So, that was a tribal council.

1. How do you feel about David going?
2. How do you think the PII changes the game?
3. What do you think is going to happen going forward?

yes that was a tribal council indeed. It was all madness and everyone yelling at each other, THIS is what I've been waiting for all season! IT was DELICIOUS!!! Shane blowing up was the best thing ever and it's exactly what I wanted. Everything's crazy chaotic, Liliana's outed herself as a mastermind, everyone's got Sophie in their eyes (AND SHE"S STILL HERE!) everything was just glorious. Sure I lost David to the kerfuffle but I gained tremendous loyalty in Shane, the ultimate goat/shield of seasons 2 and 4. It was magnificent.

Of course had everyone just fucking listened to me and called Sophie's bluff, I'd be in a much better spot. Everyone just sort of chickened out. I'm playing the game with a bunch of pussies, I thought this was a second chance season? They did not even have the balls to just stand their ground and stick with the Sophie vote.

I like that Sophie's pretending like keeping her in the game will keep it entertaining, I personally hate this holier-than-thou attitude where just because someone's not as loud as you automatically means they're not playing as hard as you. I personally cannot wait until she gets epically blindsided with that idol.

Moving forward, I would like to just sit back, and watch this world burn while I pick up the pieces. I know Shane is loyal to me. Gabe desperately wants to be my number 1, Marissa and the Meku alliance think I'm with them all the way. Sophie at least for now thinks I'm loyal to her group. Same with Liliana (who is now unhinged) and then there's Sugar and Flicka, who, the more I think about it, the more dangerous they are to keep around. (Sugar's changed a lot, her strategic side is bubbling up to the surface and that terrifies me.)

David should not have gone home. Because of David leaving, this has left Liliana berserk and a paranoid, off-script Liliana is fucking frightening. That's the Liliana that finds idols and fucks everyone up. This is why we needed to get one of Sophie's lackeys out first because that presents a massive wildcard now unleashed upon the game.

I need to still keep letting other people do the big decisions since it's gotten me this far. I can't completely turn into the uber bitch Kelly from Bolivia quite yet just because everyone will target me if I do.

- Mon Nov 30, 2015 5:00:17 pm #4704 So I woke up this morning and finally did the math on who voted for who. I know that I personally fucked up how I handled Shane, trusting him to vote Sophie but even then it wouldn't have mattered. Sophie had a solid block of 5 with her.

Mookie - Kimmi
Kelly - Kimmi
Shane - Kimmi
Sugar - Kimmi
Flicka - Kimmi

Gabe - David
Marissa - David
Sophie - David
Kimmi - David
Artis - David

Liliana - Sophie
David - Sophie

Jenna - Shane

It was then I realized that we had a mole right from the get go. Artis double crossed us. We're gonna need to take him out sooner than later. The hard part is that there is a lot of anger and distrust all throughout camp. Which is great, truly. If I have to list down some names of people who are definite threats, it would be:

Sophie
Liliana
Artis
Sugar
Marissa

These people are cunning game players that need to be eradicated soon. Everyone else is just collateral. If I broke it down by loyalty to those 5...

Sophie - Kimmi - Artis - Gabe - Marissa
Liliana - Sugar - Mookie
Artis - Sophie
Sugar - Flicka
Marissa - Jenna - Mookie

As it stands, Sophie does have the most power and the most followers. Liliana squandered hers last night when she went on a tirade. I know that Sugar made a promise not to vote for her so I'm counting that as loyalty. The more I break it down, the more it makes sense to take out Artis at this time.

Now of course, Marissa wants Flicka taken out. I need to somehow get her cards played. Taking FLicka out I think would be trouble because that would piss Sugar off and i do not want an angry Sugar, not this early in the game.

Speaking of, have you reached out to players that you previously haven't? Did the vote leave players open to making new alliances/switching things up? Who do you feel most comfortable with in the game? Do you plan on teaming up and trusting one person and causing damage with them, or are you more of a one woman band?

Oh I'm not hamming it up at all, I'm actually using these confessionals to collect my thoughts and keep track of who's aligned with who and who do I like more. I need this journaling experience particularly in this game where I just have my claws in every pot.

I think I've actually talked to everyone in the game. Artis was the only other person I haven't talked to prior to the merge. I had a nice chat with him but he didn't seem very engaged. At first I thought it was just his nature but now I think it's because he's too busy playing his own game that doesn't require me in it.

The vote, as it always does, delineated exactly who stands where in this crazy jumble of a tribe we have. I think the immediate aftermath leaves Liliana out in the open now that she doesn't have David's vote. It also forced Kimmi to join up with Sophie but I know that Kimmi has a mind of her own and sees her partnership with Sophie as more of a liability than an asset.

Right now I'm actually most comfortable in Shane, ironically. He is this powder keg that blew up last night but that's the Shane I know and love from Season 4. I know him, I know how he thinks and moves. I can trust him that much. That being said, I'm a one woman band. I have no qualms voting against my biggest allies, it's just part of my history really dating back to the Gretchen witch-hunt.

There's still a lot of game to be played and this over-all sense of suspicion and paranoia over our tribe is only going to be good for me in the long run. It's just a matter of not getting sucked into it as well.
