[Susie Smith]

Welcome back! Hope you had a refreshing weekend!

Danni led the Numbers challenge and Deshawn won individual immunity, and then you had the weekend to decide what to do about the vote. Nine players remain! Let's hear your thoughts at this point in the game.

1. Were there any surprises on who guessed who in the Numbers challenge?
2. Why did you vote the way you did tonight? How does that tie in to your overall strategy to win?
3. Many of you have made some close bonds. With whom do you enjoy solving Stranded mysteries the most? What mysteries have you solved together in the game so far? Are your fellow mystery-solving players also the ones you have the highest level of trust in?
4. What’s your best move next round? How likely do you think your chances are of getting to make that move?
5. If this is your first season, tell us how it’s going for you. What have been your biggest surprises about the player you turned out to be? If this isn’t your first season, tell us about your first game. What sort of player were you then? How does that compare to now?

Now, some questions from the lurkers:

John asks, “How do you think the jury will respect your game if you continue on your current path?”

Mike wants to know, “Who on the cast would you like to call a fat cunt?”

1. Id have to go back and check if there were any surprises, but it seemed as though the Anchos had a silent pact to not guess any of our own tribe mates before the the Kallpas, so I wasn't going to be the one to disrupt the status quo, I went after who I had narrowed down which happened to be Evvie and Abe, and then I really thought I had the win but clearly not.maybe tonight will be the one for me to win.

2. I locked that vote for Erik in at the airport while I was trying not to die, so it really was nothing personal against him, I asked my alliance where the votes were falling and they told me Erik so I took it at face value. I think this is the end of the pagonging, I would like it to be at least, but I really don't know if I can trust JR to follow through on a plan without spilling the beans, it really doesn't sound like I can, so our options to pull in a 5th for a potential Evvie blindside are Shan and Leslie, and those could be tough votes to flip, I don't think Heather will flip on Evvie so she is out. its just a matter on if we go for it now or wait till 7 to make a move on her.

3. I think Abe and I are the resident solvers in action around here, seems like we solved the mystery of the stray vote for Leslie from last round (Shan?), I def have the highest trust in Abe at this point, Xander and Deshawn as well but I think Abe is my bona fide #1 if push came to shove right now.

4. im really debating that heavy in my mind right now, I think it would be best for us to get Evvie out now as she's such a huge threat to win,  just a matter of pulling in the votes for that and not having bite us in the ass for the next round. it's basically 50/50 in my mind, either we pull in the extra vote we need and it stays under wraps, or the person we try to pull in flips and tells Evvie and then were in trouble. 

5. First ORG ive ever played, feels good to have made the merge so far, but my sights are set beyond that. I think im surprised how well I get along with pretty much everyone, cause chatting online is hard, there's no facial expressions or body language to read. people could be playing me and it would be tough to really know. 

Lurkers: thanks for following along, quick question, can the jury players see our confessionals?

I think that they'll respect once the pagonging stops, clearly Erik/Jaime is not happy with the current way the votes are shaping up, but I think they should be able to respect the timing of the moves as fans of the game, you can't come into merge and immediately rock the boat with your tribe that holds such a big majoirty, its all about biding your time and luring people into a fall sense of security before you make the fatal strike they aren't expecting.

Tough question, sounds like a question Erik posed on his way out the door, but ill go with the easy answer of Heather just cause thats how id describe the real Heather.

The Jury cannot see confessionals, feel free to speak your mind.

 

[Sara]

Cool cool, well in that case I withs Erik and Jaime would quit bitching, sorry we dicked you down in the pre merge challenges, thats not really my fault. But it seems like they'll get their wish as long as Heather doesn't win immunity tonight

[Sara]

im looking forward to this touchy subjects, im def gonna start some beef if im the negative answer to anything
 

[Sara]

oh my god im getting COOKED right now. Fucking JR comes to me, says he would like to vote out Dehsawn or Abe, cool, ill humor him and use this info to lock up my relationship with Dehshawn, we can use that info to blindside Shan/Evvie/Leslie and weaken JR significantly cause he has immunity right now. Abe comes to me, says he hears my name going around, and hes just so squirelly won't tell me where he heard it from, so Abe is sketching me out a little bit. I tell him as he told me, "because you are a friend, you cannot tell anyone what I am about to tell you, it will fuck my game" all good so I thought, I tell him JR came to me with either Abe/Deshawns name in hand, and what does the mohterfucker do?? Turns around and tells JR FUCKING IMMEDIATELY, like Abe what the actual fuck?? You told me you hate this guy and don't talk game to him at all and you fucking blow up my spot instantly, now im doing fucking damage control with JR, I don't know if I can trust you, and I don't know if Deshawn is even going to believe if I tell him now, so fucking thanks for that. You still are a cool guy and a friend, but you really just fucked me in the game here. So im pretty fucking mad right now

[Sara]

and now Abe is basically giving me the "well you didnt say it would ruin your game" getting bogged down in semantics with me like some sort of playground dispute, own up to it like a man and don't backtrack on what I thought was a solid alliance. 

[Sara]

Now Abe is telling me 10 million different names,Heather told me JR said Deshawn

Deshawn said JR said Sara

Evvie said JR said Heather

JR said to me Heather

Then you said Me or Deshawn

So JR is really convinced about an Abe/Evvie/Deshawn trio, which im not entirely sold on, but the way Abe is acting is really not filling me with confidence, but from what Abe told me about what JR told everyone else, it does sound like the supposed plan to go for Deshawn is the real one. Sounds like Xander and I are the potential swing votes if if it really is Abe/Deshawn/Heather on one side (id prefer to go with that side) vs. JR/Evvie/Shan/Leslie on the other. tomorrows gonna be fucked

[Sara]

and now Abe is just coming to me right now saying Deshawn and Heather are down, but they're both offline for at least 30 min so like where tf are you pulling this from? Dude has fucking shot down my trust tree in the span of a few hours.

[Sara]

Abe seems to realize Xander and I are the swing votes here if the sides are really drawn as they seem. fuck me I really don't know what to do tomorrow.

[Sara]

Decisions Decisions...

Abe is telling me Leslie now, JR is telling me Abe/Deshawn and hes confident he has the numbers for it so it basically just comedown to which side im confident has the numbers... but then again, Abe FUCKED me last night, and a little revenge does sound oh so sweet... I think. my  vote will be up in the air till the very end. God this gon a be a fuckin tough one, if I get it wrong im out the door next, and even if I get it right I could still be out the door next.

 

[Sara]

Jr is laying it on thick about me working with him, I really don't want to trust him but I might be out of options here.

[Sara]

Okay so now Heather has dropped an absolute BOMBSHELL that Abe is coming after me now for this round. Good god almighty who can I even turn to anymore. I honestly think I might go ahead and cote for Abe tonight. Fuck it.

[Sara]

The person I thought I had liked the least, has indeed risen in my hour of need. While the person I thought I could most trust has plotted my own demise against me. Heather im sorry for the mean shit I said about you, I clearly misjudged you from the start. Abe, im sorry for all the trust I put in you, I CLEARLY misjudged you.

Even my close friend in whom I trusted, who ate my bread, has lifted his heel against me.
