1. Could you hear the screaming from the lurker’s channel during the second tribal tonight?
Oh that was u guys? Y'all I saw the first Paul vote and was immediately like "oh fuck" - i mean it does make sense why they thought it would be a good idea. Since i was telling paul that i didnt think we'd have an easy road going against mike and hali at 4. But we decided to be nice little playmates and hold true to the "core four." Well, mike and hali decided to take the first swing. Woulda been smarter if u know, there wasn't a tribal immediately after lol. Since now they had to deal w a pissed off michelle holding an idol and immunity. If the two of them stayed strong to the 4, then worked with whoever was the straggler at final 5 i think it would have been smarter. Again, what do i know i got bamboozled.
SO! had i not won immunity im not sure what i would have done. Prob play the idol on myself bc i would have been nervous since everything i once knew turned out to be a lie! Word Scrambles are my kryptonite so i was so shocked when u announced that i had won! Made the decision to play the idol on Sydney a lot easier. I also think it may have worked out for the best the way it happened; me giving her the idol vs playing it for her.
Had i done the former, im not sure if Voce would have played his. Probably likely tho, since it expired. But he was in the plan to blindside Paul, and was rewarded with having his name written down by the people he JUST worked with. Brutal tbh.
Me giving it to Sydney gives me slightly more wiggle room with hali and steph, even tho i don't plan on actually working w them. Keep options open tho i guess. Since I didn't publicly play it on sydney it looks like i was just along for the ride with what happened. If i get the chance to speak my case to the jury then i can say how i had the idol initially. Not sure it would be some big respected move, but hey its what i did and im delusional enough to own it.
Also with Sydney not being able to load the photo, im not sure if that prompted Voce to be like "oh damn lemme help her out" - but the optics of it all was hilarious. Like im imagining Sydney trying to find her idol in her bag, Voce takes pity and just goes "here fine, have mine for urself", Hali/Mike/Steph smirk knowing it's Voce's ass on the line, then Sydney goes "wait i found it! Gonna play it for Voce then!" What a fun double tbh!
And it helps in a way; i wanted mike out - and i got to do it in a way that feels justified since he swung first. So.. he can't be bitter <3
I'm glad there's been some excitement tho!! that double got my adrenaline pumping!
2.Who’s the biggest liar left? Who mostly tells the truth? How does this affect your end-game strategy?
EVERYONE! everyone is a self-interested snake. No one can be trusted. We all tell half truths and full lies. Fuck it i'll say i'm the most honest one (prob most naive) - since i know my own truth!
End game strat is gonna be idk - lets say that Sydney and Voce are being honest about wanting to go to 3 together, makes it so that we have the numbers now. Logic says that im not a jury threat compared to steph and hali so they should wanna go to the end with me. Honestly... everyone should like lets be real.. my game has been mid. I'm not mad at it just telling it like it is! I've mostly followed along with plans, while maintaining bonds w most people. But bc of those bonds, my jury management is shite bc i come off as just giving false hope to people going out the door. I wouldnt be surprised if i have some bitter betty's against me in ponderosa.
I'll just try hard in challenges bc i guess i'm pretty good at them? Between u and me i think i'm just okay at challenges, and that everyone else has been meh at them. Like the word scramble i should NOT have won... so lets uh.. ride that energy to the end lmao.
I'm terrible at knowing what a jury respects tbh. I tend to vote for a mix of who i was closest to in the game/who played me the most. Ex. between Paul and Mike, i'd lean Paul bc we're pals. Between Mike and Voce, i'd lean Mike bc he bold faced lied to me and i like that shit. So if this jury is cool like me then they shouldn't care that i lied to them. But not everyone can be as cool as Michelle.
I think i answered this question enough, might have lost the plot a bit i tend to ramble <3
3. What’s your best move here? Who are you working with the most closely?
My best move would be getting to final 2 and winning.
Suppose now i'm working closest with Voce and Sydney? I've backstabbed and been backstabbed by everyone here, so fuck trust. Let's just do whatever may get me that one step further.
My relationship w sydney is wild, bc i was working with her, she wanted a f2, i voted her, gave her my idol as an apology, found out she's the reason i had the idol in the first place, and now we're telling each other we're f2 again. I'm gonna take that with a grain of salt, I won't be shocked or upset if anyone left bands together to vote me out. So gonna go with what I think makes the most sense for those involved - and going to the end with me makes the most sense. I'm a lump! An overly sensitive, backstabby lump! Who wouldnt wanna sit next to me! And if they think im a challenge threat great! Lemme be ur workhorse and keep immunity away from the people we really ought to vote out.
I personally don't respect people who comp-win to get to the end. It's fun to watch sometimes, but i don't respect it as a strategy (bc its not strategy). So again, if that is the perception i have PLEASE sit next to me at the end, i'm just a dumb little girl :)
p.s. Your faithful lurkers would love a video!
... we shall see. I'm terribly shy oop
