Stranded in Suriname

Well with... whatever htat was... out the way, how are you doing in teh game? Give me the low down?

Hey Kelly. Hope you are enjoying your extra long break from challenges and all that. I've got a few questions for you to add on to Probst's if you don't mind.

How have you been feeling about the merge so far? How have you been getting on with your new tribe ? Do you have any thoughts about who could possibly be the first merge boot and what is your thought process for that?

Also, please size up your competition for me. How are you feeling about your chances of winning at this point in the game?

Yeah that conversation got a little awkward there. Sorry about that Jeff! I'm doing ok so far. I notice Liliana and Sophie are both playing really hard at this point. Lil has the upper hand as she's already put together a 7-man voting block to take out Sophie. While Sophie right now is working me hard to team up with her and Kimmi and Gabe to secretly try and take over the game. I don't think it'll work there's already too much negativity surrounding her. She's a cool girl, incredibly dangerous player. Hopefully everyone takes the easy route and takes her down early.

As for me, I'm hoping that no one still suspects how dangerous I am, it helps that the Survivor version of Kelly Wiglesworth is not very strategic or impactful in the game that I can squeeze by and make my moves without anyone suspecting. I mean I successfully got Kimmi to believe that Ozzy voted for her in our last tribal council.

I'm currently in the middle of 2 different alliances, 3 if you count the massive 7-man block that Liliana put together. The first alliance I'm in consists of Sugar and Flicka with David and Liliana in the sidelines. I really like this group. I feel like they're formidable enough in the game that I can use them as shields. Sugar I'm finding is a pretty serious game player and that's pretty cool. Liliana plays hardcore and it's always good to have someone like that playing on your side.

The other alliance, the big secret one that I cannot believe is still in effect, is the Meku alliance. The alliance I put together 15 minutes into the game. It blows my mind that we succeeded into making everyone believe that we're not a close knit group. My ideal final 4 scenario from a fan's perspective is to have this group be the final 4.

Hey Jeff! how was your thanksgiving?

The merge has me really excited, I've never been in a merge situation with so many people and I'm excited to see how things play out with a lot of the old tribal lines being split early evenly. My strategy so far has been leaning towards decisions that would give me more options as the game goes on. Right now the popular sentiment is to take out Sophie, who's perceived to be the ring leader of the old Pirai tribe. I personally think she's a huge strategic threat so i think that would be a smart move.

Right now I'm sitting back and letting the overplayers take each other out. Liliana definitely has been playing really hard which is impressive but I think that strategy lends itself well to burning out. The same goes for Sophie who is tremendously on the defensive at the moment. I know that I'm gonna need to have the big strategic threats out early on and see if I can work behind the scenes and pull the strings. I think I should be able to argue my way into a jury vote next to anyone so it doesn't matter too much who I'm sitting next to in the final 3. Right now I just need to make my path to the finals as clear as possible and that means letting the titans kill each other early.

What needs to happen for me right now is chaos. If I can make it to where everyone is paranoid and everything is crazy, then I should be able to squeeze by undetected. Liliana's giant team of 7 is great and if that successfully takes Sophie out on Sunday, it's going to lend itself well to chaos cause all I'll have to do is throw another phantom vote and someone who has all the power to their head, will get unhinged and start a witch hunt.

I don't know yet exactly where Marissa's and Jenna's votes are going on Sunday and I don't know yet how much influence Sophie has on them but a lot of this new plan depends on how big of an opposition Sophie puts together.

So your plan is to start drama and make sure it's not you it all falls back on? Tell me more!

Yep! it worked gloriously back in Kaikusi, now I just have to figure out exactly where allegiances lie in this new tribe so I can fuck it all up. I have several partnership deals with people where we promised we'd look out for each other too, so I'm hoping it all holds up. Right now I'm in cahoots with Gabe, Sugar, Flicka, Marissa, Jenna, Mookie, Kimmi, Liliana, David, and now Shane. That's pretty much most of the tribe, I'm hoping thats's enough angles where I can gauge everyone's thoughts and feelings accurately enough that I could mess with it.

The way I see it now, Sophie's intertribal alliance is not real at all and a lot of Sophie's deals have been made of fake promises. But everyone believes its real and it's an automatic target on whoever's names are involved. Namely it's an automatic target on Kimmi, Marissa and Jenna. So unless they figure something out, they're next to go after Sophie. There's also an easily emphasized target on Liliana simply because she's playing so hard right now and I don't think a lot of people really take her seriously strategically. But what if they did?

If I can convince everyone subtley that Liliana is a huge threat, it'll only take Gabe, Marissa, Jenna, Sugar, Flicka, Shane and myself to vote her off in the tribal after next. Even better really, if I can get someone else to vote in my stead and still personally vote with her therefore upholding the promise to not vote against her anymore. Although now that I think about it, Sugar has a similar promise. Hmm, I need 2 if not 3 proxy votes against Lil to take her out. So that would probably be Kimmi and I dunno, Artis maybe? I mean 6 votes is fine, Sugar, Flicka and I can throw our votes away to someone else.

<3 updates are so good with you.

by the way, those hidden immunity clues, were really well done. I applaud you for it. I even learned so much Suriname history because of it lol.

lmfao who told you how to woo me? It's working

So a lot of paranoia is beginning to set in and lots of lines are starting to get drawn. There's the giant anti-Sophie faction spearheaded by Liliana consisting of:

Lili
David
Sugar
Flicka
Artis
Mookie
and Myself

they don't know it but also part of that are Kimmi, Jenna and Shane. So that's 10 people altogether with Sophie in their crosshairs.

Sophie on the other hand, thinks that she has:

Marissa
Gabe
Kimmi
Myself
Jenna
Flicka
Shane
Artis

So as you can see there's a good ton of people overlapping. Their target is David. (Which I'm pretty sure Sophie's targeting him because of some residual bitterness about David making the final 3 in their original season over her, that's all the more reason to get rid of her in my opinion.)

Either way tribal tonight is going to be very interesting. I want to keep David because he's crazy loyal but if he's gone that leaves Liliana scrambling. If Sophie goes, that gives me both Kimmi and Marissa as rogues that I can fold in towards my cause. Decisions, decisions.
