Another one bites the dust, but not you!!



1-We're down to 15 castaways. How important are these next few votes leading into a potential merge?
2-Are you interested in becoming the nomad? or is it more important to solidify yourself in this tribe?
3-You have allies, but do you think you've made any enemies? Any players in the game that you think are gunning for you?
4-What are you planning to do this weekend to set yourself up for a successful challenge/tribal on Sunday?
5-Lets talk critically about your game right now. Would you consider yourself a power player who is worthy of votes at the end? Or are you worried that you're just coasting by and could be considered a FTC goat?

1. I think these last few pre-merge votes might be the most important in the whole game. You gotta start taking out threats, but also think through what a threat is to you. People like Pat and Angela, who had no one on their old tribes and seem to be feeling good now, will be much more likely to stay with me than someone like Chelsea, whose ties are all on the other side, or Davie, who's barely playing the game and god knows what's actually on his mind. I do think the merge is near, probably 2-3 round away, but I have a hunch there might be another swap at F15 or F14. Hopefully not this Sunday though, it would seriously be nerve wracking to get with a new tribe and immediately have to think of someone to vote off.

2. Well, the bond I had with Angela from Tuaregs sure proved beneficial after the swap, and might help me even further come merge time. It might also be easier to connect with Gabby later on, especially after talking to Alec, who I like A LOT. But I feel like being the nomad gives you too much power. So much, that I would potentially fuck something up, say too much to the wrong person and put myself in a worse position. I feel like that's what Kellyn has done- she certainly didn't come across well to me. So I'd much rather keep strengthening bonds my the peeps over here, and hope that the other nomads spread good words about me.

3. Chelsea could definitely be gunning for me. I'm pretty sure she'd want to get one of Steph, Jed & I out, so that's why I'd rather not take her to the merge. I don't think I have enemies, i.e people that have a personal vendetta against me, but people could definitely be seeing me as a threat. I hope not, but I'm not oblivious to that possibility.

4. I'm planning to get my ass to London and rave at a concert on Saturday. Oh, besides that? Well, I feel kinda set up with our alliance of 4 - Jed, Steph, Angela and I, - so I'll just keep talking to everyone, see what they'd like to do next in case we lose, and try to decide who is more dangerous out of Chelsea and Davie. We'll probably try to let Angela have as much input as she wants, so if she suggests Davie and thinks Chelsea is reasonable to keep around longer, I'll most likely go with it.

5. Pre-merge is easy, if FTC was a couple votes away, I'd probably win, but that's not the case. The real game begins at the merge, and whether I have a shot to win or not depends on how I maneuver the votes then. At this point in the game, I would be happy if others considered me a goat that is not in contention to get voted out. But let's be real, I've been playing quite hard.

Ok so let's run a hypothetical here based upon your timeline. What is your ideal outcome of the next few challenges/tribals? Would you prefer to go to tribal and solidify your group on this tribe, taking out people you know you can't work with? Or would it be more beneficial for you to avoid tribal until the merge? Maybe something in between?

[Robb]

I definitely want to go to tribal at least once more before the merge, especially if there isn't another swap. That would help me build more trust with Angela & Pat, so that they are willing to continue working together at the merge.
I hope we win the next challenge though, as I would like to see someone else from nuAhmar leave. Hopefully Ghandia & Clay could team up with Sebastian, Kellyn & Donathan to take out one of the og Fenassas, who must be pretty tight. Though on the other hand, I might be able to have some sway with Alec and Gabby at the merge, and I've got absolutely nothing on Seb & Don. Plus Kellyn is not to be trusted.

My ideal scenario is probably us winning the next immunity, Mike or Seb/Don leaving, and then losing the following immunity to get Chelsea or Davie out. After that, if there's still another tribal round, I wouldn't really mind what happens.
However, thinking that far ahead is hard, as what happens on Sunday could likely change my plans moving forward. For example, if Clay or Ghandia leave, I might think about throwing an immunity challenge.

If the remaining pre-merge boots are some of Chelsea/Davie/Seb/Don/Kellyn/Mike, I'm happy.

lmao what is this game
I'm gradually increasing my love for Chelsea as a person, and starting to think we can actually trust each other. Is she a genius player, or a stray dog who has actually found someone she trusts?

I think I need to trust my gut. Stephanie gave me strange vibes pre-swap, and though I had calmed those thoughts for some time, I'm realizing now from what Chelsea has told me that my concerns might not have been paranoia. I'd rather Steph left pre-merge than Chelsea at this point.
