EPISODE 10: IDOLS, AUCTIONS, BALLS, FREAKOUTS, AND I’M HOPING FOR A GOOD BLINDSIDE ~Sam

Ned won immunity which is awesome. Alex is back in the game which is not as awesome. Darian seems upset at me which isn’t awesome at all.

All things considered, I still think I’m in a good spot. Sam and I worked out a plan for tonights vote, where we’ll throw two votes at Josh, while hopefully Daisy, Josh, Ned, Carson and Darian all vote Alex. That way if Alex were to play an idol, Josh would be the one sent home, not who Alex votes for. If by some chance Alex and Darian are working together, the two votes at josh would still end up in a tie if Alex played an idol.

This should be a fool-proof plan, but anything can happen. And Darian probably wont be too happy at being left out of another plan.

welp! no immunity for me and im gonna be on a FUCKING FLIGHT

yeah fuck me/

i hope i stay

So, I guess Sam made a final three deal with Darian and Ned. That’s a little surprising to me since I thought Sam and I were a tight duo. Apparently not. If I had to guess, I’d say she thinks I’m a threat to beat her in the end, so she doesn’t want me getting there.

Darian told me all of that, and said he wants me at the end, not Sam. Because he thinks he can win in the end. Honestly I don’t see him beating me in the end. I’m happy to go along with his plan, if it means I actually get to the end.

Another good thing about this final 3 deal being revealed to me is that it clearly puts Carson on the bottom as well, and it wouldn’t be hard to get him to vote with me, and take out Sam.

It also really helps that I have a vote doubler. It may be worthwhile to use it a little earlier than Final 5 to get Sam out. Obviously not this vote, but maybe the next one. If Darian, Carson and myself vote Sam, and I use my vote doubler, I think she would be gone. Provided the plan is to vote out Josh or Daisy, who obviously wouldn’t vote for themselves.

I need to wait and see how tonight’s vote goes first. This is some very interesting information I’ve gotten. On the other hand, Darian could be making up lies to get me back on his side.

I mean low-key I’m like kinda shocked Alex asked me to vote out daisy which would be dumb for me tbh cause going with him and Darian just nahhh but also am a feminist hehehe

I AM THE KING OF CATCHING BALLS! Actually, Darian probably is. But if this were ball-catching combined with Touchy Subjects’ idol smashing, I WOULD BE THE KING! I won immunity, and I’m really happy because that means none of these snakes can backstab me for one more round. I’m guaranteed to get past final 8, which is always the hardest obstacle for me to overcome. I guess we’re voting out Alex again, and this is PERFECT- I had a plan with Sam to flip back and forth between alliances and eliminate our biggest threats, and we’ve been able to do it without even getting our hands dirty. First, we voted out John. Then, Logan quit- so that’s one of the guys’ alliance gone, and one of the girls’ alliance gone. Then we voted Alex out, but his advantage caused Sara to go home instead. We’ve gotten rid of TWO of the girls without even having to vote for them! Daisy STILL thinks Sara is the one who flipped and not us, which is practically perfect. Let’s see how long we can do this without anyone catching on.

They voted me out for an expired advantage and now they’re voting for me again yay.

Um since I know this will be my “last stand” so to speak I’m just going to give a big congrats to Drew/Brian/Jay for hosting this season. I may not have been the most active but it’s definitely been fun.

There goes me and my F4 advantage :P

Let’s talk about Alex showing up to the tribe chat 2 hours before tribal and trying to convince everyone not to vote him out. Because WHEW this is a mess. He’s all over the place! Saying that we should keep him because the jury wouldn’t vote for him is somewhat believable, but claiming that he would tell them to vote for someone else and not him is bullshit. He’s practically begging us to keep him yet saying that he doesn’t even want to win, and then saying he’s never “given” social interaction as if at least 5/8 of us haven’t attempted to talk to him many times just to be ignored. He barely participates or attempts to talk to any of us, and it seems like he doesn’t really care about this game or even wants to be here. And at this point, he might not even leave tonight bc this is a great opportunity to get out Darian. I just hope this whole interaction doesn’t shine a bad light on me.

A lot has happened in the hour. First Alex had a bit of a breakdown in chat and basically begged everyone to let him stay because he’s useless and has no shot at winning. And then Daisy told me Sam wanted to blindside Darian, and they had Ned as well, which gives four votes for Darian.

And then, Darian comes to me and says to switch my vote to Daisy, so we can flip the game on its head. What a rush, this is the kind of game I’ve been wanting to play all along! I just hope I’m not being blindsided.

So i’m voting for Darian tonight for a few reasons:

1. He’s said, since the swap, he wants to take me to the end, so he can win. That’s not a great way to keep allies.

2. Alex promised him his jury vote. If that’s true, fine but don’t tell anyone, like oh my god, how dumb are you?

3. He’s been making F3 deals left and right.

So Darian is the smart vote tonight. Alex really does have no shot at winning. He can be voted out at any time. I’m hoping I can trust Daisy and Sam. They’re getting pretty close though, so one of them needs to be gone next vote. Or before final 5 anyways, which should be pretty easy to swing with my vote doubler.

Hopefully tribal goes as intended and Darian is blindsided. He’ll be pissed and I probably have no chance of getting his jury vote but it’s the smart thing to do. I hope anyways.

WHEW THIS HAS BEEN A GREAT ROUND! IDOL, AUCTION, BALLS, FREAKOUTS, AND I’M HOPING FOR A GOOD BLINDSIDE!

So let’s start at the beginning with the idol! I was just waltzing through the forest on the lovely moonlit path (because we talked about the moon in the science class and I did this in the parking lot after class) when I ran into Abbey! We played heads or tails and I told her it was heads! It really was heads and she was so grateful that I didn’t lie that she decided to give me “another game of chance.” This came in the form of the Ruby Idol! There’s only 2 times I’m willing to play this and that is 1) when I have immunity or 2) when I KNOW I’m going home and there are no other options because this voids all of the votes and sends it rocks immediately. The only people who are immune are others with an idol and the person who has immunity. So this means that I can’t give it away and play on someone else because honestly that’s what I usually do with idols. I’m not telling ANYONE about it though. This is my own idol and I’m not sharing it with people. I especially don’t want anyone to expect me to play it when they’re going home and risk myself.

That brings us to the auction! I used my good old “put $20 on everything except for one item where the rest of it goes” strategy and once again I cleaned up. Unfortunately, I GOT NOTHING GOOD! As of right now. So let’s just start from the beginning.

The first thing I won was a soup/salad course. I hope it was chicken noodle soup because it’s all I like. Too bad it had NOTHING to go along with it! Then I also won the Entree. I’m picturing a nice chicken parm with a big heaping portion of penne pasta and a breadstick. That came with the opportunity to banish someone from the Forest until after tribal. That was easy because I literally asked in the tribe chat who doesn’t mind being banished because they don’t go and Josh agreed to it. That was awesome. I also won the dessert. I ate real good at this tribal. My dessert was probably a chocolate lava cake with a a nice scoop of vanilla ice cream (or mint chocolate chip or cookie dough but usually the lava cakes just come with vanilla). So that came with the DPOV! At first I was really excited but then I realized this isn’t big brother and I asked Drew if there was going to be a BB week or something. Instead of saying “shrug” or “we’ll see” or something to indicate that it might actually be a thing he just said “no. we’re not.” so like fuck at least it was a good dessert or else I’d be really disappointed my useless veto. Then the last thing that I won (besides my loved one letter) was something that will be revealed in my host chat. So I ran to my host chat to see what it is and this is what I get:

SAM

Would you rather put everyone’s cards on the table or keep yours close to your chest?

So I say that I would rather keep my cards close. AND THAT’S ALL I GET! Drew said I’ll find out what it is after this tribal but like still, I wanna know now!

Immunity was a live challenge where Drew slings his balls at everyone and people have to catch them. Darian was doing really fucking well, no surprise there but the dark horse straight man Ned ended up coming on top catching the most balls and smashing everyone else’s eggs. Icon, king, my final 2 Ned. And Alex came back from the game which was very unsurprising to everyone.

As soon as Alex came back I wanted to keep him and get rid of Darian this round. I wasn’t exactly sure HOW I was gunna do it especially since everyone was pretty set on Alex but I was like yes this is happening, this is when Darian leaves. So everyone was pretty much decided on Alex and people had voted and everything. Then two hours before tribal Alex started going off in the tribe chat about how dumb it is for people to get rid of him now and stuff and so I messaged him and was like “I know right? you’re a wasted vote so let’s not vote you out!” I must have made an impact on him because he was even willing to offer me some special vote that he got from the forest where he could cast 3 votes but they had to all be for different people. That’s pretty awesome but also I’m too far in the middle to take that advantage. I don’t want to have that much power and have to reveal myself. So instead I told him to play it. He’s gunna vote for Daisy, Darian, and Carson and I mentioned to Ned how I think Alex has a point its a wasted vote blah blah blah Darian’s a threat and so he was like ‘true!’ then we went to Daisy and said the same thing and she agreed. She went to Keegan like right away which I would have liked to be the one to do it but whatever, now I can make it look like Daisy’s idea to Keegan. He decided that he was on board and now I THINK the votes are going to be Ned, Daisy, Keegan, Josh, one of Alex’s votes, and I voting for Darian. Carson and Darian voting for either Daisy or Alex, I’m not sure which one. Then Alex’s other votes for Daisy and Carson. I’m so excited I really hope this works. I didn’t tell Alex that the official vote was for Darian but he’s not stupid he definitely knows its for him. So hopefully he doesn’t snitch and Darian plays an idol. If he does I’ll be so mad because I’m saving his ass. So yeah, this tribal should be good and I’m excited.

So i guess alex is going or thatsd what i hear hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm Oh well i mean idm cause i dont have super close ties with alex i mean hes a nice guy but yeah
