I'm debating how to deal with this situation and thinking of giving Candice my idol to survive and just not sure it's worth the trouble as she might leave in the next vote. I think for this to be beneficial to my game I would have to give Candice the idol, have her vote Marty or Jeff and it might work out. I haven't seen Candice on all day and it's becoming a waiting game for her. I can always hope Kelly or some other allie tipped her off and she plays an idol and votes someone else out lol.

LOL at them blindsiding Jenna. Dumbest thing I've seen in a game in quite a while, she was hated and no threat and would have been served if they got me or Marty instead. Jenna had it right in her final words saying they aren't playing strategic. This tends to happen when you have friends playing together and nothing besides a bunch of cliques. Half the game doesn't sign into aim ever and funny how some people flip only because their friends are there. I guess I'll have to play the idol tonight now as Marty or Me have to be the next vote and then win all the immunities or hope for some clique breakdown. Candice pissed me off trying to say it was a last minute switch and she couldn't tell me, if you're going to lie at least come up with a better story then that. We were the only ones on at the deadline last minute switch my ass. I'm in about the worst situation now and nothing much I can do about it other then try and sell out Marty or play the idol.

I gambled right and saved the idol. lmao at Marty and Kelly wasting theirs in the process, you can't be panicked this early in the merge or you'll never make it. I suppose the good news is 2 idols out of play already, the bad news I'm in the minority with little to no allies and nobody talks to me lol. I say if I can survive the next 2-3 tcs I'll be fine since this little clique groups have to fracture soon. After tc Sydney attacked me and it really pissed me off at first but then I had a good talk with her. I can't believe she thought I gave Kelly my idol when I've only talked with her once, news flash fools I don't give idols away when they are in my possession. Then this whole I've been lying to her the entire game and hurt her, the girl needs to realize I have lied very few times for this stage of the game which is far below my typical game standards. It might be time to consider putting plan "Sash It" into effect. Make end of game deals with every single person and get myself to the end that way. With what I'm working now it's win 6/7 ics to make the end and that's nearly impossible.

Great I lost immunity and I don't get how Sydney's score is even possible. She beat my time by nearly 30 seconds and said that was her first attempt LOL. When I got my best time I didn't miss a beat and nobody else had any unrealistic times. Makes you wonder if her score is legit or not . Then she sent Marty to the tomb instead of me, bullshit it's about time to just Sash IT and start making deals with everybody. I'm going to play the idol this round no doubt, they have to be coming for me with Sydney immune and Marty at the tomb and on top of that nobody is talking to me. I'm at least going to make the f9 and extend my game one more round and hope I go on an immunity run or something.

I played the idol and wasted it which sucks and can't look back now with any what ifs This round I've I started to try and sash it I offered Candice the sky anything she wanted from a finals deal to a no vote deal and she shot me down. A little bit frustrating but I did manage to get her to agree to not vote me this round and to help me out. Better then nothing and I will try and get a couple more of those if I can in future rounds with her. I then offered Fabio anything he wanted lol. The problem is this fool doesn't trust me far as he can throw me and just thought I would at least make an effort with him. I told him I would make a finals deal with him and be true to it and would keep him from being targeted and getting any future votes. I think he was nibbling on it for a moment but I don't think he was all that interested. I talked to Edgardo for the first time today and he's very nice and wish I had talked to him before. From the challenge and the way the game is shaping up he knows he's on the outs after us and needs to make a play otherwise after Me Marty Sydney are gone he's next in line. He seems to want to vote with us, problem is even with him we're one person short of pulling anything off. This leads me right back to Sydney and Marty basically where we're just sitting ducks and just a matter of time before we're all gone. Sydney wants to vote Erinn, Marty says to vote Brady that Edgardo and Fabio are with us. I guess I'll just vote Brady and pray for a miracle, I'll most likely be the person going and jury duty isn't looking all that bad right now. And lmao at being the one most likely to go to prison. I'm no convict lol

What to do I'm irritated with this game. I always come in second in all the immunity challenges and then I go to the tomb and end up with t-shirts or cursed coins. I had this big plan of giving coins to somebody where I could make them an idol and then in exchange they would guaranteed my safety for 2 rounds. With the cursed coin, plan shot and most likely game over boo! I'm starting to think of some type of retaliation for my poor luck and fortune in this game and I'm probably not even going to vote at the tc and just take a self vote. These people aren't even worthy of getting my vote. It will be even funnier if they didn't vote me out but hopefully they will and then Sydney will go on an immunity run and win the game.

Yet again to my surprise I'm able to survive tc while voting in the minority and not being kept in the loop what's going on. I'm upset Sydney is out and I'll miss her greatly but sadly I knew it would be me or her gone. I knew that plan of voting Brady wasn't going to work and surprised they voted Sydney in a way, they are crazy keeping me around where I can easy pull myself an end game immunity run much like Brett or Fabio did their seasons. This round is an absolute must win immunity and I'm going all out otherwise bye bye. I'm the last person left in my alliance and haven't had anyone really approach me with anything I can take seriously. I have talked with Brady and Edgardo some and I wouldn't mind working into some f3 with them, however it's all going to depend on if we can accumulate some coins at the tomb since that's my bargaining chip right now. My plan right now is simple, win immunity first and go to the tomb. Next, get some coins and make idols with either Brady and Edgardo. Try and maybe take out Fabio or Erinn. All my deals always get shot down, I'm looking forward to seeing if one will finally land if I get immunity I'm still kicking in this game and somehow have to find a way to the end of this game for Marty and Syndey.

I felt bad Brady left in the re vote last round, but I'm grateful he at least passed his coins over to me beforehand. The change of tb rules came one round too late for him and wish there was a challenge showdown between Brady and Fabio, now that would have been fun to witness. Still unbelievable with Me and Edgardo going to the cursed tomb that we both got cursed coins last round, what are seriously the chances of that lol. The tomb has been nothing but a curse for me this entire game where it's been more trouble then good and one more cursed coin and I cannot vote at the next tc grr. This round I won immunity again and it was do or die. Back to back wins is going to put a target on my back, although I was already slotted to go home next so what the hell does it matter. This time at the tomb, I was able to get a coin and that's enough coins with the 2 Brady left me for an idol! Edgardo got himself another cursed coin, now he's cursed when he goes there lol. So now the big decision do I keep the idol for myself and guarantee the final 4 or do I give it to Edgardo and give him life in the game? Those were not all my coins to begin with and I think Brady and the jury would consider me greedy if I kept the idol and that could hurt me in terms of jury votes if I made the final tc. I'm more then likely going to give Edgardo the idol but I'm obviously going to think this out first haha. I want to possibly vote Kelly this round, in the event she has an idol and she's my biggest challenge threat I feel. Then there is Fabio who I wouldn't mind going where he's full of lies and trying to play both sides but bad at it. Erinn has this personal grudge about me for voting her when we had no deal in place and then Candice is so smug where she doesn't need the feel to talk any strategy with me anymore. All the options are open and all depends what mood I'm in later today. Oh yeah and for kicks I sent Erinn a pm last round to work together until the end and I'd do anything she wanted. The bitch didn't even pm me back anything so she can suck it far as I'm concerned.

We didn't exactly idol Kelly out like we wanted the last tc and that was one insane tc but it did flush her idol out which might help a little, could also make no difference at all. Lately it's become immunity or bust for me, but I didn't keep my challenge streak going and now I'm going back to tc unimmune and in very vulnerable position. Edgardo can't vote, Candice has give him a cursed coin lol. My play for survival is simple it's planting to them I have an idol and since it's the last round an idol can be playing I'll obviously be playing it. I already planted this seed last round with Candice saying that I had an idol and would have given it to her had I won this immunity challenge. Obviously I had no idol but I had to make her think I did. Then she could spread it to both Kelly and Erinn I have an idol and they target Edgardo lol. Will it work? Who the hell knows, all I know is I've done it before and it's worked and can only hope none of them have seen the play before. People are scared of idols and even the intution you might have one will make them lay off. Unless you have some guts you'll go the safe route and we'll see what kind of guts the girls have. I'm most likely going to have to vote Edgardo now based on him not being allowed to vote and Candice wanting him gone and it gives me some extra breathing room in case a vote comes my way from Erinn, Kelly, or both. I'm hoping it's me vs the girls after tc and I'm able to not let an entire gender down lol. Should everyone wonder what happens after tc and why I didn't play the idol I'm saying I wanted to do the Russell from Samoa or Parvati from Micronesia and hold onto the idol for a solveniur. Some of me thinks this won't work and I could be off to the jury, it would be stupid keeping me around if you think about it as I have several supporters. We'll see what happens but I'm expecting to go in a way lol.

The tc tied, smart move on my part voting Edgardo instead of Kelly or Erinn much as it pained me to do so. Then I had to win the tb challenge which was a puzzle and luckily for my sake I'm good at those. Edgardo when you read this later I had no choice on this vote and hope you're not too upset, had you been able to vote then I would have voted with you but when you got the 3rd cursed coin and couldn't vote that limited my options and chance of survival greatly.
Now the final challenge where it's win or bust again. It's almost a miracle I made it this far and good thing I aligned with Candice earlier in the pre merge or I might have been gone long ago. I'm going to have to smooth over a lot of things with Candice especially when I told her I had an idol I was playing and then there was obviously no idol. Time to smooth that over and get ready for the final challenge which again is do or die and hate how that is always the case lol.
