Donnie,
Well, you've made it to the final 9. Single digits!!! If you feel comfortable, it's probably time to make sure everything is as it seems. We are closer to the end than it may appear. There are only a handful of votes separating you from the cash prize in Morocco. Here's a few imperative questions to get you thinking.


1. You weren't around for tribal council tonight. Have you gotten the scoop on what went down? What have you learned and what are you going to do about it?
2. Tonight's tribal council seemed to have a lot of uncertainty and tension. Did anybody's behavior before or during the council alarm you? What did you learn and how has it changed your plans immediately and over the long term?
3. There's at least 1 idol currently in play, how much are you worried about someone being able to remain immune for the rest of the game? Do you have any plans to deal with idols in the future?
4. You just put a 4th person on the jury, that's potentially enough votes to win the game. What do you think are your jury votes right now?
5. How much are you weighing the potential of each remaining player as an opponent at FTC versus a potential jurymember? Do you have a strategy for jury management from this point forward?

Best of luck, we're rooting for you!

dude i missed a Night huh!!!! i went to a concert and when i got accepted into this game i knew that the concert was going to happen and i always felt like i was going to get voted out while i was there i just had it in my head that the night i got voted out would be the one time i couldnt do anything so the fact that im still here is really cool but coming on this morning to see that i got 2 votes and was called chelseas chess piece def doesnt feel gooooood

i just got to work and of course the first thing i did was come on here to get the tea lmao and chelsea is on so im getting the scoop from her..... before i left i checked in with people and checked where the votes were and it looked like it was either pat or davie and thats what i wanted to do for this vote and i made that known so i voted for pat bc i wanted to do him first so coming on to find out that pat left and everything went exactly as i thought it would is nice but chelsea is telling me about how the vote was supposed to be davie but then chelsea told gabby that she was going to vote pat but then gabby thought that the vote flipped and there was a mess and a scramble that led to confusion and pat and davie trying to get people to vote for me.... frankly im glad i missed that mess bc it seems like all these people just overplaying and being paranoid when there was a plan that worked out just fine with pat leaving!

although getting votes is never a good thing it actually makes me feel kinda good... i knew that pat and davie didnt want me here which is why i wanted them gone and i made that known to anyone who i talked to about the vote.... i just checked in with angela who told me that pat and davie approached her to vote me out and said that they had 4 votes with them + sebastian&robb and they needed one more and were trying to get angela to vote me out... that should scare me but it actually comforts me?????????? pat was an easy person to drag to the end so knowing that i formed relationships with people and made them think that im loyal and worthy of keeping over a nonentity like pat validates the work that ive put into crafting a foundation that has got me this far and will help moving forward

i dont think the tribal changed my immediate plans moving forward but seeing pat call me chelseas chess piece doesnt bode well for my perception from the jury but im not surprised by that at all im not under some delusion that ive been playing some grand flashy game.... i love chelsea but i have no intention of actually going to the end with her so its not like hearing pat say that has woken me up to my standing on this tribe im a self aware bitch but it was the sign i needed to let me know that its time to start making the transition from behind the scenes reactive game to a more proactive game....

i want davie gone tonight because theres no way he'll work with me moving forward so he can go.... at 8 im expecting some of the big dogs to get antsy to take one of eachother out and if thats not the case then im going to try and make it happen..... chelsea already came to me this morning with concerns about robb who apparently lied to her and said that i went to him saying i was going to vote out davie?? idk why he would do that since there would be no benefit to him lying about me saying i was going to vote davie when i never talked to him and since the vote was between pat and davie anyway how does telling chelsea that help him???? idk i dont necessarily trust chelsea she could just be telling me this to get me to distrust robb and plant that seed of doubt to get him out later but honestly i dont care because i want both of them gone so if theyre both playing messy they can do what they want and ill take out whatever one wants to go first.... ideally i would love to team up with the people who have been left out and scoop up clay and alec at 7 and hopefully with sebastian we would have majority to take out some big players like chelsea, robb, angela, gabby (literally as soon as i finished typing that i was promising chelsea "final 5 and beyond" lol oops)........ i think thats my best path to a chance to win but it will be hard because idk where idols are and i have good relationships with all those people so i cant just go crazy and blindsiding everyone bc then the target will turn back on me so ill have to play into everyones game and work subtly and with caution but at this point i dont see any of the 4 people on jury voting for me to win so im going to have to do something to change that

[Donathan]

lmao i saw davie was on and messaged him saying hey bc well.... ive only said hi to him once and i figured that he'll be going to jury and if im in f3 and my pitch is that i played a social game why would he vote for me if the sole thing im basing my game off of is disproven bc i never got to know him.... but then i changed my mind bc i feel like hes going to be desperate and if he uses the fact that i was pandering to him before voting him out against me it might not be good and people will realize that im just trying to get his jury vote and will want me out so i said hey and then just stopped responding lmao i hate this

Let's do a recap. So far this is the breakdown of the final 9 in the game:

Original Ahmar: Clay, Robb
Original Fenassa: Alec, Davie, Gabby
Original Jellal: Angela, Chelsea, Donathan, Sebastian

New Ahmar: Alec, Clay, Donathan, Gabby, Sebastian
New Fenassa: Angela, Chelsea, Davie, Robb


Do any of these formations stick out to you, do you think it could impact the game going forward and does it factor into your plans?

[Donathan]

youre a shit stirrer you are.... my name happens to be in the biggest list on both of those?!

[Donathan]

im sure thats in everyones heads because robb brought up to me his fear of the 5 ahmar still being together and i got the vibe that chelsea is also afraid of that.... and the 4 jellal are a group that have been solid up until this point so those tribal lines will and have impacted my game for sure so i will have to make all my moves with that factored into my decision making

[Jeff Probst]

youre a shit stirrer you are.... my name happens to be in the biggest list on both of those?!

Donathan has 8 letters and Sebastian has 9... It's not the size of the boat....

[Donathan]

me and sebastian are both in the groups of people who have majority numbers from tribelines so together that is 17 letters which is really big

[Jeff Probst]

me and sebastian are both in the groups of people who have majority numbers from tribelines so together that is 17 letters which is really big

Do you anticipate the other groups making a move against yours?

[Donathan]

you guys i think im either the swing vote or the person getting voted out and this is a really scary position!!!!! idk if im in a really good spot right now or if i'm being cagayan sarah lacina'd..... alec gabby sebastian want to vote robb (i wanted robb out since this afternoon but gabby thinks she convinced me and that i'm in her back pocket so thats perfect she can think that)

chelsea just came to me saying that she and angela want to vote out gabby and they could get robb and clay on board and she wanted to know if i would do it and i said im voting for robb tonight...

wait i forgot about davie...... he's actually probably the real swing vote...... so theres a third option where its a 5-4 vote where gabby goes and robb stays and im in the minority.... that would suck too wow who knows whats gonna happen tonight whatever it is

another option is that chelsea has an idol and uses it to idol out gabby to make a big move and just wanted to include me in the plans bc she trusts me or she needed to secure that extra vote so she could save an idol?????

THE POSSIBILITIES ARE ENDLESSSSSSSSS!!!!! ive done a lot of talking to people and gaming today and knowing how many things are going on at once with whos saying what and are they lying to me or are they lying to that person.... its a lot but thats why im here to go thru all that and come out of it with success

[Donathan]

1. Who is the biggest final 3 goat? davie
2. Who would you most expect to be asked back for an All-Star season? chelsea
3. Who is the most likely to win the game? angela
4. Who does not deserve to still be here? davie
5. Who would you trust with your life? sebastian
6. Who do you think has the most enemies on the jury? chelsea
7. Who do you hope to never interact with again after the game? robb
8. Who is most likely to stab you in the back? chelsea
9. Who mistakenly thinks they are in control? robb
10. Who is the biggest strategic threat in the game? gabby
11. Who's the most unbearable to talk to? clay

[Donathan]

im scared that robb is going to go for the idol tonight because davie told him that he's in trouble..... i want to go for it incase robb is and if i go for the idol i lose my vote and im the swing vote so since chelsea and angela are only not voting for robb bc i said i was then they might feel empowered to vote for gabby since it would be a tie and would have the chance to make the move but i would play the idol for gabby because i was just called a goat so if i wanted the jury to respect me i could make a flashy move like giving up my vote, playing an idol on gabby which makes her feel connected to me, and idoling out robb????? but then that shows my cards too much when me not taking the idol lessens that chance of any of that happening
