Thank you all for a very entertaining and absolute melodramatic kinda night.

1. Who?
2. What?
3. Why?
4. How?

Thought I'd give it short tonight and give you guys an easy confessional to recover and vent in. Besides I'm sure you all have your own words about the events leading up to last Tribal Council, where Naseer left in a wild 5-3-1-1 vote.

WHEWWWW

Last night was super crazy. I cannot believe that James fooled me and mostly everyone else with that fake idol. It was such a good move. 

Honestly the only reason I even started posting about how rude or insulting he was was just a game ploy. I just wanted people to see him as a bully. No one wants a bully to win. 

In all actuality I thought it was such a brilliant play. I mean it got him to stay! But it was such a big mood that if he were to stay he would win 100%. Can't have that. Gotta get him out. 

I'm feeling pretty solid with Mike. Dude could be playing me 100% but I feel tight with him. And honestly it doesn't make sense for me to go against him at all anyway. 

I feel good about Hali too. Obviously Michelle and I are good and I think we can round out the five with Voce and Stephanie pretty easily

Okay so here is how Paul sees things right now. For better or worse, wrong or not, this is what my gut is telling me:

Mike and Hali are super close. Michelle and I are pretty close. I really do believe that we all feel good with each other. I think that Mike has A LOT of side convos. he's a chatter box I keep seeing his post numbers go up so I know he's in his confessionals scheming. Hopefully I'm a part of the schemes. So he has solid relationships with stephanie and probably voce too. But for now I do think he is with us. 

I think that Hali is even more with the core four than Mike is. Michelle feels along for the ride with me. She's not been very aggressive at all and maybe that's on purpose but it feels like a distance. But I'm putting my trust there. 

Stephanie just wants james out and is willing to work with us but I feel like I'm winning her over to where she might actually choose me in a situation. Voce feels very distant but feels pretty connected to stephanie but I don't want him here long. 

Rodney I want GONE GONE GONE. period. Sydney is unfortunately just nowhere to be found.

Alright last thing. Here is my current preferred boot order: 

James
Rodney
Sydney
Voce
Stephanie
Hali
Michelle

Mike and I final 2. i have a better chance at f2 without michelle. and I gotta separate mike form hali and try to convince him that not being with hali looks better for him too. 

And my trust ranking would just be mike on top and then the reverse of the boot order so: 

Mike
Michelle
Hali
Stephanie
Voce
Sydney
Rodney 
James

Regarding the challenge: 

Damn I wasn't even thinking I should have made sure they were right. 20 minutes is a long time. Someone is going to get all of these right in that amount of time 100%. Oh well. Honestly I've already won once and I feel safe this vote. Shouldn't push it. 

[Paul]

FUCKKK I should've thrown it. I know lurkers are screaming that at me right now. I'm sorry I just hope I can get James out of here and then hide in the shadows of that. Fingers fucking crossed.

[Paul]

1 down. 6 (or 7) to go.
