Stranded in Mykonos

Welcome to the second week!!! Hope you had a nice, calming weekend, because it's back to the meat grinder. As numbers get smaller and smaller, the pace will be quicker and the stability will start to collapse.

1. This challenge showed what your fellow castaways thought about who is here on the tribe with you. How did you feel about the results of who was picked for each question? Which ones were a surprise, and which ones were predictable? Were you happy or irked by any of the results?
2. Although it's a short season so it may not feel like it, we're in the middle of the season now. Does your strategy and the way you vote or ally with other people change compared to the first week?
3. This was a tie vote which was split 4-4 evenly, but the revote on Rodney was unanimous. Why did the vote turn out like this?
4. What is the best path forward for you to get to the finale? Who has to go out sooner than later, and who needs to be beside you? Could we get a rough boot order from you?

    - I think the results were all over the place, I feel like some people like myself answered more logically than how they truly feel. I was a little taken back at my name being in the “next to be voted out” but there was 2 others so I’m really not that concerned about it. 
2. Although it's a short season so it may not feel like it, we're in the middle of the season now. Does your strategy and the way you vote or ally with other people change compared to the first week? 
   - My strategy has stayed the same I think, I’m working with mike and talk out what we think would be best for our games. I’m surprised I’m working closely with paul and michelle, I didn’t think I would be able to talk game with them last week but that has for sure changed. Same goes with Stephanie, I wasn’t sure if she’d even want to work with me but we’re closely aligned. 
3. This was a tie vote which was split 4-4 evenly, but the revote on Rodney was unanimous. Why did the vote turn out like this? 
   - All day we were gonna go for rodney, and then after the challenge was posted of course is when things start to get crazy. I think voce tried to start some pot stirring with Rodney and Sydney. The funny thing is, voce didn’t even message me. I think I said something to him that might’ve thrown him off, something about michelle and paul. Maybe he didn’t know they were a pair? So then mike, paul, and steph are all worried because they’re hearing their name. To make them all feel comfortable, just in case rodney had a mystery box, we decided to split the vote between him and Sydney. We knew in the event of a revote, to then vote out rodney. He’s a wildcard, and had to go, but I’ll miss our random chats. 
4. What is the best path forward for you to get to the finale? Who has to go out sooner than later, and who needs to be beside you? Could we get a rough boot order from you? 
   - So I was thinking about this a lot last night and if everything could go perfectly my way, this is how it would go…    
   Tonight would be Sydney then voce, the next days paul, then mike. Final three being myself, Stephanie, and michelle.  
   I would just love an all girls final three, I think we’d all have a fighting chance, and maybe if I were to orchestrate this, I could have a leg up to win. 
   If any of the three guys were to get to the final, I just feel like everyone would vote for them because they’ve been doing most of the talking. Without them I could make more of a story on how I was behind the scenes. 
   So what makes this tricky is putting all my trust into Stephanie and michelle to not leak, and of course there’s idols and immunity necklaces to worry about this as well.  

Sorry if this is kinda weak, I’m super tired. I might actually update later when I’m back home, we’ll see!

Just took the leap of faith telling steph, then she goes offline  
This will either be really great, or I will be going home tonight! I don’t want to coast to the end, and it’s a trust exercise with steph, I just hope it pays off

Steph said she loves the idea, but was originally fighting the idea of Sydney going tonight. I think she wants to keep her to the end. I think I locked in me and steph comfortably going to the end together which is great, but if syd gets taken to the end by everyone, either me or steph would have to win these competitions over voce and mike, syd could still win them of course, I wouldn’t put it past her.

Mike was pushing back on going for paul first, says it could be bad for us. But I think it would only be bad for him, paul is his shield, not mine. I think we need to get paul out the first round. Something that is so underrated in this game is having to continue on conversations with people when you know you’re lying to them. You have to have so many back up plans. This is where the true snakes come out to play lol

Just got to read through that last round and found out your Immunity Queen status is thriving. 

Elated beyond words to see you killing this season. Hope it continues til the end!
