9th Place | Voted Out 5-3-1
By Nate Gonzalez
#5086 N8 here, fresh off my release from Cook Island County, questions:

How’d you feel about Liliana going home?

Looking at the tribal council, it seems like the vote should have been unanimous for Liliana. Why do you think it wasn’t and do you think it has any impact on the rest of the season?

This is the second vote in a row where four people got votes. Do you think that this is going to continue? Does this say anything about the way the game has been played or will be in the future?

Now that we’re at Final 11, do you feel like you are an under the radar or over the top player? Do you feel like an under the radar or over the top player is the next to go?

This tends to be the point where a strong core group of people tends to form and lines get drawn in the sand. Who’s on your side and how sure of that are you?

#5110 Hey Nate, I hope you're enjoying being assigned to me lol.

I felt awful about Liliana going home because I did genuinely like her. I actually was about to share the idol clue with her when the PM's got shut down. I just felt like she totally dug herself into a hole this last round and anyone siding with her would get marked for death.

I think the fact that it wasn't a unanimous Liliana vote is telling of how nice a person she was. I know Sugar probably voted for Marissa because of her pledge to never vote for Lili. The Shane vote was the one Lili cast (which for me was her biggest mistake, she should have fought for that Artis vote, there could have been a tie). The Artis votes were me, Mookie and Jenna, in case Lil played an idol, which I was so hoping she would.

the more tribals we go to the more it solidifies who's siding with who so that's a good thing. I know right now that I can trust Shane, Sugar and Mookie the most. Maybe Kimmi, I'll find that out tomorrow. Also Jenna, bumbling, adorable Jenna. It's clear she's loyal to us.

Right now I feel like I've been under the radar, I personally detest the notion that being under the radar is bad gameplay because that's as valid a strategy as any and it shows more intellectual prowess to control your emotions and your ego and not have to be the center of everything all the time. We're blessed this season that there are obvious inactives that made the merge that us proper UTR players can hide behind.

I know that it's getting to be that time to pick a side. I intend on gathering the orphans and taking out Queen Sophie's empire but it's going to need a lot of strategic planning. It's like the Rebel Alliance/Resistance going against the Empire/First Order.

Shane is hopefully totally on my side, so is Mookie and then Sugar, I don't completely trust Flicka yet but Sugar has complete faith in her. I trust Jenna and then I'll see tomorrow if Kimmi is willing to turn her back on Sophie. If I somehow get blindsided tomorrow, then Sophie's empire has a much more solid hold than I thought and this would be a repeat of my All-Stars performance. Either way, it's time to get the troops out.

#5132 Nate is assigned to everyone as part of his work release program <3 But he does enjoy you in particular ;) Something something matured white chocolate. So with Sophie still holding on to her Public Immunity Idol, who do you think is going to be the target for votes tomorrow night?

Honestly I think she's going to gun for either me or Sugar. This was the big risk of taking Liliana out, the people hiding behind her are exposed a little bit more. She actually has a pretty solid group behind her.

I'm going to see if I can pull off something stupid and impossible tomorrow. I've already laid it out to Mookie this way:


We push for an Artis vote through and through. The way I see it, the people with questionable allegiances: Flicka, Gabe and Kimmi will have no problem going after Artis.

Marissa is most likely going to push for a Flicka vote again. This time we entertain her. Us team Meku will tell her that we'll go along with her with voting FLicka out. If this happens she's gonna be locked down to 1 Flicka vote.

I personally don't think Sophie is going to go along with a Flicka vote and is going to push for either me or Sugar to go next. Artis is going to vote with her most likely.

Here's the kicker, Mookie, me, Sugar, Jenna, Shane are going to vote for Sophie. We're of course going to tell everyone that we're voting for Artis.

all in all the votes will be:

Mookie - Sophie
Jenna - Sophie
Kelly -Sophie
Shane - Sophie
Sugar - Sophie

Flicka - Artis
Gabe - Artis
Kimmi - Artis

Sophie - Kelly/Sugar
Artis - Kelly/Sugar

Marissa - Flicka

I'm putting my neck out there but if this works, we'll have the upper hand. The big risk here, aside from Sophie finding out and playing her idol is if Flicka and Artis are actually working together. I have my suspicions because I saw them both online for a long period of time and neither of them messaged me. IF they vote as a block of 3 and Sophie plays an idol, it's over for me or Sugar.

Actually now that I think about, someone in the Sophie group could also vote Artis as a fail safe in case Flicka is working against us. If it's a tie and Sophie has played her idol, then the core 5 would just automatically vote Artis along with Kimmi and Gabe.

it's really really risky but a big move is going to have to be made to de-power Sophie.

#5158 So apparently, for some reason no one wants to vote for Artis? Like Mookie says Kimmi didn't want to vote Artis last night and now Marissa keeps dodging the suggestion of voting Artis, like what the fuck? Did he like eat you guys out or something?

and don't even get me started on Marissa, who is so far up Sophie's ass that she might as well be her third boob. Like every opportunity she gets she dodges the option of going actively against her and keeps trying to drag our asses and pin them into Sophie's wheel house. Like her latest big mastermind plan is to have me, Mookie and Jenna actively campaigning for a Sophie boot while she goes and warns Sophie about it and convinces her to play her idol. What? so that Sophie can love her and adore her forever? So that from now on all of Sophie's shitty Adele gifs are dedicated at her? Fuck that shit!

I could easily draft a new plan, nobody wants to vote off Artis? fine. We'll keep his inactive ass in the game. I'm sure Kimmi won't have a problem voting our Marissa. Same with Sugar and Mookie and myself. That;s 4 votes Marissa. Artis wants to be a hero and vote Sophie out? sure thing. He can take Jenna, Flicka and Shane and they could all vote Sophie. It does not even matter at this point who Gabe, Sophie or Marissa vote for.

Marissa wants to make Sophie play her idol? go for it, girl your ass is going home.

i got so caught up in the geometry/biology of this that I forgot to think of a question, but I don't think you need one to keep going.

I should have been more clear, the way I was envisioning it is that Marissa is shoved so far up Sophie from the bottom that her face comes up to Sophie's chest making it a third breast ala Blade Runner? Like you know how in the movie Anaconda, when the snake swallowed up John Voight there's a part where you see his face kinda poking through its skin. Sophie's the snake, Marissa's John Voight.

#5182 So so far, everything appears to be going as planned. I think I have solidified Kimmi, myself, Mookie and Sugar to vote for Marissa tonight.

Marissa thinks that her big Sophie blindside plan is going strong with Jenna, like the good soldier she is, she's actively campaigning the necessary ancillary votes for Sophie. So that should be Flicka, Shane, Jenna and hopefully Artis voting Sophie.

Now Gabe and Sophie are both probing me as to who I'm gonna gun for. As it stands Gabe thinks he's come up with a plan to take out Flicka. That coupled with Marissa's Flicka scheme gives Flicka 2 votes, three if Sophie goes along with. (the alternative being Mookie probably)

The wildcard right now is Artis as his allegiances will determine whether the tie tonight will be between Marissa and Sophie or Marissa and Flicka. If it's the latter, I may need to use Shane's rantings during the revote to expose Marissa's allegiances and get everyone to take her out over Flicka.

I'll keep y'all posted. For all I know, I'm being played super hard right now, which honestly that's a lot of effort just to blindside some old nobody.

#5520 Oh hehe. that's cool you should totally check Blade Runner out, it's a little slowly paced at the beginning but it's an awesome movie. It's another reason why people born in the 80's have such a hard on for Harrison Ford.


you can skip Anaconda, unless it's with RiffTrax or you just want to see Jennifer Lopez act for a couple of hours.
