 Hello lovely! Missed you last night, apparently, there was a lot going on! Tonight, Paul won the immunity challenge and James went out on a 7-2 vote. Let’s chat!

1.     Ahh sequences, the age-old memory game favorite. Tell me in three words how much you love that challenge.
2.     There was some last-minute scrambling after the immunity challenge, were you in on it? What did you make of it?
3.     James talked about some sort of horizontal totem pole tonight in tribal. Where are you on the totem pole? Extra points for drawing the totem pole.
4.     If you were a ravioli, what kind would you be?
5.     Be honest, did you ever buy the story that James and Morgan weren’t working together?
6.     Please rank (in text) the remaining houseguests below based on how much you trust working with them moving forward.

1. A little fun
2. WHAT THERE WAS????? 
Ya I think I was in on it. If ur talking about James trying to get people to go with him, he did ask me. But I didn't consider it because I didn't think at all he had people. And there was not point putting myself in a bad position.

3.  I never feel like I'm at the top.  Info feel good about Me Steph Mike Hali and Paul.......but I do know that they are probably in alliances with other people too. Mike Steph and maybe even Hali might be playing everyone.  

​​​​​Also I wanna explain something. I told Stephanie that I wanna vote for someone else in case the votes get piled on James and he has an idol. She said maybe Michelle. So I did vote for Michelle, but with James performance at tribal I assumed he doesn't have an idol, and I changed my vote to James.
But because Stephanie actually got 2 votes on her, now she might think it was actually me. What friggin sucks. How can my luck be this bad???  She was furious with me after tribal, I explained everything to her but when she read it she misunderstood. Her first message was VOCE. WHY DID YOU VOTE FOR ME????  I again explained everything and now we're "cool". I hope she means that and actually believes me. If not then I'm screwed.
Michelle messaged me right before tribal and said James is working on something but then the chats closed, so I would suspect it was her that voted Stephanie. But the chats closed and we went to tribal. After she said it wasn't her....

Michelle on the bottem. Because that's who Stephanie said I should throw my vote on. But if I could honestly get something going I am still wanting to work with her, I don't want her to be voted out. In fact if it's her name that actually comes up I might have to tell her, and that might blow up my game. I'll see. I've been playing more low key this time, and so far there's not been much heat on me.

I'll answer the rest later.

4. Are u serious?

5. No it made no sense. Why wouldn't they work together if they know each other, at least at first. And to be honest, who care if it was or wasn't true. It was 3 straight votes that took them out and Naseer because he was sort of connected to James.

6. This is really tough. There's no one that I really hate or have a major reason to distrust. I know there should be cause I don't think I'm actually anyone's #1.

If Stephanie believes I didn't vote for her then I'll put her at the top for now, because that would mean she does trust me too.

Sydney - we barely talk but ppl think we are together so maybe we might as well be working together.  I wouldn't be surprised if she comes to me saying she's scared for the next vote.

Mike - again I doubt I'm his #1, but we do talk quite a bit and I wouldn't push to take him out.

Michele - I think she's in trouble, I honestly believe she voted for Stephanie, If that was the case and I could somehow save her, and move forward with her Sidney maybe a Rodney then I think at that point she would have to be my #1. 

Which brings me to Rodney.....I should have actually probably placed him higher. I sort of forgot about him. We also barely talk but it does seem he's a straight shooter and there's not much talking that needs to be done. He was hurt to be left out of the Naseer vote. I explained that Stephanie didn't want that and so I just didn't mention it to him. I told him that was my bad, and that I should have. So I was honest with him, and once again if he believes me then I would be probably near the top of his list. And also because James lumped me and Rodney together at the bottom last night maybe it could trigger us actually working and trusting each other.

Paul - seems like a decent guy. Info think he thought about going with James at first but he never mentioned it to me
Hali - Actually she's not on the bottom I don't know why I didn't place her near the middle. I like her but I'm sure she's got a bunch of alliances going on.  I believe that's how she played last time. Also I'm sure she has a really tight alliance with some like she did with Lindsey last season, but that's not me. So actually I'll just leave her at the bottom for now.


Pretty much to sum up. Because of the almost unanimous vote it's hard to know who exactly is with who. I actually wished a couple of ppl went with James, it would have made things easier.

4. Are u serious?

We don't joke when it comes to ravioli on Stranded. 

[Voce]

Holy crap.

I just had a long conversation with Stephanie about game stuff.  So I totally see that it's Her, Hali, and Mike, and then....me. like a 4. I get that from all of them, but I always feel I'm like 4th in the group.  I thought Paul was also in, like a 5. But she thinks he or Michelle voted for her.  I personally think it was Michelle.  I think Stephanie would vote for Michelle next, but she also mentioned that Paul is a challenge beast.  I feel like me and Stephanie are really good right now, and she doesn't think anymore that it was me who put the vote on her.............

..........which makes this next part the reason I said holy crap earlier
I asked Rodney what he thinks about me and him being on the bottom according to James. And this dude is super straight up man.  We can get through so my info in 3 minutes rather than spend half and hour.  He legit said that he thinks theres a group within the larger group. Which would be Stephanie Hali and Mike and maybe Paul. 
He said he thinks me, him Michelle and Sydney and he also said Mike could do something.  I don't think it's a good idea to tell Mike any info right now because I think he'll tell Stephanie or Hali. He was totally on board and said with just the 4 of us we could get something done.  I'm much more comfortable with the 4 rather than 5 and a possible leak in info.
I told him if there's a leak it would be from Sydney to Mike and he said that Sydney was secure.  So that leaves Michelle who hasn't been told yet.  That will be Sydney's job he said.  Sucks cause I think I could sell it more but that's fine as long as she's on board.  If she actually voted for Stephanie that would be better actually.
The only downside right this minute is that there's no tribal until Sunday. And we all know that something will change until then.
Im down with this plan.  It only sucks that I feel like I've been getting to become much more trustworthy with Stephanie which I wasn't expecting a couple of days ago. She was 3rd between her Hali and Mike. Now she might be top.

Hey Lurkers/Weirdos here's an update on whatbmy options are.

So Rodney really wants to do the 4 of Me Him Sydney and Michelle. He says Michelle is down.  When this was originally brought to me I was very down to go this route. The thing is that I feel like Sydney and Rodney would be the duo running things, and that was actually ok for now as long as me and Michelle would form our own duo.  The problem is we haven't even talked that much. We barely to talked yesterday, and she didn't even mention this plan to me when we did. 

My other option is to do a 5(ish) with Hali Mike Stephanie and for now Paul would be the 5th. Stephanie does want Paul out tho either now or very soon.  I'm ok with that. We talked about moving forwards and we've even mentioned being the final 2. She says Mike and Hali are very close. So it would be us vs. them down the road.  I don't know if she's 100% serious as this being the final 2 or not. But me and Michelle haven't even come close to talking about that. So right now Stephanie is my #1.

If I go with Rodney I would probably have to push for Stephanie to go out next or else I don't know how I'm gonna explain it to her after becoming so close. And to be honest I would rather she doesn't go home next because then I wouldn't have any strong allies that I trust left in the game.  Stephanie thinks maybe Paul and Michelle might be closer than they appear (don't know if that's the case). Sydney and Rodney are definitely working together. And maybe Mike and Hali would be each other's #1. So Stephanie going doesn't actually help me that much. I'd be on the outs.

If I go with Stephanie. Then I have to push for Rodney to go and not Paul.  He would hate me and come for me. And there is also the bonus of him being my Bounty. 

There is also the possibility of pushing for Paul. Stephanie would still assume I'm 100% loyal to our 4. And Rodney would also assume that as well for our 4. It would make it 3-3 and me as the swing vote for the tribal after.  With both sides thinking I'm with them.  But then I wouldn't have the Bounty as it would be too late.

P.s I told Stephanie that Erika from last season has a paranoia problem. And that she was a major flip floppers. I don't think Erika will agree but just a bit of fun and revenge let's say.

Also I think I was gonna say something else but I forgot. I should start jotting my thoughts down as they come to me.

Frig man.  How do I get myself in these situations.  Rodney wants to take out Stephanie.  R u frigging kidding me??? I told him I don't want that and I think he is ok with Mike or Hali.  I want to take out Rodney.  But he's so confident that we've got this, I'm afraid he has an advantage. And I don't know if its an idol or steal a vote or something even more powerful.  I would 100% take him out.  But last thing I want is to go for him, and he survives.  I keep trying to plant in his head that I'm not sure Michelles on board. That way even if I don't vote with him and he survives, I'll just say I did.  Best case scenario is if Michelle also doesn't vote with him and then it's literally just him and Sydney.  If I knew for sure it's only him and Sydney we could split the vote 3-3.  Even if he has a steal a vote they would only have 3. We would get them on the revote.

This is also the first time ever I'm going into a vote and feeling very confident that I will not go home.  But if I get this wrong I also know he would come for me.

Because I've been involved in the chaos tonight I won't be surprised if I go home. Theyre saying they're splitting the vote with Rodney and Sydney. I don't even think Sydney knew.  I told her sort of by accident cause I misread her message.  It might very well be Rodney going home too which would be amazing.
