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?
When talking with Paul, he wanted to go for Sydney or Rodney - since they seemed to be the bigger question marks in the game. They were being tossed out as targets before the immunity challenge ever happened.
Then Stephanie was worried that Rodney may have an advantage, so she talked to Paul about splitting votes. We had the numbers to do it, so Hali said to put girls on Sydney and boys on Rodney. Then on the revote we would vote Rodney. The reason we ended up Rodney over Sydney was because of him being more of a wildcard.
The kinda shit thing is i think Rodney actually did trust and want to work with me. It just became hard to reason going against a 4 that I had built so much trust with. I was talking to Voce about the vote, and said that i was open to a 4 of us, Rodney and Sydney. I told Rodney I was hearing Sydney's name (bc i was), and tried to give him enough hope that he'd wanna work with me, but not be super shocked if it was him. In that regard i think i failed bc i imagine he's prob a lil upset with me. I prob got his hopes up too much.. i just like telling people what they wanna hear lmao.
So during that I also reached out to Sydney to see what she was thinking, bc i only heard about her wanting to work together through Rodney and Voce. Without much prompting she said that she was sketched by Rodney, thinking he was tryna flip the vote against her after recognizing it was the two of them on the chopping block. Now it became an even bigger task to work with that 4 because i would have had to reconcile Sydney and Rodney and i honestly didn't feel like it. Sue me.
I told Paul most of what i was hearing, and he said that he was furthering the divide between Rodney and Syd, and making them think the other was throwing their name out. Rodney said he was upset with Sydney throwing his name out, and I told him that i was just going to vote for her then. He agreed he'd be voting that way as well. And Sydney being sus of Rodney voted him. so we had a perfect tie.
Rodney was always the initial plan on the revote, but during the pre-tribal period he was throwing a lot of names out, including mike and paul. naturally they did not like that, and he remained the target for the revote, with Sydney just leaning into the goat role.
That's my POV of it all, think it sums up most of why what happened, happened.
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'm gonna be honest, i feel like i'm not playing a winning game. What have i actually lead? I've just gone along with plans being brought to me. I just don't think im gonna have a lot of jury respect with that. And then.. i do this dumb thing of being everyone's ally and telling them im with them... which obviously i can't do with everyone. So i just end up betraying people lol.. my least favourite thing! Like with Rodney, i told him i value honesty... while i was lying about him being the target and voted him out... why did i do that? lmao.
The people who are less friendly are gonna have less bad blood on their hands. I guess if im in a position to fight for my case i could just present it as a "ya i went there. I built strong bonds knowing i was gonna have to break them. i wasn't scared of the fallout" but idk how well that would go over lmao.
Right now it feels like the simplest/easiest thing would be me, paul, hali, and mike going to the end. But those are like.. the three people who would be the hardest to go against at that point lol! But AGAIN idiot that i am, i keep saying "i love this 4! Core Four all the way baby!" So if i go against that do i just piss them off? Would they respect it? Im such a passive bitch tbh. ugh.
I think (hope) the main thing i have going for me is that if everyone thinks im working w them they just wont go after me lol. And if that's the case then i guess any boot order would work just fine. But since you asked nicely i'll try to give one right now:
The person I guess i feel the least connected to now is stephanie? So perhaps her as a next boot. Though i think people will want to go for sydney - who im hoping still sees me as her closest person here?
I really do feel like Mike and Hali would have to go for me to have a realistic shot, so them being the next few out might be ideal?
Then I sit at the end next to Paul, bc i love Paul. Or voce bc idk.. maybe he's doing a lot of cool shit behind my back, but from my POV he asks me what to do/how to vote. So in that sense i should be able to beat him at the end.
I'm just a social player lol, we dont strategize in this house
